MORWELL RSL is mourning the loss of past president and former Victorian RSL senior vice president Mal Bugg, OAM, who died on Saturday aged 75 years. News of Mr Bugg’s death filtered through to his comrades last week as the RSL began final preparations for the biggest day on the Australian military calendar, Anzac Day. Mr Bugg was on holiday and is reported to have collapsed exiting an Orbost church. Morwell RSL treasurer Bill Hall said Mr Bugg, an RSL member since 1974, was a dedicated and active member of the league. “Mal was a dedicated RSL and family man. He lived and breathed for the club and his family,” Mr Hall said. Morwell RSL president Bruce Jeffrey said Mr Bugg made the branch what it is today. “When it came to the veterans and their families, he had a heart of gold. He was a good man and a gentleman,” Mr Jeffrey said.

“He would go out of his way to help the veterans community…he will be sadly missed.” Denise Cleary, the club’s secretary for the past 15 years, described Mal’s achievements: “Mal used to organise volunteers to go to veterans’ homes. He organised mowing services, made sure they had enough to eat and organised excursions to get them out of the house. “I have never known anyone with more military knowledge (than Mal). “The RSL is now what it is, because of him. The man is RSL through and through. His blood is RSL.” Mr Bugg became a temporary member of Dandenong RSL in 1964 before joining as a service member in 1974. It was at this time he became interested in assisting war veterans with their welfare and pension claims. In 1979 he was a builder living in Beaconsﬁeld, where he secured some contracts in the Latrobe Valley region. He temporarily moved to Morwell in 1979 and transferred his RSL membership to the Morwell sub-branch. It wasn’t long after this that he joined the committee.

In 1980, he and his wife Moria moved permanently to Morwell. In 1994, Mr Bugg was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his service to the veteran community. Mr Bugg is succeeded by wife Moria and children Anne, Jim, Jenny, Cathy, Michelle and Geraldine. Funeral details are yet to be announced.

and road closures By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

FOLLOWING a sharp spike in rainfall on Tuesday last week, the Latrobe Valley again suffered widespread flooding. Several roads were closed and many more were impacted by the flooding, impeding traffic flow. Boolarra had the most rain throughout the week, recording a massive 141mm between Sunday, April 10, and Friday, April 15,

more than the total rainfall for April 2010 (117.4mm). Morwell had the highest single day of rain, with 70mm falling overnight on Tuesday. Last year’s total for all of April was 54.6mm. The ﬂooding worried Gippsland Water, with sewerage overﬂows at pumping stations a concern. Jody O’Kane, Latrobe City manager infrastructure operations, said there were a

number of road closures and roads impacted by water. “Vaggs Rd, Nuttalls Rd and Creamery Rd in Yinnar were closed, and a lot of roads in the area had water over them including Brodribb Rd in Churchill, Hazelwood Rd near Morwell and Monash Way outside of Churchill.” Mr O’Kane said. “While there were a large number of roads with water over them, the bigger issue was the

landslips throughout the area.” One example of severe landslips due to the ﬂooding is Budgeree road, which had 19 slips. There were also major slips on Morwell River Rd, Glendonald Rd and a series of smaller roads suﬀered landslips also. The Latrobe City Council will this week investigate the best way to deal with the large number of slips throughout the Valley.

EPA continues Kernot probe

By Tristan O’Kane

THE oil spill at Kernot Lake in late March is still being probed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An EPA spokesperson said: “EPA continues to investigate. Testing undertaken a few weeks ago conﬁrmed the oil has come from certain areas within the industrial complex, which

allows EPA’s investigation to become more targeted. “The aﬀected area has been cleaned up and no further leaks were identiﬁed following heavy rainfall last week.” The EPA said in March that local business in the area was the possible source of the oil. The companies under investigation were Energy Brix, SP AusNet and Mecrus.

NEWS VOICE Bishop admits church difficulties Latrobe Valley

By Niall Boyle

niall.boyle@lvvoice.com.au

AHEAD of Holy Week, Bishop Christopher Prowse has admitted that growing secularism and consumerism has left the Roman Catholic religion with a huge mountain to climb. The Bishop of Sale, whose diocese includes Hallam, Cranbourne and Phillip Island in the west, through Gippsland to the NSW border, says that congregations are on the wane, but is encouraged by the faith being shown by the younger generation “Globally the Catholic Church is facing the challenge of increasing secularism, and that’s evident here in Gippsland also. Religion is pushed onto the periphery until something joyous, like a birth or wedding, or great sadness occurs,” he said. “Materialism and false gods are another problem facing the Church. Materialism can buy you pleasure, not true happiness. These are superﬁcial replacements, religious sentiment

is a part of nature. “There’s a great energy about World Youth Day, as demonstrated in Sydney last year, and I think in Catholic schools around Gippsland there are 115,000 students. Although practical faith may be waning, families are coming back to the Church. A lot of eﬀort has been put in by missionaries, and it’s wonderful to welcome people back at Easter, and any time of the year, after a period of absence.” Priesthood vocations are also on the rise in the Diocese, and this turnabout of increasing numbers shows young people’s faith said the Bishop. In his Easter message he encouraged parishioners: “Don’t be afraid. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope, courage and love to be able to respond to the challenges in our lives.” On a lighter note, the avid Hawthorn supporter won’t be seeking any Divine intervention in the bid for a premiership ﬂag this year.

