STUCK IN LIMBO

By PHILIP HOPKINS

MILLIONS of dollars of road upgrades in Gippsland are in limbo after a federal government audit that found a $33 billion blowout in infrastructure costs has led to funding cuts for road and rail projects, according to the Nationals MP for Gippsland, Darren Chester.

About 100 Victorian projects, including upgrades to the Great Alpine Road, were included in the review of 738 projects under the federal $80 billion Infrastructure Investment Program, the Weekly Times reported. The government said the overruns meant it could not afford any new projects for a decade, the WT said. It blamed the former Coalition government’s ‘press release’ projects that would never be delivered for the clogged program.

Mr Chester said the results of the review meant that any project in Gippsland that had not started construction was now on hold.

“If construction has not started, there will be no work,” he said. However, the final stage of the Traralgon-Sale duplication was three-quarters finished.

It was also unclear how much unspent money was in the program and where the alleged cost overruns had come from.

“There is no guarantee the money is still there and will be spent,” he said.

“The projects are in limbo.”

Mr Chester said he was concerned that more than $30 million of planned road safety works in Mallacoota, Lakes Entrance, Bairnsdale and Sale would not proceed.

“The signs which proudly announced road safety works scheduled to occur have disappeared because everything has been put on hold and the road authorities have no idea whether the work will ever be supported by the Labor party,” he said.

For example, the Mallacoota-Genoa Road was continuing to fall apart while the community waited on the federal

Minister for Transport, Catherine King, to deliver a promised $10 million upgrade.

“Sections of the road have been neglected since the Albanese government was elected last year,” Mr Chester said.

“We have no idea whether the money will be delivered, despite the fact that our region was severely impacted by the Black Summer bushfires and this road was a major problem during that disaster.”

Locals and visitors would face another fire season with a poorly maintained road. “The whole point of the $10 million funding was to improve safety and increase the resilience of this transport corridor to reduce the length of closures due to storms and fires,” Mr Chester added.

Mr Chester said the government had stipulated that projects of national significance would not be affected.

“However, will a traffic light on a high

crash intersection that would save lives be funded? It may not be deemed of national significance,” he said.

“It’s important that a corridor like the Princes Highway is deemed of national significance.”

From a regional Victorian perspective, Mr Chester said he was aware of the level of dysfunctionality and bureaucratic busk-passing that had become entrenched in the state-federal infrastructure program.

“Lives are being lost and much-needed productivity and connectivity gains are being sacrificed while bureaucrats fail to reach agreement on funding contributions and profiles for projects which have overwhelming community support,” he said.

Mr Chester said he feared the review had put at risk projects that he had been working on to improve the infrastructure outcomes for Gippsland for several years.

Gippsland says ‘No’ to the Referendum THE Voice Referendum was defeated on Saturday night, as the majority of Australia voted ‘No’ to constitutional change to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

At time of going to press, 78.2 per cent of the vote had been counted, with 60.6 per cent of Australia (8.29 million people) electing to vote ‘No’.

In Gippsland, the no vote was an overwhelming majority.

With almost 85 per cent of the vote counted, 72.9 per cent or 71,493 Gippslanders voted ‘No’. The ‘Yes’ vote garnered 27.1 per cent of the Gippsland minority.

In the other federal electorate that encompasses some of the Latrobe Valley, 66.5 per cent of Monash voted ‘No’ with a slightly higher ‘Yes’ vote in the electorate closer to the suburban areas with 31,477 ‘Yes’ Monash voters.

Despite these figures, Victoria had the highest support for the ‘Yes’ vote from all six states, with inner city electorates like Melbourne voting in support of the constitutional change as the polls predicted.

Victoria initially had the highest support for the Voice of any state, but that suffered a decline in the weeks leading up to polling day.

As the ‘No’ vote was declared around 7.30pm on Saturday night, a very emotional Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged defeat.

“My fellow Australians, at the outset, I want to say that while tonight’s result is not one that I had hoped for, I absolutely respect the decision of the Australian people,’’ he said.

“Our government will continue to seek better outcomes for Indigenous Australians and their children and generations to come.

“Maintain your hope and know that you are loved.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester, who has been staunch in his opposition to the machinations of the Voice from the outset, said now as the time to move forward together.

“Australia has spoken in the referendum and I respect the outcome,” he said.

“I want to thank the overwhelming majority of Gippslanders who participated in this referendum with respect and a kind heart towards their fellow countrymen and women from diverse backgrounds.

“The referendum result reinforces our national anthem: Australians all let us rejoice for we are one and free.

“As a nation … we have rejected a proposal that would have divided us for generations. But that doesn’t mean Australians don’t want to do more to improve the lives of all vulnerable people, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

“This is not a day to be triumphant because our nation is more divided today than it was 18 months ago.

“I remain committed to being a positive force in uniting our great nation, and providing practical help to people who need it.”

Latrobe City Councillor Tracie Lund took to Facebook to re-affirm her solidarity to First Nations people.

“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians remain the first people of this land.

Most importantly, now more than ever, they deserve a voice, recognition, and rightful place in our constitution,” she said.

“While I’m unclear how we move forward to do this. I do know that to move forward, we will need somehow to work to mend the significant harm that has been caused to so many.”

Cr Lund went on to say that “progress is slow” but the “recovery starts today”.

The voice failure, reflected more than just a citycountry divide, but also an income and educational divide - as reported by the ABC interview with Emeritus Professor of Sociology Andrew Jakubowicz from the University of Technology Sydney.

“Having higher education in particular contributes to someone’s likelihood of voting ‘Yes’,” he said.

Their say: ‘No’ campaigners outside the Morwell voting centre.

Professor Jakubowicz said working class or migrant voters were more concerned with the cost-of-living than the Voice.

“If the economic pressures weren’t as critical, the outcome might have been different,” he said.

The national opposition leader Peter Dutton said the referendum was unnecessary.

“What we’ve seen tonight is Australians literally in their millions reject the Prime Minister’s divisive referendum,” he said.

The national Liberals pledged to implement practical solutions to improve outcomes for Indigenous communities.

In a state government joint statement on the Voice, the state said they could understand the pain and hurt that has come from the referendum result.

“Australians have decided that the Commonwealth approach to change the Constitution - in this particular way - was not the right way to go,” it said.

The Premier Jacinta Allan reconfirmed Victoria’s

commitment to respect Indigenous rights and culture.

“We’ll keep working towards a stronger, fairer future for Aboriginal Victorians - led by, shaped by and driven by Aboriginal Victorians,” the state government said.

The state coalition released a joint statement from the leader of the Opposition John Pesutto and Nationals leader Peter Walsh.

“Australians voted in the Voice referendum and the Victorian Liberals and Nationals acknowledge and respect the result,” they said.

“With the referendum now over, we must all rally and unite to close those gaps in life outcomes which, to this day, deny so many First Nations people the dignity and equality of opportunity they deserve.

“The Victorian Liberals and Nationals reaffirm our commitment to working with Indigenous communities across Victoria to close the gap and to achieve a better future for First Nations people.”

Professor Paula Gerber at Monash University Faculty of Law said the referendum result was a big step backwards between Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations.

“This referendum has been described as Australia’s ‘Brexit moment’. The rejection of constitutional recognition and the Voice may well be followed by ‘buyer’s remorse’ in the months and years afterwards as Australians come to terms with the negative implications of this outcome,” she said.

“We are unlikely to see any further attempts to amend our constitution for a very long time, as politicians will think there is no point trying to modernise our constitution because Australians will always reject change.

“The result is our rule book will become outdated and not fit for purpose. The drafters of it empowered the people to change the Constitution, and if Australians always “vote no, because they don’t know” then we have given up the power to change the rules to better suit our contemporary society.”

Indigenous leaders have called for a week of silence to allow country to grieve and reflect on the referendum. Indigenous flags will fly at half mast.

Concerning regional SLICE illicit drug use rates OF THE CRIME Stoppers Victoria is urging the public to share what they know about the drug trade in a bid to tackle organised crime syndicates as part of its National Illicit Drugs Campaign.

The call for information comes as new wastewater data has Victorians topping the list for consumption of the dangerous super drug fentanyl.

According to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, Victorians ranked first in Australia for capital city consumption of heroin, ketamine, and the highly deadly fentanyl.

Regional Victoria ranked first nationally in consumption of heroin, and second in the consumption of fentanyl and oxycodone.

Fentanyl use is considered an epidemic in North America and is a highly addictive opioid which is up to 100 times stronger than morphine - with just 2mg enough to cause a deadly overdose.

The drug contributed to nearly 110,000 deaths in the USA last year alone and is often mixed into cocaine and heroin by drug dealers to increase profit margins - leaving unsuspecting drug users at an even higher risk of harm.

Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive Stella Smith said organised crime syndicates who were distributing harmful drugs such as fentanyl had the potential to devastate Victoria.

“We’ve already seen the high-harm that illicit drugs such as ice can have on our community, with fentanyl the latest drug to potentially destroy the lives of individuals and families,” she said.

“On an almost weekly basis we are seeing significant drug busts by authorities. This highlights the level outlaw motorcycle gangs and other organised crime groups are willing to go to as they attempt to harm Victorians through their greed of making a profit. “These drug syndicates don’t care about the health and safety of Victorians - they only care about making money.

“If you don’t think the drug trade affects you - think again. From increased family violence incidents to aggravated burglaries, extreme violence, motor vehicle theft, road trauma and a lack of health professionals due to drug overdoses, the

illicit drug trade affects everyone and is a scourge on our society.”

Ms Smith said those operating in the drug trade often reach a point where they feel in over their head and have threats of violence made to them or their families - with Crime Stoppers offering them a lifeline to anonymously share what they know.

“If you’re in over your head or looking for a way out, if you make an anonymous report to Crime Stoppers, those people will never know it was you who saved yourself,” Ms Smith said.

Ms Smith also said employees involved in the freight, logistics and security industries were being urged to make a report to Crime Stoppers if they see suspicious activity.

“These industries are being increasingly targeted by organised crime and we’re asking anyone who sees anything suspicious to make a report to Crime Stoppers,” she said.

“From large shipments being paid for in cash, to colleagues becoming secretive, interested in restricted areas or showing off extravagant items, even a small piece of information could ultimately lead to more arrests and a safer community.”

Victoria Police Acting Assistant Commissioner, Karen Nyholm, said police had zero tolerance for drug traffickers of any kind, “Especially those who prey on the vulnerable and deal drugs which cause the most damage in our communities.”

“As part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the drug trade, local detectives across the state work closely with our counterparts in Crime Command, including Victoria Police’s Major Drug Squad, Clandestine Laboratory Squad and the Melbournebased Joint Organised Crime Task Force led by the AFP,” Ms Nyholm said.

“Information provided via Crime Stoppers Victoria is critical in identifying and progressing investigations into serious criminal offences, including drug trafficking, manufacturing, and cultivation.

“Without the assistance of the community providing key information to Crime Stoppers, many investigations would continue to go unsolved.”

"It is most unusual for us to run an appeal for both fire and flood victims at the same time," Mr Tegart said.

"The forecast conditions for the coming fire season may also draw on GERF support for impacted residents in Gippsland."

Wellington Shire Council Mayor, Ian Bye, welcomed GERF's announcement. "The Wellington community is a resilient bunch, and in times like this we know that communities will come together and support each other, especially when conditions continue to change so quickly," Cr Bye said.

"We continue to speak to community members looking for ways to give back to people impacted, and this fundraiser is the perfect way to help and make sure it lands in the hands of people who need it. The Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund will work with council to identify impacted people and allocate funds to support relief and recovery activities."

Donations to the appeal can be easily made via the GERF website at gerf.org.au and all donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.

Donations for disaster relief THE Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (GERF) has launched an appeal to raise money to support Gippsland residents affected by the current fire and flood emergency.

GERF's task is to responded promptly to help residents in time of emergency and the group is again faced with circumstances where vital financial support to fire and flood victims is required.

Families, farmers and communities are adversely affected by the recent bushfires and current flood emergency, and will need assistance in recovery.

GERF president, Andy Tegart, said work was being done behind the scenes to help those in need.

"Assessments are underway by municipal recovery managers and we would like to be in a position to respond promptly when referrals for financial assistance come through," he said.

"Every dollar donated to the appeal is distributed to those affected by fire or flood and individuals and businesses in Gippsland have always been very generous in their support."

GERF has been supporting Gippsland residents hit by natural disaster since 1978 and is run completely by volunteers. It has made available more than $19 million worth of emergency resources and

Artistic flair on display at Spring Show

BY KATRINA BRANDON

REACHING almost 80 years of history, the Moe Art Society put on its 79th art show on October 8.

Moe Art Society shared its opening night and exhibit with many primary school students within the Moe area.

The exhibit features more than 200 art pieces in different mediums and styles. Works have been sent in by primary school students of the area and members of the Moe Art Society.

“Each school got 23 canvases, which were funded by the council. South Street was so enthusiastic they bought another 20 canvases,” Moe Art Society president Beryl Galloway said.

“Next year, we would like to bring in Lowanna College because they have a very good art faculty over there.”

Mediums from acrylics, photography, watercolour, oil and more were seen adorning the walls.

The pieces came in all different sizes, both big and small.

On the opening night, there were many speakers,

including Councillor Sharon Gibson from Latrobe City Council, Cultural Infusion chief executive officer, Peter Mousaferiadis and profound arts consultant Rob Robson.

“I am seeing so many ideas in this room. That is what the arts are - Volumes of ideas. The arts are great for manifesting creativity. The arts are transformative and have kept me off the streets,” Mr Mousaferiadis said.

“The arts are an incredible driver for fostering empathy, fostering cultural understanding because when we find more about others, we find more about ourselves.

“Today we are finding a lot through the different paintings.”

