WILDCATS INTO FINAL FIVE SPORT

A BRIAGOLONG teen who has been in the saddle for three years is about to take on the world, when he heads to Brazil this month for the Global Youth Cup in reining.

Jhi Watts relocated from Queensland to take up the western horsemanship discipline under the expert tuition of his uncle and champion reining rider Shane Watts.

The 17-year-old has been hand-picked to represent Australia after starting out in the sport only two years ago, and is already at the top of his game.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I’m being calm about it, I will go there and have fun. I will be competing against the best youth riders in the world,” Jhi said.

“I love the temperament of the horses and the people

in the industry, they are supportive and friendly.”

Reining originated in the US from working cattle, where a rider guides their horse through a precise pattern of circles, spins, and sliding stops.

The discipline is often described as a western form of dressage, in which competitors complete a set pattern of movements.

“The judge is looking for correct manoeuvres in a horse who is willingly guided. Blaze is quiet, talented, friendly and very forgiving,” Jhi said.

“We teach the horse how to be soft in the bridle and engage in the hind-end. We teach them to spin on the spot and run into a sliding stop, and go from fast circles to slow circles and flying changes.”

Jhi won this year’s non-pro three-year-old futurity at the state championships on his bay quarterhorse stallion Electric Gun - or Blaze - who had his first start this year.

But the gun rider will be taking part in the world

championships on a local horse he has never met before, drawn out of a hat.

“Riding a horse you have never ridden before can be hit-or-miss because I won’t know its temperament or what he could do,” Jhi said.

“We will have a couple of days to ride the horse and then go and out and show. It will be one round for the show, so I will be going over there for five minutes.”

Jhi will be heading over with his uncle, and hopes to check out some of the ‘best in the biz’ in Texas after his competition.

He said, ultimately, he would like to head to the US to show, and end up running his own yard, breeding and training horses.

“It’s all about the showmanship, the crowds hype it up a lot, it’s good to have a big crowd that’s supportive.

“But reining is not real big in Australia like it is in America, they have more prize money.”

No bark, no bite (or fine)

WITH more people working from home, Wellington Shire Council is asking pet owners to ensure their dogs are not barking excessively, following an increase in complaints.

While noisy hounds may have gone unnoticed when people worked on-site, council is receiving more complaints about barking dogs from ratepayers.

Wellington Shire Council Mayor Ian Bye said excessive barking by dogs was one of the main sources of conflict between neighbours.

“Dog owners just might not realise that their pet is causing too much noise, as the barking may only happen while they are out,” Cr Bye said.

“At the moment we’ve got a lot of people working from home and it means excessive barking is getting noticed more often, so there are a few simple things we ask people to do to make sure it doesn’t become a big problem between neighbours.”

While barking is a natural behaviour for dogs, pet owners must ensure their dogs do not annoy neighbours by barking excessively.

“There are many reasons a dog might bark excessively - it might be due to boredom, or it could be behavioural problems, or even just someone walking past the property,” Cr Bye said.

“The important thing is that as a pet owner, you try to work out what exactly is causing your dog to bark and then take the steps to make sure it’s not causing an issue for your neighbours.”

Some solutions to excessive barking might include spending more time with your dog outside the yard, providing it with toys and shelter, blocking the view beyond the property fence, or obedience training.

Cr Bye said it was equally important that if neighbours were affected by excessive barking noise, they try to resolve the issue with the dog owner.

If neighbours cannot resolve the issue, people can lodge a complaint form with council.

WorkSafe truck safety

WORKSAFE is urging transport companies to ensure the safety of their workers after a spate of truck industry deaths in the state this year, including two in Gippsland.

It comes after a 29-year-old diesel mechanic died after he was run over while working underneath a B-double trailer in Werribee South earlier last month.

This was the ninth workplace fatality involving loading, unloading or working around trucks in the past 12 months and the fifth this year.

A 55-year-old Cowarr worker died in July after he was crushed between a tip truck and front end loader while unloading grain pellets at a property.

A 60-year-old driver died in hospital in January after suffering severe head injuries when he fell

from the top of a truck at a grain depot in Maffra.

WorkSafe health and safety executive director Narelle Beer urged employers to check their safety processes to reduce hazards around loading and unloading trucks.

“Whether trucks are making deliveries to a construction site, on a farm, or manoeuvring around a depot, wherever trucks are operating employers must take all reasonable steps to maintain a safe workplace,” Dr Beer said.

“The risks of becoming trapped, being crushed or falling from heights need to be taken very seriously.

“We’ve also seen a number of incidents where workplaces did not have adequate traffic management plans in place to reduce the risks from moving trucks, plant or nearby traffic, resulting

in serious injuries.”

Dr Beer warned that WorkSafe would not hesitate to prosecute employers that failed to provide a safe workplace, and penalties included significant fines, and potentially jail.

Concrete manufacturer Dandy Premix Concrete was convicted and fined $120,000 in May after a worker was run over by a truck and seriously injured at its Pakenham plant in 2018.

WorkSafe has been targeting heavy vehicles in all industries.

Inspectors have been visiting workplaces focusing on loading and unloading, preventing falls from vehicles, objects falling, vehicle roll-aways and being hit by other vehicles, forklifts or animals.

RAAF ‘Golf Ball’ is coming to an end after 34 years OBVIOUSLY quite a few locals read the media alert issued recently to advise that there would be some loud noise from flypasts by two E/A-18G Growlers from Amberley.

There were about 126 cars parked near Cobains Road, with people wanting to get a closer look.

RAAF NEWS

No 53 Mission Aircrew Course Graduation ON Thursday, July 21 2022, the Air Mission Training School (AMTS) located at RAAF Base East Sale, held its Graduation Parade for No 53 Mission Aircrew Course.

The five graduates from No 53 Mission Aircrew Course have undergone up to 12 months of extensive aviation training, and have successfully graduated as winged Mission Aircrew, taking the number of Air Mission Training School Graduates to a total of 1539 from six nations since its inception in 1946.

The Graduation Parade made a memorable day for the five graduates and their families, with the Commander Air Mobility Group, Air Commodore Carl Newman, attending as the

Aircraft Surveillance Radar visible along Longford-Loch Sport Rd. Reviewing Officer.

The Graduation Parade also included a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, which was conducted by Aunty Sandra Patten from the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation, as well as low-level flypasts of two Royal Australian Air Force EA-18G Growler aircraft from No 6 Squadron.

Commanding Officer Air Mission Training School Wing

Commander Arran Moore congratulated the graduates on their achievements saying: “What these five graduates have achieved over the last 12 months of training is remarkable. They have progressed from their initial officer training, to being able to plan, command and manage complex airborne missions across a broad spectrum of operations. The resilience these five have shown both in their training, and also against the backdrop of COVID-19 and lockdowns is testament to their strength of character and will position them well for future success in their careers. All the staff at AMTS are proud to have instructed them through their training and join with their friends and family in congratulating the graduates on their achievements. I’d also like to take the opportunity to thank the Sale community for the continued support they provide the base, its staff and students - without the continued strong support of our community, we wouldn’t be able to graduate the quality of students that we do.”

Three of the graduates will

They will continue to learn a number of mission sets including Anti-submarine Warfare, Search and Rescue, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance and direct Support to Naval assets among others.

The remaining two graduates will proceed on to fast jet training, initially at No 76 Squadron, at RAAF Base Williamtown, near Newcastle, flying the Hawk 127.

Following their time at No 76 Squadron, the graduates will become Weapon Systems Officers (WSO) on the

F/A-18F Super Hornet or the E/A-18G Growler at RAAF Base Amberley, outside Brisbane.

Removal of ‘Golf Ball’ Aircraft Surveillance Radar near Longford AIR Force is installing nine new ASR-NG Fixed Defence Air Traffic Control Surveillance Sensors (FDATCSS) at various Australian locations for its AIR5431 Phase 2 Program.

For RAAF Base East Sale, this means replacing the prominent ‘golf ball’ shaped Aircraft Surveillance Radar installed 34 years ago at Dutson, to maintain safe air

passage of military and civil aircraft within the Gippsland Region.

The 18-metre-high tower with its 15-metre-diameter radome or ‘golf ball’ is scheduled for decommissioning in September.

A temporary sensor is already in place for RAAF Base East Sale, and will remain until third quarter 2023 when the new FDATCSS installation is complete.

The FDATCSS will improve national air traffic management and collaboration between Department of Defence and Airservices Australia.

Forest bureaucracy ‘politicised’ Phillio Hopkins THE Andrews Government’s treatment of the native forest industry shows why the Ombudsman’s investigation of the politicisation of the public service is so necessary, according to Narracan MP Gary Blackwood.

The Ombudsman announced the investigation in May after the Legislative Council in February passed a motion on various matters, including ‘the politicisation of the public service’.

