AEMO predicts Valley’s coal power stations will close in 10 years

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Latrobe Valley’s brown coal generators are expected to close in 10 years to make way for the rapid uptake in renewables, according to a market operator modelled forecast released recently.

Australian Energy Market Operator modelling predicts “all brown coal generation and over two-thirds of black coal generation could withdraw by 2032”.

The draft Integrated System Plan 2022 outlines four scenarios to 2050, with the most probable path anticipating a ninefold increase in large-scale renewables such as wind and solar.

It also forecasts a near doubling the demand for electricity as transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes are decarbonised.

“Current announcements by thermal plant owners suggest that about five

gigawatts of the current 23 gigawatts of coal capacity will withdraw by 2030,” the report states.

However, modelling suggests that 14 gigawatts of coal generation could withdraw from the market by 2030 and be completely exited by 2043.

“Over the past decade, coal-fired generators have withdrawn from the market before their announced dates, and competitive and operational

pressures will intensify with the ever-increasing penetration of cheap renewable generation,” AEMO said.

AEMO chief executive officer Daniel Westerman said the significant changes already underway in the National Electricity Market have continued to accelerate.

Call for tighter restrictions on ash ponds

By MICHELLE SLATER

ENVIRONMENT groups have renewed calls for the Environment Protection Authority to ensure Latrobe Valley mine operators comply with best practice standards to clean up coal ash dams.

Environmental Justice Australia had compiled a plan When the Ash Settles, on behalf of local group Friends of Latrobe Water, with outlines for ash ponds.

The plan calls on the EPA to develop specific guidelines to manage, remediate and re-use coal ash, and for mine operators to develop best practice closure plans in collaboration with the community.

It is also calling for the Latrobe Valley Health Innovation Zone to be implemented into local planning law.

The EPA handed down a licence review of Latrobe

Valley’s power stations and introduced new licence conditions earlier this year.

Part of these conditions mean the power station operators must prepare a landfill and ash-pond rehabilitation plan by the end of December.

“We will be vigilant to ensure these conditions are met and that the operators protect the environment and the local community from pollution and harm” an EPA spokesman said.

But Environment groups fear the regulations as they stand are not strong enough to protect the community and environment.

The group said operators should not be required to “merely cap ash dams and then walk away leaving residents to face the damage left in their wake”.

Friends of Latrobe Water spokeswoman Hayley Sestokas pointed out past incidents in which unlined - or poorly lined ash ponds - had leaked into groundwater.

Ms Sestokas was calling for publicly accessible data on ash ponds so the community could understand the extent of any contamination, coupled with plans for proper remediation.

“The Latrobe Valley community already live with the damage caused by coal ash dams, and it is frightening that the true extent may not be known for decades,” Ms Sestokas said.

“The community has been kept in the dark on an issue which affects our health and our lives.”

Coal ash produced from coal-fired power stations is the fifth largest stream of industrial waste in Australia.

Ms Sestokas said locals could face consequences for decades to come if operators did not take a safe, best-practice approach to tackle the issue.

“The time to talk about closure plans for this toxic legacy pollution is now, before we move forward with mine rehabilitation plans,” she said.

Historic building earns a reprieve

By MICHELLE SLATER

Halt: Latrobe City Council has pressed pause on any plans to demolish the Traralgon Visitor Information Centre building, built in 1879, amid a barrage of community opposition.

LATROBE City Council has pressed pause on any plans to demolish the Visitor Information Centre building in Traralgon amid a barrage of community opposition.

Councillors will now head out for further community consultation and will report back to reassess plans for Traralgon’s oldest standing church building, built in 1879.

Community members including former councillors fronted Latrobe City’s December meeting to outline flaws in processes dating back to 1992 which left the building off heritage registers.

The building had been pegged for protection in a heritage study adopted by the former City of Traralgon, but somehow plans went amiss in mid-90s municipal amalgamations.

Cr Dan Clancey acknowledged the “mistakes that were made along the way” while describing the situation as a “comedy of errors but no one is laughing at this”.

Cr Clancey also acknowledged councillors should have looked at these previous council reports before making any new decisions to bulldoze the building last month.

“It seems there were little mistakes and with each step that went along something was left behind,” Cr Clancey said.

“Council makes decisions with the best advice they have available at the time and the best options

we have in front of us. The best advice we had at the time was to demolish the building.

“I wasn’t comfortable with it then and I’m not comfortable with it now.”

Latrobe City needs to remove the building by the Traralgon train station so the department of transport can create an open forecourt as part of a major station upgrade.

Relocation would cost ratepayers more than $670,000, but demolition and salvaging items such as timber doorframes would cost $80,000.

Latrobe City had consulted with the Traralgon Community Development Association and historical society before agreeing to the demolition.

Cr Sharon Gibson admitted council had “stuffed up” and stated that council should have gone out for wider community consultation.

Cr Gibson had also asked if the department of transport could extend the lease on the land at the train station, so the building would not have to be relocated.

Former councillor Sheridan Bond spoke to council accusing it of failing to explore a series of options or adequately consulting with the community before making its decision. She urged council to include the building into a heritage overlay.

“It’s time to right the wrongs of the past and get the situation sorted out for the community who remain passionate about the preservation of this historic building, one of the two oldest buildings in Traralgon,” Ms Bond said.

Predictions coal power stations will be shut by 2032 Continued from page 1

Mr Westerman said this rapid transformation would consist of a significant investment in renewables, storage and firming generation as coal plants exit, and improvements to transmission.

“This transformation will efficiently deliver secure, reliable and affordable electricity while substantially contributing to national emissions objectives,” Mr Westerman said.

Loy Yang A and B are officially scheduled to close around 2048, with Yallourn to shut in 2028.

Alinta has stated Loy Yang B will close in 2047, “or earlier recognising that the retirement of the plant is unlikely to be a unilateral decision by the owners”.

Its decision would be “heavily influenced” by key stakeholders and the requirements of the NEM. “Loy Yang B supports the energy transition by providing system strength alongside firm supply,” the company said.

“And this reliable supply will remain critical until the transitioning electricity system we see today becomes mature enough to provide the stability the NEM requires to operate securely.”

An AGL spokeswoman said there was “no doubt that coal fired generation will exit the system earlier than previously believed, enabling a faster decarbonisation pathway”.

But she said coal closures must not happen outside of a co-ordinated plan across governments, industry, regulators and the community.

“Without this we create market uncertainty that risks projects being online at the right time and in turn impacting reliability and most critically for customers – affordability,” she said.

An AGL spokeswoman said the company was preparing a rehabilitation plan for the decommissioning and remediation of Loy Yang A and the mine, including the ash ponds.

“We have implemented an ongoing groundwater monitoring program on site to ensure all activities outside the attenuation zone do not pollute groundwater or cause detriment to use of groundwater in compliance with our regulatory obligations and our environmental licence,” she said.

An EnergyAustralia spokesman said the company was “committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship”.

“Yallourn operates in a manner that is consistently below the Environment Protection Authority’s required levels of emissions and pollutants and it’s important to us that the Latrobe Valley community has confidence in our operations,” he said.

New modelling shows Valley’s 2050 prospects appear bright FRESH economic modelling shows there would be more than 36,100 new jobs in the Latrobe Valley under a net-zero economy by 2050.

Modelling from the Centre of Policy Studies at Victoria University compared both a business–as-usual scenario and a transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.

It showed most regions across Victoria would experience higher economic and jobs growth, with Hume, Ballarat and the south west to benefit the most.

The Valley is forecast to benefit with another 36,100 new jobs, growth would still be expected, but at a lower rate compared to the businessas-usual scenario.

Report author Philip Adams said the cost of transitioning the economy to net zero has plummeted by 80 per cent in the past eight years.

This was due to the rapid decline in the cost of renewables, electric vehicles, and emerging new green technologies.

Professor Adams said that while the modelling showed an economic benefit or neutral effect on most of Australia, government support and transition strategies were needed for some regions.

“Governments need to properly plan, resource and invest in regions like the Latrobe Valley to attract renewable energy industries, new green industries and invest in retraining and upskilling the workforce,” he said.

“Not having these strategies or delaying the transition means the pain will be felt greatest in these regions with large coal, gas and petroleum industries.”

The modelling takes a conservative approach and is based on today’s technology and industries, and would require government policy intervention.

Some sectors including forestry and renewables would experience economic and jobs growth, with forestry set to grow at 93 per cent largely due to bio-sequestration.

Latrobe City 95 per cent double dose

Vaccinations: GRPHU’s bus Chitty Chitty Jab Jab will be hitting the road next week.

photograph supplied

LATROBE City is being commended for being one of the most vaccinated local government areas in Victoria.

Latest state government statistics show than 95 per cent of Latrobe City residents have received their first and second dose of the vaccine.

The Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) commended the region on its commitment to the vaccine rollout.

“It is great to have the community coming forward to get vaccinated and our vaccination teams are continuing to deliver increased access opportunities across the region,” GRPHU operations manager Annelies Titulaer said.

“Thank you to all involved and for getting us to where we are now with living with COVID-19.”

“We still need to continue being COVIDSafe to reduce the spread of the virus. It is unpredictable so anything we can do to prevent acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 helps protect everyone in our community,” she said.

In GRPHU’s most recent newsletter, Ms Titulaer, reminded the region to keep up the good work.

“As we near 160,000 COVID vaccinations, I am reminded of the resilience and commitment

our communities across Gippsland have shown,” she said.

“It’s taken nothing, but hard work and determination to get to this point and as living with COVID becomes our new normal, it’s important now than ever to maintain this momentum.”

As of November 29, GRPHU recorded a total of 156,304 doses of the vaccine administered across Gippsland.

73.93 per cent were Pfizer, 22.36 per cent were AstraZeneca, and 3.45 was the Moderna vaccine.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas, also praised the region for its high vaccination rates.

“I really want to thank the people across rural and regional Victoria for embracing the vaccine, rolling up their sleeves and getting the jab done,” she said.

“I think that country people are practical, down to earth people. We know the value of science, we know the value of medicine, and when we are asked to do something to protect our community we just go and do it.”

The GRPHU is assisting other local government areas with vaccinations, including implementing a mobile vaccination bus, called Chitty Chitty Jab Jab in Wellington next week.

New Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive is appointed THE state government has appointed a new Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer to take over from outgoing helmswoman Karen Cain.

Incoming CEO Chris Buckingham brings 15 years of experience as a senior executive across a number of sectors, including state and local government and tourism.

He was most recently the chief executive at Casey Cardinia Libraries.

The former Labor candidate stood for the seat of McMillan - now Monash - in the 2016

federal election against incumbent Liberal Russell Broadbent.

Mr Buckingham will begin his new role next year with a focus on backing more local jobs and driving the economy in the Latrobe Valley.

The LVA was originally established to support the closure of Hazelwood Power Station and has contributed to the state government’s addition of 4000 more jobs across the region since its inception.

Ms Cain – who also had Labor party ties as former South Gippsland branch president – helped develop

the LVA in collaboration with local trades and labour groups, government agencies and service providers.

Her work as inaugural LVA chief led to the delivery of projects including the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre and Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said “there was a merit based selection process for the CEO, and the successful applicant was Chris Buckingham”.

Ms Thomas thanked Ms Cain for her leadership and for “building an important foundation and supporting strong jobs growth for the region”.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said the LVA would be crucial to the next phase of transition and ongoing economic diversification in the Latrobe Valley.

“I am looking forward to working with the new chief executive officer to build on what has already been achieved by the LVA,” Ms Shing said.

Police appeal for witnesses LATROBE CIU detectives are appealing for witnesses of an alleged assault on the Princes Highway near Flynn in Traralgon on November 15 at 6:35pm.

A woman was allegedly assaulted when she pulled over in the emergency lane after seeing a family of ducklings crossing the road.

