Over 2,000 poppies a fashionable fit By David Lee LOCAL resident, Allison Elder is honoured to be able to help raise awareness for the Remembrance Day Poppy Appeal, but what is unique is the way she is doing it. She is donning a dress made of over 2,000 poppies The dress was made by a-list designer, Helen Manuell of Manuell & Moore, who generously donated over 100 hours of her time and all materials, aside from the actual poppies. Allison’s involvement in the appeal stems back through generations, with a number of relatives having served, her mum, Fiona, currently working at the Shepparton RSL and Allison herself being a RSL youth volunteer and speaker at Remembrance Day commemorations. Allison said, “I’m proud to do this. It’s good to be able to represent my family in such a unique way. “It’s all for a good cause and I am proud to be able to help raise awareness for the importance of the Poppy Appeal. “Many of the older generation are aware of the importance of the appeal, and I’m hoping that this unique way of raising awareness will reach out to the younger generations and get them involved.” From mid October, thousands of Poppy Appeal volunteers around the state will be selling the much loved, iconic red poppy to raise funds for current and former service
men and women in need. RSL Victoria appeals manager, Peter Smith said, “The Poppy Appeal is a cause that resonates with all Australians. “Not only does buying and wearing a poppy show respect for our country’s fallen heroes, it reminds us all that we need to focus on the next generation of men and women who have served Australia, and who may need help finding their feet following their career in the ADF,” Peter said. Shepparton RSL Sub-Branch president, Bob Wilkie acknowledged the phenomenal commitment shown by the members and volunteers who time and time again, make the Poppy Appeal such a success. “Year in, year out, our community rallies together to support the Poppy Appeal in the lead up to Remembrance Day. I would like to thank the local community who support our Sub-Branch and wear their poppy in November,” Bob said. You can do your part to help support the appeal by purchasing a poppy between October 16 and November 10 from SPC Factory Sales, Bunnings Warehouse, Riverside Plaza, Shepparton Marketplace, Target, John Andersons Pharmacy, Fairleys SU PA IGA , Woolwor ths on B enalla Road, Kmart and Coles on Vaughan Street, Shepparton Saleyards & Café and Woolworths Mooroopna.

Minister visits to discuss energy crisis By David Lee AUSTRALIA’S energy crisis is having quite an impact on local business and is being seen as a significant issue that needs to be addressed, and with the Coalition Government recently releasing its onshore gas policy, Shadow Minister for Energy, David Southwick took some time out to visit the region last week, meeting with Gouge Linen & Garment Services to talk about how the new legislation could be of benefit. The policy aims to help put the brakes on soaring gas prices that are currently hurting Victorian households and businesses, by providing cheaper gas and creating more jobs while protecting the environment and farmland. The policy keeps Victoria’s fracking ban while securing the gas resources needed by creating a new royalty sharing scheme that will allow local landowners to benefit from gas produced from beneath their land. Landowners will receive a 10 percent share of the royalty paid to government of the net post-wellhead sales value of recovered gas. The rights of landowners will be protected with a right of veto over conventional gas exploration and production on their land. Gouge Linen & Garment Services processes 230,000kg a week, 25 million pieces a year, which comes to a cost of $57,000 to $58,000 a month on gas alone at the Mooroopna plant. Gouge Linen & Garment Services director, Rob Priestly said, “This is a pretty significant issue.
“We have seen a very substantial increase in our energy costs and to some extent that’s going to have an impact on our customers as well. Our electricity prices have increased by about $100,000 a year and our gas is up by $200,000 a year. “The greater and more concerning impact is on much larger users such as the food processors in our region. Their ability to be able to pass cost increases on to the export market is zero, so you’re really talking about industries that are already significantly suffering from compressed margins and having hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars increase in their energy bills. “Anything that can be done that tries to provide secure, reliable and cost effective energy for an export business makes plenty of sense, so we would support a policy from anyone who can offer that. This new suggested policy by the minister is certainly a step in the right direction.” Minister Southwick said, “Gouge’s story is the same story we are hearing from companies across Victoria. “U lti mately it’s because t hey a re experiencing tripling of energy prices, the sorts of energy increases that we haven’t seen before with no relief in sight. “This policy that we’ve released this week will allow for more supply into the market and ultimately bring new entrants into the market that haven’t participated before to allow more gas, more supply and more competition.

