WENTWORTH Shire residents and rate-payers go to the polls tomorrow to elect a new councillor.

It is a by-election, the result of the former Wentworth Shire and Mildura Rural City Councillor, Sue Nichols, be-ing forced to choose one municipality over another. Previously, Cr Nichols had been Australia’s only councillor serv-ing on two municipalities in different States.

She resigned from the Wentworth Shire in September this year after being forced to choose between her positions by new Victorian Government legisla-tion that prohibits councillors serving on more than one council, or working for MPs.

Following her forced resignation, the Shire had no option but to stage tomor-row’s by-election to fi ll the vacancy.

At the time of her resignation Cr Nich-ols said of the situation: “Quite frankly, had it (the legislation) been brought in at the end of my term, or previously, I

think the ratepayers of both Mildura and Wentworth would have been better served!”

There are three candidates standing to fi ll the seat vacated by Cr Nichols.

One candidate is a familiar face – for-mer councillor Cherie Ribarits. She pre-viously served on the Wentworth Shire as a councillor from 1999 to 2007.

The second candidate is Curlwaa hor-ticulturalist and farmer Steve Heywood.

And the third is retired civil aviation airport manager and former Barossa Re-gional Development Board CEO, and now Paddle Steamer Ruby board chair-man from Pomona, Bill Brook.

It might come as a surprise to vot-ers to learn that Cherie Ribarits is Steve Heywood’s niece, and that he is sitting Councillor Don McKinnon’s brother-in-law.

Food for thought when considering how the election result could impact on the dynamics of debate and decision-making in the Council chamber.

By BEN PISCIONERI

HOUSEBOAT and tour-ism operators dependent on Mildura’s riverfront have fi nally had their prayers answered with work set to begin on long-awaited mooring facilities opposite the Or-namental Lakes Park.

The $366,000 project includes a 110-metre long strip of mooring facilities stretching from the Mil-dura Wharf towards the George Chaffey Bridge.

It will include moor-ing bollards and a 2.5-metre wide concrete walking path allowing much easier and safer ac-cess to houseboats.

Mildura Rural City Councillor for Tourism, Festivals and Events, Mark Eckel, said it was hoped construction would take place after the traditionally busy Christ-mas holiday period, but before Easter, in a bid to minimise disruption to holiday makers and houseboat operators.

Councillors are ex-pected to vote on a pre-ferred contractor at this month’s Council meet-ing, paving the way for the project to proceed.

The only possible de-lay could be the wait for $45,000 in Federal Gov-ernment funding for the project.

Without the Federal funding, Council’s con-tribution of just over $58,000 and $233,280 from Marine Safety Victo-ria, would be enough to fund a 90-metre strip of mooring.

While the Federal funding is all but guar-anteed, it won’t mean the project doesn’t go ahead if, for some reason, it is not received.

“Council has said this is a very important project and it needs to go ahead,” Council’s man-ager for Asset Develop-ment, Allan Morffew said this week.

“If for some reason Federal funding is not available, then we’d go back and look at it and see if we’re happy with 90 metres or if we need to fi nd more funding some-where else.”

If the planned 110-me-

tre mooring goes ahead it would be enough to eas-ily accommodate about nine houseboats.

The plans also include access for the disabled via a ramp which would be installed in place of what is currently the Orna-mental Lakes stream out-let, in the middle of the proposed mooring site.

Cr Eckel said once completed, the mooring facilities would compli-ment what is already a unique tourism precinct.

“The new houseboat moorings and riverfront path and disabled ac-cess, with the Riverfront Performance Venue, play-

ground, picnic tables, and the close proximity of the marina and city centre are creating a pre-mier precinct which will be the envy of houseboat destinations throughout Australia,” he said.

Cr Eckel said house-boat traffi c represented a healthy cash injection for the central business district.

“With today’s dis-cerning visitor, the conve-nience of close proximity to our city is vital for fuel, groceries, entertainment, hotels, wineries, restau-rants and tours,” he said.

Temporary houseboat mooring facilities have

been made available near the Mildura Rowing Club lawns, to ensure house-boat traffi c is still accom-modated during the con-struction phase.

Mildura and Went-worth Houseboat As-sociation Inc. president, Geoff Thomson, said he was pleased to see action was being taken to im-prove conditions at the popular mooring site.

“We support the mooring site, which is something the Associa-tion has been waiting on for quite some time,” Mr Thomson said.

“It will allow access to the central business district for our customers, and private houseboat operators, in a safe man-ner and from an appro-priate location.”

While pleased to see progress being made, Mr Thomson said the Asso-ciation would ideally pre-fer a 150 metre mooring facility, rather than the 110 metres proposed by the Council, an issue that was raised during early discussions.

“We’ve indicated to Council our support in putting together a sub-mission to other authori-ties to gain further fund-ing to achieve this,” he said this week.

The Mildura and Wentworth Houseboat Association Inc. has long been calling for better mooring facilities, based on both safety and con-venience.

OUR community is needlessly tearing itself apart debating plans for a casino it knows nothing about.

This is an increasingly common view held by some of Sunraysia’s political and indus-try leaders, including Member for Mildura Peter Crisp and Mildura Tourism boss Rod Trowbridge.

Mr Crisp this week de-scribed the scenario as a Mexi-can stand-off between the would-be casino developers and the Brumby Government – with Mildura stuck in the middle.

“On one hand the Premier is saying he’s waiting for the community to give its bipar-tisan support,” he said. “But the community don’t have any concrete information on which to make a decision, as the proponents won’t release their plans until the Brumby Government says there’s defi -nitely going to be a casino li-cense granted.

“So we’ve got this Mexican stand-off, and debate on an is-sue without substance.”

The man behind the Mil-dura casino concept, former Federal Hotels Group and Crown Management Pty Ltd chairman, John Haddad, says he won’t reveal his plans until he gains more support from both sides of State politics.

“The fi rst point I’d like to make is that it would be wrong and a total discourtesy to the people of Mildura if I was just going to put the plan in front of them without doing my homework with the Govern-ment and Opposition,” Mr Haddad said yesterday.

“If I came out with this great plan and then two weeks later the Government and the Nationals said they’re not interested, it would be too embarrassing for words and I won’t do that.

“I’ve had informal discus-sions with the Premier to see what his views are. If the Pre-mier had said he’s not interest-ed, that would have been the end of it.

“He said, if it happens it will be with bipartisan sup-port.

“I’ve also had informal discussions with the National

Party and the Liberals, but at this stage nothing formal.”

Mr Haddad indicated the National Party and Opposition indicated to him they wished to see what the Government’s stance was on the issue.

He said he would only re-veal his plans for Mildura in full when he had indications from the National and Liberal Parties that they did not object to his plan in principal.

He also explained his rea-soning for selecting Mildura as the preferred location for Vic-

toria’s second casino.“I’m interested in Mildura

because I’m interested in tour-ism,” he said.

“I see that there’s legisla-tion that says there can be two casinos, so why not use it? Be proactive and do something about it.”

He said there was no use building a second casino in, or close to, Melbourne, describ-ing it as a case of “robbing Pe-ter to pay Paul”.

“So I thought, where else in Victoria?” Mr Haddad said.

“I looked around Victoria and Mildura came out on top.

“That’s because it’s got the basic infrastructure, it can bring people in by air, it’s got the power to attract national and international people.”

Mr Haddad said it was his “considered opinion” that Mil-dura was the best location in Victoria for a second casino.

Mr Crisp responded to Mr Haddad’s comments with a scathing attack on Premier John Brumby, describing him as a ‘fair weather Premier”.

“When it suits him (the Premier), they use their num-bers to put things through Par-liament and when it doesn’t they put it back on the Oppo-sition,” he said yesterday.

“What the Premier’s do-ing is asking the Nationals and Liberals to support in princi-pal something that the public haven’t seen.”

Mildura Tourism chief ex-ecutive, Rod Trowbridge, said the casino debate to date has had little substance and was potentially damaging to the district’s tourism potential.

“We can talk casino, but every time the word casino

comes up, from Mildura Tour-ism’s perspective, it’s just spec-ulation,” he said.

“Yes, a couple of months ago there was a proposal, and it may still be a genuine one, but until there’s something on the table, it’s just speculation.

“At the moment, it’s di-visive, it’s polarising for ab-solutely no reason because there’s nothing to discuss.

“And the real dilemma now is we’re coming up to our plumb tourism months.

“If people coming into the town are aware that there is this level of debate or even this proposal around, and people make the comment to tourism operators, to retailers, ‘what’s happening’?

“The response comes back, ‘We don’t know, we don’t know what’s happening, we don’t even know if something is going ahead or not.’

“It makes the town and the Mildura community look half baked. It makes us look like we don’t know what’s going on.

“This is not the sort of im-age that we want to be giving our visitors during the prime tourist period.”

We’re tearing ourselvesapart for nothing: Crisp

It’s ‘Mildura in the middle’ as our community leaders and others debate the pros and cons of a casino that may never go ahead...

SHARED VIEW: BOTH Member for Mildura Peter Crisp, • RIGHT, and Mildura Tourism chief executive Rod Trowbridge

have expressed concern about the casino debate.

‘Puffi n’ and paddling down the Murray...

JUST over 12 months ago, on November 1, 2008, the Sydney-based Gribble family was shattered by news that James Gribble had suffered a severe spi-nal injury while travelling in Zambia.

The injury left him with voluntary movement only above his shoulders.

Twelve months to the day after that life-chang-ing accident, James’s brother Martin embarked on a fund-raising journey down the Murray River in a kayak in a bid to support his brother, calling it the Puffi n Paddle.

Martin passed through Mildura this week, provid-ing a chance to fi nd out more about his journey.

“My aim is to provide James with world-leading rehabilitation, giving him the best chance of making a full recovery so he can achieve his ultimate goal of walking once again,” the 27-year-old said.

Martin expects his 2200-kilometre journey to take about 60 days and has already had his fair share of challenges along the way.

“When I was paddling near Swan Hill a massive tree branch fell fi ve metres in front of me from about

eight metres up,” he said.“If it had have landed

on me it would have end-ed the journey there and then.”

Each night Martin ei-ther sleeps under the stars on the river bank or in car-avan parks along the river, packing enough food and supplies each time to sus-tain him until the next stop.

Martin said this week’s stage, between Mildura and Renmark, was among the longest without stop-ping for supplies.

When he left Mildura on Wednesday morning he carried with him enough food and water for eight days of travelling.

This included about 10 litres of drinking wa-ter. Those supplies added

about 80 kilograms to his kayak.

Martin said the Puffi n Paddle had provided him with more than a few in-teresting sights.

“I was actually quite surprised by the number of people living along the river in tents – that’s their home,” he said.

“It was also a bit sad to see so much rubbish left

along the river, and in the river, by people.”

Martin said he hoped to complete his journey before Christmas.

People wishing to fol-low his journey or make a donation to help James in his recovery can visit www.puffi nmagic.org.au/paddle or Martin’s blog at http://puffi npaddle.word-press.com/.

MILDURA police are to be issued with the same type of bullet-proof vests currently worn by special operations police in Los Angeles and New York hot spots.

Police command says the new lightweight vest offers the wearer unprecedented levels of protection from sharp objects and weapons, including most fi rearms.

The plan is to start a roll-out of the new vests during December, with all of the State’s

8500 operational po-liceman and policewoman getting their own personal protective jacket within 12 months.

Their launch this week follows extensive trials over the past 12 months. One of the testing offi cers, Senior Constable Kim Olivia of Buninyong said the new vest was comfortable, and pro-vided good access to police equipment.

“I also feel a lot safer.” Sen Const. Olivia said. “Since I got the vest I have worn it every shift, and even with the ballistic panels it is light and easy to wear.

