LATROBE City Council will share in almost $3 million to prevent family violence and all forms of violence against women.

The region is known as having one of the worst rates of domestic violence in all of Victoria.

Latrobe Valley recorded 2637 family violence incidents from September 2022 to September 2023.

Those figures were an increase of 4.8 per cent from the previous year.

In comparison to the rest of the state, the family incident rate per 100,000 population for the Valley (3375.9) was more than double the state average of 1371.

Though there have been many reforms regarding family violence since the Royal Commission was released in 2016, the region’s rate of incidents continues to grow.

On Wednesday, February 21 the state government announced councils around

the state would deliver a range of initiatives as part of the Free from Violence Local Government Program 2024-27.

The councils will deliver programs and activities that will help people in the community understand the role they can play in making their community safer.

Latrobe City Council will receive $250,000 over a three-year period that will go towards developing and delivering training programs.

The state government believe that as large employers with unique connections to their local communities, councils are well placed to support communities to both prevent family violence and stop violence against women.

This funding from the state government is the second round of the program, which is currently supporting 15 councils to carry out primary prevention initiatives in their local area.

The state government said these grants are an important part of their nation-leading work to end family violence.

Member for Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing said family violence prevention programs were vital to keep people safe.

“Family violence remains one of the most challenging and devastating law and order issues in Australia and funding more family violence prevention programs across communities in Latrobe City will play an important role in making and keeping people safe,” she said.

“Every Victorian - no matter their age or address - has the right to be treated with respect at home, work or in their community.”

Latrobe City Council welcomed the funding and was eager to continue its work to prevent family violence.

“The Family Violence Prevention Funding will support council to adopt an overarching, strategic and structured approach to primary prevention of family violence and the promotion of gender equity across the workplace and community. This model will complement council’s work to date in this area, and will include training and awareness

activities, and advocacy for positive change,” a council spokesperson said.

“This will be facilitated by a new part time three-year position based at Latrobe City Council.

“Council will work closely with the community to implement this program.

Family violence prevention funding will support foundational and consistent advocacy across the Latrobe City community, regarding the drivers of family violence and violence against women.

“It would also support the actions of the council’s Gender Equality Action Plan and the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan with a primary prevention focus, and boost understanding for the need to consider primary prevention in council’s service delivery.”

Council are currently engaged in many programs for primary prevention, which includes support for the Victoria Against Violence campaign and the United Nations 16 Days of Activism activities.

Wind farm: AGL receives preliminary selection

By PHILIP HOPKINS

A GROUP of leading companies including AGL has been preliminary selected to build wind farms off the Gippsland coast to drive renewable energy in Victoria, The Australian newspaper reported last week.

The group, which could still change as an official decision is still weeks away, will be the lead developers of wind energy, which will generate about 20 per cent of the state's energy needs within a decade under the state government's plans. This will double to 4 gigawatts by 2035 and 9GW by 2040.

Companies that have been preliminary awarded a "feasibility licence" are Star of the South, which is Australia's most advanced offshore wind operation, and a consortium including AGL Energy. The consortium also includes the Norwegian giant Orsted and the Japanese-owned Parkwind, The Australian said.

All parties declined to comment, all having signed non-disclosure agreements during the bidding process.

Feasibility licenses give projects exclusive rights over a part of the region for seven years, which is deemed critical for attracting investment.

Parkwind is owned by JERA, Japan's largest power generation company, which last month acquired a 15.1 per cent stake in Woodside's Scarborough LNG project - all part of Japan's aim to secure its energy supplies.

In contrast, the Japanese-owned Flotation Energy, was left off the list of preliminary licence holders, The Australian said. Flotation is owned by one of Japan's largest companies, Tokyo Electric Power Company, and had what was regarded as Australia's second most advanced offshore wind development.

The Australian said it believed Flotation energy had tried to lobby the federal Labor government to reverse its decision, with senior Japanese

executives travelling to Canberra. "The list of winners could swell if projects facing boundary disputes, such as those of Origin, Shell and Energy Australia, can adjust their boundaries," the newspaper said. "Those in boundary disputes still do not know who they are vying with for the same part of the ocean. Oncie informed, parties are expected to have 30 days to strike an agreement."

The Australian said the government hoped that about 10 developers will be able to begin work on the wind energy projects.

Apart from its specific targets, Victoria sees the potential for 13GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050, five times the current renewable generation in Victoria.

Victoria still generates 60 per cent of its energy from Latrobe Valley brown coal, but Energy Australia's Yallourn power station is due to close in 2028 and AGL's Loy Yang A power station by 2035.

$3 million to go toward preventing family violence From Page 1

IN addition, in partnership with Gippsland Women’s Health (GWH), four council employees are trained to facilitate Active Bystander training.

The $250,000 from the state government will allow council to work closer with GWH, Latrobe Community Health and Genderworks to share knowledge regarding primary prevention.

It will also allow council to fund more participation and support to community events, develop new programs and assist responding to resistance.

It is intended that the primary prevention program will set its focus on council as a workplace for the first year, laying foundations towards the other three domains of influence in subsequent years. These domains of influence include council as leaders and decision makers, council as a connector and council as a service provider.

With the alarming rates of family violence and gendered violence in the region, some in the community are calling for more urgent action from the state government to help solve the issue.

With many reports of multiple, month-long social housing waits for victims and countless headlines

of crimes against women and children, family violence continues to plague the region.

Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron said the Valley was in a family violence crisis.

“We are certainly in the midst of a family violence crisis and breaches of family violence orders were the most frequently recorded offence in Latrobe last year,” he said.

“Perhaps most concerning is that these figures only include incidents where police were called for assistance, whereas research suggests that many incidents of family violence go unreported.”

Mr Cameron said considering the disproportionately high rates of family violence in the Valley, $250,000 over three years wouldn't be enough to help the issue.

“We need to see a focus on prevention of family violence rather than focusing only on support after-the-fact. This begins with our whole community but also requires support and action from government,” he said.

“The state government needs to adequately fund these agencies so they can deliver critical support that is more needed than ever.”

Cadet receives a gold commendation

By KATRINA BRANDON

ONE out of three and one in 27 years is a massive accomplishment.

Cadet Sergeant, Gabrielle Bonnici has achieved this by completing a Summer Cadet Warrant Officers course, and was presented with a gold commendation for her efforts.

The Kurnai College student is the first female to ever receive this honour within the Australian Air Force Cadets program.

“I heard my name presented on the graduation parade, in front of all of the parents and families, and I was like, ‘me?’ It was just a bit of a surprise,” she said.

“It’s the modern version of a promotion course, so personal development and leadership courses, and I went for the rank of cadet warrant officer, which is really intense. It pushed people to the limit, especially with the time frame we had with the new program.”

Gabrielle, who is in Year 12, told the Express the program has helped her in many ways, and is helping her get closer to her dream.

“It’s not about changing you to an Air Force or Defence Force member, it’s trying to change you to be a better person for the rest of your life,” she said.

“With cadets, it is completely amazing. It gave me purpose in what I wanted to do with my life because I just looked at what I was doing before I started cadets. After all, before, I was a ‘ratbag’.

“When I came into the system, there was more than I ever thought that we did. We fly planes and all that like people expect us to do, but we learn survival, we learn how to shoot, we learn how to load guns, and we learn heaps of intense stuff. It’s really fun if you want to get your hands dirty.”

The program runs every Friday afternoon in Morwell. The program is also an alternative learning style for some subjects where students might have failed in a classroom but excelled during their time as cadets. Gabrielle told the Express that subject for her was physics, but air cadets and learning about aviation in the way that flight works helped her a lot with that subject.

According to Gabrielle, the opportunity to enter the cadet program starts in Year 7, and you can stay until you are in Year 12.

After completing the time as cadets, there is an opportunity to reapply to be a part of the system as a staff member.

All schools around the area are able to take on this opportunity.

The cadet program is also not always about being super serious, as Gabrielle explained.

“We have also been trained on when to be serious and relax to have some fun," she said.

"So, in classrooms, it won’t be like your average teacher going and talking to a whiteboard. It’s us actually getting you involved and having fun, having a bit of competition with each other. The only time we are serious will be with our serious stuff like parades or, for example, when we have to get it done in a certain amount of order and respect frame."

Meta announcement a huge blow to regional news, putting jobs at risk COMMENT

BY ANDREW SCHREYER

AUSTRALIA'S largest organisation of newspaper publishers has attacked the announcement by Meta that it will no longer negotiate deals with publishers once current agreements expire.

Country Press Australia represents more than 230 regional, rural and outer suburban publications across the nation.

The organisation was recently advised through an email from Meta that “our company priorities have substantially shifted in the past year and, as a result, we will no longer be making Facebook News Tab available in Australia”.

Meta also confirmed “This doesn’t affect our agreement with Country Press Australia which will continue in accordance with its terms and conditions until it expires”.

In a subsequent meeting between Country Press Australia and Meta, it was made clear that Country Press Australia’s agreement with Meta would not be renewed.

This is a devastating blow to our members who are party to the agreement.

All are publishers of regional and local public interest journalism.

Meta has been providing grants to Country Press Australia publishers which has provided vital sustainability.

There will be publishers who close the doors and won’t be able to continue supporting their communities with news in the wake of this announcement.

These regional and local publishers are the major, and in most cases sole, providers of local public interest journalism in their communities.

In times of trouble and in emergency situations, such as during floods and in major bushfire events, the local publisher’s Facebook page is never more important or appreciated by people in our communities.

Meta’s actions undermine our democracy in the way the company displays such disdain for the work of the news industry. It also undermines public confidence in the media sector.

The most popular Facebook pages in most regional and rural communities are those of the local news publishing company, yet Meta says people don’t go to Facebook for news or political content.

What about in times of bushfire and floods or when the chips are down and someone in the community needs help? Local experience would suggest otherwise.

If, by Meta’s own admission, Australians don’t go to Facebook for news or political content, then the federal government should heed the advice of Meta and immediately cease advertising on Meta’s platforms.

Sadly, jobs will definitely be lost as a result of Meta’s decision, but it’s hard to put a number on this.

Given the already well-documented challenges our industry faces (major cost increases for newsprint, ink, energy and the decline in federal government advertising spend), this announcement will force many publishers to confront the issues ahead of them and cut staff.

The reaction from our members in the aftermath of the announcement has been one of deep concern, alarm and even anger.

The federal government must act to give assurance to our industry and to support the democratic infrastructure that is the newspaper industry.

And it needs to move swiftly, decisively and with purpose.

We need government to support the news industry and invoke the news media bargaining code.

Our government must also do what it can to assure Australians that the government values the news industry’s role in our democracy to mitigate disruptions to the news industry.

Facebook reaped the benefits of our members’ unique local content for many years, and has paid those local and regional publishers for only the last three years and will now not renew their agreement with Country Press Australia.

A democracy cannot function without a healthy news sector, and this is now heavily at risk in regional and local communities after Meta’s decision.

It is important that the federal government responds swiftly to this decision and considers all possible action including designating Meta under the News Media Bargaining Code and other options available to them and the ACCC. It is vital that news media is adequately compensated for the content that Facebook has been able to build their business from over many years and ensure a strong and robust news media industry which is vital for a healthy democracy.

It is also vital that the federal government ensures strong support of the industry now more than ever before and ensures the News Media Assistance Program (News MAP) is finalised urgently.

Andrew Schreyer is the president of Country Press Australia.

Three local teenagers arrested

MOORABBIN Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a group of Latrobe Valley teenagers following an aggravated burglary in Brighton on the morning of Tuesday, March 5.

Investigators have been told four children attended a residential property on South Road, Brighton, in an allegedly stolen Volkswagen Golf at about 5am.

It will be alleged the group entered the residence before being frightened off by the occupants of the property and fleeing in the Volkswagen.

That vehicle was followed by the Air Wing and the group was observed meeting up with a fifth person driving a Volkswagen Amarok, allegedly stolen from Railway Avenue, Brighton.

