In The Welcome Record Issue 23, 2 July 2014 we advised of Jean Anderson’s retirement from the board of MDHS. This is a follow-up article courtesy of The Maryborough Advertiser. As Jean is one of our very own (Dunolly resident and member of The Welcome Record) we feel her story is relevant to our paper. Jean Anderson and Peter Silver have retired from the Maryborough District Health Service Board of Management. The pair recently retired from the health service’s board after volunteering their skills and service for a combined 24 years. Both Jean and Peter joined the board in 2002. In addition to serving on the board, they have chaired and participated in a variety of committees and projects working with staff in all areas of the health service. A former nurse and nurse educator, Jean made a large contribution to the life of MDHS. She provided leadership and guidance as chair of the board for several terms. Her keen intellect and experience was valued in the development of policies and standards. Throughout her time at MDHS Jean served on various committees and projects including the quality audit committee, the consumer based Health Service Reference Group, the Reminiscence Dementia Project steering committee and the CancerCare steering committee.

Jean’s interest in research and the history and development of health, led her to write the history of the Dunolly Hospital in celebration of its 150

th

anniversary, with assistance from Jan Watts. Jean was instrumental in creating both the historical archives group and the showcase of innovations highlighting noteworthy projects and bodies of work undertaken by MDHS staff. MDHS is fortunate that Jean’s retirement from the board does not mean her considerable knowledge, expertise and gentle

I am delighted to present a brief report to the first Annual General Meeting of the Dunolly District Inc. [DDI], following the group’s formation in late March and more recent incorporation. The objectives for DDI are simple;

Develop town and district events Increase business growth Develop arts, culture and tourism in the district Support community organisations to achieve their objectives Represent the interests of the broader community

The DDI is a natural successor to the Dunolly Traders’ Association that had worked hard for six years to promote events and business activity in Dunolly. The need to re-invigorate the Dunolly Market was identified as the first priority to address. However, it became apparent that to initiate substantial change was not possible in the proposed timeframe of 4 to 5 months. Fortunately, enough stall holders and community members were prepared to take responsibility to

maintain the current market, so the simplest outcome was for a single-focus Dunolly Community Market Committee to be formed. This has happened and DDI will encourage its further development. Funds in the former Traders’ account that were generated from earlier markets have been transferred to the new committee. DDI has commenced to work closely with the new Bendigo Regional Tourism Board. We have been offered one day on the Tourism Board’s stall at the Royal Melbourne Show to showcase local produce and

the tourism potential of the district. This is a great opportunity. DDI is also inviting the Board’s Tourism Development Officer to discuss with interested people in our district how regional tourism can practically benefit smaller communities, such as ours. Similarly, DDI welcomes the Central Goldfields Shire Tourism Manager, Joel Chadwick, as an ex officio member and we appreciate the interest and support expressed by Cr Bob Henderson as a regular attendee and contributor to our meetings. The Northern Goldfields Tourism Association has merged with the new DDI and its members have also transferred on the understanding that DDI will continue to publish the very popular Tiny Towns map and brochure. DDI will host several forums over the next 12 months that we anticipate will interest local, small businesses. Topics and dates will be posted in The Welcome Record. Supporting events that have potential to attract visitors, as well as being of interest to local people, is an important objective. To that end, the DDI committee is working with the Wings and Wheels Weekend planners to make their forthcoming afternoon rally to Dunolly as enjoyable as possible. As convenor of the new Dunolly District Inc. committee, I appreciate the expertise and experience brought by all members of the committee, especially Marion Da Costa, Secretary, and Rod Stuart, Treasurer. It is encouraging to see that the membership comes from several towns in the district. We look forward to a productive year ahead. If you are interested in economic and tourism development and promotion of the area, you are welcome to join DDI. The membership fee is $50. Please contact the Secretary, Marion Da Costa, [email protected] if you are interested.

guidance will be lost. Jean will continue with the historical archive committee, the cancer care project and the innovations committee as a community volunteer. Current board president, Wendy McIvor was full of praise for the outgoing members. ‘Through their positions on the board, both Peter and Jean have made outstanding contributions to MDHS and to the health and wellbeing of the community’. Ms McIvor said. ‘Their personal interest and involvement in the activities of the organisation were commitments that far exceeded the requirements of board members. Their contributions are valued and sincerely appreciated by their fellow board members and by MDHS staff.’

