Amidst a backdrop of growing reports of an obesity epidemic in Australia, the West Wim-mera Children have been active in October, with a number of initiatives to improve exercise and eat-ing choices.
On Thursday, Eden-hope College hosted a ‘Healthy Living Day’.
Parents of F-6 students were invited to join the session on healthy lunch boxes and ‘nude food’ lunch boxes.
Organiser Emma For-ster said, “We are hoping this day will encourage our students to lead healthy lives, which can hopefully begin at home and at school.”
St. Malachy’s Primary School also celebrated with ‘nude food’.
On Friday the students of both schools walked to school, before the F- Grade 1 students all trav-elled to Apsley to join with Goroke P-12 Col-lege and Apsley Primary School in a tabloid sports day.
As well as children who participated in Satur-day sport, Sunday offered a chance to either run around Lake Wallace or participate in a supervised obstacle course in the Edenhope Stadium.
All this exercise and
healthy eating will reduce the student’s chances of developing Type 2 Diabe-tes and other preventable diseases.
If your children come home asking to ‘go nude’ you can rest assured they are talking about improv-ing your dietary choices.

Late, breaking news - Wimmera highway smashAround 5.30pm on Tuesday 20
October, a fi ery scene erupted when, a single vehicle collided with two trees and burst into fl ames on the Wimmera Highway, near the Edenhope-Langkoop Road intersection.
According to Leading Senior Constable Julie Bruce, the car veered off the road, over-corrected and then collided with the trees. A female driver and her 5yo in the back, were rescued by passersby prior to police arrival. The occupants, extensively bruised, were taken to Horsham hospital for further examinations.

Tamika Sewell has continued to rise in the high stakes world of teen-age fashion design.
In what is becoming a regular feature of Advo-cate page 2, Tamika has once again taken out top state awards for her imagi-native, thought provoking and immaculately pre-sented fashion wear.
You may remember a preview of one of Tami-ka’s dresses for compe-tition in the Advocate (23.9.15).
Tamika won the Calico Category in the Y11/12 section of the Fashion Awards Australia.
Tamika took home a trophy and $250.
“I entered six gar-ments all up, however this one was the only one that gained a prize as there were a huge amount of entrants,” said Tamika.
According to their website, Fashion Awards Australia (FAA), “is an exciting presentation of fashion design staged annually in Melbourne.
“Ultimately, the awards aim to give recognition to and help in the educa-tion and development of students in the textile and fashion departments of the Secondary and TAFE Colleges, promoting their work along side new and emerging designers in the fashion industry.
Tamika’s remains in the running for the APEX Australia Fashion Awards National title in the For-mal Wear category on 24 October.
Ex-pat, milliner, Neil Grigg has sent well wishes to Tamika saying, “Big congratulations to her and good luck for the fi nal.”
Stay tuned.

other private garage sales throughout Edenhope.

Growing up I remembered the
late Charles Kealy saying that there was no room in his garden for anything that wasn’t productive, specifi cally if it wasn’t a fruit tree, it wasn’t going to get his water.
In contrast, my mother has dedicated much of her spare time to her fl owers, hedges, succulents, ferns, whereas the fruit trees have come and gone with not so much love.
Periodically the farm has had a working vegetable patch, productivity related to the amount of water available and the cost of fresh fruit.
The chooks have almost
always been at the farm, to the point that I struggled to throw compost in the rubbish when I moved to on campus accommodation at uni.
In my 20’s I didn’t spend much time gardening, to the point we had a rabbit instead of a lawn mower in one of our rentals.
But over time I developed the bug.
Keiren has caught it too.We used to just
specialise in demolitions in the yard. Out came the tool of choice, the mattock.
Down came the various trees, shrubs and underperforming plants in general.
It must be a sign of
our age, that the garden is bringing us more relaxation than ever before.
After a disaster garden in the rocky soils of Bendigo, we smartened up and learnt that some times it paid to invest upfront to get results.
So on the next house we bought in soil and sub-surface irrigation.
And our children fi nally found out what green grass was.
The house in Edenhope has brought us back to some ‘Old English’ styles we abandoned during the drought.
We have roses, irises and tulips.
We also have the
EDITORIAL FRUIT, FLOWERS OR ROCKS . . . by Toni Domaschenz
‘productive’ plantings, with a couple of vegge gardens and half a dozen fruit trees.
But we won’t do the maths on productivity, as the local stores sell fruit and vegges at pretty reasonable prices.
The benefi t of vegetable gardens is not in economics, but in the ability to get the children to help, and then to eat a variety of foods they wouldn’t usually.
At the moment it is some sneaky parsnips, in between the carrots, lettuce strawberry and tomato plantings.
In my former years I did a study about the value of green space in a town.
Discovering that in a
drought, when landholders have to give up or dramatically downsize their gardens and lawns, that they appreciate some green spaces in the town.
For that reason I am thankful I live in Edenhope, where the Parks & Gardens crew do a great job of balancing green with grey.
Last Thursday night council debated the need for a service review for Parks and Gardens for the next three years.
The controversy involving a current Kaniva contract.
I hope they fi nd a balance between good economics, aesthetics and a break from the drought.
Fragrant roses are out in Lake Street, Edenhope.

