Wonderful Weekend in Dunolly

Well, what a wonderful weekend we had in Dunolly on the Queen’s Birthday! The town was packed with people for the Gilbert & Sullivan Festival and other events on offer. As well as performances of Trail by Jury and Iolanthe by the Dunolly Gilbert & Sullivan Society, the Savoy Opera Company held Tales of Hoffman, the Lions Club had the Biggest Morning Tea and the Community Market did a roaring trade. Bishop Andrew Curnow officiated at the service at St John’s Church where the Fincham organ was beautifully played by Alex Scutt, and Louise Staley MP joined in the singing of Sullivan’s church hymns. The various shops and eateries were filled with customers. Throughout this issue we have a plethora of photos to mark the event. Enjoy! Susan Anderson

ROSIE’S RAMBLE

Not a lot to ramble about this week. I am waiting for my little chest freezer to expire so I can get one with shelves. I am sick of foraging for food at the bottom—whatever I want is always on the bottom and hiding under other stuff. Noticed some floating cobwebs shining in the sun the other morning. Mother Nature dispersing her children. Now that the Burnt Creek cemetery has been restored (congrats to those involved) - maybe there might be a search party organised to uncover the really old one in Pain Killer Gully Road. In 1986, the all wheel drive Toyota Tercel was the latest motor car; chocolate mousse made with evaporated milk was THE dessert; and, according to the ad, the whole street came to gawp at the Honda ride-on mower. How do I know this? I picked up some magazines at the op shop and one of them is a 1986 Better Homes. Some differences from modern magazines are three full pages of cigarette ads, pool fences were absent, and for those who remember, Prue Acton was endorsing Actil bed linen. The gardening section is pretty much as it is now, and there are instructions on building gazebos and creating a quiet corner for relaxing in, plus barbequing on a budget, and new gear for the handyman. For $6.95 you could buy the complete book of the America’s Cup Defence just about everywhere. Remember, this was the year before we won it. It is interesting how little the contents have changed in thirty years; even the ads are strangely familiar. Hemp grower in Queensland on getting a “high” from his product—”You would need a cigarette as big as a telegraph pole, smoke it in 10 seconds, but you would die from asphyxia from the smoke before there was any effect from the hemp.”

Ageism - Just think, if only you could snap your fingers on the birthday you wanted and never grow any older ! HUH ! Birthdays won’t even let you do that because you’ve got that much arthritis your fingers won’t snap.

14 June 2017 THE WELCOME RECORD Volume 32 Issue 22

The Central Goldfields Shire Council satisfaction survey has shown a distinct drop in community satisfaction. One of the contributing factors I have noticed lately is that when major infrastructure works have to be carried out, such as those involving road closures etc. over a number of days, there is very little communication between the Shire and the residents affected. If you are

lucky, you’ll find a note in the letterbox or a note stuck on the fence. I cannot see why, when Shire staff have drawn up plans for major works, they can’t communicate with the residents concerned, so that everybody understands what is going to happen. A thing called communication - a wonderful tool.

On another point, it is great to see so many visitors to our district. Dunolly hasn’t been so busy for a long time. The Gilbert and Sullivan weekend also brought many people into the district. Thank you to Rachel Buckley and her team for their work.

NOTES FROM NOTES FROM OUR COUNCILLOR OUR COUNCILLOR

Victorian Rural Women’s Network Dear Editor, In just a few weeks, an important service will return for rural women. I’m proud that the Labor Government has decided to re-establish the Victorian Rural Women’s Network from the 1

st of July.

The Network began in 1986 to support women living in rural and often isolated areas, raising their profile and allowing them to connect and share information. But it was inexplicably disbanded by the former Coalition Government in 2013. Over the past two and a half years, women from all over the state have asked me to re-establish the Network. Our Government will provide $1.7 million to support the initiative which will allow the Network to promote women’s economic participation, professional development, and wellbeing. The Network will provide a one stop shop for information for rural and regional women with events, ideas, an e-newsletter and social media platforms, leadership opportunities and inspiring stories. It speaks volumes that the former Coalition Government cut this vital service. The re-establishment of the much-loved Rural Women’s Network shows that voices from outside Melbourne truly matter and there is a Government that is listening. Women from every corner of our state have told me how important this is. We listened and we will deliver.

