Ready: One of the ICU medi-hoods for COVID patients at Latrobe Regional Hospital.

BE FIRE READY FEATURE

PREPARED LATROBE Regional Hospital has officially become a COVID streaming service for Gippsland and has installed specialised triage protocols of patients presenting with any symptoms. It means LRH will manage and treat COVID patients from the region instead of sending them to Melbourne, it will also take patients from Melbourne if the need arose. LRH is now the third Victorian regional hospital

to become a COVID streaming service, ahead of Barwon and Bendigo. It will start streaming with nine inpatient beds and two ICU beds with the capacity to scale up to 64 inpatient beds and 30 ICU beds. There is a ventilator for each ICU bed. LRH chief executive officer Don McRae assured the hospital would have “plenty of capacity” to meet peak demand in Gippsland. Mr McRae said modelling had shown that the

region would need between 50 or 60 inpatient beds and 15 ICU beds at peak. “Our staff meet daily with the team across Victoria to work out demand, and if there is too much demand in Melbourne, we will be required to take patients from Melbourne,” Mr McRae said. Continued on page 2

A marquee has been set up outside of the Emergency Department to triage suspected cases before they enter the building. COVID inpatient units will be sealed off in a negative pressure zone to stop the virus escaping, with portable hepa-filters to clean the air. The hospital is also getting 15 medi-hoods which cover patient beds, equipped with a fan-filter exhaust that draws out 99 per cent of aerosols. LRH COVID coordinator Amy Aeschlimann said the hospital had spent the past 18 months preparing and training staff, with new protocols in place to handle the Delta variant. “It’s going to be really challenging and we know that, but our staff are really well prepared and are familiar with what we need to do so when the need

arises we won’t hesitate,” Ms Aeschlimann said. “Intensive care nurses deal with confronting issues every day, but this COVID outbreak has upped-the-ante for everyone and made it difficult for patients with restrictions for visitors. “Our nursing staff have had to step-up to fill these roles to provide patients with companionship and care they would normally receive from their family present.” However, LRH is still sending COVID positive maternity cases to Monash Health, but has set up an emergency birthing room for women presenting with coronavirus. It comes after the hospital’s maternity unit went into isolation a fortnight ago when a positive case turned up, causing 40 staff including mid-wives, nurses and cleaners to be furloughed. Mr McRae said he expected all staff to be back on board by mid-this week.

Latrobe City’s cases still rising By GREGOR MACTAGGART

LATROBE City’s total of active COVID-19 cases has broken through the 100 barrier. Despite the snap seven-day lockdown ending as scheduled on Tuesday night, the region’s case numbers continue to increase. The century mark was hit on Saturday and as of last night, the figure had climbed to 118 on the back of a record 22 cases in a 24-hour reporting period. Nine were in the 3844 postcode (Traralgon district), seven in the 3825 postcode (Moe/ Newborough district) and six in the 3840 postcode (Morwell district). The surge has sparked fears in the general public of another lockdown, although there was no word from the state’s health officials last night. Despite the rise in cases, the number of Tier 1 exposure sites in Latrobe City remains at eight. They include Morwell Park Primary School on Monday, October 4 from 9am-3.15pm and Chemist Discount Centre in Churchill on Wednesday, September 29 from 10am-5.30pm. Morwell Park has been closed since last Thursday following the confirmation of a COVID-19 case on site. Morwell Park Primary principal Chris Joustra said in a statement released on social media yesterday that “contact tracing at our school is ongoing and so, for now, our school site must stay closed”. Remote learning will continue for all grades from Prep through to Grade 6. Morwell Central Primary School will be closed today after it was advised a confirmed case of COVID-19 attended the school. “Our school will be closed on Monday, October 11 for 24 hours as a precaution to undergo necessary cleaning and to identify students or staff who may have had close contact with the case,” principal Justine Smyth said in a statement last night. “As a precaution, please ensure your child/ children remains isolated tomorrow. If we do not contact you tomorrow to say your child/children has/have been identified as a close contact, your children should return to school on Tuesday, October 12.” Glengarry Primary School has also been advised of a confirmed COVID-19 case within its school community, but on the advice of the Health and Education departments, said it is not required to close.

Case numbers per day Sunday, October 10 - 22. Saturday, October 9 - 7. Friday, October 8 - 6. Thursday, October 7 - 15. Wednesday, October 6 - 8. Tuesday, October 5 - 7. Monday, October 4 - 13. CURRENT TOTAL OF ACTIVE CASES - 118.

“Anyone who attended the school on Tuesday, October 5 is asked to restrict movements until further advised,” the school said in a statement yesterday. It comes just days after the state’s chief health officer, Professor Brett Sutton announced new rules would apply in Victoria with all schoolchildren

in Grade 3 and above required to wear masks indoors at school. Masks indoors at school have been strongly recommended, but are not compulsory for children from Prep through to Grade 2. “In many states in America, school mask mandates have been put in place and they have helped to reduce transmission,” he said. “It really has been shown that where there are multiple layers of risk mitigation within schools that you can keep a cap on transmission and have kids return safely to that environment.” The growing outbreak in Latrobe City is mirrored in the neighbouring Baw Baw Shire, which had 31 new cases yesterday. Latrobe City and Baw Baw last night accounted for 206 of the 227 active cases in the Gippsland region. Latrobe City’s first-dose vaccination rate will power past the 80 per cent mark when the latest figures are released, possibly as soon as today. The latest figure of 79.3 per cent draws back to Monday, October 4, but Gippsland Region Primary Health Unit reported numbers continue to be strong at vaccination centres and clinics throughout the region. A pop-up vaccination clinic was established at Morwell’s Kurnai College and provided Moderna doses from Friday through to yesterday. Earlier in the week when the snap lockdown ended as scheduled, Premier Daniel Andrews acknowledged the efforts of the local community. “I would like to thank the people of Latrobe City, the (lockdown) strategy has worked and I wish you well,” Mr Andrews said. “The people of Traralgon, Morwell, Moe and other towns came out and got tested.” Department of Health deputy secretary Kate Matson said last week that they had a “greater understanding” of the Latrobe City outbreak. “The first dose vaccination rate (in Latrobe) has grown six percentage points in the past week and we thank the residents of Latrobe. That figure is above the state average for growth, so with the increased vaccination rates at our sites in Latrobe, it is one of the reasons we feel confident enough to lift the lockdown,” Ms Matson said. Greater Shepparton was another regional area which had the lockdown shackles released late last week, although a snap lockdown came into effect for Mildura at midnight on Friday.

Sex work on the agenda By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City councillors knocked back a controversial motion put forward by Cr Dale Harriman to oppose new laws around decriminalising sex work in Victoria. The state government had announced in August it was overhauling 30-year-old legislation to remove offences and criminal penalties for consensual sex work. Current laws mean street-based sex work is a crime in Victoria, however, registered brothels, escort agencies and private sex work is allowed under licensing. Sex work will instead be regulated through government and public health channels, with the state government to work with local governments on updating planning laws. But Cr Harriman opposed the changes, fearing it could pave the way for street soliciting or brothels to operate “next to homes, kindergartens, schools, day care centres, women’s refuges and churches”. Cr Harriman stressed he was not opposed to the concept of decriminalising sex work, but the potential for local governments to have little say on where this could take place. “It needs to happen in a designated area that can be maintained safely and in an area that if the community did not want to be involved, they could stay away from it,” Cr Harriman said. “We don’t want to have an application for a brothel as a home-based business to go in opposite a school and have the community jump up and down, but have it rubber stamped by the minister.” Cr Harriman also raised a raft of other concerns surrounding a lack of adequate consultation, and a potential for “crime groups” to operate in the community if de-licensing went ahead. However, Cr Kellie O’Callaghan labelled the motion as “fear based” and it did not address the intent of the legislation. Cr O’Callaghan also pointed out that there had been a two-week consultation process in conjunction with peak bodies, government agencies and community groups. She said the motion did not address the importance of decriminalising the industry particularly around conditions for its workers. “Predominately the women who work in this industry may have had to do so in some fairly unsafe conditions,” Cr O’Callaghan said. “And the provisions for their support, opportunities for care, and industry standards and conditions that are necessary for them. “It’s been three decades since this legislation has been updated, so this is an indication how archaic it is and how out-of-date it is, there needs to be some changes.”

Seeing double over street name By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has found itself in an “embarrassing” position being forced to re-name a Morwell street so as not to double-up on two roads with the same name. Latrobe City is proposing to re-name Ashley Avenue – which runs off Alliss Street - to Nathan Avenue, so as not to confuse it with another nearby newer road off Maryvale Road. The duplicated moniker is not allowed within 15 kilometres in regional urban areas under place naming rules, as it may confuse emergency services, mail or utility deliveries. The original Ashley Avenue was created in 1974 and named in memory of Ashley Nathan Bond, so the new signage would adopt his middle name. The new Ashley Avenue was named in 2005 as part of the Heritage Boulevard Estate. But Latrobe City found it would be more practical to re-name the original Ashley Avenue as only three

properties would be affected, rather than 35 homes in the newer Ashley Avenue. Cr Graeme Middlemiss pointed out the flaws in street naming policies at Latrobe City’s October meeting. “I find this proposal embarrassing. This is a most unfortunate situation where a lack of planning rules around our naming of streets has led to a

great deal of embarrassment,” Cr Middlemiss said. “There are a lot of houses on that road and the people in those houses won’t want to change their driver’s licences, or their bills, credit cards. They won’t want to change their addresses on that.” Latrobe City will now go out for community consultation over the proposed name change, after it received objections from property owners on the Ashley avenues. Ashley Bond’s family was advised of the proposed name change, and stated while disappointed, they understood the reason, and asked for the existing street sign once it was replaced. “We need to sit down with the person who had the original naming rights. There’s a lot of family sensitivity around this, and we can see if we can work our way through,” Cr Middlemiss said. “There will be some considerable disappointment from the family who originally named this road ... I think council is obliged to work with them to calm the concerns.”

Hall upgrade

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City councillors argued whether The Wiggles or Pseudo Echo were the best live gigs at Kernot Hall, after council gave the green light for the first round of upgrades at the Morwell venue. The Kernot Hall revamp will include a host of works including internal electricals, fire escape, toilet, kitchen and stage access. The works come courtesy of a $2.5 million state government loan to kick start stage one of the project, which must be finished by September 2023 under the funding conditions. It means Latrobe City has two years to engage an architect, advertise a tender and finalise the project. Cr Dale Harriman said Kernot Hall had served the community well over the years but it was now getting “tired and dated”. “It’s time it was given some love and TLC and upgraded into a venue that can help serve the tourism business push that Latrobe City is endeavouring to take on,” Cr Harriman said. “I think there are a number of councillors who went to balls at Kernot Hall, Christmas break-ups at Kernot Hall and concerts. I think there were a few of us at The Wiggles concert at Kernot Hall.” Cr Harriman pointed out the success of a Maltese Festival which drew busloads of visitors to Kernot Hall, spilling out into the surrounding parkland. “It’s provided a huge service to the community, but now it needs some love and money spent on it,” he said. Cr Kellie O’Callaghan agreed, but stated, “just to be very clear, the best concert at Kernot Hall was Pseudo Echo”. Latrobe City will need to source more funding to complete stage two of the upgrade, expected to cost another $3 million. Cr Graeme Middlemiss supported the first tranche of upgrades, but flagged an objection to a future concept plan that would involve paving parts of the parkland to create the forecourt.