The first part of the investigation on the ‘Red Shirts scheme’ has just been completed, but Part 2, ‘covering other matters’, is being undertaken by Professor John McMillan AO. Professor McMillan is a past Commonwealth Ombudsman, has never worked in Victoria and “brings an open mind to the issues under investigation”, the Victorian Ombudsman said.

Mr Blackwood, the Opposition’s forestry spokesman, said the native forest industry had borne the brunt of the impact of decisions taken and lack of action by the Environment Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio and her department.

“The culture of her department has been underpinned by political appointments facilitated by (former Environment Minister) Gavin Jennings before his retirement,” he said.

Earlier this year, The Weekly Times reported that DJPR Forestry and Climate Change policy and regulation director Nathan Lambert was the ALP’s former assistant national secretary, and a member of its Geelong West branch as of late last year. DJPR is the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.

Last December, Mr Lambert gained preselection as the ALP’s candidate for Preston, an electorate that Labor is fighting to defend against the Greens.

The native forest industry and the formation of

a new Great Forests National Park are set to be key issues.

The Weekly Times also reported that the current DELWP forest policy director, Lindsay Rayner, was another long-term ALP member, joining the Northcote branch in 2003 and moving to the Reservoir branch, which is within the Preston electorate. He was a forestry adviser to Mr Jennings, and now The Times believes, one of the government’s gatekeepers on forestry issues.

As well, the newspaper reported, the former head of DJPR’s Forest Industry Strategy group, Tim Sonnreich, who held the position from December 2018 to April 2020, was a long-time active member of the ALP’s Brunswick branch and now worked as Ms D’Ambrosio’s chief of staff.

“The Weekly Times is not suggesting any of these department staff have behaved inappropriately,” the newspaper said.

A Victorian government spokesman told The

Times that “all appointments, including executives, were based on merit and in line with the Public Administration Act 2004”.

“All employees have an obligation under the Code of Conduct to remain impartial and apolitical in the course of their work,” the spokesman said.

Mr Blackwood said these public service issues were compounded by the relationship between Ms D’Ambrosio’s office and environmental activists.

“Minister D’Ambrosio has provided an ‘open door’ policy in her association with the Wilderness Society, pseudoscientists and others who share her agenda of ending native timber harvesting,” he said.

Mr Blackwood said this policy would trash thousands of jobs, starve the construction industry of vital supplies and promote the importation of timber products from unsustainable overseas sources.

“It is an absolute disgrace,” he said.

Victorian economy is leading the nation Victoria has led the nation in new jobs since September 2020 with nearly 350,000 jobs created - outstripping all other Australian states.

Retail spending in Victoria was up by more than any other state in the March quarter relative to decade-average levels, the CommSec report found, driven by a solid job market, low interest rates and strong building activity.

Victoria also led the nation for annual growth of retail trade - up 6.9 per cent.

The finding is consistent with ABS figures released last month that showed Victorian State Final Demand soared by 2.4 per cent in the March quarter - the best performance of all the states on the key measure of economic activity and twice the level of New South Wales.

Acting Treasurer Danny Pearson said the report made for great reading.

“We’re leading the nation with strong jobs growth, buoyant retail spending and construction activity that delivers benefits across the state,” he said.

“We backed businesses and workers during the pandemic and the result is an economy that has rebounded strongly and provides great confidence for the future.”

Victoria scored highly in the CommSec report on construction work done, and was the only state to record an increase in construction activity in the first three months of the year, with other states and territories posting falls in work done during this period.

Victoria’s infrastructure program under the

Labor Government has supported more than 190,000 jobs, and is forecast to average more than $21 billion annually over the next four years.

The government has fast-tracked shovel ready construction projects across the state, delivering investment and supporting continued economic growth.

More than $9.2 billion in development investment was approved over the past two years to keep Victoria growing, with the Development Facilitation Program targeting priority projects.

The state government invested more than $44 billion to protect the health and wellbeing of Victorians during the pandemic, including an unprecedented $13 billion in business support.

VICTORIA’S economy is the best performing in the nation overall, including leading all states and territories on relative unemployment and retail trade, according to the CommSec State of the States Report released last week.

Victoria has the strongest jobs market, the quarterly report found, following recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures revealing the state’s unemployment rate is at a near 50-year low of 3.2 per cent.

The report reinforces this month’s ABS jobs results which confirmed Victoria delivered the biggest jobs growth of all the states in June, with more than 28,000 new jobs, boosting the total number of Victorians in work to a record high of more than 3.54 million

Call to fund key projects FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has sought urgent action concerning several critically important projects in Gippsland, challenging the Prime Minister to prove he will govern for all Australians.

In Parliament last week, Mr Chester raised points regarding the status of regional manufacturing projects that the previous federal government announced.

Mr Chester shared his concerns that political games and partisan politics were putting local jobs at risk.

“Prior to the election, I announced three major manufacturing projects in Gippsland, the Energy from Waste project at the Maryvale Mill, the indoor barramundi farm at Maryvale Mill associated with MainStream Aquaculture, and improved capabilities at Patties Foods in Bairnsdale,” Mr Chester said.

“These projects were a combined investment of over $80 million for Gippsland and vital for longterm sustainable jobs in regions like the Latrobe Valley, which will go through a major transition over the next couple of decades.

“The previous federal government was prepared to put funding on the table to ensure the investments came forward and provided an opportunity to work in partnership with private industry.”

Mr Chester said the projects help in boosting local jobs, reduce costs and make businesses more sustainable.

“The projects at Maryvale Mill are critically important, not only for the mill employees but also for new opportunities and an expanded workforce,” he said.

“Patties Foods in Bairnsdale is the world’s largest savoury pie factory and has grown from a small family business to an international one in the past 50 years.

“Investing in improved robotics will help with the production of the range of goods including, pies and sausage rolls as the company continues to grow and provide goods all over the world.”

Mr Chester had already written to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese regarding the funding of the projects before attending Parliament last week.

“I have written and received a response from the Prime Minister regarding the projects and was

“The new Prime Minister has made a lot of claims about governing for all Australians, including the regions; now we will see whether he is fair

dinkum or not. I urge the Prime Minister and his government to do the right thing and support these projects, which have already been through a rigorous process and will support Gippsland jobs and families for years to come.”

EPA Victoria has fined East Gippsland Water more than $9000 over a discharge of more than 30 million litres of wastewater into Macleod Morass in April 2022.

The wastewater was discharged from the Bairnsdale Wastewater Treatment Plant following wet weather.

EPA Gippsland Regional Manager Jessica Bandiera said while Macleod Morass is a wetland that naturally filters water and would likely have absorbed any bacterial pollution before it could reach the Gippsland Lakes, the wastewater did not meet the conditions of the facility’s EPA licence.

“An EPA licence to operate is not just open slather, it is a tool we use to apply stringent, enforceable environmental conditions to the way the business or facility is run,” Ms Bandiera said.

“The licence is designed to recognise that there can be extreme weather but does not make it an excuse to pollute.”

EPA authorised officers attended the water treatment plant on April 4 2022.

The officers conducted on-site testing and took samples for laboratory analysis, which showed the water leaving the treatment plant did not meet the required wastewater standard for the discharge to occur.

A spokesperson for East Gippsland Water told the Gippsland Times said they were looking at the matter in earnest.

“This was in relation to an uncontrolled discharge of wastewater following a storm event in April, with Bairnsdale receiving over 117mm of rain for the month,” the spokesperson said.

“We are taking this matter very seriously.”

The EPA said the fine of $9087 was for the unlawful deposit of wastewater into Macleod Morass under Section 115(4) of the Environment Protection Act 2017.

Under the Environment Protection Act (2017) and the Infringements Act (2006), the operator has the right to have the infringement notice reviewed or be considered by a court.

GIPPSLAND secondary students had the opportunity to dream big at last Tuesday’s JobSkills Expo 2022 at Lardner Park, with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) presenting an opportunity to be a part of one of Victoria’s biggest infrastructure projects, the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL).

Students had the chance to meet senior SRLA staff and current members of the SRLA Graduate Program as they considered their future careers.

The state government said construction of SRL East from Cheltenham to Box Hill was now underway, creating career opportunities in construction, engineering, planning, environmental science and communications, to name a few.

Victorian apprentices, trainees and cadets will undertake around 14 per cent of total hours on the first phase of construction, with further

opportunities for women, Aboriginal and disadvantaged Victorians.

SRLA director, Land Planning and Environment, Lissa van Camp, said “with a massive pipeline of jobs ahead, we’re already seeing the next generation of skilled workers start their career on SRL and take up the outstanding opportunities for apprentices, trainees and cadets”.

In a media release, the state government said that Gippsland residents will be the first regional Victorians to benefit from SRL, with SRL East open by 2035.

The SRL station at Clayton will become a transport superhub, giving passengers faster and easier access Melbourne’s suburbs without having to travel through the CBD. Deputy Premier and Minister for Suburban Rail Loop Jacinta Allan said the SRL will enable faster travel between Melbourne and Gippsland.

