city Heartattack

THERE has been an all-out City Heart attack to turn the busy Langtree Mall into a Mildura shopping showpiece. After years of planning, two drafts and exhaustive consultations, it appeared a new-look mall was off and running, but those plans could be in jeopardy following renewed debate between councillors and city traders over redevelopment plans. Some councillors want changes, city traders want action, the public wants good shopping and good facilities, and now some local artchitects, like Andrew Nairn, left, want to know why they weren’t approached for their ideas. See our reports on Pages 3, 5 and 7.

A look at the lighter side of lifeand other amazing things...

The tale of the Irish sausages... An Irishman walked into a shop and

asked “Can I have some Irish sau-sages, please?”

The assistant looked at him and asked: “Are you Irish?” “If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?” demanded the Irishman indignantly.

“Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?” Then, warming to his theme, he went on: “Or if I asked you for a Kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish?” “Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? Well would ya? Would ya?” The assistant said: “Well, no.” Suitably encouraged by the suc-cess of his logic, the Irishman steps it up a gear. “And if I asked you for frogs legs, would you ask me if I was French?”

“What about Danish bacon, would you ask me if I was Dan-ish?” “Well no, I probably wouldn’t,” conceded the assistant. So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says: “Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I’m Irish just because I asked for Irish sausag-es?” “Because you’re in Bunnings,” the assistant replied.

Now former U.S. president George Bush has been copping it for the

past month or so as his presidency drew to a close.... so we thought it was our turn. George, we will miss you and your eloquent words of wis-dom including little gems like...

“The vast majority of our im-ports come from outside the coun-try.”

“If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.”

“One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is “to be prepared.”

“I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judg-ments in the future.”

“The future will be better tomor-row.”

“We’re going to have the best educated American people in the world.”

“I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.”

“We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.”

“Public speaking is very easy.” “A low voter turnout is an indi-

cation of fewer people going to the polls.”

“I have opinions of my own – strong opinions – but I don’t always agree with them.”

“We are ready for any unfore-seen event that may or may not oc-cur.”

“For NASA, space is still a high priority.”

“Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our chil-dren.”

“It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.”

IT’S hard to lick the choice of Australia Post for the new images of celebrities to be immortalised on the coun-try’s latest postage stamps, released yesterday.

They are four of Austra-lia’s most celebrated actors - Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman and Geoffrey Rush.

The four Academy Award winners have been named the 2009 Australia Post Aus-tralian Legends in recogni-tion of their outstanding contribution to Australian entertainment.

Australia Post Managing Director Graeme John said the legends were admired for their achievements by Austra-lians across all walks of life.

“They are all households names,” he said. The stamps will be a constant reminder of the indelible mark they have made on Australia’s identity and culture.

“They have captured the imagination of millions of people in Australia and around the world with their award-winning performanc-es.”

The Legends will be hon-oured at Australia Day events held in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Bris-bane and Hobart. Each will be presented with 24-carat gold replicas of their stamps.

Nicole Kidman said she hoped her children would have an opportunity to stick her stamp on their mail.

“I have a vested inter-est in Australia,” she said. “I want my children to live here at certain times of their life and see how wonderful it is. It would be lovely for them to lick a stamp, put it on an envelope and say ‘that’s my mum’.”

Cate Blanchett was also excited. “I am utterly, deeply, humbled and chuffed by the fact that I’m a stamp,” she said. “I’m going to be licked by millions of Australians, and I can’t wait. It is also recognising the value of the arts in Australia. Rush said he was delighted about being on a stamp, having grown up

in the 50s and 60s when “the only person on a stamp ever was the Queen.”

“It’s a classy thing to know you’re on security pa-per,” he said.

The announcement comes as Australia Post celebrates its bicentennial year. It also fol-lows the release last Novem-ber of a special stamp series featuring the five favourite Australian films of all time.

Film stars get finalstamp of approval

Snake, rattle and roll... hot off the Press comes the

story from the United States, where Florida Power and Light Company was carrying out ex-tensive work during extensions and upgrading of services to the Orlando International Air-port.

They discovered a bit of rubbish, rocks and other de-bris, not to mention a six-metre alligator (ABOVE) and a nest of deadly rattlesnakes – 87 of them! (RIGHT).

They were removed – care-fully. Workers proceeded – with caution!

ITEMS SUITABLE FOR RECYCLING INCLUDE:

NOW AVAILABLE FROM MILDURA RURAL CITY COUNCIL

- Mildura Weekly • 3 Friday January 23, 2009

By BEN PISCIONERI

THE Mildura City Traders group is questioning the motives of several Mildura Rural City councillors who are pushing to see the Langtree Mall redevelopment delayed to al-low further consultation.

Councillors Max Thorburn and Mark Eckel have been among those publicly voicing their sup-port to re-visit parts of the proj-ect over the past week, saying the views and concerns of several new councillors, and sections of the community, need to be included.

But Mildura City Traders chair-man, Jon Clark, said further delays could see the project put on the back-burner once again.

“I think it will probably end up being buried in red tape and it will disappear,” Mr Clark said.

“That’s our major concern. That this debate will drag on and then we’ll get nothing. We’ve al-ready been through the consulta-tion period.

“It’s been through council, it’s locked down and in place so these delays wouldn’t happen, but now our worst fears are being rea-lised.”

Mr Clark said the project has been delayed long enough and can’t be put off again, highlighting safety issues associated with un-even pavers in sections of the mall, which have led to several members of the public injuring themselves, as just one of many significant is-sues in need of attention.

“Quite frankly I think the pav-ers are an occupational health and safety issue. If Centro was under-cover and had this problem, it would be condemned,” he said.

“I don’t think the fact that it’s a council asset excuses it and I think it needs to be repaired, re-laid and fixed properly.”

Mr Clark said while not all of his ideas and preferences were in-cluded in the final plan, which was approved by the Mildura Council,

not everyone’s ideas, including councillors, could be included.

He referred to concerns relat-ing to the removal of trees from the mall, which was among issues raised this week by Cr Max Thor-burn.

Cr Thorburn said there was “general concern in the communi-ty” about the removal of trees from the mall, outlined in the plan.

Mr Clark said the trees, which were just one of the issues in need

of attention, were damaging pav-ing in the mall and led to raised and uneven sections.

He said not everyone’s needs could be accommodated when the community was being consulted.

“It’s a progress question.

Sometimes things have to go that we may not necessarily want to go, but they have to,” Mr Clark said.

“There are other issues I’m not happy with but it’s a commu-nity consultation process and I’m

not going to get everything that I want.

“Every dollar we spend on all these consultations and processes is money that we don’t have to put towards the project and that’s our concern. We’ll end up doing noth-ing and that’s the last thing any-one wants.”

He said it’s causing frustration among traders who want to see ac-tion after years of inactivity.

“Most of the traders are quite frustrated that people are throw-ing up these smoke screens to slow this process down,” Mr Clark said.

“I think it’s very important for the morale of the community that a community hub and a centre of activity looks bright and fresh and clean and new.”

A Change is Coming


From Page 3•

Cr Mark Eckel, who also chairs the CBD Redevelop-ment committee, this week-end rejected any suggestion further delays would lead to plans being permanently shelved or buries in red tape.

He said one of his main priorities was to ensure this did not happen.

“I’ve always had problems with council developing plans and then the plans sitting on the shelf, after paying exor-bitant fees for consultancies, and that’s something I’ll be keeping a very close watch on,” Cr Eckel said.

No danger of delaysHe said there was no dan-

ger further delays would lead to the redevelopment being stalled permanently.

But Cr Eckel said he did see a need to ensure new councillors had an opportu-nity to provide further input.

“I’ve been receptive to the idea that we look at what the new councillors have in mind because they’ve been through the election process, they’ve promised their constituents they will represent their needs in issues including this one,” he said.

“I’m very mindful of costs and there’s no way I will be putting my hand up, as chair-man (of the CBD Redevel-opment Committee) to go through this whole planning

process from the start again.“It’s been a very exhaus-

tive process - the consultation with the community, the trad-ers and the stakeholders - and the plans have come back af-ter being away twice in draft form.

“We’ve now got to the stage where we’re looking at spending some money this year and I would think the community wants something done.

“We’ve promised the first thing that will be done will be the pavers, because that has been the number one priority in all the consultations we’ve been part of.”

He said one of the major issues raised by new council-lors was the removal of nu-merous trees from the mall.

“We need to invite the consultants back so the tree is-sue can be raised and they can answer the questions from a professional perspective,” Cr Eckel said.

Mildura Councillor Ver-non Knight said while any new council could change the position adopted by the pre-vious one, doing so too often could risk killing develop-ment.

He also highlighted the fact that comments in the me-dia by some councillors over the past week suggesting parts of the CBD plan be re-visited were purely speculative, and were only the personal opin-ions of councillors at this

stage, not the position of the Mildura Rural City Council.

“My understanding is that council adopted the CBD plan, and it’s not come back to a council meeting, so this is highly speculative,” Cr Knight said.

He said the fact that some new councillors had ideas they wished to see included in the plan wasn’t necessarily grounds to delay it.

“A project central to revi-talising the heart of Mildura ought not be unnecessarily delayed,” he said.

“You can incorporate new ideas as you go along.”

Common objectiveMildura City Traders

manager Richard Morfaw said while there was still robust debate about the issue, all par-ties appeared to have a com-mon overall objective.

“The City Heart commit-tee, Council, and the public, they all have the same aspira-tions and that is for a city mall which will work very well for all parties, both now and into the future,” Mr Morfaw said.

“The only difference is they are expressing themselves differently at the moment.”

Several new councillors have already requested a brief-ing on the redevelopment plans and the consultants re-sponsible for the plans will return to Mildura towards the end of February to discuss them further.

Traders angry over mall facelift delay

TALENTED and sought-after Mildura ar-chitects and leading businesspeople have expressed concern that Mildura Rural City Council is not creating a ‘level playing field’ on recent big jobs in the city.

While they are commissioned to under-take some work for council, they are disap-pointed at not even being given the chance to quote or draw design work on the bigger jobs, despite their high level of expertise, lo-cal knowledge, passion, accessibility and ac-countability.

The latest two jobs to be given to out-of-towners with little or no connection to Mildura are the riverfront soundshell and the Langtree Mall revamp.

Businessman Steve Timmis, who trav-els all over Australia promoting Mildura through sporting coverage on the Woodstock Big Screen, says it has been his experience that council won’t even listen to the locals.

And architect Andrew Nairn said that while he and fellow professionals got a chance on some projects, they were disap-pointed that larger projects were continually outsourced.

“Others, such as Lower Murray Water, have put their faith in local architects for local jobs – current projects included – and they don’t come much bigger,” he said.

OUYEN is turning 100, and the whole town is ready to party. In fact, residents plan to spend the remainder of 2009 celebrating the milestone.

And the weekend will see the launch of the town’s year-long list of centenary events, with celebrations starting with a flourish of willow, the gallop of horses, an Australia Day barbecue outing, and the highly anticipated lizard rac-ing.

As the Mildura Weekly re-ported last week, the Ouyen District Cricket Association will celebrate 100 years of cricket in the Mallee on Janu-ary 24, with several matches, several legends to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and lizard racing marked down as the main event.

The history of Ouyen Har-ness Racing will also be on show on Saturday, January 24, with the Ouyen Club reflect-ing on the town’s involvement with the sport for the past 50 years, followed by the Ouyen Pacing Cup on January 25.

This year’s cup will adopt a twilight setting at City Oval in Mildura, with a return bus trip to Ouyen available. The

first race is set to begin at 6.05pm.

Ouyen Lions Club will host the town’s Australia Day breakfast on Monday, how-ever this year it will also mark the official launch of centena-ry celebrations. Breakfast gets under way from 7am at the Ouyen Centre Lawns.

Ouyen Centenary Group

Secretary, Elaine Bell, said the group had done a remark-able job organising the town’s events, along with setting up the centenary information website - www.ouyencente-nary2009.net.

“It’s hard to believe it’s only a few days away,” she said. “People are really excit-ed, and have been jumping on board wanting to help out.”

Ms Bell said the website

had proved to be more than an information centre, with many locals planning re-unions through the online forum, and reminiscing about the time they had spent in the town.

“The amount of people talking about the town has been fantastic,” she said. “Peo-ple seem proud to have been a part of Ouyen’s history.”

So far nearly 100 com-ments have been posted on the site’s discussion board, with several people express-ing messages of support and pride.

“It will be wonderful to be part of the centenary celebra-tions... Here’s what I know: It will be a very exciting and suc-cessful celebration!” one local posted.

“After spending half of this centenary in this area, words cannot express how proud I am of Ouyen. From the dusty place of childhood, to the oasis of today. Let’s make it a year to remember, and rekindle old friendships,” another added.

It’s ironic that Mr Nairn has had extensive metropoli-tan architectural experience, having been based in both Adelaide and Melbourne be-fore moving to Mildura 15 years ago.

Had the practice remained in Melbourne, it may well have been one of the firms ap-proached to do some of the Mildura work!

“There are at least half a dozen of us in the same boat,” he said. “There is a wealth of expertise and knowledge right here in Mildura, and council would be dealing with local people who have the commit-ment and the passion, with instant accountability simply by picking up the phone.”

It’s widely known that council has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in re-cent years outside the district in one form of consultancy or other. This money is instantly lost to the region.

