Belinda Horsley
Memorial Tribute UNVEILED
At Skipton Hospital last week, members of the Hospital Board invited friends and family of much loved Director of Nursing Belinda Horsley and people of the wider community to afternoon tea and the unveiling of a special tribute to Belinda.
Belinda commenced her role as a nurse at the Skipton and District Memorial Hospital in 1990, quickly becoming a valued member of the nursing team. As well as being a significantly talented nurse, Belinda also dedicated herself to the consistent growth and improvement of the local Health Service and openly showed her passion in seeing the opening of the nine bed “Brigadoon Hostel”.
In 1996 the Ripon Memorial Hospital and the Skipton & District Memorial Hospital merged to become Beaufort and Skipton Health Service. Belinda again dedicated herself to support the new look Health Service B&SHS, and the two communities that it served.
In 2002, the refurbishment building project commenced at Skipton and Belinda played a significant role as the senior nurse representative in developing the existing Skipton campus.
Just two years later, Belinda was appointed Director of
Nursing of the Skipton Hospital where she passionately held this position until she retired in 2018.
Belinda and her husband Trevor, lived in the Skipton community where they raised their family and dedicated themselves to the town and district.
Belinda will always be remembered, respected and admired for her enduring commitment and outstanding contribution to Beaufort and Skipton Health Service during her 28 years of professional community service.

Looking for Boots for Riding!
Riding for the Disabled
Ballarat have just received a
grant from the
Ballarat City Council, which
has been put towards keeping
our riders safe
with new helmets.
But some young riders still struggle to find sturdy
boots to wear, and
we wonder if any Skipton families have outgrown
boots that might help?
Best are classic elastic-sided boots with leather soles
and heels, but there
are excellent styles with zips and straps that are just as
good. which would
keep our riders feet secure and safe in the stirrups.
Any donations gratefully received, smaller sizes
especially, please contact Lilla on 0437 455 049,
I can pick up and would love to take them in to our
regular Friday sessions in Ballarat

HAVEN’T HEARD FROM THE ANGLERS FOR SOME TIME Have you Ever Tried This As Bait?? K
I went fishing one morning, but after a short time I
ran out of my prawn bait. Bugger!
Then I saw a red-belly black snake with a frog in his
mouth. I said to it, ‘Good on yer, Cobber’. (Frogs are
really good barramundi bait.)
Knowing that the snake couldn't bite me
with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him
right behind the head, took the frog off
the teeth, and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the problem was; how to release the
snake without getting bitten.
So, I grabbed my traveller’s bottle of Johnnie Walker
Black Label and poured a moderate amount of
whiskey into its mouth. The snake’s eyes rolled back
and he went limp.
I released him into the lake without
further incident and carried on fishing,
using the frog as bait.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot.
It was that bloody snake again, with two more frogs.
Let me know when you start back again and possibly I can publish your competition dates for people to join the fun if you
give me the various details and contact details.