“Suburban Rail Loop will deliver enormous benefits for Gippsland as soon as SRL East is open”, Ms Allan said.

“The transport super hub at Clayton will provide a quick and easy interchange and will make travelling between Melbourne and Gippsland faster and more convenient.”

For Gippsland students, SRL East will offer direct connections to Monash and Deakin Universities, and Box Hill Institute. A public transport trip from Traralgon to Box Hill Institute will be 26 minutes faster - about the same time as driving.

The news was welcomed by Member for Eastern Victoria and Minister for Regional Development Harriet Shing.

“Suburban Rail Loop will better connect local residents and businesses along the Gippsland corridor to more jobs, health care and education across Melbourne”, she said.

Menu from the Skull and Crossbones Ball, which Mrs Moulton and Mrs Millar were on the organising committee for.

“We had so much fun making up all the decorations and costumes.”

“And we did sing some naughty songs; we were quite naughty back then,” chuckled Mrs Millar.

Dear old friends, the pair flicked through photo albums on the dining table, reliving the experiences from past Maffra Lioness Club events.

These days, the Maffra Lioness Club focuses on more service-type work, with their frolicsome

years behind them, mostly.

“We do a bit more service work these years, such as visiting the aged,” Mrs Moulton laughed.

“The aged says me.”

“And selling miles of raffle tickets, we would have sold thousands upon thousands of raffle tickets over the years.”

Over the past 12 months, Mrs Millar and Mrs Moulton have helped the Maffra Lioness Club donate $1000 to the Maffra Municipal Band for new yellow jackets, held an Op Shop Fashion Parade and High Tea, with Maffra Secondary College students helping to serve the afternoon tea and model outfits, and host ‘A Pleasant Afternoon Tea’ donating proceeds to the Maffra Cemetery Trust for more seating around the cemetery.

Mrs Millar and Mrs Moulton helped the Maffra Lioness Club pack 20 bags with period and hygiene products for Share the Dignity’s ‘It’s in the Bag’ campaign, supporting women experiencing period poverty and much more.

Maffra Lioness Club President Fay Anderson said Gwenda and Maureen were highly valued ladies and members of the club.

“Gwenda Millar and Maureen Moulton are very valued ladies, who have now given over 50 years of dedicated service to the Maffra Lioness Club,” Mrs Anderson said.

“They still play a big part in our fundraising activities, raising thousands of dollars for local Maffra causes.

“They are an inspiration to our members who follow our Lions Motto, ‘We Serve’.”

With no indications of slowing down, Mrs Millar, almost 85, and Mrs Moulton, nearly 82, are hoping for many more years of service.

MAFFRA Lionesses, Gwenda Millar and Maureen Moulton were recently awarded medals and certificates in appreciation of their achievements for 50 years of service with the Maffra Lioness Club.

In March 1970, wives and partners of the Maffra Lions Club formed the Lions Ladies Auxiliary with Judy Pentland as the inaugural president, Jillian Johnstone as secretary and Heather Ollier as treasurer.

Maureen Moulton joined the Lions Ladies Auxiliary in 1971, followed by Gwenda Millar just a few months later, with whom the two would become dear friends.

In May 1985, the Lions Ladies Auxiliary became autonomous from the Maffra Lions Club, forming the service club still running today, the Maffra Lioness Club.

The Maffra Lioness Club held its inaugural annual general meeting in July 1985, with Mrs Phyll Vardy as club president, Mrs Beryl Wynne as secretary, Mrs Rose Langley as treasurer, and a total of 24 members on charter.

While the Maffra Lioness Club had become an independent service club; they continued to work closely with the men at Maffra Lions Club, appointing Mr Lindsay Wigg as the first Maffra Lions liaison officer.

“We had a very nice relationship with the men,” Mrs Moulton said.

“They never really went against us in the last 50 odd years.”

“They just did what we told them to do,” chuckled Mrs Millar.

In early July, Gwenda Millar and Maureen Moulton were commended for their dedication to the Maffra Lioness Club, receiving framed certificates and medals for 50 years of service from Past District Governor and Lions Council Chairman Steve Boyce.

Over the past 50 years, Mrs Moulton has been Maffra Lioness Club president seven times, treasurer twice, in addition to multiple terms as vice president, assistant treasurer, assistant secretary and property steward.

While Mrs Miller has declined all offers of a formal office role, she has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for over 50 years, and holds the highest attendance percentage of all current Maffra Lionesses, having missed only three meetings.

“The same day I came out of hospital after giving birth to Leonnie (youngest daughter), I went to a Maffra Lionesses morning coffee,” Mrs Millar exclaimed.

“It was the first time we had entered the Mardi Gra, so we were all into the fundraising morning coffees.

“I came out of the hospital, and I got my husband Jim (deceased) to drop me off at the morning coffee with my little newborn baby,” Mrs Millar chuckled as she told the story.

“She got passed around the group like a pass-the-parcel.”

Mrs Millar has been Maffra Lioness Club’s meeting hostess and on every Meals on Wheels roster.

Maureen and Gwenda were on most of the organising committees for Lions’ Balls, and agreed that the balls and banquets were highlights in their 50 years at the club.

“We had big banquets that we catered for, didn’t we,” said Mrs Millar. “We had banquets and cabaret balls and all sorts of things,” added Mrs Moulton.

“The First Fleeters cabaret ball was a wonderful night.”

“Another one we did was the Buccaneers Banquet; that was fantastic,” Mrs Miller said.

“Oh yes, the Buccaneers Banquet was a fabulous night,” Mrs Moulton said.

Local views on rehab of mines

!" % # # ' ! ' ($

ENERGY giant AGL has published the findings of a community perception study into the potential rehabilitation options for Loy Yang A and Latrobe Valley mine sites.

The report titled ‘Final Mine Void Forms, and Water Uses: Researching the Community Perspective’ handed down three key recommendation on mine rehabilitation.

It included taking into account costs, resources, impacts, feasibilities and timelines, with these options to be reviewed and recommended by a panel of independent qualified assessors.

These recommendations should include concerns and the diversity of views, and then be presented to the community for public feedback.

Community views should then be incorporated into the process of mine rehabilitation, with the voices of young people and Traditional Owners to be at the forefront of these discussions.

The report was commissioned by AGL and undertaken by Federation University, to consult with the local community on end use for the sites when Loy Yang A closes.

Loy Yang general manager Christo van Niekerk said the report was an important part of gauging community views on water, land use and mine

GIPPSLAND Primary Health Network (PHN) has received federal government funding to commission service providers to deliver aged care support in Gippsland from January 2023.

The care finder program is a government initiative in response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, aiming to connect and engage older people who experience significant difficulty accessing aged care services and supports.

Gippsland PHN wants the Gippsland community to help shape services for older people.

Acting chief executive officer, Angela Jacob, said 25 per cent of people across the region were 65-years or older, and that group was growing fast.

“Some people really struggle to access services and supports through My Aged Care or in the community, when they need them,” Mrs Jacob said.

“This can be due to many complicated factors like homelessness, issues with mental health, isolation or bad experiences in the past.

“While Gippsland PHN is learning more about what is required in Gippsland to ensure services meet community needs, we want to hear from interested professionals, consumers, carers, family members and others in the community.”

Gippsland PHN has launched a short survey for people to complete by Sunday, August 14 2022.

The Royal Commission informed the upgrade in funding and mental health services to improve Victoria’s Mental Health System.

This is supported by service providers, clinicians and the community following extensive consultations.

Gippsland PHN chief executive, Amanda Proposch, said the programs were delivered to meet the needs and improve the overall health and wellbeing of people living in Gippsland.

“We recognise the seriousness of mental health in our community and we are committed to ensuring people can access the most appropriate services for their mental health needs at any given time,” she said.

“Including the ability to step up and step down to different levels of care as they move along their recovery journey.

“Researchers interviewed and surveyed a broad range of community members to understand their views on the best use of land and water following the eventual closure of the Loy Yang A Power Station,” Mr Van Niekerk said.

“While the report focuses on understanding community perception rather than detailing plans, this helps us make sure we’re considering the local residents and Traditional Owners in future decision making.

“I’d like to thank the Gippsland community for taking the time to participate in the interviews, surveys and focus groups and for offering their perspectives.”

Federation University project lead Jess Reeves said people liked being given a voice.

“In terms of the community values project, people were really positive to see this research done, and liked that it was being done by an independent party - not the energy company or the government,” Dr Reeves said.

Focus groups included environment groups, Traditional Owners, government authorities, businesses, community organisations, primary producers and recreational users.

Barrier Breakers founder speaks Michelle Slater

GIPPSLAND mental health not-for-profit Barrier Breakers went into liquidation recently, after the organisation could not pay back more than $100,000 in debt.

Barrier Breakers board members considered the Traralgon and Sale based agency was insolvent and could not meet its creditor’s demands.

Barrier Breakers has provided free mental health advocacy services in Gippsland since 2006.

