ANZAC DAY

Celebrated by Many

In our own unique and individual ways, the communities of Mount Beauty, Tawonga South and Tawonga showed just how much we appreciate the efforts of all of our countrymen and women who have gone to war ‘for us!’ It is a sincere mark of respect for all who served and for those that did not make it home.

At the Mount Beauty Cenotaph, piper Barry Flynn, in full regalia, put on a one-man show with his beautiful bagpipe performance. Barry had served overseas with the British Army before moving to Australia and has played at ANZAC Day services at Falls Creek.

The well-spaced crowd were very appreciative and many wreaths and flowers were laid.

In Tawonga, the flag was raised by Mark Hardidge and several wreaths and flowers were laid at the new ANZAC Memorial.

Charles Street, Tawonga had their own ANZAC Day Ceremony run by Cr Tony Keeble at 10am with many residents observing this from their driveways.

Acacia Keeble played the Last Post and Joshua New gave an address.

In other parts of town, residents, students and cadets (in uniform) stood to attention at the end of their driveway – with candle –in the dark at 6am. Well done.

And finally, from students at the Mount Beauty Secondary College, the following poem by Joanna Fuchs was chosen by Jonah Cosgriff and Georgina Williams for the ANZAC Day Remembrance to be read out on Alpine Radio.

The Best on Earth:

If someone has done military service, They earn the title "veteran," and more; They earn our deep respect and admiration; That they are special no one can ignore. They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy; The list is long of all the things they gave; Our veterans are extraordinary people; They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave. When terror and invasion were real threats, They showed us they could handle any storm. We owe our freedoms and our very lives To our veterans, who served in uniform.

Our veterans should be celebrities; They’re exceptional; no other group compares.

We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done; They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.

We owe our veterans support and friendship; Let no one ever question what they’re worth. These men and women served us and our country;

Our veterans - the very best on earth.

FALLS CREEK – Coronavirus COVID-19 Update

May 6th 2020

To all our Stakeholders, Residents, Snow Sports and Mountain Adventure Enthusiasts, Just like you, we are navigating our way through the dynamic and ever-changing challenges that coronavirus (COVID-19) is presenting.

The State of Emergency was extended until midnight on May 11th 2020. FCARMB expect further advice with respect to the Chief Health Officer’s directions in relation to the current restrictions.

Victorians must only leave their homes for the below reasons:

• Shopping for what you need - food and essential supplies

• Medical, care or compassionate needs

• Exercise in compliance with the public gathering requirements

• Work and study if you can’t work or learn remotely.

Until such time as there is any further advice, please respect the directives and do not travel.

We also ask, for the benefit of the season, that the community download the COVIDSafe app. Visit www.health.gov.au for further details and to download.

Falls Creek Resort Management and our partners aim to be as dynamic and flexible during these uncertain times and we continued to prepare for the upcoming snow season, while we wait for further information about next steps.

We would request that as we work with all these parties to gain certainty on the outlook for the season, and the scenario’s that may occur, we would greatly respect your flexibility and understanding of the complexities and priorities. We can assure you, that, as soon we are able to, we will give you the best news we can.

During this time, many of our staff are working remotely. Our phones are being manned and our emails and social channels monitored to answers questions where we can.

PS: A Special thanks to our hard-working local R&SL members who continue to do a great job; and thanks to Karen and Campbell Ford and team at Mt Beauty Hardware for their wonderful window display.

The Bright Side

Amusic teacher from my school days, not that long ago, described the Oboe as “an ill wind that nobody blows any good!” The preference for this article would be the correct terminology “It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good!” which basically means that times are pretty tough if nothing good comes from the current situation.

Therefore, let’s have a look at the items that are beneficial for us as we work our way through this problem period - or, as the whizzes at Monty Python said as they were hanging around the cross “Always look on the bright side of life!”

Our National ‘Working overtime’ Media tells us on those occasions when they’re reporting good news ‘There are plenty of stories regarding innovation when times are tough.’ The following are some examples from around the country and some more local.

Then we have much much better family time outdoors – on bikes, walking or pushing the pram.

It was simply fabulous to see the number of people out around the lake last Sunday (3rd) after all of that wonderful rain (and snow!). Families walking their dogs and pushing the pram and riding their bikes. A special mention here to the mums with bubs that are out running with the bubs in the pusher. Great effort!

A TIME TO REMEMBER

ANZAC Day Dawn Service: 5:45am6:15am. Service at Eagle Rock - including a Bagpipe recital.. All friends and visitors welcome. For further information please call 03 5758 1202 or visit www.fallscreek. com.au/Events.

Mount Beauty Service

Improved Tele-Health facilities: i.e. consultations over the phone; better communication and diagnostic facilities in the outback.

Anzac Day Services are as follows. The Early Morning Service will take place in Bi-Centennial Park, Lakeside Avenue (beside the shire offices) beginning at 7am. A small informal service with a speaker from the local RSL. All welcome.

