Council performance under the microscope By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has rated poorly in transparency indicators compared to similar councils in the state, according to the latest local government performance review indicators. Data shows Latrobe City made double the amount of decisions behind closed doors compared to the state’s average benchmark for all councils. Local Government Victoria’s Know Your Council website looks into the performance of the state’s councils for 2020 and 2021. It reveals that 14.36 per cent of decisions made by Latrobe City were made

at meetings closed to the public, nearly double that of the benchmark for all councils at 7.81 per cent. Comparisons to similar regional cities such as Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong found 9.05 per cent of decisions were made out of the public eye. But the data also revealed there had been a decrease in Latrobe City from the past financial year, dropping from 28.55 per cent. Latrobe City mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said while council made “every effort to ensure transparency in its decisionmaking processes, some items are considered confidential under the Local Government Act 2020 and as such, must

be determined in a closed meeting”. “This can include decisions about tenders, contracts and funding submissions,” Cr O’Callaghan said. “We are committed to making council meetings as accessible to the community as we can through live streaming all meetings and facilitating community participation time.” The Know Your Council website includes 58 measures and a governance and management checklist of 24 items, from data supplied from local government’s own annual reports. The website was set up to improve the transparency and accountability of council performance to ratepayers

and to provide a more meaningful set of information to the public. Latrobe City’s community satisfaction with council decisions were also low with a score of 56 out of 100, but slightly better than similar councils at 53 out of 100. However, Latrobe City’s elected representatives are costing ratepayers far less at $36,900, way below the cost of other councils in the state at $44,400. Roads and rubbish fared well, with 99.70 per cent of sealed local roads maintained to condition standards, and fewer kerbside bins missed than other councils.

EMMA Balfour was awarded Dux of Traralgon College with an ATAR of 95.5. Ms Balfour was extremely pleased with her result and holds hope that it will help her begin her career in law. The young lady is very passionate about pursuing a career as an international human rights lawyer. “I just think how the legal system influences societal constructs is so fascinating,” she said. “When I was in Year 8 I read the Constitution, and I was so excited by it that I knew I just had to get into law.” Her first preference for University in 2022 is a double degree in Law and PEE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) at Monash University. Ms Balfour is relieved her scores have been released and she can move on to the next chapter of her life at University. “The feeling of relief and joy was amazing,” she told The Express, describing the moment she first saw her ATAR. Legal Studies was understandably her highest scoring subject, for which she received a 45 study score. She said her best study habit was developing a routine and sticking to it. “My best study habit was making sure I found a study schedule that worked for me and making sure I stuck to a regimented schedule,” she said. “I would also stay up at night and try to memorise my notes by recording myself and seeing how much I could remember and then highlighting what I’d forgotten and going over it again.” Ms Balfour said she would not have been able to do as well as she did without her wonderful support system. “My mum and my friends were amazing, my teachers were so supportive - even the teachers that I had last year,” she said. “Our school social worker support system was amazing. Being able to go out of class and have a meeting with someone where they check in with my wellbeing was so critical.” Mrs Balfour praised Traralgon College for it’s approach to online learning throughout the pandemic.

A CAMPFIRE is believed to be the cause of a fire at the pine plantation on Scrubby Lane, Traralgon on Monday, November 20 at 5.20pm. Smoke was noticed coming from the base of a pine tree in the area, and shortly after Traralgon Country Fire Authority (CFA) attended the scene. The CFA contained the fire to a 30 metre by 50 metre area. After investigation, it was concluded that the fire likely began from a spark from a nearby campfire that had not been extinguished. A sudden gust of wind carried a spark from the fire and ignited the area. Police would like to remind people to ensure any fires that are lit are properly extinguished.

Minister puts Gippsland line in too-hard basket: O’Brien NATIONALS Member for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien says the state government is consigning Gippsland rail passengers to continued future delays at the same time as its spend-a-thon on city infrastructure reaches epic proportions of waste and mismanagement. Mr O’Brien recently called on the government again to undertake a feasibility study into a dedicated Gippsland line through Melbourne suburbs given ongoing delays and timetable challenges caused by congestion on the tracks shared by Metro and VLine trains. Mr O’Brien said the political response he received from the Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan was a slap in the face for Gippsland rail passengers. “The Minister has responded that a dedicated Gippsland line is “not feasible” and “unachievable” and refuses to even investigate solutions to the problems that plague Gippsland trains,” Mr O’Brien said. “Our trains regularly get stuck behind Metro trains once they hit Pakenham causing enormous issues with punctuality and reliability on our line. “Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo all have a dedicated line completed by the Nationals and Liberals when last in government, but Labor

continually turns its back on Gippsland rail users. “At the moment the Andrews government is committing multi-billions of dollars to projects like the Metro Rail Tunnel and the Suburban Rail Loop - and yet it refuses to even consider upgrades for Gippsland passengers. “Even Labor’s much-hyped and long-delayed Gippsland Rail Revival Project is being funded almost entirely by the federal coalition government. “With Jacinta Allan only interested in political comments and failing to consider the need for dedicated Gippsland rail lines, Gippsland commuters are being put in the too-hard basket once again. “What the Minister has effectively acknowledged is that Labor’s poorly planned ‘sky rail’ project with elevated stations along the Pakenham line has effectively precluded any dedicated tracks for Gippsland VLine passengers. “This poor planning is an indictment on the government and will harm Gippsland passengers well into the future.”

MORWELL Catholic Parishes Sacred Heart and St Vincent’s held a joint celebration recently to commemorate their 50th anniversaries. The theme on the celebration logo was ‘celebrating God’s faithfulness’. The event capped off a mountainous deal of preparation for organisers, who were forced to postpone and reschedule many times due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions. Sacred Heart was to celebrate 50 years in 2020, but a decision was made to bring both churches together this year as they are both in the one Parish. The official 50th anniversary for Sacred Heart was November 15, 2020, while St Vincent’s fell on December 19, 2021. Mass was celebrated at St Vincent’s on Saturday, December 18 with Father Jude Pirotta making the journey down from Melbourne to celebrate mass with Morwell parish priest Fr James Fernandez. The occasion was something of a homecoming for Fr Pirotta as he has family ties to Morwell. A social event was held in Kernot Hall following mass. Over 240 people came to enjoy a three course meal, which was highlighted by live music and dancing. The following day, Holy Mass was celebrated at Sacred Heart, with Bishop Gregory Bennet and past Parish priests Vicar General Fr. Peter Slater, Fr. Peter Bickley, Fr. James Fernandez and also nine Josephite nuns who played a huge part in both the Catholic schools so many years ago. The church had families who had moved away, visitors from Melbourne, and local parishioners who had both churches close to their hearts come back to celebrate. In addition, many past parishioners who were to frail to travel sent their best wishes and congratulations, notably the Green and Ryan families and Dr Wiseman. A barbecue followed mass at the undercover school grounds with a multicultural program of singing and dancing.

A five-year-old was located in possession of a lighter after being left unattended in the shed. It is believed that the explosion occurred as a result of the lighter being used on an aerosol can. The CFA attended and put the fire out. No one was injured. However, there was some minor damage to some personal items in the shed. The child was offered a place in a juvenile fire prevention program, which was accepted.

People evading police intercept

THERE has been a notable increase in people

evading police in motor vehicles over the last week. Police want to remind people that in doing so they are causing danger to other motorists, and will face more serious charges for taking measures to evade police intercept.

Extra patrols over the holiday period POLICE will be continuing extra patrols over the holiday period, both on the roads and at local nightclub precincts. Locals can expect police to be more visible on the roads, and extra drug and alcohol testing to take place. They want to remind motorists to take regular breaks when travelling long distances, and to not take risks on the roads. Be aware of fatigue while driving and drink responsibly.

Chunxing documents given endorsement from council RUSSELL NORTHE

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has endorsed documents including an environmental management plan to allow developer Chunxing to start building its Hazelwood North used lead acid battery plant. However, Latrobe City is also taking out an enforcement action against the company for carrying out minor works at the Fourth Road site before all these incorporated documents were finalised. A Latrobe City spokesperson said council had asked Chunxing to cease works until all the required paperwork was endorsed after officers attended the site last week. “Appropriate enforcement action will be taken by Latrobe City Council in relation to this breach,” the spokesperson said. Chunxing had submitted plans to be reviewed and endorsed by both Latrobe City and the Environment Protection Authority as a requirement under the overall planning permit, but works couldn’t start until these plans were approved. The EPA had also contacted Chunxing about the exact nature of some works at the site, which

it confirmed included installing a small sewer pipe riser. But an EPA spokesman said the sewer preparation works did not require EPA approval or fall within the conditions of the company’s EPA works approval. Objector group ALiVE secretary Maggie Jones said she hoped the Planning Minister Richard Wynne would carry out an environmental effects statement into the project, even though Chunxing could now lawfully start construction. “ALiVe will continue to request that due process and proper oversight be undertaken for the project,” Ms Jones said. “Our concern was Chunxing’s willingness to misunderstand its conditions so early in the peace. “What does this mean going forward?” Chunxing is aiming to build a battery recycling plant to transform 50,000 tonnes of used car batteries into 28,000 tonnes of refined lead per year. The Express had contacted Chunxing for comment.

