Fallen: A tree ripped from its roots during the storm in Morwell. photograph liam durkin

THURSDAY night’s freak storm which lashed the Latrobe Valley was as intense as it was brief.

What had been a warm, sunny day was overtaken by dark storm clouds, heavy rain, dust and huge gusts of wind about 6.30pm.

However, it was all over half an hour later.

At its peak, wind gusts of 96km/h were recorded at Latrobe Regional Airport as 10 millimetres of rain fell in the space of 12 minutes.

The temperature plummeted six degrees from 22.5 degrees to 16.5 degrees as the storm brought a cool change.

Morwell’s State Emergency Service (SES) proved the busiest unit throughout the Gippsland region, with 82 requests for assistance in the 24 hours up to 11am on Friday.

Moe received 36 requests and Warragul 28.

Throughout Gippsland a total of 157 requests for assistance were recorded, 124 of which were for fallen trees and 23 with building damage.

Thousands of properties lost power, in areas including Moe, Newborough, Morwell, Churchill, Boolarra, Budgeree, Hazelwood North, Willow Grove, Trafalgar, Thorpdale, Tanjil South and Yallourn North affected by unplanned outages according to AusNet Services.

Images of trees ripped out from their roots, buildings with missing roofs and a mini tornado which formed in Traralgon did the rounds on social media as residents shared photographs as well as anecdotes.

Delays were reported by motorists, with roads blocked by fallen trees and other debris from damaged buildings.

The clean-up efforts began on Friday and will continue this week.  MORE PHOTOS – PAGE 8

THREE people will stand trial for the alleged murder of Newborough man Jarrad Lovison.

Andrew Price, 48, was ordered on Friday by magistrate Andrew Capell to stand trial for murder following the end of a lengthy committal hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

Health issues with witness Patrick Alan saw the committal extended into a third week.

Magistrate Capell earlier in the hearing, committed Jake Brown, 30, and Samantha Guillerme, 25, to stand trial.

Mr Lovison’s body was found in bushland at Moondarra State Park, about 27km north of Moe on May 23, 2020, one month after he disappeared.

Mr Brown and Ms Guillerme each pleaded not guilty to murder, with Mr Price yet to enter a plea.

Ms Guillerme also entered a not guilty plea to manslaughter.

Mr Price’s bail application was heard on Friday afternoon with Magistrate Capell reserving his judgement until today.

A directions hearing for Mr Brown and Ms Guillerme is set to be held at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, December 8.

History: The original timber Traralgon Methodist Church served as a Sunday school when a newer brick church was built beside it. It was later moved towards the back of the block to make way for a new hall before being relocated next to the train station. photograph supplied

Bid to save historic building “nothing had been progressed” beyond council’s initial decision and there was “no immediacy to stop anything from happening”.

It comes as new information had revealed that the building had been overlooked for a heritage assessment in 2004, despite being listed as a potentially significant building.

Regional historian Linda Barraclough read documents from a heritage consultant that stated the building was overlooked in a Latrobe City heritage study about 15 years ago.

Ms Barraclough said the building was only one of five pre-1880 timer churches left in Gippsland, making it what she described as a “rare bird’.

The 1879 former Methodist Church building had been moved toward the back of its original site in 1955 to make way for a large brick hall.

It was later moved again to the Traralgon train station where it became the Latrobe Visitor Information Centre.

LATROBE City councillors will consider holding back demolishing the pre-1880 visitor information centre building in Traralgon in a motion to be raised at tonight’s ordinary December council meeting.

The motion to be raised by Cr Dan Clancey will call for further community consultation to be carried out before councillors reconsider the fate of the 150-year-old former Methodist church.

A community steering committee was formed to look at alternative options for the building, after a meeting with about 50 people was held in Traralgon on Tuesday night.

Meeting attendee, Latrobe City Mayor Cr Kellie O’Callaghan said councillors would consider the community’s feedback from the meeting to help inform the notice of motion.

Cr O’Callaghan assured the meeting that

However, Ms Barraclough said the consultant was unaware the original timber church had been moved and did not carry out an assessment, despite earlier documents earmarking it as significant.

Latrobe City had agreed to demolish the building last month, but salvage significant items including timber doorframes and panelling.

The building sits on state government-owned land which is at the end of its lease, but it needs to be removed to turn the area into an open forecourt as part of a major station upgrade.

Relocation would cost ratepayers more than $670,000, whereas and demolition and salvaging items would cost $80,000.

The building could not be relocated without significant repairs, which included new bracing, panelling, internal framing, floorboards and frames, and demolishing a storage room, making it lean.

Simply the zest

By MICHELLE SLATER

Unusual: Mr Demicoli holding his unique banana shaped lemon.

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A LOCAL man’s find in his lemon tree was simply the zest.

When Newborough man, John Demicoli went into his garden recently, he did not expect to find something so unusual.

While tending to his lemon tree, he noticed something strange, amongst all the regular lemons in the large tree, hung a tiny banana shaped lemon.

While a banana shape lemon is not the most appealing thing to eat, Mr Demicoli couldn’t wait to share his side-splitting find with everyone else.

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

“I was cutting my lemons and then I spotted this awkward looking thing ... I said ‘it can’t be’ - and it was.”

He quickly plucked the fruit off the tree so he could show others his sweet find.

Mr Demicoli said he had never seen a lemon on his tree like this one besides a few slightly odd shaped ones here and there, including a round spiky looking one that was produced not too long ago.

His friends and family were also surprised by the fruit’s strange appearance and also thought the finding was sublime.

“I showed my wife, and a friend and they all said ‘what is it’, and when I said it was a lemon they couldn’t believe it,” he explained.

Mr Demicoli has an extensive garden at his property, and grows a number of fruits and vegetables, however his large lemon tree is one of the most impressive.

It has produced so many lemons this year that Mr Demicoli can hardly keep up.

Hundreds of lemons currently fill its branches, yet Mr Demicoli is not sour about it - the lemon tree represents the time and care he has put in to make his garden fruitful.

MP: Back native timber industry

By PHILIP HOPKINS

THE future of Opal Australian Paper is seriously under threat unless the state government stops green activists from destroying Gippsland’s native forest industry, according to Narracan MP Gary Blackwood.

Mr Blackwood, who is the Opposition spokesman on forestry, said the native forest industry must be protected from the activists’ vexatious litigation.

“Opal Australian Paper are really at risk in terms of their supply of fibre so that they can continue making paper,” he said in a major statement to State Parliament last week.

“But also at risk are their proposed plans for a waste-to-energy plant. If they cannot get fibre to keep producing paper, why would they invest in a waste-to-energy plant that would supply their own power needs plus feed back into the grid and give us somewhere to get rid of our waste?”

Mr Blackwood said Opal Australian Paper also had plans to build a barramundi farm in the settlement ponds attached to their establishment.

“They also have further plans for a lignin plant.

Now, a lignin plant is a plant that uses the black liquor that is a by-product of producing paper.

They can turn that black liquor into biodegradable plastics,” he said.

“At the back end of every paper mill in Canada and America is a black liquor plant that produces biodegradable plastics. All of that is at risk unless the government acts now.”

Mr Blackwood said this investment would also provide ongoing opportunities for the workers from Yallourn when it closed in 2028.

“Those opportunities will be taken away as well,” he said.

The contracting force could be lost that harvests the forests and produces the sawlogs and residual wood that go to Australian Paper, local sawmills and pallet manufacturers.

“If we lose those contracts, we lose a massive firefighting force, a firefighting force of people who are experienced in the industry,” he said.

“They know the terrain, they know the machinery they operate, they support our firefighters, both volunteer and career firefighters, and they support Forest Fire Management Victoria. They play an integral part in keeping our communities safe.

They will be gone forever.”

Mr Blackwood said the forest workers were resilient, surviving after having been to hell and back over the past 10 or 15 years.

“I know they can survive whatever the future brings them. But is it fair? Is it fair for them to go through the stress of not knowing what is going to happen?” he said.

Only six per cent of native forest was available for sustainable timber production, but the vexatious litigation continued.

“VicForests has defended every court case with factual evidence about their forest management practices that are held in high regard. VicForests have won outright or on appeal every case they have had to answer and defend,” he said.

“However, the time taken by the court process has severely impacted on their ability to maintain supply to their customers. The feral greens know this and deliberately apply for court injunctions to undermine the timber release plan.

“Victoria is already battling with a massive shortage of timber products, and homeowners are being slugged with massive price increases because of the enormous demand and dwindling supply.”

Mr Blackwood said a big factor was the impact of the recent bushfires on softwood plantations, leaving a gap in supply for construction material for at least 10 years.

“However, the alternative, to switch to hardwood, is being undermined by the supply constraints imposed by green federal court action,” he said.

Mr Blackwood said the government’s promise to wind the industry back gradually from 2024 was fast disappearing.

“That promise is hollow now unless this government acts to stop feral activists from taking out court injunctions to stop harvesting,” he said.

In recent days, anti-logging activists had provided daily information to the media that was not based on science or fact.

“They are desperate to bring this industry to its knees before next year’s election,” he said.

“The Andrews government should pull the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change (Lily D’Ambrosio) into line and support the Minister for Agriculture (Mary-Anne Thomas) to do “what I know she wants to do and protect our industry”.

“I do not agree with the closure of it in 2030, but at least keep it going until 2030 as promised and then we can deal with things from then on.”

Mr Blackwood said the CFMEU manufacturing division, had urged government support for the industry.

A MELBOURNE-based company has secured a site to build a net zero hydrogen refinery at Yallourn to create low emissions hydrogen and agricultural char from lignite.

Environmental Clean Technologies has purchased four hectares on Yallourn Drive on the site of the former Powerhouse Hotel, which would be converted into offices, laboratories and training areas.

The $230 million plant would be the largest agricultural char producer in the southern hemisphere, and once built would go straight to full commercialisation.

The company has also entered into a five-year agreement with EnergyAustralia to supply coal to the project.

ECT managing director Glenn Fozard said the process would produce high value, net zero products from lignite, without the need for carbon capture and storage.

“This could be the next Sir John Monash moment for Victoria. We are convinced we can re-monetise lignite. We have an abundant source of this valuable chemistry sitting in our backyard,” Mr Fozard said.

“If we want to make the Latrobe Valley the Silicon Valley of hydrogen, then we have to take advantage of this and extract it without emissions.”

ECT had begun pre-feasibility studies in 2017 and had been operating a demonstration plant with success in Bacchus Marsh.

Mr Fozard said they were aiming to secure coal beyond the closure of Yallourn, and did not rule out approaching the other mine operators into the future.

“We are demonstrating to the government that we need access to feed the future uses of lignite. We want this plant to get much bigger,” he said.

Mr Fozard said ECT had been working with a range of partners including Federation University and Carbon Innovation Australia, with training partners to help transition worker skills.

The plant would take about three years to build and would provide 50 ongoing operational jobs, with 300 construction jobs and an additional 500 maintenance and transport jobs.

The company was aiming to start preliminary site work from early next year and would start construction pending regulatory approvals.

The site had already gained planning approvals for a lignite de-watering and briquette factory in 2013, but the project did not go ahead.

Look at that: Landholders Waffa and Carlos Eid were concerned about a massive sinkhole on the Boolarra-Mirboo North Road that appeared after the June storms.

Latrobe City ended up sending machinery to the site to begin preliminary excavation to investigate the extent of the damage.

A council report stressed that steep terrain,

complexity of the landslips, and limited road widths mean remediation is complicated and highly specialised.

Council expects it would take about 12 to 18 months to remediate most sites on its list.

DANGEROUS landslides and sinkholes from the devastating June storms continue to impact local road access and safety around the Strzelecki Ranges.

Latrobe City Council is in the midst of awarding $1.5 million in contracts to fix 69 landslips in the southern ranges.

Latrobe City has considered 49 of these landslips to be medium-to-high risk, with has caused lane closures and limited emergency access in some areas.

Latrobe City previously awarded $650,000 to fix landslips at Upper Middle Creek Road in Yinnar South, Budgeree, Summerfield Track, Jumbuk, Livingston Road, and Morwell River East Branch Road.

Most of the damage was made to road reserves and fences, but one landslip on Jeeralang Road was so catastrophic that it damaged a house and the road below it.

Landholders along the Boolarra-Mirboo-North Road in Boolarra feared cars could fall off the edge of the road and into an approximate three-metredeep sinkhole, made worse after heavy spring rain.

A set of temporary traffic lights was installed on either side of the sinkhole that had eaten away a chunk of the road, forcing it into a single lane on a sharp, blind bend.

Local resident Waffa Eid was calling for urgent safety improvements reporting that lights had been intermittently faulty, with both lights were red at the same time, or were flashing amber.

“We fear the whole road will collapse with more rain, a lot of water comes down from the hills, and now the hole is starting to go under the road,” Ms Eid said.

“I’m always worried we will find a car down that hole, but even before it collapses we need to make it safer. The safety guard keeps blowing over and we stop and put it back up.”

MsEidsaidshehadreportedtheconcernstoLatrobe City which stated it was not within its responsibility and pawned her off to Regional Roads Victoria.

“But they said they weren’t looking after that road and then pushed me back to council,” she said.

Valley initiative receives grant support from government

Place to call home: The former Hazelwood Power Station site will host Australia’s largest privately-funded and grid-connected battery.

Hazelwood site to host battery

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE former Hazelwood Power Station site will host Australia’s largest privately-funded and grid-connected battery.

The Hazelwood Battery Energy Storage System will provide 150 megawatt hours with the capacity to store the equivalent of an hour of energy from 30,000 home rooftop solar systems.

ENGIE has announced construction is underway, with the battery scheduled to be operational by November next year in time for peak summer demand, with network connection agreements already in place.

The project is being funded by ENGIE and Green Investment Group and will have a 20-year life span, to be built and operated by renewables company Fluence.

The storage system will connect to existing network infrastructure to support the transition to renewables at the former coal-fired power station.

The site has access to 1600 MW of dormant transmission capacity. The battery will allow the flexibility to quickly scale up storage capacity to respond to network and market demand, including additional capacity for future contracts.

ENGIE Australia New Zealand chief executive officer Augustin Honorat said the company’s commitment to Hazelwood and the Latrobe Valley began as a station operator.

