Show Notes
Use the good china, drink champagne from your special glasses, use your wedding knife to cut cake for afternoon tea - just celebrate every little thing you can, because you never know what is around the corner. It's some of the best advice we could hope for after twenty months of never knowing what we can do tomorrow, let alone in a month's time. Jan Goodieson is a celebrant who speaks of such celebrations in the Spring issue of Mildura Living magazine. She's also one of these humble people who are befuddled when someone wants to "interview" them with claims of no real story to tell. Rubbish. Everyone has a story, and whence we add a glass of champagne, the stories will flow as well as the bubbles. Jan talks about her Scottish heritage, her parents blended marriage, meaning Protestant & Catholic, her sister (Sister Phillipa - Anne McMillian) teaching at St. Mary's in Robinvale, and the importance of celebrating every day. Brad Fyfe of Solunar in Mildura supplied lunch for us at The Workshop Creative which was delicious and we'll be talking to him in a couple of weeks time, but not before the team come to Robinvale / Euston for a tour! Watch out for women on tour next Friday and Saturday in The Vale.

THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED ON TUESDAY 6TH DECEMBER - BEFORE FURTHER ROAD CLOSURES OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY. A further update will occur in the coming days.
It's been a while between podcasts, but given there's potentially a flood emergency on our hands and this is a community service, it seemed like a good idea to get Senior Sarge Longy in for a chat about floods and common sense.
Just a quick debrief and catch up with Mildura Rural City Council Mayor Liam Wood. These chat's are always pretty relaxed and casual which I think is important so we can inform people on Council processes, opportunities and issues without the obstacle of formal language. I know being approachable is as important to Mayor Wood as it is to me and these chats are exactly that. Easy, approachable real time conversations.
It's all about the Jesse's and the sport this week... still. Jesse Medina was a main event fight at the Demolition event a few weeks ago and things didn't go his way but in this episode we really get into the sports psychology and figure out why. He's also looking for another fight before the end of the year before he goes looking for a rematch so watch this space. The other Jesse this week is Jesse Zaffina who has my full admiration. This young man is becoming an Ambulance Community Officer so we chat about that and why he didn't end up in the Army like he'd planned after year 12. Then we get to Seamus who has escaped the first round of delisting's before trade period despite only playing less than half the season. We're hoping for the best for your Seamo.
With the SFNL Grand Final tomorrow we thought it only proper to have Donny in to talk about Under 16's and Tina Zappia in to talk about the under 13's. Jane & Pete Aikman called in to talk about B grade netball, tennis and the crops.
