Tom Parry SALE’S local hospital has been gifted with new seating thanks to the efforts of two local organisations.

The wooden bench was gifted to Central Gippsland Health by the Ninety Milers nonprofit group and Fulham Correctional Centre on May 31.

The partnership arose after Ninety Milers facilitator Jan Embling began helping with renovations of the Reflection Garden, located in CGH’s Oncology Ward.

“I had always known there was a workshop out at (Fulham) prison,” Ms Embling said.

“I rang the prison and they said, ‘Yes, they did have a workshop,’ and so I gave them an example of what (furniture) I wanted.”

Aware of the Ninety Milers’ limited budget, staff at Fulham were able to sell the group a refurbished timber seat to the group, as general manager Natalie Greenfield explained.

“We had an old bench stored off-site, and realised this was a great opportunity for some of the men to apply the skills they attained in their Certificate

II Construction course to restore it back to its former glory,” Ms Greenfield said.

Ms Greenfield added that the inmates took great pride in being able to create something meaningful for patients at the local hospital.

“Being able to provide vocational skills training to the men in our custody is an integral part of their rehabilitation and post-release reintegration into the community,” she said Ms Embling said that the Ninety Milers were very pleased to receive the “beautifully refurbished” timber seat.

CGH acting chief executive officer Mandy Pusmucans described the project as a win-win for all involved.

“Not only did it give men at Fulham Correctional Centre the opportunity to hone their skills, but CGH now has a wonderful addition to its Reflection Garden that will be enjoyed by patients and visitors alike,” Ms Pusmucans said.

“I am so proud that partnerships like this exist within our community.

“I would like to thank Fulham Correctional Centre and The Ninety Milers for initiating this worthwhile project that will be at CGH for all to enjoy for many years to come.”

Doubts over Federal Labor support ASH’s Vince Hurley, Timber Towns Victoria’s Karen Stephens and Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester at the timber industry round table in Heyfield.

THE Federal Labor Government’s new Forestry Minister has cast doubts on its stated support for the native forest industry, amidst demands by Member for Gippsland Darren Chester for the Prime Minister to stop the Andrews government closing the native forest sector.

The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Murray Watt told The Australian last week that the government did not yet have a policy on whether native logging should be phased out, as is planned in Victoria and Western Australia.

The former Forestry Minister in the Morrison government, Senator Jonno Duniam, said Senator Watt, on his first day as minister, had broken a key election commitment to back the native timber industry.

Senator Duniam said the former Shadow Agriculture Minister Agriculture Julie Collins had promised that Labor would not shut down native forestry.

Speaking to the Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) election forum on April 27, she told the audience that an Albanese government would back native forestry and there would be no more lock ups, he said.

In Tasmania during the election campaign, a Labor Party campaign spokesman reiterated federal Labor’s commitment to the native timber industry.

“We know the industry supports jobs and assists

the construction sector to provide high-quality products to Australians. Labor is committed to our native forest industry and to growing our plantation industry, as well as further valueadding of Australia’s fine forest products,” the spokesman told The Australian.

Senator Duniam said the Albanese government were clearly abandoning timber workers and already pandering to their Green senate colleagues.

“If the Albanese government support our forest industries, they should be demanding their state counterparts reverse their destructive bans on native forestry and committing to no more shut-downs,” he said.

Mr Chester said the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, had vowed to unite Australians, so should start this process by pressuring the Andrews government to overturn its ridiculous plan to ban native timber harvesting by 2030.

“I urge Mr Albanese to keep his promise and ensure the environmentally-sustainable Victorian native forest industry continues to function with some of the best practices in the world,” Mr Chester said.

Mr Chester said the need for the native timber industry had been shown by the COVID pandemic and Ukraine crisis, which had exposed international supply chain fragilities.

“These demand Australia becomes more selfsufficient and that must include a long-term commitment to a sustainable Victorian hardwood native timber industry,” he said.

“It makes no sense to shut down Victorian forests

and keep importing timber from countries with poorer environmental records.”

With climate change a key issue in the federal election, Mr Chester said a sustainable Victorian hardwood timber industry was part of the answer to reducing Australia’s carbon emissions.

“Timber products sequester carbon in our floorboards, furniture and other timber products.

Re-growing trees can increase and maintain the role of forests as carbon sinks and is the ultimate renewable resource,” he said.

Mr Chester said the skills and equipment of Gippsland timber industry workers helped to keep the community safe during bushfires. ‘ “If the industry is shutdown, they will be lost forever. All of the Black Summer bushfires started on public land that had incredibly high fuel loads after decades of mismanagement due to a chronic lack of staff, resources, and commitment to protecting our communities,” he said.

“We need active forest management in Victoria which allows for multiple uses such as camping, hiking, prospecting, bee-keeping, fishing and a sustainable timber industry.”

Mr Chester said the skills of the timber industry workers should be utilised further to maintain forest access roads and strategic fire breaks around critical assets, like water catchments, towns and highways, with the timber harvested for the benefit of everyone.

Senator Watt, is a former member of the Queensland Parliament and was also chief of staff to former Queensland Premier, Anna Bligh.

Family’s sorrow at a young life cut short Zoe Askew SALE’S Callum ‘Cal’ Wood, 17, was killed in a car crash on May 21, leaving a hole in the hearts of many and becoming a grim warning to all about road safety.

Cal’s father Paul Wood endured the impossible task of burying his second-born son on Friday, as brothers Riley, Owen and Henry said their final goodbyes.

Heartbroken by the sudden loss of their boy, Mr Wood and his partner Maree Cramp are pleading for drivers to slow down and drive to the conditions, especially on rural Gippsland roads.

Mr Wood described the majority of rural roads “in shocking disrepair”.

“It’s about the conditions; especially at night, conditions change all the time,” Mr Wood said.

“I don’t think enough is focused around safety with kids and cars.”

“They get their licence and think they’re invincible,” Ms Cramp said.

“But no one is,” Mr Wood exclaimed.

“They’re driving safe, they’re doing the right thing, but it’s foggy,” Ms Cramp continued.

“They don’t slow down, and things happen.

“It can be anything, rain, fog, sun in your eyes.

“You are not going to be uncool if you slow down five k’s (kilometres) cause your mate’s in the car, cause that is how you are going to get you and your mate home safely.”

Cal is one of 103 Victorians who have lost their lives on the state’s roads this year, with 63 in regional Victoria.

Victoria’s Transport Accident Commission currently records a 17 per cent increase in fatalities on rural roads, with 45 deaths in 2021.

Data from RACV reveals regional road deaths represent around 62 per cent of Australia’s road fatalities, with the Latrobe-Gippsland region accumulating the second-highest rural road death toll in 2020, according to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development.

On the night of Saturday, May 21, Cal was in the passenger seat of his mate’s car, travelling east along Heyfield-Dawson Road after the two had visited KFC in Traralgon.

At approximately 9pm, the vehicle left the road and collided with a tree.

The driver remains in hospital with lifethreatening injuries.

Tragically Cal died at the scene.

On the night of Cal’s accident, a thick fog blanketed the Gippsland region.

Fog is a cloud that touches the ground, forming when water vapour condenses.

Fog such as this reduces visibility, creating dangerous driving conditions.

The lowered contrast caused by the fog distorts the perception of speed.

It causes difficulties distinguishing between a stationary object and a moving one and often causes people to misjudge distance.

The unusual weather condition significantly contributes to motor vehicle accidents across the country and highlights the importance of driving to the conditions.

Mr Wood and his family are pleading for the Gippsland community to drive to the conditions and learn from Cal’s death that the result of not doing so may very well cost more than an insurance claim.

