An icon of the Latrobe Valley

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

One of a kind: Don Di Fabrizio with the stand named in his honour at Falcons Park.

DON Di Fabrizio has been remembered as a giant of the Latrobe Valley community after his death on January 20 at the age of 88.

Born in the Abruzzo region of Italy in 1933, he migrated to Australia in 1954, living and working as a riveter, rigger and boilermaker in Geelong before moving to Morwell in 1955.

He had an indelible impact on the Valley during the next six decades.

A born entrepreneur, he established D & G Di Fabrizio Steel Fabrication and Erection in 1961 with his younger brother Giovanni, starting out manufacturing wrought iron in the family’s backyard shed.

Within a decade the company employed 50 full-time workers.

It grew into the DiFABRO Group of companies, which at its peak employed up to 300 people and was best known for work on major projects such as the construction of Loy Yang B and The Great Southern Stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Mr Di Fabrizio was the architect behind the meteoric rise of the Morwell Falcons to the National Soccer League.

He spent 23 years as president of Falcons after being first voted into the job when son Steven was playing soccer in the Under-10 team.

Mr Di Fabrizio agreed to do so on the proviso

VERY saddened to hear the news of the passing of Don Di Fabrizio. Only knew him a short while, but he was incredibly generous with his time, support and advice for me throughout the Team 11 bid and afterwards.

An absolute gentleman who I loved listening to, learning from.

Cr Kellie O’Callaghan

VERY sad to hear of the passing of Don Di Fabrizio. His contribution to our community was immense and he will be fondly remembered. A leader in industry, Morwell Falcons patron and past president, respected and admired by many. A generous man with a vision that will leave a legacy.

VALE The Don, a remarkable body of work for Australian football.

THE most fitting tribute would be the long overdue renovation of the facility he helped build for football at Morwell. RIP.

Latrobe Valley Soccer League

THE LVSL and wider Gippsland Soccer community is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Don Di Fabrizio. Don was instrumental in growing the profile of soccer in not only the Gippsland region, but also at a state and national level. The LVSL also acknowledges the wider work that Don undertook in the Latrobe Valley, particular around the establishment of the Morwell Immigration Park at Kernot Hall.

Morwell Falcons Past Players

that the club focused on building a winning team.

They did just that, winning championships in the Latrobe Valley and Provisional leagues, before a string of promotions saw Morwell Falcons admitted to the Victorian State League in 1982.

The golden run continued as Falcons were crowned kings of Victorian soccer in 1984 and again in 1989.

The National Soccer League beckoned and in June 1992, Morwell could lay claim to having a national sporting team of its own.

“I was always very fortunate in my time at the club to have so many good people working with me,” Mr Di Fabrizio wrote in his 2011 book My Years With The Falcons - Memories of a Soccer Supporter.

His outstanding contribution was recognised in 1995 with the grandstand at Falcons Park named in his honour.

A few months previously he had retired from the Falcons’ presidency, but Mr Di Fabrizio maintained his connection with the sport as a commissioner of Soccer Australia (now known as Football Australia).

“Football Australia is deeply saddened to hear the passing of Hall of Famer, Donato ‘Don’ Di Fabrizio OAM,” the governing body said.

“He was involved with the development of the sport at all national levels as well as marketing, television rights and the restructure of the National Soccer League.

“Don also contributed to the integration of women’s football under Soccer Australia, uniting the two national refereeing bodies, and was the inaugural chairman of the National Honours Awards program in 1997.”

Mr Di Fabrizio was inducted into the Football Australia Hall of Fame in 2008 for his outstanding service to the game.

It was one of the many honours bestowed on a man described as ‘an ornament to the game’.

Mr Di Fabrizio received a knighthood from the Italian Republic in 1995 and was awarded the Order of Australia in 1996 for his service to the construction industry and to soccer.

He was inducted in the Gippsland Soccer League Hall of Fame in 2012, was named Churchill’s Citizen of the Year in 2013 and Latrobe City’s Citizen of the Year in 2016.

Mr Di Fabrizio was instrumental in the establishment of Morwell Immigration Park at Kernot Hall.

Football Australia’s head of marketing, communications and corporate affairs Peter Filopoulos described him as a ‘football pioneer’.

“Don Di Fabrizio has left behind a legacy in Gippsland which is a reminder of his work, it’s time we now further developed that legacy in his honour,’’ Mr Filopoulos said.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan described his contribution to the community as ‘immense’.

“A leader in industry, Morwell Falcons patron and past president. Respected and admired by many. A generous man with a vision that will leave a legacy,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

The Latrobe Valley Soccer League expressed its condolences.

“Don was instrumental in growing the profile of soccer in not only the Gippsland region, but also at a state and national level,” it said.

Socceroo legend Gary Cole also paid tribute.

“Vale The Don, a remarkable body of work for Australian football,” Mr Cole said.

Former Falcons player Manny Gelagotis encapsulated the scale of what the club achieved under Mr Di Fabrizio’s presidency.

“To think he took a small country town and region on his shoulders into the National Soccer League is a story to treasure,” Mr Gelagotis said.

Peppercorn preservation panic

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LATROBE Valley locals are fighting to preserve Traralgon Railway Station’s majestic peppercorn tree.

The large tree has long been admired by members of the community and used as an escape from the elements on hot summer’s days.

However, it could be torn down to make room for station upgrades.

The work at Traralgon Station is part of the Gippsland Line Upgrade, which the Department of Transport report will wrap up in late 2022.

The Traralgon upgrade will include a second platform, a new accessible pedestrian overpass and improved amenities. Local bar and café The 3844, which is situated near the train station, has been outspoken about the issue.

The business took to social media last week to voice their concerns and garner public support.

“Whilst we’re really excited for this change (the upgrade) we’ve also been informed that our beloved Peppercorn tree, which sits just behind our building, is likely to be chopped down,” they said in a Facebook post.

“It would be such a shame to see this beautiful and old tree sacrificed unnecessarily, especially if it’s to make way for metal and concrete.

“This tree provides important shade to you at the bar and adds soul to our outdoor area. It also provides shade and comfort to locals, TAFE students on break, people waiting for the train, and station staff. Most of us would choose to stand under a tree over a concrete box.”

The 3844 owner Rishi Venkatachalam said that he hopes the tree will not be removed unless absolutely necessary.

“We want to know why it’s getting pulled down.” he told The Express.

“What’s the reason? Obviously if it needs to be pulled down for genuine reasons - if it’s justifiable - then fair enough, we understand.”

Mr Venkatachalam said he wished there was more open communication from government entities in regards to the construction plans.

Community members took over the comment section of The 3844’s original post, voicing their own concerns about the tree’s fate.

“I have admired this tree so many times, I cannot believe they are considering removing it,” one person wrote.

Beautiful: The Peppercorn tree showers its surrounds with shade.

“Definitely need to fight to keep this old tree and integrate it into any new design proposed,” another commenter chimed in.

On the morning of Tuesday, January 18, Latrobe City Major Kellie O’Callaghan made a social media post in response to those who had contacted the council in protest.

In her post, she thanked the community for making contact with council about their concerns.

Ms O’Callaghan explained that the council is not managing the project.

“Council have previously provided information to the Regional Rail Revival, Upgrading the Gippsland Line team regarding the importance of the tree to the local community,” she said in her post.

“Our team have made contact with the project team overnight & we will provide further updates as they become available.”

Additionally, Latrobe City Council has clarified that the tree is situated on VicTrack land - not council land - and have stated that the tree is non-native, and therefore no planning permit from council is required for its removal.

“Council understands the community’s concerns regarding the proposed removal of the Peppercorn Tree located at the Traralgon Railway Station and has shared these views with VicConnect, who are undertaking the project on behalf of Rail Projects Victoria,” a council spokesperson said.

“We are continuing to liaise with the owners of The 3844 and VicConnect about the options available. The Minister for Planning is the responsible authority for the project.”

The peppercorn tree is in close proximity to a planned electrical room and a bike storage structure.

“We’re upgrading Traralgon Station to deliver more frequent and reliable train services for the community, as well as station improvements – including a second platform, new accessible pedestrian overpass, and an architecturally designed forecourt area equipped with seating and new vegetation,” Regional Rail Revival director Mark Havryluk said.

“Significant work has gone into minimising the impacts to vegetation within the station precinct during the planning and design of the project.

“We recognise the community is concerned about the future of the peppercorn tree located behind The 3844 bar/cafe, and we’re continuing to explore if there are any alternative locations for key infrastructure as part of these important upgrades to Traralgon Station.”

Council: Govt support needed for reserve

LATROBE City Council is calling on the state and federal governments to back a multimillion-dollar plan to help Traralgon Recreation Reserve rebound from the devastating June 2021 storm and floods.

Latrobe City had proposed a $10 million project to develop a flood-proof multi-use pavilion at the rec reserve and a new community hub and events space at Glenview Park.

Councillors supported the decision at Latrobe City’s November council meeting as many buildings at the reserve need to be demolished due to storm and flood damage.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the last year’s floods caused major damage to the Traralgon Recreation Reserve which had significantly impacted many user groups.

“The extent of this damage was more extreme than anticipated, with a number of buildings beyond repair and requiring demolition,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Council believes there is an opportunity to create new, purpose-built spaces to better accommodate all user groups and prevent future damage in the event of flooding.

“We are seeking assistance from the state and federal government to resource this project and support our community’s ongoing recovery from the devastating June storm and flood event.”

The multi-use pavilion would cater to the Traralgon Football Netball Club, Traralgon Boxing Club, Ex Students Cricket Club and other potential tenants.

Glenview Park would be further developed to include an outdoor event space and community hub including a number of buildings for community use.

These community buildings would cater for groups such as the Traralgon Men’s Shed and include a purpose-built facility for Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby and Latrobe Valley Dodgeball Association.

Other Glenview Park user groups such as the Latrobe Valley Racing Club, Traralgon Croquet Club and Ravens Equestrian Club would also be accommodated by the development.

Council has pledged $2 million for the Traralgon Flood Recovery Project and will seek state and federal funding support to reach the $10 million benchmark.

Congratulations Erica on expo success CONGRATULATIONS to the people of Erica on their successful country expo held at the Erica recreation reserve (The Express, 19/1/22).

It’s fantastic when small communities band together to find a solution rather than whinge about a problem.

Times are tough with all sorts of pandemic related issues to navigate and overcome, so to see them host such a successful event is to be lauded.

Small communities need not let the issues of the day define them, but rather use those same issues to bind and unite them.

Well done to the organisers for their efforts.

New tax threatens regional Victoria’s growth

MANY people are choosing to make the move to country Victoria for a better life and lifestyle for themselves and their family.

But shortages in building materials, new regional housing lots and a greedy new tax grab by the state government are threatening to put the brakes on regional Victoria’s potential.

Property experts fear Labor’s massive new housing tax will mean first home buyers and families will pay at least $25,000 for new housing lots.

They also say it will stonewall new home builds in towns where it’s most needed, particularly in rural and remote towns where it will make small scale of developments an unviable investment.

The Nationals opposed this new tax, because we want to see our rural and regional towns grow and thrive.

If elected to government in November, we’ll support families and young Victorians to realise the dream of owning or building their own home.

Our positive plan to release 50,000 new lots onto the market will boost supply in rural communities outside of metropolitan Melbourne and the city of Greater Geelong.

We’ll achieve it by investing in sending skilled planning experts to work with smaller councils to boost their resourcing and speed up the approvals process.

We’ll also make the necessary legislative changes to stop applications for new developments getting stranded on the Minister’s desk.

Population growth has many benefits.

