“Our hearts go out to their families, friends and all those affected by this event, please support them now, as they will need you most.

“We lost two Wolves, two of the best.”

Trafalgar Football Netball Club, where Mr Semple played in two junior age premierships, also expressed its condolences.

“Trafalgar Football Netball Club send our love and support to the Semple family over the sudden passing of Will Semple overnight,” the club posted on its Facebook page.

“Will was a member of our 2018

fourths and 2019 thirds premierships and was a well-mannered, kind, happy and popular teammate.”

A floral tribute grew yesterday at the crash scene, located about 350m from the Boolarra Avenue intersection.

A third man who was in the car at the time of the crash sustained nonlife-threatening injuries.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, which took place in an 80km/h zone.

They have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident or with further information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or by submitting a confidential report online at www.crimestoppers.com.au.

TRIBUTES have flowed as freely as tears for two men killed in a car crash at Newborough on Saturday night.

Driver William Semple, 19, of Newborough and passenger Trent Felici, 32, of Moe died when a Holden sedan collided with a tree on John Field Drive, about 10.20pm.

Both men were members of the Monash Soccer Club, which led an outpouring of tributes from many in community on social media yesterday.

“Today we honour the memory of Will and Trent, beloved Monash Wolves,” the club posted on its Facebook page.

“These two represented the core heart and personality of the Monash club and we will forever be at a loss without them.

“Will, you had an amazing charisma and go-getter attitude both on the pitch and around the club.

“Always willing to take on extra roles and offer coaching ideas, you gave your all on and off the pitch to bring an amazing set of skills and ideas to the club.

“Trent, you were the heart of this club.

Opportunity knocks for magnesium production

By MICHELLE SLATER

Date confirmed: A parliamentary inquiry into the closure of the Hazelwood and Yallourn power stations will hold its first hearing in Traralgon on Wednesday, November 24. file photograph

Inquiry date is announced

By MICHELLE SLATER

A PARLIAMENTARY Inquiry into the closure of the Hazelwood and Yallourn power stations will hold its first hearing in Traralgon on Wednesday, November 24.

The Inquiry had so far received 41 received submissions from power companies, environment groups, unions and locals.

The committee is examining the impact of the closure of power stations on the economy and jobs in the Latrobe Valley, as Yallourn is scheduled to shut in 2028.

The Inquiry was moved by Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath and will explore the loss of more than 1000 direct jobs from Yallourn, as well as associated contractors.

It will also examine the effectiveness of the

Latrobe Valley Authority in helping the region transition.

The CFMMEU mining and energy division had described “the snowball effect” of Yallourn closing on the back of other major industry closures as “the economic straw that breaks the camel’s back”.

The union pointed out the flaws in a scheme devised to transition younger Hazelwood workers to other power stations and incentivise older workers to retire early.

It said both EnergyAustralia and AGL Loy Yang had failed to preference displaced Hazelwood employees in available vacancies.

The submission stated there was “no clause requiring participating companies to only employ from the pool of redundant ex-Hazelwood workers”, despite a goal to transition at least 150 workers.

“And no repercussions if they did not genuinely try to reach the schemes targets.”

The CFMMEU had proposed the state government could re-purpose Hazelwood and Yallourn into small modular nuclear reactors by 2030 to provide baseload power without emissions. Other suggestions included transforming the sites into gas plants to firm renewables, coal to hydrogen, or high efficiency low emissions coal-fired power stations with carbon capture and storage.

“There are more jobs in a nuclear power plant than a coal power plant so the economic impact on the Latrobe Valley would likely be economic growth rather than decline,” the submission stated.

“This new technology could create a completely new industrial hub to diversify the Latrobe Valley and could provide further education jobs, if training was setup with Federation University Churchill.”

Latrobe City adopts long-term plan

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council will lose approximately $2 million in rates upon the closure of the Yallourn Power Station in 2028, as outlined in a 10-year financial plan adopted on October 25.

Latrobe City councillors adopted a 2021-2025 council plan based on locally-led priorities identified in a 10-year community vision.

The 10-year financial plan was adopted alongside these, describing the resources required to give effect to the council plan, community vision and other strategic plans.

It outlined assumptions underpinning the forecasts and statements and impending financial challenges including loss of revenue from Yallourn and the renewal of infrastructure assets.

The financial plan has included an annual saving of $400,000 from 2022/23 for the following five

years to allow council to step into the full amount of the revenue reduction of Yallourn closing.

However, how council will achieve these savings has not yet been identified.

It also includes exiting the Commonwealth Home Support Program and the Home and Community Care Program for Young People from July next year.

The community vision was developed with the input of more than 1500 people complied into a report through Federation University.

This vision and plan includes 50 strategies including health and wellbeing, economic diversification, urban amenity improvements and enhanced connectivity between neighbouring towns.

Cr Darren Howe pointed out key strategies such as town entrances, rail trails, education, business opportunities, and access to arts and recreation.

“People want a secure future for their families here, one that will provide primary and tertiary services to the quality and breadth suitable for a large regional city,” Cr Howe said.

“Equally, the community wants a future of high levels of education opportunities to secure employments, economic and social growth.”

Cr Graeme Middlemiss said the financial plan did not consider unplanned events such as catastrophic floods or storms, but provided an estimated projection into the next decade.

Cr Middlemiss warned about the possibility of further early large industry closures, such as Loy Yang A or B, or the Maryvale paper mill.

“Nobody has a crystal ball, but this is our best attempt at a crystal ball,” Cr Middlemiss said.

“We’ve adopted the council plan and community vision, but now we have to pay for it if we want to be the most liveable regional city.”

A MAGNESIUM demonstration plant being built in Hazelwood North is planning to up production from 3000 tonnes to 10,000 tonnes a year, to take advantage of opportunities in global markets.

Latrobe Magnesium has existing regulatory approvals to go ahead with an initial 3000 tonne trial plant expected to start production in early 2023.

The company will be spending another $75 million on the plant expansion, taking the total investment to $123 million.

LMG chief executive officer David Paterson said they would have to seek further council and Environmental Protection Authority approvals to upscale production.

“So there is no delay to get the plant up, we will start with 1000 tonnes and then go straight to 10,000 tonnes, but we have approvals for 3000 tonnes,” Mr Paterson said.

“We have to make sure we get the approvals in within the next month, this is something we want to bring forward, this is great for the project as the number of employees in construction will go up.”

LMG has a 10-year supply agreement with EnergyAustralia to create magnesium from Yallourn coal ash, with plans to further expand production to 40,000 tonnes a year if commercially viable.

Local contractor RTL has already been signed on to transport the coal ash from Yallourn to the Tramway Road site.

Mr Paterson said there was already abundant supplies of feedstock laying in Yallourn ash ponds, with 1.5 million tonnes more to be added in the next seven years before the power station shuts.

Mr Paterson said the company was seizing upon global demands as major supplier China was downing its magnesium production, creating an impending worldwide shortage.

He said electric car manufacturers in particular were looking for magnesium to create strong and lightweight components.

Mr Paterson said the plant would begin by operating on gas-power and then move to renewables, in order to meet demands for low-emissions products.

“This is important for our longevity, some car manufacturers have zero emissions targets and these people want parts made from zero emissions products,” he said.

“Magnesium is the metal of the future. If we can get this up, we can compete just as well as anywhere in the world, and we can get other plants to sit around it, we will have the ability to grow other businesses.”

Old Gippstown volunteers People with a fondness for the past are showing the generation of today what the past was like, through their volunteer work at Old Gippstown at Moe. Volunteers are keeping pioneer skills alive by demonstrating skills and activating historic buildings to give visitors a taste of Gippsland’s history.

Old Gippstown is an historic town with a collection of 35 authentic buildings relocated from across Gippsland.

The buildings date from the 1840s through to the 1930s, and several buildings are classified by the National Trust.

“The volunteers of Old Gippstown do a brilliant job of preserving the history of Gippsland by maintaining old-time skills, preserving buildings and recording unique collections in the park. Without the volunteers freely giving their time and skills, history would be lost,” Latrobe City Council Mayor, Cr Sharon Gibson said.

“Former Senator John Madigan even donated three phase power from a pay rise he did not believe in to ensure the blacksmith’s forge could work.

As a blacksmith, he had tools on this working forge.”

Spanning eight acres, Old Gippstown has so many fascinating collections: one of the best collections of horsedrawn vehicles and farm equipment in Australia, a collection of items owned

by Yallourn’s first medical officer, Dr Andrew, and the Narracan Mechanics’ Institute library.

Among the 27 original buildings are Rhoden’s Halfway House, one of the few remaining Cobb & Co. inns in existence, and the Meeniyan National Bank from 1889.

Andrew Reddick of Old Gippstown said the volunteers felt a sense of contributing to the region’s future as much as its past.

“We only have approximately 10 volunteers and they’re an enthusiastic and busy crew,” he said.

“They do a variety of jobs, from assisting with maintenance tasks to cleaning and preparing buildings, and dressing up in costume to run events for school visits.

“We simply cannot provide a good experience at events without them.

They each have an activity, such as acting as a school teacher or a blacksmith, running old fashioned games or showing buildings.”

One of the volunteers is John Stewart, who has helped at Old Gippstown for more than 15 years and is now a blacksmith.

“I like Old Gippstown, I like the equipment and I like the company of the other volunteers. It’s important for the kids to see the old trades otherwise those trades are going to die,” he said.

Old Gippstown welcomes more volunteers. To find out more, go to www.gippslandheritagepark.com. au or phone 5127 3082

Local pollies against new Pandemic Bill

By MICHELLE SLATER

NATIONALS Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath has launched a parliamentary e-petition calling for a controversial pandemic Bill to be withdrawn.

Ms Bath is refusing to support a Public Health and Wellbeing Bill that recently passed the legislative assembly (lower house) and is due to be voted upon in the legislative council (upper house) later this month.

She labelled the Bill as “undemocratic” saying she will oppose it clause by clause “because it’s a complete overreach of political power”.

If passed, the new pandemic-specific laws would replace the current State of Emergency which expires on December 15.

The new legislation would allow the Premier to call a pandemic for three months with no outer limit on the total duration of a declaration.

The new laws would allow the Health Minister to approve public health orders on the advice of the Chief Health Officer.

It would also include an independent oversight committee made up of public health and human rights experts to review any public health orders.

“The legislation in its current form has no accountability and it’s based on a captain’s call,” Ms Bath said.

“It doesn’t allow for parliamentary oversight or debate, community consultation or transparent health advice. It even bypasses the Premier’s own cabinet.”

Member for Morwell Russell Northe had opposed the Bill in the legislative assembly, fearing it would give ministers “unfettered powers”.

“On principle, I could not support this, the way the government tried to bulldoze this thing through, it was simply undemocratic and unfair.”

Mr Northe believed the Bill had been rushed through the lower house with little time to consider “hundreds and hundreds” of pages of legislation before voting on it.

“Whilst I understand the government needs some powers to enact the State of Emergency – I’m not opposed to that – but what I am opposed to is such broad powers and seemingly no end date with these new laws,” Mr Northe said.

However, some crossbenchers including The Greens are supporting the Bill, as the changes would protect QR code data

Stage two work on bike park underway WORK has begun on Stage 2 of the Haunted Hills Mountain Bike project in Newborough.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing announced on Friday the work would add up to 15km in additional trails to the popular mountain biking track.

The project has been supported by $1 million through the Regional Tourism Investment Fund – Stimulus Round, underpinned by the Visitor Economy Recovery and Reform Plan.

“Tourism and recreation projects like this are vital when it comes to building regional economies, supporting jobs and creating new experiences for Victorian families to enjoy – it’s helping to make the Latrobe Valley an even better place to live, work, visit and invest,” Ms Shing said.

“Now is the perfect time to invest in tourism infrastructure projects and back our iconic attractions to become even more compelling drawcards for visitors as the state opens up.

“With Halloween just around the corner, it seems perfectly fitting to announce stage

2 of the Haunted Hills project, which will attract more visitors to our beautiful region, particularly those looking for an adventurefilled getaway.”

Once complete, the Haunted Hills Mountain Bike Park will become a gateway to the Central Gippsland Mountain Bike Hub (G7) - a collection of seven diverse Mountain Bike Parks in Central Gippsland.

The state government has partnered with Gippsland MTB, Latrobe City Council, Energy Australia, Destination Gippsland, Trailscapes, and locally based HCM Constructions to deliver Stage 2 of this project.

Stage 2 will also add new paths, picnic shelters, electric barbecues, a mountain bike skills area, bicycle wash, fencing and improved carparking.

Stage 1 of the park was funded by the federal government and is currently nearing completion.

It is expected to open for community use later this year.

introduces greater transparency and accountability.

Health Minister Martin Foley said the framework took the best components from Australia and overseas and “adds them to our already robust response”.

“At the core to this framework is accountability and transparency in decision-making, while ensuring public health advice is central to any pandemic response,” Mr Foley said.

Police said the 58-year-old was “highly uncooperative and abusive towards police and Ambulance Victoria (personnel)”.

The 58-year-old attended Latrobe Regional Hospital for treatment.

The 66-year-old was interviewed by police.

The incident is still being investigated by police, and intervention orders have been issued.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Morwell Police Station on 5131 5000.

Ruby’s dazzling feat

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

TRARALGON local Ruby Clegg has raised more than $2500 in the lead up to her Big Chop.

Ruby, 12, donated 42cm of her hair to Hair With Heart on October 17, raising impressive funds in the lead-up.

Originally, the plan was to just donate her hair, however when she realised others fundraised as well, she was quick to get on board.

Ruby’s mum, Kelly Clegg has been one of her biggest supporters throughout her journey.

“We just wanted to donate her hair first, and then once we started looking into it we realised other people fundraise while they do it, so she picked Make-A-Wish,” Ms Clegg explained.

“I just wanted to make other kids happy,” Ruby said.

On her fundraising page, Ruby writes that “losing your hair can have a negative impact on your mental health so I want to donate my hair so a wig can be made to help a kid.”

Make-A-Wish Australia have been operating since 1985, and have granted more than 10,000 wishes.

Make-A-Wish Australia chief executive officer Sally Bateman praised Ruby’s fundraising efforts.

“Ruby’s kindness to help other children is incredible and has been an inspiration to all of us. We are so pleased to see her beat her original goal, and so grateful for the support of her family in raising funds for critically ill children,” she said.

Currently, Make-A-Wish Australia has more than 800 seriously ill children waiting for a wish, due to the impacts of COVID-19.

The charity is the only Australian children’s charity that focuses exclusively on wishes.

Ruby had been planning to donate her hair since last year, and originally set her

Make-A-Wish goal to $1000. Once she surpassed that value, she raised the goal to $1500, not expecting to pass her extended goal.

“We didn’t really imagine that it would get to $2000,” Ms Clegg said.

“We are so grateful for everyone who donated ... it’s such a worthy cause.”

The fundraiser will remain open for about two more weeks.

Ruby’s family, friends and school teachers have supported Ruby throughout her fundraising, many making their own donations.

“My teacher made me stand on a chair and had everyone clap for me,” Ruby said.

The big day arrived last month when Ruby and her mum travelled to Salon Seven in Warragul.

Ruby said it was “scary” making the change from having such long hair to short.

“Until it was styled it was still a bit scary,” Ms Clegg said.

“Rubes hasn’t had her hair this short since she was about two or three.”

Chopping her hair off has come with other benefit too, Ruby reports.

Her hair now sits above her shoulders, and she is able to curl and style it - which she wasn’t able to do before.

“It used to take forever to dry and if you wanted to straighten it, it would take an hour ... it was just a messy bun for a really long time.”

The 42cm donated by Ruby will be enough to make a whole wig for a child experiencing hair loss, which was what she had aimed for.

Ruby’s family is proud of her achievement, however they say her donation is no surprise.

“I am super proud, but not surprised. Ruby has a huge heart she’s always thinking about everyone else,” Ms Clegg said.

New association is set to amplify voice of business

LATROBE City Council is creating a single business association to strengthen the voice of the local business community.

The Latrobe City Business Chamber will bring together local businesses and industry groups to create more opportunities for collaboration, advocacy and innovation throughout the region.

The move is being backed by existing business groups including the Latrobe City Business Tourism Association, Advance Morwell, Committee for Moe and the Traralgon Chamber of Commerce.

Latrobe City Mayor Sharon Gibson said the new group would bring the local business community together as one voice to achieve the “best outcomes for our growing regional city”.

“While the new association would be representing all of the businesses in Latrobe City, it would not stop the individual trader groups from operating, but would rather act as the parent organisation to complement the efforts of individual groups on projects that would benefit all,” Cr Gibson said.

The new entity will work with the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Latrobe City Council, the Latrobe Valley Authority and Regional Development Victoria.

It will connect businesses, offer targeted support and help showcase Latrobe City and the wider region.

Latrobe City is working with representatives from each of the groups to establish a governance structure of the new chamber and identify the top priorities.

Advance Morwell chairperson John Guy said the group had participated in the working party and supported a new regional business organisation.

“We will continue to work constructively to ensure it provides balanced representation across the municipality with a clearly defined role,” Mr Guy said.

“This will enable the Latrobe City Business Chamber to work effectively with existing organisations on broader issues, while allowing local groups such as Advance Morwell to support

SHARON GIBSON and represent their business and community members.”

Latrobe City Council is encouraged all local businesses in the municipality to join the chamber to ensure equal representation in all towns and localities.

More information will be discussed at the Latrobe City Tourism Association annual general meeting at the Morwell Bowling Club tomorrow (November 9) at 5pm.

Bookings are free by visiting Eventbrite – Latrobe City Business Tourism Association Inc Annual General Meeting.

Rental shortage in the Valley

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

NEW data has exposed a housing deficit across Gippsland, including the Latrobe Valley.

