HEYF YFIELD F cricketer Justin Morgan (pictured) is on his way to Brisbane this week to represent Australia.

The wicketkeeperbatsman will be playing in the International Cricket Inclusion Series as part of the Australian National Deaf Squad.

The selection came as something of a surprise to Morgan, who only joined the Victorian Deaf Squad a few months ago.

“It happened pretty quick… I’m still pinching myself,” Morgan told the Gippsland Times.

The opportunity to play for Victoria first fii emerged in December last year, when Morgan saw an advertisement for tryouts on Facebook.

From there, Morgan sent an application to Cricket Victoria, who invited him to join training sessions at the Junction Oval soon after.

The invitation proved somewhat daunting for Morgan.

“I’ve never really been around the deaf community much, so I was a bit nerv rvous,” v Morgan said.

“But I was like, ‘well, training at the Junction – not many people get to do that,’ so I went down (to Melbourne) and then ended up getting picked in the Victorian Squad.”

MORGAN’S AUSSIE DEBUT

Tom Parry

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester lost his challenge to lead the National Party yesterday.

David Littleproud was confirmed as the new Nationals leader at a party room meeting held in Canberra, replacing Barnaby Joyce.

Perin Davey was elected as deputy leader.

Mr Littleproud, 45, had been the deputy leader of the party since February 2020, serving under Mr Joyce and Michael McCormack.

“This is the proudest day of my professional life,” he said.

“No individual will continue to represent regional and rural Australia alone.

“It will be the team, the collective wisdom of those men and women, those 22 men and women in that room, that will drive the National Party into the future, will drive regional and rural Australia, that will give it its voice right here in Canberra.”

Mr Chester announced his intention to nominate for the Nationals leadership last Friday, following the LiberalNational Coalition’s defeat at the recent Federal Election.

“I think it’s important that we listen to the message that we received over the weekend from the Australian people,” Mr Chester told the ABC. “I think they want us to be more moderate and more respectful in public debates in this country, they want a calmer democracy, I guess, and I think I can offer that to the room.”

Speaking to the Gippsland Times last week, Mr Chester admitted that he was unlikely to secure leadership of the Nationals, pointing to the fact that his party had not been led by a Victorian MP in five decades.

The Liberal Party also chose a new leader yesterday, with Peter Dutton elected unopposed and Sussan Ley as deputy.

LOCALS are being invited to the Gippsland Art Gallery’s Winter Season Launch, offering a first glimpse at a brand-new exhibition.

Fragile Earth: Extinction sees artists come together to explore and articulate through their various art practices the complexity of our current ecological crisis.

In response to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, artists from the Gippsland collective CARE (Concerned Artists Resisting Extinction) and invited artists from across Australia use this exhibition to ask: how can we communicate and document the story of rapid loss of species, habitats, and ecosystems?

With great sensitivity, the featured artists poetically express the fragile stories of the sixth extinction and work conscientiously to illustrate the relevance of ecology and nature conservation through artistic enquiry.

The exhibition is part of the Gallery’s Fragile Earth program, a new series of biennial exhibitions that will each explore different aspects of the changing climate and its effects on life on Earth.

Extinction is the first part of this series, thoughtfully curated by Louisa Waters and Melanie Caple, and drawing together the work of some 100 artists.

The Winter Season Launch will take place from 6pm on Friday, June 10.

Other exhibitions which can be viewed on the night include:  Richard Young: Gunnai Vibrations  Aunty Eileen Harrison: Connections to Country  Danny McDonald: Overburden  The Art of Annemieke Mein  Adrian Mauriks: Small Sculpture  Art Overcoming Obstacles For full exhibition dates and details, visit the Gallery’s official website: www.gippslandartgallery. com

Appeal for information for theft of an ATV

The state government needs to help coal workers transition to renewables, according to a parliamentary Inquiry report.

Transition support pivotal improvement, such as textiles, clothing and car manufacturing.

“Transitioning an industry in Australia has proven to be a massive economic and social disruption. Ensuring this is not the experience of the fossil fuel workers must be a key focus,” the submission stated.

“Historically, workers and communities within transitioning industries suffered hardship, unemployment, and generations of social and economic depression.”

The Inquiry outlined the Latrobe Valley Authority had supported ex-power station workers to find new jobs and was working to identify and support new industries on the Valley.

It recommended the state government continue to build on the lessons learnt from the closure of Hazelwood and apply this in the lead up to the closure of Yallourn and Loy Yang A. It said work should be done now to identify the supply chain companies that service Yallourn ahead of time to transition when it closes in 2028.

The Inquiry also recommended the state government work with the energy sector ensure

THE state government needs to support worker transition services in the lead up to coal closures and ensure renewables jobs are secure and well paid, according to an Inquiry report.

The findings come as a Parliamentary Inquiry into renewable energy in Victoria was handed down last week, outlining progress towards the state’s renewables targets of 50 per cent by 2030.

The Inquiry pointed to the need for a just transition for the Latrobe Valley as coal generators closed.

It found the state was well placed to meet its renewables and emissions targets which provided certainty in the market to allow investments in clean energy.

It also pointed out the importance of offshore wind, renewable energy zones and transmission lines.

But the Community and Public Sector Union warned the Inquiry that Australia’s record of supporting industries in decline had room for

long-term, well-paid and secure renewable energy jobs, backed by skills and training.

University of Melbourne Energy Transition Hub research fellow Dylan McConnell said the state government had a role to help plan for the future with likely earlier than planned coal closures.

“The coal closure timeline is much earlier than you would be led to believe by the various private companies that are participating in the sector,” Dr McConnell said “So this is one area where I think there is a bit of a role for state involvement in terms of planning, because this is going to have significant impacts particularly in the Latrobe Valley.”

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath said the report failed to highlight Valley projects such as Opal’s waste to energy and coal to hydrogen could help reach net zero by 2050.

Ms Bath said Victoria should be leading the way when it came to manufacturing components for wind and solar.

“Supporting local manufacturing in renewable components and replace imports is sensible way to transition communities impacted by power station closures – it makes sense,” Ms Bath said.

Longford Primary School honours CFA

LONGFORD Primary School paid tribute to their local CFA brigade with a public art show earlier this month.

The exhibition was displayed as part of the CFA Family Fun Day held Saturday, May 21.

Teacher Karen McAdam facilitated the art show on behalf of the school.

“It was important for the students to be a part of the celebrations because the school has a long-standing positive relationship with the Longford CFA, and the students and families will continue to have a close connection to their local fire brigade,” Ms McAdam said.

Students at Longford spent three weeks preparing for the art show, which included discussions about the brigade’s history and the role it plays in the community.

“These art works are inspired by those conversations,” Ms McAdam said.

“They are a representation of our community and our local area.

“Students recognise the importance of the CFA and I am proud to show the public, through this art display, how students see our local heroes.”

The art show included paintings, collages, construction pieces and multimedia pieces from students, with prizes for the best works being awarded on the day.

Morgan set for Aussie debut

Justin Morgan will represent the Australian Deaf Cricket Team.

From page 1

Following his selection in the Victorian team, Morgan participated in a practice match at Casey Fields, where he was tapped by the coach of Australia’s Deaf team, Jason Mathers to play for the National side.

Next came a rigorous training weekend in Brisbane, which Morgan described as “a bit of a shock”.

“We did … four hours (of training) on the Friday, and then six hours on the Saturday, and then a couple of hours in the morning on the Sunday before we flew back home,” Morgan said.

“That’s more than I would have done in a month at Heyfield!”

Despite the shock of the gruelling drills, Morgan’s efforts made an impression on selectors, picking him for the 14-man squad to play against England.

His team will be one of three Australian sides competing in the Inclusion Series, the other two being the Intellectual Disability team and Blind Page 4 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 31 May, 2022

team, both playing their respective England squads.

For Morgan, the experience will be just like playing for Heyfield Cricket Club, but with one catch – he’s not allowed to use his hearing aids, as per Series rules.

Morgan is fully verbal and his hearing aids allow him to listen with little to no hindrance, meaning that he hasn’t needed to communicate with signlanguage like many in the deaf community.

