John Glover RFD – Wing Commander (Retd) in Lockington ANZAC

Easter Egg Hunt A fantastic day was had by all at Lockington's third Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal Easter Egg Hunt. With just under 100 chil-dren taking part in the

hunt, there wasn't a sad face anywhere. Especially when chocolate is in-volved. Kids enjoyed not just the chocolate, but also face painting, temporary tattoos, egg and spoon race and colouring in. A big hit with kids of all ages was the jelly eating competition, which had everyone in fits of laughter as kids tried to eat jelly, or pick out Skittles from the jelly, without using their hands. We raised a huge total of $2040! Thank you to all who came, from near and far, to support this fantastic cause! Also, thank you to our sponsors of the day: Helen's Takeaway, Lockington Post office, Snap Fitness Echuca, Echuca Para-mount Cinemas, Big W Echuca, Endota Spa Echuca, Beechworth Bakery, Coles Echuca and Woolworths Echuca. Remember, Lockington is now on the tally board for the Good Friday Appeal, so you can ring anytime on the day next year and donate on the day. Nicolce Cunnington, Area Manager.

Lockington Pauses For ANZAC Day.

John Glover RFD – Wing Commander (Retd), Rochester RSL sub branch President, stepped in at late notice to give the address at the service in the Community Centre conveying an apology from Major General Greg Garde. He stressed people need help to sur-vive to which all are entitled to – to be free from fear, to leave in peace. Remove fear from poverty, ill health, raise standard of living, make a spiritual stand, live together with hate. More than 102,000 Australians gave their lives in war and other operations over more than a century to give the full measure of freedom. Bruce A. Evans (1946) ... ‘teaches us all that friendship, honour and trust are the benchmarks needed to build a world free of hate and disunion’. Mr. Glov-er concluded, “Enjoy your freedom, your freedom today is your freedom tomorrow. School students were involved in the service with readings including the poem “Sir”, and the audio visual “You raise me up”. Above right: Colour party consists of local school students.

ST. DAVID’S ANGLICAN CHURCH MILLOO’S DOORS CLOSE

A full house gathered at St David’s Anglican Church Milloo on Sunday, 30

th April for her final

service and deconsecration. St David’s has been a part of the Milloo community since 1886 and many generations of local families have wor-shipped within her walls.

Phill Collins (pictured) welcomed those gathered on behalf of the local community, many of whom had made a journey of some distance to be there.

In his address, Rt. Rev. Andrew Curnow AM, Bishop of Bendigo, himself a former Rector of Milloo, paid tribute to those who had pioneered the church, giving something of a potted history

and sharing something of this own experiences of the St David’s congregation. He acknowledged the challenges facing rural church-es in our day and age. The gathered congregation were reassured that God has not abandoned us, and from the words of Mat-thew 6 that he will continue to provide for the needs of his people, albeit in different ways.

At the conclusion of the short service of evening prayer, a ‘Certificate of Deconsecration’ was read by the bishop, meaning St David’s is no longer set apart as a specifically designated place of worship for the Anglican church.

A resplendent afternoon tea was enjoyed in the Milloo Hall after the service and many memories shared and old friendships re-kindled. Many thanks to all who helped to make this day what it was, those who took part in the service, contributed to the afternoon tea, and travelled from other places to be there. Although it was in many ways a difficult occasion, we continue to trust that Jesus is keeping his promise to build his church (Matthew 16.18). The Parish of Rochester and Lockington, of which St David’s was a part, continues to meet at 9am (Holy Trinity Rochester) and 11am (St Mary’s Lockington) Sun-days. We’d love you to join us at one of these times. St David’s has been sold

to private purchasers with settlement due to occur mid-May.

Rev. Stuart Winn, Angli-can Parish of Rochester and Locking-ton.

60 Years Of Wedded

Bliss

Congratulations to former Bamawm residents, Kevin and Nell McAsey,

who recently celebrated 60 years of marriage, their Diamond wedding

anniversary, which accumulated four children, ten grandchildren, and six

great grandchildren.