Jaala Pulford MP Labor Member for Western Victoria

Homemade mouse baits are bad for everyone

When mouse baits are manufactured illegally, people put themselves, livestock, pets and wildlife at risk. In contrast, by using a registered chemical and following the label, people can be assured they are minimising any risks. Agriculture Victoria Leading Chemical Standards Officer, Alex Perera, said that there are reports of mice numbers increasing in the state’s north-west, resulting in heavy demand for all types of mouse bait. “The temptation to make your own bait can be great, but this is risky and dangerous for you, and the environment. It can lead to the accidental poisoning of pets, working dogs and native animals,” Ms Perera said. “Products that are registered for mouse control have been through a rigorous assessment by scientists at the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and are formulated to limit the impact on non-target animals,” she said. “The product labels will often contain specific directions on how to prevent off-target poisonings. There are also significant penalties associated with the illegal use of agricultural chemicals.” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Wildlife Officer Glenn Smith said some reports of native bird deaths from suspected homemade mouse bait were already being received. “It is an offence under the Wildlife Act to destroy or interfere with protected wildlife which includes our native bird species. Severe penalties apply,” Mr Smith said. “We’re working closely with Agriculture Victoria on this issue, but at the end of the day, people need to do the right thing.”. Call 136 186 to speak to an Agriculture Victoria Chemical Standards Officer or a DELWP Wildlife Officer.

Grants to help business cut energy costs

Labor Member for Western Victoria, Jaala Pulford, is encouraging local businesses to save money on their energy bills by utilising the Boosting Business Productivity Energy Assessment Grants Program. Ms Pulford said small businesses spending more than $20,000 a year on energy could apply for a basic energy assessment up to $2,000 and a detailed energy assessment up to $6,000. A $3,000 implementation bonus is also available to both grant types to carry out one or more of the recommendations from their assessment. These might include fitting variable speed drives to fan drives on existing variable air volume heating, ventilating, or air conditioning systems. Another option may be to install fast-rolling doors or clear plastic strips to prevent heat gain or loss on warehouse doors. Ms Pulford said an energy assessment can be extremely beneficial to small and medium sized businesses. “These assessments are undertaken by experts and provide tailored advice on how businesses can cut energy costs and improve productivity,” Ms Pulford said. A further $630,000 was allocated to the Boosting Business Productivity grants program in the recent Budget. Small and medium sized manufacturers can now apply for a Materials Efficiency Grant of up $13,000 to improve materials efficiency, reducing waste sent to landfill. Grant applications are now open. For more information visit www.sustainability.vic.gov.au, or call 1300 363 744 to speak to an adviser.

VICKY’S VIEW

I COULD Win Raffles offer the potential to gain a very profitable outcome for just a few dollars. We buy tickets in the hope of winning something of value. We buy tickets to support the local community, and we buy tickets to feel good about ourselves. Sometimes we are shamed into buying tickets for a worthy cause, but that is the worst way to get a raffle ticket. Any way we get them, sometime later while trawling through the bottom of a handbag for a tissue or scrounging through the console of the car for a coin to feed the meter, we invariably find raffle tickets. Sometimes they have draw dates on them to let everyone know they are out-of-date. Sometimes we just have a very strong hunch from the yellowing paper and curling corners that they were drawn quite a while ago and we were not the winner. Indeed when we buy tickets we seldom really expect to win. We might joke with the seller about what we will do with the prize, but then we forget all about it. Raffle ticket sellers are a hardy bunch, sitting wrapped in winter woollies behind a card table set with a thermos or take away coffee. The late Claire Parker of Moliagul was a champion raffle ticket seller. She would set up her table next to Dunolly IGA for hours. Often she had three or four different causes she would be selling tickets for. Joan Williams, who also passed away several years ago, sold tickets for the Dunolly Football and Netball Club weekly seafood platter all winter. Goodness knows how much she raised for the club. Selling raffle tickets can be a

really good way to meet new people as well as catch up with old friends. But it is long cold hours for not a huge return. During last Sunday's market I bought raffle tickets from several people and thought nothing more about it. Checking my answering machine later I was delighted to find I had won a prize in the Dunolly Lions Club Morning Tea for Cancer raffle. It is years since I have won a raffle, so it quite made my day. Thank you Lions Club!

