New Locals On Wednesday 25th April, Lockington’s community service club, The Lions Club of Lockington, inducted two new members. Sponsored and introduced to the Club by Des Pentreath, were Dave and Mary Thomas, who came to our town recently from Sunbury. Having ven-tured out into the community and being accepted by numerous organisa-tions and volunteering at Lions events, the logical next step was to invite them to join the Lions Club.They were welcomed and made members of the Club by President Frank Chugg, With their refreshing inter-est and energy they have been warmly welcomed by the members.
SWAPPING A HARVESTER FOR A WIFE! Single farmers over 50 often find it hard to meet someone to marry and sometimes a bit of creative thinking is required, like running an ad to swap a John Deere 9750STS combine harvester for a wife of breeding age. This was the basis of the hilarious play Farmer Will Swap Combine Harvester For Wife staged recently by the Boort, Buckrabunyule and Charlton Players at the Kotta Hall. Around 60 people gathered in the historic Kotta Hall not fully knowing what to expect, particu-larly the number of us who are more acquainted with the polished productions in the lavished theatres of major cities. The scene was set well from the start with the parking around a John Deere harvester, grab-bing a sausage or rissole and chatting with locals on a very warm April night about the lack of rain. The play starts after the ad placed by Cyril Evans, the single 59yo farmer wanting a wife, has appeared in the Weekly Times. What unfolded was a series of comical events, a chance to correct the past and dealing with undealt issues. Woven throughout the play are many hilarious lines which people in the country could really relate to. Even Barnaby got a mention and we all learnt that Koolyanobbing is actually a real town in Western Australia, however when delivered in the play it certainly sounded like a clev-erly made up name, gaining huge laughs.
Amongst the laughs the play had a good message. Cyril learned that assuming something incorrectly 33 years earlier, meant he missed marrying the love of his life. The play also highlighted the importance of community in farming areas, looking out for and supporting each other in times of need. The B-BAC Players did a fantastic job staging the production. The characters were portrayed very well and it added that bit extra having lines updated and localised. Even hemp crops got a mention and that was without knowing some hemp industry members were in the audience. I hope they continue to stage Farmer Will Swap Combine Harvester For Wife in the district, as it is well worth seeing. I would certainly see it again. And Cyril did get a wife….but which one?
review by David Brian of Moama
The night was organised by the Kotta Hall Committee and president Andrew Christian welcomed and thanked all the patrons and the six actors, sound and light guru who held it all together, and back stage helpers. The hall committee is also grateful for the publicity generously given by the Locky News.
Thanks again, David Hammond , Secretary

Hello Everyone, The use of aircraft for military purposes had begun before the War of 1914-18, but fighting in and from the air saw rapid development from that time onwards. In the later part of the war, our soldiers, serving in Europe, wrote home of seeing airplanes involved in “dog-fights” above the battlefields. Whilst on leave in England, some had shared with Lon-doners the experience of taking shelter in the underground railway tun-nels, while German bomber planes attacked the city. Families at home would have been interested to read in the Weekly Times, on 19 Janu-ary, 1918, that six Australian Airmen had been awarded Military Cross-es. The report from England, went on to state that Australian “aerial officers and cadets” now numbered almost 600, and all continued to “shape finely.” The men selected for training as pilots needed to pass a very severe medical examination, as perfect physique and nerves were strictly insisted upon. However, despite great advances in technology and mechanisation, animals were still extensively used on the battlefields during the First World War. Horses, donkeys, mules, camels and even elephants were used to transport personnel, as well as supplies of weapons, ammuni-tion and food. About 500,000 cats were despatched to the trenches on the Western Front, where they killed vermin and were also useful in detecting gas. Canaries, being more sensitive to poisonous gas than humans, were used to check the air purity in tunnels, as their increased heart rate would indicate a danger. And, about 100,000 homing pi-geons provided service carrying vital messages across dangerous countryside. They were so effective that the Germans brought hawks to the front lines in an effort