ENERGY CRISIS IMPACT… From left, Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell and Shadow Minister for Energy, David Southwick speaking with Gouge Linen & Garment Services directors, Phil and Rob Priestly. Photo: David Lee.
“An onshore industry would be a game changer and bring competition to the big guys as well. “We think it will be of big benefit to the Priestly’s business and other businesses going forward.” Member for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell said, “Victoria’s history has been that our wealth has been built off the fact that we’ve had secure, affordable power in Victoria. That has lead for us to have manufacturing and food based businesses here in the Goulburn Valley. “The current government’s policies of increasing the taxes on power companies by 300 percent of having a legislated moratorium on gas exploration has lead to a situation where this summer we are going to be facing severe energy shortages, and we’ve facing astronomical prices for our power and our gas. Something has to be done.”

H Win a S colourful ride for a cause By David Lee A PINK Malvern Star bike valued at $400 and a basket filled with cosmetics and skincare to the value of $850 is up for grabs through a simple purchase of a raffle ticket at John Anderson Pharmacy, and it’s all for a good cause, with proceeds from the raffle going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The pink bike, courtesy of My Ride Shepparton, formally Don Ash Avanti Plus, was released last year as part of a breast cancer promotion run by Malvern Star and could be all yours. John Anderson Pharmacy owner, John Anderson said, “We have been running our breast cancer drive for some time now and it was one of our staff members, Antonella who came up with the idea to add the bike in as a prize on top of the basket of goodies. “The raffle is part of our annual drive to raise funds for the foundation, which we have run for four years now and on October 26 we will be running our cupcake day once again with funds also going towards the cause. “For the last two years alone we have raised $2,700 to go to the Breast Cancer Foundation.” My R ide Shepparton co-owners, Trevor and Jenny Morris said, “It’s a wonderful bike and it’s going to a fabulous cause so we were really pleased to get on board. “With Malvern Star’s breast cancer promotion, Break The Cycle, last year producing these bikes, we thought it was only fitting that this bike should continue to go towards the cause it was designed for, which is great. Malvern Star are also running their special promotion for the cause again this year, where the bikes will retail at $100 less than normal.” Tickets are three for $5 or $2 each and can be purchased at John Anderson Pharmacy, Wyndham Street, Shepparton and the lucky winner will be drawn on October 31.

Cancer centre on the agenda for Shepparton INDEPENDENT Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed is eager to see a cancer centre for Shepparton included in the second stage of redevelopment at GV Health. Ms Sheed said there was an undeniable need for easier access to cancer treatment options in the region. “The Goulburn Valley community has been in need of a dedicated cancer centre for some time and I will be keeping this front of mind for the government going forward,” Ms Sheed said. “Research shows people living in regional areas such as Shepparton have a higher incidence of cancer than those in cities. They also face more challenges relating to access, such as longer travel times to health services and fewer specialised health practitioners in the area. “It is unacceptable that in 2017 patients in Shepparton District are being forced to travel long distances to Bendigo or Albury to seek treatment. “Our demographic clearly supports the establishment of a cancer centre in Shepparton and it would make sense to include such a facility in the second stage of redevelopment at GV Health.” This week Ms Sheed visited the Kinghorn Cancer Centre at Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital with GV Health’s infrastructure director, Sandy Chamberlin. “The Kinghorn Cancer Centre provides a holistic, compassionate approach to cancer care throughout the entire cancer journey,” Ms Sheed said. “Although it undoubtedly benefits from being closely linked to the associated Garvan Research Centre, its models of care and design will give us much to think about as we work towards our own cancer centre, which will hopefully find a home at GV Health.”

