HISTORY MAKER

A SALE family has won their battle to stay together after an exhausting four years.

Businessman and father Gagandeep Singh h was lastt week k giiven a patthway to a permanent partner visa, allowing him to remain in Australia.

The Gippsland Times first reported in April that Gagandeep, also known as Gavy, was near the end of the line with his bridging visa.

Unless it was extended or a new visa was given, Gagandeep would be forced to leave Australia and go back to India, separating him from his wife Phoebe and their four-year-old son Jarro, who live together in Sale.

The saga has gone through numerous ups and downs, with Gagandeep stuck in limbo as various visas were given and denied, and decisions delayed. The family and their lawyer tried to get Ministerial Intervention under the previous Coalition government, which would allow the Immigration Minister to give a visa at their discretion. The Ministerial Intervention was refused twice.

The new Labor government gave Gagandeep another bridging visa on June 15, valid until

September. As far as the Singh family was concerned, they were back at square one.

But last Tuesday, Phoebe reached out to the Gippsland Times with some news.

“We won,” Phoebe said.

“Gavy y can stay y. He doesn’t have to leave.

“We are finally fii at the end. All we have to do is applly for a partner visa … th hat’’s literallly it.

“It was totally out of the blue. I couldn’t believe it.”

Phoebe was at work that day, and their lawyer tried to call her. Phoebe, an aged care worker who suffers from multiple health complications, didn’t answer the phone as she didn’t want to hear more bad news, so she asked Gagandeep to call him back.

“I rang our lawyer. He said we won. Third time lucky,” Gagandeep told the Gippsland Times.

“I was finishing up at work. It was 6pm and I stopped what I was doing. It literally made me cry.”

Immigration lawyer Joseph Italiano had been working on the Singh family’s behalf for years to achieve this outcome.

“The new Labor Minister for Immigration, Andrew Giles, has granted Gagandeep a pathway to permanent residency. He’s now on a one-year tourist visa with work rights first,

and when he has the money, he can apply for a partner visa,” Mr Italiano said.

“Minister Giles has shown compassion and humanity, despite two refusals from the previous government, to allow this family to remain together. I’m m not sure why the previous Immig gration Minister,, Alex Hawke,, did not intervene. It was inconceivable that he wouldn’t show some compassion, especially when an Australian child was involved.

“If Gagandeep applies for the partner visa, I would expect on compelling grounds they can process it as a priority. They can give the family closure, which would be a benefit for Phoebe’s health.

“It’s a team effort from everyone, including the press, who made this issue public. A lot of immigrants are worried about going to the press.

In this case, we saw that humanity prevailed over bureaucratic advice.”

The win comes following overwhelming community support for the Singh family to stay together, with an online petition for Gagandeep to stay in Australia garnering 8825 signatures on Change.org.

Improved discharge process A NEW project in Gippsland will ultimately make a patient’s discharge from hospital to their doctor for ongoing care a seamless process.

The project is in response to feedback from doctors and patients over a long period of time.

Their concerns included issues with the format of discharge summaries to Gippsland general practices following acute episodes of hospital care.

Gippsland Primary Health Network (Gippsland PHN) and Latrobe Regional Hospital (LRH) have responded to this feedback with an initiative to investigate using the Electronic Medical Record to improve the quality of discharge summaries as a tool for handover of care.

“We know the frustration from our doctors when they often discover their patients have had a serious episode that has required hospitalisation and after the patient is discharged, they don’t have all the information to support their ongoing care,” Ms Proposch said.

“We are looking for a new format that clearly communicates the information GPs need to take over the care of patients after they have been discharged from hospitals.

“We all want a safe handover of care and the current system in use can be much better.”

THE state government is supporting small businesses to improve indoor air-quality, keeping staff and customers safe this winter.

Last week, Minister for Small Business Jaala Pulford launched the next round of the $60 million Small Business Ventilation Program.

Eligible businesses can access between $500 and $5000 for air ventilation and filtration equipment, works or professional services that will help improve air quality indoors.

Improving ventilation not only helps reduce the spread of COVID-19 it gives customers confidence businesses are doing everything they can to keep them safe.

Under the program, businesses can apply for two types of support:  Ventilation Rebate - a $500 rebate to take immediate actions such as purchasing an air purifier or hiring a qualified tradesperson to undertake minor services to improve ventilation; and  Ventilation Grant - matched grants between $1000 and $5000 to invest in larger projects such as building works or engaging professional services or equipment to improve ventilation.

It comes as the state government’s ‘Stay Well in Winter’ campaign encourages everyone to take

JAALA PULFORD sensible, preventative actions to protect each other this winter.

Applications will be assessed for eligibility on a first-come, first-served basis until 11pm Thursday, September 8, or when funds are exhausted.

For more information on the program visit business.vic.gov.au.

improved discharge process may lead to better outcomes and recovery times for patients.

“Our team is hoping timely and responsive care in the community will reduce the risk of a patient being readmitted to LRH. This coordinated approach certainly has the potential to do so,” Mr McRae said.

The project will be undertaken over 12 months.

The Gippsland Health Alliance will work with a group of general practitioners.

It is hoped the new discharge summary will be implemented by June 30 2023.

Any news to tell?

Gippsland PHN will fund the Gippsland Health Alliance to undertake the pilot and work with a focus group of general practitioners.

The key objective is to design a discharge summary format that is acceptable to general practitioners and fit for purpose as a tool for handing over a patient’s care from the hospital to their doctor.

Gippsland PHN chief executive, Amanda Proposch said the announcement of this important partnership was a great outcome for the community, and came after discussions between LRH and the chairs of Gippsland PHN’s Clinical Advisory Councils.

Course for livestock hobby farmers is coming RSPCA Victoria will run a short course for hobby farmers in October on the back of the success of a session it ran in July.

The We bought a Farmlet half-day course is for anyone who owns a farmlet or is interested in hobby farming as more people opt for a tree change post pandemic.

It will provide an introduction to owning and caring for livestock on small acreages to optimise animal health and wellbeing.

Pandemic disaster payments have been reinstated

THE Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment has been reinstated, following a National Cabinet meeting on Saturday.

Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly provided an update on the pandemic, including new variants and their potential impact, and the impacts on hospital capacity and broader health system.

A new wave of COVID-19 infections driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants is increasing the pressure on the health system.

In recognition of the risks associated with more infectious new variants through winter, the Commonwealth agreed to reinstate the Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment to September 30, 2022.

Eligibility for the payment will be backdated to July 1, 2022, to ensure that anyone unable to work owing to isolation requirements in this period, without access to paid sick leave, can receive support.

Access to these payments will start from Wednesday July 20, with existing eligibility

requirements to continue.

The Commonwealth and all States and Territories agreed to share the costs of the payment 50:50.

In addition, the Commonwealth government will also reinstate the Crisis Payment - National Health Emergency (COVID-19) until September 30, 2022, with eligibility also to be backdated to July 1, 2022.

This will ensure people affected by COVID-19 isolation requirements who receive an income

support payment or ABSTUDY Living Allowance, and who are in severe financial hardship, continue to receive support through winter.

The Commonwealth has further agreed to create a new, temporary telehealth item, so GPs can spend longer with their patients to assess their suitably for oral COVID-19 antivirals. This will enable those most vulnerable to COVID-19 to quickly access medical treatments and help ease the burden on hospitals.

The Singhs were also interviewed by ABC Gippsland and the Nine Network.

Member for Gippsland Darren Chester spoke highly of the family on A Current Affair, shortly before the election.

“I’ve written a letter of support for the family, because I recognise that they’ve got a legitimate case to put to the minister,” Mr Chester said.

“They’ve been employing people and keeping themselves employed at a time when we need people who want to make their contribution to our region.”

Phoebe and Gagandeep originally met in Sale through friends. Gagandeep had come to Australia as a student.

“I’ve been living in Sale for 12 years now. It’s my home,” Gagandeep said.

“I’m from a different culture and have adopted this new culture, so I’m glad we live in a good community that supports us. I’m looking forward to a few drinks over the weekend.

“I’d like to thank everyone who helped us during a tough time, including those I work with. And I thank Joseph Italiano, our lawyer.”

Phoebe also wished to thank the public.

“When we’re out in the community garden, a lot of people ask me how things are going, and ask if there’s anything they can do for me, which is really nice,” Phoebe said.

With Gagandeep leaving the country a real possibility, the family couldn’t plan for the future. He wanted to have another child with Phoebe, buy a house and expand his business, but had to put those plans on hold while waiting for the immigration process to play out.