More people means more spending, more jobs, more services, better education and healthcare and more opportunities for country Victorian businesses to grow and thrive.

There’s an opportunity lapping at our doorstep.

The Nationals will continue to work proactively with regional Victorian communities to reach our full potential and build an even better future.

Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals Shadow Minister for Regional Victoria

Rewriting history does not help republic push

REPUBLICAN activist David Muir’s gross misrepresentation of the history of the 1998 Constitutional Convention is a reminder to all Australians that they were wise to reject the proposed republican vandalisation of our constitution in 1999 by ensuring that all six states and 72 per cent of electorates voted no at that referendum (‘People’s model pivotal to success of becoming a republic’, The Express 19/1).

Mr Muir’s assertion that the 1998 Convention spent “little time considering a model for a

RECENTLY Tim Bull MP, Cindy McLeish MP, Tim McCurdy MP, Steph Ryan MP, Bev McArthur MP and former Police Association boss Phil Edge have told media across Victoria that country roads are a dangerous mess and that lowering speed limits won’t stop crashes.

Lowering speed limits dodges the issue of neglected roads.

Last year, to January 20, four people had died on Victorian roads. This year it’s 16.

That’s not counting injuries and damage to product and vehicles. VicRoads policies failed again. They claim to lead the world in road safety.

That was 50 years ago.

In 2022, they refuse to admit they are wrong on country roads or wire rope barriers.

A comprehensive review of VicRoads’ administration, policies and maintenance of rural roads is long overdue.

Fix VicRoads management to save money. Fix country roads to save lives.

Save the whales

THERE are few sights more awe inspiring than the spectacular acrobatics of the majestic humpback whales as they migrate along the coast to subtropical waters where they mate and give birth, and then back down to Antarctica to feed on krill.

So it was particularly distressing to read of the young whale seen in Antarctica this week tangled up in fishing nets, his dorsal fin missing and nets cutting into his skin. The whale was labouring to swim, and is considered unlikely to survive.

Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear — otherwise known as ‘ghost gear’ —spells catastrophe for marine life. At least 700,000 tonnes of ghost gear are added to our oceans every year, killing and mutilating millions of marine animals— including endangered whales, seals and turtles. Fishing gear kills 300,000 whales and dolphins annually.

If you hate the idea of these magnificent animals being killed, look to your dinner plate. It’s simple: less fishing means less fishing gear—abandoned or otherwise.

Clearly, fishing is hazardous to the environment, being one of the biggest source of plastic in the ocean. But it’s also horrifically cruel.

Commercial fishing kills hundreds of billions of animals worldwide every year—far more than any other industry. Fish are intelligent, complex animals but, when caught, they are impaled, crushed, suffocated, or cut open and gutted, all while conscious. You can’t eat fish and be an environmentalist or a conservationist.

quality of governance or life in Australia, so should not arrogantly assume that they are above debate.

The January 2021 Ipsos poll found that support for a republic had dropped to a pathetic 34 per cent, demonstrating that Australians are not interested in replacing our resoundingly successful and dignified system of constitutional monarchy with a republic that would only create another highly-paid job for a careerist political hack.

Secondly, it is wrong to say that the 1998 Convention failed to adequately consider different republican models. The convention debated parliamentary election, direct election, and the McGarvie model.

When it voted to recommend the parliamentary election model over the other models on offer,as a matter of principle the monarchist delegation abstained from the vote.

As prominent republican delegate to the 1998 Convention, Cardinal George Pell, admitted the next day, the monarchists acted with integrity: “Yesterday the monarchists voted with discipline, integrity and honour. Lloyd Waddy (Australians for Constitutional Monarchy National Convenor) was the very model of a modern major general.

They did not vote tactically. Their virtue brought its own reward. Republican disarray yesterday was our own doing. The republicans know well that to divide is to rule even when the division is self-inflicted.”

Hector Taala: Are they gonna mandate the boosters from now on? Are they gonna mandate the flu shot ... or did we eliminate the flu?

The reality is that interest in a republic continues to evaporate, with young Australians showing the greatest disdain for the idea.

The January 2021 Ipsos poll showed that just 26 per cent of Australians aged 18-26 wanted a republic.

Only the dwindling band of baby boomer leftwing activists from the Whitlam era retain any real interest in a republic. Instead of blaming monarchists for their own political failures, republicans should face up to the reality that nobody is interested in their discredited and pointless proposals for constitutional vandalism.

The Ranch is a place to call home

By LIAM DURKIN

THE sylvan setting of a rural farm is set to benefit patients within the Gippsland Support Services network.

The organisation recently opened ‘The Ranch’ in Hazelwood South - a five acre recreation farm offering a range of activities for people living with disability.

Open Day was held Monday, January 17 and saw no shortage of activities, including face painting, a jumping castle and even a game of backyard cricket.

The farm was previously a residential property, and has been transformed into a modern facility to help give those living with disability an area to get active and feel supported in a naturally inclusive, relaxing environment.

A creative space has been established in the farm shed, where participants can take part in areas such as music, woodwork and arts and craft, while short term accommodation/respite is also available.

Other activities on offer at The Ranch are cooking, bike riding and camping, as well as animal therapy, mindfulness and counselling.

As Jodie Gunsser of The Ranch management team explained, the facility was designed with the thought of moving away from having services solely inside four walls of a physical building.

“What we have found in the past is an office space isn’t desirable, it is about open spaces, having the open space means people can separate themselves if they have behaviours or become overwhelmed with anxiety or autism in a small space, those different degrees of disability can have an impact, hence why we have created this safe space,” she said.

“It is a facility open for participants with a disability to provide therapeutic support, community participation, respite, amongst other things, it has been two years in the making and a lot of planning.

“There is a lot for every individual need about inclusiveness and the open space for our

participants to engage in a variety of activities.”

It is hoped this hands-on approach will assist the some 200 Gippsland Support Services participants in gaining the skills to enjoy a quality of life.

“There are capacity building skills, some people need to have adequate skills and supports to live independently so it is really the individualised approach to meet those people’s needs,” Ms Gunsser said.

“All our staff have different skill sets, so anyone from social workers, certificates in disability, then we also have people with trades, it could be a mechanic, a tradesperson that can then teach participants skill developments … so that versatility and wide range of support staff is what everyone needs in life to develop those skills.”

The Ranch is located at 140 Thomson Road, Hazelwood South and is open seven days a week.

For more information visit gippslandsupportservices.com.au or email info@ gippslandsupportservices.com.au.

Active minds: The Ranch offers a number of creative spaces.

Valley ablaze

Fire fighting forces were balanced on the brink of a major disaster in the Latrobe Valley on Sunday, CFA sources claimed yesterday.

At times during the scorching, gusty day as many as 40 units from the CFA Region 10 assisted the Morwell group with fires, including one burning severely at both ends of the Yallourn Open Cut. The blaze tore through Hernes Oak, with another major fire in the Jeeralang district.

ALP promises one Valley authority

A Labor government will replace the many bodies presently responsible for planning in the Latrobe Valley with a single, unified regional planning body.

Opposition Leader John Cain, in the Valley last Friday with ALP candidate for Narracan, Richard Gubbins, said the creation of a single body would cut out much of the red tape and also provide genuine local participation.

Grant for LV ‘Better Health’ plan

A grant of $225,000 will be used to set up the Latrobe Valley Better Health project, aimed at improving the health of Latrobe Valley residents.

The project will be funded by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation in conjunction with the federal government under the National Better Health program.

Clean water is ‘in the pipeline’

20 YEARS AGO MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2002

From outback Australia to the deserts of the United Arab Emirates, Australian Rules football is growing and one Traralgon man is doing his bit.

Glenn Platt moved to Dubai for work more than four years ago and in his spare time has helped establish an Auskick program that has gone from strength-to-strength.

“We call it Auskick, but our school games have some Under-16 teams and there are some boys and girls that go pretty hard at it, so it’s Auskick and junior AFL now,” he said.

Predictions last year the Latrobe Valley would become home to a new billion dollar coalfield development appear to have hit the target after a Western Australian-based consortium last week submitted a $5 billion bid to the state government to build a new 1000-megawatt coal-fired power station.

The announcement has already generated excitement at the likely employment and social spin-offs for the region.

The proposal is by the recently-formed Australian Power and Energy Consortium is to turn the coal into gas and diesel fuel, and to run a new power station, which would have about half the output of Loy Yang Power.

Valjer on the record

Justin Valjer will break the Latrobe Cricket Club record for the number of first grade games played when he steps out on Saturday against Moe. The current record of 217 first grade games was held by Bruce Dalgleish, while Valjer’s teammate Anthony Bloomfield is just 11 games behind.

Bernie Vizard holds the all-time games record for the club with 457.

Taddy, as he is known to his friends, began his career with the Sharks as a 13-year-old.

He has batted everywhere and scored more than 5000 first grade runs and was named in Latrobe’s Team of the Decade in 2000 and again in 2010.

FUN FACT: An Audi A4 1.8 Turbo was on sale for $43,990 driveaway at Massaro Motors in Morwell.

Flags say it all

A sea of Australian flags filled Kernot Hall in Morwell on Saturday for Latrobe City’s Australia Day award ceremony.

The ceremony was the highlight of a day of celebrations throughout the Latrobe Valley.

Latrobe City Mayor Brendan Jenkins welcomed guests, saying “Australia Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate and reflect on nationhood and what it means to us to be Australian”.

The state government is under renewed pressure to allocate more than $12 million for the construction of two new Morwell primary schools in its next budget.

With a master plan just completed for the ‘Morwell Regeneration Project’, local leaders have emphasised the urgency of addressing a situation which currently sees a new, multi-million dollar school hall sitting on the former Kurnai College school site.

The site has long been earmarked by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development for a new Morwell primary school, combining Commercial Road and Tobruk St primary schools.

HIA EASTERN VICTORIA REGIONAL AWARDS

Record-breaking year for Virtue Homes “It has been probably one of the most challenging years, with materials and trade shortages, people’s health, and just a lot of hurdles,” he said.

Virtue Homes enjoyed a recordbreaking year on the award front in 2021.

The Traralgon-based company scored a whopping 12 Housing Industry Association (HIA) Eastern Victoria Regional Awards in December.

“To take away some awards really did help put a positive spin on it.”

That success was topped when Virtue Homes also secured the HIA Victoria Display Home of the Year award.

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

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

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

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

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

The judges noted elements in the award-winning homes such as hand-poured concrete basins and a hand-laid stone open fireplace.

“Some clients research their own materials and we are happy to try things we haven’t tried before.”

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

Mr Nicola told The Express winning numerous awards last year meant a great deal for his team, especially given what a difficult year 2021 was for the industry.

The HIA awards ceremony was affected by the pandemic, however, Virtue Homes team didn’t let this put a dampener on their success.

“Normally we go to the awards in person, but because of COVID we didn’t. They held them online.

We had a small gathering and watched it live,” Mr Nicola said.

“We definitely didn’t think we’d win that many, that’s for sure.

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

Congratulations to

Virtue Homes

on winning twelve HIA Awards.

HIA EASTERN VICTORIA REGIONAL AWARDS

Latrobe Valley Building Services seals award success

Latrobe Valley Building Service (LVBS) won a Housing Industry Association (HIA) Eastern Victoria Regional Award for their renovation of a Traralgon property.

LVBS director Andrew Brady was very happy about the company’s big win.

“Our team was very humbled to win the award and extremely thankful to our clients for giving us the opportunity to complete such an amazing project,” he said.

LVBS were praised by HIA judges for the well-considered layout of the home, and its light and airy feel.