Letter to the Editor Thank you and farewell

“Wal” and “Curl” What a surprise I got when I learned that Mandy “Wal” Walker was finishing up at Pentreath’s Supermarket. (Mind you Brendan and Leanne reckon she’ll be back!). I’m sorry I didn’t get to personally say thanks and good-bye. How can we cope without “Wal”? What she couldn’t do and didn’t know was nobody’s business. The good staff at Lockington Foodworks & Thriftylink continue to give good service, but I, that should be we I’m sure, will certainly miss her work ethics and personality. A very big thank you Mandy and all the very best for your future. Whilst on the subject of good-byes – a similar big thank you and good-bye must go to Lorraine “Curl” Low, our fruit and vegetables lady. With “Curl” there was always service with a smile, and she too knew the ‘run of the mill’. We wish you the very best Lorraine. Beryl Marshall.

Gemma Was Road Wise On Good Friday, and after travelling three hours from Wonga Park, Gemma was pleased to see the Lions Club of Lockington’s efforts with the “Driver Reviver” campaign. She was grateful for the refreshment break, and of course a laugh with ‘Tom’ Scurrah and ‘Jack’ Oli-ver, before starting her journey to Mou-lamein, about another three hours. Over

the Easter break members of the Lions Club served many people with refreshments, and saved their life and/or many others.

Lockington Consolidated School News

Lockington Consolidated School and Roches-ter Primary School Digital Literacy School Grants (DLSG)

Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies Lockington Consolidated School and Rochester Primary School are lucky enough to be successful in round one of the federal government ‘Digital Literacy School Grants’. They received the full amount of $50,000 to implement their pro-

ject. The pro-posed project builds on a strong pre-existing culture of the sharing of pedagogy be-tween the schools. The first year will consist of the creation of a

shared Scope and Sequence, acquisition of resources and the development of Units of Work that map the resources to meaningful lessons and assessment tasks to the Content Descriptions and Achievement Standards of The Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies. The second year will consist of the sharing of acquired knowledge and skills between staff and the review and re-finement of the Scope and Sequence, Units of Work and

assessment tasks. A Digital Technologies Leadership Team (DTLT) will be established lead by Sean Irving from Lockington Consolidated School. The DTLT will develop a shared Scope and Se-quence, ensuring

that all Digital Technologies Content Descriptions are taught and assessed within each band. The DTLT will assess a variety of physical resources, such as robots and software to purchase to en-gage their students in lessons that will help them achieve the Achieve-ment Standards at each level. These resources will be comple-mented by existing 1:1 iPad pro-grams. The DTLT will facilitate Pro-fessional Development with the teachers of both schools about the

Digital Technologies Curriculum and support them in building their own digital literacy. Teachers will become responsible for exploring the pur-chased resources and creating, assessing and refining Units of Work, including assessment rubrics. These will utilise the resources as tools to teach the learning outcomes of the Digital Technologies Curriculum. We had the pleasure of Damian Drum

our local Member of Parlia-ment visit LCS on Monday. He came to an-

nounce the Federal Government Digital technologies grant we received. Damien enjoyed a tour of the school which included a lesson on jolly phonics from the Preps, a Q&A session with grade 1/2 students and a digital technologies demonstration from some of our senior students. Cross Country - LCS held our annual school cross country on Friday. It was great to see every student have fun while being fit and ac-tive. The Preps did an outstanding job in their first cross country all running across the line with big smiles on their faces. Thank you to everyone in the community who spon-sored our children. The money raised will go towards our new playground. Congratulations I would like to congratu-late Jacob Johnson for graduating from LaTrobe University on Wednesday. Jacob attended his gradu-ation ceremony on Wednesday in Bendigo. ANZAC DAY Despite the weather we had a keen group of students attend and march at the Lockington ANZAC service on Tuesday morning. It is fantastic to see the younger generations of our community so interested in the ANZAC stories. I would like to thank Jenny Howlett who again put in a huge contribu-tion on behalf of our school producing a PowerPoint , organising our students and playing the keyboard. Campaspe Soccer Tourna-ment On Friday some students

from Grade 5/6 competed

at the Campaspe Soccer

Tournament. We had two

teams enter the tourna-

ment which was held at

Jack Eddy Oval in Moama.