▪ Superintendent Geoﬀ Newby discusses Princes Fwy works with Minister for Roads Terry Mulder and Morwell MLA Russell Northe. By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

POLICE and VicRoads will increase their presence on Morwell roads for the Easter period in an effort to combat delays and accidents. The increased presence will run in conjunction with a media campaign urging driver patience and caution in dealing with changed traffic conditions in the Morwell area. Police Minister Terry Mulder, who met with Police and VicRoads representatives in Morwell last week, said a strong media campaign would urge travellers to East Gippsland to allow extra time for travel due to the closure of the Princes Fwy. “The message we’re sending out to people is that there are changed traffic conditions in the area, drive as safely as you possibly can,” he said. “It’s disappointing that there has been increased accidents, no

one wants to see that happen, but this is a very unusual situation that we’ve encountered and we’re doing everything we possibly can to assist the community.” The minister said holiday-makers needed to be more organised. “What we’re saying is come, but make sure you travel out of peak. Make sure you leave a little bit of time up your sleeve when you’re travelling, to allow for any delays but most importantly, follow the directions that are given and travel safely,” he said. The Minister travelled to the Valley to discuss the Easter road campaign and to inspect the freeway. Police superintendent Geoff Newby also pointed out that the freeway had not suffered any damage during the recent rain the Valley had, which was great news. “The first event had 54mm, the rain between the 9th to the 12th

was 53mm, so we’re talking about the same amount in the same area, and we were fairly concerned about that, but the good news is in the original area there was no movement,” Supt Newby said. “There was a slight, and I stress very slight, movement toward the east side in the mine, and a couple more cracks have been identified in the new area I identified recently, but the horizontal bore holes in the mine are working.” There are currently 17 bore holes already drilled, four partially done, and there will be 40 in total. “We’re almost half way with them, and there’s already water pouring out of them, which means the water is coming out of the area of concern, which is why there was little movement in this last rain event,” he said. “This just increases my confidence that we’re going to get a really good outcome and open the freeway.”

IF you have seen a ﬂash of pink running through the Latrobe Valley this week, don’t worry or adjust your glasses. Australian of the Year Deborah de Williams and her border collie Maggie visited the area this week. She is aiming to raise $300,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation by running around Australia. Back in 2003/04, Ms de Williams walked around Australia to help raise money for Kids Help Line. She swore she would never do that again as it was so hard. On March 16, 2006, Ms de Williams was diagnosed with breast cancer. After successful treatment, she decided to raise funds for breast cancer research by running around Australia. She set out from her home town of Hobart, running via the

THE old saying, a picture tells a thousand words, rings true for this photograph, which is on display at the Moore St News Agency in Moe. Agency owner Chris Seymour had planned to make a history wall in the newsagency she ran in Fowler St for four years, but never quite got around to it. Now, after two years of sourcing names for the photograph, she has renewed enthusiasm for the project. The photograph, given to her by a customer, depicts a 1967 group of apprentices and has sparked great interest from her many customers who have recognised themselves or colleagues they once knew. “Some of the people pictured come into the shop every day. They have been really excited about the photo,” Ms Seymour explained to the Voice. One such regular who is pictured, Peter Turner,

remembers those times well. He was in charge of the electrical apprenticeship training from 1966 to 1988. Mr Turner still keeps in touch with some of his colleagues from back then. “They have all gone on to become supervisors or unit controllers in power stations and some are now retired; they are in their mid-60s now but a lot of them remain in the Latrobe Valley,” he said. The apprentices went on to be boilermakers, fitters and turners, electrical fitters, instrument makers and repairers, and electrical mechanics. There were also a few trades covered such as painters and carpenters, but there were not many in these fields. Chris Seymour is still looking for any photos that capture the area’s history from the 1960s. That history wall may just make it to the Moore St newsagency, where she has been since March.

He was then joined, in 1984, by George Morgan to form Gippsland Aeronautics Pty Ltd. The company now exports aircraft all over the world and offers significant training opportunities in the aeronautics industry.

said. Mr Willis has now lost count of how many trainee pilots he has flown with but he estimates well over 1,200. However, Steve Hall, organisational excellence manager at GippsAero, said few people knew about the opportunities available locally within the aeronautics field. Mr Hall is passionate about employing local staff and would like to make it easier for them to train in the Latrobe Valley. “The last six months, we have increased our workforce by 94%. Of that figure, 90% are local and 50% come from local employment agencies.

Senior constable Milbourne, also of RoadSafe Gippsland, added weight to the national debate saying: “I would love to see buses ﬁtted with seat belts in the Valley, it’s a no-brainer. If kids have to be belted

in cars, why isn’t it compulsory in a bus? “What’s the cost of a life? The sooner we can get kids, and all occupants of buses, belted up the better,” he said.

efunct Mo ▪ The now-d

By Bryce Campbell bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com. au

IT is an end of an era for the Moe Telstra call centre, with the doors oﬃcially being closed last week on Wednesday at 2pm.

A quiet aﬀair, aside from a few horns honking and tyres screeching, there was generally a good mood among employees ﬁnishing up for the day. Co-workers said their farewells to each other, carrying out their personal belongings in plain cardboard

boxes and left the centre for the last time. After being established in 2001, the 114 employees were told earlier in the year that the centre was to be closed and relocated overseas. So far 14 employees have been redeployed, with six being interstate. A number have secured alternative work in the Valley, but the majority are unemployed and these are mainly the older members of staﬀ. Steve Abboushi, ﬁeld organiser with the Community and Public Sector Union (CSPU), said the call centre’s closure was disappointing.