FIRESIDE DICKENS IN DUNOLLY On Saturday last (9 Aug) I attended a literary reading at Buckley’s of Dunolly. As a born and bred Melbournian, I really appreciate the cultural scene in my city. But after enjoying Fireside Dickens at Buckley’s of Dunolly, I realise central Victoria has much to offer when it comes to culture. Melbourne actor Phil Zachariah gave a flawless performance as Charles Dickens, suitably dressed for the occasion. A master of narration, Zachariah captured characters and accents, breathing new life into Dickens’ writings. Dickens would have been delighted. Top the performance off with a tawny port (or two), coffee and cake, and the afternoon was one to remember. More please Dunolly.

Leigh Hay, author and poet, Melbourne.

READING AS AN ART FORM Many of us have happy memories of being read to as children, at home – perhaps cuddled up in bed next to Mum or Dad – or at school, when the reader brought characters to life using their voices and facial expressions to stir our emotions and imaginations. Some of us have vivid memories of the narrow, dark and twisting streets of London, money-grabbing capitalists and down-and-out workers conjured up by Charles Dickens; some of us turn again and again to his stories in our later years, Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities being among our favourites. In Dunolly, this past weekend, Phil Zachariah reminded us of why we love being read to when he brought his presentation, ‘Fireside Dickens’, to Buckley’s of Dunolly. Using a reading desk modelled on the one used by Dickens when, in 1858, he began to give public readings of his work, Phil read excerpts from Dickens’ social commentary published in his newspaper series, Household Words, and the first four chapters of Nicholas Nickleby. Turning from applied physics and astronomy to an artistic life, Phil graduated from the National Theatre, Melbourne, and worked with independent theatre companies, the Victoria State Opera and the CSIRO touring troupe in a diversely interesting career embracing writing, composing, directing and acting. Returning to performance after taking a break to raise a family, he turned to the love of Dickens inspired by his mother and concentrated on building his repertoire. There is much to read on the internet about his performances – including overseas - but it was interesting to discover that he uses as a guide the hand-written directions Dickens wrote for his own readings. He told an interviewer, ‘I also took note of the many contemporary descriptions of Dickens’ performances while avoiding any temptation to try to mimic him’. He is certainly inspired in his ability to move from the accent, tone and gestures of one character to another without seeming pause, vividly peopling a scene as we, the audience, hang on his words. It was certainly a lovely experience to feel again the anticipation, the chill, the contentment, the fun, that I knew as a child when someone took the time and interest to sit with me and stir my imagination with words.

POEMS BY ELIZABETH What has happened to the poems by Elizabeth Rickards? We look forward with great delight to her poems; ‘The Record’ just isn’t the same without them. We look forward to reading all the articles in ‘The Record’. Hoping you have a supply of her work. Looking forward to more of them.

Bev and Kev Cain We also enjoy Elizabeth’s poems, but also include poems from other contributors and some classics from known published poets for variety.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS

Please note: Anyone who is submitting Articles, Classifieds,

Personal or Private Notices, or CHANGING THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS

The Welcome Record provides a community service completely run by volunteers. They attend the office on Tuesday to type articles, compile and format the paper, on Wednesday to proofread the final copy and print. On Thursday the paper is collated, folded and distributed. Our timeframe for putting the text into place is short and we are finding it difficult to rearrange layouts to suit late requests for changes or additions, particularly with regard to advertisements. We wish to remind contributors of our policy that closing time for items is Tuesday at 3.30pm unless prior arrangements have been made. Items submitted after that time will not be included in that week’s issue. Thank you, The WR Team

Thirty-one stall holders turned up including five new stall holders. ‘Added more variety’. Cold weather and lots of smiles enjoyed the day. Photos can be viewed on: Dunolly Community Market ‘Facebook’ page. Thanks to our community and stall holders; without their contribution we would not be able to make the market flourish now and in the future. Together we will keep the town shining.

