Kamberra Wine Company wines hit Local Liquor stores

A wide selection of local Kamberra Wine Company’s Meeting Place wines 2009 vintage are now available in Canberra and Queanbeyan Local Liquor outlets.

 

Traditionally available at cellar door only, Meeting Place wine varieties now available at Local Liquor outlets include a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Viognier, Sparkling Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.

 

The inspiration behind the wine label name comes from the translation of the Aboriginal word Kamberra meaning ‘meeting place’. Kamberra Wine Company Assistant General Manager, Will Penny, said this name was chosen as it reflects the essence of what Meeting Place wines are all about.

 

“Meeting Place wines are all about providing a point of meeting for the local grower, winemaker and wine drinker. A glass of Meeting Place wine connects all three,” said Will.

 

Will expects the Meeting Place wines to be popular among the local community as the flavours are fresh and lively.

 

“The white varieties are lively with bright, zesty fruit flavours. The Sauvignon Blanc Semillon shows flavours of passionfruit and green melons, the Chardonnay offers fresh aromas of white peach and grapefruit and the Sparkling Chardonnay has intense white peach and citrus characters. These wines are perfect accompaniments to a meal of grilled chicken or fish,” he explained.

 

“The Riesling boasts intense citrus, floral and exotic lychee flavours. The Viognier is an exciting wine with a combination of apricot, lychee and spice flavours. Both are great to drink with Asian dishes,” he said.     

 

Kamberra Wine Company is also renowned for its variety of Meeting Place reds. The company’s wine maker was awarded the 2009 Jimmy Watson Trophy for young red wine.

 

“The Shiraz has intense perfume and bright red fruits. The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is a gutsy, earthy wine with intense dark fruit and a soft elegant structure. I would recommend both these wines to accompany a meal of beef or duck,” said Will.

 

The Kamberra Wine Company business includes a winery, function centre and Connoisseur Catering.

 

Kamberra Wine Company’s function centre provides a scenic winery setting for all types of functions including weddings, conferences and parties. The venue is complete with open fireplace, built-in dance floor, full-length glass windows and covered verandas opening onto vineyards, gardens and a reflection pond.

 

Kamberra Wine Company’s function centre is located at the Kamberra Wine Complex in North Lyneham, only ten minutes from the Canberra city centre. It offers three modern rooms with full conference facilities and ample free parking on-site.


 

Kamberra Wine Company is currently giving away a 2011 wedding valued at $10,000. To enter the draw, couples must book a 2011 wedding at Kamberra Wine Company and pay deposit before 30 May 2010.

Ami Williamson's debut album "Close to Home"

By
-
0

THE APPLE NEVER FALLS VERY FAR FROM THE TREE 

Ami Williamson has arrived, independent, con?dent and with a debut album that leaves no 

question that songwriting excellence is a genetic trait within her family. 

Her album, ‘Close to Home’ is not what you ?rst expect from a Williamson, after all her 

father is country music icon John Williamson. But you won’t be disappointed either but 

rather impressed. 

Ami Williamson has her own style, her own voice, lyrics and melodies to stand alone. She is 

a trained singer/pianist and a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (where she 

was awarded a scholarship for excellence to continue studies in Opera in Germany) as well as 

an AMEB 8th Grade Piano student. Ami has also worked with Opera Australia, State Opera 

of South Australia and sung under the baton of world famous conductor Richard Bonynge. 

This training obviously combined with her experience from touring nationally and 

internationally several times over along with her natural ability and creative expression has 

given Ami all the tools to deliver the beguiling and impressive “Close to Home”. 

The ten track album captures your attention from the ?rst song. “We Travel in Cars” 

immediately makes you stop and listen. Haunting, catchy, infectious and engaging. it is a 

statement from Ami Williamson whether she realizes it or not. forget who you think she 

might be or sound like. Ami’s sound is unique and her astounding ONE WOMAN SHOW has 

seen her carve her own niche in the entertainment industry. She sings like and angel, she 

plays piano, drums, dulcimer, she dances and engages her audience and leaves them shouting 

for more. "My main goal is to entertain and write songs about the people who inspire me" 

said Ami. This natural born performer has toured with some of the biggest names in the 

business from Angry Anderson to Kate Soprano and Beccy Cole " I learn something from 

every performer I work with and from every crowd I perform to!" said Ami. 