The Wellington Shire road death toll is now three, with the death of a Bairnsdale man in his 20s on January 3 and a Willung South man in his 40s on March 19.

RACV estimates that 80 per cent of Victoria’s regional roads need upgrading, with the increasing number of deaths emphasising the poor conditions of rural Victorian roads.

Victorian Police continue to investigate the accident on Heyfield-Dawson Road.

The Gippsland Times approached Wellington Shire Council for comment regarding regional road conditions.

“Wellington Shire Council extends its sincerest condolences to Cal Wood’s family and friends during this very sad time,” a council spokesperson said.

“It would be inappropriate to make any public comment until the investigation is complete.”

Upon returning from visiting the crash site, Cal’s older brother Riley disclosed details of the Heyfield-Dawson Road to his father.

“Even though it’s a bitumen road, it’s thin and single-laned,” Mr Wood said.

“From what Riley told me, trees are hard up against the road, naturally as it’s in the bush.

There are drop-offs on the side of the road, and there are massive bumps where the railroad crossings are.”

Just 12 weeks ago, not even 30km from the location of Cal’s crash, a 42-year-old Toongabbie man was driving along Glengarry West Road when he ran off the road and collided with a tree.

The man died at the scene.

Mr Wood is among the thousands of Victorians outraged by the conditions of rural roads.

“Road maintenance is awful,” he said.

“If it’s not a highway, every other road around this district is no good.

“I travel 15k’s for work every day on a road that’s as dangerous as buggery. The number of holes, the road’s shape, and the large trees right up against the road’s edge.

“If they do fix the holes, all they do is drive along and just throw a bit of bitumen in the hole.

“They don’t actually fix the road itself. So the roads are shocking; they really are.”

Shadow Minister for Roads Steph Ryan has criticised the dangerous neglect of roads under Labor, including the axing of crucial funds for councils to maintain local roads.

In 2020 road asset maintenance funding was cut by 25 per cent, totalling a total cut of $191 million.

In late April, Ms Ryan told Gippsland media that the under investment in rural road maintenance has life-threatening consequences, which is blatantly apparent to anyone driving on the state’s roads.

Earlier this year, following the Parliament of Victoria’s inquiry into the road toll, it was revealed that there is no legislative obligation for roads to be built or maintained to a certain standard to increase safety for road users.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester strongly supports further investments into the local road network saying, “every loss of life and serious injury on our roads is a tragedy for the families and friends affected.”

“Across Gippsland our roads have deteriorated badly in recent months, and I don’t know if it’s because of the prolonged wet period or lack of maintenance funding.”

Despite being unable to comment specifically on Cal Wood’s fatal crash, Mr Chester said, “all the road safety research supports a ‘safe system’ approach to reducing road trauma.”

“That means safer roads, safer drivers, safer vehicles and safer speeds. Governments at all levels need to be working together to deliver better and safer roads because they can prevent more families suffering the consequences of road trauma,” Mr Chester said.

“It is heartbreaking to see young lives taken in car crashes and my thoughts are with the families involved.”

Not yet six months into 2022, the death toll on regional Victorian roads is 18 more than the total deaths in 2021; it is time for action.

The conditions of rural Victorian roads are

amongst the worst in the country, and without change, more fathers like Paul Wood will lose their sons.

More men like Riley Wood will lose their younger brother.

More boys like Owen and Henry Wood will lose their big brothers.

“I don’t know what else I can do but try and change the road conditions and make these kids aware of being safe when driving,” Mr Wood said.

As a young adult, getting your licence opens the door to a whole new level of freedom that comes with an added responsibility.

Mr Wood and Ms Cramp implore young people to avoid going for a drive for the sake of driving.

“Kids at that age do want to drive; they want to be with their mates,” Mr Wood said.

“I don’t know how many times I asked Callum to stay home, but social life is big at that age, and they gotta do it; we all did.”

“But don’t just go driving for the sake of driving, especially late at night on those sorts of roads.”

For Mr Wood and Ms Cramp, losing Cal has rendered indescribable pain, but they are overwhelmed by the amount of support the Sale and surrounding community have shown during this horrific time.

Nothing will reverse the shattering of the Wood family’s hearts caused by Cal’s shock death.

One of Cal’s many uncles, Jamie Dorning, said losing Cal is inconceivable.

“We only just started to move on after losing Cal’s mum Christie in 2019,” Mr Dorning said.

“Best friends isn’t nearly a strong enough way to describe Cal’s relationship with his mum.

“The only thing I can see in all of this, the only thing to hold on to, is now they are together.

Reunited again.”

While there is nothing in this world that can turn back the clock and change events to have Cal Wood walk through their front door, Mr Wood and Ms Cramp hope that the community and those in charge of the roads will implement change to stop tragedies like Cal’s accident from happening again.

“It happens in every generation, the next lot of drivers will come through, and there will be one of the young ones who loses their life,” Ms Cramp said.

“It happens all the time, but if we can slow that down so that the time Henry (Cal’s seven-month old brother) is driving, he is not losing a mate.”

As police continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash in Heyfield, they ask anyone who knows anything about the vehicle’s movements or occupants leading up to the collision to contact Heyfield Police on 5148 2202 or Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000.

Brothers Riley, 19, and Owen, 14, have faced more tragedy than many could even begin to comprehend.

Some of Cal’s family members have set up a Go Fund Me page in support of the two boys.

Forestry course to open doors

By JACI HICKEN

THE demand for timber in Australia is projected to grow at roughly the same rate as the population, which means around a 36 per cent increase in the demand for timber over the next two decades.

This demand is reflected in the need to continually build the timber workforce’s capacity and capabilities, and when it comes to careers in forestry, there is a large and diverse range of opportunities in Gippsland.

To help people of all ages learn more about these opportunities, the Gippsland Forestry Hub is holding a Forestry Taster course at the Morwell Innovation Centre on June 27, 28 and 29.

In collaboration with Food and Fibre Gippsland’s Connect 2 Employment Program to encourage job seekers to take part in the course, Gippsland Forestry Hub general manager Lesia Clark believes it is a fantastic way for people to explore their options.

“The combination of face-to-face information sharing in a relaxed learning space with our day trip to see how a timber mill, a timber plantation and one of the largest nurseries in Australia all operate offers people an inside look at potential work environments,” Ms Clark said.

“There is really so much more to forestry than meets the eye.”

As part of the three-day program, participants will meet some inspiring industry mentors and see first-hand what the industry has to offer.

Whether it is doing planting work outside in a timber plantation, driving a harvester on a timber

There is more to forestry than meets the eye.

A Forestry Taster course is on in Morwell later this month.

coupe, working in a tree nursery, or getting involved in mapping out future plantations, there is a variety of businesses potentially able to offer long term and secure employment.

By participating in the Forestry Taster course people will learn skills that will open doors to the timber industry.

Food and Fibre Gippsland’s Connect 2 Employment

team leader Nicki Keddie said courses like this are important for job seekers.

“Lots of people have very transferrable skills, but until they know more about an industry that is new to them, it can be challenging to see how they would transition to an unfamiliar workplace,” Ms Keddie said.

“Being able to meet people on the ground and

have conversation with mentors and industry representatives is valuable.”

Participation in the forestry taster course is free, but places are limited.

If you would like to find out more email Brodie Anderson at FFG at brodie.anderson@foodand fibregippsland.com.au The Forestry Taster course is a collaboration between the Gippsland Forestry Hub and Food and Fibre Gippsland.

Head appointed as CEO PAUL Head has been appointed as chief executive officer of the Yarram and District Health Service (YDHS) for the next five years.

