MISCONDUCT

LATROBE City councillor Melissa Ferguson has been found guilty of misconduct following comments made during an explosive council meeting in August last year.

A Councillor Conduct Panel (CCP) consisting of Jo-Anne Mazzeo (chair) and Helen Buckingham OAM, found Cr Ferguson, who represents the South Ward, made abusive and threatening statements as part of a discussion about bushfire recovery funds.

The August 2 meeting, which was not broadcast live on Facebook due to

a “technical glitch” was later posted to YouTube with parts redacted on legal advice.

The panel report stated that during the council meeting, Cr Ferguson made abusive statements towards council staff and made accusations of “appropriation of funds, fraud and missing money”.

“I believe that my constituents who were affected by (the) bushfire have been dudded,” Cr Ferguson said.

“And I would like to see more about this and where this money went.”

Latrobe City councillors voted to accept the panel statement of reasons at last week’s ordinary April council meeting,

however, Cr Ferguson was an apology from the meeting.

Councillors Sharon Gibson and Dale Harriman abstained from voting to accept the statement of reasons.

The application to the CCP was made by councillors Darren Howe, Brad Law, Tracie Lund and Dan Clancey on August 25, 2021.

Former Latrobe City general manager of Community Health of Wellbeing Suzanne Miller told the panel she resigned after the August interaction with Cr Ferguson.

Health Service said this incident was not the first, saying there had been “a culmination of events over a long period of time”.

“Her staff were fearful of councillors, and that this fear was indicative of an unsafe work environment,” the report stated.

Cr Lund,wholikeCrFerguson,wasvoted into the position at the November 2020 election, talked about “the struggles she continues to face” after a 2021 briefing which involved the South Ward councillor.

FRESH data released by the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) has revealed a significant increase in Sexual Offences across the Latrobe region.

The category has experienced one of the largest increases of all crimes in Latrobe City last year, with the number of Sexual Offences in Latrobe increasing from 357 offences in 2020, to 605 in 2021 - a rise of 69.4 per cent.

Victoria Police says this fluctuation has likely been impacted by the pandemic, with 2021’s results 2.3 per cent higher than the offences recorded in the 12 months up to December 2021 (591).

Detective Sergeant Mark Britton of the Morwell Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT), said it is not surprising to see an influx of sexual offences reported as the state emerges from the pandemic environment.

“While we did see an increase in the level of sexual offending over the last year, the figure is now back to where it was pre-pandemic,” he said.

“Given the significant prevalence and underreporting of sexual offending in the community, the increase in reporting indicates that victims feel confident in coming forward

and seeking help from police, which is extremely positive.”

Sgt Britton gave an overview of the local SCOIT unit and its operations in the Latrobe region.

“We have a team of 24 specially trained detectives who work within Morwell’s SOCIT. These detectives are trained to understand sexual offending, to hold perpetrators to account and to support victims through the investigation,” he explained.

“SOCITs deal with a case from the time of disclosure, through the investigation process and then on to court.

“This means that victims are able to establish an ongoing relationship and trust with one or two police members without having to continually retell their personal experiences.

“We understand how much courage it takes for victims of sexual offending to come forward. It may take days, months or years after the incident has occurred. We want to remind victims that police will listen and leave no stone unturned in their quest to hold perpetrators to account.”

Many other crime categories experienced a decrease in the 12 months up to December 2021,

a trend seen across Victoria that Victoria Police’s Deputy Commissioner of Regional Operations Rick Nugent said is likely a result of the state’s lockdowns.

“While the highly unique environment in Victoria last year clearly contributed to the overall decrease in crime, it was incredibly positive to see a reduction in serious offences which impact the community such as home burglaries, robberies and car thefts,” he said.

“While each victim of crime is one person too many, we are pleased that last year we had the lowest number of victims in Victoria since 2010, with almost 14,500 fewer victims of crime than the year prior.

“While it is likely that overall crime will increase as the community returns to normality, the early signs are relatively positive. To date, we have not seen a rapid return across all crime categories, with police intelligence indicating overall offending still remains below pre-pandemic levels.”

In Latrobe, for the year ending December 2021, an overall 16.9 per cent decrease in Criminal Incidents was reported, with significant decreases in Property and Deception Offences.

ADVERTISE EMENT

RUSSELL NORTHE MLA Member for Morwell Please know my staff and I are here to assist you, your family, your organisation or business where we can. Whether it be in response to the COVID19 pandemic or an issue or idea relating to any State Government related matter please feel free todrop into our office at:-

A focus on notice ENERGY companies would have to give five years notice for generator closures under new rules being floated by the federal government.

Energy Minister Angus Taylor has written to the Australian Energy Market Commission to ask for a rule change to extend the notice period from three-and-a-half years to a minimum of five years.

The reform would ensure enough time to replace energy capacity that would be leaving the national energy market.

Mr Taylor said it was critical there would be a pipeline of projects that can be delivered to replace existing capacity, keep the system reliable, and keep power prices down.

“Without this rule change, there is a risk that retiring capacity is not replaced in time or is only able to be replaced with inadequate or inefficient options that are available in short timeframes, risking the reliability, affordability and security of the system,” Mr Taylor said.

The proposed new rule also includes a new definition of longer term mothballing within notice of closure arrangements.

A longer term mothballed plant will be defined as a generator that will be unable to dispatch for nine months or longer over a 12-month period.

These generators would be subject to the same notice period that applies to permanent closures, to avoid potential gaming where generators could mothball a plant indefinitely without providing any notice or date of an intended closure.

Timeline: Energy companies would have to give five years notice for generator closures under new rules being floated by the federal government. file photograph

Seasonal mothballing - defined as a generator not being available to dispatch electricity into the NEM for less than nine months over any 12 month period - would not be subject to notice of closure requirements.

The new rule would also prohibit speculative notices of closure when the generator has no actual intention to close the plant on the specified date.

“This rule is intended to prevent generators from engaging in behaviour that could create uncertainty in the market and act as a deterrent to new investment,” Mr Taylor said.

But Australian Energy Council chief executive officer Sarah McNamara said generators are already required to provide an indicative retirement date which is published by the market operator.

“Whilst they may look initially attractive, long firm notice requirements have complex and potentially counterproductive impacts,” Ms McNamara said.

“It should be recognised that generators, like any business operation, are subject to many unknowns and risks that such a rule cannot address.”

She said it might force a generator to publish a firm date long before the operational circumstances of the plant are clear.

“For example, plants may have physical failures or may be required to unexpectedly cease operations due to health and safety or environmental regulations,” she said.

Councillor’s misconduct finding Continued from page 1

“The exchange left her (Cr Lund) feeling unsafe and vulnerable, so much so that she requested all briefing meetings to be recorded moving forward,” the report stated.

Cr Lund told the panel she felt intimidated

by Cr Ferguson and described the behaviour at the August meeting as “a planned attack, with a barrage of planned accusations that were unwarranted.”

Latrobe City Council said in a statement that it had accepted the findings of the panel.

“The correct process was followed in strict accordance with the (Local Government) Act (2020) and the outcomes will be implemented,” chief executive officer Steven Piasente said.

Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said this incident offered the opportunity for some perspective in the roles and responsibilities of councillors.

“It is important that all councillors uphold

the standard of behaviour defined in our code of conduct that we have all agreed to maintain,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Our community has put a lot of trust in us, and as a council, to lead in a thoughtful, fair, safe and transparent way.

“I am confident that all councillors will work together effectively in the future and support Cr Ferguson.”

The report stated Cr Ferguson was not aware of the impact of her actions until the matter came before the panel.

She told the panel “(I) will try (my) best to move forward and develop good relationships with people”.

The panel said Cr Ferguson feels “unsure and unsafe, and believes her fellow councillors and Council Officers do not want to get to know her as a person”.

Cr Ferguson was directed by the panel to attend training around council procedures and policies.

Glenview Park Masterplan (right) pictured Traralgon Recreation Reserve & Showgrounds Masterplan

Have your say on Traralgon Masterplans Latrobe City Council is seeking feedback on plans to transform the Traralgon Recreation Reserve and Showgrounds (TRR&S) and Glenview Park precincts into flood-proof havens for sporting and community groups.

Council has developed masterplans to redevelop the TRR&S and create a new community and events hub at Glenview park. The plans follow severe storm and flood damage to facilities at TRR&S last June, with many buildings requiring demolition.

A new multi-use pavilion, pump track, walking paths, upgraded drainage, realignment of the Old Trafford Oval, second netball court, expanded car park, new playground and a range of other improvements are proposed for TRR&S. The Glenview Park plan involves developing a large outdoor events space north of the new greyhound racing track and building a new community hub with a purpose-built indoor sports stadium for roller derby and dodgeball.

The hub would house the Men’s Shed, Bridge Club and a number of existing user groups.

Upgrading the car park, building shared storage facilities, a new commercial kitchen and pavilion are also highlighted in the masterplan.

The master plans for both sites are now available for review on the Latrobe City website.

Council has pledged $2 million for the ‘Traralgon Flood Recovery Project’ - which would deliver a number of elements identified within these master plans – and is seeking state and federal funding support to reach the $10 million benchmark required to recover from the June 2021 flood event.

A look at the Gippsland, Monash race

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

Independent candidate for Monash Deb Leonard.

Labor candidate for Gippsland Jannette Langley.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester.

Federal Member for Monash Russell Broadbent. sitting member Russell Broadbent (Liberal) up against six contenders.

Mr Broadbent polled 57.36 per cent on a two-party preferred basis at the 2019 election, but all eyes are on what impact his vaccination stance during the coronavirus pandemic will have at the ballot box.

The 71-year-old took a ‘’personal decision’’ to not get vaccinated against COVID-19 and then used the equine drug Ivermectin when he contracted coronavirus in January.

Labor candidate Jessica O’Donnell is back for a second tilt at Canberra after running in 2019.

Labor candidate for Monash Jessica O’Donnell.

Ms O’Donnell garnered a primary vote of 29.51 per cent in 2019, which after preferences saw her finish with 42.64 per cent on two-party preferred.

The Voices for Monash group is behind the Independent candidate Deb Leonard, a lawyer from Phillip Island.

Ms Leonard has welcomed the announcement of the election date, saying that it finally gives people the chance to have their say at the ballot box.

“It’s time that we had a strong, independent candidate that will represent the communities of the Monash electorate,” she said.

! # " ! #

"

“I’m excited by the campaign over the next six weeks and look forward to meeting as many voters in that time to hear about the issues that are important to them.”

One Nation, which polled a 7.62 per cent primary vote in 2019, has a new candidate in Allan Hicken.

Christine McShane is representing the United Australia Party, which garnered 4.01 per cent in 2019.

The Greens’ hopes rest with Mat Morgan as they look to build on a 7.01 per cent primary vote in 2019.

Meg Edwards is the Liberal Democrats candidate.

LATROBE Valley voters will go to the polls on Saturday, May 21 after the Federal Election was called by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday.

Mr Morrison visited Governor-General David Hurley to dissolve the Parliament and launch the start of a 41-day campaign.

“This election is a choice between a strong economy and a Labor opposition that would weaken it,” he said.

“It’s a choice between an economic recovery that is leading the world and a Labor opposition that would weaken it and risk it.”

Labor needs to pick up eight votes on its current total of 68 to gain government and deliver a new Prime Minister in Anthony Albanese.

“I won’t go missing when the going gets tough,” Mr Albanese said on Sunday.

Polling has the Liberal-National Coalition as the outsider, with Roy Morgan showing a 57-43 gap in favour of Labor on a two-party preferred basis.

Latrobe Valley residents live in two Federal Electorates, Gippsland and Monash, both held by members of the Coalition.

Gippsland has been held by the National Party since 1922 and is one of the safest seats in the country.

Incumbent Darren Chester polled 66.67 per cent on a two-party preferred basis at the 2019 election.

Mr Chester, who has been in Federal Parliament since 2008, confirmed on Sunday he was ready for another election campaign.

“I want to use my experience as your local Member of Parliament to keep building a safer, stronger, fairer Gippsland, where everyone can get ahead,” Mr Chester said.

“I have a proven record of fighting for our region to deliver the services and infrastructure we need.

“By working with the community, I’ve been able to deliver record funding for large and small projects, major improvements to local services, bushfire recovery grants and given our region a strong voice on local and national issues.

“My plan is to keep working, to make our community the best place in regional Australia to live, work, visit and raise a family.

“I love Gippsland and I’m proud to have raised my family in our beautiful part of the world.

“We need to keep putting locals first, supporting one another, and building an even better Gippsland.”

As it stands, Mr Chester has three rivals during this election battle.

Traralgon resident Jannette Langley was pre-selected by Labor in December last year and knows she faces a task to build on a primary vote of 23.2 per cent attracted by Antoinette Holm at the 2019 election.

“This seat is a bit daunting as Darren Chester has held it for so long, but people in Gippsland are telling me they want a new ear to tell things to and a new voice from a united party,” Ms Langley said when she was announced as Labor’s contender.

Marjorie Thorpe will fly the flag for the Greens, which polled 6.04 per cent at the 2019 election.

“In Gippsland we need better access to better services like healthcare and education, and need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis,” Ms Thorpe said.

Rosedale’s Gregory Forster is the candidate for the United Australia Party, which polled 4.40 per cent in 2019 and is backed by billionaire Clive Palmer.

“It is time for representation in parliament by one of the people, for the people,” Mr Forster said.

“The United Australia Party (UAP) is focused on providing workable, long-term solutions.

“We want to keep our minerals and other natural resources in Australia, process them here and promote manufacturing here.”

Good eggs needed in the Valley to help boost blood supplies during Easter period

CONTACTS

LL Y AS R E A LIV ARE E D

AUSTRALIAN Red Cross Lifeblood urgently needs 120 Latrobe Valley locals to give blood this Easter long weekend.

People with O positive and O negative blood types are particularly needed to donate blood.

O negative is the universal blood type and can be given in emergency situations where a patient’s blood group is unknown and is often stocked on ambulances and rescue helicopters.

Just one trauma patient can need huge quantities of blood in a short amount of time, which is why it’s so important to have O negative blood on hand.

“Easter is traditionally a time when many of our donors take a well-deserved break, but this year is particularly difficult with two consecutive long weekends for Easter and Anzac Day,” Lifeblood spokesperson Sarah Lacey said.

“We are encouraging locals to give just an hour of their time over Easter and give the gift of life. Our donor centre teams are very egg-cited to be welcoming donors throughout the long weekend!”

BOOST

Ms Lacey also noted that the Omicron wave as well as tragic flooding in New South Wales and Queensland had hit Australia’s blood stocks hard.

“Not only has Omicron swept the country forcing people to quarantine and isolate, but we’ve also seen catastrophic flooding affecting many thousands of people and impacting their ability to donate blood,” she said.

“Blood will be needed by thousands of people every day this Easter weekend, including trauma and emergency patients, mums delivering babies, and people undergoing cancer treatment. If you can, please book a donation.”

A total of 120 local appointments still need to be filled this Easter with the Traralgon donor centre open on Easter Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.

To book a donation, visit lifeblood.com.au, download the free Donate Blood app or call 13 14 95.

Safety blitz at Lake Narracan a success FIFTEEN infringement notices were issued during a safety blitz involving local police and the Water Police Squad at Lake Narracan on March 26.

The majority of offences related to boat users failing to have sufficient water safety equipment on board, including life jackets, torches and fire extinguishers, and driving with unregistered and non-roadworthy boat trailers, with 13 infringement notices issued.

Two boat operators were issued with infringement notices for operating a vessel without a marine licence.

Police spoke with more than 40 boat and jet ski operators, intercepting 22 vessels and vehicles to ensure they were carrying the correct safety equipment and their marine licences current.

Ten preliminary breath tests were conducted with no offences detected.

Water police were returning to their Paynesville base at about 3pm when local police patrolling Blue Rock Lake contacted them about a boat in distress and its emergency distress flare had been deployed.

Water police with the assistance of the public helped tow the vessel back to shore.

The operator had dropped occupants for lunch on the shoreline where there was no road access and they were safely collected with the assistance of the SES. The man was issued with two infringement notices for operating a vessel without a marine licence and failing to have sufficient water safety equipment.

Upon his drive home, he was intercepted by local police and issued with another infringement notice for driving with an unregistered trailer.