“I had to downsize my business,” Gagandeep said.

“I had four trucks, two full-time employees and one casual. I now have zero employees and just one truck, but it’s not too late to start over.

“I’m working on a big rail project in Morwell. I move dirt around with the tip truck.”

Gagandeep and Phoebe’s son Jarro, who loves Pokémon and Super Mario, still doesn’t understand what is going on.

“I tried explaining to him that daddy may have to go away. He didn’t like that idea,” Phoebe said.

“He understood that part, but not much beyond that. He is only four.

“But I think Jarro did feel the tension for a while, because there was a point where there was only two days before Gagandeep had to leave and we hadn’t heard anything.”

Asked what Jarro thinks about the fact that his dad can stay in Australia, Jarro raised his arms in the air excitedly and yelled “yaaaah”.

Jarro loves trucks. He wants to drive a truck when he grows up, like his father. He doesn’t want a brother or sister, he wants his mum and dad all to himself.

“We’ve tried to convince him, so we’ll just have to have the child and give it to him,” Gagandeep laughed.

Mental health help for schools THE state government is helping regional Victorian students access a suite of mental health tools to help them thrive in school and life.

Kangaroo Flat Primary School in Bendigo will be one of the first schools to receive funding under the state governments $200 million Schools Mental Health program, to implement a range of tailored mental health supports for students.

The program delivers a key recommendation of the Royal Commission into Mental Health - to support social and emotional wellbeing in schools - and is underpinned by an online evidence-based menu enabling schools to select the mental health tools that best match the needs of each student.

The program will start rolling out to all government schools across regional Victoria, with a full roll-out by 2024 to all state schools.

A framework was provided to schools in 2021, for them to be able to start planning and selecting programs across three tiers of intervention.

Tier one will provide positive mental health promotion, including initiatives such as mental health first aid, antibullying programs and therapy dogs that help create positive and inclusive environments across the school.

The second tier will support early intervention and specialised initiatives such as cross-cultural responsiveness training, arts therapy or trauma

informed care, and the third tier is targeted at individualised support such as additional mental health professionals for those experiencing mental health issues.

Minister for Education, Natalie Hutchins welcomed the news.

“The Schools Mental Health Fund will help ensure young people to have access to the right tools to support their mental health,” she said.

“By investing in initiatives that put students’ health and wellbeing at the forefront with targeted support, we will help them reach their potential.”

In addition, the Victorian Budget 2022/23 has invested $41.3 million to sustain mental health

services for schools, including continuation of the LOOKOUT program and headspace initiative.

The state government will also continue the Mental Health Practitioners initiative, ensuring students can access mental health support at all Victorian government secondary and specialist schools.

The government is also expanding the Mental Health in Primary Schools program to all government and low-fee non-government primary schools, enabling schools to employ a Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader and implement a whole-school approach to wellbeing.

Higher education campus officially launched in Sale Tom Parry

A NEW higher education satellite hub has been launched in Sale.

Known officially as Study Hub - Sale, the facility is being hosted by Gippsland TAFE at its Flexible Learning Centre (FLC) campus in Desailly Street, with the support of local stakeholders.

Its stakeholders include Federation University, Wellington Shire, Beyond Bank and the Gippsland East Local Learning & Employment Network (GELLEN).

GELLEN executive officer Pam Waters said the availability of local learning spaces for students studying higher education was critically important for their learning journey.

“Having a place to study away from home and work contributes to successful course completion outcomes,” Ms Waters said.

She added that the Hub “will meet the needs of the local students, allowing them to reduce travel time and costs while enjoying excellent educational facilities”.

The launch of Study Hub - Sale took place last Thursday, with speeches provided by TAFE Gippsland interim chief executive Linda Austin and GELLEN chair Howard Williams.

Also in attendance was Jonathan Williams, who will undertake the role of Learning Skills Advisor at the Hub. Mr Williams described the venue as a fantastic resource.

“I grew up in East Gippsland, and … I know how difficult it can be for a lot of students to actually attend university, physically, when they’re located so far away from the university,” Mr Williams said.

“Having a resource available for them physically where they can come and have a more campus-like

Study Hub - Sale is the second such facility to be located in East Gippsland, with the first having opened in Bairnsdale in 2020.

The venue will be open to students enrolled at any Australian university or TAFE, 24 hours a day.

Nakunbalook to open

Reminder to maintain waterwaste systems

WELLINGTON Shire Council is reminding landowners whose properties are not connected to reticulated sewerage, about requirements under law for maintaining their onsite wastewater management systems (OWMS).

The environmental laws include obligations to operate correctly and maintain the OWMS, commonly known as a septic tank system, and ensure it does not overflow.

Under the Environment Protection Act 2017 and Environment Protection Regulations 2021, property owners of land that use an OWMS to dispose of wastewater must do the following:  Ensure the system is maintained in good working order;  Have aerated wastewater treatment plants serviced by a service agent every three months in line with the manufacturer’s specifications;  De-sludge the OWMS at least once every three to five years dependent on system use and type;  Ensure the system does not pose a risk to human health or the environment;  Notify council of any issues with the system and the steps taken to fix the problem (a form is available at https://bit. ly/3AGg4jA);  Provide written information to renters about the correct operation and maintenance of the system;  Keep all records of maintenance activities carried out on the system, including any pump out and service records, for five years after each activity; and  - Produce the records for inspection on request.

WELLINGTON Shire Council and Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) have announced the naming of a new environmental and cultural centre - Nakunbalook.

The Nakunbalook Environmental and Cultural Education Centre is a joint project between Wellington Shire Council and GLaWAC, providing a facility to host events and learning programs focussed on sustainability and culture, located on the banks of Lakes Guthridge and Guyatt.

GLaWAC General Manager of Culture Grattan Mullett said it was important to provide a place of cultural awareness for the community.

“Nakunbalook” is a Gunaikurnai name meaning Grandfather Gumtree, which represents “knowledge and place” as the site contains many families of red gums and has high cultural and biodiversity values,” he said.

“GLaWAC is excited to be involved in the joint partnership with Wellington Shire Council to provide a place of learning and understanding of how our people used and interacted in our natural environment and waterways.”

The new $650,000 centre, due to open next month, showcases many environmentally sustainable design elements and low impact materials, such as rammed earth walls, solar power, double glazed windows and energy efficient lighting.

Wellington Shire Council Mayor Ian Bye said council’s partnership with GLaWAC was an exciting part of the overall project.

“As Nakunbalook’s construction nears completion, I’m excited for people living and travelling in the Middle of Everywhere to visit to learn, connect and protect our local environment and culture,” Cr Bye said.

“I’m also looking forward to having GLaWAC as an ongoing partner in the centre’s operation.

Developing a strong relationship and partnership with the Gunaikurnai is vital to achieving our common environmental, cultural, social, and economic objectives. We never stop learning or improving our awareness.”

The building will host events and learning programs with a focus on sustainability and culture, such as Wellington Shire Council’s Sustainable Living Education Program, community group meetings, workshops, citizen science pop-up labs and Aboriginal cultural experiences.

Bug Blitz, TAFE Gippsland, Federation University and Parks Victoria will run regular

Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye and GLaWAC chief executive Daniel Miller at the centre, still under construction.

Community Groups such as SEED Community Garden and Friends of the Sale Botanic Gardens will also use the facility regularly.

In the future, Nakunbalook will also host events such as NAIDOC Week celebrations, Parks Week activities and art classes from Gippsland Art Gallery staff.

Nakunbalook, backed by Wellington Shire Council, GLaWAC and the John Leslie Foundation, supports two of the priority areas identified in Wellington Shire’s Council Plan 2021-25 - action on climate change and partnering with Gunaikurnai - as well as two goals in the Gunaikurnai Whole of Country Plan - ‘To heal our Country’ and ‘To

Have a Strong Focus on Learning’.

Construction began in November, and while council is facilitating the design, funding and construction, the centre will be managed by a community-based advisory committee appointed by council.

Council is hoping to celebrate Nakunbalook’s opening later this year in style, with plenty of activities and events planned across a whole opening week.

For more information about Nakunbalook, its opening or the Sustainable Living Education Program, phone Council’s Sustainability Education Officer Sharon Ray on 1300 366 244 or email sharonr@wellington.vic.gov.au

Photo: Contributed

SALE Army Cadet, Corporal Siannah O’Sullivan, achieved Dux of course and received the student of merit award at a recent junior leaders course at Puckapunyal army base.