“The show is a must for all those needing a good laugh.” David Williams, who has played the Melbourne International Comedy Festival since 1999, television comic DeAnne Smith, puppeteer Heath McIvor and punk rock band Die Roten Punkte will perform. Die Roten Punkte became an instant household name in Europe after topping the charts in Germany and Poland with its 2005 hits ’I’m in a band’ and ‘Best band In the world’. Ms Roberts urged patrons to book their tickets well in advance.

SPORTING clubs wanting to make better use of social media and websites can take part in a GippSport online workshop to be held this Wednesday, April 20, at 7pm. For enquiries or to register for the session contact GippSport on 5135 8335 or email info@gippsport.com. au with your name, club details, email and mobile phone number.

“The atmosphere was difficult and quite sombre when I visited last week. Obviously we’re very disappointed with the outcome, but we’re very proud to say the community rallied around and supported the employees,” he said. Peter Jamieson, executive director of customer service and sales at Telstra, said that the process had been hard for all involved. “This has been particularly difficult for the employees, but the leadership has done an outstanding job in helping each employee go through what they needed to,” he said. “It’s a testament to the leadership team, they’ve been very supportive, very caring through a very difficult period for all of the 114 folks.”

Laugh your socks off

THE Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow rocks into Latrobe City with international and home-grown comics ready to have you laughing in the aisles. Latrobe City’s performing arts and venues coordinator Kathleen Roberts said that the roadshow tour was always popular and that tickets would sell fast. Four acts will feature in this year’s roadshow. “We have straight out Aussie comedy, Canadian oﬀ-beat humour, puppetry and rock music parody,” Ms Roberts said.

Internet workshop

“With such a stellar cast, this show will be packed. Why not get together with a group of friends to enjoy an evening where city headline acts come to the country,” she said. “It’s a once-a-year event and not to be missed.” The Melbourne International Comedy Roadshow will perform at Kernot Hall on Wednesday, May 11, at 8pm. The Latrobe Performing Arts bar will be open for refreshments from 7pm. To book, contact the box oﬃce on 5176 3559.

ANZAC DAY Lest we Forget

Australian

ANZAC FACTS

BRYCE CAMPBELL was out and about in Traralgon, asking people what Anzac Day meant to them.

ANZAC Day marks the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during WWI. The first Gallipoli landing, though intended to be a quick blow against their Turkish enemies, marked the beginning of an eight-month campaign during which 8,000 Australian soldiers were killed. Throughout the course of WWI, some 60,000 Australians died, at a time when Australia’s population was just five million. In 1927, for the first time, every state observed some sort of public holiday on Anzac Day. Anzac Day was later extended to commemorate the contribution of those who served in WWII – almost one million men and women - and other campaigns. The traditional Dawn Service has its origins in the military practice of attacking at dawn. The Last Post is the bugle call that marks the end of the day’s activities and is also played at military funerals to commemorate a soldier’s passing. It is often played at ANZAC Day ceremonies.

The March

– An Anzac Day tribute poem by Kay F Ruane The crowds are waving ﬂags and cheering As they line the Melbourne street You can hear the march of feet. It’s Anzac Day and you are marching Your ranks are thin and few But at your side are the young ones The spirit of Anzac they renew. I see a feeble hand is waving From the window of a car For you are aged and weary And the distance is too far.

Your eyes have lost their colour With the passing of the years As I gaze at your aging face My eyes well up with tears. Your eyes have witnessed horrors That we can never know But you don’t speak about the war Or your encounter with the foe. I see sons supporting fathers Wearing medals, won with pride The faces tell the story As old mates march, side by side

The band played Waltzing Matilda As you marched oﬀ to wars We were glad to see you heroes Return from foreign shores. Time passes all too swiftly Time dims our memories too Today is your time to remember As old friendships you renew. You are passing on a message To generations that are to come You deserve our admiration And our thanks, for a job well done

Morwell RSL president Bruce Jeﬀrey said the town’s own Roz Carstairs, who initially approached the RSL to bring the service back after 16 years without one, deserved congratulations. “Six of us from the RSL went out to Boolarra, and we were very impressed

with the number that turned out and how it was run,” he said. “It was a very nice service and we intend to hold it every year.” Boolarra resident Tom Lawless, who served in the air force in World War II and is a Morwell RSL life member, spoke about Boolarra’s history throughout the world wars, before reading the ANZAC requiem.

Two-up comes to Traralgon

By Bryce Campbell bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au TWO-UP will be at Traralgon for the Anzac Day races thanks to some handy intervention from the Minister for Gaming Michael O’Brien. Due to ﬂooding, the races were moved from Moe to Traralgon, but because of the last minute nature of the change, the application for the two-up to be transferred was denied. Brendan Blackshaw, the Latrobe Valley Racing Club’s manager, said it was great to see that decision reversed. “It’s an attraction that creates that link between the remembrance on the day and the event here. It’s good to see it approved when it was looking like it mightn’t be. It’s a big drawcard on the day,” he said. Morwell MLA Russell Northe said he was pleased that the event would

stay in the Latrobe Valley.