August is near to full planting out time with the winter months getting left behind us. The main garden job for now is to prepare for spring planting. Any gardeners who prefer to sow their own tomato seeds; this is the best month to start. Tomato seeds do need good warm conditions to germinate. Once they surface, then it is time to gradually harden them off. If young plants are left too long in warm conditions, they will grow tall and fall over. Tomato plants do not like fresh lime. Soil that has been limed two or three years before would be suitable; also too much nitrogen can cause loss of fruit, more so if the weather remains cool in the early summer. The Grosse Lisse is a very good tomato, but very susceptible to the wilt virus; it very often has the wilt before fruit is near half grown. Onion plants can be planted out now until the end of September. It is not wise to plant out the full crop yet as some of the early planted ones could bolt to seed if there is good growing weather conditions during the late spring months. Plants that have been in containers for long periods of time are the most likely to bolt to seed. Dwarf peas can be sown this month. The early varieties, like Melbourne Market also known as William Massey are the best for early sowing. Green Feast is better left until mid-September to mid-October, as they do like the warmer weather. Peas do need lime and fertilisers at sowing time, or beforehand. Other seeds to sow now are carrots, parsnips, beetroot, lettuce, silverbeet and spring onions. All frost tender plants are better left until later dates as the seasons are getting later. Fruit Trees: Pruning and grafting can be done this month as the buds will be starting to show by now. Grafting must be done before the buds show any sign of swelling or else the new growth has nothing to feed on once they open. Citrus trees are better left until next month. Early pruning does encourage early growth and that could be burnt off with late frosts.

Happy Gardening, Alf.

NEWBRIDGE RESTORED ‘It is not really about the fish, though they are welcome’ said the man fishing unsuccessfully at Newbridge last Sunday afternoon. ‘It is the peace and tranquillity of sitting by the water.’ As we walked along the sandy beach at the water's edge we appreciated what he said. But the flood debris metres above our heads told a different story. The huge floods which destroyed the football oval and clubrooms as well as uprooting huge trees seem like an unimaginable dream now. The courage of the Newbridge committee which decided to replace all that they lost is to be commended when you consider the devastation they faced at the time. The beautiful new clubrooms built on a two metre mound, the new football oval, netball and tennis courts as well as the popular new children's playground are a credit to the Newbridge community and all their hard work when it would have been far easier to do nothing. A very cold wind hurried us back to the car. We drove up to the end of the reserve where some water fowl walked leisurely across the track, and agreed it would be a great place to have a picnic on a warm day. Before leaving Newbridge we called into the Newbridge Store for some supplies. The sign above the door said it was established in 1855. Now it has camping and hardware supplies on the shelves as well as takeaway food, newspapers and a post office. Owners Beryl and Darryl Peters told us that their new licenced cafe will be opening soon. It is in the newly refurbished hardware room. This area had an earthen floor ten years ago when they moved to Newbridge for a tree change and took over the store. With the help of their son and co-worker Mark, and Darryl's cousin Brett Kellet who is a local tradesman, they have sympathetically restored the room into an inviting cafe with its own side entrance. When asked who was the cook Darryl was quick to answer he was, just ask him. Beryl agreed. They intend to offer a basic cafe menu as well as offering gluten free and vegetarian food and allowing patrons to decide if they want large or small meals. Currently they make all their own pies, pastries and sausage rolls as well as burgers made from beef, lamb and kangaroo. These will still be on offer in the new cafe. They will not be offering evening meals unless there is a booking for a special function. Ordinarily they will be referring evening diners to the Newbridge Hotel across the road. As well as the cafe venture Darryl has spent some years researching information for a book written by Ken Arnold about the history of Newbridge. The book is on sale in the store. Darryl is passionate that the old stories from little towns do not die. We wish them well in their new venture

