Report card: New government pollution data has revealed that Loy Yang A represented more than 10 per cent of Australia’s entire electricity sector emissions, with its owner AGL the country’s top polluter. file photograph

Valley’s stations high on pollution list

By MICHELLE SLATER

NEW government pollution data has revealed that Loy Yang A represented more than 10 per cent of Australia’s entire electricity sector emissions, with its owner AGL the country’s top polluter.

The latest National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting data showed that Loy Yang A emitted 16.9 million tonnes of carbon emissions in the year 2019-2020.

All up, AGL emitted 42.2 million tonnes for the year, primarily from its three coal-fired power stations at Loy Yang A and Liddell and Bayswater in New South Wales.

Yallourn and Loy Yang B ranked as the country’s

fourth and fifth highest emitters with 12.5 million tonnes and 10.4 million tonnes of pollution, respectively.

AGL plans to close Loy Yang A in 2048, but Greenpeace senior coal campaigner Glenn Walker said this timeline was too late to prevent “further catastrophic climate change”.

“Recent market developments and the surge in renewable energy means that this timeline simply isn’t realistic,” Mr Walker said.

“Loy Yang A is too dirty and expensive, and doesn’t provide long-term job security for local workers.”

Mr Walker called for AGL to close its coal fleet by 2030 and replace it with renewable energy.

,. !

“Gippsland, as we saw last summer, is on the frontline of climate change, and highly vulnerable to dangerous climate impacts such as extreme bushfires, drought and heat waves,” he said.

“With cleaner, safer renewable energy set to create a bright future and new industries for the Latrobe Valley, it’s time for AGL to get with the program and bring Loy Yang A’s closure forward.”

AGL plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050 as part of the company’s climate statement issued last year, however has also promised to keep operating Loy Yang A until its scheduled end date.

The company is also installing a 200 megawatt grid-scale battery at its Loy Yang site as part of an

850 megawatt multi-site, integrated battery system.

An AGL spokesperson said the company understood its responsibility as Australia’s largest energy generator and retailer “to drive the transition to a cleaner energy future, while maintaining reliable and affordable energy” for its customers.

“AGL’s coal fired-power stations play an important role in an orderly and responsible transition to a cleaner energy future,” the spokesperson said.

“AGL has published dates for the closure of our coal-fired power stations.

“We remain committed to these and the transition plans while progressing investments for projects that transition our portfolio.”

Gelagotis expresses relief

By JAMES TZAFERIS, racing.com and GREGOR MACTAGGART

GROUP One-winning Moe trainer Peter Gelagotis said he is vindicated after being found not guilty of illegally stomach-tubing one of his horses on the morning of a race in 2019.

The Victorian Racing Tribunal handed down the decision last week, more than two months after the hearing into the charges took place last December.

In announcing the findings, the VRT said it could not be comfortably satisfied the charges were proven, based on evidence tendered by Racing Victoria and the testimony provided by Mr Gelagotis and several of his staff.

Mr Gelagotis, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, said he had been completely transparent with racing authorities during the investigation.

“I’m grateful for being given a fair and proper hearing, and I believe the right decision has been made,” Mr Gelagotis said.

“We put our faith in the system and the Victorian Racing Tribunal has arrived at this conclusion by acknowledging the evidence and facts presented to them.”

The Moe horseman, now in his 21st season as a trainer, said the news of the verdict had taken a weight of his shoulders.

“It is a relief,” he said.

“The outcome is the result of the truth coming out.

“I would like to acknowledge and thank the tribunal for considering the weight of evidence and the facts in their decision.”

Mr Gelagotis, best known for preparing the likes of AJC Derby champion Levendi, globetrotting sprinter Illustrious Lad, speedster Malaguerra and iron-horse Mourinho, paid tribute to his supporters.

“I’d like to thank our ownership group during what was a character testing period for everyone,” he said.

“Not one owner left the stable and said they were going to take their horses elsewhere. I thank them for their support.

“I’d also like to thank my lawyer Damian Sheales for his tireless work, as well as my family, friends and the team at Gelagotis Racing.

“I pride myself on representing Moe and the Gippsland community well. It is onwards and upwards now.”

Gelagotis pleaded guilty to a lesser presentation charge and will await a penalty.

Life expectancy is examined

RECENTLY released data by the Public Health Information Development Unit has revealed a huge discrepancy in life expectancy from various Melbourne suburbs and regional Victoria.

City slickers can have a 30-year difference depending on where they live, while in regional Victoria, the margin is 21 years.

The research by Torrens University looked at a number of factors and areas in Gippsland.

For towns in the Latrobe Valley, the median age of death from 2014 to 2018 was 80, although Churchill came in at 76.

Moe, Morwell,Traralgon,Yallourn North and Glengarry were all included in the research and figured well in comparison to all regional areas the research covered.

The above mentioned towns fell within one decimal point of the average life expectancy in regional Victoria from 92 towns, which was 80.7.

The highest life expectancy was found in Yackandandah with a median of 86.5, with the lowest for Melbourne’s CBD just 59.

The lowest for regional Victoria was French Island at 65, although given the island is only home to just over 100 people, that number may be classed as an outlier.

Of more prominent regional areas, Maiden Gully in the Bendigo region was next on the lowest median age list at 71.

Professor John Glover from the research team said there was a number of aspects that affected the data.

“Variations in the median age at death between suburbs are impacted by many factors including socioeconomic disadvantage, as influenced by unemployment, education, housing and income,” he said.

“Events like road traffic accidents among young people lower the median age, and the location of residential aged care facilities raise the median age.

“Regardless of variations between areas, I expect the data will place those areas with lower lifespans under the spotlight, and hope that social and health policymakers, agencies and providers will be informed by these data, investigate the causes and further consider the needs of people in these areas.”

Publican shouts for support

By MICHELLE SLATER

A WILLOW Grove publican had been in limbo for almost six months waiting to receive a state government coronavirus business grant that should have taken 10 days to turnaround.

Willow Grove Hotel owner Scott Bradley initially applied for the hospitality grant in October and reapplied in December, but was finally promised he would receive the support package late last week.

In the meantime, he has been forced to sell his personal assets and use up his own savings to keep the pub afloat, and keep nine locals in jobs.

“I’ve made more than 20 phone calls and I kept on getting a standard reply. I’m very much reliant on this grant, it means we can do much more to our business,” Mr Bradley said.

“Personally, it’s a mental strain and a financial impost, now I have borrowings I have to repay and now the money is not forthcoming.”

Mr Bradley purchased the country pub 12 months ago, and was just building up his business before the state was plunged into hard lockdown.

He said the most recent five-day “circuit breaker” lockdown cost him significantly in lost trade.

“This is money I won’t get back, plus all the stock I had to throw out as we were nearly booked out that weekend of Valentine’s Day,” he said.

“Pubs in a small community are a centrepiece, there are a lot of retirees in Willow Grove and they come for a meal once a week. It’s a great tourist area and a pretty place.”

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath recently took up Mr Bradley’s issue in Parliament calling on the state government to apologise and speed up the grant application.

“Labor is kicking the can down the road with its shoddy small business support.Taking six months to assess and administer a desperately needed grant is appalling,” Ms Bath said.

“There are people employed to ensure these grants are issued in a timely manner, stringing along desperate business owners with no response is cruel.”

A state government spokesman confirmed that Mr Bradley’s was notified that his application was approved on Thursday.

“The department apologises for the delay after further information was requested in relation to this application,” the spokesman said.

Masks only required in ‘high-risk’ settings MASKS are now only required in what have been labelled “high-risk” settings such as in shopping centres, travelling on public transport and indoor markets.

That was the major change in the easing of restrictions announced by Premier Daniel Andrews on Friday.

Other key changes which came into effect as of midnight on Saturday are as follows: Up to 30 people can attend a home per day.

Up to 100 people can attend outdoor gatherings.

Meanwhile, the planned increase for office workers to return to work can go ahead at 75 per cent across both public and private sectors from today.

“I want to extend my thanks to each and every Victorian for the way they have conducted

themselves,” Mr Andrews said.

“The short sharp circuit breaker was effective, that strategy worked, as to waiting this extra time to see those cases through the 14-day period.

“These (changes) are based on the advice of the Chief Health Officer to return to the COVIDSafe summer settings, not those at New Year’s Eve, but in place at Christmas.”

But some restrictions current in place will remain as is.

Density limits in pubs, restaurants and cafes will remain at one person per 2sqm for both indoors and outdoors with no other cap, so long as electronic record keeping - a QR code - is used.

For small operations, there’ll be no density limits if the patron number is under 25 and they will

still be required to keep records.

For beauty services, businesses remain at one person per 2sqm - if they also introduce electronic record keeping.

For businesses where that’s not possible, density limits of one person per 4 sqm will apply.

Retail businesses also remain at one person per 2sq metres and electronic record keeping is recommended where practical.

Funerals and weddings are subject to a density limit of one person per 2sqm.

The same rules will apply to nightclubs and our community facilities, like our libraries, RSLs, and community halls.

In gyms, the density limit remains one per 4sqm - with exercise classes limited to 50 indoors

and 100 outdoors.

The State of Emergency - which needs to be declared so the Chief Health Officer can issue directions to respond to the pandemic and keep Victorians safe - will be extended to 11:59pm, March 15, 2021.

Mr Andrews said 50 per cent capacities would apply at the state’s major AFL venues, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Marvel Stadium.

“None of it is possible without the extraordinary efforts of every single Victorian,” he said.

No new cases were recorded yesterday, with 15 active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria, made up of 11 locally-acquired cases and four overseasacquired cases.

Target’s Traralgon exit hitting home

By MICHELLE SLATER

RETAIL giant Target’s departure from Traralgon has been labelled as “sad” and a “bitter blow for impacted staff” after it announced an April closing date last week.

Local customers were greeted with a note on the door advising them the outlet would close on April 17, encouraging them to instead shop at Target’s online retail platform.

Parent company Wesfarmers issued a statement last year that it was permanently shutting its Target Country stores, and would covert other outlets to Kmart due to “unsustainable” business models.

Traralgon Chamber of Commerce president Luke Henderson said he felt “sorry” for the store’s employees.

“It’s a sad day when a national chain pulls out of our town, this is evident how bad the retail sector has been going in the past 12 months, especially in regional Victoria,” Mr Henderson said.

“They are promoting their expansion of online shopping, but this doesn’t benefit the town and the people in it.”

Mr Henderson said the departure flagged the importance of shopping local and supporting the town’s small businesses.