Enrol your child for kindergarten now GREAT EXPERIENCES FOR INQUISITIVE MINDS… Wyndham Early Learning, kindergarten teacher, Karen Cartwright and health and nutrition specialist Sarah Freer share a story with eager kindergarten students. Photo: Nicholise Garner.
By Nicholise Garner IT takes time and care to establish the kind of garden that really changes a landscape, creating beautiful areas, especially play spaces for children. Just one year on, during my visit to Wyndham Early Learning it’s clear to see that the groundwork has been done and it’s obvious that this garden is going to be just incredible. Wyndham Early Learning co-ordinator, Kathy Beer walked me through the fragrant gardens. I picked a leaf alongside the kid’s path, it was basil. Kathy said, “All of the plants on this side of the garden are edible and the children love planting and eating the fruits and vegies. Our outdoor environment specialist educators work closely with the children in helping them learn about the environment and we’re constantly working on the garden to make it a beautiful space for everyone. With our fantastic team of educators, one year on, we’re just thrilled with the wonderful community we’ve created. The chook yard is nearly ready and we’re hoping to introduce chickens and rabbits in the next couple of weeks.” The kindergarten space has seen a homely addition with a white picket fence around the veranda. Kathy said, “Our kindergarten program is run by Karen Cartwright who is energetic and creative and also brings a calming affect to the children. Now is the time to register your interest if you’d like to enrol your child in our kindergarten program. We have enrolment forms available, so if families would like to come and see our facilities, you can pick up an enrolment form to drop off at council for the central enrolment process.” Visit Wyndham Early Learning at 617 Wyndham Street, Shepparton or call them on 5822 2372 for more information.

Source of ingredients matters WITH Country of Origin Food Labelling Standards (CoOL) formally taking effect on July 1, 2018, the positive implications for Australian suppliers like SPC are proof that source matters, as companies are increasingly relying on them for ingredients grown and made in Australia. E st abl ished last yea r, t he new requirements make it clearer where products are produced, grown, made or packed. The labels also communicate what percentage of the ingredients come from Australia. SPC’s ingredients business is growing as the company works with producers, manufacturers, processors, importers and retailers to meet the July 1 target. SPC head of ingredients and foodservice, Abbey Jones said, “As an Australian company recognised for producing homegrown fruit and veggies from Victoria’s Goulburn Valley, we are well-placed to help our ingredients customers meet the CoOL requirements.” The company provides tomatoes to Mexican Express for the salsa, sauces and marinades it provides to quick service restaurants, food services, retailers and others across and outside Australia. Mexican Express managing director, Ian Young said, “Mexican Express is a proud supporter and avid user of Australian produce. We believe it is a critical part of Australia’s wellbeing to have a thriving farming and processing industry. SPC has a history of supporting Australian business including Goulburn Valley fruit growers who produce clean, green and safe ingredients. “We are dedicated to making it easier for Australians to make decisions about where their food comes from and to buy home-grown ingredients,” Jones said.

100 YEARS CELEBRATED… St Brendan’s Parish Pastoral Council organised a coach trip to Bendigo to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the final apparition of Our Lady of Fatima. Photo: Supplied.
Centenary of a miracle ST BRENDAN’S Parish Pastoral Council helped to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the final apparition of Our Lady of Fatima by organising a whole day coach trip to Bendigo for the recent Marian Festival celebrations. St Brendan’s Parish Pastoral Council organised a large, 57 seater coach for the day trip with people travelling from Wangaratta, Cobram area, Shepparton, Mooroopna , Toola mba a nd Tat u ra districts. As Mass commenced, the cathedral was filled with people from many locations who had travelled long distances from suburbs of Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Wa n g a r a t t a , C o b r a m , Tu n g a m a h , Ro che ster, He at hcote , E chuc a a nd Bendigo. Bishop Leslie Tomlinson was the main celebrant along with a visiting Bishop from interstate, and a number of Diocesan Priests, at the 11am Mass followed by a lunch in the Cathedral Hall. A large number of people availed themselves of the Scapular enrolment held at 1pm, and the Cathedral bells rang out at 1:15pm welcoming all to the Marian Festival. Many of those in attendance who had never been to the cathedral before stood and looked in awe watching the large

