CLOVELLY TO HELP

THOSE LESS FORTUNATE

 

 

 

Year12 student, Clovelly Broad, along with 8 other students from Bendigo,

Leitchville and Kyabram leave for Cebu in the Philippines on November 29

where they will spend 10 days working with children in orphanages, childcare

centres and schools, then will face a big challenge of working at Cebu’s rubbish dump.

Clovelly said pictures show the huge dump supplies the people with their homes and food.

She is not so sure how she will like the food which basically is rice and fish, she doesn’t like it that much now, so is sure she won’t when she gets back here!

Her home will be at a basic hotel in Cebu, without any trimmings.

The challenge to take on this adventure was when she heard a talk at school about ‘Sandhurst Alternative Schoolies Experience’ by the Sandhurst Diocese, and decided it would be better to support this cause than waste money

on Schoolies week parties, and has since been busy saving and raising funds for her fare and to help the people of Cebu. What after Cebu?

Clovelly who has been studying English, Maths, Legal studies, Psychology, Legal studies, Health and Human development hopes to do law at Latrobe University next year. If anyone would like to give Clovelly a donation for her

work please phone.

POWER COUNTRY 88FM RADIO

COMES TO LOCKINGTON

 

Pictured are the men who installed the aerial at Lockington's Business

Centre with their van: L-R: Doug Hawken, Ben Comello, Greg

Symes, Mayne Brewer and Rupe Adams.

 

The Business Centre is very pleased to have formed a partnership

with POWER COUNTRY 88FM to bring radio to Lockington.

We now house a relay station broadcasting POWER COUNTRY 88FM

to the Lockington community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For those of you who’ve already tuned in you may have already heard

our Shop Manager Steve Bond, and also Rupe Adams who will be

regularly broadcasting his own show.

This is the first stage of having local radio in town.

Stage 2 is involving a partnership with Lockington Consolidated School where we hope to get a Studio set up that can be accessed both by school students and community members.

There will be lots of opportunities for local businesses and community groups to become involved in advertising and also providing information to the community. There will also be plenty of opportunities for locals to train and host their own radio show.

Power Country 88FM is a LPON (low powered open narrow cast) information station with a country music base, and is part of the Billabong Radio Network. It is a not-for-profit organization run by a committed and skilled team of volunteers. There are currently two studios – Leitchville and Tongala as well as relay stations in Tatura, Kyabram, Cohuna & Barham.

For more information, please contact: Louise Ross 54 862683.

 

The station has its own website www.powercountryfm.com

Sandra White is now a ‘true blue’.

 

Congratulations to Sandra White, and her sister, Ann Martin of

Warragul who became Australian citizens at Echuca’s Civic Centre

on October 13, 2009. Sandra was born in Bristol, England and

came to Melbourne with her younger sister and parents in 1961, being

sponsored by an Uncle.

Sandra worked as a stenographer and met her future husband Ray, who lived at Sunbury, at Brownbuilt’s ball in 1962.

They were married in 1965 and lived in Essendon, before moving at least 24 times, living in Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, and finally to Lockington where they want to stay.

They have three daughters who have given them eight grandchildren

of three boys and five girls. Sandra said she had always wanted to become naturalised but never got around to it, and when Ann was keen they decided to do it together in Echuca along with three other people, which was a special occasion, witnessed by family and friends.

It is 60 years since ‘Australian Citizenship’ ceremonies began.

LOCKINGTON & DISTRICT LIVING HERITAGE COMPLEX

Website: Heritage Complex Web Site

Hello Everyone!

The Heritage Complex Committee of

Management held its annual meeting

last Monday evening. I’ll let you know

about it in the next issue of the Locky

News. In the meantime, we’ll return to

the Editorial from the Rochester

Express of 27 June 1890, in which

concerns were expressed about a rail

line from Elmore to Tomara; one of a

number of projects which were

included in a Railway Bill then before

Parliament. It was felt that the

proposal was in error and the line

should commence at Rochester rather

than Elmore, take a westerly direction

to Mitiamo, and thus link the Bendigo-

Echuca line with the Bendigo-Kerang

one. It was also considered that the

Bill should have included yet another

new regional rail link. This matter was

taken up as the Editorial continued:

“Corop, and the thickly populated

farming district between Rochester

and Corop and thence beyond, has

been entirely ignored in the avowedly

comprehensive scheme which is

sought to be foisted now upon the

public. We refer to a line which should

be constructed from Rochester via

Corop to Heathcote. This, like the one

previously referred to would traverse a

populous agricultural district, whose

residents natural ly look upon

Rochester as their market centre.

