WHERE’S THE DETAIL? Northe calls on state government to release flood review

By MICHELLE SLATER

MEMBER for Morwell Russell Northe is calling on the state government to release the details of an after action review into last year’s flooding and storms which inundated Traralgon.

Emergency Services commissioner Andrew Crisp had called a review into the failures of the warning systems that were in place amid the June 2021 flood.

It meant locals were told to evacuate after they had been flooded-in, and in some cases after it was too late to leave.

The incident review included community interviews and sentiment captured through councils and at Bushfire Recovery Management community meetings.

Mr Northe said he understood the findings had been delayed until next month, but hoped it would include

flood mitigation and improved warning systems.

He was concerned the current statebased warning system needed more input from local emergency services and incident controllers.

“They know the local lay of the land, and it is critical that that advice and knowledge is imparted through an emergency warning system,” Mr Northe said.

“Many residents have told me that the

previous local warning system that was enacted when flooding occurred worked very effectively but this was lost when the system became a state warning system.

“It is imperative, from my perspective and that of my community, that the legitimate issues that have been raised by the community are acknowledged, considered and acted upon.”

Mr Northe also hoped the review would include any medium-to-longer

term flood mitigation measures for Traralgon.

Latrobe City had written to the state government and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority to formally request further investigations for flood mitigation in November last year.

Gippsland wins gold

GIPPSLAND has come out on top at the 2021 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.

Both of the region’s finalists, Destination Gippsland and Pennicott Wilderness Journeys were awarded gold in their categories at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre on Friday, March 18.

Destination Gippsland won gold in the Tourism Marketing and Campaigns category.

The regional tourism board was originally established in 2008 the assistance of local councils, Visit Victoria and Parks Victoria.

The not-for profit public company were recognised for three campaigns undertaken at different times over the last three years, All Kinds of Wonder (the region’s tourism brand), bushfire recovery marketing, and COVID response and recovery (Little Wonders).

Destination Gippsland chair Nick Murray said the organisation is pleased that their work has been recognised at a national level.

“To be awarded the best marketing campaign for any city, region or business in Australia is a great honour and testament to the skills and effectiveness of our team led by CEO Terry Robinson and general manager (of) marketing Alison Conroy, our local government and state partners, and the Gippsland tourism industry,” Mr Murray said.

“I am also so happy to see Pennicott Wilderness Journeys Wilsons Prom Cruise win gold in the New Tourism Business category.

Rob and the team worked for years to launch this very special product in Wilsons Prom and we will continue to support them to attract visitors to the region.”

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys won gold in the New Tourism Business category and Major Tour & Transport Operators category.

Fundraising: The Ride for Relief from Mallacoota to the Mornington Peninsula covered 800km.

photograph ben ackerman

Riders pedal through the Valley PENINSULA Hot Springs’ Ride for Relief tour passed through Traralgon last Thursday.

The six-day fundraising event, an 800km ride from Mallacoota to the Mornington Peninsula, aims to raise awareness around mental health and funds for Mentis Assist, a not-for profit mental health organisation.

Peninsula Hot Springs co-founder and chairman Charles Davidson and his wife Yuki lead the ride each year in honour of Richard Davidson, Charles’ brother and co-founder of Peninsula Hot Springs, who took his own life in 2015.

Richard Davidson was an accomplished environmental scientist and helped to create the vision for the Peninsula Hot Springs.

Originally a one-day ride, this year (its fourth) it expanded to include Traralgon in order to follow the emerging Great Victorian Bathing Trail.

Riders could participate in the six-day trek or choose to do a one-day stretch of the ride.

Six-day riders are challenged with raising a minimum of $3000 for the cause, while one-day riders are to raise $500.

Accommodation and meals are provided for participants, and they are supplied with Ride for Relief branded cycling kits.

So far, the 2022 ride has reached its goal of raising $100,000 and are now setting their sights on $150,000.

Managing director and co-founder of Metung Hot Springs Adrian Bromage said the ride was about promoting mental health.

“The ride has been isolated to the Mornington Peninsula over the last few years, the event has had amazing success ... and the whole philosophy of taking it on the road is about the Great Victorian Bathing Trail that’s starting to be created,” he told The Express.

“They stopped at Traralgon as they use geothermal water ... to feed their pool at the Traralgon indoor recreation facility.”

LATROBE Valley man Michael Salerno, 55, was sentenced to a total of three years for offences committed on a 12-year-old girl in Morwell in 1987.

Earlier this month, Mr Salerno was found guilty of one count of indecent assault and one count of sexual penetration of a child under the age of 16.

On March 23, Mr Salerno was sentenced in the Latrobe Valley County Court to three years jail.

However, 18 months of his sentence was suspended for a period of three years.

He will be added to the Sex Offenders Register for 15 years.

The incident related to the charges which occurred at a Morwell property more than 30 years ago when Mr Salerno entered the bedroom of the 12-year-old girl while drinking at a friend’s house.

He closed the door behind him, got into the victim’s bed and began to sexually assault her.

The girl attempted to fend off Mr Salerno, telling him “no” repeatedly.

During sentencing, Judge John Smallwood said Mr Salerno “showed little remorse or concern” for his victim after the crime took place.

“This girl suffered and continues to suffer,” he said.

During sentencing, the victim - who appeared via video-link - read her impact statement, outlining the effects the 1987 incident had on her life.

She said the crime affected her mental health, physical health and sense of self-worth.

She stated that prior to the incident she was “a happy child”, and after the event she felt “shame, fear, judgement and anxiety.”

“I was petrified of the dark and was scared to fall asleep,” she said.

Rewarding: Traralgon in-home care assistant Ruby Callaghan (right) with her client Rob feature in a Commonwealth campaign to encourage more people to consider a career in caring.

Care at the heart of role

By MICHELLE SLATER

A TRARALGON woman who ditched the world of retail to take up a career in aged care is fronting a Commonwealth campaign to encourage others into the care and support sector.

Ruby Callaghan was working for a big electrical retailer, but left eight years ago after feeling “awful” about her job.

“I was being pushed by the manager to fulfil KPIs by forcing sales onto customers, such as signing up a certain number membership cards a month, or pushing impulse purchases at the counter,” Ms Callaghan said.

“The elderly were the most vulnerable to these sales upgrade tactics, my job was not very fulfilling so I decided to work in aged care instead.”

Ms Callaghan’s switch comes as more people are rethinking their careers, work-life balance and long-term goals, particularly amid pandemic disruptions.

A recent National Australia Bank study found three-in-10 workers indicated they were being pushed away from their current jobs by a lack of personal fulfilment and purpose or meaning.

Ms Callaghan features in a video encouraging others to look into aged care in the Australian government A Life Changing Life campaign.

The campaign shares the stories of the rewarding relationships carers develop in a bid to boost knowledge about the diversity and value of the work, and disrupt outdated perceptions.

Ms Callaghan said she completed a six-month course with a pathway into a local job, which meant she did not have to leave the Latrobe Valley.

She is now working as an in-home care assistant where she has developed great working relationships with the people she cares for.

Ms Callaghan also pointed to the variety of work the sector could lead her into, such as nursing or occupational therapy.

“Instead if feeling like I was tricking the elderly into buying things I was helping them. As soon as I was qualified, I was out there and I’ve been in aged care ever since,” she said.

“It’s nice to hear from my clients when I’ve done a good job, I do my best with them. I thrive off this and look forward to working every day.”

Where’s the detail?

Continued from page 1

In this letter, Latrobe City noted a 2016 study had identified a retarding basin and dam to be included in plans for the Traralgon Bypass as a viable option.

“If this is the case this should be put on the table now along with other possibilities,” Mr Northe said.

Latrobe City councillors had last year come out scathing over the poor emergency management responses, with one councillor describing it as “near bad enough for a Royal Commission”.

Latrobe City has applied for funding through Emergency Management Victoria to help the SES develop a severe weather plan working with lead agencies and the local community.

“We continue to support the work of local emergency response agencies and welcome opportunities to further enhance our local capacity to respond to flood emergencies,” a Latrobe City spokesperson said.

An Emergency Management Victoria spokesperson said the review is being finalised in partnership with agencies, local governments and the community, and will be shared once finished.

Addressing food insecurity LATROBE Health Assembly and Morwell Neighbourhood House’s Peoples Kitchen program have partnered together to research local food insecurity.

The research aimed to identify ways of expanding the People’s Kitchen, and examine ways of tackling food insecurity before the need arises to seek the service’s support.

A number of opportunities were highlighted through the research, and as a result Latrobe Health Assembly are partnering with MNH to begin rolling out new initiatives over the coming two years.

The research was led by Dr Helen Smith of RMIT University and looked at ways to increase access to food for the region’s diverse community.

Latrobe Health Assembly chair Tanya Rong spoke about the goals of the partnership.

“The People’s Kitchen is one of those initiatives that quietly goes about its business of supporting those in need,” she said.

“Our goal isn’t to change the community-focused nature of the People’s Kitchen, it’s to provide its clients with a ‘whole of person’ support package including education and support opportunities outside of MNH, while supporting the immediate food relief where required.

“We are not simply boosting the funding of MNH’s People’s Kitchen, we are working with the incredible team to expand the level of support they offer,” she added.

The partnership will involve the People’s Kitchen,

Foodbank and community garden activities.

It will also offer People’s Kitchen participants access to formal training, skills recognition and vocational qualifications.

MNH coordinator Tracie Lund said the organisation was extremely grateful to the Assembly for the opportunity to partner with them and scale up the People’s Kitchen.

“Programs like the People’s Kitchen work from the presumption that our community is resourceful and resilient,” she said.

“Partnering with the Latrobe Health Assembly allows us to activate our resources to expand our People’s Kitchen.”

A MUCH-awaited youth drug and alcohol residential rehab in the Latrobe Valley has recently begun admitting young people into the centre.

The 20-bed Gippsland Youth Residential Alcohol and Other Drugs Rehabilitation Program in Traralgon is being run by Uniting Alcohol and Drug Services.

The new rehab centre is taking in people between 16 and 21 from across the state to participate in therapeutic programs in a structured residential setting.

Uniting VicTas residential services group manager Adrian Webber said he was looking forward to the centre operating at full capacity.

Mr Webber said young people could access the service through a referral via their healthcare provider or support worker through to the Australian Community Support Agency.

The centre includes consulting, staff and support areas, shared indoor and outdoor spaces including a kitchen, dining, lounge and activity areas. It also operates an outreach support service where a young person can access a case worker to regularly check-in on them and their families they are waiting for admission.

The new centre was part of a $52.1 million investment to build three new facilities in regional Victoria, catering to 900 people a year.

The project was initially announced as part of a 2018 state government election promise before land on the Princes Highway near Latrobe Regional Hospital was secured in 2019.

However, the centre had been stymied by a series of delays, prompting the Opposition to call for its opening as a matter of urgency.

It comes as drug-related offences in the Latrobe Valley had increased by nearly 40 per cent since 2014.

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath pointed out a lack of an adequate amount of detox beds in the area to support the new centre.

“Our community needs responsive action, additional detox beds and this drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility to be open and accessible to all ages,” Ms Bath said.

Major success: The Morwell GovHub building, designed and delivered by Castlerock, has won the company a coveted Urban Developers award. photograph supplied

GovHub earns accolade PROPERTY funds manager Castlerock has won a highly sought-after award for the Latrobe Valley GovHub in Morwell.

Castelrock won an Urban Developers award for excellence in industry leadership through its innovative design and community engagement.

The Urban Developers Excellence in Industry Leadership award celebrates corporate initiatives in workplace diversity, environmental responsibility, philanthropic contribution, or public policy.

Castlerock director Adam Bronts said they were thrilled to be recognised for “out-of-the-box thinking”.

“What I love most about this building is that it’s heart and soul is on show for people to see,” Mr Bronts said.

“There are so many touch points which provide a glimpse into many of the important community engagements and acknowledges what the team worked so hard to pull together.”

Judges looked at Castlerock’s community partnerships with The Torch Program and the

traditional owners of Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation.

Mr Bronte pointed out Castlerock’s commitment to local contractors and products in the GovHub development.

The building features a 99 kilowatt rooftop solar array, EV charging points and zoned music through building.

The GovHub is a purpose-built facility that houses up to 300 government employees including Earth Resources Regulation, Parks Victoria, Solar Victoria staff and a café which is open to the public.

“There’s so much to like about this project. It’s the tiny details that you see throughout the building where you can tell so much thought and attention has been put into it,” Mr Bronts said.

“We even salvaged the floors from a former squash court on the site and reused them in the meeting rooms downstairs, there’s a sign in the foyer paying homage to the courts with a couple of old racquets below it, the team did such an amazing job pulling it all together.”

No to nuclear: The Electrical Trades Union has slammed a proposal to replace the Latrobe Valley’s coal-fired power stations with small nuclear reactors, labelling the move as “dangerous and short-sighted”. file photograph

ETU slams nuclear proposal THE Electrical Trades Union has slammed a proposal to replace the Latrobe Valley’s coalfired power stations with small nuclear reactors, labeling the move as “dangerous and short-sighted”.

It comes after the CFMMEU showed its support to turn the Latrobe Valley into a nuclear region to help stem job losses from the closure of Hazelwood and Yallourn.

But the ETU responded to recent News Corp articles which had been spruiking the benefits of nuclear in the Valley on the back of the CFMMEU’s support.

ETU acting national secretary Michael Wright said nuclear energy was “expensive, hazardous and would take too long to construct” to provide a meaningful transition for the Valley’s workers.

“Plans for nuclear power in Australia are a fallacy. They are dangerous, short-sighted and

only do a disservice to workers who are currently employed in the mining and energy sector,” Mr Wright said.

“Nuclear power stations take literal decades to come online but already can’t compete with renewables and battery storage.”

Mr Wright pointed to events in the Ukraine, in which Russia had been attacking the country’s nuclear power stations, stating “nuclear power is never risk-free”.

He also voiced concerns for the safety of miners who would have to “dig up radioactive material” to fuel nuclear power plants.

“Further, the technology relied upon for the mining union’s plan, small modular nuclear reactors, does not yet exist at a commercial scale.

Currently there is one prototype anywhere in the world,” he said.

“The technology for renewable energy is already available, it is cheap to produce, and wind and solar can come online at a fraction of the time it would take nuclear reactors to produce electricity.

“What our communities and our nation needs is a real plan for their future, not another pipedream.”

Mr Wright instead called upon the federal government to declare the Gippsland coast an offshore renewable energy zone to give certainty to the Star of the South project.

“Renewable energy has the potential to not only support jobs and drive investment across the regional economy for decades, but also spur a green manufacturing jobs boom,” he said.

“Coupled with adequate storage and high-voltage poles and wires, renewable energy will provide cheap, clean, reliable and safe electricity. Nuclear power simply isn’t in Australia’s future.”

Petition aims to axe decision

By PHILIP HOPKINS

A NEW petition - in addition to those organised

by Gippsland-based MP Melina Bath - is calling on the state government to scrap its plan to close the native forestry industry by 2030 and replace it with plantations.

The latest petition is from ecologist James Kidman, from Laver’s Hill in the Otway Ranges, which are located just past Geelong in Victoria’s west.

Mr Kidman’s submission aims to amend the Victorian Forestry Plan to provide for ecologically sustainable production of hardwood timber in state forest.

His focus is on high-value products that comes from the East Gippsland and Central Highlands forests.

His petition joints those of Ms Bath, the Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria, who organised a paper petition at the recent Heyfield Festival that has already registered hundreds of signatures.

Ms Bath’s e-petition is still operating and remains open until August 22 this year.

Mr Kidman, in his 30s, harvests native forest hardwood – specialist timbers supervised by VicForests – which are used for guitars made

by Australian instrument makers and played by Australian and international artists.

He has an honours degree in botany, ecology and conservation from Melbourne University; has worked as a land manager with traditional Pitjantjatjara owners in Central Australia; he collects seeds of locally rare plant species for indigenous species; and has long been a supporter of local environment groups.

Mr Kidman said the state government’s arguments to close the industry “don’t stack up”.

Scientific consensus is that the greatest threat to forest fauna comes from land-clearing, wildfires, invasive species and feral animals, he says, as “to date, no Australian mammals have gone extinct due to timber harvesting”.

“The VFP is largely a political decision,” he said.

“The Andrews Government is taking forest management into its own hands, ignoring advice from experts.

“The plan overlooks the ecological benefits of multi-aged stands (produced by sustainable harvesting) in creating greater biodiversity, ecosystem resilience and adequate floristic complexity for not only threatened species but species in general.”

Mr Kidman has written a comprehensive submission on forestry that is the basis of his petition to government.

His submission concentrates on the forests of the Central Highlands and eastern Victoria, which provide timber for processors in Gippsland, the Yarra Valley and the north-east.

He highlights the overwhelming (98 per cent) influence of bushfires on the extent of old-growth forests and as the largest threat to the habitat of forest-dwelling, hollow-dependent species.

For Mr Kidman, the Victorian plan ignores that society’s connection with timber is as old as humanity.

“The Australian bush is intertwined in our culture; we are part of it. Removing our connection with the wood from the bush is like telling an Australian they shouldn’t be making boomerangs or didgeridoos,” he said.

Mr Kidman’s operation in the Otways selectively harvests about half a hectare of forest, which produces about 60 cubic metres of Blackwood timber.

“This method of timber harvesting creates light wells to encourage natural regeneration and can promote the establishment of rainforest species,” he said.

The timber is used to produce material for more than 6000 guitars from local and international luthiers.

Australian musicians using these guitars include Paul Kelly, Archie Roach, John Butler, Shane Howard and John Williamson.

The submission covers a range of topics, ranging from old growth forest, threatened species,

traditional burning, biodiversity and disturbance, fire, Victoria’s high biodiversity protection, regional forest agreements, misinformation fuelling the anti-logging narrative, and the transition to plantations.

For example, Mr Kidman emphasises that in ecology, an intermediate level of disturbance plans a key role in increasing biodiversity, species richness and ecosystem resilience.

“Small-scale disturbances are essential for species recruitment, fresh food and habitat. As long as timber harvesting fits within these ecological parameters, it can serve to benefit the environment and increase biodiversity,” he said.

“It is delusional to think that by excluding disturbance from the bush we will be protecting it.”

He cites the importance of ecological thinning.

“It can be used as a tool to accelerate old-growth characteristics, reduce drought stress on canopy trees, reduce the risk of fire-induced mortality, remove understorey fuels, create conditions suitable to re-establish indigenous burning techniques, maximise biodiversity through mosaics and generate revenue, timber products and carbon storage as biproducts,” he said.

The submission criticises prominent academic authors who he maintains have published misleading statements on timber harvesting, and also many environmental non-government organisations who are anti-logging activists and ignore concrete, scientific solutions to forestry issues.

“I have been a member of a couple for over a decade,” he said, but their fight to cease timber harvesting “is extreme and unjustified”.

“It is disheartening to see lead spokespersons from some organisations informing forest management investigations despite having no relevant qualifications in ecology or conservation.

