FIREFIGHTERS in Yarram are still waiting for a new station to be built as their current building continues to deteriorate. The volunteer-led Yarram Fire Brigade has been promised a new building since 2016, with no confirmation as to when construction will begin. Funding and budget restraints within the Country Fire Authority are being cited as reasons for the delay. The inaction comes as the brigade’s current home in James Street faces significant structural and weatherresistance issues.
Captain Ian Badham first flagged issues with the building in 2015, when the station started breaking-up. He believes that the station is becoming unworkable. “There’s just no room to expand, so it’s no longer fit for purpose,” Cpt Badham said. “It’s starting to hit that stage now that something needs to be done. The building’s starting to deteriorate and fall down around us.” Evidence of that deterioration is found all through the station. Cracks are appearing in both the exterior brickwork and plaster inside. In one storage area, the crack in a

main issue with the station is that it is simply an outdated building, unsuitable by modern standards. Cpt Badham noted that the James St building does not have a dedicated changing room, with uniforms and safety gear currently hung on the garage walls next to the trucks. When responding to an incident, all volunteers must change out of their clothing and into their uniforms. At Yarram, this is done with only centimetres between the volunteers and the trucks, which risks somebody being run-over.

concrete wall is so large that a hole has developed, allowing a clear view of the Senior Citizens building next door. The foundations are breaking through the concrete floor beneath where Yarram’s two fire trucks are parked. Dents are visible at the entrance where the trucks – the only ones small enough to fit within the building – have scrapped against the narrow door frame. The situation is made even worse during wet weather, when water makes its way through the gaps in the ceiling. “When it rains, it leaks, and we’ve got buckets down here, there and everywhere,” Cpt Badham said. Aside from its dilapidated state, the

A Good Firey Appeal Stefan Bradley
MAFFRA Fire Brigade is once again taking part in the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal and is inviting the community to volunteer. Captain Brendan King said that anyone can take part and they’re looking for adults and kids aged 8 and up to volunteer. “We need some adults that can accompany the kids around town,” Captain King said.
“They don’t need to be fire brigade members, we will be checking if the adults have a Working with Children Check, which is easy to obtain online. “Phil Hawkins at the furniture store can help with applications. “We’re going to be door knocking for the appeal, and plan on setting up a table in the main street.” Third Lieutenant Anthony Kovco said it was a great way for the community to get together after COVID, and the money was for a really good cause. “If you are keen to come along and help, please drop into the Hawkins Furniture Store in Maffra
and speak with Phil Hawkins, or text me on 0431 846 137 and register your details ASAP,” Lt Kovco said. “Many hands make … more funds raised!” The start time is 9.30am on Friday, April 15 at the Maffra Fire Brigade. The Country Fire Authority (CFA) is also looking for new members, with the Maffra Fire Brigade meeting at their station every Monday at 7.30pm. “Anyone aged 16 and over is welcome, come meet us on Mondays and become a part of the CFA or go to the website,” Lt Kovco said.

Rubik’s Cube devotees are hip to be square Tom Parry DEVOTEES of the humble Rubik’s Cube will be descending on the region next weekend for Sale’s annual speedcubing event. Solving in Sale will see participants, known as “cubers”, compete in a variety of time-based, puzzle-solving challenges, with winners earning the chance to enter the official World Cube Association rankings. The niche event is being organised by local resident Jeff Hobbs, who became involved in the cubing community through his son Emmet. “About five years ago, (Emmet) took up an interest in Rubik’s Cubing because we gave him a cube to help him with his motor skills,” Mr Hobbs said. “He looked up on YouTube how to solve it – which tends to be the way most kids get involved these days – and discovered that he could do it fairly well, and as he got better, he came and asked if he could go to a competition. “So we brought him to that, having no knowledge as to what the (competitions) were like or how they ran, and it just grew from there.” The event is being promoted and hosted by Speedcubing Australia, a non-for-profit organisation that assists in the management of official WCA competitions, such as Solving in Sale. The organisation’s presence is part of a broader move to not only legitimise events, but to entice cubers and spectators away from major population centres. “One thing they want to do is try and get it out of the capital cities and make it more regional,” Mr Hobbs said. The main event at Solving in Sale will be the 3x3x3 Cube competition, which will see cubers attempt to unscramble a conventional Rubik’s Cube in the fastest time possible. But this is no easy feat. “You’re looking at 20 to 50 moves for a complete solve, and the really fast solvers are doing around about 13 or 14 moves per second, which is very fast,” Mr Hobbs said. “A lot of that involves some finger tricks where you’re actually multi-tasking your hands. “So as you’re moving one side, you’re also flipping another part with another finger, and that gets things moving pretty quickly.” The current world record for solving a 3x3x3 cube is 3.47 seconds, held by China’s Du Yusheng. The Australian record is 4.16 seconds, held by Feliks Zemdegs, who is currently ranked fourth in the world. While these quick times may seem daunting to newcomers or younger cubers, they are still being encouraged to attend.

“One thing we always say is that new competitors are always welcome, and you don’t have to be really fast to start to learn how to do it well,” Mr Hobbs said. “The nice thing about the cubing community

is that everyone’s willing to help each other. “Even if you’re first and the next person’s second, you’re going to be swapping ideas as to how to get better. “So while there’s competition, there’s also a lot of cooperation and it’s a really friendly atmosphere. “As long as you can solve it, that’s all that really matters.” Professional and prospective cubers will be able to participate in several categories over the weekend, including blindfolded and onehanded competitions, as well as events solving unconventional cubes like the Pyraminx and Megaminx. Among the cubers expected to be part are Riley Dexter and David Epstein, who are ranked within the top 20 competitors in Oceania, and Traralgon resident Michael Tripodi, who is proficient in the blindfolded events. The competition will be held at Catholic College Sale’s Marcellin Hall on April 9 and 10, with attendance free for all spectators. Registrations to compete in the event close this Friday, April 1.