“The local community should shop at local businesses, compared to national brands that open and close without considering staff - just depending on their own share prices,” he said.

“What I would like to see replacing it is a business connected to the community, that will put roots into the community and put back into the community.”

Member for Morwell Russell Northe said he was disappointed that another major retailer was abandoning the Latrobe Valley, particularly after the recent exit of major bank branches.

Mr Northe told The Express that he understood that online shopping was impacting the retail sector,

Final countdown: Traralgon’s Target Country store is slated to close in April. but it was still “a bitter blow for impacted staff and their families along with their Target customers”.

“When a major company withdraws its services from a community it is concerning, and unfortunately we have already seen this occur across many Latrobe Valley towns,” Mr Northe said.

The Express contacted Target for comment, however it did not respond by deadline.

Wesfarmers stated last year the Target brand had been struggling for many years, incurring significant losses and was unviable in its current form.

“We acknowledge this is a tough time for some of our team members and customers, and we are supporting them as best we can, including identifying redeployment opportunities in other Wesfarmers businesses,” the statement said.

Farm World gets green light

Ingrown Toenail treatment?

THE Gippsland region is set to host the first major agricultural event since the start of the coronavirus pandemic with Farm World at Lardner Park receiving formal approval to proceed from the state government last week.

Farm World was one of the first major events to be cancelled in 2020 as the pandemic struck, leaving exhibitors uncertain about what the event would look like in 2021.

The Lardner Park team have worked closely with the Department of Health to rework Farm World to comply with strict state government coronavirus guidelines and will welcome back both exhibitors and visitors on March 26.

While parts of Farm World will look different to comply with state government guidelines, chief executive officer Craig Debnam has said that the event will still maintain its agricultural roots with this year’s theme being ‘Return to Heritage’.

“Our entire team at Lardner Park has been focused on developing a COVIDSafe Event Plan in line with Victorian Government guidelines and the formal approval this week means rain, hail or shine Farm World will go ahead in 2021,” he said.

“This is a significant milestone for regional events with Farm World 2021 set to be one of the first events since the pandemic started that will allow

“It will be fantastic to see not only exhibitors again, but patrons and visitors including school groups who come to Farm World to learn about our primary production sector and the important role it plays in our state.”

Farm World 2021 will also feature its now traditional Telstra Women in Ag luncheon on Friday in the main event centre as well as the new Commonwealth Bank - Yarn on the Farm - networking event at the heritage rotunda on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Main Event Centre will then come alive, with local business “String and Salt” conducting live cooking demonstrations with the CWA showcasing local suppliers and produces and the Warragul Historical Society showcasing Farm World over the generations with photography and rolling visual displays.

Farm World 2021 runs from March 26 to March 28 at Lardner Park and tickets must be pre-purchased online at lardnerpark.com.au for contact tracing purposes.

Where’s the electric vehicle factory?

By MICHELLE SLATER

Remember when: Premier Daniel Andrews pictured in October 2018 when he announced state government funding for SEA Electrical to establish an electrical car factory in the Latrobe Valley and 28 months on, only four people from the Valley are working for the company. file photograph “We have a situation whereby there are only four locals employed by SEA Electric, all located in Dandenong and subsidised by the Latrobe Valley Authority - that’s 496 jobs that have gone missing.”

Member for Morwell Russell Northe said it appeared the project had “fallen over” and wanted the state government to admit it.

“It’s so disappointing that there’s been a distinct lack of communication from the Victorian

government about the status of this very important project,” Mr Northe said.

“I can’t see this project proceeding, but if it is, then give us some details, if not, then own up to it. They’ve just left us with uncertainty. The cone of silence is not good enough.”

A state government spokesperson said they had not provided any financial support to SEA Electric since May 2019.

“We have supported SEA Electric and its promise to deliver jobs for Victoria and the Latrobe Valley in particular,” the spokesperson said.

“While we are disappointed that the company has not yet been able to meet its commitment, our support for their project is contingent on the company meeting milestones set out in the agreement.”

The Express contacted SEA Electric for comment, but they did not respond before deadline.

GP1621489

LOCAL Members of Parliament want the state government to own up to the status of a promised electric vehicle factory in Morwell which was going to provide 500 local jobs.

However, it has been revealed that company SEA Electric was only employing four people from the Latrobe Valley - and these four people were being subsidised to travel to work in Dandenong.

The figure was revealed in a Parliamentary response from Regional Development Minister Mary Anne Thomas, issued last week to Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath.

Ms Bath had previously asked the Minister last June to explain the number of jobs the commercial arrangement with SEA Electric had created.

“In October 2020, SEA Electric reported they had 40 employees, four of which reside in the Latrobe Valley,” Ms Thomas stated in her response.

“The Latrobe Valley Authority has provided funding to SEA Electric to support travel costs of Latrobe Valley workers who travel to the Dandenong factory.”

Premier Daniel Andrews visited Morwell in October 2018 announcing a commercial agreement with SEA Electric to build a factory delivering 500 new jobs in the Latrobe Valley.

“This is all about jobs. We said we would back the Latrobe Valley and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” Mr Andrews said in 2018.

“This investment will see the Latrobe Valley rightly called the capital of electric vehicle manufacturing in Australia.”

The factory was scheduled to be built in 2021 to manufacture 2400 delivery vans and mini buses a year, on a potential site at the Gippsland Logistics Precinct on council-owned land behind Mid Valley.

Latrobe City Council had received state government funding to improve access and infrastructure to activate the logistics precinct.

However, SEA is still working through the process of identifying a site in the Latrobe Valley.

But, Ms Bath hit back, said the project failed to create local jobs or even establish a site, “let alone manufacture one electric vehicle in the Latrobe Valley”.

“This is quite a contrast from telling Latrobe Valley it would become the electric vehicle manufacturing capital of the nation,” Ms Bath said.

THE Latrobe Health Assembly has welcomed 12 new members as a part of its 2021 membership intake.

These community members will play an integral role in acting as a voice for the community as the Latrobe Health Assembly works towards achieving better health outcomes for all living, working and studying in the Latrobe Valley.

The Latrobe Health Assembly, through its diverse membership, brings together community, local health service leaders, health care professionals and relevant government department representatives to identify, develop, test and

GIPPSLAND organic producers are celebrating the arrival of the very first batch of all-Aussie grown and processed certified organic sugar.

The shipment means that West Gippsland organic food producers can now source certified organic sugar from Bundaberg instead of being shoehorned into importing it from India or Brazil.

Two pallets arrived at the Baw Baw Food Hub in Warragul last month to be distributed between Grand Ridge Organics, Sunny Creek Berry Farm and retailer Leongatha Health Foods.

Allambee South producers Grand Ridge Organics will be using the Queensland product to put in its line of jams and marmalade, made from on-farm organic fruit.

“All Australian organic certified food producers have been forced to use imported certified organic sugar because there was none in Australia,” farm manager Richard Nankin said.

“This is has been very annoying as the imported sugar is almost five times the price of Australian grown nonorganic white sugar, so it was a massive cost imposition.”

Grand Ridge Organics produces about a tonne of jam a year, as well relishes, chutneys and pickles - all of which contain various amounts of sugar. It has also upped its domestic content by sourcing Australian-made glass jars instead of importing them from China.

Bundaberg Sugar began producing certified organic sugar in 2018 prompted by demand from retailers and manufacturers, and has plans to upscale its production as the market expands.

Mr Nankin said he had been talks with Bundaberg to supply some organic sugar locally when a commercial shipment was available.

“We thought this was great, we can finally get Australian sugar. We contacted other Gippsland producers to see if they wanted to share in a shipment as we could only get it in bulk,” Mr Rankin said.

Mr Rankin said sourcing domestic organic sugar also tied into their environmental ethos with less food miles or use of chemicals and pesticides in its production.

He said it also meant less reliance on international supply chains.

“Why should we send money off overseas when we can produce it here?” he said.

“It will increase the reliability of supply as there were times when it was not available as it was held up on the docks, there was a shortage for two months with nothing coming into Australia.”

Hall opened in Yinnar

By MICHELLE SLATER

YINNAR has a newly-revamped public gathering place now that the town’s community hall was officially opened last week.

The Yinnar and District Memorial Hall was given a $750,000 facelift with the help of Latrobe City Council funding and a $320,000 Latrobe Valley Authority grant.

Yinnar community member and hall president Glenys Webster described the grand opening as an “emotional day” after she spent the past eight years spearheading the charge for the upgrades.

“The project has had its ups and downs like all projects, but this makes me feel quite emotional. I’ve been driven by passion, we now have a beautiful new room where people can meet,” she said.

“This will connect all the local community groups and if there’s anything important going on, the hall will always be used, and I can only see it being used a lot more now.”

Ms Webster the ageing building was not “fit for purpose” before this renovation. It was built in 1955, but had not been touched since the 1960s.

The upgrades included a new floor, kitchen, insulation and ceiling, a new meeting room, kitchenette

and storage areas, plus a new foyer and amenities including an accessible toilet.

The Yinnar hall had been the venue for an Over60s health and wellbeing class, as well as a possum’s group for young children, school groups, live bands, a local market and emergency services information.

Ms Webster described the hall as an “octopus” that connected people from all over the Latrobe Valley to participate in functions and activities.

“Hopefully we will be able to have cooking classes and even be able to teach children how to cook,” Ms Webster said.

“The hall is the hub of the community and is used by so many groups, and that’s why the many volunteers of Yinnar and district worked so hard to get the facilities to where they are at.”

Latrobe City Mayor Sharon Gibson said local halls were the “lifeblood of country communities”.

“This is especially the case at Yinnar. This hall is where the people of Yinnar come together and celebrate life in the local community,” Cr Gibson said.

“They deserve a hall with a contemporary interior that makes holding events easier and more comfortable.”

Electoral system boost THE federal government will provide $24.4 million to further modernise the Australian electoral system, providing further safeguards to protect the integrity of federal elections and improving services to Australian voters.

The funding will support the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) to expand their use of Electronic Certified Lists (ECLs) in all mobile booths, pre-poll booths and high volume polling locations on election day.

The ECL is a portable electronic device containing the Electoral Roll, which is used to mark off voters at polling booths in real-time.

Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said the funding boost was part of the federal government’s commitment to continuously improving the electoral process in Australia as technology advances.

“This funding will provide the AEC with an additional 500 ECL devices ahead of the next federal election, and an additional 5000 devices for the election after that, to support the development of more efficient voting systems,” he said.