Each year we hear about hay stack fi res in sheds and paddocks and unfortunately, equipment.
However, not so com-monly thought of are hay baler fi res.
Balers are often burnt-out, but sometimes the tractor is also partly or completely destroyed, nei-ther are cheap.
Most baler fi res are caused by over-heating of damaged/worn bearings, and often not noticed until the hay bale and baler are well alight.
It is compulsory in Victoria for all tractors to have a water extinguisher with a minimum nine litre capacity attached to the tractor during the fi re restriction period.
This can be a pressur-ised water extinguisher or a knapsack. An extin-guisher could be critical to stopping a baler fi re or at least delaying it spreading before the CFA arrives.
Carry a minimum two kg dry powder extin-guisher.
These are useful for electrical and hydraulic oil fi res, often starting as a result of the baler fi re melting wires or hydraulic hoses.
Embers often are blown into nooks and crannies around and under the tractor cabin.
Spraying water into these spots sometimes does not reach all crevices or deep enough. The water can evaporate before extinguishing the fi re.
A powder extinguisher will spread further and is more effective in these scenarios.
Electrical shorts can start fi res and even though the electrics are usually
Grampians NewsHay balers: A hidden fire danger
Frank Mickan - Pasture and Fodder Conservation Specialist
automatically shut down on many of the latest model tractors, fi res can sometimes short circuit this safety process. Water won’t extinguish these fi res.
Tips
- Clean the tractor each day to minimise build-up of fl ammable material.
- Find out normal oper-ating temperatures of the bearings using a thermal gun (from $30 - $100’s). The latest balers run at higher temperatures than the earlier models.
- Change sets of bear-ings when one is showing signs of wearing out.
- If you notice a fi re, it is strongly suggested NOT ejecting the bale.
- Do not speed up the
tractor in the hope of extinguishing the fl ame.
- Separate the tractor. - Avoid overloading of electrical circuits.
- Use vermin deterrents during the down period.

A wonderful celebration took place on Tuesday 6 October at the Golf Club Rooms.
The celebration of the 15th Birthday of Edenhope and District Combined Probus Club, where President Max and his wife Ruth, welcomed 50 Probians from the district.
Members not only enjoyed a delicious lunch, but had time to catch up with friends from Naracoorte, Casterton, Horsham and Victor Harbour.
Thank you to Jan Lampard and her team of hard working kitchen assistants. All comments of the meal were positive, indicating a job more than Well Done!
Our delightful
entertainment was presented by students from Edenhope College Band.
A group of girls and boys are learning instruments such as clarinet and trumpet, and this opportunity to play in front of an audience allowed each student to shine.
More fun was had as door prizes were drawn and won by members and guests alike. Many thanks to those members who donated gifts for this purpose.
Once again, our birthday cake was magnifi cent, not only in taste and texture, but also the gorgeous decorations refl ecting the colours of Probus.
The combined effort of Marcia Tansey and Enez
Rethus was, and continues to be, much appreciated.
A photo of the cake was in a recent edition of The Advocate paper – thank you Toni.
It is with sorrow that Probus members said farewell and honoured the life of Marjorie McDougall at her funeral on Monday.
Upcoming
Remember that November’s meeting will be held in The Supper Room of the Mechanics Hall, on the fi rst Monday of the month.
This will be the last meeting before our Christmas Dinner gathering, so come along to book in for the meal and to choose from the menu.
Thank you. Marilyn Goldie
Probus Notes -15th Birthday
Pub owners talking to the Sunrise crew.
On this day, what didn’t
happen but did
Movie enthusiasts will today (Wednesday 21 October 2015) celebrate a milestone.
At 7.28am ‘Marty’, ‘Doc’, and ‘Jennifer’ arrived in the future during the movie “Back to the Future II”.
The movie, created in 1989 was aired on free TV on the weekend for nostalgic Gen Y movie buffs.
Some predictions were close, while others were way off the mark, with faxing still used for
communication. It included hover
vehicles, hover skateboard and self tightening shoe laces.
The family ate dinner with children glued to their high tech spectacles, like mobile phones and tablets, at the dinner table, phenomena of today.
While the move includes video calls and huge televisions which we enjoy, there are no mobile phones or internet to be seen.
Sunrise at Border InnOn Friday night the Border Inn in Apsley was packed,
ready to greet the Weekend Sunrise crew, including reporter Paul Marshall. The crew also fi lmed at local properties, inspecting the current conditions.

