CRIME DECREASE

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

FRESH data released by the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) has shown an overall decrease in ‘Criminal Incidents’ in Latrobe City.

A total decrease of 15.2 per cent in Criminal Incidents was recorded for the local government area by the CSA, which released it’s final 2021 data (ending September 30) in December.

Despite the drop, Latrobe’s crime rate still ranks high in comparison to other parts of the state.

The municipality has the second highest number of Criminal Incidents in Victoria, topped only by Melbourne, and the third highest ‘Recorded Offences’, behind Melbourne and Ararat.

An in depth look at the region’s statistics reveals a 4.8 per cent increase in ‘Crimes against a person’. Notable increases in this category are ‘Sexual Offences’ and

‘Stalking, Harassment and Threatening Behaviour’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Express to remain a midweek paper WEDNESDAY will remain as the publication day for the new weekly edition of The Express in 2022.

Our next edition will be out on Wednesday, January 12.

Fire restrictions begin next week

Impounded: This black Holden sedan was witnessed by police driving erratically on Commercial Road, Morwell.

with Alyssa Fritzlaff

A BLACK Holden sedan was observed by police driving erratically on Commercial Road, Morwell on Sunday, January 2 at approximately 11pm.

Witnesses said that the car was driving at on coming traffic and swerving all over the road.

Police attempted to intercept the vehicle, however the male driver allegedly sped off. There were no number plates attached to the car.

The car was finally located at an address in Morwell where it was impounded for 30 days at a fee of $1185.

Dog theft in Churchill

A RECENT spate of overnight thefts in Churchill and surrounds have included a six-month old puppy.

The puppy, a Mastiff cross was secured in a yard on Goorawin Place, in Churchill with another dog when two people allegedly approached the property on the night of Saturday, January 1.

The pair, a male and female, were seen on CCTV

opening a side gate just after 12am and allegedly taking the puppy.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Morwell Police on 5131 5000.

Petrol theft in Morwell

AT approximately 5pm on Saturday, January 1, a 2012 Kia Cerato silver sedan entered the Coles Express Service Station on Princes Drive, Morwell.

Latrobe’s crime statistics on decline CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Road safety will be a key focus in 2022, particularly over the summer months ... Highway Patrol police are currently running a high-visibility road policing operation in a bid to drive down the devastating road toll.”

In regards to the 45.5 per cent increase in sexual offences in the area, Supt McDonald explained that this increase was driven by online offending.

“People spent more time in front of computers and other devices during COVID-19 lockdowns. In addition, a large portion of sexual offending was family violence-related,” she said.

“However, we know crimes of this nature often go

unreported, so the increase in these offences illustrates that victims are showing more confidence in police when it comes to reporting sexual offences.”

CSA’s chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said that pandemic related lockdowns and restrictions decreased specific types of crime across Victoria.

“COVID-19-related restrictions on movement have continued to coincide with decreases in the more opportunistic crime types such as theft, however, there have been fewer breaches of CHO directions offences recorded in the past 12 months,” she said.

Despite the decrease in opportunistic criminal activity, Ms Dowsley noted an increase in Family Violence related offences. For which there was a 2.8 per cent increase in Victoria.

“While half of the FV-related offences recorded in the last 12 months were Breaches of orders, increases in Crimes against the person offences were driven by non-FV-related assaults,” she said.

This increase is mirrored in Latrobe, where a total increase of 10.2 per cent in Family Incidents was recorded in 2021.

The majority of affected family members were female, at 1970, while 629 affected members were men.

The age group with the most affected family members was people 25 to 34-years-old.

Additionally, in Latrobe, breach family violence order cases increased by 21.6 per cent throughout the year.

THE CFA has declared fire restrictions will start in Latrobe City on Monday, January 10.

Once a Fire Danger Period has been declared, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.

There are very strict conditions attached to these permits and the liability sits with the permit holder to ensure they always act safely.

Deputy chief officer Trevor Owen said once the Fire Danger Period comes into effect, CFA has a zero tolerance approach to any fires caused by negligent behaviour.

“Expect any escaped or uncontrolled fire you start to be investigated by CFA and Victoria Police,” he said.

Fire Danger Periods are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall.

The Fire Danger Period already applies in much of Victoria, with further areas to be added in the coming weeks in accordance with local conditions.

The Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Victoria released in November identified potential for increased grassfire conditions for the 2021/22 fire season.

Above average winter and spring rainfall has led to above normal growth likely to increase the grass fire risk throughout summer.

Grassland and drier forests including woodlands and heathlands have been assessed as normal, however shorterduration fires are still likely to occur on hot, dry and windy days.

DCO Owen reminded Victorians that even an average fire season in this state can still be a bad one.

“The grass and bush has very rapidly dried out over the Christmas and New Year period with little rainfall and some hot weather,” he said.

“Any additional rainfall we do experience will only produce more growth, which could very easily result in an even higher fuel load throughout the summer season if not properly managed.”

DCO Owen said there was still an opportunity to clean up properties if that work hasn’t already been done.

“Out-of-control burn-offs and unregistered burn-offs have already caused unnecessary callouts to brigades,” he said.

“You should also check and monitor weather conditions and not burn off in windy conditions or if high winds are forecast – not only on the day of your burn but for the days afterwards.”

Hay carters are urged to seek caution during this fire season

Tremor: A small earthquake was felt in the Shady Creek area recently.

file photograph

Earthquake registered in Shady Creek region

BY ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A MAGNITUDE 2.8 earthquake hit the region on Tuesday, December 28 at approximately 3.24pm.

The quakes epicentre was located near Shady Creek (longitude: 146.08, latitude: -38.12), with a depth of two kilometres.

Many people across the Latrobe Valley, Baw Baw Shire, and surrounding areas took to social media to discuss the tremors.

While some reported feeling a slight shake, others said they felt absolutely nothing.

The Seismology Research Centre’s Chief Scientist Adam Pascale said that the tremors would have felt “like a truck driving by”.

“Magnitude four and above would usually cause damage,” he said.

“There is a bit of activity in that region in general … and we’ll probably get one (quake) of this size every year in the region.”

Mr Pascale said that this quake will not likely cause a string of aftershocks like those felt in the wake of the 5.3 earthquake in 2012, which originated near Moe. The quake was nothing compared to the massive 5.8 near Woods Point last September, which saw walls in Melbourne crumble, and had a significant number of aftershocks, the highest of which was a 4.2.

THE CFA is urging farmers to be cautious when cutting, baling and storing hay with the strong seasonal growth of pastures and crops.

District 9 Acting Assistant Chief Fire Officer Emma Conway said there has already been hay stack fires in the local area this season, after crews responded to dozens of instances across the state last year.

ACFO Conway said significant grass growth across Gippsland would present some challenges for fire fighters with the increases in fuel, especially along roadsides.

“The current weather pattern makes drying hay challenging with warm periods interspersed with rain, and it doesn’t take much to make the hay damp,” she said.

“With so many farmers trying to get hay finished, we understand it can be difficult for contractors to ask farmers to wait until the grass on the ground is fully dry.

“The risk of bailing early however can have devastating consequences.”

ACFO Conway said haystack fires could start quite easily from lightning strikes or sparks from equipment and machinery.

But she said spontaneous combustion of the hay bales themselves was a major source of ignition.

Spontaneous combustion occurs when hay has either not properly dried before baling, or has been exposed to rain or damp conditions, meaning moisture content is higher than recommended levels.

“This can happen to any hay bales, regardless of size, and it is something farmers can help prevent,” she said.

“After baling, make sure you check the heat and smell of the bales before stacking them into haysheds or large external stacks, and leave any suspect bales separate from the rest.

“By doing so, you’re not just protecting yourself from the financial impact of losing valuable fodder, you’ll also be helping your

local brigade and community as haystack fires often occupy crucial firefighting resources during the season when CFA volunteer firefighters are required to monitor haystack fires for several days to make sure smouldering fires don’t spread.”

Important tips: • Ensure hay is well cured before bailing.

• Know the history of the hay you purchase.

• Keep haystacks to a limited size, and don’t stack hay right to the top of a hay shed. Allow some air to circulate at the top to help carry away moisture.

• Regularly monitor the moisture and temperature of your hay.

• Watch for unusual odours such as pipe tobacco, caramel, burning or musty smells.

• Store hay in separate stacks or sheds away from farm equipment and other buildings.

• Keep your hay dry. Protect it from rain, leaking rooves or spouts, and runoff.

Cover stacks with tarps or hay caps.

Temperature guide - what to do when your hay is overheating.

Use a thermometer in a probe or insert a crowbar into the middle of the stack for two hours.

• If it is less than 50 degrees - or if you can handle bar without discomfort - check the temperature daily.

• Between 50 and 60 degrees - or if you can only handle the crowbar for a short time - then check the temperature twice daily. Remove machinery from the shed.

• Between 60 and 70 degrees - or if you can touch bar only briefly - check the temperature every two to four hours.

Move the hay to improve air flow.

• If it is more than 70 degrees - or the bar is too hot to hold - there is a potential for fire. Call 000 immediately. Avoid walking on top of haystack.

Local waterways a popular spot to keep cool

By MICHELLE SLATER and ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LOCALS and visitors sought a reprieve from last week’s scorcher to ring in 2022 when the mercury hit the high 30s into the new year.

The last day of 2021 on Friday and the first day of 2022 on Saturday hit a top of 37 degrees while Sunday was a bit more bearable at 33 degrees.

Lake Narracan proved a popular spot, while some decided to hit the water, others were seen chillaxing on the banks.

One woman was even spotted paddle boarding with her dog.

