Zoe Askew A TRAGIC road crash on Friday claimed the life of a father from Rosedale.

The 55-year-old man had stopped his car on the west bound side of the Princes Highway near Wrights Lane in Flynn to assist his son with a punctured tyre shortly after 8am.

An approaching car struck the father while he was on the Princes Highway roadside between Rosedale and Traralgon at approximately 8.20am.

He died at the scene.

"Whilst they've been attending to the puncture, the father has been hit by another car passing beside, and unfortunately, he's died," Senior Sergeant Luke Banwell told ABC News.

The driver of the car, a 23-yearold Rosedale man, stopped immediately.

Following his assistance, police released the man pending further investigations.

Later that night, the 23-year-old man was hospitalised, suffering from shock.

"This will have ripple effects through the community; it's the most tragic thing that can happen to a community, particularly when all the people are from that community," Snr Sgt Banwell added.

The incident in Flynn on Friday morning, June 17, was one of five fatalities on Victorian roads in 48 hours.

Victoria Police issued a critical road safety alert.

"We are entering a high-risk period on Victorian roads," Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir said.

"Now is not the time to be complacent when getting behind the wheel."

"Slowing down, remaining alert and being extra cautious when roads are wet or visibility is affected are simple but life-saving measures all motorists can take to protect themselves and other road users.

TENDER-NESS Tom Parry

THE Gippsland Basin Joint Venture is set to decommission more of its offshore facilities, it has been confirmed.

Esso Australia has commenced a technical tender process for the decommissioning of a number of its facilities in Bass Strait.

The announcement was made public

by Esso’s parent company, ExxonMobil Australia on Friday.

The company is requesting technical submissions from a number of experienced offshore heavy lift

contractors for this initial tender phase, who must outline how they propose to undertake the platform removal activities required.

“Given the complexity of decommissioning offshore facilities, we expect each vendor will propose a unique approach to platform removal in Bass Strait, based on their capabilities and experience,” ExxonMobil Australia chair Dylan Pugh said.

“We will then consider all the options presented, ensuring they meet our own, community and regulator expectations, before moving onto the final commercial tender process next year.”

Esso Australia has already completed around $600 million of early decommissioning works in Bass Strait, including the removal of the Seahorse and Tarwhine facilities; plug and abandonment activities on their Blackback and Whiting wells; and progressing well-decommissioning activities on its Kingfish B and Mackerel fields.

“As the operator of some of Australia’s most mature oil and gas fields, Esso Australia is committed to safely and responsibly decommissioning our Bass Strait offshore facilities,” Mr Pugh said.

important early decommissioning works, this technical tender is an important step in preparing for the eventual decommissioning of a number of our facilities that are to cease production in the near future.”

The decommissioning process will begin once contracts are awarded next year, while a completion date is yet to be confirmed.

When asked about a completion date by the Gippsland Times, a spokesperson for ExxonMobil said: “Decommissioning of offshore facilities is a complex activity that can start up to 10 years prior to execution.”

Get your flu shot, local GPs urge Zoe Askew AUSTRALIA’S worst May on record for influenza cases has local doctors pleading for all Victorians aged six months and over to utilise the free flu vaccine scheme before it ends on June 30.

The flu season is only just beginning, yet health experts are concerned following the highest number of influenza infections in May on record, with more than 80,000 cases reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS).

Despite the state government’s incentive to boost vaccination coverage to help avoid more hospitalisations throughout winter by offering free flu shots between June 1 and June 30, doctors and staff at the Clocktower Medical Centre are concerned by the lack of local uptake.

“To date, the uptake of patients accessing this scheme has been fairly poor; this is very concerning to the doctors of our practice,” the Clocktower Medical Centre doctors stated.

Since mid-April, the weekly number of confirmed influenza cases across the nation has exceeded the five-year average, and Gippsland is no exception to the upsurge in cases.

Dr Yi Yun Jiang, Dr Rakesh Nandha, Dr Gaurav Pathania, Dr Thomas Walsh and Dr William Truong from the Clocktower Medical Centre strongly encourage the public to be vaccinated with the free 2022 influenza vaccine as local cases skyrocket.

“Local influenza cases have exceeded the past years, and we are seeing many, very sick patients of all ages,” the Clocktower Tower Medical Centre doctors warned.

Similarly, Inglis Medical Centre is experiencing a high volume of sick patients presenting with flu-like symptoms, with minimal bookings to receive the flu vaccine.

“We are experiencing the same as the other clinics,” Inglis Medical Centre practice manager Brenda Beattie said.

“We could fit patients in today (June 15) for flu shots, so we are certainly not fully booked, and there is no wait.

“Our respiratory clinic is also fully booked every day with symptomatic patients,” Ms Beattie added.

Staff at Ramahyuck Gippsland Family Practice also share these concerns, stating that despite the government’s free flu shot incentive, only a small number of patients have scheduled flu shots this year and are also seeing an increase in patients with flu-like symptoms.

Dr Emma Beaton of Heyfield Medical Centre adds that this year’s respiratory infections, influenza and COVID, are at an all-time high compared to past years.

“It is very accurate to say that respiratory presentations are rife,” Dr Beaton said.

“The flu is absolutely far more prevalent in our community than in previous years.

“At the moment, we have one doctor every day, dedicating an entire morning for respiratory contacts, conducting phone consults for people who are really sick with respiratory illnesses. That is four hours each day dedicated to the flu or COVID.”

Photo: Zoe Askew With the flu and COVID running rampant throughout the community, Dr Beaton and the entire Heyfield Medical Centre are repetitiously urging people to get the flu shot, report their symptoms, and if sick, wear a mask and isolate.

The Department of Health reports that 98 per cent of all flu cases are Influenza A with the subtype H3N2, and according to the Immunisation Coalition, “Infections caused by A (H3N2) strains are more likely to lead to severe morbidity and increased mortality than influenza B or seasonal A strains.”

With the healthcare system still under strain from the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased severity of the current influenza strain rapidly spreading throughout the country, healthcare experts are pleading for the public to get their flu jab as soon as possible.

Doctors at the Clocktower Medical Centre strongly encourage patients of all ages to get vaccinated, reminding the community that flu vaccinations are free to all Victorians until June 30.

“The vaccination will not cost you anything; the visit will be bulk billed, and the vaccine provided to every Victorian free of charge,” the Clocktower Medical Centre doctors said.

“Importantly, patients need to understand that even if they have been infected with influenza, it does not build them immunity to all strains.

“Patients may be infected in the same season by a different strain of flu, especially if they are unvaccinated.

“Therefore, flu vaccinations are highly

recommended and valuable, even after infection.”

In the year to date, data from the Department of Health reports there has been 733 hospital admissions due to influenza across sentinel hospital sites, of which 6.1 per cent were admitted directly to ICU. In addition, the NNDSS has received reports of 27 influenza-associated deaths.

A spokesperson from the Department of Health said that “8.7 million Australians have had their influenza vaccination reported to the Australian Immunisation Register” in the year to date. That is a little over 30 per cent of the population.

Clocktower Medical Centre doctors warn the most vulnerable groups are pregnant women, children younger than five years (especially those under age two), adults 50 years and over and Indigenous Australians.

Additional high-risk groups include anyone with health conditions including diabetes, lung disease, asthma, heart disease, sickle cell anaemia, kidney or liver disease, metabolic disorders, weakened immune systems, and immunocompromised patients.

As influenza-like-illness activity across Australia has escalated since March 2022, people aged 5–19 years, adults aged 20–24 years, and children younger than five years have returned the highest influenza infection rate, according to the NNDSS. As a result, the Department of Health has classified anyone aged between 0 and 24 years as an at-risk population.

Health experts, including doctors at the

Clocktower Medical Centre, warn that the 2022 influenza vaccination is critical for patients who are considered high-risk.

“Those in close contact with people at risk of complications, like health care workers and people who care for infants too young to be vaccinated, also need the vaccine,” Clocktower Medical Centre doctors said.