“We’re aware there have been a number of ongoing concerns about the behaviour of some boat and jet ski operators in this area,” First Constable Rick Kamphuis, of Moe Police Station, said.

“Deployments like this are key in making sure people choosing to do the wrong thing know police are out enforcing the law.

“Police will continue to do all they can to keep the water safe and ask boat and jet ski operators to help us in achieving this aim.

“Nobody wants a day on the water ending in serious injury or worse.”

Over the past decade 60 people drowned in boating-related incidents in Victoria.

Fire on hydrogen ship

Students say bye bye to locks

AUSTRALIA’S national transport safety investigator is looking into a small fire on board a ship carrying hydrogen manufactured at the Latrobe Valley HESC plant that departed from the port of Hastings in January.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating a gas pressure control equipment malfunction on board the Japanese gas carrier Suiso Frontier loaded with liquefied hydrogen.

The ATSB reported that a flame was seen coming from the gas combustion unit’s exhaust on deck at about 9.45pm on January 25.

“The unit was immediately shutdown and isolated before the crew implemented the fire prevention response plan,” an ATSB report stated.

“No further abnormalities were reported and there were no injuries, damage or pollution.

“As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview relevant persons and obtain other evidence, including recorded data.”

The ATSB expects to publish a final report toward the end of the year, and will immediately notify operators and regulators of any safety issues identified during the investigation.

A HESC spokesperson said it was a minor incident.

“The flame on the ship was due to a mechanical failure of the solenoid valve and the system operated as designed and closed the damper. Basically, a safety device acted exactly as it was designed to do,” the spokesperson said.

“The event was not as disruptive as some news coverage might suggest. The Suiso Frontier arrived safely back in Kobe with no reported issues.”

BEANIES are sure to be out in force at Trafalgar High School this winter, after a number of students participated in World’s Greatest Shave.

Around a dozen students bravely took the plunge and had their heads shaved or hair cut for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Amazingly, students raised more than $4000 in their efforts.

The last day of Term 1 concluded with the clippers coming out at school assembly, as fellow students delighted in ridding their classmates of their luscious locks.

Year 12 student Harry Pace led the campaign, and said it had been great to see so many people across the year levels get involved.

“It was really good, last time we did it at school there was three and this year it was almost four times that … hopefully we go four times that next year,” he said.

“There was a few of us and our hair was getting a bit long so we decided we have to cut it off somehow and thought there was no better way to do it than to raise some money for a good cause.

“As part of the fundraising at school we had a crazy hair and casual clothes day and everyone put it on their Instagram and Facebook and things like that.”

For Harry, who had been two years without a trim, he even had his hair braided for the occasion.

The Trafalgar High School World’s Greatest Shave was indeed a whole school effort, as even teacher Daniel Born underwent the buzz cut.

Mr Born, who teaches maths, said he was feeling “half a kilo lighter” after the shave.

“Harry asked me last year while I was teaching maths methods, somewhat agreed to it, six months later here I am supporting the guys,” he said.

“Really, really, proud of their efforts.”

THE world’s best known basketball team is heading to Gippsland.

The Harlem Globetrotters have locked in a visit to Traralgon as part of their 13-stop Australian Tour in late June-early July.

The Globetrotters will bring their gravity defying, slam dunking and impossible shotmaking to the Gippsland Regional Sports Stadium on Thursday, May 7.

The Valley joins the likes of Adelaide, Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Hobart and the Gold Coast on the itinerary.

“We are so excited to bring the Harlem Globetrotters back to Australia for their Spread Game tour,” NBL commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said.

“It’s been three long years since they last toured Australia and we are sure basketball fans from across the nation will come out in droves to enjoy a world class night of family friendly entertainment.”

The Harlem Globetrotters have been entertaining audiences around the world for 96 years, playing more than 26,000 exhibition games in 124 countries.

Tickets are available at Ticketek.

Albert Street Primary stages a great Blokes Big Breakfast AFTER two long years, Albert Street Primary School (Moe) was finally able to bring back their Blokes Big Breakfast which was recently held on the school grounds.

This breakfast is a long held tradition at the school when our students invite dads, uncles, grandfathers, big brothers and carers to spend quality time before the commencement of the school day.

This year saw a significant increase in attendance, as more than 100 participants were served a breakfast of egg and bacon sandwiches, tea and coffee and fruit.

Students and the blokes spent time socialising, playing indoor games and table tennis.

Representatives from the Police, Fire Services, Moe Lions Football Club and Moe Rotary also attended to share this invaluable social event with our school community.

The breakfast was organised and catered by school staff, TheirCare (Out of School Hours Care) and members of the Albert St School Council.

Feedback from those who attended indicated that it was a positive experience to spend some quality time with their child and were grateful for the school’s

For many, coping with everyday life can lead to confusion, anxiety and isolation.

School families were welcome to donate towards this worthy cause and join the students and staff in a walk around the school, organised by the Junior School Council.

Altogether, a grand total of $1461 was raised to assist those on the autism spectrum to participate and thrive in the world around them.

THE staff at Morwell Central Primary School participated in ‘Walk for Autism’ where they enjoyed the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day for eight days, while raising funds to support people on the autism spectrum.

The daily total number of steps walked, was posted on the staff room wall and caused some friendly rivalry as each team clambered to reach the top of the leaderboard.

It is estimated that about one in 70 Australians live with autism.

Liddiard Road students benefit from good mail STUDENTS at Liddiard Road Primary School recently had a special visit from Australia Post postal manager Monica Bramley and Traralgon Delivery Centre delivery manager Brett Eddy recently.

The pair introduced the students to Moli det bigibigi (Molly the Pig), a bilingual story written in Kriol and English and authored by Binjari woman Karen Manbulloo.

The local community appearance and book reading aligns with the start of the United Nations’ Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) and was part of Australia Post’s ongoing support of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which has seen more than 190,000 books delivered to children in

more than 325 remote Indigenous communities since 2020.

Australia Post National Indigenous manager Barbara Sheehy said she was proud of the way the organisation’s community activities connect more Australians with First Nations culture.

“This joyous and fun book, written by Karen a proud Binjari woman and illustrated by the Binjari BukMob, complements the overall work we do towards reconciliation by connecting with others through language and storytelling,” Ms Sheehy said.

Mr Eddy went to the school on a postie bike to deliver the book and activity packs to students.

Region’s ‘risky’ alcohol consumption A HIGH proportion of people in Gippsland consume alcohol at risky levels compared to the rest of Victoria.

This was revealed in one of two issue papers, titled Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), released by the Gippsland Primary Health Network (Gippsland PHN) as part of addressing priority issues in the region.

A second paper, Sexual and Reproductive Health, identified that COVID-19 has impacted service provision in Gippsland with reductions in antenatal care and a change to more telehealth service delivery.

Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the organisation was committed to Population Health Planning as an ongoing core function.

“We gather data and information from many sources including the local community and health professionals to identify the unique health priorities of our region,” Ms Proposch said.

“The purpose is to make informed decisions about the best way to achieve our vision of a measurably healthier Gippsland.”

The AOD priority issues paper showed a high rate of ambulance attendances in Gippsland are related to alcohol and drugs.

Latrobe City has the highest call-outs for alcohol intoxication and illicit and pharmaceutical drug use with 674, 465 and 367 attendances respectively (rates per 100,000 population).

The main needs identified by people with lived experience include improved availability of services both in acute care and follow-up support.

People also identified barriers to access are more significant for Indigenous people, older people and geographically or socially isolated people.

The paper on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) identified that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted on service provision with access to affordable abortion services more difficult and delays in accessing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) testing, contraception and cervical cancer screening.

From a community perspective the paper identified stigma, discrimination and racism as the main barriers for seeking information, support and referral for SRH while clinicians are not always willing or confident in providing patients with SRH information.

Issue: A high proportion of people in Gippsland consume alcohol at risky levels compared to the rest of Victoria.

Chlamydia was identified as the most common STI in Gippsland with the highest rates in Baw Baw with 28.1 notifications per 10,000 females compared with the Victorian average of 18.5 and 17.3 notifications per 10,000 males

compared to 16.8 for Victoria. People aged 15 to 29 years account for around 80 per cent of notifications while modelling suggests that 77 per cent of chlamydia cases remain undiagnosed.

Plenty of orange on Harmony Day

By ELIZABETH DAVIDSON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S GROUP SECRETARY

Harmony Day: Member for Morwell Russell Northe with members of the International Women’s Group.

We look forward to being able to do so again next year and remind the community that you do not have to be a member to join us in the celebration of cultural diversity in the Latrobe Valley.

The International Women’s Group was formed on International Women’s Day, March 8, 1996 and is made up of women from at least 20 different cultural backgrounds who enjoy getting together to socialise and to share their experiences and their individual cultures.

The International Women’s Group is a volunteer run community group that operates as a social and support network for all women in Latrobe. It provides a safe forum for women to discuss issues and to learn where to get appropriate support. Thank you to our volunteer committee who made the day run so smoothly.

The International Women’s Group would like to take the opportunity to thank their sponsors of this event; the Latrobe City Council and the Victorian Multicultural Commission without whose financial support, the day would not have been possible.

Thank you: International Women’s Group president Soula Kanellopoulos and Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan.

THE International Women’s Group celebrated Harmony Day with a return to pre-COVID joy, on Sunday, April 3 at the Greek Hall, Elgin Street, Morwell.

It was wonderful to be able to celebrate after years of lockdown restrictions.

The Greek Hall was a sea of orange, the national colour of Diversity Week.

Some members also took the opportunity to wear their traditional costumes and there were smiles all round. Attendees ranged in age from 10 months to 103 years old.

The celebration was opened by Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan, who spoke about the many benefits that cultural diversity has brought to Latrobe City and its environs and who officially recognised the work done by the International Women’s Group in promoting cross-cultural harmony.

She was joined by Councillor Sharon Gibson.

Russell Northe, Independent PM for Morwell and long-time supporter of the Group also called in to join in the festivities and spoke warmly in support of multiculturalism.

It is wonderful to know that the efforts of the International Women’s Group continue to be supported by our local members of parliament, council and service providers.

Entertainment was provided by Lyn William’s Tap Dancers, members of the Linda Pink Line-Dance Troupe as well as the acoustic guitar and singing duo, Barry and Sera.

Everyone was invited to join the singing and to tap along even though we were not able to join in the dancing.

Catering was provided by the local Greek community as well as Amaline Tachdjian, a volunteer member of the International Women’s Group.

Grateful thanks to Moe Fruit Market who provided fresh fruit for afternoon tea as well a lovely fresh fruit basket for our raffle.

Every year, as part of Cultural Diversity Week, the International Women’s Group celebrates Harmony Day. This is an opportunity to highlight multicultural talent and harmony in the Latrobe City.

Your motto for the moment is from Aries birthday great, actress and feminist Emma Watson: “All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.”

Taurus Are you stuck in a rut? Have you

been too stubborn to embrace change? This week’s Full Moon shakes up your daily routine zone and injects new energy and enthusiasm into your life. But make sure your plans are rooted in reality. At the moment you’re extra susceptible to suggestion – and flattery – so be discerning about who’s advice you take.

Don’t let fair-weather friends lead you up the primrose path to trouble. Choose your confidantes wisely.

conjunction lighting up your career zone, confidence and creativity will take you far at work. Saturday night’s Full Moon stimulates your friendship zones. So those around you can look forward to some amusing antics and manic moments from you and your peer group pals. Reading and relaxing are also highlighted.

Your motto is from Emma Watson (who turns 32 on Friday): “My greatest relaxation is to sit with a book.”

Libra This week’s Full Moon is in your sign,

so do your best to be fair and balanced, as you appreciate differing viewpoints. Is your love life stuck on autopilot? It’s time to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle.

Singles – are you fed up with dating disasters?

Steer clear of flirtatious charmers with frivolous values and dubious motives. On the weekend, flowers, food, fashion, personal pampering and a touch of luxury are favoured.

Scorpio p The Easter Full Moon favours meditattion, contemplation, prayer and investigation as you solve a problem or get to the bottom of a perplexing mystery. However, if you are a stubborn Scorpio who hangs onto the past and resists change, you’re in for a rocky ride. You need to be more flexible and adapt to constantly changing circumstances.

Creativity and spirituality are also highlighted, as you express your inner muse and/or take up meditation, yoga, philosophy or a new religion.

Cancer Crabs are the natural nurturers of the zodiac. But looking after a loved one won’t be easy, as you juggle your personal and professional lives.

Be inspired by Aries birthday great William Morris: “Have nothingg in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

Capricorn p The positive Sun/Saturn link encourages sensible ideas and sound judgement. Saturday night’s Full Moon activates your career zone, so it’s a good time to bring a challenging professional project to a successful completion.

My Valley, My Home secures Latrobe City Council Community Recognition Award

MY Valley, My Home received a Latrobe City Council Australia Day Community Recognition Award during the recent award ceremony at the Gippsland Regional Performing Arts Centre.

Presented by Mayor Cr Kellie O’Callaghan, the award was accepted by choir manager Tineke Thijs Westwood and acknowledges the extraordinary community effort made to come together virtually during a difficult time.

“A wonderful recognition of such a beautiful and emotional connection for the Latrobe Valley community at a time that we needed it the most – during lockdown. Congratulations to you all,” Latrobe Health Assembly chair Tanya Rong said.

The My Valley, My Home project was a collaboration between the Latrobe Health Assembly, Play It Forward, and the Latrobe Valley Community Choir.

The initiative brought together a virtual choir to rehearse and record a music video to accompany the world premiere of Jonathon Welch AM’s original song My Valley, My Home.

The project sought to bolster local pride and provide opportunities for social connection during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

My Valley, My Home engaged over 270 Latrobe Valley residents to create the music video which was launched in November 2020 and now has more than 20,000 views on social media.

Feedback from the choir members showed that the majority felt that the project made them feel more socially connected during the lockdown period, and that they felt proud when they saw the video online.

MRIs to become more accessible FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has welcomed the announcement of the deregulation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Licensing as part of the Federal Budget.

Mr Chester said the deregulation would allow clinics and providers to deliver Medicare-subsidised MRI services in Gippsland.

“The cost of MRIs can leave patients out of pocket hundreds of dollars and hinder timely diagnosis and treatment,” Mr Chester said.

“From November this year patients will now be able to access affordable and timely treatment in Gippsland.

“This reform is designed to improve accessibility for Gippslanders so it is essential that the services are affordable for locals.”

Training benefits to flow from donation

by Gippsland Water

TAFE Gippsland Plumbing apprentices are benefitting thanks to an equipment donation from local water authority Gippsland Water.

Gippsland Water donated specialised water isolation valves for TAFE Gippsland apprentices to use in their 2022 training at Morwell campus.

John McKenzie, a plumbing teacher at TAFE Gippsland’s new Morwell Trade Skills Centre, brought the initiative to Building Trades Program manager Julie Beckley earlier this year.

He said the donation will benefit TAFE Gippsland with an estimated saving of around $2700 to $3000.

“We’re grateful to Gippsland Water for donating these Specialised Valves for training our apprentices in the installation, servicing and operational requirements of Sluice valves for the control of high-pressure main supply water flow,” Mr McKenzie explained.

“Gippsland Water has been a terrific supporter of TAFE Gippsland for many, many years and we appreciate their support and interest in local trade training.”

Gippsland Water managing director Sarah Cumming said supporting local young people to access practical skills-based training was a key part of its employment pathways program.

“This is just one of the initiatives we have in place to help local people develop meaningful and rewarding careers right here in Gippsland,” Ms Cumming said.

“By donating equipment and sharing our expertise with local schools and training centres, we’re helping students gain hands-on experience and improving their prospects of employment in their chosen field at the end of their course.

“We know that the majority of students who learn locally, go on to live and work locally, and we’re keen to support them where we can.”

Mr McKenzie visited Gippsland Water recently to take receipt of the donated valves from Gippsland Water representatives, Major Systems and Gippsland Water Factory manager Shane Hutchinson and Stores issuing officer Graham Harvey.

Downie’s Bridge nearing completion

WORK to upgrade Downies Bridge in Traralgon South is well underway.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the replacement of the timber bridge was funded through the federal government’s Bridges Renewal Program.

“The timber bridge was no longer fit for purpose and needed to be replaced to ensure the track remained useable for local residents and farmers,” Mr Chester said.