LIAM’S FUNDRAISER A little while ago at Liam’s school, there were some students having a fundraiser for the fire brigade. This got Liam thinking about doing a fundraiser of his own. After some thought, he asked his mum and dad if he could do this and then decided on making loom band bracelets. Next was to think about who he would like to give the proceeds to. After doing some research, Liam decided on The Smith Family. Reading their web site, they are a children’s charity helping disadvantaged Australian children to get the most out of their education. Armed with a sample collection of bracelets he had already made and the information about the charity he would like to do this fundraiser for, he persuaded (his own words) the principal for the go-ahead. Liam is in grade two at Hamlyn Banks PS and it was now time to let his school know, so at assembly he gave a little talk about his stall and the charity he was hoping to raise money for. Liam set up his table of goods mostly of loom band bracelets he had made, but also some woollen bracelets, bookmarks and key rings (which were made by a family friend and donated to him to sell) near the library and canteen on Wednesday and Friday at both lunchtime and recess, and the money was put in the school safe at the end of each day. On Monday morning Liam went to see the principal and they counted all the money - $137.20 was the total and this was donated to The Smith Family through their web site. The next Friday Liam again stood out the front at assembly and told them all how his fundraiser went. A lady from The Smith Family was there to congratulate him on his donation from his fundraiser and presented him with a certificate of thanks. Liam walked away with a big smile on his face and a great feeling in his heart.

When I asked him what it was that he liked best about his fundraiser he answered, ‘Selling the bracelets that I made.’ We are all very proud of you Liam and wonder what you will do next.

Peace, love and happiness from Sankalpa

LOOK OUT! DON’T LET THE EARLY BIRD GET YOU

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) is reminding Central Victorians that some bird species are already starting to swoop people as part of their normal breeding behaviour. DEPI Senior Wildlife Officer Brady Childs said there was a report of Plovers or Masked Lapwings (Vanellus miles) swooping in Bendigo in the last fortnight, the first report in the area this year. ‘Spring isn’t here yet but some birds, particularly in Northern Victoria, such as Plovers and Australian Magpies (Cracticus tibicen), have already begun protecting their nesting sites by swooping,’ Mr Childs said. ‘As the weather starts to warm up birds start breeding and we want people to be aware of swooping birds. ‘No-one likes being swooped by a territorial bird, but unfortunately this is just normal bird behaviour and, if possible, the best response is to keep away from the area. ‘If you do end up in an area where there is a swooping bird, try to protect your head and eyes and move quickly through the area. ‘They are swooping to defend their eggs and young and if they perceive you to be a potential threat, they may swoop. ‘We share our environment with native birds and people must remember not to harm them because they are protected under the Wildlife Act. ‘DEPI is encouraging people to notify others in their local areas about swooping birds. ‘Report a swooping incident via the Victorian Magpie Map on the DEPI website at www.depi.vic.gov.au so other members of the community can see any swooping hotspots. ‘A ‘Beware, swooping birds in the area’ sign is also available in the online ‘Swoop Off’ kit to print from the DEPI website at www.depi.vic.gov.au.’

EXERCISE FOR YOUR BRAIN We all know that older people are often encouraged to exercise their brains and to keep their minds active. Whilst crosswords and other magazine puzzles are recommended activities for this purpose, for the increasing number of computer literate ‘oldies’, there are many online quizzes and other ways of testing your knowledge and memory, at the same time stimulating your brain. One of my most recent discoveries is the quiz page on the Encyclopaedia Britannica website. There are hundreds of short quizzes, mostly having between six and 10 questions, in a wide range of categories. These are mostly in the ‘True or False’ format and the best aspect is that when you make any mistakes, you can retake the quiz, or come back to it later – and no-one but you will know your results! You can register on the site, as there are competitions with other players available, but I have not bothered to do so, much preferring the anonymity. I have found it extremely addictive and often have to prise myself off the computer late at night, when I am often tempted to take just one more….! One may well say ‘Get a life’, but I have certainly found it to be a valuable exercise, not to mention an excellent

cure for insomnia – I now never have any trouble going to sleep! I have recommended the quizzes to some family members and older friends and I believe some of my grandchildren may now also be converted.

