Darren Ch hester and his mum Lois on Saturday.

LATROBE Valley voters had their say at Saturday’s Federal Election.

The status quo remains with Nationals member Darren Chester strengthening his grip on the seat of Gippsland.

Mr Chester defied the national trend away from the major parties, benefiting from a swing of nearly 4.5 per cent towards him.

The battle for Monash was a little tighter, although Liberal Russell Broadbent was declared the victor on Saturday night.

Despite a drop of 8.45 per cent in first preference votes, Mr Broadbent gleaned enough support to attract 52.64 per cent on a two-party preferred basis from Labor contender Jessica O’Donnell.

Ms O’Donnell’s primary vote dropped by 3.92 per cent from the 2019 election, an illustration many voters deserted both of the major parties despite Labor’s Anthony Albanese claiming victory on Saturday night.

Independent Deb Leonard attracted 10.96 per cent of first preferences, saying the “major parties will no longer be able to take Monash for granted’’.

Labor to form government

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Australian Labor Party has returned to power with victory in the Federal Election on Saturday.

As of Monday 6pm, Australian Electoral Commission results had Labor on 75 seats, one shy of the 76 required to form a majority government.

The Liberal-Nationals Coalition was holding 58 seats, down from 77 seats in the 2019 federal election, returning 47.71 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, resulting in a 3.82 per cent swing to Labor.

Independent candidates were at 10 seats across the nation, with historic results in the ultra-traditional eastern suburban Melbourne Liberal homelands Kooyong and Goldstein.

It meant teal independents - who campaigned strongly on climate and an anti-corruption commission - Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel outed blue-ribbon Liberal Tim Wilson and former treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

Newly-sworn in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese cited climate, minimum wages, a federal anti-corruption agency and including Aboriginal voices in the Constitution in his election night speech.

“I commit to the Uluru Statement from the heart in full,” Mr Albanese said in his opening line.

"Together we can end the climate wars.

Together we can take advantage of the opportunity for Australia to be a renewable energy superpower,” he went onto say.

“Together we can work in common interests with business and unions to drive productivity, lift wages and profits.”

Meanwhile, outgoing PM Scott Morrison congratulated Mr Albanese on election night.

“When we see those in Ukraine fighting for their very freedom and liberty, I think on a night like tonight we can reflect on the greatness of our democracy,” Mr Morrison said.

“It is proper to acknowledge the functioning of our democracy.

The Greens fared well, picking an extra seat in the inner Brisbane seats of Ryan and looking likely to take out the Brisbane seat of Griffith as postal votes come rolling in.

However, the United Australia Party led by mining billionaire Clive Palmer failed to win a seat in the lower house even though it threw $100 million in its election campaign.

The Senate is yet to be confirmed with votes still being counted but it appears Labor and The Greens will hold a majority.

Chester retains Gippsland

By STEFAN BRADLEY

GIPPSLAND’S incumbent MP defied the national trend to increase his vote at this year’s Federal Election.

Darren Chester says he was “incredibly humbled” by the election result which delivered significant swings to him across the region, despite the change in federal government.

“I just want to say a simple thank you to Gippslanders. I am incredibly humbled by the trust you have shown in me and my team to continue to represent you in Federal Parliament,” he said.

“It will take some time for the full result across the nation to be finalised, but it’s clear that there will be a change of government and I would like to congratulate Prime Minister-elect Anthony Albanese.”

Mr Chester increased his first preference count by 1.32 per cent and his two-party preferred vote by a sizeable 4.49 per cent.

Those figures are subject to change with about 80 per cent of the Gippsland vote counted by the Australian Electoral Commission as of 9am yesterday, but Mr Chester easily retained his seat, which he has represented for The Nationals since a by-election in 2008.

The seat of Gippsland features 114,568 eligible voters.

The turnout was 79.60 per cent, with 2.98 per cent of people casting an informal vote.

The division of Gippsland is one of the safest federal seats in the country, and Mr Chester on track to have increased his two-party-preferred result for The Nationals even further (currently +4.49 per cent), with the primary vote remaining at 55.32 per cent (+1.32).

Mr Chester’s two party preferred result was 71.16 per cent to Labor challenger Jannette Langley’s 28.84 per cent at 6pm on Monday.

One Nation, which didn’t field a candidate at the 2019 election, garnered 9.16 per cent of the vote in 2022.

The Greens candidate Marjorie Thorpe increased the party’s vote by 2.03 per cent compared with 2019, while the Liberal Democrats achieved 3.80 per cent of the vote – despite candidate Jim McDonald’s low profile.

United Australia almost completely matched their 2019 result, with 4.51 per cent of the vote.

Labor’s vote, meanwhile, has decreased by 4.36 per cent to 19.14 per cent of the vote, despite candidate Jannette Langley’s hope of increasing the party’s vote.

Member for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien said he expected Mr Chester would perform his duties well even with a Labor government.

“In the context of Canberra, (Mr Chester) has been able to hold his seat up high as a person of integrity and honesty. That’s reflected in the outcome,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Labor’s primary vote went backwards nationally, voters are disillusioned with the Labor Party. We need Labor to be genuine, that they will govern for all Australians, including regional Australians. We heard the same from the state Labor government. Anthony Albanese needs to be genuine.”

Mr O’Brien said that the federal election result had similarities to the 2018 Victorian state election.

“In 2018, The Nationals didn’t lose any seats, but the Liberal Party went backwards, just like last night. The lesson is we need to continue to focus on our electorates, and don’t get bogged down in ideological debates,” he said.

Ms Langley said she’d need to get together with her team to figure out what went wrong and what went right in Gippsland for the party.

“We did win the federal election, which was the main goal. I am feeling very good about it.

Australia is now in safe hands with an Albanese government,” Ms Langley said.

“For Gippsland, I didn’t have a high profile and had a limited budget, but I think it’s a stepping stone for three years from now. We have to look at it as a long-term thing to get Darren Chester’s numbers down further.”

With no major appearances by Scott Morrison, Barnaby Joyce or Anthony Albanese in the safe seat of Gippsland during the campaign, Ms Langley said she’d hope that more federal politicians visit in the future.

“Hopefully, that would help improve our standing in the future, but we will have to discuss that when the dust settles.”

Ms Langley said that climate change and jobs were the main issues that came up when she spoke to people, and that it was too early to determine whether she would run again.

“Ask me in 12 months’ time and I’ll probably have an answer for you. It’s up to the party as well, but I have thought about it,” she said.

“Thanks to the people of Gippsland, who supported me.”

Broadbent holds on in Monash

By MICHELLE SLATER

LIBERAL stalwart Russell Broadbent has retained the seat of Monash despite suffering a 4.22 per cent swing against him which has made the safe blue ribbon seat marginal.

Mr Broadbent won the seat by 52.64 per cent on a two party preferred basis, after a challenge from Labor candidate Jessica O’Donnell with 47.36 per cent two party preferred.

But first time independent Deb Leonard, who was backed by the Voices for Monash movement, helped make a dint in Mr Broadbent’s majority with 10.96 per cent on first preferences.

“I feel fantastic because we won, there’s only winners and losers in this game and getting over the line is all that matters,” Mr Broadbent told The Express on Monday morning.

“It’s been a very arduous campaign, we had everything thrown at us but we survived that. I had strong independent preferences against me and it was strong with Labor, but Monash has always been marginal.”

Mr Broadbent remains one of federal parliament’s longest-serving members having held the former seat of McMillan since 2004, being first elected in 1990 to 1993, then from 1996 to 1998.

Mr Broadbent acknowledged the overall statewide swing against the Liberals, which was reflected in Monash.

“It was horrific for my party, we lost the jewels in the crown across Australia. It will be difficult to rebuild, but we will start that process when we next meet in Canberra,” Mr Broadbent said.

“It was clear the Australian people wanted change. People were voting for general issues and when they are feeling uncomfortable they take it out on the incumbent.”

Mr Broadbent made headlines earlier this year with his anti-COVID vaccine mandate stance and telling parliament that he took Ivermectin when he had COVID. The Liberal MP also did not support the marriage equality Bill, even after 63 per cent of his electorate voted in favour of allowing same sex couples to marry in the 2017 plebiscite.

Mr Broadbent said he would be “working hard” in the next three years of this term of government, describing himself as a “good listener” to address the issues from local constituents.

“Even minorities I speak up for, sometimes against the broader tradition of my electorate.

People know exactly where I stand, always,” he said.

Independent candidate Deb Leonard was buoyed by her result, vowing to have a crack at the seat in the next Federal Election, pointing to the success of teal independents in safe Liberal seats such as Kooyong and Goldstein.

“People realise they don’t have to be tied to the two-party system and it shows people realise the big parties are not listening, they want a representative who will listen to them,” Ms Leonard said.

“This shows people were disillusioned with Mr Broadbent’s representation and the Liberal’s representation, and people were looking for an alternative.”

Labor candidate Jessica O’Donnell attributed the swing to the changing demographics of the electorate, particularly in the seat’s peri-urban areas.

“The last nine years of the Liberal government saw things that people didn’t hold true to their values, it got to the point where people had enough,” Ms O’Donnell said.

Solid showing: Labor candidate for Monash Jessica O’Donnell.

Big impact: Independent candidate Deb Leonard attracted nearly 11 per cent of the vote.

LATROBE City Council is ready to partner with the new Labor federal government following the results of the Federal Election over the weekend.

During the election campaign, Labor made an election commitment of $10 million to the Gippsland Logistics Precinct.

The funding will be a substantial contribution to Stage Two of the project, which will support the development of internal road and utility infrastructure and flood mitigation earthworks.

Council awaits the delivery of this commitment and is ready to work with the federal government to progress the project which is crucial to the future success of the region.

Council looks forward to meeting with Ministers from the new Cabinet of Australia, particularly to progress Latrobe City’s Strength Led Transition.

Council also wishes to congratulate Member for Gippsland Darren Chester and Member for Monash Russell Broadbent for securing another term.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan welcomed a partnership with the new federal government.

“Council wish to congratulate the new Federal Government for their successful election over the weekend,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“An election is an exciting time as all levels of government look to partner for positive outcomes over the new term.

“This is also true for Latrobe City, as we have many vital aspirations that require partnership and support for the prosperity of our city.

“As a Council, we look forward to the opportunity to work closely with the new federal government to deliver this vision.

“We will continue to work with our longstanding Federal Members as we progress the economic transformation of our city. This includes several recent announcements including Clean Hydrogen, the Barramundi Farm and the Energy from Waste Facility which we look forward to seeing delivered.”

Grand Junction Hotel licensee Annette Vogt was over the moon about their success.

“Winning the overall best regional venue is a fantastic achievement for all the staff at the Grand Junction,” Ms Vogt said.

“You enter these things not knowing how you will go, but the mystery judges must have thought we (the Grand Junction) were the best at what we do.

“It turns out our own hotel peers think we have the best regional sports bar, Pub TAB and overall hotel, which I think is all due to the staff.

“My team of staff is just amazing - they go above and beyond for the customers.

“We are going to keep doing what we do and serve the local area with the same friendly service as always.

“My partner Peter and I are looking forward to representing the hotel and the region at the National Hotel Association awards in November.”

Owner Simon Johnson and his team were very excited about their win.

“We have only been the owners for two years and this is the second year we took out the best regional pub restaurant in Victoria,” Mr Johnson said.

“We love that not only is the Tinamba Hotel one of the best places to eat in Gippsland, but we now have been recognised as one of the best places to eat in the state.

“The team is looking forward to the Nationals in Sydney, where we hope to take out back-to-back national titles.”

COUNTRY LUXE SHOWCASED AT THE ALL NEW METRICON DENVER ON DISPLAY IN LUCKNOW

Metricon Homes has launched a show stopping new display home in Lucknow Bairnsdale. The Denver 45MK2 is a single storey, four-bedroom, three living space design that showcases modern country living at its finest.

Wheelie good time: Tyers kids Anabel Johnson, Molly and Charlie Whitehead, Caleb Johnson and Ella Whitehead are want a local skatepark to be built in town. photograph michelle slater

Push on for a town skate park in Tyers

‘‘

The smart floorplan allows families to really make the most of views and outlooks that come with many local acreage lots, maximising the space on the block and providing the perfect design for modern country living. Whilst the large entertaining spaces are obvious favourites in this design, the smaller spaces of studies and mud room are the floorplan inclusions that many are commenting makes this house feel like a well-considered home.

There’s nothing decent around here. It would be the perfect asset for the town given Tyers is a growing community.

RENEE JOHNSON

She said a more detailed design and quote would cost about $4000.

“This would really benefit the local area as we could bring in competitions and events. I know people would come from surrounding towns and they would shop at the local milk bar,” she said.

“The design would suit younger and older skaters.

It would give the kids something to do, you don’t want them sitting around on iPads constantly.”

Latrobe City is in the midst of considering its community budget submissions.

MURDER

MYSTERY IN WALHALLA Saturday 18 June

Put on the flared pants, platform shoes and the ABBA records for our mystery set in a seventies disco.

Manager Art Deco, has been mysteriously murdered and the fun is to “Stay Alive”.

Featuring characters and music from the fabulous seventies.

This homes unique layout, with its near 30-metre frontage, has already proved to be extremely popular in Bairnsdale.

The highlight being listed by many as the spacious open plan living with spectacular raked ceiling, that sees the dining, kitchen and living areas connect beautifully, before seamlessly transitioning outdoors.

Given the traditional external Colonial façade of the Denver, the classic Australian homestead theme of the interiors are well suited to this style of home. This approach ensures that from when you enter you feel immediately comfortable and ready to relax.

Metricon’s Gippsland Regional Manager, Jason MacGregor said of the opening, “it has been a wonderful privilege to open our doors to the public and showcase this stunning country design, the Denver 45MK2, in the perfect setting that Bairnsdale provides.

“The ranch style design is one that truly stands out from other display homes, and I know our New Home Advisors are thrilled to have the opportunity to now be able to show everyone through this stunning new display.