“Their louder misguided voices have gained unwarranted attention in the current political climate.

“This combination of misinformation and litigation attempts has likely been a strong influence for the extreme measure of the VFP.”

Country Press Australia welcomes findings of recent inquiry THE Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts has concluded its inquiry into Australia’s regional newspapers.

The report, The Future of Regional Newspapers in a Digital World, has been presented to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and is available on the inquiry webpage: https://www. aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/ House/Communications/Regionalnewspapers/ Report.

The Committee made 12 recommendations for the federal government to consider.

These recommendations include considering the viability of a tax rebate for regional news businesses and the development of a targeted grants program aimed at small, independent newspapers based in regional and remote Australian communities.

The Committee recommends the federal government review government advertising expenditure across all departments and agencies with a view to ensuring a minimum of 20 per cent of government print advertising is placed in regional newspapers.

Country Press Australia (CPA) president Andrew Manuel has welcomed the positive findings from the Federal Parliamentary Inquiry into Australia’s Regional Newspapers and has called for bi-partisan support for the implementation of its recommendations.

“This has been an important and productive inquiry, and the findings can make a real difference to help sustain independent regional news services into the future if implemented,” Mr Manuel said.

The recommendations made by the Committee include ensuring 20 per cent of government print advertising is placed in regional newspapers, and that the government considers the viability of a tax rebate for regional businesses that support their local newspaper.

An important recommendation the Committee concluded is “that the Australian government develop a targeted grants program aimed as small, independent newspapers based in regional and remote Australia communities”, which aligns to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Final Report of June 2019, recommendation 10, which called for a targeted grants program that supports the production of original local and regional journalism.

“Regional newspapers are the perfect medium for reaching many regional Australians with

important government messages, so it’s a wise and welcome recommendation to ensure more government advertising is placed with our local independent publications,” Mr Manuel said.

He said that he expected broad political support for the recommendations due to the wide and diverse range of voices heard by the inquiry.

“There were clear and consistent themes presented to the inquiry and at the very top of that list is how important having a local independent news service is to regional communities,” he said.

The chair of the inquiry Dr Anne Webster noted that “regional newspapers are about regional stories and are a shared community experience” and that, “as newspapers close, readers are pushed towards social media for their news, which increases Australians’ exposure to misinformation and creates a disconnect in communities”.

The Traralgon man behind THE LUME

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

“We’ve seen that large numbers of people have embraced THE LUME in Melbourne ... those people were craving escapism, and something beautiful - something that took them away from everyday stressors and took them to a place where perhaps an artist or a musician went and got that enjoyment, presented to them in a way where they could have their own experiences and try and engage a little bit how an artist may have wanted them to engage in that artwork.”

Mr Peterson said more LUME’s will appear across the world in the near future.

“We’ll continue to tour... we are opening THE LUME Los Angeles next month, we already have a LUME in Indianapolis in the US, and of course Melbourne, and we’ll have another one in Seoul, Korea at the end of the year,” he said.

TRARALGON man Bruce Peterson is the founder of the popular exhibition ‘THE LUME Melbourne’.

Mr Peterson spent much of his young life in the Latrobe Valley, attending Traralgon High School and playing sport across the region.

After graduating high school, he studied teaching and became a physical education teacher for five years.

He eventually decided teaching wasn’t the profession for him and moved onto different endeavours.

Mr Peterson is now the founder of Grande Experiences, a Melbourne based company that “turns exhibitions into experiences”.

The company is responsible for more than 210 experiences across the world in more than 165 cities.

Since THE LUME’s opening in 2021 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, it has been a popular attraction for locals and tourists.

The exhibition showcases the works of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh through a digital gallery.

The 360-degree experience aims to immerse visitors with specially curated tastes, aromas and a choreographed soundtrack.

Visitors can even enjoy a beverage and a bite to eat as part of the experience.

This unique display of art and culture was inspired by an observation Mr Peterson made while in Italy with his family in 2006.

“We were going to all the major museums, and I thought ‘what a great opportunity for the kids to get engaged in art and culture’,” he said.

However, he soon noticed that his children, where not engaging in art the same way he and his wife were.

“We (Grande Experiences) were an artefact based exhibition company, creating traditional exhibitions ... but then I started to see adults disengaging in the same way as the kids, and that started me off on a pathway of understanding that we aren’t delivering art and culture to a mass audience the way that mass audience wants to engage.”

THE LUME allows people who would not ordinarily access or enjoy more traditional exhibitions the chance to get engaged.

“I think people are just better for having it (art and culture) in their life, and I think COVID has shown that too,” Mr Peterson said.

Art festival promotes mental health

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

THE Show Me Some Art Festival is being held on the first weekend of April this year.

In its second year, the festival at Moe Botanic Gardens fundraises for Lifeline Gippsland and Beyond Blue while showing off what Moe and surrounding areas have to offer.

Show Me Some Art Festival is a product of a partnership between Bechaz Art and Moe Apex, and is funded by local community groups and businesses.

The festival will host more than 50 art and craft style stalls, food trucks, live music, workshops and much more.

Attendees will have the opportunity to view event organiser, Steve Bechaz, murals scattered around Moe and Newborough, participate in a 5km colour fun run and a ‘Monster Raffle’.

Mr Bechaz said that the festival’s second year will see its fundraising achievements reach new heights.

“Our aim is to reach $10,000. We are doing really well so far this year because of how big it’s gotten. Last year I had an aim of $5000 and we got to $6000,” he said.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

Mr Bechaz said the event is intended to be uplifting for locals and visitors and attract more people to the area.

Magician Nigel Anderson will be making an appearance at the festival and there will be a tennis match with a twist - players will be dressed up in humorous costumes.

Lifeline Gippsland representative Vicki Rice thanked Mr Bechaz for raising awareness for Lifeline Gippsland and mental health.

“Our mere presence relies on people like Steve, who has done an amazing job,” she said.

“The people that are benefiting from it are the people in the community.”

Ms Rice said Lifeline has been experiencing an influx of telephone calls since the beginning of COVID. “People have lost their jobs, and are experiencing financial hardship,” she explained.

She hopes the festival will draw attention to Lifeline, Beyond Blue and bring mental health into the forefront of people’s minds.

A Beyond Blue spokesperson said the festival’s support will help them continue to help Australians.

“We are so moved by the festivals choice to support Beyond Blue through such a thoughtful, creative and community centric event,” they said.

“Your incredible contributions go towards our Support Service, ensuring we can continue

providing 24/7 mental health support, advice and care options for all Australians.”

The festival will run over this coming weekend.

Saturday, April 2, 12pm to 8pm, and Sunday, April 3 12pm to 6pm.

Presentation pays tribute to Captain Green

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

MORWELL RSL staged a presentation on the life of Captain Ian Green last week.

The presentation was given by Lieutenant Colonel (R) Alistair Capp - a military historian and great nephew of Cpt Green.

A number of people showed up to the Morwell RSL to learn more Captain Green’s life and death.

In attendance were the general public, members of Morwell Historical Society and Members of the RSL, including RSL president Wayne Hutchinson.

Lt Col Capp gave an in depth account of his relative’s life in Morwell and Sale - information he gathered while he while writing a book on him during COVID lockdowns.

It took him about a year to research and write.

The book is intended primarily for his own family.

However he has provided a copy for the Morwell RSL and Morwell Historical Society.

Lt Col Capp’s comprehensive research revealed much about Cpt Green’s childhood, family life and even courtship and engagement with a woman he met while in Sale.

The son of Arthur and Katie Green from Morwell, Cpt Green was born in 1911 and attended Morwell State School.

He was then awarded a scholarship to Scotch College in Melbourne and boarded there until he left school in Year 11.

Remembering Captain Green: Morw rwell w Historical Society (MHS) secretary Shirley Prosser, MHS member Rob de SouzaDaw, Lieutenant Colonel (R) Alistair Capp and Morwell RSL president Wayne Hutchinson at the Morw rwell w Cenotaph.

After finishing school he joined the Militia and worked as a bank clerk in Melbourne.

He was eventually transferred to Sale, where he worked when he enlisted.

Here he was very involved in the community, often participating in local sports. Cpt Green’s name reportedly appears numerous times in the Gippsland Times sporting results.

From his research, Lt Col Capp garnered that his relative was regarded as “friendly, outgoing and popular.”

Lt Col Capp discovered firstperson accounts at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra of his great uncle’s death from the men who were there when it happened.

The detailed accounts allowed him to carefully piece together the events leading up to his death and his final moments.

Lt Col Capp said he hoped his relatives, especially the younger members would be able to use his book to help them remember Cpt Green on Anzac Day. Morwell Historical Society secretary Shirley Prosser thanked Lt Col Capp for his presentation and research.

She also thanked Morwell RSL for hosting the event.

“It is pleasing to know that we have a street named after him,” she said.

Green St is located in the housing estate on the other side of Princes Drive across from Morwell McDonald’s.

It intersects with Satelberg St.

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore March 28 - April 3, 2022

Aries Restless Rams are ready to charge off in exciting new directions, as the New Moon lights up your sign on Friday. So, it’s the best week of the year to percolate ideas, make plans and be proactive. But the week starts with the Venus/Saturn conjunction in your hopes-andwishes zone. So, avoid the temptation to get carried away, over-promise and then underdeliver. If you fail to follow through on your fabulous intentions, then everyone will end up feeling disappointed.

Taurus The New Moon lights up your

seclusion zone so you’re keen to meditate, contemplate, ruminate and rejuvenate. But don’t use it as an excuse to hide away and escape the challenges of the world. On Monday and Tuesday, taskmaster Saturn hooks up with your patron planet Venus in your career zone. So, there are ambitious goals to set and professional standards to reach. Which will require hard work, patience and persistence. No snoozing on the job, Bulls!

GGemini The current planetary aspects help you communicate your ideas with extra passion and power, as you link up with likeminded friends and influential people at work and within your peer group. But don’t get so stirred up and side-tracked that you lose sight of the authentic Gemini within. Be inspired by singer Celine Dion (who turns 54 on March 30): “What do you need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected and emotionally balanced?

Look within yourself.”

Cancer Avoid being a lonesome Crab!

This week professional projects and creative collaborations with colleagues are favored, as you spark ideas off each other and pool your talents to produce something special. The New Moon and Mercury increase enthusiasm and encourage rebooting a rickety work relationship that’s been experiencing problems. Venus and Saturn also helpp a union move to a deepper and more satisfying level. Close consultation is the key.

Leo Are you in the process of making an

important decision? A parent, teacher, mentor or close friend has some wise advice for you.

Listen closely to what they say and then let your intuition be your guide. Coupled Cats – Venus and Saturn hook up in your romance zone, so work hard to make the relationship even better.

Single Lions – you will find your soulmate, as long as you are realistic. (Remember, the ‘perfect’ partner doesn’t exist - everyone has flaws!)

Virgo g Some interpersonal challenges are

likelyy (especially with loved ones or work colleagues) so straightforward speech is recommended this week. You’ll get the best results if you research something thoroughly (with your Virgo x-ray vision) and then tell it like it is. Other people will appreciate your direct and no-nonsense approach. It’s also a good time to read a detective story, uncover a secret, solve a puzzling problem or get to the bottom of an intriguing mystery.

Libra Is a close relationship stuck in a

rut? This week the New Moon and Mercury encourage you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. Attached Librans – are you doing all the giving, while your partner is doing all the taking? Singles – look for someone who is creative and kind. But how well do you really know your nearest and dearest?

It’s time to dig deeper and gain valuable insights into the inner motivations of a friend or family member.

Scorpio p Courtesy of the New Moon, it’s a good week to review your physical well-being and fitness levels. Can you introduce healthier food choices, stop bad habits (like smoking) or reboot your exercise program? Get moving and make a dynamic start! Avoid the temptation to operate on autopilot. If you shake up your daily routine, then it will put an extra spring in your Scorpio step. But a relationship with a family member could involve you taking on more responsibility.

Sagittarius g Sagittarians can be

selfissh, self-indulgent souls. With the New Moon spotlighting your leisure zone, you’ll be preoccupied with your immediate entertainment wants and personal pampering needs. However, over the coming year, you’ll shift your focus further afield, as you make some important decisions about your place in the wider world.

Saturn will teach you that social responsibility and community involvement are just as important as individual priorities.

Capricorn p This week’s fiery New Moon activaates your domestic zone so it’s a good time to declutter and tweak the feng shui at home, support a family member or get stuck into a DIY project. There’s also a conjunction between Venus and your power planet, Saturn. So, make sure you are clear and concise in the way you communicate with friends, work colleagues, clients and/or customers. And don’tt be afraid to take on professional and financial challenges.

Aquarius q Curious, quirky Aquarians are

keenn to ricochet off in diverse new directions.

Which is exactly how it should be, as you explore and experiment to the max. And don’t worry about making messy (or embarrassing) mistakes along the way. Keep stretching your wings, trying new things and being the authentic you! Your inspirational quote is from singer-songwriter-musician Emmylou Harris, who turns 75 on Saturday: “Normal is a cycle on a washing machine.”

Pisces The New Moon lights up your cash

zone, which signals a fresh financial chapter. So, the more proactive and informed you are about money matters, the better your fiscal future will be. Strong self-esteem is also a priority this week, Pisces. Try to get the balance right between quiet relaxation and vigorous work.

Your motto is from French writer Emile Zola, who was born on April 2, 1840: “The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.”

Greater Gliders thrown a lifeline in Latrobe region THE ranges south of Latrobe City contain the state’s highest densities of the threatened Greater Glider, according to population counts.

Latrobe City is joining Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network, Federation University and Greening Australia to study and strengthen Greater Glider possum populations in the region.

Victorian Biodiversity Atlas records reveal that the populations of these species remain low, with the black summer bushfires taking a further toll on numbers in east Gippsland.

But Greening Australia found 118 Greater Gliders in the southern parts of Latrobe City and South Gippsland Shire, representing some of the highest densities known in Victoria.

The project will roll-out 25 custom-designed nest boxes in a section of bushland south of Boolarra to be monitored with digital cameras to see how they are being used.

Latrobe City mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the discovery of the Greater Gliders on the outskirts of Boolarra highlighted the richness of biodiversity to be found in the municipality.

Cr O’Callaghan said council’s community vision highlighted nurturing the local natural environment, with key actions to improve and

protect biodiversity, waterways and bushland reserves.

“Members of our community would not likely have been aware that such a rare and impressive native animal lives in our municipality,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

Federation University PhD student Cassey Briggs will document the presence of the species to better understand population sizes, their range and estimated family groups.

The project will also bring together local schools and community members to participate in surveys and spotlight tours.

Latrobe Catchment Landcare Network facilitator Marnie Ellis said nest boxes will support the growth of healthy populations by alleviating the threats posed from a lack of suitable tree hollows.

“Results from previous programs have shown that these nest boxes also have potential to support a variety of other native animals such as owls, parrots and possums, which will be a positive consequence to the project,” Ms Ellis said.

The project is supported by a $50,000 CommunityVolunteer Action Grant from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Local lunch connects generations

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LAST week, the Baw Baw Latrobe Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) delivered the Inspiring Young People in Out of Home Care lunch for the first time.

The aim of the lunch is to connect young people in out of home care to adults who work within the community. It provided young people an idea of career pathways and possibilities through knowledge sharing and communication between generations.

The event took place at the Italian Australian Club in Morwell on Tuesday, March 22, and was attended by a variety of young people and adults living and working in the region.

Each table was assigned a mixture of adults and young people, strategically curated into groups so that young people were paired with adults working in industries they have expressed interest in.

AGL Energy sponsored the event and the company’s senior specialist of Community Relations Shaun Mallia was the emcee.

Casey Murphy from Quantum Support Services was the guest speaker.

She spoke of her own struggles growing up and the challenges she had to overcome to get where she is today.

“While I was going through school teachers would view me as problematic, instead of actually sitting me down and asking me ‘what’s going Casey’ ... they sort of just ignored me,” she said.

“I actually left school at 14-years-old and I worked at the Poowong abattoirs. I worked there for 14 years.”

Eventually, Ms Murphy decided to continue her education and completed a Diploma of Community Services before joining Quantum in Morwell.

Ms Murphy encouraged young people to not be afraid to ask for help, to not let anyone tell then that they’re not worth it and to after their goals.

“Even if you’re just going to school once a week - just put one foot in front of the other and keep going,” she said.

Inspiring: Casey Murphy from Quantum Support Services told attendees about her life. photographs alyssa fritzlaff

Students from several schools across the Latrobe Valley and Baw Baw Shire attended.

Many took the event in their stride and could be seen seeking out adults to learn about career paths.

Baw Baw Latrobe LLEN executive officer Lisa Price thanked AGL for their sponsorship and commended the young people for approaching the event in a positive way.

“To our young guests, thank you for coming.

It’s not always easy to come into a room with people you don’t know,” she said.

“Thanks for being brave and coming along.”

Revamping Gippsland’s waste and resource recovery THE good news is, when it comes to litter, most people do the right thing, most people dispose of litter properly.

Extensive research on littering behaviours undertaken by social researchers Community Change, finds that two-thirds of people put their waste in a bin.

According to Resource Recovery Gippsland’s executive officer Matthew Peake it’s important to acknowledge community, local government and industry efforts in dealing with waste responsibly but the bad news is that the litter and illegal dumping that does occur costs the region economically, socially and environmentally.

“In research we conducted in 2019, it was estimated that providing services, such as public bins and litter traps, to maintain clean towns and to clean up dumping and litter across Gippsland is

a real cost to the community at nearly $2.8 million annually,” he said.

“If we add the cost of street sweeping, which includes sweeping up litter as well as leaves and other organic matter, the cost rises to nearly $4.6 million.”

Community consultation across the region, a key contributor to the research, identified that the top concerns for locals when it comes to litter and illegal dumping were the hazard it caused to marine life and the environment, its impact on community appearance, and the risk of flooding due to litter blocking drains.

Those surveyed also identified beaches, roadsides, rivers and creeks, and public events as sites where litter is most prevalent, with fast food packaging, plastic bags, drink containers and cigarette butts high on the list of offending items.

“Unfortunately, single-use masks would now be on the litter list and are an item of concern worldwide,” Mr Peake said.

“In fact, the United Nations has estimated that approximately 75 per cent of used masks, gloves and other pandemic-related material will end up in the environment or as waste in landfill.”

Although essential to public health and safety since the onset of COVID-19, most of these singleuse items are made of plastic that can’t be recycled.

As a growing source of pollution in the environment, they must be disposed of properly in a waste bin.

Resource Recovery Gippsland board chair Dick Ellis said it is timely the focus of Clean Up Australia Day’s citizen science project was mask pollution.

“The project’s banner of ‘Unmask Australia’s Litter Problem’ says it all, as data collated from the litter gathered by volunteers around Australia

will shed light on the impact of this waste stream on the environment and economy,” Mr Ellis said.

“The more that’s known about litter, the greater the opportunity for targeted education and prevention and the greater the prospect of the information contributing to design and production based on sustainable, circular economy principles.”