Mr Head has been acting in the position for the last 12 months after the resignation of the previous chief executive officer.

Mr Head, who started his health career in Queensland, came to YDHS role after six years at Central Gippsland Health where he was executive director of Aged and Ambulatory Care.

Mr Head is excited to be leading the YDHS and paid tribute to both the board and staff for “an incredible effort”, especially over the last 12 months.

“It has been exceptionally challenging as COVID-19 spread but our priority is always the safety or our patients, residents and staff,” he said.

Mr Head said providing an excellent service for the community of Yarram and surrounding areas was a priority.

He said the Yarram and District Health Service provided comprehensive health and support services to the local community for many years and would continue to build on this solid foundation.

“We will continue to investigate digital solutions to enhance the services we already provide.

“We have also undertaken a full site masterplan with the view to identifying future capital works for the Yarram site. This will be completed in the coming months.”

Mr Head, his wife Ajsa and three secondary school aged children have relocated to Yarram and look forward to being part of the community.

Baking for a worthy cause

GIPPSLANDERS are being encouraged to get baking this winter in support of the Central Gippsland Health Service.

The Bake for Babies initiative is hoping to raise funds for the Special Care Nursery and Birthing Unit in Sale, which is seeking $25,000 for new equipment.

In particular, the Unit is hoping to purchase a new breast pump and isolette cot.

The fundraising effort is being backed by the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation and its chairman, Peter Cursley.

“The isolette cot provides a cocoon-like environment for the recovering newborn baby, and the additional breast pump will prevent new mums having to queue to express,” Mr Cursley said.

Bake for Babies asks anyone to bake anything they like, sell their baked treats to family, friends and work colleagues, and then deposit the proceeds into the NICF Sale account.

For Mr Cursley, his interest in the cause is a personal one.

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester was an omission from the new 24-member shadow ministry announced by the Coalition on Sunday.

The line-up, announced by Opposition leader Peter Dutton and Nationals leader David Littleproud, features 18 Liberals and six Nationals.

Mr Chester, who threw his hat in the ring for the leadership battle last week, remains on the backbench.

But Barnaby Joyce, ousted as Leader, is the spokesman of veterans’ affairs.

Another former Nationals leader Michael McCormack, is spokesperson for international development and the Pacific.

Other Nationals in the shadow ministry are Mr Littleproud, deputy leader Perin Davey, Anne Webster and Senator Bridget McKenzie.

After enduring the tragic loss of his baby daughter, and soon after his wife, he responded to his heartbreak by dedicating his life to helping others.

In 1995, he established the NICF and has since raised millions for the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, enabling sick newborn babies to go home sooner and healthier.

“It’s been a tough couple of years for everyone with one disaster followed by another,” he said.

“People’s attention has been diverted from drought to fires to floods to the pandemic, but sick babies continue to be born and they deserve the very best of care.

“After all, babies are our future and life should not be a struggle when you are just a few minutes old.”

This year’s Bake for Babies fundraiser runs until August 31.

Gumboot-a-thon at Cowwarr Stefan Bradley

COWWARR Primary School is giving back to the wider community with the return of the school’s Gumboot-a-thon on Friday, June 17, in partnership with UnitingCare in Sale.

In the morning, students and the wider community will walk around the block in their gumboots as part of a fundraiser to provide sleeping bags to the homeless in Gippsland to keep them warm this winter. The kids will bring their own gumboots, and are encouraged to decorate them.

Principal Albie Fitt told said the school had two years of the Gumboot-a-thon that were embraced by the community before it was stopped in 2020 due to COVID. This winter, it returns.

“It reflected that we were in the country, because of the gumboots, and it’s like a walkathon,” Mr Fitt said.

“It was a way to make kids aware of their community, and what’s needed in the community.

“That’s why we started this, so our local team can help make the wider team better. I hope that the Gumboot-a-thon becomes a yearly tradition in this town.”

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

In 2019, they raised $2000 once again for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

“A lot of people around Australia need the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and even though we’re a little school, we can help out,” Mr Fitt said.

This year, the school has connected with UnitingCare in Sale to help the homeless, with the motto: Cowwarr Primary thinks that everyone deserves to be warm this winter.

“It’s teaching our kids that there are people in our local community who are homeless, and we want to help them,” Mr Fitt said.

“Our kids are compassionate about homeless people, which is great, but do they really understand the pain they go through? There’s a distance there, but we can help close that distance.”

On the day at 10am, the kids, some of whom will be sponsored, will walk around the block in their gumboots and hope the community will make donations to go to Uniting Care for the homeless.

“We’re bouncing back this year, and the kids love the Gumboot-a-thon, because they really love their

“Of course, we’re in the country walking around with gumboots with all this farmland around, that’s the quirky thing about it. It captures the imagination. There might only be 23 kids at this school, but those 23 kids will help a lot of people in and outside of their community.

“We were amazed in previous years when we raised $2000, and we want to beat that this year.

We’ll have someone on the side of the road who can collect donations.”

"

School student Ruby, 9, said she had a goal to walk 20 laps around the block, and wanted to raise as much money as she could for the homeless.

“My goal is, maybe $30. Last time we all raised $2000,” Ruby said.

“My mum and my brother are sponsors, and I’m going to bring my own gumboots, and I might decorate it.”

All are welcome to make a donation or take part in the walk, dogs on leads included.

‘Balkan ABBA’ heads to Stratford Tom Parry

PREPARE yourself for a band that needs to be heard and seen to be believed.

The Royal High Jinx will be performing this Saturday at the Stratford Courthouse Theatre, showcasing their eclectic music and vibrant costumes to the venue for the first time.

The four-piece band describes their music as “inspired by European traditions, peppered with Gypsy Jazz, Latin, Balkan & Swing grooves with a pinch of Folk.”

But according band member Sarah Busuttil, their music has also drawn comparisons with a certain Swedish pop group.

“A lot of people call us ‘Balkan ABBA’,” Ms Busuttil told the Gippsland Times.

It’s an assertion she believes isn’t too far from the truth: “the music that we play is very singable, danceable, and we try to get the crowd singing along with us.”

Ms Busuttil performs violin as part of the group, and is joined by Silas Palmer on keys and percussion, Jen Hawley on guitar and Terry Cole on mandolin – who occasionally dabbles in a bit of on-stage juggling – with all four performing vocals.

They’re a band that likes to keep busy – since its founding in 2014, The Royal High Jinx has released four albums, most recently Murder Motel.

Additionally, the quartet have also toured Europe, where they played 23 shows in the space of one month.

Attention worldwide has been drawn not just

to their music, but also their outfits, with the two ladies often wearing corsets, tutus and fascinators, while the men will dress in brightly coloured suits.

“We’re a little bit cheeky, but we like to dress-up and have a bit of a glamorous look to the show,” Ms Busuttil said.

“Life’s too short to not dress-up!”

The band are making the most of their time in Stratford, with a World Music Workshop preceding their evening performance.

Those who attend will be taught songs from the “Royal High Jinx Tune Book” played in Klezmer, Romantic and Balkan styles.

“It’s open to anyone, which is great, because even if you’re not a musician, you can come along and listen and perhaps clap along – we can teach rhythm and things like that,” Ms Busuttil said.

“We try to cater for anyone.”

Ms Busuttil added that the entire band was “very excited” to be performing in Stratford, and singled-out local performer Anita Hensen for making it possible.

“We’re really looking forward to celebrating world music with everyone at the Courthouse, it should be a lot of fun!”

The Royal High Jinx will be appearing in Stratford this Saturday, June 11.