“This particular project was exciting for our team to build as it doubled the size of the existing home by adding a secondary storey extension on top as well as renovating the existing home below,” Mr Brady said.

Mr Brady said his team enjoys projects like this and it challenges them to think differently and be versatile. ‘’All our projects are customised to suit our clients needs, no two jobs are ever the same and we really like that as the versatility continually challenges our team to adapt to different ways of building,” he said.

2021 HIA EASTERN VICTORIA RENOVATION/ADDITION PROJECT UP TO $500,001 Mr Brady also attributed the team’s award success to their extensive experience in the field.

“Having over 20 years’ experience in the building industry myself, as well as having an experienced management team that have worked together for over 10 years plays a big part in all our projects being successful,” Mr Brady said.

“2021 was a challenging year for the building industry, making this result even more pleasing for our team.”

Pivotal: Quality rail infrastructure is needed in regional Australia as more people move into centres such as Latrobe City. file photograph

Growth area: Latrobe Regional Airport has been touted as a potential option for commercial aviation traffic within the next 20 years. file photograph

Investment in regional areas is key

By STEFAN BRADLEY

REGIONAL Capitals Australia (RCA) is calling for more investment into growing regional communities in the areas of road and air connections, city and job building funds, telecommunications, and arts and culture as more Australians are moving out of metropolitan cities.

RCA represents 51 larger regional councils around Australia and is chaired by Councillor Daniel Moloney, with Latrobe City Council being one of the regional capital cities he engages with.

Cr Moloney explained that RCA generally classifies a regional council as a “regional capital city” based on population size.

“A regional capital city usually has at least 50,000 people, and serves a few other shires around it to share services,” Cr Moloney said.

“The bigger council would share things like recycling, animal shelters and health services with the smaller ones.

“Latrobe City Council would work with Baw Baw and Wellington, with each council using each other’s services.”

Even though Wellington Shire is not considered a regional capital city, RCA still works with them as they share with Latrobe City.

“Latrobe knows they’re not part of a bubble, they’re part of a larger region,” he said.

“You’d probably find that people in Sale or Bairnsdale would quite likely use health services in Traralgon as they have good train connections and a big concentration of people.”

Cr Moloney believes the trend of Gippsland residents moving to Melbourne has changed.

“Previously you’d have seen a lot of teenagers and young people leaving the regions for Melbourne for education and staying there,” Cr Moloney said.

“Now we’re seeing the reverse.

“We’re actually seeing an exodus from the capital cities into the regions.”

The pandemic has been a big instigator of that, but not the entire story.

“We’ve had a situation over the last 30 or 40 years where there’s been heavy investment in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in particular”, Cr Moloney said.

“And those cities have grown in population to a point where many people are starting to see them as unliveable.”

Cr Moloney, who moved from Ballarat to

CR DANIEL MOLONEY Melbourne, and eventually back to Ballarat, said that traffic was a massive frustration for him.

“Melbourne’s traffic was just too painful in the sense that I was spending an hour or two in the car commuting,” he said.

Cr Moloney said about a decade ago, workers in Gippsland increasingly began commuting to their Melbourne job on the V/Line service rather than moving to the city.

“It would take an hour, maybe up to two hours from Warragul or Traralgon, but that commute would be the same on the road in Melbourne anyway,” he said.

During the pandemic, work and personal situations changed considerably and many people discovered the likes of Zoom and Microsoft Teams with faster speeds on the National Broadband Network, which meant regional staff no longer needed to commute to the CBD office in Melbourne, and new remote job opportunities came up.

“It means you can live in Traralgon, Sale, Lakes Entrance, Bairnsdale, or anywhere around Australia,” Cr Moloney said.

“You can enjoy the beautiful regional Gippsland lifestyle that most people only get to experience as tourists, but that can be your daily life and you can still have a professional job.

“Just Zoom into the office meetings.”

Cr Moloney said regional cities are facing issues with mobile reception and slow Internet connections.

“These are things that government policy can drive and put more investment into,” he said.

“Mass migration into the regions needs to be supported by the right telecommunications infrastructure, so hopefully we see something come out of that in the federal budget.

“We need people to be confident that they’re not gonna drop out of a team meeting randomly thanks to poor telecommunications if they move away from Melbourne.”

To encourage Melburnians to move to regional areas like Gippsland, a number of key things should be in place, including work opportunities, education, health, housing and transport.

“There needs to obviously be a good job to go to,” Cr Moloney said, “and if that job doesn’t exist, than the move won’t even be on the radar.

“Good education is especially important for families and kids, along with a strong health system and accessible housing.

“Get all of those things done well and you can become a thriving community.

“There’s places like Latrobe City and Wellington that do incredible things with limited budgets, but they don’t run the healthcare and education system.

“We need to see ongoing improvements to our health systems, and not just during the pandemic with bigger hospitals and satellite hospitals.”

Cr Moloney said that a lack of transport options was a key barrier stopping people from moving to the area.

“I know there are ongoing upgrades to the Gippsland Rail Line, but it needs to be progressively improved to reduce travel times and make it more attractive to those who want to live in the regions,” he said.

“Likewise, road upgrades, or improve access to the Latrobe Regional Airport, which is getting more traffic over time.

“It’s not a commuter hub at the moment, but the time and distance may become viable in the future in the next 10 or 20 years. It’s working in Wagga Wagga, with the Rex Airline connections.”

Cr Moloney wants more funding for arts and culture in regional capital cities.

“It’s about making regional areas attractive on an ongoing basis,” he said.

“We have great art galleries and theatres, but regional tours costs money.

“Most councils will stage a couple of festivals or events throughout the calendar year, but having an improved cultural experience helps to be the icing on the cake when someone makes that decision to move to a regional area.

“It’s not just about attracting people to move here, it’s also about giving the regional people that full cultural immersive experience they shouldn’t have to go to Melbourne for.

“You shouldn’t have to go to Melbourne to see a festival or the best art in the world.”

Cr Moloney said international migration would be the key to address the troubled tourism, retail, events and hospitality industries, as well as the higher education sector.

“International migration has mainly been led by students,” he said.

Cr Moloney said that universities are struggling at this time, including Federation University in Churchill, which has been “operating with one arm behind its back during the last couple of years because of the pandemic where it hasn’t had that pipeline of international students coming in”.

“International students are an interesting market,” he said.

“They get to experience regional life, hopefully fall in love with the place they’re studying, get to visit the regions around them and then start to provide many of the professional services and jobs that have broader economic benefits to Gippsland towns.”

Cr Moloney said the lack of international students has had a negative effect on the retail and hospitality sectors.

“Pretty much every town in Victoria has been having trouble manning the ship in pubs, restaurants and cafes, and much of that workforce was taken up by students, especially during the peak of the tourism periods,” he said.

“While it’s a populist opinion to say we should cut back on migration, we’ve seen now what that’s done over the last couple of years is slow the growth opportunities for regional cities and it hurts many businesses in the process as well.”

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore

January 24 - January 30, 2022 your professional and personal relationships, as retrograde Venus highlights your struggle to achieve ongoing balance at work and home.

With Jupiter journeying through your spirituality zone, have the confidence to follow your intuition and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice. As this week’s birthday great Mozart declared, “I pay no attention to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”

Taurus This week looks rather chaotic, as retro Mercury and retro Venus upset your previous plans. So expect the unexpected – especially involving work and/or travel. It’s time to banish boredom and extend yourself in challenging new directions. With adventurous Jupiter and magical Neptune activating your hopes and wishes zone, your mantra is from birthday great Oprah Winfrey: “The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”

GGemini From Wednesday onwards,

Mercury (your ruling planet) reverses through your money, shared resources, trust and research zones. So slow down and delay making important financial decisions until after February 4. Plus check (and re-check) any information you receive thoroughly. And avoid blurting out something inappropriate that unintentionally hurts other people. Remember, words are powerful weapons so make sure you use them wisely.

Cancer You’re longing for some peace

and quiet but it won’t happen this week, as six planets (the Sun, Saturn, fiery Mars, powerful Pluto, retro Venus and retro Mercury) complicate personal relationships. So don’t feel slighted if someone shocks you, ignores you, or comes on too strong and is super demanding.

Just take it in your Crab stride! A friend or lover from the past could also re-enter your life … but do you really want to travel down that bumpy road again?

Leo Leos love to be leaders. But this week

you need to ask yourself, “Am I are leading others (with passion and purpose) or just bossing them around?” If you power ahead without considering others, then you’ll just create unnecessary angst. So strive to accommodate the needs of those around you. When it comes to a close friend or work colleague, take the time to walk a mile in their shoes. Then you’ll have some understanding of what they’re going through.

Virgo g The focus is on improving

partnnerships (whether of the romantic, platonic or business variety) as you manage relationships with extra tact and diplomacy. It’s time to envision your dreams for the future, formulate your goals, and consolidate any travel plans you have in the pipeline. But be adaptable, Virgo!

It’s important to realise that current situations are in a state of flux, and the plans you make now will need to be significantly altered at a later date.

Libra Librans possess a talent for procrastination, which is made worse by Mercury and Venus being retrograde. If you have a passion that you want to pursue (or a decision that needs to be made) then resist being distracted by other people’s agendas. Decisive action is best taken from Saturday onwards, when Venus (your patron planet) finally moves forwards. As birthday great Oprah Winfrey observes: “Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”

Scorpio Are you experiencing problems

with a loved one? If you keep doing what you’re doing, then you’ll just keep getting what you’re getting! The Sun, Mars, Saturn, Pluto, retrograde Mercury and retrograde Venus are all activating your family zones so it’s time to make the first tentative moves towards reconciliation.

Yep … when it comes to difficult relatives and complicated domestic matters, the Scorpio lesson for this week is ‘Forgiveness’.

Sagittarius g The planets stir up

troubble (and agitate obsessions) in your communication zone. So someone could unsettle you by passing on scandalous second-hand news. If you’re a smart Sagittarian then you’ll steer clear of garrulous gossip, especially online.

Plus avoid over-reacting when a frustrated family member pushes your emotional buttons. With Mars moving into your money zone on Monday, be proactive about finding new ways to boost your bank balance.

Capricorn p You’ve got so many serious respoonsibilities, commitments and must-do-tasks that the last thing you need is a financial drama.

But that’s what you could end up with, as Saturn and retrograde Mercury shake up your money zone. Saturn (your patron planet) encourages you to be cautious and conservative in the way you spend cash and communicate with other people. So – when it comes to finances and business matters – slow and steadyy wins the race this week!

Aquarius q The Sun and Saturn are in Aquuarius, and Mercury reverses through your sign until Wednesday. So it will be a stop/ start kind of week. Your impulsive side will be switched on one minute, only to be disrupted or disappointed the next. Don’t worry if your spontaneous approach results in messy mistakes along the way. In the words of French writer Colette (who was born on January 28, 1873): “You will do foolish things but do them with enthusiasm.”

Blooming partnership grows the community

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

TRARALGON Centre Plaza (TCP) have partnered with the Rotary Club of Traralgon to get their gardening done.

In a bid to support the community, TCP have contracted TRC to carry out their gardening maintenance.

Members of the club will carry out gardening when required, and will be paid for their hard work through donations to the Rotary club.

This will allow them to raise vital money for various important projects in the community.

“At Traralgon Centre Plaza we are all about supporting the local community through our LOCALisation strategy. This includes contracting locally,” TCP marketing manager Adele Nardino said.

“Traralgon Rotary will be paid for their time which will go towards worthwhile projects that are needed in our community.”

Last Tuesday, members of the club got together

to neaten up the gardens and collect any stray rubbish.