“Response from col-leagues and members of the

p u b l i c has been g o o d . When I am out on the r o a d , many people comment on the highly visible vests… and I have found a lot of offenders have been more compliant.”

Offi cially known as In-tegrated Operational Equip-ment Vests, the vests are per-sonally tailored to individual sizes, and can be worn under or over a uniform. Victoria is the fi rst police force in the nation to opt for the new lightweight vest.

At 7.6kgs, the vests are 4kgs lighter than the current police vests, but still allow police personnel to carry a wide range of operational equipment, including hand-cuffs, radio, additional am-munition, baton and OC spray. They are also designed to cater for additional equip-ment, including extra maga-zine pouch for automatic weapons.

At this week’s launch in Melbourne, Deputy Com-missioner Kieran Walshe said the new vests were part of an

ongoing program designed for the continued health and safety of police.

“Police often fi nd them-selves in volatile situations, coming into contact with people who are armed with knives or fi rearms,” he said.

“The vests will provide police with a high level of ballistic and spike protec-tion, increasing confi dence and the feeling of safety among members. We have tried to make them as com-fortable and as easy to wear as possible so members put on the vest as part of their daily routine.”

Mr Walshe said some members who have been trialling the new vests had commented that their fami-lies now felt far more confi -dent knowing they were out on the road with the latest safety gear.”

It is expected the total cost of the replacement vest program will be around $22 million.

MENTION Queensland’s Cub-bie Station to a lower Darling River irrigator and it’s time to stand well back as the chips start fl ying.

It is not over-stating the fact to say that the station has become infamous... the black-hatted bad guy in a ‘water war’ between States and exacerbat-ed by the prevailing drought.

But, according to Lower Murray Darling Catchment Management Authority chair-man, Mark King, blaming Cubbie Station alone for the lack of water coming down the Darling River was mis-guided and simplistic.

“It is too easy to blame Cubbie Station for all that is wrong in the Darling system at present... particularly at the lower end where we are,” he said.

“But we are talking about a very complex and often times emotive issue...

“Yes, Cubbie does store large amounts of water,” Mr King said referring to the oft-quoted ‘three Sydney har-bours’ comparison. “But we have to remember three im-portant points:

• One. Cubbie is not the

only property in that region storing vast amounts of water, just the one that has been, and continues to be, highlighted most probably because it is a big target – as the largest, pri-vately-owned cotton property in Queensland.

• Two. Cubbie’s annual water ‘harvest’ is closely moni-tored and its owners are doing nothing illegal, but I concede that some people will feel they are able to make a strong moral case against what is happening.

• Three. Queenlsand irri-gators point to the prodigious evaporation from the Men-indee Lakes scheme and are encouraging us to look to our own backyard for water sav-ings and effi ciencies.”

Cubbie director John Grabbe told Mr King, and oth-ers making an inspection of the Darling River system earli-er this year, that “a lot of peo-ple condemn Cubbie without knowing all the facts”.

Mr Grabbe said he could understand the pain of down-stream irrigators and their communities, but there had been “no rational debate to date” on the issue of water in the Darling system and it was time to look at the “true sci-

ence” of water extraction and use.

“Irrigators up here don’t want to ruin everything,” he said. “I have no idea how to solve the issues downstream, but we certainly have to look at where any money for this could be best spent.”

He pointed to the Men-indee Lakes and described the evaporation there as “very bad”.

“That’s where the water should be saved,” Mr Grab-be said.

Speaking this week fol-lowing the LMD CMA’s re-lease of a report on the fact-fi nding mission undertaken in May this year, Mr King said the “aerial reconnais-sance” had been a real eye-opener.

Accompanied on the tour by LMD CMA staffers and Lower Darling irrigators, Mr King described the tour as “very worthwhile”.

The tour group fl ew direct from Mildura to St George in Queensland, over outer Sunraysia’s cropping op-erations before passing over Mungo and then deeper into the pastoral country of New South Wales’ far west.

As the tour progressed,

It has become notorious... the ‘big bad wolf’ of the water battle between Queensland and is oversimplifying a very complex and often emotive issue it is

New South Wales, but blaming a single farming operation for all the ills of the Darling River being claimed. So now the call has gone out...

Cubbie alonethe fl ight path took the group over the dryland farming ar-eas about Cobar, and then onto the irrigated farming op-erations of the Darling catch-ment in the Dirrandbandi/St George region of Queens-land.

“We were amazed at the number, and size, of the on-farm water storages for irriga-tion operations in southern Queensland and as far down-stream into NSW as Bourke,” Mr King said.

“This brought sharply into focus just how many more properties other than Cubbie Station, from Bourke in New South Wales up into southern Queensland, are also storing large amounts of water.”

After landing, the group toured the St George irriga-tion area that totals about 12,000 hectares with the tightly held farms usually in the 600 to 700 hectare range.

Amongst the properties the group was surprised to discover 12 grape properties, ranging in size from two hect-ares to more than 300, and totalling about 525 hectares.

It was here that the group

fi rst experienced what was to become a commonly voiced sentiment on their tour – that Queenslanders feel a strong entitlement to irrigate despite

the fact that irrigation devel-opment started much later than downstream; and that they believe the evaporation from the Menindee Lakes

represents an enormous waste of water that needs to be addressed.

IT’S a term often used in sport to describe the silky skills of a sport-sperson swinging their bat, club or racquet to great effect, but yester-day ‘sweet timing’ took on a very different meaning in Mildura.

Yesterday was the offi cial open-ing of the Christie Centre’s new Mildura Chocolate Factory, the event timed to coincide with the International Day for People with Disability. That is sweet timing!

The opening was a wonderful celebration of new beginnings, and the promotion of people’s abilities and potential.

The idea for a chocolate mak-ing business in Mildura was the brainchild of recycling success story Aroundagain manager, Kris-ter Jonsson, who enthusiastically ‘sold the idea’ to the management of Mildura’s Christie Centre.

A business plan was prepared, the chocolate melting machine ordered from Italy, raw chocolate purchased from Kennedy and Wil-son in the Yarra Valley, and a search for a ‘home’ initiated.

After months of looking, the ideal shop front in 10th Street was found, and refurbished with the help of volunteers, all in time for yesterday’s grand opening.

Krister said that now that an idea had become a reality, what it really meant was new jobs for workers with a disability.

Workers from Aroundagain,

the Christie Centre’s recycling showpiece at the Mildura Landfi ll, have been multi-skilled and are now able to operate the chocolate tempering machine and to pour the liquid chocolate into a variety of moulds.

Once that is done, ‘Life Skills

On Pine’ workers take over, pack-aging the chocolates and delivering them to businesses throughout the CBD.

Krister said he had been heart-ened by the interest and support he had received from the business, tourism and hospitality sectors.

“They have all shown a keen in-terest in supporting Mildura Choc-olate Co.,” he said.

And how will the business go?“The proof will be in the taste,”

Krister said. “But I am sure that one taste of these delicious chocolates and they will sell themselves!”

You can fi nd the shop front out-let for the range of Mildura Choco-late Company goodies at 141 10th Street, opposite Cafe Pronto.

The new store is expected to be open about three days a week initially but that could go to fi ve if there is enough demand.

Sweet timing forfactory opening

JOHN Turvey where are you? Ditto Graham Danoon. Or is that Graeme?

They’re the two missing faces that, if found, would make an upcoming class re-union complete.

To date, 43 of the 45 Grade 3/Grade 4 students from Gol Gol Public School in 1957 have been accounted for.

Now it is time to make a public appeal in an effort

to find the missing pair, ac-cording to co-organiser Kaye Roberts.

“We have accounted for everyone else... sadly includ-ing five that are deceased,” she said. “But we haven’t been able to find this pair.”

And it’s not for a lack of trying. For the past six months Kaye has been dili-gently searching out her for-mer classmates.

Not surprisingly those who live locally have been the easiest to find... with

some she, and fellow or-ganiser Danny Cotching still run into from time to time.

But others have been more elusive, taking more time and effort to find. For the past six to seven months Kaye has been using re-

sources like the Internet, telephone books, and pick-ing the brains of fellow class-mates, and their families, to track down the Class of ‘57.

But her enterprise has paid off, and to date invita-tions for the reunion, to be

held in April 2010, have gone out to former classmates liv-ing right around our wide brown land, and as far afield as the United States!

June’s Buronga/Gol Gol reunion was a rich ‘mine of information’, Kaye said.

“We passed the photo around and got some good leads.”

So too was a ‘dry run re-union’ held earlier this year for 10 or a dozen ex-students at the Gol Gol Hotel.


Planning is well in hand for a school class reunion at Gol Gol next year, but organisers are having trouble finding two...

MERBEIN and Red Cliffs Secondary College students will have an oppor-tunity to broaden their cultural ho-rizons in the near future, after both schools signed a sister-agreement with the Dali Number One Middle School, located in the Yunnan Prov-ince in China.

The agreement will see Sunraysia strengthen its ties to the Dali region, with Mildura Rural City Council similarly forming a strong relation-ship with the area in recent years.

Red Cliffs and Merbein Second-ary College principals David Browne and Garry Costello said they were ex-cited to participate in the agreement, which is set to see students benefi t from annual exchanges.

“As a school we are very excited by this opportunity,” Mr Costello said. “I’ve been involved with sister-school relationships in the past, and the benefi ts are numerous.”

Mr Brown and Mr Costello were both part of the group to make the trip to Dali last month to sign the offi cial agreement, saying that they’d been delighted with the initial relation-ship formed.

“The benefi ts for our students are going to be incredi-ble,” Mr Brown said. “From a cultural stand-point it was a real eye-opener, and it was incredible to see fi rst-hand what the Dali province has to offer.

“As part of this agreement our students will have the opportunity to learn new languages, and experience a culture completely different to their own, and I’m excited and proud that our school can be a part of it.”

Mr Costello was similarly ex-cited by the agreement, saying that students could benefi t greatly from experiencing the many sights and sounds of another country.

“After visiting the area I have no doubt that China is an emerging na-tion, and Dali especially has a great mix of modern and the more tradi-tional Chinese culture,” he said.

“There are going to be some wonderful op-portunities for our kids to experience a fantas-tic part of Asia, and for students from Dali to experience life here in Australia.

“I’m very excited by the opportu-nities being made available, and can’t wait to start putting some defi nite plans and programs into action.”

Both principals were joined by their respective school council presi-dents on the trip, with representa-tives from the Department of Educa-tion and Mildura Rural City Council

also attending.All three schools signed the offi -

cial agreement on November 11, with principal Mr Lui representing the Dali Number One Middle School.

Mr Costello said now that initial “contact” had been made, it was only a matter of time before offi cial times and dates could be put in place for student exchanges.

“The groundwork is there, and while the nuts and bolts of these ex-changes haven’t been fi nalised, I’m confi dent that we’ll be able to send students sometime next year,” he said.

“At the moment we’re looking at September or October, which is where students from all three schools would suffer the least disruption.”

Mr Browne said he hoped the relationship could be expanded to include teacher exchanges, ensuring that everyone involved could reap the benefi ts.

“The fi rst step has been taken, and the next one is obviously to es-tablish student exchanges,” he said. “Ideally I’d love to see teachers from

both here and Dali take part in ex-changes as well, and experience teaching in another country.”

Mr Browne said that the relation-ship was also a chance to strengthen ties with Merbein Secondary Col-lege.

“Our students, namely those who take part in exchanges, will probably spend a fair amount of time togeth-er, so there is certainly a chance for bonds to form between students,” he said.

“Everyone involved is just excit-ed to get the ball rolling now that the agreement is offi cial, and we’re look-ing forward to what we hope will be a long and highly benefi cial relation-ship for all three schools.”