“Our fear was the while the race had been transferred, the twoup component would not be. We approached the minister while he was in the Valley to see if we could fast-track the application to bring two-up to Traralgon, and within 48 hours that was achieved, which is a tremendous result,” he said. Traralgon RSL secretary Maurie Harrison said the best part about two-up was that there was no limit ▪ Morwell MLA Russell Northe, LVRC chairman Brian Quigley, Traralgon RSL secretary Maurie Harrison, to the number of participants.

Two-up will be played on course between 2pm and 5pm.

How to play two-up

Two up is a traditional Australian gambling game favoured by the Diggers. Pennies are the preferred coins being the ideal weight and size. Two coins are tossed into the air from a wooden “kip”, with punters betting on whether the coins will land with both heads up, both tails up or odds (one head, one tail). “Come in spinner” is the call for the coins to be tossed.

What Anzac Day means to me By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

WHEN I was younger, Anzac Day was always a strange event that I wasn’t entirely sure about. I never understood why so many people were marching and holding ceremonies, as there were only a couple of the original Anzac soldiers still alive. Fast forward a few years, and it dawned on me that the day was a chance for all Australians to celebrate the men and women who defended our country in all wars, not just the diggers in WWI. It was at about this time that I learned that my grandfather served in WWII in the Transport Corps, driving not only military vehicles but serving as a driver for high-ranked oﬃcers. I remember marching with my father in Morwell on Anzac Day after my grandfather passed away, and ﬁnally understanding what the day meant, and why so many people marched. Anzac Day gives all of us a chance to honour the members of our families and the wider community that helped make Australia the country it is today. Although I haven’t marched in many years, I always try and watch the Anzac Day parade, because while my granddad may not have been on the frontline, he was important to my family and I, and Anzac Day is a day to remember his contribution to Australia.

ANZAC DAY

Lest we Forget

A salute to those who served By Niall Boyle

niall.boyle@lvvoice.com.au

THE spirit of mateship and qualities of courage and sacriﬁce have an enduring relevance and meaning on Anzac Day. Traralgon resident Chris Hoy is one of many Valley residents who will remember a loved one who served overseas. His father, Reuben Henry Hoy, nicknamed Joe, enlisted on June 20, 1940 – embarking from Sydney on February 2, 1941, to serve in the Paciﬁc theatre. Born in Brunswick, Melbourne, Joe was part of the 2/10 Australian Field Company (Eighth Division), which saw him posted in Singapore during its fall. He was known as a “Sapper” – primarily his duties involved driving, engineering works and

logistics. “He never really talked about his time overseas,” said Chris. “Obviously he was proud to have been part of it on Anzac Day but he never discussed serving with me, apart from the odd tale. “Anzac Day has an extra signiﬁcance for me, we should forgive – but never, ever forget. “We can’t even begin to appreciate what sort of circumstances these blokes went through.” Joe’s war story is familiar with those searching for information about their own relatives. Documents were released under Freedom of Information, and everything is factually intact, but Joe’s exact movements aren’t so clear. He was reported to be in Malaya, a collection of loose

states in current day Singapore, on December 6, 1941. The Fall of Singapore is notorious as the largest British military capitulation in modern history, with 80,000 troops seized by the Japanese Axis powers. Joe was one of the few lucky ones to survive being captured. His brother, Frankie, was killed enroute to Japan, after being captured as a POW. Joe somehow managed to show up 168 days, and 2,600kms of occupied territory later, in Sri Lanka. Chris reckons his father’s love of the native tongue kept him alive. He explained: “He was only a short bloke, about 5ft 4in, so he wouldn’t have stood out that much from the natives. “He picked up their language and we reckon that’s

why he was able to get that far, without being picked up by the Japanese. But still, those 168 days are still a mystery to us even now – he never talked to us about what happened.” After returning to Oz in 1942, Joe was stationed to numerous posts across the country – before being discharged in October 1945 after 1,774 days of service. After the war, Joe enjoyed a long career with General Motors Holden – before moving to Traralgon with his wife Ellen in the late 80s. He passed away in 1998, but enjoyed his retirement at Pettit St – and was fond of caravanning with his wife and listening to music. Joe remained a proud military man until his death, insisting that a rising sun and a sapper emblem be placed upon his plaque.

these road closures are inconvenient for some of our residents, however these measures are necessary for ensuring community safety, which is our ﬁrst priority. “A road safety audit was conducted on all of these roads and the necessary works are being undertaken so that we can reopen the roads and get back to business as usual as soon as possible,” Cr Blackwood said.

Valley identified as a geothermal hot spot THE Latrobe Valley is a geothermal hot spot and a prime location for a geothermal power station, according to a Melbourne University expert. Professor Rachel Webster, who is preparing a report for the State Government on geothermal opportunities in Victoria, met with Latrobe City Council’s Climate Change Consultative Committee recently. The committee chair, Latrobe City councillor Lisa Price, said that developments in geothermal power had great potential in the region. “Professor Webster explained that Latrobe Valley is a hot spot and a favourite for a potential geothermal power station due to the blanket of brown coal, which provides excellent insulation and because of the existing infrastructure and energy-distribution network.