Others had a barbecue going, while young children made sandcastles and swam with colourful floaties.

Meanwhile, the Morwell River was getting some love after its campgrounds and swimming spots were hammered in the June storms.

Fox’s Hole in Boolarra South was pretty vibey in a sea of sunscreen, togs, picnics and barbecues galore, with some people who set up camp along the river returning each day for a dip.

This weekend, the Valley is set to maintain temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s.

‘‘No purpose’’ in EES declares ULAB plant developer THE proponent of a used lead acid battery recycling plant in Hazelwood North sees “no purpose” in an Environmental Effects Statement after the project previously gained regulatory approvals.

Developer Chunxing issued a recent statement in response to a Parliamentary Inquiry into Air Pollution in Victoria recommendation for an independent EES to be carried out into the project.

Chunxing chief executive officer Dr Lakshman Jayaweera said the project had already gained an Environmental Protection Authority Works Approval, and the assessments did not trigger the need for an EES. Dr Jayaweera said the EPA did not refer the project to the Planning Minister to consider carrying out an EES. “Since Chunxing has successfully obtained EPA Works Approval, after an exhaustive assessment

process, we see no purpose for conducting an EES,” Dr Jayaweera said.

The parliamentary Inquiry looked at submissions from local community and objector groups concerned about the potential for lead pollution from the project.

But Dr Jayaweera said Chunxing was not given the opportunity to present to the Inquiry committee nor was contacted by the committee to make a submission.

“It is also unfortunate that although the community groups were given the opportunity during the investigation conducted by the committee to raise their concerns and uninformed and biased opinions, Chunxing was not given the same opportunity to present their documentation and evidence to the enquiry,” he said.

“We would have also expected that the

parliamentary committee has had full access to the detailed Works Approval application submission by Chunxing to the EPA. “From the comments in the recommendation, this documentation was only referenced in statements from the EPA in demonstrating compliance.”

The project was approved by Planning Minister Richard Wynne after it was rejected by Latrobe City Council last year.

But an independent consultant commissioned

by Latrobe City had reviewed the Works Approval application, and recommended the project go ahead as it had met EPA requirements.

Dr Jayaweera said environmental measurements prior to starting the project, in commissioning and operation would provide more assurance to the community than an EES.

It would include online monitoring and controls, including dust sampling and laboratory analysis for lead and other materials at the stacks.

Chunxing will also voluntarily install monitoring stations for air sampling at the plant boundary and near the Hazelwood Primary School for any dust and gases in construction and operation.

“Chunxing will work with the community to not only conduct environmental monitoring but share and communicate both the online continuous monitoring data and interpreted summary information,” he said.

“This will provide far more assurance - that the nearby community nor the environment will suffer any impact from Chunxing - than any additional EES study could ever achieve.”

Summer works on Gippsland train line THE Department of Transport has announced coaches will replace trains along the entire Gippsland line early this year.

From January 12 to February 10 coaches will replace trains between Bairnsdale and Southern Cross while work commences along the line.

The work on the train line is part of the Gippsland Line Upgrade, and aims to provide more frequent and reliable services for passengers.

Works will be commencing in Traralgon, Morwell, Longwarry and Bunyip during this time.

The Department of Transport is urging people to allow extra time for their journeys for much of the summer holiday period, as works that commenced on Boxing Day will continue over this time.

Delays will be seen for people travelling to Melbourne and surrounding suburbs, with works happening on the Monash Freeway.

Crews will be laying 72’000 tonnes of asphalt as part of the work to add 36 kilometres of lanes between Warrigal Road and Eastlink and Cylde Road to Cardinia Road.

As part of this work there will be overnight freeway closures and daytime lane closures between Eastlink and Warrigal Road, as well as entry and exit ramp closures.

Director General Major Transport Infrastructure Authority Corey Hannett said that the projects will help Victoria move into the future.

“As Victorians take a well-deserved break, work on some of our biggest transport projects will be full steam ahead,” he said.

“As we continue to make progress on our huge program of works, Victoria’s Big Build is keeping thousands of workers in jobs and ensuring our state keeps moving into the future.”

New cap is announced for councils across Vic THE state government has set a new 1.75 per cent rate cap for all Victorian councils - including Latrobe City - for the 2022/23 financial year.

Minister for Local Government Shaun Leane announced the cap recently under the state government’s Fair Go Rates system.

The Fair Go Rates system began in 2016 to limit uncontrolled rate hikes and to provide councils with a framework to guide their budgeting and deliver services.

“We introduced the Fair Go Rates system to help reduce cost-of-living pressures for Victorians by preventing uncontrolled rate hikes from local councils across Victoria,” Mr Leane said.

“Community members have the chance to engage with their local councils as they make decisions about rate rises through their budget process each year.”

The cap is set each year by the Minister for Local Government with advice from the Essential Services Commission, guided by the Consumer Price Index.

Before the Fair Go Rates system was introduced residents faced an average rate increase of six per cent every year.

The current rate cap of 1.5 per cent is the lowest since the system was first introduced.

Councils collect rates from residents annually to fund infrastructure and services such as local parks, libraries, community centres, roads, kindergartens, waste collection and sports grounds.

Councils individually set rates for their municipalities every year through their budget process and must consult with their communities on decisions relating to budgets, rates, and other charges.

Keeping your pets safe in hot weather THE RSPCA is urging Victorians to keep pets safe and cool during summer.

For animals who live outdoors, it is important that owners take note of daily temperatures and take action.

Do not keep animals in hot cars, include them in holiday plans and ensure they have enough shade and water.

RSPCA Chief Executive Officer Dr Liz Walker said the consequences of leaving dogs in hot cars can be tragic.

“It only takes six minutes for a dog to die in a hot car as temperatures can rise to dangerous levels very quickly and can reach double the outside temperature even on mild days,” she said.

“Tinted windows, parking in the shade or leaving windows down do not reduce the inside temperature significantly.”

If pets do need to be left outside on warm days, the RSPCA recommends leaving multiple sources of cool clean water for them, ensuring that water bowls can’t be tipped over. Providing multiple sources accounts for spillage, evaporation, or leaks.

Multiple sources of shelter should also be provided to account for shade options and sun moving over the course of the day.

If going on a holiday, plan to take your pets with you, or organise a reliable friend, relative, neighbour or pet sitting service to care for them while you are away.

RSPCA Victoria released data from last financial year, reporting 1163 reports of abandoned animals last financial year, with 384 of these reports during last summer alone.

If leaving your animal at home, ensure to inform neighbours of your plans, and let them know your pet is being cared for so that they know they have not been abandoned.

The RSPCA reminded Victorians that responsible pet ownership comes with legal and moral obligations to keep pets safe.

“None of us want animals to suffer in the heat so always make plans for your pets to be kept happy and safe, even in milder summer weather,” Dr Walker said.

Mining magnate buys into Bega

Local expertise: Genertech owner Rob Mizzi is helping upgrade the 95-year-old heritage listed Westinghouse hydro electric motor.

photograph michelle slater

By MICHELLE SLATER

A PIECE of Victorian hydro-electric history has come to the Latrobe Valley with a 95-year-old heritage listed generator in town for a spruce up in a Morwell workshop The Westinghouse hydro generator was built in 1927 as part of the Lower Rubicon Power Station, which was commissioned in 1928.

Lower Rubicon comprises of a single 2.8 megawatt Westinghouse horizontal generator and a Boving Francis Turbine.

The generator has been taken to local company Genertech for a clean and overhaul to bring it into modern standards.

Lower Rubicon is one of four stations that make up the Rubicon or Mountain Streams Scheme. The scheme was the first mainland hydro-electricity scheme in Australia.

The scheme is protected under Heritage Victoria as very little has

changed, meaning operator AGL needs written permission to make any changes, particularly to its external or visible features.

AGL head of hydro Simon Kelley said they were working closely with Heritage Victoria to preserve as much character of the scheme as possible.

“Preserving assets that are close to 100 years old is a challenge but our engineers and maintenance teams are doing an excellent job, bringing years of experience and skills to this unique project,” Mr Kelly said.

Mr Kelly said the generator could be replaced if necessary, after advising Heritage Victoria.

He said the heritage body had been supportive in the past if any changes were required to keep the scheme operating.

The generator work is part of a larger high and medium voltage upgrade costing about $4 million, the largest program since it the scheme was first constructed.

A slice of history

WESTERN Australian ore mining giant Andrew Forrest bought a $108 million chunk of dairy processor Bega Cheese late last month.

An ASX announcement stated that Mr Forrest had purchased more than 20 million shares into the cheesemaker under his company Tattarang AgriFood Investments.

It means Mr Forrest has 6.61 per cent voting power into the company, which has a factory on Princes Drive in Morwell.

The purchase further diversifies the billionaire’s portfolio after he bought fine boot manufacturer RM Williams last year, on top of other interests in agri-foods, marine and pastoral.

It comes after Bega reported before Christmas it was focussing on managing the “cumulative effect of the direct and indirect costs associated with COVID-19”.

It stated these impacts had been “extensive and significant” ranging from market disruptions from lockdowns, factory shutdowns, increased safety and testing and major supply chain cost increases.

Other changes included key markets in China affecting infant and toddler dairy products sales.

“Despite positive seasonal conditions, farm milk supply across the Australian dairy industry remains flat to declining with strong competition for supply continuing,” Bega said in a company notice.

“The company expects upward pressure on farm gate milk prices to remain for the balance of the year reflecting high global dairy commodity prices, limited supply availability and the resultant competitive circumstances.”

But it also stated Bega was comfortable with the “overall operations of the business”.