Stefan Bradley HAIRDRESSER Bernie Faithfull loved her hair more than most, but not even that didn’t stop her shaving the world from blood cancer as part of the World’s Greatest Shave for the Leukaemia Foundation. After Ms Faithfull’s close friend Amanda Crisp was diagnosed with leukaemia, she knew she had to shave for the cause. After months of raising funds, the big cut happened at the Avon Hotel in Stratford earlier this month. Ms Faithfull told the Gippsland Times there was an excellent turnout at the public event. “Amanda and her family were there as special guests to take part in the shave,” Ms Faithfull said. “But she was sad to see my hair go, because she loved my hair which was down to my waist, but she was excited to do the very first part of the shave. “I think Amanda is doing pretty well at the moment, and she has longer hair than me now.” Ms Faithfull said she wasn’t sure how she was going to style her hair as she grows, but is giving the floor to her colleagues at Hair is Kanyemba in Sale. “I’ll let them have a bit of fun with it and see what they want to do, and I could always shave it off again if I need to.” Amanda Crisp and her husband Rick and three kids live in Omeo, and Ms Faithfull says her trip to the hospital in Melbourne takes six hours. “Amanda is going back and forth from Melbourne, but the Leukaemia Foundation is paying for

Findings of inquiry of regional newspapers welcomed by CPA THE Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts has concluded its inquiry into Australia’s regional newspapers. The report, The Future of Regional Newspapers in a Digital World, has been presented to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and is available on the inquiry webpage: https://www.aph.gov. au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/House/ Communications/Regionalnewspapers/Report. The Committee made 12 recommendations for the federal government to consider. These recommendations include considering the viability of a tax rebate for regional news businesses and the development of a targeted grants program aimed at small, independent newspapers based in regional and remote Australian communities. The Committee recommends the Australian Government review government advertising expenditure across all departments and agencies with a view to ensuring a minimum of 20 per cent of government print advertising is placed in regional newspapers. Country Press Australia (CPA) president
Andrew Manuel has welcomed the positive findings from the Federal Parliamentary Inquiry into Australia’s Regional Newspapers and has called for bi-partisan support for the implementation of its recommendations. “This has been an important and productive inquiry, and the findings can make a real difference to help sustain independent regional news services into the future if implemented,” Mr Manuel said. The recommendations made by the Committee include ensuring 20 per cent of government print advertising is placed in regional newspapers, and that the Government considers the viability of a tax rebate for regional businesses that support their local newspaper. An important recommendation the Committee concluded is “that the Australian government develop a targeted grants program aimed as small, independent newspapers based in regional and remote Australia communities”, which aligns to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Final Report of June 2019, recommendation 10, which called for a targeted grants program that supports the
production of original local and regional journalism. “Regional newspapers are the perfect medium for reaching many regional Australians with important government messages, so it’s a wise and welcome recommendation to ensure more government advertising is placed with our local independent publications,” Mr Manuel said. He said that he expected broad political support for the recommendations due to the wide and diverse range of voices that were heard by the Inquiry. “There were clear and consistent themes presented to the Inquiry and at the very top of that list is how important having a local independent news service is to regional communities,” he said. The Inquiry chair Dr Anne Webster noted that “regional newspapers are about regional stories and are a shared community experience” and that, “as newspapers close, readers are pushed towards social media for their news, which increases Australians’ exposure to misinformation and creates a disconnect in communities”.

From page 1 Additionally, volunteers will often have to change without privacy, since the garage that houses the trucks opens onto James St. Understandably, Cpt Badham would rather not have the prying eyes of the public watching the firefighters change into their uniforms. “As captain, I don’t want my female volunteers having to basically strip down to their underwear in full view of everyone,” he said. Issues like the above aren’t just a hindrance to Yarram’s firefighters, but to potential recruits as well. Brigade secretary Sally Woods said that the state of the building is affecting the recruitment of new volunteers. “It’s very difficult to recruit when you’ve got limited facilities, like this, to bring people into,” Ms Woods said. Cpt Badham added: “They come in and see the building falling down … and they leave.” Although it is not yet known when a new fire station in Yarram will be built, land has been purchased on Commercial Rd to construct a new facility for the brigade. Said land was purchased in 2016. In a media release earlier this month, Gippsland South MP Danny O’Brien stated that works on the new building would commence next year. “I have now been told that the rebuild of the Yarram station has finally been budgeted for by the CFA in the 2023-24 financial year, but may be brought forward,” Mr O’Brien said. “While it has been a long time coming, there is no doubt that this will serve as welcome news to the hard-working emergency service volunteers that have been making do with inferior facilities for years.” But a spokesperson for the CFA was unable to confirm to the Gippsland Times that such an arrangement had been reached. “Land has been acquired and construction of a replacement fire station at Yarram has been identified as a priority within the CFA Capital Works Program, but is not currently funded,” the spokesperson said. “The Capital Works Program is informed by CFA's infrastructure priorities, which take into consideration district, regional and statewide needs, including community risk profile and

raised towards construction, with another $70,000 still needed. Cpt Badham said that any further donations from the community would be welcome.

