RED ALERT

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Victorian Ambulance Union has not ruled out the possibility that a Code Red could be called in regional Victoria as Latrobe Valley paramedics have been under the pump and struggling to fill shifts.

The union had reported there were no ambulances available after 11pm on Monday, January 10 as the night shift could not be filled due to staffing shortages caused by COVID. It comes about 500 paramedics

across the state are isolation due to potential exposure or infection, which is presenting significant resourcing challenges.

A Traralgon paramedic and union member who spoke to The Express on the condition of anonymity said this was adding pressure on Morwell, or Moe branches being required to step-in and cover these shifts.

“It’s the most stressful time in my career,” she said.

“We regularly have to drop shifts as we don’t have enough staff to fill them. It

means after 11pm it only takes a couple of jobs or a transfer to Melbourne and we are caught out in the Valley.”

She said the situation was being managed with surge staff, such as SES, defence force, or student paramedics working with a qualified paramedic on a shift.

Ambulance Victoria is urging people to reserve 000 calls for emergencies only after it called a Code Red for metro Melbourne twice in seven days.

However, a metro Code Red is also impacting local ambulance services

which can get stuck in Melbourne while transferring a patient to city.

The paramedic said local ambulances were either waiting ramped-up outside metro hospitals or were taking on city jobs on the way back to the Valley due to Melbourne shortages.

“All the paramedics are doing such great work in such tough conditions that we are working at the moment, it’s really hard, but I feel proud of my colleagues,” she said.

Omicron impacts on local business

New defibrillator for Yinnar

By MICHELLE SLATER

A NEW publicly available automated external defibrillator has been installed in the Yinnar main street for locals to use in an emergency.

The new defib is on a wall between the town’s general store and post office, and is decked out with an alarm in case it gets activated.

Yinnar mum Kylie Stanistreet coined the idea for a town defib that could be accessible all hours after her son River had undergone two major heart operations.

Ms Stanistreet said River was diagnosed with cardio myopathy just after his first birthday and was sent home with a portable defibrillator after his first operation.

“Although we have our own portable AED, we make a note everywhere we go where there is one available,” she said.

“I noticed there were none in Yinnar that could be accessed 24/7, so through lockdown last year I began organising one.”

Yinnar already had AED units at the town

Page 2 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 19 January, 2022

CFA shed, bowls club, recreation reserve and memorial hall, but these are only accessible when the buildings are open.

Ms Stanistreet worked alongside the Yinnar and District Community Association to organise a $3000 grant courtesy of the Mirboo North Community Bank to purchase a unit.

YDCA secretary Kev Young said they hoped to organise a community AED training session and CRP course to let locals learn how to use the new device.

LOCAL businesses have been grappling with staff and supply shortages, with some being forced to temporarily close their doors, as Omicron has taken hold in the Latrobe Valley.

Latrobe recorded 63 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, lifting the tally of active cases in the municipality to 1084.

Traralgon Mantra shut its restaurant for a week and had to operate the hotel with reduced staff after workers were in COVID isolation or awaiting lengthy PCR test results.

Hotel director Andrew McDonald said they were still operating the hotel on a lighter roster in order to keep patrons and staff safe.

“We think for another month it will be like this and we hope rapid antigen tests become more available,” Mr McDonald said.

“We are back up and running with precautions, staff are back on deck. We are trying to keep staff to a minimum so if someone does get sick on the shift we won’t lose the whole crew.”

Mr McDonald said visitor numbers were strong and the hotel was operating a near close to full house with two major sports tournaments in town.

He said the hotel had been busy since the state exited lockdown late last year, with weekenders getting out of the big smoke to use Traralgon as a base to see Gippsland.

However, he said supply chain disruptions had meant they were in daily talks with suppliers to manage delivery delays or reduced services.

It comes as supermarket giant Woolworths introduced purchasing limits on certain items such as toilet paper, painkillers and rapid antigen tests due to supply constraints and increased demand.

Walhalla Star Hotel operator Michael Leaney said he had been struggling with supply shortages such as meat and toilet paper, with fresh produce also becoming harder to come by.

Mr Leaney said it meant they had to modify the hotel’s meals menu and hunt for essential items from several sources.

“Our accommodation is quieter, but this is not universal. One hotel may be busy but another may not,” Mr Leaney said.

“I think a lot of people are scared by Omicron and don’t want to be exposed to it or they are home isolating.”

Regulator says please explain 2030 scenario coal generators to close in 10 years to make way for the rapid uptake in renewables.

The December report stated “all brown coal generation and over two-thirds of black coal generation could withdraw by 2032”.

It said the most probable path anticipated a nine-fold increase in large-scale renewables such as wind and solar.

However, AER noted the market operator’s draft report did state that coal operators were looking at flexibility to compete with renewables.

It also stated that coal plants were operating at lower than minimum loads, and that seasonal flexibility improved profitability.

“AEMO expects coal plant to continue to explore ways to operate more flexibly to mitigate increased competition from low-cost renewable generation and distributed energy generation,” AER stated.

“AEMO also states that it has observed coal generators operating below previously observed minimum load and by adopting different daily load profiles.”

The regulator asked AEMO to address these issues and consult further ahead of its final report.

Loy Yang A and B are officially scheduled to close around 2048, with Yallourn to shut in 2028.

Code Red concerns Continued from page 1

Ambulance Victoria (AV) has assured emergency coverage is being maintained in the Valley despite staffing shortages.

AV Gippsland regional director Ross Salathiel said staff throughout the region were “working extremely hard” to manage the increasing demand while prioritising care to the sickest.

“We were grateful to have support from our crews in neighbouring areas, along with an invaluable surge workforce, to ensure emergency coverage was maintained for the local community,” Mr Salathiel said.

AV recently deployed recent upgrades to help meet demand in the Latrobe Valley including a new Medium Acuity Transport Service in Traralgon and a new Peak Period Unit in Moe. “Here in the Gippsland region, we are continuing to see a very high demand for emergency care, and this is expected to continue for a number of weeks, especially with more visitors to the region than usual.

“Every call for assistance that isn’t an emergency puts significant strain on our crews to reach those patients who need us the most.”

THE Australian Energy Regulator is asking the energy market operator to further explain a predicted scenario in which nearly two-thirds of Australia’s coal generation could be gone by 2030.

The AER released its transparency review of AEMO’s Draft 2022 Integrated System Plan, asking for more detail on a range of assumptions outlined in the draft report which was released in December.

The regulator is asking if AEMO had examined if ramping coal generators up and down during the day could balance the varying demand of renewables and extend the operating life of coal plants.

“AEMO should provide more explanation as to why thermal coal plants are not assumed to operate more flexibly. This may affect the timing of thermal coal retirements,” the AER review stated.

“AEMO has also not adequately explained the reasons for assuming that thermal coal plants are not expected to operate flexibly on an intra-day basis.

“Particularly given these generators are known to adopt different daily load profiles.”

The AEMO draft report outlined four scenarios to 2050, predicting the Latrobe Valley’s brown

From the heart: A letter penned by Kennah Buhmann showing her appreciation for the Trafalgar Fire Brigade.

By LIAM DURKIN

THE sense of ‘helping us to help you’ was seen in Trafalgar in the lead up to Christmas, with the local fire brigade rescuing a young girl trapped inside a car.

Members of the Trafalgar Fire Brigade were able to pry youngster Kennah Buhmann to safety thanks to the use of a forceable entry tool kit, which was purchased through donations by the community.

The brigade voted to use the donations to purchase the tool kit to gain emergency entry into cars.

On the day of the incident at Trafalgar’s Shell service station, it is understood the car door closed while the keys were still in the ignition, forcing

the doors to become locked due to a mechanism seen in many modern day cars, trapping young Kennah and her dog Gypsy.

After getting called out, the Brigade was able to see Kennah and Gypsy to safety quickly and efficiently.

The Brigade then made sure Kennah and her family, who were from outside the region, were okay, staying by their side in support.

Kennah got to explore the fire truck, and later received a ‘Captain Koala’ teddy bear in the mail from the Brigade.

Showing her appreciation, Kennah penned a heartfelt letter to thank the Brigade for all they had done for her.

While those who come across local brigade donation tins in their community may wonder

photograph supplied

just how much difference a few dollars or even cents might make in the long run, Trafalgar Fire Brigade secretary Kathy Geisler said every little bit helped - and in this case, the community had in turn helped the Brigade in seeing a potential tragedy avoided.

“It shows them where their funds go to, if they put 20 cents, 15c, 5c, whatever, in our donation tin, all of that gets collated and it goes toward equipment to help out the Brigade help out their broader community,” she said.

“When they put their spare change in the tins these (entry tool kits) are the sort of things we can go out and purchase.”

Those interested in joining a local brigade can register their interest on the CFA website.

COVID forces closure of council service centre

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has closed its Morwell customer service centre due to COVID-related staffing shortages and is also in the midst of re-considering changes to upcoming Australia Day events.

Latrobe City chief executive officer Steven Piasente said they had chosen to keep the customer service centre closed until January 24 to “ensure the safety of our community and team members”.

Mr Piasente said Latrobe City will reopen the centre “subject to availability of staff”.

“Like many of the larger employers in the

region, we are experiencing the challenges of the current outbreak and are adapting our services to make sure we can support the community and look after our team,” Mr Piasente said.

“We are also considering changes to a number of community events, such as council’s Civic Australia Day events, in order to ensure the safety of those attending and staff.

“We will keep the community informed of any change. We thank the community for their patience and understanding.”

It comes as the upcoming Yinnar South Australia Day community event at the Martin Walker Reserve was cancelled due to COVID concerns.

Local committee member Annette Deppeler said they had made the decision to can the event with fears of rising case numbers in the region.

The Moe and Yallourn North outdoor pools were also temporarily closed last week due to staff shortages.

Latrobe Leisure had issued a statement warning that some operating hours or services may continue to be affected in the next few weeks due to escalating case numbers.

Residents can make payments to Latrobe City via EFTPOS at the Morwell Library or by visiting the council website.