An analysis by One Gippsland showed a 34.46 per cent decrease in available affordable rentals in the Valley from the June 2020 quarter to the June 2021 quarter.

That is, “listings where lower-income household pays less than 30 per cent of its income on rent”.

This equates to a loss of 123 available affordable rentals over the 12-month period.

An overall 48.43 per cent decrease in available affordable rentals was also reported across the entire Gippsland region during that time.

One Gippsland’s analysis report, Affordable and Social Housing Policy Paper October 2021, examines several issues across the Gippsland region including homelessness, natural disasters, and family violence.

“We have a vision to build an inclusive, dynamic Gippsland that is a great place for people to live and work. The current lack of housing across the affordable and social sectors is proving a real barrier to positive regional growth,” One Gippsland chair Brett Tessari said.

“As our analysis shows, there is a continuing deficit of housing across the region and these shortages will require significant government investment,” he said.

COVID-19 has caused an increase in people moving to regional Victoria, with Infrastructure Australia reporting a 200 per cent increase in net migration from capital cities to regional areas in a December 2020 report.

According to One Gippsland “66,300 people made the move to regional living in the March 2021 quarter”.

In the report, One Gippsland suggested “to be able to meet these goals, assistance in fostering industry and providing adequate affordable and social housing options to continue to facilitate sustainable growth is required.”

Many services across Latrobe regularly see the impacts housing affordability has on people’s lives.

One such service is Morwell Neighbourhood House (MNH), which offers support for those experiencing poverty, disadvantage, distress or isolation.

“The prices of rentals has been a very big issue, it is a barrier to people staying in their homes and staying in rental properties ... people are moving out of metro into regional areas and pushing those rental prices up, but also buying those houses - to renovate or live in - and its taking them off the rental market, so there is certainly a shortage there,” Ms Lund said.

MNH runs a food bank for those experiencing food insecurity, which Ms Lund said is seeing an increase in people seeking help.

“We are seeing a number of families that are presenting as housing insecure, they’ve been moved out of their rentals or they’re unable to afford their rentals and they’re living in hotels or living with their families, or in a friends bedroom ... they’re finding it very difficult to find stable housing, and also to keep food on the table,” she said.

“Those that are living on government support payments and Centrelink payments are living well below the poverty line. Employment insecurity has had the major impact in us seeing a spike ... also the impact that the pandemic has had on people’s mental health and emotional wellbeing has meant that some people are not able to continue with their employment.”

Ms Lund said food insecurity is another growing issue in Latrobe.

“I think most services would say to you that they’re seeing an increase in people accessing services, and people that they’ve never seen before ... people that are now finding themselves in situations that they’re needing supports from welfare and charities,” she said.

‘‘

Unfortunately there isn’t enough public or social housing available to meet demand, which means people who are leaving violent situations are reliant on the private rental market ... and finding an appropriate rental for those with children and who may have pets can be very difficult.

KIM ADAMS

One Gippsland’s analysis report not only identifies the number of Victorians moving to regional areas as a contributing factor, but the region’s high rates of family violence.

According to the Crime Statistics Agency, East Gippsland, followed by Wellington and Latrobe have the highest rates of family violence incidents per 100, 000 in Victoria.

Gippsland Family Violence Alliance principal strategic advisor Kim Adams said family violence is the “biggest contributing factor to homelessness in Gippsland for women, children and men”.

“People who use violence often use coercive control to prevent their victims from working outside the home, so often our victims don’t have jobs or a long work history and may be reliant on Centrelink payments of some kind which haven’t kept up with the cost of living for the past 30 years,” Ms Adams said.

Ms Adams explained that housing has become an even more significant issue over the last 18 months.

“Unemployment was high in parts of Gippsland before the pandemic, with Morwell having 15 per cent unemployment. The pandemic only exacerbated this issue,” she said.

“Unfortunately there isn’t enough public or social housing available to meet demand, which means people who are leaving violent situations are reliant on the private rental market ... and finding an appropriate rental for those with children and who may have pets can be very difficult.”

services available for those experience family violence in the Gippsland region.

“Where possible and safe to do so, our family violence services try to assist those who experience family violence to remain in their homes, by helping them to increase their personal safety, including changing the locks and applying for intervention orders,’’ she said.

“There are also programs to assisting those who use violence to find alternative housing and link them in with support (services).

“When remaining in the home isn’t possible, many people and families may only need temporary assistance until they can secure other arrangements with family or friends and our services can assist with hotel and temporary accommodation options. Family violence case managers can also assist with rental applications, social housing applications and other supports to help people access housing for those who qualify.

“Some families may require support in crisis accommodation such as refuge, particularly if they are at high risk.”

Quantum Support Services Morwell is one of these services, and assists people across Gippsland.

Quantum’s executive director Cindy Pullar, said the availability of social housing and safe, affordable private rentals is limited in the region.

In order for a housing application to be considered “a person on Governmental income support needs to prove that rent does not exceed 30 per cent of their income. In most cases this is unattainable.

Property that does meet this income formula often isn’t a very nice or safe place to live,” she said.

At the Inner Gippsland Youth Accommodation Forum in late September, Gippsland Homelessness Network coordinator Chris McNamara said “the four main specialist homelessness services working with youth are Quantum Support Services, VACCA, The Salvation Army and Community Housing Limited”.

“These agencies have collectively worked with over 1700 young people over a three-year period that have experienced homelessness. Within the Inner Gippsland Region there is one six bed crisis refuge, 16 transitional housing properties, no dedicated long term social housing and a near impossible private rental market,” she said.

The state government last month announced funding of up to 300 million to fund about 1000 new homes across regional Victoria and are calling on all community housing agencies to put forward proposals.

RECALLING BERT COMMUNITY pages on Facebook are often a great one for uncovering some fabulous stories of the past.

The People of Moe, Newborough and surrounding 3825 area page featured a wonderful post from Les Gunn on a time when Bert Newton stopped at Gunn’s Gully.

To borrow a phrase from Molly Meldrum, do yourself a favour and take a look at the photos on the page.

FROM THE ARCHIVES THIS from I Hear Tell, Friday, November 15, 1991.

FOR someone who is not that keen on running a local footballer set a record time for the ‘‘mile’’ recently.

He was getting in some pre-season training by jogging on the outskirts of Traralgon where he became aware of a magpie looking for a head to peck.

As it flew towards him, he swooped down to pick up a big brown stick which unfortunately turned out to be a big brown snake.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he hurdled the snake safely and hot-footed it down the road, counting his blessings ... that is until the maggie hit him right on top of the head.

TWO Traralgon women have had a near death experience when a piece of timber from an unsecured load almost hit them.

Ann McClounan and her adult granddaughter were walking back to the car park from the Traralgon Racecourse COVID vaccination clinic on Friday, October 29, when they felt a “swoosh” past them.

“It was really windy, and we heard this swoosh really close to the back of our heads, and this board exploded on the brick wall beside us,” Ms McClounan said.

“We saw a workers ute come down, but by the time we realised what have happened we just saw the back end of him ... I don’t think he realised.”

The two women were physically uninjured, however Ms McClounan said it was a near miss.

She said the “hefty” piece of wood was about two centimetres thick and two metres long. It splintered into three pieces upon hitting the wall.

“We wouldn’t have had to worry about getting COVID, because we wouldn’t have been here,” she said.

Ms McClounan urged people to take care when securing their loads.

“Just take that extra time and tie it down ... it only takes a little extra time.”

n the western front the guns gu u fell silent at the 11th hour on the 11th of November 1918, sign gnifyi n ying i an end to the First World War, a war that claimed the lives of 61,512 Australians, and those that are perhaps first fii remembered on November 11 when our nation stands in silence.

It is not only Australia however who observ rve v Remembrance Day, it is also observ rved v in the United Kii Kingdom, Canada, France, South Africa, Aff The United States of America, Am m Bermuda, Ireland and New Zealand.

The ritual of observ rving v one minutes silence at 11am, was first fii proposed in 1918 and continues to be universally practiced on Remembrance Day each year.

This same day sees many Australians wear the symbolic vivid red poppy, which in soldier’s folklore represented the blood of their comrades soaking into the ground. grr The poppies grew grr in profusion amidst the ravaged battlefi fields i in Flanders Fields, and appropriately it became the symbol to represent the sacrifi fice i of life and bloodshed of warfare.

It was after seeing these poppies springi ging i up that Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired to write his poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’, a poem that remains forever a part of Remembrance Day. Poppies continue to be sold by RSL’s as a means of sayi ying i ‘thank-you’ and to raise much needed funds for valuable welfare work, and they continue to hold Remembrance Day Serv rvices v each year, at the 11th hour, on the 11th of November with local communities invited to attend.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. fii Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

Gippsland MP says net zero brings 2050 into sharper focus

By MICHELLE SLATER

MEMBER for Gippsland Darren Chester is working with Latrobe City Council and state Members of Parliament to secure extra funding for the region as Australia heads to net zero emissions by 2050.

The federal Nationals MP had gone into bat in the party room to support a net zero target to take to the Glasgow climate talks underway this month.

The Latrobe Valley’s big three coal generators will have left the market by 2050, with Loy Yang A and B the last to stand with an official planned closure in 2048, if not before.

Mr Chester acknowledged there was a need for “reliable, affordable energy” while also a need to “do our part to protect the environment for future generations”.

“We don’t need empty words and promises, we will need well-funded plans to develop projects that secure long-term, sustainable jobs in Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley,” Mr Chester said.

“My focus is always on respecting local workers and families and ensuring there are proper plans in place to provide new job opportunities when some of our traditional roles are replaced with new industries.”

Mr Chester said he viewed climate change issue as a social, economic and environmental challenge,

with opportunities for new jobs, pointing to the Coalition’s “technology-based approach”.

He this would require billions of dollars of investment, which was already being rolled out in Gippsland with large-scale renewables projects and the hydrogen from coal trial plant.

“This work needs to continue with a focus on regions that are most exposed to any economic shocks. Protecting as many jobs as possible in our traditional industries while we transition to new opportunities is the message I’m giving to the Prime Minister,” Mr Chester said.

Grattan Institute energy and climate change program director Tony Wood said it was imperative for the Latrobe Valley to start planning

immediately to help the community transition towards net zero.

He said there needed to be some leadership alongside local stakeholders such as councils, the community, businesses and unions. It comes as Latrobe City established a transition taskforce to advocate for bi-partisan support to minimise the economic impacts of a decarbonised economy on the region.

“In the Latrobe Valley there needs to be some hard thinking to be done and people must get on board to be a part of the solution and to have some difficult conversations. Some hard work needs to be done or it will be too late after Yallourn and Loy Yang are closed,” he said.

Locals left in the dark for days

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE state government is distributing eight-kilowatt generators and providing financial compensation to people in eligible areas still left in the dark after storms ravaged the community.

Parts of the Latrobe Valley had been without power for more than a week after a savage storm ripped through on October 29.

The generators had been supplied to those expected to remain without power into the weekend.

There will also be an additional Prolonged Power Outage Payment of $1680 per week for eligible people.

Budgeree man Mark Reynolds was without power for six days when several large trees took down powerlines and blocked the road.

Mr Reynolds said it had taken three days for Budgeree to be listed on the AusNet outage tracker and for contractors to appear after he spent up to two hours on hold attempting to report the fault.

It comes as Mr Reynolds was still clearing hundreds of tonnes of fallen trees after being hit by the June storms that left him without power for more than a week.

“I explained to AusNet that there were 46 people on our line without power in Budgeree, but no one

knew about the fault and that was the problem,” Mr Reynolds said.

“You normally assume it was reported and someone would come and look at it.”

Member for Morwell Russell Northe had been asking for the prolonged power outage payment to be reopened after hearing how locals had been affected by extended blackouts.

Mr Northe said he had also spoken with emergency management commissioner Andrew Crisp discussing systematic gaps in responses and warning systems.

“Our office has heard from families with newborn babies or older people who could not live in their house without power, who’ve had to find alternative accommodation,” Mr Northe said.

“There is a financial cost and also an emotional side, it’s important the government reopens a program like this.”

Recyclingweek a celebrationofAussie recycling

# $

GP1634526

PLANET Ark s National Recycling Week is celebrating a quarter century of helping Australians recycle by asking Australians to celebrate recycling in a way that is meaningful to them.

Whether that is by hosting or joining a recycling themed event, brushing up on your recycling knowledge or discovering new tricks to cut down on waste and improve recycling and reuse, it s all about celebrating the important role recycling plays in our lives.

Founded in 1996 as an opportunity for Australians to improve their recycling knowledge and build better recycling habits, National Recycling Week aims to help all Australians take waste and recycling issues into their own hands.

This year the campaign will seek to positively highlight the advancements we have made over those 25 years of National Recycling Week and raise awareness of the continued importance of recycling amongst the Australian public.

The advancements Australia has made in recycling since 1996 are something we should all celebrate as a strong recycling industry is highly valuable for both our environment and our economy, Planet Ark co-chief executive officer Rebecca Gilling said.

The pandemic has challenged the way we

live, work and interact with the world around us and has offered us the chance to build a better future. Now is the time to celebrate recycling and its benefits while recognising how we can further improve on our own knowledge and behaviours.

Planet Ark has a new Resource Hub with lots of tools and tips for local communities to get involved and many other fun and educational activities.

"

THE Gippsland National Institute for Forest Products Innovation (NIFPI) Centre is calling for further research projects supporting forest industries in the Gippsland region.

Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries Jonno Duniam said that around $2 million would be available under this call for research projects, to be leveraged by additional contributions from the forestry industry and research agencies.

“This is another chance for new research insights to drive forest and forest products innovation in the region, benefiting the forest industry not just in Gippsland but right across Australia,” Mr Duniam said.

“As a result of the first call for research proposals the Gippsland NIFPI supported 6 projects.

“These projects received approximately $4 million of funding through a combination of Australian and Victorian government funds, and funding and in-kind contributions from the forestry industry and research agencies.

“First round projects looked at a range of topics including the preservation of treated timber in bushfire prone areas, browsing animal management in planted forests, and fire performance of plantation grown shining gum.

“The Morrison Government is working with industry and the states and territories to prepare for the future as we continue to deliver on the National Forest Industries Plan.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said that research projects through the Gippsland NIFPI were supporting growth and jobs in the region and driving research and innovation for a more profitable and sustainable sector.

“The Gippsland region has a strong and proud history in forest industries,” Mr Chester said.

“Funding new research fosters new and innovative ways to grow these industries in our region, use our resources in smarter ways and

November 8 - November 14, 2021

Aries This week stress levels will be high and energy low, as motivation dips and frustration soars. Taskmaster Saturn squares your ruler Mars, which will certainly test your limited patience but – with focus and determination – you’ll navigate your way around any temporary roadblocks. Things improve from Friday onwards. Hopefully you’ll learn some valuable lessons – like slowing down, keeping things in perspective, and calming yourself within.

Libra The flowing Sun-Neptune trine is terrific

Taurus Stubborn, slow-moving Bulls prefer

Scorpio p Have you been procrastinating about an important issue? Or have you lacked the self-belief to push a project forward? It’s time to be bold, brave and proactive, as the terrific trio of the Sun, Mercury and mighty Mars march through your sign (which only happens every two years).

So make the most of this awesome opportunity, Scorpio! Confidence is in and complacency is out, as you go after what you want with plenty of passion, purpose and pizazz.

GGemini Your ruler Mercury hooks up

with Mars on Wednesday, which gives you the motivation to put ideas into practice. And it can also signal a fresh start involving health, work habits or pets. Some vigorous physical exercise will certainly help you bounce through the week with extra Gemini gusto and enthusiasm.

But if you don’t communicate clearly, then misunderstandings are likely (especially on the weekend). So think things through before you speak.

Cancer The planets shine a bright

spotlight on partnerships of the romantic, platonic, business and family variety. You are entering a period of nurturing old relationships and establishing new ones. So it’s a wonderful time to focus on friendships, shared hobbies, joint ventures and having fun. As Scorpio birthday great Robert Louis Stevenson observed: “A A friend is a gift you give yourself.”

But tread carefully when it comes to financial matters.

Sagittarius g If you stir up grievances

withh an old adversary this week, then you could find you’ve bitten off more than you can comfortably chew! The Sun trines Neptune (on Friday and Saturday) which favours balancing material and spiritual needs. Plus, when it comes to a frustrating problem, avoid quick fixes. You’ll find a satisfactory solution if you act on your hunches, do all the research that’s required, and look for the facts that are hidden beneath the surface.

Aquarius q Disruptive Uranus suggests a

Virgo g This week there’s a magical connnection between the Sun and Neptune, so there is much satisfaction to be gained through contributing your considerable talents to a worthy cause within your neighbourhood community. You really can make a difference if you think global and act local! But relations with a family member or work colleague could be challenging (especially mid-week). So make sure you pick your battles carefully and choose your words wisely.

Pisces This week the Sun-Neptune trine inspires you to contemplate and create your future. Whether you want to travel, build a home, expand your family or change jobs, begin with a dream and then work hard to make it a robust reality. Dreams are wasted if you don’t turn them into productive projects! But a relationship could experience problems as the Saturn squares boost impatience and heighten sensitivities. A healthy dose of Piscean diplomacy will get you through.

houuse move, home renovation, family fiasco, uninvited guests dropping in, a professional problem or a work-place drama. Whatever happens, strive to get the balance right between your public life and your private responsibilities. Just remember, when it comes to relationships, you’re not suited to ‘normal’ partnerships (whether of the romantic, platonic or business variety). For quirky Aquarians, ‘weird’ can be wonderful.

