FAST approaching the fes-tive season, it is timely that one of our regular read-ers brought these unusual Christmas ‘cards’ to our at-tention.

We thought their uniqueness is certainly worth sharing.

They are all much smaller than the cards we know today, with two dat-ing back to around 1916,

and the other some time in the 1930s.

A ‘compliments of the season’ 1916/17 (right) bears the Union Jack and Naval fl ags, even though the card is Australian-based, and another (middle) is a straight-forward but intri-cate Christmas card that originated from the ship HMAS Australia, linked to Britain’s Grand Fleet.

It’s the one on the left that is the most intriguing, showing a hanging basket of fl owers swinging below the German Swastika.

What’s interesting is that inside the card, em-bossed with a lot of atten-tion to detail, is the fact that the card was published “by appointment to their Majesties, the King and Queen.”

What a card

IT’S the year 1909…100 years ago…how are these for a few statis-tics from the USA.

The average life expectancy was 47. Only 14 per-cent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only eight percent of homes had a tele-phone.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!

The average wage in 1909 was 22 cents per hour.

The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year.

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a den-tist $2500, a veterinar-ian between $1500 and $4000, and a mechani-cal engineer about $5000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at home.

Ninety percent of all doc-tors had no college education!

Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were four-teen cents a dozen, and coffee was fi fteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for sham-poo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor peo-ple from entering into their country for any reason.

Five leading causes of death were: Pneumonia and infl uenza, Tuber-culosis, diarrhea, heart disease and stroke.

The American fl ag had 45 stars.

The population of Las Ve-gas, Nevada, was only 30!

Crossword puzzles, canned

beer, and ice tea hadn’t been invented.

There was no Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write.

Only six percent of all Americans had grad-uated from high school...

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

Back then pharmacists said; ‘Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.’

Eighteen percent of house-holds had at least one full-time servant or do-mestic help.

There were about 230 re-ported murders in the entire USA.

And have a think about this…someone sent it us without typing it themselves. And it will be sent to others all over the world - all in a matter of seconds!

Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

THE Sunraysia Steam Preserva-tion Society (SSPS) is looking for new members to ensure the historic Tangyes Pumps at Psyche Bend remain open to visitors and the community.

The 120-year-old pumps are lovingly maintained and oper-ated by a small but dedicated group of members, but more are needed to ensure the running of the Psyche Pumps is a tradition that can continue for decades to come.

Society vice president Peter Wharton said this week the ma-jority of the 17 to 20 members are aged between 60 and 70, with only one or two under that age.

“We’re looking for some younger members so that we can train them up to become engi-neers,” Mr Wharton said.

“Anyone who’s retired and is willing to come down here and help out.

SSPS performs a range of tasks as part of its role as caretaker and operator of the historic pumps.

At least one member must be on hand each Tuesday and Thursday for the many tourist visits to the site. There were more than 20 visitors on Tuesday this

week alone.Mr Wharton said there would

also be restoration work on ad-ditional machinery and mainte-nance on the existing pumps and boiler.

He said new members would not only bolster the ranks of the Society, but provide a chance for people to up-skill.

“We’ve got two or three very qualifi ed engineers that could teach them,” Mr Wharton said.

“We’ve got people here who could teach them up to steam and engineers certifi cate.”

He explained that a steam ticket, which must be obtained outside the district, was needed to operate the pumps.

“They can certainly work on the pumps, but when it’s got steam up and going, you have to

have an A-grade engineers cer-tifi cate to drive the engine,” Mr Wharton said.

“And you have to have a fi rst-class steam ticket to operate the boiler.”

Both of which could be stud-ied under the guidance of exist-ing members.

Mr Wharton said new mem-bers were also needed to en-sure the future expansion of the pumps.

“We’ve got another boiler we’re in the process of restoring and putting back together,” he said.

“We’ve got a steam traction ploughing engine that we want to restore, but we just haven’t got the manpower and time to do it.

“If someone was interested there’s quite a bit of work they can do.”

It’s also an opportunity to work on some of the most unique machinery in Victoria – there are very few pumps like the Tangyes that still exist in the State.

The pumps are 120 years old and were designed by George Chaffey.

Mr Wharton said unless a fresh injection of members was

The Sunraysia Steam Preservation Society is looking for new members to ensure it can keep the historic Tangyes Pumps at Psyche Bend open to visitors. But at the moment, the group is afraid it is...

NEW BLOOD: Sunraysia • Steam Preservation Society

needs new members to help people like society vice

president Peter Wharton maintain the immaculate

Tangyes Pumps that are so much a part of this region’s

history.

“We’re looking for some younger

members so that we can train them up to become engineers.”– Peter Wharton

forthcoming it could ultimately mean the pumps would have to be closed to the public.

“If we aren’t able to get more members, eventually they will be closed down because there will be no-one here to run it,” he said.

The SSPS holds meetings on the fi rst Monday of each month and conducts at least fi ve run-ning days – when the pumps are in operation – each year.

Anyone interested in becom-ing a member can contact the Sunraysia Steam Preservation So-ciety on 5024 1838 after hours or 5024 5637.

The pumps are open each Sunday between 10am and mid-day, but only as a static display.

MORE than 2000 energy-hun-gry light bulbs were replaced with energy-effi cient ones in homes and business across Sunraysia last weekend – the fi rst of four weekends that Bendigo Bank’s ‘Generation Green Ban the Bulb’ cam-paign will run.

The campaign offers Vic-torian home and business owners the opportunity to replace their incandescent light bulbs with energy-sav-ing ones, installed free of charge by local community volunteer groups.

This year’s campaign is being rolled out to more than 50 communities across Victoria, with 300,000 globes set to be exchanged in more than 17,500 homes and 2500 businesses. The initiative will save about 150,000 tonnes in carbon emissions or the equivalent of taking 35,000 cars off our roads for a year.

Mildura Bendigo Bank branch’s Jack Dalton said the community’s response to the program had been overwhelming.

To have your old bulbs replaced free of charge visit or contact Bendigo Bank branch Langtree 03 5023 5578, Bendigo Bank branch Centro 03 5022 2377 or Bendigo Community Bank Branch Merbein 03 5025 1377.

2000 ‘hungry’ bulbs gone!

Thousands of emergency services volunteers will be recognised for their contributions in a $3.2 million government campaign entitled ‘Vital, Valued Victorians’, with Merbein’s Trevor Willcock to be amongst the bunch. The 20-year CFA veteran will join hundreds of Sunraysia residents to be acknowledged, as Victoria says a big...

Volunteer thank youBy VINNIE RODI

TREVOR Willcock has been a Merbein Country Fire Authority volunteer for 20 years, spending anywhere be-tween 40 to 50 hours a week responding to a variety of fi re and emergency situations.

And while it’s a ‘job’ that the 48-year-old has done willingly, it’s one that is vital to the community he loves, with Trevor one of 84,000 Victorians to be recognised as part of a government ini-tiative.

Entitled ‘Vital, Valued Victorians’, the aim of the $3.2 million campaign is to showcase the work Emergen-cy Service Organisations and their volunteers do on a daily basis, whilst demonstrating the crucial role people like Trevor play within their in-dividual communities. The Victoria Government will run the initiative for the next two months, with a number of advertisements already ap-pearing in newspapers and on television.

Trevor said that while no one did volunteer work to get recognition, he was glad to see people being acknowl-edged for their work and dedication.

“It’s fantastic to see the government recognising emergency volunteer services

like the CFA,” he said.“I don’t think community

members realise the amount of work and commitment that goes into these organi-

sations until they’re forced to dial 000, and it’s because of that fact that volunteers are sometimes forgotten.”

Trevor’s CFA career start-

ed somewhat strangely, with the third generation Merbein resident simply ‘invited’ to watch the group in action.

“I’d been a scout leader for 10 years at the time, and was at a point where I want-ed a change and a chance to do something different,” he said. “I’ve always been keen to volunteer within the com-munity, mainly as a way of giving something back to the town I’ve lived in my whole life.”

Trevor said that back in those days potential volun-teers were simply invited to observe from a safe distance, and then given the opportu-nity to decide if they wanted to join up.

“We do things differently now, but back then the norm was to simply go along for the ride,” he said. “The main thing that drew me in was the friendly atmosphere and ‘family’ environment of the place, and the way volunteers supported one another.

“From the moment I saw the guys in action I knew it was something I could han-dle, and wanted to be a part of.”

It’s that ‘family’ vibe that has continued to appeal to Trevor over the years, saying it was one of the reasons he had stayed so active within the group.

“To do this job you fi rstly have to be commit-ted, because there’s a lot involved,” he said. “Not only do we deal with prop-erty and ‘bush’ fi res, but we also offer support at motor accidents and help educate the community about fi re awareness.

“While we’re very fortu-nate to not live in a major bush fi re area, there are the occasionally bad property fi res or road accidents, and having a group of people you can lean on is impor-tant.”

And while Trevor said it’s a job that required avail-ability at odd times, it was something he would contin-ue to do while he was still fi t and able.

“There have been times where I’ve missed the oc-casional birthday party because of a call,” he said. “And I’ve had dozens of 3am call-outs as well, but it’s part of the job, and is something I enjoy doing.

“I’ll probably keep go-ing until the body has had enough, which could be years down the track.

“There are plenty of guys who are in their 50s and 60s and are still going strong, so it might be a while before I call it quits.”

BIRCHIP Cropping Group (BCG) will host its Wimmera Research Field Day next Thursday, October 8 from 9am at Patton’s property, located on St Arnaud-Wycheproof Road, 25 kilo-metres north of St Arnaud.

The site is said to be “looking a picture” after above averagre Septem-ber rains, with the wheat fl ourish-ing, the canola fl owering, and lentils booming.

The day will commence with a discussion held in the ‘renowned’ BCG soil pit, led by Melissa Cann from the Department of Primary In-dustries, with participants to hear up-to-date information on herbicide tolerance in cereals throughout the morning.

Several topics and guest speak-ers will be on show, including Rob Wheeler (SARDI) to discuss disc versus knife seeding systems, Greg Toomey (Landmark) talking about wheat varieties, Dr Russell Eastwood (AGT) discussing barley agronomy, Kate Burke (John Stuchbery and Associates) talking about unlock-ing phosphorus for pulses, and Rob Velthuis (NovaZymes) discussing herbicide tolerant canola.

A forum led by Colin Peace (Ex-ecutive Offi cer Australian Fodder and Industry Association) will be held after lunch, where questions relat-ing to hay production and marketing will be answered.

Entry for BCG members is free, with non-members admitted for $30. More information is available by con-tacting the BCG on (03) 5492 2787, or by visiting www.bcg.org.au.