“Then, as an investor in a multi-million-dollar rehabilitation project, and now as the builder and owner of a new energy asset that helps with the decarbonisation of the energy system,” Mr Honorat said.

The news was welcomed by Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester who stated the project would put the region at the “forefront” of renewable energy innovation.

Mr Chester said it would support long-term transition to more renewables and ensure local jobs and use the skill sets of local workers.

“Australians want access to reliable and affordable energy, and they also expect our country to do its share of the work required to reduce global emissions,” Mr Chester said.

“Projects like this ensure that as we transition we have the resources and infrastructure in place to meet the demands and high consumption peaks throughout the year.”

Voices of the Valley convenor Wendy Farmer also backed the project, after the group had been advocating for batteries and renewables to be built in the Valley.

Ms Farmer said now was the time to unveil other local renewables project such as solar and wind to complement the battery system.

“The future has been clear for a long time about coal, and companies have already said they will close coal plants early,” Ms Farmer said.

“We need a just transition and this announcement looks like the Valley is not being left behind.”

A LATROBE Valley organisation to support multicultural women is one of 50 community organisations in Victoria to share in $1.7 million to create tailored coronavirus-related messages.

The state government has allocate $28,500 to the United Muslim Sisters of Latrobe Valley to provide training and mentoring programs for the group to create video and audio content.

The information will help to ensure multicultural communities have access to tailored information to help them get vaccinated and stay safe during the pandemic.

The program will also fund training opportunities in new and emerging communities to build a skills base that will support the ongoing distribution of important public health messages.

“It’s important our diverse multicultural communities can access information that addresses their needs and will support them to get vaccinated and stay safe,” Multicultural Affairs Minister Ros Spence said.

“This is about ensuring no-one is left behind as we pass 90 per cent of the population fully vaccinated.”

Voluntary redundancies on menu at AGL

By MICHELLE SLATER

AGL is offering a round of voluntary redundancies at coal and gas plants including Loy Yang A in an attempt to cost cut as the company faces challenges in the marketplace.

The company is in the midst of taking expressions of interest from workers covered under enterprise agreements at its Loy Yang, Torrens Island and Bayswater plants.

AGL stated the decision was necessary to “address the fundamental shift in the market and operating conditions and the resulting financial challenge facing AGL”.

“We are also working hard to identify other areas of cost saving across our business,” the company said in a statement.

“Earnings pressures are increasing during this period of challenging market and operating conditions.”

It comes as the company had reported a $2 billion

loss for the 2021-22 financial year. Any offers of redundancy following the expression of interest including the departure date of the employee - will be at the discretion of the company.

AGL stated it needed to retain the “right skills, capabilities and resources” to meet the “challenges we face”.

CFMMEU Victorian mining division secretary Geoff Dyke believed the voluntary redundancies could mean the loss of about 40 workers at Loy Yang A - although the company would not officially confirm the numbers.

Mr Dyke said he feared AGL could be forcing redundancies if it did not get enough volunteers, or would not be replacing workers who left or retired into the future. He said the union would also be making sure any cuts would not impact site safety or plant reliability.

“At this stage, no one is being forcibly made redundant, but it still reduces the amount of job opportunities in the Latrobe Valley,” Mr Dyke said.

“We hope there is some common sense in how they manage this cost reduction and we will be looking out for safety and that workers are not being overloaded.”

AGL had stressed that “safety continues to be our key priority”.

“To succeed and be sustainable now and in the future, we must remain safe, well managed, operate as efficiently as possible, and continually improve and adapt,” the company statement said.

Environment Victoria chief executive officer Jono La Nauze said the move highlighted the need for further Latrobe Valley Authority funding to plan for the economic change already happening in the Valley.

“Workers and community groups have been calling for a clear strategy, clear timelines, and certainty around closure dates that allows people to plan their lives. The official closure date of 2047 is a complete fantasy and AGL needs to be honest about when it will really close,” he said.

County tyy Court rtt Chief Judge Peter Kidd discusses the return of jury ryy trials

So many trials have been run online, how has this impacted the County Court? Has it been difficult to navigate?

IT HAS been challenging. Obviously, we went from a court which was run normally – with the vast majority of hearings being in person, and then in March last year that had to change, and change dramatically.

As a consequence of that, we shifted to conducting a lot of our hearings online.

We have three jurisdictions at the County Court.

Each of the jurisdictions is slightly different, we’ve got jury trials which are Criminal trials and we also have some jury trials in Common Law. What happened when we had to shift to online, is that jury trials had to be suspended.

But all our non-jury work in Common Law, Commercial Law, and in crime … we basically conducted online and we were able to keep up with all of those lists in each of those jurisdictions- jury trials being the exception.

What about for families, offenders, and victims, how has the move to online trials impacted them?

FROM our perspective, where we are conducting the hearings online, like anything online it’s not as good or as perfect as an in-person exchange. There’s a reason why courts have always operated in person, because it’s easier.

Communication flows more freely and people are generally more engaged.

While we don’t speak to these people, I think we can be confident that some offenders and some victims would have a preference to do things in person.

But can we get justice done remotely, when we need to?

We can.

What we do know is this, with the pandemic and the use of technology, that’s enabled people to participate in court hearings much more conveniently in certain situations, for example when people live far away from the nearest courthouse.

So, what the digital space is offering is participation and attendance for a section of our community in a much more convenient way than in-person attendance.

In an environment when we’re very conscious of family violence and tensions between families in court cases, it also provides an opportunity for safe participation for a number of people that would prefer to remain at a distance and follow a proceeding remotely.

How has COVID-19 impacted the three different divisions of the County Court, Criminal, Commercial and Common Law? Has it been a different experience for each area?

I THINK it largely depends upon whether the division is a jury division.

So let’s take Common Law. They do some jury work and some non-jury work, but the law has always allowed for their jury cases to be converted into a judge alone case.

Throughout the pandemic, all of the cases which might

You mention in your annual report that COVID-19 has resulted in a number of upgrades in courtroom technology and physical layout, could you tell me about this and how these upgrades will impact proceedings moving forward?

IN ORDER to get jury trials up and running during the pandemic - because there have been times when we haven’t been in a full lockdown where we have run jury trials– we have run our trials in a socially distanced environment.

So, what we did in terms of the layout was to convert a number of our rooms to make them suitable for social distancing. We increased the size of the jury boxes, we paired each courtroom with another bigger room for the deliberation of jurors, so that they had a good sized deliberation room – more often than not that was just another courtroom. And of course, the seats and chairs within the room were moved.

Technology is a journey, and there’s never an end … one of the things we’ve been focusing on in the County Court is ensuring that our video and audio-visual facilities in the court rooms are high grade digital facilities so that they can facilitate the most reliable and most effective way of bringing people appearing remotely into the court room. As we know, if someone is on the screen, and it’s a clear screen, its high resolution and the sound quality is good, and it’s reliable and predictable, then someone can meaningfully participate in a court hearing. Of course, if that all starts to break down it becomes problematic.

Remote participation is not new, the pandemic didn’t cause us to go down the path of remote participation, we were already doing that. But it’s obviously accelerated that to a very large extent. We have almost completed our upgrades in our courtrooms to high resolution digital audio-visual technology. In the future, this will just give us the options or the opportunities to allow people to meaningfully participate in hearings remotely when it’s appropriate.

Many trials have been conducted as judge alone trials, does this have the potential to have an impact on the outcome?

THEY conduct the trial on the same evidence as it goes before a jury, it’s just that the judge is the ultimate decider in place of the jury. The same law applies, whether it’s a trial before a judge or before a jury. If it’s a jury, the judge would direct the jury as to the relevant law that applies and how the relevant law applies to the facts, and the judge would give the jury some assistance as to the evidential matters that they would have to consider in resolving the facts in issue.

With a judge alone trial the judge is giving himself, or herself, those same directions. So, in fact the trial record in many respects is identical, and the manner in which the trial is ultimately conducted having regard to the laws of procedure, laws of evidence, and the facts, or the evidence in the case in light of all the arguments put by counsel is the same. It’s just you’ve got the judge deciding the decision rather than the jury.

If you look at the statistics throughout the country where the two systems have been in place for a period of time - such as NSW -the broad statistics are pretty similar in terms of the outcomes, whether it’s judge alone or jury.

BAIL is always decided upon having regard to a variety of issues, or a number of relevant factors. Delay can be a factor, so if the delay is going to be longer, then that’s a matter that the judge will consider when determining whether or not to grant bail.

But its only one factor, even if the delay is significant.

Ultimately, if the person charged with the offence is an unacceptable risk to the community, that is an unacceptable risk for committing further offending, or an unacceptable risk of interfering with witnesses, then they’re not going to get bail even if the delay is significant.

Because there’s a backlog of cases, we’ve got more cases on our books, so there will probably be more people out on bail. And there may be some cases where the delay, the significant nature of the delay, has tipped the balance in favour of granting bail. But each case depends upon its own facts, and as I said, if there’s an unacceptable risk that the offender poses to the community they’re not going to get bail.

Does this pose any significant danger to the community, specifically for areas with high crime rates like the Latrobe Valley?

EACH case depends upon its own facts. If a person charged with a serious criminal offence represents a significant risk, then they’re not going to get bail. And that would be the case whether it’s the Latrobe Valley or Melbourne.

When people are charged with criminal offences, they’re not then convicted of those offences – they are presumed innocent until they have their trial … that’s why people get bail, because they’re not convicted criminals at that time.

Judges obviously have to apply the law that’s put before us, which parliament passes, with respect to bail. But is there a risk that people may re-offend on bail? Of course there’s a risk. But that’s part of the justice system, we are always balancing different factors. Risk is one of them. But there comes a point where there might be one case where the offender has demonstrated that the risk very small for them, and all other factors when they’re taken into account justifies that person getting bail.

With the return of juries, how will the court procced to move through the back-log?

WE’VE just re-commenced juries in here at Morwell. In fact, we’ve recommenced statewide. We will get a cohort of jury trials done before Christmas, and then next year, all things going well and provided that there are no changes to the restrictions, we will be conducting jury trials statewide – back to our full capacity.

Indeed, we will be going beyond our normal capacity. We were able to do that for two reasons with jury trials.

The government has provided the Court with some advanced judicial replacements. So, where judges are due to retire in the next few years, the government has provided funding to allow us to replace some of those judges in advance, so we are getting additional judges for a period.

We have also engaged further reserve judges. A reserve judge is a judge who is retired but comes back part time.

So we have more judicial officers available, at least for the forthcoming period to tackle jury trials.

So, my expectation is that next year we will be in the position to, hopefully, do more jury trials then we’ve ever done before as we move through the course of the year. Of course I say hopefully, because I don’t control the health situation, or the nature of the restrictions that are put in place.

With the Latrobe Valley, we’ve got two judges who will be

Have trials with juries having not being able to go ahead increased the number of people out on bail?

M A T T E D L T

DELAYS always have some kind of negative impact.

Whether it’s an accused person who is awaiting his or her trial, it’s stressful, or a complainant in a case, everyone wants – quite naturally – justice as quickly as possible.

Likewise, family members, are the same, being involved in a court case is a stressful experience.

The sooner we can bring cases to a resolution, the better for everybody.

In terms of the quality of the evidence and the outcome, of course, the law has a long experience in dealing with questions of delay. We’ve always had cases which involve some kind of historical events, there’s nothing new about that. Not all cases involve events which were committed last year, for example – and that was so before the pandemic.

If there is a significant delay in a case, then that’s something that jurors are given directions about by the judge. They are told about the possible impacts that that may have had on that particular case … much depends upon the facts and circumstances of the individual case.

It seems in the past year the County Court has taken particular interest in working to identify causes of offending and rehabilitating offenders through the Court Integrated Services Program and the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Court. Can you tell me a bit about how these approaches may have an impact on Victoria’s future?

THIS is what we call Therapeutic Justice. We know from our experience, the experience of our court, it’s the experience of the law in fact, that a very significant cohort of offenders come to court with great social disadvantage.

Alcohol and drug addiction challenges and problems, mental health difficulties and accommodation problems – there’s no continuity or steady accommodation for those offenders who come before us, and significant relationship challenges.

If the law can do something to promote their rehabilitation and reform, that obviously reduces their prospect of re-offending, which means the community is safer.

With the end of the County Courts 2017-2022 roadmap coming next year, what are the courts goals for 2022?

WE WROTE that roadmap before the pandemic, so everything has changed.

Next year, I think the priority is to re-establish the Court’s business as usual approach to work. It sounds a humble goal. But in the context of what’s taken place over the last two years, if someone could say to me right now that we wouldn’t have any interruptions over the next year and we’ll work to our full capacity, then that’s not just my immediate goal – that’s almost my sole goal for next year.

Allied to that, one of the shorter term objectives is that we want to address what we retain from the pandemic, with respect to the use of technology and remote participation in hearings. There’s no doubt that some aspects of what’s occurred during the pandemic have been positive.

VICTORIA’S County Court Chief Judge Peter Kidd (pictured) has welcomed the return of jury trials in Morwell and across the state.

Throughout the pandemic, the legal system has faced many challenges, from navigating online proceedings to the suspension of jury trials.

As Victoria comes out of its most recent lockdown, Chief Judge Kidd takes a moment to reflect on the impact the pandemic has had on the County Court and discusses how they will proceed moving forward.

And as for Crime, we haven’t been able to do jury trials whilst we’ve been in lockdown, and as result there’s been a backlog, a significant backlog for jury trials.

ONE of Australia’s most popular retail discount store chains is heading to the Latrobe Valley.

Silly Solly’s will open a new store in Traralgon in February 2022.

Silly Solly’s spokesperson Solly Stanton said the company had been eyeing off the region for a lengthy period.

“Traralgon has been on our radar for over a year now and we waited for the right site to come along,” Mr Stanton told The Express.

That site is 72 Seymour Street.

The Traralgon store will become the 34th in the chain for the store which has the motto of selling nothing over $5.

The company has stores throughout Queensland

and NSW, and is expanding operations in Victoria, with Traralgon joining the likes of Box Hill and Craigieburn as locations.

“We have revolutionised the discount store industry by bringing consumers this exciting new shopping experience, led by an energetic management team,” Mr Stanton said.