Final countdown: A major piece of the Valley’s power producing history will be gone late this week with the final Hazelwood boiler house scheduled to hit the ground. file photograph

Last boiler house set to fall A MAJOR piece of the Valley’s power producing history will be gone late this week with the final Hazelwood boiler house scheduled to hit the ground. ENGIE Hazelwood expects the demolition to take place on either Thursday or Friday between 10am and 4pm, subject to favourable wind and cloud cover to mitigate dust and noise. The final collapse of Boiler House 1 follows the demolition of the old power station’s eight chimneys, the previous three boiler houses and all large mining equipment in open cut. As with the previous demolitions, there will be an exclusion zone set-up with Brodribb Road between Nadenbousch’s Road and Cemetery Avenue will be closed. Traffic on the Princes Freeway and Strzelecki Highway will be slowed with controls in place to stop people from parking on the roadside while demolition is underway. “While controls have been implemented to reduce external noise emissions as much as possible, local

residents are likely to hear a loud noise at the time of the demolition for a few seconds,” an ENGIE spokesman said. “This is unavoidable, given the size of the structure, and the nature and placement of the explosive charges necessary to safely affect a controlled collapse.” Hazardous material including asbestos has also been removed and the demolition is not expected to create airborne asbestos outside the immediate works zone. “Asbestos air monitors will be set up at the site boundary locations and surrounding the fell zone,” the spokesman said. “All asbestos-contaminated materials will be transported on internal roads to the EPA-licensed, onsite asbestos cell for safe disposal after the boiler houses are demolished.” Demolition contractor Delta Group is carrying out the collapse under the oversight of WorkSafe Victoria and the Environment Protection Authority.

Be a part of the fun: Moore St will be a hive of activity for this week’s Moe Cup Sale, starting on Friday, October 15. photograph liam durkin

Bag a bargain at this year’s Moe Cup Sale WITH only 10 weeks until Christmas the Moe Cup Sale has always been a great opportunity to get some early Christmas shopping done. Bringing much needed trade from other towns, for Moe, this has been something that the local retailers have looked forward to every year. However, when the latest lockdown was announced, the Moe Trader’s hearts sank. Plans for the upcoming and much anticipated Moe Cup Sale had to be put on hold. But all was not lost and due to the fantastic effort of Latrobe City citizens in stopping the spread of COVID-19 the restrictions were lifted just in time. In a mad frenzy of activity, everyone pulled together and made sure that the Sale could now

go ahead. Now the Moe Cup Sale is set to bring bargain hunters back to Moe this weekend. Starting on Friday, October 15 and continuing into Saturday, the sale will offer shoppers reductions on everything from beds to beer. Bargains can be had on gifts, clothing, books, craft supplies, plants, alcohol, jewellery, furniture, pet’s accessories, winter stock and more. There is also four Latrobe City Gift Cards to be won. With online shipping delays causing Christmas gift deliveries to be in question, this could be a great opportunity to skip the stress and support local business.

Traralgon eyesore is no more

ONE of Traralgon’s renowned eyesores is no more. The former D.R.S Motors building on the Princes Highway was demolished last month. The site was the subject of much attention through the years despite being unoccupied for more than two decades. It occupies a prime position in the growing town and interest surrounds what will spring up on the site.

I Hear Tell

SOLD ON TYPO THERE’S a great old saying about doctors burying their mistakes, lawyers jailing theirs and journalists printing them on the front page. Well in our case – Page 3. The Express on Monday, September 27 said “legal auction is launched” instead of “legal action is launched”. Thanks to the hundreds of readers who contacted the office via phone and email to let us know about the error.

Then: The former D.R.S Motors site on the Princes Highway in Traralgon, which had been one of the town’s eyesores for many years.

TRARALGON’S APEX PARK OUT OF ACTION LATROBE City Council says Traralgon’s Apex Park will take a summer sojourn this cricket season for a major resurfacing project. The ground will be out of action until late March 2022 as works to completely strip and re-shape the surface take place, as well as the implementation for summer sports. Council has thanked Centrals Cricket Club for its co-operation

and willingness to relocate for the 2021-22 cricket season to allow the major renovation to occur.

FROM THE ARCHIVES THIS week’s instalment comes from I Hear Tell on February 27, 1986. Morwell MLA, Val Callister, prefers to travel by train to Melbourne on parliamentary business instead of using her car, but now she’s not so sure. Last week, Ms Callister went to catch the late train from Flinders Street Station, only to find it wasn’t running and a bus would transport passengers to Dandenong. When the bus arrived at Dandenong there were still problems, so it was decided to run the bus to Traralgon, dropping off passengers on route. The only trouble was, after a hard day and night in Parliament House, Ms Callister dozed off up the back of the bus. The bus arrived at Traralgon and had reached Moe on the return strip when Ms Callister awoke. Fortunately the obliging driver agreed to take her back to Traralgon!

Get vaccinated: Nik Voss, with Naz and Shahnaz Rind in Morwell last week.

Vaccination vans around the Valley

COVID-19 Vaccination Vans were out in force in Morwell last week. The Department of Justice, in collaboration with the Gippsland Region Public Health Unit, are behind the initiative. Their goal is to encourage local Aboriginal communities to get vaccinated, ensuring they receive appropriate information and care throughout Gippsland. Those involved are members of local Aboriginal communities. Nik Voss, from the Department of Justice and Naz Rind and Shahnaz Rind from the Department of Health manned a van on Thursday afternoon.

Local artist’s exhibition at ARC Yinnar STAFF at Federation University Arts Academy Gippsland have celebrated the success of Christine Bourchier - the Emerging Artist recipient of 2020 - with a solo exhibition of her graduate work with some new additions at the ARC Yinnar Gallery. “Supported by our partners Latrobe Regional Gallery and ARC Yinnar Christine’s work demonstrates her ability to refine her ideas and aesthetic with outstanding results,” a university spokesperson said. “Her work uses a range of media and links the beauty of life cycles with the environmental challenges of human collaboration and change.” Currently on display in Yinnar “Tenuous Perceptions” is an exhibition of photographs, printmaking and drawings that explores Christine’s experience with and reaction to natural objects and the use of plastic

wrappings. Shrink-wrapped plants, leaves and gumnuts are presented as colour photographs, where the viewer may identify the objects compressed into strange shapes. These are images where the manmade and the organic meet. Christine explores the progression of time and the stages of life cycles in nature, with a series of photographs of wrinkled and decaying pears. The artist and her husband are farmers at Flynn near Traralgon, with plenty to inspire her creative work. During the 2020 COVID restrictions, Christine focused her attention on things close at hand. “I gave myself time to revel in the detail of anything that caught

my eye. Whilst walking, I often encountered discarded and degrading plastic, sometimes intrigued by how organic it appeared. There can be something quite seductive about plastic, yet also something decidedly sinister,” she said. In the exhibition, she includes old pieces and brand-new lengths of silage plastic to create floating structures which punctuate the display and lead the visitor around the exhibition. The ARC Yinnar Gallery’s opening hours are Thursday to Sunday 12 noon-4pm. The “Tenuous Perceptions” exhibition continues until Sunday, October 17, entry is free. For more information contact the arc office 5163 1310 or arcyinnar@ speedweb.com.au.

CLEAN UP & PLAN NOW!

Start preparing now LATROBE City residents should start preparing their properties for this summer’s fire danger period.

Despite high rainfall over winter and spring, the risk of bushfires, as we approach the warmer months throughout Latrobe City and wider Gippsland region remains high. “As well as rural areas, bushfires can affect residents of urban areas such as Traralgon, Churchill, Moe and Morwell where there are private gardens, as well as reserves and grassland that may be prone to ember attack from nearby bushfires,” Latrobe City Council chief executive officer Steven Piasente said.

If you have any concerns, contact Latrobe City on 1300 367 700.

If you receive a fire prevention notice, you can request an extension of time to complete all or any works stated on the notice by contacting Council before the due date.

Council officers will conduct fire prevention inspections from mid-November throughout the fire danger period, as determined by CFA.

On hot, dry, windy days, fires can start and spread quickly. If the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red, leaving early before a fire has started is the safest option.

All grass, weeds, undergrowth and/ or combustible materials within 30 metres of buildings (i.e. a dwelling or an outbuilding) should be no taller than 75 millimetres.

For more information about preparing for emergencies, including bushfire, visit this page on Council’s website: https:// www.latrobe.vic.gov. au/Community/ Emergencies/ Emergency Management.

THE latest weather data shows parts of Victoria are forecast to have a wet spring. This is predicted to lead to continued strong grass growth and the potential of increased grassfire conditions once the vegetation dries out. The quarterly national Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for September to November, was developed by the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC), the Bureau of Meteorology and state fire services agencies. AFAC is the national council for fire and emergency services.

Across pastures in the southwest fire district, upper and lower soil layers are already saturated meaning the average to above average rainfall forecast for spring will likely lead to normal to above normal pasture growth conditions. Along the coastal and foothill forests of Gippsland, the monthly rainfall in July was below average.

Given spring’s outlook of higher-thanaverage temperatures and average rainfall along the coast of eastern Victoria, the Gippsland fire season is

likely to start in early summer. Spring is historically a more challenging time of year for large scale planned burning due to less predictable weather conditions, such as wind. However, the higher moisture levels in forest areas may provide opportunities to carry out planned burning this year. Planned burning works are supported with an increase in mechanical fuel management including slashing and mulching, as well as creating and maintaining fuel breaks to reduce the bushfire risk for communities and the environment. Preparations by the emergency management sector for the 2021-2022 spring and summer season will incorporate planning for the risk of fire and extreme weather, with the added complexity of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Emergency Management Victoria will continue to work closely with the emergency services sector to ensure the safety of Victorian communities.

CLEAN UP & PLAN NOW!

“THE spring outlook gives us an early indication of what Victoria could expect over the summer season and will be updated in November as predictions firm up.” “New growth resulting from high rainfall raises the potential for grassfires which can move quickly and threaten properties and life.” “We’re never complacent about the risk of fire and severe weather throughout the year. We treat each season with the same high level of preparation to ensure community safety.” Emergency Management Commissioner, Andrew Crisp

THE HVP Plantations team is again working hard to ensure the company is well prepared for the threat of fire during the upcoming warmer months. They continue to invest in, and develop, the skills of more than 120 company firefighters through a structured CFA Forest Industry Brigade, and actively participate in regular training and skills maintenance. They have an additional 150 firefighters located throughout Victoria, with more resources available throughout Queensland and New Zealand if required. HVP has fire tankers and slip-on units located across the Gippsland estate. These resources are continually maintained and prepared in the event that they may be needed at any time. The local community also benefits from HVP’s dedicated resources and the skills and abilities of their staff and contractors, with more than half the fires HVP Plantations crews attended in recent years starting outside of the plantation boundaries.

They will again be contracting a dedicated firefighting helicopter for the period of the highest fire risk. On days of higher fire risk, HVP fire towers will be manned and fire vehicles will be patrolling plantation areas to ensure any fire is detected quickly and responded to in the shortest possible time. Fire prevention activities will continue throughout spring, including firebreak and track maintenance around plantations and checking fire dams to ensure they are accessible, signed and mapped.

and impact of bushfire arson across Gippsland. Arson is a crime no matter how big or small the damage, and the local community plays an integral role in the reduction of arson related crimes. Research indicates that a community that is paying attention to what occurs within it, can play an important part in assisting Crime Stoppers and Police through reporting suspicious activity. This may include, but is not limited to, dumped cars, rubbish and unattended camp fires or burn offs.