GARDENING tips, building ideas or a new wardrobe. The 2009 Mildura Sun Festival has the lot.

The festival is the region’s annual summit for devotees of sustainable communities and hundreds of like-minded people are expected to de-scend on the Benetook Ave-nue fi eld days site next to the Mildura’s Sunraysia Institute of TAFE on Sunday to share ideas and products.

Gates will open at 10am and the day will include nu-merous exhibits, workshops, and presentations with key speakers including ABC Gar-dening Australia’s Josh Byrne, RIGHT, and noted builder Rob Hadden.

Josh will host two ses-sions at the festival. The fi rst, the Green Gardening workshop – looking at grow-ing your own food – from 9.30am to 12.45pm, and another Green Gardening workshop in the Zen Home Energies System tent from 2.30pm to 3.30pm.

Rob is an experienced builder who specialises in natural construction materi-als. Rob will host two prac-tical sessions on traditional home building techniques – lime rendering and plasters workshop from 10.30am –

12.15pm, and timber frame joinery between 1.30pm and 3pm.

Healthy discussions about some of the newest sustainable technologies and improvements are promised in a series of question and answer-style, informal pre-sentations throughout the day, while exhibitors will fea-ture installers of solar panels and grey water systems, home effi ciency auditors, bio-diesel producers, research and local government organisations, and Sustainability Victoria.

Festival coordinator, Alex Cross, is hoping for a large turnout of people to “just come down and have a great day together”.

“A sustainable commu-nity is an inclusive commu-nity,” he says.

Other, family-orientated activities planned include a used clothing and bric-a-brac store, organic food, children’s activities and live music.

A full program is avail-able from the Mildura Visi-tors Centre or on the event’s website at www.mildurasun-festival.com.au.

Twenty years on and Trevor is now the station’s Captain (a role he’s held for six years), in addition to work-ing for the Wentworth Council, saying that balancing the two had been diffi cult.

“Being Captain re-quires a lot of time, there are always media interviews, recruits to train and schools to vis-it,” he said. “And some-times it can feel like a full-time job.

“Luckily for myself, and many of the other volunteers, we have fl exible employers who help us fulfi l commit-ments required for both work and the CFA.”

People are encour-aged to show their sup-port for volunteers like Trevor by posting mes-sages online at www.volunteer.vic.gov.au, or by sending an SMS with ‘Vols’ and their message to 0488 505 050.

“Personally I think it’s a fantastic initia-tive, especially because it covers all emergency services, and not just the CFA,” Trevor said. “I know that I have a fan-tastic group of guys who dedicate a lot of their time, and it’s good to see them recognised.”

ROBINVALE’S 25 dedi-cated volunteer fi refi ght-ers now have one of the most modern fi re sta-tions in Victoria.

The new $1.6 mil-lion facility was offi -cially opened a week ago by Victorian Police and Emergency Services Minister Bob Cameron, marking a major up-grade for local fi refi ght-ers.

Robinvale’s volun-teer members respond to about 100 calls each

year, covering a 400 square kilometre service area.

As part of the offi cial opening proceedings, Captain Colin Egan was presented with a life membership with the Country Fire Authority in recognition of his ser-vices.

In addition to at-tending fi res in their service area, Robinvale volunteers also provide support to strike teams at campaign fi res across

Australia and assisted in fi ghting this year’s Black Saturday bushfi res.

The fi re station open-ing comes as fi refi ghters once again brace for yet another high-risk fi re season.

“With less than 30 days to go before the start of what is expected to be another challenging fi re season, all Victorians, no matter where they live, need to be on alert and start preparing now,” Mr Cameron said.

RECOGNITION: •


SHE is often seen out and about, especially out at Centro, zipping around in her electric wheelchair, the trademark smile plastered all over her face.

More often than not, Pam Fies-ley is accompanied by husband Eric, daughters Sharon and Jeni, or one of the carers who not only help her with basic needs, but who have also become her good friends over the years.

Family members proudly say that’s one of Pam’s traits… a soft, yet bubbly and infectious person-ality, and one which has captured the hearts of many who meet her. Daughter Jeni says it is nothing short of amazing what her mum has had to endure, and overcome, in recent years… including many added hurdles in recent months, “but she refuses to give in, and just keeps battling on.”

The Pam Fiesley-Mildura con-nection began in 1974, when she and Eric moved to this desert oa-sis, making their home at Nichols Point. In those early days, Pam played netball, and thought noth-ing of regularly walking the 10 ki-lometres into Mildura and back – while Eric taught maths at Irymple Technical School.

In the early 80s, Pam, then 34 and living in Mildura, got into the habit of walking Jeni and her sister Sharon to school, but by the time she returned home, she was having trouble lifting her feet up the two steps to the front door.

Not too many months later, Pam began to notice another both-ersome problem – she was develop-ing progressively worsening conti-nence problems, meaning she was up and down to the loo many times during the night.

Finally, she went to see gy-naecologist Dr Neil Fleming. As it happened, he had watched her walk up the path to the clinic, and com-mented on her “awkward walk.” Pam was referred to Dr Barry Dow-ty, who didn’t mince words. Worst scenario was a malignant brain tu-mor, at best a benign brain tumor… or possibly somewhere in between – Multiple Sclerosis.

Pam was referred to Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, where she underwent many days of tests… and then the diagnosis – she had Multiple Sclerosis.

It was tough news for the whole

family, not just Pam, but Eric, Sha-ron, then aged 11, and Jeni, 9. But Pam took it on the chin, and al-though the trip home was a little subdued, within days Pam was her usual cheerful self, and determined

to go on with life. What she didn’t know was that

the MS-affected nerves were mainly in Pam’s mid-spinal region – and everything below that was affected – legs, and bladder/bowel func-

tions. Despite some operations, her problems worsened, with several ‘accidents,’ until a colostomy opera-tion in the late 1990s.

About that same time, Pam de-cided to hand in her driving licence,

Fiesley and her family tell the story warts and all…the highs, the lows, the frustrations, the hardships Life has dealt her a cruel blow, but she has proven to be strong and courageous in mind, spirit and Her family last week told their story to the Mildura Weekly. As Frank Sinatra might sing…

as she felt her physical reactions were no longer good enough to be in full control of a vehicle on the roads.

But as she became less mo-bile, she put her mind to things that she could still do. She resur-rected a simple tapestry given to her 16 years earlier, and quickly fi nished it, enjoying the fi nished product and proudly displaying it at home.

But with the tapestry hanging on the wall, boredom had set in, so Eric bought her a more challeng-ing one. It was fi nished in three months. A friend suggested she enter the tapestry in a show, “just for a giggle,” but she shouldn’t expect to do any good. Eric was later to say; ”You should have seen her face light up when that same friend phoned to say Pam’s work had won second prize.”

In the early stages of Pam’s loss of mobility, walking aids were adopted, beginning with a simple walking stick. Some years later she ‘graduated’ to a walking frame, and then a push-along wheelchair. When she wore that one out, Eric got her another one, and later still, an electric wheelchair.

It gave her the extra mobility she needed, not to do more things for herself, but to get out and help others, including those with simi-lar problems to hers, along with

school children, explaining the condition when it was brought into focus by the annual MS Read-a-thons.

Pam even guest-lectured for a

number of weeks at TAFE as a vol-unteer, discussing with participants how her condition had progressed within her, and how she dealt with it. She told it as it was, not pulling any punches, despite the personal nature of the disease.

Some years later, she was doing the same thing with interest groups in Merbein. She wanted (and still wants) folks to understand that

MS was not just something to do with a Read-a-thon.

As the years passed, Eric took a ‘package’ from TAFE (1996) to become Pam’s full-time carer. Ac-crued ‘super’ eventually funded Pam’s wheelchair-accessible Re-nault van, giving her mobility for outings and shopping trips.

Now it’s nearing the end of 2009, a year that has meant more diffi culties, and problems, for Pam. Family members tell how an adenocarcinoma (bowel cancer) had formed in the now-redundant part of Pam’s lower bowel. Re-moval of that required a major operation, and although Pam was

subsequently cleared of cancer, she had been further affected by the procedure. Despite her weakened state, the smile never left her face, and she tried to fi ght back, the same as she did after a gall bladder removal, and hysterectomy.

But then she caught a simple cold, and was so weak she couldn’t even cough. Eric called an ambu-lance, and Pam was hospitalised.

The cold developed into pneumo-nia, and while that was happen-ing, the left side of Pam’s mouth suddenly drooped – she was hav-ing a stroke.

Doctors told the family that there was a bleed deep within Pam’s right brain hemisphere, and she was air-ambulanced to St. Vin-cent’s Hospital in Melbourne. For-tunately, the bleeding stopped, but Pam’s lungs were congested, and she still couldn’t cough. Antibiot-ics weren’t working, and one night she came very close to death.

A drug they call ‘The Last Chance antibiotic’, Vancomycin, was administered, and almost

straight away Pam opened her eyes and smiled broadly at her fam-ily and nurses with the ‘working’ part of her mouth. She was on the mend yet again.

Family members talk proudly of Pam’s attitude… for instance she will always smile and say a soft “thank you” to anyone who comes to see her or help her. She would thank a nurse who was do-ing something as simple as giving Pam her tablets, taking her tem-perature, or doing other simple little jobs. There have been many comments about Pam’s attitude making up for the lack of thanks exhibited elsewhere in the wards.

After a week in Melbourne, Pam was returned to Mildura Base Hospital, and a month or so later was collected by Eric and returned home. Her speech hadn’t been af-fected by many years of MS, but within moments of the stroke, it deteriorated signifi cantly, but she could still make herself under-stood.

Unfortunately, her ability to swallow correctly had been com-promised and within a week of re-turning home, Pam aspirated some drinking water and was quickly re-turned to hospital with aspiration pneumonia.

From previous page•

Three weeks of recovery was fol-lowed by three more weeks of rest at Mildura Nursing Centre, Ontar-io Avenue. According to her fam-ily, you could still see by the look in her eyes that she loved the staff and what they did… they even man-aged to give her a spa bath, which she loved. It had been many decades since she’d had one. She loved the centre too, but badly wanted to come home again.

In early September, two days af-ter Pam and Eric’s 39th wedding an-niversary – her wish came true, and she was sadly farewelled from Mil-dura Nursing Centre, going home with Eric.

The family is at pains to point out the amazing support through all Pam’s treatment, such as TRIO Sup-port Services staff, in particular Ther-ese Rhodes, and Pam’s Case Manag-er Peta Webber of Community Care Options, who constantly produces support and funding marvels, and a host of other people that Pam and her family describe as ‘pure angels.’