“We know that the technology and skills for the power plants already exist in Latrobe Valley, but further work needs to be done on deep drilling and the underground ﬂuid circulation. “Previously, cost estimates of developing geothermal energy have been a major constraint. However, with the introduction of a carbon price this could tip the balance to be almost as competitive as coal. “Listening to Professor Webster’s presentation was informative and thought-provoking and deﬁnitely a subject worth pursuing with some interest.” Latrobe City has developed Positioning Latrobe City for a Low Carbon Emissions Future to provide council with a framework to overcome challenges and maximise opportunities in a carbonconstrained economy.

REPRESENTATIVES from Arts Victoria visited Latrobe Regional Gallery last Wednesday, April 13, to drum up interest in the $200,000 Indigenous Cultural Expressions project, a major public art commission. Alice Park and Elizabeth Liddle met with Julie Adams, arts director for the Latrobe City Council, Fiona

West, gallery curator, and Mike Answerth, executive oﬃcer for the Gippsland Education Precinct Board. Ms Park said Arts Victoria was seeking all forms of art that celebrated Indigenous culture. “Arts Victoria is now managing the Arts Commission and we

are wanting it, (the artwork), to promote Victorian Indigenous culture and celebrating the career of Aboriginal artists,” she said. The commission is open to artists, organisations and project teams across the state. The submissions will take an estimated 10 weeks to review and will then be shortlisted down to ﬁve.

Ms Liddle told the group: “The work can be made in Gippsland but we want it to travel to the whole of Victoria, so it isn’t site-speciﬁc. If it was site-speciﬁc, it would have to have a large impact.” For more information go to www.arts.vic.gov.au/ indigenousculturalexpressions.

New taxi rank opens A NEW, $176,000, three-bay taxi rank in George St, Morwell, is now fully operational. Latrobe City mayor Darrell White said the old taxi rank had limited shelter for both drivers and patrons and needed a facelift.

It is constructed of steel and has provision for wheelchair users. Tanjil ward councillor Bruce Lougheed said that construction meant changes to traffic flow in the Coles supermarket. He said the shelter was a definite improvement both in terms of the professional look and feel of the area and the health, safety and wellbeing of taxi users and drivers.

Ofﬁcers to provide skills and labour link

▪ Minister Peter Hall announces the appointment of four industry link officers for the Valley. FOUR new industry link officers – whose job it will be to connect employers, government, labour groups and education providers to build long-term skills and training strategies – have been appointed to the Latrobe Valley. Minister for Higher Education and Skills Peter Hall announced the appointments last week at Latrobe Regional Gallery in Morwell. The officers will be employed under the State Government’s $10 million Skilling the Valley project. They will be established in the Latrobe City Council, the Victorian Employers Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI), Gippsland Trades and Labour Council and the Gippsland Education Precinct.

Mr Hall said consultation had taken place with council and the education precinct. Projected changes – such as a low-carbon future - and needs were ascertained. “We then proceeded with an audit of the skills needed for the future. We have significant funding for training. There may be a change of nature within jobs (in the Latrobe Valley). We need to look into what is needed in the future,” he said. Morwell MLA Russell Northe said the officers would work with local training providers to increase the uptake of foundation-level courses. Mr Northe said this would allow residents to access a range of qualifications to improve literacy, numeracy, language and work skills.

COMMUNITY HUB EVENTS

Fun-filled Scientwists visit CHURCHILL kids were treated to a day of smoke, flames and floating ping-pong balls at the Community Hub last week. The Hub played host to special guests, The Scientwists, from Echuca. The Scientwists showed children that science has magic of its own and that it doesn’t take a magician to do some exciting tricks. The day was designed to entertain as well as educate, with children learning about the effects of gravity as well as air and fire. Kicking off with a bang, the Scientwists demonstrated how a teabag could become a rocket with a pair of scissors and a match, before showing how a bucket with a hole in it can be used to shoot plastic cups off children’s heads. They went on to show how gravity and eggs can create a great trick, before finishing with a demonstration that created a fireball from corn flour. The Community Hub is planning on having more events for kids in the future so keep an eye out or contact them on 5122 2955.

Life drawing RUNNING on Mondays from May 2 until June 27, the untutored life drawing program gives participants a chance to interact with other artists as well as improve their drawing skills in a relaxed atmosphere. Easels, boards, clips and light refreshments are included, with participants required to provide their own paper, charcoal, pencils, ink etc.

Water damage at student units AFTER the downpour early last week, some Monash University Gippsland students found their living space to be slightly waterlogged. The downpour on Wednesday morning resulted in one of the units at the south residences being impacted

Police seek armed man POLICE have released an image of a man who is wanted in relation to two separate incidents in Churchill this month.

Bound together by books and history BOOKBINDING is an age-old process where pages are bound together to form a book, publications are bound together to form volumes or antique publications are restored to their former glory. Bookbinding can include family Bibles, colonial bindings, magazine binding, artist’s folders, albums of all genres, newspapers, diary and appointment books, simple art pieces, mountings and journals. Yarragon bookbinder Peter Lendon says it is becoming more popular to seek an expert to restore precious memories as people are, more than ever, holding on to history. Mr Lendon is a renowned bookbinder with 50 years of experience. Originally from Enﬁeld, in the North of London, he came to Australia and worked in various organisations while travelling around the country. He began working in the Latrobe