Mr Timmis says he has been closely associated with many local architects, design-ers and draughtsmen over a lifetime in Mildura, and was disappointed and angry that these people simply weren’t given the chance to compete for jobs.

“They don’t even get the chance to contribute ideas to projects like the sound tent, the mall or the riverfront proj-ects,” he said.

“These people are very professional and very talented, and have a vested interest in the area. They live here, they

bring up their children here, and have an intimate knowl-edge of the area, its people, its weather and requirements needed.

“They have a passion and a desire to contribute, but are in the main ignored, with the city going for city consultants. I would like to know why.”

Mr Timmis said it was widely known that the ini-tial mall revamp wasn’t up to scratch.

“If it wasn’t for Cr Thor-burn’s intervention, the plans would have just been rubber-stamped by council,” he said.

“Now they have promised to look at it again. So what do they do – they go back to

the same consultants, and ask them to have another go!

“We are left with these projects for a very long time… they have to be done right in the first place.”

Mr Nairn’s concept draw-ing for the Mall revamp was based on an ‘iconic’ town square, with all trees in-tact. There was provision for under-cover eating, relaxed meeting points similar to big shopping centre food courts, and an under-cover area for the weekend market.

Included was an easy-ac-cessible entertaining area that could be done for minimal cost, with no need to block off streets, all under cover, and

with easy access from ‘Feast Street.’

Incorporated into the de-sign was a big screen concept similar to Federation Square in Melbourne, with enter-tainment relayed through TV, the internet, DVD’s, or local cameras for the production of local productions such as country music, gospel music, film festivals, fashion shows or special presentations.

Almost everything would be under cover, yet still re-tain an outside fresh air feel for which Mildura was re-nowned.

The concept plan included provision for upper level bal-conies that could be licensed

for special events and which would provide additional and premium viewing areas, and part of the overall plan would be to re-locate McDonalds into one of the side buildings to free up more of the Mall area.

Mr Nairn said Mildura architects did have some project work with council, along with work outside Mil-dura, Swan Hill and Horsham among them, but were disap-pointed that projects such as the soundshell and riverfront work was outsourced.

He said the suggestion had been made to council that they could perhaps hold a competition to see who could

come up with the best design for various projects, but noth-ing had been forthcoming.

While Mr Timmis said he could see obvious flaws in the design of the river soundshell, which had an original budget of $800,000 but which was finally expected to come in at well over $1 million, Mr Nairn was more diplomatic, saying his views were more from an architectural view-point and from a personal perspective.

“There are not necessar-ily flaws in the design, but we think a more locally-inspired design outcome could have been achieved if locals had been consulted,” he said.

Following requests from the MPs, including Nationals Peter Walsh and Peter Crisp, Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water has agreed to allow towns it supplies from the Murray system lim-ited watering of venues the night before celebrations.

Mr Walsh encouraged eligible com-munities to ring GWMWater on 1300 659 961 to apply for an exemption to al-low watering with a handheld hose fit-ted with a trigger nozzle for two hours.

Towns eligible for limited watering of Australia Day venues include Ouy-en, Murrayville, Underbool, Walpeup, Manangatang and Sea Lake.

By GRANT MAYNARD

HE makes it appear effort-less – the steady hand and the flawless flow of paint off the bristles. And then the words begin to appear as if by mag-ic.

He’s a picture of complete concentration as you realise with a jolt you don’t see it much of this these days. You did once, when signwriting the old fashioned way was the only way, but now much of it is laser cut vinyl stickers.

As a trade, traditional signwriting’s becoming a di-nosaur, the new breed are technologically proficient and sit in an air-conditioned office surrounded by hi-tech machinery and materials.

He’s not against progress per se, it’s just that Merbein’s Terry ‘Moose’ McGowan has chosen to swim against the tide. He elects to ply his trade the old-fashioned way, either in his workshop surrounded by the tools of his trade or outdoors, on-site with noth-ing but a blank ‘canvass’, a handful of brushes, his maul stick, and his many pots of paint for company.

He has been called a ma-gician more than once, and it’s a appellation based not so much on his mage-like looks, but the fact that once you stick a brush in his hand he can work magic.

Yes, he’s a signwriter from the old school, and proud of it.

“I was there when com-puters started to come in, even did a course or two at MADEC to learn the skills needed, but I just couldn’t do it,” he says of a time in the early 1990s when he contemplated keep-ing abreast of the new tech-nology in his industry.

“We used to cut shapes and letters out of vinyl by hand using a pen knife so I had had some experience us-ing the stuff but I decided to stick with the brushes and paints.”

He is also adept with gold leaf, all 23 carats of it, and that is something that, to date, cannot be successfully duplicated in vinyl.

“I am still doing the odd honour board in gold leaf lettering, but as these fill up and new boards are going up, many clubs and organi-sations are opting to go with vinyl lettering,” Moose says.

“I guess I’ll run out of work on the boards eventu-ally.”

Moose ‘fell’ into the trade more than three decades ago, at the behest of his brother-in-law.

“He had a shop and want-ed some signwriting done,” Moose recalls. “I gave it a go... it worked and then one of his clients wanted some work done... it went from there.”

He is self-taught, saying he would have liked an ap-prenticeship but when one wasn’t forthcoming he re-sorted to books and trial and error.

“I bought a few letter-ing books and practised,” he said.

His mother would have been proud.

Moose was born in Hay, but came to Sunraysia as a

young lad and remembers nothing of his young life ‘on the plains’.

“I just remember my life since I arrived in Sunraysia,” he says.

Tragedy struck when he was 14, his older brother, Paul, was killed in a motor-cycle accident.

He met his father for the first time at the funeral.

In a family of three boys and twin sisters, Moose was the youngest and remembers motorcycles as “always being a part of my life thanks to my older brothers”.

“I was racing around on a 500 AJS when I was about 10,” he recalls. His brothers would sit him on the bike and hold it till he got going and when it came time to stop he used to jump off and run along-side until it came to rest.

At 15, tragedy struck again when his beloved mother died of a heart attack.

It was his mother that had fostered his artistic leanings. Being ‘arty’ herself, she had encouraged a young Terrence to draw and sent away for books on the subject to help him along.

He still has them to this day and those treasures are

consigned to the history books by advancing technology. Yep, the writing’s on proudly ply his trade the old-fashioned way...

of the times

some of the very few remain-ing physical reminders he has of his mum.

“She had wanted me to be a commercial artist or maybe an arts teacher,” Moose re-calls.

Made a ward of the State after his mother’s death, he found it difficult to settle with the family that had been cho-sen for him in Mildura. Not that, as he recalls, there was anything wrong with them, he was just restless.

School was not his thing either, and he started his work-ing life at Maples department store, first in the dispatch area wrapping parcels before be-coming a ticket writer, win-dow dresser and designing newspaper advertisements.

His artistic leanings were showing through, but the

wanderlust struck, and 17 found him living in a beach-side flat in Adelaide and work-ing as a metal finisher.

For several years he lived in both Adelaide and Mel-bourne, working at another time in the City of Churches as a spray painter for Chrysler (more recently the Mitsubishi plant on South Road).

Returning to Mildura in his early 20s, he married San-dra, and worked at a number of jobs before the call came from his brother-in-law, who was aware of his artistic skills, to do some signwriting at his commercial premises.

The rest, as they say, is his-tory and he has been doing it ever since.

He has worked for himself, for other signwriters, and as a sub-contracter, but for many

of those years he has also worked out of his work-shop in Merbein’s Commercial Street, the former Milky Way Dairy built by Virgona’s and then owned by Petty’s before being sold to Weir’s.

It was once home to Moose’s motorcycle muse-um, a project that he talks about with pride.

Opening in 1994, the re-sult of a New Enterprise In-centive Scheme (NEIS) project and a venture that took Moose 18 months of solid planning.

A keeper of meticulous records by nature, his books show that in seven years,

more than 15,000 people vis-ited the museum including the Mayor of Mildura’s Sister City Kumatori who left a 1000 yen donation that Moose has retained among the pages of his records.

The museum was home to an eclectic mix of motorcy-

cling memorabilia, much of it owned by Moose, the avid col-lector of all things motorcycle, himself, but also showcasing many items of interest do-nated to the cause by family, friends and supporters.

His disappointment that it had to close in 2001 is read-ily apparent.

“I just couldn’t keep it open,” he said.

It was no money spinner and throughout the time it was open, Moose had to keep signwriting on the side to pro-vide for his growing family – son, Travis, and daughters Irene and Elleen.

And yes, his son is THAT Travis McGowan, the inter-national speedway rider. Ee-rily, Travis shares his birthdate with that of his deceased un-cle Paul.

Moose is immensely proud of all his children, and while he admits he has never been the strictest of discipli-narians, he points out that “they have all turned out all right”.

“Being parent was a big learning experience for me,” he admits. “I had very little to go on from my own experi-ence.”

Motorcycling has always loomed large in Moose’s life, and that of the family. The children all ride; Travis with great distinction on the world stage, the girls for pleasure and the odd backyard grudge race, and Sandra as Merbein’s ‘postie’.

Sandra is keen to point out that she rides daily and “prob-ably does more miles” than any member of the family, but it is certainly a shared passion. A kind of ‘a family that rides together stays together’ thing.

Moose has followed 28-year-old Travis’ career in minute detail, keeping a di-ary record of his son’s racing career since 1992. It wasn’t all that hard – he acted as his son’s mechanic for years and attended each meeting with him.

In a set of large ledgers he has recorded a multitude of details about Travis’ career.

“It started out with mainly bike details at the early meet-ings,” Moose says. “You know, tyre pressures, jetting settings and gearing... things like that,” he said. And, of course, how Travis fared in the placings.

IT is, as they say, a match made in heaven – a partnership between the fledgling Sunraysia Men’s Shed group, Mildura’s recycling success story, Aroundagain, and the Chris-tie Centre.

The trio of groups has formed a working alliance that is set to be a winner for all, as well as the envi-ronment and the wider community.

While the Men’s Shed steering committee is looking forward to progressing the concept in 2009, giant steps have already been taken and committee chairman, Ron Dud-ley, is excited by the progress.

While the committee hopes to complete its funding applica-tion to the State Government in March/April of this year for a grant

of $50,000 the build group’s new home, strong links have been forged with Aroundagain and the Christie Centre.

The Men’s Shed headquarters will be built at the Christie Cen-tre’s Aroundagain facility at Mildu-ra’s Landfill site but already under the partnership, a small shed has been made available where Men’s Shed volunteers are repairing dam-aged recycled articles for resale at Aroundagain.

The proceeds from these ini-tial sales will be shared with the Aroundagain, and ultimately the Christie Centre.

“The sales will,” Ron says, “also provide a welcome source of fund-ing for the Men’s Shed.”

At the same time the fledgling repair operation is ensuring even less material in thrown away to end up in the landfill – a win for the en-vironment – and providing a greater choice of sale items for the public as

the popular Aroundagain recycling centre continues to draw increasing numbers of shoppers.

Aroundagain manager, Krister Jonsson, said his team did not have time to repair damaged recyclable goods.

“This partnership is a win-win for us all,” he said.

Ron Dudley says he is unaware of any similar partnership in Victo-ria.

“In fact,” he says,” It is probably unique in Australia.”

To build and equip the larger shed that will ultimately house the Men’s Shed operation, the steering committee is working on an esti-mated budget of $150,000.

And the committee intends to start fund raising in earnest in com-ing months, Ron said. To date the

group has raised more than $27,000 thanks, Ron said, to generous con-tributions from the Mildura Rural City Council and the Irymple Lions Club.

Ron said he was looking for-ward to similar support from other service clubs, local businesses and community organisations.

Application has been made to the Council for the installation of a funding barometer in Deakin Av-enue and, if approved, its construc-tion and erection will be one of the first tasks carried out by the shed volunteers.

To date, the Sunraysia Men’s Shed has received more than 200 registrations of interest. Further information is available from Ron Dudley 5023 0798 or David Pearce (Sunassist) 5023 1906.

In a partnership built for three...with benefits for all those involved, the environment and the wider community

MEN AT WORK: Keen volunteers, left to right rear, Toby • Howard, Tony Lush, Wayne Roberts, Ron Dudley, and front, John Allinson and George Liddicoat were hard at work this week getting their shed space ready for work. BELOW: The

From Page 9•

Over time the records ex-panded to include anecdotes about each meeting and other riders.

With much of Travis’ rid-ing now done overseas how does he keep up with his son’s fortunes?

“I talk to him after ev-ery meeting... it is something we do... he can open up to me about things he probably couldn’t with anyone else.”

And Moose might even be able to offer some advice, af-ter all he was no slouch on a speedway bike himself, both as a solo rider and the pilot of an historic sidecar outfit.

He points to a smallish display cabinet tucked into a corner.

“That’s mine,” he says pointing out a number of tro-phies, ribbons and other rac-ing memorabilia behind the glass doors.

“And this is Travis’,” he says waving his hand around the rest of the room, the walls groaning under the weight of trophies, ribbons, racing leath-ers, bibs, photos, helmets and other speedway paraphernalia and keepsakes as well a the odd painting of his son in full flight on a speedway machine by Moose himself.

Travis’ career, it is obvi-ous, has been much longer and more high profile than his father’s, but it is all about opportunity.

“I did not start to ride se-riously until I was about 24,” Moose said, and it was on a bike he built himself.

