COOL HEADS YOUNG DRIVER PROGRAM
LSC Ross Adams and LSC Brent Ward with members of Tatura Football/ Netball Club The young athletes of the Tatura Football/ Netball Club will be attending the next ‘Cool Heads – Young Driver Program’, to be held at the Eastbank Centre; Welsford Street, Shepparton, on Wednesday, July 23, 2014, commencing at 7.00 pm. Local police developed the ‘Cool Heads’ program in 2008. The goal remains; to remove the devastating trauma caused by fatal and serious injury collisions on local roads. The program does not teach our young drivers how to drive; it is designed to highlight the real consequences of distraction and risk taking behaviour while driving. It is designed to improve the attitude young people have towards driving and our roads. To date over 3,400 young people have attended ‘Cool Heads’ and we have had a significant reduction in the number of our young people killed or
seriously injured on our roads. The death of local young sports people on our roads has had a devastating impact on their families, friends, local community and their sporting clubs. The culture within sporting clubs can have both a positive and at times negative impact upon the personal development of young sports people. So challenge the young drivers in your life, before it is too late, to take this opportunity to reflect on their attitudes to driving. The reality is that 16 to 25 year old demographic have the highest risk of being killed or seriously injured on our roads. In recent years some sporting clubs in our area have attended a ‘Cool Heads’ program as a group. The feedback received from these players, coaches and officials has been extremely positive. Tatura FNC should be
congratulated for making this commitment to their players. It further bonds the group to look after each other both on and off the playing field. The venue for this program is the Eastbank Centre which has been generously donated by the Greater Shepparton city Council. The larger venue increases the program’s ability to cater for all local sporting clubs to include members in the identified high risk age group. Alternatively the invitation stands for parents to accompany the valuable young people in their lives to the next Cool Heads session.

100 YEARS OF SERVICE The Red Cross movement began by the efforts of a young Swiss banker, Henri Dunant, who was horrified when he witnessed a fierce battle near the Italian town of Solferina in June 1859. Many dead bodies and wounded were strewn over the battle field and the cries of the wounded were distressing as there was no-one left in the village to help, all the population had fled. On the following morning Henri succeeded in getting together some women to get around to men dying of hunger and thirst and soon a group of volunteer helpers was formed. Then Henri decided that in times of peace relief societies for the purpose of caring for the wounded in wartime could, with enthusiastic volunteers, carry out this task. So from there Henri’s vision spread throughout the world. If Henri were here today he would be amazed at this worldwide organisation. Wherever there is a need there is the Red Cross. An inaugural meeting of the British Red Cross was held at Buckingham Palace in July 1905, presided over by Queen Alexandria. Three years later the British Red Cross was granted a Royal Charter by King Edward V11. Red Cross in Australia began as a branch of the British Red Cross Society. Nine days after the outbreak of World War 1 the Australian Branch of the British Red Cross was formed at Government House Melbourne, the residence of the Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia. Our present Tatura/Harston Red Cross Unit is an amalgamation of local units. We will celebrate the centenary at our AGM on Wednesday 16th July in the St. Mary’s hall, Hogan St. Tatura at 2pm. At that meeting we will see a DVD of Red Cross through the years and hear histories of our local units. We invite any who are interested to come and maybe some will be able to tell us of any experiences they have had of Red Cross. - June Cohen
District Manager Marj Earl repeats the promise with Isabelle Piercy
TATURA GIRL GUIDES A moving enrolment ceremony was held on May 29. The only light was the warm glow from the open fire, with a candle lit hall and the Guides carrying their own guiding light as they walked towards District Manager Marj Earl who was to enrol Isabelle Piercy. Isabelle was taken forward by Moara Smith to make her promise. Past Guides who were present also renewed their promise and joined the final Horse Shoe for Taps and this brought memories flooding back. The evening finished with supper prepared by the Guides at their own homes. This may be changed after our Fund Raising Fashion Parade when the Guides will be able to cook supper at their own hall, with the electric stove and hot water connected. The Fashion Parade includes the Guide Uniforms of yesteryear
coming from Melbourne. It will also show off Tatura’s ‘Velvet Emporium’ fashions with our local girls strutting the catwalk! If you were a Girl Guide, dust off those badges and wear them on the day! Girl Guides Fashion Parade to be held on July 10 at 1.30pm also there will be an - Apron Competition: Bring your favourite apron along: 1st Prize -- $50.00 for most original apron and a gift prize for the prettiest apron, store bought or homemade, it doesn’t matter, let’s have some fun!

A collection of classic cars
MURCHISON'S ANNUAL FAMILY FUN NIGHT This year's event was even bigger than the first held last year and was certainly enjoyed by all who attended in the lovely setting of the Riverside Gardens at Murchison. The fundraiser, supporting the DP Jones Aged Care and Murchison Community Care, was definitely successful thanks to those involved
working so hard and the pleasant weather on the night helped as well. The classic cars on display were a particular drawcard for many of different ages and there was also a lot of interest at the display put on by the local CFA.
There were competitions and prize giveaways, a large variety of different market stalls, delicious food on offer, free face painting for children and live entertainment. Generally speaking, the whole gathering had quite a festive feel to it.