Australia is managing COVID-19 and an influenza season for the first time.

The country’s acting chief medical officer Dr Sonya Bennett, reiterated the increasing importance for the public to protect themselves from COVID-19 and influenza.

“Over the past two years, influenza cases were very low in Australia because of limitations on international travel and a range of other measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing, but with restrictions now eased, influenza cases are rising,” Dr Bennett said.

“Whilst this rapid rise in cases appears to be occurring earlier than an average influenza season, the timing of the peak and size of the influenza season is difficult to predict.

“I encourage everyone to continue to practice all the prevention measures we have become used to, including covering coughs and sneezes, regular hand washing, wearing a face mask when physical distancing is not possible, and staying home when unwell.”

The simple act of protecting yourself and the community by getting the 2022 influenza vaccination will help the Gippsland health care system, which is currently bracing for yet another brutal surge of patient admissions.

Central Gippsland Health chief executive officer Mark Dykgraaf said, “each winter, influenza has a direct impact on the hospital system with increased presentations to emergency departments and increased hospital admissions”.

“At a time when our hospitals are endeavouring to deal with the long waiting lists for elective surgery as a result of the COVID-19 impact, it is important to do all we can to minimise influenza-related demand on our hospitals,” Mr Dykgraaf said.

“The simplest and most effective way that people in the community can assist us is to get vaccinated against influenza as well as COVID-19.

“CGH is encouraging everyone to consider getting immunised, especially those with chronic disease or older Australians.

“Taking this important step minimises a person’s risk of getting a serious disease; it protects their family and friends, and lessens the demand on CGH services.

“It is important to remember that influenza is a serious disease and every year, hundreds of Australians die as a result. We can all do “our bit” by getting vaccinated against influenza.”

For the greater good, health and safety of the community and to relieve the pressure on the already burnt-out health care system, by keeping hospitalisations to a minimum, local doctors and health care professionals implore the public to make use of the free flu vaccinations available to all Victorians aged six months and over until June 30.

WELLINGTON Food Pantry are seeking to remind everybody of their change of address.

The community service is now located at Shop 7 in the Raymond Street mall.

According to facilitator Keeley Barakat, the Pantry’s new home allows for greater exposure than its former site in Mark Avenue.

“A lot of people can’t get to the Mark Avenue location, so this (new location) is a lot easier for everyone to get to,” Ms Barakat said.

The larger size of their new building is also being cited as a key reason for the move.

The Pantry was formed three years ago as an initiative of the Wellington Community Op Shop.

As part of their services, the Pantry provides fresh produce, toiletries and other such essentials to anybody who requires them.

A LOCAL business is the talk of the town after providing a haircut to none other than Anthony Field, a.k.a the Blue Wiggle.

The children’s entertainer and longest-serving member of The Wiggles visited Leigh’s Barber Shop on Thursday evening, much to the delight of hairdresser Lisa Leenders.

“The moment he walked in the door, it was just a laugh,” Lisa told the Gippsland Times.

“He’s just such a nice guy – so down-to-Earth, not pretentious.”

Ms Leenders confessed to being a long-time fan of Field’s, having first seen the entertainer while he performed as part of The Cockroaches.

She then met him again in 1995, following a performance by The Wiggles at Sale’s Memorial Hall.

“My kids went to the concert - they were three and two (years old) – and we went to Redd Catt afterwards for a cuppa, and Anthony rocked up there!”

But his celebrity status was lost on proprietor Leigh Nation, who cut the performer’s hair: “I didn’t even know who he was!”

Nonetheless, Mr Field’s visit was well-received by both Mr Nation and Ms Leenders.

The Wiggle asked for a short-back-and-sides, but according to Ms Leenders, wasn’t particularly fussed about his style.

“He actually just said to Leigh, ‘Do whatever you want.’

“So it was all cut short, and then Leigh said to him, ‘Do you want a line put in?’ and he goes, ‘Go for it.’”

“He wasn’t fussy at all.”

Mr Field even paid for the haircut in full, despite offers of a free and half-price cut.

“We thought, ‘Well, the publicity is going to be worth it!’ But no, he was determined he was going to pay for the haircut,” Ms Leenders said.

Leigh’s Barber Shop was not the only local establishment to be visited by Mr Field – he also paid a visit to the Graze Bistro with his red-shirted counterpart, Simon Pryce, on the advice of Ms Leenders.

“Anthony wanted to know somewhere to go out for tea,” Ms Leenders explained.

“I said: ‘Go to the greyhounds … I’m being biased because I’ll be there.’

“And they did! They rocked up. It was so exciting!”

Ms Leenders found her experience with the Blue Wiggle to be most humbling.

Products are sourced from the Aldi supermarket and local businesses in Sale, with any unwanted produce donated to fellow non-profit groups.

Ms Barakat noted that there had been an uptick in people utilising the Pantry as cost-of-living pressures continue to mount.

“And it’s not just from people that are unemployed – it’s also middle-class, working people that obviously can’t afford their living expenses anymore,” Ms Barakat said.

Volunteers at the Pantry also stressed that nobody is ever turned away, and that they are able to help everyone.

Wellington Food Pantry is open Tuesdays to Thursdays, 9.30am to 2pm, and Fridays from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

“When Leigh asked him his name, there was no portent – he just, ‘I’m Anthony.’ (He) didn’t try and disguise it, didn’t try to hide it,” she said.

“The same thing I noticed last night at the greyhounds – there was no problems to have photos taken.

“Him and Simon were there, they got up, they had photos taken, they chatted to everybody; probably took them 10, 15 minutes to get out of the greyhounds, because everybody wanted photos taken with them when they were leaving.”

Happy 100th birthday Sylvia Zoe Askew

SYLVIA Van de Velde will be the newest addition to the centenarian club when she celebrates her 100th birthday on Thursday, surrounded by friends and staff at Gippsland Health’s Wilsons Lodge.

Sylvia was born in Bairnsdale on June 23, 1922.

Spending her childhood years growing up on a farm in Maffra, when Sylvia and her siblings weren’t at school, they spent their days outside under the sun, in the fresh air, with their horses and dogs.

Sylvia is the third of her siblings to reach 100 years old, with her two eldest sisters passing away at 100 and 101.

The secret to a long life is “outdoor living and living on horses for all your teenage years”, Sylvia said.

Her life has not been without its challenges; Sylvia spent years caring for her mother after being diagnosed with liver cancer.

“You couldn’t touch her in the end. She screamed in pain,” Sylvia said.

“She was 51.

“My dad had a heart attack. I had to look after him for years.”

He died at the age of 85.

Sylvia married the love of her life, Cornelis Van de Velde, known to most as Cory.

He was born in Holland, where he spent most of his early life before moving to Australia.

On their 40th wedding anniversary (May 30, 2017), Cory passed away.

Through his work as a surveyor, Cory and Sylvia crossed the country to Western Australia, where they lived for 30 years, spending most of their time travelling in a caravan.

“I bet I know more of the Western third of Australia than many Western Australians today,” Sylvia says.

Sylvia’s love for travel did not take her overseas; however, she visited Tasmania many years ago.

“Tasmania is the only thing I have been over water for, and I flew then,” she chuckled.

Out of all the places in Australia, Sylvia said her favourite spot is Esperance on the south coast of Western Australia.

“I loved Esperance,” Sylvia said.

Sylvia will be one of the 3700 Australians aged 100 years or over, who have witnessed some of the most monumental events and societal changes in history.

In 1930, when Sylvia was eight years old, The Great Depression hit Australia, leaving hundreds of thousands of Australians without work.

As a result, children were starving, men were

Sylvia’s late husband Cornelius Van de Velde.

The advice Sylvia would give to her younger self. humiliated and powerless, women scrabbled to hold families together, and suicide rates increased dramatically.

Sylvia was aged 17 when Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, and in 1945, when she was 23, World War II was over following the surrender of Nazi Germany.

