MURCHISON PRIMARY SCHOOL What a busy time it’s been at Murchison Primary! Students in Grades 5 and 6 have been working hard to be ready for their first live performance in front of a large audience at Mooroopna’s Westside centre. Students have been practising hard both at school and at home in order to be prepared.

From all reports, they did a magnificent job and are glad to have their first performance under their belts.

We wrapped up Term 1 with the reintroduction of the Easter Hat Parade.

So many students took part in the event, spending time at home working on very creative Easter themed hats! It was marvellous to see younger siblings and teachers also jump on board – everyone that took part did get an egg for participation, reason enough to join in!

After a well-deserved holiday, students arrived back ready to take part in the school’s traditional ANZAC day celebration. The schools ‘Lone Pine’ was once again the location of the service, which was run by the Grade 6 students. Thanks to those parents and community members that joined us to remember. A special thanks also to the members of the RSL that joined us and spoke to the students.

Enjoying a Well Deserved Lunch

Rock Hopping Walkers

MIDWEEK WALK – SEVEN CREEKS GORGE Seven mid-week walkers met Justus and Paul at Euroa full of anticipation for yet another of Justus’ adventurous walks in the Strathbogies. After organising the car shuffle, the group headed for Polly McQuinns. After a warming coffee in the crisp autumn air we set off to follow Seven Creeks downstream for approximately nine kilometres to Gorram Falls.

This really was a very special walk. With low water levels in the creek we were able to walk along the stream bed and experience the grandeur of the boulder strewn gorge with its steep rock faces and heavily vegetated riparian zone. The scenery was quite spectacular with many rock pools, several waterfalls, although not much water, braided streams, exposed rock platforms, and the odd small sandy bar. There was a great deal of rock scrambling, climbing through, over or under fences, and rock hopping across the creek as we zigzagged downstream.

We found the perfect lunch spot and perched beside Seven Creeks Falls, overlooking the gorge below. The native wildlife were our only

companions. We saw several huge kangaroos, disturbed a couple of wallabies, made acquaintance with two black snakes (one more closely than we liked), spotted several lizards as they sun baked on the hot rocks, had glimpses of a fox and a water animal that we liked to think was a platypus and observed at least twelve different bird species.

We arrived back at the car by 3.30pm and while the drivers did the car shuffle, the rest of us completed the last 800m to the lower car park below Gorram Falls.

The coffee stop at Euroa was much appreciated and we arrived back in Shepparton tired, but very grateful to be able to experience such a walk in such perfect weather.

As always Justus once again delivered. We thank him for leading us on yet another great walk and look forward to the next Justus Strathbogie walk in the spring.

Sara and Leeane

SARA – FINANCIAL WELLBEING FOR WOMEN The Tatura Community House is embarking on delivering a wonderful program to help women of all backgrounds, ages and financial situations to learn more about managing their finances and gain more control.

Following the Royal Commission into Family Violence the Victorian government has committed to support the financial wellbeing of all Victorian women.

Many of us experience change throughout our lives, circumstances that may impact our financial situation. Teaching young women the skills and knowledge about our financial systems early can help set them up to live independently and reach their goals. Equally, other women may have to re think and re skill due to changes in health, employment, relationships or living arrangements in order to regain or build financial and personal control.

EXCLUSIVE AGENTS FOR

The Sara program will be facilitated by Leeane Button, who has undergone special training and has a Certificate II in Financial Services. Ms Button said, “There are such a variety of experiences, values and feelings around money. The women in our groups are not required to divulge their personal finances, instead they will be supported to learn skills and gain confidence to build financial resilience.”

This is a Learn Local funded course, running over eight, 4-hour sessions and costs just $5 for the whole program. Any women over 18 are welcome. One course will be running on Fridays 9:30-1:30 and another will be run possibly in the evening or on weekends depending on demand. To book in or to arrange a confidential chat please ring the Tatura Community House on 0358 241 315 and ask for Leeane.

Boomerang Travel Centre has joined forces with TripADeal to bring you bucket list adventures at unbelievable prices!

Life membership was awarded to Freda Clement and Paul Hussey. The directors met following the Annual General Meeting with the following results as office bearers - Rod Kirby has again taken on the role as chairman, John Crilly is administration director and Derik Miller is for the second year the financial administrator. Bar Manager is Jason Carter, Catering Jason Carter and Surrounds Manager Brendan Sharp.

TATURA FIRE BRIGADE 1944 - 1969 The Golden Years

The Friendly Pharmacy Staff

LOWER PRICES AT TATURA PHARMACY Our local Tatura pharmacy have significantly reduced their prices across the store, especially their prescription prices and vitamins. They also have a large range of services, some of which most people are not even aware. I had never heard of compounding pharmaceutical preparations, which is where they custom make a wide variety of API's (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) into various dosage forms to provide individualized solutions to patients.

It is good to know our pharmacists realize that one size does not fit all and their clinical pharmacy services include meds checks. They give free blood pressure monitoring and free local delivery.

They also offer diabetic services and a large range of vitamins. Webster packing prevents the possibility of a mistake when taking medications and therefore is of great benefit to many. Dry Cleaning services prevents one having to travel to both deliver and pick up their dry cleaning.

The whole pharmacy is stocked with a terrific variety of goods, including first aid supplies, independent living aids and a large range of fragrances, cosmetics and gifts. Don't overlook the Napoleon and Elizabeth Arden range.

With all of this, as well as friendly and helpful staff, there really is no need to travel out of Tatura for your needs. Shop locally!

BRIAN BEARD PLUMBING

1944 marks 50 years for the Tatura Fire Brigade and to celebrate, a Golden Jubilee Social Evening is held. The Fire Brigade Hall is utilised to host the event and over the years the Fire Brigade Hall becomes a social hub in Tatura, being used on many occasions to host dances, balls and other events.

By 1945 the C.F.A (Country Fire Authority) assumed responsibility for the property and resources of the Tatura Fire Brigade in association with its elected officers. This administrative change was throughout Victoria.

We soon start to see members join that are still involved in the Brigade to this day. In January of 1960 we see our longest serving member officially elected to active service in the Tatura Bridge. Geoff Wright is held in high regard throughout the Fire Services and the wider community and can still be found very active at our station on a regular occasion.

The first meeting of The Tatura Fire Brigade Ladies Auxiliary was held in the Brigade Hall on Friday, June 11 1965. It’s obvious from their annual reports that much effort was directed towards fund raising. Reading these reports also reveals the character and enthusiasm these women bring to their organisation. This enthusiasm is still present to this day with active fundraising still taking place. I hear their tomato sauce is very much sort after and you may have got yourself a bottle at our recent garage sale.

The Tatura Fire Brigade would like to thank the Tatura community and the Tatura Fire Brigade Ladies Auxiliary for their support of our garage sale. When we took part in this year’s Monster Garage Sale we were very successful in clearing many parts of our history that were no longer required. Whether you popped down for a bargain or just for a chat your support was much appreciated. If you have ever wondered what else you can offer our Brigade then feel free to drop by and have a chat any Monday night from 7.30pm onwards or contact Captain Trevor on 0430014400.

MYSTERY PHOTOGRAPHS OF MURCHISON PRIMARY SCHOOL We have several photographs of Murchison Primary School taken in the early 1900’s in our collection at the Heritage Centre but we know little detail of when they were taken and the exact occasion. One had ‘school concert’ on the back so all are likely taken at the annual school concert and was the reason for these children to be so dressed up! They are definitely Murchison Primary School which was opened in 1906, so they are taken after that date.

The photo with the pram in the middle was recently sent to us from Mr. Alexander Smith.

He does not have much detail about this photo either so we are hoping someone seeing these photographs may be able to enlighten us. The names associated with Alexander Smith’s family are: Powell, Chalker and McBean.

COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY GRANT ROUND TWO Council considered the applications to the Community Sustainability Grants Round Two at the recent April Ordinary Council Meeting. The Sustainability Grants are designed to support the development and implementation of sustainable projects and events in line with the Environmental Sustainability Strategy. Grants were available for up to $2,000 per application.

The intention of the funding is to facilitate projects which achieve some or all of the following objectives: Encourage and support businesses, industry and the general community to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, increase the energy efficiency of existing and new residential and commercial buildings across the municipality, raise community awareness of the relevance of climate change, the impacts it will have on our environment and way of life, and the opportunities it will present, encourage participation in sustainability activities and events, enable community members to acquire or develop new skills in relation to sustainability, increase recycling at public events or community spaces, divert waste from landfill, increase community awareness on waste minimisation and correct waste disposal, enable community members to acquire or develop new skills in relation to sustainability.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, was pleased to offer these funding opportunities. “These projects will be a worthy investment into the community and assist in raising awareness about sustainability and climate change,” she said. “Council thanks the organisations who applied for funding and congratulates the worthy recipients.”

Transition Tatura received $2,000 for their project ‘Communities Shaping the Future: The Power of Youth.’ Transition Tatura will focus their 2019 program on the visions and goals that children and young people have for the future. This year’s activities will culminate in the annual film festival, which will focus on The Power of Youth.