“Silly Solly’s has excelled in a bricks and mortar retail environment of extreme uncertainty. We have built a trusted reputation amongst our customers. 10,000 products nothing over $5 under one roof, making shopping great again.

“With customers saving money and living better.

You cannot be all things to all people. We know our customers and give them what they want at the price they want to pay.”

ROSEDALE artist Steve Sparks has created a letterbox as commentary on climate change.

Mr Sparks is passionate about the environment, and does his best to recycle everything he can.

Both his workshop and home is an impressive display of his commitment to recusing all that he can.

Every element of his pieces of art and other items is completely recycled. Mr Sparks even does his best to recycle nails and screws whenever possible.

“There is no waste, just stuff in the wrong place,” Mr Sparks said.

The letterbox, which sits proudly out the front of his home, represents various elements and impacts of climate change.

At the top of the letter box sits a metal crow, which represents the harbinger of death.

The crow sits atop its nest, which is comprised of a gas cylinder representing fossil fuels.

The letterbox’s body is a water cylinder with two dry taps attached. This is a nod to water shortages.

On the front of the letter box is a grate depicting a grapevine, the grapevine symbolises the struggles of farmers.

Finally, the bottom represents the automotive industry and carbon emissions through a wheel rim.

Mr Sparks has been creating pieces from recycled materials for more than 30 years, however recycling is something he has been interested in his whole life.

He has lived in the area for about three years, and spends hours creating new items and artworks every day.

“When I was a child, my heroes were Steptoe and Son, I could not think of a better job than riding around on a horse and cart collecting all that wonderful paraphernalia,” he said.

Mr Sparks explained how he was such a fan of the television show that he even wrote to them at 11-years-old, trying to acquire their suit of armour.

“Of course, it was a prop and not for sale, but they were kind enough to write me a nice letter and also a signed photo, which I still have as a prized possession.”

After 55 years, he did finally purchase his own suit of armour, which he said he will never sell.

Climate: Steve Sparks with his letterbox.

As a young boy, on Saturdays, Mr Sparks would visit the local museums in the mornings, and in the afternoons he would go to ‘jumble sales’ which he said was full of great stuff in the 1950s/1960s in England.

“It was a great life for a kid,” he said.

Mr Sparks creates walking canes, shoe boxes, hat racks and so many other things in his work shop. His shed is full of pieces he has completed, and others that are in progress.

He explain that all his pieces are made out of quality material, so much of which he said other people throw away needlessly.

His letterbox artwork is one of his pieces intended as a conversation starter, provoking thought for those that view it.

Labor preselects Langley to run for seat of Gippsland

By MICHELLE SLATER

TRARALGON woman Jannette Langley has been officially pre-selected as the Labor candidate for Gippsland in next year’s federal election.

The former Centrelink employee and supermarket manager will be attempting to unseat Nationals stalwart Darren Chester, after she had a crack at standing for East Ward in last year’s Latrobe City Council elections.

Ms Langley said she was keen to get out into the electorate and hear from people, particularly after campaigning for local council in the hard lockdowns of 2020.

“This seat is a bit daunting as Darren Chester has held it for so long, but people in Gippsland are telling me they want a new ear to tell things to and a new voice from a united party,” Ms Langley told The Express.

Ms Langley said she would be campaigning on issues such as the environment, sustainable jobs, social and public housing and accessing the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

“I’ve had people contact me about the lack of NDIS services in Gippsland, this is something I want to talk to people about, not just individual but groups,” she said.

“Sustainable housing is also important as we have a lot of homeless people in Gippsland with some living in their cars, but this is not often recognised.”

Ms Langley was born in the Victorian Murray River town of Cohuna, but has lived in the Valley her whole life and has been heavily involved in local sporting club committees.

She was Traralgon Football Netball Club secretary and manager, former Traralgon Heights scout leader, Loy Yang tennis club junior committee

president and Traralgon Recreation Reserve committee member.

Ms Langley said she was the first female Cumberland Park junior footy club coach, which caught the attention of Richmond legend Tom Hafey.

“I was a bit of a ground breaker at the time, but I wasn’t thinking of it like that,” she said.

THE Boolarra Hotel has had to pull the plug out of live music and cease hosting campers and caravans due to noise complaints.

The pub had to axe its weekend gigs as well as its up and coming Christmas and New Year’s events, but it will remain trading and serving meals in the bistro.

A community member launched a change.org petition to go into bat for the community pub, which as of Friday had already garnered more than 160 signatures.

“This local little pub and its people have worked their butts off to bring it back from the brink of closure. It is looking amazing, making an epic comeback from COVID too,” the petition states.

“The music line-up is amazing and people come from all over to enjoy the bush hospitality. We can’t let a few who have nothing better to do, ruin it for a town who loves supporting each other.”

Publican Andrew Fraser said they were working closely with Latrobe City Council on the issue and were awaiting an acoustic engineer’s report before forging ahead with any more gigs.

“The Boolarra Hotel is an important part of the community and we will do whatever it takes to ensure it remains the cornerstone of free entertainment and camping within the district,” Mr Fraser said.

“It’s just the way it is and we will have to deal with it, we will roll with the punches.”

The pub had been planning to host the Boolarra Country Music Festival in early February with a swag on live and local bands, but Mr Fraser said this may still go ahead depending on permits.

The embattled pub had been facing a raft of challenges in the past few years, including imminent closure before being put into the hands of a team of local volunteers to keep it afloat.

The watering hole had been through different managers and kitchen managers before Mr Fraser took it over last year.

“We’ve contacted the bands and they understand.

This will impact our operations but we won’t know how yet until I sit down and work it out,” Mr Fraser said.

RADICAL vegan activists could be facing on-the-spot fines being introduced next year for trespassing on farms.

The state government introduced new legislation last week to address the impacts of trespass on farms and biosecurity risks that are being breached from animal activists.

Activists could face penalties “among the heaviest in Australia”, with on-thespot fines between $1200 and $10,900 for an individual, or between $8100 and $54,500 for an organisation.

Victorian farmers have been impacted by a series of events involving animal rights activists intimidating farmers, stealing livestock, and disrupting businesses.

Animal activists had been found guilty of stealing livestock from the Yarragon Gippy Goat, but got away with one dollar fines.

These new measures are part of the government’s response to the Inquiry into the Impact of Animal Rights which recommended issuing heftier on-the-spot penalties for farm invasions.

Minister for Agriculture Mary-Anne Thomas said farmers should be able to do their work without fear of being targeted by animal activists.

“Victorian farmers work hard to keep their animals safe and protect them from pests and diseases with robust biosecurity systems,” Ms Thomas said.

“This new legislation will deter behaviour that puts that hard work at risk.”

Victorian Farmers Federation president and Mirboo North farmer Emma Germano said these fines were

overdue and hoped this would mean the end of “token” one dollar fines.

“It’s time animal activists faced proper penalties for trespassing on people’s farms and homes,” Ms Germano said.

“We believe that this is in line with community expectations, trespass is not an appropriate form of protest.”

Farm Transparency Project executive director Chris Delforce said biosecurity was being used as an excuse to limit consumer awareness of the “systemic cruelty occurring in farms and slaughterhouses across the country”.

The group had launched a website which included hidden footage inside farms and animal industries, as well as listing the private addresses of farmers involved in animal production.

“Were these industries transparent and honest about what happens inside these facilities, there’d be no need for anyone to take it upon themselves to capture evidence of it,” Mr Delforce said.

“Undoubtedly, these laws will not deter people who already know that they’re risking their own lives and liberty in seeking to bring to the public’s attention the systemic mistreatment of animals.”

Nationals Leader Peter Walsh said he would be carefully combing through the wording to make sure the government hadn’t left loopholes to allow activists to escape penalty.

“But by finally introducing these laws on the very last day of Parliament for 2021, Labor’s made sure farmers will be forced to wait at least another six months before they actually get the protections,” Mr Walsh said.

HOROSCOPES

by Joanne Madeline Moore

December 6 - December 12, 2021 fellow fire sign Sagittarius, you’re in Ram freedom-bunny mode! On Wednesday, racy Mars and restless Jupiter rev up your adventurous, impatient side. So this week will work best if you experiment and explore, stretch well beyond your comfort zone, and fraternise with a stimulating crowd. But you could receive confusing information about a friend or a planned trip. So do some stringent fact-checking and try to be extra patient.

Taurus Dynamic Mars is transiting through

your relationship zone so a problem with a loved one should start to improve, as long as you are proactive about finding a solution. When it comes to your aspirations for the future, don’t just dream about them. You need a practical plan (and the cooperation of others) to turn them into robust reality. The weekend stars highlight intense conversations and creative communication, as you connect with family and friends from foreign shores.

GGemini Geminis can easily become confused and side-tracked by the busyness and minutiae of daily life. But the more you concentrate on the needs of others, the better the week will be. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto stimulating your relationship zones, you’re in a romantic and flirtatious frame of mind. So it’s the perfect time to pamper your partner with lashings of love and extra TLC. Are you sick and tired of being single? Sparks could fly with a lusty Leo or a sexy Sagittarian.

Cancer Attached Crabs – this week’s

Venus/Pluto conjunction is perfect for cementing your commitment to your partner, as you find extra romantic ways to show your affection.

Singles – give superficial suitors a wide berth.

Look for lasting love with a tender Taurus or a soulful Scorpio. And with the Sun and Mercury activating your wellbeing zone, don’t just talk about improving your fitness levels. It’s time to jump off the comfy couch and get physical in the great outddoors!!

Leo The focus is on friends, as the Sun and

Mercury move through your friendship zone.

But don’t let your peer group influence you too much. The planets encourage you to be your own person and do your own thing. So your motto for the moment is from this week’s birthday great, singer-songwriter Jim Morrison: “A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.” Creativity is high on the weekend, but don’t let your tendency to gossip come between you and others.

passion and a practical plan. So don’t waste the opportunity to get things done! The combination of energy and endurance is a winning double. But avoid being uncharacteristically rash with cash and credit (especially on Wednesday). And is it time to express your humanitarian side? Think of ways you can contribute your numerous Libran talents to a worthy cause within your local community.

Scorpio Pluto (your patron planet) starts

the week making beautiful music with Mars and ends the week linking up with vivacious Venus.

So your natural charm and magnetism are readily available, as you tap into your inner power and let your Scorpio light shine for the world to see! But are you experiencing financial problems? If you broaden your perspective and think outside the box, then Mercury and Jupiter will help you find a solution via a creative lightbulb moment.

Sagittarius g The Sun and Mercury

are moving through your sign this week, which activates your spontaneous Sagittarian side.

But avoid overcommitting and promising more than you can actually deliver. The weekend stars encourage you to tie up loose ends before you launch new ventures. The more energy and focus you put into current projects, the less confused you’ll feel. Make it a priority to communicate clearly, do your homework thoroughly and check all details as you proceed.

Capricorn Avoid being an over-critical

and over-committed Capricorn. You’ve got a lot on your plate but don’t struggle on alone. Family, friends and colleagues are happy to help – if you let them. When you pool your talents with like-minded souls, magical things happen! Venus and Pluto boost your charisma on the weekend, so make the most of it and call in a few old favours. If you combine a can-do attitude with a collaborative approach, then you’ll have a pleasant and productive week.

Aquarius q This week the Sun and Mercury

stim mulate your friendship and eccentricity zone; Venus, Mars and Pluto fire up your imagination; and Jupiter encourages you to express your authentic self. So it’s time to network within your peer group and extended social circle, as you get your quirky Aquarian ideas out into the world.

Be inspired by singer-songwriter Jim Morrison (who was born on December 8, 1943): “The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.”

Virgo g Home is where the heart is as the Sun and Mercury move through your domestic zone. So it’s a good time to communicate with family members in creative ways. Avoid sending mixed messages though (especially on Tuesday).

The Mercury/Jupiter link could send a lucky opportunity your way on the weekend. But you must recognise good fortune when it comes along (and be thoroughly prepared) or it will pass you by.

Unhappily single? Love and friendship are linked.

Pisces Artistic inspiration is high this week

help you power through projects with plenty of

Libra The Venus-Pluto conjunction will

but don’t waste too much time daydreaming. Do your best to turn creative ideas into a tangible form. Strive to be creative and compassionate (rather than chaotic and confusing). Jupiter and Saturn are both transiting through your spirituality zone so slow down, Pisces, pace yourself, and enjoy looking within. Solo activities – like yoga, meditation, quiet contemplation, drawing or journaling – are essential soul food for you at the moment.

LATE TRADING A SUCCESS IN LV

Stores generally in the Latrobe Valley found Friday night shopping was a success with one Traralgon businessman doubtful.

Yesterday, they reviewed the extended hours of shopping that had not been allowed for 31 years.

TICKLISH!

You can get into all sorts of ticklish, perhaps prickly, situations by just trying to help a defenceless animal across the road.

Rosalind Hodgson, stopped her car to help this porcupine across the road at the corner of Jane and Helen Streets this week.

She managed to get him into the car, but he then broke away and anchored himself under the clutch, preventing Rosalind from driving.

When she returned from shopping, she eventually did get him free.

DAYLIGHT SAVING HITS YACHTSMEN

The effects of daylight saving are being felt by yachtsmen competing in races at Hazelwood Pondage.

The ‘’4 o’clock blow’’ – a strong easterly wind, now comes in at 5pm, too late to benefit competitors.

However, they do have extra daylight to enjoy good sailing after the race.

FUN FACT: You could buy four pounds of apples at Purvis Stores’ for 32c.

PRIME TV DELAYS LV START

Equipment delays have forced Prime Television to postpone its broadcasts in the Latrobe Valley until March next year, two months behind other aggregating stations.

Prime TV, like Vic Television and the Southern Cross Network, was due to commence broadcasting in regional Victoria on January 1.

MORWELL SEEKS JAPANESE SISTER CITY

Morwell Council is planning a public meeting about a proposal to find a sister city in Japan.

In his report to this week’s council meeting, chief executive officer Ron Waters recommended that the mayor call a public meeting to form a community committee to investigate the proposal.