HAVE A LOOK AT BUSHFIRE FUEL REDUCTION PLANS

Central Victorians are encouraged to provide feedback about the Department of Environment and Primary Industries’ (DEPI) draft fire operations plan for the Murray Goldfields Fire District, which is on display until 31 August 2014. DEPI Murray Goldfields District Manager Paul Bates said the plan shows where DEPI and Parks Victoria intend to carry out planned burning and other fuel reduction activities on public land in the next three years. ‘Planned burns in asset protection zones aim to provide the highest level of localised protection to human life, property and key community assets by reducing radiant heat and ember attack in the event of a bushfire. ‘There are also new proposed planned burns in the other management zones, including bushfire moderation zones (BMZ), which are in more remote areas and aim to reduce the speed and intensity of bushfires and protect nearby assets – particularly from ember spotting. ‘Local knowledge is the key to building this plan to reduce bushfire risk which is why we’ve been talking to local communities and key stakeholders such as the CFA, local councils, water authorities, forest managers, wineries, bee keepers and the local tourism industry. ‘People are welcome to get involved in our planning process throughout the year and I encourage anyone with comments or questions about the draft plan to come and talk to us. ‘We do our best to minimise the impacts of planned burning on communities and the environment but ultimately the decision to burn is always driven by the need to reduce bushfire risk to human life and property.’ To see the draft plan for your area, visit your local DEPI or Parks Victoria office or go to www.depi.vic.gov.au/burns. Draft plans are also available to view at:

City of Greater Bendigo offices, 195-229 Lyttleton Terrace, Bendigo and 125 High Street, Heathcote

Loddon Shire Council Office, 41 High Street, Wedderburn

Central Goldfields Shire offices, 22 Nolan Street, Maryborough

The plans will be finalised in September and DEPI will publish the approved plans in early October 2014. DEPI manages risks to our communities and landscape from bushfire and flood.

NEW FENCE LAWS

Nationals member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, has welcomed new laws aimed at minimising fencing disputes between neighbours. The Coalition Government passed new legislation through Parliament that makes the laws about fences clearer, simpler and fairer. ‘Good fences make good neighbours and the Coalition Government is acting to make fencing guidelines clearer and easier for local home owners,’ Mr Walsh said. The new laws will, for the first time in Victoria, establish clear rules and procedures that neighbours can follow when negotiating the type and location of their boundary fence.’ In 2012-13 fencing disputes represented the greatest number of calls to the Dispute Settlement Centre with 6,611 inquiries. The new laws establish clear rules and procedures that neighbours can follow when negotiating the type and location of their boundary fence. If parties cannot agree informally about a new of replacement fence, a neighbour will be able to give a specified notice to the other neighbour, setting out the details of a proposed fence, type and location, estimated cost and proposed cost-sharing basis. If an agreement still can’t be reached, either owner will be able to seek an order from the Magistrate’s Court specifying what fence should be built and how the costs should be shared.

FIRESIDE DICKENS What more pleasant way to spend a freezing cold Sunday afternoon than sitting by a roaring fire in Rachel Buckley’s salon listening to a wonderful rendition of works by Charles Dickens. The presenter, actor Phil Zachariah, assumed the persona of the author and was most convincing with his tufted beard and swept back wings of hair and dressed in the costume of the day. Mr Zachariah possesses a commanding and resonant tone of voice and in the first half of the programme presented some entertaining passages using a variety of accents from all over the British Isles and all filled with the most expressive vernacular. The second half was given over to four chapters from Nicholas Nickleby, a novel loved by so many Dickens aficionados. Our presenter captured the abominable Mr. Squeers and his awful family extremely well and transported us back to Dotheby’s Hall and all its atrocities. Rachel always presents her performance afternoons so hospitably with sherries to warm the cockles on arrival and afternoon tea, in bone china no less, following the performance. I certainly had a dickens of a time. Cynthia Lindsay