Historic sister-school agreement signed off

The educational and cultural rewards will be enormous its proponents claim as...

From Page 12•

It was a roaring success, with those at-tending agreeing to pursue the event and helping out with some intense brainstorm-ing about fellow students and how to track them down.

Danny said he will not have seen many of the faces that are expected at next year’s event for decades, and in some cases as many as 45 years.

“Gol Gol was a very different place in 1957,” he recalls. “Just a few houses, most of them shacks really, a couple of horse paddocks, the pub, the store and the school.”

“The present school is on the same land, but only one classroom of the original sur-vives. The school that we went to was de-molished to make way for the one that is there now,” Danny said.

He says the present school is certain to surprise a few of the former students.

Speaking about the students of 1957, Danny said most came from the horticul-tural properties along the Murray River from Monak to Buronga.

There were also some whose parents were rabbit trappers, Danny recalls.

Gol Gol Public School in 1957 had class-es from Kindergarten to Grade 6, and “four or fi ve regular teachers”, Kaye recalls.

The pair remembers that core of teach-ers was supplemented by several relief teachers over the years.

The teacher in the 1957 photo is one David Moxon, a fi rm favourite amongst the students, especially the girls who thought he looked like Rock Hudson!

Danny, who is planning the event itiner-ary, said preparations are well in hand and should be completed in coming weeks and a copy will be dispatched to potential at-tendees as soon as possible.

“We want to give people, especially those living away, plenty of time to plan

a return to Gol Gol for the reunion,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kaye said invitations for the reunion, set down for April 17, 18 and 19 next year, had already gone out to those the organisers have addresses for and

more will go out in the weeks to come as more addresses become available.

“Now we want to fi nd John and Gra-ham (or Graeme or-ganisers are not cer-tain how he spelled his fi rst name) so we

can invite them too,” she said.Anyone with information about either

of the ‘missing’ men can contact Kaye on 0409 408 588.

WENTWORTH was in the frame last week as Mel-bourne artist Cathy Van Ee and one of the town’s resi-dent artists, Steve Hederics, committed historic town-ship landmarks and sur-rounding natural features to canvas.

They dubbed the chal-lenge, ‘Wentworth in a Week’, and set about cre-ating a number of works each that now hang as an exhibition in the Artback Australia gallery on the corner of Darling and Ad-elaide Streets.

“The last week has been a great opportunity for Steve and Cathy to discuss their different techniques and approaches to painting while collaborate together for an exhibition,” Art-back’s Anne Hederics, said.

Cathy is a full time portrait and landscape painter, who was keen to experience and paint iconic Wentworth sites including junction of the Darling and Murray Rivers.

The Artback Gallery currently features a variety of paintings, drawings, tex-tiles and photography by a group of artists that meets whenever time allows, usu-ally working in a bush en-vironment, close to nature.

The results of Steve and Cathy’s week of producing paintings in, and around Wentworth, will be on show at the Artback Gallery/Café today, tomorrow and Sun-day from 10am till 4pm.

STRAWBERRIES and cream for a good cause. It’s a combination that’s hard to beat, but that is ex-actly what the organis-er’s of the annual Mur-ray House Strawberry Fete are counting on for tomorrow!

Timed to start at 11am, the Fete will, of course, fea-ture strawberries and cream as well as some other ‘taste bud ticklers’ including Devonshire teas, a barbecue, cakes and lots of fresh pro-duce.

There will also be a pleth-ora of Christmas gift ideas and goodies, a trash and treasure sale, teddy bear display and competition, and Ivy Barber’s cook book will be on sale.

It is Murray House’s most important fund-raiser of the year and everyone is invited.

The Fete will be centred on the Wentworth Memo-rial Rooms complex in Darling Street and run through till 3pm.

MAYBE it’s just a sign of the times, but Victoria seems to have gone sign crazy.

One of our eagle-eyed staffers decided to do a com-parison on signage on the border area separating South Australia and Victoria.

Regular travellers along the Sturt Highway leading to and from Yamba would probably have noticed, but for the record, there’s just four major signs introduc-ing travellers to South Aus-tralia – including one advis-ing of the fruit fl y roadblock up ahead, but coming into Victoria there’s a total of 21 signs!

And all within the space of a kilometre.

Of course you would ex-pect a ‘Welcome to Victoria’ sign (covered in graffi ti and pale in comparison to the “Welcome to SA’ signage), and there are the necessary advice that motorists are en-tering a 110kph speed zone… followed by another sign a short distance away telling us that State highway speed limits are 100kph unless oth-er limits are posted.

Then it starts to get a little ridiculous.

A double sign warns fi rst-ly that motorists are likely to encounter slow moving farm machinery on the road (ob-viously motorists can’t work it out for themselves), and there’s a warning that there’s to be no burning off without a written permit from Mil-dura Rural City Council.

Motorists are warned about speed and red light cameras (we’re several hun-dred kilometres away from the nearest red light cam-era), and we’re advised that

driver drug tests are conducted in Victoria.

There’s two emergency num-bers just in case you happen to hit, or come across, injured wildlife, and just after a border rest stop, motorists are advised that the next 90 kilo-metres is a fatigue zone, and they should rest if tired.

There’s another sign that warns that roadwork speed limits are enforced in Victo-ria (which SA is deadly on, but actually far more relaxed in Victoria), and then there’s the sign advising you of the need for a fi shing licence if you are heading for the river, 116 kilometres away.

There’s a host of other signs, probably just erected to fi ll in space between more signs. All shapes, sizes and colours too. We’re wonder-ing if the number of signs could be distracting to mo-torists, and how many of them are actually absolutely necessary.

Not a good sign…

John Silvester is one of the most recognisable and respected names in Australian journalism and publishing circles… not to mention the Melbourne underworld!He has written, edited and published more than 30 crime books - including the best selling Underbelly series with co-author and fellow respected crime reporter Andrew Rule.Silvester’s work was used as the basis for the top rating Underbelly television series on Melbourne’s Gangland War. The series was initially banned in Victoria because of ongoing criminal cases before the courts, but was freely available in the rest of Australia, and became an instant hit, following on from the best-seller book.An accomplished public speaker, he started his journalistic career at the Sun and Herald sun, was appointed Sun police reporter in 1980, Chief Police Reporter a year later and was an investigate reporter with that newspaper from 1986-1993. He then moved to the Age, where he is still employed, and is also a crime commentator on Radio 3AW as ‘Sly of the Underworld.’

Silvester has studied crime and corruption in South East Asia, and has worked with the London Sunday Times Insight team.

He was a Walkley Award state finalist in 1988 and 1996, a national finalist in 2003 and a winner, for best use of the medium, in 2004. He has won numerous awards at the Melbourne Press Club Quill Awards and the Victorian Law Foundation, and was awarded the Ned Kelly Award in 2000 for the Best True Crime Book (for ‘Underbelly’) and the 2005 Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award. Silvester has also been called on to give evidence at criminal Royal Commissions, and

is regularly interviewed by the electronic media as an expert on crime in Victoria.He is a regular speaker at police and other legal functions including the Police Officers College, homicide squad, arson squad, surveillance branch, special operations group and the criminal bar association.He also does extensive work as a speaker for corporate groups and at functions in the financial sector, major law firms, media companies and sporting associations.

CARL Williams’ rise from middle-ranked drug dealer to heavyweight killer should never have happened. His plans for revenge and con-trolling a major drug syndi-cate should have collapsed when he was arrested in slapstick circumstances six weeks after he was shot by the Morans.

For Broadmeadows po-lice it began as a low-level fraud investigation, and ended as a $20 million drug bust. The fraud involved a local family accruing credit card debts with no intention of repaying, then changing their names to obtain new cards to repeat the scam.

On the morning of No-vember 25, 1999, police ar-rived at a housing commis-sion home in Fir Close to serve related arrest warrants, but no one was home.

Later that day Detective Sergeant Andrew Balsillie was passing, and noticed two

cars at the house. He recalled his team to issue the warrants and, after bursting in, found a pill press, 30,000 tablets (almost certainly the Moran pills that had been returned to be re-pressed) and nearly seven kilograms of speed val-ued at $20 million. Carl Wil-liams was found hiding in a bed upstairs, and his father George in another room, in which a loaded Glock semi-automatic pistol was later found.

Local police rightly chose to run it by the book and called the amphetamine ex-perts from the drug squad. They were not to know that the two detectives, Malcolm Rosenes and Stephen Paton, were corrupt and would later be jailed. While there was no suggestion they interfered with the investigation, the

Supreme Court later decided that several drug cases, in-cluding Williams’, should be delayed until the detectives’ prosecutions were complet-ed.

It was while Williams was on bail for those (and other) drug charges that he organised the underworld murders.

If the drug cases had not been delayed, Williams would have been jailed for at least four years, unable to carry out a homicidal vendet-ta. While inside jail for near-ly two months on remand, Williams began planning his fi rst attack, and started re-cruiting his team.

One of the fi rst to join was Andrew “Benji” Venia-min, the former kickboxer and gunman who once ido-lised Carlton identity Mick Gatto, a man who for de-cades has cast one of the big-gest shadows in Melbourne’s underworld.

Shot in the stomach by a drug-dealing rival, he recovered to spree began. Award-winning Age investigative

www.sunraysiaonline.com.au 4/12/09 - Mildura Weekly 17 become a big shot himself, and the name Carl Williams was a name to be feared as the Melbourne underworld killing journalist and author JOHN SILVESTER continues his story. This week he tells about the…

dealer turnedto be feared...

Williams saw Gatto, who was affi liated with the Morans but not involved in the squabble over drugs, as a potentially powerful enemy. Williams thought that if he killed the Moran brothers, established un-derworld fi gures, including Gatto, would seek revenge. He decided his best chance of survival was not to jump at shadows but cast a bigger one, so he launched a hos-tile takeover.

Initially, Williams was outnumbered and in no position to take on the Moran brothers, let alone contemplate plans for gangland domination. Wil-liams was fi nally bailed on his drug charges on January 22, 2000. Three days later Jason Moran was jailed for affray and sentenced to 20 months’ jail. Mark Moran had lost his closest ally and was now hopelessly ex-posed.

Five months later, on June 15, Mark Moran was killed outside his Aber-feldie home. More driven than Jason and less erratic, he had, until then, man-aged to keep a lower pro-fi le. When his death was re-ported he was referred to as a local football star rather than an underworld iden-tity. But police knew it was a gangland hit.

In the hours before his death, Mark Moran had been busy. First he had giv-en drugs to a dealer at the Gladstone Park Shopping Centre, 800 metres from where he and his brother had shot Williams the pre-vious year. The dealer was short of cash, and Moran agreed to give him credit. Few people were stupid enough to try and rip off the Morans.

Mark Moran drove home, received a phone call and left for a second meet-ing. On returning he was blasted with a shotgun as he stepped out of his Com-modore. Williams was the gunman, and his getaway driver would later be im-

plicated in another three murders.

Police later established that Williams had only been waiting 10 minutes when Moran returned. It smelled of an ambush. Mo-ran’s natural father, Leslie John Cole, was shot dead in similar circumstances in Sydney - ambushed outside his home - 18 years earlier. Mark’s stepfather, Lewis Moran, was drinking in a north-western suburban hotel when he heard of the shooting. Immediately he called for a council of war at his home. The Moran kitch-en cabinet discussed who they believed was respon-sible, and how they should respond. The Morans, never short of enemies, narrowed the fi eld to three. Williams and his team was by no means the favourite. “We still didn’t know we were in

a war,” a Moran insider later said.