Second time around is a delight for celebrant

Capricorn Aim to be more proactive, especially when it comes to networking with friends and colleagues. And don’t let annoying disruptions get you down. No-one wants to be around a grumpy Goat! Instead of brooding when other people don’t understand what you want, tell them exactly what you need. And learn to delegate, de-stress and de-compress. Take some time off so you can enjoy doing the things you love. No-one (not even a capabble Capriicorn)) is indispensable.

Leo Many lively Lions are in for a magical

week, as the Sun (your power planet) forms a fabulous flowing aspect with Neptune. So it’s time to be the flamboyant and creative person you were born to be. That doesn’t mean there won’t be problems, challenges or frustrations along the way. But it does mean that your positive attitude and natural enthusiasm will bolster your spirits and enhance the lives of those around you. Prepare to sparkle and shine!

things to proceed smoothly, with no sudden surprises along the way. However, with Uranus still transiting through your sign, life continues to be a series of ups and downs. Singersongwriter-musician Neil Young (who was born on November 12, 1945) observes: “As you go through life, you’ve got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.” This week the focus is on relationships, conversation and co-operation.

Feel the love, Taurus!

for flights of imagination, ambitious dreams, creative projects and all forms of self-expression (especially art, music and fashion). However – with Mars, Saturn and Uranus disrupting your money zone – don’t blow the budget by indulging in an impulsive and extravagant spending spree!

This week you are faced with a stark choice, Libra … find clever ways to boost cash flow or learn to live within your means.

LOCAL woman Christine Skicko has been awarded Marriage Celebrant of the year in ‘Gippsland and Phillip Island’, for the second year in a row.

The 2021 Brides Choice Awards recognise businesses that “excelled and or exceeded a Brides expectation in the planning of their wedding”.

Ms Skicko has been working as a celebrant for seven years, and currently resides in Newborough.

She was voted in by the couples she works with throughout the last 12-18 months, and was “extremely surprised” she first time she won.

“It’s nice that you know your couples have voted for you,” she said.

Ms Skicko started her work as a celebrant at an unexpected time - after her own divorce.

“I split up with my husband, and it was something I always wanted to do... I’d seen a couple of people do it - and I thought, ‘I think I’d be good at that’.”

She was looking for something to do on her weekends, and eventually booked in and completed the course.

“It’s just such an enjoyable thing to do,” she explained.

“I can be a lot more relaxed about it, because I love it ... I get to be with people at their very happiest time.”

Ms Emma Dyer is a former client and said Ms Skicko was really easy to work with.

“I met Christine at the 2018 wedding expo in Morwell...I went around and spoke to people and came back to her, we had a connection and really hit it off.”

“She gave us a lot of freedom to do what we wanted to do... she was really flexible and clear.”

She said people who attended her wedding have since asked her for Ms Skicko’s contact details.

Ms Skicko has a theatre background, and currently works in admin and customer service skills she feels are helpful as a celebrant.

“I think it’s mainly about being organised, making sure you’re on top of everything,” she explained.

“I also don’t get nervous in front of a crowd, if things go wrong I can generally fix them, or fluff it until we get back to where should be “I think my theatrical background is a real asset, because I can project my voice, I know how to stand, I know where to stand, I’m always very aware of not being in people’s way... I have a very clear, nice speaking voice I’ve been told, and I get very involved with my people - I love them!”

Over the years she has acquired her fair share of hilarious and heart-warming stories.

“I did a beautiful wedding, it was out the back of Maffra somewhere on a private property, under the most magnificent oak tree you’ve ever seen... they had their dog there,” she said.

“The dog was really well-behaved, he was going has he was told. Then the bride walked down the aisle, and the dog walked right to the

front - and did the biggest poo ever. It was very funny, and it made some fantastically funny photos.”

Another wedding she attended almost ended in disaster when a groomsmen dropped the rings.

“I said to the groomsmen, ‘you’ve got the rings, haven’t you’, he goes ‘yep’, and with a flourish pulls them out of his pocket, opens the box and the wedding ring went down the crack in the rotunda ... they had to pull all the planks off and a guest had to crawl under with a torch to find it.”

Currently in the final months of planning her own wedding, Ms Skicko can “empathise” with her couples - many of whom have had to reschedule due to COVID-19.

“I think this year was even worse than last year ... people haven’t been getting a lot of new bookings,” she said.

“People were just too frightened to make the commitment - and that’s understandable, it’s a big expense.”

Ms Skicko feels the most important thing is to have a connection with the couple she’s working with.

“It’s very, very important that you can create a really nice relationship with your couple,” she said ‘I think, the most important thing to consider when you’re a celebrant is that you’re not the right fit for every person, and you can’t beat yourself up about that ... you have to have that connection.”

For couples, she said that trusting your celebrant is of the utmost importance.

“You’ve got to trust them, if nothing else you’ve got to trust them. You’ve got to trust that they’re going to turn up, trust that they’re going to turn up looking presentable, and trust that they’re going to deliver what you want them to.”

Ms Skicko also does other events, including baby naming and renewal of vows.

“Most of my business comes from word of mouth,” she explained.

“I travel all over Gippsland, I just charge more if it’s more than a 100km round trip ... I’ve done quite a few weddings in Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Dandenongs.”

With restrictions lifting at the beginning of 2020, the early months of the year were a very busy time.

“All of February and all of March I had at least two weddings every weekend - I was stuffed,” she said.

This year, the Brides Choice Awards were held on Zoom, which Ms Skicko said was “a bit disappointing, but couldn’t be helped”.

The ultimate measure of her success, however, are the responses she receives after each wedding, with Ms Skicko saying she relies on feedback from the couples and attendees to gauge whether she has done the best possible ceremony for her clients.

“At the end of the day... if I don’t get at least two people come up to me afterwards, I haven’t done my job right,” she said.

A fresh quad bike mandate

Tick of approval: Gippsland residents support the federal government creating jobs in clean industries such as green hydrogen according to new polling as part of the Blueprint Institute’s Voices from the Regions project. file photograph

Clean energy’s strong support GIPPSLAND residents support the federal government creating jobs in clean industries such as green hydrogen, according to new polling.

The finding comes from YouGov polling commissioned by centre-right think tank the Blueprint Institute.

Blueprint Institute’s Voices from the Regions project polled voters in nine regional seats with significant coal employment.

The seats included Gippsland, Flynn, Maranoa, Capricornia, Hunter, Shortland, Calare, Grey, and O’Connor.

The polling asked voters specifically about the policies and approaches they preferred around energy generation, coal, gas, clean hydrogen, renewables, and assistance to energy workers.

It found 84 per cent of residents in Gippsland including 80 per cent of coal workers and families - wanted the government to invest in new green industries such as green hydrogen, while 8 per cent opposed it.

The poll showed 77 per cent of Gippslanders agreed that building more renewables would create local jobs, while 19 per cent disagreed.

It found 73 per cent supported reducing subsidies for coal and gas companies and using the savings to invest in large-scale renewables.

It also found 76 per cent of residents wanted Australia to halve its emissions by 2030 to bring Australia into line with the US and UK targets, while 17 per cent opposed this.

Blueprint Institute energy researcher Joshua

Grice said the research was an interesting insight into local thinking.

Mr Grice said governments should listen to regional voices and consider opportunities in new clean industries, with continued debates on climate targets and regional economic diversification.

“The exciting reality of job opportunities in green hydrogen and renewable energy generation are clearly taking hold in the Latrobe Valley,” Mr Grice said.

“The research shows that the vast majority of residents in Gippsland associate green hydrogen and renewable energy with local jobs of the future.

“And even those currently working in fossil fuel industries want this investment to be an immediate priority.”

QUAD bikes must now meet new government safety requirements.

As of last month, all new utility quad bikes, whether new or imported second hand, must conform to the new mandate.

Now, all utility quad bikes must have a roll bar, or Operation Protection Device (OPD) and meet minimum stability requirements.

This standard does not apply to second hand quad bikes that are not imported, according to WorkSafe.

The Australian Government reports that more than half of quad bike deaths are cause by rollovers, often due to asphyxiation, crush and head injuries.

Through the use of an OPD, riders will be more likely to avoid injury or death as the bar will hold the bike off the ground in the event of a rollover.

According to the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) quad bike accidents cost over 200 million nationally each year.

The NFF supports the new mandate.

The changes were originally announced in 2019, with new rules rolled out first in October 2020, and again this year.

Safework Australia reported in 2020 that 152 people had lost their lives to quad bikes since 2011, 23 of which were children.

It has been estimated that hundreds of Australia’s present to hospitals with quad bike injuries each year.

In August 2021, Deputy Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Mick Keough said “the second stage requirements are absolutely critical for improving the safety of quad bikes and saving lives.”

“Suppliers have had plenty of time to make sure that all new quad bikes for sale meet all requirements of the Safety Standard.”

Gippsland Water aims for net zero by 2030

GIPPSLAND Water has announced it will aim to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

The announcement comes as the organisation joins 13 other Australian and New Zealand water corporations in sharing their climate goals in response to a global push for greater action against climate change.

Managing director Sarah Cumming explained the organisation would work towards achieving net zero carbon emissions 20 years earlier than its previous target year of 2050.

“We’re taking strong action now, to help preserve our precious environment for current and future generations,” Ms Cumming said.

“We’ll achieve this by moving to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2025 and driving net greenhouse emissions down to zero by 2030.”

Under Victoria’s water plan Water for Victoria, the Victorian water sector committed to leading

on climate change and setting ambitious reduction targets on the path to net zero.

“We’re already well on our way to reaching our first goal of reducing our carbon emissions by 24% by 2025, thanks to a large scale native planting project, solar panel installations and other renewable energy projects,” Ms Cumming said.

“We found that with ambition, effort and careful planning, we could go further and reach our targets sooner.”

Six of Gippsland Water’s highest energyconsuming sites are already solar powered, with more to come, including at the Gippsland Water Factory.

The Gippsland Water Factory site is already powered in part by a biogas cogeneration engine and a hydroelectric generator.

Gippsland Water is one of 14 Australian and New Zealand water corporations who have added their

voice to a global message that the water industry is tackling climate change, as part of the United Nations-backed Race to Zero campaign.

These corporations, supported by Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA), have partnered with UK Water in the Race to Zero campaign, which brings together the initiatives of the climate action community.

The initiatives represent 733 cities, 3067 businesses and 120 countries in the largest ever alliance of its kind, covering nearly 25 per cent of global CO2 emissions.

Members commit to transparent action plans and robust near-term targets.

WSAA executive director Adam Lovell congratulated the water corporations involved for their commitment to mitigating the impacts of climate change.

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

“Climate change is already causing irreversible harm. But it also creates unique opportunities.

The urban water industry is at the cutting edge of many innovations to reduce its carbon footprint like producing renewable energy from food waste, harvesting the valuable resources that can be recovered through wastewater treatment, producing green hydrogen and ammonia which can be used as green fuels, using significant land corridors and reservoirs for solar panels and transitioning to electric vehicles,” Mr Lovell said.

The Australian and New Zealand water corporation’s goals, including Gippsland Water’s, will be shared at the United Nations COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow from November 3-12.

Fresh legislation introduced aims to get lost pets home much sooner

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Animal lover: Grounded Paws Animal Rescue’s owner Shellie Chessum.

Rescued: 215,000 cats are registered with Victorian councils each year.

Management team are unable to easily identify their owners,” a council spokesperson told The Express.

“Latrobe City Council strongly supports any new measures that will help to reunite owners with their lost pets and reduce the anxiety and stress that comes with these situations.’’

The council partners with 20 animal rescue agencies, with whom they have formal contracts that meet current requirements.

or their partners, as required by the Domestic Animals Act 1994 (DAA 1994).

“During this time a photograph and description of the animal are posted on the council website in an attempt to connect with their owners,” the council spokesperson said.

Owner of Traralgon’s Grounded Paws Animal Rescue (GPAR), Shellie Chessum said “there’s always animals in the pound, sadly”.

“Most of the time, the two reasons why they stay in the pound for come to us is that they’re not microchipped or their microchip is not up to date,” she said.

Ms Chessum’s rescue group receives animals from Latrobe City Council, and the Baw Baw Shire Council, with their primary focus being cats and kittens. GPAR is very supportive of the new lost pets’ legislation, and hopes it will take pressure off local pounds.

“Especially around kitten season they (the pound) get absolutely slammed, but all year round they’re dealing with lost animals,” Ms Chessum said.

RSPCA chief executive officer Dr Liz Walker said “this is a great outcome for animal welfare and for pet owners in Victoria”.

“Enabling vet clinics and animal shelters to directly reunite animals with their owners without the need for an 84Y agreement with local councils would reduce the period of separation, avoid additional transferring of the animal and reduce the load on pounds,” she said.

From 2019-2020 the RSPCA reported receiving more than 112,000 animals nationally, 36.36 per cent of dogs were reclaimed, and only 5.47 per cent of cats.

“That is why Grounded Paws was created and why we work specifically with cats, is because they seem to be treated like disposable pets... you can get free kittens so easily, but there’s no such thing as a free puppy,” Ms Chessum said.

During kitten season, which extends throughout spring and autumn, GPAR has approximately 200 kittens come through the shelter.

Ms Chessum said there actions pet owners can take to ease the pressure on pounds and rescues.

“The most important thing - to take the pressure of the pound as well - is getting a microchip and making sure those details are up-to-date... it’s so easy, you literally just jump online and change it... that can literally mean life or death for your pet,” she said.

The proposed reforms also allow for circumstances in which lost pets should be handled by council, including declared dangerous animals and situations in which ownership cannot be verified.

“When a pet goes missing, it is stressful for the animal and its owners. This reform will make the reuniting of pets with their owners much easier and quicker, improving the welfare of all involved,” Ms Thomas said.

The changes are set to take effect by October 1, 2022.

LOST pets will soon be able to be taken to local veterinarian clinics and animal shelters instead of local councils.

The Domestic Animals Amendment (Reuniting Pets and Other Matters) Bill 2021 was introduced in parliament on October 6, and aims to reunite Victorians with their missing dogs and cats sooner.

The new legislation will allow veterinarians or animal rescues to directly return pets to their owners, rather than having to take them to local council.

It has been created to ensure pets are handed to their correct owners, and will include a “robust verification process”.

“We will ensure that lost pets are reunited with their owners sooner and reduce the pressures placed on councils by allowing vet clinics and registered animal shelters to play a bigger part in the reunification process,” Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said.

Currently, lost pets must be handed into the local council where the animal is found, or to vets or shelters who have an agreement under the Domestic Animals Act 1994.

The proposed reforms come after consultations with community and various stakeholders including veterinarians, councils, shelters, animal registry services, and animal rescue groups.

Dr Kerrie Piper of Trafalgar Veterinary Centre, said she supports the new legislation.

Dr Piper has been working in the region for almost 18 years, and said she has been working as a veterinarian long enough to remember a time before the current legislation was in place that required vets to return lost animals to the pound.

She explains that in some ways, the legislation helped stop repeat escapees - with the council having powers that vet clinics do not.

“When the (current) legislation came in and the shire became involved, they could keep track of how often they’re collecting these lost dogs, where they’re collecting them from, and then they can provide welfare checks on where the dogs are living,” Dr Piper said.

However, Dr Piper said that currently people are reluctant to bring animals they find to the vet, as they know they have to contact the pound.

“What we’ve found is, because of the legislation people don’t like the idea of the dog that they’ve found going into the pound... so we see a lot of lost animals posted up on social media and people tend to hang on to them... and that makes it even more difficult to reunite the dog or cat with their family,” she said.

“I’m hoping with the removal of the rules as they stand... people will again start bringing us animals so we can do the identity checks with the microchips and contact the owner directly.”

She encourages people “to make sure your animal’s microchips details are up to date and current - because the vets are going to be using microchip details to reunite the pets with their owners” In 2021, the state government reported an average of 665,000 dogs and 215,000 cats are registered with councils every year.

According to Latrobe City Council, an average of 4500 animal-related requests are received for the area each year, half relating to lost animals.

“Fortunately, most lost animals are reclaimed by their owners within 24-48 hours. Animals that are not registered or microchipped often take longer to be reclaimed by owners as Council’s Animal

Three unsung Australian heroes

families with tales of war, but mood-swings, coughing fits, stress, violent malarial seizures and so on are impossible to hide from children.

Without complaint the wives undertook to care for the children and their husband through whatever befell the family at any given time.

They were loving, kind, gentle, firm, calm and tough as needed.

They all maintained a sense of humour, maturity and dignity beyond their years.

It cannot have been easy at times.

As Australian governments slowly but gradually increasingly became aware of the impact of various war experiences they began providing some supports such as a TPI pension, soldiers’ home loans, repatriation services including health care (if the man could prove his health problems were caused by war service) and, decades-late, counselling for veterans and, eventually, their partners if required.

have benefited from some help to understand what it was like for her husband when, under 21 years of age, he had returned to her after suffering pneumonia following some level of recovery from mustard gas.

She could have found out what he had experienced in the trenches, its impact and how to help him process it all. He could also have benefited from that.

However, the culture of all of these times did not allow for men to talk about their stresses or concerns.

‘Real men’ did not need to.

Grandfather’s cousin, Sir Stanley Savige, founded Legacy which is a wonderful service for the wives and children of deceased veterans but the wives of living returned men were basically on their own.

These women knew they were lucky to have their men home – hundreds of thousands did not – and their gratitude was immense, but it meant they all had to cope quietly on their own.

Supporting a man with serious physical or emotional afflictions whilst raising a young family is a mammoth task.

Partner, lover, counsellor, nurse, help-meet, housekeeper and co-parent are each huge roles on their own, let alone with added complications.

The malarial attacks, for example, may not have happened every year, but when they did it was dramatic and exhausting for both husband and wife (along with sleepless children).

In between those attacks there were also stress-related heart

problems and long, arduous battles with the repat doctors.

If professional advocates, nurses and so on had been appointed to respond to the intermittent and ongoing needs of these men it would have cost an immense fortune.

