Council to consider battery plant after EPA approval

LATROBE City Council has confirmed it will consider a planning permit application for a controversial used lead acid battery recycling plant in Hazelwood North in “coming weeks”.

It comes as the Environment Protection Authority granted a Works Approval for the Chinese company Chunxing to

process 50,000 tonnes of used lead acid batteries into 28,000 tonnes of refined lead each year.

The proposal for the Fourth Road facility would provide 50 ongoing jobs.

The EPA handed down the works approval on Monday subject to a range of conditions, despite the application receiving strong community objections.

Conditions include a final detailed

design to ensure it meets the strict emissions specifications required by the Works Approval, a full risk management plan and ongoing community engagement.

The EPA received more than 170 submissions, many concerning potential lead pollution on surrounding residential areas, farmland, and a nearby primary school.

However, the application is still subject to council approval before it is given the green light.

Project environmental consultant Jeff Latimer said the approval was the “single most important” part of the development stage due to the amount of scrutiny that went into the application.

Friday court date for duo

TWO people have been charged following a serious collision at Hernes Oak on April 7.

A male passenger was seriously injured after a car travelling along McGraths Track crashed into a tree about 10pm.

The 18-year-old learner driver is alleged to have fled the scene, before he was arrested in Rosedale several hours later.

The man has been charged with 11 offences including recklessly causing serious injury, negligently causing serious injury, dangerous driving causing serious injury, reckless conduct endangering life and fail to render assistance.

An 18-year-old woman has also been charged with three offences.

They will both appear at Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court tomorrow.

A concerning rise in stolen firearms

POLICE have recorded a concerning rise in the number of stolen firearms over the past year in the Latrobe Valley.

Police believe that many of these thefts were opportunistic and could have potentially been prevented through the safer storage of licensed firearms.

Acting Inspector Leigh Balthazaar said the vast majority of licensed firearm holders are responsible and understand the serious responsibility which comes with firearm ownership.

“However, we want to remind everyone about the importance of remaining vigilant when it comes to ensuring their firearms are stored securely and in compliance with the legislative requirements,” Act Insp Balthazaar said.

“It’s imperative that stolen firearms do not find their way into the hands of any criminals who may wish to cause harm in our community.

“Recently we’ve seen incidents where firearms were stolen after they were left unsecured in a car or the keys to a firearm safe were left in an easily accessible location.

Act Insp Balthazaar said police encouraged people to also secure tools on their property that thieves often use to break into firearm safes.

“We’ve seen a recent example of this where firearms were stored securely in a safe, however the safe was situated in a shed on unoccupied land with tools very easily accessible,” he said.

“In this instance, an offender has used tools in the shed to force entry to the safe and steal a number of firearms.

“Police continue to work tirelessly to investigate incidents like this to ensure any stolen firearms are located and offenders are held to account.

“However, we do ask that all licence holders think carefully about the security of their firearms and play their part in ensuring they don’t end up in the wrong hands.

“Local police will also be stepping up random inspections and audits of licensed firearm holders over the coming months.”

Police say that to avoid firearm theft people should; ■ Store firearms in an approved unit.

Ammunition, bolts and magazines should be kept separately.

■ Never leave firearms unattended.

■ When finished with firearm, return it to an approved safe storage unit.

■ Secure tools to prevent thieves being able to use them to force open storage areas.

■ Be careful not to identify the existence of a firearm on your property, this includes placing firearm stickers on car.

■ Consider installing security cameras around your home.

Positive: The man visited Mid Valley Shopping Centre on August 26 when infected with coronavirus.

Visitor leaves his mark A MAN who visited the Latrobe Valley from August 17 until August 27 has tested positive for coronavirus.

The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the man travelled through parts of the Valley, Casey and Cardinia local government areas.

“When the individual tested positive he immediately entered isolation,” a DHHS spokesperson said.

“Four people are suspected of

contracting the virus from this individual while he was in his infectious period.”

Latrobe Health Advocate Jane Anderson said she understands the anxiety that the positive case who travelled through the Latrobe Valley will cause for residents.

“Latrobe Valley is not immune from COVID-19 but we can work together as a community to protect ourselves and each other,” she said.

The LHA said locals with concerns are welcome to contact the office.

The man visited these sites: August 17 - 27 (intermittently): Aldi, Moe August 19, 8am - 12pm: Manny’s Market, Morwell.

August 22, early morning: Farmer’s Market, Traralgon August 22, morning: Berwick Railway station August 22, 11.20am: Train from Berwick to Officer August 22, 11.30am - 2pm: Railway Station, Officer

August 22, afternoon: Train from Officer to Moe and Railway Station, Moe August 22, 4pm-5pm: Hungry Jack’s, Moe August 26: Mid Valley Shopping Centre, Morwell, Optus and Cutting Edge Keys

If you have been to one of these locations during these times you need to monitor yourself for symptoms.

If you develop even mild symptoms do not go to work, immediately get tested and stay home until your receive your result.

Valley has 11 active COVID-19 cases

LATROBE Valley has 11 active cases of coronavirus.

Across Gippsland there are 15 active cases of coronavirus with Latrobe 11, Wellington one, East Gippsland two, Baw Baw one, and none in Bass Coast or South Gippsland.

Victoria recorded 90 new cases of COVID-19 yesterday, with 22 linked to outbreaks or complex cases and 68 are under investigation.

Yesterday, there were six more deaths from coronavirus recorded, made up of five men aged in their 80s and one man aged in his 90s.

As of yesterday, a total of 2,248,952 test results have been received which was an increase of 13,912 since Tuesday.

Premier Daniel Andrews said it is critically important for the roadmap being released on Sunday that as many people as possible are tested for coronavirus.

“The regional number, there are now 125 (cases) in regional local government areas that are operating under Stage 3 restrictions, that number continues to fall and that is very pleasing,” he said.

Professor Brett Sutton said it was “good to see three consecutive days in double figures”.

“Wednesday is maintaining its reputation as a bit of a spike day... but there has been more testing as well,” he said.

“Again, we want to see more testing ... there is absolutely a stablisation in cases, we are only seeing three or four new cases in regional Victoria on a daily basis and that’s why the active cases are coming down.”

On Monday, Bupa Traralgon recorded its first case of COVID-19 in 12 days.

An additional staff member was revealed to have contracted the virus and is now isolating at home.

“All residents have returned negative test results, but we continue to monitor their health closely and do everything possible to help minimise the spread of infection,” a Bupa spokesperson said.

“All residents and employees will now undergo further rounds of testing as directed by the Public Health Unit.”

A dedicated regional roadmap is focus for government AS PART of its reopening plan, the state government will release a dedicated regional roadmap out of the coronavirus pandemic this weekend, based on localised health advice.

Premier Daniel Andrews will chart unveil two separate plans on Sunday - one for metropolitan Melbourne and one for regional Victoria.

Discussions are underway with industry, business, unions and community organisations to inform th final work on Victoria’s roadmap.

Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes will lead consultation with regional partnership committees, employers and unions to ensure regional communities are kept safe and local businesses can rebuild. “I’ve been talking to country communities throughout this pandemic and will continue to do so - making sure we have local voices shaping how we respond and recover from this virus,� Ms Symes said.

The state government will also consult with community support organisations on the impacts of social isolation on Victorians.

Consultation will continue today with advice to be provided to Victoria’s public health team who will consider feedback as work on the roadmap continues.

Industry Support and Recovery Minister Martin Pakula said a vital part of the roadmap was a focus on keeping COVID-19 infection numbers “low�.

Mr Andrews said two courses would be plotted considering “regional Victoria and Melbourne are experiencing this virus in different ways�. “That’s why we need a dedicated regional roadmap to plan for - and protect - regional Victoria,� he said. “We want to open up the whole of our state in a steady and safe way. Because no matter your postcode, we’re in this together.�

Emergency extension looming

By KATE WITHERS

VICTORIA’S State of Emergency will be extended by six months after a bill passed the Upper House in the wee hours of yesterday morning.

Victorian Greens MP Samantha Ratnam had the swaying vote in the Upper House after making a surprise return from maternity leave to have her say.

Following a marathon sitting, the amended bill passed 20 to 19, with Reason Party MP Fiona Patten and Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick also voting in favour of the six-month extension.

Premier Daniel Andrews initially proposed a 12-month extension of the State of Emergency, which is set to expire on September 13.

Speaking to media yesterday, Mr Andrews said more about the rules and formalities involved with the State of Emergency will be covered off when the government unveils its roadmap out of the pandemic this weekend.

But Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath, who spoke out against the extension in parliament on Tuesday, alleged the State of Emergency extension was the product of a “dodgy deal� between the state government and crossbench MPs. “The extraordinary powers delivered through the State of Emergency have been forced through with no liability

and no responsibility,� Ms Bath said. “Daniel Andrews’ approach throughout the coronavirus crisis has been completely lacking openness and accountability, and his government forced through a murky deal with the help of independents. “A State of Emergency should only be given with tight controls and proper parliamentary scrutiny.�

Ms Bath said she was “extremely disappointed� by the “arrogance and utter contempt� shown by the government towards Victorians.

Victorians are in lockdown due to the mismanagement and incompetence of the Andrews Government’s bungled hotel quarantine program. “Daniel Andrews has now been handed a dangerous new blank cheque to continue locking Victorians down and inflict further social and economic damage. “Regional Victorians will continue to suffer because the Andrews Labor Government mismanaged outbreaks in the city. “Throughout the pandemic, Labor has deliberately refused to be transparent. No-one is denying sensible measures must be taken, however this should never come at the expense of democracy and transparency.�

The Bill will now be referred to the Lower House where it is expected to be passed as Labor holds 55 of the 88 seats.

Crowning glory: The Future Morwell project was officially completed this week.

file photograph

Project’s completion shows Future is now

By KATE WITHERS

THE Future Morwell is complete after the final brick was placed in a major streetscape redevelopment of the Morwell CBD. The set of four projects started in 2014 with funding from the Bushfire Economic Recovery Fund and provided an opportunity to reshape the town’s identity by investing in infrastructure, outdoor spaces and natural assets and events.

In addition to the Urban Design and Beautification Project, initiatives included a campaign to promote the town as a destination for tourism and investment, along with an events project to reposition Morwell as the ‘Town of Gardens’, and a Morwell City Entrance Project.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing welcomed the completion of the project.

“Way back in 2014 there was a lot of interest around what we could do to promote Morwell as the vibrant, livable town that it

is,” Ms Shing told The Express.

“The feedback we’ve had from local business and community is that this is really vital work that helps rejuvenate the physical aspect of Morwell, but also the psychological ... for the community, there’ s a real sense of excitement and prosperity around about what the future holds for Morwell.”

The now iconic Morwell sign which abuts the Morwell/ Leongatha exit of the Princes Highway, is a centrepiece but is just one part of the over-arching project.

Another facet of the Urban Design project will be the integration of smart city technologies, including smart street lighting, wireless phone charging, free public Wi-Fi and a people counting sensor to monitor activation in the street.

“The Morwell sign is fantastic, but it’s also the lighting, the vibrant colours we’ve highlighted, the streetscapes, the artwork, the town entrance and

y a D s ’ d a D M a ke y a d y r e - ev s ’ k s e p e e w c i a ls s i h T Rib eye Steak

all the fantastic work around the rose gardens,” Ms Shing said.

“We’re also increasing accessibility ... through wireless phone charging stations and free public wifi to ensure that everybody can be connected.

“We’ve now got this rejuvenated town centre that acknowledges Morwell’s past while building on our present, just in time for spring.”

Future Morwell has been funded in part from the state government and the Latrobe Valley Authority and has been delivered by the Latrobe City Council in partnership with the Future Morwell Committee.

“Since being elected in 2014 we have produced vital projects for the region including the construction of new schools, upgraded school buildings, the TAFE redevelopment at Morwell, the Latrobe Valley GovHub, and new and upgraded sporting facilities,” Ms Shing said.

EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tick of approval for plant Continued from page 1

Mr Latimer stressed there would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;no risksâ&#x20AC;? posed to human health or the environment, but he understood there would be some people in the community â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointedâ&#x20AC;? by the EPA decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot for the regulator to grant this approval, there were no free kicks in this. There was a high level of scrutiny and it was a far more stringent process that what people may be aware of,â&#x20AC;? Mr Latimer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be built to the strictest limits of any plant of this type in the world, it will comply with any standard in the world.We are grateful the EPA stuck to facts and not hype.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Latimer said he hoped Latrobe City councillors would â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongly considerâ&#x20AC;? the EPA approval when deciding on the planning application.

The EPA granted the works approval following 10 months of public consultation, community information sessions, referral to other agencies, and technical assessments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The application was referred to eight government agencies for advice and EPA engaged a technical specialist with comprehensive knowledge of ULAB recycling world-wide to review the technical proposal,â&#x20AC;? EPA development assessments manager Stephen Adamthwaite said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;EPA is satisfied, subject to conditions, that the proposal will comply with the relevant legislation, polices and guidelines.â&#x20AC;?

Disappointed in EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision: Hazelwood North Action Group spokesperson Andy Tegart said the group was in the midst of looking through the conditions attached to the Works Approval and reviewing any implications this could have on the community. photograph hayley mills

Group is weighing up options

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Hazelwood North Action Group has not confirmed yet if it will appeal an Environment Protection Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Works Approval for a proposed used lead acid battery recycling plant.

HNAG spokesman Andy Tegart said the group was in the midst of looking through the conditions attached to the Works Approval and reviewing any

implications this could have on the community.

The group formed more than a year ago in opposition to the proposed plant on Fourth Road with fears of potential lead contamination affecting the nearby area. Objectors have 21 days to appeal the EPA decision with the Victorian Civil Appeals Tribunal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are disappointed by the EPA decision, but we are still digesting

and reviewing the detail of the Works Approval,â&#x20AC;? Mr Tegart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the result was not that surprising given the EPA has a legal obligation to to assess the application using existing regulations and guidance.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Tegart accused the EPA of using â&#x20AC;&#x153;outdatedâ&#x20AC;? standards on lead emissions and called for the regulator to review permitted levels in line with other countries such as the USA.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local community members had always advocated for the best possible future human safety and environmental outcomes, what are the best possible job outcomes for the surrounding community?â&#x20AC;? Mr Tegart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been advocating for the most vulnerable who would be exposed to heavy metals, these are the ones we should consider from the outset. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give the poor old Valley the best outcome.â&#x20AC;?

Traralgon scene of fatal fire

By TESSA RANDELLO

A MAN in his 50s died and another was airlifted to a Melbourne-based hospital following a house fire in Traralgon on Monday night.

Police confirmed on Tuesday the cause of the blaze at the Cowell Court property was not suspicious.

Latrobe Crime Investigation Unit Detective Sergeant Simon Ross said the fire appears to have been started by a cigarette. ““As far as I can tell the actual fire was contained to the front living room with smoke spreading through the house and possibly made it difficult for the occupants to make it out of the house,” he said.

“There’s extensive fire damage to the front living room and there is smoke and water damage throughout the house but it hasn’t been completely engulfed.

“It’s a pretty small court, the occupants were known to people here, it is an absolute tragedy.”

The identity of the deceased has not been released publicly, but the man at the Melbourne-based hospital is Nigel Willoughby, 74.

Mr Willoughby was last night in a critical condition.

His daughter Marcia said the family is trying to remain positive.

“He’s gone for scans and things like that but they are waiting on a surgical team to assess him and make the decision if they are going to do surgery or not,” she said.

“Hopefully he survives this and comes home to his kids.”

A Fire Rescue Victoria spokesperson said firefighters initially fought the fire through the front window of the property.

“Firefighters arrived on scene within six minutes ... and crews wearing breathing apparatus made entry into the house to search for occupants,” the spokesperson said.

“The fire was declared under control about 20 minutes after FRV crews

Cowell Court resident Vanessa Hocking said she was worried about Mr Willoughby.

“Nigel is a lovely man, he is such a great guy, he would walk past the house

always have a yap?” Ms Hocking said.

Ms Hocking said she was woken by sirens on Monday night and decided to have a look when she heard them approaching.

“When I came out of my home there was a fire truck in the court, we ended

up with four fire trucks, five cop cars and three ambulances here,” she said.

Summer blackouts risk drops THE risk of blackouts this summer has fallen significantly because of the development of large scale renewable energy projects and the uptake of rooftop solar, according to the latest report from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

“Australia’s power supply is reliable now that it is being supported by new renewable energy sources,” Climate Council’s senior researcher Tim Baxter said.

AEMO’s 10-year reliability forecast found an additional 4300 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity will be operational this summer compared to last summer.

“That’s enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes.

Australia is the sunniest and one of the windiest countries in the world, which means we can have clean, reliable and affordable power,” he said.

“AEMO has made it clear that Australia does not need any new gas developments. Gas is a bad investment that will increase our greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate dangerous climate change.

“This report shows that renewables, backed by storage and good management are more than capable of providing power to Australians.

“States and territories must accelerate their plans to replace their ageing and increasingly unreliable coal power stations with renewable energy.”

A window into family’s personal tale

By TESSA RANDELLO

BUPA Traralgon had its first ‘window visits’ on Wednesday, allowing residents and their loved ones to visit almost face-to-face.

The visits allow Bupa residents and their loved ones to sit on either side of a window with a table and chair set up and speak over the phone.

The home is still locked down indefinitely with no visits allowed for residents.

