Council gives the green light Attention on code delays to a reduction of Opal’s rates

By MICHELLE SLATER

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has agreed to grant Opal Australian Paper reduced rates for the next 10 years under a rebate agreement in recognition of the company’s economic contribution to the region.

Latrobe City will start negotiations with the Japanese-owned company to determine the reduction amount, which will be made publicly available.

Latrobe City councillors supported the rebate at council’s June meeting.

Cr Dale Harriman said the agreement was being used to secure the company’s services in the area as one of the municipality’s largest employers.

“Not only does it employ a lot of people directly, it employs a lot of people indirectly and also uses the services of a number of small businesses in the area, it’s vital for our economy,” Cr Harriman said.

“A number of businesses have been going through a rough patch lately, Australian Paper has been doing its bit and so have the workers out there in the last 10 years to make it viable.

“I think council must do its bit to look after that.”

Opal has had long standing rates reduction arrangements with Latrobe City, the most recent 10-year agreement had expired in June last year.

The new agreement must ensure that the first year of rebates is not less than $1,355,000 per annum plus annual increments.

Cr Graeme Middlemiss outlined the context of the rebates, stating the state government had set far lower rates for the region’s coal-fired-power stations than those being granted for the paper mill.

“This is a fair agreement between Latrobe City and what is now our largest industrial operation in the Valley, there are some concessions built into it because they are such a large employer,” Cr Middlemiss said.

“The amount they are paying per evaluation for this plant vastly exceeds what was initially put in place for the power industry, so I’m not inclined to criticise this agreement.”

The proposal had attracted three public

from Waste plant, which will diversity its business model.

Once established, Latrobe City expects the rebates will no longer be required.

LATROBE City Council is asking the state government to release a delayed timber industry code of practice, after an updated review was due in July last year.

Latrobe City councillor Dale Harriman raised the motion which was carried at council’s June meeting, in order to provide certainty for the timber industry.

“The timber industry plays a huge part in the local jobs environment, there are thousands of jobs tied up here in Latrobe City and all across Gippsland,” Cr Harriman said.

“It’s a vital industry in the area and a sustainable industry. The review is intended to remove any ambiguities and make the code clear and concise.”

Cr Harriman, who is also National Timber Council Association chairman, said the updated Code of Practice for Timber Production 2014 would provide the industry confidence to operate by.

He said the review would clarify standards and procedures, and provide clear guidelines as to where the timber industry could operate.

“A lack of this report is resulting in continued legal actions. This is debilitating both for our local industry and providing uncertainty in the industry,” he said.

Cr Harriman was referring to ongoing legal action taken by environment group Friends of Leadbeaters Possums against the state owned logging agency VicForests.

Cr Darren Howe backed the motion, stating the industry’s importance in the local area.

“The timber industry is one we can grow and develop into the future, timber is a recyclable product,” Cr Howe said.

“The more we can bring this along and get some certainty back in the industry, then the better off everyone will be.”

A Victorian government spokesperson said the state government was in the process of completing its review “to deliver a clearer operating environment for industry and the regulator”.

Stringbusters sensational IT was an incredibly sad time when Sue Bruerton of Jeeralang Junction was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia combined with Motor Neurone Disease (FTD/MND).

This disease is degenerative, has limited treatment options and with there being no known cure, a focus on quality of life and addressing the effects of the disease are what becomes most important.

After being told of Sue’s diagnosis, #TeamMNDforSue was formed by Tonya, Tanya, Joanne and Lorna to provide lots of extra support and entertainment to their good friend and loved family member.

They also aim to raise much needed funds for MND Victoria who provide amazing care and support as well as equipment free of charge to Victorians who are diagnosed and their families.

In true country spirit, the incredibly talented Strzelecki

Stringbusters dedicated their Wednesday, May 26 show at the Yinnar Hotel to #SupportingMNDforSue. A large raffle was held with prizes donated by locals and local businesses. An entertaining auction shocked the night with the bids gaining momentum quickly, understandably because the winner would receive a personal show by the Strzelecki Stringbusters, the winning bid of $1150 awarded Helen of Traralgon an excellent excuse to hold a party!

Proceeds from the door, raffle, auction and monetary donations from the local community totalled a whopping $3651.50.

Ms Bruerton was excited to see such a fantastic turnout.

“The generosity of everyone on the night was overwhelming” Ms Bruerton said.

Trevor Hornibrook (Yinnar Hotel Publican), Tanya Crawford (Sue’s friend), Kiana (Sue’s

cousin, 10 years old) and Mark Bruerton (Sue’s husband) plus a couple of other legends have put their hands up to undertake an ice challenge and sponsorships are flowing in.

The challenge is happening at around 3pm on Sunday, June 20 in Yinnar as part of #TeamMNDforSue’s fundraising event “Sunday Sippers for Sue”.

Information on upcoming fundraising events including how to purchase tickets can be found on the Facebook group “Supporting MND for Sue”.

TRARALGON FLOODS

Relief: Acting Premier James Merlino was in Traralgon yesterday to announce further financial support for flood victims. ` photograph tom gannon

Assistance now available for flood victims: Merlino

By TOM GANNON

ACTING Premier James Merlino visited Traralgon yesterday to announce further financial assistance for flood affected households.

The emergency re-establishment payments of up to $42,250 per family are immediately available for people with a primary residence that is uninhabitable for more than seven days because of the Victorian floods.

Applications for these payments can be made through emergency.vic.gov.au or by emailing emergencyhardshippayments@dffh.vic.gov.au.

The grants will provide support for emergency accommodation and repairs at flood affected homes.

“We want to get people back in their homes as quickly as possible,” Mr Merlino told media.

“It goes to a whole variety of things, whether it’s support for accommodation, major repairs at home, repairing damage or purchasing items that have been lost in the flood.”

The announcement follows existing hardship support that is available to address people’s immediate needs for food, water, accommodation and clothing.

“Over the last week we’ve had the immediate hardship assistance grants of up $2000 per family, around $586 per adult and $280 per child but now we need to go the next stage,” Mr Merlino said.

Mr Merlino also said further financial assistance would soon be available for affected businesses.

“There will be engagement with local council,

engagement with industry and engagement with individual businesses in terms of what damage they have sustained,” he said.

“These are really important steps because we want to make sure the community has got the support it needs to get out of this.”

Mr Merlino stressed that assistance would continue as flood-affected areas attempt to recover.

“My message to the valley is simple and clear, we are with you in this, we stand with you, we are going to work with you as you get back on your feet,” he said.

The Acting Premier warned of further flooding potentially continuing this week.

“We’re not over this yet, whilst the flooding is receding and we are moving very quickly into relief and recovery it’s not over yet and there may well be further rain later in the week,” he said.

Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp addressed outrage over the timing of emergency warnings as many businesses and residents said evacuation alerts came too late.

“There was a gap there, but when you think about from Tuesday through to the Thursday there were a lot of warnings given to the community,” he said.

“We will be sitting down and looking at not just what happened here, but across the state as a whole in relation to warnings.”

Car stuck in flood water

A MAN was sitting on the roof of his car after he drove his vehicle into flood water on Whittakers Road in Traralgon on Saturday afternoon.

Police and witnesses stated the man drove his Commodore sedan into flood water adjacent to Victory Park, and attempted a u-turn before the vehicle began floating and he got stuck.

A friend of the man turned up shortly afterwards and waded into the water to fish him out. The pair pushed the vehicle to the roadside before the friend towed him away in a sedan.

The incident follows a similar event in the same spot the previous day, in which a car was caught in flood water.

Warragul police leading senior constable Paula Fowler said it was “frustrating” that people were ignoring warnings about driving into flood water.

“With all the warnings out there for people to do the right thing, it’s so frustrating to see people do what they had done today,” she said.

STORM FURY

Action: SES crew laid sandbags in Walhalla.

Raging river: Storm damage washed away the roadside through Walhalla.

Severe damage in Walhalla following wild storm

By MICHELLE SLATER

WALHALLA was open to locals only after significant landslips had destabilised the main access roads into the mountain community last week.

Walhalla and Mountain Rivers Tourism Association president and town local Russell Wright said crews were assessing the damage in and around town.

“I heard lots of tumbling and crashing and the sound of the roaring river taking away roads, fences and trees,” Mr Wright said.

“When daylight broke, I saw extensive damage, so we began assessing what was urgent.”

Mr Wright said it took Erica SES crews an hour to cut their way into town due to the amount of fallen trees and debris, in what was usually a 15 min trip up the road.

Stringers Creek had risen and caused extensive damage to camping grounds and blocking the bridge in the north end of town, with sand bags in place to protect some lower lying properties.

He told The Express that the Long Tunnel Extended Gold Mine was closed due to landslips and deep mud around buildings,

which would need geotechnical assessments.

The Goldfields Railway was also closed with large trees and flooding over the tracks.

Mr Wright said underground powerlines had been exposed and were “hanging in the breeze” and “entire streetscapes and retaining walls were washed away”.

“A number of properties had their junction boxes ripped away and taken down stream.

There are significant electricity supply problems and this will not be an overnight fix,” he said.