These are among the people in Pam’s life who are helping her along life’s hard road, and there are many more, including the many shop assistants, such as those at her favourite shop – Noni B, who are constantly asking after her – and passers-by she meets on her wheel-chair travels.

She is also fondly asked after not just by friends of the family, but friends of friends who have never met her, but heard about her fi ght, and who are intrigued by this spe-cial lady.

Family members have a simple message to end their story. They say that now that our readers know a bit about Pam’s triumphs, trials and tribulations, they shouldn’t be scared to say a simple ‘hello’ if they see her getting around via her elec-tric ‘wheels’ once again.

It is a case of one step at a time for what many people describe as ‘a remarkable lady,’ a person who regularly tells her family and friends that she couldn’t go through what she does without their love and sup-port.

A doctor, commenting only re-cently on Pam’s 23 years of fi ghting serious – and frequent – health is-sues, described her as “amazing,”

Her proud family, friends and carers say; “we know!”

That’s why thelady is a champ

JUST a couple of weekends ago, Senior Constable Mark Helyer of the Victoria Police Search and Rescue Squad was working in freezing conditions in the snow-covered High Country, helping four young, inexperienced and ill-equipped backpackers get their vehicle out of a bog.

And just last week he and other members of the squad were in sunny Mildura, searching the murky depths of the Murray River near Merbein as part of an ongo-ing police operation for the recov-ery of dumped stolen vehicles.

“It’s the diversity of the job that is one of the appealing as-pects,” he says. “We never know from one day to the next which part of Victoria we will be work-ing, and there is a wide variety of jobs.”

Mark was working the river with squad members Senior Constable Ryan Hartshorne and Leading Senior Constable Simon Ranik, under team leader Acting Sergeant Scott Bower.

They were working out of a $60,000 infl atable, loaded with latest high-tech sonar equipment and diving gear, a far cry from when the squad was founded 52 years ago, then operating with the most basic of equipment.

Simon is a search and rescue veteran, with 30 years experience under his belt. Jobs in the squad are hard to come by. There are few vacancies.

Police members work hard to achieve the wide diversity of qualifi cations necessary to make them eligible… and if they hap-pen to score a vacancy, they tend to stick it out for many years be-cause of the nature and variety of the work.

One of their biggest jobs in re-cent times was leading the search for State Minister Tim Holding, who was lost on snow-covered Mount Feathertop for more than 48 hours.

The search tied up half the squad’s total strength of 20 per-

sonnel, and was just one of many Alpine rescues carried out by squad members each winter.

Most of them, like the Hold-ing search, have a happy ending, but there are other jobs that end up simply as retrieval of bodies, and there have been plenty of

them over the years, among them a family of four who went down in a light plane after the pilot went too low dodging cloud cover.

The bodies, and parts of the plane strewn over a wide area, were recovered in several metres of water about 100 metres offshore.

Scott Bower says it was one of the more memorable jobs, along with the time he helped retrieve a hang-glider – and his dog – who had misjudged a landing and end-ed up stuck high in the branches of a tree.


They’ve done everything from recovery of bodies from a plane wreckage off-shore, to helping Minister Tim Holding get off a freezing mountain, and rescuing a wayward hang-glider from a tree! And they’re often in Mildura in a case of…

TO many Sunraysia residents Ken Carr is the man who has worked tirelessly for the Mildura Trades and Labour Council and Mallee Family Care for almost 20 years.

But there’s a lot more to Ken’s life outside of Mildura.

It is a combination of those experiences which have led to Ken receiving a Senior Achiever Award at Victoria’s Government House last Fri-day.

While Ken is well known in Sunraysia, he has almost legendary status as a fi ghter for social justice as part of the trade union movement in Melbourne during the 1960s and 1970s, where he often made national news head-lines in his fi ght to see the av-erage worker treated fairly.

Ken was born in Red Cliffs in 1929 and lived much of his early life in Irymple before moving to Melbourne with his family at the beginning of the Second World War.

After working numer-ous jobs, Ken became one of the major organisers behind the fi esty Furnishers Trade Union.

By 1960, after about 10 years with the Union, he be-came both State and Federal Secretary of the Furnishers Trade Union, before playing a major role in a break-away group of unions known as the ‘27 Rebel Unions’, which fought for workers rights.

After several success-ful campaigns, Ken said it became clear unions could serve an important role in the wider community - not just in the workforce.

“We’d become so effective in these sorts (worker-related) of activities we thought, there were other really important issues that affected people, including environmental ones,” Ken said this week be-fore leaving for Melbourne.

It was a point recognised by communities around Mel-bourne.

“For example, it was de-cided there would be a pipe-line across Port Phillip Bay, taking natural gas,” he said.

“The unions and the communities around the bay saw that as the thin end of the wedge.

“If they let the natural gas one go in, there’ll be an oil pipeline as well, which could be dangerous.

“After being approached by the bayside communi-ties with these concerns, the union said, ‘well, we’re not going to build it’, and that caused quite a struggle.

“Eventually they did build the pipeline, but when it came to the oil pipe, it went around, so while we might have lost the battle, we felt we’d won the war.”

Ken said another battle won by the unions for the good of the people was when the Victorian Housing Com-mission was intent on pull-ing down houses in some of Melbourne’s inner suburbs, including Carlton, Fitzroy

and Brunswick, something Ken describes as a ‘wind-screen survey’.

“They sent a couple of blokes in a car around to all the inner suburbs to look at the areas that should be pulled down and replaced by high-rise housing,” he said.

Many houses were identi-fi ed in Carlton, angering lo-cal residents, who called on the union’s help.

“What would happen is a whole lot of reason-ably good houses would be pulled down, hundreds of people would be put out and then the Commission would build high-rise housing for thousands of people with no accompanying schools and other services. It would have been a catastrophe,” Ken re-membered.

“So the unions said, ‘we’re not going to build them’, and in the end the Housing Com-mission just gave in. It was all about social consciousness.”

These struggles for the common person took place during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Throughout that time Ken was designated ‘coordi-nating secretary’ of the large group of unions, which had considerable power. He was also spokesman for the group and a major driver behind the scenes.

The now 80-year-old lists some of his accomplishments during this era as among the most rewarding of his career.

“I think the Housing Commission stuff, because many of the houses we saved are still there,” he said.

Ken has been approached in more recent times by oc-cupants of some of those houses, who have personally thanked him for saving their homes.

At its height, the group of rebel unions represented tens of thousands of workers across Australia and wielded incredible power.

Ken then took his union power to the international

for social honouredstage in a bid to get a better deal for workers, once again driven by a sense of social justice.

He managed to get the Furnishers Trade Union onto the International Federation of Building and Woodwork-ers Union in the wake of a fl ood of cheap imports which were hurting the livelihoods of Australian workers in the early 1980s.

“Australian workers at the time, especially in manufac-turing, were being hit hard by imports in the early 1980s,” Ken said.

“The Whitlam Govern-ment had capped tariffs and the unions were in all sorts of strife, and it was mainly be-cause of imports from coun-tries where workers were be-ing paid nothing.

“So I thought, well, one of the best ways to overcome this problem was to try to im-prove conditions for workers in those countries where they were being paid nothing.”

Ken was elected president of the Asian arm of the Inter-national Federation of Build-ing and Woodworkers Union and was on the executive of the International Union.

In these roles he spent much of his time in the Phil-ippines and some time in India. It provided an insight into the conditions work-ers had to operate under at the time - conditions Ken

describes as “unimaginable” and “shocking”.

The program was eventu-ally shut down due to politi-cal problems under the Mar-cos regime, which is when Ken returned to his native Mildura in the mid-1980s, and the next chapter in his life.

After several years spent re-settling in the district, Ken was asked to head up the Mildura Trades Hall.

It was a position he ac-cepted, despite the lack of

manufacturing in the dis-trict.

“I’ve always held the view that unions are an important part of the entire communi-ty,” he said.

“So I made the Trades Hall an important part of the community.”

It was in this role that he fi rst met Mallee Family Care executive director Ver-non Knight, who was in the throws of establishing the mega-successful Chances for Children program.

Mr Knight still remem-bers these early years of their relationship clearly.

“As opposed to discussing industrial issues, our conver-sations invariably focussed on measures that would bridge the opportunity gaps for those children and young people in Mildura who were failing to realise their educa-tional potential,” Mr Knight said.

“In Ken I discovered a man with surprising intellect, a thirst for knowledge and a genuine appreciation of lit-erature and learning.

Wide range ofjobs for PoliceSearch and Rescue

From page 10•

A lot of their work is also searching for missing people, and recovery work, sometimes for bodies in the river, stolen cars, proceeds of crime or other dumped items needed as evidence in unsolved cases, or cases pending.

The Police Search and Rescue Squad operates out of a Williamstown base, with equipment that in-cludes two boats, a dive truck, jet skies, snowmo-biles, a snow ‘prowler’ and a wide variety of dive gear, sonar, navigation equip-ment and clothing neces-sary for a wide variety of jobs, in all conditions.

Squad members say a lot of searches could be avoid-ed if people took every pos-sible precaution, equipped themselves better, avoided going off alone, and mak-ing sure family or friends know where they are.

Around 25 percent of the 300 Search and Rescue Squad responses in 2008 involved a search for miss-ing people in Victoria’s bushland, including The Grampians, Pyrenees, Mt Dom Dom, Wyperfeld, Mt Buffalo and Otway Nation-al Park.

Police say the cost of searching for missing peo-ple runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Squad members say that when people get lost, it ba-sically comes down to lack of preparation, experience, equipment and judgement. Injury, vehicle break down, miscalculating the time re-quired to cover the distance and illness account for many of the call outs.

There have also been several incidences of vehi-cle-based GPS devices lead-ing people into dangerous situations. The squad’s ad-vice is for people not to rely on GPS alone, but to seek advice from other sources.

Some of the cases are frustrating. One example,

involving squad members and the Victoria Police Air Wing, involved a search for several campers thought to have gone missing after they hadn’t returned home. Without telling anyone, they had decided to extend their trip by a week!

Other examples where searches could have been avoided include a man who left his house following a family dispute in a small farming community with-out telling anyone. This resulted in concerns for his welfare and the commence-ment of a large-scale police and volunteer search. It was later discovered that the man travelled interstate for a few days to have a break from his family.

A man went on a 4WD trip alone for a week in re-mote desert country, not informing his family where he was heading. He later encountered mechanical problems and became

stranded, with no com-munication devices and a shortage of food.