Calls are made for FOI into power station closure date

Lunch

By MICHELLE SLATER

A LATROBE Valley community group is calling on the state government to come clean over a “secret deal” struck with EnergyAustralia to keep the Yallourn Power Station operating until 2028. Environmental Justice Australia is lodging a Freedom of Information request on behalf of local group Friends of Latrobe Water. The FOI request is to the Environment Minister Lily D’Amborio and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning seeking details into the agreement. The group is criticising the state government for refusing to disclose the details over the state government’s agreement to subsidise the power station until 2028, citing commercial-in-confidence. It is also looking for further details around an agreement with EnergyAustralia to repair damage to the Morwell River Diversion near the mine. It comes after the June storms resulted in significant flooding in the Morwell River and caused cracks in the MRD that threatened to inundate the mine. Construction and repairs are estimated to take up to 18 months to complete. The Australian Energy Market Operator did not

forecast any supply shortfalls in the next five years but acknowledged the importance of protecting the mine to ensure network system security. FLoW spokeswoman Hayley Sestokas said the community has been “kept in the dark” over how public funds have been used in this agreement. Our government cannot hide information which affects our community behind a shield of commercial-inconfidence,” Ms Sestokas said. “We are asking Ms D’Ambrosio for transparency about important government agreements which will have an enormous bearing on the Latrobe Valley community in the years ahead. “Ms D’Ambrosio has claimed that this deal is one other governments can learn from and yet we still know very little about what it involves.” A Victorian government spokesperson said the agreement with Energy Australia was about providing “confidence to the local community, workers and the energy market”. “This agreement will ensure we have Yallourn Power Station available until 2028 and provides a safety net to avoid an unplanned exit of Yallourn,” the spokesperson said. “It sends a clear message to investors to build replacement capacity, while ensuring we have the supply we need for Victorians”.

Working in Child Protection proves a rewarding career

INNER Gippsland, including Morwell, has been identified as a priority area for more Child Protection workers. The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) are calling for more people to join the workforce. DFFH has launched a new recruitment drive called ‘Go Where You’re Needed’, which is aiming to recruit more than 280 new Child Protection workers throughout the state. There are many positions available for those joining the workforce. “We are helping get experts into communities across the state to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and families,” Minister for Child Protection Anthony Carbines said. “These are rewarding opportunities for a broad range of roles in the ranks of the child protection workforce and a chance to become part of a system that ensures all Victorian children and families are safe.” Kylie Hodges and Victoria Hingston are Child Protection workers based in Gippsland. Ms Hingston is currently in the role of Practice Leader in Case Planning, and has worked in the field for more than 20 years. “At university they identified Child Protection as a quite challenging field, and I really enjoy a challenge, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a student placement there ... I just loved it and have never looked back,” she said. Ms Hingston said there are lots of supports in place for those joining the industry, including structured training and peer support. “Every day is very different ... you’re exposed to learning opportunities every moment of the day and I really like that, and thrive in that environment. “It’s quite structured, there’s lots of training available for staff ... there’s a lot of support built in.” Ms Hodges has spent much of her life in Gippsland, and explained that joining the Child Protection workforce was an eye-opening experience. She has now worked in the field for 16 years. “It was a shock to my system, I had lived a very

sheltered life ... I remember loving my parents more than I already did.” Both women have children of their own, and find that despite being busy at work, their jobs allow them flexibility, such as being able to attend school functions or other important family events. “Even with the busy schedules we have, when there’s been important events for our children we are able to have that flexibility,” said Ms Hingston. “They do acknowledge that family is important, your children are important.” There are also many supports available for workers, including mental health support. “We have a really good wellbeing service at work, which actually allows you to link your family in as well,” Ms Hodges said. “Mental health has become a really big focus during COVID ... the services are really easily accessible. I think the department is really good at focusing on mental health.” Another area that appealed to the women upon entering the workforce was the job security and the opportunity to grow. “I liked the idea of having a really stable, secure career with lots of benefits,” Ms Hingston said. “I love my job in Child Protection, so I’m always going to say ‘give it a go’ ... if you’re going into there willing to learn and willing to work hard and develop supportive relationships with everyone around you, then it’s a very positive job.” There are a number of different positions within the field, which Ms Hodges said is one of the benefits of working in Child Protection. “You don’t have to just stay at the level you start. You can go sideways, you can go up, you can go down,’’ she said. “It gives you the opportunity to build on your skills in slightly different roles, and that has been really, really good. It gives you a bit of variety and diversity without having to go from agency to agency or leave jobs all together. “People like Vicky and I have lasted so long for a reason ... it’s so rewarding, and I don’t think you ever see a staff member that doesn’t find that.” To learn more about Child Protection jobs, visit https://childprotectionjobs.dffh.vic.gov.au/

Traralgon man saves child’s life in heroic act By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

TRARALGON local Reginald Floyd saved an infant from drowning recently. Now, he is asking for parents to remain vigilant near waterways and councils to keep their local’s safe by installing barriers and appropriate signage. It was a warm sunny day in October this year when Mr Floyd was enjoying a day of fishing at the end of Merriman Creek in Seaspray. The picturesque location, where the stream meets the ocean, is a popular spot for families and holiday makers. On this particular afternoon families lined the creek and the surrounding beach, enjoying their time in the sun. Mr Floyd was enjoying his day too, relaxing near the waters edge with a fishing rod. Little did he know, his day was about to be turned upside down. At about 2pm in the afternoon Mr Floyd suddenly noticed a young child at the waters edge unaccompanied by any adults. He said the child was only about six months old and could not walk or even stand up. “The child looked up at me, gave me a beautiful

big smile and then rolled over straight into the water,” Mr Floyd said. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.” He estimates that the water was about four feet deep, and before he could react the infant sank straight to the bottom. “When she went down to the bottom, she was blowing little bubbles up like a yabby,” he said. The 83-year-old hurriedly flung his fishing rod to the side and jumped into the water fully clothed to retrieve the baby. After grabbing her out of the water, he had to fight against the current until bystanders came to assist him. “The current was so strong it nearly took me and the baby away,” he said. After a woman came over to retrieve the infant, a man and woman who Mr Floyd had never met before, helped him out of the water and brought him a towel. The man, named Anthony, was an amazing help to Mr Floyd - who was very appreciative. “This man, Anthony, yelled out ‘you’re a hero’, ‘you’re a hero’,” Mr Floyd said. One of the women who were with the infant came over and took the baby from Mr Floyd. “Whoever it was, they just snatched the child out of my hands ... they said not a word,” he said. “I’d like to think they were shocked.” Mr Floyd said he has been struggling to sleep since the incident, and holds serious concerns about safety around the waterway. “This is something that should never happen ... little children play in that end of the creek, some of it’s only ankle deep but the further you go in the deeper it gets.” Mr Floyd said there was a concerning lack of barriers or signage in the area to prevent children from entering the water unsupervised. He urged parents to take more care, especially over the summer season, and supervise their children at all times. “I want something done about it, to prevent little children from being able to get to that waters edge,” he said. This is not the first time Mr Floyd has saved someone’s life, however. In 1983 he saved two people from a burning flat in Elwood, Victoria. Mr Floyd was visiting relatives when he heard an explosion and saw flames coming out of a window. He ran up the stairs of the building and kicked a door down to rescue two people. He was awarded for his courage and humanity with a Certificate of Merit from the Royal Humane Society of Australia two years later. Mr Floyd said that while it is nice to be recognised, he didn’t do it for the awards or the praise. “I do these things out of common decency towards our fellow man,” he said. Mr Floyd has lived a very eventful life and resided in many places before moving to Traralgon in more recent years. He was born in Wangaratta, and after leaving home at the about 14 years of age, he worked with a travelling showman. “I had a few bob in my pocket, and a case full of nothing. An onion, and a spud I left home with,” Mr Floyd said. “I was just wearing a pair of shorts, some sand shoes and a t-shirt.” He eventually ended up in Traralgon, after moving to the region following work opportunities. “I got into the building trade, my father was a carpenter,” he explained.