“The main roads underneath where large trees fell are now undermined on the cliff edge.

“Repairs will not be easy, the challenge is

Walhalla is very technical as it’s so steep.”

Mr Wright said this was a further blow to the small tourist town, which had already taken a hit with COVID-imposed cancellations and bushfires.

He said he believed the town would remain closed while significant repairs were underway.

“This can’t happen immediately, it will take time, the clean up will require big, heavy machinery. It’s not a mop and bucket job,” he said.

“People are heartbroken and feeling defeated.”

Wet weather forces Yallourn to pause production at coal mine YALLOURN Power Station has paused production at its coal mine due to heavy rainfall and is running at a reduced capacity to help conserve coal.

Head of Yallourn Julian Turecek said coal production would resume at the mine when “it’s safe and appropriate to do so”.

Mr Turecek said EnergyAustralia had updated the Australian Energy Market Operator on the situation.

“We appreciate the community’s interest in our operations and commit to providing further updates as the situation evolves,” Mr Turecek said.

“At EnergyAustralia, safety is our highest priority. As a precaution, all people were asked to leave the mine and equipment has been removed.”

Meanwhile, Loy Yang remained unaffected with minimal impact to coal generation.

An AGL spokeswoman said the company activated its Incident Management Plan with flooding in Traralgon, and employees could access the site via a number of routes.

“AGL is working closely with emergency authorities and the local community to prioritise safety and ongoing operations through this weather event,” the spokeswoman said.

Locals band together to begin the recovery effort

By MICHELLE SLATER

FARMERS and heavy machinery operators banded together to clear roads in the ranges after residents were stuck on their properties without power, phones or access for days.

Boolarra, Budgeree and Yinnar South resembled a war zone, with roads blocked by thousands of fallen trees which had taken out power lines, some houses, shedding and major infrastructure.

Yinnar South locals Ben Dawson and Marc McKinlay were just some of the community members who began clearing roads the morning after the storms ripped through.

“It was like a jet engine blowing in my face, there were trees breaking all around me,” Mr Dawson said.

“I’ve experienced wind, but this was on the next level, it kept changing direction, it was swirling.”

Mr Dawson said the wind was so severe, it blew two newly-delivered 25,000 litre water tanks across his property.

He said Whitelaws Track was completely blocked-off with about 30 trees down in the space of 500 metres.

He spent the entire day with his neighbour clearing the roads with a chainsaw and excavator, while others were cutting trees from the opposite end of Whitelaws Track.

“There was no sign of emergency services, we

just assumed they were busy everywhere else and we have the machinery to do this,” he said.

Budgeree beef farmer Edgar Owen had joined other local farmers to clear Budgeree Road, stating his farm lost 200 year-old trees.

“When we cleared this farm 50 years ago, the dozer could not shift these trees, but this wind has done it in one go. It even blew my big old cypress out, and they usually don’t blow over,” he said.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in 60 years I’ve been here, not the magnitude like this.

It will take a month full time to put it into reasonable shape.”

Latrobe City contractors had begun working their way up Budgeree Road on Friday to remove more trees that had fallen days after the storm.

Logging contractor Anthony Maiden was hoping to retrieve his machinery parked at English Corner, in the mountains south of Budgeree to “send them out to where they are needed”.

Mr Maiden said he had crews working in Jeeralang North, but added it had taken him two days to get from Yarram to Traralgon, due to the amount of fallen trees.

“There are trees for miles. This work will continue for weeks or months. We have jobs we can’t even get to because of trees over the roads,” he said.

Busy: Latrobe City contractors were slowly making their way up Budgeree Road, clearing fallen trees along the way.

On the job: Budgeree beef farmer Edgar Owen lent a hand to clear access for locals.

Carnage: Budgeree Road looked like a war zone after the storm went through.

Storm leaves trail of damage and heartbreak

By MICHELLE SLATER

RESIDENTS in the ranges south of the Princes Freeway were stuck without power, mobile phones or internet for days after cyclonic-like winds tore up the district.

Many Yinnar South and Budgeree locals were isolated on their properties waiting for help due to blocked roads and driveways.

Budgeree resident Kelly van den Berg was still waiting for emergency services to help secure her roof two days after the storm.

Ms van den Berg said she was “terrified” when the winds hit and she heard tiles being ripped off her roof, with water dripping from the ceiling, through her light fittings and down her walls.

“I thought the wind would get under my roof and lift up the house. I still had my phone then, I called the SES but they couldn’t get to me,” she said.

“I’ve put up a tarp myself, but I can’t get anyone here to fix my roof, my priority is making my house watertight. I can see daylight through my chimney flue.”

Roads between Yinnar, Boolarra and Churchill were cordoned off by police due to flood waters and dangerous trees hanging over roads.

Damage: Volunteers were helping cut up fallen trees at Railway Park in Boolarra.

Inundated: Yinnar was cordoned off due to flood waters heading into town.

Some district schools including Churchill and Boolarra were closed, while some businesses remained shut due to road closures and power outages.

Yinnar general store owner Mark Peek said the town was busy on Thursday morning after the roads were opened with people flocking in for supplies such as generator fuel and food.

The Churchill resident said he could not get into Yinnar until Monash Way was cleared late on Friday morning, but surrounding roads remained inundated with water.

“There was no way into Yinnar until about 10am, we jumped in our four-wheel drive to see if we could get here, there was debris all over the road,” Mr Peek said.

“We had power here, but we were very lucky, some businesses couldn’t get any. We sold out of everything because no one could go anywhere, everyone had a story to tell.”

Boolarra resident Bruce Billingsley was helping to cut up fallen trees over Railway Park but said most of the town remained without power or phone.

“There’s basically no communications anywhere unless you get out of town, we hope to be connected on Sunday,” Mr Billingsley said.

“I can’t get to work so I’m now helping around town as much as I can.”

Date looms: The next stage of the demolition of the former Hazelwood Power Station boiler houses is scheduled to occur between Thursday and Saturday of this week. file photograph

Latest demolition ready to take place this week

A THIRD former Hazelwood Power Station boiler house is expected to be demolished in a controlled collapse later this week.

ENGIE is looking at a demolition window to take down Boiler House 2 between Thursday, June 17 and Saturday, June 19.

“The time will be subject to favourable wind and cloud cover conditions which will help mitigate dust and noise,” an ENGIE spokesman said.

“While controls have been implemented to reduce external noise emissions as much as possible, local residents are likely to hear a loud noise at the time of the demolition for a few seconds.

“This is unavoidable, given the size of the structure, and the nature and placement of the explosive charges necessary to safely affect a controlled collapse.”

The demolition means only one boiler house from the former power station will be left on the skyline, following the collapse of Boiler House 4 late last year and Boiler House 3 in April.

The last boiler house is planned to come down later this year.

ENGIE will update the community tomorrow

and will undertake a letterbox drop in the surrounding area.

A MAN accused of assaulting and robbing a Trafalgar priest has been remanded in custody.

Thomas Vandersluys, 31, of no fixed address, made no application for bail during a hearing at Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court on June 3.

He was charged with more than 20 offences including aggravated burglary, burglary, theft, assault, theft of a car, possessing a drug of dependence and committing an indictable offence while on bail.

St John’s Catholic Church priest Fr Bernie Krotwaar, 64, was making his breakfast on June 1 when the accused allegedly smashed a window, broke into his home and assaulted him before stealing his car.

Police described it as a “very violent aggravated burglary and assault.”

Sale Diocese Bishop Greg Bennet said the traumatic incident had left Fr Krotwaar understandably shaken.

“Fr Bernie Krotwaar is very grateful for the support he has received from members of his local parish community, family, friends, and the clergy of the Diocese of Sale.

“He has taken a period of respite and rest and continues to recover. Fr Bernie and the diocese are very grateful for the wonderful support of Victoria Police and those who have assisted him in these days,” the Bishop said.

Baw Baw CIU detectives arrested the accused

in Traralgon on June 1. Detectives charged Mr Vandersluys with a string of offences relating to a number of burglaries in Warragul before the aggravated burglary in Trafalgar.

It is alleged he broke into the presbytery, adjacent to the Waterloo Road church, at about 6.30am.

Detective acting sergeant Ashley Bell said the man allegedly assaulted Fr Krotwaar and demanded cash and the keys to his car, before stealing his Nissan.

Fr Krotwaar suffered minor injuries. He was admitted to hospital traumatised by the incident.

The aggravated burglary followed several burglaries in Warragul which he also has been charged with.

Detectives allege Mr Vandersluys stole computers from Marist Sion College in Burke Street and from an administration building at West Gippsland Hospital in Landsborough Road.

He allegedly also smashed a window to the Nielsen Funerals chapel and broke into the building causing damage and stealing an Ipad.

He was also charged with stealing a car from Fenton Street, Warragul.

The priest’s car was found dumped at Lake Narracan on the morning of Monday, June 7.

The vehicle had been damaged and vandalised.

Mr Vandersluys was remanded to reappear at court on July 2.

A 700-metre exclusion zone will be set up on the day of the demolition, and Brodribb Road between Nadenbouschs Road and Cemetery Avenue will be closed.