Even so, he doesn’t believe this will present a problem when playing in Brisbane.

“Setting fields I think would be challenging, but I’m wicketkeeper so it doesn’t really affect me,” he said.

“All the basic skills of cricket you don’t need hearing for.”

The International Cricket Inclusion Series officially begins tomorrow, and will consist of five Twenty20 and three one-day matches over the next fortnight.

Walk raises more than $11,000

THE Lions Club of Stratford had a fundraising walk for the Black Dog Institute on Saturday, May 14.

The walk was from the Stratford Recreation Reserve to Briagolong Recreation Reserve (20km in total).

The event was organised by Lion Cal, Tegan, family, friends and members of the Lions Club of Stratford to make this a very successful day.

More than 100 people gathered at the Stratford Recreation Reserve, from 7.30am, registrations and selling of raffle tickets were the main activities as people waited for the start of the walk at 8.30am.

The walk got underway after Councillor Carmel Ripper gave a short speech wishing all participants a safe journey.

The walkers set off behind flashing lights and were followed by flashing lights.

A courtesy bus, from the Briagolong Hotel,

brought up the rear to take on board any who had enough of walking.

Three checkpoints gave the walkers water and a rest on seating provided.

Cal and son Mason, 11, completed the walk in 3.5 hours with Mason having to run most of the way.

At the end of the walk, the raffle was drawn at the Briagolong Hotel with more than 30 prizes.

Cal and Tegan were hoping to raise about $6000.

But, thanks to donations on the day, online donations and the raffle, more than $11,300 was raised.

They are already planning the event for next year.

“On behalf of the Lions Club of Stratford we would like to thank all those who took part in the walk, those who donated and the organisations who provided the raffle prizes,” Stratford Lions Club president Paul Wager said.

More than 100 people took part in the fundraising walk from Stratford to Briagolong on May 14, raising $11,300 for the Black Dog Institute.

CASEY Tomamichael is lighting the path to a brighter, more prosperous future for those living with barriers with the support of Marie Bryant from Workways Australia and Sale Specialist School principal Jamie Gay. Year 12 is an exciting time for many Australian children.

The future tickles the end of stretched out fingertips. Opportunities and experiences are seemingly plentiful, and newfound independence is tantalising.

However, the future beyond Year 12 can seem much less opportunistic for those living with barriers.

The number of Australians living with a disability furthering their education beyond Year 12 has increased over the years with the support of government grants, such as the Higher Education Disability Support Program.

However, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, only 9 per cent of people living with a disability aged 15–64 studied for a non-school qualification at TAFE or university in 2018.

These numbers represent the significant number of men and women missing an opportunity to grow, learn and develop in adulthood.

Casey, a vibrant young woman who lives with an intellectual disability, completed her final year of secondary education at Sale Specialist School in November 2021.

Six months before completing Year 12, Sale Specialist School principal Jamie Gay introduced Casey to Marie Bryant from Workways’ Disability Employment Services.

Ms Bryant has had more than 30 years of experience in community services and is working hard to fight the stigma surrounding disability and create more opportunities for those with barriers.

Through her position at Workways, Marie strives to change the attitudes of employers, parents and education providers to give Australians like Casey every opportunity to lead a bright and fulfilling future.

In late 2021, Ms Bryant made the trip to Sale Specialist School, prospecting for new clients to support through Workways Disability Employment Services Program.

School principal, Mr Gay, thought of Year 12 student Casey.

Casey harbours a passion and love for the outdoors and has always wanted to pursue a career in Horticulture.

Ms Bryant’s visit could not have come at a better time as Mr Gay wished to organise a traineeship for Casey; however, he was uncertain how to initiate a traineeship for his nature-loving student.

Paying respects on Sorry Day Tom Parry

Kayla Kennedy-Hills, Sandra Nielson and Uncle John Gorrie PSM at Ramahyuck’s Nation Sorry Day event.

NATIONAL Sorry Day 2022 was observed last week with a moving event at Ramahyuck’s Noel Yarram (Snr) Centre.

Held annually on May 26, the day acknowledges the strength and resilience of Stolen Generations survivors, who were forcibly removed from their families as children.

For Ramahyuck chairperson Sandra Nielson, the occasion brings with it strong emotions.

“I had a sister taken away as a two-year-old from her mother, and there was no reconnection until she was 18 years old,” Ms Nielson said.

“It affected her, and it affected her kids, and it’s affected the grandkids.”

While Sorry Day can be one of grief for many First Nations people, Ms Nielson acknowledged that it can also be a time for healing.

“It also gets other people understanding what the Stolen Generation was about, because they only hear those words – they don’t understand what it is,” Ms Nielson said. “(Sorry Day) is our day of talking to people and letting them know what (those words) really meant, and what it really meant to the Aboriginal people.”

The Ramahyuck event began at 11am with a minute’s silence, followed by brief speeches from Ms Nielson, Kayla Kennedy-Hills and Uncle John Gorrie PSM, himself a survivor of the Stolen Generation.

Tears welled as Mr Gorrie discussed being separated from his mother, highlighting the trauma that survivors continue to carry with them several decades after their forced removal.

Afterwards, attendees were encouraged to inscribe their name, artwork and messages of support into a picnic table.

“It’ll have Sorry Day written on it, and then lacquered of course, just to remind everyone that there’s a place to come and sit at that table,” Ms Nielson explained.

“But when anyone does sit there, it’s reminding them of the Sorry Day, so the message (of the day) is out there the whole time.”

National Sorry Day marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week, and coincides with the anniversary of the 1967 federal referendum, which saw Australians vote overwhelmingly to

Flight Lieutenant Aimee McCartney signs the Sorry Day table. reject discrimination of Indigenous peoples in the constitution.

In recent times, the day has also acknowledged the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, delivered by Kevin Rudd in 2008.

Ms Nielson said that Mr Rudd’s apology “brought it home to everybody that someone is finally listening.”

“Everyone is grateful for Kevin Rudd – we don’t know if a lot has changed over the time since he said (the apology), but for the Aboriginal people it is really powerful,” she said.

Her sentiments were echoed by Mr Gorrie, who

Photos: Tom Parry

described Mr Rudd as his hero – “I think he’s been a hero to many Stolen Generation people.”

Both Ms Nielson and Mr Gorrie expressed a desire to see greater public recognition for Sorry Day, with the latter suggesting a flyover by the RAAF Roulettes at future events.

This was received enthusiastically by the RAAF East Sale members in attendance – including Group Captain Nigel Ward – who committed their full approval to the suggestion.

Reconciliation Week officially concludes this Friday, June 3.

VICTORIAN Nationals leader Peter Walsh on Tuesday reaffirmed the Party’s position supporting the target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The confirmation came a day after the federal leader of The Nationals, Barnaby Joyce, signalled the party may drop their commitment to net zero.

Queensland senator Matt Canavan called net zero a “failed agenda”.

Reflecting after the Coalition’s election loss, Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester disagreed with Senator Canavan’s view.

“It was simple and devastatingly effective to say a voter for those moderate Liberals was a vote for ‘dinosaurs’ in the Nationals who didn’t believe in climate change,” he said.

Mr Walsh said in a media release that regional Victorians expect their representatives to drive a policy agenda that actively tackles climate change, for a sustainable future for regional communities and our world-leading food and fibre sector.

“We believe that continuing to take action now will secure a more prosperous, productive and profitable future for our farmers and those

businesses along the supply chain that rely on a thriving agriculture sector to survive,” he said.

“Scientists have long warned that climate change is already pushing us down a path of more extreme weather events where we have more intense rainfall and longer periods of drought.

“The Victorian Nationals do not support any watering down of our nation’s climate change targets and remain committed to implementing measures to achieve net zero by 2050.

“Despite its big claims on climate action, the Andrews Labor government has axed more than 100 jobs at AgVic, including scientists working in soil sciences, genomics and plant sciences, and animal production.

