ST PATRICK’S DAY IN THE VALLEY PAGE 2

Investor confidence: Member for Morwell Russell Northe with Rennie Property principal Peter Rennie and sales agent Mary Ioannou alongside the newly-sold site for the Morwell Food Manufacturing Precinct.

$15 MILLION DOLLAR BABY

A FORMER Hazelwood Power Station engineer has purchased 97 hectares in Morwell for $15 million to lure new industries to the Valley as part of a longawaited food manufacturing precinct.

The parcel of land on the corner of Princes Drive and Alexanders Road sits next to Bega Cheese and will be

divided into 44 lots for commercial and industrial development.

The project had already attracted a $10 million state government windfall to install infrastructure such as sewage, electricity and site access to fast track the development.

Latrobe City had also previously issued planning approvals for new industrial lots in 2011 but the site has sat dormant

for years awaiting development. The precinct has the potential to support 1700 ongoing manufacturing jobs once up and running.

Developer and purchaser John Alom said he hoped for civil works to start by the end of next year, pending the submission and approval of detailed designs.

Mr Alom said he formed a connection

to Morwell when he picked up work as a Hazelwood intern in 2005 after he relocated from Bangladesh, stating it was his first taste of regional Australia.

The now Melbourne-based developer said he was looking forward to working with Latrobe City and the community to attract industries to the site.

Valley celebrates St Patrick’s Day

By LIAM DURKIN

THERE was only one place to be on St Patrick’s Day. Flanagan’s Irish Bar, Traralgon was appropriately decked out in a sea of green, as locals came to celebrate all things Ireland.

While Christmas Eve is ordinarily the busiest day of the year for most pubs, for Flanagan’s, nothing comes close to St Patrick’s Day. Patrons enjoyed a pint of Guinness at the bar, while others would have surely found themselves listening to some Celtic tunes throughout the day.

As there is a large percentage of Australians having at least some Irish ancestry, St Patrick’s Day has given people an opportunity to embrace their family history and connections to the Emerald Isle.

Morwell resident Steve Murphy was at Flanagan’s on St Patrick’s Day. Mr Murphy, who came to Australia from County

Cork in 1965, looks forward to St Patrick’s Day every year, so much so he even wrote a poem commemorating Flanagan’s: On the 17th of March in a Gippsland town There is a venue of renown Where people come from near and far To celebrate St Patrick’s Day at Flanagan’s Bar They come from Moe, Morwell and Yinnar To share a drink at Flanagan’s Bar Come along and have a jar Everyone’s welcome at Flanagan’s Bar So to this wonderful venue, this Celtic bar I raise my glass and say ‘Sláinte Mhath’ Sláinte Mhath’, pronounced ‘slanj-a-va’, is the Irish equivalent of cheers.

Irish names have proven to be both popular and safe choices for parents naming their children over the decades.

While there are many names of Irish origin, there can be little doubt Liam tops the list.

Moving on: Gippsland Trades and Labour Council secretary Steve Dodd and local worker Tom Murphy reflect on the success of the Hazelwood worker transition service. photograph michelle slater

By MICHELLE SLATER

A SERVICE set up to help former Hazelwood workers find new jobs when the power station closed in 2017 has wound to a close.

The Hazelwood Worker Transition Service came to an end in December after it had been administered by the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council (GTLC) in partnership with the state government.

According to GTLC figures, 80 per cent of the 750 of workers from Hazelwood who accessed the service had moved into some sort of new employment- either permanent or contract.

It retrained 1484 Hazelwood permanent, casual and contract workers and issued 2814 accredited qualifications.

The service was then expanded for redundant workers in other industries including Carter Holt Harvey, ASH Heyfield timber mill, Brancourts cheese factory, ViPlus dairy and Nilsen (Electrical).

“In real terms, the stats add up. We’ve always prided ourselves when we work with people from this region. It’s always been about transitioning people to the next job,” GTLC secretary Steve Dodd said.

“We have a handle on where the jobs are in the region and this is how we structure our training.

Our training is nationally accredited so they are portable to the next employer.

“Unfortunately, employers in the region had provided training but not a lot was accredited, so once they walked out the gate these skills were not recognised by other employers.”

Retraining included tickets in construction and rail inductions, confined spaces, heights, asbestos removal, forklifts and heavy rigid truck licences.

The GTLC is now focusing on training culturally and linguistically diverse locals and young people

to help find them work. Mr Dodd said the GTLC delivered mental health and social connections through peer-to-peer support.

This was particularly important for those who had begun their apprenticeships with the SEC and worked at Hazelwood until its sudden closure.

“We saw Hazelwood workers from day one. That company had no concern for the workers in the region, we were handed a sh** sandwich and had to deal with it,” Mr Dodd said.

“There is no bigger pleasure for us then to see someone get a job and move on with their life. We will continue to have an open door policy here at the GTLC for workers and families.”

Former Hazelwood casual Tom Murphy worked in mine maintenance, including through the 2014 mine fire, but was unemployed when the station closed.

He said the transition service helped train him to pick up work on various outages and driving trucks.

“The closure affected me as there was not enough work around, as when it closed it made it more competitive to get a job. But it’s been brighter recently,” Mr Murphy said.

“For a long time my mental health was not really good, but coming here helped keep my mind focussed on getting work. I could come in for a coffee and they let me know what was coming up.”

Mr Dodd said the real challenge for the region was to establish new industries to mitigate the effects of further on-coming coal closures.

But he said this needed bi-partisan support from all sides of governments, employers and unions.

“I wish people would stop talking about it and get on with it, all we see is people talk and write reports on it. There needs to be industry development and we need to be in on it,” Mr Dodd said.

“When I saw the opportunity for developing the food precinct, I was really excited. People will be excited to see something being developed and not just a site sitting empty,” Mr Alom said.

“Food can be processed to supply the Australian and export markets, as Australian food is a brand everyone admires.”

Vendor Rennie Property principal sales agent Peter Rennie said he had fielded interest from a number of buyers before it was picked by Mr Alom.

“It’s great for Morwell and the area to create

jobs and encourage people to move here. The land has access to a rail siding so it’s great opportunity for food processors to move in,” Mr Rennie said.

Member for Morwell Russell Northe said the purchase would be a “boon” for Morwell, particularly on the back of the state government investment to install key services.

“This will bear fruit in terms of jobs and industry in Morwell, and hopefully this sends a strong signal to others,” Mr Northe said.

“Investment is essential at this time of transition occurring in the energy and timber industries and it’s important we have diversification.”

Bendigo Bank ATM withdraws from Yinnar

By MICHELLE SLATER

GP1639000

THE Latrobe Valley has copped another banking blow with the removal of the Bendigo Bank ATM in Yinnar.

Bendigo customers were notified with a letter stating that the service is being taken out of town on Wednesday this week.

A Bendigo spokesperson said the decision had been made by the Mirboo North and district community bank board in early February.

“This was due to the expiry of the lease and a steady decline in cash transactions over the past several years due to changing customer behaviour and preferences,” the spokesperson said.

“Bendigo and Adelaide Bank have agreed to this decision.”

Bendigo is advising its customers they can withdraw cash from the adjacent Australia Post in the main street of Yinnar, and a Bendigo ATM is still available in Mirboo North.

The removal follows the recent departure of major banks in Morwell, including the closure of the town’s Bendigo, Commonwealth, Westpac and Bank Australia branches.

Yinnar and District Community Association secretary Kev Young said he hoped the service could be replaced with a third party ATM to cater to the town and outlying region.

“We lost a lot of other banking services in the Valley but this one tops it off. It was a valuable service to Yinnar and it’s disappointing if it’s not

“It’s disheartening but understandable if they see it as being non-viable. With all the events and passing tourists it’s handy for people coming into town.”

However, Mr Young also pointed to the community support Bendigo had provided to the region through its community grants programs.

Member for Morwell Russell Northe said the community had fought hard to secure the ATM. “Yinnar is a growing community and one would

have thought that it is imperative to maintain banking and financial transaction options in the town rather than reduce them,” Mr Northe said.

“Unfortunately the removal of banking services in the Latrobe Valley has not been a unique experience in recent times with Morwell suffering from the loss of multiple services.

“It’s disappointing that many banks have seen fit to take away options for many of its own customers in regional communities.”

Write off: Baw Baw Shire Mayor Michael Leaney’s car after the collision in Moe last week.

Baw Baw Mayor in collision

By MICHELLE SLATER

BAW Baw Shire Mayor Michael Leaney is urging people invest in vehicles with the most up-to-date safety features after he “totalled” the mayoral car in an accident in Moe last week.

Cr Leaney said he “tee-boned” into a car in front of him on Moore Street when the driver threw a sudden u-turn in front of him without warning.

Both he and the driver of the other car were uninjured, but both vehicles were written off.

Cr Leaney said he had temporarily lost his hearing when the air bags were deployed upon impact.

“The driver of the other car came over to ask if I was okay. I was deafened when the air bags went off, it was like a pistol went off in my ear,” Cr Leaney said.

“A fog of powder went off, it was surreal. I was a bit dazed, it was a full-on explosion. The door was jammed and I had to push it open. But it meant the crumple zones worked.”

Cr Leaney said this was the first accident he had ever been in after 36 years of driving and dashcam data showed he was under the speed limit.

He said a tow truck arrived shortly afterwards and cleared the site within 10 minutes.

“We both walked away, as both cars had modern safety features, and that stuff is there for a reason.

The airbags, ABS and seatbelt pre-tensioners worked,” Cr Leaney said “But if we were not in a car with these safety features, we would not be walking away. Accidents can happen anywhere at a moment’s notice.

“It’s just a car, but it was a bit embarrassing to total the mayoral car.”

New lighting at Apex Park INSTALLATION of lighting wrapped up at Apex Park in Moe last week.

The lighting was funded through the Community Crime Prevention Program, an initiative by the state government.

Through the program the Latrobe City Council received a $60,000 grant to help improve natural surveillance and visibility in the area.

A total of 19 new lights have been installed throughout Apex Park’s playground, picnic areas and nature play space.

The park is a popular place for families and visitors, and is the location for the annual Bonfire Night in November.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing visited the park last week to celebrate the completion of the works.

“It is important Victorian families can feel safe when spending time out in their community. Apex Park is a great place for picnics, playing and for the Bonfire Night celebrations,” she said.

“Upgrades like this help to improve community safety for locals and visitors to the area, so more people can enjoy Moe’s great outdoor spaces.”

The upgrades are intended to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour, and increased confidence for those using the space. The project also employed and engaged local contractors and suppliers.

Latrobe City Council Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said improving safety and accessibility was a priority for council.

“Thanks to the support of the Victorian government, the Moe Apex Park Public Safety Lighting Project will deliver benefits to our community and visitors to the region at the park for years to come,” she said.

Since 2015, the state government has provided $2.6 million in grants for crime prevention across the Latrobe City more than 27 crime prevention projects.

Safety: The booze bus was in Morwell on the afternoon of Friday, March 18.

Local drivers set to feature on RBT TELEVISION show RBT (Random Breath Tests) just wrapped up a visit to the Latrobe Valley.

For four days, RBT police patrolled the Valley, taking drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol off the road.

While it is uncertain when footage taken will air, it is possible that some Latrobe Valley faces will pop up on the small screen in the future.

From Thursday through to Sunday the RBT officers and their television crew made their way through Latrobe, capturing footage in several different places.

Constable Casey Webb and Leading Senior Constable Al Jones manned the marked police car during their time in the area, while an unmarked car containing a three man film crew and their Senior Sergeant followed them around.

Const Webb is new to the role, having just left

the police academy, while Snr Const Jones has been in the RBT Unit for more than three years.

Unlike many other roles in the force, members of the RBT unit get to travel often. Snr Const Jones said the unit is based out of Melbourne, however they often make trips out to regional areas for four or five days at a time.

While in the RBT unit Snr Constable Jones has worked in both the booze bus and the marked car.

The RBT unit spent their Friday afternoon in Morwell, and later headed off to Traralgon - keeping Latrobe’s roads free of drugs and alcohol.

This is the third year RBT has been filmed in Victoria. The Nine Network program was originally launched in NSW in 2010, before moving to South Australia for its 12th season in 2018. Currently, the show is in its 17th season.

Teamwork: Constable Casey Webb and Leading Senior Constable Al Jones manned the RBT car over the weekend.

The Valley’s heart disease problem

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Health: Dr Derk Pol wants to improve Gippsland cardiovascular outcomes.

photograph supplied

GIPPSLAND’S rates of heart disease are significantly higher than other areas nationally, new data reveals.

Due to a melting pot of risk factors, the region has a coronary heart disease mortality rate significantly higher than the national average.

According to the Heart Foundation, Gippsland has a mortality rate of 75 per 100,000 people in comparison to an average of 65.5 per 100,000 nationally.

The Latrobe Valley has an even higher mortality rate, currently sitting at 86.9 per 100,000 people.

Dr Derk Pol, of Gippsland Cardiology Service, said that of all the possible contributors to cardiovascular disease Gippsland has the “worst mix”.

Gippsland ranks high in risk factors such as having an older population, lower than average education levels, high unemployment, and less internet connectivity.

Additionally, high rates of uncontrolled high blood pressure, obesity, inactive lifestyles, high rates of smoking and diabetes also put people living in the region at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease.

Having grown up in Gippsland, Dr Pol is especially passionate about making sure local people receive the best care possible, without having to travel hours to receive it.

Dr Pol has spent time analysing Gippsland’s

situation, and feels there are currently an inadequate number of services and health professionals available locally for those suffering with cardiovascular conditions.

“We have significantly more disease on average compared to other parts of Victoria and other parts of Australia ... it doesn’t matter which data set you’re looking at - the Heart Foundation, or the Australian Institute of Health and Wellbeing - we are not doing that well,” he said.

“The crude rate of death (actual number deaths), in the area of Moe, Newborough, Morwell compared to Narre Warren - which is a slightly younger population than Moe, Newborough, Morwell - is 352 compared to Narre Warren’s 88.5.”

“We are double the rate of death compared to Australia, and compared to the suburb of Narre Warren, we are about four times higher ... and there are multiple contributors leading to that.”

Dr Pol said that even when Gippsland’s crude rate of death data is standardised for age, the region still sits higher than most others.

“Gippsland is pretty bad, but it appears that Moe, Newborough, Morwell is probably the epicentre of more cardiovascular outcomes when we compare it to the rest of Australia and other suburbs around Morwell,” Dr Pol said.

“When you have that mix (of risk factors) you need to have the capacity of service to look after that, and that’s definitely something we need to develop over the next 10 years. Latrobe Regional

Hospital is looking to expand its cardiac services to address these issues.