LOOKING FOR A VENUE FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION?
Jack Johnson, Mavis, Maggie and Chris Johnson with extended family
MAVIS IS AMAZING! Mavis Lucy Victoria Hunt celebrated her 100th Birthday on May 23 (her actual birth date is May 24) in the dining hall at Moyola Lodge, which was filled with family and friends. Mavis ‘Is Amazing’. She is a very organised person who stands as straight as a young woman and is more than aware of the activities going on around her. Her daughter Maggie Johnson arranged the celebration in the well decorated hall and called on Legatee Robert Mathieson from Legacy to speak. Robert said, “I first met Mavis 18 years ago when I visited her as her Legacy contact. I was very impressed when she welcomed me into her home, and I remember thinking what a magnificent lady she was”. He wished her a very happy birthday and many more! Mavis has been in Legacy for 33 years. Her English husband Sidney Hunt was a WWI Veteran and passed away in 1980. Maggie thanked Veronica Dowell, President of Tatura Senior Citizens, for making the birthday cake. Veronica said, “Mavis is a valuable
member of Senior Citizens and it had been an absolute pleasure to make and decorate the birthday cake for her”. The speeches finished with Mavis’ nephew Harry Bedwell relating some of the stories concerning Mavis and her family which Mavis enjoyed. He then handed her the birthday cards received, including those from the Queen, the Governor General and the Prime Minister. Mavis was eager to thank Maggie and everyone at Moyola Lodge, who had helped make it such a lovely occasion enjoyed by all present. She spoke clearly and beautifully. Maggie said, “Mavis had a wonderful day of celebration for her 100th birthday, and said it was a day she would never forget”. She added, “Mavis has always been caring and compassionate, and her family are very proud of the example she has set for all of them”. We add our congratulations to Mavis, and feel it is really wonderful that Tatura has this fine lady living here, a real example of how to live to a gracious age.

HIGH TEA AT COMMUNITY HOUSE Last week saw the Tatura Community House host a High Tea. This was attended by over 50 participants, who in two sessions, managed to consume a massive amount of delicious foods. All were served in the same style as the Windsor. Many rave reviews were heard at the conclusion of the day saying it was better than the Windsor and Trawool, which has to be a testament to the caterers. The House would like to thank all the ladies that worked tirelessly to get it all together, especially Bev Roberts. We will look at running another of these High Teas sometime in the future.

Knight at the
Museum
Fire engine Hello, I’m Jonathan Knight. Join me won’t you, as once again I visit the vast collection of odd, historic and unusual items on display here at the Tatura Museum. Wandering around, curious as usual I can’t help but notice the number of children’s toys competing for shelf space in rooms here and there, each with its own intimate toy story. Toys created from the anguish of war. Ingeniously constructed, each one it seems made from a memory, from the creator’s own childhood perhaps or a captured life now behind barbed wire half a world away from freedom and home. For as long as there have been wars and warriors, captured men from conflicts long forgotten, have found solace in both the creation and employment of making childhood toys. Whether by design or good fortune, toy and model-making became life-savers. Long hours of boredom were often salvaged from a scrap of wood whittled into the shape of a child’s doll, a replica of a ship, or an intricate miniature of a war machine.
Metal toy stove Here in the Tatura Museum, there are a number of unique and distinctive toys from a time of conflict not very dissimilar to those that have faced internees and prisoners over hundreds of years of war. History shows us that Roman prisoners, like other fighting men over the centuries, passed solitary hours making much the same toys as those on display. Toys that can still be found in the hands of children today; figurines, board games, toys on wheels, images of play that provided much-needed memories of peacetime and family for a lonely soldier. War-time 1940’s was no different. Toys from Tatura’s prisoner and internment camps reflect not only traditional, historic toys, but more modern miniatures of the twentieth century. German craftsmen are most prevalent with their ingenious use of scrap and improvisation, building toys that now sit reflective and silent on shelves and in glass cabinets. Among them are a number of wheeled vehicles, trucks and carts, winged examples of proud engineering feats and cut-out wooden figures, with one display in particular consisting

Girl with deer of a sizable wooden box of colourful cut-out shapes of play-worn farm and barnyard animals. But not all toys were created out of boredom and need for sanity. Some inmates made toys for sale as a means of raising much-needed funds within the camps. Many of these highly decorated wooden cut-outs also survive today. If you were ever to find yourself in a similar situation, in an alien world with few to depend on and determined to survive, how would you balance the reality of war with memories of home? Toys remind many of us of innocence and safety, of security and childhood. Is it any wonder then that those confined should, as captured combatants have done for centuries, made childhood toys? There is plenty to support the images of conflict between man and country on display here at the museum; images of internment and survival. There is also plenty of evidence that many of those who were at opposites then, shared a common childhood, a foundation of innocence which history shows was turned to in times of despair.