Indeed, the Government have already

in a small degree recognised the

business connection between the two

places by establishing a telegraphic

communication, and if Rochester was

found to be the proper junction for the

wires with the main service, it should

by analogy be the best for connecting

it with the trunk railway line. This

route, too, might well be chosen as a

matter of expediency so far as regards

cost. This should have some weight

with an economic Government, that a

considerable length of the line

between Rochester and Corop would

traverse a reserve still unalienated

from the State, which would save

largely through not having to purchase

at least the land along that portion of

the railway route, either for a station

site (which could be erected there), or

for other purposes. Of course we will

be told that the Elmore route would

strike the main line some ten miles

n e a re r Me lb o u rn e , a n d th e

metropolitan markets than if the

Rochester route was chosen; but as

against this let us place those

decentralization ideas which of late

years have held so

prominent a place in

the mind s of

advanced politicians.

If the Elmore route

would save ten miles

freight on farm stock

or produce to

Sandhurst, it will put

ten miles additional

cost on the same

articles being sent to

Rochester, Echuca

and New South

Wales, a matter which will be of no

little importance if the rising

Federation movement with its

community of tariffs and abolition of

border duties, proves successful, as in

all probability it will before a very few

years have gone past. In this direction

o u r l o c a l P a r l i a m e n t a r y

representatives might find cause for

exercising their zeal on behalf of their

constituents, and a well-directed effort

on the part of the members for

Rodney, Gunbower and Mandurang

might go far to awaken the official

and Ministerial mind of the framers of

the new Railway Bill to a just

recognition of the claims of Rochester

to be the junction of the proposed new

and already established lines of

railway communication. To them, and

to the residents of this district we

commend the subject for careful

consideration. A strong expression of

public opinion on the matter is

imperatively necessary if our claims

are to have due attention.”

The Editorial ended on that note. One

wonders what difference the provision

of these suggested rail links might

have made. Would Bendigo have

been a less significant centre? Would

Rochester have gone ahead to greater

things? Might Victoria have had a

network of larger regional townships,

rather than the handful of provincial

cities that we have today? And would

the proposed rail links have met with

the same fate that eventually overtook

so many of those that were actually

completed by our forefathers?

That’s all from me for this issue.

‘Bye until next time, Marg O’Brien.

90 years of Schier farming

13 October 1919 Harry Schier came to Ballendella to dairy farm

131 acres. 100 acres was made available by the Closer Settlement

Commission and 31acres by the Bank. Harry became a director in

1921 of the Rochester Cooperative Butter and Canning Co. Ltd., which later became Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Ltd. Harry's son Noel and his son

Murray continue to farm in the area.

Weighbridge on 3 chain Rd

August Fiedler planned and established the weigh bridge on the 3

chain road between his Store and Warragamba Railway Station.

Daughter Ellie weighed the first load of grain brought in from Milloo with a

wagon and three horses driven by Row Harry.

Warragamba siding ceased in 1977 but a freight train came to get wheat from the silos until 1986.

Does anyone have a photo of the line crossing over the channel

between McColl station and Lockington station?

or is that lost.

LOCKINGTON BOWLS CLUB

 

The Lockington Bowls Club women held a successful

Invitation Triples last Wednesday attracting several

bowlers from district clubs. At the completion of the days

play the Tongala trio – Maureen Campbell, Rosalie

Norman and Elaine Tinning (s) were declared the winners

ahead of the local Lockington team of Pauline Humbert,

Colleen Holman and Joan Ryan (s). The sponsors were

thanked.

Social bowls on the Tuesday were washed out.

During the week Ian Holman and Tom Davis represented

the club in the CVBA State Sixty and Over Pairs held at Ky

Valley View. Following a near flawless display of bowls in

the first round to record a 21-7 victory the form slipped

generally to finish well back in the field after the three

games were completed.

At the Friday night barbeque Ian Holman was the lucky

member in the draw.

The Waterwheel Classic Fours star event will be held on

Sunday commencing at 10.00am. Entries are flowing in so

contact Gordon Haines 5486 2492 for details.

The club held a successful Waterwheel Classic Fours

tournament on Sunday, which attracted 136 bowlers from

18 district clubs. Club President Tom Davis welcomed all

players and thanked the sponsors for their continued

support. Davis also praised the work of the greens staff Ian

Johnson and Ray Mustey in the fine presentation of the

greens for this special gold letter day. Rochester bowler

Bob Knight thanked the ladies for the excellent meals on

behalf of all in attendance. Roy Perks, Ian Holman and

Gordon Haines done a wonderful job in filling the greens.

