We wandered up to Bendigo on Sunday to see my
nephew who was down from Queensland with his
partner and their baby. She is about six months old
and is a lovely little girl. Have you ever noticed that if
there is a very young child in the room, it is very hard
not to look at him/her? There is a strange compulsion
to watch every move – even if the child is asleep.
Perhaps this is an ancient tribal need to protect the
youngest members of the group. Whatever it is, it’s
fascinating.

THE DIFFERENCE A DOLLAR CAN MAKE
A single dollar given in good grace can make a big
difference to the life of an underprivileged child or a
child suffering in a war-torn country.
It is for this reason that Maryborough’s Beth Wood
branch president for Maryborough’s local Save The
Children Australia group and other members are
willing to give up a good part of their day to sit in the
foyer of a local IGA supermarket for the best part of
next Friday 24 October.
‘We will be holding a $1.00 fundraiser,’ Beth says ‘All
we are asking is for people to donate $1.00. We will be
in the IGA supermarket foyer from 9.00am to about
4.00pm. We have also got students from MEC
contributing and the money that we raise will go into
general funds for the work of Save The Children.’

FOOD
Wouldn't it be wonderful if
you had your own chef? The
chef would come every day
with all the ingredients for
dinner, prepare it, serve,
wash up and go home. If I
ever win Tattslotto that would
be a must have for me. Can
you imagine, healthy food
every evening, a wide variety
of meals over time and no mess to clear away.
When Mum was sick of cooking she'd say ‘I don't know
why we have to eat.’ It is a sentiment I have echoed in
many ways over the years. When I ask what they
would like for a change the answer is often; ‘What
were you thinking?’ Sometimes when I really do not
know what to serve up we have takeaway. But it has
always been my job to tackle the food. It is a huge
task. Buying food, always mindful of the budget,
nutrition, and everyone's differing tastes, takes ages.
Once it was not so difficult, but now there are all the
labels to read so we can see exactly what we are
eating. Then we have to stack it in the car without
help, (once there were very helpful boys who used to
push the trolley out to the car and help put it in the
boot), cart it all inside and finally put it all away.
If that was the end of it I wouldn't mind so much. But
now we are inundated with cooking shows on TV
where everyone keeps telling us what to eat. Smiling
people tell us how delicious kale is; try the grain fed
beef and chilli is great with everything. One woman
tells us that she cannot taste the vegetables she has
pulverised in her Magic Bullet. I have to wonder what
is the point of having them if you cannot distinguish
what you are eating.
22 October 2014
Once we ate seasonal vegetables and whatever
protein was at a reasonable price. Commercially made
cakes and biscuits were expensive and rarely on the
menu. Unfortunately it now works out cheaper to buy
factory made foods and we eat too much of it and it is
not good for us. No wonder we are living through an
obesity epidemic and are all made to feel guilty for the
greed of the big food companies. When I employ my
chef (after that Tattslotto win) that will no longer be
my worry. I can't wait.

34 JOBS IN 65 DAYS JOBS DRIVE
21 October to 24 December 2014
Neighbourhood Renewal, working closely
with Goldfields Business and local
Employment Service Providers, is pleased to announce
the launch of the 34 Jobs in 65 Days campaign, a
campaign that is set to destroy the idea that ‘there are
no jobs in Maryborough’.
After the activities of the recent Work Readiness Week
where employers gave presentations to local
jobseekers about their businesses and what they look
for in employees, a common theme emerged. It was a
sense of hopelessness among jobseekers who have
struggled to find work in recent times.
However, this was completely at odds with many of
the businesses involved, who have struggled to fill
positions and find suitable employees.
‘After some debriefing discussions and feedback from
the Work Readiness Week, we found that whilst it has
been difficult over the years for jobseekers to break
into the labour market, there are still jobs out there
that can’t be filled’ said Matt Broad, Employment and
Learning Coordinator for the shire and project worker
for the campaign. ‘We want to break the negativity
surrounding employment in Central Goldfields Shire.
Yes, we know that it’s not easy to get work, but the
jobs are there. We just need to get people excited
about work and build that positive attitude again, to
help our jobseekers shrug off that sense of
hopelessness and build a “can do” attitude’.
The campaign is running from the 21 October up until
Christmas Eve, with regular updates on the jobs
posted to the Work Ready Central Goldfields Facebook
page as they are found. ‘We are very confident that
not only can we find 34 jobs in the lead up to
Christmas, but are hoping we can blow the figure out
of the water’

