This Week’s Sponsor Jenny & Wendy Williams in Loving Memory of Geoff Williams Thank you very much .

WALKS UP MT MONMOT Over the 3 days we experienced a huge variety of weather with every element at some stage sharing the days with us.

Firstly, I wish to sincerely thank the Mackinnon Family for giving us permission to

walk the beautiful mountain on their land.

I also sincerely thank Andrew Welsh for facilitating this permission and for his trust that all would go well. In today’s times it is a challenge to welcome the public onto your private land due to the possible litigation if things go wrong. Thank you from our Skipton and district community .

Approximately 20 people joined me to discover the true beauty of one of our local icons, learning about its geology and how incredibly unique Mt Monmot is with it being a rare double cone.

This is a very rare form of volcanic cone with very few existing in Australia.

It is important this cone is preserved as it is, never to have more scarring added to it in the future with thoughts of extending the quarry in the wind!!

The vistas from the volcanic plug and the main rim are stunning, especially as the canola crops paint the landscape golden, and before the turbines raise their ugly heads.

Thank you to all the local people who walked the Mount, enjoyed the exercise and tried to view it as in the eyes of Ludwig Von Gherrard.

I apologise that there is no way making it easier to climb to the top (an escalator was suggested!!).

Please keep taking photos, recording your local environment in painting, drawing, writing and creating so you are able to be part of the celebration of our landscape in 2019.

Historically this is a VERY important time which will be lost forever.

Remember, everyone is invited to be part of the ‘Landscape Celebration’ —don’t forget to encourage our children of ALL ages to participate (maybe the parents, grandparents, school and pre school could support us with that by encouraging their children).

Once again thank you to the Mackinnon Family and

Andrew Welsh, Manager of Langi Willi. (Pat Gabb).

Reminder --- are you interested ??? A reminder to our wonderful community,

look at your landscape and record it NOW .

Community Event “Celebrating our Landscape”. Photograph,

sketch, paint, write or??

Before it changes dramatically.

Time is running out before the first turbines are

erected on the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm.

We will be commemorating our landscape with an

exhibition in 2019 in the Skipton Hall.

Photos, drawings, poems, painting, all are a

wonderful method of recording our landscape.

What a game we witnessed at the Grand Final

played at Eureka Stadium on Saturday!

A huge contingent of Skipton supporters were on hand to

see if our boys could finish off their year as we hoped.

After grinding out a couple of good but not that pretty

wins in previous finals we knew they had worked hard

enough, but of course there were nerves in the camp. We

were soon to be reassured!

The scene was set within 30 seconds of the first bounce

with a great piece of teamwork in the middle from

ruckman Ben Nash and league best and fairest Blake Scott

Public Notices

VALE BELINDA HORSLEY

The Board, Executive and Staff at Beaufort and Skipton Health

Service fondly remember Belinda Horsley who passed away last

week.

Belinda was a valuable member of the Nursing team at Skipton

where she started work as a nurse 28 years ago. Skipton Hospital

was 10 beds back in those days and Belinda saw and supported its

growth and success over her years with us. Belinda was a vital

part of setting up Brigadoon for our residents.

In 1996 when the Beaufort Ripon Peace Memorial Hospital and

the Skipton Hospital merged to become Beaufort and Skipton

Health Service Belinda continued to support the community in

her nursing role.

In 2002 the government committed to funding to rebuild the

Skipton Hospital and Belinda was the senior nursing

representative on the project group that planned and developed

the existing Skipton Campus.

In 2004 Belinda was appointed as the Director of nursing at the

Skipton Campus and she held that position until she retired in

2017.

Belinda lived in the Skipton Community and

with her husband Trevor raised their family.

This week the staff have shared with each

other many stories of their friendship and

work life with Belinda.

Beaufort and Skipton Health Service send

Belinda’s husband Trevor and her children

Christopher, Laura and Phillipa our deepest

sympathy and love.

Warm Regards,

Rathi Dawson (BSHS Board Chair)

Book Review.

The Lost Pilots: the spectacular rise and scandalous fall

of aviation’s golden couple, by Corey Mead. 2018.