to bring the pigeons down. Thousands of dogs of a variety of breeds were used by the services, filling a wide range of needs, depending on their size, intelligence and training. Sentry dogs warned of any unknown or suspect presence in a secure area. Scout dogs went on foot patrols, where their keen sense of smell enabled them to detect an enemy as much as a kilometre away. Dogs worked as couriers, taking messages from the front to the rear as they were faster and less visible to enemy snipers than men. There were little dogs like terriers, hunting and killing rats in the trench-es, while hundreds of bigger breeds assisted in guarding prisoners be-hind the lines. Playing an important role, too, were casualty, or mercy dogs, trained to locate wounded soldiers on the battlefield. They carried medical supplies for those wounded who were able to tend to their inju-ries themselves and, should they find that an injured man was dying, they were trained to stay with him until he passed away. Horses possibly accounted for the greatest number of animals involved in the war. More than 136,000 were sent from Australia; sturdy, hardy horses, mostly from New South Wales, which became known as “Walers.” It was said that these creatures generally endured worse conditions than the soldiers, and were often exposed to the elements
without adequate shelter. More than half of the horses used in battle in the Boer War had been lost. However, losses are said to have been kept below 17% in the First World War, thanks to the army veterinary corps, but also to the assistance rendered by the Purple Cross. What the Red Cross was to the sick and injured service personnel, the Purple Cross was to the animals, particularly the horses. An appeal for donations to the Purple Cross appeared in the Weekly Times on 19 January, 1918, and may well have been read by our family members. For the benefit of those readers who were not familiar with the organisation and its work, a brief history accompanied the appeal. Here in Victoria, the group was first formed within a month of the decla-ration of war, and was known as “The Troop Horse Fund”. Its name was changed to “The Purple Cross Service of Victoria” after its affiliation with the international body, based in London, the aims and objects of which were totally in line with the locally formed group. Its purpose was to mitigate the sufferings of sick and wounded animals; to support the provision of veterinary base and field hospitals; to maintain a corps of qualified veterinary surgeons for first aid, transport, and hospital service; to provide horse ambulances for the transport of sick and wounded animals; to supply surgical instruments and veterinary appliances for the use of the military authorities and others who undertook the care of wounded and disabled horses; to secure permission for a corps of duly qualified men of the Purple Cross service to kill badly wounded horses left on the battlefield; and to maintain a number of inspectors for the purpose of searching for disabled and abandoned horses. I had never heard of the Purple Cross, but reading the newspapers of the time shows that its work saved a vast amount of injury and suffering. In assisting with its collections and supporting its fund-raising activities, families at home found yet another way to help the Australian troops who were fighting abroad. Thousands of bandages were made and sent overseas, along with water bags for use during active service. Money was raised for the supply of medicine, bandages, poultice boots, wither pads, and other 'comforts', as well as forage for the horses on the battlefront, and aboard the transport ships. Funds also went towards the provision of field ambulances, for veterinary equipment for the Aus-tralian Veterinary Hospital in France, and for the supply of veterinary instruments to the fields in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine. All were much appreciated and put to good use – “A sound horse could mean the saving of its rider’s life” and every effort needed to be made to ensure that men were well mounted when setting out on their difficult and dangerous missions. The Purple Cross Service was disbanded in the 1920s. It resumed its activities, briefly, during World War II. ‘Bye until next time Marg O’Brien.

Congratulations to
Graeme & Fay Haines on their 50
th wedding anniversary.
Following their marriage on May 11, 1968 at White Hills Methodist Church (now Uniting), Graeme & Fay drove to Brisbane for their honeymoon. Their homeward journey via Thredbo an unfortunate car accident caused them to abandon their plans and take a shortcut home to their farm at Tennyson where for 35 years they did cropping and raised beef cattle. In 2002 they shifted to Lockington. Their 3 daughters have presented them with 5
grandchildren.
