Wildlife cruelty ends in jail term A TRAFALGAR man has been jailed for 18 months, fined $15,000 and banned from owning or being in charge of dogs for 10 years over disturbing acts of wildlife cruelty, including using illegal hunting dogs to kill and injure native wildlife and deer in East and West Gippsland.

The man, who was convicted at the Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court earlier this month, will serve a non-parole period of 15 months.

He admitted using Mastiff-cross dogs to hunt and kill 19 Common Wombats, Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Brush-tailed Possums and Sambar Deer over a 21-month period between 2018-2020.

He also admitted to illegally using a firearm on 12 occasions against Sambar deer.

The conviction followed a four-month investigation by the Conservation Regulator which uncovered graphic video evidence filmed by the man, in which he allowed and encouraged up to three dogs at a time to attack and maul live animals.

The man pleaded guilty to 53 counts of cruelty and hunting offences under the Wildlife Act 1975 and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1986, including one count of aggravated cruelty for killing a protected Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

He also pleaded guilty to a further three charges for offences committed under the Forests Act 1958 and Land Conservation (Vehicle Control) Regulations 2013.

Magistrate Simon Garnett described the animal cruelty offences as “very serious” and the offending across 24 separate occasions as “calculated, callous and cruel”.

He further noted the “deliberate, blatant and appalling” mistreatment of animals depicted in the footage.

In imposing his sentence, the Magistrate noted that it had to reflect community disgust and condemnation and had to send a message to others that such “despicable violence and cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated”.

To report wildlife crime, contact Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000.

Traralgon man refused bail

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A TRARALGON man charged with intentionally causing serious injury to a toddler in November this year has been refused bail.

Benjamin Stockdale, 37, is accused of causing life-altering injuries to the 22-month-old girl, who is the daughter of his girlfriend.

He was also charged with breaching a court order.

Magistrate Alanna Duffy delivered her decision at the Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, December 15.

Magistrate Duffy told the court Mr Stockdale posed an “unacceptable risk” if let out on bail, and explained that she was not satisfied that the bail conditions proposed would be enough to mitigate that risk.

Mr Stockdale was arrested at a Traralgon property in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday, December 8 by the Central Gippsland Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Unit.

Defence lawyer Penny Marcou proposed that Mr Stockdale live either on a Cann River property with his mother or at a Traralgon property with both his parents if bail were granted.

As part of the bail application, Mr Stockdale’s sister also offered up a $100,000 surety and his mother told the court that she would report any bail breaches to police.

Prosecution lawyer Amy Campbell, argued that the address in Cann River posed a flight risk, due to its position close to the NSW border and its lack of proximity to a 24 hour police station.

Magistrate Duffy asserted in her final decision that she did not believe the surety would be enough to mitigate the risk to an “acceptable level”.

She stated that she was not satisfied that Mr Stockdale living with one or both of his parents would reduce risk either, despite finding that exceptional circumstances do exist in the case, in that Mr Stockdale will spend a significant amount of time in remand – time which Magistrate Duffy said may be longer than the length of his eventual sentence.

During the proceedings, the court heard that the father of Mr Stockdale had allegedly been in contact with his girlfriend on behalf of Mr Stockdale, and had told her to “say no comment” when talking to investigators.

Acting Detective Senior Constable Christine Walsh alleged the father of Mr Stockdale had

attempted to prevent his arrest on the morning of December 8.

In her testimony, DSC Walsh also outlined the event which allegedly occurred on the night of Friday, November 12, 2021.

Detective Walsh alleged that the toddler had been put to bed around 9pm and left alone in the home with Mr Stockdale.

The girlfriend of Mr Stockdale left the property at approximately 10pm.

At 10.28pm, she received a call during which Mr Stockdale allegedly screamed “she’s not breathing” and told her to call an ambulance.

According to the detective’s testimony, Mr Stockdale has not given any explanation as to the victim’s injuries, apart from that he checked on her while she was sleeping and the injuries appeared.

The toddler still remains in hospital, with what is believed to be life-altering injuries.

The injuries suffered included swelling and

bruising to her forehead, bruising areas of the face, a laceration to the back of her head.

Retinal haemorrhages and swelling of the brain were also observed on MRIs. At present, the medical advice provided suggests that the injuries occurred due to “non-accidental trauma”, however the medical statements have not yet been concluded.

Last week, the court heard that the alleged assault occurred after another incident only weeks prior, in which the toddler allegedly appeared with a black eye and swelling to the left side of her temple after showering with Mr Stockdale.

Mr Stockdale told his girlfriend that the young girl had slipped and hit her head.

Allegedly no medical treatment was sought in the aftermath of this incident.

The matter is set to return to court on April 8, 2022.

Court proceedings loom: WorkSafe Victoria has charged EnergyAustralia with breaches to the Occupational Health and Safety Act which led to the death of an employee at the Yallourn Power Station in 2018. file photograph

WorkSafe charges Yallourn’s owner

By MICHELLE SLATER

WORKSAFE Victoria has charged EnergyAustralia with breaches to the Occupational Health and Safety Act which led to the death of an employee at the Yallourn Power Station in 2018.

The matter is listed for a file hearing at the Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court next month, after WorkSafe laid the charges following a review by the Department of Public Prosecutions.

Yallourn unit controller Graeme Edwards died in hospital after being severely burned by an arc flash while he was returning to service – or racking – a circuit breaker.

WorkSafe is alleging that the arc flash occurred when a cable Mr Edwards was connecting made contact with live components of the circuit breaker.

It says this was due to a defectively attached infill panel in the cubicle where it was being installed.

WorkSafe alleges EnergyAustralia failed to provide the plant was safe and without risks to health, and failed to provide information and training in accordance with its operating manual.

Other alleged breaches include failing to provide and require arc rated personal protective equipment.

The news was welcomed by CFMMEU mining and energy division secretary Geoff Dyke, after the union had referred the incident to the Department of Public Prosecutions for further review.

Last year, WorkSafe announced it would not lay charges against EnergyAustralia after it had investigated Mr Edwards’ death, despite an investigation finding the company was at fault.

But WorkSafe is now laying charges after considering there was sufficient evidence to support a reasonable prospect of conviction and considering if a prosecution was in the public interest.

“We welcome WorkSafe taking this matter seriously after a worker could not return home safely,” Mr Dyke said.

“They are taking action which will set an example to other companies and will help to address a poor safety culture at Yallourn.”

Mr Dyke said he hoped the prosecution would ensure EnergyAustralia maintained the power station in a safe state leading into its scheduled 2028 closure.

“The incentives fall away as the station nears closure, so its important examples are set now so EnergyAustralia won’t let the place run down into a state of high risk for employees,” he said.

“Companies don’t want to spend money on something going to close, and we don’t want safety to deteriorate further.”

An EnergyAustralia spokesperson said the company had taken actions in the past three years to ensure “no other family goes through what the Edwards’ have experienced”.

“Safety continues to be our number one priority at EnergyAustralia. In regard to this tragedy, we have conducted a thorough review of circuit breakers and electrical hazards,” the spokesperson said.

“We have also introduced new safety features, including updated equipment and gear.

“Beyond that, given that this matter is currently before the court, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.”

working behind the scenes

Starting in March and between lock downs this year we conducted asbestos and silica awareness seminars, mostly by online Zoom but in person where we could. We delivered these services in person to as many as we could depending on the health restrictions. Over the last 12 months it was challenging for all in this space but we didn t let it stop us.

We kept our office open 5 days a week all the way through the COVID -19 pandemic restrictions for clients, newly diagnosed silica and asbestos sufferers and our members. We kept our 24/7 information and support line open and offered Zoom, Facebook time and Skype to anyone wishing to make contact on a personal basis without physical contact. Email and Facebook were all options and they are all now still being offered. We also managed to take medical equipment to the homes of those in need of our services. We also managed some face to face

support group meetings both in Latrobe Valley and in Metro Melbourne We conducted our Asbestos Awareness webinar on the 26th of November to all those who could come online to listen to our speakers and ask questions of them. We also were a part of the ASEA National asbestos awareness campaign where we sent clear messages about asbestos and its dangers by doing media and advertising to get a discussion happening of where to find help which was conducted through the week of the 22nd 28th of November. Also in that week, we were lucky enough to be able to conduct a Bunnings BBQ in Morwell with the Latrobe Valley Asbestos Task force, giving out information on asbestos while cooking sausages for the general public. We also had one of our ACV/GARDS members represent Australia on a webinar for ABAN - Asbestos Ban Asian Network in October.

Beloved Aunty’s legacy lives on

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A TRARALGON family has raised more than $11,600 in memory of their aunty.

When the Hanratty family lost their Aunt Teresa Raven to ovarian cancer in October his year, her nephew, 16-year-old Josh, decided he wanted to help fight the disease.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time, Josh and his siblings were unable to attend Teresa’s funeral, so he set out creating a fundraising page where he promised that if he reached $1000 he would shave his head.

Little did he know he would end up smashing his original goal.

Eventually, his two younger siblings were inspired by their older brother and joined in.

Zahra, 15, donated 25 centimetres of her hair, and Jasmine, 12, held an online art auction.

The Hanratty siblings have many fond memories of their aunty, who played a huge role in their lives.

Teresa was remembered by the family for her love of cooking, her bright and bubbly personality and her dedication to her family.

“She loved cooking, and she made the best pancakes, because she put sugar in the batter,” Zahra said.

“She was just a very bubbly person to be around, she was very loud ... she came over all the time.”

Josh hoped that starting up the fundraiser would raise awareness and funds for research as well as help him and his family mourn their loss.

“I was sitting in English ... not achieving much.

I was with my mate Sam, and I started the fundraising page ... we were thinking at about $500 I would shave my head,” Josh said.

But after returning home and talking with his mum, Josh decided to set the bar a bit higher, and he settled on $1000 as his goal.

“In the aftermath of losing Aunty Teresa, I was at a bit of a loss of what to do ... I felt like I needed to do something to help me with the whole process, and this was a way to do that and a way to honour her memory, the best way that I could.”

Josh’s fundraiser quickly reached his goal, and before he knew it the clippers were coming out at school, and his hair was shaved off by the head of his year level and some classmates.

“The school was really good in letting me do that, and Zahra cut some of her hair off at school on the same day,” Josh explained.

Team effort: Jasmine Hanratty, Zahra Hanratty and Josh Hanratty.

Support: James Raven (Teresa’s son) Krissy Travers (Teresa’s cousin), Eve Hanratty, Jasmine Hanratty, Matthew Hanratty (Teresa’s brother) Zahra Hanratty and Greg Imhagwe at Teresa Day in Maffra.

Inspired by her older brother, Zahra decided to join in, and not only help raise money, but give her hair to someone else in need.

Zahra ended up cutting off approximately 25cm of her hair after the fundraiser reached $7000.

She said it was a bit nerve-wracking to cut off so much for her hair, but once it was over she was happy.

“I wasn’t sure how short it was going to be ... so I was a bit worried,” Zahra said.

“We sectioned it into four parts and had four teachers each cut off a section.”

It was not long before Jasmine came up with the idea to auction a piece of art as part of the fundraiser.

Jasmine is quite an artist, and has a wall of art in the entryway to the family home.

Her pieces of art are some of her most prized possessions.

“I love to paint and draw and I wanted to be involved and contribute to the fundraiser,” Jasmine said.

The siblings’ mother, and Ms Raven’s sister, Jenifer said she was extremely proud of what her

children has achieved, and feels the fundraiser has gone a long way to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.

“Often ovarian cancer is found too late. Which was the case with Aunty Teresa, she was stage four when they found it. There’s not many distinctive symptoms ... so you don’t really know you have it and it’s often too late,” Jenifer explained.

“The kids have raised so much awareness for a cancer that’s not that common amongst young people ... I think it’s great.”

On Saturday, November 27 Josh hosted an event called ‘Teresa Day’, in which a small group rode about 60km from Traralgon to the Maffra Cemetery, where Teresa is buried.

Teresa’s son James was among the group of riders on the day.

At the end of the ride, they held a barbecue, raffle, live music and massages.

About 60 people were in attendance.

The Hanratty family took the chance to thank everyone for the immense support they have received.

“Everyone has rallied around the cause. We’ve got a big extended family, so we’ve had lots of donations and kind words coming in from everyone for the work that we’ve been able to do,”’ Josh told The Express.

“Mates at school and friends from everywhere else have chipped in wherever they can and given us a helping hand. It’s been really inspiring.

“Every dollar counts, it’s all gone straight into the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation who are doing everything they can to fight a bit of a lesser known cancer, that is really common in Australian women.”

The family intend to stage another fundraiser next year.

Jenifer said she could not be prouder of her children.

“We have always taught them that they can make a difference ... their Aunty Teresa would be very shocked, surprised and overwhelmed with happiness I think,” she said.

Questions raised over new LVA appointment

Twilight

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE state government is defending its appointment of a second Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive with links to the Labor party.

The Andrews Government recently named former Labor candidate Chris Buckingham to take the reins of the LVA next year, replacing outgoing CEO Karen Cain.

Mr Buckingham stood for the seat of McMillan in the 2016 federal election, while Ms Cain was a former president of the South Gippsland Labor Party branch.

But Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath accused the state government of appointing the job to a local “Labor mate”.

“It’s extraordinary that the government has appointed another Labor mate to this position, but unfortunately we are not surprised,” Ms Bath said.

“It is not lost on the community that there seems to be more focus on employment for Labor party members than ongoing jobs for the people of the Latrobe Valley.”

The LVA was formed in 2016 to help the region transition after the closure of Hazelwood, but its funding is due to expire on June 30 next year after it was initially funded for four years.

A Parliament Public Accounts and Estimates Committee recently showed that the LVA spent all its grant funding in the past financial year.

“I am very alarmed that the government appears to be winding down the LVA at a time unemployment is edging up to post-Hazelwood levels,” Ms Bath said.

Member for Morwell Russell Northe questioned the transparency of the recruitment process, stating he would be asking for more information from the government around the appointment.

“This is not about Chris being the right person for the job, but what are the circumstances around his appointment?” Mr Northe said.

“The position was advertised the first time, but I don’t recall the position being advertised this time. Was he headhunted? Why didn’t we know the former CEO’s term was coming to a conclusion?”

According the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, public sector employees are recruited under the principles and standards set out in the Public Administration Act. It means incoming public service leaders must declare potential conflicts of interest, which is updated annually, through a process overseen by a government department integrity branch.

High-profile gig: Chris Buckingham’s recent appointment as Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer has drawn criticism. photograph supplied

The department stated it was “common practice” to advertise and recruit senior roles when an executive contract nears completion, with Mr Buckingham appointed via a merit-based process.

A Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions spokesperson said Mr Buckingham’s recruitment process was led by an independent executive search firm on behalf of the department.

