allangatta came oh so close to
being crowned state champions of
the T20 Regional Bash at the MCG on
Thursday 25th Feb.
Watched on by a band of proud
supporters who had made the trip down
by bus, Tallangatta won the toss and

OH SO CLOSE
decided to bat.
The MCG put on the full show with
electronic scoreboard, ball by ball screen
coverage and replays. The only thing that
was missing was “ hot spot”, “snicko”
and “ball tracking”
Trent Ball (27) and Torquil Mckillop
(32) opened up for Tallangatta and took
the score to 52 before the first wicket fell.
Bear Allan earned a promotion to number
4 due to his excellent previous big bash
form and did not disappoint with the top
score of 33 before being run out.
All through the innings the very slick
Doutta Stars outfit gave nothing away, and
with tidy bowling and excellent ground
fielding managed to restrict the score to
6 for 123 although it was probably worth
more like 140 with the MCG starting to
transition to football mode with slightly
longer outfields.
In the field Tallangatta kept the pressure
on, but Doutta Stars, through their West
Indian Stars, seemed to keep hitting
boundaries at will, until Greg McGilvray
took a great catch off Thommo to remove
Parchment for 23. Bear then trapped
Ingram in front for 27 and the game
started to swing back to Tallangatta. At
the half way mark the asking rate was a
little over a run a ball, but tight bowling
from Mat Armstrong, and Bear saw the
rate gradually go up until with 4 overs
to go 32 runs were required. The next 3
overs from Sam , Mat and James were
very tidy and with one over to go Doutta
Stars still needed 15 runs. At this stage all
our supporters could smell victory. They
did not however count on Doutta Stars
opener Ben Speak who had played the
sheet anchor role and had been batting for
the entire 19 overs for 30 runs. He threw
caution to the wind and landed some
lusty blows to the point where 5 runs
were required to win off the final 2 balls.
He then played probably the shot of his
life on the second last ball to launch a six
over deep mid wicket to give the Doutta
Stars victory on the second last ball.
The disappointment amongst players
and supporters was palpable, especially
after being in a position where victory
seemed possible, even likely, but
everyone should be proud of the way
the boys played in getting to a point that
no one thought possible, after all its not
every day that a team from the bush gets
to play at the “G”.

tunnels done and we wish her a speedy
recovery.

Tallangatta’s Newest Aussie
THE WRECK OF
THE
“OLD PLEBISCITE”
Dedicated to a dear “Politician”
friend
A bureaucrat came from the snow and
the rain
To make his home on the Sunshine
Coast
Shrugged off being blind to his voters
hard bind
With such courage we’ll all drink a
toast
But this seafaring man had a nautical
plan
On treacherous seas, he knew little
fear
With strong passion, I quote, he bought
an old boat
That was leaning all over a pier.
So he toiled night and day, in some
dubious way
With the usual caulking and rub
Cleaning timbers and mould, his
ambitions grew bold
Vocaling Sea Shanties whilst in the
bath tub
By-passers remarked in nice fashions
of nark
How much work he achieved in such
time
While the decay was beating the
progress
Being a case of the blind leading blind.
With much money and visions of
grandeur
Finally the day of the launching was
here
With the Plimsoll line deep in the
water
Boarding this Captain who never knew
fear
While all dignitaries stood to attention
The champagne bottle smashed part of
the stern
Thus sending this hulk on its mission
Leaving a query of who would return.
Right: Barbara with Mayor,
Cr David Wortmann
n Tuesday 1 March 2016, Mrs
Barbara
McLarty
became
Tallangatta’s newest Australian citizen.
As a young mother, Barbara left
Birmingham England and arrived in
Fremantle in 1953. Together with her
husband they travelled to Kalgoorlie,
where they operated an electrical
business. After six years in the hot, dusty
desert Barbara then moved to Perth. She
met her second husband Ian in 1969,
married in 1971 and together they moved
to Tallangatta to take up the family farm
in 1985.
Barbara said “we didn’t know what we
were coming to, but it was such a surprise
- we have been here ever since”.
Barbara’s list of hobbies includes bowls,
cooking and punting on the horses. She
is a volunteer in Tallangatta’s Op Shop
advising that she loves her ‘day’ at the
Centre and being able to socialise with
the other volunteers as well as helping
local residents grab a bargain. Barbara
said farming in the Tallangatta district
has been one of the highlights of her life.
‘I’ve never seen such a beautiful place
and when the weir is ‘up’ the birdlife is
just fantastic’ she said.
O
The Noosa River so calm and so placid
Until reaching the wide open sea
The passengers knelt and prayed at the
anchor
Singing, “Nearer my God to Thee”.
One brave person still stood at the
railing
Crossed himself, praised God with his
thanks
Being sick over the side, he kept
shouting
Lord please tell me, “Who owns all
those planks?”