While the woman was outside her car, a man pulled up behind her in a blue Holden sedan and began walking towards her.

As the woman attempted to get back in her car, the man allegedly reached into her car and assaulted her.

She managed to fend him off, hitting in him the face.

Police said the man then got back in his car and drove away at a fast speed, and nearly hit the woman in doing so.

He is described as approximately 190cm tall, of African appearance, aged in his early to mid-20s, thin build and wearing a black hooded jumper with a white circle emblem on the front, and black jeans.

Police Beat with Alyssa Fritzlaff

Detectives are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to contact Latrobe CIU on 5131 5000, or make a report to Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

Increase in car thefts across the Valley MORWELL Police are urging the public to lock their vehicles, after a spate of theft from vehicles in the Latrobe Valley, particularly in the Bridle Estate area of Morwell.

They are asking locals to be vigilant, to not leave valuables in the car and always lock cars when they are left unattended, even at home.

New degree to meet demand

By MICHELLE SLATER

FEDERATION University is addressing skills shortages in Gippsland with a new electrical engineering degree to train and retain workers in the region.

The new Bachelor of Engineering honours program will produce graduates ready to help the region in its transition.

The four-year degree will include electric systems, magnetics, power electronics, renewables, power transmission and distribution and artificial intelligence, with a 12-week work placement.

Incoming deputy vice-chancellor (academic) Wendy Cross said the new course to start next year would help tackle “critical shortages” in engineering.

Professor Cross it would enable prospective engineers to study and then go on to work close to home.

“We are working with the engineering sector to build a pipeline of graduates ready to take on the jobs of the future as Gippsland continues to transition away from traditional forms of power generation,” Professor Cross said.

The course is being delivered in partnership with Australian Carbon Innovation, which is offering $7000 scholarships to eight students.

ACI chief executive officer Brian Davey said it was important to train students in undergraduate STEM degrees as the older generation of engineers were retiring, or were unable to come from overseas.

“You have to look at local resources to build inherent capabilities, it’s good to develop our own skills base,” Mr Davey said.

“This will support a cross-industry skills base, with work in fossil fuels, transmission, renewables, there will be multiple pathways to take.”

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said having qualified workers was “vital” if council was to succeed in encouraging businesses to expand or relocate to the Valley.

“This engineering degree is a great example of what we can achieve when local industries and our local university work together to address skill demands in the region,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

LATROBE City Council is currently working with the operator of the Boolarra Hotel in relation to planning compliance matters regarding noise and illegal camping activities.

A Latrobe City spokesperson told The Express council did not request the hotel cease their live music, or operations.

“They can continue operating consistent with their approved planning permit,” the spokesperson said.

Council was working with the hotel operators and owners to submit a planning application for a camping and caravan park, and to address the compliance matter related to noise.

It comes after Latrobe City officers visited the pub following community complaints in March to check it was operating within permit conditions.

Council also advised the operators of a number of non-compliances.

Noise monitoring carried out in June found the levels were unlikely to comply with Environment Protection Authority laws.

Latrobe City also found the pub was operating a camping and caravan park without a required planning permit.

Council officers recently met with hotel operators along with representatives from the community consortium which owns the hotel.

Officers issued an infringement notice to both parties requiring them to cease operating a camping and caravan park.

Officers encouraged the hotel operators and owners to engage a consultant help prepare the required permits.

Officers also explained the operating conditions of the existing permit, outlining what requirements need to be met on an ongoing basis.

Council rejects GEST motion

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has rejected a motion to reimburse Gippsland Employment Skills and Training after being kicked out of the Moe Service Centre at short notice in July.

Latrobe City councillor Dale Harriman had put forward a motion asking council to cover up to $5000 a year for the next two years for the difference in a lease agreement and $2000 in relocation costs.

“I think it would show this council has an understanding and some compassion about what it’s done to a volunteer and not-for-profit group that’s operated for a number of years for the benefit of Latrobe City and its residents,” Cr Harriman said.

“I think this is the least we can do.”

GEST was a lead tenant in the former Moe Service Centre and Library under a Moe Community Groups Hub trial that began in 2017.

The registered training organisation paid an annual peppercorn rent of $79.50, saving about $220,000 in commercial rent costs.

GEST’s lease with council expired in 2019 and was transferred to a month by month arrangement.

But Latrobe City left the group potentially homeless when told council had found another yet-to-be-disclosed long-term tenant for the site – in a decision council made behind closed doors.

GEST relocated to Hoyle Street in Morwell at short notice with the help of the Gippsland Trades and labour Council.

Cr Harriman pointed to the vital service the organisation provided to those facing multiple barriers to employment as well as local workers impacted by the closure of large employers.

He also outlined the fact GEST was operating the Community Groups Hub as a service to a number of other groups in Moe.

“They put so much back into the community, it’s only fair we make this gesture because it’s nowhere near the costs incurred,” Cr Harriman said.

“I think this is the lease we can do considering it was the actions of council that cost them so much.”

Cr Graeme Middlemiss said GEST should investigate applying for a minor capital grants fund to cover the group’s relocation costs.

He acknowledged that Latrobe City had handled the matter “a little clumsily and a little short”.

“We had an offer for the use of the building which will benefit Moe much more than GEST were doing, this is not a reflection on GEST,” Cr Middlemiss said.

“We handled it clumsily, but we handled it for the benefit of Moe.”

Renowned Morwell artist star of the show

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL artist Ronald Edwards-Pepper has been recognised in the 2021 Koorie Art Show.

The Gunaikurnai artist was awarded the Creative Victoria Award for Excellence in Any Media for his work, titled ‘Coming Out 2’.

As part of the award, Mr Edwards-Pepper won a cash prize of $10,000.

In his artist statement he said “the artwork is about me coming out and being proud of my culture”.

“We are all different and we’re all different colour, people as myself, might be black Aboriginal, but I’m gay and I’m proud, and that’s why I love colour,” he told The Express.

“I aim to make a difference in all cultures and break down the barriers in my artwork. I might be Aboriginal, but I don’t always do Aboriginal designs.

“I step outside the box and that’s why I do a lot of colour in spirals, not an Indigenous image or design.”

Mr Edwards-Pepper has been creating art for a number of years.

“I been creating art since I was at TAFE, in the Koorie Unit many, many years ago ... and one day a week they had a cultural day,” he said.

“That’s when I knew I wanted to become an artist, knowing that there was art in culture.”

He was shocked when he found out he had won the award.

“It was the best time of my life, I was very excited and I felt like I was going to faint ... it didn’t sink in at the time when I was actually hearing it,” Mr Edwards-Pepper said.

“Just knowing what great artwork was out there ... it was great know that I was selected from the other artworks.”

Through his use of colours and many different elements in his piece, Mr Edwards-Pepper conveys his pride, both of being gay and embracing his culture.

“I did a lot of bright colours, and neon colours also - to make people happy ... some of the images represent my journey in life,” he said.

“Like Japan, I’ve been to Japan, and that was the happiest time of my life, so I have that on the artwork and some of the ones that make me happy and proud to be who I am.

“Art brings people together, no matter what culture you are.”

It has acted as a springboard for many artists, with many going on to present solo shows and have their work displayed in international collections.

GP shortages on the agenda of Latrobe City

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City will ask the state and federal governments to help tackle doctor shortages and to help retain general practitioners in the Latrobe Valley.

The motion was raised by Cr Sharon Gibson at Latrobe City’s December meeting after being contacted by a local resident who was battling to find a consistent doctor to treat his ageing parents.

“So many problems were not being addressed because there is no consistency. If you don’t have a doctor who is consistent and understands your needs, then there is an issue,” Cr Gibson said.

Latrobe City will ask state and federal health ministers for initiatives to ensure there were enough general practitioners to work in Moe, Morwell, Traralgon and Churchill.

It will also ask for initiatives to retain general practitioners to properly meet the ongoing needs of the Latrobe Valley community.

Cr Dale Harriman said he had heard some locals were waiting for up to four months to see their regular doctor.

“If you’ve had a doctor for a long time, they understand your idiosyncrasies, of if you are exaggerating or keeping something quiet,” Cr Harriman said.

“It sounds terrible, but there’s an overflow of doctors in some of our capital cities with mega clinics being built running 24 hours.

“We have clinics here where we can’t see a doctor five days a week between three and five.

The long-term retention of GPs is exceedingly important if we are to grow our regional city.”

Cr Graeme Middlemiss cited an example of attempting to see his GP for a prescription, to be told the doctor had completed his “experience period and went back to Melbourne”.

“So, it’s back to square one. I don’t know why the Latrobe Valley appears to be the poor relative when it comes to the supply of medical practitioners,” Cr Middlemiss said.

Objectors make voices heard

By MICHELLE SLATER

OBJECTORS to a planned used lead acid battery recycling plant in Hazelwood North gathered outside a state government building in Traralgon on Friday pushing for an Environment Effects Statement.

About two dozen community members with some donned in disposable hazmat suits, held signs in front of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning building.

The rally organised by ALiVe was calling on Planning Minister Richard Wynne to conduct an EES into the project to recycle 50,000 tonnes per year of batteries into refined lead at the Fourth Road site.

Page 12 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 13 December, 2021

It comes after a recent Parliamentary Inquiry into air pollution in Victoria recommended the state government to conduct an independent EES into the project.

ALiVe secretary Maggie Jones said the hazmat suits represented the “toxic nature” of the plant.

“This will impact the whole region, not just Hazelwood North,” Ms Jones told The Express.

“We are calling for an EES to enact the recommendation from the parliamentary inquiry, and the fact we haven’t heard back from the government was extremely disappointing.”

Mr Wynne approved the project after the Environmental Protection Authority had granted a Works Approval for the application.

The approval will require developer Chunxing to comply with strict operating conditions.

Mr Wynne granted the planning approval based on expert advice, stating that the EPA approvals would be sufficient to ensure appropriate safeguards would be in place for the project.

But Ms Jones said the Chunxing proposal should not go ahead without an EES on top of the EPA approvals. She stated the importance of thorough assessments and to look at projects comprehensively.

“This is an opportunity for the Latrobe Valley to be a part of a just transition that reflects the community’s needs and the community has said they don’t want this,” she said.

The Express contacted Chunxing for comment.

Annual Toy Run a success story

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

THE annual Gippsland Motorcyclists Toy Run demonstrated the Valley’s generosity earlier this month.

Hundreds of motorcyclists gathered in Traralgon and rode to Erica on Saturday, December 4 to donate gifts to families in need and celebrate the festive season.

Organisers Alf and Stella Vella reported a total of $54,722 was raised for the 2021 event.

With bikes decked out in tinsel and Christmas decorations, the motorcyclists rode into the tiny town.

Businesses and community groups helped cater to the crowds, and food and coffee vans also attended.

“We organised for the Scouts to do a barbecue and they had a couple of marquees,” Mr Vella told The Express.

“The pub was going crazy, and the general store was selling pies as fast as they could grab them out of the oven. We had a coffee van, and an ice-cream van.”

The Gippsland Motorcyclists Toy Run has been operating for 22 years and despite the impacts of the pandemic, is showing no signs of slowing down.

Mr Vella said that the outdoor event was a terrific return to normality, and allowed people to gather together and socialise in support of a great cause.

“It looks like COVID might have impressed on people that a lot of families are doing it pe that it keeps on going going, tough ... I just hope because the wholee Valley just opened up its heart,” he said. ad such a response from such “We’ve never ha people ... there were a broad range of p ree doing people everywhere g things g had before. that we’ve never h we will have “If it gets biggerr w iv ve about to get more creativ our parking.” tm mosphere Adding to the atm uees Band, were the 350s Blue who entertained peeople heir while they made th jooyed the donations and enjo food on offer. heeiir “They donated th hey y time to us ... and th play the most magnificent bluess music,” Mr Vella said. m the Volunteers from nd St Salvation Army an w in Vincent De Paul were o the attendance, and looaded

Blackwood’s view draws criticism

IN response to an article by Philip Hopkins (The Express, 6/12/21) titled ‘MP: Back native timber industry’, Gary Blackwood goes on to outline why our Gippsland forests should be cut down to make up the shortfall in supply at Opal Australian Paper, Maryvale.