“A panel, including departmental representatives and an independent member oversaw the interview process,” the spokesperson said.

“The Victorian government remains committed to the LVA and this new appointment comes at a critical time for the authority as it looks to the region’s needs into the future.”

MP Shing confirms she will recontest upper house seat LABOR Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing will be recontesting her seat in the Legislative Council in next year’s Victorian election.

Ms Shing said she was “delighted” to confirm she has been pre-selected to run for the upper house, after having been a member for the Andrews’ Labor Government for the past seven years.

The MP said she had “as worked hard as I can for the record funding, engagement, and respect that the Latrobe Valley needs as long-term transition continues”.

“Across the Valley the benefits of this investment are being seen and felt every day through

better facilities, educational and employment opportunities, and locally-driven projects.

“But transition of this scale is not easy, and there’s a lot more to do.”

It comes as fellow Labor Member for Eastern Victoria and Parliamentary Secretary for Jobs Jane Garrett advised the Premier Daniel Andrews that she would not seek re-election next year.

Ms Shing said she would continue her efforts until the end of this parliamentary term.

“Should I be returned for a third term, it would be a privilege to ensure that this work goes on,” she said.

Unpleasant odour at Kernot Lake

MORWELL locals have been reporting an unpleasant odour coming from Kernot Lake in recent weeks.

Latrobe City Council is investigating the issue after receiving a number of reports from community members, and have reached a conclusion.

The smell coming from the lake is in fact, dead fish and eels.

Latrobe City chief executive officer Steven Piasente said that the council recently employed a private lab to test water samples from the lake.

“It was found that the likely cause of fish deaths was the result of an influx of organic material, resulting in a sudden loss of dissolved oxygen within the lake,” Mr Piasente explained.

“Without dissolved oxygen, fish and eels are unable to breathe.”

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Latrobe City are conducting compliance inspections of local businesses to help uncover the cause.

“A number of potential causes of dissolved oxygen were identified along Bennetts Creek, including commercial and industrial sites,” Mr Piasente said.

“EPA and council are conducting compliance inspections of businesses in the area.”

Mr Piasente reminded locals to not consume fish from the lake, and to avoid contact with the water.

“Council would like to remind the community that this situation is not a direct risk to human health, provided fish are not caught and consumed. Contact with the water should also be avoided,” he said.

An EPA spokesperson said they had investigated reports of fish deaths and odour at Kernot Lake in accordance with their guidelines, and reiterated that they and Latrobe City are conducting compliance inspections of business in the area.

A wonderful gift of kindness

By MICHELLE SLATER

RANDOM acts of kindness have seen Traralgon Toyworld shoppers rewarded with lay-buys paid off in time for Christmas.

Yinnar man Shane Lambert was given a special surprise when he found out about $160 worth of lay-buys was paid for by generous donors.

The keen Lego fan had put a couple of boxes on lay-buy for himself to be paid off after Christmas, but learned he could take them home early.

Mr Lambert said he liked to tinker with Lego to keep his “mind and hands busy” when sitting at home.

“Toyworld rang me up and said they had a surprise for me. I thought a new Lego had come in before Christmas, but they told me someone had paid off my lay-buys. It was a shock,” Mr Lambert said.

“It brought tears to my eyes, I don’t cry much.

At this time of year, it was totally unexpected.

It makes me feel good to get out of bed in the morning, it’s nice for this to happen out of the blue.”

Traralgon Toyworld employee Fiona Hallam said a church group had donated $5000 towards paying off 40 shop lay-buys, while another donor put $500 towards chipping $50 off other purchases.

Ms Hallam said she was aware of similar donations being made at other Victorian Toyworld stores, but this was the first time it happened in Traralgon.

“We were blown away, it was such a generous thing to do, when we rang to let customers know, we had tears and disbelief, they thought we were joking,” Ms Hallam said.

“It was unbelievable, some are finding it hard and are stressed about how they would pay the lay-buys before Christmas for the kids. People are looking out for each other.”

What’s on your mind?

Ask the brain detectives LRH neurologists, Dr Ravi Subramanya and Dr Piyush Ostwal are on the case.

Every day they are presented with a series of symptoms from patients and their mission is to delve deep into the brain to find the cause.

Their detective work may lead to a diagnosis of epilepsy or multiple sclerosis but the case is never closed.

Many conditions like epilepsy are monitored for a lifetime.

“Most of the problems or symptoms that someone experiences can often be attributed to the brain. It’s a puzzle you have to work through when you are dealing with a disease or condition.

Putting together the pieces fascinates me,” Dr Ostwal said.

Doctors Subramanya and Ostwal are the only neurologists in Gippsland and may see up to 50 new patients a month.

“Epilepsy is a big part of the practice.

A neurologist starting here fresh may have 10 cases but over the next five years that will grow to hundreds because it’s a lifelong condition. It’s not like pneumonia where you treat

someone and they’re gone – that doesn’t happen with epilepsy. The condition is monitored for a long time,” Dr Subramanya said.

Diagnosing conditions like epilepsy is supported by tests using electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment which measures electrical activity in the brain.

There is no EEG machine in Gippsland and the closest option for public patients is Monash Health in Clayton.

Dr Subramanya said the waiting list for public patients can be a year or more – and that’s a real issue for many local people with epilepsy who rely on their car for transport but aren’t allowed to drive without a medical report or proof their condition is under control.

LRH is currently raising money to purchase an EEG which will be utilised by adult and paediatric patients in Gippsland.

“The brain controls everything that happens in the body, whether that’s moving your arm or seeing or your emotions and memories. It controls your heart, your breath, your bladder and immune system. The brain has a

LRH neurologists, Dr Ravi Subramanya (seated) and Dr Piyush Ostwal continue to be fascinated by the complexities of the brain.

part to play in everything that happens in your body. It’s incredibly complex,” Dr Subramanya said.

“Advances in molecular biology and brain chemistry have translated to better treatment. The way we treated migraines 30 years ago compared to now - we are now a lot more precise with medication.

“For multiple sclerosis there is a huge amount of medication to choose from to finely target what we want to treat.

In the past this was not even thought of. There was no gene map for us to understand how the brain works.

“And you’ll find all kind of things changing in the next 10 years, more than what we would have seen in the last 30.”

Keith’s contribution to kidney care A generous donation has made a significant contribution to supporting the comfort of patients undergoing daily treatment for kidney disease.

LRH’s Dialysis Unit has purchased four new chairs with the help of a grant from the Keith Chenhall Charitable Trust. The chairs worth more than $24,000 are among the latest ergonomic offerings on the market.

Dialysis patient, Don was one of the first to test out a new chair and give it the thumbs up.

Dialysis Nurse Unit Manager, Madeleine Balcombe said a donation from the Keith Chenhall Charitable Trust will ensure people with kidney disease will continue to have access to lifesaving treatment.

YOUR GIFT Please accept my donation of $

nurses and good for the patients,” Madeleine said.

LRH applied to the Keith Chenhall Charitable Trust for support earlier this year. The late Keith Chenhall OAM was a respected Traralgon businessman who dedicated his life to community service and supporting charitable causes, without fanfare or recognition.

The Trust in his name was established in 2002 with hundreds of thousands of dollars directed to notfor-profit organisations in the Latrobe Valley. Over the past 16 years, LRH has received more than $192,000 in grants from the Trust to purchase equipment.

“After five years of sitting in the old chairs, these are great. They are a lot softer than the old chairs and a lot

more comfortable,” Don said.

“I get in roughly at 7.30am and leave about 1.30pm so it’s a long time to be sitting in a chair. Once the needle goes in your arm, you’re not allowed to move or wriggle around so to sit in the one spot in a new chair is great.”

LRH Dialysis Nurse Unit Manager, Madeleine Balcombe said the fully adjustable chairs offer high quality cushioning to reduce the incidence of pressure sores and injuries which may lead to severe infections or serious illnesses.

“And I can easily adjust the height of the chair by pressing a button so I’m not bending over to insert the needle into the patient’s arm. It’s good for the

Region’s top VCE achievers of 2021

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

SOPHIE Kootstra was awarded dux of Kurnai College with an ATAR of 95.0.

A Yinnar local, she has lived in the area her whole life.

“I was aiming for an 80 or 85,” Sophie told The Express.

“It was just so unexpected. I just started crying - I couldn’t believe it.”

The last few years have been a battle for Sophie, so the knowledge that she had achieved such a fantastic score meant even more to her and her family.

In 2019, at the age of just 15, she suffered heart failure due to a genetic tumour and had to be put on life support in an induced coma for eight days. This had a major impact on the remainder of her schooling.

“While in the coma I was on ECMO ... and there was a clot, and I had a stroke as a result,” she explained.

“After eight days I woke up from the coma ... I had to learn how to walk again, I had to be put on kidney dialysis.

“I have permanent nerve damage and a permanent brain injury ... I have been able to continue everything I do daily, it’s just been a bit harder.

“I get a lot more tired than my peers, I experience speech difficulty sometimes when I’m tired, cognitive fatigue ... I do have troubles with speed of processing.”

When Sophie finally returned to school she was still recovering, and was unable to spend full days in class or interact with her peers like she used too.

“It was hard for me to relate to my peers sometimes. No one should have to know what a stroke is at 15,” she said.

Sophie wants to study Midwifery or Health Science.

She has been inspired by those who helped her during the most challenging moments of her young life, and wants to do the same for others.

“I would love to work regionally for a while, just to give back something to the community I was raised in.

Regional areas are in need of more healthcare workers,” she said.

Gippsland Grammar: Principal Leisa Harper and student Demi Edward, who was awarded dux with an ATAR of 99.2.

Her advice for next year’s Year 12 students is to choose subjects they are passionate about.

“Do the subjects you love and have a passion in... if you really love a subject you’re going to put more effort into that subject, therefore you’re going to do better and your VCE experience is going to be so much better.”

Trafalgar High School

TRAFALGAR High School’s dux of 2021 is Ellie de van der Schueren with an ATAR of 97.9.

“I had woken up about 10 minutes before 7am, I was just so excited and so nervous for the results,” she said.

She woke her Mum up and they both sat in front of the computer waiting for the result to be released - when it finally happened they were both extremely excited.

There was a lot riding on Ellie’s end of year results.

Kurnai College: University Campus principal Geoff Black and Sophie Kootstra, who was awarded dux with an ATAR of 95.0.

Trafalgar High School: Ellie de van der Schueren was awarded dux with an ATAR of 97.9.

St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School: Annabelle Rajasingham was awarded dux with an ATAR of 98.8, pictured with principal Cameron Herbert.

In Year 10 she earned a place in the Melbourne University’s Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program, which guarantees students in the program who score over 90 on their ATAR a place in an undergraduate degree.

Ellie was also accepted into Melbourne University’s Hansen Scholarship early in 2021, which helps students with their living expenses throughout university.

Ellie’s plans for 2022 are to pursue a Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne University, with a major in Psychology.

She intends only following a pathway that will lead her to become a clinic psychologist.

“I picked it up as early access in Year 10, and the subject was just so fascinating... I know that you can go into so many pathways and help so many people.”

“Being in a regional area, I’ve definitely noticed the lack of psychologists around, and I think that it is a real injustice that there are so many people who are struggling and we don’t have enough people to support them.”

is keeping an open mind about what she would like to specialise in.

“I’m leaning towards surgery at the moment, but I’m also just going to go with an open mind, find what I’m passionate about and pursue that,” she said.

Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper expressed her happiness for Demi and the class of 2021.

“Our students continue to excel even when their resilience and determination have been tested,” she said.

“There are many compelling stories of success from a dux who achieved a well-deserved 99.2 to 21 per cent of our students scoring above 90 and 94 per cent of our students with an ATAR above 50.”

Elizabeth said that the most important thing at the end of Year 12 is to be able to look back and be proud of yourself.

“Try your hardest, not necessarily for your ATAR, but so that you can look back and be proud of yourself... it’s worth it - to try - so you can look back and be happy,” she said.

Lowanna College’s principal Adam Hogan said the school was very proud of what this year’s Year 12s had achieved, especially given the challenges of the last two years. “’Our students this year have done us proud, particularly given the challenges our students have faced over two years of VCE,” he said.

“We are very proud of Elizabeth, who is admired by her teachers and highly respected by her peers; a very deserving dux for 2021.”

Gippsland Grammar

DEMI Edward was awarded dux of Gippsland Grammar, with an ATAR of 99.2.

A Traralgon local, Demi only moved to Australia from the UK in 2018. She said she found Gippsland Grammar a very supportive environment.

“Everyone here was really friendly, so it wasn’t as daunting as it seemed,” she said.

When Demi discovered her high ATAR score she was in disbelief.

“I just opened it in my room, and I went through and told my parents,” she said.

“Mum was jumping up and down, she’s over the moon.

“I definitely was not expecting in the 99s at all, that was a lovely surprise.”

In 2022, Demi wants to study Medicine at Monash University, and

“It was a really nice surprise,” she said.

“My family is very very proud, I think they’re even more happy than I am.”

Elizabeth’s highest raw score was 41 in Further Maths.

“My favourite subject was definitely Maths ... I found myself studying for that more than others because I just liked doing practice exams,” she said.

While Elizabeth said the pandemic was challenging, there were some benefits.

“A benefit of online learning, especially doing it in Year 11, is that it set me up to have better study skills at home,” she said.

In 2022, Elizabeth wants to study Criminology and Psychology at RMIT. “When I was little I always wanted to be a police officer... but I’m leaning towards social work. Maybe something in the youth justice field.”

“I currently work with kids, and I think that that is something I would want to do for a career.”

s n o i t u l o S

ANNABELLE Rajasingham was awarded dux of St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School with an ATAR of 98.8.

The daughter of a Moe GP, Annabelle also has her sights set on a career in medicine.

She woke up on Thursday morning to what she described as a big surprise.

“I was really surprised, and my family were really happy,” she said.

Her highest study score was a 48 in Biology, which she completed through early access in Year 11.

Annabelle plans to study Medicine at Monash University.

“Being able to see my Dad, working in a rural setting... you get to know people, watch children grow up - which I think would be really rewarding. Also, how the body works, and how diseases work is something that really fascinates me,” she said.

Her advice to future Year 12s is to make sure they enjoy their final year of schooling.

“Give it your best, it’s a hard year - but make the most of it. Year 12 is one of the most enjoyable years at school,” she said.

The moment they had all been waiting for finally arrived on the morning of Thursday, December 16 at 7am.

For many, their hard worked paid off in the form of an ATAR in the 80s or even the 90s.

For some, the score is a demonstration of the adversity they have overcome.

They each hold hopes their incredible results will act as a springboard for a successful future.

Work to begin on Bank St intersection

Local business celebrates 65th birthday Proud: Darren Cornell is proud of J. Smith Motors’ long history.

