AGL knocks back $8B surprise takeover bid

Newborough locals Carla Monteleone and Judy Lee are backing calls to reduce speed limits along a part of Old Sale Road.

By MICHELLE SLATER

NEWBOROUGH residents in a rapidly-growing housing estate are pushing for speed limits reductions along a section of Old Sale Road.

Residents had been asking Latrobe City to drop speeds from 80 to 60 kilometres-per-hour between Haigh Street and Becks Bridge Road.

Local mum Carla Monteleone had moved into the estate 18-months ago but fears speeding traffic could

skittle kids playing out the front of houses backing onto the busy road.

Crash history shows there has been one crash resulting in a serious injury on Old Sale Road near Becks Bridge Road in the past five years.

“My main issues are safety. Our neighbours here have kids and if (a driver) lost control coming around the bend it could be fatal,” Ms Monteleone told The Express.

“Is this what it would take for anyone to notice?

When my kids grow up, I don’t want them coming out unsupervised, as I don’t want them to be hit by a car.”

Neighbour Judy Lee called for a roadside barrier to be included in any new safety measures.

“A lowered speed limit would be a great start. A lot of people flatten it along here, motorbikes go crazy and trucks don’t keep to the speed limit,” Ms Lee said.

ENERGY giant AGL knocked back an $8 billion takeover bid from Aussie tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and Canadian funds manager Brookfield on Monday morning.

The unsolicited bid was attempting to acquire 100 per cent of AGL Energy at $7.50 a share in order to fast-track the company’s coal closures and encourage new renewables investments.

AGL received the proposal on Saturday morning, but rejected it on the basis it materially undervalued the company and was not in the best interest of shareholders.

The AGL board stated it remained committed to progressing a proposed demerger to establish two separately-listed businesses – Accel Energy and AGL Australia.

AGL chairman Peter Botten said the board considered the company demerger would deliver “better value for shareholders” than the proposed takeover.

“The proposal does not offer an adequate premium for a change of control and is not in the best interest of AGL Energy shareholder,” Mr Botten said.

“The board believes AGL Energy shareholders would be forgoing the opportunity to realise potential future value via AGL Energy’s proposed demerger as both organisations pursue decisive action on decarbonisation.”

AGL had recently announced it was bringing forward the closure of Loy Yang A to between 2040 and 2045 to meet new climate targets as its coal assets get handed over to Accel in the company split.

The proposed demerger is expected to be finalised by June 30.

Mr Cannon-Brookes is the Sydney-based co-founder and chief executive of Atlassian Software Systems.

Media reports have stated he had intended to put a halt on the AGL demerger plans and speed up its coal closures to 2035.

In pain: Neil Trease and his wife Isabel had to deal with surgeries being repeatedly delayed in the past 12 months. photograph michelle slater delayed appointments can be rescheduled as quickly as possible.

“Ms Bath is dreaming if she thinks Victorians have forgotten what the Liberal-Nationals did to

our health system before they were booted from government in 2014,” the spokesperson said.

“Hospitals were run into the ground with funding cuts, services slashed and staff sacked.”

ALL elective surgery in public and private hospitals can resume by the end of the month as the impact of the Omicron wave continues to subside and stabilise.

It comes as Mirboo North man Neil Trease’s elective surgery was delayed three times before he was operated on late last year at Latrobe Regional Hospital.

“The pain I was in was unbelievable. I was having trouble getting around, I was nearly at the stage I was in two crutches. It was very, very panful,” Mr Trease said.

“The painkillers helped, but I lost my taste completely, the food I loved was gone. I just ate very small meals as I didn’t want to eat. I lost 18 kilos in that short period.”

LRH chief executive officer Don McRae assured locals that the hospital would attempt to get through elective surgery lists as soon as possible, but asked people to be patient in the meantime.

Mr McRae said the LRH elective surgery wait list was sitting at 1250 people, just above its target of 1200.

“We understand people’s frustrations having procedures cancelled, we are trying to get to normal as quickly as possible but we are restricted by our workforce and we can only do what we can do,” Mr McRae said.

“The most sick and in pain will be prioritised. We hope to build up to 75 per cent in the next eight weeks or so. We will ramp-up day quicker than in-patient work.”

Mr McRae said the pandemic continued to impact the hospital’s workforce due to isolation requirements, putting pressure on resourcing.

But Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria is calling on the state government to tackle waiting lists, as state’s Code Brown hospital emergency measures were lifted last week.

Ms Bath described the latest Code Brown as “a smoke and mirrors announcement to deflect attention away from Victoria’s severely under resourced public hospital system”.

“Victorian surgeons and health care professionals have made it clear - they want to get back to work and want their patients to have positive health outcomes and achieve quality of life,” Ms Bath said.

A state government spokesperson said they understood “the difficulties experienced by Victorians who’ve had surgeries postponed”.

The spokesperson said the state government would work across the health system to ensure that

Weimar says neigh to internet medical advice

By MICHELLE SLATER

VICTORIAN COVID Response Commander Jeroen Weimar is imploring locals to steer away from taking medical advice from the internet or social media to treat coronavirus.

Mr Weimar was responding to questions on Federal Member for Monash Russell Broadbent, who told parliament last week that he had been treating his own COVID case with ivermectin.

Ivermectin is most commonly used as a horse wormer, and is not approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration to treat COVID-19.

“I have only one message. If you have COVID, speak to your GP or a clinical expert and let them advise on what’s appropriate. You gotta take medical advice, it’s a significant medical condition,” Mr Weimar said.

“I’m not a clinician, so I’m not going to get into an argument with anyone about what their preferred method of de-wormer is. Speak with your GP.” Mr Broadband – who is not vaccinated – said he had tested positive to COVID on January 21, and had been previously taking a range of vitamins to bolster his immunity under health advice.

The Liberal stalwart said he had access to ivermectin and began taking the substance as soon as he tested positive.

“I had some symptoms, I had a bit of a rough time for a while, three-or-four days. I am not vaccinated,” Mr Broadbent said “I won’t be vaccinated because my view was the risk from being vaccinated was just as high as the risk I was taking from getting the virus itself.

“I made a decision that I wanted to continue in this House, and I had just been through a fairly

major health issue only a few weeks before, so I was fairly vulnerable.”

Mr Broadbent argued that he had made a choice to protect “my body in the way that I wanted to protect it”.

He said that he was not spreading “dangerous conspiracy theories”, or misinformation, particularly after criticism was levelled at him by Rural Doctors Association president Rob Phair.

“I am not a right winger … let alone an extremist. I am an independent thinker. I own no-one and no-one owns me. My parliamentary colleagues know I don’t fit into a box,” Mr Broadbent said.

“I have only ever put forward views of those I represent who cannot be heard otherwise — heartbreaking stories around vaccinations from both health practitioners and patients alike.”

Family’s call for safety barriers

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A PETITION for safety barriers on John Field Drive in Newborough is being headed by the sister of double fatal victim Trent Felici, and the collision’s sole survivor.

William Semple, 19, of Newborough, and Trent Felici, 32, of Moe were tragically killed last year when a Holden sedan collided with a tree on John Field Drive, Newborough on the night of Saturday, November 6.

Now, Brooke Felici and Jamie Kent are calling for safety barriers to be installed along the stretch of road before more people lose their lives.

In the aftermath of her older brother’s death Brooke Felici wants to stop other families from experiencing what they have.

After consulting with her mum, Ms Felici set up the petition ‘Safety Barriers to be installed on John Field Drive’ just a couple of days after the tragic incident.

“I just wanted an action straight away, it was the first thing I could think of doing,” she told The Express.

“No one should have to go through what we went through.

“If there’s a way to prevent it then we will do what we can to stop another family feeling this kind of pain as well.”

Mr Kent, who survived the incident, said he hopes the petition will prompt change as quickly as possible.

“I hope it gets done sooner rather than later to prevent the same thing happening,” he said.

“It was a genuine accident with no fault to anyone – even the car itself. We did the right thing that night ... it was just a pure accident.”

Brooke described her older brother as being a much loved member of the community.

“He was your typical brother. Everyone around the community loved him, he had a big heart. He had a lot of friends,” she said.

Mr Kent remembers Trent as a role model to him and other young people at Monash Soccer Club.

Trent played a significant role in the club whether that be playing himself, watching his mates or coaching his son.

“He was just an incredible mentor and friend to all the team that was around my age,” Jamie said.

“He really helped me mature early, along with a lot of other people there.”

Remember: Tributes were laid by the men’s many friends and family members.

Mr Kent met William when he was very young, also at Monash Soccer Club.

“Will had a beautiful personality and was always family orientated,” Mr Kent said.

“He was a great friend to many and a great young soccer player.”

Mr Kent said he is taking each day as it comes in the aftermath of the collision, and expressed that the journey hasn’t been easy.

“I’m just trying to live with it, and try to ease some of the pain that is still there ... it’s going to be there forever,” he said.

“It’s just hard to talk about it ... there’s really no words.”

The collision is still under investigation by Victoria Police.

However, Senior Sergeant Jason Hullick, of Divisional Road Policing, said police support safety barriers along John Field Drive, providing

it is a recommendation made by relevant parties involved.

“This tragic collision in November last year, which ended the lives of two young men, has sent shock waves through the community, including the police community,” Sgt Hullick said.

“This incident is still being investigated, and in consultation with our road safety partners police are continuing to assess the area to see what safety upgrades can be made.

“Victoria Police would support the decision to install safety barriers along John Field Drive at Newborough should that be a recommendation by the relevant road safety engineers, as we would support the decision to improve the safety of any road across the state,” he said.

Sgt Hullick said Victoria Police are in regular consultation with Regional Roads Victoria and VicRoads about road safety within the region, particularly when a fatal incident has occurred.

“The community can rest assured, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to investigating devastating fatal crashes because we are absolutely committed to maintaining the safety of all road users in our region,” he said.

Department of Transport’s acting regional director Henry Lam said they would not be able to provide further comment on the issue until findings of police and coronial investigations wrap up.

“The loss of any life on our roads is tragic. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to those impacted by this crash,” he said.

“The Department of Transport is working closely with police as they investigate this tragic incident.

We will await the findings of police and coronial investigations before commenting further.”

Ms Felici and Mr Kent are asking people to show support for their petition, which can be accessed through the link below. They want to thank those who have supported them so far and everyone who has already signed the petition, which has almost reached 5000 signatures.

“There’s been a lot of support from the community for both Will and Trent,” Ms Felici said.

“Everyone just wants a safer environment for everyone, because if it can happen to two really good families ... then they look at their own backyard and think ‘it can happen to mine’.”

VicForests’ performance gets tick of approval

By PHILIP HOPKINS

VICFORESTS’ environmental performance has been given a big tick, the latest independent audit finding that the state forestry agency conformed with 95 per cent of the required criteria for timber harvesting.

The 2019-20 audit, commissioned by the Department of Land, Water and Planning, investigated 30 VicForest coupes, of which 15 were in the Central Highlands.

Three of these were located in Melbourne Water catchment areas.

The Central Highlands is the source of quality native forest timber for sawmills in West and Central Gippsland, including the Latrobe Valley, and the Yarra Valley.

The level of full conformance for individual coupes ranged between 80 per cent and 100 per cent.

The average level of full conformance varied across audit themes.

These included:  Environment – protection of forest soils 96 per cent, protection of water flows, water quality

and river health 96 per cent, and protection of biodiversity values 98 per cent.  Infrastructure compliance 88 per cent.  Roading – design 81 per cent, construction 85 per cent and maintenance and closure 96 per cent.  Coupe planning compliance 96 per cent.

Audits of individual harvest coupes considered up to 146 compliance criteria.

These were based on the legal requirements of the Code of Practice for Timber Production and management standards for timber harvesting.

The auditor is accredited by the Environment Protection Authority.

Selection of coupes was randomised, the audit found, but was weighted towards coupes with higher risk features, including waterway crossings, long in-coupe roads, steep slopes, more erosive soils, records of presence of rainforest vegetation and threatened flora and/or fauna.

Some incidents, such as inappropriately built waterway crossings, were assessed against several criteria.

A total of 27 individual incidents were observed in the audit, of which 26 were detected in coupes in

the Central Highlands, which are more intensively managed.

One incident was assessed to have major potential environmental impact – the incursion of a regeneration burn into a Leadbeater’s Possum Special Protection Zone (SPZ) that was intended to be left unburnt. The 26 non-conformances with moderate potential environmental impact related to various incidents.

These included construction of an in-coupe road waterway crossing with a culvert outlet that was elevated above the downstream bed of the temporary stream, excessive lengths of an in-coupe road draining directly into waterway crossings, and construction of a long length in-coupe road without any cross-drainage features.

Also, a tree in a Leadbeater’s Possum SPZ was accidently felled. VicForests said in a statement that the results were testament to the hard work and care of its staff.

“As a result of the 2019-20 audit, we will continue to increase our focus on improving road design, road construction and infrastructure in our harvesting operations,” the state forestry agency said.

Push is on to cut the limit Continued from page 1

Latrobe City Council has agreed to take the issue up with the Department of Transport which manages Old Sale Road.

Latrobe City councillor Sharon Gibson said the growing estate had only one entry road which made it dangerous to get in-and-out.

“This is all about the safety of the new subdivision and also the older residents who may have been there for a while on the other side of the road,” Cr Gibson said.

“They’ve been trying to have this come through for so long but the problems just keep exacerbating with the amount of sub-dividing going on and the amount of traffic in this section.”