Two bush walkers train-ing for the Kokoda Track rang police 10 kilometres from their car complaining of fatigue. They wanted po-lice to pick them up!

Four walkers in snow-shoes in a remote alpine region contacted police on the second night of a planned four-day walk complaining they had run out of food.

And then there were the couple of four-wheel drive enthusiasts who entered into their vehicle GPS the shortest distance home, and followed the given direc-tions. This led them onto a snow-covered road that was closed during winter.

The motorists ignored the warning signs, became bogged, and spent two nights in freezing condi-tions until rescued by po-lice.

MILDURA’S 23rd annual Country Music Festival dominated the media during its 10 day tenure, with com-munity members treated to stories about both local and out-of-town talent.

And while the festival’s main attractions got most of the attention, unbeknownst to spectators another group of stars worked diligently be-hind-the-scenes, there to en-sure the event ran smoothly and without incident.

Led by 22-year veteran of the festival Ray Smith, a group of volunteers have been working tirelessly sell-ing merchandise, setting up various staging, lighting and sound equipment across the district (namely Langtree Mall and Henderson Park), all the while acting as unof-fi cial public relation offi cers for the event.

Ray said that it was a big job to undertake every year, and every year he was fi nd-ing he loved it even more.

“It defi nitely keeps me busy,” he said. “And having a great group of guys and girls helping out has made it a lot easier over the years as well, because I guarantee I couldn’t do it by myself.”

Ray has been a volun-teer, and festival coordina-tor, since the festival’s incep-tion in Mildura, there every year to organise a group, all country music lovers, to help run the event.

They do it free of charge, mainly because they love

seeing “good music” played in Mildura’s streets and parks.

“The main thing I love about the festival is the op-portunity to mingle with people who all share a love of country music, and vol-unteering has allowed me to do that,” Ray said.

As if to illustrate his point one of the hundreds of audience members leav-ing that day’s performance tapped him on the shoul-der, looking for information about CD purchases.

SPRING fl owers will be grabbing the limelight at to-morrow’s annual Cardross Show.

And this year a highlight will be a huge rose section along with the irises, cut fl owers and fl oral art.

“Every year the Cardross Hall looks magnifi cent when you walk through the front door,” show stalwart, Mary Chandler, said.

“You are literally con-fronted with a fabulous bouquet of mixed scents, and a kaleidoscope of colour.”

“One of the most high-ly sought after prizes at our show is the Champion Rose of the Show,” Mary said.

“Over the years this cov-eted award has been won by both novices as well as expert rose growers.”

“And this year the com-petition looks like it is go-ing to be keenly fought out once more.”

The numerous fl ower entries for this year’s show have pleased organisers, as has the burgeoning num-ber of entries for the cook-ery section.

“Every year the cookery section is continuing to ex-pand which is very gratify-ing,” Mary said.

This year’s show sched-ule has cookery compe-tition sections for plain cakes, short bread, pikelets, scones, cream puffs, orange cakes, nut loaves, sponges, lamingtons, jelly cakes, slice and bread.

And the juniors have not been forgotten, with several cookery categories set aside expressly for the youngsters.

Meanwhile, the Sunvale Fruit Company has donated prize, as well as the recipe, for this year’s coveted fruit cake section. Every fruit cake entry has to use the same recipe, and for anyone

else who would like to try it, the Mildura Weekly has been fortunate to obtained a copy (see breakout).

This year’s schedule also features competition sec-tions for vegetables, citrus fruits, eggs, photography, and arts and crafts.

The hall will be open for staging of exhibits be-tween 4pm and 7pm today, and again from 7.30am un-til 9.30am sharp tomorrow morning.

The Hall will be closed for judging from 9.30am onwards and is set to re-open about 11.30am.

Meanwhile, the show’s popular outdoor market will open at 10am, with continuous light food avail-able throughout the day, while the show committee will be running cake, plant and trash ‘n’ treasure stalls.

The show schedule is now available at the Cardross Store, all local Mildura Rural City Coun-cil libraries, the Red Cliffs Newsagency and Food-works.

All show enquiries should be directed to Di-anne on mobile 0407 355 298 or 5024 1141; or Mary on 5024 1345 .

THEY’RE called scarecrows for a reason... they are meant to scare the birds away from a farmer’s crop.

But this year’s entries for the annual Cardross Show Scarecrow Competition were more artistic than scary... and so well rendered that the judging panel had to make some diffi cult choices when came to awarding prizes.

But the judges’ verdict is in, and the winners have been announced.

Of section one, the Red Cliffs Club Open Individual, the judges said: “The standard was consis-tently high,” with the winner be-ing entry number one, ‘Louie’, by Alarna Searle. Second was awarded to Maria Riedl’s ‘Elvis’.

Section 2, the Family Section sponsored by M.A. Shugg Pty Ltd, was won by the number eight en-try of Kim, Ian and Nicole Knight dubbed ‘Motorbike Rider’.

The judges described the win-ning entry as “a standout presenta-tion”.

“A lot of work, detail and thought went into this presenta-tion and it was the best of all sec-tions,” they said.

The family section attracted the most entries of any section and choosing the second prize was very diffi cult but in the end it went to

the Scase family, with special men-tions for the Dalla Santa, Tickle and Farrell families.

Hydraulic Solutions and Pneu-matics Section Three for Busi-nesses, Organisations or Clubs was won by the Nexus Club of Red Cliffs with ‘Barbie’ and the runner-up was ‘Man Dancing’ by residents of Jacaranda Village.

The judges said of this section: “Hopefully the standard of this year will encourage other clubs and businesses to consider entering next year because it is an excellent way to lift their profi le as the event is becoming increasingly popular.”

The win for Section Four, spon-sored by Stefano’s 27 Deakin Cafe and Bakery for schools, kindergar-tens and registered child care cen-tres, went to the Mildura Specialist School for its ‘Witch’ closely fol-lowed by Cardross Primary School Preps, Grades 1-2 for their ‘Echid-na’.

“It was pleasing to see the in-creased entries in this section this year,” the judges said, “With the va-riety of subject matter being com-mendable.”

“There was a strong emphasis on the environment in some en-tries and it is obvious the children have been studying this to great ef-fect.”

And the judges reserved a spe-cial mention for the Farrell family’s Paris ‘Pickin’ Hilton.

“Someone certainly had done a lot of homework and detailed research on this very humorous scarecrow,” the judges said.

Paris is depicted in suitably trendy gear, complete with her ev-er-present and beloved dog, and a bottle of champers!

Scary? Not so much, but artistic? You bet!

Proudly Supported by Mildura Weekly

The adrenalin will be pumping both on and off the track at the Mildura Show this year as the

Toyota V6 HiLux Heroes take to the centre ring for their world class stunt show.

Thanks to Sunraysia Auto Group, Toyota Australia has once again teamed up with some of

Australia’s top professional drivers to bring the Toyota V6 HiLux Heroes stunt driving team to

the Mildura Show. The five drivers Jack Monkhouse, Dave Shannon, Mick Guest, John Boston &

Lawrence Ryan are getting revved up to wow the crowd with their precision driving and expertly

choreographed stunts as part of the show’s main arena entertainment program.

The team has already wowed millions of people since their inaugural performance in January

2008, performing at major shows, motorsport events and trade days across Australia with a

variety of octane-driven stunts and formation driving. Highlights of the performance include

a stunt in which the driver balances the virtually standard HiLux on two wheels and another

featuring a 12m ramp-to-ramp jump. Other stunts will include drifting, nose-to-nose driving,

reverse hand break turn flicks and a range of vehicle jumping displays. The performance HiLux

utes will also be on display throughout the show near the main area with show-goers having an

opportunity to meet the drivers in person, as well as receive free autograph posters and racing

bumper stickers.

Driving a slightly modified version of the unbreakable 4x2 V6 Toyota HiLux , the stunt vehicles

have been beefed up in the suspension department, received modified exhaust systems, and 16

inch alloy wheels. On the inside the precision driving vehicle have been tailored with SAAS sport

seats and harnesses, as well as a safety roll cage. Lead driver, Jack Monkhouse, says the vehicles

have impressed the drivers. “The HiLux is a very compliant and easy vehicle to drive - straight

out of the box, they were great fun,” The fact we are still performing in the original five vehicles

we launched the team with in January 2008 demonstrates the quality and unbreakable nature

of the Toyota HiLux workhorse.”

Five minutes later, and after pointing the lady in the right direction, Ray simply stated that chance meetings were also a high-light.

“I’ve made dozens of close friends over the years just like that,” he said refer-ring to the women.

“I might only get to see them once a year, but when we catch up it’s fantastic.”

Ray said that while the majority of volunteers were locals, quite a few were from out-of-town, all too happy to lend their weight to the cause in between shows.

Each day would see the

group follow the same rou-tine, starting at 8am in the Langtree Mall where eight volunteers would set-up the massive stage.

They’d ensure that the sound quality and equip-ment were all in working order, before several mem-bers headed to Henderson Park, assisting another group who were preparing for the day’s events.

During the day three or four volunteers would man the merchandise and information stall while Ray worked the crowd, answer-ing questions and gener-ally “talking-up” upcom-ing acts.

At 4pm, when the day had drawn to a close,

the same group that vol-unteered in the morning (several having gone to work and knocked-off for the day) would return to dismantle the stage, store equipment in a trailer, and pack-up all of the various CDs, DVDs and cassettes.

And while occasion-ally back-breaking work, each task was greeted with laughter and friendly ban-ter, with each person know-ing exactly where every-thing was supposed to go.

“They’ve got it down to an art,” Ray said. “We can basically set-up the mall in under 30 minutes, and that includes unpacking the trailer and doing sound checks.”

He said that there was no better feeling then be-ing a volunteer, helping to run and organise an event he loves.

“It’s something I highly recommend others who enjoy the festival to get in-volved with,” Ray said.

“We have a lot of fun, and most importantly without a dedicated group of volunteers like this the festival wouldn’t be able to go ahead in the great way that it does now.

“Everyone who comes to the festival rightly comes to see the singers, but I also think it’s important that those working behind-the-scenes are recognised as well.”

WELL-EARNED BREAK: Country Music Festival volunteers Ray Smith, Carl Bernaldo, Judy Collingburn and Floris • Van Der Linde take a break from dismantling the Langtree Mall stage after another busy day at the festival.

Candidate informationTHE NSW Electoral Commission will hold an information seminar for candidates consider-ing standing at the upcoming Wentworth Shire Council by-election.

“This is an initiative to ensure candidates standing for local government are fully aware of their obligations and responsibilities under the law’, said the NSW Electoral Commissioner, Colin Barry.