“It will also help the AEC to streamline the voting experience by making it easier to find voters against the correct address, while also providing further safeguards to prevent voter fraud.

“It is another step in assisting the AEC to stay at the forefront of electoral technology, whilst also helping to make the voting process more efficient for Australians.”

Assistant Minister for Electoral Matters Ben Morton said the funding would also support the development of a new secure communications tool for Officers In Charge at polling places, to help connect AEC staff at polling booths around the country.

“As our voting system evolves, it is important that the AEC continues to support Australian voters and these communication tools will increase reporting capabilities and improve logistical coordination,” he said.

“The AEC will pilot the new technology at a number of select locations at the next federal elections and if successful, it will be rolled out to a further 1300 locations for the following election.”

“This is another great step in the process of modernising our electoral system.”

Kinder Tick program A NEW program has been launched to make it easier for parents and carers to find quality kindergarten programs.

Early Childhood Minister Ingrid Stitt recently launched the Kinder Tick initiative, which is being rolled out across Victoria, and aims to identify approved and funded kindergarten programs - ensuring their children are attending the best programs.

Signage will be placed on services that deliver kindergarten programs, whether that’s in a long daycare setting or a standalone kinder.

Only services that meet the following criteria will be eligible to use the kinder tick branding: led by a qualified teacher, provides a play-based learning program and funded by the state government.

Research shows that having qualified teachers and educators plan, deliver and evaluate play-based kindergarten programs leads to better outcomes for children.

Around 2600 early childhood education services across the state will now display and use the Kinder Tick.

The brand makes it easier for families that want their children to attend kinder by identifying long day care and standalone services that offer good quality funded programs.

Staying active: Traralgon senior gym users are looking for more people to join the group. Pictured are Graeme Crawford, Elaine Crawford, Anne Cogan, Barb McLeod, Ken Wells, Ursula Mayze, Nola Amos and Pam Elkington. photograph liam durkin

Be part of the seniors gym TRARALGON senior gym users are on the lookout for more members to join the group.

The group, which attends the gym twice a week, have certainly proven age is no barrier, and are keen to see more people join them for workouts.

Graeme Crawford, who has been with the group since it was set up more than a decade ago, said the benefits of keeping fit were self-evident.

“A lot of people lose their balance as they get older and you find after a few years of going to the gym your balance is a lot better,” he said.

“We do half an hour on all the equipment

in the gym at our own pace, then we get the trainer up in another room.”

The group pays a small fee to use CME Fit on Franklin, Traralgon, which runs sessions relevant to the age group.

Amazingly, the group’s oldest member, 95-year-old Ken Wells, can still lift 60 kilograms and walks up to three kilometres daily.

The sprightly veteran, who didn’t retire until he was 79, said the key to living long was to “keep busy”.

Mr Crawford encouraged anyone interested in joining the group, which also goes on social outings away from the gym, to get in touch.

Small business grants prove a winner LATROBE City Council says it helped to create new opportunities for businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by offering Small Business Grants.

Three rounds of grants have resulted in more than $415,000 being given to a total of 79 businesses in towns and communities throughout the municipality.

The grants were valued at up to $5000, plus GST, and were offered from August 2020 as part of council’s two-phase Business and Community Support Package, worth $1,862,000.

The program has now closed.

The Small Business Grants helped eligible businesses affected by the pandemic to create employment outcomes, generate investment in new opportunities and benefit the community.

The funds could be used for a variety of projects including training and development, marketing

and other professional services, as well as the purchase of equipment and building works.

“Council recognised the financial toll the pandemic was having on businesses and the grants were one of many ways council worked to ease the impact,” Mayor Sharon Gibson said.

“It is heartening to see that with a little bit of help, the successful applicants have been able to adapt and bring their projects to life.

“It is pleasing that council is able to contribute and support the community in such a positive way, particularly in this time of need.”

Grants were awarded after a transparent, open and well governed process.

Easyaz of Morwell received a grant to buy a printer that enables specialist printing.

General manager Marie Womersley was appreciative of the assistance council provided.

Traralgon upgrade is right on track

By LIAM DURKIN

TRARALGON will soon lay claim to having a world-first in the sport of greyhound racing.

Extensive works are currently underway at Glenview Park to construct a one-turn track to aid injury prevention in competing greyhounds.

With animal welfare and safety front of mind, Traralgon Greyhounds Club manager Steve Clarke said it was all systems go to get the new track up and ready.

“It’s an exciting time for greyhound racing and it’s all directed toward safer racing and reducing injuries on track and animal welfare,” he said.

“All these projects that are going on by Greyhound Racing Victoria have one focus in mind and that is the welfare of the dog.

“This track has been designed by the University of Technology Sydney, their specific brief was to reduce injuries and look after greyhounds welfare so they’ve come up with a unique design, it’s a world-first design for this type of track, we’re really excited to be the recipients of it and we just can’t wait to see the dogs running around.

“Our previous track was structurally flawed, so a courageous decision was made

by Greyhound Racing Victoria to close it and to redo it, rather than push a bad project and put animal welfare at risk, GRV decided to cease racing here and come up with something better.”

Although greyhounds haven’t raced at Traralgon since October 2018, Mr Clarke said it was a credit to GRV for their work in seeing the sport retain its presence in the local area.

Many hoops for medical negligence claims

Patients who have been injured due to medical negligence find that they need to overcome many hurdles when making a claim for compensation.

Kirsty Osborne, Associate at Adviceline Injury Lawyers, said that in order for a claim to be successful it must be demonstrated that the medical treatment provided to the injured person did not constitute reasonable medical care; that the negligent treatment caused them an injury; and that the injury suffered is a “significant injury”.

“Collation of the evidence required to prove your case is quite complex and usually requires comment by independent medical specialists,” said Kirsty.

“It is for this reason that we highly recommend having a medical negligence lawyer by your side who can help you navigate the process”.

What are the challenges?

Between 2002 and 2005 every Australian jurisdiction introduced legislation to restrict and cap compensation for injured patients due to a perceived “insurance crisis”.

In Victoria this meant that changes to the Wrongs Act capped the amount of “damages” that could be recovered in medical negligence claims, thereby limiting legal avenues for the injured.

These new laws reduced the number and cost of medical negligence claims - attracting widespread criticism for cutting off compensation to deserving victims. In particular, the requirement to have a “significant injury” meant that people with even quite significant impairments – such as chronic pain syndrome – might not be able to make a claim for general damages.

When general damages are not available, only medical expenses and other financial losses can be claimed.

Despite the legal hoops, many injured patients are still able to claim compensation.

Medical negligence litigation remains an important avenue to relieve the financial burden on injured people, make professionals and hospitals accountable for the quality of their care, and, to some degree, attain justice for victims.

For more information, or to discuss making a claim, contact Morwell lawyer, Kirsty Osborne, on (03) 9321 9988

Have you seen Jackson?

The alleged theft occurred between January 30 and February 2.

Anyone with information about the theft or location of the motorbikes is urged to contact Constable Phoebe Brand at Morwell Police Station at 5131 5000.

Police Beat with Tessa Randello

JACKSON was last seen when he left Latrobe Regional Hospital against medical advice on Thursday, February 25 at 11am.

It is believed Jackson, 28, may be in the Marlo area or East Melbourne.

Police are concerned for his welfare due to a medical condition.

Jackson is described as being 170cm tall, about 80kgs, has dark short hair with a beard and moustache.

He was last seen wearing blue pyjamas or a red shirt.

Anyone with information regarding Jackson’s whereabouts is urged to call Traralgon Police Station on (03) 5172 2700.

Scammers impersonating authorities such as the ATO and police

POLICE are urging people to be cautious after reports of alleged scammers impersonating authorities over the phone.

There have been reports of people receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be Australian Tax Office (ATO) or local police, and claim the person’s tax file number has been hacked or their account has been involved in fraudulent or criminal activity.

The caller then allegedly asks the person to Google the number of their local police station, recite the number and tell the person their local police station will call within five minutes.

A short while later, someone calls from a number that the scammer has falsified to appear as if someone is calling from the person’s local police station.

During this call, the scammer informs them they must move all their funds into a secure ATO account while it is investigated.

Beef cattle taken from paddock in Driffield

EIGHTEEN head of beef cattle were taken from a paddock at the Buckleys Track and Blacks Track in Driffield.

The calves were left behind.

The alleged theft took place between 6.30pm on Friday, February 19 and 7am on Saturday February 20.

The 18 head of beef cattle - Angus and Black Baldy - were on agistment in Driffield. They had been yarded and prepared to be returned to bushfire and drought-stricken Ensay.

A cattle truck would have had to be used to load and remove the cows, they also have a clear freeze brand number 77 on their rump.

Any information regarding the theft can be provided to Detective Senior Constable Myors at Morwell CIU on 5131 5000 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Can you help: Police are looking for Jackson, who was last seen at LRH on Thursday.

The person is then contacted again with instructions to withdraw thousands of dollars and lodge them via an ATM into an account.

Scammers will most often provide their bank details to victims via encrypted messaging services.

The scammers will repeat this process until the victim becomes suspicious or runs out of available funds.

On numerous occasions, people have met with a participant of the scam in person to hand over the money.

Information sought on missing motorbikes

POLICE are investigating the alleged theft of three motorbikes from a shed on a property on Collins Street, Morwell.

The bikes were a Kawasaki KLX450 with registration 4651D, a small orange four-wheeled 50cc bike, and a black CRF50 with red rims.

Have you seen them: These three motorbikes were allegedly stolen from a property in Morwell recently. photographs supplied

Platypus hooked through the bill AUTHORITIES are seeking information about an unattended fishing line late last month in a Gippsland creek, after a platypus that was hooked through the bill.

It is illegal to leave lines unattended in most jurisdictions because they can snag and kill platypus and other wildlife, particularly if left overnight.

Fortunately, the platypus was found at 1am still alive and was eventually taken to a vet to remove the hook.

The animal was determined to be healthy after its ordeal and was released back to the wild.

Anyone who finds unattended fishing line please confiscate it and report to the relevant state/territory fisheries or wildlife hotline.

Last month the Conservation Regulator said it wass investigating the drowning of a platypus found entangled in an illegal commercial fishing net in the Thomson River at the Bruntons Bridge campground, near Walhalla.

Unattended nets and traps in public waterways are dangerous for wildlife including platypus, turtles and rakali (native water rats), due to their underwater foraging behaviour.

The platypus was listed as a vulnerable species by the state government in January.