He had a couple of tries to get into sooner. The first attempt ended when he de-stroyed his first bike in a prac-tice accident on a salt lake.

He tried again, but this time the bike, or at least the bulk of the bike in parts, was stolen.

Something was telling him it wasn’t yet time.

Travis, on the other hand, came up through the ranks of the Mildura Motor Cycle Club’s highly successful and much-admired junior racing program, starting when he was about 10.

A still very much down-to-earth Travis is now an interna-tional solo speedway rider of note with a swag of Victorian Junior and Senior State Cham-pionship titles to his name as well as national titles includ-ing three U21 Australian Solo Championships.

He returns to ride with Swindon in the United King-dom this week and is looking forward to a much better year, something his father is confi-dent about.

Injuries have plagued Trav-is for the past two seasons, but he is looking fit and healthy

after taking the Australian summer speedway season off this year.

“It’s the first time in 20 years we haven’t been travel-ling the country to go racing,” Moose says.

They both agree it has been a welcome break with the family being able to spend much more time together and to get in a little ‘bush time’ – a festive season camping tradi-tion. Of course, the bikes goes wherever the clan goes and this year was no exception.

Riding and racing through the bush on an assortment of two-wheeled machinery is something all the family en-joys.

And Moose’s riding has been immortalised on screen. He was one of the ‘extra’ rid-ers in the Mad Max 2 movie,

filmed around Broken Hill in the 1980s and has also been featured piloting his road go-ing Harley and side car in an ‘Ozbike’ video.

When he’s not riding mo-torcycles, Moose is painting them. For the past 30 years he has taken commissions to immortalise motorcycles and their riders on canvas, or to paint and pinstripe a range of tinware (tanks, guards, side-covers and sidecars) for count-less marques.

He is, first and foremost, an artist, another reason why he has not taken the vinyl let-ter route for his signwriting work – he enjoys the satisfac-tion there is to be gained by doing things with his own two hands.

Moose also still hand pinstripes a number of prime

movers each year, many truck-ies preferring his ‘old school’ approach to his work.

“I think they like the fact that paint lasts,” he says. “I have work out there that is 20 years old and still go-ing strong... with vinyl they will only guarantee it for five years.”

That goes for his signs too, saying “some have been around for years”.

As he has gotten older, Moose says his enjoyment of art for art’s sake has waned somewhat.

“When you spend all day with a paint brush in your hand for work, you don’t feel like coming home and doing it again,” he said.

But what about after he retires?

“Maybe... I am sort of slowing down now,” he says as the demand for his ‘old school’ signwriting begins to wither.

But there are some other jobs that are keeping him go-ing – like the pinstriping on motorcycles, trucks and even old horse drawn vehicles like drays, buggies and such.

Then there are his own motorcycles – the Triumphs and the Nortons waiting pa-

tiently on the workbenches, or in his ‘project room’, for the touch of his skilled hands.

He has been working on motorcycles since his teens and these assorted “projects”, in various stages of construc-tion, are his pride an joy.

There are quite a few bikes from his past – Moose is a hoarder, and as well as the bikes there are motorcycle parts are everywhere.

“I pick those up (indi-cating the piles of the parts) when I can... when I can af-ford them, or when I can find them,” he says.

And the bikes from his past that are al around?

“Just can’t seem to let go of them,” he says. He still rides his 30-year-old cherry red Harley Davidson around the country and has no plans to trade up.

It has become his ‘signa-ture’ amongst the biking fra-ternity. To see Moose without that old Harley would seem just plain odd.

“I guess I just like old things and the old ways,” he says.

If you like traditional too, then give Terry (Moose) a call at McGowan Signs on 5025 3378.

Alas, it’s a sign of the times...

AT 16, Simon Treselyan was one of the youngest karate black belts in the United Kingdom.

He went onto an Army career with the elite British ‘Special Forc-es’ unit, mostly in covert opera-tions, and has been decorated for gallantry.

In the years since, this high achiever and motivator has also achieved excellence in the private sector, briefing high-profile corpo-rate leaders and dignitaries, includ-ing a UK prime Minister, on mat-ters of security.

Now a successful businessman in Australia, people literally walk over broken glass or hot coals for Simon, and he’s been invited to do a ‘show and tell’ at a Mildura seminar in February, organised by Sunraysia motivator and business-woman Pix Jonasson (see her story Page 24).

This determined, passionate and successful entrepreneur wants to help Sunraysia people kickstart 2009 by discovering how Simon’s Special Forces techniques and atti-tude can lift them to new levels of self-achievement.

“True and lasting success can be followed very much like a recipe,” she says. “The correct ingredients with the correct preparation and timing will produce excellent re-sults time and time again.”

She says her “Success Factor” Seminar, to be held at the Settlers Mildura on Thursday, February 19, from 7pm, should be a highly en-tertaining and action-packed event.

“I had the pleasure of doing a ‘Starfire Training’ seminar with Si-mon last year, kept in touch with him, and was delighted when he agreed to come to Mildura for one of my seminars,” said Pix, CEO of local company Success Dynamics 21C.

“Simon has 27 years of Martial Arts and Military Special Forces experience, and has the recipe for success in many areas.

“He has had the privilege of leading extraordinary people in ex-treme situations to attain remark-able results.”

Simon has taken his ‘Starfire’ seminars to nine countries, speak-ing on his military career, and life as an interrogator, lecturer, negotia-tor, author, advisor and martial arts expert.

He achieved some fame in the United Kingdom as the person re-sponsible for identifying the fake Iraq torture photographs featured in the Daily Mirror newspaper, and subsequently in the media world-wide. His continued high-profile TV and press campaign on the issue was taken into the British Parlia-ment, where his conclusions on the fake pictures were proved correct.

His investigations saved the Government from severe embarrass-ment, and resulted in the sacking of

Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan. Pix describes Simon as one of

the most sought-after personal and corporate development mas-ter trainers on the international scene, and believes that with his expert help, her Mildura seminar will motivate and encourage peo-ple to turn fear into power, dispel self-limiting beliefs and create ac-tion in their stead, discover acute mental focus and concentration, experience the power of influence, create strategies for winning, attain supreme confidence in most situ-ations, create greater passion and vibrancy in life, and turn dreams

and desires into results and achievements.

“He uses techniques born of the most extreme environments and ‘hones’ them into effective and powerful lessons for attaining excellence in the modern world,” she said. “His work has inspired thousands of people world-wide to embrace extraordinary training in order to achieve extraordinary results.

“Simon is also one of the few registered ‘Firewalk Master Train-ers’ on the planet, and is a regular on television and radio, and in the print media.”

His first book, ‘Who Dares for Success!’ is due to be published early this year.

Pix described Simon as lively and humorous in nature, and pas-sionate in style. “It is little won-der that people who listen to him are inspired to take action steps to further their own success,” she said.

“It is a real privilege to have someone of Simon’s calibre com-ing to Mildura.”

Pix said she had tried, at $55 for general admission, to put the unique seminar within the reach of most people. Other corporate pricing would be advertised.

Businesses or individuals in-terested in the seminar, or those wanting to know more, can con-tact Pix by email on [email protected] or by phone on 0418 211 738.

SOME people might say that fire walking is simply mind over matter. They don’t mind, and you don’t matter!

But it has its origins way back in time, hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, and is steeped in tradition and mythology.

Bob Nixon, explaining it on the web, says fire walking (they really mean hot coal walking) is an impressive feat (no pun intended), and an example of what is possible when you set your mind to it.

He says there is a perfectly rational explanation, even though it boils down to a test of physics, likened to sticking your hand into an oven where bread is baking.

You can leave it there for some time, even touch the hot bread before you get that burning feeling…but don’t ever try to touch the metal container! It’s all to do with how various substances conduct, or transfer heat. Air is a poor conductor. Bread is better, metal is best.

Wood is another relatively poor conductor. Bob says the average human foot can come into contact with a glowing coal for roughly one second before the burning starts. Walking across hot coals with reasonably quick steps takes about half a second per step, so there isn’t much chance for the heat to build up.

That’s all there is to it. And

that’s why the tradition has been in practice around the world for centuries…but mainly as an ancient Indian and traditional Fijian rite, and mainly involving males.

Rowena Singh, in a recent re-port on ‘The sacred flames of Fiji,’ says that fire walking (vilavilarevo) originated on the Island of Beqa. According to mythology, the abil-

ity to walk barefooted on white-hot stones was granted by the leader of a group of Fijian Gods whose de-scendants now act as ‘instructors.

The Indians treat it a bit differ-ently. Fire is often used as a form of blessing and binding, as well as pu-rification and cleansing.


Hot stuff! Baby it’s coal outside

HOT STUFF!: Waklking on hot coals is an example of what is possible • when you set your mind to it according to proponents.

His investigations saved the Government from severe embarrassment, and resulted in the sacking of Daily

Mirror editor Piers Morgan.

2009

HE first heard the piano played as a very young boy. It was the defin-ing moment of his life, an uplifting experience that has stayed with him always.

He felt the same way the first time he heard an organ being played in a church.

There was no way young Sergio de Pieri was going to be anything other than a musician, a quest promoted by parents who told him, “You are free to do what you want to do. Always follow your instincts.”

Sergio is the brother of Mildura’s most well known cook and restaura-teur, Stefano de Pieri, but in his own right is the ‘face’ and the driving force behind one of the region’s most ea-gerly anticipated annual events – the Murray River International Music Fes-tival.

This year’s festival opened this week and will run through until Sunday, February 1, and the Mildura Weekly thought it was a good time to find out a little more about its insti-gator.

Sergio was born in Casier, Treviso, Italy and his earliest memory going to kindergarten and seeing the beautiful red house of a little girl called Nini.

“The colour,” he recalls, “grabbed my attention.”

That probably explains why he is single, but in a quick five minute interview (he is a very hard man to tie down!) this is what else we found out:

My greatest moment in life was... after I received a scholarship I met Ar-thur Rubinstein and he invited me to one of his concerts in Venice. He had organised for me to sit in a central balcony at La Fenice all by myself – it

was fabulous.In five words, I am... optimistic,

passionate, instinctive, adventurous, and free-spirited.

I wish I’d never worn... A wool-len undergarment that my mother insisted I wear to combat the cold. I still have nightmares about how un-comfortable and itchy it was.

Cat or dog? Both

I often wonder... what is beyond the sky, in the infinite.

When I want to spoil myself I... I like to fantasise about being all sorts of things: a bird, the richest man in the world; the director of the most exciting Monteverdi festival. Then I like to have a sleep.

The first thing I reach for on a Sunday morning is... my walking

shoes. I like to go out into nature and feel the fresh air and listen to the birds and appreciate the beauty around me.

The hardest thing I’ve done in my life is... coming to Australia for the first time. I had a lot of difficulty with Italian immigration. They were only interested in allowing manual workers to leave Italy. Eventually

I convinced them that if I did not work as a musician I would find other work.

My ideal day would be spent... being at the top of the Dolomites simply enjoying the view.

If I could change one thing in the world it would be... to eradicate war forever.

After life there is... eternal peace with heavenly music and beautiful colours surrounding you.

I love... all types of beauty.In life, I have learnt... to follow

my instincts and remain optimis-tic.

My pet dislike is... ignorance.I can’t live without... my free-

dom.Before I die I would love to...

go to Mars and meet some friendly aliens.

If I could invite any five people to dinner they would be... Chopin, J S Bach, Monteverdi, Dante Alighieri and Mary McKillop

The meaning of life is… to understand we are nothing but a grain of sand in the big scheme of things.

If I could be anyone else for a day I would be… a Nobel prize-winner for peace.

I’m passionate about…so many things – colour; liberty; beauty; imagination; love in general.

A book/movie/song that in-spires me is… Mozart’s Symphony no 40 in G minor and Chopin’s Bal-lade in G minor no 1.

If only I could… I would fly like a bird.

JERUSALEM. It’s a city of contrasts…from tranquil and beautiful tree-lined streets and colourful gardens in the suburbs, to the hustle and bustle in the market places behind the tower-ing walls of the Old City, centred on the ‘Wailing Wall.’

Mildura’s Paula Bruce, in Israel on a three-week scholarship, says that de-spite a war on terrorism in the coun-try leading to bombings and rocket attacks in the Gaza Strip, it’s not hard to feel safe, especially on Israel’s day of rest, Shabbat...traditionally from nightfall Friday to when the first stars come out on Saturday night.

Orthodox Jews, including young-sters in traditional black garb, mingle in the streets, local residents tend their gardens, and while shops were closed, places of interest such as mu-seums, Parliament and churches were busy.

But while Paula was spending the first few days of the New Year in such tranquil surroundings, less than 100 kilometres away another Mildura res-ident, Ben Knight, was putting his life on the line dodging bombs and bul-lets while reporting for ABC Australia from the war-torn Gaza Strip.

“Ben’s mother Annie is over here also,” Paula said. “She is worried about Ben when he goes up to Gaza to do his reports.

“Several families have been sent back to Australia, and Ben and his wife Ainslie wouldn’t take their chil-dren to public places or on the buses because of the threat of more suicide bombers.”

Despite those threats, Paula said she and Annie went by bus to visit a famed religious site. It’s where John the Baptist lived for a time, and also where Mary Magdalene replenished her water supplies.

“That was a little funny really,” Paula said. “I was in Turkey last year and was told that John and Mary had lived there as well. Those two sure got around.”