“While regional Victorians continue to call for more action on climate change, we should be accelerating our efforts in research and development. This is exactly the wrong time for the Labor government to be cutting our capacity to carry out crucial research on more advanced farming practices and new sustainable technologies.”

Rick’s life on stage Stefan Bradley

LATE, Late At Night, a play celebrating Rick Springfield, is coming to the Stratford Courthouse Theatre on Saturday, June 3.

Written by award-winning Australian playwright, Kieran Carroll, Late, Late At Night is a new stage adaptation of Rick Springfield’s 2010 memoir of the same name.

Self-penned, the memoir is written (except for the opening chapter) in chronological form from the 1950s through to 2010.

The work traces Springfield’s Australian and British childhood, his early music days in Australia, his rollercoaster ride in 1970s America and the huge pop and acting successes of the 1980s.

This is followed by his fall from public view, his mental health demise, and finally, the resurrection of Rick Springfield as an artist in the 21st century.

The aim of this biographical and musical stage adaptation – much like the result of the memoir – is to go far beyond Rick’s popular pop image or what he is best remembered for on the 1980s pop charts.

This stage adaptation captures the heart and essence of Springfield’s major concerns and musings: depression, God, no God, his parents, self-motivation, a long sustaining career, love versus sex, music versus acting, his wife and sons, the way America shaped him and what he left behind in Australia as he built his career to lead the seemingly glamorous and not-so-glamorous expatriate life.

This play adaptation is written as a two act, one-man work. Springfield moves between the text and the songs throughout.

Mr Carroll told the Gippsland Times that he contacted Rick Springfield’s management after reading the autobiography to propose a stage adaptation.

“Permission was granted and I began

working on the play in 2018. It’s been a longish but very good process,” Mr Carroll said.

“Both Rick and his management were very helpful and supportive with my endeavours. The show is starting in Victoria, going to NSW and we eventually hope to take it to America.

“I was well aware of Rick Springfield’s 80s successes and had followed more recent work. Before writing the play, I was less au fait with his 70s albums but I did know Zoot, the 60s band he had with Darryl Cotton and Beeb Birtles. He’s had 22 solo albums and my admiration for his work ethic has grown and grown. He’s an Australian star, 17 Top 40 US hits, but this is not widely known in Australia.

“Rick hasn’t seen the show yet. The video is on the way! We are right at the beginning of the touring so I’m looking forward to his thoughts. He has read the script though and likes it very much.

There are no changes from the book.

It’s a very accurate mirroring of the autobiography.”

Performing the role of Rick Springfield in the play will be Sydney pop singer and actor Jackson Carroll (no relation to Kieran Carroll).

“Jackson has a fantastic voice, similar looks, fine acting skills and like Springfield, a great work ethic.

Jackson does an incredible job with a demanding role and the audience gets 20 great Springfield songs across his vast career during the two-hour, ten-minute performance,” Mr Carroll said.

“It will be a great night and grab your tickets early! I am sure they will go fast if the other show sales are any indication.

“The Stratford Courthouse Theatre is a perfect space and size for a one man performance and we were very keen to bring the show to Gippsland. The venue also has a lot of old world charm. I kind of imagine Zoot playing there in about 1970!”

Bond Street preparing me th his June for busy tim Tom Parry

WITH the pandemic subsiding and life returning to a relative normality, the Bond Street Event Centre is set to have a bumper June.

Manager David Willington has announced that the venue will restart its regular poetry nights from Thursday, June 16.

“The poetry nights are great opportunity for budding poets to test their poetry on a friendly, supportive crowd,” Mr Willington said.

“The nights also provide people who are new to poetry to gain valuable performance experience and to meet with other like-minded people.”

The announcement has made been made following great public interest in the poetry nights returning to the venue, which ceased running during the pandemic.

Initially facilitated by local poet Ella Anderson, the events have been known to offer a wide variety of content, ranging from videos of beat poets to classic literature, bush poetry to contemporary works.

According to Mr Willington, the latter works could be quite abstract and obscure.

“Some of it’s pretty edgy, maybe sometimes it gets to boundaries of good taste; but I think most people would know that there’s a boundary, so they don’t tend to cross it,” Mr Willington said.

“That’s what contemporary poetry’s about, in a way – provoking and pushing the boundaries a bit, but not too much.”

The Centre plans to hold regular poetry recitals on the third Thursday of every month, with each recital beginning at 7pm.

Entry is $5 and a light supper will be provided.

In the more immediate future, the venue will be staging its second Art Extravaganza this Friday, June 3.

The event will feature music from two local artists, Gerry Laughton and John Boyle, who will be playing their own original songs.

Mr Laughton, who lives in Maffra, was one of

Play your part in a Wilde play AFTER a successful sell-out season of the musical extravaganza Mamma Mia at The Wedge, Maffra Dramatic Society are gearing up for their next major production of 2022, The Importance of Being Earnest.

A classic comedy written by Oscar Wilde in the late nineteenth century, auditions will be held for the play from 7pm tomorrow (Wednesday, June 1) at the newly relocated and renovated Maffra Neighbourhood House (corner of Thomson and Church Streets, Maffra).

Maffra Dramatic Society president Grant van Brummelen said the production has been a long time in the making.

“We’ve wanted to perform this one for a few years now, so we’re obviously thrilled that the time has come to do Earnest,” he said.

It will also mark the first straight play that Maffra Dramatics has produced since their season of Blithe Spirit in May 2021, which was impacted by not only COVID but the local floods as well.

“It has been a long and tough couple of years for live entertainment and theatregoers, so to get back to doing what we love without too much fear of lockdowns and restrictions is really wonderful,” Mr van Brummelen said.

The Importance of Being Earnest follows two young men who have taken to bending the truth in order to put some excitement into their lives.

One has invented a brother, Ernest, whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull life behind, whilst the other decides to take the name Ernest to catch the attention of a young and beautiful ward. Things start to go awry when they end up together in the country and their deceptions are discovered.

The production will be performed on October 14 at Heyfield Memorial Hall, and on October 21 and 22 at The Wedge in Sale.

Mr Boyle is a renowned singer/songwriter who lives in Sale, and has been writing songs off-and-on for more than 40 years.

Both Gerry and John are often seen busking at the clocktower on Raymond Street.

Along with Gerry and John, Ella Anderson will be “Zooming in” with a few poems from Cairns. A raffle, a short trivia quiz on local history and several short, locally-produced home movies will also be featured on the night.

At St Michael’s we know that ‘size matters’. We are a small rural Catholic school and we intentionally keep our class sizes small so that we can provide our students with unique opportunities to grow and excel in a learnercentred environment. Our small size provides the ideal setting to optimise students’ social and emotional growth and it supports high expectations, both in and out of the classroom, as no one can ‘fly under the radar’. Our students are nurtured through the lens of a uniquely Catholic education to be the best they can be. Join us on our Open Days as we celebrate Catholic Education Week.

Our Open Days are from 9.00am – 11.00am on Wednesday, June 1st and Thursday, 2nd June.

GP1626991 43355

Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Sale will celebrate Catholic Education Week from May 27 to June 3, 2022.

Catholic Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the ethos of Catholic schools and highlight the inspiring life of Catholic schools today.

The Diocese of Sale covers 38 Catholic primary schools and seven Catholic secondary schools in south east Victoria from Narre Warren and Cranbourne in the west, Wonthaggi and Philip Island in the south, to Orbost in the east.

Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale Maria Kirkwood said Catholic Schools were flourishing as more families looked for an affordable, quality, faith-based education for their children.

“After two years of COVID disruptions punctuated by lockdowns, remote learning and social distancing, our schools are looking forward to celebrating their achievements through activities, events, and open days following COVID-safe guidelines,” Ms Kirkwood said.

St Patrick's is a school with a rich history, being one of the very early Catholic schools of Gippsland. St Patrick’s first opened in 1864.

In recent years, student numbers have continued to rise, with 158 students currently enrolled at the school, which is an all-time high.

St. Patrick’s is a vibrant school community that prides itself on being a welcoming place. Our school provides a quality education of the whole child by offering a purposeful and challenging curriculum.