Along with participating in events such as Clean Up Australian Day, a great way to help minimise the impact of litter and illegal dumping is to report sightings directly to your local council or use a reporting app like snapsendsolve.com.

Environmental pollution and litter thrown from vehicles can be reported to the Environment Protection Authority online at epa.vic.gov.au or by calling 1300 372 842.

If you have concerns about a disability worker you can tell us The Victorian Disability Worker Commission has launched a new campaign encouraging people to make contact if there are concerns about a disability worker’s behaviour or quality of work.

People with disability, their families and carers might feel nervous about raising a concern however the Commission has a skilled and friendly team to assist callers.

The service is free, confidential and available to everyone.

Victorian Disability Worker Commissioner Dan Stubbs said that no matter how big or small a concern might be, if something doesn’t feel right about a disability worker, the Commission’s team can listen to the concerns and act if required.

“As we hear the stories being told at the Royal Commission into abuse and neglect of people with disability, we are reminded how critical it is to protect vulnerable people from harm and neglect by stopping people who pose a serious risk of harm from providing disability services,” Mr Stubbs said.

“I know most disability workers are highly committed and provide excellent care to people with disability.

“However, we know there are times when people will have concerns and even when people with disability can be harmed. So if you have any concerns about a

disability worker, our team is here to listen, help and guide you as we understand it can be difficult to take the step of contacting us.

“It’s important that people with disability feel safe with their disability worker and sharing a concern or making a complaint can help improve the standard of disability workers and quality of care for everyone. We will work with you or your advocate on the outcome you’d like to achieve.”

The Commission’s team can deal with complaints about any disability worker in Victoria, regardless of how they are funded or how the disability worker is employed.

All Victorian disability workers are required to comply with the Commission’s Code of Conduct and registered workers must meet set standards for safety, skills and professionalism.

The safeguards are part of the Government’s zero-tolerance approach to neglect and abuse of people with disability, developed in response to recommendations of the Victorian Parliament’s 2016 Inquiry into Abuse in Disability Services.

The Commission team can be contacted about a concern or complaint by calling us on 1800 497 132 between 9.30am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, meet us face to face or mail us at

VICTORIAN DISABILITY WORKER COMMISSIONER DAN STUBBS Level 20, 570 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, via the website vdwc.vic.gov.au/complaints, through in-language interpreters and via the National Relay Service 1300 555 727 or SMS 0423 677 767.

In addition, the Commission runs regular information sessions.

Full steam ahead at Railway Reserve OVER the past 30 years the Traralgon Railway Reservoir Conservation Reserve (TRRCR) has been transformed from a barren grazing paddock forgotten by time into an historic gem of Latrobe City.

The development of the former steam train supply site is the pride of the volunteers behind its restoration.

A series of upgrades delivered by Latrobe City Council included constructing a new assembly building –incorporating a meeting room, kitchenette, accessible toilet and storage space - and a new accessible toilet on the main trail.

The facilities come as a major enhancement

for the stunning wetlands reserve and its steady stream of visitors, numbering more than 2800 each week with a peak of 3200 per week during COVID restrictions.

“The Traralgon Railway Reservoir Conservation Reserve is a true gem of Latrobe City enjoyed by hundreds of local walkers and runners, nature lovers, photographers, school groups and visitors day in, day out,” Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said.

“Council is proud to partner with the LVA, state government and Friends of the Reserve to deliver another great outcome for local community groups and users of this beautiful space.”

It also means a new home for the Friends of

the TRRCR to maintain 32 hectares of native Australian bushpark and deliver education programs to a range of groups from pre-schools through to universities and community groups such as U3A, Probus, Landcare, Lions, Rotary, photography and running clubs and more.

Committee member Gary Deane said the upgrade would hold the group in good stead for decades to come.

“The new facility has allowed us to securely store machinery and equipment as well as having a home base to set off for working bees, with tools and safety equipment to fulfil the duties allocated on the day,” Mr Deane said.

“The meeting room component is a real boon, allowing our committee to meet regularly as well as supply a base for educational visits from groups such as local schools throughout Gippsland.

“We assist with talks about the history of the reserve and supply relevant material relating to scientific surveys done on the flora and fauna and aquatic life throughout the reserve.”

Local contractors Langden Constructions and Kingbuilt delivered the assembly building and accessible toilet respectively with $435,000 in funding from Latrobe Valley Authority, Latrobe City Council and Friends of the TRRCR, including sponsorship from Loy Yang B.

Cub Scouts from across Gippsland ride the Moe Yallourn Rail Trail

Dynamic duo: Liam Henry and Holden Tilley from 1st Newborough ready for the ride.

Out and about: Churchill cubs on the trail.

CUB Scouts from across Gippsland gathered for a Jamboree on Pedals day on Saturday, March 19 at the Moe Yallourn Rail Trail, riding from the Moe Botanic Gardens to the Yallourn Power Station after a skill development course.

From 1st Drouin to Bairnsdale, youth gathered from communities across Gippsland to receive practical help and great advice from the Scout Cycling Team, and while many Cub Scouts had travelled to the event, local faces were present from 1st Moe; 1st Newborough; 1st Trafalgar, 1st Churchill and 1st Glengarry.

Approximately 100 Cubs (aged 7 to 11), and volunteer leaders from across Gippsland participated in completing cycling activities in Moe and then the ride on the rail trail in the beautiful Saturday weather.

The Outdoor Adventure Skills framework of Scouting promotes youth members’ exploration of, and progression through key outdoor pursuits and is a large part of the program at all of Gippsland’s Scout groups.

ELIZABETH MILLER

Share your stories of hospital stays EVERYONE has a story to tell, sharing your story about your hospital experience can help make patient care better and inform health professional’s practice.

The perceptions and experiences of patients and their family members who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness (eg: cancer, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, liver or neurodegenerative diseases) is being used to form the data in a PhD study by Elizabeth Miller (pictured).

Her topic is examining the ambience and aesthetics of the hospital environment and the language and conversations held with health professionals.

Data is being collected by interviewing patients and their family members about their experiences to inform care that is patient focused and based on the latest evidence.

Ms Miller has embarked on this larger research project after completing her nursing (Honours) degree in 2019 which examined the role of carers who were providing palliative or end-of-life care in their homes in Gippsland.

Nine women were interviewed and provided insights into how they undertook their caring role, how they navigated the health care system, the benefits of engaging a community palliative care service and the importance of supports.

In May 2018, Ms Miller was awarded the University Medal for outstanding academic achievement from Federation University and completed her nursing graduate year at Latrobe Regional Hospital.

If you would like to participate or find out more about Ms Miller’s PhD research project please call 4313 7970 or email elizabethmiller@students. federation.edu.au

Family legacy at the heart of new exhibition

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

YINNAR’S MatchBox Gallery is hosting The Barbara’s – Connection Exhibition until April 3.

The exhibition showcases the work of the local Barbara family across four generations.

Each piece was carefully curated by Gilio Barbara, whose family immigrated to the Latrobe Valley when he was a child.

Mr Barbara’s father Joseph Michael Barbara worked for many years as a sculptor in Malta, Europe and studied at the Academy of Art in Valletta, Malta for four years.

According to his son, in the years after World War II, there was lots of work for him as the city began to rebuild its many ornate buildings.

“During the war, Malta was bombed to smithereens so there was a fair bit of work there for him, and then in 1950 he decided that work was running out so he came to Australia,” Mr Barbara told The Express.

After moving to the Latrobe Valley with his wife Josephine and their children, Joseph found work for the State Electricity Commission (SEC) as a Civil Construction Carpenter.

Although Australia didn’t have much of an art scene at the time, Mr Barbara said his father continued his passion for art and created many, many beautiful pieces after his arrival in the Valley.

As a Catholic man, much of Joseph’s work was inspired by his religion, sculpting and painting many Catholic figures throughout his life.

His family and friends were also subjects of his art.

Joseph’s legacy has been carried on by his family.

Some question whether this is a result of nurture or nature, Mr Barbara believes it is the latter.

While he and his siblings spent time around the talented father, many of their extended family never got the chance - yet they too show incredible artistic talent.

“It’s interesting because half of them have never met my father, but they still have got that artistic ability,” Mr Barbara said.

“I spent most of my time with him because I was the eldest, so I had that experience. But none of us have been trained except my sister, who has a diploma in pottery.”

The exhibition holds an extensive collection of sculptures, paintings, drawings, and even an intricate fireplace his father created out of packing cases.

Amongst the impressive plasters of Catholic figures and family portraits are detailed drawingsbyJoseph’sgreatgrandchildren,someofwho have not even reached high school yet - a true demonstration of the talent that runs in the bloodlines of the Barbara family.

“The difference between us as animals is our appreciation in the arts,” Mr Barbara said.

Mr Barbara’s own work in sculpting and painting is also on display, as is his sister’s and many of his other relatives.

The exhibition is at the MatchBox Gallery, 36 Main Street, Yinnar, from now until April 3, open Wednesdays to Sundays from 10am to 4pm.

The musos milk their time on the red carpet with outlandish and extravagant outfits, and most of the winners don’t share the same dignified speeches as someone from the Academy Awards; it’s a rollicking affair.

Hosted by Trevor Noah (pictured) from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, this year’s nominees include Jon Batiste, Doja Cat and Justin Bieber.

PICK OF THE WEEK PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF MALLACOOTA ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm

The small Victorian seaside town Mallacoota became the face of climate change the world over when the sleepy hamlet was engulfed by a 200km wall of flames on New Year’s Eve, 2019. Shocking images of the stained red skies and ruthless bushfires shocked the world as scores of tourists and locals were taken aboard a Navy ship to safety.

Premiering tonight, this six-part observational documentary lifts the lid on the devastated town’s outspoken, traumatised and ambitious inhabitants as they seek to rebuild on their own terms, without the help of outsiders. Featuring searing honesty and revealing the shocking extent of the disaster, it’s a sobering yet fascinating story of endurance.

GIPPSLAND FOOTBALL/NETBALL PREVIEW 2022 - 1

| GIPPSLAND FOOTBALL & NETBALL PREVIEW | 2022

It is great to have country footy and netball back

AFTER two interrupted seasons due to the COVID pandemic, everyone involved in country football and netball across the Gippsland region will be hoping for a season of normality in 2022.

This lift-out, put together by The Express team headlined by sports reporter Liam Durkin, takes an in-depth look at the upcoming seasons in the Gippsland, Mid Gippsland and North Gippsland competitions.

We focus on the hopes of the three Latrobe Valley teams - Moe, Morwell and Traralgon - in the region’s premier league.

On the football side of things, Moe’s premiership drought stretches back to 1967, but there is optimism under new coach Declan Keilty.

Keilty will surely take some inspiration from the fact his former AFL side Melbourne emphatically ended a similarly lengthy flag drought last year.

Morwell has the experience of Denis Knight to guide its fortunes and lead a succession plan ahead of Boyd Bailey’s ascension to the senior role in 2023.

Traralgon has also readied its playing list ahead of a genuine crack at the premiership.

Former Port Adelaide forward Brett Eddy is the headline inclusion.

Eddy played three games at AFL level and has made his name in state football ranks, both in South Australia and the Northern Territory, where he kicked a bagful of goals for Wanderers.

Could we see the first century of goals in the Gippsland League since Maffra spearhead Darren Sheen reached the magic 100 mark in 2014?

On the netball court, the Valley trio are among the leading threats.

Moe has turned to Ramayer Gourley as coach and expect Morwell to go deep into the finals series with a strengthened roster under the tutelage of Rachel Patterson.

OUR TEAM’S PREDICTIONS FOR THE SEASON AHEAD

Traralgon has lost key player Caitlin Ponton, but the Maroons do boast depth and are always difficult to beat at home.

In these pages, we also take a look at the Mid Gippsland and North Gippsland competititons.

The first year of the expanded Mid Gippy left as many questions as it delivered answers, leaving the competition as a mouth-watering prospect heading into 2022.

North Gippsland looms also as an enthralling battle on both the footy ground and netball courts.

All three league draws are contained in this lift-out, along with a look at women’s football, junior football, Gippsland Power and of course, the umpires, because if we didn’t have them, we wouldn’t have any footy or netty.

And we sure know what that feels like.

I hope you enjoy this lift-out and the season ahead.

ALINTA ENERGY | GIPPSLAND LEAGUE | 2022 PREVIEW

Elite talent adds intrigue to a quality competition

By GREGOR MACTAGGART NOT since the halcyon days of the mid-1990s has the Gippsland League featured so much AFL calibre talent.

Back then names such as Darren Wheildon, Paul Bryce and Brian Royal added the star power to the competition.

Fast forward two decades and the Gippsland League has welcomed an influx of talent to have played at the highest level.

Traralgon’s bid to re-emerge as a power of the competition was bolstered by the signing of former Port Adelaide keyy forward Brett Eddy. y Eddy, who played three AFL games for the Power in 2017, boasts an outstanding record at state level having won two Ken Farmer Medals as the leading goalkicker in the SANFL and one in the Northern Territory Football League competition.

The Foster product will join good mate Jake Best and fellow key forward Dylan Loprese in an attacking triumvirate which should have the Maroons pushing for at least a finals berth.

Warragul’s bid to climb from the cellar has benefited from the addition of former Carlton duo Nick Graham and Jed Lamb.

Graham, a brilliant midfielder, will bring grunt to the Gulls’ engine room, while Lamb, who also played with GWS and the Swans, is likely to make his presence felt in attack.

Moe has turned to former Melbourne forwardruckman Declan Keilty as coach in its

bid to end the competition’s longest premiership drought.

The Lions have not tasted flag success since 1967, but do feature a list with Brock Smith, back after two years with the Brisbane Lions and former Hawthorn draftee Harry Pepper.

The Magpies, who were fourth when last year’s competition

prematurely ended, have been buoyed by the return of Ryan Pendlebury.

Pendlebury, the brother of Collingwood captain Scott, is a high-quality footballer in his own right, having played more than 100 VFL games and dominated in the Top End with the Darwin Buffaloes.

He adds to a line-up which contains the reigning Trood Award and Rodda Medal winner Shannen Lange, and former Gold Coast Suns defender Jack Leslie, who will play full-time for the Magpies this season.

On last season’s evidence, Maffra may not be the dominant force it once was, but the Eagles do welcome a new coach in Anthony Robbins and the Stubbe brothers - Josh and Jordan to a line-up also expected to include John Butcher.

A raft of off-season departures means Morwell is likely to feature among the league’s cellar-dwellers despite the experience of coach Denis Knight.

The battle for the wooden-spoon is also expected to feature Drouin, who despite showing some good signs in 2021, have lost key men including Bobby McCallum, Ed Morris and Todd Beck.

Whatever transpires over the next six months, everyone in the Gippsland League fraternity will just be hoping they get a grand final day and can crown a premier for the first time since 2019 on Saturday, September 17.

Moe

Coach: Declan Keilty Ins: Brock Smith (AFL), Harrison Pepper (AFL), Matt Barrand (Catani), Billy Bundle (Neerim Neerim South), Riley Taws (TTU), Luke Mackay (Gormandale), John Chessells (Gormandale), Ben Daniher (Blackburn).

By LIAM DURKIN AFTER being around the mark for the last few years, Moe will be looking to take the next step in 2022.

First year coach Declan Keilty is expected to take a posting at centre-halfback and will have a good eye of what is happening in front of him up the ground.

Keilty said he was aiming to continue on the work of his predecessor Lachlan Sim. “Simmy has done an amazing job with this club and put us in a great spot, the foundation that he’s built is really strong,” he said.

“Hopefully I can just build on that, I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel at the moment, just build on what he’s done, improve the small things and hopefully put us in the best position we can to compete.

“Despite everything that happened last year we did finish third so that target for us to finish first next year and at least be in a competitive spot to be able

to push for the grand final is the aim.”

The additions of former players Brock Smith and Harrison Pepper back from the AFL will add some class, although questions remain over just how adequate the Lions’ depth will be when injuries inevitably hit.

Possibly the most pressing concern surrounds the lack of players in the 26 to 28 age bracket - generally regarded as a time most players hit their peak.

The onus therefore could be thrown onto

those in the next wave such as Riley Baldi, Grady Cocksedge, Harri Sim and Trent Baldi to play key centre square minutes and become 25-plus midfielders to support the ageing bodies of James Blaser and Jacob Wood.

If the youngsters can have maximum damage the Lions could be set up for long-term future success.

DURKIN’S VERDICT: Feel there is an inferiority complex Moe needs to overcome. Watching the five-point loss

Morwell

Morwell had youth on its side in 2021, and as is often the case with young sides, experienced an up-and-down campaign.

against Leongatha last year it almost seemed as though Moe was so surprised to get within a goal of the top team they became afraid of actually defeating them - as ridiculous as that probably sounds. If they can get past their stage fright it may prove decisive.

Outs: Isaac Abas (Morwell East), Brayden Duve (Wonthaggi), Anthony Rosato (Tatyoon), Zac Cantrill (Yinnar), Ryan Mayo (Yinnar), Kuiy Jiath (Old Xaverians), Tom Caile (West Footscray), Elijah Sharp (West Footscray), Josh Monacella, Patrick Charles, Liam Charles, Wade Anderson, Josh Hecker (all Newborough).

Morwell was certainly defensive last season, conceding an average of only 65.2 points per game.

McDonald has been a prolific goalkicker for Rosedale in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League, with his last few seasons returning hauls 48 goals (from 10 games), 63 goals and 77 goals.

Recent finishes: 3rd (2021), 3rd (2019), 5th (2018), 4th (2017).

Ins: Brandon McDonald (Rosedale), Riley Loprese (Traralgon).

AS they say, offence fills your grandstand, defence fills your trophy cabinet.

Enigmatic forward Brandon McDonald has returned to help address this issue, and should provide a versatile option inside 50.

Last season: Third (8 wins, 2 losses).

Coach: Denis Knight

By LIAM DURKIN

However, such an emphasis on stopping goals may have also contributed to a lack of scoring goals, as the Tigers only managed to kick around two goals for every quarter during 2021.

Outs: Matt Pearce (Dalyston), Cam Manuel (Balwyn), Simon Harris (retired), Kristian Jaksch, Lucas Forato, Lachlan Macleod (concussions), Lachlan Rees (injured), Hayden Prestidge, Jayden Van Dyk, Zack Skinner, Jack Edebohls (all Newborough).

Forward planning: Morwell has put in place a succession plan that will see current coach Denis Knight (left) hand over the reigns to Boyd Bailey (centre) at the end of the season. Welcoming the announcement is Morwell Football-Netball Club president Paul Spagnolo. photograph supplied

The Tigers got within two points of Wonthaggi, (a team that lost just one match last season), but then became the only team to lose to Warragul.

Coach Denis Knight said turning some of the close losses of 2021 into wins this season would be a key focus.

“We lost four games by under a goal last year so we’re not trying to make up 100 points we’re trying to make up a goal or

two on the other side. Hopefully we can continue the upward trek and win some of those close ones,” he said.

