Greg Thompson, had his work cut out for him with almost 500 photos submitted. (Good job they started the judging early!) Congratulations to the Champion Photographer: Kathy The Jingellic Show was another huge success over the weekend, all thanks to the amazing efforts of an enthusiastic and overworked Hirst . Kylie Clarke was an enthusiastic pavilion exhibitor with entries in most classes and she was awarded Champion Exhibitor. committee, led by Ace Coughlan. The weather was kind and Well done, Kylie. A Jingellic contingent spiced up the cooking smiles were abundant. Gate takings might have been reduced on classes with an epic Battle of the Scones, the friendly rivalry was fierce and there was some mutterings after the judging as there is an unwritten and unstated rule but one that is adhered to by judges, that scones cannot be shaped with a crimped cutter – who would have known! Clearly not some of the Jingellic contingent! Not to worry – the committee is going to standardise the instructions for next year so the battle will rage again on a level playing field! Cecillia De Laurentis and her stewards do a fine job each year organising the pavilion entries, unfortunately their efforts are not entirely rewarded as each year it seems the quantity, (but not quality) of exhibits decreases. It would appear that either Walwa and District is being overcome by apathy; or the passion for arts, craft and gardening is being suppressed by other pursuits such as TV/playstation/etc; or we are becoming so horrendously busy that hobbies are taking a back seat. Either way, I think the community A double breaster of prize should make a greater effort to keep the tradition and interest of winning chooks - Don Cheshire the pavilion exhibitions going, after all the Battle of the Scones must go on! The judges and competitors in the Show jumping, hack events and the show classes (livestock and horses) were extraordinarily busy past years but the equine contingent turned out in huge numbers. (Thank you to Jingellic Station for allowing the overflow of horse throughout Sunday. Sideshow alley was populated with colourful jumping castles, Dodgems and food stalls and the “the games of trucks and floats to occupy the adjacent paddock!) The grounds were a credit to the tireless grounds person: Rob McKimmie. We chance” stalls. Kids emptied their parents’ wallets to participate are so lucky to have such an iconic and picturesque show ground, (literally – pocket money doesn’t get you many rides these days!) Gordon and Leslie Bell and members of the Corryong Antique the trees are magnificent! The action kicked off on Saturday with a number of show jumping Machinery Club had some beautiful old vehicles on display, which included a ’54 Bentley in original livery and a ’64 Rolls Royce – classes and the Stockman’s Challenge. The latter was hugely very impressive. There is always plenty to see and do at the popular this year as demonstrated by long line up of anticipatory participants! Wok and Jenny Vinge, together with Terry Norris did Jingellic Show! a great job of organising the event. The evening saw the popular Janice Newnham team penning event and many participants completely lost their dignity as they tried to beat the clock, the other competitors and the cunning behaviour of sheep as they attempted to persuade a group of marked sheep into a small pen. I think the sheep won in the end as they staged the great escape. Many stayed on for a few cool cleansings, to be fed by the Walwa Primary School and Lions Club caterers and be entertained by the Prairie Oysters until the wee hours. Terry Norris’ bum (Cattle steward) is Sunday saw the judging of the pavilion dwarfed by a line up of Charolais bums exhibits and exhibition of such.