“Our rates of disease is higher, our rates of hospitalisation is higher, our risk factors for disease is higher, but at this point in time we have actually less resources to treat that.”

Dr Pol and Dr Laura Selkrig set up Gippsland Cardiology Service in 2021, in a bid to improve local cardiology outcomes.

“We have seen over 2000 patients in under 12 months,” he said.

Dr Pol and Dr Selkrig are currently the only two cardiologists that live and working in Gippsland.

The pair work in partnership with Maryvale Private Hospital and Latrobe Regional Health.

“We are really trying to start a coordinated service where patients in Gippsland, will have the same quality of doctors that they would receive if they travelled an hour and a half down the road,” he said.

He hopes that in time, and with access to adequate cardiovascular care locally, the outcomes for people living in Gippsland may improve.

Dr Pol is hoping to set-up and coordinate an acute heart attack service from the new cardiac cathlab at Latrobe Regional Hospital over the new few years.

People can manage their own cardiac health by maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recommends not smoking, eating a balanced diet and regular physical activity for prevention of cardiovascular disease.

A WARRAGUL man will be cycling for 24 hours straight to raise money for prostate cancer.

Ben Cadby will set off from Glengarry at 6am on Friday, April 1 and finish up on Saturday, April 2.

Mr Cadby, 37, launched Pedal 4 Prevention in order to raise money in honour of his partner’s father Laurie, who has been battling prostate cancer for nearly 13 years.

Laurie recently came off all treatments and medications to spend his last moments with family.

“He’s far too young to be at this stage – only 66 years old. We hope that through this event and by raising awareness of the disease, we will save other families from experiencing this heartache,” Mr Cadby said.

“As men we need to take our health seriously.

We need to talk about prostate cancer. Get checked and ask for help when you need it. It could save your life.”

Mr Cadby is an avid cyclist and endurance racer, and will be covering approximately 700km during his 24-hour ride.

“I’ve cycled all across the world and Australia, but this will be my most meaningful and challenging ride yet,” he said.

“The pain I will experience from riding for 24 hours is nothing compared to the ongoing pain that Laurie, and men like him, experience when they are fighting prostate cancer.”

Mr Cadby said that he hopes the ride will help fight some of the stigma surrounding prostate cancer.

“It’s a bit of a taboo topic, the 50 to 60 year old generation don’t really like talking about it ... we want talking about prostate cancer to just become a normal conversation,” he said.

Mr Cadby’s partner Christine Webb will be supporting him in the lead up to the big day.

She hopes the ride will help make a difference and open conversation around prostate cancer.

“If there was greater awareness about the disease, if more people talked about it and if information

A LOST birthday card sent by a Morwell grandmother has been returned to its owner.

Workers the at Australia Post’s Gippsland Mail Centre were sorting through mail on February 27 2022 when they came across an envelope without an address.

The envelope read ‘William, Happy Birthday, Nana Bet’.

Workers were perplexed as the card did not have an address or a return address.

Everyday hundreds of letters are processed at the facility.

Yet, the dedicated workers were set on finding the letters owner.

They approached their supervisor, Mirjam Geisler, who started the process of finding its

sender and getting the birthday card to William.

Linda McGann from the Mail Centre contacted local Australia Post branches, who spent the next day waiting hopefully for someone to come in looking for the birthday card.

Luckily, the very next day Nana Bet’s daughter approached workers at the Morwell Post Office, in search of the card her 93-year-old mother had sent.

The Morwell staff directed her to the Mail Centre, located on Bridle Road.

She visited to the Mail Centre, and explained that her mother had simply forgotten to place the address on the envelope.

The woman identified the card, and collected it, giving the Mail Centre’s search a happy ending.

Students happy to go with the FLO

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LATROBE Valley Flexible Learning Option (LV FLO) is helping students find their own path.

The school was established in 2014 and allows secondary aged students who are disengaged with education, or at risk of disengaging, to access more flexible, personalised learning.

LV FLO is a partnership between Latrobe Valley secondary schools Kurnai College, Lowanna College and Traralgon College.

Their goal is to reconnect young people with education through providing individual support and engaging them with learning, giving them the tools they need to overcome obstacles and re-enter school, enter the workforce or pursue further education.

The school provides several programs, each of which cater to students with different needs.

Adam Hinds teaches English and Maths at LV FLO. He said the school is very much focused on each student’s individual needs and circumstances, and student to teacher ratios in classrooms enable this.

“That’s how we can get to know them a bit better, and that’s the way we can work with them a bit closer and individualise things for them,” he said.

“It’s great that it exists ... there is definitely a need for it in the Valley.

“We focus a lot on their wellbeing and their social skills, and providing life experience. So, we take them up to the art gallery and out into the community ... we go down to the tech school as well.”

Mr Hinds said the year is off to a good start, with students and teachers taking advantage of resuming continuous face-to-face learning after an interrupted two years due to the COVID pandemic.

“It’s been a really positive start to the year now that we are all on site and pretty stable,” he said.

“Every time we came back to onsite learning they came back stronger, so it’s been a really positive experience.”

Pathways for students at LV FLO are different depending on the individual, Mr Hinds said.

“Pathways vary, some go off to TAFE, some go back into mainstream school, some will find work,” he said.

“Especially with the older students, we try to get them into work experience,” he added.

Principal Nick Try said teachers at LV FLO are specially selected to suit the school and the students’ needs.

“We are very careful about who we bring on board ... it’s all about the right personality and being relentless,” he said.

“We continue to work with students and families relentlessly until we can hopefully see improvement in their lives.”

Mr Try said the school meets the needs of the Latrobe Valley community, and provides an alternative option for students and their families when mainstream education isn’t working or isn’t appropriate.

“We offer a flexible approach, we offer, at times, a more relaxed approach to education and learning, and helping students and families manage what can be quite challenging situations or circumstances,” he said.

“A lot of the kids and families that we meet don’t necessarily have a great deal of trust in government organisations. We aim to be that solid, trusted organisation that they can go to, not just for educational support and help, but also in general.”

Linking students to available support services is another priority for LV FLO. They recently hosted a ‘Health and Wellbeing Day’, during which a number of local support services attended the school and engaged with students.

“We had services like Anglicare, Headspace and YSAS come and introduce themselves to the students and let them know that they’re around,” Mr Hinds said.

“It was a really successful day.”

Farm trespass laws in the parliament

By MICHELLE SLATER

Keep out: Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath and Gippy Goat owner John Gommans are pushing for harsher farm trespass penalties going before parliament.

photograph supplied

THE Nationals are urging Victorian Upper House Independents to support doubling proposed on-thespot fines for farm trespassers in new laws going before parliament this week.

The new legislation means animal activists who entered farming properties would face huge onthe-spot fines, with penalties of more than $10,900 each or $54,500 for organisations.

But Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath is pushing for an amendment in the legislation to double the maximum fine for individuals to more than $21,800.

A Parliamentary Inquiry into farm trespass handed down recommendations for on-the-spot fines more than two years ago.

Ms Bath said the new legislation was proposing the lowest penalties in Australia, handing activists “a get out of jail free card”.

It comes after radical vegan activists stole livestock from the Gippy Goat in Yarragon three years ago, causing the owner John Gommans to close his farm café.

Activists who faced court over the incident were fined one dollar for breaking biosecurity laws.

Mr Gommans was backing the harsher penalties, hoping it would act as a deterrent.

“It was quite a horrendous experience, I’m pretty

sure these activists will be back. I’m hopeful as the fine amount goes up that at least the fines impose would be meaningful,” Mr Gommans said.

“A slap on the wrist doesn’t stop anybody from coming onto my property. Our farms are our business. Unless you have a valid reason for being there, don’t come in.”

Ms Bath accused the state government of leaving farmers “exposed for two long years, despite most farms also being a family home”.

“Victoria has witnessed some of the country’s most aggressive farm invasions with families and workers left traumatised as a result, including at Gippsland’s own beloved Gippy Goat Farm and Café,” Ms Bath said.

“It’s shameful Labor MPs teamed up with the Greens and Independents to block our amendments in the lower house.”

Activist group Vegan Rising sent an open letter and petition to all Upper House MPs, claiming that activists have never caused a biosecurity incident on farms, nor an act of violence.

Vegan Rising director Kristin Leigh said the “extraordinary” penalties were being proposed “under the guise of unfounded biosecurity risks”.

“These proposed penalties are unjust, flawed and discriminatory and seek only to protect animal abusers by silencing those who expose them,” Ms Leigh said.

National Day Against Bullying and Violence at Morwell Central ALL the students at Morwell Central Primary School took part in activities on the National Day Against Bullying and Violence, a day which connects schools and communities to find workable solutions to prevent bullying.

As this year’s theme was ‘Kindness Culture’, the students began the activities with a discussion about what kindness looks like and what they have seen that was unkind.

This led to further discussions about the definition of bullying and what to do about it if it happens.

The students role-played a scenario where someone was being kind and one where someone was being bullied and they then drew pictures that depicted both of these situations.

Next, the students discussed the meaning of being an ‘upstander’ and watched some examples on video clips.

Each student made themselves into a Superhero Upstander, colouring in a template and adding a photo of their face to it.

The students also learned about the ripple effect of being kind to someone and how kindness can keep spreading. To demonstrate this, they each dropped a pebble into a large bowl of water and watched the ripples spread.

Finally, the students heard the story ‘Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed’, about a girl who is kind to someone and starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. The students made a list of good deeds and talked about how it feels for both the giver and the receiver of a good deed.

On outlines of large droplets, each student wrote down a good deed and drew a picture about it.

This formed a school display titled, ‘The Ripple Effect of Kindness’, demonstrating that one act of kindness has a ripple effect which leads to another act of kindness, then another, and another, and another.

Linac lights the way for cancer treatment MORE local people will be able to receive lifesaving radiation treatment as a result of new equipment installed at Latrobe Regional Hospital (LRH).

The new linear accelerator – or linac - uses high-energy radiation beams to target cancer with pinpoint accuracy and is faster than previous models.

The LRH Gippsland Radiation Oncology now has two of these latest linac machines.

The $3 million upgrade was made possible through a long-time partnership between LRH and Melbourne’s Alfred Health.

Alfred Health radiation oncology director Hany Elsaleh said the technology would enable up to 50 people a day to be treated for cancer, depending on the complexity of their condition.

“It enables patients in regional areas to be given world class treatment,” Assoc Prof Elsaleh said.

“There has been a lot of demand for radiation services in the regions and traditionally patients have had to move to tertiary centres in the city.

“Having a regional site that can treat a lot of patients is absolutely the model of care we support.

As a network, the delivery services should be no different in regional areas as they are in the city centres.”

LRH chief executive officer Don McRae said the two state-of-the-art linacs and the partnership with Alfred Health have provided healthcare professionals with an advanced set of skills.

“The linacs require a lot of clinical expertise and that’s why we’re thankful for our partnership with Alfred Health because they provide us with the clinicians and the technical back-up required to be able to provide this service safely to the community,” Mr McRae said.

Library now open all hours THE Mirboo North Library has a fresh new look and is now accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Local Government Minister Shaun Leane officially opened the library last week following $100,000 worth of upgrades with $69,000 in funding from the state government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.

“We’re investing in libraries right across the state – creating local jobs and ensuring communities have access to the resources they need in their own backyards,” Mr Leane said.

“Libraries are vital community assets. Having 24-hour access to library services will be a huge boost for the Mirboo North community.”

The Mirboo North Library now boasts a secure entrance for 24-hour access, a Wi-Fi lounge with a kitchenette and new circulation desk to improve customer service.

The library has been given a bright new look and extra power outlets and USB ports have been added for people to study and work.

New modular shelving has been installed making the space more flexible to host other programs and activities,including author talks.

This project also received $26,000 from Myli - My Community Library along with $5000 from local community group, Friends of the Mirboo North Library.

Australians not getting enough sleep says study

Gaining momentum: The federal government has committed $8.5 million towards developing a Gippsland Renewable Energy Park (GREP) at a 3000 hectare site in Giffard that will create 400 jobs in the Gippsland region. file photograph

$8.5M renewable commitment

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE federal government has committed $8.5 million towards a developing a Gippsland Renewable Energy Park at a 3000 hectare site in Giffard that will create 400 jobs in the region.

The GREP will be home to large scale renewables projects that will deliver clean energy to the National Electricity Market and help replace generation when Yallourn closes in 2028.

The multi-staged project will investigate various technologies at utility scale, including solar, wind, battery storage and the potential of green hydrogen.

The project is being funded through the Clean Energy Finance Corporation in a joint venture with global clean energy investor Octopus Australia and superannuation fund Hostplus.

Octopus managing director Sam Reynolds said they hoped for the project to come online around

2027 or 2028, pending regulatory and planning approvals.

“We still haven’t refined the exact size and capacity, we are still speaking with land owners.

We want this to be significant, but we are still in the early stages of how this could unfold,” he said.

“We want to make sure we work closely with the local community to make sure there are local jobs, and training in renewables so there would be a long-term positive aspect for the community.”

Mr Reynolds said the project would tie-in with the state government’s Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone, which includes building a transmission line from Wellington to the Latrobe Valley.

The CEFC and Octopus Australia joint venture portfolio already includes the recent acquisition of the 44 megawatt Perry Bridge and 80 MW Fulham solar farms.

CEFC chief executive officer Ian Learmonth said Gippsland has been a “powerhouse” for the National Electricity Market for many years.

“This development will contribute to the region’s transition to a clean energy future, while continuing to supply the power that helps keep Australia’s lights on,” he said.

“With the planned construction of both solar and storage at the site, the GREP also offers an exciting opportunity for the Gippsland community.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said supporting local jobs was an important focus.

“We have many skilled workers in our energy sector and it is important we ensure their skills can be utilised in new areas,” he said.

“This is also an important step in keeping the energy sector in our region where the knowledge and experience is and ensuring that the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland are not forgotten about.”

Morwell Historical Society welcomes SEC publications HISTORY buffs can check out the old days of the region’s energy industry through archived editions of SEC publications on public display.

ENGIE has donated editions of Contact and SEC News, as well as Hazelwood’s Jumbunna newsletter to the Morwell Historical Society.

Publications from the 1950s through to the early 2000s were in storage at the Hazelwood Rehabilitation Project, and once sorted, will be available for public perusal.

Morwell Historical Society president Bruce McMaster said the publications were a significant repository of local history.

“The SEC played a very big role for many people in the Latrobe Valley and the various

RESEARCH released last week to mark the 15th annual World Sleep Day reveals that just half (53 per cent) of Australians are satisfied with their current level of sleep health while three in ten (30 per cent) are dissatisfied.

