Nagambie celebrated its most inspiring community members and welcomed 1 new Australian at the 2021 Australia Day ceremony. The community came out in force braving the early morning downpour on a day where we recognize and salute all of those who by efforts small and large, remarkable and unremarked shape the way we live through their contribution to the community. Pina Gattuso is a hard working, long standing, well respected member of the Nagambie community and on this Australia Day has taken the oath to become an Australian citizen. Pina Gattuso arrived in Australia when she was five years old, with her mother, sister and brother. Reunited with their father in Cobram, Pina and her siblings attended the local school. It was during those school years that Pina first noticed a charming young Joe Gattuso. Pina did not pursue her highschool crush but many years later when working at the local bank, a regular customer (who happened to be Joe’s Aunt) decided to set Pina up on a date with her nephew, that nephew was Joe Gattuso. After courting for some years with Pina’s father chaperoning, like all great love stories, this one continued with Pina and Joe marrying and relocating to Nagambie making the town their home.

In 2020, Pina and Joe celebrated 25 years of marriage. They had planned to visit their home land of Italy for the first time since leaving all those years ago. Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic this was not possible. Australian citizenship represents full and formal membership of the community of Australia and the Australian citizenship is a common bond, involving reciprocal rights and obligations, uniting all Australians, while respecting their diversity. Deputy Mayor Melanie Likos said it was a pleasure to conduct the ceremony and officially, and finally, declare Pina Gattuso an Australian citizen. ‘‘It is a very proud moment in anyone’s life when the final step in the citizenship process is made,’’ she said. This milestone had been a long time coming for Pina but she was extremely proud to share the occasion with her family and friends. “Finally it's official. I’ve been here for 53 years, I am so very happy and grateful,” said Pina. Pictured above: Lake Nagambie Ward Councillors, Deputy Mayor Melanie Likos, Pina Gattuso and Councillor Reg Dickinson.

ROWING INTO THE FUTURE Dave Andrews

Whether you have noticed or not, there has been a fair bit going on down at the Buckley Park rowing shed. Nagambie Rowing Club is producing some fine young rowers and they are taking to the sport with great enthusiasm. We have previously written about the achievements of some of our young ladies, who are performing well at State and school girl level. Another group of young lads/men are also showing great potential and no doubt will soon feature at the ‘top’ of the sport, in the youth category and beyond. At 14 and 15 yo, they are already “punching above their weight�, equaling and beating youth several years older. They are also taking it up to the private school rowing community, who are advantaged with cutting edge equipment and more on-water and gym time. I caught up with their coach, Bill Day, and was interested to hear his views on the boys future possibilities. If you can remember back a number of years, Bill’s sons were particularly talented rowers and represented Australia in some premium regattas around the country. Tim and Will Day still enjoy and give back to rowing. Tim has established a boat and oar repair business, having learned his ‘craft’ at Sykes Racing. Will rows with Corio Bay men’s crews and currently has a coaching role at Melbourne Girls College. I was keen to ask Bill some questions and find out about his young team. WHO MAKES UP YOUR YOUTH SQUAD?

We have 6 lads aged 15 and 16 yo, who are rowing in U17 and ‘open’ grade events. Will Le Deux, Anthony and Hugh McKeown, Harry Palmer, Ben Shelton and our newest addition, Charlie Boyer. They are all Nagambie locals. WHO IS THE COACH? I am the main coaching feature, however they have had a lot of extra input from my sons Will and Tim, Tim Brew and Neville Smith, both experienced rowers/coaches from Melbourne. Bill says he sees most of them, but believes a variety of experiences is healthy. CAN YOU TELL ME YOUR BACKGROUND AND INTEREST IN ROWING AND COACHING?

I took a rowing machine out the shearing shed and incorporated running, push-ups, step up and alike, to keep them fit and engaged. They enjoyed it and it kept them fit and working together whilst staying apart. We often have little races and competitions between them, racing around the caravan park and back to the shed or skills training where they might row backwards for example. All good skills and importantly “fun�. They train about 4 hours at the course and have regattas most weekends. They also run and do exercises outside that. Ben, Hugh and Anthony also play cricket for Nagambie U16’s. WHAT ARE YOUR INTERESTS IN NAGAMBIE?