Coaches David Crelley and Craig Stephens led the players in a minute's silence in remembrance of the recent tragic death of young Victorian junior cricketer Luke Batty. The players wore yellow armbands and, to both teams' credit, played in the real spirit of cricket . Jingellic's opening bats were Edward Waters and Jaiden Detering. Jaiden went out early while Edward faced several overs before dismissal on 2. Andrew Jenkins and Sasha Newnham met in the centre for a strong 15 run 3rd wicket partnership. Andrew contributed 9 to Jingellic's score of 3-19. Sasha batted solidly taking the lead while Caitlan Klippel hit 5 and Henry Waters 3 to bring the team to 6-50 with Sasha scoring 10. Cooper Daly and Curtis Stephens built a fine 39 run 7th wicket stand before Curtis retired on 26. Jingellic were 7-89. Cooper continued to a retiring score of 25, with Ethan Parry hitting a single. Sol Staples and Connor Newnham were the not out batsmen at completion of 25 overs with the pair calling and running very well between wickets. Connor hit 23 quick runs to see Jingellic 9-121. The 4th over of Colts' innings saw Sol take the first wicket when Andrew held a sharp catch. Sol ended 1-3 including a wicket maiden. Curtis had a double wicket maiden in the 7th, with Cooper proving reliable in the field for the first and Curtis taking a caught and bowled 4 balls later. Colts were 3-23. Sasha took a wicket in the 14th when Andrew held a catch behind stumps to see Sasha finish with 1-11. With Jingellic sharp in the field a run -out saw Colts 6-67 in the 19th. Connor took a good catch off Cooper's third to give him 1-12. Sasha held a chance behind stumps off Curtis to see him end 3-7 with Colts 9-81. Cooper and Connor paired up to take the last dismissal of the day with the visitors total on 82, and Connor 1-4 including a wicket maiden. It was a great game to end the regular season with many of the younger players from both teams showing vast improvement. Jingellic now start the finals with a home game this Saturday. As always, cricket enthusiasts are encouraged to come and support their home team. In a rare double, Jingellic's seniors had a great victory over Falcons. The Jackals dismissed Falcons for 161 in the 37th with Dale Lovatt 4-46, Jesse Ash 2-2, Dean Jury 2-32 and Roy Hall 122. Dale and Curtis then put together an opening stand of 45 with Dale 17, Connor 33 and Curtis 61. It was left to our senior statesmen George Kucka and Craig Stephens to bring the victory home in a manly display of restrained excitement. Jackals 5-169 in the 33rd to record another win. This seniors team has fostered our junior players admirably. Well done to all players for the manner in which you have represented the club this season.

Andrew and Connor Newnham then built another double digit stand. After Andrew went out on 7, Cooper came to the crease. The third wicket partnership of 22 ended when Connor retired on 25. Home team 3-58. Sasha added 7 and Caitlan Klippel 3 as Cooper saw out a number of batting partners and overs to be on 8 when given out. Jingellic 8-88 in the 17th. Two first year players then put together a defiant 18 run last wicket partnership to complete the 25 overs with both batsmen not out Henry Waters on 5 and Mackenzie Miller on 4. Jingellic's total was 106. Edward Waters took a key Batlow wicket in the 2nd over when Connor Newnham held a well-judged catch. Edward 1-8. Connor then saw his brother Sasha glove a caught behind opportunity to give him figures of 1-3 including a maiden. A swift return to the keeper from Andrew resulted in a run-out for the third dismissal with Batlow on 25. Andrew then backed up with a wicket maiden to end 1-5. In the 14th over Sasha and Connor again combined with Connor this time taking an agile catch off Sasha's bowling. Mackenzie's good length bowling saw the 6th wicket fall with the total on 46. Mackenzie 1-3. Excellent ground fielding from Cooper brought a run-out in the next over. Sasha's accuracy saw the 8th wicket fall and gave him figures of 2-2 including a wicket maiden. Curtis held a sharp chance off Cooper's third over to see Cooper end 1-5. Curtis then took the final dismissal when Andrew held a nick behind stumps to finish the game with Batlow 10-57. Jingellic's younger players were strong in the field and with the bat, again proving the essence of cricket being a team sport. Well done to Jingellic as they now progress to the preliminary final to be played against Tooma at Tooma this Saturday, for the right to meet Corryong in the grand final the following week. Jingellic Junior Cricket Club Media Report 8 March 2014 Jingellic's junior team travelled to Tooma for the semi-final last Saturday, with the Upper Murray turning on a magnificent autumn day. Jingellic won the toss and chose to bat with the openers being Curtis Stephens and Andrew Jenkins. Curtis opened his account with a cracking shot over the bowler's head and remained focussed while wickets fell at the other end. At the 7th over Jingellic were 3-35 when Curtis was dismissed on 22. Cooper Daly showed tremendous resolve to steer the visitors through the next 10 overs, hitting a retiring score of 25. Our younger players tried their best and did a great job of seeing out the remaining 8 overs to give Jingellic a total of 75 runs. With a low total to defend Jingellic needed tight bowling. Tooma patiently built a strong opening partnership of 48 runs before Curtis took an agile catch off Andrew's bowling to see the only dismissal of the innings. Tooma easily passed the required run total in the 19th over. It was a disappointing end to the season for Jingellic, but the positives are also obvious. Many of our younger players have improved dramatically and, despite defeat, the team showed great sportsmanship. Club Presentations for both juniors and seniors will be held this Sunday 16 March 3pm below Bridge Hotel on the banks of the Murray River. Please bring some afternoon tea to share.