Cr Gibson said that over the years she has visited the art show, it has grown in size and continues to feature beautiful works.

“It has grown so much, and to see the kids here tonight is so wonderful … you aren’t allowed to do any more paintings of the cats because I have no more room on the walls,” Cr Gibson joked.

Many of the works are for sale, even pieces from

budding young art students - ranging from $10 to $100.

According to Mr Mousaferiadis, art engages all senses - becoming a haven for many. It allows people to express themselves and their everyday observations.

Ms Galloway echoed these sentiments.

“It’s very good for you. We only have to look at all those children’s works and see how happy they were to be involved,” she said.

“I think young people should nurture it like there were children here (on Friday) drawing and enjoying it.”

Award-winning artist Sharon Wootton said that “as an artist, the hardest thing is sending off a painting to be sent off to an exhibit”.

Creative space for GPAC

MORE artists, creative organisations and communities across Latrobe Valley will benefit from new spaces to create and showcase their work, with boosted investment to upgrade and repurpose local facilities for creative use.

Latrobe City Council will complete a dedicated creative industries training space at Traralgon’s Gippsland Performing Arts Centre thanks to the recent state government announcement.

On Wednesday, October 11 the Minister for Creative Industries, Colin Brooks announced an investment of more than $500,000 through the latest round of the Creative Neighbourhood Infrastructure Support Program (LGA Category), creating more opportunities for every Victorian to celebrate their creativity.

The program will help support the select local councils to provide artists and creative practioners

with fit-for-purpose, accessible and secure facilities when they can develop their work and careers.

The program will also make more creative spaces open for local communities across the state.

The Creative Neighbourhood Infrastructure Support Program is part of the state government’s $6 million Creative Spaces and Places program, and is supported by the Community Support Fund.

“This program is all about unlocking and improving the spaces available for creative work across every corner of Victoria, so everyone has the opportunity to create and exhibit their work in their community,” Mr Brooks said.

“Whether you’re a creative professional in metro or regional Victoria, we are giving more local communities access to facilities that enable high quality productions, exhibitions and other creative offerings.”

Emergency markers installed THE Moe Yallourn Rail Trail Committee of Management, a small but active group of volunteers, is responsible for caring for and maintaining the Moe Yallourn Rail Trail.

The rail trail runs between Moe and Yallourn power station with a side track beside Hall’s Bay that creates a loop down to Lake Narracan and links back to the trail via Sullivans Track.

The rail trail provides a great place to walk, jog or ride.

But, what if an unforeseen emergency strikes you along the way?

Fear not, the Moe Yallourn Rail Trail is one of only 10 rail trails in Victoria which has installed Emergency Service Telecommunication Authority’s (ESTA) Emergency Markers to support 000 calls and to ensure user safety and peace of mind.

Accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere, and it’s essential to be prepared.

Safety first: Emergency markers along the Moe Yallourn Rail Trail.

Photograph supplied

If you have ever walked along the trail you may have noticed some markers along the trail. These ESTA Emergency Markers offer the advantage of capturing all important details for computer-aided dispatch call takers and responder to be timely and effective.

By quoting the unique six-character alphanumeric code displayed on the emergency marker, trail users can provide emergency call receivers with clear, unambiguous directional text. This vital information can help responders by guiding them precisely to the closest intersection and access point for the rail trail and site of the incident.

The Moe Yallourn Rail Trail currently has 11 markers strategically placed along its length, with a 12th marker soon to be added along the Hall’s Bay Loop Track.

When you see an ESTA Emergency marker, remember that they are installed to ensure community safety in open spaces. And a tip: make a game of remembering the alpha-numeric codes as you pass them, so you can call in the correct location if necessary.

For more information on emergency markers, visit esta.vic.gov.au All the work of the Committee and Friends of the Rail Trail is carried out by a small group of enthusiastic (and aging) volunteers.

The committee is looking at ways to attract new committee members. If you are interested in giving back to the community, then the committee would love to hear from you. Email moeyallournrailtrail@ hotmail.com if you are interested in chatting further.

2023 marked the Year of Strzelecki OCTOBER 6, 2023 marked 150 years since the death of the Polish explorer and scientist, Sir Paweł (Paul) Strzelecki.

Strzelecki was born on July 20, 1797 in Głuszyna, Pozna , Poland, and died on October 6, 1873 in London. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Strzelecki’s death, the Sejm of the Republic of Poland (Polish government) declared Strzelecki a Patron of 2023 and proclaimed 2023 as the Year of Strzelecki.

It is acknowledged that Strzelecki played an important part in the European exploration and naming of Gippsland (Gipps Land).

However, the significance of his contributions through his scientific works and publications, especially that immediately in the local press and that detailed within the 1845 publication, Physical Description of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land, to the greater development of Australia, particularly farming, forestry, mineralogy and mining, and enhanced trade on Australia’s east coast in the mid-late 1800s, has been underplayed for a range of reasons including those that took to discrediting Strzelecki’s works.

Additionally, Strzelecki was not initially credited as one of Australia’s earliest discoverers of gold (along with fellow Pole, John Lhotsky) which he did in 1839, nor the subsequent gold rush that ensued in the decades following the first widely promoted discovery of gold in 1851 owing to adhering to Governor Gipps’ (Geroge Gipps) request not to disclose his discoveries of precious metals such as gold and silver.

In 1856, after the discoveries of gold became public, Strzelecki published The Discovery of Gold and Silver in Australia - Gold and Silver: A supplement to Strzelecki’s Physical Description of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land.

Similarly, Strzelecki is also understated in his role of supporting immigration from Ireland to Australia (with Caroline Chisholm) when leading the British Relief Association during the Irish famine - a role in which he was responsible for saving more than 200,000 Irish from starvation.

He was also a member of Lord Herbert's, and the Duke of Wellington's Emigration Committees, as well as a member of the Crimean Army Fund Committee, working closely with Florence Nightingale on this and other matters across several decades.

His accomplishments saw him awarded widely, including the Royal

Geographical Society’s Founders Medal, a Companion of the Order of the Bath, a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George and an Honorary Doctor of Civil Law from Oxford University.

It is also important to acknowledge that Strzelecki and his travelling party comprising James Macarthur (a relative of New South Wales politicians,, John and d James Macarthur) and James Rileey, were also accompanied by the Ind digenous Charley Tarra (for whom Tarra Bulga National Parrk is named in-part) thrr ough Gippsland along with servants Joh hn Kent (Rent) and d James Nolan.

Tarra was insttrumental in protecting and d saving thee lives of the trav velling g parrty

throughout, least of all in Gippsland when capturing kangaroos, koalas (referred to as monkeys) and lyrebirds, which they mostly ate raw on account of being unable to form a fire in the conditions at the time after they had all but exhausted their food rations and encountered near impenetrable bushland inhibiting their planned path to Corner Inllett.

Strzelecki either directly or indirectly.

Prominently within his written works, particularly the Physical Description of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, Strzelecki’s scientific observations and promotion included, inter alia, the state of colonial agriculture (including what had already been done to advantage Australia), botany including forestry, flora and fauna (including fossils), climate, geology and mineralogy and land and marine surveys (including hydrology). It also highlighted what further resources could be utilised for the application of industry and capital on the part of the colonists as well as the physical, moral, and social state of the Aborigines.

As a result of Strzelecki’s works, Australia, and particularly Gippsland has enjoyed great benefit and development across a range of sectors critical for the country’s prosperity.

In celebrating the achievement of Strzelecki on this sesquicentenary of his death, activities and events are being hosted in various parts of the world where Strzelecki made a significant impact and left a lasting legacy.

It is understood that 50 Strzelecki Ambassadors were selected from the Polish diaspora that will traverse Gippsland in the first weeks of December 2023.

Earlier in 2023, representatives of the Monaro Ngarigo Indigenous peoples, custodians of the region encompassing Mt Kosciuszko named by Strzelecki as he believed it reminded him of Kosciuszko Mound in Krakow, Poland, and was a fitting tribute to the Polish national hero, Lieutenant-General Tadeusz Kosciuszko, participated in activities in Poland including Strzelecki’s hometown of Poznan as well as other prominent cities in Strzelecki’s life such as Krakow and Warsaw, and met with the Australian Ambassador to Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republic, His Excellency, Lloyd Brodrick. The Monaro Ngarigo Indigenous peoples also have a shared ‘border’ with the Gunaikurnai peoples of Gippsland.

From near Morwell, they abandoned their horses and packs and made for Corinella (the home of the first Government House in what is now Victoria).

Australia more broadly has benefited greatly from Strzelecki’s pioneering exploration, publications and promotion, particularly Gippsland, both in written word in the newspapers, and his exemplary 1845 publication, the Physical Description of New Soouth Wales and Van Diemen's Land (noting Victoria had not been proclaimed at this timee) as well as word of mouth, both domestica a lly and internation nally (especially the United King Kii gdom and Ireland).

A call to reduce threats of future fires MORE than 130 people attending a public meeting at Mallacoota last week have called for fuel reduction on public land to fight the threat of bushfires in Gippsland.

The meeting, organised by the Howitt Society, sought to focus on the question “Are Mallacoota and East Gippsland in general prepared for another major fire?”

The resolution arose after a presentation by the world-renowned forest fire expert Dr Kevin Tolhurst, Associate Professor in Fire Ecology and Management in the Department of Forest and

Ecosystem Science, University of Melbourne.

Professor Tolhurst died shortly after presenting his address.

The resolution, passed overwhelmingly, was “That this meeting requests The Howitt Society to recommend to government that the current Safer Together policy, which focuses on burning strategically to protect assets, be extended to a broad-based approach, aiming for a minimum of five per cent of Victoria’s public land being fuel-reduced annually, as per Recommendation 56 of the 2009 Bushfires Royal Commission.”

Photo: File

The society's president, Peter Flinn, said this change was essential to lessen the ember attack caused by high intensity fire some distance from the assets.

The recommendation also recognises that the forest itself is an asset which needs to be protected using regular low intensity fire, in order to maintain forest health and protect environmental values within the forest, including flora, fauna, soil and water.

The presentation from Dr Tolhurst clearly showed how the fire that hit Mallacoota in 2019/20 would have been much less severe had there been regular fuel reduction burning operations in the surrounding forest area.

Other key messages from the presentation included: -On days of extreme fire danger, a wildfire progresses by a series of spot fires, often a long way ahead of the fire front. These spot fires are caused by burning embers driven by wind and cause the loss of most assets such as houses; -For every hectare of fuel reduction achieved, there will be three hectares of reduction in the area burnt by wildfire, and at a lower intensity; -Of the many factors affecting fire intensity (wind, temperature, humidity, slope and fuel type and quantity) the only factor which managers can influence is fuel quantity. Fuel reduction burning is the most cost effective way of reducing that fuel.

Mr Flinn said sadly, this was Dr Tolhurst’s last presentation.

"His knowledge of forest fire management was unsurpassed and he had the ability to pass that knowledge on to others," he said.

"It was fitting that all those attending the meeting, who were keen to gain more knowledge about fire prevention and management techniques to keep communities safe, were the final beneficiaries

No major Gippsland projects from Labor From Page 1

"THERE is not a single major infrastructure project under way in Gippsland that was funded by the Labor government," he said.

"I have not been able to get a straight answer for 18 months. I will press for more information."

The government says it is finalising a new plan that is expected to be released before the end of the year so that the new information can be fed into the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook due by the end of January.

The Weekly Times reported that projects are being

evaluated not just on scale but also the importance of smaller projects valued at $5 million or below.

These relate to importance to tourism, improving road and rail and connecting supply lines.

WT said road safety projects were expected to be protected from any carve-up.

Fundraiser makes return with art show AFTER a break of more than 10 years, local artist and art teacher, Janice Timmins will once again present her ‘Art Through the Ages Show’ at the Traralgon Neighbourhood House in support of the Special Care Nursery at Latrobe Regional Health (LRH).

Janice is a keen supporter of community causes after migrating to Morwell in the 1960s with her parents and eight siblings.

“The generosity shown to us when we arrived.

There would be boxes of vegetables on the doorstep, homemade cakes, all placed there by neighbours welcoming us to the area and providing a bit of extra support to my mum and dad,” she recalled.

That generosity, coupled with the loss of her son John to meningococcal virus as a 13-year-old, has fuelled a lifetime of support and donating to LRH and its predecessor, the Central Gippsland Hospital in Traralgon.

“Because John died when he was 13, he didn’t leave a legacy, he didn’t leave anything behind.

We wanted people to remember him, so that’s why we started the art show in memory of John James Timmins,” Janice said.

The ‘Art Through the Ages Show,’ returns on Friday, October 20 and features art from many of Janice’s students.

“We’ll have more than 300 art works on display, the majority of which will be for sale,” Janice said.

“We always promote my students’ work rather than my own. The hope being that someone without a history of painting will see their work hung on a wall in a show and maybe achieve a sale too, which is always a thrill.”

Janice is modest about how much the event will raise but all proceeds will go to the Special Care Nursery at LRH. “It’s only a small amount, but everything will go to the Special Care Nursery, it always has.

Over the years we’ve raised $25,000,” Janice said.

The Art Through the Ages Show will be opened

by Latrobe City Deputy Mayor, Councillor Dan Clancey at the Traralgon Neighbourhood House, Breed Street, Traralgon on Friday, October 20 at 7pm with wine, soft drinks and supper available.

The show will continue on Saturday, October 21 between 10am and 3pm where there will also be hand-made art and crafts available for purchase.

Return: Traralgon artist Janice Timmins’ art show to help raise money for Special Care Nursery at Latrobe Regional Hospital is making a comeback.

MORE than 200 artefacts recovered from the famed Titanic are set to captivate audiences across Melbourne, with the TITANIC: The Artefact Exhibition taking over Melbourne Museum for an Australian exclusive.

The Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Steve Dimopoulos, announced the exhibition will run from December 16, 2023 until April 14, 2024, direct from a sold-out season in Paris, attracting visitors from near and far to the heart of Melbourne for this immersive exhibition.

The iconic story of the Titanic and its ill-fated maiden voyage has continued to captivate, educate and break hearts in the 111 years since it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The exhibition will feature meticulously recreated ship interiors including the Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite and Verandah Cafe to give visitors an insight into the grandeur of the world’s greatest ocean liner in 1912.

Visitors to the exhibition will receive a boarding pass and step on board to connect to the human side of the tragedy through personal stories and possessions of passengers and crew who faced unimaginable circumstances.

New in 2023, the refreshed exhibition will feature a touchable piece of the Titanic hull alongside the vast collection of authentic objects salvaged from the sea floor.

TITANIC: The Artefact Exhibition will also explore the enduring fascination from the media and the public showing how the event has inspired films, books, songs, and artworks that continue to captivate audiences across generations.

The preeminent Titanic exhibition, affiliated with RMS Titanic - the only company permitted by law to recover artefacts from the wreckage - is expected to drive interstate and international visitors to the state.

Learning that lasts a lifetime

C

hairo in Traralgon provides engaging, challenging and flexible programs that cater for varied learning styles.

From three-year-old and four-year-old kindergarten through to Year 8, students are encouraged to develop a love of learning and explore their gifts and abilities in a caring environment.

Caroline, one of the mums at the campus, said: ‘The children are made to feel that they belong, like they are a part of a bigger family’.

In the kindergarten program, the natural curiosity and creativity of the children are fostered by encouraging them to use their senses to explore the world around them; to inquire, plan and collaborate; and to grapple with and solve problems.

Children are active learners who learn best when encouraged to be involved, given choices and presented with a variety of opportunities.

The Prep to Year 2 program follows on

well from kindergarten and includes investigative learning sessions where students explore literacy, numeracy, science and social science concepts through play-based learning activities.

They learn to set goals, report back their findings and share with and learn from others.

From Year 3, students continue exploring learning through education research projects that stretch their thinking and develop independent learning skills. Other programs such as VCOP and SMART Spelling begin in Prep and are built on each year through to Year 8.

Chairo’s Junior School (Prep to Year 4), Middle School (Years 5–8) and Senior School (Years 9–12) model facilitates a smooth transition through the year levels. Transitioning into Year 9 at Chairo’s campus in Drouin is supported by providing various intercampus opportunities throughout the year, including camps and sporting activities.

The deep hope at Chairo is that students will become young men and women of character, capability and commitment, who will have a positive impact in the world around them.

Students in the community

MONASH Rural Health first year graduate-entry medical students have just completed their community placements across Gippsland.

Students completed four visits each semester and this year is the first year the program has been re-introduced since COVID. Feedback from both students and placement providers has been extremely positive. Churchill Neighbourhood House Manager, Nathan Brown, said he loved having the seven students who were involved in a number of the house’s programs including wellbeing courses like Pilates for locals, the Men’s Shed program, the food bank and the community garden.

According to Mr Brown, the students participated in a real grassroots community program with a very diverse client-base.

“We aren’t one of the big players in Morwell, like St Vincent de Paul. I like to think they are the tiles, and we are the grout, providing help and assistance to local families and people on a very one-on-one basis,” he said.

“We get wealthy people who move here to retire, and perhaps have lost their savings. They have a great house and car, but can’t put food on the table. We have young, old, everyone and it’s a great learning for the students because they truly learn what is going on in the community, and what it needs.”

One of the programs that Mr Brown was keen

to get the students involved in was the design and fit out of the new food bank.

“We don’t give the students crappy jobs, we want them to become an advocate for the community later when they are doctors,” he said.

According to Associate Professor Marg Simmons, from Monash Rural Health Churchill who is coordinating the community placements, “the aim of the community-based practice program gets Year A medical students out in the community to see how social justice and equity play out in relation to medicine - for example, how care is provided to disadvantaged groups and factors contributing to disadvantage."

“The program is a great example of our students connecting and contributing to local community while they're in the region on placement. It’s something the students love doing, and it’s so great being back after having to stop the program because of COVID.” Morwell Neighbourhood House Manager Tracie Lund said the Monash Rural Health students helped out in their food bank.

“They assisted by making homemade meals which can be frozen, prepping and serving meals or doing the meet and greet,” she said.

“We are very much as community-based model so the students were immersed in a real grassroots organisation.”

From Wednesday 22 November through h to Wednesday 13 December we will select 4 recipes per weeek that will then be published in our “R Recipes for a Perfect Ch hristmas” feature. This feature will be very well read, as we are surre it will instill Festive inspiration in many.

From those 12 reccipes we will then seleect the 3 winning recip pes that will win voucchers that can be spen nt at advertisers who participate in the feature.

Please send all reccipes to bookings@lvexxpress.com.au with the recipe, a photto of the completed diish, author’s name and d phone number.

Community: Monash Rural Health students joined staff from Morwell Neighbourhood House as part of their placement.

2023 HIA Eastern Victoria Regional Housing Awards

Eight awards for Virtue Homes

VIRTUE Homes won eight Housing Industry Association (HIA) Eastern Victoria Regional Awards.

Managing director Mick Nicola said it was a “great achievement” and attributed Virtue’s success to the team’s hard work and dedication.

“Over the years we’ve just built such a great team and attracted good people… they’re so good at what they do and are so passionate - it’s really rare to find,” he said.

“You get a good team like that together and you’re unstoppable.”

Virtue Homes were commended by HIA judges for their delivery of quality workmanship and attention to detail.

Virtue specialises in custom homes, something Mr Nicola said allows them to deliver the best possible outcomes for customers.

“People have a lot of great ideas, and they can design the home with their own layouts. Each home is different and unique,” Mr Nicola said.

At Virtue Homes, Mick Nicola likes to have consistency and the ability to exceed expectations and set a high

quality, high standard. “We really just try to think out of the square and just to create something different and unique for each owner, something that suits their lifestyle and needs.

“It definitely gives us consumer confidence in knowing they are building with a builder that is recognised for the quality and stands out from the others. Just being able to trust us and having the experts pick us as a winner is amazing for us.

“When we build our displays, they are a team effort of everyones’ ideas that we put all together.

We roll them all up into one product which is really unique and it pushes the boundaries of the normal trends and pushes them to the next level.

They are always different, all have different styles, and different ideas in our display homes. That’s what we really love, it’s really exciting and challenging. Really proud of what comes out in the end.”

“I’d like to thank the team and everyone involved for all their hard work and passion. It really does show in the end quality of our homes, I couldn’t do it without them.”

Hospital recruitment goes global

LATROBE Regional Health has been looking near and far for new nurses, doctors and allied health professionals to join the team.

There is growing demand and a need for more than 200 new staff.

“We’ve certainly stepped up our work within Australia in terms of recruitment as we look forward to opening a major expansion of the hospital in 2023,” LRH Chief Executive Don McRae said.

“But we’ve also worked to bring staff in from overseas for some of those positions.”

A small team from LRH attended a jobs fair in London recently, enabling them to follow up with existing overseas contacts and meet potential candidates.

“We held more than 200 interviews over the five days we were in London with nurses, allied health professionals and doctors,” Mr McRae said.

“As a result, we have been able to advance more than 45 candidates to more formal interviews with our unit managers at LRH so there are positive signs they’ll be eligible to join us here in Gippsland.”

LRH People and Culture Manager Marie Downie said a number of people attending the jobs fair had a desire not just to come to Australia, but to work and live in a regional area.

“It was interesting to see so many people choosing

a more relaxed lifestyle over what might be offered in a major city hospital. It seems that COVID as well as the expense of living in Melbourne or Sydney have changed peoples’ thinking about where they can work and live,” she said.

“We had car loads of candidates who had driven several hours to attend interviews - all keen to explore working overseas with friends and eager to live and work somewhere they can enjoy a great lifestyle.”

LRH already has number of international staff who have been ‘ambassadors’ for living and working in a regional setting with some speaking passionately about the organisation’s culture in a promotional video.

“We might take the ease of getting around and the open spaces we enjoy in Gippsland for granted but for someone from London, Birmingham or Manchester, our region really does look like the promised land,” Ms Downie said.

The recruitment process will continue for the UK candidates, with the LRH team confident the trip will see a good return for their effort.

“There is a real desire among a lot of workers in the UK to come to Australia. We lost count of the number of times we heard "it’s always been my dream to work in Australia",” Mr McRae said.

International: Latrobe Regional Health is looking far and wide for new recruits.

“That coupled with the view the conditions and the broader environment are seen to be better here in Victoria than they currently experience in the

UK, has us with a high degree of confidence of increasing our staff numbers before our expansion opens.”

Men’s shed funding up for grabs THE Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron, is encouraging local men’s sheds to get their applications in for the Men's Shed Funding Program 2023/24.

The program provides grants of up to $100,000 for men’s sheds to build or improve facilities.

“Men’s sheds create safe and inclusive spaces where men can come together, foster social connections and actively participate in their communities,” Mr Cameron said.

“Meeting with our men’s sheds across the Valley, I have seen first hand the wonderful benefit they provide to not only their members, but also the broader community.

“I am also well aware that many groups have changing circumstances, looking to expand or require urgent repairs to facilitate their programs.”

Funding can be used for the construction of new men’s sheds, including the conversion of non-shed buildings into welcoming spaces, refurbishment, extension, or upgrades of existing men’s sheds.

The grant program also encourages projects that target a reduction in social isolation among men and fosters a culturally inclusive atmosphere.

“There’s tremendous work being done in men’s sheds across the region. They are important pillars in our community, actively contributing to men's health,

fostering social inclusion and facilitating vital connections,” Mr Cameron said.

Applications close on December 8, 2023.

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore

October 16 - October 22, 2023

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19) Friday’s Sun/Mercury conjunction favours companionship, networking and socialising. But there’s the potential for explosive Sun-Pluto power struggles on the weekend (with an authority figure, work colleague or loved one). So calm down and try to communicate with extra care and diplomacy, otherwise you could overreact and do or say something you later regret! Strive to be uncharacteristically patient, as you recalibrate and make frustration your friend.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

It’s a good week for mental focus, long-term planning and clever problem-solving, especially at work. But Bulls need to tread carefully with a temperamental colleague, client or customer who wants things done their way – and may not be prepared to compromise. On the weekend, pleasure-planet Jupiter trines Venus (your ruler) which is terrific for travelling, exploring, eating out, birthday parties, music festivals and socialising with friends.

GGemini (May 21 - June 20) Your wonderfully witty side could blossom, as you brainstorm ideas and amaze others with your quick-witted quips and clever comments.

But – if you are too hasty – then you could put your foot firmly in your mouth. When it comes to a relationship issue, are you desperately trying to fix a frustrating situation? Prepare for some resistance from others (especially a child, teenager or friend).

Quick fixes won’t work. You need to slow down and think things through.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) This week Pluto pushes your insecurity buttons, which could activate your protective Crab claws.

But the more defensive – and resistant to change – you are, the more exhausted you’ll feel. And the more difficult the week will be. Try to get the balance right between maintaining the status quo (with things that are working) and changing the asppects of your life that aren’t functioningg well. A close relationship certainly needs to be reviewed and renewed.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

There’s a challenging connection between Pluto and the Sun (your power planet) so try to avoid family squabbles, online arguments and run-ins with authority figures. If you are the person in charge, then resist the urge to be bossy and overbearing. Behaving like a demanding Diva will get you nowhere fast! Try to be extra patient … which is not one of your natural virtues. For some lucky Leos, Venus and Jupiter bless a work project or a joint financial venture.

Virgo g (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Expeect an eventful week, Virgo, as the Mercury/ Pluto square stirs up trouble. A double dose of diplomacy is required if you want to keep the peace. The focus is on friendships. How to nurture them, keep them … and then let them go if you have outgrown each other. You’ll find enjoyable mutual interests are essential to long-term platonic relationships. A close friend could also be the final piece of the puzzle as you follow the path to your true destiny.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) Venus (your patron planet) trines generous Jupiter which highlights flirtatious encounters, romantic adventures and long-term friendships.

But communication could be rather complicated, as possessiveness or jealousy rear their ugly heads.

So slap on a diplomatic smile and share the love around. As actress/writer (and Libran birthday great) Carrie Fisher observed: “Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.”

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21) This week the Sun and Mercury are at odds with powerful Pluto (your patron planet) which boosts your temperamental streak and your Scorpio control-freak tendencies. You could feel like you’re stuck in a self-sabotaging rut or even going backwards. You’ll find the more stubborn you are, the more challenging the week will be. Birthday great Tom Petty sings: “I won’t back down”, but you need to keep your options open and try to be much more flexible.

Sagittarius g (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Do you enjoy your job and does it stimulate your mind? This week, take the time to re-evaluate a professional matter (or a volunteer position) as Venus, Jupiter and Uranus stimulate your work sectors. The planets also activate your reputation zone, so make sure your public image is in line with your true Sagittarian self. Enjoy being the authentic you! Draw inspiration from birthday great, writer and wit Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

With the Sun (creativity) and Mercury (communication) in your career zone, it will be easier to sort out workplace problems than at other times. Especially if you articulate your thoughts and are prepared to compromise. A stressed colleague is hoping you can provide some astute advice and a helping hand. So do your best to be extra diplomatic. Singles – you coulld meet your soullmate whhile you (or thhey)) are travelling, or via an introduction from a friend.

St Paul’s interactive science education

EDUCATORS morphed into very significant scientists during St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Science Day. As a part of National Science Week and to ignite curiosity in different fields of science, the day took on a deliberately different style than a typical school day.