“We’ll certainly look quite different to what we did last year but I think we’ve got an improved list, certainly at the top end.”

DURKIN’S VERDICT: WHILE results might not be immediate, watching Morwell under Knight it is clear players have an ability to listen and follow

Last season: Eighth (2 wins, 8 losses).

Recent finishes: 8th (2021), 9th (2019), 9th (2018), 5th (2017).

instructions which is always a good starting point. McDonald is a quality inclusion and is usually good for 40 goals a season so their scoring should increase. Can see them providing nuisance value and prove difficult to take the four points from.

COMPLEMENTARY football appears to be the best way to describe how Traralgon will be playing in season 2022.

Last season: Fifth (5 wins, 5 losses).

The Maroons look to have the correct components of a well-balanced list that generally trends toward winning enough games to qualify for a place in finals.

Recent finishes: 5th (2021), 7th (2019), 3rd (2018), 3rd (2017). development and improvement, secondyear coach Jake Best said the focus had now shifted to high quality performance.

Traralgon’s youngsters spent most of 2021 learning their craft, and now with another preseason under their belt and with the additions of ready-made senior quality players in Brett Eddy and Tom Schneider, both of whom have spent time in the AFL system, the Maroons have topped up nicely.

As devastating as that was, a silver lining perhaps was the attitude of the players, who simply got on with the job and made do training at various locations.

“We are aiming for finals absolutely. It’s exciting to see the experience that we’ve got to go with our kids, that’s why we brought them in,” he said.

Eddy played a handful of games for Port Adelaide while Schneider spent time on the rookie list at Hawthorn.

Best believed his team would be in a strong position if the playing group brought the same mentality this season.

“We had nine first gamers last year and I think we’ll have more again this year.

We have another group of kids coming through that are just as good so we’ll keep blooding them, I think the future is pretty bright for Traralgon.”

“It is a really good group, they all just want to get better and are striving for success,” he said.

The Maroons had a more than interrupted campaign last season, as it was forced to train away from home following floods that left the recreation reserve unusable.

DURKIN’S VERDICT: Could be this season’s bolter. Haven’t really lost any more than they’ve gained and certainly look like having the most potent forward line in the competition with Best, Loprese and now Eddy. Think they can definitely finish top three.

By LIAM DURKIN

cancelled 2021 netball season, Traralgon might have been the most intriguing.

Moe

The Maroons had won three games on the trot when the season was finally abandoned.

Coach: Ramayer Gourley Ins: Olivia Barnett (back from injury).

Outs: None.

Traralgon started slowly last season, not getting a win on the board until Round 4, but clicked into gear thereafter, winning five of its next six.

Last season: First (9 wins, 1 loss).

MOE netballers will have a familiar face calling the shots next season, with Ramayer Gourley appointed coach of the Lions A Grade side.

Kate French is back in the driver’s seat as coach. Caitlan Ponton will be a notable absence, but the side should be boosted by the return of Maddi Stockdale.

Gourley will make the transition from playing assistant coach to the top job, taking over from Peter Moody.

Bairnsdale Coach: Brooke Soulsby (training coach)

In taking on the role, Gourley said she was looking forward to what was ahead.

Ins: Alison Dwyer (returning from injury), Anna Mooney (VNL).

“I’m very excited, I haven’t been an A Grade coach or head coach anywhere so I’m really keen,” she said.

“I loved my first season here, we had a really good year and the girls were really lovely and welcoming … I really like the culture that they’ve built.”

Morwell

Outs: Isla Pearson (Wy Yung), Cara Scott (moved away).

Last season: Tenth (1 win, 9 losses).

Stepping up: New Moe A Grade coach Ramayer Gourley. file photograph

through the three positions in defence,” Patterson said.

Coach: Rachael Paterson Ins: Shannon Freeman (Warragul), Saskia Eenjes (Traralgon).

Outs: Lexi Bowe (Melbourne).

Last season: Seventh (4 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw).

GOOD luck trying to get through Morwell’s defence this season.

As if having league best-and-fairest Courtney Garth and 2021 Team-of-theYear wing defence Tanya Budge wasn’t enough, the Tigers now have Shannon Freeman.

Freeman, who coached Warragul last season, has played in the Championship Division of the Victorian Netball League and been selected for Victoria twice.

Budge will be assisting returning coach Rachael Paterson, while Claire Allison and sister Rachel Tatterson return after 12 months off.

IMPROVEMENT will be front of mind for Bairnsdale this season, who finished last with one win in 2021. The Redlegs will be hopeful of getting local export Anna Mooney for as many games as possible.

“Between Shannon, Court and Tan we’ve got a lot of experience and a lot of talent so we are really lucky to have such a strong defensive end.”

Drouin

The Tigers went through an up-and-down campaign in 2021 and will seek a return to finals netball this season.

Outs: Madeline Lumby (retired).

Arguably the most telling summary of Morwell’s season came in the two times it played traditional rival Traralgon: the first time resulted in a nine goal win - the second in a 14-goal defeat.

Paterson said consistency would be key this season, as would having a strong start to the year. Daisy Hill will lead the side as A Grade captain.

Traralgon Ins: Alex Riddington (Rosedale), Matilda Van Berkel, Kasey Guttridge, Maddi Stockdale.

Coach: Jo Ballinger Ins: Teaghan Harrison (VNL), Tegan Blaby, Rachel Ronaldson (Australian Defence Force).

Outs: None.

Last season: Ninth (1 win, 9 losses).

SALE could be this season’s bolter. The Magpies have added significantly to their A Grade team, bringing in Teaghan Harrison from the Victorian Netball League, as well as Tegan Blaby and Rachel Ronaldson.

Warragul Coaches: Renee Cook and Kim Weller Ins: Ella Rees (Casey), Sienna Green (Warragul Industrials).

Ins: Ruby Pratt, April Bethume (both Warragul Industrials).

Last season: Third (7 wins, 3 losses).

Last season: Fifth (5 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw) DROUIN looks to have a similar line-up to last season, with two inclusions.

The Hawks are generally more than competitive and should be knocking on the door for finals.

WARRAGUL has two sets of eyes coaching the team this season. Renee Cook and Kim Weller will oversee proceedings, as the Gulls look to maintain their recent run of finals appearances, but just how big a hole the departure of Shannon Freeman leaves in defence remains to be seen.

Wonthaggi

Leongatha

Coach: Carly Gilliland

Coach: Dean Cashin

Ins: Olivia Watson (Echuca), Brogan Tiziani, Maddie Dowell, Courtney Young, Chloe Marshall, Emily Davey, Hannah Tiziani (all returning).

Ins/outs: No significant changes.

THE team with the only male coach in the league, Leongatha appears primed to give the premiership a fair shake this season. An unchanged list to a side that only lost two games last season suggests the Parrots will again be hard to beat.

Outs: Caitlan Ponton (pregnancy), Emma White (University), Rebecca Jennings, Saskia Eenjes (Morwell).

“I’m pretty happy, the three girls together gives me a lot of options to consider

Maffra

THE feel-good story of last season, Wonthaggi is on the verge of breaking into the finals series for the first time since 2016. The Power was thereabouts in 2021, and has a host of former players returning, including 2021 coach Courtney Young (sister of footy coach Jarryd Blair).

Number of contenders loom in premiership race

By GREGOR MACTAGG TAGGART YOU could be forgive en for wanting a touch of normality if you’re d involved with the Mid Gippsland Football League.

Sure, it has been a tumultuous time for everyone during the COVID pandemic, bu ut hanges when you add the ch to the competition, it will be w history looks interesting to see how back at the past two to three years.

In retrospect, 2021 was w a bit of a test run for the expanded Mid Giippsland competition.

The spectre of coronavirus did hover as it did for every other Vicctorian country football league.

But in a year where fresh rivalries were born, they are not quite enttrenched.

The biggest talking point p heading into the 2021 uld the former Alberton season was how wou bs fare?

Football League club The answer was like Goldilocks when she were too cold, too tasted the porridge, some s hot or just right. er lived up to expectations, Fish Creek and Foste rubbing shoulders wiith expected powerhouses Hill End and Mirboo North.

N omed Ryan Fish Creek has welco y and Matt McGannon back, botth of whom have VFL experience. ght of its 11 matches, will Foster, which won eig to last season, but rely on a similar core group g ar Zane Duursma to play don’t expect rising sta too many games.

MDU and Tarwin finisshed in the middle of the but Mid Gippy season, and pack during their deb have kept their cardss close on the recruiting front. nished bottom of the Stony Creek, who fin league last season, landed a key off-season but are signing in Chris Verboon (Leongatha), g coming from a long way w back, as too Toora, looking to build on a 3-8 3 win-loss record from 2021.

Hill End’s sustained excellence e ce e ce in recent ece seasons has not delivered the ultimate reward ... yet.

Above: Hill End is looking to end a premiersship drought stretching back to 1981. Left: Brent Guerra is a high-profile signing for Boolarra. file photographs

The Hillmen have lost league e best-and-fairest Jack Hudson, who is working g in Queensland, but do welcome four fresh faces, headlined by Travis Dyke y (Nilma Darnum) and the Ladson brothers - Ryan and Jay, from m East Gippsland clubs.

Stability is the name of the game for Mirboo North, a p perennial p powerhou use of the competition..

That’s the usual suspects ou ut of the way, so how ab about u a wildcard? dca d Surely Boolarra can lay cla aim for having the best off-season on the re ecruiting front.

The Demons have we elcomed reigning North Gippsland lea ague best-andfairest Rickyy Coch hrane from TTU and a d in recent ece w weeks confirmed the addition n of two-time AFL premiersship player Brent Guerra a, who turns 40 in Mayy, but he boasts 255 games g of AFL expe erience and a silky left ffoot.

Morwell East is another club to have bolstered its ranks.The Hawks, looking to win its first flag since 2005, have added Morwell trio Isaac Abas, Will Kennedy and Patrick Quinn.

After one of the worst seasons in the club’s history, Newborough has gone back to the future.

Premiership-winning coach Craig Skinner is back in charge and the playing roster looks a bit stronger with the return of Luke Webber (Yallourn Yallourn North) and Josh Pearce (Gormandale), so expect the Bulldogs to give the finals a genuine shake.

The squeeze for the bottom spots in the top six could see Yinnar under pressure to be a finalist in 2022. But the Magpies are always tough to beat on home soil and well-coached by Daniel Taylor.

That leaves Thorpdale, who after a barren period, made good strides with three wins in 2021 and will look to build on that this campaign.

Hill End Coach: Mike Santo

Ins: Ryan Ladson (Lucknow), Jay Ladson (Wy Yung), Harrison George (Neerim South), Travis Dyke (Nilma Darnum).

Ins/outs: No significant changes.

Last season: Second (10 wins, 1 loss).

SOME things never change.

Outs: Jack Hudson (working in Queensland), Nathan Lee (working in Melbourne).

Mirboo North has been a model of consistency in the MGFNL for as long as most people can remember, generally occupying one of the top three spots on the ladder, and it looks like that is set to continue in 2022.

Last season: First (10 wins, 1 loss).

THE hunter has become the hunted.

After winning the hearts of many in 2019 with its fairytale run to the grand final, Hill End backed it up last season with a top-of-the-table finish.

Unfortunately the fairytale wasn’t given the opportunity to have a happy ending, but that could all change this season.

League best-and-fairest Jack Hudson is a notable out, although if Hill End proved anything last season it was that it was not a one-man team.

Hill End couldn’t take a trick when it came to injuries last season, using 34 players in only 11 games.

Influential: Bayley Paul has become a key player for

Successful clubs have continuity, and Hill End has given itself this by signing coach Mike Santo for the next three seasons.

Internally, there might be a degree of apprehension if the form line is underwhelming come mid-season, so it could be fingers and toes crossed the Hill End premiership window did not coincide with COVID. - LIAM DURKIN

Morwell East

Coach Josh Taylor will have a virtually unchanged squad to the one that only lost one game last season, packed with players that possess no shortage of flair including Liam Nash and Hudson Kerr.

If ever there was a team that ‘finds a way’ it is Mirboo North.

that has an almost supernatural ability to win not only games, but finals and premierships from seemingly impossible positions. Just look at the margins of their last three premierships: two points (2017), one point (2014) and four points (2013).

Outs: None.

Last season: Sixth (7 wins, 4 losses).

Outs: None.

WHEN it came to Morwell East last season, most in Mid Gippsland circles found themselves asking “what is the real Morwell East?”

The Hawks were beset with unreliability of performance last season, with a mid-table finish ultimately providing an accurate summary of the year.

Returning coach Devon Soutar acknowledged this was the case, and said tightening the screws in some key areas would be pivotal.

“Overall for us it (last year) was pretty inconsistent. Our good was good, our bad was pretty bad,” he said.

Standards: Mirboo North will see no reason why it can’t win the MGFNL premiership.

Last season: Tenth (3 wins, 9 losses).

THEY’VE got the band back together at Newborough.

Primed: Morwell East senior coach Devon Soutar has assembled a strong list for the upcoming season.

“The challenge for us this year will be to narrow that gap and hopefully that puts us in a good spot.”

From the outside looking in, Morwell East certainly appears its best chance of winning a premiership for the first time since 2005.

- LIAM DURKIN

A host of former players have returned to the kennel this season, as has club legend Craig Skinner in the coaches box.

The Bulldogs should be resurgent in 2022, and from all reports have been preparing for this year since last July.

Guess who’s back: Newborough legend Craig Skinner has returned to help resurrect the Bulldogs fortunes.

While they are coming from a long way back, Skinner said there was reason to be optimistic.

Coach Daniel Taylor said numbers had been strong over the preseason.

“With a good mix of experience and youth the aim is to play finals footy this year,” he said.

“As a group we’re really looking forward to the season ahead.”

The Magpies experience will come in the form of classy mover Danny Campbell and elite ball user Kane Grinstead-Jones, while young ruckman Harry McColl should improve the more times he jumps.

JUST how far will the Demons rise in 2022?

Rising star: Harry McColl is emerging as a quality

Yinnar proved their worth last season, getting within two points of second-place Mirboo North - a match not determined until after the siren, and within three points of Foster.

With such low margins, many in the Magpies camp would have been feeling they were hard done by, however these results were juxtaposed to the extreme when Yinnar only beat lowly Tarwin by four points and then lost to Fish Creek at home by five points.

- LIAM DURKIN

Boolarra has added a great number of players for the upcoming season, with no less than eight coming from North Gippsland club Traralgon Tyers United.

Of the eight, two that stand out are reigning NGFNL best-and-fairest Ricky Cochrane and Kieran Jones, who played in a Gippsland League premiership with Maffra in 2019.

Naturally, the recruitment of Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra will add to the profile of the team, and provide Boolarra players with a critical eye into the nuances of the game.

Number of teams are looking to hold court

By LIAM AM DURKIN Yinnar Coach: Skye McDonald Last season: First (10 wins, 0 losses).

IT will be a case of unfinished business for Yinnar this season.

The Magpies were the only unbeaten team of 2021, and in the eyes of most, were odds-on favourite to take out the premiership.

However, the finals series was not to be, and Yinnar’s campaign was confined to the class of ‘if only’.

Yinnar therefore will be attacking this season from the get-go, and will want to see that its unbeaten run continues from as far back as 2019.

Some key players for Yinnar will undoubtedly be Skye McDonald, who won the MGFNL best-and-fairest last season and goal shooting award, netting 374 majors.

A trio of Yinnar players made the league Team-of-the-Year in 2021,, with McDonald,, Hallie McColl and Gabbi Maynard all featuring.

The Magpies also have new courts and will be wanting to christen them in the best possible fashion come Round 1.

narrowly missing the finals in a tight race home.

Best was one of the competitions top shooters last season, coming third in the league with 348 goals.

Newborough has a new coach in Sammy Waters who knows what it takes to become a finals team, having captained Moe to their sole A Grade title in 2018.

Holland, who is also netball vice president, said the all were looking forward to the year ahead.

“This is the first time this team has played together,” she said.

“We are definitely striving for success across all the grades.”

Morwell East Coaches: Dee Greenwood and Danni Dunn Last season: Third (9 wins, 1 loss).

Hill End Last season: Ninth (3 wins, 7 losses).

Just the one loss marked the Hawks card in 2021, and with a new year on the horizon, the team will be eager to prove its worth yet again.

The Rovers have been working hard at training under the watchful eye of coach Lillian Duff, and has all teams sorted in all grades ready for the season ahead.

Raceforpremiershipwillfeaturethrillsandspills

By GREGOR MACTAGGART THERE is an old expression about good things coming to those who wait.

But when it comes to the North Gippsland Football League, the team predicted by many to win this year’s premiership is the newest to oin the competition. join Yallourn Yallourn North made headlines when it elected to leave the Mid Gippsland competition and head to the North Gippy ahead of the 2021 season.

A new nickname, the Jets, and a splash of yellow in the colours demonstrated the club sees its long-term ong-term future in the league.

The on-field performances also matched up and n a major concern in for their rivals, Yallourn Yallourn North’s playing roster is barely changed from the side which comfortably occupied a top two spot in season 2021.

Yallourn Yallourn North built an 8-2 record to sit just behind surprise packet Woodside on the ladder when the season ended prematurely.

The Wildcats came from nowhere to be top of the ladder when the season was abandoned due to the coronavirus.

Woodside will look to build on that momentum in 2022 with the addition of four players from Yarram, headlined by Brayden Askew.

Much interest with Rosedale will surround how the Blues cope

is another club which traditionally is there come finals time.

Mid-table mediocrity is a position that no team likes getting used to, so Sale City and Heyfield are two clubs aiming for better fortunes in 2022.

The Bulldogs have been bolstered by a contingent of Melbourne-based players and a new coach in Nathan Thomas.

After an interesting off-season which saw the departure of coach Rick Galea, Heyfield has turned to Kobie Woodland to get the Roos hopping this season.

But that task will be harder after the departure of Josh and Jordan Stubbe.

Interest surrounds just how Traralgon Tyers United is going to fare.

The Bombers have lost a host of a players, headlined by reigning league best-and-fairest Ricky Cochrane.

after the loss of star forward Brandon McDonald, who has returned to Morwell.

The inclusion of Tom Northe (Traralgon) and Ryan Burns (Gormandale), and the return of favourite son Brad Scott, has many optimistic about Rosedale’s chances in 2022.

Churchill is rarely far from the mark at the business end of the season and the Cougars will make their presence felt in 2022.

They do welcome back 2019 premiership player Cain Iorangi, who complements a side which will include key man Jake Roe-Duggan.

Despite a host of departures, Yarram

Cochrane’s move to Mid Gippsland club Boolarra was one of the more talked about moves.

Fellow senior player Kieran Jones is another to trade the red and black for the red and blue of the MGFNL’s Demons.

Glengarry’s hopes of emerging from the cellar will rest on the nucleus of the team which lined-up last year.

The battle for the wooden-spoon features a pair of familiar adversaries in Gormandale and Cowwarr.

Last year it was the Tigers who claimed the dreaded honour, but Gormandale will be banking on the presence of new coach Chris Potalej to at least spark a win or two this season.