NATIONAL WATER INITIATIVE
Summer is coming and, with it, dry conditions for many
parts of Australia. While it may be difficult to imagine
for city dwellers, parts of regional Australia will likely
face severe water shortages over the coming months.
During the past 10 years Australia’s water management
has been focused by the National Water Initiative and
overseen by the National Water Commission. This
helped many of our towns and cities through the
devastating millennium drought and beyond. The 10year assessment of the National Water Initiative
released this week by the commission confirms the
importance of the initiative for water reform. But the
National Water Commission will be wrapped up at the
end of the year due to funding cuts under the 2014
federal budget.
Agricultural green paper
This week, a new commonwealth water infrastructure
ministerial working group, chaired by Agriculture
Minister Barnaby Joyce, outlined its recommendations
for water infrastructure projects as part of its
Agricultural Competitiveness Green Paper. The report is
laden with dozens of dams and other major water
infrastructure projects proposed for potential
commonwealth support. It states that such support
would be dependent upon alignment with National
Water Initiative principles. However, without the
National Water Commission, there is no obvious
responsible body to make an independent expert
assessment on whether such principles have been
adhered to.
Building a national water system
Streams and rivers transport water across great
distances and feed groundwater aquifers underlying
enormous areas such as the Great Artesian Basin. With
the obvious exception of Tasmania, these surface water
and groundwater systems rarely respect state and
territory boundaries. Australia’s Constitution states
specifically that: “The Commonwealth shall not, by any
law or regulation of trade or commerce, abridge the
right of a State or of the residents therein to the
reasonable use of the waters of rivers for conservation
or irrigation.”
Arguably, the greatest achievement of the government
under former Prime Minister John Howard was to
oversee the development and signing of Australia’s
National Water Initiative. This document was the first
formalised agreement to work together to achieve
national water management objectives, following the
initial 1944 Water Reform agreement.
The initiative includes commitments to provide water
for the environment, address over-allocation of rural
22 October 2014
supplies, register water rights, develop standards for
water accounting, expand water trading, improve
water supply pricing and manage urban water
demands.
To guide the implementation of the initiative, Howard
established an independent statutory authority, the
National Water Commission, in 2004. The commission
was to provide independent, evidence-based advice to
the Council of Australian Governments and the
Australian government.
Throughout the last decade, the overseer-ship of the
National Water Commission has produced progress
towards many of these goals. Water trading capacity
has improved agricultural productivity for many rural
Australians. Formal allocation of water to the
environment has revived the long-term survival
prospects for wetlands and other ecosystems.
Major urban water supplies have been bolstered. This
has drastically reduced the likelihood of water
restrictions being imposed for most Australians in the
coming decades.
Drought-plagued states of the USA, such as California,
now point to Australia’s National Water Initiative as a
successful example of cooperation to achieve more
sustainable water management.
Profound reforms, more needed
In the last 10 years, the Australian water sector has
been through the most profound reforms in our
history. Indeed, they have had to navigate through
new extremes in drought and flood and deal with the
increasing risk from more complex water sources.
Without these, many towns and cities may have run
dry.
But the world in which water is managed continues to
change, and there is unfinished business from the
National Water Initiative. Now is not the time to rest
on our past achievements — the drivers may have
changed but new issues can and will continue to
emerge.
A loss of focus on the National Water Initiative would
be an enormous lost opportunity for ongoing
coordinated, cooperative water management in
Australia.