“With unprecedented demand in Bairnsdale and strong desire for new home options, it is proving to be a hit for buyers wanting not only style and space, but also a change in routine following on from the recent challenges many have felt at the hands of COVID. This design can accommodate a tree change in just about any part of regional Australia and with many bypassing big city living altogether, opting to continue the pandemic-driven work-from-home trend, it’s not hard to see how the Denver offers the best of both worlds: uncompromising modern living in a tranquil country setting.

“At Metricon, we continue to pride ourselves on creating homes for families to love where they live. We achieve this time and time again by offering flexible floorplans and plenty of choices. With multiple design options, numerous facades, and many features to choose from, we expect the Denver 45MK2 will become very popular with Gippsland locals,” concluded Jason.

The Denver in Lucknow is displayed with a Colonial facade and can be built with 4 other facade options. The display is located at 67 Princes Highway, Lucknow and is now open every day from 11.00am-5.00pm.

“The Denver has raised the bar on

THE Tyers community is reigniting its push for a town skate park leading into this year’s Latrobe City Council annual budget.

Local mum Renee Johnson has been spearheading the charge to get a local skate park, pump track and revamped BMX track built next to the town’s fire brigade.

Ms Johnson said the community had been asking for a town skate park for the past six years, but no progress has been made.

She said local skaters were forced to head out of town, with the nearest up-to-scratch facilities in Rawson.

“There’s nothing decent around here. It would be the perfect asset for the town given Tyers is a growing community,” Ms Johnson said.

“It would be used constantly, kids would be there every day if it was the right design. We would be able to pick up our kids from school and duck in to use it and it would bring people in from all over.”

Latrobe City received 44 submissions from community members asking for a skate park to be included in the upcoming budget, which is being finalised and due to be voted on next month.

Ms Johnson had a preliminary design for the skate park with seating shade with an estimated quote at about $250,000.

Combining a modern ranch-style feel with Australian practicality, the Denver’s expansive one-storey design encapsulates relaxed grandeur.

Thanks to a wide portico and the use of natural materials, it’s a home that perfectly complements the surrounding environment here in regional Victoria, with generous proportions you can enjoy when there are wide spaces to enjoy.

the display home experience for our customers in the region, it’s got so much to offer many different types of buyers, particularly those who want that authentic country style and feel to their home, but with a modern luxurious twist.

Horsewoman lands endurance triumph

By MICHELLE SLATER

A GLENGARRY horsewoman and her mare have taken on one of the ultimate fitness tests by winning a 100 mile endurance ride near Ballarat earlier this month.

Tabitha Schmetzer won the 160 kilometre event at Mia Mia in nearly 13 hours on her home-bred 10 year-old Arabian-cross-Standardbred Eaglehawk Halima Bea. “My mare is an adrenaline junky, she loves it.

It was quite a hilly ride, more hilly than we were expecting. It was such a long distance and we took it slow,” Ms Schmetzer said.

“Heading into the last leg, she picked up like she hadn’t done anything. She did an amazing job. She has this amazing Standardbred trot and such a big stride, she stretches out with a long leg.”

Ms Schmetzer comes from an endurance riding family, with her mum, dad and three siblings taking part in the sport together.

She entered her first endurance ride in 2008 in a 40 kilometre event in Rosedale, qualifying her to ride in an 80km event the following day on a different horse.

The seasoned rider had since gone on to complete six 160 km rides, including winning the 2018 Victorian State Championships and coming second the following year.

“Everyone in my family is involved, we are all looking out for each other if we get stuck, you need to work as a team,” Ms Schmetzer said.

“We all train and know our horses and know how to manage them.”

Endurance riding is vigorously supervised by a team of vets who scrutinise the horse at check points along the way. The horse is immediately eliminated if it fails a vet check.

Ms Schmetzer said she trains about 30 kilometres a week through the Toongabbie hills, clocking up about 10 kilometres in each training session working on conditioning and cardio.

She said her mount got a clean bill of health at the final vet check, qualifying the pair for the national championships, the coveted 100 mile Tom Quilty.

Ms Schmetzer said she will aim to ride in next

To complete is to win: Glengarry pair Tabitha Schmetzer and Eaglehawk Halima Bea.

year’s Tom Quilty in Bunyip, and will have a crack at the course in the state championships later this year.

“The vets said she looked great, her trot was clean and she ate and drank well. There’s no flogging them as horse welfare is second-to-none,” she said.

“My mare never stops, she always gives 110 per cent. I think she loves me as she nickers to me at the paddock. You spend ridiculous amounts of time together with your horse.

“Every ride I do on her, I love it. She is a fantastic little girl.”

Night Market Society’s appeal Preserving history: Morwell Historical Society president Alan McFarlane is hoping for a local philanthropist to help buy the building. photograph michelle slater

THE Morwell Historical Society is imploring for any local philanthropists to come out of the woodwork to help the society stay in its Hazelwood Road premises.

The historical society had purchased the former Masonic Lodge hall in 2015 for $250,000 with the help of society members who lent the money to buy the building.

But the society now has three years to knock off the debt under the loan agreement.

Morwell Historical Society president Alan McFarlane said they had managed to pay off half of the loan in that time through donations and volunteer fundraising.

“This is a now a community-owned building, at the end of the day, this building belongs to the Morwell community,” Mr McFarlane said.

“If we don’t pay it off, we will have to put the building up for sale under a worst case scenario.”

The historical society had previously used council-owned buildings to store its records before the Masonic Lodge came up for sale.

Mr McFarlane said the Morwell Historical Society provided a valuable avenue for people to

trace their family histories and preserve the town’s power generation history.

It also celebrated its 60th anniversary earlier this year.

Mr McFarlane said the building provided an ideal opportunity for the historical society to move into somewhere that was central and accessible to the community.

The society had been receiving small scale grants to help keep it running and maintain its records, as well as a Latrobe Valley authority grant for building upgrades.

But Mr McFarlane said there were no grants available to help pay off the remaining $125,000.

He said he was buoyed by the recent announcement that trucking magnates Paula and Lindsay Fox had donated an eye watering $100 million donation towards The National Gallery of Victoria.

“If there is someone in the community with a philanthropic focus and commitment to the town, this is not a huge amount on the greater scale of things,” he said.

“We have 70 members, but we have about 15 active members with a limited capacity to fundraise.”

POLICE are appealing for witnesses of a hit and run on Argyle Street in Traralgon earlier this month.

On Wednesday, May 4, a white Toyota utility with a bullbar slowed down and motioned for a 15-year-old to cross in front of them, at approximately 3.20pm.

Once the teenager attempted to cross the road, the ute accelerated, clipping the handlebars of the scooter the teenager was riding and knocking the boy to the ground.

If you witnessed the incident, have dashcam footage or know who the driver is, contact First Constable Sam O’Hara at the Traralgon Police on 5172 2700.

This is just one of the many pedestrian incidents Latrobe Highway Patrol Acting Sergeant Paul Douglas is very concerned about.

“Many pedestrians are running the gauntlet with particular problems in Traralgon on Breed Street and across the Princess Highway near the train station,” Sergeant Douglas said.

“A new pedestrian crossing has been added at the top of the rise (in front of Woolworths), and there are new 40 speed signs every 30 to 40m along that stretch of road, but still we are seeing jaywalking and pedestrians get hit,” he said.

“There is also a problem with pedestrians moving

“People seem to be in a hurry and not prepared to walk 10 to 20 metres out of their way to use a pedestrian crossing - it could save their life.

“It’s not only pedestrians but also motorists being distracted and not paying attention to what is in front of them on the roads.”

Latrobe City Council announced that CBD speed limits across the Valley would be reduced to 40km per hour in November 2021.

AS PART of National Road Safety Week, Latrobe Valley police undertook a day of action targeting pedestrian safety and distraction, with a focus in Morwell on congestion around schools.

Sergeant Martin Tullett expressed his concerns about child safety in and around school drop-offs in Morwell.

“There is a lot of parking at this school, so we don’t understand why people have to drive on the footpath and park on the grass,” Sgt Tullett said.

“We were there on Tuesday (May 17) and issued three infringement notices, two for driving on the footpath and one for another traffic offence.

“In the morning, we even had one person see the police car, then drive on the footpath and onto the grass to park next to the police car.

“We visited again on Tuesday afternoon and

gave out many warnings for vehicles parking on the grass.

“Kids are walking along the footpath and on scooters and they should be our priority.

Morwell Park Primary School principal Chris Joustra stressed that this is not just an issue at their school.

“Kids don’t necessarily make good choices and it’s up to drivers to do that for them,” Mr Joustra said.

“Due to numbers at the school, we are not entitled to an extra school crossing.”

A teacher at the school has taken to stopping traffic behind the campus and guiding children across the road for their safety.

To walk to Morwell Park Primary School, there is a manned crossing on Vary Street, in front of the school and on The Avenue behind Waterhole Creek.

“I have contacted Latrobe City Council and made them aware of our concerns,” Sgt Tullett said.

Council is urging all drivers to be mindful of the risks to children during school pick-up/drop-off times, to follow the road rules and be patient and respectful to other road users.

The school entrance that is of concern to police is the one located at the rear of the school, not the main entrance on Vary Street.

A council spokesperson said Morwell Park Primary School was well-served with approximately 100 nearby car parks and one-way access to control traffic.

Council would like to remind people to make use of available parking and not necessarily car parks located directly at the school entrance or consider walking or cycling to school.

Council will continue to work in collaboration with school management, communities and Victoria Police to ensure safety around all schools in Latrobe City.

Volunteers hopeful of council support

By MICHELLE SLATER

MORWELL Centenary Rose Garden volunteers are gearing up for a host of international delegates towards the end of the year with a visit from the World Federation of Rose Societies.

Friends of the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden is hoping Latrobe City Council will fund the completion of a set of sealed pathways in time for the important visit in October.

Rose garden committee treasurer Frank Sutherland made a submission to Latrobe City ahead of its annual budget due to be handed down next month.

Other budget submissions included a playground at Apex Park in Traralgon, free wifi in Traralgon, and a skate park in Tyers.

The rose garden committee is hoping for a budget allocation of about $50,000 to complete pathways in the gardens to the north side of Commercial Road.

Latrobe City had built sealed pathways in the main gardens a couple of years ago which had improved accessibility for visitors, but the rest of the project was put on ice to due funding.

Mr Sutherland said it was important that the gardens were kept schmick in order to maintain its 2009 international garden of excellence award.

He said they were expecting two busloads of international delegates to swing by Morwell as part of a national tour for an annual world rose convention being held in South Australia.

“These are the most senior rose garden people in the world, it’s a big compliment to have these people come here and this is why it’s important to have these works done by this year,” Mr Sutherland said.

“They will discuss all things related to roses and make decisions on awards, if we don’t keep up our standards, we could lose our award.”

spread the Good News to all creation’, from the Gospel of Mark 16:15, and our schools are currently living this call in many ways.

Ms Maria Kirkwood, Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale said Catholic Schools were flourishing as more families looked for an affordable, quality, faith-based education for their children.

“After two years of COVID disruptions punctuated by lockdowns, remote learning and social distancing, our schools are looking forward to celebrating their achievements through activities, events, and open days following COVIDsafe guidelines,” she said.

“This year’s theme for Catholic Education Week, is ‘Go out into the world and

“The Good News theme is a call for all members of a school community to enact a vision for a better world, one where people can live in harmony with each other and with, in response to the call of Pope Francis, the environment.

“The theme also reflects the core purpose of Catholic education which is to nurture the potential of each child, and

develop their knowledge and skills to become compassionate and contributing members of society.

“I hope that staff, students, families and parishes enjoy this special time and that our schools continue to be places where children are able to reach their full potential.

“Catholic Education Week is a highlight of the year for the Diocese of Sale, as the broader Catholic education community comes together to celebrate our Catholic identity and unique mission.”

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore May 23 - May 29, 2022

Aries Prosperity planet Jupiter is transiting through your sign for the first time since 2011. Plus lucky Venus and dynamic Mars are visiting Aries too! So it’s time to be creative, be proactive and dream big dreams.

Draw inspiration from birthday great Stevie Nicks (who turns 74 on Thursday): “My life is a testament to believing that if you want something, you can make it happen.”

However – with Mercury retrograde until June 3 – you’ll have to be patient.

Taurus Uranus (the planetary harbinger

of change) is still in Taurus, and Mercury’s reversing through your sign until June 3, so avoid being a stubborn, stuck-in-a-rut Bull!

Make sure you capitalise on unexpected opportunities that come your way. Be flexible and do your best to embrace adjustments with both hands. Change doesn’t have to be scary. As singer-songwriter (and this week’s birthday great) Bob Dylan reminds us: “There is nothing so stable as change.”

GGemini Avoid taking your Gemini health for granted. Be proactive about making positive lifestyle choices, and prioritise time for regular exercise and nutritious homecooked meals. As writer (and birthday great) Ralph Waldo Emerson reminds us: “The first wealth is health.” And is a platonic or romantic relationship going through a bumpy patch? Mercury is retrograde until June 3, so work on keeping the lines of communication wide open.

Cancer Crabs are very good at brewing

and stewing on perceived grievances from the past. This week, with Mercury retrograde and Venus squaring Pluto (in your relationship zone), karma is calling. So it’s an appropriate time to forgive someone and let go of a grudge that’s been weighing you down, especially involving an ex-lover or a former friend. Then you’ll feel ligghter and less encumbered by problems from the past.

Destiny is knocking so be ready to answer!

Leo Freedom, far-away adventures and

exotic escapades are calling as Venus, Mars and Jupiter activate your travel zone. Clever Cats will be patient and make it a priority to plan (and save for) a dream holiday sometime soon. So your motto is from birthday great, philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” A chat with a student, teacher or mentor puts a current problem in perspective.