Janne Speirs, a member of Traralgon Rotary Club, is part of the partnership and said it is a fantastic way for the Rotary Club to assist the community and raise funds for projects.

“Especially in these COVID days, it’s something little that we can be doing that’s assisting with our project budget,” she said.

Ms Speirs said that working with TCP has given the club the opportunity to achieve some of their environmentally focused goals.

“One of the things Rotary International has just brought in is what we call an environment area focus… a lot of rotary clubs and districts across the world are trying to really do things that bring in that environmental slant,” Ms Speirs said.

“In a way this is part of that ... keeping Traralgon looking attractive, and picking up the small amount of rubbish – we were actually surprised a how little rubbish there was.”

Pisces If you are responsible and

well-informed, then it will pay off further down the track. But don’t put your head in the sand and avoid facing problems Pisces! With Jupiter transiting through your sign (which only happens every 12 years) reach out to inspiring friends and influential colleagues who are going places, as you network up a storm. Your motto is from this week’s birthday great Oprah Winfrey: “Surround yourself with people who are going to lift you higher.”

Federation University prepares to welcome raft of new students FEDERATION University’s Gippsland campus is gearing up for 2022.

A total of 232 students received offers from Federation University in the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) round of offers.

The most popular programs for students in 2022 at the Gippsland campus were Nursing, Education, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy.

Across all Federation University campuses, Criminology, Biomedical Science, Wildlife Science and Psychological Science were also very popular choices this year.

Federation University vice-chancellor and president, Professor Duncan Bentley said that the events of the last two years have had an impact on 2022 enrolments.

“The current Year 12 graduates have competed their entire two years of VCE in the COVID-19 pandemic with long periods studying from home, which has made it difficult for some students to look beyond the pandemic and consider postsecondary school study,” he said.

“We know this has impacted enrolments over the past two years and we have put extra support in place to help incoming students, which has helped us maintain steady enrolments this year.”

Professor Bentley said the university is planning to change the way they operate to ensure the best outcomes for students.

“We are rolling out a plan to lock in future growth by modernising our operations and making strategic investments; taking advantage of our position as a regional university,” he explained.

“We are transforming the way that we operate to ensure our courses and programs align with industry needs so we can provide a pipeline of job ready graduates to work in our regions.”

Churchill local and 2021 Kurnai College Year 12 graduate Riley Stevens is starting a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering (Honours) at Federation this year.

“Fed Uni was my top preference … the idea of designing and construction have always interested me, and it has been that way ever since I was a kid,” Riley said.

Riley explained that Federations proximity to his

Federation University beckons: Riley Stevens is beginning a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering this year. photograph supplied current residence and support system was one of the reasons he selected the course.

“I thought Fed Uni, being closer, was probably the better option for me.

“It’s just easier … someone from school is also doing Civil Engineering with me. He was offered RMIT as well, but the convenience of having it local was a thing for him too.”

Riley heard about the course when Federation visited his school.

“We had a kind of mini open day, where all the Universities came to us. They had information on all their courses and what they offered… and that’s how I found out about the Fed Uni course,” he said.

Riley is excited to commence Civil Engineering in 2022.

Most popular baby names in 2021 revealed THE most popular baby names in Victoria for 2021 have been announced.

Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes revealed the Registry of Births, Death and Marriages top 100 baby names earlier this month.

Charlotte proved the most popular for baby girls, while Oliver maintained it’s position on the top of the boys list.

This is the eighth year Oliver has come out on top, with a whopping 4197 babies given the name during during it’s reign.

Under Oliver came Noah, Jack and Charlie, while Olivia Olivia, Isla, Amelia and Mia ranked just below Charlotte.

Although Oliver’s eight-year streak has proven impressive, it has not reached the popularity that John maintained for a total of 23 years in the 1900s.

Margaret was once an even more popular name than John - it sat atop the girls’ list for 24 years.

New additions to the top 100 are girl names Zoe and Willow, while the boys’ list saw no newcomers.

In 2021, 76,410 births were registered in Victoria, up from 74,620 in 2020.

“Picking a baby name can be an overwhelming time – hopefully these top 100 name lists provide some inspiration,” Ms Symes said.

“We’ve seen another challenging year to be a parent – especially of a newborn.

I wish all parents the very best as they welcome a happy new addition to their families.”

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

DEATH IN PARADISE ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

VERA ABC TV, Sunday, 8.40pm

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

The clever thing about this show is the way the creators can cycle through lead actors relatively routinely after their character’s stint on the remote Caribbean island of Saint Marie is done. The regular refresh brings potential for new fans as the show is revamped.

Now in its 10th season (and fourth detective inspector), the team – now led by DI Neville (Ralf Little, pictured) – work to solve the disproportionate amount of murder and mayhem that seems to plague this idyllic island. Tonight, the team is baffled when an archaeologist is poisoned during a dig and no evidence is uncovered to prove how it was done.

Traditionally wearing her trusty bucket hat and weathered trench coat, DCI Vera Stanhope (played with wisecracking aplomb by the awardwinning Brenda Blethyn, pictured) is an entertainingly original and multifaceted character. Based on the books by crime writer Ann Cleeves, Vera returns for its 11th season with arguably its best crime-ridden yarn yet. In the first of the four-episode run, it’s a case of quality of quantity in this British murder-mystery. Tonight, in “Witness”, Vera untangles the mystery of a murdered local builder, who was found beaten to death the day before he was due to testify in court on a case involving a local sportsman accused of assault.

Here we go again with the ninth season of this addictive charade involving pretend marriages, fame-hungry and/or plastic surgeryobsessed contestants and a highly optimistic chance at love. In past seasons, there have been a whirlwind of fights, affairs, outbursts and jawdropping behaviour overshadowing any tales of everlasting love, and that’s what makes Married At First Sight such a foamy and foolish cocktail; it’s frankly hard to resist.

Guided by relationship “experts” John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla (pictured), the brides and grooms include DJ Jack Millar, Melbourne florist Jessica Seracino and personal trainer Andrew Davis.

OUTBACK RINGER ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm

Wild animals, majestic landscapes, the shadow of ever-present danger and a bunch of salt-of-the-earth people who take it all in their stride; that’s the backbone of this fly-on-the-wall series shot in the Northern Territory. Returning with season two, Outback Ringer follows the brave folk who hunt and capture feral bulls and buffalo for money. Last season, the drought made going tough, with emaciated animals, scorched earth and dwindling fortunes.

This time the families, including bull-catching wife and mum Liz Cook (pictured), are faced with huge animals after a bumper season of rain. The land is lush, and so is the potential windfall.

Plenty of love for Gippsland on new list of the world’s travel destinations GIPPSLAND has ranked 17 in The 100 Most Loved Destinations Around the World for 2021.

The fresh data, released by the Tourism Sentiment Index, was compiled by studying more than 1.6 billion online conversations and content pieces around the globe.

This is the first time the list has been created, and Destination Gippsland chief executive officer Terry Robinson said the placement is a credit to Gippsland’s tourism industry.

Changes in effect: Latrobe Regional Hospital is among a number across the state to enter a Pandemic Code Brown.

“As a visitor destination, Gippsland offers the perfect mix of world-class, nature-based and outdoor experiences supported by a growing food and drink offering and tourism operators who are really invested in ensuring the guests enjoy their stay,” Mr Robinson said.

LRH adopts Code Brown measures

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LATROBE Regional Hospital is among a number across the state to enter a Pandemic Code Brown.

Under the code, changes in hospital operations may be implemented, such as configuring services to free up more staff, delivery of outpatient services outside the hospital, and rapid offload of ambulance patients at emergency departments to get paramedics back on the road as quickly as possible.

Staff may also be redeployed to areas with the highest clinical priority.

Each hospital has individual Code Brown plans, which are expected remain in place for four to six weeks.

The Code Brown came into effect at 12pm on Wednesday, January 19.

Health Minister James Merlino said these changes are intended to help hospitals, Ambulance

Victoria, and other healthcare services cope with overwhelming demand caused by the rapid increase of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

“Our hardworking health workers on the frontline are caring for record numbers of coronavirus patients every day – this is the best way to ensure our hospitals can continue to safely care for those that need it most,” Mr Merlino said.

“Our health services will have to make some hard decisions over the next few weeks to manage increasing demand and I thank every single one of them for making the tough calls necessary to help as many Victorians as they can.”

LRH chief executive officer Don McRae said the Pandemic Code Brown will allow feasible measures to be applied to LRH, and will enable the hospital to continue to response to escalating patient numbers – not just patients with COVID-19.

“LRH has been following a ‘Code Brown’ plan

“To rank so highly on a global scale is really a credit to Gippsland’s tourism industry, who have gone above and beyond during these difficult times to ensure the best experience for visitors.

for some weeks to give us additional capacity and resources to care for the community,” he said.

“This has meant calling staff back from leave or redeploying staff. LRH has also changed bed numbers and the structure of some inpatient units to cater for an influx of patients “Our community can help relieve some of the pressure on LRH by considering whether their presentation to the Emergency Department is really necessary.

“I appreciate the concern some people may have if they test positive to COVID-19 but in most cases, symptoms such as fatigue, a cough, runny nose or aches and pains may be managed easily at home.”

Mr McRae said the hospital still encourages people with severe symptoms, illnesses or injuries to come to the emergency department.

“However I really want our community to understand our bed numbers, resources and staff are stretched to the limit,” he added.

“Destination Gippsland initiatives such as the Visit Gippsland website, Eat Drink Gippsland guide and marketing promotions throughout the year play a part in attracting visitors – but it is the fantastic customer service of our industry that keeps them coming back.”

Six other Australia destinations ranked even higher than Gippsland.

The Sunshine Coast in Queensland took out first place, and the Whitsundays, also in Queensland, were not too far behind in second place.

“This funding will help recoup costs and prepare for another year of agricultural shows and events.”

trobe’s crime rate still ranks high r parts of the state. as the second highest number ts in Victoria, topped only by hird highest ‘Recorded Offences’, d Ararat. he region’s statistics reveals a 4.8 rimes against a person’. Notable gory are ‘Sexual Offences’ and

‘Stalking, Harassment and Threatening Behaviour’.

In 48.8 per cent of recorded Criminal Incidents charges were laid, while 28.5 per cent remained unsolved.

Morwell and Traralgon provided the highest Criminal Incidents in Latrobe City, followed by Moe, Newborough and Churchill.

Despite this, both Morwell and Traralgon’s Criminal Incidents have decreased from the year prior.

Morwell had a 19.23 per cent decrease, while Traralgon saw a total decrease of 12.23 per cent.

This data follows trends seen across the entire state throughout 2021, with the total Recorded Offences in Victoria dropping by 9.8 per cent.

Latrobe Valley Superintendent Tracie McDonald said that the pandemic did have an impact on the number of Criminal Incidents in Latrobe.

“While it’s encouraging to see a drop in the overall number of criminal incidents in Latrobe, we know this is largely due to strict stay-at-home restrictions that were in place throughout the year,” she said “As we continue to emerge from the pandemic in 2022, we would expect to see an increase in criminal activity as people have more freedom to move around.”

Supt McDonald said maintaining a highly visible police presence is a priority that will continue for Latrobe Valley police, with road safety also being a key focus across the region in 2022.

“We will continue to maintain a strong presence across the region including highly visible police patrols in busy community locations, such as shopping centres and transport hubs,” she said.

Fresh start for local community organisation

Community champions: CoAbility and Gippsland Carers Association provide a vital service to the Gippsland community.

IN 1997, a group of Gippsland families noted a gap in the support of people who are supporting others.

Out of this, Gippsland Carers Association (GCA) Inc was born.

