More Country Music Please…
“We want more Sunday afternoon Country Music events” was encouraged by visitors and locals who went to Lock-ington’s Community Centre to enjoy the music of Antho-ny Tenace and Jimmy Johnson on Sunday, July 23. Un-fortunately ill health forced Rino Morea to stay at home but thankfully Jimmy was only too happy to join Anthony. Fans of the musicians and dancing, people from Tasma-nia, Dingee, Bendigo, Kyabram, Echuca, Gippsland etc joined the small number of loyal ‘Lockingtonians’. The dance floor had couples doing a variety of dancing in-cluding line dancing, rock ‘n’ roll, fox trot and waltzing. There was music to satisfy all musical tastes. Locals are encouraged to come, see and hear any future events like this, which includes the big week-end in August. (See the advertisement). Please book now particularly if catering is required.

Hello again, Everyone. In reviewing the accounts of World War I that were reaching the people living here a hundred years ago, we have arrived a critical period. By late September, 1916, there would not have been a town or district across the whole of this country that was not being effected by the war, and most of the young service personnel from Australia would by then have been in France. A letter from one of them was published in the Rochester Express on 22 September, and said in part, “Life in France is of course vastly different to Anzac and Egypt – far more dangerous as well. Our boys are making their presence felt…” but the soldier had added that they were “eagerly looking forward to the time when we can once more wander down the streets of Melbourne and Sydney.” The casualty lists had become longer, and one of those most recently received had brought home to our particular district the serious nature and consequences of the fighting. It in-cluded L Cpl Malcolm J Cochrane of Diggora West, killed in France, and Pte W J C Williams of Ballendella, wounded. An “In Memoriam” service for Lance Corporal Cochrane, held in early October at Tennyson Presbyterian Church, saw the church “filled almost to its utmost capacity.” The Reuters Agency news from the Western Front indicated some late successes, but stated that the allied forces must continue to “push on with fortitude.” Local recruitment was ongoing, with the Express on 16 October, 1916, reporting that G F Lumley of Bamawm had enlisted. An earlier edition stated that Mr William Fair, Teacher, at Bamawm had passed the medical examination and was accepted for mili-tary service. Despite the local Recruitment Committee hav-ing stated that practically all available men in the district had already enlisted, the authorities “urged the Recruiting Ser-geant to use strong measures to bring slackers to sense their responsibility.” Fear of the effect that a British loss would have on our own country was in part responsible for the pressure to enlist – “If Germany should succeed, Austral-ia would be first to fall into the hands of the enemy.” But, there was also the fact that reinforcements were much need-ed at the front. It was reported that, at Pozieres, some of the troops were fighting for 8 ½ days without relief, greatly in-creasing the risk to their lives. Throughout October, the Express continued to publish war news received by letter, as well as the reports from Reuters. One letter from a soldier in France told of the success of the “British push” though noting that “it is a push still”. He felt that the Germans seemed demoralised by the Allies’ artillery. At the start of the war, the Germans’ superior artillery had been a decisive factor in their success, with the British seem-ing to have been caught almost off guard. That the Allies were now able to access artillery of such high standard ap-
peared, in this particular soldier’s estimate, to surprise their enemy. A letter from another local soldier, whose service had taken him to Belgium, was full of admiration for the amount of la-bouring work being done by the womenfolk there and in France. Most of them, he said, dressed in black and had obviously lost family members in the fighting. There was general hardship, with it seeming difficult even to obtain clean water. He noted that the numerous churches and shrines across the countryside indicated that the people were deeply religious. In the meantime, at home, the new Bamawm Railway Station was being put to good use to truck out the local wool clip, and the orchards in the irrigation areas were reported to be coming along well. On 7 November, 1916, the Express car-ried a report of a successful local event : -
“A concert, in aid of the Tennyson School Patriotic Fund
was held in Mrs O'Brien's Hall, Tennyson, before a crowded
house. The items given by the children were very good in-
deed, without any show of nervousness whatever, which
helped to advantage the results of their good training by their
teacher, Miss Fullerton. The programme was helped materi-
ally by an old scholar of the school, Mr Lindsay Munro. The
various items of the programme were:—Mrs Stein and Miss
Worner; recitation, Kathleen Cox; song, Mr Munro; song,
Merry Little Cooks; schoolchildren; recitation, Miss Betty
Devine; song, Mr Summers; song, schoolchildren; recitation,
Miss Cassie O'Brien; song, children; song, Mr Cathcart; reci-
tation, Janet Windridge; song, Mr Munro; song, Bessie Sei-
ersen; song, Mr Summers; recitation, Alma Scurrah; dia-
logue, the children. Mr Sinclair, in moving a vote of thanks,
said that the school had collected £4l for the funds, and
would benefit by £ll on that night. Mr Gladman auctioned the
pot plants and flowers after the concert. Cr Ham gave satis-
faction as chairman. The evening closed with a dance.” That must be all for this fortnight. ‘Bye until next time, Marg O’Brien