For Williams it was the beginning, and for the Mo-rans it was the beginning of the end. Much later Lewis Moran, said to still hold the fi rst dollar he ever stole, tried to take out a contract on Williams but he would only offer $40,000. There were no takers. There were seven men at the meeting at Moran’s home. Five are now dead. In the case of Mark’s death, police sus-pected Williams from the start, so much so that his house was raided the next day. But internal police poli-tics terminally damaged the investigation. Members of the drug squad, who had worked on the Morans for years, deliberately concealed information from the ho-micide squad because they believed their investigation

was more important than a murder probe they thought would fail. Their prediction was self-fulfi lling.

Police and the under-world expected that when Jason Moran was released from prison he would go after Williams. But when he was freed on September 5, 2001, Williams was back inside on remand, having been charged in with traf-fi cking 8000 ecstasy tablets. The parole board let Moran go overseas because of fears for his life, while Williams continued to recruit from a small area fi lled with po-tential killers - Port Phillip Prison.

Once the man known as ‘The Runner’ decided to accept Carl Williams’ offer, they celebrated with a quiet drink inside the prison’s Swallow Unit.

According to ‘The Run-

ner,’ it was there that Wil-liams fi rst asked him to kill Jason Moran. Moran had been spotted in London by one of the Williams team (the ‘Lieutenant’) and, un-wisely, decided to return, even though he must have known his life was still in danger.

Williams was not content with one hit team and con-tinued to recruit inside and out of prison. He looked to relatives, close friends and hardened gunmen whose loyalty he thought he could demand, or at least buy. Wil-liams knew that ‘The Runner,’ no pin-up boy for prisoner rehabilitation programs, was soon to be released af-ter serving his sentence for armed robbery. He was good with guns, and ruthless.

THE fi rst Mildura Human Rights Festival will kick-off next Monday, December 7, with a number of com-munity events planned for the week-long event.

The festival is a community event aimed at promoting social inclusion and community connectedness, with activities designed to both celebrate and raise human rights awareness.

The festival is a joint ven-ture between the Department of Justice and various local agencies and organisations, with the festival to kick off next Monday with a ‘Family Food Festival’ from 6pm to 7pm at the Mildura Sound-shell.

On Tuesday, December 8, guest speaker Anna Hyland will host a Hu-man Rights Awareness talk at the Al-fred Deakin Centre from 10am, with a fi lm festival to also be held at the Deakin Cinema from 12pm to 2pm.

Wednesday, December 9, will see the Deakin Cinema host a free public viewing of the movie ‘Balibo’, which follows the true story of fi ve Austra-lian journalists killed in East Timor while covering human rights viola-tions and crimes committed by the Indonesian military.

The military at the time had been

conducting a terror and destabilisa-tion campaign within the region, with the aim to generate atrocities that could be falsely attributed to pro-independent East Timorese forc-es, and as a result allow the Indone-sian hierarchy to order an invasion to “restore order”.

Had the journalists obtained footage of the military campaign

they would have blown the military’s story.

On Thursday, December 10, a civic reception will be held in the Council Rooms, before arguably the main event of the festival takes place on Friday, December 11, and Satur-day, December 12.

On these days the Old Mildura Homestead will play host to an Ox-fam developed simulation project called ‘Refugee Realities’, a combined exhibition and simulation exercise that allows people to walk in the shoes of a refugee.

Participants cross an internation-al border, learning to live in a refugee

camp, with the free event designed to give community members a fi rst-person experience and perspective.

Mildura Manager of Justice Ser-vices Rudy Kirby, one of the organis-ers of the event, said that Friday’s ses-sion was already booked out, with more than 500 secondary school stu-dents taking part.

“While I haven’t been a part of the experience person-ally, I’ve heard fan-tastic reviews from those who have tried it,” he said. “While Friday’s session is already booked, there are still spots available for Saturday.

“This simula-tion is going to be a real eye-opener,

demonstrating what refugees go through when they seek asylum.

“As a society we hear about refu-gees through the media, but more of-ten than not those events are fi ltered, and not everything is reported.

“This simulation allows partici-pants to experience a refugee’s life up-close, and as a result gain a better perspective of what they go through. While it may prove confronting in areas, personally I can’t wait to see what it is all about.”

More information on the festival, or any of the above events, is avail-able by contacting Glenda on 5021 7492.

Human Rights Festival activities promise to be real ‘eye-openers’

AS many farmers strug-gle with another year of dry seasons, new tech-nology may signifi cantly boost the soil’s capacity to provide water to plant roots – increasing crop yields by more than 60 per cent.

The system has been developed by agricultur-al scientists at La Trobe University in conjunc-tion with soil scientists from the Victorian De-partment of Primary In-dustry. The project was funded by the Australian Research Council. Called Subsoil Manuring, it in-corporates high rates of organic nitrogen-rich material into the upper layers of dense clay sub-soils.

These soils, known as Sodosols, are wide-spread across grain-growing areas in south east and south west Aus-tralia.

Dr Peter Sale, Head of the La Trobe Univer-sity research team, said studies at two sites over three successive crops

(between 2005 - 2008) have found that while the technology is expen-sive, the rewards for sus-tainable crop produc-tion are also large.

The results of the technology have been demonstrated on wheat and canola crops in western Victoria. “For example, the incorpo-ration of 20 tonnes per hectare of lucerne pellets at a depth of 30-40 cm at

Ballan resulted in yield increases of more than 60 per cent for three suc-cessive crops,” he said.

“Research carried out in September 2009, more than four years af-ter the organic material was incorporated in the subsoil, reveals that the tilth and aggregation in the clay subsoil has been substantially improved, indicating the method seems to have a long-lasting effect.”

Dr Sale says the transformation of the subsoil’s physical and chemical properties is most likely due to an increase in bacterial and fungal activity in the subsoil.

“Improving the physical properties in the subsoil enables the crop roots to enter and explore the clay and ex-tract soil water in these layers - water that would otherwise not have been available to the crop,” he said.

The researchers are now evaluating the tech-

nology in a higher rain-fall zone in south west Victoria. This is being done with the aid of funds from the Grains Research and Develop-ment Corporation.

Two weeks ago, at sites at Winchelsea and Derrinallum there were real differences in the colour of the crop. The control plots were yel-low and mature, says Dr Sale, while those using the new technology of deep organic treatments were still green and growing.

“This indicates that the crops on the deep organic plots are able to continue growing and extract water from the subsoil. Higher yields will certainly be expect-ed from these plots,” he said.

Other members of the research team are Dr Jaikirat Gill and Profes-sor Caixian Tang from La Trobe University, and Dr Renick Peries from the Victorian Department of Primary Industry.

Mooring breakthroughFrom page 3•

“Firstly, those mooring posts have been there for probably 25 years and they only allow for three our four vessels comfort-ably,” Mr Thomson said.

“This new mooring facility will mean we can fi t a lot more vessels in there.

“Secondly, with the advent of much bigger vessels now, they draw much more water, are heavier and some don’t reach the bank safely because the wa-ter is too shallow in that loca-tion at the moment.

“Finally, there’s the safety as-pect. The river bank can become degraded, which can make get-ting on and off vessels diffi cult. This mooring facility will stop any degradation of the bank.”

Mr Thomson said the one is-sue in need of clarifi cation was how long boats could stay at the site.

“The time limit is still un-clear. We understand Council wanted a shorter time to stop long-term moorings, but the Association’s position was that 24 hours was reasonable,” he said.

MILDURA Harness Racing Club President Barry Bot-tams has received the high-est accolade a volunteer can receive within the sport, awarded the Association of Victorian Country Harness Racing Clubs’ Volunteer Recognition Award.

The 64-year-old, who has been involved with har-ness racing since the age of 18, said that while he was surprised and shocked to win, he was also equally honoured.

“To be honest I had no idea that I’d been nomi-nated, let along that I was going to win,” he said. “My entire family, and the Mil-dura Harness Racing com-mittee knew, but I had no idea.

“I’m very honoured, and I think it’s a fantastic recog-nition of the work the entire Mildura Harness Club com-mittee, not just myself, has put into the sport locally.”

Presented with the award in Melbourne, Barry said he had started to be-come suspicious after he re-alised his entire family had made the trip with him.

“Even my 85-year-old mother came to Mel-bourne,” he said. “I started to fi gure out something was going on when I saw mum there.”

Barry was nominated by Mildura Harness Racing Club secretary Mark Kemp, who said that he had “all of the qualities” the industry sought in its leaders, includ-ing “loyalty, honesty, expe-rience and a hard-working attitude.”

He stated in a letter to the selection panel that Bar-ry’s voluntary efforts within the sport had been numer-ous, including dedicating countless hours to working bees and committee meet-ings, while fulfi lling vital roles for the organisation including stints as a mo-

bile driver, farrier, track at-tendant and bookmaker’s supervisor.

Barry’s love and passion for harness racing started with his father, Luke Bot-tams, who introduced his son to the sport at an early age.

“Dad always had a love of horses, and would often go and have a punt,” Barry said. “We didn’t have televi-sion or anything like that back in those days, so I used to tag along for a bit of fun.

“My interest quickly grew, and every time Dad would go to the harness rac-ing I would go with him.”

It was an interest that quickly became a passion,

with Barry taking out a trainer/driver licence in the 1960s. He has rarely been without a horse since, driv-ing a number of winners in Broken Hill, Wentworth and Mildura during his career.

And while feeling that winning rush quickly be-came something he loved, it was training horses where Barry found his true pas-sion.

Barry was introduced to driver Keith Addison in the early 1970s, attending Keith’s stables and helping to job horses. He quickly found himself under Keith’s tutelage, learning a lot from the man who would later win the World Driver’s Championship in 1975.

In 1983 Barry formed a partnership with Dr Ter-ry Cook, purchasing two mares, ‘Isle Wynette’ and ‘Lisa Wynette’, for breeding purposes. Two of the foals,

‘Olympic Peace’ and ‘Gold-en Gate’, went on to great success, which included wins at Harold Park under Sydney trainer Glen Frost.

Barry’s stature contin-ued to grow during the 1980s and 1990s, with the veteran associated with some of the region’s more successful horses, includ-ing ‘Jeffs Doll’, ‘Magic Mo-ment’, ‘Can Opener’ and ‘Pendadoll’.

With his success also came the desire to give something back to the sport, with Barry joining the Mil-dura Harness Racing Club’s committee 34 years ago, a role he still holds today as the club’s longest running president (12 years).

And while it’s a sport that has been good to him, Barry said he could see tough times ahead if younger members didn’t start taking on more re-sponsibilities, especially on the Harness Club Commit-tee.

“It’s getting harder to fi nd volunteers,” he said. “I was 20-years-old when I fi rst started helping out, and you don’t see many 20-year-old committee members nowadays.

“Most of the current committee, including my-self, has been there for a long time now, and we can only keep doing the job for so long.

“I would love to see more youngsters involved with the committee, and I think it’s important that more of them start getting involved with the organisa-tional side of the sport.”

Barry said that his pas-sion for harness racing was still as strong as ever, and that he planned to con-tinue his involvement both as a trainer and committee member for as long as pos-sible.

“I don’t think I’ll ever lose the passion,” he said. “And I would love to keep

doing what I’m doing for-ever.

“I know that the day will come where I will have to step aside, but hopefully that day is a long way off.

“After so many years I still love the sport, and am looking forward to what the furture holds for both the Mildura Harness Racing Club, and the sport in gen-eral.”

State volunteer honour for Barry

They don’t award these lightly, but there is probably no-one more deserving...

“I would love to see more youngsters

involved with the committee...”

From Page 9•

On the fl oodplains below St George the holdings be-come much larger and include substantial above ground stor-ages to catch the maximum water allocated.