A continuing problem for the community is the issue of arson. Statistics indicate that a significant proportion of fires that effect our plantations are started “by the hand of man”. Some fires may be accidental, but many are deliberate and avoidable. Through the Gippsland Arson Prevention Program (GAPP), HVP Plantations actively partners with 21 other government agencies and private companies including Victoria Police, CFA and DELWP to reduce the incidence

Reports can be made direct to HVP Plantations on (03) 5122 0600, anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or by contacting your local Police station. Even the smallest piece of information may be a vital link in either solving a crime or preventing another one. The Crime Stoppers message is a simple one: “If you’ve seen something, if you know something, say something”.

October 11 - October 17, 2021

Aries Rambunctious Rams: this week there’s the potential for explosive Sun-Pluto power struggles with an authority figure, work colleague or loved one (especially on Sunday). The situation is further complicated by Mercury being retrograde. So calm down and try to communicate with extra care and diplomacy, otherwise you could over-react and do or say something you later regret! Strive to be uncharacteristically patient and make frustration your friend. Taurus It will be very easy to say the

wrong thing to the wrong person, as Mercury is retrograde. Making controversial comments will just land you in hot water, so think things through and choose your words wisely. You can also expect some delays or disruptions to your daily routine. A fun and flexible attitude will help you navigate the week in a more positive fashion. The weekend favours socialising with family and exercising with friends (in Covid-safe ways).

GGemini When it comes to communication

and conversation, you’ve certainly got the Gemini gift of the gab. But Mercury (your patron planet) is in retrograde motion (until October 18) so be careful you don’t blurt out remarks that you later regret. Try to be disciplined with yourself and compassionate towards others. Take the time to contemplate the wise words of birthday great Oscar Wilde: “Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us.”

Cancer There could be cross words

between you and a relative, as you seem to be heading in different directions. Remember the good times you’ve enjoyed together and search for common ground. Things will look a lot brighter in the morning. Your motto for the week is from birthday great Eleanor Roosevelt: “With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” If you are single, you could find yoursellf fallling for a busiiness collleague or a workk mate.

Leo Mercury is reversing through your

communication zone, and there’s a challenging square between Pluto and the Sun. So try to avoid online arguments and run-ins with authority figures. If you are the person in charge, then resist the urge to be bossy and over-bearing. Behaving like a demanding Diva will get you nowhere fast! Try to be extra patient …which is not one of your natural virtues. For some lucky Leos, Jupiter blesses a community project or a joint venture.

Virgo g This week Mercury (your patron planet) is in retrograde mode. So the more unreliable, unpredictable and demanding others are, the more you will shift into fussy, finicky, obsessive mode. You’ll feel less stressed if you take ten deep breaths, try to relax and keep things in perspective. Remember – you can’t control what other people say and do, but you can control how you respond. The weekend is good for rebooting your budget or going on an outdoor adventure.

Libra The Sun, Mars and Mercury are

transiting through your sign, which highlights your charm, creativity and joie de vivre. But Mercury is in retrograde mode (until October 18) which increases your tendency to be indecisive and sit on the fence. So try not to be too wishy-washy this week! Focus on the things you do well, as you appreciate and celebrate your Librans talents. Be inspired by birthday great Oscar Wilde: “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”

Scorpio p On Friday, the Sun and Jupiter encouraage you to reach out and help a family member or someone within your local community. Then the Sun squares powerful Pluto (your ruler) on Sunday, which boosts your temperamental streak and your Scorpio control-freak tendencies. And you may feel like you’re stuck in a rut or even going backwards. The more stubborn you are, the more challenging the week will be. So keep your options open and try to be more flexible. Sagittarius g Prepare to inspire others

withh your high spirits and contagious enthusiasm. You’re at your buoyant best on Friday, when the Sun and Jupiter boost confidence levels and put extra wind in your Sagittarian sails. But a situation (involving friends or finances) looks complicated on the weekend, when someone could misinterpret your actions. Ask for some clarification, otherwise you could find yourself jumping to hasty conclusions! Patience is the key.

Capricorn The mid-week Venus/Saturn connection is promising for confidence levels, long-term love, a business partnership and planning your future direction. An unresolved personal problem has got your head in a spin but do your best to sort out any ongoing dramas. A work colleague, client or customer could be anything but reasonable on the weekend. Try to project a cool, calm and collected Capricorn persona, as you focus on being extra positive and prodducttive. Aquarius q You’re keen to expand your world

via exciting foreign friendships and international contacts. If you link up with like-minded people, then it will open new doors of opportunity. But Mercury is retrograde so it will take time. You also need to be careful what you post online, as a casual comment could be taken out of context and lead to controversy. Expect the sparks to fly on the weekend, when the Sun/Pluto square stirs up a problem from the past.

Get screened: The BreastScreen van will be in Moe from Monday, October 18 to Friday, October 29. photograph supplied

Breast screening van to set up shop in Moe By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

BREASTSCREEN Victoria’s van will be offering free breast screening in Moe from October 18-October 29. The bright pink van, dubbed ‘Nina’, will be situated in the Moe Coles Supermarket car park, at 92 Albert St. All breast screens are with a female radiographer, and a doctor’s referral or Medicare card is not required. According to BreastScreen Victoria women aged between 50 and 74 should have a breast screen every two years, as this age group has the highest risk of developing the disease. The van was last visited Moe in 2019, so now is the perfect time for previous clients to visit again. Through screening, cancer can be found as small as a grain of rice - which is long before it can be seen or felt. “This visit to Moe has been organised to make sure women in every part of Victoria have access to a potentially life-saving mammogram,” BreastScreen Victoria chief executive officer Terri Smith said. “The vans use the highest quality digital radiography machines to ensure that women receive the best service, regardless of their location.” Ms Smith encourages local women to take advantage of this free service.

Pisces Expect flashes of creative and spiritual inspiration on Friday, when your imagination and intuition kick in. The rest of the week looks intense, as retrograde Mercury stirs up inner compulsions, submerged secrets or hidden resentments. You could also become possessive about a person or material object. Try to keep things in perspective and learn to let go. As birthday great Hugh Jackman observes: “You can’t go through life obsessing about what might have been.”

Vicki Hamilton, who is also the Asbestos Council of Victoria chief executive officer, has been accessing BreastScreen services for the past 10 years. Mrs Hamilton recommends every woman to go and have their screening done “because you never know”. “It is a really quick, efficient service and it doesn’t hurt to have it done, it’s certainly lifesaving,” she said. “To have the van is terrific. It’s much more convenient.” The van will be operating with COVIDSafe measures, and all clients must wear a facemask unless exempt. BreastScreen Victoria “aims to maximise the early detection of breast cancer” within the members of the population at highest risk. According to the organisation, one in seven women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, with major risk factors being family history and age. More than 75 per cent of all women diagnosed in Australia are aged 50 years or over. The free breast screening available in Moe uses 2D mammography, and is the best way to detect breast cancer early. However, if you have any symptoms, BreastScreen Victoria recommends visiting your general practitioner. To make an appointment visit, breastscreen.org. au or call 13 20 50.

Costly decision: The state government’s plan to close Victoria’s native forest industry and replace it with plantations would cost more than $1 billion over 30 years, according to a Latrobe Valley forestry expert. file photograph

Counting cost of government plan

By PHILIP HOPKINS

Plantations had been burnt by fire, he said, while “the area and log supply from softwood plantations has plateaued and may decline”. Also, there was potential for an adverse impact of more plantations on stressed water catchments. Mr Cameron said small holdings and high land costs in Gippsland made it very difficult to acquire land for new plantations, particularly for eucalypts with their high site requirements, such as deep soil and high rainfall. It was a challenge to secure enough land to establish a log supply large enough to support a mill of sufficient scale. It was also difficult to justify the huge investment in new reconfigured mills to handle the poorer size and quality of plantation-grown logs. “Plantation hardwood or softwood timber is no substitute for timber harvested from native forests and is inferior for sawn timber,” he said. “Native forest timber is a far more ecologically sustainable building material than plantation timber, which requires intensive cultivation, weed control, fertiliser and silvicultural inputs.” Mr Cameron said in Australia, there were more failed or sub-economic eucalypt plantations than successful ones. The managed investment schemes (MIS) charged huge fees and leveraged off favourable tax advantages and still failed. The huge investment required to replace native forest investment was unlikely to be completed. “The ‘Forestry Plan’ will result in the use of more imports with high ‘timber miles’ or less sustainable

building materials and further adverse socioeconomic impacts for Victorian ‘timber towns’,” he said. Once native forest supply is reduced from 2024, Opal Australian Paper in the Latrobe Valley will have fewer hardwood woodchips available for copy paper production, and none after 2030. Native forest woodchips supply about one third of AP’s timber needs, but so far the government has only planted 250 ha of blue gums to replace native forest. Nathan Trushell told a recent seminar that there were six potential investors are interested in the state government’s $110 million program to invest in new plantations in the Latrobe Valley. Mr Trushell, Executive Director, Forest and Fibre in the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, said Opal Australian Paper had recently bought a packaging business for $1.7 billion and had a strong focus on growing its package business. Globally, white paper was in decline, and had been hit by the COVID virus. In the strategic longterm, Opal would be more focussed on packaging business. “This is partly why we are working through the program to get the right species – it will be pine focused,” he said. Mr Trushell said the state government’s long-term forestry plan had committed funding until 2032. Apart from the $110 million, there was a $120 million support package for workers, businesses and local communities.

GP1633370

THE state government’s plan to close Victoria’s native forest industry and replace it with plantations would cost more than $1 billion over 30 years, according to a Latrobe Valley forestry expert. Traralgon consultant John Cameron said replacing the one million cubic metres now supplied from native forest required an area of 70,000-140,000 gross hectares and an investment of $1b-$1.5b in land and plantation costs over 30 years. He was commenting on the state government’s ‘Forestry Plan’ that aims to close the native forest industry, much of it in Gippsland, by 2030. VicForests will begin cutting back on supply after 2024.

Mr Cameron has a Diploma of Horticulture and an MBA, is a former chairman of Private Forestry Gippsland, and has been involved in tree breeding, forest genetics and the CRC for Forestry and CRC for Pulp and Paper Science Monash. He has worked in forestry for 50 years and has studied plantation development in 15 countries, including assessing the potential of about 1000 properties in Gippsland for pine and eucalypt development. Mr Cameron said apart from the long 30-year lead time and high costs, land was scarce and investment returns were relatively low. “In Victoria and particularly Gippsland, plantation area and future plantation supply are declining,” he said.

The first two days the weather was dismal, leaving no other choice but to redirect participants to the Youth Space Building for shelter. But no matter the weather, the Streetgames crew make the best of the situation, playing Ping Pong, Finska, Croquet, and attempting TikTok dances. “Finska is actually really fun,” exclaimed one

participant after participating for the first time. On September 23, Streetgames were lucky to enjoy the sun playing Finska, nibbling on snacks, and reaching out to young people at Morwell Skatepark. Earlier in the month, GippSport Streetgames collaborated with Latrobe City Council and Latrobe YouthSpace to provide a live informal discussion in support of RU OK? Day 2021. This year the message was ‘Are they really OK?’. The Streetgames Federation University Social Soccer training sessions have been growing in popularity with 13 teams of five people registered.