The Department of Transport assesses speed limits on a case-by-case basis, considering types of road users, traffic volume, crash risk, community sentiments and environment.

Department of Transport Gippsland region acting director Henry Lam said they would work with Latrobe City to better understand the timelines of future developments along that road section.

Mr Lam said this would include providing technical support to council over access and intersection treatments.

“Our number one priority is to keep everyone on our roads safe,” Mr Lam said.

“We carefully consider speed limits to ensure any proposed changes are consistent, safe and appropriate for all road users and the road environment.”

Contract awarded to replace bridge

THE state government has awarded contracts to start replacing the ageing Latrobe River Bridge, with work expected to start in April.

Specialist infrastructure engineering company SRG Global Civil Pty Ltd has been awarded the $10.5 million contract to replace the bridge and associated work on Tyers Road.

Regional Roads Victoria acting regional director Henry Lam said the Latrobe River Bridge was a vital link for Gippslanders, and works would improve safety and access.

“We understand how significant this connection is between Traralgon and Tyers, not just for local drivers and cyclists, but as a busy school bus and freight route that contributes to the Gippsland economy,” Mr Lam said.

“We look forward to working with SRG Global Civil Pty Ltd to deliver this project for the Gippsland community.”

The 85-year-old bridge will be replaced with a new 63-metre-long, three-span reinforced concrete bridge over the Latrobe River on the west side of the existing structure.

Sections of the road on either side will be realigned to remove some sharp curves, providing sealed shoulders wide enough for broken-down vehicles, cyclists and safety barriers.

The new bridge will allow the existing 30-tonne load restriction over the river crossing to be lifted, enabling larger trucks and B-doubles.

Regional Roads Victoria has been collecting Strzelecki Gum seeds from the worksite, and will plant 900 of the species near the area.

The agency is also donating 950 young plants to the Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network and approximately 2000 young plants to the Boolarra Landcare Group.

A ton of reasons to celebrate

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Milestone: Celina and Joseph Kaczkowski celebrated his 100th birthday.

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

JOSEPH Kaczkowski celebrated his 100th birthday on Friday, February 18.

The Morwell resident and his wife Celina attended a gathering Gippsland Multicultural Services (GMS) hosted to celebrate the major milestone.

GMS pulled out all the stops to make sure Joseph’s birthday was a very special one.

There were birthday banners and streamers strung from the walls, and brightly colour balloons bobbing in the air.

In the corner of the room, Joseph and Celine sat together, enjoying cups of tea and biscuits.

The couple have been members of the Polish community group at GMS for nearly 30 years and said they have developed many good friendships with other members over the years.

One of five siblings, Joseph was born in Poland in 1922.

While he was in Poland, he met his wife Celina, and they eventually married.

Celina and Joseph met in 1948 and have been married for 73 years.

They are still seen often enjoying a laugh together today.

In 1962, Joseph migrated to Australia, and Celina followed the year after.

They ended up having four children.

Now, the pair have a very large family - 20 grandchildren and one great great grandchild.

The couple got together with their family to have a party of their own on Friday.

Joseph said he was excited to be turning 100, and enjoyed his celebration with his wife by his side.

Celina said her husband is doing “good for his age”, still enjoys walks and raking the leaves up at their home.

GMS chief executive officer Tania Ryan was glad to attend the important celebration.

“Joe and Celina have been really longstanding members,” she said.

“He’s very much loved ... and he’s a beautiful man.”

The Polish community is very important for its members, Ms Ryan explained.

Members of the group are able to connect with other people who speak Polish and have a shared understanding of their culture.

Local MPs among those fined for mask breach

By MICHELLE SLATER

TWO Gippsland state Coalition MPs were among five Nationals and Liberals who were fined for breaching the state’s mask rules while inside Parliament House in the first sitting week for the year.

The group included Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath, Member for Narracan Gary Blackwood, Liberal Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, Nationals leader Peter Walsh and shadow treasurer David Davis.

The MPs were photographed without masks while attending an address at parliament being delivered by AFL great Kevin Sheedy.

Victoria police issued the group fines of $100 each for breaking mask rules.

Commander urges region’s residents to get your booster VICTORIAN COVID Response Commander Jeroen Weimar is urging locals to get their third-dose vaccinations leading into the colder months to mitigate any future strains hitting Australia.

Mr Weimar was in Morwell today meeting with Gippsland Multicultural Service members and Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Corporation as well as local public health officials.

He said there were 6000 available third vaccine appointments in Gippsland, with 53 per cent of the state already jabbed with three doses.

Regional Victorian third-dose rates remain on par with the state’s average, with a near 50 per cent uptake.

“As summer winds to a close, we have to start turning our minds towards autumn and winter and get ready for what we suspect will be other strains of COVID hitting our shores at some time in coming months,” Mr Weimar said.

“It’s really important for all of us to get ready for this and get our third-dose vaccines. Our vaccine program is our most important defence for all of us and I’d really like to see triple dose vaccinations before we get into the depth of autumn and winter.”

Mr Weimar’s visit coincided with a further easing of restrictions, including opening up density limits and dancefloors in hospitality venues, and scrapping QR codes in certain settings.

He also flagged there could be a further easing mask rules in indoor settings, with future announcements to be made on this.

Mr Weimar commended residents for abiding by the rules and taking individual action, which had a “massive impact” on reducing cases, particularly in the wake of the January outbreak.

“There is evidence in the international community that we should expect to see waves of COVID-19 emerge in the weeks and months ahead,” he said.

“What we saw was when Omicron hit Australia at the same time as the rest of the world, we had to adjust our response in real-time.

“We need to work with the international community to see how we best adjust and prepare for future COVID variants.”

- MICHELLE SLATER

Liberals cooperated with Victoria Police in relation to this matter and accordingly the fines will be paid promptly,” Ms Bath told The Express.

“I will continue to advocate for sensible restrictions that includes the removal of face mask mandates in low-risk settings and the scraping of unnecessary QR Codes, so we can begin to recover, rebuild and move forward.”

Mr Blackwood said “rules are rules, even if we don’t agree with them”.

“Happy to pay the fine with my own money and not use taxpayers’ as Labor did with their Red Shirts rorts,” Mr Blackwood said.

Masks are still required to be worn inside indoor workplaces including parliament, but can be removed for eating or drinking, or rising to speak in the chamber.

It is understood some of the MPs were drinking coffee at the time, but removed the masks for a photo with the footy legend.

Mr Guy told the media last week that mask rules were too confusing and should no longer be required in low-risk indoor settings.

Liveability of our towns pivotal

By MICHELLE SLATER

A YALLOURN North community advocate has told a Parliamentary Inquiry committee about the importance of creating liveability in local towns heading into the power station closure.

Anthony Wasiukiewicz pointed out a raft of long-standing projects which would encourage people stay in the Valley and create jobs outside the power sector.

He also called for the community to be included in discussions about compensation in Yallourn North as part of any closure packages when the power station is retired in 2028.

“My interest is less so for the power station worker, and more so for Joe Bloggs average resident who continually misses out on opportunities that we could otherwise assist with,” Mr Wasiukiewicz said.

“Firstly we must understand that Latrobe Valley

is a two speed economy. It consists of well-paid power station workers. But there are short-term workers which form part of that. And then there are the rest of us.”

Mr Wasiukiewicz spoke of a list of issues in Yallourn North which would create a raft of jobs for locals including in maintenance, fabrication or engineering. He cited a lack of reliable internet, the need to build connecting tracks, revamping the town’s bus shelter, town hall, pool, poor drainage, and removing invasive weeds in public spaces and roadsides.

“There’s the opportunity for jobs all around us,” Mr Wasiukiewicz said.

“Yet for the 12 years in my presence, these employment opportunities for locals are continually being overlooked, and unheard by the bodies that are well paid by us to provide high quality services and infrastructure.”

Mr Wasiukiewicz also criticised Latrobe Valley Authority procurements, in which funding was approved for Latrobe City Council to purchase play equipment imported from Finland.

Council received more than $236,000 in LVA funding for play equipment, landscaping, picnic and park seating and a pathway connecting features at the Moe Botanic Gardens.

“This was poor oversight by the LVA and other bodies that thought it was appropriate to source play equipment from Finland,” he said.

Latrobe City chief executive officer Steven Piasente said play equipment must meet strict safety standards, and there was a limited pool of suppliers in Australia with none in Gippsland.

“Other aspects of the project used local suppliers and contractors where possible and practical. Landscape planting was also completed

by Latrobe City’s Bush Crew,” he said.

Valley at heart of renewable precinct plan THE Latrobe Valley has been earmarked as one of 14 sites to develop a Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts, according to the latest modelling from think tank Beyond Zero Emissions.

BZE head of policy and research Tom Quinn outlined the plan last week at a Parliamentary Inquiry hearing into the Closure of the Hazelwood and Yallourn Power Stations.

A REIP would encourage high-energy intensive industries to link into renewable energy zones being established by the state government.

Mr Quinn said this could include decarbonised food processing through electrification and the use of modern, energy efficient technologies such as heat pumps.

Other sectors could encourage investments in zero-emissions mineral processing or components manufacturing.

Mr Quinn said an REIP could take advantage of the region’s existing advantages such as its transmission, skilled workforce and access to ample offshore wind and the planned Marinus Link.

“The electrification of the food processing industry

Mr Davey said renewables could become part of the energy mix alongside hydrogen.

“Coal doesn’t cause emissions, it’s how you use coal. If you don’t burn it, it won’t cause emissions, even if you use it to make hydrogen with CCS,” Mr Davey said.

“To create this future will not be easy, but ignoring the state’s largest and most valuable natural resource on ideological grounds risks the future prosperity of the region and the state.”

But Mr Davey warned that there was no time to delay in order to transition the region heading into impending coal-fired power station closures.

“The time to commence this investment was four years ago when the decision to shut down Hazelwood was made. The next best time is now,” he said.

“Any significant delay in the implementation of the transition process will see this skill base evaporate and the region will lose one of its key competitive advantages.”

- MICHELLE SLATER

can also lead to potential flow-on benefits such as the development of a thriving industrial heat pump manufacturing sector,” Mr Quinn said.

“We see there will be huge industrial and job opportunities to meet the demand for clean services that domestic and international customers are demanding.

“It will offer a long-term future as investors are increasingly savvy about the market opportunities in zero carbon projects.”

BZE preliminary modelling had found that a REIP in the Valley could create 2400, with more to be identified upon deeper analysis.

“A diverse economy is a strong economy, this is my message for the Valley, start diversifying as you have the strength,” Mr Quinn said.

Australian Carbon Innovation told the Inquiry committee about the strengths of developing the region’s lignite into low-emissions applications.

ACI chief executive officer Brian Davey said this included carbon fibre, coal to diesel, graphene or hydrogen used with carbon capture, which would be manufactured in compatibility with climate targets.

The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 23 February, 2022 — Page 9

Rehabilitation far from an easy fix THANKS Michelle Slater and The Express for the reports (February 16, 2022) concerning the Loy Yang ‘A’ decision, and the proposed flooding of the Hazelwood open-cut mine-pit.

As an aquaphile I am attracted to the latter proposal as an eloquent easy-fix, but what to do about the other three destined to soon be decommissioned pits?

The Hazelwood pit, you say, would contain more water than the grand Sydney Harbour (637 billion litres) and require annual top-ups of five billion litres to replace the evaporative losses. I am no engineer, but expect enormous and widespread drops in the surrounding water-table.

Coal will continue to be a valuable resource after we stop only drying it and burning it for steam; e.g., using it for fertiliser, and extracting hydrogen and rare-earth minerals; and the unflooded wastelands could be landscaped and transformed at different levels into parks for large scale wind and solar generators and Mondragon size ‘battery-banks’.

I have just ordered a PV solar and battery system for myself; but what if the power companies allowed household small generators who are already connected to the ‘grid’ to bank their output on a debit and credit basis?

Electric vehicles are also on the way in.

Leave the groundwater underground where it won’t evaporate. And: As the power-stations are ‘transitioning’ to closure, instead of calling for volunteers for redundancy packages and planning the rehabilitation of their wastelands, they should be - in parallel with their winding down schedules - be re-training their human resources, and creatively re-purposing their assets (including their real-estate).

The Feds’ TV advertising wide of the mark

I HAVE been amazed at the federal government advertising campaign on free to air TV lately.

The ads suggest that the federal government is spending big on renewable energy, showing flashy grabs of solar farms, soil carbon projects, hydrogen projects and seaweed for cattle.

In fact, most of this investment is by forward looking private investors like Twiggy Forrest, often in spite of government policies.

Unsurprisingly the ads show no wind farms as the Federal Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor, has been a fierce anti wind farm campaigner since before he entered parliament.

Probably because they are so effective at under-cutting the price of production of coal fired and gas power stations.

Need we mention our coal hugging PM. Let’s not forget how much our Liberal National Party government has tried to stifle investment in renewable energy since they came to power in 2013.

The following is a list of some of their antirenewable actions in the last nine years:  Getting rid of the ETS (carbon tax).  Reducing the renewable energy target (RET) by a third for 2020 and scrapping a RET for 2030.  Defunding the Climate Council. Stopping the Clean Energy Finance Corporation from investing in wind and solar.  Diverting some of the CEFC funds to gas and

Carbon Capture and Storage projects.  Blocking NAIF funding for a Queensland wind farm while giving millions to frack the Beetaloo Basin.  Employing a bunch of gas company mates to develop a COVID Recovery Plan. Surprise, surprise. They recommended a “gas led recovery”.  Building a totally unneeded diesel and gas power station at Kurri Kurri.  Developing a “Planphlet” for Net Zero by 2050 for the COP26 climate conference, 40 per cent of which is just fantasy.