The two vehicles travelled together and were followed by police, reaching speeds allegedly in excess of 150 kilometres per hour before the Amarok was abandoned in Stella Avenue, Noble Park.

All five people then fled together in the Volkswagen Golf.

Police continued to follow that car as it drove at dangerous speeds to the Rowville area.

Stop sticks were successfully deployed on Armstrong Road and the group ran from the scene but were swiftly arrested by responding officers with the assistance of canine units and the Air Wing.

A 14-year-old Moe boy has since been charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail. He is understood to have faced a childrens court on Tuesday.

A 15-year-old boy from Morwell has been charged with theft of motor vehicle and will face a childrens court at a later date.

A 15-year-old Noble Park boy has been charged with two counts of theft of motor vehicle, dangerous driving whilst being pursued by police and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.

He will face a childrens court at a later date.

POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding criminal damage to a pub in Morwell on Sunday, January 21, 2024.

Willow Grove hay shed fire

A LARGE shed fire near Balfours Road and Willow Grove Rd in Willow Grove broke out at 9.15am on Thursday, March 7.

The fire generated smoke in the area, with Vic Emergency releasing a warning to the public not to be alarmed as emergency crews were attempting to extinguish the fire.

The Emergency alert said the fire was not likely to spread into nearby grassland, but a community stay informed alert was issued.

The fire was considered under control by 10.14am.

It took nine emergency response vehicles to extinguish the fire.

GERF provide relief funding

THE Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund is still providing significant financial assistance to families impacted by the storm which tore through Gippsland a month ago.

Having already dealt with more than 50 referrals for severely damaged or uninhabitable residences, GERF will continue to provide much needed emergency funding to even more families, farms and businesses who are still suffering from storm damage.

GERF President, Andy Tegart said donations would be ongoing.

“We have received $300,000 in donations and we

$ " " !$ ! ! ! # ! ! $ $ " " ! ! ! " " ! " ! !$ " !$

have already distributed over $200,000 to eligible residents," he said.

"However we know that amount will continue to grow over coming weeks, so we are relying on the ongoing generous support of donors large and small.

Donations to the appeal can be easily made via the GERF website (gerf.org.au) and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

“Every dollar donated to the appeal is distributed to those who suffered property damage during the storm. Your donation will be helping us to help others in their time of need," Mr Tegart said.

Community urged to report illegal firearms CRIME Stoppers Victoria and Victoria Police have joined forces in a new campaign aimed at removing illegal firearms from the Victorian community.

The campaign, ‘Say Something Before It's Too Late,’ raises awareness about the dangers of illegal firearms and urges the public to protect themselves and those around them by reporting what they know to Crime Stoppers.

Data from the Crime Statistics Agency shows there were 5126 firearm related incidents in Victoria in 2023.

Crime Stoppers Chief Executive, Stella Smith explained why Crime Stoppers was the right organisation to partner with Victoria Police to tackle this important issue.

"Crime Stoppers Victoria plays a crucial role in our community by providing a safe and anonymous way for people to report crime," she said.

"Last year we shared over 1800 firearms reports

Bang bang: Victoria Police Detective Superintendent, State Anti-Gangs, Jason Kelly and Crime Statistics Agency Representative, Catherine Palermo want to see illegal guns Photograph supplied taken off the street.

to Victoria Police for further investigation, so we know people have information they are willing to share.

“Illegal firearms mean dangerous shootings, thefts, and other violent acts that can put you and your family at risk.

"With over 200,000 illegal firearms still in the community, now is the time to say something before it is too late.”

This campaign seeks to stop the harm caused by illegal firearms by encouraging the public to report what they know.

Recent efforts by Victoria Police have resulted in more than 1500 illegal firearms removed from the hands of criminals in 2023.

‘Say Something Before It’s Too Late’ aims to assist police through community intelligence provided to Crime Stoppers about illicit firearms activity in the community.

"We understand the community’s concern when it comes to gun-related violence, and we are taking strong action to target those responsible and prevent further harm," Victoria Police Detective Superintendent, State Anti-Gangs, Jason Kelly said.

The introduction of the Illicit Firearms Squad in 2020 and the VIPER Taskforce in 2022 has enhanced Victoria Police's ability to combat illegal firearms-related offending, particularly concerning serious and organised crime.

Last year, Victoria Police removed more than 1500 illicit firearms from the streets.

There is absolutely no doubt that some of those seizures have prevented people being seriously injured or even killed.

Over the past 12 months, Crime Stoppers Victoria has processed more than 107,000 reports, averaging one new report every five minutes.

“We need the community to continue this amazing work and come forward with any information they may have on someone with an illegal firearm," Ms Smith said.

Community safety is the main priority, so if you know or suspect someone is in possession of an illegal firearm, report it to Crime Stoppers Victoria before it’s too late.

Crime Stoppers can be phoned on 1800 333 000.

TO celebrate International Women’s Day, AGL Loy Yang, alongside business partners, hosted the first-ever Gippsland Women in Industry Network Launch on Tuesday, March 5.

Strong women from across heavy industry congregated at the AGL Loy Yang Learning Centre to celebrate success, discuss challenges, and discuss the future.

The room was full of high-visibility plaid women, showcasing the growing female workforce in Gippsland.

The day was definitely seen as a celebration and an opportunity - many women caught up with old colleagues from old workplaces or took the time to make new connections across businesses.

The discussion was lively and articulate, as the experienced panellists shared their experiences in their respective workforces with the rest of the crowd.

Pepper Coles, Training and Development Coordinator at Loy Yang B, Alinta Energy, said when she started out in the industry, she felt as if people perceived her as nothing but a recruitment quota fulfilled.

“When I started at Yallourn, we came as the all-female recruitment - so there was a lot of stigma attached to that,” she said.

Having been a part of six female recruits, Ms Coles said she was fortunate she had her support base around her to navigate a male-dominated field.

“The expectation was almost that we were going to fail … but then on a personal level moving across to proving them wrong, working ourselves to the bone to prove that wrong - probably working harder than anyone else had to,” she added.

She told the room that she internalised the feeling that “you didn’t achieve the job on your merit; you achieved it because of your gender."

“To me, I work harder to prove that wrong, but with that being said, that’s a lot to carry, so it’s about finding that balance - the biggest challenge I’ve faced,” she said.

Inspiring stories of women overcoming gender barriers filled the room as panellists discussed their careers.

For Siobhan Kinman, a fourth-year apprentice electrician at AGL Loy Yang, she loves the variety of jobs she gets to do onsite and the specialised skills she gets to learn in the industry.

“They’re hiring you because you’re right for the job and I think that’s something that needs to be

pushed through to the new apprentices coming through … you are here because you earned it and you’re here because you’re meant to be here," she said to the other women in the room.

Julia Heslop, Jeeralang Asset Leader at EnergyAustralia, took the time to share her challenges in a leadership role when her previous station overseas shut down. She explained the troubles she had trying to find her authentic self when leading many men into an uncertain future.

“What I really love is setting myself a challenge that’s going to be really, really hard, and striving to overcome all those barriers,” she said.

Linda Austin, the director of educational delivery at TAFE Gippsland, also addressed the crowd, regarding the many exciting opportunities training and development has provided for these skilled women and how she wishes to see more female representation in heavy industry.

Many women at the event remarked that it was a wonderful day and an opportunity to establish those integral networks and have those tough conversations to help women navigate a maledominated industry.

The industry partners are considering making the networking event a reoccurring date on the calendar to help forge women’s equality.

Doctor Louise Mahler was the guest speaker for the event.

One of the leading body language and communication experts in the world, Dr Mahler engaged the audience - teaching the emerging leaders in the room skills to obtain that 'Gravitas' and remain confident, even in a male-dominated workplace.

Attendees learnt the art of body language and how to master the handshake.

Tequa Plumbing & Civil's Department Manager, Bernadette Dillon said the Tequa team thoroughly enjoyed the event.

"The day provided a practical approach with women in the field candidly talking about their experiences and successes," she said.

"Louise, the keynote speaker, with her very lively demonstration, had the room engaging in practical situations. We all walked away feeling positive and confident on conducting ourselves in work meetings."

Many guests remarked that they had never experienced such a positive day to celebrate women in the industry.

The team at AGL Loy Yang hopes to continue this networking event and facilitate ways to support women at work, not just on International Women's Day, but every day of the year.

RESULTS are in for the 2023/24 White-bellied Seaeagle breeding survey across the Gippsland Lakes funded through the Love Our Lakes program.

The summer census was the first in a two year monitoring project of the birds across their breeding season.

Results will inform the next instalment of population surveys in the Gippsland Lakes completed every 10 years that date back to 1978.

The project is being coordinated by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action in partnership with BirdLife Australia.

Over summer, BirdLife Australia and Birdlife East Gippsland went out in the field and carried out 44 inspections of 29 Sea-eagle nests. Wetland Bird Program Coordinator for BirdLife Australia, Dr Bradley Clarke-Wood said the majority of nests were closely associated with the Gippsland Lakes, with a few sites identified as far east as Mallacoota.

"Nests were carefully selected based on previous records and supported by local knowledge," he said.

"Through this amazing effort, 12 nests were found to be active with adults displaying behaviour that suggests they are breeding - including nest construction and pairing up or with chicks being seen or heard at the nests."

By December 2023, 16 of the chicks observed had reached a sufficient size to fly and leave the nest - what is known in the bird world as fledging.

"This interim result sees the population holding steady on the 2010 survey. A full comparison and final results will be made after the next round of monitoring is complete in 2025," Dr Clarke-Wood said.

"A highlight of the project over the past summer was the significant involvement of BirdLife East Gippsland in the data collection for this project.

They worked independently and coordinated a high effort survey of nests local to the Gippsland Lakes. This included arranging access with local landholders, where necessary."

Dr Clarke-Wood also thanked the community for sharing their knowledge of nests and adding their observations to the project.

White-bellied Sea-eagles produce one to two eggs between June and September, which are then incubated for around six weeks.

When the eggs hatch, adult birds regularly attend

Birdlife: The White-bellied Sea-eagle in their Photograph supplied nest. the nest to supply the chicks with food. Chicks will fledge from the nest when they are between 10 and 12-weeks-old.

The survey is planned to be repeated in the 2024/25 breeding season and will conclude the study for this decade.

White-bellied Sea-eagles are endangered in Victoria, which makes these surveys very important in their ongoing conservation.

October to December are the most important months for surveying known nest sites, so the survey will pick up again then. In the meantime, stay up to date at loveourlakes.net.au

Victoria’s premier regional agricultural event

3 Days

POLYTROPOS, the duo of Celtic multi-instrumentalists Rennie Pearson and Oscar West, are coming to perform in Gippsland at ARC Yinnar tomorrow (Thursday, March 14).

The pair has been described as two of the finest young musicians and performers of Celtic music to come out of New Zealand.

Following his tour with 'Half Light' at the end of last year, Rennie described their last show at ARC Yinnar as one of the most magical nights of the tour, with a crackling energy that was packed to the gills with enthusiastic locals, many of whom had just been getting warmed up over the road at the pub.

Combining the beautiful and spirited interplay of traditional instruments, Polytropos perform tunes and songs from Scotland, Ireland, France and Canada. Arranging the sounds of the fiddle, flute, guitar, Scottish smallpipes, mandolin, voice and Irish whistles in curious and adventurous ways, their diverse range of tunes will take the listener around the world of traditional music.

Rennie Pearson and Oscar West are masterful, passionate players of Celtic music, arranged in an adventurous, conversational way.

'Polytropos' comes from ancient Greek and appears hundreds of times in Homer’s Odyssey.

Its many possible translations range from 'muchtravelled' to 'many-faced' to 'a thing of many twists and turns'.

"All of these connotations feel perfect to describe

the music we seek to create: dynamic, muchwandering journeys through tunes, songs and a musical tradition that had travelled half a world to reach us in New Zealand".

Polytropos released their first album in 2020.

Since their debut concert at Wellington Folk Festival in 2011, their unique, charismatic stage presence and playing style has been a hit with audiences at festivals and tours across New Zealand and Australia from tiny churches to big stages.