Extra support for job seekers

VICTORIANS can how access free advice and support from a large team of advocates, mentors, and career councillors. Employment Minister Jaala Pulford last week released information on the 600-strong workforce designed to help Victorians get back to work. “These Jobs Victoria employment services are creating big changes in the lives of job seekers, giving them access to hundreds of people who will help them find work,” Ms Pulford said. The $260 million service is part of the government’s Jobs Victoria initiative. Through the program, those looking for employment can access help from mentors who first help them find a job, and then continue to support them over the next six months in their new position. These mentors will be available to Victorians who have been unemployed for six months or more. Additionally, a career councillor service is available to help those accessing the service to understand their career options and goals. “By helping people find a job that suits them, we’re providing thousands of Victorians with financial independence and security,” Ms Pulford said. Jobs Victoria services are delivered by 75 partners across the state, and for those in areas with restrictions they can be accessed over the phone and online. For more information, visit jobs.vic.gov.au or call 1300 208 575.

Community cafe opens in Morwell

A KINDER Cup will officially open in Morwell today. An initiative from Morwell Neighbourhood House (MNH), the café was originally set to open in September. However, as a result of the most recent lockdown, the exciting event had to be delayed. MNH manager Tracie Lund said the lockdown was a bit of setback. “Like everyone else we’ve adhered to the restrictions of the lockdown, so it has meant that we haven’t been able to open when we were hoping too,” she said. “We have decided to open, and basically just get started because we know there’s a lot of excitement and a lot of support in our community for A Kinder Café.” Ms Lund and her team have been busy fitting out the café, and training staff in preparation for opening day. Staff training has been also impacted by lockdowns. “Apart from our café manager everyone will be learning,” she said. “(The team) are committed to training our staff as we go ... and are very excited to be at this point. “We are here to support people in their work life journey and getting them where they need to go.” A Kinder Cup will not only offer coffee, but a variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and sweet treats. Included in their menu will be egg and bacon rolls, breakfast wraps, rice paper rolls and an assortment of fresh salads. Most of the cafe’s food has “either been sourced locally or made on site,” making an effort to support local suppliers where possible. At the moment, the cafe’s opening hours will be 8am-2pm. However, Ms Lund said they are hoping that it won’t be too long until they are extending the cafe’s hours. “Any profits that are made from the café will go directly to the MNH charity and our work in the community with emergency food relief and other support services as required,” she said. “As we establish ourselves, we will be able to extend that opportunity to support other local non for profit and community groups.” The café will be a welcome source of stable income for MNH, which is often reliant on government grants and community donations. Ms Lund said managing inconsistent funding can be difficult at times. The cafe’s mission is to “foster compassion, contribution, and connection”, “provide meaningful work experience opportunities” and spread the love. The community has already had a chance to get involved with the café, when earlier in the year they were given the opportunity to vote on a name, and A Kinder Cup was chosen. The café is located at the Morwell GovHub on Church St. Page 22 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 11 October, 2021

This police procedural is not like the other fish in the police procedural sea. Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, pictured) teems with charisma as the titular character: a book loving, straight-talking woman who is a single mother to a bad-tempered teenager. She has moved to Scotland to head up the Marine Homicide Unit, which is busy trying to solve maritime crimes in a by-the-numbers way – until Annika arrives. The first clue this detective isn’t like others is she references Moby Dick; she also breaks the fourth wall by wryly addressing the camera.

It features historians, experts, RAF pilots, some impressive flying skills, and a whole lot of Snow turning excitedly to the camera to offer up his thoughts and feelings. We follow Snow as he traces the footsteps of squadron leader Guy Gibson, recounting one of the most famous and shrewd bombing raids in history: Operation Chastise.

Witnessing an amateur cook burst into joyous tears after mastering a seaweed-seasoned fondue with a soufflé-style hat is heartwarming, but watching a well-known face walk the MasterChef tightrope between devastation and euphoria is downright fun. Seeing the participants, such as fashion designer Collette Dinnigan and Olympian Ian Thorpe (pictured), endeavour to be brilliant at something other than their former fields is intriguing. Tonight, the theme is “beauty and the beast”. It doesn’t involve cooking up a monstrously hairy creature, but there is a fearsome, beastly ingredient.

Added value: Wil Anderson returns with another season of Gruen.

On with the show: St Paul’s students during a full-cast online rehearsal.

St Paul’s students busy working on production

Preparation: During a time of relaxed COVID19 restrictions, St Paul’s students were able to rehearse “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” in person. Pictured is Year 10 student Sophie as Mary Poppins with cast members Finlay and Pragnya.

Hard at work: Set construction.

IN uncertain COVID times, when we all might be wishing for the appearance of a magical presence to help change things for the better, secondary students at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School have persevered through a series of lockdowns to pursue their performance dreams in their upcoming production of Mary Poppins JR. An enchanting musical adaptation of stories from P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins JR celebrates the classic with both memorable and charming new songs. In a series of magical and unforgettable adventures, nanny Mary Poppins arrives on the doorstep of the troubled Banks family and soon helps them in more ways than one, teaching lessons to family members on how to value each other. In ordinary circumstances, musicals require a lot of hard work to prepare for live performances, with lockdown interruptions creating a whole new set of challenges. Since the beginning of Term 2, students have rehearsed two to three times a week, and in periods of lockdown, they have continued rehearsing online via videoconference for an average of four hours a week, in addition to their regular studies. Students and staff have taken on the duties of choreographing individual songs, sets have been constructed at home, and prop and costume sourcing has required creative solutions. However, ever-hopeful that the show will go on, St Paul’s students and staff have worked tirelessly, being inspired by Mary Poppins’ advice that “Anything can happen if you let it”. Just like Mary has a profound effect on the Banks family, so too has the musical’s director Nathan Byrne inspired students, conducting every rehearsal with determination for the show to proceed. He is extremely proud of the students’ commitment to the show and said, “The students have been incredibly resilient throughout the frequent changes in rehearsal format, however, the show must go on! The students have kept smiling throughout, even when online. It has been quite incredible that we have been able to keep the show moving at this rate for such a long period of time this year, especially when there is so much uncertainty. It is important that students be given the chance to pursue their craft potential through the pandemic, as this is an incredibly important outlet for so many students”. The students remain optimistic that they will be able to perform and showcase their efforts in front of a live audience.

Family rallies around courageous father’s brain cancer battle

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A LATROBE Valley family have banded together to raise almost $11,000 for brain cancer research, participating in the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation’s ‘Walk 4 Brain Cancer’. Stephen Riess’ father, Gerry, was diagnosed with brain cancer in March 2020, since then the family has experienced “an emotional rollercoaster”. This was the first year Stephen and his family have organised a fundraiser to help fight the disease. When the opportunity to contribute to the cause came about “our family was quick to jump on board,” Stephen said. Stephen said it was his sister Alyson, who “got it all started and was the driving force”, adding “we have been completely overwhelmed by the generosity and support that we’ve received”. Their efforts were aided by their extended family, who “were fantastic in raising awareness and vital funds”. The family was backed by the Churchill United Soccer Club, who organised a raffle to raise money for the cause. Churchill United has been uniquely impacted by brain cancer, and Stephen’s family are not the only ones in the club’s community who have been touched by the disease. “The club has been fantastic,” Mr Riess told The Express, expressing his family’s sincere appreciation for the support they have received from Churchill United and its members. The winner of the club’s raffle was announced on Thursday, September 30. The soccer club said in their raffle announcement “this cause is close to our hearts here at Churchill United Soccer Club as it’s deeply impacted the lives of many members and families at our club”.

As a result of coronavirus restrictions, the raffle has had to be operated virtually. With the support of Australians, through various fundraisers and their annual ‘Walk 4 Brain Cancer’, the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation funds various research projects and clinical trials in a bid to find a cure for the disease. According to the foundation, “brain cancer survival rates are low and have hardly changed for 30 years, despite significant increases in survival for Australians diagnosed with other types of cancer, such as prostate and breast cancer”.

Maggie May’s milestone By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LOCAL golden retriever, Maggie May, celebrated her first birthday late last month. Maggie is a much loved community member in Morwell, and can often be seen visiting local cafes, the newsagency and local police station. Maggie’s owner, Mark Tanti, from Morwell’s Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS), said “she’s got some big fans”. Maggie, who gets her name from the classic Rod Stewart song, although already working with her owner at YSAS to brighten people’s day, is about to begin her official training as a therapy dog - working her human colleagues to deliver animal assisted therapy. Maggie has been working with YSAS since Mr Tanti first brought her home in November 2020, entering the workforce after Victoria’s first lockdown. “I got her on a Sunday at eight weeks old, and she came to work with me on the Monday,” he said. “She’s a real extrovert. She really likes being around people.” Mr Tanti’s interest in animal assisted care stems from an interaction his older dog, Barney, once had with a child in therapy. Barney was able to do what no human had done, he got the patient to open up. Mr Tanti explained that dogs can be “one way y of breaking g the ice”, they y get g kids to feel comfortable, relaxed and engaged. “It’s very y disarming g when you see a dog

Currently, Maggie spends time visiting children in residential care. “As soon as they see her, they’re all smiles... they’re taking her for walks with the staff, they’re playing with her and she’s assisting us in building relationships with the kids,” Mr Tanti said.

Human connection in the Valley focus of Advocate report LATROBE Valley Health Advocate Jane Anderson has released a report on human connection and belonging in the Valley. The Human Connections Campaign is headed by agencies in the Latrobe Health Innovation Zone, and aims to identify opportunities to increase social connections and community participation in the region. In the report, Ms Anderson said “there is no doubt that COVID-19 has changed the way people in Latrobe connect with and support each other. For some, feelings of loneliness and isolation are not unfamiliar, and the ongoing health effects of COVID-19 physical distancing measures may not yet be realised”. The organisations involved in the report include Latrobe Health Assembly, Latrobe City Council, Latrobe Valley Authority and Department of Families Fairness and Housing (DFFH). There were five themes considered, focusing on a variety of areas, including events and activities, impact of human connections on health and wellbeing and enablers of human connection. The report concluded that “there are people in Latrobe that continue to experience isolation or loneliness because of lack of infrastructure, availability, information or confidence,” despite enablers like digital connectivity. Suggestions made in the report include more technology education and training, public transport for community events, flexible and casual volunteering opportunities and the promotion of these opportunities. Also included were suggestions for more community events in the Valley, such as concerts, street festivals and farmers markets. Human Connections Project partners intend on “using these insights to advocate for policy and systems changes to address issues of social isolation and connection in Latrobe”.

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is encouraging photographers to make sure they get their photographs submitted to be considered for the 2022 #lovegippsland calendar. Mr Chester said the competition which is currently open, would provide 13 images to be featured in the new calendar. “Spring is a wonderful time in our region and it is a great time to get out with your camera and capture some of Gippsland’s beauty, if it is safe and appropriate to do so,” he said. “This year’s theme ‘100 per cent Authentic Gippsland’ is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the diversity of the region.” Mr Chester said plenty of keen photographers had already submitted their entries. “My office has been overwhelmed with entries already and I am extremely impressed by the high calibre,” Mr Chester said. “I encourage photographers looking to submit to have their entries in by October 13 to be considered for the calendar.”

Nature: The Slender Sun orchid.

“We quickly recognised the opportunity to help people develop the required skills to give a presentation or speech online and this makes Rostrum more relevant to the modern classroom and workplace. “Being able to adapt to change is important to the success of a group like ours and we are proud that this year our club successfully competed in a statewide online speaking competition for the first time.” The club fully expects to return to in-person meetings at the Morwell Bowling Club in February but intends to continue making meetings accessible via video conference.

Morwell Rostrum Club zooms ahead

DESPITE not being able to meet in-person throughout much of the pandemic, local public speaking training group Morwell Rostrum Club hasn’t skipped a beat. Club president Nicole Teijken says COVID-19 restrictions have been challenging but the group has adapted quickly to using video conferencing technology. “After some initial scepticism I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how adept we have become at using Zoom. Of course it’s not the same as speaking in front of a live audience and a different set of skills are required,” she said.

