DEMAND SPIKES THE Gippsland Region Public Health Unit is anticipating more rapid antigen tests kits will become available in the Latrobe Valley amid local supply shortages and empty shelves. A GRPHU spokeswoman discouraged locals from panic buying, while acknowledging the situation had been “challenging”. She said locals should only purchase a

RAT if they had any COVID symptoms or were a household close contact. “We really need people to remain calm. For the most part, COVID can be safely managed at home. If you have symptoms but can’t access a RAT, assume you have the virus,” the spokeswoman said. “Isolate, Rest and Recover. If your symptoms worsen, call your GP or Nurse on Call and if they become severe, dial 000.” It comes as retailers in the Valley had sold out of kits as soon as they hit

the shelves with locals scrambling to get their hands on one with new state government testing requirements. The Express contacted 15 chemists in the Valley last week, none of which had any stock on the shelves. While no pharmacy would specifically comment on the record, many stated they had been fielding “100s of calls” each day from people attempting to source a test kit. Other retailers told The Express they could not confirm when more deliveries

would be made, with one describing the situation as “frustrating”. Last week, the state government introduced RAT changes to ease the pressure off the community and PCR testing teams. But Member for Morwell Russell Northe said the state government should provide official and timely information on how and where locals could access test kits. Continued on page 5

Animal cruelty not on

BRINGING an animal into the family should be a joyous and loving event, but many animals end up living a nightmare, or even being killed, with cruelty cases rising to appalling levels. Some of the worst cases seen by the RSPCA involved dogs being starved or neglected despite serious injuries, a cat who was drowned in a rubbish bin, and a horse with a large, gaping wound on his chest left untreated. The rate of animal cruelty in Victoria is shocking, with the RSPCA reporting 10,745 cruelty complaints investigated in the year 2020-21, resulting in 324 charges being laid. Unfortunately, a lot more cases probably went unreported. Cruelty to animals in Victoria carries a penalty of up to $74,600 or two years’ imprisonment. These penalties need to be applied rigorously by the criminal justice system; cruelty to animals must be taken seriously for everyone’s sake. If you suspect someone of abusing an animal, report it to authorities right away, for the safety of the entire community. Desmond Bellamy, PETA Australia special projects coordinator

Garden a sanctuary

CONTACTS

MORWELL Rose Garden is vibrantly animated by roses, especially the other-worldly Pierre de Ronsard climbing roses that adorn the central gazebo, and that has been the romantic setting for many a fine wedding over the past 29 years. Indeed, it is very fitting that these roses I just mentioned are named after a famous 16th-century French poet, Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585), who wrote almost exclusively about love. So to honour all the lovers who, over the past 29 years, have tied-the-knot at Morwell Rose Garden, I dedicate the following poem: When I look at the Morwell Rose Garden gazebo, I always / Picture a young couple exchanging wedding vows / Amidst its romantic setting: “For richer for poorer, / In sickness and in health, to have and to hold, for all the days / That life allows, / Til death do us part.” / And I picture you and me ever together / Like climbing roses / Entwining around the walls of my heart,/ Til the story of my life closes. Joseph Lis, Morwell

THIS Christmas-New Year, Traralgon advertised itself as a place not to visit during the holidays. I acknowledge that Traralgon is not a tourist town, but it is a city of 28,000 people and I think we can expect better than for almost every cafe, bar or restaurant to be closed. Many of the 28,000 have visitors from Melbourne, interstate and overseas staying over for the holidays. I could not get a pizza anywhere on Monday, December 27. Only two were open and one ran out of pizza bases at 7pm. Only two bars were open for a drink. Almost impossible to get a coffee.

I could only find one Asian take-away open on Tuesday, December 28. The Grand Junction was the only bar open; Hotel Traralgon, Franks, Star Bar etc etc all closed. The place looks like a ghost town. Thousands pass through this town on the way to and from East Gippsland, they might want something other than KFC or McDonald’s. It’s time Traralgon woke up to the opportunities that are available by being open for business. Tony Willman, Traralgon

Pride at milestone moment

IT was with much pride that our Mirboo North, Protect our Forests Committee (PoF) gathered at Mirboo North Hotel on Sunday, December 19, 2021 to celebrate our long, challenging, but successful campaign to protect much of the last remnants of the local, over exploited South Gippsland historic “Great Forests”. After a unanimous vote, at a huge public meeting in 2017, various sub communities were formed of citizen activists, biologists, field naturalists and

economic researchers, determined to research & overturn a VicForests determination to log much of our local, rich biodiversity forests - considered by our local community as their most precious community environmental asset. Our four-year campaign of citizen science and research, to stop the planned logging, has been successful. However, negotiations must continue with government, to have long term, conservation protection and sound management guidelines. At this time of worldwide, environmental and economic crisis, citizen activism, science and research is absolutely essential to convince all levels of government and business, that it is time to reassess and change our environmental and economic priorities to a more sustainable and positive future. Act positively and celebrate our New Year 2022, with a well-considered, better environmental commitment and lifestyle. Happy New Year. Dick Lester, Protect our Forests member Leongatha

Online comments SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING ISSUED FOR LATROBE VALLEY Tiffany Brown: All Dan’s fault.

Damien Rose: Get your vaccine it’s the only way to get back to normal, now it’s get your booster to get back to normal now density restrictions again then the next variant oh you need another booster. Wake up people.

LRH DELAYS NON-ESSENTIAL SURGERIES

Geoff Heyblom: So much for living with it.

Christine Lake: Not again.

David Moyes: I’ve seen a lot of empty ambulances driving around Morwell today. Just one driving, no one else in them. Tailed one for an hour until I realised he was doing the same circuit, interesting. Also was in hospital two days ago and never seen it so empty in ER Anthony Bennett: Considering my partner went in via ambulance due to not being able to breathe properly and it took them seven hours to get a bed for her, yeah I think they are overstretched. Scott Humphrey: We must remember it’s not the hospital decisions, it’s the government’s. Amanda Johnstone: Good way to have more pressure on hospital when people start turning up with issues because their health has been ignored.

Judy Cowton: Well this is a change. Emja Lee: Question? Why are we still QR coding when there’s no contact tracing being done. Stephen Bound: How good is it being vaccinated?

Peter Wilson: What! Marg Ross: No. Irene Cole: No.

Ted Wiseman: Sadly the “non essential” surgeries are taking their toll on many people who with surgery could be back in the workforce, but are now going backwards to the extent that some of them will no longer be capable of going back to their former employment because of further disability due to deterioration during their long waits.

Andrea Shears Zekic: Not in Newborough.

$15 COVID impact delays PARMA non-essential surgery NIGHT every Thursday Increased load: Latrobe Regional Hospital has delayed all non-essential surgery to help ease the burden on resources due to an increasing number of COVID patients. file photograph

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE Regional Hospital has delayed all non-essential surgery to help ease the burden on resources due to an increasing number of COVID patients. LRH chief operating officer Simone Redpath said the hospital would only be undertaking category one surgeries until the COVID surge had decreased. Ms Redpath said the hospital would carry out a surgery “blitz” to catch up with the list of nonessential surgeries when the surge had eased. “Now we are pooling our resources back into the hospital to manage our workload. We don’t take this lightly, we need to do what the health service can manage,” Ms Redpath said. “This is for a short time. We need to balance out needs and do the best we can.” Ms Redpath said private hospitals such as Maryvale and St John of God in Berwick had been stepping up to take on some surgeries.

It comes as there were 11 patients in the LRH medical COVID ward with one in ICU and five in the hospital-in-the-home program. Ms Redpath said a “significant” number of hospital staff had contracted COVID from the community, which was causing a strain on resources and impacting shifts. She said some theatre staff had been moved into critical areas such as ICU or the emergency department, and out patient services were closed so staff could be used to help fill basic care needs. Federation University final year nursing students were also jumping on board to reduce workloads and help with tasks such as taking blood pressure. Ms Redpath urged people to reconsider presenting to ED unless it was an emergency. “Wait times will be significant. It’s about people using common sense, I can’t stress enough, don’t come to ED unless you are really sick,” she said. “If you are symptomatic, stay home and isolate until you recover. If you are positive, there is hospital-in-the-home and other ways to get help.”

Fare increase on V/Line services GIPPSLAND line passengers will pay more to take the train or bus after a rise in public transport fees. From January 1, 2022 tickets increased on regional public transport by 1.1 per cent on average, adding 80 cents to a Gippsland daily train fare. The cost of a seven-day pass on Gippsland V/Line will jump $2.00, adding an extra $104 to yearly travel. The increase comes as the fare freeze that was implemented through the pandemic ends. Data from the Department of Transport shows passenger trips have plummeted through lockdowns, with just 600,000 trips per day across the state – down from 1.66 million per day before

the pandemic began. For Traralgon V/Line services, patronage has dropped from 4959 trips a day in 2018-19 to 2466 in 2020-21. Shadow Minister for Public Transport Steph Ryan said that the government should be striving to grow the use of public transport. “We should be encouraging locals to find more reasons to choose public transport to travel, not less,” she said. “Higher fares put more pressure on people still struggling to make ends meet, on sick regional Victorians travelling to Melbourne for medical appointments and is less incentive for office workers to get back to the CBD,” she said.

An unofficial website Find a RAT was created to help “find those sneaky RATs” by postcode. However, only one outlet was listed for the Valley. “People are being told to get tested, but they can’t get a test. The whole system is being overburdened. It’s been a calamity in many respects and people are fed up or distressed,” Mr Northe said. “I also think there is a lot of confusion when people are supposed to get tested as the rules are changing every day.” Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing assured that more testing would become available throughout January, but also called on the federal government to do its part. “We are working to provide free tests throughout Victoria due to the lack of tests from the Commonwealth. We need the Commonwealth to step up,” Ms Shing said.