At the age of 47, Sylvia watched as Neil Armstrong took man’s first steps on the moon in July 1969.

Since the 1990s, there has been a rapid advancement in technology alongside large scale, progressive societal shifts, beliefs and tolerances.

Living longer than many of us ever will, Sylvia has seen a century of changes; however, when asked about the most significant change to the world in the last 100 years, she couldn’t choose.

“I don’t know,” she said.

“I’ve just gone along with everything as it comes.

“You can’t fight it, so I just go with the times.

“Although one thing I will tell you, I never got the hang of a computer.”

Sylvia has always and fondly recalled her first day of school 95 years ago.

“My mother couldn’t come because she had young kids at home, so my older sister had to take me,” she remarked.

Sylvia left the house and trailed closely behind her older sister on the over mile-long journey to school.

Little feet pounded the earth beneath as Sylvia worked hard to keep up with her sister, but Sylvia’s legs ached as they reached the railroad running across the land, separating home and school; she would not take another step.

Not without a break.

“I reckoned it was too far; it was over a mile to walk,” Sylvia said.

“So I sat on the railway line.

Left behind by her sister, a tired Sylvia rested on the railway line when suddenly the ground beneath her began to hum as a train moved sluggishly around the corner.

“The driver slowed right down until the train was almost idling,’’ she said.

“He jumped out and pulled me off the line.”

For a long while after that very first day, young Sylvia would stop and rest her legs, sitting on the railway line on her way to school.

On an afternoon not long after her first day of school, Sylvia’s father said to the driver, “why don’t you stop the train and give her a paddle on the backside”.

“He said to my father, no, I know she’ll always be there, and I will be there to pull her off on time.

I can always remember sitting on that railway line,” she laughed.

Today if you miss Sylvia in the garden, among the trees, you will find her sitting in her armchair in her room at Wilson Lodge.

In her armchair, situated next to a large window looking out over the park where you can catch glimpses of the lake, Sylvia spends her time knitting clothing for her nieces and nephews in WA or doing crossword puzzles as she says, “it keeps the mind sharp”.

Sylvia also loves to listen to music on her radio and read about Darren Chester in the newspaper.

When diversional therapist Tanya Buys mentioned, “Sylvia absolutely loves Darren Chester”, a smile covered her face, and her eyes lit up.

Mr Chester extended a special birthday wish to Sylvia on her monumental birthday.

“I would like to congratulate Sylvia on reaching this extraordinary milestone. This truly deserves to be celebrated and I hope she takes the time to reflect on some of the memories made over the last century,” Mr Chester said.

“I hope Sylvia and her family mark this occasion and have an enjoyable day and that she remains in good health and hearty spirits.”

Sylvia reminisces amorously about her youth growing up on a farm, professing she never had time for reading or the radio because she was always outside, helping her father with the cows, exploring the land on horseback or looking after the dogs.

When asked what her advice to her younger self would be, Sylvia paused briefly, pondering memories of a life well-lived.

“Never milk cows in the afternoon,” Sylvia declared after sharing a story of time on her Orchard Valley farm in Glenmaggie.

While Sylvia has given up horse riding and cow milking and is without a dog for the first time; she remains in good health and spirits.

There is not a moment where Sylvia is not doing anything, whether she is walking, remarkably fast for 100, along the grounds at Wilson Lodge or knitting in her room.

Sylvia leaves her final words of wisdom from a life long-lived.

“I have never been bored of my own company,” she said.

“That’s a good idea.

“Never be bored of your own company.”

Zoe Askew

ATTENTION thespians of Gippsland, and absolutely everybody else, Melbourne performing arts company, The Dog Theatre, is bringing internationally renowned theatre group Born in a Taxi to our region for the first time, for not one but two shows of The Waiting Room.

The contemporary performance, The Waiting Room, is one of East Gippsland Winter Festival’s many incredible events, with two shows on July 1 and 2, from 7.30pm at Iceworks Studio, Lakes Entrance.

In collaboration with the theatre group Born in a Taxi and East Gippsland Winter Festival, the Dog Theatre delivers cutting-edge experimental theatre to Gippslanders’ front doors.

Receiving an abundance of acclamation, critics describe The Waiting Room as a live embodiment of fractal art and a complete night at the theatre.

Who said you had to drive three hours to Melbourne and back to experience the transformative world of performing arts.

Having grown up in the country herself, Born in a Taxi co-artistic director Carolyn Hanna is well acquainted with the limited range of performing art experiences available to regional communities.

Ms Hanna is thrilled to be performing The Waiting Room in Lakes Entrance alongside Penny Baron, Nick Papas, Carolyn Hanna, Sally Smith, and Josiah Lulham.

With music from master musician Michael Havir, The Waiting Room offers Gippslanders an experience like no other.

“Born in a Taxi theatre company has been running for 30 years,” Ms Hanna said.

“The first version of The Waiting Room was performed in 2008, winning awards at Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2010, La Mama and World Theatre Festival Powerhouse Brisbane in 2011 and Big West Festival Substation in 2013.

“We went from seven performers working in this tiny little theatre to doing shows in this cavernous venues.

“We are so excited to bring The Waiting Room to Gippsland, our show is really like no other.

“With no set narrative, performers and the audience create a performance together as we lay gently an invitation to participate throughout the show.

“The Waiting Room caters for everybody, whether you want to be an observer or participant, and

The Waiting Room is staged by the renowned theatre group Born in a Taxi. over the time of the performance, we transform what begins as a room full of strangers into a mini-community.”

Born in a Taxi artists have extensive experience engaging with individuals and audiences, having travelled the world with the participatory theatre.

The Waiting Room throws caution into the wind in a unique, unrepeatable improvisation in which the audience are co-creators.

“Expect the unexpected,” co-artistic director Carolyn Hanna said.

“Expect anticipation, expect mischief and playfulness and also a bit of awkwardness.”

“Despite having no narrative, the work does build into a climax, which I won’t say because it will spoil it, but no one sees it coming. It is a very surprising end.”

Running on the second weekend of the school holidays, The Waiting Room offers the perfect solution to get the kids away from their screens and into the real world.

For all the thespians out there, you won’t want to miss your chance to witness seven of Melbourne’s most experienced physical theatre performers and improvisers prove why they are masters of exceptional ensemble theatre and idiosyncratic dance.

Maybe you want to change date night as the regulatory burger and beer dinner has become tiresome.

The Waiting Room really does have something for everyone.

With the curtains open at 7.30pm on July 1 and 2, now is the time to book your tickets to Born in a Taxi’s production, The Waiting Room.

Gumboot-a-thon makes a splash Gumboot-a-thon, first lap around Cowwarr Primary School.

Photos: Stefan Bradley

Stefan Bradley COWWARR Primary School students and the wider community raised money and awareness for the homeless with the return of their annual Gumboot-a-thon event, beating their fundraising goal in the process.

On Friday morning, the students yelled “Go Cowwarr Team” just after 10 am, and the Gumboot-athon began.

The primary school kids walked around the block in their gumboots as part of a fundraiser to provide sleeping bags to the homeless in Gippsland to keep themselves warm this winter.

The first walk took place over an hour, and after recess, the students put their gumboots back on and walked for another hour, and enjoyed some well-deserved hotdogs.

The weather was perfect; it wasn’t too cold in the morning but there were still some damp spots to stomp with the gumboots.

And it got warmer as the day went on.

Joining the students were family members and their dogs, and Cowwarr community members.

Leading Senior Constables Sarah Reggardo and Kim Kell also showed

April with her decorated gumboot at Cowwarr Primary School. up to support the Gumboot-a-thon.

The participants brought their own gumboots, and were encouraged to decorate them.

Also present were Uniting Gippsland, who partnered with Cowwarr Primary School for the initiative.

Hunter said they were contacted by the school, who said they wanted to support the local homeless community.