Warm welcome STAR of the South has welcomed the federal government's consultation on the first stage of Offshore Electricity Regulations as the latest positive development for accelerating the sector. As Australia’s first and most progressed offshore wind project, Star of the South has the potential to be operating off the south coast of Gippsland in Victoria before the end of the decade. The commencement of this latest consultation process is a welcome sign that government is serious about facilitating offshore wind development. It will be critical for ongoing industry and regional economic development that the next steps - including finalising the regulations and getting on with the first projects - occurs as soon as possible. Ongoing coordination between federal and state governments is also required to address potential environmental, social, and economic impacts and benefits, as projects progress through necessary planning approval processes.
“A local offshore wind sector will deliver clean energy, cut emissions, and create jobs for Australians. Now is the time to make it happen by keeping momentum and prioritising the Gippsland coast for offshore wind development,” Star of the South chief development officer Erin Coldham said. “We welcome the first stage of regulations and acknowledge the extensive work by the Australian government to date – this is great progress. “We look forward to participating in the government consultation process, to provide feedback on timely, fit for purpose, and appropriately staged regulations and oversight. “Offshore wind projects have long lead times – this is especially true in new markets like Australia where no offshore wind projects have previously been built, so momentum from government, investors and developers will need to continue at pace to help offset the loss of existing generation and for new opportunities to be realised.”

From now until the Candlelight Vigil on May 5 2022, 10 per cent of proceeds from every sale of the limited-edition Lotus Flower 340g candle will go towards the prevention of violence against women in Gippsland. The annual Candlelight Vigil is a national day to bring people together to remember and honour the women and children who have died as a result of family and domestic violence. Gippsland Women’s Health communications manager Sam Foat said the annual Candlelight Vigil is a good way to remind people about the numbers of deaths that happen locally. “The vigil is a peaceful moment of reflection, and our collaboration with a local brand and business (Scarlet & Grace) is a first for us, to make sure that people are reminded about the event,” Ms Foat said. Gippsland has some of the highest rates of family violence, intimate partner violence, rape and indecent assault in Victoria. “On average, one women a week is murdered by her current or former partner in Australia. More than 50 per cent of our region including East Gippsland, Wellington, Latrobe and Bass Coast are four of the most dangerous locations in Victoria for women and girls to live,” Gippsland Women’s Health chief executive officer Kate Graham said. “In several areas in Gippsland, a woman is 26 per cent more likely to be raped or sexually assaulted than if she lived in other areas of Victoria”. Scarlet & Grace co-founder Ryan Clancy said the reception to the candles had been positive since they launched on International Women’s Day on March 8. “It’s been growing, everyone wants to help support the cause as best they can, and in return for their support they’re also getting a candle,” Mr Clancy said. “It’s a great way to remind them what they’ve got behind, and they tell me they love the design and the product.”
Elli Quirk of Elle's Quirky Designs assisted in the development of the limited-edition candle and said it deliberately picked the lotus scent for the candle. “The meaning behind the lotus is reemerging out of darkness and resilience, which fits in with the women in our community coming out of violent situations having to rebuild their lives, so there’s a sentimental meaning behind it as well. It’d be amazing to see these candles at the vigil,” she said. The GWH x Scarlet & Grace limited-edition candle can be purchased online at scarletand grace.com.au, or visit www.gwhealth.asn.au/ donate/ to make a donation. Below are the locations that will light up in purple for the vigil on May 5, with GHW in negotiations to organise more: Clocktower, Raymond Street, Sale, The Wedge, Sale and the Rotunda, Johnson Street, Maffra.

Concert proves a rocking success
LOCAL artists showcased their musical talents in front of a big crowd at the recent All-Ages Tour, which was organised and hosted by Wellington Shire Youth Council. Around 300 music lovers flocked to Sale Memorial Hall on Sunday, March 20 for the event headlined by national acts Thelma Plum and Dallas Woods. Local 2021 Battle of the Bands winner Spring Thing (made up of Sale College students and alumni), Triple J Unearthed High artist Emily Jansen (Year 11 student at Maffra Secondary College) and The Voice grand finalist Mick Harrington took to the stage indoors, while Ella McCubbin played acoustic tunes in the courtyard. Self-taught DJ Hamish Telfer, who picked up the skill during COVID-19 lockdowns, kept the tunes going between sets. Wellington Shire Youth Council and FReeZA crew Propellor supported the event by decorating the hall with fairy lights and fun seating options, as well as creating a green room for the artists. Sale College drama department and Wellington Community Op-Shop donated an eclectic blend of vintage furniture for the event. Food trucks operated by local businesses helped feed the crowd, while a barbecue was run by a Stratford-based disability support group. This event was one of 20 legs of the drug, alcohol and smoke-free All-Ages Tour coordinated by Australian youth music organisation The Push. The All-Ages Tour event was originally set to take place in October last year but was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Local band “Spring thing” features Daniel Gell, Jack Miller, Sam Norwood, Finn Staple and Bella Thompson-Hope.