AN innovative new $1.5 million training package funded by the state government will give disability and aged care students real-life skills to prepare them for the workforce.

The package is part of the Developing the Growing new NDIS (psychosocial disability) Workforce Project and includes virtual reality learning tools, videos and podcasts that place users in a series of realistic scenarios.

Psychosocial disabilities sometimes arise from mental health issues and create severe social disadvantages, including restricting a person’s ability to concentrate, participate in certain environments and interact with others.

The new training package will also collect data on the students emotional and physical responses that will help improve their learning experience.

It was designed by the complex mental health and disability service provider ermha365 in partnership with Wodonga TAFE and Mental Health Victoria.

Ermha365 chief executive Karenza Louis-Smith explained the company was currently undertaking an in-house pilot program before the resources are trailed at Wodonga TAFE and Monash University mid-2021.

“We’re excited to be at the forefront of innovative training that will help grow a highly skilled workforce in disability and aged care,” she said.

The tools will then be rolled-out to all Victorian TAFEs that offer the Certificate IV in Disability course, including TAFE Gippsland, and to providers, to be used during the recruitment process.

The state government says it has invested $868.6 million into mental health support and programs as part of the Victorian Budget 2020/21.

New standards to help power system COMPULSORY new standards are on the way for household energy technologies that connect to the power system, such as solar panels, the Australian Energy Market Commission announced last week.

AEMC chief executive officer Benn Barr said the new minimum technical standards were part of a raft of changes being looked at to future-proof the power system so it could confidently handle more solar.

“The rapid uptake of solar means we must act now to make sure this technology and the system it uses work hand in hand,” he said.

“We need to keep pace with the change underway - nearly three million households and small businesses have taken up solar, and the demand for household batteries and electric vehicles will increase over time.

“These new standards allow us to do two

important things at once - welcome more new technologies into the power system and at the same time help protect grid stability. The more we keep the system stable, the more solar we can connect up and the faster we can decarbonise.”

The new standards will apply to “inverters” - equipment that converts direct current to alternating current in order for electrical devices to function.

They will ensure that household energy systems won’t ‘trip’ or disconnect when there are voltage disturbances on the network.

The change is forward looking rather than retrospective, and so will apply only to new and upgraded systems rather than existing ones.

It applies to all jurisdictions in the national electricity market and will take effect from December 2021. Many manufacturers have already begun to upgrade their systems after similar changes were introduced in South Australia in late 2020.

The work is part of an ongoing and larger-scale project to embed solar and other distributed energy resources into the overall power system.

Other changes being considered by the AEMC include how to change the pricing structure to give incentives to owners of distributed energy resources to export power when it is of most value to the system. The Energy Security Board is also considering the issue of integrating distributed energy resources, with recommendations for public consultation due next month.

“It’s imperative that we make sure the right structures are put in place to support a whole new energy mix and a very different looking power grid than the one we’ve relied on in the past,” Mr Barr said.

“But we need to do this in a way that helps more people to connect, protects those that don’t, and helps the system run smoothly overall.This means

International Women’s Day event

GIPPSLAND women will be encouraged to challenge the status quo at a major International Women’s Day event in Warragul on March 9.

Women in Gippsland and Baw Baw Shire Council have again partnered to celebrate the achievements and amplify the voices of local women.

International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while calling for gender equity and an end to gender-based discrimination and violence.

A diverse range of speakers will explore this year’s International Women’s Day theme, Choose to Challenge, in a jam-packed night at West Gippsland Arts Centre - sharing how they have challenged the status quo.

Keynote speaker Sarah Davidson is a lawyer turned entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and former Warragul resident.

Sarah’s podcast, Seize the Yay, explores the difference between success and happiness and how women can reclaim their ‘yay’.

Cr Jazmin Tauru - one of the youngest councillors in Victoria - will share how she chose to challenge by standing for Council, and winning a seat, in the 2020 Council Election at just 21.

The panel, led by Beyond the Fire documentary maker Danielle McAlpine Johnson, will include Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano, 2020 Shine Award nominee Joy Heenan, Latrobe Valley Enterprises chief executive officer Wendy Bezzina, and Multicultural Strategic Engagement Coordinator, Farhat Firdous.

The event kicks off from 5:30pm with networking, music, platters and market stalls, before doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start.

Tickets are just $14, to represent Australia’s current gender pay gap of 14 per cent and all proceeds go to not-for-profit Women in Gippsland to continue its event and advocacy work.

FOR 28 years the iconic Cancer Council event Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea has brought together millions of Australians to support people affected by cancer.

The official day to host a morning tea in 2021 is Thursday, May 27, but events can be held any time during May or June.

By hosting an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event - either in-person or virtually - participants will help Cancer Council continue our life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most loved event of its kind in the country, attracting more than 4200 hosts each year.

People can register to host an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event by heading to biggestmorningtea. com.au or calling 1300 65 65 85 to receive a free morning tea host kit.

Due to current circumstances, Cancer Council encourages all to follow the recommended guidelines provided by the Australian Government.

Details regarding Cancer Council fundraising events may change as circumstances change.

For more information and support regarding cancer and COVID-19, please visit cancervic.org.au.

Anyone unable to host a morning tea can still get involved by donating directly to Cancer Council via biggestmorningtea.com.au.

restructuring the system, including the market incentives and rules.”

The standards follow a rule change request from the Australian Energy Market Operator seeking to set up a framework for AEMO to set minimal technical standards.

The AEMC has decided to use existing rules and industry frameworks rather than establishing a new set of arrangements, because it will be faster and less costly to implement. This means the standards will more quickly be able to address the concerns of the Energy Security Board and AEMO about the impact that inverters tripping can have on the total power system.

The December launch date will mean manufacturers will have enough time to prepare for the change.

The new framework will also be flexible, so that changes to the Australian standards over time will automatically apply.

Celebrating da Vinci

AN international exhibition of the likes never seen in Latrobe City opened at the weekend.

Latrobe Regional Gallery at Morwell is hosting the exhibition Da Vinci Machines until April 25, 2021.

The event features the machines and art designed by one of the world’s greatest minds - Leonardo da Vinci.

Visitors will be in awe of the more than 60 interactive machines created from original da Vinci drawings of iconic inventions such as the bicycle, scuba suit, spring-powered car and flying machines.

Among da Vinci’s innovations are fearinspiring machines of war like the tank, automatons (the precursors to robots), nautical, hydraulic and architectural tools, and ground-breaking applications of civil engineering.

There will also be a set of life-size replicas of iconic da Vinci paintings, including the famous Mona Lisa, and activities such as art lessons and inventing sessions for children, life drawing, a family fun day on Saturday, March 27 and late night trading every Friday night until 8pm.

“Latrobe City Council is proud to be hosting Da Vinci Machines, an international exhibition that is now here in Morwell for the enjoyment of Latrobe City residents, and visitors from across Gippsland and even Melbourne,” Mayor Sharon Gibson said.

“Da Vinci is one of the most well recognised minds in human history and his creations intrigue people from across the generations, from art lovers and makers to machine and motor enthusiasts, individuals and families.

“I’m delighted that entry to the exhibition is free and there is assistance with travel to ensure as many people as possible can view this spectacular show.”

Wonderful exhibition: Latrobe Regional Gallery is hosting Da Vinci Machines until April 25.

The machines were made in Italy by the acclaimed Artisans of Florence in collaboration with The Niccolai Group.

The exhibition is based around themes: War Machines, Robotics, Flying Machines, Nautical and Hydraulic Machines, Civil Machines and the Art Gallery.

The exhibition will be complemented by a schools program, families program and public program.

Additional support from the Latrobe Valley Authority and the Department of Transport will ensure everyone can access this opportunity.

While entry is free, visitors are advised to book ahead to guarantee entry.

Visitors are only admitted at set timeslots and the number of people attending each

timeslot is limited. Visitors will need to sign in with a QR code.

Book online at: https://latroberegionalgallery.com/davinci/ Visitors can request a guided group tour by contacting the Gallery at least one week prior.

The exhibition presents an ideal opportunity for the community to experience an event in a COVIDSafe manner, where social distancing, patron flow and other COVIDSafe requirements will be adhered to.

Latrobe City is hoping this special event will draw visitors from afar to Morwell who will stay in the Valley overnight and see other attractions in the region, thereby supporting local accommodation providers and businesses.

Success: Destination Gippsland’s ‘Gippsland: All kinds of wonder’ campaign provides an opportunity for the region to represent itself as a ‘nature plus’ destination, allowing the campaign to showcase natural assets, as well as food and wine experiences and cultural and event tourism. file photograph

The wonder of Gippsland DESTINATION Gippsland is continuing to promote Gippsland through initiatives including the Little Wonders campaign - a series of 15 and 30 second videos highlighting small moments spent in Gippsland’s National Parks, beaches, hiking and cycling trails, arts and culture nooks, breweries and wineries.

Designed to help tourism businesses recover from the events of 2020, the campaign included the screening of videos during the 2021 Australian Open tennis tournament and one of its lead-up tournament, the 2021 Gippsland Trophy.

According to Destination Gippsland, the overall objective is to drive increased overnight visitation,

to increase frequency to visit and dispersal throughout the region.

The television and print media campaign will continue into March, encouraging visitors to reconnect with family, friends and themselves, by taking time out to discover Gippsland’s range of visitor experiences.

These experiences form the basis of the campaign content, and collectively form Gippsland’s Little Wonders.

The latest initiative is a result of brand tweaking.

Destination Gippsland undertook a major review of the brand Gipps ‘All Kinds of Wonder’ Land, initiating a new refreshed brand in 2019.

The new brand provides an opportunity for Gippsland to represent itself in line with consumer trends and moves from the concept of ‘nature only’ to ‘nature plus’ allowing the campaign to showcase natural assets, as well as food and wine experiences and cultural and event tourism.

Destination Gippsland says the new flexible approach was developed after rigorous consumer research and market testing, providing a new way for Gippsland to present itself with a distinctive competitive advantage over other destinations, and inviting target audiences to find new ways to discover the region.

EXPANDED use of school buses in rural and regional Victoria is the focus of a new public inquiry which is seeking community input.

The Legislative Council’s Economy and Infrastructure Committee is considering whether the wider public should have access to school buses, so they have more opportunity to travel.

“This inquiry will look at the transport disadvantages experienced by rural and regional Victorians, particularly youth, the elderly and low-income households,” Committee Chair Enver Erdogan said.

“We would like to hear from as many people as possible across our state so we can get a true picture of the transport limitations faced by rural and regional Victorians,” he said.

