The Mighty Mitta Muster held its 48th Annual Event on the 8th of

March at the Mitta Mitta Community and Sports Grounds.

The day began with over thirty market stalls, helicopter rides and amusement rides for the kids. The wood chopping ran all day as well as novelty horse events. A new event, the Mighty Mitta Muster Mad mile ran early in the day. The main event at the Mighty Mitta Muster was the Australian Ramp Design. 2 Motorbikes put on 2 shows throughout the day. They sure got the adrenaline running. The classic events like the Wood Chopping, Dog Jump, Whip Cracking, Iron Man & Woman, Tug of War and the Mitta Gift kept the crowd entertained through out the day. Our newer events, the North Albury

The Annual Mighty Mitta Muster

Lorrae Smyth Tyre Power Strong man competition, Bendigo Bank Hay Stacking and the Kevin Giltrap Memorial Stockmans Challenge, were crowd favourites.

Fortunately the rain was kept at bay till later in the day and only interrupted the events for a short period.

The silent and live auctions achieved great interest from the many donations by local sponsors.

Ending the day with music with Jack Quinell was a perfect way to finish. A very successful Mighty Mitta Muster 2020.

Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors for making the event possible. The Mighty Mitta Muster committee would like to thank all the farmers involved in raising our calves over the past 9 months and to Peters Transport for the cartage of our calves.

This week’s theme is landscapes. We are interested in seeing all different types of landscapes as each is unique in its own

way and deserves to be documented.We really want to see snaps of the lake,

the river, our glorious mountains and all the beautiful little towns around our area, but we also want to see cityscapes of when you are visiting or any exotic places you have been (or are going to) that you think are worth the photo!

Happy shooting!

Protection of Heritage Trestle Bridges in the

Upper Murray

Tallangatta High Country Rail Trail Advisory Group and Parklands

Albury Wodonga acknowledges the recent work of the American firefighters who were deployed to the Upper Murray region to assist local DELWP staff to manage the suppression of the bushfires in our region.

To protect the wooden trestle bridges from the impact of fire, the crews worked for several days to put a in rake-hoe line

to clear and clean the vegetation from around the wooden pylons of the heritage trestle bridges at Boggy Creek, Koetong and others around Beetooomba and Shelley.

While the protection of lives, livelihoods and private property is paramount and takes precedence, we do acknowledge and appreciate the efforts the crews and thank DELWP whole heartedly for their dedication to protecting these valuable assets.

Tallangatta Neighbourhood House is encouraging women to try

something new and get active as part of VicHealth’s This Girl Can Week kicking off on Monday 23 March.

This Girl Can Week (23-29 March 2020) aims to encourage more women to give physical activity a go or return to exercise after a break.

To coincide with This Girl Can Week, VicHealth has recently launched a new TV ad which aims to show getting active is for all women – not just those with a six-pack and the latest activewear.

Featuring everyday women from right across Victoria, such as body-positive personal trainer Natasha Korbut and amputee swimmer Karen Veldhuizen, the new ad encourages women to focus on how getting active makes them feel rather than what they look like.

Tallangatta Neighbourhood House wants to support all women to get active and embrace a healthy lifestyle, no matter their age, body shape or ability.

During This Girl Can Week Tallangatta Neighbourhood House will offer the following activities that will be fun and inclusive, helping women celebrate how getting active makes us feel – whether it’s the fun of a paddling down the Murray or the calm of yoga.

This Girl Can Week is for all kinds of Victorian women who are all kinds of active. Give something a go – you might discover a new favourite hobby.

Easter will be with us shortly. We are having a raffle at $2 a ticket,

with 3 prize draws of, a rug, diamond art and chocolate. Drawn in time for Easter. Seniors once again are having a “Biggest Morning Tea” for cancer on Wednesday May 20th. We also will have a meat raffle to raise funds for cancer – I am not asking businesses for donations to support this, as they are asked to support every day

right around town, which is not really fair on them – though as in the past, any goods passed on for raffle auction will be gratefully accepted. May members, friends and community come along for a cuppa from 10am for the B.M.T.

Our next activity is Friday March 20th at 1.30pm with Geoff entertaining us.

Next meeting April 7th at 1.30pm, mark this date on your calendar. See you there.