Virgo g Mercury (your patron planet) is

retroograde until June 3. So don’t be too hard on yourself or let rattled nerves stop you from doing something you’ve always wanted to do. You’re feeling stressed but try not to sweat the small stuff. Careful preparation is the key. Attached Virgo – set ambitious goals together. Singles – don’t just dip your toe into the dating pool; research and planning are required, so you give yourself the best chance of long-term success in love.

Libra Venus, Mars and Jupiter are revving up your partnership zone. But Mercury is reversing through your intimacy zone, so a romantic relationship could feel stuck. Do your best to talk about problems with your sweetheart, as you introduce some exciting new activities into the mix. If you’re single, you could revisit a rocky old romance (while wearing decidedly rose-coloured glasses). Just remember that memories are so seductive because they’re so selective!

Scorpio Mercury reverses through your partnership zone until June 3. So other people will continually flummox you with their confusing behaviour. Avoid being a cynical Scorpio who sabotages relationships. Nurture and cherish your close connections. If you’re unhappily single, then keep pursuing your dream of finding your soulmate. Be inspired by birthday great, singersongwriter Stevie Nicks: “I live in the realm of romantic possibility.”

Sagittarius g Your ruler, Jupiter, is jumpping through fellow fire sign Aries, which increases enthusiasm and motivation. So make the most of it! The next 12 months is a terrific time to expand, enthuse, encourage and explore. Be inspired by actress Joan Collins (who was born on May 23, 1933): “I’m very lucky; I seldom get depressed. I’m a ‘glass half full’ person. In fact, it’s three-quarters full!” But tread carefully on Friday when relations with a friend could be fiery.

Capricorn With Venus, Mars and Jupiter visiting your domestic zone, it’s a good week to entertain family and friends at home with an impromptu meal. Convivial conversation is a bonus. Being of service to others – with kindness, compassion and style – also brings much joy and satisfaction. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great, writer Ralph Waldo Emerson: “You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”

Aquarius q Your humanitarian Aquarian natuure is highlighted. So it’s a good week to get involved in formal volunteer work (especially within your local community) or just lend a charitable hand to a friend, family member or neighbour who’s in need. However, the Venus/ Pluto square (on Friday) increases your tendency to spend too much time in a fantasy world. So avoid making an important move until you are seeing things in a more realistic light. Be patient.

Pisces Have you got your head stuck in the

sand? If you avoid dealing with an urgent issue, then expect more problems. Face the reality that a family matter must be recalibrated or a major relationship needs to be reinvented. In the words of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver (who was born on May 27, 1975): “People hate change, until the pain of not changing is worse than change itself.”

When it comes to a financial matter, be creative, philosophical and proactive.

Great night: The Live in the Glen volunteers celebrate the evening.

Live in the Glen THE Glengarry hall was alive and buzzing on Friday, May 6 as more than 100 community members came together to celebrate the very first ‘Live in the Glen’ show.

The Strzelecki Stringbusters raised the roof of the revamped community hall as locals and people from afar enjoyed an evening full of food, friends, dancing and fantastic entertainment.

It marked the first gig in the Glengarry Mechanics Institute since the historic hall underwent an acoustic upgrade from ‘Live at the Bundy’s’ Paul Versteden.

A team of volunteers started the night with a community barbecue and provided tea, coffee and biscuits with true country hospitality.

Live in the Glen chairperson Lauren Schmidt said a real sense of country community spirit and fun was enjoyed by all who attended.

Many ticketholders bought merchandise and the take-home souvenir of choice was the ‘Live in the Glen’ stubby holder.

As the audience tucked into traditional snags in bread and bring-your-own snacks and treats, the bluegrass band delivered high-quality country entertainment and a boot-stomping good time was had by all.

Not only did the audience praise the new acoustic panelling and sound system, but even the Stringbusters spoke into the mic about the quality of the sound in the room.

With more than 110 tickets purchased, all funds raised from the evening by the Live in the Glen committee will be dedicated to holding future shows and continued upgrades to the hall.

The hall received government funding in 2021 that allowed for installation of acoustic panelling and a Lenard Audio sound system.

‘Live at the Bundy’, which inspired ‘Live in the Glen’, is known for saving tired old Bundalaguah hall on the brink of closure and bringing quality live music to a country area.

The Glengarry team hope to offer their town the same kind of quality entertainment on their doorstep.

Mrs Schmidt said a huge thanks went to the team of volunteers who ran the event and went

Top crowd: Action from the first show at the Glengarry hall. above and beyond to make sure the night was enjoyed by all.

Future events will be posted on the ‘Live in the Glen’s’ Facebook page and website liveintheglen. org.au.

“Tickets are sure to be in high demand, so keep an eye out and you could score yourself tickets to the next big show right here in your local community,” Mrs Schmidt said.

The next show at the hall will be Harry Hook supported by Anne Simmons on Friday, August 12.

Stockdale Road turns plastic into fantastic Helping others: Stockdale Road Primary School’s junior school council members.

Back: Willow, Myah, Olivia, Sammi. Front: Madison, Quinn, Rylee, Beau.

By JACI HICKEN

HAVE you ever wondered what to do with the plastic tags on your loaf of bread?

Stockdale Road Primary School’s junior school council has the solution as the only Traralgon collection point for “bread tags for wheelchairs,” charity.

“Bread tags for wheelchairs helps kids in South Africa, who can’t afford a wheelchair,” Grade 6 student Rylee said.

“They melt down the plastic tags and raise funds for wheelchairs.”

“Once we collect the plastic bread tags, we send them to Robe in South Australia where they are recycled,” fellow Grade 6 student Sammi said.

This is one of the many initiatives the Stockdale Road Primary junior school council carries out each year.

“We meet on Wednesday at lunchtime and work out what we are going to do,” Grade 6 student Myah said.

“We run “friendship place” for all the kids at the school,” Grade 6 student Beau said.

“It’s for everyone at the school to make new friends. We do things like knitting and drawing together.”

The junior council recently held an awareness and fundraising day for Amaze autism, in which they raised $515 to help understand autism.

“We sell donuts in the winter and ice poles in the summer to fundraise to run ‘friendship place’,” Grade 6 student Madison said.

The Stockdale Road Primary junior council is always active and, along with ongoing bread tags for wheelchairs, has “Give A Damn - Give A Can” food drive in association with Rotary coming up.

“As part of (the) Give A Damn Give A Can (initiative), the children will be holding a pyjama day and competitions for around who brings the most cans and builds the biggest can tower,” Stockdale Road teacher

Jane MacCubbin told The Express.

Members of the junior school council let all the other students at the school know what events they are doing by visiting classrooms and speaking about upcoming events.

If you would like to donate your plastic bread tags, they can be dropped off in the Stockdale Road Primary School foyer collection box between 10am and 3pm on school days.

community corner Support the Red Shield Appeal

THE Salvation Army Australia is calling on the local communities of the Latrobe Valley to get involved in this year’s Red Shield Appeal.

All funds raised locally will stay locally to support services within the Valley.

Now in its 56th year, the Red Shield Appeal is The Salvos flagship appeal for the organisation, which commenced its work in the Latrobe Valley, prior to the World War I in Yallourn and today operates through its centres in Morwell, Moe and Traralgon.

After several difficult years, communities are still feeling the impacts of multiple disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, this year The Salvos are highlighting the ‘shadow pandemic’ that is destroying lives: family and domestic violence, in many cases a product of alcohol and drug misuses.

This has been borne out in the Social Justice Stockdale Report commissioned

by The Salvation Army in the Gippsland electorate, where those interviewed were asked to give their greatest social concerns, with alcohol and drug use at the top of the list.

The Salvos need community members to volunteer or support their local Red Shield Appeal in any way they can during May. All local funds raised will remain in the community to help ensure that no one is left in need.

“We are so grateful to the Latrobe Valley community, who have always rallied together and supported the Red Shield Appeal year on year,” Cheryl Butcher, who heads up the work in Moe, said.

“This year is no different – we need the help of community members more than ever as we continue to support those who have felt the devastating impacts of the past couple of years.”

The Salvos need volunteers throughout the Valley to collect in the major towns. To get involved, contact your local Salvos at one of the following addresses.

Moe – russell.butcher@salvationarmy. org.au Morwell – sue.pilgrim@salvation army.org.au Traralgon – janine.skinner@salvation army.org.au Janine Skinner, who heads up the Traralgon centre, said they couldn’t do it without the public’s support.

“If you have the means, please consider becoming a volunteer or donating to the Red Shield Appeal this year,” she said.

“Your generosity and support will help us to leave no one in need.”

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

It’s going to be a very hard decision to make - is it going to be one made by the few or the many?

We need as many people from our community and neighbours as possible to attend this meeting - to have your voice heard.

A decision will be made on this night and it may be the hard one.

If it’s the good one, it’s heads down, tails up to get the 2023 Festival up and running.

Yarragon Expo - Past, Present, Future

AS you drive through and admire Yarragon nestled in against the beautiful backdrop of the Strzelecki’s, or visit the many shops and cafes that are on offer in this tourist town, do you ever consider how this town has evolved?

This small town has an amazing and fascinating history with so much to marvel at.

Enormous impenetrable forests covered what we now see as rolling hills.

‘HEROIC’ is how the early pioneers were described.

“Every acre of West Gippsland has been bought with sweat and blood and broken hearts and broken lives,” our then parliamentary member, Francis Conway Mason said.

“There has been a tragedy enacted on almost every selection round here.

A forest is the cruelest thing on earth.”

The hills were cleared using just axes and saws and the flat land was also impenetrable, with swamp land that was drained using only picks and shovels.

How did this town develop from the busiest timber town in the area in the 1880s, to a thriving self-supporting dairy town in the first half of the last century, then to stagnate and decline but be re-invented as a tourist town?

All will be revealed at the YARRAGON EXPO – PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE on the weekend of June 4 & 5 at the Yarragon Hall.

There are great photos, stories and characters to learn about its PAST, but also lots of things are on offer in this dynamic community TODAY – come and find out more.

What is planned for the FUTURE? There is much development in the pipeline. How would you like to see it develop?

Come along and enjoy this one-time event.

Free entry.

Refreshments available.

Matteo Bonaficci recovered from a material deficit to claim the win in his first clash and later on succumbed in the tussle against an in-form Peter Bakker.

The signs were positive for Steven Ahern forcing two wins during the evening.

With too many errors, Ian Hamilton was compelled to accept defeats.

John Davenport started late and became involved in a tight game before he eventually made a losing mistake.

Microwave Cooking for men

THE Newborough Men’s Shed has successfully completed a healthy microwave cooking course for men.

“Great experience”, “Best meatloaf I have ever tasted”, “Confident to use a microwave now” were some of the comments made by participants.

“Many men who live alone regularly eat take away food and I wanted to give them a simple way to cook their own healthy meals. After speaking to some men in sheds I realised they have a microwave oven, but never use it although it is one of the simplest appliances to use,’’ course organiser John Hewson said.

“I approached the Latrobe Health Assembly with a proposal to conduct three courses to teach men how to use the microwave oven to cook healthy meals.

“Approval was given and a Latrobe Community Health Services dietitian produced a cookbook for the sessions.

“Each session had instructions for cooking as well as nutrition and other health guides.

“In this way men were preparing and cooking right from the start, which was great.

“They were being taught about healthy foods, microwave use and safe cooking. We have four microwaves and men work in pairs.”

The Shed is looking for men interested in doing the next two courses.

You do not have to be a member of a shed; anyone can do it.

Each course will prepare six main dishes, with a selection of entrées and desserts.

All ingredients will be provided.

No prior cooking experience is necessary.

Cost of each course is $30.

Two more courses will be conducted at the Newborough Men’s Shed.

The next course will be run from 6.30pm to 9.30pm on four consecutive Tuesday evenings starting from June 7 until June 28.

The third course will start on Tuesday evening July 12 and run until August 2.

If you have any questions or are interested in booking a place ring John on 0474 345 733.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

SECRETS OF ROYAL GARDENS SBS, Saturday, 8.30pm

FBI: MOST WANTED 10, Monday, 9.30pm

You never know what to expect with this fun-loving lifestyle series – other than a generous serving of childlike shenanigans and playful banter between the presenters.

Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown (pictured), Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois have the kind of chemistry that morning-TV execs wish they could bottle. This week, the segments run the gamut from silly and witty to heartfelt and thoughtful. Dr Chris is with man’s best friend – coming to the rescue of a dog that needs a helping paw – and Miguel visits Batemans Bay NSW Fire Brigade to say thanks for their hard work during fire season.

There are many prisms with which to gaze at and try to understand the British royal family. This offering takes us deep inside the magical and surprising world of the family’s spectacular gardens. Narrated by Hugh Bonneville (pictured), it’s a tour which takes in many elements of the rarefied world, including hedged mazes and exotic animals, as well as the fascinating history of the Windsor clan. While one gardener states the obvious – “it’s great being a gardener in a place like this” – it’s a stunning insight into an exclusive world.

This premiere episode explores the grounds of Buckingham, Kensington and Hampton Court Palaces.

When it comes to action films, Michael Bay is the movie director renowned for outrageous plots. In the realm of the by-the-numbers police procedural, Dick Wolf is your expert. As the creator of the Law & Order franchise – which has more than 10 spin-off series – Wolf has the blueprint for crime drama down pat, and that’s the way his fans like it. In this latest endeavour, Wolf is faithful to the popcorn predictability. In “Inheritance”, a couple are killed by a con artist pretending to be a personal trainer and Ortiz (Miguel Gomez) is between a rock and a hard place when Hana’s (Keisha Castle-Hughes, pictured) brother asks for a favour.

BARONS ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

You could be forgiven for momentarily wondering whether you are watching Home and Away, or a commercial, rather than a well-acted ABC drama. Infused with a sun-kissed atmosphere and tales of drugs and drinking, Barons is not a hard-hitting drama; rather it’s a nostalgic, soft focus look back on the heyday of ’70s surfing in Australia, polished off with great costuming and an excellent soundtrack. The Vietnam War is merely a backstory as we witness the implosion of a friendship and the birth of rival surfwear brands. Tonight, a tragedy will change Buddy (Lincoln Younes, pictured) forever when he and Shirley (Catherine Vån-Davies) get caught up in Mac’s (Kick Gurry) shady Bali dealings.