Centre a forest of protection

THE Traralgon Racecourse is one of eight kidfriendly flagship state-run COVID vaccination centres to help children between five and 11 to get their jabs. These sites are being transformed into a friendly “forest of protection” for kids, featuring Australian animals, entertainers, activities and showbags. It comes as vaccines for kids aged between five and 11 can now be booked online or through the coronavirus hotline. Children could receive the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine from Monday. Online bookings require a unique email address, which can be the child’s address or another one belonging to a parent or guardian. Acting Premier Jacinta Allan said getting

children vaccinated would be providing them with “direct protection against COVID-19 and reducing the risk of transmission to loved ones and in schools”. “We want to create a vaccination experience that is positive for the whole family,” Ms Allan said. “The forest themed hubs have been designed to provide a welcoming and accessible experience for children of all backgrounds and abilities.” The showbag of goodies includes a colouring-in book by First Nations artist Emma Bamblett, coloured pencils, stickers and fidget spinners. The centres have eucalyptus vaccination trees where kids can place a leaf with their name on it to help the tree grow, and parents can also add a leaf after receiving their third dose.

The state-run sites have been designed to cater for children who need additional support such as a visual distraction, virtual reality headsets and the Buzzy Bees ice pack. The child-friendly vaccination hubs provide low-sensory booths to cater for specific needs. Parents and guardians can also check for paediatric vaccination appointments at their local GPs and pharmacies. An immunisation plan has been developed by the Department of Health and The Royal Children’s Hospital to help parents and carers decide where and how to book based on their child’s needs.

New app allows local doctors to remotely monitor patients “Care coordinators monitor all patients via the app system and if a participant reports outside their threshold, it triggers an alert on the system.” Ms Proposch said the app helped to ease the burden on the acute care system with general practices monitoring these patients, as cases rise in Gippsland. “As the virus is highly contagious, the number of cases in Gippsland is expected to rise and place pressure on the acute system to manage positive cases,” Ms Proposch said. “This initiative will bring comfort to those people who we know may have been anxious that our hospitals would be under pressure from COVID-19 positive patients. “It will also bring comfort from the low-risk patients who require monitoring but don’t need to be in hospital.”

GIPPSLAND doctors are using a new app to remotely monitor local COVID-19 positive patients in their own home under a Gippsland Primary Health Network initiative. Seventeen local GP clinics are using a digital platform called Lifeguard to monitor people identified as low-risk COVID-19 positive. Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said a number of regional health organisations and general practices were already using Lifeguard to care for patients with chronic illness. “Lifeguard enables health professionals to easily monitor the health status of multiple patients at once, including the ability to detect patient deterioration early,” Ms Proposch said. “People in the program enter data into the remote monitoring app daily.

Police Beat with Alyssa Fritzlaff

Two men arrested after Moe Subway robbery TWO men were arrested after allegedly robbing Moe’s Subway restaurant in the early morning hours of Wednesday, January 5. Police were called to the fast-food restaurant on Moore St, after an alarm was triggered at 1.40am. Cash was allegedly taken from a safe inside the restaurant, before those involved left the scene in a waiting vehicle. Half an hour after police attended the scene, Warragul police intercepted a 2016 Ford sedan travelling on the Princes Highway in Drouin. The driver, a 39-year-old Reservoir man and passenger, a 31-year-old Drouin man, were arrested after police located a sledgehammer, allegedly stolen paperwork, and cash in the vehicle. The two men were taken to Warragul police station, where they assisted police with enquiries.

Your chance to be a King or Queen: Mirabilia Castle, in Willung South, has been put back on the market. Reg Fazzani (pictured) built the castle with his two hands. file photograph

Castle goes on the market By LIAM DURKIN

MIRABILIA Castle in Willung South is on the market. The castle is situated off the Hyland Highway just a short drive from Gormandale, and sits on five-and-a-half acres overlooking the bushland below. The castle boasts everything seen in a movie, from arch window sills to parapet towers, as well as a great hall.

Builder and occupant Reg Fazzani has again listed the property, after previous attempts to sell in 2016 and 2018 saw it linger on the market for a total of 579 days. The property has been listed with Ray White Rural, which reported inquiries from across the state. It is anticipated buyers will need to fork out at least $1.5 million for the castle. A feature story in The Express last October on Mr Fazzani revealed the 86-year-old pensioner didn’t

see himself living out his final days at Mirabilia, as he looked to downsize. Mr Fazzani has lived quite an extraordinary life, building not one but three castles without any formal training in building or bricklaying. He has described castle building as “just like building a giant Lego set”. Mirabilia Castle is located at 2638 Hyland Highway.

Hard rubbish demand doubles LATROBE City Council has confirmed it will finish its hard rubbish collection this month. A Latrobe City Council spokesperson said hard waste collections are expected to be completed by mid-January. “Council received double the number of hard waste bookings compared to the previous year, which resulted in some delays,” the spokesperson said. “In some cases, general waste was collected first and recyclable items and steel were collected at a later time.

Morwell man arrested in Drouin A 27-year-old Morwell man was arrested just before midnight on Wednesday, January 5 after allegedly ramming a police vehicle. Police officers were patrolling the area when they observed an allegedly stolen gold Mazda sedan parked in a driveway on Kraft Crescent, Drouin. They stopped in front of the vehicle, and the driver allegedly accelerated into the police vehicle, before fleeing the scene on foot through a neighbouring property. Police cordoned off the area, and located the man hiding on the roof of a residential property. The police vehicle sustained moderate damage, and no officers were injured. It was later established that the Mazda sedan was allegedly stolen from a Morwell address between 12pm on Tuesday, January 4 and 12am on Wednesday, January 5.

“We would like to thank the community for their patience as collections are completed and apologise for the delays.” Council confirmed there were plans to resolve last year’s issues to meet demand, when the next stage of hard rubbish collection takes place later this year. “We are working to resolve these issues to ensure that our service can manage high levels of demand in the future,” the spokesperson said.

Next generation of stars on show By LIAM DURKIN

THE AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International commences today. More than 160 of the world’s best junior tennis players will take part in the week-long tournament, in what will act as a lead-in to the Australian Open Juniors. For those unaware, the Traralgon Junior International is a world recognised event, and few if any regional towns across the country could lay claim to hosting a tennis event that rivals its standing. Some big names in the tennis world first came to prominence by winning the tournament, none more so than 20-time grand slam champion Roger Federer, who won as a shy-eyed 17-year-old in 1998. While the region is sure to dine out on that story for generations to come, the Traralgon Junior International has also seen a number of players go on to bigger and better things in recent years. Canadian Leylah Fernandez was a finalist at Traralgon in 2019, and two years later was a finalist at the US Open. German Alexander Zverev won the event in 2014 and has since gone on to play in the final of the US Open (in 2020), and the semis of the Australian and French Opens (2020 and 2021 respectively). Traralgon Tennis Association manager Susie Grumley said the event was a huge feather in the cap for the Latrobe Valley. “Players here this week are the future champions, future grand slam champions, the players that you’ll be watching on the tele and winning grand slams as time goes on,” she said. “The Australian Open Juniors is the first grand slam of the year and first grand slam for the juniors, and this being a lead-in event you will get the best juniors in the world come here to play to get valuable match practise before they go into the Australian Open.” There has been virtually no time to rest for the Traralgon Tennis Association, which only finished hosting duties for the ATP Challenger and ITF Women’s World Tour on Sunday. Volunteers have spent the last few days putting the finishing touches on the Traralgon Tennis Complex in readiness for the Junior International. “We’ve had a quick change of some signage and doing a few different things that need to be done to prepare for the junior event … we are all there ready

to go. It is just great to have the event back again, it wasn’t held last year due to COVID,” Grumley told The Express. “To get everyone back again and get the atmosphere around the club has been fantastic, there is a real positive vibe around and the community are really getting behind our events and coming down to watch, so you really enjoy volunteering and being part of it … it is wonderful. “We couldn’t run these events without our volunteers, they’re definitely the backbone of the club and we couldn’t continue to do this without the enormous help we get from our volunteers - catering coordinators, bus driver volunteers, people who will

start. They get a perpetual trophy for winning the championships and we just decided we would add something in ourselves as well. “Right from the very first tournament we decided that an Akubra hat was a really good Australian memento and something different, so they have just always been given to the winners. “They love them, they put them on straight away, it is just a nice little touch that we do.” Who knows, perhaps even Roger Federer still has his Akubra from Traralgon. The AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International and Australian Open Junior Qualifying rounds will be played until Thursday, January 20.

The hats have become a trademark of the event, and like most traditions, have just stuck since first being introduced. “We’ve always given the Akubra hats,” Grumley explained. “It was something that was done right at the

Key on-court contenders in 2022 BOYS

GIRLS

The Brazilian-born American comes into this event as the top ranked player. In 2021, he reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon juniors, the highlight of a year where he bowed out after the third round of the French Open and second round of the US Open. He trains under the guidance of renowned coach Brian Baker and gained great experience from playing alongside Elvina Kalieva in the mixed doubles at the senior US Open in 2021. The big challenge for Kuzuhara is to land that elusive tournament win after some near misses towards the back end of 2021.

Going by the rankings, Shnaider is the top player who will be on the courts of Traralgon during the AGL Loy Yang International. Her resume backs that up. The Russian was a doubles champion in the Wimbledon juniors in 2021 alongside partner Kristina Dmitruk. That followed up an excellent showing when she reached the semi-finals of the French Open juniors earlier in the year. Shnaider finished 2021 with a three-set loss to Petra Marcinko in the final at Plantation and will be keen to go one better in the Latrobe Valley.