The Princes Freeway will be slowed to 60 kilometres per hour and the Strzelecki Highway will be reduced to 80 kilometres per hour.

Traffic controls will be in place to stop vehicles from parking on the roadside while demolition is underway The ENGIE spokesman said contractors had already removed hazardous material, and “the works are not expected to give rise to any airborne asbestos outside the immediate works zone”.

“Asbestos air monitors will be set up at the site boundary locations and surrounding the fell zone,” he said.

Man accused of priest assault is now remanded

Drug Action team for the Latrobe Valley is established

Offering a helping hand

By ZAC STANDISH

THE Latrobe Central Country Women’s Association (CWA) group has teamed up with local K-Mart stores to launch a new initiative to help those affected by one of the region’s most pressing issues.

Recent statistics from the Crime Statistics Agency revealed that the Latrobe City area ranks third for domestic violence incidents in Victoria, with 2447 cases reported over the past year putting the municipality 135 per cent above the state average.

As a result, the CWA are releasing a Refuge Starter Kit of everyday essentials to assist those transitioning from a dangerous situation.

Latrobe Central CWA group secretary Sam Soutar explained the motivation behind this campaign.

“The CWA has got a theme for this year which is Safe Homes for Everyone, and part of that is we are doing the domestic violence refuge kit,” Ms Soutar said.

“The main reason (we wanted to do this) is that the Latrobe Valley has such a high rate of domestic violence so that was why we wanted to launch it

given that little bit of help just makes things so much easier.”

With Latrobe City currently one of the worst regions for family violence in Australia, Cr Gibson stressed the importance of shedding light on what is sadly a growing issue.

“It is hugely import, people who are in a situation that involves violence they feel alone and completely beaten by the world, so to have people both understanding and willing to help them it has a big impact on someone’s mental health,” she said.

“It is about waking people up to the fact that it (family violence) is there, and the spotlight is purely on the CWA and this initiative because it is sadly something that is very needed (in our community).”

Ms Soutar explained how people can get involved in the cause.

“On the 19th and 20th of June we are going to be set up at the K-Mart Moe and Traralgon stores and have a display of all the items people can donate and handing out the brochure to shoppers and asking them to donate whatever they can,” she said.

CarbonNet is working towards establishing a commercial scale CCS network in Gippsland, it will introduce new industries to the Latrobe Valley and enable significant CO2 emission reductions.

The project will provide a CO2 transport and storage solution for the Japanese-led Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Project in the Latrobe Valley, should it be commercialised.

This year CarbonNet is starting an Environmental Effects Statement process, identifying a preferred pipeline route, the engineering design process and legislative approvals.

here, so we have used the Latrobe Central CWA group (who have 13 local branches) to ensure the message gets spread through the whole region.”

The CWA Refuge Starter Kit offers a host of what she describes as “household necessities” for family violence victims.

“There is everything needed for a start-up kitchen, laundry and a bathroom, I think the cheapest thing on the list is $1.50 ranging all the way up to $24,” she said.

“It fits out a house for someone that is starting fresh, it is not everything that they need but it is enough to get them started in their own new environment.”

Latrobe City Mayor Sharon Gibson said these kits will go a long way to providing sufferers with the support they need.

“Something like this can make all the difference in the world, because people will feel like they are not alone and they have something which is really important when you are coming out of domestic violence,” Cr Gibson said.

“It is not a lot, but it is a lot, hats off to the CWA for doing this in the first place and recognising the need, because it is a huge need and to just be

A LOCAL Drug Action Team is being established in the Latrobe Valley to prevent and minimise alcohol and other drug-related harm in the community.

The LDAT will tackle concerns that Latrobe Valley residents are at a higher risk of long-term harm from alcohol.

The program is being run by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation and federal government to target and provide prevention services, education and information to young people from 16 to 25.

There are 65 Local Drug Action Teams in Victoria, and 280 teams nationally.

The program supports local organisations to build on, or extend, partnerships to deliver evidence-based harm prevention activities tailored to community needs.

The LDAT will work with the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to develop a community action plan and carry out harm prevention activities.

Primary prevention initiatives include peer support, mentoring, education in schools, support for young people and resources to reduce alcohol harms in pregnancy.

Local Drug Action Teams receive an initial $10,000 to develop these action plans and can apply for further funding to deliver the activities.

Alcohol and Drug Foundation chief executive officer Erin Lalor said a high number of community partnerships had applied to join the Local Drug Action Team Program.

“Strong demand from communities across Australia has meant the number of Local Drug Action Teams is higher than originally planned, giving us the opportunity to now work with 280 passionate community partnerships,” Dr Lalor said.

“More than 1300 organisations are now part of Australia’s extensive Local Drug Action Team Program network.

“This shows how determined community organisations are about building healthier and more connected communities.”

Dr Lalor said the tailored community-led initiatives were vital to prevent and minimise harms caused by alcohol and other drugs.

“The Local Drug Action Team Program recognises that every community is unique and there’s no one-size fits all solution to addressing alcohol and other drug issues,” Dr Lalor said.

The Local Drug Action Team Program is part of the $450 million federal government investment under the National Ice Action Strategy.

PROSTATE CANCER -

THE IMPACT

Men often neglect symptoms re elating to their health and mental health.

Statistics clearly show that men often ign nore their own health issues for far too long before eventually seeking medical advice.

The reality is no matter who you are or what you do, men and boys of all ages will experience some fo orm of health related challen nges in their lifetime.

Whether it be physical or mental health I encourage all males to seek medical advice from a qualified d health professional about any health problems they mig ght be experiencing.

“By 2040 we predict there will be 372,000 men living with or beyond prostate cancer in Australia, representing a 60 per cent increase from 230,000 today and the greatest number of men or women diagnosed with any single cancer.”

Professor Jeff Dunn AO, CEO, Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia

“ Our underperformance on men’s health is hurting our women and children as much as it is harming our lads and blokes. We need to do more to inspire the nation’s fathers and sons to step up, take action, support one another, and play as a team.”

Myopia, also known as ‘short-sightedness,’ is rapidly becoming a serious public health concern.

Myopia causes vision difficulties in the distance; this is due to an elongated eyeball length that results in light focusing before the retina.

Kids with myopia will have trouble seeing the board at school.

Aside from vision difficulties, there are also health implications for myopic patients, due to their elongated eyeball length.

Myopic patients are at risk of developing ocular diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts.

Patients with higher myopia levels are at a greater risk.

COVID-19 lockdowns have resulted in less time spent outdoors and more time in front of devices.

At Kay Street Eyecare, they have noticed an increase in kids reporting vision difficulties over the last 12 months.

For kids, myopia tends to continue to worsen each year. With increasing public health concerns, myopia control options are now available to slow progression.

MiyoSmart Lenses are a new technology for managing myopia in children.

It has been proven to reduce the progression of myopia by up to 60%.

MiyoSmart lenses are only available to accredited independent optometrists.

Kay Street Eyecare is pleased to be able to offer this lens option to their patients.

It is important for all children to have regular vision checks from an early age, and certainly during school years so that issues can be found and treated early.

Eye checks are bulk billed and a visit to the optometrist will quickly detect a problem and be treated accordingly.

MEN IN TRARALGON ARE ENCOURAGED TO GET THEIR EYES CHECKED Local Optometrist Josie Mills is encouraging all men in the Traralgon area to visit Specsavers for an eye health test this Men’s Health Week (June 14 – 20).

New research from Specsavers has revealed that 43% of men, the equivalent to 15,389 males in the Traralgon area, will wait until they experience a health issue before booking a check-up, rather than engage in regular appointments, closing the window for early detection on eye conditions.

“Unfortunately, lots of men still have this ‘she’ll be right’ attitude or just don’t get around to looking after themselves, even when they’re experiencing a problem,” Josie said.

“We see it time and time again. Most eye conditions can be easily managed or treated especially if it’s picked up early, it’s when things are left that it can get more complicated.”

The research also discovered that men wait an average of two weeks after experiencing an eye injury or symptom before booking an appointment with a healthcare professional.

“We’re talking about our eyes here and we only have one set of them, so we need to remember to

look after them, whether that’s wearing protective eye gear while doing home maintenance projects or whether it’s seeing an optometrist when we have a problem,” Josie continues.

One in five men in Victoria, say that they have a family history of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy, confirming the importance of regular check-ups to avoid the risk of severe complications.

“Our message to all men is to look after your health and make sure these appointments are being made regularly,” Josie concludes.

Specsavers includes an advanced OCT 3D eye scan as part of every eye test – hospital-grade technology that allows optometrists to detect eye conditions earlier.

Early detection of most eye conditions can prevent vision loss and blindness for most people.

It’s advisable to have an eye test every two years.

Specsavers Traralgon is open six days a week.

TRARALGON FLOODS

Hundreds evacuated from homes as floods power

By GREGOR MACTAGGART, ZAC STANDISH AND TOM GANNON

MORE than 200 homes in Traralgon were evacuated on Thursday as floods hit the Latrobe Valley’s largest town.