NEWBOROUGH WINS ‘TITANIC’ STRUGGLE

The Latrobe Valley A Pennant tennis clash between Morwell and Newborough Golds developed into a titanic struggle with only a couple of games separating the two sides.

Both sides were locked at five sets each, but Newborough were the winners however, after taking out 51 games to 47.

FUN FACT: Hertz were advertising hire cars from $45 a day.

DRIFFIELD TO COST LESS: SEC

Power production costs from the SEC’s proposed Driffield power station complex would cost about 15 per cent less than any comparable development in the Latrobe Valley.

SEC assistant general manager in charge of the Driffield project, Jack Johnson, said the Driffield proposal is assessed as having “capital cost advantages a Flynn development of at least $310 million, and over a Maryvale development of between $315 million without a diversion of the Morwell River and $470 million with a river diversion.”

Ladder program available to locals YOUTH development and mentoring organisation Ladder is urging locals who may be struggling to consider its program aimed at assisting Latrobe Valley residents.

The Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley program helps young people aged 16 to 25 to improve across four key domains: education, employment and training, health and wellbeing, independent living skills and community connection.

Throughout the eight-week intensive program, young people have the opportunity to participate in individual and group development sessions, group camps, community projects and work experiences.

Following the eight weeks, young people are provided with a further 12 months of one-to-one support from their Ladder Development Coach.

The Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley program has been operating in the Latrobe Valley since 2017 and is a trusted and respected service among young people, their families and the broader community.

Police officer’s prestigious award

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL Police Officer Jayde Van Gelderen brings compassion and strength to a challenging line of policing.

Currently in the role of Compliance Manager for registered sex offenders in the Latrobe Valley, she has been a member of the Sexual Offences Child Sexual Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) for four years.

In recognition of her work, she has been awarded the prestigious Glenn Patton Sexual Offence Practise Award.

The award is part of annual Victoria Family Violence Command Practitioner of the Year Awards, and is named after the late Senior Constable Glenn Patton.

It recognises the dedication, hard work and achievements of Victoria Police employees who have made significant contributions to the organisation’s response to family violence, sexual offences and child abuse.

She was nominated for the award by her manager Senior Sergeant Geoffrey Rumble, who has worked with Snr Const Van Gelderen for 12 months.

“It didn’t take me very long to realise that Jayde has some real special qualities,” Snr Sgt Rumble said.

“The work we do is all victim centric, it’s about taking care of the victims, taking care of complainants, and providing appropriate and proper support for them.

“What we deal with, and Jayde deals with every day ... has lifelong implications on the victims, it’s about the ongoing care and support, and that’s where Jayde steps up and really shines.”

Snr Sgt Rumble said Snr Const Van Gelderen has certain attributes that allow her to excel in her position.

“Jayde understands, and gets on well with our partner agencies, she understands what services they can provide and how to access their services ... she’s great at linking in her complainants with those services,” he said.

“You’ve got to get compassionate, you’ve got to be able to show empathy to our complainants and our victims... you’ve also got to have strength.”

Snr Sgt Rumble has been in the force for 33 years, and said he was “over the moon” about Snr Const Van Gelderen receiving recognition for her work.

Recognition: Senior Sergeant Geoffrey Rumble and Senior Constable Jayde Van Gelderen, holding the Glen Patton Sexual Offence Practice Award. photograph alyssa fritzlaff “I was incredibly proud of Jayde, and her being recognised for the work she’s done ... and so rapt for the work that our office does here in Morwell, and the work that we’re trying to do in this sex offence space in the community.

“It’s also a reflection of the work within Eastern Division Five as well and the work that the organisation is doing here.”

The idea to nominate Snr Const Van Gelderen came after she worked on a particularly challenging investigation.

“In particular Jayde did one really big investigation, this investigation involved an incredible amount of technical services and assistance from a forensic perspective,” Snr Sgt Rumble said.

Page 22 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 6 December, 2021

“Jayde had to organise and source these services for this particular investigation, which was extremely complex ... and the results that Jayde got from using those services was a big factor in eventually having a successful outcome in court for this particular person.”

Another notable achievement of Snr Const Van Gelderen’s is the production of a best practice document, which has been distributed to frontline police in the area to assist in promoting consistent responses when receiving information about sexual assault.

Snr Const Van Gelderen was also commended for her work within the community, primarily in education of school aged children.

“Social media is a big player in a lot of the work we do with kids,” Snr Sgt Rumble said.

Much of the work Snr Const Van Gelderen does outside of the office is focused on educating children around issues such as consent, grooming, social media and online bullying, and is in collaboration with the Gippsland Centre Against Sexual Assault.

She is passionate about her work in education, and said reporting sexual abuse is becoming less stigmatised, with recent developments such as them #MeToo movement.

“Reporting is becoming less frowned upon, and people are feeling more confident to come forward,” Snr Const Van Gelderen explained.

Joining the police force was always an ambition for Snr Const Van Gelderen, however she did not anticipate working in the SOCIT. “My grandfather, who has recently passed, was a member, so it’s sort of a family business,” she said.

Working in this line of policing was something that came about organically for Snr Const Van Gelderen.

“I just fell into it, I didn’t join the police force with the intention of going to the SOCIT or going to the CI, I just wanted to join,” she said.

“I got the opportunity to start at the SOCIT about four years ago and I loved it, it was completely different to what I thought it would be. I feel at that office you tend to help people more and you’re more involved, it’s more victim centric.”

Snr Const Van Gelderen grew up in the Latrobe Valley and has been in the force for nine years, she has spent most of her time at Morwell Police Station. Her role in the SOCIT does come with challenges, she said.

“It’s a really difficult theme of crime to work with, because what we deal with is the most awful thing that can happen to somebody, and to leave that at work and not take it home with you can be a challenge,” she said.

“You have to work within the confines of the law, and sometimes you want to go above and beyond to help these people as a person.”

When asked about her future moving forward, Snr Const Van Gelderen said she is content with her current position.

“It really like the work that I do, and Geoff is a great boss, and the team that we’ve got is a great team to work with, so I’m really happy and comfortable with where I am at the moment,” she said.

Victoria Police launch Operation Safeguard VICTORIA Police have launched Operation Safeguard as the state warms up.

They are asking Victorians to stay vigilant about fire safety this season, despite a wetter forecast than usual.

Operation Safeguard aims to deter or reduce the impact of intentional and recklessly lit fires.

Between July 2020 and June 2021, there were 21 offences recorded for recklessly causing a bushfire and 12 for intentionally causing a bushfire.

People found guilty for these crimes can face fines and up to 15 years imprisonment.

Assistant Commissioner State Emergencies and Support Command, Michael Grainger, warned Victorians to be alert this fire season.

“Now is not the time to be complacent – summer in Victoria means the risk of fire is imminent. In hot, dry and windy conditions, fires can start quickly, are fast-moving and can have devastating impacts,” he said.

“We will be targeting those people who engage in careless behaviour, such as burning off without a permit, not putting out a campfire properly or using tools or machinery during fire restrictions.

“Preventing bushfires is everyone’s responsibility - we’re asking the community to be mindful of their activities during the summer period and act responsibly – it could be your actions the result in a devastating bushfire, causing loss of life and property.”

Victoria Police will be monitoring the fire risk and will be deploying extra resources to high risk areas throughout the operation.

Common causes of recklessly lit fires include burning off, car exhausts and machinery, use of tools such as angle grinders, bonfires, flares, and farming machinery.

Police are encouraging people to report any reckless or suspicious behaviour.

The operation will run until March next year.

Anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour as it is occurring should phone Triple Zero (000) and anyone with any information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to www.crime stoppersvic.com.au

A top location: Australian Deer Association executive officer Barry Howlett is advocating for a shooting complex to be built in the Latrobe Valley’s mine voids. photograph supplied

Association sets sights on Valley

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Australian Deer Association (ADA) is gunning for state government support to establish a large scale shooting complex as part of Latrobe Valley mine rehabilitation plans.

The ADA is eyeing-off the Valley’s mine voids to build an Eastern Shooting Complex which would potentially attract tens of thousands of multi-disciplinary users.

ADA executive officer Barry Howlett said there was only one such complex in Victoria which was in in Little River, meaning shooters had to hike to the other side of Melbourne to hone their skills.

“The Valley’s mine sites are perfect as they have deep excavations, they are already zoned for noise and have close freeway access,” Mr Howlett said.

“Couple this with the need for economic activity in the Valley and to support jobs along the way.

Shooters have been looking towards the east for the past decade and the Valley is the best fit.”

The ADA had completed a feasibility study into an Eastern Shooting Complex earlier this year funded by the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.

The study found it could lure between 10,000 and 30,000 users a year to the Valley, provide between eight to 20 full-time ongoing jobs and 480 direct and indirect planning and construction jobs.

The complex would include shooting ranges, club rooms, function rooms and an administration area.

The ADA was now looking for about $3 million in state government investment to help secure land and initial support, but the group expects that the

project would become self-sufficient through the support of user groups.

Mr Howlett said the proposal could tie in with mine operator’s plans to turn the mines into pit lakes, by building the complex on surrounding parkland.

He said the existing shooting range in Moe had become unfit for purpose as it was too restricted within the urban encroachment.

“Something like this would be difficult to build closer to the city. There’s a growth of shooters in the Valley, the biggest concentration of deer hunters are in the Valley,” he said.

“Any number of rifle or even bow shooting organisations would use this, you could spread it across disciplines, with people getting into hunting, or those needing to make sure they remain proficient.”

Kellie to lead One Gippsland ONE Gippsland has elected a new chair and deputy chair to lead the alliance through 2022 ahead of the federal and state elections.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan was elected as chair, with Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye as deputy chair.

“Gippsland is a vibrant region with strong aspirations to support a growing population as well as being a food and fibre, tourism and energy powerhouse,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“One Gippsland aims to work with the state and federal governments to make sure our communities have the right level of connectivity so that we can continue to be one of the most liveable regions in Australia,” she said.

Cr O’Callaghan takes over from Cr Brett Tessari, immediate past Mayor of Bass Coast Shire who chaired One Gippsland over the course of a difficult past 24 months.

Cr O’Callaghan credited Cr Tessari for his leadership and stated: “Cr Tessari’s leadership and advocacy has enabled One Gippsland to be key voice for our region and I want to thank him for his tireless efforts.”

Cr O’Callaghan and Cr Bye were also joined on the board by the newly elected mayors from the following One Gippsland Local Government members: Cr Michael Whelan, Mayor Bass Coast Shire Council; Cr Michael Leaney, Mayor Baw Baw Shire Council; Cr Mark Reeves, Mayor East Gippsland Shire Council; and Cr Moyha Davies, Mayor South Gippsland Shire Council.

“As chair, I will be working collaboratively with my One Gippsland colleagues to make the case to the Victorian and Australian governments that our region must have strategic investment so we can not only recover from COVID restrictions, fires, floods and changing industries - but so that we can continue to be strong contributors to the national economy,” she said.

Photographer Melissa Thomson has always enjoyed taking photographs. For her, the artform was an outlet during the loss of her son from an illness.

Mr Thomson’s photographs are focused around the word vast, she used the human body the re-created landscapes in one section

of her display. Inspired by Psalm 135, she was interested in “how were are all created by god, and all the detail in that”.

In another collection of photos displayed, she used trees at Boolarra Cemetery.

The close up images for the tree bark look like images from an old map, she explained.

She said the other artists in the exhibition “have been very supportive,” and a great source of friendship.

Latrobe City Youth Council inviting new members

LATROBE City Youth Council is seeking new members for the 2022 term to build their leadership skills, make new connections and provide input into Council’s decision making.

Young people aged between 14-18 years old with ideas and energy about how to make Latrobe City Council a better place are invited to apply, with all backgrounds, abilities and identities welcomed.

The Youth Council will have a direct link with Latrobe City councillors and will focus on the following priorities:  Meaningfully engaging with local government, having their say on the plans and policies that impact current and future generations.

 Developing critical leadership and advocacy skills, while working with the community on capacity-building projects.  Making new relationships with people outside of their peer-group, strengthening ties and supports across Latrobe City.

An information session will be held in January 2022 to give interested applicants a chance to hear from the current Youth Council and understand what’s involved, the benefits and the time commitment.

Youth Council Mayor Natasha Murcott said the council was a great way to connect young people in the community, build confidence and be empowered to make things happen.

“This can be seen through the Fab Food, Marvellous Mood project where we were trying to improve the quality of mental health within the community, the mental health training we participated in and other small events we have done or are planning on doing in the near future,” Natasha said.

“Unfortunately, a lot of this year was spent online due to COVID, however, I still had the opportunity to read the affirmation at the Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony and lay a wreath at the Anzac Day Ceremony.

“I was also very thankful to still be able to get to know the other Youth Council members during the few in person interactions this year and I look

forward to getting to know them better next year.”

Latrobe City Council Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the Youth Council offered an opportunity to grow the leadership skills of young people while informing council’s decision-making process.

“We want to empower young people to share their ideas, think big and consider how they can influence the future of Latrobe City. As a council, we are committed to strengthening the link between the decisions we make and the needs of young people, and this is a crucial way to do that,” she said.

Celebrating the Valley’s volunteers

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Thank you: Robert Burns, Brent Isherwood and Raelene Billingsley holding their Volunteer of the Month certificates. photograph alyssa fritzlaff

TRARALGON Centre Plaza (TCP) presented three Volunteer of the Month Awards on Friday, November 19.

The award recipients were commended for their dedication to the community and respective organisations in the months of July, August, and September.

The winner for the month of July was Robert Burns, a volunteer tourism officer in Traralgon.

August’s award was presented to Brent Isherwood from Traralgon City Soccer Club, and September’s winner was Raelene Billingsley from Morwell’s State Emergency Services (SES).

Each volunteer was nominated by a colleague who felt they should be celebrated for their achievements.

The recipients were judged on their contributions through both their achievements at their organisation, and the benefits of their work to the community.

The three winners and their colleagues who nominated them, attended a morning tea at Café Evviva.

The Range Retirement Village is a retirement living community in Moe, boasting high-quality residential villas set inside a gated community.

The Range offers elegant new and refurbished two and three-bedroom independent living villas, set in attractive and well-manicured surrounds. Our spacious and elegant villas feature an openliving area, well-appointed kitchen, private courtyard garden and single or double garage.