Name: Bruno Kuzuhara Age: 17 Nationality: American ITF junior ranking: 9

tournament success of 2021, a result which saw him power up to a career-best ranking. Mensik is a dogged competitor with weapons on both sides of his body.

Poljicak is coming off a 2021 campaign where he like Kuzuhara reached the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon juniors. He collected the biggest win of his young career to date in the Merida in Mexico, fighting back from a set down to defeat Paraguay’s Adolfo Daniel Vallejo. He made his ATP main draw debut at the Croatian Open after receiving a wildcard into the doubles main draw. He and partner Admir Kalender caused something of a surprise in that event when they downed second seeds Pablo Cuevas and Fabrice Martin.

Name: Jakub Mensik Age: 16 Nationality: Czech ITF junior ranking: 14

Name: Adolfo Daniel Vallejo Age: 17 Nationality: Paraguayian ITF junior ranking: 17

Vallejo is the fourth player inside the top 20 ranked players to make the trek to Traralgon for this event. He brings great experience, having represented his country at Davis Cup level, where he has a win-loss record of 2-1. Vallejo’s formlines tie through the top two ranked players in this event. He defeated Bruno Kuzuhara in the event at Plantation (US) in December, but lost to Poljicak in Merida two weeks earlier.

Zaytseva features in the two-pronged Russian bid likely to take out this title. 2021 proved a great year for the emerging talent, winning titles in Pansevo (Serbia) and Hannover (Germany). Dynamite on clay courts, Zaytseva’s form has not quite been as strong on the hard courts, but expect her to stay the course deep into this tournament.

Name: Clervie Ngounoue Age: 15 Nationality: American ITF junior ranking: 20

This young lady is a player going places. Despite her tender age, in relation to her fellow juniors, Ngounoue has the game to match it with the world’s best. Ngounoue, who hails from Washington D.C, reached the final of the Cape Town event in October 2021 and the semi-finals of Milan in July. The right-hander’s preferred surface is clay, but as she showed in South Africa, her game stands up well to the rigours of the hard court.

AUSSIE CHALLENGERS

MAIN DRAW: Charlotte Kempenears-Pocz (133) QUALIFIERS: Taylah Preston (200), Catherine Aulia (208), Talia Gibson (232), Roisin Gilheany (322), Elena Micic (335), Lily Taylor (338), Anja Nayar (399), Zara Larke (402), Lily Fairclough (457), Stefani Webb (505), Tianyu Dong (531), Yilin Yan (580), Mia Tsoukalas (648), Darina Kamenoff (687), Sarah Rokusek (766), Jelena Cvijanovic (916), Madison Schwarz (1250), Piper Freeman (1405).

The Argentinian ace looks the biggest threat to Russian dominance of the women’s event. Sierra is coming off a solid finish to 2021 where she reached the semi-finals at Bradenton (United States) and the US Open juniors, where she lost to Robin Montgomery in three sets. The right-hander boasts a solid all-round clay game and is equally adept on all surfaces.

Looking back to when Kyrgios saluted By GREGOR MACTAGGART

THE honour roll of the AGL Loy Yang Traralgon International reads like a who’s who of tennis. Much has been made through the years of Roger Federer’s 1998 triumph before he went onto greatness. Marion Bartoli, who won the 2013 Wimbledon Singles title, triumphed in Traralgon 12 years earlier. Other luminaries such as Richard Gasquet, Alexander Zverev, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Jelena Dokic have also enjoyed success on the courts of the Latrobe Valley. Another name on that list is Nick Kyrgios. This year, he will be among the local contenders looking to win the Australian Open. But nine years ago, his sights were set on success in Traralgon. We dug out the archives to share with you Express reporter Sam Darroch’s story. Canberra’s Nick Kyrgios went one better than esteemed Australian predecessors Ben Mitchell and Luke Saville by claiming the Akubra at the AGL Loy Yang Traralgon ITF Junior International on Thursday. The second seed, a 17-year-old power player, overcame South African sixth seed Wayne Montgomery, who Kyrgios won last year’s doubles title with, in straight sets 6-2 6-1 to become just the fourth Australian to win the event. It was the new world number one ranked junior’s second grade one ITF title to date, but more significantly he will sit alongside Roger Federer as champions in Traralgon, which came as a thrill for the new title holder. “Before the semi-final I was looking at the board and saw him there and I got some tingles down my spine, I really wanted my name up there (in singles),” he told The Express. “There was a lot of expectation this tournament coming out as the number two seed and (with) Luke Saville last year making the final, I thought I sort of had a bit of a burden to carry, and I thought I played really well.” A big first serve, particularly under pressure, and heavy ground strokes were a key for Kyrgios, as he blew his former doubles partner off the court with his weight of shot. The long-levered Australian set the tone for the match at 1-1 in the first set when he served three consecutive aces to go from 30-40 down on serve to claim the game. Kyrgios then broke Montgomery in the following game to establish a 3-1 lead, and continually found clutch first serves to quash the South African’s attempts to hit back. After running away with the first set, Kyrgios again broke

early in the second after a long deuce game to go 3-1 up, before breaking a second time to record an emphatic drubbing. “I’ve got a bit of size on Wayne and I knew I couldn’t let him run me around and dictate points,” Kyrgios said.

“I knew I had to come out and serve well (and) my serve sort of got me out of trouble here this week. “I knew I had to play aggressive whenever I could and obviously that’s my strength, shrinking the court and not giving my opponent much time.”

Kazahkstan’s Anna Danilina secured the girls’ title in Traralgon by defeating second seed Antonia Lottner of Germany in the final 6-4 6-2. Danilina may not have gone onto hit the heights like Kyrgios, but continues to be a player on the doubles circuit, winning the Poland Open in 2021.

Remember to slip, slop, slap THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is reminding people to be sun smart this year. Skin cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia, RDAA president Dr Megan Belot said. “Melanoma rates are higher in regional, rural and remote areas than in the cities,” she said. “Rural doctors have excellent skin cancer diagnosis and management skills. “We have so many patients who have spent a lot of time in the sun, and who often haven’t taken enough precautions to protect themselves.” This summer, Dr Belot is calling for people, especially those in rural areas, to take charge of their health and protect themselves from the sun. “While as a doctor it can be very satisfying to identify a melanoma early and cut that sucker out, for patients this is significantly less appealing…so it is best to protect your skin in the first place,” she said. “Nowadays the words to remember are slip, slop, slap, seek, slide – seeking shade and sliding on sunnies have been added as they are essential in the Australian climate.” Dr Belot recommends using sunscreen that is at least 30SPF ever day, as well as a shirt and a hat. Skin checks are also important to remember, she said. “It is also important to get regular skin checks, so make an appointment to see your local rural doctor with skin cancer skills – they can give you a thorough check-over and identify as early as possible any potential skin cancers.”

Draft guidelines of GHG emissions released by EPA ENVIRONMENT Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) has released draft guidance for managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for public consultation. When finalised, the document will be a ‘How To’ for Victorian businesses, giving practical advice, examples and case studies so they can understand their greenhouse gas emissions and take reasonable actions to meet their responsibilities. While the state government works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the state level, this document is designed to equip individual businesses to make a measurable difference at the factory, shop or office. The Draft guideline for managing greenhouse gas emissions follows the commencement of Victoria’s Environment Protection Act 2017 on July 1, 2021. Central to this Act is a general environmental duty (GED) that requires all Victorians to proactively manage risks to human health and the environment. “Greenhouse gas emissions are produced by all businesses and pose risks to our environment and human health because they contribute to climate change risks,’ EPA chief executive officer Lee Miezis said. “Under Victoria’s new environment protection laws, GHG emissions are defined as waste, and businesses with direct or indirect GHG emissions need to understand and manage their emissions to minimise risks. “EPA’s final guidance will aim to help businesses assess their GHG emissions and implement controls to minimise risks as far as reasonably practicable.” Public consultation on EPA’s draft GHG guidance is open until 5pm Tuesday, February 8, 2022. Submissions can be lodged electronically via the Engage Victoria website. Final guidance is expected to be published in August 2022.

HOROSCOPES by Joanne Madeline Moore

January 10 - January 16, 2022

Aries Relationships with work colleagues,

clients and/or customers will be a veritable minefield this week, as your (limited) patience and (under-used) diplomatic skills are tested. Trying to rush matters (and people) won’t help. Smart Rams will strive to be extra tolerant and understanding. You’ll also feel physically and mentally tired (especially on Tuesday and Wednesday) when Neptune squares Mars, and you’ll find energy and motivation levels are low. So pace yourself.

Taurus Your involvement with a group, class, club or organisation has other people looking to you for extra inspiration. So use your networking skills to drum up support, and don’t be afraid to ask others for assistance when you need it. The more energy you put into helping others, the more smoothly the week will progress. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Martin Luther King Jr: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” GGemini Money planet Venus is reversing through your ‘money-from-others’ zone, and commerce planet Mercury turns retrograde (from Friday until February 4). So money matters look complicated and confusing, especially if your finances are linked with a friend or family member. Avoid making any major fiscal moves until everyone is singing from the same song-sheet. Later in the week, avoid garrulous gossip and don’t let your busy-body side get the better of you.

Cancer The Sun, Pluto, Saturn,

retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury are all in your relationship zones, which really packs a punch! These planets activate your intensely moody and tempestuous side, so tread carefully. Make it a priority to use your powerful energy in positive ways. Avoid getting drawn into arguments (in person, when textingg and online)) and strive to keepp your possessive streak under control. Do your best to be a composed Crab!

Leo It’s a big week for busy Lions, as

the Sun (your ruling planet) makes positive connections with Neptune and Pluto. Creativity and intensity are highlighted as you express your inner muse and power through projects. Compassion is also high but so is confusion. Make sure you are extra careful when it comes to money. With Venus and Mercury retrograde, it’s not a good time to make expensive purchases, sign contracts or borrow money (especially from friends).