Untold savings to the public purse have been made by the service of these three selfless women and all their peers over the last one hundred years.

It is lovely to think that, in general, life probably sailed along on an even keel for these families.

There were certainly times of joy.

The ongoing relief and celebration of the fact their men had survived and returned against the odds would have been an eternal comfort.

Setting up their own homes, the births of children and their subsequent development and various achievements in sport, school, the workforce, relationships and, in turn, the births of their own new generation of children were celebrated.

These women were steadfast, strong and supportive throughout their lives and the need for their comfort and support was never over.

They were ever the unseen and unacclaimed heroes of the post-war years. I hope they felt appreciated over their lives, in some ways, and felt acknowledged for what they have done for us – both family and country.

To the wives of Robert Francis Savige, Howard Francis Savige and Robert John Savige on behalf of Australia and our family, I salute you. Thank you.

for example, I feel compelled to acknowledge three unsung heroes of Australia’s wartimes and their aftermath.

Whilst there can never be enough accolades to do justice to the contribution, suffering and sacrifice of Australian service personnel, there are at least thousands of books, poems, songs, documentaries, medals, pensions, veteran support programs, cenotaphs, and war memorials which do attempt to address this.

However, I want to present three unsung heroes of those times.

They are Doris Hester Grace Savige, Dorothy Marion Savige and Maureen Savige.

When they were very young, these women all married men in my family who fought overseas in wars participated in by Australian forces.

Between them these men had seen service in France, Belgium, the Middle East, New Guinea and Vietnam.

Their enemies may have differed - the Germans, the Japanese and the Viet Cong – and the weapons used varied, but the impact of being in a theatre of war was huge for them all.

My grandfather, father and brother, like all soldiers, suffered consequences, physical and/or psychological, of marching in to do their duty as required by their country.

We will never know the full extent of what they witnessed nor of its impact on them and their families over the years that followed.

Those consequences variously included the lifelong effects of mustard gas, malaria, nightmares, Agent Orange, PTSD, stress, other poor health issues and, even once, being rejected by some of the populace and the RSL on return to Australia.

None of these returned soldiers were left to cope with these problems alone.

They had loving and caring extended families but even more importantly they had these three strong women.

They provided the men with love, comfort, caring, support and understanding.

They presented the men with their own children and stage-managed a settling back into a normal, regular pattern of life regardless of the personal privations at any given time.

The wives also managed to mitigate the impact, on the children, of having a father struggling to overcome his own individual journey to recovery over their lifetimes.

The men did not burden their

Commitment to reconciliation AUSSIE Broadband has launched its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) by commissioning a piece of art from renowned GunaiKurnai artist Ronald Edwards Pepper.

The company plans to hang the artwork across all three offices to mark its formal commitment to reconciliation.

Mr Edwards Pepper said the painting was inspired by the GunaiKurnai culture.

“This painting is about sharing culture on GunaiKurnai country and how can we move forward in a positive way for our next generation,” he said.

“This is the Brataualung clan group that we’re sitting on and that’s what I painted, so that’s the people sitting down at the meeting place talking about culture, and educating people through stories, art and culture.”

Managing director Phillip Britt said Aussie Broadband’s Reconciliation Action Plan is another step towards the company’s deep commitment to inclusion.

“We are keen to grow the knowledge, skills and confidence to work more effectively with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, customers, companies and communities,” Mr Britt said.

Aussie Broadband established a staff and community working group in September 2020 to develop the RAP and engage in activities to promote Aussie Broadband’s vision for reconciliation.

Mr Britt added that the RAP is a practical plan of action built on relationships, respect and opportunities.

“Part of the joy in building this plan has been the opportunity for us to develop closer relationships with First Nations Peoples and organisations, including those working for us and their allies, the GunaiKurnai people in our home base of Gippsland, and Reconciliation Australia,” Mr Britt said.

“We know that we have a lot to learn – and our learning will never end.”

The telco is working with local organisations GLaWAC (GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation), Red Dust and the Wirrapanda Foundation on a range of initiatives.

There are four RAP frameworks provided by Reconciliation Australia: Reflect, Innovate, Stretch and Elevate.

Aussie Broadband has chosen to develop a Reflect RAP, which sets out the steps to prepare

the organisation for reconciliation in future RAPs. Reconciliation Australia chief executive officer Karen Mundine said this Reflect RAP enables Aussie Broadband to deepen its understanding of its sphere of influence and the

unique contribution it can make to lead progress.

“Getting these first steps right will ensure the sustainability of future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives, and provide meaningful impact toward Australia’s reconciliation journey,” she said.

Hospitality focus of new package LATROBE City Council and Baw Baw Shire are being allocated more than half a million dollars each to help get people back into local bars and restaurants for summer.

The state government’s new $54.5 million Outdoor Economy Package will help businesses set up for street trading, and back councils to provide the infrastructure and support.

A new outdoor activation fund will help councils transform more outdoor areas as restrictions lift significantly as the state reaches vaccination targets.

Under the fund Latrobe City will receive a total allocation of $575,000 and Baw Baw will get $500,000.

Councils can provide immediate assistance for businesses to operate outdoors with new street furniture, landscaping, marquees, planter boxes and public art, and entertainment.

It also includes funds for local governments to establish semi-permanent and permanent outdoor precincts, and will help councils to waive permit fees and related charges.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said West Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley had “some of the best dining, retail, and hospitality experiences in the state”.

“Outdoor dining has already proven incredibly popular with thousands of patrons who embraced it with enthusiasm last summer,” Ms Shing said.

“As we open up again and prepare to welcome visitors from metropolitan Melbourne and interstate, I would urge as many local businesses as possible to access this support.”

Businesses, community organisations, notfor-profits and trader associations can apply for a $2000 grant to support outdoor hospitality and entertainment under a voucher program Hairdressers, beauty services, retail shops, dance studios and gyms will also be eligible to apply for vouchers.

It means they can join restaurants, cafes and bars in harnessing the opportunities of kerbside trading.

news Traralgon Netball Association annual general meeting

TRARALGON Netball Association has a message ahead of its annual general meeting: We need you!

After two years of challenging times due to COVID-19, connection to friends and outdoors has never been more important, particularly for the youth in our local community.

Junior sport is important for physical and mental health and offers a great opportunity for making friends and developing leadership qualities.

Overwhelmingly our netball community, with 500 plus players, has told us how much they have missed and how excited they are to get back - both players and parents.

In 2022, we are planning to run two seasons of Net Set Go (ages 5–10) and a Summer, Winter and Spring domestic competition.

We are also looking forward to reinvigorating our squad teams and player pathways programs with Netball Victoria too.

To make all these plans come to life on the courts (and at an affordable price), we need a committee to run the show and many hands make light work.

To be on the committee all you need is to have a little bit of time, a smile and to want to help our local kids return to sport.

And if you are a bookkeeper, love to organise meetings, work in communications or have a knack for fundraising you can support behind the scenes to reach our goals and keep your weekends free.

Hazelwood Health Study

THE Hazelwood Health Study is encouraging Sale residents who were invited to participate in their second round of lung function assessments to book their appointment.

Morwell residents, who were unable to participate while the clinic was operating in Morwell, are also encouraged to come to Sale to complete the assessments.

Respiratory scientists from the Study have been testing Morwell and Sale residents to find out whether exposure to smoke from the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire is associated with respiratory symptoms, or changes in lung health or asthma control.

Sale residents have been included as an important comparison community to Morwell residents who were more highly exposed.

However, the research also provides vital information about the respiratory health profile of the Sale community.

“We have had a fantastic response from both communities and thank the Morwell and Sale residents for their ongoing support, particularly with the recent COVID-19 lockdowns,” researcher Brigitte Borg said.

“But we still need those residents who have been invited to participate in Round 2 testing to phone our bookings team on 1800 985 899 and make an appointment.”

Play your role: Traralgon Netball Association is looking for people to be a part of the association. The association will hold its annual general meeting on Tuesday, November 9. photograph supplied Participation involves attending the Hazelwood Health Study Clinic at Central Gippsland Health Service in Sale for 1 hour and 15 minutes for a series of non-invasive tests administered by trained researchers in private rooms.

Participation also involves completing questionnaires either online or during the clinic visit.

Residents who take part in the Round 2 assessments will receive a $50 gift card for their time and inconvenience.

Morwell residents will receive an additional reimbursement to compensate them for the extra travel.

Information on how to participate is included in the mailed and electronic invitations that have already been sent out.

Testing in Sale will close by mid to late November so there is still a short time book your assessment.

This research is funded by the Victorian Department of Health.

Series, each workshop will focus on a specialised business topic, with the goal to support founders and startups within the region with the tools and insights they need to help their businesses improve efficiency and find continued success.

Startup Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley Authority identified a growing need for one-off workshops and informative sessions for local entrepreneurs, in conjunction with the formal programs which are run throughout each year.

“Startup Gippsland loves being involved in encouraging and supporting confident and capable entrepreneurs and business owners. The startup masterclasses will be an energetic program that help Gippslanders strengthen their business skills and networks,” Startup Gippsland program director Stephen Angus said.

The workshops will be run in a number of Gippsland LGA’s, and will focus on key topics such as finance, business planning, hiring staff and developing company culture, writing proficiency, including media releases and process documentation, raising capital, and much more.

Each session will be facilitated by local industry experts, and delivered at no-cost to the participant.

The Startup Masterclass Series will conclude with an exciting networking event in June, following the delivery of each workshop.

This will bring together leading industry experts from across Gippsland and beyond, and give local founders and startups the opportunity to expand their networks and further develop their business knowledge and skills.

“The Latrobe Valley Authority is proud to support this important masterclass series. This is a great opportunity and I encourage business owners to participate and help build business growth and drive our economy forward,” Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer Karen Cain said.

Kickstarting the series will be the “Finance Made Simple” workshop, held on Wednesday, November 17 in Warragul.

Stuart Kendall of Pursuit Advisers is facilitating the session, and will be covering a number of topics including financial strategies, setting budgets and income goals, creating cash flow projections, and financial reporting.

This workshop will leave participants feeling confident and capable in managing their finances, and making informed decisions to grow their business.

Registration is now open for the “Finance Made Simple” workshop.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK RIDLEY ROAD ABC TV, Saturday, 8.20pm

Based on Jo Bloom’s hit novel, you can expect an edge-of-your-seat thriller that ticks all the boxes, featuring romance, a period setting and espionage. To top it off, the story is loosely based on real events. It’s the kind of show that you could easily find yourself bingeing on all four episodes in one sitting – you’ve been warned. Starring Rory Kinnear (Black Mirror), Tamzin Outhwaite (New Tricks) and captivating newcomer Agnes O’Casey, Ridley Road is soapishly compelling from the get-go. In 1960s London, a young, soon-to-wed Jewish hairdresser risks her life when she joins an underground movement trying to stop the rise of the far right.

BLITZ SPIRIT WITH LUCY WORSLEY SBS, Friday, 8.30pm

The saying “keep calm and carry on” – seen on tea towels and posters in kitchens and living rooms worldwide – is simply a motivational phrase for some. Indeed, it may be a shock to learn the saying’s origins in this gripping documentary presented by historian Lucy Worsley (pictured).

Used in British propaganda material during Hitler’s relentless bombing campaign in the UK, known as the Blitz, the words take on a much darker meaning. Worsley explores the lives of six real people who lived, worked and volunteered during the Blitz, using archive material to reveal the myth behind the Blitz spirit.

NOUGHTS AND CROSSES ABC TV, Sunday, 9.35pm

THE BACK SIDE OF TELEVISION SBS Viceland, Monday, 9.20pm

Sometimes, it’s hard to know whether to cringe or be thrilled by another series based on a great book.

Normal People recently proved how expertly the tricky adaptation process can be done, but the jury’s out on this reworking of Malorie Blackman’s acclaimed book in which racism is inversed. The premise of an alternate world where Europe has been colonised by black people is arresting but this six-episode series never seems to shift gear out of the young adult genre. In the second instalment, the Romeo and Julietesque Callum and Sephy (Jack Rowan and Masali Baduza, both pictured) are desperate to be alone together.

Here’s a great new three-part series that dusts the cobwebs off the weird and downright misjudged moments in Australian TV history.

It’s not a celebration of the most terrible soundbites, but rather an insightful and humorous exploration of what happened, and why. Hosted by comedian Mitch McTaggart (pictured), it’s a shrewd look at the worst on the box throughout the past 70 years. In this premiere episode, many things are explored including how true crime has gotten worse, how psychics are never much help, and which network is preoccupied with missing British tourist Peter Falconio. It’s fascinating stuff.

OSMI Australia and Cubico Sustainable Investments are calling for applications for funding from the 2021 Delburn Wind Farm Pre-Development Fund.

The focus for the allocation of the $20,000 fund has been discussed with the Community and Stakeholder Consultative Committee, which will support OSMI and Cubico in the evaluation process for grant applications.

Given the devastation caused in the region by the storms experienced in June 2021, it has been agreed that preference will be given to projects which support the repair of community infrastructure damaged by the storm or flooding or that improve community resilience in the event of natural disasters.

OSMI and Cubico are open to projects that are co-funded.

In addition to the focus on storm recovery and improved community resilience, projects will be viewed favourably if they contribute to:  Building sustainable communities;  Enhancing community safety, health and wellbeing;  Supporting community education; and/or  Enhancing the natural environment.

This is the second round of community support funding from the Delburn Wind Farm, with more to follow during the construction and operations phases of the project.

Enquires about the fund can be directed to contactus@osmi.com.au, 1800 676 428 or in OSMI Australia’s Mirboo North office at 52 Ridgway (which will be open in line with COVID19 restrictions).

Rosedale’s Archibald exhibition

THE Opal Australian Paper Tyers Art Festival – Online Exhibition is now live and can be accessed at tyersartfestival. com.au This year’s online exhibition will include 257 artworks from 85 artists across a range of mediums.

The uncertainty created by COVID-19 led the Tyers Art Festival Committee to again make the difficult decision, following on from 2020, to run this year’s Opal Australian Paper Tyers Art Festival as an online exhibition and the committee is excited with the positive response they have received from artists from across Gippsland and beyond.

Artists have indicated they are excited to have the opportunity to showcase their work, which has been difficult to do over the past 18 months, with so many art exhibitions unable to run.

“We have been quite overwhelmed with the positive response and support we have received from artists and sponsors for our online exhibition in 2021,” event director Peter Harrison said.

“So many of our artists have expressed their joy and excitement at the opportunity to again place their artwork on display. Additionally, we have had many of our sponsors, despite the difficulties of the last 18 months, offer their support to the Opal Australian Paper Tyers Art Festival to ensure its success and we thank them for their continued support.

Our Entries is a portrait exhibition from Gippsland artists who have entered the Archibald in previous years but have been unsuccessful in getting short listed.

This once in a lifetime opportunity will give you the chance to see the quality of Gippsland artists’ work. It will also show you how difficult it must be for the Archibald judges to choose which paintings will be short listed.

The short-term gallery will be opened for the seven weeks while the Archibald is in Sale until November 21, 2021.

The gallery will be opened each Saturday and Sunday between 10am to 5pm and will be fully manned by our team of volunteers.

Government to deliver swimming catch-up THE state government has announced help for students who missed out on swimming lessons during the pandemic.

Parents of students at government and catholic primary schools, who missed out on practical swimming lessons in 2021, may be eligible to receive a voucher.

The vouchers can be redeemed for swimming lessons under the schools usual swim school, and parents will be able to book lessons.

This is intended to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn swimming and water safety skills, and help students catch up as restrictions ease.

Life Saving Victoria has also designed a new interactive in class program set to begin this term, which aligns with the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework.

“As we reopen our state, we want families to get back out to the pool and the beach throughout summer – and we’re investing to make sure every Victorian child has the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe in the water,” Education Minister James Merlino said.

“School swimming is always a highlight of the school year – and we don’t want any student to miss out on the fun and the vital education that our water safety programs provide.”

During the pandemic, students have been able to engage with online resources to help them build their knowledge of the water while pools remained closed.

Since 2017, the state government have invested more than $101.5 million in swimming and water safety education programs in schools.

Charity is as busy as ever

By MICHELLE SLATER

A TRARALGON-based rural charity estimates farming families hit by the 2019-2020 summer bushfires will continue to need help with food relief into the next three or four years.

Gippsland Farmer Relief is still helping out about 100 farming families around East Gippsland who are battling to get back on their feet after bushfires tore apart the region nearly two years ago.

GFR chairperson Bill Maddocks said some farmers in the region were still recovering from a “double whammy” of fires and severe drought.

“And this will last quite some time. Demand for our services had begun to diminish west of Sale, but we are still assisting families in east Gippsland as the drought has not quite eased,” Mr Maddocks said.

“We will continue to deliver monthly food

hampers into East Gippsland until they no longer need our support. Our job is to do ourselves out of a job.”

GFR was formed in 2016 out of concerns for farmer wellbeing in the milk price crash, in which a band of volunteers started delivering food hampers to needy families.

However, ongoing droughts and natural disasters had increased demand with hampers continuing being sent across the breadth of Gippsland.

There are now 60 active members who pack and deliver hampers, with a central depot in Traralgon.

Mr Maddocks joined the group at its inception with his wife Val after watching the conduct of the big dairy processors.

“I thought what Murray-Goulburn did was criminal to claw back money,” he said.

“I saw a farmer’s milk cheque for once cent for

all the milk he had delivered, and these buggers walk away with millions. It was just disgraceful.”

Mr Maddocks took the reins of the volunteerrun not-for-profit last year in the midst of COVID lockdowns. He said early panic buying made it hard to source regular food staples or toilet paper, but they entered into an agreement with Woolies to surpass purchasing limits to get through the pandemic.