“Their experiences will be important as we seek to understand how school buses could be used to get more people connected socially and economically.”

The Committee will analyse evidence from other jurisdictions, locally and overseas, showing the impact of expanding the school bus system.

Mr Erdogan is encouraging parents to have their say as the inquiry considers any existing or potential barriers to allowing public access to the school bus network.

“Input from parents will help guide this inquiry, particularly in relation to important issues such as child safety,” he said.

The inquiry will also look at the cost of extending mainstream school buses to the general public and how a fare system would work.

Once submissions have been received public hearings will be held to hear from witnesses and gauge the views and experiences of people in rural and regional communities.

The inquiry is due to hand down a final report before the end of the year.

To make a submission visit the Committee’s website - www.parliament.vic.gov.au/eic-lc/ article/4614.

For beef lovers, there are degrees of cooking which provide a range of preferences: rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done. These are the degrees of doneness, and are determined by the beef’s colour, juiciness and internal temperature when cooked.

Can you master the touch test?

With a pair of tongs, (or a clean finger) press the outside centre of your beef lightly to judge its degree of doneness.

Ross River virus warning VICTORIANS are being warned to protect themselves from mosquito bites with increased numbers of cases of Ross River virus notified to the Department of Health this past summer.

Victoria’s Executive Director for Communicable Disease, Dr Bruce Bolam, said there have been 448 cases of Ross River virus across the state to February 25.

In a typical year, about 200 cases are notified to the department.

In contrast, almost 2000 cases were notified in 2017 after widespread springtime flooding in late-2016 created massive mosquito breeding sites.

This summer, the majority of the cases have been in residents of the Surf Coast, Bellarine and East Gippsland areas.

A viral infection transmitted through mosquito bites, Ross River virus disease occurs throughout most regions of Australia, particularly around inland waterways and coastal regions.

Heavy rainfall, floods, high tides and warm weather increase mosquito numbers, resulting in higher numbers of cases.

Dr Bolam said the early summer conditions, particularly in coastal areas, were conducive to mosquito breeding.

The virus is passed between mosquitoes and certain animals, such as wallabies and kangaroos.

Infected mosquitoes can then bite people, making them unwell.

Symptoms of Ross River virus can include fever, rash, headache, aching muscles and/or joints and fatigue. People experiencing symptoms should seek medical attention from their GP. Onset of symptoms may be from 2 to 14 days following a bite from an infected mosquito. There is no evidence that Ross River virus can be spread directly from one person to another.

Many local councils work routinely with the department to monitor and limit mosquito numbers.

Around 12 councils currently participate in the state mosquito-borne disease program and receive funding for mosquito surveillance and vector control.

Mosquito traps are set up in the field, and the mosquitoes that are caught are sent to Melbourne for testing.

“When mosquito numbers are high, and the lab detects virus in these mosquitoes, there might be an increased risk of acquiring Ross River virus

Be aware: Victorians are being warned to protect themselves from mosquito bites with increased numbers of cases of Ross River virus notified to the Department of Health this past summer.

in the coming days if the weather conditions are favourable,” Dr Bolam said.

“Mosquitoes need stagnant water to breed, but they also prefer mild, calm, and more humid air to fly and bite.”

Dr Bolam said people can take simple steps to avoid bites and protect themselves and their family against mosquito-borne diseases.

“Victorian mosquitoes can be active throughout the day, but the peak period is often around the late afternoon and into the evening as well as around dawn and dusk,” he said.

“Everyone is encouraged to wear long, loose fitting clothes and use repellents containing picaridin

or DEET on exposed skin. People should ensure that insect screens fitted to doors and windows around the home are in good condition.

“Mosquito numbers can be reduced by getting rid of stagnant water around the home or campsites.

Mosquitoes will breed in any receptacle that can hold water, including old tyres, fish ponds, unmaintained swimming pools, unsealed water tanks and pot plant holders.”

A range of information relating to protecting against mosquito bites is available on the Beat the Bite campaign page on the Better Health Channel.

For ways to beat the bite, visit www.betterhealth. vic.gov.au/campaigns/beat-the-bite.

Neighbourhood battery trial to maximise benefits of rooftop solar THE state government will support trials of neighbourhood-scale batteries to maximise the unprecedented uptake in rooftop solar and empower communities to take control of their energy.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing has announced that the $3 million Neighbourhood Battery Initiative is open, inviting applications for neighbourhood-scale battery projects from local investors, businesses, community groups and other interested parties.

Neighbourhood-scale batteries can provide a range of benefits to electricity users, networks and Victorian communities.

Importantly, they can play a valuable role in supporting residential solar systems by soaking up excess solar output during the day which can then be dispatched in the evening, when it is needed most.

Victoria’s Solar Homes Program has seen record levels of rooftop solar systems installed.

About 20 per cent of Victorian households have solar panels and that is expected to grow to 50 per cent by 2030.

Neighbourhood-scale batteries could maximise the power generated by the hundreds of thousands of solar systems across the state.

The NBI is part of the $1.6 billion clean energy package announced in the 2020-2021 Victorian Budget.

The package will deliver household and business energy efficiency initiatives, improve crucial grid infrastructure, drive down emissions and support more Solar Homes.

A consultation paper that seeks feedback from stakeholders about the deployment of neighbourhood batteries will be released alongside the application guidelines via the Engage Victoria website.

Applications for the NBI close on April 11, 2021.

Find out more or submit an application at energy.vic.gov.au/new-energy-technologies.

Not even a pandemic was going to get in the way of the spectacular spectacle of the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. While there may be some differences to keep spectators and performers at the SCG safe, the glitz, glamour and utter fabulousness will not be compromised.

Courtney Act (pictured), Joel Creasey, Narelda Jacobs and Zoë Coombs Marr make up the fab four in the commentary box as the hosts of this year’s event.

And fittingly, the theme of this year’s event is “rise”.

La Niña reduces state’s bushfire risk

Fire restrictions still apply: The influence of La Niña on the state’s climate has had a noticeable effect on fire potential in Victoria, with above average summer rainfall leading to a reduced bushfire risk for autumn. photograph supplied

THE influence of La Niña on the state’s climate has had a noticeable effect on fire potential in Victoria, with above average summer rainfall leading to a reduced bushfire risk for autumn.

According to the latest Australian Seasonal Outlook for autumn released last week, above average summer rainfall has occurred over much of Victoria, with daily maximum temperatures below average across the south, and average across the north of the state.

These conditions have led to reduced fire activity in both grasslands and forests, with a cumulative area burnt of 6,800 hectares to date this summer, compared to the 10-year annual average burnt per year of 252,026 hectares.

The Australian Seasonal Outlook for autumn was developed by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre, Bureau of Meteorology, and relevant state fire and land managers.

So far this fire season - from December 1, 2020 to now, the state has seen 1955 bush, grass, and scrub fires.

This compares to 3342 from summer 2019-2020 and 2548 from 2018-2019.

“We’re pleased that this fire season has been significantly milder than last year’s and welcome the opportunity for FFMVic and CFA crews to carry out planned burning to take place in many parts of Victoria much earlier than in recent years,” CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said.

“However, we also remind all Victorians that

the whole state is still under fire restrictions, so make sure you visit firepermits.vic.gov.au if you’re wanting to undertake any burning on private property.

“We also urge Victorians to stay informed about conditions and keep their bushfire plan up to date as we can still see some days of elevated fire danger well into autumn. If you have a plan, you can act to survive.”

The autumn outlook also predicts below normal fire potential in wet forests and many foothill forests in Victoria due to higher than normal soil moisture levels limiting the flammability of vegetation or fuels.

Preparations by the emergency management sector for the 2020-2021 bushfire season saw an increase in planning for the risk of fire and extreme weather, with the added complexity of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Despite the autumn outlook indicating a lower bushfire potential, there will still likely be days of elevated fire danger. Victorians should never be complacent when planning and preparing for the risk of fire and severe weather.

Emergency Management Victoria will continue to work closely with the emergency services sector to ensure the safety of communities across the state, beyond the summer fire season.

Maeco

“I must be doing something right, we’ve been here over 40 years”. That’s the message Brett Edwards has about his mechanical repair workshop.

He started at Maeco over 30 years ago, took over from his father approximately 15 years later, and he’s still there on Langford Street, Moe. Part of his success has been his ability to service such a wide range of cars, from vintage gems to high performance vehicles and stock standard family machines. He treats every customer equally, no matter whether they’ve got the keys to a Torana or a Tiida.

He’s an expert in exhaust upgrades, repairs and replacements and can supply and fit

batteries, tow bars and whatever else your car may need. Brett can also do EFI diagnostics and repairs, as well as log book services which can save you from having to go to a car dealership to get done.

It’s important to keep your car up to scratch, as a well-maintained vehicle is a reliable, safe and a fuel-efficient mode of transport. Keeping brakes in check is perhaps the most important thing you can do to watch your safety, and it’s wise to have the brake system inspected twice a year.

Phone Maeco on 5127 6433 to find out more about how to look after your motor vehicle. The workshop is at 46 Langford Street, Moe and is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm MECHANICAL

Australians anywhere can get involved and ride for two weeks in many different ways, on the road, in the gym, as an individual, with a friend or as part of a virtual team.

The best part is, participants can set their own target and track their kilometres using their Fitbit or Strava and connect their app of choice to their online fundraising page.

Chief executive officer Deborah Thomas says Camp Quality’s Big Ride for Little Kids is a great way to raise much needed funds for kids facing cancer while enjoying a favourite sporting activity.

“2020 was a very difficult year for kids facing cancer who endured a next level of isolation due to COVID. So they need our help now more than ever to finally take a break and be kids again.

“We have 8900 kids facing cancer registered for one of our services and programs including our Kids and Family Camps that provide an opportunity for these kids to get away from it all. Funds raised from Big Ride for Little Kids will help us continue to offer these vital programs.”

So get a head start in 2021, make your RPMs count and put your heart (rate) into it.

Baw Baw Shire residents can have their say

BAW Baw Shire is calling on the community to share their ideas and aspirations for the shire over the next 30 years.

Over the coming months, residents will have a range of opportunities to design a Community Vision for the Shire, which directly guides the development of the Council Plan 2021-2025 and Financial Plan 2021-31.

This is an essential part of the Local Government Act 2020, requiring all Victorian Councils to work closely with their community to design a Community Vision.

There are three ways to contribute to the Community Vision, including: ■ Completing a community survey, which will be available from March 1 to April 2.