Polytropos perform at ARC Yinnar tomorrow (Thursday, March 14) from 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from renniepearsonmusic. com

Lumen Christi Churchill ll “Having worked in many schools across Gippsland, Melbourne and the UK, it is easy to recognise a special school community. Lumen Christi is the kind of warm school community that you don’t come across very often. Being a small school with small class sizes means that every child is known and experiences more one to one time with teachers and classroom support staff in order to cater to each child’s individual learning needs.

I am incredibly proud of the work we have done in my time here over the past two years as a staff. We have introduced a highly effective evidence-based reading program, we have invested time in ensuring that our children receive impactful and engaging learning experiences and this year, we will continue to build on this as a committed staff and team. I am passionate about education and want to make sure that the children at Lumen Christi experience the very highest quality that we can offer in Student Learning, Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Everyone is welcome at Lumen Christi, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive and safe learning environment for all of our children and their families. Children don’t have to be Catholic to attend our school, however our rich Catholic Education fosters a sense of belonging for each child and family within our school community, one where every child is valued for who they are. Children are at the heart of everything we do here, we have high expectations for all of our staff and students and offer an engaging experience for children to make progress in all areas of their learning”.

Sally Darby, Principal

We offer a warm welcome to anyone interested in joining our Lumen Christi school community. For families holding concession cards, we offer reduced school fees. Please contact the office on 5122 2231 to arrange a school tour at your convenience.

HOROSCOPES Serving up smiles news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore March 11 - March 17, 2024

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Are you confused about which path to follow?

Pay close attention to your nightly dreams. They are full of creative ideas and symbolic wisdom that can lead you in the right direction. Painters, artists, writers, musicians and performers will feel particularly inspired as the Sun, Neptune, Venus and Saturn boost creativity and productivity. Some Rams will bump into a lover from the past. But do you really want to travel down that rocky road again?

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

Don’t become so focused on the busyness and minutiae of day-to-day life that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Look beyond the horizon, Bulls! Being proactive at work, setting short-term and long-term goals, dreaming big dreams and socialising with your extended peer group are the secrets to a successful week. Beyond that, your motto for the future is from birthday great, singer-songwriter James Taylor: “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”

GGemini (May 21 - June 20)

There’s a positive Mercury/Pluto link and no less than seven planets are activating your career and aspirations zones. So it’s time to have ambitious dreams and set humungous goals. Stop procrastinating and, instead, ask yourself an important question: “Do I need to tweak my dreams to make them a more honest reflection of the real me?”

Your motto is from entertainer (and birthday great) Liza Minnelli: “Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Trusting your intuition and helping others are the main themes this week. It’s time to think philosophically and feel an essential part of a wider international community. Your thoughts are important, your words matter, and your actions can make a real difference. Draw inspiration from fellow Cancerian, Princess Diana: “Carry out a random act of kindness,, with no exppectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

The Sun (your patron planet) links up with Neptune in the gentle, mystical sign of Pisces. So slow down and calm down, Cats! Tap into your imaginative, intuitive, spiritual side. Dream a special dream that will propel you into a magical future. And aim to surround yourself with family and friends who support your aspirations and encourage your creativity. Your motto is from birthday great, Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Virgo g (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Mondday favours study, research, intense conversations and solving problems. Attached Virgo – is your relationship stuck in a time-warp where it’s been difficult to move forward? This week’s stars bring a shift in perspective, as you view your partner in a promising new light. Single Virgo – are you sick and tired of looking for love?

Your Prince or Princess is waiting in the wings, but you may have to kiss a few frogs before you finally find them!

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) Venus (your ruling planet) shifts into Pisces, so you’ll be at your flirtatious best as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters. If you’re attached, it’s time to rejuvenate the relationship with some good old-fashioned romance. Single Libra – you could meet your soulmate while you’re doing routine daily chores, like grocery shopping or walking the dog. But be careful your luxury-loving urge to splurge doesn’t spin out of control via a spontaneous spending spree.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21) Monday’s Mercury/Pluto link is good for strategizing, organising work projects and planning the domestic week ahead. For the rest of the week, you’ll feel more inspired than usual as four planets stimulate your self-expression zone. Use the power of your imagination to solve problems and soar into higher realms of creativity. Your motto is from birthday great Albert Einstein: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

Sagittarius g (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Famiily matters and domestic DIY projects are favoured this week, as lucky Venus starts transiting through your home zone. Can you figure out a problem that has got loved ones stymied? They’re expecting you to come up with the goods so get creative! For many Sagittarians, good fortune and family are linked. You’ll also find the more time and effort you put into local travel, education, communication and social media, the more successful you’ll be.

Capricorn p (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Finanncial matters and family conversations are favoured on Monday, and Sunday is a great time for a romantic rendezvous. Venus joins the Sun, Saturn and Neptune in your neighbourhood zone on Tuesday, so the rest of the week is wonderful for fostering positive feelings within your local community. Your motto is from fellow Capricorn, Michelle Obama: “The difference between a broken communityy and a thrivingg one is the presence of women who are valued.”

Aquarius q (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Thee Sun, Venus, Saturn and Neptune are all stimulating your cash zone. Letting finances take their own course seems tempting but you need to keep up to speed with money matters. If you increase your financial literacy then it will pay off handsomely further down the track, as you replace short-term whims with wise long-term strategies.

With Mars visiting your sign (until March 22) you need to be proactive about personal projects and future plans.

YEAR 6 students from St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School recently joined the celebration of Shrove Tuesday at St James’ Church, where they served smiles and pancakes to those in the community.

Students also learnt about the significance of Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, and lent a hand to actively engage in pancake-making.

The community were also entertained by musical and singing performances by students that enhanced the event.

This experience fostered stronger community

connection for the students, with educators aiming to instil a sense of belonging and responsibility in their students.

Back at school, students enjoyed thrilling relay pancake races, showcasing their enthusiasm and pancake prowess through flipping and the occasional dropping.

Thank you to the school’s dedicated Education Support staff who cooked up a pancake storm, ensuring everyone was left with full hearts and stomachs.

Leaders and Enviro Leaders with certificates and badges.

Each of the School Captains have chosen a special project that they will complete throughout the year, ranging from organising and running special lunchtime activities to starting up Friendship Place for all students within the school to access.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Perceptive Pisceans have an uncanny sixth sense.

And you’ll be using it in spades as the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Neptune all meander through your sign.

You’ll feel increasingly inspired, compassionate and/or spiritually inclined. So it’s the perfect time to break out the paint brushes, dance in the moonlight, help someone in need or explore a new spiritual practice. Sunday’s Sun/Neptune hook-up particularly highlights romance, creativity and healing.

Gippsland Grammar opens its doors

GIPPSLAND Grammar will host three Open Days later this month, offering families the opportunity to discover the advantages of the complete ELC-toVCE education offered at the leading independent school's three campuses.

It's a seamless and boutique education for threeyear-olds to emerging adults, and the upcoming Open Days will help locals discover its advantages, according to Principal, Michele Wakeham.

Gippsland Grammar's Bairnsdale Campus includes an Early Learning Centre (ELC), with three and four-year-old kindergarten programs through to Year 6, and will be on show Saturday, March 16 from 9 to 11am.

In Sale, the school's historic junior St Anne's Campus - which also includes an ELC offering three and four-year-old kindergarten programs as well as a Foundation to Year 6 - will host its Open Day on Saturday, March 23 from 9-11am.

The senior Garnsey Campus (Years 7-12) on the Princes Highway will open Saturday, March 23 from 11.30am-1.30pm.

While Gippsland Grammar is one school, each

campus has its own personality that families can explore during the Open Day events.

Located on the banks of Clifton Creek, the Bairnsdale Campus is a growing community with a rural feel that includes campus chickens and a therapy dog.

St Anne's Campus is the historic heart of the school and is known for its red brick buildings and rich history, while Garnsey Campus is dominated by a huge expanse of green open spaces and stateof-the-art facilities including the new Art & Design Centre.

Ms Wakeham will be joined by members of the School's Leadership Team at the Open Days, which includes Deputy Principal, Bo Power, Director of Learning, Lori Field, Head of Bairnsdale Campus, Virginia Evans, Head of St Anne's Campus, Jie Van Berkel and Head of Garnsey Campus, Rohan Jayatilake. Student leaders and teachers will be on hand to share their first-hand experiences.

"At the heart of every organisation are the people who 'learn, live and lead' in the community," Ms Wakeham said.

"Come and meet our people: our students, our teachers and our leadership team."

A highlight of the Bairnsdale and St Anne's Campus Open Days will be the opportunity for families to explore the ELCs, which both offer a three-year-old 'Reception' program and a fouryear-old 'Transition' program and are notable for their age-appropriate programs and both rated as 'exceeding' the National Quality Standard.

At Garnsey, all departments will be represented, including the school's Rowing Program, Performing Arts Department, Year 9 program, and boarding house.

Gippsland Grammar has more than 1100 students enrolled across three campuses in Sale and Bairnsdale which includes a boarding house with full-time and casual options and private daily bus options for students from Yarram district, East Gippsland and Latrobe Valley.

Ms Wakeham recommended that families attending the Garnsey Campus Open Day, time their visit around the 'Leadership Presentations' which will take place in the Lecture Theatre at 11.45am, and

Providing a platform for young people to be heard THE ABC’s Takeover program is heading to the Latrobe Valley in 2024.

A partnership between the ABC, VicHealth, the state government, and the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), Takeover offers young people a platform for their unique voices and perspectives to be heard and celebrated.

Coming: A new show detailing the lives of Latrobe Valley youth will air on ABC.

Photograph supplied

ABC Director of News, Justin Stevens said that the ABC is proud of its longstanding history working in regional areas to bring stories to a national audience.

“Takeover is a wonderful opportunity to showcase and give a voice to a diverse group of young people who grew up in regional areas," he said.

"This helps the ABC tell a more complete picture of our nation from communities everywhere."

Winners from Takeover Latrobe Valley will work with experienced ABC staff to produce their stories, which will be shared across ABC platforms.

In September 2024, the winners will take part in the Takeover Latrobe Valley Youth Summit, where they will continue to develop ideas to make their community an even better place for young people.

Minister for Youth, Natalie Suleyman, is passionate about opportunities for young people in regional Victora.

“Opportunities like Takeover give communities a chance to really celebrate young people and everything they contribute,” she said.

“I can’t wait to hear what the young people of the Latrobe Valley have to say and what matters to them.”

Executive Manager Health Promotion Systems of VicHealth, Michelle Murray, agrees that creating space for young people to share their unique stories is extremely important.

“Providing a safe space for young people to speak their truth is a powerful way for young people in regional areas to feel more connected with their community,” she said.

“VicHealth is proud to support Takeover Latrobe Valley and we’re looking forward to engaging with young people from the region and hear their ideas for the future.”

Through FRRR, community funding will be

available after the Takeover program to bring the youth-developed ideas to life in their community.

“Young people in the country grow up in an environment with opportunities and challenges that are unique to them,” FRRR Chief Executive, Natalie Egleton said.

“We're thrilled to support this opportunity for youth to voice their ideas and take action.

"Those whose stories are shared will convene at a summit in September to brainstorm ways to create positive change and we’ll be backing them to implement them in their community."

High school-aged students can submit entries via the Takeover Latrobe Valley website from early March.

Lowanna student going above and beyond

LOWANNA College Year 11 student, Noah Parkinson was recently awarded the Moe Lions Club Young Citizen of the Year Award at the 2024 Australia Day ceremony.

Noah was recognised for his volunteer work in both sustainability and the environment and has a long list of other ventures that made up part of his nomination.

Last year, he represented the Sustainability Awards Event (RSS) in Melbourne and helped run the display stand.

As an ambassador for Lowanna, he interacted and explained the program to students, teachers, politicians and other dignitaries from other schools.

His knowledge about the wicking garden program, and the Student Leadership for Sustainability program is extensive, and he was able to engage all people about the program.