The tea was hosted by TCP marketing manager Adele Nardino, who presented each volunteer with a framed certificate.

Many volunteers were commended for their extensive commitment to their organisations.

Ms Billingsley has volunteered for the SES for more than 30 years and was not expecting the award.

However, she told The Express she was feeling “chuffed” about receiving it.

During the presentation Mr Isherwood was commended for his “tireless work” at the soccer club, and Mr Burns was recognised for more than 20 years of volunteering.

Chloe Marrable, Mr Burns’ colleague, estimated that during his 20 years, “he has helped out around 10,000 people”.

For many of the volunteers, the awards were welcome recognition for their efforts.

Each winner was awarded $500 of which goes toward an organisation of their choosing.

Additionally, those who nominated a volunteered also received $250.

Much of this money is going back into the community through the recipients generous donations.

Villas now available

THE local community’s generosity has again come to the fore as part of the annual Christmas Giving Tree.

This was highlighted recently with the donations of handmade wooden toys by local men Steve Mitchell and Barry Williams.

The toys included cars, trucks, planes, as well as dogs and dinosaurs on wheels.

Mr Mitchell, who formerly worked in the engineering industry, spoke of the effort behind the donation.

“It takes a few hours making each one ... especially because you’ve got to go multiple coats of paint,” he said.

Mr Williams, who formerly worked in security, donated 15 wooden toys, including an impressive toy train.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK HYPOTHETICAL SBS Viceland, Monday, 9.20pm

You never know what you’ll get with this zany British comedy panel show, and that’s what makes it such fun. Comedians Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster have a knack for seeing the truly bizarre side of life, and audiences have lapped up the past two seasons. Tonight, season three kicks off, and there are a gaggle of fresh comedians eager to join the fun, along with some well-known names, including Richard Ayoade (Travel Man), Alan Davies (QI) and Roisin Conaty (After Life). This week, Suzi Ruffell, Tom Allen, Sophie Duker and Desiree Burch get creative with their responses to Acaster’s absurd hypothetical situations in the game show that promises to be totally unscripted.

CHRISTMAS WITH DELTA GOODREM Nine, Saturday, 7.30pm

If you sing from the same songbook as Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem (pictured), Christmas is your favourite time of year, hands-down. After her debut festive special last year, which audiences lapped up, Delta is back with new and impressive guests to ring in Christmas via song and style.

Joining Delta on stage at the Sydney Opera House will be much-loved singer-songwriter Paul Kelly, Natalie Imbruglia, Cody Simpson, Harts, Jason Arrow, and international stars Craig David, Andrea Bocelli and Gary Barlow. Expect some laughs and hijinks with The Inspired Unemployed and Hamish Blake.

CSI: VEGAS 10, Sunday, 8.30pm

Nostalgia: it can’t be overrated. This new CSI sequel proudly brings its original main characters, Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), back to the centre of its trademark grimy-yet-flashy crime scenes. To back them up, a new, younger crew of characters have entered the CSI fold. Watching the series has been a bit like stepping into an alternate reality where your favourite old TV characters have been brought back from the dead.

In this season-ender, lab technician David Hodges (Wallace Langham, pictured) goes missing, and the entire team is searching for any skerrick of evidence to save him.

SECRETS OF ALTHORP WITH CHARLES SPENCER ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Tune in for this quintessentially British doco exploring the magnificent Althorp Estate. Complete with posh narration and stunning scenic shots of the abode set on 13,000 green acres, the kicker is that the estate was Princess Diana’s family home and eventual burial site: her brother, Earl Charles Spencer (pictured with archaeologist Cat Jarmen), lives there now with his wife and children. The family home for more than 500 years, it’s an estate that screams money and privilege. Follow as Charles Spencer orchestrates an archaeological dig there in search of a lost Anglo Saxon village.

Up in the air: Comedians James Acaster and Josh Widdicombe preside over the hilarious madness that is Hypothetical.

Mt Baw Baw Tourist Road has reopened MT Baw Baw Tourist Road has reopened to traffic following months of hard work to rebuild sections of road damaged by major landslips in the unprecedented June 2021 storms.

Significant landslips occurred at 12 locations along Mt Baw Baw Road, forcing its closure for about 45 kilometres from Willow Grove Road to the South Face Road intersection.

The extreme weather event caused large sections of the road to fall away, and in addition, many drains were blocked by fallen trees and other vegetation.

Geotechnical engineers used specialist equipment to stabilise the hillsides and future-proof against further slippage as part of the recovery.

More than 20,000 tonnes of rock were imported to the landslip sites and placed by crews to strengthen the roadway and rebuild the impacted locations.

High altitudes and the narrow roads added to the challenging task as crews worked tirelessly to clear debris and restore access over the cold and wet winter conditions.

“We thank the local community for their patience and the hard work of all involved in this complex project to reopen Mt Baw Baw Road to locals and tourists ahead of the summer holidays,” Roads and Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said.

“Not only have we repaired the road – we’ve made a range of improvements that will make journeys into the high country safer and more reliable for all drivers into the future.”

The repairs and improvements to Mt Baw Baw Road will support the local economy, promoting increased tourism by improving access to the area with safer and more reliable journeys.

“The reopening of Mt Baw Baw Tourist Road has required crews to work hundreds of hours to clear and remove fallen trees, debris, and hazards,” Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said.

“These further improvements to the road and surrounds will enhance safety, improve access to market for a range of industries and help Gippsland’s economy to rebound as we continue our pandemic recovery efforts.”

Works to repair the retaining wall at the final landslip site will progress under traffic management conditions.

All works are anticipated to be completed and the road fully restored in early 2022.

Upgrades to the affected sections included drainage and earthworks, major excavation, asphalt resurfacing, installing guardrails, road strengthening, line-marking, and installing new guideposts and signs.

The June storms impacted more than 2000 kilometres of Gippsland’s arterial road network, with more than 180 roads closed across the region’s arterial and local road network as a result.

Federation University in the spotlight Online comments

Vitally important: Letter writer David Langmore looks at Federation University and whether it can adopt changes to ensure a greater Gippsland influence. file photograph These changes should include providing: A) That the council of Federation University should include at least five Gippsland residents.

B) That the current gross imbalance of senior academic and administrative staff between the Mt Helen and Churchill campuses be substantially rectified.

C) That proper community consultative processes be undertaken for any major changes affecting the operation of Federation University in Gippsland.

D) That major changes affecting Gippsland which have been made in the past without community consultation, such as the disbandonment of the Centre for Gippsland Studies, be now subject to proper community consultation review.

David Langmore, Traralgon

And so, absorbed and inebriated by the sights and sounds and scents all around me, I can only concur wholeheartedly with the dead-on-chisel-it-on-mygravestone truthfulness of American naturalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), when he wrote these imperishable words in 1845 from his cabin near Walden Pond: “I am convinced that men are not well employed, that this is not the way to spend the day. If by patience, if by watching, I can feel elevated for an instant upon Parnassus, the world which was dead prose to me become living and divine, shall I not watch ever? If by watching a whole year on the city walls I may obtain a communication from heaven, shall I not do well to shut up shop and turn a watchman?”

Joseph Lis, Morwell

Garden proves a sanctuary

Victoria’s manufacturing future needs reviving

PAY heed to the language of the Morwell Rose Garden: the taut, thin cry of the Tree Swallow heralding the return of the prodigal summer sun; the fizzing of nectar-intoxicated bees having a field day amongst the 400 different varieties of roses that grow here; the sad-sweet requiem of Sorrow of mating cicadas singing in the trees, and with hardly a hint of their early deaths drawing near: it all says more in 10 minutes about hopes and disappointments, about beginnings and endings, than Dan Andrews and Scott Morrison have said in a year - a loud, loud year.

For out here in the Rose Garden, one comes to get away from all the broken promises and peacockstrutting and to see through the feather-plucking bulldust of it all.

And on this unhurried early-summer’s day, I have no time to be in a hurry, today all I want to do is day-dream on the daisied grass as I observe the bees and the butterflies that visit here.

For here it is always the 13th month of the year and the Sabbath every day of the year.

Here one comes to forget and escape the COVID fearmongering and the dizzying demands of an ever-accelerating rat-race.

Here one comes to oil the end of a screechy week and to come face to face with nature. Here one comes to smell the roses and indulge in aromatherapy of the botanical kind.

More and more we live in a world where we haven’t the time to take our time - where we go through life with the horn-button jammed and where the only meditation we do takes place while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.

VICTORIA used to be the manufacturing heart of Australia.

We now have the opportunity to bring manufacturing home to Victoria – where it belongs.

Over the past 20 years, more than 50,000 jobs have been lost in the local sector.

And now the COVID pandemic has exposed holes in our supply chain, including an over-reliance on other countries for the provision of essential medical supplies, such as personal protective equipment (PPE).

Government has a key role to play in restoring business confidence to invest in regional Victoria, particularly after the economic carnage inflicted by two years of Labor’s lockdowns.

The Nationals in government will back the creation of new local jobs with a $1 billion Bringing Manufacturing Home Fund to support manufacturers to relocate or expand their operations – and career opportunities – in Victoria.

It will focus on restoring Victoria’s reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse by prioritising support for industries of national importance like PPE manufacture, defence procurement and rare earths processing.

Victoria has a real opportunity to create thousands of new jobs and attract millions-of-dollars of investment, while regenerating our own capability to produce critical supplies that we’ve otherwise lost to overseas. Rebuilding our local and regional economies will be a vital piece of Victoria’s recovery.

Peter Walsh, Leader of The Nationals

AGL OFFERS LOY YANG A REDUNDANCIES Phil Edwards: This is why we need new industries. Latrobe City Council tried to block 50 new jobs at Hazelwood North after the state government spent five million dollars to create the Gippsland Heavy Industry Park.

Their own planning department supported the jobs but they knocked it back and hoped VCAT would overrule them and they would have clean hands. Thank goodness for the ALP state government. Not many boilermakers want to retrain as yoga instructors.

Peter Weuffen: All about profits.

Peter Ellerington: It’s not just LYA it’s all AGL stations across Australia.

Baz Bobber: What system or systems do we have with power if these power stations were to shut in the next few years? Everything made these days is made to use electricity with all the gadgets.Yet people want us to go into third world power until something can be built to replace what we have.

FURTHER DISCUSSSIONS TO TAKE PLACE ON HISTORIC BUILDING’S FUTURE Anthony Wasiukiewicz: Should have asked the community before they decided to bulldoze it. That’s how councils are supposed to work. It’s not all ‘look at me here’s a picture of me standing next to someone else who did something.

FEDERATION University was established in 2014 through an amalgamation of the former University of Ballarat and the Gippsland Campus of Monash University.

It was understood that the new university would provide a range of significant benefits for people living in the regions served by both campuses.

Both campuses serve significant regional populations, although Gippsland’s population (over 290,000 in 2020) is slightly larger than that of the western region (approximately 255,000 in 2020) which is the Ballarat campus’s primary catchment area.

There are significant concerns that the Gippsland region may not be receiving a fair share of the benefits from Federation University.

Virtually all decision making and administration for the university is centralised in Ballarat.

The university’s 16 member council contains only two Gippsland residents.

The overwhelming majority (over 70 per cent) of the university’s professorial and associate professors are based at Ballarat whereas less than 18 per cent are currently based at the Gippsland campus.

A number of courses from which there are ongoing professional skill requirements in Gippsland such as business, arts, science and engineering are not being well supported and promoted.

Thankfully, however, Federation University has supported the maintenance of nursing and the development of several paramedical courses at Churchill, which complement the one year of Monash University’s medical foundation studies being provided at Churchill.

Federation University claims to support “deep community engagement”.

Despite this, some long-term Gippsland regional community valued initiatives, such as the Centre for Gippsland Studies, have been abandoned

by Federation University without any public consultation.

The concept of a federation of regionally based university campuses is an arrangement with significant potential to greatly facilitate educational, cultural, economic and community benefits for the participating regions.

However, this potential can only be achieved if the federation operates in a fair and equitable manner.

Of course, all universities are facing extraordinarily difficult times resulting primarily from the impacts of the COVID-19 virus crisis, including a massive outflow of international students, and the absence of compensating federal government support.

Nevertheless, these matters are not an excuse for not addressing the concerns raised here. Rather, they add urgency to having these matters addressed very soon.

Gippsland is confronting some extraordinary challenges and opportunities now, and during the next decade and beyond.

There will be a need for many additional skilled people to help maintain vital services and to further develop the region’s economy. Some of the major challenges include programs to repurpose the region’s gargantuan open cut mines and to establish new industries, including the development of new renewable enterprises, such as the massive Star of the South project.

It is suggested that the Gippsland community, its leaders and its institutions should strongly advocate that early changes should be made to the organization of Federation University in order to ensure that Gippsland interests are adequately represented and also to enable some of the significant skills available within Gippsland to be more effectively utilised to assist Federation University.

CHRISTMAS Father James, Sieanna, Aleksja, Isabella, Apenisa, Mayah and Ruby.

Apenisa.

Mayah.

Aleksja.

First Eucharist

Ruby.

RECENTLY our greatest celebration has been for the students Isabella, Apenisa, Aleksja, Ruby, Mayah and Sieanna who celebrated their First Eucharist.

In preparation for their First Eucharist, students at Sacred Heart Primary School in Morwell participated and attended a series of online sessions with our priest Fr. James, their parents and teachers.

At school the focus has been around faith journeys, all children have had the opportunity to discuss their own personal journey and how connections with family and their own faith contribute to their growth.

Again, this year The Express will be providing a Christmas Tree for placement of gifts for children less fortunate in our local communities.

Feel the warmth as you give the gift of GIVING and place a gift under the tree to do your part in putting a smile on someone's face this Christmas.

All gifts will be passed onto the Morwell Office of Anglicare Victoria, for distribution at their discretion on Monday 13 December, 2021 at 3pm.

Gifts should be labelled as boy or girl with the appropriate age group and rreceived eceived no no llater ater tthan h an 2 2pm pm M Monday onday 1 13 3D December, ecember, 2 2021.

Ben Cruachan Walking Club

LOOKING for Christmas gift suggestions?