Mr Blackwood begins by blaming green activists for destroying the local native timber industry, fast forward next 10 years and the blame game as to why AP Maryvale has a reduced workforce due to lack of pulp logs, perhaps the lack of foresight business modelling might also be to blame?

That Mr Blackwood includes the waste to energy plant as a victim of fibre supply makes me think burning our native forests to create energy was the plan all along, shame!

The Waste to Energy plant was touted as a standalone solution for south-east Melbourne’s domestic and commercial waste, and the closed loop system would produce little pollution if preferred combustion temperatures were reached, seems some hot burning trees from our precious cool water catchment providing forests would be the key.

The barramundi farm, and lignin plant sound great, both can be achieved without slaying our damp fireproof forests.

Mr Blackwood sees the importance of transitioning the demise of Yallourn Power Station workforce to other industries, this will not include increased activity in the destruction of what will be The Great Forest National Park.

There is more value in preservation and tourism as Melbourne populations spread closer to Gippsland.

The old firefighting spiel is hilarious as once wet fern gullies, now exposed to the hot summer sun post clear felling, result in wider bush tracks now without canopy to keep in the cool.

Let it be known these much wider than required for normal recreational vehicle tracks are made freeway wide to mitigate the risk of a fallen trees slowing down logging truck traffic.

Wider tracks create wind tunnels to power faster wild fires.

Mr Blackwood goes on to say only six per cent of native forest was available for sustainable timber production, blaming ‘feral greens’, for slowing down the timber industry.

I have observed logging coupes in Alpine National Park off Castle Hill track, nearest town; Briagolong, decimation of the forest protecting a fern gully below Mt Baw Baw National Park, close to Rowley Ridge Rd, Long Spur Rd and Charity Spur Rd. Cream Can Hill on Thompson Jordan Divide Road, logging inside a gated water catchment, all there to see Gary Blackwood.

Why wreck our precious old forests for paper production when other fast growing fibres could be an option?

Online comments SIMPLY THE ZEST Marie Harder: The huge lemon tree at my last home in Churchill produces the weirdest shapes. Apparently it is a parasite that causes it. We would get ones that looked like several fingers.

Adele Bennett: Good one John!

Lauren Krell: Tell me there is no news to report, without telling me.

YALLOURN CLOSURE COULD BE “MORE PAINFUL” Mel Phillips: Traralgon bypass would be great. Get the big trucks that are passing through out of the town. Great for work, great for traffic, great for locals. Let’s be real Traralgon is still the food stop for people passing through.

Just put up signs to show what is available at this exit.

Mark Penniciuk: The Latrobe Valley needs massive funding to fix the road and rail network and an upgrade of the airport. Plus financial incentives to attract large scale manufacturing that must employ locals first in full time positions, and stop workforce casualisation.

Tiffany Brown: Not a lot of point having great transportation networks without something to sell. The image of Latrobe City as a risky place to invest will be hard to overcome.

The City Council creation of the “Transition Committee” has connotations of a Latrobe Regional Commission version two. Free enterprise will not support a centrally planned economy.

Anthony Wasiukiewicz: Is that the bloke Grass paper in Germany one example. Timber products for building, yes Mr Blackwood we all want that hardwood flooring, but composite products using plantation timbers will do the same job, as do laminated beams.

Mr Blackwood goes on to blame recent fires for dwindling softwood supplies. Did he mention crop failures, dangerous cable logging on steep country, erosion causing silting up of streams, and gaps in planting rotations?

Propping up failing business models is not the way to run Victoria, look at the state monies thrown into car production, all gone.

Anyway, Mr Blackwood goes on to blame ‘feral activists’, well good on you brave individuals for standing up to the VicForests bullies cutting down our grandchildren’s heritage.

Pity the old timber building in Traralgon does not emote the same feelings as living trees.

Aspiring local doctors now have a direct pathway to study medicine locally at Monash University’s School of Rural Health, following the launch of Federation University’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Gippsland Partnership Program).

We are partnering with Latrobe City Council to deliver opportunities for student-led clinics, work placements, professional development, and other training.

We are supporting new energy technologies and innovation through a partnership with the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain and JPower and close collaboration with the National Energy Resources Australia and the Gippsland Hydrogen Hub led by the Committee for Gippsland.

In 2022, we will offer the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Information Engineering) Honours Program to help address a serious shortage of qualified electrical engineers. We have introduced Australia’s first Bachelor of Cognitive Enterprise - a partnership with global technology company IBM - at our Gippsland and Ballarat campuses.

We are supporting over 60 leaders and emerging leaders from across Gippsland to undertake their MBA in partnership with Regional Development Victoria. Gippsland also stands to benefit from proposed changes to Federation’s operating model that will enable our university to grow and prosper in a sustainable way.

Federation recently released a consultation paper that recommends moving from having six Schools to three interdisciplinary centres aligned to our existing Research Centres.

The proposed centres and their discipline areas would include: • Health and Wellbeing - includes health care professionals, public health, health services management, health informatics, health economics, occupational health, exercise and sports science, psychology.

• Education, Government and Community - includes education, humanities and social sciences, social welfare, and Arts Academy.

• Science, Innovation and Sustainable Economic Development - includes life sciences, geosciences, engineering, maths, IT, business.

This approach would drive collaboration across the University to respond to employer and innovation demand at all levels - from research and innovation partnerships to co-designed program and course offerings, and the opportunity for our students to learn in the workplace and gain industry certifications and skills needed by employers.

This streamlined job focussed approach would set Federation apart from other Australian universities, allowing us to deliver an exciting future for our students and communities.

With these proposed changes, together with what we have achieved in Gippsland over the past two years, I am confident we will become Gippsland’s university.

Professor Duncan Bentley, Federation University Australia vice-chancellor and president.

Think of our most vulnerable

THERE is no doubt that 2021 has been a tough year for most Australians and with the arrival of Omicron things continue to look uncertain.

Our latest festive season survey has found that for many this time of year is particularly stressful and lonely.

Australian Red Cross’ annual loneliness data shows significantly more women and younger people are feeling lonelier this festive season.

People reported the pandemic has changed their relationships with others and the way they see the world.

Our team of volunteers will be making calls throughout the festive period to those who are vulnerable and isolated, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers for their work this year. I would also encourage people to check in on your neighbours and friends to see how they are going or pick up the phone to someone you have lost touch with.

Let them know that people do care and put a smile on their faces. A simple, yet thoughtful gesture could really make their holiday.

To support our everyday work, including to build community connection, please check out our website where you can also get tips on small things you can do to change the world.

And the Full Moon urges you to take a close look at your personal values. Do you need to let go of certain people, possessions or attitudes that have passed their used-by date? But be careful that your main form of entertainment isn’t shopping. Your bank balance (and budget) won’t appreciate a shop-’til-youdrop kind of week.

So slow down and pace yourself. The weekend Full Moon is the perfect time for a brilliant light-bulb moment. You certainly have the ideas and passion to get an ambitious project off the ground. Now all you need is the patience and persistence to finish it.

GGemini This week’s planetary patterns

emphasise the constant balancing act between personal needs and relationship responsibilities.

And the buzz words are companionship and conversation. Be inspired by this week’s birthday great, English author Jane Austen: “My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation.” The weekend Full Moon (in Gemini) is a wonderful time to spoil yourself with a special treat!

Don’t waste time worrying or retaliating! As birthday great Taylor Swift reminds us: “Haters gonna hate.” Just shake it off and get on with the business of living a positive Libran life. The weekend Full Moon highlights aspirations and exploration.

Whether it’s income, property, business or relationships, all joint endeavours must be closely examined. And you also need to be circumspect with personal finances. You’re feeling impulsive and won’t require much encouragement to shop up a storm, as impulsive Mars boosts your pre-festive spirits and your spontaneous spending gene. So be careful you don’t blow a big hole in your Christmas budget.

Sagittarius g With the Sun, Mercury and

Marss visiting your sign, it’s time to be proactive as you shake off the shackles of other people’s expectations and instead, be the authentic you. Plus, Venus and Pluto shine a spotlight on self-respect and core self-esteem, so don’t try to be someone you’re not. Enjoy being the sassy Sagittarian you were born to be. Your motto for the moment is from singer-songwriter Taylor Swift (who turns 32 on Monday): “Just be yourself.

But – as you retreat into your private world – make sure you can differentiate between fact and fantasy, otherwise you’ll end up in a confusing mess. A joint venture (or romantic partnership) needs to pass the Practicality Test. So try to balance being idealistic with beingg realistic. And don’t make serious commitments unless you’re 100% certain you can keep them.

Capricorn p The Full Moon’s activating your wellbbeing zone, so jump off the comfy couch and get moving! Nutritious meals are also on the celestial menu, as you take more interest in your health and more pride in your appearance.

The Full Moon stimulates your domestic zone, so plan to spend the weekend at home, complete with yummy food, relaxing music and your favourite books or TV shows.

Vital for the community: The new Mirboo North Medical Centre opened at the weekend.

Centre open for care

THE new Mirboo North Medical Centre opened at the weekend.

The $1.9 million modern medical and allied health facility includes five consulting rooms, two treatment rooms and a pathology room.

The new facility, built on Ridgway by the Mirboo North and District Community Foundation, provides twice the space of the current centre’s premises.

“The Community Foundation built this facility to strengthen and sustain the medical services across our district,” Community Foundation chair Paul Pratt said.

“We have worked closely with the Mirboo North Medical Centre practice to help secure their mission of providing a medical and health service of excellence without financial discrimination.”

Dr Sonya Moncrieff said the purpose-built facility had exceeded all expectations.

“It will provide better access to medical and allied health services for all in our community,” Dr Moncrieff said.

“The existing clinic had no space to accommodate additional medical practitioners. With a significant expansion from two to five consulting rooms, we are aiming to have a strong medical team, including four Doctors, and various Allied Health Professionals.”

The facility is an asset that will sit on the Community Foundation’s balance sheet and is classified as an ‘impact’ investment.

This means it has a lower financial return (compared to its broader investment portfolio) but a significant social return in the form of the improved community health outcomes.

“We know from the Mirboo North & District Vital Signs Report that half of the residents in the area are health care card holders,” executive officer Ruth Rogan said.

“A larger medical facility which provides increased access to bulk billing doctors, will have a big impact on the health of our communities.”

There is a wonderful circularity to this story, as the Community Foundation’s origins were in community healthcare.

The Mirboo North Bush Nursing Hospital, which was built in 1932, became Mirboo North Aged Care in 1994 and was sold in 2008 for $5 million.

The Community Foundation was created to hold the proceeds from the sale and to invest it for the future of the communities that had previously used the hospital.

“Through these investments and generous community donations the Community Foundation now has a perpetual fund of more than $8 million and has given more than $1.5 million back to the community through grants and sponsorships,” Mr Pratt said.

“The medical centre is the Community Foundation’s most significant undertaking and one that stands to serve those who live in and around Mirboo North for generations.”

Science roadshow stops

by Trafalgar High School

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A SCIENCE roadshow captivated local students during its visit to Trafalgar High School.

University of Melbourne’s Science Delivery program presented the exciting science session earlier this month.

Over the last two years, the presentations have had to happen online.

However, this year it is back on the road.

In the sessions, students were got to experience boiling molten metal, flaming waves, a collection of skulls and lung dissections.

The aim of the program is to increase the participation of high school students from low socio-economic backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Trafalgar High School’s Head of Science Ashley Bannister said the demonstration was “fantastic”.