A case in point was 8500-hectare of ‘Balonne Plains’ where the rule of thumb is 6000 megalitres of stored water for each 1200 hectares.

There is artesian water in the area, but farmers fi nd the costs involved in its extraction are much higher than drawing on river supplies.

The tour group also found that farmers in the area had banded together about 15 years ago as ‘Smart Rivers’, to defend claims that they were taking more water than they are entitled to.

And the group developed a water management plan for the area after the Queensland Government applied the pres-sure, telling them their water extraction was unsustainable.

Smart Rivers remains po-litically active to retain mem-bers’ allocations, continually working to prove the Balonne River has one of the highest fl ows of any watercourse in the area and with a relatively low level of development.

The right of Queensland irrigators to draw the water they are from the Darling catchment was reiterated when the group toured Cub-bie Station.

The Cubbie Group is an amalgamation of two family farms – Cubbie and Blache – with 80,000 hectares in all and 19,000 given over to ir-rigation.

According to the CMA report, the farm is valued at more than $460million and the group’s extraction from

the Condamine-Balonne sys-tem is 20 to 25 percent of the total licensed extractions.

The company has an an-nual average cotton crop of 180,000 bales, selling for be-tween $500 and $600 dollars a bale, plus cereal crop returns totalling about $100million.

There is no doubt it is big business, but the returns have to be balanced against the farm’s massive costs.

The tour group was told that the development of the property to date has seen about 100 million cubic me-tres of dirt shifted, and in 1995-96 for example, the company was using 11 D10 bulldozers to build channels and banks and consuming $1million worth of diesel a month! That was more vol-ume than that used by Bris-bane City Council during the same period.

Even though the farm’s storage facilities are only full about once a decade, main-tenance of the earthworks is continuous with some con-tractors having been working on Cubbie for the past 10 to 15 years.

Mr Grabbe suggested to the group during its tour that if every irrigator in the Murray

Darling Basin took a 10 to 20 percent cut in entitlements, many of the current challeng-es could be overcome.

He claimed the Balonne was the second healthiest catchment in the system, and that Cubbie had the data to prove it.

What was happening downstream, he contended, was not a result of what he and his fellow farmers were doing in Queensland.

However, Culgoa-based Lower Balonne Floodplain As-sociation chairman, Ed Fessey, did not agree when he spoke to the group soon after.

His association represents dryland farmers feeling the pinch because, they argue, the water that used to fl ood out over 100,000 to 150,000 hect-ares in their area for stock feed no longer does.

He told the group there was a million hectares of fl oodplain in New South Wales just north of Brewarrina and about 200,000 hectares on the Queensland side.

“We are noticing less land is being fl ooded since the 1980s when the higher extrac-tions began upstream,” he said.

Mr Fessey said the main issues for his members were the continued supply of stock and domestic water, the heavy allocations granted upstream, the low fl ow scenario and the resulting cost to downstream communities.

Without the fl ooding that occurred prior to the 1980s, farm businesses were becom-ing increasingly unsustainable on the fl oodplain, he said.

“I’m not against irrigation, but we need (water) penetra-tion to the south... and it’s not only Cubbie – a number of properties in the region have huge infl ows.”

If you have family or friends that own a block in Sunraysia, then this is the perfect personalised gift!

By ALAN ERSKINE

MILDURA has been invited to promote itself on the glo-bal stage with an involve-ment in two unique and widely-publicised Armed Forces projects next year – one in Adelaide and the other in Brisbane.

A casual talk during a fi shing trip off the coast of Yorke Peninsula earlier this year has led to Mildura con-nections pursuing the idea with Mildura Rural City Council and tourism au-thorities.

On the fi shing trip and offering the opportunity to Mildura was the ex-Army Brigadier-General who is helping coordinate the in-ternational events, and he believes there is opportunity for Mildura and its products – especially tourism based around the river – to be included for minimal cost, and maximum exposure.

The fi rst event, a global robotic ‘hide, seek and de-stroy’ contest that carries a fi rst prize of $1 million, has many parts that are classi-fi ed, but the second, a land warfare conference in Bris-bane, is ‘open slather.’

As well as being in regu-lar touch with the Army re-search and development ex-pert who is organising both

events, the Mildura man trying to clinch the deal has strong connections to a major sponsor of the land warfare conference, which is open to academics, com-mercial groups, research organizations and military from around the world.

Joining this sponsor is Thales Australia, the Queen-sland, Victorian, Northern Territory and SA Govern-ments and DIEHL Defence group.

Television rights for the conferences were signed off only a few weeks ago.

Early-bird registration for Brisbane has started, and according to organisers, dis-play stands are being quick-ly snapped up by companies from around Australia, and the world. Registration fee for a stand at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre is around $1300, with the delegate fee set at

$300 a person.Closer to the conference,

a late fee will apply, rising from $300 to $400, with a late fee (if accepted) after September of $500.

A briefi ng on the robot-ic challenge, called Magic 2010 (Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic Interna-tional Challenge) and the Land Warfare Conference has been sent to the Mayor of Mildura, Cr Glenn Milne, major events staff, and Rod Trowbridge from Mildura Tourism. Mr Trowbridge and a major events staffer have responded to say the idea is worthy of more investiga-tion to see how it could ben-efi t Mildura tourism.

This event is already in the advanced stages of plan-ning, with the organising group fl ying to various parts of the world over the past year to brief Governments and military organizations.

The Mildura Weekly has been told that the event at-tracted several dozen en-tries, and a shortlist of 10 entrants, including fi ve from the United States, has now been culled to the fi ve fi nal-ists who will go head to head in the unique challenge, which is being sponsored by research and development groups with military and government connections in

The opportunity comes out of ‘left fi eld,’ but Brisbane next year. But fi rst there’s a robot

it could be worth pursuing… the chance to show off Mildura at a land warfare conference in war challenge in Adelaide, with $1 million up for grabs. It’s a case of…

war games,we’re invited

both Australia and the USA. Each of them has been given $100,000 to help them get to the starting line.

The criteria is long, comprehensive and very technical, but in lay-man’s terms it will mean the most sophisticated robotic weapons in the world will compete against each other in a se-ries of “seek, identify and save/destroy” missions in a specifi ed time frame in

and among buildings and other obstacles, guided by two controllers.

America and Austra-lia will jointly put up the $1 million prize money, with $750,000 of that going to the winner, but the real value will be in the government defence contracts they might gain as a result of the compe-tition.

Although Magic 2010 doesn’t have much ap-peal for Sunraysia, there

are some who believe we could be involved with the land warfare confer-ence, especially at a ‘bar-gain basement’ price, and considering our close connection with organis-ers.

As the man who is running the show said to me; “I will ensure you get to meet the right people, and show off what Mil-dura has to offer.”

A representative of one of the major spon-

sors also agreed that al-though the ‘war’ aspect of the conference didn’t concern Mildura, all those at the conference, their companies and ex-tensive contacts, had to holiday somewhere, and also promised his help in getting the Mildura mes-sage across.

The best way to do this was to have some-one at a Mildura tour-ism stand, handing out oranges, dried fruit packs

and other local produce to delegates, accompa-nied by information packages. It might also be the perfect opportuni-ty also for evening wine tasting sessions to pro-mote the wide variety of top quality wines in the region.

In short, we’ve got the opportunity, we’ve got the time, we have the contacts at the highest level… all we need now is a decision.

THE call has gone out to ex-serv-ice organisations, councils and community organisations with an interest in the maintenance of local war memorials to apply for a grant to assist in any restoration work that may be required.

Member for Mildura, Peter Crisp, said grants are available

for funding of up to $10,000 to upgrade and enhance local com-memorative sites and honour rolls.

“Practically every community has a war memorial commemo-rating the courage, spirit and sacrifi ce of local servicemen and women,” Mr Crisp said.

“Unfortunately, over time these memorials suffer from the elements and this grants program is designed to assist communities to reinstate them to their original condition,” he said.

“Our war memorials are a sign of our enduring respect for the sacrifi ce made by so many and

they also provide an opportunity for our younger generations to learn about and appreciate the legacy of our war veterans.

“There are memorials for our fallen right across the elector-ate, and I urge all committees or community groups to apply for this funding if they believe that

the memorial needs restoring, or just a little tender loving care,” Mr Crisp.

Applications for the grant close on February 15, 2010 and forms can be accessed by phoning 1300 366 356 or by going to the grants website www.grants.dpcd.vic.gov.au.

Casual, Contract & Harvest Workers

needed for study

On Work & Health ($25 per interview)

Ongoing, permanent, work is becoming less common these days, especially in rural Victoria. More people

now work in �flexible� or �temporary� work: as casuals, seasonal workers or contractors. Here the number of

hours work and the income that people get can change from week to week and month to month and workers

sometimes have to move around looking for work or do more than one job just to earn enough to get by.

This is now common in agriculture, where workers are hired in on temporary basis as casuals or contractors

to do things like fruit picking, crop harvesting and shearing. But it�s also common in other industries too, like

construction, manufacturing and production where workers are hired in to cover busy periods (for example in

packing sheds) and let go again when the work dies down.

It�s important to know how all this is affecting people�s health and wellbeing because having control over your

work and having job security are important for good health. So, we are looking to interview workers from

across a range of industries—but particularly agriculture—about their experience of casual, seasonal and

contract work and how this sort of work has affected their quality of life. For example:

• Is job insecurity an issue for casual, seasonal and contract workers? How do they deal with this? Does

it bother them or their family?

• Do people like working as a casual, contract or seasonal worker basis because it gives them the

flexibility and control to balance their work around other things in life that they want to do? Or do

people struggle with getting enough work and earning enough money to get by or find it difficult

working as a casual?

If you take part in this project you will be asked to do three interviews over the next three years. Each

interview will take place locally in your area and will take about 40 minutes. You will get $25 for each

interview and we won�t use your name in any of the research reports.

Mildura Planning SchemeNotice of Preparation of Amendment

Amendment C52

Authorisation A01299

Mildura Rural City Council has prepared Amendment C52 to the Mildura Planning Scheme.

In accordance with section 8A(3) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, the Minister for Planning authorised the Mildura Council as planning authority to prepare the amendment. The Minister also authorised the Mildura Council to approve the amendment under section 35B of the Act.

The land affected by the amendment is 12 Langtree Parade Mildura (Lot 1 and Lot 2 TP 674162X). The amendment introduces permanent controls to HO30 in accordance with the interim order Amendment C49 which corrected a mapping anomaly on Mildura Planning Scheme Map No.27HO to extend the existing heritage control HO30 to apply to Lot 1 and Lot 2 TP 674162X Sec77 Blk D. The amendment also introduces

the heritage assessment as a reference document in the Mildura Planning Scheme.

You may inspect the amendment, any documents that support the amendment and the explanatory report about the amendment, free of charge, at the following locations:

office of the planning authority, Mildura Rural City Council, 108 – 116 Madden Avenue, Mildura.

website www.mildura.vic.gov.au

and Community Development website www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/publicinspection.

Any person who may be affected by the amendment may make a submission to the planning authority.

The closing date for submissions is Thursday 7 January 2010. A submission must be sent to the:

General Manager Assets & Development Mildura Rural City Council PO Box 105 MILDURA VIC 3502

Tell us what you think of CouncilMildura Rural City Council is asking the people it serves and represents how they think the organisation is performing.

A survey quizzing residents on their satisfaction with Council services and facilities as well as the way the organisation operates has been delivered to 1200 randomly selected households throughout the municipality.

Mayor Glenn Milne said survey recipients were encouraged to answer the questions honestly and return their completed surveys using an included reply-paid envelope.

“Council has been conducting surveys like this each year since 2003 as a way of gauging how we are travelling and determining what the community sees as the most important services and facilities we provide,” he said.