AVOIDING SCAMS Older people are often seen as easy targets for scams committed by criminals trying to steal their money and identity. ‘Older and wiser’ is a Consumer Affairs Victoria initiative which aims to arm seniors with the information they need to fight back and protect themselves and their loved ones against the people trying to deceive them. The campaign also includes useful information about seniors’ consumer rights, what to know if thinking about living in a retirement village, as well as videos, a quiz to find out how scam smart you are, and a range of tips on how to avoid common scams. To find out more go to consumer.vic.gov.au/olderandwiser or telephone the Consumer Affairs helpline on 1300 558 181.

Green light for flood project A recent visit to Bridgewater by Victorian Minister for Water Peter Walsh has brought some encouraging news for local residents. Mr Walsh was there to announce funding for a $215,000 flood investigation project involving flood mapping and an assessment of mitigation options for the town. ‘During the January 2011 flood, 177 homes and 16 businesses were inundated,’ Mr Walsh said. ‘This investigation will enhance our understanding of flood extents, depths, velocities and the potential impacts of flooding of the Loddon River at Bridgewater.’ The local community will be consulted throughout the project, which will be managed by North Central Catchment Management Authority with support from Loddon Shire Council. The government is providing $187,050 for the project through the Flood Zoom program, while the Commonwealth will contribute $27,950 through the Natural Disaster Resilience Grants Scheme. Thanks are due to both governments for their ongoing support of the Shire. The magnificent financial backing Council received in the wake of the 2011 floods has continued since then through announcements such as this.

Artists, keep this in mind The Loddon Healthy Minds Network is presenting an art exhibition in Loddon Shire to be held around Mental

Health Week in October. This year, the Network is focusing on what are called the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ – connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give. The competition is open to all Loddon Shire residents, but this time there are two categories –

students aged 14-18 years and open. Any medium can be used, but all work must have been completed within the last 12 months and solely by the artist, and artwork size should be somewhere between A4 and one metre square. Entry forms for students will be collected from the school at the same time as the artwork on Monday 8 September. For entrants in the open section, forms can be collected from the Shire offices at Wedderburn or Serpentine, arranged by calling Kara on 5437 7999 or by going to www.loddonhealthyminds.com.au Entries in this category need to be completed and delivered to Council offices at either Wedderburn or Serpentine by the same date, 8 September. Prizes will be presented at functions in the schools or towns represented by the artwork and the pieces will then be displayed locally.

THE TIGER Tiger, Tiger burning bright In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye Could frame they fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes!

On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand formed thy dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears,

Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the lamb make thee?

William Blake The Poets’ Commonwealth

A NEW LOOK My friends and I often go out to lunch

And we are a happy bunch. We’ve been doing it for years

And have shared both happiness and tears.

I wonder why they look younger than me, We are the same age at eighty three.

I’d love to look like that Not too thin and not too fat.

I’m going to make myself look like them, When I’m finished I’ll be a gem.

Everyone will get a surprise, And I’ll be watched by all of the guys.

I can’t do much about my legs, They’re just like two skinny clothes pegs,

But I’ll cover them up with jeans, Like the ones I wore in my teens.

I’ll get my hair sprayed pink; That’ll be great – don’t you think?

I’ll get a tattoo on my neck. Why not? – What the heck!

What if all that doesn’t work? I’d probably go berserk.

Perhaps I’ll just stay like me, I’m not so bad – don’t you agree?