The truth is that the positive “Can Do Capitalism” by private investors should ensure that Australia does not need to burn coal or much gas for electricity by 2030, But this will be impossible if we stick with the policies of the Morrison government.

The coming election will be an opportunity for citizens to see through the blatant political spin of this untruthful ad campaign and vote for candidates who support a real transition to reduce Australia’s emissions by over 45 per cent and secure a future for their children and the environment.

Governments challenged to make Strzelecki koalas a priority

IT is disappointing to note how little interest the federal and state governments have in developing legislation to ensure protection of our Strzelecki koalas.

Their population is threateningly low: some 1500-2000 or so.

These koalas are only found in Gippsland, and are a different koala population from the rest of the koalas we see elsewhere in Victoria and South Australia (SA).

To be more specific: our Strzelecki koalas significantly differ in terms of their greater genetic diversity. They carry the original genetic pool as they are direct descendants from the original koalas.

This uniqueness seems to allow these koalas to adapt more easily to environment changes and less prone to diseases. It is even said they carry the key to understanding our koala species survival in Australia.

The rest of the koalas we see in Victoria, outside Gippsland, are translocated koalas; that is these koalas are descendants from small groups of koalas that were sent to French Island and Phillip Island many years ago.

Hence their genetic diversity is low and it is well documented the diseases and difficulties they have living in their environment.

Due to this uniqueness the SA government, with Victorian state government approval, transported some of our Strzelecki male koalas to SA in a breeding project last year, with the aim of ensuring the survival of SA koala species.

One only has to browse the internet to find other organisations also have an interest in acquiring Strzelecki koalas for their breeding programs.

Yet the federal and state governments are not enshrining the significance of the Strzelecki koalas in any legislation to ensure their long-term protection and survival in their diminishing natural habitat! Why? Olga van Cauwenberghe Jeeralang Junction

Renewables will provide payback sooner

A LETTER from Adam Leslie (LV Express, February 9, 2022), where he stated the payback time for embodied carbon of a large wind turbine was 15 years of operation, prompted me to research online and found this article addressing the issue and many more supporting the same conclusion that the payback time is just seven months. (https://yaleclimateconnections. org/2021/06/whats-the-carbon-footprint-of-awind-turbine/) .

After seven months of operation there is absolutely no greenhouse gas released to the atmosphere, in contrast to something like the HESC project of converting coal to hydrogen where coal is continually burnt, resulting in vast levels of CO2 every day of its operation.

I am sure that Adam would be glad that renewable energy from wind and solar farms will continue to reduce his power bills as more of it gets hooked into the grid.

Victoria and SA both ended last year with wholesale electricity prices falling to around four cents/kWh while those for NSW and QLD were around 8c/kWh. This is because of the rapid increase of wind and solar in the southern states taking Victoria’s share of renewables to around 36 per

This trend will continue as private investment is rushing to build more renewable energy, despite our Liberal National Party government since 2013 desperately trying to kill off investment in wind farms and to a lesser extent solar farms, by policies such as getting rid of the ETS (carbon tax) amongst many others.

The wonders of the Morwell Rose Garden

OCCASIONALLY a summer’s day comes along that is so beautiful you hope that it is the pilot episode of a continuing series.

And such was the day I picked to take a leisurely stroll through the forever memorable Morwell Rose Garden.

Admittedly, truly appreciating the beauty and artistry of nature is like having an ear for music, some people respond to a particular mood or atmosphere, others are tone deaf.

But on this perfect late-summer’s day who could be tone deaf to the amorous humming of pollinating bees or the singing of birds who frequently visit and nest in the exotic and native trees that grow here and that enhance and complement the surrounding roses?

Indeed, it is this very parklike setting that gives Morwell Rose Garden a certain unique and quaint charm and that makes it so popular to visitors.

But to me, Morwell Rose Garden is so much more than just a recreation reserve that the Morwell and wider Gippsland community enjoy and quite rightly celebrate each mid-November at the Morwell Rose Garden International Rose Festival.

For to me it is a “deeply spiritual place” where I daily walk and commune with the loves of my life - the roses that grow here, virtually in my own backyard, and that have become a part of me and indeed mean more to me than my own heartbeat.

For to me Morwell Rose Garden is not merely fossilised earth, but a living thing that has a “heartbeat.”

Not as obvious as a human being’s heartbeat but, to be sure, it is not an inert and lifeless piece of ground that lacks feelings and personality.

The German poet Heinrich Heine hinted at this when he wrote “Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.”

Indeed, there is a very special feeling I get whenever I look out of my Morwell Rose Garden Village - window and see the roses of Morwell Rose Garden beckoning to me from just across the road.

A feeling that tells me I must be with the roses quickly and urgently.

Thus, it is a vital necessity for me to have a few hours of this separate life every day, for my mind has an intrinsic need to live its own life apart from other things.

But I am never alone even though I am often the only one in the garden. For whenever I walk the petal-strewn paths of Morwell Rose Garden I am with old and dear friends, old acquaintances that will never be forgot.

Latrobe Regional Hospital

Community Newsletter

Research projects aim for real results It was a visit to Western Health on the outskirts of Melbourne in 2018 which set the wheels in motion for an initiative that would revolutionise treatment for complex and life-threatening medical conditions at Latrobe Regional Hospital.

Then General Manager for Education and Research Anita Raymond discovered a model for research and clinical trials that could be adapted to suit people in Gippsland.

“We had a blank canvas at LRH with no established research unit and we knew we wanted to grow in the area of clinical trials given the high incidence of cancer and chronic disease in Gippsland.

Executive Director Education, Research and Governance Anita Raymond (front left) and Research Manager Dr Jhodie Duncan (front right) lead a growing research team at LRH which is building important partnerships with major hospitals and universities.

While LRH has been associated with the implementation of research projects for some years, few have directly addressed the local community’s health needs with limited access to clinical trials. The development of a dedicated research unit and important partnerships with leading health services and universities has led to the facilitation of 51 applications for projects at the hospital and affiliated sites last year, triple the number since 2016.

Ms Raymond, who is now Executive Director Education, Research and Governance at LRH, said all applications are reviewed by the hospital’s Human Research Ethics Committee comprising representatives from LRH, hospitals in Warragul, Sale, Bairnsdale and Wonthaggi as well as research academics, a lawyer, a representative from the mental health sector and community members, to ensure the benefits outweigh any risk.

LRH is the first regional health service to be accepted as an associate member of Monash Partners, an academic health science centre which includes Alfred Health, the Baker and Burnet institutes, Monash University and others.

Clinical trial coordinator Joanne Parr was honoured with a national award for her work in supporting people with colorectal cancer to receive new treatment options.

The membership means collaboration on a grand scale with major research players and professional development opportunities for the growing research team at LRH. There are now 14 staff associated with the research and

clinical trials program who work closely with researchers and medical professionals.

LRH Research Manager Dr Jhodie Duncan said building a team from scratch is a slow and steady process and has presented existing staff with a unique opportunity.

“It’s enabled a lot of our nurses to diversify their skill-set and take on roles as trial coordinators. It’s been a steep learning curve but they have really excelled in those positions,” Dr Duncan said.

“To be a trials coordinator in a developing unit in a regional setting will provide treatment options to people who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity. That’s the inspiration for staff who have joined the team. They may not have the skills initially – we can train them - but they certainly have the desire and passion to support patients to access new treatments.”

One success story is Joanne Parr, a community nurse who has transitioned to the role of clinical trial coordinator.

After just two years with the research team, Jo received a prestigious national award from the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group for her work coordinating colorectal cancer trials at LRH.

TAFE Gippsland welcomes new board director

JOANNE BRUNT

TAFE Gippsland’s board of directors is now complete with the appointment of Latrobe Valley professional Joanne Brunt.

A proud and strong Gunai woman, Ms Brunt joined TAFE Gippsland’s Board in December to bring her skills in helping TAFE Gippsland manage its strategic direction as a vocational and education training Institute of excellence and an employer of choice.

TAFE Gippsland’s board chair Paul Buckley welcomed Ms Brunt’s appointment in a message to the institute’s staff and students.

“I am delighted to advise you that Ms Joanne Brunt has been appointed to the position of boardco-opted director following a process overseen

by TAFE Gippsland’s board,” Mr Buckley said.

“Joanne will bring her extensive community leadership and indigenous education and employment experience to our Institute’s Board and we are delighted to welcome Jo to TAFE Gippsland.

Mr Buckley said the 10-person board was now complete and will work closely TAFE Gippsland’s executive leadership team to “ensure TAFE Gippsland is well placed to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2022 as we recover from COVID-19”.

“This year we are preparing to launch our campus redevelopment projects at Morwell, Sale and Warragul and we are excited that these facilities will offer an outstanding student experience to meet local community and industry needs,” Mr Buckley said.

“We are absolutely delighted to bring Joanne into our team, and I’m confident she will bring her extensive knowledge of our local indigenous community issues to ensure even better outcomes for our new and prospective student cohorts.”

Originally from Orbost, Ms Brunt now lives in the Latrobe Valley and has an extensive CV. Currently working with Latrobe City Council as Employment Development coordinator, Ms Brunt works to improve indigenous employment opportunities in Gippsland in the private and public sectors.

Ms Brunt began her three-year board term in December 2021.

Get government workers back in the office

By MICHELLE SLATER

MEMBER for Morwell Russell Northe has asked the state government to scrap work from home recommendations due to financial pressures on local businesses relying on town office workers.

Morwell Crossley Café owner Kelly Alcock is waiting for the trade from government agency office workers to bounce back from the pandemic.

Ms Alcock had relocated her café from Traralgon about a year ago, hopeful that the lockdowns from 2020 were in the past.

“But then it was a series of lockdowns one after the other, I wouldn’t have contemplated it, but I thought back then we were over the worst of it,” Ms Alcock said.

“Now, people are not out and about on the street.

I knew I would not be relying on foot traffic, but on office workers when I opened, but now these offices are running on skeleton crew.”

The state government had promised to review office-based settings sometime this week, which could include including removing the work from home recommendation.

But Ms Alcock remained sceptical, stating “we will see”.

She said any government small businesses grants

would be welcome to help cover the overheads from keeping the doors open with reduced trade.

Mr Northe had submitted a series of questions to the Industry Support and Recovery Minister Martin Pakula, which included asking for timelines on removing work from home recommendations.

He also called for analysis on the impact the recommendation was having on local businesses as well as any support packages that could be offered to help them weather through.

“After what has already been a very tumultuous two years for business owners with many struggling to keep their doors open, they now must also contend with a large downturn in foot traffic which is adding to the financial pressure they are already facing,” Mr Northe said.

A state government spokesperson said Health Minister Martin Foley will consider changing other office-based settings this week such as face masks.

“We’re grateful to everyone who has been doing the right thing, helping to reduce the impact of this virus on the community, our healthcare system and our economy,” the spokesperson said.

“The most important thing you can do however, is get vaccinated or book that crucial third dose.”

LATROBE Regional Hospital will re-evaluate re-opening face-to-face parent and infant services after going online earlier this month to help keep new mums and bubs at home in the pandemic.

The Agnes Parent and Infant Unit had been moved to telehealth services three times as local COVID cases increased.

It comes as the state Shadow Mental Health Minister Emma Kealy raised the issue in Parliament last week, with fears that the Agnes Unit “has been closed, this time indefinitely”.

“Why are new parents and babies in the Latrobe Valley being denied vital mental health support through the government’s closure of this life-saving service?” Ms Kealy asked.

Agnes provides free intervention programs for mums and babies to help strengthen bonding, feeding, sleeping, and help with emotional issues.

But LRH mental health executive director Sebastiano Romano assured the unit was not being indefinitely shut down and the hospital

would review the service within the next few weeks.

Mr Romano said they had the capacity to see more mums online than with face-to-face services.

“We’ve had discussions with the office of the chief psychiatrist and there is no inkling we will be shut, it’s an essential service. The only difference is this is not on site,” Mr Romano said.

“We can still provide assessments and individual sessions with relaxation and meditation, how babies settle and sleep and how mums and adjust into parenthood.

“We look at how many sessions they may need, how we can fit around them and support them in their needs.”

Health Minister Martin Foley said he would “back Latrobe Regional Hospital every step of the way for the informed decisions they make” in regard to how these services were being delivered.

“This is a government that is investing more than any other government in our history in maternal and child health service supports right across the healthcare system,” Mr Foley said.

Student burns midnight oil

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

KURNAI College student Jiaheng Zheng spent the last year starting his school day at midnight.

Jiaheng is completing Year 12 at Kurnai College’s University Campus.

When COVID struck, many people were unable to return to their homes or schools, and Jiaheng was one of them.

The international student, originally from China, found himself stuck in Madagascar during most of the pandemic, returning home last month.

Victoria is eight hours ahead of Madagascar, and for Jiaheng that meant his first class started at 12am or 1am in the morning.

“The border of Australia was closed ... I thought it would be only a short time,” he said.

“I had to wake up at 12am or 1am, but once you get used to it, it’s fine.”

His teachers at Kurnai were amazed by his commitment to learning as he continually logged onto Microsoft teams each and every night.

“Our classes were usually 2am to 3am for him,” Jiaheng’s English as Another Language (EAL) teacher Kirrilee Enders said.