Tumbarumba Tigers U16 cricketers travelled to Tallangatta last Sunday for their second game against Tallangatta District. The squad were keen to reverse the previous game's result and gain more valuable experience playing on a turf wicket. Captains for the day were Andrew Haenig and John-Paul MacKenzie. Tallangatta had prepared a magnificent ground. Tallangatta District won the toss and elected to bat first. Tigers opened their bowling attack with Andrew Haenig and Daniel Willis.New to the team but not to cricket, Daniel Bond rifled a return to dismiss the stumps and the home team's opening bat, with a brilliant throw. Andrew found his rhythm quickly, with three maidens in a row restricting the batsmen. Andrew finished with 0-9 off 8 overs. Cooper Daly bowled back to back maidens and then took wickets in the next two overs. The first was a well-judged caught and bowled. Home team 3-65 at 17th over. Daniel Willis came back into the attack from the opposite end for the Tigers and took the key wicket of captain and home team's top-scoring batsman, Nick McCormack, who hit a solid 33. The wicket came from a great catch by Peter Morris. Connor Wilson held a skied ball to give Daniel a second wicket and end 2-36. Cooper maintained his accuracy taking the 6th wicket and finishing 3-10 with 3 maidens off 8 overs. Tallangatta District 6-111 at the 33rd over. John-Paul MacKenzie came back in for a second spell, continuing the team's tight line, to bowl two overs for 4 runs. Daniel Bond bowled the last over, taking the 7th wicket, and ending 1-23 with 1 maiden from 8 overs. Tallangatta District's total after 40 overs was 7-128 on a slow outfield. Tigers' fielding was frugal, with all players contributing to containing the batting team's score. In reply John-Paul MacKenzie and Andrew Haenig opened the batting, with no loss of wicket until the 8th over, after John-Paul hit 7 runs. Curtis and Andrew built a valuable 45 run partnership before Andrew was dismissed on 18. Jordan Wilson hit 2 runs as he supported Curtis well. Tigers 3-76 at 26 overs. Zac Richards came into bat at number 5 and played a swashbuckling innings to break up the bowling attack. Curtis' innings of fine stroke play saw him hit 39 runs, enabling the Tigers to focus on victory. Tigers 5100 in the 33rd over. A steady innings from Daniel Willis of 14 runs, with fine support from Andrew Jenkins (2) and Connor Wilson, brought the visitors' total to 9-126. Daniel Bond's steady head and good running between wickets with Peter Morris, saw Daniel hitting the winning run off the last ball and 11 not out off the bat. Tigers 9/129. This is the first victory for a Tumbarumba U16s representative team in 4 years. Coach Craig Stephens Tumbarumba Tigers U16 team enjoying their 1 run victory.

