Simon Marks “Big River, Little Stories”
Regional Victorian Tour
Simon Marks has reunited with some of Australia’s finest musicians, including Ben Franz (The Waifs) and Syd Green (19-Twenty) to record his fourth release - “Big River, Little
Stories”.
Marks began his career with an invite to perform at the West Coast Blues and Roots Festival and from here, this engaging live performer has toured the globe and Australia playing to a loyal saddlebag of followers at festivals, concerts, bars and everything in between. Recently relocating to a small town on the banks of the Murray R8iver, inspired Marks to write and record “Big River, Little Stories”. Life among the majestic red gums by the river’s edge evoked the albums theme, based around the area, its people and
the move to life in country Victoria.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you On Shrove Tuesday, St Patrick’s staff & Learners walked down to IGA as we do every year, to make pancakes to raise money for Caritas. It went pretty well. Everyone at St Patrick’s contributed and raised a total of $157.25 by going to the businesses in Pyramid Hill. Thank you to the community of Pyramid Hill for their support and helping us to raise money for those who are not as fortunate as us. Thank you also to Laurie and Lisa for allowing us to set up in front of IGA. Brodie O'Toole Social Justice Leader St. Patrick’s Primary School

Performing at the

Shirley ValentineShirley ValentineShirley ValentineShirley Valentine by the award winning Willy Russell and starring
Mandi Lodge (Menopause The Musical, Just the
Ticket and Always...Patsy Cline).
Shirley Valentine is a wonderfully entertaining
monologue by a 42-year-old Liverpool mother
whose self-esteem has been battered by school,
marriage and life in general. When her best friend
wins a Greek vacation for two, Shirley grasps the
chance to head for the sun, to re-find herself,
follow her dreams and to get a new lease on life.
With much humour, warmth, sympathy, human
insight and a great deal of empathy for his female
protagonist, Willy Russell brilliantly shows
Shirley breaking out of the mould in which she
was cast by society.
“This play is a modern classic and its theme of
achieving your full potential remains universal and
very relevant today.”
- Director, Denny Lawrence
This project is supported by the Victorian
Government through Creative Victoria.

Leader of The Nationals and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh has issued an invitation to the constituents of the Murray Plains Electorate to visit Parliament House
for the
Open Day on Sunday 19 March 2017
between 10.30 am and 3.30 pm.
“This is great opportunity for people to have a look at Parliament House and the gardens,” Mr. Walsh said. “Visitors can see Queen’s Hall, the two Chambers, the Parliamentary Library and enjoy a walk through the gardens. “There will also be a variety of musical performances to be enjoyed in Queen’s Hall and the gardens. “The architecture of Parliament House, especially the Legislative Council Chamber is quite remarkable. Over the years there have been refurbishments to the building, but the Council Chamber remains one of the finest examples of the style of building of its time and is well worth a visit.” Mr Walsh said entry was free and there would be exhibits from all departments.
“The annual Open Day provides a perfect
avenue for Victorians to see their
Parliament and to gain an appreciation of
the grandeur of the building,” Mr Walsh
said.