bells swinging and clanging in the bell tower. The guest speaker for the afternoon was Father Paschal Corby OFM, who spoke about the history of Fatima which occurred 100 years ago. Father Corby said, “The history is quite interesting. A crowd of over 70,000 people were in attendance on October 13, 1917 and many had travelled long distances to see the miracle as foretold by Our Lady. This was the culminating of the Miracle Of The Sun. The sun appeared to be falling from the sky towards Earth. People cried out in fear thinking it was the end of the world. Shortly after, the sun returned to its normal place in the sky. Many people witnessing the miracle were converted.” St Brendan’s Parish Pastoral Council pilgrims said, “The day was fantastic and spiritual and fun for all. “It was a wonderful experience, we are all blessed by Our Lady Of Fatima. “We had a wonderful day full of faith and it was a great experience having a full day praying. “It reminded me of the Fiesta’s they have in Italy with the saints. There should be more days like this, because we all need to pray. Praying gives us hope and faith.”

60 years of educating the community OVER the past 60 years the way that St Mel’s E duc at ion C om mu n it y of fer s its education to the community, and its involvement with the com munit y has evolved, and to help celebrate this accomplishment, the school is holding three days of special events to mark the occasion. As part of the celebrations, the school will provide students with games and dress ups from the ‘olden days’ on Friday, October 27. On Saturday, October 28 there will be an opportunity for past students to come together for a get together and to bury the time capsule, which will be buried until the school turns 100. On Sunday, October 29 there will be a community gathering with a mass, morning tea and tours of the school. Having been at the school for the past 16 years, current principal, Dom Poppa said that the school has evolved and adapted to the needs of the community. “Over the last 60 years we have come a long way. We’ve seen many refurbishments and changes, transforming the school and we have always had some great parental support and community support. “This celebration is an opportunity to thank the past families. We have had some fantastic stories come in from past parents, which has given us a good, broad perspective of the school. “ F o r S t M e l ’s t h i s c e l e b r a t i o n acknowledges our history. We were founded by the Mercy Order of Nuns and we owe a lot to that.

“Our school community is very diverse and we welcome a large range of cultures, which we owe to the Mercy Order of Nuns, who in the early stages wanted to supply a service to the community that was needed. “In the 1960s, the school evolved to provide a day care and kindergarten service and five years ago we introduced an out of school care service to help fill a gap in the

community. “In my time, it has been great to see our growth and the increase in our cultural community. Also it has been pleasing to see the support provided by the building education and revolution in 2010, which enabled our school to be transformed. “We have also just commenced another building process which is expected to be
completed in early 2018. The new building will create new learning suites and the old building will be removed to provide a more intimate and welcoming environment. This will enable our children to inquire and explore in many different ways.” For further information, visit www. smshepparton.com/2017-celebrating-60years.html

Shepparton’s own ninja warrior Local gets set to take on the insurmountable Mt Midoriyama continued from front page IT was after watching the first season that aired this year that drove Emma to apply for the second season, and three weeks ago she was called to Melbourne to carry out a physical test and interview, and a week ago, she received notification that she had been successful and was selected to appear on the show. Emma said, “I think it was the fact that I stood out when carrying out the physical test. There were five stages as part of the test and each went for five minutes. Half way through, we were given the option to step it up a notch and I decided to do that. “The first stage was to plank without moving, and half way through I did it with one arm and one leg out. The second stage was to do a pull up and push up
continuously for five minutes and when it was time to ramp it up, I did one arm push ups. Then we had to do a dead hang for five minutes and at the half way mark I decided to hang off one arm. I was actually the female who held it for the longest time across the country. Then we had to do five sprints and five burpees continuously for five minutes and then we took on an obstacle that was similar to the first one you come across on the show that tests your jumping ability. “I really enjoyed the fi rst season and knew that I had a lot of upper body strength and had a chance because of what I do with my sport aerobics. “This week I will be going to Melbourne to train at a gym that has all the obstacles from the show to help train before recording starts in December.