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

J. SMITH Motors in Morwell has celebrated 65 years in business.

The business originally opened in 1956, after its first owner John Smith retired as an RAF spitfire mechanic.

The Cornell family has been involved since the very beginning.

On opening day, Graeme Cornell began his apprenticeship, and continued to move up in the business until he eventually bought it outright.

Eventually, Graeme passed on J. Smith Motors to his son Darren Cornell, who still runs the business today.

It is the oldest garage in the Latrobe Valley, however its current owner, Mr Cornell has made sure the building doesn’t look it.

He’s been working to maintain the garage, which still demonstrates its roots with a distinctly retro appearance.

The J. Smith Motors’ sign still stands proud atop the roof.

“I started here as an apprentice in 1980,” Mr Cornell told The Express.

“I was brought up here and I moved down to Melbourne when I was about 20 ... I came back here around 2000.”

Mr Cornell eventually returned to the business about 15 years ago, so that his father could retire.

He said the business had been through many phases over the th years and d has h changed significantly since the 1950s.

“It’s evolved, back in the 60s it was a Repco parts distributor, and we did a lot of air conditioner work in the 90s,” he said.

“Now we do general repairs and general servicing, towing and RACV work.”

The business has seen hundreds of employees

come and go over the years, many of whom have started their own garages in the area, Mr Cornell said.

WORK will finally start on upgrading a notorious intersection in Traralgon after years of lobbying and frustration by local residents.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said state and federal funding had been secured to upgrade the Bank Street intersection with work to commence by the middle of 2022.

“This is a huge win for local residents that we are finally going to see work on the ground to improve safety at this intersection which has become extremely difficult to negotiate for local motorists,” Mr Chester said.

“The federal government allocated an additional $300 million to Princes Highway improvements in 2019 and I have been frustrated by the long delays in getting work started.

“I’ve written to the state and federal Ministers and encouraged them to reach agreement on more projects in the interests of road safety.

“The federal government is providing 80 per cent of the funding for these upgrades and we need to get the jobs started as soon as possible.”

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath has repeatedly raised concerns about the Bank Street intersection in state parliament and has welcomed the funding agreement.

“This project is long overdue, and I congratulate my Nationals federal colleague Darren Chester for stepping in to secure the majority of funding for our community,” Ms Bath said.

“The community have been seeking vital safety upgrades on the notorious Bank Street Princes Highway intersection for far too long.

“I understand that work will start in the middle of the year and take about 12 months to complete. If there’s any opportunity to bring the contract forward it should be done in the interests of reducing road trauma and congestion in Traralgon.”

Government decision doesn’t add up

THERE is a passage in Emily Bronte’s Gothic masterpiece Wuthering Heights (first published in 1847) where we join Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff on Penistone Crag in a vivid moment of perfect happiness which is captured in the following lines: “Heathcliff, make the world stop right here.

Make everything stop and stand still and never move again. Make the moors never change and you and I never change.”

I have highlighted these words because they perfectly encapsulate how I feel at the start of each day when I begin my daily ritual by taking an early-morning walk through the misty paths of the forever memorable Morwell Rose Garden.

Thus, despite the constant doom and gloom of COVID, I am determined to find a daily escape and feel elevated to a higher plane, if only momentarily, as American naturalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) once felt when he penned these imperishable words writing from his cabin at Walden Pond in 1845: “It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is a far more glorious thing to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”

Thank you to our collection workers

THE old tradition of leaving a bottle or two of beer out for the garbos at the end of the year may be a thing of the past, but you can still say waste collection workers and other essential local government workers this Christmas.

At each of Victoria’s 79 local councils, local government workers deliver essential services that we rely on every day.

OBJECTORS MAKE VOICES HEARD Lauren Krell: The people of the Valley deserve an EES. If Chunxing and the government are so confident that this ULAB is safe, they should put their money where their mouth is.

Emily Beaverstock: Thanks to everyone putting in the work, especially those working behind the scenes!

Marc Metcalfe: Build it, we need more work in the Valley.

CUSTOMERS MAY FOOT BILL FOR COST OF FIXING POLES AND WIRES Anita Marshall: I don’t mind paying $6.00 yearly for four years ... It is one cup of coffee a year for a household and two pizzas a year for a business. We all have to live with what mother nature does to us ... flood, fire, drought, storms ... cyclones ... etc ... and help out at times and do the best we can ... I do not think it is unreasonable in my opinion.

Serena Hall: Are they the poles that current electricity providers are not liable for because ownership of electricity services have changed a number of times over the years. Some poles are just seriously old and have nothing to do with storms.

Margaret Forrester: Or maybe AusNet shouldn’t have built near trees? Also these homes were without power for days and some people lost appliances and food from their fridge/

From road workers to librarians, emergency management specialists, aged and disability care workers, and the workers who are up collecting our bins and recycling while most of us are still in bed, local government workers keep our communities running.

I remember when it was the done thing to put out a bottle of beer or two for the garbos collecting the rubbish. It was a genuine gesture of thanks to workers we didn’t often see and maybe didn’t even know.

The work of waste collection has changed a lot with skilled workers driving high-tech vehicles and collecting bins at a rate that the fittest waste collection workers would have struggled to match when bins were manually grabbed off the kerb and tipped into a truck.

But the work is just as important, and the workers performing it are just as committed to doing the best job they can.

So even if it’s not with a bottle of beer, say a big thank you to waste collection workers this Christmas by giving them a friendly wave in recognition of the critically important work they do.

THIS Christmas will be tough for the 49,000 Victorians who lost their job in October and for small business owners, like those in hospitality and accommodation, that are still desperately struggling to fill staffing rosters.

Chris Milne: Latrobe City should definitely keep all its eggs in the coal industry, and not plan to transition at all.

No? Oh that’s awkward then.

economy. Victoria risks being left behind without new, bold ideas to set our state on track to recover and rebuild.

The Victorian Liberals and Nationals believe that restoring our state’s crown as the nation’s manufacturing powerhouse is a crucial step towards this goal. Three decades ago, manufacturing employment accounted for about 17.2 per cent of our state’s jobs market. At the end of August 2021, that had sunk to 8.4 per cent.

The COVID pandemic is just one contributor to this decline. Investment in the private sector to assist in job creation is what the Liberal and National parties do best.

That is why at this critical time, we will make it a priority to recover and rebuild our manufacturing sector with a $2.5 billion Rebuilding Jobs, Bringing Manufacturing Home Fund.

It will create thousands of jobs, provide huge certainty for our supply chains that are currently lacking and give career choices to young people, particularly those outside of Melbourne with a minimum of $1 billion to be spend in Regional Victoria.

Globally, manufacturing is transforming rapidly, and Victoria must keep up.

A vibrant manufacturing sector is critically important to help our state recover and rebuild.

Damien Hartley: The timelines quoted in the article are based on Energy Market Operator modelling analysis. Somehow I reckon they would have a grip on the future/replacement technologies and their limitations (and benefits), and will consider replacement generation requirements for “life after coal”. I think the pressing question is: what are governments (local, state and federal) planning for the future of the Valley? Because we can lobby, campaign (and complain) re: the future of the local coal driven electricity generation as much as we want, but the end of the power industry locally is clearly unavoidable.

December 11, only to find that it was moved to the neighbouring junior oval.

Didn’t take long to find out why given the state of the main ground which resembled a sandy paddock.

This after about half a season’s football on the ground over the last two years.

And the lighting for the game that was played there a couple of Friday nights ago was terrible, very hard to see the ball, on a “premier” ground.

One thing for certain, it will not be Latrobe City Council fault, but you can bet if some visitors come to play at the oval it will look like the MCG and council will be there to sing its own praises.

Roslyn Evans: Don’t they have insurance on their assets like everyone else for these events?

Kerri Kingston: They can’t even keep up with power demand during the summer and they want to charge us extra. Unbelievable!!!

Teresa Savige: Why not just take it out of their maintenance budget. Poor excuse for raising prices.

Katrina Auld: What about customer compensation for all us that have gone without power for days and days this year due to AusNet not having the staffing to fix lines and I am not just talking about that big storms. Electricity has been lost so many times this year and sometimes just the slightest storm or a little wind has impacted power, very unreliable.

Col Richards: It’s their job to maintain those power lines, which includes preventative branch and tree removal, but they don’t do a lot of that since privatisation.

Russell Wright: Just BS … they charge a fortune as it is! If they put the powerlines underground we’d have less of an eyesore and less of problem after storms.

Kat Gration: So they left us stranded for 10 days with no power with dangerous lines around our house trapping us in, nearly electrocuted our whole family, wrecked our fence- and now they want US to pay them extra.

WHEN are our politicians and government bureaucrats going to understand that they are there for the community?

The recent decision by the Department of Education to force government schools to use the major banks and no longer support the community banks is an indictment on the government.

As a person (volunteer) that worked diligently for the establishment of the Trafalgar Bendigo Community Bank, I am devastated at the decision.

We were successful in gaining the support of the community due to all of the major banks leaving town.

This was occurring in many regional towns throughout Victoria.

The Bendigo Community Bank is the only bank providing a valuable service and financial support to the broader community in Trafalgar and Yarragon, as well as other regional areas.

I personally have now reached the point where we in Regional Victoria have to take a stance on what is happening to our communities and the social capital that we have developed with volunteers in the broader community.

We now need to start a campaign to unseat the major parties in both the federal and state governments. The community has to take control and have an influence on the decisions.

Please consider and contact me if you have the same feelings and want to do something.

December 20 - December 26, 2021

Aries There could be misunderstandings

Libra Keep things in perspective this

Taurus The Sun, Mercury, Pluto and retrograde Venus activate your adventure zone so travel and holidays are highlighted. But you could face Covid restrictions that affect where in the world you can actually go. Don’t forget to make a special wish on Christmas Day, that will transport you into exciting new territory in the New Year. Your festive season motto is from this week’s birthday great, writer Henry Miller: “One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.”

Scorpio p With Venus reversing through your

involving work, colleagues or clients, as Venus reverses through your career zone. Saturn squares Uranus on Friday, which could affect your bank balance or your peer group. Despite the challenges, keep your hopes and dreams alive for 2022. You’ll be in a particularly festive mood on Christmas Day, as you enjoy the Yuletide celebrations. But, if you eat and drink and party too much, then you’ll be a cranky Ram on Boxing Day!

GGemini Saturn squares Uranus (in your

self-sabotage zone) so there’s a tendency to be negative and self-critical. Despite the challenges, don’t give up … be adventurous and keep exploring! Your motto for the week is from Gemini actress Nicole Kidman: “Life has got all those twists and turns. You’ve got to hold on tight and off you go.” Gregarious Geminis love to party in style, so you’re in the mood for a fun-filled Yuletide celebration that could end up lasting the whole weekend!

Cancer Sentimental Crabs love the tradi-

tion, fantasy and kindness of the festive season, which highlights your Cancerian compassion, creativity and spirituality. Despite current difficulties, make sure you celebrate Christmas in a way that is extra special, magical and meaningful for you and your family. Your motto for the week is from singer-songwriter-activist Annie Lennox (who was born on December 25)): “Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.”

Leo Sociable Lions love to party and celebrate

in style. With the Sun, Mars and Jupiter all energising your entertainment zone, you’re keen to have fun with family members and close friends you haven’t seen for a long time (in Covid-appropriate ways). Hopefully you’ll pace yourself, so you’re not worn out before Christmas dinner is on the table! Your motto for the festive season is from writer Henry Miller (who was born on Boxing Day): “Do anything but let it produce joy.”

Virgo g The Moon’s in your sign on Christmas

Day, so avoid being bossy and demanding as you rush around trying to organise everything and everyone. Try to keep your perfectionist side under control and be smart enough to rise above silly family squabbles! Make it a priority to slow down and enjoy the festive atmosphere of this special week. You’re the sensible soul of the zodiac so it’s up to you to handle Xmas celebrations, chaos and disruptions with Virgo composure and versatility.

Christmas. Connecting with family members (whether in person or online) is the number-one priority. When it comes to loved ones, expect some dramas as your ruler Venus reverses through your domestic zone. So be extra flexible and diplomatic. Your motto for the week is from writer and raconteur Quentin Crisp, who was born on Xmas Day: “Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities, but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.”

communnication zone, watch what you say. And is a family matter or a relationship issue weighing you down? Strive to get the balance right between fulfilling your responsibilities to other people and creating change for yourself. Uranus demands that you let go of some old habits, routines and beliefs that are no longer serving you. Then there will be room for wonderful experiences, opportunities and people to come into your world in 2022.

Sagittarius g Restless Sagittarius - this

weekk the disruptive Saturn/Uranus square questions the status quo and breaks down rigid patterns of behaviour. Where do you need to make some serious changes in your life? Try to get the balance right between doing things for other people (especially at home and work) and personal freedom. With mighty Mars charging through your sign (until January 24) the more proactive you are the better. But don’t pounce until you have a well-thought-out plan.

Capricorn p Expect some frustrations and

delayys, as retrograde Venus continues reversing through your sign. Pace yourself. There will always be projects to complete and mountains to climb.

But perhaps a close friend or family member needs your attention and affection right here and right now? Saturn (the planet of planning) squares Uranus (the planet of improvisation) on Friday. So do your best to get the ratio right between being a gungg-ho Goat and a cautious Cappricorn this Christmas.

Aquarius With Venus retrograde (in your

self-sabotage zone) and Saturn squaring Uranus (in your family zone) prepare for a few challenges this Christmas. Making a snap decision seems like a good idea but it could backfire. You also need to slow down and think twice before you blurt out something that you later regret. Be clever and uncharacteristically cautious, as you consider situations carefully before you respond. You’re hungry for change but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!

Pisces Prepare for some drama as Saturn,

Uranus and retrograde Venus stir up issues with a relative or friend. Use your diplomatic talents to find practical solutions to current problems. The stars encourage ambitious plans and you’re keen to impress others, but don’t promise more than you can realistically deliver. The more disorganised you are, the more difficult Christmas will be.

Contributing your talent and hard work to a community project will help to balance the karmic ledger.

Thank you to the Valley for supporting our Giving Tree THE Latrobe Valley Express’ Giving Tree has had a successful 2021.

Community members have donated a variety of children’s toys throughout the past month.

“The generosity of our local community grows and grows each year,” The Express’ feature manager Lesley Hogan said.

“The spirit of Christmas is certainly amongst us, and for the so many that donated, we say ‘thank you’.”

Ms Hogan said The Express was proud of the Giving Tree program and the wonderful support it has received from the Latrobe Valley community.

“It’s been a tough year for many, as was last year, and the impact it has unfortunately placed on many families who have suffered financially and emotionally is significant,” she said.

“But, we hope that the joy of receiving the gifts from under the giving tree will place a smile on the faces of the children who receive them”.