WATER AND SHADE
There are two things we need going into summer and
only one we can control. Everyone will agree that our
harsh summer sun can be way too hot for our veggie
gardens in our part of the world, so it makes sense to
put some shade up over them. Here at Sankalpa we
looked at the different options on how to put some
shade up and over our garden. We decided on a
polypipe tunnel all the way around our U shape garden
bed. On one weekend the 50ml polypipe went up over
some star stakes that were hammered into the ground
outside the garden bed at the joins of each sleeper,
with a large enough arch to walk under, then the five
rows of battens which are 70ml decking timber went
on the next weekend, but then there was some debate
here as to what type, colour and the percent of shade
to put up. After talking to other gardeners, chatting
with different gardening groups on Facebook and the
fact that we are very happy with the great success
from the shade cloth (which is on a wooden structure)
we have had over our berry garden for more than five
years now, we thought that would be the way to go
for the veggie garden as well. So a roll of cream
coloured, (which lets more light in than the green) 70
percent shade cloth (which was cheaper than the 50
percent??) was purchased and put up the next
weekend. With hubby, myself and some help from a
friend and her Japanese WWOOFer (Willing Workers
On Organic Farms) it all went up quite quickly, only the
corners being a bit tricky.
During the few weeks between working on the
framing, I have been changing the paths through the
garden, moving some small plants that were in the
way, to one long path going all the way around, in one
end and out the other, well nearly all the way, as one
end has well-established plants growing. Looking at
the framework of the poly tunnel, I see plenty of spots
to put up some hanging pots for veggies, strawberries
or flowers. What do you think, maybe just a couple to
start with? To fit the shade cloth on we had to cut
back two of our pistachio trees, the male (so many
bees buzzing around it at the moment) and one female
which has left the other female tree in the middle
‘court yard’ area of the garden and, as they are wind
pollinated, we may have to hang a branch of the male
into this tree. Thinking we will have a go at some
grafting on these trees next season.
I’m looking forward to planting in the newly shaded
garden, but of course that now depends on if we get
any rain. I said to hubby that we may have to cut back
on what we plant this season and he agreed saying
“Yes, maybe just two tomato plants” Well I just had to
laugh, “Who just plants two tomato plants!!”
Of course he didn’t know I already had sown six

Now some rain please.
punnets of different varieties, and they had all
germinated and were growing nicely. No, I can’t cut
back on tomatoes – but I know I will have to think
about what I will plant, because while I was watering
yesterday the water ran out!! It’s the first time since
we’ve been here that the garden tank (22,000lt) has
been empty – and hubby had already topped it up
from a spare tank before the end of last summer.
Taking a walk down to the dams, one was not as low
as we thought it would be, but still lower than what
we would like and the other is only a puddle. We use
this water for the orchard and I know there is still just
over a month of spring left, so am I being just a bit
impatient, will we get enough rain to fill them?
We have always gone into summer happy with the
dams and tanks full, but this summer may be a bit
different, we are even thinking (for the first time)
about buying some water in to top up the garden
tank, after all, what would I do with my time if there
was nothing growing in the garden? Thankfully the
house and firefighting tanks all still have plenty in
them.
Of course now, with this new cover over the garden,
we have to rethink the chook tractor - AGAIN!!
Peace, love and happiness
(hopefully with a splash of rain)

was established by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1994
to celebrate the role of teachers in society. World
Teachers' Day is held internationally on 5 October. As
the day usually falls during school holidays, Victoria
celebrates on the last Friday of October each year.
The day is a wonderful opportunity to draw public
attention to the important role of teachers in our
school.
This year, in Victoria we celebrate World Teacher's

