• The Victorian Government has announced a further $100,000 toward the completion of the Yarrawonga-Mulwala Respite House. Yarrawonga-Mulwala Respite House Committee chairman, Jim Smith, said the funding will ensure the completion of the project without the need to borrow and was a fitting reward to the local community, who had contributed over $620,000 to the respite house appeal. • In an outstanding game of O&M A Grade netball, Yarrawonga came out with all guns blazing to make sure their undefeated season
October • The 2010 Yarrawonga Mulwala Spring Show has been hailed a stunning success. Bronwyn Harris, secretary of the Show committee, said how pleased the committee was with the gate takings. • Yarrawonga-Mulwala and district businesses were officially

They led right from the first whistle to run out 12 goal winners in front of a big crowd at Lavington Sports Ground. • While farmers check rain gauges and gleefully count millimetres, Bundalong residents and those downstream of the weir are bracing for possible floods. A bountiful start to the Spring rains saw farmers from across the area record rainfall of up to 50mm. North Mulwala recorded 34mm, Yarrawonga 24mm, West Tungamah a whopping 50mm and Telford 38mm over the weekend. • Yarrawonga Football Netball Club president Glenn Brear was proud but reserved when accepting the award for the Ovens and Murray Football Netball League’s Champion Club at the Morris Medal dinner on Monday night. It was a memorable night for the Pigeons with Brandon Symes tying for the best and fairest award in the reserves and Matt Grinter winning the reserves goalkicking award.

Co-ordinated by the Rotary Club of Yarrawonga-Mulwala, the successful event saw 14 businesses take out placings in seven different categories. • Lauren Clyne is team captain for ‘Hargraves Solicitors and Families’ at this year’s Relay for Life to be held at the JC Lowe Oval on October 15 and 16. Lauren has a very special reason for participating in the Relay. Her mother, Heather died in 2008 from bowel cancer and Lauren will be marching in her honour. • Local sporting identity Shannon Debono has returned triumphant from the Victorian Schools Championships at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre where she represented Sacred Heart College. Shannon fought her way through to the finals beating the top competitors from WA, QLD and Tasmania. Shannon won the grand final in convincing fashion and is now the top table tennis player of her division in Victoria.
december • Leadership at the Moira Shire Council remains unchanged going into the 2011 year with Councillor Ed Cox being re-elected as mayor and Councillor Alex Monk as deputy mayor at a special council meeting in Cobram last Wednesday. • Behind a cheeky grin and quick wit Coen Ashton, 13, hides a lifelong struggle with cystic fibrosis. He shrugs off talk of the inevitable double lung transplant he faces and instead jokes about doing tricks on his jet ski and scouting around for a new girlfriend.
November • More than 5,000 spectators were left stunned on Lake Mulwala foreshore after the tragic death of a popular boat racing competitor on Sunday. Boat racing came to a standstill when the boat ‘Rival’ driven by John Cross from Traralgon flipped, catapulting him out of the boat with Mr Cross sustaining fatal injuries. large crowd will attend to enjoy this classic • Yarrawonga & Border Golf Club’s British comedy.