“The results from the surveys are crucial if we want to improve how we operate and how we can best serve the people of Mildura Rural City.”

Survey recipients will have approximately two weeks to complete and return their surveys, which should only take about 15 minutes to fill out.

Issues regarding value for money, public open spaces, Council staff, building and planning, tourism, economic development and public health feature amongst the questions.

“This is an ideal opportunity for people to participate and really make their views on Council, as a whole, known. I hope those households that receive a survey will take the time to complete one as the organisation will refer to the results when making future decisions,” Cr Milne said.

Seniors Festival SuccessThe 2009 Seniors Festival held from Sunday 4 October to Sunday 11 October was a resounding success with people across the region enjoying a jam-packed program of activities and events.

Mildura Rural City Council gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the following businesses, individuals and organisations whose support helped ensure the success of the 2009 Seniors Festival.

REACH THECOMMUNITY

WITH

Existing homes remain first home buyers’ preferenceThe latest data from the State Government confirms first

home buyers’ preferences for established homes over newly

constructed ones. Twenty-seven per cent of all purchases

made with government financial assistance over the last 12

months have been for new homes.

There is no doubt the financial assistance has been welcomed

by not only the first home buyers but also vendors and

builders.

The State Government has reported that over the last 12

months there have been 44,668 homes sold to first home

buyers and that 12,229 of those have received the higher levels

of assistance for new homes. Of those, 580 (or 11 per cent)

have gone to buyers in regional Victoria in the last month.

Over this time the total number of loans taken out by first home

buyers has increased from 21 per cent in September last year

to 27 per cent this September, an improvement that is a direct

result of the government financial assistance and record low

interest rates.

In October the financial assistance dropped by $3,500 for

an established home, and by $7,000 for a new home. The

REIV expects this will be reflected in the Australian Bureau of

Statistics October Housing Finance figures, which are due on

9 December.

Prospective first home buyers need to be aware that the

financial assistance will drop again on 31 December. At that

time the total assistance available for purchasing an established

home will drop from $12,500 to $9,000. For those buying a

new home in the Melbourne metropolitan area it drops from

$25,000 to $18,000, and for those buying a new home in a

regional area it drops from $29,500 to $22,500.

More details on eligibility for the financial assistance can be

found at www.sro.gov.au.

First National’s Victorian members were rewarded for their stellar achievements over the past year on Saturday night at the network’s Gala Awards dinner held at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.The elegant Christmas themed affair celebrated the best of the state’s real estate performances with Collie & Tierney First National being awarded the third highest achieving offi ce in Victoria.Collie & Tierney First National principal, Robert J Stephens was delighted that the team’s hard work and efforts were recognised, particularly in the volatile market of the past 12 months.“Real estate can be challenging at the best of times, but in the tough economic conditions of last year, we have surpassed anyone’s expectations and that is testimony to our professionalism and dedication,” Robert

said.First National Real Estate State Director, Ross Neilson said the First National Awards recognised high performers in the network, encouraged others to learn and grow their businesses and provided an ideal opportunity for staff to network.“While we are part of a large Australian network, and so have the support and backing of a collective, we still need to operate as individuals and that is what these awards are about,” Ross Neilson said.“We strive to reward the hard work of our members at the local level, as well as recognise their contribution to the network as a whole.“In so doing, we hold them up as shining examples from which others can learn and grow, but in a fun, team-building and motivating manner.”

Reduces muscle tension.• Strengthens nervous system and aids neurological development.• Gentle exercises encourage the development of fl exibility and co – ordination.

Emotional and Psychological Benefi ts• Strengthens bonding – practically good for those with interrupted bonding through prematurity, medical problems, adoption and fostering. Establishes close, loving communication which provides security and stability for the child.A secure child is free to develop to his or her full potential as he or she is not anxiously attempting to gain security through trying to have basic nurturing needs met.• Parents learn benefi cial relaxation techniques as massage cannot be performed while the parent is stressed, as stress is immediately transferred to the baby.• Provides the opportunity for fathers to spend quality time with their children.

MALLEE Family Care will cel-ebrate its 30th Annual General Meeting in style next Friday, December 11, with the group to launch its book ‘Harder the Ground, Softer the People’.

The book, authored by writer and historian Rob Linn, showcas-es the insights and experiences of those involved with the organisa-tion, whilst outlining the group’s extensive history within the re-gion.

Many of the group’s patrons and directors, including Executive Director Vernon Knight, share their memories, painting a pic-ture of not just the organisation, but also the community through-out that time.

In addition former ANZ Bank-ing Group Chief Economist Saul Eslake will act as guest speaker, with discussions to focus on the challenges local businesses are facing as part of the Global Fi-nancial Crisis.

Mr Knight said that the GFC had started to affect not for profi t organisation like the MFC, mak-ing the visit a vital one for the organisation.

“We need to ensure that agencies like Mallee Family Care can meet the challenges being

presented, and ensure the asso-ciation’s fi nancial and functional sustainability,” he said.

“Mr Eslake has international standing, and is well placed to guide our agency in its planning for the future.

“It’s our hope that this visit will be of benefi t to Mallee Family Care and the many other impor-tant organisations that are grap-pling with the issue of survival at a time when both Government funding and charitable dollars are diffi cult to source.”

Mr Eslake will also address the Mildura Development Cor-poration, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Mildura and Mil-dura Young Professionals as part of his visit.

Mallee Family Care’s 30th AGM will be held next Friday, De-cember 11 from 10.30am at the Mildura campus of LaTrobe Uni-versity. More information is avail-able by contacting 522 1065.

LOCAL basketball identi-ty James Madigan was his usual jovial self this week, but behind that smile is a burning ambition to turn around the fortunes of the Settlers Mildura Heat men’s representative team.

After what could best be described as a “learn-ing curve” for a current crop of youngsters who tried their hearts out all season for little result, newly-appointed coach Madigan admits he hates defeat.

“Mildura is going to be back up the top…it may take a few years, but I can tell you that’s our ma-jor goal,” Madigan said.

“We want our repre-sentative teams back en-joying success with the backing of sponsors and big crowds cheering us on.

“There’s an amazing amount of talent in the district when it comes to basketball and I can hon-estly say that I’m over the moon with the coaching appointment.”

Renowned for his de-termination, Madigan said he realised it would be foolhardy to set his sights too high, but he was determined to see the men’s team go forward.

“We all know there wasn’t much success last season, however the team was young and they will

have benefi tted from the experience,” he said.

“We have all got to aim for better things and I’m more than confi dent that within the next few years, Mildura will be back at the top level.

“It mightn’t happen next year or even the fol-lowing year, but I’ve got a three year plan to have Mildura as a basketball force in the Big V.

“Once a team gets on a winning run, the adren-aline gets pumping, the confi dence goes sky high and anything can hap-pen.”

Madigan makes no secret he’s keen to get one player from outside the Sunraysia district, but was staying tight-lipped.

“I will say I’m confi -dent of getting a ‘draw-card’ from elsewhere,” he said.

Madigan coached the Mildura Mavericks from 2004 to 2006.

Last season he was in charge of the Albury Wodonga Bandits, com-peting in the South East Australian Basketball League, Australia’s sec-ond-highest level of com-petition.

“Despite not enjoying too many wins, it was fan-tastic to be back involved in SEABL,” Madigan said.

“We had our ups and downs – one of our star imports went down with

a serious medical condi-tion and then a few oth-ers were in and out with injuries.

“We had upset wins over Mt Gambier and Bal-larat and lost probably eight games by less than fi ve or six points”

It would be fair to say Madigan was born into basketball – his father Jim, who lives in Adelaide, had a fi ve-year coaching stint with the Australian national women’s team the Opals.

Madigan played state level basketball in South Australia from under 12 to under 20, and de-scribes a three-year stint in Utah in the American High School basketball system as an “awesome

experience.”He followed up with

two years with the Ad-elaide 36ers squad and fi ve years of SEABL with Woodville. He was then lured to Mildura to play with the Mavericks by Sunraysia basketball leg-end Barry Knights.

Madigan has also been in charge of the Sun-beamers and Gregg Steel-ers sides.

“It has been fantas-tic living here and being involved with basketball and I just can’t wait to get going with this season’s group.”

Meanwhile, Mildura Heat Women’s coach Rohan “Butch” Pearce is planning to build on solid foundations set down last

season, after being reap-pointed coach this week.

Last year’s playing group was largely made up of teenagers who punched well above their weight in a tough season.

Pearce is confi dent their added maturity and experience will see the Heat women pushing the best the Big V has to offer this season.

All players interested in trying out and play-ing in the senior Heat men’s and women’s teams should attend a meeting at Court Five at the Stadium on Thursday December 10 at 6 p.m.

The meeting will outline both season and training dates as well as player commitments.

IRYMPLE Secondary Col-lege is leading the way when it comes to produc-ing local sporting talent, with 24 students repre-senting their school, and the region, at last week’s Victorian Secondary Schools’ Sports Associa-tion State Finals.

And while students didn’t come home carry-ing championship gold, according to Physical Education teacher Alana Brady, just getting to that level of competition is a major achievement.

“Considering that our students come from a small town like Mildura, and were up against stu-dents who are enrolled at their respective schools because of their sporting ability, it’s an amazing achievement to get as far as they did,” she said.

“Just to compete at a State fi nal is a huge achievement, and to win even one match is a chal-lenge in itself, let alone trying to fi nish fi rst.”

Irymple participated in three sports at the fi -nals, including junior girls (Year 7 and 8) bas-ketball, junior boys table tennis, and intermediate boys hockey.

Alana said that coun-try teams were required to jump through a num-ber of “hoops” to reach the fi nal, including com-

peting at inter-school (local) and Northern Zone (where teams from Bendigo and Swan Hill etc. take part) levels.

“Teams from country areas certainly have to

win more ‘tournaments’ than some of the metro-politan teams,” she said. “Which is why it can be tough to make State fi -

nals, and why we get so excited when we do man-age to get through.

“To have three differ-ent teams, and 24 stu-dents, make it through those stages is a fantastic

achievement, and is very encouraging from the school’s point of view.”

Of the three differ-ent sports the table ten-

nis squad performed the best, fi nishing third, while the basketballers fi nished fi fth and hockey team eighth.

“Our table tennis players were just fantas-

tic,” Alana, who coached both the basketball and table tennis teams, said. “One student, Tyson McLean, managed to win all of his matches, and the rest of the team also did well.”

The basketballers, who enjoyed their sec-ond consecutive year at State level, managed to win one game, with the side, consisting of a number of junior Mil-dura Heat and A-grade players, beating Brighton 26-24 in their opening contest.

The hockey team, who entered the compe-tition undefeated, had the toughest time, un-able to secure a win.

Alana said that even though the school didn’t win any titles, the signs for future success was defi nitely there.

“The great thing for Irymple is that the major-ity of these students will more than likely com-pete again next year,” she said.

“It’s very exciting to think that our school consists of such great sporting talent, and who knows what could hap-pen in the future.”

Our young representative basketball team has struggled all season, having limited success on the court, but now there’s a new coach in town, and…

The plan is to turn upthe Heat

SUNRAYSIA’S Josh Waters has the motorcycle road race world at his feet.

The talented 22-year-old domi-nated the fi nal round of the Austra-lian Superbike Championship last weekend at Phillip Island to clinch the title, making him one of the select few to win the title in his debut year.

Waters went into the round two points behind series leader Glenn Allerton, but proceeded to sweep all before him to take the title, despite a few nerves early in the weekend.

“I was really nervious before the weekend, maybe trying a bit too hard on the Friday,” he said this week after returning to Mildura.