ABC Trailblazers program to showcase young regional leaders

APPLICATIONS are now open for the ABC’s 2022 Trailblazers program, which showcases the stories of regional Australia’s brightest new leaders. Trailblazers is an opportunity for people, aged from 18 to 28, who are driving positive social change projects in their regional communities, to have their work celebrated nationally. Successful applicants receive a broad range of support that includes having their story told on the ABC, exclusive access to the Trailblazer Development Fund and mentoring programs to help empower young regional leaders to share their stories and build their leadership capacity. Past Trailblazer winner Sam Wilson from South West Victoria created Sober Mates, an educational community that explores regional Australia’s relationship with alcohol. “This has been the most influential program I’ve done to bring Sober Mates to a larger audience and to build on what I have already created. I’m so thankful for the networks and resources this program gave me.” Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce encourages young changemakers to get involved. “The Trailblazers initiative is a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people running community-strengthening projects in regional Australia to take their work to the next level,” Mr Joyce said. “So many young people from our regions are having an incredible impact on their communities.

Wonderful: A koala in Morwell National Park

Trailblazers highlights the strength they demonstrate as emerging leaders, and their dedication and passion for driving change. “The Australian Government is proud to be an ongoing sponsor of Trailblazers, and the work it does to empower young Australians living in regional and remote areas.” Further support for the young regional leaders has been strengthened through the Trailblazer Development Fund. These exclusive grants have supported Trailblazers to expand their vision to make a difference in regional communities. ABC’s Regional and Local director Judith Whelan said the Trailblazers program was one of the ABC’s content partnerships she was most proud of. “Seeing some of last year’s inspiring projects grow and strengthen, has been a joy. This has only been possible through the grants made available by the Sally Foundation and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, and I thank them for it,” she said. “We are seeing real impact and real change in those regional communities that have benefited from when the Trailblazer first launched in 2017. Now, more regional communities – through the young leaders – have the opportunity to participate with the launch of Trailblazers 2022, and I look forward to seeing what great projects will come from it.” Dre Ngatokorua is an ABC Trailblazer from Port Augusta, South Australia. The proud Wangkangurru, Adnyamathanha, Kuyani, Luritja, Dieri, Yankunytjatjara man from Cook Islands and Maori ancestry, applied last year with his project ‘MoZzi: Always Remember to Stay Deadly!’ He is running various multimedia workshops in his community to give young people a voice and encourage them to think of media as a possible career option. “From a conversation with a friend about applying, I am so happy and

grateful I decided to submit my application. The Trailblazer program has helped me learn how to present an idea and bring it to life,” he said. “From the shared networks, the knowledge and the friendships, being a Trailblazer was an important step for me as a person. I have now grown as a leader in my community.” Who can apply to be a Trailblazer? Individuals and groups of up to three, aged 18-28, who are initiating projects that create positive change in their communities. From young community leaders to social entrepreneurs, advocates to event organisers, we’re looking for young people with a commitment to making regional Australia even better. What do Trailblazers receive? The chance to have their work featured on the ABC. Exclusive opportunities to apply for Trailblazer Development Fund grants, a partnership with the Sally Foundation and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal. Extensive networking, media and leadership opportunities. Applications close on Wednesday, November 10 2021. To apply, please visit abc.net.au/ trailblazers.

This is a must for all book readers, those who may have books at home they are too scared to open in case they fall apart or those that like to see these specialist fields continue in the future.

Traralgon & District Historical Society

THE Traralgon & District Historical Society Inc has made the decision to cancel the events scheduled for October, namely the Members Night and The Shire display which was to be held in the rooms. We hope that we will be able to hold our Annual Dinner which has now been rescheduled to Tuesday, November 9, 2021 (depending on COVID restrictions). The 2022 calendar is now available from NewspowerGo, Seymour Street Traralgon for $10 each. The calendar features “Local Remarkable Women”. We hope you can support the Society by purchasing a calendar. Delburn Wind Farm consultative committee supports Storm Recovery Fund OSMI Australia and Cubico Sustainable Investments are calling for applications for funding from the 2021 Delburn Wind Farm PreDevelopment Fund. The focus for the allocation of the $20,000 fund has been discussed with the Community and Stakeholder Consultative Committee, which will support OSMI and Cubico in the evaluation process for grant applications. Given the devastation caused in the region by the storms experienced in June 2021, it has been agreed that preference will be given to projects which support the repair of community infrastructure damaged by the storm or flooding or that improve community resilience in the event of natural disasters. OSMI and Cubico are open to projects that are co-funded.

In addition to the focus on storm recovery and improved community resilience, projects will be viewed favourably if they contribute to:  Building sustainable communities;  Enhancing community safety, health and wellbeing;  Supporting community education; and/or  Enhancing the natural environment. This is the second round of community support funding from the Delburn Wind Farm, with more to follow during the construction and operations phases of the project. Enquires about the fund can be directed to contactus@osmi.com.au, 1800 676 428 or in OSMI Australia’s Mirboo North office at 52 Ridgway (which will be open in line with COVID-19 restrictions). The application form is available on the OSMI website at https://osmi.com.au/community/ communitybenefits-scheme/ Applications will close on Friday, November 26, 2021.

Latrobe Valley coal mines part of climate research By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

www.latrobevalleyexpress.com.au

FEDERATION University researchers are using Latrobe Valley’s rehabilitated brown coal mines in an investigation into the impacts of climate change. Professor Thomas Baumgartl is leading the project, which will focus on how changes in rainfall patterns and increased drought will affect rehabilitated mines. Dr Baumgartl is currently the director of Federation University’s Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Engineering Research group. The project will be carried out over an 18 month period, and Dr Baumgartl said was a starting point to investigate if there are effects, and if there are effects, what is the magnitude of the impact which we can expect. The research hopes to highlight the impact that climate change will have on designing ground covers in mine rehabilitation, and will include glass house experiments and hydrological modelling. The state government has funded the project, which is costing $450,000, as part of the Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC-TiME). CRC-TiME was created in 2020, and aims to support the economic and social transition for Australian coal mining communities. The program is funded by the federal government’s Cooperative Research Centre Program, which was established in 1990 to aid Australian Industries in solving issues and develop new technologies and services. “This research will assess the risk of vegetation being impacted by the predicted change in climate and offer options for how to design soil covers to best cope,” Dr Baumgartl said. “The more you go into dry conditions... the smaller the vegetation density will become. “When we are rehabilitating mines, or disturbed environments even, and we are creating a soil, the soil is not necessarily equilibrium with the conditions. Soil development takes ten thousands of years. “While the research will focus on the Gippsland region, it’s hoped the findings will be a valuable tool for Australia’s mining sector more broadly.” As part of Latrobe Valley’s mine rehabilitation, part of the slopes will be covered in earthen material and soil. This prevents downslope movement and reduce the risk of erosion. Earth Resources Policy and Programs executive director Jane Burton said the research is needed. “The work of Federation University will support the transformation of Latrobe Valley’s brown coal mines to safe, stable and sustainable environments,” she said. In June 2020, the state government released the Latrobe Valley Regional Rehabilitation Strategy.

International Country Music Day is a hit THE students on campus at Morwell Central Primary School and those learning remotely, enjoyed celebrating International Country Music Day on the last day of Term 3. The event began in America in the 1950s and recognised around the world on September 17. This year’s theme in the Music Room has been ‘Country Music’ so the celebration was perfect timing. The students not only had the chance to listen to country songs they had been introduced to in class, but also had the opportunity to make some items that were related to them. For example, they made emus because they were familiar with John Williamson’s song, ‘Old Man Emu’.

A talented trio: Shahida, Hussain and Quinton jamming together on the guitars they made. photographs supplied Amongst other activities, the students also heard the story of Dolly Parton, created their own logo for International Country Music Day and made cool guitars using boxes and other craft materials.

International Country Music Day was a great way to end the term and the Morwell Central Primary School students are now looking forward to learning more about country music during Term 4.

Finesse: Kirra with the guitar she made in the shape of a butterfly which is Dolly Parton’s trademark symbol.

Sports dress up day at Sacred Heart STUDENTS at Sacred Heart Morwell Primary School were invited to participate in a sports code dress up day and encouraged to dress in their team colours to show support towards their favourite sport, for example football or soccer team. The playground was awash with colour, in support, especially when the students had the opportunity to show their team off by participating in an online assembly to include the students at home in remote learning. This gave the students the opportunity to talk about their favourite sports and their sporting champions. Most children dressed in their favourite Aussie Rules footy teams however, soccer club colours, netball, car racing teams, baseball and rugby were all featured. We all enjoyed the day championing our favourite sports heroes.

Some lessons for the Latrobe Valley’s battle against COVID

THE Colac, Shepparton and Bendigo communities have important lessons to offer the Latrobe Valley community and other regional communities in responding effectively to the current spike in COVID outbreaks. Essentially the lessons are: Don’t wait around for support from central governments (state or federal), take local initiatives. Central government support will come but it will be more effective if it is guided by local initiatives and intelligence. Colac When there was a COVID outbreak at the Colac lamb processing company last year, the Colac Area Health Health Service swept into action when the Colac community was unable to get immediate advice from COVID managers in the Department of Health in Melbourne (prior to Jeroen Weimar’s appointment). With the help of managers from the largest employers in the Colac food and timber processing companies and the support of the Colac Otway Shire, the Colac Area Health Service set-up their own COVID testing and tracking service and began to issue urgent information and advice to the worried householders in the Colac community. The service was supported by Barwon Heath, a regional component of the Department of Health which has also been notable for its proactivity during COVID. Barwon Health has since provided the template later adopted across the state where a local public health unit leverages detailed knowledge of local communities and gives contract tracers the best chance of tracking and controlling the spread of the virus. As a consequence of the timely local initiative, the Colac outbreak was brought under control. Epidemiologists have since heaped praise on the Colac community. Shepparton When a major outbreak occurred in Shepparton involving 120 infections, business and health leaders in the community did not wait for the cavalry to arrive from Spring Street or Canberra. Representatives from welfare, and indigenous communities joined business, local government and health leaders to form GV Cares Group. This group made sure everyone had access to food, medicines and essential supplies as some supermarkets were forced to close because their staff were infected. Some local drivers also put aside their day jobs to drive vans with fresh produce to householders in quarantine. Business owners voluntarily closed their doors to reduce the spread. The infection numbers were reduced to near single digits, although a further seven-day lockdown was applied. Bendigo Another outstanding local initiative has been decisive in managing COVID in Bendigo as well. The Bendigo Health Service has been very proactive in promoting vaccinations making Bendigo one of the highest vaccination rates in Australia. Community leaders have also focused their attention on multicultural groups who need help understanding the pandemic. These have included the local Buddhist Temple, the building of which has been previously contentious in Bendigo. In highlighting these examples, it is not suggested that the Latrobe Valley and other regional communities are sitting back. There is evidence of proactivity in Latrobe and elsewhere in regional Victoria. For example, the Warrnambool indigenous communities have one of the highest indigenous vaccination rates of indigenous communities in Australia. The recent Latrobe Health pro-vaccination initiative conducted with the support of the Gippsland Regional Executive Forum is another outstanding example of local initiative.