The YouGov research, commissioned by FESS, a non-medicated saline nasal spray, suggests that Australians are most likely to believe that sleep health (57 per cent) can be negatively impacted by nasal congestion, compared to overall feeling of well-being (50 per cent) and ability to exercise (43 per cent).

Men are more likely than women to say they are satisfied with their sleep health (58 per cent compared to 49 per cent), and conversely, women are more likely to be dissatisfied (35 per cent compared to 25 per cent).

Working Aussies are almost twice as likely as those not working to say they are satisfied with their sleep health (60 per cent compared to 33 per cent).

Mirroring this trend, older Aussies aged over 50 are more likely than their younger counterparts aged 18 to 34 to say that they are dissatisfied with their sleep health (36 per cent compared to 26 per cent).

Married Aussies are more likely than those not married to be satisfied with their sleep health (59 per cent compared to 46 per cent).

Additionally, those who say they are satisfied with their current level of overall wellness are significantly more likely than those who are dissatisfied to also say they are satisfied with their sleep health (74 per cent compared 22 per cent).

The Sleep Health Foundation highlights the importance of sleep and breathing to our overall health and wellbeing.

“The Sleep Health Foundation’s core work is to raise the awareness of the importance of sleep. Sleep is an essential pillar of health alongside diet and exercise,” a foundation spokesperson said.

“Quality of life can be improved via better sleep and quality of sleep can be improved by ensuring that any sleep-disordered breathing is assessed and treated.”

publications provide a snapshot into their lives at work,” Mr McMaster said.

“The publications are a great record and we’re pleased ENGIE Hazelwood has agreed for us to have them as part of our collection.”

The publications include the SEC News from 1950 through to the mid-1990s and the SEC Contact Latrobe Valley region from 1971 to 1994.

Hazelwood’s Jumbunna newsletter, so named because the indigenous word translates to ‘a place to meet and talk,’ is also available with editions from 1995 to 2012.

The Hazelwood Rehabilitation Project wanted to make sure the publications would be safely stored accessible to the community.

Dementia Australia puts Federal Election on the agenda WITH the Federal Election to be announced in the coming months, Dementia Australia is calling on people living with dementia, their families and carers to start the conversation now about voting.

Dementia Australia chief executive officer Maree McCabe said the capacity to vote is decision specific.

“Every person living with dementia has the right to vote,” Ms McCabe said.

“It is important that people living with dementia, their families and carers start the conversation now along with their doctor to decide together whether they want to vote so their status on the electoral roll can be amended if needed.

“It may be that someone needs support to vote, for example, being reminded to attend their local polling place on the right date or helping them arrange a postal vote or to attend an early voting centre.”

The Australian Electoral Commission provides a range of ‘Easy read guides’ which can assist people living with dementia in simple, clear language on the voting process.

If it is decided that someone is no longer capable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting, the appropriate form can be completed and submitted through the Australian Electoral Commission to remove them from the electoral roll.

The medical certificate on the form must be completed and signed by a registered medical practitioner.

The electoral roll generally closes around one week after an election is called, so starting the conversation now will allow enough time in case any paperwork is required.

For those impacted by dementia looking to get involved in the lead up to this year’s Federal Election to ensure dementia remains a focus, please join Dementia Australia in asking our political leaders to support Dementia Australia’s 2022-23 Federal Budget submission.

Visit dementia.org.au/tips-for-grassrootsdementia-advocacy to find out how you can speak to your local Member of Parliament, Senator or political candidate about improving the quality of dementia care.

Dementia Australia is the source of trusted information, education and services for the estimated half a million Australians living with dementia, and the almost 1.6 million people involved in their care.

We advocate for positive change and support vital research. We are here to support people impacted by dementia, and to enable them to live as well as possible.

No matter how you are impacted by dementia or who you are, we are here for you.

For support, please contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.

An interpreter service is available and the Helpline is open 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays.

The National Dementia Helpline is funded by the federal government.

Government support for program GIPPSPORT’S Gen-G on the go program has received funding from the federal government.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester announced that GippSport had received more than $845,000 from the federal government’s Safer Communities Fund.

Mr Chester said the new program is designed to support young people in Gippsland who are disengaged from the community and help them get involved in sports and arts activities.

“It will also provide additional support with literacy skills and how to be involved in the local community and help boost community morale,” he said.

“This intervention will help keep young Gippslanders at risk away from the criminal justice system and help them to feel more included in their local communities.”

The program will run across all six Gippsland local government areas.

GippSport executive officer Dan Poynton said the organisation has worked closely on delivering the program with United Muslim Sisters of Latrobe Valley, Centre for Multicultural Youth, Susan Plowright Ethical Capabilities Consulting and Latrobe Community Health Service.

“Multiple organisations working together ensures that we are targeting the right groups in our local community and engaging with young Gippslanders who otherwise might not be involved in local sporting or cultural events.”

Mr Poynton said the grant is funding all aspects of the program.

“Funding will be utilised to employ some place based coordinators to facilitate the program,” he said.

“All activities that will be delivered will be fully subsidised by the grant.

“So young people will be able to access the development programs, recreation programs at no cost. There will also be fully funded leadership & development retreats & camps.”

Mr Poynton said the program will run weekly and plans to cater to the needs of young people.

It will include after school activities, Streetgames pop-ups, sport and arts activities and arts clubs.

“The program will conclude with youth-led community events to share the participants’ achievements and contributions,” he said.

“GippSport and all the partners are looking forward to engaging with young Gippslanders and creating a more inclusive community feel for them all.”

Job candidates are available in Gippsland MAX Employment is reminding Gippsland employers that there are willing and able prospective employees available to start work in most industries.

Australia’s largest employment services provider applauded findings in the latest Regional Australia Institute’s job vacancy report, which stated that the nation’s regional unemployment rate of 3.8 per cent has already dipped under the 4 per cent mark targeted by the federal government.

This means more regional Australians have found sustainable, ongoing work in 2021.

Significantly though, job vacancies in regional areas remain very high compared to previous years – there were more than 73,000 vacancies across regional Australia in December 2021, representing an increase of 35.7 per cent on the previous year.

MAX Employment Gippsland regional manager Les Stothard said that his organisation was

dedicated to arranging outcomes that equally benefited local businesses and regional job seekers.

“With COVID-19 restrictions easing and businesses returning to some kind of pre-pandemic normal, employers are understandably beginning to scale up their operations once again,” Mr Stothard said.

“The very low unemployment rate is something of a double-edged sword – it’s a positive in that more Gippsland residents are in long-term employment, but it also means that there are fewer candidates for each new job in the region.

“With fewer recruits in the workforce pool, we’re encouraging employers to be more open-minded and more creative in the way they recruit staff.

Perhaps they consider hiring a person with disability, where they haven’t before – or a mature age worker who has been absent from the workforce for an extended period.”

“There are experienced, enthusiastic people from all walks of life who are looking for work.”

Mr Stothard said local MAX Employment customer placement consultants are currently assisting Gippsland job seekers to find work.

“We’ve currently got more than 4600 job seekers on our caseload across the region, including people looking for work in Traralgon, Wonthaggi, and Morwell,” Mr Stothard said.

“While age, skillset, education level, and relevant industry experience remain the key determining factors for employers, there is a broader pool of talent that can make valuable contributions to your business.

“I would encourage employers who are struggling to find people to work with employment services providers – who through working with employers to understand the role and the right fit, creates a high chance we have someone who could fill their role.”

Some bleak findings for humanity HEATWAVES, floods, fires, and storms!

Unprecedented severe weather events devastating Australia year after year.

The world’s top climate scientists are warning us that this will happen unless we make deep and urgent cuts to emissions this decade.

The latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) are bleak and terrifying.

The report, released in late February, takes a comprehensive look at what climate change is doing to us, how it is going to get worse and what we can do to prepare.

The report finds that the window to secure “a liveable and sustainable future for all,” has nearly passed us by.

It warns that the scale of the impacts from climate change threatens to overwhelm Australia’s ability to adapt in coming decades.

Immediate actions aimed at stopping warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius could reduce many of the most severe impacts to society and ecosystems, but will not stop them all.

The report criticises Australia’s federal government, as well as state governments, for an “absence” of clear guidance, “rendering Australia unprepared for flooding from sea-level rise.”

Those impacts are set to be significant for Australia, since about 85 per cent of residents live within 50km of the coast.

The IPCC report issues a challenge to Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Labor leader Anthony Albanese to set a target to slash climate pollution by at least half this decade with the policies to get there.

What’s needed is not more incremental steps, but comprehensive and inclusive transitions in energy, food, industrial, urban and societal systems that deliver climate resilient, equitable development without delay.

Victoria’s status as an economic powerhouse relies on regional areas

IT’S hard to describe what an incredible feeling it is to finally be able to move around our great state again and enjoy all Regional Victoria has to offer, whether it’s our beautiful towns, beaches, lakes, rivers, wineries, golf courses or restaurants.

There’s no doubt it was a challenging summer for people right across Victoria, particularly tourism operators and small business in regional areas as many of the usual visitors stayed away because of the Omicron wave.

And often business was hit with a double effect of not enough staff and having to turn customers away.

But as case numbers have subsided and restrictions have been further eased, we’re all able to once again move freely around the state and this has been good for business.

This was evident over the recent long weekend and we know autumn is a glorious time of year in Regional Victoria and extremely popular for tourists.

We’ve also seen a significant shift in

population to Regional Victoria during the pandemic as people have moved to hybrid working and taken advantage of the lifestyle offered outside of Melbourne.

Small and medium business continue to form the backbone of Regional Victoria’s economy.

Regional Victoria will play an important role in Victoria’s economic recovery and that’s why it’s a significant focus of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s submission for the 2022-23 State Budget.

After two difficult years, this will be a critical budget for Victoria as we look to turbocharge our economic recovery and move forward to create a state that is the best place to live, work, learn and operate a business.

Business must play the leading role in our recovery and this Budget must enable, grow and ease the cost of doing business, so as to boost jobs and investment across right the state and not just in Metropolitan Victoria.

That’s why a number of our 73 recommendations to the state government are centred on Regional Victoria.

These include providing funding over four years for a business case each year for uninterrupted high-speed trains to the regions on dedicated lines from Southern Cross Station, starting with Ballarat, and begin collaborating with the federal government on a joint funding model for the project.

Fast rail connections between Regional and Metropolitan Victoria would decrease commute time and improve the availability of labour in Victoria’s fastest growing regional centres.

A 45-minute commute between Ballarat and Melbourne could be a reality and provide the blueprint to rollout further highspeed trains to other regional centres to improve connectivity.

The state government should also bring

FEDS BACK GIPPSLAND RENEWABLE ENERGY PARK Andy Churchill: Only Hydrogen can provide ongoing jobs on a large scale. Claims of jobs for the region need to be backed up by firm data. The data for coal to hydrogen already exists in a successful pilot, including shipment to Japan from Loy Yang.

Nick Jen: What a waste of time and money.

You’d get 20 per cent more energy from doing something of the like in the north-west of the state where there are longer sun hours. This just takes away from productive farm land and plantations.

Jay Farr: In an election year? Who’d have thought!

Marjorie Boden: Someone will protest to stop it.

forward the work on Geelong fast rail.

We also know that regional businesses are facing a lack of skilled, available workers alongside a long-term youth unemployment crisis. Regional areas also consistently report under-investment in services and feeling left out of metro-centric economic development plans.

To address these issues, the Victorian Chamber recommends a targeted, industry-led ‘Work in the Regions’ initiative that focuses on industries experiencing acute shortages.

The campaign would be a win-win as it would encourage new regional Victorians to take jobs in their local communities and businesses to train and unlock opportunities for local young people.

Beyond business, Regional Victoria requires services that match the quality and responsiveness of those provided to communities in metropolitan areas.

For example, the availability of early intervention mental health support and acute facilities in regional areas lags behind Melbourne.

Targeted industry investment and procurement levers should also be used to ensure development in our regions.

A $2 billion Regional Victoria Manufacturing Strategy and Fund will significantly boost our state’s manufacturing capabilities.

This should also require reporting on regional procurement at the state and local government levels.

And let’s not forget the economic boost that major events can provide regional areas.

That’s why we are getting behind Victoria’s bid for the 2026 Commonwealth Games because it will help showcase the regions.

We’ve proposed a $200 million industry fund to attract new events to Victoria and that includes bringing more sporting and cultural events into

regional areas. There’s never been a better time to support Regional Victoria’s greatest assets its people and businesses that will play a critical role in ensuring we restore Victoria’s status as an economic powerhouse.

Power, not poverty

THE green fairytale is over.

Even the green cheer squad in the bureaucracy and the media can sense the change. The sudden end was signalled by rolling columns of Russian tanks, quickly followed by surging prices for oil, gas, coal, wheat and barley.

For decades, one-worlders and greedy industrialists have sung the green songs – lauding wind/solar energy, worshipping hydrogen, and condemning coal, oil, gas and nuclear.

Their doomsday chorus was taken up by tweeting teenagers and trendy adults in the green leafy suburbs – most of them supported in soft-chair jobs in media, bureaucracy and big woke corporations.

John Kerry (a rich climate-obsessed American aristocrat) worries that the Ukraine war “could have a profound negative impact on the climate”.

He is more concerned about beneficial emissions of life-supporting CO2 than about lethal bullets, missiles, and starvation.

Russia, China and India have focused on developing and using their best energy resources, but Australia (following the Pied Pipers of Europe) has a bi-partisan policy to keep spreading the climate virus and subsidising more expensive green toys imported from China.

But, at long last, sanity is surfacing - Nigel Farage (the UK Brexiteer) has rung the full-time bell on climate alarmism with his new slogan against net zero madness – “Vote power not poverty”.

Just one late snowstorm in Berlin, a food riot in Cairo or a blackout in New York will start the green rout.

The world is becoming a cold, hungry and dangerous place. Food is not produced in green forests, electricity is not generated in big batteries, green hydrogen is a net consumer of energy, and we will not fight the next war with battery-powered tanks, wind-powered frigates or an air force burning bio-fuels.

Just two years ago, Joe Biden promised: “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels.”

It’s time to drag green dreamers and climate alarmists into the real world where food, fuels, metals, electricity and defensive weapons are produced. This must start by cleaning the green horse manure from the “Net Zero” stables.

Putin’s tanks and missiles have started this process. Europeans now face the truth that coal, oil, nuclear and gas provide most of the power for their homes, factories, industry, transportation and agriculture. Without them, big cities die.

We need more Hydrocarbon Power, more Nuclear Power, and less un-reliables.

The world has changed. We can no longer afford “Net Negative Energy” or “Building Back Worse”.

