Buying bonanza highlights hot demand for Valley land

THE Latrobe Valley’s growing reputation as a property hotspot was reaffirmed last week.

In just under eight hours, Rennie Property Sales sold 27 blocks of land at the new Gaskin Rise Estate in Churchill.

Rennie Property Sales director Peter Rennie, who has been in the real estate industry for four decades, described the sale as the most “unbelievable thing’’ he’s seen.

“We sold out in seven and a half hours without any advertising, it’s unheard of,” Mr Rennie told The Express.

“It’s unbelievable, in 40 years of real estate I’ve never seen anything like that.

“Normally something like that would sell two or three blocks a month and it would normally take about six months to get all those sold.”

Although the Latrobe Valley’s real estate market has seen a boom over the past 12 months, largely due to a migration of Melburnians to the regions,

Mr Rennie said at least half of the 27 buyers were first homebuyers from the local area.

“I know out of the 27 probably a half were first homebuyers who were young kids from the area who want to build their first house,” he said.

“I think finally people are more confident in the real estate market in the Latrobe Valley, the locals have got confidence.”

The 27 blocks, at an average size of 700sqm were sold as part of Gaskin Rise

Estate’s sixth stage at an average sale price of $160,000.

Mr Rennie said similar blocks in the area were selling for around $110,000 only six to nine months ago.

“We sold those reasonably well but nothing like we saw here,” he said.

One of these lucky first homebuyers was Churchill local Tyler Hillier, 23, who said he wasn’t expecting to be a property owner a week ago.

“I just started teaching and got a full-time job so I knew it was going to happen eventually, I just didn’t expect it to be so soon, but with housing it seems to be a good time to get into the market so I decided to go for it,” he said.

While looking at his newly purchased block of land with his parents Sue and Bruce, the pair decided to put in a call to Rennie Property Sales to see if there were any more blocks for sale.

As luck would have it there was one block left which happened to be the one next door to their son.

“It was really unexpected for them, they weren’t too fussed in buying anything new, but they saw the potential in what the properties are going to be like out here and thought why not and it just happened to be the one next to mine,” he said.

“It would have been better if it was down the road a bit, but it’s alright.”

Mr Hillier said the quick sale of the blocks was a reflection of the attraction people had towards Churchill and the Latrobe Valley.

“It just shows the high demand and that people want to be living around here,” he said.

“I think Churchill is definitely moving up and it’s going to be one of those places people are going to strive to live in.”

Council green lights Hawker St development

By LIAM DURKIN

A MOTION to develop four dwellings at 11 Hawker Street, Moe was carried at the most recent Latrobe City council meeting.

Under the proposal, three of the units will be double-storey, with units one to three comprising two bedrooms and unit four containing three.

The proposal has drawn the ire of some residents, who don’t believe double-storey units fit the neighbourhood character of the area.

Following advertising of the application, 41 objections were received. Council Planning Officers provided a response to the concerns, resulting in five objections being withdrawn.

The meeting heard from Hawker Street resident Amanda Ball, who has led a campaign against the proposal, and had previously stated the majority of residents’ preference was for two single-storey units with double car parking.

“Our town has its own unique character and to enhance that we need to promote growth, but we also need to respect the existing neighbours and yet contribute to the function, safety and liveability of the community,” she said.

“The fact that this build will actually sit just over half-a-metre from the footpath beggars belief when the setback of most properties in the street is between seven and 11 metres - we will be able to touch the porch as we walk past.

“This proposed new building mass on this site will be a monstrosity and clearly stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

“Within the proposal there is no architectural consistency or coherency with the area and certainly does not respect the existing or preferred character.”

The motion was moved by Councillor Brad Law, who acknowledged the residents’ reservations, but said ultimately the development presented an opportunity for the community to expand.

“It is going to be difficult for some people who have had one house next door to automatically have two, three or four dwellings next door, I agree it is not going to be perfect for some people, but we need people to advance our community and take on the responsibility of building new assets in the town now that creates a better environment

for kids and our future,” he said. “I fully applaud this development and think it should go ahead.”

Cr Law referenced the Live Work Latrobe land use policy, and believed the development was within the framework that was established to make the most of Latrobe City built and natural assets to create jobs, ensure housing meets the needs of community and enable new investment opportunities.

“I think in developing our Live Work Latrobe document our planning team has spent the best part of four years, along with councillors, in consultation to come up with a document that reflects the growing needs of our community moving forward,” he said, “The critical part about this whole thing is that we’ve built a document to try and be fair to everybody across the board, and it can happen in any town at any point in time, there are some laws and they are black and they are white as what you can do and what you can’t do.

“Under the proposal at present, this development is in the area that it can just go ahead and I fully support it, because that is what we have come up with over these last few years, is to create an area where there is no grey area.

“From that point of view, as long as they meet all building requirements, there is a lot of them on that planning permit, as long as they meet all those conditions and satisfy all that, I think this is a good development.”

The motion was seconded by Cr Darren Howe and voted in favour of by Cr Law, Cr Howe, Cr

" $"

I do want to emphasise these are quality townhouses that are planned to be built by a local builder without cutting corners.

Tracie Lund, Cr Dan Clancey and Cr Kellie O’Callaghan.

Cr Graeme Middlemiss voted against, while Cr Dale Harriman, Cr Melissa Ferguson and Mayor Sharon Gibson abstained.

Speaking against the proposal, Cr Middlemiss said he sympathised with the residents affected.

“I’m not quite convinced Live Work Latrobe hit the mark,” he said.

“I know it was built around existing government policies to try and get us the best outcome against an existing government policy and all residential planning, we are very, very limited by government policies, but what we’re starting to get back is a large section of our community in the areas affected does not appear to want to accept Live Work Latrobe’s ideas.

“We’ve just heard some very strong objection from the people who live in this area they don’t want what we have imposed by Live Work Latrobe.

“We had a case in Traralgon about two meetings ago, again the neighbours said ‘well that’s okay under Live Work Latrobe, but we don’t like what’s happening in our neighbourhood’ this is very hard for councillors to sit back and take the attitude ‘well that’s the planning scheme bad luck, move on, nothing to see here’.

“There is something to see here and I don’t think we’ve carried our community through yet. I think there may be more work required yet.

“I’m starting to develop reservations about Live Work Latrobe - I don’t think it was strong enough.”

The meeting also heard from E2E Growth Consultants director Sudhanshu (Ashu) Goel, the company charged with overseeing the project.

Mr Goel refuted claims the setback would be of close proximity to the footpath, and said all avenues of community consultation had been exhausted.

“I do want to emphasise these are quality townhouses that are planned to be built by a local builder without cutting corners,” he said.

“The development is planned in accordance with councils planning scheme and also complies to Clause 55 of the Planning Act.” The application could still be appealed at VCAT, however any such appeal could well prove futile given all building requirements appear to have been met.

A wonderful story $! $ ! $ Act of kindness: Traralgon local Mary Parr said she was overjoyed when she was gifted a budgie by local breeder Rick Hodgskiss. photographs tom gannon

By TOM GANNON

$$

A bit of colour: Ms Parr’s new blue bird has followed the tradition of being named Joey. an even more significant role in her life after the passing of her husband.

“I’m not young and all I’ve got is my budgie, except for my four boys of course,” she said.

“I like their company and especially for me now on my own, it’s taken the place of my husband in a sense, it’s somebody to say good night to and tell him I love him.”

“I’m so appreciative and I love him to death, people must think I’ve got a child because I treat him like one, I talk to him all the time and even when I’m just outside the door I’ll still be talking to him, people probably think I’m silly.”

Mr Hodgskiss is urging people to go out of their way and do something kind for others.

“In these trying times if you can do a little bit to brighten someone’s day, you can’t put a money value on that,” he said.

MARY Parr was recovering from the recent death of her light blue budgie ‘Joey’ when a kind-hearted stranger surprised her with the perfect gift.

Ms Parr, a Traralgon local, has had a pet budgie for as long as she can remember but was particularly heartbroken after the death of her previous budgie Joey in July.

Ms Parr received the bird after her husband died five years ago.

“I feel there’s nothing worse than losing a little bird and he died in my arms, I don’t know what happened, I was sitting on the chair watching him feed and all of a sudden his little wings shot up in the air, he never would let me hold him, but I picked him up and he died in my hands,” she said.

“I’ve always had a budgie and they’ve always lasted a long time but that one I got when my husband died, but he only lasted five years, so I was very heartbroken.”

After Ms Parr’s daughter-in-law Heather put in a call to local breeder Rick Hodgskiss of Rick’s Quality Birds to organise the purchase of a new companion, Mr Hodgskiss refused payment and jumped into action.

“When you get an older person tell you that the bird is the reason they get up in the morning, that made me think that’s worth way more than what I charge for the bird,” Mr Hodgskiss said.

Ms Parr said she was surprised when Mr Hodgskiss appeared at her front door out of the blue, holding what appeared to be a tool box.

“It didn’t dawn on me about the bird because it had been a few weeks since it passed,” she said.

However it wasn’t a tool box and inside wasn’t a set of tools but instead a little budgie which coincidentally happened to be the same light blue colour as her previous bird.

“I was surprised all right, it wasn’t a tool box, it was my little bird,” Ms Parr said.

Mr Hodgskiss said Ms Parr’s reaction to receiving the bird made his day.

“I was choking back tears because I thought these old people live on their own and they don’t have a lot to look forward to at times and I thought if I can make her day, it makes my day too.”

Ms Parr said having a pet budgie has played

Traralgon women, 30, charged after low act

Car versus house

EMERGENCY services responded to an incident on Switchback Road in Churchill at around 8pm on September 13 following reports of a single car colliding with a house.

Police Beat with Tom Gannon

The house received extensive structural damage but was vacant at the time of the incident.

Four CFA units from the Churchill and Morwell brigades attended the scene.

Victoria Police, SES and Ambulance Victoria were also present.

A 23-year-old man was freed from the vehicle and attended to by paramedics before being taken to Latrobe Regional Hospital for observation.

The scene was deemed under control by emergency services just before 8.15pm.

Local council was notified of the incident and the scene was declared safe just after 9.05pm.

Churchill Police said the driver of the vehicle is assisting police with their investigations.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to contact Churchill Police Station on 03 5122 1790 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Guillerme gets bail

MURDER accused Samantha Guillerme was granted bail by the Supreme Court of Victoria on September 16.

Ms Guillerme, 25, was one of three people charged with the murder of Newborough man Jarrad Lovison last year.

During a bail hearing at the Supreme Court, police did not want Ms Guillerme granted bail due to fears she could obstruct justice and interfere with witnesses.

Justice Paul Coghlan granted Ms Guillerme

bail to live with her parents at Moe, but she must abide by strict conditions including a curfew, not to contact any witnesses or her co-accused, and not take drugs.

The judge told Ms Guillerme to comply with her bail and to stay away from former associates otherwise he would revoke her bail.

Ms Guillerme is set to next face court in November.

TAFE Gippsland stressed there would be minimal impact on existing native vegetation and it would replace the trees and work with council to decide on relocation and species.

A TAFE Gippsland spokesperson said the education provider would continue to “work cooperatively with Latrobe City on providing the best outcomes for the local community”.

“TAFE Gippsland has been working cooperatively

with Latrobe City Council for a considerable time on the issues associated with building new, leading edge vocational training facilities for the benefit of the Latrobe Valley community at our Morwell Campus precinct,” he said.

“These discussions have included issues in regard to increasing public access through additional car parking.”

Main: Latrobe City councillor Graeme Middlemiss is upset that TAFE Gippsland plans to put in a car park on a section of Kernot Lake parkland.

Inset: Councillor Middlemiss is fuming over plans to chop down 10 trees around Kernot Lake in Morwell.

LATROBE City Council is up in arms over TAFE Gippsland’s plans to pave parts of the parkland at Kernot Lake and put up a parking lot.

TAFE Gippsland plans to remove 10 native and non-native trees, and relocate a picnic and barbecue area as it expands its eastern car park as part of an extensive building program at the site.

Latrobe City councillors have asked TAFE Gippsland to come up with an alternative planning layout that would avoid chipping away at parts of the well-used public space.

Latrobe City will also ask TAFE Gippsland to present a masterplan that provides details on its future expansions and proposed car parking as the education provider builds more facilities.

Latrobe City councillor Graeme Middlemiss cited singer Joni Mitchell as he described Kernot Lake as “probably Morwell’s greatest asset”.

“You don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone, and this is the situation we face at the moment.” Cr Middlemiss said.

“Now they want to put a new car park in, but they want to take the trees out, they want to destroy part of the landscape of that much-loved area.”

The Kernot Hall and Civic Gardens precinct was sold-off under Kennett-era unelected council commissioners, meaning TAFE Gippsland owns the land, but parts of the park and hall were retained by council.

Cr Middlemiss said the area had been converted from a paddock into carefully landscaped parkland about 40 years ago.

He also acknowledged that council did not have any planning authority over TAFE Gippsland’s plans, and by law, could not stop it from building the car park.

“TAFE, social housing, wind farms and solar farms, major industrial stuff – we are losing our planning powers over these,” Cr Middlemiss said.

“I’m sure we wouldn’t allow (TAFE) to build this car park if it went to us (for a planning permit), but it hasn’t.

“What at least we can do is retain the trees and say came back and talk about how they can re-design it.”

COVID positive case in Traralgon as state roadmap is revealed

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

GP1632181

A POSITIVE case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Traralgon on Friday.

The news was broken by the state’s COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar.

“We have one case in the Latrobe Valley, an individual who works at two fast food restaurants in Traralgon,” Mr Weimar said.

Despite the news of the positive case, as of last night, there remained one current Tier 2 exposure site in Latrobe City.

That site is the Bunnings Warehouse in Traralgon, Wednesday, September 15 from 5.40pm-6.35pm.

Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) said only people who visited the site during the times listed should get a COVID-19 test and isolate until they receive a negative result.

It comes as positive COVID-19 viral fragments continue to be detected in the Moe/Newborough and Trafalgar areas.

GRPHU said all-known primary close contacts in the area have been contacted and requested to undertake additional testing.

Testing sites have been set up at the following locations – LCHS (Moe Senior Citizens Centre, walk-up, no appointments necessary, open tomorrow 9am-11am) and Latrobe Valley Respiratory Clinic in Morwell.

The Latrobe City case is among four active cases in Gippsland, with three in the Bass Coast during recent days.

A GRPHU spokesperson said all four are being managed via the COVID Positive Pathway process, which includes regular contact and health monitoring.

Four Tier 2 exposure sites have been announced on the Bass Coast.