“I think it’s really great for them to see students who have had similar upbringings, and are also from regional areas succeed and go to university, and to hear from them that it is possible,” she said.

“We can tell then as teachers, but having them hear it from young adults, and people that are closer to their age, or have graduated more recently from high school, they take it a on board a bit Morwell.”

Ms Bannister said it was good to have an in person demonstration.

“We have had very little opportunities recently to have big wow-factor science pracs, we did our best to get them doing things at home,” she said.

This is the first time the Melbourne University program has attended Trafalgar High School and Ms Bannister reported the staff were impressed with the quality of the demonstration.

“They nailed it, the way they presented it and the structure of the day ... it was absolutely fantastic,” Ms Bannister said.

“We will have them back for sure.”

The program is presented by current Bachelor of Science students, and allows high school students to get hands on with science and learn about studying the field at university.

All presenters are part of the Melbourne University’s equity scheme for domestic students - Access Melbourne. Those in the scheme as either from rural areas, are from a financially disadvantaged background, or are Indigenous.

These students are able to connect with others and act as role models, by sharing their own unique stories.

Other schools included in the program are Maffra Secondary College and Bairnsdale Secondary College.

Transition focus of new campaign

Ms Bull now understands that reduction of CO2 and methane emissions is urgent if we are to keep temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

“It is a challenge but most of the countries at COP26 signed the Glasgow Pact to phase out coal. It’s a start, but net zero emissions by 2050 will be too late,” states Ms Bull.

“I want all federal candidates to commit to strong action on climate change, and at least match the targets set by the Business Council of Australia and the International Energy Agency.”

Rapid closure of the Latrobe Valley power stations will have a huge impact on the local economy and Ms Bull is worried about her community.

“Where is the transition plan from the Victorian and Federal governments? The Latrobe Valley Authority has done good work but there needs to be a properly funded statutory authority to manage the challenges of closure, rehabilitation, retraining and new business, so that the distress experienced during SEC privatisation is avoided,” Ms Bull said.

“The federal election is an opportunity to set this area on a new path to prosperity.”

COMMUNITY groups, businesses and individuals across Gippsland are joining forces to push for a rapid transition to renewable energy and a better future beyond coal, for the Latrobe Valley.

In an open letter, Gippslanders are asking their elected representatives and candidates in the upcoming federal election to:  Commit to and legislate a national evidencebased plan to slash climate pollution this decade.  Contribute significant funding to the Latrobe Valley Authority so it can continue its work to reskill, re-train and re-deploy workers and invest in diversifying the Gippsland economy.

Showing their support for urgent political action on climate change, 25 households across Gippsland took part in a photographic collage, holding large, cardboard letters spelling out ‘Power Gippsland’s Transition.’

The Sultana family: Moe

THE Sultana family from Moe appear in the collage standing in front of the Yallourn Power Station.

Jane Sultana explains that her family chose this location for the following reasons. Firstly, the family has benefited from the Valley’s coal fired energy industry.

Her husband, Denis, worked at the Yallourn Power station as a technical officer for 40 years where he enjoyed excellent job security, good wages, and comfortable working conditions.

Secondly and most critically, she believes that the Yallourn Power Station, along with all other coal fired power stations in Australia must close this decade to avert catastrophic climate change and ensure a safe, healthy future for all.

“The future for our two sons will be bleak if greenhouse gas emissions do not plummet this decade,” Ms Sultana said.

“However, they are likely to be among the luckier ones. What will the future look like for children living in the Pacific Islands and the Torres Strait Islands? Rising sea levels and severe storms are already having a devastating impact on their low-lying homes. They are destined to become climate refugees. Where will they go?”

Lorraine Bull: Morwell

Could this be climate change?” asks Lorraine Bull, a long-time resident of the Latrobe Valley.

“This is what climate scientists and the CSIRO have predicted for several decades, but at first I did not believe them. But now, the weather is bizarre, and I am worried about the world in which my grandchildren will live.”

YALLOURN North resident Libby Mitchell has lived right next door to the Yallourn Power Station for almost 15 years.

She appreciates that the power stations and mines have provided good employment and security for families in the Latrobe Valley for the past 100 years, but Ms Mitchell is afraid that toxic air pollution could be damaging the health of our residents and contaminating our soil.

“The Yallourn Power Station is more than 45 years old and it’s wearing out. When it was built, it was only intended to operate for 30 years.

I don’t think enough is being done to keep us safe,” Ms Mitchell explained.

“I sympathise with power station workers.

They have had a terrible time really and their grief and loss during transition needs to be validated. However, now we should all accept that transition away from coal is necessary for the public good.”

New facility opened in Rawson THE Rawson community has turned out in numbers to mark the official opening of a dynamic new skate park, multi-play recreation space and recreational vehicle (RV) parking area in the heart of their town.

Even the rain couldn’t dampen local enthusiasm as Baw Baw Shire Mayor Michael Leaney, Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing, councillors and council officers, representatives of Regional Development Victoria (RDV), local members of the project reference group, and excited Rawson residents celebrated the official opening on Monday, December 6.

“This multi-play recreation space in the heart of Rawson offers the community the perfect outdoor space to gather with family, stay active and socialise all throughout the year,” Cr Leaney said.

“A significant amount of planning and consultation went into the development of this project to ensure the needs and expectations of the local community were met.

“We thank all the project partners for their contributions. It’s fantastic to be able to work together to deliver such a great asset for the Rawson region.”

The transformed precinct provides a space for people of all ages to come together and have fun and be active.

The space includes:  A variety of skate park ramps, rails and elements  A tennis hit up wall  A three-point line basketball court  Picnic tables, shelter and seating  Drinking fountains  Disability compliant walkways  Landscaping, embankments and plantings  Grassed kickabout area  An additional car and RV parking area.

The $484,173 project was delivered by Baw Baw Shire Council in partnership with Regional Development Victoria, with RDV contributing $322,782 and Council contributing $161,391 through its 2020/21 Capital Works Program.

“It’s been good actually. It’s felt like we’ve been able to have a say in how it’s all come together.

Through the group we ended up basically helping design the concept of the park: we want a rail, a little half-pipe (and so on),” Project Reference Group member Liam Doyle said.

Historic day: A number of dignitaries including Baw Baw Shire Council’s chief executive officer Mark Dupe, Baw Baw Mayor Michael Leaney and Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing were at the opening. photographs supplied

Plenty of fun times ahead: Local residents Kash, Liam and Mackenzie Doyle were among the first to have a crack at the Rawson Skate Park.

Popular location: The new facility will be a major asset to the community of Rawson and surrounding areas.

“It’s great for the community. The kids have been looking for something to do a lot of the time and this is just what they needed. As soon as it was built and we were allowed in, the kids wanted to come here every single day.”

Long-time local and mum Tanya Nelson agreed.

“My son loves it,” she said.

“He’d be up here every day if he could. I’m so happy to see it happen. I’ve been a local here for a

very long time and it’s great for the kids to have something to do up here. This is fantastic. It’s a great little park. The kids just love it.”

Following the formal proceedings, GippSport Streetgames turned up the tunes and led basketball activities on the half-court, while children of all ages took to the skatepark after the rain to test their skills on the new facilities.

Project works were completed in early October

and the site has been accessible to the public since.

However, due to the disruptions caused by COVID-19, the formal opening was postponed to allow the opportunity for all key stakeholders to attend and be acknowledged in person.

The Rawson Skate Park and RV Parking Area project has been described as a welcomed economic boost for the region’s tourism economy after a challenging period.

Morwell Central students perform Aladdin Kids

Concert: Ayla and Erin were among the St Joseph’s Primary School students to perform. photograph supplied

The Lost Genie proves a big hit ST Joseph’s Primary School in Trafalgar recently held their biannual school concert.

The script was produced by a small group of motivated students who eagerly embraced the challenge.

Excitedly and with the guidance of our amazing music teacher Raelee Hill, The Lost Genie was brought to life.

The concert was performed in a COVID safe environment outside on the school grounds.

The sun was shining brightly on the stars as they danced, sang and acted out their extraordinary talents.

Parents and families were amazed at the creativity and ability of the performers, artists, musicians and authors of the play.

It was a wonderful family night enjoyed by all present.

THERE was lots of excitement in the air as well as some sighs of relief when the Grade 4/5/6 students at Morwell Central Primary finally performed the musical Aladdin Kids.

This show was two years in the making, but due to COVID, the students were previously unable to stage it. To keep everyone as safe as possible, the students were recorded performing the show, so there was no live audience.

It is hoped that everyone in the school will be able to watch it on the TVs in their hubs, during the last week of school.

The students loved the story of Aladdin, a kind street urchin who fell in love with the beautiful Princess Jasmine.

They worked hard during their weekly Performing Arts and Music sessions to learn the dances and songs and the principals had extra rehearsals at lunchtimes.

On stage: Riley had the role of Jasmine and Tristan played Aladdin.

Spellbound: Kyane was Prince Malik, Bella was Prince Adbulah and Xavier was the Sultan.

Fine production: Beau as the Genie and Tristan as Aladdin.

Teamwork: Penny as the Fruit Vendor and Amy as the Bread Vendor.

Scouting awards are all in the family

THERE was a special moment for the Corrigan family recently.

Group Leader Andrew Corrigan and his son Liam Corrigan, a Rover Scout of the 1st Newborough Scout Group, were awarded their Adult Recognition award.

“Adult Recognition Awards are awarded to Active Leaders, Young Adult Members (Rover Scouts), and other members and supporters who have given valuable services to Scouts Australia over an extended period,” Honorary Commissioner Simon Marks said.

The 1st Newborough Scout Group nominated the Corrigans for going above the normal volunteer duties.

They supported 1st Newborough’s share of a $430,813 grant from the Latrobe Valley Authority’s Community Facility Fund, which funded improvements at six Scout halls in Glengarry, Trafalgar, Stratford, Maffra, Traralgon and Newborough during 2018 and 2019.

Upgrades at the Newborough Scout Hall included new air conditioning, electrical upgrades, security upgrades and a concrete extension to the front veranda to allow for all abilities access.

Both volunteers invested huge amount of time into gathering quotes and communicating with the funding partners that included the state government, LVA and Latrobe City Council.

Scouting had to invest both funds it fundraised and volunteer hours into the projects, with Andrew and Liam co-ordinating teams who made this possible for a successful completion of the project in November 2019.

Liam was awarded the Special Service Award which is awarded to Adult Members and Supporters for an intense contribution over a period of at least 12 months to the success of a major event or major activity. “‘Special Service’ is defined as making a noteworthy contribution in their role and Liam has ensured the at the Rover Youth Members aged 18 to 26 got an active voice in the projects funded by the LVA as well as supported these youth members to provide the in kind Support on behalf of scouting into the hall up grades,” 1st Newborough Scout Group spokesperson David ‘Wombat’ Lyons said.

Andrew was awarded the Meritorious Service Award which is awarded to both Adult Members and Supporters for meritorious or praiseworthy

continued to grow in its number of youth members, adult volunteers and upgrades of facilities and activities,” Mr Lyons said.

The pair were presented with their awards by the Chief Commissioner of Scouts Victoria Rod Byrnes and Deputy Chief Commissioner Daniella

Taglieri during a statewide gathering at Gembrook on November 28.

LVE, a local organisation that creates meaningfulemploymentopportunitiesforpeoplewith disabilities, partnered with local services CoAbility, Maxima, and GippSport to celebrate on Friday, December 3.

Each year, LVE stages an event for IDPwD, in celebration of the the hard work put in each year

“The event is to acknowledge the great work that our guys do for the community ... it’s a little bit of fun and chance to chill out,” Ms Lewis said.

Maxima Morwell’s site manager Cassandra Carn was excited to be a part of the event.

“It’s about celebrating people with different abilities,” Ms Carn said.