“We’re supporting the Gumboot-athon, because helping the homeless is part of our core business and we’re really passionate about it,” Ms Hunter said.

“At Uniting (in Sale), we are an

Over the past financial year we have supported over 400 people through our entry point, with a range of different services and support. We also provide emergency relief services for the community.”

In 2018, the first year that Cowwarr Primary School ran the Gumboot-a-thon, the school raised $2000 for drought relief.

In 2019, they raised $2000 once again for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Due to COVID, there was no event in 2020 and 2021.

For 2022, the students smashed their target of raising $2000.

Mr Fitt told the Gippsland Times that by the end of the day they had raised at least $2100.

“We’ve beaten our expectation with that figure and there’s still some lap pledges we need to count.

We auctioned a gumboot on our Facebook page which sold for $200,” Mr Fitt said.

“The total funds raised once we finish the count may be over $2500!”

Mr Fitt said this was the best Gumboot-a-thon yet.

“Cowwarr Primary School

children just want to see people warm this winter. So we did something about it,” he said.

“One of the nice things about all this is that the school is not just for itself, but is here for the community.

That’s what’s nice about a small school like this.”

“Thank you to the kids, parents and people in the community for supporting our team in trying to make our community better. The children are now thinking about the next Gumboot-a-thon and where they can donate the money.”

Student Chloe said the Gumboota-thon was a “really good thing”.

“It’s raising money for the homeless, and homeless people every day are out on the streets trying to get money. And it’s not really fair for the people who get houses and for the people that don’t,” Chloe said.

“So I think it’s a really good idea to raise money for all of them.”

Another student, April, also said the Gumboot-a-thon was a good idea.

“It raises money for the homeless, so then they can keep warm, even if they can’t afford a home,” April said.

Boost for Rosedale manufacturer Michelle Slater A ROSEDALE manufacturer has been given a shot-in-the-arm from the state government to help expand its business which will help create an additional 13 local jobs.

Bambach Cables was one of three Gippsland businesses to receive a grant under the Regional Jobs Fund, along with Bidfood Australia and LV Shade Sails in Traralgon.

Bambach manufactures low-voltage cables for the defence, rail, machine and building industries, and relocated to Rosedale from Sydney in 2018 with the help of federal funding.

The latest state government grant will allow the business to start manufacturing silica cables and take on more workers.

Bambach Cables managing director Alf Chown said Rosedale provided an ideal spot to relocate due to an existing building at a former tannery and the region’s skilled workforce.

Mr Chown said the business outlook was one of optimism after COVID setbacks and a renewed hunger for Aussie-made products.

“We are looking to grow substantially. Business is starting to kick-off well and truly as we are going into new markets,” Mr Chown said.

“The pandemic disrupted us and hurt us badly but the benefit was it focussed on the need for Australian-made products.”

Mr Chown said Bambach was one of only a few businesses to provide Australian-made cables, with 95 per cent of the materials sourced domestically.

He said the market was looking buoyant, with contracts on the horizon including those in defence and rolling stock.

“We are trying to plug capability gaps in the Australian market and come up with products to meet national demand,” Mr Chown said.

“We are getting lots of enquiries and we’re starting to pick up business across the whole of Australia.

“It’s not easy, it’s competitive as are always fighting against imports, but I’m finding there’s a lot of blue sky because the focus is now on trying to buy local.”

Above: Bambach Cables general manager Alf Chown shows Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas around the Rosedale factory.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas visited the Rosedale factory last week to meet with Mr Chown and other grant recipients.

“The Latrobe Valley and Gippsland is undergoing a significant transition and we know through the detailed work done through my department that manufacturing is one of this region’s strengths,” Ms Thomas said.

“We want to work with manufacturing businesses to support them to continue to grow.”

Kutcha set for show in Sale

Kutcha Edwards is in Sale next week with his new stage show Circling Time: Songs & Stories.

Photo: Contributed

Tom Parry THE promotional images suggest that he’s a rock star, as does his gruelling schedule – 25 live performances in the space of two months.

But the man himself, Kutcha Edwards, sees what he does differently.

“What I believe I’m doing is having an interactive conversation – I’m not actually, in a sense, performing,” Mr Edwards said.

“I liken what it is that I do as dropping an imaginary pebble in an imaginary pond and creating a ripple.”

That ripple will be reaching Sale next week, as he returns to The Wedge with his new stage show Circling Time: Songs & Stories.

The production will see Mr Edwards – a proud Indigenous man and survivor of the Stolen Generations – telling his story through music, which is interspersed with occasional pieces of narration.

All of the music is written and sung by the artist, and lifted from his Circling Time album.

The title of the album, and the show it inspires, refers to his belief that time is infinite and non-linear.

“Time doesn’t have a starting point, time doesn’t have an end – it’s circular,” Mr Edwards said.

“We, as Aboriginal people, believe we can enter the timeline at any time we choose.

“I believe that the vehicle that is my body is 57 years old, but my spirit is millennia (in age).

“You can name any number in your head, and that’s how old I am.”

The music of Circling Time draws upon multiple influences and spans multiple genres, making for an eclectic sound.

For instance, the opening number “Singing Up

Country” has shades of soft-rock, whereas “We Sing” is almost gospel in tone.

Yet the highlight would have to be the haunting, blues-inspired tune “Mrs. Edwards”, telling the earliest memory Kutcha has of his biological mother.

“I remember the moment that led-up to me walking, barging through the front door of Cooinda Cottage, and seeing my Mum,” Mr Edwards recalled.

“I didn’t know who she was, and I was scared of her.

“And I’m haunted by that, knowing that six-year-old kid was scared of his mother.”

The importance of Circling Time goes beyond telling a narrative – it’s about changing attitudes.

“What I’m actually doing is putting a mirror up in-front of non-Aboriginal Australia, because Aboriginal Australia know what it’s like to be us – I know what it’s like to be me,” Mr Edwards said.

His hope is that his story will encourage people to be part of a conversation.

“If they’re adults, they will converse with their children, and if there are children in attendance, then children will say to their Mums and Dads, ‘Mum, Dad, imagine if that happened to us.’ “’Why did it happen to Kutcha? Can you tell me why it happened?’”

“And then the conversation is being had in non-Aboriginal houses, and that’s the importance of what it is that I get to do.”

Circling Time: Songs & Stories will be appearing at The Wedge on Thursday, June 30 from 8pm.

Successful program

DARGO Landcare reports that the recently concluded 2021 50 per cent Chemical Subsidy program received excellent responses.

The bulk purchasing arrangement program, generously sponsored by Wellington Shire and matched by Dargo Landcare, saw 15 landowners take advantage of the purchasing arrangement with Elders in Sale.

This grant resulted in a fivefold increase in value through volunteer hours, Wellington Shire business opportunity and environmental results.

One very happy landowner told Dargo Landcare that the program was a great help in our crop bacterial blight control.

“The wet season meant more blight and more spraying, but less expensive thanks to the subsidy,” the landowner said.

Strong price signals a result for dairy farmers Stefan Bradley WHILE global milk production is set to have decreased for at least four consecutive quarters – from Q3 2021 to the current quarter Q2 2022 – expectations of weakening demand are creating a scenario for moderate price declines in dairy commodities during the second half of 2022, Rabobank says in its latest global Dairy Quarterly report.

Milk production in the Big-7 dairy export regions (the EU, US, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay) contracted year-on-year (YOY) for the past three consecutive quarters.

And Rabobank forecasts that Big-7 production will contract for a fourth consecutive quarter in Q2 2022, something that hasn’t happened since 2012-2013.

Milk output is expected to decline by 1.1 per cent YOY in Q2 2022 after dropping by 1.9 per cent in Q1 2022.

But milk production is expected to recover modestly in coming quarters.

Positive year-on-year growth is anticipated in the second half of 2022, bringing/pulling estimated 2022 calendar year milk production back up to just a 0.5 per cent decline compared to 2021.