“Anyone thinking of running for councillor is encouraged to attend the seminar to learn first hand about the electoral process, including how to nominate, register how to vote material and declare donations. The public expects high qual-ity, informed candidates to stand for local coun-cil so we are also urging everyone who intends to stand for election to acquaint themselves with the electoral laws.”

The seminar will take place at the Went-worth Memorial Restrooms (incorporating the Visitor Information Centre) 66 Darling Street, Wentworth on Sunday, 18 October from 2pm to 4pm. Pre-registration is not required.

Further information about the seminars and the Wentworth Shire Council by-election is available at www.elections.nsw.gov.au or by call-ing 1300 135 736.

“His work as an advocate evi-denced his native ability to think through complex issues and develop strategic responses to the region’s social and economic challenges.

“I came to know a man who was not only concerned about social jus-tice, but an individual who appreci-ated the importance of the arts, mul-ticulturalism and the need to ensure the best possible access to education for children in our region.”

Mr Knight enlisted Ken’s help in setting up Chances for Children, which has since gone on to raise more than $2million locally and supported more than 700 young people.

“While Ken has continued to play many roles as a volunteer at

Mallee Family Care, he has essen-tially worked as a full-time volun-teer for Chances for the best part of a decade,” Mr Knight said.

“There has rarely been a day in that time when Ken hasn’t attended to his work.

“His contacts with government and senior public servants have been vital and he has authored countless submissions in our endless quest for funds.

“He has equally campaigned and advocated on matters of government policy where children in regional ar-eas were seen to be disadvantaged.

“Those close to him still marvel at the passion and determination of a man who has just celebrated his 80th birthday.”

Since moving back to Mildura in the 1980s, Ken has contributed

to many other aspects of the com-munity, in addition to his work with the Mildura Trades Hall and Chanc-es for Children.

He’s been a board member with the Mildura and Wentworth Arts Festival, the Sunraysia Institute of TAFE, Sunraysia Area Consultative Committee, Mildura Arts Advisory Board, and Northern Mallee Local Learning and Employment Net-work.

Ken has also been an Australian Labor Party member for 54 years and is currently president of the La-bor Party’s Mildura branch.

Despite his achievements, and the fact that he’s now an 80-year-old, Ken says he has no plans to slow down in the near future.

“My plans? I plan to do what I’m doing now!” he said.

WHILE driving, especially where there are bus routes, you should always be on the lookout for bus-es stopping to pick-up, or drop-off, passengers.

It’s the road rule that in built up areas buses displaying a ‘give way to buses’ sign have the right of way, especially when it’s about to pull out from the kerb. Always look for signs that the bus might be pulling out, and be ready to slow down to give way.

Things to always consider in-clude; how many people are get-ting on (or off) the bus, and do you have time to pass, what the distance between your car and

the bus is, whether the bus is in-dicating at all, watching the driv-er in the side mirror for signs he/she are looking to enter the lane, or finally if it is safe, moving into the right lane.

Cheers to our Sporting VolunteersMildura Rural City Council is giving people the chance to say thank you to dedicated individuals who give hours of their own time in order to support local sports and recreation organisations.

Nominations are now open for the 2009 Sport and Recreation Volunteer of the Year Award, an annual honour that recognises it’s volunteers who keep our many sport and recreation clubs, groups, teams and competitions going.

Portfolio Councillor for sport and recreation Sue Nichols said that while other awards paid tribute to the high achievements of sporting participants, this award recognised the people who are often not seen, and work behind the scenes.

“These are the people who freely give their time and skills to their chosen club, and ultimately the community. They are the scorers, presidents, working bee helpers, secretaries, canteen ladies, treasurers, coaches and raffle ticket sellers. People that are often taken for granted but whose efforts ensure hundreds of others can enjoy the pleasures of sport and recreation,” she said.

The winner of the 2009 Sport and Recreation Volunteer of the Year Award will be announced at the annual Mallee Sports Assembly Sports Star of the Year Awards gala dinner in early 2010. They will receive a plaque and $250 prize money.

“I urge residents to think about those people who go above and beyond to support their sporting club or team and nominate them for this award.”

Nomination forms are available on Council’s website www.mildura.vic.gov.au or by contacting Recreation Services on 5018 8316.

Nominations close at 5pm on Friday 18 December.

For further information contact Council’s Community Recreation Officer, Carmel Pethick on 5018 8316.

Happy Birthday School Focused Youth ServiceAn integrated service that has provided support and intervention for more than 40,000 vulnerable local school students will celebrate a significant milestone next week.

Thursday 15 October, 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of School Focused Youth Service, which is implemented by Mildura Rural City Council and funded by the state government to support all local schools.

Portfolio Councillor for Human Services Judi Harris said the program, which began in 1998, worked on the premise that schools are central in developing a young person's capacity for resilience.

“School Focused Youth Service enables Council’s specialist youth staff to work closely with all schools and provide services that are specific to each individual school,” she said.

The integrated nature of School Focused Youth Service targets young people who are at risk of developing behaviours that may make them vulnerable, disengaged from school, family or community, or who are displaying behaviours which require support and intervention.

This program brought substantial benefits to our community with approximately $500,000 worth of programs and services delivered to local schools. This program has also been provided with in kind and financial support from local schools and service providers. The introduction of the Secondary School nurse program and the Student Well-being program in that time has also enhanced support for young people.

“The links that have been made between local schools, community youth service providers and Council’s Youth Services team over the past ten years are significant indeed and have had a positive impact on thousands of local young people,” Cr Harris said.

A showcase of health and wellbeing programs that have been implemented at schools throughout the region and a gathering of youth services providers, school staff and youth workers will mark the tenth anniversary milestone of School Focused Youth Service.

For more information about School Focused Youth Service and other Council-based youth programs call 5018 8280.

Frequently Asked Questions

with Damian Portaro ResCom Finance Consultant

Q. How much is the revised First Home Owners Grant?

A. The revised regional FHOG, consisting of both State & Federal Government Grants are now $12,500 for established homes & $29,500 for new constructed homes. This will remain until 1st January 2010 where the grant will be further reduced.

Q. What is Genuine Savings?

A. Genuine Savings is a requirement that banks are looking for when purchasers are borrowing more than 80% of the value of a property. Essentially they are looking to see 5% of the purchase price in savings over a 3 month period.

Q. Is now a good time to fix my home loan?

A. With the recent interest rate rise & with further interest rate increases predicted over the next 12 - 18 months, it may be an ideal time to consider fixing your home loan. Care should be taken however when fixing your home loan as current fixed rates can be substantially higher than the current variable rate. An option may be to only fix a portion of your home loan.

Immaculately presented & very well cared for this home is ideal for young families, investors & first home buyers.• 3 Bedroom brick veneer (main, ensuite & WIR)• Fully appointed kitchen, tiled dining area• Paved & covered outdoor entertainment area• Beautiful manicured garden & rear yard• 10’ x 20’ Garden shed & located on an elevated 649sqm lotBUYER GUIDE $215,000 to $245,000Michael Richardson 0418 367 227 Tense Venneri 0409 430 183 I-15

FIRST RELEASE


Ray White Achieves Sales History In VictoriaAustralasia’s largest real estate and

property group, Ray White, is setting new

sales benchmarks in Victoria with the

statewide residential sales in September

the greatest monthly result in the group’s

history.

Ray White Victorian General Manager

Marcus Williams said preliminary

statewide sales fi gures in September

topped $400 million, a massive 66 per

cent improvement on September, 2008.

Mr Williams said the spectacular result

had helped Ray White boost its overall

market share in Victoria by 0.5 per cent

“This is the all-time greatest monthly

sales result for Ray White in Victoria and

comes after a record breaking result in

August,” Mr Williams said.

“We had 14 offi ces achieve personal

best monthly sales, so overall it is just a

remarkable result.

Mr Williams said the “incredible” monthly

result was achieved despite distractions

such as the weekend of the AFL grand

fi nal when there was a signifi cant drop in

auction activity.

He said the paring back of the boosted

First Home Owners Grant from

September 30 also presented challenges

to Ray White, which responded with a

Melbourne auction event on the night

before the expanded grant scheme was

scaled back.

Mr Williams said he still expected fi rst

home buyers to remain active for the rest

of the year as the combination of federal

and state grants meant $12,500 was on

offer for existing homes in Victoria and

$25,000 for new homes.

In the regions, total grants of $29,500 are

on offer. All incentives will be further cut

from January 1, 2010.

“First home buyers have been a major

factor in an escalation of property market

activity this year and while the numbers

have fallen back slightly there remains

plenty of incentive for people to enter the

market,” Mr Williams said.

Ray White plans to stage a week-long

series of in-room auctions later this

month. The largest auctions will be held

in Melbourne at the Sofi tel On Collins

on October 27 and the Novotel Glen

Waverley on October 29.

“Our ambition is to sell more than $50

million of residential property under the

hammer in this one week,” he said.

ANOTHER of the few remaining ex-POW’s from the Burma Railway has passed away. Mildura’s Tom O’Neill died on Saturday night in Mildura Private Hospital after a short illness. He was 93.

Tom’s story was told through the eyes of his author son Danny in the Mildura Weekly last year.

His war service was with the 2/2 Pioneer Bat-talion which, after fi ghting in Syria, was returning to Australia when, along with other units, they were off-loaded in Java to try to cut off the Jap-anese advance. Without support they had little hope, and within a very short time the veterans of the Syria campaign – where the battalion had suf-fered many casualties – were prisoners of war.

Six months later most of them were working on the Thai-Burma railway line under appalling conditions. Of the 865 members of Tom’s bat-talion who became prisoners of war, 258 died in captivity – 177 in the railway camps.

After the war, Tom returned to Sunraysia and married Auralie LeBrun. He trained as a house painter, and painted homes built by Bill Shurey for many years throughout the district.

He is survived by children Danny, Elaine (Mitchell), Auralie (Munro), Shane and Jamie, and many grandchildren and great grandchil-dren.

Tom will be laid to rest after a funeral service at Mildura Cemetery at 11am on Monday.

LOCAL soft rock group Off the Han-dle returned home from the Red Desert Live event in Broken Hill feeling a touch “star-struck” after meeting one of Australian music’s leading ladies.

Not only were the four-piece one of the headline acts at the live mu-sic extravaganza, but they were also lucky enough to rub shoulders with Australian pop star Kate Ceberano, whose celebrity status was enough to leave all four members speech-less.

“We’re not normally shy,” gui-tarist Brad Allen said. “But when we walked into her green room where not only Kate, but a host of industry professionals were hanging out, we all went quiet.”