They are Bunnings Warehouse, Wonthaggi (Friday, September 10, 8.25am-9.15am), Van Steensel Timbers, Grantville (Saturday, September 11, 9.35am-10.10am), Macca’s Farm, Glen Forbes

(Saturday, September 11, 10.45am-12.15pm) and Blue Gum Garden Centre, Newhaven (Sunday, September 12, 12.20pm-1.15pm).

Some restrictions were eased during the past week in large parts of regional Victoria.

Indoor physical recreation facilities such as gyms will be permitted to open with 10 people indoors and 20 outdoors per venue.

Pools have reopened with up to 50 people outdoors and 20 people indoors.

Premier Daniel Andrews revealed the state’s roadmap out of lockdown on a day where Victoria had 507 new cases.

The state is predicted to reach 80 per cent first dose on September 26 at which point in regional Victoria masks will removed for hairdressing, beauty appointments and on-site learning for VCAL students will resume.

October 26 is slated to be the date for 70 per cent double dose.

When that takes place, key changes in regional Victoria include the return of indoor community sport and 30 vaccinated patrons allowed indoors at pubs, clubs and entertainment venues.

November 5 is the date pinpointed for 80 per cent double dose, at which point a single set of rules will apply statewide.

Key changes at that point include: 10 visitors allowed to the home.

Indoor community sport resumes.

30 people can gather outdoors.

Masks only required inside.

Pubs, clubs and entertainment venues allowed 150 vaccinated people seated indoors, 500 outdoors.

All school students return to classrooms.

“There is a gateway here. It will be challenging, but we must pass through it,” Mr Andrews said.

“We cannot have a perpetual suppression of this virus.”

Criticism: Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath said the Forests Legislation Bill is designed to appease green activists and a complete overreach of the state government’s powers. file photograph

Timber people urged to make voice heard TIMBER workers, businesses, the unions and communities have been urged to make their voice heard, after state parliament delayed a vote on radical reforms to Victoria’s forests legislation, Timberbiz reports.

The Forests Legislation (Compliance and Enforcement) Bill 2019 was set to become law on Thursday, but in an eleventh-hour backflip, the state government adjourned the final vote.

Instead, the controversial Bill, which has progressed with the help of the Greens, Fiona Patten’s Reason Party, the Animal Justice Party and Sustainable Australia Party, will now be up for a final vote at the next sitting.

The Bill has been heavily criticised for introducing oppressive legal implications for timber harvesters, contractors and the state-owned enterprise, VicForests.

The Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Region, Melina Bath, who led the defence of the industry on behalf of the Liberals and Nationals, labelled it a devastatingly bad Bill.

“The Andrews Labor Government’s truly appalling bill is designed to appease green activist groups and is a complete overreach of government powers,” Ms Bath said.

“These reforms represent another blatant attack on timber jobs at the hands of Daniel Andrews.”

If the Bill becomes law, it will remove timber harvesters’ and VicForests’ right for the presumption of innocence in any legal proceeding brought against them after Labor introduced a strict liability clause.

Ms Bath said a stay of execution was not enough and called for the reforms to be scrapped.

“Not content to lock up and leave our forests, Labor’s plan is to lock up our foresters too,” Ms Bath said.

“It’s scandalous Labor is seeking to establish specific laws for timber harvesters and VicForests where they will be automatically

found guilty in any future legal proceeding brought against them.

“The fundamental principle of Australia’s common law is ‘innocent until proven guilty’, but under Daniel Andrews that comes with a footnote: unless you’re a timber harvester.”

Shadow Minister for Industry and Manufacturing, Bridget Vallence, described the state government move as a “spectacular backflip”.

“Labor has caved-in to intense pressure from the timber industry,” she said.

“This Forests Bill has been botched from the beginning and the Andrews Labor Government has been forced into an embarrassing backdown after problems were exposed by the Liberal Nationals, the timber industry and unions.”

Leader of The Nationals and Shadow Minister for Agriculture Peter Walsh said the reforms were disastrous for workers and the industry.

“The Forests Legislation Bill must be defeated – it’s a draconian Bill and a bad deal for timber jobs and timber supply in Victoria,” Mr Walsh said.

“The Andrews Labor Government can’t say why this change is needed which we can only assume means it’s yet another grab for Greens preferences in inner city Melbourne.

“The Nationals stand with our responsible, sustainable timber industry which is why we’ve pledged to reverse Labor’s 2030 ban on native timber, if elected to government in November 2022.

“In the meantime, we’ll keep fighting for an end to Daniel Andrews’ sustained harassment of our timber workers and communities.”

The timber industry fears the new laws would encourage anti-logging activists to harass and dob in harvest and haulage contractors for the most minor code breaches, from dropping a tree into a buffer zone to harvesting just outside a designated coupe.

Mum raises awareness of myotonic dystrophy

By TOM GANNON

TRARALGON mum Raechelle Butterfield is calling for more awareness around myotonic dystrophy (DM) after the diagnosis of her daughter Audrey led to her and her own father’s diagnosis of the untreatable condition.

Her message comes in the wake of the inaugural International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day last Wednesday (September 15).

DM is a progressive or degenerative disease with symptoms typically worsening over several decades.

Symptoms of DM include skeletal muscle problems, heart function abnormalities, breathing difficulties, cataracts, issues with speech and swallowing, cognitive impairment, excessive daytime fatigue or diabetic symptoms.

While no treatment exists, management of symptoms can greatly improve quality of life and early intervention can reduce complications that arise.

Ms Butterfield’s experience with DM came when her daughter was diagnosed at just 11 months of age after a local paediatrician noticed Audrey was behind on some motor skill milestones.

As DM is a genetic disease that can only be passed down by a parent, it was then discovered that Ms Butterfield and her father also carried the gene.

“We were shocked, because I got diagnosed, then

it was a matter of my parents getting tested as well because the main way DM affects adults is sudden cardiac issues,” Ms Butterfield told The Express.

“It can all of a sudden become a major, catastrophic, life threatening issue and you might not get a whole heap of indicators that something is awry.

“Some adults in their entire life may only have onset cataracts, but that can go to something as severe as heart issues, respiratory issues, being wheel chair bound or cognitive impacts as well.”

Ms Butterfield is hoping her story will help create awareness for DM so more health professionals know how to look out for the disorder and more time, energy and funds can go towards discovering treatment options.

“We wouldn’t have known if we didn’t have Audrey, our extended family might not have any symptoms or any concerns themselves but they might have a child who is having difficulty at birth so at least through sharing this information they can get early support knowing what it might be,” she said.

“Had our paediatrician not known about this condition who knows if Audrey would have been diagnosed by now, we’ve been able to have a therapist involved with her, through that she’s been able to learn how to walk, she’s now learning how to communicate well.”

AIRPORT LIGHTING BID MOVES TO MOE

After seven months of closure, several collisions and many annoyed residents, the Princes Freeway Morwell bypass reopened yesterday with motorists taking immediate advantage.

The freeway closed in February after cracks were detected along the stretch of road following heavy rain event.

First down the road was Latrobe Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Dave Watson, who said Morwell township traffic had already eased.

“We certainly hope for a decline in traffic on secondary roads, which would lead to a decline in risk of collisions,” he said.

RECORD NUMBER OF PATIENTS AT TRARALGON

A record 4610 inpatients were treated at the Central Gippsland Hospital in Traralgon in the last four months of the 1970-71 financial year.

This is in the report to be presented by the president of the committee of management, Mr G. Blythman, at the annual meeting of contributors and life governors next Wednesday.

Mr Blythman says in the report that the increase in the number of patients affected the daily average, which was 125.1 compared with the previous year of 118.7.

There was a slight increase in the average stay in the days per patient of 9.9 to 9.8 days in 1969-70.

WARNING ON POPULATION

The tramp of human feet was getting very loud indeed, the acting premier and chief minister, Dick Hamer, said in Morwell on Friday.

He was referring to the increasing world population, estimated to be 6 1/2 billion in 30 years, while addressing a dinner meeting of the Morwell branch of the Liberal Party at Golden Hill restaurant.

Australia, by its own act, was making make sure it was keeping up with the rest of the world.

By the year 2000, it was estimated Australia would have a population of 25 million.

“Where twill they live, work and play?,” he said.

Population trends were making decentralisation a vital matter.

WIN WAS DESERVED

LV WATER CUTS

The state government budget cats by half the water flow for the Latrobe Region from the Thomson-Cardinia dam.

And the decision will have serious implications for the region’s irrigation users according to secretary of the Gippsland Water Utilisation Committee Sam Dawson.

The Thomson River Water Resources Joint Advisory Committee had recommended 149,000 megalitres a year to be available at Cowwarr Weir to meet both irrigation and environmental needs.

This has been cut to 78,000 megalitres a year.

COUNCIL PROBES STAFF RENT COSTS

Moe City Council has ordered a probe into the rental costs of staff houses.

The council this week directed Town Clerk, Mr Lerstang, to clarify the basis of market and rental valuations for staff houses.

As well, the possible sale of a council house presently occupied by the City Engineer, Mr Aboltins, will be referred to the Local Government Department.

CLUB LEGEND WILL BE MISSED

The Gippsland Power football club, wider Gippsland football community and TAC Cup competition was saddened last weekend with the passing of Power club secretary Laurie Plunkett.

Mr Plunkett had been battling a serious illness for much of the year.

His contribution to the Power began before the club was established as he worked closely with Ray Byrne and Roger Geron to set up the club in 1992.

Mr Plunkett’s wise counsel and incredible attention to detail were critical to the club successfully entering the TAC Cup in 1993.

PUBLIC HOLIDAY NOT WELCOME

Latrobe Valley small business owners are

s n o i t u l So

Latrobe City Council has rejected Chunxing’s application to build a highly-contentious used lead acid battery recycling plant in Hazelwood North following a marathon meeting on Thursday night.

Councillors knocked back the planning permit in a motion led by Cr Kellie O’Callaghan, which was supported by six of the nine councillors, after months of strong community objection.

It comes after an original motion was posted to recommend granting a permit based on Latrobe City planning officers’ reports and an EPA works approval.

PARENT POWER THWARTS MOVE

Thorpdale Kindergarten parents are celebrating a small win after being told they would be forced to temporarily relocate to Trafalgar with little warning and no consultation.

Kindergarten operator YMCA Ballarat told the community the program would be relocated to the old Trafalgar Kindergarten while upgrades took place at the Thorpdale centre.

But following an outcry from the parents and a petition, which gleaned 800 signatures, YMCA Ballarat said they would now move the program to Thorpdale Primary School.

INSPECTOR’S COMMUNITY FOCUS

Community engagement is top of the agenda for the Latrobe Valley’s newest Local Area Commander.

Kerosene flare pots, used for Latrobe Valley Aero Club training flights, were not satisfactory for regular night flying operations at the Latrobe Valley airfield because of the labour involved in setting, retrieving and refuelling them, John Willis said last week.

Mr Willis, Latrobe Valley aerodrome manager and chief instructor, was leading a deputation to the Moe City Council, seeking a contribution towards the cost of a proposed electric flare path at the aerodrome.

He was supported by Mr H. Olympic, Latrobe Valley Aero Club member, in informing the council of the background to the request being made on behalf of the airfield’s advisory committee.

Council considers green freebie

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council will consider introducing a no-fee green waste disposal service into next year’s budget, which would be offered a month before each annual bushfire season.

It comes after Latrobe City councillors were presented with a petition with 79 signatures calling for a green waste amnesty for properties in declared bushfire risk areas.

The petition asked for Latrobe City to help people in bushfire risk areas to dispose of green waste via a concession card or expanded voucher system, or

to waive disposal fees at certain times of the year.

“The volume of green waste generated in preparing our properties for bushfire season is considerable and costly,” the petition stated.

“Moreover, it is an important activity we are encouraged to commit to all year round, not just on specific weekends or times.”

The petition stated that options for burning off were limited due to weather conditions and CFA regulations, and smoke posed environmental problems.

Council officers recommended introducing a nofee, self-haul green waste disposal period before the

annual fire season. The move would bring Latrobe in line with neighbouring local government areas that offer no-free green waste disposal services at certain times.

Cr Melissa Ferguson supported the petition which would increase community safety leading into summer, and help clear properties affected by torrid weather events.

“This is a really interesting topic especially as we go into dry seasons. Anything to support the green waste disposal in all wards, particularly as there is an excess from the storms,” she said.

Landcare groups thriving across the region

By MICHELLE SLATER

LANDCARE groups are continuing to thrive in the pandemic as more people are continuing their passion for protecting and improving the environment.

Five Gippsland Landcare networks took part in a health survey which showed that volunteers spent almost 15,000 hours working on various on ground projects in the previous twelve months.

It also showed that more than 200 people joined their local Landcare group and more than $2 million was spent from grants received from the state and federal government.

The five Landcare networks included Latrobe, Maffra, Yarram, South Gippsland and Bass Coast.

Latrobe Landcare network chairperson Peter Devonshire said environmental volunteerism was

“alive and kicking” with increasing interest from people wanting to join their local Landcare group.

“A lot of groups have new members, a part of it is from people moving from the city to the country and they value being outside and be connected to environmental volunteering,” Mr Devonshire said.

“Our Landcare group has been creating solutions in ongoing restrictions, we’ve been able to react quickly to these requirements because we are outside and we can keep people apart.”

Mr Devonshire said recent ongoing local projects had included working with school groups on vegetating the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail and Blue Rock walking track.

Gippsland Landcare networks have revegetated 262 hectares of public and private land, put up almost 60 kilometres of fencing to protect 1000 hectares of remnant vegetation.

It has also treated more than 23,000 hectares of private property for pest plants and animals.

Regional Landcare program officer Marnie Ellis said this was “a great effort” given the conditions of the past 12 months.

“It looks like the pandemic has reminded people how important caring for the environment is and they are actively doing things to protect and improve it,” Ms Ellis said.

“There are projects from Warragul to Stratford and Corner Inlet to Licola, so wherever you live, there is a Landcare group that would be delighted to welcome you on board.

“Groups right across the region have projects and activities planned, so if someone was thinking about joining a local group now is a good time to do so.”

ENERGYAUSTRALIA is calling for expressions of interest to develop a 350 megawatt grid-scale battery to be co-located at the Jeeralang power station by 2026.

The battery to be named the Wooreen Energy Storage System will be Australia’s first fourhour utility-scale battery, larger than any battery operating in the world today.

The expressions of interest is open for businesses to engineer, procure and construct the new battery storage system.

EnergyAustralia will name the engineering, procurement and construction partner in the first quarter of 2023.

Meanwhile, the project’s planning and environmental investigations will continue through the remainder of the year.

The company hopes to lodge a planning application to the state government in the first quarter of 2022.

EnergyAustralia chief operating officer Liz Westcott said the new battery would provide cover for more than 230,000 Victorian households for four hours, before being recharged.

“Its quick release during periods of high demand will provide immense value in maintaining supply and keeping costs down for customers,” Ms Westcott said.