He explained how the Lowanna wicking gardens were up to 70 per cent more water efficient than a normal garden, about how the program could benefit the community by enabling food to be grown

at home and therefore increase community food security.

Noah participated in Clean Up Australia Day in 2021, 2022 and 2023. He has also volunteered to supervise other students and help clean up Ollerton Bushland Reserve.

The young Lowanna student has invited Shane Mynard; Commander of Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV), to present six sessions of Emergency Fire and Rescue training at the school.

This is where Noah learned about the effects of fire on the environment, fire rehabilitation, fire extinguishers, and fire rescue processes, as well as different leadership skills.

As a result of this training, he decided to join the Yallourn North Volunteer Fire Brigade. Alongside the brigade, he has been trained to become a future volunteer firefighter. He is learning skills which will help him save lives in an emergency or a fire.

Noah also has Certified First Aid Training.

The young man gives up much of his spare time to help the community. He contributes to a myriad

of working bees, including a quite literal working bee where students made native bee hotels.

Noah is passionate about sustainability and helped organise an expo all about better living in the community.

The Sustainable Living Expo held in Newborough on Saturday, May 21, 2022 was a huge success, as an educational and interactive learning experience for the community. There was many workshops, including soil moisture retention, how to live plastic free and soil regeneration.

Noah contributed to a 'student created video' project about methods of saving and or purifying water, with a goal to help reduce water waste at the school. The video was then used in an application for the Global High Schools Zayed Sustainability Prize.

Noah is also a member of the Victorian Rifle Association and after much practice, he has reached a level of expertise where he was selected to represent the Moe Rifle Club at the state championships.

Since 2022, Noah has been contributing to community heritage on weekends by assisting the

Walhalla Goldfields Railway, which is a not-forprofit group. He has volunteered his time to work as a conductor, supporting the guard to oversee the safety of passengers.

As a conductor, he also assists passengers, checks tickets and cleans the train prior to passengers embarking and after passengers disembark. Noah also oversees other young trainee conductors to help them understand and perform the duties of their role.

In 2023, Lowanna College teacher’s Daniel Board and Darren Mitchell nominated Noah for the Year 10 ADF Long Tan Leadership and Teamwork Award, which was awarded to him at the college's annual awards night last December.

The criteria for this award was to ‘recognise students who demonstrate leadership and teamwork within both the school and the broader local community. At the same time, they recognise those who display strong values, such as doing one’s best, respect for others and “mateship”, characteristics that are integral to Australian society.’

Open your eyes to the effects of glaucoma

THIS World Glaucoma Week (March 10 to 16), Glaucoma Australia, along with the support of Specsavers, are urging all Australians to have their eyes checked, as it could save precious sight.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide.

It is estimated more than 300,000 Australians have glaucoma, yet 50 per cent are unaware they have it and assume they have healthy eyes.

While vision loss due to glaucoma can’t be restored, early diagnosis and treatment can delay or halt the progression of the disease. This is why early detection is key.

“Booking an eye test is more than just seeing if you need glasses, it also allows us to check the health of your eyes and identify any changes to your vision caused by diseases such as glaucoma," a local optometrist said.

"Early detection and treatment can save sight.

This World Glaucoma Week book an eye test, don’t put it off.”

Glaucoma Australia Chief Executive, Richard Wylie echoed these thoughts.

“Australians need to be aware of the ‘sneak thief of sight’ glaucoma and be reminded to get their eyes checked," he said.

"For patients that are suspected of having glaucoma or receive a glaucoma diagnosis, we provide one-on-one emotional and practical support delivered by qualified orthoptist educators and trained health counsellors. The SiGHTWiSE Program helps patients manage the anxiety around a glaucoma diagnosis and supports them with their ongoing challenges should they be diagnosed with the disease.”

Anyone can develop glaucoma, but the incidence increases with age. About one in 10,000 babies are born with glaucoma; by age 40, about one in 200

people will be diagnosed with the disease, rising to one in eight at age 80.

Glaucoma is hereditary in most cases, and you are 10 times more likely to have glaucoma if you have a direct family member with glaucoma. First-degree relatives of a person with glaucoma have an almost one in four chance of developing glaucoma in their lifetime, and that risk increases to 56 per cent if their glaucoma is advanced, so finding out your family history of the disease is critical.

Glaucoma Australia recommends visiting your optometrist every two years for a comprehensive eye exam for those aged 50 and over, and if you have a family history of glaucoma, get your eyes checked every two years from the age of 40.

Why wait: Locals are being encouraged to have their eyes tested this World Glaucoma Week.

Black Dog Ride breaking down the mental illness barrier THE Latrobe Valley community is being encouraged to get behind the local arm of the iconic 2024 Black Dog Ride, by registering to ride in the 'One Dayer' or participating in local fundraising to help start a national conversation about depression and suicide prevention.

The Black Dog Ride ‘One Dayer’ is a short, one day motorcycle ride to be held in more than 40 communities across Australia this Sunday (March 17).

This year’s Latrobe ride will leave from Gippsland Motorcyclist Club, Traralgon and take participants on a ride across the region, before ending with an afternoon of chats and camaraderie at Healsesville.

There were 6000 participants across the nation in the 2023 One Dayer, but organisers want to encourage more people to get involved in 2024 to make it the biggest event yet.

Local coordinator, Robert Brasher said joining the Black Dog Ride’s One Dayer was

an enjoyable and meaningful way to help the organisation achieve its mission of starting conversations about depression and suicide prevention.

“More than 3000 lives are lost to suicide in Australia every year, and one in five Aussies will be affected by mental illness every year, with three million living with depression or anxiety,” Mr Brasher said.

“The tragic loss of loved ones to suicide is what drives Black Dog Ride to build a community culture of awareness, inclusion and acceptance, and we’d love for more people from the local community to get behind that in 2024.”

By participating in the event, locals will help to break down the barrier of silence and encourage friends, family and colleagues to seek help to manage mental illness so they can lead a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Black Dog Ride Australia General Manager, Lawson Dixon said fostering awareness was the

catalyst for encouraging help seeking behaviour and preventing suicide.

“We’ve been helping Aussies have conversations about mental health and suicide prevention for almost 14 years and we know that every conversation, every activity, every ride and every piece of awareness we help create has the potential to change lives for the better,” he said.

“Last year we were thrilled to have 6000 people across the country register for their local One Dayer rides - this year we’re calling on the community to help us register 8000 riders to help support our cause.”

Money raised will help contribute to the Black Dog Ride Australia Community Grants program, which is focused on supporting initiatives that help people who suffer from mental illness, help prevent suicide, and raise awareness of both mental health and suicide prevention.

The stand-up comedian’s turn as a mullet-haired probate p clerk, known as the “webm master” has seen the Sydneysider’s popu ularity skyrocket.

In this perform mance of his show, If Weren’t FFilmed, Nobody Would Beelieve, Chen showcasses his deadpan humourr, albeit with a smile on his face. f The Have You Been Paying P Attention? favourite has a unique style with his deceptively timid hatty set about the yet ch minuttiae of life, including making friends with taxi driveers and learning to cook online.

After a seven-year wait, the third and final season of this supreme crime thriller lands on free-to-air. Featuring a fascinatingly ordinary protagonist in Yorkshire policewoman Catherine Cawood (played with bewitching emotional dexterity by Sarah Lancashire), this sterling British whodunnit from Sally Wainwright is a masterclass in character-led drama. Damaged and dogged, Cawood’s tragic personal life hasn’t clouded her sense of humour, or her innate sense of justice. In this thrilling six-episode conclusion, it’s seven years later in Cawood’s chaotic life too, with her grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) now 16. In a fulfilling twist, a gangland crime leads Catherine to Ryan’s locked-up father (Grantchester’s James Norton).

Community Corner with Liam Durkin

Rail Trail Pet Walk

THE next pet walk for Companion Pet Care - The Ted Basarke Mercy Foundation, will be held this Sunday (March 17).

This is a leisurely walk on the MoeYallourn Rail Trail starting at 9.30am from the rotunda in the Moe Botanical Gardens (near the tennis club).

Access is via Botanic Drive which is left from Dinwoodie Dr. Everyone is welcome to attend with or without pets, and the gold coin donation we collect goes directly towards the foundation.

The walk offers a great opportunity for social interaction of owners and dogs alike and goes along the trail to Old Sale Road, before returning to the gardens.

This is approximately a threekilometre round trip, however participants can choose the distance they wish to cover and walk at their own pace.

Morning tea is provided at the conclusion of the walk.

The Ted Basarke Mercy Foundation Inc is a charitable organisation operating in the Latrobe Valley.

The foundation recognises the very important role of companion pets in promoting human health and wellbeing, and social inclusion.

The registered charity assists owners who are financially vulnerable by subsidising veterinary care.

Any donations to support the Foundation would be greatly appreciated, and can be made by direct deposit into the Bendigo Bank account The Ted Basarke Mercy Foundation (BSB 633000, Acc No. 132483561).

OUR next club monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, March 14.

The meeting will be held at the Anglican Hall, 100 Grey Street, Traralgon.

Field naturalists

THE presenter for the next meeting of the Latrobe Valley Field Naturalists' Club on Friday, March 22 will be our vice president, Ken Harris on his favourite topic - Lacewings.

The meeting, which starts at 7.30pm will be held at the Moe Library and also via Zoom.

The presentation will follow our annual general meeting.

Lacewings are an order of insects, Neuroptera, with long slender mostly transparent wings with a network of veins giving a lacy appearance.

They are predators, especially

Great work: Friends of Tyers Park helped during Clean Up Australia Day. as larvae, feeding mainly on other insects. Some green lacewings are sold as eggs or adults and often used to attack pests such as aphids. They range from a wingspan of just 5mm to as much as 90mm. The larger species, known as Antlions, have larvae who build a conical pit and wait at the bottom for insects such as ants to slide down the steep sides of the pit.

For our excursion on Saturday, March 23, we will meet at 7pm for an evening of light-trapping for insects (hopefully including lacewings) at a private property beside the Morwell National Park.

Visitors are most welcome, both to the meeting and the excursion.

For more information, phone the secretary, Rose, on 0410 237 292.

Clean up effort

Knowhow: Morwell CWA have built a strong reputation as the best local scone-makers.

FRIENDS of Tyers Park took part in Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 3.

A group of 10 volunteers collected more than 10 cubic metres of rubbish in the park on Clean Up Australia Day This was more than enough to overflow the two large rubbish skips provided by Latrobe City Council.

All the rubbish had been illegally dumped in the park, most of it over the past year.

Apart from household rubbish, car tyres, car parts and whitegoods were the main items collected. Rubbish not only looks unsightly but can adversely effect wildlife, contaminate waterways and, in the case of garden waste, spread invasive weeds.

Photographs supplied

Garden club NEXT meeting of the Traralgon Garden Club will be at 2pm next Tuesday (March 12) at a new venue: the Traralgon Racecourse (110 McNairn Road, Traralgon).

New members and visitors welcome.

Further information is available from Bryan Corkran on 0408 598 016.

Super scones MARCH is when CWA branches across Victoria come together in a scone baking competition to celebrate their birthday.

This competition started during COVID, as the CWA tried to raise money that they would normally obtain from the Royal Melbourne Show.

It has now turned into an annual event.

CWA Morwell Evening branch has held the scone trophy for the first three years. Can they make it four in a row?

We will find out on March 23 when Morwell CWA have their big yellow marquee set up on the Morwell Historical Society lawn, (12 Hazelwood Road). There, they will be selling their famous plain and dates scones that will be supplemented with a bake sale and CWA recipe books.

To make sure you don’t miss out on the day, pre-orders are recommended and can be placed via Trybooking trybooking.com/CPRTT More information is available on the CWA Morwell Evening Facebook page.

You can be a part of Community Corner IF you are a community group and have any news items you need publicised, feel free to email us at news@ lvexpress.com.au You can address the correspondence to Editor, Liam Durkin.

Please write 'Community Corner' in the subject line and nothing else.