Lynette Lay took the opportunity to see her 90-year-old mother Elaine face-to-face for the first time in about two months.

“It is really good to see her, I would really like to give her a hug, which I can’t of course but if I could come down daily to talk to her it will be great,” she said.

“The last time I got this close to my mum was in July, it has been awful because I can ring her but it is just not the same.

“I worry because I used to take mum for days out, even for a few hours. I think it’s very isolating for them inside, they can get depressed which is only natural because they are locked in just a room, they can’t mingle with other residents.”

Ms Lay said her mother has been tested for COVID-19 “probably eight to 10 times” and has tested negative each time.

“We are more relieved now, mum’s tests have always come back clear so we were not as worried as others, but I was worried because coronavirus can get out of hand so quickly but our minds have been put at rest, we are relieved now.” “(When the outbreak started) we were more worried but Bupa have been really good, they contact us after every test and (phone calls) are ongoing, we are still being contacted every day.”

Ms Lay said her mother also had an “isolation birthday” when she turned 90.

“The situation sounds a bit more positive now and the tests are coming back clear, so hopefully it will improve and we can come in... with mum now

Good to see you: Lynette Lay speaks to her mother Elaine inside Bupa Traralgon on the first day of ‘window visits’ for the aged care home. at 90-years-old I would like to spend as much quality time together while we can.”

Bupa Aged Care regional manager Gavin Young said residents were excited to hear the news of ‘window visits’.

“Our residents have had to be in their

rooms during this time, to see their families is irreplaceable so it will just mean the world to them and there is already some excitement in the home,” he said.

“We are asking the loved ones to bring their mobile phone and we have a phone

setup in the home so that they can see one another while they chat.

Mr Young said the visits are scheduled to ensure infection control at Bupa Traralgon.

“In between each of the visits we do a deep clean of the room to ensure that

photograph hayley mills

the residents make sure that we are maintaining infection control,” he said.

“Visiting family members will have to battle the elements a little bit and sit outside but I’m sure they won’t mind so that they can see their mum or dad or loved one.”

SMEC celebrates 25 years working across Victoria THEY are the engineering firm behind some of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest infrastructure projects and celebrating 25 years in Victoria.

SMEC has welcomed the milestone saying it looks forward to continuing to invest in the region as part of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Buildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; infrastructure investment plan.

With its roots in the iconic Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme, SMEC has grown over the past 70 years into a truly global engineering consultancy.

Celebrating the anniversary, SMEC Australia chief executive officer James Phillis said that the Victorian team has come a long way from when a team of 17 people shifted from the state-owned Rural Water Corporation (RWC) to join SMEC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time, the Victorian State Government was regionalising the RWC and divesting itself of its technical services personnel,â&#x20AC;? Mr Phillis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agreement struck between SMEC Australia and the Victorian Government provided for a SMEC staff buyout of the intellectual property and chattels of the Dams Group of the RWC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bold move that included a consultancy agreement for several years to service the five Regional Water Authorities which succeeded the Rural Water Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The starting members comprised specialists in dam investigations, design, construction, operation, maintenance and surveillance, including civil and mechanical engineers, construction engineers, experienced construction supervisors and support personnel.

During the following two years, the fledging SMEC Victoria team expanded to 30 staff servicing the dams, irrigation and environmental sectors in Australia, with offices in Melbourne, Tatura and at Hume Dam (Wodonga).

In 2004, the 50-strong team integrated with the larger SMEC to further grow the Victorian business into the transport and urban development sectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Victorian business now has over 400 employees spread over its three offices in Melbourne, Traralgon and Geelong,â&#x20AC;? Mr Phillis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was especially important for us to maintain a strong presence in regional Victoria and have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boots on the groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to support our clients there. From the Rural Water Corporation, to partnering with many regional water authorities, we have always had strong ties to regional Victoria and intend to keep it that way.â&#x20AC;?

Of the 17 original employees, three are still working full time with SMEC. They are Dam Safety chief technical principal Gamini Adikari, Dam Safety technical principal Bandula Kendaragama and Dams/Geotechnical principal engineer Rod Westmore, who were all congratulated on achieving their 25-year milestone with SMEC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our culture is a big part of what makes us a key contributor to Australian and international infrastructure development. SMECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture is typified by technical excellence, client focus and strong loyalty - as exemplified by Gamini, Bandula and Rod,â&#x20AC;? Mr Phillis said.

He added that while the current pandemic prevented a gathering of the original SMEC Victoria start-up team, they hoped to gather officially later this year to celebrate.

If I work as an independent contractor, am I covered by WorkCover?

The nature of work has changed significantly over recent decades, with more people now engaged in “nontraditional employment” arrangements with “workers” being employed under short-term, temporary or freelance contracts.

As a result, the question of who is covered by WorkCover has become more complex.

To shed some light on this issue, Kirsty Osborne, Associate at Adviceline Injury Lawyers considers the recent case of Severino v Tsaousidis [2018].

The facts The defendant , Mr Tsaousidis, offered the plaintiff, Mr Severino, work performing odd jobs on the properties he owned.

Mr Tsaousidis paid Mr Severino $100 cash for a full day’s work and $50 cash for a half day’s work. The arrangement was on a day-to-day basis and Mr Tsaousidis would let Mr Severino know each time he wanted him to work the following day. Mr Tsaousidis provided all of the equipment needed and showed Mr Severino how he wanted each job done.

In October 2015, whilst working on Mr Tsaousidis’s roof, Mr Severino fell off a ladder onto timber decking.

Mr Severino’s WorkCover claim was rejected on the basis that he was not a “worker” as defined by WorkCover legislation. This decision was challenged at Court.

What happened at Court?

Magistrate Garnett found Mr Severino was a “worker” and was therefore entitled to WorkCover payments. In reaching this decision His Honour noted the evidence of the paramedic who attended the scene. The paramedic stated she was told Mr Severino was injured “whilst working” and that other people were trying to contact “his boss”.

These factors, along with Mr Tsaousidis’s provision of materials and instructions to Mr Severino, all indicated the relationship between Mr Tsaousidis and Mr Severino was one of employer and employee.

What does this mean for workers?

A non- traditional employment arrangement does not automatically exclude you from WorkCover. Each relationship is different and must be examined in its totality.

If you are unsure whether you are entitled to WorkCover, contact Morwell lawyer, Kirsty Osborne on (03) 9321 9988.

School’s Quantum donation

QUANTUM Support Services were thrilled to receive the support of the Newborough East Primary School in leading a donation drive for their Women and Children’s refuge.

The support service provider said they were overwhelmed by the generosity of the school and the community, with the donation drive attracting considerable attention on social media.

The donation drive resulted in a significant quantity and array of goods that will contribute toward assisting women and children to reestablish their lives after the impact of family violence.

Donations included towels, bed sheets, board games, kitchen utensils,

pillows, rugs, doonas and much needed monetary donations.

Quantum Innovations and Community Strengthening manager Lisa Simpson highlighted the importance of the donations, along with the efforts of Newborough East Primary School in raising awareness about the impacts of family violence.

“The donation drive has proven very successful in providing an avenue for community to support our service in a very tangible way,” she said.

“The initiative has also supported an increased awareness in local community of one of the key services offered by our organisation, and on a broader level, the impacts of family violence.

Newborough East Primary School principal Julie Skee said they were proud to support Quantum.

“This initiative is something I felt was important, not only in our role as a Respectful Relationships Lead School, but also as a member of the community,” she said.

“Unfortunately, with the rise in numbers of those affected by family violence, and the need for refuge housing, as a school community we wanted to help out in any way we could.

“The collection of bedding, sanitary products, games etc. was one small way we could do this.”

FIREWOOD collectors across Gippsland are being urged to start planning their winter firewood needs as part of the opening of the spring collection season.

Designated firewood collection areas opened across Victoria on Tuesday, allowing communities to gather wood for personal use.

All firewood collection activities must comply with public health measures, prioritising the safety of the Victorian community.

Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) Gippsland deputy chief fire officer Bethany Roberts said they are anticipating an increased demand for firewood during the spring and autumn collection seasons.

“Due to a range of impacts, including last summer’s bushfires, we are anticipating that demand will exceed supply in some areas of the region.”

Dr Roberts said.

“We are urging people who rely on firewood for heating and cooking

to consider all options, including purchasing firewood from local merchants selling legally obtained wood.

“In fire affected communities, we are continuing to look for opportunities to provide alternative collection areas and restrict access to residents of certain postcodes or local government areas.

“We want to remind the community that firewood can only be taken from designated collection areas in state

QUEENSLAND will host the AFL grand final for the first time on October 24.

AFL chief executive officer Gillon McLachlan confirmed the news yesterday.

He announced Brisbane was chosen ahead of bids by the Adelaide Oval, Optus Stadium in Perth and the Sydney Cricket Ground.