But Cowwarr also has a new man at the helm in Shane Galea, who has extensive experience under his belt.

The Jets came across as the reigning premier from Mid Gippsland and were tipped by most to finish mid-table at best in a league generally considered stronger.

Last season: Third (7 wins, 3 losses).

With their sense of belonging now firmly entrenched, the Jets will be aiming to continue on the journey as a North Gippsland club under the coaching of Barrie Burnett.

From the neutral observer’s perspective, one gets the impression the Jets want to stamp its authority on the region and complete the double - adding a North Gippsland flag to its Mid Gippsland title.

Churchill has kept a core group of players together for many years now, which has seen it consistently prove to be a difficult team to play against and an almost impossible team to write off.

With the last two seasons punctuated by what has felt like never-ending preseasons, Darby said a key focus for

Outs: None.

Last season: Ninth (3 wins, 7 losses).

GLENGARRY will want to show further signs of improvement this season.

Glengarry has enough players with quality Gippsland League experience in Jackson Hall, Adrian Slottje and Nick Quenault to form the makings of a good side, and now with another preseason under their belt, others on the list should be able to come into their own.

Looking at things pragmatically, Glengarry should be satisfied if it can achieve six to eight wins this year.

The Magpies had a contrasting 2021, with a few big losses mixed with gutsy

Traralgon Tyers United

Glengarry In the eyes of most within North Gippsland circles, the Magpies were a better team than what they showed in 2021, with three wins perhaps not doing them justice.

Glengarry defeated Heyfield by 38 points and only lost to Sale City by three points.

Last season: Fifth (6 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw).

Both these performances came toward the back half of the season, indicating the Magpies might have been on the way up.

TRARALGON Tyers United enters season 2022 carrying something of an unknown quality.

Jack Burgess has changed the sash for the stripes, making the move from Gormandale.

The Bombers were dealt a heavy blow last year when league best-and-fairest winner Ricky Cochrane left to join Boolarra, along with a handful of others.

While they might not feature in finals, it appears Glengarry is a side not to be taken lightly.

a number of players with Gippsland League experience from their Traralgon neighbours.

Michael Jacobsen comes across having played in a senior premiership with the Maroons, and should provide plenty of class between the arcs.

Returning coach Jamie Aitken will be eager to prove his side isn’t dependant on Cochrane, and will surely eye another finals qualification as the minimum goal.

Ins/Outs: No significant changes.

Ins: Ben Heath (Stony Creek), Chris Long (Highett), Alan White (Bayswater), Brodie Deering (TTU), Liam Deering (Traralgon).

Last season: Tenth (1 win, 9 losses) A SMALL town club with a big heart, Cowwarr will want to again extract as much as it can from the season.

The Saints only managed one win last season, and as it heads into 2022, should be aiming to get a few more on the board.

Cowwarr has caused a few boilovers in recent years, most notably in 2019 when they rolled Yarram on their home deck the same year the Demons played in a grand final.

If the Cowwarr of today can ignite the spirit from that day, the Saints should find themselves in more games than not.

Nick Wozniak has been a mainstay of the team for a few seasons, and along with players such as Brett Grieve, will want some others to now come and support the team as much as possible.

Outs: Ryan Burns (Rosedale), Josh Pearce (Newborough), Jarryd Movchan (Newborough), Jack Burgess (Glengarry), Luke Mackay (Moe), John Chessells (Moe).

Only way is up: Cowwarr only won a single match last season and will look to improve in 2022. file photograph

The Cowwarr ground is quintessentially country, and spectators will want to have plenty to cheer about as they watch matches amid the fresh air of the dairy farming community.

It has been all quiet on the Cowwarr front during the off season, so the Saints might have a few surprises in store when the season gets underway.

If upsets are to occur they will more than likely happen early in the season when they are at full strength. - LIAM DURKIN

Last season: 11th (0 wins, 10 losses).

EVERYONE’S second favourite team will enter season 2022 with a new coach in Chris Potalej at the helm.

Of all the challenges in country football, Potalej might just have the biggest one, as he takes on a team that has not won a game since August 2018.

Character: Gormandale is out to break a four year losing streak in 2022. file photograph

during the off season. For a team starting right at the bottom, Potalej said the priority first and foremost was to be competitive and earn back some respect.

The new coach has been busy on the recruiting front adding a number of players to the list.

“We just want to put in four quarter efforts and not be the team that is used to boost percentage. If the effort’s there and we’re competitive it gives us a chance,” he said

Busy might not do his work justice, as he was reported to have made 170 phone calls to prospective and returning players

Surely this is the year the Tigers break the drought and win ‘a’ game.

Last season: Ninth (2 wins, 8 losses).

GLENGARRY has appointed Pauline Little as A and B Grade coach for the 2022 season.

Little will command the ultimate respect from her players, as she is a Glengarry life member, past player and coach, who has experienced great success in more than 25 years at the club.

The Magpies had a successful campaign last year, dropping just one game and drawing another.

Glengarry will face another good challenge in the opening game this time around, taking on Churchill who are expected to provide strong opposition.

The Blues will again be coached by Sarah Mayman, and see its first priority to sew up a double chance.

Missing from the Blues this season are Alex Riddington who has joined Traralgon, Emma Sculley (Moe) and Linley Bertacchini (Boisdale-Briagalong).

Cowwarr Coach: Eden Bourke

TTU’s bid to get better should be helped thanks to upgrades to the netball courts at Tyers Recreation Reserve.

Last season: Tenth (1 win, 9 losses).

Netballers are set to enjoy safer courts thanks to a major upgrade funded by the federal government and Latrobe City Council.

And by whole club that means the footballers as well.

Shirley Fromberg has been appointed coach of the Bombers, and will want her troops to bring maximum effort each week.

Rosedale Coach: Sarah Mayman Last season: Third (8 wins, 2 losses).

NORTH Gippsland netball’s powerhouse, Rosedale will again set its sights on taking out the title.

IT looks to be a whole club approach at Cowwarr this season.

Power is looking to shock the NAB League finished the season, we actually thought we were in a really good space with the mix that we had,” he said.

By LIAM DURKIN TALL timber will be on display at Gippsland Power this season.

The Power has the most height on average out of any team in the NAB League this year, with no less than five players all topping the 200 centimentre mark.

Such height is sure to provide the Power midfielders with no shortage of service, while the Gippsland team could have some serious marking power inside 50.

Coach Rhett McLennan returns for another stint, and said greater clarity surrounding the season ahead had given the organisation a good platform on which to build on during preseason.

“It has been good so far, we have been able to stick to a plan and execute it for how many sessions we’ve got and what we want to get out of those sessions,” he said.

“The last two years we’ve been flying by the seat of our pants and training when we can so from that perspective we’re a bit more prepared and hopefully that

translates into better performances.”

The nature of a severely interrupted NAB League season saw Power win only three of 10 games last year, however there was promising signs, most notably in the Round 15 victory over Greater Western Victoria Rebels - a team which finished the season in second position on the ladder.

McLennan said the team would look to extrapolate from this.

“That was really driven by our 17-yearolds, so given that they are at draft age this year we’ve got a bit of confidence going into the season that we have a little bit more experience in regards to NAB League games into those 17-year-olds than other teams so we should have a little bit more of an understanding of what the pace and intensity of what NAB League football is like for the backbone of our side.

“What we’d like to do is play that Gippsland brand of hard, contested footy, which I think is our point of difference in the NAB League, we have to make sure we play the game on our terms and not make it a shootout, so we’ve been working fairly hard on that.”

The three previous Youth Girls leagues (Gippsland, Central Gippsland, Southern Gippsland) have combined to form one competition working under the banner of Female Football Gippsland (FFG).

The Bulldogs went through last season undefeated, but unfortunately did not get a chance to play in the grand final due to COVID restrictions.

Newborough should be well primed to go again in 2022, as all their players last season were downage.

FFG will take in clubs from as far east as Bairnsdale, all the way to the coastal waters of Phillip Island.

Last season also saw the Bulldogs youth girls’ team have seven players play with the inaugural Newborough/Moe senior women’s team.

More than 12 teams are set to compete, including Moe, Newborough, Morwell and Traralgon.

The Youth Girls season is set to commence on the ANZAC Day weekend.

Newborough twins Elise and Alisha Molesworth look set for another big season, and are both highly dedicated to their football.

In top-age women’s football, four teams are confirmed at time of going to press: Moe/Newborough, Boisdale-Briagolong, Lindenow South and Foster.

A fixture was not known at the time of press, but the season is expected to commence on Sunday, May 8.

| UMPIRES | 2022 PREVIEW

Umpires, like players, are excited about 2022

By LIAM DURKIN THERE can’t be football without umpires after all.

field umpires and no boundary umpires.

In that instance, clubs will be required to supply their own.

Much like the players and coaches, those charged with officiating matches are just as keen to begin season 2022.

Sale Umpires Association field umpires for the North Gippsland competition.

LVUA co-director of umpiring Scott Moorhouse encouraged anyone interested to get involved.

Whistleblowers across Gippsland will again take to the fields, working as a team themselves to see games are played within the parameters set.

“We train Tuesday and Thursday night over a few meals, so it is no different to a footy club,” he said.

Umpires have been busily preparing for the season ahead, with many set to add to already long tallies.

Latrobe Valley Umpires Association (LVUA) legend Steven Buhagiar will finally get to umpire his 1000th game this season.

As with players at a football club, the LVUA could always do with a few more numbers.

The impacts of the last two seasons have left umpiring stocks down, so much so the LVUA believes it will be a stretch to field a full complement some weeks.

The LVUA, which supplies umpires in the Gippsland League and Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League, will seek to field a full quota for games in the major league first and foremost, and then work its way to the MGFNL. Due to circumstances, there may be some MGFNL games that only have two

“We have coaches at all levels from advanced coaches to development coaches, we have coaches in every line - boundary, goal and field and there is different levels that you can umpire to, we umpire from Under-9s right through to senior football.

“Young kids, male or female, we’ll train you up and you’ll be in for a game.

“We have guys who have never played before that do umpire.

“If you are in your 50s and 60s and want

something to do on a Saturday, we have guys running around in that age, we have plenty of goal umpires that age, so we are very inclusive.

“It is definitely a co-gender effort, we have roughly 20 female umpires on our books, we would really love to produce our first senior field female umpire, that is one of my goals.”

As Moorhouse explained, there was plenty of benefits to umpiring, with the money component enticing, especially for young kids who could see it as a good way to earn some pocket money.

“You can get yourself up to $250 a week, maybe more, if you are running a bit so it is a nice little supplement to your wage,” he said.

Latrobe Valley Umpires train at Peter Siddle Oval, Morwell every Tuesday and Thursday from 5.30pm.

Those interested in umpiring can phone Scott Moorhouse on 0409 424 795.

| JUNIOR FOOTY | 2022 PREVIEW

Junior leagues hoping for a season of normality

By LIAM DURKIN

Players from Under-9s through to Under-15s will play in the CGJFL and TDJFL.

THE countdown is on for the start of the junior football season.

Players in the 15 age bracket will more than likely get the opportunity to play for a senior-aligned club from time to time.

Kids across the Central Gippsland Junior Football League and Traralgon District Junior Football League will be eagerly awaiting for the time the first ball is thrown up to commence 2022.

Combined Saints in the TDJFL led the Under-15 competition last season, although Pax Hill was not too far behind.

Junior sport was able to get a few more games in last season compared to their senior counterparts, and football was no exception.

Junior footballers enjoyed the opportunity to get out as many times as possible, and officials will be hoping for an uninterrupted campaign in the two leagues.

The CGJFL tried its best to put a full stop on last season, making the decision to move to playing a sole grand final.

Hill End, Yinnar, Moe/Newborough and Mirboo North were finals bound in the CGJFL Under-15s, and those behind the scenes will be wanting to see their teams enjoy another strong season.

Not long now: Junior footballers are eager to start the season across Gippsland.

The league had previously hoped to play a round of semi-finals, followed by a grand final two days later, but made the

adjustment after it became clear a return to play was highly unlikely in time to allow that to happen.

Regardless of how sides finish in six months’ time, given events of the last two seasons, if junior footballers and parents can get through the season smiling, one would have to count that as every bit as good as a premiership.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS information, like bed numbers and costings, to support its rationalisation of clinical services.

At an open LRH board of management meeting on Monday night, board members voted 10 to one in favour of clinical rationalisation, resolving what services would be located on which campus.

But board member Brendan Jenkins, who supports rationalisation, spoke against the motion.

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

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

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

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1972

LAST MINUTE MISSION FOR LOY YANG B

FIRST FLY-IN SUCCESS SAY LV OFFICIALS

Mission Energy’s two most senior executives flew in from America yesterday for urgent talks with Victorian Industry Minister David White in a last-ditch attempt to save their bid for control of Loy Yang B. SCE Corp president Michael Peevey and Mission president and chief executive officer James Pignatelli were due to deliver their sales pitch to Mr White at 5.30pm.

They want a Ministerial decision to overturn the SEC’s preference for the rival bidder, Southern Electric International (SEI).

Fog-bound airports and an incorrect weather forecast for the Latrobe Valley reduced the number of aircraft expected for the first national fly-in staged at the Latrobe Valley airfield on Saturday and Sunday.

However, jubilant officials of the Ultra-Light Aircraft Association of Australia – which organised the fly-in – said the event had been outstanding.

About 14 of the ultra-light aircraft flying in Australia were at the fly-in, but there were about 90 other light and vintage aircraft which brought visitors from most Victorian centres and all states except Western Australia.

BALLETS TO BE STAGED IN MOE

The Victorian Ballet Guild will stage two famous ballets – Cinderella and Coppelia – in Moe on April 15 in the City Hall at 8.30pm.

Prokoflev’s Cinderella is choreographed by Laurel Martyn.

The ballet Coppelia is set a small European town where an old toymaker, Dr Coppelius lives.

He has made a beautiful doll, called Coppelia, whom everyone believes to be his daughter.

YALLOURN DEFEATS SPRINGVALE IN OPENING GAME

Yallourn started their Metropolitan League season with a win against Springvale at home on Sunday.

Goals to John Poelsma and Ian McGarrity delivered the team a 2-0 lead.

FUN FACT: A three-year-old brick veneer home in Morwell with three bedrooms and large living area was on the market for $21,000 with Keith Williams Estate Agency.

40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1982

FORMAL NOD TO FIVE POWER SITES

The state government has unexpectedly invited a new spate of land compensation claims from landowners in the Latrobe Valley’s western coalfields.

This follows the approval last week of the Governor-in-Council for the SEC to buy land needed for four new power stations – Hernes Oak, Tyers, Hazelwood South and Bennetts Creek – and for an overburden dump at Yallourn North.

More than 70 landowners are expected to be affected.

The Tyers site will not be required for

TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1982. development until 2020 and the others not until after 2025.

But the SEC will have to buy the land from any landowners who want to sell in the intervening period, according to Government MLC Dick Long, a barrister in private life.

POLICE QUIZ ‘SHOPLIFTER GANG’ GIRLS

A group of women who police claim formed a gang of female shoplifters is expected to appear in Traralgon Court soon.

Six women, aged between 16 and 23, all from the Latrobe Valley have been interviewed by Morwell CIB in relation to a number of thefts from 18 supermarkets and departmental stores between Warragul and Bairnsdale in the last six months.

AT LAST, A DOUCH DOUBLE

It was D for Douch double day at Traralgon races last Friday.

Alan Douch, 34, of Traralgon, trained his firstever racing double – and he has been training for 16 years.

The first winner was Terpillar, which won the maiden at 9/2.

The second winner was Sal Talk at 8/1 in a division of the Improvers.

Both were ridden by jockey Merv Beebee.

FUN FACT – 1.25 litre bottles of Schweppes Lemonade, Solo and Pepsi were on sale for 69 cents at Woolworths Supermarkets across the Latrobe Valley.

30 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1992

REAL FACTS WANTED

Latrobe Regional Hospital has come under heavy criticism for not providing the ‘’real’’

Morwell East Football Club has taken action to ensure the club survives the 1992 Mid Gippsland Football League season and beyond.

With doubts surrounding the club’s future, a meeting this week appointed a committee to oversee the 1992 season in an effort to keep the Hawks going.

Morwell East’s future was in doubt prior to an emergency meeting on Tuesday night because of a lack of committee members, trainers and players.

FUN FACT – A Lexcen LV Sports ex-factory executive driven sedan was on sale for $25,428 at Peter Wight and Latrobe Valley Toyota.

20 YEARS AGO MONDAY, APRIL 1, 2002

MOBIL PARK SOLD

Soccer’s 27-year marriage with Mobil Park is over after a previously unknown Gippsland hockey coach paid $570,000 for the precinct last week.

The new owner of the facility, 53-year-old Drouin man George Bruce, said shortly after Thursday’s auction he plans to turns the ground into an international standard hockey stadium.

Those plans, which include replacing the existing grass with a synthetic, all-weather pitch, are likely to carry a pricetag of more than $1 million, Mr Bruce revealed.

Latrobe City Council will receive $400,000 as the first mortgagee of the property, with the remaining $170,000 to be allocated by the club’s receiver to the former club’s second line of creditors which includes former staff, players and council itself.

CITY VOTING UNDERWAY

Voting is underway in Latrobe City Council’s by-election which moved into its final week today.

Voters in the Lorikeet ward received their

ballot packs two weeks ago for the by-election which will appoint a successor to former councillor Graeme Bond, who died earlier this year.

COFFEY NAMED BEST CLUBMAN

Morwell Cricket Club recently held its senior presentation night and the highlight of the evening was the announcement of club stalwart Paul Coffey as the Jack Dykes best clubman award recipient.

It is the second time that Coffey has won this coveted award and recognises the significant contribution he made during the season as a dedicated committeeman and more importantly head curator of the turf wicket at Morwell Recreation Reserve.

FUN FACT – A set of five one-bedroom units in very good condition, leased at $75 per week, in Morwell could have been yours for $129,500.

10 YEARS AGO MONDAY, APRIL 2, 2012

BITTER SWEET ROLL OUT

News the Latrobe Valley will see high-speed broadband in the next three years and has come as a bitter pill for Moe businesses and residents, who have missed out on the first rollout phase.

Traralgon, Morwell and Churchill will be the first towns in Gippsland with internet connection speeds options of up to 100 megabyte per second, as part of the federal government’s first stage of the National Broadband Network (NBN) layout.

The announcement on Thursday by NBN Co, the company delivering the fibre optic cable rollout, has seen the Latrobe Valley win out over most other Gippsland municipalities, with Cowes and Rosedale the only other towns included in the first stage.

WHAT’S THE CONSEQUENCE?

Fears any future power station closures in the Latrobe Valley could result in derelict, unused industrial sites and an erosion of Latrobe City Council’s income base, have been raised by council.

Council resolved last month to seek discussions with state and federal ministers on the consequences of closing power generation on any former SECV ‘works areas’, including rating and zoning considerations.

