DEMAND FOR LOCAL HOT SAUCE HEATS UP FOR ROBE FAMILY
Tuesday, 19 July 2016 10:20
The Davidson family from Robe have returned to Australia after 20 years living in America, and one thing they missed most was their favourite hot sauce. After importing hot sauce straight from Mexico, and going through large quantities of it, they decided to make their own. They set up their own business producing ‘Cantina Kick’, and their hand-made hot sauce is heating up the Limestone Coast. After starting out making 8 bottles per week, growing demand has seen them producing 30 bottles a week by hand, which they wholesale to local establishments. Starting in mum’s commercial kitchen, the family experimented with garlic and chilli and spices, until they invented a combination and intensity of heat they were happy with. Sounds like just the thing to warm us up in this wintry weather – well done to the Davidsons!

FORMER NHILL LOCAL FRONTS COURT FOR DISHONESTY
Monday, 11 July 2016 15:02
A former Nhill resident fronted Melbourne’s Country Court charged with a range of dishonesty offences recently, all in a bid to win the love and acceptance of his children. Graeme Effrett pretended to be a “big shot” and used a forged cheque to put a down payment on a mansion in South Yarra. Effrett was declared bankrupt in 2002, and after his marriage ended five years later, he applied for an offshore loan in 2010 for the sum of $290m USD with someone he’d never met. By 2011, he had his elderly father ask neighbours and friends for loans to support his son’s business that was already failing. Those loans totalled around $30,000 with Effrett spending the cash on his own living expenses, all while he collected payments from Centrelink. In 2012 his scams extended to online dating, where he convinced two women to part with about $50,000 between them, which he then sent to contacts in Africa and China. Effrett also deposited counterfeit cheques into his own bank account, one for $US4.6 million plus one of $US9.8 million. His dishonesty offences resulted in him being remanded in custody, and it’s understood none of his family speak to him anymore.

Horsham Greyhound Racing Club member Peter Carter said it’s a drastic decision. Peter added that the majority of trainers and breeders get extremely attached to their dogs, treating them as pets, and said that the industry in Victoria is very far ahead in terms of animal welfare and has very high ethics.