Driving down costs with nuclear energy

IN his zeal to hose down any possibility of nuclear power being used to ease Australian's rising cost of living, Dan Caffrey ('Nuclear non compliant' Latrobe Valley Express Opinion 06/03/24) attempts to demonstrate how expensive it would be to adopt Small Modular Nuclear Reactors [SMNR] as his working example.

Unfortunately, Mr Caffrey fails to tell the whole story.

In Victoria, depending on our distribution network, we pay anywhere between 29.3 and 35.8c per kilowatt hour for electricity.

In Russia, they pay just 6c a kwh, in China it's 8c and in the USA 18c.

So how do they achieve such low rates?

Seventeen per cent of Russia's electricity [20 Gigawatts] comes from its 31 nuclear power plants, 60 per cent is derived from fossil fuels, while hydro provides 18 per cent.

In China, 62 per cent of their power comes from coal. They currently have 55 nuclear plants producing 57 GW, and 22 new nuclear plants are under construction and another 70 are planned.

So Mr Caffrey's claim that only one SMNR is presently operating in China, with no further ones in sight, is misleading.

His argument that nuclear is not carbon neutral as fossil fuels are required to mine the uranium overlooks the fact that the same could be said of the metals needed to construct the solar panels and wind turbines, and the huge amounts of fossil fuels required to transport these components to their Australian sites from e.g. China.

Nuclear itself will not solve all Australia's energy problems, but as part of a mix of sources including so called renewables, our country can return to the days of cheap, reliable, round the clock power which in turn will drive down the cost of living and make our own industries more competitive in the world's markets.

Greg Hansford Newborough

Unqualified and spurious

WHY do people write to newspapers?

I would have thought for all sorts of reasons, but Neil Reid, (‘What a catch’, LVE Opinion 06/03/24), seems to think Oliver Bergens might do it to "catch a fish", resulting in a "gotcha" moment for Oliver and much glee for Neil.

Or is the "catch" simply a by-product?

I've never been a fisherman, but if my primary aim is to catch a fish, then perhaps any bait is fair game.

Does this mean Oliver may use disingenuity to achieve his goal, or should we take him at face value?

Either way, is Neil satisfied with this, and does a positive reader response not engender quite the thrill of a "gotcha" moment?

Oliver is certainly keen to encourage people to respond, and apparently negatively. Go figure!

Personally, my reasons do not include any expectation of any kind of response, but I realise I may cop a whack.

I have no objection to this, as long as the respondent does not distort or misrepresent what I've written, or display unwarranted bias.

Unfortunately, Neil Reid does just this, and not for the first time he has completely missed the point.

I have no argument with Oliver's politics, just his disgusting manner of addressing those who disagree.

I have no intention of discussing my political

views, but there are regular correspondents with whom I generally disagree politically, without comment, but who treat opposing voices with respect, eg. Greg Hansford, so it is possible. Nor does Neil address the other major point of my letter, the matter of local issues by local correspondents.

The referral to Patricia Correa, by the way, is related to her previous implication that she doesn't need a dictionary to read Oliver's letters, unlike mine.

Neil, when you describe my letter as a "negative, smug and vitriolic tirade/rant", but Oliver's effort gets an uncritical and gleeful tick of approval, you forfeit any right to advise me to "lift your game by not playing the man/woman".

Furthermore, your repeat assessment of my demeanor is again unqualified, spurious, personal and inaccurate. Please desist.

I thank you for your more positive feedback, but my motivations for further letters will certainly not include trying to live up your expectations.

John Duck Trafalgar

Same old

I THOUGHT I might help out our local MPs with political slogans that might help the public when it's time to vote at the next election.

"A vote for me, is a wasted vote", "I am here for my community once I have looked after myself and my party and if I have time, you will be my priority", "A vote for me will get you lots of talk, but no action", "Vote for me and I will never be seen or heard in the electorate".

Seriously, we need politicians who are prepared to fight for us, we have enough politicians who promise us the world, but nothing changes.

As a community, we are over-governed and in my opinion, not one of our local politicians has been able to justify their salaries with real results.

I urge people to hold our politicians to account and not accept that an opposition member cant achieve results - they can if they fight and that is what we as a community are lacking - fighters.

These slogans apply equally to councillors and MP's.

Patrick Ansell Morwell

Water off a duck's back

LOVED your article Neil Reid (LVE Opinion 06/03/24 ‘What a Catch’).

You are so right Neil, if the bait is enticing enough to grab and swallow, then as you so eloquently put it, "hook, line and sinker" is the final siren.

Everything you stated in your article was spot on my friend.

Brian Mahwinney, Greg Hansford, Patricia Correa, Dan Caffrey and Nicholas Tam also hit the ball out of the park.

Sadly, in this day and age of so called 'modern society', the world and more importantly, the beautiful country we have the privilege of living in, has become stale, bland and 'exit stage left' boring.

The 'extreme lefties' have taken the reins and are ruling this country with an iron fist.

With everyday issues, such as, political correctness gone completely mad, imbecile, moronic activism, and disgusting behaviour, our 'accomplished and tough justice system' (which we all know is 'just-a-system') over the top Indigenous rights and boring, mundane rituals, way too much Greens influence, and much, much more.

These BS issues brings into focus the zealots

of society who will stop at nothing to follow this fictional path. They comprehensively refuse to believe that the world is actually round. Those who will fight to the death to prove that their opinion is the only one that matters and should be believed.

Others will put their opinion forward and back it up with the real truth and facts, not something from a world of fantasy.

If someone disagrees with something that you say, you don't lose any sleep over it and you don't give a rats proverbial.

In fact, I find it very humorous and my friends and I get a huge laugh out of the rubbish that is written by certain subscribers.

You just keep your head over the ball, focus and keep batting on and belting out the truth. If you're not out at the end of the days play ... and I'm sure you will be, then you have triumphed over the lesser lights, the unbelievers, those who wish to drag you down. But, the most rewarding part is you stick to your guns and keep on keeping on.

As the old saying goes, 'The truth always hurts' and for some, this is a truth they can't handle!

Oliver Bergens Dandenong

Balance in commissioning

MR John Cameron can surely claim some expertise in the domain of forestry, and has seemingly enjoyed a long and successful career in that industry.

All power to him I say, but, as the great novelist (and journalist) Upton Sinclair once observed, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

There are many Latrobe Valley workers (most I imagine far less well remunerated than Mr Cameron has been) who are no doubt frightened and angry at the impact that climate change policy is having on their livelihoods. They deserve the community's attention and support. What they do not deserve is being led up the garden path by Mr Cameron's pseudo-scientific adventures in your newspaper's 'comment' section.

He seems to think, for example, that the fact that the earth is to have once been much warmer is of any kind of significance. But climate scientists are well aware of this fact - it is their method, after all, which has helped to demonstrate it. What concerns them is that this kind of change in the earth's temperature, which in the past took many tens of thousands of years to occur, and so afforded life a long time to adapt, is right now happening in the space of just a single century.

If you must publish Mr Cameron's efforts as 'comment', could you not at least, in the name of Upton Sinclair, invite a scientist to provide a 'comment' in reply?

BAW Baw Shire West Ward Councillor, Danny Goss claims that there needs to be a significant purchase of land on the outskirts of town(s) where multiple sporting clubs could play to fulfil his vision.

Savings of 2m and a bullet on this project don't come around everyday, but I have one.

Central to the Latrobe Valley and in the Baw Baw shire is the town of Trafalgar, this is just a reminder for our councillors in the Central and West Wards.

It is the same town where a massive new development 'Waterloo' is coming to fruition which will almost double the size of our town.

Also located within its boundaries are a cricket and football oval which has had no significant upgrade since the early 90s.

But Cr Goss, here is the great news ... attached to this reserve is an unused 22 ha land just begging for facilities to be built.

It was purchased by the shire originally to build a new greyhound track. When this project was scrapped, a masterplan for this space was developed.

The original masterplan has room for four extra ovals, parking, indoor facilities and even a wetlands and it's just 15 minutes out of Warragul.

I was in a state of melancholy after I learned you (Cr Goss) and your fellow councillors from the West and Central Wards at the last council meeting voted to redirect the money for the creation of a new oval at Trafalgar to a redevelopment of an oval in Drouin. This confuses me because this redirection of funds creates nothing new and was not a recommended project by the Sports and Recreation Team at the shire when submissions went to council.

It also perplexes me that this project is not costed where as the Trafalgar oval is.

How can you morally vote for that?

It is not lost on myself and my fellow recreational facility users that it is an election year and there may not be any value in a new oval in Trafalgar for you.

That's a shame because there is potentially plenty of value for the youth and sports people of both the Baw Baw Shire and the whole Latrobe Valley.

All you have to do is 'think big'.

Ambitious education reform to set the tone COMMENT

By PROFESSOR DUNCAN BENTLEY

THE Universities Accord Final Report has set the tone for an ambitious reform of higher and vocational education in Australia.

As we await the federal government’s response to its findings, we should not delay in embracing the core tenets of the report, which offer our sector a once-in-a-generation opportunity for change.

We must commend the federal government for establishing the panel to investigate what changes must be made to post-secondary education so that we can rekindle the aspirations of future generations.

The report sets a target to lift the tertiary attainment rate of all working-age people, with at least one Certificate III qualification or higher, from the current level of 60 per cent to at least 80 per cent by 2050.

To achieve this, the system will need to more than double the number of Commonwealth-supported students in universities from 860,000 currently to 1.8 million by 2050. This will evidently require a major overhaul of the entire education sector spanning from early childhood to higher and vocational education.

This target may seem ambitious given reports that domestic higher education enrolments have dropped by 13 per cent since 2016. Yet while enrolments for bachelor’s degree are declining, enrolments in work-based training and apprenticeships have increased in recent years. In Victoria, this can be attributed to the state government’s leadership in delivering Fee-Free TAFE. This shows us that with the right initiatives and

Path forward: Federation University President and Vice Chancellor, Professor Duncan Bentley has outlined ways to see higher number File photograph bachelor enrolments.

equitable support, we can also turn the tide on university enrolments among our domestic cohort.

As a dual-sector university, we are seeing this trend at Federation University and often, once the door to post-secondary education is opened through TAFE, students are better prepared to continue their education journey with further vocational or higher education qualifications.

In his address to the National Press Club last year following the release of the Accord’s interim report, the Minister for Education, Jason Clare, supported a closer alignment of vocational and higher education as one of the key changes needed to help address the skills shortage.

Minister Clare also noted that a strong connection between TAFE and higher education can result in innovative education offerings that will help us meet emerging skills demand in the workplace, citing Federation’s dual Electrical qualification that combines a bachelor’s degree with a Certificate III in Electrotechnology which we developed with the National Electrical and Communications Association.

This modular approach to post-secondary education will provide the innovation and agility Australia needs to rapidly upskill its workforce and combine the practical and theoretical skills many technology-driven sectors require.

Supporting greater mobility between vocational and higher education is one measure to help us reach the 2050 target, yet the most important recommendation in the Accord final report is the need to raise post-secondary education attainment among disadvantaged students.

Low socioeconomic status students are predominantly located in regional, rural and peri-urban communities, and while they make up 25 per cent

of our population, this cohort only represents 17 per cent of higher education enrolments.

At Federation, we already meet this target in our student body. Our aim is to build on our capability to reach even more low socioeconomic status students in our communities. As a nation, it will require much bolder actions, which is why regional universities like Federation doing the heavy lifting need the proposed university levy to deliver on the national promise.

As well as being comparatively disadvantaged, regional students are more likely to have carer duties, while being located further from places of learning and employment than their metropolitan counterparts. Undertaking unpaid placement work with such constraints can sometimes be a hurdle too great to overcome.

Mandatory paid placements is one recommendation in the final Accord report that could address this issue.

This is a measure Federation is already implementing through our Co-operative Education Model, and being able to earn while you learn can be the difference in a student from a disadvantaged background not just deciding to enrol but being able to complete their degree.