GIPPSLAND OVERPOWERS STINGRAYS

The Loy Yang B Gippsland Power opened its 20th TAC Cup season with a resounding victory over arch-rivals Dandenong Stingrays on Saturday.

The Power set up victory with a brilliant first term, where the team worked hard to apply coach Nick Stevens’ game plan.

The Power won 13.18 (96) to 8.8 (56).

New regulations earn a welcome

Mr Chester pays special visit to St Vincent’s Primary

STAR of the South has welcomed the federal government’s consultation on the first stage of Offshore Electricity Regulations as the latest positive development for accelerating the sector.

As Australia’s first and most progressed offshore wind project, Star of the South has the potential to be operating off the south coast of Gippsland in Victoria before the end of the decade.

The commencement of this latest consultation process is a welcome sign that government is serious about facilitating offshore wind development.

It will be critical for ongoing industry and regional economic development that the next steps - including finalising the regulations and getting on with the first projects - occurs as soon as possible.

Ongoing coordination between federal and state governments is also required to address potential environmental, social, and economic impacts and benefits, as projects progress through necessary planning approval processes.

“A local offshore wind sector will deliver clean energy, cut emissions, and create jobs for Australians. Now is the time to make it happen by keeping momentum and prioritising the Gippsland coast for offshore wind development,” Star of the South chief development officer Erin Coldham said.

“We welcome the first stage of regulations and acknowledge the extensive work by the Australian government to date – this is great progress.

“We look forward to participating in the government consultation process, to provide feedback on timely, fit for purpose, and appropriately staged regulations and oversight.

“Offshore wind projects have long lead times – this is especially true in new markets like Australia where no offshore wind projects have previously been built, so momentum from government, investors and developers will need to continue at pace to help offset the loss of existing generation and for new opportunities to be realised.”

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester presented student leaders at St Vincent de Paul Primary School in Morwell, with their achievement certificates.

Mr Chester spoke with the students about the history of migrants in our region and the role that diverse cultures have played in the development of the Latrobe Valley.

Battery boost AUSTRALIA’S battery boom continues with another record-breaking year for our energy storage capacity, according to a new report from solar and storage market analyst Sunwiz.

According to the 2022 Australian Battery Market Report, 2021 was the first year that more than one gigawatt-hour of battery capacity was installed, with another gigawatthour expected in 2022.

This is enough storage to power almost 590,000 homes for an hour during a peak period in summer.

Most of that growth came from the installation of large-scale grid batteries, including the Victorian Big Battery and the Wandoan South Battery Energy Storage System in Queensland.

The storage duration of batteries is also growing, with four-hour batteries in the works, which will mean that power prices continue to come down.

Another important trend has seen an increase in electricity retailers announcing new projects, like Alinta in Western Australia and AGL in Victoria, demonstrating the increasing profitability of batteries.

At a household level, more than 33,000 batteries were installed last year – about the same number as in 2020.

Sunwiz predicts about the same will be installed again next year, even though state government subsidies are starting to end.

Sunwiz managing director Warwick Johnston said the report showed growth in household uptake of batteries had slowed, but would continue.

“Australians want to make the most of their solar panels and make sure they have access to cheap, clean energy around the clock,” Mr Johnston said.

“We expect new installations to continue, even as financial subsidies wind down, which tells us Australians want to take charge of their own electricity.

“We’ve also seen significant growth in non-residential, grid-scale batteries, which will help cheap, deliver reliable energy across the country.

“With more households, communities and businesses investing in battery storage, Australians can be sure they have a modern energy system while also saving money.”

The report also reveals another shift in installation rankings, with a record number of installations in Victoria, which led the market, with New South Wales second, and South Australia third.

This reflects currently available subsidies and perks, as Sunwiz’s analysis found that Victoria’s benefits helped some customers achieve full payback on a battery unit within about seven years.

Flipping frenzy at St Paul’s WHEN St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School Junior School students celebrated Shrove Tuesday with their annual pancake races recently, who could resist the fragrance of delectable pancakes?

As each class flipped pancakes while running relays, cheering and joy could be heard throughout the school.

More than 500 pancakes were cooked on the day, thanks to a lot of help from the school’s parent group, Friends of St Paul’s (FOSP), and amazing parents who took time out of their day to make the event a success.

The races were a hit, but the pancakes (those that weren’t dropped, of course!) were even better, with several students declaring, “That was the best day ever!” at the end of the day.

Hot hand: St Paul’s student Lachlan steadied his pancake.

Close encounter: Getting the technique just right was St Paul’s student Elijah.

Concentration: St Paul’s student Angus took great care.

Special visit: Pictured with triple Olympian Anabelle Smith are St Paul’s ESP students Kaja, Lily, Asha, Ben and Oliver. photograph supplied

Adopting mindset shift during times of change STUDENTS in St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Elite Sports Performers (ESP) Program were delighted to meet inspirational triple Olympian Anabelle Smith, who took a day off from training to motivate and advise aspiring student-athletes.

Ms Smith is an Australian diver who has won bronze in both the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.

She shared her story of resilience and identification with the students, discussing the difficulties she faced as an athlete as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and how she overcame them by adopting a mindset shift that allowed her to persevere and emerge stronger.

She also mentioned how visualisation can be a valuable technique when she is unable to use the diving board.

Ms Smith visited St Paul’s Warragul and Traralgon campuses and shared some wonderful tips on how to make the most of opportunities,

emphasising the significance of goal setting and education.

Since its inception, the ESP Program has grown to include over 50 students across the school’s two campuses in Warragul and Traralgon.

The program’s main objective is to assist studentathletes who currently compete at a state, national or international level in their chosen sport to balance their educational demands with their high-level sporting commitments.

Ms Smith’s session was also attended by students in the new St Paul’s Athlete Development Program (ADP).

The ADP is for students who dedicate substantial time and commitment to their sport, but are not yet at an elite junior level and is designed to support students as they work towards achieving at state, national or international level in their sport.

Staff from the ESP and ADP focus on student wellbeing, assisting each individual student to pursue their athletic potential in tandem with their academic potential.

St Mary’s students ‘living like Jesus’

Winning recipe: The Year 3/4 students making flatbread.

Exploring: The Year 3/4 students in the playground.

ST. Mary’s Year 3/4 students have been recontextualising the life of Jesus with a series of inquiry-based lessons.

Beginning with “How did Jesus live?” students explored the environment that Jesus lived in by looking at modern-day photographs of the Holy Land and writing about the living conditions.

Students saw how tough the terrain was and the lack of luxury items.

“They didn’t even have windows or an air conditioner,” said a few of the students.

“It was wonderful for the students to recognise the places in the modern-day photographs with the places they have been reading about,” Grade 3/4 teacher Michelle Hale said.

Students made flatbread to eat for lunch and huts to live in using materials found on the schoolyard to support their understanding further.

“The bread was so delicious I made it again at home for the family,” Lindsay said.

“I’m keeping my hut to play in at recess time,” Seth said.

The following week, students explored “Where did Jesus live?” by learning about the names and features of the historic places where Jesus travelled by searching Google Earth.

“He went to so many places that were far apart. There were no cars, so it must have been tiring,” Samantha said.

To further support their understanding of the historic places, students were involved in a scavenger hunt using QR codes that were hidden around the school.

Lead monitoring put on the agenda LET us all hope that the benefits of lead monitoring aren’t too little and too late for residents.

Victoria used to monitor lead and lead was removed from petrol.

Maybe we’re already brain damaged if we haven’t understood and accepted what lead intake does to us.

Well done to Latrobe City for its efforts to get a monitoring system in place ASAP. That will help those with undamaged brains understand what went wrong when lead recycling came to our backyard.

Monitoring is important to help fight this good fight as the lead horse hasn’t bolted, yet.

Water you waiting for?

IT seems strange to talk about preserving water when we see images of horrific floods on TV, or in our own streets.

But flood water is not drinking water and, up here in the Northern Rivers, one of the critical shortages during the recent floods was clean drinking water.

World Water Day, which occurs each year on 22 March, highlights the critical importance of finding and conserving fresh water.

One of the major sources of water pollution, during the floods but for the rest of the year too, is animal agriculture. A 2010 research report by the UNESCO Institute for Water Education found that while vegetables had a water footprint of about 322 litres per kilogram, beef required 15,415 litres per kilogram and chicken flesh a staggering 44,325 litres per kilogram. Growing crops for animals to eat, keeping billions of animals hydrated, and cleaning filthy factory farms and slaughterhouses takes an enormous amount of water. This makes our best efforts to save water by showering seem insignificant compared to the benefits of going vegan! Not to mention the reduction of our greenhouse emissions, and each of us saving around 200 animals per year from short, horrendous lives and terrifying deaths.

Water you waiting for?

Desmond Bellamy, PETA Australia special projects coordinator

Dedicated to the brave people of Ukraine

IN the country of my birth, on a hill in the monastery of Jasna Gora, is housed Poland’s holiest shrine, a religious icon painted in 326 called Matka Boska Czestochowa (Our Lady of Czestochowa/aka The Queen of Poland), and Christian pilgrims from all over Poland visit her at least once during their lifetimes, just as devout Muslims must visit Mecca as a sacred calling.

In the same way, Putin’s attack on Ukraine represents an attack on Ukraine’s innermost soul, something that is sacred to all Ukranians.

And that is the reason why they will so willingly and proudly sacrifice their very lives to defend every inch of it.

They are my brothers and sisters. I salute them.

Joseph Lis, Morwell

Urgent reform needed in education and care sector

EVERY child deserves the best possible start in life, no matter what their family earns or where they live.

And yet, in a country as wealthy as Australia,

Online comments

FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR BABY

Kevin Curran: Wait & see. What industrial business wants to establish in the Latrobe Valley? The power industry is being killed here.

They are wasting their time in moving if their work isn’t needed unfortunately.

It will just temp those locals requiring improved sites to improve their productivity.

Elizabeth Gilmour: Wow he only moved here from Bangladesh in 2005 and has that much money to spend. Thank goodness he’s keeping it local.

Brad Chubbs Smith: All good the land being sold and the idea. But there is no guarantee of local employment, as we all know from previous ventures that the works gets sourced from elsewhere.

John Arkinstall: A project like this needs broad community support to succeed, and hopefully it has it. Great potential for long term future industry.

Gordon Newton: Needs to get through council first.

Mick Jones: Sadly a good chance that like 90 per cent of these proposed developments over the years for the Valley they never actually happen.

Bryce Wright: Why are people so negative?

We have the possibility of a great employment opportunity and yet you want to shut it down before it even starts ... unreal. income and location do make a difference to the strength of a child’s foundation for success.

Thankfully, we know which children are most likely to face challenges and what causes them.

This means we know exactly what solutions can be implemented now to deliver the most important and consequential reforms ever seen in the Australian education and care sector.

We know children in rural and regional areas, and children from poor or disadvantaged households are more likely to start school behind their more advantaged city counterparts.

Half of them never catch up, and head into adulthood with fewer options.

We know families struggle to access the right care for their children because of significant government under investment in education and care services.

In addition, we know the education and care sector is facing a major workforce crisis.

Low average pay and conditions, huge staff turnover and uneven access to quality training mean services struggle to find the quality staff needed by children and families.

The missed opportunities have immediate and generational impacts.

That’s why the 2022 Federal Election is a time for Australian families to demand action. It is a time for politicians to commit to action!

Pledges to hold reviews, taskforces and inquiries are not needed. We have piles of credible research and reports. Further, peak bodies have built

Love

Kyle Galley: Already progressed further than the DFO they had planned there.

Chris Mallon: Hopefully the project goes ahead with jobs created, and not a white elephant.

Jeff Pledge: Fantastic to see this investment in our region. Well done to all.

YINNAR LOSES ATM Mares Vlb: I would have thought that due to the high number of people relocating to regional areas that they would wait before making that decision. We have had two years of COVID for god sake. I don’t know how many times the eftpos machines at various locations haven’t worked and cash was required hence off to the bank for cash, now the little takeaway place that has an ATM will have increased traffic, kudos to them.

Lynne O’Callaghan: So much for Bendigo Bank caring for country people.

Darren van Heurck: What a joke, went with the Bendigo as it was in our town and the only one, now closed the Morwell branch and taking our ATM. Time to change banks.

Carol Grigarius: That is disgraceful. What about the elderly who don’t do online banking?

Shame on you.

Marjorie Boden: A terrible situation for towns everywhere. Take your banking to The Commonwealth Bank. Every post office in Australia has one. Pay bills, put money in or take it out. A great bank.

and released a plan that acts as a blueprint for government action.

Community Child Care Association, Community Early Learning Australia and Early Learning Association Australia have joined forces to build this plan. It guarantees access to high quality education and care, delivered by a dedicated, qualified and fairly paid workforce.

In the 2022 Federal Election campaign, we are calling for bipartisan support for a plan that delivers: 1. two days a week of funded early education and care for all children from birth to school 2. a commitment to the inclusion of all children 3. mandatory National Quality Standard assessments and ratings at least every three years 4. the creation of a national industrial instrument for the education and care sector to provide educators with fairer levels of pay 5. a National Children’s Education & Care Workforce Strategy 6. properly funded infrastructure and sector support.

This plan ensures children are better prepared to start school, ready to learn from day one and less likely to fall behind. It’s a plan that ensures children will develop the crucial underpinning cognitive, social and emotional skills that provide lifelong benefits.

The benefits of this plan extend to parents and carers as their ability to take on paid work will be

dramatically improved, especially for women. This boosts the economy by lifting workforce participation, productivity and tax revenue.

The massive pressure on families trying to balance carer responsibilities with increasing costs of living will also be alleviated.

For the benefits to children and family to be realised, the education and care sector must be seen as an attractive career path with fair compensation.

Better skills, wages and conditions will transform the sector from a ‘job’ into a rewarding career.

The education and care sector demands urgent attention from all parties and candidates to ensure Australia’s children get a great start in life.

Their future, as well as their families and prospects of future generations depend on it.

Adjunct Professor Susan Pascoe AM, Kindergarten Reform Implementation Board member

Celebrating Victoria’s vibrant agriculture industry

VICTORIA’S agriculture sector is a vibrant and thriving industry, resilient to the challenges that are thrown at it, whether that be fire, floods, storms or the impacts of a global pandemic.

Agriculture is worth $17.8 billion to the Victorian economy and almost one third of Australia’s total agricultural value. It is more than numbers on a spreadsheet – the more we produce and sell, the more jobs are created in local communities.

The Andrews Labor government is proud to support our hard-working farmers and agribusinesses with almost $30 billion of investment in rural and regional Victoria since 2015 - four times more than the former Liberal National government.

Our $115 million Agriculture Strategy identifies key projects to help the agriculture sector remain strong, innovative and sustainable now and into the future. This includes our Agriculture Energy Investment Plan supporting farmers to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.

We are also promoting Ag tech with $15 million to establish an AgTech innovation network, using our smart farms to translate cutting edge research into useful methods on farm.

We are investing in agriculture colleges to support upgrades of teaching spaces and accommodation offerings so they have state-of-the-art facilities to upskill the next generation of agriculture workers.

It’s been a difficult few years for the sector – and it’s extremely disappointing that the National Party has no plan to stand up for farmers. It’s very similar to Peter Walsh’s legacy as Agriculture Minister which was one of inaction, cuts and neglect.

Sadly, the latest Liberal National policy document shows nothing has changed and the Nationals are beholden to the Liberal’s agenda of cuts and privatisation.

While the Opposition has produced a 40-page glossy pamphlet which fails to mention agriculture even once, we have been delivering new projects, more investment and creating opportunities for farmers to grow their businesses and expand into new markets.

This year, rural and regional Victorians have a choice between a National Party that continues to neglect their interests at the expense of the Liberals’ agenda, or the Andrews Labor government, which is working side by side with regional Victorians to ensure our state remains the agricultural powerhouse of the nation.

Mary-Anne Thomas, State Agriculture and Regional Development Minister

Commencement of Bridge Replacement Work on Tyers Road

SRG Global, on behalf of Regional Roads Victoria, will commence work in April on the replacement of the Tyers Road bridge over the Latrobe River and associated roadworks, near Traralgon.

The project is funded by the Victorian Government and will improve safety and access between Traralgon and Tyers.

Work will generally be carried out Monday to Friday between 7:00am and 6:00pm. During construction, there will be traffic impacts such as reduced speed limits through the construction site to safely undertake the work. Minor delays can be expected. Please keep an eye out for changed traffic conditions.

For information on this project, visit: https:/regionalroads.vic.gov.au/map/gippslandimprovements/latrobe-river-bridge-replacement

If you have any questions, please contact the SRG Global project team on (03) 9296 8100 or Latrobe.Bridge@srgglobal.com.au

Carnival filled with success VETERANS CRICKET GIPPSLAND GOANNAS

GIPPSLAND Goannas completed a highly successful season at last week’s annual Veterans Cricket Victoria carnival at Echuca.

The Goannas finished third in Division One, winning three games and narrowly losing one to the eventual premiers, Victoria Country.

All three of the lead-up games were close affairs, with all games being decided within the last or second last of the 40 allotted overs.

The Goannas hit form in the final game against the strong Australian Cricket Society team, winning comfortably to take third spot.

The first game was against Victoria Country on the magnificent Moama oval.

Sent into bat, Gippsland was dismissed for 132 in a disappointing performance, with Ray Smith top-scoring on 31, Ian Southall 20, Peter Anton and Fred Debono both making 15 and Murray Moore 14.

The Goannas middle-order were all dismissed for low scores, after a promising start.

The Goannas bowlers worked hard to keep the team in the game, with Southall, Murray Moore, Kevin Lanigan and Rino Metlikovec being particularly economical.

Metlikovec and Peter Anton took two wickets each, as Vic Country scraped home with a few balls to spare and seven wickets down.

Gippsland was also sent in to bat in its second game against Sunbury at Bunnaloo.

In a terrible start, it slumped to 3/5 with Ray Smith caught for five and ducks to Debono and Col Carmody.

Acting captain Metlikovec restored some order with 21, Moore 18, Ray Floyd an entertaining 17, Rob Taylor 13, and Neil Meredith and Ian Gibson contributing 11 each.

The Goannas innings finished on 9/123 off 40 overs.

An early run out gave the Goannas hope, but steady scoring and periodic wickets kept the game interesting.

Ian Southall bowled six excellent overs to take 2/13, while wickets were taken by Kevin Lanigan, Metlikovec, Meredith and Jim Armstrong.

With one over to play, Sunbury needed four to win with three wickets remaining.

Peter Anton bowled a superb last over to concede only one run, giving the win to the Goannas by two runs.

The third lead-up game was against Canterbury at the Kyabram Recreation Reserve.

Canterbury had not won a game, but batted well against a wayward Goannas attack to post 9/177.

Two wickets were taken by Ray Smith and Moore,

while Lanigan, Anton and Metlikovec took one each.

The Goannas fielding was disappointing with a number of catches dropped.

In reply, the Goannas lost Smith, run out for a duck in the first over.