Their World Music Workshop will take place at 3pm, and their musical performance in the Theatre from 7pm.

Tickets can be purchased via www.stratford courthouse.com.au

Maffra artist’s new exhibition

MAFFRA artist Ken Roberts finds inspiration in what surrounds him.

In the past these have included people, the place he grew up, the countryside and the bush.

His latest series of works is an interpretation of “leaves” in many forms.

The “Botanica” exhibition, as displayed at Meeniyan Art Gallery.

His range of styles vary from realistic to abstract. Some works feature “intuitive” mark-making where he lets the works manifest without a preconceived direction. The results are “free and vibrant.”

Some leaves seem to take on human aspects as they “dance” or crowd together and give a whole new aspect to what you would expect.

The bright and colourful works exude a positive energy and atmosphere.

Within his new exhibition, Ken has a second exhibition titled “Family Secrets” that features both paintings and assemblage pieces.

With limited explanations the titles of the works relay a message that is up to the interpretation of the viewer. They are definitely works that will challenge, intrigue and surprise.

Ken has delved into his own family history for some references as well as sourcing the general notion that every family has their own set of secrets, some simple and some much deeper.

Ken has teamed with fellow artist Luke Dearlove, whose work features screen printed Waratah images, abstract still-life pieces and intricate mobiles depicting plant life.

The combination of Ken and Luke’s work in the exhibition “Botanica” at the Meeniyan Art Gallery provides many talking points and a unique interpretation of the everyday that surrounds us. Their works display a totally individual response and give the viewer much to contemplate.

The exhibition will be displayed until June 30.

Tour broadens horizons

GP1643630

THE Gippsland Farmers’ Bus Tour – open to all farmers across East and West Gippsland – represents an opportunity to get off the farm and broaden farming horizons.

This year’s tour will traverse the High Country, North East Victoria and southern New South Wales, finishing up with a visit to the Monaro and lastly Orbost.

Organiser, Southern Farming Systems’ (SFS) Natalie Jenkins, said the five-day bus tour was open for all and encompassed farms that included fodder growing, dairy cattle synchronisation, beef cattle, cropping and sheep.

“We want people to know this tour is for all farmers in East and West Gippsland,” Ms Jenkins said.

“It’s a joint initiative from Landcare, TopSoils, SFS, Gippsland Agricultural Group and other organisations that are working together for the interest of all.”

GAgG chairman Trevor Caithness said the tour would give farmers the opportunity to see farming businesses that were at the cutting edge of new technology and new farming systems, particularly those interested in carbon farming.

“With the rapidly changing environment as we enter the world of carbon in our farming systems, we should be able to gain some insight about how other producers are embracing this challenge,” Mr Caithness said.

“Farmers will be able to gather and interpret a lot of information to find what will work within their business. Another positive for the tour is the mental health side, where farmers take time away from their farms, spend time talking with like-minded people and see different innovative practices within the industry.”

Tour visits include a prime lamb/seedstock business, Ardrossan Angus and Injemira Herefords near Holbrook, Charles Sturt University at Wagga Wagga, a SnowyHydro session at Cooma, as well as the 3700ha Delegate Station, Delegate where the Jeffreys family has developed an almost year-round

The Gippsland Farmers’ Bus Tour runs from June 19-23 and you can be a part of it. cropping operation integrated with lamb breeding and trading.

Near Albury, Gillian Sanbrook, the brains behind the Natural Instinct Wool Company and art investment group, Artstream, will talk about her experience of regenerative agriculture, developing and running a commercial cattle business under the principals of holistic management and natural sequence farming.

She will also speak about the establishment of Earth Canvas Incorporated, an art and regenerative farming project to get land managers to look at the landscape.

“There should be a lot of take-home messages that farmers can use to integrate and complement the things they are doing on their own farms,” Mr Caithness said.

The cost is $330 a person and the tour runs from June 19-23, with limited places available.

For more information contact Natalie Jenkins at Southern Farming Systems.

Gippsland Regional Livestock Exchange recently hosted a breakfast with the best THE Committee for Gippsland caught up over breakfast with truck drivers, stock agents and farmers in the Wellington Shire at the Gippsland Regional Livestock Exchange recently to hear first-hand the challenges and opportunities for improving freight across the region, particularly within the ag sector.

Gippsland has a booming $7 billion agriculture industry that includes getting milk from farms into fridges, cattle to market, vegetables into supermarkets, and timber to mills.

By refreshing the Gippsland Freight Infrastructure Master Plan the Committee for Gippsland are talking to industry about freight priorities in order to improve access to market.

The Committee for Gippsland thanked everyone who stopped by for a chat at the saleyard canteen and provided important freight feedback, with particular thanks to Rodney Perkins from Nutrien Ag Solutions - Australia, and Gary Fenton and the team at the Cattleyard Canteen for the very tasty breakfast.

Economist offers reasons for optimism

Grants available under school agriculture fund

VICTORIAN schools and place-based streams can now apply for grants under the state government’s $5.5 million Secondary Schools Agriculture Fund.

Education Minister James Merlino and Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas launched the grants scheme last week.

As part of the state government’s four-year, $50 million commitment to the Agricultural College Modernisation Program, The Secondary Schools Agriculture Fund (SSAF) is a $5.5 million investment into Victoria’s agriculture sector.

The SSAF aims to build stronger agriculture education across Victorian schools, creating a brighter future for young Victorians in vocational education and training and support more secondary students to embark on a career in the primary industries.

The investment aims to better equip Victorian schools and the agriculture sector to raise awareness of the opportunities available in agriculture.

The SSAF will uplift agriculture teaching capabilities and offer more opportunities within schools for students to develop the skills they need to transition into modern careers in agriculture.

SSAF funding is available for a range of agriculture education activities like designing programs, engaging with local industry, purchasing equipment, and various other needs

Tom Parry

REGIONAL Victorians have reason to be “cautiously optimistic” about the economic outlook, according to the chief economist at Bendigo Bank.

The company’s Head of Economic and Market Research, David Robertson made the comments following a function in Maffra last week.

Mr Robertson visited Maffra as part of a regional speaking tour facilitated by Bendigo Bank’s business banking team and local Community Bank branches.

The events are being promoted as a “post-election economic update” for customers, stakeholders and local business leaders.

“The discussion was really around the outlook for interest rates, for property, the jobs market, and for economic growth more broadly, and we had that discussion at a national, a state and also at a local level,” Mr Robertson said.

Most pleasing to attendees was the news that regional areas, including Gippsland, were “outperforming” Australia’s capital cities.

According to Mr Robertson, there are multiple indicators that point towards regional Victoria’s economy growing.

“We’re seeing that certainly in the property market – for example, just last month, the average price of a house in Melbourne fell 0.7 per cent, but for regional Victoria it rose 0.4 per cent,” Mr Robertson said.

“That outperformance of regional Australia, and the regional economy – we’re seeing a wide range of indicators showing that continuing, and that applies not just to the property market but the jobs market, and also in population movements, so it’s a real regional renaissance.”

While Mr Robertson believes that the Australia’s economy as a whole will continue to grow, he cautioned that that the Reserve Bank’s cash rate is rising and “will probably be about two per cent higher in a year’s time.”

“It’s a challenging period for the economy nationally due to global factors – the energy and inflation shock,” he said “Inflation … is something that is being driven mainly by global factors, and that’s feeding into higher official interest rates.

“But the good news is demand is very strong – demand for labour, demand through household spending – and I suppose the extension for that is, the nationally economy has got momentum and we think the unemployment rate will keep falling.”

While the job market will be largely unaffected, a predicted two per cent rise in interest rates poses a threat to the housing market.

