Congratulations

the opportunity to represent the LBU football club in the The
selection process went over a period of 4 months and a squad of 24 was
selected from 50 boys. The 4 days
in Melbourne had the boys staying together not only playing footy but they
were also treated to a dinner at the MCG, watching a Richmond training
session, went to see the legends footy match and also frequented the cool
water at St Kilda beach as a part of their recovery program after each match. Both boys
competed well and gained a great wealth of experience playing football at
this next level. The team
won their first two matches against Well done boys you have done the club proud. POLISHED PERFORMANCES ON NEWLY POLISHED BOARDS
Emma
Spencely A free
drought concert held on Friday July 11 at the Milloo Hall to celebrate a
treated and polished floor and freshly painted walls, and to support the
local community in this time of drought was a great night. The crowded hall
enjoyed 18 items supplied by singers, dancers, instrumentalists, a poet,
comedian and drama. Thanks to the support, in particular by the Salvation
Army, every family received a gift as they entered, and perhaps won a lucky
door prize. Credit is due to Jim Mitchell and his committee on their
organisation.

LOCKINGTON
& DISTRICT LIVING HERITAGE COMPLEX
Website: Heritage
Complex Web Site Hello Everyone! This week,
we’ll go straight to Gordon Weller’s recollections. Weller
Reminiscences recalled by Gordon Weller in 2009 (Continued). SCHOOLING The Weller
children were sent by horse and gig to the until the School
– was provided. During the drought of the 1940s, there were massive
frosts, some lasting until devised to
provide a warm drink to the children at recess. The
Mothers Club agreed to provide cocoa and sugar and students were to bring
along their own milk which would be heated. All went
well until one family admitted that they had forgotten to save their milk
that morning but they had raided the cat’s tin for their contribution!! LOCKINGTON Gordon
recalls Hopetoun Street Lockington as it was in his childhood. From north
to south, the buildings were as underlined. First was
the hairdressing
business. At the rear of the main building were five sleep outs, later
dismantled by George Harrison who used the recovered materials to builds a
residence at Next door
to the Wilfred
Harrison built a Café which is now Tas’s Take-Away. Musteys’
Butcher Shop was next in the line. Gordon
remembers that it had a big ice-box cooler and a chopping block that
seemed to be about six feet across. Next to
the butcher shop was Watsons’ Café, and Arthur Kidd repaired
shoes and boots in a little shop at the south end of that building. In later
years, the Billiard Room was relocated from next
building which, later still, became the Chemist Shop. Next to
this was Cliff Gartside’s Sports Store later operated by Ron Gordon.
(This last building was destroyed by fire in recent times). At the
north end of there was
a fruit-packing shed managed by Bill Chapman, father of Geordie
Chapman and Betty (Bill) Mustey. Here,
citrus from the Bamawm Orchards was packed, and a bag of
‘seconds’ oranges could be purchased for three pence
(approximately 2 cents!). Gordon
recalls how “jolly good they were too”. Opposite
the Masonic Hall was the Weller Family’s house dam, fed by a depression
from the south which bordered where St Canice`s Catholic Church now
stands on the east side, and ended in a lignum swamp where the
Lockington pre-school has since been built. Though
contamination was a problem, locals would bring meat and nets to the dam to
catch yabbies for bait. In the
early 1950s, Lockington was connected to a town water supply and the dam was
filled in. This
supply, run by the Distribution
was via wire-banded wooden pipes. However,
after the introduction of the new tower, which holds one megalitre and which
was supposed to be world health standard water quality, it was found
necessary to roof the tower as roosting pigeons had added high levels of
E-coli. For a
period in the early 1950s, the Weller’s conducted a milk-run around the town
with David being the ‘Milko’. After he left to undertake training as
a policeman,
the family maintained a dairy farm dairy licence. This
system allowed customers to come to the farm to collect milk and cream, but
it was discontinued when regulations came into force requiring pasteurisation
and homogenising of milk. The
capital to meet these requirements was not available nor, Gordon feels, would
it have been a viable option. The Weller
Family built a new home in 1948 (Termites having eaten out the old one)
and electricity came to Lockington in 1949. Arthur
built a new cow-shed with six units in the early 1950s and when Gordon
married in 1956, he began share-farming with Arthur. Mr Boyd, the long-time manager of the
Rochester Co-Op Butter Factory retired in 1960, and the appointment of a
young Alec Buchanan brought many changes as he advanced the swing from can
collection to bulk milk. Weller’s
agreed to leave ‘Holdenson & Neilson’ and supply the Co-Op
– “Welcome, one 400-gallon bulk milk vat – Goodbye
pigs!!” The dairy herd had now increased to 120 and, with time, the vat
proved not to be big enough. Arthur
Weller’s ‘new cow-shed’ is now redundant and the milking is
carried out on
‘Smith’s’ and ‘Hewlett’s’, properties
which were purchased by Paul
Weller after he came into the family partnership in 1985. Today, the
most productive land on the farm has all been lasered, and pipes and risers
are in place to irrigate about a third of the original farm. Internal fences are
all electrified. The boundary fences, now more than fifty years old
will soon require renewing. The fourth
generation of the Weller family now directs the progress but all look forward
to torrential rain to change the scene after twelve years of drought. Thank you,
Gordon. I’ve
enjoyed hearing
about your memories of Lockington. ‘Bye
for now, Marg O’Brien. THANK YOU I would
like to thank all the wonderful people for their Get Well thoughts & wishes,
for the cards, flowers, chocolates & D.V.D.s. For the soup & cottage
pie thank you Debbie Green & Shinzy. I thank you all so very much. And a
special thank you to My Darling Partner Matt for all his caring & support
while I was ill. Love you. What a lovely caring community I live in. Thank you.
Janine Jamieson. Joe &
Julie Chappel would like to thank all, whether it be by card or personally
or attendance at the open house afternoon, for their congratulations
and best wishes on the occasion of our Golden Wedding. In
particular the Heritage Committee for the lovely meal and the preparation of
the afternoon tea. To the family
also a big thank you for all they did in so many ways. We both had a
wonderful day. Thank you. Joe & Julie. Thanks to
Colleen Curran who answered the call for help with typing the Community News, and is a good learner. Thanks to
those who have made contact to offer help in some way. We are still
seeking “Ro v i n g Reporters” (that
means there can be more than one) who has a knowledge of people
in the community where it is important to report on good and not so good. LBU UNDER