Our family has been here from about 1860, farming. I live in town but run sheep out at the Reedy Lake area, where my Great Grandfather did the same, back in the day. So you could call me a bona fide local. I’m not going anywhere and am fully invested in the town, having raised a family here and now enjoying giving a bit back. Well, thank you Bill, that has given us a great insight into some of our aspiring youth, and we look forward to following their progress in the future. Nagambie and districts has had a homegrown Olympian and a couple of Stawell Gift winners, here’s wishing them Best of Luck with their endeavours.

About 15 years ago my two sons showed an interest in rowing and so as it was their time to build their sporting careers, such as they might be. I spent hundreds of hours driving them to regattas and training, and as a result spent a lot of time with their coach, Neville Smith. Neville has coached many, ‘top’ athletes in various sports in his time, so came with great credentials. Neville was my son's main coach right from when they started, through to the World Cup in 2014. HOW OFTEN DOES THE SQUAD TRAIN EACH WEEK AND WHAT WOULD A TYPICAL WEEK’S TRAINING LOOK LIKE? They get two nights per week, on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30pm, as they already have ‘full dance cards’. It can involve on-water and land-based training, but I like to get them on the water whenever possible. Nothing takes the place of ‘match’ fitness. The boys have asked for an extra night for gym based training and we will introduce that shortly. When we were restricted during the ‘lockdown’

NAGAMBIE SENIOR CITIZENS

Our opening week went well, many thanks to those members who have come back to the regular activities. Line Dancing was well attended, and Maureen has been starting with some refresher dances for all of us who have forgotten them during the long shut down. Please come along and reconnect with all your friends and take advantage of the socialisation that we have all missed. New members are always welcome. Tai Chi has been given a reboot, thanks to Edna for starting everyone with the basics again. We watched a DVD on some of the techniques, and if you would like to have a try, come at the regular time of Tuesday and Thursday at 9 am. Many health benefits are experienced, and we are sure it will be popular with all those who give it a try. Our Get Moving Class has had a few new starters, this is a very gentle form of movement and all abilities are catered for. We will purchase some more light weights to ensure we have the equipment needed. We were fortunate to receive a grant from the Shire, and we are planning to offer simple computer lessons, or help with providing an internet style café, that members are able to come and check their emails or ask for some help if needed to understand simple tasks. A reminder about our Regular Activities:

DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY FOR PATRICIA AND ALAN PICKERING It is a fabulous milestone sixty years of marriage. It is a great example of love, devotion, patience, tolerance, and understanding; of helping each other through good and bad times. 60 years ago on February 4, 1961 Patricia Heaphy from Nagambie married Alan Pickering at St Malachy’s Catholic Church and they are happy that they can celebrate 60 years of marriage together, after enduring those years side by side. Pat was the 3rd child born to Dan and Mary Heaphy. She had a brother Daniel Jr, dec and sisters Julie and Maureen (Moz) who both still live in Nagambie. Pat and Alan were married by the late Catholic priest Father George Shanahan. Her sister Julie Baldwin was her Matron of Honour

and her friend Dorothy Deane (dec) was her bridesmaid. The groom was attended by his best man Darrel Baldwin – his brother in law and Bernard Kelly (Dec) as his groomsman. Their reception for 80 guests was held at the Valley Hotel in Nagambie (Now the Rowing Club.) Pat and Alan were blessed with four children, Michael, Justin, Andrew and Liza who live in Melbourne and they enriched the couple’s lives presenting them with 10 grand children. One of the great grandsons is named Steele. Great Great Grandad Danny Heaphy would have been so proud having a Collingwood name in the family. Alan played footy for Nagambie and Seymour and coached Seymour in the 1950’s while they

lived in Seymour and Alan was with AMP Insurance. He was selected in their Team of the century. He also played in Shepparton for a time under Tom Hafey. Pat was a good tennis player with the Nagambie tennis Club. She still plays now in her 80’s. Their boys played footy for Richmond. The couple now reside in Mornington but see their families when they can. Their Nagambie families of Pat’s sisters, Julie and Darrel Baldwin, Maureen (Moz) and Keith Fowler and all their families and friends from the district community wish them Happy 60th anniversary.

MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT NAGAMBIE VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE When Anthea Good moved to Nagambie from the Dandenong Ranges seven years ago she did not know anyone, nor much about the area.

tour to familiarise themselves with the region’s accommodation, dining, tourist attractions, events, and waterway access.

These days the five-year volunteer at Nagambie Visitor Information Centre, has a wealth of knowledge to share with tourists, and despite not growing up in the area, “feels like a local”.

While Ms Good has proudly played a role in the visitor experience to the region, she said volunteering had also helped her feel a part of the community.

“I love volunteering here. It’s definitely one of my favourite things to do,” Ms Good, 45, said. “I would encourage anybody with an interest in the area and meeting new people to Volunteer.”

“It’s helped me fall more in love with the area,” Ms Good said. I’ve met more locals and friends, as well as helping visitors to the region. I started volunteering two half days a month, but currently I’m volunteering up to two-and-a- half days a week because we need more volunteers.”

Strathbogie Shire Council has urged long-term and new residents to join the team at the Visitor Information Centre on the Lake Nagambie foreshore. Mayor Chris Raeburn said more volunteers were needed to cater for increased visitation to the region since the easing of Victoria’s COVID-19 restrictions.

Lake Nagambie Ward Councillor Reg Dickinson also volunteered at the Nagambie Visitor Information Centre when he relocated from Shepparton eight years ago.

“Whether you are a newcomer to Nagambie or a long-time local, you have a lot to offer by volunteering at the Nagambie Visitor Information Centre,” Cr Raeburn said. “Volunteering is a great way to learn about the area, share your knowledge with visitors, and help our shire’s economy to recover and thrive after the challenges of Victoria’s lockdowns in 2020.” Cr Raeburn said volunteers could choose to work as little as one morning a month or a whole day at the weekend, and new helpers were supported by experienced volunteers and Council staff. “COVID-safe measures are in place to protect our community and visitors alike,” Cr Raeburn Said. New volunteers also participate in a bus information

“It does not have to be a huge commitment, and you are contributing to the community, learning and meeting people as well.” Cr Dickinson said “the great view across the water” and the iconic Black Caviar statue provided volunteers, including many retirees, one of Nagambie’s most scenic working Environments. June Debono and husband John are among Nagambie’s newcomer retirees who found their feet in the town by volunteering at the information centre when they moved from the Mornington Peninsula. “As newcomers it was great because it helped us get to know the area,” Mrs Debono, 66, Said. After two happy years at the visitor information centre, Mrs Debono recently became the volunteer co-ordinator at the Mechanics Institute Op Shop

across the road. “Everything I learned at the visitor information centre has stayed with me, and if somebody wants information, I can still help them,” Mrs Debono said. “As newcomers, volunteering at the visitor information centre was great; I definitely encourage other newcomers to the area to volunteer there.” The fully accredited Visitor Information Centre is at 293 High St, on the Lake Nagambie Foreshore. If you are interested in volunteering at Nagambie Visitor Information Centre, email Strathbogie Shire Council on info@strathbogie.vic. gov.au or phone 1800 065 993. Anthea Good loves volunteering at Nagambie Visitor Information Centre and encourages more volunteers to join the roster.

PEOPLE DOING GREAT THINGS IN STRATHBOGIE SHIRE WERE RECOGNISED IN THE ANNUAL AUSTRALIA DAY AWARDS Ceremonies were held in Violet Town, Euroa, Strathbogie, Avenel, Longwood and Nagambie with award winners announced at each event.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor, Cr Chris Raeburn, said he was proud to be at the Violet Town ceremony as Councillor for the Honeysuckle Creek Ward. “Today we are recognising the people throughout our Shire who make it such a great place to live,” Cr Raeburn said.

“Through this year’s Australia Day Awards we have seen so many people step up to help others through this tough time. “It may have been sewing masks for those in need or providing food parcels to the vulnerable – all of today’s winners are an excellent example of those going above and beyond to help others.”