“It will have an impact on property, (but) it needs to be put into context of how far property values have risen – for example, they’re up roughly 35 per cent over the last three years in a whole range of locations.”

“When you put-up interest rates two per cent, that will have an impact, so our best guess is that we could see a peak-to-trough fall of about 10 per cent.

“But again, that’s in the context of having just risen 35 per cent.”

schools may require to deliver quality agriculture studies.

Mr Merlino said the future of Victoria’s nationleading agriculture sector was bright.

“We’re proud to be supporting more Victorian students to get involved in the modern, growing industry while they’re still at school,” Mr Merlino said.

“This program is all about making sure our students have real-world opportunities to make the most of existing and emerging agriculture and horticulture career pathways.”

The SSAF Fund plans will add a valuable boost that will help meet the growing demands of the local agriculture sector and attract innovativeyoungworkerswithdigital,businessand marketing skills, as well as food and fibre entrepreneurs who can take products to international markets.

“We want to attract the best and brightest young innovators who are keen to get into our agriculture sector – developing the food and fibre industry’s leaders of tomorrow and setting them up for exciting careers,” Ms Thomas said.

The Secondary Schools Agriculture Fund applications are now open to Victorian schools and will close on June 24.

As for those in attendance, Mr Robertson gauged their mood as “very confident and very positive”.

“There’s certainly a lot of optimism around what’s happening with property development; there’s a lot of confidence around the pick-up in retail, construction (and) agriculture,” he said.

“But of course, that just needs to be tempered by the challenges that we’re all facing with rising inflation.

“And for a lot of businesses, I think the common theme is (that) demand is very strong, but there are challenges with job shortages and with supply issues.”

Mr Robertson also expressed his delight at the turnout, describing the Maffra function as “well-attended.”

“It’s certainly been welcome to have the opportunity to catch-up face-to-face,” he said.

“For a couple of years there, we were stuck with living in the virtual world, and we did have a lot of Zoom and Teams meetings.

“That was good to be able to share information virtually, but it’s not the same as being in the same room and actually being able to have an interactive Q&A.”

Youth Girls league grows Zoe Askew

Sale City’s Kiahna Kiely launching a tackle with Tannah Sutton and Brooke Kelly in support.

THIS season is turning out to be the year for women’s football, with the Youth Girls Female Football League expanding to a 14-team competition, a significant upsurge from the fourteam league that started in 2012.

The 14 teams extend from Bairnsdale, East Gippsland, across the Wellington Shire and Latrobe Valley up to Phillip Island in the Bass Coast Shire.

Over the past few years, the Sale City Youth Girls have produced some exceptional female footballers, and this year is no exception.

The girls from Sale City have had a cracking start to the season, and went into Sunday’s game against Traralgon undefeated.

Traralgon proved too strong, winning 13.9 (87) to 6.2 (38).

Best players for Sale City were Natalia Covino, Brooke Kelly, Bree Watkins, Tia Blackley, Isabel Goldsmith and Ella Barnes.

Boisdale-Briagolong Youth Girls has also demonstrated they are a force to be reckoned with, building momentum each week and showcasing impressive new talent.

The Bombers have only dropped one game, and sit third on the ladder.

Boisdale-Briagolong won at the weekend, defeating Morwell 9.10 (64) to 1.0 (6).

Tahlia White, Imogen Chilton, Summer Harbour, Ella Sowden, Shyann Mackenzie and Bridie Daly were best in the victory.

Woodside Youth Girls’ side has stirred the pot, with the new kids on the block exhibiting some serious football skills and outstanding camaraderie on the field.

Sitting 13th on the ladder, the Woodside girls are still searching for their first win of the season.

The Wildcats played Newborough in their most recent match, and did well to keep the finals-bound Bulldogs to one goal in the third quarter.

Better players were Grace Dillow, Krista Walpole, Zarrah Tusa, Leah Roberts, Lilly-May Dillow and Layla Gloyn.

To assist with catering, those interested are asked to RSVP by June 20 either by emailing pastplayersandofficalssfnc@gmail.com or text Daryl Cooper 0499 456 390.

Sale Croquet Club stages successful tournament

Section 1 runners-up Alan Drayton and Marj Prendergast, winners John Carr and Penny Morrison-McGill, Section 2 winners Neil Warburton and Virginia Wheeler, and runners-up Maz Barrett and Julie Drummond.

Photo: Contributed SALE Croquet Club held a highly successful golf-croquet handicap doubles tournament at the weekend.

Some late withdrawals due to COVID meant several Sale players were able to enter their own tournament which is normally only contested by those from other clubs.

John Carr, (Mornington) and Penny Morrison-McGill, (Morwell), narrowly won Section 1 with six wins and an 11-hoop advantage from Alan Drayton and Marj Prendergast, (Lakes Entrance), who also finished on six wins, but with a six-hoop advantage.

Neil Warburton and Virginia Wheeler, (Wonthaggi), won Section 2 with five wins, from Julie Drummond and Maz Barrett, (Lakes Entrance), who were one of four teams to finish on four wins.

Sale pair Colin Coomber and John McParland were third on a countback.

AFL 9s league starts in region Zoe Askew

FEMALE Football Gippsland recently announced an AFL 9s competition for girls and women starting Monday, June 20.

With only slight discrepancies from the regular game, AFL 9s is a highly social game, involving nine players on each team played on a smaller field.

Unlike AFL, there is no tackling in AFL 9s.

Instead, players simply touch their opponent’s body in place of a tackle. As a non-contact sport, AFL 9s is suitable for people of any age or skill level.

ONE-SIDED results were the order of the day in Round 9 of the Gippsland League.

All but one match returned a margin of less than 44 points, in what marked the halfway stage of the season.

There is still one game left to complete the round, which will be played between Bairnsdale and Warragul this Saturday.

The other eight clubs will now enjoy their midyear break, and look to come back refreshed for what is usually the toughest period of the year in terms of weather, personnel and motivation.

SALE was far too strong for Morwell.

The Magpies were ruthless in their execution at home, winning 17.16 (118) to 6.7 (43).

Morwell entered the match with a bit of confidence following a solid fortnight which included a win over Wonthaggi, but any such confidence was surely zapped midway through the second quarter as Sale blew the lead to beyond seven goals.

If there was any Tiger Train leading into the game, it came to a grinding halt at halftime as Morwell remained goalless.

The Magpies continued to put the foot down after the main break, adding four and six goals in the next two quarters.

As predicted, the difference in experience between Sale and Morwell had a big say in the result.

The top three players for the Magpies all had over 100 VFL or Gippsland League senior games under their belt in Ryan Pendlebury, Shannen Lange and Kane Martin.

Martin kicked four goals, as did Brad Dessent. Tom Glenn, Mitch Bown and Jesse Collins also did a good job.

At the risk of diving into hyperbole, Martin would have to be one of the greatest ‘local’ players to ever pull on a Sale jumper.

If not the greatest then certainly one of the most consistent.

Granted the Magpies have produced a litany of AFL players, but for sheer consistency at Gippsland League level Martin’s statistics are mind-blowing to say the least.

He has been in the best 108 times in 171 games since 2010 - meaning two-thirds of the time he steps onto the field he is in the top six players for Sale.

Add to that the fact he has kicked over 200 goals and you essentially have your prototype 21st century midfielder.

As anyone in football knows, midfielders who can kick goals are worth their weight in gold.

Best players for Morwell were Tyler Brown, Cody Macdonald, Archie Grant, Ryan Hearn, Nathan Noblett and Tyler Hillier.

TRARALGON moved to second on the ladder after defeating Maffra.