High Country Rail Trail Updates

Cement Blocks and Wood Piers
Celebrations
Volunteer members from the Bonegilla
and Tallangatta Rail Trail Advisory
groups organised a twilight ride on the
High Country Rail Trail to Ludlows
Reserve.
In near perfect riding conditions; fine
weather, cool breeze, clear blue sky that
gave way to a near full moon, forty -five
riders departed from either Wodonga or
Tallangatta to ride on the High Country
Rail Trail along the shores of Lake Hume
to meet at Ludlows Reserve to enjoy a
picnic evening meal.
The occasion was to celebrate the
completion of theAustralian Government’s
Department of infrastructure and Regional
Development Bonegilla boardwalk
across the Kiewa River flood plain and
the resurfacing of the trail between Huon
and Ludlows reserves.
The success of the event is dependent
on the work of the volunteers of each
group along with the support of the MJ’s
Bakery and Cavanagh’s Butchery. We
are appreciative of the support of MJ’s
Bakery and Cavanagh’s Butchery. Over
the years, both these businesses have
been very supportive of the many events
that we have organised to highlight and
promote the rail trail.

Towong Shire Council, is currently
undertaking the resealing of the trail
between the Mitta Mitta River Bridge and
the Sandy Creek Bridge. This upgrade is
in the high use section of the trail and
enhances the trail for all users; cyclists,
runners and walkers.
Working Bees
On going maintenance of the trail is
never ending. Many hours have been
spent spraying weeds and blackberry
bushes along the edges of the trail from
the Sandy Creek Bridge to the Shelley
station, along with many hours mowing
the edges of the trail from Old Tallangatta
to the Sandy Creek Bridge. Cleaning and
re-sealing of the wooden seats along
this section of the trail has also been
completed.
Bridge Restoration
Over the past few months, volunteers
have put in many hours to mill timber
to complete the restoration of the trestle
bridge across Dry Forest Creek at Bullioh.
The restoration work has been assisted
by TCM, Ewan Carkeek, Doug Burt and
DELWP. Most sections of the bridge
require replacing. As each section is

It was a bad, thundery day. Red
Riding Hood skipped along into
the dark and scary woods. She
chose the small, horrible path
and giggled as horrible black
birds scattered when they heard
her coming.
Little red Riding Hood hadn’t
been walking for long when she
heard a loud, screaming noise in
the mysterious trees. She looked
up and noticed something hard
and strong looking, behind the
beautiful, white, pine trees.
“Oh, it’s a scary path land
creature!” cried a spooky Little
Red Riding Hood.
She tiptoed fast and noisily up
to the hardly scented tree so as
not to frighten the enormous
wildlife. She peered around and
three was a fluffy monkey on
top of the enormous, white, pine
tree.
Albert
Little Red Riding Hood
walked into the spooky, dark
woods. She was spooked by
the skeleton birds and walked
past terrified.
She saw something behind a
pile of Jack-o-lanterns.
She approached the pile
of Jack-o-lanterns….. Out
jumped a werewolf and ate
her.

My favourite fairy tale is
Frozen because I can dress up
as Elsa.
I like the jungle book because
I like being a monkey and all
the animals. Logan
I really like frozen because
Elsa has powers and
Anna throws the carrots at
Christophe. Montanna
I like the Ugly duckling
dinosaur. Instead of a duck
you get dinosaurs because they
are cooler than ducks. T-Rex is
stuck with the ducks. Jack

I like Jack and the Bean Stalk

Eskdale Primary School News
Julie Butler, Principal
EPS students were very excited this
morning to open a huge box which
contained a set of lawn bowls equipment.
As part of Sporting Schools Victoria we
were eligible to apply for free lawn bowls
equipment. The package is fantastic and
the year 6 children are already planning
lunchtime activities around this. In the
past we have been invited by the Eskdale
Bowling Club to participate in a number
of sessions where the children were taught
how to bowl. So now with our own set
of lawn bowls,
the children can
practice what
they learnt.
E s k d a l e
Primary year 6 students are organising
lunchtime activities for the whole
school to participate in every Tuesday
and Thursday. Along with tried and true
games, they are introducing some Wilson
McCaskill games and now lawn bowls.
Left: We have been lucky enough to have the Peace Flame sculpture at Eskdale PS for the last
two weeks. We have thought about what it symbolises and have written our own messages of
peace to attach to it. Mrs. King will be collecting it soon to take to another school in the area.
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden
Our garden and kitchen classes
commenced last week. In garden the
children wrote some poems about
gardening and did a little bit of weeding
and harvesting the produce that has been
growing. In kitchen the children made
zucchini patties. The children will also be
using our excess produce to make jams
and relishes to sell at the school fete on
Easter Saturday.
Our new foundation students have a
love of all things that fly, crawl and hop
so the school has provided them with nets
and bug catchers which they put to good
use every break time. They have even
excited the interest of some of the older
students.
Tallangatta Valley Primary School
Splashes for Safety
I
t was a beautiful sunny morning
on the banks of the Murray River,
at Noreuil Park, Albury on Tuesday 2nd
February. Various schools came together
for the day to participate in “Play it Safe”
by the water.
Lifesaving Victoria is currently
promoting “Respect the River” campaign
and Tallangatta Valley Primary was
accepted into the OWLE (Open Water
Learning Experience) program.
While there were lots of splashes and
laughter, there was also a serious note to
the day. Students learnt about water and
Sunsmart safety from their group leader,
Bridget. She explained in detail to the
young students the topics for the day -
T