Jayne French

GOODBYE JAYNE There was a farewell afternoon tea for Jayne French, the Director of Nursing/Manager, as she has left our Tatura Hospital to take up a new position with GV Health as Quality and Safety Coordinator of Community and External Campuses. The gathering was attended by many staff and locals who used the opportunity to say goodbye to this lovely woman.

A representative from GV Health spoke about Jayne's past and her many good qualities, explaining the new position will make great use of her talents. Jayne has been very dedicated to her work, well organized and did an excellent job setting up aged care quality and passing through many accreditations.

Jayne grew up in Tatura and met her husband Greg at a very young age and they have three daughters. Jayne did her nursing training at the Tatura Hospital and among other things spoke of how its operating theatre was originally run by local GPs and about the time it was moved to Mooroopna for a year when Parkvilla was rebuilt. She also spoke about having a many wonderful times at Tatura and that it will always be very special to her. She mentioned more than once that it is a fantastic facility that has an amazing group of staff. Over the years she has had massive support from her staff and feels she has become part of their families. The staff certainly have stayed a long time under her leadership. Though looking forward to her new role, she is sad to be leaving and pleased that her new position will enable her to still have dealings with Tatura. She said the hospital has been a lovely place to work and told the staff to keep doing what you do so well.

TOOLAMBA BRIDGE REFURBISHMENT Greater Shepparton City Council is set to undertake structural upgrades on the more than 100-year-old Toolamba Bridge after awarding a $1.6m contract to DC Projects Pty Ltd at the April Ordinary Council Meeting.

Council was successful in its application under the State Government’s Fixing Country Roads grant and received $930,000 under this program through Regional Roads Victoria towards the $1.6m cost of repairs and upgrades.

Council Director Infrastructure Phil Hoare said the funding will enable improvements to the structural integrity of bridge to ensure it provides safe passage for traffic until the structure is ultimately replaced at the end of its life.

“We are pleased to have successfully engaged a specialist contractor to undertake these structural improvement works that will ensure the structural integrity of the bridge and safety for those using the structure.

The works will enable the current 2T load limit to be raised which will benefit many in our community,” he said. “Ultimately we want to see a new bridge in place and Council will be working to undertake community consultation and design works along with seeking funding assistance to achieve this outcome. We believe the ultimate replacement of the bridge will be required within the next 10 years or so. Council engaged experienced bridge engineers investigate, design and specify the required structural upgrades to increase the bridge strength to allow a 10-tonne load limit. Works will take approximately 18 weeks and during this time the bridge will be closed to ensure the safety of road users and the contractor’s staff. Works are scheduled to commence in May and continue through to September however more accurate information will be provided when the contractor has confirmed the works program. We will be providing specific updates to the Toolamba community and to the broader community via our website.”

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, said Council was pleased to award the tender to DC Projects. The company is a specialist bridge contractor and recently upgraded Locky’s Bridge at Kialla. “DC Projects achieved the highest score as determined by strict selection criteria,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “The company has demonstrated a good track record in recent years delivering bridge upgrade works for VicRoads, Murrindindi Shire, Macedon Ranges Shire, Horsham Rural City Council and Strathbogie Shire. DC Projects also has plenty of experience in working on and around waterways which will be crucial in these refurbishments.”

The works are consistent with the strategic objective in the Council Plan 2017-2021, to provide and support appealing relevant infrastructure that makes Greater Shepparton an attractive, liveable regional city.

The Men’s Shed Team with Damian Drum

MEN IN THE ‘NEW KITCHEN’ Tatura Men's Shed invited Damian Drum, local Federal Member, to our Tuesday Lunch as a way of thanking the Federal Government for the $10 000 we received for the Stronger Communities Program. Damian was amazed at the unique Spanish paella that Richard Russell and his team prepared.

The newly purchased stainless steel work bench \ under bench cupboards, energy efficient induction cooktop, commercial oven and fridge freezer replaced the old donated equipment that had seen their day!

Every Tuesday more than thirty men sit down to a hearty, healthy lunch prepared by eager members. Visitors have noticed the buzz and relaxed atmosphere that this unique Men's Shed activity generates. A powerful promoter of social cohesion.

After lunch Damian presented Gary Hopcraft with an acceptance letter for the Volunteers Grant that he applied for late last year. This Grant will enable a group of members to complete a Food Safety Course, purchase more kitchen equipment and importantly, allow for members to be involved in a cooking program, providing them a greater sense of achievement and self-esteem-and maybe more help in their home!

Who's out there to teach some old blokes cooking at the Shed?

Men's Shed Partners and Friends can look forward to a special Traditional Christmas Lunch in 2019 brought on by greater diversity of cooking skills Tatura Men's Shed invites any men to join club that supports our community in many ways.

Now thata me and Giuseppe isa naturalized we thinka maybe we shoulda see de sporta all a de Australians watch. So we gosa to de Centenary Park to watcha de foota de ball cosa dere isa no cricket.

When we isa alla made into sardines we look arounda da ground and see the bigga banners helda upa high with a “Bulldogs are Best” anda “We love you Tigers” written on them. We isa very happy thata Australians lika da animals so much.

Da match isa played by da fellas thata comesa running onto da ground wearing the ski jumpers.

Also comes onto the ground de fella wot ownsa de ball with a hisa four bodyguards. He wearsa nearly alla white excepts hisa socks whicha black and a shows that he isa not racially prejudiced.

He isa calleda many things by da sardines, but mostly he isa calleda YAMUG! Two guys calleda capitans go offa with YAMUG and have a game of two up. They coma back to the centra and pointa their arms in directions opposite. De mobs wearing de ski jumpers getta confused and wanda alla over de place.

Somebody musta hava upset YAMUG because he gets mad anda throwsa de ball onto the ground, anda de mobs in ski jumpers try to get it. YAMUG chases them until onea of the mobs catches the ball for him. YAMUG is so happy he blowsa da whistle. But de fella thata catches de ball is only teasing YAMUG and isa bit nasty cosa he kicks de ball ata one of YAMUG’S bodyguards.

TATURA AREA BULLETIN, May 2019 - Page 13

MOTHER'S DAY Mothers' Day has long been part of the Australian calendar but actually grew out of calls for peace and anti-war campaigns following the American Civil War (1861-65). Around 1870, American writer and women's rights activist Julia Ward Howe appealed to women to unite and bring peace throughout the world (later known as the Mother's Day Proclamation). She proposed that a mother's day for peace be commemorated every year in June, which continued to be held for about ten years under her sponsorship, but died out after that. In 1907, West Virginia woman Anna Marie Jarvis held a church service that attracted over 400 children and their mothers to honour the legacy of her mother, Ann Jeeves Jarvis, who had been a peace activist, nursing wounded soldiers during the Civil War and created mother's day work clubs to address public health issues. Anna wanted to continue her mother's work and pushed to have a day set aside to honour all mothers. Her campaign paid off in 1914 when US president Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday in May to be Mother's Day. It was during the 1920s that Mother's Day became commercialized in the United States, with card companies like Hallmark and florists, marketing gifts. Anna Jarvis was outraged and spent the rest of her life campaigning against the commercialisation, dying penniless and in a state of dementia in a sanatorium in 1948. A Mother's Day International Association was founded in 1912 to promote the holiday in other countries and Mother's Day has grown increasingly popular since then.

It is believed that it was not until 1924, following the losses of World War 1, that Mother's Day was first held in Australia. Sydney woman, Janet Heyden, started the tradition here after becoming concerned for the lonely, forgotten aged mothers at Newington State Hospital where she regularly visited a friend and successfully campaigned for local schools and businesses to donate gifts to the ladies.

While Mother's Day initially began to promote peace and support women, over the years it has become an occasion for family reunions in Australia.

Some mums here may be given cards, flowers and gifts, while others may enjoy breakfast in bed or a lunch out. It's no longer linked to a particular set of values and a particular view of the role of women but has a kind of universal and cross-cultural appeal to all ethnic groups in Australia.

As a side note, Father's Day was basically made up to balance Mother's Day. As Mother's Day was designed to give women greater moral authority and recognition, men's authority at that stage was unchallenged, so Father's Day was really a counter to Mother's Day and to some extent a commercial decision.

Regardless of these facts, like many others, I just like to use the two days to make an extra special effort to let my Mum and Dad know just how important they are to me.

AWARD WINNING 13TH ANNUAL ART SHOW

Rhonda Willoughby The award winning, Tatura Rotary and Community Art Show is on again this year at Victory Hall, Hogan St Tatura. Our 2018 Show was the best ever, with more artwork sold than any previous year. The patrons and artists gave great feedback: quality art, classy show, welcoming atmosphere and wonderful cafe.

Being held over the long weekend in June, Friday 7 to Monday 10, with the opening night Gala on Friday night June 7, doors will open at 7pm.

We are honoured to have Mr. Michael Lapina, from the Australian Opera perform with his guests on opening night. Victory Hall will again resonate with their sophisticated voices sharing popular songs from recent operas

and musicals. The audience will also be treated to delicious home-made canapes whilst listening to the music and critiquing the artwork for sale.

