Show Notes
There's so much going on over Easter we thought we needed an extra episode to cover it all. Dale Long who is our senior sergeant at Robinvale Police is in for a chat about all sorts of things including the Manangatang homicide and other things keeping the unit busy. Al and Vicki are in to talk about the Easter tournament which now has a total pool of $3,500 in cash prizes to be won! Al and Vicki normally play together but there was a little incident at country week and the dream team became a nightmare so they've broken up and established new teams, We talk about it during the episode so you'll just have to listen. Lt. Emma Wright is also in to talk about becoming a volunteer for the CFA. Robinvale CFA is 100% volunteer based, so no volunteers, no one to fight your fires! We talk to Emma about how that all happens and what happens when the volunteer base gets low like it is at the moment. There are only a few families who are volunteers, fewer still who are able to leave work, family etc to go fight fires at all hours of the day and night. Emma is really looking for new people to join and you can find out everything you need to know here: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteers-careers/volunteer-with-cfa

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.