“I think the biggest challenge I will face will be the distance jumping because I am short. A lot of contestants from the first season struggled with jumps because they were short, but I am fast so hopefully that will compensate for my height. “I think I will excel in the ropes and anything that requires speed. “I can’t wait. I’m going to give it a good crack. I am hoping to become the first Australian to make it the whole way. I don’t go into anything to come second.”

is good for you FINDING time to relax doesn’t have to be taxing. A short 15 minute session can help you de-stress and believe it or not, relaxation is good for you.
MEDITATE A few minutes of practice per day can help ease anxiety. Research suggests that daily meditation may alter the brain’s neural pathways, making you more resilient to stress. It’s simple. Sit up straight with both feet on the floor. Close your eyes. Focus your attention on reciting, out loud or silently, a positive mantra such as ‘I feel at peace’ or ‘I love myself.’ Place one hand on your belly to sync the mantra with your breathing. Let any distracting thoughts float by like clouds.
BREATHE DEEPLY Take a five minute break and focus on your breathing. Sit up straight, eyes closed, with a hand on your belly. Slowly inhale through your nose, feeling the breath start in your abdomen and work its way to the top of your head. Reverse the process as you exhale through your mouth.
Deep breathing counters the effects of stress by slowing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
BE PRESENT Slow down. ‘Take five minutes and focus on only one behaviour with awareness. Notice how the air feels on your face when you’re walking and how your feet feel hitting the ground. Enjoy the texture and taste of each bite of food. When you spend time in the moment and focus on your senses, you should feel less tense.
TUNE IN TO YOUR BODY Mentally scan your body to get a sense of how stress affects it each day. Lie on your back, or sit with your feet on the floor. Start at your toes and work your way up to your scalp, noticing how your body feels.

Caring for Our Community Foods for a
summer ready body LOOKING for a natural way to get your body ready for summer? All you have to do is put these foods on your grocery list.
BANANAS The potassium in bananas will help flatten your belly. Potassium is a nutrient that helps the body flush out water and sodium, two things that make you appear bloated. Conversely, foods like potato chips and pickles are packed with sodium and can force your body to retain water, which makes you swell. Besides providing a healthy dose of potassium, bananas also increase bloat-fighting bacteria in the stomach.
CINNAMON Cinnamon turns off fat genes. The sweet spice helps reduce levels of the hormone, insulin, so less of the sugar you consume is stored as fat. Sprinkle it in your coffee, in Greek yoghurt, on apple slices, or in your morning cereal and start seeing results.
BEETS Beets are a natural detoxifier. These roots contain a type of antioxidant called betalains that help repair and regenerate cells in the liver, the body’s primary detox centre.
SWEET POTATOES The carotenoids in sweet potatoes will improve your skin complexion. Rather than getting a fake tan, cook up some sweet potatoes. You’ll get a sun-kissed complexion from the carotenoids, an organic pigment that gives the spuds their orange colour. This antioxidant also helps to stabilise
Page 31 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1376 Wednesday, October 18, 2017
blood-sugar levels and lower insulin resistance, which prevents calories from being converted into fat. What’s more, sweet potatoes’ high vitamin profile (including A, C, and B6) give you more energy to burn at the gym.
GREEN TEA Green tea helps to clear out your fat cells. Adding a cup of green tea to your daily regimen can help fire your fat furnace by controlling blood sugar and quashing hunger. It’s all thanks to the powerful and unique catechins found in green tea, antioxidants that blast adipose tissue by triggering the release of fat from fat cells (especially in the belly), and then speeding up the liver’s capacity for turning that fat into energy.