Brad said the songstress, whose career has spanned more than 20 years and includes fi ve platinum al-bums, four gold albums and more than one million albums sold in Australia alone, had simply taken the situation in her stride.

“She’s a lovely and down to Earth women,” Brad said. “She’d just fi n-ished her set, and simply walked up to us, introduced herself, and gave us all a hug.

“It was great getting a chance to mingle with that sort of talent and

experience, and I think it’s some-thing each of us will remember.”

Even more amazing was a ring-ing endorsement from the veteran, who had managed to catch a couple of the band’s original songs.

“She said she’d liked our sound and style, which was a fantastic com-pliment coming from someone as successful as Kate,” Brad said.

More than 300 people braved the cold weather for the two-day event, with Brad saying the gig had come about due to an ad on local radio.

“That’s how we heard about it,” he said. “Organisers were looking for interested bands, so we decided we’d give it a shot and send them a copy of our CD.

“Luckily for us they liked it, and invited us to play. It turned out to be

a great opportunity to take our origi-nal music to another audience, and people seemed keen to have a listen and support all of the bands.”

Off the Handle will now turn its attention toward the next leg of the Global Battle of the Bands com-petition, with unsigned talent from all over the world currently battling it out for a development package worth $100,000.

The group took its fi rst steps in the competition last August, beating three other local acts, including pow-erhouse rockers Jackson Firebird, to win the event, and claim one of two

local spots available at the Regional Final.

Seven bands will make the trip to Mildura for the regional leg of the competition, to be held on No-vember 12, with Off the Handle and Jackson Firebird to fl y the fl ag for Sunraysia.

The winner of that leg will move on to the national fi nal, where they’ll compete for an all expenses paid trip to London to contest the last leg the competition.

Brad said the band would be in heavy rehearsal mode for the next month, with competitors getting

only eight minutes to impress judg-es and audiences.

“It’s going to be tough,” he said. “Not only do we have to wow the judges and stand out from the crowd, but audience response plays a big part as well.

“Luckily we have the home crowd advantage, and we need peo-ple to come to O’Malley’s Irish Tav-ern on the night, and make sure a local band gets through.”

More information is available by contacting O’Malley’s Irish Tavern on 5021 4236, or visit www.omal-leysmildura.com.au.

Story and photos by GRANT MAYNARD

LAST Friday’s welcome rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the youngsters attending Palinyewah School’s celebration of community emergency services.

The day was designed to allow the students to learn more about each of the services repre-sented by participating in a number of fun and educational activities.

Volunteer members from the NSW Rural Ambulance Service’s Pooncarie branch, the Ellerslie brigade of the Rural Fire Service, Went-worth State Emergency Service, and fi re support personnel from Dareton attended.

The school’s usual complement of just 23 students was bolstered by some outsiders... cousins from Victoria on school holidays who, along with the regular students, were grouped by their year, and rotated from one activity to another hosted by the volunteers.

The rain did force one major change of plans – with some activities originally planned for the outdoors having to be moved into a classroom. I say ‘some’ because the fi re hose demonstration was one that still had to go on outdoors!

The students learned fi rst aid basics from the ‘ambos’; how to remember the 000 emer-gency number from fi re support staffers; took part in a mock 000 call where they used a tele-phone link and were asked a series of questions by an ‘emergency service operator’ from the fi re brigade; and the SES taught them the value of a good woollen blanket for keeping people in shock warm. The fact that it was a cold and wet made it one of the most attractive activities as our photographs show.

And despite it being chilly and damp, the fi re hose activity was a fi rm favourite with the students revelling in the opportunity to spray water across the school oval.

The school’s P&C provided morning tea for a gold coin donation. The proceeds being do-nated to Ellerslie fi re brigade,.

School principal, Jennifer Wall, said ev-eryone had really enjoyed the day, parents in-cluded.

“The students certainly learned a lot about what each of the emergency services do, and what to do in case of an emergency. “

THE National Breast Cancer Foun-dation is more than $1million better off thanks to real estate agents like Mildura’s Roccisano Property Group.

And more than 150 ‘Profes-sionals’ business owners, includ-ing Mildura principal and Profes-sionals Victorian chairman, Tony Roccisano, were on hand recently to celebrate the landmark occa-sion at Sydney’s Luna Park that has reinforced the Professionals’ commitment as Diamond Part-ners of the NBCF.

Sue Carrick, Head of Research Strategy at NBCF, received the oversized cheque for more than $1m from Mr Roccisano during an emotional presentation.

Diamond Partners since 2007, Professionals Real Estate un-dertakes to raise a minimum of $250,000 each year for the char-ity.

Mr Roccisano said working with NBCF was one of the most satisfying elements of his career.

“It’s a massive occasion for us”, he said. “ Statistics tell us that if you live a life that is unaffected by breast cancer you are well and truly in the minority.

“We’ll fi nd it (a cure), don’t worry about that. Every year we get closer and we won’t be taking our foot off the pedal until we get there.”

To coincide with the presenta-tion, Professionals conducted an

NBCF charity auction of sporting memorabilia, art, home and life-style products and other miscel-laneous items to raise still more for NBCF.

And the auction was just the tip of the iceberg for the Profession-als who conduct their own group, and individual offi ce, events each year to raise funds including ten pin bowling and gala nights, lo-cal community sales, garage sales and fetes to name a few.

The Pink Ribbon month of October each year culminates fund raising activities for Profes-sionals with all offi ces offering NBCF merchandise across the country.

To make a donation to the

NBCF drop into your local Profes-sionals offi ce today at 83 Deakin Avenue, Mildura. Visit the Pro-fessionals web site at www.rocci-sano.com.au.

Professionals reach fund raising milestone for NBCF

Thanks a million...

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE – REINVENT YOURSELF

Reinvent yourself for next to nothing at the

Mildura Sun Festival Family and Community

Day, to be held on Saturday 11th October at the

SuniTAFE Field Day Site on Benetook Ave.

The Recycled Clothes ‘n’ Stuff Stall, staffed by

volunteers, will be stuffed full of bargains to

be discovered among the pre-loved clothes,

books and homewares.

Donations of goods for the stall have been

coming in from across the community as the

warmer weather encourages people to begin

their long awaited spring cleaning.

The TAFE community is also embracing the

project, with staff and students volunteering

their time to clean and sort donated goods.

Revenue raised by the stall will benefi t the

Mildura Sun Festival in promoting concepts

of sustainability across the Sunraysia commu-

nity. The stall committee is eagerly accepting

donations of the clothes you don’t wear any-

more, the shoes that don’t quite fi t, the hats

that make your head look funny, the handbags

that you only keep out of nostalgia, the books

you haven’t read in years, the retro orange

sheets you inherited from your Nan and the

home wares that haunt your cupboards.

These can be dropped off to the Customer

Service Centre at SuniTAFE or call Jenny

Bennett on 50223707 or Sara Maynard on

50223679 to arrange for them to be picked

up.

By GRANT MAYNARD

NEARLY every year for more than two decades they’ve been taking turns to organise a ride and drive out into the bush.

It’s not a race. It’s not an endurance test. It is, howev-er, a mounted trail ride and horse-drawn vehicle event that has raised thousands of dol-lars in much-needed funds for a wide variety of charities and not-for-profi t organisations including the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Angel Flights, the Royal Flying Doctor Service and local hospitals and nurs-ing homes.

The ‘Ten Day Horse Trail Ride’, an Australian Trail Horse Riders Association affi l-iated event, can trace its roots all the way back to 1986, and every year since – excluding 1987 and 2008 when equine infl uenza stopped the move-ment of horses around the na-tion – there has been a 10-day ride in either Victoria, New South Wales, or South Austra-lia.

The ride traditionally at-tracts between 80 and 150 horses; there is also often an assortment of horse-drawn vehicles, and more than 200 people.

While some of the rides in the past have taken their name from the area in which they were staged – the ‘Dar-ling/Anabranch Stockman’s Ride’ in 1990 for example, or 1997’s ‘Middleback Ranges Trail Ride’ in South Australia – there are others that make interesting reading.

In 2003, the Victorians organised the ‘It’s all about Tubby’ ride, to be followed in 2004 by the South Australian’s ‘Steam ‘n’ Saddles’ ride.

This year it was the turn of the South Aussies again, and they plumped for the safe and sensible ‘Central Mallee Trail Ride’, but for next year it’s the turn of the Sunraysia contin-gent to do the organising, and they’ve dubbed their latest ride ‘This Far on the Map 2010’.

Organising committee member Donna Turvey ex-plained the name referred to the distance on the map be-tween the group’s intended starting point, on Burtundy Station, and the fi nish line – the Darling River, on Tapio Station, just 35 kilometres away.

It doesn’t look that far, “but we won’t be riding as the crow fl ies”, Donna explained. A little creative thinking has seen the ride blow out to 200 kilometres, with the itinerary including several loop rides that will take in the varied rid-ing environments of Burtundy, Cavan and Tapio Stations.

There will be just three shifts of camp during the ten-day event but, as is tradition-al, every rider and their horse must be self-suffi cient. That self-suffi ciency clause includes food and drinking water for the rider and their back-up team members, fuel for the back-up vehicle and camping equipment including a show-

Going bush for a good cause...

“Most of the broad planning has been done, and we are expecting keen riders to begin signing up immediately.” – Donna Turvey.

What’s onFrom Page 2•

Stefano’s new showTHE fi rst episode of lo-cal cook Stefano de Pieri’s new television series, ‘Ste-fano’s Cooking Paradiso’, will debut tomorrow night from 7.30pm on the Pay TV’s Lifestyle Channel.

Choral musicTHE Dominic Chorale will host an afternoon of choral music and solos at 3.30pm this Sunday at the CWA Hall in Merbein. An afternoon tea will follow, with all interested people welcome.

Miss Spring CarnivalTHE search is on for the Doms Miss Spring Car-nival 09. Every Friday for a month leading up to Melbourne Cup, Doms nightclub will showcase Mildura’s fi nest ladies in the search for Miss Spring Carnival 09. The concept follows the outstand-ing success of last year’s competition which at-tracted more than 50 en-trants. Doms, Carla Jane, Visions, Surf Crew, City Limits and Fifi & Annie have come together to put up $1000 in cash and a $1000 shopping spree as part of the competition. Doms Search For Miss Spring Carnival 09 heats are on October 9, 16 and 23, concluding on Friday October 30. People inter-ested in entering can call 0417 116 488.