Strong innings from Ken Bailey, Taylor and Metlikovec then led to a score of 1/102 at 20 overs, but another middle and late order collapse meant that the Goannas required five to win from the last over.

Taylor and Lanigan won the day, with three balls to spare.

The final for third and fourth place was at Bamawm against the Australian Cricket Society.

The Goannas lost the toss for the fourth game in succession, and ACS batted first.

Superb spells of medium pace by Southall and spin by Meredith resulted in both taking 1/9 off six overs. Smith took an early wicket to reduce ACS to 3/18 off 13 overs.

ACS eventually finished with 6/152, with

additional wickets taken by Debono, Metlikovec and Bob Duljas.

It was the Goannas’ best performance in the field, with catches taken by Gibson, Floyd and Metlikovec.

In reply, the Goannas lost Debono, Carmody, Gibson and Armstrong early.

However, aggressive batting from Southall (32), Moore (29), Floyd and Meredith (19 each), Smith (14) and Metlikovec (12), who all retired, resulted in a comfortable victory for the Goannas with nearly seven overs to spare.

The carnival completed a successful season for the Goannas.

The Over 50s team reached the semi-final in the premier division, the Over 60s won 13 of its 15 completed matches, and the newly-formed Over 70s won four of its seven games.

More importantly, the club provided recreation and social opportunities for many dozens of Gippslanders.

MOE/NEWBOROUGH product Sam Skinner made his return to the AFL ranks for the first time in 628 days for new club Port Adelaide on Saturday night.

Skinner, 24, gathered 10 possessions (three kicks, seven handballs) and took two marks in Port’s 64-point loss to Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval.

Despite the result, it was a special night for Skinner, who after being delisted by the Brisbane Lions at the end of the 2020 season, fought his way back onto an AFL list when the Power signed him as a delisted free agent in November.

He came up against fellow Latrobe Valley footballer Changkuoth Jiath.

Jiath copped an early knock, but finished the match with 11 touches (five kicks, six handballs) as Hawthorn prevailed 19.6 (120) to 7.14 (56).

The win continued the Hawks’ unbeaten start to the season under new coach Sam Mitchell and sees them occupy top spot on the ladder after the opening fortnight of the new season.

Traralgon’s Tim Membrey featured as St Kilda landed an important win on the road against Fremantle in Perth.

The Saints overcame some profligacy and overturned a two-goal half-time deficit on the way to the 9.11 (65) to 8.7 (55) triumph.

Membrey finished with 14 possessions (six kicks, eight handballs), five marks and three behinds for his efforts.

Max King and Jack Higgins each snagged four goals for St Kilda.

Ben Ainsworth and Sam Flanders featured as Gold Coast pushed reigning premier Melbourne at Metricon Stadium.

The Demons never really shook off the determined home side despite winning 12.10 (82) to 10.9 (69).

Morwell’s Ainsworth was busy with 15 possessions (12 kicks, three handballs) and booted two behinds.

Former Moe and Fish Creek player Flanders had just two kicks, but laid three tackles during his 56 per cent of playing time.

Apex Park pavilion opened

SPORT

Sporting boost: Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer Chris Buckingham and Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan at the recently upgraded facilities at Apex Park, Traralgon.

IT’S peak season at one of Latrobe City’s most utilised sporting venues following the opening of a new pavilion at Traralgon’s Apex Park.

The multi-use pavilion, featuring four change rooms, umpires’ room, first-aid space and a drinking fountain, was last week opened by Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan and Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer Chris Buckingham.

A full-scale refurbishment of the existing pavilion was also undertaken, including a new kitchen, carpets and security shutters, a fresh coat of paint and upgrades to the bathroom.

The works come as a boost for a large cast of user groups, including Pax Hill Junior Football Club, Police Boys Junior Football Club and the Centrals Cricket Club who call the ground home.

They will also improve facilities for game day

preparation, attracting and hosting events and allow for canteen use at home games.

Former Pax Hill JFC president Sefton Stoddart said the new amenities were already being put to good use.

“From a Police Boys JFC point of view, it is fantastic to have these great new facilities, upgrades and amenities at our disposal at Apex Park. They are a massive boost to all user groups’ club profiles,” he said.

“The modern, versatile change room layout means that every team, both home and visiting, are well accommodated for, with male and female amenities catering for everyone.

“The new umpires change rooms and medical room mean we are now a fully equipped, standalone facility and new stadium lighting has given us greater flexibility to play and train. All in all, Apex Park is now a top-class junior sporting

venue and one we are extremely proud to be a part of.”

These projects created work for local contractors including Kingbuilt, which led the design and construction of the new pavilion, while Rebuild took the lead on the refurbishment of the existing pavilion.

“This new pavilion is a much-needed facility for Apex Park, which is now better equipped than ever to host a long list of sporting clubs and more than a thousand players, officials and juniors who call it home,” Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said.

“These facilities will increase the capacity for events and carnivals to be held at the ground and ensure our community has access to the amenities they need to flourish.

The pavilion projects were co-funded by $872,628 from the state government and Latrobe City Council.

Podium finish: The 21km women placegetters Kay Arrowsmith (second), Kylie Murray (first) and Bryanna Mifsud (third) flanked by Duncan Orr’s parents Helen and Ray.

Hundreds take part in final edition of Duncan’s Run ATHLETICS DUNCAN’S RUN

By BARRY HIGGINS

THERE were mixed emotions following the final running of Duncan’s Run the previous Saturday.

Many waited long hours to see the last of the 100 kilometre field finish their ultra-distance challenge.

It was the final “signing off” of the event after eight occasions across 10 years.

Following Duncan’s death in a road accident in early 2013, the inaugural event was held in December that year.

The 2015 running was cancelled in the aftermath of the bushfires and in 2020, coronavirus intervened.

For the family and friends of Duncan Orr, as race organisers and volunteers, or as participants in one of the trail events, it was an emotional occasion – the final farewell to an iconic event.

A total of 320 trail runners tackled, for the final time, one of the 6, 21, 50 or 100 kilometre events, held across the day and into the small hours of the morning along the trails of the Tarra-Bulga National Park.

As an indication of the magnitude of the event, 80 volunteers carried out various tasks at the Balook start and finish area and around the 50km circuit that was navigated twice by the 100km field.

After seeing off the 100km participants at 6am, Race Director Owen Townsend, in an interview with ABC radio, said, “the weather is cool, misting rain and foggy”.

For the later starters the early hilltop weather cleared to welcome a warm sunny morning.

Following staggered starts the runners in the shorter events began to finish mid-morning and early afternoon. Daniel Furmston and Tracy Feiner were first home in the 50km run, as the

Looking fresh: Greg Semmler, left, Georgia Callaway and Ian Cornthwaite are all smiles after finishing the 50km trail run.

Father and son: Giuseppe Marino and his wife Emma ran the 21km half marathon while their son Jack ran an excellent time in the 6km event.

100km runners continued on to do a second lap of the Tarra-Bulga National Park.

Danny Gamble was the first 100km finisher with Katherine Macmillan the first woman in outright third place.

But ultra-distance events are all about finishing, and Stephen Renehan, Glenn Crawford and Glen Smith were thrilled to complete their first 100km trail run ultras.

“We were so thankful to have Duncan’s parents wait until after midnight to see us finish. It was

a fitting way to farewell the event. Thank you and the DR team for making this event a reality,” Maffra resident Crawford said.

Ian Twite, a friend and training partner of Duncan, said, “in 2013, because of injury, I volunteered and did the manual timekeeping.

Here I witnessed the true spirit of Duncan Orr in Darrel Cross’s efforts to complete the 100km that he never planned, or trained, to run. When Darrel realised no Traralgon Harriers were running the 100km event he said he had to do it. Duncan

would have done it and it would have been a shame if no Harrier attempted the 100km. It was a very courageous effort”.

Traralgon Harriers president Phillip Mayer said: “Ray and Helen Orr (Duncan’s parents) should be justifiably proud of the work they did to bring this event to fruition. The work that so many people have put in over the years, to build the event into what it was on the weekend, is epic. It is a year of planning, permits, meetings, organising volunteers, logistics and fundraising, so it is understandable why this Duncan’s Run was ‘One last time’. But the feeling, the spirit and the emotion made the event a fitting tribute to Duncan”.

It is anticipated and hoped that a similar series of trail run events will be conducted next year.

Outright winner: Molly Irvine, right, was outright first in the 6km event with Ruth Hodge the second woman finisher.

Triple treat for brilliant ’Borough BOWLS STRZELECKI NORTH SATURDAY PENNANT

By MICHAEL HOLROYD

TRARALGON hosted five of the finals with some excellent bowls played in front of an admiring crowd enjoying the sunshine and the good bowling.

The other final at Drouin was well-attended with competitive bowling on offer to conclude an exciting season in Division 3.

DIVISION 1 NEWBOROUGH made it three premierships in a row with a disciplined performance against a Traralgon side which had won all three previous contests this season.

During the week Newborough made a major selection change with Ryan Marston replacing Nosha Michaels as skipper and he relished the task taking his rink of Jo-Anne Michaels, Craig Thornton and John Backman to a 39-12 victory over Jim Scullin and his rink of Ron Sherlock, Maurie Sutcliffe and Pat Trewin.

Kevin Lovett and his rink of Brian Carpenter, Tony Knipping and George Lambos defeated Vince McIlwain and his team of Shane Chapman, Abe Roeder and Chris Ward 22-20.

For Traralgon, skipper Matt Ferrari and his rink of Kirsty Van Den Hoff, Kevin Enguell and Ian Hilsley won 22-19 over Tommy Lodge and his rink of Barry Daley, Rod Lewis and Scott Jones.

Ian Kirkup and his rink of Chris Thomas, Bill Kirby and Damien Barnes won 29-22 over Alan Grubb and his rink of Josh Kennedy, Bob Goldie and Nosha Michaels.

Newborough began very well and gradually built a solid lead until Traralgon fought back to get within three shots only for Grubb to win five shots on an end to stretch the lead once more as Newborough powered away.

Newborough will play Strzelecki South winner Leongatha at Newborough this Saturday with the winner proceeding to the State Pennant Championships in Moama in May.

Hat-trick: Newborough completed a three-peat in Strzelecki North Saturday Pennant bowls, winning another Division 1 premiership.

Mehran and Wayne Bishop got the ball rolling for Morwell with a 26-19 win over Ken Towt and his rink of Glenn Pask, Mark Serong and Grant Pask.

Laurie Melhuish and his rink of Russell Williams, Keith Gadsby and Gerry Van Duin had a 28-17 win over Adam Proctor and his rink of Peter Lieshout, Ian Peterson and Ken White.

Longwarry had Matt Eccles and his rink of John McCarthy, Robert Proctor and Hank Metselaar win 29-22 over David Cook and his rink of Bernie Detering, Alex Muirhead and Darren Cullen.

Russell White and his rink of Simon Counsel, Barry White and Jason Lieshout had a 24-20 win over Ron Lyfield and his rink of Kevin Pigdon, Brian Kingsley and Chris Goldsbrough.

Morwell is looking forward to their return to Division 1 next season and aim to be competitive following this result.  Morwell 96 defeated Longwarry 89

 Newborough 102 defeated Traralgon 83

DIVISION 3 DIVISION 2 MORWELL was fired up in their attempt to return to Division 1 and raced away to a big lead early in the game before Longwarry fought back to only trail by two shots.

The match was a tense battle for many ends before Morwell nudged ahead with a few ends to play.

Swimmers make a splash at state age champs SWIMMING

THE Traralgon Swimming Club returned home victorious from the Victorian Age Championships with an outstanding seventh place in the state among some of biggest and most powerful clubs in the sport.

This is the 23rd year in succession Traralgon has finished in the top 10 - an amazing performance extending well beyond three generations of swimmers.

Thirty-eight club swimmers ranging from 12 to 18 years competed over five days at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre in an electric atmosphere of fast paced racing.

These swimmers made 89 finals (top 10 finishes) and collectively won 14 gold, 12 silver and seven bronze medals.

In addition four out of Gippsland records were broken, two each to 16-year-old Josh Dwyer and 12-year-old up-and-comer Kody Said.

Individually, two club swimmers won Age Group Champions - 15-year-old multi class competitor Kayla Wilson dominated these events with 11 gold medals from 11 finals and Said again was the premier 12-year-old boy with two gold,

one silver and two bronze medals from 12 finals.

Traralgon Swimming Club head performance coach Dean Gooch was full of praise for the team.

“With another COVID interrupted swim season behind us it was always going to be a challenge getting the swimmers up at the most important Victorian meet of the year. However, with the terrific preparation by the coaches and swimmers over the past three months the team had a fantastic result,” he said.

“The swimmers rose to the challenge with some brilliant performances and it was a pleasure to watch finals each night knowing that each swimmer was going to bring their ‘A Game’ when racing.

“I could not be prouder of the team and of course, the result.”

Traralgon Swimmers are now headed for the final Victorian meet of the year, All Junior, at MSAC with over 50 swimmers competing and then to Adelaide for the Australian Age Championships.

If any potential swimmers wish to join the club please phone Brian Ford on 0419 584 145.

The club is in a rebuilding phase and planning for an exciting 2022/23 season ahead.

Dominant: Traralgon Swimming Club medal winners at the Victorian Age Championships Kayla Wilson, Josh Dwyer, Ash Nicholes, Jordyn Cargill, Kayla Pratt and Kody Said. photograph supplied The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 30 March, 2022 — Page 51

History-making premiership for CATS CRICKET LVDCL PREMIER A GRADE

By LIAM DURKIN

CATS upstaged Churchill to win the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League Premier A Grade grand final.

The team from Traralgon South made it back-toback flags with a comprehensive 131-run victory at Ted Summerton Reserve, Moe. The win capped off a comprehensive 12 months for CATS, who gained promotion from A Grade last season.

Going into the decider underdogs against a Churchill side who had won eight games leading in, CATS put it all together on the big stage to walk away with the flag.

After just scrapping into the final by four runs the week prior, the question of ‘have CATS already played their grand final?’ lingered in the lead-up.

These doubts evaporated as the Churchill innings unravelled later in the day, but before then, CATS put up 8/225 after winning the toss and electing to have a hit.

Churchill made a decent start, with Ryan Harvey dismissing Tinashe Panyangara cheaply, which brought Nathan Harrup to the crease.

Harrup, who came of age in last season’s grand final with a mature 77, showed his big-game temperament, scoring 80 off 118 balls.

He combined with Jamie Cochrane, who made 69 off 95 balls in a 109-run partnership for the second wicket.

The Cobras wrestled some momentum back, and had CATS 4/170 with nine overs to go.

The CATS lower order was able to scratch out a few runs towards the end, and took the score past the 220 mark. With 250 generally par at Ted Summerton, Churchill would have been pleased with their efforts.

John Keighran led the bowling effort, taking 5/34 from 10 overs.

Going out to chase, the Cobras had reason to believe, however, no one in their right mind could have imagined what was to unfold.

Panyangara got the ball rolling for CATS, and had the scoreboard reading the ‘Richie Benaud’ 2/22.

After that, wickets tumbled, and by the eighth over the Cobras were 4/25.

CATS captain Ben Julin came to the fore, taking the two key wickets of Brendan Mason and Keighran, reducing Churchill to 8/63.

Triumph: The CATS team celebrates after winning the Latrobe Valley District Cricket League Premier A Grade title on Saturday. The win capped a remarkable 12 months for the club, which won the A Grade premiership this time last year. photograph supplied From there, it was only a matter of time before CATS was toasting victory, and it was Panyangara who sealed the deal, taking the last two wickets to complete a five wicket haul and see the Cobras routed for just 94.

The Zimbabwean ace was undeniable, taking 5/17 from 6.5 overs.

Julin played a tremendous captain’s game, and

finished with 4/23 off nine overs. In a season where runs flowed continuously at Ted Summerton, to see a side dismissed for under 100 was indeed extraordinary.

Panyangara was named man-of-the-match.

The cruelty of cricket was possibly best summed up by the fact CATS only won five games during the regular season - the same

amount as Latrobe, who missed the finals series completely.

By contrast, Churchill finished the regular season 10 points clear on top of the ladder, and won 12 of 15 games.

Perhaps therein lies the lesson: The best side doesn’t win, the best side on grand final day wins.

Philip’s brilliance inspires Lions to A Grade glory CRICKET LVDCL A GRADE

By LIAM DURKIN

ANDREW Philip can’t be far away from a knighthood.

The Moe superstar saw the Lions to the A Grade premiership with an incredible innings of 114 against Trafalgar.

After winning the toss and electing to bat on the Yinnar Turf, Moe made a slow but steady start as it looked to keep wickets in hand for the back-end.

Trafalgar’s bowlers maintained a disciplined length early in the piece, although they weren’t really able to create any chances.

With wickets not coming from the hand of bowlers, it was left to the right hand of Aydan Connolly to get the first pole as he threw down the stumps with an insane bullet from deep mid-wicket.

Philip entered with the score 1/14, and combined with Noah Kane in a 128-run partnership.

Kane constructed a determined 66 from 109 balls, and looked a man on a mission, proudly beating the club logo on his shirt when he reached 50.

Philip continued on, and upped the scoring rate after the second drinks break.

As is often the case, Philip hardly gave a chance, with the only possibility coming when Connolly found an edge during the first session that fell inches short of Trafalgar captain Rhys Holdsworth at first slip.

From side on it looked to have carried, but to Holdsworth’s credit he did not claim the catch.

How fine the margins can be in cricket.

The Lions added 50 runs in the last five overs to take the total past 250, with Philip bringing up his third century of the season with a six and four over long off.

By that stage he was well and truly seeing them like watermelons, and was virtually putting every ball where he wanted.

With the Moe crowd rising in voice and momentum all with the Lions, there was no question Trafalgar was feeling the heat, as their fielding became totally error ridden.

If ever there was an example of how real pressure can affect a side it was on display in the last five overs for the Ships.

It just felt as if every ball Philip faced was going the distance.

Trafalgar got off the ground and needed 254 in order to win the premiership.

While it was an imposing total, it was virtually identical to the 253 the Ships chased when they last played Moe only five weeks ago.

Could history repeat itself?

Trafalgar had 50 overs to find out.

The Ships started promisingly in reply, with Aiden George and Liam White putting on 59 for the first wicket.

The pair got to the first drinks break well ahead of where Moe was at the same stage, but then Sean Spiteri entered the arena and turned the game.

Spiteri nabbed George second ball after drinks for 40, and followed up by seeing Connolly snick off to Philip in the slips.

The leg-spinner found bounce was on offer, and ended with good figures of 2/41 off 10.

The Lions took the ascendency when Clinton Taylor took the key wicket of Holdsworth, with Riley Baldi holding his nerve under a high ball at mid-wicket.

With the score 3/86, the White brothers Liam and Riley set about getting things in order.

A 51-run partnership ensued, but when Liam was dismissed for 45, it set about a quick procession that took the Ships from 4/137 to 7/161.

Riley White played positively for a run-a-ball 40 before being run out. It was one of two run outs in the Trafalgar innings, with the second coming from a direct hit by Philip.