Peak Period Unit here to help over another holiday season MORE ambulances are available for lifethreatening emergencies in peak times with a new paramedic team hitting the road in Moe. Ambulance Victoria Gippsland regional director Ross Salathiel said a new Peak Period Unit began operating out of Moe this month. The unit includes two advanced life support paramedics who will be on shifts for up to 12 hours during the branches busiest times. “This will significantly help existing crews to manage demand across afternoons and evenings which is often the time when most Moe residents call for emergency assistance,” Mr Salathiel said. Mr Salathiel said the pandemic continued to have an unprecedented impact on the entire health system. “Moe’s paramedics are working extremely hard to manage the increasing demand while prioritising care to the sickest Victorians,” Mr Salathiel said. “This extra Peak Period Unit will help us meet demand from the growing Moe community and

ensure locals get the right care at the right time when they need it most. “It will make a real difference to our busy paramedics who are dealing with an extraordinary workload, but also for patients during our busiest times.” Latrobe City local government area data shows there was a 14.5 per cent increase in life-threatening Code 1 cases between July and September compared to the same time last year. Mr Salathiel said the boost to rural resourcing was one of the first steps to improve ambulance performance, with 56 new paramedics being deployed in regional Victoria. “This will place additional paramedics and services where and when they are most needed,” Mr Salathiel said. “Helping us overcome the challenges of working in regional areas, such as longer case times and distances required to travel to emergency events and hospitals.”

Generous gesture provides support By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

Giving: Gippstown Cafe created 40 hampers over the Christmas period for TCB Living to Thrive to give to those in need. Pictured are Cheyanne, Imogan and Talia from Gippstown Cafe and Tracy Kippen from TCB Living to Thrive, Moe. photograph supplied

GIPPSTOWN Cafe has made a significant donation to a local family violence organisation. Located in Old Gippstown Moe, the cafe has been accumulating donations over the holiday period from their many supportive customers. Deb Skinner, café manager, wants to thank her “amazing customers” for their generosity and contributions. “The response has been great,” she said. “Many were giving every week when they came to the café.” Ms Skinner created the Share Pantry in early October this year to support local families through difficult times.

In the lead up to Christmas, she decided to support TCB Living to Thrive, in their creation of Christmas hampers for local families experiencing domestic violence. TCB is a not-for-profit organisation, located in Moe, that helps domestic violence survivors and young people transitioning from home. Tracy Kippen from TCB came to collect the donations herself, and was astonished by the community’s and café staff’s generosity. Ms Kippen reported that an estimated more than $200 worth of food items were donated, and a total of 40 hampers were able to be assembled from the café donations alone. The donations included non-perishable

items and some Christmas treats including plum puddings. Allowing vulnerable families to enjoy their Christmas and not have to worry about food. Earlier in the year, local families were invited to register for a hamper via TCB’s Facebook page. “It’s been a really hard time for families during COVID,” Ms Kippen said. “These donations mean that people are going to be able to eat for the next two weeks ... it really does make a big difference, we’ve been really lucky.” In total, TCB created 100 hampers for local families in need, many of which were delivered to peoples homes by TCB staff.

Multicultural services’ launch their COVID memory museum GIPPSLAND Multicultural Services’ (GMS) COVID Memory Museum launched on Friday, December 10. The event was the first opportunity participants had to see the important project they had contributed to. GMS, in partnership with Gippsland Women’s Health, began the project as a way to connect with multicultural women in the Latrobe Valley, helping them to share their experiences during the pandemic. The museum is part of the WoMHEn (Workforce of Multicultural Health Educators) Project, and had multicultural women from all over Latrobe Valley send in images of items or activities that helped them through the pandemic. GMS received a number of submissions, 33 of which were included in the exhibition. “The WoMHEn Project recognises the right of everyone to get accurate

information and are informed in their own language to make health decisions,” said Melanie Brown, Gippsland Women’s Health manager for health promotion. “The project brings local multicultural women together, where they are supported to received vital health information and at the same time are sharing their own experiences and stories.” Many participants and their families attended the event, which provided an opportunity to develop connections with each other and connect through storytelling. Each image was accompanied by a description explaining the participant’s personal pandemic experiences and the meaning behind the photograph. GMS Chief Executive Officer Tania Ryan said the project has been welcomed by females across the community. “This opportunity to share stories and

support one another has been welcomed by our local women. It is so important through these times for people to know that they are not alone,” Ms Ryan said. Arfa Khan, president of United Muslim Sisters of Latrobe Valley, participated in the photo collection with her two young daughters. “It was interesting to showcase how our emotions traveled through COVID and what kept us moving,” she said. “The girls’ drawings were a reflection of acknowledging that COVID has changed our life and we too were introduced to new norms to keep ourselves and our community safe.” The event was also attended by local Nurse Unit Manager Bosede Adetifa from Latrobe Regional Hospital who provided a mental health session for participants. The GMS COVID Memory Museum is set to appear across the Latrobe Valley in local libraries in 2022.

Participants: Anna Fascio and Virginia Swan were among those whose images appeared in the Memory Museum. photograph contributed

Victorians urged to comply with pool and spa regulations Watch out around water: Pool safety is again being highlighted this summer. VICTORIANS should make sure their swimming pool or spa is installed by a registered building practitioner and has a compliant safety fence to avoid tragedy this summer. The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) is reminding homeowners to check that practitioners are registered when looking to install pools and pool fencing. The alert comes after Life Saving Victoria reported that 2020/21 was the state’s highest drowning toll in 20 years.

The VBA’s Executive Director of Regulatory Operations David Brockman said consumers must check that the person they are hiring is registered, with a rise in unregistered people advertising their services through online market places and apps. In Victoria, all swimming pools capable of holding more than 300 millimetres of water must have a compliant safety barrier to restrict access to the pool area by young children. “Making sure a registered building practitioner has installed your pool or

file photo

pool fence is vital, don’t let just anyone be responsible for the safety of your family,” Mr Brockman said. “Just one drowning death is too many, and in Victoria in the last two decades 20 children have drowned in cases where a non-compliant safety barrier has been a factor.” In Victoria, the design, construction and installation of new swimming pools, spas and safety barriers are subject to strict requirements to maximise safety. The requirements include being

constructed by a builder registered in an appropriate category or class. If you’re looking at installing a pool, you will need a building permit before works commence. You may also need a planning permit or other permit. Check with your council about any relevant local laws or any exemptions that may apply. The safety barriers must include selflatching and self-closing pool gates. The standards indicate an outdoor pool or spa area must not be directly accessible via a building. “Individuals and families need to make sure they have compliant safety barriers installed this summer. With COVID restrictions easing and increasing numbers of people congregating in Victorian homes, pool owners must ensure that anybody using their pool can do so safely,” Mr Brockman said. Since November 2020, Victorians must register their pool or spa with their local council. The state government extended the deadline for lodging compliance certificates for owners who had a swimming pool constructed before November 2020. For swimming pools constructed after November 2020, the first certificate of barrier compliance must be lodged within 30 days of the date of issue of the certificate. The VBA has created checklists that owners can use to see if their barriers meet the standards. Visit the VBA website for more information on pool and spa safety. For more information about water safety check the KidSafe website.

THE Lost Dogs’ Home has announced its Top Pets Names for 2021 with tradition back in fashion this year. The data, taken from its adoptions records for this year, revealed Buddy was the most popular name with adopters for dogs while Charlie was the top choice for cats. Last year’s most popular choice for both cats and dogs, Luna, was still a popular choice only falling one spot to second in the past 12 months. The Home’s spokesperson Suzana Talevski said Buddy was a name that celebrates that incredible bond of friendship, so it made sense that more and more people were gravitating to that name, especially with the challenging year most have just experienced. “Buddy is a timeless name for your best friend. With more and more people recognising and appreciating animals as family, Buddy is a name that speaks volumes of the appreciation we have for our doggos,” she said. Cat lovers also favoured an old-time favourite, placing Charlie at the top of the list for kitties. “One of the most popular names during the late 19th century, Charlie is a name that can be used for both male or female cats,” Ms Talevski said. “Charlie is seen as a very friendly name and has its roots in a German word meaning ‘free man’ - though we hope you don’t let your Charlies roam free through your neighbourhood.” Choosing a name for your pet can be a challenging process so the Lost Dogs’ Home has put together simple tips to help if you get stuck: -Choose a name that you feel really makes sense for your dog or cat from a personality perspective … which means you should give yourself some time to get to know them; -Make sure their name won’t get confused with the simple commands you plan on teaching them. Nothing is worse than calling for your dog ‘Mitt’ and having them sit every time they hear you, and; -Only consider names that you’ll feel comfortable calling out when your pet is outside or at the park.