Summer has been a busy

time in the Op Shop. Firstly, thank you to all who generously donated so much to us during the January bushfires. We had so much to sort through that we had to put a temporary hold on donations for about a month. Everyone has put in a big effort to clear the backlog and we are again very happy to receive donations of clothing and bric-a-brac.

We do ask that any clothing you donate is clean and folded neatly; that goods and toys are in good condition. The Corryong Op Shop (which was also inundated with goods) had a note on their Facebook page “that if you wouldn’t wear it, or wouldn’t use it, take it to the tip rather than donate to us”. This is a good guide for donating goods. While one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, if it’s just rubbish, then please put it in your own bin, rather than it go in ours!

By the time of reading this, we will have Winter Changeover well under way. The shop will be closed from March 16-19 for thorough cleaning and restocking,

and re-open with the Winter stock on Friday, March 20th.

The OP Shop – along with the Uniting Church Tallangatta cluster – is very pleased to support a number of charities. Our aim is that at least 10% of our income be used to help others. In 2019, we used our funds for: Albury Cancer Centre, Blaze Aid (fencing support for bushfire areas), Christmas Bowl (Act for Peace overseas support), Food vouchers, Frontier Services (supporting ministers and programs in outback Australia), ‘Have-a-coffee’ vouchers for Welcome Packs (from Bakery & Teddy’s), Juvenile Diabetes Research, Legacy Club Albury, Lions Club Albury (tickets for needy kids to Festival of Magic), Local Schools – for their welfare programs, Private Assistance, Rustic Bus, UnitingWorld – the Uniting Church overseas programs and Welfare assistance. In 2020, we have already donated $1000 to the Benalla Uniting Church Fencing Aid who assisted the Corryong community after the January bushfires.

All this is done with your support and the hard work of our many volunteers.

OP Shop News

We are well on our way to getting to $20,000 for the Sandy Statue.

The committee is working very hard organising events to raise money. The next fund raiser will be the Wodonga Markets BBQ on the 5th April. If you have a couple of hours to spare, the committee would love to have you along to help us with this. We start at about 7:30pm and go till 1pm on the Sunday.

In May the Howie Bros will be performing again so look out for the advertising for this.

We are considering a Short Horse Ride from Tallangatta out to the Old Town to check out where Frank (Bonner)

O’Donnell had his brick works in the Old Town, have a BBQ lunch there and then back to Tallangatta. Date not yet set but all horse riders keep this in mind.

If you would like to join our committee we meet the first Tuesday of the month at the Memorial Hall at 7:00pm. We would love to have you on board.

Once again we were lucky with the weather for the Show after the

much needed rain that fell a couple of days earlier. Those of you who attended would have seen that the Horticultural Society’s display was rather different this year. The theme was Recycle and Reuse. To this end we used many receptacles that would usually have been discarded. So there were plants in walking boots, watering cans, all sorts of unusual receptacles and even a colander! At the end of the afternoon nearly all the plants were sold. We hope that they thrive for their new owners.

Now we are into autumn it is time to get the garden ready for planting sweet peas. They like a sweet soil so add dolomite to the soil 6 weeks before planting. They should be in the ground between mid March and Anzac Day. Soak the seeds overnight in warm water before planting. Water them in well when planting then do not water again until they have sent up their shoots. As sparrows like to dine on the new shoots it is a good idea to protect

Horticultural Society

them with netting in the early stages. It is also the time to plant garlic. As garlic stunts the growth of legumes keep it as far away from your peas and beans as possible.

In autumn you can propagate semi hardwood cuttings of natives, perennials and gardenias. Dip the cuttings in a hormone mix or in honey or vegemite then pot into a mixture of sand and peat. Herbaceous perennials should be cut back to conserve nutrients. They can be divided now. Lift and divide Day Lilies, lightly trim Lavender and cut back Pelargonium. Lift, clean and replant Polyanthus and Primula Obconicas.

A number of exciting milestones have been reached on the Tallangatta

Streetscape Revitalisation Project as outlined in the Council Plan.

Following the community consultation workshop hosted by Towong Shire Council in December, Artist Kirrily Anderson has developed a concept which reflects the community request for a mural that captures elements of Tallangatta’s heritage, yet celebrates the community’s youth and future.

The mural concept is available to view at the Tallangatta Integrated Community Centre (Library) until 20th March, before the work is installed at 87 Towong Street at the end of the month. The response to date has been overwhelmingly positive.