“After facing delays due to inclement weather the new concrete bridge structure has been installed and surrounding civil works are approaching completion.”

Funding boost for triumvirate of local councils

Respect at Mitchell House MITCHELL House in Morwell is the latest standalone aged care provider to join Respect’s portfolio of aged care facilities.

The amalgamation of Mitchell House is the 15th site to join the aged care provider and accompanies the ranks of Respect’s six other facilities in Victoria including St John’s in Wangaratta, Tongala Memorial, Cohuna Village and Alcheringa in Swan Hill.

Due to the increasingly complex, competitive and challenging aged care environment, the board of Mitchell House has decided on the transfer to ensure the residential facility, including the Mitchell House Hostel and Independent Living Units, has the opportunity to thrive under a larger, specialist aged care organisation.

Mitchell House board chair Dave Swainsbury cited Aged Care Royal Commission recommendations, departmental reforms, and current market forces as contributing factors to Mitchell House’s need for support in governance and streamlining processes.

“The board and management of Mitchell House fully support the transfer to Respect who has a strong reputation for compassion and significant

THREE Gippsland councils will share in $7.7 million in additional federal government funding to undertake local priority projects.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the government is supporting Australia’s economic recovery by funding local initiative projects with the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

In this round of funding, Wellington Shire Council will receive $3.1 million, East Gippsland Shire Council $2.9 million and Latrobe City Council $1.7 million.

“The federal government has again demonstrated its commitment to local government with a further round of this important program which has already delivered a wide range of projects,” Mr Chester said.

“The LRCI Program supports local councils to deliver priority local road and community infrastructure projects across Australia, supporting jobs and the resilience of local economies to help communities bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As an economic stimulus measure, the intent is to fund road and community infrastructure projects, including maintenance, which would otherwise not be possible.

“This program continues to assist every local government in Australia to deliver priority local projects, supporting an estimated 9000 jobs across Australia over the life of the program, and local business across the nation.”

Mr Chester said he would work closely with councils and local communities to identify suitable projects over the next 12 months.

“We’ve already seen things like pump tracks, hall upgrades, roadworks and playgrounds constructed under this program and I will be listening to the ideas of locals and passing them onto councils,” Mr Chester said.

experience in delivering quality care in rural and regional areas. Being part of a larger organisation with greater capacity to invest in systems, staffing, and facilities will mean stronger aged care services for Morwell and its surrounding regions,” he said.

“The numerous Royal Commission recommendations have significantly increased compliance costs and expectations and as a stand-alone, independent and small aged-care service it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet operational requirements which has hindered our ability to keep up with the ever changing industry environment.

“We believe that a larger scale organisation like Respect can bring the support and funding necessary to continue the excellent quality of care that we provide to the Morwell community through Mitchell House. This is coupled with Respect’s expertise and understanding of rural and regional communities and aged care facilities.”

“The change will not adversely impact the residents who live at Mitchell House. Our number one priority is to ensure our residents continue to receive the highest quality care in the best possible accommodation, and our next highest priority is that our staff continue to be treated well.”

Respect managing director Jason Binder spoke of the new opportunities available to Mitchell House under the Respect banner.

“The reality of the aged care industry at this point in time is that smaller, independent facilities are struggling to stay on top of the changing quality standards and requirements placed on them since the Aged Care Royal Commission,” he said.

“As a large provider of aged care facilities we have the resources and the expertise to survive the industry pressures whilst retaining the community goodwill of regional aged care organisations, which is a significant factor in any of these situations.

“We’re excited at the prospect of Mitchell House joining Respect and look forward to providing the systems, support and funding needed to ensure residents and staff at Mitchell House continue to thrive.

“Our mission has always been to care for the elderly in our communities in an environment of respect, value and belonging, and we are looking forward to building on and extending this philosophy of compassionate care at Mitchell House.”

TAFE Gippsland’s director of Educational Delivery Linda Austin, welcomed the return of IT training and the partnership with Aussie Broadband to support students enrolling in the vocational training course.

“I am delighted that for the first time in nearly a decade, TAFE Gippsland is offering accredited training in an Information Technology discipline and we’re encouraging students to enrol today,” Ms Austin said.

“This is a Free TAFE course offered face-to-face with one day online, and it focuses on customer service, web development, programming and editing computer software, with graduates very likely to be highly valued and sought after by employers.”

Ms Austin said the institute was very fortunate to have a partner to support this vocational training stream.

“This year we are thrilled to partner with Aussie Broadband and we value their industry expertise and their commitment to IT in Gippsland in encouraging the next generation of IT practitioners,” Ms Austin said.

Aussie Broadband’s Learning and Development manager Claire Morrissey said the organisation was excited about their role in partnering TAFE Gippsland.

“As a Morwell-founded and based tech company, Aussie Broadband has been campaigning to bring certificate-level IT courses back to the Gippsland region for several years,” Ms Morrissey said.

“We’re also excited to continue partnering with TAFE Gippsland as they expand their IT offerings, and help IT students ‘see what they can be’.”

Ms Morrissey said graduates of these courses, “are valuable not just to tech companies like Aussie Broadband, but across a whole range of industries”.

“We’re thrilled that TAFE Gippsland is starting this journey with their Cert III in IT and, in our increasingly digital world, IT literacy has never been more important across Gippsland and right across the national and international digital learning environment.”

So, if you’re a budding IT professional interested in forging a career that offers numerous job opportunities, competitive salaries, work-life balance and more?

The first step in your exciting journey begins with TAFE Gippsland’s Certificate III in Information Technology.

Valley youth asked to take part in survey MISSION Australia’s Youth Survey 2022 is now open and young people aged 15-19 in Latrobe Valley are invited to take part.

The survey has been running for over two decades and is the largest of its kind.

Young people can provide insights into their challenges, concerns, experiences and barriers to achieving their goals.

The survey is a chance for young people to share their perspective on range of key issues like COVID-19 impacts and economic and societal issues such as climate change, housing insecurity, work and study barriers and mental health concerns.

Mission Australia’s state director Nada Nasser said young people have been faced with challenges never encountered by previous generations

and emphasised the importance of providing a platform for them.

“We know from our Youth Survey that young people are extremely resilient and they care about their futures, as well as the people and world around them. We also know that they’re experiencing unique challenges, such as high levels of psychological distress and are less happy than they were just two years ago,” she said.

“Young people are also navigating the everevolving pressures of things like social media and the global pandemic, both which obviously didn’t exist when we started this survey over two decades ago.

“Teenagers have borne the brunt of the economic and psychological consequences of the pandemic and they must be included in planning and decision-making that affect them, their peers,

families, communities and Australia. That’s why we continue to prioritise creating space through our Youth Survey for young people to share their thoughts and concerns.

“Results are provided to government and nongovernment organisations to inform design and delivery of policies, initiatives and services that impact young people’s lives.”

Last year, Mission Australia’s Youth Survey 2021 was completed by more than 4601 young people in Victoria between April and August.

COVID-19 (48.3 per cent), the environment (43.0 per cent), equity and discrimination (37.2 per cent) and mental health (37.2 per cent) topped the key issues in 2021 that young people feel Australia must address.

The top three areas Victorian young people identified as being negatively impacted by

COVID-19 were participation in activities (78.4 per cent), education (77.7 per cent) and mental health (68.9 per cent).

A notably higher proportion of Victorian females identified their mental health was negatively impacted by COVID-19 (76.3 per cent compared with 54.8 per cent of males).

The survey takes 20 minutes to complete.

Young people can record their responses online, either through arrangements with participating schools or groups or individually through Mission Australia’s website.

Mission Australia’s Youth Survey 2022 is open until August 12 to all young people aged 15-19 years-old who are living in Australia.

To take part in the survey, visit www.missionaustralia.com.au/youthsurvey.

“I’m excited to be able to continue my journey now as a permanent and fully-qualified member of the Yallourn team.”

As well as EnergyAustralia’s trainee and apprenticeship programs, major maintenance programs using local suppliers and workers will also continue up until Yallourn’s retirement.

Three unsung heroes earn recognition

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

GIPPSLAND volunteers were celebrated at the Traralgon Centre Plaza (TCP) Volunteer of the Month Awards late last month.

Award recipients for October, November and December 2021 were announced during a morning tea at Café Evviva in TCP. The three volunteers, those people who nominated them and a TRFM representative attended the festivities.

The awards recognise some of Gippsland’s “unsung heroes”, and are a partnership between TCP and TRFM/Gippsland’s Gold.

The October 2021 winner was Faye Baldwin.

Ms Baldwin was recognised for her work at the Traralgon Ambulance Auxiliary, and other charitable organisations.

Ms Baldwin was nominated by Melanie Tunks from Ambulance Victoria (AV).

Ms Tunks has been at the AV Traralgon branch for as long as Ms Baldwin has been volunteering.

“I wanted to make sure she knows how much she is appreciated,” Ms Tunks explained.

“Everyone loves her ... and we really do appreciate everything the auxiliary do.”

Ms Baldwin has been involved in volunteering with schools and sporting clubs for more than 44 years. She has been a dedicated member of the Traralgon Ambulance Auxiliary for 10 years.

When she found out she had won the award she “got a shock”.

Ms Baldwin said she doesn’t volunteer for recognition.

“I do it because I want to do it,” she said.

The November 2021 winner was Laurel Austin.

Ms Austin started at the Longford Lions in Sale 15 years ago.

Since then she opened an Opportunity Shop in the Lions’ name and volunteered for the organisation six days a week.

She was nominated by Keeley Barakat, who said she felt the dedicated Lions volunteer “deserved some recognition” for her efforts.

Ms Austin said winning the award was nice, but said she felt it was not just for her, but all the volunteers she works with.

“I think it’s nice on behalf of all the volunteers, it’s not just an individual award for me,” she said.

Mark Bermingham was the winner for December 2021.

Deserved accolade: Mark Bermingham, Faye Baldwin and Laurel Austin with their Volunteers of the Month awards.

He is a well-known figure at the Glengarry Recreation Reserve, Glengarry Football Club, and the Glengarry Cricket Club.

Mr Bermingham was one of the original Glengarry football players back in the 1960s for the Under-14 side, and has since then dedicated much of his time to local sport and recreation.

He has volunteered as the Rec Reserve’s treasurer for almost 30 years, and was the secretary for a

period of time as well. He was nominated by current secretary Sue Little.

TCP marketing manager Adele Nardino said selecting the winners for the last quarter of 2021 was not an easy task because there were so many amazing volunteers put forward for the awards.

“Lots of great people do some wonderful things in the community,” she said.

Ms Nardino said the awards recognise not only

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

people in Latrobe Valley, but volunteers across the Gippsland region.

Each winner of volunteer of the month is awarded $500 cash, and a charity of the volunteer’s choice receives $500.

Additionally, the person who nominated the volunteer receives $250.

That time of the year for flu shots THE Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is urging Australians to prepare for a potential resurgence of influenza (flu) and get vaccinated early.

The pandemic has led to decreased exposure to the influenza virus and lower influenza vaccine coverage compared to previous years.

But with an end to lockdowns and state and international borders reopening, a resurgence of influenza is expected in 2022, prompting warnings of a potentially monster flu season ahead.

Annual vaccination should ideally occur before

the onset of each influenza season, which usually occurs from June to September in most parts of Australia.

The influenza vaccination program will commence in April, providing protection before the peak of the expected season.

The annual influenza vaccine is recommended for everyone aged six months or older.

It’s free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for children aged six months to five years and adults 65 years and over, as well as pregnant women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander people, and people with certain medical conditions.

RACGP president Professor Karen Price urged Australians to prepare for the influenza season.

“GPs are concerned about this year’s flu season because Australians haven’t been exposed to the virus for the past two years like we were in the years before the pandemic,” she said.

“Children born since the start of the pandemic are likely to have had no exposure to the influenza virus in their lifetime, meaning it’s now more important than ever to ensure they are protected.

“Flu is something to be taken seriously – in 2019, just before the pandemic, there were 953 influenza related deaths in Australia.

“And we are already starting to see cases in some parts of the country.

“Australia has among the highest vaccination rates in the world. And our response to COVID shows prevention really is much better than cure; our high COVID vaccination rates are why we’ve done so well. Now it’s time to protect yourself against influenza, it’s another jab for sure, but it’s a win for you and your community.”

Hard waste removal starts soon so book yours now LATROBE City Council’s twice-yearly booked hard waste collection is set to start on Monday, May 2.

Latrobe City residents can book this service and place up to two cubic metres of household hard waste from their property on their nature strip for collection.

Home owners who place waste on their nature strip without booking will not have their waste collected and may face fines for illegal dumping.

Bookings must be completed by close of business on Friday, April 15 ahead of the May 2 start date for collections.

“This booked hard waste collection comes at a great time following a series of lockdowns as people may have accumulated some unwanted extras around the house,” Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said.

Residents of Latrobe City receive coupons with their rates notices that permit up to a two cubic metre pile of acceptable items to be collected from their nature strip without any contact with the collection crew.

Acceptable items include couches, mattresses, tables, chairs, exercise equipment, bedside tables, tall boys, rugs, mats, cork tiles, TV cabinets, coffee tables (glass removed), dining tables, outdoor furniture, computer desks, curtains, blinds and fittings, luggage, toys, floating floors, vinyl, carpets and underlay (maximum 30cm diameter x 1.5m long), cane furniture and lamps.

All residents must book via the Latrobe City Contact Centre by phoning 1300 367 700 or via the Latrobe City Facebook page using the hard waste coupons distributed through the property rates notices.

People living in rental properties must contact their landlord or real estate agent for coupons.

Transfer stations continue to operate as per normal operating hours.

Latrobe City Transfer Stations remain open for those without coupons or who have more than two cubic metres of acceptable items.

Public toilets aren’t your usual ‘must see’ but that recently changed in Tanjil Bren thanks to Baw Baw Shire Council’s Public Art Fund, and a contribution of $20,000 towards the commissioning of the mural project - which has transformed the public toilet facilities from drab to fab.

In October 2021, council put out a call to local residents, community groups and artists to express their interest in commissioning a public art mural.

Those wishing to submit an application were asked to include a concept sketch of the artwork, the proposed location and artist, the project budget – and an explanation of how the mural would tie into the location and its surroundings.

More than a dozen applications ranging from small communities, through to larger towns were submitted to council.

Following an assessment against the selection criteria, Baw Baw Shire Council’s Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee narrowed the submissions down to two.

These two finalists were then invited to present in person to the Committee, where the successful submission was chosen.

The Tanjil Bren Water Co-operative was successfully awarded funding for their proposal with the toilet block facilities providing a large, unobstructed canvas upon the entryway to both the Tanjil Bren Village and the gateway to Mt Baw Baw.

Outstanding: Part of the new mural.

“There’s been talk in the community for over a decade about having an art mural within the Tanjil Bren area,” co-op member Rachel Goldsworthy said.

“We are a community that loves art, and we wanted every cent of the grant money to go into the mural to make it as good as possible.

“To achieve the goal of getting a mural done, and to this quality, has without a doubt been made entirely possible thanks to Council’s Public Art Fund.

“The other thing that is really important is the utter trust that Baw Baw Shire Council put in us throughout it all. We’d never done something like this before so that is a pretty enormous bit of trust that’s come in to make sure that the funding was put to the best use.”

Artist Daniel Wenn from 90 Degrees Art, provided three carefully considered concept ideas to the Tanjil Bren locals, who were then given

the opportunity to vote for the preferred concept through the Tanjil Bren Locals Facebook Group.

The concept behind the chosen design was to showcase the flora and fauna of Tanjil Bren through a bright and colourful mural.

Set against a lush background of trees, ferns, branches and leaves, the mural titled ‘EyeSpy’ features a beautiful Boobook Owl, a male Fairywren, a Lyrebird, an Eastern Yellow Robin and a Leadbeater’s Possum – all of which are protected local species.

The mural was officially opened with a local community celebration on Saturday, April 2.

Baw Baw Shire Mayor Michael Leaney said it was a significant moment for the community.

“The community of Tanjil Bren was cut off from the Mt Baw Baw Tourist Road for five months in 2021 as a result of significant storm damage, so this is great boost for an embattled community looking for recovery,” Cr Leaney said.

“This project was a wonderful initiative to transform an otherwise ordinary looking 1980s brown brick toilet block.