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Frank, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the Hume Highway. Please be careful!" "Heck," said Frank, "it's not just one car, it's hundreds of them!"

Folk Dancing Students have been learning dance in PE. This will culminate with Grade 5/6 students taking part in a Dance Festival in Shepparton on Thursday 26th June. There is a mixture of excitement and trepidation when dance is mentioned. However we encourage everyone to have a go and give it their best – it really is a lot of fun and a great skill to have! Football Congratulations to footballers Harry Murdoch and Sean McAllister who gained selection in the Shepparton District Primary Schools under12 team. Boys in Education Tatura Primary School staff had professional learning with Dr Ian Lillico addressing the educational needs of boys. It was one of the best professional learning days we have held. We have lots of information from his presentation to read and reflect on. Ian stressed the value of specific praise to boys (and girls) and the importance of strong relationships with their parents, teachers and peers. He also talked about supportive classroom environments for boys with an emphasis on deeper learning. Other topics were, time management with tasks, decreasing anxiety and increasing attention span, homework and identifying the special needs students. The school also hosted a well-attended evening session for parents in the local community. Junior School Council Our Junior School Councillors have been busy, and with the kind donations of our students raised $115 for the Lion’s Club Kids for Cancer

Consolation prize went to Glad Bourke and the raffle winner was Pat Noble. Crazy Whist will be held on the third Monday of each month. We look forward to seeing you. The annual Diocesan Conference will be held at Myrtleford on may 21 and was a very interesting, informative and enjoyable day. Thank you to those who attended and reported back to the meeting.

MURCHISON & DISTRICT SENIOR CITIZENS CLUB Our hot luncheon prior to our General Meeting on Monday June 2, was a scrumptious feast of main dishes as well as yummy desserts. There sure are some great cooks amongst our group. A big thank you to all members for supplying such lovely food and another huge thank you to those who set up prior to the luncheon and then washed up afterwards. We all appreciate your efforts. Indoor bowls is held each Wednesday afternoon starting approximately 1.30 p.m. Unfortunately the last couple of weeks it has had to be cancelled due to several reasons. As mentioned in previous issues if you are unsure whether Indoor bowls will be held please phone me. It's that simple. We do try to notify everyone in advance but sometimes time is against us.
Four of our members attended Stanhope's Senior Citizens Club 47th birthday party. Our thanks to that club for putting on such a lovely afternoon of entertainment as well as a beautiful afternoon tea. Next meeting will be Monday, July 7, 2014 starting 1.30 p.m. but no luncheon for July. We are hoping to have a guest speaker for the July meeting but still to be confirmed. A reminder to members!

BOOK REVIEW THE INVENTION OF WINGS by SUE MONK KIDD The invention of Wings is a haunting evocation of the American deep south in the nineteenth century where evils of slavery were all but invisible to those who saw it as essential to their way of life. It is also the story of an impossible friendship and sisterhood against the odds. A wonderful and very poignant story. Kidd is brilliant. She also wrote the The Secret Life of Bees. I didn’t know if her next book could possibly be as good as Bees bit it is as good if not better.

TATURA PROBUS CLUB The meeting held on May 22 was a really interesting one with a member behind the badge and a guest speaker. President Betty Curtis gave us an outline of her interesting life. She started life in East Kew and had a happy childhood with her sister and two brothers. Betty loved school and was an avid reader which must have been of great help to her in the lead up to her becoming a lawyer. She took up a place in law at Melbourne University and after graduating and completing her articles, she decided to accept an offer from Pat O’Toole to work for him in Tatura. Her sister Clarice was teaching in Tatura so it worked out well. Thank you Betty. The guest speaker was well-known local artist Val Rokahr. Val and her husband Ray have lived in Tatura for 43 years. They raise vealers on their 20 hectare farm, just out of Tatura. Val told us she has always loved painting and drawing and had dreamed of going overseas on a guided painting trip. She decided to join a group of 25 artists on a trip to Italy in September 2013, to follow her passion for water colours. They spent two weeks painting in the beautiful villages of the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany, with many funny experiences happening which she relayed to us for our enjoyment. She and her sister Mavis rounded off their trip by touring Greece, visiting Turkey, Istanbul and England, finishing up in Paris before heading home. They had a marvellous time. Val’s daughters Hayley and Kristy and friend Marli, have talked her into her having her own exhibition. It is to be held in the Mechanics Institute, in the studio created by the Creative Artists Group; on October 10, 11 and 12 with donations going to the restoration of ‘The Grand Old Lady’, Tatura’s Victory Hall. Val brought along some of her paintings for us to view and they were extraordinary so her exhibition should be fabulous. Val is a very accomplished speaker and we enjoyed her visit immensely. Probus is a really interesting and happy club. Please call President Betty Curtis on 5824 1152 if you would like further information.