From humble beginnings as a saddlery in Adelaide the HOLDEN name quickly became synonymous with engineering innovation, industrial pride and Australian ingenuity.

Winner winner: Moe train station was judged to have the best Christmas decorations out of all stations on the V/Line network. photograph supplied.

Moe train station’s decorated success OF all the train stations on the V/Line network, the one voted to have the best Christmas decorations was right here in the Latrobe Valley.

Moe train station was the winner of V/Line’s annual Christmas decorating competition, getting the nod from judged and V/Line chief executive officer Matt Carrick.

Eleven stations across the V/Line network were involved in getting into the festive spirit.

“It was wonderful to see our staff getting into the festive spirit and, despite some tough competition, I’m sure passengers at the station would agree that Moe was a standout,” he said.

“V/Line plays an important role in regional Victoria and I take great pride in seeing our staff continue to make valuable contributions to their community through fun initiatives.”

The decorating competition is an initiative organised by V/Line each year to encourage staff to come together and be creative, helping to spread cheer to passengers.

Camperdown Station on the Warrnambool line took out second place and Echuca Station on the northern corridor came in third.

The Trafalgar Holden Museum in Gippsland Victoria helps tell that remarkable story and celebrates Australia's HOLDEN Heritage.

Opened in 2014, the Tourism awarded Trafalgar Holden Museum is housed within the old Trafalgar Butter factory on Waterloo Road, founded by local Holden enthusiast Neil Joiner and a team of like minded car enthusiasts.

The museum is not-for-profit, managed and run entirely by its volunteers and houses a collection that has been deemed nationally significant following a formal Significance Assessment through National Library of Australia in 2020. It found that the museum's collection is significant, both socially and culturally, to Australia.

Meeting demand: The state government says it will train up to 1000 new vaccinators, helping first-year health students, retired nurses, and more join an expanded workforce to be deployed across state-run centres and boost Victoria’s vaccination efforts. file photograph

State government is set to train 1000 vaccinators THE state government says it will train up to 1000 new vaccinators, helping first-year health students, retired nurses, and more join an expanded workforce to be deployed across state-run centres and boost Victoria’s vaccination efforts.

Millions of Victorians will become eligible for their third dose over the coming weeks, and a new pool of trained-up vaccinators will mean a broader workforce is available to prepare and administer COVID-19 vaccines, while also freeing up health professionals to return to their normal duties.

The expanded force will join nurse and pharmacist immunisers in state-run vaccination clinics for up to six months and will be supervised by experienced clinicians.

“COVID-19 vaccinations are safe and effective – the best thing all Victorians can do to protect the health system and keep their families safe is get your third dose as soon as you’re eligible,” Acting Health Minister James Merlino said.

“With comprehensive training and supervision – we’re helping 1000 Victorians in relevant fields get the training they need to join our vaccination efforts.

“Millions of Victorians will soon be eligible for their third dose, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure the community can access a vaccine as quickly and as safely as possible.”

The new vaccinators will be operating in well-established public health service-run sites, with robust processes in place to ensure the new workforce is appropriately trained, supervised and supported.

Known as Limited Scope COVID-19 Vaccinators, they will be required to successfully complete

mandatory Commonwealth and Victorian COVID19 vaccination training – equivalent to training requirements for other emergency authorised COVID-19 vaccination workforces.

They will also complete a COVID-19 Clinical Skills and Competencies Assessment to ensure they can perform their duties appropriately.

But they will not be responsible for establishingpatientconsentandwillbeauthorisedto administer the COVID-19 vaccine to people over the age of 18 years only.

The vaccinators will also be supported and supervised by a ‘supervising authorised immuniser’ provided by health services, with relevant skills and experience in the technical aspects of vaccination.

Over the next few months Victorians with appropriate knowledge, skills and experience will be encouraged to join the COVID-19 vaccinator workforce as required.

Victorians with experience working in a health or community service setting, or who are enrolled in a health-related course, are desired – and they should regularly review local health service job advertisements and Department of Health jobs and careers websites.

Applications will opened on Monday.

Victorians aged 18 years and older are eligible to get their third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine four months after their second dose.

If you got your second dose in September or earlier, book an appointment through your local GP or pharmacy, or visit www.coronavirus.vic.gov. au/vaccine to book at a state-run clinic.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS trees located on medians, abutting car parks and on roadsides in CBDs and residential, and industrial areas,” Cr Jenkins said.

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

WELCOME to the latest instalment of Looking Back Through The Years.

Here’s what was making news in the pages of The Express during these points of our proud history.

SWITZER HITS UP TON FOR TIGERS

The highlight of Saturday’s matches in TDCA cricket was a masterful 167 by Gormandale’s Grantley Switzer.

Switzer opened the batting and was eventually dismissed with only five overs left to play.

His innings was characterised by thundering lofted off drives and powerful hook shots.

Thanks to his contribution, Gormy amassed the mammoth total of 6/344 against CATS. In other matches, Jeeralang-Boolarra rolled Raiders for a paltry 111, but is a precarious 4/38 in reply, Rovers scored 160 against Churchill, Glengarry is 9/213 thanks mainly to a fine 82 from Barry Little, Traralgon West reached 9/210 against Imperials and Toongabbie was held to 152 by Ex Students.

FUN FACT: A three-bedroom brick home in Old Newborough with a remodelled bathroom and large corner spa had an asking price of $99,500 with Keith Williams Real Estate.

CROCODILES IN PONDAGE

Several Latrobe Valley people have reported seeing what are claimed to be crocodiles swimming in the Hazelwood Power Station cooling pondage.

Early last week, Mr Clyde Burge of Yinnar, his son Wayne and Craig Althorp, both 12, saw unusual creatures while they were swimming in the pondage near Switchback Rd. Mr Burge and the two boys arrived at the pondage at about 7pm last Monday night and soon after saw several ‘‘things’’ swimming in a small circles nearby.

DARE DEVIL ACT FOR LV

One of the world’s top auto acts, Hollywood Auto Dare Devils, will be at the Morwell Speedway on Monday, January 24 at 8pm.

WATER BANS GET TOUGHER

Water restrictions in Moe have been tightened because of increasing demand and low water supplies.

Now watering of gardens by hose is permitted only between 5pm and 8pm. No sprinklers are allowed at all.

Sports ovals, race courses and golf courses can use a maximum of three sprinklers between 6am and 8am. Outside of these hours, hoses must be disconnected from all taps.

NO COAL DEALS YET FOR OIL

The state government has made no commitment of Latrobe Valley coal from specific sources to either of the two companies with oil-from-coal agreements, according to the Premier, Mr Thompson.

Mr Thompson has told the Member for Morwell, Miss Callister, that even the nomination of coal for feasibility study purposes was ‘‘still pending’’.

GERMAN GENERATOR ON ITS WAY TO LOY YANG POWER

A generator from Germany is being shipped to Loy Yang Power to be installed in the unit which failed on December 22.

Loy Yang Power chief executive Ian Nethercote announced Friday that Siemens personnel in Germany had identified a mothballed generator that could be adapted to the existing turbine at Loy Yang Power.

The generator had been used in a power station in Moorburg, Germany and was taken out of service last year.

“Acquiring this alternate machine will reduce the downtime of the unit and provide and increased level of generating capacity for Victoria much earlier than other alternatives,” Mr Nethercote said.

COMMUNITY INPUT SOUGHT ON ROLE OF TREES IN STREETSCAPES

Latrobe City Council has invited public comment on a draft ‘Street Tree Chapter’ which will form part of a review of its urban design standards.

Teamwork develops growth of garden and young people

By MICHELLE SLATER

LOCAL young people are learning how to grow their own food in a series of garden boxes under construction at the Latrobe Youth Space.

A team of youth space participants with some help from volunteers from AGL have been getting together to build 12 garden boxes over the school holidays.

Latrobe Youth Space manager Emma Hollingsworth said they aimed to fill the raised beds with herbs and vegies to use in cooking programs.

Ms Hollingsworth told The Express the project was coming courtesy of a $5000 Latrobe City community grant.

“This is an opportunity to bring young people together and use the produce in our kitchen garden program,” Ms Hollingsworth said.

“It’s really good to create opportunities for social interaction in the school holidays, and let people know we are here and who we are.”

Ms Hollingsworth said they were also hoping to create a sensory garden as well as a growing bush tucker.

The Latrobe Youth Space runs activities for local young people between 12 and 25, with programs in health, life skills, arts, music and support.

Ms Hollingsworth said they had to shift several programs online during lockdown, including running virtual lunchtime gaming sessions with Traralgon College.

“We’ve had a few setbacks so this means we haven’t been able to gain momentum with our programs and get out there as much as we wanted because of lockdowns,” she said.

“Now with activities like this we can build up participation for all young people in the Latrobe Valley.”

rom history way past, Australia Day continues to be celebrated on January 26.

From the original celebration of the landing at Sydney Cove in 1788, Australia Day and what it represents has changed over time.

In modern times, Australia Day is a day to celebrate and reflect on what we love about Australia; a sense of fair go, our lifestyle, our freedom, democracy, our land and the people of Australia.

Our families, neighbours, friends, workmates and our communities.

The celebrations of this day take many forms, from the Aussie barbecue in the backyard, to heading out for a picnic, or attending the many

local community events across our region to recognise those who have made a difference.

Australia Day is also the chosen day of more than 16,000 new Australians who choose to become citizens of this great country.

Australia Day celebrations continue to be hugely popular, with three in four Australians believing it has a bigger meaning beyond being just a day off.

The message that this day portrays has been carried from generation to generation - a day to reflect and show recognition of what Australia Day means to each of us.

So, whether it’s a snag on the barbecue with family and friends, a local council or community event, it is a day to celebrate ‘Australia’.

High-voltage powerlines to be protected under scheme MORE than more than 30,000 kilometres of high voltage powerlines across regional Victoria will be protected under a scheme to reduce the risk of bushfires.

The state government is rolling out the third round of its Powerline Bushfire Safety Program, after upgrades had been completed in Moe last year.