As educators impersonated some extremely notable scientists such as Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Marie Curie and Thomas Edison, they crafted a different teaching exercise that involved having students decipher who they

were - and students had a ‘blast’ trying to decode the clues.

Employing their scientific knowledge, educators formulated a medley of engaging and immersive activities that included: All About Cells, Digital Microscopes, Using Senses and Making Observations, Designing Marble Runs, Gravity and Bouncing Balls, Building Seismographs, Exploring Water filtration, Making Sherbet (chemical reactions), Awe & Wonder Chemical Reactions with Fizzy Colours and Elephant Toothpaste.

Aquarius q (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Som meone may pressure you to reveal information that was given to you in confidence. Hence your current moral and philosophical conundrum as you ponder: is honesty always the best policy? With the Sun and Mercury transiting through your travel zone, adventure and faraway places beckon. So start planning your itinerary now. It’s also important to keep up to date with your international contacts.

Who knows where they will eventually lead?

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20) This week’s stars favour study, research, relationships and short trips. But there could be some conflict around trust issues and keeping secrets. With Saturn and Neptune both transiting through your sign, try to be disciplined with yourself and compassionate towards others. Take the time to contemplate the wise words of birthday great, playwright Oscar Wilde: “Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us.”

New neurodiversity research FEDERATION University Australia’s is shining a spotlight on autism, ADHD and learning disabilities such as dyslexia in a new research project aimed at bolstering student retention and inclusion at university.

The Neurodiversity Inclusion and Success Project will promote the social and academic inclusion of neurodiverse students and staff at Federation University and is a collaboration between the university’s Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Student Services, Disability Services, the Institute of Education, Arts and Community as well as community stakeholders.

This initiative comes amid rising community awareness of neurodiversity as a discrete terrain of struggle for social justice, and of specific challenges faced by students and staff who are autistic, have ADHD, specific learning disabilities like dyslexia, or acquired neurodivergences like complex trauma.

To understand more about student and staff experiences and perceptions of neurodiversity, Federation University researchers are inviting current and past students and staff to participate in a survey. Both neurodivergent and neurotypical participants are welcome to take part.

“We live in a world where there is neurological diversity in how people think and learn. People may be neurodivergent due to autism, ADHD or other differences such as specific learning disability (often called dyslexia),” project leader for Neurodiversity Inclusion and Success, Dr Steve Edwards said.

“If we add up the numbers of people who are on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or a specific learning disability, then roughly one in five people in our community are neurodivergent. Australian

Bureau of Statistics tells us that neurodivergent adults are substantially less likely to gain a tertiary degree.”

The ABS estimates 0.7 per cent of the Australian population has autism, and of those people, only 8.1 per cent had a degree, compared to 16.1 per cent of people with a disability and 31.2 per cent of neurotypical adults.

“They might never move from secondary to tertiary study or if they do, find the barriers are too great for them to succeed with their learning or to feel socially included,” Dr Edwards said.

“It might be that universities don’t provide the right environment or individual support and it might be that students don’t feel they can ask for help.”

Neurodiverse students are under-registered for formal learning supports, and few organisationlevel strategies exist to promote a socially inclusive environment for neurodiverse students, the ABS data shows.

The researchers are hoping to find out more about the extent of neurodiversity at Federation and what strategies might assist social inclusion and academic success.

“We suspect that some neurodivergent students made it despite the challenges, some didn’t make it and failed or dropped out. We hope that some of these past (or present) students that we can’t reach through our normal channels are willing to share their experience through our survey.”

The Neurodiversity Inclusion and Success project can be reached via email at nd.inclusionandsuccess@ federation.edu.au, or by phone on (03) 5327 9165.

Mini Vinnies show support for local CFA

ST Joseph’s Primary School Trafalgar runs a Mini Vinnies Program to support social justice initiatives in the school.

The team comprises 20 students who volunteer to work as part of this group. They organise a number of fundraising activities to support different efforts.

Recently, the Mini Vinnies team fundraised to support the local Trafalgar CFA team.

The local Trafalgar CFA members were incredibly grateful for the $200 donation and then visited the school to show their gratitude. The students listened to CFA volunteer Marcus Barker (whose son Dean coincidently attended the school in the early 2000s) and Kate Watchow, as they explained the role of the CFA in the community. Students even got to use the fire truck hose.

And, of course, what’s a CFA fire truck visit without the sounding of the ‘fire siren’ at the end? The students were appropriately startled and alarmed (and a little excited at the same time) when this happened.

The visit was educational and served to publicly say thank you to the work of the Mini Vinnies team at the school.

Appreciation: St Joseph’s Primary School Trafalgar student Leader Tia Jamieson presenting a cheque to CFA volunteer Marcus Barker.

Teaching: Melissa taught the Sacred Heart Primary students the do’s and don’ts of pet ownership.

Photographs supplied MELISSA from the Responsible Pet Ownership program visited Sacred Heart Primary School Morwell and educated junior students about living safely with dogs and responsible pet ownership.

The visit not only included Melissa the educator but also the dog Duchess.

Students watched an animated presentation and participated in role playing, story time and songs.

The most important part was that the students learnt about when dogs should be left alone, things we should not do to dogs, how to tell when a dog is frightened or angry, a safe way to approach and greet a dog and what to do if approached by an aggressive dog.

Students were able to practise the skills they were taught by interacting with Duchess.

Fun was had by all involved.

WHILE all Victorians are struggling with soaring energy bills, it’s been revealed eastern Victorians are being slugged significantly more for energy than the inner city, according to Member for Eastern Victoria, Melina Bath.

St Vincent de Paul’s latest energy tracker report shows the average combined gas and electricity energy bill in metropolitan Melbourne is $736, while for regional Victorians it’s $773.

Ms Bath said the rising cost of energy was a real concern, and bill stress was having a profound impact on low and middle income earners and small business in her electorate.

“Labor’s lack of energy plan is hurting Victorians and causing inequality and financial stress.

Eastern Victorians are being punished with the highest combined energy bills in the state," she said.

“Furthermore, Latrobe Valley and Sale have the unwanted title of the highest bill, paying a whopping $810 on average per household for their combined energy costs - despite the region powering Victoria to keep the state’s lights on."

Ms Bath said for well over a decade, Labor’s promised cheap, reliable power, but it had bungled Victoria’s transition to renewables, causing sky high bills and a volatile energy market at risk of rolling blackouts.

"In July 2022 the average annual combined bill in eastern Victoria was $3615. Now in July 2023, the average annual combined energy household bill in eastern Victoria is $4425, while the inner city and inner eastern suburbs pay $3995," she said.

Ms Bath said the discrepancies in energy costs between eastern Victoria and the inner city were unjustifiable.

“Labor cannot keep punishing our households and businesses with exorbitant bills and an unreliable energy grid," she said.

“The Nationals are calling on Labor to deliver a detailed common sense plan to deliver a just transition and reliable and affordable power to all Victorians regardless of where you live.”

You can replace your car if it dies, but not your body, so let’s consider another condition that can escalate silently.

Think of dental check-ups as your regular screenings for cancer. Just because you feel fine doesn’t mean you can skip those important appointments. Cancer can develop silently and without noticeable symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. But early detection can make a world of difference in treatment outcomes.

Similarly, oral cancer can manifest without causing any noticeable discomfort at first. Your dentist is like a vigilant cancer detector, keeping an eye out for any suspicious signs or symptoms.

By catching oral health issues in their early stages during routine checkups, you can nip them in the bud and prevent them from progressing

In the same way, your teeth can have underlying issues that do not necessarily cause pain right away.

By the time a toothache hits, it might be a sign of a significant problem, like a cavity that has been festering for a while. Regular dental check-ups are like those routine oil changes and inspections for your car. They allow the dentist to catch and address small issues before they turn into major, painful, and costly dental emergencies.

Your mouth is like a car engine. Now, just because your car is not making strange noises or stalling does not mean you should skip regular maintenance, right?

You would not wait until your engine is smoking and sputtering before taking it to the mechanic. Why? Because by the time it’s making all that noise, the damage might already be severe, and the repair bill could be astronomical!

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

SPOOKY FILES ABC ME, Monday, 5pm

United forces:

Katherine Renee Kane, John Boyd, Missy Peregrym and Dylan McDermott star in a thrilling FBI crossover event.

There’s nothing to be scared about in this warm-hearted tween series from the creators of Hardball and Nowhere Boys: the first episode alone features a flying sandwich and an adorable fluffy mauve monster. This 10-part adventure has a retro flavour that will give a warm fuzzy feeling to parents and which kids will find refreshingly original. Set in a suburban town, we meet siblings Bert and Xena (Thomas Saddler and Alberta Brudan, both pictured), who are living in a newly blended family with their older step-sister Billie (Audrey Salinas). Xena and Bert discover a trouble-making “Spooky”, inspiring Billie to join their team – along with friend Derek (Lennox Lee) – to guide these Spookys back to their homes.

THE MISSION SBS, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Marc Fennell’s (pictured) penetrative-yet-humorous investigative style makes everything the talented journo turns his eye to worthy of watching. Fennell, who had us glued to the screen with The Kingdom and Framed, paints a fascinating picture in this gripping, sumptuously shot investigative three-parter, kicking off tonight. It’s a strange true story that is just begging to be examined in great detail; in outback Western Australia, 1986, 26 European masterpieces were savagely ripped from their frames inside a Spanish monastery. It’s a perplexing, under-theradar art heist for the ages in which Fennell expertly draws every potent little detail, from the tiny monastic Aussie town to London and New York.

FBI: INTERNATIONAL 10, Sunday, 8.30pm

SIGNIFICANT OTHER SBS, Wednesday October 25, 9.30pm

FBI franchise creator Dick Wolf has upped the ante in the crime genre by blurring the lines between his separate series’ worlds in spontaneous crossover episodes. Tonight, it’s a three-hour extravaganza as a global case encompasses his three traditionally distinct series: FBI: International, FBI and FBI: Most Wanted. FBI ’s John Boyd, who plays special agent Stuart Scola, appears in all three episodes, which kick off in scenic Rome. Describing the crossover as surreal, Boyd said: “It was definitely a first, getting to take a character that I’ve been building for five seasons and drop into shows that I have watched.” Special agent Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) is also on the case, showing off some Italian lingo.

It’s billed as a rom-com, but this new British series is more black than you’d expect. Starring Katherine Parkinson, who sparkled in the cult hit tech comedy The IT Crowd, and Youssef Kerkour (pictured with Parkinson), it’s a tale of two misfits who inexplicably form a connection in the midst of a heart attack and a suicide attempt. It’s a bold premise that wholeheartedly embraces trying to find the mirth in melancholy.

Set in Manchester, 40-somethings Anna and Sam are each staring at rock bottom, until their misfortunes intersect before an ambulance trip.

Somehow, Anna puts up with divorced Sam’s appalling behaviour, which is likely to make you want to scream “Run!” at your screen.

Community health ‘can help hospitals’ PROVEN models of community-led healthcare are helping keep Gippslanders out of the state’s stretched acute care sector, but more funding and recognition is needed for community health in Victoria, according to a new report from Community Health First.

The first position paper from Community Health First, which unites the voices of Latrobe Community Health Service (LCHS) and 23 other registered independent community health organisations in Victoria, notes community health receives just 0.5 per cent of the state’s entire health budget.

This is equivalent to an average spend of $22 per Victorian, compared to $109 per person on ambulance care and $3166 per person on hospital care.

However, estimates from the Victorian Healthcare Association show community health services have the potential to save the state government roughly $3.1 billion a year by reducing the number of avoidable emergency department (ED) presentations.

In Victoria, there were more than 550,000 potentially preventable hospital presentations in 2022.

There were upwards of 11,000 avoidable hospital presentations in Gippsland in 2018/19 alone.

LCHS acting chief executive Andrina Romano said provisions were in place to take stress off hospitals.

“Government wants to address the pressures on the acute sector, but community health services like LCHS are already providing the type of integrated, holistic care that keeps people out of hospital," she said.

“Heart disease, diabetes, dental conditions and asthma are among the most common conditions that lead to potentially preventable hospitalisations in Gippsland.

"The Gippsland High Risk Foot Clinic (GHRFC) a partnership between LCHS and Latrobe Regional Health - is a great example of the innovative community health services we can provide to alleviate pressure on hospitals.”

Since opening in November 2022, the GHRFC:  Is the only collaborative high-risk foot service for diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) in the region, and;  Has delivered 879 episodes of care to more than 220 local residents.

“The clinic’s healing rate for diabetes-related foot ulcers after 12 weeks was 34 per cent, equivalent to that of major tertiary centres in Melbourne,” said senior podiatrist, LCHS John Chen.

Mr Chen said the GHRFC also set up three outreach clinics at Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations between January and June

2023 to boost engagement from First Nations communities across Gippsland.

“Initial data revealed only two per cent of our patients identified as First Nations. But after six months of outreach, those identifying as First Nations rose from two to 11 per cent - suggesting higher levels of engagement by actively reaching out to these harder to reach communities with a provision of care in a culturally safe and familiar environment."

“Community health services are at the front line of our communities; we have a unique ability to rapidly respond to evolving healthcare issues,” Ms Romano said.

“The GHRFC shows how we can draw on partnerships with other health and social services to supplement gaps in the system. Yet the funding balance isn’t there - it just isn’t right that less than half of one per cent of the total Victorian health budget is spent on community health.”

LCHS joined Community Health First at the start of 2023 to help showcase - to state and federal decision makers - the critical role of community health in Victoria’s healthcare landscape.