“Our future preferred contractor will help to maximise local participation within the Latrobe Valley and broader Gippsland region by drawing on the expertise of neighbouring suppliers and construction personnel.”

EnergyAustralia unveiled the project in March alongside its announcement it was closing Yallourn four years early in mid-2028.

Since then, the company has been undertaking preliminary feasibility studies that look at technical requirements and potential environmental impacts of the battery.

Wooreen is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2026, ahead of Yallourn’s closure, and will help to secure Victoria’s energy supply and enable more renewables to enter the system.

EnergyAustralia has also been consulting with the local community, including Latrobe City Council and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation.

“EnergyAustralia operates on Aboriginal land, so it’s important that we work with GLaWAC to ensure we have Traditional Owner input into how we respect Country and culture,” Ms Westcott said.

“We are extremely grateful to Aunty Doris Paton, and with the help of GLAWAC, for their blessing to officially name our battery project Wooreen, which is Gunaikurnai for the word, light.”

Ms Westcott said the company was now undertaking more comprehensive program of talking and hearing from members of the local community about the Wooreen project.

“We understand that any project we pursue must be good for the community and the environment,” Ms Westcott said.

Interested contractors can register using the TenderLink Portal from September 20, the event ID is ‘AU-987758.

Linton’s walk with purpose

By LIAM DURKIN

PEOP PLE walking or running the streets of Moe in the next few weeks might bump into Linton Black kwell.

Mr Blackwell is taking part in The Long Run, raising awareness and fundraising for the Prrostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Each h step he takes for the month of September will fiiguratively be a further step in the right directiion in the fight against prostate cancer.

Mr Blackwell B has an especially poignant connecction to the cause, as he and his three brotherrs are prostate cancer survivors.

The 7 70-year-old is now a decade-long survivor, and said d he hoped by doing The Long Run, more

and more people would come forward to get tested.

“I’m just trying to get the message out there,” he said.

“Blokes need to get tested … it is a simple blood test, that’s all it is.

“A lot of people think it is an old man’s disease.

It is more prevalent in older men, but it is killing men in their 40s because it hasn’t been picked up early enough.”

Mr Blackwell is walking an incredible four hours a day and has already clocked up more than 300 kilometres.

He has so far raised $1000 and hopes to reach an even greater target.

Above all else, Mr Blackwell and the team at the

Latrobe Valley Prostate Support Group, based in Moe, are reiterating the importance of taking the first step.

“Get tested, you don’t have to have symptoms, I didn’t have symptoms, just get tested,” Mr Blackwell said.

“It’s no good having the best car in the garage if you’re not there to drive it.”

Each year in Australia there are over 20,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

More than 3000 men die from prostate cancer each year. It is estimated one in six men are likely to be diagnosed by age 85.

Those wishing to make a donation can do so by visiting www.thelongrun.org.au and searching for ‘Linton Blackwell’.

LV Eisteddfod going online THE Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod is breaking new ground this year and mostly going online.

The change, forced by COVID restrictions, means all events will go online with the exception of theatrical dance for local solo performers, and the brass bands who will perform later in the year depending upon restrictions.

After months of planning for a COVIDSafe live event, the committee has been working hard to change to an on-line event.

Eisteddfod committee president Mike Matthysen commented to performers that “Our preference will always be to give you the experience of performing on a real stage to a real audience, but the current COVID-19 pandemic has not made that feasible. The Committee is well aware of a thirst amongst performers to have an opportunity to display their talents and receive a critique from a respected adjudicator. With this in mind, we are offering our inaugural online Eisteddfod”.

Entrants make a video recording of their performance and upload it for adjudication.

Performers receive a critique from a professional adjudicator and are invited to join the adjudicator at an on-line meeting.

Prizes and trophies will be awarded in the same way as a live Eisteddfod.

The Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod has been running continuously for 65 years, having only missed last year due to COVID-19.

The Eisteddfod includes Choral and Vocal, Instrumental, Piano, Speech and Drama, Brass and Theatrical Dancing.

The imminent opening of the Latrobe Creative Precinct opens new possibilities for the Eisteddfod.

If you would like to be involved with organising one of regional Victoria’s major Performing Arts events, contact the Eisteddfod via their website (lve.org.au) or the Facebook page.

Holiday fun at Mid Valley

By TOM GANNON

MID Valley Shopping Centre is holding a ‘Mythical Creatures Alive!’ school holidays event which includes a range of free activities for children.

The COVID friendly activities will provide some much needed fun for Gippsland families after spending much of term three in lockdown.

This holiday’s theme revolves around mythical creatures which will allow children to see a mythical unicorn and a mythical dragon come alive with realistic movements and sounds.

The animatronic animals will be on display for three weeks until Sunday, October 10 to provide families with ample opportunity to visit the centre.

The activities will be located in Centre Court outside Cotton On, no bookings are required.

Mid Valley management said the range of

activities will provide an imaginative experience for Gippsland children.

“It’s all about capturing the kids imagination and offering them an experience they wouldn’t normally be able to see if they weren’t travelling to Melbourne where these types of events are usually held,” a Mid Valley spokesperson said.

Families who take a picture with one of the mythical creatures and tag Mid Valley Shopping Centre will receive a free Kaisercraft colouring book when they show their social media post at the Kaisercraft store.

To avoid large gatherings and ensure all children can continue the fun, Mid Valley will also be providing unicorn and dragon themed take-home activities.

The Shopping Centre is running a colouring-in competition in conjunction with Bow’s Ice Cream,

kids will be able to take home a picture which they can add their creative flair to before returning to the Centre.

Winners of the under five years, five to eight years and eight years and over categories will receive a free 500ml ice cream flavour of their choosing when winners are announced via text on October 4.

Mid Valley is also preparing to hold their Orchid Show which will showcase an exhibition featuring an incredible range of cymbidium, Australian native and top class, exotic orchids.

The public will have the opportunity to meet with Gippsland Orchid Club members for Q&A and orchid potting demonstrations.

More details of the show will be announced soon.

NEPS STEM program teacher Fiona Dunne said the students participate in the design process ‘Question-Imagine-Explore-DesignCreate-Test-Improve-Evaluate’ using LEGO and learning to code programs for motors, force, and motion sensors.

“It is critical for students to have positive experiences in science to explore concepts and develop knowledge for future learning in STEM education and careers,” Mrs Dunne said.

“The link to AGL Loy Yang builds upon our school’s value of creating an education community to enhance learning.”

NEPS principal Julie Skee said the new robotics equipment purchased through AGL Loy Yang Community Support Fund has allowed for an additional engaging and educational experience for their students, complementing the inspiring STEM program developed by Mrs Dunne.

The Community Support Fund is part of AGL’s commitment to support our local communities through sponsorships, donations, and grants.

The AGL Loy Yang Community Support Fund is currently open and will close on Monday, October 4, 2021.

AGL Loy Yang is supporting Grade 5 and 6 students at Newborough East Primary School (NEPS) in the Latrobe Valley with new robotics and LEGO to strengthen learning in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths).

The new equipment has been delivered through AGL’s Community Support Fund and will help students develop critical thinking skills through complex, engaging and relevant STEM challenges.

AGL Loy Yang general manager Christo van Niekerk said with the rise of new technologies and increased automation, STEM skills have become an essential part of learning.

“We’re proud to support this innovative program and help develop the next generation of skilled STEM specialists,” Mr van Niekerk said.

“This program will help students to discover new ways of thinking and expand their understanding of STEM in a fun learning environment.

“At AGL, we are part of an industry that is transforming - there will always be more to do to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we operate in, and it is our innovative spirit that fuels our journey.

“It is wonderful to see this same philosophy in practice at NEPS and we look forward to

ADVERTORIAL

Morwell motorist Davenport Display caught on the hop to close soon

MORWELL local Ann Kaufmann thought she was hopping mad when a kangaroo bounded past her, heading towards the Morwell Central Business District.

Ms Kaufmann said in more than 50 years of driving she had never seen anything as crazy.

At around 12.45pm last Wednesday, she was driving north along McDonald Street in Morwell, just past the Latrobe Leisure Centre, when the four foot tall joey bounded past her in the opposite direction.

She said the joey came within about two feet of her car before jumping onto the median strip and continuing on its way.

Ms Kaufmann admitted she was in shock at first but said her only reaction was to sit in her car and “laugh her head off”.

CURFEW CONFUSION IT did not take long for the old, we mean new again, Liberal leader Matthew Guy to make his first mistake when he issued a statement last Wednesday saying he wanted Melbourne’s lockdown to end when he actually meant the curfew.

Proud as punch: We spied this one on social media and even though it is from the Goulburn Valley, thought it was too good not to share. The Mooroopna Cats’ season may be done and dusted, but as the club demonstrated on the sign leading into its home ground, their footy interest remains strong with former juniors Laitham Vandermeer (Western Bulldogs) and Clayton Oliver (Melbourne) going head-to-head in this season’s AFL grand final. photograph supplied

RUNNING ON EMPTY

DID YOU KNOW

AFTER it was announced Ballarat would be entering lockdown at 11.59pm last Wednesday, locals turned out in droves to get tested for COVID-19.

With queues at Ballarat’s main testing facility extending several blocks, one resident told a local reporter they had run out of fuel while waiting in line.

Time is running out to visit Metricon’s stunning Davenport design, with the remarkably popular display home at Brandy Creek Estate in Warragul set to close its doors in October.

A part of the Metricon Country Living Collection, the Davenport is a unique, ranch style design that showcases country lifestyle living at its very best, maximising the space on acreage blocks and providing a real point of difference as a display home.

The centrepiece of the home is the large open plan family, kitchen and dining area, that creates a great sense of spaciousness and flows seamlessly through stacker doors to a grand outdoor room, making this home perfect for those who like to entertain and show off their block’s incredible country views.

The design conveniently zones the three bedrooms towards the left of the house, with a spacious leisure room providing the ultimate children’s retreat away from the impressive master suite.

The Davenport’s Whitehaven facade has subtle coastaldesign references creating a Hamptons style frontage that mixes perfectly with the modern farmhouse design to give maximum street appeal, making the house stand out above all others.

Metricon’s Gippsland

Regional Manager, Jeff Telford, is especially proud of the home, “This smart design balances providing an abundance of space and options for the family to entertain, along with allowing spaces for private downtime.

This ensures the home offers fabulous flexibility whilst also showcasing incredible country living.

“The Davenport has broken records for visitation for us and is really a break-through home, setting new standards for regional family living,” “It really is a stunning display home and now that Regional Victoria is out of lockdown it’s the perfect time to get one final look before it closes.”

Jeff concluded.

The Davenport is open for viewing Friday to Monday from 11am until 5pm at 37 Blackman Drive, Warragul, to book an appointment with a local New Home Advisor just call 1300 786 773.

However, as one door closes, another opens, with Metricon set to unveil another design from the Country Living Collection in Bairnsdale, as well as another unique design coming to Warragul, both arriving later this year.

I HEAR Tell is a resurrection of the famous column which appeared in the pages of The Express during the 1980s.

CUSTOMERS entering finance company AGC’s Morwell office in January 1986 could be forgiven for thinking staff were having a loan of them.

AGC Morwell was doing its bit to celebrate Australia Day and all staff came dressed in dinkum Aussie gear.

PARKLANDS Preschool is Morwell has received $500,000 in funding to upgrade amenities and refurbishments from the first round of grants in the $30 million Building Blocks – Refurbishment and Minor Works program.

The concept for this project is to refurbish the underutilised community room and office space attached to the Preschool, to provide an additional playroom with bathroom facilities, office space and a storeroom.

This project will allow the Preschool to provide additional programs including three-year-old Kindergarten and supported Playgroups from the site.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said it was a state government priority for young children to have access to the best kinder facilities available.

“Our work goes on to invest in modern, accessible and fit-for-purpose facilities for children and young people across the Valley,” she said.

“This funding will make a really positive difference to local kids, their families and the educators who work so hard to help every child to reach their full potential.”

In total, $12 million worth of grants will go towards 105 projects at kinders across the state.

Forty-seven projects will receive grants of up to $500,000 for major works and refurbishments, while 58 centres will receive grants of up to $50,000 for minor works and refurbishments.

Funding in this round will also help boost local economies by supporting more than 180 jobs in construction and associated industries.

Building Blocks Grants is a streamlined overarching funding scheme that supports early childhood providers with new and existing infrastructure and facilities for eligible three and four-year-old kindergarten services.

by Joanne Madeline Moore SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2021

Aries With Neptune and the Full Moon highlighting your humanitarian side, it’s time to slip into Good Samaritan mode as you re-connect with others and help those around you. An unresolved matter from the past could also re-surface and demand to be addressed. Avoid rushing around with your usual Aries impetuosity!

The weekend Mars/Saturn trine encourages you to be proactive in practical and prudent ways.

A combination of passion and patience will take you far.

Taurus This week Neptune and the Full

Moon fire up your friendship and peer group zones. So don’t waste precious time wondering what a close friend is thinking … you’re probably way off the mark. A long-term relationship (of the romantic, platonic or business variety) could also head off in an unexpected direction but don’t worry too much Taurus. A solid partnership will emerge stronger and more resilient than before.

The weekend is a wonderful time to plan for the week ahead at work.

GGemini The Full Moon lights up your

professional ambitions. But it can feel like one step forward and two steps back, as Jupiter inflates aspirations and then Saturn squashes them. Don’t let difficulties and delays deter you from following your dreams! Be inspired by real life Superman, birthday great Christopher Reeve: “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable. And then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

Cancer The shiny Full Moon (on Monday

night) activates your aspirations zone.

So – despite pandemic problems and ongoing challenges – you still need to dream big dreams for the future. Be inspired by birthday great Bruce Springsteen: “Talk about a dream, try to make it real.” But tread carefully with a budding friendship or a burgeoning romance, as Uranus sends some surprises your way! The weekend favours beiing proactiive abbout fixiing a frustratiing domestic situation.

Leo Monday night’s Full Moon could shine a

bright spotlight on a secret or mystery. Expect an emotional rollercoaster ride this week, as disruptive Uranus stirs up problems at work or unpredictable moods at home. And you may have to deal with a gob-smacking surprise that really rocks your world! So avoid making any important long-term decisions until things settle down.

The weekend looks promising, as the universe provides an opportunity for you to follow your true destiny.

Virgo g The Sun finishes visiting Virgo, and

Merccury connects with Jupiter and Pluto. Which will boost motivation and concentration, and sharpen your eye for hidden details. So it’s a terrific time to study, solve a puzzle, uncover a secret or find an item that’s been lost. And don’t worry if you make a mistake! Be inspired by birthday great, movie star Sophia Loren: “It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.”