Track three, “The Soldiers Wife” is raw, emotive and pays tribute to the married women of 

servicemen, no doubt in?uenced from her time overseas entertaining posted troops (Ami was 

invited to entertain troops in the Solomon Islands and in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008). "The 

Soldier’s Wife" also pays homage to the role grandparents play in society and is dedicated to 

her grandmother. 

Her inclusions of personal story, family and in?uences are evident throughout the entire 

album. Whether it is a tribute to her sister (Track 5 – "My Sister and I") or her husband 

(Track 8 – "Beautiful") you cannot help but lose yourself in her distinct voice and endearing 

words. 

Ami Williamson could have recorded an album ten years ago.  She would have had the 

resources, connections and ability to do it; instead she waited, waited until she had a fan base 

and the right material to represent herself as an artist with substance making her own mark in 

the Australian Music industry. 

A show girl, an entertainer, lyricist, and songwriter. Ami Williamson doesn’t query taking 

risks and making her own stand. You will be impressed; you will be surprised whilst also 

being excited as to what else is to come from Australia’s ?rst daughter of Australian music. 

“Music is universal; it transcends simply being boxed into a genre or style. I believe that if 

music speaks to you then it’s good regardless of labels or image. 

Songwriting and performing feels so natural to me; it feels innate as though in the blood. It is 

who I am and what I need in my everyday to make sense of life. I am really proud of "Close 

to Home" and so glad I waited to record the right songs, it’s the right time and I’m taking 

each day, gig and reaction as they come” said Ami. 

Ami Williamson’s debut album ‘Close to Home’ is available now!

Help Fund Voluntary Work In Uganda 2011

Student Partnerships Worldwide

Hello, my name is Elise Wilson and I have recently been accepted by Student Partnerships Worldwide (SPW) to participate in the Uganda 7 month Youth Empowerment Programme, commencing in January 2011, and am seeking your support.

SPW is a non-for-profit, non- government organisation (NGO) that works with and for young people in Africa and Asia. SPWs ‘ mission is to enable young volunteers to empower rural youth to take control of their own lives and to act towards shaping their community. For more information check out the website http://www.spw.org.au

As a volunteer I will be working as a peer-educator assisting in the delivery of vital health, environmental and community education which will directly reach local rural communities. I will live and work in a local community with local volunteers to provide formal and non-formal timetabled lessons in primary and secondary schools, extra-curricula activities (drama, arts health for example) and community event days.

For me to participate in the Youth Empowerment Programme Uganda I need to raise $10,000. Through fundraising and sponsorship I hope to achieve this.

I will be selling chocolates within a few weeks and holding an auction later in the year. I am also seeking sponsorship and donations to assist in reaching my $10,000 goal.

How can you help? Through monetary and material donations.

Contact me anytime via phone or email for more information

Commercial celebration of Bollywood

Carol Furtado dances as Ayesha Merchant in The Merchants of Bollywood at the Canberra Theatre until March 6.
Commercial celebration of Bollywood
By Rama Gaind