Community Health First has four asks of government: 1. Increase core funding to registered independent community health services by at least 20 per cent; 2. Cement registered independent community health services as the “partner of choice” for primary care and community-based health initiatives; 3. Immediately prioritise fair and sustainable investment in community health infrastructure and workforce development, and; 4. Recognise registered community health services in the National Health Agreement, so state government funding for community health is matched by federal investment (as it is for hospital funding).

Survey shows importance of cancer screening GIPPSLAND has some of Australia’s highest rates of avoidable deaths due to cancer, including breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

These statistics were released in a cancer snapshot by Gippsland Primary Health Network and highlight the importance of people screening for cancer.

Avoidable cancer death rates (average per 100,000 people) in Gippsland are at 35.9 per cent, significantly higher than Victoria at 28.2 per cent and Australia at 28.8.

Latrobe City and Wellington Shire have rates

of 52.7 per cent and 51.6 per cent respectively.

In cancer screening, the results were mixed.

The snapshot shows in Gippsland:

 47.3 per cent of people aged 50-74 years participated in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (Victoria 43.9 per cent);  51.8 per cent of women aged 50-74 years screened for breast cancer (Victoria 45.9 per cent), and;  56.4 per cent of women 25-74 years screened for cervical cancer (Victoria 62.2 per cent).

National Bowel Cancer Screening Program data shows that participants who identified as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin, those who lived in very remote areas and those who lived in low socioeconomic areas, all had higher rates of positive screens. They also had lower rates of follow-up diagnostic assessment and a longer median time between a positive screen and assessment.

Gippsland PHN acting chief executive, Angela Jacob, said it was important to raise awareness of the importance of screening for cancer.

“We are working closely with general practitioners as we know they are central to increasing cancer screening participation rates,” Mrs Jacob said.

“Tragically, with one-in-two people being affected by cancer in their lifetimes, we will all be touched by disease.’

“Finding cancer at an early stage increases the chances of successful treatment and improved survival. I encourage everyone to talk about screening to their trusted GP or nurse.”

Life FM marks 20 years on air

IN the early hours of October 29, 2003, a new era began in radio and for the Christian community in Gippsland.

It was then a new community radio station, Life FM, first went to air on the 103.9 frequency.

Two decades later, 103.9 Life FM Gippsland is still going strong, broadcasting positive, uplifting music and messages of hope across the region.

Life FM also features locally-made programs such as Gippsland Perspective, which covers local news and events, Light Up Latrobe and Make Gippsland Great Again.

One person integral to getting Life FM on the air was Deb Bye, a former manager at ABC Gippsland who was chief executive of Gippsland Christian Broadcasters, the organisation behind Life FM, from 1999 until 2015.

Deb said she was motivated by a desire to give the Christian community a place in Gippsland radio which hadn't previously existed.

“In 1999, when I started doing deputations to tell people we wanted to start a radio station, I met a lady in South Gippsland, who said, "I've been praying for Christian radio in Gippsland for 20 years". For me, that was like a rubber stamp, I was on the right track,” Deb said.

Until Life FM was able to afford a link between the studio in Sale and the transmitter on Mt Tassie, a loop of content, downloaded on to a hard drive and connected to the transmitter was broadcast.

"We'd drive up to Mt Tassie once a month or more, and we'd switch over the hard drives. It was full-on,” Deb said.

“If we went off air, we'd have to drive back up and press a button to turn it back on again."

"The night we (first) went on air was amazing, we started getting calls at two in the morning.

"People started calling us from W Tree and

Milestone: Life FM Gippsland president Yvonne Coffey and station manager David Braithwaite. The station is celebrating its 20th anniversary next month.

Photograph supplied Gelantipy (in East Gippsland) and places like that."

Former production team leader and station manager Randell Green said Life FM had made a positive impact in the lives of people in Gippsland over the past two decades.

"I remember one pastor in Traralgon said he had a young guy come to his church because he was driving home from work one day, and just happened to be listening to Life FM," he said.

"You often heard testimonies like that. Even if they didn't become Christians, they might have heard something that was uplifting and encouraging for them."

Current station manager David Braithwaite acknowledged the efforts of people like Deb and Randell as well as the many volunteers who helped make Life FM what it had become.

"Without their vision and efforts, we may not have had a Christian radio station in Gippsland, created for Gippsland," he said.

"Twenty years on air is a milestone we're proud to have reached. It's a big achievement, but we wouldn't have been able to do it without the support of listeners - through memberships and donations - as well as local churches, businesses and community organisations.

"To all who have helped us over the years, a massive thank you and we look forward to that support continuing."

David said there was still a place for Life FM in the Gippsland media landscape.

"Now more than ever, there is a need for uplifting and family-friendly music and messages that encourage and inspire," he said.

"Times have been tough for most in recent years, and people need a sense of hope. At Life FM, we aim to play a part in providing that.

"We are part of the Gippsland community, and we also aim to tell Gippsland stories.

"It is this mix of music, messages and stories that makes Life FM unique in Gippsland. There is something for everyone on Life FM." To mark the milestone, Life FM will host a range of events, including a trivia night on Saturday, November 4, shopping centre displays and, early next year, a celebration night.

Life FM is also holding its 20th Birthday Appeal.

Donations, which can be made via the Life FM website, lifefm.com.au, help keep Life FM on the air.

Donations $2 and over are tax-deductible.

People can also support Life FM by becoming a member for just $10 a year or becoming a sponsor, both of which can be done by visiting the Life FM website.

Water Week keeping communities united THIS week is National Water Week.

Gippsland Water is encouraging everyone to take some time to think about the importance of water within in their communities.

Running from October 16 to 22, this year’s theme 'United by Water' celebrates water’s vital role in connecting communities.

Gippsland Water Managing Director Sarah Cumming said Gippsland was renowned for its water resources.

“Water is the lifeblood of our community, economy, health and wellbeing,” Ms Cumming said.

“We are so fortunate to have abundant high quality water right here in our region to enjoy, which is something we should never take for granted.”

As part of National Water Week activities, Gippsland Water has announced the winners of its annual colouring competition.

Each year early learning and primary school students across the region are invited to submit a themed artwork.

This year, students were asked to draw or paint a poster that shows how everyone is "United by Water".

Students were eligible to win a prize and each school/centre that had a student enter was included in a random draw to win $500 for a sustainability project or STEM resources.

Mya from Oak Street Kindergarten in Drouin was awarded first place, winning a $100 voucher from a local business and a Gippsland Water prize pack.

Her colourful entry titled ‘Everyone needs water’ captured the theme perfectly.

Top job: Morwell Central Primary School student Oscar won the Grade 3-4 section of Gippsland Water’s annual colouring competition.

Photographs supplied Hazelwood North Primary School received $500 for a project or resources.

Other prize winners were: Foundation - Marnie, Warragul North Primary School; Year 1-2 - Rose, Mirboo North Primary School; Year 3-4 - Oscar, Morwell Central Primary School, and; Year 5-6 - Sapphire, Warragul North Primary School.

Local entrants were also included in a state wide competition and two Gippsland students were recognised for their work.

Rose won third place in the Year 1-2 category and

The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 18 October, 2023 — Page 45

Voice referendum over and done as WITH the results of the Referendum now in, let’s use some deductive logic to understand how we got here.

There had previously been 44 referendums in Australia. Only eight have passed.

They had bi-partisan support. This one did not.

The Aboriginal population was divided on the matter, raising the question as to why white people once again thought they knew what was best for another group of people - a voice was championed, yet their actual voice was ignored.

The details were murky or non-existent. The proposal suggested further division by race. It was unclear how a tokenistic name dropping in our founding document would assist.

It was clear many in the ‘Yes’ campaign haven’t read the Constitution, let alone understood it - it was apparent that the only ones who would likely benefit would be the lawyers.

Considerable money is spent annually on Aboriginal affairs to little avail in addressing the issues.

Many myths have been busted regarding the plight of Aboriginal people and are now openly in the public sphere - the Bruce Pascoe debacle, deaths in custody, and ‘Invasion Day’, etc. Many more are still propagated, yet any objective Google will outline the falsehoods.

The ‘Yes’ campaigners were emotional and long-winded. Ask any police officer or psychologist and they will tell you the more someone tries to convince you of a certain thing, the less they believe it themselves.

There was a strong use of celebrity endorsement.

Yet we have seen how that has failed over the last decade or so in the West, the Hillary Clinton failure in the US a notable one. In the Australian vernacular, none of it passed the pub test.

Given all of that, we can take things a little further.

I recall the Keating-Howard debates regarding the proposed flag change. John Hewson (early 1990s Liberal leader) accused Keating of raising a divisive issue to distract the public from a floundering economy in 1992.

I recall an alternative flag proposal during Howard’s time. It was more than a decade later before I was aware enough to realise that it was always designed to fail - a fool’s errand.

About three weeks ago that memory recurred for me.

Given all that I have listed above, either Labor and the bureaucrats were incredibly stupid to propose a referendum change in this way, or maybe, just maybe, they never wanted it to succeed in the first place.

If it was the latter, and if this whole referendum debacle was just ‘much ado about nothing’, what in the world have they been trying to distract us from?

And any consideration around that question becomes very sobering.

Anthony Wasiukiewicz Yallourn North

Transparency questioned

I AM writing on behalf of myself and the 371 people who signed my petition to express my great disappointment in the most recent Latrobe City Council (LCC) meeting (on October 2).

Mr Kelvin Granger made some very important points in regards to IBAC’S report into local government corruption and the recommendations following this investigation. His request to defer the motion (on bringing in a new set of rules) and revise whether governance rules were inline with these recommendations was ignored. It is clear they aren’t as Mr Granger pointed out that LCC pre-council briefings to discuss agenda items go against these recommendations.

Cr Tracie Lund and Cr Darren Howe - you made the assertion that you listened to the public. I argue that you listened to what was convenient for council to act upon while still being able to pass the motion largely unchanged from the original proposal. The changes you adopted were not significant changes.

Definitions were added, rules were expanded to clarify points but the substance of them remained the same. You weren’t listening to the public, you were showing empty gestures so that you could say that you were listening.

Cr Dan Clancy, you asked the right question of your chief executive in regards to whether rule 22.2.4 and 22.2.3 were benchmarked across the state and this gave me hope that council were listening.

I wonder though why you weren’t concerned with his answer. The chief executive made it clear to everyone in that meeting that it wasn’t benchmarked across the state. He said himself, “I haven’t looked at all of them though. Some might have differing words, certainly our one has had that one proposed. So there was benchmarking but probably not to the extent to look at exactly all of the words."

This rule does not meet benchmark against 76 other councils in Victoria of which there are 78 in total.

It is concerning that despite this being admitted to by your chief executive - so many of you were willing to pass this motion.

You are all politicians and while your chief executive has said that some "words are different" you should all know that words really do matter.

I would like to re-emphasise that 76 other councils in Victoria do not allow the chief executive to reject notices of motion based on the terms ‘offensive’ or ‘discriminatory'.

Just to put this into perspective, I’ve come to understand that council no longer recite the Lord’s

Prayer before council meetings are set to commence.

Given these new rules, if this were to be a notice of motion and handed to the chief executive to review before a council meeting, it would be up to the chief executive on their own to reject this as potentially offensive or discriminatory without any right for fellow council to debate this publicly in a meeting.

Finally, the reason that many of you passed this rule was on the basis that “we should be putting something in place and trialing it."

I ask, why does rule 22.2 need to be put in place?

Why does this expansion in authority need to be adopted? Specifically, why do we need to allow our chief executive to judge whether a public concern is ‘offensive’ or ‘discriminatory’?

Your rules already had many relevant reasons in place that allowed the chief executive to reject notices of motions, so why is this expansion of power needed?

The rule previously met Victorian benchmark before these terms were added. It was made very clear in the meeting that very little benchmarking was done with this rule and it was made known that these rules were instead designed around what ‘councillors want’ so why do many of you want this in place?

As Cr Dale Harriman pointed out, to have a response of two people for public feedback is the standard, to have a response of 23 is exceptional let alone the 371 who have now supported my petition.

Why does council want to trump this extraordinary response in opposition to these rules?

I understand that one of these rules needed to be changed to be in line with the state government’s Act. However, to move forward on all of these rules despite these submissions shows us that council didn’t listen or hear what the public was saying.

As it conflicted with their wants, they moved the motion regardless.

I appreciate Cr Harriman, Cr Sharon Gibson and Cr Melissa Ferguson for taking their role as elected councillors of the people seriously and working on behalf of those who elected them and listening to them when they have concerns.

We all appreciate your attempt to defer this motion.

Callous shooters

YOUR correspondent Melina Bath (LVE Letters, All about habitat, 04/10/23) insists recreational duck shooters are natural conservators of the environment.

But in truth, they are selfish and do that for their own vested interests of shooting.

They have no understanding of the massive need for conserving habitats and ecosystems for the sake of the ducks, especially as links in the ecosystem - which we need to conserve as part of solving the climate crisis.

Quite a few of the shooters are also callous.

By the way, I know and love Gippsland where some of my family live today.

huge majority vote ‘No’ in Gippsland

Aboriginals that came into my life.

Their struggles were highly apparent in those days and I admit there was a lot to be done, but it should not have rested on our shoulders alone.

First Nation had to do their share to improve their lifestyle. The taxpayer has paid dearly over the years to gain this goal and it has been mishandled by land councils.

We all have a voice and it’s done through the Parliament.

First Nations have 11 representatives but there must be more. The changing of the Constitution was not needed.

But as I said, the die has been cast and we must learn to live with it.

and those who continue to assist with clean-up efforts, your efforts are sincerely appreciated and valued.

Of course, as the clean-up efforts continue, there is no doubt that more support will be needed over coming months.

Those wanting to assist financially can do so to one of many charities, but most particularly the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (gerf.org.au).

On behalf of all those affected and to everyone who has played their part, I say very sincerely, thank you for your efforts.