THE ‘GRAND OLD LADY OF TATURA’ reminiscing again… me, sitting, very quietly, looking enough like me to be related was another building. This building was very busy with people coming and going all the time. Always lots of talking was going on in the building inside or out the front, people talking about angles, levels, planes, hammers, chisels and lots of stuff I could not understand. Peeping in the window one day I could see rows and rows of what they were calling “books”. It seemed to be these things called books that they came to talk about and discuss, very loudly some times. Often, at the back of the building at night I could hear lots of laughter and music. Everyone seemed so happy that I was happy too. I have been listening to people talking about my close neighbour, how it was called a Mechanics Institute and was built back in 1880/1881, so people could come and discuss their work and learn from the books, and each other and how to do lots of job. In fact, the Tender for building the Tatura Mechanics Institute was posted in the Argus Newspaper
You will remember hearing about my moment of conception way back in 1919 and the long gestation period until my much celebrated birth in early 1926. You will remember the poor old Governor General, Lord Stonehaven flying, (in an Aeroplane), all the way to Tatura on a very hot windy day. He was very brave and dedicated to do that, don’t forget it was only back in December 1903 that the Wright Brothers first skipped, and hopped a few feet off the ground in the first powered flight in the world. But, there I go again, rabbiting on, as usual. What I really want to talk about, was the sudden realisation that I was not alone on the block of land I was born on. Right beside

on Thursday October 7th 1880 and it read “Tenders are invited for the ERECTION of a MECHANICS INSTITUTE at TATURA, Goulburn Valley District. Tenders Close Tuesday 19th October. Full particulars on application, James Everlet Tatura” So there you have it The Tatura Mechanics Institute was conceived in October 1880. It seems the gestation period was not nearly as long as mine as this article in the Bendigo Advertiser on 9th March 1881 tells us, “The new Mechanics Institute at Tatura, is now finished, and on the 10th instance a bazaar is to be held, to inaugurate its opening. The ladies of the town have been very assiduous in their efforts to make the affair a success, and have met with a good amount of assistance and no doubt it will prove a source of attraction for the people of the district. The building, I hear, is also to be used as a church, until such time as the various denominations can erect churches of their own.” This was nearly 40 years before I was even conceived, and here I am thinking I was the most important building in town, maybe not. It looks like I have to earn the ‘Mechanics Institute’ so I can be just as popular and have lots of visitors like my neighbour. My neighbour and I now have a long history together! In fact we really got close in later years, so watch this space and I will tell you more next month.

RENOVATIONS AND EXTENSION TO THE MURCHISON HERITAGE CENTRE Anyone driving down the main street of Murchison will be able to see that there is lots of progress with the redevelopment of the Heritage Centre. The building when finished will have a vastly different appearance from the front entrance and will provide great improvements to what we can offer visitors to the centre. It is hard to be definite about when the project will be finished and it will take a while to set everything up again ready for visitors, but we hope to be open in the spring. So‌.keep watching as it all develops! Heritage Centre renovations started

The Tatura Netball Association is proud to support Arnika McGregor’s selection in the Victorian 12 & under Cricket Team that will participate in the School Sport Australia Cricket Championships in Darwin in June. TNA President Simon Pogue presented Arnika with a cheque for $200 to assist with the cost of the trip to Darwin. Arnika has played netball with the TNA for three years in its junior competition. “Arnika’s selection is a fantastic achievement and it was only fitting that it was recognised by the TNA where she has been a playing member for a number of years”, says TNA President Simon Pogue. Arnika, 11, from Toolamba, was selected to participate in the Invitational Team. Arnika’s feat is even more impressive given she only turned 11 this year and will be eligible again in 2015. “Arnika plays netball with the TNA under
the Friday nights at Tatura for the Toolamba Netball Club. She is a dynamic mid court player and from a very sporting family. She goes to Toolamba Primary School which always seems to produce good athletes and good people”, says Mr Pogue. “We always knew she was a fantastic athlete so it came as no surprise to us that she was selected to represent Victoria in cricket. So much so that she was recently selected to trial for the TNA Grade Six squad as part of our Pathway to Excellence Program”. “Our Pathway to Excellence Program is a new initiative that will provide a clear transition for our members from Net Set Go to Junior Primary Netball to Senior Secondary Netball and then beyond to senior netball with the Tatura Football Netball Club and senior netball”, says Mr Pogue. “The Pathway to Excellence Program is planned to extend not only to players, but also umpires and coaches. We want the TNA to be a club of choice so when our junior players head off to secondary school they want to return with their friends to a high quality, well run organisation that leaves them in no doubt that what they can achieve with the TNA is unlimited.” “Ultimately we want our players, parents, umpires and coaches to be long-term members with the TNA. We have fantastic facilities and great participation rates at Tatura so the logical step is to encourage and maximise the opportunity for our members.” “Recognising Arnika’s achievement in another sport is just a small way we hope to encourage participation in sport, welcome community involvement and promote excellence.” The TNA Junior competition is run on a Friday at the Tatura Netball Complex in Hastie Street from about 5.15 pm for Net Set Go and then junior games from about 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm. “We’ll have you home in time for the footy and everyone is welcome to come down and say hello”, says Mr Pogue.