The original site locked in for the second mural is no longer available. However a replacement site has been secured on the Nicola Teek building

Milestones Reached On Tallangatta Streetscape

Revitalisation Project

on Banool Road South. This site will make the mural visible from both Akuna Avenue and Banool Road. Further details will be provided when the second mural is ready and on public display.

The wider scope of work has continued across the Tallangatta Streetscape Project including

• Painting and restoration has now been completed on veranda posts

• Highlight windows have been painted or tinted

• Redundant electrical boxes have now been removed

• Roofing repairs are now complete The final installation of signage is

expected to happen within the next fortnight with two businesses to be completed.

For any further information, please contact Council on 02 6071 5100.

Fight On!Katy Perry comes to Bright

Over 6000 people were lucky enough to see Katy Perry on Wednesday the 11th of March at the ‘Fight On’ Bushfire Relief Concert at Bright.

A wonderful highlight of the night was seeing some of our local emergency services personnel and supporting agencies join Katy Perry on

Meredith ButlerPhotos taken by Meredith Butler

stage for a dance and singalong. The atmosphere for the night was

energetic, powerful and exhilarating. She played some of her classic songs where everyone was roaring to get involved.

Katy was even lucky enough to be receive a very special gift in current times, a roll of toilet paper.

Katy Perry certainly brightened spirits of the communities that night!

Book Launch Made Fun

Carmyl Winkler local community member has been teaching Indonesian for 25 years. She has taught at Tallangatta Primary School, St Michaels, Talgarno, Tallangatta Valley, Mitta, Eskdale, Bethanga, Army, Teachers development days, Canberra, Mildura, Ballarat and Gippsland. In this time she has written two other books including a CD, the first book ‘Selmat Pagi’ in 1997 had 1000 copies which were sold out in the first two years.

On the 10th of March Carmyl Winkler released her third book

‘Making Indonesian Fun’ which took around a year to write and two to three months for Rod Millichamp to design and illustrate. She started writing the middle chapter which includes cooking, spices and shopping. Around a third of the book is for teacher to photocopy and display around the classroom.

Selected students from Eskdale Primary School performed three songs and Tallangatta Primary School sang Cicak and played the game Cicak with both Mitta and Eskdale Primary Schools. Carmyl then talked about the different activities within the book, and how the last two books have helped out teachers over the years. Julie Butler, Principal of Eskdale Primary was

asked to reflect on her personal journey with Carmyl. The book launch was a success with a light afternoon tea with Indonesian food. She would like to thank Rod Millichamp, and her family.

Well what beautiful weather for our show. Rain on Wednesday

and Thursday leaving perfect conditions for the weekend, you couldn’t ask for anything better.

The Show Ground was a picture thanks to Roger and his team with many hours of watering and mowing, we are very fortunate to have such a beautiful venue.

The committee presented Roger Lees with life membership which was greatly deserved for his dedication over many years.

Friday we had the dog show, numbers were a little down on last year but all the competitors had a great day and the dogs looked amazing.

Saturday Show Day. What a great day we had, the Clydesdales doing a tour of the town the classic cars, show jumping, Horse Ring Events, Upper Murray Horseman’s Association with the Arena Sorting and the Stockman’s Challenge, also the sporting horse events and the wood chopping.

The show ground was abuzz with excitement.

We had cars parked on the golf course and down behind the cattle pavilion people just kept coming.

The pavilion had an excellent variety of entries, with beautiful crafts on display.

We had children’s events, the apple

Tallangatta Show

bob, the 2 legged race, the dress up relay and the pet parade.

The wood chops as always draws a large crowd who gather under the shady trees below the Stevenson pavilion.

The Clydesdales came down onto the arena and entertained the crowd with a demonstration of how to load chaff bags onto the cart.

The dog jump proved popular with both owners and their dogs doing their best to be number 1.

The arena was awash with horses from the Ring Events to Sporting horses and show Jumpers.

The raffle winner was Sarah Campbell, with Travis Carroll second. Thanks to everyone that supported us in any way.

This year our cattle entries were up on last year and a big increase in the number of Junior Cattle Handlers and Judges. This is very exciting to see so many young people interested in the cattle industry.

A great display of vintage tractors and vintage engines and classic cars .

We thank everyone who helped in any way and a big thank you to the community who came and supported the show. This is what keeps our show going. It was great to see so many young people at the show.