MEMBERS of a local disability social group became a ‘fearless crew’ as the S. S. Minnow ran aground at the Trafalgar Community Centre for a Gilligan’s Island-themed event on Monday, May 9.

Headway Gippsland participants dressed up as much-loved characters from the 1960s sitcom and enjoyed a morning tea of tropical fruits.

The ‘uncharted desert isle’ at Trafalgar was full of music as the group joined together to sing the theme song.

Group co-ordinator Janet DeCorrado quizzed the group on Gilligan’s Island trivia

and participants competed in a fishing competition.

The Trafalgar group is one of four social support groups run by National Disability Insurance Scheme service provider Headway Gippsland.

These weekly catch-ups offer participants a chance to socialise, get out into the community and learn new skills.

Koala push

By MICHELLE SLATER

Long service: Rhonda Van Der Meulen has loved her 25 years at Intersport, Traralgon.

photograph jaci hicken

Helpful Rhonda’s milestone RHONDA Van Der Meulen says she is “blessed” after working for 25 years for the same employer.

Ms Van Der Meulen has had many fun times working at Karl’s MegaSports, now Intersport, making lifelong friends and work family.

She was the first person employed outside of the business’s direct family and friends.

“I have seen retail change dramatically over the last 25 years, but the one thing that has not changed is my passion for customers,” Ms Van Der Meulen said.

“To become a buyer and merchandiser early on in my career was one of the most rewarding experiences.”

Over the years, as the Intersport buyer, Ms Van Der Meulen has enjoyed taking part in yearly sales conferences and bringing the latest in sports apparel to the Valley, which has also allowed her to do something else she loves - travel.

“As part of the job, as the store’s buyer, I’ve got to travel to the yearly sales conferences, to places like Fiji, Sydney, regularly to Melbourne,” she said.

“I’ve been looking back through the pictures of all the Christmas parties, conferences, birthdays and all-around fun times and I know why I’m still around, as I’ve had so much fun with some really awesome people.

“To this day, I still love helping the customers every day and am looking forward to what the future offers. I’d like to thank everyone I’ve worked with over the years, but especially Justin Mohr and Michael Geary for all they have done for me and continue to do for me at Intersport.”

DEPUTY Greens leader Ellen Sandell has asked the environment minister to push for the Commonwealth to put the Strzelecki Koala on the vulnerable species list under federal laws.

Ms Sandell asked Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio in earlier this month in parliament to put the question to the next federal environment minister appointed after the federal election.

If listed, the Strzelecki koala would have additional protections under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. “But unfortunately neither the Victorian nor the Australian law currently recognises the significance of that unique population,” Ms Sandell said.

“It is not a separate species or subspecies, but it is a distinct population with distinct genetic diversity, which means it needs to be protected.

“Right now this koala population is actually under threat from logging, land clearing, fires and climate change, and at an overall species level, koalas are not considered threatened in Victoria even though the genetic diversity is very low.”

Ms Sandell also called on the Victorian government to invest in supporting research and advocating for the unique koala population.

It comes after the Australian government brought in a group of Strzelecki koalas as part of a research and breeding program.

“The South Australian government is funding research with these Victorian koalas, but as far as I am aware we are not doing that here at home,” Ms Sandell said.

“So I very much hope that the environment minister plays a strong role here in advocating for this really special population.”

Ms D’Ambrosio said she would “seek some advice” on the status of the Strzelecki koala and then see if any steps could be taken upon the advice from her department.

The first article, dated April 20, 2022, outlined the geology of the coal resources; the second article, dated April 27, 2022, drew attention to the many and various impacts mining has had and will continue to have in the region; the third article, dated May 4, 2022, explored what will be needed to create safe, stable and sustainable conditions after mining ceases; the fourth article, dated May 11, 2022, confirmed that all three mine owners currently propose to fill their void with water and there is insufficient water available.

It also noted that Hazelwood is about to undertake an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) once the state government finalises the scope of that EES. Great Latrobe Park Inc. (GLP) agrees with the Government’s decision to require Hazelwood to conduct an EES – BUT only after the ‘big picture’ on water allocation is resolved, utilising a transparent process which has full public involvement.

Accordingly, GLP is suggesting that a broad ranging Public Inquiry be first undertaken: the rehabilitation/repurposing scenario is simply too vital to the future welfare of the Latrobe Valley and entire Gippsland region, to allow vested interests to make decisions on our behalf.

We, the public, must be involved in a much more meaningful way, than was the case, in previously conducted “community consultations”.

GLP would therefore like to invite interested persons or organisations to contact us.

We would like to share information and to follow up our initial articles with public presentations to you or your organisation.

As the state moves to finalise the scope of Hazelwood’s EES there will be a call for public comment on the proposed scope.

This is the first opportunity that we all have, to ensure a positive future for this region.

Nina Burke, Great Latrobe Park Inc president

Thank you to our volunteers

LAST week (May 16-20) marked National Volunteer Week, which in 2022 is being celebrated with the theme Better Together.

Volunteers are the backbone of local events, sports, charity shops, schools, community groups and even emergency services.

As such, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the tireless volunteers throughout Gippsland South who not only keep our community running but bring our community together.

My experience has always been that Gippslanders are a very generous bunch who willingly give their time to help others.

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns and flow on impacts felt across our region, I believe the value of the services that volunteers provide to our community have been particularly highlighted.

It is wonderful to have volunteers back in our local classrooms improving our children’s learning experiences and community markets back in full swing.

I also want to give a special mention to our

local emergency service volunteers have been particularly tested this year. I am forever grateful for the efforts of those who assisted during prolonged power outages, floods, and significant storm events.

Thank you for your continued service to our community.

Danny O’Brien MP, Member for Gippsland South

Other politicians can take a leaf out of Darren Chester’s book

IN reply to Dan Caffrey regarding his letter (The Express, 11/5/22) when I stated that Darren Chester looks after Gippsland.

Other politicians can take a leaf from Darren after all the years in Gippsland.

My wife and I retired in Gippsland.

I wanted a politician whom fights for his electoral section, Darren was the person.

Yes, I agree with Mr Caffrey, the National Party will change their policy on climate change, but Darren will always be a thorn to Barnaby Joyce and his colleagues.

If he ever leaves The Nationals, the party will lose votes in Gippsland.

To finish up, Mr Caffey, keep up your good facts on climate change, which is real.

N.F Nanos, Traralgon

Hydrogen – the magic rainbow gas

IF you believe in the tooth fairy, or vote Green, you probably believe that hydrogen is the magic rainbow gas that will banish global warming,

Love

replace wicked hydro-carbons in electricity generation, fuel tomorrow’s trucks, planes and heavy equipment, and earn unlimited export income.

There is one big problem – unlike coal, oil and gas, there are no hidden pools of hydrogen we can tap. Every bit of hydrogen has to be manufactured from water or hydrocarbons using huge amounts of energy.

The energy content of liquid hydrogen is about 70 per cent of the energy required to produce it.

Burn it in a combined cycle gas turbine (energy efficiency 50 per cent) and see that energy return drop to around 35 per cent.

Use it as vehicle fuel and see energy efficiency fall even further.

The density of liquefied hydrogen is much lower than that of natural gas - thus the transportation costs will be higher. And because the tiny hydrogen atom finds any small leak, the safety risks are very high - imagine a road accident involving flammable lithium batteries plus explosive hydrogen gas.

Most hydrogen is made directly from coal, oil or natural gas and the main process produces hydrogen and . . . more of the dreaded CO2.

But hydrogen is loved by Big Greens and little children because it has been named in a rainbow of pretty colours: grey, brown, black, green and blue.

Grey hydrogen comes from natural gas, brown from lignite (brown coal), and black hydrogen is made from black coal (no surprises there).

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using intermittent green energy like solar or wind power. It requires heaps of fresh water and electricity neither of which can ever be fully recovered. Every tonne of hydrogen uses nine tonnes of water.

Blue hydrogen is any of the above, but the CO2 by-product is stored in carbon cemeteries,

making blue hydrogen stupidly expensive.

Musings from a park bench in Morwell Rose Garden

IT is around 1pm on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

I am at Morwell Rose Garden which is a mustsee for all Gippslanders just to sit, meditate or take in the beautiful scenery as I am now.

Today the garden is filled with visitors from Morwell and nearby neighbouring towns.

So you

connect with the community Focus: The future of the Latrobe Valley’s open cut coal mines was examined by Great Latrobe Park in a recent series of four comment pieces publ pu b is ished by ish y Th The Exxpr E xp prre esss.

From my park bench, I see crows and magpies hopping and pecking away at small insects in the green grass. Looking up I see two chirping sparrows returning to their nests in the tall eucalyptus trees that grow here and that accentuate the beauty of the surrounding roses.

I see a lone walker with mobile phone in hand and listening to music; three ladies in jogging track pants and tee-shirts on a brisk walk; and a family comprising of mum, dad and child walking at a slow pace and pausing here and there to smell the roses that adorn the winding, petal-strewn paths.

Now as I am about to leave the garden, out of the corner of my eye, I see my just vacated bench already has a new visitor. I am instantly and vividly reminded of the lines from my poem titled “At the City’s Edge”.

“Over the rush and noise of Commercial Road, I hear a chorus of voices coming from paths I have daily strode, For whenever I pass that way, These are the words the voices say: “Here, in the heart of the daily struggle and strife, We live a simple and natural life; Here, we do what we can with our bloom and grace, To make the city a lovelier place.”

To which I replied: “Far more, this Garden has given me the balm Of a heavenly calm, For its sights and scents and sounds have brought A contentment I have long and eagerly sought: For here, sitting in the Spring sunshine, I have rediscovered Youth’s first prime; And here, too, are dried the tears That rusted out the goldwork of the years;

And here, in this restful oasis of tranquility, I daily count my blessings as I muse on the beauty surrounding me ...”

CFAs miss out, but fire services levy takes in $800m

CFA stations at Strathbogie, Rochester and Myrtleford are among those to miss out on upgrades this year, while the Labor government rakes in $800 million from the fees you pay to the fire services property levy.

Analysis of the State Budget papers confirm that just $7.6 million will be spent on new asset infrastructure for Victoria’s Country Fire Authority in 2022-23 (State Capital Program, p27).

It is scraps off the table for country fire brigades, too many of which will now spend at least another 12 months battling sub-standard facilities that aren’t fit-for-purpose.

Labor’s under-investment in the volunteer fire services shows its priorities are all wrong.

It risks leaving our country communities exposed and under-prepared at our time of greatest need.

In Strathbogie, the local brigade missed out again despite years of advocating for funds to upgrade the ageing shed which barely fits two tankers.

The lack of space means volunteers have to wash the hoses on the main street.

Rochester’s ancient fire shed is long past its used by date – there’s barely enough room to fit the truck, let alone for storage of equipment – and there’s no facilities for the volunteers to get changed in when they turn out in an emergency.

The kicker is that while CFA volunteers miss out, the Andrews Labor Government has been forced to admit cost blowouts on its mismanaged major projects have now increased to $28.1 billion.

Imagine what those funds could have done for our country fire brigades.

Under-investing in country emergency services puts country lives at risk.

Only a change in state government in November will ensure regional Victoria gets our fair share.

Peter Walsh, Leader of The Nationals

Too many motorists ignoring new 40km/h limit

SPEED limits have been introduced in the business districts of the towns in Latrobe City.

In Traralgon far too many motorists are ignoring the 40kmh limit.

It seems that some drivers are travelling even faster than they would have before the limits were put in place.

The new limit is a great idea to make life safer for anyone moving near their parked cars and for those coming out of a parking space.

However some people are not taking the necessary duty of care towards others when they blatantly ignore this speed limit.

Hopefully the drivers in Morwell and Moe are behaving much more sensibly than those I see in the streets of Traralgon.

On another speed related issue; the speeds

that drivers are travelling at along the 60kmh highway zone in Traralgon from Breed Street to Liddiard Road are excessive.

Especially as there are several intersections with traffic lights. I am hoping action can be taken, either through enforcement or education to make our local streets and roads much safer.

Greg Jessep, Traralgon

Thank you volunteers

THIS National Volunteer Week (May 16-22), I want to recognise the many unsung local heroes who support Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

With thanks to their support, we have just celebrated 10 years of our Prostate Cancer Specialist Nursing Service, with 100 specialist nurses nationwide, who have delivered over 260,000 occasions of service.

Equally, their support has helped us to fund the $1.6 million EVOLUTION Clinical Trial, with recruitment now underway to help save the lives of men with advanced prostate cancer.

PCFA was founded by volunteers 26 years ago and continues in that fine tradition today serving men and families who need us.

They lift us up, they carry us forward, and they will one day take us home to a world free from the pain of prostate cancer.

We are grateful.

Anne Savage, Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia chief executive officer

Make a game plan

RECENTLY released Nielsen data shows an average of 948 gambling ads were broadcast every day on free-to-air TV in Victoria in 2021 – a 250 per cent increase since 2016.

Alarmingly, saturation levels of sports betting ads are shown during weekday primetime family viewing slots, and in live sport after 8.30 pm.

And while the ads always show betting to be a fun, social activity – ‘bet with your mates’ – the reality is that gambling is all about risk and can lead to negative consequences.

Kids may not be the gambling industry’s target market, but they absorb the ads during their favourite shows and weekend footy matches and come to see betting on sport as normal.

So it’s no wonder that the first generation to grow up with these ads is now the largest group of sports bettors in Victoria. Almost a third are young men (18–24 years), and participation by young women is rising.

May is ‘Love the Game, not the odds’ month and this year we are encouraging parents and coaches to make a game plan to talk to kids about the risks of gambling.