The course was held over the school holidays, and aims to improve leadership skills for cadets seeking promotion.

Corporal O’Sullivan stood out among more than 120 of her peers from across the state, receiving the top award at the march out parade.

She said she was humbled by the award, and was positive about her experience with army cadets.

“My experience as a cadet so far has been an amazing learning journey, it has opened up so many new opportunities in my life,” she said.

“Cadets have taught me so many new skills and has exposed me to many different things such as riding in tanks and using light machine guns up at Puckapunyal.

“Cadets has not only taught me basic field craft and survival, but it has also taught me how to be a confident leader in many different circumstances.

“You make new friends, you learn to be a team player, you gain confidence and leadership skills.

“Other activities include many field and camp experiences throughout the year, you do so many different things everyday civilians don’t get the chance to experience.

“At cadets there is something for everyone, if you are considering joining you won’t be disappointed.”

Corporal O’Sullivan, who has just turned 15, is keen to pursue a career in the Australian Army.

“When I enlist my ambition is to go into a combat role such as artillery operator or armoured vehicle crew, or a role specialising in search and rescue humanitarian/disaster support.” she said.

Siannah has been an Army Cadet since February 2021.

Army Cadets is open to students aged between 13 and 18.

308 Army Cadet Unit parades at the RAAF Base, East Sale on Tuesday nights between 7pm and 9.30pm.

Uniforms are provided and there is no cost to join.

Men’s Sheds’ messages of hope Zoe Askew AUSTRALIAN Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is leading the way for men’s mental health, teaming up with the Black Dog Institute and introducing the ‘Shed Mates’ initiative to Men’s Sheds throughout Victoria and across the country.

For those unaware, a Men’s Shed is a communitybased, non-profit, non-commercial organisation accessible to all men, and offers a safe, friendly and supportive environment where members can work on meaningful projects at their own pace in their own time in the company of others.

On the morning of July 14, members from Men’s Shed from across Gippsland came together at Ken’s Shed in Heyfield for the Australian Men’s Shed Association’ Shed Mates Muster’.

The smell of bacon sizzling on the barbecue paved the way to Heyfield Men’s Shed, tucked neatly behind the Heyfield Community Resource Centre.

Darren Scicluna, Victorian Men’s Shed Association’s regional coordinator, stood at the gates with a welcoming smile.

As visitors from all over moseyed on in, Mr Scicluna handed out blue fabric bags filled with pamphlets and goodies - even a free coffee card, a bonus for journalists who were yet to be caffeinated.

Heyfield Community Resource Centre Manager, Caroline Trevorrow, stood beside Mr Scicluna, handing out welcome packs, often darting off to assist with other matters of importance to keep the muster running smoothly.

Australian Men’s Shed Association’s event and volunteer coordinator Marty Leist was doing the rounds, connecting with those in attendance from the Victorian Men’s Shed community.

The first known Men’s Shed was established in South Australia 100 years ago, Mr Liest tells.

“Every week, a woman in South Australia would attend her local ladies group and one day noticed that her husband and all the other ladies’ husbands would sit in their cars, reading the newspaper while they waited.”

“Behind the community centre where the ladies group met, there was a shed full of stuff and one day, the woman asked her husband and all the other husbands if they could do some odd jobs in there, so off they went, and that is how the concept of the Men’s Shed started.”

Despite a long history of Men’s Sheds across the

Mr Leist has been the event and volunteer coordinator for the Australian Men’s Shed Association for over 10 years, and said he was excited to be in Gippsland for the promotion of the Shed Mates initiative.

“Shed Mates is about supporting the physical, mental and social health and wellbeing of Men’s Shed members,” he said.

“It offers training to help men identify when one of their members might not be okay and gives them the tools to reach out and help.

“Health, support and connection, that is what Shed Mates is all about.”

The Shed Mates Muster at Ken’s Shed in Heyfield was jammed-packed with activities, exhibits, entertainment, prizes and presentations.

Peter Vranek, Doug Davidson and Cliff Price from Stratford Men’s Shed at the Men’s Shed Muster, in Heyfield.

Councillor Carmel Ripper started the event.

“I am so pleased to be here today,” Cr Ripper said.

“Men’s Sheds are so, so important.”

Next to take the stage, well microphone, was guest speaker Chris Callinan from Black Dog Institute.

Mr Callinan, a retired teacher of 42 years, has been a volunteer with the Black Dog Institute for seven months, travelling across Victoria addressing challenges and opportunities in mental health.

“I was the Head of Wellbeing at the last school I worked at, working closely alongside the two psychologists employed there too,” he said..

health challenges is so important, and I am so passionate about it.”

Mr Callinan has struggled with depression in the past, so for him, going to groups like the Men’s Shed in Heyfield to share his own experiences and offer support is very special.

“I absolutely love working with Black Dog Institute and sharing my lived experience,” he said.

“Just the other month, my 17-year-old daughter and my wife said to me that since I started, they have noticed I have got a spring in my step.”

Mr Callinan said seeing such an amazing supportive community at the Heyfield Men’s Shed was wonderful. He hoped he built understanding and improved the quality, relevance and knowledge translation around mental health.

Parked outside Ken’s Shed was ‘Bettie’, a vintage car brought by Paddy Boyce and Graham Thomas from Heyfield Vintage Machinery Group.

Inside, David Young and Seamus Foley from Stratford Spoon Whittling Cult were hard at work, showcasing their unique talents as was the Gippsland and Toongabbie Woodcraft Group.

Maurice Gunnulson from Toongabbie even tried to convert a Gippsland Times writer into a woodworker before realising there was a reason they chose a profession with words, not wood. .

Mr Scicluna said the Men’s Shed Muster encompassed everything Men’s Shed was about.

“This right here is the epitome of Men’s Shed,” he said.

“People from all walks of life coming together.”

Book launch at Rosedale library Zoe Askew EAST Gippsland award-winning journalist Kylie Miller visited Rosedale Library on Friday, July 8 to launch her new children’s book, Albert, The Greyhound Who Loves to Run. Ms Miller has been a storyteller since she was just a child, carrying her passion and skill into adulthood, working as a journalist and editor at

Australia’s leading media outlets and overseas for more than 20 years.

Shortly after saying sayonara to the big smoke of the city skyline, and hello to the serenity of East Gippsland’s natural rolling landscape, Ms Miller and her husband Brett Miller were, like so many others, devastatingly impacted by the 2019/20 bushfires.

Employing her creative written talents, Ms Miller took-in the

destruction around her, and set forth on a new professional journey, co-writing her first children’s picture book, Heroes of Black Summer.

Albert, The Greyhound Who Loves to Run is the newest addition to Kylie Miller’s publications, based on the heart-warming true story of Albert, the adopted greyhound.

In 2018, after losing two of their family pets in a short time, with hearts full of love to give, Kylie and Brett began their search for the newest addition to their family.

Alas, after weeks of searching, there he was, Albert.

Kylie and Brett travelled 10 hours from their home in Newlands Arm to Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, where Albert was housed at Country Kats and K9s Rescue.

Thus begins Albert and Kylie’s story.

After returning to Gippsland, it wasn’t long before Albert escaped the safe and loving confinements of the Millers’ yard, jumping the back fence standing a metre-and-a-half tall.

Ms Miller’s latest book retells the lengths to which the Millers and the community of Newlands Arm went to finding Albert, and getting him somewhere he would be safe.

“I was cooking sausages and mince on the barbecue every night for nine weeks to get him to come home,” Ms Miller said.

The story of Albert was not confined to the border lines of Newlands Arm. After Kylie posted about Albert on social media, word travelled like wildfire, appearing on screens across Australia and overseas.

“I had the Greyhound Association from overseas,” Ms Miller exclaimed, still obviously astonished by just how many lives their cheeky little Albert had touched.

Finally, after nine long and stressful weeks, Albert came home. A bittersweet moment for the Miller family,

“I am glad to report that Albert is happy and healthy.”

At the Rosedale Library, little (and big) ears listened intently as Ms Miller read the story of Albert and his nine-week-long adventure in Gippsland’s East.

After the story, small guests were given bookmarks and coloured in pictures of Albert the Greyhound as mum and dads took the chance to speak with one of Australia’s finest journalists.

Packing her belongings, Ms Miller headed for Yarram Library, thus ending the excitement for the day at the Rosedale Library.

Albert, The Greyhound Who Loves to Run is available for purchase at Collins Booksellers in Sale.