Bus companies providing school bus services now providing home delivery services for those stuck in the bush – and home schooling their kids.

The Anzac Day March will come down Hollonds Street, starting from the assembly point in Park Street, near the Police Station at 10:45am, but marchers should be assembled and ready to go at 10:30am. Whilst Hollonds Street will not be closed, traffic movement will be restricted as the marchers come down the street.

In general, across the board, we find better family time: More home-cooked meals; dining at the dinner table; more home grown veges; doing jigsaws; reading books; less screen time; actually learning to understand a little about what your kids are doing at school – and then being prepared to help them.

The Commemorative Service will take place at the Cenotaph, beginning at 11am. The Motion of Loyalty will be offered by Councillor Tony Keeble of the Alpine Shire. Prayers will be led by Sister Eileen Reardon of the Catholic Church and the Guest Speaker on the day will be Flight L Richard Cornell ALTC Bandiana..

It would probably be fair to say that many in the community are learning to value this wonderful time outdoors: breathing in the cool clear air; pausing for a moment to appreciate the environment around us –especially with the fantastic autumn colours drenching us – and actually enjoying seeing many of the other community members (our mates) all out doing similar things.

The address for the day will be offered by students from the Mount Beauty Secondary College. Speakers will be school captains, Katerina Trnka and Connor Vickers. At our local service, wreaths will be laid by many community representatives and members of the public are invited to do so if they wish.

Further details on the service from Mr Bob Williams, President, Mount Beauty RSL on 5754 1585, or 0427 784 499.

Now the big question is: How long will it last? Oh, we know we will get over the COVID-19 problem sooner or later – and the economy will take a huge hit – which will take years to recover. But how long will it take us to forget these new healthy ways of living; the exercise with the kids; the home-cooked meals; sitting around the dinner table and talking to each.

How long will it be before we are all scoffing down fast food; driving unnecessary trips to Albury/Wodonga in the misguided belief we are saving

Following the service, everyone is invited to the Mount Beauty Senior Citizens Rooms for a BBQ Lunch, refreshments and the traditional activities (read two-up), plus a couple of beers and a few old stories. •

money; gluing the kids eyes to a screen so we can have a BBQ in peace. How long will it be before the Multi-Nationals start controlling our lives again with their bullshit advertising. “It’s not clean if it’s not Pinoclean!” Crap – hot soapy water and a bit of elbow grease will do a better job. How long before peas are flown from China to New Zealand to be packaged and sold to us in Oz – again?

As a community we now have the chance to stand up and be counted. Shop locally, support your local businesses that support the clubs and student activities. Then our community can thrive and we will all be better off. Or you can be one of those morons who continually drives out of town to shop – and who still has a shed full of toilet paper to try and unload! • Ken Bell

MOTHER’S DAY SHOPPING

For That Special Person

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and what better day is there to show your love and appreciation for the most important women in your life! Fortunately, despite all the limitations currently in place, we're still spoilt for choice when it comes to finding gifts locally - and to make it even easier, we’ve put together a shopping guide for you so you know where to go!

A Life to Remember

For the mums who are serious outdoor enthusiasts, look no further than Alpine Outfitters. With brands including The North Face, Camelbak, Troy Lee Designs and Yeti, they’ve got you covered for mums who love mountain biking, hiking, camping, cycling and more. But for those who prefer the indoors, they’ve also got plenty to choose from with plenty of stylish women’s wear including Caroline Morgan, Sndys and Ugg Australia - and we don’t know a mum who wouldn’t love a new pair of slippers!

A Life to Remember

A celebration of Lyn’s Life will take place on Friday the 28th April 2017 in the Village Bowl at Falls Creek for anyone who wishes to attend and pay tribute. Commencing at 12 noon, the afternoon will reflect Lyn’s enormous contribution to Falls Creek. Some wine and a light BBQ will be provided, but we ask that you bring other beverages and also a plate to share. In the case of wet weather, a contingency plan will be in place. Friends are welcome to pass this invite on and it is understood that members of Lyn’s family will be in attendance. •

Let her choose her own treatments, or put together a package you know she’ll love - just pop in and see Emma and she’ll help you out!

Something of an institution since 1982, the Trade Fair @ Falls Creek is an opportunity

A special mention to Studio E Cakes who will be treating mums in the valley to a delectable range of cupcakes and high tea capers this Mother’s Day - but unfortunately by the time this goes to print, you’ll have missed the cut off date for orders!