Kevin Tolhurst's last words of wisdom

THE death of forest scientist and Associate Professor Kevin Tolhurst AM on October 5, 2023 is with much regret.

Kevin was an expert in wildfire behaviour, prescribed burning techniques and guidelines, ecological management of landscapes, fire risk management, and ecological impacts of fire.

Victorian bushfire policy and practise is hopelessly misguided and appallingly bad, and based on shonky science steeped in ideology. Against misguided political, ideological and bureaucratic impediments, Kevin continued to deliver real science and practical management options.

His last message to a gathering at Mallacoota on October 5 was, that if appropriate fuel reduction had been applied prior to the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfire, Mallacoota would not have burned.

At a 2022 ‘International Association of Wildland Fire’ Conference, Keven offered more words of wisdom: “Bushfire policy needs to be driven by rigorous science underpinning (the) politics.”

However, “politics has dominated the fire world for several decades and is based on perceptions and beliefs."

“The political approach has major problems with long-term vision and (with) solutions to long-term issues. Unlike politics, the approach of science was based on evidence, known assumptions, with the process repeatable and objective. The science approach is not based on thoughts and opinions, which does dominate some science."

“Some peer-reviewed papers in scientific literature did not cut the mustard and were very poor from a scientific point of view."

“Impediments to a successful bushfire management policy included social and political focus on response and recovery, (and) not (enough focus on) prevention, preparedness and fire regime management. It‘s like trying to improve public health (just) by buying more ambulances.”

“It is not more research that is needed, but greater efforts to use the knowledge we have.”

Kevin’s passing is a huge loss to rational bushfire research and practical fire mitigation policy. Kevin tried to expose “the sneaky buggers” and their flawed Victorian bushfire policy. The tin eared government and bureaucrats failed to listen and instead put their spin doctors to work. With time the ‘Safer Together’ bushfire policy will morph into ‘Scorched Together’.

The risk of catastrophic bushfire in Victoria is eminent with many homes and lives likely to be lost. There will be a proper royal commission and enough rational people around to bring the

Lest We Forget

Ongoing: Debate continues surrounding just how legitimate certain aspects of Latrobe City Council meetings have been recently.

File photograph government negligence to account, making use of Kevin’s research and his words of wisdom.

David Packham OAM and John Cameron Traralgon

As it is

NICE work gentlemen and lady. So refreshing to read the articles you all produced (Opinion LV Express 4/10/23 and the 11/10).

To Messrs John Cameron, Brian Mawhinney, Jim Charalambous, Thomas Quinn, Ian Murphy and Ms Leonie Rankin, you all covered the obvious so very well.

It should be of no surprise to any decent, hard working person living in Victoria just how far this state has imploded with the ridiculous "decisions" and diatribe that has been spread around like a wildfire of fertiliser.

Who was it that famously stated, and I quote, "I take full responsibility for all the decisions that are made" unquote.

But sadly there will be some who will bow at the altar to the "former chosen one" and say what a "wonderful" job he has done.

The huge, obscene amounts of taxpayers money that has been squandered on ridiculous, meaningless, "chores and worthless projects."

My children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be paying for this, with a noose around their necks forever.

I certainly won't be around to see any of this BS come to fruition. As you so eloquently put it, Brian Mahwinney, "Lets not forgive or forget all those Victorians who voted for Daniel Andrews over the years."

Spot on my friend, spot on!

I personally think it's an exaggeration to even call them "voters." Real fair dinkum voters know what, why and who should get their vote. Sadly, the silly buggers who did vote for him ... again, were completely blindsided and hoodwinked into a falsehood of massive proportions. This is what is known as "spin" and verbal diahorrea. There lies the problem, the deceit, and dishonourable conduct

of an individual, who garnered favours from the rich and famous, to feather his own nest ... and my goodness hasn't he built himself a beautiful golden nest - $300k a year ... for life ... for telling lies and never once owning up or admitting to his mistakes and secret underhanded, crooked dealings.

This is quite simply the truth and if you don't believe it, you're obviously walking the highway of life with your head up somewhere where the sun doesn't shine and away with the fairies.

Wow! What a "wonderful" legacy he has left behind. His family must be so "proud" of him.

Anyway, sadly the damage has been done, and we as Victorians live in hope of a much better and fairer premiership, but so far it's been the same s*** different day.

Roy Foenander Traralgon

A community-wide appreciation

I WRITE to thank all in our community and beyond who answered the call to provide assistance during the recent bushfire and flood emergencies.

Thank you to the CFA volunteers who travelled from far and wide to work alongside our professional emergency services staff to minimise the effects of these bushfires on our community.

Thank you also to the SES volunteers who answered the numerous call outs for help during the strong winds and flooding, and thank you to everyone in our community who did and continues to do what they can to offer help and support.

It was heartwarming to see the numerous offers from people on social media offering to open their homes or offering food and other services for those in need.

While this doesn’t surprise me because I know the people of Gippsland South have generous hearts, it is important that everyone’s contribution is recognised.

From those who fought directly on the fire front to those assisting with shelter, meals and transport

THERE must be thousands of war monuments dotted about the country - you approach a small country town in a twirl of dust and there he is - the White Marble Digger, behind a little fence, a bugler sounding The Last Post; an infantryman lunging with a bayonet; or simply standing to attention with his Lee-Enfield .303 rifle as is the case out front of Morwell's RSL Club, symbolising at the same time Australia's pride and Australia's sorrow.

I look up at his stony expressionless gaze and cannot help but feel a pang of nostalgia for a time, perhaps gone forever, when a young soldier went off to war secure in his role as representative of a close-knit community that knew him intimately.

Ah, who will ever write the story of those countless last embraces, kisses, final goodbyes destined to occur in those little country towns, where, before leaving for the front, soldiers for the last time met their sweethearts, fiances, wives and children, their mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters?

More than 60,000 Australian soldiers gave their lives for their country in World War 1 and more than 27,000 in World War 2.

Lest We Forget.

THE local wrestling scene may go largely unnoticed to the wider population, but Traralgon’s Owen Steadman has found a way into the sport - and now never wants to leave it.

As a 20-year-old, Steadman (pictured) wrestles for Gippsland Pro Wrestling, but recently, he was part of another event, the first outside of his norm.

Steadman’s road to where he is now is one like no other, beginning way back at the age of seven, and since then, he has never taken his eyes off the prize.

“I was seven years old, living in WA, and my mum brought home two wrestling figurines from an op shop,” Steadman said.

And that was it; from that moment on, he was hooked.

From then on out, it was all about acting on that interest, and he wasted no time in doing so.

From the age of eight, Steadman started boxing, which has since led him to where he is today.

“I was at a boxing gym for about seven years, did Taekwondo training for about five years, all of that was because I wanted to do wrestling, but my trainer - I begged to him in person - but you have to be 16 (years old) or over,” Steadman said.

“From about age 14, I’d go to the shows and pester him.”

When he finally turned 16, Steadman joined the wrestling ranks, and just recently, his career is beginning to take the next steps towards his dream.

On July 29, Steadman paired up with fellow Gippsland wrestler Liam Lush, in a tag-team match against the Brisbane St Bullies.

What made this event different from the rest?

It was in Tasmania - Steadman’s first event outside the Gippsland Pro Wrestling scene.

“That was my first wrestling event outside of the Gippsland Pro Wrestling, so I’d known the promoter because he’d come and wrestle for us on one of our shows,” he said.

“Went down there. It was sort of a trial for me to see if I was good enough.

“Me and the bloke I train with were

in a tag match against their top tag team.

“I got concussed in that match. My nose was just pissing out blood. I got elbowed in the nose real good. The crowd loved it. We had a physical, fun match - just four young guys.”

Evidently a cherished experience for Steadman, his night only got better when he was told he could return anytime he liked after the victory.

“The promoter afterwards asked how I found it, and I said, “Pretty great”. Then he said, “You’re here anytime you want to be, we’ll book you”.

It was a fairly speedy turnaround for Steadman, with his next event just a week later, back at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium (GRISS).

The Battle at the GRISS was described by Steadman as “The biggest match of my life”, as he faced somewhat of a hero of his - Lochy Hendricks.

“This (event) that’s just gone by, I was put up against someone who I’d been watching wrestle since I was about 11-years-old,” he said.

“We went out there, had what I thought was an awesome match, the crowd was rabid, just amazing.

“For someone you’ve been watching since you were 11, you share the ring with them and just have a good match.

It’s awesome.”

Once again Steadman was victorious, claiming a win against a childhood hero of his.

And he will now prepare to do it all again when he takes to the ring this weekend, once again at the GRISS. Currently a manager at Cheap as Chips in Traralgon, Steadman hopes to take his wrestling talent overseas to Japan, a real dream of his.

“My dream is to wrestle in Japan, that’s a goal I’ve had since I was 13,” he said, “I like the sport side of it, so I think Japan is where I’ll end up if I continue to pursue it this hard.”

Coming up this weekend is Gippsland Pro Wrestling’s In Your GRISS event, set to go ahead on Saturday, October 21.

Gippsland’s senior success at the Masters NETBALL

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

GIPPSLAND'S master netballers have struck gold.

Some of Gippsland's most experienced veterans flew up to Adelaide last week to compete in the 2023 Australian Masters Games.

The Moe and District Netball Association's senior teams took part in the over-65-year-old traditional netball event and the over-60-year-old walking netball event.

The experienced crew took out the entire competition across six days, winning the 65-and-over division, with a Gold medal to show for it. The team placed third in the over-60 walking division, really showcasing the talent pool that has always come from the Gippsland region.

More local talent was on display at the Australian Masters Games as Regional Netball Manager at Netball Victoria, Judi Buhagiar and two other Gippsland locals in Linda Welsh and Faye Surace competed for Frankston's Masters team in the over 60's traditional netball competition.

The three Gippsland stars went undefeated in nine, 40 minute games across six days to win the event. With two of the women gearing up to umpire as well, the Games were a fun, competitive yet gruelling experience on the body for the senior netballers.

Created by the Confederation of Australian Sport in 1987, the Australian Masters Games is a week-long festival of sport that brings together weekend warriors from around Australia, and the world, to enjoy an extensive sport and social program in an exciting holiday destination.

The Games is one of Australia’s largest premier multi-sport festivals with an extensive sport program offering more than 50 different sports.

The 19th Edition of the Australian Masters Games was held in Adelaide from October 7 to 14.

Another great Harriers run

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

BY GARY FOX

THE October 5 Harriers Thursday night run was held at the Joe Carmody Athletics Track in Newborough.

The Harriers had a great turnout with a total of 54 runners in cold and wet conditions. Many new members have not run on a track before, and were keen to take the opportunity to have a go and get a fast time. Many personal best times were achieved for the 5km run.

Great running by Peter Cutler saw him first home in an impressive time of 17.07, closely followed by Dempsey Podmore in 17.18 and Ian Cornthwaite in 18.55.

Excellent running by Molly Irvine saw her first

lady home with 21.24 followed by Liz Kenney (22.20) and Kate Mayer (23.39).

Cutler went on to run 10kms in 34.44 minutes which is a great effort.

Recently, the club reached the 172 members mark. Thanks to the work of many people, the club has grown to be genuinely inclusive and welcoming.

From Glengarry to the Gold Coast

ATHLETICS

By TOM HAYES

LEARNING from the best is what Glengarry's Kaydence Fleming was able to do when she took on Coles Little Athletics National High-Performance Camp at the Gold Coast Performance Centre.

Fourteen-year-old Fleming qualified her way to the camp, storming through regional and state divisions in February and March, landing herself a gig at a national meet in April.

Fleming competed in the long jump, 400-metre sprint, 200m and 200m hurdles during the meets.

She only managed to qualify for the 200m hurdles at the national meet, which gave her the ticket to go to the athletics camp.

Fleming spent four days in Queensland with athletics professionals and Olympians, who not

only shared experiences but also trained the up and coming stars.

"It was really cool to be around all of the Olympians and get some tips from them, it was just a really cool environment to be around," Fleming said.

"It was lots of fun to hear their experiences and learn a bit off them.

"They trained us for two hours a day, we got some one-on-one training with them."

While on the camp, the young athletes learnt about nutrition, education, recovery and importantly mental health all from a sporting perspective.

Fleming competes out of the Moe Little Athletics Centre and was one of around 20 children in Victoria, and one in over 70 children in Australia that got the chance to experience the camp.

She started little athletics at the age of five,

competing in the Under 6 division, now Fleming has prospered with age, competing in the Under 15 division.

During the COVID pandemic, Fleming and her older sister Elly continued to train and get better, not letting that time go to waste.

"My sister, she's three years older than me, I do all of my training with her, all my competitions with her, she's pretty motivated to do all of that stuff so she helped me through that," she said.

Fleming has high aspirations as to where her athletics journey can take her, hoping to continue to develop her craft as time goes on.

"My favourite event is 400m (sprint), so I would love to go to further competitions doing that, maybe even represent Australia one day," she said.

The Little Athletics season began at the weekend with clubs opening their gates once again.

SCOREBOARD ATHLETICS Round 2 of Gippsland Athletics Club track and field season was held Tuesday 10th October 2023.

Moe Meteors homing in on top spot

BASKETBALL CBL

BY TOM HAYES

A BUSY weekend in the Country Basketball League saw a variation of results throughout the Gippsland Men’s and Women’s divisions.

Several teams featured twice on the weekend, testing their resilience early on into the season.

TRARALGON and Morwell went head-to-head to get Round 2 started in the Gippsland Men’s division, and it was one-way traffic for the T-Birds.

The T-Birds never waivered, holding control of the match for the entire game, winning every quarter to extend their lead at every break.

Their five-point first quarter lead bellied out to 15 points as early as halftime, the game already looking beyond the Magic.