The era of aviation adventure was long before most of us

have memories. In 1927 an Australian woman, Jessie

Miller, aged 25 and trying to escape a loveless and boring

marriage arrived in London, where she met charming and

ambitious Bill Lancaster, who saw out the First World War

as a pilot, joined the RAF, but who now had his head full of

a scheme to emulate Charles Lindbergh - he wanted to fly

to Australia. And Jessie managed to persuade him that if

he wanted her to help finance the adventure, she would

have to go with him. It worked – somehow the money was

found the plane chosen, an Avro Avian III biplane and the

first part of the book describes the hair raising and

successful flight to Australia in the “Red Rose”. And the

flying adventure continued, pictures of Jessie as a “Powder

Puff Derby” competitor in 1929 alongside Amelia Earhart,

show a tiny, determined young woman who more or less

taught herself to fly on the journey to Australia, one of the

leaders in her select field of strong, independent women

competing against and with the pioneer aviators of the

1930’s.

But it all ended in tears, the

Stock Market crash left Bill

and Jessie broke, the

introduction into their

partnership of a ghost writer

who was going to help write

t h e i n c o m e e a r n i n g

biography, the crime that followed and the tragic end to it

all – read it for yourself, the story of those few frantic years

is as well told as a fiction adventure, and Jessie and Bill

emerge as very real people

Ninety years later, to prove that adventure can still be

found… we can read about

Voyage of the Southern Sun, by Michel Smith. 2017.

Michael Smith determined that flying a one man amphibian

plane designed mainly for lake hopping hunters he could

retrace the route taken in the 1930’s by the big Qantas

flying boats that were then the ultimate way to travel to

Australia from Europe. On his own. With little long

distance flying experience he achieved the seemingly

impossible; he describes each leg of the journey and each

stop along the way with clarity and humour. His secondary

object in the journey was to visit as many movie houses as

he could in the various towns and cities he stopped in –

Michael is the owner of Melbourne’s art deco Sun Theatre

in Yarraville, and restoring old movie palaces is his other

passion.

Once in London, just because he could, he hopped over the

Atlantic for more adventures in America,

the only leg he couldn’t fly home was from Alaska out into

the North Pacific, but that was O.K., he had a family to get

home to…

A wonderful, understated tale of ambition and a huge

enjoyment of what he saw and experienced, and of course

with a strong sense of the history created by the pilots

whose route he was following. Great reading for all,

especially those with a feeling for flight! L.O.

Skipton Progress Association Inc.

Those at the September Meeting of the Association were joined by Cr. Lesley Brown and Gary Moorfield from Corangamite Council, and the meeting had plenty to hear and talk about.

Firstly, the closing dates for nominations for Corangamite Council Citizen of the Year and Event of the Year is on October 1st. We hope other organisations and groups will join with us in putting in nominations for some of the wonderful people in our Community.

Forms can be downloaded from the Council website, or ask us for hardcopy and we can get that for you. Recipients of certificates and award winners will be announced at the 2019 Australia Day Celebrations, which will be held in Terang, 26th January 2019.

Cr. Brown left the meeting with a list of complaints about our roads and roadsides which she will be taking to Council on our behalf.

We thank Lesley for her concern shown in the follow up drive around Skipton.

We hope soon to see the installation of “doggie do” disposal stations around the town. We were granted Council funding for the idea. Please ensure you use the bags provided to keep our streets clean.

We also hope to see the installation of a bike rack for tourists and riders stopping at the shops for a break.

Interesting to get some comments on the street from riders and to hear what they want to see provided in Skipton for the security of their bikes, and how to see they impact other footpath users. (The state of those pavements was also on the list of complaints…)

Of greatest interest was the calling of a Public Meeting to form a plan for the future development of the banks of the Mount Emu Creek where it flows through Skipton. (See details on Shire Page).

Corangamite Council has called the meeting, which will be held on Thursday 4th October 2018, at the Skipton Mechanics Hall, 7.30 p.m.

The Skipton Mechanics Hall Committee of Management has been working with our Federal Member Dan Tehan, and representatives from the stakeholders, the Hopkins Glenelg Catchment Management Authority and the Department of Environment who will attend to try to thrash out what can and should be done for the long term future development and how it could be paid for.

We all have ideas, Progress Association is facilitating the meeting, join our members on the floor and lets see what Skipton residents and groups can achieve by working together.