We partner with more than 650 professional and community sporting bodies across Victoria – including Victoria’s 10 AFL clubs and various soccer, rugby, basketball, netball and cricket clubs and associations – to share the ‘Love the Game, not the odds’ message.

So to limit the harm experienced by future generations, we’re working to ensure kids grow up equipped to make conscious, informed decisions about gambling.

For suggestions on how to start the conversation with the kids in your life, visit lovethegame. vic.gov.au/issue/talking-kids.

Shane Lucas, Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation chief executive officer

*Eligible for children 11 years and under

Eric Sean: This project is a white elephant. Huge expenditure for no return or future. CSS is not viable because of cost.

It also takes much more energy to produce hydrogen in this way & capture the CO2 than what energy in hydrogen you get out.

It will never be able to compete with Green hydrogen yet the LNP insist on wasting our tax dollars.

Andy McCarthy: Just because we’ve proven we ‘can’ do it, doesn’t mean we ‘should’ do it. Another horrendous use of taxpayer dollars, trying to prove a concept that makes no economic or practical sense in a net zero world.

Marianne Robinson: The HESC project demonstrated that hydrogen could be derived from coal and that the hydrogen could be transported to Japan. That is all.

Andy Churchill: Hydrogen production could offer workers of the LV, especially those in the power industry a proper and fair transition.

Hugo Ip: Remember the coal to oil fiasco?? Here is another one coming up.

Stuart Dunstan: “COAL” to hydrogen. I told you it would work. $6.75M COMMITTED TO RESERVE FLOOD-PROOF PLAN John Halliday: So, redirect the water where??? This is why there is so much damage when we get the ‘’one in a hundred’’ year flood. 100 years ago it just flowed on through without resistance. As the elders would know, Franklin Street area was all swap ... natural drainage. This is going to be good to see engineers beat nature.

Michael Shears: It’s crazy that so much money has been spent building and then repairing facilities that flood. Let’s hope that common sense finally prevails and all assets are built on stilts high enough to make them immune to future flood damage. Repairing any asset that was flood damaged without make it flood proof is just a waste of money.

Tiffany Brown: Time to move the whole complex.

Natural therapies: Earthworks being carried out for a medicinal mushroom growing and processing house in Yinnar.

Big works happening during this winter COMMUTERS are being advised to plan ahead this winter, with major upgrades set to begin on the Gippsland Rail Line.

Upgrades between Pakenham and Traralgon will progress while coaches replace trains from July 27 to August 8 for level crossing removal works.

Works will include drainage improvements between the new and existing tracks at Bunyip and Longwarry, and trenching works to make way for level crossing upgrades.

Meanwhile, the third and final stage of the Princes Highway East upgrade continues, with the foundations for the new rail bridge over the rail line in Kilmany going in this winter.

In order for crews to safely carry out these works, coaches will replace trains between Bairnsdale and Traralgon from the last week of June and into July. The Princes Highway East upgrade is expected to be completed by late 2023.

Magic of medicinal mushrooms

By MICHELLE SLATER

A MELBOURNE-based natural therapies company is establishing a medicinal mushrooms grow house in Yinnar as part of a research park to develop pharmaceuticals, wellness and beauty products.

Max Biocare is in the midst of developing land on the corner of Yinnar and Yinnar-Driffield roads, where it is also growing herbs and establishing beehives for therapeutic products.

The company aims to start the first medicinal mushroom research and development facility in Australia, providing between 15 jobs which could grow to 40 jobs once fully operational.

Max Biocare head of research and development Dr George Thouas said the company had been eyeing-off Gippsland to establish its research park due the region’s fertility and high rainfall.

“We were looking for a natural location, we saw that property and fell in love with it, it’s such a beautiful place, very well landscaped with already abundant water,” Dr Thouas said.

‘‘

We are aware of the therapeutic qualities of mushrooms for immunity, ageing and joint conditions.

DR GEORGE THOUAS

“Yinnar has a lot going for what’s needed to grow medicinal herbs, we were looking at how we could enhance the ecosystem in the area. It ticked a lot of boxes.”

Max Biocare formed more than 20 years ago producing supplements, nutrition and personal care products primarily for Asian export.

Dr Thouas said they had already been working at the Yinnar property for the past seven months establishing a bee colony and planting a range herbs and trees on the existing gardens.

“It will complement the local ecosystem to establish biodiversity on the property. It’s more than a production facility, but integrating with the local landscape,” he said.

Dr Thouas said he hoped the mushroom facility could get going within the next 12 months depending on building approvals processes.

He said mushrooms were an “untapped” market in Australia, with little research done on their therapeutic qualities.

“These are well-established species used around the world, particularly in Asian countries where they use mushrooms for different types of conditions,” Dr Thouas said.

“We are aware of the therapeutic qualities of mushrooms for immunity, ageing and joint conditions. We are still learning about it, it’s an interesting and valuable area. We have high standards and we have a responsibility to comply with pharmaceutical standards. Quality is what we can grow in Gippsland, the environment is rich to grow quality products.”

THE Latrobe Literary Festival commenced at the Traralgon Library last week with authors Hugh McGinlay and Stephen Johnson in a double-header crime writing act.

The interested crowd was entertained with stories of how both writers took the characters out of their heads and onto the page.

Having just released the third instalment of the Catherine Kint mystery series, a hard-living milliner who lives in Brunswick and solves crime in her spare time with her barman Boris, Mr McGinlay took up writing after spending years touring and performing music.

“In a conversation with my wife, I thought I would just start and write a mystery series and turn out a book each year - 15 years on, and I’m up to Book three, working on number four,” Mr McGinlay said.

“Catherine and Boris are now full-time in my head and I now know more things about them and what they think than most other people,” he said.

The setting for Mr Johnston novels has become a character in itself, set around a core ensemble of people, who work together at a TV station on a current affairs show.

“It was an idea that niggle, and it had to be written, then I had to find the characters to fill the plot,” Johnson said.

Now onto the second book in the series, the story focuses on two characters, Kim Prescott and Jo Trescothick, as the media sleuths close in on the killer.

The discussion then focuses on the process by which both writers developed their ideas, the characters and the plots.

Publisher Lindy Cameron finds events like the Latrobe Literary Festival “work for everyone interested in writing” and allows authors to meet other writers as well as readers in the community.

“I’ve seen many readers and writers groups form out of community events, like the one held at the Traralgon Library,” Cameron said.

“Anyone interested in the writing process can find out about a writer’s method, why they write as they do, and how they do their thing,” she said.

Both authors’ books are available through Clan Destine Press.

The Latrobe Literary Festival runs until May 28, with a creative writing workshop delivered by Gippsland-based writer Amy Espeseth to round out the events at the Traralgon Library.

In this workshop, Writing Intriguing characters, learn how to develop complex and believable figures who will linger in the reader’s mind.

Gippsland United handles Heat in Mildura BASKETBALL BIG V

By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND United men continued on their winning way in Big V basketball.

The team travelled to Mildura, and completed a convincing 113-79 victory, taking their ledger to eight wins from nine starts.

Gippsland has maintained second position on the ladder, but now boasts the highest percentage out of the competition, which will surely come in handy in the latter part of the season.

In the game against Mildura, United was rarely

challenged, and got out to a nine-point lead at quarter time.

United build on this as the game progressed, adding 25, 31 and 31 points across the next three quarters.

Making the trip to Mildura would have no doubt been great for team bonding, and returning back home with the four points wrapped up would have carried notions of ‘mission accomplished’.

Billy Hughes led the scoring for Gippsland, netting 28, including five three-pointers.

All players on the team sheet saw good minutes, with every substitute given at least 12 minutes court time.

American import Brandon Armstrong again racked up solid numbers, with 25 points, six rebounds and five assists.

GIPPSLAND United women had the bye.

The women will play Corio Bay at home this Saturday from 6pm at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.

The match looms as an important one in the context of Gippsland’s season, as Corio Bay is one rung behind them on the ladder, and like Gippsland, is fighting to keep their finals hopes alive.

Something of a local derby will follow the women, with the men to play Pakenham, fresh from a surprise loss, from 8pm.

BIG V DIVISION 2 LADDER MEN: Sherbrooke 10-1, Gippsland United 9-1, Pakenham 9-3, Mornington 7-4, Altona 7-5, Wallan 6-6, Mildura 5-6, Craigieburn 5-6, Whittlesea 4-7, Maccabi 3-9, Surf Coast 2-9, Melton 0-10.

WOMEN: Altona 8-1, RMIT Redbacks 8-2, Mornington 7-2, Coburg 5-4, Wallan 5-4, Blackburn 5-5, Gippsland United 4-4, Corio Bay 3-5, Collingwood 0-9, Surf Coast 0-9.

Harriers blaze a trail ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By MILES VERSCHUUR

THIRTY dedicated runners elected to brave the freezing and foggy conditions on Sunday as part of the Traralgon Harriers Wirilda Park Trail Run in honour of former club members Ray and Doris Ellis.

Warm clothes, gloves, and beanies were aplenty at the start near Tyers before runners traversed over the glorious Wirilda Walking Track and Pipeline Track for either 23-kilometres or 10-kilometres.

In an unparalleled setting and terrain, featuring three water crossings, a run across the Moondarra Dam Wall, and over 1000 metres of climbing, the 20 competitors in the 23-kilometres were pushed to their limits.

The sun emerged by the time runners finished, and yet again, Zack Beasley scored another victory.

Holding off adventure racer, Joel Claxton, Beasley finished in 1hr 57:40, a course record.

Not far behind Claxton in third was veteran Ian Cornthwaite, 10 minutes faster than his winning time in November last year.

Narelle Crozier was the fastest female on the day, not far behind the male podium places in a time of 2hrs 14:03, with Kylie Murray powering home to finish second in 2.25:14, and the everconsistent Liz Kenney third in 3.11:31.

In the 10-kilometre event, still featuring one river crossing and plenty of climbing, Tobiasz Grzmil proved victorious in 56:18, neck and neck with Warren Shields who stopped the clock in 56:51. Glen Borch, featuring a fast finish, collected the ‘bronze’ place in 59:47. Junior Lucy Magaldi won the outright female race in 1hr 17:13, ahead of Cat Leonard (1hr 20:17) and Callie Cook (1hr 24:29).

With the 55th WIN Network Traralgon Marathon less than two weeks away, many runners used the event as preparations for the prestigious race.

Ray and Doris Ellis Trail Run Results 10km: Tobiasz Grzmil 56:18, Warren Shields 56:51, Glen Borch 59:47, Ian Twite 1.02:59, Lucy Magaldi 1.17:13, Anthony Magaldi 1.17:13, Cat Leonard 1.20:17, Callie Cook 1.24:29, Alicia Turner 1.35:48, Ann Bomers 1.37:57.

Beasley shines in weekly hitout ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By MILES VERSCHUUR

WITH a plethora of events flying at the Traralgon Harriers thick and fast, 48 dedicated runners, walkers, and joggers showed up for 5km at the three-lap Riverslea Boulevard course.

Fresh off winning the 60km Ultramarathon at the Great Ocean Road Marathon Festival on the weekend, Zack Beasley recorded another expresspace time of 17:56, the fastest man for the night.

After his phenomenal 60km victory, which he described as, “incredible, painful, emotional exciting … a million things,” Beasley was still able to turn the pace on.

Behind Zack was former Australian Marathon representative, Ian Cornthwaite, who fiercely battled with Greg Semmler for second and third places.

Cornthwaite finished ahead in 18:54, with Semmler only two seconds behind for third.

In fourth and fifth were juniors Miles Verschuur (19:27) and Dempsey Podmore (20:02).

Karen Graham continued her series of dominance for the female Harriers, in a time of 22:01.

Quite a way back was club veteran Liz Kenney (25:38) and youngster Lucy Magaldi (25:53) to round out the podium places.

The debutant father-and-son team of Huxley and Asher Brooks delivered some impressive times for their first outing with Huxley stopping the clock in 23:30 and Asher in 24:10.

The highlight of the profusion of upcoming events is by far the 55th WIN Network Traralgon Marathon on Sunday, June 5.

The 42.195km, 21.1km, and 10km options all have caps and spots are filling up at rapid speed, so be sure to enter as soon as you finish reading.

Magnificent seven for Newborough/Yallourn SOCCER LVSL

By LAURIE WILLIAMS

IN the first of two catch-up games, Fortuna got three points without even travelling to East Gippsland, as the Bairnsdale side forfeited their reserve and senior matches on Sunday giving Fortuna much-needed points without any effort.

The Lions leapfrogged Moe to go into third position on the table while Moe drop back to fifth after Newborough/Yallourn’s stunning win over Traralgon City.

Newborough/Yallourn created their own history with a 7-0 victory over Traralgon City in the only match played on Sunday.

It was the highest score by United against the Roosters since their first match back in 1997.

Newborough/Yallourn had to defer the first meeting this season against the Roosters due to COVID health and safety protocols.

Sunday’s match was played in ideal conditions and Traralgon City would’ve been looking to continue their good run of form after holding Fortuna to a draw last week.

However, the Combine has rediscovered their 2019 league title winning form as was evident on the weekend.

The home side didn’t take long to start proceedings when they hit the scoreboard after only seven

minutes when Mark Fairbrother cut across the defence to drill the ball into the corner of the net.

Some Dylan Fairbrother magic saw him score twice within five minutes to put the home side 3-0 up.

Traralgon City were working hard, but with little reward as the United defenders kept the Roosters comfortably at bay.

A further goal by Alex Van Vliet put a smile on the coach’s face as they raced away to a 4-0 lead by the main break.

Ryan McCluskey and Jake Budija were valiant in their efforts for the Roosters, but Newborough/ Yallourn were simply too strong in all areas of the pitch.

Veteran Van Vliet made it a brace after a deft cross from Tristan Zimora, who then followed up with a goal for his team’s sixth.

Van Vliet rounded out the scoring with a clever finish to give him his hat-trick and seal a commanding victory.