The Traralgon Creek peaked at 5.76 metres around 9am on Thursday, far exceeding the major flood level of 4.80m metres.

The floods arrived after a heavy storm lashed the Latrobe Valley region during Wednesday night and the early hours of Thursday morning.

Rainfall totals of 255mm were recorded across the Traralgon catchment.

An evacuate now warning was issued by Vic Emergency at 10.30am on Thursday for people who lived, worked or were visiting the Traralgon Creek area.

Properties in George Street, Berry Street, Milton Court, Tennyson Street, Whittakers Road, Willow Court, Moonabel Court, Booth Street and Jackson Street were inundated by flood waters.

Roads such as Franklin Street, Traralgon Creek Road, Shakespeare Street, George Street, Berry Street, Campbell Street, Gwalia Street, Davidson Street, Howitt Street, Paul Street, Peterkin Street and Campbell Street were impacted by floods.

More than 20 people had to be rescued from homes isolated by flood waters, including a two-week old baby, while the Police Airwing unit was also called into action.

The Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium was turned into a relief centre on Thursday, but closed later that day as residents affected returned home to survey the damage or stayed with family and friends.

Local resident Gordon Bland described the scene as ‘shocking.’

“I live in Oxford Place and I built a new house there six years ago,” he said.

“This is the first time I’ve seen water come through the culverts over there.

“I knew this was going to happen one day, I’ve been waiting for it to come through.

“It’s shocking … it’s the worst thing that could happen.”

Traralgon Centre Plaza was heavily hit by flood waters, with the underground car park and escalator sustaining damage.

The new Mantra Hotel underground car park was another casualty, with guests evacuated in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Traffic was backed up on the Princes Highway for more than two hours as notable landmarks

such as Victory Park and the Traralgon Showgrounds resembled lakes.

Some other motorists were not so fortunate, forced to leave their vehicles as flood waters rose.

Traralgon’s Mohammad Razak was on Grey Street when he had to escape his Mazda.

“I was just getting a coffee from McDonalds and the water wasn’t that heavy at the time, there was no flooding and no note that you can’t drive through, the road was open,” he said.

“So I drove through and the water just flooded too much, my car is a petrol car so I couldn’t press too hard.

“I just called the police and they told me to get out of the car and wait somewhere safe.

“It looks pretty bad and the front bumper fell off from the gush of the water I think.”

The soundshell, where artists such as Traralgon’s own Jack Jones performed just months ago, was submerged by water.

Power outages and issues with the phone network were reported, not just in the Traralgon district, but across the wider Latrobe Valley region.

SES crews continue to be busy clearing the debris.

Responding to 382 call outs in 12 hours

Sign says it all: The Traralgon Centre Plaza car park was closed after being flooded.

across Gippsland, Eastern region SES manager Anthony McLean said the ominous forecast had crews prepared for the worst.

“From our perspective it has been predicted, the Bureau of Meteorology has given us a fairly clear indication of what rainfall was going to take place, so last night and this morning we experienced that (and were ready for it),” Mr McLean said.

“We had between 150 and 250 millimetres of rain across the region and specific locations got upwards of 200 millimetres and that is where we saw the flooding of Traralgon Creek and through the streets of Traralgon as well.”

Mr McLean gave a timeline of the events and an outline of the different rescues SES volunteers had to perform.

“Overnight (Thursday) we experienced upwards of 10 millimetres of rain per-hour, so then we started to feel the impact of that early morning from around 6am onwards but it has been busy all night as well.”

“We have had to deal with a number of different things across the region, including the flooding of people’s houses but also people driving into flood water and needing assistance, trees down across roads into houses and also landslides is something that has been occurring, these are all things that are typical for this type of event and events we are ready for.”

In order to help manage the floods, Mr McLean said they received significant assistance from SES units across Victoria and other emergency service agencies.

“We did have other units from within metropolitan Melbourne but also across the north-eastern and north-western parts of the state as well,” he said “What I have been hearing from our volunteers and other agencies is that people are very thankful for being helped, it is not just an SES effort we received a lot of help in assisting the community.”

Mr McLean had nothing but praise for the work of SES volunteers as they dealt with the once in a decade crisis.

“Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our agency but also the heart and soul of our community, so we would be in a lot of trouble without them, they are just wonderful people.”

With clear skies through Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, the water level dropped to the extent that the clean-up for residents and businesses affected by the floods could begin.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester expressed his sympathy for the many locals who experienced property and asset losses.

“It will be a significant clean-up effort to restore homes, fences and other property losses over the coming weeks and months,” he said.

“When things get tough in Gippsland we have shown time and again how we rally together.

It’s our great community spirit that sees us through.”

Telstra on Friday announced an assistance package for its residential and small business customers in Traralgon who lost services due to flooding.

“We know a number of our customers in Traralgon are displaced or are dealing with flooding in their homes, and we understand that now it is more important than ever to be able to reach out to friends and family,” regional general manager Loretta Willaton said.

Cleaning up: Food Co on Franklin owner Rod Murphy was up early on Friday morning to pressure spray the mud around his business. worse, so it wasn’t too bad but it’s the mud that has a lasting effect.”

Although the café planned to reopen on Friday, Mr Murphy said he doubted whether people would be able to travel there.

“We’re trading as usual today but a lot of people won’t come out because they aren’t sure what roads are open or not,” he said.

Mr Murphy urged the community to support traders after a disruptive few weeks.

“Hopefully the community gets around traders as much as they can because it’s a bit of a hard week with the lockdowns and now this,” he said.

Banged up: Mohammad Razak’s Mazda, which lost its front bumper bar in the floods on Thursday.

AS the water levels declined and flooding started to subside in the early hours of Friday morning, clean up began in some of Traralgon’s worst affected areas.

Council trucks and heavy machinery were in abundance along Davidson Street, clearing masses of debris that the raging flood waters had left behind.

A thick layer of mud covered most of the road, footpath and had even managed to snake up the walls of nearby cafes and homes.

Among those doing their best to get things back normal was owner of Food Co on Franklin Rod Murphy who had been hard at work pressure spraying mud from the ground around his café.

Mr Murphy said his business managed to survive the floods but he had heard that others weren’t as lucky.

“We’re very lucky we didn’t actually get water inside the café but we are one of the lucky ones,” he said.

“Unfortunately there were a lot that didn’t survive it but it has subsided which is good, but it’s now just about the clean-up afterwards.”

At the flood’s peak, Mr Murphy told The Express the only thing he could do was try not to think about the danger to his business and was left to helplessly watch the water rise through CCTV cameras.

“I watched it on the camera coming in but there was nothing more I could do,” he said.

“My thoughts yesterday were that I didn’t want to have to think at all, I sort of tuned out and did nothing really, I couldn’t think about it.”

However, Mr Murphy said he was relieved to see there had been no interior damage to the café but expected the mud to be difficult to clean.

“I was relieved this morning when I turned up to see the shop hadn’t gotten any water inside but it’s going to be a couple of days cleaning up the mess that’s all,” he said.

TRUE GRIT

SBS, 9.30pm

SUNDAY

HUNGER

ABC TV, 9.25pm

The history of Northern Ireland can be shocking to revisit in earnest. In 1981, a number of Irish prisoners went on a hunger strike in protest at the British Government’s refusal to classify them as political prisoners. Steve McQueen depicts the final six weeks in the life of Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender, left), the first of 10 hunger strikers to die that year. An incredibly bleak piece of work – it is more a film about human suffering than political propaganda. Difficult but essential viewing.

SUNDAY

AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR

NINE, 7pm

A mammoth task is set for this season of Australian Ninja Warrior. How do you eclipse season four when videographer-turned-muscleman-extraordinaire Ben Polson was finally the first contestant to conquer the near-impossible obstacle course, Mount Midoriyama, after seasons of nail-biting drama, pocketing the jackpot of $400,000? Well, recruiting Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios, who is famed for being unable to bite his tongue, to join hosts Shane Crawford, Ben Fordham (right) and Rebecca Maddern could be the ticket to success. On top of that, there are 26 new courses, including the intriguing ‘Dragon Back’ and ominous ‘Underwater Escape’. But, let’s face it: fans love this adrenaline-packed show any way it comes.

FRIDAY

MASTERMIND D AUSTRALIA

SBS, 7.30pm

When SBS premiered Mastermind M Australia in 2019, it seemed like a gamble. Who wanted to o watch a quiz show inspired by the t Gestapo’s interrogation methods?? But what sounded dark and sombre turned out to be a riveting show, with just the right measure of intensity and levity. Most M of all, the incredible and detailed knowledge displayed by the contesstants has been enthralling, qu uickly catapulting the show to o one of the most watched on the network.

Now, with Marc Fennell having found his groove in the hosting chair, wee come to season three’s nail-biting final. Four remaining contenders put their skills to the test: who will be the next Australian Mastermind?

Jeff Bridges (below) reunites with Big Lebowski filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen as he takes on the role of Rooster Cogburn in this gritty western. Drawing inspiration from Charles Portis’ original novel rather than the 1969 classic that earned John Wayne an Oscar, the Coens return the focus to Mattie Ross (Hailee ( d Steinfeld), a vengeful 14-year-old girl who enlists the help of the ageing lawman to track down her father’s killer (Josh on Brolin). Matt Damo de saddles up alongsid the pair as a Texas ranger also hunting down the murderer.