Here are a couple that will appeal to those with a love of our great outdoors.

What about becoming a member of Ben Cruachan Walking Club.

It is fun, great for your physical and mental health and gives you a chance to enjoy our environment with a group of like-minded people.

Annual membership fees are $48 for singles and $60 for families.

You can join by visiting our website on bencruachanwalkingclub.com.au Or how about purchasing the book

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

McMillan’s Walking Track for around $20.

In 1864, early Gippsland explorer Angus McMillan was commissioned to establish a track linking the Gippsland goldfields from Omeo to Woods Point.

The 220 kilometre long track traverses some of the most rugged and scenic country in the nation.

Our club was involved with both the re-establishment of the track and the production of the book with part of the sale proceeds going towards track maintenance.

Moe Community Christmas Carols

THE Moe Community Christmas Carols are happening.

Friday, December 17 will see a ‘livestream event’ presentation from 7pm-9pm. (Due to COVID this is a non audience event) We wholeheartedly thank our sponsors Latrobe City Council/ Baptist Union Victoria/Moe Racing Club/ Safetech/Moe Traders Association/ Moe Baptist Church for use of their auditorium.

Their support is allowing this event to go ahead.

This is our chance to unite and regenerate our community with the Christmas spirit of laughter, fun, singing and hope for the New Year ahead.

Local artists are supporting the event giving them an opportunity to enhance their skills after a year of non events.

We look forward to them sharing the Christmas Carols and well known songs with us.

School students from Elizabeth Street Primary School, South Street Primary School and St Kieran’s Catholic School will give their renditions of various Aussie Christmas songs.

Their singing will be lively and add so much fun to the programme.

The Newborough Scouts have also prepared a surprise item for us ... so watch that space!

Our programme will be under the guidance of our special MC for the evening Andrew Deak from 3GG a well-known and respected presenter of Radio and at Moe Carols.

There has also been a request put in for the Man in the Red Suit to call in and visit us.

There will be prizes on offer.

We would love if our elderly members in Aged Care and nursing homes would be able to be part of this evening by viewing to give them a sense of connectedness and belonging.

We the planning team are hoping you enjoy all the presentations.

Posters coming out soon.

To view on the night, visit the Moe Traders Association’s Facebook page.

Thorpdale pool open this summer

FOR the second year in a row, the Thorpdale Swimming Pool Committee has worked with Baw Baw Shire Council to provide a donation that will allow the community to swim for free this summer.

The generous donation will cover the entry costs for community members using the Thorpdale Outdoor Pool, as well as funding the Thorpdale Primary School’s swimming program and annual swimming carnival.

Prior to Council taking over the operations of the pool in 2006, the community-led committee has held funds generated by community volunteers.

Last year, the committee donated a portion of the unspent funds back into the facility allowing the community to use the pool at no charge.

After receiving overwhelming support and praise from the community last year, the committee decided to sponsor another season of free swimming at the pool.

This initiative seeks to encourage social connectedness amongst the Thorpdale and surrounding communities after another year impacted by lockdowns.

The pool re-opened on December 1 on days where the temperature is forecast to reach or exceed 25 degrees celsius.

Open days will be determined at 5pm for the following day using the Warragul forecast data provided by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Opening times: Monday to Friday: 3pm–7pm.

Weekends, school and public holidays: 1pm–7pm.

A range of COVIDSafe measures will be in place for all visitors in line with the current health advice as directed

by DHHS. Pools may close prior to or during thunderstorm activity or in extreme weather conditions.

All pools will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Traralgon Historical Society

WITH the year coming to an end the Society will hold its last general meeting on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at 7.30pm at their rooms in the Kath Teychenne Centre, 11 Breed Street Traralgon.

Our photographer Graeme Crawford has prepared a photographic display of Traralgon which will then be followed by a Christmas supper supplied by the Society.

Re-unite and celebrate!

The Annual Dinner which was held on November 9, 2021 at Dal Mondo’s was a great success.

Former councillor Pat O’Brien entertained the members with stories of the Shire back in the 1990s and also the demise of the SEC. It was very pleasing to see the members supporting the Society.

What a year it has been with meetings and displays cancelled, some meetings via zoom, we hope 2022 will be back to some sort of normal.

We wish everyone a very a happy and healthy Christmas and look forward to seeing you in 2022.

Traralgon Lions Club

TRARALGON Lions Club Senior Citizens Christmas Party After 45 years of continuously running the Senior Citizens Christmas Party, it has had to be cancelled for the second year due to COVID restrictions.

MOE South Street Primary School students enjoyed a day of rotation activities learning about Aboriginal culture on November 22.

Indigenous community members Anne Maree Stever (Koorie Education Support Officer), Billyjack Smith (KESO) and Margaret Cooper (Cultural teacher) attended the day to support the teachers and students during the activities.

The students rotated through activities including a dreamtime story The Echidna and the Shade Tree where students created an echidna with leaves, Aboriginal flag biscuit decorating, Gumbundj (Koorie language bingo) and gardening, which consisted of students planting Indigenous plants and painting totem poles.

The school received funding from ‘Junior Landcare’ to be able to develop the garden.

The students developed a greater awareness of Koorie culture and excitedly moved through the activities.

Concentration: Gemma Buckley and Taylah Voumard playing ‘Gumbundj’.

Lumen Christi students raise funds for appeal

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Market: Maila Foster sold mini candy canes at her stall.

LUMEN Christi Primary School in Churchill has raised funds for the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

The fundraising event, called the ‘Bethlehem Bazaar’, was a welcome return to normalcy for the school children, who appeared to be having a fantastic time.

Each student in Year 5/6 was involved in running a stall, where they sold all kinds of arts and crafts, foods, and facilitated games.

All proceeds were donated, teaching the students about the importance of giving.

Principal Dave Cooper said the event was about “reaching out and caring”.

Families of 5/6 children assisted in

donating, buying prizes and items for the children to sell at their stalls, while other children brought their own funds to donate and participate in the market.

The proceeds will be used to purchase toys donated to families unable to purchase presents for their children this Christmas.

Catherine Campbell, from St Vincent De Paul, is an aid at Lumen Christi and was present at the event.

She explained that the toys purchased will be given to families living in the Churchill area, and will cater to all ages, allowing vulnerable families to enjoy their Christmas.

Students and teachers dressed up in magnificent costumes throughout the duration of the market.

Fundraiser: Some stalls sold food and handmade items, while others had games to play. photographs alyssa fritzlaff

Morwell Central Primary students play the xylophone ALL the students at Morwell Central Primary School have enjoyed learning to play the xylophone.

They are very grateful to the Morwell Bowling Club which generously donated several of these instruments, enabling each student to have access to one during Music classes.

The xylophones have a really lovely sound and the students have been able to put their note reading into practise by learning to play some simple tunes on them.

The school’s percussion band has also played more complicated pieces on these instruments, which include several different parts.

So many skills have been learned from playing the xylophone, including learning to listen to others, perseverance, and co-ordination.

The xylophones came just at the right time as they are quite safe to play during the pandemic and can be easily cleaned.

All smiles: Grade Prep/1 students love the sounds they can make on the xylophone. Back row: Kyson, Finn and Yasser. Front row: Ollie, Aisha and Zico.

LOCKDOWN or no lockdown, fire safety is vital for children to understand, so that they can remain safe in such uncertain times when they are potentially spending more whole days in the home.

Hazelwood North Volunteer Fire Brigade members know how important this is, so arranged for a safety awareness in the home opportunity to be presented to the students of Hazelwood North Primary School.

This was done in Term 2 prior to the winter break so that the students had clear and current awareness and strategies if required.

Hazelwood North Volunteer Fire Brigade Community Safety Officer Maria Harkins spent time with the students.

“They asked really great questions, and some could identify if they had safety equipment in their home. If nothing else, the students were going to go home and ask, and maybe have a conversation,” Ms Harkins said.

As part of the visit, students were asked to create ‘something’ to share their understanding with other children, about how to be prepared in the home in regards to fire safety.

The winning entries were a poster about the steps to stay safe, by Abbie, in the upper school and Maisy, in the younger years, who created a Lego box/house with cards

Awareness: Hazelwood North Volunteer Fire Brigade members Brad and Maria (back row) with Hazelwood North Primary School students Abbie and Maisy. photograph supplied inside with instructions on what to do.

Both were well thought out and had taken quite a bit of effort.

Ms Harkins said Hazelwood North Brigade members valued their relationship with the Hazelwood North Primary School, and continue to engage

with the community so that we can assist them to be safe in our shared environment.

“Thank you to the school staff for allowing us this access when it was safe to do so and well done to the students who engaged in the lessons and were creative in the end,” Ms Harkins said.

Traralgon Cup memories HARNESS RACING

By KYLE GALLEY

MEMORIES of the past era of trotting in the Latrobe Valley will be rekindled at the Warragul trots on Monday, December 13.

Each year the Warragul Harness Racing Club conducts the Traralgon Pacing Cup, a race formerly run at Glenview Park Racecourse until trotting ceased there in November 1995.

The feature race was reinstated on the local race calendar at Warragul in 2006, and now carries a healthy prizemoney cheque of $10,000 for competitors.

The first moves to establish a trotting club east of Warragul began in the mid 1960s, when a group of enthusiasts formed the Latrobe Valley Trotting Promotional Committee.

They recognised the lack of trotting tracks east of Melbourne compared to the north of the state, and also highlighted the large population base of the three Latrobe Valley cities, Moe, Morwell and Traralgon and their surrounding townships as a massive potential new audience for the sport in Victoria.

The promotions committee lobbied the Trotting Control Board, local councils and politicians continually in an attempt to gain a licenced club in the region.

Opening race meeting was staged at Traralgon on November 28, 1975, with the last meeting run just under 20 years later, when it was agreed that further racing be staged only at Warragul.

It had been a long struggle to that point by the Traralgon club, being the eastern outpost for the sport in Victoria, relying on locals and dedicated

KLEINITZ, Margaret.

The Answerth family would like to thank all those who sent condolences, flowers and cards following the passing of our loved one, Margaret Kleinitz. Special thanks to Drs Coughlan and Menahem, the staff at LRH and Maryvale Hospitals, the Mathison and Howlett families and her many friends who offered support.

We also would like to thank Fathers Bickley, Szewc and Daniel who ministered to Margaret in her final days.

Many still involved in trotting fondly remember their trips to Traralgon, and, a quarter of a century after its closure, many still lament the loss of the club and racetrack to the sport in the region.

Goannas defeat Glen Waverley VETERANS CRICKET

THE Gippsland Goannas Over-60 cricket team travelled to Glen Waverley yesterday to take on the might of the Glen Waverley Hawks Over-60 team.

The Hawks captain won the toss and decided to bat.

With some of the Goannas big names missing, this was going to be an interesting game.

Gordon Cowling and Rob Bacchetti opened the bowling and soon had the Hawks first wicket as Cowling bowled Michael Van Zuyden for two.

There was a runout soon after (Rob Taylor to Ian Gibson) which saw the other opening bat dismissed.

After 10 overs, the Hawks were 2-22, which the great Richie Benaud would have enjoyed.

The next five batsman all batted for more than 35 balls, with two of them retiring, but with wickets to Ian Southall, the score was then 3-54, and Murray Moore, saw the Hawks reach 85 for the loss of four wickets after 28 overs.

Kevin Lanigan and Barrie Nunn bowled a few overs each. Ian Gibson made a good stumping from the bowling of Ray Floyd, and Cowling and Southall came on for the final overs.

Southall had two wickets in the final over, one a superb catch behind by Gibson, and the Hawks completed their 40 overs at 7-152.

Floyd took a good catch at mid on, while Gibson had two catches and a stumping as wicketkeeper.

Phill Higgins saved multiple runs in the field and earned the praise of all.

Rob Taylor and Rob Bacchetti opened the batting for the Goannas after the lunch break and had the score at 45 after 10 overs.

They both retired after facing 40 balls, for 23 and 33 respectively, bringing Col Carmody and Southall to the crease.

They attacked the few loose balls which were bowled and had the score at 104 when the 20 over drinks break was taken.

They both retired at the end of the 24th over, Carmody for 35 and Southall for 28, to allow two more Goannas to have a bat.

Higgins and Floyd took the score towards the victory target and Floyd came off for Nunn to have a hit.

Higgins was seven when the winning run was scored and the Goannas had a good 10-wicket victory, with eight overs to spare.

Each of the Goannas teams play another game in the next 10 days. The Over-50 team is away to the East Ringwood Over-50s on Sunday, when the Over-60 team will play the Warrandyte Over-60s at the Glengarry Turf.

The Over-70 team will journey back to Capital Reserve to play the Glen Waverley Hawks Over70’s on the following Wednesday, December 15.

Training will continue at the Glengarry nets on Wednesday from 4.45pm. There will be dinner at the Glen Pub following training this week. All players, their partners and all other interested people should book with Ian Gibson as soon as possible.

Freeballers claim premiership INDOOR CRICKET

A QUICKFIRE 30 runs in the final throes catapulted the free-wheeling ‘Freeballers’ to the first ever Gippsland Regional Cricket Centre (GRCC) indoor premiership on Wednesday, November 24.

The Freeballers conquered a gallant Gippy Tigers line-up in the grand final, capping off a stellar maiden season featuring eight competitive teams.

The Tigers batted first and made a defendable total of 7-58 after losing early wickets.

In contrast, the Freeballers’ innings began swiftly with runs flowing for the table topping favourites, setting up a chase of just six runs required with 10 overs remaining.

The Tigers showed tenacity to stave off defeat, bagging some handy wickets late to push the margin out.

Freeballers held their nerve and managed to pile on 30 runs in the final few overs to seal the win with a score of 14-71.

A new eight-week season is set to commence on January 31, 2022 with matches on Monday and Wednesday nights.

A losing start for LV and Traralgon CRICKET GCL UNDER-18

By LIAM DURKIN

Great game: Linda Watkinson took out the Ladies Club Championship at Traralgon Golf Club recently. Congratulating Watkinson is Traralgon Golf Club member Heather Cameron photograph supplied

Wilkinson wins club championship GOLF

THE third round of the Ladies Club Championship at the Traralgon Golf Club was held recently The winner of the club championship with a final score of 276 was Linda Watkinson.