For the next 24 years, GCA worked tirelessly to support and advocate for the families of Gippslanders living with a disability.

Under the leadership of president and advocate Jean Tops, GCA became the voice for families in their community and, at times, on the steps of parliament.

In recent years, following the passing of Ms Tops and the cessation of state and federal funding for the group, the board was forced to concede that 2021 would likely be the end of Gippsland Carers Association and preparations had begun to wind the organisation down to close their doors forever.

It was at this point that then-vice-president (and

Latrobe City Councillor), Dale Harriman began to make calls to see if anyone in the community could help.

“Knowing the history of Gippsland Carers and the number of people that have been helped over the years; and with people now needing help to navigate the NDIS, I thought it was important to leave no stone unturned when finding help to resurrect the organisation,” Cr Harriman said.

That help came in the form of CoAbility, a local NDIS Support Coordination company.

“Most coordinators at CoAbility had worked with Gippsland Carers Association at one time or another,” CoAbility’s Community Program Development Coordinator Ron D’Arcy said.

“The NDIS is there to provide supports to a person living with a disability. However, it can’t do everything. There are still massive gaps when it comes to ensuring that the families of participants

are supported. When we were approached by Cr Harriman, we really didn’t need to think too hard.

This service is vital to Gippsland.”

And so, on Thursday, December 16, 2021, a combined team of workers (comprising of volunteers from GCA, CoAbility, Maxima JobLink, Latrobe Valley Enterprises and Latrobe community members) packed up ‘The Carers Place’ in George Street, Morwell and moved the entire organisation into the Offices of CoAbility.

This move means no more burden of rent or utilities for GCA and the opportunity to move to a much larger premises with CoAbility further into 2022.

“This move benefits both groups,” CoAbility regional manager Amber Ericksen said.

“Gippsland Carers Association will have quick access to NDIS consultation for their clients, we (CoAbility) can find support for the families of our

One location: Gippsland Carers Association Inc and CoAbility are located at 215 Princes Drive in Morwell. photographs supplied participants and Gippsland will continue to have access to a community organisation who has spent decades advocating for them.”

Gippsland Carers Association Inc and CoAbility are now both located at 215 Princes Drive, Morwell.

Newborough wins a thriller BOWLS STRZELECKI NORTH SATURDAY PENNANT

By MICHAEL HOLROYD

THE second round of matches commenced with the fixtures of the first seven rounds reversed.

Round 1 was played in overcast conditions, the reverse of Round 8 on a warm sunny day.

DIVISION 1 REIGNING premier Newborough welcomed Traralgon RSL and were keen to make amends for their early season loss at Traralgon RSL despite missing three players - two skippers Kevin Lovett and Nosha Michaels, along with third Scott Jones.

Alan Grubb and his rink of Josh Kennedy, Tony Knipping and Ryan Marston laid the foundation for a Newborough win with a 37-15 victory over Beau Williamson and his rink of Ian Hartley, Titch Hore and Greg McRonald which was a reverse of round 1 when Williamson had a big win.

Tommy Lodge and his rink of Barry Daley, Rod Lewis and John Backman salvaged a 22-all draw with Ross Sizeland and his team of George Cargill, Ross McKenzie and Terry Hunter with Lodge starting the last end with the score 96-97 in Traralgon RSL’s favour before Lodge was satisfied with three shots on the end and an overall win despite having the opportunity of gaining one more shot and a rink win. Common sense prevailed and Lodge accepted the draw on this rink rather than face the possibility of changing the lead and giving RSL the win.

Morice Gardiner and his RSL rink of Paul Mattters, Dave Morley and Max Aumann won 31-20 over Neale Houston and his rink of Brian Carpenter, Michael Weatherall and Craig Thornton.

The other winning Traralgon RSL rink was Alan Kanavan and his team of Dale Wilson, Peter Barnes and Kevin Durwood who defeated George Lambos and his rink of Bob Goldie, John Arnold and Jo-Anne Michaels 29-20.

Newborough 13-99 defeated Traralgon RSL 5-97 Traralgon welcomed Moe where Vin McIlwain and his rink of Shane Chapman, Abe Roeder and Chris Ward won 36-18 over Steve Pallot and his rink of Ian Caines, Dave Mander and Michael Smogavec.

Matt Ferrari and his team of Kirsty Van den Hoff, Kevin Enguell and Ian Kirkup won 27-15 over Sandy Caines and his rink of Paul Louis Read, Bob Rennie and Barry Hawkett.

James Scullin and his rink of Ron Sherlock, Bill Kirby and Pat Trewin had a 27-14 win over Stuart Caines and his rink of Les Brown, Jan Rudy and Ted Kuklinsky.

The lone winning rink for Moe was Jayde Leech and his team of Lachlan Sim, Greg King and Banger Harvey who defeated Phil Mustoe and his rink of Chris Thomas, Ian Hilsley and Maurie Sutcliffe 29-24.

Traralgon 16-114 defeated Moe 2-76 Drouin welcomed Trafalgar with the home team looking to turn around the big defeat it suffered in Round 1.

In a very tight match fortune favoured the visitors recording a one shot victory with Ian Miles and his rink of Heather Taylor, Peter Rosenboom and Tim Anderson defeating Mark Atkinson and his rink of David McIlfatrick, Jan Aubrey and John Leighton 24-18. Tim Fraser and his rink of Col Carmichael, Ian Riley and Ken Capper won 32-19 over Sheryl Atkinson and her rink of Graeme Aubrey, Maureen Leighton and Mick Fleming.

For the home team Toby Wallace and his rink of Denise Hamilton, Arthur Moore and Dale Hendrick had a 33-16 win over Darren Kane and his rink of Sean Tatterson, Sue Robinson and Graham Hill. Samantha Atkinson and her rink of Steve Barr, David Tayles and Les Firth defeated Paul Dawson and his rink of Ed Davies, Frank Farrugia and Peter Jonas 24-23 leaving Trafalgar the winner by one shot.

Trafalgar 14-95 defeated Drouin 4-94 Warragul, needing a win to climb the ladder, made short work of Morwell Club. Dave Smith and his rink of John Vickerman, Jim Power and Pat Hammond won 24-17 over Rod Smith with his team of Michael Skinner, Vaughan Reimers and Dave Stevens.

Matt Schreyer and his rink of David Alderman, Paul Simmons and Noel Reichstein won 26-14 over Nobby Noblett and his rink of Leanne Broadbent, Duncan Hanlon and John Leicester.

Andrew Glover and his rink of Des Stephens, Terry Sullivan and Janette Gallasch won 29-17 over Brett Harle and his team of Alan Campbell, Jo Leslie and Tara Harle.

The lone Morwell Club winning rink was Glenn Trembath and his rink of David Patience, David Broadbent and Wayne Arnold who defeated Graeme Davis and his rink of Ken Landman, Bill Clappers and Peter Gallasch 21-20.

Warragul 16-99 defeated Morwell Club 2-69 DIVISION 2 MORWELL welcomed a Longwarry side

eager to upset the only team with seven wins for the season.

GREYHOUNDS

By GERARD GUTHRIE

–

COUNTRY cups king Ferdinand Boy will take aim at a remarkable fourth title in the Group 2 SEN Track Traralgon Cup (395m) tonight after returning to his brilliant best in Friday night’s heats.

Eight ‘winner-take-all’ heats were conducted on the world-first ‘J-curve’ track, which hosted its first official race meeting last Saturday, with Ferdinand Boy, which won the Ballarat, Healesville and Shepparton Cups in 2021, claiming heat three in 21.65sec.

Ferdinand Boy was the second leg of a heat double for David Geall, after Healesville Cup placegetter Hill Top Jonah won the opening heat in 21.77sec.

Other highlights from Friday night’s Cup heats included: Bendigo Cup placegetter and track record holder Typhoon Sammy was easily the fastest heat winner, setting the time standard in the final heat with an electrifying 21.53s performance, his 22nd win from 33 starts. Trainer Jason Thompson’s wife Seona prepared the most recent Traralgon Cup winner, Poke The Bear, in 2018.

Andrea Dailly also claimed a heat double, courtesy of Mebourne Cup runner-up Lala Kiwi running 21.61sec and Indy Honey 21.85sec.

Dailly won the 2015 Traralgon Cup with the great Fernando Bale.

NSW raider More Sauce, a two-time G2 runner-up in his home state in the Black Top and Maitland Cup for owner/trainer/breeder Michelle Lill, will try to emulate his litter brother Robbie Rotten, winner of the recent G2 Warragul Cup, after a 21.66sec heat success.

It comes after a $6 million upgrade of the Traralgon facility, which has delivered a state of art J-curve track along with major upgrades to the club’s facilities including new outdoor decking and a massive semaphore screen.

Greyhound Racing Victoria’s (GRV) chair Peita Duncan said the new Traralgon track sets a benchmark for greyhound racing worldwide.

“This is the biggest project undertaken by Victorian greyhound racing in decades, using the work of Professor David Eager and his University of Technology Sydney team to create the safest possible greyhound racing environment,” Ms Duncan said.

“I would like to thank the local government who alongside GRV funded the $6 million project which has seen us use local companies all the way, to build a truly outstanding venue that maximises safety while also showcasing all the excitement of the sport.

“It is also important to thank the Traralgon Greyhound Racing Club, who have put in countless hours to ensure this is a success.”

The Traralgon Cup night meeting is timed to start from 6pm.

Moe hosts family fun day HORSE RACING

By LIAM DURKIN

THERE was something for the whole family at Moe Racing Club on Tuesday, January 18, as the club hosted a Kids Day Out meeting.

With school holidays still on, parents packed the picnic basket for a day at the races.

Families enjoyed a relaxing time on the lawn at Moe Racing Club, while kids exerted plenty of energy taking part in a number of sports and games such as soccer, cricket and totem tennis.

Face painting, colouring in and the petty zoo were also popular attractions, as was the ice cream van, enjoyed by kids and parents alike.

Amid all this fun it was easy to forget there was actually racing going on.

Moe hosted an eight-race day card, with calm and mild weather making for idyllic conditions.

The track was rated a Good 4 throughout the meeting, which was dominated by Cranbourne runners.

Mr Blackwood won the opening race, the Ian Grant’s Caravans Maiden Plate over 2400 metres, blitzing the field in the run to the post, almost winning by five lengths for Cranbourne trainer Cindy Alderson.

Trafalgar jockey Jason Maskiell rode Doom Star to second in this race, in what was the five-year old geldings second placing in as many starts since returning from a three week freshen.

The Bottlemart Moe 3YO Maiden Plate (1200m) returned an incredibly tight finish.

A photo was needed to determine the winner between Chalonne Princess, Tauty and Piquancy, as the trio could not be split to the naked eye.

Chalonne Princess was coming seventh with 400m to go, and kicked late to steam alongside Tauty and Piquancy as the photo was taken.

The filly scrapped in on the outside for Ben and JD Hayes of Euroa, nudging out pre-race favourites Tauty ($3.20) and Piquancy ($3.70).

In the Moe Optical 4YO+ Maiden Plate (1200m), Nottaris proved too strong, winning by 1.5L for Mornington trainer Cliff Brown.

The result would have reaffirmed Brown’s strategy with the gelding, as it was its first run after being spelled for 15 weeks.

The Nextra Moe Maiden Plate (1000m) saw another tight finish.

Tea Master lunged just before the post to edge out Vaettir, getting a win for Mornington trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman.

Poleaxed won the RMBL Investments Rising Stars BM58 Handicap (1600m).

The six year-old gelding got home by 1.75L from Rosenstrasse, which made up solid ground after commencing awkwardly.