Our feature artist this year scores highly in the People’s Choice Award from one show to the next. Her work is always beautifully framed and sells well. There's a good chance you'll recognise the location of a Rhonda Willoughby painting, or at least have the feeling you've been there. Her ability to faithfully represent the true depth, light, texture even temperature of a scene makes it easy to place yourself there, almost like a memory.

The interesting thing is, while in recent years Rhonda has been commissioned to recreate particular locations for a client, most of her landscapes come exclusively from her imagination. A completely original composite of her own travels and experiences that still feels familiar to many. Drawing on the environment that was her home for so many years, her initial focus was on rural bush landscapes using oils. Over the years as her confidence grew, Rhonda's art now reflects the diverse images of Australia, and includes water colours. Rhonda has captured her realistic perspective of cityscapes, the outback, through the Blue Mountains out to the seaside.

Having lived on the banks of the Murray for nearly forty years, Rhonda has enjoyed depicting the varying light and mood of the river at different times of the day. This is reflected in her painting entitled "Peace and Tranquility " that she has kindly donated for our raffle prize. Her artist's eye and affinity with the land has allowed Rhonda to observe closely and be aware of nuances in light and shade. As she says, " Nature is not a perfect composition and the lighting effects have been transposed from my memory into paint."

Aside from the delightful Opening Night entertainment, the Tatura Uniting Church Tongan choir will also perform during the weekend.

Their melodious voices will provide a welcoming atmosphere for those partaking of a Devonshire tea and coffee. A tasty, light lunch is again available from Saturday through to Monday. The voluntary effort by Rotary members, family and friends is what creates this unique event.

With their ongoing support of the arts in our region, proceeds from this show are then channeled back into the local community.

Crime PREVENTION With Glenn Gibson, Crime Prevention Officer

The Tatura Safeplate day was a success on May 4. I joined Neighbourhood Watch and Tatura Lions volunteers in Hogan Street and almost fifty vehicles had their vehicle numberplates secured from theft with security screws.

If you missed the day you can pop across to Mooroopna behind Woolworths on Saturday, July 13 for another opportunity. Keep an eye on our Facebook Page for details; Eyewatch Greater Shepparton Police.

I am often asked for my security tips for around the home. A lot of my suggestions are low or even no cost actions. Anything you can do to make your home less attractive to a criminal – less of a target – improves your security.

So, for this edition of the Tatura Bulletin I have provided my Top 10 Security Tips for home.

1. Your home is your castle and your front door is the draw bridge. Control access through a quality security door. Also have it snibbed when you initially greet visitors.

2. Deadlocks. Good quality and develop security habits with their use, and don’t forget the windows.

3. Install motion sensor LED security lights at all house entry points.

4. Control the garden plants; ensure you have a clear line of sight from the street to all accessible windows and doors. It is called natural surveillance.

5. If you live alone consider a personal duress alarm. They actually increase independence as we get older.

6. Do not hide the spare keys. Find a better way.

7. Minimise cash and valuables at home. A bolted fire/flood proof safe is a good option for what you do need to keep as well as important documents and passwords.

8. Sheds have locks as well!

9. Protect access to your roof, especially if tiled. Ensure ladders are locked in shed and climbing points are minimised.

10. Finally ensure your house number is visible from the street. If emergency services are required, we need to find you quickly.

Oh… did I mention that a lock is not much good if you do not use it?

BOOK LAUNCH AT THORNEBRIDGE

Thornebridge

r e w o on L Now cripti s es e r P Pric

151 Hogan Street, Tatura, 3616 Ph. (03) 5824 1043

A delightful afternoon was spent in the rear courtyard of Thornebridge, under the pergola covered in Virginia Creeper bearing red autumn foliage, for the launch of the new book, ‘Thornebridge the Bridge Hotel at Murchison’.

Author Jennifer O’Donnell outlined the contents of the book highlighting many notable events.

The hotel by the bridge at Murchison has a long and interesting history. Henry Thorne arrived in Murchison is 1863 and soon realised that providing for the needs of travellers and locals would nett more income than joining the gold rush that was bringing large numbers of people to the area. He firstly ran the Commercial Hotel and a General Store in Stevenson Street and was also the licensee for the punt on the Goulburn River opposite his businesses.

Just prior to the opening of the first bridge across the river in 1971, Henry purchased land close to the northern approach to the new wooden bridge.

By 1872 he started to build Thorne’s Bridge Hotel, a rather plain two-storey brick building which included a general store and stables. He also developed an orchard in the grounds.

Edward John Gregory, known as E.J. who was a very prominent citizen of Murchison and achieved many improvements for the town, was the next owner. He added the attractive balcony with distinctive lace work, as well as a second story to the rear of the hotel and renamed it Gregory’s Bridge Hotel. The gardens and orchard were further developed and added to the attraction for hotel guests. The business thrived under his ownership and became known as the best hotel in the Goulburn Valley, patronised by commercial travellers, tourists and locals. The names of more than one Governor of Victoria as well as visitors from Europe, America and across Australia are recorded in the Visitors Book. After E.J.’s death in 1937, the hotel had a succession of owners and licensees.

Gerald Alexandratos purchased the hotel in 1971 and although stories of his plans for the hotel circulated, nothing eventuated. The building suffered neglect and abandonment and for 26 years was vandalised and anything removable, stolen. Understandably, interest in purchasing the derelict hotel when put up for sale in 1994 was negligible.

Tim Linton and Clare O’Reilly however, fell in love with what could only be described as ‘a renovator’s worst nightmare’ saw the potential and purchased the building. For more than two decades the couple have almost singlehandedly restored this notable Murchison icon, reflecting the period of late 1880’s throughout and it is again available for overnight accommodation.

Now known as Thornebridge the property is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and the prominent London Plane tree that shades the front of the building is also Heritage Listed.

The book ‘Thornebridge the Bridge Hotel at Murchison’ is available from the Murchison Heritage Centre, 4 Stevenson Street, Murchison.

The Heritage Centre is open Saturday mornings from 10 – 12.30pm. Size of the book is A4, consists of 62 pages, and the cost is $20 or $25 posted. Email murchison-historical-society@ hotmail.com to arrange mailing.

COUNCIL SPORTING GRANTS ROUND TWO The successful applications in round two of the Our Sporting Future Funding Program were approved at the April Ordinary Council Meeting. The program assists sporting clubs with the implementation of small to medium-sized infrastructure development projects.

The funding also assists with development programs for new and developing sporting organisations throughout Greater Shepparton.

Funding was available under three categories: 1. Majors – for projects on a $1 for $1 basis but not exceeding $30,000, 2. Minors – for projects on a $1 for $1 basis but not exceeding $15,000, 3. Sports Aid – funding between $500 and $5,000 (without matching contributions) for special sports projects.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said she was pleased Council can continue to support local sporting clubs and organisations. “We hope this financial support will allow sporting clubs and organisations in Greater Shepparton to prosper and continue to grow,” she said. “Our support in round two reaches right across Greater Shepparton from Tatura to Murchison and Katandra to Tallygaroopna.

Thank you to all clubs and organisations who submitted an application and congratulations to those who were successful.”

Applications for funding are assessed in two rounds annually, with the first round closing at the end of July each year and the second round closing in February each year.

Local clubs to benefit were the Tatura Lawn Tennis Club who received $9,130 for a facilities upgrade, and the Murchison-Toolamba Football Netball Club who received $12,650 for their Netball Family Friendly Focus project.

Probably most 97-year-olds would be tucked up in bed by 8.30pm, but not the engaging guest speaker at our Annual General Meeting, Mrs. Joan Baumber (nee Berwick). Joan is a most articulate and intelligent speaker, relating her very early years in Yea, and her schooling at Clarendon College Ballarat where she thrived. This set her up for a career as Senior Administrative Assistant to corporate managers in Melbourne for nearly twenty years. Her parents by this time had moved to ‘Courtney Park’, Murchison. A bit of successful matchmaking by Joan’s aunts brought her single life as a professional business-woman to a close when she married George Baumber. Joan put on the ‘wellies’ and soon learnt all about farming at Dhurringile. When widowed after nineteen years of marriage and with two young children still at school, Joan ran the farm very competently. Her involvement in the community as part of many and varied community organisations, usually on the executive, is a credit to Joan. Her love of music and talent at the keyboard, allowed her to contribute musically and she played the organ at Christ Church, Murchison for 50 years! It was a delight to listen to Joan’s story. Anne Finlay thanked Joan for sharing her interesting life with us and presented her with a parcel of local products.

Kay Ball presented her report during the formal part of the annual meeting and related some encouraging statistics. Since 2011, over 35,500 people have accessed our website. Visitors to Heritage Centre during 2018 numbered 553 and included eleven groups. Highlights of the year were the visit to Thomson’s Costume Collection in May, the launch of the children’s book, Sam’s Meteorite in October; Art Captured awarded Best Local History Book in the Victorian Community History Awards, co-hosting and catering for book launch of Noorilim: from wool to wine at Noorilim. Planning is progressing well for 50th anniversary celebrations of the fall of the Murchison meteorite to be held in September.