In a wonderful display of the Valley’s generosity, close to 1000 presents were donated this year.

All donations went to Anglicare Victoria in Gippsland, who are packing them into hampers for their clients.

Anglicare Victoria works with young people,

children and families to protect them from harm and empower then to overcome challenges. They provide a number of services, including foster care, family violence support and drug and alcohol services.

Anglicare Victoria’s Gippsland administration co-ordinator Susan Hughes said the organisation was immensely grateful for all the donations received.

“Anglicare Gippsland would like to express our appreciation for everyone who donated and participated this year,” she said.

“It was mind-blowing to walk in and see how generous our local community has been in the lead up to Christmas ... the gifts will make a big difference and will put a smile on the faces of many children this Christmas morning.

“Given the year we’ve all had, it’s just an amazing result. There are still so many people out there who are thinking of others, and want to make sure everyone has a good Christmas season.”

Ms Hughes collected the donations in person, and thanked The Express team for choosing Anglicare Victoria in Gippsland as this year’s recipients.

“Thank you so much to The Latrobe Valley Express for making us the recipient of the gifts, it’s really wonderful and we’re exceptionally grateful,” she said.

Morwell flood study undertaken A FLOOD study of Morwell and surrounding areas will be undertaken thanks to federal government funding.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said Latrobe City Council had received $26,000 of funding through the Risk and Resilience Grants Program.

“We have seen the devastation a major flood can cause to our region in recent months, so it is important we are prepared and educated about possible risks for next time,” Mr Chester said.

“The flood study will update flood levels and flood risk of Waterhole Creek and its associated tributaries within Morwell and surrounding areas.

“Having up to date and relevant information

means that in times of heavy rains or possible flooding appropriate decisions and action can be taken by emergency services, residents and others.

“This information will improve our preparation as a region but also our resilience by highlighting any major issues and finding solutions.”

Latrobe City Council and the state government have also contributed funding to the project.

The Risk and Resilience Grants Program is part of the National Partnership Agreement on Disaster Risk Reduction, which aims to reduce the risk and impact of natural disasters in line with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework.

Monsignor John Patrick Allman August, 18, 1925-December 10, 2021

T

he ‘great life’ on Monsignor John Patrick Allman will echo for generations to come across the Diocese of Sale.

A young man from Denison, via Heyfield was ordained d on July 22, 1951 at St Mary’’s Cathedral, Sale.

His dedication and love of the Diocese reminded us how our spiritual lives as clergy is shaped by our people and the place we call home.

signor John Patrick Allman has Vale: Mons scribed as a ‘‘man of Gippsland’’ been des followin ng his death at the age of 96.

To his extended family, Monsignor has been “Seeny”.

An uncle, a cousin and friend.

He found time for each of them and remained deeply connected to each generation.

It was a day of rejoicing g d as a local man responded to the call of God in Jesus Christ to become a priest for the Diocese of Sale.

Fiercely independent, he would, until very recent times, just appear at all manner of family functions, joyful and sad, and take his place as Elder Statesman.

He was a man of Gippsland.

His connection was deeply personal, yet his priesthood was a beacon to guide, to counsel and to honour.

His deep spiritual life was formed by his sense of home and its people.

We mourn the loss of this great priest of Sale.

He had been formed in faith at the hearth of the family farm in Denison.

We rejoice that he has enjoyed such a long and wonderful life.

We are grateful for the profound witness in service of Jesus Christ and his deep devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help through whom he dedicated his life.

The loving witness of hiis father, Daniel, and motheer, Mary, provided a foundattion in Catholic life which sustaiined him throughout his years of ministry and his long life.

His last Mass was celebrated on Saturday afternoon at his bedside at O’Mara House.

He whispered every prayer. He gazed upon the consecrated host and chalice with eyes as though fixed on heaven: A moment when time and eternity were united.

How does one measure the influence which Monsignor Allman has had upon the Catholic Diocese of Sale?

So many years of his ministry had been centred upon St Mary’s Cathedral, and in service of the bishops of Sale, who relied on his administrative skills, vision, business acumen and his gifted pastoral outreach (he has known eight out of ten).

He said he knew Jesus was suffering with him and he was offering his suffering to the Lord.

He blessed his bishop, clergy, people of Sale, invoking the intercession of Our Lady.

His love of St Mary’s Cathedral and the profound influence which shaped its history and restoration will resound.

There was nothing more to do than await the great victory he had preached through his words and actions, the promise of eternal life.

The same too will be remembered at St Michael’s Traralgon, where he enabled the liturgical renewal of the Second Vatican Council to be realised in a daring renovation centred upon the circular altar and sanctuary, and the beautiful windows of the life of Christ.

Above all, he was a dedicated pastor to the people of Sale, Traralgon and surrounding districts.

While he always introduced himself as Father, the name “Mons” is a legend among the thousands of Catholics who encountered his welcoming ministry and found in him a priest after the heart of the Good Shepherd himself.

His extraordinary ability to connect with people has meant that Catholic and non-Catholic alike found a pastoral friend: The “Mons” has held a special place in the homes and hearts of so many.

A certain reflective silence falls upon the Diocese of Sale.

At St Mary’s Cathedral, St Mary’s Bairnsdale, St Michael’s Traralgon and every parish, prayers and Masses will be offered for this good and holy man. photographs supplied

Many will remember his care at the time of family grief and the deep connection he forged in their ‘’valley of darkness’’ as he led them safely to ‘’pastures green.’’

The hundreds of couples he accompanied to their marriage vows and the joys which they would celebrate.

Thousands of families will recall Mons Allman at Sacraments of Initiation.

Others will recall a kindly confessor

at critical moments of conversation.

Others still will recall his proclamation of the Word and the thousands of Masses which he celebrated, uniting his priesthood to Christ.

Monsignor Allman has been a friend among his brother priests and deacons.

He has been a ‘father’’ and a colossus of wisdom, history and a brother in times of struggle.

His life and his death will be remembered in the stories which will be told and as his name falls gently from our lips.

While our hearts are saddened, we can be sure in faith that our brother John will be welcomed by the angels into paradise.

We pray he now enjoys the rewards of his faithful life in the eternal presence of God, whom he dedicated his life, and in the presence of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, upon whose intercession he relied and in whose model of discipleship he lived.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

A kind heart and a helping hand gives families peace of mind this Christmas.

We understand that supporting your loved one is often tiring both physically and emotionally.

This holiday season take a break and relax knowing that your loved one is safe in the care of our professional and experienced staff.

Respite care or Permanent/Palliative care available. Don’t struggle at home, we are here for you.

Management and Staff at Traralgon Aged Care wish you and your Family a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Great times: Shenuli and Brylie on the bus ride.

AFTER cancellations and patiently waiting the Grade 3 and 4 students from Sacred Heart, Morwell were able to attend their annual school camp, after it was postponed earlier in the year.

The children attended Allambee Camp in the last weeks of Term 4.

Their activities included giant swing, flying fox, vertical challenge, hut building, race around the world, archery, night walks and we all enjoyed Murder in the Dark around a camp fire.

At the beginning and after each activity the camp leader discussed the goals for the activities and if the students achieved the goals, they would receive a bead.

At the end of the camp students created bracelets and necklaces representing their success.

The camp environment encouraged the group to focus on the school’s values of Respect, Inclusion and Safety amongst each other.

Students worked together with activities lending themselves to allow leadership, teamwork, positive mindset, independence, relationship and making new friends.

It also was encouraged amongst the students to have a go, try new things and step out of their comfort zone, which many did as did the teachers.

Sacred Heart Primary School would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Allambee Camp for their excellent consideration of the students’ needs and the care shown during the school’s stay.

Pride in community MORWELL Rotarians and guests recently attended the Club’s annual Pride of Workmanship Awards night at the Morwell RSL. Chairman, vocational director Ann Vokes, paid tribute to three local people who were recognised and rewarded for their dedication and commitment to our home environment.

Matthew Peake, Peter Earl and Anne Roberts all have very different interests and responsibilities in the environmental field, and each show true concern in what they do to protect and improve what we have so that we, and new generations, can appreciate and enjoy our own backyard.

Mr Peake, executive officer of Resource Recovery Gippsland, (aka Gippsland Waste & Recovery Group) has been identified by his peers as a leader in his field and one of the most committed and competent officers in the state.

The organisation works with six municipalities throughout Gippsland as well as state government, businesses, industries and most importantly, supporting environmental education in school communities.

Mr Peake has had to deal with many changes to government legislation and waste management structures and he has met every challenge efficiently and effectively.

Mr Earl’s background in environment issues was initially that of a volunteer growing and planting native plants.

Recently, since joining the Yinnar, Yinnar South Landcare Group, (YYSL) he has focused on restoring vegetation in the Middle Creek area following the 2019 fire and has become more active in environmental weeding and collecting local indigenous seed for propagation and direct seeding.

He plays a critical role in co-ordinating the group’s activities.

Mr Earl usually personally plants and grows 1500 seedlings a year, and due to COVID restrictions, undertook almost all of the 2021 YYSL planting in Middle Creek on his own with zero budget.

Ms Roberts has maintained her interest and dedication to the Crinigan Road Bush Reserve for over 23 years.

Despite many challenges along the way such as engaging volunteers and lack of interest from

others, she is now seeing her years of hard work bringing about great improvements in the bush reserve.

The small group of four dedicated volunteers, during regular working bees, have planted over 3000 trees and shrubs and grasses over the past year.

They are immensely proud of their work and Ms Roberts is seen as the driving force that has brought about great improvements in the reserve.

The reserve is now fenced with roads and tracks formed, and public picnic facilities to enjoy.

Rotary president David McInnes presented the awards and citations to each recipient and commented how Rotary Club members appreciated the opportunity of recognising and thanking our local achievers who work hard to improve our community life.

The spirit of giving From Little Chips

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL Neighbourhood House (MNH) have distributed 220 Christmas Hampers to local families this year.

Over one day, 10 volunteers from MNH and AGL Loy Yang got together to assemble the very special hampers for vulnerable members of the community.

Each hamper was filled with a variety of items, including a variety of Christmas treats and pantry staples.

“During the year we give out a lot of food staples ... but for Christmas we were really wanted to make it a lot more special and significant,” MNH manager Tracie Lund said.

“We were really looking for things that were festive and fun ... while there were some staples, but we were able to really pack them out with some festive foods and Christmas treats.”

Ms Lund said that this year MNH receive about 100 more requests for hampers than previous years, a testament to the difficult times the region has just emerged from.

“We did need more people than usual, and we had to stretch our goodies a long way, and we did

get there. It’s been a really rough could of years for everybody, it’s been burdensome, it’s been exhausting, there’s not been a lot of things that you can point to and be really happy about, or that we are looking forward too,’’ she said.

“But what I saw on Monday was a group of people that came together with a purpose to support somebody else... everybody was happy to be there, and it was a real joy to be a part of that team.”

Ms Lund thanked the community for their generosity and the AGL for their assistance on the day.

“I’d like to give thanks to everyone that donated, and certainly a big shout out to AGL who not only donated, but then also sent us staff,” she told The Express.

“We had quite a lot of donors in our community, that brought food to us in the weeks leading up to the day.”

Ms Lund made special mention to the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council, who got the ball rolling with a very special donation.

“They kicked the ball off with a very generous donation of $1500 ... we’ve got lots of support,” she said.

Trust chairman retires on a high note FOR more than 50 years, Neville Johnson has been looking out for the interest of the Traralgon community.

A former secondary school teacher, Mr Johnson has recently announced his retirement from the Keith Chenhall Community Trust Advisory Committee on which he has served as chair for many years.

The Trust, established by the late Keith Chenhall, provides funds to local organisations so that they may contribute to improving the well-being of the Traralgon community.

Announcing his retirement Mr Johnson recounted that he, Mr Chenhall and Trust secretary Pratish Bandopadhayay approached Perpetual Trustee’s for assistance in setting up the Keith Chenhall Foundation more than 20 years ago.

Since that time close to $1 million has been contributed to the Traralgon community.

Latrobe Regional Hospital, the Traralgon Guides and Scouts, the Historical Society, the Eisteddfod, Berry Street and the Traralgon Band have been just some of the some of the beneficiaries during that time.

Expression of Interest are currently being received for the 2022 funding applications.

Another well-known Traralgon identity, Robert Farmer has also recently announced his retirement from the Trust Advisory Committee.

Newly appointed chair Ian Keith commented that the contribution of both men had been an asset to the community.

“Neville’s wise and gentle counsel has guided the Advisory Committee over many years ensuring our decisions have maintained and reflected Keith’s values and standards,” Mr Keith said.

“Robert’s contribution has been grounded in his deep understanding of the local community acquired over a lifetime and we will miss them both.”

Neil Dunbar was recently appointed to the Advisory Committee joining Mr Keith, Mr Bandopadhayay, Bernie Carrington, Louise Grzegorczyn and Jenny Hammett to continue the work of the Foundation in distributing trust funds to the Traralgon community.

Scholarships on offer: Gippsland Water managing director Sarah Cumming and Federation University Gippsland Head of Campus Leigh Kennedy announced the new Gippsland Water Scholarship to local female students worth up to $9000 each. photograph supplied

Success to flow from new partnership GIPPSLAND Water has partnered with Federation University Australia to offer scholarships to local female students worth up to $9000 each.

The Gippsland Water Scholarship offers Gippsland-based women studying engineering or science degrees at Federation University’s Gippsland campus $3000 per year for the first three years of their course to help with their studies.

Up to two new Gippsland Water Scholarships will be offered per year.

Managing director Sarah Cumming said she hoped the scholarships would help each recipient to focus on their studies and get the most out of their degree, so they could confidently pursue a career in their chosen field while remaining in Gippsland.

“We know that women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) careers,” Ms Cumming said.

“Encouraging local women and girls to pursue careers in STEM is something we’re really passionate about.

“These scholarships are about providing that pathway from secondary school, through university, to a rewarding career in engineering or science.”

Ms Cumming conceded that achieving a gender balance in STEM careers will take time, but initiatives like this one could help begin to bridge the gap.

“We want to help more women achieve fulfilling careers in STEM, right here in Gippsland, including through opportunities at Gippsland Water.”

Search is on for candidates A GIPPSLAND community search has been launched to find two candidates to represent the Monash and Gippsland electorates in the 2022 federal election.

The process Community Representation for Monash and Gippsland is being backed by centrist group the Sensible Centre which aims to preselect candidates in 150 federal electorates.

The movement represents voters who do not identify as either right, left, progressive or conservative.

The group is separate to Voices 4 Monash, which is also fielding expressions of interest from locals to stand as an Independent candidate.

Former Baw Baw Shire councillor and Yarragon woman Inge Mitchell said both groups had similar aims, to either reduce sitting Liberal Member Russell Broadbent’s majority, or “send him on his way to retirement”.