Camp a winner for Girl Guides

TRARALGON and Morwell Girl Guides enjoyed a trip to Glendale’s Coonawarra Farm Resort earlier this month.

A total of 38 girls attended the camping trip, along with 13 volunteers.

During their trip the girls had the opportunity to go horse-riding, fly on the flying fox, climb to new heights on the big swing, eat s’mores, and sing around the campfire.

The camp had the girls pushed to grow their confidence and learn about themselves.

Gippsland Region manager Amanda Clark said the trip would not have been possible without the amazing volunteers, parents doing fundraising, and a generous sponsorship from Traralgon Centre Plaza.

The Girl Guides are now setting their sights on another big adventure, the state camp next month.

Later in the year they will begin fundraising for the Australian International Jamboree in January 2023.

Anyone interested in being part of the adventure, contact Amanda Clark, at amanda. clark@guidesvic.org.au or head to the Girl Guides Victoria website, www.guidesvic.org.au/

Safety upgrades of intersection

A BUSY Traralgon intersection has been redeveloped to improve safety for pedestrians and motorists.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the intersection of Tyers Road, Scrubby Lane and Cross’s Road now included turning lanes and visible road markings for drivers.

“Ensuring our road infrastructure is safe, especially in busy, high traffic areas such as this intersection is incredibly important and helps save lives,” Mr Chester said.

“Upgrading the intersection has made it easier for road users to navigate and safely use.”

The federal government provided $800,000 in funding for the project.

The funding was allocated through the $97 million Targeted Road Safety Works initiative for Victoria.

MOE local Samantha Dargan will have her work displayed at this year’s VCE Season of Excellence Top Designs exhibition.

Samantha graduated St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School last year.

Her folio and production work, created for her Year 12 Product Design and Technology class, will be featured in this year’s exhibition at Melbourne Museum.

Sustainability was at the heart of Samantha’s designs. She crafted her clothing items out of bioplastics, which she manufactured herself.

Infused with seeds of local flora from the Baw Baw area, when her bioplastics reach their ‘end of life’ they decompose and contribute to the ecosystem by suppling native plants. Buttons on Samantha’s designs where made out of local stones that were shaped and sewn on.

Samantha said she is conscious of the impacts of fast fashion said sustainability was always front of mind in her design process.

“I researched ways to make it more sustainable through biodegrading, and that’s why can came up with the design I did,” she said.

“Bioplastics are a sustainable alternative to normal plastics ... I was able to fully curate the plastics from home.

“They’re made from gelatine, water and glycerine.

I was able to make it in my kitchen and fully customise it to what I needed for the design. I had

Samantha selected the Product and Design Technology unit in her final year of schooling so

that she could have a creative outlet and a class that wasn’t so textbook orientated.

When she found out she had been chosen for the Top Designs exhibition the day after her ATAR was released she was very happy.

“I was so excited - ecstatic - I was in the car with Mum ... I was almost in tears and she was almost in tears,” she said.

Samantha is currently studying Fashion Design at RMIT. “I never really planned on it until last year, I think through the project I really fell in love with it and that’s when I decided that that is what I want to do,” she said.

“I think I’d like to have my own company and make my own clothes.”

Samantha is passionate about solving problem with fast fashion, and told The Express that her future fashion endeavours will likely focus on being ethically and socially responsible.

“Fast fashion is just crazy with the turnaround and microtransactions,” she explained.

“There’s so much waste to only from consumers but also from companies just overproducing all of this clothing that just gets dumped in third world countries ... and it’s only going to get worse unless people make a difference.”

Melbourne Museum’s VCE Season of Excellence Top Designs exhibition will run from April 1 to July 10.

Inspired artwork adorns Trafalgar’s new pavilion

By LIAM DURKIN

USERS of the Turra Pavilion at the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve will be greeted with a striking exterior artwork for generations to come.

Situated on the western side of the building, the piece encapsulates the history and characteristics of the Trafalgar township and the various sporting teams that will one day call the reserve home once the second oval is constructed.

Such a landmark pavilion deserved a landmark mural, and Trafalgar artist Jeff Thege delivered.

The steel-plated design features a grandiose display of the iconic ship HMS Victory navigating its way through a sea of trouble, onward and forwards to more prosperous times.

The ship has become an instantly recognised symbol for the Trafalgar township, with most sporting teams, schools and business associations adopting it as their logo.

The town’s connection to not only the Battle of Trafalgar but to the Captain of the flagstaff ship, Lord Horatio Nelson, has been passed through generations of youngsters.

This identity is ensured thanks to the naming of Victory Park alongside the Princess Highway heading through town, and an ode to the battle and Nelson’s ship taking pride of place within the foyer of the public hall.

In describing the artwork, Mr Thege said he wanted to embody the symbolism of the ship.

“This artwork aims to inspire, motivate and incite fair play of sport by using imagery of the HMS Victory,” he said.

“Members of Trafalgar’s sporting club are represented by the HMS Victory in this artwork, which in turn symbolises strength, effort, strategy, teamwork, leadership, discipline and fortitude.

“Symbolism is deeply embedded in this scene, with the Victory emerging from a violent storm demonstrating triumph - or victory - over adversity.

“Another symbolism is the harsh swells of the ocean, representing difficult times ensured by any club or sports player at one time or another.

Grand addition: Trafalgar artist Jeff Thege in front of his piece that will adorn the new Turra Pavilion at the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve. photograph liam durkin

“The sun breaking through the storm clouds represents hope, conveying with perseverance and resilience that bleak times will not last.

“Lastly, the looming great wave represents the inevitability of new, oncoming challenges as well as the preparedness, willingness and courage needed to face them.”

A storyboard is set to be added to the CorTen and stainless steel structure, detailing the meaning behind what is sure to be looked upon with great interest so long as it stands.

“The signature of the piece are the words ‘Blood, Sweat and Tears’, as well as the silhouette of the three Turra brothers, Frank, Jim and Dominic,” Mr Thege said.

“This signature is a tribute to the Turra family,

for not only a demonstration of collaboration and hard work, but also charity, integrity and family values. These values transfer to the sporting context and is emphasised by the wording blood family as well as team and club, sweat - hard work in collaboration with teammates, and tears - for the wins and losses.”

Looking at the artwork, one can’t help but think it is reflective of the rallying cry “all hands on deck”.

If you listen closely you can even hear the sounds of bat on ball, or of footballers working their way through the crisp winter chill, followed by the words sung to toast victory, from the footballers belting out ‘it’s no idle boasting, we’ll keep victory floating’ to the cricketers singing - ‘Victory, Victory is the name of our great Ship’.

by Joanne Madeline Moore March 21 - March 27, 2022

Aries This week the fiery Sun’s in feisty Aries, and impulsive Mars (your power planet) squares unpredictable Uranus. So you’ll feel like a firecracker ready to go off! But reckless behaviour could land you in a heap of hot water so tread carefully. You’re keen to get things moving but don’t be in such a rush that you start an argument or cause an accident.

Slow and steady wins the Ram race. Do your best to be courageous and independent, rather than bossy and impatient.

Taurus Are you being too subjective and

short-sighted about a current issue? It’s the Equinox on Monday when day and night are of equal length. So take a step back, adjust your focus, and strive to view the situation from a much broader and wiser perspective. Balance is the key. With capable Saturn still visiting your career zone, it’s time to get serious about your professional ambitions. Roll up your sleeves and get to work, as you power through projects and tie up loose ends.

GGemini With no less than five planets stimulating your hopes, wishes and aspirations zones, your motto is from this week’s birthday great, feminist writer Gloria Steinem: “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” But, with hot-headed Mars squaring impetuous Uranus, there’s a tendency to jump in and say things you don’t really mean. So think carefully before you open your mouth!

Cancer Sensitive Crabs are capricious creatures, constantly buffeted by the many phases of the ever-changing Moon. This week we celebrate the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length) which will help to stabilise your temperamental moods and balance your brooding nature. Attached Cancer – remember there’s a fine line between ardent affection and clinggy obsession. Singgles – you could find yourself drawn to someone with a powerful personality.

Leo If you’re trying to get an ambitious

project off the ground, make sure you cover all bases – from family and friends to colleagues and international connections. It’s also a suitable time to plan your next holiday, as the Sun and Mercury move into your travel zone.

Make your goals and aspirations as creative and innovative as possible. Be inspired by this week’s birthday great Gloria Steinem: “The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn but to unlearn.”

Virgo g Some routine-obsessed Virgos can

get stuck in a daily rut. This week it’s time to ricochet out of your usual routine and do something completely different. Variety is the spice of life, as you experiment with exciting new activities – and welcome sudden detours and disruptions. But the more you try to control others, the more they are likely to resist. So, if you want to avoid ongoing problems and power struggles, then learn to diplomatically let go and move on.

Libra A child, teenager or close friend could

unsettle you by making a surprise move. So be prepared with a few fast moves (and choice words) of your own! Is your love-life stuck on autopilot? Mars and Uranus push you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. Attached Librans – get talking (really talking) with your partner. Singles – look for someone who’s not your usual type. Perhaps a fun-loving Leo or a gregarious Gemini?

Scorpio Do your best to be extra sensitive to the needs of others this week. Mars and Uranus stir up relationship insecurities on Tuesday and Wednesday, and you may have to handle a loved one with kid gloves! Keep your Scorpio cool, as you participate in some difficult conversations and then deftly steer the subject matter onto safer ground. Short trips, education, creative projects, social media and local community connections are favoured on Saturday.

Creativity: Alix Machen (Gippsland Art Gallery award), Tracey Raine (Latrobe Regional Gallery Emerging Artist award) and Georgia Gooding (National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) Ignition Award for Professional Practice). photographs contributed

Talents shine at exhibition

Sagittarius g You’re fired up about

makking something big happen ASAP. But the planets caution you about taking shortcuts and relying on others. Don’t expect influential people to drop everything and hand you your dream. There is no substitute for hard work and thorough preparation. It’s also Equinox week so stop rushing around and overdoing things! Smart Sagittarians will calm down and recalibrate to a slower, steadier and much more sustainable pace.

Style: ‘Baby’s Breath’ by Georgia Gooding.

Acrylic paint on wooden platter.

Capricorn p With Venus, Mars and Saturrn (your power planet) transiting through your $$$ zone, financial matters are about to improve. Monday and Saturday are particularly auspicious days to brainstorm creative, proactive ways to save money and boost cashflow. This week’s fiery planetary aspects will also help you communicate your innovative ideas with extra passion and pizazz, as you link up with likeminded friends and supportive family members.

Aquarius q Expect a rollercoaster ride!

Imppulsive Mars (in your sign) is at odds with unpredictable Uranus (your ruling planet). So – if you are too hasty – you could be headed for an argument or an accident. Taking risks is fine … just make sure they are calculated ones. Astute Aquarians will be restless rather than reckless, and inventive rather than irritable. Your motto is from avant-garde Aquarian artist Yoko Ono: “You can be very wild and still be very wise.”

GIPPSLAND residents with an eye for art will have the chance to see and purchase works from the next generation of budding artists at Federation University Australia’s End of Year Exhibition (EYE) at Churchill’s Switchback Gallery.

The exhibition showcases works by five students from Federation’s graduating class of 2021 in the Bachelor of Arts (honours) (creative arts), and Bachelor of Visual Arts programs.

Featuring paintings, sculpture, drawing, digital imaging, video and collage, the exhibition is an opportunity for students to curate works under the guidance of their lecturers and present it in a professional setting.

The exhibition is open to the public Tuesday to Thursday until Wednesday, April 20, between 10am and 4pm.

To accompany the physical exhibition, an online gallery featuring works from EYE across the Ballarat and Gippsland campuses has been created, giving students an opportunity to reach an even broader audience.

The online gallery can be viewed at artspaces. kunstmatrix.com/en/exhibition/7917181/2021virtual-eye-end-of-year-exhibition Federation University Associate Professor and Arts Academy director Richard Chew said the exhibition was a great display of students’ capabilities.

“EYE is a highlight of our annual public events program at the Arts Academy, where students are given the opportunity to curate their work and present it to their communities,” he said.

“Many of the students represented in this exhibition have spent the greater part of two years studying online and their achievement is testimony to their creativity, resilience and courage.”

Pisces With three planets visiting your

sign, you’re the quintessential Piscean at the moment – creative, compassionate, imaginative and inspirational. But you’re also more inclined to be passive, procrastinating and impractical!

Make the most of active Jupiter jumping through Pisces (until May) as you tackle challenges with plenty of passion and turn abstract ideas into productive projects. Be a fearless Fish, as you swim into unchartered waters and embrace adventure.

Local butcher’s national call-up

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

AWARD winning Traralgon butcher Joel Young is set to represent Australia at the World Butchers’ Challenge (WBC) this year.

Mr Young, co-owner of 3J’s Butchers, is no stranger to these events and has competed in a number of state and national competitions.

In 2019, he won first place in the Butcher Wars competition at Meatstock, a Music and Barbecue Festival - a title he is set to defend this coming weekend.

Mr Young was selected to join the Australian Butchers Team and will compete in the WBC at Sacramento, USA in September this year.

He will team up with five other butchers from around Australia for the competition, and together they will compete against 15 countries.

The WBC is conducted over a three hour and 15 minute period.

Competitors are presented with a beef, pork, lamb and five chickens and are instructed to transform them into a display.

Competitors can bring their own seasonings, marinades and garnishes to the competition and use them to create products that are able to be sold in a retail setting and can be cooked.

Products should push boundaries and be inspiring.

Mr Young, who now lives in the Valley, grew up in Inverloch.

He started a butcher’s apprenticeship after school and hasn’t looked back.

Ten years ago, he and two people other purchased 3J’s.

“I made the move up here when I took over the shop 10 years ago, we’ve been going strong. We’ve refurbished and turned the shop into what it is now,” he said.

Mr Young has competed in a number of competitions, but this is the first time he will attend the WBC. “It’s fast-paced, it’s very hot ... in terms of the World Butchers’ Challenge that one is next level.

There’s so many industry leaders and the best of the best,” he said.

“Going up against them is something that I’ve never gotten to do before ... so it’s going to be pretty intense.”

The Australian Butchers Team will spend this year preparing to compete, and will have a number of rehearsals before the big day.

A cut above: Award-winning local butcher Joel Young will be competing in the World Butchers’ Challenge this September. photograph alyssa fritzlaff “There’s a lot to do, there’s a cow, a lamb, a pig, a lot of poultry and we all have our individual roles,” Mr Young said.

Mr Young said he has received a lot of support from friends, family and 3J’s customers.

“I put it on our socials and we’ve been getting a lot of praise and a lot of love, which has been really, really good,” he said.