It was much of the same in the second half, as Traralgon added seven points to their lead in the third term, before completing the 29-point win in the final quarter, 92-63.

Traralgon’s Koby Tibballs and Zac Bezzina starred for the T-Birds with 22 and 21 points respectively.

Bradley Watson and Ben Barlow also assisted in attack with double-digit point hauls.

Tyler Buurman accumulated 12 points, eight of which were from the free throw line, while Mitch Bruerton scored nine points for Morwell.

DESPITE going down early, Moe made light work of Warragul, getting over the line by 21 points.

Warragul took a slender lead at the first break, but from then on it was a Meteor shower.

Moe outscored the Warriors by six points, 13 points and four points in each of the last three quarters, powering home for the 21-point win, 97-76.

Austin Shelley was unstoppable, scoring 41 of Moe’s 97 points, making 13 field goals, four of which were from beyond the arc.

TO round out the Saturday games, Wonthaggi Coasters started their season off with a bang, defeating Korumburra Wildcats, 83-61.

Maffra handed down a some similar treatment

to Sale, also getting over the line by 29 points.

Except in this encounter, Sale actually led at the end of the first quarter.

The Sonics took a two-point advantage into the second quarter, but that was diminished almost instantaneously, as Maffra clapped back in a 12-point turnaround.

In just a short space of time, the Eagles then led by 10 points at the halftime break, and they weren’t letting go of their lead.

They added another seven points to their margin in the third quarter, before piling on 25 points to 13 in the final term to win by 29 points, 94-65.

FIVE more games took place on the Sunday, beginning with Moe taking care of Traralgon.

The T-Birds started hot, with 29 first-quarter points, but seemingly ran out of steam from there.

Traralgon held a four-point lead at the half, but Moe responded with 30 points in the third quarter, flipping the switch to gain a nine-point lead.

Moe outscored the T-Birds by a further three points in the last term to win by 12, 101-89.

Shelley backed up his 41-point game with another 33 points, with Thomas Portbury, Rohan Demczuk and Stephen O’Brien in assistance.

Traralgon’s Barlow was admirable in defeat with 26 points.

SALE scraped over the line against Lakes Entrance, primarily due to their massive first half.

The Sonics led by as much as 14 points at the end of the second term, putting them in pole position to take the win.

But Lakes Entrance battled, dragging nine of the points back in the third term to leave just five points separating the two.

Yet Sale took control to get over the line by six points, winning 67-61.

KORUMBURRA got the better of Morwell, edging the Magic out by six points, 72-66.

Despite the loss, four of the Magic’s men put up decent scores; Ashton McAllen with 16 points, Jesse Bowe scored 14, while Jordan Canovan and Hayden Weir had 10 each.

Warragul defeated their Warrior counterparts, Pakenham, 94-82, while Wonthaggi continued their perfect start to the season in a monster 105-59 win

over Southern Peninsula, sending them to the top of the ladder already.

THERE were plenty of victories too for local teams playing in the Gippsland Women’s division, Traralgon skimmed past Morwell with ease, setting the tone with a 27 to 11 first quarter, which was then backed up by a dominant second quarter which saw the margin sail to 21 points.

The Magic clawed back, only managing to get back to 17 points at the end of third, before the T-Birds piled on 22 points to six to set the margin at 33 points in the 78-45 win.

Samantha Labros was dominant with 21 points for the T-Birds, while Morwell’s Abby Noblett and Makaela Zeldenryk were noted in the defeat.

MOE handed Warragul a lesson to the tune of 52 points, winning 94 to 42.

Warragul could only manage as much as 11 points in a quarter, scoring 22 points in the first half, and 20 in the second.

Five of Moe’s girls scored double-digit amounts; Tahni Hodgens (22 points), Michelle Clarke (16), Danielle Davies (16), Brooke Hunter (12) and Piper Albert (10).

The Meteors had enough of a score during the second quarter to defeat Warragul, quite some feat.

MAFFRA edged out Sale in a close one.

The Eagles managed to win three of the four quarters, but the Sonics kept things in close quarters.

Maffra’s four-point quarter time lead was extended to seven at halftime, but somehow Sale remained just within reach.

They dragged four points back in the third quarter to trail by three with a quarter to play, but the resilience of Maffra was too much as they closed out a four-point win, 74-70.

TO round out the Saturday fixtures, Korumburra defeat Wonthaggi.

In a see-sawing affair, either team won a quarter each.

MOE was unable to capitalise from their 52-point win the day earlier, going down by nine points to Traralgon. The Meteors came out firing with two 20-point quarters to set the tone, leading by as much as 10 points at halftime.

But a dominant second half from Traralgon was a shock, drawing the lead back to just three with a quarter to play.

The T-Birds were in so much control that they held Moe to just nine points in the final quarter, while scoring 21 of their own to win by nine points, 74-65.

Labros was once again at her best for Traralgon, scoring 22 points, getting the T-Birds over the line with the help of Sienna Privitera and Indiana de Dios.

SALE replied to their Saturday loss with a win on Sunday over Lakes Entrance.

The close encounter was ultimately decided in the first and final quarters, where Sale did most of their damage.

The Sonics led by four at quarter time, before the going got tough and Lakes Entrance began to fire up.

As much as the Pelicans came at Sale, they held firm and kept control of the game.

Lakes Entrance dragged the margin back in the second term to three points, but it was pushed back out to four points the following quarter.

In a low scoring final term, Sale put on a further three points to walk away as seven-point winners, 56-49.

Chloe Rees was exceptional for the Sonics scoring 22 points.

KORUMBURRA was far too good for Morwell, dismissing them to the tune of 49 points.

Morwell had no real grip on the game, as Korumburra led and stretched their margin during every quarter.

From 20 points to 23 at the half, most of the damage was yet to come, with 26 more points added to the margin in the second half, the Wildcats completed the job, 90-41.

PAKENHAM gave Warragul a 37-point hiding, in a frantic final quarter hammering.

Pakenham led by 16 at the end of the third term, but piled on 25 points to four in the final term to embarrass their Warrior counterparts.

Wonthaggi doubled Southern Peninsula’s score, winning 74-37.

Moe United celebrate a very successful year SOCCER LVSL

BY LIAM DURKIN

MOE United Soccer Club gathered on Saturday night to formally toast the season that was 2023.

Presentation night was held at Moe Racing Club, as acknowledgements were made to players, members, supporters and their families.

The Red Devils had an overall successful season in the Latrobe Valley Soccer League, finishing the senior men’s championship in third position in what was one of the tightest races to the league title in history.

Moe ended the campaign on 39 points, just three adrift from league winners Fortuna.

The boys from Olympic Park still took home some silverware this season, winning the Battle of Britain Cup for the second consecutive year.

The cup, the oldest soccer trophy on offer in the state, is contested after each regular season in the LVSL. The Red Devil’s proved their worth among the competition’s top sides, defeating Fortuna during qualifying and smashing league runner-up Falcons 5-1 in the cup final.

Additionally, Moe United was also able to get a women’s team back up and running this season, meaning the club once again had a full complement of senior sides.

With the FIFA Women’s World Cup capturing the imagination of the nation a few months ago, the Red Devils had a special connection through former junior and now Matilda’s goalkeeper Teagan Micah.

Senior mens player Harley Robinson did a power of work coaching the women’s team, and was an obvious choice to MC the evening.

Robinson himself won a couple of awards, taking out the reserves leading goalkicker for the seventh year in a row, as well as runner-up best-and-fairest.

The reserves best-and-fairest was won by young gun Tully Anderson, while fellow young gun Miley Cooper won the senior women’s best-and-fairest at just 13-years-old.

Runners-up was shared between Jade and Kendall Armistead, with the latter winning the players player award, presented by club great Carol Faltum.

Arguably the most prestigious award, the players player award is voted on by teammates.

Fittingly, Moe United and LVSL legend Peter Albanese was on hand to present the senior mens

players player award named in his honour to teammates Chad Shelley and Luke Bathgate.

Tanner Pyle capped off a terrific season winning the senior best-and-fairest, while star striker Connor O’Hanlon took out the golden boot for both his club and the league with 26 goals.

Oscar Sheeney was runner-up best-and-fairest, in what was a remarkable story in itself as he only played 12 of 18 games due to injury.

It was a family affair in Second Division, with Reg Poxon and Zane Poxon claiming the best-and-fairest and runners-up respectively.

In a special moment, the club presented retiring great Harley Devlin with a framed guernsey, and to top it off, he and wife Rebecca were named best club people for 2023.

Outgoing senior mens coach Kevin O’Farrell was also presented a framed jumper after his five years in the top job.

His successor, Lee Dastey was in attendance, and will soon commence another stint at the helm of the Red Devil’s.

Author’s note: Happy to run photos from other club’s presentations. Just email them to ldurkin@ lvexpress.com.au

In the family: 2nd Division best-and-fairest Rex Poxon, coach Kristian Aquilina and Zane Poxon.

Recognition: Harley and Rebecca Devlin were named best club people for Moe United Soccer Club.

Round 3 to hopefully go ahead CRICKET CLV

BY LIAM DURKIN

THIRD time lucky hopefully.

Cricket was again washed out last Saturday in Cricket Latrobe Valley.

Persistent rain over Thursday and Friday again put pressure on clubs, so much so the majority of grounds were left unplayable.

Turf wickets again had no chance of getting up, while the league reported just three venues across its entire near-20 club organisation could have seen games go ahead.

As such, the decision was made to abandon play on Friday night.

The situation means the new Cricket Latrobe Valley league is now two rounds in and still yet to see matches played.

Milder weather on Saturday would have been welcome relief for clubs, and the forecast is looking more promising over the next few days, although there are still showers predicted by the end of the week.

Conditions had improved to the extent that Centrals Cricket Club was able to prepare a wicket for the senior Gippsland Cricket League match on Sunday.

Somewhat ironically, Cricket Latrobe Valley has played representative cricket before any club games.

Club matches will hopefully go ahead this weekend for Round 3.

As expected, games from the first two rounds have been entered as 'abandoned' on PlayHQ, meaning they more than likely won't be rescheduled due to how tight the fixture already is.

A rematch of last season's Traralgon District Cricket Association Grand Final highlights Round 3 in Premier A Grade, as Ex Students host Glengarry.

At the other end of the spectrum, a game carrying some intrigue will see Mirboo North make the trip to play CATS in Traralgon South.

The Tigers gained promotion to Premier A after winning the Latrobe Valley District Cricket League A Grade flag last season, while CATS narrowly avoided the opposite fate, surviving relegation in the final round of the regular season.

Granted teams can change markedly season-toseason, whether or not there is much of gap between a side coming up and a side that nearly went down means this match will be looked upon with interest.

In other games, Toongabbie and Raiders will meet for the first time since Raiders left the TDCA to join LVDCL in 2018. The Rams at home will surely provide good opposition, but equally, Raiders will be up to the challenge, having made the LVDCL Premier A Grand Final a little more than six months ago.

Morwell makes the trip to Churchill, in what could see some friendly fire as ex-teammates come up against each other. Brendan Mason and Ross Whelpdale both played in the first ever LVDCL Premier A flag for Churchill, before moving to Morwell and adding to the collection last season.

Moe has the bye, and will bring the whites out when it plays its first game in the new competition, as two-day matches start next weekend.

In A Grade action, Centrals and Imperials will also play against each other for the first time since the initial TDCA split, taking on each other at Apex Park.

Gormandale and Rovers meet at Stoddart Oval in what looms as an even-money contest.

The Tigers have added some new and returning players to the line-up this season, while the cricket public is still waiting for Rovers to have the breakthrough season predicted in the last couple of years of the TDCA. As fate would have it, Tyron Bramwell's first game in a new league could be against his old club if he suits up for Gormandale this weekend.

Willow Grove will honestly fancy their chances against Latrobe.

A one-dayer at home against a side decimated by departures in the offseason could give the Wolves enough reason to believe they can come away with a win.

Traralgon West has the bye, and suddenly has a plethora of options to fill in the time created by no cricket.

Gippsland Goannas go for the win

CRICKET VETERANS

BY GORDON COWLING

THE Gippsland Goannas Over 60 cricket team played the Iona Over 60s at Cameron Sporting Complex, Maffra at the weekend.

The morning started bright and clear as Iona won the toss and elected to bat.

Bairnsdale's Bernie Symons and Toongabbie's Peter Anton bowled first, with Symons dismissing both openers to have Iona 2/30 after 10 overs.

Chris DeVent and Neil Meredith bowled the next 10 overs, taking three wickets to have Iona reeling at 5/50 at the drinks break.

Rob Taylor and Murray Moore then took the ball, with Taylor taking 1/17 from three overs.

Derek Morris, Ray Floyd, Mark Brown and Ian Gibson bowled seven overs between them for 18 runs, and then the two opening bowlers came back on as retired batsmen returned to the crease.

Iona's innings concluded after their 40 overs at 7/117.

After the lunch break, the Goannas’ innings was started by Ken Bailey and Floyd.

They had put on 15 by the fifth over before losing their wickets.

Taylor and Jim Armstrong took over, and both retired for 20 and 10 respectively after their 30 balls.

Rino Metlikovec, Brown and Morris all made brief appearances as the Goannas struggled to 5/61 at the 20-over drinks break.

Moore and Meredith rescued the situation, both retiring for 13 and 16. Symons had a quick hit and Anton made 16 not out to see the Goannas pass the Iona total in the 35th over, six wickets down.

The Over 60s play away this Sunday against Pakenham District, while the Over 70s were scheduled to play Morwell on Tuesday against Yarra Valley/Ringwood.

The Goannas Over 50 team will play their next game on October 29 against the South East Veterans at Caulfield. The Over 50s were due to play the Sunbury/Macedon Ranges at Bundalaguah last Sunday, but unfortunately the opposition could not field a team. The match will be rescheduled for later in the season.