Nothing to report this week as our guys forfeited their match; and only one measly chicken joke. What did the rooster say to the chicken as it was about to cross the road? “Don’t do it, kid. You’ll never her the end of it.”
Saturday Pennant: Last Saturday the first and second semi-finals of the Northern District Bowls Division competition was held with the following results:
Division 1
Kerang 8-66 defeated Leitchville 4-64 - a game that came right down to the wire and went well into over-time with four dead ends to be replayed. Cohuna Golf 12-81 had a comfortable victory over Cohuna 0-54
Division 2
Cohuna Golf White 10-72 defeated Barham Services Blue 2-65 by just 7 shots. Cohuna 8-81 defeated Kerang 4-78 – another tight finish.
Division 3 Cohuna Golf 2-73 narrowly lost to Kerang Blue 10-77 Barham Services 2-60 were just pipped by Kerang White 10-63. Very few points separated most of the teams giving the spectators much entertainment. This week the Preliminary final will be held at Kerang with the following teams taking part.. Division1 = Cohuna Golf v Leitchville Division 2 = Barham Services Blue v Cohuna Division 3 = Kerang White v Cohuna Golf
A/C Fours Tournament Report:
What a magnificent day we had last
Wednesday when 14 teams took to the
greens in high spirits (even though the
bar doesn’t open until 12:00). The
place looked picture perfect and the
weather was kind to us, at last.
Gracious thanks to our generous
sponsors – Moama Bowling Club,
Riverina Bowls & Leisure Wear, &
Laurie & Barb Forde at Gunbower
Roadhouse. Added to their sponsorship,
Jo Eagles brought along her yummy
cakes to add to the raffle prizes. Being
a Star Day each of the Northern District
Clubs was represented with the
inclusion of teams from Boort and
Rochester. After the playing of four
games of eight ends there emerged only
one four game winner- the dynamic
Cohuna combination (J. Maddox, A.
Ainger, T. Hancock & P. Crichton)
who were still on a high from their
recent Mid-week Premiership. Runners
Up were also from Cohuna (M.
Meredith, M. Main, E Lyons & M
Gruar) so it was a clean sweep to the
Cohuna folk. They managed to pip
three other teams who also had three
wins and a loss. Before the start of play
all bowlers rolled to the spider: our
own Graham Moon knew exactly
where to roll and Pam Gould from
Boort took the other prize. A consola-
tion prize was awarded to the team who
did their best but didn’t win a game.
There were two teams in that category
but Gayle Teasdale’s team from
Kerang did it best. Other prizes
included: Lucky Lead – Lorraine Reid,
Lucky Second – Shirley Forbes, Lucky
Third – Marg Bath, Lucky Skip – Marg
L’Huillier. Raffle prizes went to
Shirley Forbes, Linda McManus, Pam
Gould, Bev Woods, Graham Moon &
Wendy Cooke.
Special thanks must be extended to the Catering Committee and their band of workers who did an amazing job. The selection of salads was something to behold, the fresh fruit salad was delectable and the array of slices and cakes for afternoon tea meant no-one went away with an empty tummy and our Club’s reputation for putting on a magnificent spread was still well and truly intact. Thanks to everyone who contributed in any manner at all; it was a very successful outing! Club Competitions Congratulations to Lionel and Andy who took out the Men’s Pairs title with their win over Beau and Graham. They will go on to compete at District Level on March 12th. Ladies Pairs, draw from the bank, competition was played on Tuesday March 7th. Congratulations to Jenny Emenson and Glenys Broad who came out winners (another trophy for Glenys to dust). It’s been a winning year for Glenys. Well done to Kate and Rose who were the Runners Up.
Elders’ Pairs Tournament: Wednesday 8th March is our tournament generously sponsored by Elders and Mulquiny Fuels. Watch for het repot in next week’s Press.
Bus Trip:
A date to put in your diary is the 26th March when we will bus across to the Moama Bowling Club for lunch and some good social interaction. Book your seat on the bus by notifying Lionel of your intention to come along or put your name on the list at the Clubhouse. This event is open to anyone.
Board Meeting
The next meeting of the Board is scheduled for Tuesday 5th April at 8:30pm. Please note the change of starting time due to the conclusion of daylight saving.

Tennis Victory for Yarrawalla
Match Report
Experienced on the big stage, Ross and Lloyd Maxted battled out the first men’s doubles set against Leigh Forster and Mick Prior with Calivil North winning 7-6 in a tie-break. Calivil North went on to win the remaining top three men’s sets with Ross and Leon Strachan winning 7-3 against Leigh Forster and Matt Moon and 7-4 in the final top men’s set. Rowan Broad and Heath Emmerson responded winning the first bottom men’s set convincingly 7-1, followed on by a geared up Mitch Dingwall winning the next sets 7-4, 7-4. The men’s sets ending with Yarrawalla a total of 34 games to Calivil North 30 games. Michelle Balic and Lynley Strachan came out firing winning the first ladies’ set against Chelsea Emmerson and Chelsea Broad 7-1. Michelle and Bec Cullen went on to win the next ladies set 7-4, while Chelsea Emmerson and Deb Forster responded in the third set to win a tie-break against Bec Cullen and Lynley Strachan. Yarrawalla’s Kim Lister, Lauren Moon and Emily Prout cruised through the bottom ladies’ sets winning 7-2, 7-3 and 7-3. At the conclusion of the Men’s and Ladies’ doubles the underdogs Yarrawalla had a slight lead of nine games.
Due to other commitments, the mixed sets were played
outside the normal order. Premiership favourites Calivil
North came firing back winning the top mixed sets 7-0, 7-
6 and 7-1. Rowan and Chelsea Broad came off winning 7-
4 against Leon Strachan and J.O’Brien. Mitch Dingwall
and Lauren Moon winning 7-5 against Craig Lister and
Kylie Henrikson, leaving scores tied with one set
remaining on court. It all came down to the final match of
Heath Emmerson and Kim Lister against Daniel Balic and
Paula Maxted, while both teams watched nervously on the
sidelines, the Yarrawalla duo managed to bring home the
final set in a nail biting 7-5 thriller, leaving Yarrawalla
victorious by 2 games.
Members of the 2016-17 premiership team ages range from club stalwart and captain Michele Schmidt down to up and coming third generation player 14 year old Bradley Moon.
The tight knit team held an emergency meeting just weeks before the season was to begin, making the decision to leave their beloved cement pond courts; land that was originally donated to them last century by Walter Ogilvie and move into the Pyramid Hill courts to enable the competition to be viable. The Yarrawalla family was elated after their unexpected win, all except for Nostradamus aka Mitchell Dingwall who confidently predicted the premiership drought ending last August. The premiership-winning plan was born the weekend before on Yarrawalla’s 19th annual end of season bus trip to Goor-nong where they participated in team bonding and used the bus trip to strategize. The junior competition started in 1964 and since then they have been successful at different stages winning A and B grade premierships. A number of the present Senior Premier-ship winning players participated in these grand final wins as juniors. Unfortunately, our juniors were under-manned Saturday against a talented Lake Meran team.
Long live the Yarrawalla Tennis Club!