The wellbeing of all members of the school community is paramount.

We believe positive relationships that promote respect and inclusion underpin student success at school.

St. Patrick’s is blessed with highly skilled and professional staff who are committed to the learning and wellbeing of all students. The size of our school allows staff to get to know all the students and build positive relationships with them all.

Principal: Mr Joel Brayshaw Phone: 51 456463 Email: principal@stpstratford.catholic.edu.au GP1642286

“This year’s theme for Catholic Education Week, is ‘Go out into the world and spread the Good News to all creation’, from the Gospel of Mark 16:15, and our schools are currently living this call in many ways. The Good News theme is a call for all members of a school community to enact a vision for a better world, one where people can live in harmony with each other and with, in response to the call of Pope Francis, the environment.”

“The theme also reflects the core purpose of Catholic education which is to nurture the potential of each child, and develop their knowledge and skills to become compassionate and contributing members of society.”

“I hope that staff, students, families and parishes enjoy this special time and that our schools continue to be places where children are able to reach their full potential.

“Catholic Education Week is a highlight of the year for the Diocese of Sale, as the broader Catholic education community comes together to celebrate our Catholic identity and unique mission.”

Sequel sticks the landing

Paramount’s latest highflying blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick has finally landed in theatres. Our resident film buffs Tom Parry and Stefan Bradley went to check it out.

TP: This is a sequel three decades in the making, its release delayed by the pandemic; Stefan, what did you think of the final product?

SB: I watched the original Top Gun, released in 1986, for the first time literally two hours before we saw Maverick at the Sale Cinema. It was as if I was watching two parts of a four-hour epic, rather than reuniting with a world I remember from my childhood. There’s been a lot of these sequels of movies from decades past, like Mad Max: Fury Road, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Blade Runner 2049, David Gordon Green’s Halloween and this one. Sequels can often be a waste of time, but I thought this movie was really good.

It sees Phil “Maverick” Mitchell return to Top Gun to train a new generation of pilots. Maverick still loves the rush of flying, and has not settled down with a family; he’s a middle-aged man who won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Tom Cruise sells this character, because he’s been in Mission: Impossible and these other movies doing crazy reallife stunts, so I don’t think there’s many actors in their late 50s who could do an authentic performance like this.

TP: It certainly wouldn’t be as enjoyable with a different actor.

I mean, Tom Cruise is one of the last true movie stars – he’s one of very few actors whose name alone can draw an audience, and watching Maverick, you can see why.

SB: It’s just what he does. And in this movie, there are a lot of practical effects – physical stunts, air combat, aerial flight sequences – you really feel it. The plot centres on Maverick, obviously heavily affected by what happened 36 years prior – a major tragedy that happens in the first movie – so he wants all these pilots to not suffer the same fate during the upcoming mission. It’s edge-of-your-seat stress because you’re hoping that they all get out in one piece.

Miles Teller as Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick

TP: Now, my memory is kind of hazy; is Penny the same character played by Kelly McGillis in the original Top Gun? SB: No! That’s Charlie, who doesn’t seem to exist in this movie, and they make no reference to her. I assume that she’s moved on with her life.

Top Gun: Maverick is screening at Sale Cinema. Images: Paramount Pictures

TP: The first Top Gun was really a hangout movie – there wasn’t really any huge stakes involved; whereas here in the sequel, the stakes aren’t just high, they’re VERY high, practically and emotionally.

SB: For sure! And this is where Maverick has a more engaging plot than the first movie, which is as you say, just a bunch of people hanging out and having a series of training exercises. There are similarities here – most of Maverick is training exerciises, but it’’s lead ding up to a fii final mission. And An n I thou ught all the young new cast mem mbers were

Page 14 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 31 May, 2022

strong – they established their personalities early on, so you know who’s who.

TP: A lot of the characters were carbon-copies though. I mean, Glen Powell’s character is more or less “Iceman” from the first movie, right?

SB: Yeah, that right. Maverick’s love interest was an interesting one, because unlike the romance in the last film, their relationship doesn’t really connect with the central storyline. They could have done th he moviie wiith hout Penny, and d it probably would have worked out fii fine.

TP: Anyhow, despite that lapse of knowledge, I do count myself a fan of the original, and when I saw the opening few minutes of Maverick I did think to myself, ‘Oh no, it’s a shot-for-shot retelling of Ridley Scott version’ – it has the exact same opening text in the exact same font, the exact same shots of jet fighters on aircraft carriers and the exact same Harold Faltermeyer soundtrack.

But then it morphed into a completely different screenplay after that, which I appreciated.

And, dare I say it, Maverick is better than its predecessor.

SB: I have to agree with you. The soundtrack is really good in this one too – they obviously take some motifs from the original, and they build on that.

TP: Yes, they sample the first movie’ss score, throw in a few retro hits ass well, but also add some new pop songs too. It’s

a pretty good soundtrack – I think I might buy it!

SB: Of course, the best part is the flight sequences, and they were absolutely awesome.

TP: 99 per cent of which are practical!

SB: And they are better than last time, which is hardly faint praise – those scenes from the original film still hold up today! So if you want a really good action movie that’s a bit old-school, if you have your Top Gun VHS lying around I’m sure you’ll enjoy this. And even new fans.

TP: It’s definitely a popcorn movie, but the emotional moments hit so much harder, especially the scenes with Val Kilmer’s character – I don’t want to spoil them, but I shed a tear or two when I saw those.

SB: And let’s not forget the scenes involving Goose’s son, Rooster as well.

TP: So to summarise, music is great, action sequences are incredible, performances are wonderful and we definitely recommend Top Gun: Maverick – especially if you’re a member of the Roulettes!

Top Gun: Maverick is rated M for viiollence and d coarse langu guage, u and is currently screening at Sale Cinema.

Ambitious project at Perry Bridge THE problems of climate change and biodiversity loss are now widely recognised.

Many farmers around Australia are helping to address these problems through planting of trees, or at least conserving already treed areas on their properties.

On one small (80 hectare) property at Perry Bridge, an ambitious revegetation project is under way.

The intention is to redevelop the entire property as a haven for native flora and fauna, while greatly increasing its capacity for carbon storage.

The property, known as “Fernlea”, is owned by Canberra couple Allan and Wendy Hahn.

It was purchased by Mr Hahn’s ancestors in 1888 and has been in the family ever since.

The couple visit Gippsland regularly to work on the project, but have also engaged a small Paynesville-based company, Gondwanan Ecosystems Management, to pursue activities on a day-to-day basis.

The project began in earnest in mid-2018, when a decision was made to de-stock the property, which had long been used for cattle agistment.

Gondwanan Ecosystems Management principal Hagan Brightman notes there are significant challenges involved.

“Historically, the property has been over-cleared and over-grazed by cattle, and this has favoured establishment of invasive weeds,” Mr Brightman said.

“We’re now seeking to eliminate the weeds and replace them with native vegetation that once typified the area.”

For environmental reasons, an effort is being

Planting day on the Hahns’ property at Perry Bridge. made to achieve weed elimination without using chemical herbicides.

Burning off, followed by direct seeding, has been partly successful, but manual digging out of weeds seems to be producing the best long-term results.

Phillip Fleming 0498 242 421

Wayne McKay 0419 486 282

The problem is that it’s a slow and labourintensive task.

Mr Hahn, who has a 40-year history as a scientist in Australia’s high-performance sports system, believes that it’s as physically hard as many sports, and even suggests that there may be scope for development of an “enviro-sports” movement.

During the past four years, about 4,000 seedlings have been planted on the property, with some of the earliest plantings having now become trees of more than two metres in height.

In addition, since the de-stocking of the property, quite a few native plants have appeared spontaneously.

“We’re acting on a theory that the native plants will gradually modify the soil in ways that will make it less hospitable to invasive weeds,” Mr Brightman explained.

“If that proves correct, the need for manual weed removal will gradually diminish.”

To monitor the effects of the project, regular plant, bird and frog surveys are being conducted.

So far, over 40 native plant species have been recorded, including the slender wire lily, which is rare in Victoria.