March long weekend is nearly
here and that means Showtime.
The annual Tallangatta Show, is a
wonderful event, where local children
can be involved and display their creative
skills. The students at Tallangatta Valley
Primary have been busy over the last few
weeks preparing various pieces. Sewing
machines have been buzzing, painted
rocks appearing, artwork and decorative
cooking. An extra special preparation has
also been taking place at the Wyeeboo
Hereford Stud in Tallangatta Valley.
The school students have been visiting
a working cattle farm. They have been
learning about the various aspects of
cattle preparation for the show’s judging
ring. Mr Brett Ried has been educating
the students about cattle handling and
Be Aware and Be Orepared, Everyday
Lifesaver, Survival and Rescue strategies
as well as Safe Body Boarding.
The hands on activities were a great way
to reinforce these important messages.
Bright pink rash vests with yellow life
jackets saw the children look the part, as
they floated down the river on surfboards.
It was a fun day where even parents and
grandparents learnt vital lifesaving skills
while watching the students having fun in
the water.
The OWLE Lifesaving day was a
good introduction to the schools summer
swimming program. During the month of
February the students at Tallangatta Valley
Primary have been attending swimming
lessons. They have been covering basic
water confidence, through to advanced
swimming techniques. The students are
attending lessons a few times a week,
where they are really enjoying their time
in the water.
Showtime
animal care.
The children were slightly hesitant
when they first approached the pens,
but when they saw the little calf with its
mother the ahhhh’s filled the shed. By the
second visit, the children were starting
to bond and feel connected to their new
friends. A lesson in the “wash bay” was
a great experience, with the students and
cow’s enjoying the brushing. Everyone
is looking forward to seeing the animals
look their best in the cattle pavilion on
show day.
Animal Husbandry projects, such as
this are wonderful opportunities for
young students to learn and be connected
to agriculture, while also supporting their
local country show.

Family fun, meet & greet night
Ellyssa Brennan
t our school, every face has a place
and this includes our families. I
was really reminded of how special our
TPS community is on Thursday 18th of
February when we held our family fun,
meet and greet session. We had over 100
people RSVP and the entire evening was
filled with smiles, laughter, and families
having fun together (even when they were
madly fanning a piece of tissue paper
across the hall with a paper plate!) I have
received nothing but positive feedback
of how much everyone enjoyed the
evening; from the short sharp classroom
presentations to the family fun games and
frivolity. Check out some of our photos!
A special thanks goes to our P&C who
manned the BBQ throughout the evening.
What is even more remarkable is that
they cooked 250 sausages and we ate the
lot between us! This is a great example of
how the P&C ‘gives something back’ to
our kids and our school community.

taff members gathered for afternoon
tea to say all the best to Dr Rizwan
Akhter who has been a permanent doctor
at Tallangatta Health Service for the last
two years.
Mrs. Cassie Lynch, Principal
W
e have had a wonderful start to
the school year with many things
to celebrate. We have welcomed three new
staff members this year, myself included.
With a new Principal and new teachers,
there is an air of change at St. Michael's
which is exciting to be a part of. In our
F/1/2 class we have our graduate teacher,
Mr Andrew Dear, working hard to settle in
our three foundation students and establish
relationships with our Grade 1/2s. In Grade
3/4, sharing the classroom with me is Mr
Nathanial Sariman who doubles as our
science teacher.
This year started with a bang as we
relaunched our Positive Behaviour
Intervention Support program throughout
the school and the children at St. Michael's
are very excited to see this return. At St.
Michael’s we have three very important
school rules:
I respect myself. I respect others. I
respect the school environment.
All students are feeling hopeful about
the future and have settled well into the
routine of school. The students are loving
the positive elements we have re-added to
the school and have been earning rewards
for positive attitudes towards learning,
sportsmanship and demonstrating respect to
others. In recent weeks, we have welcomed
3 new students to our school who have
settled well into our routines.
The students contine to be our focus as
a locum doctor appointed.
We will endeavour to meet your needs
as much as possible, until we are able to
source a replacement doctor.
For further information and updates,
please phone the Medical Centre on 6071
5270.
Lisa Allen
Acting CEO
Dr Rizwan resigned recently due to
personal circumstances and is heading off
with his family to work in Melbourne.
Staff members wish him all the best for
his future endeavours.
we go from strength to strength. Below are
some candid responses from kids about
why they love their school!
HOW HAS PBIS CHANGED THE
SCHOOL THIS YEAR?
People like the rule changes and they
are following the rules properly. They are
respecting the rules and they get a PBIS
token for doing it. The new rule about back
chatting is helping kids learn a lesson. Class
dojo helps people to learn better and respect
other people. Tilly
There are more ways to get PBIS tokens.
I like that we have a rule in 5/6 that if you
get 10 classdojo points in a day you get a
PBIS token. Jake
I like how people are not sticky beaking
into other kids business. Students are
respecting others and minding their own
business. Nelly
I like how when teachers were talking
about kids zipping their lips in learning
time kids are now doing it. Kids are now
zipping their lips rather than arguing during
playtime as well. Tahlee
WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS
ABOUT ST. MICHAEL’S
PRIMARY SCHOOL?
People respect the school environment
and respect others. They welcome others to
play games. Tilly
The teachers are the best thing about our
school. Jake
How the teachers are teaching people
how to be nice. Tahlee
We don’t have bullying. Nelly