Ms Enders was very impressed by er class.

Jiaheng’s commitment to her “Jiaheng actually won our top student for EAL last year, all the way from Madagascar,” she said.. eremony “He attended the award ceremony ront of the on my laptop. I put him in front speaker, and then when his name was p up to the announced I help the laptop rest for the rest of the schooll “The whole school just applauded.”

Despite doing so well online, Jiaheng is excited to be in actual class again.

“You feel a little bit lonely, it’s different from being in class,” he said.

“I like to talk to people face-to-face, not online.”

With his sleep schedule alll messed up, Jiaheng spent a g. lot of his spare time sleeping.

“In this school you’ve got lots of study periods, but in

my study periods when I was online I would just sleep,” he explained.

When he was not in class - and was not sleeping either - Jiaheng spent his time studying.

“The most important thing is that you listen carefully in class, you need to be more concentrated than you would be in real life. You need to spend some of your own time to catch up later,” he explained.

“People won’t stop and wait for you, you need to catch up by yourself.”

Currently, Kurnai College has a few students left overseas, unable to return due to different restrictions.

Some students still remain in China.

“China’s lockdowns, are different in cities and different provinces, so that’s why they can’t come back,” Kurnai’s international student coordinator Linda Harkess said.

Ms Harkess commended her fellow Kurnai teacher’s commitment to their students during the pandemic.

“Our teachers are fantastic, they put in a lot of extra work and a lot of extra effort in,” she said.

“They really do work very hard.”

Last year, two of Kurnai College’s international students received over 90 ATARs. Ms Enders sai said her department is proud of the EAL students’ achievement over stu years. the last two y “We are really rea proud of our EAL think they’ve been amazing students, I th and they’ve been be affected by our border restrictions and an learning online, and not being able to t see their families,” she said.

“We are hoping that things will start getting back on track ““Our students have English as a a second language, so llearning online for them is amazingly difficult ... but they do so well, they’re really resilient.”

Committed: Jiaheng C started his school day at st midnight. m

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS Narracan develop into a major tourism hub following the launch of an almost $300,000 boost last Friday.

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

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

The project, worth $295,000, will involve improvements to toilet and shower facilities, safety lighting and revamped signage.

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

It represents Stage 1 of a wider plan for the facility.

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1972

Stages 2 and 3 – involving large-scale private investment, perhaps for accommodation – may become clearer when Premier Steve Bracks and State and Regional Development Minister John Brumby lead a long-awaited investment tour of the region next month.

ALL’S WELL … BUT WHAT CONFUSION It was all’s well that ends well for Bardy the fox terrier, pet of Mr and Mrs A. H Beames, of Alamein St, Morwell – but his exploits gave two Geelong men a few bad moments.

MORWELL BOWLER ON TARGET

Mr and Mrs Beames were visiting Geelong at the weekend before last and Bardy, in strange surroundings, ran away during a thunderstorm and got lost.

“We drove all around Geelong, did about 170 miles looking for him,” Mrs Beames said.

“But in the end we had to go home without him.”

The Beams, who have had their little dog for three years, were broken-hearted, and advertised for Brady in Geelong newspapers and over the radio.

In the meantime, Bardy had turned up in the backyard of two Geelong men who had been in the Latrobe Valley on the Friday the Beames’ were driving to Geelong – it was about four miles from the area where Bardy had disappeared.

And seeing the Morwell tags on the dog’s collard, the men assumed that Brardy had jumped into the back of their utility unnoticed and hitched a ride to Geelong.

“They didn’t want to be charged with dog-snatching,” Mrs Beames said, ‘’so they contacted their brother in Traralgon.”

The brother is Senior Constable R.W Allen of the Traralgon Police, who rang Mr and Mrs Beames to tell them the story.

The mystery of Bardy’s being in Geelong was solved, and in a day or two he was reunited with his owners, and was the happiest dog in Morwell.

WARNS ON SPENDING Most Latrobe Valley municipal councils do not seem to have been affected by the tightening of the economy.

Town Clerks and Shire Secretaries in most Latrobe Valley municipalities said this week that rate payments were being made at a similar pace to previous years.

FUN FACT: A new release Deluxe 25 inch National Panasonic television could be yours on a payment plan from $2.45 a week from Kelly Brothers in Morwell, Traralgon, Moe, Churchill and Warragul.

TWENTY TEAMS ENTERED Twenty teams have entered so far for this year’s winter competition in Latrobe Valley Volleyball.

There are 11 men’s teams and nine women’s teams entered.

Several new teams have been formed for this year’s competition, including Warlock, a team led by former Yuk players Adam Ozga and Peter Procak.

40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1982

MORWELL ace Davin Charleston produced an amazing spell of 5/5 to rip through lowly St Vincents in Central Gippsland cricket on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 23, 1972 committee, Murray Holmes of Boolarra, telegrammed the committee’s chairman Cr Ossie Ruff of Sale, on Friday, requesting the meeting.

The move follows the announcement that the EPA had been asked to vary the Hazelwood emission licence for a temporary period to allow a greater generating capacity during the current NSW power shortage.

SHOPPING COMPLEX NO.2 Morwell may get another multi-million dollar shopping complex.

Consultants Burgess, Rawson and Associates, acting on behalf of a major supermarket group, have been negotiating for a site in the major commercial area.

It is believed they are acting for the Woolworths Group.

The proposal is for a $3.5 million supermarket, small shops and car parking development.

The site under investigation is bounded by Commercial Road, Hazelwood Road and Ann Street.

FALCONS OPEN NEW COMPLEX The new clubrooms for Morwell Falcons Soccer Club were officially opened amidst some first class soccer, music from a pipe band and sky diving on Saturday.

Club patron Don Di Fabrizio told the large gathering there was still much work to be done on the complex, but with many willing workers who had already donated so much time to the club, he felt certain it would become the best soccer ground in Victoria.

30 YEARS AGO FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1992

LEAVE OUR HOSPITAL ALONE – MOE RESIDENTS DEMAND “Stop fiddling with our hospital’’ was the angry cry at Wednesday night’s public meeting in Moe to discuss the rationalisation of Latrobe Regional Hospital services.

The environmental sub-committee of the Latrobe Valley Consultative Committee will hold a special meeting – probably this week – to discuss the relaxed emission standards for the Hazelwood Power Station.

One hundred and fifty angry residents fired a barrage of questions at LRH chief executive officer Ian Hyndman, medical services director Michael Coglin and executive director of nursing Lois Lindsay, about proposed changes to clinical services at Moe and Traralgon hospitals outlined in the ‘Rationalisation of Clinical Services’ report.

ACTION SET FOR LV SMOG PLAN

Page 16 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 23 February, 2022

FEBRUARY 25, 2002 has prompted Moe City Council to call a second public meeting next Wednesday at Newborough Public Hall at 7.30pm.

UNION HITCH HOLDS UP NEW INDUSTRY Latrobe Valley’s ‘union culture’ has been blamed for preventing a new growth industry, soot-blowing, from setting up a base in the region.

SEC unions’ current sensitivity about private contract work appears to be hampering progress, according to the American company behind the proposal, Diamond Power.

The company’s president Paul Perrone, met yesterday with Latrobe Regional Commission representatives to discuss plans for building a factory in the Latrobe Valley to service industry boilers and turbines through NSW, South Australia and Tasmania.

MOTOR ACTION Exciting motor action was witnessed by more than 1000 people at the recent Victorian Compact Speedway State Titles at Rosedale Speedway.

This was the second consecutive year the titles have been held at Rosedale and Glen Dobbins made it two in a row when he reclaimed his title.

Moe driver Austin Corcoran thrilled the crowd with his brilliant performance in a ‘’modified production’’ race by coming second after his car rolled over several times at top speed.

FUN FACT: A Ford EA Fairmont sedan was the weekly special at Morwell Nissan/Latrobe Valley Hyundai. The luxury car could have been yours for $16,990 driveaway.

20 YEARS AGO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2002

AIRPORT REVAMP Latrobe Regional Airport and Latrobe City Council are trying to woo Victorian regional carriers to replace the now defunct Hazelton Airlines at the airport.

Details of the talks came as Minister for State and Regional Development John Brumby opened upgraded facilities at the airport on Friday after a state government boost of $270,000.

Latrobe Regional Airport used to be Hazelton’s only Victorian base, but all that ceased with the collapse of parent company Ansett in September last year.

BIG FUTURE FOR LAKE SAYS MINISTER The state government and Latrobe City Council appear committed to seeing Lake

St Vincents were knocked over for 56.

In other games, the clash between top teams Moe and Latrobe is evenly poised, Newborough, with a tail wag, scored 223 against Rawson, which is 3/58 in response and Yallourn North has already secured first innings points over Thorpdale.

FUN FACT: A three-bedroom home at Jones Court in Traralgon was priced to sell for $59,750 with Real Estate Traralgon.

10 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2012

POTENTIAL TRADIE VACUUM Economic uncertainty combined with concerns about the federal government’s carbon pricing policy has dampened business sentiment and may result in a vacuum of skilled tradespeople in the future, say politicians.

Speaking to The Express after a closed-door Apprenticeships Group Australia panel on Tuesday, Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said power stations had already announced redundancies in maintenance activities.

“This naturally has a flow-on effect to suppliers of skilled labour to the industry; it’s only a matter of time until the situation becomes more difficult,” Mr Chester said.

RYAN’S BACK ON TRACK Following months of silence and uncertainty surrounding Traralgon’s Ryan’s Hotel, the venue is set to reopen after a chance of management.

Traralgon resident and businesswoman Tina Doyle, who recently acquired the hotel’s licence, said she was keen on ‘’putting heritage back into Traralgon’’.

The venue, which has stood on Franklin Street since 1914, was closed in October last year when the former management’s licence was suspended.

SWOOPING ON 300 GAMES Latrobe Valley sporting identity Grantley ‘Swoop’ Switzer is set to play his 300th game for his beloved Gormandale Cricket Club this weekend.

Eighteen A Grade centuries, TDCA team of the century and a record seven club champion awards were just some of the achievements Switzer has made since he began playing senior cricket as a 13-year-old in 1985.

“My first year in the seniors, I was mainly playing with dad’s mates,” he said.

And the best way to showcase your numerous talents is within your local community or via social networking. The more time and effort you put into building firm foundations, the more it will benefit you further down the track.

So this week it’s important to employ long-term strategies, rather than short-term fixes.

A new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”

You may not be seeing the full picture so try to be more flexible. But don’t let a colleague, friend or acquaintance pull the wool over your eyes. Keep your trusty bulldust detector set on high. You’re in the mood to socialise with your peer group but be careful what you say. Think before you speak because impulsive words (especially on Thursday or Friday) could lead to regrets later on.

GGemini It’s a wonderful week to foster

friendships and nurture international contacts.

Plus, make sure you’re carrying your weight in all your major relationships. Communicating with a stressed loved one will be tense, but a pinch of patience will get you through.

Lucky opportunities are hovering around, but you’ll need to be a smart and proactive Twin to catch them.

With three planets activating your wellbeing zone, it’s time to focus on healthy food and fitness. And make sure any exercise program you start also has a social element to it (like tennis, squash or golf) otherwise you’ll quickly lose interest. Romance is highlighted. If you’re attached, don’t place unrealistic expectations on your partner. If you’re single, avoid falling for someone who is married, engaged or just not interested.

friennds and relatives demand plenty of your precious time. So how on earth will you keep all the plates spinning and get everything done? Clear communication is the key.

Weather: A new Portable Automated Weather Station was set up in Hazelwood North last week. photographs alyssa fritzlaff

Weather station is just PAWSome

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

HAZELWOOD North Fire Brigade set up their brand new Portable Automated Weather Station (PAWS) last week.

The important piece of equipment is used by the brigade to monitor things such as temperature, humidity and wind speed.

The PAWS is used with a 10 metre mast kit, which is purchased from, delivered and set up by ESS Weathertech.

A number of people attended on the day to watch the new station go up and lend a helping hand.

It is designed to be transported from place to place with ease, and is an important piece of equipment for emergency services during events like bushfires and storms.

Weathertech regional salesperson Amy my Hewitson said she was excited to be able to travel out and set up the device.

Ms Hewitson said information from the PAWS is transported to the products manufacturing company in Canada every 10 minutes, before being packaged up and sent back to the Australian Bureau of

Meteorology (BOM), who upload the data online.

ESS Weathertech currently have PAWS in every state and territory in Australia, apart from the Northern Territory.

PAWS Gippsland region coordinator Ray Beaton said this equipment was an upgrade from the approximately 15 year old device that was previously used by the brigade.

“It’s more sophisticated,” he said.

PAWS are important for bushfire responses and controlled burns, and are often placed in close proximity to the fire in order to get accurate measurements of the environment.

The station is used to perform controlled burns by monitoring the environment in the lead up to the burning and during it as well, helping to managee safety and control.

For this reason, the unit is made to last.

It has no plastic coomponents and has a very simple set-up, only y taking approximately 15 minutes from startt to finish. fii The approximatee value of the PAWS and its 10 metre mast kit is $40,000.

After three enthralling, unpredictable seasons, the final instalment of Killing Eve is premiering with a racing pulse of gunshots, messy relationships, gorgeous clothes and breathtaking locations; for a spy thriller, it revels in subverting our expectations of genre and characters. As with past seasons, there’s an exciting new showrunner in Laura Neal (Sex Education). In “Just Dunk Me”, Eve (Sandra Oh) is out for revenge, whlie Villanelle (Jodie Comer, pictured) has found a fresh community to try to prove she is not a monster.