Virgo g Your ruler goes retrograde from

Fridaay until February 4. Mercury is the planet of communication, travel, commerce, computers, media and the internet. So – when it’s reversing – it’s not a suitable time to sign contracts; start a job or business; buy a phone, computer or car; or embark on a big holiday. Mercury retrograde IS a suitable time to do anything with an RE in front of it – revise, rehearse, research, revisit, refund, rethink, reschedule and re-do

Libra LIBRA HOROSCOPE

Many Librans will be preoccupied with home and family, which could include decorating, renovating, relocating or welcoming an additional family member. It’s also time to express yourself as you write, act, dance, draw, paint, perform, play music or sing up a storm. But a relationship with a relative or close friend looks confusing, as things move at a snail’s pace … or even slide backwards! Persistence and determination will win out in the end.

Scorpio Your compulsive side shifts into

top gear. Conversations will be very intense, as the Sun hooks up with your ruler Pluto in your communication zone; love planet Venus is still retrograde; and Mercury reverses through your family zone (from Friday until February 4). So you’re in the mood to get deep-and-meaningful with someone special. But be very careful what you say. Close relationships are confusing, still waters run deep and all is not as it seems!

Sagittarius g This week Venus continues

reverrsing through your finance zone (until January 29) and Mercury starts reversing through your communication zone (until February 4). So be careful with money, watch what you post online, and avoid getting carried away and telling tall tales. If you exaggerate and are somewhat elastic with the truth, then you could end up with egg on your Sagittarian face. As always, 100% honesty is definitely the best policy.

Capricorn Capricorns are set for a busy week as the Sun, Pluto and Venus all activate your sign and you’re keen to contribute your time and talents to a worthy cause in your local community. But the Mars/Neptune square saps confidence on Tuesday and Wednesday, when your energy is curbed or other people may criticise your efforts. Plenty of patience will see you through. So your motto is from philosopher Aristotle: “PPatience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.” Aquarius q The Sun, Pluto and retrograde

Vennus are visiting your solitude and spiritual zone. So activities like meditation, contemplation, prayer and yoga will help you handle stress. The magical Sun-Neptune link also boosts your artistic nature and stirs your humanitarian soul. So it’s a wonderful weekend to express your creative muse or help someone in need. Be inspired by Capricorn writer and poet Kahlil Gibran: “It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”

Pisces Mars and your ruler Neptune are at

odds, so expect confusion and low motivation as you find yourself lost in a quagmire of Piscean possibilities. Plus you need to be cautious this week. If something looks too good and too amazing to be true, then it probably is! You also need to be careful what you eat, drink and ingest, as you’re more inclined to food allergies or medication reactions. So make sure you are sensible, conserve your energy and pace yourself.

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, JANUARY 12, 1972

YALLOURN WORST HIT BY PMG DISPUTE

Yallourn is the hardest hit of Latrobe Valley areas affected by the Australia-wide PMG linemen’s dispute, now one month old. During the dispute no new installations of phones, or repairs to phones, of business firms will be made.

HOSPITAL CHANGEOVER

The Latrobe Valley Community Hospital at Yallourn will go out of existence at 12 noon next Sunday. The new hospital at Moe East will take over on the dot.

VICTORIAN TITLE TO GEHRICH

George Gehrich of Morwell won the Victorian Open 200m breaststroke title in Melbourne last weekend. Gehrich, who is trained at Poolside by Ray Johnson, recorded 2.41.4 in winning the title. FUN FACT: A Morwell brick veneer large, contemporary style home with three bedrooms was on sale for $16,000 with Cameron & Davies Estate Agents. 40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1982

LV HOSTEL SHOCK

The federal government has knocked back an application for $40,000 to fund the proposed Latrobe Valley emergency youth accommodation hostel. The decision has shocked local youth workers, who yesterday described it as ‘‘political’’.

SEC APPRENTICES NEAR 1000

The number of apprentices the SEC is training in the Latrobe Valley will pass the 1000 mark for the first time later this year. The Commission will employ more than 300 new apprentices this year, with intakes during this month and in June.

WALDEN THE WRECKER

Paul Walden kept Yallourn-Yallourn North’s hopes alive with a near-perfect bowling display against Morwell in CGCA round 13 last Saturday. Walden took 9/34 off 17.4 overs to completely dominate proceedings against a shattered Morwell side. FUN FACT: Keith Laws was pictured digging into his ‘‘bags of goodies’’ during his retirement presentation at the APM mill after 41 years of service. 30 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1992

HISTORY REPEATING

Last Friday morning’s fire at the Morwell Briquette Factory followed another fire on Wednesday, the SEC has admitted. An SEC spokesman said yesterday that the two fires were not related and he was ‘‘confident the correct procedures were carried out’’ despite union claims to the contrary.

YOUTH JOBLESS NUMBERS

Two in every five young people seeking work in Gippsland are unemployed, according to latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures.

FAHY’S HEROICS

TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1982 disappointing Glengarry and the result of the Churchill and Gormandale game was in dispute. FUN FACT: A 550g box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes would set you back $2.59 at Safeway stores in Morwell, Traralgon and Moe. 20 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2002

VIVE LA FRANCE ... AGAIN

FRENCH teenager Richard Gasquet, described as a better player than World No.1 Lleyton Hewitt at the same age, lived up to his hype with a hard-fought win in the Loy Yang Power Victorian Junior Championship in Traralgon yesterday. Gasquet, the world and European Under14 champion, gave 16-year-old countryman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga a one-set head start before recovering to win 5-7 6-2 6-4.

BUSINESSES LOOKING UP

Latrobe Valley businesses are predicting jumps in sales growth over the next five years, but believe the cost and quality of infrastructure is still a barrier to expansion.

SIDDLE’S BOWLING RECORD

Peter Siddle’s good cricket form continued when he broke a 28-year-old bowling record at the Commonwealth Bank Under17 Championship series. Siddle broke the longstanding record by taking 11 wickets in Victoria’s second match against South Australia. FUN FACT: A brand new Laser LXi sedan was for sale at $18,990 with free air conditioning at Valley Ford. 10 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 2012

VENUES VIE FOR POKIES

Pokie machine numbers between two local gaming venues will be slashed by almost 50 per cent this year, as a deadline for state industry regulation changes looms in August.

POLICE NUMBERS BOOST

A boost to local police resources, announced this week, will help pave the way for a new family violence policing unit in the Latrobe Valley by March. This week, the state government announced 15 additional frontline police would be allocated to the Eastern Victoria region by June 30.

BIG DAYS AHEAD

Tough conditions were the order of the first two days of play at the 2012 TRUenergy Yallourn Classic Singles. The event kicked off on Monday with two days of group stages, before the knockout rounds began yesterday, with gusty winds, showers and overcast skies providing bowlers with challenging conditions. However, the weather brought the best players to the fore, with few upsets and some impressive bowling on display. FUN FACT: Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in the Iron Lady was one of the big movies at Village Cinemas, Morwell.

The Guide SEX & MUSIC: BLURRED GENDERS SBS Viceland, Friday, 9.20pm

Going places: Comedian Rosie Jones, right, and presenter Scarlett Moffatt hit the road in Trip Hazard.

You could say that sex and music go hand in hand – but that wasn’t always the case. Back in the ’50s, around 3% of pop songs mentioned sex. Fast-forward to 2009 and 92% of songs were about the birds and the bees. This insightful series explores how pop music has influenced our sex lives and vice versa. Take a look at how performers such as David Bowie (pictured) and Mick Jagger, and their unique representations of gender, have influenced our appearances and attitudes. WHY WOMEN KILL SBS Viceland, Saturday, 8.30pm

Don’t mistake this campy series as another true-crime documentary lifting the lid on murderous women. The cheekily titled Why Women Kill is a gaudy and fun creation from Marc Cherry, the man behind the smash hit drama of the early 2000s, Desperate Housewives. Season two of the black comedy introduces a new cast and a striking 1940s setting, along with more swoon-worthy costumes. We meet Alma (Allison Tolman, Fargo, pictured) who dreams of filling a recently vacated seat in her local garden club. 60 MINUTES Nine, Sunday, 7pm

PICK OF THE WEEK TRIP HAZARD: MY GREAT BRITISH ADVENTURE SBS Viceland, Monday, 8.30pm

After the silly season of parties and junk food, many of us are craving some investigative journalism to bring us back to reality and, after more than 40 years of serving just that, 60 Minutes is a winner. In this week’s instalment, Sarah Abo (pictured) takes a look at the medical mystery of foreign accent syndrome. Tara Brown revisits the incredible story of Pasquale Buzzelli, the miracle man of 9/11, who survived after falling 18 floors as the towers collapsed.

Comedian Rosie Jones fronts this travel caper with an infectious grin. The refreshing series sees her take a celebrity pal with her in each episode exploring Britain, in her own words: “going to sh** places and making the most of it”. It’s a cheeky and uplifting journey, which is narrated by Olivia Colman, and sees Jones not only check out some rather beautiful locations, but parody the travel show genre with pretend “behind the scenes” scenes. In this doubleepisode premiere, the shenanigans kick off with Jones whisking presenter Scarlett Moffatt to the former home of William Wordsworth.

ROCKTOTS 2 years - 5years

(Held in Traralgon)

Every three weeks themes are changed to jungles, colours and dinosaurs just to name a few. Children pretend to be T-Rexes, roar like lions, and learn colours with props, puppets and toys.

Craft is another area of focus which develops imagination and fine motor skills in readiness for kindergarten.

DESTINATION Dance is a welcoming and friendly dance school situated in Morwell under the direction of Rebekah Symons. They offer classes from two years of age in many different styles of dance including mini movers (preschool), classical ballet/pointe, jazz, tap, hip-hop, lyrical/contemporary, acrobatics and technique.