Milloo CWA
There was a good attendance at our April meeting. CWA of Victoria is celebrating their 90th birthday this year, and the constitution is being given an overhaul to bring it into the 21st Cen-tury. Some members had queries on some parts, but mostly the
answers were found in the April posting or the magazine. There were some interesting snippets in the Magazine of events of the past, such as the “Wool Train” that toured 16 country centres in 1933 in the Wimmera and Western District. The train had on board six members demonstrating vari-ous crafts as well as other uses of wool and 4308 people visited the train. In 1934 it visited the Central and Goulburn Valley Groups. As I write, I think how different life in the country was back then, with most areas still without electricity, very few sealed roads and airconditioned cars or houses etc. Several scarecrows were made in various craft and these were displayed in the Business Centre, as they were not suitable to put with the other scarecrows. Catering for the Senior Citizens Birthday was finalised. Competition Results: Bloom – 1

SCHOOL NEWS
The Golden Wheel Trophy—Ride 2 School Day Every term Ride2School goes through their HandsUp! count data and searches for the highest average active travel rate in the state to award the Gold-en Wheel Trophy to. In term 1 it was our school LCS with an amazing 97.3% active travel rate during the week of Ride2School Day (23rd March 2018). On Tues-day Nick and Alex came from Melbourne to present the tro-phy to the whole school. One & All Inclusion (wear orange) One & All inclusion day will be held on Friday 18th May. We ask that all our students wear something orange and donate a gold coin to the worthwhile local project. Wristbands will be available to purchase at the school office for $2.00 each. We want to show our children what it means you take pride in living in a community that is Inclusive of One & All and who recognise people's abilities and strengths before any-thing else. Light Bulb Excursion Last Monday, our Grade 6 students were invited to Echuca by the Shire of Campaspe to help construct solar lights for those children and families that are ‘energy poor’ in Papua New Guinea. From the presentation, we learnt that 18% of the world population don’t have access to electricity or considered in ‘energy poverty’. Through the ‘Solar Buddy’ initiative, we were asked to construct a solar powered light and write a letter that would be sent to children in PNG. These lights help these children to be able to read and complete homework at night, while also helping their families at night time. We were then invited to the opening of the new solar panel project at Echuca Library. On top of the library, 100kw solar panels had just been installed. These solar panels will generate enough electricity for the library and when not in use, will offset the power of the Campaspe Shire main office, adjacent to it. The students enjoyed their time constructing the lights, knowing that these lights will make students, just like them, life a little easier at night. Thanks A big thank you must be given to Lyndall and Mikayla Johnson, Kate Thomson and Mel Haines for covering the shifts the school was allocated at the Lockington Tractor Rally held last weekend. These ladies assisted with the
cleaning of the Heritage Centre prior to the event and also helped out in the kitchen on Saturday. Thanks also goes to all of the parents and students who came along to our recent working bee and helped with tidying up the yard, spread-ing mulch, cleaning out sheds. The school is looking great. Soccer Tournament Last week our Grade 5/6 students travelled to Moama to compete in the Campaspe Soccer Tournament. We had three teams compete and they should all be proud of their efforts and achievements. It was a great day had by all and it is fantas-tic to see the LCS students repre-senting themselves and our school with pride. Thanks to Mel Haines and Donna Carnegie for coaching the girls team and to all other family and friends who came along to support the teams.
Well done Bowden Congratulations to Bowden Stone who travelled to Bendigo on Wednesday to trial for the State Football team. Bowden had a great day and enjoyed the experience trying out with a huge number of stu-dents from schools in Campaspe and Goldfield Divisions. Well Done Bowden.

Lockington Youth Action Group
“YAGers”
On the 21St
of April 28 local and some out of town families, children and businesses got into the spirit
and entered their Scare Crows into our scare crow com-petition. The competition was held on the same week-end as the Tractor rally. The winners of the eight catego-ries were announced in the last edition of the Community News. We would like to thank all of the entrants for par-ticipating and making such a great display, the independ-ent judges who gave up their time for a difficult job and the community for voting in the people’s choice category. We were very pleased with the interest that the scare crows created with visitors and people driving through town stopping to take photos. We would also like to thank the SHIRE of CAMPASPE for their support through the Victorian Youth Week and Community Grant, the Lockington District Business Cen-tre for their contribution and also the Lockington Heritage Complex. The winners can redeem their Locky dollars at Pen-treaths, Maria’s café, Helens Takeaway, The Ice Cream shop and the Hotel. We were inspired by four C’s - Community; Courage; Creativity; and Curiosity and to create a fun filled event that didn’t cost a lot of money to participate. We hope that Locky enjoyed the event maybe it will be-come an annual competition. Thank you for your support YAGers
In The…..Library
Have you ever found an item in a gar-age sale that you purchased because it intrigued you and you wondered about
it's past? Over the last few months I have been drawn to novels that the central part of the story is about an item and its secrets, its stories and the impact it has had on past owners and the person who now has it in their keep-ing. Precious Things by Kelly Doust is an exceptional example of historical fiction. It explores the story of an embroidered collar that is set on its way in Normandy France in 1891 and is then passed on through the next century to various people and places, from Shanghai and Malaya, until it finds its place in a box in an auction lot in Sydney. Maggie the auctioneer is drawn to the sparkly beady coronet and takes it upon herself to find out more about its past and in doing so it takes her on a path of discovering more about herself in the process. A terrific novel which was actually published in 2016 but this type of historical novel is be-coming very popu-lar. Other similar ones of interest are The Natural-ist's Daughter by Tea Cooper, Last Painting of Sara De Vos by Dominic Smith, and am just start-ing on newly released The Portrait of Molly Dean by Katherine Ko-vacic which focusses on a painting and its role in a past murder. Nothing like a bit of intrigue and some great research to make for a terrific read.

