Bendotti Exporters commitment to the industry and reinvestment in new state of the art equipment is ensuring that a premium product is produced for consumers. The current capital investment program will enable Bendotti Exporters to continue to streamline manufacturing, storage, and distribution in Australia and around the world and provide markets with consistently high-quality produce year-round. Their policy of continuous sampling of raw and processed products ensures only the highest standards of quality control are maintained. Their unique cooking system enables them to claim their French Fries are 97% Fat Free. WA CHIP currently produce 8 cuts of frozen French Fries ranging from 7mm to 13mm, plus Wedges and Skin On along with producing several private labels. They also produce value added potato cuts used in the Frozen, Ready to Eat food industry. Bendotti Exporters utilise approved contract growers from Myalup to Pemberton in Australia’s South West to ensure they meet their market demands and to secure a future for potato growers in their local region of Western Australia. The Potato crops are transported a short distance to the processing centre where they are graded and used for the perfect tasting French Fry, and/or value added products. Contracts to approved growers are issued on a 12 month basis. Growers must be able to produce varieties to a high standard to ensure a premium grade French Fry.

Bach’s “Chaconne” featuring Emily Leung Composer Johannes Brahms described the “Chaconne” by Johann Sebastian Bach like this: “…it’s a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind...”

Gifted violinist Emily Leung has had a long collaboration with FCO ever since her soloist debut at just 15. She will bring this fantastic music to life.

Koželuch’s Clarinet Concerto 2 played by Michael Hodgkins Leopold Kozeluch was born in the present-day Czech Republic. After Mozart’s death, Emperor Franz II off ered him Mozart’s positions in his court at double Mozart’s salary. Koželuch’s Clarinet Concerto No 2 is a classical concerto perfect in balance and poise, rich in

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20) Do your processing, in your work. There is an opportunity here to address your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. What you do and how you do it will have an impact that reverberates through all levels. Make sure you are in a situation that enables you to attune all these things.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) With Uranus slowly making his way through Taurus, your dominant theme is to do with freedom. It might not be what you thought it was. To claim freedom is to be fully responsible for who you are and your actions. When our pursuit of freedom disturbs our friendships, things get tricky.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) You may fi nd yourself at odds with the very person, or thing, that could liberate you. In leaping off into the unknown, one must let go of that which is comfortable and familiar. A few butterfl ies in the belly are entirely natural. Saturn in Aquarius is ensuring that you remain steady and true.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) The Moon begins her week in Scorpio, ensuring that there is a fair quotient of intensity in the air before there’s any action. You are in an astrological tight spot. Saturn is causing problems from Aquarius by insisting on changes that you can’t yet stomach. Feel things out before you act. Jazzing