All proceeds from the book are donated to Rhonda’s animal shelter, Country Kats and K9s Rescue.

IT sure has been an exciting time to transition into my new role as Longford Plants Manager.

The critical role we provide in reliably supplying gas to Australians day-in, day-out, has certainly been highlighted as we work to overcome the energy challenges our country has been experiencing.

It is impressive to see first-hand the Longford team’s professionalism and enthusiasm as they stepped up to the challenge, creating innovative solutions which resulted in our ability to increase production from 970 terajoules a day, to up to 1040 terajoules per day during this time of need.

The extra 70 terajoules a day of Gippsland gas we are now producing out of Longford is equivalent to nearly three times the amount of gas used in Tasmania each day.

A special thanks to my team for all that you do to make this happen safely, each and every day.

Since making the move to Sale, I have really enjoyed getting to know my way around the neighbourhood and surrounding areas. I have particularly enjoyed meeting with those in the community.

As a child, I grew up within a regional community and I appreciate everything it has to offer.

I look forward to my wife and two children joining me in the next few weeks, in time for the start of the next school term.

Last month, our Gippsland team was grateful for the opportunity to partner with Foodbank Victoria and the Sale

Salvation Army to distribute over 3000 kilograms of fresh fruit and pantry staples to over 150 local families.

It was a privilege to personally be part of providing some reprieve for those in need, and to play a small part in supporting food security for the community.

I also valued the chance to meet many community stakeholders at the end of May at the annual Longford community dinner. It was great to chat through our ongoing community contributions, coveted apprenticeship program, and recent announcements, including the South East Australia Carbon Capture and Storage Hub. This project ensures we as a company are part of leading the energy transition in Australia, while also creating further job opportunities right here in Gippsland.

We also provided an update on our decommissioning program. As we continue to plan for decommissioning our non-producing facilities, we are working with relevant stakeholders to find solutions that balance environmental impacts and benefits with the needs of the community and regulatory requirements.

This ongoing communication is essential for ensuring our approach to decommissioning and the work we are undertaking is aligned with the community’s needs and expectations.

‘Minari’ is one of five films showing as part of the Stratford Court Film Society’s new program.

Photo: Madman Films/A24

STRATFORD’S Court Film Society has announced their slate of screenings for the latter half of 2022, and a new venue.

From this month, the society will be moving from their traditional base at the Courthouse Theatre to the Bundalaguah-Myrtlebank Hall on Sale-Maffra Road.

The Bundy Hall’s “extraordinary” sound system installed as part of a recent refurbishment - is being cited as a key reason for the change in location.

As part of their ‘Films at the Bundy’ program, the society will be showcasing five lesser-seen movies over the coming months.

Dating Amber will be first to screen on July 27.

This Irish coming-of-age comedy centres on two queer teenagers, Eddie (Fionn O’Shea) and Amber (Lola Petticrew), who date each other in an effort to convince their rural township that they are straight.

Next is Only the Animals, appearing August 24.

A darkly-comic, non-linear tale from France, it follows a group of shady individuals who are all connected to the mysterious disappearance of a woman.

Following that will be Minari on September 28.

The semi-biographical drama focuses on a family of Korean migrants who start their own farm in Arkansas, and the trials they face along the way.

The penultimate feature on the schedule is Little Joe, showing October 26.

This “cerebral nerve-frayer” tells of a plant breeder (Emily Beecham) who creates an antidepressant flower, and the personal fallout that transpires.

The final picture to screen at the Bundy Hall in 2022 will be Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain on November 23.

A documentary, it serves as a tribute to the titular, internationally-renowned chef who tragically died in 2018.

Society committee member Sarah Wootton is keenly anticipating the new season of films, revealing the picks she is most eager for to the Gippsland Times.

“I’m most looking forward to Little Joe, because it sounds so wacky, but also because I think it will have interesting social messaging about mental health and our use of pharmaceuticals in the treatment,” Ms Wootton said.

“I’m also really looking forward to Roadrunner, because I watched a lot of No Reservations growing up, and I am intrigued to learn more about the life of someone who presented in such a stoic way, but obviously had darkness under the surface.”

Screenings for the Court Film Society begin at 7.30pm, with attendees encouraged to arrive at 7pm for pre-show drinks and nibbles.

Season passes are $50, gaining entry to all five screenings, plus free rentals of the society’s backcatalogue of DVDs. ‘Come and Try’ tickets for non-members are $15, which is deducted from the cost of membership if purchased.

Blanket Drive revs up LOCALS are being encouraged to support those in need by donating to a month-long Blanket Drive.

The initiative, spearheaded by Dimmeys Sale, is asking people to purchase a $10 or $20 blanket at their store, which is then given to attendees at the Monday Tucker program.

According to Dimmeys Sale manager Leanne Chester, the community has already donated over 50 blankets to Monday Tucker.

“We’ve received support from our local Bunnings, who are behind the initiative and have purchased $200 worth of blankets for the cause,” Ms Chester said.

“It’s wonderful to have the support of the community and work together to help those who need it most.”

Most of the donated blankets have already been graciously received by Monday Tucker facilitator Michael Page, who described the

support from Dimmeys as “fantastic.”

“I was so surprised when Leanne said how many blankets (people) had donated,” he told the Gippsland Times.

Mr Page added that the Gippsland Veterans Welfare Centre had also lent their support to the initiative, with one volunteer purchasing $50 worth of blankets.

Additionally, the Blanket Drive has garnered the backing of federal parliamentarian - and Ms Chester’s brother - Darren Chester.

“This is a great cause to get behind and helps Gippslanders keep warm during the cold winter months,” the Gippsland MP said.

“I encourage locals to purchase a blanket and help support this great cause and those less fortunate in our community.”

Dimmeys Sale will be running its Blanket Drive for another three weeks.

Scimm are on stage in Sale Stefan Bradley

HAVE you ever wrote, rehearsed and booked an entire dance tour, only for the show to never be performed?

Scimm Dance Company return to the stage with their brand new show, Paracosm, which will be performed at The Wedge in Sale this Sunday.

After Scimm’s previous show, Fractures was cancelled due to COVID, it was decided to start anew for their next performance.

Paracosm is a double bill featuring choreography by Company Directors Scott Pokorny and Tim Barnes, alongside new work, Altered Trajectory, by guest choreographer Sarah Boulter. The show also features lighting design

by Nick Glen and visual art by artist Jonty Knight, in addition to launching a brand new soundtrack composed by music artist Tiarn Courtice.

Paracosm presents the phenomenon where a detailed imaginary world is created within one’s mind.

These worlds possess their own geography, history, and language to escape from reality. This show explores the concepts of escapism and fantasy creation expressed through contemporary dance, sound, lighting and visual art.

At the intersection of dance and imagination, Paracosm serves you an artistic feast fit for the senses.

Company Directors, Scott Pokorny and Tim Barnes say, “remember those detailed imaginary worlds we created as children? They possess their own geography, history and language that we use to escape from reality.”

“Our aim has been to create a show that demonstrates how this phenomenon is created within one’s mind. We want to serve you an artistic feast fit for the senses,” they said.

Mr Barnes grew up in Sale and Rosedale before moving to Melbourne at age 15 to pursue dancing at the Australian Ballet

Scimm dance show.

School. Mr Pokorny grew up in Sydney and also moved to Melbourne at age 15 to take up dancing at the very same venue.

The last time Mr Pokorny and Mr Barnes spoke to the Gippsland Times in January, Australia was in the middle of the first Omicron wave and the pair were unsure if Fragments would go ahead in Sale.

In the end, Mr Pokorny and Mr Barnes cancelled all their Fragments shows, but kept their Regional Workshop at the Leads And Bounds Dance School in Sale. “(The workshop) was very

successful and a great way to still be active in the community, even though our show was cancelled,” Mr Pokorny said.

Mr Barnes said it was incredibly saddening to not be able to to perform Fragments.

“The show will now sit on the shelf, however there were some moments that made it into Paracosm,” he said.

They also expanded on some choreography in Fragments to use for Paracosm.

Mr Pokorny said it felt very strange to sit on a show that has never been performed.

“The emotional connection to that show is still very strong and there was so much great content in that show,” he said.

“There are a few reasons that we decided to produce something new for this upcoming tour. We have a completely different cast that is larger and more diverse.

We wanted to make sure that each dancer would be suited to the choreography and vision we have.”

Mr Barnes said that after the pandemic, they wanted to push themselves to create something completely different and elevated from their previous works.