CARLO’S STORY—REVISITED Last January, The Bulletin published the heart-wrenching story of loss and despair experienced by a young couple; Carlo and Vanessa Almadro, both from the Philippines, now Tatura residents. Two months earlier, in November of last year, a massive typhoon made landfall on the east coast of the Philippines, destroying much of Tacloban City together with towns nearby including Carlo’s family home in Palo. Carlo was soon to learn from his only brother Aaron that both their parents were among the many victims. He gave a harrowing account of travelling home; meeting with his brother and discovering that their parents had likely been buried in a communal grave, despite being identified. Having done all they could, he and Vanessa returned to Australia, vowing to assist Aaron in re-building the family home and providing support meanwhile, for if and when he decides to join them here. Now, six months on, re-building is slowly moving forward with a temporary structure in place where Aaron can live while plans are confirmed for the new home. “My brother is very busy,” Carlo says with pride. “Not only has he kept his job as marketing manager for a large car maker in Leyte, but he does consulting work for the local government. He is active too in the local community, assisting others with job-seeking and housing.” With so much still to do, Carlo’s brother won’t be moving to Australia for some time although he’s open to the idea of a visit, a trip mentioned often whenever the brothers talk by phone. “As for identifying our parents, we have both given DNA samples to the Philippines Red Cross.” Carlo said, adding that the organization was spearheading a campaign focused on finding and identifying victims of the disaster. On a brighter note Carlo learned recently from his brother that he had proposed to his long-term girlf riend. “She was steadfast in her support of Aaron all through this tragedy, despite her own grief.” Carlo added. “I’m so happy for both of them.” Carlo has one mission still undone. He asked his brother to send a box of old photos of their parents; one that was salvaged from the loss. It has sat unopened since it arrived two months ago. Knowing what he’ll find, what images he will see among the collection, he’s not ready yet. There’s plenty of time. - Harry Gorry

TATURA COMMUNITY PLAN CHAIRPERSON WINS VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARD
Sienna with the new cow installed in Mactier Park through the Tatura Community Plan
Carl Walters, the Chair of the Tatura Community Plan committee has won the Male Volunteer of the year for the 2014 Greater Shepparton City Council Volunteer Recognition Awards. Carl has been Chair of the Committee since it began in late 2010 and has spent much of his spare time and energy advocating for and progressing projects in Tatura. Carl is also involved with many other community groups in Tatura. The Committee warmly congratulate Carl on his well deserved win. Tatura Irrigation and Wartime Camps Museum. The Committee held a meeting at the Tatura museum recently. The Committee was taken on a tour of the museum, which includes history on irrigation and water supply of the area, local and family history of the area, and the POW camps. The amount of material housed at the museum surprised some of the committee members who hadn’t been to the museum before. The committee was pleased to have the opportunity to hold a meeting at the museum, which is a very important and unique facility in Tatura that also brings many visitors to our town. Town signage A number of committee members met with Council recently to discuss signage in Tatura. The ‘Welcome to Tatura’ signs (on Walshe St and the Ross St/Hogan St roundabout) are a wonderful reminder of the community groups that have been active in our town, but the signs themselves are in very poor condition. Plans are underway to improve these signs. Entry signs into Tatura advertising events in Tatura have also been discussed, along with simplifying signs at the Ross St/ Hogan St roundabout. Tatura Pool A Tatura pool sub-committee has met with Council to discuss maintenance and improvements at the Tatura pool. Improvements to the pool are a high priority for the Committee, and they are hopeful there will be some improvement works underway prior to the pool opening for summer this year. For further information on the Tatura Community Plan, contact Chair Carl Walters on 0419 118 237 or Heather East at the Greater Shepparton City Council on 5832 9700.

HOW’S YOUR MACULA? Although Macular Awareness Week was four weeks back, the need for information to be circulated is just as important now, as it was then. But what is Macular Degeneration? Put simply, reading this is using your macula: the centre part of your retina. It is this part of your eye, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, that processes all visual images. As we age, so do our eyes with one in seven Australians over fifty showing signs of the condition. Symptoms to be aware of are a slow or even sudden loss of central vision or an inability to see everything clearly with just the rim of sight, (the peripheral vision) un-affected. Immediate medical treatment is essential if this occurs. Early detection is crucial to saving your sight. You should never dismiss any issues affecting your eyes. Don’t excuse the situation with a shrug and, ‘I’m just getting older’. Get help, have an eye check. Macular Degeneration treatment options depend on how much damage

has occurred and how severe. Treatments aim to keep the best vision possible for as long as possible and in some cases provide improvement. At this stage there is no cure. A handy and effective tool to help monitor any change in your vision is the ‘Amsler Grid’. This is a simple white card lined with squares with a black dot in the centre. By covering each eye in turn and focusing on the dot, it’s possible to detect changes in the eye. If the grid lines are broken, wavy, distorted or have blurred or missing patches, these may be symptoms of Macular Degeneration. You can get a free Amsler Grid by searching the internet for, MD Foundation.com.au amsler grid. But don’t let it rest there. See your local optometrist for a more thorough examination of your eyes including the macula. Don’t wait to be added to the 1.15 million people who have some evidence of this potentially visiondestroying condition.