The definitive adaptation off the novel that firmlyy stakes its he place in th American Western hall h of fame.

TRARALGON FLOODS

Big wet delivers a hammer blow for Men’s Shed

By TOM GANNON

TRARALGON Men’s Shed has suffered a massive blow as flood waters decimated machinery and furniture ready to be transported to parts of East Gippsland which were destroyed by the 2019 bushfires.

The Men’s Shed on Howitt Street was less than a day away from sending an order of around 20 picnic tables and 30 benches to bushfire-ravaged Sarsfield when floods surged through the building early Thursday morning.

The delivery of the furniture had already been delayed because of COVID-19 restrictions last year.

Men’s Shed secretary-treasurer Lyn Franssen said the flood water had ruined several projects and machinery.

“We had a huge order up to Sarsfield, a whole stack of benches and picnic tables and all sorts of things, it’s been tied up all ready to go twice and had to be cancelled twice now,” she said.

“It’s gone through about a metre deep through the whole place.

“It’s tipped over fridges and all the items we’ve made for people, machinery has been moved and covered in mud and water.”

According to Ms Franssen, the flood water damage to the machinery could cost up to $15,000 to replace or repair.

They’re about $5000 each for those machines so it’s about $15000,” she said.

“All of the three phase platers, thicknessers and table saws will need to be assessed but they’re obviously now in a metre high of water so an electrician will tell us whether they can be salvaged or if the machines are no good.”

Ms Franssen said she was disappointed emergency warnings had not been made in time.

“I’m pretty disappointed actually because we didn’t get any warning until 8am to go and put things high, by then our guys had been here at

7:30am and couldn’t get in because the place was flooded already,” she said.

Already hurt by lockdowns, Ms Franssen said

the damage would put the not-for-profit group in financial doubt.

“It’s just going to slow us down, we can’t make any money when we aren’t functioning because we’re a not-for-profit and we’ve got to pay for all our own bills,” she said.

Despite being disappointed, Ms Franssen said the team should recover.

“It’s not much fun but the guys will all pull together and try and fix it the best we can but depending on whether our machines are stuffed

or not will depend on what we can actually do,” she said.

Traralgon Men’s Shed workers Pietr Angelo and Allen Armstrong also voiced their disappointment with the situation.

“I can’t do anything, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place,” Mr Angelo said.

“On top of the lockdowns we’ve been through this year and last year, we’ve just got back to it and now we’ve got to face this sort of flooding,” Mr Armstrong said.

Floods leave their mark on Traralgon Centre Plaza

By ZAC STANDISH

RETAILERS in the Traralgon Centre Plaza (TCP) suffered a setback as flood waters engulfed its entire underwater car park, large portions of the outdoor car park and forced many to lose a day of important trading.

As they battled with the rapidly changing situation, the power of the community shone through as owners banded together to help those at the highest risk.

Situated on the lowest level of the plaza, Valentina Flowers owner Hailey Di Cecco found herself faced with a tough decision to move all of her stock out of the shop and into a vacant lot on the safety of the centre’s ground floor.

“I came into work, which was a bit of a trouble in itself getting here, but I am very glad I did, and I just saw the water level around the store rising so I called whoever I could to help,” Ms Di Cecco said.

“We were able to get all the stock out and obviously it is not just the flowers, there is the fridges and all that included in the business so we were busy transporting all of that and managed to get most things out which was great.

“It was just amazing how quickly the water came in through the store and we got out in the nick of time.”

She said making the decision to move upstairs saved her from losing her entire display of flowers, and had nothing but praise for the support of the TCP community.

“Really all we lost was a day’s trade and if that is all it is then that is awesome, I am just really fortunate we were able to think through all of

amazing and gives you a sense of wow, people really do care.

“It makes you proud to be from a town like Traralgon.”

The centre is currently reeling from the effects of the flood, with TCP marketing manager Adele Nardino describing the current state of the damage.

“60 per cent of our car parking is undercover so that is obviously a bit of an inconvenience (for shoppers), but we are doing the best that we can to work with our local plumbers, electricians and everyone else to ensure the clean-up is conducted as quickly possible,” Ms Nardino said.

“We can’t get into the carpark so we currently don’t have a clear idea of the specific damages but we know there is damage to our store rooms and maintenance equipment, but to the extent we don’t know until we are actually able to get in there.”

She gave a timeline of the events and how quickly water engulfed the lower levels of the centre.

“It was definitely worse than the 2013 floods, the water first started coming into the centre at around 7am and by 9.30am the undercover carpark was totally full up to the travellator,” she said.

“It was an extremely quick rise but luckily we managed to get all the cars out, there was no damage to any cars at all which was a fantastic result.”

As retailers processed the unforeseen circumstances, Ms Nardino commended them for their reaction and willingness to help one another.

No go zone: The flooding inside the Traralgon Centre Plaza undercover car park reached the bottom of the travellators. photograph zac standish “They (the retailers) are just amazing, the great thing about our community is we all rally together to support one another, some retailers did close yesterday and there is an example of Donut King closing their store with a lot of food leftover so they gave it away to the K-Mart staff,” she said.

“Considering they have just been through a week of closure with COVID it has hard to see them lose another day of trade, but the owners are all about supporting our retailers and we will continue to do that in this situation as well.”

TRARALGON FLOODS

Flooding cuts deep for Peterkin Street resident

By ZAC STANDISH

PETERKIN Street house owner Peter Runge is one of many Traralgon residents reeling from last week’s floods, with the rapidly flowing water leaving a path of devastation around his home.

Living at the address for the past five years and owning it for a few years before that, Mr Runge has seen his share of flooding and wild weather before, but nothing to the extent of these most recent events.

“I left (for work) at about 5.45am and had a look at the creek. It was quite low and (I) thought ‘she’ll be right’,” Mr Runge said.

“I then got a call from my mate two hours later saying ‘Pete you better get home your house is going under’, it just shot up, nobody has ever seen in go up so quickly before.”

Although the water level did not quite infiltrate the household, Mr Runge’s garage and yard was completely covered in mud.

He was now counting the cost of losing some of his most treasured items.

“We were lucky because the water level did not quite reach the elevated house unlike further down the road whose houses were completely underwater,” he said.

“The shed was in nearly half a metre deep water so we’ve now got a lot of mud and a lot of water which will take me at least four or five days to clean up so that is how I will be spending my long weekend.

“I ended up losing a whole chainsaw collection,

two Honda mowers so I am guessing it will end being around $20,000.”

Living in a tight-knit community on Peterkin Street, he recalled the scenes of the flood’s peak as everybody went about ensuring their neighbours got out of their submerged homes safely.

“We all know each other and were helping each other out which was good, I took my Harley and a couple of dirt bikes across the road to my mates place which was great,” he said.

“Gary next door, who is an older man, I was looking after him and made sure he evacuated safely, even in the streets behind us there were people passing kids over fences and getting them up to safety, it really was just a whole community effort.”

Although an evacuation was issued for the area, Mr Runge said many residents chose to stay and do what they could to help limit the water damage.

“Most of us sort of hung around and tried to do our best (in saving our houses and possessions),” he said.

“It is a bit hard to leave your house as you obviously want to keep things going, but the secret for us was just opening the back garage door and just letting it flow through until it (the water level) eventually started to go down and down.”

The clean up begins: Peterkin Street resident Peter Runge thinks it will take almost a week to get his garage back to some sort of normality. photograph zac standish

Sandra shares her story of evacuation

By TOM GANNON

TRARALGON residents forced to flee their homes on Thursday were left scrambling to collect important belongings as flood water engulfed most of the residential area around the Traralgon Creek.

While some homes were built on stilts for this exact situation, others weren’t as lucky and water could be seen reaching almost the height of front door handles on some homes.

Amongst the chaos, residents, neighbours and friends could be seen wading through knee deep water trying their best to salvage undamaged belongings.

Homes along Peterkin Street in Traralgon appeared to be some of the worst hit after an evacuation order was made by emergency services.

One such resident was Sandra Flake, whose home was damaged as flood waters surrounded her property.

“It’s exactly what you see, the entire yard is flooded so there’s cupboard and things that have been stored outside that obviously are gone but at the moment its fine as long as it stays at this level but there’s still a concern it’s going to rise,” she told The Express on Thursday morning.

Ms Flake said she was forced to turn around after flood water restricted her from getting to work in Churchill but by the time she returned home most of her property was under water.

“When I left for work this morning it was raining and you could see there were issues.

I thought I might have trouble getting to Churchill because that sometimes floods and then we were turned around from there,” she said.

“So between me going to work this morning, around 7.30am and then coming back at around 9.30am suddenly I couldn’t get into my driveway anymore.

“Then I got home to face this.”

Ms Flake, who was in the process of

Shattered: Traralgon resident Sandra Flake was forced to evacuate as flood waters surrounded her Peterkin Street property on Thursday. photographs tom gannon renovating said she was shattered by the events of the day.