And of course, we can’t forget the shopping destination for all fashion forward mums, Sassy Road, but we’ve left this particular business until last for a very good reason. This week, we celebrated a whole decade of Sassy Road in Mount Beauty. Anyone who has been in the business of small business knows that reaching the 10 year milestone is an incredible achievement, and one that takes a lot of hard work, persistence, tears and triumphs. There’s no argument that Sassy Road has become a staple of the Mount Beauty retail scene, and a shopping destination for many - with some dedicated customers making regular day trips from as far away as Shepparton just for Moni’s styling advice and fabulous taste in fashion. From that first opening night in May, 2010, the store has come a long way to what it is now, and it hasn’t been without the constant love and support of her husband, Will, and children Emily and Liam, and dozens upon dozens of customers who return time and time again (and some on a daily basis - yes we’re looking at you Lynne Short!) to get their fashion fix from Sassy Road. On behalf of the community, this paper would like to thank and congratulate Moni on 10 wonderful years, and we look forward to the next decade!

So for the fashion lovers, you can’t go past Sassy Road. Whether it’s clothing, shoes, jewellery or accessories you’re after, Moni can help you find the perfect piece your mum will love. With a brand new range of active-wear and sleepwear landing in store just in time for Mother’s Day, and new styles for winter arriving regularly, there’s even more to choose from this year - or simply pick up a gift voucher and give mum the gift of shopping (because we don’t actually think we know a mum who doesn’t love an excuse to ‘drop in’ to Sassy Road!) • Simone Dowel

Or, it might be to a favourite location of yours, to take some time out for yourself, or let your furry friend burn some energy by enjoying the walk with you!

Exercise doesn't have to be complicated or take a long time - what's most important is that you move your body in some way, get your heart rate up, and keep your muscles active, while also feeling some enjoyment, or seeing the positives in why you're doing it.

Eco Friendly Tips For Winter

• Isn’t it strange that every time a new season rolls around you feel like you have no clothes to wear? Well, never fear, because you can save the environment and your wallet by shopping second-hand. Now is a great time to buy second hand, as people have time to clean out their cupboards and rearrange. When Op shops reopen, great buys will be found. Also, check out Facebook marketplace, Ebay or Gumtree for great second-hand buys.

• As the days get shorter and darker, our need to use indoor lighting increases. Think about switching to LED light bulbs, as they are a more energy efficient lighting source than other types of lighting. There is even a Victorian Government upgrade program, where rebates and discounts are available to households and businesses with incandescent lamps, halogen lamps & CFL. Checkout the Victorian Government website for more info. •

Bill was happy to lend the book and until now it was always returned – until this last 18 months. This is a valuable piece of the area’s history and we hope this notice may prompt someone’s memory. Please contact your Ed on 0400 350 488.

FALL LINES

Wild Dog Trapping

DELWP (Ovens) and ParksVic have notified the Upper Kiewa Valley Community Association of the following planned undertaking next week (week beginning 4th May).

This Information was kindly distributed by UKVCA and the press release is printed here-with.

Wild dog trapping around Mount Beauty, Tawonga South & Tawonga.

DWELP will be setting soft leg traps on the edges of forest tracks and trails, right on the edge of town. Some of the tracks/ areas include: Simmonds Creek Road, Simmonds Creek Track (runs from the end of Highland Court to Simmonds Creek Road), Vails Road area, Ryders Spur Track, Diggings Lane, and around some old dozer lines in the vicinity of Vails Hill, Hollonds Hill and behind properties in Tawonga and Tawonga South.

NOTE: Some of the traps will be on the very edges of these tracks. All appropriate signage will be in place.

Please do not walk your dog off leash in these areas at this time. If you have a dog on a leash, it is suggested you walk in the middle of the track, and not let your dog sniff at the track edges. Last year, two domestic dogs were caught when trapping occurred in similar areas.

If you requite further information, please contact the DELWP office (Ovens) – 03 5731 1222. •

Now, your editor has been in touch with Mr. John Turner of DELWP – contacted through the above phone number. John has since come back to the paper and has advised me that the Trapping Contractor has not yet started the program (as of Tuesday 5th May) and that a certain start date has not yet been established. I have requested that – as soon as the start date for trapping is set, that we be advised, through the paper and any other community

PUBLICATION SCHEDULE:

organisations that are appropriate. I have also asked that – as well as being advised of the start date, we are also informed of the period that the trapping will go for – so that we have a definite end date.

Obviously, while this trapping program is being planned and implemented, keeping your dog on a lead during all of the walks and looking for any signs is simple common sense.

This paper will try and let you know, via print and our Facebook site as to progress of the planned trapping. • Ed

PS: Make sure you are picking up after your dog – because some people aren’t!!

The Bogong Power Station Information Centre is closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic

WHATS ON

MAY

May is Red Shield Month. At this stage there may be some collection tins placed strategically around town - and a digital collection facility is being arranged. More news in the next edition. 10th Mother’s Day. Now some might think this is a little commercialised – but so what. We don’t have to go with the commercial version. We can be creative and find great ways to contact or be with that most important person in our lives. Skyping, Insta – all that stuff – or even better, something as simple as posting a lovely card if you can’t be with mum on Mother’s Day.

FUTURE EVENTS