Preliminary forecasts for 2023 milk production suggest a below trend gain/increase for the calendar year of 0.5 per cent.

The Rabobank report said structural issues could, however, limit a rebound in milk production growth.

“The current slowdown in global milk output is directly related to higher costs of production and weather events. In the past, production has recovered and surpassed previous peaks, but now there are structural issues that could limit a significant rebound in production from some key exporters,” it said.

In addition, the report said, milk producers around the globe are facing higher corn and soybean prices, and weather disruptions are affecting certain regions, especially Oceania and South America.

Overall inflation pressures in energy, fuel, and wages are also impacting profitability across the Big-7.

Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey.

Despite higher milk prices, milk production growth and the feed costs scenario remain challenging.

Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey said Australian milk production continues to trail last season, with widespread declines across all regions.

“As of April 2022, national milk production was down 3.4 per cent at 7.3 billion litres. The new season begins on July 1, and Rabobank still expects milk production to return to marginal growth in 2022/23, albeit off a low comparable base,” he said.

“There are keen eyes on new season (2022/23) milk price signals leading up to the July 1 kick-off.

Rabobank’s modelled farmgate milk price forecast for Southern Australia in 2022/23 stands at AUD 8.40/kgMS. This is broadly in range with already announced official price offers, which range between AUD 8.25/kgMS and AUD 8.90/kgMS.” As a result, Mr Harvey said, Australian dairy farmers are enjoying record milk price signals for 2022/23, and the early timing of announcements will provide confidence and cashflow support early in the season.

“This is important as dairy farmers face cost

headwinds on a number of fronts. The cost of homegrown feed and supplementary feed will be more expensive, among other inflationary pressures. Against this backdrop, labour availability remains a handbrake on expansion. There is a likelihood that farm margins will be lower in the new season, not higher, despite a circa 15 per cent lift in milk prices to record levels.”

Mr Harvey said there are bright spots on the horizon.

“Seasonal conditions remain supportive for spring pasture growth, and water market conditions are good for irrigation farmers. Non-milk incomes remain elevated, supported by a very firm beef market,” he said.

Mr Harvey told the Gippsland Times he would encourage his dairy farming clients in Gippsland to plan and budget well for the season ahead.

“It’s nice to have strong price signals, but there is a good season ahead of high profitability with good planning. Given where milk prices are, they are going to start very high, and in our view, probably not going to go up higher than that. And of course, they have to factor in the higher costs,” he said.

“A lot of the higher costs come down to global events with the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues. High energy prices and fuel prices affect other things. Agriculture in general is affected.”

Mr Harvey said that his Gippsland clients’ main concerns are the cost pressures and labour shortages.

“Labour has been tough the past couple of years due to the pandemic, which are structural issues.

Margin pressures have made some resist making investments, so there is uncertainty there. On the plus side, confidence levels are elevated due to the profitability and will continue if there are good seasonal conditions,” he said.

Mr Harvey said that the agriculture story broadly was positive in Gippsland and elsewhere, but inflation continued to be an issue.

“Cost inflation is in all parts of the supply chain.

Consumers are going to see high prices for their food, but they’re only just now seeing the high pricing. So we’ll see how they respond over 12 months.

Some will reduce their discretionary spending, and some will bulk buy, but that depends on the individual household pressures. Dairy will be a part of that story,” he said.

Junior Landcare grants now available

VICTORIAN schools, kindergartens, childcare centres, Scouts, Girl Guides, youth and Junior Landcare groups can now apply for the 2022 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants.

For the fifth year, Landcare Australia and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning are collaborating to help schools and selected youth programmes engage young people in environmental care through the grant scheme.

From today until August 9, schools, kindergartens, childcare centres, Scouts, Girl Guides, youth and Junior Landcare groups can apply for grants that provide up to $5000 for projects focused on Victoria’s biodiversity.

The grants funded by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning help enable young people to engage in biodiversityfocused outdoor, hands-on projects or learning

activities that provide both environmental and educational outcomes, as well as health and social benefits.

Additionally, the funding contributes to Victoria’s biodiversity goals, Protecting Victoria’s Environment - Biodiversity 2037, which aims to reverse the decline of our native plants and animals while improving the natural environment.

Landcare Australia chief executive officer Dr Shane Norrish said the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants were critical in empowering young people to take action for the environment’s long-term safety.

“Through their projects, children are able to develop skills, share knowledge, create experiences and foster connections with place and community,” Dr Norrish said.

The Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity

Grants allow young Victorians to engage in projects such as planting an indigenous garden to create a habitat for native birds and insects, working in collaboration with a local Landcare group.

Since its inception in 2018, the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants have funded 461 projects totalling $1.68 million.

This year, Landcare Australia and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning have allocated $450,000 to the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants.

Grant applications close on Tuesday, August 9, 2022.

Wool growers’ kind donations

Dung beetle workshops staged across the region

TWO dung beetle workshops to be held next week will provide free knowledge and free dung beetles for locals around Wairewa and Bairnsdale.

The Wairewa event starts at 10am at the hall on Wednesday, June 29, where participants will learn how to live capture dung beetles, identify them and also relocate them to another farm.

On hand will be dung beetle expert, Dr Russ Barrow, from Charles Sturt University (CSU).

The following day, June 30, at the Gippsland Research Farm on Bengworden Road, participants will learn about dung beetles with Dr Barrow and the impact of worms on the soil with Rick Blackshaw from 10am to 1pm.

The day also includes lunch.

TopSoils’ Nat Jenkins said trap kits would be available for participants to take home, as well as some winter beetles and a freshly released identification guide specific to East Gippsland species.

“We’ve worked on a two-year research project with Southern Farming Systems and CSU and we’ve identified a large area of East Gippsland that does not have winter active dung beetles,” Ms Jenkins said.

“Dung beetles are such fantastic little critters, it’s very exciting that we can bring Dr Barrow to teach people how to trap and relocate them.”

People also have the opportunity to see the impacts of burying compost and manure on worm populations at the Gippsland Research Farm.

Gippsland Agricultural Group’s Rick Blackshaw will show participants the worm populations in the paddock where the soil amelioration trial is taking place.

Mr Blackshaw said he had been amazed at the worm populations in the heavier application sections.

The trial paddock is divided into four plots, consisting of a control area, a five-tonne/ha chicken litter application, a 10t/ha chicken litter application and a 10t/ha compost application.

“I did a worm count recently and in the control area there were two or three worms, in the 5t/ha there were five to seven worms and in the 10t/ha plots there were 17 to 19 worms,” Mr Blackshaw said.

“I would have expected a large difference in the results in say one to two years’ time but it’s really only been a matter of months.

“Worms help with the soil’s biology, they also aerate and open it up, which increases water absorption and retention.”

He said a nice young crop of barley was growing across the paddock and he was looking forward to what the worms may mean for yield potential above the ground.

“The barley should have some really good comparisons,” he said.

Interested participants should contact Natalie Jenkins through Southern Farming Systems or Landcare’s TopSoils project.

Gippsland wool growers have again shown their generosity and care for the community by donating 340kg of some of the country’s finest wool.

the helicopters have reported to me that they have just had the blood transport bags in the choppers updated to a higher level and a data system to monitor the blood installed due to our previous donation which will greatly assist with patient care.

GIPPSLAND wool growers have again shown both their generosity and their care for community by donating a total of 340kg of the country’s finest wool.

The donations were made to support Air Ambulance Victoria, who do such a great job of saving lives in the far-flung parts of Victoria, especially East Gippsland.

This has taken the total donated over seven years to $86,500.

Strong bidding from Brendan Millar of Tech Wool who was the underbidder also assisted in making this auction as successful as it was.

“We at Elders very much appreciate the opportunity to assist in making this happen,” Elders district wool manager Mal Nicholls said.

“The paramedics who do such a great job from

Pies thwart Tigers Scott Berechree

A BLOCKBUSTER crowd was treated to one of the best ninth versus 10th games of football played in country Victoria at Gormandale on Saturday in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League.