Both teams displayed

manship and

Landscape Plan Guide A Landscape Plan Guide, to assist applicants in preparing better quality landscape plans as part of planning permit ap-plications, has been adopted. The new Landscape Plan Guide sets new standards that will ensure a more consistent approach by applicants and result in higher quality landscap-ing. Campaspe Mayor, Cr Adrian Weston, said the guide would improve the quality of landscapes constructed in residential, rural, commercial and industrial developments across the municipality. The guide has been prepared in partnership with Greater Shepparton and Moira councils, and the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority to establish consistent standards for the preparation of landscape plans, implemen-tation of landscape works and ongoing maintenance for new developments. It includes user-friendly templates and out-lines the process, requirements, landscape design consider-ations, landscape plan requirements, general materials, tech-niques and plant species required in landscape develop-ments. The full guide can be accessed on our website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/build/planning/forms-fees-and-resources/

Art Collection Items Identified for Deaccession Following an extensive assessment process, the Arts Collec-tion Panel, consisting of community and council representa-tives, has recommended a number of items from Campaspe Shire Council’s art collection for deaccession. The art collection, comprising of over 300 pieces, has been accumulated over many years as part of the council’s former Arts Acquisition Policy, and from gifts and donations.

In May 2016, council adopted the Arts and Culture Future Directions Paper which included a recommendation to com-mence a deaccession process. The purpose of the deacces-sion process is to build a recognisable art collection of great-er value that reflects the history and values of the Shire of Campaspe under the themes of indigenous art, rural life, Australian nature and contemporary art practice. Each item has been assessed against a set of criteria includ-ing relevance, quality and condition. Of the 232 pieces as-sessed, the Art Collection Panel recommended 73 items for deaccession. This initial deaccession process was expected to be significant and future deaccession will most likely occur due to the typical deterioration of pieces over time. A structured process will now be conducted to remove the pieces from the collection, commencing with offering the items to the artist, family or group, if known, from which the item originated. A list of the items being removed from the art collection can be found in attachment 6.3 of the Council agenda of 18 April 2017 on the council website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au.

COUNCIL PLAN 2017 - 2021 A draft Council Plan is now on display for public comment. The plan details key objectives and actions to be undertaken over the next four years. It also includes indicators and tar-gets that will be used to monitor progress. Supporting this document is the strategic Resource Plan which outlines the allocation of resources that will be needed to achieve these objectives. The document is available on the Shire of Campaspe web-site https://www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/council/have-your-say/open-for-comment/council-plan-2017-2021/ and at customer service centres. Any person wishing to make a written submission on the Council Plan must do so before 5.00pm on Wednesday, 24 May. All submissions will be considered in accordance with sec-tion 223 of the Local Government Act 1989. Submissions will be heard on Tuesday 30 May. After hearing submissions, Council will consider a motion to adopt the Council Plan at a Council meeting on Tuesday 6 June.

2017-18 BUDGET OPEN FOR COMMENT Members of the public are invited to make submissions on the draft 2017-18 Budget. The Budget can be found on Council’s website https://www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/council/have-your-say/open-for-comment/draft-2017-18-budget/ or hard copies are available for viewing from all customer ser-vice centres. Written submissions must be received by 5pm on Wednesday, 24 May 2017.

Peter Walsh, Member for Murray Plains Media release 2 May, 2017

Closure of Rochester’s Murray Goulburn factory

Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh said the closure of

the Murray Goulburn factory at Rochester is a devastating

blow for the town. MG announced today the Rochester

plant, which employs more than 150 people, will close in

March 2018. “Suppliers and local communities are living

with the consequences of decisions that were made by

those who have now left Murray Goulburn,” Mr. Walsh

said. “The dairy crisis has hit local producers hard and the

loss of more than 150 local jobs will be keenly felt in the

town.” The closure was announced by MG today, as was

a plan to ‘forgive’ the Milk Supply Support Package.