Paula’s emails from Israel are an

insightful look at a unique part of the world. She has spent time walking around Jerusalem, visiting historic King David Hotel and then the Old City, a walled-off area housing the famed Western (wailing) wall of the original city, Arab markets, and Arme-nian, Jewish and Arab quarters.

The Wailing Wall attracted an in-teresting mix of Orthodox Jews, local

residents and tourists – as well as sig-nificant numbers of army and police personnel, all armed. Security is al-ways tight in Israel.

On her way back to the hotel from one walk, Paula stopped off at a supermarket. “You wouldn’t believe the price of foodstuffs,” she wrote. “People here must either earn a for-tune – or starve!”

Bottles of wine ranged from $A30 to $140, fruit was very expensive, and a packet of 25 tea bags was $A11.

Paula told the Mildura Weekly about daily reports in the Israeli me-

dia early in the New Year about the Gaza Strip war. “Hamas had been fir-ing rockets deep into Israel,” she says. “These are manufactured in China and smuggled into Gaza.” Paula said Israel put its tanks and ground and air forces on standby, and then went into full attack mode. She described some of the horrors of the war in our report last week.

Paula said the media made it clear that Israel had shown restraint for years, but had finally had enough of the fanatics. As its forces attacked, Israel moved hospitals in southern Israel underground, and closed its schools until the fighting ended.”

Paula said members of the pub-lic were regularly briefed on security arrangements – from high alert sta-tus to all clear. “The political situa-tion is on everyone’s lips,” she said. “There is concern that the world’s media seems to be pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. There is no accurate presentation of what it has been like for the Jewish people who have been fired on for years by Hamas.”

Despite all the trouble, life goes on. The Government is in the process of building rail lines for fast trains in Jerusalem, a ‘first’ for the country, and there are many new buildings, hotels and shopping malls under construction. People overseas are

encouraged to settle in Israel – and there are huge tax advantages.

It is freezing cold in Jerusalem. Paula reported that snow was ex-pected at various times throughout January.

During the early fighting in Gaza, Paula was invited to Ben Knight’s studio to watch reports on the war. “It was amazing to watch the re-ports come in,” she said. “This was live stuff. Ben had been to Gaza at 5.30 in the morning, and on his way back home had to dodge a rocket, running from his car for shelter as it went over the car!”

Paula said Ben handled the situ-ation calmly, but Annie was a little shaken. They spend the rest of Sun-day together, touring the Old City, watching masses of military per-sonnel with a mountain of kitbags ready to be bussed out – and fami-lies saying their goodbyes to sons and daughters about to leave for a war less than 100 kilometres away.

“They all looked so young,” she said. “Probably 10 years younger than my grandchildren. It was very moving, knowing that these young men and women I was photo-graphing could be dead or injured in a couple of hours – it certainly brought home the reality of this war.”

The West Bank and the Gaza Strip became two distinct geographical regions as a result of the 1949 armistice that divided the new Jewish state of Israel from other parts of

Mandate Palestine.From 1948 to 1967, the West Bank, including East

Jerusalem, was ruled by Jordan. During this period, the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian military administration.

In the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Israel took control of the western part of Jerusalem, while Jordan took the eastern

part, including the old walled city containing important Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious sites.

It has been back under the full control of Israel since the 1967 conflict known as the Six-Day War.

It’s one of the world’s true ‘hot spots.’ A mere speck on the global map, but with a long and volatile East, and two weeks ago a Mildura academic on a prestigious fellowship flew right into the thick of the

history – dating back many centuries – and nothing looks like changing. This is Israel, heart of the Middle action. Paula Bruce has been in touch with the Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE, and describes…

YAD Vashem Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remem-brance Authority, set up in 1953, is Israel’s official me-morial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

The adjacent Holocaust History Museum was offi-cially opened just three years ago.

Located at the foot of Mount Herzl on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusa-lem, Yad Vashem is a 45-acre complex containing the Mu-seum, memorial sites such as the Children’s Memo-rial, Hall of Remembrance, Museum of Holocaust Art, sculptures, outdoor com-memorative sites such as the Valley of the Communities, a synagogue, archives, research institute, library, publishing house and the educational centre International School for Holocaust Studies.

Unlike the old museum, which consisted mainly of photographs, the new exhibi-tion is a multi-media presen-tation that incorporates sur-vivor testimonies as well as personal artifacts donated by Holocaust survivors and mu-seums and families around the world.

The museum hosts the International School for Holocaust Studies, where Mildura’s Paula Bruce is cur-rently studying, and which provides professional devel-opment courses for educators both throughout the world.

Its archives currently hold more than 3.3 million names, houses 74 million pages of related documents, and features 46,000 audio, video and written testimo-nies, with the aim of preserv-ing the memory and names of the six million Jews mur-dered during the Holocaust, and the communities that were destroyed during that time. It also honors non-Jews who risked their lives to save others.

The history museum is

the largest Holocaust mu-seum in the world, and com-bines the personal stories of 90 Holocaust victims and survivors, presenting about 2500 personal items, includ-ing artwork and letters from the Holocaust survivors and others.

Featured is a memorial to the Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Nearby is a circular repository housing approximately 2.1 million pages of testimony collected so far, with empty spaces for

another four million pages. Attached is a study area and data bank where visitors can search online for names of loved ones.

One of Yad Vashem’s tasks is to also to honor non-Jews who risked their lives, liberty or positions to save Jews during the Holocaust. An independent Commis-sion, headed by a retired Supreme Court Justice, was established to examine and evaluate each case. This is an ongoing project that will

continue for as long as there are valid requests, substanti-ated by testimonies or docu-mentation. As of 2008, more than 22,000 individuals have been given official recogni-tion.

The idea of establishing a memorial in the historical Jewish homeland for Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust was conceived during World War Two, as a response to re-ports of the mass murder of Jews in Nazi-occupied coun-tries.

In 2000, German Chan-cellor Gerhard Schroder vis-ited Yad Vashem as a guest of Israeli Premier Ehud Ba-rak, and was invited to turn a handle to boost the Eternal Flame. In a widely reported diplomatic bungle, he turned the handle the wrong way

and extinguished the flame!In 2003, Yad Vashem was

honored with the Israel Prize for Lifetime Achievement, the State of Israel’s most pres-tigious award. The category of Lifetime achievement was for “a unique contribution to society and the State.”

Yad Vashem is the sec-ond most visited tourist site in Israel, after the Western (Wailing) Wall. Last year it attracted more than a million visitors.

It regularly plays host to VIP’s, and early last year, hosted the first ever Interna-tional Youth Congress on the Holocaust, with more than 100 young people aged be-tween 17 and 19, and from 62 countries and of varying religion, gathering for the three-day Congress.

Museum honours six million JewsIN MEMORIUM: The museum building itself is a work of art and the interior, like •

the Wall of Names, RIGHT, is a stark reminder of the human scale off the destruction wrought by the Holocaust.

Hot stuff! Baby it’s coal outsideFrom Page 13•

Hindu fire walking is be-lieved to be a means to be-come one with the universe. The mental preparation of the rites helps to achieve a bal-anced and spiritually evolved life.

Rowena says Indo-Fijian fire walking is part of an annu-al religious festival coinciding with the full moon in July or August, and lasting 10 days.

A south Indian tradition brought to Fiji by the Indians during the indentured period, Hindu fire walking takes place in many Indian temples in Fiji.

In both cultures, there is traditionally a lot of prepa-ration prior to the actual fire walking.

Preparations can take up to a month, centred on col-lecting firewood, selecting appropriate stones, making costumes, and performing various rites.

Rowenna says both cul-tures have their fair share of restrictions. Fire walkers have to abstain from sex, and practice a restricted diet.

Pregnant women are not allowed near the pit. Nor can any male walk across the coals if his wife is pregnant, as it is believed in such cir-cumstances that the whole group would receive burns.

Fire walkers rise at dawn and meditate till late at night without much food or sleep.

On the final day of prep-arations, participants bathe in the river or sea, and their tongues, cheeks and bod-ies are pierced with three-pronged skewers by the pundits.

The walkers then dance blissfully to the fire pit. This aspect of the 10 day ritual sometimes includes colourful parades through the streets, with participants

chanting and dancing as they approach the pit. Dur-ing the dance and the actual fire walking, the devotees ap-pear to be in a deep trance.

Rowenna says their bod-ies are whipped before and during the ceremony, but there is no outward sign of any pain.

The Goddess’s statue, decorated with marigold garlands, is placed facing the pit to bless the ceremony.

The walk over the glow-ing coal bed, lasting less than a minute, is repeated five times, accompanied by sacred chanting and drum-ming.

Fire walking in Fiji has become a major tourist at-traction. Most prominent resorts and hotels host the Fijian ceremony and on the full moon in late July - early August, visitors can also wit-ness the Indian fire walk-ing at many of the temples around Fiji.

It’s celebration time in Ouyen

From Page 6•

Following the official Australia Day ac-tivities, the rest of Monday’s program will include horse riders arriving in costume, music and poetry by Castlemaine group KINJA, and speeches from locals Chris Rae-burn and Dr Ron Pattinson, both discussing their vast Ouyen experi-ences.

A special guest Town Cryer will make the official declaration, with either the Mayor or Deputy Mayor of Ouyen to cut a cer-emonial ribbon.

“We don’t want to reveal who the Town Cryer will be, we want to keep their identity a se-cret for as long as we can,” Ms Bell said.

“What I can tell you is it’s going to be someone who has a history with our town.”

A complimentary luncheon will be provided before residents head to the Roxy Theatre to view old footage of the town’s growth over the past 100 years.

“The whole weekend is shaping up to be the perfect way to start the celebrations,” Ms Bell said. “I’m looking forward to seeing a few of the old faces returning to the town for what is going to be a great weekend, and a fantastic year.”

Now you’re cooking, Australia!From Page 6•

Mayor Glenn Milne encour-aged residents to enjoy the day by not only attending council’s official celebrations, but the nu-merous events being organised by community groups around the region.

“Council’s Australia Day fes-tivities are an important com-munity event, enabling us to gather together, and reflect on why we feel proud to be Austra-lian,” Cr Milne said.

“Whilst the official Austra-lia Day function will be held at the Old Mildura Homestead, a number of community-based events will take place across the region, enabling everyone to participate and show their green and gold colours.”

For those unable to attend the Mildura celebrations, the Irymple Lions Club will provide breakfast at Henshilwood Oval from 7.30am to 9.30am, with a Citizen of the Year presenta-tion, and flag-raising ceremony to follow breakfast.

Red Cliffs will also present many awards at its official cel-ebrations, including the Young Citizen and Citizen of the Year award, a prize of $50 for the best decorated table with an Australia Day twist in junior and senior sections, and best Australia Day costume also re-ceiving $50.

Participants interested in

showing off their musical tal-ents can enter the original Aus-tralia Day song contest, with winners from each of the three categories (juniors up to age 12, seniors 12 to 16, and an open section) all in the running for $100.

Breakfast starts at 8am in Barclay Square, with full works’ available for $4 per adult, and $2 per primary school student.

Merbein will host its break-fast at Kenny Park from 8am, with Walpeup hosting theirs at the ‘Wayside Stop’ from 9am.

Murrayville residents get

their celebrations under way at Pioneer Park, with residents in the Wentworth Shire having a choice of three events.

The first gets under way at the Buronga wetlands from 7.45am, the second at Went-worth including the annual Aus-tralia Day community awards, from 10.30am, and the third at Dareton from 3.30pm in the Community Meeting Room at the library complex.

Bunnings will celebrate Aus-tralia Day with the ‘Great Aussie Community BBQ lunch’, to raise money for local commu-

nity groups. The barbecue is hosted by

Bunnings stores nationally, with the fund-raiser last year re-alising $8 million nationally.

Mildura Bunnings manager, Lincoln Dalla Santa, said the day was a chance for all Austra-lian’s to celebrate our country, while enjoying a relaxing day.

“Australia Day is one of our favourite days to celebrate all that is great about our coun-try, enjoy a sausage, and give our hard working community groups a helping hand,” he said.

CELEBRATION TIME C’MON: The good old Aussie barbecue, ABOVE and BELOW, is the favoured • way for many people to celebrate our national day.

IT’S an age when words such as ‘hero’, ‘legend’, and even ‘tragedy’ are bandied around so often that is al-most diminishes their true significance, but last week Australia got a taste of what a true hero is.

At a ceremony on Friday, January 16 at Government House, Canberra, Special Forces Trooper Mark Don-aldson became the first Australian in 40 years to be awarded the distinguished Victoria Cross medal, join-ing a gallant ‘band of broth-ers’.

The 29-year-old was awarded the VC, Australia’s highest military honour, for exceptional bravery in the face of heavy Taliban fire while serving in Southern Afghanistan last September. Trooper Donaldson’s cita-tion described how he put himself under extreme dan-ger in order to rescue fellow Australian soldiers who had been wounded in action.

At the ceremony, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd spoke of the actions of Australia’s latest hero. “His feat under fire now becomes the stuff of Australian legend,” he said. “Trooper Donaldson delib-erately exposed himself to enemy fire in order to draw attention to himself and thus away from wounded soldiers.”

Trooper Donaldson then ran back through enemy fire to rescue a wounded Afghan interpreter, who lay injured more than 80 metres away.

“I saw him there, ran over and got him. That was it. Simple as that,” was his explanation to the media.