■ Registering your interest to participate in a focus group, to be held in March.

■ Applying to join the Community Panel, which will bring together 40 community members to consider the insights from the focus groups and survey in detail over five sessions.

Community members are encouraged to be involved and consider the following key questions: ■ What are your long-term goals and priorities for Baw Baw Shire?

■ What would you like to stay the same?

■ What would you like to change?

■ What does Baw Baw Shire need to prioritise to achieve this vision?

All members of the community will have the opportunity to be involved and everyone in the shire - young and old, new residents and long-standing alike - are encouraged to share their priorities and make their opinions heard to build a genuine Community Vision for Baw Baw. More information, including how to register your interest for the focus groups, can be found at www.bawbawshire.vic.gov/CommunityVision

Improving safety on the state’s farms

THE state government says a new scheme will aim to make Victorian farms safer for workers, families and visitors.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas recently launched the $3 million Farm Safety Rebate Scheme, which will provide a rebate of up to $5000 per farm for infrastructure and equipment to address health and safety risks on farms.

The agriculture sector is overly represented in workplace fatality statistics, making up less than two per cent of Victoria’s workforce, but accounting for 14 per cent of workplace deaths.

This scheme recognises that those at risk of injury or death on Victorian farms are not just farmers, but also families, employees, suppliers and contractors.

Some examples of equipment and infrastructure that are eligible for the rebate include child safety fencing, animal handling equipment, dedicated chemical storage sheds and wash stations, emergency shut off switches and reversing cameras for tractors and vehicles.

Ms Thomas said safety on farms was paramount.

“Farms are workplaces but they’re also homes - we want to make sure that everyone that steps onto a farm gets to return home safely,” she said.

“Too many people are killed or injured on farms each year. This new program is an easy way to make simple adjustments to farms so they’re safer, and workers can carry on with peace of mind.”

The state government is supporting farm businesses to take the lead in making practical changes to their workplaces and improving the sector’s focus on safety.

A safe and healthy sector means more resilient communities in rural and regional Victoria and an even better place to work.

The scheme is a key part of delivering Smarter, Safer Farms, a commitment to improve safety and skills for Victorian farmers, and position agriculture as a career of choice.

The Farm Safety Rebate Scheme closes on December 31, 2021 or when all funds are allocated.

Check out your eligibility AN online vaccination eligibility tool has been launched to provide Australians with access to real time information about when they may be able to access their COVID-19 vaccination.

The Australasian College of Pharmacy in partnership with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia launched getmycovidvax.com.au last week.

The simple digital tool asks people a series of questions, and gives information on which phase of the federal government’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout they may be able to receive their vaccine.

The guild’s Queensland branch president and senior national vice president, Professor Trent Twomey, said the tool was created to raise community awareness of the vaccine’s roll out phases, and to ensure greater community confidence in the rollout.

“We’ve already had Australians presenting at community pharmacies across the country asking when they can receive their COVID-19 vaccine, this tool enables people to better understand the phased roll-out and empower patients to make informed vaccination decisions,” he said.

“We work each and every day in our local communities and this eligibility tool is yet another way of ensuring we serve our community and provide them with clear and concise information.

“The eligibility tool is free-of-charge and will notify Australians of any changes to the rollout schedule. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, community pharmacies have been at the forefront supporting Australian patients.

Key features of the online tool include a ‘push’ feature keeping Australians updated to any changes to their eligibility, and a reminder when their phase is commencing.

Importantly, once Phase 2A begins, the tool will assist in providing information to patients on obtaining their vaccination, including how to make an appointment.

GippsTech chief wins major award IN recognition of her efforts to improve regional innovation and support for Gippsland entrepreneurs and founders, GippsTech chief executive officer Dr Elena Kelareva has been awarded the Super Connector Award, as part of the 2020 Pause Awards by Pause Fest.

The Super Connector award honours the significant contribution that Dr Kelareva has made to her many clients and the community.

Dr Kelareva has a passion for growing start-up and tech communities in regional areas, and helping to create regional jobs.

She has been the instigator and driving force behind the Startup Gippsland and Work My Own Way programs, to support regional founders and small business owners to build and grow their businesses.

She also co-founded and grew Binary Shift into a leading regional innovation conference, and she co-founded the Herd Coworking Space in Warragul to create a hub for the region’s entrepreneurs and innovators to connect and work.

GippsTech, which is a social enterprise, investing 50 per cent of its profits back into the Gippsland community, is also home to both large and small scale innovation, technology, and digital projects.

“To me, being a super connector is about bringing people together to create something that’s bigger than any one of us. As a founder, I’ve been able to connect six local government areas, mentors and business owners, and start-up organisations, such as Startup Onramp, to collaborate, create, and deliver one of the biggest start-up programs in Regional Australia.

community pharmacies are part of the vaccination rollout from phase 2A. Not all Australians living in regional and remote areas may have access to a GP to get access to vaccinations, which is why it is so critical that all primary healthcare professionals are involved and access to the COVID-19 vaccine is as broad as possible.”

Her eyes are now set on launching new programs that will take start-ups to the next level.

“A problem often seen in many regional areas is the lack of technology-based skills or resources within the community,” Dr Kelareva said.

“Startup Gippsland’s new Tech Startup Skills Program will not only teach non-technical founders the basics of how they can use technology to grow and scale their business, but give them access to a wider variety of resources and people who can help them build their businesses.”

Pause Fest is one of the biggest digital and innovation events in Australia, focused on bringing diverse intelligence together to fuel the next generation. In 2020, they welcomed 9000 attendees and 10,000 viewers with over 80 media outlets from across the world.

During the course of 10 years, Pause Fest has seen more than 80,000 change-makers come through its doors. This marked the third edition of the Pause Awards - an exclusive Australia-wide competition that celebrates future builders through their impact in business and society.

These awards were all about showcasing the many businesses and individuals that focused on adapting and harnessing their innovation visions during such unprecedented times, to make an impact on the industry, community, society, and the ecosystem as a whole.

“I’m really happy to see Elena win this Pause Award for the important work she’s doing in the regional Victoria ecosystem development. Well done,” Pause Fest founder and chief executive officer George Hedon said.

All the fun of Moomba will be on show for Victorians

Collection season begins

Season now underway: Firewood collectors across Gippsland are being urged to start planning their firewood needs as part of the opening of the autumn collection season. photograph supplied FIREWOOD collectors across Gippsland are being urged to start planning their firewood needs as part of the opening of the autumn collection season.

From today, designated firewood collection areas will open across Victoria, allowing communities to gather wood for personal use.

“We are anticipating an increased demand for firewood this autumn due to a range of impacts, including the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the 2019/20 bushfires,” Forest Fire Management Victoria Gippsland’s Deputy Chief Fire Officer Geoff Conway said.

“We are urging people who rely on firewood for heating and cooking to consider all energy options, including purchasing firewood from local merchants selling legally obtained wood.

Financial assistance is also available for people on low incomes who purchase firewood or wish to transition to other energy sources.”

“Where firewood supply is scarce, priority access can be given to particular sections of the community such as local residents,Traditional Owners and those who depend on firewood for heating.This is managed at a regional level, so local factors can be accounted for,” Mr Conway said.

“In Gippsland, firewood collection areas are

being more realistically mapped for the benefit of communities to reflect where firewood can be practically and legally collected.

“Many firewood collection areas have changed from block areas to linear roadside areas where firewood can be collected within 50 metres of a road.

“There will be firewood available in some districts in VicForests coupes and along fuel breaks and planned burn boundaries for a short time before the planned burning program starts in those areas.

“Please note that there are no domestic firewood collection areas available south of the Princes Highway in Latrobe District in autumn 2021.

“We want to remind the community that firewood can only be taken from designated collection areas in State forests or parks during approved collection seasons and is for personal use only and cannot be sold.

“Designated collection areas are selected for a range of reasons including the availability of firewood, community safety, and to protect sites of cultural and environmental significance.

“It’s important to stay within collection limits, which are in place to prevent households stockpiling large volumes of firewood from public land and denying others a supply.

“Collection limits include taking a maximum of two cubic metres per person per day and a maximum of 16 cubic metres per household per financial year.

“The felling of trees and cutting of hollow logs for firewood is also prohibited. Hollow logs and dead trees provide critical habitat for a wide variety of native species.”

In addition to collecting firewood safely, remember to be COVIDSafe. - wear a fitted face mask, follow physical distancing directions, use hand sanitiser and observe group size limits.

Firewood collection from roadsides is managed by local government agencies and usually requires a permit. Residents are encouraged to contact their local councils directly for further details.

Under the Forest Act 1958, people who collect firewood outside designated collection areas or season or take more than the maximum allowable amounts can face fines of up to $8,261, or a maximum penalty of one-year imprisonment or both, if the matter goes to court.

The autumn season closes on June 30.

Further information, including interactive online maps, will be available once the season opens at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood

Fed Govt plan would weigh down super likely future government would need to hike taxes to meet this bulging pension burden.

Ripping away the promised super increase leaves workers worse off, despite the increased pension costs.

Today’s average earning 30-year-old couple would still lose $160,000 in retirement income, even after the taxpayer had been forced to tip in an extra $83,000 from the pension.

Figures from the federal government’s own Retirement Income Review reveal ditching the increase would leave all income groups with lower lifetime disposable incomes.

A plan to make the increases optional, forcing workers to pay for their own wage increase from their retirement savings, would also add $20,000 to the tax bill of an Australian couple on average earnings, because wages are taxed at a higher

rate than super contributions. But the increased pension costs surpass any additional tax revenue.

“Dumping the legislated increase in the SG will unequivocally leave Australians with less private savings at retirement and more reliant on the publicly funded age pension,” Industry Super Australia deputy chief executive officer Matthew Linden said.

“There is no free lunch, for every dollar taken out of super early the taxpayer has to pay back even more in higher pension costs - that’s why if the government opts-out of super it opts-in to higher taxes.”

“This short-sighted policy will leave workers tens of thousands worse off and a huge pension bill that we will have to pay through higher taxes.”

A MOOTED plan by the federal government to renege on the legislated increase in the super guarantee would add a whopping $33 billion to age pension costs over coming decades, modelling by actuarial firm Rice Warner reveals.

Plans to either ditch the increase or make the legislated increases opt-in would increase taxes and leave taxpayers on the hook for tens of billions in extra welfare spending.

As more people retire without the benefit of the legislated super boost, pension costs climb up billions each year - rising to an extra $33.3 billion (in today’s dollars) over the period to 2058.