SAS AUSTRALIA Prime7, Tuesday, 7.30pm

There aren’t any TV shows that advise viewer discretion not to watch on a full stomach, but perhaps that should change. “What doesn’t kill you, makes you”, declares chief instructor Ant Middleton (pictured) in this gruelling series. Some of the tasks (and the celebrities’ reactions) are so extreme that witnessing it could almost make you feel like throwing up. In this episode about leadership, discord among the recruits explodes, with a US Navy SEAL-style surf battle and a taxing waterfall climb.

Kitchen program gets cooking

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL Neighbourhood House’s (MNH) People’s Kitchen Program has partnered with EnergyAustralia.

Volunteers from MNH and the energy giant teamed up in the kitchen of A Kinder Cup café this month to provide community members with nutritious, delicious meals.

The People’s Kitchen Program has volunteers cook meals for those people in the community who are experiencing food insecurity.

These meal are then distributed through the organisation’s Foodbank.

Volunteers are comprised of community members, those accessing the foodbank and now, volunteers from industry partners.

The program not only works to provide food for community members, but develop volunteer’s food literacy and skills.

EnergyAustralia Latrobe Valley community and communications lead David Burt said the company was excited to be part of the program.

The partnership is born from EnergyAustralia’s Workplace Giving program, through which employees make a donation to an charity or organisation, which is then ‘’matched’’ by EnergyAustralia.

“We’ve partnered with the People’s Kitchen as we recognise the work that they do in supporting the community,” Mr Burt said.

“Not only are many of us making donations to the people’s kitchen, but we also have the opportunity to do some volunteering as well.”

Mr Burt said the team of volunteers from EnergyAustralia were enjoying their time in the kitchen.

“We’ve got a really good mix of people, we’ve got someone from Yallourn mines, someone from the power station. Our facilities manager and supervisor is here,” he said.

“Our workforce in particular have been really passionate about this particular charitable organisation, mainly because of the work that they do in providing meals and providing support systems.”

“It’s a great opportunity,’’ he added.

MNH manager Tracie Lund

Cooking: There was lots going on the the kitchen at The Kinder Cup. said the partnership is a fantastic opportunity for MNH. “EnergyAustralia was looking for a community partner, and we were lucky enough to be considered for that partnership,” she said “In 2022 we are really committed to expanding our People’s Kitchen program, and a part of that is providing opportunities for business and industry to get involved.”

Ms Lund said food insecurity is a really big issue for the Latrobe Valley community.

Nutrition: A number of vegetables and other good stuff went into the lasagne.

“We know many people in our community don’t have a lived experience with food insecurity. It is a really wicked problem ... one that many, many people experience every day.”

This was the first time the People’s Kitchen Program took place at MNH’s A Kinder Cup cafe.

“We are anticipating about 60 meals out of today, this is our first time cooking at A Kinder Cup for the People’s Kitchen. Today is really about learning on the job,” Ms Lund said.

“This isn’t scaled up as much as we hope others will be in the future.”

Usually the program takes place in MNH, so the new space took a bit of getting used to.

However, Ms Lund said the A Kinder Cup kitchen is much more industrial space and easier to use for such a big operation.

The A Kinder Cup kitchen will continue to be used for programs like this. Ms Lund said that even when the café is closed, it is being used for important community programs.

The recipe chosen for the big day was lasagne and vegetables, cooked from scratched and packed with nutrition.

“We wanted to make sure that it was a recipe most people had cooked before, we didn’t want to do anything that was too daunting,” Ms Lund said.

“The lasagne has allowed us to put things in like lentils, spinach, and carrots.”

“The nutritional value of the meal is really important.”

Ms Lund said that the food literacy taught through the kitchen has even inspired volunteers from the community, and from the Foodbank to make changes to their lifestyle.

“We’ve had a lot of really good feedback from people that have already participated in the program around changes they’ve made in their day-to-day cooking,” she said.

THE Latrobe Health Advocate’s quarterly update has identified Latrobe’s top health aspirations.

Jane Anderson (pictured) released the update last week.

It contained information collected from October to December 2021.

The top aspirations identified by Latrobe Communities during this period were Health Equity and Access to Services.

People reported that not everyone has the ability to access vaccinations within government timelines and delivery settings, particularly people who have experienced trauma or are living with mental illness.

Healthy lifestyles was also among the top aspirations.

In the LGBTIQ community, Social Inclusion was an aspiration. Ms Anderson heard about a new program targeted at LGBTIQ people in Latrobe.

The program is focused on adolescents but is open to all people.

During this quarter, COVID-19 had hit a peak in the Latrobe Valley.

At the same time, 95 per cent of eligible people in Latrobe were recorded as being double vaccinated.

The Advocate heard from people who wanted to know how to comply with COVID-19 rules.

Some reported struggling with “what appeared to be inconsistency and the unreliable frequency of information that relates to them.”

“A key element of my role is to elevate the voice of communities and enable systems change that leads to improved health and wellbeing of Latrobe communities,” Ms Anderson said.

“In this report I am sharing people’s experiences which provide great insights into what is concerning them and what solutions they can see that will support people in Latrobe to experience better health and wellbeing.”

In the update, Ms Anderson mentioned her submission at a panel hearing about the proposed Delburn Wind Farm.

In her submission she said she had consistently put forward the view that governments and industry need to involve communities in the design and decision making processes.

The Advocate also shared her concerns when meeting Chief Environmental Scientist, Mark Taylor and staff at the Environmental Protecting Authority during the quarter.

The man who changed his mind

the very beginning, Dan Caffrey had FROM a curious mind.

He was the eldest of seven children, and had a classic rural upbringing at Tinamba, on a 100-acre dairy farm which had been in the family for three generations.

He remembers his dad took pride in how the farm looked, with many trees planted, the pasture always well-managed and cows happy and content with full bellies.

Dan enjoyed his childhood on the farm, and didn’t need prompting when it was his turn to help out with the milking.

Over the noise of the milking shed he enjoyed talking with his father about what he had learnt at school and hearing his thoughts about how the world worked.

Politics was discussed only rarely, but Dan grew up understanding that his dad, and the Caffrey clan, were rusted on conservative supporters.

Dan took this on board, and in his early voting years, he followed the family tradition and voted Nationals.

This is where the story gets interesting!

In the years that followed, Dan Caffrey has gone from a mild, generationally attached conservative to a passionate, outspoken member of the Greens Party who has twice stood for state parliament, and once for council.

Such a change of allegiance is not common, and this is the story of how it happened.

We take up where we left off, in Dan’s childhood … Dan attended St Pat’s College in Sale through secondary school and was always a keen student, specialising in chemistry and physics in his final years.

One day when he was about 14, he and his father saw this 4WD speeding up the lane just after milking.

It was a young geologist on his way to inspect an exploratory drilling rig that had been working further down the farm at that time.

The young man told Dan, “You know, 30 feet down there is coal.”

He spoke reverentially, as if he had just revealed the burial place of a saint.

Dan recalls feeling alarmed, until dad said there was no threat to the land around their district. He was reassured, but never forgot the incident.

Dan remembers chatting about it to his then (and still) best mate Pete on the school bus soon after.

They shared a thirst for knowledge, and an awareness of the wider world, often talking about sustainability, organic farming and current affairs even then.

When he finished school, Dan might have liked to stay on the farm, but six into one is bound to produce a vulgar fraction, which are never any fun.

Instead he took up a traineeship with Nestle in Maffra, who sent him to Gilbert Chandler Institute of Dairy Technology in Werribee, where he studied the manufacture of milk products.

The job involved long hours and a lot of shift work, which he never enjoyed, and after four years Dan could see he needed to change direction.

As to where, he had no idea.

Finding work was easy though, and over the next few years he tried many jobs; farm labouring, trade assistant at Hazelwood and Yallourn W among others.

Along the way he befriended a widely travelled fitter who made far off places sound very enticing.

Dan got the travel bug, and in 1982, he boarded a plane for Europe and spent the next 14 months working on farms in Norway and Iceland and backpacking around the British Isles and western Europe, enjoying the youth hostel experience.

One gorgeous Icelandic summer Sunday in 1983, he went with the farmer he was working for, to a coastal town called Vik, where, in 1938, a bridge had been constructed as part of a national project to build a road that connected the productive west of Iceland to the east.

It was a picturesque spot, dominated by a mountainous gorge which tumbled down to meet the sea.

The gorge contained a 30-metre high glacier which ended and became a river 60 metres inland from the bridge.

Dan’s boss was 14 when the bridge was built and remembers that the glacier extended right to the sea and needed to be partially removed to allow construction to begin.

DAN CAFFREY

Forty five years later, it was clear to see that the glacier had retreated between 60 and 100 metres inland, and was now well back from the bridge.

Dan filed away this interesting phenomenon.

In 1983, global warming had only recently come into international consciousness.

Dan had not heard about it, so at the time didn’t make any connection with the diminishing glacier.

On returning to Australia, he got a job as a dairy technologist at Pura Milk in Melbourne.

It was back to shift work and Dan found it was no more enjoyable than before, but in the meantime he managed to get married to Jane, start a family and begin a Science Degree part-time.

This led to something unexpected; he found that among science students on campus, global warming and care for the environment were a hot topic often being discussed.

At first, Dan just listened, sifting through it all in his mind.

He remembered the retreating glacier in Iceland which he saw with his own eyes, and for the first time realised how naturally it fitted the narrative of global warming.

Gradually, the full impact of what the students were saying became clear to him.

They believed the human species, unable to control greed and widespread apathy within its ranks, had set itself on a path to self-destruction, which would be the biggest own goal in the history of the planet.

The students’ reasoning went like this; The Industrial Revolution in the mid-1700s had relied upon the invention of steam engines.

And so began the wholesale plunder of the world’s fossil fuels, which continues today.

First, trees would do, then it was peat, then coal, then oil and gas.

In the mid-1700s, the world’s population was not even a billion. Nowadays it’s pushing towards eight billion and demand for energy has increased in proportion, the majority of which is created by burning fossil fuels.

All this burning has increased the presence of CO2, methane and other gases in the earth’s atmosphere with the effect of gradually locking in heat and warming the air and the oceans.

If left unchecked, this will have a disastrous, irreversible effect on the liveability of planet earth.

If we care about the future of the earth, our children, grandchildren, and all the living things, we have to stop burning fossil fuels for energy, and switch to renewable energy.

Urgently!

Although rocked by this new understanding, Dan was quick to accept it and from then on it became a primary motivating force in his life.

He was forever seeking more information about it, and he found corroborating evidence everywhere he looked, in the world around him and in books he read.

In 1992, immediately after graduating with his Diploma of Education, post Science degree, Dan and family went to live in Burnie, Tasmania to start his teaching career.

Burnie was the perfect place for his two boys to get a great start in life with the clean air environment and great beaches of northern Tasmania close at hand.

It was here that Dan got interested in the new Greens political party.

All the while Dan followed the raging debate about climate change which had developed in Australia.

On one side, the scientists who said that human induced global warming was

Page 30 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 23 February, 2022

happening, on the other an angry and vociferous collection of people who denied its existence, saying that the extensively peer reviewed science that supported it was wrong.

Most denialists were from deeply conservative ranks, although ironically, the toughest of them all, Margaret Thatcher, was not one of them. She had a science background and was a strident advocate of curbing man’s destruction of the planet.

In Australia, there was a worrisome lack of government action, and in 1997 it suddenly got worse.

Dr Graeme Pearman, head of the CSIRO Atmospheric Physics Division, had reported to government that global warming was serious and over the next decade would likely cause rising temperatures, less winter rain in southern Australia, increased rain in the northern tropics, less frequent rain events, but heavier rain when it did rain, and mega wildfires in bushland due to more severe droughts in the next decade.

In the Costello budget of 1997, the Howard government responded by cutting funding to Dr Pearman’s department, putting him out of a job.

Up until this happened, although he was a Greens voter, Dan had held onto a familial connection with the conservative side of politics, but this was too much!

In cutting their own eminent scientist adrift it was clear that the party had cast their lot in with the climate change deniers, and Dan turned away from them for good.

He believed these parties have been bought out by the fossil fuel industry, further evidenced by their refusal to sign the Kyoto Agreement all through the Howard years.

Fierce public debate was one thing, but denial of science, from our own government, this was scandalous, and Dan realised he would have to become active, but how?

In 1998, the family returned to the Valley to support ageing parents, and Dan took up a position as a science teacher at Catholic Regional College Traralgon.

He started writing letters about the dangers of climate change to the Latrobe Valley Express, which he does to this day.

At around the time that Al Gore released his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth in 2007, Dan joined other climate activists in the newly formed Latrobe Valley Sustainability Group, which included Dr Roland Good and his wife Joan.

Dan became, and still is, the official letter writer for the group, which campaigns for a swift transition from brown coal, because it is the most carbon intensive of all fuels, and for 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2030 among other things.

In 2014, he joined the Greens Party after they asked him to be their candidate for Morwell in the state election that year.

He also ran for the Greens in the subsequent state election and for the Latrobe City Council election of 2018. As his working life is now slowing down, his commitment to treating the planet with kindness grows ever stronger.

I ask him if he has any regrets.

“Only one,” he replies.

“I wish that I had gone harder in fighting for climate action earlier in the 2000s, when fossil fuel curtailment would have possibly saved the Great Barrier Reef and prevented other climate catastrophes from happening.