“It is my pleasure to formally announce the grand final will be played in Queensland at The Gabba,” Mr McLachlan said.

“I want to thank Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews for working with us to ensure the 2020 AFL grand final can be played safely in front of a crowd.”

It will be the first time in the history of the VFL/ AFL that the match has been played outside of Victoria.

Mr McLachlan also revealed it will be played at night for the first time, but remained coy when quizzed on a specific start time.

The unprecedented move was a result of Victoria being the hardest hit state in the nation by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Local set to run for Baw Baw Shire

YARRAGON woman Inge Mitchell has declared she is planning to run for a seat on Baw Baw Shire at next month’s local council election.

Ms Mitchell is contesting one of three positions on East Ward, currently held by councillors Michael Leaney, Darren Wallace and Peter Kostos.

The long-term local is returning for a second crack at local government after having previously sat on the old Narracan Shire for 18 months in the mid-90s, just before shire amalgamations took place.

She said back then, the provision of drinkable water was a big issue and she became part of a group of councillors who “radically overhauled management and made it more effective”.

These days, planning issues, infrastructure, use of rates, getting people more engaged with local government and understanding how council could benefit them, were some of her key issues.

She said one of the more recent issues to pique her interest was a controversial planning application for a new petrol station Yarragon.

“I think we should start looking at

what do we really need in terms of infrastructure and what can we really afford? How well oiled is the machine?

How effective are certain contracts being fulfilled?” Ms Mitchell said.

“I want to go out and find out what the community wants, visit community groups and make myself visible.

“I also want to encourage people to watch council meetings online, as people often have no idea about how local government directly affects them.”

Ms Mitchell has been involved in the Yarragon and District Community Association, Yarragon Business

COVID-19 challenges

As we watch the circumstances around Covid-19 evolve, those of us who reside in Regional Victoria have now moved back to Stage 3 restrictions effective from 11:59pm on Wednesday 5th August. This means significant change for many employers, employees, individuals, organisations and families.

Stage 3 restrictions include the following rules:

• There are only four reasons to leave home – Shopping for food and essentials, care and caregiving, work and study, and daily exercise • If you can work from home you must work from home • Restaurants and cafes will move to takeaway only • Beauty and personal services will close • Community Sport will cease • Face Coverings are Mandatory • Remote learning to return across all year levels of school • No visitors permitted to frequent your home • Only two people allowed in a public gathering or household members only https://www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covid-19-restrictions-victoria

LATROBE City Council is reminding home renovators that the Building Services team is available to answer questions relating to building works and permits during the restrictions.

Mayor Dan Clancey, said that some projects around the home still required permits.

“We’ve all seen the photos of people queuing outside Bunnings to grab their paint or other materials.

We’re spending more time at home and it’s tempting to start those long overdue projects. We’d just like to make sure that people understand that building work, home alterations and/or maintenance may still need a building permit,” he said.

“Our Building Services team is ready to answer any questions or provide information and advice with regard to building works and permits. The website also includes detailed information on building permits and possible permit exemptions under the Building Regulations.

“We can also provide contact details of private building surveyors who are also still working. They can help with issuing a building permit for work you may wish to carry out on your property during this time.

“Before you start your renovation or work, we strongly urge you to check in with us.

“Our responsibility is to ensure that work is safe, not only for the residents of the house, but for their neighbours too. We also want to ensure that no one receives a penalty for building work that has been undertaken without a permit.”

There’s nothing rubbish about taking extra precautions

AS COVID-19 cases continue to be active in Latrobe City, residents are being urged to take extra precautions when disposing of their rubbish for kerbside collection.

Latrobe City Council is reminding residents that if a case of COVID-19 is present in your household - or if there is a risk of an occupant being a close contact of a positive case - you need to be vigilant about minimising the risk of inadvertently passing on the virus to others through disposing of your rubbish.

COVID-19 is spread from person to person through such interactions as: ■ Close contact with an infectious person ■ Contact with droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze ■ Touching objects or surfaces such as doorknobs or tables contaminated by cough or sneeze droplets from a person infected with COVID-19 and then touching your mouth or face.

“It takes just a little extra time to make a big difference to the risk of contracting COVID-19 posed to our rubbish collectors and others in the community,” Mayor Dan Clancey said.

To help minimise the risk, Latrobe City residents are urged to: ■ Wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water before taking their bin to the kerb, and also afterwards ■ If you take a bin out on behalf of others, wear gloves and dispose of them by placing them in plastic bag and then in a bin ■ If you or a member of your household has COVID-19, you can continue to place all your usual rubbish in your red lid garbage bin for kerbside collection. Wash your hands afterwards.

The following disposable items should be placed in a sealed plastic or paper bag and then disposed of in your red lid garbage bin for kerbside collection: tissues, cleaning cloths, disposable masks and gloves. Paper, cardboard and other recyclables that have mixed with these items should also be placed in your red lid bin.

To help waste collectors, be sure to: ■ Compact rubbish, if possible, before putting it in your kerbside general waste bin.

■ Don’t compact waste that is already in the bin. It may become stuck and not empty properly.

■ Don’t overfill waste or recycling kerbside bins or put them where they may easily tip over or spill.

■ Disposable face masks, tissues and gloves can only be disposed of in garbage bins.

Council will continue to collect waste from kerbsides and Council’s transfer stations will remain open during Stage 3 restrictions in Victoria, in response to the pandemic.

In the spotlight: The Strzelecki koala could be facing an uncertain future with estimates of fewer than 1500 of the endemic species remaining, according to a new report. file photograph

Protect our unique koalas

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Strzelecki koala could be facing an uncertain future with estimates of fewer than 1500 of the endemic species remaining, according to a new report.

Friends of the Earth land use researcher Anthony Amis will be hosting a forum to present survey findings and discussing what more can be done to protect the Strzelecki koala.

Mr Amis is also encouraging locals to jump on a Friends of the Strzelecki Koala Facebook page to report their own sightings, and even list roadkills

which make up an important part of the count.

“The Strzelecki koala is of national significance and we don’t have much of this gene pool left, these are globally important koala populations,” Mr Amis said.

“We’d love locals to get behind this as we are not sure residents really understand how important they are.

We’d love locals to send us sightings.

We even got a report of one at the Churchill kinder.”

The environment group carried out about 200 surveys covering 5000 hectares around South Gippsland and Latrobe Valley late last year

THE state government will deliver vital maintenance and safety works at more than 400 schools to support jobs and local businesses through the coronavirus pandemic and improve facilities for students and staff across Victoria.

Education Minister James Merlino earlier this week announced hundreds of schools will share in more than $15.3 million through the 2020-21 Bushfire Preparedness (Vegetation) Program and Planned Maintenance Program.

“These projects will create jobs, boost local businesses and create safer schools for kids across the state,” he said.

“Our record investment in school infrastructure is delivering high quality classrooms for our hard-working principals, teachers and students.”

“We are ensuring that every Victorian school is well maintained and safe so that every student can learn in the best possible environment.”

towards maintenance to Shelter-inPlace buildings at 12 schools, which provide temporary accommodation to staff and students in the case of a bushfire.

Works with contractors will be carried out under COVID-19 advice guidelines to ensure the health and safety of staff and students.

However, he said last year’s Yinnar South fires had burnt out some of the “best sites” where koalas had been recorded six years ago, and he hopes to return for a recount when restrictions are lifted.

“In a healthy koala population, occupancy rate should be around 50 per cent, indicating that koalas in the region are moving back into habitat, following near extinction 100 years ago,” Mr Amis said.

and earlier this year. Mr Amis hopes more surveys will be completed after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

He said the Strzelecki koala was an endemic population consisting of the original gene pool that inhabits South Gippsland.

Other koala populations are made up of translocated animals across Victoria and South Australia sourced from island populations from a limited gene pool.

Mr Amis said surveys found 28 per cent occupancy rates in 60 sites, with a few sighted around Trafalgar, the Haunted Hills, Mirboo North, and Mullungdung state forests.

Good doctor loving the Valley

By CHER JIMENEZ

Home away from home: Dr Damian Hannon moved to Gippsland in 2018 after completing his medical studies in his native Ireland to practice as a GP for a local clinic.

AN overseas-trained doctor who chose regional Victoria over the lure of the city has this to say about working and living in the countryside - you’ll never regret it.

Dr Damian Hannon moved to Gippsland in 2018 after completing his medical studies in his native Ireland to practice as a GP for a local clinic.

The 31-year-old took the Eastern Victoria rural pathway to train as a GP when he moved to Australia in 2015.

“I lived in Tamworth in NSW and worked my way to Victoria” he told The Express.

Dr Hannon lived in Melbourne for a year, however decided to further his training in Gippsland to become a GP. “I was lucky to live in a granny flat with a local family,” said the Moe-based doctor.