The home side Tigers rightfully had all the headlines in the lead-up to the match, with AFL superstar Jarryd Roughead taking to the field.

But it was the travelling Glengarry side that notched up their second win for the season, and in doing so, sent a warning of bigger and better things to come for the Magpies.

A young Glengarry, featuring 12 players aged 22 or under, prevailed in a cracking contest by thirty-five points, 16.15 (111) to 12.4 (76).

While the youngsters like Tom Harris, Jack Burgess and Seth Healy were terrific, it was Reagan McDonald who really stood out as the king of the kids for the Magpies.

His three goals complimented some excellent work all over the field.

Not to be left behind, the Glengarry elder statesmen too held their own.

Jackson Hall was in everything and must have had close to 50 possessions, while down back Alex Bermingham and Andrew May, played the dual roles of defender in chief and attacking weapon.

The only time Gormandale looked to get on top was when Jarryd Garlick, the pick of the Jarryd’s on the day in fact, joined his namesake deep in the forward 50.

When these two titans split the Glengarry team defence, goals came at a rate of knots and when Garlick slotted his fourth in the third term to get the home side within two goals, hopes of a local win surged.

Garlick’s foray forward coincided with David Purves making Hall accountable in the middle and all of a sudden the midfield dominance the Magpies had enjoyed was nowhere to be seen.

And when Blake Hughes asserted himself on the contest and found Roughead 30 metres out directly in front it was expected the Tigers would be within a straight kick.

And this would set-up the final term all those in attendance had hoped for.

Alas, Roughead went wide with his shot.

The resultant kick in saw McDonald on the end of a coast-to-coast passage of play.

The young fella in the blue boots dribble kicked truly and order was restored.

As if that wasn’t enough, Zac Bezzina followed up with his first of the day and the Glengarry went into the final break with a lead of 26 points, which most in attendance considered almost safe.

With Garlick injured after being accidentally tunnelled in a marking contest and Roughead thrown into the middle to

start the last term, it was last roll of the dice stuff for Gormandale.

After 14 minutes Dylan Piening slotted a goal and the home side was entering in Lloyd Christmas areas - so you are saying there is a chance?

No, was the clear reply from those in black and white.

One hundred gamer Michael Ryan goaled and then Trav Patten kicked goals four and five for the day to see the game done with around 10 minutes left to play.

Gormandale tried hard, and would do well to keep the weapon that is Braedon McLean on the field every week, but ultimately the better side prevailed.

The real question now for Glengarry is what is their ceiling? The kids are good, real good.

The older guys can all still play and match day withdrawal Jay Neagle looks to make them only a stronger line-up upon his return.

For Gormandale, they will look back on a great day for them as a club.

A day they didn’t get the win, but a day they should be immensely proud of from the onetwo combo of president and secretary ‘Early’ (Daniel Earl) and ‘Jewlz’ (Julie Currie), right down to the last member on their list.

AT the top end of town it was a case of business as usual with Yallourn Yallourn North taking the wind right out of Sale City’s sails, so to speak.

After an upset win over Traralgon Tyers United pre-bye and the inclusion of boom recruit Billy Quirk, the fifth-placed Bulldogs headed to the home of the Jets considered a sneaky chance of an upset.

If the flicker of hope wasn’t dashed by the first break it was virtually impossible to detect at the main break with the Jets leading 9.6 (60) to 5.4 (34).

Another two quarters of dominance saw the ladder leaders crush the tri-colours by the best part of a dozen goals, winning 19.10 (124) to 8.7 (55).

For the runners-up, Dr Sam Davidson was in everything and slotted three majors in a lone hand up front.

For the victors it was all about D-Mac (Dean MacDonald).

One of the league’s most intimidating forwards rammed home nine majors in a best on ground performance.

Joining him in the Jets’ best players list was recruit Allan Norris.

Prior to Norris’ arrival at YYN it was widely agreed their Achilles heel may be the lack of a ruckman.

No longer the case it seems with the big fella acquitting himself very well and shaping up as the difference for the Jets who continue to march on to September from atop the league ladder.

Darcy Shellcot, Dylan Bath, James De Virgillio and Lachlan Little also played well for YYN.

The day was a poignant one for the Jets, who held a minute silence for club great Jeff ‘Rattle’ Nash, who died earlier in the week.

Nash played 288 games for YYN between 1985 and 2008, winning three premierships with the club.

BOUNCING back from their most recent outing, a defeat by Sale City, an inaccurate Traralgon Tyers United did enough to keep the resurgent Heyfield at bay.

The return of Jack Brown was timely for TTU as he managed to stem the flow of goals from James Beha, while best on deck Michael Jacobsen found himself in everything through the middle.

Brad Kelleher managed three majors and the ever reliable Jye Neilson again slotted into the Bombers’ best players list in a 9.14 (68) to 8.5 (53) victory.

For Heyfield, Jesse Bedggood continued on his recent way contributing four of the Kangaroos eight goals.

After working so hard to get back to level pegging at the long change, Heyfield just couldn’t muster the effort to get passed a desperate Bombers outfit who remain in touch with the top three as a result of their 15-point win.

ROSEDALE kicked themselves out of fifth spot, going down to Churchill by two points.

The teams were locked at 42-apiece at the final change. This despite Rosedale having had six more scoring shots.

With both sides managing three majors in the last it was the extra two behinds the home side kicked in that made all the difference as the Cougars won 9.10 (64) to 8.14 (62).

Ryan ‘Chompers’ Lowrie kicked three for the winners with the ageless Brendan Holt timing his return to the senior line-up perfectly, booting four and being the difference between the sides.

Chris Williams was best on for Churchill while Riley Atlee was named best for Rosedale.

Rosedale’s Tom Northe was again among the goals, slotting four, to go with the five he kicked a couple of weeks ago. Sides will be starting to zero in on him in the coming months.

With Rosedale gun forward Brad Scott kept off the scoresheet it was left to Frazar Brouns to join Northe on the goal kickers list. Brouns too slotted four to combine with Northe for the Blues eight goals for the day.

THE final game of the round saw Yarram comprehensive 104-point winners over Cowwarr.

Yarram was rarely challenged, and ended up winning 21.18 (144) to 6.4 (40).

The Demons, Jets and Cougars sit two games clear of TTU who are a game clear of Sale City back in fifth.

WOODSIDE had the bye.

Eagles survive a real fright before victory Liam Durkin

IT’S an unforgiving competition this Gippsland League.

The margins from the five games last Saturday totalled just 21 points, making it the third closest round in league history, and closest in 55 years.

The ladder is starting to look like what most people predicted in the preseason, with Leongatha and Wonthaggi taking the top two positions.

Away from the on-field action, the round also provided a moment to reflect, as it marked 10 years since Leongatha player Beau Vernon suffered the horrific injury that left him a quadriplegic.

Any teams or players seeking motivation for the rest of the season could well draw inspiration from what Vernon has been able to achieve since that time.

Not only in his rehabilitation, but in coaching the Parrots to three consecutive grand finals.

MAFFRA did what it needed to do against Drouin.

The Eagles had to fight off a persistent Hawks outfit that proved hard to totally shake.

In the end though, Maffra did enough to win its fifth match for the season 10.10 (70) to 9.5 (59).

The victory keeps the Eagles hovering in sixth position on the ladder and in line to knock out an opponent above.

An even first quarter set the tone for the rest of the game at Maffra Recreation Reserve.

Drouin took a narrow four-point lead early in the piece before the Eagles got up and running.

On the scoreboard at least the second quarter proved to be where the game was won and lost. Maffra added five goals to establish a 15-point lead, which appeared to be a manageable margin to work around for the rest of the game.

The Hawks however enjoyed a dominant third term, and kicked three goals while also keeping Maffra goalless.

Just one point was the difference at the final change of ends, but the Eagles finished the better of the two, scoring three goals to one to secure victory.