The Maroons overcame an indifferent second quarter to break away from the Eagles in the finish, closing out victors 12.8 (80) to 9.8 (62).

Making the trip to Maffra, the visitors hit the ground running in the first term, scoring three goals to one behind.

The Eagles hit back from there, and went into the sheds with only eight points the difference.

Traralgon was able to take control from there, and kicked four goals to one in the third before a high scoring last quarter saw nine goals kicked between the two teams.

The win made it four in a row for the Maroons, and now sees them hold second spot on the ladder by percentage from Sale and Moe. Some big wins in previous rounds have certainly helped Traralgon, who currently have a healthy percentage of 150.47.

Brett Eddy kicked three goals for the winners, while Harvey Neocleous, Tye Hourigan, Mark Collison, Luke Johnson and Tate Marsh all played well.

Eddy was not the only former Port Adelaide player on the ground, as Maffra had someone with a familiar surname wearing the red and black.

John Butcher made his fifth appearance for the season, but failed to hit the scoreboard, with the goals coming mainly from Eagles’ youngster Tom Thatcher who nabbed three.

Hudson Holmes continued his blinding form and was best on ground for Maffra, along with Ed Carr, Danny Butcher, Alex Carr, Tom Jolly and James Huts who missed last week due to COVID. Having now played each other once, Traralgon has put itself in a good position to contend, and gained some serious street credit along the way with wins over Sale and Wonthaggi, and marginal defeats to Leongatha and Moe. An upset loss to Warragul has been the side’s only real blemish so far in 2022, and given the Maroons will get a good run of

Sale remains in the top three of Gippsland League football. Will Leslie (pictured) has been a key player so far in the Magpies campaign.

WE saw the real Wonthaggi on Saturday.

The Power showed why there was so much talk surrounding them in preseason after dismantling Moe by 44 points.

Having been somewhat underwhelming in the early part of the season, Wonthaggi put it all together on the weekend, winning 12.3 (75) to 4.7 (31).

The result had instant ramifications for the Lions, who dropped from second to fourth.

Conversely, the Power are now a game and a half clear in fifth, and look a good chance to climb further in the second half of the season.

After losing two of their last three games by less than a goal (one with a missed shot right on the final siren), it was clear Wonthaggi weren’t that far off, and so it proved when they took to the field at Ted Summerton Reserve.

On the scoreboard at least the Power’s most dominate period was either side of half-time.

Wonthaggi added four goals in the second and third quarter, and only gave Moe one in the same time frame.

The third quarter effort was most impressive, as the Power kept Moe goalless kicking with the wind towards the Can Bar. A strong mark to Aiden Lindsay and follow up conversion straight in front maintained a buffer in the 20-point vicinity for Wonthaggi, which was probably worth more given the choppy conditions.

The Lions had some periods of dominance going into half-time, but struggled with efficiency going inside 50.

Moe had more inside 50s for the game (47 to 41) and broke even in centre clearances (nineall), but the majority of their inside 50s were shallow entries, which allowed Wonthaggi defender Tim Knowles to rebound at will.

The Power also had the upper hand in clearances around the ground, winning that stat 41 to 35.

There was some positives for Moe, with second-gamer Lachlan McGrath in the best players. The under 18 ruckman did an admirable job jumping against a seasoned opponent in Toma Huther.

Read into it what you want, but Moe easily won the free-kick count 31 to 19. While those at the Can Bar will probably find that stat hard to believe, it does suggest the Lions were willing to put their head over the ball and stay strong in the contest.

Ultimately however, the most telling statistic came once the Lions coughed the ball up.

The Power obliterated Moe on turnover, scoring 10 goals and not a single behind. At times it seemed Wonthaggi’s pressure forced the Lions to handball so much it looked as though Moe players weren’t handballing to create, they were handballing to give the ball to someone else and say ‘your problem now’.

Moe coach Declan Keilty went forward in the last quarter as his side was faced with a 26-point margin to overcome.

Keilty provided a highlight with a onehanded mark, but at the other end his opposite number in Wonthaggi coach Jarryd Blair had the last laugh, kicking the final goal of the game.

Speaking post-match, Blair said he was pleased with his side’s effort.

“We’ve been good in patches and average in patches so it was good to put a solid game together,” he said.

“I was really happy with our pressure around the footy, I thought we were better

at it and were able to take options away (from Moe).

“There is lots of growth in our group and kids still learning a bit about themselves, they are getting better every week, it is about supporting them through to being able to play that consistent four-quarter footy.”

Blair paid particular mention to his defenders in keeping Moe to just four goals.

“Our back six are really starting to find a bit of synergy together, it has had a bit of change week-to-week so it is good to get consistency through that division and I think they all appreciate knowing what they have to do and keep turning up for one another,” he said.

Wonthaggi should welcome back key defender Shannon Bray next game after he had to go to Sydney for a wedding.

Apart from Leongatha, the Power looks to have the most amount of depth, a sign Blair said was healthy heading into the guts of winter.

“Boys are really putting their hand up for senior selection which is great,” he said.

“It is good to see those boys playing good team footy as well, sometimes it can get a bit selfish trying to get yourself picked but they are all playing to a plan.

“I think everyone looks forward to a bye, it’s (the season) a big commitment from the boys.

“Always nice to have a win heading into a break as well, so we’ll have a few days to have a breather and get ready for Sale.”

The former Collingwood 150-gamer had 21 disposals for the match, while best player awards were given to Knowles, Ryan Sparkes (19 touches), Huther, Tom Murray, Jack Hutchinson and Josh Schulz.

For those wondering what makes a player of Blair’s quality stand out in local footy, it is mainly the ability to quickly sum up a situation and make adjustments on the fly.

On one occasion he received the ball at centre half back and was about to kick a searing pass straight ahead, but realising that pass wasn’t on, quickly pulled his kick at the last moment to hit a free player out wide.

Most people say ‘give the first option’, but you find the elite players adhere to ‘give the best option’.

Keilty was again best for Moe, while Trent and Riley Baldi were in the thick of the action. Skipper Jacob Wood battled hard, as did Harri Sim who kicked a very nice snap goal late in the piece.

LEONGATHA has now beaten every team in the competition.

The Parrots again won by some distance, this time defeating Drouin by 153 points.

There were calls for the mercy rule at Drouin Recreation Reserve. At half-time Leongatha led 13.10 (88) to 0.1 (1), and at full time the score was 23.20 (158) to 0.5 (5).

The Hawks entered the record books for all the wrong reasons, with their final score now officially the lowest Round 9 score in league history.

Ironically, Leongatha was the previous holder of that unwanted title, with a score of 1.4 (10) against Moe back in 2006.

Times have certainly changed since then, and Leongatha is now three games clear on top of the ladder.

Aaron Hillberg kicked seven in a best on ground display. Aaron Heppell and Tom Marriott were also busy for the Parrots.

Seth Calway and Harry Wans fought manfully for Drouin.

If you want an idea of how strong the Leongatha are, this might tell you: Cam Olden played twos - the same Cam Olden that plays in the VFL for Richmond.

Jets, Cougars set pace Scott Berechree

THE North Gippsland Football-Netball League nominal match of the round between Woodside and the ladder-leading Yallourn Yallourn North was turned on its head when the travelling Jets launched a five goal to nil second quarter blitz to effectively end the contest.

Post-game Woodside coach Michael Duncan rued his side’s early inaccuracy noting the Wildcats failure to capitalise on their early dominance was costly in the 13.10 (88) to 4.11 (35) loss.

The Wildcats managed six behinds and a further three shots out on the full before the Jets had registered a score.