Mr Brightman said that last spring, the display of

wildflowers on the property was truly spectacular.

Almost 50 bird species have been documented, along with six frog species, and there have been some interesting sightings of reptiles and insects.

It is expected that species diversity will increase as the project progresses.

The Hahns have ambitions for the property to become a site for the controlled re-introduction of locally extinct species, but Wendy Hahn acknowledges there is still a long way to go.

“The long-term vision is to plant around 50,000 seedlings, ideally within the next four to five years,” Mrs Hahn said.

“After the 2019-20 bushfires, tube stock became hard to get, because available supplies were needed for forest regeneration.

“We purchased all we could, but also started growing plants from seed in our own suburban garden, for later transport to the property.

“Several family members and friends are now doing likewise, and we’re trying to recruit more people to help us in this way.”

For anyone interested in the project, an Open Day will be held on the property on Saturday, June 18.

Pull on your boots and join the Ensay ute drive

IT’S not quite the scale of the Deni Ute Muster, but Agriculture Victoria and the Gippsland Agricultural Group are looking forward to seeing lots of boots on the ground at the Ensay Ute Drive on Tuesday, June 7.

Producers are invited to join the ute drive, which will take a tour of two local pasture demonstration sites, then finishing at the Ensay CFA shed with a discussion on sheep health, worm issues and drench strategies for both beef and sheep.

Agriculture Victoria Livestock Industry

development officer Janice Dowe said the ute drive will start at Agriculture Victoria’s Weed Warriors Demonstration site and then move to Gippsland Agricultural Group’s ‘Sowing the Gap’ site.

“Pasture weeds, soil health and grazing management will be discussed at the Weed Warriors Site,” Ms Dowe said.

“The discussion will focus on identifying weeds that are currently growing in pastures and look at how best to improve their control.

“At the ‘Sowing the Gap’ site, discussion will be

around the fodder species being trialed as options for filling winter feed gaps in the district.”

Ms Dowe said presenters at the ute drive include Agriculture Victoria livestock officers Nick Linden and Fiona Baker, S&WSeedCo agronomist Nicole Frost, and VIRBAC Gippsland representative Sam Parish.

Topics to be discussed include:  Weed management from a pasture perspective  Soil fertility and nutrient budgeting

 Weed Warriors and Sowing the Gap Projects  Factors affecting lamb survival

 Best practice drench management (focusing on local case studies).

The ute drive is on Tuesday, June 7 from 1pm-5pm.

Victorian Farmers Federation livestock president and East Gippsland sheep producer Steve Harrison said stopping exports out of Western Australia would have a flow-on effect into Victoria.

“It certainly would and I can’t emphasise this enough,” Mr Harrison said.

“If, or when, it does get banned a large majority of stock from WA originally destined for export will make their way to the eastern states for processing.

This is a given.

“This extra stock coming into Victoria will put pressure on our prices as producers.”

The new federal Labor government had made a vague commitment to phase out the $136 million industry in consultation with farmers and the West Australian government, but has set no timeline.

Western Australia accounts for the majority of the country’s live sheep exports, and sent one million live sheep mostly to Kuwait, Qatar and Jordan in 2019.

The Middle East also purchases Australian frozen or chilled sheep meat, with a substantial growth in the export of chilled lamb in the past decade.

But Mr Harrison said there was still a “clear advantage” for producers to sell their stock on the live export market.

“Exporting animals also means more capacity to sell animals domestically. Everyone is working hard to maintain good prices and this is why we can’t afford to lose exports markets,” he said.

“If we did, sheep bred in WA would come here even with high transport costs and this would be on going as it’s more economical to get them processed here.”

Mr Harrison pointed to the industry’s welfare standards which are regulated with transport density limits in place and standards in

international abattoirs. Shipments of sheep to the Middle East have been stopped during the hottest periods of the northern hemisphere summer.

“The industry has cleaned up a lot, there has not been a welfare concern on a boat in a number of years,” he said.

National Farmers’ Federation president Fiona Simson accused Labor of being “beholden to a small, uninformed minority made up of radicals who invade farms and steal animals”.

Ms Simson said Australia’s live sheep exports needed to fundamentally improve and it had.

“It sends a shiver down the spine of all farmers about the precedent it sets. If live sheep exports can be so easily be written off, what’s next?” Ms Simson said.

“It’s industry who Labor should listen to when it comes to the welfare of farm animals, not city-based minority radicals.”

EAST Gippsland football is just getting harder and harder to predict.

While pundits have become accustomed to upsets and surprises in recent weeks, most would have surely been amazed at what transpired on the weekend.

It is unlikely anyone thought Wy Yung would beat Paynesville by over 100 points - and they did.

Not many thought Stratford would beat Lindenow - they did, and by 73 points at that.

No one thought Lucknow and Orbost Snowy Rovers would tie - and sure enough they did.

Then there was a three-point margin in the match between Lakes Entrance and Boisdale-Briagolong.

Talk about a season full of twists and turns.

The fall-out means there are now four teams from third to sixth on the ladder all on equal points.

Amazingly, the team coming third-last is only one win off second.

Granted there is still a lot of football to be played, if things continue on the current trend, whoever misses finals could count themselves unluckier than Brad Hodge at the selection table.

STRATFORD emerged as the big winners from Round 8.

The Swans took care of Lindenow to record their best win for the season.

Playing at home, Stratford led at every change to win 15.11 (101) to 4.4 (28).

The win was super-important in the context of the Swans season given the incredible evenness of the competition.

Stratford climbed back into the top four as a result, but having defeated a Lindenow team who is still outright second on the ladder, the victory means it could be the difference in staving off other finals challengers during the rest of the campaign.

The Swans set up their win during the second term.

While they only kicked two goals, they also kept the Cats to just a single behind, meaning they were able to establish a handy 19-point lead at half-time.

From there, Stratford broke away, kicking four goals to one in the third and then blowing it right open in the last with six goals to one.

All in all, a 10 goal to two second half told the story.

Regan Tait was best for the red and white, along with Tim Hawkins who kicked six majors. Jack Bacon and Haydn Erfurth also got among the goal kickers, scoring three apiece.

The sight of Erfurth back inside 50 for the first time this season would have been much welcome for Stratford, and officials will be hoping the noted goal kicker can commit to playing on a more permanent basis.

Nick French was another that played well in the win, as did Lincoln Toner.

Best for Lindenow was Justin Gould, Matt Irish, Jack van Reyk, Cooper Shaw, Kevin Bongers and Bayley Croucher.

BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG lost a thriller to Lakes Entrance.

The travelling Bombers threw everything they had at the Seagulls, but it wasn’t enough in a 9.9 (63) to 8.12 (60) defeat.

Combatants were virtually neck-and-neck

Nick French was one of Stratford’s most prominent players in the Swans crucial win over Lindenow at the weekend.

Photo: File for the entire match, with the biggest margin at any of the breaks 10 points.

Boisdale-Briagolong took that 10 point advantage into quarter time, before Lakes Entrance hit back to lead by a goal when teams retreated for the sheds.

The match followed a similar script on the resumption, only this time, it was the Bombers who led by a goal with one quarter to play.

Momentum ebbed and flowed in the last, but ultimately, Boisdale-Briagolong had to make do with running second in a game that genuinely could have gone either way.

Brendon Rathnow was again in the best for the red and black, while Andrew Quirk, Matt Wilkinson, Jim Reeves, Byron Sandeman and Rhys Johnson put in good performances.

Angus McKenzie, Liam Carroll, Fraser Dostine, Harvey Geier, Derek Steedman and Jordan Cullen were best for the winners.

For all their effort, the Bombers didn’t walk away with any premiership points, which means their task at climbing the ladder is just made all the more difficult.

Boisdale-Briagolong is anchored in seventh, two wins behind Lakes Entrance.

LUCKNOW salvaged a draw against Orbost Snowy Rovers.

The Magpies pecked away at a 17-point deficit at three quarter time, but had to make do with seeing scores all tied up at 11.15 (81) when the final siren sounded.