Dr Hannon said the rural pathway required overseas-trained doctors to practice in a regional area for 10 years as a visa continued.

He said general practice was something that took him by surprise as he always liked the variety of emergency medicine.

But he felt that the lack of continued connection with the patient after that initial encounter in the emergency department was not something that was appealing to him.

Dr Hannon said there are some misconceptions around rural country practice among overseastrained doctors that he wanted to dispel.

“We need to change the perception that the work is not interesting. We need to change perception that work is so challenging that people stay away and

intimidates people from applying,” he said.

Dr Hannon said some doctors believe that working in a rural community will require a 24/7 schedule and that practitioners will have to do “multitasking” because of the lack of specialists in the area.

“That’s not the case,” he said.

He said there is a lot to be done to address the lack of GPs in the Latrobe Valley, including ways to encourage practicing doctors to stay in the area by offering support to their family members such as better schools and employment opportunities for their partners.

Dr Hannon said working and living in Latrobe Valley has opened his eyes to the benefits of country living, especially during the pandemic.

“I bought a property in Moe South and I plan to be here in the long-term, COVID-19 showed me the benefits of rural living,” he said.

Dr Hannon said he also loved the warm welcome that he was receiving from his patients.

“It’s great, I love it. People are really grateful for the care and they want to invest in you,” he said.

“They often ask how long you’re going to be here (and) the quality of medicine is really good, there’s lots of opportunities to develop your skills.”

He encouraged doctors to consider living and working in regional Victoria to know the many benefits it offers.

“Stop looking at rural living as an obligation but an opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Look at me, I never thought I’d live in a farm,” he said.

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

Applications open today for forestry fund APPLICATIONS will open today for the Forestry Recovery Development Fund, which will provide $40 million in grant funding to help industry recover from the devastating summer bushfires.

Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries Jonathon Duniam said competitive grants of between $1 million and $5 million would strengthen industry and create jobs in our forestry communities.

“The summer bushfires impacted 130,000 hectares of plantation forests and about 2 million hectares of public native forest available for timber production,” he said.

“The Forestry Recovery Development Fund will support Australia’s forestry industries to build back better by investing in public-private partnerships that deliver innovation and industry diversification for long-term success.

“The Morrison Government is committed to supporting the forest industry in its recovery, which is why grants will be available for a number of projects, including upgrading existing facilities and technology, installing new facilities and diversification to make the business more resilient.

“I am committed to making sure the forestry industry is in a strong position to continue to grow and recover, and the Morrison Government will be there every step of the way.”

Grants will be delivered through a competitive grants process with applications to open tomorrow, for projects to be completed by June 30, 2023.

The guidelines and information on applying for the grants can be found on the Grant Connect and Community Grants Hub websites.

A SCIENTIFIC paper attacking native forestry’s role in fires that formed the basis of a letter widely circulated in Gippsland newspapers has been withdrawn from academic publication because it contains errors.

The peer-reviewed paper, which claimed timber harvesting makes forests more flammable, was by Professor James Kirkpatrick, Suyanti Winoto-Lewin and Jenny Sanger from the University of Tasmania.

It has been retracted from the MDPI journal Fire, MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Australia) said in a statement.

The paper formed part of the platform of an opinion article by Professor Kirkpatrick published in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald in May.

Co-authors of the opinion piece were Dr Sanger, Dr Chris Taylor, Dr Robert Kooyman, Dr Phil Zylstra and Professor James Watson.

Following this, Dr Zylstra and the other scientists, but not Professor Kirkpatrick, published a letter to the editor reiterating these claims that was widely published throughout Gippsland and country Victoria.

They strongly attacked a peer-reviewed paper on the role of timber harvesting and fire led by Peter Attiwill, a retired Associate Professor from the School of Botany at Melbourne University.

MDPI said the Tasmanian University authors were informed of some errors in the categorisation of forest types by a colleague. The major error was the incorrect inclusion of a category of plantation from a publicly available vegetation type layer.

“There were also other sites which were incorrectly categorized. The authors reclassified or removed the sites that were obviously incorrect, added new randomly located sites to compensate for excluded sites and added more site pairs,” MDPI said.

“The data were then checked by an independent colleague, an expert in the forest type, who was able to check each identification. The results of analyses of the new data set were sufficiently different to those of the original paper to make it inappropriate to make minor corrections.”

MDPI said during the reanalysis, a close examination of the data indicated that the outcomes were highly sensitive to variation in fire intensity in a low number of sites.

This indicated the need for a larger data set and complementary analyses

using GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques.

“This paper is therefore retracted and shall be marked accordingly. The Fire Editorial Office (and authors) apologise to the readers of Fire. The paper is retracted to ensure the addition of only high-quality scientific works to the field of scholarly communication,” MDPI said.

“MDPI is a member of the Committee on Public Ethics (COPE) and takes very seriously the responsibility to enforce strict ethical policies and standards.”

The Australian Forest Products Association said the fake bushfire research was a major blow to anti-native forest activists. AFPA chief executive officer Ross Hampton said the journal’s move was almost unheard of.

It had been applauded for its decisive and honourable action by a growing list of stakeholders - the Institute of

Foresters of Australia, forestry ministers in the federal and Tasmanian Governments, and Tasmania’s Shadow Minister for Resources, Shane Broad.

“The scientific consensus is that there is no causal link between timber harvesting in Australia and overall increased bushfire severity,” he said.

Native forestry used only six trees out of every 10,000 and the areas used were regenerated.

“The areas in question are so small the proposition is patently absurd,” he said.

However, a contributing author of the withdrawn paper and researcher, Dr Jennifer Sanger, said the retraction had had a “negligible” effect on the science.

The retraction did not affect the prevailing findings of other scientists in Australia and overseas.

“It’s not like our study is the only study out there,” she told the Burnie Advocate.

Don proved a man of many talents

D on Sykes was born in Cheshire, England.

The eldest of five children, he left school aged 14 for a fitters apprenticeship, building Lancaster bombers.

In his spare time he worked on his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm until it was sold after his grandfathers heart attack.

It was here his farming career began.

His apprenticeship stopped when his left leg suddenly broke at age 16.

He spent six months in a lower body plaster cast.

Afterwards, although on crutches, he found a job as a trainee draughtsman.

Part way through this traineeship, his leg broke again and he spent another six months in plaster.

Meanwhile, his grandfather recovered, bought another farm and Don moved back working for him.

In 1950 he met Betty.

They married in 1952 and bought an old house which Don renovated.

But farming was still important.

He fattened pigs at his grandfathers, sold eggs and repaired motorbikes, cars and tractors to make enough money to buy their own farm.

When he was twenty-four his leg broke again and he was on crutches for another twelve months.

During convalescence he

two bedroom house. Callignee was almost â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frontier countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; electricity only being available in the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

To help pay the way Don planted trees for APM. He then built everything on the farm and established a mixed enterprise of cattle, sheep and horticulture.

Don was a strong community supporter.

He helped at the Callignee Hall, where they installed a urinal in the toilet, replaced the roof and other smaller jobs.

He was a member of the Morwell Operatic Society competing in Latrobe Valley Eisteddfods, winning first prize for a male vocalist.

His artistic qualities even extended to poetry, winning first prize of $720 in a Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day competition with a poem to Betty!

In 1978 he was elected to the Traralgon Shire Council.

Re-elected in 1986 he remained on council until the Shire was abolished in 1994.

Don was the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative to the Latrobe Regional Commission from 1984 to 1994 and Shire President twice.

His repertoire of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories and quick wit kept many amused at official gatherings!

As retirement approached he transported an old house to Callignee and renovated it.

When he finally retired, he and Betty cruised the English Canal system on a narrow boat

Don Sykes Traralgon Shire Councillor, Shire President, Farmer and Singer 1930-2020. found a 19-acre small holding on a cliff top overlooking North Cornwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notorious shipwreck coast.

The farm was basic. It had a house and a separate cottage but no water to the cottage.

Don soon fixed that!

He then renovated the house.

The farm struggled to keep the family so he found a job at a nearby tin mine.

Don was not considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Cornwall in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, having come from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;up northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

An economic downturn saw his position at the mine given to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

There was nothing for it; the farm had to pay!

Don converted the barn into a piggery on the ground floor with a deep litter hen house above.

He grew potatoes, broccoli, cabbage and other vegetables.

Even with increased production it was unable to provide for their growing family.

Their children, Andrew and

DON SYKES Gwynneth, were both born in Cornwall.

They leased another 12 acres.

But with no more land available in the district they decided it was time to take their young family to Australia, arriving in 1968.

Callignee was the fortunate recipient of Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills.