“I’m a little bit shattered to be honest and I’m nervous and worried that I’m going to lose the house,” she said.

“I had just installed new carpets, a kitchen and laundry and that might all go so I’m feeling a little bit sad to be honest.”

Among those helping out was Cleo Lazarus, a friend of Ms Flake who said she had come to help after residents were ordered to evacuate.

“My friend lives here on Peterkin Street and they’ve got evacuation orders so we’ve taken

some of her stuff out and gone through the cold water,” she said.

“Hopefully she’ll be fine, she’s faring a bit better than some of these other houses that are on ground level.”

Despite being in a better position compared to others on the street, Ms Lazarus said she was still concerned for Ms Flake.

“It’s pretty shocking so not good for her, hopefully she doesn’t lose all the work she’s done inside but she’s safe and the neighbours are safe so that’s the main thing,” she said.

Teamwork: Friends and neighbours were in abundance to help Traralgon residents impacted by flood waters on Thursday.

GERF launches appeal to support flood-affected communities

THE Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (GERF) has launched an appeal for financial donations to provide flood-affected Gippslanders with immediate support.

GERF spokesperson Barry Whitehead announced the appeal on Friday following confirmed reports of multiple property evacuations and damage in the Latrobe and Wellington council areas.

While the full extent of the damage is not yet known, councils have activated emergency relief plans and already know of a number of people in need of immediate help.

Mr Whitehead said “it is likely that many Gippsland residents will be affected by flood waters.”

Funds raised by GERF are distributed quickly to impacted Gippslanders for discretionary use while insurance and government claims are being processed, helping give access to emergency resources like food and temporary accommodation.

Mr Whitehead said the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund, which has been helping locals impacted by natural disaster since 1978, had always received strong support from community members and businesses, both from within the region and further abroad.

“Unfortunately, Gippslanders are all too familiar with the devastating impacts fire, flood and other natural disasters can have on our region,” he said.

“That said, we’ve always been able to rely on the goodwill of locals and friends from other communities to dig deep and give what they can during these trying times.

“So we’re asking local community members and corporate citizens, neighbours and friends from other communities to think about the plight of flood-affected Gippsland communities and give whatever they can.”

Donations can be made via Direct Transfer – BSB 083 932 Acc/No. 740196862, Paypal at www. gerf.org.au, or at any at any branch of the NAB across Australia.

All donations over $2 are tax deductable.

Residents affected by the floods should contact their local Council Municipal Recovery manager, who will assess the applicant’s situation and make a referral to GERF where applicable.

Mr Whitehead said that any Gippslander whose principal place of residence is affected by floodwater, along with farmers experiencing loss of fencing, fodder or livestock may be eligible for payment.

The Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund is operated by local volunteers for Gippsland communities affected by natural disaster events.

TRARALGON FLOODS

Maroons start clean-up after home ground floods

By LIAM DURKIN

DAMAGING winds and an epic downpour turned the Traralgon Recreation Reserve into a lake on Thursday.

Incredible images saw water rise above the fence line at the football oval, with water making its way a good distance up the Tony Lane Stand.

Not surprisingly, Traralgon cancelled its training on Thursday night, as did a number of other clubs in the area to try and help keep their grounds in usable condition.

As the floodwater subsided overnight, the full extent of the damage at Traralgon was seen the next day.

The entire clubrooms side of the oval was reduced to a mud pit, with the mud so thick it made walking on its surface a task in itself.

The fence line of the recreation reserve near the Shakespeare Street roundabout was also completely torn down, while advertising boards had literally been blown from their foundation.

Broken tree branches and leaves filled the grandstands behind the goals, and did similarly to the fence underneath the Maroons deck.

Traralgon Football-Netball Club football operations manager Andrew Quenault and reserves coach Martin Cameron were on site Friday morning assessing the situation.

The pair posted a video to the club’s Facebook page taking viewers on a walk through of what happened.

Mud filled every room in the changerooms and toilets, and in a further blow, the club also lost freezers and fridges in the canteen and trainers room, which also housed a great deal of strapping tape which had to be thrown out.

Maroons president Kevin Foley said the club was facing a hefty clean-up, and it would be all hands on deck to help get back firing again.

“It will mean stripping the insides of the building, giving it a hose-out, letting everything dry out, putting some stuff back in, we’ll

certainly have it in a state that we can play from,” he said.

“The players have been fantastic. They’ve all willing to pitch in and help get it going. They’re pretty resilient, we’ll roll the sleeves up.”

Mr Foley told The Express it was a fairly demoralising feeling as news came through on Thursday.

“I was pretty flat. You put all your effort into getting the guys and girls onto the ground and court with COVID and then this comes along.

You sort of say to yourself ‘Why didn’t I sandbag this? Or put this up?’” he said.

Having been around the Traralgon sporting scene for many years, Mr Foley said the only other time he had seen a flood of similar proportions at the recreation reserve was in 1993.

“The 1993 photo compared to this one, on ‘93 you can see the perimeter of the fence but on this one you can’t - it (this flood) would be pretty close to the biggest one I’ve seen,” he said.

“Going on the vision we’ve seen on our security cameras it was going up to The Deck.”

Despite the current condition, Mr Foley said the club was still hoping to play at home against Morwell on June 26.

“We’re hoping to play our home game here in two weeks’ time - that’s what we are aiming for,” he said.

“There is a fair bit of work to do in between but certainly hoping that’s the case. We need a bit of wind to help dry the sludge.

“We’ve done it before, last time this happened in 2013 it happened on a Monday and we played on the Saturday ... it can happen, it will take a fair bit of effort, it just might mean we haven’t got carpet.”

With the surface off limits for now, Traralgon is looking to use the synthetic football oval at Morwell as a temporary training base.

Failing that, it will see what other public reserves or parks might be available.

Minor damage leaves cafe owner breathing a sigh of relief

By ZAC STANDISH

Very lucky: Cafe Stellina owner Brett Ingwersen is counting his lucky stars the rising water levels did not reach the building. photograph zac standish

THE staff at Traralgon’s Cafe Stellina are considering themselves very lucky following last week’s floods, with the rapidly flowing water only dealing them minor damage to their outdoor seating and toilet areas.

Situated just metres from the banks of the Traralgon Creek on Peterkin Street, owner Brett Ingwersen watched the incredible events transpire fearing the water levels would reach the building.

“The first concern was firstly how high the water would come up and the wind damage and how that would affect (our infrastructure),” Mr Ingwersen said.

“Whether it would reach the building (was a major concern), even though we knew we were pretty high up, I came down yesterday morning and watched the level slowly rise and rise and it ended up getting very high at its peak.”

He gave an outline of the damage to the cafe’s outdoor area and how close the water got to infiltrating the main building.

“There was probably about six inches of water through the courtyard, the bottom of our toilets were all flooded along with a lot of the plants and gardens we have in that back area,” he said.

“Looking at the measurements it (the water

level) ended up getting four metres from the main building which is a massive relief that it did not quite get up this high.”

With the past year serving up a lot of blows to the hospitality industry, Mr Ingwersen highlighted the impact of yet another day of lost trade as he was forced to close.

“We unfortunately ended up closing because I could not get any staff in due to the road closures and the situation with the flooding,” he said.

“It is just a constant hit every week it seems like something different pops up, we have had the flood, we have had the plague and now we are just waiting to see what happens next.”

Now in a position to continue operations, Mr Ingwersen said he was thankful he did not quite feel the devastating impacts of the flood many of his neighbours and friends endured.

“It is back to business as usual which is great, we are much luckier than a lot of our neighbours we have friends who are local who’s houses are just ruined,” he said.

“I saw people down the road here on surfboards and things (trying to get possessions out of their homes) so to be in the position we are currently in we are very lucky.”

news Latrobe Health Advocate is calling for you to be part of new survey

LATROBE Health Advocate Jane Anderson wants to hear from communities across Latrobe about their experiences accessing primary health care services in the region.

The Advocate’s office has created a short community survey to learn more about the challenges people face when accessing local healthcare services and to understand how this might have changed over the past 12 months.

As part of her role, the Advocate seeks out conversations with communities across Latrobe about their health and wellbeing concerns and aspirations.

In 2020 the Advocate worked together with other local agencies and health services to produce an action plan to address the long-term challenges and the underlying causes that may prevent people from being able to access a doctor in Latrobe.

COVID-19 has fast-tracked many of the changes people have been asking for and has created an opportunity to try new things and learn about what works, what doesn’t and why.

The Advocate is calling on people in Latrobe to share their experiences accessing primary healthcare services in the region by completing the community survey.

The community survey takes 5 minutes to complete and will help shape the Advocate’s Access to Services progress report which will be provided directly to the Victorian Minister for Health To complete the survey, scan the QR code attached in Community Corner.

People who do not have access to a smart device can call the Advocate’s office on 1800 319 255 and complete the survey over the phone.

Moe Baptist Church

THE Moe Baptist Church and Community groups would like to say thank you to Latrobe City Council following our successful application for a grant.