Maxima is a recruitment, training and employment agency.

CoAbility community partnerships officer Ron D’Arcy said the event is also about different organisations in similar fields “coming together and connecting”.

CoAbility is a support service dedicated to helping people get the most out of their NDIS experience.

The event gives groups involved in the disability and jobs sector to support each other.

“It gets together like minded people,” he said.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and offered an opportunity for lighthearted competitiveness and offered some much needed socialisation after a trying year.

Donations at the heart of Men’s Shed

TRARALGON Men’s Shed received a generous grant from the “Keith Chenhall Charitable Trust” which enabled three key machines to be upgraded.

“The successful grants announcement couldn’t have been better timed following the June floods that damaged so many machines at the Traralgon Men’s Shed,” club secretary/treasurer Lyn Matthews said.

The Keith Chenhall Charitable Trust grant

funded the replacement of three most used machines - Table Saw, Jointer and Thicknesser.

The new table saw has special safety features and additional components will be added as funding allows.

The machinery and volunteers are currently working hard making picnic tables for Mallacoota community, with a delivery of 10 tables programmed before Christmas.

The Mallacoota Lions Club will distribute

the donated items across their community as deliveries are received.

The Mallacoota community was extensively damaged during the 2019/2020 fires and continue to rebuild homes and community infrastructure.

The donated “Picnic Tables and Bench Seats” will enable visitors and the community the use of these facilities for many years.

There will be three staged deliveries to

Mallacoota, with one delivery this year and two more during 2022.

The Shed will continue working on the Mallacoota Project next year and welcome new volunteers to assist with the construction of picnic tables and bench seats.

Traralgon Men’s Shed will close for Christmas from December 17 and reopen on January 11, 2022. Excluding holidays, the Shed is Open from 8am to 3pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Morwell SES unit’s fine contributors applauded

VICSES Morwell Unit celebrated the dedicated service and training achievements of volunteer members and the support provided by their families at a function on Monday, December 6 at the Traralgon RSL. Deputy chief officer Alistair Drayton and assistant chief officer Anthony McLean were very proud to be able to attend and present some of these important awards.

Three national medals were presented on the evening, to Raymond Fox, Jordan Lanigan and Michelle Williams.

This special medal is awarded to those who have spent at least 15 years putting themselves at risk in service of the community, with clasps recognising every additional 10 years of service.

Ray and Jordan both joined in 2003 and have both held many different roles in the unit.

Ray and Jordan have been members of the Road Crash Rescue team to compete in the Australasian Road Rescue Challenge in New Zealand in 2005 and 2006.

Michelle Williams joined in 2005 and has undertaken the role of unit training officer for six years and most recently been deployed to the East Gippsland fires.

Several VICSES service awards were also presented on the evening.

Geoffrey Crisp received an amazing 30-year award for his committed service and Michelle Williams and Jordan Lanigan received 15-year awards.

Ten-year awards were received by Belinda Matters, George Potts, David Newbury, Anthony Moretti and Rhonda Fox, while Kim Widrich, Barry Williams and Ashlee Flanigan received five-year awards.

“All up, that is 125 years of combined service that has been recognised by a dedicated and passionate group of community members,” Morwell VICSES Unit controller Raelene Billingsley said.

“It’s such a huge achievement and we are so proud of them.”

Many members have also been diligently undertaking training courses leading to Certificates in Public Safety.

Certificates II and III in Public Safety were presented to Anthony Moretti, Raymond Fox, Michael Vanderzalm, Daniel Kobiela, David Neilson, David Newberry, Raelene Billingsley and Michelle Williams.

Certificate II in Public Safety were presented to Dimiti Bates, Heather Hadgkiss, Kim Widrich, George Potts, Kerrilee Kendall and Sian Tubb.

Certificate IV in Public Safety was presented to Geoff Crisp.

One very special award presented on the night was that of VICSES life membership to Heather Hadgkiss.

This award recognises those volunteers who have given active and significant service beyond the efficient regular service recognised by the VICSES long service award.

Heather did not know she was receiving this award and was overwhelmed with emotion during the presentation.

This now brings the number of VICSES life

Team effort: Certificates in Public Safety recipients.

All smiles: Assistant chief officer Anthony McLean, Morwell Unit controller Raelene Billingsley and deputy chief officer Alistair Drayton. memberships to four within Morwell Unit, which is one of the highest numbers in the state in one location.

Heather first joined VICSES in June 1998 as an operational member and has undertaken various roles within the unit, covering both operational, leadership and administrative tasks.

She has been the driver behind the annual tin rattle held on the Melbourne Cup weekend since 1998, raising over $300,000 for various items for the unit including a new vehicle, shedding and vital rescue equipment.

Heather has also been a part of the volunteer Peer Support program since 2000 which has taken her all over Gippsland.

“Heather’s knowledge, skills and commitment I believe are some of the best within VICSES. She is highly respected by her peers, fellow

“Our unit is like a large family, we are an extremely cohesive and supportive group of people during good and challenging times. We are extremely proud of what all our members have achieved tonight through their dedication and commitment in protecting their community”.

The importance of family support in enabling VICSES volunteers to respond to emergencies is vital, for a fully volunteer service to function at its best.

“Families and friends play a critical support role for our volunteers. It’s this support that ensures our members can be there to help their communities when they’re in need, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,” Ms Billingsley said.

“Whether it’s picking up the kids from school, heating up dinner, or being there for a hug after a long day or night – their support means everything to us.”

Great honour: Deputy chief officer Alistair Drayton and life membership award recipient, Morwell Unit volunteer member Heather Hadgkiss.

Morwell is identified as potential Youth Foyer location in the future

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL has been identified as a suitable location for a Youth Foyer.

Infrastructure Victoria released Victoria’s Infrastructure Strategy 2021–2051 roadmap in mid-August, which calls for six new 40-bed Youth Foyers across regional Victoria, including Morwell.

Youth Foyers are intended to provide young people aged 16 to 24, with stable accommodation for up to three years.

The facilities are intended to support youth in transitioning to independent or semi-independent living.

Infrastructure Victoria acting chief executive officer Jonathan Spear explained the purpose of Youth Foyers for young Victorians.

“Youth Foyers are more than just a temporary housing solution, they offer young people personalised support through coaching and mentoring, helping them find meaningful work, build independence and develop valuable life skills,” he said.

“While extensive efforts have been made over the years to revitalise regional cities and attract new industries, youth unemployment remains a challenge for many areas as young people seek to break into relatively smaller job markets.”

While accessing a Youth Foyer, young people are often required to sign up to mutual agreements that require they continue their education, training, or employment.

Morwell has been selected as a prime location for one of these six foyers, due its positioning near public transport and other services such as schools and support services.

The other towns identified are Bendigo, Geelong, Mildura, Wangaratta and Wodonga.

Infrastructure Victoria has reported that the chosen towns have a higher rate of youth unemployment and lower levels of education attainment.

According to the organisation, Morwell’s youth education and unemployment rates surpass the state average.

“In Morwell, 38 per cent of people aged between 20 and 30 years have not completed Year 12, compared with the Victorian average of 17 per cent.

Worryingly, up to 9 per cent of school leavers in Morwell aged 15 to 19 are neither in the workforce, studying, nor completing training, compared with the Victorian average of 3 per cent.”

Mr Spear said for Youth Foyers, the “benefits far outweigh the costs.”

“Support networks play an important role in helping young people transition from schooling to the workforce, whether it’s friends, family or mentors, but unfortunately not everybody has access to these networks,” he said.

“Research shows that targeted interventions that support a successful transition from school into work or further study help young Victorians thrive in later life.”

Morwell is already home to a number of youth support services, however the area’s recent housing crisis has been well documented and many youth are still homeless.

Mark Tanti, Manager Community Programs at The Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS) Gippsland said youth homelessness is an issue in the region.

“We know that youth homelessness is an issue here in Gippsland. YSAS workers in Gippsland across all our locations regularly come across young people who are homeless as a consequence of family breakdown and other compounding factors,” he said.

“It’s often the case that young people are told to

Good news: Morwell has been identified as a suitable location for a Youth Foyer. go find friends or family that they can stay with, but couch surfing isn’t a long term solution. If they are lucky they’ll be sent to St Kilda crisis accommodation which is three hours one-way by public transport.”

YSAS offers support for young people, focusing on alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment, and offering support for young people and families.

“This week we’ve had two young people drop into our office in need of a healthy lunch, cup of coffee and somewhere warm to wait while they charged their phone. They were sleeping rough in a paddock nearby,” Mr Tanti said.

The pandemic has been a tough time for young people who are homeless, and has seen them struggle to access services.

“Getting vaccinated is difficult for young people who are homeless,” he said.

“Many don’t have phones and need to go to great lengths to verify that they’re vaccinated by contacting Medicare, requesting a copy of the certificate to be received by post, and paying two dollars to have a hard copy record. If you’re homeless and without a phone, this is really inaccessible.”

Infrastructure Victoria reports that Youth Foyers are used in other parts of the world, including the United States the the United Kingdom for over two decades, while they have only been operating in Australian for a few years.

Infrastructure Victoria director of Research & Economics Llewellyn Reynders played a major role in drafting the roadmap.

“We went through a process of looking at the data

Cancer data raises concerns CANCER Council Victoria has noted a "concerning" decline in cancer diagnosis' in 2020.

New data, released on December 9 2021, by the Victorian Cancer Registry (VCR) showed a seven per cent decline in diagnosis, as well as new statistics about regional Victoria.

The Cancer Council report that the decline in diagnosis is likely due to the pandemic with people not attending their regular check-ups.

The most common cancers that showed a decline in diagnosis were oral cavity, prostate cancer, melanoma, and bowel cancer.

Breast cancer in women also showed a five per cent decline.

VCR director Professor Sue Evans said that is is likely due to Victorians not attending

screenings or assessments during the pandemic.

“Given the steep decline in cancer diagnosis between April and June 2020, we had anticipated seeing a high than anticipated number of diagnosis in the latter part of 2020, but this did not occur,” she said.

“As such, the deficit in diagnosis grew throughout 2020 for most cancers.”

The new data, featured in VCR's report Cancer in Victoria Statistics and Trends 2020, also relayed disturbing statics for regional Victoria.

The report reads: "Regional Victorians are 40 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma than Victorians living in major cities."

Additionally, it was found that regional Victorians are also 12 per

cent more likely to be diagnosed with cancer overall.

However, the most common types of cancers are the same as those diagnosed in people living in urban Victoria.

Cancer Council Victoria chief executive officer Todd Harper is urging Victorians to prioritise their health.

“If you have been invited to participate in a cancer screening program, please don't delay - please make that your first priority,” Mr Harper said.

“With 31 deaths form cancer every day in Victoria, we must act now to avoid a major health crisis."

“Cancer screening saves lives it is one of the most effective ways to detect early signs of cancer.”

on where there is a greater demand for these types of facilities,” he said.

“One of the things we found while doing our research for the strategy is that this model often works in regional communities where there is a strong sense of local ownership and local community… we see that this model often draws in those community connections.”

Mr Reynders explained how Youth Foyers operate.

“Basically, this is a model of supported student accommodation, it is a specially designed building … much like a university dorm or an on-campus facility,” he said.

“They have 24 hour, round the clock staff available to work with those young people, to facilitate their learning, but also their social concerns and provide a family like atmosphere, where people can be around other young people with similar experiences and develop some of those social connections and networks.”

Quantum Support Services chief executive officer Nicole McDonald is supportive of Morwell gaining a Youth Foyer.

“I think it would be a fantastic thing for both the Morwell community and for the wider Gippsland community,” she said.

Ms McDonald explained that housing is an ongoing issue for Latrobe Valley youth, citing the need for long term support.

“We obviously have a large number of youths who need homes long term, they also are looking for education and support to get their lives on track

… it’s both out of potential foster care situations, broken family relationships, and wanting to step out and support themselves,” she said.