Fire season is fast approaching

THE fire season is fast approaching and now is the time for all Victorians to ensure they are prepared and have a plan for those high fire danger days. The latest long-term weather outlook is indicating a wet few months ahead, however this will also have the effect of rapid growth of grass and scrub fire potential. For our farming communities the Victorian winter crop production forecast is some 7.7 million tonnes or 11 per cent above the 10-year average. In short, grassfires and crop fires will be a real concern for our CFA members leading into the

Trish Ravenhall: Are these numbers associated with day 13 of the grand final weekend party? Maddalena Nocera: I do not understand why they have opened up in the first place. Erin O’Neal: We have lots of cases, but testing centres aren’t open. My friend visited a Tier 1 site last week and found out last night when it was announced as a T1 site, but went to her closest testing facility (literally 500m from her house) and it was closed, yet the official government website and the COVID hotline told her to go here.

Fix it now: The school crossing near the Grey Street Primary School in Traralgon continues to prove a talking point. photograph michelle slater I want to reassure all Victorians that regardless of whether they live in CFA or FRV response district, they are supported by skilled and experienced firefighters who respond alongside members of all other emergency services right across the state under the mantra ‘we work as one’. Australia has always been well served by its volunteers who have defended this nation during some of its darkest hours. Across the country, volunteer fire services, with more than 150,000 members, make up 91 per cent of total firefighters. Jason Heffernan, CFA Chief Officer

season across the north west, western and central agricultural regions. Grass fires are a particular risk along the plains of Western and North Western Victoria and around regional cities, while bushfires remain a constant threat in many areas. As such we should never be complacent and let our guard down. Recent climate change research by the CFA and other international bodies found that the number of very high fire danger days each year will significantly increase and our fire seasons will start earlier, last longer, and further strengthen the need for a shared responsibility between hazard owners, communities and emergency services. You may have seen a campaign recently outlining the skills of professional firefighters and inviting community members to check if they’re protected by professional firefighters.

IN regards to Russell Northe (Independent Member for Morwell) and parents calling for Latrobe City Council to have a supervised school crossing at Grey Street Primary School. It would not solve the problem in this busy area of Grey Street. I pursued this area 12 months ago with Latrobe City Council and VicRoads, regarding the amount of traffic (and has increased since). I was told then by VicRoads they were investigating whether to install traffic lights at the Grey St roundabout. To me, a supervised school crossing and traffic lights would benefit the heavy traffic and the school children’s safety, for now and in the future. N.F Nanos, Traralgon

Thank you

THANK you to all the community members, health care professionals and people impacted by dementia who marked Dementia Action Week 2021 from September 20-26. Across Australia, individuals and organisations supported our campaign, ‘A little support makes a big difference’. The campaign was to increase understanding about dementia and how we can all make a difference to the lives of people who are impacted and help to eliminate discrimination. On behalf of the estimated 120,900 people living with dementia in Victoria, we thank everyone for their support. For information and tips to find out how you can continue to make a difference please visit discrimination.dementia.org.au. Maree McCabe, Dementia Australia chief executive officer

I’m in awe of your achievements - congratulations. And I really enjoyed watching the whole Aussie team doing their thing in Tokyo. So proud of everyone’s achievements. Gary Russell: Proud of you. LRH POISED TO TREAT COVID-19 POSITIVE CASES IN THE VALLEY Richard James: They seemed to be pretty well-prepared the other day when I was there. Barb Wallis: Where in the hospital are they planning on putting the COVID patients? Natasha Hammond-Mara: I’m surprised LRH thinks they are ‘well-equipped’ when they have a nursing shortage that already impacts on the response rate and care to patients. I struggle to see how they can support this plan when they are not well supported now in their current staff shortage. The nurses do a great job but they’re understaffed and under pressure now let alone taking on COVID cases.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS Community project pays off

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

Gippsland Rotary Centenary House is at the final stage of its new development following a $50,000 grant from the state government. The $2.1 million development, aimed at expanding its quarters to house more families, will target the funding towards stage two of the development which encompasses landscaping works. GRCH has had more than 1000 guests since it first opened its doors in 2006, providing support to patients receiving cancer treatment in the Latrobe Valley.

WELCOME to the latest instalment of Looking Back Through The Years. Here’s what was making news in the pages of The Express during these points of our proud history. 50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1971

Trade fair is ready for big crowds

Moe Trade Fair opened unofficially for visitors yesterday morning with only a few people waiting to go in, but organisers expect the crowds to attend the evening sessions. The official opening by Mr Masaya Aoki, managing director of the Japan Trade Centre in Melbourne is to be held tonight at 8pm. From an exhibit point of view, the fair had gone tremendous well, the organiser Bev Clark said yesterday.

Morwell rates to rise by three cents

Morwell Shire Council gave notice of the motion on Thursday to strike a general rate of 18c in the dollar, three cents more than last year. The deficit had occurred because of rising costs and the provision of services which had not been paid for during the year they were provided, said Shire secretary-elect Mr D.J.R Dunton on Friday. The rate increase is estimated to mean an increase in revenue to the Shire of about 14.2 per cent on last year’s rate income. Rate revenue would rise from $660,000 to $754,000.

Precious Robe’s Cup

Briagolong galloper Precious Robe looks to be the nominal favourite for tomorrow’s Moe Cup and should justify the position by winning from 1969 Adelaide Cup winner Gnapur. Precious Robe should become the first horse to win the Latrobe Valley-Moe Cup double. Precious Robe comes into tomorrow’s race an extremely fit horses with the form on the board. Last Thursday, he finished an unlucky second to Index in the Cranbourne Cup, beaten 1 ¼ lengths. FUN FACT: A three-bedroom brick veneer home, centrally-heated and ideally situated was on the market with Keith Williams Real Estate for $16,500. 35 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1986

Moe best residential town in Valley: report

Moe has the best location of all the major Latrobe Valley towns, according to the just released Moe City Draft Strategy Plan. Moe’s location is superior, says the plan, because it is separated from the industrial areas to the east by the Haunted Hills, prevailing winds direct pollution away from the town, it has direct access to the Princes Highway and to snowfields, beaches, scenic areas and workplaces and is closer to Melbourne. The plan also claims the undulating

Saddled up in search of success

Riders from as far as Berwick and Cranbourne converged on the Valley for the Yallourn North Pony Club and Open Gymkhana. The major winners in the hack ring were Mr Natural (champion led hack) and Tudor Park Appeal (reserve champion led hack), Lord Monterey, ridden by S. Penny (champion ridden hack), Mr Natural, ridden by N. Penny (reserve champion ridden hack), S. Penny (champion rider) and S. Fuffel (reserve champion rider).

School is in for youth council

Maryvale High School student Scott Hamilton has been named first Morwell Shire Youth Council president. He was elected as last week’s inaugural meeting of the council. The 17-year-old HSC student has always been interested in youth and community affairs, serving as both secretary and president of the Morwell Technical School Student Representative Council and on the school’s management board. FUN FACT: Bananas were on sale for $1.59 a kilogram at the Mid Valley Fruit Mart. 20 YEARS AGO Thursday, October 11, 2001

Forbes goes national, Zahra stays local

Liberal candidate for McMillan Jim Forbes this week adjusted the election spotlight on national issues, but with the federal election now less than a month away, sitting Labor member Christian Zahra is remaining focused on local and domestic issues. Mr Forbes claimed Australia could not afford a change of government at such a time of political and economic instability, adding a “steady hand” was needed during what was shaping as “an uncertain economic period”. And he described a vote for Mr Zahra as a vote for the “indecisiveness” of Opposition Leader Kim Beazley.

Hamilton slams council critics, calls for unity

Labor MLA for Morwell Keith Hamilton has launched a stinging attack on critics for Latrobe City Council, renewing his call for unity in the Latrobe Valley and slamming calls for Traralgon to secede as “backward”. Mr Hamilton said the recent divisive campaign against Latrobe City Council asset sell-offs was doing more harm than good to the Latrobe Valley. He added the Valley would only take its place as a significant Victorian regional player if it could rediscover the cooperation that saw the state government undertake the Latrobe Valley Ministerial Taskforce.

Dogs win soccer final

Fortuna has failed in its bid for back-to-back Gippsland Soccer League premierships, going down 3-1 to Warragul in the grand final at Burrage Reserve. The win represented the third premiership in four years for the Dogs. In a post-match interview on radio, Warragul’s coach Peter O’Dea hinted the club may head west next season and join a state league competition. FUN FACT: A three-door Suzuki Ignis was on sale for $13,990 at Massaro Motors, Morwell. 10 YEARS AGO Monday, October 17, 2011

Valley base for new aero prototype

Following fears of job losses in the Latrobe Valley, an aeronautical company is aiming to double its employment after its decision to produce a multi-role turbine aircraft. GippsAero expects its workforce to increase to 280 employees after it acquired one of Australia’s first multi-role aircrafts, the Nomad, and will re-engineer the model with new technology to suit current markets. With a slow decline of aircrafts in its series, the $3.4 million GA18 Nomad is expected to be brought back to market by 2014.

Project gaining traction

The much-awaited coal-to-hydrogen pilot plant at Loy Yang is in the process of being commissioned and project directors hope will begin production by the end of the month. The world-first half-billion dollar Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) project is being run by a consortium of Japanese partners and AGL, with help from the Australian and Japanese governments.

Dredger set to come down this week

The first of Hazelwood’s four massive dredgers is expected to be demolished towards the end of the week as part of the mine rehabilitation project. However, ENGIE Hazelwood is stressing the collapse will not be visible to the community as the demolition takes place within the mine and out of the view from the public. The felling will take only 10 to 15 seconds and an exclusion zone will be established around each of the dredgers to ensure the safety of the workforce.

Pool fundraising hits the million mark

The Mirboo North community has raised a whopping $1 million towards its long-awaited new swimming pool. Friends of the Mirboo North Swimming Pool treasurer Fred Couper said the committee was gobsmacked the community was able to raise so much money. “It’s extraordinary to step back and realise that such a small community like ours has been able to raise $1 million,” Mr Couper said. FUN FACT: A king-sized bed from the Furniture Factory Clearance Centre was on sale for $599.