Trooper Donaldson un-doubtedly risked his own life to save the lives of his mates in this ultimate act of bravery.

And yet, Trooper Don-aldson receives his Victoria Cross as a modest hero.

“I don’t see myself as a hero, honestly I still see my-self as a soldier,” he said.

Chief of the Defence Force, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, saluted Trooper Donaldson during Friday’s ceremony, saying the Victoria Cross for Austra-lia was the nation’s highest military honour, presented to those brave men who dis-play the most conspicuous gallantry in the face of the enemy.

“Today is a momentous day for the Australian De-fence Force and for Trooper Donaldson,” he was quoted as saying.

“I ask you to truly con-template his selfless and courageous act of mateship and loyalty – not only to his fellow Aussie comrades but to the Afghani interpreter whose life he undoubtedly saved”.

“Trooper Donaldson has

been inducted into the ranks of those military personnel deemed to be the most gal-lant; the most heroic; the most devoted.”

Air Chief Marshal Hous-ton said tradition held that even the most senior officer saluted a Victoria Cross re-

cipient as a mark of respect for their act of valour.

“It will be my great hon-our from this day forth to salute Trooper Mark Don-aldson, VC,” he told assem-bled family, friends, military personnel and media..

Trooper Donaldson said later he felt very privileged, if not a little overwhelmed, at being awarded the VC, but the job at hand was never far from his mind.

“I am very proud, but also keen to get back to work

and be with my mates,” he said.

Trooper Donaldson does indeed join an illustri-ous ‘band of brothers’, with just 96 Australians having ever been awarded the Victo-ria Cross medal since it was struck.

And while his VC is ex-actly the same as that award-ed to previous Australian re-cipients under the Imperial system, Trooper Donaldson becomes the first to receive the Victoria Cross for Aus-tralia, which was introduced into the Australian honours system in January 1991.

It replaces the tradition-ally awarded Imperial Victo-ria Cross, created by Queen Victoria in 1856, and made retrospective in order to honour those deserving sol-

diers of the Crimean War of 1853-56.

The first Victoria Cross ever awarded to an Austra-lian was that of Captain Sir Neville Reginald Howse VC, for action on July 24, 1900 during the Boer War.

Part of the NSW Army Medical Corps, Howse was stationed at Vredefort, Or-ange Free State when, at the height of a raging battle, he saw a fellow comrade fall wounded at the front line.

Howse galloped out un-der extremely heavy enemy fire to rescue the man. His horse was shot and killed under him. Somehow, Howse managed to contin-ue on foot to the wounded soldier, treating his wounds and carrying him out of harm’s way.

The first Victoria Cross awarded to an Australian sol-dier, it also remains the only one to have been awarded to a member of a medical unit of the Australian forces.

Howse went on to serve during World War One. He died in England in Septem-ber, 1930. His Victoria Cross medal is on display at the Australian War Memorial.

Six Victoria Crosses in total were awarded to Aus-tralians during the Boer War. A further 64 were awarded to Australian soldiers of The Great War of 1914-1918, and two more were bravely

all those who pull on the uniform to fight for their COOPER writes, they are…

earned and awarded during operations in North Russia in 1919.

One of those was award-ed to Mildura’s own Sergeant Samuel George Pearse, VC MM, (pictured below right) who had enlisted as part of the North Russia Relief Force following the end of World War One.

Sam Pearse was post-humously awarded his VC for the action that resulted in his death on August 29, 1919. He was just 22.

Sam Pearse will be hon-oured later this year with the unveiling of a statue of our local Victoria Cross recipient in Henderson Park, Mildura, on Remembrance Day.

Twenty more Victoria Crosses were awarded dur-ing World War Two, and a further two during the Viet-nam conflict. The last Vic-toria Cross to be awarded was to recent Mildura visitor Warrant Officer Keith Payne VC OAM, for his actions in Kontum Province, South Vietnam.

WO Payne was in com-mand of his unit on May 24, 1969 when attacked by North Vietnamese forces which greatly outnumbered Australian troops.

Under heavy attack, Payne worked tirelessly fir-ing his weapon and throw-ing grenades to keep the enemy at bay while rallying his men. During this action, he was hit several times by shrapnel.

Payne decided to help

his men fight their way back to base. With his group suffering heavy casualties, Payne sent his men back, covering the withdrawal himself. Gathering a small group of men, Payne estab-lished a defensive perimeter just 350 metres from enemy lines.

Then, when night fell, Payne had set off to locate men who had been cut off from the main group. Cov-ering some 800 metres over a three hour period, again under enemy fire, Payne lo-cated about 40 men, some wounded.

He or-ganised the fit men to crawl out on their s t o m a c h s , carrying the wounded on their backs to the defensive post he had es tabl i shed , only to discov-er the men at the defensive post had with-drawn back to base.

Payne and his party made their way back to base early the following morn-ing. Keith Payne, VC OAM, proudly watched the award ceremony in Canberra last Friday, no doubt recalling his own gallant feat.

Trooper Donaldson now joins the likes of Payne, sa-

l u t e d by their

proud na-tion in the Austra-

lian War Memorials Hall of Valour, which displays not only the photographs of all Australian recipients of this great honour, but some 61 Victoria Cross medals donat-ed or on loan to the AWM. It is the largest publicly held collection in the world.

Also held there are the nine Victoria Cross medals awarded during the Gallipoli campaign of 1915, including that of Albert Jacka, VC MC

and Bar.The Vic-

toria Cross of Australia is ex-actly the same as the Imperial Victoria Cross in every way. It is a Maltese Cross, origi-nally cast in bronze from Russian can-nons seized at Sebastopol during the Crimean War.

W h e n that material

ran out in 1914, almost all crosses have been cast from gunmetal of the Chinese tro-phy cannons at Woolwich Arsenal.

The front of the Vic-toria Cross medal bears a crowned lion standing on a royal crown. The words ‘FOR VALOUR’ are inscribed on a semi-circular scroll be-

neath the crown.On the reverse of the

medal, the name, rank and unit of the recipient is en-graved, as is the date of the act of bravery for which the medal was awarded.

In the words of the War-rant itself, ‘Neither rank, nor long service, nor wounds, nor any other circumstance or condition whatsoever, save the merit of conspicu-ous bravery’ shall entitle a man (and perhaps one day a woman) to the Victoria Cross medal.

So much of today’s con-flicts is an almost constant barrage on our senses, re-peated time and again on our TV screens. Visions of war, of death and destruction have almost desensitised many of us to the gravity of what all those in our defence forces face when they put on their uniform and that uniquely Australian Rising Sun badge.

Perhaps as a result of that, we risk losing sight of what our soldiers face in the line of duty. We risk forget-ting the magnitude of what they do, the dangers they face, and the horrors they see. For their nation. And for peace, humanity and free-dom.

Trooper Donaldson summed it up best; “Every single one of those soldiers that are there serving the nation are heroes,” he said. “Not just myself or one per-son. They are all heroes”.

True words, spoken by a true legend.

EVERY parent would love to be able to send their children back to school without having to worry about where the money will come from for books, clothes, comput-ers and excursions.

Loddon Mallee Housing Ser-vice’s Janice Peake, (pictured) who facilitates the ‘Saver Plus’ program in Mildura, said this week now was “the perfect time” to consider join-ing the 2009 Saver Plus program.

The program, she said, would assist families to plan ahead for the 2010 school year, without dreading the financial struggle sometimes faced at back-to-school time.

“Many families find it difficult to afford educational costs in Jan-uary after an expensive Christmas period,” she said.

“However there are a number of families in Mildura enjoying getting ready for the 2009 school year after receiving $1 for every $1 they saved during 2008 for their children’s education, up to $1000.

“Saver Plus prepares families by encouraging them to save small amounts of money throughout the year using simple techniques such as budgets, spending diaries and considering ‘needs’ versus ‘wants’.

“By the end of the year partici-

pants often feel they are more in control of their spending and are motivated to save on a regular ba-sis, which is of great benefit when it comes to purchasing school uni-forms, books, bags and shoes that can cost hundreds of dollars for just one child.”

Other tips that can assist fami-lies to save for education include:

• Open an ‘education’ ac-count into which money can be automatically deposited.

• Shop around for education items to find the best value for money.

• Use cash not credit to buy school items, or use lay-by to spread out spending.

• Buy second-hand textbooks and uniforms from school coop-eratives.

Since it commenced in 2002, Saver Plus has assisted more than 3800 families or individu-als to build a lasting savings habit and to save for educational expenses.

The program was developed by Brotherhood of St Laurence and ANZ and is now delivered in 21 areas across Australia by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, The Smith Family, Berry Street and The Benevolent Society.

To apply families need to be earning some income from paid employment, have a health care or pension card and have chil-dren in school or be attending vocational training themselves.

WHEN Mildura’s Tom Klein has to leave home for any reason, he makes sure he always has a still camera and movie cam-era right by his side.

He never knows what he’s going to come across in his travels, and over the years has been respon-sible for some spectacular photographic coverage, some of which has been seen around the world.

He has ‘shot’ famous people and famous plac-es, historical, novel and colourful tourism events, and has lost count of the number of commercials he has ‘shot’ for televi-sion.

Take the Bargain Base-ment ads, for example. He’s been doing those for Ian Simpson for 13 years, and everyone who watch-es ‘the box’ would have noticed how those kids have grown up through the years (whatever hap-pened to Brodie?).

“That’s the easy work,” says Tom of the hugely successful studio-based work. “We just use a tried and trusted formula.”

But it’s Tom’s associa-tion in recent years with the Langtree Mall’s Prints Charming, owned by Greg and Karen Mitchell, that is starting to showcase Mil-dura and its attractions to the rest of Australia, and the world.

More and more of Tom’s colourful still pho-tography, featuring some of the most spectacular natural and river scenes in Australia, is being used

as a unique portrayal of the Mildura region and its attractions.

Tom says he is happy to supply a variety of prints, in all shapes and sizes, of his work, and is constantly surprised where some of them end up. In recent years, many have been taken overseas by Mildura exchange stu-dents as gifts for their

hosts in places like Japan and the United States.

Tom and Greg have interesting backgrounds, Tom in particular. He began shooting 8mm movies with a youth club around Cranbourne be-fore moving to Mildura in the late 1970s, and since those early days has always made sure he takes still photography images

of any movie scenes he is shooting.

“Digitel photography is just an extension of the digital video process,” he says. “In video we have to shoot a sequence to edit together, and in still pho-tography, one image has to tell the whole story.”


He’s an unassuming sort of a bloke, one of Mildura’s quiet achievers, and there’s not much he doesn’t know about photography, whether it’s for special documentaries, news reports, DVD’s or still photography. For Tom Klein it’s simply a case of…

Have camera,will travel…

GREG and Karen Mitchell got into the picture framing business on a spur-of-the-moment deci-sion during first wedding anni-versary celebrations in Mildura in 1996.

The then Riverland, SA, cou-ple knew they wanted a business of some kind, but weren’t quite sure what, or where.

The young couple finally set-tled on picture and print framing, and following some investigative work on pricing, competition and product availability, decided to move to Mildura – a decision they so far haven’t regretted, with their business Prints Charming now into its second decade, and growing.

Greg, 38, RIGHT, is Adelaide-born and raised, and after leav-ing school had a variety of jobs, including motor trimming, panel beating, storeman and furniture removalist.

THE classic cars were out in force

for last month’s wedding of Mildura’s

Kathryn Gibbs and Travis Crawford,

from Melbourne.

The bride, and her entourage, made the

trip to the Old Mildura Homestead for

the nuptials in a fl eet of classic Chevys –

two 1957s and a convertible 1955.

Kathryn was accompanied by her

bridesmaids, her sisters Jessica and Sarah Orton, and Amber Crawford,

the groom’s sister.

Travis and his groomsmen – his brother Coby, Sam Ashmore and David

Masterson had to fi nd their own way to the venue. The couple was married by

civil celebrant Alan Cameron before the wedding party, and the couple’s 140

guests, made their way to the Grand Hotel ballroom for the reception.

The couple honeymooned in Thailand, returning to Mildura Christmas

Day to spend time with family before heading off to Melbourne where

they are now living in Cranbourne.

From Page 22•

Moving to the Riverland in 1993 was one of the best things he’s done. Not only did he learn all about the hospitality trade and gain new skills in pub bar work, gaming and silver service, but he also met and married Karen.

Now firmly settled in Mildura, and with four young boys added to the family, Greg can’t see himself mov-ing for a long while, especially after moving the family business from the Old Arcade off Lime Avenue into the Langtree Mall five years ago, in the shop formerly occupied by Andy’s Drycleaners.

The move has meant more pass-ing traffic, and increased trade, with Greg often having to work back late (last week it was 3am one morning) to make sure the work gets done.

He started off just with picture framing, but now customers want more personalised orders done, every-thing from framing tapestries to per-sonal family photographs, flower ar-rangements, debutante gloves, sports uniforms, jumpers...up to baseball and cricket bats – even an axe.

“The bulkier items are a chal-lenge,” Greg says, “but with a bit of time and effort, it usually works out in the end. Doing the axe was just like doing the baseball bat… just a bit sharper!”

Frames for all the items are all made in the shop, either by Greg or

Karen, or full-time employee Nicole Kinleyside, who Greg says is particu-larly good with the layouts, borders and framing.