‘The Merchants of Bollywood’ musical, which ends its season in Canberra on March 6,  is a huge celebration of Bollywood in all its commercial glory.
Based on real life, and through music and dance, this story highlights the vital part played by cinema in the heart and soul of Indian society.
The energetic celebration features a youthful cast of 40, dancing and singing their way through choreography by Vaibhavi Merchant, granddaughter of Harilal Merchant, one of the founding fathers of classic Bollywood cinema.
Focal point is the story of a young girl, her tough taskmaster grandfather who wants nothing less than perfection and their shared love of dance.
However, her grandfather Shantilal (Arif Zakaria), rejects the style and approach of Bollywood and they become estranged – until she returns to her birthplace and meets former boyfriend, Uday (Deepak Rawat). 
Carol Furtado takes centre stage in the lead as Ayesha Merchant who looks back on the traditional start to her career and the break with her mentor grandfather when she goes to Bollywood and wins accolades as Indian filmdom’s Princess of Romance.
Music and dance creates the structure to reflect some of the most popular of the 800-plus films made every year in Mumbai.
Lip-synching their way through the songs, the dancers perform dance that is linked mostly to recent movies, but also to a clutch of classics naming legendary actors from 1955 to 1974. From disco and hip-hop to classical, they look like they’re having a fabulous time and their vivacity carries the audience on a collective surge of harmonious clapping and toe-tapping.
It’s a trip down memory lane with nostalgia being revived through some memorable numbers from films including Rang De Basanti, Devdas, Dhoom, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Kal Ho Naa Ho.
After the intense opening with the Natraja, in the Temple of Shiva, some of the singing highlights include blockbuster songs such as Rang De Basanti, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Nach Baliye, Kajrare Kajrare, Say Shava Shava, Dhoom Machale Dhoom and Rock and Roll Soniye.
What’s more, there’s also some comic relief.
The show was a brainchild of writer-director Toby Gough and the music – written and arranged by Salim and Sulaiman – has an irresistible beat. Shimming costumes, bright lights and an intense flow of activity add to the electrifying energy on stage.
The storyline for this lavish production may be simple, but it is a sparkling, artistic spectacular which you can’t get enough of, with the audience clamouring for more, even after a couple of encores!

McDonalds and Weight Watchers an unlikely pairing

McDonalds sees a profit in providing for dieters
In a world first, McDonalds has signed a deal with Weight Watchers to promote some of its meals to dieters.
Three meals with the Weight Watchers logo will go on sale in New Zealand today and are expected in Australia later this year.  The deal is part of a six year push by McDonalds to change its image and comes three years after the company paid $330,000 to put the Heart Foundation’s tick on seven meals, including burgers and nuggets.
Weight Watchers spokesman Chris Stirk said the partnership had been formed after similar successful alliances with other restaurant chains in the UK and the US.
“People have a greater chance of losing weight and keeping it off when they did not have to deprive themselves of every indulgence,” he said.
The meals include the Filet o Fish (1390 kilojoules), Chicken Nuggets (1560 kilojoules) and the Sweet Chilli Seared Chicken Wrap (1640 kilojoules), each served with salad as well as water or a diet drink.  They add up to 6.5 Weight Watchers points each, which those in the program must factor into their daily intake of between 18 and 40 points each day in order to reach their goal weight.
According to McDonald’s New Zealand Managing Director, Mark Hawthorne, the menu items were carefully chosen.
 
“We were able to include some of our most popular items because of the many changes we have made over the years. For instance, the switch to a healthier canola blend cooking oil means menu items such as the Filet-O-Fish and Chicken McNuggets contain 60% less saturated fat than they did six years ago,” he says.
 
But Nutritionists and Obesity Experts say the deal is just a marketing ploy to lure people into McDonalds so that they can buy more burgers.
 
“Make no mistake, this is about selling more burgers and fries,” Boyd Swinburn, from the Australian Society for the Study of Obesity at Deakin University, told the Sydney Morning Herald.
 
“Mum can go in and feel good about her Weight Watches meal while she buys the kids burgers. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive.”
 
Nutritionist Rosemary Stanton agreed, telling the SMH that sales of burgers and chips soared when McDonald’s brought in its Deli Choices rolls back in 2004.
 
Weight Watches Spokesman Chris Stirk defended the move, saying that while the partnership may be unexpected, the new meals were part of their philosophy.
 
Spokeswoman for the Fight the Obesity Epidemic group, Dr Robin Toomath, told the New Zealand Herald that the move would be okay if it encouraged existing McDonald’s customers to make a healthier choice.
 
However, she said it was more likely that the promotion would attract new customers and thus normalise the regular eating of McDonalds.