Confounded by confusion
My Melbourne hospital nightmare
AFTER a visit to a local doctor it was decided that I needed to go to Melbourne to see the specialist who had done my procedure. Transport was arranged for that day by the Flying Doctors and I was flown to Melbourne to a major hospital. Once there, I was put in a wheelchair and sat in the emergency department for eight hours without food or drink. I was lonely and afraid, as there were security guards everywhere, not a smile to be seen. I was eventually moved to short stay where I got some sandwiches. The doctor came and I was moved again, to the transition ward where it was decided to send me home without any treatment. I left the hospital at 9.30pm, arrived in Stratford at 1.30am, exhausted and furious at such a waste of time. I’m so glad we have such a caring hospital as our local Sale hospital. Cecilia Temple, Stratford
Constitutional reform is required to adequately manage climate disasters
JO McCubbin’s letter proposal identifying the need for local and national comprehensive disaster response plans (Gippsland Times, 15/3/22) is timely given the inadequate national government responses to the recent spate of disasters. However, a coordinated local response is far more feasible than a coordinated national response. This is because the Australian Constitution has no reference to the environment on the basis the states were accountable for the environment at the time of Federation. Although over the years, the High Court has ruled that the Commonwealth has the power to invoke other heads of constitutional power to protect the environment. For example, the Whitlam and Hawke governments invoked the Federal accountability for external affairs to protect Australian sites classified as World Heritage. However, the lack of specific accountability for the environment has contributed to the lack of national leadership by successive federal governments.
This is despite the Senate Committee on Commonwealth Environment Powers (1999), recommending that the Commonwealth “exercise a leadership role in the protection and improvement of the Australian environment” until the Constitution is amended. Due to federal governments failing to display the national leadership on the environment, including national disaster management governance, each event is treated as “unprecedented” or a one in a hundred-year event. This is despite pleas from state-based bush fire and flood experts concerning the need for national planning and resourcing of disaster management due to the frequency and intensity of mega bushfires and floods. Furthermore, a recommendation from the 2020 Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements that a national disaster advisory body be established has not been implemented. As a result of the steering from a distance or the “I don’t hold a hose” approach adopted by federal governments, local organisations and volunteers are now dealing with mega natural disasters which are clearly well beyond their capacity. Given historically there has been a failure from both major parties to tackle the issue of constitutional reform necessary to adequately manage climate change, citizens should vote for the party in the forthcoming election which they consider is far more likely to rise to this challenge. Dr Jillian Carroll, Heyfield
Validity of stamp duty on vehicle insurance renewal
IS there any enlightened person out there who can justify why we must pay approximately 10 per cent Stamp Duty - in addition to 10 per cent GST - as part of any vehicle comprehensive insurance renewal?

Ninth Sale Music Festival a great success
ON behalf of the Sale Music Festival Committee, I'd like to personally thank all who contributed to making the Ninth Sale Music Festival held at the most picturesque Sale Botanic Gardens on March 13 a great success. An estimated 3000 in attendance, first-class music plus glorious weather in a beautiful environment, helped make the day a wonderful event for the whole community. So many people and local businesses and service groups contributed to the day. Sincere thanks to the Rotary Club of Sale, Sale Scout Group, Bundalaguah CWA and The Dock Expresso Bar for the provision of refreshments, as well as the Sale Girl Guides and staff from the Sale Library for the wonderful creative activities for children. Many thanks as well to the local St. John Ambulance for their attendance on the day. These were all acknowledged publicly on the day on the signage at the event, as well as by our wonderful Master of Ceremonies, Mat Cummins from Gold 1242 and TRFM. We say thank you to them all. It is such a delight to see so many families, both local and from far and wide, coming to the festival to enjoy a wonderful free event during which wonderful local talent is showcased to all in attendance.