The Public Meeting on Thursday 4th of October is just before the Working Bee which has been called by L/S/C Craig Walker, and will take place on Saturday 6th October. It will provide a good opportunity for you to sign up for that. With so little rain it seems we have to focus on fire risks again, right here in town.

The next meeting of the Skipton Progress Association will be held on Thursday 1st November.

There will be no formal meeting in October as we will be attending the Public Meeting on future development and management of Mount Emu Creek, but please talk to us about what concerns you, and remember all of Skipton is welcome at our meetings .

SKIPTON GOLF &

BOWLS CLUB Last Tuesday, Skipton Primary School

students from Prep to Grade 2 spent a

lovely afternoon of bowls and golf at

the Club.

What a great opportunity for our

children to get a taste of these sports, as

well as to use the town’s facilities and

get coached by our local athletes.

A special mention to our ex-cleaner,

Glenis, who came out to Skipton

especially for the occasion.

Glenis is the Club President and is a

well recognised champion of both golf

and bowls and together with other

bowlers helped to teach the children

the finer points of the great game.

Glenis shows the kids how it’s done.

Frank Ellingham demonstrates his

expertise.

With a couple of extra

pointers from Bev Grist

the students learnt lots

about how to play bowls

using a smaller bowl for

their smaller hands.

The Bowls Season will

start soon with pennant

teams for both the mid-

week competition and Saturdays as

well. There is always a warm welcome

for new members to the club and with

teams to select soon, a great time to

come along and join the local bowling

club.

The facilities at the Skipton Bowling

Club are fantastic. You will enjoy all

that the club has to offer.

Phone: 5340 2054 and leave a message

if interested and someone will get back

to you. Additional handy tips about putting down a

good bowl and wise words from Barb Pett

Greetings from the

Lake Bolac Eel Festival Kuyang Lapakira In the spirit of cross-promoting other like-minded festivals in our region, we are circulating details of the Waking the Giants Festival to be held at Mount Elephant, Derrinallum 12-14 October 2018.

Entries are invited for a Postcard Art Exhibition and the program of events can be found on their website - https://wakingthegiants.weebly.com/program.html

The two majestic woven sculptures depicting a brolga and an emu created during the 2018 Lake Bolac Eel Festival – Kuyang Lapakira have been invited to make an appearance there.

These ambassadors for the Lake Bolac Eel Festival are currently ‘on tour’ around Victoria. Until 30 September they are in residence at the Ararat Gallery TAMA (Textile Art Museum Australia), which has just reopened following a major redevelopment. This follows them taking part in the Surf Coast Arts Trail at Torquay in August.

The sculptures were created by Gunditjmara master weaver Bronwyn Razem and Natimuk sculptor Dave Jones, with the assistance of students from Lake Bolac College and members of the Eel Festival audience.

The project was supported by Regional Arts Victoria. The sculptures were finished with community input during a Weaving Circle led by Bronwyn Razem on site during the Eel Festival.

The Weaving Circle was facilitated by Ararat Gallery

TAMA in partnership with the Lake Bolac Eel Festival.

Kind regards from All at the Eel Festival Kuyang Lapakira Enquiries: [email protected] and on Facebook

We acknowledge the Djabwurrung as the traditional custodians of the land where the Festival is held & pay respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Roll up for the greatest school holiday

shows in the Shire SCHOOL holidays are almost here and

Corangamite Shire is again presenting movies at

the Theatre Royal in Camperdown.

Films to be screened include the Hugh Jackman

musical ‘The Greatest Showman’ on Thursday

27 September and animated feature ‘Tad the Lost Explorer

and the Secret of King Midas’ on Thursday 4 October.

Manager Growth and Engagement Rory Neeson said the

screenings would be a great opportunity for families to

enjoy great films locally on the big screen.

“Kids, get your friends together and make a day out of it,”

he said. “These shows are always great fun and a fantastic

opportunity to get out without spending much money.”

‘The Greatest Showman’ brings all the glitz and

glamour of the big top to the big screen. It tells the

story of P.T. Barnum who founded the circus they

called The Greatest Show on Earth. It stars Hugh

Jackman, Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca

Ferguson and Zendaya.

‘Tad’ is a 3D animated adventure with the voices of Ariel

Winter and Cheech Marin. It’s about an awkward explorer

who has to rescue his beloved from a villain looking for

King Midas’ treasure.”