New Beginning At Milloo
Teresa and Ian from the Milloo church... We just wanted to let peo-ple know who we are etc. A little introduction... Ian Dennis is originally from Tumbarumba NSW and myself Teresa Jasper is originally from Bunnaloo/Moama NSW. Ian worked as a jack of all trades with the local Real Estate in Tumbarumba keeping up with the maintenance and gardening which he is really missing, along with his local school bus driving. I Teresa am a Program Manager for VACCA and I work alongside of DHHS in Child Protection. We purchased the Church with an idea of living in it and it will be our beauti-ful family home. We love the old style and appreciate the hard work that was put into making the church the beautiful building it is today. Ian will be the project manager for all the local trades whom we are using along with his own skills, to make the Milloo church into an comfortable home for ourselves. We have to date been very happy with the trades but still looking for roofer? So feel free to contact us if you know someone. J. We both love the area and the beautiful little towns surrounding. After talking to the locals in Lockington, in which my daughter works at the local hair salon, we thought it would be a great start to pop something in the Locky News so locals will know who we are. It is our promise to the community that we will love, cherish and look after the beautiful building we feel honoured to call home. And on a little side note feel free to contact us if you would like to pop in and say hi. And if you are looking for a handy man for any little bits and pieces or gar-dening give Ian a call. Feel free to contact myself on 0456457777 or Ian on 0447960794. Respectfully Teresa Jasper
Milloo CWA
In July several members of the Dingee branch joined us for a bring and share lunch we were celebrating CWA international month , the country of study this year being Denmark we were fortunate to have Leanne Welsh from Calival take time out from her busy schedule come and share with us the trip she and two daughters took to Denmark last November –December . Her younger daughter having qualified to compete in the world “ Kettle” weight lifting cham-pion ships .Being the off season for tourists Leanne was able to give us an unimpeded look at their time spent in the cities were they were able hire bicycles and visit the sights unimpeded by crowds, she concluded her Den-mark show and tell with brief stopovers in London and Paris . An enjoyable afternoon and lovely to to be able to enjoy the fellow ship with a sister branch The Dingee Branch closed several years ago but reopened in 2016 it is nice to see the women from quite an area surrounding Dingee now coming together to enjoy friendship and working for their community, the li-brary service in Dingee being one of their projects.

LCS NEWS
We have had a great start to term 3 with many exciting things happening including athletics sports, Somers Camp and our school production. This year our school production is title ‘Locky Turns the Page’. As the title suggests the production is all about books! The students are working hard to learn all the songs and dances. The production will take place on Thursday 14th
September there will be further details in the next community news. Tuesday marked 100 days of Prep for our Prep stu-dents. They are all learning so much, both academi-cally and socially. The future of the Lockington com-munity looks bright with these children! Oh course one of them recently told me they are lucky to have the best teacher in in the universe in Jenny Howlett! Last week students from the Junior Department travelled to Echuca College to take part in an Indonesian Immer-sion Day. It was a great chance to learn more about Indo-nesian culture and heritage. Students watched a Penta-wasik performance, where they observed some traditional dance, music and stories. They were then able to ask the performers questions. Following this, students took part in several workshops with students from other schools in the area. Thank you to the Echuca College for making this day possible.
This week students have been taking part in daily gymnastic sessions as part of the Sporting Schools Program. The sessions have been con-ducted by Gary Black from Gymnastics4Hire in Mel-bourne. Students have enjoyed
learning new skills and challenging themselves. A big thank you to Gary for returning to LCS to conduct the sessions. Gary has now been to LCS for the past 3 years and was once again impressed with the positive attitude, behaviour and willing-ness to have a go by our students. Over the holidays we had a clean out of some store rooms at the school. We found so many things! We found the meeting minutes to the mothers club meeting dating back to 1953. Back then the mothers club had 72 mem-bers. Members were on a roster to provide supper and it sounded like a very social occasion. There are many fa-miliar names in the minutes some with great grandchil-dren or grandchildren attending LCS today! A exert from the minutes: Notes on Birthday (Mothers Club Birthday) afternoon held 2nd
March 1955 The first birthday party afternoon was held in the Locking-ton Memorial Hall on March 2
nd. There were approx. 120
present. Visitors came from Rochester, Nanneella Estate, Nan-neella West, Ballendella, east Loddon and Pannoo. Mrs Keele made the cake and Mrs J McMinn decorated it. Mrs Minard, Mrs Ryan and Mrs Crow made the shoulder sprays which were presented to the artists and two mem-bers from each visiting club. The President (Mrs J Haines) lit the candle on the cake, Mrs E Hann (Secretary) extinguished it, while Mrs Camp-bell (head teachers wife) cut the cake. A committee of eight ladies organized the social entertainment. A most enjoyable afternoon for all.