ROWING CLUB UPDATE Last weekend four of the six boys who make up the Nagambie boys rowing squad attended the Barwon regatta in Geelong. The weather was calm and hot and so was the racing. The two McKeown brothers, Anthony and Hugh, rowed together in the boys under 17 double scull. Although they combined beautifully, unfortunately they were just outclassed by some very experienced crews. The next event saw Big Ben Shelton, Hugh, Anthony and young Will LeDeux race their skiffs in the boys under 17 single scull. All raced well in their respective heats with the stand out being young Will who won the heat against Caulfield grammar and then the final against two established boys from hawthorn and a speedy racer from Gippsland grammar!! He of course was awarded a well earned gold medal in that event. Will also managed another gold medal in the men’s D grade single, another gallant effort.

Services will be held April 2 Easter Sunday services on April 4.

The last race for the squad was the under 17 quadruple scull where all the boys combined in the one boat.

Due to Good Friday being on April 2, the P.O.U.R Service at St John’s will be held on Friday, April 9.

Racing was fierce with many lead changes

The Lakers proud record includes the Goulburn Valley Football League, the Waranga North East Football League and the Kyabram District Football League. Members of the 1970 Nagambie Football Club Premiership Team that still reside in and around Nagambie enjoyed a reunion in December 2020. After months of lockdown it was an enjoyable afternoon that offered a taste of normality and plenty of stories of the past. It was in 1970 that a record crowd paid $543 through the gate to see the Lakers take the flag for the second year in succession to complete the season undefeated in the Kyabram District Football League.

NEWS UPDATE - AVENEL ACTION GROUP IS NOW AVENEL ACTIVE INC. 2021 is a new year for all of us and hopefully a much better one. For the Avenel Action Group, we have started the year off evolving in a new and exciting way. Now called Avenel Active Inc, we are officially an incorporated association, which will provide more funding opportunities beyond grants from the Strathbogie Shire Council and give us even more focus on making our town a great place to live and work. As Avenel Active Inc, we now sharpening up our pencils to proceed with gusto into a brand-new year with a purpose to advance the social and public welfare of the township of Avenel, Victoria and its people by: providing services and activities that encourage improved health, wellbeing and social cohesion advocating for and contributing to better amenities, and protecting and caring for the local natural environment. Please put the following into your calendar: A very special concert at the Memorial Hall with one of Australia’s leading chamber ensembles, Flinders Quartet on Saturday 20th March. Starting at 6PM, tickets include a meal with beverages for sale. The concert will start at 7.30PM. The concert is to support three local Fire brigades: Avenel, Upton Hill and Whitehead’s Creek. To be COVID-safe, there will only be 120 tickets, so don’t miss out! Concert posters will be placed around the town and tickets will be available soon through TryBooking. We will certainly let you know when! An initiative called “Get me to the shops” is commencing on 4th February. This service provides weekly transport to Seymour for Avenel residents who require help for shopping or other appointments. It’s a weekly service, assisted by the Seymour Bus Company who are generously subsidising the service with a 12-seater bus, driven by our own volunteer drivers. For anyone wishing to make enquiries, phone Jim Billings on 0433 270 101 Avenel Active has several other Special Interest Groups and one of these is Renewable Avenel Energy. This group has been inspired by the achievements of similar-sized towns such as Yackandandah which have entered into partnership with an energy company to create a stand-alone energy hub for their town. We have contacted key players for advice such as the Strathbogie Shire Council, the Victorian State Government’s Environment and Planning Committee, Indigo Power and our state MP, Steph Ryan and Federal Member, Damian Drum. These are exciting times with the achievable prospect of providing benefit to all Avenel householders and businesses while working towards sustainability and emission mitigation. One of the major tasks for groups such as Avenel Active is to seek funding to carry out our community projects. In the near future will be applying for a grant to provide help for older adults to use information communication technology (ICT). This includes use of computers, tablets and smartphones. Apart from the need to use ICT for internet-based services to access instant information, and to perform everyday tasks such as shopping, traveling and banking, older people can stay socially connected. With strong community support we hope to get a positive result for this important initiative. Membership to Avenel Active is open to all and you are welcome to join us for our monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm in the Memorial Hall. We encourage everyone to get involved and get active in our community! Enquiries can be made to our Secretary, John Hyland on 0400 466 201 or Chairperson, Jen Arnold via email avenactiveinc@gmail.com

ZEPHYRS FIRE ZEPHYRZ FIRE Brett Knight’s quick action to extinguish a fire taking hold on the switchboard at the popular Zephyrz restaurant played a big part in stopping the building from burning to the ground on the evening of Saturday 23rd January. It was a regular Saturday night, Brett and his partner, chef Carol Wakelam were preparing meals and attending to the needs of their patrons when they noticed the lights flickering in the kitchen. “The smoke alarms were beeping in the kitchen and I thought Carol had burnt something,” said Brett. They soon realised that something much bigger was unfolding.