If you stay a little longer and join our Intermediate class, you will have a skill for life. Your confidence and repertoire will

Music, singing and dancing should play a vital part in your young child’s development.

When neural scientists studied the effect of music they were astounded by the light show throughout the brain and found that music affects every area of the brain.

Rock and roll dancing is a fun, safe way to meet people.

At “Hooked On Rock”, we teach our beginners a simple sequence of moves. Starting with one step! It is easy and each lesson builds on the one before. Once you have done the basic course a few times, you will have enough skill to get out and dance the night away.

Rocktots

The impact of music on a young person’s brain is like lighting up a Christmas Tree.

Well, most of us who do dance, wish we had started earlier! Don’t wait any longer. Start lessons this year!

You will be exercising and learning a new skill, without really thinking about it. There are rock and roll groups all over the state/country - most country towns have a rock and roll club. There are plenty in the capital cities too. So no matter where you are, you can catch a lesson, attend a festival or got to rock and roll dance.

COVID concerns wreak havoc through cricket

Gelagotis stable eyes metropolitan success at Caulfield

CRICKET By LIAM DURKIN

COVID wreaked even more havoc than usual as local cricket returned for the 2022 component of the 2021/22 season last Saturday. With cases surging across the state, clubs in the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League and the Traralgon District Cricket Association found themselves absolutely decimated of playing stocks. Players who had either tested positive or were awaiting results could not be selected, meaning in some cases, clubs had to scramble to find players in order to fill teams. While clubs generally had enough players to bring up to the first grade team, the real challenge was getting teams on the park for the lower grades, which became a case of finding genuine fill-ins or ‘mates of a mate’ to help out. Rovers in the TDCA reportedly had an entire team worth of players that couldn’t play, while Gormandale and Glengarry had around five that were unable to be selected. The TDCA has informed member clubs they need to fill their A Grade first and foremost, while a degree of leniency will be given to the lower grades if it is clear clubs cannot field a team due to COVID. To avoid any potential to manipulate points or ladder positions, clubs will need to provide significant proof COVID has affected their ability to select players. If this is proven and teams have to forfeit, points will be split between the opposing teams. In the LVDCL, the majority of clubs reported player shortages due to isolation or pending results. Latrobe had five players across the club unavailable, while Morwell, Centrals, Moe, Raiders and Jeeralang-Boolarra had between two and four. Trafalgar faced the incredibly bizarre situation of finding itself so desperate it needed to bring Jacob Baldassa, who had not even played a game of cricket in six years, into the A Grade team. For Baldassa, who has lived in Brazil for the last three years and came back to Trafalgar to play a token game in C Grade before he flew back out - playing a game in the firsts was surely the furthest thing from his mind. The current COVID situation looks to be very much a week-to-week proposition for clubs, who will have to think on the run to an extent and navigate as best they can with whatever players they have to choose from. Things could get very interesting come finals time, as there is a good chance the

and given what is happening at the moment one could argue cricket administration is just as impossible.

They say cricket is an impossible game to master,

MOE trainer Peter Gelagotis is set to saddle up two runners as midweek racing makes a rare appearance at Caulfield today. Hereforagoodtime, fresh off a solid second at Mornington, is among the entries for the $50,000 Neds Canny Lass Handicap (2000m) for the Benchmark 70 horses. Bred in New Zealand, Hereforagoodtime broke her maiden status towards the back end of her last preparation over 2080m at Cranbourne on April 23. Now in her second racing preparation, the daughter of Tavistock is campaigning well without quite landing that winning blow. A good third behind Shezadandi at Sandown Hillside on December 8 was followed by a close fourth to Curly Burgin at Moonee Valley on December 17. Hereforagoodtime was sent out favourite when she dropped back in class and trip for a 2000m assignment at Mornington last time out, but bumped into Spirit of Gold. Down in the weights, the stable has booked Melbourne Cup winning jockey Jye McNeil to take the ride. The other Gelagotis runner is The Marg Factor, who contests the Neds Foxseal Handicap (1200m) at Benchmark 64 level. The Marg Factor, a daughter of Hvasstan, who the Gelagotis team trained to success during its racetrack career, has her hoof on the till. The four-year-old mare has finished runnerup at her past two outings in metropolitan company at Moonee Valley behind Akecheta and La Spezia respectively. Back to the 1200m despite the freshen up is a query, but The Marg Factor does have a touch of class as highlighted by her career record of three wins and four minor placings from 11 starts. Jockey Jake Noonan takes the ride from barrier two.

Champions of Champions decided BOWLS STRZELECKI NORTH CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS By MICHAEL HOLROYD

ALL 18 clubs in the Strzelecki North playing area were invited to send along their Club Champions to play in the annual Champions of Champions event recently, with the men and lady winners to proceed to challenge the Strzelecki South winners to see who goes to Bendigo to play in the Victorian Championships which leads to the Australian Championship. Newborough Bowling Club hosted the event with all players enjoying playing on the excellent grass greens.

The ladies final between Pat Fraser-Aurisch (Neerim District) and Sheryl Atkinson (Drouin) allowed two great rivals to continue their personal battle for supremacy. Atkinson won two shots on the first end and they went shot for shot until Fraser-Aurisch took a 10-7 lead after Atkinson led 7-6. Fraser-Aurisch maintained a narrow lead for the remainder of the match despite Atkinson narrowing the gap to 22-23 before Fraser-Aurisch won two shots on the next end to give her a welldeserved 25-22 victory. Two up and coming bowlers Tim Fraser (Trafalgar) and Michael Smogavec (Moe) took part in the men’s final. Fraser started well going to a 6-3 lead before

Smogavec went away to a 12-7 lead and managed to maintain this lead until Fraser drew level at 18-all after winning four of five ends. Fraser continued his good work to lead 24-21 before Smogavec rallied to tie the score at 24-all before Fraser won the next end to win 25-24. A great display of bowling from two young stars of the future which was appreciated by the strong crowd. The ladies novice between Lisa Arnold (Morwell Club) and Aga Kozlowska (Yinnar) was a repeat of a nailbiting match from last year which Kozlowska won 21-20. The players did not let the crowd down with Arnold reversing the result on her foe with a 21-20 victory in another enthralling match.

The men’s novice was won by Matt Ogilvie (Traralgon), who defeated his Traralgon compatriot Jedd Ladgrove 21-8. Pennant resumes this weekend with Traralgon and Newborough in Division 1 looking to play Friday night in what should be an exciting game between the two powerhouse sides in the competition. In other matches, Moe hosts Traralgon RSL and a win at home would help their prospects of staying in Division 1. Drouin hosts Warragul and Trafalgar hosts Morwell Club to complete an interesting round. Sunday sees the first rounds of the State Mixed Pairs competition.

Big moment: Winner of the women’s final, Yue Yuan from China, speaks at the presentation, while runner-up Paula Ormaechea of Argentina (far right) can only help but smile.

Formalities: Traralgon Tennis Association president Darryl Higginbotham, men’s runner-up Bjorn Fratangelo of the USA, winner Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic and Latrobe City Mayor Cr Kellie O’Callaghan.

Czech mate as Tomas seals title THE men’s final of the Traralgon ATP Challenger on Sunday saw Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic defeat United States counterpart Bjorn Fratangelo. Machac broke away after a tight first set went to tiebreak, eventually winning 7-6 6-3. The 21-year-old secured victory in just under two hours in front of an appreciative crowd that was treated to high quality tennis by two players who came into the tournament as the fourth and fifth ranked seeds respectively. Power was a feature of the match, as the ball pinged over the net at great speed, and this, coupled with precision placement, was a deciding factor in many points. Fourth seed Machac ended the match with five

aces, while fifth seed Fratangelo fared just as well, nabbing four. Both players saved more than 60 per cent break points, although Machac’s ascendency in second serve points won - 50 to 38 per cent - proved to be decisive. The Czech seemed extremely calm throughout the match, hardly showing any emotion, while there was a great deal of respect shown by Fratangelo, who politely signalled an applauding gesture to his opponent at times following a well-executed shot. Arguably the best return nailed by Machac came when he made ground in the first set to get to a drop shot from Fratangelo that looked a sure bet to be too far away for Machac to get to. As the winning point was secured Machac quickly soaked up the applause of the crowd, before he and Fratangelo were standing solemnly for the presentation. Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan was on

hand for the presentation, and made mention of how tremendous it was to be able to bring world class tennis to the Latrobe Valley. Tennis Australia officials also took the opportunity to congratulate the Traralgon Tennis Association on their organisation, while the association’s president Darryl Higginbotham paid tribute to the work of all volunteers, kitchen staff and ball kids (and even ball parents on occasions) who had made the event run smoothly. Fratangelo was gracious in defeat, saying his opponent deserved victory. “Great job to Tomas, it was a hell of a match, it felt like I was playing seven of you, you’re one of the fastest guys I’ve ever seen,” he said. “It was a great week, organised fantastically. I love this place, it’s a great little town.” Machac, who’s English was understandably limited, said a few words upon accepting the winner’s trophy. “Congratulations on a great match (Fratangelo).

I would like to thank everyone who made this tournament special for me,” he said. IN the women’s ITF final, China’s Yue Yuan defeated Argentinian Paula Ormaechea 6-3 6-2. The 23-year-old won all four of her break points during the final, and controlled most facets of the match. Speaking at the presentation, Yuan said the tournament was good preparation for the Australian Open qualifiers. Ormaechea proved to be a fan favourite, with a number of enthusiastic shouts of “come on!” exclaimed throughout the match, and she generously took the time to sign autographs for ball kids after the match. As both finals wound down, the sense of how great the week had been was seen on the faces of the ball kids, who took one last opportunity to say goodbye to Spanish tournament director Carlos Cuadrado, who judging by how youngsters flocked to him wanting a photo, had clearly made the week a memorable one for them.