“It is never as rewarding to try and recreate a show from a previous time unless the ingredients are right,” Mr Barnes said.

Mr Pokorny said that Paracosm was an “experience”, not just a

dance show.

“The combination of dance, music, lighting and art is all on display here. All of these elements are blended together to create a hypnotic and diverse sensory experience that will take the audience to another world,” he said.

After more than two years of delays and cancellations, Mr Barnes said it was an incredible relief for them and their dancers to have a show they know will go ahead.

“This year we have 16 dancers with the company. We had most of the remaining cast return from last year, with the addition of nine new dancers that we scouted at our auditions earlier in the year,” he said.

Mr Pokorny said the dancers were really hungry to get back to the stage and perform.

“There is a mix of excited smiles and nervous jitters. Some of these performers haven’t been on stage in over three years,” Mr Pokorny said.

“The Wedge is a great venue.

It has a warm and friendly atmosphere and is a great size for our company. They are really easy to deal with as well.”

Paracosm is being performed at The Wedge on Sunday, July 24th starting at 7.00pm.

Rural news

www.gippslandtimes.com.au

Displaying on-farm leadership Denison dairy farmer Ross Anderson learnt the empowering value of stepping out of his comfort zone in the Australian Rural Leadership Program.

Photos: Contributed

GP1644808

UNTIL recently, fourth-generation dairy farmer Ross Anderson seized opportunities as they arose, rather than seeking them.

As a young adult, he grasped the chance to move from the temperate climate of Denison in Gippsland, southern Victoria, to work as a qualified builder - and play footy - on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

The adventure rolled into 10 years away from the Macalister Irrigation District, with Mr Anderson plying his building trade in London and Perth until 2006.

“I came home when I was 30 to farm with my folks because I was mature enough to give it a go,” he said.

Now aged 45, Mr Anderson farms 300ha and milks 500 cows with his parents Graeme and Chris, and partner Jenni. Their rotary dairy has a workforce of seven, with the Anderson’s in the transition phase of farm succession.

“I love the dairy industry; it’s challenging and rewarding. I love being on the land with animals and producing food,” Mr Anderson said.

Since his homecoming in 2006, Mr Anderson “didn’t shy away” when industry peers nudged him to apply for leadership roles and development opportunities.

He served five years on the GippsDairy board, and six years (three as chair) on Herd Improvement Co-operative Australia (HICO); and is an alumnus of the 2020-21 Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP), sponsored by Gardiner Dairy Foundation.

The 15-month ARLP is a flagship leadership development course, which includes four challenged-based sessions throughout Australia and overseas.

The onset of the COVID-pandemic disrupted parts of the program for Mr Anderson’s cohort, with Victorian lockdowns causing some participants

to miss the immersive experience in the remote Kimberley region.

Mr Anderson instead made the most of the alternative online coursework and one-on-one coaching offered to those unable to join the Kimberley session.

Despite the challenges created by COVID, he was grateful for the overall ARLP experience, and the valuable addition of ongoing personal mentoring.

“Even though some of our course sessions were via Zoom because of COVID, the ARLP taught me the power of experiential learning; it kept pushing me out of my comfort zone,” he said.

“The program encourages the people on the course to develop each other. I formed some nice bonds at the Canberra session where I also became a member of the course council.”

Mr Anderson gained invaluable insight into contemporary leadership, and is more aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

“I think my strengths are I’m authentic and prepared to be vulnerable; I’m not one to shy away from tough situations, and I’m prepared to wear my heart on my sleeve,” he said.

Navigating personal challenges during the timeframe of the course was compounded by COVID restrictions, and the two-hour travel distance to see his children (who live with their mother).

“One of my biggest takeaways during the oneon-one coaching sessions during the ARLP was understanding that I need to put my own oxygen mask on before I can help anyone else with theirs,” he said.

“I had been spreading myself too thin and not hitting the mark anywhere, so I stepped aside from GippsDairy and HICO to focus on my wellbeing and my relationship with my children.

“I now have a plan and a commitment to myself and my family to look after myself so that I can help look after them.”

Mr Anderson said role-modelling, and the importance of wellbeing were some of the numerous lessons from ARLP that had transformed his style of leadership.

“This program has given me the strength to take action and determine my own outcomes, wellbeing is now an absolute priority in my life,” he said.

“It’s important that leaders ‘do’ as well as ‘lead’; you don’t just lead with words, you lead by example - your actions as well.”

On the farm, and with his family, Mr Anderson has developed his leadership style to empower others through effective communication and positive role-modelling.

“Leadership is really a lot like dairy farming; you have responsibilities and you need to adapt and understand different situations and circumstances,” he said.

“You can’t farm - or be a leader - on your own; you need to have good people around you who can also adapt to different situations.

“I empower others by listening, making sure they understand what’s being communicated, and giving them responsibility.

“I teach the people around me that their voices are important and valued.”

Mr Anderson encouraged everyone in the dairy industry to lead by example and step out of their comfort zone.

“Leadership is not about a title; it’s about being collaborative and transparent, and individuals working as a team,” he said.

“There are so many opportunities for people to play their role as leaders within the agricultural community and working together to spread that investment.”

East Asian countries currently experiencing an outbreak of FMD to exercise extreme caution and adhere to all biosecurity measures.

“Our community in Gippsland South is very much a farming community and the risk of FMD must be taken extremely seriously.”

Mr O’Brien said Peter Walsh, Leader of the Nationals and Shadow Minister for Agriculture, had already written to Federal Agriculture Minister Murray Watt seeking a guarantee that the Commonwealth will take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of Australian farmers and livestock against FMD as a matter of priority.

“This needs to be the number one priority for our state and federal agriculture ministers right now,” Mr O’Brien said.

“FMD is globally accepted as the most feared livestock disease in the world and the response to this threat needs to be reflective of that.”

Australia has been FMD free for 150 years, with the last outbreak recorded in 1872.

MEMBER for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien, is urging overseas travellers, particularly those travelling to Bali, to take extra caution to adhere to biosecurity measures in the midst of a worrying Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak.

Mr O’Brien said an FMD outbreak in Australia would have the potential to decimate the industry, which would cause significant flow-on social and economic impacts for all Australians.

“The CSIRO predicts even a ‘small, contained’ outbreak in Victoria would see the state economy take a $5-6 billion hit,” Mr O’Brien said.

“I can’t fathom how much damage an outbreak would cause in Gippsland, so we must do everything in our power to keep this disease out of the country.

“Increased biosecurity measures are crucial to ensure that this highly infectious disease with the potential to cripple the Australian economy is not brought to our shores.

“I urge anyone travelling to Bali or other South

THE Sale and District Agricultural Society has confirmed that their marquee event will be returning after a three-year hiatus.

The Sale Show will take place over three days from October 28, with new attractions being promised by the organisers.

2022’s event will also feature a monster truck exhibition, as well as the traditional and highlypopular Friday evening fireworks display.

Pavilion exhibits will include the Great National Carrot Cake competition, and the usual superb floral displays, this year augmented by a floral art creative demonstration.

Additionally, the Society expects eager and increased interest in equestrian classes, due to the absence of local agricultural shows.

One major change from previous events is the introduction of an online registration system, known as Showday Online.

According to Society president Ross Jones, the system is one that prospective entrants have likely used before.

“Most of the shows are using the same system, so it’s going to be one that’s been recognised by most people,” Mr Jones said.

“Instead of the old way of having to fill-out your form and bring it in, you’ll do it all online and you’ll be able to print off your tags and things like that.

“It will make life a bit easier for those (entrants) that are trying to get to the office on-time.”

Online entries will open in September, coinciding with the release of the full 2022 schedule.

Prospective entrants can learn more by phoning 5144 2603 or sending an e-mail to booking@ saleshow.com.au

Seaspray life-savers honoured SEASPRAY’S life-savers were recently honoured at the local Surf Life Saving Club’s annual presentation night.

The awards ceremony took place at the organisation’s Club House on July 2.

Club president Chris Fleming said the surf club, like other organisations and businesses, had to overcome rostering issues caused by the pandemic.

“It was a challenging season, particularly when people were suddenly forced into isolation,” Fleming said.

“But we pulled together and supported one another to ensure beachgoers were safe.

“As a club, we are proud of our patrolling members, volunteers and athletes and all that they have achieved over the past season.”

James Robbins was named Lifesaver of the Year on the evening, who also earned Patrol of the Year as captain of Orca Patrol, alongside Jess Jackson as vice-captain.