Renewable a factor at federal election time
MEDIA reports indicate that this week's federal budget funding for gas related projects will be of considerable magnitude. It is now widely recognised that renewables are significantly undercutting fossil fuels as the world’s cheapest source of energy. The price of solar power has dropped by more than 80 per cent since 2010. Using fossil fuels to produce energy is also a prime cause of climate change. Therefore the question needs to be asked—why are the federal government still promoting using fossil fuels - coal and gas - to produce energy, and why are they pouring huge sums of money into fossil fuels? In my opinion, the answer can perhaps be found by looking at the partnership structure that exists between the Liberals and the Nationals. It is common knowledge that the Nationals have strong reasons to favour the fossil fuel industry—Barnaby Joyce has publicly made this well-known many times. Surely the federal government should be considering the wellbeing and financial health of all Australians before continuing to promote the use of expensive and climate damaging fossil fuels for energy production, and also attempting to put aside internal political aspirations that may exist within their partnership structure concerning fossil fuel use to produce energy. A federal election is due to be held in May. Brian Measday, Myrtle Bank, South Australia
Golf Club or Shotgun Premier?
IS there any comparison between a golf club designed to strike an inanimate object and a shotgun designed to kill the living? Victorians could be forgiven for wondering what kind of person leads their incumbent government because Premier Andrews says he sees little difference between the two. They might also be wondering what kind of leader puts a recreational activity involving lethal weapons ahead of the wider community's right to safety and mental health. One in four Victorians are now living in regional areas and more folks than ever are interested in enjoying our natural assets for peaceful pursuits. Less than half of one per cent of the population shoot ducks, but they have access to do so at so many thousands of public lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, reservoirs and wetlands around Victoria (often near homes and other recreational users) that no government authority has been able to estimate their number, let alone signpost or monitor them. The concern for safety around duck shooters is legitimate. Two walkers were shot by them in New Zealand just last year. So, back to the Premier’s inability to distinguish what is acceptable from unacceptable to most. We are not aware of any public polls wanting golf to be banned, or for the need for vets to be on hand to euthanise wounded golf balls.
Nor are we aware of residents needing to call police for illegal golfing causing angst to local community or destroying precious indigenous culture. And we have never heard of other recreational users finding themselves trapped unawares on a golf course due to lack of signage, and fearing for their lives. But we are aware (thanks to planning.vic.gov. au) there are 300,000 golfers sharing about 374 golf courses, a ratio which if applied to duck shooters means there would be 31 shooting waterways, not thousands. We are also aware that golfers typically fund their own recreation as opposed to being funded by unwitting taxpayers. The Premier needs to understand his birdies, and his voters, a lot more. Sue Williams Regional Victorians Opposed to Duck Shooting Inc.
Celebrating Victoria’s vibrant agriculture industry
VICTORIA’S agriculture sector is a vibrant and thriving industry, resilient to the challenges that are thrown at it, whether that be fire, floods, storms or the impacts of a global pandemic. Agriculture is worth $17.8 billion to the Victorian economy and almost one third of Australia’s total agricultural value. It is more than numbers on a spreadsheet – the more we produce and sell, the more jobs are created in local communities. The Andrews Labor government is proud to support our hard-working farmers and agribusinesses with almost $30 billion of investment in rural and regional Victoria since 2015 - four times more than the former Liberal National government. Our $115 million Agriculture Strategy identifies key projects to help the agriculture sector remain strong, innovative and sustainable now and into the future. This includes our Agriculture Energy Investment Plan supporting farmers to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs. We are also promoting Ag tech with $15 million to establish an AgTech innovation network, using our smart farms to translate cutting edge research into useful methods on farm. We are investing in agriculture colleges to support upgrades of teaching spaces and accommodation offerings so they have state-ofthe-art facilities to upskill the next generation of agriculture workers. It’s been a difficult few years for the sector – and it’s extremely disappointing that the National Party has no plan to stand up for farmers. It’s very similar to Peter Walsh’s legacy as Agriculture Minister which was one of inaction, cuts and neglect. Sadly, the latest Liberal National policy document shows nothing has changed and the Nationals are beholden to the Liberal’s agenda of cuts and privatisation. While the Opposition has produced a 40 page glossy pamphlet which fails to mention agriculture even once, we have been delivering new projects, more investment and creating opportunities for farmers to grow their businesses and expand into new markets. This year, rural and regional Victorians have a choice between a National Party that continues to neglect their interests at the expense of the Liberals’ agenda, or the Andrews Labor government, which is working side by side with regional Victorians to ensure our state remains the agricultural powerhouse of the nation. Mary-Anne Thomas, State Minister for Agriculture and Regional Development

THERE appears to be some confusion between duck shooting, recreational fishing and it would seem ... golf. Here are just a few differences to help clarify. Recreational fishing and golf does not scare landholders stock through fences onto roadways endangering lives. Recreational fishing and golf does not subject children and pets to mental anguish. Recreational fishing and golf does not kill threatened species and anything else that gets in the way. Recreational fishing and golf does not create noise pollution. Recreational fishing and golf is a peaceful activity that can allow other recreational activities to continue in harmony. Recreational fishing and golf does not destroy already fragile ecological systems. Recreational fishing and golf is easily monitored and managed by the authorities. If you enjoy roast duck for dinner perhaps you could make enquires with your local delicatessen. Elizabeth McCann, Newmerella

EARLIER this month, Australia’s newest “big” landmark, the Big Rainbow, debuted in Sydney, and is now on the lookout for its new regional home as part of the Big Rainbow Project. The Big Rainbow Project is a commitment by Tinder to support LGBTQIA+ people in regional areas, with Wellington Shire residents encouraged to nominate their town to be the site of the regional Big Rainbow. The Big Rainbow Project was developed with the help of LGBTQIA+ community advisors and consultants, alongside members of the indigenous community. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the challenges LGBTQIA+ Australians can face in regional towns, where lack of visible communities & the geographic distance from urban celebrations can contribute to isolation. Tinder will be announcing the full list of recipients alongside the regional home for the Big Rainbow landmark. Big Rainbow Project regional ambassador Nic Steepe said the 14-metre Sydney monument and the upcoming regional monument will join more than 150 “big” things across the country. “I don’t see myself in many of the other landmarks, so as someone involved in the consultation process, it was an incredible experience to see it in person as a new national landmark to celebrate inclusion,” Mr Steepe said. “Words cannot describe how fabulous it is.” Mr Steepe, who has lived in regional areas his whole life, said that while challenges for LGBTQIA+ communities remain, he’s seen positive changes. “Regional areas are inclusive, even though there may be a perspective that they’re not,” he said. “I’ve seen shifts over the last ten years around promotion of inclusion in the regions, but I think that’s about role models who are out and proud staying in the community. I wanted to run away to Oxford St in Sydney, but there is more community support now. “Biggest challenge I’d highlight is services for our communities is inclusive healthcare, doctors,