“On Friday, I wasn’t happy with how I went. I was trying to make too many changes and then on Fri-day night I sat down with Phil (Phil Tainton - team boss) and we put ev-erything back to what I knew was fast previously.”

The next day, despite interrup-tions caused by rain, Waters was much more comfortable on the bike and by Sunday’s (race day) morning warm-up he was back on the pace, just under the lap record.

In his own words, “I knew it was game on for race day”.

Waters blitzed his opposition in the opening race of the weekend tak-

ing the win by a comfortable 6.1 sec-onds, setting the quickest lap time of the race by more than a second.

It was then down to the second and fi nal race of the weekend.

Waters shot off the start line and immediately built up a comfortable lead, which was when he realised he was in a championship-winning po-sition.

“After about three laps, I thought, ‘I’m on for it’, because I gapped them quite fast. I think after three laps I had a four or fi ve second lead. Then I thought, have I gone too hard? But in the end it worked out perfectly,” he said.

Though Waters did admit to a few nervous moments as he completed those last laps.

“I was thinking, gee what’s go-ing to go wrong? Don’t crash, don’t crash,” he said. “I actually ran wide a few times, but it wasn’t too bad.

“The team was letting me know where Glenn (Allerton) was at all times via the pit board. “Then, near the end, I had a quick look behind and saw my team mate, Shaw Giles, was a couple of seconds behind me in second, so I knew that if anything happened he was there to help me.”

The rest of the race played out per-fectly for Waters, who cruised home to win by more than three seconds.

It’s since been a whirlwind ride for the 22-year-old.

“I’ve had a lot of contact from overseas, people quite high up con-gratulating me, which is pretty amaz-ing. I didn’t think that too many peo-ple would be watching,” he said.

Waters has been inundated by the national and international media this week, doing countless radio, maga-zine and internet site interviews.

His bike will be the subject of numerous national magazine fea-tures over coming weeks, as national journalists clamber to test ride the championship-winning bike and the man who piloted it in one of the most competitive superbike champi-onships in recent years.

The 22-year-old’s championship status is already being capitalised on by Suzuki. He’s been invited as the star attraction at a Suzuki shop open-ing this weekend.

Despite the attention and acco-lades, Waters has stayed true to his roots, and said he’s looking forward to racing at the track where his career began - the North West Victorian Motorcycle Club’s (NWVMCC) Jam-baroo Park, next weekend.

Waters will compete in the fi rst ever Shuffs Cup, held in memory of popular NWVMCC member Duane Woodberry, who passed away last

year. “I haven’t raced dirt track for a

long time, so it will be good to get back and race with my mates again,” he said.

In terms of his plans for next year, it’s very much a wait-and-see situa-tion, though Waters says he hopes to race at least one World Superbike Championship round, possible the opening round at Phillip Island in

February, as a wildcard entry.“If all goes well, I’d like to do a

few World Superbike rides as a wild-card, but there’s nothing in concrete yet,” he said. Given Waters was beat-ing this year’s World Superbike cham-pionship lap times at Phillip Island on a relatively standard bike by World Superbike standards, a wildcard ride could just be the ticket to a perma-nent ride on the international stage.

TWENTY-TWO-YEAR-old Josh Wa-ters has been racing for 18 consecu-tive years.

He fi rst rode a bike when he was just three-years-old. It was a 50cc Su-zuki quad bike given to him on his birthday.

His fi rst race was roughly 12 months later, on a Pee Wee 50, at a dirt track meeting at the North West Victorian Motorcycle Club’s Jamba-roo Park complex.

That fi rst race kicked off one of the most successful dirt track careers in Australia.

By the time Waters graduated to the senior ranks at 16-years-old he’d won 23 Australian championships and more than 65 State titles.

At one point he won 17 State and national titles in one year, including the Victorian, Queensland and New South Wales championships, in both dirt track and long track, racing in

three different capacity classes.He started road racing at just

13-years-old, competing in the ‘Un-derbone’ series in Malaysia.

Waters commenced his Austra-lian road racing career at 15-years-old, racing a 125cc GP bike in the Australian Road Race series, but only at selected rounds, as he was pre-vented from riding at some rounds due to minimum age restrictions in some States.

A year later he took out the Aus-tralian 125cc Road Race Champion-ship, the youngest rider ever to win the championship at just 16.

He graduated to the Australian Supersport (600cc) ranks the follow-ing year, racing a privateer Yamaha, taking it to fi fth overall. He was run-ning second before a crash in the fi -nal round that year.

Waters signed up with the fac-tory Kawasaki Australia team for the

next two years, competing in the Su-persport class, taking a fourth and a fi fth. He then moved to the fac-tory Suzuki team in 2007 where he placed third in the 2007 Australian Supersport championship, and sec-ond last year.

This year was his fi rst season in the premier Superbike (1000cc) cat-egory, which he won in his debut year, bringing his national title tally to 26.

Great track record over 18 years of racing

THE fi rst ever World Speed-way Sidecar champions, Mick Headland and Paul Waters, from Murray Bridge will be at Mildura’s Olympic Park Speedway this Sunday night for the opening of a hectic 2009/2010 speedway season.

Headland and Waters will be among a top group of A-grade sidecar riders to race in the meeting, which will feature a strong B-grade sidecar fi eld, a solo fi eld, which includes plenty of rid-ers with international expe-rience as well as a fast group of quad riders, who are cer-tain to burn up the dirt of the Olympic Park track.

Meet and greetHeadland and Waters

have offered to bring all their gear, trophies and memo-rabilia down the Olympic Park clubrooms from 2pm Sunday.

This will allow sidecar fans to get up close and per-sonal and speak to them about their success in France in August.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for fans to bring the family down to Olympic Park to meet and greet the fi rst ever world champions.

Many fans will be amazed to see the race ma-

chine stripped down to ‘bare bones’ on display with Mick and Paul offering photo op-portunities for Mildura fans.

Bring the kids down to the clubrooms any time from 2pm until 5pm, when

the champions will take their machine from the clu-broom straight over to the pits ready for scrutineering and racing to follow.

The Mildura Club is most grateful that the two are prepared to do this meet-

and-greet prior to the start of the season.

Two thousand and nine became the year when the World International Motor-cycling body (FIM) decreed that the former World Side-

car Gold Cup events would become a World Champion-ship.

Headland and Waters had already tasted success when the Gold Cup event was held at the Wayville Showgrounds in Adelaide in

World’s best at speedway launchslidesultans of

with Brendon Gledhill

November 2007.The World Sidecar

Championship was held at La Réole, France on an 800-metre grass track, much different to the type of tracks which Australian speedway

sidecar riders are used to, but Headland and his diminu-tive passenger Waters, won all fi ve heats and became the fi rst ever World Sidecar Champions.

Headland and Waters both enjoy riding the tighter confi nes of Olympic Park and they will have their work cut out for them against the other seven teams which will contest their division.

Local stars, Byren Gates/Mick O’Loughlin, Jason Bradshaw/Simon Cohrs, Warren Monson/Deven Gates, Andrew O’Rourke/Jason Mayes will be joined by 2008 second place getters in the World Gold Cup, Rick Howse/Adam Commons, from Broken Hill and Mel-bourne pair, Mark Radford/Steven Stagg who will make up the riders to contest the top group.

The local riders put on a hot display at the season Shakedown at Olympic Park last month, when many spectators thought that some of the sidecar practice

runs were reminiscent of a heat from last year’s Austra-lian Sidecar Championship back in March.

Action packedThe riding on that night

was fast and furious, which indicates that the racing all night this Sunday night will be just as keenly contested.

The solo class of rac-ing will be of vital interest to many riders as both the Australian Solo Champion-ship and the Australian Un-der 21 Championship will both be held in Mildura during January 2010.

Track time at Mildura’s Olympic Park circuit is of interest to many of Austra-lia’s younger riders, so the fi eld in the Solo division for this Sunday is strong, with some imports of note com-ing to ride against the locals in the fi eld.

Sheffi eld and Coventry rider, Josh Auty, a young Englishman, is coming down from Queensland with northerner, Damian Koppe, to compete against the Sedgmen brothers, Ryan and Justin, Brock Gates and Jason Stewart.

Joining this group will be Shepparton rider, Jake Anderson, who, like the locals, showed some good form at the Shakedown.

Great interest will be cre-ated by the visit of Samsurry ‘Sooty’ Pigram, a young Western Australian Aborigi-nal boy who rides like the wind.

Sooty rode in the West-ern Big One at Western Aus-tralian track, Pinjar Park last January, in the same fi eld as Leigh Adams and Cory Gathercole and acquitted himself well.

During this past Europe-an winter, Pigram took him-self off to England to learn the ropes of being a profes-sional rider in the UK, tak-ing some rides at meetings around the UK.

With a large aboriginal community in Sunraysia, Sooty has expressed a wish

that plenty of his people come out to Olympic Park to support him.

Just 12 months ago Sooty was only riding in the far north of Western Austra-lia and has now taken on the world, a great credit to him.

He mentioned earlier in the year that he had an ambition to come and ride Olympic Park, as he has been told by the likes of Steve Johnson, that to do well in Australia and world speedway, a rider has to be able to ride Mildura well.

A good selection of B-grade sidecars will add to the Sunday night spectacle, with the group being very even, demonstrating the strength of sidecars in this area.

B-grade racingMany of the B-grade rid-

ers are pushing for selection in the top fl ight, so watch for the sparks to fl y from many of them this week.

The two Milner broth-ers, with their passengers against Broken Hill’s Rick Stephens/Dean Hobbs and Kel O’Neill/Peter Harvy, tak-ing on the Munro brothers Scott and former West Coast Eagle, Kane and the new-look Chris Holmes/Neale Hancock team, now riding

a very fast machine will see many of this class move up a grade very quickly.

Rounding out a top pro-gram will be a big fi eld of quads, who like the other classes, showed great skill and speed during the Shake-down meeting.

A fi eld of 10 quads will contest handicap races with plenty to watch for all around the track.

Gates will open at Olym-pic Park at 5pm. Practice is at 5.30pm, with junior activity starting at 6.30pm. The senior meeting will commence at 7.30pm.

Olympic Park has a full catering service and advises that there must be no BYO by law.

By VINNIE RODI

TWO of Sunraysia’s up and coming soccer players, Chris Romeo, 19, and Mitch Brown, 17, will embark on the trip of a lifetime next year, after earn-ing selection in the Australian Foot-ball Skool’s (AFS) Under 19 and 17 squads.

The pair will fi rst travel to Lon-don where they’ll take part in training camps run by elite coaches and play-ers (including a training run with the Arsenal and Fulham Football Club’s juniors), before taking part in the In-ternational Youth Tournament to be held in Barcelona in April.

The tournament will see the best young players from around the world compete, with scouts and selectors to be present.

Both youngsters said that the trip would be an “opportunity of a life-time”, and that excitement was start-ing to build.

“I just want the opportunity to give 100 percent,” Chris said. “It’s going to be an amazing experience, and a story I can one day tell my chil-dren.

“If nothing else come of this, in terms of getting noticed by other clubs or groups, I’ll still be proud of my achievements, and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Mitch said that he was also proud to have the chance to represent both his hometown and country overseas.

“I’m very proud to represent Aus-tralia and Mildura,” he said. “The chance to play overseas is a once in a life time opportunity, and I’m really looking forward to it.”

The pair have been training with the AFS, a program dedicated to de-veloping and training gifted players, for 12 months, approached by local offi cials to participate in the group’s summer program.

“I thought it would be a great way to stay fi t, while providing an oppor-tunity to go and play for state teams,” Chris said. “I didn’t really expect any-thing to come from it, and I’m really glad that I gave it a go.”