Around school this week: Congratulations to Mia Skilling and Ella Patten on their exceptional performance at the Regional Cross Country on Tuesday. Both girls tried their very best with Mia coming 45th and Ella coming 15th. Ella and Mia were in the top 10 heading towards the finish line but the hilly terrain got the better of them, and they were exhausted. The Glasses for Kids program is in full swing with the P/1/2/3 being assessed over Wednesday and today, and Years 4/5/6 will be done on Monday 26th June. The seniors thoroughly enjoyed their trip to the Central Deborah Goldmine in Bendigo on Wednesday to follow up their learning about the Gold Rush. The students kitted up in a hard hat and miner's lamp, descended 61 metres underground to Level 2 of the mine with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. With only the light on their helmet to light the path, students were enthralled by Bendigo's fascinating underworld as they explored the honeycomb of hidden underground tunnels. Our Reconciliation Day was a great success with students enjoying the activities to help towards ‘Let's take the next steps.’ Students listened to Dreamtime stories, painted, cooked and learned about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.

Dunolly pre-school host ladies’ night to end enrolment drop

The Dunolly Pre-school parent committee is set to host its annual ladies’ night this Friday, 16th June in an effort to promote the pre-school, which has seen its enrolment numbers drop. Held at the Dunolly Bowling Club in Barkly Street, the ladies’ night will include a talk from local author Stacey McCoy and will be hosted by local real estate agent Kate Ashton. “We have nine students enrolled at the pre-school this year. We need people around the community to get involved and help fundraise with us. It’s incredibly hard to fundraise with just nine families,“ committee secretary Elizabeth Raczynski said. “If we can’t fundraise, it means that we are unable to purchase new equipment and upgrade the facilities. The playgroup is well overdue for an upgrade and we would love to be able to purchase a trampoline. There are lots of things we would love to do around the school.” Stacey McCoy, who has just released her second book Reanimation, said she was more than happy to get behind the pre-school. “This is the committee’s big fundraiser. As a mum, I know how important it is for these smaller schools to be able to upgrade their facilities and also bring about some community involvement,” she said. Ms McCoy will be speaking about the pressures of being a parent and also how she came to be a writer. Her newly released book will also be available for purchase on the night. Host, Kate Ashton, said that, as a Dunolly resident of over 30 years who has worked with many families, it is great to give back and support local organisations, like Dunolly pre-school. “I love going to local fundraisers and was really happy to be asked to emcee the night,” she said. It sounds like it will be a room full of pretty amazing women and any excuse for a night out is good, but when it’s actually for a community group, it’s even better. “The night will not only be a great networking opportunity but it’s great that it is both supporting the pre-school and a local novelist who will tell her success story and how she got to where she is.” The night will kick off from 6pm this Friday at the Dunolly Bowling Club. Tickets for the event are $25 and are available from the Dunolly branch of the Bendigo Bank and All Day on Broadway. For more information contact Rebecca on 0438 324 156.