The grant has allowed us to have a ramp built at the side of the building with a safety rail for use as our Fire Evacuation Exit.

Members of the Church along with community group attendees, particularly those who are less able are now able to exit the building safely and more confidently with the wide ramp and rail in place.

The ramp replaces a number of steps which were not ideal for those older with walking sticks and motorized scooters as well as parents with a pram.

So thumbs up to Latrobe City for their support which has made exiting the building so much more accessible.

Latrobe Valley Chess Club MATT Bolding won most contests losing only his first battle against an inconsistent Ian Hamilton.

Steve Ahern accepted defeat admirably and held the draw in his final game.

The opportunities were there for both Cliff Thornton and Nicole Formaran who erred at key moments.

Bob Cooper lost only two battles and a quick round for Jayden Gregory gave him some rewards.

Victory for Jack Cumming was balanced with the slips in other games.

Workplace Support Forum for horticulture industry THE horticulture industry in Gippsland produces 25 per cent of Victoria’s vegetables and having a stable workforce plays a big role in its ongoing success.

Food & Fibre Gippsland (FFG), together with VegNET Gippsland, the Victorian Farmers Federation, TAFE Gippsland and Agriculture Victoria, will hold a Horticulture Workforce Forum in Sale on Tuesday, June 22 to update growers on initiatives in place to support them in growing, retaining and looking after their employees.

FFG’s Employment Program, supported by Jobs Victoria, has been working with a number of growers for the last four years, providing support in finding the right employees, funding and facilitating training for new employees as well as introducing trainees to the horticulture industry.

The program aims to spread its reach further and wider across the region, and FFG representatives will be explaining how growers can connect with the program to access ongoing support that helps build a strong, robust workforce for their business all year round.

VFF Farm Safety Advisor John Darcy will be providing an update on the important issue of farm safety, following the introduction of workplace manslaughter laws that came into effect in Victoria in July last year.

There is a wide range of support services available to help with farmer and worker’s safety, wellbeing and mental health, and growers are encouraged to connect with John to find out more about the Making our Farms Safer program.

TAFE Gippsland’s Bruce Macpherson will have an update on the horticulture and agriculture courses currently on offer, inviting feedback from growers about course content to help maximise the on-thejob future effectiveness of the TAFE training.

The region’s seasonal workforce continues to be a challenge in a covid impacted environment. There’ll be an update from Agriculture Victoria as they continue to engage with industry and many other stakeholders to find workable solutions, FFG’s This is My Job Series has opened the eyes and ears of many people around the region, with an online campaign of video stories profiling a wide range of employees

from four leading horticulture businesses.

Close to 30 jobs have been put in the spotlight, with the people in them proving there’s a lot more to horticulture than manual labour in the field.

A few of these short video clips will be shown at the forum, with guidance offered to growers on how they can use these video resources in their own recruiting processes.

The forum will be held at the Criterion Hotel in Sale from 11.30am to 2.30pm and numbers are limited due to current covid restrictions, so registrations are essential.

Community’s generosity assists church THERE has been an outpouring of community generosity to help repair St John’s Catholic Parish Trafalgar.

The historic church has been literally eaten alive by termites in recent months, leading to a hefty repair bill.

Locals and church officials have rallied around the churches plight, and so far have raised closed to an astonishing $80,000 in a relatively short space of time.

Parish council member Jean Huffer said her fellow parishioners had been blown away by the support.

“We are overwhelmed by the generosity and level of support from all directions and are deeply grateful for the response so far,” she told The Express.

“We have several fundraising projects ongoing, large and small, and all are helping to reach the $100,000 goal.”

The church has received a great deal of support from the neighbouring St Joseph’s Primary School, with schoolchildren eagerly colouring in a tallythermometer out the front of the church as money comes in.

“The school children have been busy running a cake stall and their parents supporting the Go Fund Me page advertised on the large poster in the church grounds,” Ms Huffer said.

“We have a few more fund raising projects in mind but are hampered by the COVID restrictions, so will have to wait a while to start them.”

Progress on the repair has started, with the

Reflections on a key point in time

SPORT

By LIAM DURKIN

READERS of a certain vintage will surely be surprised to learn around 15 years ago a proposal was put forward that would have changed the face of the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve forever.

With countless footballers, netballers, cricketers, boxers and soccer players gracing the recreation reserve yearly, another sport was to be added to the list as Greyhound Racing Victoria planned to build a racing complex in Trafalgar.

For one reason or another the complex never came to fruition, leaving it resigned to probably the greatest ‘what if?’ in Trafalgar’s history.

Trafalgar resident Mick Bourke was president of the Trafalgar Community Development Association at the time, and was part of discussions with the GRV around the proposal.

Taking up the story, Bourke said the GRV proposal carried on plans to further develop the recreation reserve in the early to mid 2000s.

“Back in 2005, based on a recreation precinct strategic plan developed the previous year by the Trafalgar community under the leadership of Peter Williams (then president of Trafalgar Recreation Reserve) and myself we convinced Baw Baw Shire Council to purchase the Turra family farm adjacent to the recreation reserve,” he told The Express.

“Greyhound Racing Victoria approached Baw Baw Shire Council in early March 2007 proposing the concept of a new greyhound racing facility in Trafalgar.

“The then shire chief executive officer, Glenn Patterson, met me so council could ‘get a feel’ of how the community would react - I was positive.

“GRV’s racing, integrity and infrastructure manager subsequently met with council officers and me in mid-March 2007 to discuss the proposal.

The precinct steering committee then gave its ‘in principle’ support to the concept.”

At its simplest, the proposal was that GRV wished to purchase approximately 10 hectares of the new recreation precinct area to build a racecourse.

It was attracted to Trafalgar due to the location of the recreation reserve, which runs virtually alongside the Princes Highway as drivers enter the town from Warragul.

The plan was to build a racecourse with the same design as the track in Shepparton, and as Bourke said, the flow on effects would have been far reaching.

“The precinct steering committee was strongly supportive of the GRV concept as it saw many benefits to the Trafalgar community, and in general to the broader Baw Baw community,” he said.

“There would have been employment for local tradesmen in building the facility, and ongoing employment by people involved in the industry and in hospitality services.

“Personally I think it would have provided a great financial boost to the community, jobs would have been created in the facility itself, most of which I believe would have been filled by local residents.

“I think it would have provided additional employment and revenue to other local businesses both

What could have been: The location of the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve alongside the Princes Highway had it earmarked as an ideal spot for a greyhound track in the mid 2000’s. photograph contributed. directly related, and ancillary, to the greyhounds.

“Of course, Trafalgar would have been publicised whenever a race meeting was held.”

It can be reasonably assumed every sporting club in the town would have held functions there, while the inside of the track may have also lent itself to a second football oval or even a turf wicket - something the Trafalgar Cricket Club is still fighting for to this day.

Locals knocking off work on a Friday would have more than likely went down to the greyhounds, while those in the older category may have enjoyed something such as a bingo night arranged by the club.

However, as time moved on discussions did not, and the proposal ultimately became something that was perhaps too good to be true.

“We had some issues with the actual shape of the land GRV wanted to buy, and there was a discrepancy between land valuations, GRV and council plus some other more minor issues,” Bourke said.

When asked if it every really got close to happening, Bourke said there was still an element of the unknown.

“It looked like it was going very well up until October 2007,” he said.

“The proposals were confidential. I suspect Traralgon and Warragul became aware of the negotiations between GRV and us and pressure was applied to GRV to keep the status quo.”

While Trafalgar might not have a greyhound track, the recreation reserve is currently being expanded, with construction of a new multi-use pavilion on the way.

Having been involved behind the scenes for many years, Bourke said it was great to see things moving.

“Our original community recreation precinct strategic plan, developed in 2004, and which has largely been ratified by at least two subsequent council-based plans, still holds up well,” Mr Bourke said.

“I always knew not all within the original plan

would get through, however, it appears most of the major ones will.

“What is missing from the early plans are two significant parts, which I would like to see reinserted.

“First is the wetlands area. This has been discarded as not being able to provide sufficient irrigation to the various arenas - that was never its purpose.

“It was to be primarily a wetlands area to attract appropriate flora and fauna.

“Secondary use was irrigation if sufficient water was available. Unfortunately the secondary purpose somehow became the main purpose.

“The second feature missing is the adventure playground.

“It was originally proposed that there be a large playground on about 2.5 hectares that would have flying foxes and such other adventurous activities.

That has dropped off the radar.

“Certainly nothing could have happened if the Turra family hadn’t sold the land to council.”

Clubs hit by storm damage

FOOTBALL/NETBALL MID GIPPSLAND

STORM damage in the last week has affected a number of clubs in the southern region of the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League.

Spiraling winds and huge downpours, coupled with the last three rounds of the season being cancelled, has added to the list of challenges faced by clubs such as Boolarra and Fish Creek.

Demons coach and farmer Tony Giardina said it wasn’t just the football side of things he was needing to take care of.

“I’ve actually been trying to keep the cattle safe in recent days,” he said.

“We have had no power here for three days and no phone service until now (Sunday), and that’s all of South Gippy.