Art on showA NEW exhibition enti-tled ‘Credo: Beyond Be-lief’ will be showcased by local artist Luci Callipari-Marcuzzoat for the next few weeks at Stefano’s Gallery 25. Infl uenced by her family’s migration to Australia, the exhibition has a strong emphasis on faith, whilst high-lighting the many facets of a woman’s life. The exhibition is dedicated to Luci’s father (Anto-nio Pietro Callipari), and will remain on show until Thursday, October 29.

Tractor pullTHE Tractor Restoration & Appreciation Club of Sunraysia (TRACS) will host its milestone 10th Vintage Tractor Pull and Lanz ‘Bulldog’ challenge tomorrow.

The venue will once again be the now tradi-tional TRACS proving ground on Wilga Road, south of Red Cliffs.

“Just follow the signs from ‘Big Lizzie’,” is the advice from club members for spectators.

Action is planned to get under way from 10am, and the entry fee is just $5 for adults with children admitted free.

The Red Cliffs Lions Club will cater for the day with food and drinks available

er and toilet, and feed for the horse.

A tanker truck has been or-ganised to supply stock water needs.

The 2010 ride is scheduled to begin on Sunday, April 25 (Anzac Day) and run through to Tuesday, May 4. The thor-ough itinerary includes a daily ride, of between 20 and 30 kilo-metres, except starting Sunday, set aside for the initial muster, and Thursday, the 29th, when a gymkhana has been sched-uled.

“We’re right in the middle of the fi ne-tuning now,” Donna said. “Most of the broad plan-ning has been done, and we are expecting keen riders to begin signing up immediately,” she said.

The planned 2010 event will be far from ‘just a trail ride’. The organising team, that also includes John and Judy Wass, Bill and Janine Barnfi eld, Lesley Allen, Louise Rowe and Karen Timmis has a few surprises up their collec-tive sleeve.

Take for instance the ‘Black Tie and Gumboots Dinner Dance’ on the fi rst night out and to be staged in the Burtun-dy shearing shed. “Ladies frock up... and the gents too if that is your thing,” the promotional material reads.

That, the committee says, should be good for quite a few laughs, especially since the same material asks the men the suit up... and makes the same offer for any girls who want to

do the same.Then there is the ‘fi ne’ sys-

tem, making what might be viewed by some as a ‘not-so-welcome’ return for 2010.

But, the committee argues, it is a ‘fi ne way’ to raise some money for charity.

Participants can be fi ned for misbehaviour, for losing stuff or even doing the right thing!

Bring a pocket full of loose change, Donna advises intend-ing participants.

Other activities planned during the 10-day ride include an outdoor movie night under the stars; a chance to wear pink for a day to aid the McGrath Foundation; a number of raffl es and a gymkhana, with both horse and human events.

The horse events include a barrel race, fetch a pail of water, hold your mates horse and grab a prize; while the hu-man events include a tug-o-war, fi ve-legged race for three, a bean bag race, blindfold obstacle race and a gumboot throw.

Donna said a big thank you must go to the Barnfi eld, Davies and Byrnes families for allowing the ride to be staged on their respective properties.

“We have been able to or-ganise this ride with a little imagination, agreeable land-owners and an industrious committee,” she said.

For more information contact organising committee member Karen Timmis 0429 121 314.

BEST OF FRIENDS: • Irymple’s Judy

Wass and her horse “Nugget’ will be keen participants next year. Judy is a ride regular, having participated

in 18 rides during the past 19 years. It would have been 19 from 19 “if we hadn’t had the trouble with Equine Infl uenza,” she says.


MILDURA’S WHK Junior Heat representative basketballers have started their 2009/2010 season in dominant fashion, with all seven teams making their respective Di-vision One Grand Finals in Hor-sham last weekend.

The impressive display was an “indication of things to come” ac-cording to coaches, who believe this season could be Mildura’s year to shine.

Out of the seven teams to reach their Grand Finals four came away with the gold, includ-ing all three girls teams (Under 12s, 14s and 16s), and the Under 12s boys team.

The Under 12 girls, coached by Sue Bryans, got the ball roll-ing, beating Ararat, Portland and Horsham’s second side by an av-erage of 40 points in the opening rounds.

Horsham One were the only team to offer resistance against the Mildura brigade, but even that late challenge to their undefeated streak did little to deter the young-sters, with the team eventually ac-counting for Portland in the fi nal 46 to 12.

Dale Clark regained most of his Under 12 Basketball Victoria Country Council State Cham-pionship side from two seasons ago, stepping up to the Under 14 girls coaching ranks.

His side also went through the tournament undefeated, with their fi nal win over Ararat (40 to 12) a fantastic start to what’s be-ing tipped as another successful year.

Under 16s girls coach Alan Morris will be looking for back-to-back BVCC titles, despite the bulk of his side classed as bottom age. Only two players from last year’s championship team remain, and are both going to be vital in help-

ing their younger team mates de-velop.

Regardless of youth the girls still proved a force, with their fi rst game against Portland, a one point victory, the only game to push them.

Mildura proved relentless after the early stumble, making up for the near loss with a 33 to 20 win against Portland in the fi nal.

Of the four boy’s representa-tive teams to make the trip only one tasted success, with newcom-er coach Grant Brown taking the Under 12 boys to their fi rst win of the year against Portland (39 to 22).

Led by coach Ian Sandiman the Under 14 boys looked the goods in the opening rounds, defeating Horsham, Ararat and Hamilton

comfortably. They again faced Horsham in

the Grand Final, with the home team out for redemption after their earlier defeat to Mildura by two points.

Horsham turned the tables in the fi nal, winning by 11 points to deny Mildura a tournament win.

Like their Under 14 coun-terparts the Under 16 boys were similarly favourites prior to their Grand Final, recording wins against Horsham, Warrnambool and Portland.

And while a mass of talent-ed locals were quick to shine, it wasn’t enough to account for a determined Ararat side, who beat Mildura in a tight Grand Final 29 to 24.

The Under 18 boys side strug-

gled for consistency through-out the tournament, winning two from fi ve games played.

They were defeated by 20 points in their Grand Final, and will be looking to make amends at the next event in Swan Hill where all Division One through to Three teams will contest their next tourna-ment on October 24 and 25.

REPRESENTATIVES from six separate Indigenous communities will be hit-ting out for top honours in Twenty20 cricket when the inaugural Murray River Challenge Cup takes place under lights in Swan Hill this Sunday.

Teams from Mildura, Robinvale, Swan Hill, Kerang, Echuca and Shep-parton will be made up of local Indigenous communi-ty members, Victoria Police and local cricketers, with the round robin competi-tion getting underway at Swan Hill Recreation Oval from 9am. The fi nals will start at 7pm.

Players and community member will also get the chance to meet former Aus-tralian cricketer, and Murray River Challenge Cup Am-bassador, Jason Gillespie, with the fast bowler to pres-ent the winning trophy and Jason Gillespie Medal to the best player in the fi nal.

Swan Hill Rural City Council’s Aboriginal Affairs Manager and Murray River Challenge Cup Committee Chair Rob Connelly said the competition aimed to pro-mote stronger partnerships between local Indigenous communities and other ar-eas of the community.

“Sport, in this case Twenty20 cricket, is an ef-fective way to break down barriers and for members across the community to interact, therefore develop-ing and building relation-ships,” Mr Connelly said.

“The original concept of this competition came from an idea from Sunraysia In-stitute of TAFE’s Alan Walsh, which has progressed into the Murray River Challenge Cup. It will be a great fam-ily day out for everyone across the region – all are welcome.”

Swan Hill police Inspec-tor Garry Bennett said the day would encourage stron-ger ties between police and the Indigenous community,

while highlighting the re-gion’s top sporting talent.

“This competition not only aims to promote great-er harmony between Ab-original people and police, it is a great opportunity to showcase young Aboriginal cricketing talent in our re-gion,” he said.

“I’m pleased that this inaugural event will kick off in Swan Hill. The bigger picture is that if this event continues through our oth-er fi ve communities, it has the potential to eventually become a state-wide recog-nised event.”

Sunraysia Institute of

TAFE’s Koorie Liaison Offi -cer Alan Walsh also praised the event and its potential.

“It will be great to see ambassadors from our re-gion representing their communities in this com-petition and it can only enhance and encourage the younger generation into

team sport, in this case cricket,” Mr Walsh said.

Swan Hill Rural City Council Mayor Cr Greg Cruickshank encouraged the community to get be-hind the event.

“It is fantastic that Swan Hill will be hosting the very fi rst Murray River Challenge Cup, this is a huge event for Swan Hill and a great op-portunity for our region as a whole,” he said.

“It would be great to see our community out there on October 11 throwing their support behind our local team and this event.”

State selectors for the Victorian Imparja Cup side (which is played every year in Alice Springs) will also be in attendance, giving lo-cal talent the opportunity to progress through the Vic-torian Indigenous pathway system and the potential to represent Victoria at a na-tional level.

A range of other activi-ties are planned, with the challenge cup to form part of the overall day celebrat-ing Indigenous culture and promoting community har-mony.

Activities will include the 2009 Harmony 8 Chal-lenge (which will see Indig-enous and non-Indigenous children between nine and 12 years playing a Kanga 8 modifi ed cricket match), long throw and fastest throw competitions, big hit competition, games and activities, Koorie art, music and the jumping castle.

The Murray River Chal-lenge Cup is a joint project between Cricket Victoria, Victoria Police, Indigenous Communities throughout the region, Swan Hill Ab-original Health Service, Sunraysia Institute of TAFE, Department of Justice and Swan Hill Rural City Coun-cil.

Koori teams all set for big 20/20 Challenge

NEXT Wednesday, Octo-ber 14, will see Mildura’s hockey players switch into twilight mode, with Summer Twilight Hockey to be offi cially launched.

The competition is aimed at mixing both experienced and begin-ner players together, with a strong emphasis on bringing new faces to the sport.

Groups of players are free to form their own teams, or for single play-ers they can nominate and then be allocated to a team.

Each team should have seven or more players, with at least three female team mates in the line-up. Gear will be available for fi rst-timers, with the cost $5 per game.

The competition will

be played on a weekly basis, with those inter-ested asked to email their name, the team/s they played with in the 2009 Sunraysia Hockey Asso-ciation season, whether or not they have already formed a team, and if so the team name, the name of its members, and their individual email address-es.

The fi rst round will kick-off from 7pm at the Sunraysia Hockey As-sociation Field (Hockey House) behind the Aero Ovals (baseball entrance off 11th Street, soccer en-trance off Flora Avenue).

More information, or to register, is available by contacting Gary Cal-decott on 5022 0255, or by emailing [email protected].