Queen’s Birthday Celebrations This weekend was full of music and celebrations for the Queen’s Birthday. Our own Queen Victoria, (aka Rachel Buckley) was “most amused” to be honoured in this way. The weekend began with Trial by Jury, performed by the Dunolly Gilbert & Sullivan Society at the Historic Courthouse. The historic building was the perfect setting for this show and the cast in their costumes were right at home. In the afternoon at the Town Hall, the Savoy Opera Company provided a brilliant performance of Tales of Hoffmann. This opera fantasique` by Offenbach, is the epitome of the tragedy of love where Hoffmann loses his three loves by the nefarious schemes of his nemesis in three incarnations for each of the three acts. It is all rather surreal and macabre, but the beauty of the Barcarole in the final act makes up for it all. On Sunday the festivities continued, with the works of Sullivan being performed on the Fincham organ at St John’s Anglican Church. Alex Scutt, an Anglican minister and Gilbert and Sullivan aficionado, played the organ beautifully and the congregation sang to Sullivan’s hymns. Bishop Andrew Curnow officiated and member of parliament, Louise Staley, paid an unofficial visit, specifically to hear the organ. We had a lovely time, with children dressed in fairy costume greeting Queen Victoria at the Town Hall and buskers performing outside. Finally, the Dunolly Gilbert & Sullivan Society performed Iolanthe, or, The Peer and the Fairy. This is a hilarious show that pokes fun at the British peerage with fairies being the outraged victims who take dire vengeance by putting Strephon, the son of one of their own, Iolanthe, into parliament to control them. Of course there is a twist, with Strephon wanting to marry the lovely Phyllis who is the ward of the Lord Chancellor, who also wants her for himself. However, unbeknownst to him, Strephon is his son! Iolanthe, whom he married years ago and who he thought dead when she inexplicably disappeared, reveals the truth at the peril of her own life because she married a mortal against fairy law. The fairy Queen is about to put her to death when the other fairies stop her, saying that they have secretly married the other peers. She can’t put them all to death. What to do? In true G & S fashion all ends well when the Lord Chancellor, with a stroke of the pen on the official fairy law document, declares that all fairies who DON’T marry a mortal will die. The Queen chooses Private Willis, a Grenadier Guard, as her husband and turns all the peers into fairies and they all fly happily off to fairyland. The audience seemed to enjoy the performance, despite a few hiccups by our amateur, though very enthusiastic cast. Both performances were well-attended. The festival, the brainchild of Rachel Buckley, benefited the town, with the influx of many people. The market was buzzing with many shoppers in the cold, but bright sunlight. The shops and eateries were full of customers. Even some of our community organisations who assisted in many ways got a little bit of the pie. Our little town of Dunolly was put on the map with Bishop Curnow and Louise Staley making appearances as well. In all, I think the Gilbert & Sullivan Festival is a good thing for our community. The next festival will be in 2019, so let’s all get behind it.

providing walking tours around Wedderburn. Managed and coordinated by staff at the Loddon Visitor Information Centre, volunteers will guide visitors around the Wedderburn walking tour route, showing and providing information about specific places of interest. To be a successful volunteer you will not only need to have an interest in Loddon communities and tourism, but knowledge of our Shire’s heritage and tourism destinations. Great communication skills are also a must. To find out more, you can get in touch with Council’s Tourism and Marketing Officer Robyn Vella on 5494 1238. A detailed role description can also be found on Council’s website (www.loddon.vic.gov.au) or call the Organisational Development Unit on 5494 1233. Expressions of interest close at the end of this month (Friday 30 June) at 9.00am. Staying well in Loddon Shire If you’re an older resident who is interested in learning ways to live more independently and improving your physical and problem-solving abilities, then the Staying Well in Loddon program could be for you. Council is pleased to offer this independent living skills program, which will be run over two-half days by occupational therapists for older residents across the Loddon Shire. The program will run on 22 June and 5 July at the Pyramid Hill Seniors rooms, starting at 10am on both days. A light lunch will be provided and limited transport is also available. If you would like to know more about Staying Well in Loddon Shire or take part in the program, please contact Council on 5437 7999 by this coming Monday 19 June. 2017.

A herd of fairies. Yes, herd is the correct term.

We have a couple of issues this month that we want you to be aware of:

1) How to Stay Safe on your computer

DO NOT click “Unsubscribe” to any emails from any websites that you haven’t subscribed to. Hackers send out “unsubscribe” emails to thousands of email addresses in the hope they get a “live one”. If you do click on “unsubscribe” to something that you haven’t joined, you are telling the hackers that your email address is live and being used, which leads to you receiving a lot more unsolicited emails. Do not open any documents with .docx or winzip/zip. Do not click on flash ads especially on Facebook as they have been known to download viruses and trojans.