This included confidence in brand quality, planned investments growth and efficiency investments and the company’s ability to respond to market opportunities in Australia and internationally.

It said the short-term impacts of COVID and a highly competitive milk procurement environment are expected impact to this financial year’s earnings.

The company expects normalised earnings before interest, tax and depreciation to be between $195 million to $215 million.

Awards recognise Great Girl Guides of Traralgon

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

TWO Traralgon Girl Guides have been recognised for their achievements in 2021.

Bridie Byrne and Kate Hibbins, both 17-years-old, have been members of the Traralgon Girl Guides for some time, and received important awards earlier this month.

Bridie was awarded the Girl Guide Of The Year Award for the Gippsland region, and Kate achieved her BP Award.

Region Manager for Gippsland, and District Manager for Traralgon Girl Guides Amanda Clark said she was incredibly proud of both girls achievements.

“Kate and Bridie have both been Guides for about nine years ... the two of them are very diligent and responsible young women,” she said.

“They’re just lovely girls and epitomise the qualities that we instilled in our members.”

Ms Clark said that Girl Guides is a fantastic confidence builder, and provides girls with many skills they will need in adulthood.

“We instill a lot of confidence in our girls to try new things and push themselves out of their comfort zones in a safe manner,” she said.

“Girl Guides gives them opportunities to take on leadership that is developmentally appropriate for their age group ... we instill leadership qualities right from the beginning.”

Bridie has taken on many of these opportunities, and despite having had a very challenging personal life over the last 12 months, her dedication to the Girl Guides has never waivered.

This is the first year the award to which Bridie won has been given and was created to recognise girls like Bridie who have demonstrated high levels of resilience and commitment to the Girl Guides throughout the year.

It will continue to be given to girls who have displayed similar commitment in the face of adversity, and sponsors

For Bridie, participating in a group like Girl Guides runs in the family.

“My mum was a part of Brownies in

the 80s ... she got me to start, and I’ve just come back term after term, year after year,” she said.

One of Bridie’s favourite things about the Guides is the opportunity to develop

new skills and create long lasting friendships.

“As we get older we get to take on more responsibilities and take on different challenges,” she said.

“For most of my guiding years I have always been one of the older girls ... it’s really cool to be a role model and inspire others.

“Girl Guide’s progresses you as a person and you learn so much along the way ... you can meet so many good friends and do so many things that you wouldn’t do otherwise.”

Another high achiever, Kate Hibbins, was awarded her BP Award this year, an award which see’s girls undertake 18 challenges for each area of the Girl Guide program.

As part of Kate’s BP journey, she kicked many goals.

To earn their BP, girl’s are tasked with completing various challenges in a number of areas.

She raised money for the Ronald McDonald House by staying on a six metre by six metre platform for a full 24 hours, she sent sewing supplies to African countries, attended climate change summits and learnt first aid and CPR. “I did a lot of challenges that I really, really enjoyed ... as a part of my outdoors section I got to do some abseiling and rock climbing - it was a bunch of fun, I definitely want to get back into it,” she said.

One of the best things about Girl Guides is the opportunity to make good friends, Kate said. She explained that herself and Bridie have been best friends for many years, and originally met through the Girl Guides.

“We are quite close friends, despite not going to the same school,” she said.

“Through Girl Guides we have been able to make a connection and form an absolutely incredible friendship.”

Kate will be taking time off next year to focus on her final year of schooling, however she is very proud of what she has achieved in her nine years at the Guides.

Gastro is on the rise in Victorian childcare REPORTS surfaced recently of viral gastroenteritis outbreaks in childcare facilities across Victoria, including the Latrobe Valley.

On Wednesday, December 22, the Department of Health announced that viral gastroenteritis (gastro) cases were on the rise in early childhood education and care services.

There has been a total of 56 outbreaks in childcare centres across the state since the beginning of November, a significant increase from the 19 cases that were seen during the same period last year.

There was three known outbreaks in the Latrobe Valley at the time The Express went to press, according to Latrobe City Council.

“Council is aware of three outbreaks in Latrobe City most recently and is working with the Department of Health to monitor the situation,” a council spokesperson said.

“We encourage the community to follow the directions of the Chief Health Officer and keep young children home until they are symptom-free for 48 hours.”

There was another gastro outbreak

earlier in 2021, after COVID restrictions eased in which the Health Department recorded 389 outbreaks up to the end of April - which was four times the average for that time of year.

Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said that gastro is a fast spreading virus.

“Gastroenteritis can spread quickly through settings such as early childhood education and care services, where children play and interact closely with each other and can readily spread their bugs,” Professor Sutton said.

“Camps and other activities where

children congregate also provide conditions where bugs can be passed on.”

Professor Sutton said that hand washing is the best defence against gastro.

However, unlike coronavirus, sanitiser is not the best defence.

“Handwashing with soap and water is still the best personal hygiene method to minimise the chance of spreading the virus,” he said.

“A good old-fashioned scrub with soap and warm water is the best way to remove the gastro virus from our hands and prevent passing it on to infect others.”

Flags to fly high at Grey Street Primary School FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester visited Grey Street Primary School, Traralgon recently to present the current and incoming school captains with new flags for the school.

Outgoing school captains Ruby Farmer, Murray Jones and Isaac Frost were on hand for the presentation, as were their successors in Miller Stoiljkovic, Makinley Monaghan, Izzy Heath and Mia Griffiths.

Students are currently enjoying their summer break, and will get back to the books next month.

For the graduating Year 6 cohort, the transition from primary to secondary school is not too far away.

The Range Retirement Village is a retirement living community in Moe, boasting high-quality residential villas set inside a gated community.

The Range offers elegant new and refurbished two and three-bedroom independent living villas, set in attractive and well-manicured surrounds. Our spacious and elegant villas feature an openliving area, well-appointed kitchen, private courtyard garden and single or double garage.

More swim teachers across the state

THE state government recently announced 280 people will be entering the workforce as swim teachers.

The hiring of those to this employment is intended to address the shortage of swimming teachers and help young people catch up on water safety education.

The $3.4 million initiative is a partnership between Jobs Victoria and the Australian Swim Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA), and will assist those who have lost employment during the pandemic, particularly those who were most impacted: Women over 45, people under 25, multicultural communities and people with disability.

The workers will earn while they learn, completing accredited swim instructor, water safety training, first aid and CPR training.

Tailored support is available to workers, including job-readiness training, dedicated individual mentoring and funding to purchase things such as swimwear.

“Our industry is in desperate need of swim teachers and this will meet the demand for lessons and provide an essential life skill for children,” ASCTA President Joanne Love said.

Minister for Employment Jaala Pulford welcomed the news.

“We’re all keen to get back in the water as the weather warms up so it’s vital we have swim teachers teaching our kids the knowledge and skills they need to be safe in the water,” she said.

“Getting those most impacted by the pandemic into employment is critical, as is getting young children back into lessons to prepare for the summer months.”

“It capitalises on what we have, culturally diverse people who are willing to share their food but also willing to engage in meaningful employment and might need a hand to understand what it takes to work in the hospitality sector, and through that develop connections,” she said.

The project not only helps to develop social connection, but is also good for participants mental health and wellbeing Mr Dodd said.

“The other part is the mental health component ... about staying healthy and learning about physical activity,” he reiterated.

GippSport’s funding is going toward their already established program KIDDO Gippsland, which works toward improving children’s physical literacy through building skills, knowledge and behaviours for active lives.

“It is born from all of the evidence and data that in Latrobe Valley specifically, that children are declining on their physical, emotional and social levels of competence,” Project Coordinator for KIDDO at GippSport Rachel Ronaldson explained.

“We were funded by the Latrobe Health Assembly to start this program for two to five year old Children and their families ... and this funding is going to allow us to bring that funding to Baw Baw residents and continue with Latrobe Valley.”

The program runs sessions for children to increase their physical literacy, both inside and outside of early learning centres.

“We have two streams, we run it in the community in tiny little isolated towns, and try and break down barriers that way ... and the other stream is through Early Learning Centres and early childhood care facilities.”

“We just want to get them in a situation where they are never going to turn up to Primary School or turn up to Early Learning and already feel under prepared. So we use game based recreation to try and make it super fun for them to move their bodies,” Ms Ronaldson said.

DFFH reports that the funding will be fully expended by September 30 2022.

Farhat Firdous has been working with Ms Duncan and GLTC Secretary Steve Dodd on the project.

“Farhat came to me with this big idea, that maybe we could create a pop-up restaurant that these people would be able to come to and work at, share their food with the community... but also create a business model essentially that could continue on employment for these people,” Ms Duncan explained.

The group started the project and it quickly grew much larger and quicker than they expected, which prompted them to apply for the new funding and extend their reach even further.

“We started the project and then it got quite large, the number of participants, and then we went to Steve and said, ‘hey Steve, we might need another person for this position’... that’s what we applied the grant for, was to get somebody else in who would be able to manage that project.”

THREE local organisations are among those receiving funding for innovative community projects.

The funding, allocated as part of the Latrobe Community Connection Grants Program from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH), intends to increase community engagement across the region in education, employment, sport and recreation, and social and community activities by reducing economic barriers.

Youth Support and Advocacy Service Gippsland (YSAS), Gippsland Regional Sports Assembly (GippSport) and the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council (GTLC) have been granted funding for their projects.

The organisations were invited to apply for the funding earlier in the year, and could apply for amounts from $20,000 to $150,000.

Each organisation is focusing the funding on their own unique projects, each zoning in on entirely different areas of community engagement.

Youth service YSAS is gearing up for a music program, which will see young people mentored by experienced musicians as a way of learning new skills and developing connections.