We cannot say with certainty which of the final report’s recommendations the federal government will choose to adopt, but we can be certain that the Accord panel have provided a blueprint for how our sector must reinvent itself to deliver an experience that our students and employers want, and support the skills needs of our nation.

Professor Duncan Bentley is President and Vice Chancellor of Federation University, Australia.

Storm-affectedfarmerspleadingforrelieffunding

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

FARMERS hit by recent wild weather have continued to plea for government support as they pick up the pieces.

Murray Watt, the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management, visited Gippsland last week, but gave no indication of any future federal assistance for disaster-impacted farmers.

The Minister visited the Ellinbank SmartFarm to praise the farm's innovation visiting Vietnamese delegates, but while they toured the green pastures in Ellinbank, farmers just 40 kilometres away continued to suffer after the February storm.

"I’m very conscious that this part of Victoria recently experienced those terrible storms, particularly Mirboo North, but I know the region in general was affected," Minister Watt said when questioned about relief measures to struggling Mirboo North farmers.

"There has been a significant amount of support already provided by the federal and Victorian governments to this region, as there has been to Western Victoria with the bushfires that they’ve experienced recently," he added.

The state and federal government have implemented a range of supports following the devastating storm in February, including the Prolonged Power Outage payment for small businesses and homes without power for longer than seven days.

The state and federal government have also announced local government financial assistance and a head contractor to assist with the post-storm clean-up.

On February 25, the federal and state

governments announced that disaster-affected councils would share in a $21 million support package through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

The package includes $13.1 million towards a Clean-Up Program to remove hazards and waste for impacted and uninsured residents. Baw Baw, East Gippsland and Wellington Shires are among the 29 councils who will share $8 million to help restore community assets and facilities.

But when it comes to the agriculture and horticulture industry, farmers are still waiting for assistance.

"What we do when natural disasters hit is look at immediate support in the days following, but as the weeks and months roll on further support is provided to communities as the impacts become clearer," Mr Watt said.

Some farmers in Mirboo North are facing cleanup bills of around $100,000 for fencing and tree removal, feeling left behind by the lack of government financial support.

The Cummaudo Farm in Mirboo North told the Express they will struggle covering the cost of their 30-odd acres lost from hail damage, let alone forking out thousands of dollars on fencing and clearing costs.

Victorian Member for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien, said it was understandable that local farmers feel as though they have been forgotten about.

Mr O’Brien said he had written to the state Minister for Agriculture, Ross Spence, asking that funding be made available for these farmers as a matter of priority.

In Mirboo North, potato farms and a snow pea farm were heavily damaged, and so was the Mirboo North nursery, which told the Express it had lost

95 per cent of stock during the recent storm event.

Mr O'Brien is urging the government to make clean-up grant arrangements available like that of the large storms in June and October 2021.

State Minister for Energy and Resources, Lily D'Ambrosio, during her visit to Mirboo North last month, said the government was using the 2021 storm event as a guide, but had yet to announce similar funding grants.

Mr O’Brien said the problem was caused by criteria in the current disaster funding arrangements, which require a certain percentage of a region to be directly affected by the natural disaster before clean-up assistance from the state and federal governments will be provided.

The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) has opened donations for the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) as farmers continue to struggle to pay the bills after the recent storms.

VFF President, Emma Germano said many regional communities had been left reeling after a series of devastating natural disasters.

“Farmers have lost farm sheds, kilometres of fencing, stock, machinery and that’s just from early assessments. We know there will be more, so we’re getting on the front foot and opening our disaster relief fund applications,” she said.

Storm-impacted Mirboo North potato farmer, Paul Giardina, said it was ironic that the government was happy to boast about local crops but wouldn't offer any support.

"Unfortunately, we're in a situation where we aren't getting looked at - we're bypassed," he said.

"It's us running around trying to do what we can to try and help ourselves."

PERFECT conditions fell down on the Stony Creek Racing Club for the Stony Creek Cup Day on Sunday, March 10.

Maybe conditions were too perfect, as the heat reached 36 degrees, forcing patrons to seek for shade.

A nine-race card was scheduled, and the track was graded a Good 4 to start proceedings, upgrading to a Good 3 ahead of Race 2, then once again to a Firm 2 just before Race 6.

A FEW local runners were spotted throughout the afternoon. First was Redskin Jimmy for Sale’s Troy Kilgower, who ran last in the Race 1 Viatek Maiden Plate over 2100 metres.

Shamrock Bay from Moe’s Paul and Tracey Templeton’s stables secured a top three finish in the Race 4 CPK McLaren MotorBody Maiden Plate (1100m). After leading for virtually the whole race the three-year-old filly gave way but held onto third. Pindari Point for Sale’s Paul Worthington ran last for the entire race.

Moe’s Darryl Blackshaw had his first runner in the Race 5 Fish Creek Hotel 0-58 Handicap (1000m). Hazard A Guess claimed fourth for the Moe stable, behind the firm front three.

Blackshaw went one (or three) better in Race 6’s Dr Michael Bourke OAM Memorial BM64

Harriers celebrate IWD

HARRIERS

By GARY FOX

LAST week's (March 7) Harriers Thursday night run was held on the Morwell/Traralgon walking track.

We started at the Latrobe Regional Hospital heading towards Morwell, then turned north to Old Melbourne Road, and then East towards Traralgon before returning to the hospital.

The six kilometre course is generally flat with a few undulations closer to Traralgon.

We had a great turnout with a total of 76 runners in perfect conditions.

Great running by Peter Cutler saw him first home in an impressive time of 21:03, closely followed by Sav Mavrofridis (21:43), and Dempsey Podmore (23:16).

Excellent running by Molly Irvine saw her first as the lady home in 27:12, followed Karen Graham (27:40), and Sally Theobald (28:47).

The club provides a welcoming environment for all, so it was fitting that the Harriers celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD).

IWD is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

It’s a call to action for accelerating gender parity, and an acknowledgment of how far we’ve come, but also of how much work there is still to do. Gender equality benefits everyone. The Harriers embrace and embody these goals.

Handicap (1100m), when Takin’ The Mickey stole the win. The five-year-old gelding showed class as he paced on the outside of the track to win by half a length. Juice Box came third for Sale’s Rebecca Kelly, dropping back from the pace position.

Sale’s Kerry Farrugia would’ve been holding his breath as Wiesenbach led for most of Race 7’s Danny O’Brien 0-58 Handicap (2100m).

Wiesenbach still impressively finished in third.

Shilajit for Sale’s Adam Hanley came from a long way back but could only muster a sixth-place finish.

Worthington had a chance in the final race of the day, the Race 9 Brandt Leongatha 0-58 Handicap (1600m), with Night Eruption coming third. Peppino for Sale’s Damien Walkey had less luck, unable to make an imprint on the race, finishing eighth.

IN the Ladbrokes Stony Creek Cup for Race 8, only six horses made it to the barriers - one of them, Schweinsteiger for Walkley.

It was going to be a tough ask, but with only six horses in the field anything can happen.

It essentially came down to the front four, which Schweinsteiger wasn’t apart of, with Confrontational for Cranbourne’s Jason Warren taking the cup.

It came down to the wire though, as Confrontational only just got there first, winning by a head to Fam Gorman - the well-backed second favourite.

The favourite, Starspangled Baby, came third, almost two lengths from the lead.

Local AFL stars begin season Concussion FOOTBALL AFL EXPORTS

BY TOM HAYES

AFTER 158 long days without AFL, it’s now finally that time of year again.

Opening Round got the 2024 season underway, which saw four games in the two rugby league states of New South Wales and Queensland.

THE only ones that took to the field was the local trio on the Gold Coast, who hosted Richmond at Heritage Bank Stadium.

Boy, were the Suns impressive.

They have appealed to pundits as the side that will improve drastically, and they look to have given the right impression.

Under the eyes of triple premiership coach for the Tigers, Damien Hardwick, Gold Coast had all of the tricks up their sleeve to get past their coach’s old mob.

Richmond opened the scoring with a flashy goal to Shai Bolton within the first two minutes. That would be their only goal for the best part of an hour.

The Suns went on a rampage, kicking the next five goals to close out the opening term 28 points ahead.

It only got worse for the Tigers in the second quarter, when the Suns continued to power through them.

At one stage toward the closing moments of the half, Gold Coast had a 67-point lead, leaving Richmond on one of their lowest scores in a half

in almost 30 years, stranded on 1.1 (7). The Tigers dobbed the last goal of the second quarter to avoid that feat but were still over 10 goals off the pace.

The tide shifted somewhat in the third quarter, as it was then Gold Coast beginning to look shaky.

Richmond scored six goals to none to bring the margin back to within four goals, and suddenly there was a game on our hands.

Holding a 26-point lead at the final change, the Suns were resilient enough to bring the four points home, closing out the win by 39 points, 14.15 (99) to 9.6 (60).

Although only eight teams featured in Opening Round, Gold Coast will enter Round 1 on top of the ladder.

Moe’s Sam Flanders was accumulative as ever, as were a number of the Suns’ midfielders, collecting 26 disposals. He added four marks, three tackles and two clearances to his tally too.

He was one of seven Suns to collect more than 20 disposals, all outdone however by Matt Rowell, who will surely get three votes after collecting 33 disposals (26 contested), 20 clearances and five tackles.

Morwell’s Ben Ainsworth had 13 touches from the half forward flank, with six marks and two goal assists and a behind to his name.

Moe’s Bailey Humphrey played admirably, but was outshone by his teammates, he managed nine disposals, two marks and two tackles.

IN other Opening Round matches Sydney hosted

Melbourne at the SCG in the first game of the season. The Swans defeated the Demons in a dominant last quarter to win by 22 points, 12.14 (86) to 9.10 (64).

Carlton was the only interstate side to record a win, knocking over the Lions by a point after being more than seven goals down in the second term at the Gabba, getting revenge over Brisbane who ended their season in a Preliminary Final last season, 13.8 (86) to 12.12 (85).

GWS also got revenge on Collingwood, who also ended their premiership hopes in a Preliminary Final last year, taking care of the Magpies at Engie Stadium, 18.6 (114) to 11.16 (82).

Morwell's Tew Jiath wasn't included in the Magpies squad at the weekend, as it is suspected that he will continue to try and work his way into the team.

THIS weekend, Round 1 gets underway, with a several exports set to start their 2024 season.

Traralgon's Tim Membrey should most definitely get a run for St Kilda when they play Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.

Both Duursma's, Foster's Xavier and Zane will be in the mix for their new clubs.

Xavier and Essendon take on Hawthorn at the MCG, while if Zane is picked for the Kangaroos, he would be set to play against the tough-looking Giants at their Engie Stadium.

Form: Morwell’s Ben Ainsworth was handy for the Suns on the half forward flank, providing two goal assists.

protocols at country level

FOOTBALL

By TOM HAYES

STRONGER concussion protocols have been announced by the AFL, which affect country league football.

In the announcement, the AFL said it would retain their mandatory 12-day return-to-play concussion protocol at AFL level yet would enforce prolonged periods for any level below AFL or AFLW. The decision sees concussions at any level below AFL or AFLW level must administer to a 21-day return-to-play protocol. To clarify, a player would be able to return to play on the 21st day at the earliest, meaning they would miss two weeks of football.

Not only does this include VFL and VFLW, but also the Gippsland League, North Gippsland Football-Netball League, and Mid Gippsland FNL. The AFL’s new protocols align with the recommendations made by the Australian Institute of Sport’s Concussion and Brain Health Position Statement regarding concussion guidelines.

From a local perspective, it begs the question: how will it be enforced at a country level?

Conversations with AFL Gippsland would suggest that it would be put on the clubs to administer to someone would has received a head knock, meaning concussion training will be expected to be essential across all clubs.

From there, players would be checked by a medical professional as soon as possible, and if they have suffered a concussion, they would enter concussion protocols.

It is understood that clubs from the Gippsland League, NGFNL, and MGFNL have, or will, undergo meetings with AFL Gippsland to better understand the situation.

More to come.