Baird
government has
been criticised
by the opposition
last week due to
its legalisation of
eyeball tattooing
in NSW.
What is eyeball tattooing you might be
wondering?
Eyeball tattooing, corneal tattooing or
eyeball inking is a fairly new procedure
in Australia which is gaining increasing
acceptance into our popular culture. It
involves injecting the whites of the eyes
or sclera with coloured dye or dyes.
Opposition health spokesman Walt
Secord believes that it is a dangerous
procedure and should not be regulated;
it should be outright banned as it has
been in some parts of America and other
countries. Mr Secord reports that there
are currently 20 cases of eyeball tattooing
in NSW alone – not accounting for the
numerous amounts of people that travel
overseas to have the procedure.
Luke Arundel -an optometrist- discusses
the risks of having such a procedure:
- Infections associated with the injection
(as it takes multiple injections in the site
to have the procedure done)
- Blindness
- Permanent discolouring and “black
eye” as the ink can transfer to the other
tissues
There may be longer term complications
that have not been studied as it is a fairly
new procedure.
As with any procedure it is important
to have knowledge of the risks associated
with it before you carry out the procedure,
as well as making sure if it is a tattooist
they are licensed with NSW Fair Trading.

Mountain Cattlemen’s Association
Victoria Annual Get together 2016
Janine Gillick UMHA Secretary
n January each year the Mountain
Cattlemen get together for a
celebration of their heritage and skills.
This year it was held in Merrijig at the
Rodeo and Campdraft grounds.
There is a strong representation of
Upper Murray Horsemen’s Association
members participating in many of the
activities. The Olsson’s and Forge’s
have been participating for many years,
with the younger generation now taking
the lead. Then there’s Christine English
with a strong association with the poetry
competition from her father and renowned
bush poet, Don Kneebone.
The pack horse race this year had some
extra starters as well, with Michael Palmer
and Sven Koljo lining up for a crack. The
threat was obviously too much for Dave
Olsson and Graham Forge with both of
them being non-starters. Well, there
was some story about Ian being crook
and Dave has “retired”, but I think we
can all see through those smoke screens!
The double threat was obviously just too
much, but more about that later.
Let’s talk about the juniors first. Their
competition is run along the same lines
as the seniors with a series of horse skills
they must progress through before they
can compete in the final Cup race. Tahnee
Olsson entered in the junior cattlemen’s
competition along with former UMHA
member (and last year’s winner) Kelsey
I
Lupson. The skills on display certainly
showed these kids take this competition
seriously. The final race on Sunday was
a nail-biter and when all the points were
tallied up, Tahnee had come a credible
second and Kelsey had another cup under
her belt.
The packhorse race involves speed
and skill, with the competitors starting at
one end of the arena holding their riding
horse. They must lead it to their saddle in
the middle of the arena, saddle up then
ride to where their pack horse is being
held at the other end of the arena. There
are a number of items that must be packed
evenly and securely. After negotiating
a predetermined course across the face
of the hill, where their pack horse must
keep to no more than a trot, the packs
are unloaded and assessed by the panel
of judges. The winner is the competitor
who is not only the fastest but has the
best presented pack with no broken eggs
or dinted cans.
On Saturday afternoon, the junior
packhorse race was held, and although
not a large field, it’s great to see young
people carrying on a very old skill. After
a great competition Tahnee Olsson was
victorious taking out the first prize.
On the Sunday morning in the main
arena, there was a fabulous re-enactment
of the story of the opening of the mountains
by the first settlers, the gold seekers and
finally the Mountain families, many
of which are still there today. The reenactment included a display by a Light
Horsemen History Group, including a
rifle firing demonstration.
The Wally Ryder Walking Race was
one of the first events in the morning
with member Terry Moore and his big
gorgeous clydie-cross coming in fifth.
Next up was the Ladies packhorse race
with a great representation from UMHA
with the fiercely competitive Forge
sisters, Ellen and Tuppy, and newcomer
to the sport, Tamarine Tuesley. A really
amazing display of skill, attention to detail
and speed was displayed, with the race
back between Ellen and Tuppy separated
by seconds. After the judges assessment
Ellen was declared the winner, while
Tuppy was awarded the neatest pack.
Finally we come to the highly
anticipated Open packhorse event with
Sven Koljo, Michael Palmer and Mitchell
Ward competing and right from the getgo the competition was hot. There’s
no doubt that this year the cream really
rose to the top with Mitchell putting on a
precise and polished display and leading
the horde home. In a great credit to both
Sven and Michael they were awarded
third and fourth respectively, a great
effort for their first competitive event. I
don’t actually think the smiles have left
their faces yet (I know Sven’s hasn’t).
The really nice touch is brother and sister
combo taking out the first place in each
packhorse event.
After that there was some hoo haa
about the Open Cattlemen’s Cup final
race being run. Man-O-Man, when you
see those guys take off and go flying up
the hills, negotiating gates, jumps, water
sprays and obstacles your heart is in your
mouth. The winner of the race and the
overall winner for the second year in a
row was Brett Lancaster. Another UMHA
member, Haley Hinton had also entered
but unfortunately didn’t qualify for the
final event. Wow can this club produce
some talented horse people, or what?
The Cattlemen’s Get-together is a
great event showcasing so many skills
and traditions from people on the land
and interesting displays. You can see
whip-cracking, hear music and poetry,
see historical displays, indulge in some
shopping therapy, cheer on the dog jump,
see the heavy horses working and dance
the nights away. The 2017 event will be
held in Buchan in East Gippsland and
if you have the chance I can thoroughly
recommend you attend. Who knows
Sven and Michael may even be able to
convince Dave to get back in the fray!
If anyone is interested in knowing more
about the Upper Murray Horsemen’s
Association please visit our website at
www.umhahorseclub.asn.au. It’s a great
family orientated club which offers
members many different activities.