New movies heading to Sale Cine ema IT’S shaping to be a bumper week for film buffs, with the Sale Cinema playing host to three all-new releases. Headlining the trio of movies is Morbius, a superhero blockbuster from the producers of Venom. Its narrative centres on Dr Michael Morbius (Jared Leto), who finds a cure for his rare blood disease only to suffer a terrifying transformation. Much like Venom, this anti-heroic origin story is loosely inspired by the Spider-Man comics, with a traditional foe serving as the main protagonist. Fans of the Marvel films are most likely to appreciate it, as are viewers who enjoy goofy, campy fun. Second on the list is the feature-length animation The Bad Guys. Produced by DreamWorks and based on the series of children’s books by Australian writer
Aaron Blabey, it tells of a motley creew of thieves who are forced to end their villainou us ways. The movie boasts an all-star voice--cast, fantastic animation and gags that younger viiewers – or even their parents – are sure to lovee. Finally, for those wanting somethiing a bit more sedate, there’s British dramedy Thee Duke, starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren (p pictured). Broadbent plays Kempton Bunton n, a pensioner accused of stealing a priceless artwoork from London’s National Gallery, all in thee name of activism. The charming picture has already y been released in the UK, where it was met with gllowing reviews from critics and audiences. Both Broadbent and Mirren have been praised for their sublime performances, as has the screenplay that tugs at the heartstrrings. Truly, there’s a movie for everyonee to enjoy.
Inventi Ensemble’s show is out of this world GUSTAV Holst’s The Planets (pictured) is a monumental work in the classical music canon, and audiences will have a rare opportunity to hear it like it has never been heard before when it lands in the John Leslie Theatre. The orchestral suite is being performed by Inventi Ensemble, a leading force in Australian chamber music renowned for their virtuosic playing and masterful treatment of large-scale works. Inventi has crafted a unique arrangement of The Planets – what was originally conceived for symphonic orchestra will be performed by five musicians on flute, oboe, violin, viola and cello. The performance also features brand-new works by acclaimed composer Johannes Luebbers, who has a wealth of experience across a wide range of genres including classical, musical theatre and jazz. This astounding, astronomical performance is one that no classical music lover should miss. Inventi Ensemble will be performing The Planets at The Wedge this Saturday, April 2 at 8pm. GP1639404

and Australia’s links to the Irish diaspora, are also being touted as reasons to come along. “A lot of Australians have that connection with Ireland, whether they have family from there, or whether they’ve been there, or know someone that’s been there, or they just like a drink, everyone loves the Irish!” Ms Moore said. Those who attend the show can expect to see international performers direct from acclaimed productions such as Lord of the Dance and Riverdance, ensuring a level of quality that matches the world’s best. A Taste of Ireland can be seen this Sunday, April 3 at The Wedge, with the matinee showing from 4pm and the evening session beginning at 7.30pm.

FANS of all things Irish will be thrilled to learn that A Taste of Ireland is returning to The Wedge this weekend. Fusing traditional Irish music and dance with a contemporary sheen, the ever-popular production is back with brand-new sets, costumes and tunes for 2022, with theatregoers of all ages being encouraged to attend. Although the highlights of the show are many and varied, producer Ceili Moore believes the Irish dancing will particularly fascinate audiences. “It’s a very unique sport or art-form, because you have to be as pretty as a ballerina, but you also have to be as athletic as an Olympian or a footballer,” Ms Moore said. “They’re two very unique disciplines being combined together, so people do get quite enthralled at how unique the art-form is, and quite captivated.” The universal appeal of Ireland’s culture,

s you turn into the entrance of “Karrawurra”, you instantly begin to appreciate the uniqueness that this property presents. Being owned for generations by one family, this property allows an opportunity to gain access to the rich, productive soils of Glengarry that are traditionally so tightly held. Originating as a dairy farm, upon the transition to a beef fattening operation, the property saw an upgrade to its cattle handling facilities and features solid yards and loading area, coupled with machinery shedding and three-phase power. With 50ha plus Crown Lease, this prime acreage incorporates three water ways, ensuring water security, coupled with idyllic views. At its south-east boundary, the property overlooks the meeting place of the Eaglehawk Creek and the Latrobe River, a spectacular sight to behold. The river flats provide those rich, alluvial soils that the Latrobe floodplain is renowned for, yet the farm features plenty of high ground in the event of a flood to ensure stock safety. A flood irrigation setup is in place on the farm, with a series of sluice gates formed to shift water to desired areas. There is a permanent water right with the property available to purchase upon negotiation. "Karrawurra" beholds a very solid brick home, perched on a rise overlooking the sensational wetland fed by Yorkies Gully. This four bedroom home, with master suite and built-in robes offers space, light and views to its residents. Open plan kitchen and dining room flows through to a front balcony to enjoy the wetland views and sunlight, a perfect spot for breakfast or an evening wind down. Underneath is a solid two-car garage.

Livestock agent fined
Rural news to tell?
A GIPPSLAND livestock agent and producer has been convicted and fined $20,300 plus additional costs of $220.80 for actions which had the potential to undermine Victoria’s livestock traceability system. Nathan Gibbon, an agent at Pakenham and director of Clayton Hill Pty Ltd, pleaded guilty to a number of charges at Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court on March 16. This included the use of disbanded property identification codes, failing to properly record livestock movement information, not keeping copies of National Vendor Declarations and failing to produce documents. The company, Clayton Hill Pty Ltd, was fined $1,100 without conviction. When handing down the sentence, Magistrate Wallington noted that these offences were a systematic flouting of the system carried out in a deliberate and obvious way to increase profits. Gippsland producers, Kristian Bingham from Warragul and Peter Armstrong from Darnum also pleaded guilty to charges relating to livestock traceability offences including misusing National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) ear tags. Mr Armstrong was convicted and fined $6300 plus costs of $494, and Mr Bingham was fined $7000 without conviction plus costs of $198.06.