The musicians will be primarily selected from local talent, however some will be sourced from elsewhere in Victoria.

Music is something very close to YSAS Gippsland Manager Mark Tanti’s heart. He fondly recalls getting his first guitar as a child, and hopes the program will offer young people the same opportunity.

“I keep thinking about the people who really want to do music performance or learn an instrument, and they can’t afford to,” he said.

The program will enable young people to learn music performance and will provide the coaching and support to help them succeed.

It will also allow those participating the opportunity to show off their new skills through a number of performances during the year.

“We know that these skills gained in this area lead to other areas as well,” Mr Tanti said.

YSAS will be using the funding for things such as buying instruments and paying the musicians.

“We are trying to make the money stretch as far as we can, to get some instruments - second hand instruments from the community - we’ve also got to pay the musicians. We are going to get some people from Melbourne, but most of the people will be from Gippsland,” Mr Tanti said.

Mr Tanti explained that the program will get the community involved.

“We are hoping at the end of it we will be able to get these kids connected to doing live performances, and going to venues where there is jam nights and those types of things.”

“There’s power in community,” he added.

GTLC is using the funding for their Melting Pot Project, which aims to reach out and connect those in the multicultural space to each other and to the hospitality industry.

“There are big gaps in the multicultural space,” Kacie Duncan, GTLC Community Projects Officer said.

“Unemployment, and even in this day and age you see a lot of people get turned away from a job because they don’t speak English ... or they might go in dress differently, because that’s part of their culture - so it’s about breaking down those barriers.”

Power bills set to rise in 2022

Round the ground: Drivers lined the Traralgon Recreation Reserve on Tuesday, December 28 to get tested.

photograph liam durkin

Pressing deadline means little when in a lengthy testing queue

By LIAM DURKIN

OF the 365 days in a year, the majority unfold without any great surprises.

Tuesday, December 28 2021 gave no indication to me to appear as if it would be anything other than a regular working day.

The pages for The Express to be delivered the next day were as good as complete, and all seemed in readiness to simply ride into the Morwell office to put the finishing touches on another piece of local art.

A solemn text message however immediately derailed any chance of that: This is a message from the Victorian Department of Health.

Dear Liam, You may have been exposed to COVID-19 at ‘said’ location.

If you are a customer/patron that has visited this venue you are required to get a COVID-19 PCR test.

With that, and after an initial three word mumbling starting with the letter F, I made a few phone calls to see that The Express ship would keep sailing and headed off to Traralgon Recreation Reserve to get tested.

I left home in Traralgon just after 8am with thoughts that I would be in and out of the testing site in no more than an hour.

How wrong I was.

When I arrived the queue was already out the gate and onto Howitt Street.

Cars were lined in single file along both sides of

the street, with traffic slowly but surely making its way into the venue.

The journalist in me knew I was ideally situated for a photo opportunity, so while the traffic wasn’t moving I climbed on top of my car, surely raising a few eyebrows, to take a snap of the line of cars in front.

Once inside, drivers were required to scan a code linking them to an online questionnaire.

Despite the wait, I had enough to keep me occupied, trying to negotiate putting pages of a newspaper together, and more importantly, watching and listening to the third day of the Boxing Day test.

As the line of cars moved further along the Traralgon Recreation Reserve, eventually making its way up a small hill on the outskirts of the football oval, the end of the queue was at least within eyesight.

At this point, the single file line split in two, although the driver of a white Peugeot, thinking no one would mind if they went off road to jump out from the single lane to a space well before it was clear the second line started, clearly didn’t count on feeling the wrath of one particularly irate driver, who justifiably exited their own vehicle to let them know what they thought.

For all but one person in line doing the right thing, it was legs out the car window as the waiting game continued.

The ripple effect of how delays happen was evident by the number of times a huge gap was established in the queue by drivers who had perhaps dozed off.

I myself became momentarily anxious at the thought I was holding everyone up, as on one occasion my cars push start ignition decided not

to turn over because the system could not locate where the remote keys were.

After that mild panic attack I continued working as best I could on pages for The Express.

It was improvisation in its fullest sense given I had to have PDFs sent to my phone, then get on FaceTime with fellow journalist Alyssa Fritzlaff in Morwell to virtually walk through corrections and then have her send the pages out.

While all this was happening I quickly flicked back to the cricket to see what the latest was.

If I thought the line of people arriving to get tested was surprising, what had happened at the MCG was completely mind blowing.

“What? They’ve won already?”

Sure enough, the Aussies had the Ashes wrapped up before midday.

An hour and 15 minutes after Australia had taken the winning wicket I was leaving the testing site. About five hours I had waited, but I did make a point of saying to those working on site that they were doing a great job - for they were, and I would defy anyone to work better in the situation they are in.

I spent a day-and-a-half in quarantine before getting the all clear.

If COVID has taught us anything it is resilience and to think on the fly.

Who would have thought the front and final two sport pages of last Wednesday’s edition of The Express was put together from the driver’s seat of a car?

The Ashes has been a humiliating series for England.

Of all their embarrassments, surely nothing tops this: it took Australia less time to win the Ashes than it did for me to come back COVID-negative.

A MORWELL-based company will develop and incorporate new processes of utilising recovered materials across the supply chain thanks to federal government funding.

DASMA Environmental has received $2.1 million as part of the Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) funding program.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said DASMA Environmental would work to improve waste management principles at its Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and create a model for others to adopt.

“DASMA will further investigate how to optimise material recovery and then use this data to create a prototype and plan the supply chain to increase the use of recovered resources,” Mr Chester said.

“The project aim is to manufacture building products that can compete with the current market and help to diversify it.”

Mr Chester said the project would support local jobs and boost the regional economy.

“Investing in our local manufacturing industry ensures businesses are continuing to innovate and produce exceptional products right here in Gippsland,” Mr Chester said.

“It’s wonderful to see Gippsland businesses working at the forefront of the industry and I look forward to seeing the project outcomes.”

DASMA Environmental chief executive officer and managing director Eden Di Sipio said the project would optimise material recovery at DASMA’s Material Recovery Facility.

“The project will offset problems associated with mixed glass and soft plastic materials recovered at the MRF through the development of viable technologies that maximise the usability, purity and quality of technology adaptation governed by economic factors,” Mr Di Sipio said.

“I would like to thank the federal government for their support and providing this grant.”

DASMA Environmental was one of two Gippsland companies to receive funding as part of this round of Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P).

CRC-Ps can run up to three year and must have at least two Australian industry partners, including one small or medium sized business and one Australian research organisation partner.

Aries Eager Rams love starting projects

but often lack follow-through, so you can miss the Career Success Boat because you are rushing around and rarely finish things. But this week the Sun, Moon, Venus and Pluto are all moving through your job zone. So it’s time to complete an ambitious project with a fiery flourish! But remember Venus is retrograde, so make sure you double-check your work and are extra diplomatic with colleagues, clients and/or customers.

Taurus This week the focus is on

education, foreign connections and travel (in Covid-safe ways). Jupiter promises increased interactions with friends and colleagues whereas Saturn highlights work meetings and business conferences, either in-person or online. If you’re on vacation, then you may have to catch up with an urgent work matter.

Venus is still retrograde so a personal belief that was previously sacrosanct may be revisited, re-examined and reversed.

GGemini With bountiful Jupiter (planet of aspirations, big business and good luck) now activating your career zone, 2022 is a terrific year to tap into your entrepreneurial side and turn an innovative idea into a productive and prosperous venture. And this week is the perfect time to formulate a plan and then get started as the Sun, Moon, Venus and Pluto visit practical Capricorn. When it comes to a frustrating relationship problem, be proactive about finding a solution.

Cancer No less than five planets are

powering through your partnership zones.

If you’re attached, avoid being a clingy and co-dependent Crab. Strive to nurture your sweetheart in positive, passionate and productive ways. Are you unhappily single?

Venus reverses through your love zone until January 29, so any dating experiences are likely to be disapppointingg. Exppect you mayy have to kiss a few frogs before you finally find your Prince (or Princess) Charming!

Leo The waning New Moon highlights your

wellbeing zone so it’s a good time to start a healthy new diet or a challenging exercise routine. With innovative Uranus racing through your career zone, big changes are coming at work. If you want to survive and thrive in 2022, then you need to keep one step ahead of the professional pack. So, your motto is from David Bowie (who was born on January 8): “Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.”

Virgo g This week four planets fire up your

zonee of friends, hobbies and entertainment.

So, you have a strong desire to mix with your peer group but expect some frustrations along the way. If you are extra diplomatic and focus on the positives, then any temporary problems will soon be resolved. Your motto is from writer (and birthday great) Kahlil Gibran, who was born on January 6: “In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures.”

Libra As you settle into the new rhythms of

2022, home is where the heart is. You’ll enjoy spending quality time with loved ones, as you beautify your living space and get stuck into an overdue DIY project. But remember Venus is reversing through your family zone until January 29. So, you’ll need to approach domestic matters with extra tact and sensitivity. On the weekend, resist the temptation to get carried away and overspend at the New Year Sales.

Scorpio The waning New Moon encourages

you to reach out and help others, both within your circle of family and friends and within your neighbourhood. The close community connections you foster now will prove beneficial in the year ahead. But steer clear of negative thinkers!

Make sure the people around you are a powerful influence in positive ways. With impulsive Mars racing through your money zone, avoid going overboard at the New Year Sales.