Power: Tomas Machac prepares to smoke a forehand return in the men’s final.

Cool: Argentinian Paula Ormaechea came runner-up at the Traralgon International.

Challenge: Men’s runner-up Bjorn Fratangelo of the USA moves in for a return in the final.

Intent: Winner of the women’s final Yue Yuan has eyes firmly on the ball for this backhand.

Charlton reflects on his hectic schedule

TENNIS TRARALGON INTERNATIONAL By LIAM DURKIN

TRARALGON local Josh Charlton flew the flag for the region at the ATP Challenger event. Charlton received a wildcard into the main draw, and had the honour of playing an internationally recognised event on courts he had grown up on. Although he went down to Argentinian Pedro Cachin, Charlton said he enjoyed reconnecting with the club that had given him his start in the game. “It’s not very often you get to play this level of tennis at your home club, so it is a great opportunity to go out there and compete and just have a lot of fun,” he said. “I think the experience is invaluable. The more opportunities you get at this level the more comfortable you get and the better you play, the more the nerves settle so you can just focus on playing your style of tennis.” Charlton flew back to America on Sunday to

start the college season with the University of Oregon. “I will compete in my college season from January to around early June, then have three months off in the American summer, travel and play a pretty heavy ITF schedule aiming to compete and build a professional ranking and look to progress from there,” he explained. Although the Traralgon ATP event marked the first time Charlton had been back home in a little over 12 months, the man himself said it was great to still have a strong connection with his local club. “It was pretty special to see how many people came out to support, a lot of family and friends and a lot of people I have grown up with around the club for many years, it was really nice to see them come out and support me … I appreciate it a lot,” he said. “There are a lot of people at the club who have had a lot to do with me and helped me along the way. I look forward to growing as a player while being part of the Traralgon Tennis Club.”

Tigers triumph CRICKET LVDCL By LIAM DURKIN

MORWELL maintained its ascendency at the top of the ladder in the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League last Saturday. The Tigers defeated Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders by four wickets, spearheaded by knocks of 62 from Blake Mills and an unbeaten 43 from Brendan Brincat. Acting captain Mills stood up in the absence of Jordan Campbell, and led from the front in helping his side across the line. Chasing 173, the visiting Morwell was in a spot of bother early, slumping to 4/37, but the work of Mills and Brincat, as well as Kris Fortuin who scored 28, saw the Tigers get the result they desired. Earlier in the piece, veteran Raiders openers Chris Stanlake and Ken Hutchinson blunted the new ball, putting on a first wicket stand of 65. With something of a platform built, the game was delicately poised when Raiders captain Liam Maynard came to the crease at first drop. Maynard got himself set, moving his own score to 20 and the Raiders total to 1/102, before he was adjudged leg before to the bowing of Brincat. This opening allowed the Tigers to apply the handbrake on the contest, and they then held the game successfully until the compulsory close at 50 overs. Brincat was at his miserly best, taking 1/17 from 10 overs, which included three maidens. Fellow new ball bowler Travis Pickering nabbed 2/46. Maynard and Brayden Hickey each took two wickets for Raiders. CHURCHILL was big winners over Mirboo North. Everything the Cobras touched turned to gold with the ball after they elected to have a trundle. It was absolute carnage out in the middle at Mirboo North, as by the fourth over the Tigers were 3/3. Chris Williams took the prized wicket of Tigers skipper Jesse Giardina for a first baller, and from there the situation did not improve at all as far as Mirboo North was concerned, with the sidelines quickly resembling a revolving door as players came and went from square leg umpire duties and on the scorebook. The ever reliable Shane Peters did as he often does, putting up strong resistance with 25 off 37 balls, but unlike previous matches where the ‘Shane Peters Effect’ comes into play, the situation the Tigers found themselves in on this particular occasion was too much for even the man known as ‘Choco’ to conquer. Williams took 2/16, while Ijaz Ahmad and Matt Harvey nabbed 3/12 and 2/21 respectively. Churchill wasted little time getting the required runs, and made it an early day for all concerned by walking across the line in the 17th over. The Cobras understandably chased the bonus point, and as such lost four wickets as the top order all looked to get the job over and done with. Ryan Wilk (24 from 28 balls), Ric Velardi (21 from 23) and John Keighran (19 not out from 20) played their role in seeing the bonus point came Churchill’s way, all keeping their strike rates above 85. Hudson Kerr was the pick of the Mirboo North bowlers, taking 3/30. MOE was victorious in a competitive match against Centrals. The Lions made 179 batting first at Ted Summerton Reserve, with their innings virtually made up of a collection of small but meaningful partnerships of 30 to 40 runs. Andrew Philip was again the man to provide the steady hand, and his innings of 55 from 76 balls gave the rest of the Moe batsman someone to hang around with. Corey Pollard took 4/19 for Centrals. Amazingly all four of his wickets were leg before. Rob Webber and Bryce Williamson also chipped in with two wickets each. Centrals started promisingly in reply, getting to 30 without loss. Royce Colgrave got things moving for Moe by taking the first two wickets, and when established batsman Wayne Henry was dismissed for 25, the score was suddenly 3/45. Webber and Tye Hourigan then combined for a 46 run partnership, and looked set to take the game deep before Webber was caught by wicketkeeper Noah Kane off the bowling of Ash Savige against the run of play. Hourigan continued for a short while, but couldn’t quite press on, departing for a determined 40 with the score on 5/123. Moe then controlled the rest of the match, getting the percentages in their favour by making sure Centrals was always behind enough on the run rate. The Lions survived a few nervy moments, and found an unlikely hero with the ball in the form of captain/coach Pat Spiteri, who ended with 3/17, complementing the work of Savige (3/27) and Colgrave (2/18). LATROBE defeated CATS at Peter Siddle Oval. The Sharks closed at 8/134 batting first, which proved to be enough as CATS could only manage 94 all out. Both teams had to bat somewhat conservatively

Three votes: Aiden George made 68 not out and took 2/25 for Trafalgar in their win over Jeeralang-Boolarra. file photograph as they only had a handful of regular A Grade players available, meaning there was a tricky balancing act of trying to score runs while at the same time not playing too aggressively and risk exposing inexperienced or young players in the middle order. This approach was best demonstrated in the form of Latrobe legend Anthony Bloomfield, who scored 19 off 75 balls opening the batting, and Zimbabwean Ronnie Chokununga who made 44 from 73, as well as Brett Duncan who saw off 60 balls in his innings of 23. While ordinarily these strike rates are not going to be a winning recipe in too many one day games, the Sharks settled on this approach as being the one that would give them the best chance of winning. For Chokununga especially, a batsman generally regarded as one of the competitions most fearless stroke makers, the need to reign himself in for the betterment of the team ensured Latrobe put up a tricky total for CATS to chase. CATS basically went the reverse-Latrobe and sent their own Zimbabwean Tinashe Panyangara to the top of the order. Panyangara did not muck around, getting to nine off eight balls, before Bloomfield had him dismissed. The end of Panyangara triggered a top order collapse, as CATS went from 1/10 to 3/20. CATS number four Sam Gissara did his best to emulate the deeds of the Latrobe batsmen mentioned above with a 77-ball 24, but found himself bereft of much support. Latrobe coach Tyron Gamage took two wickets up top and came back to clean up the tail, finishing with figures of 5/21. TRAFALGAR banded together amid a backdrop of uncertainty to defeat Jeeralang-Boolarra. What started as an effort to even get a side on the park ended with a six-wicket win for the Ships on the Boolarra synthetic. The Panthers elected to bat first in greasy conditions and got off to a steady start with openers Ben McCormack and Ben Duffy putting on 48. It was six and out for McCormack, who was caught and bowled by Daniel Heathcote the ball after whacking him for a maximum. Heathcote ended with 3/35, while off-spin twins Aiden George and Rhys Holdsworth took two wickets each. George held down the middle stages of the innings, only going for 25 runs in his 10 overs, and took the key wicket of Nila Thillekarathna with some clever bowling - throwing a quicker and flatter arm ball in at leg stump after sensing Thillekarathna was shaping to work the ball fine. A direct hit run out from Liam White at short mid wicket highlighted the Trafalgar effort in the field. Another direct hit run out followed a little while later, albeit in a slightly unconventional way when a hard straight drive from Panther Matt McGrath came off the hand of bowler Jackson Noonan in his follow through and found Rhy McNaughton short of his ground at the non strikers end. Jeeralang-Boolarra ended at 9/150. Duffy top scored on 51 and McCormack made 28, but the Panthers struggled to find a greater output from there on in. The Ships were forced to reshuffle their batting order given the unavailability of some players, and so Heathcote and Noonan became all-rounders for the day and were put up to bat at five and six respectively. George and White combined for a 67 run opening stand. Much like Latrobe, the Ships had to play within themselves a bit with the bat to maximise their chances of winning and only really looked to hit the ball to the boundary if the shot was absolutely on. George batted through the innings, eventually finishing unbeaten on 68 from 113 balls to see Trafalgar home in the 48th over. Some wickets late in the piece kept things interesting, but the cool heads of George and Heathcote and then George and Noonan prevailed. TRARALGON West had the bye. THIS Saturday sees Round 8 action take place. It will be a battle of the Tigers as Mirboo North hosts Morwell. Moe plays Jeeralang-Boolarra at Ted Summerton, CATS and Raiders clash at Traralgon South, Traralgon West plays neighbours Centrals and Churchill meets Latrobe. Trafalgar has the bye.