Tuesday, 18 July 2017 New Echuca Moama bridge a step closer Construction of the new Echuca Moama bridge is another step closer with roundabout works set to begin, Nationals State Leader and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh says. Mr Walsh congratulated Echuca company RECivil, which has been awarded the contract to build a new roundabout at the intersection of Warren Street and the Murray Valley Highway in Echuca as part of the new bridge project. “The Warren St intersection is an important gateway connecting communities and businesses between Echuca and towns along the Murray River, and Moama in New South Wales,” Mr Walsh said. “When locals see this work start, they will finally be able to see the project that the Liberal Nationals started in 2014 is going ahead.” The former Victorian Liberal Nationals government committed $96 million for the bridge project in July 2014, but the project stalled under Labor. In 2016, Member for Murray Damian Drum and Minister for In-frastructure Darren Chester secured a further $97 million from the Commonwealth because, like the Victorian Liberal Nation-als, the Federal Liberal Nationals recognise the importance of a second river crossing for Echuca Moama. “The new bridge is a desperately-needed, major infrastructure project for our community that is vital to easing congestion on the current bridge and making sure liveability in our region con-tinues as our population grows,” Mr Walsh said. “It is The Nationals in government, both at a state and federal level, that brought this project to fruition after years of Labor governments stalling and delaying.”
Friday 28th July 2017 Blackouts predicted in Murray Plains Electorate Leader of The Nationals and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh says that Daniel Andrews’ closure of Hazelwood Power Station threatens to cause blackouts in the Murray Plains elec-torate this summer. As the first summer without Hazelwood approaches, experts predict Victoria will not be able to generate enough baseload energy to keep the lights on during the peak summer period. “Daniel Andrews’ ideological warfare over energy has already seen the average Victorian family’s annual power bill jump by $300,” Mr Walsh said. “Average wholesale prices have risen 300 per cent in the last six months and many regional businesses are facing staff cuts or even closure because energy costs have become unsustaina-ble.” The Andrews Labor Government’s only plan for energy is to hire consultants and ‘mentors’ for businesses, choose go-it-alone renewable energy targets, and bring in a $252 coal tax which drives generators out of business. But none of these policies will increase baseload power or make energy more affordable.

What's Happening
At Lockington Neighbourhood House The Men’s Shed If you think for one sec-ond that you haven’t got the skills to join the Lockington Mens Shed – then think again.
Paul arrived at the shed at 9.00 am with a tem-plate, some small piec-es of timber and a cou-ple of lengths of dowel. By late morning his ‘Dune Buggy’ was start-ing to take shape.
At 3.00 pm Paul’s project was ready to be painted and delivered to his grandchild. A family heir-loom had been created. The Lockington Mens Shed is about tea, talk and tools. It’s a place to enjoy a cuppa, meet some new friends and if you wish, create something special to take home. Open every Tuesday from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm.
Scarecrows A scarecrow making workshop coordinated by Lockington Neighbourhood House during the recent school holidays provided an afternoon of fun. Local children and youth were joined by those who were visiting their grandparents to design and create some scarecrows for our new com-munity edible garden. Adding the final touches.
Welcome to Locking-ton’s newest residents. The Scarecrow family has taken up residence in the community edible garden which is taking shape behind the old plumber’s shed.
Feeling pretty pleased with our efforts.

Lockington Bowls Club Report 24/7/17
The popular Scrounge event has been played on a Wednesday over the past month with just the one week lost to inclemant weath-er. Last week Norm Bacon was the leading scorer on the day with 49 points to win ahead of Les
Brereton on a splendid 46 points. Bev Brereton was the other winner on 43. The previous Wednesday Annie Haines stole the show after amassing an incredible 58 points to grab the spoils. Les Brereton won his rink after tallying 52 points while Alan Kauffman defeated a star studded rink to win on 36 points.
Bacon was impressive in scoring 58 points early in the month to add to his trophy cabinet while Ray Hanson 57 and Dingee visitor Norma Thomas 51 picked up an award. Scrounge will continue on a Wednesday starting at 1.00pm (weather permitting). The club was saddened to learn of the passing of Keith (Mick) Brown recently.

Brown was also runner up in the Club championship on two occasions as well as winning the CVBA Mixed Pairs with Mary Dullard. The club is inviting members and new bowlers to register for the CVBD 2017/2018 Pennant season. List are availa-ble at the clubhouse.