Round 8 saw us take on Clunes at home with 3
wins from 7 games.
Yet again our under 13 section did us proud, with our 13b girls
winning 17 to 4 against a tiny Clunes side. We certainly had a
height advantage in this one and the awards went to Lyla
Molloy, Clara Phillips and Matilda Neville.
13as probably had their hardest match yet coming up against a
very tough and physical side. Our girls played strong clean
netball and did well not to get caught up in Clunes rough tac-
tics. Awards in the 13 to 8 win went to Lillian Barr, Cate Con-
nell and Holly Draffin.
The under 15 and 17 girls for Clunes were big girls and al-
though our girls tried hard in both games and there was some
solid play we were not good enough to match it with them. 15s
final score was 11 to 29 with awards to Silver Victorsen,
Gemma Richardson and Tess Bingham. 17s the awards went to
Jenna Walsh and Annie Elliott in the 11 to 44 loss.
Senior reports:
C-Grade started off well, only going down by 2 in the first
quarter. Second quarter they continued to fight but the girls
eyes where low and they seemed to become flat and they didn't
have the i r norma l f lo w d o wn the co u r t .
Considering this they did show off some very nice passages at
times.
Best on went to Narelle Larkins who puts her body on the line
each and every week. And Tash Whiteside who produced
strong drives in the mid court helping the ball move fast down
court. Skipton 32 def Clunes 42.
B-Grade came out firing against a top eight position team from
Clunes. A great fist quarter saw us only down by 1 goal at
quarter time.
Clunes came out fast in the second quarter and we were caught
flat footed and the pulled away by a considerable margin by
half time.
The emus fought back in the third and out scored the magpies
on the board, but the damage had been done.
A good last quarter saw us fight it out to the very end and the
score didn’t really reflect the effort put in throughout the game.
Best on court with a consistent game was Amy Lodge.
Backed up in defence with some great intercepts and rebounds
saw Nat Clarke take out second best.
Keep fighting Emus. Skipton 18 def by Clunes 49.
A-Grade had a fantastic start to their game with intense pres-
sure throughout the court. Hands over the ball and ring side
intercepts created turnovers that our girls were then able to
convert to goals.
With the Clunes defence creating turnovers of their own, it was
never a one way affair but with tight defensive pressure by Liz
Williams and Sophie Draffin yet again and being well sup-
ported by Fiona Collins in centre court and strong shooting
from our goalies we managed to increase the margin in the
third before a level 4th quarter led to a 40 to 26 goal
win. Great feeling to get another team win on the board with
the awards going to Liz and Sophie for an amazing day in de-
fence.
With a weekend off next weekend to enjoy the long weekend,
we then take on Learmonth at Learmonth for a tough day out!
A large and boisterous group of members of the 2009 premier-
ship side ventured out to Skipton on Saturday to have a ten
year reunion, and catch up with everyone at the club. Many
thanks to Tim McKay for chasing everyone up and bringing
them all together for a great day.
All sides rose to the occasion, putting on a display of football
that hopefully reassured our premiership heroes that the club is
continuing with their legacy.
Under12s returned to the winners circle, kicking 4.3-27 to Clu-
nes 1.0-6. There were some great passages of play, including a
highlight being the number of our players helping out the oppo-
sition. The game was played in great spirit, with some of our
players taking the opportunity to slide through the muddy patch
at both 50 metre lines, before, during and after the game.
Awards to Kobi Richardson, Cooper Cahill and Harry Collins.
Under15s have given themselves a buffer in eighth place at the
halfway mark of the season. Whatever happens from here they
have been so impressive in the way they go about their football,
and it would be a fitting reward for coach and players to solid-
ify the chances of a finals appearance even further. Awards to
N. Cooper, M. Boyer and J. Pittman.
The reserves had another good win, putting themselves on
equal points with the top two sides and are gradually chipping
away at the percentage advantage of those teams.
We didn’t have it all our way however, Clunes led at the first
change, and seemed to be causing some concerns for Skipton.
Skipton made the best of the slight wind advantage, kicking
away in the second quarter and increasing the margin thereaf-
ter. Final score
Skipton 14.9-93 def Clunes 9.2-56.
Best were Tom Miller, Scott Robson, Brad Uwland, Jackson
McPhan, Tim Gawyne and Tom Bertalli.
By this stage in the day the returning 2009 players were start-
ing to find their voice, offering sage advice to our reserve play-
ers, and even more wisdom as the seniors ran onto the ground.
The Emus had a steady start, being a little inaccurate in the
first, kicking 4.6 to Clunes 2.3, but put the foot down kicking
5.6 and 6 in the next three quarters, to finish with Skipton
21.13-139 def Clunes 8.10-58.
Curtis Townrow had a tally of eight goals earning a position in
the best, along with Andrew Pitson, Lachie Johns and Cooper
Henson.
Another break awaits us next week, followed by an away trip to
Learmonth. Hope to see all there, and also at the annual ball,
which is to be held that evening at Molloy’s woolshed.
GO EMUS!! & GO EMU-ETTES!!

Have your say on draft
Mt Noorat Management Plan A draft of Mt Noorat’s first ever Management Plan has been
released for public comment after Councillors endorsed the
plan at last night’s Corangamite Shire Council meeting.
The draft Mt Noorat Management Plan sets out a vision of
what the 146 hectare site will look like in 30 years’ time,
becoming a ‘destination known for its geological and
natural values and experiences, where culture past and
present is understood and respected, and where access is
provided for all to enjoy’.
Central Ward Councillor Helen Durant said the draft plan
was the result of wide-ranging consultation with the
community.
“Council received 215 survey responses on the future of
Mount Noorat, demonstrating that the community is
passionate about the site,” Cr Durant said.
“People love the mount for the uninterrupted views, the
peace and quiet, to be in nature, and to appreciate the
natural geology and history of the area.”
Key objectives include: Protect and enhance the natural
values of Mount Noorat; provide quality visitor experiences
that reflect the character of the site; Aboriginal and
European history is understood and respected; walking
tracks are accessible, well maintained and cater for diverse
experiences; the financial management and governance of
Mount Noorat is self-sustaining.
Cr Durant added the Management Plan recognised the
balance between enhancing the visitor experience and
protecting the natural values and character of the site.
“I think this plan is a good reflection of what the
community wants because of the broad input gathered at the
development stage”.
“Now it is time to look closely at the document and any
feedback needs to relate specifically to what is in the draft
Plan,” she said.
The Mount Noorat Management Committee was formed in
2018 after the estate of Niel
Black gifted Mount Noorat to Corangamite Shire in 2017.
Cr Durant said the Committee would be responsible for
carrying out actions in the Management Plan once adopted
by Council.
“The idea is that Mount Noorat is managed in the best
interests of the community and that it remains a valuable
and accessible community asset in years to come,” she
said.The draft Mt Noorat Management Plan is available
online at www.corangamite.vic.gov.au
Hard copies of the plan are available at the Civic Centre and
Terang Library.
People wishing to make a submission can do so via an
online submission form or in written form to:
Corangamite Shire, PO Box 84, Camperdown, 3260.
Submissions close 5 pm, Friday 12 July.