“It’s very hard to get properties.”

Ms McDonald also said COVID was a particularly difficult time for many young people.

“A lot of them work in retail or in restaurants … and so they haven’t necessarily had that strong employment opportunity either over the last 18 months,” she said.

She said a Youth Foyer would allow young people to pursue more education and employment opportunities.

“Access to those good schools, opportunities with VCAL, are probably not as extensive where we are as they may be in the city,” she said.

“I don’t think that young people’s lives should end just because they haven’t finished Year 12.

“There’s lots of opportunities to do it later, to do different alternatives, and that’s one of the things that a Youth Foyer can offer, to support young people to get into those different opportunities.”

In an independent evaluation by KPMG it was found that the cost of Youth Foyers is offset by improvements in educational attainment, housing stability and health outcomes, including the reduced risk of offending behaviour, in comparison to transitional housing.

The research also found significant improvements in Year 12 (or equivalent) completion rates.

Infrastructure Victorian reports that Youth Foyers align with existing government reforms, including the Home Stretch and Raising Expectations.

AUSTRALIANS are urged to get in early and sign up for the country’s largest community based environmental event, Clean Up Australia Day (Sunday, March 6, 2022) as the environment feels the effects of a post COVID-19 hangover.

The opening of volunteer registrations comes after lockdowns and changed habits fuelled a significant increase in household waste.

As Australians are returning to lifestyles of pre-pandemic normality, the last two years have seen significant increases in single-use plastics, alongside unprecedented numbers of face masks, takeaway coffee cups and food packaging littering our footpaths, parks and beaches.

Clean Up Australia chairman Pip Kiernan says it’s more important than ever to protect Australia’s unique environment by stepping up on Clean Up Australia Day. “While most of us are returning to living more normally, the environment is still experiencing the impact of the pandemic,” Ms Kiernan said.

“Our habits changed during COVID and most of these haven’t been kind on the environment. Surges in online shopping, meal delivery services and the use of disposable face masks and coffee cups, mean the environment is feeling the after-effects of the pandemic in ways not seen before.”

The environmental organisation is encouraging volunteers to sign up early to show their commitment to improving the environment.

Registration is easy, and all community-based participants receive a free Clean Up kit containing gloves and bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families or groups available.

“Clean Up Australia Day is the opportunity to do some good – to roll up our sleeves, get out there and take action.” Ms Kiernan said.

“Signing up now means you’re making a pledge to protect Australia’s environment. Together, we can make a meaningful, long-lasting difference to the parks, beaches, rivers and pathways near us.”

If you can’t join a Clean Up, Ms Kiernan urges Aussies to make a donation to Clean Up Australia.

100 per cent of funds raised through donations are allocated to the provision of educational resources and clean up materials provided free of charge to community, school and youth groups across the nation, all year round.

Gippsland Grammar’s golden girls

GIPPSLAND Grammar has a trio of ‘golden girls’ with students Hannah Fairweather, Molly Howard and Hannah Ng achieving their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards.

The trio are the only Duke of Edinburgh Gold awardees from Gippsland Grammar in the past 10 years and together the three students started their Duke of Ed journeys in 2018 when they were in Year 9.

Gippsland Grammar’s Head of Duke of Edinburgh Cass Booth was brimming with excitement at the news of the triple gold.

“Proud is an understatement on how I feel about these girls achieving what they have in the Duke of Edinburgh award,” Ms Booth said.

“They have had to show self-discipline, self-awareness commitment and determination for over three years to achieve these goals.

“And they did not let the challenges of COVID-19 discourage them, they simply made alterations to their activities to ensure they could still continue with their responsibilities.

“For example, letters or videos were made to send to nursing homes when they no longer could visit. And journeys and residential programs needed to be planned and then replanned when lockdowns clashed.”

To achieve her Gold Award, Hannah Fairweather completed 52 hours each of dance, ballet and leadership over the past year as well as completing two four-day hikes in local bushland and organising a five-day Scout camp.

Over the same time period, Molly Howard completed 52 hours each of tae kwon do and rollerblading, French lessons and helping and befriending the elderly.

She also completed two four-day bushwalks in south-west Victoria and assisted at a local primary school.

Hannah completed bushwalking and enjoyed playing music to residents in local nursing homes.

During the times in lockdown she would record music and send to the residents.

Despite the challenges COVID-19 has thrown at these students they found a way to succeed and encouraged younger students along the way.

Gippsland Grammar also has a record number of younger students participating in the challenge.

In addition to the three Gold Awards, Bronze

Triple trio: Gippsland Grammar students Hannah Ng, Hannah Fairweather and Molly Howard have each achieved their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award.

Awards were awarded to 2021 Year 9 students Harry Lancaster, Iman Simnett, Sage Waters, Zahra Hanratty, Grace Ng, Georgia Steel, Alanna Magee, Ellen Roberts and Andrew Crawford, Year 10 student Emily Thai and Year 11 student Mia Mackintosh.

GIPPSLAND Grammar has been an active participant in the Duke of Edinburgh Award for many decades.

The ‘Duke of Ed’, as it’s more commonly known, is an international award available to all 14-24 year olds and compromises of three levels, each progressively more challenging; the Bronze Award is for those over 14 years old, the Silver Award is for those over 15 years and the Gold is for those over 16 years old.

Participants are required to complete four sections at each level: Voluntary Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey. Gold level, participants also complete a Gold Residential Project.

Gippsland Grammar has 65 active participants in the Duke of Ed program in 2021, including a record number of Bronze participants. To date, more than 130 countries and more than eight million young people have participated in The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program. More than 775,000 young people have participated in the Award in Australia in the past 58 years, with on average 40,000 very diverse participants annually working towards achieving an Award.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS NEW FILM IN PIPELINE FOR PANEL OF WORKING DOGS

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

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.

Work on a new film from the team behind The Castle and The Dish could begin next year according to The Panel’s host Tom Gleisner.

“The Panel starts in the New Year, but we’re looking at doing a film within the next year I think,” Gleisner said.

“There’s no storyline whatsoever at the moment. The only thing I know is it will be a comedy.”

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1971

GRIM PROSPECTS FOR JOBS IN LV

About 2400 students in the central Latrobe Valley will be looking for employment or higher education in the next three years, but the area has neither the present resources nor the prospect of meeting these needs, according to the Anglican Diocese of Gippsland’s Social Responsibility Committee.

Frank Mountford, the ALP candidate for McMillan, also said yesterday that school leavers in the Valley this year would find it even more difficult to obtain jobs than in the past.

TRARALGON SHIRE HAD SURPLUS

Traralgon Shire had a surplus of $90.80 for the 1971 financial year, councillors were told recently.

Council was told that an accumulated surplus of $126.53 will be carried forward to the present financial year.

Next plant costing approximately $19,500 was purchased during the year, of which $9500 was taken from plant reserve and the remainder of the cost was met from revenue.

MORWELL’S CYCLING FAMILY

The Kypriotis family dominated cycling events at Morwell last Sunday.

In nine races, the Kypriotis boys took out nine places.

Robert, senior grade, gained two firsts and two seconds.

Tony, schoolboys, had one first and two thirds.

Andrew, also schoolboys, had one first and a third.

But the issue could come to a heat this week.

The situation entered a new period of uncertainty following the introduction of special legislation into State Parliament and the breakdown of peace talks between the government and the Builders Labourers’ Federation on Friday.

And a full bench of the Arbitration Commission on the weekend reserved its decision on an appeal by the BLF against the insertion of a bans clause in its award.

BOWLERS DOMINATE GAME OF OURTS

Tigers crumbled to Erica in what was statistically one of the most amazing games of the CGCA year last Saturday.

Erica were 7/91 after 42 overs and in reply Tigers could only manage a miserable 31.

Including Erica’s second innings, a total of 25 wickets were lost for 163 runs.

Of these, 11 were ducks and a total of 20 batsmen scored five runs or less.

VALLEY’S V8 PUSH

10 YEARS AGO MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2011

SECRET PROJECT UNDERWAY

A new brown coal briquette demonstration plant is under construction in the Latrobe Valley and is set to begin operations next year.

In a private agreement formed after years of negotiation with Loy Yang Power, the plant’s base is currently being laid near the Loy Yang open cut mine by Latrobe Resources, a recently-formed company owned by technology developer Sustainable World Technologies.

Speaking to The Express, project manager Paul Lingard said the company had been keeping a low profile so as not to create unrealistic expectations about the project’s potential.

MARKET HOLDING ITS OWN

The Latrobe Valley could host a stage of the V8 Supercars series in the near future after a consultants’ report found a new car racing circuit in Newborough is feasible.

The proposal to host the Haunted Hills 500 is the backbone of a report recently requested

by Latrobe City Council’s business development unit.

The report, obtained by The Express, claims the track would create:  An “economic impact’’ of $8.5 million in its first year and more than $46 million over its first five years.  92 new jobs in its first year and 105 by the fifth, and  $20 million worth of television publicity.

These figures have been based on a crowd attendance of 30,000, despite the fact similar events in Adelaide and Canberra this year have attracted crowds of around 100,000.

A stage of the supercar series would be a boon for the Valley which, with the demise of NSL club Eastern Pride, has lost its leading national sports marketing tool.

MONDAY 13 DECEMBER

When Phil Shelley took over as the chief executive officer of the Gippsland Academy of Sport four years ago, he inherited a logo and nothing else.

When he officially resigns from the position this week, he leaves incoming boss Andrew Pomeroy with an organisation which currently accommodates 125 young athletes in six different sports and a soon to be formalised alignment with the Victorian Institute of Sport.

FUN FACT: A spacious four-bedroom home in Moe being sold by Keith Williams Real Estate was advertised for $167,500.

Despite depressed real estate market conditions across the state, the Latrobe Valley appeared to be ‘’holding its own’’ according to local property pundits.

Stockdale & Leggo Latrobe Valley director Jim Demetrios said property sales had been stimulated by interest rate downward revisions.

“Investors are also looking for opportunities here; while right now the future of the power stations seems uncertain, eventually we think we will see new, more efficient power stations,” Mr Demetrios said.

FIREJET CATCHES OUT ESCAPE ARTIST

A new name brought with it a new winner for the Traralgon Cup. The Dean Binaisse-trained Firejet took out a thrilling edition of the race yesterday.

Ruth Bradley produced a great ride to lift the Cup as Firejet dashed home marginally ahead of La Rocket, ridden by Noel Callow.

FUN FACT: A full HD LCD television with a built-in DVD player was on sale for $229 at Aldi.

New program is more than a game SOCCER

Activity: GippSport Streetgames has officially launched its first GO Soccer Mums program.

GIPPSPORT Streetgames has officially launched its first GO Soccer Mums program.

Sponsored by Football Victoria and in partnership with United Muslim Sisters of Latrobe Valley (UMSLV), GO Soccer Mums is a Soccer program designed specifically for women.

GO Soccer Mums is all about having fun, meeting new people, and learning basic football skills in a social, judgement-free environment. It’s not just for mums, but all women, from all walks of life! It doesn’t matter if you have never kicked a football before, any woman can play.

GO Soccer Mums commenced earlier this month at James Balfour Park, Trafalgar.

One of the coaches challenged herself to engage all the women in active recreation and assist the

participants in making a connection with the program and other participants.

“We played a game, we finished our first soccer lesson and we had a laugh. It was a good day,” reported the coach following the first session.

The participants enthusiastically shared that they “really enjoyed the session”.

For many women, this was their first time playing soccer and others not having played since they were children.

With 100 per cent participation from women who attended, the women of UMSLV are excited to continue with the program.

The next session will take place on Wednesday from 2.30pm-3.30pm.

It is a free event and all women are welcome to attend.