Four teams left standing in Prem A CRICKET CLV PREMIER A

BY LIAM DURKIN

AN extreme contrast saw the inaugural regular season of Cricket Latrobe Valley finish the opposite of how it started.

Where rain had wiped out the first month of Premier A action back in October, players battled oppressive heat at the weekend just gone, as temperatures soared into the high 30s.

The weather pattern appeared to be running two months behind schedule, as conditions usually reserved for summer made their way to autumn.

Ultimately, the heat provided a minor nuisance as results and ladder positions were finalised following the completion of Round 14.

In the end, there was also a great sense of anticlimax.

The top four was virtually set before Day 2 had even started, while the same could be said for the bottom two sides, who succumbed to relegation.

Former Traralgon District powerhouses Ex Students and Glengarry showed just how strong they really are, finishing well clear as one and two at the top.

Their opponents for this weekend's semi-finals will be Moe and Raiders respectively.

Raiders, runner-up last season in Latrobe Valley District (Trarlagon District and Latrobe Valley District merged this season), face a Glengarry side many consider the strongest in the competition, while the Lions are up against a club many consider the strongest in all of Gippsland.

While Moe will be long-odds to win, there is perhaps some poetic justice associated with their finals qualification, having got in one spot ahead of Morwell. The Tigers beat the Lions in a hotly contested and equally controversial Latrobe Valley District semi-final last season, pulling off a reverse outright before going on to win the flag.

CATS meanwhile ended the season in sixth position, well clear of both finals and relegation.

The team from Traralgon South have managed to stay in the top flight the last two seasons, seemingly negotiating their availability as best they can from week to week in order to do so.

At the foot of the ladder, Churchill and Mirboo

of only four wickets in the last week before finals.

Perhaps most pleasingly for Raiders captain Liam Maynard, his top and middle order spent more than 60 overs out in the middle.

Runs to opener George Cheshire provided a stable base to set up victory, and his 56 off 107 balls served a number of purposes.

Mirboo North remained a sneaky chance after getting three wickets in relatively quick succession to leave the scoreboard reading 4/143.

Raiders however appeared to have just the right number of resources, and were helped by handy contributions from most of the top order.

Youngster Ben Burrows batted through until the winning runs were hit, making 41 not out, while Tom Robertson did similar, scoring an unbeaten 38.

Mick Higgins added to his career tally, knocking off 28 runs, and Boyd Bailey got his hit in last week, making 25 before being subbed out.

Darin Matthews was the pick of the bowlers for Mirboo North, finishing with 2/28.

Raiders have proven perhaps the surprise packet of Premier A, finishing the regular season in third, well ahead of teams identified in preseason as likely finalists such as Morwell and Toongabbie.

While the Raiders narrative every season revolves around them being too old, the fact of the matter is players like Higgins are still churring out handy runs and bowling more than handy overs.

Adding Rob Webber at Christmas has added even more experience, while getting Bailey as a diplomatic recruit provided someone who offers something in both departments.

Whether or not it is enough to beat Glengarry remains to be seen, but one expects Raiders will have to bat for as long as they did in this game, and then some, if they are to be any chance.

The desolate look on Maynard's face after the Grand Final last season when his team lost after needing only 40 to win with six wickets in hand will surely provide motivation trying to get back on the big stage.

For Mirboo North, the Tigers will be back in the lower division for the second time in four seasons.

Such an outcome should make them more competitive in theory, although the jury could still be out on the whole promotion/relegation structure.

Granted this is the first season in an expanded league, the danger lies in the gap between the two divisions becoming too wide.

If that happens, there is a good chance the same teams will just keep going up and down.

BOTH teams got what they wanted in the match between Toongabbie and Glengarry.

The Magpies got the win, and the Rams avoided relegation.

Chasing close to 300 was probably always going to take something extraordinary from Toongabbie, and in a final scorecard that read 9/82, that was perhaps all that was needed to indicate the mindset of the two competing teams.

Glengarry have finals, and really a flag, to worry about. Toongabbie had more than likely checked out on the season before the day even started.

The Rams bowled for a couple more overs at home on Saturday, taking the last two wickets to be presented with a total of 281.

The home side was never in the hunt, and seemed happy to hit out or get out as Mad Monday loomed.

There was more getting out, so much so Toongabbie only last 37.5 overs, and were bowled out for 82.

Nathan Allen continued on his wicket-taking ways, finishing with 3/11, while new ball operator Cam Graham took 3/14.

MORWELL won by nine wickets.

The Tigers had an emphatic end to the season, although unfortunately for them, last Saturday was exactly that - the end of the season.

Chasing 156 against Churchill at Keegan Street, the home side got the required runs for the loss of only one wicket.

Needing to win outright and rely on CATS beating Moe to play finals, the Tigers went at a rate-ofknots, winning on first innings in just over 40 overs.

However, keeping an eye on scores, it became clear fairly quickly CATS were not going to beat Moe, so Morwell ended their game as soon as a first innings had been achieved.

It was better late than never for Blair Clymo, as the Morwell opener finally made a sizeable contribution with the bat, remaining not out on 80.

That he scored 80 not out in one hit and made 154 runs for the season perhaps summed up the horror season he endured.

Cyrus Shafi helped the win with 57 not out off 110 balls, allowing the rest of the Morwell card to put their feet up.

Churchill meanwhile failed to make more than one inroad, and will now head down the grade for the first time since promotion/relegation has been around Latrobe Valley cricket.

There will be a degree of interest connected to how long the Cobras remain in the 'lower' division, and if it will in fact prove detrimental in their efforts to recruit international or even gun local players.

Regardless, has anyone had time to consider JK in A Grade? That could be absolute carnage.

EX STUDENTS had the bye.

North finished equal-last on 19 points, the consequence of which means they will both be heading down the grade next season.

The Tigers can possibly count themselves a little unlucky, as this will be the only season that sees two teams from Premier A demoted (to allow eight teams in each division).

On the other hand, Toongabbie can consider themselves extremely lucky to have avoided relegation, as the Rams finished a mere one point ahead of Mirboo North.

Churchill and wooden spoon in the same sentence is not something you would say too often, in any sport, unless you were to go back to Churchill's football days in the Gippsland League.

The Gippsland League is the only major football league in the region.

No doubt Cricket Latrobe Valley officials will be hoping to reach a similar standing during summer.

MOE cracked the first winning beer/soft drink well before 3pm.

The Lions only took the best part of 20 overs to get the remaining five wickets they needed against CATS, who were knocked over for 107 in pursuit of 148.

With virtually nothing to play for once a first innings result was reached (keeping in mind it was 37 degrees), both teams were happy to shake hands and call it a day.

CATS, needing to win outright to be any hope of featuring in finals, fell away rapidly after the dismissal of returning batsman Josh Moore.

Moore departed with the score 6/57, which became 9/98 before too long.

Paul McGill joined Moore at the crease to start the day, and was the last wicket to fall, making 34 after sticking around for 84 balls, most of which were recorded on Day 1.

Moe used five bowlers, all of whom chipped in with wickets.

Aaron Johnstone set up the win with three on Day 1, in eventual figures that read 3/36.

Benn Zomer nabbed 2/7, Reverend Clinton Taylor 2/16 and Callum Grant 2/23.

The Lions are now preparing for another finals series. Moe has had little trouble making finals either side of the last decade, missing only twice in the last 10 seasons (ironically those two times saw them finish last).

Moe's run since 2019/20 deserves a nod of approval, having gone runner-up, runner-up, premier/promoted, narrow semi final loss, and now qualifying for finals in an expanded league.

RAIDERS got a good hit in before finals.

Chasing 208 against Mirboo North on Yinnar Turf, the home side got the job done for the loss

Race to the A Grade flag wide open

CRICKET CLV A GRADE

BY LIAM DURKIN

THE end of the Cricket Latrobe Valley regular season finished in some anticlimax, with the top four in A Grade remaining virtually unchanged from the start of the round.

While there was a number of hypotheticals on the cards leading into Round 14, there was no last-gasp efforts that came to fruition.

In the washup, Rovers finished on top of the ladder, while Centrals secured the other home final on offer.

Gormandale had a finals berth sewn up heading into the round, but could go no higher than third owing to a bye in the last round.

Imperials meanwhile rounded out the top four, winning a virtual elimination final against Willow Grove to make sure of it.

The Wolves dropped to second-last in the finish, meaning Traralgon West was the only real 'mover' after the round, ending season 2023/24 one spot outside the top four.

In a somewhat farcical ladder, the Eagles won the same number of games as Imperials, yet fell a whole six points short of going equal with them.

At the other end of town, Centrals finished second on five wins, one less than Gormandale.

Points however were divvied up during the homeand-away campaign, with some outrights and even reverse outrights thrown into the mix.

WOULD you be worried if you were Centrals?

While the Lions finished the home-and-away season second on the ladder, another batting failure at the weekend will surely carry fears it is

the same old story as the semi-final approaches.

What made last Saturday's loss to Rovers even more bizarre was the fact Centrals started the day having already won the game.

The Lions won on first innings by one solidary run, but fell apart completely in their second innings to hand the visiting Rovers side a relatively easy reverse outright.

Starting Day 2 at Apex Park 3/19, the Lions failed to build much of a lead, and were bowled out for just 78.

If the total wasn't enough to send alarm bells off, the sight of the entire Centrals top order and middle order going out bowled or lbw surely was.

Only Mark Rawason, with another Mark Rawsonlike 32 made any contribution, as an astonishing seven batsmen fell leg before.

Ewan Williams did the damage for Rovers, taking 3/5 off 10 overs. He was ably supported by first innings villain Simon Duff (3/22), Oliver Hannam (2/11) and Lachlan Patterson (2/28) against his old side.

Given the one-run margin on first innings, the scoreboard was essentially nil-nil when Day 2 started, and come Rovers' second innings, they found themselves needing only 79 to win.

Hannam and Dougal Williams ensured six points for a reverse outright, making 33 and 28 not out respectively, securing not only the win but the minor premiership as well.

Tyron Gamage took 2/6 in the second dig for Centrals.

IMPERIALS won outright via more conventional means.

Travelling to Moe Racecourse Turf for Day 2, Imps took care of Willow Grove, giving themselves

a good warm up for this weekend’s semi-final in the process.

Resuming at 6/131, the technical visitors had a 20 over slog and took their score to 215.

Shane Galea led all comers with 65, while Scott Aitken and Todd Mann both made 28, the latter smacking two sixes.

For someone who has publicly said he hates batting, Mann goes alright at it - he has a few A Grade tons to his name.

Young gun pace bowler Dylan van der Stoep was able to end his season on a high, taking exceptional figures of 6/31 off 15 overs for Willow Grove.

The Wolves batted again and made 144 in just under 50 overs.

Luke Payton again shouldered most of the burden, making 40 off 51 balls, while veteran Anthony Wilkes peeled off 36 batting at number 11.

Dilshan Thilakarathne nabbed 4/29 in the second dig, while Mann took his season tally to 50 with 3/53. Scott Aitken also chimed in with 2/38.

Imperials got maximum points quickly, getting the 50 or so runs needed in 5.1 overs, thanks mainly to James Skingle scoring 29 not out off 23 rocks.

Imperials are set for an enjoyable week at the club, as it has all three senior teams in finals.

The team from Catterick Crescent reported a huge buzz during preseason, which it attributed to the formation of Cricket Latrobe Valley.

With all three teams now about to play finals, Imperials will surely view their decision making as overwhelmingly positive.

From a first grade point of view, Imperials will play Rovers for a place in the Grand Final.

Given the form lines of each, and notwithstanding the fact semi-finals are generally the hardest games

Fitting tributes at new Rovers nets

CRICKET CLV

BY LIAM DURKIN

NEXT time you go for a hit in the Duncan Cameron Reserve, Traralgon nets, just know they are named after four living legends.

The names of four greats of the Rovers Cricket Club, who call Duncan Cameron Reserve home, now hang proudly in four separate lanes inside the nets.

The new nets have been in use for a number of weeks now, with the namesakes revealed at a special presentation recently.