The upgrades include installing giant safety switches - or Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiters - which prevent fires starting by shutting off a powerline’s power when it makes contact with vegetation.

Nineteen of these operating switches prevented 33 potentially catastrophic fires in the summer of 2019-20.

Baw Baw and Wellington shires have also been included in a powerline upgrade fund directed to areas most affected during the summer 2019-20 bushfires.

Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the Powerline Bushfire Safety Program has “delivered on its promise to significantly reduce the risk of bushfires started by barewire powerlines”.

“It now has a proven track record with this report detailing a great outcome for the Victorian community, especially those in high bushfire risk areas,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

“This program − along with our record $517 million investment in the 2021/2022 budget to reduce bushfire risk − is helping to keep Victorians safe.”

The $750 million program was implemented following the 2009 Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission.

The commission found more than 70 per cent of deaths in the Black Saturday fires were caused by fires started by electrical infrastructure.

An independent audit carried out by Aurecon found the program has resulted in a 44.1 per cent reduction in powerline bushfire risk across the state.

Trains are replaced by buses BUSES have replaced Traralgon and Bairnsdale trains for the entire journey until Thursday, February 10 for level crossing removal works.

Services will be replaced by a mix of express, semi-express and stopping-all-station coach services.

The Level Crossing Removal Project will see 85 level crossings removed across metropolitan Melbourne.

To plan your journey, head to vline.com.au.

The primary purpose of yoga is to teach the individual how to relax and achieve tranquility. Everyone wants peace and quiet, but how can we avoid noise? Just try to go within yourself for a moment and you will find that even if you plug your ears, the noise still leaks in.

all the time. This breath awareness relaxes the nerves andd sponttaneouslly intternallizes the miindd. It rellaxes nott only the abdominal, back and leg muscles, but also the most important areas of the brain which control the whole physical body, the emotions and the intellect. When you experience this relaxation, the strain of the day’s work falls away, and you feel as refreshed as if you’d just had several hours of sleep. But even the relaxation of sleep cannot be compared with this state, because yogic relaxation brings emotional tranquility as well.

Record fleet to help protect region

A RECORD number of firefighting aircraft have touched down in Gippsland to help protect communities and the environment from bushfires this summer.

This season’s fleet has been bolstered by the addition of a Type 1 Helitak helicopter, which will help Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic), Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) respond quickly to fires.

FFMVic Gippsland project leader for Emergency Management Peter Brick said having 11 dedicated

aircraft ready to respond should be a comfort to all people in the region.

“These planes and helicopters give us a faster response time, especially in remote areas, which is crucial in getting on top of fires before they can spread,” Mr Brick said.

“It also gives us more flexibility in getting rappel crews onto the ground to control fires and helps with the protection of homes and other assets on private land.

“This air fleet is an increasingly important tool in

helping to protect private and public land, so adding to that capability this season will further improve our ability to contain fires while they are small.”

CFA Gippsland regional commander Mike Owen said the firefighting aircraft coordinate with ground operations in protecting people and property.

“With the fire season in Gippsland upon us again, CFA is relying on the rapid dispatch of firefighting aircraft to fires in support of our communities,” Mr Owen said.

“The Multi-Agency Pre-determined Dispatch

(PDD) system dispatches aircraft at the same time as CFA Brigades are paged for any bush or scrub fire during days of elevated fire danger.

“This coordinated effort by ground and air resources is extremely efficient and quick, and can make an invaluable difference to the damage a fire could do. It is a system that can save properties and potentially lives.”

Aircraft are strategically placed across the state and can be moved quickly to respond to threats to life and property.

Be inspired by birthday great Muhammad Ali: “The service you do for others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

planet) in retrograde mode until January 29, expect to be more introverted, and your social life will be much quieter than usual. You’re in the mood to pursue solo leisure activities like walking in the park, reading a book, journal writing or listening to music. Monday night’s Full Moon activates your neighbourhood zone.

So you’ll feel inclined to do good deeds in your local community, but in a private and low-key way.

GGemini Personal and professional

relationships look complicated this week, as you misread signals or misunderstand motives. So avoid making major decisions until Mercury goes direct on February 4. And don’t let distractions muddle your mind! Focus, concentration and application will take you far as you research, rehearse or revise. In the words of American polymath (and birthday great) Benjamin Franklin: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

Cancer Expect an intense and emotional

week, as the Full Moon stimulates your sign.

Your capacity to adapt will be put to the test, especially in personal relationships. An outdated partnership could end, making way for a new sweetheart or best friend. If you are overly defensive in your opinions and bossy in your behaviour, then loved ones and colleagues will stopp listeningg to what you have to sayy. So do your best to get the balance right between being firm and flexible!

Leo Cats are in the mood to cause plenty

of commotion but is that such a smart idea?

Dramas and disruptive behaviour will just alienate you from others. By all means do your own thing but don’t disregard the needs of family, friends and colleagues in the process.

And don’t assume you know how a loved one is thinking or feeling. With Mercury and Venus both retrograde, you’re probably way off the mark. So bide your time, observe closely and think before you speak.

Virgo g Virgos are the veritable worrywarts of

the zodiac. And this week – with Mercury and Venus both in retrograde mode – you could go into anxiety overdrive. So try to slow down, calm down, and keep things in perspective.

Courtesy of Monday night’s Full Moon, it’s a good week to share your goals for the future with family and friends. Be inspired by singer-songwriter Dolly Parton (who turns 76 on Wednesday): “I wake up with new dreams every day.”

personality but – with Mercury and Venus both retrograde – it will be difficult to balance head and heart. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try! Loved ones or work colleagues will attempt to throw you off balance, scramble your sense of certainty or press your emotional buttons. But try to deflect their efforts with lashings of Libran style. Talking things through with a troubled friend is the healing balm they need.

Full Moon stirs your gypsy gene and finds you dreaming of greener pastures and foreign adventures. You’re also longing for deeper connections within your local community, but retrograde Mercury and retrograde Venus stymie progress this week. Meaningful friendships are possible, but only if they develop in an organic fashion. So passion, patience and persistence are required if you want to benefit from long-lasting results.

Sagittarius g This week retrograde

Venuus and retrograde Mercury frustrate plans and slow progress. Monday night’s Full Moon shines a spotlight on lust and loot, so an intimate relationship could soar spectacularly or crash and burn. And you need to keep up-to-date with money matters. If you are flexible and well-informed, then it will pay off further down the track. But if you are rash with cash and careless with credit, then you’ll end up worrying about your financial future.

Capricorn The Sun, Pluto and retrograde Venus are transiting through your sign, which amplifies your drive and ambition. And these planets also rev up your ruthless side, which can alienate you from others. Fortunately, Monday night’s Full Moon gives you a welcome boost as you romance your sweetheart, charm close friends or influence important people. But with Mercury reversing through your money zone, you need to be financially conservative and cautious.

Aquarius q Under the influence of Saturn and retroograde Mercury, motivation and energy levels will be low. You’re also likely to become confused about a current issue as too many options cloud your judgement. On Monday night, the Full Moon stirs up your reckless side and you could surprise (or even shock) others with an unpredictable move that comes out of left field. But too much haste could lead to an argument or accident so calm down before you come a cropper!

Test of discipline: Research from a Harvard Business study shows that 80 per cent of New Year’s resolutions fail by the beginning of February. file photograph

Have you stuck to your New Year’s resolution?

RESEARCH from a Harvard Business study shows that 80 per cent of New Year’s resolutions fail by the beginning of February.

Why? Because people’s New Year’s resolutions rarely have actionable steps. Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) would like to encourage everyone to set SMART goals, rather than ambiguous resolutions this year.

As we bid farewell to another year of uncertainty, we look to 2022 with open arms and a determination for optimism.

People all around the world see the New Year as a fresh slate and feel confident when setting out commitments to better oneself over the future 12 months.

One of the most common resolutions is exercising more, but with such a broad term, it can be hard to attain as it does not clearly outline what an individual is trying to explicitly achieve and what it means to them.

Every January, there is an influx of people signing up for gyms and exercise programs with the best intensions.

However, when instant results aren’t noticed or an injury takes place, these numbers slowly dwindle.

Initially, when thinking of resolutions, make sure the goal has meaning to you specifically, otherwise you’re unlikely to achieve them.

These goals also need to be SMART - Specific,

Got something to say?

Pisces Do you have a cherished dream that

is taking forever to come true? Are you blaming everyone else for the hold-up? Take a good, long look at yourself – perhaps you are the problem?

With Mars charging through your reputation zone (until January 24) and Jupiter in Pisces, there are no excuses for procrastinating. You’ll find the more proactive you are, the more your career and public profile will blossom. Sunday is a good time to meditate, contemplate and plan.

Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time bound.

When reviewing your goals for 2022, you should have a clear outline of exactly what you aim to achieve within the year.

“Setting yourself difficult challenges is all well and good, however it can seem daunting and unachievable at the beginning. If you divide the goals into manageable, bite-sized pieces to, you will be able to tick off your progress throughout the year,” ESSA exercise physiologist Carly Ryan said Most resolutions fail because a plan to accomplish the resolution hasn’t been made.

Start small, like running for one minute then walking for one minute for a total of half an hour – slowly building from here, the goal becomes achievable.

When you complete each step towards the ultimate goal, you build more trust in yourself each step and you are able to see distinct progress, which in turn increases self-discipline and motivation.

Then the bigger challenges and resolutions are not so intimidating.

So, when you grab a notepad and pen to set out your 2022 New Year’s resolutions, remember you need to warm up before you go from zero to 100.

If you haven’t heard the story about the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race - play the long game.

Australia Post marks Year of the Tiger with new stamps AUSTRALIA Post has issued a new set of stamps to celebrate the new Lunar New Year of the Tiger, which will begin on February 1.

Lunar New Year, also called the Spring Festival in China, is the most important of the traditional festivals celebrated by Asian cultures throughout the world bringing families together to feast, exchange gifts of money wrapped in red paper, and burn incense to honour their ancestors.