Max Castle was awarded the Most Reliable Patrol Person and the Bronze Certificate for performing more than 100 hours on patrol.

Club member and accredited surf life saving official John Clinch was honoured for dedicating 40 years of service to life saving, and club secretary Jeff Robbins was named Volunteer of the Year.

Jett McMahon was named Nipper of the Year, while Milly O’Brien, Hunter Lange and Evie Whitaker were joint winners of the Pauline Muller Nipper Encouragement Award.

The club also presented Certificates of Recognition to John Clinch, Ann Gibbs, Vicki Miller, Ella Ronchi, Zac Bloink, Max and Amanda Castle, John and James Robbins, Amy and Tom Fleming, Jess and Sue-Ellen Jackson for significant service over the season.

The club acknowledged the achievements of Courtney McDonough, who completed her Silver

The presentation night was also an opportunity to acknowledge the club’s competitors in beach and water sports and their achievements over the past season.

Leo Stephenson, Jett and Mack McMahon, Max McLay, Jimmy Greenwood, Lily and Matt Canfield, Kye Fleming represented Seaspray as Nippers or youth athletes. Max McLay became a state medalist after he won gold in the Under 12 Beach Relay and bronze in the Under 12 Board Relay at the Victorian Junior Lifesaving Championships.

Sale City and Rosedale played out a thrilling draw in Round 14 of North Gippsland football.

Dogs, Blues all tied up Scott Berechree

IN a round where only four games were played, the North Gippsland Football-Netball League sure did provide it all for spectators and participants alike: a draw, a nail-biter in a cracking local derby, and a couple of 30 goal or so drubbings all on the scoresheets.

And while all this was going on, the ladderleaders and premiership favourites, Yallourn Yallourn North were cooling their Jets, so to speak, only for Churchill to, temporarily at least, grab top spot.

Yarram solidified their spot on the ladder courtesy of their three-goal win over fierce rival Woodside, which looks to have the Demons locked into at least fourth spot come season’s end.

Courtesy of their draw with Rosedale, Sale City leap-frogged the Wildcats into the top five, and now control their own destiny in terms of a finals berth.

THE drawn clash between the Bulldogs and Rosedale is the first of the year, and takes percentage out-of-play in the battle for the last spot in the top five. While prior to the weekend as many as four teams might have laid claims to fifth spot, after Saturday’s round it is now surely a race between Sale City and Woodside.

Sale City was again well-served by the league’s favourite medico Sam Davidson, who will likely have racked up another three votes in the league medal. He and Mitch Evans, who slotted five majors for the Bulldogs, led a second-half comeback that saw their side claw into the five.

With Rosedale leading by near-on 30 points at times in the second term and still holding onto a 21-point final change lead, it was going to take some last quarter heroics for the tri-colours to get the job done. And that’s precisely what they gave.

With Davidson in everything in the middle of the ground and senior statesman Ben Chivers patrolling the half-back line, Sale City strangled the Blues while piling on five goals, five behinds to level scores and grab a crucial two points when the final siren declared the game a draw Rosedale 12.5 (77) to Sale City 11.11 (77).

Rosedale was best served by Sam Tudor and the Rohans, Hildebrand and Diamond, with Declan Barnett heading the goal-kicker list with three.

Frazar Brouns and Brad Scott managed two each, but ultimately this is one that got away from the home side. Based on the respective fixtures of Woodside and Sale City, who each play the bottom three teams on the ladder in the run home, it is impossible to see the Blues making up the necessary margin to compete in the post season.

IN what was by all accounts a hard fought, highly entertaining south Gippsland derby, Yarram, for the second time this year, had local bragging rights over their nearest and fiercest foe, Woodside.

With just three points favouring the home side at the main break, it was game-on with the ramifications of a poor second-half huge for both sides.

A loss would have left Yarram vulnerable for a finals berth after spending a large portion of the year in the top three. A loss for Woodside however would see them potentially out of the five and relying on results to fall their way to qualify for finals action.

With so much to play for, it is hardly surprising those at the venue described the second-half as fantastic, hard-fought football.

There was pivotal one-on-one match-ups across the ground. These ranged from the talls, like the battle between Yarram’s Dan Vardy and Woodside’s Ryan Foat in the ruck, to the smalls with Wildcat Jeremy Morgan going head-to-head with Demon Corbin Sutherland.

Ultimately, it was the third quarter that saw the home side get the win. With Sutherland kicking two of his five in the premiership quarter, Yarram took all the momentum and a 19-point lead into the last break.

Woodside was encumbered by the early game loss of Josh Morgan, which was compounded when Darcy McAlpine and Jai Williams joined him on the casualty list, leaving the Wildcats only one rotation for the last stanza.

A huge last quarter saw the Wildcats come hard at Yarram. They booted five goals to get back within striking distance, but Yarram was able to steady and slot four of their own to hold-on for a crucial 13-point win, 15.10 (100) to 13.9 (87).

Wildcat coach Michael Duncan, playing his first game in five weeks, reflected after the game that his side had toiled manfully to get back into the contest in the last term, but paid full respect to Yarram who he said simply played better footy for longer.

Duncan was effusive in his praise for Ben Johnson, Mrs King’s boy Tom, and Luke LeBlanc on his own side, and noted the excellent performances of Boadie Motton and Tyler Chisolm from Yarram.

Yarram’s Corbin Sutherland also heaped praise on Motton post-game, while pointing out Yarram too were down a key part of their on-ball brigade with Jayden Shea unable to take the field in the second-half.

Sutherland himself was a stand-out with five majors, taking his season tally to 28 goals from his dozen games. When he is kicking bags of goals from a flank or a wing the Demons look an ominous side. And their record since entering the NGFNL says they know how to get the job done come finals time.

ANOTHER side with a happy knack of playing in and winning finals is Churchill.

The Cougars took Cowwarr apart on Saturday, register a huge 167-point victory, 32.14 (206) to 6.3 (39).

With 14 players kicking goals, including six multiple goal scorers, it was all one-way

traffic for Churchill.

Ben Kearns again led the way with 10 goals, taking his season tally to 67 goals from just nine games.

In other good news for the Cougars, Joey Whykes returned to the field for the first time in months, and helped himself to a major in a hit-out that will do his preparation for finals a world of good.

Also returning to the Cougar line-up was Alan Chandler. While he might not be kicking the ball 50-plus meters these days, he still rarely misses a target and brings with him a wealth of experience.

For Cowwarr, the ever reliable Robbie Ferguson managed two goals, with Matt Bourke and Kyle Stammers named their best.

After grabbing their only win for the year a few weeks back, the task now appears to be for the Saints to keep their percentage higher than Gormandale’s to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon. Presently, just four per cent stands between the two battling sides.

GORMANDALE’S percentage was done no favours as they were beaten by a whopping 221 points by a ruthless Traralgon Tyers United.

The Bombers slammed on 10, 10, eight and seven goals across the four quarters, while holding their opponents to a solitary major which was kicked by Dylan Piening in the third term.

Kodie Owen and Trent Badlwin cracked in all day for the Tigers, but it was simply a case of one-way traffic as TTU reminded anyone who’d forgotten they are genuine contenders for the flag at season’s end.

On any regular Saturday, Beau White with six goals and Tom Fleming with five would have been in the headlines, but it was Brad Kelleher who banged home 13, stealing the show in a best-on-ground performance. The 13 majors brought his season total to 45 from just eight games.

Bombers star onballer Michael Jacobsen was the catalyst for the front-half carnage, racking up bulk possessions all over the ground, and his delivery to any and all of the TTU forwards was nothing short of elite.

Jacobsen is the perfect foil in the middle for his coach Jamie Aitken, as he can be part of a battery of big-bodied mids when the likes of Jye Neilson, Jayden Cutts and Mitch Mustoe go through the middle, or he can be part of a smaller, faster set up with Liam and Hayden Willaton keeping him company at the centre bounces.

Either way, he will be a player to watch as the home-and-away season draws to a close in the coming month and finals action hots up.

YALLOURN Yallourn North, Glengarry and Heyfield all had byes at the weekend.

Surging win for Sale Liam Durkin

SALE got what it needed in Round 14 of the Gippsland League.

The Magpies were far too strong for Drouin, and won 18.17 (125) to 5.9 (39).

The Hawks competed admirably in the first half, before the visitors broke away, kicking eight goals to one after the main break.

Knowing a game against the bottom side would offer a good chance to increase the all-important percentage, the Magpies did just that.