Energy retailers have hundreds of different pricing plans for customers to choose from.
But because comparing them is complex and time consuming, most people aren’t on the best plan for their household or business.
As a result, nine out of 10 Victorians pay more than they need to. Sometimes a lot more.
That’s why the Victorian Government has developed an online energy comparison tool to do the hard work of comparing energy plans for you. It cuts through the
complexity and comes up with the best plan to match your energy use. And it works for electricity, gas and solar.
MORE THAN 90% OF USERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAVE MONEY.Victorian Energy Compare is independent and easy to use. All you need is your latest electricity or gas bill and a few minutes of time.
Thousands of Victorians have already tried it – with half of them able to save more than $330 a year.
So why pay more than you have to? Go to www.vic.gov.au/victorianenergycompare

Edenhope & Dis-trict Memorial Hospital (EDMH) Nursing Home and Lakes Hostel is show-ing its aged care staff how much their work contrib-utes to supporting the high quality of care provided to residents.
EDMH have recog-nised their aged care staff by taking part in Celebrat-ing Aged Care Week 15 – 22 October.
The staff are not just appreciated by the aged care service but by resi-dents and their families as well as the community.
The Nursing home and Lakes Hostel hosted an afternoon tea to celebrate the contribution of staff and took the opportunity to share stories about the rewarding work of caring for others in public resi-dential aged care.
EDMH CEO, Kevin Mills, said the aged care staff were essential to resi-dents’ quality of life and providing a safe and sup-portive home for people in their later years.
“We are really pleased we could take the opportu-nity to recognise the high-quality expertise of our staff and to foster appreci-ation for the work they do every day,” said Mr Mills.
Staff member Jess Sambell said she enjoys her work in aged care because “It is a rewarding career where I get to work with interesting people.”
Lee Pinkerton said she enjoys hearing the funny stories from residents.
Celebrating Aged Care Week is an initiative of the Public Sector Residential Aged Care Leadership Committee.

Duke of Edinburgh - Edenhope College Shortlisted
Edenhope College have been recognised as Finalists for the Lon-
gevity Award, as part of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Victoria Excel-
lence and Innovation Awards.
The Awards recognise the outstanding efforts of those who make The Duke of Ed possible and high-light the commitment and dedication to youth devel-opment in the community.
Four schools in Vic-toria are fi nalists in the Longevity Award on December 5 at the Grand Hyatt, Melbourne.
Running the Award since 2001, Edenhope College have created a great sustainable pro-gram which has become a cornerstone of the local community according to Anoushka Gungadin, Duke of Ed CEO.
“Edenhope often dis-plays high numbers of participants and has great continuation rates.
“They not only have a positive impact on young people in their commu-nity, but are a great exam-
ple of what it means to participate in the DOE.”
“All of their activities are based around how they can help their local com-munity.
“This year they helped the local council do sign posting for the local lake and have been working with the Edenhope P&A Society creating the Pet Show for their Local Annual Show.”
“They have used their voices to broadcast the benefi ts of the program, yet it is their embodiment of the Award’s values which make the greatest impact.
Over the weekend DOE students assisted once again with the MS Edenhope Fun Run/Walk, volunteering with chil-dren’s activities, drink sta-tions, and presentations.
Goroke P-12 College last year took home the state award.
▲ Amanda, Greta, Toni (image), Cheryl and Marj were the 2015 book contributors.
Harrow Bush Nursing Centre have again deliv-ered an outstanding local event in the launch of book four in the series of ‘Pathways to Harrow’.
A full house heard from fi ve speakers about their pathways to Harrow.
Heart warming and heart wrenching stories which included road trauma, medical diagno-ses, adoption, love, travel and dreams were heard by the enthralled audience.