A great time had at Grand Ridge parkrun ATHLETICS GRAND RIDGE RAIL TRAIL PARKRUN

By STACEY HARRIAGE

Jumping for joy: Brooke Jones with Kym Tutty in the background.

Happy days: Robert Gray was all smiles on his 26th visit to Grand Ridge Rail Trail parkrun.

Thumbs up: Nadine Crawford got into the Christmas spirit.

IT WAS a mild December morning that greeted 22 smiling parkrunners and eight dedicated volunteers on Saturday.

Run director Jodie acknowledged the traditional land owners and welcomed everyone with a special welcome to Kim and Nadine from the Peninsula who made the trip up from their weekend camp site at Wilsons Prom to parkrun on the Grand Ridge Rail Trail.

We also welcomed GRRT first timers Carlie and local Kym. The vibe on the trail was electric and reminded me why I love parkrun.

It’s been awhile since I’ve actually joined in, normally I’ll be on the volunteers side, but there were lots of smiles, words of encouragement and a wonderful supportive feeling for participants - whether they’re running, walking or a bit of both.

We are so lucky to have the Grand Ridge Rail Trail here in Mirboo North and we’d like to give a huge shout out to the Committee of Management and the Wednesday Warriors who keep it in great condition for our parkrunners and many more users.

It’s great to have parkrun back at the end of 2021 and we look forward to seeing many new faces and old friends back in 2022.

One more parkrun for us this year before a two-week break over Christmas and New Year.

If you’re super keen, our good friends down the road at Koonwarra and Inverloch will both be hosting parkruns on Christmas and New Year’s Day! Check out the parkrun Australia website for more details.

Cara Mahoney is our parkrun director this weekend - giver her a shout if you’d like to try your hand at volunteering.

Scenic: It was a beautiful morning for the visitors and locals alike in the Grand Ridge Rail Trail parkrun. photographs supplied

CRICKET LVDCL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

JEERALANG-BOOLARRA’S bright start to the season continued with a thrilling one-wicket win against CATS at John Black Oval yesterday.

The Panthers were on the back foot when No.11 Rhy McNaughton strolled to the crease to join Hasitha Hewawasam.

At that stage, Jeeralang-Boolarra needed 18 runs to win and CATS had all the momentum.

But McNaughton, who earlier took 5/28 in his best performance since joining the Panthers, was resolute.

He proved an able ally for Hewawasam, another new recruit at Jeeralang-Boolarra after crossing from Traralgon West.

The duo held their nerve and guided the Panthers to victory with just two balls remaining for a famous victory.

Hewawasam remained unbeaten on 19, with McNaughton two not out.

Earlier, McNaughton had played a pivotal role in restricting CATS to 151.

The home side were cruising at 1/112 with former Zimbabwe Test player Tinashe Panyangara (59) and Jamie Cochrane (50) registering impressive half-centuries.

But momentum swung in Jeeralang-Boolarra’s favour when McNaughton claimed both Panyangara and Cochrane.

Cochrane’s dismissal sparked a stunning collapse of 8/19 as McNaughton and Hewawasam (3/11) tore through the CATS batting line-up.

Jeeralang-Boolarra’s chase got off to a poor start with openers Ben Duffy (1) and Ben McCormack (9) gone as the scoreboard read 16.

Captain Ben Heath steadied the ship with an assured 36 as Nilantha Thillekarathna (16) and Craig Blackberry (15) played useful cameos.

When Heath fell to the pace of Callum Stewart to make it 5-86, Stan Urbanic picked up the slack.

Urbanic put on 23 with Ossy Brennan (13) and added another 21 alongside Hewawasam before he fell to Rory Hare on 28.

Back-to-back run outs left Jeeralang-Boolarra further in the hole before the heroics of the final pair.

Stewart (3/22) was the pick of the CATS attack, although Panyangara (1/15) proved difficult to score from.

ANDREW Philip’s brilliant unbeaten 122 inspired Moe to a dominant win against Morwell at Keegan Street.

The Lions were in strife at 4/45 when Philip was joined by Lions skipper Pat Spiteri.

The pair wrested the momentum from the Tigers with a 113-run fifth wicket stand.

Spiteri produced a classic captain’s knock until he fell just four runs short of what would have been a deserved half-century.

Philip displayed supreme form, hitting 11 fours and a towering six, as Moe finished 5/194.

Brendan Brincat (3/37) did the early damage for Morwell.

The Tigers never seriously looked a chance in reply and were bowled out for 123 in the 43rd over.

Blair Clymo top-scored with 27, while Robert Semmler (22) and Mark Cukier (21) got starts for Morwell.

Ash Savige proved the most successful of the Moe bowlers, taking 3/21, while Clinton Taylor and Joel Mitchell each collected two.

Robert Blunt’s spell also warranted a mention, with the quick returning the analysis of 1/9 from his eight overs.

THE good times continue to roll for Trafalgar, who defeated Raiders by seven wickets at Yinnar.

Raiders were sent into bat by Ships skipper Rhys Holdsworth and fired out in the 46th over for 117.

Opener Chris Stanlake top-scored with 35, while Mick Higgins (30) and Madura Perera (24) also spent good time at the crease.

Daniel Heathcote’s inspired spell of 4/18 included the wickets of Liam Maynard and Perera, while Jackson Noonan finished with 3/18.

Trafalgar had few issues chasing down the moderate target, getting the runs in 33.4 overs.

Aydan Connolly continues to impress, scoring an unbeaten 39 and Brodie Burgess finished 29 not out.

CENTRALS stunned Churchill at George Cain Oval.

Sent into the bat, the Lions posted a solid total of 8/146 from its allotted 50 overs.

Tye Hourigan proved the cornerstone of the Centrals innings, scoring an unbeaten 56 from 87 deliveries.

Opener Wayne Henry (22) also impressed, while Corey Pollard (16), Mark Rawson (13) and Andrew Slimmon (12 from 82 deliveries) also contributed to the cause.

The irrepressible Steve Warr took 3/40 from his 10 overs.

Churchill’s reply never really got going and they were bowled out inside 41 overs for 104.

Brendan Mason top-scored with 24, opener Ryan Wilk hit 19 and Ryan Harvey made 15.

South African Reghard Hefer produced his best spell since joining the Lions, taking 3/19 from his 8.4 overs.

Lachlan Patterson also impressed with 3/27 including the key wicket of Mason.

MIRBOO North dished out a 107-run hiding to Traralgon West at Jack Canavan Oval.

The Tigers set the tone with the willow after being sent in by the Eagles, posted a formidable total of 9-208 from its 50 overs.

Jesse Giardina starred, scoring a sublime 69 from 70 deliveries, following on from the earlier good work of new recruit Zach Hollis and Hudson Kerr.

Hollis, who joined the Tigers from Gold Coast outfit Runaway Bay, opened the batting and scored an eye-catching 41, featuring four fours and one six.

Kerr scored a determined 29, spending 111 minutes at the crease, with Hayden Barnes (21) and Joel Piasente (15) scoring some useful late runs.

Ben Edebohls took 3/33 in his first top-flight appearance of the season, while Adam Thow (2/33) and Tim Fitch (2/46) claimed multiple wickets.

Traralgon West offered little resistance in the chase, skittled for 101.

Only Brenton Howe (24) and Rob Wilkie (20) got going among the recognised batsmen, while Salman Rasool’s unbeaten 12 lifted the Eagles to triple figures.

Kerr completed a good match to take 3/30 with Luke Corry (2/15) bowling well.

ROUND 6

CHURCHILL and Traralgon West will be aiming for a return to the winners list when they meet at George Cain Oval.

Morwell and Trafalgar face off at Morwell Recreation Reserve.

Raiders will host Jeeralang-Boolarra at Yinnar.

Centrals make the trek to John Black Oval to face a CATS side on the rebound.

Moe and Latrobe will square-off at Ted Summerton Reserve.

Mirboo North has the bye.

Downs the destroyer CRICKET TDCA

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

THE TDCA was the scene for one of the most remarkable individual performances ever seen in club cricket on Saturday.

Imperials all-rounder Jonathon Downs will never forget December 11, 2021 as the most nearly perfect game of his cricket career.

In the C Grade clash between Imps and Gormandale at Jack Maskrey Oval, Downs delivered a performance for the ages.

Strolling out to bat at No.6 with his team at 4/35, Downs smashed 16 fours and nine massive sixes in a superb knock of 169 before falling lbw to Alex Smith as Imperials piled on 8/288.

Then came the piece de resistance.

Downs took the new ball and returned the figures of 5/0 from six overs as Gormandale were bowled out for just seven in 11.5 overs.

It was a historic batting performance for all the wrong reasons by Gormandale, who now go into the TDCA record-books for the lowest score in C Grade, eclipsing Glengarry’s all out nine against Raiders in 2004/05.

But it was one more run than the all-time lowest score of six all out made by Glengarry A Grade against Toongabbie in 1968/69.

It was no surprise that Downs earned the nod as the TDCA’s player of the week award, which is named weekly on the association’s Facebook page.

His performance came on a big day for Imperials, who scored a four-wicket win against Gormandale in the A Grade clash at Stoddart Oval.

A disciplined bowling performance saw the Tigers fired out in 40 overs for 111, with Dylan Freitag (22) and Matt Hibbs (20) the only two batsmen to get off to starts.

Ross Williams (3/18) and Joel Randall (3/27) did much of the damage, while the inclusion of Mitch Bulmer also proved decisive for Imps as he collected 2/30 from eight overs.

Imperials had a few wobbles early in the chase as Freitag claimed the key wickets of Rob Morley and Dean Jones.

But Tuan Abdeen steadied the ship with an assured unbeaten 46 and found a willing ally in Williams, who completed a fine all-round performance with 27 not out.

Freitag and Luke Henderson each finished with figures of 2/22 for Gormandale, who find themselves in the unfamiliar position of being bottom of the ladder.

EX STUDENTS holds sway in first place after demolishing Yarram & District at Traralgon Recreation Reserve.

The Sharks certainly lived up to their nickname, devouring the Pelicans’ batting line-up inside 45 overs for a moderate score of 76.

Skipper Anthony Scott top-scored with 14 as only four Yarram players reached double figures against the miserly Students bowling line-up.

He may not have collected a wicket by Michael Warne typified this, conceding just nine runs from his 10 overs.

His good work opened the door at the other end where the other six bowlers used by the Sharks enjoyed success.

Skipper Lee Stockdale picked up 2/4 from his

three overs, while Mitchell Harris (2/11) and James Pryde (2/12) were the other multiple wickettakers.

Ex Students had few headaches in the chase, reaching the target in 21.1 overs for the loss of two wickets.

Harris top-scored with 30 not out and Stockdale made 21 before he was the first of Jarryd Swift’s two victims.

Swift finished with 2/13 from his nine overs, which included five maidens.

TOONGABBIE climbed to second spot after an pulsating six-run win against Glengarry at Roger Ries Oval.

The Rams were sent into bat and posted 8/169 with Jason Veneman’s 58 the clear highlight.

Veneman’s knock proved the cornerstone of the innings and the No.3 was ably supported by Michael Dunn (26) and an eye-catching 22 from James Chalmers.

Nat Freitag was the most successful of the Magpies bowlers with 3/24, with Sam Marks (2/29) and Frank Marks (2/33) also impressive.

Freitag got the Glengarry innings going with a stylish 34, but the Pies looked in trouble when they lost 3/15 to be 7/107.

Enter Cameron Graham, who together with Hamish Buck, lifted Glengarry’s hopes by putting on 40 for the eighth wicket.

But the return of Rams icon Tom Shippen to the attack would be decisive as he claimed Graham for 23.

Despite some late heroics from Busk (47), the Pies fell just short.

Rob Wheildon (2/17) and Shippen (2/22) claimed multiple wickets for Toongabbie.

Gippsland Goannas win a thriller

Gary Warren and John Ryan opened for Warrandyte, to the bowling of Anton and Bacchetti.