“Climate change was evident in 1983 when I witnessed the melting glacier in Iceland. Then there was less than 340 parts per million (ppm) CO2 in the atmosphere. Today there is almost 420 ppm and the effects are that much more serious. If only we had acted then instead of pretending the problem would go away.

“Ahead of us is a stark choice between securing a future for the human race (and all other species) or not. “Not” means the collapse of society as we know it by 2050 or shortly after, due to the effects of global heating and the need for tens of millions of people to relocate to more habitable places

and the social upheaval that this will cause.

“Anyone can see the effects close to home such as the beach erosion at Inverloch and anywhere you care to look, cataclysmic bushfires and increasingly destructive storms world-wide and so on. The effects get worse year by year.

“Sea level rise is just the beginning of the problems climate change is producing.”

Dan’s reading of such books as Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes, confirmed to him that fossil fuel industries have done what the tobacco industries did before them, deliberately muddying the science and paying off important politicians.

Even reading books by climate change deniers such as John Daley’s the “The Greenhouse Trap” consolidated Dan’s concerns about the changing climate and gave him a wider perspective of the problem.

“The most important thing that people can do is to cast their vote for climate action at every election,’’ he said.

Despite the inevitable disapproval by some in the local community, Dan has always been happy to wear his association with the Greens political party, because “It is the only political party that cannot be bought off by the promise of big political donations. Unless citizens send a clear message in the way we vote, then the Liberal, National and Labor Parties will not change and the toll on our natural world bends evermore towards the inevitable breaking point.”

I put to him that this is a grim outlook for a young person, or any person, to contemplate.

Does he see any cause for hope?

“Yes there is plenty of cause for hope. We already know how to produce energy without burning fossil fuels, using wind, solar, biomass, hydro, ocean wave, green hydrogen, backed up with batteries and pumped hydro, with technology in all these methods advancing all the time. We see Twiggy Forrest and other big capitalist companies quickly transitioning away from using fossil fuels for their operations. What is lacking is the collective will to apply this across the entire economy and we can only do that with government leadership,” he said.

What needs to happen?

“You have to first convince people that action is necessary, and second, that it is urgent. Against a tidal wave of denialist voices, especially powered by the Murdoch media empire, the people have to shake off their apathy and demand change,” he said.

Why is it so hard?

“I’ll give you an example. If you had been living in London at the start of the blitz in early September 1940, in your dark house, quivering and terrified at the deafening sound of bombs going off all around you, knowing that houses were being hit, finding out in the morning that whole families you had known for decades had been killed, you wouldn’t have needed any convincing that action was needed, urgently, and you would probably have wanted to be a part of that action,” he said.

“Climate change is no less menacing, but it has crept up on us in tiny increments over many generations.

“It’s just getting to the serious stage now when people are waking up that it will affect them adversely in their own lifetimes and for most of us, already has. You only have to look at our house insurance premiums for one” So what would you like to see Dan? Long pause ... he plays with his glasses.

“I would like to see science returned to its venerated position in the world community as our primary source of information about important issues. All new legislation needs to be based on science as the starting point,” he replied.

“From there we can continue our slow progress towards a kinder, fairer society and one where humans can live in harmony with the natural world.”

You might not agree with Dan on everything, but it’s hard to doubt his courage or sincerity.

Rare as hen’s teeth: Accredited cricket bat maker Clare Johnston of Berrys Creek is one of the few female cricket bat makers in the world.

photograph liam durkin

Clare is a master of a classic craft CRICKET

By LIAM DURKIN

CLARE Johnston may well belong to the most exclusive club in Australia.

The Berrys Creek resident is a cricket bat maker - believed to be one of if not the only female cricket bat maker in the country.

While the playing side of women’s cricket has exploded in recent years and more and more female players and commenters are appearing on television screens, the art of bat making has remained very much a male dominated area of the game.

Johnston however is showing girls can get on the tools, taking clefts of timber and sculpting them into stylish blades used by players across the state.

Better still, some of the timber is grown locally, coming out of a plantation in Sale.

Like all bat makers, who seem to quietly go about their business without attracting much fanfare, Johnston operates out of a shed in the secluded countryside of Berrys Creek, just a short drive from Mirboo North.

Johnston started making bats in 2015, and said her foray into the art came about from a strong affection to the game.

“It was really the love of cricket and being able to put something back in to learn an old craft,” she said.

“An opportunity (to learn bat making) came up, it was advertised in The Weekly Times, I read it and just thought ‘wow that sounds awesome’, the whole idea of making bats for your community and actually being part of the local community.”

Former Australian cricketer Ian Callen showed Johnston the ropes, and before too long, she was an accredited bat maker.

“He spent an intensive week with us and it was really hands on. There was 10 of us in the group and we made two bats in that time, learnt all the skills,” she explained.

Stepping into the quaint workshop that Johnston operates from, one gets the sense it is a place where time does not matter, as each shredded woodchip and coat of linseed oil forms part of the story of each bat that has been meticulously pieced together under her concentrated eye to reflect the person who will ultimately wield it.

This capacity to provide a gift to not only a player but to the game itself was something Johnston said carried a lot of meaning.

“It is a very personal thing, making a bat for a person, I think it is a labour of love” she said.

“You can go out and buy a cricket bat but I think when someone actually makes it for you, you can get that little bit of extra something you need in that bat.

“It is really cool. I’ve seen the girls using my bats in games, it is really lovely to see them being used.”

Starting with a solid piece of English willow timber, Johnston then attaches the bats handle, before using a variety of pull shaves and planes to handcraft the wood into the shape of a cricket bat.

From there, the handle is binded and a rubber grip put on, and finally the stickers, bringing to end a process that takes around eight hours.

Finished product: The De Lacy bats upon completion.

Made right here in Gippsland: Clare Johnston hard at work on a soon to be completed bat. The entire bat making process takes around eight hours.

Having been crafting for a few years now, Johnston is hoping to take what is currently a side venture further.

“I’ve made a few bats over the last five years that I’ve been making them,” she said.

“I’ve made some for the women’s cricket teams, one of the young Victorian cricketers, and for a few blokes around the place.

“Now I’m hoping to settle here in Gippsland and make a bit more of a business out of it, I work full time and do this part time, if I can get the bats out there I’d really like to share them with people and if people want to see how a bat is made I’m happy to show that to people.”

Playing for the Mirboo North Cricket Club women’s team, Johnston has noticed a void of bats made specifically for women - something she was eager to help change.

“There is not many women cricket bats out there and that is something I’d really love to work with girls to make better bats for them,” she said.

“We are physiologically different, our muscles are slightly different, so I’d really love to understand that more and work with people to work out what it is that we need to help us.”

Looking at bats throughout history, Johnston can remember a few famous examples, and still has one that is perhaps the most recognised blade from yesteryear - the Gray Nicolls Scoop.

From there a number of innovations in bats have come and gone, with the mid to late 2000s possibly the peak period where bat manufacturers were sent

Page 36 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 23 February, 2022

into overdrive with concepts such as graphite and carbon fibre handles.

Although cricket bat these days seem to be made of 10 per cent wood and 90 per cent stickers, Johnston said the same principles when selecting a bat remained.

“Depending on how much you are willing to pay, I think trying to get a straight grain (between eight to 12 grains) and the feel of the bat are most important,” she said.

“If you go out there and understand what it is you like, don’t just go and buy one off the internet, really look for a good piece of timber in the cleft, and see if the handle feels good in your grip.

“It is better to have a nice feeling bat because if it doesn’t feel comfortable you are going to feel awkward playing.”

Those with no or limited interest in cricket may be thinking ‘it is just a piece of wood’, but to millions of devotees worldwide, the bat is the one piece of equipment that demands the most scrutiny.

It was said Victor Trumper could pick up any old bat and play equally well with it, however for most players, weight distribution, shape and profile are all important factors in determining which bat suits an individual game.

Truthfully, the bat should be a trusted ally for the player. After all, your bat is going to be by your side in the heat of battle.

Cricket bat ownership transcends further - it can teach kids’ lessons in responsibility as a bat

is often the first real possession of value they may have paid for themselves.

For any youngster, there is surely no greater sense of pride than saving up your pennies and buying a brand new cricket bat.

Those looking at the stickers on the bats Johnston creates might recognise the name ‘de Lacy’.

Those in the sports writing game will certainly recognise the name, for the de Lacy in de Lacy Cricket is in fact Hector de Lacy, the famed AFL journalist and direct relative of Johnston.

“My great uncle was Hector de Lacy and he was a sports reporter for The Sporting Globe,” she said.

“He’s recognised in the Hall of Fame at the AFL for his sports writing.

“He taught my dad to play cricket and gave him all his cricket gear and then my dad taught me, so there is a strong tradition of De Lacy’s with cricket.

“It is a bit of a homage to that tradition. The purple, red and gold is the family arms.”

A true sports reporter, de Lacy was noted for his controversial style, and even banned from some VFL clubs, which made him one of the most widely read journalists of his time.

In the 1940s, he campaigned for an increase to player payments, who at the time were earning three pound a week.

Just as de Lacy had helped footballers, Johnston is helping cricketers some 80 years later.

“Bat making is a beautiful tradition and I’m just really happy to have the chance to do it,” she said.

“There are very few of us, I don’t believe I am the only woman in Australia, there has to be somebody else who makes cricket bats, but I feel very privileged to be one of those few women in the world that do make them.

“It is definitely an art form, not many people do it … I don’t know why but I would certainly recommend it as a really nice way to connect to an old craft and to understand how a bat works.”

LATROBE Valley Hockey Association conducted their yearly roadshows on February 14-18.

With the help of Hockey Victoria coach Alan Sutherland the volunteers travelled to Hazelwood North, Narracan, Albert Street, Yallourn North and Traralgon South Primary schools to conduct introductory skills and games sessions for the children.

This program is run free of cost on behalf of Hockey Victoria and is responsible for the majority of the new junior sign-ups for the year.

The children played games and practiced skills like dribbling and tackling.

Children are now encouraged to come along to the Hookin2Hockey program that is being run on Thursday nights at the synthetic field in Churchill.

The program is open for all primary aged children. It begins at 5pm and the first session is free.

The first 20 children to sign up receive a free participant pack.

Local Cups Day is a winner HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

MOE played host to the Local Cups and Community Race Day on Sunday.

The annual day was headlined by the running of seven country cups, representing seven towns in the Central Gippsland region.

Picture perfect conditions attracted racegoers, who did not have to wait too long for what would be the day’s most dominant winner.

Arctic Stone belied her $11 starting price with an emphatic three-length win in the Moe Refrigeration Churchill Cup (1628m).

The four-year-old daughter of Nicconi was ridden

by Irish jockey Robbie Downey, who sealed a first Cup success with his fifth win since relocating Down Under.

Jockey Beau Mertens enjoyed a successful afternoon with a riding double in the space of 40 minutes.

Mertens produced an inch-perfect ride to get The Midnight Shift home in the Morwell Bowling Club Morwell Cup (2447m).

The Rating 58 event proved a battle of the fittest with the Clayton Douglas-trained charge edging

Sunday recovery: Patrons took the opportunity to relax at the Moe Racing Club meeting. out Earl of Kendal by a nose, with Bequester a further short half-head away.

Gold Ollie ($7) was a stylish winner of the Natures Cargo Yarragon Cup (1628m).

The Darryl Blackshaw-trained charge is always tough to beat when in Rating 58 company and so it showed as he rattled home to beat Little Richie Turf ($21) by 1 ½ lengths.

Favourite backers went home happy after the

well-supported Bush Christmas ($2.50fav) won the Ladbrokes Warragul Cup (1217m).

The success continued a good recent run for trainer Brian McGrath and jockey Matthew Cartwright, who tasted victory at Moonee Valley two days prior aboard Yulong Command.

Another jockey in a good run of form is Latrobe Valley product Jason Benbow, who combined with trainer Kasey Wilson and Magic Drum to take out the LV Drafting Yallourn North Cup (1017m).

The win was the first of the career for the fouryear-old gelding by Magic Albert, owned by Wilson.

The John Kerr Real Estate Trafalgar Cup went back to Cranbourne as Mystery Eclipse ($3.30fav) held off Collison in the 1117m contest.

Mark down Top Honours as a horse to follow after he produced a good effort to win the Merchant Family Butchers Newborough Cup (1217m).

A three-year-old from the Ken and Kasey Keys stable, Top Honours ($4) beat home Tipungwuti ($4.20) in an event that promises to be a good form race.

Ben Allen rode Top Honours to score what was his first win from seven starts, having previously finished second at Mornington and Cranbourne at the back end of last preparation.

Community minded: Moe Racing Club hosted Yellow Day For CFA, raising money for local brigades at its Sunday meeting. Pictured are Connor, Makayla and Jason St John along with Michael Jonkers, Heather Savige and Randall Cruickshank of the Westbury CFA.

THIS month marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Rosedale Speedway.

A crowd of 3753 motor sports fans attended the opening meeting of the new raceway on February 27, 1972.

Feature races were won by Rosedale’s Ken Taylor in an EH Holden and Morwell’s Graeme Monds in a Mark II Zephyr.

Speedway boomed in Gippsland in the 1960s and 70s with tracks opening at Nyora, Garfield, Moe, Morwell, Rosedale, Bairnsdale, Nowa Nowa and briefly at Heyfield. A track was later constructed at Drouin. Today four remain: Nyora, Drouin, Rosedale and Bairnsdale.