WEEKEND PREVIEW  CHURCHILL v TRARALGON CITY (Sunday, 3pm)

IT’S the big 100 games up between Churchill and Traralgon City, two fierce competitors over the years.

But both sides are struggling towards the bottom

SENIORS P Pegasus 8 Falcons 8 Fortuna 8 Newb/Yall 8 Moe 8 Monash 8 Sale 8 Churchill 8 Traralgon City 8 East Gipps 8

W 7 6 5 5 5 1 2 1 1 0

PTS 21 19 17 16 15 7 7 5 4 2

 SALE v FORTUNA (Sunday, 3pm)

FORTUNA has had the wood over Sale throughout the years and this should continue.

The Lions weren’t allowed to play their usual brand of football against Traralgon City a fortnight ago, sharing the points with the Roosters.

Sale need to be wary of the deadly Fortuna strike force and the Morwell side will be looking to keep pace with those around them at the top of the table.

RECORD: Played 88, Fortuna 60, Sale 18, Drawn 10.

Last time: Fortuna 8-2.  PEGASUS v NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN (Sunday, 3pm)

end of the table, with Churchill (5 points) only one spot higher than Traralgon City (4 points).

The Roosters have the potential to cause a few headaches for the Rams which points to a competitive game where the honours could be shared.

THE match of the round is undoubtedly this one as first plays fourth in a match that will have significant repercussions for the league title.

The Flying Horsemen leapfrogged Falcons last time out to reclaim top position on the ladder, but they will need to be equally as strong when they host the in-form Newborough/Yallourn outfit.

The feature Saturday night fixture sees second placed Falcons 2000 host Monash.

Falcons are looking to rediscover their winning form after last week’s loss to Pegasus.

Monash, sitting sixth on the table, are traditionally a bogey side for the Birds.

EAST Gippsland will face a tough ask against Moe. The tyranny of distance has been an issue for East Gippsland, who is finding it difficult to field teams, particularly on the road.

Moe is yet to have drawn or lost to East Gippsland, a record which should remain intact.

RECORD: Played 99, Churchill 43, Traralgon City 37, Drawn 19: Last time: Traralgon City 3-1.  FALCONS v MONASH (Saturday, 7pm)

RECORD: Played 7, Pegasus 5, Newborough/Yallourn 2, Last time: Pegasus 2-1  EAST GIPPSLAND v MOE (Sunday, 3pm)

RECORD: Played: 61, Falcons 31, Monash 20, Drawn 10.

Last time: Falcons 4-0.

RECORD: Played 9, Moe 9, East Gippsland 0. Last time: Moe 7-0.

Gippsland FC enjoys impressive weekend UNDER-16

SOCCER

GIPPSLAND FC junior teams won three of four matches at the weekend.

UNDER-13

THE Under-13s travelled to Bentleigh to play against Bentleigh United Cobras.

With illness impacting the squad it resulted in only having one substitute for the day.

Gippsland dominated the first half however didn’t have the quality when needed in front of goal.

Gippsland took the lead after a well worked corner kick that came straight from the training ground with Mitch Dastey finishing it off with a side foot finished to the far corner to go in at the break 1-0 up.

The second-half opened up a bit and Gippsland raced to a 4-0 lead with goals from Jett Koppen (2) and Henry Knight.

However a bit of complacency set in allowing Bentleigh to pull two goals back despite some good saves from Cristian Guarascio in goal.

Gippsland steadied and managed to add a fifth through Knight’s second of the game.

UNDER-15

Top weekend: Gippsland FC won three of four matches at the weekend.

photograph supplied

THE Gippsland Under-15s are still striving for their first win of the regular season.

The boys have displayed good form in patches, but conceding early goals has forced the side to chase the game all too often.

Gippsland lost 4-1 to Ashburton.

Ashburton scored in the first minute of the match with a decisive goal.

Gippsland managed to hold sway through the rest of the first-half, with some great attacking runs.

Jesse Dugard was able to grab a great goal from a free kick early in the second half giving the boys some real confidence.

However, after a few positional moves and fresh players from the bench, a reinvigorated Ashburton were able to score three late goals to run away with the match.

For Gippsland, the reliable Angus Dempsey continued his strong form at left back, returning from injury Dylan Rosato played strongly in midfield, while Siya Mapiye and Jesse Dugard were creative on their wings.

GIPPSLAND’S Under-16s travelled up the Hume Highway to Shepparton in a battle of the regional teams.

In perfect conditions, GFC dominated the play.

Despite this Goulburn Valley Suns scored first.

It didn’t take Gippsland long to respond and equalize with Rex Parini whipping the ball into the box from a corner kick, and Brody Demagistris heading the ball into the back of the net.

Spurred on by the support from their families, GFC scored again five minutes later.

Harry Humphreys was able to tap the ball in after it had rebounded off the keeper.

The dominance of the Under-16s continued in the second half, with Humphreys scoring a second goal.

Goulburn Valley took one back late in the game, but Gippsland produced a true team effort to hold on and win 3-2.

UNDER-18

GIPPSLAND’S Under-18s also made the long haul to Shepparton to take on the unbeaten Goulburn Valley Suns.

The home team had Gippsland FC under pressure from the start, creating several chances.

Gippsland FC were up to the challenge however and were working hard to get into the game.

The visitors were looking dangerous on the break and at the 25 minute mark they would take the lead thanks to Gippsland FC striker Cain Layland finding the bottom corner for the opening goal of the game.

Both teams had several more chances in the first-half however the score would remain 1-0 to Gippsland FC at the main break.

Gippsland FC defenders Connor McGivern and Dylan Dunstall were controlling the back line despite the pressure from the Goulburn Valley Suns.

Gippsland FC were still pressing hard for a second goal and it would be Hayden Berton bursting through for his team’s second goal giving Gippsland FC the belief they could win against the undefeated Goulburn Valley Suns.

There was still plenty of time left for the home team, however Gippsland FC weren’t to be denied a fantastic 2-0 away win.

Bulldogs find their bite and clip Hawks’ wings FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

By ROB POPPLESTONE

IN another exciting round of the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League, it was the final match of the weekend that created the most interest and anticipation.

The clash between Morwell East and Newborough, played on Saturday night, was always destined to draw a healthy crowd for a couple of reasons: one, because of the unique night time fixture, but two, the importanceoftheseteamswantingtogetafirm grip on a limited top five position later in the season.

 MORWELL EAST v NEWBOROUGH

MORWELL East had slowly, but surely seen improvement in what they delivered in the month since their shaky start and first up loss to Yinnar.

The Hawks four matches since that time had resulted in wins that quickly elevated them to second on the league ladder.

Newborough, just a win behind, but three places below them on the table, saw this as a perfect opportunity to further enhance their reputation as one of the league’s big improvers while also putting some distance between themselves and several other teams nipping at their heels.

The Bulldogs did what they had carefully planned to do, accounting for the Hawks comfortably 11.17 (83) to 5.9 (39).

Newborough coach Craig Skinner said it was the best performance from his team this season.

“It was great to be part of Morwell East’s initiative to play under lights on a Saturday night, it just might suit us,” he said.

“Not always as a coach does preparation meet expectation, but I felt Saturday night is as close as I’ve been, a good start was important for our young team against a side of experienced players, if all were in their prime are an interleague squad.”

The start was the key for the visitors, but it shouldn’t have been a start that surprised the home side.

Morwell East coach Devon Soutar said the match was a huge letdown.

“It was a carbon copy of our first game of the year, just completely out worked, especially early,” he said.

“We were able to somewhat stabilise after quarter time but never managed to make inroads.

“In terms of prioritising team structure, communication and work ethic, a stark contrast was on display for all to see.

“At the moment we have a number of players who would sell their soul for the group, but far too many are comfortable sitting in the back of the bus, extremely disappointing considering the enormity of the game.”

The door is well and truly open for sides to step up and take opportunity, but there are limited opportunities.

 BOOLARRA v MIRBOO NORTH

BOOLARRA returned home to take care of the Tigers in a match that loomed, as so many do at this stage of the season, as crucial, given that the Demons had found themselves precariously positioned inside the league’s top five after last week’s loss at the hands of Newborough.

Their opponents on the weekend, Mirboo North, after three opening round losses, had managed to win their last two games by less than a kick, and in doing so, also started to have a new found confidence in what they were capable of.

That confidence was quickly knocked out as the visiting Tigers lost 10.3 (63) to 6.5 (41).

Boolarra coach Tony Giardina said it was always good to beat Mirboo North.

“It was good to get back on the winners list, a tough first half as I expected against Mirboo North, our ball use was letting us down, but again we cleaned that up after half-time and the game started to open up for us, still a tough contest till the end,” he said.

Mirboo North certainly had some issues pregame to deal with, but you line up as you line up and the Tigers were seemingly not near the side many thought they would be, Mirboo North coach Josh Taylor said there was reasons behind the performance.

“It was a really disappointing day for the club, unfortunately we have been hit by the flu and COVID and had 11 guys out in seniors which inevitably hurt us across the board both reserves and seniors,” he said.

“We still had chances in the game where we

looked the better side at stages but blokes not playing at 100 per cent took its toll.

“Boolarra moved the ball quite well and midway through the second quarter they ramped it up, no excuses on our end, we had chances but were just flat all day.”

Unfortunately for the Tigers the opportunities to have more flat days have just about gone.

 HILL END v FOSTER

SOME people get on, some people don’t, some clubs have a healthy rivalry and some also have a rivalry with a twist of nastiness as well.

From the outside looking in, it appeared that in a very short space of time these two teams had not only established a new found rivalry, but there was also not much love lost between the two either.

The Rovers are always keen to make their home ground a nightmare for any visiting teams, but with the competition so tight, winning this one would also deliver some extra satisfaction for the victors, and that’s what the Hillmen got, winning by one straight kick 11.9 (76) to 10.9 (69).

Hill End coach Mike Santo praised his troops.

“Foster played a high pressure game and is very well coached. Zane Duursma is a legitimate top five AFL draft pick if ever I’ve seen one,” he said.

“A hard fought game that we were happy to come out on top of, we were able to gain some ascendency around the stoppages which enabled us to play the game in our half for a majority of the day, it was big step up from last week and encouraging win with Luke Mulqueen, Chase Saunders and Ben Kerrigan crucial in the win.”

The loss came in a game played in good spirits, but was another tough one for Foster to take according to coach Sam Davies.

“It was a great game of footy, Hill End beat us through the midfield all day which gave their forwards one-on-ones and ground coverage, we still nearly pinched it but ultimately need to be better for longer throughout the games,” he said.

“Do yourself a favour and follow Zane Duursma’s journey, what a treat!”

Duursma is a name that has been thrown around at the highest level already at Port Adelaide, and it seems it won’t be long before another one that comes from the famous Foster family will be on show.

 YINNAR v THORPDALE

YINNAR have proved to be the most difficult side to read in a handful of games to date, the Magpies seemingly unbeatable one week and then almost a shadow of their former self just seven days later.

Coach Daniel Taylor knows he has the artillery to go to war against almost every side in the competition, but having his men ready to perform at their very best every week is proving to be a little more difficult.

After a team meeting during the week rather than a training session, the Yinnar side did what they knew they could and did it better than they thought they might, with one of the biggest wins of the season, getting up over Thorpdale 22.17 (149) to 0.9 (9).

Taylor could not fault his side.

“The boys responded well after a disappointing two weeks, full four quarter effort by the boys which was great to watch, great to be back on the winners list in what is a very tight competition,” he said.

“It was a tough day for Thorpy, we know they had a few out which makes it hard, but I thought they battled on all day.”

The loss was too much for Thorpdale coach

Ray Pickering, who could only come back with “completely outplayed by a good outfit in Yinnar ... sorry I just have nothing else to say”.

The fact is you sometimes have a dirty day, and this was one of those days for the Blues. You can also forgive a side for ‘not being there’ on the odd occasion, but you cannot forgive two in a row, and that is now the challenge for Thorpdale.

 TOORA v MDU

A WEEK off for the Magpies probably couldn’t have come at a better time, given their winless start to the season was made worse by some unacceptable losing margins.

This week, after a bye and even at home their chances of a win looked slim given they were meeting the Demons on a high after their one-point victory over Hill End just seven days prior.

The Magpies it must be said have never given up even when faced with certain defeat, and on this occasion came within four points of winning their first match of the 2022 season, going down 8.6 (54) to 7.9 (51).

For Toora, it was a case of so close yet so far.

“We came so close, our side was well drilled and put in effort all day, our backline was amazing and two players in particular played great all day, Peter Grant and Jack Weston did amazing work, our structure was really strong and made everything for MDU tough, I’m proud of the players for the guts they showed,” coach Matt Ponton said.

The win for MDU was an important one on the back of their impressive win just a week earlier, and keeps the Demons in touch with the all-important top five.

MDU coach Peter Harris said Toora gave them a good run for their money.

“All credit needs to go to Toora, they made us play the game on their terms, we did just enough to take home the four points,” he said.

The competition is such that no side can spend too much time bathing in their success before quickly turning their attention to the week ahead.

 FISH CREEK v TARWIN

FISH Creek, as the home side, was in desperate need of another ‘w’ next to their name.

It certainly wasn’t panic stations for the Kangaroos, but a win to stay in touch with those above them was very important to say the least.

In short, we had two really good sides, but only one of which had an unbeaten record going into this Round 6 clash.

The visiting Sharks had taken all before them but were also quite clear on the improvement still needed as they confronted yet another tough month of football.

That improvement found another level when Tarwin made light work of Fish Creek to win 21.5 (131) to 6.7 (43).

Tarwin coach Troy Hemming was pleased with the effort.

“Very proud of the boys staying disciplined and grinding away with Fish Creek all day,” he said, With clubs across the region continuing to struggle with numbers due to COVID, the flu, injuries and availability all adding pressure on putting a side on the park, Fish Creek is no exception, as coach John Danckert explained.

“We had 12 out at the start of the day and finished the game with 17 again, that being said, Tarwin are a really good outfit, quick and really efficient with the footy, we felt we matched them at centre clearance but from then on, they tore us apart,” he said.