“It was a call that I wasn’t really expecting, and

when I got it was an immediate yes. Just being able to go and showcase the craft, and brush shoulders with so many other industry leaders is a chance that doesn’t come around that often.

The actual craft style of what we do here is slowly starting to phase out, but it’s a way of getting in touch with your roots and trying to show the craftsmanship behind it.”

VBA figures build growth of industry

FRESH data has revealed Gippsland’s building industry is growing.

The number of building permit’s recorded by the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) showed a more than 12 per cent increase on 2020.

Latrobe City had the third most building permit’s recorded, at a cost of $433,085,159, behind the Baw Baw Shire and Bass Coast.

East Gippsland sat in fourth place, with Wellington not far behind. South Gippsland placed last with 919 permits.

Gippsland recorded the second highest growth in regional Victoria, behind North Central, with a total of 9382 permits issued in the region.

Statewide, $44.6 billion worth of permits were issued in 2021, an overall increase of 12.66 per cent.

VBA chief operations officer Jocelyn Crawford said the results are a positive sign for the building industry.

“Victorians have experienced a challenging two years, but as a community we have remained resilient and the industry has continued to grow, proving it to be the backbone of the state’s economic future,” she said.

“These figures are promising and in an environment of development and economic progress, demonstrate the importance that standards are upheld.”

Domestic building permits across the state reached an all-time high, with more than 109,000 recorded in 2021.

Ms Crawford said the VBA will maintain is vigilance on building practitioners in 2022.

“We are here to keep Victorians safe and protect both consumers and practitioners,” she said.

“As we see growth, we must also work together to make sure the rules and processes are followed, and compliance is upheld.”

Power network reforms touted THE state government is investigating long-term reforms to the state’s electricity distribution network following prolonged power outages caused by last year’s severe storms.

An expert panel will lead phase two of review into the role of electricity businesses following the June 9, 2021 storm.

A phase two report will be complete by the end of March.

The review will examine how businesses can improve distribution network preparedness and response to prolonged power outages arising from storms and other extreme weather.

Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the independent panel will examine what long-term measures are needed to improve mitigation and response to prolonged power outages.

“Many Victorians were devastated by power outages following the June and October thunderstorms, and with climate change set to make storms more frequent and intense we must do more to bolster distribution networks,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

“We were proud to deliver relief measures such as temporary generators, Prolonged Power Outage Payments, and funding packages for urgent repairs.”

The phase one report contained short term recommendations to be implemented for summer 2021-22. These recommendations were underway before the October storms.

It included improvements to communication with critical infrastructure operators, enhanced public messaging, and faster and more streamlined support for power-dependent customers.

The panel will be chaired by former Consumer Utilities Advocacy Centre executive officer Jo Benvenuti.

The panel is hosting several round-tables this month with distributor representatives, technical experts, community representatives, energy industry experts and the emergency sector.

Phase two will also include a survey for community members and businesses from affected areas.

This three-week short course provides skills and knowledge in unbeatable customer service for working in the Contact Centre sector.

Students have gained skills and knowledge in communication and managing difficult customers, time management and work prioritisation as well as resilience, interview and resume writing skills along with building their own brand.

Throughout the course opportunity to build and develop their technology skills was also interwoven into the program.

The program has supported the students with introductions whether that be by guest speakers

or site tours to many of the local Contact Centre employers including Aussie Broadband, Alinta Energy and Solar Victoria there have been job opportunities presented to the students, with guaranteed interviews with Alinta Energy and Aussie Broadband to all students that apply and have successfully completed the course.

Adica Insurance customer experience manager Sheridan Francis saw the potential of the program in its initial planning stages and wanted to work with GEST to invite the students in for an afternoon at their Warragul office to undergo their internal assessment centre and showcase what and who Adica Insurance is.

This form of recruitment is a series of activities that Adica has implemented internally to really see the potential of successful first round applicants, where their strengths and possibly weaknesses lie and how from these activities individuals are employed into positions accordingly with training and support then offered.

On March 9, warmly greeted by Sheridan and approximately 8 of Adica’s training and quality assurance managers and officers, the students were introduced to Adica and what customer service means to them as a large very successful international insurance company, they were then supplied with a delicious lunch before breaking away into their assessment activities.

As a result from the day, five of the 12 participants that partook in the activities will be asked back for second round interviews with Adica Insurance for potential part-time and full-time roles, in hope of an offer of employment!

A win win for all parties.

The program will see 24 individuals graduate by the end of March, with the third program kicking off on April 4 – if you are an individual whom would like to learn unbeatable customer service skills and have yourself introduced to contact centre industry partners please contact the GEST office on 5127 4544 or email taylah@gest.com.au

The Guide FATHER BROWN ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

Step back into the 1950s and revisit the picturesque and charming town of Kembleford, the fictional village set in the Cotswolds. Father Brown returns for its ninth season, with the guarantee of murder and intrigue brimming in the idyllic farming locale. In “The Menace of Mephistopheles”, the titular hatted clergyman (Mark Williams, pictured) faces a confounding mystery when Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) turns to him for help after he witnesses Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam) frame an innocent man.

THE DOG HOUSE AUSTRALIA 10, Tuesday, 7.30pm

Real-life stories of hardship and tragedy intersect with an assortment of furry, slobbering, cute canine friends in this week’s heartwarming episode. Dr Chris Brown (Bondi Vet) may not be on screen to show off his megawatt smile, but his familiar voice guides us through the emotional rollercoaster of finding the perfect companion to adopt from a shelter. One-eyed Maltese Harlie (pictured) has not had a whole lot of love in her short life, but could Karin, who recently suffered a terrible accident, be the charming canine’s perfect match? Along with two other inspiring dog adoption stories, this stirring series proves that love really does come in all shapes and sizes, with various assortments of hair.

GRAND DESIGNS NEW ZEALAND ABC TV, Sunday, 7.40pm

They say a man’s home is his castle, but what one person considers to be attractive and inviting, the other may find dull or intimidating. With Sumita and Cameron Dale (both pictured), it’s fair to say their dream home doesn’t really lend itself to any of these adjectives. The married ex-police officers shun convention by buying a plot of land to build their “lighthouse” dwelling.

Their strict budget and unusual home design results in a building unlike any seen on this series. Tune in to read into presenter Chris Moller’s reaction.

THE AMAZING RACE Seven, Monday, 8.40pm

Where there’s a will, there’s a way for a big-budget extravaganza such as The Amazing Race. Teams kicked off this 33rd season of the competition in February 2020, then resumed filming more than a year later in September 2021. Now, it’s the final leg, with three teams left: flight attendants Raquel and Cayla (both pictured), internet personalities Kim and Penn, and best friends Ryan and Dusty. Filmed using a private jet to avoid COVID complications, the $1 million cash prize seems like a drop in the ocean in comparison.

Sports day a spectacular success

MORWELL’S Big Sports Day has been described as a major success by its organisers.

The event, organised by a range of Latrobe Valley support services and Latrobe City Council, and hosted by Mid Valley Shopping Centre on March 10, had more than 250 people in attendance.

The aim of the Big Sports Day was to help young people and their families connect with local support services.

GippSport’s Den Lim was the driving force behind the big day.

“The event was such a great success with 22 community organisations coming together to provide a wide range of fun activities,” she said.

“It was so amazing to see how passionate the service providers are to support youth and families in Gippsland.

“Special thanks in particular go to Berry Street and YSAS who provided financial support for inclusions such as the popular jumping castle and live music.”

In addition to the jumping castle, there were games of soccer, dodgeball, badge making and more.

This encouraged people to get involved with a bit of fun and learn about what’s out there to support them at the same time.

Ms Lim also gave a special thanks to Mid Valley Shopping Centre and Morwell Neighbourhood Watch.

“Thanks to Mid Valley Shopping Centre and the food outlets for providing the space, donating food and raffle prizes, Coates Hire for supplying the generator, Neighbourhood Watch for cooking up the sausages and everyone else who made the event possible,” she said.

YSAS Community Programs manager Mark Tanti was another organiser and he praised Ms Lim for her dedication to the event.

“I must say that Den did a great job in organising this community event. Even at the last minute, she was able to organise a Jumping Castle and an entertainer for the kids,” he said.

“Den did this with style and grace. She is an amazing event organiser.”

Ms Lim said the team behind the Big Sports Day are looking to deliver these events more often.

“The event partners are so happy with the turn out and success of the event that they want to deliver more of these events at least annually but ideally twice a year or quarterly if financial support is provided,” she said.

Fun and games: Latrobe Health Advocate Jane Anderson, Reclink Australia’s Isaac Copland, GippSport’s Den Lim, and Latrobe City Council’s Georgia Karavis. photograph supplied “We are calling out to businesses who might be interested in partnering for future events.”

Latrobe City Councillor Sharon Gibson is a big supporter of the Big Sports Day and attended the event. She said it was nice to see families and children out enjoying themselves.

“The other part that was heartening to see,

was so many actually enquiring about all the different services that are available to help our community’s children,” Cr Gibson said “So hopefully this will mean that potentially it will save lives.

“A huge thank you to Mark and all the team that enabled as all to come together as a community

for the first time in a long time, which is why there were so many smiling faces.”

Mid Valley Shopping Centre management said they were “proud to sponsor the GippSport Big Sports Day that took place on our lawns, attracting many families and kids of all ages to this free community event.”

Traralgon & District Historical Society

WE wish to remind you that the Society Open Days have resumed.

They are held on the last Sunday of the month between the hours of 2pm and 4pm at the rooms in the Kath Teychenne Centre, 11-13 Breed Street, Traralgon.

Our next Open Day will be held on Sunday, March 27.

All welcome to come and search our catalogue.

The Society has been fortunate to meet Janice Livingstone who is the great great great granddaughter of Edward William Hobson.

Janice was very interested in learning the history of Edward Hobson and his time in Traralgon.

A brief history of the Hobson family is as follows: The first European Settlers at Traralgon were the Hobson family – Dr Edmund Hobson owned the lease of ‘Hobson’s Run’ with his brother Edward William Hobson, who brought cattle to the run in 1844 and managed the property for his brother until 1853.

The run occupied approximately 19,200 acres (7680 ha.), five miles (12.5 km) along the Latrobe River to the north, running south from the river to approximately where Traralgon South is today.

In 1846, Edward married Marie Napper (his cousin).

Edward built his house on the east side of the creek near its entrance to the river.

There were two children – a daughter and a son.

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

In 1853, Edward was able to purchase the West part of the Hobson Run (ie. west of the Traralgon Creek).

He sold this almost immediately to James Purves, who was an employee of the Hobsons’ from the Mornington Peninsula area.

Edward Hobson then left the area.

Traralgon Bridge Club

THE Traralgon Bridge Club Annual General Meeting heralded a big start to a new year of bridge in the Latrobe Valley.

Outgoing president Don Tylee reported on a very difficult year for the club in 2020, but signalled bright times ahead for both old and new members.

Having been flooded out of their former premises at the Traralgon Recreation Reserve in June 2020, the club has now found a new home at the Masonic Lodge function room in Oswald Street, Traralgon.

Members are also now coming back to bridge after the difficulties and interruptions of COVID-19 restrictions and table numbers are almost back to pre-pandemic numbers.

“It was a very difficult with interruptions to our calendar meaning that some annual championships could not be held and there were changes regarding mask

Mr Tylee’s last action as president was to award Moira Hecker with life membership of the club.

“Moira has been on the committee for 18 years and has held numerous leadership positions both at Traralgon Bridge Club and in the regional bridge association,” he said.

“She has been recognised for her willingness to step into difficult roles when needed and also for organising regional and state-wide congresses for the club.”

The AGM heralded in a new era for the club – with a new committee and office bearers who have stepped up to lead the club.

New president Greg Nicholson has brought together an enthusiastic committee who are concentrating on developing new members and learning opportunities for all players.

“Now that we have an excellent facility at our disposal we can once again welcome new members into the club and help them to take up this wonderful game,” Mr Nicholson said.

TRAMPS ride to Maffra a wet one

ON Sunday, March 6, ten TRAMPS riders left Heyfield in damp but windless conditions to ride north then alongside Lake Glenmaggie to Macalister Park, Maffra for lunch.

It rained all day and sometimes we could see the beautiful scenery.

The group rode the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail back through Tinamba to Heyfield. It is now possible to ride, off-road from Morwell to Stratford on the shared pathways and rail trails.

TRAMPS welcomes new riders.

Clean Up Australia Day in Tyers Park

DESPITE the wet and miserable conditions, a number of hardy volunteers from the Friends of Tyers Park turned out on Clean Up Australia Day to remove rubbish dumped in the park.

The 1800 hectare bushland park is located just north of Tyers and Yallourn North.

Unfortunately it too often suffers from the illegal dumping of rubbish.

This year an estimated five cubic metres of rubbish was collected weighing around two tonnes.

The rubbish included everything from whitegoods to garden waste.

The Friends of Tyers Park and other groups such as 4WD clubs have been

BRILLIANT TENNIS IN ALL TRARALGON FINAL

WHITLAM PROMISES TO ACT ON LV PROMOTION

Practical decentralisation needed a joint Commonwealth-State effort, the Leader of the Federal Opposition, Mr Gough Whitlam, said in Morwell on Monday.

Mr Whitlam said that under the present government, there was no meaning promotion of decentralisation.

He said appreciated decentralisation was a pressing issue in the Latrobe Valley.

“It was one of the five areas selected in 1967 for accelerated development,” he said.

“A Labor government would ratify the 1967 selections and collaborate with the state government to implement the recommendations made in the report of that time.”

HEPATITIS – 20 CASES

Another eight cases of hepatitis were reported to health officials in Traralgon during March.

This makes a total of 20 cases reported in the past two months.

Traralgon’s Medical Officer of Health Dr Trevor McLean, said the marked rise in the incidence of infectious hepatitis cause concern, but a detailed examination of the cases notified revealed no definite pattern to enable it to be traced to any common source of infection.

TRARALGON CUP WON BY TIPPING TIME

Tipping Time, who had shown no worthwhile form recently, was heavily supported to start the 7-4 favourite in the Traralgon Cup and won like the good thing it apparently was.

Melbourne trainer George Hanlon had Tipping Time entered in the Scoresby Welter at Sandown last Wednesday, but scratched the horse in preference for a Traralgon Cup start.

Melbourne apprentice Norman Waymouth had the ride on the winner and rode a confident race.

Traralgon Copyright finished a brilliant season off in perfect conditions on Saturday, outplaying Traralgon APM in all departments to claim the 1991-92 Gippsland Tennis Premiership.