In 2020, former Gippsland Farmer Relief chief executive and Latrobe City Councillor Melissa Ferguson was appointed as its chief executive.

Founder and long-serving director Derek Amos said he was “deeply saddened by the decision”, but accepted it had no choice but to close its doors.

After news that the not-for-profit had gone into liquidation, Mr Amos said the board was negotiating to transfer its clients to other agencies.

Barrier Breakers is the second Gippsland mental health provider to shut shop recently, after Within Australia went into voluntary liquidation.

Mr Amos said it became clear that Barrier Breakers could not pay its debts after the board was led to believe its financial status was “not as serious as it turned out to be”.

He said most of the debt was related to administration, tax and unpaid entitlements for seven staff.

“It was obvious that there was no way we could trade our way out of the situation, so we had to call the liquidators,” Mr Amos said.

“When we found out we owed that amount of money, we took steps to enter into a scheme of repayments prior to going into liquidation, but this didn’t occur.”

Mr Amos said the organisation mostly relied on about a dozen-or-so volunteers, with more than half of its financial support coming from the community.

“Our association had pleaded with governments for funding over the years, but little support had been provided,” Mr Amos said.

“You can live on a shoestring and do some marvellous things, but we needed a major injection of funds to keep going, and we received no such injection.”

A Victorian government spokesperson said this year’s state budget included $1.3 billion for new mental health and wellbeing initiatives, up from last year’s investment of $3.8 billion.

“We want all Victorians to know when they’re in crisis, there are services that will give them

“We are delivering a range of mental health initiatives for the Gippsland region, including tailored support for young people and our Hospital Outreach Post-suicidal Engagement program.”

THE Board of the Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce (the Taskforce) has provided formal advice to the Australian Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, following return of the writs for the 2022 Federal Election.

“The board has advised that Taskforce agencies did not identify any foreign interference, or any other interference, that compromised the delivery of the 2022 Federal Election and would undermine the confidence of the Australian

people in the results of the election,” Mr Rogers said.

Protecting the integrity of Australia’s electoral processes is critical to maintaining public trust in Australia’s democracy.

“The work of the Taskforce plays a vital role in protecting and preserving Australia’s electoral integrity, and I am pleased to be able to share this advice with all Australians.”

ELLA & Sienna, 19 and 16-year-old singer-songwriter sisters from the Adelaide Hills, have gained national prominence following their recent appearance on The Voice Australia, and will be performing at the Sale Country Music Festival this November.

Ella & Sienna’s latest triumph is their brand new single, ‘Saved’.

“Through the darkness I will find a way,” the duo sings on the pop-country track.

At first glance, the lyrics read as a story about heartbreak, but Sienna told the Gippsland Times it’s more than that.

“Saved is a bit like a break-up song, but it’s more about empowerment as young women as we work in the music industry,” Sienna said.

“We’re into folk sort of storytelling. Our music is more poppy focused, (but) our influencers are very wide.

“We like artists like P!nk and Nirvana, so we do have some rockier songs.”

While juggling typical teen commitments like university, high school, work and sport, the pair have managed some extraordinary feats. They’ve performed at a swag of country music festivals, bested multiple talent comps, and recently cracked Rita Ora’s final six on The Voice, bringing them closer to the music industry than most.

“It was such a good experience to reach the top six and see the show on a whole other level,” Ella said.

With The Voice done and dusted, Ella and Sienna are looking forward to performing in Gippsland for the Sale Country Music Festival in November, a bill that also features Shannon Noll, Amber Lawrence, Casey Barnes, Adam Brand and a number of others.

Ella and Sienna will be performing at the Sale Country Music Festival on Saturday, November 19.

Their new single ‘Saved’ is out now.

Ella & Sienna will perform at the Sale Country Music Festival this November.

The duos new single, ‘Saved’, is out now.

FILMGOERS and music lovers alike will be spellbound when the Grigoryan Brothers land Portside later this month.

The song writing brothers will be present for the screening of A Boy Called Sailboat at The Wedge, where they will provide a live accompaniment of the acoustic soundtrack - the very same one they composed.

According to younger brother Leonard, the pair became involved in the film through director Cameron Nugent and producer Andrew Curry.

“They got in touch with us quite a number of years ago, and they had this idea (for a film) and we kind of thought, ‘oh, this sounds great! Yeah, we’re definitely happy to write some music and contribute (however) we can’,” Leonard said.

After recording demos for the soundtrack, the brothers didn’t hear from Nugent nor Curry “for about a year”.

“And in the meantime, we kind of thought ‘oh, the movie’s probably not happening anymore,’ and then we’d hear from them and they be like ‘yeah, it’s all happening …’

“Then another year would go by and we wouldn’t hear from them, and again we thought, ‘it’s not happening …’

“A series of these sorts of things kept occurring and then, sure enough, they were in America filming the movie and it was all going ahead.

“And then we ended up in a studio together, and the rest of history.”

After A Boy Called Sailboat was released to the public in 2018, Leonard and Slava continued their association with the film by touring Australia with live performances of the soundtrack.

Their set-up - which sees them perform music from the picture as it screens behind them - is by no means unique, yet remains a challenge even for the most experienced musician.

“In the beginning, it was all very scary and tricky,” Leonard said.

“There’s a lot happening - we’ve got a screen that’s giving us lots of markings and details and all that sort of stuff, and a clip track in one ear.

“You can’t really zone-out at all.

“But we’ve come to the point now where it feels very comfortable doing it, and it’s always a lot of fun.”

As for the film itself, it tells of a young boy named Sailboat (Julian Atocani Sanchez) - as alluded to in the title - who reveals himself to be a prodigious guitarist.

With its enchanting, wholesome story and cast of Hollywood A-listers, the brothers are often having to compete with the picture for attention, a fact they are content with.

“We know that we’ve done a good job if the audience is not necessarily paying attention to us a hundred per cent of the time,” Leonard said.

“You don’t want to be… the centre of the show - the movie’s kind of the centrepiece, and the music is the cherry on top I guess.”

If the music is the cherry, then the cream must be the Q&A session that concludes the screening.

For this portion of the show, the brother will be joined by Nugent to field questions from the audience.

The Grigoryan Brothers will be appearing at The Wedge on Friday, August 12 from 8pm.

Tickets are available through thewedge.com. au or calling the box-office on 5143 3200.

Special Feature

The dangers associated with teeth whitening THE Australian Dental Association (ADA) provides consumers with the safest path to white teeth.

Teeth whitening is continually gaining popularity, with one in five Australian adults having sought a whiter, brighter smile in the last 12 months.

But many aren’t taking the safest route to white teeth.

New ADA survey data of 25,000 Australians shows that only one in three adults took the safest route to white teeth by doing it under the supervision of a dental professional - with 19 per cent using a take-home kit supplied by a dentist and 14 per cent opting for in-clinic whitening.

Another 39 per cent of survey respondents bought a kit online, 19 per cent got over-the-counter products like strips or gel from a pharmacy or supermarket, and nine per cent used whitening services provided by someone other than a dental professional.

The trouble with these methods is that consumers often end up using products above the allowed legal limit of six per cent hydrogen peroxide, which can result in damage to the gums - or excessive sensitivity of the teeth from failing to see a dentist to check your teeth first.

“If you don’t see a dentist beforehand, you won’t know if you have untreated tooth decay, exposed roots, broken

Page 14 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 2 August, 2022

or compromised fillings, cracks or other mouth issues that may well cause pain or discomfort when bleach meets them,” Emeritus Professor Laurie Walsh, the ADA’s teeth whitening expert explained.

“Then there is the issue of trays - an ill-fitting tray which has not been made from a customised mould designed to fit the exact shape of your teeth, can lead to bleach leaking from the tray, burning gums and soft tissue - and even being swallowed - which may cause ulceration to the throat.”

Kits from a supermarket or pharmacy carry a multitude of risks: the concentration of whitening agent (hydrogen peroxide) may be unknown. It may be too weak to be effective - a waste of time and money - or too strong, causing much greater risk of sensitivity, gum ulceration or burning of the gums.

Also, some over-the-counter products use flavours such as citric acid and recent research has shown that some of these products can erode tooth enamel.

The first and best course of action is to always visit a dentist first so they can assess your teeth for suitability, as not every mouth is suitable for whitening.

Emeritus Professor Walsh said “a trip to the dentist rather than opting for an over-the-counter product or

treatment by a non-dental professional will also leave consumers more informed.”

A dental practice can arrange for bleaching to be done at home, using trays that are custom-made for the patient. These trays reduce problems of soft tissue irritation and prevent the patient swallowing large amounts of bleaching gel.

Only registered dental practitioners can legally dispense for home use, high strength home bleaching products (those with hydrogen peroxide levels above six per cent).

The overall course of treatment is supervised, allowing the product strength and application time to be adjusted as needed.

A dentist will also explain the possible side effects with tooth whitening that everyone considering this treatment needs to be aware of.