“The community have done such a great job steering this project and the artist, Dan from 90 Degrees Art, has done an amazing job in bringing the idea to life with bursts of colour and beauty.

“It is truly eye-catching and a fantastic gateway into Tanjil Bren and Mt Baw Baw.” Alongside the mural, Baw Baw Shire Council has repainted the wooden facia on the toilet entry, installed signage listing the flora and fauna featured on the mural, and a new toilet sign which is positioned in the carpark.

Tug of War a popular part of Athletics Carnival ST Paul’s Anglican Grammar Junior School students were fortunate to have great weather for their Junior School Athletics Carnival recently.

Held at Harold Preston Park in Traralgon, the students competed in a variety of track and field events, with all students encouraging one another and displaying admirable sportsmanship throughout the day.

The houses were in a tight race, with Navy

House reaching 1113 points, narrowly eclipsing Gold House who placed in second with 1094 points.

The physical activity was beneficial to the students’ health and wellbeing, but which event was the most contested of all?

The friendly match of Tug of War of course, where students put in 100 per cent for their house to try and bring the rope to their side, with grins on their faces and many laughs shared.

Effort: Giving it her all was St Paul’s student Georgia for Navy House.

Fun: St Paul’s student Ava during the Junior School Athletics Carnival.

Contest: St Paul’s student Lachlan competing for Burgundy House.

All smiles: St Paul’s student Relic working hard for Navy House.

Education Department Gippsland Region marks its 50th anniversary THIS year Victoria is celebrating the 150th anniversary of state education with a series of events and exhibitions featuring the work of schools and the Department of Education over that time.

And 2022 is also the 50th anniversary of the department’s moves to decentralise its administration with the establishment of three-pilot regional offices, one in Moe and the others in Ballarat and Bendigo.

Moe/Newborough residents would know the Education Department building which has sat prominently on the corner of Haigh and Kirk streets in Moe since it was opened in 1978.

On Saturday, March 26, about 100 current and former Gippsland staff gathered at the Moe Office to catch up with old friends and colleagues and to celebrate the anniversary.

In 1983, then Education Minister Robert Fordham renamed it the Len Falk Building, to honour the esteemed initial Gippsland regional director, Len Falk, a Newborough resident, who had passed away the previous year.

As part of the formal ceremony, John Russell, who still works in the Department’s central office in Melbourne, but was a Technical Schools Curriculum consultant on the Gippsland staff in 1973, talked about the early years of the Gippsland Region and the Moe office.

Ian Burrage, the current regional director of South East Victoria gave the keynote address referencing the comments of the Education Minister in 1972, Lindsay Thompson, about the importance of decentralising the Department and the steps the state government was taking to achieve this.

Students from Lowanna College in Moe had prepared a 50th anniversary cake, and the event concluded with a formal cutting of the cake by Doreen Falk, Len Falk’s widow, who attended with her four daughters.

Above: Ian Burrage, regional director of South East Victoria, addressing the 50th anniversary event on the front steps of the Moe Office.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm

Combining the winning ingredients of 2020’s Back to Win with the classic MasterChef recipe, this Fans & Favourites season is set to satisfy even the fussiest diner. For the hit show’s 14th iteration, 12 past contestants and fan favourites – among them series winners Julie Goodwin, Sashi Cheliah and Billie McKay – will be challenged by 12 fresh-faced foodies, including a TikTok star, a dentist, a firefighter and a banking analyst. The fancy fare served up on the series has evolved considerably since inaugural winner Goodwin lifted the trophy in 2009 – how will her classic cuisine measure up against a new generation of chefs for whom cooking with hibachi grills, sous vide and liquid nitrogen is second nature?

Power, money and privilege. Oh, and a beautiful white mansion sitting gloriously atop seaside cliffs.

Sometimes, you just need one element to grab your attention, and you can forgive the other distractions. Such is the case in this over-the-top thriller slash mystery slash whodunnit: the setting in a rugged, Irish seaside town is just as stormy and unpredictable as its characters. Enter the lives of the dysfunctional Ahern clan and their matriarch Val (Dervla Kirwan, pictured), if location is your thing.

This week, when Val finds “liar” written in lipstick on her mirror, she wisely believes someone is after her.

If you like your crusty bread with a side of wayward bullets, this devilish food doco series might be right up your alley. Premiering tonight, each one-hour episode delves into a true story intersecting an American city’s renowned cuisine with the underbelly of the crime world. The deliciously dark series is narrated by Two and a Half Men’s Jon Cryer (pictured), and includes such tantalisingly titled episodes as “The Codfather” and “The Fast Food Killer”. This week, in “A Slice of Pie”, there’s a fine line between cooks and criminals. When a pizzeria’s secret family recipe is stolen, the mafia serves up some time-honoured retribution.

Any building project undertaken over the last few years has surely felt like a Grand Designs episode for the homeowners behind the plans, with time and cost blowouts aplenty.

However, they pale in comparison when it comes to the Huxham Shard House, an ambitious and futuristic art installation of a home overlooking a picturesque valley in South Devon.

Inspired by rocks that feature in the local countryside, property developer Joe and his wife Claire are building a residence with 34 enormous, angled zinc shards jutting out in all directions.

The mind-boggling delays and budget woes even surprise veteran host Kevin McCloud (pictured).

Back for seconds: MasterChef Australia’s first-ever winner Julie Goodwin returns to compete against a new generation of foodies.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS community groups agreed they were opposed to pylons in the Victorian land sector of the Basslink proposal.

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.

APPRENTICE CARPENTER FOR A DAY

Labor MHR for McMillan Christian Zahra changed jobs for a day on Friday when he worked as an apprentice carpenter with Gippsland Group Training.

It was part of a Labor initiative to ‘‘get back to the people’’ and also to celebrate youth week.

“I come from a family of carpenters,” Mr Zahra said.

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1972

JOB REASSURANCE BY SEC HEAD

Widespread rumours of dismissal of Latrobe Valley men because of redundancy were on Friday completely dismissed by Bob White, chairman of the SEC of Victoria.

“The SEC does not plan to retrench employees in the Latrobe Valley,” Mr White told the press conference held after his meeting with officers of the SEC at Morwell and Yallourn.

Mr White said that modern technology had made some jobs redundant, “but a man whose job disappears will not be thrown out of work.

We will place him elsewhere in the complex.

We’re not in the business of sacking men.”

TRAFALGAR BY THREE POINTS

In a game of contrasting styles, Trafalgar defeated Maryvale by three points in the opening game of Mid Gippsland football last Saturday.

Greg Lincoln kicked four goals as the Bloods prevailed 11.10 (76) to 10.13 (73).

The round’s other winners were Mirboo North, Hazelwood-Churchill, Yinnar and Hill End. FUN FACT: Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway starred in The Thomas Crown Affair, which was screening at the Panoramic Drive-In in Morwell.

40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1982

‘FAST DEAL’ CAUSE OF COAL HUSH-UP

Pressure from the Ministerial Council for a quick package deal on the western coalfield development forced the SEC to plan the Andersons Creek overburden dump in secret.

That was the message dragged out of SEC assistant general manager Jack Johnson, by an often hostile crowd at last week’s public meeting in Yallourn North.

Speakers demanded to know why the Andersons Creek overburden dump had suddenly been given Governor-in-Council approval before local people had the chance to debate the proposal.

LOOKS LIKE LABOR

The Labor Party is ‘‘odds-on’’ to take the Legislative Council of Gippsland Province from the Liberal Party.

And that is the view of the man in the ‘‘hot seat’’, sitting Liberal member Jim Taylor.

Mr Taylor said he was not conceding defeat until the last preference votes had been counted, but postal and absentee votes had been running against him as were preferences from the Independent Mr Ingle and the Australian Democrat Mr Gilbert.

FINAL QUARTER BLITZ NEARLY TOSSES MAROONS

A very large crowd ($1100 gate) was at the Traralgon Showgrounds on Saturday to witness the clash between traditional rivals Morwell and Traralgon.

For three quarters, the game was dominated by the Maroons, but the Tigers stormed home with a seven-goal final term and, in a thrilling finish, Traralgon hung on to win by two points - 9.20 (74) to 11.6 (72).

FUN FACT: A Pulsar Quartz watch with gold-plated chronograph and dual counter was on sale with Jephcotts the Jewellers for $55.

DISEASE TESTING FOR THORPY SPUD FIELDS

10 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012

TRARALGON HOLD OFF GALLANT MAFFRA

The Latrobe Valley will move quickly to capitalise on its advantage over other regions after being announced as part of the National Broadband Network’s three-year plan.

Gippsland’s regional leaders this week claimed the Valley could establish an edge over regions not yet scheduled in the federal government’s NBN roll-out schedule by promoting its status as an ‘‘early release site’’.

Last month it was announced Traralgon, Morwell and Churchill would be among the first towns in Gippsland with internet connection speeds of up to 100 megabyte per second.

Thorpdale’s potato fields will undergo intensive testing for the potato disease, potato cyst nematode, over the next month.

Local farmers were informed of the testing following a public meeting in Thorpdale last week.

Already statewide testing has shown nine farms in three regions have the disease.

Traralgon started their campaign for three consecutive premierships by taking out an exciting nine point win over Maffra in Latrobe Valley football on Saturday.

Many people considered Geoff Cunningham was the best man on the ground and his five goals were very handy in the 14.13 (97) to 13.10 (88) success.

In other games, Leongatha defeated Moe by 79 points, six goals from Gary Hawker highlighted Sale’s 36-point victory against Morwell and Bairnsdale dished out a 127-point drubbing to Churchill with full-forward Paul Rowe booting 10 goals.

FUN FACT: A Ford Maverick, described as one of the best driving 4x4x on the road with low kilometres was on sale for $29,100 at Valley Ford in Morwell.

20 YEARS AGO MONDAY, APRIL 15 2002

UNION PUTS BRAKES ON $20 MILLION LOY YANG DREDGER

A new $20 million dredger, due to move into Loy Yang open cut yesterday, has been union blackbanned.

At a mass meeting held on site yesterday, the Federated Engine Drivers and Firemens Association voted unanimously to keep the No.27 dredger out of action ‘‘until all outstanding issues are resolved”.

BASSLINK OUTRAGE

Basslink action groups are united in their outrage over the draft report of the Joint Advisory Panel on Basslink, following a public meeting of more than 80 people in the Willung Hall last week.

According to Basslink Concerned Citizens Coalition president Keith Borthwick, all

VALLEY’S NBN ‘EDGE’

NEW MILESTONE FOR GIPPSAERO

Significant members of the aviation industry gathered at Gippsland Aeronautics recently as history unravelled itself.

It has been 17 years since the first GA8 Airvan prototype flew the skies and has since gained popular acceptance in the aviation market.

Last week, GippsAero launched GA8 Airvan 175 - making the Airvan the most produced, Australian designed and manufactured aircraft in history.

HECTIC LIFE OF A HOCKEYROO

Morwell hockey goalkeeper Ashlee Wells will always remember the year she became a full-time athlete.

In reality, she already was with the amount of time she had spent training and competing for selection in the Australian women’s hockey squad.

FUN FACT: A 30-can block of VB cans was on sale from $46.99 at Manny’s Liquor.

RIDING TALL IN THE SADDLE

Graham Furnell is riding ‘‘tall in the saddle” on this Penny Farthing bicycle which was donated to the Gippsland Folk Museum at Moe by Moe schoolteacher Bob Shearman.

The antique cycle has been in Mr Shearman’s family since 1936. Before that it was owned by a Kyneton man whose grandfather used to ride it regularly from Kyneton to Bendigo, a distance of about 60 miles.

HAWKS IN EMOTIONAL WIN

Morwell East ended a 31-game losing streak on Saturday, turning a large deficit into an emotional win against Thorpdale in the opening round of the Mid Gippsland Football League.

The Hawks trailed by 33 points midway through the third term, but kicked nine of the last 10 goals to win by 12 points.

Morwell East’s last win was almost two years ago on April 29, 2000, when the side recorded a 70-point success over Mirboo North.

FUN FACT: A fabulous three-bedroom home in the West End of Traralgon with kitchen/ meals area, large laundry and outdoor entertaining area could be yours for $78,000 with Rob Wilson Real Estate.

LATROBE Special Developmental School celebrated Harmony Week recently.

As a school we had each person place a hand or thumbprint on a canvas.

They also staged a dress up day where students had the choice of wearing orange (as part of respectful relationships), or to wear something of cultural significance to them.

Students also participated in activities throughout the week, such as craft, bingo, colouring, and dancing to music from different cultures.

Handy: The work of art where students at Latrobe Special Development School place a hand or thumbprint on canvas to mark Harmony Week.

When it comes to the Latrobe Valley’s IT is disappointing that the national assistant secretary of the ETU Michael Wright, would seem eager to discredit proposals put forward by the Victorian District of the Mining & Energy Union (MEU), that would not only provide for well-paid jobs for a just transition for coal workers, while also providing a feasible solution to maintain a reliable and affordable electricity grid (The Express, 30/3/22).

The Victorian District of the MEU also supports the production of Coal to Hydrogen based on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

Based on the success of the Hydrogen pilot plant at Loy Yang, we would welcome a commercial plant based in the Latrobe Valley.

Coal to Hydrogen with CCS would also provide for a well-paid just transition for mining and energy workers based in the Latrobe Valley and give our local community a brighter economic future.

The MEU also understands that Mr Wright is eager to discredit the MEU view on what a just transition might look like for the majority of power workers based in the Latrobe Valley, instead he proposes a “when the wind don’t blow and the sun don’t shine” renewable energy model that only offers a handful of permanent jobs to ETU members.

While we don’t disagree that the renewable energy model may offer some job opportunities to the small number of Latrobe Valley ETU members it will deliver little in the way of permanent jobs for the much larger group of workers the MEU represents and do little to stimulate the local economy.

Turning to Mr Wright’s views on the viability of nuclear power comments, the total system cost of nuclear power is cheaper than renewables and real world power prices demonstrate this with higher nuclear percentage countries having lower power prices.

Mr Wright makes a number of inaccurate claims within this article.

For example, he claims Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are unproven technology and a ‘pipedream’ even though SMR’s have been around for over 60 years in submarines, air craft carriers and ice breakers.

The current SMRs that are being designed for mass production are based on proven Light Water Reactor technology and other proven reactor technology but with simplified design to make them cheaper and fail safe.

Mr. Wright also claims that SMRs would take decades to build.

Poland has recently signed a definitive agreement with NuScale to build a SMR as early as 2029.

Australia could do the same if it so chose.

Mr Wright also makes an ill-informed statement claiming that nuclear would take too long to come online, unlike renewables.

Well nuclear would run as base load and would be dispatched up or down, whereas renewables can’t ‘come on line’ because their output is set by the sun and wind speed so they can’t be dispatched up or down.

The comment about workers being exposed to radioactive material in mining is a distraction because it is already an export industry.

Turning to the statement made that the MEU is doing a disservice to current workers in the mining and energy industry, we would like Mr Wright to explain how economically using existing infrastructure and expanding like-forlike well paid jobs in their region is going to do detrimental harm to them?

The MEU represents 85 per cent of all workers

in the Latrobe Valley mining and energy sector.

As far as I am aware the ETU represents only a handful of permanent workers in the Latrobe Valley.

The MEU has always been at the forefront of advocating for a just transition for Latrobe Valley mining and energy workers.

When Hazelwood Power Station closed it was the MEU that initiated and negotiated Australia’s first Worker Transfer Scheme.

This helped 90 young Latrobe Valley families to keep work and the same number of older workers to retire early.

Mr Wright does not live in the Latrobe Valley and has not had the real-life experience of dealing with privatisation/power station-mine closures and how it effects workers and the community they live in.

The MEU would respectfully ask Mr Wright and the ETU to keep a more open-minded approach when other unions are trying to advance proposals in relation to a real workable just transition that will benefit all Latrobe Valley mining and energy workers and not just a small handful.

The Victorian District Executive of the MEU would be happy to meet in the Latrobe Valley with Mr Wright and other ETU officials to discuss a meaningful just transition and a brighter future for our local community.

Geoff Dyke, On behalf of the MEU Victorian District Executive.

Australia a laggard on climate action

AUSTRALIA has yet again attracted the ire of the secretary-general of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres when he labelled Australia the worst laggard of 195 nations ahead of the latest instalment of the IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change) report.