For the Blues, it was certainly an opportunity that went begging, having led at every change, but only managing one goal in the last quarter.

Hamish Nettleton was immense for the Blues, kicking five goals, while Matthew Rogers kicked four.

Luke Belfrage and Damian Hodder were best for Lucknow.

The Magpies would have gone to equal second on the ladder if they won, and the Blues would have chalked up their second win for the season.

In case it wasn’t clear already - no one is safe this year in East Gippsland football.

WY YUNG dismantled Paynesville with surprising ease.

The Tigers were rarely challenged on the Gulls’ home deck, winning 23.17 (155) to 8.6 (54).

Having been earmarked as a dark horse this season, the result certainly meant Paynesville came back to Earth with an almighty thud.

The Gulls not only lost some pride, but dropped out of the top four after the heavy defeat.

Jack Vickers, Liam Rooney, Jock Overend, Bradley Daniel and Bayden Ashwood did the job for the Tigers.

Alex McLaren, Beau Haslam, David Ashworth, Lewis Hoffman, James Farquhar and Ashley O’Connor battled hard for Paynesville.

Traralgon Marathon takes place this Sunday Liam Durkin

Traralgon Harriers members Tim Bye, Mandy Ellis, president Phill Mayer, Ann Bomers and Steve Renehan are looking forward to another great Traralgon Marathon.

THE stage is set for the Traralgon Marathon.

The Traralgon Harriers marquee event will see runners take their marks this Sunday for what will be the marathon’s 54th instalment.

Participants will set off from the Traralgon Vineyard, and put their best foot forward along an ‘out and back’ course on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail.

The full marathon goes all the way out to Toongabbie, and then turns around.

As well as the full marathon, the day will also include a half-marathon and 10 kilometre fun run.

While the full and half-marathon will no doubt carry a competitive element, Harriers president Phill Mayer said the event was as much about community and seeing people complete what they set out to achieve.

“We call ourselves ‘the friendly marathon’, it is really welcoming for people who haven’t perhaps done this sort of event before to come along and be supported,” he said.

“Everybody has a different reason for running a marathon or a half-marathon. Some people are

just out there plodding along and they want to complete their first marathon and others are out there to smash a fantastic time.

“It doesn’t matter why you are here, the important thing is just competing and participating.”

The Traralgon Marathon is steeped in history, and proudly holds the title of the oldest continuous marathon in Australia.

“People generally come from right across Australia to be part of the Traralgon Marathon.

It has really attracted some great runners over the years and we have some fantastic runners in the club, so we are looking forward to seeing some fantastic times over the marathon,” Mayer said.

Harriers member Zack Beasley is tipped to be among the top finishes in the men, while last year’s women’s winner Narelle Crozier could again come from the clouds.

Fellow Harriers member Steve Renehan has stepped up as race director, and said all was in readiness to welcome close to 300 participants.

The starter’s gun will go off at 8am for the marathon, with the half-marathon and 10km event to follow at 9am and 10am.

Bombers edge out Wildcats in thriller Scott Berechree A FIVE goal to nil 12-minute burst in the third term was the difference between winning and losing when Traralgon Tyers United took on Woodside in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League match of the round.

While the home team Bombers led at quarter time by four points, the margin would have been much greater if not for some straight forward misses in front of goal.

The Bombers Mitch Mustoe, Jye Neilson and Ben Northover were all guilty of missing shots players of that calibre would normally slot and when Wildcat David Waddell slotted his second of the quarter after a free kick in the square things were much tighter on the scoreboard than they probably should have been as the first term ended.

Liam Willaton, standing alongside Woodside’s Lee Stockdale at stoppages, was in everything for TTU along with Neilson and Kade Duncan.

For Woodside it was Ryan Foat and Waddell leading the way early.

Foat was clearly beating Rowan Hore in the ruck however TTU still managed to win plenty of stoppages and set up scoring opportunities.

The second quarter was all Woodside.

The visitors took a near on three goal advantage into the long break.

Michael O’Sullivan goaled at the five minute mark after a strong grab and when Stockdale went forward he slotted a left foot banana at the nine minute mark before setting up Jai Williams with an outstanding pass.

When Williams kicked truly the players came from everywhere to celebrate the young fella’s first goal in senior footy and all the momentum was with the Wildcats.

As the half-time siren sounded things got somewhat heated with several players coming together to offer each other some advice.

Even members of the coaching staff took the opportunity to provide directions on how to find the relevant change rooms.

The temperature in the home team’s room certainly didn’t subside during the break with Bombers coach Jamie Aitken reading the riot act to his team.

Whatever it was he asked certainly worked as it was a Bomber blitz to start the third term. Stuart Goddard started things off with a piece of individual brilliance that saw his left foot dribbler duck and weave left then right like it was remote controlled before ultimately rolling though the middle of the big sticks.

Then it was the skippers turn, Neilson’s goals at the fifth and 13-minute marks came from strong grabs and with Jayden Cutts going bang bang either side of Neilson’s second the Bombers had flipped the game on its head. They’d gone from three goals down to two up in the space of a dozen minutes.

To their credit though the Wildcats steadied and snagged the last two majors of the term through Stockdale and Waddell.

With spot fires again breaking out across the ground it was a much needed threequarter time siren that sounded.

The scoreboard showed a two-point lead to TTU that came on the back of some of the best footy played in the NGFNL this season.

The move of Zach Kilgower to the front half provided an extra option for the Bombers and freed up Neilson and Hore to roam far and wide.

Dougal Williams and Duncan provided plenty of run and carry on the outside for the home side with Willaton and Mustoe doing the grunt work.

For the visitors the Waddell boys in David and Brett were in everything as was Josh Scott.

The move of Stockdale into the forward 50 arc provided plenty of spark and all was set for a titanic last quarter.

When Neilson slammed home the first goal of the last quarter after just 90 seconds of play the game had a similar feeling to it as the start of the third.

This time however Woodside put the slows on the home side and slotted two of the next three.

First it was Foat who goaled from long range and then O’Sullivan who had threatened to take mark of the year half a dozen times finally held onto one and then kicked truly.

Twenty two minutes gone, the travelling side had the lead and the momentum but TTU co-captain Mustoe was having none of it.

Heyfield young gun Liam Heasley has been part of the Kangaroos recent resurgence.

Heyfield has added some new players and boosted its percentage significantly in the last two weeks.

Photo: File Noted as quiet in the first half, Mustoe stepped up when it mattered and asserted himself on the game when it was there to be won.

He was pivotal in a last quarter that could have gone either way, his goal at a key point in play was the icing on the cake.

When Goddard, who looks like he has borrowed his haircut from John Rambo, followed up with his second goal at the 24-minute mark TTU led by eight points and looked safe.

A couple of rushed behinds to Woodside saw the draw come into play with seconds left on the clock but TTU managed to control the tempo for the last few moments of the game and held on for a six point win 10.9 (69) to 9.9 (63).

Both Willaton lads in Liam and Hayden were good for TTU with the former arguably just BOG over skipper Neilson.

Neilson this year is stamping himself as a real leader and one of the best players in the competition.

Hore toiled all day in the ruck and Michael Jacobsen, while not having one of his more dominant 40 possession games, was all class when he was involved.

Scott was excellent for Woodside and Stockdale showed his class. Ben Johnson stood tall across the back line and both the Waddells and both Morgans (Jeremy and Josh) were also solid contributors.

IN other games a ridiculously inaccurate Churchill managed to get the points over Sale City.

Any time you are generating 42 scoring shots you are doing something right but when the final score reads 13.29 (107), Tuesday night’s training drills might be fairly obvious.

Ben Kearns, returning after a week off, managed eight for the winners in a best on ground effort.

He was joined by only three others on the goal kicking list with mid-cum-forward Chris Wangman and Chris Williams slotting a pair while Cain Iorangi managed a major also.

The driving wind must have only impacted one end of the ground, the end Churchill was kicking to each quarter, as Sale City managed a more than respectable 11.9 (75).

Adam Gray with three and Ben Britt with a pair were the Bulldogs multiple goal kickers.