“Rather than risk irreversible damage to your teeth, it’s safer to consult with the person who knows your teeth the best - your dentist,” Emeritus Professor Walsh said.

“They can discuss the options, advise whether you or your family member is a suitable candidate for teeth whitening, and supervise the process so that you get the best possible results.”

The ADA’s teeth whitening expert, Emeritus Professor Laurie Walsh.

Top tips to that healthy smile DENTAL Health Week (DHW) is the Australian Dental Association’s (ADA) major annual oral health campaign focusing on the importance of taking steps to care for your teeth and gums to help you to keep your teeth and smile for life, with four simple messages: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste; clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes; eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit added sugar intake; visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and preventive care.

Being comfortable and pain free while eating is paramount regardless of age, and teaching children dental routine will keep them in good stead throughout their adult life.

It should not be a normal to expect that you will need to have some teeth removed because of tooth decay or gum disease.

After all, you do not expect to lose an arm or leg, so why expect to lose any of your teeth?

(FORMERLY DENTAL CARE FOR YOU HEYFIELD)

Open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm Hanson’s Arcade, 51-53 Temple St, Hey Heyfield yfield

Australians should expect to keep their teeth for their lifetime and by following the steps listed above, they can reach this goal.

There are multiple ways to get information about oral health during Dental Health Week.

If you have not had a recent visit to the dentist, it is a great time to make an appointment.

A visit to your dentist for face-to-face advice is the best way to get your questions answered.

If you don’t have a regular dentist, check out the ADA’s FindADentist search engine to find an ADA member dentist near you.

If you are looking for information, click through the teeth.org.au website to find trustworthy and up-to-date oral health advice written by dentists from around Australia.

YARRAM and District Health Service (YDHS) will implement a new Primary Care electronic medical record system, which it says will streamline administration and improve the community’s experience of services.

YDHS has contracted Global Health to provide a number of software solutions to both the hospital and community health services. The $200,000 project will be implemented over the next 12 months.

YDHS chief executive Paul Head said the project would eliminate paper-based files and streamline the burden of manual administration tasks for staff in the provision of primary care services.

“It will enable us to connect directly with patient and clients, allowing our staff to spend more time focused on outcomes and less on paperwork and process,” he said.

“It also provides data gathering reporting and integration of our external reporting obligations.

“Importantly, it will make the community’s experience in receiving primary care much more responsive and less complicated.”

Global Health provides integrated healthcare solutions to key growth corridors in regional areas across Australia.

Berrys Creek Gourmet Cheese multi award winning Oak Blue. Photo: Contributed

Cheese Gold for Fish Creek Michelle Slater

A FISH Creek cheese producer has added yet another accolade to the already bursting trophy cabinet, after its locally produced blue cleaned up at the 2022 Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show.

Berrys Creek Gourmet Cheese took out the Champion Cheese of Show for its Oak Blue variety at the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales event held in Sydney last month.

The South Gippy Oak Blue already has a swag of national and international awards, including winning a Bronze medal in the Aussie class at the 2019 World Cheese Awards in England.

Cheesemaker Barry Charlton said the Sydney Royal award helped to lift the profile of the local dairy processor, which employs 11 staff since it began in 2007.

“If you are continually winning these awards, it also lifts the staff morale as they show so much pride in what they do,” Mr Charlton said.

“The expertise comes out in all the employees with their attention to detail and loving what they do, it plays a huge role in our company.”

Mr Charlton formed the small factory with his partner Cheryl after working at Jindi Cheese for 17 years and started developing his own range.

He said the Oak Blue was one of the first cheeses he began working on along the lines of a stilton and a gorgonzola.

“I’d describe it as a creamier and softer blue veined cheese with a full flavour and full maturity. I call it a stilton style, a lot of European people like it,” Mr Charlton said.

“I couldn’t make white mould cheeses like camembert or brie as we couldn’t compete with the big boys.

“I went ahead to see what I could develop as I had experience working with different cultures. All my own cheeses are my own recipes.”

Mr Charlton attributes some of his success to the locally-sourced milk from Fish Creek producers Gillian and Graeme Nicoll.

He has also been sourcing buffalo milk from Giffard West producer Bryan Jans to make his multi-award winning Riverine Blue.

“It makes a huge difference, I can monitor what the cows are fed,” Mr Charlton said.

“These are hand-picked farms and so I know what’s going into the milk, it makes my job easier.”

Victorian Farmers Federation livestock president and Giffard West farmer Steve Harrison says exhibitors need to have biosecurity measures in place as the threat of foot-and-mouth disease rises and agricultural society shows make a return.

Shows urged to boost security against FMD Michelle Slater THE state’s peak farming body is urging agricultural societies to beef-up their biosecurity plans ahead of the oncoming show season, in a bid to stop any threats of foot-and-mouth disease.

Victorian Farmers Federation livestock president and Giffard sheep breeder Steve Harrison said exhibitors and show organisers needed to have their own biosecurity measures in place.

So far, foot-and-mouth is not in Australia but is in Indonesia, with the Commonwealth rolling out measures at airports for returning travellers to help stop it entering the country.

Mr Harrison said the Commonwealth was “doing a good job” at keeping the disease out, but the situation was “unfolding now on our doorstep”.

He said ag societies could be providing footbaths and hand sanitisers before visitors entered pavilions, while exhibitors should be isolating any animals that leave the property.

“I’m not suggesting animals should be taken out of shows, as there’s no better experience for city

kids to see farm animals and we certainly don’t want to take this activity away from shows,” Mr Harrison said.

“I hope everyone can contribute to their local shows as they are an important part of the community.

“However, there is a risk and this has to be taken into account. I’m confident showgrounds have their own biosecurity plans in place.”

Grand Ridge low line cattle breeder and top level showie Vicki Gilbert was weighing up the risks of taking about 20 head of high class animals to this year’s Royal Melbourne Show.

Ms Gilbert is in the midst of relocating her South Gippsland farm to central Victoria, but has already spent several thousands on preparing her animals for the upcoming show season and entry fees.

She said low line cattle were to be a feature breed at year’s Royal Melbourne, which had been cancelled for the past three years due to COVID. “I’m not prepared to take my best animals and have them destroyed there if there’s an outbreak, I’m not prepared to take them until I know exactly what’s happening,” Ms Gilbert said.

“These shows are very important, but in the end, I want to come home with my animals, it makes me sick to the stomach if the disease comes here.

It’s confronting and scary.”

Victorian Agricultural Shows will be providing local ag societies with guidelines on how to manage their events and mitigate risks - which could include separating spectators from animals.

VAS executive officer Rod Bowles said show societies were already familiar with running their events along COVID-safe plans.

“We are taking this seriously, we want to keep having animals at shows, but we will be guided by the authorities to make recommendations,” Mr Bowles said.

“Exhibitors want to be assured there is protection before they come as many of these animals are the future generations of breeding.

“We certainly encourage families to go to their local show, our theme this year is ‘bigger and better’. People are looking to competing again in the shows.”

Minister for the Environment Tanya Plibersek said last month’s State of the Environment report detailed the importance of taking action to protect endangered species.

Check legality of your firewood THE Conservation Regulator and Parks Victoria are urging people to help stop illegal firewood operators, by asking some key questions before they buy wood this winter.

Each year, Victorians are caught out unintentionally buying illegally sourced firewood, which can lead to the loss of important wildlife habitat such as hollow logs and dead trees.

Firewood is often sold on social media websites, at roadside stalls and by word-of-mouth, and it can be difficult for customers to know where it comes from.

Conservation Regulator regulatory operations director Ash Bunce is asking the community to help catch those doing the wrong thing.

“If the firewood seems relatively cheap compared to other local sellers, or the seller can’t tell you where the wood is from, it could be because it has been obtained illegally, and most likely from public land such as national parks or state forests,” he said.

Mr Bruce is urging people to consider questions including: Where does this wood come from?

Firewood sellers should be able to provide details of where the wood they are supplying is sourced from.

This includes a wholesale supplier, commercial wood lot or private land, with the permission of the landowner.

Firewood sellers should also be able provide a tax receipt with a business name and ABN listed.

Other questions could include, ‘Why is the wood so cheap?’ If firewood is being purchased through social media and seems cheap, ask the supplier why.

Parks Victoria enforcement and regulatory services senior manager, Mark Breguet, said the impacts of illegally removing firewood from parks and reserves lasts for generations.

“It is critical for the protection of these areas and the species that rely upon timber for habitat, that purchasers of firewood ensure it is legally sourced,” he said.

A GROUP of highly endangered eastern bristlebirds have made their home in Wilsons Promontory after a delicate overnight relocation program was carried out last month.

Seventeen eastern bristlebirds were transported from the Booderee and Jervis Bay national parks in south-eastern New South Wales to establish a second colony in Gippsland.

The multi-agency team of 10 organisations carefully transported the ground-dwelling birds through the night across the border to a habitat naturally sheltered from the impacts of climate change.

Eastern bristlebirds are listed as endangered nationally and critically endangered in Victoria.