Major TDCA round awaits CRICKET TDCA ROUND 8 PREVIEW  IMPERIALS V GLENGARRY

Success: Glengarry, pictured here against Rovers earlier in the season, scored a victory against Yarram & District in the only TDCA A Grade match played at the weekend. file photograph

Magpies soar in only match CRICKET TDCA

A WET week of weather and COVID-19 isolation protocols meant only one A Grade match was able to be played this past weekend in the TDCA. Yarram & District Cricket Club travelled to Fred King Oval to take on Glengarry in a match that would solidify one of the two teams’ positions in top four. Yarram & District won the toss and sent Glengarry in to bat knowing that with a few players unavailable they would be able to test the depth of Glengarry’s team if they could get early wickets. The green tinge to the wicket due to the covers being on for the majority of the week gave the Pelicans plenty of encouragement and with Al Jenkin and Glengarry’s skipper Nat Freitag opening the batting there was a genuine chance to get into the middle order. The first wicket fell with the score at 43 as Jenkin departed for 24 which brought Paul Henry to the crease who took his chance to bat up the order and played an excellent support role for Freitag as the

two batsmen went about compiling a partnership of 136 runs before Henry was dismissed for a well made 47 from 91 balls. Freitag would go on with the scoring as a couple more wickets fell before he departed for a well made 126 from 117 balls which included 12 fours and 3 sixes, notching up the highest score in A Grade for the season to date. Welles Jenkins from Yarram was able to take some late innings wickets which stemmed the heavy scoring a bit, dismissing Freitag with the score on 248, but the damage had been done and Glengarry at the compulsory closure of the innings had amassed 7/258. As mentioned, Jenkins bowled well for the Pelicans claiming 3/40 from nine overs (all bowled) while Daniel O’Keefe took 2/44 with Ant Scott (1/33) and Harjit Singh (1/46) the other wickettakers. A hard task was ahead for Yarram & District, but considering how well the Glengarry wicket has been playing this season, they certainly weren’t out of the match although they would be relying heavily on captain Scott and need a lot of luck in the process as well. Yarram started their innings exactly the same

way as Glengarry did with the opening batsmen putting on a partnership of 43 for the first wicket. Daniel O’Keefe looked to be in a hurry as he reached 29 from just 27 balls, hitting four fours and a six in the process, while Damien Quigley played a supporting role up the other end. Scott then came and went for just two runs and Brayden Askew followed quickly as well adding only three to the score which broke the back of the Pelicans batting line-up. Young gun Matthew Garland (nine from 42 deliveries) tried to steady the ship along with Anthony Bland (22 from 69) and Peter Griffiths (21 from 48), but the task was just too great as Glengarry knocked over Yarram in the 42nd over for 121. Hamish Busk looks to be back to full fitness, taking a superb 5/22 which included the big wickets of O’Keefe and Scott. As Glengarry has done all season, the rest of the wickets were shared around as Cam Graham, Freitag, Brandon Mayberry, Jenkin and Lachlan Clarke all took one wicket each in a win that will now find Glengarry back to the top of the ladder.

MISTY rain and low-lying cloud provided a perfect cool environment for the first run of the year at Mirboo North. A field of 25 runners enjoyed the moist conditions and most made it back well within the hour. Prams, assorted dogs and a spread of ages made this a classic example of community- based fitness and camaraderie.

Those from out of the area enjoyed the unique bushland environment and giant tree-ferns which characterise the trail, and commented on the sounds of kookaburras, whip-birds and honey-eaters. The smooth run-event is a credit to the volunteers, who arrive at 7.30am to set everything up and make sure we are all well-briefed. A big thanks to them and for their friendly enthusiasm. Breakfast was held at the popular Jimmy Jambs where the coffee is great and the food brilliant. Saturday morning, done right.

Good time: Henry volunteered at Grand Ridge Rail Trail parkrun at the weekend. photograph supplied

Participation report now released FOOTBALL

AFL Gippsland recently released its participation report for 2021. The report detailed the number of people involved in Gippsland football across a variety of age groups and roles. Despite a second abandoned season in succession due to lockdowns and COVID restrictions, more than 6000 people played open age football last season, while more than 5500 participated in junior football (under the age of 17). Although most leagues across Gippsland only managed to get 10 or so games in this season, crowd numbers remained healthy as supporters looked to get their footy fix once again. The opening match of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League season between Yarram and Yallourn Yallourn North drew a finals-like crowd of more than 1000 people to Yarram.

One to watch: Hamish Busk, with the ball for Glengarry, could cause havoc for the Imperials top order. Prediction: Even with the home ground advantage for Imperials, Glengarry will prove too strong.  TOONGABBIE V YARRAM AND DISTRICT

TOONGABBIE and Yarram are both very close on the ladder with Toongabbie just two points ahead of Yarram. This game will be one to watch this week, as they battle for third position on the ladder. Yarram will be hurting from their last game and will want some redemption from last week, so, they will be ready and raring to give Toongabbie hell. This will need to be done with both bat and ball for Yarram by the likes of top order batters Damien Quigley, Daniel O’Keefe and captain Anthony Scott. But this will not be made easy, by the Rams bowling power of Keenan Hughes and gun left arm orthodox spinner Matt Barry, who have both been on fire with the ball this season. One to watch: Daniel O’Keefe will look to make a big score, and bat Yarram to a win. Prediction: Going to be a very close match, and is too close to call.  GORMANDALE V ROVERS

Cool time had at Grand Ridge Rail Trail parkrun PARKRUN GRAND RIDGE RAIL TRAIL By DIANA REARDON

GLENGARRY, coming off a big win against Yarram last round, will face the well-rested Imperials, after having a bye the first round. Glengarry has proved that they are a forced to be reckoned with over the last season with the appointment of Nathan Freitag as captain. This has made a massive difference to the team, and helped them not only with bat and ball, but his first-class cricket knowledge, unmatched by almost any TDCA player. But Ryan Morley, following his appointment as Imperials captain, has done well for his team. While probably not winning as many games as they had liked, he has been leading from the front and done an excellent job at that.

GORMANDALE will not be getting much sleep on Friday night, as they will be so excited to play Rovers, who have only won a single game this year, but against Yarram, making it one of the bigger victories they could’ve got. But Gormandale will be itching to get their first win, so there is no doubt that they will come out with everything they’ve got and give it to Rovers. Rovers duo Tyler Pearce and Dougal Williams are both in good form at the moment, with Tyler notching up his first 50 of the season, and Dougal Williams first 100 of the season, giving them plenty of confidence going into this round. This will be a challenge however for rovers playing against Nat Campbell, as he is always someone who can tear through the Rovers batting order. So Rovers will need to watch the ball and make sure they read the ball as it comes out the hand of Campbell.

One to watch: Nat Campbell will be one to keep an eye on, with not only ball in hand, but someone who also has an explosive batting game about him too. Prediction: This is going to be a very close match and will come down to the team that has the most fight in them. However, Gormandale will come out on top having the home ground advantage against Rovers.

On that day alone the Demons made $8920 on the gate, $8500 on the canteen, $9000 on the bar and $5000 in post-match meals and drinks. With clubs set to recommence preseason training in coming weeks, all involved in local football will be hoping to finally get a clean run at things and a full season in 2022.

The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 12 January, 2022 — Page 33

Dennis menaces his classic rivals THE EnergyAustralia Classic Singles netted victory for an interstate player, with Rohan Dennis of Merrylands, New South Wales, prevailing in an thrilling final over Ray Jansen of Melbourne Cricket Club. Dennis was the last player standing in the tournament which saw two days of sectional play followed by a day of knockout rounds. Jansen, a previous winner of the event, took the game right up to his more youthful opponent, as both players traded periods of dominance at each end. A tense crowd watched the final with intent at Newborough Bowling Club to see which player could get to the magic number of 25 points needed to secure the title. Only a handful of points separated the two competitors for the most part, however, Dennis was able to get some vital breathing space around the 20-point mark, establishing a three point buffer which Jansen was unable to bridge. Some deft touch and delicate placings from Dennis had the crowd and even his opponent in awe late in the piece, as on a few occasions he was able to thread the eye of the needle and curve his bowls in between those of Jansen’s to get closer to the Jack. Dennis appeared calm and collected as he got within touching distance of the required 25 points, sipping an ice cold glass of water brought to him from the clubhouse. He was forced to sweat on his victory as Jansen refused to give in. The state of the match toward the end forced Jansen to deliver his bowls like a 10-pin bowler to try and take Dennis’ bowls and the Jack out of bounds to force a restart. Jansen’s stalling tactic was successful in some earlier instances, however, it did not come off right at the end, as his bowl sailed past those of Dennis, thus sealing his win. Great sportsmanship was seen by both players in the immediate moments following, as they happily shook hands and said ‘great game’, along with

Newborough Bowling Club chairman Alan Ryan, who officiated the match. For Jansen, even being in the final was a story in it itself, as he had been asked by Newborough Bowling Club at the start of the tournament if he would be available to mark the deciding game if it came to it. As a man who has been through bouts of cancer, Jansen shone as a bright light for all bowlers present at the final into what challenges in life can be overcome. Dennis was quick to acknowledge this of his opponent when speaking in the moments after his win. “He is an inspiration to all us bowlers, what he has done is absolutely incredible and we are all very proud of him,” he said. “It could have gone either way. He is a great competitor, he has won here before and knows how to get it done, so he was a very tough opponent for me. “I’m absolutely over the moon. It is incredible to win this tournament, I’ve been coming down for quite a few years now and really, really proud to get on the honour board with some of the legends who have won here in the years gone by. “Bowls is one of those ones where you give it your best shot and you need a bit of luck on your side as well. I had some close games along the way but seemed to find enough to get through each game.” Dennis also wished to make mention of the great condition of the greens. “There has been heaps of rain and the greens have stood up really well,” he said. “Honestly this is one of the best grass greens I’ve played on, a real credit to the greenkeeper Scotty (Jones).” A presentation to Dennis and Jansen was made in the clubrooms, with Meredith Bowden from tournament sponsor EnergyAustralia on hand to announce the company would continue to support the event in coming years. The Classic Singles has grown in stature since it was first played 25 years ago, and is now arguably the most prestigious lawn bowls tournament in Gippsland. Tournament director Michael Holroyd said the 25th anniversary of the event was a tremendous show.