“Our democracy is broken. Most of us no longer feel represented by anyone in Canberra,” Ms Mitchell said.

“We’d love to see hundreds of people across Gippsland get involved in sending two genuine community reps to Canberra next year when the federal election is held.

“No-one wants more of the same old. Everyone is over it.”

Ms Mitchell said they were also looking for a broad range of people to jump on board to help formulate policies as the project was in its early stages.

Group member Leah Nielsen said issues including practical solutions for climate change were of importance.

“Our social fabric is facing stresses from all directions. Families face intense pressures in raising kids and in dealing with mental health, education, housing and employment challenges,” Ms Nielsen said.

“Government agencies are often impersonal and unresponsive when you really need them.

Corruption and unethical behaviour seem to flow out of Canberra like mountain streams.”

The recipients are also likely to be given the opportunity to participate in Gippsland Water’s summer vacation program – a paid, 12-week employment term that gives the students handson experience in their area of interest within the organisation.

Federation University Gippsland Head of Campus Leigh Kennedy said it was wonderful to work with Gippsland Water to support tomorrow’s scientists and engineers.

“We know that the majority of students who study locally, go on to live and work locally,” Ms Kennedy said.

“This partnership to support young Gippsland women into STEM education means that local

female students can get financial support to study, and importantly have a strong connection to Gippsland Water for on-the-job experience and work placement.”

Two scholarships will be advertised to female Gippsland-based engineering or science students starting their degree at FedUni’s Gippsland campus in 2022.

Applications open on January 17 and close March 4, 2022.

Students can find out more and apply for the Gippsland Water Scholarship at https://federation. edu.au/gippsland-water-scholarship

Apply now for scholarships at Grammar

GIPPSLAND Grammar is offering local parents an opportunity to get the best education for their child at a fraction of the normal price.

The highly regarded independent school is offering academic and general excellence scholarships to students entering Years 5-11 in 2023 at each of the three campus – St Anne’s and Bairnsdale junior campuses and Garnsey senior campus.

Registrations must be lodged before Monday, February 7, 2022 with age-appropriate tests sat on Saturday, February 26.

Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper encouraged locals ‘to get in first’ and visit the school’s website for full details.

Gippsland Grammar is renowned for valuing a holistic education where the gifts and talents of its students can be nurtured, according to Mrs Harper.

“While our school has a strong academic focus, we are also equally committed to the development of the whole child and have a strong co-curricular program that includes rowing, equestrian and a broad range of outdoor education pursuits,” Mrs Harper said.

“Our students are at the heart of all we do, and this is reflected in our purpose; a Passion for Excellence.

“Regardless of the pathway students pursue after school, we know that young people need rich, engaging learning experiences during their formative years.

“Year in, year out, the results of our VCE students are outstanding and puts them among the best in the state.”

Mrs Harper encouraged anyone interested in a Gippsland Grammar education to apply for a scholarship or discuss your child’s education with the Gippsland Grammar Enrolments Team by phoning 5143 6388.

Additional learning opportunities can be also found on the school’s website www.gippsland grammar.vic.edu.au Music Scholarships will also be offered next year. Closing date for applications will be Friday, March 4, 2022 with the audition date set for Friday, March 25, 2022.

Team effort: Sarina, Annie, Banjo and Cheyne put a lot of planning into their activities.

Students make valued donation to headspace

VCAL senior students from TAFE Gippsland’s Morwell campus recently donated $200 to headspace.

Annie, Sarina, Zac and Cheyne successfully completed their studies despite the many lockdowns – but they were well aware of the cost to many people’s mental health that the pandemic has had.

For much of their project work this year, the group has chosen to focus on mental health – researching and developing a range of activities to support others through isolation – as well as becoming more aware of how to help themselves as well.

“For our first project for Mental Health Month a lot of the different activities we chose to encourage better mental health were very generalised towards a wide range of preferences, like colouring, exercise, word searches, and more,” Cheyne said.

“But, because of lockdown our options were

limited and we made small care packages to send out, however in the timeframe feedback was also limited.

“We decided as a group a scavenger hunt would work as good exercise, communication and fun!

After we completed the activities it was a mutual conclusion that we were all feeling better mentally.”

For their final enterprise activity, the four worked with other students to produce and sell a range of giftware and cards through a Christmas stall.

“Following our Mental Health Month project we had to decide on a charity, that out of the many charities that help anyone and everyone around the country and the world, which one to donate whatever money we did make from our small market,” Cheyne said.

“Choosing headspace not only allowed us to follow through on our mental health journey but also allowed us to feel like we are contributing and making a difference in our community.”

Community groups welcome latest EnergyAustralia grants

500 people. Our people love that these grants enable them to support and connect with their community,” Mr McIntyre said.

Newborough East Primary School principal Julie Skee said the grant would make a positive difference to its 345 students.

“We’ll use our grant to buy 28 iPads with covers,” she said.

“The students in our STEM program will use them to learn about coding, robotics and science. Plus, it’ll help them build their skills in digital technologies and better prepare them for secondary school.”

EnergyAustralia’s grant to Moe Yallourn Rail Trail will enable 1000 native trees to be planted alongside Sullivan’s Bridge.

While the funding provided to the Asbestos Council of Victoria will mean it can hold an educational webinar during Asbestos Awareness Week.

Each year, Yallourn provides more than $140,000 in community grants and sponsorships.

Learning: A grant from EnergyAustralia will enable Newborough East Primary School to purchase iPads for its STEM program.

MOE Yallourn Rail Trail, Thorpdale Primary School, Newborough East Primary School, PowerWorks and Asbestos Council of Victoria (GARDS) are the latest recipients of $24,934 in community grants from EnergyAustralia Yallourn.

EnergyAustralia’s Yallourn Community Grants program supports community projects and initiatives within the Latrobe Valley that are focused on improving education and social inclusion.

EnergyAustralia’s Head of Yallourn Greg McIntyre, said his team was excited to be funding five worthy new initiatives.

Donation to the House

TRARALGON Centre Plaza (TCP) are celebrating Christmas by giving back to the community.

The plaza made a generous donation to Morwell Neighbourhood House on Friday, December 10.

Late last month, the centre hosted a Santa Arrival Breakfast, which saw more than $1000 raised in tickets.

Many businesses within the Plaza donated their time and products to help make the event a success.

For the event, Red Fox Party Supplies donated balloon displays, and other retailers provided food at a special price.

Notably, Boost Juice and Donut King helped out on the day.

TCP has donated all the money raised from the tickets to the local Foodbank, run by Morwell Neighbourhood House (MNH).

“We are all about supporting the community,” TCP marketing manager Adele Nardino said.

Ms Nardino said the support from TCP businesses in their efforts has been “amazing”.

The money will go towards items to go in the Foodbank’s Christmas hampers, which manager

Tracie Lund said MNH have received more than 200 requests for so far.

“All the support we get from the community ensures that we are able to support the growing need at Christmas time ... we want everyone to have the best Christmas possible,” Ms Lund said.

There have been very little fundraising opportunities for MNH during the pandemic, Ms Lund explained, and they are grateful for the donation from TCP and the wider community.

“It really shows the true spirit of the community,” she said.

The MNH Christmas Donation Drive, sees the charity assemble donations of non-perishable foods into hampers.

These hampers are then distributed to local families that are in need of a hand this Christmas.

To assist MNH, a tub was placed outside TCP gift-wrapping station for community members to donate non-perishable items to the charity.

TCP also partnered with outreach program Mick’s Kitchen, donating $500 to help fund a Christmas dinner for those accessing their services.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS STUDY INTO SEC STRUCTURE

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

The SEC has appointed Melbourne-based management consultants McKinsey and Co to look at its organisational structure for the ‘’challenges ahead”.

SEC chief general manager George Bates said “We have now decided to seek assistance from a major external industry consultant to help us assess ways of ensuring that the SEC is in the best possible shape, organisationally, to meet all the challenges ahead.”

FUN FACT: Perry Mason – The Case Of The All-Star Assassin was the Saturday night movie on Southern Cross Television (Channel 8). The Man From Snowy River was broadcast on GTV 9, while Howard The Duck appealed to a younger demographic on ATV 10.

WELCOME to the latest instalment of Looking Back Through The Years.

Here’s what was making news in the pages of The Express during these points of our proud history.

50 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1971

VARSITY PLAN FOR AREA

A Latrobe Valley educationist has plans for an independent ‘’earn as you learn’’ university and secondary school for the area.

He is Ivan Maddern, who retired this month as principal of Morwell High School.

Under Mr Maddern’s principalship, Morwell High built a worldwide reputation for its studies of the international language Esperanto.

He hopes to start the institutions – both operating by correspondence course – next February.

TENDERS FOR MOE’S HALL

Moe City Council will call tenders, closing January 21, for extensions to the Moe City Hall.

Cost is estimated to be about $16,500.

The extensions will provide a supper room and kitchen at the hall, and cover an area of 83ft by 13 ft.

NANGKITA LAD BOUNCES BACK INTO TOP FORM

Nangkita Lad, 2/1, lifted the hopes of his owner-trainer Arthur Hare, with a one and a quarter length win in the 9 ½ furlong (1900m) Ian Jennings Handicap at Traralgon on Saturday.

When last in training, Nangkita Lad suffered with a mysterious back ailment and while many thought the gelding’s racing days were over, Hare was determined to find a solution and get the horse back to its best.

FUN FACT: Top Melbourne group Exit were locked in to perform at the Great Pow-Wow New Year’s Eve dance spectacular at the Karma Ballroom in Buckley Street, Morwell.

40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1981

WANTED – SOME LOVE

The RSPCA has already started its Christmas collection of dumped, deserted and unwanted animals, and is anticipating a season, not of festivity of cheer, but one of cruelty, hunger and misery for animals deserted by their owners.

According to Latrobe Valley RSPCA representative Sue Bird, the RSPCA is already finding it difficult to place animals in good homes.

“We have reached saturation point and the sales tax on pet food is going to put added strain on the situation,” she said.

FERNBANK SITE DROPPED

The SEC has dropped one of its possible Fernbank power station sites in the Traralgon South-Callignee area.

It is the number three site, the most westerly of three south of the Loy Yang

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1991 project, which means that the new Traralgon South township area will now be excluded from the SEC’s ‘’area of interest’’.

The SEC also plans to provide an appropriate buffer area between the township and any proposed major works in the area.

MOE WORKS FOR A WIN IN RUN FEAST

Moe defeated Newborough in a very high standard game by 36 runs in Saturday’s CGCA 12th round.

Darryl Thompson played a great innings, making 72, while Brian McKenzie (33), Steve Janeczyk (30), Paul Spiteri (25) and Bill Pace (24) contributed to the cause as Moe amassed 9/221 off only 45 overs.

The total would have been almost impossible for Newborough to reach and they did well to defy the Moe attack to finish at 7/185 with Neil Graham scoring a fine 73.

FUN FACT: An excellent three-bedroom brick veneer home in the top area of Newborough was advertised for sale at $69,000 with G. R. Billingsley Real Estate, Moe. 30 YEARS AGO FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1991

MID VALLEY SALE SOON

Mid Valley Shopping Centre is expected to be sold early next year.

Selling agents, Jones Lang Wooton of Melbourne, confirmed that negotiations with ‘’several parties had been going on for some time”.

Agency spokesman Mark Stenhouse told The Express yesterday he had hoped the centre would be sold before Christmas, but he was now looking at early January.

MOE SHOWS CHRISTMAS SPIRIT FOR THE NEEDY

The Christmas spirit is alive and well in Moe. John Farquharson of the Moe Salvation Army said people had dug deep into their pockets this Christmas to help those suffering the effects of the recession.

“The generosity is touching and what we are seeing is the haves rallying to help the have nots,” he added.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1971

20 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2001

10 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2011

DEMAND FOR HELP IS HIGH, BUT NEED MET

Demand for help from charity organisations leading up to Christmas is always high, but this year local charities say donations have managed to meet that demand.

Charities report a higher than usual number of donations being made by ‘’generous local people’’ and say without that support, they simply could not meet the need.

This year, the Salvation Army has had a greater demand for toys, food and clothing than last year.

Similarly, demand for services from the St Vincent de Paul Society are on a par with Christmas last year, while Latrobe Valley Foodbank has also had many generous donations.

CHRISTMAS ROAD BLITZ

Police will use every speed-reading device available to them this year in an annual Christmas speed blitz.

While a visible police presence will be seen on the highways and around towns, drivers should be aware that their speed will also be monitored by laser and radar guns, mobile mode radars fitted to police cars and digitech speed readers fitted to the roads.

ALFORD SHINES IN BRIGHTON EVENT

Newborough’s Graeme Alford took out the 40 to 44 year age group section in race two of the Gatorade Triathlon Series held in Brighton recently.

Alford, along with locals Darren Cowell, Mick Taylor and Warwick Ford, joined 600 competitors to contest the 500m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run event.

Alford raced strongly throughout the event to post an overall time of one hour and 42 seconds.

FUN FACT: You could stock up for Christmas with a 30-can block of Victorian Bitter for $34.98 from Manny’s Liquor.

MORE BEDS NEEDED

Gippsland will need nearly 80 new hospital beds over the next 10 years to cope with a forecast growth in need, according to health statistics just released by the state government.

The data showed this region had ‘’indicators of high health need and risk’’.

The Rural and Regional Health Plan: Technical Paper was released by State Health Minister David Davis last Friday.

Concerns were raised for health across Gippsland, not the least being lower than average life expectancy rates for men and women in Central West Gippsland compared with other Victorian regions.

LOY YANG POWER OPEN FOR TRADE

Loy Yang Power has assured the public it is both solvent and open for trade after widespread Melbourne media reports this week suggested its future was in doubt.

It is believed an inside industry tip-off about the company’s upcoming debt refinancing obligations prompted the speculation.

The fall-out pushed LYP chief executive Ian Nethercote into damage control.

KEYHOE IN GREAT TOUCH

Yallourn North teenager Josh Keyhoe leads the Central Gippsland Cricket Association first grade batting aggregate at the Christmas break.

Keyhoe has tallied 248 runs at an average of 31, including two half-centuries, from nine innings.

In the bowling stakes, three bowlers remain tied at the top of the list.

Lucas Fry from Yallourn North and Mirboo North duo Dale Banks and Liam Smit have each snared 13 scalps, with Smit sporting the superior strike-rate of a wicket every 21.62 deliveries.

FUN FACT: A steel lattice back park bench with cast iron legs could be yours for $59 from Bunnings.

CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT Nine, Christmas Eve, 8pm

While a lot has changed since Carols by Candlelight began in 1938 as a way to bring people, including the less fortunate, together to celebrate carols and the Christmas spirit, the old-school tunes haven’t changed one bit. The rest of it? Well, the glitz and glamour of the production is a lot more fancy and tightly orchestrated, but the festive feeling remains. Live from Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, hosts David Campbell and Allison Langdon (both pictured) are joined by old favourites including Marina Prior and Anthony Callea, along with the Melbourne Gospel Choir.

FBI: MOST WANTED 10, Monday, 8.30pm

YOUNG SHELDON 9Go!, Tuesday, 7pm

American police procedurals are reliably slick affairs, and there’s arguably no one better to create one than Dick Wolf, the veteran producer of the prolific Law & Order franchise, as well as this engaging series. While viewers can expect a crime to be committed and then enthrallingly solved by a bunch of world-weary police investigators, this series stands out from the pack in Australia because of its stars.

Boasting American heartthrob Kellan Lutz (Twilight), it also features Aussie Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) and Kiwi-Aussie Keisha CastleHughes (Whale Rider). In “Unhinged”, Hana (Castle-Hughes, pictured) rejoins the team and experiences a raft of new adjustments as an arson case leads to a decades-old secret.

This sweet and inspired spin-off from The Big Bang Theory is nothing like its predecessor and, as we round out season four, it’s a comedy that has always harboured a quiet confidence. We bid adieu to the season with “The Wild and Woolly World of Nonlinear Dynamics”, and fans can look forward to more family friendly, slightly quirky drama with season five waiting, along with more lively episode titles. Expect high drama for Sheldon (Iain Armitage, pictured) and his household when Missy’s (Raegan Revord) first heartbreak triggers a series of events that lead every member of the Cooper family to the brink.

Fans of the original show might have an inkling of what’s to come. Prepare for an unsettling conclusion.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE THIS CHRISTMAS

Book Week: Gryffindors Emily takes on Slytherins Zane in a magical battle.

Egg-celent: Silky Hen, Pippa struts her stuff.

photographs supplied

Old world meets new at Kossie STUDENTS at Kosciuszko Street Primary School finally got to celebrate Book Week in style.

Combined with a book fair that went all week, the celebration finished with a dress up day and parade to show off some very inspired costumes.

The theme this year was Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds, and students eagerly dressed in costume to represent their favourite characters from many different genres of literature.

There were robots, elves, witches, wizards, dragons, unicorns and Bluey just to name a few.

An Egyptian Mummy and even Tweedle Dumb, Tweedle Dee and the White Rabbit left Alice’s world to make an appearance.

The Tardis also landed at Kossie for a visit from a Time Lord and Ash took a break

Back to the future: Time Lord, Max traveled through time to be at the Book Fair.

On the case: Inspector Sampson Bubblewrap chats with Elf, Charlotte about the Book Week parade. from training Pikachu and Eevee, to share some ideas.

We also had a silky hen strut her stuff during one of the grade level parades.

Students had a great time showing off their costumes in their age groups and money raised from the Book Fair will go towards more books in the Kossie library.

Double act: Twins, Audrina and Harmony were Super Women for the day.

The generosity shown by members of our local community has been amazing!

To see the overwhelming number of gifts for the less fortunate local children both under and surrounding the Christmas Tree certainly shows the kind-heartedness of those we live with, and work with, in our local communities, side by side every day.

Feel the warmth on Christmas Day as you wake up knowing that you really have made a difference this Christmas.

Thank You

Fun day: Tegan, Elisabeth and Emerald leave Alice behind to hop into the parade.

The summer brings fantastic hot and sunny days with plenty of great outdoor experiences, beaches, barbeques, boating and time spent just lying around.

Sun and UV exposure however is cumulative and whilst messages in print and on television warn about the dangers of the sun it is almost impossible to live in Gippsland without experiencing some degree of solar skin damage.

An annual skin check takes only a short time but it can save a lot of time dealing with a melanoma or other serious skin cancers.

Fortunately melanomas are found less frequently than other skin cancers and if detected and removed early, that can be all that is necessary.

A is for Asymmetry or for not being quite circular.

D is for Diameter, with the size of the spot being wider than the barrel of the pencil or a pen, larger than 6mm in diameter.

This should be done with good illumination such as a headlight and under magnification using telescopic head-mounted lenses and any blemishes that appear not quite right should be removed.

sometimes a sore that does not want to heal.

C is for Colour with the spot having an uneven colour with a darker area within it.

For juust

Skin cancer surveillance is a simple and involves a diligent process of examination and scrutiny by an experienced doctor and should involve a top-to-toe careful examination of all surfaces of the body.

The features of a melanoma are usually summarized as the ABC’s and is found widely on the internet.

B is for Border irregularity where the edge of the spot looks wavy or jagged.

F it f or Life

Melanoma represent only about 4% of all skin cancers but are pottenttiallly letthall. The greattestt riiskk facttor for mellanoma or otther skin cancers apart from sun exposure is previously having one diagnosed and removed.

The commonest skin cancers are Squamous Cell Cancers SCCs or Basal Cell Cancers or BCCs. BCCs are the commonest form of human cancer as the skin is the largest organ and arise from the deepest layer of the skin.

They typically look like red geographic skin blemishes or in their most mature form, a lesion with a rolled pearly edge and ulcerated centre. SCCs look like crusty flaky lesions

In either case a skin lesion hanging around for more than a month that does not heal, looks odd or bleeds needs to reviewed by an experienced practitioner and removed. Both squamous cell cancers and basal cell cancers can appear on any part of the body but they tend to occur in anatomical areas with the highest exposure to the sun, which are on the face, the forearms and hand and also the legs. Gippsland Melanoma and Skin Cancer Clinic is a service run by Mr Adrian Aitken a specialist general surgeon. His practice offers a diagnostic service for skin checks through to definitive skin cancer care including special anatomical sites such as the face and nose, eyelids, ears and lips.

IN a tumultuous year of restrictions, St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School Junior School students have remained committed to rehearsing non-stop for their Lion King musical.

The cast were ecstatic recently to have had the opportunity to perform on stage – albeit in front of a video camera!

A story about an energetic lion cub named Simba, the Lion King musical is based on the 1994 Disney animated feature film and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Students from Prep to Year 6 were involved, with Year 6 students performing main character roles and other year levels singing favourites such as “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”.

Families will soon be able to enjoy the recording of their children’s performance and witness the culmination of the joy their children have experienced in preparing for a ‘modified’ musical.

news

THE Salvation Army is hoping to raise $20 million this year across the country as they launch their annual Christmas Appeal that supports Aussies doing it tough during the festive season.

As Australians near the end of a second year that has been impacted by social and economic burden of COVID-19, the Salvos anticipate the needs of Aussies at Christmas will reach a new peak under the pressure of the pandemic.

“Christmas is the busiest time of the year for The Salvos across the country, and we expect this year to be no different. While Christmas is a time of joy and celebration for many, others doing it tough in our community find it an extremely difficult period for them personally,” Major John Farquharson said.

“The increased isolation, financial stress and mental health impacts of COVID-19 this year will only exacerbate these issues.

“The Salvos want to leave no one in need this Christmas, and we need the generosity of the public this year to once again partner with us in support of locals doing it really tough.”

Last year during the Christmas period, The Salvation Army distributed over 64,000 hampers and vouchers worth more than $1.89 million to those finding it almost impossible to make ends meet and gave out over 26,000 gifts and toys to families in need of a hand.

The Salvos also supported the vulnerable by providing over 130,000 meals across the country, more than 66,000 beds for those needing a place to stay and supporting over 10,000 families with accommodation during the festive season.

“Anyone in need this Christmas can reach out to us at Latrobe Doorways, 57 Bridle Road Morwell by calling 5126 7100 and we’ll do all we can to support you,” Major Farquharson said.

“We don’t want anyone to go it alone this year, if you need food, gifts, financial support or are feeling lonely, please get in touch with us.

“We are also in need of our local community to dig deep and provide donations to The Salvation Army to ensure that we can support our local community in need this Christmas.

“We are in need of food, Christmas celebration goods, toys and presents for teenagers and adults.”

The Salvation Army’s network of for-purpose retail stores, Salvos Stores, also provide a great affordable option for your Christmas shopping this year.

Whether it is a fresh Christmas Day outfit, present ideas for the family or a DIY decoration project for the house, there is always something special to be found.

Not only does Salvos Stores provide great value on quality items, it is also environmentally friendly and supports the work of The Salvos across the country, 100 per cent of the profits raised through Salvos Stores go towards The Salvation Army Community Programs supporting Australians doing it tough.

“Christmas offers us a time to reflect

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

and connect with one another and celebrate the joy of community. Connection will be more important than ever this year, so look out for your mate, check in on family and embrace the true meaning of Christmas. From all of us at The Salvos, we wish you a very happy Christmas,” Major Farquharson said.

To leave no one in need this Christmas, please donate to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal at salvationarmy.org. au or by calling 13 SALVOS (13 72 58).

Donations can also be made in person at any Salvos Store and Kmart store, or round up your instore purchase at any Myer store.

Vaccine helpers

A NEW program funded by Gippsland Primary Health Network can help people having difficulty accessing their vaccination certificate or linking it to the Services Victoria app.

Both Latrobe City Council and Wellington Shire Council are delivering the Gippsland PHN funded Vaccine Helpers program to assist community members who may be having difficulty with the process.

In Latrobe, people can drop into one of the four libraries or the four leisure centres (Morwell, Traralgon, Moe and Churchill) and staff will help.

In Wellington, people can call at the Maffra Library, Yarram Customer Service area, Sale Customer Service area (Desailly Street offices), Heyfield Library and Rosedale Library.

Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the feedback to date was positive with community members appreciating the assistance.

“Some people have sought help to create their MyGov account, set up their Medicare app, download their vaccination certificate, link their vaccination status and even print out a hard copy of their proof of vaccination which is then laminated,” Ms Proposch said.

“Community members are also assisted to book vaccine or booster appointments as well. This is often not as easy as it sounds, especially for people who are not familiar with technology.

“We are very pleased that many people in the community are taking advantage of this assistance.”

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the program made finding answers to issues arising from the state government’s COVID vaccination requirements easier for the community.

“We know that there are people in our community who face barriers to accessing government services or cannot easily navigate the digital maze we are all walking,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Libraries are a safe, inclusive space where the experienced and patient staff can take the customer through the process of linking certificates, setting up MyGov accounts or even booking a vaccination appointment.”

The funding from Gippsland PHN has supported staff with new iPads and printers to help streamline the process. South Gippsland Shire will join

this project over the coming weeks. It is hoped other Gippsland councils will also join the program which runs until April 2022.

Anglican Christmas Service

THE Anglican Christmas service of the parish of Moe-Newborough will be held on Saturday, December 25 from 9.30am at St Aidan’s Anglican Church, Newborough.

Play your part this Clean Up Australia Day

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

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

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

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

“Our habits changed during COVID and most of these haven’t been kind

" !

on the environment. Surges in online shopping, meal delivery services and the use of disposable face masks and coffee cups, mean the environment is feeling the after-effects of the pandemic in ways not seen before.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Book, and Garage Sale, on January 15, 2022 from 9am till 2pm at Monash Hall in Yallourn North.

MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of Traralgon installed fairy lights in the trees of Franklin Street across the CBD of Traralgon.

A club spokesperson said that as there wasn’t a Christmas Parade this year for the second year in a row the club thought that the CBD needed brightening up.

It was hoped to put a smile on people’s faces this Christmas. The installation work started early in the morning and was completed over two mornings.

The Rotary Club of Traralgon said it hopes that next year the Community Christmas Parade will be able to go ahead with all the fun and events as before.

The elf was seen to make an appearance in one of the trees!

So hope all the children are being extra good before Santa arrives.

Initiative to deliver increase of mental health services for young people in the Latrobe Valley LABOR Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing announced that Latrobe Regional Hospital will share in $16.3 million to expand the Mobile Targeted Assertive Outreach mental health teams statewide, supporting more than 560 extra young Victorians every year.

These vital outreach teams provide specialised support to Victorians aged 12 to 25 who are particularly vulnerable or at risk of disengaging with the system, reaching out to provide intensive one-on-one care in a setting young people feel comfortable with, and are likely to continue to engage in.

“This is a profound investment in young Victorians across the Latrobe Valley region with complex needs – with outreach support to make sure nobody falls through the cracks of our mental health system, no matter what their life circumstances are,” Ms Shing said.

The teams work to identify and treat mental illness in young people, support and educate their families, minimise interruption to their educational and social lives, and support them to manage their ongoing health and recovery.

The extra support will enable the Infant, Child and Youth Area Mental Health and Wellbeing Service at Latrobe Regional Hospital to reach more young Victorians in crisis each year – ensuring young people in the Latrobe Valley can be supported with the specialised care they need, in their own communities.

The mobile teams are staffed by a variety of workers including psychiatric nurses, doctors, family and occupational therapists, psychologists and social workers – and importantly include youth peer workers with lived experience of the mental health system, who can connect to at-risk young people more effectively than traditional clinicians.

Stories are Strong campaign GIPPSLAND Primary Health Network (PHN) has launched a new suicide prevention campaign.

The campaign, Stories are Strong, features inspiring stories of hope and recovery, as well as expert advice and resources.

PHN’s work on the campaign has been informed by interviews with a diverse group of people, each who have lived experience of suicide and experts in the field.

Stories are Strong, is aimed at helping people become more compassionate, wise and resourced to understand suicide said Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch.

“The Stories Are Strong articles provide inspiring and positive messages of hope and recovery that showcase the strength, resilience and connectedness of our diverse community,” she told The Express.

“It is for community, employers, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters.

“Each story and interview overwhelmingly reinforces themes that you are never alone, there is always someone you can talk to and there is a path to recovery with resources and support.”

Ten stories of lived experience are included in the campaign, four interviews with experts in the field, and four resource sheets.

One story included is from Barkindji man Sam Weston, who did 169 push-ups every day for two weeks in preparation for the Push-Up Challenge.

Each individual push-up was for every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person who lost their life to suicide in 2018.

“I’ve got anxiety and depression,” Sam said.

“Everyone has issues to deal with, but for me, it’s been a big part of my life. So, I took on the push-up challenge to raise funds for mental health.

It’s pretty meaningful to be able to do something for others.”

Lifeline Gippsland assisted PHN with the formation of the campaign.

Chief executive officer Michelle Possingham said

that is just as important to seek help for mental health as it is for physical health.

“Just as we all have physical health, we all have mental health, and there are times when we need to reach out to someone to get physical or mental health back on track,” she said.

“It’s a natural part of the human experience to have times when we feel down, anxious or overwhelmed. If we can come together as a community to support each other, we will have a safer community and ultimately communities that are suicide-free.”

Ms Possingham said that sharing personal stories through the campaign would help promote important messages and decrease the stigma surrounding suicide.