Attention Dog Owners
Exercising Dogs in the Pyramid Hill College
Grounds
It has been noticed that there is an increasing amount of “dog poo” around the playground area of the College. It is totally unacceptable that our students should be subjected to such unpleasantness and unsanitary conditions in their play area. Could all dog owners please refrain from exercising their dogs in the school grounds.
Further action may be necessary,
should the problem continue.

Snippets from the Pyramid Hill Advertiser
March 11, 1942
Misses Elsie and Effie Clarricoates,
Loddon Vale, have received grateful
acknowledgment of Xmas hampers
forwarded by them to 11 members of
the Fighting Forces overseas. The
funds for these gifts were gathered at
an entertainment organised by the two
young ladies mentioned.
Congratulations to the members of the
Younger Set for raising £10 at their
social last week to assist the patriotic
Blood Bank fund. The weather was
exceedingly hot but this did not
hamper a large crowd from thoroughly
enjoying the well-organised dance and
card party.
Fun and pleasure should be paramount
at the St. Patrick Night's celebration in
the local hall next Tuesday, and a big
gathering is anticipated. Old time
dances will be featured in the dance
programme, and Irish airs by a Boort
orchestra will set toes a'tingling arid
hearts aglow. Good cash prizes are
offered for those taking part in the
euchre tournament, and all will be
served with supper. Proceeds are for
the Catholic Welfare Circle, whose
members are constantly preparing
hampers and other comforts for
members of the Fighting Forces
A welcome home social is being
tendered to Pte. Herb Wilson and his
bride at the Durham Ox Hall tonight.
Call to Arms
All men up to sixty Years to Register
Rejected from military service because of physical unfitness and determined to serve his country in the important work of munitions, Walter Morrison is about to take his departure from the district. Fifteen years ago he was nominated by Mr Andrew Blow when the “Little Brother “movement was initiated to bring boys from Scotland and establish them in Victoria. Upon arrival, he was placed with M. Ken McKinnon and it speaks well for both employer and employee that the association has continued unbroken in happy relationship. Mr Angus Blow taught Walter to play the pipes in which art he became very efficient, and later for a term became Pipe Major of the local Pipe Band, also be appointed official piper to the Caledonian Society. He has also represented the society at the annual conferences of the Victorian Scottish Union. The young Scot has also figured prominently as a golfer and carried off many honours in that sport. Mr Morrison was entertained by the Caledonian Society at a parting social at McIver’s Café on Monday evening and received a gift from members. The president Mr AL McGillivray conveyed good wishes to their guest and expressed a fervent hope that when the war dies down he may come back to Pyramid Hill. Mr and Mrs Jack Butterworth were overjoyed last Thursday to receive a telegram from their son Gordon, announcing his safe arrival at an Australian port. Gordon was attached to the Australian Air Force in Malaya, and the story as to how he effected his escape has yet to be learned. Mr Tom Larkins has also received good news of his son Mat, who was wounded when the AIF went into action in Malaya. Mat has arrived in Colombo. He also mentioned having seen Claude Brown in the Malayan jungle, the latter suffering a wound in the head in a brilliant
action with the enemy.
VX33942 Mat Larkins didn’t make it
to Colombo. Sadly he died during the
Japanese advance through Malaya.