“Producers were already under pressure from average

seasonal conditions when the MSSP was introduced and

they have endured a huge amount of stress and financial

hardship as a result of it, “Mr. Walsh said. “In ‘forgiving’

the MSSP payments, Murray Goulburn has confirmed

what people have been saying since it was introduced –

that it wasn’t fair and it would cost Murray Goulburn milk

suppliers. The Andrews Government must ensure these

workers have jobs to go to when the plant closes.”

Students prepare to march to the ANZAC service with Tony McMahon and John Glover RFD - Wing Commander (Retd).

Mologa - Anzac Day 2017 Mologa Salutes our fallen, on a very soggy Anzac Day morning. The community of Mologa and district came to-gether to honour our soldiers who served in WW1 and WW2 and all the other wars that have been in the last 100 years, the guest speaker was Brigadier Steven Lee AM (retd.), he entered the Army (Royal Military College) in January 1983. Steven completed over thirty years’ service in the Australian Army serving in many locations through-out Australia and overseas. He served with both the Unit-ed States Army and the British Army on exchange, he was also an Exchange Officer at the U.S Army’s Signal Centre and for his service during that time he was award-ed the U.S Meritorious Service Medal. Steven also served in Rwanda, and as deputy chief of staff HQ Multinational Forces Iraq, for his service in Iraq, he was awarded the U.S Bronze Star Medal. Steven was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia

in the Military Division in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list 2012 for exceptional performance of duty. He retired from the Australian Defence force at the rank of Brigadier on 17 October 2014 after over 31 1/2 years of service. A light horse parade was conducted by Mrs. Dorothy Kaye of Mitiamo, the uniform was supplied by Paul Munro of Bendigo who also supplied mannequins with WW1 uni-forms and memorabilia. The saddle and accessories (lance, gun, and sword) plus all the uniforms were over 100 years old. Wreaths laying was carried out by School Children from Creek Street Bendigo, Pyramid Hill and St Pat’s College. The Bugler, Julie Boyer played the Last post, and Rouse for the Flag Raising. After the service and the train whistled through a Bar-B-Que was served and most of the visitors stayed on for a chat.

A soldier doesn’t fight because he hates what’s in front of him. He fights because he loves what he left behind.

Lockington Bowls Club Report 1/5/17

The club held a successful Presentation evening on Friday attracting a good number of members and guests.

Club President Tom Davis and Lady President Pauline Hum-bert welcomed all present and thanked the members for their support throughout the season of bowls. A special mention was made of the stirring victory by Division Four in winning the premiership over Moama and bringing the club their first premiership shield in eighteen years. Congratulations to all involved.

Humbert proceeded to present the trophies for season 2016/2017. Club champion: Leanne McInnes. Runner Up: Annette Brereton. 100 Up champion: Leanne McInnes. R/up: Lorraine Appleby. Alys Humbert Club Pairs: Annie Haines - Margaret Davis (s). R/up: Ann Lowrie - Lesla Maslen (s). The weekly voucher winners were rewarded with several ladies featuring on a regular basis.

In the men’s section the Club champion was Russ

ell Shawcross for the third time in a row. R/up: Don Isgro. 21 Up Presidents trophy: Graham Turner. R/up: Neil Haines. 100 Up Champion: Ray Hanson. R/up: Ken Main.

The gathering enjoyed a wonderful meal and sweets. At the completion of the trophy awards, Lady President Pauline Humbert proudly presented Club President Tom Davis with an amount of $10,000.00 from the ladies committee hard working effort. Davis responded in glowing terms thanking the ladies for their support and continue to measure the im-portance in being the backbone of the club.

It was pleasing to see Roly Head up and about after a period of treatment. The club also offered condolences to Ken Mathieson on the recent passing of his dear wife.

The club will continue to operate with the weekly Scrounge event to be played on this Wednesday at 1.00pm - weather permitting. Flat soled shoes and three bowls are required. Names to be listed by 12.45pm on the day. New and intend-ing bowlers most welcome - bowls are available.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 15th May at 8.00pm.