Sagittarius g The times they are

a’chaanging! And are you feeling worried that you can’t keep up with the constant frantic pace? Dynamic Mars moves through your sign (until January 24) so strive to be as proactive as possible. Other people are looking to you for leadership. Motivation for the week is from singer and activist Joan Baez (who was born on January 9, 1941): “Action is the antidote to despair.” The weekend is a wonderful time to socialise with family and friends.

Capricorn The planetary focus is firmly on you as the Sun, Moon, Venus and Pluto all power through Capricorn. You’ll be at your creative, charming best … and your demanding, controlling worst! If someone pushes your emotional buttons, cool down and compromise otherwise you’re likely to over-react and make the situation worse.

Peace-planet Venus is retrograde until January 29, so you’lll find a dash of diplomacy will get you a lot further than bossy behaviour.

Aquarius q On Monday morning the Sun,

Mooon, Pluto and retrograde Venus are visiting your solitude and spirituality zone. So activities like meditation, prayer and yoga will prepare you for the busy week ahead. With Saturn still sauntering through your sign, substantial success will take time to manifest, and you’ll have to be satisfied with small, incremental accomplishments along the way. Your motto is from birthday great, J. R. R. Tolkien: “Little by little, one travels far.”

Pisces The Sun, Moon, Venus and Pluto

stimulate your peer group zone, so surround yourself with friends and colleagues who celebrate your talents and encourage your dreams. Expect a mid-week creativity surge when Neptune and Venus stimulate your fertile imagination. It’s important that you tap into the Piscean muse within. As actress, director, writer, photographer (and birthday great) Diane Keaton says: “I want to keep expressing myself until I’m not alive.”

Innovation could see dairy exports rise significantly

THE state government is working to keep raw milk fresher for longer as part of a trial that could unlock more export opportunities and create a sustainable future for dairy farmers.

Minister for Regional Development and Agriculture Mary-Anne Thomas recently announced the completion of theWhite Tide project trial that has tested technology to extend the shelf life of raw milk, enabling it to be exported as part of the state government’s ‘Stronger Regional Communities Program’.

Dairy farmers are currently restricted by a 36-hour limit in which raw milk must be processed before it spoils,which prevents them from tapping into overseas export markets.

The trial looks into new game-changing technology that effectively stops the clock, with patented processes and a 24,000-litre tank enabling raw milk to be stored significantly longer and shipped direct from the farm gate to Asia.

This innovation meets strict international standards and could lead to increased dairy exports.

In an Australian first, the White Tide project has received import approval for raw milk into one of the country’s major Asian trading partners.

The project is expected to increase dairy farmer profits, create jobs and benefit rural communities boosting raw milk sales.

Ms Thomas said it was an exciting development.

“Victorian dairy farmers have faced many challenges over the years with drought, bushfires and the pandemic - this initiative and game-changing technology will help to make dairy farming more profitable and support local jobs,” she said.

Victorian dairy farmers will be able to tap into a range of opportunities by having access to international markets.

Victoria accounts for nearly 70 per cent of the $13 billion Australian dairy industry, with northern Victoria producing one-third of the state’s total six billion litres of milk.

The White Tide Project is a partnership between Greater Shepparton Council, AgriGate Australia, and other local and international partners.

The Stronger Regional Communities Program is part of the government’s flagship Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, which helps businesses create jobs in regional Victoria, supports community projects and backs councils to build the infrastructure that locals and visitors need.

Campaign aims to reduce number of men drowning A NEW advertising campaign is warning men in Victoria not to think they are an ‘Unsinkable Guy’ in a push to reduce drowning deaths across the state.

A staggering four out of five drowning deaths in Victoria over the past 10 years have involved men aged 25 to 64.

Inflatable ‘unsinkable guys’ feature in the TV, radio, print, digital and social media campaign to highlight a number of the dangers that led to 61 drownings in 2020/21.

Close to one-third of all drowning deaths in the state over the past decade involved alcohol.

The advertising campaign commenced on Sunday, December 19 as part of a new summer water safety message to reach at-risk groups in the community in the hopes of a safer summer.

The campaign is built on extensive research that shows men often underestimate drowning dangers to themselves, despite looking out for others.

The campaign asks them to rethink their risks around the water. The research shows that men are also less likely to heed water safety messages.

Minister for Emergency Services Jaclyn Symes also recently launched a new Victorian Water Safety Strategy to encourage people to safely enjoy activities in and around the water and to drive drownings to zero.

Ms Symes said it was vitally important people understood the dangers associated with being in and around water.

O n li n e

“Nobody is unsinkable - too many Victorians have been lost to water tragedies who could still be with their loved ones today,” she said.

“We’re urging all Victorians to be alert to potential risks around water so that we can all have a safe and fun summer, but particularly men who tend to underestimate and misjudge the risks to themselves.”

“We want all Victorians to enjoy our beautiful waterways this summer, but we also want them all to come home - the Unsinkable Guy reminds us all that there are still risks around water.”

Drowning related deaths are a risk across the community, with the strategy aimed at reducing the risk at beaches, lakes, rivers and dams, at home, as well as public and private pools and ponds.

The new Water Safety Strategy for 2021-25 maps out steps to tackle a range of contributing factors such as the growing number of people visiting the water, demand for water safety education programs, and education for people using recreational vessels. The state government is investing $8.5 million with Life Saving Victoria for critical water safety initiatives to help reduce the number of drownings in Victoria and to support the extension of the lifesaving season in 2021/22.

A further $71.5 million is supporting swimming lessons and resources for primary school children.

The Guide THE WAR OF THE WORLDS ABC TV, Friday, 9pm

This epic three-part miniseries is the latest take on H.G. Wells’ classic alien invasion story and tries to stay as close to the 1897 novel as possible. Set in 1905 England, hi-tech gadgetry is well out of place, so when a mysterious capsule lands in the Surrey countryside, the political leaders of the day call on residents – in typical British fashion – to “keep calm and carry on”. But when scores of people are killed the brutal reality of an extraterrestrial attack is impossible to avoid. Starring Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) and Rafe Spall, this is a gripping and innovative version of the sci-fi favourite.

US ABC TV, Saturday, 8.20pm

Novelist David Nicholls is a prolific writer of the sorts of books that get under your skin because of the sheer humanness of the characters’ foibles and interactions. He took book to screen in this four-part adaptation, staying on as screenwriter which gives Us a rare sense of authenticity.

Douglas (Tom Hollander, pictured) traipses around Europe on a family holiday in the hopes of winning back the love of his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves). Clinging on to the idea of the family unit as he knew it, he is also eager to mend the relationship with his son Albie (Tom Taylor). In the finale, Douglas faces an emergency in Barcelona.

We all know the dramas never stop unfolding on Ramsay Street or in Lassiters Hotel, but fans were left for a rude shock this past season when the veteran soapie actually did take a break. In fact, for three long weeks, Paul (Stefan Dennis) and the crew disappeared from our screens. It was a shock after the show did not stop for a breath of air at all last year, but now we are safely back into the swing of life in Erinsborough. Roxy (Zima Anderson, pictured) is bursting with happiness to have her mother back in town for the wedding. Meanwhile, Jane (Annie Jones) has enough of Paul’s selfishness and snaps at him.

It’s classic Neighbours melodrama.

The world is rife with heavily edited reality shows that come with a cavalcade of camera crews behind the scenes. However, we all suspect that the folks trying to survive in the jungle or race across the world with empty wallets are secretly being handed a packet of chips or a chocolate when the cameras aren’t rolling, which is what makes this Canadian series unique. In Alone, the contestants are left to their own devices and must film their own footage as they try to survive in the wilderness. It’s genius and compelling viewing. In this special, we find out how the producers decide who makes the cut for this gruelling show.

MULTIPLE lanes in Melbourne closed to traffic for push bike riders, when one lane would do. The overhead railways may stop level crossing accidents but can they carry freight and this will put more trucks on the road, this may explain the congestion of trucks in central Melbourne with pedestrians in Melbourne having near misses with trucks. It has shifted the problem from one place to another. Glenn Grady.

HE came to fame by remembering the price of a litre of milk, back flipped on the GST. When conscription was looming over head from a war zone, he sent his son overseas. Jail was looming to stop minority parties from gaining power for his own gain. Allocated his port folios down to a Christmas card. Sold our gas overseas for little gain. Over valued the housing market by bringing in the first home buyers scheme. He devalued the labour market by bringing in casual labour.

He squashed the union movement at the docks, he shafted his mates chances of being a hero.

With all the money he has, he sponged off the Yanky benefit club for a cheap holiday. He lost power by greed, trying to being in deregulation of the labour market.

Glenn Grady.

Declan’s delight at Demons triumph FOOTBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

WHILE countless Melbourne supporters across the region have no doubt watched the replay of their AFL premiership multiple times since the grand final was played, emotions of a different kind were felt by another local who had a personal connection to some of the players.

Former Melbourne player and Moe resident Declan Keilty played alongside the likes of Max Gawn, Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver during his time at the Demons from 2017 to 2019.

A St Kilda supporter as a kid, Keilty has adopted Melbourne as the team he now follows most closely.

With the dust settled since the Demons momentous victory, Keilty, who is the new senior coach of the Moe Football-Netball Club, said the fact Melbourne won an AFL flag after 57 long years had officially sunk in.

“I did get a bit emotional towards the end,” he said.

“I’ve spoken to some of the guys since, it is pretty special for them to be able to win the flag after so long.

“It was special for me to be able to watch it because I played with most of them. There was a little bit of me that wished I was still there but at the same time I was just thrilled they won.”

It was not all smooth sailing during the grand final, as a goal early in the third quarter from Western Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli left Melbourne with a 19 point deficit to overcome.

Keilty felt signs were ominous at this stage of the game, but said a crucial moment from midfielder James Harmes allowed the Demons the chance to settle.