Traralgon has been the force in Gippsland tennis for more than a decade and it has a base of brilliant juniors which will keep the flag flying for many years.

FUN FACT – The new Aussie Rules footy game on Nintendo 64 was on sale for $74 at Zigzag in Traralgon.

Gippsland Trades and Labour Council vice-president Georg Wragg said yesterday, that breakdowns threaten the power supply day and night and will do so until at least next summer.

“Our blokes are battling to keep the plant going,” he said.

“Last Friday it was touch and go, with 1450 megawatts out of service through breakdowns.”

TWO NEW TENNIS CHAMPIONS

The Latrobe Valley Tennis Association has two new open singles champions.

Last Sunday at Morwell, Mike Andrijczak was in top form to defeat his arch rival Murray French and wrest the men’s title from him 6-7 6-3 6-2.

Margaret Stickney took out the women’s singles championship, playing relentless tennis to defeat Allison Beck 6-2 6-0.

Both Andrijczak and Stickney play number one for Churchill in the Gippsland Tennis Association.

LRH PLAN FACES LEGAL CHALLENGE

TO YINNAR … NEW TRIPLETS!

A public meeting in Moe has foreshadowed legal action to halt the rationalisation of services at Latrobe Regional Hospital.

The meeting of 600 people in Newborough last Friday voted to push for a ministerial inquiry into the issue and further resolved to call on Moe City Council to initiate legal action if ‘’open and honest’’ consultation at local and ministerial level fails.

UNIONS SLAM SPARE POWER CLAIM

EVERYBODY OUT AS GAS MAIN FIRES UP

Three-year-old Emma Clegg of Yinnar suddenly has three little brothers – the first set of triplets to be born to a Yinnar family for 38 years.

Her mother, Heather, gave birth to Andrew James, Christopher John and Daniel Stephen between 11.45am and 12.05pm on Monday, and their dad Steve is as proud as punch.

GIPPSLAND SHOULD LOOK TO CHINA

Gippsland has the potential to successfully market its assets in China.

That was the claim from Australia China Business Council Victoria Branch president Barry White who told the Gippsland Development Economic Forum on Friday that China was a major growth market for Australia, including Gippsland.

“There are positives and Gippsland has some of these positives (such as) the structure of our trade,” he said.

“Despite the fact that past governments have made a lot of noise about focusing on sophisticated technology and IT, the large proportion of our trade is in primary products.”

PREFERENCES TURN ELECTION

Preferences in the Lorikeet Ward by-election have confirmed public and private claims the election may turn into a two-horse race.

Voters received their postal ballots last week to discover candidates’ preferences will dramatically boost the chances of leading contenders Peter Tyler and Harry Alexander.

From the other eight candidates, Mr Tyler has received three first preferences and two second preferences.

Mr Alexander, a former Traralgon Shire Council secretary and member of the Fair Play campaign, has received two first preferences and three second preferences.

RAIDERS SURVIVE FIGHTBACK

Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders have won back-to-back Traralgon District Cricket Association premierships following an enthralling grand final at the weekend.

Raiders appeared to have the match won from the opening session of the match only to have it nearly snatched from their grasp in the final session as they were forced to hang on grimly for victory.

Batting first after winning the toss, Churchill was bundled out for 45 with Les Brown (4/12), Brett Knowles (2/7), Jeff

Knowles (2/8) and Troy Darby (2/11) running riot.

Raiders posted 151 in reply, with Brett Knowles (67) top-scoring.

Craig Flanigan (5/28) and Shane Dunn (4/34) did the bulk of the damage with the ball for Churchill.

With plenty of time left in the two-day clash, Churchill set about trying to set some sort of target and made 161 in its second dig, setting Raiders 56 for outright victory.

Flanigan and Dunn turned up the heat and the wickets began to tumble.

The Raiders slumped from 1/26 to 8/53 when Brown, the man of the match, was bowled by Flanigan.

Rob Semmler survived the two most harrowing balls of his cricketing life to guarantee victory for Raiders, with Chris Stanlake unbeaten on 17.

FUN FACT – A smart three bedroom brick veneer home within close proximity to schools, the leisure centre and Morwell CBD was on the market for $94,000 with Keith Williams Real Estate.

VALLEY NEEDS HELP: VU

Less than 100 days from the federal government’s carbon tax introduction, a university study has found the government has exaggerated the Latrobe Valley’s ability to cope with the impact of the tax.

According to an independent report recently released by Victoria University, modelling used by the government makes ‘’optimistic assumptions about the population and economic growth rates’’ for the region.

The modelling assumed a healthy rate of economic growth and failed to consider the impact of a carbon price if an economy was in recession or faced declining employment opportunities, the report said.

MORWELL SKATERS RAMPED UP

The wheels are in motion for the development of the $350,000 Morwell Skate Park after Latrobe City Council supported the final concept design plan last week.

Skate and bike users attended three council workshops last year and contributed to the details and designs of the final plan, which is part of the council construction program for the 2012/13 financial year.

Latrobe City councillor Bruce Lougheed urged council to support the plan as the skate park has ‘’long been awaited for by the youth of this area”.

DANNI’S SLAM DUNK

Traralgon Secondary College student Danni Pearce has been named as an emergency in the Under-17 Australian women’s basketball squad.

Pearce, who aims to play basketball professionally, attended a development camp in Canberra and received the good news on Sunday.

“I was so excited to be selected,” she said.

FUN FACT – A four-bedroom plus study home in Traralgon South on a ¾ acre block was on the market for $338,000 with Stockdale & Leggo Latrobe Valley.

UNDER-15 MARK up a tick in the ‘W’ column for the Gippsland Under-15 squad, who scored a 3-0 win over Kingston City.

Gippsland was able to make a bright start to the game with a positive approach right across the park.

Lucas Halden, Spencer Boughton and Ryder Colantuono were able provide a real springboard from defence giving their attacking players plenty of balls to run onto and challenge the Kingston goal.

By the middle of the half Gippsland quickly had three goals on the board through Dylan Rosato, Jesse Dugard and Aiden Rodriguez.

All the goals were through quick, attacking team play.

Kingston played their way back into the game in the second half, gaining the ascendency in the midfield and making repeat entries into the Gippsland 18-yard box.

Keeper Jedd Foster was able to keep a clean sheet through the assistance of a stout defensive team effort to keep Kingston goalless.

UNDER-16 FINALLY playing confident football the Under16 boys believed they could take the game against Kingston City out.

They controlled the ball in the centre and the ball was driven forward regularly.

Neither team could break through the opposition’s defence. Kingston scored in the 21st minute.

Gippsland did not give up and went into the half-time break down 1-0.

After the break, the ball continued to be played in the middle of pitch.

Kingston was on top for the first 15 minutes of the second half, but Gippsland began to fight back. They had several shots on goal without hitting the back of the net.

In the dying minutes Kingston City scored again. Gippsland going down 3-0.

UNDER-18 GIPPSLAND FC Under-18 took on Kingston in a must-win game in Trafalgar.

Gippsland FC proved quick out of the blocks

In control: Gippsland FC’s Brody Demagistris.

and after a turnover in the midfield Tana Betera headed home the game’s first goal in the opening minute of play.

Gippsland FC was unlucky not to go further in front with several clearcut chances on offer.

Kingston settled and started to get into the game and 15 minutes before half-time scores were level again after a penalty was expertly converted.

Kingston was on top and only some great team

defence by Gippsland FC would help keep the game tied at half-time.

The game was in the balance for most of the second-half, with several good chances at both ends.

It felt as though one goal would win the contest and it would be Gippsland FC captain, Harry Tosch smashing the ball into the back of the net to give Gippsland FC the lead which they would hold onto until the final whistle.

Gippsland FC 2 defeated Kingston 1.

by the Saints, who went down 15.12 (102) to 12.13 (85).

Despite an injury-interrupted pre-season, Morwell’s Changkuoth Jiath played an important role in Hawthorn’s 20-point win against North Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.

Jiath, wearing the famous No.9 jumper for the first time, overcame a PCL knee injury to be fit for the opening round clash.

He was one of the Hawks stars in a result which gave new coach Sam Mitchell a winning debut as Hawthorn coach.

The defender gathered 24 possessions (nine kicks, 15 handballs), took five marks, had nine intercept possessions and sent the ball inside 50 on three occasions in the 11.12 (78) to 8.10 (58) success.

Fellow Morwell product Ben Ainsworth played a pivotal role as Gold Coast defeated West Coast by 20 points at Optus Stadium.

Ainsworth kicked two goals and had 18 possessions (13 kicks, five handballs) in the 16.11 (107) to 12.8 (80) victory.

Former Moe player Sam Flanders did not earn selection in the opening round clash.

Valley ace Vuillermin seals Victorian Standard Saloon Championship title SPEEDWAY

By DEAN THOMPSON

BAIRNSDALE Speedway Association hosted the annual Victorian Standard Saloon title over the Labour Day long weekend and with 78 entries attending the event was a huge success for the local entertainment provider with a huge crowd on both nights enjoying the family atmosphere and the sensational on track race action.

Jacob Vuillermin from the Latrobe Valley went on to win the big event from South Gippsland’s Rhys Lansdown and Bairnsdale club member Mitch Foster.

Two nights of action began on night one with 21 qualifying races for the Standard Saloons supported by racing from the Hot Rods and Unlimited Sedans.

After night one of race action Vuillermin had won his three races thus far and led the points table from defending champion Shane Stewart.

Winners on night one were in order Mitch Foster, Scott Whittle, Chris Stewart, Vuillermin, Paul Domburg, Brodie Ardley, Josh Thomas, Cory Horter, Whittle again, Lansdown, Craig Templeton, Matt Domburg, Vuillermin, Shane Stewart, Micheal Fleming-Robertson, Matt Leek, Shane Stewart, Paul Domburg, Vuillermin, Dean Spring, and Ash Fythe.

Huge crashes to Dev Saunders and Rob Tatterson saw them end of their race cars for the weekend after night one.

The final two rounds of qualifying for the championship race was on night two with wins to Kane Gibson, Templeton, Robin Rundell, Nick Chrystie, Kasey Ingram, Mark Miles, Lansdown, Mitch Blencowe, Foster, Warrick Howie, Vuillermin, Fythe, Aaron Meakins and Lansdown once again.

In the last chance qualifier, Daniel Stewart, the Victoria three driver leading into the event, qualified for the title race, as did Ardley, Mitch Blencowe, and Wayne Sheerman, after passing Spring on the final lap of 20.

Vuillermin and Lansdown qualified in the top two spots for the 30-lap title race with Shane Stewart, Foster, Paul Domburg and Whittle the top six starters.

As the race got underway Vuillermin who had damaged his car in his fourth heat up against the turn three concrete wall and raced and won the fourth heat with the damage and continued on in the final with the car as good as his crew could get it to be, assumed the lead of the race.

Defending champion Shane Stewart with a flat tyre exited the race on lap four and on the same lap his brother Daniel also finished infield.

At the 10-lap mark twenty cars were still

Podium: Chris Stewart (Morwell), Rhys Lansdown (Koo Wee Rup), Jake Vuillermin (Traralgon), Mitch Foster (Trafalgar), Nick Chrystie (Rye) at Bairnsdale Speedway.

and Mitch Blencowe were the next drivers to leave the race track with damage or mechanical issues

with Matt Domburg and Whittle swapping places in the top five.

As the second third of the race finished Vuillermin was leading Lansdown, Foster, Chrystie, and Matt Domburg with still 18 cars on the race track. Cory Horter was the next driver to finish infield and out of the race with five laps to go there were 17 cars competing and Vuillermin still leading the title race.

As lap 30 of the race circulated, Ardley came to a stop on the track and among the confusion Vuillermin passed the chequered flag, as did five other race drivers before the caution flag and lights came on.

Officials declared the race completed and Vuillermin became a first-time Victorian champion taking the win from Lansdown, Foster, Chrystie, and Chris Stewart promoted into fifth when another competitors damaged differential could not be checked for compliance to rules.

After the race an emotionally drained Vuillermin spoke to media.

“I have spent the last four days before the event getting the car ready after work with dad and my brother and I practically have not seen my missus and my son. I really appreciate their support so much, my family,” he said.

“I have podiumed before and was determined pre-event to give this a serious crack on one of my favourite tracks.

“Well done to the Bairnsdale Speedway people for how they ran the event and for what they provided for us competitors in the way of camping and facilities like showers etc on site.

“Congratulations to the other drivers on their results and thank you to everybody for their support.”

Other racing on the weekend included the Unlimited Sedans who competed in two features over the weekend with a series round on night one and a club points event on night two.

Corey McDonald won the final on night one by more than 10 seconds as he flew around Bairnsdale Speedway in his turbo charged 3.8 litre Buick powered race car.

Sale man Johnny Young finished second from Peter Cox, Corey Ramsdale and Gavin Ough.

On night two Young picked up the victory in front of Troy Hutchison from the Latrobe Valley, Travis Ramsdale, Tim Williams, and Peter Cox. Speedway Drivers Association of Victorian Hot Rod racing was also on for the weekend and on night one Shannon Meakins took the win from Dean West, Phil Jenkins, Eddie Ivermee and Kali Hovey.

On night two Phil Jenkins won from Meakins, West, Ivermee and Kali Hovey.

Final edition of Duncan’s Run a fabulous event

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By BARRY HIGGINS

A BREATHTAKING number of Harriers and friends gave strong support to the final running of Duncan’s Run on Saturday.

As always the atmosphere was bright, cheerful and friendly with food and drink stalls and incredible friendliness between all, with enthusiastic support for the participants.

Some keen Harrier members did the Traralgon parkrun and then travelled to Balook to tackle the Duncan’s 6km event – perhaps a cool down run after their parkrun exertions!

We know who you are, Shane, Chris and Angelo!

In a Harriers clean sweep of the 6km event Molly Irvine was first woman and outright first, ahead of Shane Gavin, the first male finisher. Chris Van

Unen was overall third. Close behind Chris was outstanding junior Harrier Jack Marino, whose parents Emma and Seppe both ran the 21km event.

Harriers also dominated the 21km endurance run, with Corey Milner outright first with Greg Semmler and Ian Cornthwaite in the top four.

Kylie Murray continued her recent outstanding form finishing first woman with Kay Arrowsmith second and Bryanna Mifsud third.

Harrier members also finished in the top of the large fields for the 50km and 100km ultra-distance events.