CLV starts GCL series off with a big bang CRICKET GCL

BY LIAM DURKIN

REPRESENTATIVE cricket commenced last Sunday.

The Gippsland Cricket League got its first look at the new Cricket Latrobe Valley, taking to the GCL field for the first time.

Cricket Latrobe Valley started their inaugural senior men's campaign with victory, defeating Leongatha District with relative ease.

In theory, given Cricket Latrobe Valley has been created by merging two former associations into one (Latrobe Valley District Cricket League and Traralgon District Cricket Association), and the fact TDCA won the GCL senior premiership last season, Cricket Latrobe Valley should be set for a strong campaign.

Not to mention Cricket Latrobe Valley is able to draw from close to 20 clubs, compared to other associations in Gippsland who have nowhere near that luxury.

In the Round 1 clash, Leongatha elected to bowl first upon winning the toss at Apex Park, Traralgon.

Honours were relatively even early, as the home side got the score to 50 for the loss of two wickets.

Leongatha gained momentum during the middle stages, and had Latrobe Valley 5/84. However, some good work from Ewan Williams and Blair Clymo took the score into the 130's, before Clymo batted with the lower order to move the total along a little further.

Williams made 24 and Clymo an innings high 47 in a total of 175.

Leongatha's Jack Ginnane showed he certainly wasn't still in party-mode from Leongatha's Gippsland League football premiership, taking 4/28 off eight overs.

Jarrod Hoy also chipped in with two wickets, while Joel Brann and Ethan Lamers were very economical, going for less than three in their 10 and seven over stints respectively.

Williams took confidence from his batting and proceeded to take the first two wickets of the Leongatha innings, reducing the visitor's to 2/18.

A rescue mission from Koby Brann and Ginnane saw Leongatha reach 3/77, but the dismissal of Brann triggered a middle order collapse from which Leongatha never recovered.

Matt Dyke whipped the bails off to see Brann stumped for 29, and when Ginnane was bowled

by Tye Hourigan for the same amount, it was the second in a run of four successive wickets for the medium pacer.

Hourigan ended with figures of 4/17 off eight overs, his second decent haul in recent GCL matches, to go with the five-fa he collected against Warragul last season.

Matt Barry took the winning wicket, bowling Tim Wightman to see Leongatha all out for 101.

An all round bowling effort saw no Latrobe Valley bowler go for more than two runs per over. Williams bowled exceptionally well with the new ball, taking 2/9 off four overs.

TRADITIONAL powerhouse Sale-Maffra started their season on a positive note.

The Sharks defeated Bairnsdale in a relatively competitive game out in the Briagolong bush.

The home side, certainly not short on experience, decided to have a hit after winning the toss.

Things got off to a horrific start as Zac Hurley lasted all but one ball, but big hitter Anthony Scott and Steve Spoljaric took control soon after.

The SMCA were certainly glad to have Scott in the side, now eligible to play as his home club Yarram District moved from being affiliated with Latrobe Valley to Sale-Maffra in the offseason.

The opener clubbed 48 from 41 balls, sending three of those balls over the rope.

Spoljaric was more circumspect, scoring 28 off 65.

Unfortunately, the day didn't belong to anyone from Collegians Cricket Club, as Charlie Morrison joined Hurley back in the sheds with a globe next to his name and a combined total of three balls faced between the pair.

Bairnsdale was able to get back in the game thanks to the work of Adam O'Brien, who took four of the first five wickets to fall. Sale-Maffra slumped to 5/101, but the lower order was able to bat with skipper Jack Tatterson to stretch out a total of 165.

Tatterson scored 45, and battled against O'Brien who was clearly the pick of the bowlers, returning astonishing figures of 4/17 off nine overs with two maidens.

Nich Adenorff did the often understated hard job of cleaning up the tail, and took 4/30 off seven.

In reply, Bairnsdale looked on track at 3/85, but as they have so often done in GCL matches, SaleMaffra's spinners could not be denied.

Slow bowlers Jack Rietschel, Jake Wynd and captain Dylan Bolton took wickets two to seven, to see Bairnsdale all out for 124 in just under 50 overs.

Botlon took the key wicket of Frank Mostert for 45, and from that point at 4/85, the visitor's lost their last six wickets for 39 runs.

Bairnsdale captain Ryan Halford chipped in with 25, but given it was off 94 balls, it perhaps just demonstrated how tricky the Sharks spinners were to deal with.

Rietschel took 3/12 off 10 overs with five maidens and Wynd 2/16 off five, while Tatterson took the last two wickets.

Warragul had the bye.

IN the Under 18s, Leongatha was far too strong for Warragul.

Leongatha won by six wickets after bowling the Wild Dogs out for 90 at Drouin Recreation Reserve.

Only Jack Walsh with 26 offered much resistance for Warragul, as Aydan Williams proved deadly for Leongatha, taking 4/10.

Matthew Dakin and Tyson Harris were also useful, taking a pair of wickets each.

Leongatha had little to no trouble chasing the total, getting home in less than 30 overs.

Walsh had some joy in the game individually, adding two wickets to his batting effort.

Sale-Maffra defeated Bairnsdale by 20 runs.

Batting first at Stephenson Park, Sale, the Sharks recovered after slumping to 3/33.

A half-century from Charlie Morris got the side out of trouble, and allowed them to post 151.

Zac O'Keefe hit good areas consistently for Bairnsdale and cleaned up the tail, along with taking the last wicket of Morris for 52.

O'Keefe got one for the mantlepiece, taking 5/13 off eight overs with three maidens.

Sale-Maffra then returned fire, and managed to run through the Bairnsdale middle order on their way to victory.

The visitor's looked in with a show at 2/51, but suffered two collapses and were eventually bowled out for 131.

Bairnsdale lost 3/12 in the middle order, and then 3/0 at the tail end.

Sale-Maffra captain Zane Waixel nabbed three wickets, as did Jayden Taylor, who hardly put a foot wrong with 3/20 off nine overs.

Latrobe Valley had the bye.

WOMEN'S GCL begins this Sunday, with a round of Twenty20 matches at Catterick Crescent, Traralgon.

All set for another great Moe Cup HORSERACING

By LIAM DURKIN

IT has to be a pretty big event to run second to the Boxing Day Test as the best day of the year.

Just two sleeps remain until the gates of Moe Racing Club are flung open to welcome patrons to this year’s Moe Cup. The first stop on the Gippsland country cup calendar, it is all systems go for the running of the Moe Cup this Friday.

General excitement is expected to permeate through the town, with businesses taking part in the traditional Moe Cup Day Sales.

Following the success of last year’s shift from the traditional Thursday timeslot, fingers and toes will be crossed for great viewing weather-wise.

At the moment, the forecast is for a maximum of 25 degrees.

But even if the weather does take a turn for the worst, don’t expect the meeting to be abandoned.

Not even flooding across the entire state could stop the Moe Cup last year.

Last year’s cup went ahead without any major disruptions, once again showcasing Moe Racing

Club’s premier StrathAyr track to a wider audience.

The track has virtually paid for itself since being installed in 2016. It’s sand-based design allows continuous drainage to occur and prevent surface water laying on the track.

Trainers will be vying for a share of the $130,000 prize pool on offer in this year’s cup, with the winner pocketing $71,500.

In keeping with the communal nature at Moe, the winning amount has been decreased, with those finishing sixth to 10th all set to take home $2600, up significantly from the $1200 last year.

At time of going to press, fields had been released for the main event.

Last year’s winner Fengarada has nominated, and could yet come and defend his crown.

The six-year-old has not raced since last year’s Moe Cup win, and interest will abound to see if trainer Andrea Leek has been plotting anything over the last few months.

Local trainers have also nominated. Moe’s own Allison Bennett will be flying the flag with Dahwilly and Not A Problem in the field, while Sale’s Damien Walkley has nominated nine-year-old gelding Schweinsteiger.

Not A Problem looks to be in encouraging form,

finishing second and fifth in its last two races on Soft 5’s, albeit across much shorter distances.

Dahwilly also came back well after being freshened recently, running second of 10 horses in Geelong on a Soft 5 across 1760 metres.

But how about these names their up against?

Gai Waterhouse has nominated two horses Supagirl and Youth Spirit, as has Peter Moody with Fame and Hennessy Lad. After making the transition from AFL coach to horse trainer, North Melbourne premiership maestro Denis Pagan might add another cup to the collection if Georgie Get Mad can prevail.

A Moe Cup next to the only gold AFL premiership cup in history would surely make a complete set.

(The AFL commissioned a gold premiership cup in 1996 as part of centenary celebrations).

Away from the track, there will be the usual goings-on in the half hour intervals between races.

Festivities will be taking place in marquees, which were nearly all sold out as of Monday, to go along with the unfurling of picnic rugs on the lawn, the hustle and bustle of the betting ring, as well as the click-clack of horse shoes trotting around the mounting yard.

Fashions on the field is again set to be as hotly

Those with dyed hair will surely hold some advantage in the best-dressed stakes.

Remember - dressing well is good manners.

So be sure to dress to impress this Friday at the Moe Cup.

From the chairman

“ALL preparations are here.

We’re confident the weather will be good, and we’ve got an indication there will be some good ones (horses) coming.

We hope the fields will be good because, last year of course we had the floods and the main reason we had limited fields is because trainers couldn’t get the horses here, so we hope that changes this year.

The number of race meetings we had in the last year on a Heavy 10 was unbelievable, and the only thing that would really affect stopping racing is visibility, because the track can handle an enormous amount of rain, it’s proven.

When you look at it, this year we only had 14 scheduled meetings, but we had an additional five transferred to us this year because we’re one of the main ones that can handle the weather which holds us well in terms of no matter how the weather goes on cup day.

While some marquees are fully booked, there are still plenty of tickets available for those wishing to attend.

Also with general admission on the day there will be plenty of undercover available, and a range of food vans on site that will provide plenty of choice.

It’s a day for the whole town, come along and enjoy the day at Moe.” Mike Vanderfeen Moe Racing Club Chairman

Latrobe Valley ready for season ahead HORSERACING

By LIAM DURKIN

MOE Racing Club’s little brother held its season launch on Friday.

Members and guests of the Latrobe Valley Racing Club gathered in the Glenview Park dining room to formally announce the start of the season.

Latrobe Valley Racing Club chairperson Frank Bezzina addressed the auditorium, and said the committee was eagerly awaiting the club’s two race meetings, Derby Day and Traralgon Cup. The Traralgon-based club differs from other racing clubs across Gippsland in Moe, Sale, Bairnsdale and Stony Creek, as it is an entirely volunteer organisation.

The club has continued to go from strength-tostrength in the last 12 months, with a new viewing mound along the home straight a highlight.

Latrobe Valley Racing Club has also formed a number of strong partnerships with local clubs, most notably Cowwarr Football-Netball Club, who are reportedly getting 150-plus people packing out both Glenview Park dining rooms for their weekly bingo.

The racing club was also an early voting centre for the recent referendum.

Bezzina made particular mention of the Latrobe Valley Racing Club Committee, who have all been proactive in seeing the venue reach its full potential.

Very much a ‘hands on’ committee, most of the work done at Latrobe Valley Racing Club has been completed by volunteer hours.

Member for Morwell Martin Cameron was in attendance at the launch, and was able to see the

great work being undertaken by the community organisation.

In terms of local cups, Moe is the first cab (or should we say cup) off the rank.

Next week is the Sale Cup on Sunday, October 29, and then Derby Day on Saturday, November 4.

The Traralgon Cup will be held at Latrobe Valley Racing Club on Sunday, December 3.

WE can say Pakenham is in Gippsland for this occasion. o Pakenham trainer Gemma Rielly has the honou ur of being this year’s Moe Cup Ambassador.

Rielly will be coming to Moe with a number off hats on, not only as a special guest, but also as a trainer and broadcaster.

The former jockey has Claidheamh Mor nominated for the cup, and is expecting a strong g showing if the five-year-old gelding takes the field..

“We took my good staying horse Claidheamh h Mor to Moe Cup Day last year and ran second in na benchmark 64, he’s furnished since then, he’s com me on and really exciting to get him to the Moe Cup as a well,” Rielly said.

“Our horse is a proper wet tracker, so if we weree to get soft to heavy ranges, we’d be happy.”

Rielly was at Sale Turf Club last week, and had q quite the meeting, g winning a race while also working as a broadca aster with Racing. com at the same time.

Entering the mounting yard after Labhuku got up, one jockey joked about a “conflict of interest”, while Rielly herseelf faced the bizarre situation of interviewing winning jockey Carleeen Hefel about her own horse.

Back to Moe, and Rielly said she was thrilled to t be this year’s cup ambassador.

“Very exciting, I’ve covered a lot of meetings forr Moe over the down past 18 months doing Racing.com, it’s only 45 minutes m the road from where I train,” she said.

“Everyone come down, there is nothing like attending a country cup, there is always something for every yone and it’s a really fun day.”

EVEN with their biggest meeting for the year only two days away, Moe Racing Club already has an eye to the future.

Those attending Moe Cup Day on Friday may notice extensive works underway in the race day building.

The building is currently undergoing an extensive upgrade, bringing it up to be fit-for-purpose for modern racing.

The entire upstairs section has been gutted, while the existing jockey’s changerooms are also receiving an overhaul.

In the interim, functions that might ordinarily take place upstairs can be relocated to either the Turfside Bistro or the Hillside Pavilion.

The downstairs members lounge (Turfside Function Centre), which forms part of the building being renovated, is still in use.

Moe Racing Club is hoping works will be completed in time for the ANZAC Day meeting next year.

Facelift: Construction is taking place at Moe Racing Club to see the race day building upgraded.