MOTORISTS on the Princes Freeway may be doing a double-take after seeing a bright red Commodore hoisted 10-metres in the air at the Trafalgar Holden Museum. The 2007 VE Commodore was bolted on the pole a few weeks ago to lure visitors into the museum and celebrate one of the last Aussie-made family sedans. Trafalgar Holden Museum volunteer Phil Medburi said the car was purchased from an online auction and transported from Dandenong. Mr Medburi said they had to take out the engine and gear box so as to make it lighter to be lifted up by a crane and bolted onto the reinforced pole. He said it took volunteers about eight months to weld and paint the pole in readiness for the new arrival, with the red car on white pole matching the Holden colours. “You can see it from the highway, it stands out and is great advertisement for the museum. A lot of people love it,” Mr Medburi said. “We had a couple come in last week who saw the car on the highway, and they turned around and back to the museum.” Mr Medburi said the VE was the

Local education program is now open for expressions of interest

LOCAL education program, the Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY) Latrobe, is now open for expressions of interest. HIPPY, a free program, is aimed at assisting parents in learning the skills and confidence to assist them in helping their children become school ready. The 60-week program is targeted at vulnerable local families, and prioritises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the Latrobe Valley. HIPPY focuses on play-based educational activities and uses activity books to deliver the curriculum. The Latrobe-based program is delivered by Anglicare Victoria in partnership with the Brotherhood of St Laurence, and has been operating since 2014. It is open to families that have children who are aged four and are

beginning kindergarten. The curriculum can either be delivered in the home, or another place that the participants are comfortable in, such as a public park. HIPPY is mutually beneficial for parents and children, and even employs parents that have undertaken the program, or are undertaking the program as tutors, providing them with employment and work experience. Many parents who become tutors have either been out of work for a long time, or have not had the opportunity to enter the workforce. HIPPY strives to provide its tutors with part-time, family friendly employment. As part of the program, tutors are given the opportunity to get on the job experience, study, and up-skill. Parent’s employed as tutors are responsible for delivering the program, and work closely with other families each week or each fortnight.

Local woman Jodie Smith is mother and HIPPY tutor to her daughter K’rinda Smith, who was part of the HIPPY graduating class of 2021. Ms Smith is happy with what her daughter has gained from the program. “I started HIPPY in 2020 with my daughter K’rinda, I’m so proud to see her thrive and achieve so much over the past year,” she said. “It has been so great to work with so many young, deadly people and their families.” Michelle Taranto, HIPPY program manager at Anglicare Victoria, said that this year’s graduation is especially important, given the events of the last two years. “Every child, every parent and every tutor who is part of Latrobe HIPPY has worked incredibly hard to get to graduation, and that should be celebrated,” she said. “While COVID-19 has been a real

challenge, the work our families, children and tutors have put in is testament to all they have accomplished and will continue to do so. “We know that each of the eight children in the 2021 graduation class has a head start at school, with families actively engaged with their education, and ready to shine.” Ms Taranto said that the program has a real impact on children who graduate. “We see them enjoying learning, feeling more confident about their abilities and about engaging in learning opportunities everywhere,” she said. HIPPY Latrobe has now opened expressions of interest for the 2022 program. To learn more, or register interest, call HIPPY coordinator Eliza Goyne on 5135 9555 or email hippy.latrobe@ anglicarevic.org.au

THE state government is providing more early childhood jobs in a new program to support this vital sector and provide new career opportunities for Victorians facing barriers to employment. Minister for Employment Jaala Pulford and Minister for Early Childhood Ingrid Stitt recently announced 150 jobs will be created as part of the Jobs Victoria Early Childhood Educator Jobs Initiative. The $2 million state government program, delivered in partnership with Chisholm TAFE, will enable more Victorian children to thrive, improve work-life balance for families and create more secure jobs in the early childcare sector. “We’re making it easier for people to build a career in this vital sector, providing training while workers earn a wage and gain on-the-job experience,” Ms Pulford said. “Targeting sectors that need workers makes a lot of sense and will be a winner for people that have had a tough time securing work - and families.” The focus will be on supporting people who have experienced challenges securing employment during the pandemic, including women aged over 45, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culturally and linguistically diverse Victorians, and young people. Participants will receive on-the-job training, working at early childhood centres and receiving an income while studying a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. The program also provides additional mentoring and supervision on the job.The initiative is supported by the $250 million Jobs Victoria Fund which is creating 10,000 steady and secure jobs for those most impacted by the pandemic. The state government is also releasing its updated Kindergarten Workforce Strategy as part of the $5 billion plan to provide three-year-old children with access to an additional year of funded kindergarten programs. The reform is expected to create around 6000 new early childhood jobs including approximately 4000 bachelor qualified teachers and 2000 VET-qualified educators.

HOROSCOPES by Joanne Madeline Moore

December 27, 2021 - January 2, 2022

Aries Four planets are powering through

your reputation zone, so you’ll be on show on New Year’s Eve for everyone to see. Perhaps you’ll deliver a speech, dance up a storm or wear something that makes you stand out from the crowd? But Venus is still retrograde, so expect some embarrassing hiccups along the way! 2022 is a terrific year to tap into your entrepreneurial side and turn an innovative idea into a prosperous venture. Fortune favours Rams who are bold and brave!

Taurus Bulls won’t feel particularly sociable

on Friday night, as your ruler Venus is still in retrograde mode. So find private, low-key ways to ring in the New Year. 2022 is the year to let go of the past and move onto greener and more productive pastures as the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Pluto and Uranus activate your adventure zone. So get off your beautiful bovine behind and start planning an exciting escape, a heavenly holiday or an ambitious business trip for some time soon.

GGemini With sociable Jupiter moving

into your reputation zone, you’re in the mood to party like a pro. Bright lights and loud music, plus plenty of talking, laughing and dancing … New Year’s Eve was made for gregarious Geminis! But Venus is still retrograde, so you’re also inclined to make insensitive remarks to over-sensitive friends. Watch what you say! As writer Rudyard Kipling (who was born on December 30) reminds us, “Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind.”

Cancer With Venus reversing through your relationship zone (until January 29) you need to be particularly compassionate and patient with people this week. Many Crabs will host a New Year’s Eve party or be a guest at the celebrations of a relative. Either way, the focus is on family and close friends. On Wednesday, Jupiter jumps into your aspirations zone. So 2022 is the year to tapp into your insppiration,, set ambitious goals,, dream big dreams and visualise a fabulous future.

Leo Both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day

look lively, as you feel energised by the Sun/ Uranus trine. Catching up with family and friends will put a spring in your step and a smile on your dial. In 2022 the planets will restructure, broaden and deepen your relationships with loved ones and work colleagues. So your mantra is from singer, songwriter and poet Patti Smith (who turns 75 on Thursday). “Make your interactions with people transformational, not just transactional.”

Virgo g New Year’s Eve should be an enjoyable

nightt but resist the urge to criticise a loved one or close friend. Make it a priority to start 2022 in a positive and fun frame of mind. On Wednesday, Jupiter races into your relationship zone. If you are attached, you have much to learn from your sweetheart and the more you explore new horizons together, the more the partnership will grow. Singles – love and travel are linked, or a friendship could take a surprisingly romantic detour.

Libra Many Librans will prefer a cosy and

low-key New Year’s Eve, as four planets activate your domestic zone. So Home Sweet Home is the best place to be. In 2022, strive to get the ratio right between your professional commitments and your family life. Balance is the key. Remember Venus (your patron planet) is reversing through your domestic zone until January 29. So do your best to be extra diplomatic with frustrated family members, who will test your Libran patience.

Scorpio As 2022 develops, new friendships,

creative projects and social networking are highlighted, as you discover interesting and influential people to add to your peer group. But this New Year’s Eve looks pretty quiet, as the Moon moves through your privacy zone. On Wednesday, Jupiter leaps into your good luck zone. So 2022 is a great year to sell shares or real estate, enter a competition, buy a lottery ticket, visit the casino, win at the races or launch a lucrative project.

Sagittarius g Adventurous, spontaneous

Sagitttarians love the excitement and anticipation of the New Year period, fresh with possibilities for the future. Having a positive attitude means you’ll be a popular host or guest at any function on Friday night. You’ll certainly start the year with a fiery bang and a creative flourish, as mighty Mars transits through your sign and Jupiter (your power planet) jumps into Pisces. You’ll find confidence is the rocket fuel that will take you places in 2022.

Capricorn You’re keen to converse on New Year’s Eve, as you have fun with friends you haven’t seen for a long time. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto are all visiting your sign. But Venus is retrograde, which boosts your positive – and negative – traits. So strive to express your very best Capricorn qualities in 2022. Your motto for the moment is from singer, songwriter and poet Patti Smith (who was born on December 30, 1946). “IIf you feel good about who you are inside, it will radiate.” Aquarius q New Year’s Eve looks amorous andd adventurous, as the Moon lights up your excitable exploration zone. On Saturday your ruler Uranus trines the Sun, which activates your avant-garde Aquarian side and bohemian behaviour. So it’s time to celebrate your unique and contrary Uranian nature. As birthday great Patti Smith observes “Some of us are born rebellious.” Prosperous Jupiter jumps into your money zone, which is good news for your bank balance in 2022.

Pisces Monday is the most creative day of

the week. Some sensitive Pisceans get sentimental (and teary) on New Year’s Eve, as you look back over the highs and lows of the closing year. But Jupiter (planet of good fortune and positivity) storms into your sign on Wednesday – for the first time since 2011! So, it’s time to let go of the past and set challenging goals for the future. And don’t let fear of failure stop you from achieving your golden dreams. Nothing ventured; nothing gained!