In addition, the projected $3.4 billion added to the Age Pension bill in 2058 will continue to grow significantly beyond that.

Australia’s ageing population means there are fewer taxpayers for every pensioner, making it

VICTORIANS will be encouraged to show their love for the city during this year’s Moomba Festival, with floral love heart displays popping up across Melbourne.

Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp last week provided additional details on the Moomba 2.0 festival program, with events taking place at Alexandra Gardens, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and across the city from Friday, March 5 to Monday, March 8.

The Moomba Carnival at Alexandra Gardens will feature smaller rides for the kids, and thrilling rides for teenagers and adults as well as food trucks and live performances.

There will be hot dogs, fairy floss and some healthy options too.

“Moomba 2.0 will be different this year but we are encouraging all Melburnians to come into the city and discover everything that is on offer during the long weekend,” Cr Capp said.

“Some traditions never die and we are excited to reveal our 2021 Moomba Monarchs very soon.

There will be food trucks, rides for the kids and live performances happening across the city.

“The floral heart displays will help to capture the community spirit that’s at the heart of the Moomba Festival.

“We are committed to doing whatever we can to support the economic and cultural revitalisation of Marvellous Melbourne.”

The Riverslide Skate Park in the Carnival precinct will host the Australian Skateboard League National Final where you can watch experienced skaters, scooters and BMX riders compete across the weekend.

Basketball lovers can enjoy the NBL 3x3 Hustle, register for a Community Hustle game, or catch the pros in an NBL Legends Game on Star Lawn, also in the Alexandra Gardens Carnival precinct.

Entry to all activity in Alexandra Gardens is free, but session times must be pre-booked via the Moomba website.

Along with the carnival at Alexandra Gardens, a ‘Love Melbourne, Love Moomba’ theme will be displayed at some of Melbourne’s most iconic locations.

Significant buildings will be lit up in red to encourage everyone to show their love for Melbourne, while large floral love heart displays will pop up at Melbourne Town Hall, Bourke Street Mall, the State Library of Victoria and more locations.

The festival will also show its love for Melbourne with a light installation of a gigantic beating heart placed before the city’s skyline along the banks of the Yarra on the Upper Terrace of Birrarung Marr.

Other activity around town during Moomba Long Weekend includes a busking competition in the city where the winner will receive a ‘golden ticket’ to Melbourne’s best events.

There will be pop-up music performances and street art installations around the city.

In partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne, the City of Melbourne will be bringing live music and entertainment to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl stage across the Moomba Long Weekend.

Featured artists include The Cat Empire along with Kids at the Bowl with Jimmy Giggle, Justine Clarke and Dan Sultan.

You will notice a difference: Local footballers will need to be aware of two changes to the Laws of Australian Football this season. file photograph

Footy’s new law changes FOOTBALL

LOCAL footballers will need to be aware of two changes to the Laws of Australian Football this season.

There has been a change to the rule concerning the player standing the mark and the location of the mark at kick ins.

From now on the defending player will only be permitted minimal lateral movement on the mark. If the defending player moves off the mark in any direction prior to play on being called, a 50

metre penalty will apply. The defensive team is also unable to substitute the player on the mark.

For kick ins, the mark is now set at 15 metres from the centre of the kick-off line towards the centre of the ground.

This was previously set at 10 metres.

The new laws follow a raft of changes that occurred for the 2019 season, which included abolishing players needing to kick the ball to themselves to play on at kick ins and being able to snap or checkside a set shot after the siren.

Big day: St Kilda footballer and Traralgon product Tim Membrey (pictured second from left) was back home recently, enjoying a round of golf with Traralgon Golf Club members and St Killda teammates.

Membrey’s trip home FOOTBALL

ST KILDA forward Tim Membrey was back home recently, enjoying a round of golf with teammates and members of Traralgon Golf Club.

The new Saints vice captain brought teammates Jack Lonnie and Brad Crouch along for the ride, as well as St Kilda co-captain Jack Steele.

Membrey played football for Traralgon, including the 2011 senior premiership, before being drafted to Sydney in 2012.

After playing one game with the Swans, who were the reigning AFL premier at the time, he was traded to

St Kilda where to date he has played 110 games and kicked 189 goals and won the club goal kicking three times.

Gippsland has a strong connection to St Kilda, with a number of players forging strong careers in the red, white and black.

Fellow Traralgon export Brendon Goddard played 205 games with St Kilda, while Jason Gram (Sale) played 154.

Others Gippsland players to make their way to St Kilda have been Andrew McQualter, Robert Eddy, Brett Knowles, Shane Birss and Leo Connolly.

Shot: Neil Meredith in action for the Gippsland Goannas against Sunbury/Macedon Ranges.

Goannas win again VETERANS CRICKET

THE Legends bus departed Sale very early, collecting Goannas from Traralgon and Morwell, to head to the beautiful town of Macedon.

The Gippsland Goannas Over-60 cricket team were drawn to play away against the Sunbury/Macedon Ranges Veterans Cricket team.

The ground at the Tony Clarke Rec Reserve was in excellent condition, and a new artificial wicket had been laid earlier in the season.

The Goannas won the toss and batted first, with a pleasant breeze blowing down the ground, and the sun shining.

Ray Smith and Fred Debono opened and Smith (unusually) edged a ball into his stumps in the second over.

Col Carmody joined Fred and they took the score steadily to 28 after 10 overs.

Both were out when the score was 53, in consecutive overs, Debono for 19 and Carmody for 21.

Peter Anton and Neil Meredith came together, but Meredith was caught behind for seven and the score was 4/72 after 20 overs.

Ken Bailey came to the crease, and put on 38 with Anton, when Pete was caught for 29.

Kevin Lanigan joined Bailey and the scoring rate accelerated, the Goannas reaching 5/131 at the 30 over mark.

Bailey retired for a well-made 41, Lanigan was caught in the deep for 26, Ian Gibson, 11 not out, and Ray Floyd, 15, were the best of the rest as the Goannas finished their innings at 8/186 after 40 overs.

The conditions were still very pleasant as the SMR team started their innings after the lunch break.

Gordon Cowling and Anton opened the bowling, with Anton bowling one of the opening batsmen with a pearler of a delivery in his second over.

Cowling had the next man well

Out: Ray Smith chops one onto his stumps. caught by Smith at short mid-wicket, and the Sunbury side were 2/29 at 10 overs.

Thornton and Hickleton, both state rep cricketers, set about rebuilding the innings, with Rob Bacchetti trapping Hickleton in front, and Meredith replacing Cowling.

Archie Dudderidge, another state rep, came in and the batted well.

Sunbury had reached 3/93 at 20 overs, and, after chasing down 190 plus last week, were confident of victory.

Meredith took the next wicket, Smith replaced Bacchetti and had 1/14 from his three overs, Debono replaced Meredith and Sunbury had only advanced to 121, for five wickets at the 30 over mark.

Fred ended with 2/8 from four overs, Barrie Nunn and Phill Higgins completed the last few overs as Sunbury reached 9/159 at the end of their 40 overs.

Catches were taken by Smith, Gibson, Floyd and Bacchetti, Gibbo got a stumping, and run outs, Lanigan to Gibson, and Bailey to Debono all helped limit the SMR innings.

Well done Goannas, to complete the regular season with 10 wins, two losses, and twp no-games.

Next on the calendar is the annual trip to Echuca, where the Goannas are playing in Division 1, in what could be described as the “Club Championship” for veterans cricket in Victoria. This carnival runs from March 14-18.

The Goannas hope to have a practice/ trial match this coming weekend.

Training will continue at Glengarry on Wednesday at 4.45pm, and will be followed by a dinner at the Glen Pub. All Goannas players, Over-50’s, Over60’s and Over-70’s, as well as partners, supporters and sponsors are invited to attend. Please notify Ian Gibson, so he can book enough tables.

Well done: The successful triples combination Keith Gadsby, David Cook and Nathan Cook.

Morwell’s state success BOWLS

TWO teams from Morwell Bowling Club won through to the state titles, to be held in Bendigo, after claiming victory in the regional finals.

To get there they first had to win their local West Gippsland competitions to qualify for the regional playoff.

The Men’s triples team of David Cook, his son Nathan Cook and Keith Gadsby won through by defeating the team from Inverloch.

The Men’s over 60’s pairs team of Ron Lyfield and Russell Williams defeated a team also from Inverloch.

Top job: Over 60 pairs winners Ron Lyfield and Russell Williams.

Sharks power to top with vital outright victory CRICKET TDCA

WHAT an incredible round of TDCA Cricket Round 13 was and not just in A Grade, the lower Grades have been thrown into chaos as well with some surprise results meaning that all finals places are far from set.

Stockdale sparkles

IN an amazing match which will certainly fuel a strong rivalry for years to come Ex Students have beaten Yarram & District outright to jump from third on the ladder to first where they are most likely to stay for the remainder of the season.

Ex Students resumed their innings needing a further 98 runs for first innings points and with the Duncan Cameron Park wicket and surrounds looking glorious it wasn’t long until the Sharks had passed the total required and pocketed six points.

Lee Stockdale who resumed his innings in the sixties fell four runs short of notching up a century falling to the bowling of Jeremy Babb for 96.

Then the fun began as Ex Students declared five runs ahead on first innings points, setting themselves the task of knocking over Yarram & District again in an attempt to win outright.

It looked like a masterstroke from Stockdale as the Pelicans were in trouble at 4/48 at one point, but then the middle order dug in and compiled a good score of 6/160 from 43 overs with Daniel O’Keefe

scoring a very fine 53 not out batting at number six.

The Pelicans then decided to give themselves a chance at an incredibly unlikely outright but had also assumed that setting the Sharks 156 runs to win outright would be too great of a target even for a list as explosive as them.

Seventeen overs is what Ex Students had to chase down the total so two of the biggest stars in the comp opened the batting and got on with it straight away as the first wicket fell at 100 after 11 overs which was Jordan Gilmore for a blistering 54 from 33 balls, soon followed by other opener Stockdale who made 52 from 41.

This set up the win as it allowed Rick Battista to then score freely himself making a fine 30 not out.

It wasn’t a cakewalk by any means though as the Sharks at one point required 37 runs from just three overs and needed 15 runs in the final heart stopping over.

Jubilant scenes followed as the Sharks celebrated the unlikely victory with raucous applause while Yarram walked off the ground having gained the respect of the TDCA for trying their best to sure up a finals spot and as they lick their wounds from this game there is no doubt a match like this will be burned into the memories of all who played and a rivalry will now be born from it.