Typical farm dam – recommended inspection and monitoring sites. bank should have good cover of topsoil and be well grassed. “The dam spillway needs to be level, flat and stable with adequate capacity to handle major storm events.” The last part of the inspection is a thorough inspection immediately downstream of the dam wall looking for signs of seepage, tunnelling or erosion commonly indicated by wet, boggy areas or excessive vegetation. “A one metre x 12mm steel probe makes a useful tool for checking the condition of dam walls and for locating wet patches downstream,” Mr Sturmfels said. Landholders should contact their local Water Authority and Council Planning Officer prior to undertaking repairs or maintenance activities. For further information on managing dams visit the Agriculture Victoria website agriculture.vic. gov.au/farm-management/water/managing-dams.

FARMERS are encouraged to undertake a detailed inspection of their dams, following significant storm and flood events in recent months. Agriculture Victoria farm water supply specialist Clem Sturmfels said the risk of dam failure has increased significantly, due to the rapid rise in dam water levels, overtopping of dam walls and blocked spillways. Mr Sturmfels encouraged landholders to inspect and monitor their gully dams on a regular basis to look for signs of bank subsidence, cracking, leaks and/or tunnelling. “Landholders should also check dam spillways and outlet pipes to ensure they have ample capacity and are free of sediment, debris and excessive vegetation,” he said. “Gully dams are of particular concern as much of the water is stored above ground level and held back by an earthen bank.” The sudden failure of a gully dam can pose a major safety issue to individuals and communities downstream, as well as resulting in the loss of the water and added cost of repairs. Mr Sturmfels recommends taking a systematic approach when undertaking a dam inspection. “Start by walking around the waterline looking for signs of damage. I usually commence my inspection at the dam inlet checking for signs of undermining or collapse, making sure the dam excavation is completely covered with water when the dam is full,” he said. “Take careful note of the water itself, look for signs of discolouration or small whirlpools that may indicate tunnelling or leakage through the dam wall. Then move on to the dam wall itself checking the crest, upstream and downstream faces. “The bank crest should have a well-rounded top to avoid ponding and be at least one metre above the dam’s full supply level. “The faces of the dam wall should be gently sloping and free of erosion.

An Absolute focus on best available Angus genetics in our region. This ensures the cow holds up well when she is raising her calf.” Starting out with four females from the Vermont dispersal in 2010, and adding maternal genetics from Te Mania, Forest, Landfall and Kenny’s Creek, Anthony has stepped up production in the past four years, increasing numbers from 120 females and moving to regular auctions. “I was selling bulls privately so with all the genetics coming through it seemed like the right move.” Anthony said. And the move could not have been better timed, with the seasonal conditions and beef cattle industry flourishing in the past two years. “We have had a fantastic season, the commercial producers are making great returns for weaners and the industry is looking amazing and will continue to grow,” Anthony said. “When it comes to the Angus breed, farmers are becoming more confident with the meat quality - I think it is second to none - and how diversified and versatile this breed can be.” Absolute Angus will host its second annual autumn bull sale from 1pm on Thursday, April 7 on-property at 292 Trafalgar South Road, Trafalgar South, Victoria. Inspections will start from 11am and the sale will be integrated with AuctionsPlus. Visit www.absoluteangus.com.au for more information.
allrounder” when it comes to progeny in the sale. “They are so quiet, and not only do they look good they have the figures that come with it as well - but they are also nice thick in the bum bulls with lots of depth, they keep their heads up high and have a beautiful smooth body, and they are even all the way through,” Anthony said. “With New Ground you can put him over anything, and a perfect calf comes out.” And with New Ground’s estimated breeding values it is no wonder his sons are impressing at Absolute. The sire’s growth figures are all in the Top 10 per cent of the breed, with docility and scrotal in the Top 1 per cent, and rib fat in the Top 4 per cent.

