3 A Pleasant Surprise Opening a new business of any description requires plenty of planning, a fair degree of skill and an earnest desire to care for customers. Opening a brand new business from scratch requires all of the above and more. The good news is that it is open and operating successfully- located in the service lane on the Kiewa Valley Highway, Tawonga South in the cute little shopping complex that is Nourish Whole Foods and Flour + Water Restaurant. The new business is beautifully named Wonderland Emporium and that probably best describes what the business is. It is not a coffee shop and yet it provides a comprehensive range of coffees and a menu full of Black Teas (like Golden Monkey), Herbal Teas (like Chamomile Blossoms), Oolong Teas (like Taiwan Ginseng Oolong), Green Teas (like Honey Dew Green), White Teas (Lemon Cooler) and Chai Teas (Masala Chai). Also on offer are Iced Teas (Merry Mint). Add to these in the drinks department we can have Smoothie of the Day, Beechworth Apple Juice or San Pellegrino Mineral Water. It is not a restaurant and yet the menu is so very interesting. Whilst limited, it changes regularly and should be sampled to develop your appreciation. Small Bites can consist of House Cured Olives with sourdough, or House made Labne with crackers The Beauty Bowl is the seasonal best and can be Curry on Wednesdays, Vegetarian WONDERLAND EMPORIUM on Thursdays and Ramen on Fridays. The Japanese style Pork Belly Ramen last week was excellent. The Peace Plate is also seasonal and can offer tasty delights as simple as Chicken and Leek Pie with salad. The Produce Platter can be for one or two people and comprises fine cheeses, housemade dips and is described as enticing antipasto style eating. A Vegan Produce Platter is available on request. And, to finish off, there is a display cabinet choc-a-block full of cakes, desserts and even some vegan treats. Scones, jam and cream also make the mouth water It is not a gift shop - and yet there is a range of gift-packed Honey Bird coffee and it is not a florist yet there is a range of flowers available and flowers can be ordered as wreaths, bouquets and for weddings. It is not an art gallery and yet the walls are adorned with a delightful showing of local art at the moment by Margaret Jordon. Shanaya New, proprietor Jodi Mann and Megan New. Pic Ken Bell This presentation of local art will change on a regular basis. Wonderland Emporium is just that a surprising package that has a something for everyone. From dining inside to seating on the verandah and taking in the views. One pleasant surprise are the clean hand-towels in the facilities. No paper here just clean, folded hand towels for your comfort. Wonderland Emporium is the brain-child of Jodi Mann with the support of husband Scott. Jodi is supported by her mum Gail who visits regularly and controls the books. Helping in the kitchen is Shanaya New and out the front is Megan New with a steadily growing team. Wonderland Emporium is currently trading Tuesday to Friday 9am to 5:30pm and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. Closed Sundays and Mondays.

4 GOLF NOTES Autumn Fun Activities Thanks to everyone for making the Easter Activities at the golf club lots of fun which proved to be enjoyable for all who attended. For the rest of April, the Monthly Medals for the Men and Ladies will be held on Saturday 7th followed by the Men s Yellow Ball comp, which always proves to be popular and a lot of fun, well most of the time anyway unless it is your turn to play the Yellow Ball. Saturday 21st April will be a most interesting day with the President s Choice being staged. This year it is rumoured that NOURISH - Organic Wholefoods OPEN: Tues: 10am 5pm. Sat: 10am 1pm Fruits - Nuts - Seeds - Grains- Flour - Honey - Oil - Bread - Eggs - Coffee & Pantry Staples. Large range of Organic Gluten Free!!! Ph: Fb: facebook.com/nourish Whole Foods 167 Kiewa Valley Highway, Tawonga South Winter s Calling! Blankets are warmer! Get everything ready for winter now at... President Stephen has chosen a Bisque Par format for the day. In this format the player can stipulate how many of his handicap stroke he wishes to allocated to a particular hole e.g. the player may wish to take 2 of their strokes on the 11th hole instead of their usual one which their handicap allows them. However, the player MUST be mindful that once they have used all their handicap strokes they must play any remaining holes off scratch, i.e without the benefit of any usual strokes they may receive on the hole. Sounds complicated but will not be once we get under way. This format will prove to be very interesting and adds another layer of decision making and strategy to the game. The last couple of months has been exciting at the Club as we have had 2 Holes-in-One, on the same hole, the 17th. First up on Boxing Day last year was Roger Church and lately, on the 17th March, was Dave Browning. Congratulations to both of them and thanks to Tate s Funeral Service for their sponsorship of this phenomena by the way of a $200 cheque to the recipient. One Annual event that, in the past, has not captured the imagination of the Men as much as this year, was the Red Tees Championships in early February. The difference this year was that all who dressed Hole in One Dave Browning on 17th March, following on from Roger Church s Hole in One on Boxing Day last both on the 17th hole. Pic Courtesy the Golf Club. as a Lady (and I use that term loosely!) were given a 2 stroke advantage to their handicap. The boys took to the Op Shops around town, and their wives wardrobes, to attire themselves befitting the day. Suffice to say that all had lots of laughs, some had lots of hits, with eventual winner Dave Browning doing so without the handicap benefit in a tense 3 hole play-off with Roger Church - watched raucously, as would be expected, from the balcony by all the girls! As you can see, we do have a bit of fun up at the Golf Club. It is not all serious comps and rivalry. Everyone and anyone is more than welcome to approach any member of the club to learn more about how to join us on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sunday for golf and social contact, or call into the Tawonga South Newsagency and speak to President Stephen about it all.