Behind the Property
In 1879, a 23 year old man
called Henry Mitchell began a
diary.
For the next 11 years he would
record daily notes about his
time in Western Victoria.
This included his trip to
Karnak, on the advice of his
brother-in-law to settle in
Karnak.
On Tuesday 21 August,
he recorded the following
passage “We [Henry and his
father] drove down to the place
where we were going to build
and having a bottle of P.B [Proof
Brandy]. We christened the place
Oak Park amidst cheers - we then
set to work unpacking and I went
over to Lanes and arranged with
Mrs Lane to bake some bread
until our girls came up.”
The Mitchell family reside in
Karnak to this day, including
Henry’s great nephew Gordon,
Oak Park

settlement cairn and in front of some bulokes.

Advocate.
Henry lost his only two
children at a young age, and
his diaries were handed to a
nephew.
It was fortunate that Gordon
borrowed the diaries, which he
and his father read, “from cover
to cover”, as not long after they
were borrowed, the house they
resided in burnt to the ground.
Gordon now keeps the diaries,
on the property in a very safe
location.

The Edenhope P&A Society is pleased to announce that we now have a website, www.edenhopeshow.com

Membership of the P&A is just $20 for entry for the whole family (including all your kids 16 years and under) and a copy of the Show Book.

The Show will include all the usual Sheep, Cattle and Yard Dog events, and the Prime Lamb Shearing Competition will run in the shearing shed all day.
The Stockman’s Chal-lenge will get under way at 9.00am, and the Eden-hope Adult Riding Club will conduct Show Jump-ing plus Hacking.

Power’s Creek Tribute: Rural Book Review
The book cover,
includes a Ron Penrose
portrait, reproduced
with permission
A much anticipated local book is now for sale.
Titled ‘Warners of Powers Creek: JS Warn-er’s memoirs’, the book was written by Kate Dowler in partnership with JS in his latter years.
JS was known in the
district as a great commu-nity man with a dry sense of humour. None of that wit and passion is lost in the telling of this story.
This short novel lacks nothing in providing a tale of history by JS.
From the early days of settlement, to the modern era of governance boards.
JS recollects the hard times during the wars and depression, when rabbit-ing was part of the culture and tree clearing encour-aged by the government.
“In public life I believe you have got to choose the time to join and choose the time to leave, said John in the book.
In his fi nal days he still dreamed of Lake Wallace.
The proceeds from
book sales will head to set-ting up the new museum.
Outlets include Eden-hope Newsagency and Edenhope Tourism (via Edenhope Courthouse), or Ann Warner.

Apsley Ladies GolfThe Apsley ladies played a 3 ball ambrose
in warm conditions on Wednesday. The winners with 67 1/3 were Margi
Cryer, Sheryl Kinnane and Hayley Hocking. Sheryl had a great shot on the 3rd to win
nearest the pin. The ball landed about 1 metre from the hole and was put in for a birdie.
The ladies season has now closed with fi nal results next week.
Chip `n run
Ladies
There were some high scores recorded last Wednesday in the ladies’ game with Liz Mulraney scoring 40 pts to win from Jenny Powell and Jenny Tucker who both fi nished with 39 pts.
Jenny Tucker was sharp shooting, being nearest the pin on the 7th and 16th.
Chicken Run
Last Friday’s chicken resulted in a good win to Sam McClure with 21.5, just pipping Rob Kealy 22.
Saturday
Saturday’s stroke game was won by Mat Cranage shooting 2 birdies and 6 pars, to fi nish with a 4 under nett 67.
One stroke behind was Trevor Bennett who fi nished with a nett 68.
Nearest the pins were David Castello on the 4th, Oscar McDonald on the 7th, Sam McClure on the 12th and Alby Lang on the 16th.
Nearest 2nd shot at the 18th was Greg Thomas.
This round was also the fi nal round of the club championship for 2015.
After 3 rounds there was a tie between
Nick Hanel and Greg Thomas. Nick’s rounds of 79, 79 and 80 and
Greg’s rounds of 80, 82 and 76 gave both players a fi nal aggregate of 238. It is a shame there has to be a loser but them’s the rules and next Saturday’s playoff for champion should be a ripper!
In B Division Sam McClure was vic-tor with an aggregate of 251 over the 3 rounds. Sam shot 4 birdies and 21 pars over the 54 holes.
Well done to Chris Hateley winner of C Division with an aggregate score of 291.
The handicap winner was Sam McClure with a nett total of 206.
The ladies game was a drawn result with Marlene Hinch and Liz Mulraney both shooting 36 pts with Marlene getting the prize on count back.
Liz Mulraney was nearest the pin on the 12th.