“I thought that momentum shift the Bulldogs had in the second quarter might have put Melbourne in a position where they wouldn’t be able to come back,” he said.

“There was probably that defining moment when James Harmes won on the wing, kicked it to Bayley Fritsch who kicked a goal from the pocket. From there they just piled the goals on. That was probably the defining moment, if they had of lost that contest they potentially could have lost the game.”

Pile the goals on Melbourne did, as they kicked seven majors in under nine minutes to virtually take the game away from the Bulldogs.

Like all watching the match, Keilty was stunned by what unfolded.

“It was really interesting to hear Petracca talk about it after the game when one of the coaches grabbed him and said ‘you have to take hold of this moment’,” he said.

“Instead of them going safe with the way they were playing their footy they really attacked and that was the main reason they won, they weren’t afraid to put it to the Bulldogs. Because they were down by 19 points it was basically the only option they had, they stuck with it and it worked out.”

Come three quarter time, Melbourne had a comfortable but by no means safe 24 point lead, but further goals early in the final term stretched the lead further, as the last 15 minutes turned into more or less a formality.

In the end, the Demons won 21.10 (140) to 10.6 (66), with the 74-point margin their largest ever in a grand final.

Given Melbourne’s recent history, Keilty didn’t want to celebrate too early, but decided to call it once he saw players and coaches embracing on the side lines.

“I’m always a bit sceptical. It was probably about five minutes left when I saw Goody (coach Simon Goodwin) start shaking everyone’s hand and giving big hugs, that’s when I was like ‘we’ve won it, we’ve definitely got it in the bag now’,” he said.

When the siren did finally sound, Keilty said he felt a range of emotions.

“I was just happy, joyful and a bit relieved,” he said.

“Football is a tough business. They had a period of time where they struggled as a club. Culturally they had to fix things up. I’m sure every club has gone through that stage, probably not to the extreme that Melbourne had to go through. It almost takes the club to get to the bottom to be able to turn around and get to the top.

“I was happiest for Simon Goodwin, the way he presents himself in the media that’s exactly what you get as a person. He’s a genuinely nice guy, he sacrificed a lot for the club.

“There was a tipping point where they almost got rid of him once we finished 17th in 2019 I think a lot of people wanted him out. To the clubs credit they understood his importance to the group, I was just happy for him that all his effort showed through.

“The drought was mentioned during my time at the club. Goody was big on the idea of a higher purpose. That is something that stuck with me. It is the reason why we play footy and one of those high purposes was ending the premiership drought.

“Max Gawn was probably the second person I was most happy for.

“He is unbelievable. His character, he is an amazing person, a great leader. I was really excited for him when he was named captained, it’s in his nature to lead.”

Keilty said this positivity was part of the now premiership coaches mantra.

“He’s in a position where if he is doubtful that they are going to win then that carries through the whole group,” he said.

“If he showed signs of negativity that would have taken onto the field. That’s what I like about Goody, the type of vibe he creates is compelling and you take that energy out onto the ground.”

Away from the emotional side, Keilty believed one key area had enabled Melbourne to win this year’s premiership.

“Their game style has changed since I was there,” he said.

“Their biggest thing now is their ability not to cough up the ball. To be able to under pressure, just to be able to keep the ball alive and keep it in their possession. In earlier years Melbourne had a tendency to just give up the ball to the opposition.”

As the Demons moved through the season just gone, Keilty felt Melbourne was primed for a realistic shot at the flag as the business end approached.

“It was actually the second time they played Adelaide (in Round 22),” he said.

“Throughout the year they were beating a lot of teams but they weren’t flogging teams, but then when they versed the Suns, belted them by 98 points, and Adelaide, belted them by 41. It was probably at that point I thought they were in a really good spot.

“My hope before the season was just Melbourne would finish top eight. I honestly didn’t think they would have won the grand final. I probably would have put my money on someone else.”

Any doubts surrounding Melbourne’s credentials were surely squashed following their walk-on-water type preliminary final annihilation of Geelong.

as the best they had ever seen their side perform, a view shared by Keilty.

“It was unbelievable. It just seemed like no matter what they did it would work and vice-versa anything Geelong did they couldn’t do anything right,” he said.

“I think it was just one of those days.”

Keilty’s own career at Melbourne netted just two senior appearances in 2019, but the achievement in getting as far as he did was noteworthy considering the journey he went through.

The 26-year-old took the long way to the top, slogging it out in the VFL for a number of years before being picked up in the 2017 rookie draft.

During his VFL days Keilty would work from 6am to 4pm and then go to training.

At one stage he was sleeping on a couch at a friend’s place that was too small for him, and also working at a car wash on weekends to make a few extra bucks.

It would be another two years from the time he was drafted to the time he made his debut, but the hard work eventually paid off, and Keilty ran out for his first AFL game against Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 7 of the 2019 season.

The car wash to the MCG must have felt worlds apart.

Reflecting on the game, which Melbourne won, Keilty said it was a great experience.

“I was pretty nervous. I was okay leading up to the game, but running out onto the MCG and just before the bounce the nerves started kicking in.

“The game itself I thought I did alright, the nerves got me a fair bit, I didn’t think they would get me that hard, but I still enjoyed the day.

“It was lightning quick, you almost have to predict where the ball is going to go. If you are watching the ball your defender or the opposition is already on the move.

“I played in a couple of VFL grand finals before, I thought they were quick, but this was on another level.

“I played up forward and switching into the ruck.

In my first ruck contest Jarryd Roughead gave me the biggest corky in the quad of my life. I think I beat Ben McEvoy once so I’ll claim that.

“The thing I’m most proud of is being able to share the first game with mum and dad. That was pretty special.

“I had some family and friends out in the crowd.

To be able to see them after the game and share that experience with them made it all worth it.

“That was definitely number one. It might have only been two games but to me it was everything.”

For what it is worth, Keilty rated Christian Petracca as the best he had played with.

However, Keilty was quick to point out the man who now has a Norm Smith Medal was also one of the most diligent trainers he had come across.

“The reason he is such a good player is he works hard, regardless of how talented he is he wouldn’t have got anywhere near the calibre of player he is without the hard work that he’s done,” Keilty said.

“Playing Collingwood in the VFL one day there was a three on one, Petracca was the one and he managed to win the ball and hit this beautiful lead up inside 50.

“I remember standing there thinking ‘this kid is going to be something special.”

Like all premiership teams, there are always good stories to come out of them, and Melbourne is no exception.

Bayley Fritsch kicked six goals in the Demons grand final victory, but many may be surprised to learn he wasn’t even getting a game three years ago.

Fritsch played alongside Keilty in the 2018 VFL grand final, and his rise from virtual nobody to household name could provide a lesson in persistence to footballers across Gippsland as pre-season for 2022 gets underway.

Elly races to the nationals ATHLETICS

By LIAM DURKIN

RISING athletics star Elly Fleming is preparing to take part in the Australian National Athletics Championships.

The Glengarry local, who competes with Moe Little Athletics and Wellington Athletics Club, will fly out to Sydney in March for the Championships.

Having found her niche as a middle distance runner, Fleming is aiming to literally put her best foot forward in the harbour city.

Fleming will run the 800 metre event after gaining a qualification time of two minutes-18 seconds in the lead-up.

The 15-year-old is no stranger to Championships, having competed at the Nationals last year as well.

“I’m definitely looking forward to it, it was a great experience at the start of last year, now that I’m a bit comfortable there (at Championships) it will be really great to try it again,” she said.

“Hopefully I can make the final of the 800m and better my times.

“If I can run a PB against the best in Australia that would be great because then I have known I have tried my best at the event, so that would be the ultimate goal.”

Fleming has put in a mountain of practise on the

“It’s been great to be with him since I was about eight-years-old to come this far with him,” she said.

“Denis has taught me to just stick at it. I definitely wasn’t the quickest runner when I was younger,

I didn’t stand out but I’ve just trained really hard over the years and now my results are starting to pay off.”

As well as this, the youngster, who identified Australian Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson as her idol, said support from family in helping her get to training in not only Moe, but Sale and Melbourne was certainly appreciated.

“Mum (Tanya) and dad (Wayne) every Monday take me down to Sale and of course my sister (Kaydence) I always train with her and she pushes me very hard,” she said.

With an infectious love of athletics and terrific attitude to the sport, Fleming said while results were important, above all else she was seeking to keep finding enjoyment out on the track.

“I just want to keep progressing and doing my very best, if that means I get to compete oversees that would be amazing,” she said.

“What’s made me stick at it since I was six-yearsold is running around the track with the friends I had at Little Aths so it’s been good to grow up with them through the years.

“As long as I’m having fun and doing my best that’s what I want to do.”

Andre’s record performance at Churchill PARKRUN

CHURCHILL Parkrun continued throughout the holiday period, with a highlight being a new course record by Andre Waring on Christmas Day. Waring covered the five kilometre course in 15 minutes, six seconds, bettering his own 2018 course record time of 15 minutes, 33 seconds.

Waring’s outstanding time was not his best Parkrun time, having run Geographe Bay in Busselton in 14 minutes, 58 seconds in 2019.

The Christmas Day event at Churchill attracted 35 finishers, including runners, joggers and walkers.

On New Years Day, 47 completed the event despite the oppressive heat touching 40 degrees.

Churchill Parkrun is on every Saturday morning starting at 8am at Churchill Hub. The course follows Eel Hole Creek, with two laps of a defined course. All runners, joggers and walkers are welcome to complete the course, and receive a time by email shortly after the event. All participants are required to do is register on the Parkrun Australia website, where they will receive a barcode to bring to any event throughout the world.