“I noticed smoke near the electrical board and I quickly put out the fire with the appropriate extinguisher,” said Brett. “We evacuated everyone through the rear door into the beer garden and then out onto the Street,” said Brett. “The fire had burned through the switchboard and was very close to reaching the second story, we were very lucky,” said Carol. The fire brigade arrived to find the fire extinguished and the building evacuated, however the entire building was full of smoke. Fire-fighters wearing Breathing Apparatus and using a Positive Pressure Ventilation fan successfully cleared the smoke. Using a Thermal Imaging Camera checks were made to ensure that the fire had not extended into the roof and walls of the building.

Over the last few months Brett and Carol have been steadily getting Zephyrz back on track since covid19 restrictions had been relaxed but the fire has added another challenge. “It is what it is, we are just so very thankful that no-one was hurt and that the building is still standing,” said Carol. While Brett and Carol admitted to feeling shattered after the fire they would keep moving on. “We’ve had to cancel all bookings over the Australia Day long weekend and that will be a big loss, we’ve also had to dispose of a cool room full of produce,” said Brett. Brett and Carol are hoping to reopen as soon as possible and thank the Nagambie CFA with support from Bailieston and Wirrate brigades for their assistance.

DIGGING WITH DAVE

“VINES makes WINES” - What’s your ‘CAPER’ then? Well, I had the pleasure this week of an intimate tour of a ‘working’ vineyard. Situated on the Avenel-Nagambie road, just before the railway X-ing, is Box Grove Vineyard. The winery, come farm, covers about 400 acres, and snuggles onto Hughes Creek, which provides a lovely back drop, providing the plentiful wildlife with precious water. The property supports two houses, one for living and one for tastings, and can provide a very picturesque area for that ‘special’ event. “Osteria” is the tasting and get-together venue, and hosts a number throughout the year. Now, an osteria (Italian pronunciation: [oste ria], plural osterie) in Italy was originally a place serving wine and simple food. This fits in nicely with the general theme of the vineyard, which produces a number of Italian grape varieties, both whites and reds, to give it a distinctive “point of difference” to all the other wineries in the district. Sarah and Viv have been working owners for 25 years, and along with their three permanent staff, work solidly to ensure a great product and a memorable experience. They predominantly supplied fruit, being grapes, until that contract ended in 2008, and a rethink of the vineyard’s direction was needed. With so many notable wineries in the district, it was important not only to maintain the high standards, but be prepared to work outside, what was considered the ‘norm’. To establish this direction, Sarah went to Italy for the authentic Italian experience, to see the grapes and vineyards “in situ”. This decision paid off and Box Grove now boasts 5 Italian, 5 Southern French and 2 Portuguese varieties. These have been producing now for a while and are proving very popular with the public and several local restaurants. Sarah is passionate about the district and subscribes to “agri-tourism”. This is not new per sae, and is where

agriculture and tourism intersect. Not really a farm stay, but where people visit a working property, typically a winery, and experience all the local produce. So for example, you arrive and have some morning or afternoon tea made by the local farms.....bread, milk, cream, jams, honey, pates’, beverages etc, get a tour of the property, return for lunch or dinner, where you enjoy local meats, vegetables and other foodstuffs, and of course a local wine or two. If you do stay overnight, then locally gathered eggs, bacon and avos await. Now it’s not all about getting “smashed”, no reference to the avos. Non-alcoholic beverages are available and encouraged. In 2011 it was apparently so cold, wet and humid, that to get anything to ripen properly was a real challenge. Sarah called it the year of “being nimble and on your toes”, and so investigated and made ‘VerJus’. Again not an original idea and you may recall that celebrity chef, Maggie Beer, brought it to prominence again some years ago, when she experienced her own unripened grapes. So pick, crush, settle, filter, bottle, all in a matter of weeks. It is a great spirit mixer but also used in ‘mocktails’ (non-alcoholic cocktails). On a hot day of visiting the vineyard, Sarah will often present guests when they first arrive with a refreshing VerJus, soda and lime, over crushed ice, to quench their thirst and awaken the taste buds. It can be sweetened naturally to taste, as it is sour, and can be used in the same way you’d use lemon juice or vinegar on food, but it is gentler. It is proving very popular in some of Melbourne’s top restaurants and adds yet another dimension to the business. To the ‘grounds’ and what a lively and lovely area it is. The property was originally chosen by Mr Blayney, who was one of the founders of the district back in the middish 1800’s. He planted a number of Elm trees at the time, as they apparently reminded him of his homeland. Of course they are ginormous now and have been placed on the ‘register’ for significant trees, after a visit from Phillip