He called us a “holdout” against effective action to fight climate change.

The report stressed the need for immediate ‘transformational change,’ and that the next few years are critical to avoid warming above 1.5°C. It stated that with the cost of wind, solar and batteries having fallen by 85 per cent since 2010, there is no excuse for inaction.

The IPCC chair, Hoesung Lee said, “We are at a crossroads. The decisions we make now can deliver a secure future. We have the tools and know-how required to limit warming. There are policies, regulations and market instruments that are proving effective in some countries. If these are scaled up and applied more widely and equitably, they can support deep reductions and stimulate innovation.”

The report conservatively stated that to keep global warming to 1.5°C, we need greenhouse gas emissions to peak by 2025 and to reduce by 43 per cent by 2030.

The recent budget delivered by Josh Frydenberg has delivered $20 billion to mineral developments in the northern half of Australia.

This will enable more coal and natural gas extraction increasing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions well into the future.

The war in the Ukraine has allowed government ministers like Peter Dutton to claim that we need to develop more fossil fuel extraction for national security.

Yet how much of the budget was for effective climate action? Virtually nothing!

This is just another example of the federal

government doing the fossil fuel industries bidding.

If we want true energy security in Australia, we must wean ourselves off fossil fuels and run our economy on cheap wind and solar backed up by pumped hydro and batteries.

We want our transport system to be based on electric vehicles and green hydrogen for heavy transport and trains.

Once this is achieved, we can base our economy on cheap, zero emissions energy and compete in the global marketplace with our own zero emissions manufactured goods.

In turn we will be able to grow our service industries supplying knowhow in running a renewable energy economy to the rest of the world. The current federal government is an obstruction to climate action.

It’s out of step with the opportunities that renewable energy affords us and with what the rest of the world is demanding of us.

Enjoy this Easter period

WITH the holidays approaching, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Easter.

I appreciate that as restrictions ease people are tempted to travel across the state, country and even internationally but I implore you not to overlook the local opportunities available to you right here in Gippsland.

Aside from all the wonderful natural attractions such as endless beaches, magnificent walking trials and beautiful waterfalls, the easing of health restrictions has now seen the return of a number of local community events.

Throughout the Easter school holidays there are a number of local Easter markets and fetes as well as the Anzac Weekend Airshow in Sale featuring the mazing Air Force Roulettes, the Gippsland Country Music Festival at Mossvale Park featuring popular artists such as Kasey Chambers and local “The Voice” contestant Mick Harrington, and the inaugural Good Friday horse racing meet in Sale which is sure to be a popular event.

For more information and to see what else is on in Gippsland these holidays check out www. visitgippsland.com.au/events.

Don’t forget to also check with your library for information on free school holiday activities for your children as well!

I encourage you to get out and explore our wonderful backyard here in Gippsland while supporting the local economy.

Easter reflections

HOW amazing that a dried dead seed placed in the earth will sprout again to life and multiply.

Easter is not about chocolates and rabbits; Easter is a celebration of the most significant event in history.

Life after death is a free gift, all we have to do is believe in the one who died on Good Friday and sprouted to life victoriously on Easter Monday. Jesus said, I am the Resurrection, and I am Life Eternal.

Anyone who clings to me in faith, even though he dies, will live forever. John 11:25 Paul McGrath, Churchill

Come down n

and smell the roses... ..

Poor form from spectators

HAVING attended several senior soccer matches recently in the Latrobe Valley I am appalled at the behaviour of some spectators towards referees and their assistants.

A very small section of crowds think that because they pay their admission (a whole $10) it is open slather to vent abuse at officials during a game.

As a former referee, I find that these unruly spectators at times have no idea of the rules of the game or how they are interpreted and it is no wonder that there is a huge shortage of people, both men and women, wanting to take up refereeing.

Clubs are supposed to provide Marshalls, but my observations are that they are loathe to take action against unruly spectators for reasons that only they know.

A much stronger stance needs to be taken and anyone found to be abusive towards officials should be banned from attending future games for the rest of the season.

Having being involved in the game for more than 60 years I can only hope that things will improve and more of our young people will take up refereeing in what is one the world’s great games.

Rip-off

DID you know that Medicare are now charging aged pensioners $190 for an ultrasound and $100 for a free bone scan?

Found that out when I telephoned Imed to make an appointment on April 4.

This federal government will always take from pensioners because we do not always complain!

Are your parents on the pension? Can they afford to pay $100 or more for a scan? Next will be the free X-Ray! Vic Breadon, Morwell

“Election” budget creates a bigger mess

THERE is no doubt that Josh Frydenberg’s Budget was an “election” budget.

Injecting billions of dollars to counter “cost of living increases” to fight inflation in an already over-heated economy will just fuel more inflation.

The one-off payments of $250 to welfare recipients and the $420 tax relief to low and middle income-earners will soon disappear when the inflation rate approaches 5 per cent and with little sign of matching wage increases, the spending power of Australians will actually decrease.

Every Australian can expect to feel a real hip-pocket hit come September when the fuel tax levy is restored to its normal rate and prices surge.

At the same time, the budget did nothing to effectively fight climate change.

However, the National Party were able to extort $20 billion of regional infrastructure building for marginal seats in the Hunter region, northern Queensland, the Pilbara and for fracking the NT from their Liberal Party masters.

This was so Scomo could save face at the COP 26 conference in Glasgow with a commitment to get to Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050.

Enjoy a bike rode on Morwell’s shared path Have fun in Morwell Please maintain social distancing

transition you are wrong Mr Wright It should also be noted that Victoria with nearly 25 per cent of the nation’s population only received 5.9 per cent of the total infrastructure spending in this budget.

The excuse given by the Feds is that no business case had been done for most of the projects Victoria put forward.

However, the Grattan Institute has found that only six projects of the 22 that the Feds have funded since 2016, had businesses cases prepared before they were approved.

It seems that another dynamic is at play here and that is that there are not enough marginal seats in Victoria.

In particular, Gippsland with its need to transition its economy away from coal would have had a prime case for funding, yet not a cent is coming our way.

This is the direct result of the seat of Gippsland being a safe National Party electorate with around a 60 per cent two-party preferred vote regularly going to our sitting member Darren Chester.

If people want to end these massive misappropriations of government spending, the pork barrelling rorts, bribing voters with temporary sugar hits and clumsy handling of the economy then you won’t be voting Nationals in Gippsland.

If you vote for Darren, you are in effect voting for Barnaby Joyce’s sloshing of money at northern electorates and his climate policy (do nothing).

It is simply wrong for a party which secured only 4.51 per cent of the national vote last election to dictate to the rest of the nation our spending priorities.

In contrast, the Greens got 10.4 per cent nationally and are calling for a Federal Independent Commission Against Corruption to eliminate this rorting of taxpayer money, which has become systemic with the present government.

UN’s IPCC reports are a scare tactic

THE article in Opinion (The Express, 24/3/22) from the Latrobe Valley Sustainability Group trotted out the usual misinformation from the UN’s IPCC reports, aimed to scare us all, keep us scared and to take action on “climate change”.

The claims of unprecedented weather events year after year are not substantiated by facts.

The current high rain fall events are due to La Nina, part of the natural weather cycles that help maintain planetary climate balances.

The recent flood levels in New South Wales and Queensland havebeen bettered by floods in the 1800s. Not unprecedented!

But that’s the usual terminology from the Greens.

The “world’s top climate science” are using computer models that don’t include the impact clouds, ie, water vapour, nor the influence of the sun and its cycles in their modelling of the weather and can’t accurately forecast immediate weather events let alone weather events 30 years ahead.

There is no evidence that supports the basis for the UN IPCC climate change: increasing carbon dioxide causes the temperature of the earth to rise. In fact, geological studies show the exact opposite is true, ie: temperature increase

causes delayed carbon dioxide increase. How many IPCC reports repeat the mantra of tipping points and we must act now?

It’s been going on since 1992, that’s 30 years.

Same old, same old.

This is the greatest con to date and we are paying dearly for it with increasing electricity prices.

The real aim of the UN & IPCC is best described by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon who told his audience at a meeting organised by the World Affairs Council “Global problems demand global solutions. And the United Nations is, truly the world’s only global institution.” (UN news release, July 26, 2007).

Speaking in San Francisco, the birthplace of the United Nations, Ban told his audience that climate change is the opportunity for massive new growth in the UN’s power and influence.

In 2010, Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC from 2004 to 2008 said: “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environment policy. This has almost nothing to do the environment policy anymore” and “We distribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy”.

Society needs our community’s support

I WAS recently elected as president of the Morwell Historical Society.

The society has been in existence for 60 years and has 78 voluntary members committed to the preservation, storage and display of historical memorabilia relevant to Morwell and District.

In 2015, the opportunity arose to purchase the Masonic Lodge building at 12 Hazelwood Rd, Morwell, one of the few remaining historical buildings in the Morwell CBD. With the assistance of loans from members, the society purchased this wonderful building accessible to all residents for $250,000.

Whilst we have support from Latrobe City and our many corporate and business sponsors, we still owe $125,000 and with our operational expenses and limited ability to raise funds (most members are retirees), we desperately need support to retire the $125,000 debt.

A recent donation of $1000 to our building fund starts the journey to raise $125,000 and I now seek interested Morwell and District residents with an interest in our history to support us in this regard to continue to provide a community asset.

All donations are tax deductible and would be acknowledged, if required.

Our facility is open to the public 11am-2pm on the first and third Wednesday and last Sunday of each month or by appointment.

I can be contacted on 0448 430 394.

LV Mine Rehabilitation: The proposed EES for Hazelwood has some merit, but ...

GREAT Latrobe Park Inc, (GLP) exists to champion appropriate rehabilitation and repurposing of the existing Latrobe Valley

brown coal mine voids through full and open community consultation.

It endorses the recent announcement that the government now requires an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) to be prepared for the Hazelwood Mine.

Decisions regarding repurposing of the mine voids require a great deal of hard data before informed, sensible and acceptable strategies can or should be formulated. A comprehensive and independent EES is the best way to ensure this.

Having said this, GLP does have reservations about requiring ENGIE to commission and present an EES at this time.

As all three mine void owners currently propose to fill their voids with water and there is insufficient water to make this a reality, requiring an EES now suggests each individual company will be responsible for determining their own closure plan without any “bigger picture” constraints. There are several major weaknesses to this form of decision-making.

For example, in terms of the creation of either full or partial pit lakes, it seems likely that: 1. The strategy unfairly advantages first movers. This might mean that Hazelwood is likely to have access to more available water than either Yallourn or Loy Yang when their turn comes.

2. Significant risk exists if for any reason target water levels cannot be reached that residual instability in certain areas will require remedial works. Generally, the lowest cost option is for these to be undertaken prior to commencing filling with water. In the event that water filling has commenced and the lowest cost options are no longer available, in the worst case, remedial actions could entail relocations of the Princes Freeway at Morwell, Traralgon Bypass (yet to be built) or the Morwell and Latrobe Rivers at Yallourn.

3. From a regional perspective, water needs to be carefully and strategically allocated with a significant understanding of the areas of greatest cost avoidance or greatest value. This has major community, economic and environmental sustainability considerations, not simply one of commercial expedience.

Nina Burke, Great Latrobe Park Inc president

Saddening stories

NEW research conducted by the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE) reveals saddening stories from hopeful, expectant, and new parents about negative experiences at each stage of the journey to parenthood – and the impact of those on their lives and wellbeing.

300,000 women give birth every year in this country, and behind that statistic are tens of thousands of stories of hidden distress.

Around 15 per cent of couples experience infertility. Many describe it as a physical and emotional rollercoaster with adverse impacts on relationships, financial security and mental health.

Pregnancy can be far from the glowing experience often portrayed. Prolonged and severe morning sickness, negative body image, family violence, anxiety and depression are just some of the challenges faced in pregnancy.

Miscarriage and stillbirth are more common than realised, leaving people shattered and heartbroken.

Birth trauma is underestimated, with the impact lasting for years.

The trauma can be magnified by the words

' $ ( ' %'* ""

! ! # &# ! # &# ! "%(

(( ) $ # $ * "! '%# %'* "" ' $ ) ) %$

spoken by health professionals in the moment that are never forgotten.

Alarmingly, 75 per cent of parents describe emotional and mental distress in their first year of parenting. Severe sleep deprivation, relationship tension and loneliness contribute to poor mental health and can trigger terrifying thoughts, outbursts of rage and postnatal anxiety and depression.

Due to high levels of stigma and social pressure, parents hide challenges from others for fear of judgement and even worry about having children removed from their care. This only exacerbates the impacts on mental health.

The findings emphasise the critical need for routine, universal, mental health screening of all hopeful, expectant and new parents, to identify distress early, and ensure timely referral.

When it comes to education, the current narrow focus on post-natal depression and anxiety is too little, too late. New approaches must offer more comprehensive information on the broader range of challenges at these vulnerable life-stages and address the stigma that exists.

The cathedral within Morwell Rose Garden

IT is indeed fitting that the American 19thcentury priest, Henry Ward Beecher, once wrote these deeply spiritual words: “Of all man’s works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.”

On this note, the majestic English Elms that tower over the rose-beds in the northernextension of Morwell Rose Garden perfectly echo Beecher’s words and are, in turn, echoed by the five massive climbing frames that overlook this section (which is bookended by the Jane Street Bridge and the Latrobe City headquarters) and that give the garden a certain “spiritual feeling” that the other three public rose gardens in Victoria sadly lack.

It is hard to describe this feeling in prose and the closest I have got is a poem I once wrote inspired by the Hybrid Musk Rose “Penelope” that grows in the Northern-extension and that is located near the Commercial Road bus stop: “Ever since I first gazed upon you, I’ve felt / As if an unearthly spirit within your petals dwelt, / For the garden seem’d magically transformed / Into an inner sanctum, and the climbing frames adorned /With stained-glass windows in great cathedrals found: / Such enchantment your beauty / Has upon me, / A kind of religious feeling, deep and profound.”

Thus as I stood there, transfixed and utterly humbled by the breathtaking beauty surrounding me, the two policeman, Time and Space, loosened their handcuffs and for that one perfect moment I had glimpsed a mystery and meaning beyond the turn of this trivial stone on which we live. The moment lasted only an instant and yet it was everlasting.

Indeed, Kubla Khan never decreed anything at Xanadu more strange or more beautiful.

To be sure, the point is that nature is a miraculous chrysalis which cracks under the heat of attention. One doesn’t need to be a poet or to meditate to bring on this transformation - a slow, reflective stroll along the petal-strewn paths of Morwell Rose Garden is all it takes.

Strzelecki Bushwalking Club

VICTORIA’S Federation Walks finally came to fruition in Licola at the end of March and was an overwhelming success.

Its third attempt welcomed 208 members representing many of the 62 Victorian clubs, seven of which are based in Gippsland.

Strzelecki Bushwalking Club and Ben Cruachan Walking Club formed the organising committee with seven dedicated and hard-working members and were supported by over 30 members of each of their clubs attending and assisting where possible.

Walkers selected from a smorgasbord of walks on Saturday and Sunday and were entertained on Saturday evening by guest speaker Beau Miles and on Sunday afternoon by local singer Courtney Jane.

Licola Lions Village accommodated all attendees and provided excellent facilities in a spectacular and often unfamiliar Gippsland location.

The next Strzelecki Club meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday, April 13 at the Scout Hall in Trafalgar.

Guest speaker will be John Parker speaking about “How the metre was determined”.

Heyfield Timber Festival

THE Heyfield Timber Festival made a comeback in February 2022 after 28 years.

We as a committee were nothing short of overwhelmed with the attendance and the positive feedback we have received over the entire weekend of the festival and in the weeks following.

The timber festival was even mentioned in Melina Bath’s address to parliament when she was talking about the importance of the timber industry.

During the COVID lockdowns a very fresh bunch of volunteers with little to no event management experience set on their way to bring back all the fond memories of the youths and childhoods of many local people with the return of the Heyfield Timber Festival.

We had a goal of bringing the memories back while striving to demonstrate the sustainability of the hardwood timber industry.

For this reason, “sustainably From the Hills to the Mills and Beyond” become our slogan.