The executive committee elected for the coming year were president Kay Ball, vice-president, Warwick Gregory, treasurer Jeff Huddle, secretary Marg Lock and committee members, John Ball, Janet Clarke, Warwick Finlay and Gloria Polkinghorne.

A scrumptious supper followed the meeting.

DOING IT FOR DOLLY Friday 10 May was ‘Do It For Dolly Day’, a day which aims to raise support for Dolly’s Dream.

Dolly’s Dream was set up in memory of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, aged 14, who took her own life after an extended period of bullying and cyberbullying. Dolly left behind her parents Tick and Kate and her sister Meg, who are now focused on using the money that has been kindly donated by the community to help prevent other families from going through the same devastating experience.

Michelle and the team from Coffee+ raised over $1,600 for Dolly’s Dream by donating $1 from every cup of coffee sold, and all proceeds from the sale of slices and cupcakes on the Friday. They also ran several raffles with prizes donated by local businesses and individuals.

RODNEY CWA At our April meeting we celebrated our country of study, Iceland.

International Officer, Jan Perry, with help from members, organised a delicious meal of Icelandic good. We watched a video showing scenes of Iceland and sang a song, ‘The a - o of Iceland’. Thanks to Jan and team for a great night.

Five Rodney members attended the Associated Women of the World Triennial Conference at the Convention Centre in Melbourne where 600 delegates from 84 affiliated countries came together. Some of our Junior members were flag bearers at the Opening Ceremony.

A variety of interesting topics from speakers around the world informed us of issues facing women, especially in Third World Countries. Resolutions were discussed and passed. The Conference concluded with a Gala Dinner and entertainment and was a lot of fun!

From the Zoo to You

GOWRIE PARK PRE-SCHOOL The cooler weather certainly hasn’t slowed us down at Gowrie Park Pre-School. The autumn weather has brought with it some great new environmental experiences and it has been wonderful to see all the learning that can occur with the beautifully coloured leaves that have fallen in the kindergarten grounds.

We have continued to enjoy dramatic play, including camping, running the Gowrie Park ‘pet shop’ and pretending to be workers around the yard.

Our worm farm is going from strength to strength and our chickens, Girl Girl and Rocky, love the attention they get during each kinder session.

We have been working on some beautiful Mother’s Day gifts to let the important people in our lives know just how much we appreciate them.

We love having special visitors at kinder and recently, we were lucky enough to make some homemade pasta with one of our clever mums. Most children tried the pasta and some hungry little people ate two bowls full!

Students have also shown great skill in writing their own names in the new sign in area. Grown-ups still sign the students in, but the children take some ownership by signing themselves in as well. A great little task to show independence and developing writing skills.

We recently had a visit from Zoo to You, an interactive animal show where we got to see animals such as lizards, snakes, crocodiles and turtles. Some of us even got to pat and hold some of the animals. It was certainly not your average day at kinder!

We are participating in the Woolworths Earn and Learn promotion this year, so we would love any spare stickers that you get with your grocery shopping. These go towards new equipment and resources for our kinder and we would definitely be most appreciative of any help. Please contact Lynda on 58241602 for any further information, or just drop in.

UNDERSTANDING TAROT CARDS By John Kriesfeld First of all, let me tell you what Tarot cards aren’t. Tarot cards do not tell your fortune.

Over the years, Tarot cards have been used by many unscrupulous charlatans to fleece unsuspecting victims. These readers hint at vague possibilities which the imaginations of their victims then embroider over time so that they eventually believe that unrelated events that occur later were in fact predicted by the cards. Films and television shows have helped to foster this misconception by having a gypsy lady laying out a series of cards for our nervous hero or heroine. Inevitably, the Death card will appear. I’ve seen a film where four Death cards appeared even though there is only one in each pack. In fact, the Death card doesn’t mean somebody is about to die. I’ll tell you what it means later.

The origin of the Tarot is shrouded in mystery.

The cards were used in Italy in the fourteenth century as a popular card game called Tarocchi, and our current decks of cards are based on these cards. In the Tarot, there are four suits of cards counting from one to ten with each having four court cards. The only difference with our modern packs is that there are only three court cards. During the late fourteenth century, the Church of Rome attempted to quell those philosophies and theosophies it felt were growing in direct competition to it, and the Tarot was accused of divination and outlawed.

During the eighteenth century the cards were re-discovered by a number of influential scholars. Their studies connected the cards to Hermetic philosophy which originated with the ancient Egyptians, and the Kabbalah which is the name of the Jewish oral doctrine based on mystical interpretations of the scriptures.

Scholars continued to study the cards and in the early part of the twentieth century the Tarot was incorporated into several secret societies, including the Order of the Golden Dawn which was founded in England in 1888.

Unfortunately, an aura of darkness still clings to these cards with many religions banning their members from using them, calling them symbols of an unenlightened past.

So, what are Tarot cards? A standard deck has 78 cards, divided into two groups: 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards. The word ‘arcana’ means secrets. The major arcana denotes important life events or changes, while the minor arcana cards reflect day-to-day events. The minor arcana cards can be seen as being more detailed aspects of the major arcana cards.

The Rider-Waite set of cards is the most popular deck and was published in 1910 by the Rider company and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith who based her drawings on instruction from A.E. Waite who was a mystic.

How do Tarot cards work? The Tarot is based entirely on symbolism and each card can

convey several messages due to the richness of the images and their connections. The Tarot is a device for meditation, reflection, contemplation, problem analysis, brain storming, decision clarification, stimulation of intuition, self-understanding and spiritual growth. It is basically the study of our journey through life. The Tarot doesn’t always tell you what you want to know, it tells you what you need to know.

Tarot is a tool for empowerment and it allows you to see where you are weak and suggests areas where you can make improvements. It helps you to perceive what you are blind to, and by doing so, become more enlightened.

Tarot urges you to focus on the present above everything else as the future is contained in the energy of the present. The outcome projected in a reading is based on the energies and influences of the present and we can embrace or change them as we wish. Your actions and thoughts will determine the outcome and help you to become master of your own destiny.

The most effective readings are always based upon a question and to get a clear answer you need to ask a clear question. Vague questions will invariably elicit vague answers.

Sometimes a Tarot reading may reveal something we don’t want to hear as the truth can often be quite harsh.

The famous Swiss psychologist Carl Jung was a great believer in the power of the Tarot to unlock the dark side of our subconscious. I use his well-known quote on my Tarot business cards – “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” He believed that Tarot was an effective tool that could help us become aware of misleading or arbitrary beliefs in our life that were either holding us back or

causing concerns with our mental well-being.

He said that the human psyche is composed of three components. These were the ego which represented the conscious mind, the personal unconscious which contained our memories including suppressed memories or our personal shadow, and the collective unconscious which served as a form of psychological inheritance containing all of the knowledge and experiences that we share as a species.

A typical Tarot card layout will cover the past, the present, hidden influences in your life, your strengths, obstacles to be overcome, lessons you need to learn, and finally, the likely outcome of your question. Typical questions often relate to problems with work, family, romance, happiness, health and finance and the cards will suggest a strategy for dealing with those problems. The process always works better when the person asking the question interacts with the Tarot reader. If you’re expecting the Tarot reader to also be a mindreader then the chances are that you will have a poor and unsatisfactory reading.

And finally, the Death card and what it really means. This card indicates a time for change, for ridding ourselves of attitudes and situations that we have outgrown. It is through letting go that we are able to give birth to new forms. It tells us that a chapter in our lives is coming to an end and acceptance of this change will allow the transformation to occur naturally, which is nothing like what Hollywood would have us believe.

Tarot talks about our journey through life so I’ll finish with another quote from Carl Jung: “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

Tarot “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” – Carl Jung

WORLD EVENTS

in June

In America, this is both Fruit and Vegies Month and Candy Month. Only in America would they not see an issue with this. Perhaps that’s why toffee apples were invented.

June 1 – Say Something Nice Day. The purpose of this day is to counteract bullying and the lack of civility and common courtesy that is growing among people in today’s world.

Anonymous trolls on social media are to blame for much of this. You know you have a problem when you have to have a special day in order to say something nice.

June 2 – Dinosaur Day. This is nothing to do with the numerous old folk who can’t use a mobile phone or who drive at 75kph in the right-hand lane when everyone else is trying to do 100kph. No, this day is all about discovering our ancestral past and inspiring scientific curiosity in our young folk through the wonder of dinosaurs. The desire to become a palaeontologist has to start somewhere.

June 3 – Hug Your Cat Day. This day shows our appreciation for the unconditional love we get from all our pets. If you don’t have a cat of your own to hug then I recommend that you don’t attempt to hug your neighbour’s cat as it will probably end badly.

June 4 – Socrates Day – This is a day to think beyond the constraints of the physical world and enter that of the metaphysical. If you want to have a robust debate with another intelligent mind, then pose this question, “Does free will exist?” Do we just follow within the constraints of society, religion and culture or do we really make up our own minds?