Libra With unpredictable Uranus disrupting

relationships or finances, tread gingerly with a sulky partner, an unreliable lover, a grumpy housemate, a frustrated family member or a cranky client. You’ll find the more patient and diplomatic you are, the less stressful the week will be. And don’t let other people deter your ambitions or derail your dreams!

Be inspired by birthday great, actor and disability rights activist Christopher Reeve: “Don’t give up.

Don’t lose hope. Don’t sell out.”

Scorpio p Wednesday’s Mercury/Pluto square could inncrease your tendency to turn a minor matter into a grand obsession. On Thursday we celebrate the Equinox – when day and night are of equal length. And the Sun, Mercury and Mars are visiting your privacy zone, so it’s time to experience some splendid solitude as you meditate, contemplate and ruminate! Smart Scorpios will calm down and recalibrate, as you strive to bring more harmony and balance into your busy world.

Sagittarius g There are two ‘lucky’

aspeects this week. Jupiter (your power planet) trines Mercury, which gives you the gift of the gab and is particularly good for work involving writing, teaching, performing, publishing and public relations. And then Saturn trines Mars, which can be wonderful for turning dynamic creative plans into productive projects. Ultimately though, it’s up to you! As birthday great Bruce Springsteen reminds us: “When it comes to luck, you make your own.”

Capricorn p With ongoing pandemic

probllems and constant challenges, do you feel as if you’re going nowhere? The stars are testing your stamina and patience, so don’t give up. This week the Mars/Saturn trine helps you tap into your bountiful reserves of inner strength as you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and set a proactive and practical new course (especially at work). So your mantra is from birthday great, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald: “Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”

Aquarius q Monday night’s Full Moon scraambles your financial antennae. So it’s not a good time to borrow funds, invest, go on a shopping spree or lend money to others. You’re liable to make financial decisions based on your emotions (which are fluctuating wildly under the full moonbeams). Then Thursday’s Venus/Uranus opposition boosts your bohemian and tempestuous side, as you do something surprising involving work, family or friendships. Expect the unexpected!

Pisces Courtesy of the Piscean Full Moon,

be careful you’re not viewing people through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses. Creative inspiration and intuitive insights are highlighted, but don’t get so carried away that you head into the realm of pure fantasy. When it comes to a major goal, are you and your partner on the same page? If you’re single, can you differentiate a dream date from a disappointing dud? With the support of Saturn, you’ll start to see things more clearly as the week progresses.

Del retires as chair of the Rose Garden

By TOM GANNON

THE Morwell Centenary Rose Garden is preparing for change as the Garden’s Management Committee chair Del Matthews retires from the position.

A small group of volunteers, Latrobe City Mayor Sharon Gibson and Cr Graeme Middlemiss came together last week to present Mrs Matthews with a certificate in recognition of her dedication and service to the rose garden.

Although Mrs Matthews is stepping down from the position of chair, she will remain a committee member and continue to maintain the beauty of the world renowned rose garden.

Mrs Matthews said her tenure had been a great experience.

“It’s been a wonderful 10 years and a wonderful 30 years, but it’s time for someone else to step up,” she said.

The position of chair will be taken up by Carl Ellefsen.

“I’m really pleased that Carl has stepped up, It’s an excellent choice,” Mrs Matthews said.

“It’s very important to understand all the workings and Carl has been membership secretary for the Rose Society of Victoria, vice president, he’s been the delegate for the state at the national conference, so he’s got the knowledge as well as a very good working rose knowledge too.”

Mrs Matthews was appointed secretary of the garden’s steering committee in 1992 and since then has enjoyed a 30-year stint as a member of the Management Committee.

During this time she has served in every capacity including that of current chair and often taking on the duties and responsibilities of multiple positions at one time.

Mrs Matthews has been involved with the Garden since its establishment in 1992.

“When I started I was a keen gardener and I thought of it as a horticultural thing, as it developed and the community was so supportive and we moved on to all the awards and we had international people arriving, it’s been magnificent and it really opened my eyes,” she said.

“It’s not just a horticultural thing, it’s a community thing and the group are wonderful and very supportive towards each other.”

In the years since, she has worked alongside the volunteer group ‘Friends of the Garden’ with a shovel and rake in hand while also taking on a major role covering administrative responsibilities.

Mrs Matthews was key to establishing a working relationship with the original Morwell City Council (now Latrobe City Council) as well as the Rose Society of Victoria.

Mrs Matthews’ volunteering efforts also saw her canvassing donations, managing contributions from individuals and district organisations whose generous support has enabled the creation and on-going maintenance of the garden.

Despite working behind the scenes, Mrs Matthews made a significant contribution by way of her leadership, expertise in all aspects of rose propagation, presentation and promotion of the garden.

The Friends of the Morwell Rose Garden said they have a lasting respect for Mrs Matthews’ friendship and will continue to share with her the many outings, educational evenings, weekly maintenance, pruning weekends and annual dinners.

Busy: Year 4/5 student Ellie had a great day on Wellbeing Day making strawberries dipped in chocolate as well as cup cakes and a poster for R U OK? Day.

Fun times: Fellow staff members join Miss Smith, getting into Book Week and reading to the children.

Celebration: Some students back on site at Lumen Christi Catholic Primary School. photographs supplied

Some students return to class at Lumen Christi CELEBRATIONS for the Prep to 2 children from Lumen Christi Catholic Primary School as they headed back to the classroom.

What better way to acknowledge being back to school than by organising a Teddy Bear’s Picnic outdoors.

The children were asked to bring their favourite teddy and have it by their side as they eased back to learning on site at school.

The children enjoyed a welcome back pack which had a bubble wand, glow stick, party hat and some pencils.

The only downfall is, the children will miss their fellow friends from Years 3 to 6 who will have to continue learning remotely until further announcements are made for the state government.

This won’t stop them from gathering as a whole school via

Wellness Day tied in perfectly with R U Ok? Day and National Child Safety Week, and allowed the children to get off technology for the day and do other things like gardening, cooking or any family activity like board games.

“I love being back at school,” Prep student Tom said, but I miss my big brother being here.

“As much as I had fun dressing up during Book Week and reading a story to my class via a Google Meet, I certainly prefer being back at school with the children in person,” Junior staff member Elly Smith said.

Are we going to take a new path to

LOCKDOWNS give time for reflection. Our local leaders campaigned for coal jobs, government jobs and handouts.

They campaigned for hospital upgrades - which all regional centres were getting anyway. They campaigned for grandiose facilities and relocations that had questionable motives and benefits, and they campaigned for street upgrades required because of poor upkeep of what we have.

We’ve been left with an industry we can no longer sustain, a government hub that lays empty - which just moves jobs from one side of the tracks to the other.

We’ve been left with an indoor pool and arts centre we can’t access or use in the current climate.

Campaigning for rail upgrades was granted, but the silence over lack of upgrade to the Moe section is deafening.

By contrast I have been campaigning for multiuse walking tracks, better roads, and better online content.

I have been campaigning for better grass-roots community facilities and for locally procured products - such as playgrounds and street infrastructure.

Online content I personally built up, only to have a large part of it decimated by a council endorsed group.

Planned projects collect dust with funds instead spent on repetitive surveys, tokenistic campaigns and feel-good forums that produce nothing but slogans and fridge magnets.

Despite lockdowns, we could still benefit with better and safer roads.

And daily I watch people walk near my home - in the long grass or against 100km/h traffic - despite raising the concern and drafting a workable plan to address the matter back in 2010. Suburban driveways remain gravel.

Storm water seepage creates a walking hazard.

Gardens lay stricken with rubbish, street sides with prolific weeds. Signage exists that is unwelcoming, incomplete or in disrepair. Volunteer built projects are gutted plaque-by-plaque by do-gooders that can’t undertake the simplest form of historical investigation. All of it has left us exposed with our pants down.

Now could be the perfect opportunity to goad ‘I told you so’. But it is futile and unproductive.

What I will do is outline and then ask our leaders: If you haven’t realised yet, the next ten years will be different to what you thought and planned for.

Cheap airfares are long gone. Debt burden and job insecurity is what faces many.

So what is the new path to prosperity from here?

Or are we going to repeat the mistake of the past - hoping that yesterday will magically return - like we did last time around?

Spray for graffiti vandal

RECENTLY, I was woken by a graffiti vandal on my roof.

Getting up, I noticed a shoe on my bathroom

Blowing in the wind: Phil Rayment writes with Latrobe City Council embarking on a transition taskforce, it is profoundly disappointing and somewhat paradoxical that council resolved that the establishment of a Planning Panel for the Delburn Wind Farm is premature pending further information gathering.

window, so I opened the window and yelled “what the f*** are you doing on my roof”.

The vandal then took off.

Going outside to see if I could still see them and what they were up to, I saw the graffiti on the roof wall.

I reported it to the Morwell police and they came out and searched the area.

I would like to share a message to this person going around tagging and damaging personal property from me - Castoner - you are nothing, but a coward, sneaking around and night vandalising property as if it is their canvas, scaring residents as they sleep.

Your tags are not art, they are nothing, but ugly words that only mean something to you and cost home owners and business money to either remove or paint over and then you think this is your right to do it again.

If you want to be an artist, get your own canvas, stop vandalising property and making our streets look shit and our neighbourhood look like they are a crappy place to live.

Marion Levens, Morwell

Mixed messages from council over renewables

THE Express issue of Thursday, September 2 reported the establishment and first meeting of the Latrobe City Transition Taskforce.

The Mayor is quoted as stating that a key goal is to establish a diversification of industry to futureproof the local economy faced with the ever more urgent transition away from brown coal based power generation.

The article stated that council will target investment in fields including, among others, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy.

In the light of this welcome, but long-overdue initiative, it is profoundly disappointing and somewhat paradoxical that council resolved, at its special meeting held on Monday, August 16, to make a submission to DELWP arguing that establishment of a planning panel for the Delburn Wind Farm is premature pending further information gathering.

This despite the extensive consultations over an extended period, as a result of which project proponent OSMI Australia made a number of significant amendments designed to address concerns of residents.

It is highly concerning that council’s decision may greatly delay a vital project for our region or discourage other moves to develop renewable energy generation as part of cutting carbon-based emissions as rapidly as possible.

Philip Rayment, Traralgon

More poor form from graffiti artists

Thank you to our school teachers

A long overdue change: The seven-day lockdown in the City of Ballarat is the type of local government approach needed, writes Nationals leader Peter Walsh. photograph supplied Page 20 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 20 September, 2021

I WANT to give a big thank you to all the school teachers and principals in my electorate of Gippsland South for their forbearance through the difficulties of the pandemic, notably through the uncertainty of the past few weeks.

Our teachers, and especially principals, have a tough enough job at the best of times, but dealing with remote learning and switching between the two is not easy.

I heard from a number last week who were

extremely frustrated at the flip-flopping of the state government with respect to the regional return to school.

To be told two weeks ago there would be no classroom teaching until Term 4, only then to have the Premier announce Years Prep to 2 and Year 12 would in fact go back, had some teachers in tears and their plans in disarray.

Myself and my Opposition colleagues believe all regional students should be back at school now, but at the very least, at the start of term four.

We believe this can be done safely with our plan to prioritise vaccination for willing teachers, closing schools only on a case by case basis, rapid testing and other measures such as improving ventilation.

Our position to get schools re-opened is backed by research released today by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute which showed COVID in children, including the Delta variant, is rarely serious and the main risks to them are indirect effects on mental health and education which are “worsened by continued lockdowns and school closures”. We must get kids back to school.

Danny O’Brien MP. Nationals State Member for Gippsland South

Dementia impacting many lives

THE number of Australians living with dementia is close to half a million – a number that is set to double in the next 25 years – with an estimated 1.6 million people involved in their care.

In Victoria, there are an estimated 120,900 people living with dementia.

Many people living with dementia can continue to live well after their diagnosis, which is why the theme for Dementia Action Week 2021, September 20-26, is ‘A little support makes a big difference’.

The national awareness raising campaign will continue to lead the discussion about discrimination, which we know has a big impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers.

This year Dementia Australia will provide information and tips to encourage all Australians to increase their understanding of dementia and learn how they can make a difference to the lives of people around them who are impacted – and to help eliminate discrimination.

The good news is that a lot can be done to improve the experience for people living with dementia and carers.

To find out how you can make a difference please visit www.dementia.org.au.

FIRES

ABC TV, 8.40pm

The devastating blazes of 2019 and 2020 which swept across Australia are the motive behind this star-studded six-part anthology series. Co-creator/executive producer Tony Ayres (Glitch) wanted to tell the real stories of the people affected “so that we never forget what they went through and always remember our responsibility for change.” In tonight’s premiere, volunteer firefighters Tash (Eliza Scanlen) and Mott (Hunter Page-Lochard, pictured) nearly lose their lives, but form a bond.

SATURDAY

BATTLE OF BRITAIN: 3 DAYS TO SAVE THE UK

SBS, 7.30pm

Whether you are a history buff who delights in every little detail or someone who feels like watching something different to a reality TV or game show tonight, you should probably get your nerves in check. As British historian and veteran TV presenter Dan Snow warns, with foreboding music flooding our ears: “We’ll be telling the story in minute-by-minute detail”.

Using archival footage and real-life recreations of critical moments, Snow and his co-presenter Kate Humble (pictured) examine three pivotal days during WWII, when the British air force was bombarded by Hitler’s Luftwaffe. It’s a very theatrical, high-impact history lesson.

GHOSTS

ABC TV PLUS, 9.10pm

Death is a laughing matter in n this funny and unique series the wholee family can enjoy. Returning tonightt for a third season at Button Hou use, fans will be delighted to see the ghosts of past seasons haven’t left. If you’re unfamiliar with h this quaint, lighthearted British series, there are two fantastic seasons waiting to be binged. You’ll be enamoured d by the motley crew of spirits, including Kitty (Lolly Adefope, pictured), who are forever stuck wearing the garb they took their last breath in, as they try to coexist with the living housee residents. Tonight, there’s a revelation when a film crew arrives to shoot a reconstrucction of an assassination plot for a historical documentary.

The talented David Tennant, who glides from sci-fi (Doctor Who) and murdermystery (Broadchurch) to comedy (Staged), steers a subtler route in this uncomfortable dramatised examination of De Scottish serial killer Dennis “Des” Nilsen. From 1978 to 1973, Nilsen killed at least 12 boys and men: m this three-part p miniseries, premiering tonight, explores the mind of the murderer after he openly admitted tto his crimes, the challenges of th he police force in dealing with him and find ding his victims,, and d the cultural climatte of early ’80s Britain. a Bleak eak but compelling, Tennant’s portrayal is sophisticated and guardeed, adding to the of mystery o the impasssive serial killeer.

David Tennant sttars as a serial killer in Dess.