Following the closure of the Rosedale horse racing club in 1969, which had operated for a century, a group of local motorsports enthusiasts set about building a speedway at the venue in 1971.

Led by Traralgon business proprietor, Dave Williams, the new club set about constructing the one-third mile oval track.

Existing buildings at the racecourse, including the administration block, grandstand, canteen, and broadcast and judge’s boxes were incorporated into the new facility.

The then wooden track fence was partially completed for the inaugural meeting, with an open area in the back straight.

The wooden retaining wall was subsequently replaced by a concrete structure.

Speedway racing proved popular with large crowds attending the monthly Sunday afternoon meetings.

Lighting was installed in 1979 and the venue switched to Saturday night programs.

Further upgrades have been undertaken over the years, including a new surface, catchment fence and race control centre.

A year after opening, the track attracted the best modified production sedan drivers in Australia for the annual two-day Coca Cola Classic. The race was first won by Australian champion, David House, from Canberra driving an XU1 Torana. House won the race again in 1975.

In 1980, the track hosted the Australian Sedan Championship, won by Queensland driver, Arthur Wiedon, driving a Ford Cortina.

It was the first of four national titles that the Toowoomba driver would win.

In the 1970s and 80s, Rosedale was one of the premier venues for speedway sedan racing in Australia with the annual Coca-Cola Classic and Trader’s Derby attracting competitors from across the nation.

Rosedale hosted another Australian title in 2003 when Stephen Laidlaw successfully defended his national Production Sedan championship in his VK Commodore.

The track has also been the venue for many Victorian championships over the past five decades.

Sixteen-year-old Kevin Andrews, now a federal MP, was the course commentator for the first meeting, a role he filled for much of the first decade of racing.

He was also the race caller at Glenmaggie Speedboat Racing and Wattle Speedway among other venues in the 1970s and 80s.

Racing returned to Rosedale in January following COVID restrictions and wet weather with local driver Daniel Stewart winning the Col Smith Memorial for standard saloons.

Junior cricket season heats up Valley teams eye Kendall Cup CRICKET

SOCCER

JUNIOR cricket finals have commenced in the Traralgon District Cricket Association.

A few teams have already made junior grand finals, with combatants of the Under15 decider pencilled in.

It will be an Ex Students derby on Sunday at Catterick Crescent, with the scorebook to read Ex Students versus Ex Students Bull Sharks.

TDCA Under-12 semi-finals were played on Monday night and saw Ex Students Hammerheads play Glengarry and Gormandale go up against Ex Students Great Whites.

Results were not known when The Express went to press.

The Under-12 decider will be played on Monday, February 28 at Jack Maskrey Oval, Traralgon West.

In the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League, two rounds remain in the regular season for the Under-16, Under-14 and Under-12 age groups.

Finals begin on Sunday, March 6.

LATROBE Valley Soccer League clubs Fortuna 60 and Morwell Pegasus will play in the Kendall Cup this Saturday.

Hosted by Sale United Football Club, the cup will see 14 teams in attendance, with eight men’s teams and six women’s teams vying to be crowned champions, making it the biggest Kendall Cup since its inception back in 1991.

Reigning men’s champions Bayside Argonauts are back and will be trying to win their third title in a row.

Newcomers Sandown Lions FC, Leongatha SC and Inverloch SC are all looking at making the final while the 2021 runners-up, East Gippsland United FC are hoping to go that one step further.

Past winners Fortuna 60 SC and Morwell Pegasus, who are the inaugural champions, have made a welcome return to the tournament while Sale United will be anticipating a memorable tournament with the inclusion of Jamie Kendall’s nephew, Zach Kendall, in the squad.

Sale United lead a quality field of women’s teams with Bayside United NPL U19s, Fortuna 60, East Gippsland United FC, Tyers Lightning SC and Leongatha SC all pushing to make the finals.

Captain steers Ships to victory CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

COMPETITORS in the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League are on the home stretch.

A number of positions on the Premier A and A Grade ladder could still be shuffled before final placings are solidified in three weeks’ time.

Teams holding ambitions of taking their campaigns deep might be approaching the remaining three regular season games and two finals much like a five Test series - win at least one of the first three Tests to stay in the hunt and then win the Fourth and Fifth test to win the premiership.

TRAFALGAR pulled off a miracle against Moe in A Grade.

The Ships needed 129 off the last 90 balls at Ted Summerton Reserve, and got them in the last over.

Earlier in the day the Lions posted 7/253, led

by Riley Baldi who torched 121 from 104 balls at the top of the order. The man known as Eagle soared high, whacking three sixes and 10 fours in his onslaught, highlighted by an incredible six over long off that took shot of the day honours.

As if making a ton couldn’t be any better, the youngster brought up three figures on his 21st birthday.

Moe skipper Pat Spiteri added to the total with an unbeaten 46, as he and Ash Savige hit and ran late to get the score past 250.

Aydan Connolly took 2/34 and Rhys Holdsworth 2/36 for Trafalgar.

The Ships took a steady approach in response, and at the halfway mark was 4/83.

While they were probably 20 or so runs behind where they wanted to be, Trafalgar was able to stay alive by the fact singles were on offer and there was a very short boundary on the South Street Primary School side.

Jackson Noonan was promoted from nine to six and responded with a swashbuckling 86 from 76 balls, combining with Holdsworth in a 156-run stand for the fifth wicket.

At the 30-over mark the Ships had got the equation down to just over a run-a-ball, and were looking to target a few overs to go big toward the back end.

Trafalgar got the big overs they were after, and as is often the case when momentum is all with one side, it felt as though Holdsworth and Noonan were in total control of what was happening.

Come the final over, the Ships needed two to win and Holdsworth brought up the win with a square drive through backward point.

The captain produced when his team needed him most and ended on 104 not out, arguably the finest of his eight hundreds in a Trafalgar shirt.

Ash Savige proved a handful with the ball, finishing with the extraordinary figures of 2/17 from 10 overs with four maidens. Royce Colgrave hit some very good areas in his opening spell and ended with 2/46.

The win narrows the gap between Moe and Trafalgar, with the Lions on top of the A Grade ladder by four points.

For Trafalgar players, it was a victory that some of them may well remember when they are 80-yearold men either playing lawn bowls or needing to have their meals mushed into a paste.

MIRBOO North dented Latrobe’s finals aspirations in Premier A. While the Sharks remain in the top four, the repercussions of dropping a game to the bottom side means they are only one point clear of fifth placed CATS. Latrobe was asked to have a hit on the Mirboo North turf, and found runs from skipper Benn Zomer who made 61 and Ronnie Chokununga who made a run-a-ball 49.

Navin Gomez also chipped in with 26 not out and Mick Zomer scored an unbeaten 32 upon answering a Sharks SOS to help the team.

Before last Saturday, the senior Zomer had not played an A Grade match for Latrobe since October 2013, with that appearance in fact the only game in the top flight he has been listed in during the MyCricket era.

How quickly time has flown since then was surely evident when he combined with son Benn in putting on 63 for the fifth wicket to see the Sharks close at 5/200.

Luke Corry took 2/60 for Mirboo North, while Anton Thomas returned economical figures of 1/23 off 10 overs, with three maidens.

A 109-run partnership for the second wicket between Zach Hollis and Clinton Wise set a solid platform for the Tigers in their pursuit of the total.

Like Zomer, Wise also showed that playing cricket can be much like riding a bike, as he made 42 in what was his first A Grade game since March 2015.

Standing tall: Trafalgar captain Rhys Holdsworth made an unbeaten 104 last Saturday, leading the Ships to an incredible win over Moe. file photograph Hollis scored 66, with his knock featuring three sixes, before a pulsating finish saw Mirboo North hit the winning runs with an over to spare.

Gomez took 3/27 and Tyron Gamage 2/51 to be Latrobe’s leading lights with the ball.

MORWELL kept its post-bye winning record intact.

While most teams in the LVDCL have struggled after having the bye, the Tigers have not lost a game since their forced break three weeks ago.

The Tigers won a competitive match against CATS last Saturday at Keegan Street.

After electing to bowl first, Morwell saw their opponents close at 5/206.

Nathan Harrup made a fine 76 and CATS skipper Ben Julin scored 65, backing up the good work up top by Jamie Cochrane who made 45.

Harrup and Julin put on 113 for the third wicket, with their partnership essentially getting CATS to 200.

Dylan Day took his season wicket aggregate to 20 following figures of 3/46.

Morwell calculated the chase well, securing the points with three overs left and five wickets in the shed.

A captain’s knock of 72 not out from Jordan Campbell led the way, while Blair Clymo made 56 and Blake Mills 40.

Campbell and Clymo put on 102 for the fifth wicket, extending on a 50 run stand between Clymo and Mills earlier in the piece.

Sam Hoch and Tinashe Panyangara took a pair of wickets each for CATS. CHURCHILL continued like clockwork.

Not only did the Cobras win again, they yet again secured a bonus point - this time against Raiders.

Raiders opted to bowl first on their home deck, and dismissed Churchill for 194.

Brendan Mason top-scored with 66 and found support from Steve Warr and Nick Duncan who made 29 and 25 respectively.

Wickets were shared among the Raiders bowlers.

Madura Perera (2/26), Olly McColl (2/28), Harry McColl (2/45) and Jeevan Varghese (2/45) all chiming in.

In reply, Perera scored a productive 52 from 71 balls and Mick Higgins added 39 of his own, but in the finish, a scorecard that showed only one other player reach double figures told the story for Raiders, who closed at 9/140.

Matt Harvey took 3/31 with his left arm orthodox and John Keighran 2/11.

Churchill remains on top of the ladder, six points clear from Morwell.

TRARALGON West had an easy win against Jeeralang-Boolarra.

The Panthers only win came at the toss when they elected to have hit at Jack Canavan Oval.

The joy was short-lived however, as JeeralangBoolarra was shot out for just 79 in under 40 overs.

Only three players made it to double figures, with extras the equal top score.

Leg spinner Adam Thow was near unplayable, taking 3/17 from 10 overs with six maidens.

Eagles’ heart-and-soul Tim Fitch ended with 4/10 and Hayden Kimpton 2/17.

Traralgon West made it an early day, getting the runs before the first drinks break, only losing two wickets on the way.

Salman Rasool hit 35 not out and Kimpton 27.

CENTRALS had the bye.

Finals bid gains momentum

CRICKET TDCA

AN Alistair Jenkin masterclass was something to behold at Stoddart Oval as Glengarry took down a Gormandale team coming off four wins in a row.

Winning the toss and batting first the Magpies lost Frank Marks early but quickly rebounded with Jenkin and Nat Freitag putting on 37 for the second wicket before Luke Henderson had Freitag caught behind.

This brought Sam Marks to the crease who together with Jenkin batted beautifully as they took their time to build a very good partnership of

ROVERS v YARRAM & DISTRICT Rovers Innings

On target: Lee Stockdale played a starring role for Ex Students on Saturday, taking four wickets during the Sharks big win against Imperials. file photograph 142 before Marks was out to Adam Brady for 49.

Gormandale didn’t help themselves as some fielding errors cost them dearly but Jenkin made the most of his opportunities and continued to score steadily, finally raising his bat for a well made hundred, eventually being dismissed for 122 from just 150 balls.

As far as one day hundreds go it was one for the purists as he thought through the innings incredibly well and never allowed himself to be bogged down. Glengarry lost a couple more wickets before their 50 overs came to a close, ending up 5/222.

Needing big runs against the new ball it was panic stations early for Gormandale as Nat Campbell was dismissed on the first ball of the innings and then Matt Hibbs followed the next over and the Tigers were 2/3.

Chris Lehner and Campbell Peavey set about rebuilding the innings and managed a 40 run partnership before Peavey departed.

James Jacobsen, Dylan Freitag and Adam Brady all came and went and Gormandale were in dire need of someone to stop the wickets from falling.

Luckily for Gormandale, Lehner was set at the other end while the carnage continued up the other, raising his bat for a half-century in the process.

A partnership with Luke Henderson of 38 got the score over a hundred but the damage had been done with the Tigers all out for 117 with Lehner the only batsman to stand tall making a well compiled 75 from 101 balls.

Hamish Busk returned the best figures for Glengarry as he claimed 3/16, but the day belonged to Jenkin, who on top of making a superb hundred also took 2/31 from 10 overs.

Glengarry continue to power on into the finals while Gormandale are getting hit with injuries which is slowing up their momentum.

With Yarram breathing down the Tigers neck its crucial that they get the win next week to guarantee a finals berth.

Ex Students v Imperials

EX Students have put a full stop on Imperials season, beating them by eight wickets in Imps last match for the season due to the bye being next week for the Devils.

Imperials batted first, but as Ex Students do they got breakthroughs with the new ball early as Ryan Morley was dismissed for just four.

Shaun Boyes and Brad Sizeland went soon after and it looked like trouble was brewing for the boys in red and blue.

Help came in the form of Tuan Abdeen and Ross Williams who made 37 and 20 respectively, taking the total up to 100 before the Sharks circled the tail and quickly had Imperials all out for 115 from 46 overs.

Lee Stockdale was the best bowler for Ex Students as he took 4/27 from 10 overs while Andy Matthews claimed 2/18 with the new ball, bringing up his 400th club wicket in the process.

Ex Students then went out aiming to claim the bonus point and chased down Imps total in the 24th over.

Stockdale made 21 and Matt Dyke got 12, both being dismissed by Ross Williams.