Fittingly, Rovers formally announced the 'netsakes' at the tea interval of a junior game on Sunday, March 3, giving the club's youth the chance to look up in admiration of their senior heroes.

The new nets feature three 'private' and one public lane, which is a traditional cage net accessible any time of the day.

Taking naming honours for this net was David

Honourees: Rovers Cricket Club has named the four lanes in its new nets after four of its club greats. They are, pictured from left to right: David Little, Steve Carney, Simon Duff and Dougal Williams.

Photograph: Liam Durkin

Little, a six-time Rovers CC champion and Traralgon District Cricket Association (now Cricket Latrobe Valley) life member.

Having Little's name attached to the public net was seen as quite appropriate, as he has contributed countless hours to ground works a little further the road at Terry Hunter Oval (Traralgon Recreation Reserve).

His surname itself offers something of a contradiction, as with 249 games and close to 400 wickets, his service to Rovers has been anything but 'little'.

Fellow 200 gamer Simon Duff was also honoured with a lane named after him.

Duff, who is still playing A Grade, is a former A Grade captain, and one of only two Rovers players to play 200 first grade games.

His modern day contemporary, Dougal Williams joined Duff in having a naming honour bestowed upon him.

Williams has captained Rovers for five seasons and been club champion twice.

Rovers clearly see a great role model in Williams, so much so they decided to name something after him at just 25-years-of-age. Given this, he may well be the youngest person in Latrobe City to have a permanent structure named after them.

Rounding out the honourees was Steve Carney.

Carney is a Rovers life member and seven-time club champion, who, like Little, Duff and Williams, has dedicated an extraordinary amount of work to the life and times of the club.

With new nets and finals beginning this weekend, and with Rovers sitting atop the Cricket Latrobe Valley A Grade ladder, a Rovers premiership would surely go some way to justifying the hours spent by the quartet behind the scenes.

to win, pundits could mount a case for whoever wins this weekend will just about win the premiership.

TRARALGON WEST ended the season with a win.

The Eagles got the job done against Latrobe, and were able to celebrate not only a team victory, but a couple of individual performances as well.

Chasing 194 at Peter Siddle Oval, the visitors got through relatively unscathed, losing six wickets on the run home.

Openers Hayden Kimpton and Ben Edebohls put on 97 for the first wicket, broken when Kimpton fell for 45.

From then, the innings largely belonged to Edebohls, who fell just five runs short of an A Grade century.

Nevertheless, it was 95 made rather than 100 lost for the veteran all-rounder, who got his side to 212 before declaring.

A highlight for Latrobe was woman’s cricketer Stacey Rockliff taking two wickets.

Needed to win outright to be any such chance of playing finals, Traralgon West sent Latrobe back in.

The Sharks played some shots in their 15 over stint, getting to 3/74 before it was decided to call it a season.

The end of the game marked the end of another season for Anthony Bloomfield, who despite being well into his 50s, is still making plenty of runs.

Bloomfield made 28 off just 18 balls in Latrobe's second dig, while Ronnie Chokununga made 26 off just 14.

Leg spinner Adam Thow finished with figures of 2/16 off five for Traralgon West.

GORMANDALE had the bye.

Raiders strike gold at the top CRICKET

AN event more than 110 years in the making took place in Walhalla at the weekend.

For the first time since 1911, women's cricket matches were played at the picturesque Walhalla Cricket Ground.

The host club put together a team, and took on Raiders, Warragul and Sale-Maffra based Bundalaguah for the 'Gold Mine Cup’.

The tournament was used as a Pink Stumps Day, raising money for the McGrath Foundation.

Games were played as twenty20s, and saw the Latrobe Valley-based Raiders Cricket Club bring home the 'gold'.

Raiders defeated the local Walhalla contingent in their pool match, before going to to beat Bundalaguah in the final.

Grace Sanders and Olivia Speairs took two wickets each in the win, as Raiders chased the 74 set thanks to an unbeaten 30 from Zoe Quinsey-Munro.

Walhalla Cricket Club plans for Raiders to play a match against Coldstream Cricket Club (located near the Yarra Valley) in a re-enactment of the first women's match played at Walhalla in 1911.

The Walhalla Cricket Ground sits atop a mountain above the Walhalla township, and is accessible via a dirt track, or by hiking 'up the hill' - a return trip or around 40 minutes.

United ready to tip off 2024 season BASKETBALL BIG V

BY TOM HAYES

TIPPING off the basketball season in the right direction was Gippsland United, who launched season 2024 on Sunday, March 3 at the Traralgon Bowls Club.

Players and coaches came together with sponsors, friends, and family to announce what the next 12 months will look like for Gippsland United.

“A lot of things have happened over the last six months, which I’m sure everyone is aware about. But, from my perspective, what I think is exciting for us is that it’s all black and green in here,” Gippsland United Board Member, Brad Charles said.

During the afternoon, it was frequently mentioned that Gippsland United have enough to be playing in the Big V Championship next season, with aims to earn promotion for the second time in three years.

To enhance that opportunity, Gippsland United have renewed a number of partnerships, while adding new ones with the likes of Gippsland Physiotherapy Group, Traralgon Bowls Club, STADIUM 34, CME Installations, and Gippsland Motor Group all now a part of the club.

The addition of a youth league team in the VJBL will only provide a positive to the club, with those in that squad available to back-up the men’s side if needed, providing a seamless transition to the top level if the opportunity arises.

“What’s happening in the VJBL space, as well as the Big V space is all very exciting. Introducing a Youth League (team), there’s only one person in this room that made that happen - and that was Scott McKenzie,” Charles said.

“Right now we can see that it’s actually come to

fruition. Scott has got a vision, the club has got a vision, and we know that we’ll fully support that.”

Gippsland United have begun discussions with local associations, in hopes to get them on board, including the likes of Moe and Sale. Identifying Gippsland as a location between Orbost, Pakenham, and Wonthaggi - there is quite a vast land area to be covered.

“We’re starting to get traction as a club, to ensure that we’re sustainable for a long time … and that’s what is gonna make this work,” Charles said.

“It’s people power that is gonna make us. Without people we’re nothing. We have a future, it’s gonna be a long future.”

Unfortunately, the championship winning Division 2 women’s side from last year will not be taking to the court in Division 1 this season.

“Looking in this room, we’ve got some lovely females that were apart of a journey - they were (Division) 2 champions last year - we will recover that,” Charles said.

“We understand there was certain reason why we landed where we landed, so we’ve taken a reset, and as people will see were introducing an Under 23 youth team, and there’s no other reason that it won’t grow into a senior team in the future.”

The men’s program will enter Year 3 with aspirations to excel into championship level.

“I’ve got a passion from when we started this two years ago, coming into our third year now that from the men’s program primarily our aim is to get into Championship level by Year 5,” Men’s Coach, Scott McKenzie said.

Gippsland United Men were promoted in Division 1 in their first season in the Big V, and made big impressions in their opening shot in Division 1.

McKenzie has been with the club since its inception and has improved as the years have gone by.

“With the group that we’ve got together this year,

and then with the back-up of the new youth league guys, the men’s program is in really good stead going forward and should stay that way for another few years,” McKenzie said.

“Without that togetherness and without that unity between everyone, we don’t have success.

So, I would be expecting success because the unity between these guys is awesome.”

Gippsland United import, Jalin Wimberly is excited to get the season started, and see what the Australian basketball scene is all about.

“I’m mostly looking forward to playing with the guys for the first time, it’s gonna be a big experience playing with a bunch of new guys so I’m really looking forward to just playing and get some dubs,” Wimberly said.

Wimberly has made a seemingly easy transition into the team and states he has felt welcomed from day one.

“These guys love me, I love the guys - it’s like we’ve been playing for years, it’s been good,” he said.

With aspirations of taking out the whole championship, Wimberly hopes to add another spark to Gippsland United, and looks forward to “cause some chaos” in the league.

Stephen O’Brien stepped into the co-captaincy role alongside Jordan Canovan for 2024, after spending the last two seasons in the leadership group. He too is looking forward to seeing what season 2024 has in store.

“I think that the team felt like we underachieved last year, we felt like we were one of the better squads, got knocked out in the semi (final) which was disappointing. So this year, we’ve definitely rest, refocussed, and are pushing to go for another championship. Anything else will be a disappointing season,” O’Brien said.

Specifically, Gippsland United have looked at deficiencies from seasons past, and looked to

vacate those spots with people who can fill those deficiencies.

O’Brien named Korumburra’s Joel Winderlich who is expected to give some extra scoring punch, as well as Warragul’s Riley Morehu, who will add some depth at point guard.

Stepping into the co-captaincy role, O’Brien doesn’t think it will change much, but instead will extract the thoughts of the whole team through one voice.

Councillor Sharon Gibson shared her excitement during the launch, expressing how thrilled she was for the season to get underway and wishes all teams nothing but success.

The season is scheduled to tip off this weekend on March 16 and 17, with Gippsland United hosting two home games, against Whittlesea (March 16) and Altona (March 17).

ToughstarttoVNL lifeforGippslandStars NETBALL VNL

BY ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

IT was a tough night for the Stars last Wednesday, March 6, as the Stars lost their first-ever game, 74-32, to last year's Victorian Netball League Grand Finalists, North East Blaze.

Though Blaze had the first centre pass, they managed to secure possession and went five goals up to none after the Gippsland team couldn’t force the ball into their shooting circle.

The Blaze were a well-oiled machine transitioning the ball into attack as if it were second nature.

Vice-captain Myah Healey got the ball rolling at around the four-minute mark, sinking a beautiful shot from mid-range to get the Stars on the board.

For much of the game, it was all one-way traffic in the Blaze’s direction, as the Stars found it difficult to bring the ball down the court due to the Blaze's full-court pressure.

Blaze’s Dee Dee Lambert and Sale Magpie in the Gippsland League were unstoppable for the opposition. Lambert was the goal scorer of the match, sinking 32 shots with 91.43 percent efficiency.

Traralgon’s Sophie Lecchino worked well to

assist Healey in the goal ring, lobbing a ball into the perfect space, which saw the stars get their third goal.

The Gippsland team began to handle the pressure from their fierce fii opponent and forced some errrors late in the first fii quarter, but the leead was already too far gone. The Blazze had 20 goals to the Stars seven by y the first fii break.

Morwell’s Chloo e Radford and Bairnsdale’s Pariss Dunkley ran the centre well, but there was nothing she could do; the Blaze had their years of training together, complete with set plays and systeems.

Healey was instrumental in most of the Star's goals, holding strong desp pite the score being a targett in the goal circle.

The Stars defenders were under the pump all game as the ball kept flying back to attack.

In the second quarter, Heyfield’s Jayde Parsons took the court for the first time in goal keeper with her work cut out for her against Lambert.

The Stars found some rhythm and scored goals a little easier th han they did in the fii term. Going 12 goals to 24 around first four minutes into quarter two.

Though Blaze wa as impressive, the Stars never gave up and fought until the very end. Vibees were high, and the on-court talk was still there.

By halftime, it was North East Blaze 40 to the Sttars’ 14.

Karingal’s Emma Felsovary scored thee first goal of the third teerm, but again, Blaze took control of the ball an nd kept increasing the margin.

In the final term, The Gippy Stars showed good

signs of perseverance, scoring 12 goals in the last 15 minutes.

Healey was named the player of the match for her outstanding effort in goal attack and goal shooter.

Stars head coach Jo Ballinger said the Under 23 side has had issues starting games in the preseason practice matches but has always managed to finish strong.

The Blaze, who were Division 1’s Grand Finalists losing out of the premiership, are hungry to go all the way in this brand new VNL season.

But for the Stars, their journey has only just begun.

The Stars will now take on fellow VNL newcomer the Bendigo Strikers tonight (Wednesday, March 13) at the State Hockey Netball Centre.

Last Week, the Strikers lost to Wilson Storage Southern Saints 65 to 27, dropping them to the bottom of the ladder.

The Strikers and Stars game will be a regional rumble so expect to see a lot of fight from the team in this exciting match-up.