“For years people were fearful about talking

about suicide because there was a misconception that talking about it might encourage someone to act on their thoughts,” she said.

“Research tells us that this is not the case, and that sharing stories can help people to better understand the resources available to them and encourage them to reach out for support.

“We are proud of Gippsland, and the way that our community responds and reaches out to those around them that they know are struggling. The Stories Are Strong campaign will help to further promote this, and break down barriers such as stigma that may prevent people from reaching out for support.”

AGL’s summer readiness program completed AGL Energy has completed a near $248 million summer readiness program at cola and gas plants including Loy Yang A, Liddell, Bayswater, and Torrens Island power stations.

AGL chief operating officer Markus Brokhof said preparing for summer was a year-round task for the nation’s largest energy generator.

Mr Brokhof said the company’s summer readiness program has been running for 11 years and was critical to providing reliable power while also maintaining safe operations in peak demand.

“Summer places an enormous strain on both our

energy generation infrastructure and the people who maintain it,” Mr Brokhof said.

“Thousands of dedicated people will work throughout the holiday period in tough conditions to make sure our system is as resilient and reliable as possible.”

Mr Brokhof said there were increased risks of an outage as summer demand increased, which was why the company invested in the readiness program and fire mitigation throughout the year.

“As we prepare for the closure of Liddell, beginning with the first unit retiring in April next

year, maintaining our other generation sites is more important than ever,” he said.

“Importantly, after a challenging few years in our regional communities across Australia our summer readiness program supports our communities, bringing hundreds of contractor workers to town and providing a much-needed boost to the local economy.”

AGL’s coal-fired generators contribute about 21 per cent of the National Electricity Market.

Sport and academic accolades flowing the way of dedicated St Paul’s student ST Paul’s Anglican Grammar School Year 5 student Phoebe was recently recognised for pursuing her potential in both sport and academically.

Phoebe has received an SSV Academic and Sporting Achievement medal from School Sport Victoria (SSV) that recognises the most outstanding student in a school who has achieved a high level academically, combined with a strong sporting contribution to the school.

Phoebe represented St Paul’s at the SSV State Swimming Championships winning a bronze medal in the Girls 11-year-old 50 Metre Butterfly event and she also qualified for the Region Cross Country event.

Every year, SSV member schools are eligible to nominate a student or class to receive a medal and School Sport Victoria provides member schools one SSV Academic and Sporting Achievement medal for their end of year presentation.

St Paul’s Sport and Physical Education teacher Billy Rilen commented on Phoebe’s achievements.

“In PE, Phoebe always demonstrates outstandingteamworkandencouragesotherstudents around her. In the classroom, Phoebe has shown a commitment to improve and excel across all subject areas. Well done Phoebe on your efforts in what has been a disrupted and difficult year for students and student athletes,” Mr Rilen said.

SOCCER

GIPPSPORT Streetgames has delivered a well-attended soccer program at the Federation University soccer pitch.

Initially the university asked for GippSport Streetgames to deliver a six-week soccer program for students as a way to provide physical activity and social connection.

The program opened up to the community and they came in droves after the Churchill United Soccer Club (CUSC) helped to promote within their club and network.

The program was so popular that the participants asked for another six weeks.

Each week, rain or shine committed participants come along and enjoy a kick of the ball.

The events brought together people from all walks of life.

Some participants travelled all the way from Leongatha to attend because ‘there is no other sport open at the moment. We really appreciate that you are providing this opportunity for everyone’.

Program co-ordinator Den Lim said the event had grown in importance.

“Programs such as these bring community members together,” she said.

“They strengthen friendships and also opens up opportunities for participants to meet new people.”

The next series starts after the New Year.

Details are as follows: Mondays from January 17 to February 21, 2022 from 5.30pm, Federation University Synthetic Pitch, Churchill. Express your interest via the Latrobe Streetgames Facebook page or by contacting Den Lim on 0497 167 946 or hello@latrobestreetgames. com.au

CRICKET

Fantastic initiative: GippSport Streetgames has delivered a well-attended soccer program at the Federation University soccer pitch. photograph supplied

LATROBE Valley cricket export Nicole Faltum produced a stellar unbeaten 88 in Victoria’s opening match of the Women’s National Cricket League competition on Friday.

Coming to the crease with Victoria at 5/120, Faltum hit 10 boundaries during a superb 83-ball knock which surpassed her previous WNCL best of 39 to lift the Victorians to a solid total of 8/270 against NSW at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.

Despite the best efforts of the wicketkeeperbatter, Victoria’s score was overhauled by the Breakers.

Rachel Haynes set the tone for a NSW victory with a fine 96, while Erin Burns, who was prevented by border closures from joining her Sydney Sixers for the WBBL season, struck 15 boundaries in a stunning 80 not out from 48 deliveries.

Faltum continued her good form in Sunday’s double-header, scoring 49 from 54 deliveries in Victoria’s 26-run loss.

She shared a 136-run partnership with Ellyse Perry, who smashed a sparkling 120 from just 94 deliveries.

Earlier, NSW posted 7/300 as three different Breakers scored half-centuries.

WARM conditions greeted spectators at the Warragul trots meeting on Monday, December 13.

The feature race was the $10,000 Traralgon Pacing Cup, won by Mister Macedon for Toolern Vale trainer Shane Hoban and driver Brad Chisholm.

Hoban’s family have raced horses successfully on local tracks for decades.

After the race, Hoban indicated he had set Mister Macedon for the Cup event, and feels the horse can win more races.

Other highlights on the card included the Des Kelly Memorial event, named in honour of the respected former Gippsland horseman.

This race was won by The Girls Gotflair for trainer/driver Jeremy Quinlan.

Cranbourne pacer Groom for trainer Rob Olsen and driver Scott Ewen was the only local winner on the day.

The track raced fast, there were dry and dusty conditions early on but they settled once afternoon cloud rolled in.

Trotting returns to Warragul on Monday, February 14.

Terrific Tigers

CRICKET LVDCL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

MORWELL goes into the Christmas/New Year break as the Latrobe Valley District Cricket League’s top side after a convincing 72-run win against Trafalgar at Morwell Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

But the day did not look like going that way for the Tigers early doors, who slumped to 3/7 after being sent into bat by the visitors.

Morwell’s top three batsmen were dismissed for ducks, including former Trafalgar player Blair Clymo, up against his former side for the first time.

Despite a breezy 21 from Mark Cukier, Morwell found themselves at 6/46 after Aydan Connolly dismissed Blake Mills.

That brought Brendan Brincat to the wicket where he joined Tigers skipper Jordan Campbell.

The pair wrested control of the contest from Trafalgar’s grip with a 83-run partnership, highlighted by a towering six from the cavalier blade of Brincat.

Campbell top-scored with a patient 44 and Brincat contributed a very handy 34, while late cameos from Lachlan Day and Travis Pickering lifted Morwell to 172.

Spearhead Jackson Noonan, who did most of the early damage for Trafalgar, finished with the impressive figures of 5/28 from his 10 overs, while Connolly (2/32) was the other multiple wickettaker.

Trafalgar’s innings started much like Morwell’s, with the two openers Aiden George (2) and Liam White (0) sent packing early doors.

Rhys Holdsworth held the Ships’ innings together with a solid 39, but Morwell kept striking at the other end.

Brincat (2/16) and Dylan Day (4/23) were the pick of the Tigers bowlers as Trafalgar was bowled out in 38 overs for 100.

It was the second successive four-wicket haul at A Grade level for the underrated Day, who took his season’s record to 13 wickets at 5.08.

CHURCHILL enjoyed an early mark after demolishing Traralgon West by seven wickets.

Having won the toss, the Eagles elected to bat, but found themselves bowled out in the 48th over for a moderate total of 83.

Opener Hayden Kimpton battled hard for his 30, while Ihraam Zafar (16) and Luke Phillips (13no) provided cameos.

Five of the six bowlers used by Churchill took wickets, headlined by John Keighran (3/19).

Ryan Harvey (2/6) and Matt Harvey (2/17) also impressed for the Cobras.

Churchill wasted little time in the chase, running down Traralgon West’s total in 15.5 overs.

Opener Ryan Wilk top-scored with 28 and Brendan Mason hit 22 from 10 deliveries, a knock which included one four and two big sixes.

Nick Duncan (19 not out) guided the Cobras to victory.

CATS scored a comfortable six-wicket win against Centrals at John Black Oval.

The Lions were in some trouble at 6/53, but

a lower-order rearguard lifted the visitors to a competitive total of 185.

Lachlan Patterson smashed seven fours and a six in an entertaining knock of 48, his best at A Grade level.

Bryce Williamson, fresh from a century against CATS in B Grade the previous week, continued that batting form with 39, which featured two sixes.

Ben Doble chipped in with unbeaten 34, also hitting two towering sixes.

Ben Julin was the pick of the CATS bowlers with 5/26.

Having taken the last two wickets of the Centrals innings, Jamie Cochrane’s great match continued when he had the willow in hand.

The CATS opener set the tone for victory with a stylish 87 from 104 deliveries, which included 10 fours and three sixes.

He shared a 98-run partnership with Julin, which lifted CATS from 2/49 to within sight of victory.

Cochrane’s departure opened the door for Rory Hare (11no) and Dylan Keyhoe (20no) to finish the job with 86 balls to spare.

JOEL Mitchell’s five-wicket haul helped Moe to a 26-run win against Latrobe at Ted Summerton Reserve.

The Lions posted 176 batting first, thanks primarily to the efforts of captain Pat Spiteri, who top-scored with 48 and a fine 41 from Troy Oakley.

Navin Gomez (3/28) continues to impress for the Sharks and Benn Zomer also collected three wickets.

Anu Meenakshi led the Latrobe response with 39, but Mitchell, who had earlier scored 24, produced the decisive spell of the match.

He tore through the Sharks’ middle-order to return the figures of 5/24 from his 10 overs.

At 9/106, the game looked dead and buried in Moe’s favour, but Jamie Brierley (26 not out) and Adam Duncan (15) provided some late fireworks with a 44-run partnership which ended when Duncan was caught by Andrew Philip off the bowling of Ash Savige.

RAIDERS defeated Jeeralang-Boolarra by four wickets at Yinnar Recreation Reserve.

The respective captains Ben Heath (JeeralangBoolarra) and Liam Maynard (Raiders) had a major say on the proceedings.

Heath scored a sparkling 68 and proved the backbone as Jeeralang-Boolarra finished 9/172 from its allotted 50 overs.

The Raiders attack shared the wickets around with Madura Perera (3/28) the most successful, while Harry McColl, Mick Higgins and Maynard each collected two wickets.

Despite slumping to 2/7 early, Raiders landed the points without too much of a hassle with Maynard the star.

The skipper hit six fours in his impressive unbeaten 84 and was ably supported by Mick Higgins (25), Tim Hutchinson (20) and Burkeley Macfarlane (26).

Spinner Hasitha Hewawasam collected 2/19, while paceman Matt McGrath did the early damage on the way to figures of 2/41.

Mirboo North had the bye.

The next round of LVDCL Premier A Grade action will be played on Saturday, January 8, 2022.

Stylish century lifts Rovers CRICKET TDCA

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

A SUBLIME century from captain Dougal Williams helped propel Rovers to a first win of the TDCA A Grade season on Saturday.

Williams produced a knock from the very top drawer to score 109 as his side registered a surprise six-wicket win over Yarram & District at Duncan Cameron Reserve.

His was the archetypal captain’s knock.

Coming in at 2/4, Williams spent the next 161 minutes at the crease, facing 133 deliveries, highlighted by 11 fours and a six.

But one player can’t do it alone and he was ably supported by opener Tyler Pearce.

The pair put on 201 for the third wicket before Williams was run out by David Brinker-Ritchie.

Pearce made sure he was there at the finish as Rovers overhauled the Pelicans target of 218 with three overs to spare.

A product of the club’s junior ranks, Pearce surpassed his previous A Grade best of 32 on the way to an unbeaten 76.

Earlier in the day he produced a sharp

stumping and a catch as Rovers gave themselves an opportunity with the ball.

Batting first after winning the toss, Yarram & District had a number of batsmen get starts, but none reach a half-century.

Daniel O’Keefe top-scored with 37, while captain Anthony Scott (33 from just 25 deliveries), Griffin Underwood (27) and Damien Quigley (20) all produced cameos.

The wily Simon Duff was the pick of the Rovers bowlers, finishing with 5/59 from his 10 overs.

Darion Duncan conjured 3/39 from his six overs and Williams warmed up for his batting efforts by taking 2/16.

GORMANDALE’S difficult season continued with a nine-wicket loss to Glengarry at Fred King Oval.

The Tigers elected to bat after winning the toss and reached 157 before being bowled out in the 50th over.

Nat Campbell dropped down the order to number five and top-scored with 34, while Chris Lehner contributed 21.

Some late order runs from Hayden Richards, Adam Brady and skipper Luke Henderson at least gave Gormandale a target to bowl at.

Frank Marks took 3/16 with Al Jenkin also making his presence felt, returning figures of 3/28.

Cam Graham (2/14) claimed multiple wickets in his final spell and Nat Freitag (2/20) continued his fine season with the ball.

Glengarry had few problems in the chase, losing just the one wicket on the way to victory.

That man was Jenkin to the bowling of Campbell, but only after he scored 41.

Frank Marks scored an unbeaten 57 and Freitag rounded out a fine match with 46 not out.

EX STUDENTS scored a comfortable sevenwicket win against Imperials at Catterick Crescent.

Imps won the toss and elected to bat, but found themselves strangled by a relentless Sharks attack.

The only top-order batsman to reach double figures was Bradley Wells (12).

The fact Imperials even reached 82 was down to some late fireworks from Scott Aitken, who top-scored with a breezy 23 not out.

Rob Voss and Mitchell Harris collected three wickets each.

Ex Students wasted little time running down the target, knocking off the total in 18.2 overs.

Twite, who earlier scored 11, took 2/17 to be the pick of the Imperials bowlers.

The TDCA season will now enjoy a break over the Christmas/New Year period before returning on Saturday, January 8.

Win helps Thompson makes his name GOLF GIPPSLAND SUPER 6

You beauty: Jack Thompson likes the look of the Gippsland Super 6 trophy. photograph pga of

australia

IT took more than 10 hours and 32 holes, but Adelaide rookie Jack Thompson has shed the monkey gradually growing on his back with victory at the Gippsland Super 6 yesterday.

Three bogeys in the space of five holes on day three put Thompson in jeopardy of missing the match play section altogether but once through he went on a giant-killing run to meet Jordan Zunic in the six-hole final.

The pair couldn’t be separated across the six-hole course set-up at Warragul Country Club and went into a playoff, Thompson’s sublime pitch shot from the left of the green resulting in a short putt for par.