“We can’t wait for footy and most of the boys are keen, we have only trained once as the ground has no power.”

It is a similar story at Fish Creek, as senior coach John Danckert explained.

“We still have no power in Fish Creek and very sketchy phone and internet service,” he said.

“Training as a group has been difficult with the lockdown but the boys are jumping out of their skin to get back into it.”

All going well, the MGFNL will resume this Saturday, restarting from Round 11 .

The amended fixture is: MDU v Foster, Boolarra v Toora, Morwell East v Hill End, Tarwin v Newborough, Stony Creek v Fish Creek, Mirboo North v Thorpdale, Yinnar (Bye).

Success: Glenn Hunter in action at Warragul where he drove a recent winner in Deft Touch.

Trafalgar reinsman secures Warragul success

HARNESS RACING

By KYLE GALLEY

TRAFALGAR horseman Glenn Hunter scored an upset victory on his home track at the Warragul trots meeting recently.

Deft Touch ($15.20) enjoyed a soft run on the inside of horses during the Alby and Nell Quinlan

Page 30 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 14 June, 2021

Memorial Pace, before coming with a well timed drive by Hunter to wear down the short priced favourite Elleker Hanover ($1.30) which had led throughout.

Deft Touch now boasts a record of three wins and seven placings from 39 starts and will be aimed at similar country races in coming weeks.

Hunter prepares a small team of horses from

his father’s property north of Trafalgar, and has driven many winners since beginning to drive in races as a teenager.

He also prepares yearlings for other local trainers, teaching those young horses how to become racehorses.

Hunter has “broken in” numerous successful horses during his time in the sport.

Calling all past players FOOTBALL/NETBALL

Online learning: South East Melbourne Phoenix players Kendall Stephens and Kyle Adnam shared their stories as part of the new Take Flight e-learning courses.

Phoenix program is flying BASKETBALL

By TOM GANNON

NATIONAL Basketball League (NBL) team South East Melbourne Phoenix (SEMP) has joined forces with Leaders of Evolution to release the ‘Take Flight’ suite of e-learning courses, free for Latrobe Valley Secondary Schools.

The courses focus on teaching students in Year 8 and 9 important life skills like leadership, growth mindset, resilience, teamwork and emotional management.

SEMP players play a pivotal role by sharing their own experiences of personal development, something which Leaders of Evolution’s Jon Shepard believes will help students relate to their learning.

“We had a strong emphasis on pulling through the athletes stories in to the actual learning area of the course so young people can make a connection and once you have that you can have an impact,” he said.

The courses go for 8-10 weeks and have been tailor-made to run alongside existing Victorian curriculum so they can be implemented in to sports, leadership, business or personal development classes.

Teachers will first go through an introduction course during which they receive accredited professional development and an understanding of how

best to incorporate the ‘Take Flight’ content in to their classes.

Each student will have access to the online portal on any compatible device at home or at school which includes their own profile with their guidebook and other course materials.

Berwick College teacher and former Perth Wildcats player Brent Hobba recently completed the Teacher Introduction Course and is implementing both the Year 8 and 9 course this term.

Mr Hobba said he expects the sporting nature of the course will feel more approachable to students, giving them a better chance at utilising learnt skills later in life.

“Although they are relating it to sport, you need all of these skills to do well in life, in whatever pathway you’re taking. I expect the engagement will be really high and I’m really looking forward to seeing what the kids will produce and how they build on the information they learn,” he said.

The online nature of the courses, also known as educational technology or EdTech aims to improve upon face-to-face learning by being readily accessible and having a focus on a broad range of life skills.

SEMP head of operations Rohan Short said the club saw an opportunity to utilise EdTech after last year’s lockdowns which forced many students in to remote learning.

“Off the back of COVID-19, education technology and harnessing online has become more prevalent and with that schools are much more on board with using technology because it provides a future-proof learning environment,” he said.

Mr Short said the course is strengthened by players’ willingness to share their personal setbacks and challenges as former students and professional athletes.

“They certainly have been very open in the process, especially around having difficult conversations, how to deal with learning challenges, setbacks, they all have transferable stories that seem to resonate with young people,” he said.

With Lavalla Catholic College in Traralgon recently signing up, Mr Shepard is urging other secondary schools in the Latrobe Valley to follow suit.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for schools in the Latrobe Valley to start now, it’s open, it’s available and the SEMP would love to see as many Latrobe Valley schools get started this year as possible,” he said.

“We’re really motivated and excited to see this not only grow throughout the Latrobe Valley but also throughout Victoria and the rest of Australia.”

To get started on the course contact South East Melbourne Phoenix at community@semphoenix. com.au.

David in seventh heaven after life membership CRICKET

High honour: David Ferguson, pictured with son Heath, was recently inducted as a life member of Thorpdale Cricket Club.

photograph supplied.

DAVID Ferguson was recently inducted as a life member of Thorpdale Cricket Club.

Ferguson is only the seventh person to receive life membership at the Blues.

Ferguson came to Thorpdale in 1995 and has being involved with the club ever since.

Some of the clubs favourite memories of ‘Ferg’ on the field include the time Laurie Poole went to England and brought back a heap of Duncan Fearnley bats and said ‘whoever gets the next hundred for the club can have a bat for free’ - Ferguson then went out the next week and made a hundred. He still uses the bat to this day.

Ferguson has also held a number of off field roles, most notably as club treasurer. He has been responsible for maintaining the mowing of Thorpdale Recreation Reserve during cricket season and makes sure the bar is always well stocked.

Over the years he has coached a lot of junior teams at the club and mentored many of the

current day players and turned them into the players they are today.

As well as Ferguson’s life membership, the Thorpdale Cricket Club also presented a special new award named after club great Harvey Poole at its recent presentation night.

The Harvey Poole Champion Batter award was donated by Harvey’s family and is actually one of his very own cricket bats.

The award is given to the player who scores the most runs for the club in the season.

The bat will be displayed in the club rooms and the winner receives a plaque as well as having their name on the bat. The winner of the inaugural Harvey Poole Champion Batter award was Kayne O’Connell.

Other award winners at presentation night were: Matt Powell (champion player, bowling average and aggregate), Boyd Bailey (batting average), Zack O’Connell (player of the finals), Cougar Millsom (C Grade bowling average and aggregate), Ray Pickering (C Grade batting aggregate), Allan Macke (encouragement award).

THE Boisdale Football-Netball Club has moved its past players day originally scheduled for this weekend to later in the season.

All players and officials that have pulled on the Bombers colours are invited to congregate behind the goals at the town end of Boisdale Recreation Reserve.

A reunion luncheon will also be held to celebrate the anniversaries of premiership teams that were unable to last season - 1970 seniors, 1995 seniors and 2000 senior and reserves.

The 2001 senior premiership team, coached by current Maffra senior coach Wayne Butcher, will also be commemorated when the function is held.

The Bombers of today, coached by club legend Darren Renooy, are aiming to break a senior flag drought stretching back to that triumph.

Boisdale-Briagolong competed in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League from 1965 to 1985 and again from 2004 until 2014, where they moved to East Gippsland.

Those wishing to find out more are encouraged to phone Brett Lanigan on 0427 517 577 or email brett@gremaffra.com.au

Jiath stars as Hawks stun Swans

FOOTBALL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

MORWELL export Changkuoth Jiath played a starring role as Hawthorn stunned Sydney by 38 points on Friday night.

The Hawks produced their best performance of the 2021 season, snapping a five-match losing streak with the 14.5 (89) to 7.9 (51) victory.

Playing in defence, Jiath knocked up winning the football, gathering a career-high 28 possessions (14 kicks and 14 handballs) to feature prominently in Hawthorn’s best.

The success was an early birthday present for Jiath, who turned 22 yesterday.

He gained a team-high 553 metres with his dash from the half-back line proving a key feature in the Hawks gameplan on the tight confines of the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Jiath was joined in the list of Hawthorn’s better players by 2018 Brownlow medallist Tom Mitchell, who had 34 touches (including 16 contested), seven tackles and a goal.

Ruckman Jonathon Ceglar, Ben McEvoy, playing predominantly in a forward role, midfielder Jaeger O’Meara and key defender Sam Frost were other leading lights for Hawthorn.

Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson said the performance came after a tough few weeks.

“We had an opportunity over the mid-season bye to have a bit of a reset and do some soulsearching,” he said.

“We were able to do that, get a rest, set ourselves up for a restart and try to find something out of the second-half of the year.

“I think that reflected in why our intensity right from the get-go was really, really strong.”

Gold Coast, featuring former Moe and Fish Creek footballer Sam Flanders, finished on the receiving end of a 27-point loss to Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

The Dockers kept its finals hopes alive with the 11.10 (76) to 6.13 (49) success despite missing Nat Fyfe.

Flanders finished the game with 14 possessions and 1.2.

There was no Ben Ainsworth in the Gold Coast side, but the Morwell talent did his hopes of a senior recall no harm with a starring performance in the VFL. Ainsworth booted three goals and was named third best as the Suns scored a thrilling 17.5 (107) to 16.8 (104) win over the Sydney Swans.