June 5 – World Cancer Survivors Day. The day highlights the fact that life after a cancer diagnosis can be productive and fulfilling.

New breakthroughs are constantly being discovered and for many people, a cancer diagnosis is no longer a death sentence.

June 6 – Gardening Exercise Day. Most older folk understand the exercise benefits of an hour spent tending the garden. However, if you have anybody under the age of 21 living at home, then this is the ideal day to introduce them to their first gardening experience. However, please be aware that leaving their comfortable, electronic social world and stepping out into the real physical world of dirt, bugs and plants will be quite scary for them, so perhaps it may be best if they just a spend a few minutes at first, and gradually build up to a full hour.

Having a safe space to retreat to and a couple of trigger words will help reduce the shock and lessen the possibility of nightmares.

June 7 – International Yo-yo Day. We all know that what goes up must come down so yo-yos were invented by scientists to prove that the opposite is not always true.

June 8 – World Ocean Day. The purpose of this day is to spread awareness about the importance of the ocean in our lives. The ocean generates most of the oxygen we breathe, regulates the climate and feeds us and so its health is critical to our well-being.

Interestingly, only 10% of the ocean has been explored and scientists estimate that there are still approximately nine million species yet to be discovered in the ocean’s depths.

June 10 – Worldwide Knit in Public Day. This may surprise many people but knitting is not just for grannies, anybody can do it. Yes, even you. Don’t look around? I’m talking to you. Knitting is a relaxing, quiet pastime and unlike playing computer games, you have something worthwhile to show for it once you have finished. Why not get somebody, (probably your gran), to show you how to knit and then you can make yourself a scarf to keep you warm this winter. Red and black go well together.

June 12 – World Magic Day. Magic Day started with a Houdini Day, the first of which took place in the summer of 1927, less than one year after the famous magician’s death. His wife presented a trophy in honour of him on that day. As magic appears to be disappearing from our lives at an alarming rate, it is the responsibility of every adult to learn at least one simple magic or card trick with which to entertain our young children. With a little bit of practice, plucking a disappearing coin from a child’s ear isn’t that hard to do. Remember, every time someone disowns magic, a fairy dies. I know, it’s shocking but true.

June 14 – World Blood Donor Day. Why don’t you celebrate this occasion by dropping in at the Blood Bank? The life you save could be your own.

June 15 – Global Wind Day. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a date celebrated by cabbage enthusiasts or gasbag politicians.

It is a day for discovering wind, its powers and the possibilities to change the world. As most politicians are more interested in talking about changing the world than actually doing anything constructive, then perhaps it is for gasbag politicians after all.

June 16 – Fly A Kite Day. Associated with Global Wind Day, your best chance of flying a kite is near a political rally. Flying a kite is very relaxing and carefree, (unless you’re Charlie Brown). You’re never too old to fly a kite and it may bring back some wonderful childhood memories.

June 19 – International Sauntering Day. This day is all about taking it easy, relaxing and going for a stroll by yourself. It’s a chance to escape from the frantic rat-race and spend some

time getting to know yourself. You might find that you have a lot in common.

June 20 – World Refugee Day. The United Nations hosts this event to draw the public’s attention to the millions of refugees who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution. Apparently watching it on the news each night is not sufficient.

June 21 – World Handshake Day. This day was thought up by Ivan Zupa who heard the following words from an old man, “My son, place your hand in the sea and you are united with the whole world.” As we live some distance from the sea, I recommend placing your hand in Lake Bartlett to experience the same effect. I also recommend that you wash your hand extremely well afterwards.

June 22 – World Music Day. Can you imagine a world without music? Music helps us relax, it can inspire us or tell a story. Even background music can be beneficial. So today, it’s your turn to make some music. Unless you’re mute then everyone has the capacity to sing, so sing out loud and proud. It doesn’t have to be good and the chances are it won’t be but you’ll find it’s good for your soul and will provide laughter for everyone else.

June 24 – International Swim a Lap Day. Studies have shown that swimming offers many health benefits. Because a swimmer uses all of his or her muscles while swimming, the activity is considered to be an excellent all-around workout. Not only does it burn substantial amounts of calories, it also increases heart activity and builds muscle strength. In addition, swimming can reduce stress and help people relax. When people ask how you’re doing, you can answer, “Swimmingly”.

June 26 – International Chocolate Pudding Day. The first puddings appeared during the early 17th century and were typically made with butter, flour, suet and cereals. We’ve come a long way since then and we now have a wide range of delicious puddings of which chocolate is easily the best. The good news is that absolutely anyone can make a chocolate pudding in only a minute if you have a microwave oven. The puddings in a mug are so easy even a mug like me can do it. Add some custard and you can call yourself a chef.

June 30 – International Meteor Day. The average meteor or meteoroid is about the size of a pebble. About 15,000 tonnes of meteoroids enter the Earth’s atmosphere every day but few of them actually reach the surface.

When they do, they are called meteorites. If you want to see a real meteorite up close then visit the Murchison museum.

TOOLAMBA ANZAC DAY REMEMBRANCE More than 160 people gathered at the Community Hall in Toolamba on Anzac Day to honour and remember our service men and women. The service was organised by the Lions Club of Toolamba and John Calleja acted as MC. Unfortunately, the guest speaker, Maurice Chard, was unable to be present, but Maurice’s account of his service in Korea was read by Mr Calleja.

Wreathes were laid by Suzanna Sheed MP, Toolamba Primary School students, Toolamba Wrens CWA and Toolamba Lions Club. The school captains read ‘A Tribute to ANZAC Day’ by Ken Bunker, before Des Good recited ‘The Ode’ and Bill Scott, from Shepparton Brass and Wind, played ‘The Last Post’. After everyone observed a minute’s silence, ‘The Rouse’ was played and the flags were raised from half-mast. Local primary school student, Isabel Flatman, then sang the New Zealand national anthem and the Toolamba Community Choir, accompanied by many of the children present, led the singing of the Australian national anthem. To close proceedings the Community Choir sang ‘Spirit of the Anzacs’.

Morning tea was provided by the Lions Club and everyone enjoyed the chance to catch up with friends and neighbours.

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?

by Ma Merle

What a week, what an absolutely dreadful week. These people are driving me crazy and I wish they would simply leave me alone. It all began when Agnes rolled up here on Tuesday with her old pair of runners and told me that as she didn’t need them anymore, and that I could keep them for when I decide to start walking, although why she thinks my dainty feet would fit into her old shoes I’ll never know.

As she handed over her old runners she said.

“Merle, I just want you to feel some of the benefits I have with this new exercise regime.

It is really helping me, and as your friend, I just want you to be fit as well.”

“My goodness you can be a nag sometimes Agnes,” I managed to tell her when there was finally a break in her boring monologue about exercise. I decided that if I ever did decide to go for a walk it would simply be to shut her up although there was no way I was going to wear her old sweaty runners.

Then Wednesday rolled around and a lady I have known for many years came up to me at the supermarket and told me how much better she is feeling now that she is out walking. Apparently, all her stiff joints are feeling greatly improved. “Oh, leave me alone already,” I thought. “Is everyone conspiring against me?” I struggled to look even mildly interested as she spoke and quickly made the excuse that I had something in the oven I had to run home and check.

The doorbell rang Thursday afternoon and I opened the door to find Garry looking at me with that silly, huge smile of his and with his eyes looking all glassy. “Probably been drinking,” I thought to myself.

He said, “Hello Merle, you look lovely as

usual. I am just going off for a walk now but I wanted to know if you would like to come for a walk with me tomorrow morning while it’s nice and cool, before the sun gets too hot and the flies come out. Agnes said you don’t care much for either of those. So, I can come and get you around eight thirty if you like. What do you say?”

I wasn’t impressed by his enthusiasm and quickly said. “Eight-thirty, are you kidding me? Come at nine-thirty and I will go for a walk just to shut all of you up, for goodness sakes. The weather is cooler now so there won’t even be any flies.” I shook my head as I stared at him. “You fitness people are like a cult. Do you know that?”

“Okay lovely, it’s a date,” replied Mr Enthusiasm and he turned and almost skipped down the driveway, waving madly like a twelve-year-old and calling out, “See you tomorrow Merle. Cults do love to get new people on board.”

Why had I weakened, I wondered? Is this what happens in cults? Are people just ground down and no longer have the energy to fight them off anymore? What’s more, now I’d have to wear those silly shoes that Agnes gave me. Could things get any worse?

Friday morning arrived and sure to his word, Garry rolled up at nine-thirty on the dot.

“Ready love?” he asked while smiling broadly.

“Great morning for a walk, don’t you think?”

“No it isn’t,” I grumbled. “I have had no end of trouble putting on these silly shoes and muddling about with those stupid laces.

I am exhausted already. I think we should postpone this walk for another time. You go on by yourself.”

Garry smiled yet again. “They look fine Merle.

As long as you have them tied up properly you will be fine and they will help lessen the impact as you walk.”

“Humph, okay, sure,” I grunted stoically.