“A number of the Auxiliary members including my sister got old and said that they were resigning,” she said.

“Even though I hadn’t been involved for the 10 or 15 years before, I had an association through playing the piano at the annual old Christmas concert fundraisers the Auxiliary used to stage.

“I said I was willing to become the president as long as I had a secretary and treasurer who

But her association with the Moe-based facility stretches back decades, even before the first sod was turned on the site.

“That was to get things going at the very start, I can also vividly remember the day that the Auxiliary raised enough money to afffford f a transport bus … that was a big day.”

“The three of us did it together for 17 years, had a lot of great times and held many fundraising stalls until we got old and sadly the Auxiliary disbanded.”

“I lived at Yallourn North at the time, but used to cart the jams, plants and other various items in the station wagon for the fundraising stalls we used to have in the forecourt of the Moe Hospital as it was at that time.

“Thankfully I had a great secretary in Lynette Seccombe and a great treasurer in Willie Mercer.

Mrs Hibbert, 90, and her husband Leslie, who turns 100 on September 21, have called Latrobe Valley Village home for the past three years.

Carol reflects on a fine career often helping others adjust with the transition of moving from home into the facility and also playing her part in chronicling the history of residents.

“I encourage people to tell me their life story and we write it down, then print it out as a keepsake for their families,” she said.

“Everybody has a story and there’s some amazing ones out there, people who arrived as refugees fleeing from war and making a great life for themselves in the Latrobe Valley and Australia.”

But the next major event is Leslie’s 100th birthday, which promises to be a big occasion.

Current Facility Care manager Trish Turner.

With years of experience working within Latrobe Valley Village and her most recent role being the Clinical Care co-ordinator, Trish Turner was successful in taking over the Facility Care manager position.

PLATINUM DEALER & 2019

Starting her career in nursing at the inception of the Moe Hospital in 1972, Rosie worked around Melbourne, Sydney and Perth before returning to Moe and finding her passion in aged care.

Prior to Rosie’s appointment as the first Facility Care manager, nursing care was managed by Theresa Mullucks for a few years and before that Janet Smethurst was the original nursing manager from 1983–1999.

Since 1998, Meals On Wheels has operated out of the main kitchen at Latrobe Valley Village.

“I was a volunteer for seven years before taking on the supervisor role 25 years ago,” Kathy said.

Roger has volunteered with Meals on Wheels for 20 years and said it is the people the organisation helps which gives him joy.

“You get to know their likes and dislikes, which helps us to personalise their meal,” he said.

“Having the opportunity to see the aged in their homes is really crucial, it gives us the chance to run our eye over them and often I have had to call family or an ambulance if they’ve been unwell.”

Nancy has been a volunteer with Meals on Wheels for 14 years and spoke of the vital, personal role it plays in the community.

“Their children have been raised here and moved away.

prosperity or repeat past mistakes?

Online comments

limit the catastrophic impact of lockdowns have been heard at long last, with the Andrews Labor Government finally taking a limited approach to lockdown.

The decision to put the City of Ballarat into a seven-day lockdown is not the news any Victorian wanted to hear, but there are families and businesses in communities with no active cases and located hundreds of kilometres away that don’t deserve more pain of unnecessary lockdown.

The Liberals and Nationals have been calling for months for blanket statewide lockdowns to be a last resort, not the first response.

While it’s heartening Daniel Andrews has finally adopted our plan for limited lockdowns, too many jobs and small businesses haven’t survived the past 18 months of Labor’s uncertainty.

There will be many regional Victorians asking what’s changed in the past seven days for the government to backflip on 18 months of arrogantly ignoring communities’ calls for a sensible approach.

Even last week, Mr Andrews’ Deputy Premier was telling Victorians: “you do not control this pandemic by thinking that you can do so by having different settings in different local government areas. It does not work.”

Mr Andrews likes to claim every decision is based on public health advice. It should be released – immediately.

It’s time for the secrets to end.

Victorians need a plan out of this.

We want hope. And we deserve the truth.

Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals

LATROBE CITY HAS GIPPSLAND’S LOWEST VACCINATION RATE Deidre Morley: Had my first dose two weeks ago at Traralgon racecourse! Couple of days later tried to book my second appointment to no avail! Rang hotline, rang doctors, been on government sites trying to book one, been on hot doc every day! Still can’t get an appointment! With the Traralgon racecourse not booking your second dose straight away is putting pressure on the GP clinics! I shouldn’t have to go 30-50kms away to get the jab!

Surely!

Jody Dzwonkowski: Because it’s so hard to get appointments! Most people I know have had to travel to Sale, Warragul etc to get an appointment. And there is a growing problem trying to book second appointments! I didn’t mind waiting for those essential workers or vulnerable people to go ahead of me but I’m sick of being told we aren’t pulling our weight and not having high rates when clearly people are trying and it’s purely a lack of access!

Tanya Hudson: Would be great if we could get appointments. GP’s are fully booked or won’t take new patients and only one state run hub between Warragul and Sale. Not good enough.

Katrina Moore: I had my first vaccine yesterday at Yarragon medical centre. They were so busy with people getting their vaccine.

Nicole Lee Smith: I had to drive three towns away to get my first one ever since then had headaches and felt so tired l only got it because l want to see friends and family.

Ruth Hardman: My daughter had to resort to AZ at Chemist Warehouse because she couldn’t get another appointment before December and she needs to work (essential service).

Monica Tanian: Walk in at Traralgon racecourse for 1st & 2nd. Was not an issue.

Nerelle Foster: It’s hard being a full time worker and trying to get this done. We can’t just leave work for an undetermined period of time while we line up, and bookings at clinics are 5+ weeks in advance.

Tonya Russell: I’ve been trying to book through the booking portal on the Vic Gov site for days only to get an error message every time I click on the link. Error message just says ‘we’re working on fixing the problem’ Heidi Hogan: Maybe cause it’s near impossible to get an appointment local. I have to drive 40 mins away to get mine and I’ve had people from Traralgon tell me they had to travel to Bairnsdale.

Megan Alston Bates: Where are our state and federal politicians advocating for more vaccines supplies for our area?

Jacob McKenzie: I had to get my first dose in Warragul then I’ve booked my second in Sale! Unless I waited till Nov-Dec to get it locally, I’m lucky I’ve got a job where I can book in like this.

Linda Di Sante: This post annoys me because appointments are fully booked out!

I’ve been turned down twice to get the vaccine at a walk in centre when I’ve been a front line worker the whole time! I’m now forced to drive to Sale to get it done! The hotline is useless because you can’t get through and some clinics are not taking ‘new’ patients to get the jab! My medical clinic is not an approved service so I had to go elsewhere. There are people willing to get it and can’t so stop putting us all in the same barrel!

Eric Seegers: More staff & doses needed across Gippsland seems to be the case.

Maybe even another new site.

Deb Pace: No issue getting both doses.

Vaxed at Traralgon Racecourse.

Lynette Taylor: Sounds like it is more a supply issue that is causing the lower numbers.

Jeff Pledge: Clearly need to open up more vaccination points!!!

Great work: Churchill Primary School’s impressive NAPLAN results earned praise online this week. photograph supplied Leanne Quirk: Got mine in April so no problem. Fully vaccinated.

Jen Sumner: Maybe that’s because you can’t get an appointment until December.

FAREWELL TO A MORWELL FOOTBALL-NETBALL CLUB LEGEND Ella Grant: Always heard my mum speak highly of this man.

CHURCHILL’S IMPRESSIVE RESULTS Jana Boshoff-Draper: Great school, fantastic teachers! Great work!

Areke Duthie: Well done to all students in these unprecedented times Anna Wood: Well done Mia Jan Scott: Congratulations.

HEALTH NEEDS PRIORITY WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING Shona Smith: The region is very lucky to have someone like yourself pushing these issues. Well done.

FOUR QUARTERS – CLASSIC GRAND FINALS Sarah Lush: Glengarry Vs Heyfield 2013.

Draw after four quarters going into a fifth quarter. Confusion throughout the ground as to what was to happen. Heyfield with Szabo injured during the game and Glengarry having players fatiguing quickly. Josh King dominating the fifth quarter to kick the winning goals. Goes down in history as a classic grand final.

Joel Keane: Churchill v Glengarry 1996 at Heyfield.

Jesse Jackway: Glengarry v Heyfield 2013 Draw has to be up there!

Josh Stubbe: 2009 Maffra v Traralgon after the siren win. Surely gets a look in Adrian Burgiel, Hayden Burgiel.

BRANCH CLOSURE A CRUEL BLOW Lisa Ross: I set my son up with this bank specifically because someone was always there to help him with the atm as he cannot read them. He loves going into the bank as everyone has been very helpful, polite and never patronising.

Sean Elliston: I’m with you Harry. I’ve been using this bank for over 36 years since being

an apprentice in the SEC, and my family just as long. I have expressed my disappointment by letter with no response. We will miss the staff who some we have known since we started, you can’t get the same personal service over a laptop or mobile phone via a call centre.

Cheryl Nanos: It makes it hard on businesses in Morwell as they can’t get change when they need it.

Christopher Wakefield: So banks need to stay open even when it’s costing more to hire staff than there worth...not a lot of people go into branches these days it’s not like it was 10 years ago where you need to go in to withdraw or deposit money all can be done from ATM’s nowadays.

Carolyne Boothman: Without a doubt it will be very difficult for the elderly and those with mobility issues to do their banking without this branch.

Baz Bobber: Bank Australia going next month. Only able to do things on-line. What a crock.

Adam Broadbent: It’s a bit misleading to say Morwell has no other bank. I understand we still have NAB/JAB, CBA and Westpac. Not to mention every supermarket and post office you can also get cash out.

Gordon Curran: Why would anyone want to go to a bank in 2021? I was wrongly told I had to attend a bank branch to collect a new debit card because I had to sign for it after showing photo ID. Turned out neither was correct. Could have been posted. At 75, all bills are paid by direct debit and shopping by debit card. Bank statements come online and does BPay and bank to bank transfers. Cash is rarely needed and comes from a hole in the wall!

CAR COLLIDES WITH HOUSE IN CHURCHILL Joanne Twomey: Oh dear the owners were doing a great job renovating this place, not good.

Louise Hogan: That’s an insane amount of damage.

Ken Shaw: Bloody house playing on the road again.

Rosemary Twyerould: Wow, it certainly smacked it hard.

Latrobe Relay For Life goes virtual for 2021

THE Latrobe Relay For Life planned for Saturday, October 16 is going virtual this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the Latrobe Relay For Life not able to go ahead in its traditional format, the Latrobe Relay For Life Committee, together with Cancer Council Victoria, is excited to be able to bring the local community the event virtually to raise vital funds for Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.

Cancer Council Victoria’s head of fundraising and communication Lyrian Fleming-Parsley is very excited to be assisting the Latrobe Relay For Life Committee with bringing the muchanticipated event online.

“We know that this virtual event won’t be the same as being at the physical track, but the Latrobe virtual event will still be really exciting and will allow us to connect and enjoy all that we love about Relay For Life in a whole new way,” Ms Fleming-Parsley said.

“Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our volunteers, staff, and supporters.

“I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to planning for and supporting this event so far.”

Ms Fleming-Parsley said COVID-19 greatly impacted the number of Victorians taking part in cancer screening programs last year, as well as the number of people going to their doctor if they had symptoms or noticed a change.

“The far-reaching impacts of COVID-19 could mean potentially later diagnoses and worse outcomes for people affected by cancer,” she said.

“Now more than ever we need your support to continue providing our vital services to cancer patients and their families.

“Thank you for all your wonderful work in supporting Cancer Council’s vital services through Relay For Life, and for your patience and understanding during these challenging times.

“Relay For Life celebrates cancer survivors, carers and their friends and families and brings communities together.

“It’s now more important than ever to feel connected and we encourage everyone to connect online with Latrobe Relay For Life.”

Details of the virtual format will be released as soon as possible.

For more information about Relay For Life, visit relayaustralia.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85.

Moe Art Society

THE Moe Art Society’s Spring Art Show will open to the public on Saturday, September 25 at 9am and remain open until 1pm.

On weekdays we will be open from 9am until 5pm and Saturdays 9am until 1pm.

There are three prizes for our Raffle donated

by Ken Downs, Karen Rosato and John Reeve.

Our display has a wide range of work from local artists who are members of the Society.

Our Opening Night planned for September 24 has been cancelled due to restrictions, but we are planning an Awards Night on the last Friday of the main show on Friday, October 22.

Each Saturday for the duration of the Art Show there will be a Sausage Sizzle in the Forecourt of the Library.

Check your water meter location before mowing

Community Corner

GIPPSLAND Water is reminding customers to check the location of their water meter before starting up their lawn mowers this spring.

Around this time of year, Gippsland Water tends to receive an increase in calls from customers reporting damage caused to their water meters while cutting long grass.

Parts of Gippsland have experienced a burst of spring growth which could quickly disguise water meters.

Damaged meters usually require repair by a Gippsland Water field crew.

Checking the location of water meters is a simple step that could save customers time and money.

Customers who are unsure of where their water meter is can call 1800 050 500 for more information.

with Gregor Mactaggart

The Rotary Club of Moe will be there on Saturday, September 25 for the opening to the public.

They will be followed by the Moe and Newborough Scout Groups and the Moe Lions Club.

These community groups need support so come along and enjoy a sausage and onions if you desire and visit our Art Show, COVID restrictions will apply, and visitors are asked to wear a mask, sterilize, and sign in.

We look forward to meeting you all when you visit us.

We hope that despite COVID restrictions we can have an enjoyable Event for the Community despite restrictions.

The Moe Art Society meets every Thursday from 9.30 until 2pm at the Mechanics Hall in Heritage Park, Lloyd Street, Moe. All enquiries to secretary Karen Rosato 0400 278 565 or president Beryl Galloway 0407 271 686.

New date for Erica Country Expo

Be aware: Gippsland Water is urging customers to take notice of their water meters when moving the lawn this spring.

photograph supplied

THE Erica Country Expo has been rescheduled to a new date due to ongoing public health concerns impacting the state.

The event will take place on the new date of Saturday, January 15, 2022.

The Erica Country Expo will be a full day, family friendly and community led event.

Attendees will enjoy a range of entertainment including wood chopping and chainsaw wood carving competitions, bike stunt shows, wine tastings and much more.

Kids will be spoilt for choice with fun activities to explore including face painting, a petting zoo, rides, and entertainment shows.

The event will be held at the Erica Recreational Reserve.

For questions, please contact the Committee via the event’s Facebook page.

“COVID has had a huge impact on all parts of community life and the running of events has been a major casualty,” Baw Baw Shire Deputy Mayor Michael Leaney said.

“The Walhalla Steampunk Gala was cancelled and sadly the Erica Country Expo has suffered the same fate.