Mr Neeson said there was no charge for entry and food and

drink will be available for purchase.

“The Bath Street doors open at 1 pm for a 1:30 pm start,”

he said. For further information please contact

Corangamite Shire on 5593 7100.

Goldwind Appoints Keppel Prince Engineering for major tower contract for Stockyard Hill Wind Farm.

Keppel Prince Engineering (KPE) based in Portland Victoria, has secured a major tower supply contract with Goldwind for the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm, located 35 km west of Ballarat in Victoria.

Goldwind Australia’s Managing Director, John Titchen said Goldwind is very pleased to announce another partnership with Keppel Prince Engineering for the local production of tower sections.

“Goldwind and Keppel Prince Engineering have a solid history of tower production for our Australian projects, for the White Rock Wind Farm in northern NSW recently, as well as Gullen Range Wind Farm and Morton’s Lane Wind Farm.

“Keppel Prince Engineering will be supplying the equivalent to 28 towers for the Goldwind turbines to be installed at the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm. This is an ideal amount to suit Keppel Prince Engineering’s current capacity.

“This contract follows substantial work by Goldwind and Keppel Prince

Engineering to develop a competitive local tower solution,” Mr Titchen said

Keppel Prince Engineering General Manager, Mr Steve Garner said he was very pleased to be continuing to work with Goldwind and commends Goldwind’s ongoing commitment to creating and maintaining local jobs for the industry.

“Goldwind continues to support local jobs and Keppel Prince Engineering are extremely pleased to partner with the team for the construction of the largest wind farm in Australia. We look forward to working on more projects into the future,” said Mr Garner.

Construction of Stockyard Hill Wind Farm commenced recently. It is expected to create up to 300 jobs during construction peaks on site and employ up to 25 permanent maintenance staff once the wind farm is complete.

Once operational, Stockyard Hill Wind Farm will produce clean energy to power approximately 391,000 Victorian homes.

least the families involved , they wash ,

polish, and chauffeur as well as ride

every bump and urge every kick onto its target.

Congratulations to you all.

Our presentation day on Sunday was very well attended with

the success of the Under 15s setting the tone for the day. A lot

of work went into the day, starting with Kelvin firing up the

spit roasts and Alistair vacuuming the social rooms in

preparation. Lucky they were on hand early! Thanks guys.

People rolled in to see the votes counted, awards presented

and our victorious premiership side receive three cheers.

Thank you to all the team of helpers for the magnificent

lunch, especially the families for supplying salads and

deserts. The day was a fitting end to a much more satisfying

year than the previous one, with plenty of good humour and

optimism about next year.

resulting in a quick goal. We had many great contributors on

the day, but so many times these two players combined to

set Skipton on the path to victory. With the ball being forced

forward so often this opened up opportunities for our

forwards , Harry Wills in particular making the most of his

chances, kicking 7 goals and unselfishly sharing other

chances, an effort that saw him rewarded with the umpires

vote for the best on the ground. Congratulations Harry!

Another great part of the game to watch was not just the run

and carry of Blake Scott, but his outstanding pressure on the

opposition and especially his crunching but fair tackles that

resulted in quite a few turnovers our way.

Gordon were restricted two goals for the game but that

doesn’t mean the back line had nothing to do, many

opposition forward thrusts were repelled by the close

checking and tight disciplined defence of our back line.

This was a day when everyone contributed, and while I have

mentioned a few players, the old cliché “ team effort”, would

apply just as easily.

Our Skipton’s Under 15s are an extremely talented group of

lads , who now have a bond of achievement and mateship to look back on with pleasure for years to come. Well done

boys!

I have previously mentioned the support, but to see hundreds

of people around the team after the final siren, all with big

smiles on their faces brought a tear to the eye, and left no one

in any doubt about the strength, passion and commitment of

the Skipton Football Netball Club.

A big thank you and congratulations go to our coach Kelvin

Scott and his able assistant Al Wills. The skill you showed in

guiding this team through the year was exceptional, the

reward at the seasons end would not have been possible

without your careful development of the talent you had on

hand , and the way you turned talent into team.

Just as important to the side were the support staff of runner

Mick Sheehan and team manager Dallas Connell, the hard

work of these two is not to be underestimated. Last but not