We set off at a very brisk pace I and as we got to the end of my street, which was only really five houses away, I was trying not to let Garry see me puffing. Oh, I really don’t like this business of walking I was thinking and decided to tell him that this will be a one-off only activity.

However, before I could speak, Garry pointed excitedly up into a tree and said “Oh, look a kookaburra. We might be going to get some rain soon. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

And this is where it all went horribly wrong. I looked up to see the jolly Kookaburra, which of course meant I was not watching where I was going and the next thing I know, I am lying on the ground moaning in agony. I don’t even know what happened.

Garry went white and asked stupid questions like, “What hurts? Is it your foot, ankle, knee?

What happened?” Then he immediately pulled out his mobile phone, searched for his glasses and phoned triple zero.

“Take your time,” I managed to squeeze out between moans. “No need to hurry. My leg is probably only broken.”

Garry continued to fumble around with his phone. “Sorry I am taking so long. I just can’t see the numbers without my glasses Merle, Oh dear, do hang in there love.”

After muttering away on the phone answering all sorts of questions, he finally turned to me and said the ambulance is on their way. Garry looked mortified as he well should, and knelt down to try and help me to sit up.

“Oh, I see your problem,” he said. “Your shoe laces aren’t done up properly love. It’s no wonder you tripped over them.”

“Tripped over!” I screamed at him. “If you hadn’t told me to look up at the stupid Kookaburra none of this would have happened.

If wasn’t lying here in agony I would give you a jolly good kick Garry.”

Garry smirked as though he found this amusing. “No, they really have come undone Merle, really they have, both of them. Maybe you didn’t do them up properly.”

“Well what on earth do I know about runners?”

I scolded him. “I can barely remember the last time I wore runners. You just wait until I get hold of Agnes. Fancy giving me faulty runners to wear. Maybe that’s why she didn’t want them anymore. I groaned again. “Oh, the pain, I am in dreadful pain Garry.”

I was thinking dreadful thoughts about Garry but when I looked up at him, I was surprised to see he had a tear in his eye.

Garry took hold of my hand. “I feel so bad about this Merle. I never wanted to see you suffer, I just wanted to spend some time with you. I really do enjoy your company. Oh, this is just terrible.”

I thought, “Well perhaps Garry does have my best interests at heart, but it sure looks like Agnes is trying to kill me.”

I finally heard the ambulance coming and decided to just lie quietly on the ground and think about ways of plotting my revenge. I began to feel quite faint as I glanced up at Garry and my last thoughts before I passed out were, why, why would my friends do this to me? Can someone please explain? Anyone?

WINTER FUN ZONE Greater Shepparton City Council in partnership with Shepparton Show Me, The Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Nando’s are excited to launch an all new winter holiday event, the Shepparton Winter Fun Zone.

Coming to the Maude Street Mall these school holidays, the Winter Fun Zone will bring winter to life with an ice rink in the middle of town and a program of fun, affordable and free activities.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Kim O’Keeffe said this was a great partnership to bring a range of activities to town. “Council is continuing to work with industry partners to bring new events to town which focus on families, arts, culture, music, liveability and food and the Winter Fun Zone will make a great new addition to the major events calendar for locals and visitors to enjoy,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “Thank you to our partners for assisting in preparing a packed program of activities for all to enjoy these school holidays.”

Along with an affordable ticketed ice rink, the Winter Fun Zone will include a free area of children’s activities which will be set up to further attract visitors to the CBD promoting Shepparton’s family friendly lifestyle.

“We anticipate up to 10,000 people will attend the activation including around 30 per cent from outside the region, further increasing the region’s visitor economy and destination brand,” Cr O’Keeffe said.

Shepparton Show Me Chair Shane Sali said this would be an exciting opportunity for businesses to engage with the community and visitors.

“We have a packed program of activities to occupy the entire two weeks of the school holidays, including arts and crafts, cultural activities, inflatable slides, face painting and more,” Mr Sali said. “This is an opportunity to highlight our thriving CBD, our great shops and restaurants to local families and visitors, we encourage businesses to get involved and promote special activities during the Winter Fun Zone.”

Acting President of the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry John Anderson said the Winter Fun Zone was an initiative to activate the CBD and grow spending in what is otherwise known as a quiet period for retailers.

“During the school holidays most families leave the region and we really want to show the locals they can enjoy themselves at home as well as encourage visitors travelling through to stay and enjoy the many great things Shepparton has to offer,” Mr Anderson said. This activation will help drive important stimulation for the region in traditionally the quietest part of the year helping support local jobs, keeping businesses busy and our economy strong.”

Owner and Franchisee of Nando’s Shepparton Anthony Trapani said holiday breaks were always times families come together. “The Winter Fun Zone initiative is a great opportunity for families to spend time together and share new memories in Shepparton,” Mr Trapani said.

“Shepparton is always growing and as a business it is important for us to provide top quality service for our customers and together with the supporting partners, we are all working hard to create a unique event experience to attract more visitors and support the local economy.”

TATURA

The Early Years - Legal Matters According to the Goulburn Advertiser, Constable O’Keefe was the first police officer at Tatura. He arrived in 1876 and took up quarters where the Shire Hall was later built. In June 1878, Constable Charles Johnston was recorded in the monthly muster roll of the Kilmore Police District as having been transferred from Graytown to be in charge of the station at Tatura. In the same month a tender was accepted for the removal of the Graytown Police station to Tatura, and in September the Goulburn Advertiser reported that the new contractor had finished his work and that “the new buildings are well situated and present a very pretty appearance.”

It was not long before the townspeople became disenchanted with their police station and in February 1885 the Tatura Herald commented: “The present barracks are a disgrace to the town, being hardly fit for pigs to live in, the house being dirty, draughty and in fact everything that is objectionable in a house.” New quarters were built in July.

In those days a horse was an essential part of a policeman’s equipment.

The police horses grazed in the police paddock and were housed in the police stables. The stables were located at the rear of the butter factory along with a well that supplied the horses with water. The 1885 weatherboard police station was sold to Mr J. Russell for removal in 1961.

A new lock-up was built in 1910, its predecessor being practically eaten away by white ants and in 1913 a new police station was planned, the department having been requested to provide a bathroom for the mounted officer. Within six months, however, the plans were scrapped and it was decided to make additions and renovations instead. In December 1913 the Guardian reported: “The new kitchen which is to be 20 x 18 will almost join hands with the present structure used for a lock-up. Chief Commissioner Sainsbury, when asked to erect a new station nearer the main street said with all seriousness, although nobody believed him, that the screaming of the prisoners would disturb the residents living opposite, and the community in general. In view of the close proximity of the new kitchen to the lock-up, the officer in charge and his family would certainly enjoy the music during meal times.”

In May 1914, however, a new brick and tile police station was erected next to the court house as a result of the stupendous efforts on Tatura’s behalf by the local member of parliament. It was replaced in 1955 by a yellow-brick office which was of a design typical of the period.

The court house dates from 1891. Before this, the Court of Petty Sessions was convened in the Mechanics’ Institute and other locations. In December 1880, the Tatura Herald recorded that “the first Tatura Court of Petty Sessions was held at the police station and presided over by Mr Sternberg, J.P. Only one unfortunate inebriate was brought up before the bench who was fined for his over-indulgence five shillings or 24 hours imprisonment. Whether he had finished his cheque or perhaps thought it would be a pity to pay into the public revenue the first fine imposed in Tatura, he selected to have his name recorded as the first culprit to undergo the penalty, and thus took it out at the public expense.”

Montague Somer called a public meeting in the Mechanics’ Institute in April 1886 to seek a court house for Tatura and a committee was appointed to wait on the Minister of Justice. The nature of cases heard in the temporary premises differ slightly from those of today. In July 1887 the Goulburn Advertiser noted: “Police v. James Robbins, Walter Fuller and Thomas Fuller. Each of these defendants was summoned for not having the names of the owners of the drays they were driving painted legibly thereon, and fine five shillings in each case.”

June GARDENING PLAN June brings us the start of winter, with colder, wetter weather, but there are still some sunny days to be had, winter vegies to harvest, and some tidying up to do around the garden. As deciduous trees and shrubs shed their leaves and become dormant, it’s a good time to both plant new ones and prune existing ones. Winter pruning of deciduous fruit trees and grape vines begins now. Harsh cold winds can be a problem, drying out plants very quickly, so it’s important to put up windbreaks such as plastic sleeve tree guards or shade-cloth around young evergreen trees to prevent wind burn. In frostprone areas, vulnerable plants will need to be protected. When frost is anticipated, cover the plant overnight with hessian, shade-cloth, plastic sheet, cardboard, straw or newspaper make sure that the cover is not airtight and that air can still circulate.

Things to Do This Month: • Plant deciduous trees, shrubs, vines and cane fruits (and roses!). Wait till spring for planting citrus.

• Divide existing perennials and plant new perennials.

• Gather and compost fallen leaves.

• Protect plants that are not frost-hardy in frost-prone areas.

• Install windbreaks, such as the plastic tree guard sleeves, around newly planted evergreens.