“For a region of the shire that is extremely reliant on tourism and has been negatively affected by bushfires, flooding and COVID restrictions, this is another blow.

“Council is committed to these events and our remote communities, we hope that in 2022 we will be allowed to proceed so that everyone can enjoy these festivities.”

“Each year I am amazed at the high standard and overwhelming amount of entries my office receives.”

Mr Chester said this year’s theme ‘100 per cent Authentic Gippsland’ was an opportunity to showcase the diversity of the region.

“We are so lucky to live in this part of the world with the mountains, bush and ocean right at our doorstep,” Mr Chester said.

“Taking the photographs may be a little more difficult this year due to coronavirus restrictions, but I am confident the standard will be as high as it has been in the past.”

More than 20,000 free copies of the calendar will be available across Gippsland at the end of this year.

Photographers are also encouraged to upload their photos to social media using the hashtag #lovegippsland.

To enter the #lovegippsland calendar competition, photos must be a minimum size of 4MB to a maximum of 10MB. If photos are selected for inclusion in the calendar, they must be available in a resolution of greater than 4MB at 300dpi.

Photos should be landscape orientation as per the calendar’s shape.

Entrants need to provide their name, hometown and contact details, plus a caption for their photo.

Entries close at 5pm on Wednesday October 13, 2021.

Entries are limited to two per person.

Visit www.darrenchester.com.au for details and to enter.

Latrobe Valley Philatelic Society cancels its Stamp and Coin Fair THE Latrobe Valley Philatelic Society is concerned that even though the COVID-19 restrictions have been eased in regional Victoria, it is unsure when restrictions will be eased for the metropolitan region.

Furthermore, knowing that the COVID-19 virus is still active in the community, we cannot ensure the safety of the people who will be attending our fair.

Our members would be devastated if the virus was to spread to the community by holding the Stamp and Coin Fair, this year.

Therefore, we have decided to cancel our annual Stamp and Coin Fair that was to be held on Saturday, October 16, 2021.

Unfortunately, the Latrobe Valley Philatelic Society may have already advertised our fair in the Gippsland Senior Magazine and/or What’s On Section of The Express.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

However, we look forward to holding our Fair once more in 2022.

Latrobe Valley Toastmasters THE mere thought of speaking to a large audience, or even to small groups, makes some people uncomfortable or even terrified.

Toastmasters International is an international non-for-profit organisation established in the United States in 1924 by Ralph Smedley to provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning effective communication - we help develop confidence in speaking and communication techniques.

To meet individual needs Toastmasters offers ten pathways to develop speaking skills, such motivational strategies, public speaking and coaching.

We meet the second and fourth Wednesday evening of every month at the Traralgon Neighbourhood Learning House, 11–13 Breed Street, at 7.30pm.

Our meetings last for about 90 minutes, and consist of opportunities to practice impromptu speaking, prepared speeches based on projects from chosen pathways, and evaluations, which are feedback sessions outlining strengths and suggestions for improvement.

People are welcome to attend our meetings without obligation.

Currently, due to lockdowns, we meet via Zoom and we welcome anyone who would like to contact us in this way.

For further information contact Fred Mattheyse at 0439 536 066.

Neighbourhood Watch Latrobe needs new members NEIGHBOURHOOD Watch Latrobe is a group of volunteers that work on many levels within the community to ensure a safe and secure environment to all people in the Latrobe Valley region.

The group welcomes new volunteers to assist with a number of community events they stage including sausage sizzles and secure number plate days.

Touch of Traf in Red Centre

Journey: A pair of famous Trafalgar trucks (pictured here at Coober Pedy) are now on display at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame in Alice Springs.

A PAIR of famous Trafalgar trucks are now on display at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame in Alice Springs.

The two trucks were donated to the Hall of Fame, as part of a special delivery by local business Fowler’s Asphalting, in honour of the late Raymond 'Digger' Fowler and his brother Wayne, who formed the house removal business Fowler and Sons of Trafalgar with their father Monty.

Some readers might remember the old Fowler and Sons tin shed next to the Trafalgar IGA supermarket.

The trucks became legendary during their time in the Fowler and Sons fleet, both working almost every day, winching and rescuing all sorts of things.

If there was an emergency, these trucks were called.

The truck known as ‘Old Albert’ was especially iconic, with its strength a telling hallmark.

It was said Old Albert would ‘go anywhere and do anything’.

Arguably the most memorable story regarding Old Albert was when it successfully outdid a haulage truck many times its size in winching an intrepid load off the face of Mount Baw Baw. Old Albert’s determination stood the test of

time, and will now be forever on display in the Hall of Fame.

Digger Fowler’s son Warren purchased these trucks so they would be kept in history as they were.

They were unloaded at the Transport Hall of Fame in late August to be rested in the museum where others can hear about their amazing stories, look at the photos and feel the memories of an era no longer.

VCE students put business and tech skills to the test during hackathon YEAR 11 and 12 students in Gippsland have the opportunity to put their business and tech skills to the test and have the chance to secure a scholarship to study Australia’s first degree in Cognitive Enterprise at Federation University.

A Cognitive Enterprise is a business that uses disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), automation, blockchain technology (which supports cryptocurrency) and 5G to transform and innovate.

As part of the online ‘hackathon’ event, students curious about disruptive technologies like artificial

intelligence and blockchain, will work in teams to solve business problems in a creative and innovative way.

They will be mentored by staff from global technology company IBM, Federation Business School lecturers and other industry experts to come up with business ideas using these new technologies.

Students will pitch their ideas at the end of the day and the winning team of up to four members will each receive a $3000 scholarship for their first year of study in Federation University’s new Bachelor of Cognitive Enterprise degree in 2022 or

2023, should they enrol in the program. Federation Business School Dean Professor Christina Lee said the hackathon will provide the students with a taster of the Cognitive Enterprise degree.

“This hackathon is a great way for students to see if a degree in Cognitive Enterprise is for them,” she said.

It’s hands on learning where students can actively use technology to solve problems and potentially secure a scholarship for their first year of university.”

The degree, developed in collaboration with IBM

focuses on how these disruptive technologies can be used to innovate across all areas of business – from marketing, IT, management, banking and finance, to social and environmental sciences.

The Bachelor of Cognitive Enterprise can also be studied online.

Students will be able to gain real-world experience through internships and earn IBM Digital Badges (certifications) in blockchain technology and AI. The hackathon will be held virtually on Thursday, September 23 from 10am-1.30pm.

Students can register at: bit.ly/fedhackathon

Community raises valuable funds Shop Local METRICON Homes and the Gippsland community have together raised more than $50,000 for local not-for-profit organisation Olivia’s Place to help support new and expectant parents in need across the region as part of their Winter Appeal.

Metricon continued its partnership with the vitally important charity with a $3000 donation to the Winter Appeal, helping Olivia’s Place reach its goal of $50,000 to support young Gippsland families.

Thanks to the generosity of the local community, the goal has been exceeded, ensuring Olivia’s Place can support these families.

“We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who joined us in helping Olivia’s Place, by making a donation during the Winter Appeal,” Metricon’s Gippsland manager Jeff Telford said.

“We are both proud to support Olivia’s Place and the difference the organisation makes in the lives of many young Gippsland families and to be a part of a community that rallies around each other in times of need. I would recommend anyone in the community who is able to be a part of this appeal to get involved.”

Being a mother or expectant mother while facing hardship is incredibly difficult, so the work of Olivia’s Place to have supported 187 families this financial year with almost 1500 appointments and more than $105,000 in material goods is so important to the wellbeing of these people.

They’ve helped people in serious need such as Tanya who faced family violence whilst unexpectedly pregnant; Jessica who experienced the pain and loss of a miscarriage and Kristy who was hit extreme financial hardship just one month before giving birth.

Helping these people isn’t possible without the support of the community, so the Winter Appeal has been a truly amazing and vital success.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made a donation, no matter how big or small,” Olivia’s Place co-founder Kirsten Finger said.

“Without the generosity of the local community and local businesses like Metricon we would not be able to do what we do, so thank you for supporting us to help more local parents give their babies the best possible start to life,” she concluded.

you can at oliviasplace.org.au/donate. For every additional $1000 raised, another Gippsland family will be directly supported by Olivia Place’s every week for an entire year.

For those who are unable to make a monetary donation but would still like to contribute in some way, Olivia’s Place is always in need of volunteers

and pre-loved baby items they can re-home such as clothes, cots, prams, car seats, high chairs, bottles, change tables and more.

South Africa and spans a mighty 19,623 square kilometres.

Sadly, rhinos are poached for their horn with alarming frequency, often leaving small calves without a mother. If these babies are not slaughtered for a tiny stump of horn, which is, unfortunately, often the case, the ‘Pit-Track Team’ rescues them and takes them to where they will be given a chance of survival.

For obvious reasons the location of this facility is kept secret as the dangers from criminal elements to both the organisations members and the animals they are caring for are always present.

Founder and director of ‘Pit-Track’ Carl Thornton has dedicated his life to the protection of these majestic animals, and is hugely grateful for the support that Pit-Track receives from Australia.

There is much people can do to assist. Pit-Track and ‘Fund A K9’ memberships are available.

Fund A K9 enables you to choose one of the team dogs to sponsor.

Being an Australian member also brings other benefits such as discount on a range of merchandise and an invitation to a members-only function which is held annually.

All enquiries can be directed via email to miranda@capturedinafrica.co.za

You can join them: The Captured in Africa Foundation and Pit-Track K9 Conservation and Anti-Poaching Unit helps critically endangered species. photograph contributed

AUSTRLAIAN ambassador for South African not-for-profits Captured in Africa Foundation and Pit-Track K9 Conservation and Anti-Poaching Unit Miranda Paech is calling on those with a love of animals to consider joining the organisations.

Since these organisations were formally introduced into Australia in mid-2019 when founders and directors Drew Abrahamson and Carl Thornton visited from South Africa, Ms Paech has endeavoured to educate about the plight of the animals that they dedicate their lives to protecting.

In Africa the pandemic has enabled an overwhelming increase in poaching of already critically endangered animals in the wild.

With tourism grinding to a halt and no tourist safaris being conducted in the National Parks, poachers have had a ‘free reign’.

Their increased numbers only present an even greater challenge for those engaged in their detection and apprehension.

In South Africa, Pit Track K9 Conservation and Anti-Poaching Unit operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, deploying teams of rangers and K9s to protect rhinos from poachers and to make sure that contraband, weapons and rhino horn are not entering or exiting through three check points into reserves in the Greater Kruger area.

LOCAL residents are being encouraged to shop local as part of a new marketing campaign called ‘Shop Local South Gippsland’.

The campaign aims to support local businesses by helping to promote Shop Local and Eat Local messaging.

It is a reminder that these businesses are mostly owned and operated by local people.

Many are family businesses who contribute to local schools, sporting clubs and community groups. By supporting local businesses, the whole community benefits.

“Shopping and eating local means so much to our businesses and it will continue to be important in the weeks, months and years to come,” South Gippsland Shire Council’s director of economy and community Renae Littlejohn said “COVID-19 has been incredibly difficult for many industries – it would be great if we could increase the amount of support for our local retailers and eateries by residents and visitors.

As we all know local businesses employ local people and use local services. Shopping local is easy to do and the benefits can be enormous.

We really hope that everyone will get behind this campaign.”

This messaging is particularly important right now as many businesses continue to be impacted by often sudden COVID-19 restrictions.

The campaign features advertising, shop signage, posters, a social media campaign, and reusable bags featuring the Shop Local South Gippsland branding that will be available through many local businesses.

It is anticipated that this consistent messaging will become familiar with residents, and be a friendly reminder to support our businesses by shopping local instead of online or in metrobased shopping centres.

The campaign has been assisted by a number of local business and community associations who have been distributing materials to retailers in their respective towns.

The Shop Local South Gippsland promotion has been developed as part of South Gippsland Shire Council’s COVID-19 Community Support Package.

Doctor calling: Health journalist, broadcaster and commentator, Dr Norman Swan, will be special guest and keynote speaker at the 2020/21 Gippsland Primary Health Network’s annual general meeting and 2021 Gippsland Primary Health Awards.

Good Doctor the prescription Mental health service at LRH for Gippsland health awards

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE Regional Hospital will host one of 20 pop-up community mental health services being delivered across the state to provide wellbeing checks and counselling in the pandemic.

These pop-ups will provide services in the Latrobe City, Baw Baw, Bass Coast, East Gippsland, South Gippsland, and Wellington local government areas.

The services will be delivered by communitymanaged mental health provider Mind Australia and will open progressively from the end of September.

The state government is spending $13.3 million on these pop-up services to fund about 90 dedicated clinicians as the Delta outbreak continues.

A dedicated triage and referral hotline and website is also binge established so people can start booking appointments.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said locally accessible mental health care was a key part of carrying out the recommendations made by the Mental Health Royal Commission.

“It’s so important as we fix our broken mental health system, that we also support those who are struggling because of the pandemic,” Ms Shing said.

“And this is where community focused, locally operated, accessible supports will be key - not just for the Latrobe Valley, but for Gippsland as a whole.”

The support will help to reduce the burden on emergency departments already under great pressure from the pandemic.

It will provide more effective, efficient and personalised support for people struggling with their mental health.

These pop up services will be supplemented with a range of dedicated supports for specific groups who may be at higher risk of isolation or mental health concerns as a result of the pandemic.

Mind chief executive officer Gill Callister thanked the state government for embracing recommendations for more local, accessible and equitable mental health and wellbeing services in the community.

“The range of services announced today will make a big contribution to helping Victorians with the stressors the pandemic is causing in the community,” Ms Callister said.

“From unemployment, isolation and extended home-schooling for young people – the pressures of lockdown are creating a variety of mental health problems that are best treated in a community setting.”

HEALTH journalist, broadcaster and commentator Dr Norman Swan will be special guest and keynote speaker at the 2020/21 Gippsland Primary Health Network’s annual general meeting and 2021 Gippsland Primary Health Awards.

Dr Swan is one of the most trusted voices in the country on coronavirus and is regularly featured in the media.

Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the online event on Wednesday, November 17 would be a unique opportunity to get insights from an expert whose views and advice were respected in the health industry and wider community.

“Dr Swan has emerged as the go-to health correspondent during the COVID19 pandemic,” Ms Proposch said.

“I look forward to hearing him speak at our event.”

Dr Swan hosts the daily ABC podcast Coronacast which answer questions about coronavirus or COVID-19.

He also hosts The Health Report on the ABC’s Radio National, is a regular panellist on The Drum and a guest reporter on Four Corners on ABC Television.