And as Duncan noted “you can’t let a good side like that off the hook.”

Duncan also pointed to the significant ankle injury to Nick Stockdale at the 15-minute mark of the first term as a key moment.

It is feared Stockdale suffered a broken ankle and will miss a large portion of the remainder of the season.

The second quarter was all YYN as they piled on five unanswered goals to set up a match wining 32-point lead as the sides headed for the change rooms at the long break.

YYN president Evan Sheekey said when his side required a spark it came via a Dylan Keyhoe left foot snap from near on 50. This spark soon turned to fire and it was all one way traffic.

Duncan lauded the Jets ability to move the ball quickly when needed yet to also retain possession as required. Even without playing-coach Barrie Burnett, who usually takes up residence across half back the Jets were able to dictate tempo through the likes of Campbell MacInnes who clearly wasn’t distracted by his stroll down media street Saturday morning.

The third quarter started like the first with Woodside controlling play but not transferring their efforts on to the scoreboard.

Conversely when the Jets owned the ball they managed to split the big sticks three times and stretch their half-time lead to 46 points at the final change.

A three goal to two goal last term saw YYN prevail by 53 points and retain top spot on the ladder as the league heads into the Queen’s Birthday bye weekend.

Duncan was effusive in his praise of the winner’s, noting the one-two combination of Keenan Hughes and Dean MacDonald in the Jets front half was “always a headache” with the gun duo slotting four goals each.

Far from offering excuses Duncan did note “any time you miss 21 shots on goal (The Wildcats’ managed 11 behinds and 10 out on the full) you are going to find things tough”.

Sheekey suggested the pressure of Stephen Pearson played no small part in many of the Woodside misses.

Sheekey joked Pearson’s pressure rating was on a par with his own blood pressure during the first term.

Woodside’s loss is their fourth against a top five side and sees them drop to seventh on the ladder.

The main beneficiaries of this drop are Rosedale and Sale City.

ROSEDALE dominated their clash with Cowwarr from start to finish, running away huge 160-point winners.

After being within touching distance at the first break, the Saints rarely troubled the scorers from then on, managing just one goal and five behinds while Rosedale added a whopping 23 goals and 17

behinds to eventually win 27.23 (185) to 3.7 (25).

Brad Scott and Tom Northe did the damage for the Blues kicking nine and five respectively.

It looks as though things have started to really click for Rosedale of late and after a slow start to the year they find themselves just a win outside the five at the halfway point.

THE other big mover this round was Sale City.

The Bulldogs have been excellent this year in a season many predicted would be a rebuilding-type season.

After springing the upset of the year over Traralgon Tyers United last Saturday the tri-colours deservedly find themselves in the five at the break.

After jumping the Bombers on Saturday to hold a two goal lead at the first change, TTU launched a six goal to one second term to take a comfortable three goal lead into the main break.

This second quarter was reminiscent of the Bombers third quarter the week prior, a quarter in which they kicked five goals to none to set up their win over Woodside.

For all intents and purposes this should have done the same.

Sale City though are perhaps made of sterner stuff than some give them credit for, and a rollicking second half saw them slam home seven majors to four and grab a much deserved four point win 12.12 (84) to 12.8 (80).

A pair of majors to all of Ben Brett, Ben Chivers, Sam Davidson and Bohdi Walker combined with the best on ground efforts of Tom Bowman was enough to steer the tri-colours over the line.

For TTU, Mitch Mustoe was a lone hand up forward with four majors with midfield weapon Michael Jacobsen chipping in with two. Zac Kilgower, who has missed several games this year, continued his excellent return to form after being in the Bombers best last week by being best on ground at the weekend.

THE other close game this round saw Churchill make the trip out to Heyfield.

A month ago it would have been expected Churchill return home with a relatively convincing win but in the last few week’s Heyfield has really hit their straps.

Yes they have kicked big scores against sides at the bottom of the ladder but bad sides do not kick 396 points to 23 in a fortnight of footy.

Given this improvement the Cougars expected a solid contest and that is exactly what they got.

After leading by 12, 20 and then 21-points at each break it looked like Churchill would keep the Kangaroos at arm’s length and head home with a four or five goal win at the last change.

Heyfield however had different ideas and with Churchill losing gun forward Ben Kearns to a quad injury and key swingman Chris Wangman to a serious ankle injury, Heyfield pounced.

They stormed home, kicking 3.4 (22) to fall just a single goal behind Churchill who managed only one goal and one behind after the final break.

While happy to get the four points in a final scoreline of 10.9 (69) to 9.9 (63) the bigger issue for the Cougars could well be the potential long-term injuries to two key players.

Jesse Bedggood continued his renaissance of late with another four goals with his big partner in crime James Beha also slotting a pair for the

Kangaroos. Adam Wallace and James Conway were named Heyfield’s best in an effort that sees them now a dangerous floater outside the top five as the second half of the season looms.

THE final match of the round saw Yarram 98-point winners over Gormandale.

A seven goal opening blast saw the home side set up a large enough gap that the result was never in doubt. Inaccuracy and a tenacious Tiger effort saw the margin stay under triple figures with the final scoreboard reading 19.31 (145) to 7.5 (47).

For Gormandale, it was a positive step forward having now gone scoreless to five goals to seven goals in the last three weeks.

Best for them was Jarryd Garlick who managed five of their seven goals.

For Yarram it was a case of fixing the flux capacitator and breaking out the DeLorean with ageless coach Justin Staley turning back time to bag six of the finest in a best on ground performance.

He was joined in the best by regular contributors such as Boadie Motton, Griffin Underwood, Jayden Shea and Liam Bentley and as anyone who follows Yarram will know when that crew are playing good footy the Demons are hard to beat. mes • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Times • Th and Times • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Ti a mes • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Times • Th m and Times • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Ti a mes • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Times • m and Times • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland TTii a mes • The Gippsland Times • The Gippsland Times • Th m T and an a d Ti Time mess • Th me The e Gi Gipp ppsl slan lan and d Ti Time mess • Th me The e Gi Gipp ppsl slan lan and d Ti mes • The he Gip ipps p la land d Times imes • The he Gip ipps p la land d Times imes • TTh h and an a d Ti Time mess • Th The e Gi Gipp ppsl pp slan and d Ti Time mess • Th The e Gi Gipp ppsl pp slan and d Ti Ti mes • The Gip ipps pps psla land and nd Tim imes es • Th The Gip Gip ipps psla land nd Tim imes es • Th Th and an a d Ti Time mess • Th me The e Gi G pp Gip p sl ppsl s an sla and Ti and Tm Tim mes me ess • Th The he G Gipp Gi ppsl pp slan sl and an d Ti Ti mes • The Gippsland m sl nd d Times Tim mes • TThe he G Gippsland ippsla Times • Th T

Swans charge into top three after win Liam Durkin

KICKING-FLU spread to most parts of East Gippsland football in Round 9.

Scores of 14.21 (105) and two counts of 9.17 (71) kept goal umpires busy, but did little to help bolster the percentage column of teams vying for a place in finals.

Given how even the competition is, percentage is looming as a critical factor in determining just who makes the top four.

However, with clubs now breaking for midseason, players and coaches will be able to take a breather and recalibrate on the resumption.

STRATFORD moved into the top three.

The Swans danced their way to the break by doing a demolition job in the local derby against Boisdale-Briagolong.

A five goal to one second quarter paved the way for Stratford, who went on to win 14.21 (105) to 8.4 (52).

The 53-point margin would have been much greater had it not been for inaccurate kicking, especially in the final quarter when the Swans had 13 scoring shots to three for a return of 5.8 (38).