Ben Chivers continued his recent run of good form with another solid performance for the tri-colours with Mitch Evans and Bohdi Walker also listed as their better contributors.

SOMEWHAT surprisingly the closest game of the round saw Glengarry welcome Yarram to town.

Recent form might have suggested the Demons would be too strong for the Magpies and that is perhaps how things looked at three-quarter time with Yarram leading by 43 points.

To the home side’s credit though they flew home like Bernborough and failed by a solitary point to chalk up the upset of the year, going down 12.17 (89) to 13.10 (88).

Curiously Yarram had a handful of senior players back-up from the early game and this looked telling late.

Factor in a couple of in-game injuries that meant no midfield rotations and the visitors were out on their feet.

Glengarry took full advantage of this to nearly double their three quarter time score in the last term.

Ironically after all the scoring Glengarry was able to achieve it was the solitary score for Yarram in the last quarter, a behind, that mattered most.

Corbin Sutherland was best for the Demons.

Michael Ryan and Zac Bezzina each kicked four goals for the Magpies, and were well served by Ben Britten, Jesse Lee, Seth Healy and Reagan McDonald.

They do tend to always make things interesting Yarram.

WHILE some big spaces determined the final two games at least one of the vanquished, Gormandale, could point to some improvement from their last outing.

The Tigers lost 18.24 (132) to 5.3 (33), and although going down by 99 points is never going to be a positive, the fact the Tigers managed to kick five majors after going scoreless last week is a plus.

For Rosedale it was Frazar Brouns and Tom Love with five and three goals who did most of the damage.

Isaac Copland kicked three goals to be best on for Gormandale.

THE final game of the round saw Heyfield huge 168-point winners over Cowwarr.

Heyfield fired off a warning shot last week with their 205-point win and backed it up this week with another of similar substance, this time with the scoreboard reading 29.17 (191) to 3.5 (23).

While the opposition sides in the last two weeks may not be up to finals standard, the Kangaroos must now surely be eyeing off a run at the post-regular season.

Their ability to kick a score is beyond doubt, so much interest will centre on Heyfield’s defence in their next few clashes when they meet three of the league’s top four sides.

Jesse Bedggood went large again slotting nine goals with young star Tyson Birss helping himself to five.

All singles for Cowwarr went to Anthony Barrett, Ben Plozza and coach Shane Galea kicking truly.

Kevin Hood was named best for the Saints along with Ben Coffey and Jack Casson.

YALLOURN Yallourn North had the bye, but still retain top spot courtesy of a superior percentage to Churchill and Yarram who both sit on the same number of wins as the Jets.

Maffra forward Daniel Bedggood was back to his best on Saturday, kicking six goals in the Eagles’ win over Warragul.

Spearheads sparkle in Gippsland League Liam Durkin FORWARDS rejoiced in Round 8 of the Gippsland League.

A total of five forwards from three different games all returned bags for their sides, in what was a throwback to a bygone era of those inside 50 getting the ball in their hands more often than not.

Morwell’s Brandon McDonald kicked the most for the day with nine, while Brett Eddy nabbed seven for Traralgon in the same game Brad Dessent kicked just as many for Sale.

Not to be outdone, Daniel Bedggood managed six for Maffra, as did Jed Lamb for Warragul.

MAFFRA stayed in touch with the top five.

The Eagles led from start to finish, defeating Warragul 17.8 (110) to 9.13 (67).

The win was an important one for Maffra’s season, with their ledger now reading 4-4 with one round to play before the mid-season break.

Heading to Western Park, the Eagles had to play with the added pressure of being favourites, but met this expectation head on, opening the game with four goals to two in the first quarter.

From there, Maffra was able to make further inroads, adding four and five goals per quarter for the rest of the game.

Maffra coach Anthony Robbins said the performance was a step in the right direction.

“I was quite pleased with the way we moved the football, it is something we have been working on and we haven’t been as good at early doors, it sort of clicked against Leongatha last week and we continued with that yesterday,” he said.

“They (Warragul) were always pretty competitive and with a guy like Jed Lamb up forward and Nick Graham in the middle you are always going to be a bit concerned about the quality of those guys, with some really good players around them as well, (Mitchell) Smart in the ruck, (Sam) Whibley is a clever player and there are some workmanlike guys like (Mitch) Nobelius.

“It was a pleasing result because it is not easy to go down there, we have struggled there in the past. It was enjoyable to watch the way they (Maffra) played actually - that was key. Scoreboard’s always good of course and you are wanting the four points but to see some of the things we have been working on coming to fruition was really good.”

Robbins praised his troops in what he described as a “real team performance”.

“I felt it wasn’t easy to pick them (best on) yesterday, a few guys had a fair bit of the footy and played their role,” he said.

“Dylan Alexander did a really good job in the middle, everyone is starting to have a bit of an impact.”

Daniel Bedggood’s half a dozen majors saw him listed in the best, along with other Maffra players carrying a fair bit of senior experience in Alexander, Kade Renooy and Josh Davis.

Hudson Holmes was again in the top six and could already have enough votes to take out the club best-and-fairest.

“He (Bedggood) has had a really good year but has had the wobbles in front of goals at times, but yesterday he was certainly on and so were a few other guys and we found some avenues to goal,” Robbins said.

“Huddy has had a few issues with his body, he’s a classy type of player, he has taken a little while to find his feet but is certainly playing good footy for us. He’s also a little bit of a leader on the field now as well which is good.”

The good news kept coming for the Eagles’, with youngster Henry Anderson in the best, to go with Zach Felsbourg who became another product of the club’s junior program to make his senior debut.

Eagles’ defenders Sam Walker and Winston Gieschen spent time on Lamb, and had to work double time after key defender James Read was forced to withdraw due to COVID. The Eagles have put together a solid three weeks, defeating Morwell and Warragul and losing no shortage of admirers going down to Leongatha by only 20 points.

While they might be in a transition phase under Robbins as a first year coach, results this season have proven the Eagles are very much a team you cannot write off - or if you do, it could be at your peril.

Robbins meanwhile seems to already have the coach-media temperament down pat.

“It is a very even competition. We have been solid but that was this week … we’ll see what happens next week,” he said.

Lamb kicked six of Warragul’s nine goals and was best on ground for the home side.

TRARALGON passed a serious litmus test against Sale.

The Maroons broke away in the final quarter at home, winning 14.14 (98) to 12.6 (78).

Spectators were treated to a good old fashioned shootout, as Brett Eddy and Brad Dessent kicked seven each for their respective sides.

Eddy’s haul for the victors backed up his previous round effort of six, and took his tally to a league-high 28.

Dessent was equally damaging for the Magpies, and officials will be hoping it kicks him into gear after a somewhat stop-start 2022 campaign.

Barely anything separated the teams early on, although Traralgon’s inaccuracy in front of the big sticks denied them from taking a further lead than 10 points at the main break.

At that stage the Maroons had kicked 6.12 (48) to 6.2 (38). Traralgon was able to straighten up in the third, adding three goals, while Sale matched that effort, to see only eight points the difference with one quarter to play.

A five goal to three last quarter proved to be enough for the Maroons, as they built on the lead they had created as the ball was thrown up to begin the fourth term.

Traralgon kicked much straighter after half-time, nailing 8.2 (50).

Eddy was best on ground for the winners, and received good support from Luke Johnson, Troy Forrest, Tom Schneider, Tye Hourigan and Haydn Hector.

Dessent was in the best for Sale, as was Jack Leslie, Shannen Lange, Mitch Bown, Harry Ronchi and Kane Martin.

The win was arguably the Maroons best for the season, and further solidified their credentials as a side worthy of finishing in the top three.

Traralgon has now beaten top five sides Wonthaggi and Sale in the last three weeks, and holds third position thanks to a percentage of more than 150.

For Sale, the result was not a hammering blow, and is one the Magpies can certainly make up for at home the next time around.

That Round 17 game could well determine who earns a double chance.

IF anyone out there knows how to beat Leongatha, there are probably nine coaches in the Gippsland League wanting to hear from you.