Poleaxed, trained at Cranbourne by Ken and Kasey Keys, led at both the 800m and 400m mark, although it was discovered to have lost its off fore plate after the race.

Too tight to call: Hardly anything separated first from third in the Race 2 Bottlemart Moe 3YO Maiden Plate. Chalonne Princess (number 6) won in a photo finish.

Colour: Moe’s Christine Harris was of many who got their face painted at Kids Day Out. The S&S Equipment Hire BM58 Handicap (2400m) saw Artillery Force have its nose in front from a bunched field right at the death.

Less than a length separated the top four horses, with second place Sassoon so very nearly making punters jump for joy as it went into the race at $26.

Artillery Force and Sassoon were locked in a twoway battle for the lead for most of the way down the straight, but it was the former who prevailed.

It was back-to-back wins for the John Leek Junior trained Cranbourne gelding, following victory at Stony Creek in a 2100m run on January 4.

Flair: Showing their creative skills at Moe Racing Club’s Kids Day Out meeting are Zaria, Xanthe and Aliran Dalton from Warragul, Caleb and Anabel Johnson of Tyers and Mason, Isabelle and John Kespear of Glengarry West, along with Kelly Sports manager Craig Pusser.

Success: Jockey Ethan Brown rides Mr Blackwood into the mounting yard after winning the opening race at Moe Racing Club.

The penultimate race secured a double for the Freedman stable, with Titans winning the Ladbroke It! Class 2 Handicap (1100m).

The three-year-old gelding scrapped in by a nose against Magnum Bullet after controlling most of the race, coming third at the 800m mark and second with 400m to go.

Cranbourne trainer Robbie Griffiths finished the meeting with Halvoya winning in the Local Cups Day 20th February BM58 Handicap (1200m).

Halvoya ran well to win while two runs back, seeing out challenges from New Zealand galloper Mighty Feat and stablemate Riverdance Lad. Freedman Racing representative Jake Costas said it was pleasing to get a double.

“Definitely makes the trip worthwhile out here to Moe,” he told Racing.com.

“Both horses dug in deep and it was good to get the win.

“Titans chased a hot speed at Moonee Valley two starts back and just at Flemington probably didn’t handle the straight, he began a bit awkward and we thought bringing him back to Moe, tight turning track, if he gets that kick off the bend he’d give it a good sight in front.

“He’s just starting to put it all together and hopefully we can get a couple more wins out of him this prep.

“Tea Master was a bit green, but once he got into clear air he really attacked the line.”

The next meeting at Moe Racing Club is the Local Cups and Community Race Day on Sunday, February 20.

Family fun: Newborough’s Walker, Emma, Sarah and Hannah Sedley relax on the picnic tables at Moe Racing Club for Kids Day Out.

Warriors prevail

BASKETBALL CBL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE top of the table clash between Traralgon and Warragul in Round 7 of the Country Basketball League lived up to the hype, with only four points separating the teams at the final buzzer.

The Warriors won 92-88 in a physical encounter at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium on Sunday to keep their unbeaten season intact.

Emotions were high throughout the match, with the passionate on court contest match almost as much by the parochial support from side lines.

An end-to-end opening term saw the T-Birds take a one point lead at the first change. The tone for what was to become a brutal affair was set when Warragul’s Graeme Radford left the court early with a blood nose.

The Warriors took some ascendency in the second quarter, shooting 25 points to 20. This ascendency was due mainly to Ambu Uliando, who nailed a number of three pointers from the side of the arc.

An alley-oop from Tom Hamilton right on the three quarter time buzzer provided a spark for Traralgon, as they went into the final change trailing 66-61.

The T-Birds pushed hard in the final term, but found themselves unable to overcome the gap established by Warragul in the previous quarter.

As the clock continued to tick Traralgon rolled the dice to try and forge a winning path, but in doing so were perhaps guilty of trying too hard, the cause of which resulted in two players being ejected late in the piece.

In the finish it seemed all the T-Birds could do was laugh at how many things went against them, with the body language of players and support staff at times appearing to say “what more can we possibly do?”

An air ball from a free throw in the last quarter may well have summed up Traralgon’s day, in what showed they have what it takes to compete against Warragul, provided they touch up aspects related to finishing quality.

The respect each side had for each other was clearly evident in the moments after the final buzzer, as players were seen causally chatting on the court, while opposing coaches Reece Hamriding (Traralgon) and Corey Smith (Warragul) left their respective benches to come together and chat during the final few seconds.

Leading the scoring for Traralgon was Frazar Brouns with 29, along with Christian and Luis D’Angelo with 15 each.

The T-Birds had a big win the day before, annihilating Sale 123-67.

Other Saturday CBL results saw Moe defeat

Gippsland Cup action is set to kick-off today SOCCER

Match of the round: Second placed Traralgon took on top side Warragul in the Country Basketball League last Sunday. Luis D’Angelo (pictured) was one of the T-Birds most prominent players. photograph liam durkin Lakes Entrance 93-75 and Korumburra roll Wonthaggi 76-66.

On Sunday, Churchill won 83-77 over Wonthaggi, and Maffra defeated Korumburra 84-71.

The result keeps the Blue Devils outside chance of playing finals alive, although with one round remaining it looks like it will take a minor miracle for that to happen.

Moe has a double header this weekend, travelling to Korumburra on Saturday and then Maffra on Sunday. The Eagles make the journey to Lakes Entrance on Saturday.

The fourth placed Meteors could finish as high as second if they win both games and Churchill defeats Traralgon at home on Sunday.

Warragul has the minor premiership locked away and will look to use Sunday’s game against Lakes Entrance as a dress rehearsal for finals.

Sale and Wonthaggi, both out of finals contention, have the bye.

IN the women’s, Moe powered to an 80-56 win over Lakes Entrance on Saturday.

Tahni Hodgens led the scoring for the Meteors with 17. Other results saw Wonthaggi defeat Korumburra 61-32, while on Sunday, Korumburra rolled a severely depleted Sale 95-44 and Wonthaggi was too strong for Maffra, winning 68-41.

Traralgon had the bye.

Moe will travel to Korumburra to see out the home-and-away season this Saturday, before playing Lakes Entrance for the second time in as many weeks on Sunday at home.

The match against Korumburra could act as a semi-final preview as it looks a near certainty the Meteors will finish third and the Wildcats second.

Top side Traralgon is also on the road, making the trip to Korumburra on Sunday.

THE inaugural Gippsland Cup begins today.

The three-day soccer tournament will see a representative side from the Latrobe Valley Soccer League battle high calibre opponents from Eastern Lions Football Club, Melbourne Victory and Mornington.

LVSL president Allan Roberts said all were looking forward to the opportunities that could arise out of the tournament: “We have several of the younger guys from the squads moving to Melbourne this year for uni and they want to continue to play football, but were unsure of where to go, these players have received some contacts via this tournament and will be in a position to continue to play,” he said.

“If we can create some contacts and they stay engaged in the game we may see them again in a couple of years if they move back post-uni. We would love to see this tournament create some pathways for local players to continue to play our sport if they leave Gippsland.”

Roberts also hoped the Gippsland Cup would highlight the need to invest in existing infrastructure currently standing around the soccer pitches of the Latrobe Valley.

“It is a given that we need to see the Latrobe City Stadium developed, it is a must if we want to bring bigger games/tournaments to our region. Latrobe City Council need to see that as a football community we are behind this and we will support larger events if they come our way,” he said.

“We see this tournament as a new opportunity to show that as a sport we can bring in a crowd and economic return. We have a couple of the Melbourne teams staying down in local motels, this will lead to spending in local eateries/shops as a by-product.

“It is a reality that local/state and federal government are economically driven, that is they need to see a dollar return for any investment, we have to show that our sport can attract a crowd and bring money into the local economies.

“We really want to see a good turn out from the Gippsland soccer community on both the days and have our supporters get behind this tournament.”

Player and officials will take a moment to remember local soccer icon Don Di Fabrizio,

who died last week, at matches on Friday and Saturday.

A number of matches will be live streamed over Friday and Saturday.

Sharks survive

CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

THERE was no shortage of talking points when results from Round 9 of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League came to hand.

A three-run margin and one wicket margin highlighted the evenness of the competition, while some emphatic performances by teams in other games proved what they are capable of, and may have sent a message to the rest of the competition.

LATROBE got home in a thriller against Raiders.

The Sharks looked gone for all money, but proved ‘it ain’t over till it’s over’, taking 8/30 in a dramatic finish to see Raiders go from 2/177 chasing 210 at Peter Siddle Oval to all out for 207.

Earlier in the day, Latrobe was asked to have a hit, and found runs from opener Anu Meenakshi who scored 61, captain Benn Zomer (45) and Brett Duncan (29 not out).

Raiders captain Liam Maynard took 4/29 with his leg breaks, while beanpole quick Harry McColl nabbed 4/45.

Maynard then scored 32, partnering with Mick Higgins in an 86 run stand for the second wicket.

When Maynard was dismissed, Higgins continued on with Madura Perera. The pair added 88 and looked to be in cruise control, however, shortly after Perera raised the bat for his half century, an appeal

by Zomer for leg before wicket was looked upon favourably by umpire Ray Hooper, and Latrobe was back in business.

Zomer made it a double-strike when he dismissed Higgins for a well compiled 86 a short time later, leaving Raiders a tricky 29 runs to get with six wickets in hand and two fresh batsman at the crease.

From there it was a matter of being the last team to panic. Raiders counted down the runs one by one and Latrobe went in for the kill.

Zomer broke through for his third wicket with the score 5/191, and then back-to-back run outs meant Raiders needed six to win.

With the game on the line, the ball was in the safe hands of Latrobe pace ace Tyron Gamage, who firstly tore through the defences of Brayden Hickey, before Harry McColl was run out in further chaos.

The equation came down to four off two with one wicket in hand.

Gamage was up to the task and delivered the final blow, knocking over Oliver McColl to see Latrobe to victory.

The Sharks took the last three wickets for no runs to win the match.

Gamage ended with 3/28 from 9.5 overs, while Zomer took 3/42 from his 10.

TRARALGON WEST continues to be a bogey team for Trafalgar.

It was double-déjà vu for the Ships, who lost to the Eagles by one wicket for the second season in a row.

Batting first, Trafalgar compiled 6/172, with Rhys Holdsworth and Aiden George scoring 47 and 45 respectively.

The Traralgon West tweakers found a good amount of purchase in the Jack Canavan surface and gave the Ships plenty to think about.

Reece Falla was miserly, going for just 21 runs in 10 overs with three maidens, as was Adam Thow who only went for 22 in his 10.

Mark Williams got the breakthroughs, finishing with 3/48 along with Tim Fitch who took 2/39.

Trafalgar started brightly and had Traralgon West 4/30 in the first session.

Young Eagle Josh Monacella then stood tall under duress, partnering with Tim Howe in putting on 91 for the fifth wicket. The pair denied Trafalgar for the entire middle session, as Monacella ticked the score along and Howe played a tremendous supporting role.

Monacella proved his effort of 85 not out in the previous game wasn’t a fluke, as he put Traralgon West into a winning position with 58 off 69 balls.

At 5/121 the match was in the balance. Trafalgar looked like they had the game there for the taking when Traralgon West slipped to 7/133 following the dismissal of Howe for a determined 36.

Williams played a handy cameo of 21 off 25 batting at number eight, and he took the Eagles to within nine runs of victory.

The wicket of Williams had the scoreboard reading 9/164 with four overs remaining.

Some tense moments followed the last pair of Zach Henke and Adam Thow, but the tailenders held their nerve and Thow, with ice in his veins, clipped the winning runs to secure victory for Traralgon West.