FETTUCCINE WITH LEMON TUNA AND CAPERS

Ingredients 400g dried fettuccine pasta 1 lemon 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil 1 x 400g can diced tomatoes 3 shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 x 425g can Italian-style tuna in oil, undrained, flaked 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, coarsely chopped 1/3 cup chopped fresh continental parsley Method 1. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain. 2. Meanwhile, use a zester to remove rind from the lemon. (Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to peel the rind from the lemon. Use a small sharp knife to remove the white pith from the rind. Cut rind into very thin strips.) Juice the lemon. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add tomato, shallot and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, tuna, capers and half the parsley. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Season with pepper. 4. Add the pasta to the tuna mixture and toss to combine. Divide the pasta mixture among serving bowls. Top with the lemon rind and remaining parsley to serve. Note: To give the pasta a bit of a kick, swap the tuna for chilli tuna in oil. For a twist: Make Fettuccine with anchovies and capers:

Omit tuna.

Add 8 anchovy fillets, drained, chopped, to the sauce with the tomato in step 2.

Omit the parsley. Add fresh basil to serve. Recipe from taste.com

APPLE & BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Prep time 30 minutes. Cooking one hour. Ingredients 60g butter, chopped 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into wedges ¼ cup brown sugar ⅓ cup pure cream 2 eggs ⅓ cup caster sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ⅓ cup plain flour ⅓ cup self-raising flour 2 tablespoons boiling water 20g butter, melted Double cream and icing sugar, to serve Method 1. Preheat oven to 180°/160°C fan-forced. Melt butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the apple to pan. Cook, turning occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes or until apple is caramelised and tender. Transfer to a greased 3cm-deep, 16.5cm x 24cm (base) baking pan. Repeat with remaining apple. 2. Add brown sugar and cream to pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until sugar has dissolved and mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat. Pour over apple. 3. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl on high speed for 8 to 10 minutes or until thick and creamy. Using a large metal spoon, fold in sifted flours (see tip below). Fold in boiling water and melted butter. Pour over apple mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in sponge comes out clean (cover loosely with foil if over-browning). Dust with icing sugar. Serve with cream. Tip: Sifting flours together three times before adding to eggs will make sponges lighter. You could add ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon with the flour in step 3.

SCHOOLS READY TO GET ACTIVE Central Goldfields Shire school communities are set to get active in October this year as part of a successful Walk to School program grant application just announced through VicHealth. The Central Goldfields Shire Council recreation services department applied for a grant on behalf of the local community in June 2014, and has been successful in securing funding to benefit all local primary and secondary school communities to get active through walking. October is already the month locally where the community has a particular focus on walking with several programs and projects scheduled to occur as part of the Central Goldfields Physical Activity Group initiatives. The third Annual Get Up & Go Family Fun Day has been planned for Sunday 26 October 2014 incorporating the Spring Into Summer Stroll around the Lake Victoria Walking Track, Physical Activity Expo, and the culmination of the highly successful Hunt For The Golden Shoe program. The Physical Activity Expo will be conducted from the Maryborough Hockey Fields and will involve many of the local sport and active recreation organisations providing come-and-try activities and interactive displays. The expo will also incorporate a ‘Healthy BBQ’, Circus skills demonstrations and workshops, and fun family activities. Event sponsor and partner, Bendigo Bank, is also going to add some extra excitement and fun to the day with the expected guest appearance of their mascot ‘Piggy’, egg and spoon races, sack races, and plenty more activities for the whole family. Central Goldfields Physical Activity Group partner Parks Victoria is also looking forward to the third Annual Get Up & Go Family Fun Day. ‘We are very excited to be involved in the 2014 Family Fun Day. We hope lots of people visit the Parks Victoria display and ask us about the many beautiful parks we are so lucky to have in the area. Combining physical activity with time spent in nature is a great way to keep the mind and body healthy’ said Parks Victoria Ranger Rob Brouwers. In 2013 the Timor Primary School was the beneficiary of a special prize at the Get Up & Go Family Fun Day for the school with the highest percentage of school students in attendance and participating in the Spring Into Summer Stroll. The school was rewarded with $500 worth of valuable sports equipment of their choice, which will be put to good use in the school curriculum to activate and excite their primary school students. ‘All local primary and secondary schools have signed up for the Hunt For The Golden Shoe again in 2014 which is great fun for the whole school community and they are getting active at the same time’, Community Recreation Officer Ben Robertson stated. With the support of the VicHealth Walk to School Program local school communities will be given even more opportunities to become active through walking, and it is anticipated that the increases in physical activity through walking will be incorporated into the each school community in a sustainable way. For further information please contact CGS Community Recreation Officer Ben Robertson on 5461 0678.