He bought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bruthen Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, so called because when the 1944 fires destroyed the farm house on part of John Bodycombâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection,â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fern Grangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the old Bruthen Creek Post Office was transported and converted to a

March 12, 1934, Chris arrived in Australia to join his uncle in Melbourne at age 17 and worked at his cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant in the city.

His commitment to his new country included two years service in the Armed Forces (as British Citizen from Cyprus) and he proudly marched every Anzac Day for many years.

Chris moved to Traralgon in 1959 where he met Loulla, who he married shortly after.

A proud father to three children John, Emy and Roulla and adored pappou of seven grandchildren.

He held many jobs throughout Victoria including work at a cement factory and Bulla State Forest before settling at APM where he worked for many years until retired.

Chris was a valuable and respected member of our Greek community

CHRIS IOANNOU He played a pivotal role in assisting and developing the Greek Orthodox Community of Gippsland and also helped build the Community Centre next to the Church in the 70s.

Chris devoted his life to the Greek Orthodox Community of Gippsland and Greek Church.

He was the lead Psalti (Chanter) and lover to sing at all church services.

As a committee of management and president for more than 30 years, he was a pillar of support for many full of wisdom kindness and always there for everyone in need.

Anything he could do he would. He also held an executive position as a chairperson with Gippsland Multicultural Services for more than five years.

for fourteen months, proudly flying an Aussie Flag from the transom.

On their return to Australia they toured this wide brown land, caravanning across the Nullarbor to Perth.

In 2009, bushfires destroyed everything Don had built.

Twelve months later the house was rebuilt.

In retirement Don took a keen interest in farming, raking hay during harvest and discussing the seasons produce with locals.

He was an active member of the Morwell Book Club and a member of the Callignee Hall management committee.

A very respected member of the Callignee community, his compassion and sage advice will be missed.

What is the worst that can happen?

I REFER to your excellent leading item “Nuclear Debate” (The Express, August 24).

It is a very good idea to build nuclear power station in the Latrobe Valley.

The worst that can happen is for it to blow up in a massive atomic explosion.

Then we have no more problems, no more worries, no more Latrobe Valley and most importantly no more electricity bills.

Very simpoleum.

Richard Heller-Nicholas, Moe

Losing touch with battlers

WHEN political leaders, like Labor’s Daniel Andrews, are pulling in nearly $10,000 a week, and have a salary guaranteed by taxpayers, how can you expect them to identify with the fair dinkum battlers in the community?

To add insult to injury, none of these “fat cats” has seen fit to make a symbolic gesture by announcing that they will take a significant pay cut when more than 5 million Australians are now on one form of income support or another - JobSeeker or JobKeeper.

Not one.

Michael J Gamble, Belmont

Adding to the nuclear debate

NO DOUBT the articles in The Express (August 24) will cause a flurry of comment on nuclear power.

Yes, undoubtedly nuclear technology will have improved and would be safer than in the past, HOWEVER, no one has yet found a satisfactory solution for our great country to the long term safe disposal of high grade nuclear waste.

What has happened in the past in various parts of the world is a long term disaster waiting to happen and we certainly do not want to create another problem for future generations to deal with.

Sweden, a technologically advanced country is an example, they have had nuclear power for 40 plus years and it is only now that they have decided upon how to permanently deal with waste as follows.

Refer the World Nuclear Association. “The used fuel is stored under water in an underground rock cavern for some 40-50 years. It will then be encapsulated in copper canisters with a cast iron internal structure for final emplacement packed with bentonite clay in a 500 metre deep repository in granite”.

Even in this scenario the waste will take 3000 years to lose it’s radiation!

Despite two expensive attempts to clean up Maralinga in South Australia where atomic bomb tests were carried out by the British, the area still exhibits radioactivity.

If this cannot be managed how on earth can we expect any better?

One should note of course, that the time it takes to get anything major underway in this country, particularly in governing legislation, it will allow other power options to become more viable.

Noel Burrows, Traralgon

Discussion: The talk around a nuclear future for Victoria has generated more interest from letter writers this week.

Merchant Mariners’ vital wartime service

EACH year on September 3 we commemorate Merchant Navy Day and honour the invaluable role of our merchant mariners in serving Australia, especially in both world wars.

The origins of the day date back to 1939, when the first British merchant vessel, SS Athenia, was torpedoed and sunk without warning by the German submarine U-30 only 10 hours after Britain’s declaration of war.

The crews of the Merchant Navy were made up mostly of civilians and transported service personnel, supplies and equipment.

They faced a unique set of challenges - they were often unarmed, leaving them exposed to attack from the enemy. This attack could come in foreign waters and

even on occasion closer to the Australian shoreline.

More than 800 Australian merchant mariners are estimated to have tragically died while serving the Allied cause during the First and Second World Wars.

The most famous battle involving our merchant seamen was the Battle of Atlantic, which lasted the course of the Second World War and was fought across the Atlantic shipping lanes.

More than 3000 Allied merchant ships were sunk and some 30,000 Allied sailors and merchant mariners were lost at sea. I encourage all those in the community to learn more about Merchant Navy Day and the crucial role that merchant mariners have played in wars and conflicts by visiting the Anzac Portal.

On Merchant Navy Day we should all pause and remember their service and sacrifice, and say thank you for your service

to all our merchant mariners.

Lest we forget.

Darren Chester Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Minister for Defence Personnel

The Salvos celebrate 140 years of serving Australians

140 YEARS ago, on September 5th, 1880, a tradie and a railway worker stood on the back of an apple cart in Adelaide’s Botanic Park and shouted, “If there’s a man here who hasn’t had a square meal today, let him come home to tea with me.”

They didn’t know this at the time, but they were about to start something that would significantly transform the lives of tens of millions of Australians in the years to come. That

declaration is known as the first unofficial Salvation Army meeting in Australia and what was to become famously regarded as the birth of The Salvos. 140 years on and we are still here!

While we may not be jumping on the back of apple carts, we are still providing meals to those who need it.

We are still providing accommodation for those suffering from homelessness, family and domestic violence and addiction.

We are still providing emergency relief for those in financial hardship.

We are still assisting those impacted by disaster. We are still giving hope, where it is needed most.

It is often said to me that, “There is nothing more Aussie than calling The Salvation Army, ‘The Salvos’.”

And while I agree that The Salvos have become known as quintessentially Aussie, from the rattling of the tins during

Online comments BIRTHDAY PARTY TURNS SOUR Leonie Davis: This is ridiculous.

There’s people out there doing the right thing, missing out on seeing their family, friends etc ... and this probably keeps us in lockdown longer ... people need to get it through their heads, we are in Stage 3 lockdown, no visitors to your house, quite simple l think.

Emma Boland: This is why we have restrictions. Because people can’t be trusted to use their brains and do the right thing. This would even have breached the rules we had before the Stage 3 restrictions came in, which is why we can’t currently even have one visitor. People think the rules don’t apply to them.

Narelle Griffiths: We had planned a 13th birthday party pre-lockdown. But, due to the lockdown a week before the birthday we chose to rain check and are now awaiting restrictions to ease to be able to celebrate so many family events as one big family event.

GOVERNMENT WILL RELEASE PLANS TO “REOPEN” VICTORIA Ted Priest: Do not under any circumstances put us at risk of another outbreak of COVID-19 and put us back into restrictions. It’s not worth it. Short-term pain for long-term gain.

Gordon Newton: Hopefully we still have to wear a mask.

Cindy Shanahan: Great news!

Page 18 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Thursday, 3 September, 2020

VALLEY CASE NUMBERS CLIMB Adele Whelan: Yes this was going to happen - they finally opened up several more testing places across the Valley. The cases were always here, they’re now being diagnosed.

Jo Forbes: It doesn’t surprise me, especially with how many people are not social distancing, having many other people visit on a daily basis, and their lives haven’t changed at all.

Alison Shea: Maybe people need to stop having family gatherings and birthday parties ...

HAZELWOOD NORTH BATTERY PLANT GETS EPA APPROVAL Kevin O’Farrell: Great outcome, great for the Valley, local jobs and small businesses around the area.

Sue Seegers: Should have put it on Hazelwood site because not many people seem to care about the pollution that was coming from there. Some even want it back.

Adam Wright: Awesome, you can’t hen peck what industries want to invest in the Valley. As long as it meets the EPA’s strict guidelines then let the jobs start flowing. If you chase industry away then watch the Valley die a slow death.

Kathy Caldwell Fiona: We know too well how close it is to a school. I can’t believe it’s going ahead.

Neil Linda Perkins: The number of jobs this venture will create is not worth the risk to the health and welfare of the children who attend Hazelwood North Primary School or the residents who live there. Lead is toxic and extremely detrimental to children.

Danny Stevens: And who do we contact when people start getting sick?

This is a lead based industry and we all know what damage lead can do? As for bringing in work to the Valley I’d bet my my lefty that the contract will be awarded to a company from outside the Valley and all employment positions will be filled by the same scenario. But hey, I’ll eat my words if it does not go this way.