A range of activities was held throughout the festival including a Truck show sponsored by First Super, Tim Coleman’s Bike Stunt show, Quick

Cuppa Dog jumping competition, vintage displays, car shows, carnival rides a petting zoo, food trucks, live music by Gecko, Low Profile, and voice finalist Mick Harrington, and the biggest drawcard of all – an oldfashioned woodchop event organised

by South & Central Victoria Gippsland Axeman’s Association.

When we first started planning the festival, we decided that if we were to come out having any excess funds left over after we put some aside for next year it will be donated out to local projects and to mental health.

This year we were delighted able to

MOVIE making, hiking, ten pin bowling, cooking on a campfire, ropes courses, mini golf, swimming, surfing, cosplay.

There’s something for everyone in Venturer Scouts.

Venturers is the Scouting section for youth aged from 14-17 years.

Being a Venturer is a great social activity and you will make lots of new friends.

The 1st Newborough Venturers are inviting you to come along and meet the group. You can attend up three times before deciding whether to join up.

Usually, the Venturers meet on a Monday evening from 7pm-9pm in the 1st Newborough Scout Hall, Torres Street, Newborough.

However, they often get together on weekends too and after a busy weekend sometimes take the Monday night off.

St Joseph’s Primary School celebrates St Joseph THE students at St Joseph’s Primary School in Trafalgar recently

Focused: Makenzie.

celebrated the feast day of St Joseph.

The day commenced with a whole school liturgy where the students recognised St Joseph as the patron saint of the school.

Ezra, from ‘Dance Curriculum’ visited the school to help the students celebrate through dance.

He conducted two 40 minute workshops with each class and then he organised a whole school performance for the finale.

Ezra engaged all the students and everyone had an energetic, fun day dancing and learning together.

The parents were thrilled with the performance at the end of the day.

The students also celebrated with free icy poles at lunchtime.

All smiles: Parents Ellie, Kate, Megan and Mia.

Team effort: Kaitlyn, Ava, Anton, Steph, Ruby and Ezra in front.

Enjoyable day: St Joseph’s Trafalgar students with Ezra.

Look at us: Ruby, Ezra and Ethan.

Energetic: Mia in action.

First Reconciliation A WONDERFUL gathering of 24 students from the Churchill and Morwell Parishes gathered at Sacred Heart Church to celebrate their First Reconciliation.

This was the first time the three schools had come together to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Students from Lumen Christi Primary School, Saint Vincent De Paul Primary and Sacred Heart Primary School, gathered and participated in this very traditional service.

Staff members, Cathy Colaciello, Angela Darling and Michelle Inchincoli, all worked tremendously together to make the Sacrament a success.

Parish Priest, Father James, was in awe.

“The Religious Education Leaders at each school showed their commitment to the faith journey of their students by gathering together for this special event,” he said.

The schools are now in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation which occurs later next term.

Respect: The Stations of the Cross at St Mary’s Primary School.

Students show “the way”

Important day: Year 3 students from Lumen Christi Primary School who celebrated their First Reconciliation.

Pictured from back: Father Vincent and Father James, Middle row: Billy, Charlotte, Noah and Penny First Row: Anne, Eli and David. photograph supplied

THE Year 6 students of St Mary’s Primary School, Newborough have kept with tradition to re-enact the Stations of the Cross for the school community.

Every year the school presents a solemn reflection of Jesus’ last hours where each station is presented as a freeze frame along with a reflection on how that scene can be recontextualised into meaning for our world today.

“The Way of the Cross” is an experience where every person through watching, listening and hearing has an opportunity to reflect in prayer in their own way as they participate in Jesus’ journey,” a school spokesperson said.

“It is a timely reminder of the events that lead to the joyous resurrection of Jesus and the celebration of Easter.”

Ceremony: The Stations of the Cross at St Mary’s Primary School.

Demons lose AFLW decider FOOTBALL

GIPPSLAND was well represented in the AFLW grand final last Saturday.

The match between Adelaide and Melbourne saw a trio of local players step onto Adelaide Oval in front of 16,712 spectators for the Demons.

Morwell Football-Netball Club product Casey Sherriff flew the Latrobe Valley flag on the big stage, alongside Gippsland teammates Megan Fitzsimon (from Bairnsdale) and Tayla Hanks (Nar Nar Goon). The grand final capped off a meteoric rise for Sherriff, who joined Melbourne in late 2018 as cover for Demon’s skipper Daisy Pearce.

Unfortunately the grand final ended in a double-blow for Sherriff, as Melbourne lost 4.5 (29) to 2.4 (16) and the defender was taken from the ground with a fractured left wrist late in the game.

The Demons got to within seven points during the last quarter, but a goal to the Crows against the run of play sealed the deal.

Sherriff ended the match with four disposals and two tackles.

The 23-year-old has played 27 games for Melbourne since debuting in 2020.

Elite resource in the Valley SPORT

By LIAM DURKIN

ATHLETES across Gippsland are benefitting from specialised high-performance strength and conditioning services thanks to the work of a local provider.

Control High Performance is ensuring young and aspiring athletes are given the resources and tools they need to build their bodies in readiness for professional levels, all the while reducing the travel burden often seen in days gone by.

Previously, Gippsland-based athletes and their parents would need to drive long distances to receive the same training and development offered at Control.

These opportunities are now available in Traralgon, with Control High Performance welcoming athletes from a range of sports wanting to take the next step.

The centre is also making sure local athletes are not being left behind in comparison to their metro-counterparts, demonstrated by the recent running of an AFL Draft Combine style testing day for just over 50 of Gippsland’s best young footballers.

Control Strength and Conditioning coach Stuart Goddard said the centre was committed to assisting athletes of all demographics.

“The goal of the entire business is to bring high level sport science services out of the city and down to Latrobe Valley,” he said.

“All levels, all athletes, all ages, we work mainly with adolescents but we also have a number of mature age athletes.

“Anyone who is looking to improve some sporting performance or working through any injuries with rehab we are here to help.”

As well as strength and conditioning, Control offers fitness testing, biomechanics testing and team sessions, all of which benefits how people live their day-to-day lives.

The centre has a plethora of equipment working in a commercial gym environment, and an advisory board featuring local swimming legend Brian Ford and John Quinn, who has served roles as HighPerformance Director at AFL clubs Essendon and Greater Western Sydney.

Asset: Stuart Goddard of Control High Performance Centre in Traralgon is helping local athletes with elite strength and conditioning coaching. photograph liam durkin In a world where people are becoming increasingly busier, Goddard said there was still a number of vital areas that could not be undervalued when it came to health and fitness.

“Sleep and nutrition, nothing can beat it, you can do all the ice baths in the world, use all the fancy recovery techniques but nothing beats sleep and

nutrition,” he said. “Drink more water, get more protein and get more sleep.”

Control High Performance is located at 46 Cross Street, Traralgon.

Deferral of netball court works NETBALL

FOLLOWING a meeting on Monday, April 4, Latrobe City Council and the Traralgon Netball Association (TNA) have decided to defer the planned netball court resurfacing works at Agnes Brereton Reserve until next summer at a suitable time for the club and the contractor.

This decision comes after the principal contractor was engaged to deliver crucial emergency repair works in response to the East Gippsland floods, which meant they were unable to begin the works as planned.

Although the contractor would possibly be available in May to commence works, the works may not be completed prior to the State Netball Tournament planned to be held at the venue in early June.

Since the flood event is considered an exceptional circumstance, the federal government funding body will consider council’s request for an extension of time.

As part of the overall project, all 10 netball courts will be resurfaced, the concrete edge beam and footpath along the eastern edge of the four courts along Breed Street will be replaced, along with the kerb and footpath along the western and northern edges of the six courts to the east of the car park.

In the meantime, all courts will be available for full use by TNA and the community after some reinstatement works are completed on the front four courts.

Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan acknowledged the TNA community for their patience.

“Council is grateful for the understanding and support of the club members as we’ve worked

through this lengthy process, understanding that some elements of this situation are out of our control,” she said.

“Ultimately, our local kids will be able to continue with their season without any further disruption, and we can look forward to seeing the works completed in the warmer months,” Traralgon Netball Association president Deb Archer thanked council for working with the club and listening to their concerns in an effort to find a way forward.

“This has been a challenging situation to contend with, particularly following two years of disruptions due to COVID-19. We look forward to being able to have a normal season and see our kids play the game they love so much while working with Latrobe City and the contractor to ensure the works get delivered next summer,” she said.

TRARALGON export Tim Membrey booted four goals as St Kilda destroyed Hawthorn by 69 points at the MCG on Sunday.

Membrey was one of four Saints to bag a quartet of majors in the 22.10 (142) to 10.13 (73) victory.

Fellow tall forward Max King, Brad Hill and Jade Gresham were the other St Kilda players to join Membrey with four goals in what was a thrilling performance from the rampaging Saints.

Membrey played an important role, finishing the game with 15 possessions (12 kicks, three handballs), eight marks and 4.1.

The victory lifts St Kilda to fourth spot with a 3-1 record.

Morwell’s Changkuoth Jiath finished the game with 22 possessions, but it was a tough afternoon for the rebounding defender and his fellow Hawthorn backmen.

St Kilda takes on the Gold Coast Suns next week, with the Suns producing their best performance of the season to beat Carlton by 30 points at Metricon Stadium on Sunday.

The Suns, featuring Morwell’s Ben Ainsworth, led at every change in the 13.14 (92) to 8.14 (62) success.

Ainsworth finished the match with 11 possessions (seven kicks, four handballs) and 1.1.

Former Fish Creek and Moe footballer Sam Flanders missed selection for Sunday night’s match.

New faces highlight Harriers’ week

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By MOLLY IRVINE

ON the first Thursday night run since daylight saving ended, 51 runners completed the brisk 5km run including the welcoming of new runners Chelsea Fox (28:26), Clair Macumber (28:54), Stacey Podmore (28:56), and Hayley Batchelor (28:56).

With the run both starting and finishing near the Traralgon netball courts, the course took the runners along part of the Traralgon Park Run course before heading up the back of Balmoral Way, and around some of the West End housing estate and then back onto Bradman Boulevard before the finish.

The first three runners on handicap this week were again the ever-so-speedy Ian Cornthwaite (18:30), who was followed by young-gun Miles Verschuur (18:51), and then Glenn Graham who was only one mere second behind in (18:52).

For the females, the fastest three times were Yani Cornthwaite (21:05), who managed to outrun Karen Graham (21:09) by just four seconds, and third place went to returning club-legend Kylie Murray in 21:15.

This week’s run (April 14) is a 5km course which starts from the clubrooms on the corner of Grubb Ave and Douglas Parade, Traralgon.

Registration is from 5.30pm.

Two wins for happy United

BASKETBALL BIG V

By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND United men made it back-toback wins in Round 4 of Big V basketball.

United defeated Altona 92-74 at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium on Saturday night.

The win ensured the Gippsland team took a scalp in the competition, as Altona looks to be a team that could make up the top section of the ladder.

An even first quarter saw United take a slender one-point lead at the first change. The home side got on top in the second, shooting 23 points to 14, before going again in the third, putting up 27 to 23.

United build on its ascendency to eventually win by 18 points.

Billy Hughes led the scoring with 12, and received good support from Jordan Gooiker who netted 12.

American import Brandon Armstrong had nine rebounds and three steals.

Gippsland United now sits fifth on the ladder with three wins from four starts.

THE women’s side also had a comfortable victory, defeating Mornington 88-54.

Playing at home, United dominated from the outset, scoring 28 points in the first quarter alone.

From there it was more of the same as Gippsland took a 48-27 lead into half-time.

The team managed itself in the third, only scoring 10 points, but then slammed on 30 points to 17 in the last to win by 34 points.

Chloe Hogg had a field day, scoring 20 points and having 13 rebounds.

Others to feature prominently on the scoring chart were Macey McGlead (17) and import Makenzie Miller (15).

United women are third on the ladder with three wins from five games and a percentage of 133.40.

GIPPSLAND United’s next match will be on Saturday, April 23 where the men play Surf Coast at home.

The women have a fair rest now, and will next play on Saturday, May 1 when they travel to Altona.

Falcons, Fortuna play out a thriller

the Monash defence, but the Wolves pressed on.

Monash had some good chances with two shots hitting the upright.

Adam Semple had a near miss but Santo Simon was able to clear the deck.

After a scramble of legs a Pegasus player was stretchered from the pitch which held up play for a few minutes.

Monash were reduced to 10 men when Chris Noppert was red carded after grabbing his second yellow card.

Despite the Wolves’ best efforts, Pegasus emerged with the three points and the 2-1 win.

By LAURIE WILLIAMS

BEFORE a big Saturday night crowd Falcons had to claw back from three goals down to force a draw with over the road rivals Fortuna.

The Lions took control of the game early and dominated where it was required, on the scorecard picking up vital goals to leave Falcons in their wake.

At three goals down, Falcons were looking down the barrel and the Italian-Australian Cup sliding towards Fortuna’s clutches.

In fighting spirit, Falcons contested hard and eventually found their mojo to get back at Fortuna with a three goal burst that took many by surprise.

At 3-3 the game was hotting up, but the ref’s whistle blew, resulting in the first draw between the crosstown rivals since 2015.

It was a big night for Falcons star Nick D’Alessandro who played his 200th game for Falcons in a career stretching back to 2006.

He then played away before returning in 2010 when he won the first of his four best and fairest awards.

The much decorated player turned coach has transformed the club into a powerhouse outfit winning 12 trophies in his role as leader.

EAST GIPPSLAND V NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN were rewarded after their big trip to Bairnsdale with a 5-2 hard fought win over the locals.

It wasn’t an easy game for Newborough/Yallourn as East Gippsland worked hard throughout.

Alex Van Vliet was on form scoring a hat-trick in a dominant display up front.

Tristan Donohue also had a big impact for Newborough/Yallourn, scoring a brace in their important win.

SALE V TRARALGON CITY SALE United broke through for a 2-0 win against Traralgon City on Saturday night.

The chance to play under lights certainly suited the Swans and in particular Isaak Jondahl.

Jondahl scored both goals for the home side to deliver Sale’s first win over the Roosters since 2018.

It was also the first success in the men’s competition for new coach Anouk Meereboer.

PEGASUS V MONASH PEGASUS had to fight hard to stave off a persistent Monash side.

The Horsemen looked the goods in the first half, but it was Monash who started like a train with two corners in the first two minutes keeping Santo Simon under pressure.

The Monash bench rose as one when Ryan Harvey beat the keeper but their groans were audible as offside was flagged.

Pegasus with skilful use of the ball were able to

CHURCHILL V MOE

wrong foot Monash and at 11 minutes in struck the first blow when Kuku Mahmoud beat Logan Troughton with a superb drive.

Monash were missing three of their major players but still matched up with Pegasus. Calab Semple and Ryan Davis were getting useful possessions.

A one-two by Kuku Mahmoud to Nelson Tombra saw the Horsemen go up by two goals at the 20 minute mark of the term.

Three Pegasus defenders unsure who to take a kick were upstaged by a sneaky Broden Grover, who tapped the ball into an empty goal to give the Wolves some joy.

Pegasus leading 2-1 at the break went into the the second half with plenty of confidence, but Monash refused to surrender.

Keeper Logan Troughton was put under pressure as Pegasus continued to put pressure on

MOE could be well pleased with their 3-0 over the Rams fielding a team with some big names missing.

Churchill were also missing some of their best, but still made a contest making it hard for Moe. Moe set up attacks from the middle of the park with Connor O’Hanlon in sparkling form.

His teamwork with Matt Shearing saw Moe post their first goal at 10 minutes.

It was to and fro as neither team could gain a clear advantage, but youngster Campbell Young provided the spark with a superb cross for Shearing’s second just before half-time.

Churchill had their chances in the second stanza but wayward passing and good keeping kept the Rams scoreless.

Moe’s captain Nick Fogarty ensured that the Red Devils would make it even harder for Churchill with a 25-metre goal to round out a top night.

Marvellous Morwell defeats Moe NETBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

MORWELL maintained its strong start to the Gippsland League netball season with a win over Moe in Round 2 action.

The Tigers and Lions took all-star billing to the Morwell courts on what was a sweltering hot day that pushed most players.

A number of key match-ups added to the intrigue of what took place, most notably Morwell goalkeeper and league best-and-fairest winner Courtney Garth up against opposite number in Lions shooter Taylin Gourley, as well as Moe goal attack and Vixens academy member Georgia Moody working under the ring as well.