Such a performance by the Eagles will surely do wonders for the team’s confidence moving forward, especially considering they were without key players Rami Zafar, Rob Wilkie and Ben Edebohls.

Jackson Noonan was easily the best bowler for Trafalgar, taking 3/10 off 10 overs with four maidens. Aydan Connolly chipped in with 2/31.

CHURCHILL showed form is temporary and class is permanent against Morwell.

The Cobras bounced back from a heavy loss to Latrobe the previous game, inflicting the Tigers with an equally heavy loss this time around.

Brendan Mason played a breathtaking innings

Economical: Traralgon West off-spinner Reece Falla proved difficult to play in the match against Trafalgar, conceding just 21 runs in 10 overs.

for Churchill, making 109 from 89 balls batting on the Morwell Recreation Reserve.

Mason hit six sixes in his effort, which was ably supported by Matt Harvey who made 48 opening the batting.

Harvey and Mason put on 124 for the second wicket, helping the Cobras to a score of 211.

Off spinner Mark Cukier led the bowling for Morwell, taking 4/34, while Brendan Brincat (3/30) and Sam Mooney (2/36) took poles along the way.

The Morwell reply never materialised, and the Tigers lost wickets at regular intervals to eventually be routed for 87 inside 30 overs.

A middle order collapse saw Morwell lose 4/10, as the Harvey twins of Ryan and Matt ran riot for Churchill.

Left arm quick Ryan took 2/19 and Matt 2/28.

The King Cobra John Keighran missed out with the bat, but more than made up for it with the ball, nabbing 4/17.

CATS activated beast mode against Mirboo North.

Batting first at John Black Oval, the home side sent the ball to all parts, racking up a huge score of 4/294.

Of the six CATS players that got a hit, five had strike rates at 80 or above.

Josh Keyhoe torched 107 not out from 121 balls, with his innings featuring seven maximums.

Cal Stewart was equally devastating, making 94 not out from 86 balls with six sixes.

Stewart and Keyhoe demoralised Mirboo North to the tune of a 198-run stand for the fifth wicket.

Skipper Ben Julin had to make do with scoring 30 off 31 balls, along with Jamie Cochrane who made 27 off 21.

Amazingly, despite the batting onslaught, nearly one-fifth of the overs bowled were maidens. Anton Thomas had an eventful first grade debut for Mirboo North, and finished the innings with 3/51.

The Tigers went down swinging with the bat, and although they were dismissed for 140 in 36.2 overs, a few players were able to spend time out in the middle. Captain Jesse Giardina top scored with 40 off 49 balls.

Harry Cooper made it nine wickets in two weeks with figures of 4/24, which included two coming via caught and bowled.

Tinashe Panyangara (2/26) and Julin (2/32) also got their names in the wicket takers column.

CENTRALS made it back-to-back wins with victory over Jeeralang-Boolarra.

The Lions compiled 7/247 batting first at Moe Racecourse, which ended up being virtually 100 runs more than what the Panthers could manage.

Opening batsmen Wayne Henry and Reghard Hefer led from the front, scoring 76 and 31 respectively.

The pair received good support from a number of players coming in later, notably Tye Hourigan who scored 52 and Ethan Foley who made 25.

Alex Devonshire had some success with the ball for Jeeralang-Boolarra, taking 3/48.

The Panthers were plagued by players getting starts in their batting effort, but couldn’t capitalise after putting in the ground work.

Captain Ben Heath did his best with 41 batting at first drop, along with Nila Thilllekarathna who scored 28.

Jeeralang-Boolarra saw out their innings, getting to 158.

All Centrals bowlers took a wicket. Corey Pollard was the best performer, taking three wickets for the second week in a row, finishing with 3/6 off seven overs. Lachlan Patterson broke the game open for the Lions, taking the wickets of Heath and Thilllekarathna on the way to figures of 2/38.

Bryce Williamson also claimed a couple of scalps, taking 2/26.

MOE had the bye.

THIS WEEK, Moe will host Raiders at Ted Summerton Reserve, while Traralgon West travels to Peter Siddle Oval to take on Latrobe. Other games will see Centrals and Mirboo North meet at Yallourn North, Churchill and Jeeralang-Boolarra clash at Yinnar, and Trafalgar will surely have a bus booked for the journey out to Traralgon South.

Duff’s dream afternoon CRICKET TDCA

By LIAM DURKIN

IT WAS an emotion-charged Duncan Cameron Park last Saturday, as Rovers Cricket Club stalwart Simon Duff played his 200th A Grade match for the club.

Duff now sits among illustrious and exclusive company, joining fellow Rovers legend David Little as the only man to achieve such a feat.

Rovers rose to the occasion for Duff, winning a match that turned into a thriller against Imperials by nine runs.

A strong turnout gathered on the steps and in the Rovers clubrooms post-match to toast Duff and celebrate the milestone.

The script couldn’t have been written any better for Duff, as the man himself came to the crease with the score 5/54, and ended with an unbeaten 54 batting at number seven to see his side to a total of 171 batting first.

Rovers looked set to make it an early finish for Duff after reducing Imperials to 8/116, yet the visitors made him sweat on the result, and very nearly spoilt the party by getting to 162 before the final wicket was taken.

Reflecting on his cricketing journey, Duff said there had been lots of great memories along the way.

“It has flown, definitely,” he said.

“I’ve ticked off a lot of things that I never thought I’d tick off as a cricketer. To play 200 A Grade games, captain the club, coach the club, to do something only one other person has achieved at the club is a massive honour, it is hard to put into words, it’s not something I set out to achieve but I love the club, made a lot of good friends through the club and cricket … it’s been awesome.

“Just the people (have made it great), always loved the people, love the cricket, love the ground, it is the best ground in the competition, enjoyed every minute of it.

“All I ever wanted to do was play cricket and play at the best level I could and try the best that

IT was moving day for the TDCA on the weekend with five clubs changing their ladder positions, throwing the 2021/22 season wide open.

Round 9 had some fantastic matches played and if this round is anything to go by it should be expected that every round from here on in will be at a finals type intensity.

Ex Students v Glengarry

IN what many are predicting as a grand final preview, the match-up between Ex Students and Glengarry did not disappoint.

Ex Students at home are a formidable beast and no club plays to their home conditions better so it certainly was no surprise that when Lee Stockdale won the toss he batted.

The Rec Reserve wicket has traditionally been better to bat on when the ball is still hard and Stockdale, along with fellow opener Matt Dyke, showed just how good it is to bat on, putting on 96 for the first wicket against Glengarry’s star pace attack.

Stockdale was the first wicket to fall after making 48 from 80 balls with Dyke falling soon after, but not before raising his bat for 54.

Some good bowling then kept Glengarry in the hunt as the next top score any Sharks batsman could muster after the openers was 16 not out from Mitch Membrey, but the positive thing for Ex Students was every other batsman bar one made double figures which eventually lifted the score to 6/189.

Frank Marks (2/22) and Al Jenkin (2/30) were Glengarry’s best with the ball while up and coming quick Gareth Waack-Hawkins was the other wicket taker with 1/17.

Glengarry would have been happy containing Ex Students to under 200 and with regular quicks Harris and Matthews not available the Magpies went to work and set out to emulate Ex Students innings.

It was almost an exact copy of how the Sharks went about it as Al Jenkin (56) and Frank Marks (45) put on 101 for the first wicket until Marks was dismissed.

Nat Freitag then came and went for nine and Al Jenkin was dismissed by Jimmy Pryde with the score on 120 which gave Ex Students a sniff, but still had Glengarry in a commanding position, only requiring 69 with seven wickets in hand.

Go dad: Simon Duff celebrates his 200th A Grade game for Rovers Cricket Club with children Lenny and Zachary.

Inset: Simon Duff joined David Little as one of only two men to play 200 A Grade games for Rovers Cricket Club. photographs liam durkin I could, I never thought I was the best cricketer in the league but I try my best every week.”

Fittingly, the man he was joining in the 200 Club was on hand to congratulate Duff on the day.

“Dave came down this morning and we had a chat … he said it was a bit lonely at the top,” Duff joked.

“It’s great that it’s finally happened, we were talking out on the field there is probably six players playing that weren’t even born when I played my first A Grade game.”

The life member has basically done it all on and off the field during his time with Rovers.

Starting out as a wicketkeeper, Duff made his A Grade debut in season 2000/01.

Since then, he has amassed over 3200 runs and taken 158 catches and completed 28 stumpings,

to go with 77 wickets since turning his attention to spin bowling a few seasons ago.

During this time he has won two A Grade Club Champion awards, nine batting awards and three bowling awards for Rovers.

In addition, he has also held various roles at committee level for over a decade, notably serving as secretary, treasurer and curator.

As for the immediate future, the 37 year old said he was taking it “one year at a time”.

“I’d love to keep playing, if I feel the body is up to it I’ll keep going,” he said.

Having achieved virtually all there is to achieve in cricket, Duff said there was still one item he wanted to tick off the list - a Rovers premiership.

“It would be the ultimate, that is the only thing left to do,” he said.

Moving day in the TDCA after top round CRICKET TDCA

TDCA SCOREBOARD

pressure finally got to Glengarry which followed a tsunami of wickets and the Magpies went from being 4/146 to all out 175 in the blink of an eye.

Stockdale rounded out a good game claiming 2/21 as Ex Students best bowler, but Jimmy Pryde, Jack Robertson and Michael Warne each claimed two themselves in a great display of pressure bowling.

This match now sets up a tantalising finals series where these two teams are certain to meet with the ledger at 1-1 for the regular season.

The win lifts Ex Students to second, trailing only the league leading Pies.

Rovers v Imperials

ROVERS played off in another thriller, this time coming out with the win after a plucky Imperials pushed them all the way.

Winning the toss and batting first Rovers put on 29 for the first wicket which is their best opening stand for the season.

The wheels started to wobble though as they quickly found themselves at 5/54 with their main stars back in the sheds, mainly due to some brilliant bowling from Brad Sizeland and Ross Williams.

As Imperials two older statesmen got a spell it was then time for Rovers spiritual leaders to stand up as Dean Gillard and Simon Duff set about rebuilding the innings in a good 85-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

When Gillard was dismissed for 25 the tail then needed to wag but with only Tyron Bramwell being able to stand up and make 13 himself it all fell back on Duff, who in his 200th A Grade match for the club stood tall making a fine 54 not out, taking his beloved Rovers up to 171 from 48.2 overs.

Williams finished the day with another threewicket haul, while Sizeland claimed two to now find themselves first and second for the bowling aggregate for the league.

Rovers would have been confident they could defend 171 as the wicket was tricky to get in on.

It didn’t help that Imps captain Rob Morley was dismissed for 14 with the score on 20 either, but again Imperials showed fight and took it up to Rovers.

When the score got to 60, Rovers were able to take two quick wickets and from then on it was a steady procession of wickets to fall, apart from Scotty Aitken who batting at five was able to hold up an end while wickets fell around him.

At 9/130 it looked all but lost for Imps, but Aitken then freed himself up and started to score quickly which brought up his 50 in the process.

With just one over to go and the score on 9/162 Jack Lynch was charged with bowling the final over

and luckily for Rovers he was able to strike with his first ball, bowling Aitken for 59 and winning the match as well.

Darion Duncan (2/23), Ewan Williams (2/24) and Jack Lynch (2/30) all bowled well for Rovers with Duff and Dougal Williams claiming a wicket each.

Rovers move up to a spot to sixth and Imperials have fallen from fifth to seventh.

Gormandale v Toongabbie

IN the final match of the round Gormandale were seeking redemption against a Toongabbie team who are shaping well for a finals berth this season.