Morse of the Melbourne Botanical Gardens Board. Also of note are several Red River Gums, that are thought to be between 300 and 500 years old! How do you know their age, I hear you say? Apparently the span of an adults hands from fingertips around the circumference equals 100 years. It took nearly five outstretched men around the trees’ base, before fingers could be touched, so conservatively you get an idea of age. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAPERS ARE? and what they can be used for? If you were anything like me, you’d never tasted one and thought they might go in a salad. I got half a point for the salad, but was well short of the full extent of their uses. Again whilst on her European working tour, Sarah saw Capers growing out of crumbling church walls, amongst other places, and reckoned they must be ‘tough’ and would grow just about anywhere. She was right and on her return sourced a bloke in South Aust, whose Churchill Fellowship produced the ‘Eureka’ variety. Fifteen plants promptly arrived and found a new home in the disused sheep yards. Can’t have the pickers bending over to ground level and getting a sore back, so fill in the yards with soil and home-sourced compost, creating a raised garden bed, and away you go. Hopefully if a picture has made it in, you’ll see a pea-like berry, attached to a stalk, which is snipped at the base and collected. Now it is exacting if not tedious work, however out in the fresh farm air, birds, dogs and cattle to observe, it’s not such a bad thing. I was required to ‘work for my rewards’ (being a Caper tasting) and found it quite therapeutic. It was hot and dry and slow work, but the container gradually filling kept me going. I pointed out a couple of white moths amongst the bushes. Sarah told me this was the Caper Moth and it was currently causing havoc up in the Riverina area. Sarah sprays with an organic compound, which seems to do the trick. It

has just a 24 hour ‘active’ period, so picking can resume after that. It is a relentless job, as if they are left too long, they get soft then flower, so no Capers as such. Sue, the main picker at present, tells me it is like ‘painting the Harbour Bridge’. Just as you finish the bays, next day they’re back out and you start all over again. Now the Capers are salted in containers, which draws out the bitterness, and turned regularly. They are eventually packed in a brine, in 270gram jars and distributed to local retailers. Again they are proving popular with local businesses, as a garnish or flavoursome additive to a variety of dishes. Now to the well-earned Caper tasting. Sarah likens the taste to a “burst of sea air, a smack in the face with a wave!” That’s far too descriptive for me, however I do see her point. Very aromatic, salty, tasty.....I went back for seconds and fourths. The real value of Capers is what they add to other ingredients, without being offensive or overpowering. I can imagine a bruschetta with crushed tomatoes, onion, fresh garlic, basil and capers, Yum. Viv produced some pasta sauce he whipped up using much of the above ingredients, and boy was it good. I did a similar thing that night and scored some much needed ‘brownie points’, delicious. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my couple of hours of almost ‘agri-tourism’, I must get the full experience soon. I find myself well short of printing space, as I haven’t included the many more interesting anecdotes I picked up during my time. Hopefully there will be another opportunity to show you those. Thanks again Sarah and Viv, love your energy and innovation - ‘be nimble’.

Strathbogie has also acted promptly to repair extensive bird damage to the Nagambie oval. Without their support home matches were to be played at away venues as the ground was unsafe for cricket as well as football training. Due to the repair work the club was able to stage a Sponsors and Donors Day on January 23. The club is indebted to the many generous sponsors and thanks to all who attended an enjoyable day.