They are under increasing threat due to the increasing frequency and intensity of fires.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning project lead Beau Fahnle said translocating any native species was a precarious operation and only considered as a last resort.

“For the eastern bristlebird, translocation is necessary despite the risks,” Mr Fahnle said.

“Through this operation, it is hoped that the eastern bristlebird can flourish in a location where such challenges are less prominent.”

The Australian-first interstate operation was undertaken to boost the bird’s population, genetic diversity and long-term prospect of survival.

There is a lone population of eastern bristlebirds in fire-prone Howe Flat in the Croajingalong National Park, which is under imminent threat from climate change, predation and habitat loss.

An emergency extraction ahead of the fire-front in the Black Summer bushfires was carried out to help insure its population in Victoria.

A taskforce spanning three states undertook the highly delicate operation, transporting the birds in a 10-hour overnight vehicle convoy.

The species are characteristically known to be timid, poor fliers and prone to stress.

The recipient site at the Prom was laid-out with predator control, vegetation surveys, planned burning and pest management to ensure a safe transition and warm welcome.

The VIP travellers were transported in specially grown Poa grass tussocks from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria to reduce any trauma.

The project was funded by the Commonwealth, New South Wales and Victorian governments, and

Teaching an ancient martial art Zoe Askew LOCAL man David Lambie has brought Iwama Ryu Aikido to Sale.

There are only a handful of Aikido dojos in Australia, teaching and practising the traditional Japanese martial art of Iwama Ryu Aikido that integrates empty-hand (tai-jutsu), wooden sword (aiki-ken), wooden staff (aiki-jo) and knife (tanto) systems.

Iwama Ryu Aikido practises self-defence techniques using a blend of the attacker’s movements, the dynamic engagement strategies and spherical motion evolved from techniques of Japanese swordsmanship.

In 2010, David Lambie, a young country boy eager to explore the wonders of city life, packed his bags and headed to Melbourne, where he would work and study, making friends quickly as all young folk who’ve just moved to the city do.

One day, a new friend showed Lambie a video of an Aikido demonstration on YouTube. Flash forward 12 years, and David Lambie is one of the few Aikido instructors in the country. He has returned to his roots, bringing home the traditional Japanese martial art and opening a dojo right here in Sale.

“I was first introduced to Aikido from a friend who showed me some videos of O Sensei conducting a demonstration; initially I thought it was cool but didn’t think too deeply about it,” Lambie said.

“At that time, I was practising mindfulness meditation, and eventually, I would come across some information regarding the philosophy of Aikido; this is when Aikido really started to interest me.

“Once I decided to start training, I had to find a dojo, and lucky for me, I found one five minutes up the road from my apartment in Prahran. After my first class, I was hooked, and I’ve trained consistently for the last nine years.”

Lambie is now conducting lessons in Iwama Ryu Aikido at Clydebank Hall, teaching the traditional Japanese martial art comprised of throwing, controlling and weapon techniques.

“Iwama Ryu Aikido is a self-defence system designed to protect yourself against multiple attackers using the philosophy of harmony,” Lambie said.

“There are many great positives that come out of training. It increases your awareness and breathing, builds confidence and discipline, and improves your balance, mental health and well-being.

David Lambie runs a dojo out of the Clydebank Hall.

“Apart from the numerous health benefits, you’ll get to train with like-minded individuals of different ages and backgrounds. You’ll also become part of a national and international community and become connected to the tradition of Iwama Ryu Aikido.”

Iwama Ryu Aikido classes at the Clydebank Hall run every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30pm until 8.30pm. Classes are open to all, regardless of age, experience or fitness level.

Close baseball loss for Sale Rangers Amy Forrester

A GRADE

MOE/NEWBOROUGH Dodgers took the win against Churchill Braves, the finishing score 19-4.

Moe/Newborough Dodgers fired up the offence in the first innings when an error scored one run for the Churchill Braves.

In the fifth innings, Churchill Braves tallied three runs, which came from a walk by Rhys McKenzie and a single by Jarrod Thomas.

Moe/Newborough Dodgers proved too strong for their opponents, as Churchill Braves struggled to put runs on the board and failed at defensively containing Moe/Newborough Dodgers, giving up 19 runs.

Moe/Newborough racked up 21 hits for the game, with Churchill racking up six hits.

It was a tight game between Traralgon and Sale, with just one

run difference separating winner and loser on the weekend.

Sale Rangers stayed in the game until the end, out-hitting their opponents 12 hits to seven, but Traralgon Redsox pulled away late, securing a 5-4 victory.

Traralgon Redsox and Sale Ranger were tied at the three, with Traralgon batting in the top of the seventh when Josh Graham singled on the first pitch of the bat, scoring one run.

B GRADE

SALE Rangers watched the game slip away early and couldn’t recover in an 8-3 loss to Morwell Cougars.

Morwell scored on a single by Kenny Dron, a walk by Darren Flanigan, and a walk by Alan Standing in the first innings.

Like their A Grade counterpart, Churchill Braves struggled to get their offence going, unable to recover, resulting in a 12 – 4 loss to Moe/ Newborough Dodgers.

Moe/Newb Dodgers pulled away for good with eight runs in the third innings with Nathan Simpson and Ben Zomer hitting doubles, scoring two runs, Dale Simpson singled, scoring two runs, an error scoring two runs, and Simon Wilson doubled on the first pitch of the bat, scoring a run.

C GRADE

CHURCHILL Braves took their game in dramatic walk-off fashion, thanks to a walk-off at the game to topple Moe/Newborough Dodgers.

The game was tied at the bottom of the seventh when William Marks reached on a dropped strike, letting them get the winning run 14 to 13.

Morwell won against Sale 9-0.

UNDER 16

CHURCHILL Braves took the game early against the Moe/Newborough Dodgers with a 12- 1 win, while Sale Rangers walked away drawing against the Traralgon Redsox 5-5.

Nominations open to celebrate inclusive sport and recreation NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2022 Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation (VDSR) Awards.

The VDSR Awards are a celebration of the achievements of sportspeople with disability, plus the coaches, organisations, officials and volunteers who support them and the inclusive sport and recreation sector across Victoria.

“Our sector is made up of many humble people, who quietly go about volunteering, coaching and supporting people with disability so they can live healthy, active lives,” Disability Sport & Recreation chief executive Richard Amon said.

“Together, these individuals, organisations and clubs are making tremendous, positive change in the lives of people with disability.

“We strongly encourage everyone to consider those people who are making a quiet, but significant impact in their communities and acknowledge their

contribution by nominating them for an award.”

Entrants in the Awards can be nominated by state sporting associations, regional sport assemblies, local government, individuals, teammates, club members, coaches or their local community.

Previous winners include Paralympian and wheelchair tennis champion Dylan Alcott, and the 2018 Commonwealth Games Sports Ambassador for Cycling, Dr Jessica Gallagher.

PERCENTAGE-BOOST was the modus operandi for winners in Round 16 of the Gippsland League. The round acted as the first week of a split-round, which saw Sale take to the field, while Maffra had the week off.

THE Magpies kept second spot on the ladder thanks to a huge win over Warragul.

Travelling to Western Park, the visitors were rarely challenged, and ended up winning 25.12 (162) to 8.7 (55).

A seven-goal opening term gave Sale a good platform to build from, which they did for the remaining three quarters.

Needing to win big to stave off the threat of Wonthaggi and Traralgon taking a place in the top three, Sale was able to do just that.

By half-time the margin was out to 54 points, and by three quarter time, bled to 62.

Brad Dessent led the scoring for the winners with six, while Jack Leslie was best-on-ground after nailing five.

Jarrod Freeman celebrated his 100th senior game with three goals. Jack McLaren, Cooper Whitehill, Pat Tainsh, Kane Martin and Harry Ronchi all played well.

Jed Lamb continued his remarkable form in front of goal for Warragul.

The former Carlton player kicked six of the Guls’ eight goals.

Given Warragul’s struggles this season, Lamb’s performances have probably shown just how good you have to be to make it to the top level.

Sam Whibley, Tully Loomes, Sean Masterson, Mitch Nobelius and Brad Hefford were others to contribute for the Guls.

The huge total continued the Magpies scoring spree, which has seen them kick 100-plus points for five consecutive weeks.

While the winter months ordinarily see teams win games kicking between 10 and 12 goals, Sale has gone all-out-attack and kept scoreboard attendants across various Gippsland League grounds very busy.

In keeping with their Magpie moniker, Sale has adapted to various conditions, regardless

of what the weather forecast is saying.

As far as Sale is concerned, it has been raining goals every week since Round 12.

The Magpies have kicked 104 majors since then, for a grand total of 104.81 (705), leading to a percentage of 151.54.

TRARALGON said to Sale; ‘Two can play at this game’.

Knowing a huge win was needed in order to potentially set-up a showdown with the Magpies for a place in the top three, the Maroons did just that, wiping Bairnsdale aside by 100 points.