Australia Post Philatelic group manager Michael Zsolt said the stamps provide an opportunity to send wishes of good fortune to family and friends, both here and overseas.

“Each year, we look forward to seeing how the 12 animals of the Lunar New Year cycle will be represented on the stamp designs,” Mr Zsolt said.

“It is such an important time for families to connect and celebrate, and the stamp issue is always a popular one for our collectors.”

Award-winning designer Chrissy Lau, in her second consecutive year designing the Lunar New Year stamp for Australia Post, said the designs played on the familiarity of the waving Lucky Cat figurine seen in East/West culture.

“These popular icons evoke nostalgia and a sense of multiculturalism, so I wanted to weave these concepts into the Tiger,” Ms Lau said.

“I hope the stamps make people smile and give them a sense of fun, because the world has been a bit crazy these past few years.”

People born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be very active, courageous, persistent, stubborn and imperious, with a tendency to irritability.

Famous people born in the Year of the Tiger include Marilyn Monroe, Usain Bolt, Lady Gaga, Steve Irwin and Queen Elizabeth II. The designs show the Tiger in three separate scenarios for stamps of $1.10, $2.20 and $3.30, and a zodiac sheetlet represents all the animals of the zodiac in the same style with additional stamp denominations and a total of 15 separate designs.

The stamps and associated products, including a minisheet and stamp pack, are on sale now at participating Post Offices, via mail order on 1800 331 794, and online while stocks last.

Top orchestra is headed our way in May THE Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is coming to Traralgon in May to run school and community workshops as part of a regional tour funded by the state government.

The MSO will be heading to the Valley ahead of performing in Warragul in July and December.

The tour includes concerts, free pre-concert lectures, schools and community workshops and rehearsals with community choirs.

The visit comes courtesy of a Touring Victoria grant to help take professional productions, performances, exhibitions and programs to regional and outer-metropolitan Victoria.

Other local recipients include the kickstART year-long community focused program of performances in Stratford.

Creative Industries Minister Danny Pearson said it was “fantastic to see so many wonderful arts events and cultural performances being presented at locations right across the state”.

“These programs ensure more Victorians can enjoy great productions in venues large and small, and they bolster creative workers who deliver so much for their communities,” Mr Pearson said.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL ABC TV, Saturday, 8.30pm

Community and kind-hearted people are the style du jour in this heartwarming British series, premiering tonight. Based on the novels of James Herriott about a young vet in the 1930s working in the Yorkshire Dales, the books are so popular that they have been continually in print since their debut in the 1970s. Starring newcomer Nicholas Ralph as Herriott, as well as the late Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones) in the excellent cast, it’s perfect viewing for our divided world. In “You’ve Got to Dream”, Herriott discovers that treating the animals is as much about treating their owners. Featuring cute animals, idyllic scenery, and lighthearted stories, its well-timed fare.

Puppies, and kelpie puppies in particular, are ridiculously cute and will make even the hardest of hearts skip a beat and swoon involuntarily.

These pups may pull at the heart strings but don’t be fooled – they are here to work, and work they shall. In this four-part series, training begins hard and fast as the graziers – helped by master dog trainer Neil McDonald – try to get Annie, Gossip, Lucifer, Spice and Chet up to speed in just 12 months instead of the usual three years. This series reveals the emotional, economic and environmental benefits of using dogs, rather than machines, to muster on the land.

When not stuck in a peak-hour push on the morning commute, travelling by train is by far one of the most enjoyable and relaxing ways to travel.

And venturing further afield, you get to soak up some spectacular scenery along the way. In the final part of this series, we explore the heritage railway that runs through the Severn Valley between Worcester and Shropshire, following the tracks of the old Great Western Railway.

Celebrating its historical importance, we’ll learn how a group of dedicated volunteers revived the line 50 years ago so generations to come can marvel at the preserved locomotives, quaint stations and rolling fields.

Try as they might, social media and politics have a troubled relationship and we see that in full force tonight after Gia, the highly popular social media influencer daughter of an equally high-profile and powerful US ambassador, goes missing. Are their clues in any of her posts that may help Callen (Chris O’Donnell, pictured) and the team track her down? And in the world of international diplomacy, are there any secrets the special agents are not privy to? In an online world of manufactured and stylised lives, the agents are going to need all the help they can get to get to the truth, so call on Aliyah De Leon (Briana Marin) to help.

Personal development is acquired from Personal Projects at St Paul’s

ST Paul’s Anglican Grammar School Year 9 students have proudly presented their new-found skills to other students as part of their Thinking and Learning Personal Project.

Students had to research, plan, produce and create their Personal Projects based on an area of interest, and were presented with extended challenges this semester with the addition of online learning and lockdowns.

There were a variety of different projects that included handmade jewellery, macrame, a marathon bike ride, a vertical garden, a gourmet

cookbook, a retro arcade game, a drama script, travel blog, artworks, house plans and interior design displays, coding and computer builds, photography, a handmade surfboard, furniture, candles and a candle making business, and a rebuilt motorbike.

Although the students were unable to present at a formal Exhibition Evening, they were delighted they could still celebrate their hard work and knowledge obtained from pursuing their potential in their area of interest.

Helping hand: St Paul’s principal Cameron Herbert gets some gaming tips from Jude on the computer he built.

Cool handiwork: St Paul’s student Alex with her handmade surfboard.

Thumbs up: St Paul’s teacher Nathan Byrne testing out Year 9 student Darcy’s motorbike he photographs supplied rebuilt.

A look at the events happening across the Latrobe Valley University of the Third Age welcomes new members

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

ARE you actively retired? Do you want to continue to challenge your mind and body?

LVU3A offers a range of classes and activities which may interest you.

Check out the webpage at www.lvu3a.org.au for more information or you may prefer to call into the office at Airlie Bank Homestead, 33 The Boulevard in Morwell, between 10am and 1pm on Wednesday, January 19, when enrolments will be open.

Further details can be obtained from the secretary on 0427 331 072.

A new-look sign for Moe South

“WELCOME to Moe South - A Bushfire-Aware Community” now greets locals and visitors entering the Moe South area via Coalville Road.

This sign has been designed by members of the Moe South community as part of the Community Based Bushfire Management program, supported

by Latrobe City Council and Safer Together.

The idea for a community sign came from Moe South CFA Brigade Captain Stephen Bates, suggesting there should be something more visual to acknowledge the community’s awareness of bushfires.

“In recent times, the Moe South community has been very conscious of doing bushfire preparation works around properties,” Cpt Bates said.

The sign also alerts visitors passing through that they too have a role to play in keeping the area as safe as possible.

Being a community sign, it is hoped that it sends a positive message of shared responsibility for bushfire risk reduction and preparedness.

The wording was brainstormed and voted on at the Neighbour Day Barbecue in March 2021, with ‘Fired Up to be Fire Ready’ as a close second choice.

Following the barbecue, local teenager Hana Schloetel volunteered to draft some designs to accompany the wording.

Hana is proud of her artwork and grateful for the opportunity to have been involved in a community initiative such as this.

She would like to encourage other young people to engage in bushfire awareness and preparedness activities in their local area.

“I think we landed on something that we want to encourage (such as clearing around the house, keeping trees in good shape), not what we don’t want it to be (a landscape on fire),” community member Chris Morley said.

Free Tucker at Traralgon Uniting Church this afternoon

COME along to a sausage sizzle in the grounds of Traralgon Uniting Church, Park Lane.

There will be games and activities for some family fun or come along just for a chat with others.

All welcome.

This event is on today (January 19) from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

There are plans to have the sausage sizzle event happen on the third Wednesday of the odd months of the year.

$250 Power Saving Bonus for concession card holders closes soon

THE Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Region, Melina Bath is encouraging eligible concession card holders across Gippsland who have not yet applied for the state government’s $250 one-off rebate payment to get their application in.

Ms Bath said she wanted to ensure those who were eligible for the rebate did not miss out, as the program was closing at the end of January.

“The Victorian government’s $250 one-off rebate payment has not been well promoted to all eligible concession care holders, it’s important that all those who are eligible are made aware and receive their power saving bonus in the next couple of weeks,” Ms Bath said.

“The program is only available until January 31, 2022 and I encourage everyone who holds an eligible concession card to apply now.”

The $250 Power Saving Bonus is a rebate for Victorian electricity account holders who have a Department of Veterans Affairs Gold Card or receive a Centrelink or Department of Veterans Affairs pension or JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, Austudy or Abstudy payment.

Applications can be made online by visiting www.compare.energy.vic.gov.au.

Payments are made via a cheque or electronic funds transfer into the customers designated bank account and is received usually within two to three weeks of submission.

Ms Bath said if Gippsland constituents were having difficulty navigating the online application process, they can contact her office on 5174 7066 during business to receive assistance.

“Though out the year my staff have assisted hundreds of Gippsland concession card holders access their power saving bonus – it’s a quick five minute process, but ensure you have a copy of your

Latrobe Community Health Service launches new Community Investment Program

LATROBE Community Health Service has launched a Community Investment Program, offering a new source of funding for eligible community projects and services in the Latrobe Valley that do not attract funding from any other source.

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer this new community investment program,” Latrobe Community Health Service chief executive officer Ben Leigh said.

“We recognise the best solutions to health and community issues come from within local communities. This program aims to support those ideas by providing money to projects that may otherwise not get funded.”

Applications for the first round of grants from the fund will open on January 24, with a focus in 2022 on food security in the Latrobe Valley.

“Our aim in the coming year is to fund projects that increase access, availability and consumption of fresh, nutritious food for those who live, work and play in the Latrobe Valley,” Mr Leigh said.

The Latrobe Community Health Service Community Investment Program will provide access to micro-grants of between $500-$2000 for community groups and services to undertake projects over 6–12 months.

People interested in learning more about the Community Investment Program or how to apply can visit https://www.lchs.com.au/ lchs-community-investment-program/ or email communitygrants@lchs.com.au.