The Parrots crushed second-placed Moe by 94 points.

For a match between first and second, the contest looked anything but, as Leongatha won 21.12 (138) to 6.8 (44).

At quarter time the score was 39 to two behinds - halfway through the second quarter it was 60 to two behinds.

Moe managed to get some goals on the board in the third, but by then the game was as good as gone.

Trent Baldi persisted all day for the Lions and Matt Heywood put in a determined effort.

Aaron Heppell kicked four in the win to be named best for the Parrots.

So, are Leongatha really that good?

Yes they’re seniors are that good and they’re reserves would be a top three side in North Gippy - there, I said it.

IT was Brandon McDonald’s world on Saturday - we were just living in it.

The Morwell power forward sent through nine of the best to see the Tigers to a commanding 16.17 (113) to 8.8 (56) win over Drouin.

While the scoreboard might have suggested otherwise, Morwell had to dig themselves out of a hole early in the piece, as the visitors jumped to a 25-point lead at the first break.

McDonald took best on ground honours in what could only be described as ‘his day’.

Best for Drouin was Kye Quirk, Ryan Maric and Rhys Salter.

WONTHAGGI did what it needed to do against Bairnsdale.

The Power made it a very long trip home for the Redlegs, winning 14.20 (104) to 7.7 (49).

Aiden Lindsay capped off a great day, kicking four goals in his 150th game for Wonthaggi.

Bairnsdale coach Logan Austin was best for the Redlegs.

Needing something to cheer them up, a number of Bairnsdale players were spotted tucking into Schnitz in Traralgon on the way back.

IN 2020, Maffra Golf Club drew up a strategic plan to plot the direction it would take over the next five years.

One of priorities of the plan was to replace the antiquated watering system.

The original system was installed in 1951, and at that time second-hand asbestos piping was used. Trees have since been planted and these tree roots are continually lifting and breaking the old pipe, which is dangerous and difficult to

The system is all manual and inefficient.

The pump is the same age as the pipes but has been refurbished several times, it is however reaching the end of its life. The club commissioned “Wayswithwater” to draw up plans and provide costings for the project.

Wellington Shire Council provided $5000 to the cost of these drawings. The club will replace the

SALE Croquet Club president Peter Goldstraw won Section 1 of the inaugural Bairnsdale Croquet Club 19 hoop golf-croquet singles tournament at the weekend.

He went through the tournament undefeated but had a great battle with runner-up Richard Hingst, Williamstown, in what proved to be the final game of the weekend.

Both players went into the game undefeated with six wins each.

Goldstraw gained a two hoop break early in the match, but Hingst levelled with scores at nine all, before Goldstraw tapped through the winner on the 19th hoop.

In Section 2, Sale’s Colin Coomber was runner-up to Morwell’s Penny Morrison-McGill.

Coomber was undefeated before his final game against Morrison-McGill who won easily. Both players finished on four wins and a countback of hoops was needed to decide the section winner.

In Section 3, Steven Podolak, Belmont, won from his club mate Gail Knight.

Six Sale players travelled to Bairnsdale to contest the tournament.

This coming weekend Sale will host a golf-croquet doubles tournament at its courts in Guthridge Parade and spectators are welcome.

Sports news or results

Maffra Under-15 players, Gretel Harms and Kate Allen.

MAFFRA and Sale met in a Round 4 local hockey derby on Friday night and Saturday morning.

Most of the matches were tight and tense contests.

On Friday night, the women’s match was a typically intense match with Maffra coming out on top 2-0.

Both teams attacked the goals throughout the game, but Maffra got the scores on the board through Ainsley Butcher and Chloe Lenehan.

The Open match continued the intensity.

In the first-half, Maffra took the lead after 20 minutes from an Angus Neaves penalty corner.

Just as they looked like going into half-time with the lead, Sale equalised when Mark Benfield scored from a penalty on the buzzer.

Sale pushed ahead early in the second-half with

goals from Adam Slattery and Mitch Patterson to lead 3-1.

However, Maffra continued to pressure and Neaves scored his second goal.

Patterson went on to score a second goal to give Sale a 4-2 win.

The Under-13 and Under-15 matches were both very competitive with neither team able to break the deadlock.

Both matches finished goalless.

The Under-18 match was controlled by Maffra from the start, and finished 10-0.

Hamish MacGregor and Nikolas Valette scored four goals each, with Nathan Williamson and Chloe Lenehan scoring one goal each.

United charges to top spot Liam Durkin

The team has dropped just one game from 11 starts, and boasts a percentage north of 130.

GIPPSLAND United men went to the top of the Big V ladder at the weekend.

The men’s side made it back-to-back wins in double header action, making it 10 wins in a row.

On Saturday, United won something of a local derby at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium defeating Pakenham 89-80.

United was made to work hard for the points, shaking off a persistent Pakenham outfit that refused to go away.

The home side led by two points at the final change and finished strongly, scoring 21 points to 14 in the last term.

Major point scorers for United were Brandon Armstrong with 17, Stephen O’Brien (15), Jordan Gooiker (13) and Tom Portbury (12).

O’Brien was productive at both ends, securing eight rebounds.

United backed up its efforts with an 83-78 win over Sherbrooke the following day.

Travelling to Upwey for a top-of-the-table clash, United recovered from a slow start to grind their way to victory.

Armstrong was again prolific, netting 19 points, while Jordan Canovan had six rebounds and five assists.

United has made the greatest possible impression in its first season as a club to sit outright first on the table.

GIPPSLAND United women won their match against Corio Bay 75-63.

The win was an important one in the context of United’s season, who would have identified Corio Bay as a side they will be jostling with for a place in the finals.

United started well, scoring 19 points in the first quarter, and then really got going in the second, netting 18 to 12.

Corio Bay had the better of United in the third, scoring 21 to 19, before the home side finished with 19 points to 14.

Most players on the United roster saw good minutes.

Chloe Hogg shot 20 points and had nine rebounds, while Emily Scholtes was busy, scoring 14 points from 18 and a half minutes of court time.

The win takes United to sixth with a five-win, four loss record.

To its credit, the side has not let the departure of coach Gail Macfarlane derail its campaign.

McFarlane stepped down recently, owning to family, business and Basketball Victoria Performance Pathway commitments.

UNITED are home again this weekend.

The men play Whittlesea and the women will take on Coburg.

Action starts at 6pm.

TWO games were played last Wednesday night with both games drawn; The Drop Kicks and Porky’s game finished at eight-all while the later game between Mustangs and Phoenix was drawn six-all.

Porky’s opened the scoring with a Rushdi Dai try, then The Drop Kicks replied through Andrew Campbell with the scores seesawing between the teams.

At half-time the scores were tied on five.

The second-half opened as in the first with Porky’s opening the scoring this time through Shanna O’Connor with an immediate reply by The Drop Kicks’ Niome Greg.

Leigh Taiapa then made the longest run of the night with a 70m run to give him his second try of the night.

Other scorers for The Drop Kicks were Tawh Ashby, Andrew Campbell, Niome Greig, Henry Ropeti, TJ Sturmey and Nick Elliot.

Rushdi Dai top scored for Porky’s with three classy tries.

Shanna O’Conner played a great game making two. Leigh Mawley, Anthea Todd and Lachlan Young scored one.

This was Young’s first game with the local competition.

Best players were Mawley, Taiapa, Campbell, Anouk Meereboer and Tawh Ashby.

The Mustangs and Phoenix game was even at half-time with the scores locked on five each and in the second half each team added just one to finish at 6-6.

The scorers for Mustangs were Antonio Keedle-Grandeza with two; Patrick Doherty, Jordan Frend, Alex Rennex and Ryan Rosenberger.

Kerry Shotter top scored for Phoenix with two tries.

Kate Laskowski, Lexi Laskowski, Carl Muir and Stewart Kyung each made one.

Best players were Ryan Rosenberger, Keedle-Grandeza, Shotter, Nicola Rosenberger and Kate Laskowski with Lexi Laskowski winning the encouragement award.

The Pink Panthers forfeited their game to Longford Trailer Hire.