His wife, meanwhile came to feel Our book group is well into the swing of Bookclub again, having had two meetings this year. We were sad to lose Harley as isolated and lonely. Her guilt on surviving the holocaust when all the rest of her family had perished, made her become more and a member due to ill health, while Julia is on leave for this year due to her work commitments. We welcome Jo from Wymah as a more distant from her husband and more and more focussed on trying to remember the past. The trials and setbacks Mr new member. Rosenblum encounters make for a lively read. The January book for discussion was titled "Three Dollars", by Elliot Perlman. An interesting book. This was a good read, but rather sad as it dealt with the period of the 1980's time of redundancies and retrenchments in business and the social fallout of this time. We found Perlman's writing lively and very often quite witty in spite of the depressing subject. A writer to watch I feel. Next month's book is titled "The Bean Trees" by Barbara Kingsolver. We have previously read and enjoyed "Prodigal Summer" by this author. It promises to be a good read with one of the comments on the cover stating it to be "Idealistic and exhilarating. The Bean Trees is a book that combines the most careful craft with a moral code that is loving and expansive". Hope we can agree after reading it!!! The February book was "Mr Rosenblum's List" by Natasha Bron Solomons. A strange book about Mr Rosenblum - a displaced Jew, and his quest to try to totally assimilate into English society. On arrival in England, he had been given a pamphlet about how to integrate into England and he took it to heart!! He became obsessed, even to the point of building his own golf course Walwa World March 2014 7 walwa.com.au or walwabushnursing.com PREP/1/2 Harry Lilly S Lilly J Brayden Mac DJ Lachlan Joe Walwa Primary School "Walwa Primary School children from preps to grade 2 sang three songs : TONY CHESTNUT, THERE'S A HOLE IN MY BUCKET and A SAILOR WENT TO SEA SEA SEA.

There they lived in Jim Ogilvie’s old house near the creek at “Glen-Devon”. From there Bill rode a push-bike to Walwa each day to work for Clem Gadd at the Brick Kiln. Bill made many of the bricks for the Walwa Hall. After a few years Bill moved to Walwa and cut wood with an axe for the Butter Factory and carted it on a 1940 Chef Truck which he replaced with a new 4-5 tonne Austin. Bill continued with the wood up until the 1952 bush fire which burnt all he had stacked near the Butter Factory. The other four children were born from there on, totalling seven. Dad then secured a job on the Towong Shire Council in 1953 in road maintenance and also carted sanitary pans once a week for many years. Dad stayed on the Towong Shire until his retirement in 1981. Your loving daughter Annette For my father My father of 62 years, those years of caring, support, advice and love I thank you. Hard to believe you are now gone, but you are now at peace, and with our creator. Make sure you gaze upon your “thinking hill” from time to time you leave behind a loving wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I am sure you will be greatly missed by all. Rest in peace father, Bill was the secretary of the Walwa Progress Association for many years. The association made many improvements to the town. He was also Secretary of the Caravan Park Committee for years and was responsible there too for many improvements. He “hand-made” every brick for the family home (since sold) on River Road. Your loving daughter Sandra He was a hard worker. He then built up his apiary of bee hives and supplied honey to various outlets and worked them until age 80. He loved to listen to “Country Round Up” on Saturday afternoons, on local Community Radio Station where Annie always played him 2 songs of either Buddy or Gordon. A hard and dedicated worker and loving father who will be sadly missed. Dad over the last few months I have seen you suffer, you ignored the pain, and never once did you complain. I have a lot of memories about your advice and companionship over the years for example the stern way of saying “Check the oil and water in your vehicle before starting the motor and change the oil when it’s due” and that throughout life I have handed down. Along with your kindness to your grandchildren which I and they will always remember? Go now and go in peace rest easy until we meet again Charlie Our dear father was a very special, reserved, dedicated man, well respected by friends and dearly loved by his family. A passionate bee-keeper in his spare time and supplied the best honey ever, his motto was “May be equalled – cannot be excelled.” A hard dedicated worker in everything he did by lantern light after work, he made so many concrete bricks every night to build the family home, even found time to teach me to sing and yodel the old hill-billy songs. At a Christmas school concert in the Walwa hall he encouraged me to sing the song – “I must have good terbaccy when I smoke”.