Dr Swan trained in medicine in Scotland and paediatrics in London and Sydney before joining the ABC. He has consulted to the World Health Organisation, co-chaired a global meeting of health ministers in Bamako, West Africa and has been the Australian correspondent for both the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

The event also features young Indigenous singers, Bethany and Laurena from Nowa Nowa.

Ms Proposch said the sisters had “warmed the hearts” of everyone who attended last year’s event.

“We are thrilled they have agreed to sing at our annual event again this year,” she said.

Laurina, now 10, started singing when she was only three years old and Bethany, 8, soon after.

A social media video of the girls’ singing has more than two million views and they are regularly featured on the Kids Rock platform.

The talented young sisters not only sing but are learning guitar, piano and soon the violin.

Registration details for the event which starts at 6pm will be released soon.

Harriers set sights on a new season

Turning for home: The field powers into the home straight during the Ladbroke It Benchmark 58 Handicap (2050m) at Moe last week. The race was won

Holt shows he loves the wet and Moe in top win

HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

EMERGING galloper Holt continued his love affair with Moe on Monday.

The promising four-year-old made it back-toback victories at the Latrobe Valley track with an impressive 1 ¾ length success in the Kiss Print Solutions Benchmark 64 Handicap (1200m).

Jockey Jake Noonan took Holt, who started the $1.75 favourite on the back of his previous Moe win, straight to the lead from barrier five and he was never headed.

Trainer Enver Jusufovic expressed his delight at the performance as Holt again revelled on a rain-affected surface.

“I thought it was a good effort because he’s deep into his preparation,” Jusufovic said post-race.

“He’s probably not as sharp as he was early days, but I think he’s starting to learn the caper and I think he’s got a future.”

Paul and Tracey Templeton enjoyed a hometown victory when Joltin’ Joe stormed to the finishing post in the Ladbrokes Benchmark 64 Handicap (1200m).

The four-year-old son of Stryker has developed into the stable star this preparation thanks to a series of consistent performances.

Jockey Jason Maskiell produced a well-timed ride aboard Joltin’ Joe ($7) who beat home No

Shame ($9.50) by 1 ½ lengths, with Drone Strike ($9) rounding out the trifecta.

“He’s matured into a nice horse this preparation,” Paul Templeton said post-race.

“He’s always shown good ability. As a three-yearold we set him a couple of hard tasks, ran in good maidens and he was always competitive.

“He was a very highly strung (horse early days), but he’s starting to put it all together.”

Jockeys Damien Thornton and Ben Allen shared the day’s riding honours courtesy of winning doubles.

Thornton came to the fore early, winning the Solomons Moe Maiden Plate (1200m) aboard Extreme Flight ($2.80fav) for Team Freedman.

He then backed up in the very next race with Storm De Lune ($5.50), a winner of the K.I.S Comms & Cameras Maiden Plate (1600m).

Allen’s double consisted of Maree De Lune ($4.80), who stylishly took out the Blackshaw Racing Maiden (2050m) and Toorak Playboy in the last event, the Ladbrokes Moe Cup October 15 Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m).

Toorak Playboy ($8) is another horse who tends to save his best form for Moe, with this latest success his second in as many starts at the venue.

For Allen, he was relieved to stay in the good books with dad John, the trainer of Toorak Playboy.

“I didn’t have much luck then, it was a good training effort,” the jockey reported.

“I absolutely butchered him, he was wide the whole way, but he won well. It’s an unreal result, I’ve ridden four or five winners now for dad, so it’s great.”

Tasmanian raider Full Knots Ahead turned heads with arguably the day’s most emphatic win in the S&S Equipment Hire Benchmark 58 Handicap (2400m).

The official winning margin was 2 3/4 lengths, but jockey Craig Newitt was quite kind to the Sigrid Carr-trained six-year-old mare, who put the race away early in the home straight after dictating terms in front.

Jockey Daniel Stackhouse and Tim Hughes combined with O’Mahlo in the Ladbroke It Benchmark 58 Handicap (2050m).

The five-year-old had a reputation for being something of a non-winner, but he shattered that by showing good tenacity to edge out Royal Valley by a nose.

Moe’s propensity to throw up a surprise result was on show in the opening race.

Nana Jenn proved the day’s longest-priced winner at $20 when she won the Duarts Homestead Maiden Plate (1200m) on debut.

A three-year-old daughter of Star Witness out of the well-performed mare Geblitzt, Nana Jenn held off $61 pop Native Girl as the odds-on pop Miss Middle Park failed to fire and finished fifth, beaten by 3.3 lengths.

Joy at Sale Maskiell’s feature success HORSE RACING

MOE trainer Peter Gelagotis was all smiles after The Marg Factor held off her rivals to win the Ladbrokes Benchmark 58 Handicap (1400m) at Sale last Thursday.

The four-year-old mare, a daughter of Gelagotis’ former top-quality galloper Hvasstan, led throughout and found plenty in the locker when needed to deny I Am Chickasaw by a nose.

The Marg Factor ($8.50) delivered the stable’s second winner for September after Grey Khan’s victory at Pakenham and fifth of the new season.

Ridden by Jake Noonan, The Marg Factor took her career record to two wins from seven starts and prizemoney past $45,000.

The stable had four runners in action at Sale, with Kamien a fast-finishing third in a 1400m Benchmark 70 Handicap.

Adonis Kick ran fifth in the 1717m Benchmark 64, while Aria Electra was sixth in a 1400m Maiden.

HORSE RACING

TRAFALGAR jockey Jason Maskiell celebrated a major success when he partnered Bon’s A Pearla to victory in Saturday’s $300,000 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield.

The three-year-old filly belied her $31 starting price after producing a slashing finish to run down favourite Heresy ($3.60) in the Group 2 feature.

“I really liked this horse before she went to the races,” Maskiell said post-race.

“I’ve believed with her a lot and I’m happy to get the result.

Maskiell, 31, has had his share of off-track challenges during his career, most notably a drug addiction which he has overcome with the support of his family.

His wife Candi and son Colt watched the race on the phone from the Caulfield car park due to COVID-19 restrictions, but they were front and centre of his mind post-race.

“This is really up there, everyone knows about my downfall, but to come back in a big way - my wife is out in the car park with my son - it is the biggest race I’ve won since I’ve been back, it’s a great thrill,” he said.

He credited his move to Gippsland in recent

Page 36 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 20 September, 2021

years as an important factor behind his career renaissance.

“I’m in a really good headspace,” he said.

“I’ve got a new manager, Rob Kingston, he’s been doing a fantastic job. I’ve just felt, mentally and physically, I’m in a really good space and I think going forward, my weight’s getting better, I can ride a bit lower.

“I live in Trafalgar. It reminds me a lot of back home in Tassie, it’s quiet, everyone knows everyone, it suits me, it suits the whole family, it’s a really lovely town.”

Maskiell had tp get down to 56kg to ride Bon’s A Pearla, a daughter of Bon Hoffa, a Group 1 winner during his own racetrack career.

Trained by Kevin Corstens at Cranbourne, the bay filly first came to wider attention when she won a 1400m Maiden at Sandown on September 1.

Maskiell has been aboard in all four career starts, with Saturday’s success her second and the $180,000 first-prize cheque lifting her earnings to just shy of $250,000.

Bon’s A Pearla is a $13 chance for the $1 million Thousand Guineas (1600m) being run on October 9.

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

THE Traralgon Harriers recently held its annual general meeting, electing a new committee to steer the club for the next 12 months.

Elected for a third term as president Phill Mayer thanked out-going committee members for their dedication and time, acknowledging that the club has consolidated due to the efforts of an enthusiastic committee and the support of members.

“The club continues to have a really strong representation made up of long-term members including new vice-president Andrew Legge and club captain Greg Semmler, as well as new faces to the club like Trish Clowes and young guns like Molly Irvine,” he said.

“Having a cross section of people with different skills and age demographics means members are well-represented, and decisions can be fair, balanced and shape the best direction for the club.”

The last two years have seen a boon in club membership numbers, despite COVID and against the trend for a running club.

“We’ve increased membership while clubs in Melbourne have struggled. The idea that people want to be connected, have support and run with others of a similar ability, as well as having fun while getting fit, are probably reasons, and the Harriers is unique with our Thursday runs, and having a welcoming club that gives value back to its members, despite some people thinking it’s just for elite runners,” Mayer said.

“Of course we have amazing athletes in the club who smash out incredible times and represent at Athletics Victoria level, but most of our members are social or recreational runners, and they are probably the most inspiring.

“Their stories of building fitness or achieving their goals, overcoming adversity so they can participate, are quite incredible.

“We work hard to try and create a really inclusive atmosphere, and encourage the best runners to come and have a crack at our weekly Thursday run courses, but also those just wanting to challenge themselves and have some fun, and there is an almost equal gender balance.”

The club has been fortunate during 2021 in being able to run its major events in the Community Fun Run in March and the Traralgon Marathon in July, but other events have been postponed and affected due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions.

“We had to postpone the Marathon, so we rescheduled and it was a huge day, but our recent Wirilda trail event was cancelled the day before. We remain optimistic that we’ll be able to run some more live events later in the year, and we’re now getting back to Thursday runs, within the rules and of course in a COVIDSafe way,” Mayer said.

Traralgon Harriers run on Thursdays in-town during winter, and around Latrobe, mainly on trails during summer season.

“We run all year ‘round basically, and we usually welcome people to come and try a couple of runs before they join, but at the moment we’re just running for financial members as part of our COVIDSafe plan,” Mayer said.

Anyone interested in the Harriers can contact Phill Mayer on 0409 878 688.

Four F our Quarters Quar ters

with Liam Durkin and Gregor Mactaggart

Starring on the grand stage Gippsland was also represented in this match, with Moe’s Lachlan Sim playing under the tutelage of Rodney Eade.

ONLY five sleeps remain until the AFL grand final.

Excitement levels are set to hit fever-pitch for Melbourne and Western Bulldogs supporters in anticipation for the big game.

While the players and fans of the respective teams will only have thoughts of winning the match at hand, the grand final is sure to make heroes of those who put in top-shelf performances.

Here are four Gippsland footballers who delivered on the AFL’s biggest stage.

1. Ted Hopkins (Moe).

“GET ready Teddy - you’re on”.

The life of Moe footballer Ted Hopkins changed forever with just those five words, delivered by Carlton coach Ron Barassi at half time of the 1970 grand final.

Up until that point, Hopkins had sat helplessly on the bench as 19th man as Collingwood rushed to a 44-point lead at the main break, seemingly with one hand on the premiership cup.

What happened next was to go down in folklore as one of the greatest grand final victories of all time.

In front of a still record crowd of 121,696, Barassi took the gamble to activate Hopkins into a forward pocket.

Replacing Bert Thornley, Hopkins had an immediate impact, and within 10 minutes of the third quarter, Carlton had slammed on four goals - two of which came from the boot of Hopkins.

He added a third a short time later, and a fourth in the final term to see the Blues to a 10 point win for their most famous premiership.

The blonde 21-year-old was chaired from the ground for his heroics, in what was to become the very moment he would forever be remembered.

However, he was to disappear almost instantly, as he found the adulation afforded to him difficult to handle, and sought to escape his fame by camping in the bush during the off-season.

He played the opening match of 1971, but by then had reasoned he had nothing more to achieve and so retired quietly, finishing his playing career with a grand total of 29 games, 10 goals and the wrath of all Collingwood supporters.

What should be remembered however is that Hopkins didn’t just appear out of nowhere and play a blinder on grand final day.

He was with the team the whole season, making 20 appearances.

Hopkins played 32 games for Moe before being taken by the Blues for the start of the 1968 season.

Like a lot of people who have played for Moe, Hopkins could perhaps best be described as a ‘different cat’.

He was not your stereotypical league footballer, and dabbled in areas such as poetry and published fiction.

In later years he ventured into another eclectic stream, founding the company Champion Data, now the number one source of match day analysis for AFL clubs.

2. Paul Dear (Churchill).

LIKE Andrew Embley and Jason Johannisen, Paul Dear is remembered as something of an unlikely grand final hero.

Of the 123 games Dear played for Hawthorn, he saved arguably his best for the 1991 grand final, taking home a premiership and the Norm Smith Medal after finishing with 18 kicks, eight handballs, 11 marks and two goals in the Hawks’ 53-point win over West Coast.

But there was more to Dear than simply an unknown who enjoyed a two hour purple patch, and his story offers a good lesson in persistence.

Recruited from Churchill, where he was playing senior football as a 15-year-old, Dear came to Hawthorn right in the midst of their greatest era in 1987.

He played in that year’s losing grand final, but couldn’t break into the team for either of the backto-back triumphs of 1988 and 1989.

By 1991 many pundits had written Hawthorn off as ‘too old, too slow’, after playing in seven of the previous nine grand finals.

The danger for Dear meanwhile, was that he had missed the boat.

Season 1991 proved to be a year of firsts - the first grand final played at Waverley (due to construction of the Great Southern Stand at the MCG), the first grand final to feature a team from outside Victoria, and the first time a Batmobile was used in the pre-match entertainment.

Ironically, the only thing that didn’t seem to change was the fact Hawthorn was in another grand final.

Only 10 points separated the teams at three quarter time, before the Hawks kicked eight goals to one in the final term to run out easy winners.

3. Scott Pendlebury (Sale).

Four goal legend: Moe’s Ted Hopkins is chaired from the ground following his heroics in helping Carlton win the 1970 grand final.

photograph blueseum

A crowd of 75,230 people came to Waverley, and heard the name Paul Dear announced as the winner of the Norm Smith Medal.

Dear generously donated his Norm Smith Medal to the Hawthorn museum some years ago.

In keeping with 1991 being a year of firsts, the Brisbane Bears became the first non-Victorian team to win a premiership when they secured the reserves title.

STAGGERING to think how close this one came to not happening.

Had the unluckiest bounce in AFL history not eluded Stephen Milne the week before, the fortunes of so many people would have changed forever.

The 2010 grand final between Collingwood and St Kilda was an epic that ended with scores deadlocked at 68 apiece.

As a result, players were required to front up the following week.

St Kilda had clearly played their grand final the week prior, and the replay became something of a non-contest, with Collingwood winning by their greatest ever margin in a premiership decider.

Former Sale footballer Scott Pendlebury accepted the Norm Smith Medal in the replay for his 29 disposals and 11 tackles.

The only downside to accepting the medal was having his name completely butchered by two-time North Melbourne premiership player Arnold Briedis, who hurriedly scrambled the word ‘Em-el-bry’ on stage.

Unbeknown to most, Pendlebury had played the week prior under severe duress, as father Bruce explained.

“Scott wasn’t well that day, he had gastro and didn’t tell anyone, didn’t tell Malthouse because he probably would have said ‘no, you’re not playing’,” he said.

“It was pretty nerve-racking (the draw).”