But he said it also meant volunteers had to abide by COVID safe contactless delivery and were unable to stop and have a yarn with families.

“People need the face-to-face meeting with our volunteers and other agencies helping out. The fact they know people still care, farmers are a resilient lot but they still need that help,” he said.

“But we maintain strict confidentiality with our farmers.”

New amenities plan for Erica Caravan Park

ERICA Caravan Park is finalising plans for a new all amenities block.

Aided by funding from the Baw Baw Shire, park owners are “excited” about what the new facility means for patrons.

Bec and Trev Closter have owned the park since 2018, and have since battled bushfires, floods and COVID-19.

They are looking forward to providing inclusive amenities for their many visitors.

The new facility will be one room - large enough to fit multiple people - and includes a shower, toilet, basin, change table and ramps for wheelchair access.

Ms Closter explains, especially for parents and the elderly, camping can be difficult without the right facilities.

Re-unite and celebrate!

be afraid to go outside your boundaries and your limits and give something a go – you might love it”.

Due to current restrictions, the park is operating at half capacity, with only every second campsite occupied.

Normally, the park operates with 25 powered sites, 20 unpowered sites, and six cabins.

They catered for anywhere between 800-1000 people a year before the pandemic.

During lockdowns, Ms Closter said it was “awfully lonely”, and “the sound of kids’ laughter and chatter is so nice after a year and a half”.

While the owners were hopeful the new amenities would be ready by Christmas, it is now looking like they will be ready in late March 2022.

“It’s harder and harder to find places where either a male can go in and help a female, or vice versa, or parents can go in and help children,” she told The Express.

Safety and security for families is also important for Ms Closter.

“I don’t think it should matter if you’re male or female, or however you identify, you should be able to go in with your children to be able to help them” she said.

The owners praised Baw Baw Shire for their help with acquiring funding, and said seeing the project finally come to fruition is “just a phenomenal feeling”.

Gippsland gears up for hydrogen GIPPSLAND could become Australia’s leader in the development of hydrogen-based industries as the region rapidly transitions from brown coal power generation to renewables.

An agreement signed between Gippsland Circular Economy Precinct Pty Ltd, (GCEP) and H2X Global Ltd, has set in motion an ambitious plan to manufacture hydrogen fuel cells, electrolysers, hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles and a range of hydrogen power units, including generators and emergency power supplies.

GCEP is a consortium of Gippsland-based businesses.

GCEP executive director Brett Singh said while he was unable to release details of the manufacturing sites and what they might look like just yet, they would be located in Gippsland, utilising technologies not currently available in Australia.

He said the project had the potential to create 5000 jobs in the region Mr Singh said Gippsland’s high level of engineering, power generation and manufacturing expertise was a major factor in the decision to establish the centre of excellence and renewables precinct in the area.

GCEP chief executive officer Scott McArdle and executive director King Arthur said strong corporate players were being attracted to Gippsland to renewable opportunities.

They said the community support had also been strong, and need for jobs and industry transition was “extremely important”, adding signing the agreement with H2X Global – an international leader in the development and manufacture of fuels cells and hydrogen powered vehicles and machinery – would help to fast-track the plans for the Gippsland precinct and the overall economy of the region.

The H2X product range includes utilities, vans, trucks and buses. H2X has developed its own highly efficient hydrogen fuel cell technology and hydrogen power trains to install into its vehicles and machinery.

The company recently engaged in a strategic partnership with listed hydrogen producer Pure Hydrogen.

H2X chief executive officer and founder Brendan Norman described the Gippsland venture as “one of the most exciting opportunities to build a successful hydrogen economy” that he had seen.

“This is a great opportunity for Gippsland to engage with hydrogen technology and provide new enterprises new jobs and training in support,” he said.

“We aim to assist in establishing Gippsland as the world’s preeminent location of green hydrogen excellence.

“We are now investigating a number of manufacturing options including fuel cell production and some vehicles.”

The Gippsland Circular Economy Precinct Pty. Ltd. is a partnership between Gippsland businesses Marathon Group of Companies, Ferguson Civil, Solis RE and Nexsys Industries Consulting, which have built a strong consortium approach to developing an integrated hydrogen economy in the region.

The members of GCEP, (via Solis Gippsland Projects) have also originated several renewable energy projects in the Gippsland region, including the Perry Bridge Solar Farm, Fulham Solar Farm and the Gippsland Renewable Energy Park.

It has successfully fostered significant investment into the region through securing Octopus Investments Australia and the Clean Energy Finance Council as investment partners which have now wholly acquired the Perry Bridge and Fulham Solar Farm projects.

These projects are currently working through electricity off-take opportunities to support green hydrogen initiatives with the GCEP team.

The GCEP project will also provide a strong regional hydrogen value chain leading into a large hydrogen facility proposed at the Gippsland Renewable Energy Park and other proposed local hydrogen facilities in the region, including Port Anthony.

Operation Christmas Child THROUGH this rather disjointed year due to COVID-19, a group of Grade 5/6 students at South Street Primary School in Moe embarked on a project called ‘Operation Christmas Child’.

The project was undertaken with the purpose of bringing excitement and care to children their age who live overseas in war-torn countries or who are affected by earthquakes, floods and have been displaced from their families.

The students have packed special shoe boxes with quality gifts to show the children they are cared about.

This could possibly be the only Christmas gift they will receive.

The gifts are a tangible way of saying ‘we care’.

The whole school community participated by donating soft toys, knitted finger puppets, stationary and hygiene items.

The school held an ‘in-house raffle’, the proceeds of which enabled the students to do a local shop to buy their quality items to add to the shoe boxes.

Enough money was also raised for postage.

The group was grateful for the support of parents, staff and students to enable this project to be successful.

Those children in need will be very happy to receive a special gift at Christmas time.

Boundary changes are welcomed CONGRATULATIONS and thanks are due to those who fought hard for the Moe/Newborough state electoral boundary reunification. Their split never made sense when implemented for the 2014 election - with Newborough sent packing for the Morwell electorate and Moe remaining isolated in Narracan.

It’s fantastic the pair have finally been reunited. Independent Russell Northe will have some work to do repairing the damage, but support should be within comfortable reach should he run again for the seat next November.

Thanks also to Latrobe City Council.

The installation of a biogas generator at the Traralgon landfill is a prudent move forwarded.

Any capital investment that can produce a financial return within two years should be jumped at, even moreso one that turns waste into energy. Well done.

And a further show of appreciation to this paper - The Latrobe Valley Express.

Your newly revised weekly format, with provision of additional content, is a welcome lift to news and journalism in the region.

It is a positive and proactive change for the better. Thank you.

In these challenging times it’s reassuring to see so many small, but impactful positive changes happening around our region.

Many ones make a tonne.

Credit where credit is due.

RE: ‘Cows for careers a winner’, The Express (1/11/21) As a matter of balance, I get the distinct impression that the farmer pictured and the dairy industry, either ignore or have not objectively considered any aspect of the scientific literature relating to dairy and human health; particularly views not sponsored by the industry.

The largest epidemiological project on human nutrition, (The China Study by Dr T C Campbell, PhD), points out the dangers of bovine dairy consumption.

It is the leading cause of allergies, lactose intolerance causing bloating, diarrhoea and gas, and offers little if any protection for bone health.

Dairy has zero fibre, is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, increases the risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers, asthma, cognitive decline, and heart disease.

Multiple such science-based studies offer unbiased facts.

Verifiability is a virtue of high standard compared to what is effectively product promotion from a struggling dairy industry.

David Gillespie, Warragul.

Hot air and methane

ONE hundred nations have committed at the Glasgow climate conference to cut methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.

But Australia, together with China, Russia and Iran, has refused.

Why are we refusing to cooperate, and what is methane?

Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

Unlike carbon dioxide, it is short lived, warming the planet for about twenty years before breaking down. Since most calculations of global warming are calculated on 100 years of emissions, it has not been considered so dangerous – over a century.

But we don’t have a century. The science is clear – we need to cut emissions, and particularly methane, by the end of this decade, not 2050 or 2121. Why wouldn’t we cooperate with that?

Money, of course. Australia’s 100 million cattle and sheep are the problem. Research in the International Journal of Climate Change makes it clear that, measured over twenty years, animal agriculture, including deforestation for pasture, savannah burning and cattle/sheep enteric fermentation, is the source of over half Australia’s total emissions.

Despite some sleight of hand from the meat corporations claiming that they are aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030, the Deputy PM let the cow out of the bag this week, saying that the only way to reduce methane by 30 per cent by 2030 would be “to go grab a rifle (and) start shooting your cattle.”

Not true of course. At any one time, around half of the cattle in Australia are less than a year old.

Stop eating them and buying milk and farmers will stop breeding them.

That will immediately and dramatically reduce both the toxic clouds of methane, and the political hot air. And what better time to do it than November – World Vegan Month?

Spooky season

Scary: Kimberly Croft won best dressed.

Winners: The Fowler Unit was awarded Best Display.

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

ROYAL Freemasons Moe hosted a Halloweenthemed competition on Friday, October 29.

In the lead up to Halloween, staff decorated their offices with all things spooky. Cobwebs, fake blood, skulls and pumpkins littered the halls.

On the Friday before Halloween, the staff engaged in festivities, hosting several competitions including Best Dressed and Best Unit Display competition.

Clinical Care manager Nikki Pearless and Care and Income Support co-ordinator Whitney Uchtman were the judges, and eventually picked the stand outs of the day.

The winner of Best Dressed was nurse and team leader Kimberly Croft, who dressed up in a gory nurse uniform, her white apron was smeared with fake blood.

The facility’s Fowler Unit won Best Display.

Their reception desk was adorned with hanging skeletons, cobwebs and creepy clowns.

“We have staff that have really gotten into the

Spooky: The Waters Unit was another standout display. theme ... we’ve got witches and zombies running around,” Ms Pearless said.

She said the staff and residents have enjoyed the initiative.

“They’ve enjoyed it, they’ve had a ball.”

“Some people have gone above and beyond, the staff have spent their own money to decorate, it hasn’t been funded.”

There were prizes awarded for each category, including vouchers up to $50.

Ms Pearless said the themed month is a way to bring the community Halloween festivities inside, “instead of looking at the same four walls.”

The pandemic has been a difficult time for the aged care community, especially for the residents, she explained.

“It has been really isolating for them.”

The initiative has boosted morale, and the facility has decided to continue costumes and decorating into the upcoming months.

November will be an Enchantment theme, with staff members beginning to prepare before Halloween was over.

“We’ve already starting getting fairies and unicorns and things like that ... stockpiling things ready to go up on Monday.”

After Enchantment month, the facility will be decked out in a Christmas theme for all of December.

“We’re trying to bring life into the place, rather than looking at the same walls and same nurses stations,” Ms Pearless said.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

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

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

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1971

FIRE RAZES STOREROOM

Fire in the main storeroom of a Traralgon company caused damage yesterday morning estimated to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Traralgon Fire Brigade was called to the storeroom of the Gippsland Cement and Lime Company, Traralgon, at 1.45am and saw flames coming through the roof.

The large store, which was about 215 by 70 ft, was built of brick, with a concrete floor, steel trusses and an iron roof.

PAROCHIALISM IS UNWANTED

EDITORIAL Many people and, unfortunately, some organisations in the Latrobe Valley seem to have overdeveloped their sense of community to such a degree they have lost perspective and have become embroiled in parochialism of the worst type.

The Latrobe Valley is an urban area of 60,000 people, not just a collection of towns.

If developed as a region, it could rival Geelong or the Wollongong area of New South Wales.

The Latrobe Valley needs a sense of community, a desire to see the area become prosperous, develop to its full potential and provide a satisfying environment to raise a family.

This is essential.

However, the Latrobe Valley does not need parochialism.

Parochialism in a town breeds suspicion that other areas in a region are gaining more benefit from projects catering for the whole area.

It causes an ingrowing of the mind to the extent that if something is outside the narrow view of your own small community, it does not exist.

The end result is that a community becomes insular – a land-locked island.

This has not happened in the Latrobe Valley yet … but it could.

The Advance Latrobe Valley Association (ALVA) is facing extinction, partly because it is a regional concept and many people who could become involved in it to help try to make it a success cannot forget their intercommunity rivalries and instead fence-sit or criticise the organisation for its lack of achievement.

The Express, as a regional newspaper, wants to see ALVA survive. It helps break down the barriers that exist between towns in our community and replaces suspicion with friendliness.

We do not agree that the towns of the Latrobe Valley are too widespread for them to have common interests.

The distances that do exist are distances of the mind, not geographical.

MORWELL POSITION GOES TO BURRIDGE

Morwell Football Club has appointed Ron (Sandy) Burridge as assistant playing coach for 1972.

Ron played for Wangaratta in the Ovens and Murray Football League and was captaincoach of Beechworth in the Ovens and King Football League from 1968 to 1970.

He represented both leagues in interleague football.

Ron played for Morwell in 1971 after being transferred to town for employment.

HOME UNITS OR SHOPS COULD CLOSE

If the 250 home units required as part of the agreement to allow the multi-million dollar Grollo/Lustig/Moar complex east of Morwell are not built within a certain time, the shopping centre can be closed down.

Morwell Shire engineer, Mr Ritchie, told councillors on Thursday that the agreement was for the units to be erected in five stages over 3½ years.

Tuesday, November 10, 1981.

Monday, November 12, 2001.

Thursday, November 10, 2011.

In answer to a query by Cr Tony Peterson, he said the shopping centre could be closed down within six months if the program was not followed.

The program provides for 50 units in the first year, 90 by 21 months, 140 by 27 months, 190 in three years and the entire complement by 45 months.

$200 donation to the Moe Youth Club and Boxing Gym on Wednesday as part of its program to assist the youth of Moe. The Youth Action Group was formed by Moe City Council last year to act as an outlet for local youth.

UNIONS WANT GREATER LV ROLE

A campaign by Latrobe Valley unions to play a greater part in determining the Valley’s future development will centre on the SEC. A special shop stewards’ course in Morwell last week, held to discuss the unions’ role in the Valley, came up with a number of suggestions to form a negotiation base with the present state government or a possible future Labor government.

These included:  The necessity to have the decision-making structure within the SEC made public as part of a long-term plan of industrial democracy in the SEC.  Balanced industrial development, taking into the account the quality of the environment.  The need for a democratic regional authority.  Infrastructure needs such as housing, health and welfare, public transport and community facilities

CHURCHILL AND TIGERS ON END OF UPSETS

Round 6 in the Central Gippsland Cricket Association saw two upsets when Erica and St Vincents defeated their more fancied opponents Churchill and Tigers respectively.

Wins for both sides could not have come at a better time.

Erica, after a lean year last season and relatively poor opening to this season, showed a great deal of determination and effort to edge out Churchill, whilst St Vincents really put themselves on the map with a narrow win over Tigers. Other winners were Willow Grove, Moe and Morwell, who prevailed in a low-scoring thriller against Morwell East.

FUN FACT: A Seiko instant call alarm chronograph watch was on sale at Jephcotts the Jewellers in Morwell and Traralgon for $89.

LV GOES NATIONAL AS SBS IS SWITCHED ON

The Latrobe Valley will go national today with the transmission throughout Australia of a special documentary about the local area to mark the launch of SBS television.

The documentary, which focuses on ethnic communities, will be broadcast at 12.30pm when Communications Minister Kim Beazley flicks the switch to officially launch the SBS station locally.

Following the launch in Kernot Hall, the station will carry normal national programming.

Gippsland is the first regional area in Victoria to get the new service and the launch sees the biggest single expansion for the television station since 1980.

Coverage includes the Latrobe Valley, East and South Gippsland.

ZAHRA WINS McMILLAN

Voters in McMillan have returned Labor member Christian Zahra with an increased majority, one of the few highlights for the party on a night where the Coalition Government claimed its third election victory in six years.

With more than 80 per cent of votes counted, Mr Zahra has a lead of more than 3300 votes, a swing of around two per cent to the sitting member.

But despite the deficit, Liberal candidate Jim Forbes is still unwilling to concede defeat.

“I won’t concede at this stage, I’ll wait until the postals come in, there’s a few thousand of those,” he told The Express yesterday.

Mr Zahra’s increased majority was one of only a few bright spots for the party which suffered a swing to the Coalition of about 1.4 per cent in Victoria.

“Obviously we were celebrating our achievement in getting a good swing to us, but at the same time feeling pretty sad about the fact there won’t be a Labor government federally,” Mr Zahra said.

GROUP UPSET OVER GW WATE PLAN

Gippsland Water’s plan to store the state’s low-level radioactive waste at Dutson Downs has angered a leading Gippsland environmental group.

The Wellington Residents Against Toxic Hazards (WRATH) group claimed if Gippsland Water was successful in its bid for the state government’s disposal contract, the surrounding environment, including the Gippsland Lakes, would be placed at risk by the materials.

MINISTER PLEDGES SUPPORT

Federal Climate Change Minister Greg Combet has pledged the government will ‘’honour its commitments’’ to support the Latrobe Valley through potentially its biggest transformation since the privatisation of the power industry.

The pledge comes after the federal government’s carbon pricing policy became enshrined in law on Tuesday after being voted through the Senate, 36 votes to 32.

The legislation clears the way for carbon pricing to begin in July 2012, which will charge high-intensity emitters, at a starting price of $23 per tonne of carbon emissions.

“There’s no need for people to be apprehensive, we will honour our commitments to consult with the local community, but it’s important to bear in mind legislation only just passed (on Tuesday),” Mr Combet said.

Included in the package is a plan to phase out 2000 megawatts of high-emission power generating capacity, through a contract for closure process, which Hazelwood, Yallourn and EnergyBrix Australia have all expressed interest in.