THE
BETLEY
HALL
Vicky Frizzell’s article on Betley and her family’s
connection to it in last week’s edition was very
enjoyable, particularly to people who have lived here
for many years.
In the article Vicky mentioned the Mechanics Institute
Hall and that it had been refurbished. The photo (below
left) shows the state of the hall in 1998. That year the
committee of management, with assistance from
Central Goldfields Shire, obtained a grant from the State
government to repair the hall. The weather boards were
replaced with hardy plank, the stumps replaced, the
small entrance removed and a kitchen and toilet block
added.
Although contractors did a great deal of the work, the
members of the committee contributed many hours to
painting the interior, building kitchen cabinets and
completing other tasks. The Shire also assisted with
concrete and gravel paths plus the supply and planting
of trees and shrubs. The hall is pictured below and
above as it stands today.
The hall was reopened in 2002 with a community
concert enjoyed by a capacity crowd and followed by a
‘bring a plate’ supper; much the same happened in 1911
when the hall was first opened. Valmai Peart (nee
Elliot), who has always lived in Betley, can remember
the hall still being used for dances in the 1960s when
she played in the band.
Vicky’s article also mentioned the transported room
called Betley at the Dunolly Primary School. This was
the Betley School built in 1886 and closed in 1971; it
was used as a training centre and recreation camp
before being moved to Dunolly Primary School. Dave
Haden, (A Short History of Betley 1991) Valmai Peart
and her siblings attended the Betley School and their
parents were also ex-pupils.
At the time of its closure the school contained a very
large and ornate honour board listing the names of
past pupils and teachers of the Betley School who
served during the First World War. When the school
was transported to Dunolly this honour board was
removed and stored behind the stage in the hall. The
board, which is made from Blackwood timber, now has
pride of place in the refurbished hall.
Unfortunately the hall is very rarely used these days,
although it is available for hire and the committee of
management still meets there. Up until a couple of
years ago we were able to raise money by running
wood raffles, but the rules have changed and we are
no longer able to do this. The Shire still helps with
running costs each year; most of which is spent on
power and insurance bills. Hopefully, with the hall
being cared for by the committee, it won’t fall back
into its old state of disrepair any time soon.

MORTLOCK
HYDROPONICS
TO EXPAND
Mortlock Hydroponics
will complete a $2.2
million expansion of its
hydroponic
cherry
tomato
facility
at
Carisbrook, with the
support of the Victorian Government.
The expansion will double Mortlock’s glasshouse
capacity and create 25 new local jobs, injecting around
$1 million of additional wages and salaries into the
local economy.
Deputy Premier and Leader of the Nationals Peter Ryan
joined The Nationals candidate for Ripon Scott Turner
at Carisbrook on Thursday, 16 October, to announce
the Government’s $175,000 investment to support the
expansion.
Mr Ryan said the project would increase the current
greenhouse’s size from 15,000 square metres to 30,000
square metres, and would include the installation of
heating, irrigation, shade screens and fogging systems,
as well as a new tomato packaging and storage area.
‘This investment is a great show of strength for
Mortlock Hydroponics which has been growing
hydroponic tomatoes in the region since 1999’ Mr Ryan
said. ‘Doubling the size of the greenhouse will double
production of high quality local tomatoes, ensuring
more of this great Carisbrook product is on kitchen
tables right across Australia and eventually the world.
Mortlock Hydroponics Director Shane Mortlock and his
team is proud of the work they have done so far, and I
am proud to be here today alongside Shane and the
22 October 2014
team to announce this exciting expansion. Companies
like Mortlock are the drivers of growth in our regional
communities, with the work to be undertaken coming
as a real shot-in-the-arm for this region’.
Mr Turner welcomed the investment and said the
expansion of the packing shed would enable Mortlock
to grow its export potential and produce new varieties
of tomatoes for Australia’s shops and supermarkets.
‘One of the new varieties which could be grown is
similar to the Tasty Tom, which is individually packed
and marketed as a healthy snack for school lunches in
the Netherlands,’ Mr Turner said.
‘There is great potential for this style of tomato to be
grown here locally and sold right across the country.
With the right promotion there is even the chance that
these varieties may find their way into our kids’ school
lunch boxes as a healthy and tasty alternative to prepackaged snack foods. I congratulate Shane and the
team for their great work here at Carisbrook – they are
truly a great local success story.’
Ms Staley passed on her support and said it was the
second such investment from the Government to
support the growth of this great local food producer.
‘In 2013, the State Government invested funds to
enable Mortlock Hydroponics to build the 15,000
square metre facility, which created 20 new jobs,’ Ms
Staley said.
The company has done well to expand on this initial
investment and continue its rapid and strong growth.
The Mortlock Hydroponics expansion, in Carisbrook,
will be completed by the middle of next year.