The events are run totally by volunteers, who are rostered to carry out weekly tasks such as timekeeping, barcode scanning, photography and marshalling.

Anyone interested in being involved is most welcome.

LVDCL gets going for second-half CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE second-half of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League season commences this weekend.

Players will return from a three week break over Christmas and New Year, which will present team leaders with a tricky challenge in trying to make sure their troops do not go into the first lot of matches in 2022 still in ‘holiday mode’.  MORWELL WILL LOOK TO STAY ON TOP OF THE LADDER WHEN IT TRAVELS TO YINNAR TO PLAY RAIDERS.

ONLY a masterful innings of 122 not out from Moe great Andrew Philip has been arguably all that has prevented Morwell from remaining unbeaten in the first half of season 2021/22, as they have answered most challenges that have come their way.

However, that was then and this is now, and for now the challenge will be defeating a Raiders team that, like their ageing veterans, refuses to go away.

Raiders has won three games and lost two, but its form line has gone: win, loss, win, loss, win.

Such a trend has probably been indicative of the make-up of the Raiders team, which has key players in Liam Maynard and Madura Perera, veterans in Chris Stanlake and Mick Higgins, and a sprinkling of kids such as Harry McColl, Ben Burrows and Tim Hutchinson.

Adding some experience and class might help address this inconsistent form line, and Raiders star Brad Knowles appears the logical choice to come into the side provided he is fit and able to.

Word had been circulating in LVDCL circles pre-Christmas that the former first class cricketer would make a return after the break, and now that the time has come, great interest will take place to see whether or not this is the case.

If Knowles plays it could set up a great showdown with Morwell counterpart Brendan Brincat.

The pair have been snicking batsman off for decades with their deadly seam and swing bowling, and could each hold the key to their team’s success.

Morwell has been complemented by a very deep batting order this season, and only a fool would try to argue the Tigers do not have to most daunting card in the competition.

With a player like Blake Mills, who has played Victorian Premier Cricket firsts, coming in as low as seven, Morwell is indeed blessed.

This depth has allowed the Tigers to structure their innings almost like a Gippsland Cricket League match. Stroke makers such as Blair Clymo and Mark Cukier up top can keep the scoreboard ticking and have Morwell looking at a score around the 200 mark, while if they happen to lose a few wickets in the first session they have players who can bat for long periods like Jordan Campbell to try and scratch out a handy score around 150-160.

It is clear Morwell has put a lot of work into its entire batting line-up this season - even the tailenders are more than capable of being 10 off 20 balls rather than traditional tailenders who might be two off 20, meaning Raiders will need to work hard to snare all 10 wickets.  MIRBOO NORTH AND CHURCHILL WILL MEET IN THE GRAND FINAL REMATCH.

THE second placed Cobras will make the trek up to Mirboo North who are equal fourth on points.

Mirboo North could see the season restart as an opportunity to follow a similar narrative to what happened 12 months ago where they did not drop a game after the main break on their way to the flag.

Despite the Tigers saying farewell to a number of premiership players since lifting the trophy last March, Churchill will be cautious of their opponents, particularly captain Jesse Giardina, who plundered a man-of-the-match innings of 85 against them in that decider.

Giardina might also hold an ace up

Page 28 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 5 January, 2022

his sleeve as a former Churchill player himself, and know what bowling changes and fields opposite number John Keighran is likely to set.

Giardina is one of the few batsman in the league that really looks to attack the military mediums of Churchill’s Steve Warr, and this battle could prove decisive in determining the winner of the match.

Warr is likely to play cat-and-mouse with Giardina, and if he has to sacrifice going for a few boundaries in order to prize his wicket before the Tigers skipper is truly set it is probably a risk he is willing to take.  LATROBE WILL WELCOME CATS TO PETER SIDDLE OVAL.

THE two teams appear to have been cut from the same cloth so far in season 2021/22 in that they have each been the unfortunate losers in matches decided by one wicket.

The Sharks have lost one game by a wicket, while CATS, somewhat bizarrely, have twice had victory snatched from their palm by a last wicket stand.

While both teams have justifiable reason to believe they have been hard done by, they can ill-afford to sit back in self-pity as there is still plenty of cricket to be played.

Latrobe new recruit Navin Gomez seemed to find his feet toward the end of last year, with his figures in his last two games reading 5/54 from 17 overs, and he is sure to provide the CATS batsman with plenty to think about.

CATS opening bat Jamie Cochrane ended 2021 with scores of 50 and 87, and he will want to pick up where he left off.  JEERALANG-BOOLARRA AND TRAFALGAR WILL FIGHT IT OUT FOR THE TITLE OF ‘CONCRETE KINGS’ ON THE BOOLARRA SYNTHETIC WICKET.

THE Panthers have a rare home game at their actual home ground, and will want to make the most of it against their fellow hard deck companions.

As the only two clubs in the A Grade competition without a turf wicket, the one time Jeeralang-Boolarra and

Trafalgar are able to play on their home grounds is when they play against each other.

Despite the toll travelling away virtually every week for the best part of four years has no doubt had on both clubs, the Panthers and Ships deserve a fair amount of credit for the performances they have put on the park: The Ships have won an A Grade premiership - the Panthers have played in the last four finals series.

Trafalgar hasn’t lost to JeeralangBoolarra since 2018, but by the same token, haven’t necessarily found the going easy against the Panthers, who have generally made the Ships fight hard for the points. So hard in fact, Trafalgar players were reported to have been singing and dancing to the Gwen Stefani song ‘The Sweet Escape’ after getting away with a draw in a two day match in 2019/20 that seemed destined to end in defeat after day one.

The Boolarra synthetic wicket might also give Trafalgar players something to adapt to, as contrary to popular belief, synthetic wickets do not all have the same consistent bounce that allows batsman to rock back and wait for the ball. The quality and age of the concrete underneath and how recently the astro strip was laid are all factors in determining how the ball behaves.

Jeeralang-Boolarra was a bit hot and cold in the first half of the season, but with players the likes of all-rounder Nila Thillekarathna, pace bowler Matt McGrath and captain Ben Heath, who sits inside the top five on the league runs aggregate, most pundits in the LVDCL see the Panthers as every bit an ‘on their day’ team, meaning they could well make 300 in a one dayer or blast a team out cheaply if everything clicks for them ‘on their day’.  MOE WILL HOST CENTRALS AT TED SUMMERTON RESERVE.

THE Lions go into the clash with four wins on the trot, and will want to take it to five against a team it may meet again in the finals.

Moe has been quietly but surely

getting the job done so far this season, and what’s more, seemed to have unearthed a few hidden gems along the way.

While the abilities of Andrew Philip and Joel Mitchell are well documented, the Lions have found contributions from a few somewhat unlikely sources as well.

Opening bowler Robert Blunt has taken his game to another level and is now leading the attack and is arguably the most improved player in the competition In his last three games Blunt has only gone for 43 runs in 28 overs, meaning his economy rate is just 1.54 - an amazing stat considering all matches this season are one dayers.

For various reasons Moe has already used 16 players in the firsts this season, but that being said, it appears captain/ coach Pat Spiteri has simply adopted a ‘next man in’ policy - so far to great effect.

Just in the last game Troy Oakley did a job at number seven, making 41 batting mostly with the lower order to take Moe to an eventual winning total of 9/176.

Having players come in and make an immediate impact will surely provide Spiteri with a good problem to have at the selection table as he could have a plethora of options to choose from.

Big hitting Centrals captain/coach Rob Webber and middle order batsman Mark Rawson should enjoy playing at Ted Summerton, and will want to make use of what has been a belter of a wicket so far in season 2021/22.

Should either of Webber or Rawson get going, it could become a six-hitting competition between the pair, and Moe will want to see the back of them as early as possible.

Traditionally Centrals and Moe each abide by the formula that: wickets in hand equals runs, equals wins, so this match may well be a case of who can play their own game better.  TRARALGON WEST HAS THE BYE.

Report card time in the TDCA

get flatter we could see him become even more devastating as the season progresses.

Toongabbie has some good young players coming through their lower grades at the moment and are getting plenty of opportunity to develop as well which will put some pressure on the A Graders as the finals near.

CRICKET TDCA

THE TDCA has completed six rounds so far in the 2021/22 season with a further eight to go until finals.

The reports are in for the league’s seven clubs so lets have a deep look at the report cards.

Ex Students (Ladder Positions – A Grade 1st, B Grade 2nd, C Grade 1st)

THE Sharks are tracking nicely and will be confident of featuring in all three grades for finals again this season.

A rumour which was swirling around about Jackson McMahon leaving the region at the Christmas break for a move to sunny Queensland seems to be a truthful one which not only hurts Ex Students chances of winning the premiership but also the TDCA’s representative premiership aspirations as well.

A returning Rob Voss has the team buoyed and after Lee Stockdale was unavailable last match due to work he should return and pick up right where he left off … in devastating form.

Ex Students has been able to blood a few younger players as well to full effect with Zachary Bastin and Nathan Thomson both getting their chance at the highest level.

It looks like the Sharks are focusing on bringing some young players through with their top three wickettakers in B Grade all being under the age of 18 and three out of their top five wicket takers in C Grade being under the age of 16, so to be able to develop players while still maintaining their position on top of the ladder is fantastic.

Prediction: It’s hard to see the Sharks slipping down the ladder too far and they will be looking to atone for last season’s grand final losses in all three grades so this will be when they start putting their foot down and getting primed for a big finals campaign.