Traralgon showed little mercy at home, and broke away to win 20.14 (134) to 4.10 (34).

The Maroons got up-and-running after the first break, and found their accuracy in front of goal as the match wore on.

The home side kicked 6.1 (37) in the final term, with Brett Eddy ending the match with eight goals.

Eddy’s effort virtually doubled the entire team effort of the Redlegs.

With one eye more than likely turned to the end of the season, Bairnsdale fought the game out as best it could. Nathan Dennison was serviceable, as was Simon Deery, Josh Wykes, Kieran Vickery, Brayden McCarrey and Daniel Eastman.

As well as Eddy, Tye Hourigan, Tom Schneider, Matt Northe, Mark Collison and Luis D’Angelo found plenty of the ball for the Maroons.

Northe kicked four goals, and his emergence as a noted goal-kicker in recent weeks may give Traralgon an extra string to their bow come finals.

With key forwards Jake Best and Dylan Loprese only kicking one goal each at the weekend in a 100-point win, their low returns could actually be seen as a positive now that it is clear the Maroons have multiple avenues to goal.

Traralgon and Sale will now turn to Round 17, where the two sides meet in a fortnight’s time, in a match that could well determine who gets the double-chance.

WONTHAGGI easily accounted for Morwell.

The Power did not give the Tigers a look-in at home, and won 18.12 (120) to 7.9 (51).

Morwell dropped six goals in the opening quarter, and found themselves playing catchup from there.

Having done most of their hard work early, Wonthaggi was able to run the game out to its liking.

Troy Harley slotted four goals for the victors, and had good support from Ryan Sparkes, Mitch Hayes, Jarryd Blair, Harry Dawson, Toma Huther and Steven Scott.

Brandon Mcauliffe battled hard for Morwell, as did Burkeley Macfarlane, Riley Loprese, Max Linton, Ryan Hearn and Judah Leak.

The result may be an alarming one for the Tigers, with the fear now they could just be making up the numbers if they qualify for finals.

MAFFRA would have been smiling wryly once news of the Morwell/Wonthaggi match came to hand, as the Eagles went back into the top five as its percentage was not affected due to the week off.

Board selected in Pizzey Cup THREE-TIME Sale Tennis Club Women’s Club champion Jess Board has been selected in the Victorian Pizzey Cup team.

The Pizzey Cup is a prestigious national schools tennis championships open to students from Year 7 through to Year 12 inclusive.

The Jack Pizzey Cup was inaugurated in 1963, with the then Queensland Minister for Education, the Right Honourable Jack Pizzey donating the trophy. Rt Hon Pizzey was a secondary school teacher and became Premier of Queensland in January 1968, until his sudden and untimely death in July of that year.

Tennis Victoria and Tennis Australia support School Sport Victoria in the delivery of the National Secondary School Teams event - the Pizzey Cup - with teams competing from every state and territory.

The event provides Victorian secondary school students the opportunity to represent Victoria at the School Sport Australia Championships, with the winners awarded the Pizzey Cup, and players also receive important Australian Ranking points.

The Victorian team is made up of eight female and eight male Victorian secondary students aged 18 and under.

Jess is in Year 11 at Gippsland Grammar and is the only player from Gippsland to make the team.

Jess is currently 3150 in the ITF junior world rankings, and over the past month she has played Junior International Tennis Federation events in Indonesia, Vietnam and has just returned from an event in Fiji.

The 2022 Pizzey Cup will be held in Perth from August 27 to September 3.

GENEROUS workers at the Longford Gas Plant have helped Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club to buy new equipment to boost the club’s search and rescue capabilities.

Esso Australia and site contractors, including UGL, Oceaneering and Wood, recently completed critical integrity work during a shutdown to ensure a reliable supply of gas from Gippsland to Australian consumers during the winter peak.

As part of the plant’s unique Shutdown Incentive Program, team members nominated local not-for-profit organisations to which donations were made as shutdown milestones were met and as the plant recorded incident-free weeks.

Seaspray Surf Club was one of the volunteer organisations nominated as a recipient.

Club captain Jessica Jackson said the club relied on the community’s generosity to continue to provide a safe environment for beach users.

“The gas plant’s Safety Incentive Program has enabled us to buy search lights, head lamps and high-quality binoculars,” Jackson said.

“This equipment will be invaluable during a search and rescue situation.

“On behalf of Seaspray Surf Club, I would like to thank everyone involved in the Shutdown Incentive Program for their generosity, and congratulate them on their safe work practices.”

Final five decided in North Gippy Scott Berechree

CHURCHILL v TTU

HAVING secured a top three spot after beating Churchill for the second time this year, Traralgon Tyers United will not only be participating in the post-season, but they will be planning on going deep into the finals.

They were far too good on Saturday for a Churchill side that was overcome by both a welldrilled Bomber outfit and a series of injuries.

The Bombers came out firing early and jumped the home side, slamming home the first two majors of the day on the way to a 17.9 (111) to 11.12 (78) victory.

Co-captains Jye Neilson and Mitch Mustoe had the travelling TTU fans in full voice within the first few minutes as they both kicked truly.

But just as the healthy crowd in attendance thought they were going to see a one-sided drubbing, Churchill ruckman and birthday boy Dillon Leys set about righting the ship for the Cougars.

He dominated the stoppages by either grabbing the ball from the ruck and kicking it forward himself, or by providing room service tap-work to the likes of Chris Williams, Jake Roe Duggan and Michael Diaz. With the quantity and quality of supply heading forward, it was no surprise the home side was able to capitalise.

Despite the best efforts of Zac Kilgower, who had the job on the league’s leading goal kicker Ben Kearns, and Jack Brown, who was running with Brendan Holt, Churchill piled on six straight goals to take a neat four-goal lead into the first break.

Holt himself managed three of those six goals.

Some early cracks were starting to show in the Cougar line-up however, with star on baller Chris Williams the victim of some Leys enthusiasm at a stoppage, spending upward of 20 minutes on the bench in the first term.

Williams’ injury was compounded when Ryan Lowrie, who was running with TTU’s prime on baller Michael Jacobsen, received the sniper’s bullet to the hamstring.

All of a sudden, the Cougar midfield was down two key rotations and TTU was starting to hit their straps.

When Hayden Willaton, who hit a purple patch of form in the second term, kicked back-to-back goals, the Bombers were not only back in the hunt, but had all the momentum.

A free kick to Stu Goddard, who kicked truly for the first of his two goals for the day, and a masterly mark and goal to Rohan Hore saw the Bombers head into the main break with a four-point lead on the back of a six goal to two quarter.

As if things weren’t bad enough for Churchill, Scott Whittle, who had held TTU’s leading goal kicker Brad Kelleher scoreless amid the six-goal Bomber blitz, limped to the bench just as the halftime hooter sounded. He would be unable to return to the park for the day.

His absence necessitated a halftime shuffle of Churchill defenders. This saw Hayden Wier and Bailey Flanigan now sharing the job of stopping Kelleher.

The knock-on effect of this was that Churchill skipper Angus Mitchell now had to play a more accountable role. His intercept marking, which was key in the Churchill run of six goals in the first term, would no longer be an avenue to attack.

Recognising the damage Hayden Willaton and Jacobsen had caused in the match-turning second term, Tom Sevenson and Riley Flanigan were now tasked with the stopping jobs on these two.

TTU themselves made some changes.

Having recognised the rucking dominance of Leys, they spent the next half throwing three ruckmen at him in an attempt to negate his influence.

Nielson, Ben Fleming and Hore all spent time running through the middle on the big fella trying to slow him down.

Crucially for Churchill, Chris Williams returned to the park, but it appeared to be in a slightly limited capacity as he spent much of the game forward with Kerns having an all-too-rare run in the middle.

When play got underway in the second half it was TTU who kicked the first goal.

They then followed up with two more majors to Jayden Cutts and Neilson, and the Bomber lead had escalated to four goals. Even at the final break things were looking ominous for Churchill.

Kade Duncan, he of the long sleeves and trusty left foot, was a standout in the third term for TTU, and while Leys continued to dominate the ruck ,the likes of Mustoe and Jacobsen were winning the midfield battle.

Mustoe in fact was not only wining the ball in the middle, he was hitting the scoreboard, with his two goals perhaps edging him over the line for the Crocker Medal (the medal is awarded annually when TTU and Churchill clash).

With the game still to be decided, the last quarter will not be remembered by those who were there for TTU’s victory, but for a terrible head clash that saw Churchill’s Brendan Holt transported to hospital.

Holt and TTU’s Nicholas Fox, a scrupulously fair ball player, competed for the footy in the Churchill forward 50.

The ensuing collision saw Holt rendered unconscious. Play was stopped for nearly 30 minutes as the trainers from both clubs attended to the stricken star.

Thankfully Holt was discharged from hospital Saturday evening.

Play resumed after the lengthy delay and Churchill were soon down to no bench as Ben Skinner limped off, but the footy that followed was more or less academic.