Students receive free pair of specs ONE thousand more Victorian students can now see more clearly and concentrate better at school, thanks to the state government’s free Glasses for Kids program. Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing recently announced that 176 students across West Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley were part of the 1000 Victorian students to receive a free pair of glasses after having their vision tested at school. Children with undiagnosed vision problems often find it hard to concentrate at school, which presents challenges when it comes to actively engaging in their learning - but too many Victorian families avoid eye testing due to the prohibitive cost of glasses. The Victorian-first program, which is managed and delivered by State Schools’ Relief, has helped more than 22,000 Prep to Year 3 students at 395 schools across Victoria have their eyes screened and, if needed, receive free glasses. 1141 students across the West Gippsland and Latrobe Valley areas received tests as part of this program. The Victorian Budget 2019/20 invested $1.6

million to deliver the second round of the Glasses for Kids program - supporting students with undiagnosed vision impairments, regardless of their background, to achieve their best at school and beyond. This builds on the $800,000 the state government has already provided to this initiative since coming to government, ensuring a child’s education isn’t disadvantaged by easily treated issues like vision impairment. The second phase of the program means the program will visit an extra 340 schools - testing around 40,000 more Prep to Grade 3 students. Ms Shing said the program would help students immensely. “It’s fantastic to see students across Gippsland having the opportunity to see more clearly thanks to Glasses for Kids,” she said. “This vital program supports the health and wellbeing of hundreds of kids in regional areas, and I’m proud that this government will continue to support the important work that it achieves.”

Tips to handle conflict over the holiday season A FEDERATION University Australia expert in conflict management has prepared 11 useful tips to help people manage family clashes over the Christmas/New Year period. While this time of year is a time of family gatherings and celebrations, unfortunately for many it can also be characterised by high levels of stress and anxiety due to family conflict. Professor of Social Work and Human Services Jennifer Martin warns that the potential for disagreements will be exacerbated this year due to the pandemic. “Much of this conflict at Christmas extends from past unresolved disputes and aggressions or micro-aggressions between family and extended family members,” she said. “A person may dearly want to see some family members, but not others who may be in attendance and are a source of stress or aggravation and even perhaps fear. “Remember you are in charge of yourself and your own behaviours and responses and this includes showing love and respect and being with those who are dear to you whoever they may be.” Families emerging from COVID-19 lockdowns

will not be used to gathering in large numbers and many will need to make decisions on whether to allow unvaccinated people to attend. Add increased family violence during the pandemic and the potential for conflict is very real. The author of Conflict Management (third edition 2022) says that power is a central feature of all conflict situations and an analysis and understanding of the use of power in relationships is essential for effective conflict management. With this in mind, Professor Martin has prepared 11 tips to help manage family conflict over the Christmas period. These include considering setting a time limit on when you arrive and leave and not drinking excessively. Accept emotional responses as legitimate experiences that can be managed rather than as external forces that just happen. Have a plan for conversation starters and topics and games that are positive and fun. Decide what topics you will choose not to engage with. Most importantly, stay safe and look after yourself.

New Haunted Hills Bike Park is up and running FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester officially opened the Haunted Hills Bike Park recently. Mr Chester secured $976,950 for the bike park through the federal government’s Regional Jobs and Investment Package. “The project has delivered 13.5 kilometres of progressive mountain biking trails as well as an asphalt pump track, car park, accessible toilets and a sheltered area for seating,” Mr Chester said. “The opening of the bike park will attract visitors to our region and allow for mountain bike competitions and events to take place locally. “Having such exceptional facilities locally means that people of all ages can enjoy mountain bike riding in an appropriate setting and promotes a different way for locals to keep physically active.” Mr Chester said the completed park is a fantastic tourist attraction for the region. “The bike park is a drawcard to our region and will boost the local economy with visitors stopping in nearby towns for a coffee, bite to eat and to fuel up their cars,” he said. “Well done to all involved but especially Gippsland MTB who have worked tirelessly over the years to get this project underway.” “Stage one of this project was funded by the federal government and delivered by Gippsland MTB Inc in partnership with Latrobe City Council, Energy Australia Yallourn Mine,

Destination Gippsland, and our contractors Trailscapes and HCM Constructions. “Stage two is currently underway and funded by the state government. We also acknowledge the support of many locally employed subcontractors who have helped us to bring this project to fruition. We thank everyone who has been involved in this project for their on going support to deliver this community recreational infrastructure.” Haunted Hills Bike Park Superintendent and Gippsland MTB member Nicholas King said it was fantastic to see the bike park opened. “Projects such as this take a long time to plan and even longer to come to fruition,” he said. “Through various stages of the process, there are back tracks and setbacks followed by periods of progress. It is through these challenging times that the strength of partnerships come to the fore. “We are so grateful to the federal government, our friends at the Gippsland MTB Inc, the Latrobe City Council, Energy Australia Yallourn Mine and of course Destination Gippsland. Along with the contractors Trailscapes and HCM Constructions and a host of other local sub-contractors, the completion and opening of stage one is a case study in collaboration, resilience and vision.”

NEW YEAR’S EVE ABC TV, New Year’s Eve, 8.30pm

FBI 10, Sunday, 9pm

BACK ROADS ABC TV, Monday, 8pm

After the past couple of years, we all know there’s no harm in staying home on New Year’s Eve and enjoying the festivities from the comfort of your lounge room. The dress code can be whatever you want (fancy pyjamas or swimmers?) and the in-house menu can be as select as you like (iced-chocolate or bubbles?). It’s hardly a secret that the best parties are often the ones in your own abode, and this festive special, live from the Sydney Opera House, affords you a spectacular celebration from home. Featuring a line-up of special guests and performances, it’s a winning way to bid farewell to 2021.

Now in its fourth season, this crime drama from producer Dick Wolf (Law & Order) is going from strength to strength thanks to storylines that keep you on the edge of your seat and top-notch production values. FBI agents have a certain element of mystery and intrigue, and you know they are only ever going to handle the really juicy cases. This time, Assistant Director in Charge Rina (Kathleen Munroe, pictured) is critically wounded on her way to work. The team soon discover a vengeful Vargas – the notorious leader of the Durango drug cartel – organised the attack from behind bars and he’s not planning on stopping there.

Packing the car, perfecting the playlist, selecting the snacks, and mapping the route to stop at as many country bakeries as possible that sell Australia’s best vanilla slice (all of them, apparently) is just part of the magic of a road trip. In tonight’s series return, presenter Heather Ewart (pictured) looks at how travel by road has evolved – from the beginnings of mass car ownership of the 1950s to the rise of the grey nomads hitting the highway in their caravans. Heading off from the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia, Ewart shares some of her favourite drives to explore this country’s love affair with the road.

Community Corner with Gregor Mactaggart

Vaccine helpers

A NEW program funded by Gippsland Primary Health Network can help people having difficulty accessing their vaccination certificate or linking it to the Services Victoria app. Both Latrobe City Council and Wellington Shire Council are delivering the Gippsland PHN funded Vaccine Helpers program to assist community members who may be having difficulty with the process. In Latrobe, people can drop into one of the four libraries or the four leisure centres (Morwell, Traralgon, Moe and Churchill) and staff will help. In Wellington, people can call at the Maffra Library, Yarram Customer Service area, Sale Customer Service area (Desailly Street offices), Heyfield Library and Rosedale Library. Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the feedback to date was positive with community members appreciating the assistance. “Some people have sought help to create their MyGov account, set up their Medicare app, download their vaccination certificate, link their vaccination status and even print out a hard copy of their proof of vaccination which is then laminated,” Ms Proposch said. “Community members are also assisted to book vaccine or booster appointments as well. This is often not as easy as it sounds, especially for people who are not familiar with technology. “We are very pleased that many people in the community are taking advantage of this assistance.” Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the program made finding answers to issues arising from the state government’s COVID vaccination requirements easier for the community. “We know that there are people in our community who face barriers to accessing government services or cannot easily navigate the digital maze we are all walking,” Cr O’Callaghan said. “Libraries are a safe, inclusive space where the experienced and patient staff can take the customer through the process of linking certificates, setting up MyGov accounts or even booking a vaccination appointment.” The funding from Gippsland PHN has supported staff with new iPads and printers to help streamline the process. South Gippsland Shire will join this project over the coming weeks. It is hoped other Gippsland councils will also join the program which runs until April 2022.