STONY Creek had the bye.

Rampaging Roos bring bounce to their season

FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By SCOTT BERECHREE

IN a weekend that saw four of the top five sides play each other it seems odd that the biggest talking point seemingly occurred in the game that pitted two sides with a win apiece against each other.

But that’s how it was in the aftermath of a fascinating Round 7 of North Gippsland Football-Netball League action.

HEYFIELD entered their clash with Gormandale as hot favourites.

The Kangaroos were coming off their first win of the year and Gormandale was besieged by injury and unavailability.

But few if any would have foreseen what took place over the next four quarters of play.

Heyfield got back to their ruthless, unrelenting best and after kicking 7.7 (49) to no score in the first quarter the contest was over.

What unfolded from there was the stuff of nightmares for the Tigers - the Kangaroos kicked 10, eight and then five majors across the next three quarters to run away winners 35.25 (205) to no score.

Jesse Bedggood was irrepressible in front of the big sticks slamming home 10, with six other players kicking multiple goals with a staggering dozen Kangaroos all ending up kicking goals.

The shining light for Gormandale was again Kodie Owen who has been enormous so far this season, registering no less than five best on ground performances from his six outings.

First season coach Chris Potalej and club president Daniel Earl will have a job ahead of them this week keeping the players as upbeat as possible.

These two however have seen plenty of adversity over the years at Gormandale and are the right two blokes to get the job done.

The challenge here is for the players to throw their support behind the club leaders and show that Saturday was an aberration that won’t be accepted or repeated this year.

With Rosedale awaiting them this week and Yarram the week after it is important to build some momentum on and off the park as the club heads into its big clash with Glengarry on June 18 when Jarryd Roughead and many of the Tigers’ better players are likely to return.

For Heyfield, it will be a case of repeating the effort in the coming weeks and building some confidence coming into a tough run of games that sees them take on Churchill, Traralgon Tyers United and Yallourn Yallourn North after they head to Cowwarr this week in a game they would now surely be expected to win.

THE clash between Woodside and Churchill promised to be a ripping contest, with an undermanned Churchill making the trek to Wildcat territory with the home side coming off a near 100-point win.

If the game wasn’t over by quarter-time when the visitors led 28 points to one behind it surely was at the main break when Churchill headed to the away rooms leading 9.6 (60) to 2.2 (14).

Even with the game almost beyond dispute the contest only got hotter with several spot fires breaking out across the field.

Three players were given their marching orders and a Churchill player whisked away to hospital with suspected broken ribs following a heavy clash which saw the umpire pull out the pen and paper.

While all this was going on the ever green Brendan Holt was slotting goal after goal, finishing with five, while on-ball weapon Jake Roe-Duggan hit the scoreboard for the second week in a row finishing with three majors.

For Woodside, only Ryan Foat managed multiple goals in what was an ordinary day for the home side.

Things get no easier for the Wildcats, who now face TTU and YYN in a tough fortnight that could well define their season.

THE other game involving top four sides saw a much closer match-up with YYN taking all four quarters to get the better of a persistent TTU outfit.

After kicking five goals to three to open the contest the home side Jets’ looked to have things on their terms.

TTU had other ideas however and after limiting the Jets to only two points in the second term things were as good as even when both sides headed for the sheds at the long break.

The third quarter was an arm wrestle that saw both sides add a pair of majors to their scores, setting up an epic finish with YYN leading by just three points at the final change. When Keenan Hughes kicked his fourth of the game the Jets led by just over

a goal and that’s where the margin stayed with the home side eking out a hard-fought seven-point win, 9.7 (61) to 8.6 (54).

Campbell MacInnes, Dylan Bentley and Jai Massese were listed as better players for the winners.

For TTU, it was midfield bull Mitch Mustoe and Liam Willaton, one of two multiple goal kickers for the Bombers, noted as better players.

If their victory over Churchill didn’t tell the league then this hard-fought loss to the ladder leaders certainly did - TTU is the real deal.

SALE City, bolstered by the return of Bohdi Walker, dismantled Cowwarr in a dominant four quarter performance at home.

Jack Kirkham and Walker slotted four each for the winners, who increased their lead in every quarter and ultimately got the victory by 112 points, 21.10 (136) to 3.6 (24).

Blake Safstrom, Josh Tollner and Ben Brett were among the best for the winners while for the Saints it was Ben Coffey, Shane Morgan and Nick Wozniak listed as best.

THE final clash of the round opened with a bang.

Glengarry on the road to Rosedale slotted five goals straight in the first quarter.

Generally this would see the visiting side run into the quarter time huddle full of enthusiasm, however in this instance the Magpies actually trailed by 18 points as the siren sounded.

Rosedale had managed 13 scores and slotted 7.6 (48) While the scoring continued for both sides in a free flowing contest, sadly for the visiting Magpies so too did the scoring ratio and the home side ran away 40-point winners 18.15 (123) to 13.5 (83).

Midfield jet Rohan Diamond had a day out slotting seven goals with Thomas Northe helping himself to five in a best on ground effort for the Blues.

For Glengarry, it was Jackson Hall and Spencer Poulton with four goals each that led the way. Hall was joined by Jack Burgess and Paul Henry as the best three on the ground for the Magpies.

YARRAM had the bye.

Tigers’ terrific triumph FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

AT least two games involving Latrobe Valley based teams raised a few eyebrows in Round 7 of the Gippsland League.

Morwell’s victory over Wonthaggi was full of merit, while Moe’s performance against Drouin arguably left more questions than answers as to just where the Lions sit in the overall scheme of things.

Traralgon had little trouble accounting for Bairnsdale, and has established a stable platform on which to build, boasting the second-best percentage in the competition.

MORWELL was the talk of the town last Saturday night.

The Tigers prevailed in a nail biting contest over Wonthaggi, getting up by the barest of margins, 10.7 (67) to 9.12 (66).

A youthful Morwell showed great maturity to fight back from a 22-point deficit at halftime, hanging on for a memorable win in front of their home crowd.

Morwell had the fate of the game taken out of their hands, as a Power set shot right on the final siren faded in for a behind.

The kick netted a huge sigh of relief for those wearing the yellow and black, and also provided a good leveller after last week’s narrow loss to Maffra.

Wonthaggi took the ascendancy after an even first quarter, capitalising on a few Morwell errors in the second.

The Power added five goals to one heading into the main break, and looked to have the contest under control.

However, with the Tigers then lifted around contested ball, they were able to get back into the game as the scoreboard began to take care of itself.

Morwell could not miss in the third, adding six straight goals, while at the other end, the work of Tiger talls Dan Musil and Ryan Hearn dropping back in defence choked the Power’s forward movement.

The Tigers took a slender six-point lead into the last, and held on for dear life in a pulsating finish.

Both teams managed just one goal in the fourth term, but this was arguably due to an increased pressure rate employed by Morwell.

Up to three quarter time the Tigers had laid an estimated 50 tackles for the game. They laid around 20 alone in the last.

Tristen Waack was instrumental in the win, and received good support from Brandon McAuliffe, Tyler Hillier, Cody MacDonald and Tyler Brown.

Those checking the Morwell goal kickers would have noticed one name stand out in the form of Anthony Rosato. The former Morwell captain was thought to have played his last game for the club in 2021, but now that he has made an appearance, interest will abound to see how many times he pulls on the yellow and black this season.

Noah Anderson kicked two goals for Wonthaggi to be named best. Others to play well were Tim Knowles, Aiden Lindsay, Jack Hutchinson, Ryan Sparkes and Toma Huther.

The win keeps Morwell within touching distance of the top five, and is sure to provide the young group with a great deal of confidence.

Conversely, the result continues to have the adjective ‘underwhelming’ most closely associated with Wonthaggi.

Granted the season is yet to fully materialise, the Power’s performances to date have hardly been in the mould of one tipped to be a genuine premiership contender, with a four-point loss and now a one-point loss in the last fortnight against opponents it was expected to defeat.

TRARALGON overcame the hardest road trip in Gippsland football.

The Maroons made the long drive to Bairnsdale and returned home after a resounding 18.10 (118) to 6.11 (47) win.

The win was enough to keep Traralgon locked in outright fourth position on the ladder, and also consigned the Redlegs once again to the foot of the table.

While a 71-point victory might have suggested otherwise, the Maroons did not simply waltz through the park.

Scores were virtually level at half-time, but Traralgon was able to break away, kicking five goals to none in the third to get the game back on their terms.

The scoreboard blew out in the last as the Maroons put in a 30-minute blitz, kicking seven goals to none.

Brett Eddy nabbed half a dozen majors, and Harvey Neocleous four.

Best for Traralgon was Luis D’Angelo, Adam Jaensch, Eddy, Luke Johnson, Tate Marsh and Tom Schneider.

Euphoric: Morwell players and supporters celebrate after the Tigers thrilling one-point win over Wonthaggi. photograph morwell fnc Youngster Josh Hamilton, who made his debut last week, was able to get on the score sheet, adding a goal to be one of seven to send one through the big sticks for the Maroons.

Randal Stewart, Kieran Vickery and Cooper Vickery put in honest efforts for Bairnsdale.

Traralgon coach Jake Best kicked two goals in his return from injury, but being the perfectionist he is, will no doubt be looking to address the slow starts that have plagued his team on a few occasions this season.

MOE just can’t play well at Drouin.

In 2015 and 2018 the Lions didn’t kick a goal in the last quarter, in 2019 they were behind at half-time, and in 2017 they had to come back from a 31-point deficit at threequarter time to win.

It happened again on the weekend, only this time the Lions had to come back from 18 points down at three quarter time to defeat the Hawks on their home deck.

Although Moe kicked five goals to none in the last quarter to win 12.11 (83) to 11.7 (73), it was hardly a performance to inspire any confidence given what had transpired in the preceding three terms.

Coming up against a Drouin team on the bottom of the ladder, the second-placed Lions’ very nearly paid the price for committing the deadliest of sins - pride.

The Hawks burst out of the blocks, kicking 5.0 (30) to 2.1 (13) to make the early running.

With their tails up, Drouin continued on their way, and took a 17-point lead into the sheds.

The first half was punctuated by Moe being unable to get their hands on the ball, while Drouin’s unlikely momentum provided possibly the most challenging beast in football to overcome - an underdog with the sniff of an upset.

Things went from bad to worse for the Lions’ in the third, as a somewhat bewildering five minute patch saw the Hawks kick three goals in red time.

The worst well and truly looked to be on the cards for Moe, as frustrations boiled over in the wake of what could be termed ‘confusing officiating’ that saw Lions midfielder Trent Baldi sent to the naughty corner for a 15 minute spell following an all-in scuffle.

Drouin had the match there for the taking, up by three goals with one quarter to play, while Moe would be starting the fourth quarter a man down.

Lions’ playing coach Declan Keilty brought his team together for some stern words before the main huddle, telling them to concentrate on matters more conducive to playing good football.

While this writer is loathed at seeing the ‘before we go in’ huddle, as it generally only reflects notions of a crisis meeting, it seemed to have the desired effect in this instance, as Moe was able to steadily eat away at the deficit in the last.

The Lions got back on top in general play and continually pumped the ball inside 50.

Hulking forward Matt Barrand took a number of telling marks, as the Lions did their best to hit the lead amid even more confusion that saw a Moe goal disallowed after the ball had been shepherded through only for the act to be deemed an off the ball hold.

At that moment even the most impartial spectator would have found it difficult to think anything less than ‘wow’.

More confusion was to follow as Lions captain Jacob Wood was stuck on the sidelines for a good 15 minutes before finally getting back on. One would have thought with the game on the line a team would want their skipper out on the ground.

Moe midfielder Riley Baldi lifted another gear, and kick a clinical goal from long range to see his side get in front by four points at the 22-minute mark.

Drouin more than likely became nervous as the Lions kept coming, to the point where they couldn’t hold on any longer.

Sensing a need to kill the game, Keilty went loose down back and denied a few last gasp efforts from the Hawks.

Somewhat fittingly, the match ended in even more confusion, as Barrand was given a 50 metre penalty after the siren for something no one quite knew what was for.

In an act that seemed to sum up the agitation most felt about how the game panned out, Barrand launched the ball from point-blank range over the net of the Drouin Recreation Reserve to see the final margin read eight points in Moe’s favour.

Barrand finished with four goals to be among the best players, while Bailey Humphrey, Scott Van Dyk, James Blaser, Ben Daniher and Riley Baldi stood out.

Tim Hancock, Aden Quirk and Tom Barr were best for Drouin.

Some fortuitous timing allowed Victoria Country representative Humphrey and Casey Demon Baldi to play for their local club, much to Moe’s benefit. It could be justifiably argued their presence played a significant hand in the result.

With this in mind, the Lions’ current 6-1 record perhaps puts them ahead of where they really are, with the margin in this game and a one-point win over Traralgon highlighting a couple of times already Moe has needed to use the ‘get out of jail’ card and you only get so many of them in football before your luck runs out.

Gippsland League pundit will be watching on with interest to see if the Lions’ luck does indeed run out, and it could well be due this week as the team takes on Leongatha, who are set to come at Moe like a freight train.

Regardless of what the Moe players think internally about how they are travelling, they will all surely know that if they play like they did against Drouin against Leongatha, they will get creamed.

And we are talking 15 goals creamed.

SALE made it five wins in a row.

The Magpies were too strong for Warragul and got the job done 16.18 (114) to 7.11 (53) at Sale Oval.

Things didn’t get off to the brightest of starts for Sale, as the Gulls kicked three goals to one in the first quarter.

From there however it was all the Magpies.

The home side blew the match open in the second, adding nine goals to take a 38-point lead into the main break.

Sale playing coach Jack Johnstone was everywhere, and finished with 30 touches and five goals.

Best for Warragul was Nick Graham, Brayden Fowler and Nick Mulqueen.

The win over Warragul led in to a great night for Sale players past and present, who gathered for their annual reunion.