LEADERS PROGRAM CONTINUES

The future of a Gippsland community leadership program has been secured after the Committee for Gippsland agreed to take on the role as the new parent organisation.

C4G accepted the position of governing body after previous parent organisation, since 1996, i-GAIN transferred its support.

The Gippsland Community Leadership Program provides a forum for potential leaders in Gippsland to share knowledge, skills and experiences with other participants.

GREAT VICTORIAN ADVENTURE

Three generations of Traralgon’s Norman family will hit the road later this month as part of the 2011 RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride.

Andrew and Danielle Norman will be taking their four-year-old daughter Madeline and possible her six-month-old sister Zoe and joining up with Andrew’s parents Caroline and Greg from Orbost for the nine-day ride that covers nearly 600km of the Victorian countryside.

“It will be a lot of fun, they will be driving through, we’ll meet up with them and then head off as one big convoy,” Andrew told The Express.

Thomson River Fishway flows again

Fish haven: Flood recovery works at Thomson River Fishway have been completed, allowing fish to migrate over spring.

Important works: Large quantities of debris were cleared from the area.

FLOOD recovery works at the Thomson River Fishway have been completed, allowing fish to migrate over spring.

“The flood event in June saw large quantities of debris, mostly rock, effectively close the fishway.

An eight day works program saw the fishway cleaned up and walking paths repaired. So, the area is now again open to visitors,” West Gippsland Catchment Authority’s waterways project officer David Stork said.

The debris removed from the fishway was retained on site and used to reinstate walking tracks, which reduced the need for heavy vehicle movement in and out of the sensitive area.

Contractors used the rocky rubble as part of their landscaping and path work, improving the area’s attractiveness over time for visitors who will visit Horseshoe Bend Tunnel and the Fishway site.

photographs supplied

“We are not expecting to carry out these sorts of repairs after every flood event,” Mr Stork said.

“The June flood was a one in 30-year event so quite rare. The Thomson River twists and turns in steep country and large rain events can move a lot of debris and cause quite a bit of damage, as we saw in June.

“Many areas were impacted by the heavy rains including the Aberfeldy, Cooper’s Creek and Brunton’s Bridge campgrounds, as well as Walhalla and river frontages around Cowwarr.”

The fishway was constructed and opened in 2019, allowing native fish access to the upper Thomson and Aberfeldy rivers for the first time in a century.

The project also saw the historic Horseshoe Bend Tunnel, constructed by gold miners in the 1800s, receive 60 per cent of the Thomson River water

flow and 40 per cent redirected to the fishway and original river channel.

The Thomson River is one of Gippsland’s most significant and ecologically important rivers.

The creation of a fishway was identified as a state priority to help the fish passage between the Gippsland Lakes to the Victorian alpine region.

“Before the fishway was constructed, annual fish surveys did not find native migratory fish, like the Tupong, upstream. But since the fishway was completed, surveys have found good numbers of Tupong and other native species which have made use of the fishway to move upstream. So it’s an extremely positive sign that the fishway is doing what it is meant to do,” Mr Stork said.

While the site has been repaired, visitors are reminded that the walking tracks contain steep sections and uneven walking surfaces.

The smiles say it all: St Paul’s kinder child Melissa during a session of Muddy Puddle Play.

Muddy Puddle Play at St Paul’s – the smiles say it all TO the tremendous delight of children at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Early Learning Centre, recent rain had created a large muddy puddle in the ELC’s mud pit and perfect conditions for ‘muddy exploration’.

Enthusiastically, the children made the most of the wet weather, gearing up in waterproof overalls and gumboots for an activity of “Muddy Puddle Play”.

“Muddy Puddle Play” is one of the highlights of the St Paul’s ELC program that is a fun and engaging learning activity delivered by experienced educators.

The caring educators supervised the eager

children as they experimented with cause and effect, jumping into the puddle from different heights of various rock and wooden plank structures. As well as being a lot of fun and good for their wellbeing, the children pursue their potential through Muddy Puddle Play by developing dispositions for learning, learning and practising new skills, practising physical skills, engaging their senses and developing spatial awareness.

Most importantly, the children have fun and connect with each other using language, with their smiles saying it all!

Beautiful food: St Paul’s Year 9 student Alice presents her beef teriyaki.

Preparing a bowlful of flavour

NO one could resist saying ‘that smells good’ when the aroma of Asian cuisine wafted from the Year 9 Foodwise class recently at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School.

As part of their assessed production activity, the students had prepared, produced and presented a flavoursome meal of beef teriyaki.

The Foodwise elective at Year 9 investigates the eating habits of adolescents, providing students with effective tools for the management of food selection and food misinformation, while developing new technical skills and knowledge to adapt recipes to current accredited dietary advice.

Students also explore sustainable food production processes and are introduced to the design process.

The elective also promotes a healthy lifestyle and is a great subject for students who are interested in pursuing their full potential through a career related to nutrition, health or cooking.

Great fun: Making the most of a wet situation was St Paul’s kinder child Sebastien.

Running the rule over LVDCL’s 11 Raiders boys, they just keep going,” he laughed.

Interestingly, Raiders elected to bowl first every time they won the toss in one dayers last season, so perhaps some mind games might be on the cards from opposition captains this season when the team sheets are exchanged.

DURKIN DECLARES: Maynard will have a huge luxury this season with Knowles and Perera taking the new ball. If there is a better pairing than that in local cricket I would like to see it.

CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE wait is finally over, as the 2021/22 Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League gets set to begin this Saturday.

Cricketers will put the longest preseason in history behind them as on field action returns for a full one day season.

Starting the A Grade action is Morwell taking on Jeeralang Boolarra, Moe hosting Mirboo North, Raiders and Centrals going head-tohead, Trafalgar travelling to Peter Siddle Oval to take on Latrobe and CATS making the trip to Traralgon West.

Churchill has the bye.

Mirboo North Last season: Premier.

Captain/coach: Jesse Giardina.

Ins: Sean Viotto (Jindivick).

Outs: Madura Perera (MTY Raiders), Will Cheatley, Josh Taylor, Damien Turner, Jacob Blair (all retired).

IF ever there was a team that ‘finds a way’ it is Mirboo North.

The Tigers weren’t overly convincing in one day games before Christmas last season, winning five and losing four, but put it all together after the main break, not dropping a game on their way to the premiership.

Mirboo North ‘found a way’ in the semi-final to escape with a draw to get through to the decider as the higher ranked team, and again had to dig themselves out of a hole in the grand final after stumbling to 7/88.

Perhaps it is the lure of a premiership that sees the Tigers generally win grand finals when they get to them, or perhaps it is the laconic country attitude seen by those who play for Mirboo North that has enabled them to be successful.

It looks like a philosophy of keeping it simple will again be adopted as the Tigers enter season 2021/22, albeit with a slightly different line-up.

“There is a lot of youth so we have to play them, it is an exciting time, we still have four-five core players in the side like Jed Alexander, Choco (Shane Peters), Dale Banks, myself, so it is a good time to blood a few young blokes and teach them the way,” returning captain/coach Jesse Giardina said.

“Hopefully we can click and start to build a good one day cricket team.

“We’ve got enough there to be a decent bowling attack.

“You only have to bowl full and straight and make the batsman play … you don’t need to be quick.

“We just try and keep the batting

In today’s world of over-analysis and sport science, Mirboo North have well and truly done things their own way in recent seasons.

And while it has been successful, there would appear little reason to change it.

DURKIN DECLARES: They’re a team you can never write off.

Look to be going down the Hawthorn path this season of developing young players and being competitive at the same time with the experienced players that are left. Don’t discount the Shane Peters effect either, as long as Choco is there, literally anything is possible.

Churchill Last season: Runner-up.

Captain: John Keighran.

Ins: Nick Duncan (Jeeralang-Boolarra).

Outs: Ross Whelpdale.

CHURCHILL looks set to once again provide a strong challenge to all opponents in season 2021/22.

The Cobras have been a mark of consistency in recent years, with their A Grade side playing in the last four grand finals.

Classy batsman John Keighran will lead the side this season, and is again tipped to be one of the most prized wickets in the competition alongside Brendan Mason.

The pair have the ability to take games away from the opposition in less than a session if they are let off the chain with the bat, while their presence in the field is also strong.

Fielding has been a hallmark of Churchill’s cricket in the last few seasons, and those who have played the Cobras will attest to how it often feels as though there are 15 fielders on the ground.

Keighran said the emphasis on fielding was basically to make up for

any potential shortcomings with the ball.

“Pressure is a massive thing for us,” he said.

“We probably don’t have a bowling attack where we are going to skittle teams for not a lot of runs so we really rely on playing a dot ball pressure game.

“At the standard of cricket we play people tend to get themselves out once the dot balls start piling up.”

DURKIN DECLARES: No game against Churchill is ever easy. See them as the New Zealand of the LVDCL - a handful of match winners complemented by dependable role players that field very well.

Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders Last season: Third.

Captain/coach: Liam Maynard.

Ins: Madura Perera (Mirboo North).

Outs: None.

EXPERIENCE and class will again be words closely associated with Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders this season.

The experience of Raiders has meant the nucleus of the team has played together for what feels like an eternity, while their class is paramount in players such as Brad Knowles and skipper Liam Maynard.

Adding express bowler Madura Perera to the line-up will add to this class, and as Maynard explained, will also serve a two-fold purpose in allowing some of the clubs youngsters another brain to pick.

“He’s a professional, he applies himself with his training, we’re looking forward to having him this season and I think the way he holds himself when he trains and plays is a good example to the rest of us,” Maynard said.

“We’ve probably had some guys that have played a lot of cricket together but we’re now starting to get some of the younger guys coming through.

“It’s great they can learn from the guys with all the experience and then they can keep developing and improving.”

Raiders dominated the one day games last season, winning seven of nine, with six of those wins netting margins by seven or more wickets.

“In the one dayers we did have a pretty good record so we can definitely take some confidence from that,” Maynard said.

“We looked at our side last year as a better two day side but just didn’t perform when it came down to it.”

The skipper himself has overcome a calf injury sustained toward the end of last season, and should now be able to perform at full fitness.

Although there are no official outs, seasoned Raiders campaigners such as Mark Andrews and Jason MacFarlane might only be available on a semi-regular basis this season.

While talk at the end of every season for the last few years has generally gone along the lines of ‘surely some of these Raiders blokes will finally retire’, Maynard himself saw the funny side.

“You never sort of know with us

Latrobe Last season: Fourth.

Coach: Tyron Gamage.

Captain: Benn Zomer.

Ins: Navin Gomez (Hawthorn).

Outs: Jack Gay. LATROBE will be looking to have another strong season in 2021/22.

The Sharks would have to count themselves extremely unlucky not to make the grand final last season, after having Mirboo North 5/25 in pursuit of 218 in the semi-final, only for the Tigers to hang on for a draw and advance through as the higher ranked team.

A new season brings further opportunity, and Latrobe might be licking their lips at the thought of playing all one day games.

Latrobe proved its capabilities in one day games last season, winning six on the trot after the first three rounds.

Referencing specific performances in these limited overs games is sure to give the Sharks confidence as well, especially considering they bowled Mirboo North out for 86 and defeated Moe chasing via Duckworth/Lewis, which showed they can adapt to different situations on the fly.

These efforts have been symptomatic of how Latrobe has operated for most of as long as the current generation can remember. The Sharks have always appeared to be well organised either playing or warming up, which has no doubt led to them putting in clinical performances on the field.

Pace bowler Tyron Gamage will coach the Sharks this season, and said it would take a group effort to see the ultimate success.

“We had a good season last season, a few mistakes cost us,” he said.

“We have a job to do in the one dayers, we can’t carry one or two players, everyone needs to contribute.”

Latrobe could potentially look to use the number of left handed batsman in their top six to their advantage. Brett Duncan, Anu Meenakshi and skipper Benn Zomer might play an important if unheralded role in making sure fielders have to change sides more often than not.

Latrobe might hold the trump card as well if the white ball does happen to start reversing. Gamage back for a second spell with a reverse-swinging ball could spell absolute carnage.

DURKIN DECLARES: Amazingly, the Sharks only used 14 players in the ones last season, and 11 of those played 12 or more games. There is no doubt this played a big part in helping them achieve a level of consistency. If they can get a similar run of availability this season it will surely hold them in good stead.

Morwell Last season: Fifth.

Captain/Coach: Jordan Campbell.

Ins: Blair Clymo (Casey South Melbourne/Trafalgar), Scott Douglas (returning).

Outs: None.

MORWELL will seek a return to finals cricket this season.

The Tigers won’t really have to improve in a whole host of areas for this to happen, as they only missed

out on a place in the top four last season by 0.15 per cent.

Morwell has lured Blair Clymo across from Trafalgar. The addition of Clymo will mean Morwell has four genuine all-rounders, joining Brendan Brincat, Mark Cukier and Blake Mills.

Mills and Clymo played together at Casey South Melbourne, and Morwell will be looking for the pair to combine for some big partnerships in 2021/22.

Morwell was a team prepared to take risks in one day games last season with the bat.

This approach paid off when it all clicked, best highlighted by a win and score of 245 against Raiders.

Captain/coach Jordan Campbell said he was happy to let people play their natural game.

“We have got firepower in the top order with Blair, Sam Mooney, Sugar (Cukier), Blake, Brincat, guys who like to score pretty quickly so hopefully we can capitalise on that,” he said.

Signs appear to be promising for Morwell given they haven’t lost any players, but Campbell said this would not automatically mean on field results became a given.

“I think we have a pretty good side and we should compete, we haven’t lost anyone at all from last year’s team which is good, but in one day cricket anything can really happen,” he said.

“Blair is a big in and also kept hold of Travis Pickering which is big.”

Morwell has been a hub of activity in recent years, and now has one of if not the best cricket facilities in Gippsland.

With access to ovals side-by-side with turf wickets, the Tigers are indeed blessed.

“Not many clubs are lucky enough to be in a position we are in with the facilities we’ve got, we make full use of them,” Campbell said.

DURKIN DECLARES: Having multiple all-rounders in the line-up provides plenty of versatility, especially in one day games. The catch22 is if guys batting at eight and down haven’t had a hit in a few weeks it might be hard for them to come in and score freely. Other clubs can surely only dream of having the resources Morwell has been provided, so it may now all be up to the players to see that any advantage garnered from this is not wasted.

Trafalgar Last season: Sixth (relegated).

Coaching group: Rhys Holdsworth, Daniel Heathcote, Jackson Noonan.

Captain: Rhys Holdsworth.

Ins: Aiden George (Mill Park), Jack Hart (Yallourn North) Kaleb Chapman (Yallourn North), Colin Parnall (Officer), Billy Andrews (Drouin), Brett Tonkin (Trafalgar Tennis Club).

Outs: Blair Clymo (Morwell), Ryan Bishop (gone fishing).

JUST where do you begin when trying to get a read on Trafalgar?

The Ships defeated Premier A grand finalists Mirboo North and Churchill last season - and lost to A Grade wooden spooners Traralgon West.

They also defeated a CATS team that contained a test and first class player - and were bowled out for 40 against a Raiders attack with one first class player.

Trafalgar had no trouble chasing 123 against Morwell in tricky conditions, but had plenty of trouble chasing 158 against Moe in perfect conditions.

Like supporting Richmond in the early 2010s, it appears you are never entirely sure what Trafalgar side is going to turn up on the day.

While this might make the Ships every bit a danger side, they would be well advised to find a better recipe for success than trying to ride their luck every week.

The Ships will have Aiden George returning to the club this season,

which is sure to stabilise things at the top of the order.

While the bowling was solid last season, with Jackson Noonan, Daniel Heathcote and Rhys Holdsworth all taking 20 or more wickets, there is no escaping the fact the batting effort at times was absolutely horrific.

Returning captain Holdsworth acknowledged the need to get better with the blade.

“Definitely our batting we need to improve at the top of the order and just spread the load,” he said.

“Aiden coming back will be a boost, he’s a really good batsman, probably one of the best batsman to come through the club in the last decade.”

A visit to Trafalgar would suggest the Ships are very much a working class club, just one look at their nets held together with cable ties to stop balls going through would be enough evidence to support this.

However, as a team of all local players, it is clear those who play for Trafalgar play because they genuinely want to, and this, coupled with those working class values should see the Ships fight hard in every game they play this season.

DURKIN DECLARES: The general consensus from last season was that Trafalgar worked so hard to get opposition wickets, and then gave their own up so easily when they went in to bat. If they can address this, or find a happy medium, they should see their inconsistent form line improve.

through the grades and hopefully play A Grade.”

A hallmark of Moe’s cricket for as long as most players of the current generation can remember is their ability to just do the basics well and do them over and over again.

Spiteri however was quick to respond to this compliment, simply saying “we can always do them better”.

DURKIN DECLARES: Would be dangerous to bank on Joel Mitchell and Andrew Philip again combining for a 1500-run season, but having said that, there is nothing to suggest they couldn’t do it again. Moe made some huge totals in one dayers at Ted Summerton Reserve last season, with four being 220-plus and two of those 290-plus. Winning games while making scores that big will prove decisive in giving them percentage in sowing up a top two finish and a home final.

CATS Last season: Premier in A Grade (promoted).

Coach: Davin Charleston.

Captain: Ben Julin.

Ins: Mitch Bellingham (Imperials), Sam Hoch (returning).

Outs: Jack Blythman (moved to Melbourne).

CATS make the move up to Premier A after winning the premiership in A Grade last season.

The team from Callignee and Traralgon South will be greeted with new challenges against familiar opponents this season, as it returns to the top flight after a 12-month hiatus.

There was general agreement in local cricket circles last season that CATS was ‘too strong’ for A Grade, and now that they have been promoted, the next six months will give some indication as to whether or not this was in fact the case.

Returning captain Ben Julin believes the team is prepared for the step up.