While most of the wood, and to

a lesser extent synthetic, material is ordered in bulk reading for sizing, Greg accesses other materials, such as re-cycled old wooden flooring, from second hand shops, and shapes and cuts it to size for unique borders for some of the larger works.

He’s been doing work for pho-tographer Tom Klein for the past few years, but 10 years it was the other way round, with Tom doing all the TV commercials for Prints Charming.

“Now it’s a close association,” Greg says. “Tom supplies me with some magnificent photographs that he has captured in his travels, not just around Mildura but from outback Australia and even New Zealand, and I can show them off in the shop and frame them up for people for their own home, or as a present for some-one.”

Greg said the few weeks leading up to Christmas were particularly busy, with a last-minute rush on some of the photographic work, obviously as a present for family or friends.

“There were some long hours in-volved during that period,” he says, “but generally speaking people have to allow about two weeks to give us time to get the work done.”

Greg and Karen say they are still enjoying the work, and certainly en-joying their Mildura lifestyle, and who knows, by the time they want to take a break, maybe one or more of their boys will be ready to step into their shoes…


Have camera, will travel…From Page 22•

Tom’s passion for captur-ing people, places and events on film led him into media work, and a long association with local television. This in turn has seen him ‘stringing’ for national news channels, including the ABC, SBS, Seven and Ten, and it’s not unusual for him to chase a news break up to 400 kilo-metres from Mildura, not just in Victoria, but through western NSW and a large chunk of SA.

In the process he has come across some interest-ing characters, and some fa-mous people, including the likes of Prime Ministers Paul Keating (a sharp dresser) and John Howard (who had a huge plane to carry his ego with him), along with elec-tronics king Dick Smith, Ian ‘Macca’ McNamara (Austra-lia All Over), Larry Perkins, Belinda Giblin, John New-combe and many others.

Tom says he is never sur-prised who’s going to turn up next, as national celeb-rities seem to keep beating a path to Mildura’s door, many for varying reasons – work, recreation, visiting family or friends, the weath-er, or major events. He is also amazed at the number of backpackers from around the world who find their way to Mildura.

Tom says that although his work is exciting and var-

ied, sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge… such as the time he spent two weeks in New Guinea while his Rota-ry Club completed a school restoration project… living with the local natives in hot, wet, humid conditions, with no power, no phones and no running water… not to mention primitive sleeping arrangements. But the end result DVD documentary was still worth it!

Tom’s Oline video com-pany has also been respon-sible for DVD presentations for the Mallee Catchment Authority environmental watering projects, and ma-jor advertisements for com-panies such as Bushranger Auto gear, Dunlop power products, Victorian Chemi-cals, Autopro, TJM Megas-tores… and many more that are a distant memory.

Some of his work has been recognised with awards including ‘best regional television commercial,’ five AAAA TV industry acco-lades, and Tom was recently a finalist in the ABC ‘Video Lives’ awards.

Tom likes the diversity of his work, and is proud to have seen much of it dis-played nationally, in either movie or still form, and pleased that in the process he is able to help promote the Mildura region.

His most recent assign-ment involved shooting scenes depicting Mildura’s burst of 40-degree heat for national television, public-ity that we just couldn’t af-ford if it was used in a com-mercial sense.

Some of his digital imag-es have also been featured in press reports in major met-

ropolitan newspapers, in-cluding the Daily Telegraph in Sydney and Melbourne’s Herald Sun, including a colourful shot of famous Mildura cook Stefano de Pieri with a basket of fruit in front of a Murray back-drop… the message was the increased cost of fresh prod-ucts to metropolitan buyers because of the continuing drought.

Tom says that whenever the phone rings, he never knows where it will lead him… maybe to the rear of a canoe filming another Mur-ray River Red Cross mara-thon, filming camels in the outback, a national news job… or a favourite – turn-ing out more poster-size im-ages of this beautiful region for Greg and his crew to sell around Australia, and the world.

A charming family business

PIX Jonasson admits she is lucky to be alive, let alone running a business and hosting successful ‘do-it-yourself’ seminars for the women of Sunraysia.

She has survived three car crashes, any one of which could have killed her. As it was they have been traumatic enough, re-sulting in the death of her grandmother, with other members of her immediate family receiving life-threat-ening injuries.

Pix vividly remembers all three accidents. The first occurred as she and her mother and grandmother were travelling back home to Ballarat after celebrating a cousin’s Communion in Barham.

Travelling through In-glewood, they had almost cleared a highway intersec-tion when their car and a huge truck collided.

“Sadly my gran was killed instantly, while mum and I were severely injured,” she said. “We were so badly injured that we couldn’t even attend gran’s funeral.

“After weeks of recu-peration, the physical inju-ries healed, leaving us both to work through respec-tive huge emotional issues with the loss of mum’s own mother and my precious gran.

“They say that time eases the pain. While this is partly true for me, mum still bears the deep emo-tional scars. However, as my 10-year-old daughter profoundly now reminds me; “Life moves on.”

Moving to Mildura a few years later, Pix had ev-ery reason to remember September, 1993.

“We were planning a wedding, building a house and things were going along swimmingly,” she said. “Af-ter work on the Monday, my then fiance (now husband) Mick and I had to drive to Robinvale to discuss a busi-ness opportunity with a col-league.”

As Pix remembers, the talks went well, and they were looking forward to getting back home to de-velop things further.

“Mick and I were talk-ing positively about our future plans,” she said. “We were going past the Robin-vale Golf Club – at the split intersection with a median strip – about 8:30pm when I realised we were on the wrong side of the road.

“Much to our shock there was a thumping big Mack truck loaded with or-anges coming straight at us. Mick froze at the wheel, so I leaned across to the driv-er’s side and with my right hand grabbed the steering wheel to divert our little old Toyota Corona out of the direct head on path.

“The end result was that the truck rolled onto its side, while our car was a write–off. Mick was badly hurt. He wasn’t expected to live, and his parents were told to come from Warracknabeal to say goodbye.”

Thankfully, said Pix, Mick did survive, but was in hospital for almost five months, and now walks with a permanent limp due to his right leg being 5cm shorter than the other. Pix dislocated her right arm, fractured some ribs, and “was black and blue all over.”

“I moved into a new home in Mildura while Mick was still recovering in hospital,” she said.

Ten weeks later, with Mick still in hospital, Pix had to travel to Tatura on a business trip.

“It was my first ‘long dis-tance’ trip since the Robin-vale crash,” she said. “I was just getting my confidence back. Around 2pm that day I had to call into Piangil to catch up briefly with a work colleague, before continu-ing on to Tatura.

“I had so much on my mind – Mick in hospital, my physio visits, plan-ning the wedding, moving house… a lot of things were happening.”

Pix said she must have dozed off at the wheel, and woke up suddenly to find the car hurtling toward a huge box tree. “I over cor-rected the car, which rolled over the edge of the road and landed on its roof, with the wheels the same height as the raised road.

“Seatbelts are great, but it hurts when you take them off and the car is up-side down!”

Pix said her first instinct was to get out of the car in case it caught fire. She man-aged to kick out the driver’s window and crawl from the vehicle, clambering up the embankment to get help.

The driver of the first car drove past her, probably not realising she was in need of assistance – as the upside-down car was diffi-cult to see.

Fortunately, she said, the driver of a second car stopped and arranged for help. Pix was transferred to Nyah Bush Nursing Hos-pital for treatment, and while there had a visit from police, who subsequently charged her with negligent driving, resulting in a fine and four weeks loss of li-cence.

“After the latest acci-dent I distinctly remember getting out of the vehicle and stating that I must be bound for something great, as I had escaped death yet again,” she said.

Mazda Australia retailed 79,826 new vehicles in 2008,

eclipsing the previous record of 77,734 set in 2007.

Mazda retained its position as Australia’s fourth biggest

automotive brand and best-selling full-line importer with a

7.9 per cent share of the new vehicle market (up from 7.4pc

in 2007). Mazda’s 0.5pc market share growth was the one of

the highest posted by a top-ten brand.

Mazda ended 2008 with a new December benchmark

(6,641 retails, 8.7pc share) and tightened its grip on fourth

outright.

“This is a strong result for Mazda, especially in such

challenging times,” said Mazda Managing Director Doug

Dickson. “Mazda outperformed the market by 6.3pc, and was

one of only two brands in the top ten to post significant year-

on-year growth.”

Mr Dickson contributed Mazda’s record-breaking 2008

performance to Mazda’s strong product portfolio which

continues to offer the right mix of style and substance at

affordable prices.

“Our Stylish, Insightful and Spirited passenger cars

underpinned Mazda’s eighth year of growth in the last nine.

Mazda’s CX range of SUVs and BT-50 light commercial came

close to setting an all-time LCV record for Mazda, too.”

The Mazda3 small car came close to posting its best year

ever in its fifth and last full year onsale.

Mazda3’s 33,755 retails made it the third best-selling car

in 2008, and contributed to Mazda’s unprecedented 10.2pc

share of the passenger car market.

Mazda2 was another stand-out performer for the Hiroshima

carmaker. The Mazda2 3-door and Mazda2 5-door – named

2008 World Car of the Year – posted 15,797 retails, up more

than 70pc year-on-year.

The Mazda2, Mazda3 and Mazda6 were all among the top

three in their respective passenger car segments.

Mr Dickson also recognised the “fundamental contribution

Mazda’s dealers made to the brand’s success in 2008”.

He said Mazda would use the strong foundation laid by 2008

to combat the tough economic conditions expected in 2009.

“With our current range of exciting and affordable new cars,

and new models like the new generation Mazda3 and new

MX-5 roadster, we’re confident 2009 will be a good year for

Mazda in Australia.”

By VINNIE RODI

The pool-room of days gone by may not have been a den of in-iquity, but it was certainly an en-vironment where men gathered to gossip, smoke, fight, bet, and play snooker, billiards or 8-ball.

But as keen local players Rod Jones and Graeme Hamence pointed out this week, that was the 1920s.

Rod and Graeme believe the perception of pool isn’t what it should be, with the game be-coming more richly entrenched with the night life of Sunraysia residents.

“Many people for-get it’s a profession-ally played sport,” Rod said. “The perception around town is that it’s a game played by drunks in pubs.

“The truth is that it’s a great social game, and a good way to meet people from all walks of life.”

Originally based on a French game similar to croquet, eight ball has slowly developed into a popular English and Australian past-time.

In England, eight ball rivals cricket and soccer as the most watched sport on television.

As a result of the growing pub perception, the Sunraysia Eight Ball Association has been struggling to fill their competi-tive ranks.

Recent years have seen partic-ipation numbers fall, with only eight teams currently participat-ing in the summer competition.

“Eight ball is perceived very differently to what it was when I first started playing five years ago,” Rod said. “Unfortunately that means a lot of people have the wrong idea about what we

do every Tuesday night. To put it simply; we play pool and have a good time doing it.

“We have a great mix of peo-ple of all ages, and backgrounds who play the game, and simply enjoy the competition.”

The Sunraysia Eight Ball Asso-ciation was formed in December, 1981 by the late Ferdi Pretscher-er, who had seen the enjoyment players in the South Australian Association were having playing at a competitive level.

Mr Pretscherer wanted to

bring that same level of com-petitiveness and enjoyment to Sunraysia, forming the Sunray-sia Eight Ball Association as a competition between four local hotels.

“The Gol Gol, Red Cliffs, Merbein, and Irymple Hotels used to play against each other every week,” association secre-tary Norma Wishart said. “Each hotel would enter a team, and then take it in turns to host the games.”

Mr Pretscherer had a bigger vision for the sport. He wanted the association to be eligble for the yearly competitive carnivals that South Australian players

were competing in.After expanding the associa-

tion to involve all interested par-ties, Sunraysia representatives have enjoyed success at carnivals across the country.

Each year in February two teams of seven get sent to the Victoria Country Cup to battle it out against 32 teams from across Australia, with this year’s cup due to be held in Ballarat.

“We travel as far as Warrnam-bool, Geelong, Bendigo, and many other country towns,”

Norma said. In May, two teams of

five players get sent to a mini-carnival in South Australia, where they face off against teams from the Riverland and Barossa Valley, with the South Australian Coun-try Carnival held in June against teams from Cedu-na, Coober Pedy, Mount Gambier, and Kangaroo Island.

“Playing in these car-nivals throughout the year is one of the perks of the Sunraysia Associa-tion,” Rod said.

“We want to change the image people associ-

ate with eight ball, and breathe a bit of life back into the com-petition by getting more people involved with the sport. So many of the younger generation only play pool when they’re out for a drink with their mates. A lot of them have the potential to be a member of a team that competes at the carnival level.”

With the Winter competi-tion starting in February, the as-sociation is looking for anyone interested in playing to contact Norma Wishart on 5021 3354.

The group will also hold their next general meeting on March 16, at the Irymple Hotel from 8pm.

They’re behind the 8-ball

WHEN Mildura’s Matt George set himself a goal of compet-ing in the 2008 Australian Red Cross Murray River Mara-thon, he made sure that fit-ness wouldn’t be an issue.

For nine months leading up to the event, the Mildura Council engineering supervi-sor, and regular sportsman, spent gruelling hours plug-ging away in the gym, running mini-marathons, and rowing kilometre after kilometre.

All this was done in an ef-fort to get his body and mind into peak physical, and men-tal fitness for the 404km race, something he says was one of the toughest challenges he has undertaken.