Grants now available for agricultural shows and field days APPLICATIONS under round two of the federal government’s Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program will open on January 28, 2022.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program is a way to give show societies a much-needed cash injection after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Agricultural shows and field days generate over $1 billion in sales for small businesses every year,” Mr Littleproud said.

“For some communities and charities, agricultural shows or field days are the financial boost they need to get them through the year.

“Not only are they essential for business, agricultural shows and field days provide a way for people to show off their latest innovations and technology, increasing productivity and profitability for all involved in the agriculture sector.”

Grants from $10,000 to $70,000 will be available for eligible show societies and field days organisations to help provide the confidence and resilience they need to go ahead and plan their events in 2022 and beyond.

Applicants will be able to claim for eligible expenditure incurred for events cancelled in the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further information will be available from January 28 from the Community Grants website www.communitygrants.gov.au

Foreca ast is in for new weath herman

A penny for your thoughts on list of banished words SOME new words and phrases have made it onto the latest list of Banished Words.

Lake Superior State University’s in the United States releases its tongue-in-cheek Banished Words List annually, announcing the results on December 31 to start the New Year on the right foot, er, tongue.

Each year the University receives submissions from across the globe.

Common parlance dominated submissions for the past 12 months. More than 1000 of the 1250-plus nominations of words and terms for banishment for misuse, overuse, and uselessness for 2022 were colloquial.

The number one offender was: “Wait, what?” These two four-letter words should not go together under any circumstances, according to many nominators and the contest judges from the LSSU English Department, because the two-part halting interrogative is disingenuous, divergent, deflective, and other damning words that begin with the letter d.

“Most people speak through informal discourse. Most people shouldn’t misspeak through informal discourse. That’s the distinction nominators far and wide made, and our judges agreed with them,” said Peter Szatmary, executive director of marketing and communications at LSSU. “Also, seven of the 10 words and terms that LSSU banished last year reflected real-world concerns about COVID-19, while three could be categorised as quotidian. This year, as the global pandemic persists along with adaptations to it, the inverse

WIN News has announced the app pointment of broadcaster Adam Straney as its new network weather presenter.

Adam has a long-established meedia career and joins the WIN News team to deliver comprehensive weatherr reports across the network.

WIN’s director of news Stella La auri welcomed Adam to the WIN News team.

“Weather has always been integr gral to the WIN News bulletins. From the coast to inland Australia, our viewers reely on comprehensive detailed local coverage of the weather,” Ms Lauri said.

“Our regional and rural viewers reely on accurate weather information as part of their daily lives, an nd we take great grr pride in ensuring we deliver it every weekd day in a comprehensive and informative way across the neetwork.

“Adam has been entrenched in loca al communities across Australia’s east and knows firsth hand how weather impacts the regions. He will be a great addition to the WIN News team.”

Mr Straney is looking forward too his new role.

“I’m really excited about the oppoortunity to bring the weather to so many lounge rooms across regional and rural Australia each weeknight as part of the WIN News team,” Mr Straney said.

Mr Straney brings strong expeerience from radio, having previously been a proogram grr director with Southern Cross Austereo and most recently a breakfast anchor with Wave FM on the NSW south coast.

WIN News airs weeknights in Giippsland at 5.30pm.

occurred. Seven of the 10 words and terms to be banished are more conversational-based, with the other three applying to the coronavirus.

“One possible takeaway from all this about the act and art and science of disclosing something is the more things change, the more things stay the same. At the very least, it’s complicated.”

Lake Superior State University has compiled an annual Banished Words List since 1976 to uphold, protect, and support excellence in language by encouraging avoidance of words and terms that are overworked, redundant, oxymoronic, clichéd, illogical, nonsensical - and otherwise ineffective, baffling, or irritating.

Examples of past winners (or should that be losers?) to make the yearly compilation are: “detente”, “surely”, “classic”, “bromance” and “COVID-19,” plus “wrap my head around”, “user friendly”, “at this point in time”, “not so much” and “viable alternative.”

Medicare call welcomed

RURAL doctors have welcomed the recent announcement by the federal government that a number of Medicare items for telehealth which were available earlier in the COVID pandemic will be reinstated until June 30 to support GPs and Consultant Specialists in providing care during the Omicron wave.

The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) and Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) said the measures will greatly assist rural GPs, Rural Generalists and rural Consultant Specialists to care for patients while also reducing the spread of Omicron.

The announcement is in response to requests made to the government last week by the four GP peak bodies – RDAA, ACRRM, the AMA and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), as well as the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) – to ensure general practice is well placed to continue to provide quality care as the pandemic continues.

“Patients who have contracted Omicron may have experienced milder symptoms but Australia has experienced the highest case numbers seen so far in the pandemic, which is putting significant pressure on all levels of the health system,” RDAA president Dr Megan Belot said.

“Omicron’s impact has also extended significantly to rural and remote areas, impacting on the ability of rural health services to operate at full capacity.

“Telehealth enables patients to still access care, while also providing a layer of protection to other patients and health professionals, by reducing instances of exposure.

“We are very pleased that the government has listened to our concerns, and taken action on this issue following the meeting our organisations had with Ministers Hunt and Gillespie last week.

“This measure will make a significant difference in slowing down the transmission of Omicron and helping to keep rural health services open and adequately staffed.”

New Year, new variant, new way?

That’s why the state government failing to deliver on a promise made in 2020 to bring 4000 new ICU beds into the system is so unacceptable.

We need those beds and that surge capacity, which Labor knows, but fails to address or explain.

The Liberals and Nationals would have ensured we kept an essential promise like that to support our healthcare workers and system.

It’s why the Liberals and Nationals were calling for preparatory action on rapid antigen tests (RATs) in August 2021 and again when they were fully approved by authorities in November.

It’s why it’s so disappointing that Labor responded by labelling our calls a “desperate political stunt” in Parliament. It’s now clear that the Liberals and Nationals were right to call for action on RATs, whereas the state government spun their wheels.

In September, Health Minister Martin Foley promised that the state government would stockpile rapid tests, but they have since been silent on that stockpile. I think it is only fair to assume that the stockpile doesn’t exist – they only ordered RATs on Christmas Eve after three months of sitting on their hands.

Those tests would do so much for our state as Omicron embeds itself in the Victorian community.

The Liberals and Nationals would have ensured that people were not compelled to line up for hours for a PCR test, only to be turned away, or compelled to park their cars in testing lines overnight.

We have needed more testing centres and longer opening hours. We would have put testing and vaccination pop-up sites across holiday hotspots, and we would have opened key testing sites for 24 hours to take pressure off our stretched testing system.

The state government spends millions of your dollars on spin and on advertising themselves.

The Liberals and Nationals would redirect much of that spending to support the health system, to pay for additional healthcare workers, and to raise awareness for people due for their third dose of vaccination.

These may seem like small differences, but they add up to a drastic change to the way we approach the pandemic – with last minute reactionary

decisions under the state government, or with a plan to move forward under the Liberals and Nationals. That’s what I would do differently as Deputy Premier with the Liberals and Nationals.

Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals

People’s model pivotal to success of becoming a republic

IN 1998, I was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention held in Canberra to discuss an Australian republic elected on the ticket of the former Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Clem Jones, who advocated for an Australian head of state directly elected by voters in a national ballot.

After the 10-day Convention – which spent little time considering a model for a republic and too much time on futile monarchy-versus-republic debates – a model sponsored by the Australian Republic Movement emerged that proposed our head of state be chosen by a two-thirds vote of federal parliament.

It failed to secure majority support even among Convention delegates with 73 voting in favour of it, 57 voting against, and 22 abstaining.

It was soon labelled “the politician’s republic” and predictably defeated at the 1999 referendum.

After two decades the ARM has released its “new” model which unfortunately echoes the rejected “politicians’ republic” by offering voters only a pool of candidates chosen for them by federal and state parliaments.

Once again it has already been dismissed in predictable attacks by constitutional monarchists with one reported as saying the ARM model gives Australians “no choice” over their head of state “as only politicians will decide on the candidates”.

The Real Republic Australia, which Clem Jones initiated and which since his 2007 death continues campaigning for a genuine directly elected head of state, wants to see as little involvement as possible by politicians in choosing our head of state.

The ARM is entitled to put forward its model, but

they do not have a monopoly on ideas. In coming months the Real Republic Australia will release a discussion paper seeking feedback on our model.

In the end, no pro-republic group should expect to mandate the model put to a referendum. That’s why we want the next federal government to hold a national plebiscite asking Australians if they want a republic and also asking them to choose from a shortlist of models.

Whatever model is chosen in that plebiscite should be the one that goes forward at a future referendum to formally change our Constitution so that we become a republic. In that way the final model we vote on will not belong to the ARM or the Real Republic Australia, it will be the Australian people’s model.

David Muir AM Real Republic Australia chair

Reducing speed limit will add to frustrations

SO the state government thinks that by cutting the speed limit from 110 kms/hr to 80 kms/hr will save lives.

All it will do is make people push motorists’ doing the right thing into going faster so they can break the speed limit. We have a section of road from Longwarry through to Traralgon which is 110 kms/ hr except for a couple of towns which are 60 and 80.

All reducing the speed limit will do is cause frustration and make people try to go faster.

The best way to stop people speeding and therefore stop people dying on our roads is a good police presence.

We are probably the only state which doesn’t tell people where speed cameras are, and to me, that’s a good move.

Premier, if you want to stop people dying on our roads, put more police out there, and put less police behind desks, reducing the speed limit will only cause more frustration, and potentially more serious injuries and deaths on our roads, some of which are nothing short of atrocious in condition.

Garry Mitchell, Yallourn North

THE start of 2022 marks the beginning of a third calendar year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the less severe Omicron variant taking over from previous variants, Victorians are vaccinated, and it is time for governments to find a new way forward.

People in the community often ask me what I would do differently if I was Deputy Premier.

The fact is that there has been crucial things overlooked by the state government.

While in isolation they may seem small, these overlooked strategies would have had a huge impact on our healthcare system and taken some stress and pressure off our front-line workers.