his year our club welcomed a new
President, Tim Vuarchoz. In his
first year as President Tim has had some
success with the Georges Creek Grubs
winning the Section 2 championship.
On the court the club entered 6 teams
into the competition. Section 1- was
lead by Patty Wernert who once again
organized a very young side. However,
despite their lack of years they proved a
very competitive side and played against
the experienced Talgarno team in the semi
final. They were unable to overcome the
Talgarno side and lost in a tight contest. It
was the same result as the previous season,
however the team is still brimming with
confidence and enthusiasm and hope next
year they can make it past the semi final
stage.
In Section 2 we were represented by
GC Yabbies, and GC Grubs. The Yabbies
also had a number of young players who
will be better placed next year after a
season in Section 2. The Grubs once again
represented the club in the grand final
and overcame the Upper Gundowring
team who they had not played during the
competition. The Grubs again consisted
of the Webb, Pleming and Hanley
families but welcomed new members in
Shelley, Bess and Jane. They were a very
consistent team and didn’t lose a match all
season. Thank you to Lance and Wendy
for organizing the Grubs.
In Section 3 we welcomed Amy Wood
and John Reynolds from the section 4
grade. They were mentored by Archie,
Ned and Hamish. Their leader Joe Quinn
felt the team improved each week and even
though they didn’t win many games were
competitive. The Section 3 competition
displays a high standard of tennis. With

play and shot selection. Georges Creek
have had a number of players advance
from this competition to become talented
tennis players, as is evident of our Section
1 team. Thank you to Joe for organizing
this team.
In section 4 we had GC Kookaburras
and Matildas. These teams showed
improvement every week and had lots
of fun. Thanks again to Estelle Star for
organizing one team, and to new captain
Anita Reynolds who did a great job with
the other team.
Our coaching program was again
successfully completed. Margaret Court
supplied an experienced coach and was
ably assisted by Max McKimmie, Patty
Wernert and Nick Harding. Again it is
very rewarding to see our young club
members putting something back into the
club. Thank you to you all.
Each year the club presents a section 3
and 4 award at our presentation break up.
This year we introduced a new format,
with a fast4 tennis day involving adults
and children finishing off the season.
All tennis was played in a fun, (hot) and
enjoyable atmosphere with no family
conflict.
The Star Family this year donated the
Encouragement trophy for the Section 4
players. This award is given to a player
who is a positive role model to his/
her team, and shows enthusiasm and
enjoyment of the game. This year’s
winners were Caleb Reynolds and Nikita
Cassidy.
The Section 3 award is donated by
the Wernert and McKimmie families.
This award is for players who have
shown continual development in their
game, and have risen to the challenge
of incorporating singles matches into
their tennis. This year the winners were
John Reynolds and Amy Wood. Many of
the previous winners of this award now
represent our club in Section 1.
Congratulations to all teams, players,
and award winners.