“I suppose in one way they were lucky to make a draw but the following week they pumped them and he got the Norm Smith.”

Depending on who you ask, Gippsland should have had two Norm Smith Medallists in 2010.

In the eyes of many, Traralgon’s Brendon Goddard was best on ground in the draw.

Goddard finished with 31 disposals, one less than winner Lenny Hayes, but kicked two goals and took a famous towering hanger when the game was at its most intense.

Gippsland was extremely well represented by players on both sides for the grand finals.

Collingwood had Pendlebury (Sale), Jarryd Blair (Wonthaggi), Leigh Brown (Heyfield), Dale Thomas (Drouin), Brent Macaffer (Kilcunda) and Tyson Goldsack if you want to get technical (from Pakenham but played for Gippsland Power).

St Kilda had Goddard (Traralgon), Andrew McQualter (Traralgon), Jason Gram (Sale), Robert Eddy (Stony Creek) and Sean Dempster (Mallacoota).

Strangely enough, Pendlebury only ever played one senior game for Sale.

For those wondering, it was Round 18 2005 against Warragul.

4. Gary Ayres (Warragul).

THEY say reputations are forged in big games.

Ayres’ legacy as a big-game player is assured, with the former Warragul local winning not one, but two Norm Smith Medals for Hawthorn in 1986 and 1988.

Described as a “good driver in heavy traffic”, Ayres played especially well when it mattered most, and was among the best players in all five premierships he won (1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991) from a career spanning 269 games.

In the 1986 grand final against Carlton he had 17 kicks, six handballs and took five marks, while two years later he finished with 18 kicks, four handballs and six marks as the Hawks completed a then league record 96-point victory over Melbourne.

Playing in the seniors for Warragul as a 16-yearold, Ayres caught the attention of Hawthorn recruiters and eventually made his way down to Glenferrie Oval at the end of the 1977 season.

Fittingly, since 2016, the player judged to be best throughout the AFL finals series as voted by the coaches has received the Gary Ayres Award.

Winners so far are Sydney’s Josh Kennedy (2016), Richmond’s Dustin Martin (2017, 2019 and 2020) and Collingwood’s Steele Sidebottom (2018).

Ayres’ connection to Warragul is on display for all to see, with a place on the Baw Baw Shire sporting Walk of Fame in the town’s Civic Park.

Did we get it right?

Let our newsroom know at sport@ lvexpress.com.au

On the ball Express reporters Gregor Mactaggart and Liam Durkin run the rule over the past week in footy GM: The final dominoes have fallen when it comes to local football.

LD: They have. Gippsland and Mid Gippsland now off the cards, as well as the Mid Gippy juniors, which was called off last night. No great surprise really.

GM: Like we said previously it is probably the right call in the circumstances, but it is nonetheless disappointing, especially for the kids who just want to play footy.

LD: Totally agree. There is not much footy to talk about apart from the AFL, the big game is on the horizon this week.

GM: It is. What is our local interest looking like?

LD: Josh Dunkley set to play for the Bulldogs in his second grand final. He played for Sale in their 2012 flag. Crazy to think he was bottom-age fourths at the time which is just unheard of.

GM: What about a tip?

LD: I’ll stick with Melbourne.

GM: Dogs for me. Why Melbourne?

LD: I just think they’ve got everything in order, a healthy list, players peaking at the right time, the weight of sentimentality behind them, everything just appears primed for them.

GM: The Dogs keep finding a way, there is something about them. The Dees are the fairytale story much like the Dogs were in 2016, but I just have a sneaking suspicion, that edge in grand final experience I think is important.

LD: We both barrack for teams that have broken long premiership droughts like Melbourne are aiming to do so there will be a lot of emotion at stake.

GM: If the Dees do win that will leave the Saints as the team with the longest flag drought.

LD: I’m interested to know, as an old Fitzroy supporter did it feel like a Fitzroy premiership in 2001?

GM: No it didn’t feel like a Fitzroy premiership but it was enjoyable nonetheless, especially beating Essendon. It was good fun beating Collingwood in 2002 and 2003 as well.

LD: And elsewhere there was some bizarre scenes in Cairns with the lights going out in the grand final.

GM: The joys of playing a night grand final hey! It was a great result for Cairns City Lions coach Aaron Davey, former Melbourne player to win a flag himself, maybe that’s an omen for the Dees.

Demons in dreamland FOOTBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

MELBOURNE supporters across the Valley are daring to dream.

After finishing the season on top of the ladder and winning their first two finals with ease, successstarved fans have genuine reason to believe that this - this will finally be the year.

The Demons have captured the hearts of most neutral supporters this season and won plenty of admirers for the way in which they have played their football under Simon Goodwin.

With star players the likes of Max Gawn, Christian Petracca and Jack Viney, Melbourne look its best chance of lifting its first premiership cup since 1964 - a time so long ago people were still paying for things in pounds back then.

From then until now there has been just two further grand final appearances, intercepted by no shortage of false dawns, moments of madness and the lingering so-called ‘Norm Smith Curse’.

Yet for all the jokes about Melbourne supporters being an affluent bunch who enjoy trips to the snow and dining out on cheese platters while watching

the game, all wearing the red and blue will be wanting to make sure they are the ones having the last laugh come Saturday night.

Demon diehard Max Duncan, who has been supporting Melbourne for more than 60 years, said it was an incredible feeling knowing the team was just one win away from history.

“It’s good to see them up there, very excited, tremendous effort to get there, they’ve stuck to their guns and been terrific,” he said.

“It will be a good game.

“There will be messages (between mates) going out left, right and centre.”

Sporting a Melbourne tattoo on his right arm, Duncan’s allegiance is clear, while the red and blue runs deep in the family tree as former Melbourne coach John Northey is a second cousin.

Duncan can’t remember the 1964 premiership, but can remember the first game he watched was between Melbourne and Geelong, as well as the great Demons of that era in Ron Barassi and Hassa Mann.

Of current players, he enjoys watching midfielder Clayton Oliver, and the man he shares a first name with in Melbourne captain Max Gawn.

Granddaughter Lara lists Gawn as her favourite

player, and has the number 11 emblazoned on her back, while 10-year-old Blake enjoys excitement machine Kozzy Pickett and 13-year-old Liam rates Jack Viney highly.

As the senior Duncan explained, barracking for Melbourne was virtually a way of life in the family.

“All my kids barrack for Melbourne, daughterin-law is Melbourne now, otherwise they are out, 11 grandkids, eight of them are all one-eyed Melbourne,” he said.

The veteran supporter was quick to respond when asked if there had ever been the temptation to change clubs.

“Never ever, I’ll stick to one,” he said.

“I get pretty disappointed at times but I don’t jump on the bandwagon and jump back off.”

For Duncan and the countless other Melbourne fans who have remained loyal over the decades and stood by the team through more bad times than good, the sentimental thoughts of most neutral supporters will be with them during everything that happens on grand final day.

Tears are likely for Melbourne supporters regardless of the result, but for their sake, most will be hoping they are tears of joy.

Gippsland FC calls for coaches SOCCER

GIPPSLAND Football Club is currently looking to expand its coaching team for season 2022 for its talented player program.

Numerous coaching positions are currently available for coaches who have a passion for junior/ youth development.

Gippsland Football Club is eager to branch out its existing coaching team of 12 coaches to a team of around 24 across various teams and development programs.

Available positions include head coaching positions as well as support coaches for either less experienced coaches or possibly experienced coaches that may not be in a position to fully commit to the time demands of a head coaching position.

The club is looking for experienced coaches to lead the National Premier League Boys Under-14, Under-15, Under-16 and Under-18 squads.

A Football Federation Australia C-Licence qualification is required for these roles (or a willingness to work towards one).

The club offers development programs for under 10 and 12 players across Gippsland (boys and girls) and are looking for new and experienced coaches to lead programs in South, Central, West and East Gippsland.

The club is also looking to offer Girls Development Programs in each Gippsland region for girls aged 13 to 16.

Gippsland Football Club would like experienced and new coaches to lead these programs.

In particular the club is looking to expand its female coaching team.

All coaches will be fully supported by a large

Ultimate bragging rights: Brothers Liam and Caleb Michie won’t be seeing eye-toeye for the AFL grand final. photograph supplied

FOOTBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

THERE can only be one winner in the Michie household on AFL grand final day.

Newborough brothers Caleb and Liam Michie will be putting the niceties aside as Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs do battle, with Caleb’s Demons up against Liam’s Bulldogs.

The brothers had been eyeing off a potential Melbourne-Western Bulldogs grand final for some weeks, but never thought it would actually happen.

Younger brother Caleb will have the weight of numbers on his side, as every other member of the family barracks for Melbourne, which begs the question why Liam goes for the Western Bulldogs?

“When I was a kid my dad (Brad Michie) played for Newborough and foolishly I thought that he played for the Western Bulldogs and since then I’ve been converted,” he explained.

“Dad has always reminded me in the hospital room there was a Demons teddy and they were playing the Melbourne song … safe to say it hasn’t panned out how he thought.”

Liam admitted to feeling like the black sheep of the family, but having already seen his team win a premiership in 2016, said he was prepared for the week ahead.

“I’m excited at the prospect of another one,” he said.

“It was very emotional getting the first one, admittedly I’m only 22 so I can’t say I’ve waited like most Bulldogs fans but it will still be a very emotional build-up.

“It feels different to 2016. I feel like 2016 was ‘why can’t we?’ and now it’s ‘there’s no reason we shouldn’t win’.

The Bulldogs fan said he was still tossing up whether to watch the grand final alongside his brother.

“If we do I’m sure someone is going to come off second best,” he said.

“It’s probably going to be a tense couple of months afterwards depending on the result.”

Caleb wasn’t even born the last time Melbourne played in a grand final, and like a lot of Demons, has lived through some dark times.

“It’s been absolutely traumatic,” he said.

“I still remember the day we lost by 186 (points) to Geelong, I watched it on TV and was asking dad ‘why are we this bad?’.”

With his team now in the decider, Caleb was cautiously optimistic about what was on the horizon.

“I’m still feeling a bit on edge about it, I couldn’t sit in my seat during the prelim,” he said.

“I couldn’t believe how well we played (in the prelim), just the way we moved the ball and our ruckman carried our team to a grand final, it was just great to see.

“I think 2018 (preliminary final appearance) was a false dawn. We were too early to make it, the next year we were a shambles, but this year we deserve to make it.

“I think our coaching staff have been the reason for the turnaround. We got Choco (Mark) Williams and Darren Burgess as our fitness coach and that really got us going.

Having Choco there after his experience as a premiership coach has been really good.”

With a 57-year drought hanging over their heads, Caleb will be one of thousands of Melbourne supporters desperate to see the Demons break through.

Membrey third in Saints B&F FOOTBALL

Minor premier: Yinnar will be acknowledged for finishing the Mid Gippsland season on top in A Grade netball, but won’t be getting a cup.

Season is abandoned THE last domino in Gippsland football and netball fell last week, with the Gippsland League officially calling time on the 2021 season.

The league and member clubs had set Thursday, September 16 as D-Day for the state government to make an announcement regarding a feasible return-to-play to allow a finals series.

With no announcement forthcoming, the Gippsland League made the move to abandon its 2021 season for senior and junior grades.

The league surveyed member clubs prior to a meeting on Thursday, September 9 and from the eight clubs to complete the survey the majority, as has been indicated throughout the 2021 season, wanted to keep the senior and junior competitions aligned in the decision making.

Under the leagues recommendation, if the finals series was to be abandoned, the team at the top of the ladder would be classed as minor premiers for the 2021 season.

As teams were being classed as minor premiers for 2021 there would be no medals, cups or premiership flags awarded.

The league gave clubs the opportunity to give feedback on this recommendation and seven clubs were in favour of awarding minor premierships (one club requested to award full premierships with medals, cups and flags) and three clubs requested that the seasons be classed as abandoned.

Leongatha won the minor premiership in senior football, while Moe did likewise in A Grade netball.

THE Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League also called off the remainder of its season in senior grades.

The MGFNL made the recommendation at a meeting with clubs on Monday night (September 13). The recommendation was carried by a majority vote of clubs.

However, clubs also agreed to pursue all reasonable options to allow junior football and netball to return in some capacity provided a finals series can be completed by October 2.

The MGFNL works on a delegates system, meaning member clubs vote on matters, as opposed to a board structure where elected officials make decisions.

Hill End finished the season on top of the ladder in senior football. Yinnar did not drop a game in A Grade netball.

All MGFNL minor premiers teams will be acknowledged, but no cups awarded.

The MGFNL last night cancelled plans to stage any junior football due to the state roadmap indicating they would not be able to return to play until the end of October.

THE Central Gippsland Junior Football League made the decision to playing a grand final in order to complete the 2021 season before the state’s roadmap was announced.

The league had previously hoped to play a round of semi-finals last Friday, followed by a grand final two days later, but made the adjustment after it became clear a return to play for the weekend on September 18 was highly unlikely.

In the wash-up, it means that the season is

over for Moe and Morwell (Youth Girls) Yinnar and Mirboo North (Under-15s), Moe and Hill End (Under-13s) and Newborough and Hill End (Under-11s).

If restrictions are eased, the absolute last chance to play a grand final will be the weekend starting October 2.

While a verdict was not known at time of press, it appears the CGJFL season is now gone for all money.

If the league decides to push ahead, the grand final match-ups would be: Newborough versus Churchill (Youth Girls), Moe/Newborough versus Hill End (Under-15s), Mirboo North versus Newborough (Under-13s) and Mirboo North versus Trafalgar (Under-11s).

“It gives our remaining participants some clarity and although it won’t please everyone we are very keen to try and salvage something of the year if we can,” the league said in a statement.

THE Traralgon and District Junior Football League has already cancelled its season.

The TDJFL made the call on September 12 citing the “ongoing COVID-19 situation and the current restrictions which are in place until September 23”.

“The league, in consultation with the member clubs, has made the extremely difficult decision to abandon the remainder of the 2021 season,” it said in a statement.

“Whilst this is extremely disappointing, the league would like to extend a big thank you to all the club presidents and committee for helping steer the TDJFL through a tough 2021 season.”

TRARALGON export Tim Membrey finished third in the St Kilda club best and fairest.

The key forward polled 136 votes to finish only behind Jack Sinclair (155) and runaway winner Jack Steele (234).

Membrey, 27, enjoyed a fine season for St Kilda, playing 21 games and kicking 34 goals as the Saints finished in 10th place with a 10-12 win-loss record, one win outside of the top eight.

He averaged 14.86 possessions and 7.19 marks per game in 2021.

Captain Steele became one of 29 Saints to win multiple Trevor Barker Awards, joining the likes of Tony Lockett, Nicky Winmar and Ian Stewart.

Steele averaged a career-best 29 touches per game in season 2021.