Toongabbie won the toss and were hoping that the scars of their first encounter for this season would still be fresh in Gormandale’s mind after rolling the Tigers for 95 in Round 2.

When Nat Campbell was dismissed for three it looked to be a great decision, but Gormandale got to work and were able to build a solid platform and have wickets in hand coming into the last 10 overs of their innings.

This was due largely to Matt Hibbs who was able to play himself in and make a good 61, which more than doubled his total runs for the season.

James Jacobsen and Chris Lehner were both good as well making important 30s while Campbell Peavey was able to get a good not out 24 to take Gormandale’s score up to 7/205.

The evergreen Tom Shippen was the Rams best bowler claiming 3/27 on what was a good wicket for batting and hard work for bowling.

Toongabbie got off to a great start in reply as the Dunn brothers put on 56 for the first wicket.

Gormandale were struggling to get any traction with the ball until up and coming medium pacer Ethan Jarvis took responsibility and ended up with a Dunn double having Michael out caught for 24 and then bowling Tim soon after on 33.

Adam Brady then knocked over Jason Veneman for 13 and the match swung back in the Tigers favour as Nat Campbell was then able to rip the guts out of Toongabbie’s batting order with the big scalps of James Chalmers, Kev Stoddart and Keenan Hughes.

As it always does resistance came in the form of Shippen and Rob Wheildon who both batted well but the task was too great and Toongabbie were knocked over eventually in the 46th over for 157 with Wheildon the top scorer with 36.

As mentioned, Campbell finished with three wickets while Ethan Jarvis, Adam Brady and Luke Henderson each claimed two wickets apiece.

Gormandale jump two spots to fifth and Toongabbie drop to third.

Dynamic duo: Winners of the boys doubles final Mili Poljicak (Croatia) and Edas Butvilas (Lithuania).

Canadian club: Winners of the girls doubles Victoria Mboko and Kayla Cross.

On top: Boys winner Mili Poljicak of Croatia donned the trademark Akubra.

All class: Winner of the girls final Sofia Costoulas (Belgium).

challenger in the second set, with a number of deft placements to force Costoulas to run around the court as much as possible.

The Belgian however was up to the task, nailing a number of powerful returns.

Given Cross’ tough road to the final it is likely she figured her chances of winning would increase if she tried to wear her opponent down rather than go head-to-head.

This strategy enabled her to keep within touching distance of Costoulas in the first set, but as the second set wore on it became clear the journey to the final had taken its toll on Cross, and Costoulas took the second set in relatively comfortable fashion 6-2 to complete her victory.

With Canadians famous for their politeness, one couldn’t help but smile wryly when Cross enquired rather courteously to the chair umpire “are you kidding me?” following a tight line call.

Costoulas said the tournament had gone well.

“It was a great preparation here, hopefully I can pull off the same run next week (at the Australian Open).

“I like the heat out here, I like to play in warm conditions. The people (in Traralgon) are very nice.”

THE boys’ final saw second seed Mili Poljicak of Croatia up against sixth seed Edas Butvilas of Lithuania.

Butvilas knocked top seed Bruno Kuzuhara (USA) out in the semi-final, and signs were looking promising after he took a 7-5 lead in the first set of the final.

Poljicak recovered from a sluggish start and worked his way into the contest, landing a number of killer blows in the second set to win 3-6.

The competitive juices of the Croatian were clearly flowing, as he looked like a man possessed once he stepped foot over the white line.

Some tense moments on break points in the second and third set had him speaking aggressively to himself in his native tongue - and you didn’t have to be a lip reader to know roughly what he was saying.

Poljicak looked the calmer player, preferring to absorb what his opponent could throw at him and then look for ways to counter-attack.

The Lithuanian pulled one out of the trick bag early in the piece,

executing a shot between his legs to keep a long rally going.

Both players well and truly belied their age in maturity and appearance. Although they were listed as 17-year-olds, they could have easily been mistaken for men in their early 20s.

Come the third and deciding set, Poljicak gained enough separation on his rival and eventually won 6-3.

“I felt it in the second (set) when I broke him 4-2 it was my time … it was good in the end,” he said.

“I handled the wind well in the second and third, I think that is what helped me win. It feels great, because this whole tournament is well known in the world.”

For Butvilas, he still found reason to smile after the match, and was embraced by his mother as if he in fact had won the title - as only mothers can.

Amazingly, Butvilas and Poljicak went from enemies to teammates a short time after the singles final, pairing up to play in the doubles.

In a marathon match that went to super tiebreak, the duo completed a 5-7, 6-2, 10-4 win over Kazuhara and Hong Kong partner Coleman Wong. The match started in sunshine and ended under chilling lights just after 9.30pm.

Cross still left Traralgon with an Akubra, as she teamed up with fellow Canadian Victoria Mboko to win the doubles.

The pair got past fellow Canadian Mia Kupres and Ranah Akua Stoiber of Great Britain in a hard fought 6-3, 6-4, 10-6 scoreline.

The week capped off another memorable tournament and coup for the area, in which more than 150 of the world’s best junior tennis players converged on Traralgon.

While it remains to be seen just how far some of them will go as they move through the ranks as professional tennis players, those that do reach the heights of grand slams will be able to say they got their start in Traralgon.

Of all the positives to come out of a major tournament like this, perhaps the greatest is the fact that while not everyone necessarily spoke the same language in a verbal sense, once they were on a court with a racquet and a ball in hand - this was all that was needed to bring any number of countries and cultures together.

Set: Bruno Kuzuhara of the United States plays this forehand during the boys doubles final.

Polite pair: Canada’s Kayla Cross (with sunglasses) and Victoria Mboko in the girls doubles final.

TENNIS TRARALGON JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International tennis tournament reached its climax last Wednesday following a week of intense competition.

It was a European flavour that took out the boys and girls singles title, as well as the boys doubles, while the girls doubles returned victory for the country known as the Great White North.

As the singles tournament went on and players were eliminated one by one, the finals came down to four players fighting it out for the championship and the chance to take home a trademark Traralgon Tennis Association Akubra.

In the girls, Belgium seventh seed Sofia Costoulas was pitted against 16th ranked Kayla Cross of Canada.

Both players went into the final having taken down formidable opponents on the journey. Costoulas defeated Russian top seed Diana Shnaider in the quarter final, while Cross got through an extremely tough draw to topple second seed Kzenia Zaytseva (Russia) in the third round and eighth seed Celine Naef (Switzerland) in the semi.

A tight first set in the final saw Costoulas take the lead 6-4.

Both players traded blows in the early stages, and appeared to allow the game to unfold naturally.

played, they get a few lessons as well as they go around with the pros that they play with … it is really good for everybody,” he said.

“They (the professionals) change the way the course is played because of the distance they can hit the ball.

“They have to play the place a bit differently to what the amateurs do, but they do learn Traralgon, although by Melbourne standards is probably short, if you don’t put the ball in the right position

Chipping: John Cameron has been one of many local Traralgon players preparing for the Pro-Am.

you are penalised. It’s more about placing the ball rather than how far you can hit it.”

A marathon effort has been completed behind the scenes by the Traralgon Golf Club Pro-Am committee, with this year’s event planned virtually as soon as the previous instalment finished.

Such is the workload, one committee member described preparing for the pro-am as “like painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge”.

The two-day Traralgon Golf Club Pro-Am was first held in 1991 and has been a regular fixture on the Victorian PGA calendar since.

Prior to that, the Traralgon Pro-Am commenced in 1976 as a 36-hole event. The next year it became a fully accredited professional tournament played over 72 holes.

The event went in to recess for 10 years before returning as the Latrobe Valley Pro Am played at Morwell and Traralgon.

Since 1993, the event has been played as a 36-hole event at Traralgon.

Norman won his second professional event at the Traralgon Loy Yang Classic in 1978, returning 12 months later to successfully defend his title.

Current Traralgon Golf Club professional and head coach Darren Cole has won the Pro-Am four times.

Hagart encouraged any spectators interested in witnessing professional golfers in action to come and have a look.

“If you want to see some really good golf in our local area and also have a look at our course everyone is welcome, it is free to come and watch,” he said.

The Traralgon Golf Club course is closed today to ensure greens, fairways and surrounds are in prime condition for the Pro-Am.

Templetons enjoy a first win at Flemington

HORSE RACING

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

BONNY mare Changing Tracks delivered a special moment for Paul and Tracey Templeton last Friday.

The six-year-old delivered a first winner at Flemington to the Moe-based training partnership in the $50,000 Resimax Jockeys Challenge Trophy (1200m).

Ridden by Craig Newitt, Changing Tracks ($13) revelled on the straight course, travelling sweetly from a midfield position before unleashing a blistering finish.

The final margin of two and a quarter lengths highlighted what was a dominant display from the daughter of Written Tycoon in the Benchmark 64 Handicap.

“She has got a good turn of foot and run some ridiculous sectionals at times,” Templeton told Racing.com post-race.

“This race panned out great for her, going back to 1200m (after racing at 1400m at her previous start). It’s a great result.”

Following the win, Templeton also paid tribute to owner Keith Ellis.

“I’m happy for Keith, he’s been with us for a long time and it’s great to get him a winner in town,” he said.

The win was the fourth from 26 starts for Changing Tracks, who lifted her prizemoney earnings to more than $119,000.

The stable’s other runner on the Rapid Racing Raceday, Joltin’ Joe finished fifth, beaten 2.15 lengths by the smart Grand Pope in the Tick Homes Dash (1200m).

Fellow Moe trainer Peter Gelagotis also added another metropolitan winner to his record when Miss Five Hundred took out the Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Benchmark 64 Handicap (2400m) at Sandown Lakeside on January 19.

Miss Five Hundred ($6) was given a lovely run in transit from jockey Jye McNeil and showed real quality to race away for a three and three quarter length victory from Look Sharpish.

The mare is impeccably bred, being by Dundeel out of the Group One winning mare Cinque Cento, a winner of the 2007 Doomben Cup. Stablemate Music Addition was an eye-catching third at Moonee Valley on Saturday in the race won by Yulong Command.

THE Latrobe City WIN Television Traralgon Pro-Am Classic tees off tomorrow.

All is in readiness for the club’s major event one of the most prestigious Pro-Am’s in regional Victoria.

Over the next two days more than 70 professional golfers will grace the fairways of Traralgon, playing alongside a host of local players.

Some big names in golf are set to showcase their ability at Traralgon, including former US Open player Marcus Fraser, who has a career high world ranking of 53 and also won the Gippsland Super 6 at Yallourn Golf Club last year.

Current leader of the Victoria PGA Order of Merit Tim Hart is also coming to Traralgon, and his long drives are sure to be a feature.

A pair of female professionals in Joanna Flaherty and Steph Vogel will also play, as will internationals Ben Jackson (United Kingdom) and Luke O’Sullivan (New Zealand).

Traralgon Golf Club president Jim Hagart said all were looking forward to another successful Pro-Am. “It is our major fundraiser for the year and also great for Gippsland because it brings a lot of new people into the area and promotes golf as well,” he said.

“We have a lot of visitors come from all over the state, all over Australia actually to play in it, and we are expecting a lot of people to come and watch as well.

“It is an Order of Merit event, they give points to the Order or Merit which allows them (the professionals) to play in the bigger events around the country during the year and it has always been regarded as a prestigious event. It has been won

by Greg Norman and some of the big names in golf over the years … it does carry a lot of prestige.”

As Hagart explained, the pro-am also provides a real life insight for everyday players into the intricacies of the game.

“It is more for the amateur to play with the professional and see how the game should be