In a good sign, Sale shared the goals, with four players all kicking three. Jarrod Freeman, Kane Martin, Tom Campbell and Pat Tainsh were the quartet to do so, standing up in the absence of key forward Brad Dessent.

Tainsh was best-on-ground, followed by Jack Leslie, Ryan Pendlebury, Mitch Bown, Martin and Will Leslie.

Ryan Maric, Jordan Kingi, Tom Johnstone, Kye Quirk, Josh Chiv and Tom Barr were best for Drouin.

Maric had a great day, kicking three goals in the thirds, and then doubling-up to kick four in the seniors.

With four weeks to go before finals, it is looking like Sale and Traralgon will be fighting it out for the double chance. The Round 17 clash between the two teams will more than likely determine this fate.

MAFFRA’S road to qualification is now just a little bit harder.

The Eagles let a half-time lead slip against Wonthaggi, going down 17.17 (119) to 10.7 (67).

Only 13 points separated the teams at the last change, but the Power took advantage in the final term, kicking six goals to one.

Maffra had no rotations in the last quarter, and the final margin may have been reflective of this.

Scores were level at quarter time, and this set the tone for an even contest across the next two quarters at Maffra Recreation Reserve.

Tom Jolly was best-on-ground for the Eagles with four goals, along with David Adams, James Huts and Bill Pleming, who played well after taking a week off to refresh.

Power forward Troy Harley was arguably the difference, and kicked seven goals in a best-on-ground display.

Others to play well for Wonthaggi were Ryan Sparkes, Harry Dawson, Travis Krause, Noah Anderson and Flynn Anderson.

MORWELL has emerged as a genuine dark horse.

Although the Tigers lost their match to ladder-leading Leongatha, they won plenty of admirers in a final scoreboard that read 11.10 (76) to 11.5 (71).

Making the trip over the hill, Morwell stayed with the Parrots right throughout the match, with the biggest margin at any of the breaks being only 13 points.

Virtually nothing separated the sides in the second half, but it was Leongatha who was able to hold on and keep its unbeaten streak alive.

Cameron Stone was best for the victors, and received good support from Kim Drew, Travis Nash, Sean Westaway, Aaron Hillberg and Wil Dawson.

Brandon McDonald was again busy in front of goal for the Tigers, and nailed four. Beston-ground honours went to Tristen Waack, Tyler Brown, Ryan Hearn, Aidan Quigley, Tyler Hillier and Riley Oddy.

Despite the loss, Morwell is still a game clear in the top five, and right now, are a team no-one would want to play against.

The Tigers have a good chance to solidify their hold on a finals berth in a few days’ time, as they take on Maffra sitting one rung below them on the ladder.

Morwell has certainly turned things around since the midseason break, going on to win four of five games.

Coach Denis Knight could be headed for further accolades when a Coach of the Year is announced, and when he does depart at the end of this season, he will do so with the Tigers appearing to be in a very healthy position.

Regardless of what happens in the weeks to follow, natural development in the next two years (provided they keep their current squad together) could have Morwell right in the premiership window.

For now, the question of why Morwell are playing so well has a simple answer: They don’t stop running.

MOE got back on the winners list.

The Lions accounted for Bairnsdale, getting the job done 18.11 (119) to 11.7 (73).

A six goal to two final term proved the most telling, as Moe finished strongly over the travelling Redlegs.

Up until then it had been a competitive game, with both sides sharing periods of dominance.

Riley Baldi was prolific for the Lions, and was a clear best-on-ground. The midfielder was one of three players to kick four goals,

along with Jess McGrath, and skipper Jacob Wood.

Ben Morrow and Harri Sim also played well, continuing their good form of late, while Lucas Fry was able to celebrate his 100th game with a win.

Bairnsdale found good service from coach Logan Austin and pocket rocket Brayden McCarrey. The pair finished with five goals each, and loomed as the most likely to take the game away from Moe for most of the day.

Much like David Mundy, McCarrey is perhaps not spoken about as much as he should be given he plays for a club located so far away. In his time at the Redlegs, he has kicked at least 30 goals every season as a small forward, without ever having the luxury of playing in an overly strong team.

Byron Vickery, Austin Hodge, Kieran Vickery and Nathan Dennison were others to put in solid efforts for Bairnsdale.

TRARALGON officially ended Warragul’s season.

The Maroons avenged their previous loss to the Guls, with an emphatic 17.19 (121) to 6.4 (40) victory.

Playing at home, Traralgon ensured Warragul was never given a look-in, and had 14 scoring shots to one at quarter time.

From there, it was a procession, as the Maroons kicked as many goals in the second term as the Guls managed across the first three.

Only untidiness in front of the big sticks prevented the margin bleeding out to over 100 points.

Brett Eddy kicked half-a-dozen for the second week in a row, while Maroons skipper Dylan Loprese kicked four, and Matt Northe did likewise.

The ease in which Traralgon won left most thinking Warragul either played out of their skin the previous time the teams met, or the Maroons just played horrendously bad.

With 10 losses now to their name, it is mathematically impossible for the Guls to play finals.

Star recruit Jed Lamb could however take home some silverware, following another strong display that saw him kick four goals.

Lamb leads the league goal-kicking by six from Eddy.

The former Carlton player was among the best for Warragul, along with Sean Masterson, Mitch Smart, Jasper Alger, Sam Whibley and Nick Mulqueen.

Best for Traralgon were Tom Schneider, Eddy, Luis D’Angelo, Mitch Membrey, Mark Collison and Adam Jaensch.

ON Saturday, July 9, Tori Dessent took to the court for her 100th A Grade netball game with Sale Football-Netball Club, becoming the first player in the club’s history to do so.

Originally a basketballer, Dessent started playing netball for the Magpies at the age of 16.

“As I grew up, a lot of my friends started playing netball, so I started playing netball because that’s what my friends were doing,” she said.

“In Year 11, I was just filling-in for games here and there, then in Year 12, I started playing more consistently.”

Showing true dedication to netball and Sale FNC, Dessent would drive home from Melbourne to play every weekend between 2017 until 2021.

Few people would show such consistent dedication, but Dessent’s love for the game and the Sale FNC community fuelled her energy.

“I really enjoy the game,” Dessent said.

“I also really like the whole club community with country footy/netball, so that has been a huge driving factor keeping me coming back to play.

“Plus, my family is down in Sale, so coming back to play has been a good connection for the family as well.”

Tori is not the only Dessent involved with Sale FNC. Brothers Jordan and Brad Dessent are two prominent Sale players, and her father, Justin Dessent, was the previous club president.

Of the 100 games, one was an A Grade grand final, which ended up being a premiership in 2013.

As well as playing, Dessent has also contributed to the Magpies through coaching, and her service saw her inducted as a life member of Sale FNC in 2019.

These days, she is returning home when she can, filling in on the odd occasion.

“The club is so accommodating,” Dessent said.

“They always welcome me back, which is really just amazing.”

Local rivals sqaure off

LOCAL rivals Maffra and Sale met in the East Gippsland Hockey Association Round 9 on Saturday, and it was a day of tight contests.

The closest match of the day was the women’s match, which finished 2-2.

Sale took the lead early, with a goal from Sarah Boag.

Maffra equalised before half-time via Jess Cull.

Kahlia Hillbrich gave Maffra the lead after the main break, and just as it looked like the winner, Olivia Slifirski scored the equaliser with a penalty corner taken after the final whistle.

The Open game was a typically fast contest, with Sale taking the lead early.

However, Maffra soon equalised via Hamish MacGregor. Sale proved to be too strong, as they pulled away in the second-half, finishing with a 5-1 victory.

Sale’s goalscorers were Mitch Patterson and Rhys Trudgen with two goals each. Andy Pate also added a goal.

In the Under 13 game, Maffra scored the winner in the final minute, with a goal from Connor Johnston, the match finishing 1-0.

The Under 15 game was also a tight match, with

Dan Neaves takes the ball into attack for Maffra in the Under 15s.

The Under 18 game was controlled from the start

by Maffra, who took the match 4-1.

Hamish MacGregor scored Maffra’s four goals.

Bailey Pembrey scored for Sale.

Globetrotters roll into region Liam Durkin

FAMILY fun of the highest order was on display in Gippsland last Thursday night, as the world famous Harlem Globetrotters rolled into the region.

The Globetrotters brought their Spread Game Tour to the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium, Traralgon, performing in front of a sell-out crowd.