Twilight hockey comp. to kick-off next week

THE North West Victorian Motor-cycle Club will hold a practice night for dirt track and mo-tocross riders tonight at its Jamberoo Park circuit.

The night will run from 4.30pm to 9pm.

It will be fol-lowed by the fi rst ever GBM Con-sulting two-day motocross cup, which will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oc-tober 24 and 25.

The Bathurst 1000 has been an institution in Australian motorsport for more than 40 years. Both Todd and

DESPITE racing as part of the newest team in the V8 Supercar Championship, former Sunraysia driv-ers Todd and Rick Kelly say they’re confi dent of a good result at the sport’s headlining event, the Su-percheap Auto Bathurst 1000 this weekend.

Both Todd and Rick have stood on the top step of the podium at Bathurst during their V8 Supercar careers, so know what it takes to win the mam-moth event.

They say their recent pace at the L&H 500 at Phillip Island is an added confi dence booster going into this weekend.

“The pace we had at Phillip Island was really second-to-none,” Rick said.

“The weather condi-tions and everything suit-ed us right down to the ground.

“We had a couple of little hiccups that took us out of contention for the race win and since then we’ve done everything we can to make sure those hiccups don’t happen here.

“The guys have done a really great job at pre-paring our Jack Daniel’s Commodore and all the guys at Kelly Racing really have the right mindset.”

The Kelly brothers, along with team-mates Nathan Pretty and Ben Collins took part in the traditional road trip to Bathurst this week, com-pleting the journey this year in a custom 1953 Chev.

Both drivers will have their work cut out for them this weekend, as this year’s event is being touted as one of the most competi-tive in recent years with more driver combinations capable of taking out the race compared to previous years.

One of the big talking points in the week leading up to the event is whether Team Vodafone can win a record four consecutive Bathurst 1000s.

Continued next page.•

Kelly duo primed for

If Todd and Rick Kelly win this week-end’s Bathurst 1000 they’ll be the fi rst brothers to win the event in a V8 Supercar.

But they won’t be the only broth-ers to have won on ‘the mountain’. Geoff and David Brabham won the Super Touring version of the Bathurst 1000 in 1997 in a BMW320i.

And while they are yet to win the event as team-mates, Rick and Todd both have Bathurst 1000 crowns to their names - three between them.

Rick and Todd are among only three pairings in this weekend’s event to feature both drivers as for-mer Bathurst winners.

The others are Mark Skaife and Greg Murphy, and Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup.

Rick still holds the record as the youngest driver ever to win the

Bathurst 1000, a feat he achieved in 2003, racing with Greg Murphy. He also holds the record as the youngest driver to win a round of the Austra-lian Touring Car/V8 Supercar cham-pionship.

Meanwhile, this weekend, Rick and Todd’s race car will feature the fi rst Wingcam camera, (LEFT), in V8 Supercar history.

It’s one of more than 100 cam-eras which will be used on-track, in concrete kerbing, in the air and in the pits over the course of the week-end.

Kelly Racing has produced a carbon fi bre rear wing specifi cally for the new camera, which will give forward-facing views down the right-hand side of the brothers’ car during the race. It’s one of six cameras which will be fi tted on their car.

Rick Kelly have won the event in the past, but never as team-mates. This weekend could change all that.

Bathurst 1000 win

From previous page. •

Another new factor this year is the increase in the number of pit stops drivers will make due to the shift to CSR E85 etha-nol fuel, which the cars burn quicker.

This means there could be as many as eight pit stops per car just for fuel during this weekend’s race.

In terms of the track itself, there has been some major work on the notorious ‘Esses’, just after the cars crest Skyline, all in the interests of safety.

For almost 20 years there has been a deep gravel trap inside the Esses, designed to catch the cars if they go in too hot.

This year, the gravel section has been replaced with pav-ing, which has been given the thumbs up by Rick Kelly, who

inspected the track earlier this week.

“It is going to be a big ben-efi t as it will reduce the amount of debris that comes on to the track from the sand trap that has been there in the past,” Rick said.

“There is still a strip of grass there behind the kerb to stop cars going too far over the back of the kerb and gaining an ad-vantage.

“That small grass strip will still bring a bit of dust and de-bris on to the track, but all in all I think it is a big step in the right direction and a smart move.”

Qualifying for the big race takes place today from 2.10pm, followed by the Top 10 Shoo-tout tomorrow, starting from 3.45pm.

Sunday’s big race starts at 10.30am. Teams will complete 161 laps.

THE car Rick and Todd Kelly drove from their Melbourne headquarters to Bathurst this week was a 1953 V8-powered Chev that the brothers worked upon themselves here in Mildura.

“We’ve had this ‘53 Chev for a while so we thought we would pull it out, fi nish it off and give it a drive,” Rick said.

It follows a tradition for the brothers of driv-ing out-of-the-ordinary vehicles on the annual pilgrimage to Bathurst, along with thousands of other motor racing en-thusiasts.

“Todd, Nathan (Pret-ty) and I all used to drive to Bathurst together in an old motorhome and we used to call it the ‘happy camper’,” Rick said.

“Ever since then we have formed a tradition of driving to Bathurst each year.

“After the motorhome we did up a combi van, we drove up in a Hum-mer once, we bought an old Kingswood and towed a caravan one year and now it’s snowballed into something that’s a lot of fun.”

The Kelly brothers made the trip with team-mates Nathan Pretty and Ben Collins, who will drive the second Jack Daniel’s car this week-end.

Despite hailing from England, many Austra-lian motor racing fans would already have seen Collins’ driving prow-ess, though they might not have known it at the time.

Collins was a stunt double for actor Daniel Craig behind the wheel of James Bond’s Aston Martin in the Bond fi lm Quantum of Solace.

This will be his fi rst Bathurst 1000.

MILDURA wakeboarding star Bec Gange will return home from the South Korean World Wakeboarding Championships with gold around her neck, helping her Australian team mates reach champion status for the third consecutive year.

The 19-year-old said she was ecstatic with her team’s perfor-mance, saying the win had been an experience to remember.

“It’s the first time I’ve been on a wakeboarding team, and it was a lot of fun hanging out with my fellow Australians, cheering one another on,” Bec said.

Held on Lake Uiam in the province of Gangwon, the titles were a first for the youngster, who said she’d enjoyed the chance to take on the world’s best.

“It was great meeting a whole group of people in the wakeboarding industry, and see-ing some fierce competition up close,” she said.

“Local competitions are nothing compared to the stan-dard I saw at the Worlds, where some people were landing un-believable moves. It was a real eye-opener, and an experience I’m going to take a lot away from.”

As a newcomer to the ‘team’ environment of wakeboarding, Bec said she’d felt a lot of pres-sure to perform, with not only her medal hopes, but that of her team’s, on the line.

“I felt like I had a lot more pressure on my riding because the team was relying on me to do well,” she said. “Thankfully we came away with the win, and I was able to contribute to that.”

And while the support from fellow team mates was helpful, there was one familiar face in the crowd (mum Maggie) doing her best to ensure her daughter came out on top.

“There’s nothing better then having a family member there to celebrate the good rides, and help you get over the bad ones,” Bec said.

In addition to the team win Bec also finished sixth in the Open Women’s singles compe-tition, a fair effort for a teenager at only her first World titles.

She said that while she’d been initially disappointed not to medal in the singles competi-tion, she’d quickly realised the finish was still an incredible achievement.

“Sixth is pretty good for my first Open Women’s competi-tion,” she said. “I originally said I wanted to make finals,

and looking back I definitely acheived what I set out to do.

“I had the best competition of my life in the heats, and came out second in the semi-final. Unfortunately my final run let me down, and all I can do is focus on the positives for next time.”

Choppy weather conditions made life difficult for all com-petitors, with Bec saying she struggled to adapt.

“The weather wasn’t in anyone’s favour,” she said. “At the end it came down to who

was standing up and who was falling off their boards, and un-fortunately I didn’t handle the choppy water as well as I should have.”

Originally slated to compete in the junior division, a mistake on behalf of event organisers saw Bec receive the late call-up.

And while most 19-year-olds would have succumbed to the pressure of taking on competi-tors vastly more experienced, Bec said that if anything she felt a lessening of expectation.

“I don’t think the move threw me off one bit,” she said. “If anything it took the pressure off because I was no longer a top seed in my division.”

And while nothing com-pared to winning world gold, experiencing the cultural differ-ences between Australia and Ko-rea had definitely come close.

“The whole experience was incredible,” Bec said. “To get to a place after a 17 hour flight where no-one speaks English, and where people live so differ-ently was crazy.”

The championships marked the end of a six month overseas trip for the youngster, which saw her attend wakeboarding camps and competitions in America in an effort to attract new sponsors and improve her skill set.

She said she’d succeeded in landing one new sponsor, Aus-

tralian Air Nautiques, and had even debuted a number of tricks at the championships.

“I’m also featured in a few mini-videos on some wake-boarding websites, so my name is out there now, and hopefully something happens as a result,” she said.

Bec said that she was look-ing forward to some quiet time once she returned home later next month, before setting her sights on her next major event in Renmark.

“I plan on hanging out in Mildura for a while, and pos-sibly organising some coach-ing clinics for anyone interested while I’m home,” she said.

“Things will be pretty quiet until the Australian Pro tour starts again next year, so I plan on spending a lot of time on the water, preparing for another busy year.

“I also want to head back to America and compete in the American Pro tour in 2010, so I won’t have a lot of time to re-lax.”

Bec said that she’d learnt a lot from the experience, and would take a lot of positives out of her trip.

“I’ve learnt a lot this year in regards to my riding,” she said. “And I’m looking forward to putting everything into practice back home.”

MURRAY House and Wentworth Guides were both winners at the Wentworth Rota-ry Club’s Charity Golf Day, with the event held at the Wentworth Golf Club last Sun-day.

Sixty-seven players from Mildura, Coomealla and Wentworth contested the event, a significant improvement on last year’s 28 participants, with each team nominating a local charity as their benefi-ciaries.

Scores were tight at the halfway mark of the competition, with only one stroke separating the first and second placed teams.

Ben and Brent Love, Lucas Brown and Phil Lawn came away eventual winners, with their charity Wentworth Guides re-ceiving $500 as a result, which will go to-ward renovations of the group’s kitchen.

Second placed team Peter Bicker, Doug Rowsell, Wayne Whelan and Matt Lynch played for Wentworth SES, with third placed team Greg Love, Phil Matotek, W. Carmichael and A. Rix representing the Wentworth Scouts.

A number of goods were also auc-tioned off at the event, with local MP John Williams guest auctioneer, with all funds raised to be donated to Murray House.