Your vitamins and minerals from A to Zinc
Vitamin G VITAMIN G is evidently a substance of coordinate importance with the longer known vitamins as an essential factor in normal nutrition and deprivation or serious shortage of this substance results in widespread injury to the body. Conversely, the liberal feeding of this substance may be expected to play a significant part in inducing a better-than-average nutritive condition. Breads and cereals are often fortified with Vitamin G (riboflavin). Fortified means the vitamin has been added to the food. Because riboflavin is destroyed by exposure to light, foods with riboflavin should not be stored in glass containers that are exposed to light. Vitamin G is involved in carbohydrate metabolism as an essential coenzyme in many oxidationreduction reactions. riboflavin is essentially nontoxic.
Page 32 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1376 Wednesday, October 18, 2017
Certain groups of people are at a greater risk being deficient in Vitamin G deficiency. They are individuals with kidney disease who are being treated with dialysis; individuals with absorptions problems; women who are pregnant with more than one fetus; and women are breastfeeding more than one infant. In addition, chronic disease such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes mellitus are known to trigger Vitamin G deficiency

A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY DESTINATION… Africa is such a wonderful holiday destination. (main image)
WE NOW change vehicles to smaller 4x4s to head to our lodge. It’s a long drive going over 91 sand dunes to get there but what a ride. One and a half hours later we arrive at the Xaus Lodge. The info tells
us that because of the sparse vegetation, predator sightings are good with a chance to see the famous Black Mane Lion. This afternoon we will find out as we go on a Sundowner Game Drive. P.S. The lion was not out tonight. The next morning we go on a game walk with San Bushmen as our guides. They explain how to track animals and how to live off the bush. We later meet with a group of San people and have the oppor tunit y to bu y som e of th e ir handmade items. This group of young men have been brought to our lodge from the cit y far away, and it’s a chance to get them away from the temptations of the city including alcohol. The following day we leave the reserve and head on to our next country, Namibia. Border control is simple and efficient, the weather is good (30ºC) and the highways are long and made of gravel, but our Safari vehicle seems to handle it well. We travel past huge mountain ranges, some topped with large boulders. They are basalt thrown up by volcanic action aeons ago. The rocks look like huge dice thrown there by God’s hand; a truly spectacular sight. Namibia is an ancient land. This huge state has a sparse population of only two million people, but the tourists are here on mass. We are headed for the Fish River Canyon which is among the largest in the world. We arrive at the Canyon Lodge, our home for two nights. The structure has been built to blend into the stunning rocky surrounds. One wall of the main building is built into the rocks and looks like it’s part of nature only with a five star rating. Tomorrow we will explore the canyon. It’s huge and said
to be only second to Americas Grand Canyon. We walk the rim looking down to the river below. It has stopped moving, not surprising as they only get 20mm of rain a year, but if it rains heavily in its tributaries the waters will rush through the canyon as it has done for millennia. The canyon was formed by movements in the Tectonic Plates and by river erosion over millions of years. What you see today is a canyon over 161km long and 27km a c r o s s, a n d 5 5 0 m deep. It’s impressive. We have now travelled to the edge of the Namib Desert. We are staying two nights in a tented camp and not just any tent but one with a full ensuite. It’s known as Sesriem Desert Camp. With dawn comes our chance to travel through the world’s highest sand dunes. You can only enter the area after sunrise when the gates to the national park open, and here it comes, the biggest, reddest sunrise we have seen. As we travel in the mountains dunes line either side of the road. The valley floor is the colour of normal sand but the dunes are red and glow as if they are lit from within but it’s the light of that big sun that creates the wonderful effect. I have never seen anything quite as moving. The sheer beauty of it all just absorbs the mind, and this is a wonderful place to be. We’re heading to the Sossusvlei. It’s a salt pan, bright white colour with eerie dead trees in it and it’s right in the centre of the dunes. You can drive in but our guide invites us to walk in, after all it’s only a two and a half hour walk through the desert, and it’s getting hot. We set off. It’s quite flat and the beauty of the red sand dunes surrounds you. As we walk along, the light and colour of the