Play your part this Clean Up Australia Day

AUSTRALIANS are urged to get in early and sign up for the country’s largest community based environmental event, Clean Up Australia Day (Sunday, March 6, 2022) as the

environment feels the effects of a post COVID-19 hangover. The opening of volunteer registrations comes after lockdowns and changed habits fuelled a significant increase in household waste. As Australians are returning to lifestyles of pre-pandemic normality, the last two years have seen significant increases in single-use plastics, alongside unprecedented numbers of face masks, takeaway coffee cups and food packaging littering our footpaths, parks and beaches. Clean Up Australia chairman Pip Kiernan says it’s more important than ever to protect Australia’s unique environment by stepping up on Clean Up Australia Day. “While most of us are returning to living more normally, the environment is still experiencing the impact of the pandemic,” Ms Kiernan said. “Our habits changed during COVID and most of these haven’t been kind on the environment. Surges in online shopping, meal delivery services and the use of disposable face masks and coffee cups, mean the environment is feeling the after-effects of the pandemic in ways not seen before.” The environmental organisation is encouraging volunteers to sign up early to show their commitment to improving the environment. Registration is easy, and all community-based participants receive a free Clean Up kit containing gloves and bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families or groups available. “Clean Up Australia Day is the opportunity to do some good – to roll up our sleeves, get out there and take action.” Ms Kiernan said. “Signing up now means you’re making a pledge to protect Australia’s environment. Together, we can make a meaningful, long-lasting difference to the parks, beaches, rivers and pathways near us.” If you can’t join a Clean Up, Ms Kiernan urges Aussies to make a donation to Clean Up Australia. 100 per cent of funds raised through donations are allocated to the provision of educational resources and clean up materials provided free of charge to community, school and youth groups across the nation, all year round.

Tales of the tailenders

Beamish’s innings calls into question why the 10th wicket can often feel like the hardest one to take.

CRICKET By LIAM DURKIN

UPON arrival at the wicket, the appearance of certain number 11 batsman indicates that the team’s innings will be over in a matter of minutes. As the last batsman trudges to the crease, the other nine players from the batting team are usually confined to the fact they will either soon be bowling or the game will be over. For the batsman at the other end, he knows he will have to farm as much of the strike as possible. A four-two break down is often adopted, if the number 11 can in fact survive two balls. There could well be no point in the number 11 even checking where middle or leg stump is, as the act itself could just be a precursor as to which peg is about to be uprooted by the opening bowler who has come back to clean up the tail. In club cricket there is a certain degree of ‘disgrace avoidance’ that goes on. Those who can’t bowl simply aren’t given the ball by the captain, and those who can’t field are ordered from fine leg to mid-off. For those who can’t bat however - they still have to face the music every now and again. There would be few sports that showcase something as silly as number 11s batting in cricket - sending out the player in the team who is least qualified to do a job against a bowler who has probably already taken the scalps of those higher up the order. True deer in the headlights stuff. Number 11s make for public humiliation and some comic relief - especially if they manage to connect with a few. Most number 11s accept their position. Some are victims of circumstance and bat there because they simply can’t get a look in, or are kids biding their time. In a lot of cases however the quality of the number 11 actually reflects how strong a particular team is. Truthfully, a lot of number 11s would be able to bat at seven or eight, but by batting down the order they inadvertently do what is best for the team in the long run. Moe opening bowler Sam Price played in five consecutive A Grade premierships for the Lions between 2008/09 and 2012/13, yet only batted 34 times in that period. In the 2009/10 season he batted just three times after Christmas and ended the season with a grand total of four runs to his name. With players the likes of Andrew Philip and Rob Phoenix in the top order, the need for Price to actually go out and bat rarely arose. Additionally, as a bowler, what a luxury it must have been for him to arrive to virtually every game knowing he could just concentrate solely on his job with the ball. Former Latrobe first grade captain Brendan Evans went through a similar non-batting phase between 2011/12 and 2013/14. Evans batted just 14 times in 36 games in this period, as he and Price fought for supremacy in the number 11 stakes. Similar to Price, Evans batted just twice after Christmas in 2012/13 as the recognised batsman in Anthony Bloomfield and Kaushik Aphale did the work up top. All-in-all his batting aggregate for that season was five runs. To his credit however he did win Latrobe a game with the bat from number 11.

For one dayers the last wicket generally falls amid an attempt to go for quick runs, but in two day games last wicket partnerships that drag out happen more often than not. Reasons for include a greater emphasis on defensive play and the difficulties in bowling to tail enders of sheer unpredictability. Where the top order player might play correctly and edge a good length ball and provide a regulation catch, the tail ender is just as likely to back away and carve it through the off side. Tail enders are often bowlers after all, so a lot of the time they are just facing themselves and have some idea of what is coming. There are still tail enders who belong in the old school category, those who figure they might as well swing at everything because they are going to get out sooner or later. For a lot of players when they go into bat they just want to slog, laugh, see what happens, and then go out and bowl. But the modern game demands more of tail enders, and especially number 11s. Unless you are an out and out gun bowler you probably aren’t going to help your team by throwing the willow around mindlessly. Genuine number 11s are never going to be very good at facing really fast bowlers, or quality spin for that matter, but they are capable of hanging around. They take balls on the body and most have at least a decent forward defence. If the ball is pitched up around off stump they will shuffle their front foot somewhere in the vicinity of the ball to either block or leave. Bats now have greater hitting power as well so a wild slash can still bring valuable runs off an outside edge. For a team that finds itself involved in a tight run chase, there can surely be nothing more daunting than thinking what will happen if the number 11 comes into bat needing 20 or so to win. One can only imagine how quickly Mirboo North number 11 Liam Smit’s heart was beating as he was padded up during the 2013/14 Central Gippsland Cricket Association grand final. The Tigers were only one wicket away from Smit needing to walk out to the middle. His day: Dale Banks is embraced by Jed Alexander after his innings of 26 not out batting at number 10 guided Mirboo North to a miracle win in the 2013/14 Central Gippsland Cricket Association grand final. file photograph

Chasing 168 against Yallourn North in 2011/12, Evans arrived with the game as good as gone at 9-95. He walked off a hero after top scoring with 45 not out as he and number 10 Adam Duncan put on 77 for the last wicket. While Evans and Price’s credentials as number 11’s are valid, Central’s Marc Fenech would have to take the mantle as the ultimate number 11. Fenech has played close to 200 A Grade games

Strength in the top order: Sam Price batted just five times in the 2008/09 season during Moe’s eight-in-a-row premiership dynasty. file photograph Page 26 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 29 December, 2021

for Centrals - but has only batted in just over half of them. Trafalgar had a bizarre circumstance with their number 11 in the form of Klay Butler from 2006/07 to 2014/15. Butler, who has an A Grade ton to his name, batted at 11 in two premiership teams during that time. It did serve a purpose however on two fronts. Firstly, his role as the sides first choice finger spinner meant he needed to be fresh in order to bowl 30 plus overs, and secondly, can you imagine how opposition bowlers felt when they saw someone with an A Grade ton walking to the crease at number 11? Number 11s and tail enders in general have made a bit of a name for themselves in Gippsland cricket recently. Brent Reside didn’t score any runs for Morwell in the 2017/18 grand final, but his 29 run partnership with Jordan Campbell for the 10th wicket took the Tigers from a competitive 139 to an eventual winning total of 168. Jeeralang-Boolarra’s Rob Beamish had probably his greatest moment with the bat in A Grade when he helped rescue the Panthers in a game two seasons ago. Walking out with the score 9/74, Beamish combined with Stan Urbanic in a 57 run partnership for the last wicket against Trafalgar. Beamish ended unbeaten on 18 to get the score to a tricky total of 131, and also enabled Urbanic to post his half century. Due to wet weather and all other games across the day being washed out, the Ships needed to force a result on day one to make the day count, yet because of Beamish and his 85 minute vigil, they were denied any chance of achieving this.

That game saw quite possibly the greatest innings by a tail ender in Gippsland cricket history. When Dale Banks came in at number 10 the score was 8/200 and Mirboo North needed a further 91 runs to win the premiership. It was light years away. They were gone for all money. Banks went on to make 26 not out in an unbeaten stand with Rob Phoenix, who ended on 125, as the Tigers scampered the winning run in the 100th and final over of the day. For all the hundreds of wickets Banks has taken, it is perhaps that innings for which he is best remembered. Like Banks, every tailender needs their moment in the sun. A nerve-killing win, a never-ending partnership that drives the opposition mad, or a proper score and a chance to experience what it feels like to raise the bat. Number 11’s deserve it for having to suffer everything that goes with batting at number 11. From looking over at the sidelines to see the curator has already got the hose in hand, to getting sledged for playing and missing a ball they literally cannot see, to subconsciously knowing their presence in the middle is not being appreciated by anyone - even the umpires. When he retired, Australia’s perennial number 11 Glenn McGrath was asked by Ricky Ponting what he thought his greatest achievement in test cricket was. McGrath, with over 500 test wickets to his name and a place as one of the greatest bowlers the game has ever seen simply replied “61” - his highest test match score. Those who have never batted at number 11 will never truly know what it is like. It takes a certain type of person to bat last.