Dhurringile Tennis Club has submitted a lengthy application for the Community safety Grant through the Justice Department. The Club and community hall will be seeking to install security lights, alarm and security storage. The community aims are to be proactive and establish strategies in the prevention of crime and to provide a safe facility for all locals to share and enjoy. The club and community would like to thank Tatura Police and City of Greater Shepparton for their letter of support. Notification will not be known until the end of August if the club is successful with the Community Safety Grant Application. Congratulations to Sharon McCarthy and Lisa Niglia for their nominations for volunteering in the Goulburn Valley. Awards and certificates were received. It takes a team of people to get clubs and communities up and running, not just one individual. Dhurringile is a great community and we have an abundance of volunteers.

Dhurringile Community have a new Community Action Group.

TATURA GARDEN CLUB The Tatura Garden Club held another very successful seminar on June 4 at the Ballantyne Centre. Michael McCoy kept the 210 people entertained with his talk on revitalising tired gardens. He showed slides of gardens he had worked and designed in England and Australia. People travelled as far Melbourne, Pakenham, Albury and Deniliquin to attend. Once again members of the club provided a delicious morning and afternoon tea. Caterers provided a roast meal followed by fruit salad. A money tree and a large number of prizes donated by local businesses and garden club members were drawn. As usual the trading table was well stocked with plants and other items. All who attended really enjoyed a great day.

"He He He,Ha Ha Ha" CATARACTS A BLOODY MIRACLE!! Fair-Dinkum it's a bloody miracle this cataract procedure, Our Grans may have faced blindness but now we've got a cure, There's no pain or discomfort nor a need to have a fear, No blood, no scarring, no nothing, no need to shed a tear, The nurses are a bonza lot they've done this all before With a cheery "You'll be Jake!" they've wheeled you through the door Where your surgeon welcomes you with a reassuring "G'Day!" And with his gift, the opportunity to see clearly and ensure you'll see OK Now you'll see a myriad of coolours you'd forgotten actually exist Not the blurred muddy vision you've been viewing through a mist Now your world is bright and clear but in the mirror you must prepare For wrinkles, sagging bits, graying hair and aging stuff that previously wasn't there. As confronting as that may be here's a thought "Who cares!!" 'Cause your friends can't see the changes but you can see all theirs!! - Wilf (Bill) Lumley

Sienna, Marisa, Mark and Harry at the Greater Shepparton City Council Volunteer Recognition Awards Ceremony for Transition Tatura, nominated in the Volunteer Team category.
THE WALL The Wall has been declared a success and has now been removed from Stuart Mock Place. The Wall attracted many responses to the question “Before I die, I want to...”. Transition Tatura coordinator Ross Musolino was very pleased with the number and type of responses, which included to “find a cure for Huntingtons disease, cuddle my grandchildren and tell them funny stories about their dad, and even eat meat breaky, lunch and dinner (signed by a local dog!). “I think the Wall has been a fun way of helping people to think about what is important in their lives, and hopefully inspire them to achieve their dreams. Thanks to all the people who took the time to write on The Wall, and for all the people involved in getting it up and running!” Transition Tatura hopes that The Wall will be back in Tatura in the near future, with new questions planned. Volunteer Recognition Award Transition Tatura was recently nominated for the Greater Shepparton City Council Volunteer Recognition Awards in the Volunteer Team category. Over the past 5 years, Transition Tatura have worked on a range of community awareness activities regarding climate change and living more sustainably, including film nights, play in the piazza, garden walks, sustainable festive decorations, drinking fountains and recycle bins, and the VicRoads adopt a roadside program. Ross said of the nomination “On behalf of Transition Tatura, I’d like to thank all the members and friends of Transition that have helped out over the years to make a difference to our community!” Communities Rethinking the Future: A day of films, talks and conversation Final details are being confirmed for Transition Tatura’s film day at the Gallery Café, Hogan St., Tatura on Saturday 30th August, 2014. Tickets will be on sale shortly for what promises to be a great day, full of inspiring speakers, films and the chance to discuss our collective future here in Tatura.