It was Matt Robertson (46 not out) and Jimmy Pryde (25 not out) who guided the team home in a convincing win.

Ex Students now take on Gormandale in the last round of the season while Imperials will eagerly wait to see if Williams holds on to top spot of the bowling aggregate next week in a season which has been brilliant by the veteran.

TOONGABBIE had the bye.

Students defeated in Cup final

CRICKET KOOKABURRA CUP

By LIAM DURKIN

STRATFORD won the inaugural Kookaburra Gippsland T20 Smash competition on Sunday.

The Redbacks defeated Traralgon and District Cricket Association club Ex Students in the final by 10 runs at Traralgon Recreation Reserve.

Batting first, Stratford closed at 8/132 from its allotted 20 overs.

Jack Rietschel set a strong platform with 31 from 22 balls opening the batting, while Rohan Diamond scored a busy 41 from 34 balls Diamond, from Rosedale-Kilmany, was one of four ‘marquee’ players permitted to play for Stratford under competition rules.

The other three were Bundalaguah pair Matt Dowsett and Nathan Whitford, as well as Wy Yung’s Steve Bertino.

IT IS down to five clubs vying for a top four spot in the TDCA as Yarram & District made a statement while Ex Students and Glengarry flexed their muscle in Round 13.

YARRAM & District have made a big statement announcing that they aren’t done yet and should not be underestimated as they make a late charge for a finals spot.

In a one-sided affair on Saturday, Yarram won the toss and as they usually choose to do sent the opposition in to bat which proved to pay dividends as Rovers were quickly in trouble at 3/15.

Rovers have been getting out of trouble this season when in this situation mainly due to their skipper Dougal Williams getting in and getting to work, but an injury has kept Williams out of the team and unfortunately for Rovers they lacked that fighting spirit that he provides and quickly went from 3/15 to 6/44 and their innings was looking dire.

This was due largely to Kelly Griffiths who has been able to use the momentum of his man of the match performance in last season’s B Grade grand final to quickly become a top new ball bowler for the Pelicans.

After Griffiths rattled the top order it was Ant Scott who then picked apart Rovers middle, claiming the only Rovers batsmen to show some fight in Tyler Pearce and Tyler Reynolds who both tried their best to stabilise the innings.

It wasn’t long until it was all over for Rovers, dismissed for 81 in the 35th over with only Pearce getting a good start, top scoring with 22.

Yarram & District bowlers were clinical, not only bowling very economically and not giving away extras but being able to take wickets in clumps and applying pressure throughout the entire innings.

Griffiths was superb ending up with match figures of 4/18 from 8.4 overs while Scott took 3/10 off five overs.

Rovers needed a miracle and may have thought they had a sniff when Pelicans opener Matthew Garland was out for a duck with the score on four.

It wasn’t to be though as Pelicans captain Scott joined Brett Pedlow in the middle and went about dispatching the Rovers bowlers who were missing both Dougal Williams and Simon Duff who are their top wicket takers.

Pedlow showed his class making 33 not out from just 27 balls, but it was Scott who returned to his earlier season form as he blasted an unbeaten 43 from just 26 balls which included nine boundaries.

For Rovers, they have a chance to finish on a high next week as they face Toongabbie who are coming off the bye, but for Yarram & District whose percentage has jumped massively from this round’s victory, may only need a bonus point against Glengarry next weekend as long as Ex Students beat Gormandale convincingly to get into the finals for the first time.

TDCA SCOREBOARD

Raiders), Ewan Williams (Rovers) and Sam Batson (Western Park) as its marquee players.

Williams took 3/13 for the Sharks.

In reply, Keighran and Lee Stockdale put on 59 for the first wicket, before Dowsett turned the game on its head with a double wicket strike.

Nathan French completed a stumping to see the back of Keighran, and then Batson was judged leg before wicket first ball.

The game changer however came from an incredible direct-hit run out from Diamond at midwicket that saw Stockdale short of his ground after he had made his way to 47 from 42 balls and looked to be the most crucial wicket for Stratford to take.

From there, the Redbacks were able to stay ahead of the game by forcing the Sharks to hit to fielders patrolling the fence.

Some great catching added to the Stratford performance, with Whitford taking a well judge grab on the long on boundary and Ben Channing holding onto a full blooded pull from Maynard at deep square leg.

Ex Students took the chase right to the last over, and sent a shiver down the spine of some in the Redbacks camp when the equation became 13 off three.

However, Stratford closed the game out and were able to secure the title.

Dowsett took 2/21 and Rietschel nabbed 2/24.

Whitford was named player of the match for his economical figures of 1/18 off four.

The Kookaburra Gippsland T20 Smash was instigated this season by Ex Students Cricket Club as an exciting new initiative to help fill the void of representative cricket following the cancellation of Country Week and the shortened Gippsland Cricket League season.

As well as Stratford and Ex Students, eight clubs from across Gippsland took part: Maffra, Collegians, Toongabbie, Morwell, Koonwarra/RSL and Leongatha Imperials.

SWIMMING

THE Traralgon Swimming Club returned from the Victorian Country Swimming Championships in Mildura with a raft of individual and relay medals, records and knowing that it took the might of the Geelong regional area to break its 17-year winning streak.

The club had a fantastic tussle over three days with Geelong, however the end result was an outstanding second place by 124 points and just missing the boys trophy by 18 points (equivalent to one silver medal).

The consolation prize for Traralgon was that Geelong is now coached by ex-Traralgon swimmer and Australian representative Sam Ashby.

Overall, Traralgon’s swimmers won 17 gold, 14 silver and 12 bronze medals.

In the team relay events this is where the club showed its dominance, winning 13 out of 22 relays and adding a silver and two bronze to the total.

Senior head coach Brian Ford was proud of the team.

“Whilst we finished second to an excellent Geelong team we carry our heads high and are extremely proud of our achievements,” he said.

“In the water we could not have asked for more. A number of swimmers competed in up to 30 events over three days with heats, finals and relay performances whilst others turned in personal bests under hot and challenging conditions.

“Our relays were brilliant as we showed dominance across all age groups and a fierce desire to up hold the club’s tradition as the ‘Relay Club’.

“Out of the water our parents and supporters were consistently loud and proud with over the top support.

“The camaraderie amongst the team was first rate and encouragement for each other a testament to the

Class: Traralgon Swimming Club had a successful time at the Victorian Country Championships in Mildura. photograph contributed ‘can do’ culture in the club. Finally, the success of our swimmers is the result of some amazing hard work by our coaches Dean Gooch and Cam Juha, who prepared the swimmers impeccably.”

Traralgon now moves forward with the Gippsland Championships at the end of February at Warragul, defending its title of premier Gippsland club since 2000.

Given that four Gippsland teams finished in the top 10 teams at the Country Championships, the racing and competition will be hot over the three days from this Friday to Sunday.

Club experiences sprint success SWIMMING

THE Traralgon Swimming Club recently competed in the Victorian Sprint Championships held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Melbourne.

Thirty-seven swimmers raced in 50 metre events across all strokes against the best in Victoria, with Traralgon coming away with three gold, three silver and four bronze medals.

With 45 top 10 finishes this was an outstanding result for the swimmers given it was the first major meet back since all competitions were closed down during COVID. Individual medal winners were: Kayla Wilson (15) - MC. Gold: 50 Fly, 50 Free. Silver: 50 Back, 50 Breast.

Olivia Baillie (14) - Gold: 50 Back.

Ash Nicholes (15) - Silver: 50 Free.

Traralgon shines at championships

Showtime has arri BASKETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND United has welcomed a major signing ahead of its inaugural season, with American import Brandon Armstrong joining the squad.

The new kids on the block are set to benefit from having Armstrong in the line-up as Gippsland United looks to make its way in the BigV competition.

Those looking after marketing at Gippsland United must also be excited about the prospect of having someone as famous as Armstrong now part of the club.

If ever a club wanted to raise its profile, Armstrong would be the man to do it - he has 1.5 million Instagram followers and just as many on Facebook.

His on court impersonations of NBA players on YouTube have gained widespread attention, with a number of videos attracting more than 10 million views - some even by the players being mimicked.

An aspect that has possibly made the impersonations appear all the more realistic is the fact Armstrong has played at the top level himself.

The now 41-year-old enjoyed a 108-game career in the NBA for the New Jersey (now Brooklyn) Nets after being taken by the Houston Rockets in the 2001 draft.

The larger-than-life Armstrong has already dived into the local basketball scene, and was courtside to see Traralgon win the recent Country

Basketball League grand final, coached by the man who helped bring him out to Australia in Reece Hamriding.

“I’m excited to be here, my agent Reece said it’s the team for me, I hadn’t played ball in Australia for three years so I’m super excited,” he said.

“Last time I was here was for Melbourne Uni, but I’m super excited to be here in Traralgon just because it’s more of a family community, Melbourne Uni was just a university so we really didn’t have that many people at the games, it was very empty, here it is a community, everybody knows everyone.

“I like it, everyone is nice, I feel like I’ve already been here that’s how accepted I feel.”

While on court results are yet to materialise, Gippsland United shouldn’t have any problem creating an inclusive and enjoyable environment thanks to Armstrong’s effervescent and upbeat personality.

Sporting an infectious smile and using a range of somewhat forgotten slang words, it is clear the new recruit can hardly contain his excitement about lining up as point guard for Gippsland United.

“Heck-yeah, first time they’ve had a team so I’m super excited and appreciate them for giving me an opportunity to show my skills,” he said.

“The facility (Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium) is dope, second to none man! Looking forward to playing in the arena.

“Basketball culture in Australia is

super-sick, I mean it is supeer-dope, it is what everyone knows - basketball.”

An interview with a former NBA player wouldn’t be hem complete without asking th to name drop a few people they t h, have rubbed shoulders with, and Armstrong was happy to oblige.

“I’m really good friends with Andre Drummond, Steph Curry is one of my good friends, Spencer Denwiddie, James Harden, I can go down the line, but mostly Andre Drummond and Torrey Craig,” he said.

“My advice would be to keeep playing, stay in the gym, keeep your encouragement up and d just work hard.

“You see guys like Josh Giddey, G Ben Simmons, Dante Exum, Pa atty Mills from Australia get a chance, therre is plenty of opportunities. king for “America is definitely look Australian hopefuls.”

As it prepares to make itss debut in BigV, Gippsland United willl be hoping Armstrong, along with wom men’s import Mackenzie Miller, will be ab ble to help all in the region. forge a new era of basketba If talking was a contest A Armstrong would take some beating, b but with the season now on the horizon, the new recruit will be eager to show that actions do indeed speak louder than words.

Happy to be here: Gippsland United import Brandon Armstrong will join the team following a more than 100-game NBA career.

Pies and Hawks in Morwell on Friday HAWTHORN and Collingwood will come to Morwell Recreation Reserve this Friday.

The Hawks and Magpies are scheduled to play a practise match as part of the AFL’s unofficial fixture ahead of the AAMI Community Series.

Gippsland has a strong connection to both clubs, with current Hawthorn players Changkuoth Jiath and Jai Newcombe hailing from Morwell and Poowong respectively, while Collingwood captain

and games record holder Scott Pendlebury grew up in Sale.

The links do not stop on the field, with Hawthorn’s VFL affiliate Box Hill coached by former Drouin player Clinton Proctor.

The match will present a homecoming for Jiath especially, who played for Morwell Football-Netball Club before making his way to Hawthorn.

Jiath, one of the AFL’s most exciting young players, recently signed a two-year contract extension with the Hawks.

one of the feel-good stories of the AFL last season after being taken in the mid-season draft, completing a meteoric rise that saw him set the record for the most number of tackles for an AFL debutant.

Newcombe, who was once a mere mortal under the school captaincy of The Express’ police reporter Alyssa Fritzlaff, said the group was looking forward to venturing down to Morwell.

“It will be nice, I spent a bit of time there with Power, it will be good to get back down there,” he said.

“There is a few boys from the area so it is a bit of a homecoming for not just me but a couple of others, it will be nice to get back down and see some familiar faces and hopefully have a good day.”

Having defeated 2021 grand finalist Western Bulldogs, top four side Brisbane Lions and had a draw with recent powerhouse Richmond to end the previous season, Newcombe said the Hawks had hit this year’s pre-season with a lot of momentum.

“To finish off the way we did we take a lot of positives into the pre-season and the year ahead, hopefully we can build on it,” he said.

“Improvement is always the ultimate goal, after finishing the way we did the last thing we want to do is go backwards from where we are so improvement is front of mind with everything that is going on at the moment.

“For me it would be nice to break into the side and cement my spot, play some consistent footy and hopefully put some good performances together.”

Newcombe underwent a very unconventional pathway to the AFL and hit the headlines in the lead-up to his debut after it was revealed he had never played a game for Gippsland Power.

The Poowong local was overlooked in his 16th, 17th and 18th years at Power, making the grade as an over-age player in 2020, only for the season to be cancelled due to COVID. Amazingly, before Box Hill, his only senior experience was playing for Poowong on the fields of the Ellinbank and District Football League.

Any youngster that is disheartened about not making the cut for a rep team could perhaps look at Newcombe as a case in point to what can be achieved through patience and persistence.

The man himself had some advice.

“Stick through what you love and keep following your passion,” he said.

“If you have the drive and think you’ve got the ability don’t give up, keep working hard and make the most of the opportunities that come your way.”

For those that are still disheartened, just think Adrian Burgiel never played for Gippsland Power.