Mitch said that he had also decid-ed to join the AFS as a way to keep up his form, after playing arguably his best season with local team Irymple Knights.

“By the end of the season I thought I was playing some of my best soccer,” he said. “And originally I wasn’t going to do it.

“I then realised that it could be a way to keep my form going through-out the summer, so I decided to give it a go.”

Mitch said another reason he had joined the AFS was due to the group’s goalkeeper-specifi c training and de-velopment sessions, something not widely available in Mildura.

“Goalkeeping is still something that I’m relatively new at,” he said. “I’ve only been doing it for four sea-sons, and the training programs the AFS have are fantastic.”

After the initial invitation the duo began playing matches with the Mil-dura Mallee AFS side, playing against fellow AFS teams from Northwest, Monash, Central and Casey.

The 2009 AFS Championships were next, with pressure mounting due to selectors looking for talented

youngsters to represent Australia in London and Barcelona.

Both Mitch and Chris impressed in their individual matches, earning a call-up at the AFS Championship’s presentation night.

“When they called my name I honestly sat there in shock,” Chris said. “I got off my chair, weak in the knees, and approached the stage, where I was presented with a medal,

and then welcomed into the team by offi cials and players.”

Only 20 players out of 120 made it through each level, with Chris and Mitch amongst the select bunch.

From there training started to intensify, with both Chris and Mitch having to commit to training sessions held in Keysborough (a 45 minute drive from the Melbourne’s Tullama-rine airport).

“Dad drove us down to begin

with,” Chris said. “We would leave at 4am, and get there in time to play a game at 11am. Eventually we realised that fl ying was the best option, main-ly because by the time we got there we’d be too tired to play.”

Mitch said that while he couldn’t attend ever training session in Mel-bourne due to the distance and cost, he was training locally twice a week with the Under 18s Loddon Mallee

Lightening Football Club. Chris on the other hand said he

had been spending every spare mo-ment getting in extra running and training sessions at Aero Ovals, en-suring that his skills were sharp for the tour.

In addition to attending compul-sory training sessions the AFS also re-quired members to commit fi nancial-ly, with players having to pay $1000 per month to maintain their spots.

Chris and Mitch both said that between fl ights, taxis and the month-ly deposits, their individual AFS ex-periences had started to become ex-pensive.

“It’s been hard on both Mitch’s and my parents, but we’ve managed to keep up with the payments and the training sessions,” Chris said.

“It’s been worth it,” Mitch added. “We’re receiving a fantastic opportu-nity to travel overseas and play in are-nas that we’ve only ever seen on TV.

“So while it’s defi nitely been tough, it’s paid off in the end.”

Both Chris and Mitch said that they would be approaching a number of local businesses for sponsorships, while seeking scholarships and grants from Mallee Sports Assembly and the Sunraysia Academy of Sport.

“So far we haven’t had much luck with sponsorships,” Chris said. “Vicki Telfer from the Sunraysia Academy of Sport has been a big help, and we’re hoping some local businesses will help us out.”

And while the boys have mainly had to raise the money themselves, they haven’t been entirely on their own, with their club, Irymple, recent-ly hosting a fundraiser which raised $2000.

“That was a huge help, and really overwhelming,” Mitch said. “And it certainly helped take a bit of pressure off.”

Businesses who would like to sponsor Chris or Mitch can contact Karen Bulman on 0419 573 690 or Sandra Romeo on 0428 242 843, with the boys set to leave for London at the end of March 2010.

WHILE both Chris Romeo and Mitch Brown have risen to great heights so far in their budding soccer careers, their individual beginnings in the sport couldn’t be any differ-ent.

Chris’ career started at an older age than most play-ers associated with the sport, with his early years dedicated to football with the Irymple Swallows Football Club.

He quickly made the switch to tennis, playing in Red Cliffs and Mildura, be-coming a member of the Mil-dura squad, going on to rep-resent the region at a number of tournaments.

At 14, he decided to give

soccer a go, joining the Three Colours Soccer Club’s Under 15s side under coach Nick Mammone.

“I’d always enjoyed watch-ing soccer on television,” Chris said. “And my uncle was heavily involved with the sport locally so I thought I’d give it a try.”

Chris said that Nick had taught him all the skills and tactics associated with the sport, helping him adapt to the game.

He said his background in football and tennis had also helped, with most of the refl ex and hand-eye co-ordination needed for those sports also relevant to soccer.

Midway through his sec-ond season Chris found him-self playing from the seniors’ bench, and by his Under 18 days had been named captain of his junior team.

In 2007 Chris was a per-manent fi xture in the seniors, earning the ‘most improved player’ award in the same year.

The following year saw him make the move to his current club Irymple Knights, where he had another fantas-tic year fi nishing equal best and fairest with two other players.

For Mitch, his beginnings in the sport started like any ordinary soccer player, with

the 17-year-old kicking his fi rst ball during lunch times at Mildura South Primary School.

He said he soon realised that he had a real passion for the sport, joining the Cos-mos Soccer Club (now White Stars) in 2003.

In 2006 he made the move to the Irymple Knights, where with help from senior goalkeeper Dave Morello, he discovered his passion for keeping.

“Dave really helped me develop my skills,” he said. “I owe a lot to Dave, who really taught me the basics to keep-ing.

“One of my aims for the

future is to help set-up more coaching for local keepers, because I know personally it was a great help having someone experienced help me out.”

During his four seasons with the club Mitch has won three ‘goalkeeper of the year’ awards for Sunraysia, and been a Mildura representa-tive.

He said that given the right opportunities he be-lieved he could carve a career in the sport.

“I love soccer, and feel that I can be really good at it, given an opportunity,” he said.

In addition to his recent

AFS selection, Mitch has also received an invitation to attend a Football Federa-tion Victoria national train-ing centre youth program in Melbourne next year, where he will be training fi ve days a week, while studying a Diplo-ma of Sport and Recreation.

He said that he will attend a fi nal interview for the spot later this month, and if suc-cessful, will make the move to Melbourne next year.

“I’m really excited to see if I can get through,” he said. “It would be an amazing op-portunity to not only try and launch my career, but to also learn more about coaching, and the sport in general.”

MIXED Martial Arts, or MMA fi ghting, is still a relatively new concept in Australia, with the majority of spectators, and in some cases bud-ding fi ghters, still try-ing to get their heads around the growing sport.

The techniques used in mixed martial arts generally fall into two categories; strik-ing techniques, includ-ing kicks, knees and punches, and grap-pling techniques, such as clinch holds, pin-ning holds, submis-sions, sweeps, take-downs and throws.

Modern mixed mar-tial arts fi rst emerged in America in 1993, with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Initially based on fi nding the most ef-fective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competi-tors of various arts were pitted against one another with min-imal rules or concern for safety.

Ten years later and MMA promoters had adopted a number of additional rules, all aimed at increasing safety for competi-tors, whilst promoting mainstream accep-tance of the sport.

In a competitive sense, the rules al-lowed participants to use both striking and grappling techniques, whilst fi ghting both upright and on the ground, allowing mar-tial artists of different backgrounds to com-pete.

MMA training ex-cludes all of the non-realistic parts of tra-ditional martial arts syllabus, with the be-lief that traditional techniques, like forms, patterns and kata, along with punching boards are useless in this day and age.

While these tradi-tional martial arts are still taught to juniors as part of their initial syllabus, it is mainly used as a foundation, helping participants

reach a certain point in their training.

Today, mixed mar-tial artists train to combat a variety of styles, including learn-ing to counter their opponent’s strengths, and remain effective in all phases of combat.

For instance, a stand-up fi ghter will have little opportu-nity to use their skills against a submission artist, who has also trained in takedowns and ground work.

The majority of ‘real fi ghts’ end up on the ground, and a big emphasis is placed on ground-fi ghting whilst training.

In Mildura stu-dent’s are encouraged to use what works best for them, adapting their natural ‘game’ to work for their body type, strengths and weaknesses.

LOCAL Mildura Martial Arts fi ghters Tybias Smith, 18, and Luke Eves, 20, recently made history, becoming the fi rst locals to compete at a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event.

Held in Melbourne’s Chelsea Heights Hotel on November 22, the duo competed in the ‘Fightforce’ promotion ‘Chelsea Under Fire 15’, with both young-sters managing to win their respective bouts.

MMA is a relatively new concept in Australia, with the sport a huge phenome-non in the United States, es-pecially through cage fi ght-ing organisation Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Matches employ a num-ber of fi ghting styles includ-ing striking techniques like kicks, knees and punches, and grappling techniques like clinch holds, pinning holds, submissions, sweeps, takedowns and throws.

Fights at this event were fought in a normal box-

ing ring rather than a cage, a change for both fi ghters who are used to open mat areas.

Renshinkan Mixed Martial Arts coach Mick Moloney said that the duo’s achievements had been in-credible given their relative-ly short time in the sport.

“Both Tybias and Luke come from boxing back-grounds, and have only been training under MMA rules for a short time,” he said. “For them to come home winners in their fi rst event is fantastic, and could open the door for future fi ghts and career opportuni-ties down the road.”

Mick said that promot-ers had labelled both Tybi-as’ and Luke’s fi ghts as two of the event’s better bouts, with the Melbourne crowd taking a liking to the two skilled fi ghters.

“There was something like 1100 people there,” Mick said. “Which is the biggest crowd these guys

have ever fought in front of.

“They both performed really well, and did them-selves and Mildura Martial Arts proud.”

Twelve fi ghts in total were held at the event, in-cluding seven kickboxing matches, two Muay Thai bouts, three MMA bouts, and one South Pacifi c Kick-boxing title fi ght.

Luke kicked things off, competing in a Muay Thai match against a much taller opponent, with both com-petitors wearing eight ounce gloves and shin guards.

At 62 kilograms Luke fought three two minute rounds, eventually winning by a unanimous points de-cision.

Luke said that prior to the fi ght he had been con-

cerned about his oppo-nent’s long reach.

“He was 6”2’, and I’m about 5”2’,” he said. “I spoke to Mick about it, and I knew I had to get close and take that advantage away.

“I took a couple of good hits in the process, but I was pretty determined to win, and I knew I just had to be confi dent.”

Tybias, who became the fi rst person from Mildura to fi ght in an offi cial MMA bout, weighed in at 66.8 kilograms, with his oppo-nent having the advantage at 68.9 kilograms.

Wearing only two ounce gloves, Tybias fought three three minute rounds of stand up and ground fi ght-ing, eventually winning the match by knockout at two minutes and 55 seconds in the last round.

Tybias said that his op-ponent, who had a wealth of experience, had proven a diffi cult challenge.

“I actually had the chance to chat to him at the weigh-in, before either of us knew we’d be fi ghting one another,” he said. “I knew he had more experi-ence, and that it was going to be tough to beat him. It was really exciting to win, and the crowd was unbe-lievable.”

Mick said a number of MMA promoters had al-ready enquired about the Luke and Tybias’ availabil-ity for future events.

“And that’s really en-couraging,” he said. “MMA is going to be a huge force in Australia, and a career is certainly there for the tak-ing if these guys want it.

“I’ve already had a number of promoters want-ing to book the guys for fu-ture bouts, so now it’s just

a matter of waiting to see what happens.”

Tybias and Luke both said that they would look to expand their profession-al fi ghting options.

“I don’t know whether it’s something I want to do as a career, but for now I’m certainly excited to see what’s going to happen, and participate in as many fi ghts as I can,” Tybias said.

“If the opportunity is there I’m certainly going to take it, but at the moment I’m just enjoying what I’m doing.”

Luke said that he rec-ommended more locals to get involved with the sport.

“Just fi tness wise it’s great,” he said. “I highly recommend people to give it a go, it’s great for your confi dence, and it’s a lot of fun.”