When you are hot you are hot.

From there the equation was well and truly in Moe’s favour, and by the 40 over mark the result was all but determined.

Fittingly, it was Moe captain Pat Spiteri who took the winning catch, as Trafalgar was bowled out for 196.

Those who know Spiteri will know he has put his heart and soul into all things Moe Cricket Club in the last few seasons, going above and beyond what is usually expected of a captain/coach.

As with any grand final there was no shortage of feel-good and side-stories for Moe. Lions’ cult hero Robert Blunt reached the premiership dais after a lengthy journey, and joined Kane, Baldi and Chris Robinson as Moe players who finally got to taste success after coming runner-up in the previous two seasons.

All-rounder Ash Savige finished the grand final with figures of 4/51.

Sweet success: Moe earned promotion to the Premier A Grade competitiion next season after defeating Trafalgar by 57 runs in the A Grade grand final on Saturday. photograph supplied A Melbourne Demons diehard, it has certainly been a memorable few months for Savige.

Opening bowler Clinton Taylor started the season with intentions of filling in for C Grade, and ended it with an A Grade flag.

When he isn’t playing cricket the man known as The Reverend is either selling houses or virtually running the Moe Football-Netball Club. You wonder where he finds the time to sleep.

Royce Colgrave would have surely felt internal satisfaction when a premiership medal was placed around his neck.

Colgrave joined Moe this season after being unable to really crack a regular A Grade game at Latrobe.

Glen Sheekey, a legend at Yallourn North Cricket

Club, may well have thought his opportunity to be part of an A Grade premiership team had passed - not anymore.

Sean Spiteri added a third premiership medal to his collection, while Philip added a ninth, and first since the ‘eight in a row’ dynasty ended in 2012/13.

Philip was an obvious choice for man-of-thematch. He made 114 off 133 balls, took two catches and had a direct hit run out.

The man is a freak, there is simply no other word to describe it.

With a Moe cricket premiership now secured, many will be hoping it isn’t the only flag the Lions win this year.

A cricket and footy flag in the same year has a nice ring to it.

Premiers crowned

CRICKET LVDCL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

MIRBOO North lived up to expectations with a commanding six-wicket win against Morwell in the Premier B Grade grand final at Keegan St Reserve.

Despite Morwell having the chance to play on home soil in the decider, Mirboo North produced a complete all-round performance to lift the premiership cup.

Morwell was restricted to 5/152 on a wicket which has seen numerous scores of more than 200 plus this season.

Will Cheatley headlined a disciplined bowling performance from Mirboo North, taking 3/25, while Rohan Hughes (1/19) and Anton Thomas (1/19) were frugal with the ball.

Lachlan Day top-scored for Morwell with an unbeaten 48, with young gun Connor Seymour (32), his dad Paul (27) and Craig Giddens (27) other notable contributors.

Mirboo North overcame the early loss of Chris Anders thanks to an even batting display.

David Woodall (21), Clinton Wise (27) and captain Matt Snell (30) did the early heavy lifting before Cheatley (36 not out) and Jarrod Speed (35 not out) completed the job with an unbeaten 73-run stand.

Glenn Gniel (2/35) was Morwell’s best bowler.

CENTRALS went one better than last season, winning the B Grade premiership thanks to a 72-run win against Jeeralang-Boolarra at Peter Siddle Oval.

The Lions elected to bat after winning the toss and could thank Dean Rode for lifting them to 137.

Rode, who made 50 in the previous season’s grand final loss to Newborough, produced a gem of a knock, facing 114 balls for an unbeaten 64.

The true value of that knock would be illustrated when Jeeralang-Boolarra took to the crease, although only one other Centrals’ batsman Brenton Ould (21) reached double-figures.

Chris Dekaste (3/15) was the most successful of the Panthers’ bowlers, with Alex Devonshire (2/28) and Tom Holley (2/27) claiming multiple wickets.

Jeeralang-Boolarra hopes of running down the target were on the back foot from early after losing opener Tim Laaks with just two on the board.

He was the first of three early victims for Dan Doble (3/17), who was ably supported by Ould (3/10) and Dean White (3/24) as Centrals knocked over the Panthers for a moderate total of 65.

Only three Jeeralang-Boolarra batsmen reached double figures in Lachie Smith (19), Dylan Smith (15) and Tom Beamish (13).

CATS won a low-scoring Premier C Grade grand final against Willow Grove at Yinnar.

Batting first after winning the toss, CATS mustered 9/111 from its 40 overs, with Tony Harrup (22) top-scoring.

Liam Cumiskey (3/19) and Jay van der Stoep (3/28) did most of the damage for Willow Grove.

But any smiles after the bowling effort were gone soon after the batting started with CATS simply strangling the Grovers batting line-up.

Willow Grove was bowled out for 40 with captain Matthew Payne (4/8) and Ben Hagley (4/9) the heroes. The success made it a brace of premierships for CATS after the club won the Premier A Grade crown against Churchill.

CENTRALS made it a title double as well by winning the C Grade grand final against Jeeralang-Boolarra.

The Lions won a run-filled decider by eight runs at Maryvale Reserve.

Batting first, Centrals posted 7/211 with Alister Foley continuing his purple patch of form to score a brilliant 95.

Brad Howlett produced a gem of a knock with a sparkling 38 not out from just 22 deliveries and his son Brodie chipped in with a run-a-ball 24.

Jacob Cecil, Paul McGrath and Shane Gill each took two wickets for the Panthers.

Jeeralang-Boolarra produced a spirited chase of the target, setting up a thrilling finish.

Opener Tom Reiske laid the foundation with 58, while Gill (23) and Gary Larkin (20) produced good cameos.

Nathan Spark gave the Panthers’ faithful hope, scoring an explosive 45 from 32 balls, but the task was too great as Centrals held their nerve.

Brad Howlett (2/63) was the only Lions’ bowler to take two wickets, but emerging talent Callum Whitehead showed why he is a bright future with figures of 1/25 from eight fine overs.

THE golden premiership run for Centrals started two days earlier when the Lions secured the inaugural Women’s Division title.

Centrals defeated Raiders by 48 runs in the grand final at Maryvale Reserve, Morwell.

Sent into bat, Centrals posted 2/99 from its allotted 16 overs.

Bridie Kimpton top-scored with an unbeaten 33 from as many deliveries, while Taylah Fitzpatrick (19 not out) and Kerryn Doble (18 retired not out) also featured among the runs.

Leah Henderson (1/15) was the pick of the Raiders bowlers.

Raiders never looked a serious threat in the chase, posting 5/51.

Mandy Quinn top-scored with 15 not out and Jenny Witney made 14.

Emily Shaw (1/9) and Velleda Bradford (1/10) were the pick of the Centrals’ bowlers.

Premier B Grade: Mirboo North was crowned premiers after defeating Morwell by six wickets.

B Grade: Centrals was crowned premiers after defeating Jeeralang-Boolarra by 72 runs.

Premier C Grade: CATS claimed the title after a 71-run win against Willow Grove.

C Grade: Centrals claimed the title after a six-run win against Jeeralang-Boolarra.

Newborough/Yallourn floored by COVID SOCCER LVSL

By LAURIE WILLIAMS AND TREVOR RIESS

COVID-19 had its first impact on the Latrobe Valley Soccer League season, with Sunday’s game between Newborough/Yallourn and Traralgon City postponed due to the former having several players out due to the virus.

Of the remaining four fixtures, a Saturday night special ensued with Falcons 2000 beating Moe United, Fortuna easily accounting for Monash, Morwell Pegasus slamming eight away to Sale and East Gippsland and Churchill sharing the spoils.  MOE v FALCONS

UNDOUBTEDLY the match of the round saw Falcons 2000 travel to Moe United under lights on Saturday, with both sides vying for early ascendency in the race for the league championship.

The match started at a frantic pace, with the Morwell side quickly inflicting their high-tempo brand of football but a resolute Moe defence saw that the game remained goalless at the break.

The second half quickly saw Falcons continue in the same manner and were eventually rewarded with some intricate interplay in the final third finished at close range by Nonda Lazaris.

The home side looked spent physically and with 20 minutes to go the game was seemingly put to bed when captain Sam Amaira expertly finished a lovely sweeping forward move.

Moe, despite missing a number of players on the night, would continue to press and in stoppage time Matt Shearing brought them back with a sublime finish inside the box.

Despite Moe piling on the pressure, Falcons held their nerve to remain unbeaten and going some way to avenge the 7-2 loss they received last year before the season was brought to a halt.  FORTUNA v MONASH

AFTER last week’s admirable loss to Moe United, Fortuna looked to bounce back to claim their

first points of the season away to Monash with a resounding 5-1 victory.

Goals to Hayden Tanti, Damon Scott (two) and new signings Ryan McAuley and Daniel Cooper ensured the win at a venue that teams can often struggle to claim maximum points.  PEGASUS v SALE

MORWELL Pegasus put their names firmly in the league championship discussion with an impressive 8-2 win away to Sale.

It was expected Sale would put up a decent fight given their early preseason form however the Flying Horsemen quickly put paid to that with a gluttony of goals that took them to the top of the summit after Round 2.

Pegasus are already making a name for themselves in the goals-for column, amassing 12 goals thus far in only two games, however bigger challenges await in the coming weeks as they are yet to play some of their equally fancied rivals.  CHURCHILL v EAST GIPPSLAND

RIGHT from the first whistle Churchill looked to have East Gippsland on the back foot.

In only the third minute, a Sam Dicereo left foot screamer bent around a flailing keeper into the top corner.

Two one-on-ones with the keeper resulted in two goals to Blake Whykes continuing his goalscoring streak in style rounding the keeper.

East Gippsland got themselves back into the contest in the last minute of the first half through a Matt Desio goal giving the Eagles a much-needed boost going into the sheds.

The second-half started as a stalemate for the first 20 minutes, with neither team able to dominate for any length of time until East Gippsland capitalised on a Churchill mistake to chip the keeper from 30 yards.

It was game on from then and an own goal for East Gippsland's third goal put the game on equal terms to really turn the pressure up.

East Gippsland kept pushing forward without being able to break down Churchill’s defence, and

Churchill’s wingers got deep and played plenty of balls into the box to keep the tempo high.

With Eagles' players going down with cramp throughout the last 10 minutes it was too much for some as the East Gippsland coach was given his second yellow card within five minutes and sent from the dugout for referee abuse.

When the referee blew for full-time both teams could feel like it was two points lost with ample opportunities for both to win and the scoreboard reading 3-3.

ROUND 3 PREVIEW  NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN v FALCONS

WITH two wins on the trot Falcons are on the road again, this time to recent rivals Newborough/ Yallourn.

The Combine will come off a week’s break and it is anyone’s guess as to whether this will be of benefit or not when they face their in-form opponents.

Irrespective of all that, games between these two friendly foes are always tightly fought with any result possible on the day.

RECORD - Played: 38 Falcons 21, Newborough/ Yallourn 13, 4 drawn. Last time: Newborough/Yallourn 3-2.  CHURCHILL v SALE

CHURCHILL has another chance to register their first win of the season against a struggling Sale.

The Rams have been playing well with two draws to open their campaign and they will be extremely motivated to grab all three points on their home turf.

Sale, pointless at the end of two rounds, will look to make a better account of themselves than they did last week.

they have no better opportunity to bounce back against their postcode rivals in Monash who have a solitary point to their name.

After a disappointing 5-1 loss last weekend, Monash will look to bounce back, and one things for sure - they will fight until the death which will make it a tricky encounter for the Red Devils.

RECORD - Played: 116, Moe 67, Monash 32, drawn 10, Last time: Moe 2-1.  PEGASUS v TRARALGON CITY

PEGASUS are known to be big scorers against the lower clubs and with 12 goals on the board after two matches they will be putting the pressure on Traralgon City who had an unexpected rest last weekend.

They will be keen to get back into action and give Pegasus a solid workout.

Played: 87, Pegasus 37,Traralgon City 25, drawn 5 Last time: Pegasus 1-0.  EAST GIPPSLAND v FORTUNA

FORTUNA should be too strong for East Gippsland but they won’t forget their first meeting in 2021 when the Eagles forced a 3-3 draw.

This time around Fortuna will be a hard team to beat especially after their solid win the previous week.

Played: 9, Fortuna 7, East Gippsland 1, drawn 1. Last time: 2-2.

WOMEN’S FIXTURE Newborough/Yallourn v Falcons; East Gippsland v Fortuna;Tyers v Traralgon City. (Monash, Sale - byes).

RECORD - Played: 91, Churchill 62, Sale 18, drawn 11.

Last time: Sale 2-0.  MONASH v MOE

MOE will be hurting after their loss to Falcons and

Gippsland League is all set for the new season FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

THE Gippsland League formally launched the 2022 season last week.

The league launch was held at the Traralgon Vineyard, as representatives from all 10 member clubs came together to officially welcome in the new season.

Patrons were treated to speeches from former Carlton cult hero Dennis Armfield, and Australian netballer Shelley O'Donnell.

Those in attendance also heard from Andrew Livingstone, one of the board members of the new Gippsland League Board of Management.

The Gippsland League and AFL Gippsland announced mid last year the Gippsland League would progress to a self-governance model for 2022 and beyond.

Gippsland League was administered by the AFL Gippsland Regional Administration Centre (RAC) since 2015.

At its most basic, a self-governance model means any league decisions will be made by the incoming board on behalf of the member clubs.

The members are: Livingstone, Brett Tessari, Dean Benson, Duane Rek, Jodi Galea, Shane Paynter, Ian Dougherty and Stuart Dalton.

Livingstone said the new board was looking forward to some exciting initiatives on the horizon.

"It has been a two-year process, the clubs decided they wanted to go back to a board of management structure," he said.

"I think the Gippsland League is a fantastic comp and we really need to maintain a premier division of football/netball across the region.

"Moving forward we just really want to build the league off the field financially and see all the clubs prosper.

"We are putting together a five-year strategic plan in conjunction with GippSport which will identify a lot of important areas we want to move to.

"The board is all united on making sure we continue to build the brand and set the bar higher and higher and work alongside all the other leagues in the region because we want to be strong and we want everyone to be strong. At the end of the day that will benefit us as well."

The Gippsland League season commences this Saturday.

Moe are home to Warragul, while Morwell travels to Bairnsdale and Traralgon makes the journey to Leongatha.

Here’s to 2022: The Gippsland League starts this weekend.

Fun Run is just fabulous

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

THE 24th running of the Traralgon Harriers Fun Run was a huge success, with some speedy times, excellent participation levels, especially considering COVID hesitation, and solid community support.

“It’s a great achievement for our club and organising, an event of this size is a huge undertaking,” club president and event race director Phill Mayer said.

“We were exceptionally lucky with perfect weather for running.

“The community, our sponsors, and local business supporters are amazing, contributing to a really wonderful day. It’s about raising awareness and opportunity to participate in healthy activities, and also raising some needed money for Rotary Centenary House. The runners were happy with the course, and it turned out to be a wonderful showcase for how brilliant our club is."

The course was an out-and-back loop from Kernot Hall Morwell, along Waterhole Creek to Crinigan Road, along path, across grass, some sand and gravel sections.

“It added some variety to just running on the road as we have in past years. It’s been great to bring the event back to Kernot, and the course is safe, fast and received a positive response from participants," Mayer said.

“The beauty of this event is that it’s inclusive of everyone, and people get to see the Harriers in a different light to the perceived 'elite' running club that many outsiders consider us to be.

“That’s not to say we don’t have some absolutely incredible runners in the club, of course we do, they were on show as well, but we just wouldn’t be what we are without our social and recreational runners.

“The Community Fun Run is a chance for the public to see how inclusive, welcoming and fun

For a good cause: Traralgon Harriers president Phill Mayer and Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester at the annual Fun Run. we are. There was a lot of encouragement out on the course, with runners yelling support to other runners, and the marshals cheering them all on.

"It was inspiring to see so many people who were just out there giving it a go. Many people ran with friends or family, there were quite a few walkers, the kid’s race was wonderful, and this is what a community fun run should be all about.”

Of course, there was a race element to the event, and winning the day was Zack Beasley in a smashing time of 17:27, with second place going to Harriers young gun Miles Verschuur (18:59) and third to club elder statesman and evergreen runner Ian Cornthwaite (19:29).

In the women’s event, Narelle Crozier was victorious, breaking the 20 minute barrier in a

time of 19:45, followed by Sarah Lewis (20:49) and Liz Kenney (23:36). Male and female winners were presented with the Richard Jeffery Memorial Medal.

Other results in age categories included Scout Robertson (35:25) and Jack Marino (25:24) in the 12-and-under category, Laura Coleman (25:10) and Verschuur (18:59) were the Under-18 winners.

Lewis (20:49) and Beasley (17:27) won the open, in the 40-49 division Crozier (19:45) and Stephen Renehan (21:37), in the 50-59 category Liz Kenney (23:36) and Darrel Cross (20:50), and in the 60+ division Heather Farley (26:03) and Ian Cornthwaite (19:29) were victorious.

Results in the kids’ 1.5 kilometre event saw Emily Harris (6:10) come first, second was Erin Smith (7:01) and third Adelaide Cleaver (7:45).

In the boys Isaac Frost smashed it in 5:19, followed home by Bailyn Leeson (6:23) and thirdplaced Matthew Xiao (6:37).

The team from Latrobe City won the Workplace Team plaque for the greatest number of entries under their banner, while Kurnai College took out the School Team honours, and Traralgon Harriers won the Sports Team plaque.

Other strong teams competing included Gippsland Road Runners, Be Strong Fitness, DFP Recruitment, Baw Baw Runners, Danceworks 114, Pulse Running, Aussie Broadband, Officeworks, Traralgon parkrun, St Michael’s, WJR Churchill, Latrobe Regional Hospital and Sale and District Runners.

“We need to acknowledge our major sponsor DFP Recruitment who has been incredible in their ongoing support of this event, and this is their eighth year," Mayer said.

"They, along with WIN TV, Gold 1242, First National Real Estate Latrobe and Athlete’s Foot are essential in making this event successful for the community”.

THE Latrobe Valley Hockey Association began its 2022 season with a lightning premiership six-a-side mixed round robin.

The day began with our juniors taking to the field after a skills session.

This was the precursor to the season beginning for them this week.

The seniors took to the field in the afternoon and battled with the heat.

The atmosphere was very friendly and West Gippsland sent a team down which was welcomed.

The grand final saw Churchill 1 team winning on the day.

On Saturday the season will begin: - Under-7s play at 9.30am - Under-10s play at 10.15am - Under-13s play at 11am It is not too late to join a team. Equipment is available to borrow.

Training begins at 5pm for Hook into Hockey players and newcomers and 5.30pm for the more experienced Juniors at the Federation University hockey complex, Churchill.

Senior women begin at 12.15pm Rovers v Churchill. At 2pm, the LVHA Vic League team plays Bayside at home.

This should prove to be a fast, action packed game. Moe and Traralgon clash at 3pm.

There is still room for returning and new players. All abilities are welcome.