No longer unheard of: New Trafalgar Football-Netball Club senior coach Tom Hallinan, who has previously played and coached the Bloods arch-rival Newborough. photograph trafalgar fnc facebook FOOTBALL By LIAM DURKIN

IF ever there was a sign local football was progressing as a society, it was surely seen with the recent appointment of Tom Hallinan as senior coach of the Trafalgar Football-Netball Club. Given Hallinan’s association with the Bloods arch-rival Newborough, the thought of someone from the Bulldogs actually coaching Trafalgar one day would have been a mere fantasy in a previous era. While the man himself acknowledged it was somewhat bizarre, he said the two clubs actually shared a fair bit in common. “Funnily enough there is a lot of similarities between Traf and Newborough,” he said. “They are definitely working class, players play for the jumper more often than not and that flows through from how players play from starting siren to end siren and making a contribution to the club over a period of time.” A few things have changed since Hallinan left Newborough at the end of 2018, not less the fact Trafalgar and Newborough no longer compete against each other, with the Bloods now in the Ellinbank and District Football League, removed from the Bulldogs in the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League. The Bloods new coach also believed a healthier relationship now existed between country football clubs. “The game has changed a lot from the really tough early 90s, rivalries were everything and so too was lining up with the opposition,” he said. “Now there is a lot more mutual respect. Gladly the behind-the-play stuff is out of the game which is a real positive.” Hallinan will make the step up from Trafalgar assistant coach to the top job, taking over from Chris Kyriacou. The new man in charge brings with him no shortage of experience, and by his own admission has “more clubs than Tiger Woods”. As well as Newborough, Hallinan has played or coached at Preston Bullants in the VFL, Ringwood, Surrey Park, Oakleigh Districts, Balwyn, Tooradin, Doveton, Nar Nar Goon and Aberfeldie. Trafalgar now adds another club for the career coach, who felt the coaching bug was something that was very hard to shake. “I think once it’s in you it’s always in you,” he said. “For me my biggest thing about coaching is trying to better the individual and better the club. “I’ve always been fascinated by club culture and how to improve it and get more

I’m the there to coach th the club, l not just the starting 21, and to do that, my job is to empower other individuals under some guidance to have some autonomy in terms of taking on a role and seeing through that role. TOM HALLINAN

well-rounded players and not players who just play and that’s it. “I guess I’ve been fortunate to see many clubs and different cultures and how it works and how it doesn’t work.” For all the clubs and the number of people he has worked with in football, Hallinan pointed to a Newborough legend as someone who helped him the most. “Dean Caldow was probably my most influential coach,” he said. “Clever thinking, well planned, always thought ahead, good with developing young people and always a club-first focus.” In accepting the Trafalgar job, Hallinan said he was taking a holistic approach. “My job is to create the next wave of leaders and have guys stepping up in responsibilities,” he said. “I’m there to coach the club, not just the starting 21, and to do that, my job is to empower other individuals under some guidance to have some autonomy in terms of taking on a role and seeing through that role. “The buck ends up falling with the senior coach don’t get me wrong, but if it’s the senior coach sitting in the drivers wheel and just the senior coach then we have a big problem.” When asked about his coaching style, Hallinan said most things stemmed from a few basic fundamentals. “It’s all based on self-discipline, that is the cornerstone of what I do,” he said. “I’m probably more a contested coach, don’t get too wrapped up in the AFL system

at local footy, local footy is footy - beat your opponent type of thing. “Myself as a coach I’m not afraid to eyeball, but by the same token able to build good rapport with players so they understand their role and play their role for the team. “My motto has always been ‘supress the ego for the betterment of the team’.” With the Bloods finishing their first season in the EDFL in second position, Hallinan believed this was an accurate reflection of how the side performed. “I think we were exactly where we were in that top-two,” he said. “It definitely wasn’t ‘new league syndrome’ and it definitely wasn’t teams taking it easy on us. “Our playing group was certainly well matched to Ellinbank, we weren’t a fish-outof-water nor did we have a real sugar-hit. “Had we gone for the second half of the year I think that would have proven to be the case. “Definitely the objective next year is the flag and it’s a realistic objective, but so is getting the young kids transitioned and accustomed to senior footy and that job is creating an inclusive environment for them. “Next year I think I will pare it back a bit to some basics, I’m mindful of the fact senior players have played six months in two years so I will be prepared just to pare it back to ensure the fellas are coming along and not overcooking it with technicalities.” As for how he has gone winning the respect of the playing group to the point where they can see past the red, white and blue of Newborough, Hallinan said it was simply a case of knowing how the mentality of a football squad operated. “It’s the individual who has to shift to the group, the group doesn’t shift to the individual - I learnt that a long time ago,” he said. “The biggest thing I needed to do was not stand on the sidelines and watch training and not be part of the group, I had to start training with the boys.” That being said, Hallinan said he was still happy to have fun with the whole ‘Newborough bloke coaching Traf’ thing. “It’s a bit of banter … my biggest task is making sure I know the words of the Traf song verbatim,” he said laughingly. “A couple of times I wore my Newborough training top and I felt like a rabbit out in front of greyhounds, but it’s all good, footy is footy at the end of the day. “Newborough will be resurgent next year under Craig Skinner so I’m really pleased to see that element but my alliance is with Traf and seeing continual improvement there, introducing my bit of flavour and empowering others to take the lead.”

Bulldogs bolster ranks FOOTBALL/NETBALL MID GIPPSLAND By LIAM DURKIN

NEWBOROUGH Football-Netball Club has continued its off-season recruiting spree with the addition of midfielder Anthony Rosato. Rosato has returned to the kennel after five seasons with Morwell, signing on as a playingassistant coach. The man known as ‘Tanka’ won the Gippsland League Most Valuable Player award in 2019, and represented the league in the annual interleague carnival. During his time at the Tigers he also became the youngest senior captain in the club’s history at the age of just 20. Another Newborough local has also returned home from Morwell in Patrick Charles. The Bulldogs list of recruits so far reads: Luke Webber (from Yallourn Yallourn North), Jayden Van Dyk (Moe), Josh Pearce (Gormandale), Liam Charles (Morwell), Patrick Charles (Morwell) and Rosato. All six have ties to the club and have played there previously. Adding to that, the following players have recommitted for 2022 under incoming coach Craig Skinner: Peter Ainsworth, Liam Flahavin, Ryan Louch, Josh Bland, Alex Skinner, and reigning Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League leading goalkicker Joel Mitchell. In more news, Sammy Waters has been appointed as A Grade netball coach for season 2022. Waters comes to the kennel having previously played for Moe and Warragul in the Gippsland League, as well as playing at a higher level in Melbourne competitions. She captained Moe to their maiden A Grade premiership in 2018 and also held various coaching roles in her time at the Lions.

Huge signing: Anthony Rosato, pictured in 2017 after being named Player of the Carnival for the Evans Petroleum Cup with company representative John Schelling, will be a playing-assistant coach at Newborough next season. photograph gippsland league Newborough finished eighth on the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League A Grade table this season, winning five of 12 games. The Bulldogs were still a mathematical chance of playing finals with one round to go, but needed a number of results to fall their way. In the end, Newborough only missed finals by six points, and with this in mind, Waters should see finals as a realistic goal. Yinnar proved to be the competition benchmark

in 2021, going through the season undefeated. The Magpies are tipped to be one of the Bulldogs main challengers next season, along with Morwell East and Mirboo North. Some new challengers greeted Mid Gippsland netballers this season, as six clubs from the former Alberton Football-Netball League joined to create a 13-team competition. Newborough’s last A Grade premiership came in 2018.

Grants benefit region’s little athletes LITTLE ATHLETICS

TRARALGON and Moe Little Athletics Centres have benefited from grant money through Australian supermarket giant Coles. Coles is helping Little Athletic Centres to jump funding hurdles this season with grants totalling $7700 from the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund to buy brand new equipment. The latest round of funding brings Coles’ allocation of sports equipment grants to over $2 million in three years, with this year’s grants funded from the sale of Coles’ reusable community bags designed by Aussie kids and the sale of bananas sold at Coles supermarkets on National Banana Day in May. Fresh off the inspiring performances from Australia’s track and field stars at the Tokyo Olympics, Traralgon and Moe Little Athletics centres are hoping new equipment will help budding athletes fulfill their sporting potential. Traralgon Little Athletics received $3200 to buy a new high jump mat and first aid kits while Moe Little Athletics was granted $4400 to buy laptops and stopwatch to better support athletes and volunteers. Traralgon Little Athletics president Troy Villani said the funding would help the centre to survive and thrive through challenging times. “Our centre has been running for 54 years now and is the third oldest club in Victoria,” he said. “The Coles grant will provide much needed equipment to help get our season started without putting a burden on the minimal finances the club has at present.” Coles Little Athletics Australia president Andrew Pryor said the grants will help Little Athletics centres to develop the next generation of Olympians as the sport builds towards Brisbane 2032. “We are entering a very exciting period for Little

Greatly appreciated: Traralgon Little Athletics was able to purchase a new high jump mat thanks to the funding from Coles. file photograph Athletics following the success of Tokyo 2020 and as we set our sights on Brisbane 2032,” he said. “Around 75 per cent of the Australian track and field team who competed in the Tokyo Olympics and a further 23 per cent of para-athletes in the Paralympics had their start in Little Athletics - that’s why support like this from Coles is so important. The grants will help ensure little athletes of today have all the resources they need to develop into Olympians of the future, if that is the pathway they choose.” Coles state general manager Claire Lauber said the company was extremely proud of its partnership with Little Athletics Australia and its grassroots clubs and centres in Victoria.

“We’re delighted to continue to support Little Athletics centres in Victoria through the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund,” she said. For every kilogram from bananas sold at Coles supermarkets on National Banana Day in May, Coles donated 10 cents to the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund. “Little Athletics centres and their dedicated volunteers play such a vital role in the local community to help kids keep active and healthy,” Lauber said. “We’re proud to play our part by providing nearly $450,000 in sports equipment grants to Little Athletics centres in Victoria over the past three years.”

Bocce Nationals rescheduled to 2022 BOCCE

THE Bocce Nationals, scheduled to be held at the Gippsland Bocce Centre in Morwell this month, have been rescheduled to June 2022. The event has been moved due to COVID, with restrictions and general uncertainty not making it feasible for teams across the country to make their way to Gippsland. The Morwell venue has been chosen to host the Bocce Nationals, in what is a huge drawcard for Gippsland. It will be the first time a national bocce championship has been held in a regional centre in Victoria.

Elsewhere, the sport has some exciting developments in the pipleine. “As a sport, we need to bounce back quickly and across multiple fronts once we are out of these lockdown settings,” Bocce Australia president Frank Funari said. “Based on estimates from Sport Australia and government agencies, Australia will soon be well placed nationally to have all sports in full action. “The Bocce Australia board has been working on a number of proposals for submission to Sport Australia to inject funds to help all sports start up once we ease into a COVID normal way of life.

“Bocce Australia, together with three member states, are proposing to pilot the implementation of the Bocce One Community Participation Program. The program, which will initially pilot in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, will ensure that the sport and its cultural significance in the Australian sporting landscape is maintained and supported by a roadmap to ensure growth and expansion to a wider community base. “Bocce Australia is working to be fully operational from February 2022 with participation programs and, soon after, will introduce the newly created Bocce Super League.”

Strong season: Morwell’s Nathan Noblett was among the award winners for Gippsland Power. file photo

Power award winners are celebrated FOOTBALL By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND Power announced its award winners for season 2021 recently. Local players Luis D’Angelo, Jess McGrath, Nathan Noblett and Chance Doultree were among the winners. Traralgon’s D’Angelo came runner-up in the best and fairest, which was won by Phillip Island’s Mitch Moschetti. D’Angelo benefited from time with Box Hill in the VFL, as did McGrath who played with Richmond. Amazingly, McGrath, who was named Power’s most professional player, played a game for the Moe reserves this season. Noblett, from Morwell, won the goal kicking award. Taking into account the shortened season, Noblett’s return was modest compared to previous winners, although he did manage a four-goal haul against Western Jets. Traralgon’s Doultree was named most determined. Gippsland Power only got on the park 10 times in 2021, winning three games. Things were not looking good early doors, as the side lost its first six games. However, a late season rally saw them string some good performances together, and they were able to win three of their last four games. Ultimately, the stop-start nature of the COVID season derailed any chance of continuity, but a win over second-placed Greater Western Victoria proved Gippsland Power’s worth and standing against some of the country’s best young players. Most Gippsland Power players also returned home to their local club at some stage in the season, slotting into various senior teams. Other award winners were Yarram’s David Brinker-Ritchie who was judged most improved, Warragul’s Rhys Gavin (best first year player), Drouin’s Tom Evans (support staff award) and Phillip Island’s Max Walton (coaches award). The Gippsland Power women’s team best and fairest was won by Traralgon’s Matilda Van Berkel. Joint runner-up was Yasmin Duursma (Foster) and Grace McRae (Wonthaggi). The Power women’s team didn’t have much to crow about this season, winning just one game.