MOBILE PHONES FOR PRIMARY KIDS. Recently in the UK press, a short article appeared written by a concerned mother who found herself in a no-win situation with her ten-year-old daughter. Secondary education with all its emerging world wide wonders was soon to envelop her child as nothing had before. ‘How well was she equipped?’ ‘Was giving her the mobile phone she wanted, a good idea?’ Young earnest eyes beamed at the bright box before her. The contents, according to the persuasive child, was her mother’s insurance; her peace of mind, her reassurance that all it would take was one quick call and she would know if her daughter was in any sort of trouble. Her mother smiled and nodded, comforted by the security her child now had. After all, in this day and age, anything could happen, right? Getting her a mobile phone was the right decision, wasn’t it? But this was primary school where kids played and learned through life’s changes; as seasons in the sun. It would be another year or more before the big busy world swallowed her daughter’s innocence, creating distances never imagined. One morning soon after, when dropping her child off at school, the mother couldn’t help but notice a number of other children, heads down focusing on similar mobile devices, held in hands and seeming oblivious to those around them. She watched the gaggle of kids as they streamed to assembly. Where had their greetings gone and their friendly intimacies? It all seemed alien in behaviour. Where once there were playful interloping identities, much seemed just like passing threads. Child and mobile phone! Mobile phone and child! Was this normal? Had the mother been watching bus or train queues that morning, she likely would have hurried on unchallenged by those long-familiar views. People were in tandem, like links in a chain, knowing but never aware and many in a world joined only by private hand-held images. But those

she saw were ten-year-old children queuing for school. Something had happened. Almost overnight the world had snatched her daughter and begun grooming her for an unknown time where she would have little influence. But circumstances and unfolding events not long after changed all that. Hugging her daughter, wiping away her tears, the mother read again the text messages on her daughter’s mobile phone. Words like ‘sl*g’ and ‘little sl*t’ jumped out at her. Who could do such a thing? What child was capable of sending such hurt? This was the frightening side to a new-age toy that not only had the ability to extend her daughter’s world of friends, but also the power to deliver unimaginable cruelty. The mother nursed her daughter’s phone in her hands. It felt innocent; a composite of images and abilities, assurances and fun, just like her own mobile

phone. But had giving in to her young daughter’s needs been a mistake? Tatura’s Sacred Heart School are very cautious about the use of all technologies and actively promote healthy, positive digital citizenship for all its students. It prohibits the use of phones and other electronic devices for recreational purposes at all times during school hours. Principal, Trish Miller added, “At Sacred Heart we are extremely keen to ensure that our students are safe, responsible users of today’s technology and who understand and respect the correct protocols for communicating with others using digital devices. “We also encourage parents to be active partners in this process of promoting the positive use of all electronic devices and that every student understands that teachers and parents will monitor the history of their communications on a regular basis,” she said.

LADY MONDEGREEN My first Lady Mondegreen moment was in 1946 when I started school at Echuca State School 208. On Monday mornings the whole school assembled to salute the flag, sing God Save the King and swear the following oath I love God and my country I honour the flag
"He He He, Ha Ha Ha" A little girl had just finished her first week of school. “I’m just wasting my time,” she said to her mother. “I can’t read, I can’t write, and they won’t let me talk!”
I will serve the King And chiefly obey my parents, teachers and the law. I thought this was a very reasonable thing. One did not have to be good all the time, just chiefly. Years later I discovered the word was cheerfully. At about the same age when we visited my mother’s family in Melbourne one of the landmarks on the tram route to Thornbury was the Iron Ear Hospital. I thought this must have been set up to replace ears which had been blown off soldiers during the war. I spent a lot of the tram trip staring at men passengers to see if they had iron ears hidden under their hats, which most men wore in those days. It was a marvel to me that the terrifying Germans has been such accurate shots that they managed to blow off only the ears of the soldiers without messing up the rest of their faces. It was also very disappointing to me that Uncle Ginger had returned home without having his ears shot off and replaced by iron ones. It was only after a concerted staring session that I was reprimanded for bad manners and the whole situation was made clear. I still pass the Eye & Ear Hospital and think of those iron ears. The last Lady Mondegreen episode I can recall is having to explain to a friend that it is not `Killing me softly with his thong’! Pam Wells

TATURA ROTARY ART SHOW 2014
This year’s 8th Rotary Community Art Show held over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend was again a resounding success. Of the 455 art works on display from 103 artists, 67 art works were sold. The show started on Friday with 48 nursing home residents treated to a tour of the show with light meals provided. The formal opening on Friday night was well attended with 300 people savouring hot savouries and wine whilst listening to a voluntary special guest performance by Australian Opera tenor Michael Lapina & Melbourne Opera’s Yasmin
ANGLICAN GUILD NEWS Our monthly meeting held on April 9 with 10 members attending and three apologies. Lois and Leo are back from their autumn break at Bright with the beautiful weather and autumn colour, and really enjoyed their break. The Turaton Music Co concert on May 18 was a lovely afternoon of entertainment with the Guild ladies organising the afternoon tea with the help of the Parish. We have decided to compile an album to bring all the old photos connected to All Saints Anglican Church together. The album was kindly donated by Barbara Halliwell. Guild ladies are asking for any old and recent photos to be brought along, and given to Phyll Bramley for us to start it off. We plan to make it an album full of memories and laughs. Member Marg Davies has celebrated yet another birthday. Well done Margaret! The Tatura Art Show was enjoyed by the Guild members. Some of our members will be modelling for the Guides Fashion Parade to be held on July 10 at our hall at 1.30pm.