Attendees were left bedazzled at the trick shots, slam dunks and sheer athleticism of the team, who combined court craft, showmanship and comedy into an action-packed schedule.

Exhibiting their skills against traditional foe Washington Generals, the Globetrotters danced, pranced and even sung their way through the four

quarters, providing no shortage of entertainment.

The razzmatazz did not detract from the sheer skill on display, with the Globetrotters, and even the Generals in fairness, all showcasing an incredible amount of accuracy to make sure each and every play was completed with military precision.

In order to break things up, the Globetrotters interacted with the crowd, even heading into the stands to pick out some lucky guests.

A young boy named Oscar had a moment he is unlikely to ever forget, shooting a free throw with the entire Globetrotters team there in close support.

The Sale Sonics Under 14 team made the trip to Traralgon for the game, snapping a photo with Dr Broke Ankle of the Globetrotters entourage.

The comedy aspect of the night saw the Globetrotters at one stage run an entire play in

slow motion, even gesturing to a spectator returning to his seat that he had to do the same.

A group selfie with both sides of the crowd continued the interaction, while the laughs kept coming from various jokes between Globetrotters’ showman ‘Hammer Harrison’ and the referee.

The Generals did their best to play the role of bad guy, trash-talking Victoria in relation to New South Wales.

With the Globetrotters down on the scoreboard with less than a minute left in the game, they miraculously found the points they were searching for.

While Krusty the Clown may have infamously bet against the Globetrotters and screamed ‘he’s spinning the ball on his finger!’, those in attendance at the GRSS were delighted to see the exact same

skill replicated, only better; as most Globetrotter players were capable of spinning two balls at once.

Undoubtedly the most popular Globetrotter was Hammer Harrison, and kids lined courtside to get a signature from their hero after the game.

Others on the Globetrotters team that made the journey to Traralgon were Bulldog Mack, Torch George and Spider Sharpless. In determining exactly how the Globetrotters work, the team is made up mostly of players who are exceptionally skilful basketballers, working alongside a handful of players capable of doing basic tricks but who are very good showman/actors.

Although it is staged, what is most telling perhaps is that even the Globetrotters make mistakes - but they never let them stop the show.

Upholding the Magpies’ name beyond Sale Liam Durkin

FORMER Sale footballer Scott Pendlebury played his 350th AFL match on Saturday.

Pendlebury brought up the milestone for Collingwood in the Magpies’ Round 18 game against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

The Magpies made it a milestone to remember, winning a nail-biting contest by five points.

Pendlebury was the third-leading possession winner on the ground, collecting 29 touches and kicking one goal in the 14.7 (91) to 13.8 (86) victory.

He also laid 12 tackles and had four clearances.

Proud parents Bruce and Liza and older brother Kristopher made the trip over, as did a contingent of close friends from the Sale region.

After the win, Pendlebury was chaired off the ground by Steele Sidebottom and Jeremy Howe, with Collingwood and Adelaide players forming a guard of honour for the Magpies’ games record holder.

Pendlebury is now one of just 20 men in AFL/ VFL history to reach the 350 mark.

The 34-year-old has been a model of consistency

ROLLS ROYCE

Scott Pendlebury

350 AFL GAMES - HOMETOWN: SALE · Collingwood games record holder · Most games as Collingwood captain · Collingwood premiership player · Five-time Copeland Trophy winner · Six-time All Australian · Norm Smith Medal 2010 · Current Collingwood captain · AFLPA Best Captain 2020

since debuting in 2006, and has finished top-three in the Copeland Trophy a remarkable 13 times.

Only Kevin Murray (Fitzroy) and Gary Dempsey (Footscray/North Melbourne) have fared better in club best-and-fairest stakes.

Adding to that, Pendlebury is also one of only four AFL players to register more than 9000 possessions throughout their career.

The others in that category are Brent Harvey (North Melbourne), Robert Harvey (St Kilda) and Kevin Bartlett (Richmond).

Pendlebury played in Collingwood’s 2010 premiership, where he collected the Norm Smith Medal for

best-on-ground, and has won the Copeland Trophy five times and made six All-Australian teams.

He has captained Collingwood since 2014, and is also a club record holder in terms of matches played as captain.

The milestones are set to continue, as he is currently on 199 games as Magpies’ captain.

Growing up in Sale, Pendlebury’s initial love was basketball, before deciding to head down the football path.

Due to representative commitments, he only ever played one senior game for Sale Football-Netball Club, which came in 2005.

He is arguably Collingwood’s greatest ever player, and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Already there is talk of Pendlebury getting to 400, and given he is still contracted for next year, such an achievement looks to be a real possibility.

If Pendlebury was to reach 400 games, he would enter even more rarefied air, as the 400 Club consists of only Brent Harvey, Michael Tuck (Hawthorn), Shaun Burgoyne (Port Adelaide/ Hawthorn), Kevin Bartlett and Dustin Fletcher (Essendon).

SORRY Stratford and Boisdale-Briagolong, but Orbost Snowy Rovers are getting the most coverage this week.

While it had been said the Blues were due for an upset in East Gippsland football, no one in their right mind could have foreseen what was to take place at the weekend.

Heading into their Round 14 match against thirdplaced Lindenow, the bottom of the table Blues entered with little more than the home ground advantage working in their favour.

What transpired was truly astonishing.

Not only did Orbost Snowy Rovers win, they did so by 73 points.

The final scoreboard read 23.13 (151) to 11.12 (78).

The result meant it was the first time the Blues had beaten Lindenow since Round 17, 2009.

A five-goal to three first quarter had Orbost Snowy Rovers entertaining thoughts of a famous upset. A six-goal to four second quarter had them well and truly believing.

The Blues led by 22 points at the main break, and then put the game beyond all reasonable doubt, adding seven goals in the third term.

Up by 45 points early in the last, the Blues kept going, and grinded the Cats further and further into the ground.

Lachlan Fenner and Hamish Nettleton kicked five goals each for the winners, while Max Welsh helped himself to four.

All in all, 10 players hit the scoreboard, in a legendary performance that will surely become folklore at the Bridge in years to come.

Wesley Russell, Nettleton, Gus Rogers, Fenner, Cody Robertson and Max Herbert were voted best on.

Matt Irish, Dylan Bolton (five goals), Rohan Blandford, Tom Van Den Eindon, Cooper Shaw and Stephen Henshaw were best for Lindenow.

STRATFORD benefited greatly from Lindenow’s loss.

The Swans were able to claim outright second spot on the ladder, after getting up over a determined Paynesville.

Playing away, Stratford was made to work for the points, but got them in the end, winning 9.14 (68) to 6.7 (43).

The Swans led at every change, although their biggest lead at any break was 24 points - a margin still within reach for Paynesville.

Scott Joustra was best for the Guls, while Jordan Farquhar, Ben McKinnon, Nick Pincott, Matt Silva and Caleb Holland played well.

Dylan Cartwright was again best for Stratford, and received good support from Gavin Bickery, Liam Cunningham, Jackson Cottrell, James Channing and Alex Morcom.

BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG’S season came crashing down.

The Bombers barely gave a yelp against Wy Yung, losing 21.14 (140) to 3.6 (24).

The Tigers made sure their loss to BoisdaleBriagolong from earlier in the season was nothing more than a blip on the radar. At half-time they led by 55 points, and at three quarter time by 93.

Those watching the Bombers would have found it hard to believe they had actually defeated Wy Yung this season, as they looked a mere shadow of the side that did so.

Jack Halabut, Alex Halabut, Dylan Somerville, Kaleb Hobson, Mitchell Toms and Jobe Somerville were best in the victory.

Sam Bedggood, Daniel Johnson, Brendon Rathnow, Matt Wilkinson, Zak Harrigan and Tom Brew got in the best for Boisdale-Briagolong.

LUCKNOW won a close match against Lakes Entrance.

The Magpies made the Seagulls pay for inaccuracy in front of goal in a 13.4 (82) to 10.10 (70) scoreline.

Lucknow held a six-point lead at three quarter time, and managed to hold on in an exciting finish.

Darren Allen kicked six goals for the Magpies, and had Jackson Smith, Dion Grace, Kyran McNaughton, Luke Belfrage, Joel Mcnamara and Jesse Glassborrow in the best for company.

Jordan Cullen, Tom Smith, Joel Campbell, Jarred McDonnell, Jarrod Matthews and Angus McKenzie were best for Lakes Entrance.

The loss could prove costly for the Seagulls, who are now two games out of the top four.