Wilkie arrives at the Eagles nest

CRICKET LVDCL BY LIAM DURKIN

NEW Traralgon West Cricket Club captain Rob Wilkie will literally be able to see his old club this season. Wilkie has made the move from Apex Park to the neighbouring Jack Canavan Reserve to lead the Eagles in the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League. A line of houses along Gilmour St is virtually all that separates Wilkie’s old club Centrals and Traralgon West. While Wilkie himself acknowledged it would be slightly strange playing a stone’s throw away, he said the opportunity to captain an A Grade side was an exciting prospect. “It will be so weird (playing next door to Centrals), but I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “Coming from the same league and being in the same division together, when you play against a few sides a few times you start to get to know people and have beers with people, so there wasn’t too much having to introduce myself (at Traralgon West), we all knew each other anyway. “I’m just really keen to lead a side and work on my leadership. Traralgon West surrounded me with some people who were willing to help.” Having coached Centrals previously, Wilkie will bring some ideas across, working in tandem with Eagles coach and club stalwart Tim Fitch. The new captain has played as an opening batsman in the last few seasons at Centrals, but a change of club is also set to bring about a change of role, with Wilkie expected to come in at first or second drop to stabilise things in the middle order. Fielding wise, Wilkie said he would more than likely stand at mid-off to talk to the bowlers, while his very looping off breaks might only come out in case of emergency. Although Traralgon West hasn’t featured too heavily in the wins column in recent seasons, there was enough signs of promise last season to suggest they are on the right track. The Eagles reverse-outrighted eventual A Grade premier CATS and defeated Trafalgar at a time when the Ships were the reigning A Grade premier. Furthermore, the depth of Traralgon West is

LOCAL cricket still faces uncertainty surrounding a fixed start-date for the upcoming season. A roadmap announced by Cricket Victoria has recommended that all competitions consider setting their Round 1 fixture to begin the weekend of November 13 (the weekend after Melbourne Cup). At this stage, it is understood clubs in the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League and Traralgon District Cricket Association are working on the presumption the season will start on Saturday, November 13. According to the roadmap, the start of the season is virtually dependent on an 80 per cent double dose rate. Cricket Victoria has shared its roadmap with the state government, which contains the following once 80 per cent double dose is hit (estimated to be reached by Friday, November 5, 2021):  Matches and spectators permitted;  Metro players maximum travel distance removed, and;  Changerooms, social rooms and bars open. The LVDCL board is meeting tonight to consider arrangements for the 2021/22 season. The TDCA has been conversing with member clubs, and has already made the decision to play a

full one-day season across all three senior grades. It is expected the LVDCL will also play a full one-day season. A full one-day season appears to be a sensible option as it will allow as many games as possible to reach a result, and will also make it easier for organisers to reschedule matches in the high likelihood of washouts. Given retention and motivation of players has been earmarked as an issue to address, a full oneday season might also help get as many people playing cricket as possible. For the LVDCL, the delayed season and a full one-day fixture might carry a silver lining and potentially get more clubs competing in the A Grade competition. Given it is impossible to get outrighted in a one day game, clubs that have been strong performers in second grade such as Willow Grove, Thorpdale and Newborough could see it as a good opportunity to make the step up and better themselves by playing A Grade. If one of the above mentioned teams came into A Grade it would create a six team competition, thus eliminating the bye. It is also reasonably expected none of those teams would be out of their depth playing A Grade if it was in fact a full one-day season and could also be seen as a good stepping stone to testing the waters and potentially committing to A Grade in coming seasons.

“I’ve already set Josh Monacella and Hayden Kimpton as vice-captains, basically with the goal to teach them a few things and ensure by the seasons end they have improved with that side of things as well,” he said. “To Fitchy’s (Tim Fitch) credit he’s really invested a lot of time into researching how to get the best out of the kids, giving them every opportunity to do so. “I’ve been friends with Fitchy through high school and since the season we played under 16s together where Centrals and West had to merge for a year. “To see what he’s been able to do at the club, I’ve looked on from afar and just thought how great he does. “We’re really putting a lot of time into the kids

clearly strong, highlighted by the second grade side finishing last season on top of the ladder by 16 points. Young batsman Ihraam ‘Rami’ Zafar has been a shining light, and an innings of 56 at Gippsland Cricket League level last year proved his worth. Latrobe premiership player Hayden Kimpton joined the Eagles 12 months ago, and is another youngster the club will be looking to turn some of the starts he got last season with the bat into more significant scores. With this in mind, Wilkie said he would be giving some of the up-and-comers more ownership in the hope of them blossoming as future leaders in years to come.

to ensure they get as good as their potential would suggest.” For Traralgon West veterans the likes of Fitch and Ben Edebohls, the motivation for teammates should be there to reward the mountain of work they have put in through some very lean seasons. The pair’s loyalty has been astonishing, especially considering they stuck by Traralgon West during a time when the Eagles went five years without winning a game and would have been well within their right to play elsewhere. Departing the Eagles are left-arm spinner Luke Sumner, who has made the move to Bruthen, and all-rounder Nila Thillekarathna who has joined Jeeralang-Boolarra. Despite the losses, Wilkie was confident some of the young Eagles would be able to help the team along rather than need to be carried through. “That’s a top order bat that goes out (Thillekarathna) but our thought process is young Zafar and Monacella now being 18-19 should continue their improvement and take up that spot,” he said. “The list is looking really strong. I think we’ve probably got six or seven bowlers to pick from at the moment. “With the lads putting in so much effort I’m quietly confident we should be able to shake up some top sides and hit the ground running as soon as the seasons back up and going.” In making the move to Traralgon West, Wilkie said he left Centrals amicably and on good terms. “I’d still consider them a bit of a home club and a place where I’d spend a lot of time at in the future,” he said. “I basically said to the lads it’s not necessarily ‘goodbye’, it’s ‘goodbye for now’ while I give this captaincy a crack.” Now that he will be wearing the green and gold of Traralgon West, Wilkie was sure a good deal of banter would be coming his way when he played against Centrals. “The lads know just about everything about me so they should have some good gags,” he joked.

Never too old: Veteran cricketers are encouraged to try their hand playing for the Gippsland Goannas. file photograph

THE Gippsland Goannas Veterans Cricket Club is anticipating playing some cricket from about mid-November. All National Championships for the season have either been cancelled or postponed, with the Over 50s (to be held in Adelaide) and the Over 70s (Launceston) hoping to take place in February 2022. The next Over 60 Championship is now scheduled for November 2022 in Victoria’s Barwon region. The Goannas will once again participate

Page 42 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 11 October, 2021

in Veterans Cricket Victoria’s Sunday competitions. The Over 50 team will play in the top grade Saxon Shield competition, after going down to champions, Geelong, in the finals last season. The Over 60 competition has been split into zones, which will mean less travelling to games, but players may miss out on playing the stronger teams. Some days have been set aside for Over 70 club games, which is a new initiative of Veterans Cricket Victoria. Currently the Goannas are looking for new recruits in all age groups, with the possibility of needing to play games in each of the age

divisions on some days this coming season. Many of the Goannas have been able to practice over the off season, while all will now start to look for some early season form. Practice night will still be Wednesday, from about 4.45pm, and if the weather is fine outdoor practice will take place at the Glengarry Cricket Club nets, while if inclement, practice will take place indoors at the Bundalaguah Cricket Club. Potential recruits for the coming season should phone secretary Ian Gibson on 0427 376 776 for all information.

Fingers crossed: Local tennis is looking at a start date in the first week of November.

THE Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium is set to play host to a National Basketball League regular season match featuring the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The 3000-seat Traralgon stadium will welcome the Phoenix, who will make the journey down for a marquee fixture on Australia Day. A motion that Latrobe City Council fund the game by providing $50,000 in cash and $5000 in-kind was moved unanimously at the most recent council meeting. This motion followed a recommendation and strong support from the Tourism and Major Events Advisory committee to bring NBL games to the region. The motion was moved by Cr Dale Harriman and seconded by Deputy Mayor Cr Darren Howe. Speaking at the council meeting, Cr Harriman said it was an exciting prospect to have elite basketball right on our doorstep. “This is a huge input from Latrobe City into the fastest growing sport in Australia,” he said. “I think it has been well thought out and I have to thank the Tourism Major Events Advisory committee who were very, very supportive. “We’ve seen before in the past we’ve had a

number of National League basketball teams come down, and this goes back 20 years when we had both the Melbourne Tigers men’s and women’s teams playing pre-competition games, we’ve had Melbourne United come down and play pre-competition games. “A huge advantage of that has been that they’ve come down in advance, they’re run training clinics, not only for players, but also for coaches and we’ve also had access to high level referees training our junior referees as well. “What we are going to be getting with the South East Melbourne Phoenix is they are actually going to come down for an in-season game. “This is absolutely massive. This will bring people from across Gippsland and also bring people from Melbourne down to Latrobe City’s Gippsland (Indoor) Regional Sports Stadium. “If you’re going to get tickets you’ll want to get them early.” Cr Harriman said there was bound to be other benefits as well. “The bonus we’ve got with this is to begin developing a relationship, which I have to say a number of local basketball associations have already done, with the Phoenix,” he said. “They are situated on the south-east of Melbourne, they see this (Latrobe Valley) as their home territory and again it gives us an opportunity

to reignite and redevelop those relationships. Not only are our elite players but also our domestic players are being exposed to high level players, having that drive to promote an active lifestyle. “It’s also going to bring down those high level off-court officials and open that training up to those kids who might not be driven to play on-court but driven to be involved in basketball off-court. “I think anything that gets our kids involved is great.” While all signs appear to be positive, Cr Graeme Middlemiss said it was important the Latrobe Valley weren’t the ones doing all the giving in this instance. “I’d be looking to see their supporter base coming from Melbourne and bringing their wallets with them (to support local business),” he said. “I look forward with interest to see if we get the support that this report (from the Tourism and Major Events Advisory committee) points at.” The South East Phoenix has already reached out to local basketball associations, and is expected to hold any number of coaching and school clinics once COVID restrictions ease. The regular season NBL match is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. The Phoenix’s opponents are not yet known as the fixture has not been finalised.

FOR the second year in a row, the Moe Cup will be held behind closed doors. Just trainers and essential staff will be permitted inside the venue, while spectators will be forced to watch on various devices or from a vantage point in neighbouring Apex Park. Fields were not known at the time The Express went to press, but a strong showing of metropolitan and local runners are expected to grace the turf this Friday. The no-crowd situation is especially disappointing for countless racing fans, who were no doubt eager to enjoy not only a day out but also to see Australian rock cult hero Shannon Noll perform live. The Moe Racing Club has issued a full refund to all ticket holders. Traditionally the Moe Cup is one of the landmark dates on the local events calendar, with a great deal of activity happening in the town’s central business district before the first race starts. The Moe Cup has also often served as the lead-in to various local football club trips away before flying out. Showers are predicted for Friday, but despite this, the winner of the Moe Cup will still be crowned at Moe Racing Club, owing to the club’s state-ofthe-art StrathAyr sand-based track. The quality of the track was on display at the clubs most recent meeting when wild weather saw flooding in parts of the region on Thursday,

BASKETBALL By LIAM DURKIN

THE Latrobe Valley Tennis Association is aiming to begin its junior and senior seasons on Saturday, November 6.

One section will be a three-a-sidesingles/doubles competition, while the other will be a four aside doubles competition.  There will also be evening midweek social tennis for lower level players, and an evening midweek competition for more advanced players. Players can enter a team or enter as an individual. Those interested in being involved in any of the above are encouraged to get in touch with a local tennis club or LVTA president Sally Kirstine on 0403 282 630.