LEADING FROM WITHIN
BUILDING RESILIENT
Do you reside in Bealiba, Carisbrook, Daisy Hill, Dunolly
or Talbot?
Do you feel that being prepared for a disaster is
extremely important?
Would you like to take part in a Community Led
Planning (CLP) process where you can work with other
like-minded people in your community to ensure you
know what to do in the case of an emergency?
The Leading From Within – Building Resilient
Communities project will see the five communities
listed above create a resilience plan focusing on
reducing the risk of a disaster. They will focus on what
a community can do before, during and after an
emergency.
To be successful in this approach we are seeking:
 Five Community leaders (one from each community)
to be trained to facilitate the CLP process.
 An additional 10 to 12 community members (in each
of the five communities) to participate in the CLP
process and in the creation of ‘plan’.
More information can be obtained by contacting
Raelene Williams at ARC Ventures on 5461 1394 or
email [email protected]
Consider the possibilities and how your involvement
will build community resilience and work to protect the
vulnerable people in your community.

The Red Hat ladies struck again with a weekend of fun
and frivolity at the Mercure Hotel in Geelong last week.
The theme was Mad Hatters Tea Party with a sub
theme of crazy hats and shoes. All the ladies were in
high spirits as they registered on the Saturday
afternoon, resplendent in their purple clothing and red
hats. They came from all over Victoria and were
approximately 80 strong. The Mercure Hotel buzzed
with their chatter and laughter. They were there to
have a good time and no-one was going to stop them.
The others guests good naturedly interacted with the
ladies, intrigued by the red and purple outfits and
what they signified. And to their questions we
answered: Red Hats signify that we are ladies of a
certain age who are a little bit crazy and just want to
have fun. This is what Red Hats is all about.
Charities and fun raisers are not on our agenda. This
time is simply for a good time.
That evening we dressed in cocktail outfits, weird and

The dinner was delicious, helped along by a few wines,
but it was the camaraderie and the sheer joy of life
that sustained us late into the night. We danced to our
heart’s content, albeit without male partners, but that
in itself was a blessing as we could be as mad as we
wanted.
The following morning was a pyjama party breakfast.
Imagine 80 odd woman dressed in purple or red
pyjamas, night hats a la Wee Willy Winkie, curlers, big
fluffy slippers, (one wearing sheepskins with kooky
rams heads on them) walking through reception of the
hotel with curious onlookers wondering what on earth
was going on. As we say in the Red Hats ‘It was a hoot.’
Top that off with a tour of some Op Shops on the way
where we bought out almost everything purple or red,
and you have a grand weekend.

MADMAN’S GULLY (Near McIntyre)
No one lives in Madman’s gully
the gold has long now gone
for the madness that now surrounds it
is standing still – alone.
The miners long have vanished
only dust white holes remain
now the scrub is taking over
to hide its scars and pain.
Or when the daylight hours creep
above each mullock heap
the fingers of the sunlight gleam
above the madman’s dream.
This place has lost its happiness
the diggers now are dead
and the songs of melancholy
waft in the gullies overhead.

Flood restoration works at the Bridgewater Public

end, with the official opening next Sunday 26 October.
Minister Peter Walsh will officially open the caravan
park and foreshore reserve at 1.00pm.
The community is invited to attend the celebrations

foreshore reserve. The two separate projects received
generous funding, with the foreshore project funded
through the Local Government Infrastructure Project
($100,000) and the Foundation for Rural and Regional
Renewal’s Percy Baxter Trust ($124,000), while the
caravan park received Flood Recovery Funding from
the Department of Primary Industries ($3.3 million).
Residents will benefit from the redevelopment, which
includes a family friendly environment and easy
access to water activities including swimming, fishing
and canoeing.

BOOST FOR PRESCHOOLS
Loddon Shire’s five Council-owned kindergartens
received a financial boost last month with the
announcement by Minister for Children and Early
Childhood Development Wendy Lovell of a state
government decision to increase the start-up and
annual grants for kindergarten cluster managers.
The Shire is cluster manager for Loddon’s
kindergartens, offering administrative, management
and program development support.
In Victoria, 56 cluster managers now oversee 855
community-based kindergartens, which account for 45
per cent of Victoria’s preschool enrolments.
The government’s annual grant has increased by 10%,
effective immediately, signifying an investment of $6.4
million over four years.
Council’s Early Years Coordinator Alycia O’Sullivan said
the announcement meant an extra estimated $600 a
year for Loddon.
“It’s a great help to our kindergartens, as it means less
money they have to find through their parent
committees to maintain and improve their centres,”
Ms O’Sullivan said.