Danny Butcher was best for Maffra. Others to play well were Lachlan Channing, Dylan Alexander, Kade Renooy, Tom Thatcher and Hudson Holmes.

Best for Drouin were Jarrod Marshall, Aden Quirk, Kyle Quirk, Joseph Collins, Charlie Wans and Seth Calway.

Mitch Bennett kicked two goals in his 100th match for Maffra, and shared the goals with partner in crime Daniel Bedggood who scored twice and Tom Jolly who scored thrice.

Bennett has been one of the most successful goal sneaks in the Gippsland League in recent years, consistently among the top scorer’s at seasons end.

FLU season of a different kind hit Sale Oval.

The Magpies had kicking-flu in front of goal, losing their match against Wonthaggi by one point 14.6 (90) to 13.11 (89).

The Power’s Harry Dawson proved to be the torn in Sale’s day, kicking a goal with a minute left in the match to seal the Magpies fate.

Sale was slow out of the blocks, dropping five goals in the first quarter, before making its way back into the match.

The Magpies responded in the second, adding four majors to trail by only nine points at the main break.

Teams went goal-for-goal in the third, as the game opened up to see umpires at either end wave the flags half a dozen times.

Sale found themselves in exactly the same position at three quarter time as it had the previous break, nine points adrift.

An exhilarating final quarter unfolded, with the Magpies and Power fighting it out right to the end.

Sale looked set to hold on for dear life, before Dawson bobbed up and made himself the real Star of the South.

Brad Dessent kicked four goals for the Magpies and featured in the best players.

Jack McLaren was best on ground, followed

by Mitch Thacker, Shannen Lange, Tom Campbell and Finn Stephenson.

Dawson featured in the best for Wonthaggi, as did Tom Davey, Jordan Staley, Kyle Reid, Ryan Sparkes and Toma Huther.

The result saw the Power climb to second on the ladder, the first such time they have been in that position.

Wonthaggi has caught a few teams napping

in recent weeks, and having now strung together some wins after losing a couple by under six points, has catapulted itself into the top two.

For Sale, the repercussions of losing a game by one point were not overly severe, although they now find themselves outside the top three on percentage.

TRARALGON proved they are the real deal.

The Maroons stormed home in the last quarter to very nearly hand Leongatha its first loss of the season, only to go down 12.5 (77) to 11.8 (74).

Trailing by 21 points at the last change, Traralgon found something extra to kick four goals to one in a dramatic finish.

While they were unable to secure the four points, the Maroons can now rest easy in the knowledge they can genuinely beat the Parrots.

With Traralgon key forward Brett Eddy not playing either last Saturday, there can be little to no doubt his inclusion if these two teams happen to meet come finals makes it a whole new ball game.

Liam Farley played his best game in a Traralgon jumper, while captain Dylan Loprese, Sam Hallyburton, Haydn Hector, Tom Schneider and Hugh Dunbar also did a good job.

Best for Leongatha was Cameron Stone, Travis Nash, Aaron Heppell, Tom Crocker, Tom Marriott and Steve Forrester.

Hector was assigned Marriott to tag, and put in a determined display against one of the prime movers in the competition.

Judging by the atmosphere in the Traralgon social rooms post-match, the Maroons were not at all dejected.

While most acknowledged it was a game they ‘should have won’, they took solace in the knowledge Leongatha are certainly beatable - something not many people were thinking four weeks ago.

The Maroons know the format of tournament play better than most, and as one official was heard saying “we only have to beat them once”.

And given the fact Traralgon has only lost to Leongatha by less than 10 points on both occasions this season, it is clear they not only have the personnel, but the system to do it.

In looking at just how you go about defeating Leongatha, the take-out from conversations within the social rooms was that two things are an absolute necessity: Apply elite levels of frontal pressure and tag Marriott.

Exiting the social rooms on Saturday night, a half-familiar face walked past this writer.

Taking some time to process who it was, it

was none other than former Geelong player Jordan Cunico, who has Traralgon listed as his home club when not on VFL duty for Box Hill.

Gippsland League followers will be watching on with interest to see if he makes an appearance for the Maroons this season or not.

MORWELL kept its finals dream alive.

The Tigers defeated Bairnsdale in a hardfought tussle, getting up by five points at home.

Morwell had to dig deep, trailing at every change, but were ahead when it mattered most, with the final scoreboard reading 12.18 (90) to 12.13 (85).

Cody Macdonald had the ball on a string for the Tigers, collecting 37 touches and best on ground honours. Tristen Waack continued his terrific season of development, as did Nathan Noblett, while experienced campaigners Boyd Bailey, Tyler Brown and Dun Musial were prolific.

Byron and Kieran Vickery were best for Bairnsdale.

Others to play well for the Redlegs were Liam Giove, Damon O’Connor, Andrew Nelson and Daniel Preston.

MOE certainly make life hard for themselves sometimes.

The Lions ventured to Western Park to take on Warragul, and retuned defeated by one point.

That measly point could have been overcome had a series of points gone through for goals at the Lions’ end of the ground, but instead ... well ... you know how the saying goes.

The final scoreboard did not make for pleasant reading for those wearing the maroon and blue: Warragul 10.6 (66) defeated Moe 8.17 (65).

The game probably should have been over at the main break, but Moe’s inaccuracy not only kept Warragul in the contest, but allowed them to stay alive.

Come three quarter time, Warragul was only three points behind.

The Gulls then kicked two goals to one in the last to hold on.

Mitchell Smart was best for the home side, and received good support from Nick Mulqueen, Tully Loomes, Micah Williames, Patrick Ireland and Sam Fennell.

Best for Moe was Matt Heywood, Brock Smith, Ben Daniher, Jess McGrath, Harri Sim and Charlie Rieniets in his first game for the seniors this season.

Bombers blast Cats

EAST GIPPSLAND SCOREBOARD ROUND 10

Liam Durkin

SENIORS

THE second-half of the East Gippsland football season got underway last Saturday.

Results from across the weekend ensured the competition ladder stayed incredibly tight.

Three teams are still all on the same number of wins.

The season therefore looks set to go very deep, and it could well reach a stage where no matches even in Rounds 17 or 18 are classified as ‘dead rubbers’.

THEY have a knack of always making things interesting at Boisdale-Briagolong.

Whether it is winning every game after Christmas to scrap into finals and then take out a cricket premiership, or in this case, rolling the second-top team by 44-points, the Bombers just find a way to regain attention when all hope seems lost.

With only two wins to their name at the halfway mark of the season, Boisdale-Briagolong went into the break faced with a challenging task.

Not totally out of finals contention, but still two wins away from the top four, the Bombers needed to take a scalp to catapult itself back into the picture.

Boisdale-Briagolong did exactly that on the weekend, defeating Lindenow 19.15 (129) to 11.13 (79).

The Bombers kicked five goals in the opening term to start full of running at home.

From there it was more of the same, and the scoreboard showed a 43-point lead to the advantage of Boisdale-Briagolong as teams went into the sheds.

Not one to rest on their laurels, the Bombers added another five goals in the third quarter, while the Cats managed just two.

With the game beyond all reasonable doubt at the last change, Boisdale-Briagolong then took its total well past the 100 mark when the final siren sounded.

A high-scoring final quarter gave spectators plenty of attacking football to be entertained by, as 12 goals were kicked all up.

Lindenow ran the game out well, slamming home seven goals in the last quarter, but BoisdaleBriagolong could have perhaps been forgiven for leaking a few goals given how much both teams attacked in the final term.

While some might look at the last quarter and say the Bombers took their foot off the pedal, they still kicked five goals. If you are only getting outscored by two goals in a quarter of football it is never too much cause for concern.

Photo: Contributed Cal Egan kicked three majors for the winners in his 100th match, and was well supported by Billy Marshall, Kel Porter, Rhys Johnson and Byron Sandeman.