We were
warmed by a nice fire at our July meeting as we dodged in between fairy
lights and dressing room curtains as the hall was prepared for the concert
the following evening. What a wonderful concert and how wonderful the Milloo
Hall now looks with clean polished floors and fresh paint work. Discussion
took place on whether the Echuca Group CWA should hold a Christmas
Pageant/Festival, and what Milloo Branch may be able to contribute. Milloo
Branch will celebrate 40 years later in the year, we are not sure how as yet.
Magazine Secretary Ivy reported that the Scholarship application forms were
in July magazine. International Officer Lorrie gave an interesting report on
our Country of Study, " Report by
Julie Chappel What’s been happening… For those
of you who haven’t heard of “KOOL Club”… Kool Club is
an after school program ran by the local Christian churches. Local
children are able to learn about God while enjoying afternoon tea and fun
activities. The
program is under the auspice of the Lockington Business Centre as one of our
Neighbourhood house programs. The
program is also supported by the The
program began in Term 2 of 2008 and is still going strong… Term 2 for
2009 saw the participants having a ‘whale of a time’ when they learnt the
Bible story of Jonah. The children had fun making a whale which ‘spat’
out Jonah, a wiggly worm, stress balls, a memory box, and also enjoyed a
visit from missionaries Kenny and his wife Lauren who are currently based in KOOL Club
is not only enjoyed by the children but also by the volunteer leaders, and planning
for term three is currently underway. All
volunteers have a ‘Working with Children’s check’ and are
committed to the program. If you would like to know more about the program or
offer your support in any way please feel free to contact Louise Ross at the
Lockington Business Centre on 5486-2683 or Katrina Robinson. Wet
conditions made for testing golf for 16 brave and hardy souls at the Lockington

as C Grade honours. Brett
Stone finished +3 to win C Grade, ahead of Steve Holt (+2). Fresh from
a let-up, Andrew Wright performed well to score +2 and win B Grade, with Rick
Connors runner-up (+1). Rick Hasty (+3) was runner-up in C Grade to Mark

terrific to see Terry Thomas complete 18 holes (and finished a very respectable

around by winning 5 of the next 6 holes, to ultimately win 2 and 1. Last
Wednesday the ladies played a stableford round, the second round of the Mona
Hewlett Trophy. In a close
finish, international traveller Lois Chugg was victorious with 34 points,

Wednesday the ladies played a stroke round in tough conditions, with Elaine
Wright the winner of both the day’s event (113-34-79) and the nearest