The World Health Organisation has now declared a COVID-19

Pandemic. As you hopefully are aware, Australia declared a pandemic several weeks ago. People should remain ‘alert’ but not ‘alarmed’.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can make humans and animals sick. They cause illnesses that can range from the common cold to more severe diseases. COVID-19 (Coronavirus) was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan City in China.

Symptoms can range from mild illness to pneumonia. Some people will recover easily, whilst others may get very sick very quickly. People with COVID-19 may experience:

• fever• flu-like symptoms such as coughing,

sore throat and fatigue• shortness of breath

Who is at risk?Most cases of COVID-19 are in Wuhan

City in Hubei Province, China. In Australia, the people most at risk of getting the virus are those who have:

• recently been in mainland China, Iran, Italy and South Korea

• been in close contact with someone who is a confirmed case of coronavirusHow does it spread?

There is evidence that the virus spreads from person-to-person.

The virus is most likely spread through:• close contact with an infectious person• contact with droplets from an infected

person’s cough or sneeze• touching objects or surfaces (like

Tallangatta Health Service Newsdoorknobs or tables) that have cough or sneeze droplets from an infected person, and then touching your mouth or faceIsolation:

You may be asked to isolate yourself if you are suspected or if confirmed with COVID-19. Isolation means:

• Do not go to public places, such as work, school, shopping centres, childcare or university.

• If possible, ask other people to get food and other necessities for you and leave them at your front door.

• Only people who usually live with you should be in your home. Do not let in visitors.

• People you live with may need to be isolated as well, check with your doctor.

• You do not need to wear a mask in your home

There is currently a lot of media attention around the outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Whilst it may be very easy to become confused with all the messages you see on TV, social media, and in newspapers, it is important to stay informed of the current situation. Some people may become concerned and need support. Support services Phone

Tallangatta Health Service has a pandemic plan in place to manage any outbreak. We have placed signage at entry/exit points to the site to prompt people to take appropriate action in minimising any risk. We ask that if you have a patient/resident to visit that you consider whether you pose any risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Our Medical Centre has signage to direct you if you believe that you may have COVID-19. If you become unwell and think you may have symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention. Call ahead of time to book an appointment at our Medical Centre on 6071 5270. Tell the person answering the call to transfer you to the Practice Nurse. Tell the practice nurse about your symptoms, travel history and any recent close contact with someone who has COVID-19. If you must leave home to see your doctor, wear a surgical mask (if you have one) to protect others.

If you receive District Nursing Services and/or My Community Home Care services attend your home we ask that you be mindful and notify staff in advance of your service or immediately upon arrival if the following criteria applies to you, a family member or friend:

• Have you, your family or friends that have close contact with you, travelled overseas in the last 14 days, or are they planning to travel overseas in the near future?

• Have you, your family or friends that have close contact with you, been in close or casual contact with a person with a confirmed or suspected case of Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

• Do you have a fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath?

If you, your family or friends that have

close contact with you, meet these criteria, staff will determine if your service is able to continue. We will suggest that you seek medical attention. Due to Department regulation around contact with possible suspected cases and the required isolation procedures, and to ensure as a community service we do not risk spreading this disease, services may need to be suspended for a period of at least 14 days. Any changes to your service will be discussed with you and support arrangements investigated should you be required to self-isolate.

If you have any questions on this please contact Maralee Vogel on 6071 5238.

As a Health Service our role is to keep up to date with information, share information with our consumers, have plans in place to manage people suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19, protect people’s health by minimising risk of transmission, and manage and care for people that become unwell.

The Better Health Channel guide “Ten ways to reduce your risk of coronavirus”, attached to this article is a useful and practical resource for you to refer to.

Ten ways to reduce your risk of coronavirus

Eskdale Cluster Day Brings Art and FriendshipCluster days that bring together the

small schools within the local region are always a highlight for students and teachers alike as they anticipate working together in a collaborative way. This term was no different.

With visual art being the central topic across the schools for the term, art was also the focus for learning activities on

our cluster day. As the buses rolled in from Upper Sandy Creek, Mitta, Mitta, Bethanga, Talgarno and Walwa, happy faces disembarked ready for the day’s activities.

The junior students undertook three different art projects on the day, utilising local talent including Mitta Valley artist, Felicity McDonald. They used various mediums, including tactile materials such as dry pasta!

