I have just noticed a public invitation on facebook for a Warburton Community Forum on the Logging of old growth forest in the Central Highlands, the event is being sponsored by Warburton Environment.
I think the Community Forum is a great idea. I may consider attending, once I know that all sides of this debate will be represented by the guest speakers and presenters, i.e. the Greens and other Environment organisations plus VicForests and the DSE. Our communities must and deserve to be given all the facts, so as to make informed decisions in this very important election year. Like many, I look forward to seeing the agenda for the forum.
I ask the organisers of this forum, please, have informed debate……………………Jim.

- Country Victorian News update
February 27, 2010 | 1:54 pm This site has been operating for nearly a year and it is time to review it’s performance.
CVN is a syndicated site taking content from a number of Victorian country based blogs and websites. It is an easy way to catch up with all these blogs/sites without having to go to each of them
It also has the ability for YOU to write articles exclusively for VCN without having a website of your own. At this time, the major contributor is Roman Kaminski who writes some intersting articles like Shane Warne’s Drop-Catchers as well as his views on Benalla happenings. Why don’t you become a contributor too.
A few of the other functions like classifed ads have not taken off and will be removed. So watch for the changes as they happen.
- Petrol should be cheaper
November 11, 2009 | 10:08 pm The Australian dollar is now at 93 US cents and oil is about $US78 a barrel. At the current price of $A1.20 litre for petrol we are paying at least 25% too much. What’s going on?
- Taking a week off in hospital
September 6, 2009 | 8:33 pm Tomorrow, I am to be booked into the Benalla Hospital for about a week but you won’t notice a difference because this web site is all but automated.
I have been on morphine since my prostate cancer was diagnosed back in April 2008. As time goes by, the body becomes immune and the dosage has to be increased. The current dose is 100 mg both morning and evenings with liquid shots as required to manage the pain breakthrough.
The objective is to infuse some other pain killer through a tube into the stomach whilst my body adjusts to going without the ‘Hillbilly Heroin”. I have been told that it is not a comfortable time and that the side effects are a build-up of fluids and an increase in appetite. I am genuinely not looking forward to the process.

- Too much sex in Wodonga
August 14, 2009 | 9:21 am Well, I have followed the Wodonga twitters all week and as the can’t get ttheir tweets above the navel, I have duly removed that wicked town from the Twitter search and added Yarrawonga in its place.
I’m sure those looking for sex tweets already know how to find them.