Handicap Champion was Melissa Alexander on 234.

Ineca Prowd won the B Grade title on 279, with Annie Chapman taking out the handicap.

C Grade Champion was Yvonne Ferrel with a score on 309. Ferrel also won the handicap.

The nine hole stableford Champion was Lorna Roberts on 53 and the Gwen Main Trophy Best Aggregate Handicap was won by Ferrel on 210.

BATSMEN from Latrobe Valley and Sale-Maffra found the going tough at Heyfield in the first game of the Gippsland Cricket League season.

Latrobe Valley saw something they liked in the surface and elected to bowl first, and would have been roundly pleased when the Sharks were bowled out for 111.

Nathan Wheildon took 3-13 to lead the way with the ball. Other multiple wicket takers were Sam Gissara (2-19) and Harry Cooper (2-28).

The Sharks then had their turn to bowl, and showed that two could play at the same game, reducing Latrobe Valley to 3-11 thanks to a blistering spell by Seb Pendergast.

With Pendergast steaming in and his ‘arms and legs everywhere’ action giving batsman something else to contend with, the bustling quick got the home side on a roll, with his three wickets coming within the space of nine balls and seeing the timber disturbed on each occasion.

Latrobe Valley tried to establish some partnerships thereafter, but could not string any together.

At 8-52 the situation was not looking good, but some resistance by Cooper and Bryce Williamson got Latrobe Valley to 85 until Cooper was adjudged leg before by Tom Wrigglesworth.

Williamson very nearly took the game away from Sale-Maffra, making 25 batting at number 10, but was dismissed just 18 runs shy of the victory target, with the leg spin of Wrigglesworth again the man to do the damage for the Sharks.

Wrigglesworth finished with 3-16 and Ed Phelan-Penson 2-14, but it was Pendergast who shone brightest, taking 5-14 from 10 overs with five maidens thrown in for good measure.

Pendergast took five of the first seven wickets to fall, paving the way for Stratford teammate Wrigglesworth to finish the game off.

AMAZINGLY, it was the same margin in the other Under-18 game between Warragul and Traralgon.

Playing at Duncan Cameron Park, Warragul batted first and made 165.

The Tornadoes bowlers all came to the party, with four trundlers all taking two or more wickets.

Campbell Peavey finished with 3-41 and received good support from Nathan Thomson (2-24), Ethan Jarvis (2-32) and Ryan Bosch (2-42).

In reply, Traralgon ended up being one significant partnership away from winning, as an innings high partnership of 34 between Nick Millington and Matt Garland told the story.

Garland scored 45, but the rest of the order either didn’t press on after getting starts, or missed out completely, to see the Tornadoes bowled out for 147.

After Garland, the next greatest contributor to the Traralgon total was extras on 28.

Young gun’s ton one to remember CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

Top-shelf: Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders cricketer Ben Burrows scored 109 not out playing for the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League Under-15 representative side.

photograph liam durkin

WHEN you have Gippsland cricket legend Anthony Bloomfield saying your innings is “one of the best I’ve witnessed by an under age player”, you know you’ve played well.

Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders youngster Ben Burrows won the plaudits of not only Bloomfield, but all who saw him score 109 not out playing for the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League Under-15 representative side two Sundays ago.

The 14-year-old brought up the ton playing against the Traralgon and District Cricket Association in what served as the opening game of Junior Country Week.

Burrows’ century could not have been scripted any better.

Not only did he remain unbeaten, he raised the bat on his home ground and delivered when his team needed him most.

Coming to the crease in the second over with the LVDCL teetering at 2-9, Burrows was out in the middle for virtually the entire 50 over allotment, seeing the home side to close at 6-241.

With the wide open expanses of the Yinnar Turf ground limiting boundaries, Burrows worked the ball around to craft his innings.

Another tricky period had the game in the balance with Latrobe Valley 5-100, but Burrows was again up to the task, and found a willing ally in Trafalgar’s Louis Hennessy, who scored 45 himself in a 118-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

All in all Burrows’ 109 was scored off 136 balls and contained five fours in a 197-minute stay at the crease.

As if batting for more than three hours was not enough, Burrows then went out to wicketkeep, and took three catches as the TDCA was skittled for 64 in reply.

Some games you just can’t put a foot wrong.

Reflecting on his perfect day, Burrows said he built his innings in stages.

“I just wanted to get myself in to start and try to work the ball around in partnerships,” he said.

“After my 50 was when I felt the best out there, it just came easier toward the end, the start was a bit shaky losing a few quick wickets.”

As he moved closer to three figures, Burrows had a vague idea of what he was on.

“With five overs left someone ran water out and told me I was on 85,” he said.

“I realised I was getting pretty close when most people had the cameras out.

“I was pretty nervous, I was just trying to do it as quick as I could, get it out of the way.”

Sitting on 99 and just one moment away from agony and ecstasy, Burrows drove the ball straight back past the bowler to bring up his ton.

Just to make sure he wouldn’t be robbed of the mark once the books were added up, the 14-year-old sprinted up and back for two to take his total to 101.

Burrows played a virtually chanceless innings and eclipsed his previous highest score of 81.

At club level, the youngster has started the season in the Raiders A Grade side, and is sure to benefit from having the likes of former firstclass players Brad Knowles and Madura Perera, as well as first grade captain Liam Maynard to extract ideas from.

“They all help me out a lot,” Burrows said of the Raiders senior stars.

“Liam has given me confidence in A Grade.

He’s told me just to try and stick around, work singles, do my job, play my part in the game.”

Moving forward, Burrows said his aim was to keep improving, with a view to further his game by playing Victorian Premier Cricket in years to come.

Traralgon gets the points in derby contest CRICKET GCL WOMEN’S

By LIAM DURKIN

A LOCAL derby highlighted recent action in the GCL Women’s competition.

Traralgon took the points over Latrobe Valley by 82 runs at Catterick Crescent, Traralgon.

The Tornadoes closed at 7-218, with the top four all making decent scores.

Molly Ward notched an unbeaten half century, to go with Ryley Reid who made 49.

Keira Morely scored 23 and Ashlyn Murtagh 21 to keep the pen running through the progressive score in the book.

Catriona Halkett was the best bowler for Latrobe Valley, taking 2-13.

The Latrobe Valley innings never reached any great heights, and in the end the team closed at 9-136.

Simone Clymo top scored with 26 and Halkett made 22.

Reid and Murtagh each took two wickets for the victors.

SALE-MAFFRA successfully chased Leongatha’s total of 7-102 at Koonwarra.

Shark bowlers Chloe Lenehan and Jazz Anstee took 2-9 and 2-13 respectively.

Jessie Fowkes top scored for Leongatha with 20 and number eight Maya Williams got the score up above 100 with an unbeaten 19.

Sale-Maffra got the runs in relatively straightforward fashion, getting home with six wickets in hand.

Abby Wrigglesworth got busy with 29 off 28 balls, as did opening batter Lily-Mae Lyndon who scored a run-a-ball 21.

Acacia Sutton and Delwyn Ahern then retired on 18 and 17, and with the result beyond doubt, the Sharks got through their batters and gave everyone a hit.

By LIAM DURKIN

CHURCHILL and Morwell remain the only undefeated teams after four rounds of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League.

The Cobras and Tigers each banked another lot of points from their games to maintain their promising starts to the season.

CHURCHILL was sent in by CATS at John Black Oval.

The home side snagged a wicket early, but from there the Cobras were able to string a few partnerships together and eventually closed at 8-211.

Wicket-keeper Ryan Wilk made 27 opening the batting, while Steve Warr was thrown to first drop and responded with a gritty 35.

Brendan Mason and John Keighran were again among the runs for Churchill, scoring 46 and 29 respectively.

Some fireworks down the order from Ryan Harvey, who made 25 from 24 balls, helped the cause.

Wickets were shared in the CATS camp. Callum Stewart took 3-45, Rory Hare 2-16 on return and Ben Julin 2-57.

CATS got off to a decent start in reply, with Josh Keyhoe and Jamie Cochrane putting on 47 for the opening wicket.

Keyhoe was the first to depart, making 25 from just 19 balls, which brought Tinashe Panyangara to the crease.

The Zimbabwean teed off, and hit three sixes and two fours in his knock of 54 from 48 balls.

Unfortunately from a CATS perspective, wickets fell around him, and when Panyangara was dismissed, the score was on 5-123.

From there, CATS lost their last five wickets for 31 runs and were rolled for 154.

Warr led the way with the ball, taking 3-25 from 10 overs with five maidens.

Matt Harvey also proved effective, nabbing 3-38.

MORWELL wasn’t deterred after being sent in on a seaming wicket at Peter Siddle Oval.

The Tigers scratched out a tricky 120 total against Latrobe, which in the context of the conditions was worth a lot more.

Morwell then returned serve and showed how two could play at the same game, running through the Sharks to see them bowled out for under 100.

RAIDERS proved too strong for Mirboo North.

The travelling Raiders team compiled 5-205 after being asked to have a hit by the Tigers.

Captain Liam Maynard top scored on 82, and received support from Ken Hutchinson, who proved aged in no barrier, making 29 at the top of the order.

Luke Corry finished with 2-39 for Mirboo North.

The Tigers never really got going with the bat, and were dismissed for 104 in the 37th over.

Only Joel Piasente with an unbeaten 27 offered much resistance.

Every Raiders bowler walked off the ground with some poles. Young quick Harry McColl found his rhythm and took 4-32, Madura Perera snared 2-20, Maynard grabbed 2-20 and Jeevan Varghese got 2-29.

MOE again made good use of a new strip batting first at Ted Summerton Reserve, this time against Traralgon West.

The Lions closed at 8-228, highlighted by Andrew Philip scoring 59, Joel Mitchell 54 and Ash Savige 36.

Leading wicket-takers for the Eagles were Salman Rasool who took 3-40 and Adam Thow with 2-44.

Traralgon West didn’t get close to chasing the total, and in the end were content not to get bowled out.

The Eagles got within two balls of achieving this, but a final total of 114 runs in 49.4 overs told a sorry tale.

Robert Blunt had the ball talking for Moe, and ended with the tremendous figures of 3-7 off 10 overs with seven maidens nonetheless.

Mitchell also chipped in with three scalps, and Savige took 2-27.

TRAFALGAR defied everything one generally expects to see of a team that wins a cricket match by five wickets with a bonus point.

Not for the first time, the Ships played in a game that seemed to make no sense upon reflection, as they grassed five absolute dollies in the field and yet still bowled Centrals out for 73 at Yallourn North.

Sporting new playing tops, the Ships took wickets and put down chances at regular intervals.

Daniel Heathcote was denied a hat-trick in bizarre circumstances after taking the key wicket of Centrals big hitter Rob Webber.

Heathcote followed up by grabbing the edge of Sam Gray’s bat, only for the catch to go down, before the very next ball plugged just short of the wicket-keeper from a top edge.

The Ships did have some luck in the field, particularly with the run out of Wayne Henry coming after his bat got stuck in the turf.

Jackson Noonan took 3-13 for Trafalgar, to go with a rebound catch off his chest.

Wanting to get the chase over and done with, the Ships lost a few wickets on the run home, but got there in relatively straightforward fashion.

Two players with the same first name but with different spelling in Aydan Connolly and Aiden George saw the Ships across the line by making 26 and 22.

JEERALANG-BOOLARRA had the bye.

THIS WEEK will see Morwell welcome Moe, Centrals will play Churchill, Mirboo North travel to Traralgon West, Raiders host Trafalgar and Jeeralang-Boolarra and CATS meet at Peter Siddle Oval.

Latrobe has the bye.

High fives all round: Glengarry players celebrate a wicket against Rovers.

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

Magpies fly to stylish win CRICKET TDCA

THE cream is starting to rise to the top in the Traralgon District Cricket Association, with three clubs showing their premiership credentials over the weekend.

ROVERS v GLENGARRY IN what was expected to be a one sided affair, Glengarry claimed the points over Rovers but only after the young team from Duncan Cameron Park made them fight every step of the way.

Rovers won the toss and batted on a Glengarry wicket that is quickly becoming one of the best in the competition.

It didn’t start off the best for Rovers though as Tyron Bramwell was out for a duck, but with Ewan Williams joining Tyler Pearce at the crease they were able to get the score to 46 before Williams snicked off to Nat Freitag.

Pearce then played an uncharacteristic shot after battling for 64 balls to be dismissed with the score on 49 and things didn’t get better when Kade Marsh was dismissed four balls later.

It looked as if the same script was playing out for Rovers as they started losing wickets quickly but the one hope they had was that captain Dougal Williams was still at the crease doing all he could to hold up an end.

Hold up an end he did as the last wicket partnership for Rovers ended up being 58 as Williams lifted his scoring rate to post a well-made 76 not out from 66 balls which allowed Rovers to reach a very competitive score of 9-174.

Glengarry’s bowlers shared the wickets around as Cam Graham, Max Merton and Brandon Mayberry each claimed two each.

The Magpies went out and started their innings with great intent as Al Jenkin set the tone scoring 49 from 44 balls which included three towering sixes.

When he was dismissed the score was on 71 and then 20 runs later Freitag was out for 10 and Rovers were back in the hunt.

The class and depth of Glengarry shone through though as Sam Marks took his time to ensure they didn’t lose a clump of wickets while Rovers were able to keep the pressure on and keep plugging away.

The deeper Rovers could take the match the bigger chance they had of winning but when Paul Henry and Nick Grainger came to the crease they guided the Magpies home in a perfectly timed run chase, reaching Rovers total in the 49th over of the innings.

Simon Duff was the pick of the bowlers for Rovers taking 2-21 while Jack Lynch and Kayleb Pearce each took a wicket.

TOONGABBIE v EX STUDENTS THE Toongabbie versus Ex Students match was billed as match-of-the-round but as they have done so often, Ex Students flexed their muscles and made a statement against the Rams.

Toongabbie won the toss and batted but were in trouble early with the score on 3-14 as Jimmy Pryde went bang-bang-bang claiming the first three wicket of the innings.

It didn’t improve for the Rams too much after as they were left wondering what was happening as Tim Dunn got knocked over by Kade Duncan with the score on 5-48.