“We’re well aware of the standard and how competitive the premier division is, with the likes of Churchill, Mirboo North and Morwell, those sorts of teams are always strong … we’ve got to be on our toes every week,” he said.

CATS performed well against Premier A opponents in one day matches last season, defeating Latrobe and scoring 239 against Mirboo North. This should give the team confidence to know they can not only compete, but win, against the best.

That being said, four of CATS six wins for the regular season were at home, meaning the greatest test for its players could come when they are taken out of their comfort zone and placed on wickets not as flat as what they are accustomed to at John Black Oval.

DURKIN DECLARES: Genuine X-Factor players in Cal Stewart and Tinashe Panyangara could see CATS walk a few games in with bat or ball, while a top six of Jamie Cochrane, Josh Keyhoe and Julin should see at least one get a score most weeks. The question is do CATS have a plan B if all the front liners miss out.

Moe Last season: Runner-up in A Grade.

Captain/Coach: Pat Spiteri.

Ins: Glen Sheekey (Yallourn North), Royce Colgrave (Latrobe), Toby Hart (Yallourn North).

Outs: Nathan Lee (moved to Melbourne), Ben Maslen, Trent Baldi (sabbaticals).

THE goalposts haven’t really shifted as far as Moe is concerned after two consecutive runner-up finishes.

With the hunger still burning from those shortcomings, the Lions will be aiming to break through for its first premiership since the fabled ‘eight in a row’ era came to an end in 2012/13.

While two grand final qualifications would suggest Moe was right in the window of contention, returning captain/coach Pat Spiteri said the group wasn’t taking anything for granted.

“There is no guarantees in cricket,” he said.

“But with the team that we put on the park each week I hope that we play finals again and hopefully go one better.”

Joining Moe for season 2021/22 are two left-arm seamers in Royce Colgrave, who comes across from Latrobe, as well as Yallourn North legend Glen Sheekey.

Moe will have no shortage of wise heads now that Sheekey is on board, and his time as a former Country Week captain in the Central Gippsland Cricket Association should bring some new ideas to the table of Spiteri and new vice-captain Noah Kane.

As developing leaders is essential to the success of any organisation, the appointment of Kane as secondin-command could prove a stepping stone to greater things.

Holistically at least Moe looks to have a healthy pool of players, and will be fielding an A Grade, B Grade and two C Grade teams this season.

Where the tendency in sporting clubs is often to make it all about the first picked team, the Lions have provided as many people as possible the chance to play cricket - much to their credit.

“The club is looking good as far as the amount of players go which is pleasing,” Spiteri said.

“We’re going to use one C Grade to develop some of the younger kids from Under 16 and maybe one or two of the Under 14s.

“It’s very important that we develop our juniors and have them come up

Centrals Last season: Third in A Grade.

Captain/Coach: Rob Webber.

Ins: Reghard Hefer (South Africa).

Outs: Rob Wilkie (Traralgon West), Tom Webster (moved to Geelong).

FOR Centrals, it has been a case of so close yet so far in recent seasons.

The Lions have had no trouble making finals, but have learnt how fragile a cricket season can be the hard way, crashing out badly in consecutive semi-final attempts.

If there is to be a silver lining however, players should now be even more determined to not let another opportunity slip by.

Rob Webber returns as captain/ coach, and is again expected to be a brute force either opening the batting or bowling his trademark ‘heavy ball’.

Bowling stocks have always been relatively strong at the Lions, with Webber set to send down a lot of overs alongside medium pacers Mark Rawson, Corey Pollard and seasoned campaigner Marc Fenech, who can roll through sides with his left-arm hoopers if conditions suit.

Webber acknowledged Centrals strength in this department, but said it would need to improve in other areas if it was the break its semi-final hoodoo.

“Our batting let us down last season, we just need to be more consistent with the bat, we have the bowling to get through sides,” he said.

Helping the batting effort is South African recruit Reghard Hefer, who comes to the club after playing predominately in Pretoria.

Addressing the issue of inconsistency will be high on the list for Centrals this season.

The Lions won their first five games last summer, but then went on to lose the next five as well.

This inconsistency was perhaps best summed up in the last three weeks of the season.

Centrals bowled Moe out for 32 in the final round of the home-and-away season, but were then rolled for 97 against the same opponent a fortnight later in the semi-final.

Webber said stamping out complacency would be a key focus point.

“I think we just took it a little

bit lightly thinking it was going to happen again (playing Moe in the semi), we need to get that out of our game,” he said.

“We need to learn from mistakes and step up to the plate when needed.”

Elsewhere, Centrals will face another challenge in not having any games on their home ground this season as Apex Park is being upgraded.

The Lions have been training at Traralgon and District Cricket Association club Imperials on alternative nights, in what has been a great show of clubs working together to help each other out.

DURKIN DECLARES: The semi-final is often the hardest game to win in club cricket. If Centrals can firstly qualify and then get past the first hurdle it will surely be a huge mental weight off their shoulders. As they say though, ‘ya gotta get there first’. Don’t underestimate just how much of an impact playing away every week will have either - the burn-out factor is sure to hit at some point.

Jeeralang-Boolarra Last season: Fourth in A Grade.

Coach: Ashley Spowart.

Captain: Ben Heath.

Ins: Nila Thillekarathna (Traralgon West), Hasitha Hewawasam (Traralgon West), Rhy McNaughton (Paynesville), Stan Urbanic (returning).

Outs: Sanitha De Mel (playing in Melbourne), Leon Risdon (Bruthen), Nick Duncan (Churchill).

SEASON 2021/22 will represent another opportunity for JeeralangBoolarra to continue on their journey toward bigger things in the cricket world.

While Rome wasn’t built in a day, the Panthers have ticked off a number of landmarks since entering an A Grade team in the Central Gippsland Cricket Association in 2015/16.

It took them just three seasons to make finals, and they have qualified for finals in every season since.

Building on this will be a major point of call for Jeeralang-Boolarra this season as they look to at least get past the semi-final post.

The Panthers have added a number of experienced campaigners to the line-up with allrounder Nila Thillekarathna coming from Traralgon West and Stan Urbanic returning after a season off.

A new coach in Ashley Spowart is also on board, and will relieve some of the burden on returning captain Ben Heath.

Heath was full of praise for the new coach, who has also previously played for Jeeralang-Boolarra.

“He’s a cricket nut, has a lot of great insights and implanted a lot of good regimes,” he said.

“Everyone has bought into his regime, no matter what grade you play, everyone has a role to play.”

Jeeralang-Boolarra underwent a season in 2020/21 that could perhaps best be described as ‘random’.

Due to circumstance, a number of

young players were thrown to the wolves so to speak, and the Panthers suffered a few hammerings.

That being said, they did make finals, in what was surely one of the most bizarre qualification pathways in local cricket history.

Jeeralang-Boolarra got in after winning just two regular season games and gaining a place in the top four of a five team competition.

Heath believed the young players in the team would be better for the experience of 2020/21.

“Last year was a bit of a transition period for us, we had a very, very young team,” he said.

“By the end of the year the young guys were definitely comfortable in A Grade so it will be very exciting to see how they perform and see how they have developed their game this year.”

DURKIN DECLARES: For a team that has made four finals series in a row the Panthers don’t seem to get the credit they perhaps deserve. This is unlikely to phase them, and at the very least, they should provide nuisance-value to opposition teams this season.

Traralgon West Last season: Fifth in A Grade.

Coach: Tim Fitch.

Captain: Rob Wilkie.

Ins: Rob Wilkie (Centrals).

Outs: Luke Sumner (Bruthen), Nila Thillekarathna (JeeralangBoolarra), Hasitha Hewawasam (Jeeralang-Boolarra).

AFTER missing out on finals by just one point last season, Traralgon West will be hoping this is the year they break the glass ceiling and join in on the March action.

The Eagles finished last season on a high, defeating eventual A Grade premier CATS reverse outright in a match that has gone down in Traralgon West folklore.

Internally at least this should provide some reassurance to the Eagles knowing that they are genuinely capable, as should their performances against other teams.

For whatever reason Traralgon West does have a decent record against Trafalgar in one day games, having defeated the Ships in their last two encounters.

As they are still relatively youthful, the Eagles might go through peaks and troughs this season, but new captain Rob Wilkie has liked what he’s seen in preseason.

“Our thought process is young (Ihraam) Zafar and (Josh) Monacella now being 18-19 should continue their improvement and take up a spot in the top six.

“We’re really putting a lot of time into the kids to ensure they get as good as their potential would suggest.

“With the lads putting in so much effort I’m quietly confident we should be able to shake up some top sides.”

The Eagles have dramatically improved their depth in recent years, highlighted by the second grade side finishing last season on top of the ladder by 16 points and the Under16s winning the premiership.

Traralgon West will be wanting to see this success in the lower grades translate to the top flight.

From the outside looking in there is plenty to suggest Traralgon West is doing a lot of things right as a club, which is always encouraging as the best clubs are always the most organised off the field.

DURKIN DECLARES: EARLY season wins will be on the cards as all teams in the competition find their feet. If Traralgon West do happen to grab a handful of wins in the first few rounds it will then be a matter of keeping a lid on it to make sure November victories aren’t distant memories when the competition resumes after Christmas.

Magpies the team to beat heading score rapidly and the fact their depth is the best in the TDCA.

CRICKET TDCA

Gormandale

THE TDCA regular season begins this weekend.

All clubs are incredibly eager to get stuck into cricket after a long break due to COVID restrictions.

With all matches in the TDCA this season to be one-day games, it will present a unique but by no means unfamiliar challenge to teams.

Here is how sides across the TDCA are shaping up for 2021/22, and which ones are tipped to be the teams to beat, as well as those to watch out for.

Last season: A Grade third, B Grade seventh, C Grade sixth.

spinning trio in the TDCA and quicks who can intimidate while keeping the economy rate down as well.

GORMANDALE look to have maintained their list from last season which is good for the club after they finished second during the regular season and also played off in the one day grand final in 2020/21 as well.

Yohan Soyza departs the club to head home to Sri Lanka but has been replaced with leg spinning wicket taker Nat Campbell and although you couldn’t get two bowlers who bowl completely opposite to each other, Campbell’s wickettaking ability will be a big asset for the Tigers and will replace Soyza nicely.

Top order bat Matthew Hibbs is coming off a great season but needs support with the second highest run scorer (Soyza) departing. This will give the likes of James Jacobsen, Dylan Freitag and Chris Lehner the chance to get those big scores they are capable of and if Hibbs can replicate the season he had in 2020/21 then the Tigers are looking pretty good across the board.

Gormandale has put a lot of effort into their lower grades as well in the off season and have been able to recruit some youth to the club. It would be great for the Tigers to get some lower grade success again and expose some of their younger players to finals before they make that next leap into the A Grade team.

ONE TO WATCH: Jackson McMahon will be relishing the fact that this season is all one day games as he is the Sharks opening batsman in limited overs. This will give the star left-hander plenty of time to do what he does best and compile big scores each week and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was in the top five runscorers for the season again.

ONE TO WATCH: Dylan Freitag had a good season in 2020/21 without getting that big bag of wickets in an innings which can set a player up for a season. After his blistering spell in the Gippsland Cricket League final earlier this year it would be good reward for effort to see Freitag double his return last season of 19 wickets and 134 runs.

PREDICTION: This club is the envy of Gippsland and they continue to go from strength to strength on and off the field. Ex Students will no doubt feature in the finals of all three grades again this season and will start as favourites for the flag in each grade as well due to their ability to

PREDICTION: Gormandale should be in the mix again for finals. They will have to compete fiercely with the likes of Yarram and District, Rovers and Toongabbie for third or fourth spot on the ladder but on last season’s form they should just edge out those mentioned and feature in the finals

Glengarry

Last season: A Grade premiers, B Grade third, C Grade seventh.

THE reigning premier peaked at the right time last season after finishing third on the ladder after the regular season.

The Magpies had a bit of an inconsistent 2020/21 but their finals campaign was absolutely dominant as they smashed Gormandale in the semi-final and then convincingly beat Ex Students for the premiership.

Nathan Freitag was amazing for his new club last season and as his bowling output increased throughout the year the dynamic of Glengarry shifted and they proved they have every facet of the game covered for sustained success.

The Magpies have added to their list this season as well luring Nick Grainger back to cricket after not playing last season.

Grainger hails from Sale-Maffra powerhouse Collegians and likes to get on with it when he bats which will allow the regulars in the top order for Glengarry like Alistair Jenkin and the Marks brothers, Frank and Sam, to take their time to build an innings knowing that Ben Marks and Grainger will be able to close off the innings in electrifying style.

The lack of a second spin bowler may be a concern in the one day format for the Magpies, as Jenkin may need some support in that regard.

Will Sam Marks be thrown the ball

Top of the tree: Glengarry will be out to defend its crown in 2021/22, but will have to do so in a different format as the TDCA plays a full one-day season. photograph supplied at all again this season or will they settle upon the very good fast bowling brigade and use Jenkin as their only spinner?

Time will tell.

As far as the club goes Glengarry’s B Grade are always thereabouts come finals time and hopefully their C Grade team can notch up a win this season after not winning a match since their C Grade premiership victory back in 2018/19.

ONE TO WATCH: While there will be a lot of interest around Nick Grainger, the one day matches change the dynamic of the season so much not just for teams and their plans but for individual players as well. Someone like a Paul Henry may just suit playing one dayers each week and considering Henry

has the ability to finesse and get off strike when there’s hitters going at the other end and then elevate his own scoring when required he could potentially make the number seven position his for the season, making 20-30 not out each week.

PREDICTION: Glengarry has the shot at a dynasty here, the core group of players have great experience but are still all fit and athletic with plenty of more cricket left in them so watch out as the Magpies could just eye off the next few flags. It won’t be an easy season though and although Ex Students have been tipped as the favourite leading into the season the reigning premiers are not far behind them on the tote and if a prediction was going to be made it would have to be Ex Students will take on Glengarry in the 2021/22 grand final with the winner being anyone’s guess.

Ex Students

Last season: A Grade runner-up, B Grade runner-up, C Grade runner-up.

On the up: Simon Duff and his Rovers teammates will be looking to take more steps in the right direction this season following a semi-final appearance in 2020/21. file photograph

Page 48 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Monday, 8 November, 2021

THE juggernaut that is the Ex Students Cricket Club comes into the 2021/22 season in unfamiliar territory after not taking out a premiership in any grade for the first time in nine years.

With this in mind, the entire club will be motivated to make sure they give themselves a great chance to take home some silverware again this season.

So far the Sharks haven’t added anyone new to their A Grade and have lost the reigning TDCA Player of the Year Jordan Gilmore to Victorian Premier Cricket club Casey/ South Melbourne which will be a big loss for not just Ex Students, but for the TDCA as a whole.

Gilmore’s departure does have a silver lining though as it means the likes of Rick Battista, Matt Robertson and Mitch ‘the lumberjack’ Harris will get more opportunity to bat up the order and show their class more often.

As a bowling unit Ex Students are the full package and can apply pressure in any format so the one day fixtures won’t worry the Sharks this season at all as they boast the best

Changing strips: Nat Campbell has moved from Imperials to Gormandale for the 2021/22 Traralgon and District Cricket Association season. file photograph

into a big season of TDCA cricket would need to go right for them and without Floyd it may be just out of reach.

Yarram and District

Last season: A Grade fifth, B Grade premiers, C Grade third.

THE Pelicans hit the ground running in their inaugural TDCA season, featuring in two out of three grades finals series and being right in the mix for A Grade up to the last few rounds.

Anthony Scott returns as captain for the new club and with Dylan Rash, Jack Moore and a few others being able to commit to more A Grade matches Yarram may ruffle a few feathers in the 2021/22 season.

The Pelicans already look as if a strong culture is being formed and a B Grade flag will have done wonders for the club, and now with turf being installed at the Yarram Recreation Reserve, hopefully A Grade matches will be able to be featured in this seasons fixture as the toll of travelling each week in 2020/21 did impact their season.

History: Inaugural Yarram and District Cricket Club captain Anthony Scott will again lead the Pelicans again this season. photograph supplied again. Gormandale have the ability and the firepower to beat any team in the TDCA but they also have the ability to lose and lose badly to any team in the competition so if they can remain consistent they should have a good campaign.

Rovers

Last season: A Grade fourth, B Grade fourth, C Grade third.

ROVERS are coming off a season where all grades featured in the finals which was the first time Rovers had achieved that feat for a very long time.

Although they held their own against Ex Students in the A Grade semi-final they were still out of their depth a bit, but are showing genuine promise as a team who is not that far away.

Rovers are now the club who hold the longest active premiership drought across all grades, having not earnt any silverware since 1994/95.

But with the club now having good depth throughout each grade maybe this season will be the year to add to the trophy cabinet.

Enlisting the help of TDCA icon Col Scammell as coach has been great for the club so far as he brings some tough, old school attitude to the young Rovers team and no doubt he will be drilling into the playing group a strong attitude and teaching them how to play with a competitive and fierce edge.

Losing Mitch Floyd will be a big loss for Rovers as he gave the young team some experience and also some good pace with the ball, acting as Rovers enforcer, but the likes of Jack Lynch, Ewan Williams and Kayleb Pearce should now be able to take up his role with another season under their belt and be the quicks who can provide great support to the likes of Justin Little and Simon Duff.

ONE TO WATCH: Tyron Bramwell is someone who is still incredibly young but has been around for a while, long enough to forget just how young he is. Last season he batted in the top order in the Under 18 Gippsland Cricket League team

against young bowlers who already have big reputations in other competitions as good new ball bowlers and not only did he handle the pressure he excelled and notched up some good scores. With that in mind there is no reason why the left hander can’t bat in Rovers top order this season and elevate his game to the next level.