Lee Stockdale not only had an amazing match as skipper, but his own individual performance was outstanding (11 wickets for 106 & 148 runs) and may just be the best all-round performance by any cricketer in the history of the TDCA.

Rams take down Magpies

ANOTHER match which was a bit of a shock was the Toongabbie and Glengarry game at Roger Ries Oval.

First placed Glengarry resumed their innings after rain affected last week, deciding a score of over 200 was required.

Once Ben Marks was dismissed on 49, Nat Freitag decided it was time to bowl as the Magpies declared at 8/208, giving the Rams 72 overs to either survive or win the game. The wicket was a bit difficult to bat on early but settled down nicely by the time Toongabbie batted and boy did it suit the Rams. Zak Russell (28), Jason Veneman (51) and Rob Wheildon (64) all batted beautifully to do the bulk of the run scoring while the middle order held their nerve and built the innings nicely to eventually chase down the 208 with one over remaining in the days play.

It comes as a shock loss as it has now mean Glengarry have fallen from top of the ladder to third where they will now stay due to having the bye next round.

This was Toongabbie’s best showing with the bat all season and also means the Rams hold on to the Timmins-Ries Cup for another year.

Tigers too strong for Imps

THE final match of the round went to script, but it wasn’t before the Tigers got a little nervous at the start of the day due to some good and aggressive

batting by Imperials top order.

Resuming at 0/23 on a better wicket than the week before Imps managed another 10 runs before Ryan Morley departed. This meant Brett Chapman came to the crease and after playing himself in nicely lifted the run rate and raced to 47 quickly.

A drinks break proved to be the momentum breaker that Gormandale needed as he then came back to resume his innings but shouldered arms to Adam Brady who trapped him in front and was adjudged LBW with the score on 91.

Brad Sizeland went soon after and then Luke Henderson really hit his groove as Imperials middle to lower order had no answer to the questions he and spin twin Yohan Soyza were asking with Henderson finishing on 5/47 from 21.4 overs while Soyza kept pressure up the other end bowling 10 overs for just seven runs.

Connor Hughes batted well for Imperials, occupying the crease for quite a while which is a good sign for the young all-rounder.

Gormandale then sent Imperials back in for a chance at an unlikely outright and at 3/12 it looked likely, but then Mitchell Bulmer stopped the rot finishing the day on 41 not out which included a massive six.

Gormandale now jump to second on the ladder, a position they cannot relinquish even if they lose their next match.

Brilliant Knowles takes the wind out of Trafalgar’s sails CRICKET LVDCL PREMIER A GRADE

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

TRAFALGAR will need to produce a Houdini act to avoid relegation after Raiders revived its finals hopes with a dominant display on day one at Yinnar.

Former Victorian and Western Australian paceman Brad Knowles inspired the defending premiers with a stunning display of fast bowling.

Knowles took 5/19 from 14 overs as the Ships were skittled for 41 inside 28 overs.

Opener Brodie Burgess (15) was the only Trafalgar batsman to score double-figures as Knowles cut a swathe through the batting line-up.

He was ably supported by teenage tearaway Harry McColl, who again signalled why he is a player of immense promise.

McColl proved a great foil to Knowles, claiming 4/17, including the wicket of Trafalgar young gun Billy Claridge for a duck.

Raiders, who went into the match on the back of a four-match losing streak, overhauled the meagre target with one wicket down before setting about building a lead.

Mark Andrews scored a patient 27 and Knowles

contributed 42, but Trafalgar’s bowlers kept the Ships in with some hope.

Raiders were bowled out in the 43rd over for 120, with Trafalgar captain Rhys Holdsworth the pick of the bowlers with 5/31.

Daniel Heathcote (2/24) and Jackson Noonan (2/45) also claimed multiple success.

Trafalgar made a better fist of batting the second time around, reaching 1/50 at stumps.

Burgess looked good for his 29, but fell late in the day to that man Knowles.

Churchill will go into day two needing 82 runs for first innings points after seizing the upper hand against Morwell.

Cobras spearhead Ryan Harvey was at his fearsome best, taking 6/21 as the Tigers posted 136.

Harvey tore through the Morwell top-order, sending the top three batsmen Sam Mooney, Kris Fortuin and Corey Mathieson to the pavilion with just 15 on the board.

The evergreen Mark Cukier played a lone hand against the disciplined Churchill attack.

Cukier top-scored with 58, his third half-century of the season.

Cobras skipper Brendan Mason wasted little time getting after the target, racing to 36 before he fell to Travis Pickering.

It was the only wicket Morwell took in 16 overs

Page 30 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 1 March, 2021

prior to stumps, with Churchill to resume at 1/55 next Saturday.

Ricky Velardi is unbeaten on 16 and Matt Harvey one not out.

The contest at Peter Siddle Oval is delicately poised after day one.

Opener Callum Polo top-scored with 45 as Mirboo North scored 188.

Fellow opener Damien Turner (23), all-rounder Madura Perera (25), skipper Jesse Giardina (28) and a breezy 29 from No.8 Jacob Blair each provided valuable cameos against the four-pronged Latrobe attack.

Tyron Gamage was the pick of the Sharks attack, taking 4/33 from 18 overs.

Captain Chris Johnson gained reward for his tireless 24.3 over spell, returning the figures of 3/57, while Jack Gay powered through 22 overs for 2/53.

Mirboo North struck paydirt late in the day when Perera induced a false shot from Latrobe opener Anu Meenakshi.

His departure for a duck means Latrobe will resume on day two at 1/2 with Jamie Coltman (two) and Adam Duncan (nought) the not out batsmen.

SCOREBOARDS - PAGE 28

CENTRALS destroyed Moe’s pre-eminent batting line-up on a remarkable opening day at Apex Park.

Having won the toss and elected to bat, Moe was knocked over for just 32 (no that is not a misprint) in 26.3 overs.

All four Centrals bowlers used enjoyed success.

Captain-coach Robert Webber set the tone with 3/5, including the prized wicket of Andrew Philip for a golden duck.

Marc Fenech claimed 3/17, highlighted by the dismissal Moe run-machine Joel Mitchell for six.

Tom Webster (2/5) and Corey Pollard (1/0) also got in on the fun as not one Moe batsman registered double-figures.

Jayden Mathison top-scored with nine.

Centrals carried the momentum generated by that bowling display with the willow.

Openers Mark Rawson and Corey Pollard put on 72 for the first wicket until Pollard was bowled by Aaron Johnstone for 27.

Rawson continued on his merry way, bringing up his half-century before his 98-ball stay came to an end when he was caught by Philip off Robert Mrzygloski for 72.

Rob Wilkie contributed 24 before a brace of wickets from Joel Mitchell (2/28) and Robert Blunt (2/27) slowed Centrals down.

Webber declared at 6/163, a lead of 131 runs.

Moe’s openers Chris Robinson (nine) and Sean Spiteri (15) survived unscathed through to stumps, with the scoreboard reading 0/28.

Twenty wickets fell on an action-packed day of cricket at John Black Oval.

At the close of it, CATS sealed first innings points, although it was another case of an opportunity missed for Traralgon West.

It took a brilliant 63 from star all-rounder Callum Stewart to lift CATS to 127 in its first innings.

Stewart, who strolled to the crease with CATS teetering at 4/22, hit 14 fours in an eye-catching 75-ball stay at the crease.

All six of Traralgon West’s six frontline bowlers took wickets, with Hayden Kimpton the most successful taking 3/39.

Luke Sumner displayed superb control, returning the figures of 2/16 from 13 overs and the consistent Salman Rasool (2/26) again impressed.

Having hurt them with the bat, Stewart made decisive in-roads with the ball.

He dispatched Ben Edebohls (six), Kimpton (16) and Tim Fitch (duck) to have Traralgon West in early trouble at 3/23.

It was a position from which the Eagles never really recovered from as Ben Julin (4/26) and Harry Cooper (3/6) polished off the middle and lower order, bowling out Traralgon West for 83.

Change of scenery, but still an event full of fun

ATHLETICS

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

THE FINISHING touches are being put in place before one of the region’s time-honoured sporting events later this month.

The 23rd edition of the Latrobe City Fun Run & Walk is fast approaching and although 2021 will look a bit different to previous years, the event’s organisers are optimistic of another successful renewal.

The major change comes with the host venue, which will be Kernot Hall in Morwell instead of the traditional home in Traralgon.

Traralgon Harriers president Phill Mayer explained the reasons behind the switch.

“With the COVID restrictions it is easier for us to manage the competitors running around a 5km loop at Kernot Hall than our usual course,” Mayer told The Express.

“Competitors will find the course is a bit narrower than normal.

“We’ll be using the paths using the paths through Waterhole Creek.

“Traffic will be managed on Hourigan Road for the duration of the event.”

Another is the capping of participant numbers to 300, which is about half of the turnout seen during a normal year.

Despite that, the key factors behind the event’s success remain the same as Mayer said.

“The beauty of this event is that it appeals to everybody regardless of your running ability or fitness and it will do so again this year,” he said.

“It is an event for the community. If you want to run you can, if you want to walk you can - the focus of this event is about having a good time.

“We’ve got the 5km race, where you can run or walk and the 1.5km race for the kids under the age of 12.

Mayer encouraged anyone interested in taking part to get their entries in.

“Entries are open now. You can visit our website traralgonharriers.org.au and there is a link where people can register now,” he said.

“We won’t be able to accept entries on the day, so if people can get in earlier, the better it is.

“The entries will remain open until 11pm on Thursday, March 11.”

The Fun Run & Walk has the support of naming rights sponsor DFP Recruitment and Mayer said all profits raised from this year’s event will be donated to Gippsland Rotary Centenary House. ““The Fun Run & Walk is about the Harriers as a club giving back to the community and we’re proud to have an association with Gippsland Rotary Centenary House stretching back many years,” he said.

As is always the case at events run by the Traralgon Harriers, there will be a carnival atmosphere at the finish line as Mayer explained.

“The Rotary barbecue will be firing, we’ll have the shoe display, the massage tents, coffee van, ice cream van, a raft of prizes, there will be plenty happening,” he said.

The Fun Run & Walk is one of the biggest events on the Traralgon Harriers club calendar with a crew of about 40 members set to volunteer their time.

Ryan Wissmer is fancied to defend the men’s title he won last year, although Mayer predicted Michael Molinari and rising star Josh Sova could present a serious challenge, while Emilie Guy is the defending women’s champion.