Gout is characterised by recurrent attacks of extreme pain, swelling and redness in the big toe joint, knee, ankle, elbow and other joints. A gout attack is sudden and painful and caused by a build-up of a waste product, uric acid, in the bloodstream. Excess uric acid settles in joints causing inflammation, pain and swelling. Alcohol, overeating, dieting and dehydration can trigger a gout attack. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor will consider the following treatment options: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); colchicines; corticosteroid injections or tablets. These medications have side effects – your doctor will be able to advise the most appropriate treatment for you. While most other types of arthritis develop slowly, an attack of gout happens suddenly, often overnight. The most commonly affected joint is the big toe, but gout may be experienced in the feet, ankles and knees, and less commonly in the elbows, hands and other joints. For some people, even the weight of a bed sheet can cause intolerable pain. The methods of managing an acute attack of gout differ from the ongoing methods for managing gout. The primary goal in everyday management is to reduce the level of uric acid in the blood so it cannot form crystals in the tissues or joints. The benefits of reducing uric acid in the blood long term include: slowing the progress or risk of kidney disease which may be caused by deposits of urate in the kidneys and possibly reducing the risk of heart disease. Causes of gout Gout occurs when uric acid builds up in the bloodstream and deposits urate crystals in the joint. The build-up of uric acid is most commonly caused by under-excretion of uric acid by the kidneys, but may also be caused by the overproduction of uric acid by the body. Some people have higher levels of uric acid in their bloodstream when compared to others. This condition is called hyperuricaemia and can be hereditary. Gout is more common in men, and often several men of the one family can be affected by gout. Other causes of gout can include the use of diuretics (fluid tablets) which can cause the retention of too much uric acid. Risk factors of gout: A person with gout is more likely to have an attack when they have elevated levels of urate in the blood, consume too much alcohol (particularly beer), consume a diet high in ‘purines’ such as meat, sweetbreads, offal, shellfish, and fructose (found in fruit juices), are obese, use diuretics, injure a joint and/or become dehydrated. Dealing with an attack of gout: Without treatment, the attack usually resolves within one or two weeks, however with medications, the attack can be resolved within several days. If this is your first attack of gout, your doctor will look for elevated blood urate levels and may aspirate (remove a sample of fluid from the joint) for a definite diagnosis. If you have gout, STOCKMANS CHALLENGE JUNIOR; 1ST; Stephen Rouch on Slick Chick, 2nd; Tup Forge on Darby, 3rd; Nick Roe on Tuck SENIOR; 1st ; Jade Birch on Tiger Lilly, 2nd; Randall Taylor on Armani, 3rd; Robbie McKimmie on Ello If you have frequent episodes of gout, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the formation of uric acid and increase the excretion of uric acid. Changes to lifestyle can help in the long term If you suffer from gout you will benefit in the long term from healthy changes to your lifestyle. Suggestions to assist in the lifestyle management of gout include: Maintain a healthy body weight. If you do need to lose weight, ensure your weight loss is gradual as ‘crash’ diets can increase uric acid levels Cut down on alcohol consumption and avoid binge drinking; Keep hydrated – drink plenty of water; Consult a dietician to get advice on a diet that limits the purines that are thought to cause gout; Exercise regularly; Manage high blood pressure and work closely with your doctor or rheumatologist to prevent further attacks and actively manage your condition. Things to remember Gout is a type of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the bloodstream. Excess uric acid settles in joints and causes pain and swelling. Healthy lifestyle choices combined with a correct treatment program should mean that gout can be successfully managed.

Everyone sat around knitting up a storm with their yellow materials. Some were busily cutting up strips of fabric ready to knit while others clicked away with their yellow wool. We had a fun time with lots of chatting. Our project for the month was to do as much knitting as we could to help Holbrook with the yarn bombing of the submarine. Their plan is to cover the submarine in yellow to celebrate 50 years since the Beatles visited Australia. So if you have any spare yellow “anything” that can be knitted up feel free to do so and help Holbrook achieve its challenge. You can drop your knitting off to the craft group or take it into the shire office in Holbrook. (I did take a photo of the group but the photo was too dark to publish in WW) Our next get together will be the third Thursday in April (17th) Would love to see you there to help us knit more yellow.