At this stage a score of 20 or less seemed
possible. Nic Wood and Mat Armstrong
then dug in for a while for a partnership
of 39 before they both departed to
leave Tallangatta 6 for 52 and still in a
whole lot of trouble. A Partnership of
44 between Nathan Thompson (27) and
James Weighell saw Tallangatta reach 7
for 96 before the crucial partnership of
the match gave Tallangatta a sporting
chance. Ned McCormack (48) and James
Weighell smashed 87 for the 9th wicket.
James then added a further 34 for the
last wicket with Steve Wood (3) to give
Tallangatta 223, thanks to a magnificent
93 not out from James.
Tallangatta then started its defence
in the most magnificent way possible
having Lavington 3 for 1. But as with the
Tallangatta innings after the shine went
off the ball Lavington gradually worked
their way back into the game and although
losing regular wickets they worked their
way to 8 for 133. A further 27 runs before
they next wicket saw nerves start to fray,
before at 180 Steve Wood drew a snick to
the keeper and the match was over. James
Weighell showed every spectator why the
club values him so much with a superb 6
for 41 off 19 overs.
Next week sees Tallangatta at home to
Belvoir
This left East Albury to make 54 for
outright victory which they got, but with
a few flutters after Jacob Schmidt and
Jaydn Chalmers took 3 wickets apiece.
TCM Cricket Report
A GRADE
After the disappointment of the T20
Bash, Tallangatta got back to business to
account for East Albury and storm into
finals contention by finishing on top of the
very tight competition. Tallangatta batted
first and welcomed back to form Torquil
McKillop who made 140 and along the
way shared partnerships with most other
batsmen. Other contributions came from
Greg McGilvray (30), Nathan Thompson
(31), Mat Armstrong (45) and Bear Allan
(36 n.o.). This enabled Tallangatta to
reach 9/357
This was always going to be too much
for East after they slumped to 5 for 72,
but a 185 run partnership ensured that
Tallangatta spent the whole day in the
field, with East Albury finishing on 8
for 304 off their allotted overs. James
Weighell did most of the early damage
with 3 for 52.
Semi Final v Lavington
Tallangatta batted first and found
themselves in extreme trouble at 4 for 4.
C GRADE DIV 3
A loss to Kiewa saw Tallangatta
finish 3rd and set up a semi final against
Baranduda. Batting first Tallangatta
made a fine 7 for 237. Dave Avery set
the innings up with a fine 76 before
Daniel Bond (55) and Jon Thomas (31)
capitalised later. Tallangattas bowlers did
not let the chance slip and all bowled well
to dismiss Baranduda for 158. 2 wickets
apiece went to Lucan Burns, Jake Hill,
Harrison Drummond and Jonty Thomas.
This will see they boys playing in the
grand final again next Saturday
UNDER 16
In the final round, Tallangatta made 5
for 177 before dismissing East Albury for
89. This was enough to see them finish
second and set up a match against St Pats
Green. In bowling first, Tallangatta did
OK to restrict St Pats to 6 for 150, but
when batting lost the plot and only made
44. Disappointing end to the season.

B Grade finished their most improved

chance in this match with a catastrophic
collapse of 8 for 22 before Jaydn
Chalmers (18) managed to get them to
45. East Albury knocked up 3 for 128
before asking Tallangatta to bat again.
The second dig was much better with
Curtis Stephens, Troy Hawkins, Paddy

getting into their twenties and allowing
Tallangatta to reach 137 off 66 overs.

In the aftermath of the recent Indigo Valley
bushfires, the Kiewa-Tangam Lions Club
took on a project to help an affected farmer
to repair the several kilometres of damaged
fences on his property. Working under the
umbrella of Blaze Aid, two teams of Lions
members spent a weekend clearing burnt
and fallen trees and branches from the fences,
pulling out the burnt wire and netting and
removing the damaged fence posts. Much
of this work was done in very steep country,
so a special mention needs to be given to
Lion Max Dunlop who provided his truck
and tractor for the weekend, which certainly
made the job easier, meaning that more could
be achieved. The Lions members worked
well as a team and achieved more in the two
days than the farmer thought possible.
The fencing job was quite urgent because
after the fire there was an immediate lack of
feed for stock especially in paddocks with
secure fencing. Having the Lions volunteers
to come in and get the area ready to be refenced was a real relief for the farmer, who
had been struggling to do this work by
himself with just family to help. Once the
Erik Thompson hard at it
Lions had finished, he was able to arrange
fencing contractors to come in and erect new
fences, ready for the stock.
The Lions members were only too willing
to help with this project and all who gave
their time were happy to do so and proud
of their efforts. The farmer was very grateful
and could only imagine how long it would
have taken him to do the same amount of
work on his own. Well done Kiewa-Tangam
Lions!

The Tangambalanga General Store (aka
The Top Shop) has new lease-holders. After
nearly ten years of service to the Kiewa/
Tangambalanga community, the Hughson
family has decided to call it a day. We wish
them well in the next phase of their lives and
thank them for their contribution to our
community.
So the baton has been passed on to the
Cooke family, who have begun their tenure
enthusiastically, offering good service, a
range of quality food and a smiling face to
boot.
Having lived in the area for a number
of years, the family believes they have a
great knowledge and understanding of the
people who live here. Kristie was born here

A Proud Achievement
For A Local Girl
Growing up in Kiewa,
the thought of even going
to university may have
seemed far- fetched to
Elizabeth Dunlop, but
after many years of hard
work and dedication,
the CSU graduate was
awarded something she
only imagined possible
– her PhD. Elizabeth’s
research investigated how
consumers attribute responsibility to firms
that have been unethical, including in cases
such as animal testing and child labour.
During her studies,
Elizabeth lectured in
China for CSU and
helped run a business
school in Uganda,
which contributed to
the confidence she
needed to fulfill her
goal. Parents, Max and
Carol, are extremely
proud
of
their
daughter’s achievements as is the KiewaTangambalanga community, who also played
its part in her upbringing. Congratulations
Elizabeth!