Another subplot on the day was Moe premiership player Shannon Freeman coming up against her old side for the first time.

Somewhat ironically, the defender came up against Moe on the very court the Lion’s celebrated their greatest netball triumph in 2018.

Freeman, a two-time Victorian representative, has joined the Tigers this season and the team looks, on paper at least, to have one of the strongest defences ever assembled with Garth, Freeman and Tanya Budge all in the mix.

Morwell proved its credentials in the contest against a highly-fancied Moe, eventually winning 50 to 43.

The Tigers looked to be working in sync during the second half, and forced the Moe players to become hesitant on occasions.

With a manageable buffer established midway through the third quarter, both teams wrestled ascendency, but it was Morwell who were able to control the match for longer periods.

Tiger’s centre Chloe Radford celebrated her 50th

Things do not get any easier for the Maroons, as they take on Morwell next round.

The Hawks confined the Maroons to their second loss from as many starts, after Traralgon went down to Leongatha last week.

While it is only early days, Traralgon is facing a

OTHER results saw Wonthaggi hold on for a gutsy 31-26 win over Warragul on the road, while Maffra was too strong for Bairnsdale, winning 54-26 at home and Leongatha gave Sale a decent drubbing, claiming a 74-20 victory at Sale.

A Grade match with a win, adding to the good feeling around the camp.

MID GIPPSLAND, ROUND 1

MID Gippsland netball began in earnest last Saturday.

League powerhouse Yinnar picked up where it left off last season, taking to their home court and defeating Tarwin comfortably 56-32.

The Magpies did not drop a game in 2021, and in the eyes of many, will again be the team to beat this season under the coaching of Skye McDonald.

Mirboo North was too strong for Hill End. The Tigers could hardly be faulted in their effort and execution, as they won 70-42 at home.

Jess Holland collected best-on-court honours, while Louisa Pratt also played well.

Boolarra, under the coaching of netball warrior Greta Douch, got a win to start their season on a positive note.

The Demons defeated their moniker namesakes from MDU, winning against the other Demons 34-26 at Boolarra.

Newborough was well beaten at home by Toora 57-34, although new Bulldogs coach Sammy Waters might see that the team is now better for the experience. Demi Caldow, Charlize Bird and Caitlin Prestidge played well for Newborough in a losing cause.

Thorpdale and Stony Creek played out a competitive match at Thorpdale.

The Blues applied strong defensive pressure, but it was wasn’t enough as the Lions took out a 33-26 victory.

Alex Hopkins played well for the Blues and was

Fish Creek had all the answers for Foster.

The travelling Kangaroos hopped into the Foster Showground and bounded away to a 36-22 win over the Tigers.

Morwell East had the bye.

Glengarry powers to a big win in North Gippy NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By LIAM DURKIN

GLENGARRY recorded a resounding win over Traralgon Tyers United in Round 2 of North Gippsland netball.

The Magpies prevailed at home, winning 62-30.

The result keeps Glengarry’s unbeaten start to the season intact, following their thrilling two-goal victory over Churchill last week.

The Cougars got their first win of the season, courtesy of a 55-22 win over Gormandale.

Making the trip to a place known as the ‘Boneyard’, Churchill was able to build on its dominance throughout the game, eventually taking the margin well out to over 30 goals.

Cassidy Vroegop was voted best-on-court for the Cougars.

NORTH GIPPSLAND, ROUND 2

A GRADE: Glengarry 62 d TTU 30, Churchill 55 d Gormandale 22, Sale City 44 d Heyfield 30, Woodside 61 d Rosedale 46, Cowwarr bye.

B GRADE: Glengarry 51 d TTU 43, Gormandale 51 d Churchill 40, Sale City 36 d Heyfield 19, Woodside 40 d Rosedale 38, Cowwarr bye.

C GRADE: TTU 43 d Glengarry 25, Gormandale 38 d Churchill 29, Sale City 36 d Heyfield 20, Rosedale 25 d Woodside 24, Cowwarr bye.

D GRADE: TTU 39 d Glengarry 20, Gormandale 31 d Churchill 30, Sale City 50 d Heyfield 11, Rosedale 44 d Woodside 24, Cowwarr bye.

15 AND UNDER: Glengarry 45 d TTU 15, Gormandale 43 d Churchill 12, Sale City v Heyfield (result unknown), Rosedale 49 d Woodside 16, Cowwarr bye.

Woodside proved it may well be the real deal in 2022.

The Wildcats took care of traditional powerhouse Rosedale with minimal fuss, winning 61-46 on the

Blues home court. While it is only Round 2, a win of this magnitude will surely send an ominous warning to the rest of the competition.

Sale City got on the court for the first time this

season, and celebrated with a 44-30 win over Heyfield on the road.

There was some positives though for the Kangaroos, as Millicent Riseley made her A Grade debut.

Round 2 of the NGFNL will conclude on Good Friday, as Yarram and Yallourn Yallourn North clash at the formers home court.

Players now have the chance to recover and refresh for Round 3 which will take place on April 23.

Sale City will host Rosedale in what looms as a tight contest, while YYN and Glengarry will clash.

TTU and Gormandale will go into their match-up each confident of walking away victorious.

Cowwarr returns from the bye and will play Churchill and Woodside plays traditional rival Yarram coming off a seven-day break.

Cougars desttroy Tigers FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By SCOTT BERECHREE

THE large bang heard around the Latrobe Valley on Saturday afternoon at approximately 4.30pm was nothing to concern yourself with.

Unless you are a fan of the Gormandale Football-Netball Club of course as the noise was the sound of the Tigers crashing back to earth after their Round 1 drought-breaking win.

While hopes of back-to-back wins were probably dashed when the Gormandale permit players from week one boarded their flights back to the Northern Territory, the 236-point demolition job done on them by Churchill was unexpected to say the least.

Churchill was without a raft of first-choice players with the likes of Kurt Holt, Chris Williams, Ryan Lowrie, Joey Whykes, coach Jordan Fenech and late withdrawal Cain Iorangi all not taking the field.

Come quarter time however the game was dead and buried with the visiting Cougars slamming home 11 goals to one.

This theme was continued for the remainder of the game with Churchill kicking 11, eight and 11 goals across the next three quarters to amass a whopping 41.17 (263) to 4.3 (27).

Chief among the goalkickers was Ben Kearns who helped himself to 11 before taking an early shower at three-quarter time.

Corey Nicholls and midfielder Jake Roe Duggan took over where Kearns left off and helped themselves to a six pack each.

Churchill coach Fenech was seemingly impressed with his side’s performance but stopped short of being too effusive.

He was pleased how the boys adapted on the fly with some forced team changes. He was also happy to see an improvement on accuracy in front of goal.

Fenech noted this was a focus during the week after poor form in front of the sticks during practice matches and his side’s Round 1 victory.

THE closest match of the round saw Woodside continue their winning start to the year as they consigned a gallant Rosedale to their second loss of the season in a 9.11 (65) to 7.7 (49) scoreline.

Woodside restricted Rosedale to just the solitary major until the main break and but for inaccuracy in front of goal the Wildcats could have had the game parcelled up at

Woodside coach Michael Duncan heaped praise on Jeremy Morgan for his efforts in defence and also acknowledged the efforts of fellow defenders Will Broadbent and Ben Johnson.

Duncan also acknowledged the excellent return of Nick Stockdale who played his first Stockdale helped himself to a pair of majors,

but it was new recruit Zac Richards who led the goalkicking tally bagging four.

Duncan suggested both sides would be happy to have next week off noting the tackling pressure was through the roof in trying conditions.

Duncan concurred with the Rosedale match committee in naming Jason Garrett, Tom Northe and Brad McKay the players he thought where the opposition’s best.

IF inaccuracy cost Woodside a chance to put their game to bed early it appears both sides in the Traralgon Tyers United/Glengarry match-up followed the Wildcats lead.

Glengarry managed only seven majors from their 21 scoring shots while TTU fared only marginally better kicking truly 16 times from three dozen shots at goal.

After an honourable loss last week to Yarram, it was crucial for TTU to get the points this week and that is what they did with a comfortable 10-goal victory 16.20 (116) to 7.14 (56).

While Brad Kelleher managed to help himself to seven snags it wasn’t enough for the power forward to be named among the Bombers best half a dozen players.

IN the final match of the weekend, it was Sale City who took the points over a struggling Heyfield outfit.

The tricolours six-goal win in their first hit out of the season will have many sides on notice with rumours of a Doggy demise in 2022 seemingly a long way off the mark.

With seven players hitting the scoresheet, headed up by Sam Davidson who managed four, Sale City ran rampant after half-time kicking 11 goals to five to have the visitors singing their song loud and proud on the final siren after a 14.13 (97) to 9.8 (62) win.

For Heyfield it was the evergreen James Beha and young gun Tyson Birss leading the way.

With Liam Heasley unable to hit the scoreboard like he did so regularly last year it appears the Kangaroos are in desperate need of an avenue to goal if they are going to trouble the better sides in season 2022.

ROUND 2 action concludes this Friday at Yarram where the Demons take on Yallourn Yallourn North in what has become the traditional Good Friday clash.

For those unable to attend the match will be covered by Gippsland FM with the pre-game commencing at 4pm and live action from the first to final siren starting at 4.30pm.

With Yarram believed to have up to eight changes to their Round 1 line-up and the Jets likely to recall superstar Dean MacDonald, who missed Round 1 with injury, and potentially roll out a few permit players, this promises to be one of the games of the year.

a while to gel once we got going we had some really good passages of play.”

Thorpdale coach Ray Pickering lamented an opportunity missed.

“A very good, tight first half of footy but we cost ourselves a two-three goal lead at half-time with some undisciplined acts,” he said.

“Second-half we couldn’t sustain our structures and fitness allowing Stony to get on top and run over us in the end. Stony have recruited very well and are much improved from 2021 and will scare some good teams this year. We have some positives to take out of the first half going into Round 2.”

There is a long season that awaits both of these teams, but there’s no question that they will be a headache for many opposition teams in 2022.

FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

By ROB POPPLESTONE

IT may have only been Round 1, but Hill End achieved something pretty special when they had their first win at Mirboo North since 1999.

The two top sides of the 2021 season, both felt as though there was some unfinished business after the abandonment of finals gave neither a chance for a run at a premiership.

2022 is without question seen as an opportunity for both clubs to once again put themselves in a position to achieve the ultimate in the Mid Gippsland FootballNetball League.

The Tigers at home were always going to be a tough outfit to beat, as they are, on their unique home ground, but also given the visiting Rovers team was still a little off full strength.

The Rovers claimed every inch they could, a five-point quarter time margin extending to an impressive 19-point lead at half-time with the likes of Aaron Fawcett and Ambu Uliando leading the way.

That ‘edge’ the visitors had was built on each quarter with the result being a comfortable but impressive 34-point victory 12.13 (85) to 7.9 (51).

Hill End coach Mike Santo said it was a good start to the season.

“Well it wasn’t a tortuous thrashing like we’ve received since 1999 but it was a hard fought contest, we have a heap of respect for coach Josh Taylor and Mirboo North so we are really pleased to come away with the win,” he said.

“We were able to break them open with quality ball use and we won the contest in the middle, and started to also dominate clearances and lock the ball in our end.

“We look forward to continued improvement and getting some guys back in the next couple of weeks.”

Mirboo North coach Josh Taylor said his team would look to respond in its next game.

“It was a tough, hot game, both sides had some key players out and we went in very short (height wise) we had some real momentum at times and held for a period, but Hill End controlled it for longer periods,” he said.

“I was really impressed with our kids, they had a red hot crack, our senior leaders are just a touch under done and it hurt us in the last, but it’s onward and upwards from here and we’re looking forward to Newborough who got off to a flyer - already it’s a huge game for our season.”

The league promised a quality competitive season and every early indication is that is exactly what we are going to get.  BOOLARRA v MDU

IN the battle of the Demons it was home side Boolarra that made the most of their opportunities and grounded their way to a satisfying 15-point victory 8.9 (57) to 5.12 (42).

Boolarra certainly had some tongues wagging prior to the season starting on the back of some impressive recruiting that included AFL premiership player Brent Guerra and North Gippsland FootballNetball League best-and-fairest Ricky Cochrane just to name a couple of almost a dozen new faces.

MDU on the other hand decided to keep their focus on local juniors with the hope that some could be fast tracked into having a senior impact.

The visiting Demons younger players certainly would have learned a lot from the experience - wasted opportunities, probably the most obvious area of improvement.

MDU coach Peter Harris said it was a good contest.

“The boys battled well for most of the day, with our young kids showing the way, we controlled the footy in the first half but failed to apply scoreboard pressure and Boolarra were able to take some chances in the third and fourth being too strong in the end,” he said.

Boolarra coach Tony Giardina shared similar sentiments.

“It was a tough game, MDU played all over us in the first half but their bad kicking for goal kept us in it, after half-time the boys lifted and fought hard for the win,” he said.

Both of these teams would have their sights set on climbing their way up into finals contention, and every win therefore is absolutely crucial. For Boolarra they will know exactly where they stand when they meet a quality Hill End outfit the week after Easter, and for MDU, they will get their chance when they clash with Thorpdale.  NEWBOROUGH v TOORA

A STATEMENT wanted to be made

 YINNAR v TARWIN

Landmark: Hill End had a promising start to the 2022 Mid Gippsland season, defeating Mirboo North on their home deck for the first time since 1999. Rovers veteran Robert Fiddelaers, pictured in a tangle with Mirboo North star Liam Nash, was listed among his sides best players.

photograph stacey holland

and indeed a statement was made by an impressive Newborough side. The Bulldogs cruised to a better than 100-point victory at home 20.20 (140) to 6.3 (39).

New Bulldogs coach Craig Skinner had been working on this week from as far back as July 2021, carefully selecting the players he wanted to be part of a culture at Newborough, a culture he knew had been successful previously at the club.

The visiting Toora team under new coach Matt Ponton was hopeful they might be able to catch the home side off guard in Round 1, but for the Magpies it wasn’t to be.

Skinner said he was delighted with how the first game played out.

“It was tight early in perfect conditions and was going to come down to who could last the longest and have the least injuries, thankfully in the second half it was us. The experience of (Luke) Webber down back and Jibba (Peter) Ainsworth forward were good for us,” he said.

“Happy for a week off before taking on Mirboo North which will be compounded by them coming off a loss, not many sides are going to experience Mirboo North on the rebound so we will spend two weeks getting ready for that.”

It was a consistent, workmanlike performance by Newborough, who extended their lead at every break kicking four, six, five and five goals respectively in each quarter slowly pressing their opposition into submission.

Toora coach Matt Ponton said his team would take some lessons from the defeat.

“We played really good football in spurts, but unfortunately for not long enough,” he said.

“Newborough proved to be the fitter side and ran all over us in the second half, we have lots to work on but all the cobwebs and the realisation has set in for players that we must play for the full 120 minutes ... we will improve and be more competitive.”

Improvement is what we can expect, probably from both sides, which all points to a most enjoyable and competitive season.  THORPDALE v STONY CREEK

STONY Creek began their season with an emphatic 38-point win over Thorpdale 16.8 (104) to 10.6 (66) - a victory that was as good as it gets for the Lions.

Winning has been like gold for these two teams in recent years so the chance to open the account in the 2022 season with four premiership points was seen as crucial to both.

The Blues at home had been happy with their preseason and appreciative of the numbers that had made the effort in the weeks and months leading up to this day.

Equally, the Lions, with some new faces, both junior and those more experienced, had given the visitors the belief a win first-up was most certainly possible.

Stony Creek coach Jay Accardi said there was a bit to like.

“It was a great start to our season for our boys at Thorpdale against some good opposition,” he said.

“After a really even first half we were able to pull away, even though to their credit they pushed us to the end, the pleasing thing for both our sides (seniors and reserves) is that it was our first real hit-out of the season as two individual teams and although we took

TARWIN had a terrific start to the season, managing to manufacture an eight-point win away from home against a Yinnar side that prides itself on being hard to beat at any time let alone the first game of the year.

The Sharks almost paid the price for inaccuracy but held on to win 16.13 (109) to 16.5 (101).

The Magpies like most, have set their sights on finals football once again in 2022, but also realise that the expected improvement by many teams in the competition will mean that playing at the pointy end of the season cannot be taken for granted.