Sue O’Kane of Barooga won The Peoples Prize for the most popular entry and second prize went to Tatura artist Sharron Handley. The profit for art show will be approximately $14,000 which will be distributed by Rotary to the local and wider community and the club wishes to sincerely thank all community volunteers, whose help was integral to the art show’s success.

JULY GARDEN PLAN Most deciduous fruit trees have dropped their leaves so they can be pruned now. Just as important is to follow up with a Copper or Lime Sulpher spray to help control rot and fungus diseases. Stone fruit trees also need to be sprayed to avoid Leaf Curl at pink bud stage. Some good products to use would be Kocide Blue Xtra, Yates Liquid Copper or Amgrow Lime Sulpher. This month is a good time to think about pruning your Roses, however the weather has been fairly mild and some roses are still pushing out lots of flowers. Some people may delay until next month with certain types of roses but in general now is the right time. When tackling roses bear the following in mind: Cuts should be no more than 5mm (¼ in) above a bud and should slope away from it, so that water does not collect on the bud. This applies to all cuts, whether removing dead wood, deadheading or annual pruning. Cut to an outward-facing bud to encourage an open-centred shape. With roses of spreading habit prune some stems to inward-facing buds to encourage more upright growth. Cut to the appropriate height; if a dormant bud is not visible. Cuts must be clean, so keep your secateurs sharp. For larger stems, use loppers or a pruning saw. Prune dieback to healthy white pith Cut out dead and diseased stems and spindly and crossing stems. Aim for well-spaced stems that allow free air flow. For established roses, cut out poorly flowering old wood and saw away old stubs that have failed to produce new shoots.
With the exception of climbing roses, prune all newly planted roses hard to encourage vigorous shoots. Trace suckers back to the roots from which they grow and pull them away. Don’t forget to keep your vegie patch maintained with weeding and fertilising. There are several great fertilisers to use such as Blood and Bone, Dynamic Lifter or Powerfeed for Vegies. Aquasol is a very good liquid fertiliser to use. To avoid frost damage on your plants gently hose them in the mornings with water. Another handy tip is to water them regularly with Seasol. Foliar. applications of Seasol is one of the best tools at your disposal to prevent damage from frost. Apply to the point of runoff over all the leaves. A pressure sprayer dedicated to Seasol only, is a cheap investment and makes application very easy and cost effective. What to plant now: Broadbeans, Silverbeet, Spinach, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Spring Onions, Leek, Brown Onions, Spanish Onions, White Onions, Celery, Peas, Snow Peas, Kale, Dianthus, Viola, Stock, Polyanthus, Primula, Pansy, Snapdragon, Delphiniums, Alyssum, Poppies, Wallflower, Foxglove, Statice, Primrose, Winter Colour in your garden? Look at the beautiful plant called Erica. Such gorgeous colours and forms for any sunny spot in the garden. This plant requires free draining soils

PETER’S PONDERINGS I had the joy of cycling from Tallarook to Yea on the Rail Trail one sunny but rather chilly morning early in June. Apart from the several times when I needed to muster my energy to defeat the incline ahead of me, the journey gave me plenty of time to ponder as I travelled through this glorious part of the Goulburn Valley. Once again my thoughts were drawn back to my recent time in the Solomon Islands, encouraging and being encouraged by friends in a couple of school communities there. Here I was cycling on a recreational track of a quality that surpassed the main roads in Honiara, signposted in abundance and with safe road and river crossings at every point of need. At more than adequate intervals along the trail were toilets, even equipped for people with disabilities that exceeded anything I found available during my time in the Solomons. Along the edge of the trail were Telstra markers indicating that a fibreoptic cable was laid there which surely meant that I could expect high speed internet was not only available in Tallarook and Yea but to the many isolated homes in between –internet access is not possible in the Solomons apart from certain places in a couple of major towns. And so my ponderings continued as I passed a very substantial old brick school building that had been replaced by even better school buildings and …… so it goes on. I have returned from the Solomons with a heightened awareness that we Australians generally live in abundance and that I must find a way to channel more of what we have to further encourage the many needy schools in the Solomon Islands. While I know there are plenty of worthy causes and repeatedly the people of this community show themselves to be so generous, stay tuned in case you can assist in getting some extra educational resources into the Solomons! As I enjoyed a cuppa at one of the many lovely cafes in Yea, further experiencing the abundance of our culture and our quest for more, I was reminded of the good teacher Jesus who said, “What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself?” He also said, “if you give up your life for me and for the good news, you will save it.”