Maffra’s title win MAFFRA Under 18 Boys went through the Country Victoria Country Championships held in Ballarat undefeated to come away with the Division 3 title. On day one the Eagles played Melton for a close 36-29 win followed by a 65-34 win over Myrtleford qualifying them for Division 3. Sunday meant knock-out finals beginning with the quarter-final versus Bacchus Marsh where Maffra won 67-37. In the semi-final, a slow start against Yarrawonga meant the boys had to pick up their game in the second half and ran away with a 46-37 win.
The grand final was against fellow Gippsland side Korumburra. The match was close all game, but the Eagles proved to strong in the end and ran out 54-40 winners. Top scorers in the grand final were Ryan Beale (15), Jett Killoran (12) and Will Ross (10). The Under 16 Girls also played over the weekend and had a good first day of competition winning two from four games over Terang and Moe with a close loss to Surfcoast meaning they went into Division 4. In the quarter-final on Sunday, the girls went down to Wallan 31-20 in a game that was close until the final few minutes.
BOISDALE chaser Dot’s Delight landed the biggest success of her young career with a dominant victory in the McKenzie Cleaning and Maintenance Maiden Final (440m) at the Sale Greyhounds on Sunday. The talented daughter of Aston Dee Bee turned the final into a one-act affair as she jumped straight to the front from box seven and never looked back. Dot’s Delight ($3.20fav) strolled home by a commanding 4 ½ length margin in a good time of 25.04 seconds. The win was the second from five starts for the Dawn Johnston-trained chaser. Three heats of the GRV Vic Bred Series for restricted win greyhounds were run and won. A rare dead heat in the third heat proved the talking point. Shake and Treble ($2.10fav) and Dr Dean ($14.30) could not be split by the judge after each running 25.25 seconds, with the top two purses
shared between respective trainers Andrew Paraskevas and Kimberley McMahon. The previous two heats were won by the favourites. Stromboli ($1.60fav) led all the way in the opening heat for Avalon trainer Jordan McQuillen, stopping the clock in 25.04 seconds. Those who steamed into the $1.30 on offer for High End needed a stiff drink after he staved off plucky Darriman chaser Dr Boone by a halflength in the second heat. It proved the quickest of the three heats as High End, trained by Peter Presutto at Devon Meadows, stopped the clock in 24.92 seconds. Elmo Rose won the 10th race of his career for Rosedale trainer Jeff Chignell in the Kasmic Cupcakes Mixed 3/4 (440m). Other winners on the program were as follows: Roman Hook (Charlie Galea), Indiana Phones (Ben Joske), Thylacine (Maria Barber), Lakeview Lola (Monique Whelan), Rip Off Roslyn (Elaine Johansen), Bernadette (William McMahon) and Extreme Harriet (Jodie Selleck, Tooradin).
Race the Rubeena this Sunday ONE of the regions most beloved public sporting events is just a few days away and promises to be bigger and even more fun this year. The Rotary Race the Rubeena, which takes place on Sunday, April 3, pits runners against the 110-year-old Rubeena with runners making their way to the Port of Sale on the canal path, while the boat does its best to keep up on the water. “We’re excited by what this year might bring in terms of numbers,” race director Gerard Callinan said. “This is our fourth running of the event with each year seeing a larger number than the previous one, so, who knows, maybe we can crack the 400 this year. “We actually have two events, a 10-kilometre run starting at 7.30 at the Port of Sale, and the Rotary Race the Rubeena 5km, starting at 9.00am at the Longford Swing Bridge. All entrants for the 5km are bussed to the Swing Bridge from Race HQ at the Port of Sale. Once at the bridge and assembled, Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye will drop the flag for the race to start. “It attracts all sorts of people, from the family that use it as a stroll with the kids to the serious speedster who is out to claim a personal best and bragging rights over a mate,” Callinan said. The day will also see a community festival, starting at 10am at the Port of Sale celebrating the

Drop Kicks defeated
Basketball ace earns Victoria Country call-up
Laurie Smyth
LONGFORD Trailer Hire have achieved what no other team could in this season’s Touch competition – they defeated the highly fancied Drop Kicks 8-4. At half-time they led 4-2, with the same score repeated in the second half. The Drop Kicks would have gone into the game a likely winner as they have many fast and talented players, however as Longford were without Ren Crunden-Smith, Kyle Grummisch and Oscar Crunden-Smith resulting in several players stepping up to the plate and playing their best game of the season. Youngsters Brysen Nottle and Brodie Towers set the standard and were ably supported by Jack Neal, Mason Annear and Sammy Churches. The first score for the night came when the Drop Kicks Leigh Taiapa weaved his way through the pack to put the ball down. Longford’s Brodie Tower replied with Jack Neal and Brysen Nottle adding to the score line. Henry Ropeti then made a classy try just before the main break. Towers made the first try in the second half with Taiapa replying for The Drop Kicks. Jack Neal added one with Towers adding two

more to take Longford’s tally to eight. The Drop Kicks’ Andrew Campbell scored one to take the score to four.

Phoenix made the Panthers earn every try they made. At half-time the Pink Panthers led 4-3, however in the second half they added four more to Phoenix two for an 8-5 win. Simon Driessen top scored for the Panthers with three tries. Jason Edwards and Albert Van de Vyver each added two with Skute making one. Kyung Stewart was Phoenix top scorer with three and Kerry Shotter scored two. Shotter has played a brilliant attacking game for the past three games. His determination has enabled him to score in each game that he has played. Best players were Driessen, Stewart, Edwards, Kate Laskowski and Ursula Barnsley with Marinda Laskowski winning the encouragement award. The Drop Kicks remain on top of the ladder with 22 points and 215.6 per cent followed by Longford Trailer Hire 22 & 159.5, Pink Panthers 15 & 106.8, Mustangs 13 & 72.6, Poky’s 11 & 72.9 and Phoenix 10 and 61.3. Tomorrow night’s games at 6.30pm Phoenix play Porky’s [referee Mustangs] and The Drop Kicks play Pink Panthers [referee Longford]. At 7.20pm Mustangs plays Longford Trailer Hire [referee Phoenix].

ROWERS AT THE NATIONALS Gippsland Grammar rowers Billy Osborne, Lindsay Hamilton and Cameron Rule pictured polishing their boat ahead of the Rowing Australia National titles this week. GIPPSLAND Grammar rowers put finishing touches to their strokes and polish their boats as they prepare for the Rowing Australia National Championships being held on Lake Nagambie this week. Four local crews are in the Goulburn Valley for
the regatta which began yesterday and will run until Sunday, April 3. It was due to be held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC), but was relocated to the Victorian course because of water contamination issues occurring as a result of the recent floods in
New South Wales. Gippsland Grammar’s Year 12 students Lindsay Hamilton and Billy Osborne won gold at last year’s national event held in Tasmania. They hold the Under-19 Men’s Double Scull gold and have a good chance of bringing home the silverware again.

Gippsland Grammar rowing director Nick Bartlett said the school had good chances of medals in the women’s Under-17 double, the schoolboy quad, the men’s Under-19 double and the men’s Under-19 quad. The entire event will be livestreamed.