Valley because he saw a market niche, but he was not expecting his craft to be in such high demand. Mr Lendon was only looking to start his bookbinding business on a part-time basis, but he soon realised that there was also a need for a bookshop in the area as well. Now the Yarragon Bookshop is home to his craft and is open six days a week to the public - unless he is away on holiday roaming the country, which seems to be a regular occurrence! Mr Lendon is in the process of restoring a book that dates back to 1815, which apparently will take anywhere up to 10 hours to complete. “I absolutely love it,” he says. “We get to read about history as well and I have always been very literate and loved books.” There are some courses at RMIT that teach basic bookbinding and some more in-depth courses in Canberra, but Mr Lendon believes

Senior Citizens MOE Senior Citizens took a trip to Phillip Island last Tuesday, April 12, and had a great time, despite the dreadful weather. The senior citizens took a bus to the island, travelling via Thorpdale, Mirboo North, Leongatha, Inverloch, Wonthaggi and Korumburra, and enjoying 10 games of bingo on the way. At Cowes they had lunch and took a stroll around town before heading back to Moe. Over 55s are eligible to join Moe Senior Citizens for $2 per year. To join come along to the Langford Street Senior Citizens Centre. The group meets after tap dancing at 10.50am on Fridays.

▪ Barry Kieghtly demonstrates how to use a gold blocking press back in 1962. the best place to learn the art in great detail these days is in Switzerland. The Gold Blocking Press, situated behind the counter in Mr Lendon’s store, dates back to 1900. It used to be heated by gas and when he first used it apparently the flames were emanating from the old machine. Now he has it working through electricity but it is still a magnificent

looking contraption. The blocking press heats the old letter stamps, which are placed on a gold sheet of paper, almost like cellophane. Then the stamps are placed on the material of the book to imprint the type. Available is also a manual tool for imprinting letters called a ‘ﬁllet’.

Savige celebrate family reunion ▪ The seven elderly grandchildren of the two original brothers who settled in Gippsland - Bob Walpole, Con Savige, Stan Savige, Walter Savige, David Walpole, Anne Cowan and Peg Cook.

THE 16th family reunion of the John and Thomas Savige family and the related Russell and Powell families was held at Narracan Falls recently.

The two pioneer brothers between them had 86 grandchildren of whom 11 survive – seven of those were at the reunion.

The day was held on the site of the original 1874 selection. Many family members still live in the area.

The kids had a great day participating in series of sack races and enjoying an aerial ﬂyover by a local pilot, who’s also a family member.

The ﬁrst reunion was held in 1961 to celebrate the 90th birthday of Bert Savige, a son of the original pioneers. Two hundred family and friends attended a fun-ﬁlled day, with perfect weather and blue sunny skies.

Nothing like a sausage sizzle IT is no surprise that the Lions Club do a sterling job when it comes to fundraising. What is surprising is how often the members from Moe Lions get out on Moore St (in all kinds of weather) and make so much money from sausages! There is something to be said for the smell of a sausage sizzle when out and about shopping though, and the proof is in the money being raised. Arnold Siinmaa has been a member of the Lions Club for 33 years. He came to Australia back in 1947 as a “displaced person” from Estonia. “My friends were in the Lions and I had always wanted to do something for the community.

When we had our two boys and they got older, I had some spare time, so I joined,” he said. “Back when I started, we didn’t have any ladies. Now we have the Lions Ladies, who are our wives and we take them to a restaurant. We also have a secretary and vicepresident who are ladies. There are some middle-age people who join and every year we put on an Australia Day brekkie and have a bonﬁre for Guy Fawkes day.” Mr Siinmaa said the club gave its fundraising proceeds to various community groups. Recently it was able to give cheques to the Moe CFA and Moe South CFA for $500 each.

YOU do realise that Easter has nothing to do with Jesus Christ? Well, not originally it didn’t. Oh, you thought it was about eating as much chocolate as possible and avoiding manky fish that’s a week past its use-by because it’s hard to get a good local supply? Well I suppose it is about that too, if you are one of those lazy non-believers who still wants the time off work for a religious festival that has no relevance to your life. I probably should stop right there, seeing as I’ve managed to offend both Christians and atheists already, but hey, I’m on a roll. And I’ve never really been that good at self-censorship (or selfpreservation for that matter). You see, now that we have Google and Wikipedia, there is no excuse for historical (and convenient) ignorance when it comes to our modern lives and the rituals we keep. My research indicates that Easter began as a Pagan (meaning worship of multiple deities) celebration of the Goddess Eastre and a festival was held in her honour every spring to celebrate new life. Only later did it come to represent the resurrection of Jesus. Hot cross buns are said to have been eaten by the Saxons in their worship of the aforementioned Eastre, and represented the four quarters of the moon. Similarly the modern-day rituals of sharing chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny have their roots in pagan symbolism relating to fertility and new life. Nothing to do with the son of God. All of which presents somewhat of a quandary for a mum who, in a quest to Keep it Real for her kids, Ali G style, wonders now what to do with the treasure chest of eggs yet to be delivered by the Easter Bunny. Horror and dismay to discover the true nature of this quaint and joyful custom has its roots in Pagan worship and witchcraft, rather than honouring our Lord and Saviour. In all good conscience I cannot allow my kids to be a part of this sinful practice. So I will eat all their eggs myself.

Supplements fact or fiction?

with Sam Fenton

Q. Are protein drinks worth it? A. Depends on how you are exercising. SINCE snake oil was the cure for all our ailments, we have been both excited and sucked in by exciting claims of an easy way to improve our bodies: to be stronger, skinnier, feel better and get rid of injuries.