At the recent State Championships held at Bendigo East Bowling Club the Beddigo/Campaspe Region representatives were Margot Brennan (Moama) and Margaret Knight (s) from Rochester in the women's Pairs. Both women performed very well and combined to make the semi-finals of the cham-pionship. On day one they defeated a pair from Mulgrave 21-10 to open proceedings, then continued the true form to eliminate a Droman team 16-10 to gain a berth in the semi-finals against Kerri Leask and Mary Tragardh (Ovens & Mur-ray). In this game the local pair were in tremendous form to have their opponents under pressure. The shot making was near perfect to lead 13-10 at one stage and holding three shots before Tragadgh drew the absolute with her final bowl to reduce the leeway to 13-11. Both teams traded ends with the scores level at 16-all on the final end. Brennan and Knight held two shots before the opposition skipper Tragadgh drew a close bowl. With the final bowl to be deliv-ered by Knight, there was some conjecture as to who held shot. With an attempt to move her opponents bowl Knight

sadly pushed their own bowl out of the measure to lose 16-17. A great effort from both ladies. In the final Leask and Tragadgh defeated Gail Mc Kenzie - Lucy Dilli from Gipps-land 22-16.

The mens Triples championship featured the Bendigo East trio in Darren Burgess, David Keenan and Aaron Tomkins (s). In the first round the Bendigo/Campaspe team beat Mat-thew Higgins (Sale) 19-8. Round two resulted in a 19-12 vic-tory over Josh Sanders (Lilydale). This placed the team in the semi-finals where they met the Frank Seaton trio from Inverloch. Seaton and his team of Ron Burge and Wayne Park proved too strong in winning 20-12. In the final the In-verloch trio lost to Paul O'Donnell (Warrnambool) 16-17 in a very close encounter. The Rich River triples team consisting of Barbara Petch, Judy Vise and Virginia Noar (s) were pitted against the Joan Tennant trio from Ocean Grove in the first round. They put up a brave battle, only to lose the match 10-23. In the final Tristianna Doolan, Tayla Spence and Makayla Gibson (s) from Yarra won the title after defeating the Gipps-land team of Nola Wheeler, Gail McKenzie and Lucy Dalli 19-12.

The State Regional Sides Championship was held at Corowa Civic Bowling Club on the week-end. The Campaspe Valley Bowls Division was represented by Phillip Thorn (City of Echuca), Barry Brennan and Kevin Brennan (Moama), Barry Tinning (Tongala) and Ashley Vesty (Mathoura). Overall the bowlers performed well with Thorn leading brilliantly for the David Keenan rink, who was the best performed team for Bendigo/Campaspe finishing with 4 wins from seven games plus 30 shots. Tinning and Kevin Brennan played lead and second respectively for the Ryan Tainton rink and won two games and a tie to be minus one shot.

The remaining rink skipped by Darren Burgess included Bar-ry Brennan and Vesty. The team struggled as they won the one game but lost a couple by small margins to finish minus 32 shots over the seven games. Brennan and Vesty ap-peared to share the interchange bench over the week-end, but both played well when given the opportunity. The final of the championship was won by the Northern Gateway squad for the fourth time in the past five years. Northern Gateway defeated Sandbelt Region 47-25.

Details of Bendigo/Campaspe Region performances: Round 1. lost to Wimmera 29-37 (Keenan lost 9-10; Tainton 10-11; Burgess 10-16), Rnd 2. defeated Murray Mallee 39-25. (Keenan 10-8, Tainton 10-9, Burgess 19-8). Rnd 3. lost to Metro West 32-44. (Keenan 9-10, Tainton 16-11, Burgess 7-23). Rnd 4. defeated Peninsula Casy 36-28. (Keenan 15-4, Tainton 8-10, Burgess 13-14). Rnd 5. defeated Gippsland 38-23. (Keenan 23-4, Tainton 7-7, Burgess 8-12). Rnd 6. lost to Geelong 26-45. (Keenan 9-15, Tainton 12-13, Burgess 5-17). Rnd 7. lost to Sandbelt 34-35. (Keenan 12-6, Tainton 13-16, Burgess 9-13). In the final round the B/C Region went close to defeating the Sandbelt squad, but unfortunately one rink lost after leading 10-1 proceeded to drop a six, a four and a five over five ends to lose the game.

The Bowls Vic State Pennant championships will be held at the Moama Bowling Club on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week. Get along!