6 FALL LINES England s Elite Train at Falls Decorated middle distance runners Charlie Grice (ENG) & Kyle Langford (ENG) have headed to the Victorian Alps at Falls Creek in preparation for the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. The training group chose a three week camp at Falls Creek as their preferred training arena for the added benefits of altitude (sighted by several elite running teams prior) along with solitude in the mountain village allowing concentrated training blocks with a minimum of distractions. Both athletes have set their sights on medals for the Gold Coast Games in April in the 800m & 1500m distances. The pair have also made a few side trips to the athletics track in Albury in the three week training camp. Both athletes will compete in preliminary races in Brisbane before the much awaited Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in early April. An interesting aside for the Games is that, teams from the UK will be representing their own country, England, Scotland or Wales, whereas for the Olympics, they would all compete under the UK banner. Our favourite media man, Chris Hocking was able to supply the images and get video coverage on two local stations, 9 Regional & Prime news. We think that WIN ran it on Monday. 6 Falls Creek Hours 10am - 5pm Mon - Sat. 10am - 3pm Sunday. 10am - 5pm Mon - Sat 10am - 3pm - Sunday England s Kyle Langford and Charlie Grice spent three weeks training around Falls Creek prior to heading to the Gold Coast for the Commonwealth Games.

To achieve this, learning how to get off your Auto modes is a huge step in the right direction. Join me on one of my photography workshops to really get an understanding of your camera and the potential you hold in your hands. During the weekend I will show you and help you to understand shutter speeds, aperture, shooting in manual mode, The affect different lenses have on your photos, fill flash, composition, how to correctly expose your photos as well as some of the editing and workflow techniques that I use. The final workshop for summer is on the weekend of April 14th &15th. Costs are MOTORING TIPS Regular Servicing Our car is like our body. We must look after it all of the time - not just when something fails. Regular servicing will identify when items are wearing (brake pads, tyres, filters, hoses etc). These and other wearing items can be replaced before they let us down on the road. Imagine discovering (too late) that your Brake Pads had worn out - just as you re heading for the tree. Regular servicing is important for the good health of your vehicle - and for your good health and safety!

The exhibition will comprise 13 acrylic paintings framed in Australian mountain ash ranging in size from 1524 x 2034mm to 760 x 1014mm and 15 gouache plein air works are framed in Tasmanian oak that are 508 x 610mm and 356 x 457mm. Alison spent time on the high plains over Easter painting plein air for the exhibition with the last two works produced while on the mountain over at Rocky Valley Lake. A Good Friday Appeal Another year - another amazing total for our local community. This year we collected $11,300 towards the Royal Children s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. It was amazing to see many smiling faces on Friday morning turn up at the CFA Shed in Lakeside Avenue to volunteer to collect. From the local Scout and Cubs to family and friends all turned up to help out. Without the support of these people and our local CFC from Mount Beauty and Tawonga this collection could not happen and we thank you so very much. Thanks also to Susan Ikin who donated a major raffle prize - which, is worth mentioning, all prizes were won by locals. Then, the biggest task is the counting of Rocky Valley Lake Two by Alison Percy (gouache, plein air painting 508 x 610mm) all that money so a huge thanks go to the local Commonwealth Bank team of Meryn Deans and her staff. Meryn has been assisting with the collection for many years, overseeing the counting to ensure the tally is correct and the girls at the branch who confirm the numbers. The organisers of the local collections appreciate the time it takes to do this.