30 Year Reunion
The Photo were taken at the Wodonga
High School 30 Year reunion (Class of 80
to 85) held last November. The six people in
the photo went to Kiewa Valley Consolidated
Primary School (between 1973 and 1979)
and then Wodonga High School (between
1980 and 85).
In order they are: Michael Smith, Louise
Bowran (Seymour), Matt Baker,
Tracey Jarvis-Ball, Peter Lutton
and Geoff Rolfe. A number
of other Kiewa Primary/
Wodonga High students from
this year level were unable to
attend the reunion including
Anne Clayton (Rowe), Kerrie
McGrath and Elyssa Rutherford
(Schliebs).
The reunion was held at
St.lves Hotel on the Lincoln
Causeway, Wodonga and was fantastic
success. Over 80 people, including a couple
of our old school teachers attended. Many
people, now living overseas and interstate,
travelled long distances to reacquaint with
old school mates – many who had lost touch
or hadn’t seen each since leaving school.

Do You Know?
Do you know what a ratite or tinamous is?
They are the living representatives of the
order struthionifrormes. All birds large or
small in this order are flightless. They have a
flat sternum (breastbone) without the keel
like most flying birds. The largest in this
species are the Ostrich, Emu, Cassowary and
Rheas. The small birds in this species
are the Kiwi of New Zealand.
Research on flightless birds indicates
the flightless condition evolved in the
absence of predators.
Ratites are different from flying birds
in that they needed to adapt or evolve
certain features to protect their young;
they have thicker shells, and the young
can walk or run soon after hatching.
Ratite chicks are capable of swimming
and even diving.
Ostriches are the only ratites that involve
the female in incubation duties.
Generally ratites are herbivores however
they will eat insects if the opportunity
arises.

New Student Representative Council
Leadership
is
an
important role in any
organisation and it is no different in a school
situation. There is the principal, teachers and
at Kiewa Valley Primary School, we have a
new set of leaders in the form of 6 grade six
girls who make up the new S.R.C ( Student
Representative Council) . The six students
had to deliver a speech to the grade 5 /
6 classes to convince their audience to
vote for them to be their S.R.Cs for first
semester.
Paris, Lilly, Evie, Madison, Jorgi and
Sammi are to be commended on, not only
their confident speeches, but on the way
they have conducted themselves already
this year. They have organised and run
Monday morning assemblies and have
helped in the canteen on lolly days. The
girls have attended an S.R.C. meeting
and have worked collectively planning a

possible fund raiser activity to be held before
the end of term 1.
They certainly have taken their role
seriously up to this point and have been
excellent role models for the younger
students at the school. There are certainly
signs of future leaders here in a small group
of students.

Trees Talk
Firewise tree choices
During the peak of the summer bushfire
season, we’re well aware of risks, especially
after the recent Indigo Valley fires. On days
of extreme fire danger, of course anything
flammable may burn, but since trees have
highly variable structure, leaf and bark types,
are there any useful guidelines for choosing
plants - information which might minimize
the risk of going up quickly in flames?
A good resource is the CFA’s “Landscaping
for Bushfire.” This talks about differences
between fire resistant, fire retardant and
firewise trees.
Fire resistant trees survive being burnt and
will regrow after a bushfire. They are resistant
to being killed by a bushfire, but not to being
burnt. So, they may be highly flammable and
inappropriate for a garden in a high bushfire
risk area.
Fire retardant can also be misleading – it
implies that a plant will not burn readily or
may slow the passage of a fire, but - all plants
will burn under the right conditions.
Firewise is part of a flammability ranking
system, helpful in selecting plants. The CFA
link gives useful ways in which to choose
firewise trees for your property.
For example, some Eucalypts, Corymbias
and Angophoras have woolly fibrous bark
(stringy bark), deeply corrugated and
dense bark (iron bark), or ‘chippy’ or platy
bark (box bark) which can be extremely
flammable. Their bark acts as a ladder carrying
fire into the canopy of the tree and produces
masses of embers. Not a good choice – not
so firewise! Correctly selected and located
trees can reduce wind speed, absorb radiant
heat and filter embers. Given the wide range
of beautiful trees to choose from, selecting
those with a looser structure and smooth
trunks, and thinking carefully about where
to plant them in relation to buildings could
be a lifesaver. By under-pruning them up to 2
metres and by removing dead branches and
debris caught in the foliage, keeping grass
mown down and leaf litter to a minimum,
you can achieve a fire-wiser environment.