T.C.M. Cricket ReportManny Chessari

A GRADE In the semi final, Tallangatta

in 6th Position took on Wodonga in 1st position and in one of the games of the season went down when the Wodonga last wicket standing put on the 7 runs needed to win the game.

In a gutsy call captain Mat Armstrong won the toss and batted after the wicket had been under covers for a couple of days due to heavy rain on Wed/Thurs. The call appeared to have paid dividends with Tallangatta going OK at 1 for 55 and then 2 for 70, but the dismissal of Ollie Willett for 34 saw a major collapse and Tallangatta found themselves staring down the barrel at 7 for 91. Unlike other weeks though, the lower order batted well, with Sahib Malhotra(50) putting on significant partnerships with Jake Hill and Sam Stephens before Sam(27 n.o.) and Ryan Bartel put on a last wicket stand of 23 to give Tallangatta a glimmer of hope at 9 for 167.

In the field, Tallangatta started well to have Wodonga in trouble at 3 for 39, before a couple of steadying partnerships took Wodonga to 6 for 156 with the game appearing gone, but Mat Armstrong had other ideas as he took 3 for virtually nothing to have Wodonga 9 down with 7 to get.

History will say Wodonga got the runs, but, what a game.

B GRADEB Grade did not put in their best

performance by virtue of the fact that they did not bat well. With a first wicket stand of 33 between Nick Paton and Brett Emo, Tallangatta somehow managed to be

bowled out for 105, with Greg McGilvray saving a complete debacle with his 34.

In the field, Tallangatta stormed back into calculation by virtue of an unplayable spell from Lachie Paton who at one stage had Lavington at 3 for 2. The good work was continued by Blake Larkin who also took 3 wickets, with Lavington reeling at 7 for 59, but as always you can never discount the opposition and Lavington put together a couple of partnerships to get them over the line 8 wickets down.

The problem for B Grade was compounded when 6th placed Wodonga downed 1st placed East Albury which meant Tallangatta were out.

C GRADEThe prelim final against North Albury

saw Tallangatta bat first and amass 6 for 184, thanks to the ever reliable Adam Healy(65) and Nic McCormack(38 n.o.). Tallangatta then decimated North Albury for 70 thanks to 6 for 15 from Jack Grigg.

The grand final saw Tallangatta bat first and compile 8 for 191. Adam Healy scored yet another half century, but the highlight of the innings was Craig Stephens who in his first ever GF at age 55 (sorry Craig) scored 42 at the top of the innings to give Tallangatta a great platform.

In the field, Tallangatta were never going to let it slip with Jack Grigg bowling a super spell with 3 early wickets before Luke Wilson joined the party with a hat trick. Corowa did mount a bit of a recovery

but Young Jack Fenz-Mace and the not so young Dave Healy took wickets to dismiss Corowa for 136.

What a great effort from this team under the leadership of young Adam Healy. The team consisted of Adam and David Healy, Craig Stephens, Jack Fenz-Mace, Nic McCormack, Jack Grigg, Luke Wilson, Daniel Larsson, Andrew Jenkins, Zac Klippel, Will Paton, Alex Lane and Shane Dupille.

But wAit, thERE’s moRE!Under 12 made it a “3peat” by winning

yet another flag when they took out a nail biter against Mount Beauty.

Chasing 99, Tallangatta managed the score with a bit more than an over to spare with dark storm clouds threatening to end the match in Mount Beauty’s favour, and reached 110.

In a division where every player bats and bowls, it was a true team effort. Well

done boys under the care of Jonty Thomas, Mat Oswell and JT. The team was Caelan Carter, Angus Paton, Ethan and Baxter Wilson, Murray and Casey McCabe, James Mansfield, Harry Bosse, Ryan Curphey, Harrison Barton, Sean McErlain and Chad Ried.

Meanwhile, the senior students worked in the Eskdale Memorial Hall with Melbourne-based cartoonist, Brett Cardwell for the day. Brett taught them the basics of cartooning, looking specifically at faces, hands and lines that indicate action and movement.

Aside from the arts-based learning, one of the great benefits of these cluster days is the opportunity for students to build relationships with a wide variety of fellow

students from within the cluster schools. As students reach the senior years of their primary school journey, these relationships become stronger and aide their transition from primary to secondary school, meaning that these days have multiple benefits.