NUCLEAR IS A HOT TOPIC Catherine Chamings: We are on a fault line. Have they forgotten about the earthquake here in 2012.

Jade Farmer: Great to see people starting to look more into this industry.

Michael R Lenser: I wonder what that would do to property values in the area?

Shaun Somlai: Everyone wants no emissions but don’t want to consider the most reasonable way of achieving it.

Tony Cesarello: The sooner the better.

Heike Weber: It won’t happen because we the people will stop this nonsense.

Sean O’Sullivan: Waste that retains it’s dangerous radioactivity for millennia.

the Red Shield Appeal, to your local Salvo selling the War Cry magazine at the pub - I believe that there is something even more Aussie when it comes to The Salvos.

That is, the ability for us to come together and help out a friend, or even a complete stranger, when they are in their time of need.

That is why, on our 140-year anniversary of being in Australia, The Salvos want to honour the extraordinary Australian public who have donated and supported us over the years. To you all we say “Thank you!”

We also want to acknowledge our amazing volunteers who have given an incredible amount of their time over the years. A rough estimate over the years suggests that there have been well over a staggering 5 million volunteers who have supported The Salvos throughout our 140-year history.

And volunteering comes in many forms, too. It could anything from knocking on the doors of your neighbours to collect money for the Red Shield Appeal, to cooking meals at your local Salvos centre, to handing out presents to those in need at Christmas time.

Whatever your contribution has been, big or small, The Salvos could not function without you, and we could never have impacted the millions of people we have helped over the years without your generosity and time.

The Salvos have been here through it all in Australia.

Through two World Wars, where we provided food, drink and support to our frontline servicemen and women, to countless disasters providing emergency relief to those impacted, and throughout periods of economic turmoil like the Great Depression or the Global Financial Crisis.

And today, through COVID-19, we are here on the front-line, helping the most vulnerable in our society in their time of need. We have been there through it all. And through it all, our heartbeat has always been the Australian people.

So, again, thank you to all those who have supported The Salvos over the years.

Although your work may go unnoticed, we honour and appreciate you all.

Thank you for your support over the last 140 years, and here is to 140 more!

Major Bruce Harmer, The Salvation Army’s national public relations secretary

Quieter time for Strzelecki Bushwalking Club

AFTER a busy start to August, Strzelecki Bushwalking Club had a quiet month with COVID-19 putting a stop to outdoor club gatherings and activities.

However, Zoom meetings and Facebook have enabled members and friends to stay connected and share some lighthearted snippets from a variety of sources.

A recent communication on Facebook asked members about their favourite hike in Gippsland.

Hikes named were from the far east near Mallacoota to a number of favourites at Wilsons Promontory, the Bass Coast and Walhalla.

A Zoom club meeting for this month will be held on Wednesday, September 9 at 7.30pm.

It will include another of Beau Miles’ entertaining challenges.

The Strzelecki Bushwalking Club walks coordinator is working on a program with leaders for the second half of September, with the club hopeful they may be able to begin outdoor activities again very soon.

Further information is available on the website at sbwc.org.au, their Facebook page or by contacting Jo at publicity@sbwc.org.au

Active Australia Innovation Challenge THE Heart Foundation is calling for entries in the 2020 Active Australia Innovation Challenge, which will award grants valued at $10,000 each for innovative community-based projects designed to get Aussies moving.

Heart Foundation director of active living, Adjunct Professor Trevor Shilton, said physical inactivity is a key risk factor for heart disease, which continues to be the single leading cause of death in Australia.

In 2018, 48 Australians died every day from heart disease, or about one every half hour.

Heart disease accounted for more than one in ten (11.1 per cent) deaths that year.

Yet only a minority of Australians are active enough for good heart health.

Just 22 per cent of 5-17 year olds, 15 per cent of 18-64 year olds and 17 per cent of over-65s meet Australia’s physical activity and sedentary behavior guidelines.

Professor Shilton said statistics like these make it more important than ever for Australians to get off the couch.

“For a lot of Aussies, there’s a perception that ‘physical activity’ means joining a gym, jogging around their neighbourhood or playing organised sport,” he said.

“These are all legitimate forms of physical activity, but there are so many other fun and innovative ways for people of all fitness levels to be active in their communities.

“That’s why we run the Active Australia Innovation Challenge. It’s an avenue for tertiary institutions, schools, councils, community groups

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

Top read: The new book on the history of the Moe Dairy Co-Operative - Men Of Vision. and other organisations to tell us their great ideas for encouraging communities to get more active and live a healthier lifestyle.

“There has been renewed interest through COVID-19 in the importance of being active, and these grants offer an opportunity to continue this momentum in innovative ways.”

Past Active Australia Innovation Challenge winners have included surf lessons for children with autism; a “silent disco” for aged-care residents; and a program that enables people with a vision impairment to enjoy the social and physical benefits of cycling.

This is the third annual Active Australia Innovation Challenge.

“We want to build on the success of the first two challenges and look forward to hearing all the bright ideas from communities for new and interesting ways to boost physical activity in their local areas,” Professor Shilton said.

Heart Foundation Victoria

chief executive officer KellieAnn Jolly urged Victorians to submit their creative ideas to stay active and engaged in their local communities ahead of COVID-19 restrictions easing.

Entries are open for the next six weeks.

Shortlisted applicants will have the chance to refine and pitch their ideas, before a panel of experts decides on up to 10 winners.

They will each receive a grant of $10,000 to turn their project idea into a reality.

The Active Australia Innovation Challenge is part of the Healthy Heart Initiative, which is funded by the federal government Department of Health.

The challenge has run annually for four years between 2018 and 2021.

Visit the challenge website full terms and conditions.

Interested in nature?

IF the answer is yes, you might like to look at the website of the Latrobe Valley Field Naturalists’ Club at www.lvfieldnats.org.

The site explains about the club and the things that we usually do. The part on “Publications” gives access to their newsletter “Latrobe Valley Naturalist” that has articles and photos about their activities and aspects of the natural world.

You will also find the club’s contact email info@lvfield nats.org that you could use to ask questions and make comments about things that you are interested in.

The ‘team’ can handle questions about local birds, plants, insects, reptiles and all sorts of other things that you find in the natural environment.

Springtime Ball cancelled THE Latrobe Valley Dance Promotions Springtime Ball scheduled on Friday, September 11, 2020 has been cancelled due to the current health crisis.

New book showcases co-op’s beginnings Closer look: Philip Rayment took this fabulous picture of a Common Heath in Tyers State Park.

Page 20 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Thursday, 3 September, 2020

IN March 1955, the Moe Dairy Co-operative celebrated its 50th anniversary.

From its beginnings in 1905

it had successfully developed into a major industry in Moe. The local paper described the original founders of the co-operative as ‘Men of vision’. The story of the Co-operative has now been published in a new book by the Moe & District Historical Society.

It is one outcome of the successful ‘Made in Moe’ exhibition held in the Moe Library in 2018 which encouraged members to seek out further information on local industry.

The Dairy Co-operative was located at the corner of George Street and Saviges Road and operated from 1905 to 1986 and at its peak had just under 100 employees.

The only remaining building from those days is the hardware store which was originally the commercial outlet for the co-operative.

Copies of the book, titled Men of Vision may be purchased from the Variety bookshop in Albert St or by emailing moehist@aussiebb. com.au

Competition closing date extended THE ‘Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve’ committee of management has extended the closing date of its photography and artwork competition for youth to Monday, October 19.

Stage 3 restrictions have made it difficult for students to submit artwork entries via their schools and for a committee member to visit the Moe/Newborough schools to collect their work.

Moving the competition closing date should allow students time, once restrictions ease, to submit their artwork.

The competition is open to primary and secondary school students who may enter either a photograph of nature taken within the reserve or an artwork inspired by nature within the reserve.

Entries should be sent to ehhbr.competition@gmail. com.

Artwork may be submitted at the student’s school for youth who attend school in Moe or Newborough.

Youth who attend school in other towns can contact the committee via email and organise to deliver their artwork directly to us. All artwork will be returned after judging.

A selection of entries will be chosen for inclusion in a 2021 (not for profit) calendar featuring the Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve and highlighting its unique conservation value.

All going well the calendar will be professionally printed in early November and a Family Fun Day, including a calendar launch and prize presentations, will take place in mid-November.

The Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve is a fabulous place for families to visit, take a walk and connect with nature.

Anniversary celebrations postponed THE Morwell Catholic Parish Pastoral Committee regrets that due to the current health crisis, they have unfortunately had to postpone the celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of the Sacred Heart Church.

In view of this, they will be celebrating together with St Vincent’s Church in 2021 when they celebrate their 50th anniversary.

The date still to be set.