Lockington Bowls Club Report
April 30, 2018
The women have finished their weekly social bowls outing.
This week the game of Scrounge will take place on a Wednes-
day, commencing at 1.00pm. All bowlers and new bowlers are
welcome.
On Sunday the semi-final of the 21 Up Presidents trophy was
decided.
Don Isgro and Ken Main contested the semi with the winner to
play Ray Hanson in the final. Isgro gained the early initiative
with some brilliant draw bowling to have Main on the back foot
before Main gradually made his play and slowly bridged the
gap and level the scores, whilst winning eight ends in succes-
sion. Main was able to consolidate and win a berth in the final
with a 21-13 victory over Isgro. Hanson and Main will play the
final at 1.00pm on Saturday.
Members have been on the tournament trail this week with
Don Isgro and Russell Shawcross competing in the recent
Rochester - Campaspe two-day Pairs. The pair enjoyed the
hospitality and won a majority of games.
On Sunday Ray Hanson, Alan Kauffman, Shawcross and Isgro
(s) travelled to Ky Valley View for the "Gold Watch" Fours. Out
of the four games the team managed two wins and a tie with
the celebrated Rich River rink.
The Friday evening barbeque was well attended. Ray Hanson
left early before his name was drawn out in the lucky members
draw.
The club will hold the annual Presentation night on Sunday
commencing at 6.30pm for a 7.00pn meal. Names are needed
for catering purposes.
The Bowls Vic State Pennant championships were held at the
Moama Bowling Club over the week-end. Our local Bendigo/
Campaspe Regional hopes in Eaglehawk managed to win two
out of the five games played.
First round loss to Benalla 33-52 followed by a loss to Lakes
Entrance 33-49. The team defeated Queenscliff in a real cliff-
hanger 34-31 then followed up by beating Horsham City 58-38.
In the final game they lost to Warrnambool 37-43. Altona
played Queenscliff in the state final.
Report: May 7, 2018
The final club championship competition was completed on
Saturday. Ken Main and Ray Hanson competed for the 21 Up
Presidents trophy title with excellent greens and conditions
favouring the bowlers. In the early stages of the final, Main
was in tremendous touch winning seven ends in a row to have
Hanson struggling to stay in the contest. Hanson with sheer
determination and skill, gradually bridged the gap to level the
scores at 17 all. Both bowlers traded ends with the score line
very close. The final stanza resulted in a situation with scores
level at
20 all. On the last end Hanson was holding shot just centime-
tres from the jack, when Main delivered his final bowl to dis-
lodge the shot bowl and win the title 21-20. Both bowlers were
applauded as they left the green after a thrilling and enthralling
game of bowls. Tom Davis marked the game in his usual effi-
cient manner.
The game of Scrounge was played on Wednesday with a
small field of six players. Bowlers shared the spoils. Scrounge
will be played each Wednesday starting at 1.00pm. All bowlers
and new bowlers welcome to attend. Cost is $3.00 per player
and the duration of play is two hours (approximately).
On Sunday evening the club held the annual Presentation of

DEAN MITCHELL REACHES 300 GAMES AT LBU Saturday 6th May was a very special day for Dean Mitchell when he played his 300th game with Lockington Bamawm United Football Club. Dean started his career with LBU in 1983 at the age of 11 and continued through until 2000, when he made the move to Queensland, where he played on the Gold Coast for 12 month. He then returned to Victoria where he spent the next seven years with the Murray Bombers (Echuca) 2001 -2007. He returned to LBU for 2 years then he took on the position of playing coach with Leitchville/Gunbower, before finally returning to Lockington in 2010. By the time Dean turns 47 during this year, he estimates he will have played 490 games of foot-ball all up. He rates the camaraderie of the game, combined with health benefits of the regular exercise is what draws him back, plus the social aspect and having good health to keep going with it. He has been fortunate to be able to play along side Brother Corey for many years. He con-tributes his success to his Wife Kelly and children Keira, Heidi and Conor, plus Mum & Dad Lyn & Noel Mitchell for encouraging him to continue playing, which has led to such a long career.
Congratulations Dean on such a fine achievement.