Matt Wilkinson provided a strong target inside 50, and finished the day with eight goals, taking his season total to 24.

Best for Lindenow was Justin Gould, Josh Lando, Norm Barry, Todd Alexander, Cooper Shaw and Will Blackley.

A familiar face lined up against Boisdale-Briagolong in Dylan Bolton.

Bolton, captain of Boisdale-Briagolong Cricket Club last summer, was not the only prominent local cricketer playing on the day, with Rohan Blandford (formerly of Sale Cricket Club) also in the Cats colours.

Having now defeated the top two teams in Wy Yung and Lindenow this season, Boisdale-Briagolong is sure to be more than a danger side to opponents for the rest of the 2022 campaign.

STRATFORD lost a close game against Wy Yung.

The travelling Swans took it right up to the ladder leaders, but fell short in a 12.7 (79) to 10.7 (67) finish.

Hardly anything separated the combatants for most of the match, although a second quarter fade-out from Stratford proved telling.

After an even first term, the Swans could not manage a goal in the second, during which time the Tigers added four.

The result of this meant Stratford was playing catch-up for the rest of the game, and while it did its best to wrestle back the lead, it could not bridge the gap.

Stratford added four goals of its own on the resumption of play after the long break, but three goals to Wy Yung in the same timeframe saw the Tigers maintain

a handy 11-point lead at three quarter time.

This lead ended up being virtually the same when full-time was called, as both teams kicked two goals in the last.

Despite the result, the Swans will take confidence knowing their best football is good enough to trouble the top side.

Regan Tait was best on ground for the red and white.

Others to play well were Ryan Thatcher, Jack Bacon, Ben Channing, Brad White and Tim Hawkins who kicked four goals.

Tom Stephenson, Jock Overend, Daniel Perrin and Mitch Dewar got the nod as best players for Wy Yung.

The result did not have overly drastic ramifications for Stratford, who are still fourth, in among a logjam of teams from third to sixth.

IN other games, Lucknow was too strong for Paynesville.

Playing away from home did not deter the Magpies, who led at every change to win 11.17 (83) to 4.8 (32).

Chris Hammond was instrumental in the victory, as was Jack Saulle, Josh Carroll, Jesse Glassborow, Jackson Smith (four goals) and Dallas Smith.

Best for Paynesville was James Farquhar, Jordan Dadswell, Scott Joustra, Caleb Marsh and David Ashworth.

The win was an important one for Lucknow, who went two points clear of the Gulls on the ladder as a result.

THE match between Lakes Entrance and Orbost-Snowy Rovers ended in unfortunate circumstances, after a severe injury in the first quarter led to the game being called off.

With a much more important issue to deal with, the Seagulls and Blues split the points.

Grand final time has arrived in Sale Touch

Bulldogs stick with Thomas

Laurie Smyth

LAST week’s elimination finals saw Longford Trailer Hire defeat Mustangs 7-2; in the other game The Drop Kicks scored a 7-4 win against an undermanned Porky’s.

Longford and Mustangs played a very fast game, and it was not until after 10 minutes that Kyle Grummisch made the first try to get Longford on the scoreboard.

Patrick Doherty replied for the Mustangs.

Despite the Mustangs captain, Corey Siebel, encouraging his team it was to no avail as Brodie Towers and Grummisch added one try each to take the half-time score to 3-1.

In the second-half it was Towers to open the scoring blitz.

Sale City Football-Netball Club president Michael Clapton congratulates senior coach Nathan Thomas on his reappointment.

Photo: Contributed

SALE City Football-Netball Club has reappointed Nathan Thomas as senior coach.

Thomas is currently in his first season as coach, and has the Bulldogs fifth on the ladder after 10 rounds.

“The club’s performance thus far this season commands such an appointment and was accepted without hesitation,” the club said in a statement.

Sale City will look to make further inroads towards a final qualification this season.

The Bulldogs have been one of the big improvers of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League competition, highlighted by a creditable win over a highly fancied Traralgon Tyers United in Round 9.

Grummisch came into his own with pace and brilliant ball skills to add to his tally for the night.

The Mustangs Alex Rennex made a strong run to no avail as the ball fell short of the try line.

Teammate Siebel was in the action when he dived to score however this was disallowed.

Jordan Frend played a very fast game with several long runs however these did not result in any score.

Siebel’s persistence paid off when he made a try – his team’s only score in the second-half.

Oscar Crunden-Smith and Towers added to the Longford total.

Best players were Crunden-Smith, Siebel, Towers, Nicola Rosenberger, and Isla McCarthy with Tara Smeaton winning the encouragement award.

The Drop Kicks and Porky’s game was disappointing as Porky’s only had five players and

Roughy shines at Gormandale More than 1000 people came to see former Hawthorn champion Jarryd Roughead play for Gormandale.

Liam Durkin THE population of Gormandale was instantly tripled at the weekend, as former Hawthorn champion Jarryd Roughead rolled into town.

People came from everywhere to see the Coleman Medallist play a one-off game for the local team, and cars parked wherever they could find a space outside the Gormandale Recreation Reserve.

So big was the crowd, Gormandale FootballNetball Club had to hire security so players and officials could get into the changerooms.

More than 1000 people saw Roughead pull on the yellow and black, as he took to the field against Glengarry.

Roughead was secured by Gormandale as part of a promotional deal by brewing company Cartlon & United, who ran an initiative where eight ex-AFL stars were put into a pool and drafted to country clubs.

Wearing the number 9 guernsey, the fixture with Glengarry had some relevance for Roughead, as he is currently serving as an assistant coach at St Kilda, where Glengarry’s own Tim Membrey is plying his trade.

With one win to their credit this season, Gormandale was hoping Roughead’s presence would be enough to get them over the line.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be on the field, as the Tigers lost 16.15 (111) to 12.4 (76).

Roughead started at full forward, and finished with two goals and a number of assists throughout the match.

While some naysayers might wonder if Roughead was only making a token appearance for a beer company, watching live it did look like he was genuinely trying.

A clinical right foot snap out of the ruck in the third quarter showed his class, and judging by his reaction and celebration, he wanted Gormandale to win as much as the regular players.

Post game, he generously stood for photos and signed autographs, taking his time to get to as many people as he could, and then mingled with locals into the night.

Roughead signs autographs for a couple of eager signature hunters.

Jarryd Roughead flies for a mark, with Glengarry’s Nic Quenault (No 22) and Lachlan Jewell (No 5) in close quarters.

Speaking of the experience, Roughead said it was great to see such a strong turnout.

“I was more than happy to do my job today, I probably didn’t achieve what I wanted to get done which was win,” he said.

“Driving down today I was like, ‘yep, sunny, picked the best weekend’. I get here and the vice president says, ‘sorry mate, we’ve done 150 mill the last two weeks’.”

Gormandale was required to do a power of work behind the scenes in the lead-up to the event, and club president Daniel Earl wished to sing the praises of those who had made it a success.

Roughead’s former Hawthorn teammate Ben Dixon came along for the ride.

“If I didn’t have the committee that I had we wouldn’t be where we are,” he said.

“A huge day for the club, to see a lot of people around that you haven’t seen for years is great.

“Talking to people who have been here 20/30 years they have never seen this many cars here, that is unbelievable, a huge, huge success.”

The president said their marquee man would now always have a connection to Gormandale.

“Roughead has been fantastic, he rolled in and played a reasonable game,” he said.

“To experience that, these are memories that will last those guys (who got to play with him) forever.

“It wasn’t the result we were after but they were competitive all day, they battled hard, and the promising thing from my point of view is probably our best players were 20 or under so the future going forward looks fantastic for the club.”

The Tigers executive would have surely slept well after it was all over, especially considering they only had a month or so to pull it all togehter.

To give you an idea of just what went into organising the event - the first committee meeting lasted the best part of four hours.

Glengarry too would have been pleased to get through the day.

Imagine playing a game knowing 95 per cent of the crowd has come to see you lose.