Then at number six, James Chalmers provided the home team with hope as he took on the Ex Students bowlers and together with Kev Stoddart were able to take the score up to 116 until the Sharks bowlers found another gear and finished off Toongabbie quickly as the last four wickets fell for only seven runs.

The Ex Students opening pair were superb in setting the tone for the day with Pryde finishing with figures of 3-18 and Andy Matthews claiming 3-17 while Zac Bastin took 2-14.

Toongabbie would need early wickets to be a chance to win this game but they weren’t able to get the breakthrough at all as Lee Stockdale and Matt Dyke put on a magnificent 117-run partnership for the first wicket before Dyke was out for 36 to the bowling of Jason Veneman.

Jackson McMahon then came to the crease and finished the match off with the in-form Stockdale who ended up 79 not out from 112 balls.

IMPERIALS v YARRAM & DISTRICT YARRAM and District destroyed Imperials at Catterick Crescent. The flat wicket suited the Pelicans batsmen perfectly. Dylan Rash, coming off just three the week before looked like he had a point to prove as he opened the batting alongside Daniel O’Keefe, putting on 57 for the first wicket with Rash the main contributor making 42 from 32 balls.

O’Keefe was out soon after which meant Jarryd Swift and Jack Moore came to the crease and took the score up to 119.

A couple more wickets fell which then brought Anthony Scott to the centre. As he did the week before Scott played himself in and at one stage was eight from 20 balls but then once he felt comfortable he started to go and go hard, exploiting the strong wind and smaller boundary as he smashed his way to 97 from 56 balls.

Scott blasted nine fours in his innings as well as seven huge sixes which had local residents around Catterick Crescent ducking for cover. Scott took the game away from Imperials and was unlucky to not get his hundred as he just checked his shot to deep mid-off to be caught off the bowling of Scotty Aitken.

The rest of the Pelicans batsmen took the score up to a massive 8-260.

Aitken took 3-41 to be the best bowler for Imperials while new player to Imps Sam Morey took 2-62 from nine overs and Brad Sizeland claimed 2-12 from his 10.

It was going to be a mammoth effort for Imperials and as Ryan Morley was knocked over by Jarryd Swift for eight any chance Imps had of getting near Yarram’s total was gone. Josh Jennings was the best bat for Imperials making 23 before having to retire as Ross Williams was the only other batsman to make double figures, making 16 runs himself.

Jarryd Swift rounded out a good all-round match taking 4-27 with Joshua Swift and Griffin Underwood taking two wickets each.

Heavyweights square-off in Round 5 CRICKET TDCA

By TYRON BRAMWELL

ROUND 5 of the Traralgon and District Cricket Association features these matches.  EX STUDENTS V YARRAM AND DISTRICT

IN what will be the biggest match-up of the season so far, the dominant Ex Students take on Yarram and District.

Both sides, coming off sizeable wins last round, will look to keep their winning streak alive. But this won’t be done easily by either side, as both have a quality batting and bowling line-up.

Lee Stockdale is in some great form for Ex Students, and will be hard to get out this week, and his opening partner Matt Dyke will look to make his first big score of the season after having two starts this season and not going on.

Yarram will have quality batsmen Daniel O’Keefe, Dylan Rash and Anthony Scott, and a strong bowling attack of Jarryd Swift and Kelly Griffiths which will make scoring runs hard for Ex Students.

This is going to make for a quality game of cricket this weekend.

One to watch: Anthony Scott, who is on fire with the bat so far this season.

Prediction: Too close to call. Will come down to the wire.  GORMANDALE V IMPERIALS

GORMANDALE will be fired up this round, chasing their first win for the season, but this won’t be done easily against Imperials, who will put up a good fight.

Imperials, after getting a thumping by Yarram and District last week will be hurting, but this may be the fuel needed as they look to bounce back.

Imperials will need to post a good score to be able to have a chance, as the class batting of Chris Lehner and Nat Campbell for Gormandale will not make life easy.

Ryan Morley will need to step up and make a good score so Imperials have a player to bat around.

Campbell will be fired up to play against his old team and will definitely want to take home a win this weekend, giving Gormandale their first win for the season.

One to watch: Nat Campbell in action for Gormandale coming up against his old club.

Prediction: Gormandale having the home ground advantage will prove too strong for Imperials.  TOONGABBIE V GLENGARRY

TOONGABBIE will be eager to recover after their loss last round, but Glengarry will not make this easy for them.

Toongabbie only made 128 against Ex Students in the previous game and will need to up that to 180 or more against the experienced team of Glengarry if they are going to have a chance at taking home a win.

Glengarry will be fired up and hunting for their third win of the season and will also take mental notes from last week where they almost lost to Rovers and batted too slow during the middle overs.

Al Jenkin and Frank Marks, both coming off 40s will be looking at turning those into 50 plus runs this week.

But the quality left arm quick bowling of Toongabbie’s Keenan Hughes, and young gun spinner Matt Barry will make scoring runs hard for Glengarry.

Traralgon starts GCL campaign in winning style

CRICKET GCL SENIORS

By LIAM DURKIN

THE opening round of the Gippsland Cricket League saw impressive wins to Traralgon and Sale-Maffra.

TRARALGON recorded a resounding victory after posting 8-193 batting first against Warragul.

Captain Lee Stockdale led from the front, scoring 74 opening the batting with Anthony Scott who made a swashbuckling 37.

Some handy contributions from Jackson McMahon and Al Jenkin, who each scored 22 also helped the cause.

Dane Fawcett nabbed the key wicket of Nat Freitag, bowled for a globe, and at that stage Warragul would have been reasonably happy with where things sat, having Traralgon 2-68.

From there, a 66-run partnership between McMahon and Stockdale frustrated the Wild Dogs,

but they were able to take some wickets late in the piece to keep the Tornadoes under 200.

Warragul captain Sam Batson delivered, taking 2-28 from 10 overs, while Fawcett was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4-22 from eight overs, with three of the four being the key wickets of Scott, Freitag and Jenkin.

With a gettable total to chase, the Warragul innings started disastrously, as Jack Armour was bowled by left-arm quick Keenan Hughes with the score on zero.

Things did not improve much after that, and before too long the Wild Dogs were 4-32 and were eventually shot out for 88.

Only Sanjaya Gangodawila with 36 made any impression in the batting column for Warragul.

Wickets were shared in the Traralgon camp.

Michael Warne took 2-9, Jimmy Pryde 2-20 and Freitag 2-24.

SALE-MAFFRA elected to bat first upon winning the toss at College Oval.

Standard new ball wickets had Matt Dowsett and Rohan Blandford back in the hut early.

Taylor Tatterson joined Steve Spoljaric at the crease with the score 2-14, and the left-hand-righthand combination initially settled things down before working the ball around in the holding period to put on 94 for the third wicket.

Spoljaric departed for 37, and then a steady flow of wickets followed as Sale-Maffra went for quick runs, going from 3-108 to 6-136.

The Sharks lower order batted with Tatterson and scratched out some runs of their own towards the end to get to a final score of 180 from 45.3 overs.

Tatterson made 74 before being run out by a direct hit from Aydan Connolly.

Pace ace Madura Perera took 3-35 for Latrobe Valley, while Steve Warr did a tremendous job to take 3-25 bowling in the most difficult time of a one day match during the middle stages.

The Latrobe Valley innings started calmly enough, until Tom Morrison turned the game on

its head with three quick wickets. Morrison had Rob Webber trapped in front, and then found the edge of the bats wielded by Rhys Holdsworth and Liam Maynard to leave the visitors at 3-16.

From there, Ben Heath and Connolly went about stabilising the situation, and took the score to 80 before Sam Anstee had Heath out for 29.

Connolly continued on, and posted a half century on debut.

The brother of current St Kilda footballer Leo, the younger Connolly looks a player of promise.

Tim Fitch scored 25 batting at seven, but in the finish it was too-little-late and Latrobe Valley was bowled out for 153.

Morrison ended with 4-14, Dylan Bolton took 4-18 and Anstee collected 2-45.

GCL cricket continues this Sunday.

Traralgon will travel to Leongatha to play at Scorpian Park, while Latrobe Valley will get to put their feet up due to a bye.

Family reflects on fairytale moment HORSE RACING

By LIAM DURKIN

Fitting: Traralgon trainer Garry Douch and nine-year-old mare Ally’s Reward, which won on Traralgon Cup day in a race named in honour of Garry’s brother Allan. race panned out, I thought we’d be closer coming to the turn,” he said.

“Traralgon is hard to make up a lot of ground, it is not a very long run home so she had her work cut out. Then a fair way down the track (straight), I heard the crowd roaring and the broadcaster give it a big burst.

“It came out of the blue. For 95 per cent of the race I thought it was over, she wasn’t going to get there, and then in the last five per cent she just went bang. Nine-year-old mares, there aren’t many racing at that age, but she is tough.”

Capping off the win was a beautifully called finish by racecaller Adam Olszanski, who delivered: “Ally’s Reward’s coming now, this is fitting, going up on the outside, Ally’s Reward takes out the Allan Douch”.

In the immediate moments following the win, Douch said it all spilled over.

“It was pretty hard to control your emotions,” he said.

“I usually don’t get that emotional but with everyone around you, people you hadn’t seen for many years bursting into tears, even the clerkof-course was crying and the rider Nathan Punch said coming back from scale he had tears running down his cheek.

“It was a big result, very emotional for a lot of people in Traralgon, Allan trained here all his life.

“It was good there was a crowd there and a big percentage of the crowd were all cheering for Ally’s Reward and she produced.

“People are still ringing up, people you haven’t heard from in years, it is amazing, people from all over Australia you haven’t seen for 30 years saying how when the horse won they were sitting at home by themselves getting emotional.

“Allan was a very popular fellow, in the racing game for the best part of 60 years, you meet a lot of people in various walks of life, it is amazing how people are still ringing up.”

The Douch family and friends celebrated into the night, with the trainer shouting his grandkids dinner.

Douch wished to thank and acknowledge the support of all who have helped him and his family in the trying times since his brother’s death.

Ally’s Reward is set to see out the year racing on the Gippsland circuit, with the view to look at where things are at for 2022, while for Douch, it will be a matter of continuing his brother’s proud legacy.

Douch contemplated entering Ally’s Reward in the main event on Traralgon Cup day, before receiving the stable’s true calling.

“I was going to run her in the Traralgon Cup, but when I heard there was a big chance they were going to name a race after Allan over the same distance - there never was an option, she was only going to run in one race,” he said.

Harriers conquer course and elements ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By BARRY HIGGINS

MORE than 50 hardy – or foolhardy? – Harrier members commenced the 6km Doughnut Loop run last Thursday evening, unaware of the looming weather event. Fortuitously it was a three lap course around the Traralgon West clubrooms precinct, providing a quick return to shelter from the sudden thunderstorm.

The runners and walkers were either unaware of the approaching wild weather or expected to finish before the storm arrived.

A number did finish, just ahead of the fierce wind and hail storm, but others were ambushed around the course. When the gale began they immediately looked around to help anyone who may have needed assistance, or retraced their steps to support others back to safety.

Others sheltered behind buildings until the eye of the storm passed, and recorded lengthy finishing times due to their delays. Others did not register their times.

A number of new members, on their first run, wondered if this was a typical Harriers’ event!

Ahead of the tempest, equal fastest times for the night were recorded by Ironwoman triathlete and dual Traralgon Marathon winner Narelle Crozier, alongside veteran Melbourne Marathon finisher Glenn Graham. Fellow veteran Ian Cornthwaite and talented juniors Miles Verschuur and Marlon Mifsud rounded out the top fastest finishers.

IF you were to pitch the story of how Traralgon’s Garry Douch won his first race as a head trainer to a Hollywood scriptwriter, there is a good chance even they would dismiss it for being too unbelievable.

As far as sentimentality goes, those in racing, and indeed sporting circles would be hard pressed to find another victory filled with the same sense of destiny or romance.

Few could have predicted what was to follow after Douch entered mare Ally’s Reward in the BM64 Handicap on Traralgon Cup day.

Of the seven horses in the race, only two carried higher odds than Ally’s Reward, who at nine-yearsof-age was already seen as too old and too slow in the eyes of most punters.

As the 1900 metre race unfolded, a sizeable gap was established by the first four horses, and with 400m to run Ally’s Reward was still well back in the field and looked no chance of even claiming a place.

At that point most in the Douch camp were ready to concede - but then, something truly extraordinary happened.

With 200m to go, jockey Nathan Punch found an opening out wide, and Ally’s Reward found an extra gear to power to the finish and win by half-a-length from $2.70 favourite Be Alert.

The win was highly improbable, but what made it really special was the fact Douch won the race named after his late brother Allan, on the very same track his ashes are scattered on.

Perhaps the extra gear Ally’s Reward found in the last 200m did in fact come from above.

For Garry Douch, who runs a humble stable just a stone’s throw away from Glenview Park, to win at the same track his brother literally called home, with a horse no one gave much hope to, carried an incredible amount of meaning.

It was as if the milkman’s horse had won the Melbourne Cup. Reflecting on the victory, Douch, said it was a highly emotional time.

“It was a fairytale come true,” he said.

“Especially the way the race was run, she wasn’t entitled to win it from where she was, and she ended up running away … it was bloody unbelievable.

“The crowd was unbelievable, there was just that many people in the crowd crying, blokes and all, you couldn’t script it any better.”

Douch had an unbreakable bond with his older brother, and was by his side in all matters relating to the Douch stable for decades.

He was in no doubt as to where the Traralgon win ranked in his career.

“Over the years we have won a lot of big races but nothing compared to this - nothing,” he said.

“We have a lot of nephews who are trainers and former jockeys, my brother Des trains greyhounds, he rang me up and said he had never been so excited and emotional in his whole career - and same as me.

“It was one of those things you dream of you never think it will eventuate. To win on that day was bigger than anything you would ever dream up. It was only a 64-class at Traralgon but what it meant was just unbelievable - you’d walk over hot coals to see it again.”

Speaking on the race itself, Douch said pre-race expectations quickly evaporated until the frenetic final 200m dash.

“Prior to the race I gave her a hell of a chance. I knew she would be hard to beat but not how the