Pride advances to Under 21s decider after determined victory over Barwon CRICKET VICTORIAN COUNTRY CRICKET LEAGUE BY LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND Pride won through to the final of the Victorian Country Cricket League Under 21 division after defeating Barwon recently. The Pride travelled to Hoppers Crossing for the match, and successfully chased the 211 set by their opponents. A win seemed highly unlikely at 5/32, but a sublime 86 from number six Henry Anderson (of Sale-Maffra) and supporting totals of 36 and 29 from Joel Brann (Leongatha) and Ewan Williams (Traralgon) saw the team over the line. The bowling effort was highlighted by Nathan Whitford (Sale-Maffra) taking 2/8, Anderson 2/35 and Jonah Serong (Warragul) 2/38. Local representatives were Williams (Rovers Cricket Club), Jack Lynch (Rovers CC), Anu Meenakshi (Latrobe CC) and Blair Clymo (Morwell CC). The Under 21s will play Northern Rivers in the final in late January. Gippsland has been a powerhouse of Under 21 cricket in recent seasons, winning three of the last four premierships. THE Gippsland Under 18 team was also victorious. The team made an emphatic statement in their match against South East Country at Inverloch, scoring an imperious total of 333. Warragul’s Chris Diston hit them to all parts, making 108, with his knock including 14 fours and one maximum. Skipper Max Welsh, from Bairnsdale, joined in on the action, making 89 with just as many fours. South East was never in the hunt in reply and closed at 9/197. Liam Serong (Waragul) took 3/32, Darcy Hume (Leongatha) 2/17 and Bayden Dowsett (SaleMaffra) 2/18. Willow Grove’s Nathan Wheildon represented Gippsland in the match.

TDCA book spot in senior GCL final CRICKET GCL BY LIAM DURKIN

ROUND two of the Gippsland Cricket League saw wins to Traralgon and Sale-Maffra. The results mean the Tornadoes and Sharks have booked a ticket to the final to be played next year. TRARALGON chased down Leongatha’s total of 169 in relatively easy fashion at Scorpian Park. Nat Freitag led the way, scoring an unbeaten 71. Freitag received good support from skipper Lee Stockdale and middle order batsman Jackson McMahon, who chipped in with 26 and 28 respectively. Earlier in the day it was another Freitag who did the damage, as Dylan Freitag reduced Leongatha to 2/2 following a double wicket strike with the new ball. From there, Tom Keily set about resurrecting

the home teams innings, and he was able to do so thanks to a fighting 53. With the score 3/85, the dismissal of Keily gave Traralgon an opening, and they duly capitalised, reducing Leongatha to 6/95 in a matter of minutes. Ryan Williams put up a tremendous rear-guard action, continuing on after Keily and making 62 to see Leongatha reach a competitive total. Michael Warne was the pick of the bowlers for Traralgon, taking 3/33, while Mitch Harris (3/3) and Freitag (2/24) also got in on the act. SALE-MAFFRA and Bairnsdale played out a competitive match at Wy Yung. The Sharks were sent in by Bairnsdale, and the decision appeared to be justified early as SaleMaffra was reduced to 3/32. Steve Spoljaric however weathered the storm after coming in at 2/14, batting through the innings to finish on an unbeaten 78 from 136 balls. Jack Tatterson and Ben Jones also played helping hands, making 37 and 38.

Steve Bertino took 2/29 for Bairnsdale, which included four maidens. The Bairnsdale reply saw a few partnerships of 30 or so runs intersected by the loss of wickets every so often which enabled Sale-Maffra to stay ahead of the game. The home side looked to keep the scoreboard ticking, with Dylan Jordan making 44 from 40 deliveries and Alex Hulme 29 from 28. Daniel Gledhill held things together, making 28 from 55 balls, but in the finish it was not enough as Bairnsdale was bowled out for 178 in the 47th over. Jack Tatterson got one for the mantel piece, taking wickets at bookends of the innings to finish with figures of 5/35 from 8.3 overs. Tatterson trapped three batsman leg before and bowled another in his collection. LATROBE VALLEY and Warragul had the bye. Senior GCL action resumes on Sunday, January 23.

First win for Latrobe Valley women’s CRICKET GCL BY LIAM DURKIN

THE Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League women’s team was victorious in its most recent game of the Gippsland Cricket League. Latrobe Valley made 7/178 batting first against Leongatha at Mirboo North. The efforts of the home side proved to be enough, as Leongatha closed at 6/130. Sale-Maffra was too strong for Traralgon in their match, winning by 79 runs at Sale Oval after posting 2/180 Traralgon never really threatened to chase the runs, but did bat their allotted 40 overs to see things end at 8/101. Ryley Reid batted well, making 41. IN the Under 18s, Leongatha and Traralgon found batting difficult at Leongatha Recreation Reserve. Traralgon won the toss and elected to bat, but was shot out for just 88. Leongatha appeared to be cruising to victory when they were 2/71 in response, however, dramatic scenes followed as a collapse of 5/8 soon saw the scoreboard reading 7/79.

It was mass panic on the sidelines as Leongatha players went from having their feet up to frantically getting the pads on, but in the finish they were able to get home with three wickets in hand. Traralgon skipper Campbell Peavey nabbed 4/17. Ryan Bosch collected 2/60. Latrobe Valley had the bye. TRARALGON and Bairnsdale played out a competitive match at Roger Ries Oval, Toongabbie in day two of the Under 15s Country Week. Bairnsdale batted fist and recovered from 6/46 to punch out a tricky total of 122. Wickets were shared in the Traralgon camp. Hunter Henry took 3/13, Liam Bermingham 3/25 and Tom Duncan 2/9. Traralgon started disastrously with the bat in pursuit of the total, sinking to 3/9 and before too long, 4/16. Some mini-partnerships formed thereafter, but the Tornadoes fell 20 runs short of achieving victory. Lachlan Sword top scored on 31. Leongatha defeated Latrobe Valley at Yinnar. Latrobe Valley batted first, but could only muster up a total of 98. Leongatha had no trouble getting the runs and eventually ended their 50 overs on 6/144.

Oliver McColl took 3/23 for Latrobe Valley, along with Jordan Shields who returned great figures of 2/8 from 8.1 overs. Sale-Maffra defeated Warragul in the other match. The Under 15s will continue their instalment of Country Week on Monday, January 10 2022. In the Under 13s Development League, Warragul got home in a thriller against Traralgon, winning by seven runs at Glengarry. Warragul made 5/148 and Traralgon looked on track to win the match when they were 3/96, but a steady fall of wickets soon had them 7/119. Supporters were kept on edge until the second-last over, but Warragul steadied to take the points. Rivah Conway made 51 for the Tornadoes while Jensen Hodson kept things tidy with figures of 2/3. Bairnsdale got the points over Latrobe Valley at Northern Reserve, Morwell. The visitors made 178 and Latrobe Valley was bowled out for 128 in reply. Brody Stevenson top scored with 31. Liam Urand took 2/20 for Latrobe Valley. Sale-Maffra defeated Leongatha in the remaining game.

Golden Tag competition has been extended FISHING

GIPPSLAND anglers have another year to try their luck at catching a Golden Tag fish worth up to $10,000 with the competition being extended until the end of next year. The state government launched the competition in February 2020 to encourage visitors to Gippsland and the state’s north east following that season’s devastating bushfires. The competition was later expanded statewide to support local businesses following pandemic restrictions. Minister for Fishing and Boating Melissa Horne said extending the competition would help improve tourism rates in regional communities and encourage more people to go fishing more often. “Victorians are back on the road and exploring the best our state has to offer,” Ms Horne said “This includes the countless fishing opportunities. The extension of the Golden Tag competition will ensure this continues.” More than 950 tagged fish are still uncaught across the state, including in local Gippsland waterways such as Mallacoota, Bemm River and Lake Glenmaggie. Gippsland species include flathead, bream, estuary perch, luderick, King George whiting, silver trevally, tailor, and Australian bass. While around Omeo, fishers can target tagged brown and rainbow trout. Gippsland fishers can try to find these tagged fish in the Gippsland Lakes, Lake Tyers, Blue Rock Dam, Dartmouth Dam, Upper Mitta Mitta River, Tamboon Inlet, the Snowy River, and the Victoria River. The majority of fish are worth $2000, however, there are still a number of $10,000 fish up for grabs. The Golden Tag competition is encouraging locals to wet a line in their favourite spot close to home and draw recreational fishing tourism. “We’re enjoying seeing visitors return to the region to make the most of our diverse fishing opportunities, whether it be tasty flathead or sportfish like Aussie bass and estuary perch,” said Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing.