At the completion of the four games of ten ends there were

only three teams to contest the 5 end play-offs. In the first

play-off the composite team of Paul Kearney, Alan Ash,

Pat Murray and Peter Hall (s) played the local Lockington

team comprising Philip Cunnington, Bill McIntyre, Jim

Harris and Roy Perks (s). After a titanic battle the Hall

skipped rink won by one shot with the last bowl to move

into the final against the strong Mathoura rink of Lindsay

Vallance, Stephen O’Callaghan, Ray Murphy and Les

Bates (s). Following another close seesawing five ends the

Mathoura won the final and will have their names etched in

gold. A great day of bowls where bowlers had to contend

with gale force winds for most of the day. The competition

winner was Ken Colvin.

Last Tuesday the women had a good field at social bowls.

The winning was Julie Chappel, Joyce Leighton, Rhonda

Gallagher and Betty Mustey (s). Visitor Elaine White won

the voucher.

On the Pennant scene the Division one women lost to

Deniliquin by a margin while the Division two women

enjoyed a bye.

In the CVBA pennant Division four won the points against

Ky Valley View by 17 shots. Division two lost to Ky valley

View by 39 shots an all rinks went down. Division three lost

to Rochester by 31 shots.

The next club tournament is the Mixed Pairs on Sunday 8th

November starting at 1.00pm. Entries to Gordon Haines

The Cricket Club & Action Club Annual

Calcutta is being held this Monday the 2nd

of November. It is being held at the

Lockington Golf club with tables still

available for $65 and table. If you are able to just

come along every if you are not on a table and bid

on the horses. If you want a table please give

Nugget a call on 0428 868 250, it promise to be a

really good night, hope to see ya all there.

The 2 day of the game against Echuca South in A

Grade saw us come away with a good win. We started off

well bowling tight with south losing a couple of early

wickets. At tea we had south 4 for about 70, and at the

time we were quite happy with our bowling & fielding.

After tea we pick up a few more wickets before we

allowed them to score some easy runs. We end up

bowling Echuca South out in the 76 over for 200. All

bowlers for the day put in a good effort with the best being

Hayden Collins who pick up 3 wickets. Overall Greg

Pearse was happy with the side performance and it is

good to have our first win for the year.

B Grade was also bowling at close of play Echuca

south where 2 for 50 chasing 98. South got past us with

out to much trouble before being bowled out for about

180. In the 2 innings it was good to see the boys bat out

the rest of the day without losing many wickets so lease

they can take some out of the game.

Last weekend we were back to 1 day game where

A Grade at home took on Echuca. Coming off a good win

we were confident we could notch up our second win.

Losing the toss we were sent in to bat on a flat wicket.

Our start was terrible with myself (David Graham) being

run for the second game in a row. Paddy playing a poor

shot early on. Hayden got 17 before being LBW and we

where 3 for 37 and in trouble. Greg Pearse and Ryan

McMinn put a 39 run partnership which was the biggest

for the day before Greg was caught at mid wicket. This

started a total collapse seeing us lose 7 for 32 to be

dismissed for 108. Ryan topped score with 31 runs. We all

batted very poorly with not valving our wicket enough. We

have work to do on our batting. Echuca innings started

with them on the attack for start. When we pick up our first

wicket they were all ready 40, then Hayden pick up our

second on 49, with not enough runs on the board we were

struggling. Then a 56 run partnership the game was gone

for us. Echuca ended up winning by seven wickets. It was

very disappointing for us as a side, we have no one to

blame just our selves. We need to move on to this weeks

game against Tigers an hopefully register our second win

for the year.

B grade played a Vic park, with Echuca winning the

toss and electing to bat. Echuca made 5 for 196 which is

a big one score. The bowlers all bowled well with the

wickets being share around. We made 9 for 156 in our

innings with the stand out being Ben McPhee with 55 and

Geoff Arnott & Tas Richard also chipped in with scores

20’s.

C grade forfeited due to a lack off players they will

be back this week now the welding season is hopefully

over.

Do not forget Calcutta Monday Night fundraiser for

both Action Club & the Cricket Club hope to see ya all

there.

Community Bank® Branch has contributed in excess of

$150,000 into the community by way of dividends and