Zunic also missed the green with his tee shot but missed his par attempt from 15 feet, allowing Thompson to complete the formalities and notch his first win as a professional.

Runner-up to Anthony Quayle in a playoff at the 2020 Queensland Open while still an amateur, Thompson has contended regularly in PGA Tour of Australasia events since turning pro in February and felt an overwhelming sense of relief as he cradled the trophy.

“It feels like a long-time coming,” said Thompson, who was runner-up at the Golf Challenge NSW Open in March and tied for seventh at last week’s Victorian PGA Championship at Moonah Links.

“It's a surreal feeling at the moment.

“I just think back to all of the times I was runnerup and how much I hated losing. There were even times where I was wondering, ‘Am I ever going to get over the line?’

“Having to hole a good putt on 18 and then getting up-and-down from what I thought was a semi-tricky spot just makes it more satisfying.”

Two down with two holes to play against Jason Bugdalski in the opening match on Sunday morning, Thompson was contemplating COVID tests rather than championship glory.

“I was in all sorts of trouble,” Thompson said of his match with Bugdalski.

“I was two down with two holes to go and I was kind of thinking about getting my COVID test so we could get in the car and drive, thinking I was going to be knocked out.”

A birdie putt from outside 25 feet and Bugdalski’s bogey on the fifth hole delivered a two-shot swing, Thompson advancing to round two at the first playoff hole.

It was there that he met No.1 seed Michael Sim and where the tournament was turned on its head.

Six of the top-eight qualifiers who received byes in round one were bundled out in round two, Thompson riding the momentum that came from his comeback win in round one.

Thompson accounted for Brett Rankin in the quarter-final and the resurgent Rohan Blizard in the semi-final to set up a showdown with Zunic in the championship decider.

Spellbound: Jockey Ethan Brown lifts Weave That Web to victory in the Purcell Painting Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m) at Moe on Friday.

Brown’s treble highlights Moe races HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

A PICTURE perfect Latrobe Valley day saw large crowds converge on Moe Racing Club for the Ian Grant’s Caravans Christmas Party Race Day. Blue skies and a top temperature of 28 degrees saw many racegoers enjoy the opportunity to get on track, something which has been rare during the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jockey Ethan Brown proved the star of the show, riding a winning treble.

Brown certainly proved the punters pal, with all three winners starting favourite after getting heavy support.

The first was Little Pickle ($2.35fav) in the Ladbrokes Maiden Plate (1100m).

Trained by Jason Warren and Dean Krongold, Little Pickle made a great impression in what was the first run of her second preparation.

A daughter of Unencumbered, Little Pickle had been placed two of her three previous runs and signalled that bigger things could be in store, racing away to score by a 1 1/4 lengths from Tagomago.

Brown ensured the shortest-priced favourite of the program saluted in the Harvey Norman Moe Maiden Plate (1600m).

Yaphet finished ninth in the Sandown Guineas at Group 2 level in his previous outing, with trainer Cliff Brown electing to drop the grey son of Blackfriars back in class in a bid to land a breakthrough win at start seven.

Supported from $1.75 into $1.50, Yaphet produced a tradesmanlike display, holding off second-elect Inordinate by a length.

Trainer Brown was pleased with the performance as he continues to make the transition back into Victorian racing after a successful 13 years in Singapore.

Weave That Web ($2.90fav) completed a fine day at the office for Brown when he held off Without Excuse in a thrilling Purcell Painting Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m) for the fillies and mares.

Trained by the powerful Ciaron Maher and David

Eustace training partnership, Weave That Web is a daughter of the former champion three-year-old turned stallion Pierro.

After racing without landing a blow at tracks such as Mildura, Swan Hill and Ararat, eastern Victoria looks to suit Weave That Web, who took her career record to two wins from six starts after getting home by a nose.

It was also a fruitful day for the combination of Michael Moroney and Jordan Childs.

Trainer Moroney, who won the 2000 Melbourne Cup with Brew, came to the fore early with the day’s longest-priced winner, Shiriki ($13) in the Paull’s Carpet Choice Maiden Plate (1100m) for the fillies and mares.

Shiriki offered little in her debut on a soft track at Geelong in June, but given further time to mature and the opportunity to race on a Good 4 surface, showed plenty of quality to lead throughout.

A daughter of Exceed and Excel, Shiriki was rated to perfection by jockey Childs, holding off Munchette by the closest of margins.

Having slipped under the punters guard on that occasion, the duo were more well-found when Jungle Jim won the last race on the nine-event program, the Bidfood Class 1 Handicap (1200m).

Jungle Jim ($3.20) won like Shiriki, jumping beautifully to lead and withstand a lion-hearted challenge from Santero to win by a nose.

A son of the Irish-bred stallion Canford Cliffs, Jungle Jim has now won his past two starts, with the Moe victory sitting alongside a Geelong maiden triumph back in January.

Expect Jungle Jim to tackle a race either at Cranbourne or Moonee Valley as his next assignment.

Some smart punters were all smiles after Toronasaurus Rex foiled a strong plunge on favourite Side Bet in the Ian Grant’s Caravans Maiden Plate (1100m).

Side Bet from the Matt Laurie stable jumped the $2.10 favourite on the strength of his previous appearance when second on the Ballarat synthetic track.

Crowds: Many people were in attendance on Friday, enjoying the good weather.

fritzlaff

But Toronasaurus Rex, prepared by Mick Bell of Jungle Edge fame, did a great job to win and hold off the favourite by three-quarters of a length.

The win was the first at start five for the son of Toronado.

Mark down No Crying ($3.90) as a horse to follow.

A daughter of Exceed and Excel, No Crying had been knocking on the door at tracks such as Wangaratta, Cranbourne and Mornington.

Ridden by Dean Holland, the three-year-old filly showed a sharp turn of foot to surge into the race in the straight and power away to score by a comfortable 1 1/4 length margin.

Not only that, but she overcame a betting drift from $2.50 out to $3.90 as punters came for the Peter Moody debutant Deece Scent Kiss, who failed to fire, running sixth. $10 shot Halvoya (Nathan Punch) was another eye-catching winner as she powered home to win

the Ladbrokes Switch Benchmark 58 Handicap (1100m).

The four-year-old from the Robbie Griffiths and Matt de Kock stable turned the tables on runner-up Make An Effort, who beat her at Bairnsdale the previous start.

This time Make An Effort had to fill the role of bridesmaid, but the Sale galloper lost no admirers, having covered plenty of ground in the run.

The day’s other winner was Milestone in the Yarragon Country Style Bakery Benchmark 58 Handicap (2400m).

The success was the first on Australian soil for the OTI Racing-owned French-bred gelding, whose previous success had come at Chantilly in May 2019.

Milestone was ridden to victory by jockey Tayla Childs for trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young.

Gippsland greyhound festival a vital part of summer GREYHOUNDS

GREYHOUND Racing Victoria has launched its fifth SEN Track Gippsland Festival of Racing at Sale Greyhound Racing Club.

Three major events will start with the Group 1 GOLD FM Sale Cup on Boxing Day followed by the Warragul Cup on January 15 and culminating with the Traralgon Cup on Australia Day. With more than $250,000 in cash and prizes to be won, the festival will see some of the best dogs in Australia competing.

GRV general manager of Strategic Communications Louise Martin said to see this festival grow as it has is a testament to the commitment of the Gippsland Clubs and the support from the regional communities.

“As an industry, greyhound racing contributes more than $50 million into the region and employs

nearly 500 people which is a significant injection into the community,” Martin said.

“Also, the Gippsland Festival is the perfect springboard for the other major GRV 2022 festivals – the Seaside Festival at Warrnambool and the Western Festival.”

Ticket sales for the Sale Cup, which boasts a $75,000 first prize, are on track to see a massive return to the track after two trying years.

Sale Greyhound Club general manager Peter Johnston said the club was anticipating a crowd of up to 5000.

With the Warragul Cup meeting having gone from strength to strength over the past several years, the club is looking to deliver one of the most exciting night’s racing for many years.

Warragul Greyhound Club general manager, Tony Mitchell, said the $50,000 first prize would attract a class field.

Page 62 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 20 December, 2021

“The event gives all of Gippsland the chance to witness some of Victoria’s best trainers and greyhounds in action,” he said.

With the festival concluding at Traralgon, some of Australia’s best greyhounds will be on show at the club’s new J-Curve track.

The $6 million venue will see a return to racing at Tralagon after an 18-month closure for construction for the world-first track.

Traralgon Greyhound Club general manager Steve Clarke said the day would usher in a new start for greyhound racing in the region.

“As a club we cannot wait to showcase what we’ve built at Traralgon,” he said.

“It’s state of the art that ensures safety for the greyhounds, state of the art facilities for our guests and importantly an opportunity for our club to contribute back to the community.”

Festive fever: (Front to back) Peter Johnston, Tony Mitchell and Steve Clarke are looking forward to a bumper Gippsland Festival of Greyhound Racing this summer. photograph supplied

Howe’s that: State footy honours all in the family FOOTBALL

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Got your number: Changkuoth Jiath with his new jumper. photograph supplied

Nine is just fine for CJ FOOTBALL

MORWELL football export Changkuoth Jiath will take over the number 9 jumper at Hawthorn in 2022.

Jiath, who played 16 games in his third season at AFL level in 2021, will inherit the jumper worn by Shaun Burgoyne throughout his glittering career at the Hawks.

The jumper was also previously worn by Brownlow medallists Shane Crawford and Robert Dipierdomenico.

“It’s awesome,” Jiath told the Hawthorn FC website.

“To be offered No.9 is just unbelievable.”

Triple treat: Harvey, Addison and Oakley Howe have represented their state in football during 2021. photograph supplied “He'll give anything a crack, he attacks the ball and the man really hard ... he's very adaptive, he can play a lot of roles. He's really strong in the air, but he's also really strong at ground level.”

COVID-19 has been a challenging time for the young footballers.

However, they managed to overcome the challenges the pandemic threw at them.

“They coordinated their training together, and worked it around their schooling during the lockdowns … it was a bit harder for them to get motivated at times,” mother Justine Hickey said.

“It would have been harder for people who are only children … but luckily there’s three of them.”

The lockdowns were not only challenging from a training perspective, but from a social perspective as well, Harvey explained.

“It was difficult during COVID,” he said.

“It’s been really good to get back out there with the team … some people I hadn’t seen in over a year.”

Harvey’s ultimate goal is to be drafted into the AFL in 2022 – a goal which his siblings also hope to achieve in later years.

Parents Andrew Howe and Justine Hickey could not be prouder of their children’s achievements, and hope that they smash their goals in 2022.

“We just encouraged them to keep going and work hard,” Andrew said.

They said that their children's determination and ability to overcome injuries and other challenges has been amazing.

“They’re really determined and resilient,” Justine said.

Wild weather halts Goannas charge

VETERANS CRICKET GIPPSLAND GOANNAS

THE team bus left Maffra at 7am, for the Gippsland Goannas trip to East Doncaster Cricket Club to play the new team in the VCV Over-60 cricket competition.

The game was played at Serpell's Reserve on a synthetic wicket as the turf pitch at the Club's main ground was, unfortunately, being used for a First XI game.

The Goannas arrived at 10.15am, and found no ground preparation, or opposition team.

This situation continued for a further 25 minutes, before a few East Doncaster veterans arrived.

The game eventually started at 11.35am, under leaden skies, with a forecast for a strong weather front to come through during the afternoon.

The Goannas won the toss and elected to bat

as Ken Bailey and Ray Smith headed to the crease.

The scorers table was on the mid wicket boundary and they were under threat from Bailey's pull shots as he raced to 22 from 17, with two big sixes, before being stumped.

Col Carmody came in and scored eight before he played a drive at the first change bowler, and missed a straight one.

Smith retired for 40 from 35 balls, bringing Rino Metlikovec and Ian Southall together.

They faced 20 balls each, for 20 and 18 respectively, when the ED recruit strained a calf muscle, the wind howled as the change arrived and the rain came and caused the game to be brought to a halt.

The Goannas were 2/109 from 18 overs at this point and were left wondering what might have been if the game had started on time!

With more weather expected both teams retired

to the ED clubrooms, and watched a few overs of the 1st XI game and were treated to a freebie from the bar and a sausage in bread, before the bus trip home, which eventually departed just after 3pm.

The Goannas' next game will be an Over-70 fixture at Essendon on January 9, while the Over60's will resume competition on January 16 with a home game against Iona.

The Over-50 team will also play on the 16th, with an away game against South East.

Practice will resume on Wednesdays from January 5, for all teams, at the Glengarry nets.

The Goannas wish all members and their families, sponsors and media a very happy Christmas, and we'll see you in the New Year.

A TRARALGON family have had three children represent Victoria in football this year.

Harvey, Oakley and Addison Howe have spent 2021 representing the state at a high level of Australian Rules football.

Seventeen year old Harvey played Vic Country Football, while 15-year-old Oakley and 14-year-old Addison played in School Sport Victoria Country Football teams.

Following in their father’s footsteps, the three siblings all played for Southside Junior Football Club, Traralgon in their earlier days - Addison only moving to Traralgon Football Club’s Youth Girls team in 2021.

The three siblings now play for Traralgon Football Netball Club.

All three have aspirations of playing football at a professional level, and do not intend on letting the setbacks experienced during the pandemic get in their way.

While Oakley and Addison have a little way to go until they can make their professional football dreams become a reality, hopefully for Harvey the realisation of playing in the AFL is not too far away.

At 203cm and 95kg, Harvey stands tall among many other footballers his age.

The young ruckman showed off his skills playing for Vic Country in the 2021 National Championships, where he was praised in the match report for his dominance in the ruck battle and consistency throughout the match.

He reportedly played a significant role in Vic Country's early wins in the midfield and continually won hitouts as the game continued.

His younger brother Oakley can be seen playing primarily in the backline, while Addison is a forward.

Addison made a splash early on at Traralgon, being listed as a player to watch for Round 6 after averaging 4.5 goals a game.

Gippsland Power head coach Rhett McLennan has had the pleasure of coaching both Harvey and Addison.

“They both really love their footy,” he said.

“Harvey is very much dedicated to continually improving and is very task focused.

“His ruck craft for his age is extremely impressive ... the way that he uses is body is beyond his years, in the way that he can position himself in a ruck contest.”

McLennan praised Addison for her enthusiasm for the game.

“Addy is extremely talented ... she's just rapt to be playing football, she's always got a smile on her face,” he said.

“I really think the sky's the limit with her footy at the moment ... she's got good skills and a really good running capacity.”

Oakley is currently in the middle of Gippsland Power try-outs and has been praised by his Traralgon coach Troy Hamilton for his hard work and determination during the 2021 season.

“Oakley is very keen to learn and be the best he can be,” Mr Hamilton said.