Duncan’s Run selected results: 6km (81 starters): Molly Irvine 1st 33:31, Shane Gavin 2nd 34:57, Christopher Van Unen 3rd 36:09, Jack Marino 38:37, Tania Whitehead 42:40, Kathleen Kent 45:03, Angelo Gaudiano 46:51, Diana Van Rhine 47:22, Michael Walker 47:30, Phill Mayer 47:30, David Hood 47:57, Sue Stranger 47:57, Danelle Wright 48:30, Mattias Preston 51:52, Ann Bomers 54:59, Allison Triggs 55:41, Denise Twite 1:00:53, Barry

LAST Thursday’s Traralgon Racecourse 5km was very well attended despite humid conditions.

While finishing results were not available in time for publication of a more descriptive report, competition was keen and the event afforded a vigorous warm-up leading into Duncan’s Run over the trails at Tarra-Bulga National Park.

Tomorrow’s (March 24) event is a 5km course from the intersection of Rose Avenue and Dunbar Road, Traralgon. Starting time for most categories is from 6pm.

This run also offers the chance for a hit-out before the popular Traralgon Harriers’ DFP Recruitment Fun Run and Walk at 9pm this Sunday, March 27 from Kernot Hall, Morwell.

Great guns: Sienna Privitera in action for Gippsland United during their Big V debut.

Perfect start for Gippsland United BASKETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND United didn’t have to wait long to get its first Big V win on the board, saluting on debut last Saturday night.

The men proved too strong for Maccabi, winning 99-64, while the women made an emphatic statement, annihilating Collingwood 103-30 at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.

Gippsland United has been established as the region’s club to participate in the Big V and Victorian Junior Basketball League.

Years of lobbying and consultation culminated in the creation of Gippsland United, which is a joint project between the Traralgon Amateur Basketball Association and the Combined Gippsland Basketball Association (also known as Latrobe City Energy).

With a now truly all-encompassing team flying the Gippsland flag in the sport of basketball at an elite level, it is hoped Gippsland United will provide a pathway for players to make their way to the National Basketball League, or even to the United States and the NBA. In the immediate however, Gippsland United is focused on moving through the Big V Division 2 competition.

Men’s coach Scott McKenzie said it was pleasing to start the season off on a positive note.

“It was a bit of an unknown being our first game and not knowing anything about the opposition so it was more of a relief than anything,” he said.

“We got off to a reasonably good start and we built on each quarter, we extended the lead each quarter.

“In front of a home crowd, first game, new club, it was perfect to be able to put a win on the board.”

United led 25-14 at quarter time and took that out to an 18-point margin by the main break.

With Gippsland United drawing from such a large area, McKenzie said this unique dynamic added to the sense of excitement for what the new team was about.

“This team is representing the whole of Gippsland, that is Phillip Island to Lakes Entrance, whereas I

think in the past it has more been Latrobe Valley,” he said.

“We have 14 players in our squad and nine of them represent different CBL (Country Basketball League) associations throughout the league, so to put our first real game together as a whole group, to have a win like that was very pleasing.”

With the win now confined to the record books, McKenzie said the team was under no illusions as to what was on the horizon.

“We definitely aren’t getting carried away, we know that there is three or four really talented sides out there,” he said.

“Div 2 is a really interesting level of basketball, you get a lot of retired NBL, NBL1 players coming back into Div 2 who are still more than capable of playing the game so the competition is quite strong.”

Gippsland United women got off to a dream start, winning by 73 points.

Despite the one-nature of their victory, coach Gail Macfarlane said it was pleasing to see the side maintain winning habits all the way through rather than just run the game out once the result was beyond doubt.

“It was very positive to get some cobwebs and wrinkles out of the way, bit of a nervous start for most of the team, they just stuck to the plan and kept grinding away and eventually everything locked into place,” she said.

“Really great to get everyone involved in the scoreboard, really happy with the culture in the team as well.

“We didn’t really know what to expect, you never know until they turn up and start to play, we’re not going to take anything for granted any week.”

Gippsland United men are back home this Saturday, playing Sherbrooke from 8pm.

The women have a double-header, and will play Wallan on Saturday at home from 6pm and then travel to Mullum Mullum Stadium to take on Blackburn the following day.

Falcons pay a special tribute to Don SOCCER

By LIAM DURKIN

FALCONS 2000 Soccer Club opened its Latrobe Valley Soccer League season on Saturday with a poignant tribute to the late great Don Di Fabrizio OAM. The legendary Falcons patron died in January, aged 88.

Di Fabrizio was a giant of the Latrobe Valley, making an inedible impact on business and the community, taking Falcons from a small country club all the way to the National Soccer League.

A litany of players, officials and patrons descended on Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium to pay their respects as the Falcons of today began their LVSL campaign.

Those in attendance heard tributes delivered by members of the Di Fabrizio family, before a legends match was played featuring players from the NSL days.

The legends game saw players come from as far as Brisbane and Sydney to take part, before the senior men’s match between Falcons 2000 and Traralgon City kicked-off.

Di Fabrizio would have surely been smiling from above after Falcons won 5-0.

The Falcons women’s side also saluted earlier in the day, winning 9-1.

Falcons’ players and officials past and present gathered in the club rooms after the senior match to reminiscence and remember the legacy of a man whose name adorns the grandstand at Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium.

Falcons 2000 is planning to have a memorial cup established to be played in Di Fabrizio’s honour in coming seasons.

Fitting: Falcons players from the National Soccer League days came together to play a legends match in remembrance of Don Di Fabrizio on Saturday.

Tribute: Don Di Fabrizio was remembered as a giant of the Latrobe Valley.

One in a million: Don Di Fabrizio wrote the history on Morwell Falcons Soccer Club.

Respect: Don DiFabrizio’s son Steve addresses the crowd. photographs falcons 2000

Opening round of LVSL delivers entertainment SOCCER LVSL

By LAURIE WILLIAMS

FALCONS celebrated the life of Don Di Fabrizio in a moving ceremony featuring many people from the past who reflected on the times they had with the ‘Don’.  FALCONS v TRARALGON CITY

IT didn’t take Falcons ace Jamie Pistrin long to establish himself as the game’s leading striker as he become the first player of the season to score.

Pistrin hit the back of the net after only two minutes against Traralgon City on Saturday night.

Falcons were down six players who attended a wedding, but their replacements showed that the regular players will have to fight hard for inclusion.

Impressive displays by newcomers Luz Mapiye, Sam Lietzau, Toby Capp and Callum Dominguez showed the depth of talent that Falcons have recruited this season.

After building up a good first-half with a 3-0 buffer, the misery continued for Traralgon City in the second stanza with a goal only seconds from the half-time restart.

Pistrin was in command up forward with a hat-trick with Nonda Lazaris again showing flashes of brilliance.

At times, Traralgon City goalkeeper Allan Bateman was forced to make some good saves, but overall the lapses in defence by City allowed too many shots at goal by Falcons, putting him under extreme pressure.

Nighttime action seems to be enjoyed by the Falcons, but a small number of people have had difficulty in picking out player’s numbers under the bright lights.

A black number on blue background is difficult to see in daylight and at night it is almost impossible.

Falcons ran out 5-0 winners.  PEGASUS v EAST GIPPSLAND

PEGASUS won their second match over East Gippsland in strong fashion with a 6-1 scoreline, three goals coming in each half.

The fleet-footed Pegasus team were a class above their opponents but East Gippsland made Pegasus work hard for their goals.

Bienfait Kagayo had Pegasus on the board at 16 minutes then Nelson Tombra doubled up at 21 minutes.

Kuku Mahmoud made it 3-0 at 38 minutes, but a defensive error by Pegasus saw an own goal just before half-time.

Leading 3-1 at half-time Pegasus went into the second stanza with a strong breeze and after a lot of pressure from Thomas Forster and Josh West from East, were made to earn every kick.

Kuku Mahmoud scored his second from a long range free kick which took goalkeeper David Pachi by surprise.

East Gippsland created some chances but the strong backline held the Eagles out.

Manny Tombra at 82 minutes scored a dazzler and Mahmoud scored his hat-trick to give Pegasus a good 6-1 win.

For the winners Mahmoud, Manny, Nelson Tombra and Andre Antonopoulos were all valuable players while for the East they had good triers in Mikey Smith, West and Forster.  MOE v FORTUNA

MOE had to come from behind twice to overpower a strong Fortuna side in Sunday’s match of the round.

A huge crowd at Moe saw some positive signs from both teams as the tug of war began.

Fortuna scored first from a brilliant shot by Hayden Tanti at 35 minutes in to break the deadlock, his bullet shot giving Peter Albanese no chance.

Fortuna’s lead only lasted a few minutes when a Riley Winkelman curler beat the keeper to level the scores.

Fortuna went back on the attack and regained the lead when Ryan McAuley put one past the Moe keeper.

It was end to end work with both teams being urged on by their faithful supporters.

Moe’s debut coach Connor O’Hanlon levelled the scores with a spot kick after a Fortuna handball.

At 2-2 the game was going down to the wire, but O’Hanlon on the end of a Matt Shearing cross was able to hit the back of the net to give Moe a lead which they kept until the final whistle to win 3-2 in a thrilling match.  MONASH v CHURCHILL

CHURCHILL had to come from behind to level their match against Monash.

After a scoreless first-half, Monash gained the lead four minutes into the second-half.

Constant turnovers saw limited scoring chances by both sides and Monash was content to hold onto their slender lead.

Churchill fought their way back into the match when Blake Whykes evaded tackles and scored the equaliser in a tough encounter.

The Rams nearly pinched the winner in the dying minutes, but the Monash keeper was equal to the task.

Page 48 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 23 March, 2022

Both teams had to be content with a 1-1 draw.  NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN v SALE

A REVITALISED Sale almost caused the biggest upset in the opening round when they faced Newborough/Yallourn.

All eyes were on Sale coach Anouk Meereboer as she revved up her charges and for a while it looked like Sale could provide plenty of spirit.

The Swans hit the lead after 20 minutes and hung onto that lead until nine minutes into the second-half when Newborough/Yallourn was able to equalise.

It was a tough match with neither team being able to break the deadlock.

Eventually with pressure Newborough/ Yallourn was able to break free, taking the lead 10 minutes later for a 2-1 lead which they maintained until the final whistle.

Sale showed that they may be a force this season with an impressive display against good opposition.

ROUND 2 PREVIEW  MOE v FALCONS (7pm Saturday).

FALCONS are again under the spotlight with their second match under lights this time at Moe’s Olympic Park.

Moe finished on top last season, but were not rewarded for their efforts due to COVID. Falcons after a good win over Traralgon City in the league opener will need to replace “filler” players who stepped up to replace senior players who were unavailable last Saturday.

Coach Mark Cassar has the task, which won’t be easy to select his best team against Moe. Falcons striker Jamie Pistrin was on fire last week and Moe will need to keep him under check.

Former Moe player Sam Lietzau, now with Falcons will be up against his former team mates who will try to intimidate him.

Moe coach Connor O’Hanlon is a top-class addition as his two goals against Fortuna demonstrated.

His leadership will be a telling factor here and Moe can look forward to another tough test.

RECORD: Played: 50, Moe 24, Falcons 18, drawn 8.

Last time: Falcons 3-0.  NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN v TRARALGON CITY (3pm Sunday).

NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN struggled

against an enthusiastic Sale last weekend, but still managed to gain the points in a tough encounter.

Traralgon City met a strong Falcons side and were easily defeated.

City will be keen to do better against Newborough/Yallourn and make them fight hard for every kick.

RECORD: Played: 42, Traralgon City 18, Newborough/ Yallourn 16, drawn 8. Last time: Newborough/Yallourn 5-0.  SALE v PEGASUS (3pm Sunday).

THIS game may be closer than expected after the good fight by Sale against Newborough/ Yallourn last week.

Going down by only one goal against one of the super teams was a good effort by the Swans and will give their new coach plenty to think about.

Pegasus faced lesser opposition last week, but are still a team that has speedy players who are hard to stop Sale will need to put the pressure on Pegasus from the start to give themselves a real chance of beating the Horsemen.

RECORD: Played 48, Pegasus 33, Sale 11, drawn 4.

Last time: Pegasus 3-0.  CHURCHILL v EAST GIPPSLAND (3pm Sunday).

EAST Gippsland have beaten Churchill more times than any other team as they make the trip west to face the Rams.

Churchill secured a point from last week’s game against Monash, but showed they have fire and determination and they fancy themselves against the Eagles who were soundly beaten by Pegasus.

RECORD: Played: 10 Churchill 6, East Gippsland 4.

Last time: Churchill 1-0.  MONASH v FORTUNA (3pm Sunday).

ONE of the biggest rivalries is between Monash and Fortuna who have faced off 119 times with Fortuna having the better results over the years.

Fortuna went down to Moe last weekend, but can take plenty from the match and will look to bounce back against Monash.

The Wolves survived a hard clash against Churchill and will need to be at the top of their game against Fortuna.

RECORD: Played 119, Fortuna 62, Monash 35, drawn 22. Last time: 3-3 draw.

Churchill and CATS will fight it out at Ted Summerton Reserve, Moe for this season’s Premier A title.

The best team of the 2021/22 campaign is up against a side that has emerged as a contender in recent weeks.

Churchill finished 10 points clear on top of the ladder at the conclusion of the home-and-away season, with just two losses to its name.

The Cobras have certainly made a mockery of their pre-season declaration to The Express that they “won’t be as good as we were last season”, and will go into the grand final with eight consecutive wins behind them.

CATS too are in form, having not dropped a game in over a month.

CATS, with their genuine X-Factor players in Cal Stewart and Tinashe Panyangara, have the ability to walk games in, although the question on most people’s lips will be: did CATS play their grand final last week?

After winning a pulsating semi-final by four runs, it will be intriguing to see if there is any emotional baggage from those in the CATS line-up.

Speaking of line-up, one would expect both teams will go in unchanged, although this being a grand final there are often curveball selections.

While it is highly dangerous to tinker with a settled team, there can be some logic in plucking someone from obscurity.

Just think of Marlion Pickett - how do you plan for someone you’ve never seen before?

Churchill probably won’t feel a need to change their order. The Cobras are seasoned cricketers and another grand final could well just be a case of ‘been here before’.

Grand final day will mark a fifth consecutive A Grade decider for Churchill.

The Cobras made the grand final in their last season in the Traralgon and District Cricket Association and have made the grand final in every season the LVDCL has been in existence.

As most cricketers are also footballers, you would be hard pressed to find a town that has enjoyed as much recent success in the two sports as Churchill.

With five cricket grand final appearances and appearances in the last two North Gippsland Football-Netball League grand finals, Churchill certainly mounts a strong case as a sporting beacon.

Cobra players Brendan Mason, John Keighran, Ryan Harvey and Steve Warr will bring no shortage of experience into the contest this weekend, which will surely count for something.

CATS by contrast has undergone a more up-anddown last few years, making the Premier A Grade grand final in 2018/19 before getting relegated the very next season to winning the A Grade flag last season to be promoted again.