Yinnar coach Daniel Taylor said there was an even amount of positives and negatives.

“Our intensity was off early which put us on the back foot for most of the day, to be fair I thought we were lucky to be still in the game at three quarter time as Tarwin was clearly the better side, we rolled the dice and fought it out but came up short unfortunately,” he said.

“I was proud of the fightback, but disappointed with how we started and now we have a big game in a fortnight against Morwell East.”

Tarwin gave new coach Troy Hemming a win on debut, who said it was a promising start to his time in the driver’s seat.

“It was a great start by our full squad, very impressed with our new players coming into our club and our local veterans turning back the clock we showed great fight for four quarters,” he said.

“We trained our game plan all pre-season and the boys stuck to it, Yinnar were a good outfit and kept coming all day and we wish them all the best for the season, but it was a team effort for Tarwin.”

Tarwin will now meet fellow first round victors Stony Creek.  FOSTER v FISH CREEK

ALTHOUGH there has already been some new rivalries created since the merging of the Alberton league into the MGFNL, the ‘old’ rivalries are still very much alive and they don’t get any more intense than between these two great clubs.

It appeared Foster was going to start their season with a win at three quarter time when the Tigers led by 17 points at home, but Fish Creek staged a sensational surge in the final 30 minutes to steal a win by less than a kick 7.13 (55) to 8.5 (53).

There hadn’t been a lot of news coming out of Foster in the off season, whereas Fish Creek have in fact managed to bring back a couple of homegrown footballers complementing quite a number of juniors who were introduced to a ‘finals like’ atmosphere to start their senior careers.

Foster coach Sam Davies said the result was a bitter pill to swallow.

“Tough loss after leading all day. Just a lack of depth after a couple more late outs probably caught us in the end,” he said.

Kicking for goal was probably the difference, with both sides having opportunities in the first half, but Fish Creek wasted many of those and trailed at the major break by 15 points despite both teams hitting the scoreboard on eight occasions.

In the third quarter, the visitors added another one goal and four behinds while the home side’s accuracy of two goals from two attempts extended their lead to a healthy but not match winning lead.

Fish Creek’s ability to snatch a victory from what seemed defeat is enough to suggest that the Kangaroos are the real deal in 2022.

Winning coach John Danckert was full of praise for his troops.

“Gutsy win Saturday, behind all day until when it mattered. An exciting finish with a kick to decide the match, luckily for us it missed and we scraped through,” he said.

“We realise Foster were missing quite a few players, that said we were too. We will be looking forward to the week off and getting back on the home deck against Toora.”

MORWELL East had the bye.

Lions remain unbeaten FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

ROUND 2 of the Gippsland League returned a number of eyebrow-raising results, and even more intriguing margins.

While the majority of games saw favourites prevail, it was the manner in which those favourites won that provided no shortage of talking points - and then of course there was a draw thrown in just to add another subplot.

Granted the season is only two weeks old and results do tend to fluctuate at this time of year as teams find their feet, one still couldn’t help but ponder the fortunes of a few teams as results came to hand.

Are Wonthaggi not as strong as predicted?

Or are Warragul perhaps better than first thought? Did Sale have a really off day? Or are Leongatha just simply streets ahead of everyone else? And does the margin in the Traralgon/Drouin game say less about the Maroons and more about the Hawks?

Maybe that is what makes the Gippsland League such a great competition - it is so unpredictable.

Long may it continue.

CONDITIONS that would usually see the captain elect to bat first after winning the toss greeted players at Morwell Recreation Reserve for the match between Morwell and Moe. The Lions proved to have enough answers, winning 16.17 (113) to 5.12 (42).

It was ‘suns out guns out’ in the first half, as the Tigers and Lions smashed into each other in a physical contest between the neighbouring rivals.

Moe made use of the scoring end toward the Princes Highway in the first quarter, kicking 4.4 to one behind.

Morwell had moments of promise in the second, but the Lions were able to respond to each challenge and continued to mount scoreboard pressure.

The Tigers defence was under siege heading into half-time, and the deficit could well have been greater had Moe not squandered multiple opportunities in front of goal.

Somewhat amazingly, the Lions kicked 5.9 (39) in the second quarter.

Moe got their kicking boots on in the third, and once again utilised the scoring end to full effect, adding four goals and again keeping Morwell to just a single behind.

Lion’s favourite son Clinton Taylor provided a team lifting moment after clunking an overhead mark and nailing a set shot from 40 metres out.

In drawing comparisons, Taylor could be seen as the Gippsland League’s equivalent to Stuart Dew, making a comeback to senior football most (probably including him) thought would never happen.

While the quarter-by-quarter scores might have suggested otherwise, the third quarter was Moe’s most dominant.

The Lions got their forward-handball game up and running and players found acres of space around 70-60 metres from goal to allow forwards such as Harry Pepper to either hit up or work the fat side.

Pepper kicked a goal on three-quarter-time following a mark that was deemed by umpire Mark Smith to be taken a fraction of a section before the siren.

In a nice touch, the senior Smith was field umpire and his son Liam ran the boundary.

Moe led by 70 points at the final change, and with the result beyond doubt, played the final quarter out as Morwell added a couple of consolation goals late in the piece.

The Tigers found honest contributions from Cody Macdonald, Dan Musil, Riley Loprese, Brandon McDonald, Sam Walsh and James Jacobsen in his 100th game.

On a slightly more positive note, there was a quite telling moment in the third quarter when Josh Galea courageously went back with the flight against Moe opponent James Blaser.

After the ball had cleared you could tell Blaser had respect for the way in which Galea had not shirked the contest even though his side was more than 10 goals down at the time.

It is moments like that onlookers can often tell which players are tough enough to play at the level.

New Moe recruit Matt Barrand kicked four goals to be named best, along with Brock Smith, Harry Pepper (six goals), Grady Cocksedge, Riley Baldi and Ben Daniher.

For Morwell, while the characteristics of a young side mean you often get scored against quickly, something that did stand out was the way in which the ball was butchered by foot.

One had to feel sorry for the Tiger forwards as on numerous occasions the ball was either hacked inside 50 or came in rotating like helicopter blades.

Lefties do it better: Morwell’s Nathan Noblett kicks for goal against Moe.

Away from the match there was a couple of items that perhaps warrant some intervention from Latrobe City.

While it was certainly beach weather on Saturday, this might have been taken a bit too literally as the oval was covered in just about as much sand as grass, leaving players with multiple grazes to go with singlet tans.

The absence of netting behind the goals at the Princes Highway end also led to numerous delays. At least one ball was lost in the seniors and a new one was called for in the reserves. To those unaware, there is a drain and section of long grass behind the goals at Morwell that makes looking for the ball like the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Gippsland League general manager Daniel Heathcote was even forced to retrieve the ball himself during the senior match. With balls costing at least $150 a pop, one could sympathise with the league GM in being so insistent on finding the Sherrin.

The netting was taken down for the recent AFL match between Collingwood and Hawthorn to allow television crews to shoot down-the-ground footage.

One would hope common sense prevails and the netting is reinstalled as a matter of urgency, as well as the surface brought up to standard.

Surely the region is serious about hosting Commonwealth Games events after all.

TRARALGON powered to an emphatic victory over Drouin.

The Maroons were never troubled away from home, and ended up winning 28.14 (182) to 9.7 (61).

Star Traralgon recruit Brett Eddy dominated, kicking 10 goals, while playingcoach Jake Best nabbed seven.

The benefits of such a huge win saw the Maroons take their percentage from 88.1 to 195.00, which could well prove decisive when places in the finals are set in stone in the latter part of the season.

Traralgon took full control of the contest after quarter time, adding 11 goals to one in the second quarter.

Taking an 82-point lead into the sheds, the Maroons kept piling on the pain for the Hawks.

At three quarter time the margin was 101 points, and at full time it was 121.

While some might question the purpose of a team winning by so much, it is this ruthlessness that is generally needed to compete and contend in matches that have more at stake.

The difference between good teams and formidable teams can often be seen in how they finish games once it is clear they are going to win.

A good team would have taken the 82-point lead Traralgon had at half-time and been happy to park the bus and end up winning by 60 points. However, a formidable team would have done as the Maroons did, and kept working to see that they won by as big a margin as possible.

Best said he was happy his side was able to put in a solid performance.

“It was good to get the first win out of the way, every game in the Gippsland League is a hard-fought win so it was pleasing that we could score quite heavily,” he said.

“There was still elements of the game we need to tidy up but it was a good performance.

“There is a huge hunger within the group this year, we saw that over the preseason with the way the guys worked, there is a real hunger to improve every week and build momentum.”

The Maroons had a couple of debutants in Baxter Kennedy and Josh Palmer, both of whom Best said showed good signs, while the coach was afforded the opportunity to throw the magnets around and try players

in different positions given the one-sided nature of the contest.

Best for the winners was Eddy, Mark Collison, Tom Schneider, Matt Northe, Harvey Neocleous and Best.

Tim Hancock, Tom Barr and Harry Wans battled hard for Drouin.

Traralgon is still unable to play games at home following damage from last year’s flood, although it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise as the Maroons will get more home games in the second half of the season, which could assist a run to the finals.

“The ground (at Traralgon) is in good condition, just the changerooms aren’t there yet,” Best said.

“The playing group has been good, even during the floods when we had to train elsewhere they haven’t whinged or anything, they understand it is an annoying situation but the guys are concentrating and we’ll get those home games in the back end.”

The win capped off a memorable 100th senior match for Traralgon captain Dylan Loprese. As is tradition at the Maroons, players are given the honour of having their name engraved on their locker upon reaching 100 senior games.

Traralgon players, officials and supporters gathered on Saturday night to toast Loprese.

Club president Kevin Foley and teammate Matt Northe spoke, before his name was unveiled on the number 26 locker.

Best paid tribute to the Maroons skipper, saying he was deserving of the plaudits.

“It was a special day for Dylan, he has had a really interesting journey at the club and is well respected,” he said.

“He is doing a tremendous job as leader of our footy club so it was good to see him get his 100th and name up on the locker.”

THE old adage that ‘first team to 100 wins’ didn’t quite ring true in the match between Warragul and Wonthaggi.

The reason being was that the game in fact ended in a 106-all draw at Western Park.

In what was a very high scoring game for a draw, the Power and Gulls could not be separated when the final siren sounded, with the scoreboard reading 16.10 (106) apiece.

Wonthaggi looked to have the upper hand when it led by 20 points at three quarter time, and stretched that lead further at the start of the last.

Warragul however refused to lie down, and hit back to level the scores deep into red time.

The contest was left on a knife’s edge as a stoppage occurred inside Wonthaggi’s forward 50 with scores all tied up. From there, the ball bobbled around frantically among flaying arms as precious seconds ticked away before the siren rang out an almost deathly silence across the ground.

Such was the mayhem that ensued, Power forward Ryan Sparkes thought he had kicked the winning point, only to go from ecstasy to agony in an instant.

Former AFL player Jed Lamb kicked six goals for Warragul, while Sean Masterson, Cooper Alger and Chris Raso played well.

Best for Wonthaggi was Aiden Lindsay, Mitch Hayes and Jack Hutchinson.

THE well-oiled machine that is Leongatha took care of Sale with relative ease.

The visiting Parrots strolled away after the main break on their way to a 15.19 (109) to 6.8 (42) win.

The Magpies kicked only one goal between quarter time and the last break, during which time the Parrots did the bulk of their damage.

While Leongatha might have gone into the match favourites, it is unlikely anyone saw a 67-point margin coming, especially considering the class of players within the Sale team.

Jack Hume led the scoring for Leongatha with four, along with Aaron Hillberg who nabbed three. Both were named in the best for their side, as was Cade Maskell, Tom Marriott and Will Littlejohn.

Jack and Will Leslie were best for Sale.

Lachlan Todd, Cooper Whitehill, Jackson Glenane and Jonty McGuiness impressed.

MAFFRA was too strong for Bairnsdale.

The Redlegs took it up to the Eagles for a half, but fell away after the main break to lose by 53 points 19.12 (126) to 10.13 (73).

Playing at Maffra, Bairnsdale would have entertained thoughts of a win when it went into half-time with a 10-point lead, however, the Eagles then piled on eight goals to two in the third to take back the ascendency.

A further six goals in the final quarter made sure of the result for Maffra, who again found goals from Daniel Bedggood who kicked five and Mitch Bennett who slotted four.

Kade Renooy was damaging across half back, while the somewhat elusive name of former Port Adelaide forward John Butcher made an appearance in the goalkickers column with two.

State honour for Sharp

SOCCER

By LIAM DURKIN

LOCAL soccer identity Adam Sharp was recently inducted as a life member of Football Victoria.

Sharp was bestowed with the honour at Football Victoria’s annual meeting, where his services to the game were officially enshrined for generations to come.

The Morwell resident has spent more than four decades as a referee, not only officiating but also developing and assisting those coming up through the ranks.

Such length of service has seen him chalk up more than 700 matches, rubbing shoulders with countless number of Latrobe Valley Soccer League players, coaches and staff.

If you have played in the LVSL in the last 30 years, there is a good chance Sharp has been your referee.

The man himself said he was thankful to soccer for the journey it had provided him.

“I am very honoured, you get a lot of enjoyment out of refereeing,” he said.

“Refereeing is a way of giving something back.”

Sharp was brought to the Latrobe Valley in 1987 through his work as a teacher, continuing a refereeing career that started five years earlier.

Prior to taking up the whistle, he played soccer in Melbourne and Bendigo, making appearances for Golden City and Prahran Slavia.

Over the years Sharp said there has been no shortage of highlights, with the progression of a number of local referees to greater levels and the days of the Morwell Falcons playing in the National Soccer League standing out.

“It was very exciting, I remember these stands (at Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium) full of 5000 people, it was brilliant,” he said of Falcons’ NSL games.

“I wasn’t refereeing in the centre at that stage, I was doing some lines and mainly Premier League.

“Several of the A-League referees I’ve mentored one way or another.

“We’ve been lucky enough to have two women referees from the branch who have gone onto women’s A-League in Catherine Hoffman and Jasmine Steger.

“The standard of refereeing here (in Latrobe), some of it is as high as anywhere in Melbourne.”

Sharp retired from refereeing six years ago, but is still contributing to the discipline through coaching, continuing in a role he has served since 2002.

A particularly noteworthy initiative Sharp introduced was the ‘Green Shirt Program’ for learning referees.

Sharp said it was gratifying to know the soccer community was becoming more aware of how important referees were to the game.

“We have to give credit to Football Victoria, the resourcing has improved out of sight,” he said.

“Football Victoria has not only resourced more referees they’ve given us better training, what they have done has made sure everybody is on the same page - all of Victoria, the training materials are very consistent.

“Without referees there is no game - and without good referees there is no good game.”

In terms of his own refereeing style, Sharp said

it was a matter for others to evaluate, although he did provide a few insights into how he has gone about his business.

“A good referee allows the game to flow, takes sanctions when they should and most importantly, a good referee manages people,” he said.

“Cards are there only when you need them. I don’t believe that you use cards to control, you use other means.

“It can be hard which is why all referees are thankful for the support they get because it is lonely in the middle sometimes.

“You can only please half the team, half the time and half the spectators.

“Professionalism, integrity and teamwork are so important in refereeing, we have each other’s back and the idea is that we develop a standard.”

Sharp was nominated for the life membership

by Latrobe Valley Referees Group Referees Appointment Officer Branch Executive Andrew Riess.

“All the work he has put in developing younger referees in our region, but also statewide, I thought he deserved that recognition for all the work he has put in,” Riess said.

“When I first started I had a number of coaches

and Adam was one of them, he helped me develop into the referee I am today, and probably the person I am today as well.”

Possessing a calm demeanour which has undoubtedly allowed him to thrive as a referee, Sharp joked others told him he needed to “get a bit angry” over the years.

Nevertheless, when asked what makes a good referee, Sharp said a number of vital factors would always hold true.

“What makes a good referee is respect for the game, understanding the stakeholders, that is the players, the club, the spectators, and knowing what is expected from them as well as the ability to sell a decision. The idea of selling a decision is to do with positioning and fitness, to be able to be there to be able to sell it.

“A good referee is one that isn’t noticed - same in any sport. You are there to facilitate a really good game, you are not there to take over.”

Sharp said he would love to see more people take up refereeing.