Local football investment set to continue FOOTBALL

THE Strategic Community Investment Fund (SCIF) returned in 2021 with over $1 million in grants provided to help clubs, leagues and regions achieve strategic objectives and provide a platform for sustained success. After multiple COVID-affected seasons, the SCIF has been a vital component in ensuring that community football not only survives, but thrives, in the coming seasons. There was a total of 127 successful applications across the state contributing to funding across a variety of different categories. Some of the major funding areas included: New women’s teams, junior teams, Indigenous programs, umpire recruitment projects, leagues/regions junior development programs and mental health projects. First launched in 2020, the SCIF will provide grant funding of $1.5m per year over three years directly to local football leagues and clubs. The fund is part of the $18 million investment into Victorian community football announced by the AFL in September 2019, the largest investment in community football in the state in more than two decades. The SCIF program will return in 2022. Should you have any queries, please send an email to scif@afl.com.au.

Traralgon duo show age is no barrier on the fairways GOLF By LIAM DURKIN

TRARALGON golfers Dugald Campbell and David Wight are proving age is no barrier. Wight, 75, shot his age recently (73 to be precise), joining Campbell, who achieved the feat at the grand old age of 86 some years ago. Now 94, Campbell still enjoys a round and is showing no signs of slowing down. “I absolutely love it. Half the enjoyment is the golf and the other is the people you play with,” he said. The competitive edge has not waned for Campbell despite being only half-a-dozen years shy of receiving a letter from the Queen, with golf providing him with an outlet to keep his body active and mind alert - as well as a sense of humour. “I hate being beaten, especially by David who is only 20 years younger,” he said cheekily. Although age has limited some parts of his game, Campbell is able to play nine holes thanks to a handicap, and get around the course via cart. The stalwart said the experience garnered from decades of playing also allowed him to get the edge in other departments, such as reading greens, as well as an adaptive approach to the game brought on by various limitations. “I don’t have the strength to be able to accelerate the club like I use to, so I try to keep it on the fairway all the time,” he said.

Impressive: Traralgon Golf Club members David Wight and Dugald Campbell are still actively playing at the age of 75 and 94 respectively.

“Therefore you can almost tough three shots down the fairway and be on the green and knock the putt in so you’ve pared the hole.” For Wight, who plays twice-a-week,

he said it was great to be able to have the chance to continue to be active in sport. “Age is no barrier to golf, everyone has got a handicap and as long as

you can get around and use your cart as you get older you can have a nice social day,” he said. “We’re not going to be Greg Norman’s (at our age), we just go out there and enjoy what we have got.” Few sports link the generations as much as golf, and Wight pointed to people being able to play alongside their children or even grandchildren as one of the greatest attractions to the game. The way in which golfers in their 60’s and 70’s often outdo or even embarrass their younger counterparts adds to the notion that ‘you are never too old’. Wight began playing at Traralgon Golf Club in 1973, while Campbell, astonishingly, started all the way back in 1947. Anyone who has played as long as Campbell wouldn’t do it unless they enjoyed it, and ultimately, his longevity could come down to the fact he is still the same golfer that found a passion for the sport in the 1940’s - he’s just a few years older now. “It is still a most enjoyable game,” he said. “You just have to keep going and accept the fact you can’t play as well as you use to. “We can’t play football anymore so with this (golf) you can, if you can get around the golf course you can play indefinitely.”

Fierce competition at Heyfield Rally RALLY

THE afternoon stages of Heat 2 of the recent Heyfield Rally were make or break for many crews. Some planned to maintain their pace from Heat 1, and some tried harder to gain higher positions. First place went to Darren Windus and Joe Brick. “We overcame a niggling issue then showed its head in the first heat. We persevered and made it through the heat and had a big crack in the afternoon stages and got from fourth to first,” Windus reported. Brick said, “I had a great time. Honestly the second heat was sensational, I couldn’t fault him (Darren). We didn’t think we’d win outright, so this is a bonus.” Second place Eli Evans and Adam Wright have been working on developing the MINI he’s owned and competed in for years. “It hasn’t been out for about three and a half years. About 12 months ago we thought we’d get it back out and do some development work, try and get it on the pace of the ARC and the VRC. The VRC drivers are highly competitive,” Evans said. “The reason we came to this event was to continue the development of the car. The kilometres were crucial, the stages were excellent. It’s a great rally. It’ll be a successful Australian Rally Championship round (next year) I can guarantee it. The roads are awesome, we had an absolute ball.” Third placed Adrian Stratford and Kain Manning were incredibly fast. “The roads were very abrasive. We only brought soft tyres with us and we knew from a couple of ks into the rally that we’d make the wrong choice. We had to do what we could to conserve tyres. We couldn’t do anything for Heat 2 so we just went out there and tried our best,” the pair reported. The event organisers wished to thank everyone involved: the volunteer officials, the competitors and great support from Gippsland tourism organisation The Middle of Everywhere.

Latrobe City Stadium needs attention SOCCER

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is urging all levels of government to work together and fund the redevelopment of the Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium in Morwell. Chester recently met with local soccer community representatives to inspect the site, hear their concerns and discuss the work needed. “Right now this site needs a major facelift to restore it to its former glory and a real opportunity to establish a centre of excellence for soccer in eastern Victoria,” Chester said. “From my inspection the facility needs a lot of work to be brought up to the standard expected of local sporting facilities, especially if the region wants to attract professional teams to the site. “Not only is the venue deteriorating it is becoming increasingly more unsafe, with the user groups having to already restrict access in some areas due to safety concerns and amenities no longer being compliant.” Chester has written to Latrobe City Council to place his support behind funding the project. “I have let Latrobe City Council know that I would support any funding bids submitted to the federal government for this project,” Chester said. “A large infrastructure project of this size requires all levels of government to work in partnership with the sporting community. “I will continue to work with the local community and government counterparts to see this worthwhile and important project for our region funded.” The venues potential cannot be understated, and a masterplan to improve the stadium has been commissioned. If upgraded, proponents believe the venue could host matches for the upcoming 2023 Women's World Cup.

Time for a boost: Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester met with Gippsland Football Club’s Mark Cassar and Football Victoria Regional Development Manager Tony Francis recently to inspect the Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium to discuss the work needed to be done.

Newborough Bowling Club, 3-6 January 2022

Locked and loaded for 25th running of the Classic Singles BOWLS By LIAM DURKIN

THE stage is set at Newborough Bowling Club for the time honoured Energy Australia Classic Singles. Lawn bowlers from far and wide are expected to start 2022 by converging on Newborough for the four-day event which will begin on Monday. Bowlers will vie for not only the title, but also the $12,000 on offer as prize money. The Energy Australia Classic Singles has grown in stature over the years, and is now arguably the biggest bowls event in Gippsland. Speaking of years, the 2022 edition will mark 25 years since the competition was inaugurated back in 1998. The anniversary is sure to give the Classic Singles further gravitas, and might also provide added incentive for players competing in the now quarter-century old event. Event organiser Michael Holroyd said it was all systems go preparing for the big day. “We are very excited. It brings people in at a quiet time of the year and keeps the club rocking and rolling,” he said. “We are a Bowls Australia ranking event. We’re

Tier 3 which is the highest level a club can have.

“You wouldn’t have thought 25 years ago that we would still be going at the same thing.” Holroyd said competition would be fierce across the four days, with no shortage of quality players on display. “We have last year’s winner coming down again, Thor Shannon,” he said. “Nathan Bush who won it a couple of years ago, Neville Brown from Drouin, he won our very first event, Ray Jansen won our second event, so we have people who have been very good competitors over the years. “Wednesday is a tough day - you might have to play three long games on the Wednesday and you have to come up again on the Thursday. “You’ll find that is the difference between the battle-hardened bowler, they can play end after end, game after game, whereas some of our (club member) bowlers would usually play Monday’s and have a day’s rest. In this they have to play Tuesday, so (what happens is) halfway through Wednesday they get tired.”

An inspiring figure, Reynolds has competed in bowls for Australia at the Commonwealth Games as part of the disabled team.

The Classic Singles gives everyday lawn bowlers an opportunity to compete against players the likes of Reynolds, something Holroyd said was enticing. “There will definitely be some good bowlers there,” he said. “It gives the locals a chance to express themselves against the best in the land - they can show how good they are.”

Sectional play will start the event, where 32 sectional winners from there will then play a straight and cutthroat knockout. If players each win a game in their group of three during the sectional, the winner will be decided via countback. As the Classic Singles carries with it status as a Bowls Australian Tier 3 ranking event, it provides points for players aiming to qualify for state events such as the Victorian Open or Australian Open.

Locals will need to be on their game for the entire four days if they are to join the honour roll of champions.

Through the leadership of Newborough Bowling Club greenkeeper Scott Jones, the greens are tipped to be in pristine condition by the time January 3, literally rolls along.

To date, only twice has a local player won the tournament: Drouin’s Neville Brown in 1998 and Moe’s Ian Caines in 2004.

All going well, the 25th year of the Classic Singles will become just a minor anniversary in decades or even centuries to come.

Also making the trip to Newborough will be Australian representative James Reynolds.