Kiewa Cricket Club News and Update.
Proudly sponsored by `Jacksons Earth Moving`
G’day again everyone from the `Cranky
Curator`, with the penultimate rambling for
the year from the Kiewa Cricket Club.
Before I get going on our cricket club
side of things, I would to use this space to
congratulate the Tallangatta Cricket Club on
making the final of the country BBL (T20)
played at the`G`, unfortunately just going
down in a great game of cricket. Well done
to all involved.
It is with pleasure that I can say that Kiewa
has all four of our senior sides (A,B, C2 and
C3) plus under 14`s in the finals, a fantastic
achievement for the club and its supporters.
Final ladder positions leading into semi finals
: A grade 3rd, B grade 1st, Div 2 C`s 6th,
Div 3 C`s 1st, and under 14`s 1st. Go get ‘em
fellas and how good would it be to have FIVE
NEW flags sitting in the cabinet?
Keep an eye on the special achievers’
(batting and bowling awards) list at this
year’s league presentation night, there could
be a fair bit of silverware heading to the `Tiny
Tangam
Little Shed` that is our home base.
Unless you have been living under a rock
you would have heard about the great talent
that is our `Rhyno` (Ryan DeVries), who
has achieved a very, very rare feat in any level
of cricket by taking 50 or more wickets in a
single season. With finals yet to be played, this
young fella could set all kinds of records, so
if you have the time and/or the opportunity
to come to Kiewa during the finals and have
a look at this bloke go about his business, I
don’t think you will be disappointed.
It is very pleasing to announce that the
Granny is to played at Kiewa again this
year for the `A` grade so thank you to the
helpers at the club for their efforts to get this
happening two years in a row.
On a very sad note we would like to pass on
our condolences to the Birrell family on the
passing of their much loved and respected
husband and father, Bruce.
Until next issue `HOWZAT` from the
Cranky Curator
IENNIS Talk
Season 2015-16 has now come to a close
with mixed success for the club. Section 1 just
missed out on a place in the finals, finishing
up 5th on the ladder. With a reasonably
young side (and some not so young!) it
was encouraging to see the improvement
throughout the year and some wins under
their belt. Hopefully next year they will be
back bigger and better.
Section 2 finished third on the ladder and
met Georges Creek Grubs in the cut throat
semi-final, played at the lovely setting in
Tallangatta. Having only come up against
Grubs once during the season and very early
on (round 2) it was a bit like diving in to
unknown waters. Dawn and Helen started
off the ladies’ attack, but could only manage
2 games, whilst on the other court Adam &
Jock had a thorough tennis lesson (against a
couple of very experienced players mind you)
and (as they would say in cricket) “scored a
duck”! However Jock & Joe turned it round
with a good win in the next men’s set, but
the third one saw an unfortunate injury to
Joe and the boys limped in to go 8-5 down.
Meanwhile the ladies had picked up their
game, with Dawn and Shelley having a good
win and then Helen and Shelley coming off
winners in a very even set.
Going in to the mixed doubles it was an
even 3 sets apiece with 3 sets to go – could
they hang on? Helen and Joe couldn’t break
through in their set, which meant they
needed to win both of the last 2 sets. Shelley
and Riley (who came in to the side after Joe’s
injury) had a comfortable win, then Dawn &
Adam – although they had an awesome set
with some very good tennis from both teams
– couldn’t break through the opposition and
after a great day of tennis they went down 5
sets to 4 and 48 games to 36.
Well done to all, Section 2 also had quite
a young side (hmm – the ladies did bring
the average age up just a bit!), and it was a
relatively new team. Thanks to the boys who
travelled over from Yack each week, you were
a joy to play with, hope we see you back next
year.
By the time we go to press, the association
grand finals will have been played and won.
Tangam is the host club this year for the
grand finals in all sections. A report of the
winners will be in the next gazette.
So, for now the tennis season is pretty
much at a close. Anyone out there who would
like to play tennis and is looking for a way to
meet people, have fun and keep fit all at the
one time, think about joining our club next
season, you will be made most welcome.
Good hitting to all.
Kiewa Valley Primary School
has been lucky enough to
secure funding from Sporting
Schools Australia for term 1 and 2 this year.
Sporting Schools Australia is a fantastic
government initiative designed to increase
student participation in sport and to connect
children with community sport.
For term 1, we have chosen to allocate
our funding to an athletics program offered
by Athletics Australia. Over five weeks
our students will get the opportunity to
participate in athletics sessions run by
accredited coaches Alex and Clive, at our
school. The program promises to be a highly
engaging introduction to the key skills of
Archie jumping hurdles
various athletic sports, including correct
running technique, hurdles, triple
jump and javelin. The coaches
conduct fun games and activities
which contain facets of different
athletics skills whilst teaching the
correct method to perform the
activities. Our students are looking
forward to the coming weeks and
will be very well prepared for our
school athletics sports which will
be held early in term 2.

SUNDAY APRIL 17th 2016, 10 am
Before the winter warmth starts to develop
around our waist, why not consider being
part of the 5th MILK RUN Family Walk or
Run ? The Milk Run is the brainchild of the
Kiewa/Tangam Lions Club and is supported
by Indigo Shire, Murray Goulburn and the
High Country Rail Trail. There are TWO
options on the day – either a 6km or 10km
course along the Rail Trail over the Sandy
Creek Bridge starting at the picturesque
Huon Reserve. Despite the weir slowly
receding, the views along the course remain
sensational and will be complemented with
a coffee, sausage in bread or flavoured milk
in hand post run or walk. At only $10 entry
for individuals and $20 for families, the Milk
Run is amongst the best value event going
around. There will also be loads of spot
prizes on the day.