VETERANS CRICKET GIPPSLAND GOANNAS

THE Gippsland Goannas Over-60 Cricket team welcomed the Warrandyte Over 60s to the Glengarry Cricket Ground yesterday.

The weather was cool and very pleasant for cricket as the Goannas won the toss, and batted first.

Fred Debono and Ray Smith opened the innings and batted carefully, reaching 39 in the 10th over, when Debono was out for 13.

Murray Moore came in and made the first Golden Duck of the year.

Ian Gibson batted at four, and he and Smith took the score to 61, when Smith retired for 43 from 39 balls faced.

Barrie Nunn joined Gibson and they took the score to 80 at the 20 over drink break.

Nunn was out for 12 and Gibson retired for 21, when the score was 93, in the 25th over.

Peter Anton, 11, and Reno Metlikovec, 23 retired, joined forces taking the score to 4/126 at the 30 over point.

Jim Armstrong, 17, Rob Taylor, 20 retired, Ian

They were relieved after four overs each by Moore and Smith as the score raced to 61 from the first 10 overs.

Both batsmen retired and the scoring rate decreased substantially, with only 24 runs coming from the next 10 overs.

Moore took two wickets in his spell of eight overs, for 2/15.

Southall and Floyd came on and each took a wicket as the score reached 4/134 after 30 overs, with the match very much in the balance.

Shot: Fred De Bono drives for the Gippsland Goannas yesterday. photograph supplied Southall, Rob Bacchetti and Ray Floyd all kept the score mounting as the Goannas closed their innings at 6/179.

They were then replaced by Metlikovec and Debono, who also each took a wicket, but kept the scoring rate low.

The Warrandyte innings ended at 163 as the Goannas won a close and interesting game of cricket.

Melbourne earns Opals spot BASKETBALL

Worthy: A new award recognising the contribution of work to junior cricket in Gippsland has been named in honour of current Gippsland Cricket League Region 7 president George Munro. photograph supplied

Prestigious new award

CRICKET

A NEW award instigated by Gippsland Cricket which recognises elite level Gippsland junior cricket mentors has been named in honour of current Gippsland Cricket Region 7 president, George Munro.

Munro has been a powerful advocate for junior cricket at community and elite levels for more than 40 years.

As a coach, team manager, selector, and competition organiser, he began coaching in the Latrobe Valley in 1980/81 when he returned to Gippsland after six years in Melbourne.

Both the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League and Traralgon District Cricket Association have benefited from his expertise at senior and junior levels for over 25 years.

As the newly-created Region Board was finding its feet around 2000/01, Munro’s passion for junior cricket led him to the realisation that junior cricket needed to be more than just a dot point on a meeting agenda.

This led to him advocating for the creation of a region subcommittee - the Gippsland Junior Development Committee.

This committee began in 2003/04 and he was chairman from its inception through to 2014/15.

On joining the Victorian Country Cricket League board in 2011/12, his advocacy for junior cricket development has come to embrace all of country Victoria.

He has represented the VCCL at state-wide junior development forums and on committees and has over the years had the ear of many Cricket Victoria board members and senior administrators as he continues to advocate for the growth and resourcing of elite junior cricket in Gippsland and the rest of the state.

The initial 15 awardees were nominated from all current Gippsland associations (Traralgon District Cricket Association, Sale-Maffra CA, Bairnsdale CA, Leongatha District CA, Warragul District CA and Latrobe Valley District CL) and from Gippsland Cricket Region 7.

These people have had long-term, significant and varied input into junior programs, teams and players at Gippsland junior country week level, Gippsland zone representative teams (pre-2000) and Gippsland Youth Premier League teams since 2000.

Many players who went through these programs have gone on to have distinguished careers at Victorian Premier Cricket, state level, with a handful also enjoying international success.

The 15 inaugural awardees and the nominating body are: Graeme Anderson and Ken Bailey (nominated by Sale-Maffra); Bob Baldry, Leon Davies, Keith Henderson, Brendan O’Loughlin and Rod Pollock (Region 7); Charlie Pierrehumbert and Brian Sell (Warragul District); Max Semkin and Geoff Wyatt (Leongatha and District); Ian Rossborough and Kristen Webber (Latrobe Valley); David Little and Darryl Webber (Traralgon & District), and; Ray Alvin and Tim Cavanagh (Bairnsdale).

A number of these awards have been made posthumously. The region is looking at the possibility of presenting personal awards at some point during the junior country week competition in January 2022.

Nominations, which need to include a relevant cricket resumé, can be made at any time or details of the process can be ascertained from region secretary Peter Henderson by emailing vccl.region7@gmail.com.

TRARALGON export Jade Melbourne has been named in the Australian Opals squad for the FIBA Women’s World Cup. Melbourne, 19, made a great impression during her debut at the Asia Cup earlier this year, and featured in a 24-player line-up named less than 300 days out from the event in Sydney.

The dynamic guard is the youngest player to be named in the squad and said she was excited by the prospect of playing in a World Cup on home soil.

“I’m excited to be named in a squad with such exceptional talented players, I have no expectations other than to give it everything and hopefully gain a spot in Sydney,” she said.

The squad features a blend of players who represented Australia at the Tokyo Olympics and the line-up which claimed the bronze medal at the Asia Cup in September.

Opals coach Sandy Brondello is looking forward to getting the squad together for the short runway into September 2022.

“I am really excited about the talent we have in Australian Basketball and the squad that we as coaches have put together for 2022 is a great mix of experience and youth,” Brondello said.

“I was particularly excited by some of the performances from the younger players in the Asia Cup post the Olympics who were given a taste of international basketball and there will be

“I remember like yesterday how special it was to play in a World Cup on home soil. We look forward to having the same support as we had in 1994 to help us get back on the podium.”

The squad also features Traralgon-born Jenna O’Hea, along with other household names such as

Marianna Tolo, Ezi Magbegor and Sara Blicavs.

But there was no place in the squad for Liz Cambage, who pulled out of Australia’s Olympic campaign.

The star centre could be an inclusion closer towards the tournament with Brondello confirming the squad will remain fluid and can be added to as athlete’s performances are assessed in various professional leagues over the coming months.

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By BARRY HIGGINS

THE Harriers enjoyed near perfect running and walking conditions on Thursday, December 9 as they started from the Traralgon Croquet Club precinct and meandered through the Ellavale Estate before running down Melrossa Road and finishing back in McNairn Road.

Despite a number of members tapering off in readiness for the Melbourne Marathon on Sunday the finishing order was similar to previous weeks.

First woman finisher was new member Zoe Kirkman, despite being more familiar with running the trails and canyons around Alice Springs.

Zoe shaded Liz Kenney by a mere nine seconds, despite Liz reserving some energy for the Melbourne Marathon, with Kate Mayer third

A triple treat for Team Templeton

HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

A WINNING treble made December 5, 2021 a date to remember for Paul and Tracey Templeton.

The Moe training partnership enjoyed a landmark day as High Done, Commanding Witness and Joltin’ Joe proved successful.

High Done and Commanding Witness landed success at Bairnsdale, while Joltin’ Joe completed a bumper afternoon by saluting at Werribee.

“It’s been a good day, you don’t get them very often, so we’ll enjoy it,” Paul Templeton told Racing. com after Joltin’ Joe’s win.

“Our boys took the others to Bairnsdale, they’ve had a great day and we’ve just topped it off.

“There’s 20 (in the stable) at the moment, we pre-train a lot. We’ve got 10 of our own and it’s been a great day.”

Joltin’ Joe continues to show he is the stable’s most exciting talent, producing a scintillating late burst to win the $35,000 Global Turf Benchmark 64 Handicap (1100m).

The four-year-old son of Stryker took his career record to four wins from 22 starts following a smart ride from Jason Maskiell to nose out El Salto.

Joltin’ Joe landed some good bets, backed in from $31 into $19.

Earlier, High Done ($7) scored an impressive all-the-way win in the Dyson Group Rating 58 Handicap (1600m).

Arron Lynch took the son of High Chaparral straight to the front and he never looked back, packing too much class to comfortably hold off favourite Sarnia by 2 ¼ lengths.

Commanding Witness ($12) staved off Damselfly’s Kept by a narrow margin in the Four N Twenty Rating 58 Handicap (1200m).

Ridden by apprentice Thomas Stockdale, Commanding Witness continued his Bairnsdale love affair, making it back-to-back wins at the East Gippsland venue.

The great run for Team Templeton continued on Saturday as Joltin’ Joe ran an outstanding second at Flemington.

Ridden by Jason Maskiell, Joltin’ Joe belied his $51 starting price to charge home for a runner-up placing, beaten a length by Pioneer River in the $130,000 Darren Gauci Handicap (1200m).

HORSE racing in Gippsland this week is headlined by the Ian Grant’s Caravans Christmas Party Raceday at Moe on Friday.

With a forecast of 28 degrees, it promises to be a great day to catch the racing action.

Gates open from 12pm.

New league board is elected FOOTBALL

GIPPSLAND League have formally elected the Board of Management that will take on the responsibility of governing the organisation for 2022 and beyond.

At the annual general meeting on Monday, December 6, the member clubs ratified the earlier results from a special general meeting held in September where eight candidates were voted into a sub-committee that would assume the duties of the Board of Management after the expiration of the AFL Gippsland service agreement.

Former Wonthaggi Power president and Bass Coast Mayor Brett Tessari was elected

unanimously to assume to role of chair of the Gippsland League.

Tessari will be joined by former Traralgon president Andrew Livingstone, who was also unanimously voted into the vice-chair position.

Six general members were elected including Jodie Galea, Shane Paynter, Dean Benson, Stuart Dalton, Ian Dougherty and Duane Rek. “It’s an exciting time for the League and the new board members to now be formally elected and begin the task of governing the Gippsland League,” Tessari said.

“The League is in a strong off field position and the clubs are keen to engage and work with the

new board to take the League to the next level.”

The newly elected board has been working behind the scenes to get up to date with operations of the league the since their elections at the special general meeting.

The group has met multiple times and been working with AFL Gippsland to transition over to an independent administration structure that will be formed for 2022.

AFL Gippsland transitioned the governance from November 1 and the board has been operating since that date in all decision making for the league and will now formally be in charge of the governance and administration for the Gippsland League moving forward.

Windus and Brick race to rally win MOTORSPORT

By JOSH FARRELL

THE Gippsland Rally has been run and won with competitors from across the country competing in the stages just outside of Heyfield.

The first stage started in the forest close to Cowwarr Weir and travelled up Stoney Creek Road to Murderers Hill.

The teams then refuelled their cars at Murderers Hill and started the next two stages travelling down Black Range Road to Chesterfield Road.

Adam Wright and Eli Evans finished the first heat on top of the standings in their Mini Cooper more than one point ahead of their closest competitor.

“Adam’s doing really well, it’s our first event together and it’s been a lot of fun,” Evans said.

“The Mini Cooper AP4 is going well, it’s well suited to these roads.

“They’re quite ‘switch back’ stages that require a really balanced car and I think we’ve got that well sorted,” he said.

Heat One, and some tried harder to gain higher positions.

Darren Windus and Joe Brick overcame issues in their first heat to dominate Heat Two and take out the overall win for the weekend.

“We persevered and made it through the heat and had a big crack in the afternoon stages and got from fourth to first,” Windus said.

“I had a great time, honestly the second heat was sensational, I couldn’t fault him (Darren), we didn’t think we’d win outright, so this is a bonus,” Brick said.

“The kilometres were crucial, the stages were excellent - It’s a great rally - It’ll be a successful Australian Rally Championship round (next year) I can guarantee it.

“The roads are awesome, we had an absolute ball.”

Local team Nick Seymour and Gordon Grant finished in the top 20 in the Wilmour Motors sponsored Ford Fiesta.