As the Omicron variant sweeps across Victoria, we are all feeling the impacts of the virus and the state government’s response – whether that be someone we know becoming unwell, limited stock on the shelf, newly imposed buying limits, or our local shop or café being closed because of staff being exposed or isolating.

This is despite Victorians rising to the task and achieving world leading vaccination rates amidst the world’s longest and most heartbreaking lockdowns.

We’re now taking up third doses with similar enthusiasm to keep ourselves and our communities as safe as possible.

We were promised that we would get our lives back if we got vaccinated. We’ve gotten vaccinated, and governments should be holding up their end of the bargain.

They have had two years to prepare the system for the inevitable surge in cases. They have had plenty of time to put us in the best position to trust our safe and effective vaccines.

All governments have an obligation to prepare communities for the future. That’s never more important than for a crisis such as this COVID-19 pandemic.

As a community we need a strong, reliable healthcare system to support us while we transition to living our lives with COVID. Our healthcare workers have done a remarkable job over the last two years, and I am confident they will continue to do their best.

Harriers are back

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By BARRY HIGGINS

THE Harriers returned for their first weekly run last Thursday (January 13) after the Christmas break, running the 5km Water Tower Run from the clubrooms, along Ashworth Drive, Traralgon and return.

Despite the warm and humid conditions the large field produced some excellent running and walking times.

“Didn’t those three weeks fly by!

Welcome back to all and I hope everyone had a wonderful break, spent with family and friends, doing the things you enjoy doing,” president Phill Mayer said.

“The Xmas Bash and Presentation Night was a huge success. Over 90 members and friends joined together for the 'selfie' novelty run, followed by wonderful catering, drinks and presentations. How wonderful to see club members enjoying themselves, having conversations, laughing and sharing a drink or two. It was magnificent to see the different demographics from the club celebrating together. It’s wonderful for us to be using the updated clubrooms which provide a great atmosphere and privacy.”

Before Christmas about 30 runners also enjoyed an informal Christmas Lights Run organised by club member Alysha Duncan.

It was a great fun group which ran at a leisurely pace and was a nice way to see the creative efforts people had put into their decorations to celebrate this time of year.

“The last two years have obviously been a challenge for everyone in many ways, trying to make sure

Family fun: Harriers’ president Phill Mayer and daughter Kate crossed the finish line together last Thursday. photograph supplied the club has stayed relevant and supportive to members which has been, at times, demanding, but also rewarding,” Mayer said.

“I am cautiously optimistic for 2022 and we will be monitoring the situation with COVID. The number of cases and rapid spread of the current variant is cause for concern and club members health is our priority. We’ll be adhering to government directives and health advice, and as I’ve said many times, this virus isn’t over yet, but the club will persevere despite the hurdles.”

With no weekly events over Christmas, Harrier members took part in organised runs further from home.

On New Year’s Eve club coach Greg Semmler enjoyed the Victorian Road Runners Fun Run around Melbourne’s legendary Tan circuit,

placing outright second for the 8km distance.

He clocked his fastest time up the notorious Anderson Street hill.

“Obviously on the first lap,” he said.

On January 8, a small number of Harrier members and friends enjoyed the Portsea Twilight Run through the Point Nepean National Park, with stunning views of Bass Strait on one side and Port Phillip on the other.

Corey Milner finished outright third on the 8km course and was first in his age group.

Tomorrow’s 5km event is at Lake Hyland, Churchill, starting from Mackeys Road with staggered starts from 5.50pm.

An informal club dinner will be held at the Churchill Hotel after the run.

THIS Saturday will see Traralgon Rovers Cricket Club stalwart and life member Simon Duff play his 200th A Grade game for the club, becoming only the second Rovers player to do so behind club legend David Little.

In what’s becoming rare to see in these times, Duff has been a one club player, starting off at Rovers as a stocky nine-year-old kid back in the mid 90s.

He broke into the senior ranks in the 1998/99 season making his debut in C Grade, quickly moving into B Grade then sliding into A Grade for his first game in season 2000/01.

Duff started out as a wicketkeeper/batsman, to date making over 3200 runs with the bat and taking 158 catches/28 stumpings with the gloves.

In 2012, he took on the role as A Grade captain, leading the team for two seasons.

Over the last few years he has turned his attention to becoming a left arm off-spin bowler, thanks in part to current captain Dougal Williams allowing him to bowl in matches.

One of his previous captains, cricket legend Peter Ingwersen, was laughingly once quoted “I’ll never let him bowl in an A Grade side as long as I’m captain!”

There might be a bit of egg on his face now as Duff has 76 A Grade wickets to his name, 44 of those coming in the past two and a half seasons.

Top effort: Simon Duff will play his 200 A Grade match for Rovers this weekend.

At the Christmas break, Duff was leading the league in A Grade for wickets taken, arguably putting him up there as one of the TDCA's top spin bowlers of late.

During his time at Rovers Duff has had many achievements. He is a two-time A Grade Champion, won nine batting awards, three bowling awards and seven other club awards.

A big highlight was being awarded a life membership at the conclusion of the 2015/16 season. Duff has also held various roles at the club - three years as club secretary, two years as treasurer, two years as curator and over 10 years on the general committee.

At the conclusion of the match on Saturday against Imperials at Duncan Cameron Reserve, all past and present players are invited to hang around for a beverage to celebrate Duff's milestone and tell a story or two.

GCL pulls up stumps on competition CRICKET GCL

ALL Gippsland Cricket League competition has ceased for the 2021/22 season.

The Gippsland Cricket Region 7 Board held a virtual meeting on Thursday, January 13 to consider the continuation of competitions in the GCL amid the lingering

COVID cloud, and made the determination to cease competition after extensive discussion and board representatives from all six Gippsland cricket associations (Bairnsdale, Latrobe Valley, Leongatha, Sale-Maffra, Traralgon and Warragul) recommended that the Gippsland Cricket Region 7 executive make a determination.

Consequently, there will be no premierships awarded or any player awards for season 2021/22.

DIVISION 1 NEWBOROUGH and Traralgon were all set to play under lights at Newborough on Friday night before the storm which had been threatening with ferocious thunder and lightning unleashed an enormous downpour flooding the green and entering the clubrooms.

A swift decision was made to transfer the game to Traralgon where play could occur in the indoor centre.

The change in venue suited the home team with Matt Ferrari and his team of Kirsty Van den Hoff, Kevin Enguell and Ian Kirkup showing the way with a 40-12 win over Nosha Michaels and his rink of Bob Goldie, Jo-Anne Michaels and George Lambos.

James Scullin with his rink of Ron Sherlock, Pat Trewin and Damien Barnes had a 34-20 win over Tommy Lodge and his team of Barry Daley, John Backman and Craig Thornton.

To complete the clean sweep, Vin McIlwain and his team of Shane Chapman, Abe Roeder and Chris Ward were too good for Alan Grubb and his team of Josh Kennedy, Tony Knipping and Scott Jones, winning 23-17.

Traralgon 18-119 defeated Newborough 0-70.

Moe welcomed Traralgon RSL and gained a much needed win.

Philip century lifts Lions to victory CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

ANDREW Philip once again made sure teammates and opponents of this generation will be telling their grandchildren they played with and against a man who could well end his career as the greatest cricketer to ever play for Moe - if he isn’t already.

Philip scored his second century for the LVDCL Premier A Grade season, making 103 from 137 balls to see the Lions to victory over JeeralangBoolarra by 82 runs at Ted Summerton Reserve.

Not for the first time, Philip was pencilled in to bat at number three but played essentially as an opener as Moe was 1/4 when he strode to the middle.

From there, Philip and Riley Baldi (31) combined for a 68-run partnership.

Chris Robinson also spent some time with Philip, helping himself to 25 in an 88-run stand for the fourth wicket that went virtually to the end of the 50 over allotment.

Philip brought up his ton in the 48th over and the Lions ended at compulsory close a short time later at 5/193.

Stan Urbanic took 2/33 for Jeeralang-Boolarra.

The Panthers never really got going in reply, and were denied by some work of biblical proportions

by Clinton Taylor, who’s day in the field netted 3/10 off nine overs with four maidens, as well as a run out.

Fittingly, the man known as ‘The Reverend’ saw that Moe’s prayers of early wickets were answered, as his first scalp came with the score on one and the second on 24.

Fellow opening bowler Robert Blunt joined the party soon after, taking a pair of wickets himself.

Before too long the Panthers were staring their fate in the face at 6/32, with all six wickets coming thanks to the hands of Blunt and Taylor.

Things didn’t improve much for JeeralangBoolarra, who slumped to 8/51.

Some late hitting from Matt McGrath, who made 36 not out off 44 balls got the overall score into triple figures, but the Panthers were eventually bowled out for 111 inside 40 overs.

Taylor and Blunt proved an effective partnership, taking five wickets and bowling seven maidens between them, with Blunt’s figures reading 2/23.

Ash Savige backed up the work of the new ball operators, taking 2/12.

CATS had a win for insurance purposes against Raiders.

While the result might just add another tally in the W column for now, it could help fifth placed CATS in making sure games in three week’s time do not all of a sudden become ‘must win’ matches to keep their finals hopes alive.

CATS compiled 186 batting first at John Black Oval after being asked to have a hit.

Tinashe Panyangara proved the backbone of the innings, making an aggressive 84 from 85 balls.

The Zimbabwean sent five sixes over the fence in his 104 minute stay, and amazingly, when he was dismissed with the score 6/130, only 46 other runs had come from either teammates or extras.

Raiders wrestled back some control after the Panyangara onslaught. Wickets were shared between Liam Maynard, Brayden Hickey and Madura Perera.

The Raiders innings started innocuously enough, with the visitors losing only two wickets up to the first drinks break.

However, the dismissal of skipper Maynard with the score 2/44 triggered a dramatic middle order collapse. Maynard became Panyangara’s second wicket, and then Tim Hutchinson and Mick Higgins were dismissed within six balls of each other to see the score 5/57.

The situation only got worse for Raiders, as young CATS spinner Harry Cooper took the key wickets of Higgins and Perera before tearing through the lower order on the way to his maiden A Grade five wicket haul.