“I was going to the gym four or five times a week,” Matt said. “In terms of my rowing regime, I would either start from the Rowing Club at Apex park and row 22km to Coomealla and back, or do a 7km round trip to the weir.”

Matt’s determination and hard work paid off, with the

33-year-old crossing the fin-ish line third in the Single Recreational Kayak Long Open class, with a combined time of 45 hours and 15 min-utes, 11 hours behind second place Jason Baldwin, and 30 minutes in front of fourth place David Moloney. His efforts helped raise $500 for Red Cross.

“It was one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life,” Matt said “But at the same time it was one of my most satisfying achievements. To get to the finish line and rea-

lise I had accomplished some-thing I wanted to achieve was an incredible feeling. One I’m looking forward to experienc-ing again in future races.”

He said he would never have been able to complete the journey without the support of friends, family, and most importantly wife Natasha.

“Natasha and the fam-ily have just been great,” he said. “They were all very sup-portive of what I was trying to achieve, and were offer-ing plenty of encouragement from the sidelines.”

The marathon sees a number of individuals, and relay teams race in an effort to raise money for the Red Cross, while a number of vol-unteer doctors, physio’s, and residents dedicate their week to the smooth running of the event, and most importantly the welfare of all the entrants.

“The work they (volun-teers) do is fantastic,” Matt said. “We had a camp that would just pack up and move to the next checkpoint to make sure everyone was ok, and weren’t struggling too much with the race. Some of the massages I received were gold, so just that alone was worth it.”

Raced over five days be-tween December 27 and New Years Eve, the mammoth jour-ney is split into separate legs to ensure competitors receive plenty of rest and recovery at day’s end.

Rowers start in Yarrawon-ga, rowing 94km to Tocum-wal on day one, and 96km to Picnic Point on day two. Day three consists of a 76km jour-ney to Echuca, with a further 63km rowed to Torrumbarry on day four. The event finally reaches its conclusion in Swan Hill after another 75kms.

Last year marked the final time the Red Cross would run the event, with the YMCA set to take over in 2009.

Matt said he hopes to be surrounded by team mates in 2009, rather than undertake the journey alone for a second time.

“When we stopped at checkpoints you could see the way teams were interacting, simply having fun with the whole experience,” he said.

“Team satisfaction is very different to that of individual accomplishment. I’ve done the marathon by myself, now I want to be a part of a team and enjoy the experience from the other side of the fence.

“I’m in the process of put-ting together a team in a dou-ble kayak with about 10 to 12 people. My hope is to raise a bit more money, and really enjoy the occasion away with mates.”

SIDECAR racing of the best kind will again feature at Mildura’s Ol-ympic Park Speedway this coming Sunday night, with the Woodstock 2009 Victorian Sidecar Champi-onship.

A crack field has been select-ed to contest the championship, which will take the State winner through to the Australian Sidecar Final, to be held in Mildura over the last weekend of March.

Again the Mildura field will contain the current and former winners of the World Sidecar Gold Cup as well as former State Champions, so the action will be hot right from the start of the 20 heat races to the Woodstock Vic-torian final event, which will be the highlight of the night.

FavouritesCurrent Australian champi-

ons, Darrin Treloar/Justin Plaist-ed should start as title favourites but they will come under extreme pressure from Murray Bridge based, Mick Headland/Paul Wa-ters, who have beaten Treloar fairly and squarely in at least two recent significant outings, includ-ing the first round of the Mildura Sidecar Shootout, held at Olym-pic Park just a week ago.

Tough riding will also come from local riders Warren Monson/Deven Gates, Jason Bradshaw/Si-mon Cohrs, Byren Gates/Mick O’Loughlin and Clint Mayes/Mark Lucas.

Visitors Mark Mitchell/Tom Golding, who have been barn storming all tracks this year will be joined by Broken Hill favou-rites, Rick Howse/Adam Com-

mons, fresh from a big win in Wagga Wagga last weekend, in a preliminary for the New South Wales title and after their famous second place behind Treloar and Plaisted at Kings Lynn in England last year, when they ran a very impressive meeting in the World Sidecar Gold Cup to take the sil-ver medal.

The whole field of 16 will have an impact as Kane Irwin/Jeremy Sherwood, Mark Plaisted/Sam Harrison(SA), and Victori-ans Simon Hartley/Peter Taylor, Mark Radford/Steven Stagg, Andy O’Rourke/Alan Brabender and Chris Holmes/Neale Hancock

get set to fight it out against Kel O’Neill/Peter Harvey and Eng-land’s Mick Cave/Daniel Mitchell.

Local hopesLocal riders who are former

champions include Jason Brad-shaw, Byren Gates and more re-cently Warren Monson and each of them, with their respective passengers, all know their way around the Mildura track as well as any rider.

Any of them could be a big chance for top place on the po-dium, or at least best Victorian to finish, to claim the prestigious,

direct qualification position into the Australian final to be held in Mildura, just nine short weeks from now.

The South Australian pair-ing of Mark Mitchell and Tom Golding are possibly the most improved team currently going around and Mitchell has adapted his style well to suit the Mildura way of going.

The diminutive Mitchell, as a rider, probably moves around the machine more than any other rid-er but it does give him good grip and speed.

Mick Headland and Paul Wa-ters have been tested heavily in re-

cent times, but have managed to come through some very strong fields with the best result.

Apparently their only failing was in the recent South Australian titles, held at Gillman, where they got a relatively tough call which denied them the opportunity of featuring prominently in the fi-nal.

If one was seeding riders di-rectly into an Australian Champi-onship, the Headland and Waters team would be one of the first selected, especially for their enor-mous entertainment value.

They ride so fast and use such wide lines that most other rid-ers can’t match their track speed, which is very similar to the amaz-ing O’Brien brothers, who were so successful prior to their recent retirement.

Mick goes about his work ever so quietly, doing his own engines and going about his business with conviction.

The team has now had many meetings at Mildura, where they have tried various strategies to now give themselves their best chance of winning an Australian Championship.

Holding the Woodstock Vic-torian title meeting this Sunday night will for many older Olym-pic Park patrons be a nostalgic return to the commencement of speedway at Mildura nearly half a century ago.

Sunday nights were a vacant night for most families at that time, but commercial reality soon hit at all entertainment venues ne-cessitating a change.

Olympic Park gates will open at 5pm, with senior practice com-mencing at 5.30pm.

A junior support program will commence at 6.30pm, with the rider introduction and racing set to start at 7.30pm.

Olympic Park has full catering available and there must be no BYO by law.

For visitors to the area Olym-pic Park can be found straight out Eleventh Street west.

They breed ‘em tough in the Moncur family. But to fight your way back from a horrific fall with a chance of representing your country in the next Olympics,

The para-cycle racer

THE statistics on Australian ac-cidents resulting in people losing the use of their limbs is frighten-ing. Just ask Jarrod Moncur – he’s among them.

He reels off the ‘numbers’ – around 70 percent are male, and most are in the 16 to 25-year-old age group. Most were injured in motorcycle accidents.

Not Jarrod. He fell 11 metres out of a cherry picker while lopping branches in the family’s Queen-sland business, Chipmunks Tree Services.

Many readers would know, or have heard of, Jarrod’s dad Danny Moncur, one of the larger-than-life legends, and genuine tough men, of Sunraysia football in the 70’s.

Jarrod’s a chip off the old block. At 25 he looks a capable young bloke, broad shoulders, confident, relaxed…but you get the feeling you wouldn’t mess with him, de-spite the fact he’s in a wheelchair.

According to Danny, one bloke in a Queensland pub has already

made that mistake, and paid the penalty.

And there’s another couple of things that sets Jarrod apart from his peers – one of his goals is to continue hospital visits to let oth-er accident victims know that life doesn’t necessarily have to be over for them…

…And he’s set his sights on be-ing picked to represent Australia in the para-cycle team for the London Olympics in 2012, despite the fact he’s only been in his three-wheel hand-propelled racing bike for nine months.

He’s got some stiff competition – there’s three ‘top guns’ above him, including the current Aussie champ from Perth. Jarrod has already won two bronze medals from two at-tempts on the current Australian para-cycling tour, and has a chance to go one or two better this week-end when he again takes on the best of the best – starting with a 33 kilometre race on the purpose-built Casey Fields circuit at Cranbourne

tomorrow, and then the gruelling St Kilda criterium on Sunday.

Jarrod is prepared to do what-ever it takes to get to the top – he’s ready to start an intensive training program, combined with gymnasi-um work for increased upper body strength.

And there’s a better-than-even chance he’ll be taken under the wing of professional coach/athlete Darron Shields of Melbourne and his Team Spirit race crew of elite-level para-cycle racers. Darren, 40, is one of them, the result of a bike accident in the UK six years ago.

He’s got a lot of time for Jarrod, and wants to harness his potential, but first, he says, the ‘youngster’ has to prove himself in the short term, with extra training, and consistency on the Australian circuit.

“Medium-term he can make the Australian team for the world championships in Melbourne next year, and long term he is certainly capable of making the Australian paralympic team for London in

The Moncur name is well known in Sunraysia. Danny Moncur, now 64, coached and played with Mildura and Merbein Football Clubs in the early 70’s, and made a comeback later on with a season in the Millewa league. Son Troy, 28, is the current coach of Robinvale. Danny played over 300 games of football at various levels (he was suspended for another 48), played with 11 different clubs in four states, including at representative level, had nine years coaching (taking Merbein to the 1975 flag), and is a regular visitor to Mildura, visiting family and long-time friends. Danny has been involved in the excavation, landscaping and tree removal business in Queensland for the past decade. Jarrod and Troy are among his four boys and two adopted daughters.

that puts you in a wheelchair takes a special mental and physical effort. And then to be in well… the Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE has the story on…

with a will of iron

2012,” Darren said. “At this stage it’s all about times, and that means averaging 32.7kph over a 20-kilo-metre race.” Jarrod doesn’t fear the challenge – or the speed, having al-ready ‘clocked’ a 65kph (downhill) burst, and consistently achieving around 30kph average during cur-rent races.

Darren said he’ll be doing some work with Jarrod during 2009, and if the improvement and commit-ment is still there by the end of the year, he would be invited into Team Spirit, with funding and oth-er support available long term.

“He’s certainly in the right age bracket,” Darren said. “He’s got a lot to learn, but plenty of time to achieve. Put it this way, the bloke who won the para-cycle event in the Beijing Olympics was 50.”

Jarrod says he is keen to step up the training program – he’s already gone from doing a mere four to six kilometres a day up to between 25 and 30 kilometres, going through several of the lightweight carbon

fibre racing machines in the pro-cess. His latest bike was obtained second hand for around $3000, but the top-of-the range model can cost up to $15,000. And athletes have to buy their own machines.

Danny doesn’t see that as a major issue. He says the family was fully supportive of Jarrod, ac-companying him to many races around Australia, and would do what it takes to make sure Jarrod has all the right equipment for his assault on the world titles, and London.

As well as having the right mindset in the world of sport, Jar-rod is not prepared to just sit on his backside work-wise either. He is still qualified to drive a wide range of heavy equipment, and can’t wait to get back into a full-time role with dad’s Chipmunks team. Things are in limbo at pres-ent pending the outcome of a court case arising from Jarrod’s fall.

It must have been a horrifying accident, but he gives the details in

a matter-of-fact way. He was work-ing about 11 metres up when the bucket of the cherry picker sud-denly tipped, throwing him out.

Jarrod spent almost four months in hospital, and then on a rehabilitation program for six months. It would have been a crushing blow to most, but Jarrod decided to turn a negative into a positive, and got back into the so-cial scene, and footy circles, and then the motivational field, re-turning to hospital to talk to other young accident victims about their recovery program, and mindset.

“I wanted them to know that it didn’t have to be the end of their

world,” he said. “If I was able to get a social life back, drive a car and get my own unit, so could they. Pretty soon I was also speak-ing to their parents, other family members and friends on how they could cope, and help.”

Jarrod said his talks seemed to be well received, and he is keen to continue to help out with hospi-tal visits, and also talking to insur-ance companies about the issue.

Word soon spread about Jar-rod’s impromptu ‘welfare’ work, and he and his family, especially Danny, are extremely proud that an accident victim-turned para-plegic found him via Facebook, asked for advice on driving ma-chinery, and now successful runs his own company called ‘Para-Excavations.’

With the injury putting paid to a promising football career that included Queensland State and Brisbane Division One games (including a premiership with his then 50-year-old dad), Jar-

rod had to find a new sport, and started with wheelchair basket-ball – known in sporting circles as ‘murderball.’

“I was too slow,” he admits. “I was enjoying the pubs, the social scene too much. I just couldn’t keep up with my team-mates, or the opposition.”

Then a mate suggested getting a hand cycle chair to build up stamina, and speed – and the rest is history.

Or it will be if Jarrod continues along his current path – dedicated to training, listening to the experts and following their advice, and continuing with the right mindset as well as the demanding physical aspects of the sport.

Three years isn’t a long time, but indications are there’s a better than even chance that this like-able young bloke with the king-size grin to match his heart will be wearing the famous green and gold in London – and the whole of Sunraysia will be backing him.

He was working about 11 metres up when the

bucket of the cherry picker suddenly tipped,

throwing him out.

MILDURA now has an official Dragon Boat Club to add to a long list of sports in the region.

