  • NEW BOOK RELEASE Lacrosse in Australia: Lambton L
    NEW BOOK RELEASE Lacrosse in Australia: Lambton L. Mount and the Foundation Years By Doug Fox - OAM This book tells the story of an ambitious and adventurous young man who changed the sporting landscape in Australia by introducing the sport of lacrosse into Melbourne in 1876. Lambton Mount is heralded as the undisputed initiator and ‘father’ of lacrosse in Australia but his broader achievements as an athlete, explorer, pastoralist, inventor, industrialist and outstanding Australian colonial pioneer have remained largely unsung. Now his fascinating and compelling story is told. Mount’s motivation to introduce lacrosse is examined along with the details of how he inspired fellow-pioneers to join him during the foundation years of the sport. The birth and early development of Australia’s great lacrosse clubs are documented against the backdrop of the expansion of the sport across colonial borders, the coming of Australian Federation, the beginnings of women’s lacrosse and the interruption by war. The commencement and development of Interstate and international lacrosse in Australia form a key component of the narrative which is documented and supported with over 190 illustrations and photographs, many never previously published. Central to this story are the accounts of the key athletes and administrators who built lacrosse in Australia. This is a ‘must have’ book for everyone who has come under the enduring spell of this unique sport. STRICTLY LIMITED PRINT RUN ORDER NOW TO BE SURE OF SECURING A COPY This 280-page book with 190 photographs and illustrations is available for pre- order for $68 (postage and handling included) online via the Lacrosse Australia Foundation website www.lacrosseaustraliafoundation.com.au/ OR by completing and lodging the order slip below.

    8 – 9 OCTOBER –A– –B– “The most important journey is the one of the spirit, for your internal peace relies on it.” Olivia Newton-John AC, OBE Acknowledgement of Country Australian Women in Music Awards acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we meet, celebrate, dance and sing. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent.

VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Lacrosse Is One of the Oldest Team Sports. the Sport Was Originally Played by the Native Tribes in North America
    LACROSSE Lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports. The sport was originally played by the Native Tribes in North America. It was originally known as “Baggataway” which translates to “Younger Brother of War” and was used by the tribes as an alternative to war. The games took place over several days and were played over huge open areas between villages. The goals, which might have been trees or other natural features, were anything from 500 meters to several kilometers apart. A large number of players were involved with estimates of between 100 and 100,000 participating in a game at any one time! The game was observed by French missionaries working in the area. As a result, interest in the game began to develop in Canada. They believed that the sticks used resembled a bishop's crozier (in French “la crosse d' évêque”) and hence called the game Lacrosse. The game developed into the game as we know it today, which is played on a field of similar size to a hockey/soccer pitch, by two teams with ten players on the field at one time. The first club, Montreal Lacrosse Club was founded in 1856. Since then Lacrosse has spread all across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and even parts of Africa. Lacrosse first came to Australia 1876. It is a largely armature sport in Australia with competitions in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. MENS LACROSSE IN VICTORIA The pioneer of lacrosse in Australia was a Canadian, Lambton L. Mount. He came to the Victorian goldfields as a fourteen year old with his family in 1853 but it was not until 1875 that he was moved to revive his early boyhood memories of lacrosse.

    The three-legged race: A history of Physical Education, School Sport, and Health Education in New South Wales public schools from 1880 to 2012. Michelle Gorzanelli Faculty of Arts and Social Science University of Sydney 2018 A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Michelle Gorzanelli Acknowledgements Completion of this doctoral thesis was possible with the support of several people. Most significantly, this feat was possible because of the unconditional support provided by David Baxter, who always made himself available to clarify my thought process and offer guidance that extended this PhD into my professional development and career progression. My manager Associate Professor Kathie Ardzejewska was also very supportive in terms of my personal welfare, and development as an academic. Ben Kooyman was kind enough to undertake the editing work and I acknowledge his meticulous work and attention to detail. I am very much grateful to Mum, Dad, my sister Bec, and my husband Sean for encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. Without their support I would not have been able to manage study along with my everyday life. Sean was understanding and patient during the tough times and stayed by my side. To my little and beautiful soul, Kaden, you have been on this journey without even knowing it and my love for you kept me motivated and dedicated to making sure this achievement came true.