At 8/66 the contest was as good as gone, but Hickey provided some late fireworks for Raiders making an unbeaten 20-ball 32 to get the final score to 114. Cooper took 5/52 and Panyangara completed an exceptional day taking 3/19.

MORWELL crushed Mirboo North.

The city Tigers showed no mercy for their country namesakes, winning by 245 runs.

A Nasser Hussain moment at the toss backfired spectacularly for Mirboo North, as Morwell compiled 5/277 after being sent in.

Runs came at will, with Blair Clymo, Connor Seymour, Sam Mooney and Jordan Campbell all cashing in.

Clymo led the scoring, making 81 after being shuffled down from opening to number five, while Seymour compiled a mature 57.

The innings of Seymour was noteworthy as he is still eligible for Under-16 level and looks to be a player for the future. He added 110 with Clymo for the third wicket, while Mooney made 46 off 61 balls and returning captain Campbell ended the innings in ablaze with 34 off 19.

There wasn’t much joy for the Mirboo North bowlers, although Logan Anders finished with three wickets.

The batting effort for Mirboo North turned into an absolute train wreck, as it appeared they were

Travis Pickering produced a breathtaking display with the new ball, nabbing the first five wickets to see the home side on its knees at 5/17.

Morwell did not let up, with the fall of Mirboo North wickets then reading 6/19, 7/22, 8/25, 9/32 and eventually all out for 32 inside 22 overs.

Only one Mirboo North batsman managed double figures, while extras second top scored.

Pickering returned the extraordinary figures of 5/5 off 10 overs with six maidens, his second five-wicket haul of the season.

LATROBE made an emphatic statement against Churchill.

Playing at the neutral venue of Morwell Recreation Reserve, the Sharks won by seven wickets after routing the Cobras for just 69.

Page 40 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 19 January, 2022

Latrobe got to work after signalling their desire to have a bowl, and struck at regular intervals thanks to the efforts of club legend Anthony Bloomfield.

Bloomfield took three of the first four wickets to see Churchill reeling at 4/22.

Wild scenes erupted when the left armer found the edge of John Keighran’s bat into the prying gloves of Adam Duncan for a fourth ball globe, sending the Churchill dugout into a state of shock.

Izayah Terrick made further inroads for Latrobe, taking three wickets, along with Navin Gomez who took two as Churchill lost their last six wickets for 18 runs. Terrick took 3/9 and Gomez 2/18, but it was Bloomfield who was the most superb, nabbing 3/11 from eight overs with six maidens.

The Sharks got the required runs with minimal fuss, and made the short trip home to Peter Siddle Oval even sweeter after securing the bonus point.

Latrobe 142 defeated Rawson 116 (individual score details unavailable).

Captain Benn Zomer top scored with 27 not out.

Lion-hearted Churchill opening bowler Ryan Harvey (2/13) bent his back as always.

CENTRALS was the only team to record what could be described as a ‘regulation’ win.

The Lions successfully chased the 150 set by Traralgon West at Jack Canavan Oval.

A familiar face greeted Centrals bowler Marc Fenech for the first over of the game, with Traralgon West captain Rob Wilkie coming up against his old team.

Fenech got bragging rights for the first encounter, trapping Wilkie in front early to see the Eagles slip to 2/16 following an earlier breakthrough by Lions captain/coach Rob Webber.

Traralgon West was teetering at 4/50, before a 51 run stand between Josh Monacella and Ben Edebohls took the score forward.

Wickets fell at a steady rate around Monacella after Edebohls departed, but the youngster played with a calm head to see his side to a 150 score, and himself to a career-high innings of 81 not out.

Corey Pollard took 3/39 for Centrals, supporting the work of Fenech (2/14) and Webber (2/20).

Monacella was in the game early with the wicket keeping gloves when the Eagles went out to defend their score, taking a sky ball off the bowling of Brenton Howe to see the back of Wayne Henry.

South African Reghard Hefer played a busy hand of 30 from 37 balls, before Traralgon West was able to create an opening.

Tye Hourigan cooled proceedings following that period of madness, batting through the rest of the innings to make 48 not out from 86 balls.

He and Lachlan Patterson put on a winning partnership of 47 for the sixth wicket, with Patterson again showing he is an underrated batsman, scoring 28 from 21 balls wth two sixes.

Thow took 2/37 for Traralgon West and Howe was miserly, taking 1/19 from nine overs.

TRAFALGAR had the bye.

TOONGABBIE v YARRAM & DISTRICT Yarram & District Innings

Leading the way: Nat Campbell top scored with 63 for Gormandale in the win against Rovers.

photograph liam durkin

Toongabbie and Yarram & District at Roger Ries Oval.

Yarram won the toss and batted, but Daniel O’Keefe was dismissed for a duck which would have had the Pelicans worried.

Luckily Brett Pedlow was back in A Grade and together with Anthony Scott put on 94 for the second wicket until Scott was out for 54.

Pedlow was the next to fall for a well-made 53 himself, but then it was the same old story for Yarram who lost wickets consistently over the next 25 overs with only Jarryd Swift showing resistance with 34.

Yarram ended up all out in the 45th over for 170, but again would be ruing some chances and thinking they had left a few runs out on the field.

Keenan Hughes was brilliant for Toongabbie as he took 3/23, but it was Sam Moran who turned the match taking 3/47 picking up the big wickets of Scott and Dylan Rash.

Toongabbie also got off to a shaky start with Michael Dunn being dismissed for one.

Rob Wheildon and Jason Veneman batted well, but couldn’t get big scores and then Tim Dunn chimed in with a dogged 19.

James Chalmers then strutted in to bat at five after demanding to bat higher in the second part of the season after all the hype about him from before Christmas.

It wasn’t to be though as he could only muster five, but his departure brought in Kev Stoddart, who turned the match the way of Toongabbie once more and was able to see his team home smashing a well-made 59 not out from 62 balls which included 10 fours.

Both Scott and Jarryd Swift took two wickets for the Pelicans but the lack of penetration through the middle overs was what cost them the match.

Imperials v Glengarry IN the final match of round, Glengarry took on Imperials at Catterick Crescent with Glengarry winning the toss and batting first.

Frank Marks didn’t get a start which brought in Nat Freitag who batted well with Al Jenkin until he was dismissed for 30.

This then saw Sam Marks and Hamish Busk come and go with the score on 4/65 as the Magpie batsmen struggled with the slower wicket Catterick produces.

This brought Paul Henry to the crease and together with Freitag put on a 120-run partnership until Freitag fell just eight runs short of making back-to-back hundreds this season.Henry then guided the score to be 5/195 after 50 overs, making 40 not out in the process.

Brad Sizeland and Ross Williams were again brilliant for Imperials both taking two wickets each.

This was to be a farewell to a champion as Brett Chapman was playing his last match for Imperials before moving interstate and it wasn’t long before he was striding to the middle as Brad Sizeland was bog castled by Cam Graham for eight.

Chapman then threw caution to the wind and in partnership with captain Ryan Morley put on 77 with Chapman making 55 of them.

Chapman's innings included five fours and two sixes as he reminded everyone just how good a player he is and has been for Imperials.

Morley then fell soon after and Imperials then fell quickly, ending up all out for 136 from 37.3 overs.

Glengarry are a well-rounded team and again had multiple wicket-takers with the best being Al Jenkin, who took 3/34. Frank Marks and Hamish Busk each took two as well with Freitag, Graham and Mayberry taking the other three.

Rovers and Imps to square-off CRICKET TDCA ROUND 9 PREVIEW

ROVERS will take on Imperials in the match to watch for the round.

Last time they met Imperials landed a massive upset win which hurt the young Rovers side a lot and did not get their season off to the start they wanted.

Rovers however have improved every week, while only having one win on the board, they are having very close matches as they post half decent scores to defend, unlike previous seasons.

But at the end of the day, it comes down to experience and how well the young side can handle the pressure while Imperials have two wins under their belt, beating Gormandale as well as Rovers.

Rovers will not go down without a fight and will definitely want to get revenge on Imperials, to keep their finals hopes alive.

Simon Duff will also be playing his 200th game for Rovers, so there is no doubt Rovers will want to make this one to remember.

One to watch: Darion Duncan, an up and coming all-rounder for Rovers, who is having some success with both bat and ball.

Prediction: Rovers will get over the line with the home ground advantage and pure passion to win the game, a result which will keep their finals hopes alive.

AFTER some wild storms threatened Round 8 on Friday, the TDCA was greeted with great conditions for cricket.

Even after wickets had to sit under covers all day on the eve of the matches, it’s evident that wickets and grounds are both turning into batting paradises, so let's hope for plenty of runs being scored from here on out.

IN a battle of the cellar dwellers, Gormandale pulled off a fantastic victory at home against Rovers in a match which ebbed and flowed right up until the winning runs were scored.

Rovers batted first and were shocked right out of the gate as Kade Marsh was dismissed for a duck off the first ball of the innings.

There is some conjecture as to what the official name of that specific duck is as some refer to it as a ruby while other call it a royal, either way it isn’t something any opening batsman wants accredited to them.

Ewan Williams then joined Tyler Pearce as the partnership put together a 40-run partnership, but Rovers quickly found themselves on 4/40 with Ewan Williams, Dougal Williams and Tyler Pearce all departing.

Darion Duncan and Conner Little then swung the momentum around putting on 60 to get the score going along and the tail also wagged as well for Rovers with three players getting into double figures from the bottom five, which is something that hasn’t happened this season.

After being in a precarious position Rovers ended up 171 all out from 45 overs with Duncan the standout with a well-made 45.

Luke Henderson and Adam Brady were very good for Gormandale, both claiming three wickets each while Dylan Freitag chimed in with a Richie Benaud (2/22).

Gormandale's batting has been brittle at best this season and with a top score of 157, it was always going to be a tough run chase for the Tigers.

Things didn’t get easier when Paul Roberts was dismissed for three and then Matt Hibbs followed soon after for just two.