Contest: Classic Singles runner-up Ray Jansen.

LAWN BOWLS CLASSIC SINGLES By LIAM DURKIN

So close: Bowling of the highest quality was on display in the final.

Hail the champ: Rohan Dennis, from Merrylands in New South Wales, was the winner of this year’s EnergyAustralia Classic Singles at Newborough Bowling Club. “It was terrific for our 25th year,” he said. “We had 14-15 players pull out for various reasons prior to the tournament and we were able to fill all spots to keep it going every year of having a full tournament. “For the final it was a terrific day to play, a good game of bowls, good crowd, they saw some of the best draw bowling, along with the odd couple of drives that people did to get themselves out of trouble.” As the club’s marquee event, Holroyd said the success of the Classic Singles helped the club get the New Year off on a positive note. “It is certainly a great start to the year,” he said. “We’ve found since we came back to the first week in January that there seems to be a lot of interest in bowls.” With bowling clubs famous for their hospitality, it may be no secret as to why the Classic Singles has continued after so many years. “The players like the greens, they reckon the people here are friendly and they all love the lunch,” Holroyd said.

Well bowled: The crowd acknowledges a good shot at 2022 EnergyAustralia Classic Singles final.

WNBL postponed BASKETBALL WNBL

SATURDAY’S scheduled Women’s National Basketball League double-header in the Latrobe Valley was postponed due to COVID protocols. The Sydney Uni Flames v Perth Lynx and Melbourne Boomers v Canberra Capitals clashes were called off just a few hours before they were scheduled to tip-off at the Gippsland Indoor Regional Sports Stadium in Traralgon. The decision was made based on advice from Basketball Australia and the WNBL will advise a new date for both games as soon as possible. Tickets purchased for both games will be honoured when these games are rescheduled. More information from Ticketek will be emailed to ticket holders. “The postponement of these games is disappointing. The entire organisation was excited to showcase the WNBL in Traralgon and bring a game back to the State Basketball Centre,” Melbourne Boomers chair Tony Hallam said. “The health and safety of the players, coaches, clubs, staff and fans is the League’s number one priority when considering these matters.” The WNBL apologised for any disruption caused to fans and members. “Sport around Australia and across the world has been impacted by the virus, with games postponed in most elite competitions and the WNBL is no exception,” the league said. “As we work through re-scheduling these games we send our best to everyone working so hard to help the community at this time.”

CBL action resumes

BASKETBALL CBL By LIAM DURKIN

THE Country Basketball League resumed its season at the weekend. Round 5 action saw the Churchill Blue Devils take on Warragul Warriors at Latrobe Leisure Churchill in the senior men’s section. The home side led 20-15 at quarter time, and took a 33-27 lead into the main break. The Warriors then dominated as play resumed for the second half, putting up 22 points to 13 in the third quarter on their way to a 60-52 win. Some familiar names with Mid Gippsland football were seen on the Warragul team sheet, with Hill End senior coach Mike Santo and MGFNL senior best-and-fairest Ambu Uliando combining for 19 and 10 points respectively. Jordan Canovan led the scoring for Churchill, tipping in 23. In other games, Maffra defeated Wonthaggi 87-63, Korrumburra disposed of Sale 109-75, and Wonthaggi beat Lakes Entrance 106-64 in the Saturday game before backing up to play the Eagles the next day. Moe and Traralgon had the bye. Warragul holds the lead with a 6-0 win-loss record, but the table is an extremely congested pack. Traralgon is second with a 4-1 win-loss record points, while Moe (3-3) and Churchill (3-3) are fifth and sixth. This weekend, Traralgon and Churchill will clash on Saturday at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium. Both teams will need to recover quickly, as they are back on court the next day. The T-Birds make the journey to Korumburra and the Blue Devils host Maffra. Moe only has the one game, playing Wonthaggi at home. Other games see Sale play Lakes Entrance (Saturday) and Warragul play Sale (Sunday). IN the women’s, Traralgon defeated Sale 68-58 last Saturday. The T-Birds outscored the Sonics in every quarter bar-one, with Tanarly Hood scoring 20 points and Emma White 19. The win kept Traralgon’s ascendency at the top of the ladder, and they followed up with a relatively easy win over Moe the next day. Moe was never really in the hunt, going down 52-32. Emily Scholtes, who was invited to train with NBL club Melbourne Boomers recently, led the scoring with 17. The Meteors sit fourth on the table behind Traralgon, Korumburrra and Maffra. In other Round 5 results Maffra defeated Wonthaggi 81-69, Korumburra got the better of Sale 81-63 and Lakes Entrance got home on possibly the longest road trip in Gippsland sport, beating Wonthaggi 51-41. Some double headers feature in Round 6 action this weekend. On Saturday, Moe hosts Maffra, while Traralgon is home to Wonthaggi.

Headline act: Former World No.6 player Gilles Simon was the top seed at this year’s Traralgon International.

Simon brings star power TENNIS TRARALGON INTERNATIONAL By LIAM DURKIN

THE Traralgon International ATP Challenger Tour event was highlighted by top seed Gilles Simon taking part in the tournament. The former World No.6 added a great deal of profile to the event, in what was an added coup for the Traralgon Tennis Association in welcoming a player of his standing. Simon made it to the quarter-final, but was knocked out by Dutch opponent Jesper De Jong 6-4 6-1. The Frenchman had a relatively straightforward run to the finals, getting past countryman Geoffrey Blancaneaux in a walkover in the Round of 16, and in a 6-0 6-2 win in blustery conditions against Tim van Rijthoven of The Netherlands in the Round of 32. While the courts of Traralgon would have surely been a far cry from Wimbledon or Roland-Garros, Simon was ever the professional, and appeared to see the local competition as every bit as important as a major grand slam. The 37-year-old first took to the court last Wednesday for his match against van Rijthoven, in what was a stop-start affair as light rain made conditions treacherous underfoot. Both players were initially indecisive about whether or not to commence the match, but eventually got underway after some elbow grease by the ball kids with towels in hand addressed some areas of concern. It was a rather innocuous start as Simon and van Rijthoven worked their way into the contest, with a number of long rallies highlighting early stages of the first set. With Simon 13 years older than his opponent, he opted to wear him down rather than go head-tohead, and as the first set progressed it appeared Simon, the current World No.122, was happy to stay patient and take part in long rallies until he found van Rijthoven (ranked 261 in the world) either wrong footed or out of position. When dissecting the way a player of Simon’s calibre seemed to play, an aspect that stood out was the way in which he never seemed to be rushed in anything he did. Simon’s desperation and attention to detail also stood out. On a few occasions he still made an effort to get to balls it was clear he had no chance of returning, emphasising the mentality the top line players must have, while he also pulled out of numerous serves after lobbing the ball up only for the wind to take it further away than he wanted. The match was abandoned for a short while

in the second set as the wind became stronger, forcing players and officials to retreat to the hut. Van Rijthoven became agitated as Simon closed in on victory, whacking one of the match balls out of the court in frustration, but by the same token his body language at that point seemed to marvel at the quality of his opponent, as it did some time later when he hammered his racquet on top of the net with a look on his face as if to say to Simon ‘too good’. It was a low-key exit for Simon from the Traralgon Showcourt following his win, as he simply made his way into the public viewing area between courts to talk to fellow French players at the tournament. When asked if he could speak to a humble journalist from the Latrobe Valley Express, Simon’s first response was “five minutes”. Simon, who speaks exceptional English, said he was happy with how his first match of the tournament unfolded.

“It was a difficult match, difficult conditions, so you never know what to expect,” he said. “I was pretty happy about the game and I managed to play some decent tennis so I’m happy. “I’m going to Melbourne right after to play the qualies (qualifiers). It is difficult for me now I’m getting older but that is part of sport, you need to play, you need to play some matches. “The form is up and down, today was a good day, maybe tomorrow is a different one, it is changing very fast now so I just try to appreciate when I have a good day when I can play, move and everything and hope it is going to be the same day tomorrow.” In what could serve as a lesson in persistence, Simon explained his journey to Traralgon had been some time coming, and like most visitors, couldn’t resist making a comment about the weather. “It is my first time. I didn’t play as a junior, I was not good enough, so this is my first experience here,” he said. “Strange one, super-hot the first two days and now it is freezing, windy and raining.” Having played against and defeated the ‘Big Three’ of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic at stages during his career, the appearance of Simon at Traralgon is sure to add another chapter of rich history to tennis in the region. Although he wouldn’t name the best of the three, Simon said the challenge of playing against a trio of players who have won 60 of the past 75 Grand Slam singles titles was something he would look back on fondly. “I’ve had the chance to play against all the players of the era so it was in a way a chance to compete against these guys,” he said. “In a way I was happy to have the chance to beat all of them also because it means a lot, but at the same time it was not the best era to try to make your career with the titles because they were just contesting the titles with each other. “But in the end I think it was a chance because as tennis players you want to compete and play against the very best and the most dominant players and I had the chance to face them, play them, lose most of the time, but I had a win against each of them so I’m happy with that.” For the record, Simon has defeated Roger Federer twice in nine matches, once in nine matches against Rafael Nadal, and once in 12 matches against Novak Djokovic. And for the record, the time of The Express’ interview with Simon was two minutes, 22 seconds.