It now finds itself back playing in a Premier A Grade decider, again against Churchill, just as it was three years ago.

The general consensus last season was that CATS were ‘too good’ for A Grade. Now that they have a Premier A Grade grand final to play, they have the chance to show just how good they are.

You would be brave to tip against Churchill,

A GRADE

Leading from the front: CATS captain Ben Julin will be looking to pull off an upset in the Latrobe Valley District Cricket League Premier A Grade grand final. file photograph although this writer did say ever so quietly last week CATS was a dark horse for the premiership.

MOE and Trafalgar will meet at Yinnar Turf for the A Grade premiership.

The Lions and Ships finished the regular season in the top two on their respective ladder, meaning a good contest should be on the cards.

Trafalgar lost only one more game than Moe during the home-and-away, while both traded wins against each other the two times they played.

Andrew Philip and Rhys Holdsworth will no doubt take top billing for Moe and Trafalgar and could be the difference, but the Lions and Ships have had an even contribution from players with either bat or ball this season, which should provide the opportunity for many to put in a match defining moment.

Generally in a grand final there is always one unassuming hero, someone who has perhaps flown under the radar all season and chipped in with a few handy 20s or cheeky two-fors that plays out of their skin on the big stage.

Just who that player ends up being will add to the narrative of what takes place on the day.

As bizarre as it sounds, Saturday will also present a rematch two years in the making for a game that was never played.

Moe and Trafalgar were scheduled to play each other in the 2019/20 A Grade grand final,

only for the match to be abandoned due to COVID. In the wash-up, the Ships were awarded the premiership after ending the regular season as minor premier.

As many of the Moe and Trafalgar players from then are still around, Saturday will at least give players the chance to play in a grand final, while also giving some indication as to whether or not the Ships won that premiership on their own merit or were simply handed it.

From a club perspective, Trafalgar could also see this game as a stepping stone in expediting the process of getting a turf wicket.

If the Ships happen to win and get back into Premier A Grade, they could hold some significant bargaining power in seeing their turf wicket dream come true.

The players themselves will surely want to return to the top flight and avenge what was a fairly dismal maiden campaign last season.

With just three days to go before the grand finals, a great deal of excitement is sure to surround the clubs involved.

Before the day arrives however, players and officials might like to draw on a passage from Act 2 Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, in what could well be the only time you will ever see Shakespeare quoted in a sporting story: “Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast.”

CATS win thriller to book GF berth

CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

JUST like life, the semi-finals of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League proved to be cruel to some yet so kind to others.

Of the four games across the two divisions, one stood out for its grandstand finish.

CATS won through to the grand final after a nerve-killing four run win in Premier A. The match against Morwell came down to the very last over of the day, where it became ecstasy for one and agony for the other.

Unfortunately somebody had to lose, and in the finish, it was a run-out with three balls to spare that sealed the Tigers fate.

More on that later, for now, let’s set the scene for what may well go down as one of the most epic finals ever played in Gippsland cricket.

CATS skipper Ben Julin called correctly at the coin toss and elected to bat first at Keegan Street Reserve.

Tinashe Panyangara wasted no time getting his innings underway, and raced to a half century off just 38 balls.

Morwell wrestled the ascendancy back, and had CATS precariously placed at 3/71.

Nathan Harrup and Josh Keyhoe then built a partnership of 58 for the fourth wicket, before Keyhoe was dismissed for a busy 33 off 43 balls.

Younger brother Dylan chipped in with a vital 30 off 34 ball batting at number eight, as Harrup batted with the rest of the lower order to see himself to a score of 47 and CATS to 8/221 from their allotted overs.

Wickets were shared in the Morwell camp. Sam Mooney took 3/30 and Brendan Brincat and Mark Cukier each picked up two.

The Tigers started shakily in reply, slipping to 3/36, but the experienced head of Cukier at the top of the order proved a calming influence, as he combined with Blake Mills to drag Morwell out of trouble.

The pair put on 100 for the fourth wicket. Cukier was the first to go, making 55, and Mills followed against the run of play some time later for a wellmade 61.

At this stage Morwell was 5/165, however Sam Hoch was able to provide CATS with an opening by taking the key wicket of Brincat and then Rob Semmler to leave the Tigers 7/185 and the contest on a knife’s edge.

Who would you rather be?

CATS used a variety of bowlers to deliver chop-out overs in the lead-up to bringing opening quicks Panyangara and Cal Stewart back on for the last six to try and blast out the tail.

CATS recruited these players to win finals and that is exactly what they did as the equation became five to win off the last two overs with three wickets in hand.

Stewart delivered the penultimate over, and with a game plan consisting of ‘nose or toes’, went for the latter. Stewart nailed six yorkers and took two wickets, one bowled and one leg before, to close with a double wicket maiden.

The equation: five off six with one wicket in hand. Should CATS have given a single to the new batsman to keep him on strike for the last over?

Keeping in mind a tie would see Morwell through to the grand final as the higher ranked team.

All was to be revealed in a few balls time.

With the white four piece in the hands of Panyangara, the former Zimbabwean Test player delivered three dot balls to start.

Five off three.

The Morwell batsmen set off for a run on the fourth ball, and turned to come back for the second, but Josh Keyhoe, with ice in his veins, steadied in the outfield and delivered a perfect bounce throw into Panyangara who took the stumps to see the run-out completed and Morwell bowled out for 217.

Four runs was the difference. Four measly runs.

And people say cricket is boring.

CHURCHILL did as most people expected in the other Premier A semi-final.

The Cobras had too much fire power for Raiders, and won by six wickets at Ted Summerton Reserve.

Raiders batted first after winning the toss, and closed at 9/185.

A 70-run partnership for the second wicket between Mick Higgins and Liam Maynard highlighted the innings, but no other pair was able to make much of an impression.

After Maynard left for 54 the score was 4/124, which became 8/158 some time later.

Madura Perera made 32 and Chris Stanlake 27 off 24 balls.

Ric Velardi led the bowling effort for Churchill, nabbing 4/29, while fellow spinner Matt Harvey grabbed 2/31.

The Cobras were never really in a great deal of trouble in reply, despite losing a few wickets.

Brendan Mason got a good look at the wicket he

will be batting on this week, and ended up scoring 86 from 89 balls.

Mason hit 11 fours in his knock, which included some extraordinarily timed baseball-style shots over mid-wicket off the bowling of Perera.

Those who know cricket will know the distinct ‘cracking’ sound the ball makes when it has been perfectly timed off the bat, almost like a shotgun.

You could tell from this sound how well Mason was hitting them toward the end.

John Keighran provided a good foil, making 27 not out from 31 balls as Churchill passed the required total in the 39th over.

TRAFALGAR won a low scoring semi-final against Centrals in A Grade.

The Lions made three changes to the team that played Trafalgar the week prior, while the Ships took an unchanged line-up into the match.

Trafalgar elected to bowl first at Burrage Reserve, Newborough, sticking to a formula that had served them well in matches against Centrals during the regular season.

Jackson Noonan struck in his first over, and from there all bowlers were able to hit good areas to create chances.

A diving catch down the leg side from wicketkeeper Col Parnall gave the Ships even more of a spark, as Centrals collapsed to be all out for 104 inside 40 overs.

Noonan took 3/34 while Aiden George added to his championship points with 4/19.

The Trafalgar ship was in a fierce storm early as it set about chasing the runs, falling to 2/15.

The hull needed urgent repairing to keep it afloat when Rhys Holdsworth was dismissed for a golden duck after getting an inside edge onto his pad and seeing the ball balloon to first slip.

If there is one thing Holdsworth doesn’t do it is make ducks, let alone first ballers. Before last Saturday he had only been dismissed without troubling the scorers twice in 164 A Grade games for Trafalgar.

Funny things really do happen in finals.

As he trudged off into the Burrage changerooms and past those waiting to bat, Holdsworth said “over to you blokes now”.

Having been sledged all season for having a long tail, if ever there was a time for the Ships to prove a point it was now.

Fortunately for Trafalgar, Aydan Connolly and Riley White were up to the task, and put on a vital 45 for the fourth wicket.

Birthday boy Connolly pressed on and got to 36 and took the team total to 4/93.

Connolly’s dismissal triggered a few brain freezes as Trafalgar tried to get the game over and done with, only to lose 3/6.

Somewhat fittingly, the captain of the entire ship in club president Daniel Heathcote made sure of the result with a trademark flick reminiscent of VVS Laxman to see Trafalgar into the grand final.

Marc Fenech took 3/20 for Centrals and Lachlan Patterson 2/13.

MOE was too strong for Traralgon West.

The Lions won by eight wickets at Yinnar Turf, a ground they will be playing on in the grand final.

The Eagles won the toss and chose to bat in what was their first A Grade finals match in close to 20 years.

Traralgon West looked primed to put up a decent total when they got to 1/89, however, it became a case of one wicket becoming multiple wickets.

Sean Spiteri got the breakthrough the Lions were after, and from there the Lions fell from 2/89 to 6/99.

Spiteri and Robert Blunt tore through the middle and lower order, with the former taking three of the top six and the latter busting the game open with four.

Blunt was rewarded for consistency, with his first wicket coming halfway through his 10 over spell, followed by another seven balls later and two more within three balls of each other in his last over.

The wickets weren’t cheap one-day poles hit to fielders in the deep either - three were bowled and one was caught behind.

Traralgon West took their innings to the last over and ended on 174.

Rami Zafar top scored on 49, with his innings featuring two sixes, and Brenton Howe ended not out on 48.

Blunt took 4/22 and Spiteri 3/20.

Noah Kane then did his job with the bat, making 46, which included a maximum, in a partnership of 74 with Andrew Philip.

Philip scored 84 not out and Spiteri completed a good all-round game with an unbeaten 29 to see the Lions past the finishing post with seven-and-a-half overs to spare.

Indiana’s Country call-up BASKETBALL

TRARALGON basketballer Indiana de Dios has been selected in the Victoria Country Under-16 women’s team.

After two missed championships in 2020 and 2021 the Victorian Under-16 teams are set to return in Perth from July 3-10.

Other Gippsland players in the squad are Tayli Dimarco (Sale/Gippsland United), Grace Larkins (Southern Peninsula/ Gippsland United) and Sophie Taylor (Warragul/Dandenong).

Stockdale sparkles as the Sharks secure TDCA crown CRICKET TDCA

IT WAS a day of redemption for Ex Students on Saturday, defeating Glengarry on their home ground of Fred King Oval in a grand final re-match from the year before.

It was a match which resembled more of an arm wrestle than a game of one-day cricket, with both clubs getting themselves into good positions at different stages throughout the match, but, by the end of the day only one winner could be crowned.

Ex Students won the toss and batted first on a very hard Glengarry wicket.

Some overnight rain meant the outfield was a little damp and cloud cover early would mean the new ball should do some tricks for the Magpies bowlers which could have given them the edge.

Ex Students skipper Lee Stockdale faced the first ball of the innings and got off strike quickly only to then watch as his opening partner Matt Dyke was struck plumb in front off the first ball he faced.

Matt Robertson then came to the crease and survived a shout or two but never looked comfortable as he tried to pull a ball a little too far away from his body and ended up getting a leading edge to first slip.

At 2/11, Glengarry was up and about as Cam Graham had both wickets and was looking at emulating what he achieved the week before with a devastating opening spell to finish with a five wicket haul.

James Pryde then calmed things down for Ex Students and put on a 47-run partnership with his captain before being dismissed for 22.

A couple more fell relatively quickly after Pryde’s dismissal and the Sharks after fighting back the momentum of the match were all of sudden 5/76.

Rick Battista then came to the crease with great intent and quickly knocked up 23 of his own before Graham snicked him off and again Glengarry had wrestled back the match to be in their favour.

There was one issue for the Magpies though which they just couldn’t solve and that problem was Lee Stockdale who was batting superbly, lifting the scoring rate and then playing defensive as the game required all the while knowing that the match rested firmly on his shoulders.

When little brother Michael Stockdale replaced Battista, the brothers through a combination of hard running and smart stroke play took the score to 177, putting on a partnership of 67.

Ex Students won by 53 runs

At the compulsory closure of the innings Ex Students were 6/177 with Lee Stockdale playing the quintessential captain’s knock finishing the innings on a brilliant 91 not out.

All of Glengarry’s bowlers toiled hard in the face of what was a magnificent individual batting performance with Graham being the best claiming 3/35 from his 10 overs.

The Magpies had the task ahead of them and knowing that runs against the new ball would be crucial Al Jenkin and Frank Marks got to work, ticking the score over at five an over for the first seven overs.

The Sharks captain quickly threw the ball to

Michael Warne in an absolute masterstroke as the leg-spinner quickly dismissed TDCA player of the year Jenkin to a ball he flayed to point.

This brought the big wicket of Nat Freitag to the crease, but as soon as he came to the crease, he was departing to the bowling of Warne in a shot that he would have liked to probably have again.

Freitag tried to attack the bowling of Warne only to find Jack Robertson at mid-on to be out caught for two.

Pryde then bowled number four batsman Sam Marks while Warne continued to apply the pressure before it got too much for Frank Marks (16) and the Sharks were swarming on the Magpies.

This meant Hamish Busk and Paul Henry were now at the crease and set about the fightback, from being all sorts the two middle order batsmen were able to build a good partnership and quickly had Glengarry 4/100 after 35 overs.

Warne had bowled out by this stage and after Jack Robertson bowled five overs for 21, the old ball specialist Mitch Harris came on to bowl and broke the partnership thanks to an almighty catch from Kade Duncan at mid-off.

Busk departed soon after for 31, bowled by Harris but the score was still ticking over and with 57 to get Nick Grainger and Ben Marks would have been confident in getting the total close enough to set some panic into Ex Students.

Sensing the moment though Lee Stockdale brought himself on and bowled the dangerous Grainger, which then spelt the end for Glengarry as they lost their last two wickets for no runs to be bowled out for 124.

Ex Students bowling unit was fantastic with Mitch Harris finishing with the best figures of 4/21 while Stockdale claimed two himself.

The pick of the bowlers was certainly Warne though as he changed the game early claiming the big three of Glengarry (Jenkin, Frank Marks and Freitag) to finish with figures of 3/11 from 10 overs which included three maidens.

Although Ex Students won by 53 runs the match was certainly a lot closer than the scoreline suggests.

The umpires had no hesitation in awarding Ex Students captain Lee Stockdale, the Laurie Blake player of the grand final and with Ex Students Under-10s and Under-12 players on hand to present the players their premiership medallions the day was made even more special for the club who had a massive amount of supporters in attendance.