PREDICTION: One day cricket matches will suit Rovers who are young, fit and full of energy.

The limited overs format should encourage the team to play their shots as they were guilty of getting bogged down last season against good bowling so this could be the best possible development for a team on the rise. They have the capabilities of finishing fourth this year but things

ONE TO WATCH: ‘The Quigs Club’ has fast become a part of the TDCA that nobody wants to become a member of yet everyone enjoys when a new member is inducted. For this reason Damien Quigley is certainly one to keep an eye out for as he is quite a character, is never short of a word and already has a list of players he’s targeting this season to join his list which is growing quicker than Chris Jericho’s. One day matches will suit Quigley perfectly and similar to players mentioned before, Quigley could make the middle/lower order finisher position his own for this season.

PREDICTION: There has been some serious fence sitting in some of these predictions, but Yarram and District look set to improve on last season and will feature in finals. Playing away from home until their turf is ready may be an issue again but if they can win some games early and get on their home deck by the end of the year they have a massive opportunity to lock down third or fourth position and shake up the TDCA.

Huge coup: Keenan Hughes has returned to Toongabbie for this season.

file photograph

Toongabbie

Last season: A Grade seventh, B Grade sixth, C Grade premiers.

THE only club to not have a team feature in finals in any grade last season, the Rams got busy and managed to secure Keenan Hughes as captain/coach after a stint in Central Australia.

Hughes has a big reputation in Gippsland cricketing circles because wherever he goes success seems to follow.

Some of the players from last season’s A Grade team have also been motivated as they look to push for finals once more.

From all reports Matt Whitechurch has got himself very fit and Kev Stoddart is hitting the ball as crisp as ever so watch out for some rejuvenated players in green this season.

Toongabbie has some good young players coming through at the moment as well but may still be a bit too young to feature in A Grade all that often, so bolstered B and C Grade teams should enjoy some youthful enthusiasm which could see a rise in their lower grades as well in 2021/22.

THE off season could have been better for Imperials as they have lost quite a few players from their A Grade team from 2020/21.

Nat Campbell has gone to Gormandale, Zac Tactor has left to Toongabbie, Mitch Bellingham has left the TDCA, Mitch Bulmer has moved away and a few others may not be playing either.

Brett Chapman is scheduled to move away halfway through the season as well and his availability may be limited which would be disappointing if he couldn’t play some matches to give his club a fond farewell.

Through adversity though comes opportunity and although it might not look great on paper it means that some players now get a chance to prove themselves.

Joel Randall should now get his chance to show how good he can be with the bat, David Pryde will get a really good run at batting in A Grade and young players like Josh Twite and Ryan Bosch will get an opportunity with the ball which can set them up for the years to come.

ONE TO WATCH: There is two to watch from Toongabbie this season in the forms of Matt Barry and Zac Russell. Barry had a full year of A Grade last season and held his own at that level although he didn’t get the wickets he would have liked.

It shouldn’t matter though as his abilities still shone through and now that he will be use to the standard he should have a big season. Russell burst onto the scene a few years ago but as a lot of young players do had a season where he just troughed a little after a big 2019/20. The opening batsman should now be back to form and could be a huge part of the Rams rise back up the ladder.

Superstar: Lee Stockdale again looms as a key player for Ex Students.

file photograph

Imperials

Last season: A Grade sixth, B Grade fifth, C Grade fifth.

PREDICTION: Another team who has the ability to beat any other in the TDCA, but also lose to any team as well. The Rams could be anything this season and with Hughes back they could easily feature in March action once more.

ONE TO WATCH: Dean Jones finished last season as Imperials fourth highest run scorer after doing his apprenticeship in B Grade for a little bit longer than what should have been. Jones got his first A Grade half century and now with a full season of batting in A Grade should be primed to take his game to the next level and look to be making upwards of 250 runs a season.

PREDICTION: Imperials won’t feature in finals this season in A Grade, but their lower grades are always more than competitive so some success should be able to be achieved. Coach Lee Farley will be on a mission to identify talent and set up the club for the next few years and if Imperials can get creative and Chapman makes some sacrifices for a club that has given him a lot they can still win a couple games and have an impact on the season in all grades.

Harriers blazed the Plains trail in latest run ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By GARY FOX

THE Harriers’ Thursday night run on November 4 was a 6km run on the Gippsland Plains rail trail starting out from Glengarry.

We had a great turnout with a total of 52 participants with three first time runners.

First home with the very impressive time of 23.21 and crossing the line together were Corey Milner and Narelle Crozier.

Next home was triathlon legend Molly Irvine in 25.13 and young gun Miles Verschuur close behind in 25.15.

Another standout performance was Warren Shields with 25.33.

The run was followed by dinner at the Glengarry Hotel which was enjoyed by all.

Full Results: Corey Milner 23.21, Narelle Crozier 23.21, Molly Irvine 25.13, Miles Verschuur 25.15, Warren Shields 25.33, Steve Renehan 25.44, Pete Sanders 26.14, Andrew Greenhill 26.22, Yani Cornthwaite 26.26, Darrel Cross 26.30, Tobiasz Grzmil 26.56, Chris Van Unen 27.17, Stephen McLeod 27.35, Geoff Franci 28.10, Liz Kenny 29.13, Ron Verschuur 30.16, Chris Gallivan 30.23, Michael Walke 31.07, Gary Fox 31.16, Carly Korab 31.29, Ian Twite 31.36, Angelo Gaudiano 31.41, Kate Mayer 31.41, Tania Whitehead 32.21, Phill Mayer 32.28, Jason Irvine 32.49, Catherine Leonard 33.04, Collette Hofmann 33.35, Chris Francis 33.52, Michelle Sawyer 34.12, Alfie Warner 34.18, Bjorn Luxman 34.53, Maree Graham, (Ree) 34.56, Callie Cook 35.34, Kathleen Kent 35.52, Susan Poole 36.34, Danelle Wright 37.57, Mandy Ellis 38.05, Kaye Livingtstone 40.12, Ann Bomers 40.48, Andrew Legge 40.50, Helen Whitby 47.20, Kathy Quinn 47.29, Mathan Byrne 53.38, Cynthia Rodriguez 55.01, Bob Duljas 55.55, Barry Higgins 55.55, Kasindra Dalton 64.01, Desmond Dalton 64.01, Christine Hill NTR, Mackenzie Owen DNF.

This Thursday night’s running will be at the Traralgon Railway Reserve.

We have two annual events coming up which are open to non-club members.

Thursday, November 18 will be a special event - the Summersgill Cross Country Championships with a 12km, 8km and 4km run - to be held at Edward Hunter Reserve in Moe. Then we have the Ray & Doris Wirilda Park Run (10km and 22km events) to be held on Sunday, November 21.

MOE Racing Club will host a nine-race meeting today.

The meeting will present the first opportunity since June that patrons will be permitted on course to see racing action live.

Cloud cover and a maximum temperature of 18 is predicted, with the initial rating of the track a Soft 6.

The Moe track has been one of the high points of recent times, as it has stood up to all types of weather and gained the adulation of trainers and jockeys alike.

Not even a 15 millimetre downpour which fell prior to a meeting early last month was enough to see racing rescheduled.

The StrathAyr sand-based track is designed to allow continuous drainage to occur and prevent surface water laying on the track.

Some prominent trainers will be on show today, including Peter Moody, who has a runner in Race 1, the Ladbrokes Bet Ticker 3YO Maiden Plate over 1217 metres with Chevalet.

Trafalgar jockey Jason Maskiell is riding $1.85 favourite Denirra in Race 2, the S&S Equipment Hire 4YO+ Maiden Plate (1217m) for Cranbourne trainer Luke Oliver.

The four-year-old mare will jump from barrier two in what will be its first start in 29 days.

Moe Cup winning jockey Patrick Moloney is in the saddle for the MBSS Security 4YO+ Maiden Plate (1217m) on board Our Tigersun.

Moe trainer Darryl Blackshaw will take threeyear-old gelding Little Brother into the SVW Electrical Maiden Plate (1628m).

Little Brother will jump from barrier four and could prove good value for punters thanks to odds of $13.00 for a win and $3.50 a place.

Bundalaguah trainer Sharyn Trolove should be in with a good show in Race 5, the Ladbrokes Maiden Plate (2088m) with Raid The Bar.

Empty no more: Crowds will finally be allowed back at Moe Racing Club, with the club hosting a meeting today. photograph liam durkin The four-year-old gelding has run fourth in its last two starts at Sale, and this might just be the race that sees it land its first career win.

Blackshaw is again in action in the Kiss Print Solutions BM58 Handicap (2088m), with Vibrant Angel jumping from barrier one.

The four-year-old mare won at Moe 16 days ago and should carry some advantage because of this.

Sale trainer Troy Kilgower has two runners in the Able on Site Services BM58 Handicap (1017m) with Tiny Hussy and Urgent, while Trafalgar trainers Paul and Tracey Templeton will want to see seven-year-old gelding Commanding Witness continue its strong form.

Commanding Witness won at Bairnsdale last Monday, and came second in the race before that.

Moloney is on board $3.00 favourite Fashion Avenue in the Ladbrokes Cash In BM58 Handicap (1217m).

Blackshaw has a runner in the day’s final race, the Ian Grant’s Caravans Xmas Party Raceday BM58 Handicap (1628) with One Man Band jumping from barrier nine.

The five-year-old gelding won its last start at Yarra Valley on a Heavy 8.

Gates open at 12.30pm.

Proof of vaccination will be required.

Bowls season starts this weekend BOWLS

By MICHAEL HOLROYD

THE bowls pennant season is set to start this week after many disruptions to bowls during the winter months due to COVID. The West Gippsland Bowls Division has officially combined with the South Gippsland Bowls Division to form the Strzelecki Bowls Region.

There will be two playing areas: Strzelecki North, which is the clubs in the old West Gippsland Bowls Division, and Strzelecki South which contains all of the clubs from South Gippsland.

Chris Ward from Traralgon is the president and Michael Holroyd from Newborough is the secretary.

Midweek pennant resumes tomorrow with a number of changes to the competition. Teams can have up to two men with a lady being required to skipper the rink.

Round one has some interesting matches.

Reigning premier Drouin host Trafalgar and with three seasoned skippers in Maureen Leighton, Denise Hamilton and Sheryl Atkinson along with the vastly experienced Les Firth, Denis Throup, Mark Atkinson and John Leighton they will be once more aiming for top spot on the table.

Morwell travels to Traralgon RSL and will be aiming to play well on the RSL’s grass green which should be running well given the fine weather of late.

Morwell Club hosts Newborough and the home team will be hoping their home ground advantage is enough to bring them the points.

In the final Division 1 game Traralgon hosts

Better late than never: Local bowls is back this weekend. file photograph Warragul and it will be interesting to see which green Traralgon play on as they have resurfaced two of their greens over the winter and have been very pleased with the progress made in developing the new surfaces.

Division 2 winners Moe host Traralgon and will be looking to provide a big upset with Traralgon losing a few established players over the winter.

Trafalgar hosts Drouin. Trafalgar may play on their new synthetic green or their renovated grass green which like the other grass greens is running quite well for this time of the year.

Morwell Club hosts Warragul who often finds the grass greens not to their liking.

Morwell Club needs to start the season off with a win to build up enthusiasm within the club after their narrow escape from relegation last year.

The final game in Division 1 sees Newborough travel to Traralgon RSL in what should be a keenly fought tussle as RSL has performed very well over the last two seasons and will be eying a spot in the top two teams this year.

Newborough will be looking for good games from prized Trafalgar recruit Tommy Lodge.

Strzelecki Bowls Region is following the lead of Melbourne Pennant in allowing players to practice on Saturday mornings on the rinks they are going to play in the afternoon. Games can only be interrupted for up to an hour before the game is declared over. The old 60 end rule has returned for games which have reached the stage where no further prospect of play is possible.

Bowlers are praying for a great season after a winter with very few games of bowls.

Clubs have been very busy ensuring players are eligible to play with the strict COVID regulations in place and the players are definitely keen to go.

Skinner gets second shot at AFL career with Power FOOTBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

Double act will coach Cougars FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

CHURCHILL Football-Netball Club has turned to some familiar faces as senior co-coaches for season 2022.

Jordan Fenech and Tim Darby were recently appointed to the top job, and will be out to see the Cougars to future glory in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League.

Fenech led the senior team this season as captain, while Darby has previously coached the Cougars at senior level.

The pair take over from Chris Williams, another person who has been around the Churchill team for many years.

Churchill has been a powerhouse of the competition in recent seasons, playing in consecutive grand finals in 2018 and 2019, winning a premiership in the latter.

The Cougars were again in the mix this season, finishing third with seven wins and three losses before the season was cancelled.

Favourite son makes a return to his home club FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

Changing paddocks: Reigning North Gippsland Football-Netball League senior best-and-fairest Ricky Cochrane has joined Mid Gippsland club Boolarra for season 2022. file photograph

Boolarra lands North Gippy ace FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

BOOLARRA Football-Netball Club recently landed a huge recruiting coup, signing reigning North Gippsland Football-Netball League senior best-and-fairest Ricky Cochrane for season 2022.

Cochrane won this year’s NGFNL vote count after a stellar season with Traralgon Tyers United.

The hard-nosed midfielder comes to the Demons with no shortage of awards, having been named in the NGFNL Team of the Year four times and winning two club best-andfairests for TTU. In further good news for Boolarra, star player Brendan Mason has re-signed. Mason came to the Demons this season after playing some solid football in his time with Churchill.

Tony Giardina will again coach the senior team, as Boolarra looks to turn its on-field fortunes around.

Giardina coached the Demons to their last premiership a decade ago, but recent seasons have netted finishes of 11th (2021), 8th (2019) and 10th with zero wins (2018).

HEYFIELD product Leigh Brown will return to his home club next season as Heyfield Football-Netball Club’s director of coaching.

Brown played 246 AFL games across stints at Fremantle, North Melbourne and Collingwood between 2000 and 2011.

The 39-year-old will assist Kangaroos coach Rick Galea on training nights and selected game days to help out with programs and set-ups.

Brown has kept close tabs with his home club post his AFL days, and played the odd senior game here and there.

Heyfield ended the abandoned North Gippsland Football-Netball League season in eighth position with four wins and six losses.

The Kangaroos started the season ablaze, winning their first four games, but took a dramatic nosedive thereafter, losing the next six.

That being said, three of those six losses were by under 18 points, and the inclusion of Brown might see Heyfield flip a number of those close results next season.

In a quirky aside, Brown is also the answer to the trivia question: ‘who is one of only AFL player to play 50 or more games at three different clubs?’

For the record, Brown played 63 matches at Fremantle, 118 at North Melbourne and 65 at Collingwood.

Glenn Coleman is the other member of that exclusive club, which is set to welcome Brad Hill and Adam Treloar in coming years.

Heyfield has a proud history of producing of AFL players.

The small timber town boasts: Brown, David Wojcinski (203 games for Geelong), Adrian Cox (54 games for Hawthorn), Mark Stevens (122 games for North Melbourne and Adelaide) and Matt Ferguson (12 games for St Kilda).

Remarkably, three of those went on to win premierships.

Brown won a flag with Collingwood in 2010, Stevens at Adelaide in 1998 and Wojcinski got three with Geelong in 2007, 2009, 2011.

Leader of the pack: Jordan Fenech will coach Churchill next season, alongside Tim Darby. file photograph

MOE footballer Sam Skinner was thrown a lifeline

by Port Adelaide, who last week signed the key defender as a delisted free agent.

Skinner played three games in five seasons with the Brisbane Lions from 2016 to 2020, but was cursed with injury, undergoing two knee reconstructions.

He trained with North Melbourne ahead of the 2021 season after being let go by Brisbane, but was unable to gain a place on the Kangaroos list.

Not to be defeated, he moved to South Australia to play with South Adelaide in the hopes of getting a recall, and shone in this years SANFL competition.

A semi-final performance that netted 11 intercept marks caught the attention of many, with Port Adelaide eventually snaffling him.

Port Adelaide champion and current defensive coach Chad Cornes was shown footage of Skinner before meeting him for the first time last Monday.

Cornes said Skinner made a great impression at the meeting, not just from a football perspective.

“What was more impressive was how he spoke in this meeting,” Cornes said.

“He seems like a great leader and a really good person as well so I think he could be a handy pick-up for us.

“For a young guy he seems like he’s got really good leadership qualities.

“Having come from the Brisbane system he knows the AFL system so he sets up in the way we do at Port Adelaide, in the way he positions himself

against his man, which is a bonus for him already,” It was straight to work for Skinner, who met his new teammates for the first time on Friday and then joined in a running session.

“It means everything to get this chance. My partner and I moved to Adelaide to play in the SANFL to try and get another crack at it,” Skinner said.

“It was a big thing to pack our things up and move across after South Adelaide gave me a chance, so it means the world to both of us and my family to get that call today that Port Adelaide is willing to give me a chance.

“When I finished up at Brisbane, I felt like I still had a lot to give and I aspired to get back on an AFL list so to get an opportunity to do that, I’m just really keen to get cracking.”

The Power has a strong connection to Gippsland footballers, with Foster’s Xavier Duursma currently on the list, while former Port Adelaide players from Gippsland include John Butcher (Maffra), Danny Butcher (Maffra) and Don Webb (Warragul).

Port Adelaide appears right in the premiership window, having made the preliminary final in the previous two AFL seasons.

If the near-200 centimetre defender Skinner does get a game, the Power could potentially have some serious tall timber down back with Aliir Aliir (196cm), Trent McKenzie (191cm) and captain Tom Jonas (188cm).

Skinner is the son of Craig Skinner, who was recently announced as the new senior coach of Newborough Football-Netball Club.

Skinner played one senior game for Moe before being taken at pick 47 in the 2015 national draft.