Next Saturday October 24 is stableford.
Duty is Chris Ryan.‘The Pro’
With the Apsley Angling Club hosting its fi rst fi shing competition there were doubts about the viability of the fi eld for last Sunday.
With 20 players it turned out to be the best for a while.
The game format was changed from a team event and the fi eld played an indi-vidual stableford event.
Winner for the day was Andrew Jude with 38 points and the runner up was
Craig Walton with 37. The ladies winner was Roma Moyle
with 35 points. The nearest the pins were gained by Andrew Jude on the sixth and Bruce Mueller on the eleventh.
Upcoming
Next Sunday is our closing day and the event is a mixed Pinehurst. There is a BBQ tea after golf so if members could provide a salad.
Edenhope made it two wins from two outings in Bowls Wimmera Divi-sion 2 with a solid perfor-mance away to Natimuk on Saturday.
The team has a good break at the top of the lad-der and leads by 13 points.
Goroke weren't so lucky on Saturday away to Coughlin Park 3 and couldn't back up their round-1 win last week.
Still, their positive start sees them sitting in fourth spot on the ladder.

Grassroots sports clubs in West Wimmera can now apply for a life-saving defi brillator, so that players, spectators and parents can step in during an emergency until para-medics arrive.
The Member for West-ern Victoria, Jaala Pul-ford, said applications are now open for clubs to secure one of the life-saving devices.
“Medical experts say when cardiac arrest strikes, time is of the essence. A person’s chance of sur-vival decreases 10 per
cent every minute without defi brillation,” Ms Pulford said.
Clubs will be assessed on location, the age of members and the sport played, but also the num-ber of volunteers who will be trained to provide emergency care.
Successful clubs will be required to implement a sports medical plan, so they are prepared to act fast in an emergency.
Clubs interested in the program can fi nd out more or apply online by visiting www.sport.vic.gov.au
At the Greater Western Region Secondary Ath-letics in Ballarat, Goroke P-12 College had some impressive results including: Grace Hausler 1st in 18-20 years girls Javelin; Emma Hausler 1st in 16 year girls Shot Put; and Lily Cameron 1st in 15 year girls High Jump. They will compete at state level.
Saturday pennant is at home with Edenhope v Horsham City 3. On Sunday Edenhope hosts
a mixed fours tournament. The mid-week team
will head to Natimuk on Monday.

The Edenhope Adult Riding Club met for it’s October rally at the Edenhope Pony Club Grounds.
“We were lucky enough to have experienced polo-crosse players Tracey & Bec Burns come along for the day to show us some of the skills involved in this equestrian sport,” said Fiona Baxter.
“We started off with the basics of picking up and bouncing the ball on the ground, before giving it a go on our horses.”
Most horses coped well with racquets being swung
around their heads and balls rolling through their legs. Later on, six keen members took part in a
‘mock’game of polocrosse, learning how to take a throw in and what positions you need to be in to pre-vent the opposition from scoring.
“We now have a few members who are keen to check out the upcoming come & try day at Naracoorte Polocrosse Club in November.” Our next rally is on the 14th November, with a ride at ‘The Rises’.

Juniors
Naracoorte 48 d. Apsley 4
Sarah Hunn and Ben Klein played their fi rst matches in the Kowree Tennis Association last Saturday under ideal con-ditions.
The doubles combina-tions of Henry Yelland and Jack Grundy from Nara-coorte and Caitlyn Ridg-way and Elyssa Hausler from Apsley were evenly matched and all points were hard fought but not refl ected in the scores.
This week saw the debut of youngster, Will Ellis, who held his own in the number six position.
After most play-ers enjoyed a win in either doubles or sin-gles, it ended up being the strength of number 1 player Charlie Campbell over a determined Milli-cent Gabbe which sealed the win for Crossroads.
