The concert will follow an exciting two-hour jazz workshop opportunity for local vocal students in the region. Director of the UHCM, Adam Wills, said, Janet has a rare an enviable reputation as a jazz vocalist and like Diana Krall she doubles on piano. We are really lucky to have her visit as part of our 2013 Visiting Artists Series. Based in Sydney, Janet Seidel has released 17 CDs in Australia as well as overseas. In the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD 2006(UK) she is described as Australia s first lady of jazz singing and equally revered in the cabaret world. New York s Cabaret Hotline stated, I had heard so much about this delightful star from Australia, but I was still not prepared for this awesome performance. I have never been so thrilled by a performer since Barb Jungr this lady is amazing such pure clean vocals! Janet has been performing jazz oriented material since her high school and university days in the 1970s, has had the fortune of performing alongside Australia s best jazz musicians, and has travelled the world wowing audiences throughout with her extraordinary talent. Now she brings her Trio (including David Seidel on double bass and Chuck Morgan on guitar) to the Upper Hunter for one performance only at Muswellbrook South PS Hall.

8 the equine trend & more Thoroughbred Racing Snippets Bred to be very fast: Lot 111 at the Brisbane Yearling sale Sunday February 17 account Gainsborough Lodge. Like all the 52 from this top stud and the 24 in the catalogue from Thoroughbred International to be offered without reserve, the yearling is a brown filly by the Hennessy World Champion Sprinter HENNY HUGHES (USA), sire of 2012 Champion American 2YO filly Beholder and from I M A DEVIL TO, winning half-sister by SEQUALO to the Australian sprint star and good sire FALVELON. American Eclipse Awards Flavoured by Hennessy America s historic Eclipse Awards, an annual measurement of racing excellence inaugurated in1971, for 2012 announced last week had a distinct flavour of Hennessy about them. Both Wise Dan, the 2012 Eclipse stand out Horse of the Year, and Beholder, the filly who waltzed away with the title of the best juvenile of her sex, are by sons of Hennessy, a Storm Cat sire who visited Coolmore in the Hunter Valley from America in four successive seasons. In addition, Hennessy, himself one of the two highest ranked American juveniles of 1995, the only year he raced, is the paternal grandsire of Trinniberg, a 3-year-old colt who has been named best male sprinter of the year. Conquerer of older performers in the $1.5million American Breeders Cup Sprint on November 3, Trinniberg is by Teuflesberg, a good class miler by Johannesburg, a Hennessy champion European 2-year-old who was sent to Australia five times by Coolmore, , for about 400 foals. He did not serve in 2007, being sent back home in September because of the equine influenza outbreak. First Command Brings More Respect for Modest Import s Family Nearly forty years ago English bloodstock agent Richard Galpin (Newmarket Bloodstock) shipped a small number of mares of modest credentials out to Australia and both he and some of the buyers were well rewarded when they were offered through an Inglis sale in Sydney. One Hunter Valley stud to reap benefit from the experiment was Gyarran, a well known breeding operation at Muswellbrook operated by Jack Sheppard and his son John. Regrettably both died in the bloom of life. At the sale they acquired what was to become their most successful broodmare, Sheeaun, a winner of one minor race in England at nine furlongs by the provincial class sire Continuation. Ancestress of two first class Danehill sprinting three-quarter brother grandsons in First Command (a Listed winner at Flemington on Saturday) and One World (a new sire last season at Larneuk stud, Euroa, Victoria), Sheeaun became the foundation of a strong Australian family for the Sheppards. Scone Studmaster Well Rewarded for Doubling up Easy Date Adopting a pattern with his young sire Zizou, a leading Australian 2-year-old of , of inbreeding to a plain looking mare of modest racing ability by the name of Easy Date who changed hands three times in less than four months in1984, has reaped a big reward for Hunter Valley breeder Stuart Ramsey. It came in the shape of a bay colt, Marseille Roulette, produced for Ramsey on his Turangga stud near Scone being successful at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday in the $250,000 Inglis 2YO Classic for their Sydney Classic Yearling sale graduates. Experience. Sound advice. Positive outcomes. We think that just about covers it!

10 leisure & lifestyle Bugs and Plagues - Why Do We Live Longer Than Ever Before Dr Norman Swan, ABC radio and television s multi-award winning producer, broadcaster and entertaining speaker will be coming to Scone on Saturday, March 2 at the Scone Bowling Club from 7:00pm to 9:30pm as a guest speaker and panelist on a discussion panel moderated by local ABC Radio announcer, Mike Pritchard. Dr Swan has hosted the ABC television program, Quantum, been a guest reporter on Four Corners, produces the popular Health Report and Health Minutes and is known and respected internationally as a health reporter and researcher. Dr Swan s presentation will take us on a fascinating journey through history to answer the question why we live longer now than ever before and how that s changing. Bernie Rischke, project officer for the Scone Neighourhood Centre said, we re very excited about bringing someone of Dr Swan s reputation to Scone where people will have a chance to be entertained and informed with his sometimes quirky but always interesting wealth of knowledge about medical matters. His tour through history to answer why we live longer now than ever before will be compelling and instructive. Tickets are available from the Scone Neighbourhood and Aberdeen Neighbourhood Centres for $10 per person. Proceeds from the night will be used to support future Neighbourhood Centre projects. The presentation and discussion will be followed by tea and coffee and a chance to meet up with the speakers. For additional information please phone Tocal Waiting List There is a waiting list on all of Tocal s courses for The demand for Tocal courses this year has been extremely high, Dr Cameron Archer, Principal said. We look like having the highest number of students in residence for many years. The quality of applicants and interest and commitment to study in agriculture and horse husbandry is second-to-none. We are very pleased to have this level of interest and it augers well for the future. Staff have worked hard over the years in promoting courses but it is difficult to predict the demand for training, however, it is pleasing to see such strong interest. Certificate IV in Agriculture students will be commencing their studies on Monday, 4 February and Certificate III students will be commencing studies on Monday, 11 February. Students will be enrolling in Certificate III in Agriculture and Horse Husbandry and Certificate IV in Agriculture. A number of students continue on to undertake a Diploma in Agriculture with subsequent studies at degree level. We are finding students often leave school and like to gain the practical experience before embarking on university studies in agriculture, Dr Archer said. The employment rate for past graduates remains strong and there are about three jobs available for each graduate we have produced in I see that continuing in 2013 because of the ongoing demand for skilled personnel to work in our agricultural industries, Dr Archer said. Tocal students undertake theoretical and practical studies throughout the year and also work on commercial farms. The Certificate III students have work experience of one week at a time at local farms; however, Certificate IV students undertake two four-week blocks of experience at farms across the country and in New Zealand. This gives them a great insight into the diversity and opportunities in agriculture, Dr Archer said.