Stratford now has the second-best percentage in the competition, which is sure to come in handy in coming weeks as grounds inevitably get heavier and scores get lower heading into the guts of winter.

Boisdale-Briagolong took a slender fourpoint lead at quarter time, but from there, the visiting Swans made better use of their opportunities.

Having returned to the side last week, Haydn Erfurth was again among the top goal-kickers for Stratford, nabbing five in the victory.

Others to play well for the Swans were Andrew Scott, Liam Cunningham, Mitch Hawkins, Jack Bacon and Brad White.

Billy Marshall was again in the best for the Bombers, and received good support from Daniel Johnson, Declan Scriven, Tom Lee, Matt Wilkinson and Kel Porter.

While the season is far from over for Boisdale-Briagolong, they will need to get a move on to stay in contention for a place in the finals.

The Bombers are now three games out, and look to be facing a series of ‘must win’ games when action returns after the long weekend.

LINDENOW maintained outright-second on the ladder.

The Cats shook off a persistent Lakes Entrance outfit to win 9.17 (71) to 9.6 (60).

Lindenow registered 11 more scoring shots than their opponents despite kicking the same number of goals.

The Cats led at every change but had to overcome a few nervy moments as the Seagulls were only nine points down at three quarter time.

On a day where goals proved hard to come by, Bayley Croucher kicked three for the winners and Jarrod Matthews five for the losers.

Stratford playing-coach Jarryd Clohesy has seen his team win three of its last four games.

Photo: File Both were named in the best for their respective sides. Joining Croucher as Lindenow’s best was Boris Bryant, Justin Gould, Lachy Carroll, Trav Lawson and Hugh McShane.

Best for Lakes Entrance was Fraser Dostine, Ryan Hooper, Tom Duncan, Josh Piper, Jarred McDonnell and Matthews.

PAYNESVILLE was surely pumping ‘The Sweet Escape’ by Gwen Stefani all night after their effort against Orbost-Snowy Rovers.

The Gulls kicked five goals in the last quarter to storm home, winning 9.17 (71) to 10.8 (68).

Orbost-Snowy Rovers well and truly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

The home side led by 22-points at quarter time, 19 at half-time and 20 at three quarter time.

A six-goal opening term blew the gates open for the Blues, but they could only manage four more majors for the rest of the game.

The Gulls chipped away at the deficit, and managed to bombard the goals and have its noses in front at the final siren.

Orbost-Snowy Rovers missed a golden opportunity to take a scalp of a team that has now gone into the top four as a result.

Nerves more than likely played a part in the Blues demise, in what may well have ultimately been a case of the team not knowing how to win.

Andrew Kenny, Max Herbert, Braeden Ross, Lachlan Fenner, Jordan Ross and Wesley Russell were best for Orbost-Snowy Rovers.

Best on ground honours for the winners went to Dylan Radford, Brad Walsh, David Ashworth, Charlies Walsh, Ben McKinnon and Alex McLaren.

WY Yung got the job done over Lucknow in relatively straightforward fashion.

The Tigers led from start to finish, running out winners 14.11 (95) to 8.7 (55).

Some consolation goals in the last quarter got some respectability on the scoreboard for the Magpies, but by then the damage had well and truly been done.

Wy Yung had 11 goals up to three quarter time, and smartly played out the last 20 minutes to make sure injuries were limited.

Harry Kellow kicked five for the winners, and was assisted by Andrew Thomson, Aaron Hanuera, Tom Stephenson, Jock Overend and Jack Halabut.

Best for the Magpies was Tom Southen, Kyran McNaughton, Steve Bertino, Chris Hammond, James Sanford and Brendan Flinn.

Wy Yung is two games clear on top, while Lucknow makes up a logjam of teams between three and six all within a game of each other.

Longford tunes up for the finals series

Marvellous Maffra

Laurie Smyth

MAFFRA 1 claimed the Eastern Country Cup eight-ball pool event on the weekend of May 28-29.

The team produced an impressive performance to claim the title after playing in this competition for a number of years.

A great grr weekend was had by all the players and the excellent crowds on hand to watch the quality play.

WEDNESDAY’S touch was the last round prior to the finals which will commence on Wednesday, June 15.

Phoenix scored the first try in the game against Longford Trailer Hire through the effort of Miranda Laskowski. Brodie Towers responded with his only try of the night.

Phoenix’s Jason Laskowski made the next with Rhiannon Massey making her first taking the halftime score to 2-2.

In the second-half it was all Longford’s way with six tries added while Phoenix added just one through Miranda Laskowski, her second for the night.

The Longford scorers were Isla McCarthy and Massey each with two. Mason Annear and Peter Hall added one. The final score was 8-3.

Best players were Mason Annear, Kerry Shotter, Hall, McCarthy and Miranda Laskowski with Mackenzie Laskowski winning the encouragement award.

The Pink Panthers were not back at full-strength due to circumstances beyond their control however they did make Porky’s earn their win.

At half-time Porky’s led 4-3, and in the secondhalf the Panthers added three tries to just four for Porky’s.

The scorers for Porky’s were Leigh Mawley and Anthea Todd (two tries) with one each to Shannan O’Connor, Alana Ogilvy, David Ropeti and Rushdi Dai. Simon Driessen top scored for the Panthers with two tries: one in each half.

Best players were Dai, Mawley, Driessen, Todd and Mia Van de Vyver with Anouk Meereboer winning the encouragement award.

It was unfortunate that only two games were completed as the Mustangs were forced to forfeit their match with The Drop Kicks due to lack of numbers when a player sustained an injury to her foot. At the half-time break, the scores were 3-3.

Maff ffra f 1 secured the Eastern Country ryy Cup. The team featured captain Sam Pearson, Chris ‘Jezza’ Mayer, Will Shingles, Mat Baker, Rob Ragland, Kyle Thomas, and Kyl Dehmel.

Reeves to headline fight night Zoe Askew

IN partnership with Wildfighter Boxing, The Wellington Shire’s Middle of Everywhere campaign is bringing a star-studded event to Sale.

Wildfighter Round 8 will be held at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex on Saturday, July 16, headlined by Stratford’s undefeated pro boxer Max Reeves and Bairnsdale’s Blake Wells.

Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye said bringing the Wildfighter event to Gippsland was a significant achievement for The Middle of Everywhere campaign.

“This is a prestigious event with a potential future world champion,” Cr Bye said.

“To bring this event to the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex, it’s the first time we have ever done this, and it’s quite an achievement for The Middle of Everywhere to bring that to Wellington.”

Featuring alongside Gippsland local boys Reeves and Wells is Cesur Afacan, Luke Gersbeck, Bayden Ashwood and Wildfighter Gym Wars 4.

Cr Bye, who was joined by Wildfighter’s best talent, local stars and event organiser, former IBO world champion boxer Will Tomlinson at the event’s launch, expects a large crowd of all ages to attend the fight night.

“The event could bring up to 2000 people or more,” Cr Bye said.

“To bring that to the local economy, it helps with what we have gone through with COVID. It helps

to fill our pubs, our clubs, our accommodation; it is great for our local economy.”

Reeves, who won the National Amateur boxing title as a 15-year-old in 2016, has not lost a bout since turning professional in 2019.

He said he is excited to be fighting in his hometown but will the pressure to uphold his reputation with so many friends and family in

the crowd be detrimental? For local boxing fans, you can catch Reeves, Blake Wells and their trainer Paul Carroll on Friday, July 2 at Sale Shopping Mall, where they will be hosting an open workout from 12 noon.

Information about the event is available at The Middle of Everywhere website, and tickets are available to purchase at wildfighter.com.au.