2) Unexpected deliveries to your home address: There have been a number of people who have received goods sent to their home that they haven’t ordered. Beware of signing up to view web pages, eg: Luxe. If you are asked for your home address as well as your full name, phone number and email address, then you are likely to be scammed. When the company has all of these details, it then sends you an unsolicited parcel with an invoice in it to pay for the goods you didn’t order. The invoice doesn’t have any street address or contact numbers, so the only way you can contact them is via email. The company asks you to send the goods back – at your cost and/or threatens you with a Debt Collection agency. Then, if you argue with them, you will be offered a 50% reduction on the invoice. The ACCC advises that as long as you contact the company that sent you the unsolicited goods, stating that you have received goods that weren’t ordered and asking them to collect them, it is NOT your responsibility to send the goods back, it is up to them to retrieve them. If you are hit:

1) Contact your Bank and Credit Card company

2) Change your passwords – PayPal, EBay, Email, Face Book etc

3) Bring your computer in to us to be cleaned and close

any back doors that hackers may have accessed. Microblast Computers

At the Bealiba Hall Close play this week with two teams having two wins and one loss and the other two teams having one win and two losses. Betty Lovel was playing really well. Next week Avoca will be visiting, so it should be a good competition.

Eagles Wrap Up Coming off a good win, this week we had a bye. All teams are pumped and we are looking forward to Round 7 at Trentham. It could snow again, so wear all your winter woollies. We take the opportunity to thank all the coaches in netball and football for all the hard work on and off the field. All the effort is starting to show dividends. Juniors are working hard and it’s good to see 17 children enjoying sport. A dinner for the juniors and their families will be held on 22 June. Thanks to Brad Schodde for stepping up to Auskick coach. This week, unfortunately, Steve Riley resigned as President. The Club thanks him for all his hard work and time given to the Club. Also thank you to Jake for his contribution to Auskick, and to Jen Mitchell for her outstanding work as Team Manager. Despite the gossip and rumour around the town, the Club is rebuilding with a strong leadership team that is already planning for 2018. In saying this, volunteers are essential to the success of the Club, so come along and do your bit for the young people of this town.

"Queen’s Birthday Bash" 11th June 2017

The sun was shining brightly for the Tarnagulla & District Golf Club’s "Queen’s Birthday Bash", Three-in-a-Team Stableford Event.

As the entrants began to assemble, they were heard to regale the impeccably manicured course. The fairways had all been mown and were in wonderful condition. This was due to the tireless efforts of our club supporters and volunteers who, over the last few months, have been busily maintaining the fairways, replenishing the sand scrapes and removing brush across the bush course. The ‘three-in-a-team’ stableford format provided a fun style for players of all skill levels to play together and against each other. Teams could be heard hooting and hollering as they made vital putts or vocally encourage their ball to avoid the treacherous ‘out of bounds’ fence line of the first hole. One of our volunteer greens keepers, Dave Shay, could be seen imparting his excellent knowledge of the course to his playing partners, Andrew Chan and Brian Harwood. David's suggestion of where to layup to, or where to aim putts, proved fruitful, as this combination of experience and skill could not be beaten on the day. The trio took out first place. After afternoon-tea, the trio very happily collected their trophies and reminisced about their best holes and shots to all. Very entertaining. The trio of Mary Giorgi, Mary McNamee and Sean Radich took out a tight battle for second place. This was a fantastic effort considering one of their trio had not played in a round of competition golf beforehand. After several close attempts newly joined member, Andrew Chan, took out ‘Nearest the Pin’ on the 3rd hole and Club president Liam Radich took out the award for ‘Longest Drive’ on the 5th hole (with an ever-rare straight drive). Once the entrants had finished their round, they were met with a buffet of sweets, cakes and sandwiches. Everyone enjoyed the stories told by club stalwart, John Shay. A special mention must be given to Pixie McNamee, who at 95 years young, proved that age is no impediment to volunteering by manning the raffle ticket table all afternoon. Such a fantastic event would not be possible without the amazing efforts of our many volunteers and supporters, in particular, the great efforts of volunteers Dave Shay, Mick Radich, Mick Thomson and Mary McNamee, who helped prepare the course for the day. The Club looks forward to having more fun events and encourages golfers of all skill levels to come and play. Anyone can play all day at Tarnagulla & District Golf Club for $5 (Just leave the money in the box at the course. No need to book. Bring family and friends and have a good hit around. The course looks a treat and the walking itself is a delight, with the bush on three sides and birds and kangaroos aplenty.