Johnstone addressed the audience, which was made up mostly of members and officials from the 2012 senior premiership.

Seeing the 2012 senior premiership cup and seeing the sheer size of it in the flesh, one couldn’t help but think - ‘be nice to have one of those.’

MAFFRA put up a good fight against Leongatha.

The Eagles stayed with the ladder leading Parrots for most of the contest, falling short in a competitive match by 20 points.

Maffra was only 14 points adrift at the last change before the professionalism and experience of Leongatha shone through as they won 13.11 (89) to 9.15 (69).

Looking at the team list, it is clear Leongatha did not take an overly weakened line-up to Maffra, with names such as Tom Marriott, Aaron Heppell, Josh Hopkins and Jackson Harry all in the best players.

Hudson Holmes continued his outstanding form to be among the best players for Maffra.

Valley trio’s clean sweep NETBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

MORWELL continues to set a hot pace in Gippsland League netball.

The Tigers won again at the weekend, taking care of Wonthaggi.

It took the home side a while to get going, but they were able to break away and win 53 to 35.

Moe secured an important win over Drouin.

Travelling west to take on the Hawks, the Lions passed what was something of a litmus test against

a side hovering within close proximity on the ladder.

Laini Galea was best for the victors, who won 61-34.

Traralgon made it three wins in a row.

The Maroons travelled to Bairnsdale, and ensured it was an enjoyable trip home after recording a win to the tune of 21 points.

The result keeps Traralgon in the hunt for a finals berth, and they will start favourite in their next two games against Sale and Maffra as the halfway mark of the season looms.

Sale still only has one win to its name, and was unable to get over the top of Warragul last weekend.

The Magpies went down at home 49-30.

Maffra was also defeated on their home court, losing to Leongatha 57-37.

There was better news for the Eagles longevity stakes, as Chloe Felsbourg and Chloe Smith, both still eligible for the Under 15s, made their A Grade debut.

The Parrots are looking to be the most likely team to topple Morwell in the quest for the premiership.

Leongatha is second on the ladder, and along with Moe, could thrive on the notion of hunting the Tigers as opposed to being the hunted.

Mirboo North make it six on the trot NETBALL MID GIPPSLAND

By LIAM DURKIN

Building: Morwell East has the highest percentage in Mid Gippsland netball.

MIRBOO North remains unbeaten in Mid Gippsland netball.

The Tigers have won six games from as many starts, with their latest victory being a crushing 99-45 win over Boolarra.

By virtue of there being byes in the MGFNL competition, Mirboo North is second on the ladder, with Toora on top.

The Magpies have won five games and dropped none, and hold the lofty first place thanks to a percentage of 213.68.

Toora was able to increase its percentage at the weekend, as it disposed of Meeniyan Dumbalk United.

The match was won by the Magpies in a 44-22 score line.

In terms of percentage, Morwell East actually has

the highest. The Hawks sit third with 20 points and a percentage of 228.99.

Morwell East took care of Newborough, winning 62-39 under lights at the nest.

Sukie Hodgson played a great game for the winners and was named best on court.

The Bulldogs were well served by Amber Macmanus, Tanya Knowles and Elise Sim making a special appearance.

Hill End won by 10 goals against Foster.

The Rovers took their ledger to 2-4 to stay in the hunt for a finals berth.

Jessica Baillie and Katie Martin were instrumental in the win.

Yinnar had too many answers for Thorpdale.

The Magpies annihilated the Blues to keep their top four position fully entrenched.

Stony Creek had the bye.

Wildcats hold off determined Cougars NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By LIAM DURKIN

WOODSIDE proved its worth in Round 7 of North Gippsland netball.

The Wildcats defeated worthy opponents in Churchill, getting the job done 38-23.

The victory ensured Woodside remained unbeaten, while the Cougars have slipped to 3-3 following an indifferent few weeks.

Emily Lugton battled hard for Churchill.

Georgie Banik played her 150th match for the Wildcats, and celebrated in the best possible fashion.

The Banik name is synonymous with Woodside,

with the most famous of course being Anthony (Georgie’s dad), who was taken at Number 1 in the 1989 AFL Draft by Richmond.

Banik played his first senior game as a 14-year-old for what was then Won Wron-Woodside in 1987, kicking three goals against Yarram.

Legend has it Kevin Sheedy, having heard of Banik’s potential, sent an Essendon official all the way down to Won Wron for the game.

Yallourn Yallourn North continued their good recent form.

The Jets defeated TTU 44-27 in a match that saw YYN control most passages of play.

Trish Chapman played a great game for the Jets, as did Annalise Gafa.

Heyfield won its second match for the season,

getting over Gormandale by 20 goals, prevailing 37-17.

Glengarry solidified its credentials further, winning against Rosedale 61-51.

A high scoring game went hand-in-hand with a high-stakes affair that pitted two finals aspirants against each other.

The Magpies win now sees them equal second on the ladder with Sale City.

The Blues meanwhile, are in unfamiliar territory outside the top five with a 3-3 record.

The A Grade competition is certainly an even one, with five teams all on 12 points.

Amazingly - eighth is equal fourth.

Yarram had the bye.

Ramayer is truly Lion-hearted

NETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

OF all the things Ramayer Gourley has achieved in netball, the greatest may well be for something they don’t hand out trophies for.

Those watching the Moe A Grade playing-coach would have no reason to believe anything abnormal was happening.

After all, Gourley is one of the Gippsland League’s premier defenders, with a resume that reads: grand final best on court twice, four selections in the league team of the year, and experience representing Vic Fury in the Australian Netball League.

While this is impressive enough, it pales in significance considering what she has had to overcome in the last few years just to get back onto the court.

Having progressed to ANL level in 2017, Gourley looked set to progress further, before being struck down with what turned out to be, among other things, autoimmune arthritis.

“I first really starting feeling it in my hips and shoulders in my first season at Fury, so it came to a head at a really bad time because I felt I had just taken that step in my netball career,” she said.

“I had one season with Fury which is a big load, you play back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday for however many weeks then finals. We made the grand final that year, it was during that time, toward the end of the 2017 season my body was pretty sore.

“Predominantly it started from my groin, I was actually diagnosed with osteitis pubis, which wasn’t a wrong diagnosis, it was just a side effect of the arthritis."

The 27-year-old said she had no real reason to believe such a disease would beset her.

“My pop had mild psoriasis on my mother’s side and my dad also has very mild psoriasis, it would flare up every couple of years, but he would easily get rid of it,” she said.

“When I finally got diagnosed I was going to Olympic Park and I met up with the doctor and she thought it was definitely osteitis pubis but she thought something else was going on as well."

With the pain becoming excruciating, Gourley was forced to reshuffle her entire life.

“Those couple of months where I couldn’t get out of bed, it wasn’t every day, but some days the

No barrier: Moe A Grade netball playing-coach Ramayer Gourley has not let autoimmune arthritis stop her from playing. photograph liam durkin pain was so bad I physically could not get out of bed,” she said.

“There was a period of time I thought not just netball, but functioning as a normal adult on my own was going to be impossible.

“I couldn’t even drive. It was strange because it was mostly my left shoulder so I couldn’t change gears.”

During this time, Gourley tried to make the most of a difficult situation, using her artistic talents to help her recovery.

“I actually did a big piece at uni about my arthritis, that was my last studio work that I did,” she explained.

“When I was originally diagnosed I had all these

preconceptions about what arthritis looked like, my thought was it went to my hands, so I did a series of hand drawings.

“Deep down I really wanted to get back playing, but when I wasn’t able to walk I was thinking ‘let’s take it step by step’, let’s get to a point where you can go through a day maybe at 80 per cent pain free.

“Once I got to the point where I didn’t feel pain all the time I went for a walk, then a run, slowly chipping away at what my body could handle and I got to a point where I could actually play again.”

Slowly but surely, Gourley was able to make a return to the court, and came back with a blast in

2019, making another Gippsland League Team of the Year.

Describing arthritis as a ‘shooting pain’, Gourley now takes injections twice fortnightly in her stomach to help stay on top of the disease - something she says “doesn’t tickle” but is necessary nonetheless.

The defender has been able to return to virtually full fitness this season, and said she was loving her time on the court.

“My biggest thing this year, it was actually Round 1 for VNL, I just had the best time and I came off and it was so much fun,” she said.

“I realised it was probably the first time in five or six years where I wasn’t in pain, I was able to just play the game I loved and it didn’t hurt."

Gourley is staying heavily involved in the game, coaching not only Moe, but at Lowanna College and said she was grateful for all the support received.

“My family, Declan (partner Declan Keilty) especially have carried me through. When I was going through that phase I didn’t know why I was in this pain, that was the worst part, during those years I needed that support,” she said.

Higher things in netball might not be totally out of the question for Gourley, who has made the Collingwood training squad for the Super League.

Reflecting on her journey was especially poignant given last Friday was World Autoimmune Arthritis Day. Even if it was in a small way, Gourley hoped the old saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ shone through.

“What I struggled with so much while this was happening was I looked like an able-bodied person, but I wasn’t,” she said.

“You never know what people are going through and that is why you need to be kind.

“For people that might be going through anything remotely similar to me, be patient, do what you can, you are still going to have a future, it might look differently to what you originally planned but you can still make the most out of it in other aspects.”

Boilovers highlight midweek meeting at Moe HORSE RACING

By LIAM DURKIN

MIDWEEK racing was held at Moe Racing Club on Tuesday, May 17.

The club hosted an eight-race meeting on a track initially rated a Soft 7.

While the track itself had an offical grading, the atmospheric condition had most in attendance quipping in classical Australian understatement that it was ‘a bit fresh’.

With beanies and Kathmandu jackets a familiar sight at the meeting, the actual racing acted like a fireworks display - with people coming outside for the racing every half an hour before retreating back indoors or undercover.

The meeting also kept those civilly minded happy, as they could simply shoot next door to the Moe Bowling Club in between races to vote in the Federal Election.

The Ladbroke It! Maiden Plate over 2050 metres was won by Gimme A Buzz for Pakenham trainer Tim Hughes.

The three-year-colt put in a strong performance, leading at the 800m and 400m mark to win by 1.5 lengths.

In a nice touch, one of the connections said postrace they could now complete their bumblebee tattoo, adding the date Gimme A Buzz secured its first win.

The Ian Grant’s Caravans Fillies Maiden Plate (1100m) saw Black Orlov win for Robbie Griffiths and Matthew de Kock at Cranbourne.

It took just one race for Moe’s StrathAyr sand-based track to be upgraded to a Soft 6, and Black Orlov took to the turf with ease, winning by almost four lengths.

Trafalgar jockey Jason Maskiell had to make do with riding second on board Miss Mouse for Benalla’s Russell Osborne.

The Bottlemart Moe Maiden Plate (1100m) was won by Shove Over, who fought to the line with Black Zous.

Jockey Patrick Moloney continued his love affair at Moe, having rode the winner of last year's Moe Cup. Wolf Rein won easily to take the Moe Optical Maiden Plate (1200m).

The three-year-old filly was rarely challenged, leading for most of the sprint to win in a canter by four lengths.

There was a further connection to a local cup winner, as Wolf Rein was ridden by Jamie Mott, the man who piloted Huntly Castle to victory in last year’s Traralgon Cup. In the S&S Equipment Hire BM64 Handicap (1200m), Burton Street took advantage of a good barrier draw that suited those running on the inside on a superior patch of grass.

The Cranbourne trained gelding responded well after being spelled for four weeks to take the win for trainer Patrick Keane.

The TM&H Mitre 10 Class 2 Handicap (1600m) saw a Gippsland winner, as Flying Basil recovered from an underwhelming start to win by 1.25 lengths.

The win gave Bairnsdale trainer Jackson Pallot more silverware to take back east, continuing a remarkable run for Flying Basil, who has now won four of its last five starts.

Brains trust: Moe Racing Club chief executive officer Shane Berry, committee member Roger Surprise packet Devon Miss won the Ladbrokes Taylor, chairman Michael Vanderfeen and committee member Michael Walshe at the midweek Mates Mode BM58 Handicap (2400m) for Bass meeting. trainer Belinda Simpson, while the best race was saved for last, with a quartet of horses all passing the post with less than 0.5 of a length separating them.

In the end, Mott was able to secure another win, taking the Hip Pocket LV BM64 Handicap (1100m) on board Archipeta Beach.

Archipeta Beach rounded out a difficult quaddie for punters to find, paying more than $28,000 on the Victorian TAB. The finish was perhaps a fitting one for racecaller and Stony Creek Racing Club chief executive officer Adam Olszanski to deliver.

The man known as 'the voice of racing' has been working alongside executives from Moe, Stony Creek, Latrobe Valley (Traralgon), Sale and Bairnsdale Racing Club's to help see the sport flourish in Gippsland.

Racing will next be held at Moe on Sunday, June 5.

POOL prodigy Jack Green is continuing to go from strength to strength.

A fixture of the Wellington and Latrobe Valley billiards scene, Green is preparing to represent Australia at two international tournaments in October.

The first of those tournaments is the World Blackball Championships in Albi, France from October 8 to 15, with Green part of the Australian Under-23 team.

Following that, he will participate in the World 8-Ball Pool Championships in Killarney, Ireland from October 19-27 with the Under-19s squad.

His participation in the latter tournament has been a long time coming, having qualified for the Australian side back in 2019.

“I qualified sixth in the singles, which got me first emergency for the 8-ball side; then one player pulled out, which got me the spot in the 8-ball team,” Green said.

At present, the youngster is excited rather than nervous about travelling overseas – “the nerves haven’t really kicked-in” – and is currently raising funds to help with expenses.

“We’re trying to get our local leagues to help me a little bit, and we’re having a few fundraisers at Bunnings, selling a few sausages as well, so that’ll help me,” Green said.

Additionally, Big Country Carpentry – Green’s employer – has sponsored $500, while there are also plans for fundraising tins at Sporting Legends in Sale.