dunes changes from deep red to light. The going gets a little harder as the sand underfoot gets deeper and then we climb our first dune. I notice my breathing getting a little heavy as we climb but we make it to the top. The view is spectacular. Surrounded by the desert and dunes. Time to come down the other side. It’s steep but our guide just steps off the edge, digs his heels in and walks/slides down the face of the dune. We all follow, some more gracefully than others, but once you get the hang of it it’s fun. The walk goes on and finally we arrive
at the Sossusvlei. Originally a river flowed here but with the shifting sands over time the river was cut off. It became a water hole and finally dried up and became a salt pan, studded with dead Camelthorn trees. It’s quite eerie. The dead trees are said to be 700 years old. It’s something to see but having done the walk was it worth it? Yes it was a great experience. Will I sleep well tonight? ‘You betcha.’ *To be continued Until next time, Safe Travel’n. Geoff Vallance.
SECOND LARGEST CANYON… The Fish River Canyon is said to be only second in size the Americas Grand Canyon.

Jacobson revs into debut Bathurst race LOCAL racing superstar, Garry Jacobson has shined as a Supercars Championship Endurance Co-Driver at the Bathurst 1000, after racing the majority of laps for Mega Fuels Racing in the treacherous wet conditions. Jacobson began the Bathurst 1000 weekend on a high, finishing in position 10 against a series of experienced Supercars Co-Drivers in his first practice session Bright later finished in position nine in qualifying, and moved into position eight in the Top Ten Shootout the following day. Jacobson’s first Bathurst Supercars Race was highlighted by a starring drive in wet conditions where he powered into the lead for two laps in his first stint. Prodrive elected to run Jacobson for more laps than most of the other endurance drivers, with Bright doing fewer laps than the reigning Super2 champion. Jacobson’s skilled driving in the wet was applauded by many in pit lane, as he kept the car on-track and in contention for a podium for his stints in the 161 Lap Race.
The #56 MEGA Fuels entry was the highest placed Prodrive-run Ford FG X at the end of the day, with Bright crossing the line to give the duo a position eight result after seven hours and 15 minutes of racing. Jacobson and Bright are now sitting 14th in the Pirtek Enduro Cup Standings. Jacobson said, “I feel great. A top 10 on your debut at Bathurst is something to be proud of. “The first stint was just absolute great fun. I think Brighty did a really good job all weekend just keeping me calm and settled, and just helped me think clear and do what I needed to do. “Massive thanks to Prodrive for sticking with me. I was disappointed with my effort at Sandown, but when I got out of the car and got a good cheer after that first stint it was great to be able to give back a good result and a smile to the team.” Jacobson will now prepare for the final round of the Endruo Pirtek Cup at the Gold Coast 600 on October 20 to 22.

By Nicole Zurcas T H E Australian Junior Motor Championships took place in Horsham recently, with local, Madi Healey winning second place. The 13 year old was up against 16 competitors, some almost three years older in the 85cc 2 Stroke/150cc 4Stroke All Wheel Girls 12 to under 16 years category. Her performance at the national titles gained some attention from some big players in the MX racing scene, with Madi being the only girl offered a spot on the Victorian state team this year. With previous races a good indication of how Madi was going to ride, a podium spot was on her mind.
Madi said, “I was really hoping for first place, however I went in aiming for top two. This has been my toughest race this year.” The national race attracted competitors from all over Australia and New Zealand. Madi is aiming to one day compete internationally to earn her position on the Australian team. Mother, Penny Healey is proud of Madi’s accomplishment and said, “We wouldn’t have been able to make it this far without the help from Mel and Jo and AJ’s Motorcycles.” The season has come to end for Madi this year but she has her sights set on winning first place in Tasmania next year.