The result was all but decided pre the injury break, but when Jake Albanese kicked two last quarter goals it added some icing to the Bomber cake.

TTU has now inflicted defeat on Churchill twice this year, the Cougars’ only losses, and with a likely week one finals clash looming between the two, the Bombers will take a great deal of confidence into their finals campaign..

For Churchill, it will be a case of getting their injured players back on the park as soon as possible and re-focusing on the weeks ahead.

GLENGARRY v SALE CITY

IN the other finals-shaping match of the round, Glengarry finally did what they have threatened to do all year and knocked off a finals candidate.

The Magpies’ best footy has seen them win quarters over both Churchill and Yarram by six goals, yet for reasons known only to themselves they have struggled to put a full game together.

Sadly for Sale City they did this on Saturday, winning 10.18 (78) to 7.5 (47).

Led by best-on-ground Jay Neagle, the Magpies were in front at every change, and extended their lead across each quarter in what must have been a most satisfying performance for the playing group, coaching staff and supporters.

In fact, if not for some inaccuracy in front of goal, the final winning margin of 31 points would’ve been much greater.

Ben Truin managed four for the winners with Travis Patten and Zac Bezzina were their other multiple goal scorers.

For the Bulldogs it was Adam Gray who played a lone hand in front of goal kicking five.

Without Sam Davidson and Bohdi Walker on the park, scoring always looked the worry for the tri-colours, and so it proved as they managed only seven majors for the day.

Both sides can take plenty out of this season, and with another pre-season under their belts it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility these sides could both be pushing for a finals berth come season 2023.

WOODSIDE v GORMANDALE

WOODSIDE did as expected over Gormandale, and ran away 26-goal winners 30.26 (206) to 7.3 (45).

Lee Stockdale was best-on-ground, booting seven goals, with Daniel Missen and Bailey Tatnell both close behind managing six each.

The Wildcats have now locked-in fifth spot, assuming they can knock off Cowwarr next week, and look set to play their third local derby of the year in week one of the finals with Yarram awaiting them.

Gormandale managed their highest score in a month, kicking seven goals. Jarryd Garlick and Chris Long with a pair apiece for the Tiges.

YARRAM v HEYFIELD

YARRAM managed to dodge a bullet in what could have been a danger game for them, taking care of an incredibly accurate Heyfield by a tick over five goals.

Heyfield kicked 13.2 (80) to keep themselves in the contest for most of the day, but Yarram ended on 17.12 (114).

As they have had a habit of doing over the years, the Kangaroos unveiled yet another young gun in Asher Eastham, who helped himself to five goals.

Another of the Kangaroos’ junior jets, Tyson Birss slotted three in a vote-catching effort for the son of a gun.

For Yarram, it was Corbin Sutherland leading the way with seven goals.

Post-game, Sutherland commented on the talent-laden Heyfield line-up, suggesting many of the kids have a big future in footy with several potentially destined for bigger and better things than North Gippy.

Sutherland acknowledged the Chisolm brothers, Tyler and Tanner, saying both were fantastic in his own side’s effort, while also noting that Jacob Davis must also have been very good given he was listed further up the best players list than Sutherland himself.

THE final game of the round saw Yallourn Yallourn North resounding winners over Cowwarr, 28.16 (184) to 4.4 (28).

The Jets, who now have a mortgage on top spot on the ladder, were again frugal, conceding just the four goals.

Their defence continues to amaze, and with a league-low 527 points against this season, they have conceded around 50 per cent less score than their nearest rival.

Of course, they have had little to worry about when it comes to offence.

Even without Mitch Luck, who has missed a lot of footy lately, the Jets are still piling on the goals.

Dean MacDonald and Keenan Hughes kicked a dozen between them at the weekend, but were outdone by Josh Keyhoe, who popped up to snag seven majors for the day in a best-on-ground effort.

ROSEDALE had the bye.

AFTER 16 rounds of North Gippsland footy, we have our top five locked away.

Courtesy of their win over Heyfield and Sale City going down at the hands of Glengarry, Woodside has secured fifth spot on the ladder.

So, with two weeks of home-and-away footy remaining prior to finals, the competing sides can start making their plans for the post- season, and those not participating can start planning their costumes for Mad Monday.

Swans gain bragging rights Liam Durkin

FINALS-BOUND teams have been decided in East Gippsland football.Wy Yung, Stratford, Lucknow and Lindenow will all take part in the post-regular season, and can now rest easy in the knowledge they are headed for the bright lights of finals football.

While the above-mentioned teams cannot miss the finals (pending an unregistered player fiasco or similar), the exact finishing positions could still come down to the last round of the home-and-away season.

Those at the foot of the ladder still have something to play for, as the inglorious distinction to determine who gets the wooden spoon remains alive.

STRATFORD is one win away from making the double-chance a mathematical certainty.

The Swans are six points clear in second with two rounds to play, after defeating local rival Boisdale-Briagolong at the weekend.

The fallout from the Round 16 clash had polar opposite effects for the respective teams, with the Swans now well in the hunt for the flag, and the Bombers in a battle to avoid finishing the season last.

As the final siren sounded at Stratford on Saturday, showing a final scoreboard reading 16.5 (101) to 9.7 (61), it was enough to send BoisdaleBriagolong to the bottom of the ladder.

While they weren’t to know it then and there, once news of Orbost Snowy Rovers’ win over Paynesville came to hand, it was set in stone.

Despite having won more games than the Blues, the Bombers fell to last by virtue of being on the same number of points but with an inferior percentage.

Boisdale-Briagolong competed honestly with Stratford right up until three quarter time, when they trailed by only 18 points.

In the last term however, it was all one-waytraffic. The Swans kicked five goals to one to make sure of the result, giving their home crowd plenty to cheer about.

Haydn Erfurth and Will Webb were productive inside 50 for the winners, kicking nine between them.

Zane Perkins was best-on-ground for Stratford, while Gavin Bickery, Reegan Tait and James Channing also played well.

For the Bombers, Matt Wilkinson did his best to

Stratford’s Haydn Erfurth kicked five goals at the weekend. steer the side to victory with four goals.

Others to play well in the red and black were Daniel Johnson, Ben Wilkinson, Tom Lee, Sam Bedggood and Byron Sandeman.

There was double-delight for Stratford, who also won a vitally important match in the reserves.

A win to the Swans in the ‘Lunchtime League’ over the second-placed team ensured they remained

in the top four.

Stratford faces an exciting end to the home-andaway season in the reserves, as it is equal on points with Orbost Snowy Rovers in fifth.

While its senior team is done, Boisdale-Briagolong will at least see finals action in the seconds this season.

The Bombers’ match against third-placed Lindenow this week will virtually determine who gets the double-chance.

The last two weeks of the regular season could provide a challenge of a different kind for Boisdale-Briagolong, as it will need to weigh-up the importance of fielding a strong seconds team without totally compromising its senior side, given there is likely to be players on the verge of overqualifying to play reserves finals.

OTHER results for Round 16 saw Orbost Snowy Rovers defeat Paynesville.

The Blues drove away from Paynesville with a 12.15 (87) to 7.9 (51) triumph, making it two wins in three weeks.

While such a feat might not be worth celebrating for those at the top end of the ladder, for a team that has struggled in recent seasons as Orbost Snowy Rovers has, few could begrudge them for enjoying the spoils of victory.

Gus Rogers, Max Welsh, Jessie Pescod, Campbell Macalister, Jake Humphreys and Andrew Kenny played well in the win.

Best for Paynesville was Josh Cameron, Ben McKinnon, Jordan Farquhar, Caleb Holland, Nick Pincott and David Ashworth.

After looking to be one of the competition’s big improvers during the early stages of the season, the Gulls have fallen away in recent weeks.

Orbost Snowy Rovers on the other hand has shown there is a bit to be excited about at The Bridge, and another win before the year is out will surely provide a spark to carry into preseason.

LUCKNOW caused the upset of the round, defeating top-side Wy Yung.

The Magpies were too strong at home, winning 13.12 (90) to 7.9 (51).

Lucknow is still a chance to dispose of Stratford in second, and will be baying for blood now that they have handed Wy Yung just their second defeat of the season.

At the risk of delving into clichés - was it the loss Wy Yung had to have?

LINDENOW and Lakes Entrance played out a competitive game.

Scores were level at three quarter time, before the visiting Cats did enough in the finish.

Lindenow kicked four goals to two in the final quarter, taking the points 12.8 (80) to 10.9 (69).

Brodie Cameron, Kevin Bongers, Josh Lando, Todd Alexander, Stephen Henshaw and Jack van Reyk were best for the Cats.

The Seagulls were well-served by Jake Fisher, Jarred McDonnell, Jordan Cullen, Jarrod Matthews, Fraser Dostine and James Gibbs.

Local leagues take on best From page 36 The Gippsland League Under 17 Girls made Round 1 of the Netball Victoria Association Championships.