Just as a gag, check out a body building mag next time you are in the newsagency and see if you believe any of the claims made in the ads. If you eat your meat and three vegetables plus fruit and nuts, you have no need for supplements, unless you are conducting heavy workouts in the gym, footy ﬁeld or pool. That is where supplements can help. Think of your muscles as a brick wall, protein being the bricks and carbohydrate providing the labour to build that wall. When you overload your muscles (the wall), it breaks down. You may need some bricks (protein) and a brickie (carbs) to

Sad and soggy roses

WE have had a large number of enquiries regarding rose bushes recently. Many people have reported that their roses are not doing as well as they have in previous years: their growth is slower, the ﬂowers have not been as good and they have been losing a lot of leaves. One thing to remember about roses is that they don’t like to have wet feet (roots). For the past eight to 10 years we have had very dry conditions but now your roses are likely to

be feeling the effects of this year’s enduring wet weather. It is quite normal to see rose gardens constructed at a higher level to the surrounding area. This encourages better drainage and helps to ensure that the roots of plants do not become waterlogged. Despite gardeners’ best efforts to build up their rose beds and protect their plants from damp, the relentless wet weather has proven too much for many plants. Excess water may suffocate the roots of your

rebuild that wall. When you workout, or just work hard, you body creates “transporters”. Think of these transporters as a truck containing the brickies and the bricks. This truck is only around for about 30 minutes. This is called the window of opportunity. If you miss the window, your brickies will have to carry their own bricks and ﬁnd their way (slowly) to the wall that needs rebuilding. Hence the recovery process takes much longer, and you may not be at your best for your next workout. Your normal daily food intake covers all of your protein and carbohydrate needs, unless you

plant causing leaf discolouration or drop, and force the plant to compensate for root loss by reducing its growth. It is really quite diﬃcult to remedy this situation without doing a large amount of work. You may choose to dig up your plants and build up the area again or to add some new sandy soil to the bed. If you are happy with the beds the way they are you can quite easily add an emollient such as gypsum, which will help the soil drain better in time. As your plants begin to shut down for autumn/winter, it is important to ensure there is no waterlogging taking place near the roots of the plant. By taking the time to resolve any problems now you will help ensure your much-loved roses survive the winter months and return at the end of the year with some new spectacular growth and ﬂowers. Happy gardening.

start working out like an athlete or a body builder. If you start breaking your muscles down (you will know it), it may be time for supplements. Once you are skilled in the art of working out – protein drinks are your best friend. Before that they are simply extra kilojoules, which may lead to extra body fat. If unsure, any dietician can tell you what is appropriate for your workload.

TRARALGON Little Athletics awards night was held recently, with local kids receiving recognition for their hard work throughout the season. The awards go to athletes who have shown outstanding dedication and commitment to Little Athletics through regular attendance, full participation in centre meets, attitude toward fellow athletes and oﬃcials, breaking records and participation in other events (such as relays, regional and state championships). Another award given out on the night was the Leanne Harris Memorial Award. Leanne was

heavily involved with Little Athletics, before tragically passing away in 2009 in the Kokoda plane crash. The other major award category was the disciplined athlete awards, which are given to participants who understand and abide by the rules, demonstrate sportsmanship at all times and show respect to oﬃcials, athletes and supporters. The club would like to congratulate all athletes who received awards, and to all who participated during the season.

TRARALGON golf club hosted the Addison Junior Golf Clinics last week, an event that has been running for many years. The club’s Wayne Baker said that the clinic is one of the best junior development programs in the state. “We’ve seen some of the young kids become full members, and then go on to play the pennant in Melbourne. Some have become pretty serious golfers,” he said. Josh Cardillo, who participated in the event, showed some skill in the chipping practice. “It was about a centimeter away from the bucket, it must have hit it and bounced oﬀ,” he exclaimed.

Baseball kicks off in the Valley TRARALGON Redsox are off to a dominant start in the Loy Yang B LV Baseball 2011 season, overpowering Morwell Cougars 13 to three in the A grade competition. After a great start from Morwell, and looking to control the match, Traralgon kicked into gear in the latter end of the match, scoring nine runs including a home run from Owen Godenzi and a brilliant double play from John Kus. Sale Rangers were too strong for Churchill Braves, with the Rangers’ Will Hector leading the charge by pitching outstandingly, the Braves having no answer as the Rangers played out the full nine inning match in an intense pressure game, ending one to four. In the B grade, Sale again overpowered Churchill, winning nine to one, holding off any chances the Braves made to get runners across the plate. Churchill’s batters were only able to record three safe hits and one run before time and game was called. Traralgon and Morwell had a close game, with the Redsox jumping out of the blocks scoring five runs to Morwell’s one

in the ﬁrst. The game turned in the fourth inning as Morwell took advantage of some untidy Redsox ﬁelding evening the game at seven a piece. Redsox was able to take control of the game in the last innings, shutting the Cougars down and ending the game eight to 11. The C grade results had a classic battle between two of the top sides, Churchill and Sale, with Churchill holding onto a

two-run early lead until Ranger Rhiannon Clark brought their hitting game to an end at nine to 11. Traralgon dominated Morwell, amassing a total of 16 safe hits to Morwell’s three. Ian Beames and Paul Ballinger both hit home runs, but it was the duo of Wes Duggan and Steve Barnes that picked up four hits a piece to do the majority of the damage, with the ﬁnal score 21 to four.