Staring doom in the face, Chris Lehner then joined Nat Campbell in the middle and went on to make an 80-run partnership, evening the ledger.

At 102, Campbell was run out for a hard-hitting 63 and Lehner was then stumped for 18, which swayed the game back into Rovers favour.

Gormandale's middle order then got to work, taking their time and making sure they gave themselves every chance to win.

The game progressed slowly and eventually the Tigers were squeezed to needing 10 runs in 12 balls with two wickets in hand.

Looking for a hero, Adam Brady stood tall and with ice water in his veins managed to get the runs and put an exclamation mark on the game by hitting a four to win the match with seven balls to go.

Rovers bowlers did all they could and shared the wickets around with Dougal Williams the pick after claiming 2/29.

TDCA SCOREBOARD

Ex Students v Glengarry

Gormandale v Toongabbie

LAST time Ex Students and Glengarry met, Glengarry got over the line comfortably.

This was thanks to some incredible batting by Frank Marks hitting 75 and Hamish Busk making 47 as well as a great all-round bowling performance from Glengarry, as Cam Graham, Hamish Busk, and Sam Marks all picked up two wickets, while captain Nat Freitag picked up 3/15 off seven overs.

Freitag is in great form at the moment, coming just eight runs away from back-to-back centuries.

Ex Students, however, have not played a game since December 18 after their first match was abandoned after Christmas and the bye last round.

They will be wanting to secure the win this week, and take top position on the ladder, in order to set themselves up for finals, as top position on the ladder is the best spot to be.

No batter for Ex Students has scored more than 100 runs except captain Lee Stockdale.

So, Ex Students will need to lift their batting game if they are going to have a chance at winning this weekend.

GORMANDALE, coming off their first win of the season against Rovers, will be ready and raring for the weekend.

Nat Campbell helped Gormandale to get over the line last week, scoring a 63, while Adam Brady and Luke Henderson both picked up three wickets.

Toongabbie is also coming off a great win over Yarram, chasing 170 six wickets down.

Kevin Stoddart coming off 59 not out, will be feeling confident with bat in hand, as he is someone who can hit a very long ball without using much power at all.

Jason Veneman has only played three matches for the season, with one 50 and one good start.

This week would be the best opportunity for him to score some runs against the bowling side of Gormandale.

Left-arm quick Keenan Hughes loves to bowl in uncomfortable areas around the chest and is sure to make someone hurt as Gormandale struggle against quick bowling.

One to watch: Nat Freitag is in great form with the bat, after scoring 218 runs the past two weeks with an average of 109.

Prediction: Glengarry, in sensational form at the moment will get over the line and beat Ex Students for the second time this season.

One to watch: Captain Keenan Hughes will trouble Gormandale and should clean up their top order.

Prediction: Gormandale have the home ground advantage, however, Toongabbie will prove too strong and get the win.

YARRAM and District have the bye.

TENNIS TRARALGON JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International finals are on today.

More than 160 of the world’s best junior tennis players have been taking part in the week-long tournament, which acts as a lead-in to the Australian Open Juniors.

While finalists were not known at the time The Express went to press, one can say with a degree of certainty players who have taken to the courts of Traralgon in the last few days will become household names in the tennis world in years to come.

It has been a hectic few weeks for the Traralgon Tennis Association, who came straight out of hosting the ATP Challenger and ITF Women’s World Tour to host the Junior International.

The Traralgon Tennis Complex has been transformed into what feels like a university campus, such is the array of nationalities walking around, and one cannot help but think “what are they saying?” when coaches and players are heard talking to each other during a match in a language other than English.

While the spoken word might prove a language barrier, the virtues of tennis are being displayed as competitors from different backgrounds are coming together to play a game they all know and love.

The youthful enthusiasm of junior players has

also been a highlight of the tournament, with some doubles partners even overheard planning what type of high five will follow winning a point.

Russian women’s top seed Diana Shnaider was in action during the third round, and defeated Qavia Lopez of the United States, 1-6 6-3 6-3.

Speaking with The Express on Sunday, event organiser Francis Soyer from Tennis Australia said Traralgon had once again put on a great spectacle.

“It has been going well, the international players are settling in after a long trip to Australia and getting through all the arrival protocols ... not easy, but now they have settled in and having a great time in Traralgon,” he said.

“As always Traralgon have a great crew, everyone knows their role and what they need to deliver,

they’ve been a great help, as have council and sponsors.

“There are some promising young players who have had it tough over the last two years of COVID, they haven’t played at a high level very often, especially the Australian players who have been mainly stuck in Australia, so it is great experience for everyone involved getting to play the AO Juniors in this event, which didn’t take place in 2021, it’s a great opportunity for everyone and everyone is excited.”

Winners of today’s final will join esteemed company, which includes Roger Federer and Nick Kyrgios, and take home a famed Traralgon Akubra.

Gippsland Cup attracts soccer aces

SOCCER

By LIAM DURKIN

LOCAL soccer fans will be spoilt for choice when the inaugural Gippsland Cup makes its way to the region later this month.

The tournament will see senior and Under-21 teams from National Premier League club Eastern Lions battle it out against a representative team from the Latrobe Valley Soccer League, Melbourne Victory (NPL 3) and Mornington Soccer Club (State 1).

Eastern Lions has instigated the cup in the hopes of forming a strong partnership with the Latrobe Valley in bringing high quality soccer to the region.

With the NPL just one tier below A League, players in the LVSL team will have the opportunity to get a first-hand look at those who have made it to higher levels.

Starting on Australia Day, the three-day soccer extravaganza will see matches initially played at Eastern Lions home ground in Burwood, before moving to matches at Traralgon City Soccer Club and Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium, Morwell.

LVSL president Allan Roberts said the league was excited to offer its senior players a representative squad that has been sorely missed at league level.

“This tournament is a great opportunity to promote our game leading into the start of our season, and also on the back of the last two seasons that we have missed,” he said.

“We’re excited to partner with Eastern Lions Soccer Club and bring NPL football to Gippsland and allow the Gippsland soccer community to see football at a higher level.

“We’re seeing it (the Gippsland Cup) as a great opportunity to kick-start the league again, kick-start the sport in Gippsland and start building a partnership moving forward.

“It is challenging times coming back from the last two seasons but the more promotion we can put around the sport to bring kids and senior players back the better.

“We hope that this is a start of a productive working relationship between our league and Eastern Lions.”

The Gippsland Cup will provide the LVSL team with a great opportunity to see how they stack up against NPL players - something Roberts said was enticing.

“It will be an interesting challenge for our boys, we haven’t done a lot of senior rep in the last couple of years so to give the players an opportunity in The Valley to play against quality opposition will be great,” he said.

“We’re hoping this is going to be the starting point again of senior rep football in Gippsland.

Football Victoria has made a commitment that they are looking at bringing back senior rep teams for regional Victoria so this is just a perfect opportunity to bring some players together.”

Eastern Lions is sure to provide strong competition for the local side, as it looks to make further waves as an NPL club.

Pictured are Melbourne Victory’s Jackson Lino, LVSL’s Connor O’Hanlon and Eastern Lions captain Ziggy Razuki. photographs liam durkin

Prize: The 2022 Gippsland Cup. The Lions gained promotion to the NPL’s top flight for the first time in its 58-year history at the end of 2019 after winning the Victoria 2 East title.

Lions skipper Ziggy Razuki said the club was looking forward to making the trip down.

“It is a really exciting initiative, any time we get

to go on a bit of a trip and play football in different areas is really cool … it is going to be super exciting to be in Gippsland,” he said.

“It is always a massive bit of team bonding to go away together and to do it out here playing three games in five days against quality opposition against players we know nothing about is going to be awesome from a social, practical and tactical perspective.”

As Razuki explained, the benefits of the tournament could go hand-in-hand in helping identify players that could attract some interest to come and try out for the Lions.

“I think it is one of the greatest things we are doing with things like this - sometimes you just don’t know that players are out there,” he said.

“Before I moved to Eastern Lions I was playing six leagues below just because I was enjoying it, having fun, and then got the opportunity to come through and now I’ve been here nine years … sometimes it is just being in the right place-right time.”

Taking on naming rights sponsorship for the Gippsland Cup will be AGL Loy Yang.

AGL Loy Yang general manager Christo van Niekerk said the company was proud to support the tournament, which will support the growth of soccer across Gippsland.

“Our region is a passionate sporting community and I have no doubt the AGL Loy Yang Gippsland Cup will set the stage for new incredible talent this year,” van Niekerk said.

“After a challenging two years in community sport across the state, we know how important these

events are in bringing together our community and supporting the growth of sport in our region.

“Community sport is more than just a competition between players - it brings a sense of belonging with volunteers, athletes, coaches, families and fans all part of the action.

“We know there will be plenty of people cheering on the sidelines and helping to enable new pathways for our next generation of football stars.

“I want to congratulate the Eastern Lions on launching this tournament in the heart of Gippsland, providing important social and economic benefits to our communities.”

January is well and truly the month for elite sport in Latrobe City, with the Gippsland Cup making up just one of the many codes on show. As well as soccer, the Traralgon International Junior ITF tennis tournament is currently taking place, following the recently concluded ATP Challenger and Women’s ITF. The EnergyAustralia Classic Singles hosted

by Newborough Bowling Club also welcomed professional sportspeople to the area, while the Traralgon Golf Club Pro-Am is set to do the same thing.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said there was so many positives in welcoming another sporting initiative such as the Gippsland Cup. “We are really lucky, quite spoilt for choice in terms of wonderful sporting events here in Latrobe,” she said.

“It is great for our local kids because they get the opportunity to see their heroes and people they aspire to be in relation to sport, it’s something we always welcome, it’s great for the community to be able to get out and about and do things.

“As always, as with this event, if it wasn’t for volunteers in our local community we just wouldn’t be able to do it, so we are really grateful for all the support they give us.”

The Gippsland Cup will start Wednesday, January 26, with the first local match to be played the following night at Traralgon City Soccer Club.