Sony Foundation and CanTeen launch 'You Can' – Campaign to raise funds to build youth cancer treatment centres of excellence across Australia

You Can ambassador, Stan Walker, donating his unused mobile phone
Sony Foundation launches national fundraising campaign for youth cancer
·  $15m target to build specialised youth cancer centres in Australia
·  Public call-to-action: donate used mobile phones

Sydney, 1 March, 2010– Sony Foundation Australia, together with CanTeen, today launched a national fundraising campaign to raise $15 million to build youth cancer centres of excellence in Australia.
The campaign’s public appeal – ‘You Can’ – addresses the need for specialised youth cancer treatment centres for Australia’s ‘forgotten generation’, persons aged between 15 and 251 fighting cancer.

Dr Louise Messara, Executive Director, Sony Foundation Australia, said, “The facts on youth cancer are staggering. One in 100 Australians is diagnosed with cancer before the age of 30, but in the last 25 years there has been virtually no improvement in survival outcomes for the 15 to 30 age group. More can be done. The creation of these new centres virtually guarantees an increase in the survival rates, through the collaboration of medical experts, the development of specialised treatments and the opportunity for young people to be amongst peers in a dedicated, encouraging environment.”

How You Can help
It’s simple for the public to get involved. You Can’s primary fundraising mechanic calls on Australians to recycle their old mobile phones – turning trash into much needed funds.
It is estimated that there are anywhere from 15 to 20 million unwanted phones in Australian homes.2 In an independent survey conducted on behalf of AMTA in 2009, 31% of mobile phone users had two or more old unused mobiles at home and 64% had one old unused mobile at home.3 In addition, on average, Australians upgrade or change their mobile every 18months4. This means there is a continuous supply of mobile phones becoming obsolete each year.
Sony Foundation has partnered with Folamh, an Irish recycling company, to swap old mobile phones for cash to raise money for the development of youth cancer centres. All donated phones will be recycled for reuse. That means, once collected, phones will be refurbished and resold. Any mobile phone that cannot be resold will be broken down into its constituent parts and responsibly recycled. So simply by donating an old mobile phone, Australians can directly contribute to You Can’s fundraising appeal, whilst also contributing to a greener planet.

You Can’s public appeal
The You Can campaign will debut tonight on Australian television screens led by an advertisement that aims to alert the public to the shocking fact that simply turning 16 can halve your chance of surviving certain cancers in Australia. The national advertising appeal will be supported by Reply Paid mobile phone recycling envelopes inserted in national newspapers and magazines from early March. Redundant mobile phones can also be dropped into YouCan bins located in Sony Centres nationwide.
For more information on the You Can campaign and how to contribute, or to download a Reply Paid label, visit www.youcan.org.au 

Australian FederalGovernment commits $15 million
Through the Youth Cancer Networks Program, the Australian Government has committed $15 million to improve services, support and care for adolescents and young adults with cancer.
CanTeen is managing the implementation of the Youth Cancer Networks and has committed to raise an additional $15 million in corporate and community support. Sony Foundation is proud to support CanTeen in this mission.
Dr Andrew Young, Chief Executive Officer of CanTeen, said, “Through 25 years of working with young people with cancer, we know that their needs are unique. We need cancer services designed specifically for young people to improve outcomes for this group that have stagnated for decades. With the funding from the Australian Government, and with the support of Sony Foundation, we can make a huge difference in the lives of young people with cancer.”

Sony Foundation Youth Cancer Centres of Excellence
On behalf of young people living with cancer, CanTeen and Sony Foundation’s longterm aim is to fund the establishment of youth cancer centres throughout the country. These centres will address the lack of improvement in cancer survival for this age group by providing a focus for collaboration amongst medical professionals, facilitating the development of clinical trials, encouraging specialist training and allowing for the delivery of a psychosocial support service equipped to deal with the issues specific to this age group.
Utilising the expertise of the Sony group of companies, Sony Foundation’s youth cancer centres will also incorporate technology innovations and entertainment experiences relevant to this age group.  This will encompass everything from the use of Handycam camcorders to populate social networking sites and record journeys of recovery; to the use of VAIO notebook technology, which can assist in maintaining all important links to family, friends, schools, universities and workplaces.  
In addition to Sony Foundation’s capital program, through the Youth Cancer Networks Program, funding will also be directed to national projects, including new clinical research and guidelines, professional education and networks for this age group. It is anticipated that these efforts will entirely change the landscape for young Australians battling cancer.