• Prune deciduous fruit trees (not apricots, best to prune these in late autumn when the leaves start yellowing, during dry, preferably windy weather to prevent diseases entering the pruning cuts). To prune fruit trees, first cut away any dead or diseased wood, then cut away any branches growing inwards towards the centre or crossing other branches (to prevent rubbing and bark damage), and finally, prune tree to shape using the appropriate technique for that species.

• Prune deciduous shrubs (rose pruning is done in July) and vines (such as kiwi fruit).

• Prune grape vines and take hardwood cuttings from these for propagation.

• Finish pruning currants and gooseberries and take hardwood cuttings from these for propagation.

• Prune tall shrubs to reduce height to better resist winter winds.

• Relocate any deciduous plants (trees, shrubs, vines) or herbaceous perennial plants growing in the wrong place in winter. (Evergreens can only be moved in autumn and early spring, where they have time to regrow roots – remember, they retain leaves in winter which transpire and lose water).

• Collect and sow seeds from berry producing trees and shrubs.

• Some perennials can be propagated from root cuttings, which can be taken through winter.

• Continue propagation of hardwood cuttings which began in autumn - prune off 30cm long shoots of current season’s growth, cut off the soft growing tip, cut off the bottom end below a bud, and dip end into rooting hormone. Make a ‘slit trench’ by pushing a spade into soil and rocking it back and forth. In clay soil, add some coarse sand for drainage. Put cuttings in so 2/3 is below the soil, and press the soil down around them. Cuttings will root and be ready to plant next autumn.

• Continue planting garlic, strawberry runners and shallot bulbs.

• Harvest parsnips, they will taste the better now that they have experienced some cold.

Keep in mind that bare root season is upon us for Deciduous trees and roses and this will be the most cost-effective way to plant out established sized trees.

What to Plant: Bellis, Gypsophila, Linaria, Pansy, Viola, Primula, Polyanthus, Stock, Statice, Dianthus, Delphinium. Wallflower, Asparagus, Broad beans, Cabbage, Brocolli, Spinach, Silver beet, Onions, Peas, Rhubarb, Shallots, Cauliflower, Mixed Lettuce.

MURCHISON BRICKS Do you have any old Murchison Bricks? If so, Jude Dealy and her sister Jilly would love to hear from you. Jude and Jilly are the daughters of Russell Blyth who used to run the brickworks at Murchison. Back in the 1940s, Murchison had brickworks on River Road, just south of where Avonlea Flowers is today. The property was owned by Claude Nealy and run by Russell Blyth with two partners only known as Gustav and Ernest. The brickworks folded due to a mysterious fire one night. Coincidently, Gustav and Ernest disappeared the same night.

Interviews with John

John Ryan

A BET IS A BET Fans of local football will probably be aware that we have a football celebrity living amongst us. John Ryan, or JR as he is known to avid followers of the Footy Show, appears each Thursday on the football show along with his side-kick Foxy. They are known, naturally enough, as Foxy and JR. They also team up over the week-end to commentate on local football matches. It should also be mentioned that JR gives up a great deal of his time to talk to men’s groups about prostate cancer which is a topic that JR is passionate about, seeing as he survived his own personal battle with the disease several years ago.

I was chatting to JR recently and he mentioned that he may have made a bet that could cost him dearly. Each year on the Footy Show JR makes a prediction for the coming season which is immediately seized upon by Foxy and turned into a bet. The problem with making a new bet each year is that each succeeding bet needs to be bigger and more outlandish than the one before otherwise it doesn’t have much of an impact.

I asked JR what the bet was about this year and he said that he predicted that Kyabram would go through the entire season undefeated, which I thought was a bold move as even the best teams have an off day, particularly in the middle of winter when the weather tends to negate skill levels. The penalty if he loses is that he has to have a tattoo on his chest. Our conversation from this point went as follows: JK (that’s me): What sort of tattoo are you going to have? Will it be ‘I love Foxy’ or something about Kyabram?

JR: No, it will be the names of my three grand-daughters. Each of their names starts with an M and as we’re also sponsored by Triple M, I thought it would be appropriate.

JK: Have you had a tattoo before?

JR: Not likely! I hate having needles.

JK: So, what do you get if you win the bet?

JR: If I win the bet I don’t have to get the tattoo.

JK: I understand that but what sort of penalty does Foxy have to undergo?

JR: (Laughs) There’s no penalty for him. He always wimps out whenever he loses so there’s no point giving him one.

JK: That doesn’t seem very fair. Seeing as you don’t enjoy having needles stuck in you, will you go through with the tattoo if you lose?

JR: Of course! It’s a matter of integrity. If you make a bet and then chicken out, people won’t believe in any bets you make after that. Our cameraman said he wants to film me having the tattoo if I lose and he wants to do it with full surround sound so that people can hear me screaming as the needle goes in.

JK: It sounds like there’s a fair bit of interest in this bet.

JR: There’s a surprising amount of interest. Everywhere I go, people are only too happy to tell me that I’m a b****y idiot. I even had someone ring me up, tell me how stupid I was and then hang up. I have no idea who it was.

JK: Hmm, I’ll be watching the scores for the Kyabram games with more interest from now on.

JR and Foxy Dolls JR: I don’t think anybody has more interest in the results for Kyabram than I do. All I know is that it’s a very long season.

JK: (Laughing) Wouldn’t it be funny if Tatura was the first team to beat Kyabram.

JR: I’m sure it would make a lot of locals very happy.

So there you have it. Even if you don’t follow the Footy Show, you can still check the paper each week to see if Kyabram have lost a game. In the meantime, if you see John Ryan down the street, he’ll be pleased to hear your opinion about his bet. However, a quiet word of advice to the wise, don’t mention it to his wife.

AROUND TATURA

30 Years Ago…

The Shepparton Pipe Band led the Anzac Day march from victory Hall down Hogan Street to the newly named Mactier Memorial Gardens.

Mr Tom Deane and Doug Campbell led the march to the war memorial. Following the wreath laying ceremony, RSL President, Mr Ray Stammers introduced Canon Cliff Page who addressed the crowd. The choir led the crowd in singing the National Anthem to close the ceremony. Secretary Eric Ball said the RSL were extremely pleased to see such a large crowd participate in the ceremony and the club made a record $1160 from the sale of badges. ***** Trevor Robinson of Byrneside is this year’s winner of the ‘Jim Bell Award’. Trevor, 18, won the award sponsored by the Tatura Rotary Club and Jim Bell’s family ahead of five other apprentices. Jim Bell gave his life in tragic circumstances in 1978, when he made a valiant attempt to rescue a member of his staff who was trapped in a deep pit which was under construction. The award, which is to be made each year, is for a senior apprentice from the technical professions. Trevor is employed by Bertoli’s Agricultural Machinery in Shepparton and is in his third year as a motor mechanic. ***** Florence Ellen O’Brien, or Nell as she friends know her, celebrated her 88th birthday recently.

Born in Dandenong on May 24, 1901, Mell moved to the Shepparton area when she was 21 years-old and worked at SPC. She was married to Francis Leonard O’Brien in 1922 at Shepparton and moved around the place before settling in Tatura in the early 1930’s.

She has four children, 17 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren who all helped her celebrate her birthday. ***** Tatura won a heart-stopping encounter against a very determined Seymour by three points.

Tatura held on grimly to their narrow lead in the tense final minutes and deservedly won the vital four points which enabled them to slip into the top five. The exciting finish had all supporters on their toes as Seymour gradually narrowed the handy lead that Tatura held throughout the match. Final scores were Tatura 11 goals 18 points to Seymour 10 goals 21 points. Best players for Tatura were Jodie Canavan, Michael Kilmartin, Bevan Dempsey, Dene Archer, Danny Alper and Brian Thomas. ***** A man who worked tirelessly for the Tatura community was recognised at an official opening at the Moyola Lodge Hostel. The newly opened eight-bed addition was the named the D. A. Pyke Wing in memory of Doug Pyke who was committee president

between 1982 and 1984 and was tragically killed in a tractor accident in 1986. Mr Peter Ross-Edwards, MLA, Shepparton officially opened the facility and described the opening as an exciting day in Tatura. Mr Geoff Whitten who was a member of the original committee spoke about the history of Moyola and first cottages which were built in 1965. ***** Carl Russell of Tatura has won the coveted United Dairy Farmers of Victoria section of the VFF/Qantas Farming Trades apprentice of the Year award. The award was presented to Carl by the UDF president, Mr John Watson, at the UDF conference held in Geelong recently.

Carl, 22, one of three candidates in the dairy section, is apprenticed to his parents, Stephan and Unita, at their 100-hectare dairy farm in Tatura. He will now go on to the state final against other commodity winners in the award. ***** The Water Table Watch program will be launched at Harston in the Harston Hall by Mr Jeff Wright, Chief General Manager of the Department of Agriculture. As part of the program, 500 test well floats will be distributed to landholder groups to emphasise the visual impact of high water tables. The program hopes to increase the public’s awareness of water table levels and the effect it has on soil salinity.