Fortuna leads the way FORTUNA has established itself as back-to-back Premiership contenders after thrashing Falcons in the grand final replay 4-0. Fortuna dominated for the majority of the match, proving that its quick, offensive style of play gets results. Daniel Dunne opened up the scoring in the seventh minute after some blistering leg work from the Fortuna midfield. Falcons settled down after the early goal and managed to make some attacks of their own, but were repelled by a consistent defensive effort. The second half was much more decisive with Fortuna surging after the break. Hayden Tanti and Matthew Coward netted two goals in as many minutes, with Tanti adding his second a few minutes later. After the blitz, Falcons crumbled and only managed to prevent any more goals thanks to some desperate defending in the back half. The win has set up Fortuna as the team to beat in the 2011 season. Sale United managed a

comfortable win over Tyers Lightning 2-0. United got off to a great start with Dean Nichols goaling in the fifth minute. Tyers tried to slow down the game and regain control, but was thwarted when Raymond Allred broke through for another goal 15 minutes later. After the break, Tyers kept up the pressure and forced Sale on the defensive but were unable to score, keeping the final score locked at 2-0. Monash Wolves defeated Newborough-Yallourn 3-1 in a match that showcased its versatility as a team. It was all Monash early, with Rayvel Whiting, Matt Beasley and Ashley Birell all scoring in the first half. For Newborough, it was a tough game that had them looking flat in comparison to last week. Things were made worse when captain Jamie Dunn went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. The second half was little better, Jeremy Dunn managed to score a consolation goal for in the final minutes. Moe United beat Churchill

Hammond the stand out cricketer for third year running

GORMANDALE Cricket Club captain Kent Hammond confirmed his status as the best player of the modern era in Traralgon cricket when he won his third A grade league best player award. Hammond is only the second player to have won three awards in the history of the Traralgon District Cricket Association. Team of the century captain, the Late Alan “Brusher” Anton, is the only one to exceed Hammond’s achievements – he won four medals. In accepting his award, a humble Hammond acknowledged the umpires, his teammates and his opponents. He said that while he was bitterly disappointed to lose the grand final, he was sure his beloved Tigers would be back again next year for another shot at the title. Hammond had a brilliant season, scoring 422 runs and taking 17 wickets. Mark Nicholls and Steve Wright tied for second place while Four players tied for third on 11 votes – Grantley Switzer, Dylan Spence, Tom Shippen and Steve Nicholls. Another highlight of the presentation, held last week, was the attendance of Len Cox, who presented the medal named in his honour. Len left Traralgon in the 1960s and this was his first return back to the TDCA. Trophy winners 2010/11

AFTER starting the season without a B grade – and years without the full complement of teams Yarragon has stepped up and now has six teams in the Mid Gippsland netball competition. At home to Thorpdale on the weekend, the Panthers managed a win in C grade but went down to the Blues in all other grades.

Thorpdale is in top spot on the A grade ladder at the completion of round three, ahead of Morwell East on percentage. In other match ups at the weekend, Morwell East dominated Boolarra, winning all six games, and Mirboo North and Trafalgar recorded three wins apiece. Mirboo North shooter Jess

Thomson conquers Boolarra climb B GRADE cyclist Geoff Thomson crossed the finish line in first place after a sprint for the finish line in the second road race of the season for Latrobe City Cycling Club (LCCC), last Sunday. Thomson headed a trio of B grade riders making up the top three to cross the finish line. Roland Elsdon and Rob Monk took second and third positions ahead of A grade riders Michael Krausz and Chris Joustra. The combined A/B grade race, held over a tough three laps of the 25km circuit at Boolarra, was full of attacks, particularly in the final lap. More than 20 riders, including

juniors, took to the tough Boolarra course, with C grade riders completing two laps and junior and D grade riders one lap. The next race for club members will be the Stratford to Bairnsdale combined, hosted by Wellington Cycling Club on Sunday, May 1. On Saturday, May 7, LCCC will race its 2011 Road Race Championships at Willow Grove. The championship race will be 90kms, while the juniors will race 12kms. There will be support races for those that don’t want to contest the championships. More details and coming races can be found on the club’s website at www.latrobecitycc.org.au

SOCCER NOTES

Moe Utd

IN the Second Division, Moe got taught a lesson in how to play soccer. An inexperienced and under manned Moe was defeated 9-0 by a quality Churchill. Jordan Fenech scored seven times for Churchill in the 9-0 thumping. In the reserves, Moe and Churchill battled through a tough first half to come out at 0-0. In the second-half, Moe ran out of legs and Churchill took advantage by scoring two unanswered goals and winning the game 2-0. Moe defeated Churchill for the first time in the seniors since the 2007 grand final. Moe looked a different side from last week’s 6-1 defeat at the hands of Fortuna. It came out with a different intensity and a positive mindset. Matt Shearing opened the account for Moe in the first half and that’s the way it stayed at half time, 1-0 to Moe. In the second-half, Matt Shearing scored again to make the score 2-0 and should have made it three not long after but shot just wide of the post. Churchill pushed forward to try find an answer to Moe’s two goals but luck wasn’t on its side. Every possible opportunity that could have gone wrong did and Churchill didn’t find the back of the net. Final score 2-0 Moe, a much-needed win for the club. Our next home game is on May 22 against our cross town rivals Newborough.