School holiday program available LATROBE City’s Spring School Holiday Program is available for primary school aged children and located at Moe P.L.A.C.E. The program runs during the school holidays from 8am to 5.30pm and provides planned activities based on the children’s interests and learning opportunities.

A great leveller: Journalist and cricket tragic Liam Durkin takes a deeper look at the sport’s intricacies as a new season looms just over the horizon.

The customs of club cricket

CRICKET

By LIAM DURKIN

WITH the cricket season approaching, players from across the Latrobe Valley will no doubt be looking forward to whiting up once again.

To the uninhibited, cricket can appear to be a confusing game played out by eccentrics in long trousers who stand out in the sun for six hours, but to millions of devotees worldwide, it is the ultimate battle of wits, cunning and attrition.

The game itself throws up a host of peculiarities - it takes an inordinate long time to play, often with no guarantee that there will actually be a winner.

You can play the same game in scorching heat one day and then driving rain the next.

A bowler can bowl their best spell and take 0-20, and then bowl an average spell and finish with three wickets.

A batsman can be caught off a blinder for nought and then spend the rest of the day watching as someone else gets dropped four times on their way to 80.

These things and a host of others contribute to the unique appeal of club cricket, so much so that one could argue park cricketers get more value from the game than say, Virat Kohli does.

Kohli will never derive as much satisfaction from executing a perfect cover drive as a park cricketer does - because Kohli does it continuously day after day, whereas for the park cricketer, there remains the thrill element of having waited all week for the chance to get out in the middle.

At club level, there are also many idiosyncrasies that occupy the make-up of the game.

Here are a few things you are likely to experience either playing or watching a game of park cricket this season:

Afternoon tea

CLUB reputations can be made or destroyed on the quality of the afternoon tea.

As the mid-afternoon tea interval approaches and cricketers become peckish, there can be nothing more demoralising than walking into the

clubrooms and seeing a belowaverage spread.

The cricket afternoon tea is the ideal sporting diet - ideal for watching sport on television that is, and is usually made up of party pies, sausage rolls, sandwiches, fruit, cake and slice.

Some clubs are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who take great pride in showcasing their catering skills during afternoon tea, while in the majority of cases, each player from the home team is assigned a food product each.

Many young players have kept their spot in a first grade team because their mothers provide scrumptious afternoon teas.

In being good hosts, it is seen as polite to allow the visiting team to have the first helping to the afternoon tea banquet.

Drinks break

UNLIKE football where players take in water or sports drinks at quarter time breaks, cricketers consume a much more hydrating beverage - cordial.

As well as having enough time to drink two cups of cordial, the drinks break must also be long enough for players to change from a baggy to wide-brim hat, or to puff down at least one cigarette.

The drinks break is usually held every 20 overs and is seen as a mystical destination that the batting team must calmly get to with wickets in hand.

On the flipside, the bowling team will look to rush as many overs as it can before drinks in the hope of stealing a wicket on the eve of a break.

Spin is usually activated the over before drinks, and the batting team generally eliminates any risk in facing the final six balls.

Umpiring yourself

ONE of the greatest challenges in park cricket is when players from the batting team have to stand in the central umpiring position and at square leg to officiate the game.

That being said, the majority of players take a common sense approach when there is no official umpire, and do not go down the path of excessive appealing or

claiming 50-50 catches have carried.

The tendency when umpiring yourself is to show a fair amount of leniency to your own team, however, the danger is that this will lead to blatant cheating.

Generally if there is no official umpire players are encouraged to walk.

This helps to defuse any potential issues with the opposition and does not put people standing in as the umpire under pressure to give their own teammate out.

Additionally, on the leg before wicket law, club umpires will more than likely only give it out if it is absolutely plumb.

A major problem that can arise from umpiring yourself is that the strength of the batting order is compromised if there is young players in the team, as it is generally seen as appropriate to only have adults out in the middle officiating.

When there is only one official umpire, they will take on central duty at both ends, while the batting team will provide someone at square leg.

The person at square leg will often hold a water bottle to offer to the batsman, and the fielding team if they ask nicely, and will usually stand at the post for 10 overs before changing.

Skippers salute

AS a show of good will, upon arrival at the wicket the captain of the batting team receives a round of applause from the fielding team.

The captain of the fielding team will generally say “opposition captain boys” as the batsman prepares to face their first ball.

The skippers salute is seen more-so in lower grades and is generally implemented on a ‘if they did it for us’ basis.

Furthermore, if a batsman reaches a century, it is courteous for the fielding team to applaud the innings and for each member of the fielding team to shake the batsman’s hand.

In lower grade cricket there are also a number of unwritten rules that fall under the sportsmanship banner.

In most circumstances, anyone that is listed to bat one to seven

is considered capable of holding their own, however if it is clear a young batsman down the order is not going to score, then the bowling team will refrain from sending down any bouncers or having their quickest bowlers operating.

A similar concept applies to batting, and fully fledged adults should not shamelessly whack kids around the ground, but rather turn the strike over.

In first grade cricket and senior finals however this custom goes out the window and anyone that is playing is fair game.

will then look for any boredom cures to pass the time as the message comes back from the umpires to “have another look at 3pm”, even though the square is underwater.

Boredom cures can involve playing cards, watching the races or playing miniature versions of cricket in the change rooms.

Rain has both saved and robbed many cricket teams over the years, and has also backfired spectacularly for others who have played the rain card on a Friday night, only to wake up Saturday morning to see clear blue skies.

Scoring

Fines

UNLESS a club has a designated scorer, generally batsmen listed to come in at numbers 10 and 11 are ‘on the book’.

The scorers must keep an up to date and legible record of the game as things progress, and also be able to juggle manually entering scores and operating the scoreboard.

Given there is something aesthetically pleasing about a well-kept scorebook, those granted this task have a responsibility to make sure it is completed in a neat manner.

The fielding team will often be called upon to assist the scorers, either by signaling if a boundary was four or six, or by responding to the call of “bowlers name?” from the sidelines.

In another quirk, a cricket game will often be played long after it is clear one team has already won just to “make sure the books add up”.

Fair be warned to the scorers who present a botched scorebook when the captain and umpires get together at the end of the game and discover the bowling adds up to 170 and the batting to 190.

Rain delays

IF rain drops, cricket stops - most of the time.

Once the covers are called for the batting and fielding teams frantically drag the tarps from the sidelines onto the square and then peg them down using either the one hammer available or the heel of their shoes.

Seeking shelter inside, players

AFTER the days play, all teams at the club will get together and go through their respective scorebooks to relive what has happened that afternoon.

The captain or a player from each team will present a verbal match report and point out any highlights, lowlights or humorous instances.

After the match report the person at the club who is the designated fines master will go through and issue lighthearted fines for various indiscretions.

Common fines include: if a fielder drops a catch, a batsman makes a duck or a bowler is hit for six.

In keeping with the jovial nature of fines, even players who have performed on the day are not exempt.

A player who has scored a century may still be fined for ‘not giving anyone else a go’.

On a particularly bad day the whole team could also be fined, for things such as losing outright or getting bowled out in a session.

The money accumulated from fines during the season usually goes toward the end of season night or trip away.

President’s shout

IF every team at the club wins on a Saturday, the club president will open the bar for a period of time or shout every player a drink.

To ensure the club doesn’t hand out too many freebies, the club must field a minimum of three senior teams for the president’s shout rule to exist.

By DAVID BRAITHWAITE

ZIPPING Hamish won at The Meadows in Melbourne on August 27 for Rosedale greyhound trainer Carolyn Jones.

In the 525 metre mixed grade four and five, the $1.80 favourite started strongly to open up a sixlength lead on the back straight, held on to defeat He Shall Blitz by a length, stopping the clock at 29.8s.

Jones’ Zipping Samara finished second in a heat of the 515m grade five series.

Also finishing second in a heat was another Rosedale-trained dog, Kingfisher Rose, for Jeff Chignell.

AT Warragul on Thursday night, Crouching Tiger, trained

by Corey Fulford at Maffra, won a 400m grade seven.

The dog notched back-to-back wins at the track in 23.46s, just ahead of Hazelwood North chaser Hayley Hook.

Madalia Phoebe finished third for Heyfield trainer Susan Northway.

Northway’s Slick Paws was a start to finish winner in 460m grade five in 26.12s, more than six seconds ahead of Shaded Disguise.

Flywheel Frankey came third in a 460m grade seven for Sam Bye at Gormandale.

Looks Like Turbo has now won four of her 12 career starts.

Stirling Lights, prepared at Tanjil South by Kate Gorman, lived up to his billing as one of the good things on the program.

The son of Aston Bolero was sent out a $1.50 shot by punters and landed the 13th win of his 33-start career in emphatic fashion from box eight, taking out the 400m grade five in a sharp 22.51 seconds.