No job too small

It was perfect playing conditions for our Round 14 clashes vs. the Harcourt FNC last weekend but not a great day out for our club. Our U13 netballers played a much better game of netball than previous weeks, having more opportunities to score but the balls seemed to keep bouncing around and out of the goal ring! The Maryborough Golf Club award went to Holly for her determination to get in front and get the ball. The U17 gals came up against a tough side in Harcourt but they fought hard for all four quarters. The pressure down the court was really good - seeing the defenders getting lots of intercepts. Thank you to Briella Gibbs who stepped up from U13s and won an incentive for her excellent game in C and WA. Briella was always driving forward to the ball and backing up her team mates. Additional incentives went to Claire and Steph G for sticking on their players and being in front to cause those turn overs. It was a tough day on the court for our senior netballers but we know that our girls will be able to learn from it and work out what we need to do to get back on the winner’s list. On a more positive note, there were still some very good passages of play throughout the day and the girls looked snazzie in their new dresses! Thank you very much to Katie Lovel who worked tirelessly to get these uniforms organised. For A Grade The One Tree Hill Hotel and Maryborough Golf Club incentives went to Sophie McQuienn and Lou Carey for their strong games in defence. The B Grade Queens Arms incentive went to Shelby Gloury for her tough game in goal shooter. Looks like the jet lag has finally worn off hey Shelbs! Although C Grade suffered a major blow with Sarah Smith going down with an injured ankle, it was good to see that Smithy was still able to make it back to the pub for a few bevvies, hopping into the Shamrock on crutches no less! The Shamrock award went to Smithy for her red hot crack in goal defence prior to that dramatic moment. Our junior footballers travelled to Royal Park to take on Bushy in what was our U12’s best performance for the season! The boys kicked one goal 7 in the final quarter with Sam Spinks playing so well he was awarded an incentive from the opposition for his terrific match. The Lovel brothers and Thomas Jago also worked hard all day. Well done lads, you did the Dunolly jumper proud! Our U15 boys played well all day, despite having five less players on the field so well done boys. The glass went to Matthew Gidley, the Mars Bar incentive to Thomas Jago and the Maryborough Golf Club incentive to Brandon Pitt. The Reserves had a disappointing first three quarters but had a strong last quarter to finish the game with a few positives. Best on included; Marty G, Grant R, Hayden W, Daniel C, Ethan W and Wayne L.

Better luck this week against the Creek fellas. Our seniors had a good start to the first quarter with Jesse Olsen kicking four goals and Jamie Townsend and Joey Thompson getting plenty of the ball around the packs. Harcourt used the ball much better than Dunolly for the rest of the game, spreading and kicking goals. It was a good fourth quarter by the Dunolly lads but in the end Harcourt were too strong and went on to record a good victory. Better players included Jessie Olsen, Joey Thompson and Jamie Townsend. Word has it that it’s the 450

th milestone match for club

legend Wayne ‘Woosa’ Lanfranchi this weekend (Round 15, Dunolly vs. Campbell’s Creek)! Congratulations Woosa! It would be great to see as many past players and supporters of our club to come and support Woosa and the rest of the Dunolly Eagles this Saturday in what is also going to be our last home game for the season. Tonight, for our last function, the club is putting on a Trivia Night - hosted by assistant coach - Jamie Townsend. Parents, friends, supporters and players are welcome to make up a table of 6-8 people. To see if there’s a last minute table left or for more information please call Brooke Deason on 0438074835. Good luck to all of our teams today.