Formation of the club followed two meetings or-ganized by long-time Dragon Boat supporter Tubby Ramsay.

Tubby said yestrday that while there was still a lot to do, such as coming up with a team name and logo and raising funds to get started, the first priority on

the agenda was to recruit some members.

“While ini-tial interest has been great, we’d ultimately like to have two teams to foster some c o m p e t i t i o n within the club,” he said.

Tubby has al-ready organized the donation of some old paddles for the boat, and is keen to see the new club get hold of a second-hand racing boat as soon as possible.

The sport of

Dragon Boat rac-ing evolved from ancient Chinese traditions, and is today extremely popular around Australia around the globe. The nearest club to Mildura is based in Adelaide.

He invited anyone inter-ested in joining a social, active and fun sport to contact with n e w l y - e l e c t e d publicity officer Nardia Sheriff on 0405 315 713 or [email protected].

SUNRAYSIA top fuel drag racer Phil Lamattina has extended his ANDRA Top Fuel cham-pionship lead with a domi-nant performance at the latest round in Queensland.

Lamattina was on fire all weekend, qualifying at the top of the order, in the process set-ting the quickest elapsed time and highest top speed of the round – 4.79 seconds at more than 500km/h – in warm con-ditions, which weren’t ideal.

“The track got too hot dur-ing the day and didn’t cool off at night,” he said.

“Up at Queensland the day temperature was high but at night it was still about 26 degrees so there was no real chance for the track to cool off.

“Also, there weren’t a huge number of competitors at the event to add to the grip levels.

“We thought, once the sun went down, the conditions would be better, but the track just didn’t perform as well as we thought it was going to, so we could only push out rela-tively slow times,” he said.

So it was a matter of which team could manage the condi-tions best, and the Lamattina outfit shone through.

“It was fortunate for us we’ve been able to tune our car to those trickier slower times due the recent warmer meet-ings,” Lamattina said.

“Coming from Sydney (the previous round) where the track conditions were very tricky and hot, Theo (the team’s head tuner) took that data away and saw how we could improve on it.

“It’s like any form of rac-ing. The more laps you do the better you become, and we’ve been doing a lot of runs in the summer.”

The “slower” times Lamat-tina refers to were still pretty quick compared to his rivals’ times.

There were five four-sec-ond passes over the entire weekend. Four of them were made by the Lamattina team in their Fuchs dragster.

After disposing of Alan ‘Dobbo’ Dobson in the first elimination round, Lamattina

enjoyed a smooth run to the fi-nal, where he came up against fellow Sunraysia driver Darren Morgan, who was back after destroying his machine at the previous round in Sydney, be-cause of a mechanical fault.

Running a conservative set-up due to less-than-ideal track conditions, the Fuchs outfit had done enough to beat their fellow Sunraysia team to take the round win, and the bonus points for being the quickest qualifier of the meeting.

Despite the team’s domi-nant performance, there was one minor hurdle to overcome at the very end of the meeting, just to keep the Lamattina out-fit on its toes.

After finishing and win-ning the final, Phil released the parachutes critical to slowing the car down after it’s 500km/h run, but only one of the two chutes released.

This meant he used al-most all of the 800-metre run-off area.

“Normally we’d pull up in about 500 metres, but I took up about 760 metres.

I was tugging on the brakes pretty hard!” he said.

The round win has el-evated Lamattina to 425 points, 115 clear of reigning champion Phil Read with three rounds remaining.

Despite the healthy points buffer, the Wemen-based driver says his team has no intention of backing off.

“There are still three more meetings to go and we want to try to win all three of them,” Lamattina said.

“We’re not taking a back seat on anything.

“Ideally we’d like to have the same sort of points buffer coming into the last round, so we can really enjoy our-selves at that meeting and just take the weekend as it

comes with no pressure.”Mathematically the Fuchs

team would need another round win to cement its championship aspirations.

The next round of the Australian Top Fuel Cham-pionship will be fought out at Western Sydney Interna-tional Dragway, at the Sum-mernationals, on February 13-15.

Merbein South v Workers Gol Gol

After narrowly missing out on the points against West in what

turned out to be a thriller at the Aero Ovals last Saturday afternoon, Mer-bein South will be determined to pull one back on Workers when the two teams collide at Chaffey Park to-morrow.

Despite substantial partnerships between Mark O’Donnell (91) and Alex Kuhanez (27), and then Chris Williams (28) and O’Donnell again, the Saints did well to restrict the home side to a total of 188 runs con-sidering the excellent batting condi-tions on offer.

The club’s highly regarded new ball attack of Shane Trinick and Mat-thew Walder got the job done taking four of the nine wickets to fall last weekend, while the wily leg-spin of co-captain, Mark White, accounted for the key dismissals of both Greg Norton and O’Donnell.

In pursuit of the 189-run target, the Saints suffered an immediate set-back when White was given leg-be-fore-wicket by umpire, Dennis Berry, with a further 183 still required for victory.

Useful contributions from out-standing youngster, Adam Thomson (54) and Aaron Finch (40) put their team right back in the hunt, and when tailenders Phil Matotek and Walder combined for a 30-run stand, it looked as if Merbein South could pull off a remarkable victory.

Unfortunately, an inspirational final over delivered by West quick Brent Johns sealed their fate as he re-moved both Matotek and Gary Issacs to leave the Saints just six runs short of what would have been a fairytale finish.

Tomorrow’s fixture against Work-ers could well prove to be a season defining moment for the home side as they attempt to reduce the current 17-point deficit between themselves and a place in the major round.

With a flat and true centre wicket square expected to be produced by curator Roger Walder and the Chaffey Park outfield in lightning fast condi-tion, the likes of White, Thomson, Finch and ‘Jacko’ Armsden will really need to ‘cash in’ and put an imposing tally on the scoreboard.

Plenty will also be expected of the Merbein South pace attack, as they attempt to stymie the opposition’s potent batting mix, with Walder, Ma-totek and the Trinick brothers ready and willing to meet the challenge head on.

Another gripping encounter was also played out at the Senior College last weekend, as Workers failed to consolidate their position on top of the table, eventually failing to defend their 193-run total.

Desperate to bring a recent run of

outs at the top of the batting order to an end, Tooleybuc all-rounder Jeremy Barnes took it upon himself to rectify the situation, his unbeaten knock of 78, along with a fine hand of 61 runs from Brett Cumming, proving to be the mainstay of the combine’s in-nings.

Toiling hard in difficult condi-tions, Cumming (2/17) once again led the way forward for his side with swing-man, Stephen Gribble, and young paceman, Matt Cameron, providing excellent back-up support, however they were unable to break a match winning, 92-run stand for the fifth wicket between Mildura Settlers pair Dan Wood and Regan Connell.

A more consistent effort will be needed at the batting crease this time around by the Carramar Drive com-bination, with David Hogarth, Nick Carroll, Simon Groves and the re-turning Wade Hancock all looking to throw their bats into the run-scoring ring.

Mildura West v Irymple

A highly entertaining affair is ex-pected at the Aero Ovals tomor-

row afternoon, as Mildura West and Irymple slug it out for the outright leadership of the SCA first division competition.

In a reflection of just how tight the 2008/09 season is, West man-aged to claim top honours with their hard fought five-run victory over the Saints, despite the fact that they were staring down the barrel of three suc-cessive losses heading into the festive season break.

It would appear that gutsy per-formances against East and Settlers in their previous two outings had given them the confidence and belief that they were still in the semi-finals mix, and on the back of a confidence boosting 91 from former skipper Mark O’Donnell, West clung on to record their fifth win of the season.

Encountering a particularly lean season with the bat, even by his own admission, O’Donnell has been re-turned to the important number three spot at the club since the de-parture of Gerard Sippel, a position whereby he has scored the bulk of his runs during a stellar 20-year-plus first division career.

Young opening bat, Alex Ku-hanez, once again justified his selec-tion by posting an important 27-run contribution at the top of the batting list against high quality opposition such as Shane Trinick and Matthew Walder, and then following that up by claiming two vital scalps during an impressive eight-over stint with the ball.

The final-over heroics of Brent Johns aside, it was once again York-shire tearaway Greg Norton who in-flicted the most damage for West in the field, with a three-wicket haul

taking his tally up to 16 so far during the 08/09 season.

You can be certain that the home side will be looking for redemption in this, their second showdown with the Swallows, after their 50-run first innings capitulation at Henshilwood Oval back in November.

On the back of O’Donnell’s re-turn to form, West will also look to skipper, Chris Williams, Jason Bell, Lachlan Skinner and Norton as they

strive to put the game beyond Irym-ple’s reach.

As always, the new ball combina-tion of Norton and Johns will take the game right up to the opposition with the likes of Luke Atkinson, Williams and Kuhanez waiting in the wings for their chance to put the Swallows on the back foot.

Despite finishing on the wrong side of their seventh and eighth round encounters against Merbein South and Workers Gol Gol respectively, Irymple returned to the winners list by recording a comfortable 34-run victory over Coomie last weekend.

Solid contributions with the bat from Jason Bruhn (58), Brendan Payne (33) and Nick Giofre (28) enabled the Swallows to register their 192-run tally, which ultimate-ly proved too much for the visiting Blues outfit.

The all-round skills of English-man, Scott Cunningham, were on full display last Saturday afternoon, as he followed up a handy knock of 20 by removing four of the opposi-tion, including top scorer, Jeremy Giddings, at a cost of just 28 runs from his allotted eight overs.

Fellow seamers Nathan Bromby and Simon Innes also joined in on the act by collecting one wicket apiece, with opener, Jeremy Weinert bowling well without luck, while spinners Jor-

dan Payne (2/20) and Glen Gascoyne (1/34) cleaned up the rest.

With Jake Reed expected to slot back into the mix, Irymple will be keen for a repeat dose of their sixth round bowling performance as they attempt to make early inroads against West, and the former Nursery Ridge flyer can count on some more than useful support from the likes of Weinert, Bromby and Cunningham.

In the batting stakes, Irymple

will be looking for more of the same from experienced campaigners such as Payne and Bruhn, while Giofre, Cunningham, Matt Button and Jor-dan Payne also have an important role to play as the visitors attempt to bat themselves into an unbeatable position.

Mildura East v Mildura Settlers

Another vitally important fixture in the context of 2008/09 season

is set to take place at Turf 1, as East strives to keep its finals dreams alive when they play host to Mildura Set-tlers on Saturday afternoon.

While they made have had the bye in local cricketing circles last weekend, the Mildura East Cricket Club took on the best that Country Victoria had to offer during the pen-ultimate round of the regional VB Twenty/20 competition.

With an unbroken run home to the final series, Mildura East really holds its destiny in its own hands, with every game from now right through until their Round 14 con-frontation with Irymple effectively a cut throat contest.

The inclusion of Andrew Ross to its middle order and the addition of Zimbabwean, Ian Nicolson, to its bowling stocks will certainly enhance

the club’s chances of playing a part in the major round.

Ross showed that he was still a force to be reckoned with during the recent Willowfest Australian Coun-try Cricket Club Championships, scoring an undefeated knock of 137 on the third day and then following that up with 156 on day four.

Appearing to be carrying some signs of ‘ring rust’, Nicolson still managed to claim three Coomealla Wentworth victims in his SCA de-but, and to tear a page out of the good old cliché book, he is certain to be better off for the run.

East will count on its batting strength as the team attempts to gain the upper hand over its oppo-sition, with the likes of the in-form Tom Vadlja, Jason Harris, Brad Thomas and Andrew Willison like-ly to be key contributors behind the club’s run-making effort.

With Darren Seaman due to make a long awaited return from injury, and Ross and Nicolson also a part of their make-up, the home side now boasts a bowling attack that lacks nothing when it comes to penetration and versatility.

Quick to recover from the dis-appointment of their eighth round loss to Mildura West, Settlers re-turned to somewhere near their best form as they turned the tables on Workers Gol Gol last weekend in a game that went right down to the wire.

Led by the return to batting form of tall Yorkshireman, Dan Wood (72) and first division rook-ie, Regan Connell (44), the Mildura Senior College based outfit fought back brilliantly from 5 for 65, to finish with a total of 197 runs for the loss of just one further wicket.

Signalling his intentions of pos-sible return to the bowling crease during his teams last start loss to West, seasoned performer, Ben Er-skine (3/32), joined forces with fel-low seamer, Simon Guthrie (3/23), to restrict the talented Workers line-up to a modest 193-run total during their 39 over stay at the crease.

There is still plenty of improve-ment to come from within the mi-nor premier’s camp, with top six batsmen Richie Wyld and Liam Andrews desperate to at least get on the board in this, the final one-day fixture of the season, while fellow top order bat, Jake Stanbrook, will be keen to build his first really ‘big one’ since returning from a brief stint in the Victorian Premier Crick-et competition.

The visitors will be forced to front up without the services of Brendan Rodgers, Ben Erskine and the travelling doctor, Ahmed Omar-jee at City Oval tomorrow after-noon, however Wyld has the luxury of calling upon the likes of Jake Av-ery, Jake Dickason and impressive ‘leggie’ Ben Rowles.

Workers look to end Saints’ march

CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR: Workers Gol Gol all-rounder, Ron Morello, • showing the makers name at the Mildura Senior College as young Settlers keeper, Jason Dean watches on. Unfortunately for Morello, this shot was pouched at the other end by opposing left arm ‘tweaker’, Liam Andrews.