Goulburn Valley TREE GROUP First of all, many thanks to the Bulletin for the splendid array of photos showing our volunteers at work amongst all those flourishing young trees. Happy will be those who had their ground prepared when the rain came to give their purchases a flying start in warm wet ground.

My feature tree this month is Agonis Flexuosa.

Quite apart from its musical name and its attributes of loving hot dry conditions, not to mention its graceful weeping habit (it is also known as the Weeping Myrtle) it also has very personal memories. A bit over 60 years ago, the host of a pre-wedding party given to my fiancé and myself, presented each guest with a young Agonis Flexuosa. As you can see our host was a generation ahead of his time in revegetation.

On a more sombre note and as a result of some disappointing experiences, the Tree Group will now only take orders early in the season to produce x amount of x variety for delivery later in the year on a deposit of $50.

Please remember we do like you to return your tubes and boxes as the supply of polystyrene boxes in the future is looming as a problem.

IGPAY ATINLAY If you’ve ever wanted to learn another language but haven’t had the time, then there is a very simple language you can easily learn in no time at all. Many of the older folk among us will already have worked out this language just by looking at the heading. Yes, it’s Pig Latin. I just need to clarify a couple of things before I explain the mechanics of the language.

Firstly, it is not based on Latin, and secondly it is not spoken by pigs although if pigs could speak it they would be even more gruntled than they usually are. Nobody knows where the name Pig Latin came from but it has been around for at least one hundred and fifty years. It became very popular in the early twentieth century and its usage appeared in many films when the characters needed to talk in code. The famous old movie star Ginger Rogers sang a song in Pig Latin in the 1933 film Gold Diggers. Krusty the Clown in the Simpsons has also been known to speak Pig Latin on occasions.

If you can speak English then you can learn Pig Latin and the rules are quite simple.

Rule Number One. For words that begin with consonant sounds, all letters before the initial vowel are placed at the end of the word, then ‘ay’ is added, as in the following examples: pig = igpay dog = ogday latin = atinlay happy = appyhay banana = ananabay me = emay cat = atcay too = ootay Rule Number Two. When words begin with two or more consonants that form one sound such as ‘ch’ or ‘sm’, the whole sound is transferred to the end of the word and then ‘ay’ is added as in the following examples: smile = ilesmay trash = ashtray chat = atchay floor= oorflay string = ingstray store= orestay stupid = upidstay Rule Number Three. For words that begin with vowel sounds, you can add either ‘way’, ‘yay’ or just ‘ay’ to the end of the word. Some examples are: eat = eatway or eatay I = Iway are = areway or areay end = endway or enday egg = eggway or eggay honest = honestway There is an alternative method for words beginning with vowel sounds and it is one that I prefer although you only use it for words with more than one syllable. You remove the initial vowel along with the first consonant or consonant cluster and add these to the end of the word and then add ‘ay’. This make the words appear to be more mysterious and it makes it more difficult for the non-Pig Latin speaking listener to understand.

Some examples are: every = eryevay Explain = plainexay under = erunday another = otheranay island = andislay Several Pig Latin words have entered mainstream English of which the two best known are ‘ixnay’ and ‘amscray’. If you don’t know what they mean I suggest you go back and read this article again.

With a bit of practice, you will soon become quite proficient in Pig Latin and will be able to both amaze and confuse your friends and family.

Oodgay ucklay.

Emily Kame Kngwarray

EMILY KAME KNGWARREYE

Emily Kame Kngwarreye (or Emily Kam Ngwarray) was born in 1910 and died in September, 1996. She was an indigenous Australian artist from the Utopia community in the Northern Territory, 250km northeast of Alice Springs. She had one brother, one sister and no children of her own.

She did not take up painting seriously until she was nearly 80 years of age and was one of the most prominent and successful artists in the history of contemporary indigenous Australian art. Her prominence was no overnight sensation, finding its roots in a lifetime of ritual and artistic activity. Her paintings reflect the land of her birth - the contours of the landscape, the cycles of seasons, the parched land, the flow of flooding waters and sweeping rains, the patterns of seeds and the shape of plants.

Her vision of the land is unique and challenge the way many people look at art by Aboriginal Australians. Her initial artistic training was as a traditional indigenous woman, preparing and using designs for women's ceremonies. She had decades of drawing in the soft earth, of painting on people's bodies in ritual or, in the late 1970's, of painting on the bodies of the Utopia women as they successfully presented their claims to their land in legal proceedings.

Kngwarray was a founding member of the Utopia Women's Batik Group, which commenced operations in 1977. In this communal project, no one artist was singled out above the rest and all were encouraged equally to produce work. The technique of batik is unforgiving, with each mark and stroke recorded layer upon layer, with none obliterated.

Kngwarray said she gave up on fabric to avoid all the boiling to get the wax out. She said she got a bit lazy because it was too much hard work and therefore changed over to canvas. Kngwarray's painting began to attract real attention partly due to the prominence gained by the reproduction of her first canvas, Emu woman, on the cover of The Summer Project catalogue for the exhibition of the S.H.Ervin Gallery in Sydney in 1989.

She had her first solo exhibition at Utopia Art Sydney in 1990. Suddenly, public interest in her paintings created a great demand.

Within a short space of time her earnings were substantial but according to custom were distributed among kin. This in turn created a level of expectation and the pressure on her to produce work, from family members and dealers grew considerably. In 1992 she received an Australian Artist's Creative Fellowship, a substantial sum awarded to artists who have made a major contribution to the cultural heritage of the nation. Kngwarray regarded the award as recognition of her past efforts and the means to retire, passing on the mantle of senior artist to others. As she was the great provider, the demands of the family and community prevented this from being possible.

Kngwarray went through many different individual styles in her short career as a professional painter. In 1992 she began to join the dots into lines with parallel horizontal and vertical stripes, representing rivers and terrain, in many different colours. Her later paintings were based on many larger dots than the finer, more intricate work which she did when she started. In 1993 she began painting patches of colour along with many dots, which were like rings that were clear in the middle. This was made with a shaving brush that was called her ‘dump dump’ style, which used very bright colours. In 1995 she ended what critics called her ‘colourist’ phase and began painting with plain stripes that crossed the canvas. The originally thick stripes often represented the lines of yam tracks. She expressed the strange growth patterns of the yam, a plant which was critical for human survival in the desert but was difficult to find. Several weeks before her death, she painted many canvases over a three- day period, using a very thick brush.

Being a woman in her 80’s who had never been outside the central desert before becoming a great painter was one reason for her popularity. She had in fact been to Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra, though this was only after she had become famous. There was much pressure from the white community for her to paint in a certain way when they believed one of her styles was more successful than others.

Paintings by Kngwarreye in the Sotheby's winter auction of 2000 were sold for $507,50 and her work was among that of eight individual and collaborative groups of indigenous Australian artists shown in the prestigious Nicholas Hall and the Hermitage Museum in Russia. The exhibition received a positive reception from Russian critics.

According to Sotheby's International Director (Tim Klingender), Kngwarry was "an example of an Aboriginal artist who was relentlessly pursued by carpetbaggers towards the end of her career and produced a large but inconsistent body of work."

SACRED HEART SCHOOL’S CROSS COUNTRY On Tuesday, April 30, Sacred Heart students participated in the annual Cross Country at Cussen Park. We arrived at Cussen park at 9:15am and waited for our turn to run. It was a sunny day which just made it more enjoyable.

We caught our breath from walking until it was time for the first class to run. Each student had a go at running around the countryside with their friends. Some sprinted and some jogged.

Once each student had run, they had the option to eat with their friends or cheer others on. We finished around lunchtime and walked back to school. It was a very fun and enjoyable day.

BOOK REVIEW Stella and Margie

by Glenna Thomson Stella and her mother-in-law Margie are two very different women. Stella is kind, compassionate and just a little chaotic.

Margie is prickly, demanding and a stickler for convention.

When MargieNo. needs SUDOKU 38help recovering from

a major operation, Stella offers her a place to stay. Margie 6 has never 2 made life easy 4 for her daughter-in-law and that’s not going to change 1 now that she’s been made a guest 9 in her former home.

But7as the dry summer turns to a beautiful autumn, the two women gradually form an unlikely bond as the ambitions, secrets and 6 tragedies that have shaped their lives are 2 uncovered.

7 slowly *Brilliant!!5That’s it in a nutshell.

It was 9 one of those books that you savoured and dreaded finishing. That meant you would 8 3 1 have to move on to a new book and it would be hard to find one9that compared.8

TATURA COMMUNITY CUBBY HOUSE

As childcare has become more affordable under the Child Care Subsidy system, the Cubby Community Occasional Care service, located in the orange building at the back of the Community House is becoming busier. Our unique service offers flexible times allowing for 1- 5 hours of care on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, perfect for families just wanting a couple of hours or all three days of childcare.

Children are involved in a range of program activities and over the last few weeks have enjoyed picking the peas, beans and strawberries from the community garden as well as creating a beautiful vertical garden from recycled bottles. The children have also been delighted by their new friends, Dorretto, Rock Star, Hard Nut and Hermie, four hermit crabs who provide endless entertainment.