One to watch: Mitch Harris is having an outstanding season but seems to be flying under the radar a bit. The star all-rounder is averaging 47.5 with the big whomping willow he uses and his aggressive quick bowling has netted him eight wickets at 13.5 so far this season.

Overall Mark: A. Hard to give them anything other than an A as they just do things incredibly well.

Stat Leaders: A Grade: Batting - Lee Stockdale 182 runs @ 91.00 Bowling – Andrew Matthews 8 wickets @ 11.00, B Grade: Batting – Adam Jaensch 131 runs @ 26.20 Bowling – Nathan Thomson 6 wickets @ 9.33, C Grade: Batting – Paul Richards 98 runs @ 49.00 Bowling – Trevor Kosterman 6 wickets @ 13.17.

Glengarry (Ladder Positions – A Grade 2nd, B Grade 6th, C Grade 5th)

THE Magpies A Grade side has matchwinners everywhere and it just seems whoever stands up on the day will get the job done.

The most consistent player though is Frank Marks, who is having a stellar season having already made 190 runs at an average of 63.33 with two 50s under his belt.

For those who have played out at Glengarry this season it’s quite a scary thought to go out and be bowling to such a deep and devastating batting line up as the wicket is an absolute batting paradise with pace and the truest bounce of any wicket in the league this season, not to mention an outfield which is lightning quick as well.

It means the likes of Frank Marks, Nat Freitag and Al Jenkin all have a great chance to pile on runs after Christmas and fill their boots as they head into finals.

Glengarry’s bowling attack is getting the job done as well.

Freitag is leading the charge with nine wickets and he continues to bowl very quickly as debate rages on across the league on who is quicker, Nat Freitag or Toongabbie’s Keenan Hughes?

Hopefully this question is answered come finals time in March, but for now the debate can continue on.

Glengarry’s lower grades aren’t faring quite as well as the A Grade but there’s plenty of positives still. James Porter is back bowling well and young gun Gareth Waack Hawkins continues to improve each season.

Marvellous Magpies: Glengarry are leading the chasing pack behind high-flyers Ex Students in the TDCA A Grade competition. photograph alyssa fritzlaff Prediction: Although they sit second at the moment after dropping a game to Toongabbie, Glengarry still look like the team to beat this season. They have all bases covered and have some massive star power as well which has proven to hold up on the big stage.

One To Watch: Brandon Mayberry is a player on the rise and certainly someone to watch for. He’s picked up a yard in pace with his bowling and his fielding is electric so he will have a big part to play at the pointy end of the season.

Overall Mark: B. The club is doing everything right off field and their A Grade are almost perfect. The lower grades seem to be struggling which is why they get a lower mark than an A. Stat Leaders: A Grade: Batting – Frank Marks 190 runs @ 63.33 Bowling – Nathan Freitag 9 wickets @ 10.0; B Grade: Batting – Peter Marks 125 runs @ 31.25 Bowling – James Porter 5 wickets @ 27.20; C Grade: Batting – Ashleigh Hodson 141 runs @ 47.0 Bowling – Ashleigh Hodson 5 wickets @ 16.0

Gormandale (Ladder Positions – A Grade 7th, B Grade 1st, C Grade 6th)

TO say the Tigers have had a rocky season is an understatement as their A Grade side struggled right from Round 1.

After coming off a season where all the luck went their way in 20/21, the cricketing gods are equalling things up a little bit and the Tigers haven’t been able to respond.

There are plenty of positives so far this season for Gormandale as they have been in every game they’ve played, but they just haven’t been able to land a killer blow when needed.

Nat Campbell would be easily the Tigers best player this season as he leads the runs for the Gormandale A Grade.

His hard-hitting approach has been exciting to watch, but he needs the likes of Matt Hibbs and Chris Lehner to build big scores around him.

It’s been a complete turn around for the Tigers B Grade though who have struggled to win a game in the last few years and now find themselves undefeated on top of the ladder while the C Grade after copping a pounding at the hands of Imperials, bounced back and are enjoying playing cricket regardless.

Some genuine player development is also taking shape for the Tigers this season as Campbell Peavey is enjoying a good time with the ball and Hayden Richards has settled into the A Grade team nicely.

Prediction: A strong second half of the season is needed for the A Grade to play finals but it’s not out of the realms of possibility. Five wins will get a team in the top four this year and although current form may not suggest it the Christmas break might just be the thing to turn it all around.

One to watch: When the wickets get flatter and ground become quicker after Christmas the top batsmen start to really get going so watch Matt Hibbs find his form from last season and make some big runs in the second-half of the season.

Overall Mark: C-. This can be changed quickly with a few wins on the board but at this stage the Tigers get a C- for the fact their B Grade is the only team doing some damage this season.

Stat Leaders: A Grade: Batting – Nathanael

Campbell 86 runs @ 21.50 Bowling – Luke Henderson 7 wickets @ 14.57; B Grade: Batting – Brendan Peavey 89 runs @ 22.25 Bowling – Amit Jindal 9 wickets @ 8.00; C Grade: Batting – Jamie Kendall 64 runs @ 32.00 Bowling – Ben Gafa 6 wickets @ 11.83

Imperials (Ladder Positions – A Grade 5th, B Grade 5th, C Grade 2nd)

RYAN Morley has taken this team and turned it completely around as Imperials A Grade, who many believed wouldn’t win a match for the entire season, currently have two wins under their belt and sit only two points out of fourth position.

With player availability having a big impact on the club with players such as Joel Randall and Mitch Bulmer only available every so often they’ve still been able to identify their strengths, play to them and give themselves every chance to win the game.

Old timers such as Brad Sizeland and Ross Williams have relished in their roles and have become middle over masters while new players such as Sam Morey and Tuan Abdeen have added to the team with bat, ball and in the field.

Morley still has plenty of pressure on his young shoulders as he is by far Imperials best batsman and if he goes out cheaply it can have a massive effect on the rest of the team so hopefully he can get his early season form back where he made 90 runs in his first two innings and continue to shock the competition.

After gaining statewide fame, Imperials C Grade look to be aiming for back-to-back premiership honours with some superb individual efforts being played out, and as players go up and down the grades it will not only help out A Grade, but their B Grade as well.

Prediction: Imps have proved many wrong this season and in doing so have adopted the mantra “why not us?”. So why not indeed?

Can they make finals this season? On paper probably not, but considering they’re playing with passion and have a bit to prove who knows?

One to watch: Left-arm quick Sam Morey has enough pace and ability to get some big bags of wickets. Once he adjusts to turf lengths he could be a genuine handful and mustn’t be taken lightly.

Overall Mark: B. From where the club was at the start of the season, Imperials have done everything right. The club’s new executive have been hard working from the get go and it looks as if all the players are working hard on improving every time they play.

Stat Leaders: A Grade: Batting – Ryan Morley 105 runs @ 21.00 Bowling – Brad Sizeland 9 wickets @ 7.67; B Grade: Batting – Joshua Jennings 104 runs @ 104.00 Bowling – Michael McNulty 5 wickets @ 11.60; C Grade: Batting – Johnathon Downs 187 runs @ 62.33 Bowling – Daniel Morris 9 wickets @ 2.44.

Rovers (Ladder Positions – A Grade 6th, B Grade 4th, C Grade 7th)

A SLOW start to the season has meant Rovers will need a strong finish to feature in the finals again, but the young team has been able to get themselves

into the season slowly, showing plenty of fight against teams like Glengarry and Ex Students before defeating Yarram & District.

Dougal Williams has enjoyed the freedom of not having to coach during the week which has meant he can focus more on his own game which has had him score the only A Grade century in the TDCA to date.

Williams has been willing to experiment a bit with the batting order trying a few different opening partnerships, but with himself at four and brother Ewan at three they certainly have the makings of a potent top-order for years to come.

Rovers B Grade are a game clear of fourth, but after winning the minor premiership in C Grade last season they are yet to win a match so as a club there is still plenty to do to ensure they get some success this season.

Prediction: It’s hard to see them make finals after the slow start to the season, but they certainly have the ability to take it to any team on their day. They will miss finals this season in A Grade, but with two of the best young batsmen in the TDCA batting at three and four for them they will no doubt continue to push teams no matter their position on the ladder.

One to watch: Tyler Pearce at the top of the order has been able to set good platforms and be a stable opening bat who won’t give his wicket away. Now that he has his first A Grade 50 under his belt watch his confidence lift as he starts to make more runs.

Overall Mark: C. Not being able to bank early wins in A Grade has hurt, but they should have at least their B Grade feature in finals this season. Off field Rovers are a well run and with all the youthful exuberance the club has in its playing group this C mark will be improved upon by the end of the season.

Stat Leaders A Grade: Batting – Dougal Williams 215 runs @ 71.67 Bowling – Simon Duff 10 wickets @ 14.10; B Grade: Batting – Alex Rathbone 94 runs @ 23.50 Bowling – Ricky Martin 15 wickets @ 5.60; C Grade: Batting – Nathan Nikodemski 72 runs @ 18.00 Bowling – Nathan Nikodemski 6 wickets @ 21.50.

Toongabbie (Ladder Positions – A Grade 3rd, B Grade 7th, C Grade 3rd)

TOONGABBIE are a team flying under the radar a little bit as they find themselves in third spot at the Christmas break.

The Rams fly under the radar because they don’t have the big name batsmen who smash runs for fun like what Ex Students or Glengarry do, yet they have a team full of contributors with bat and ball who have played with each other long enough now to understand their own strengths and weaknesses and just get the job done time and time again.

If there was an award for Most Improved in the TDCA, James Chalmers would be hot favourite to take it out this season as he’s gone from an honest battler to a devastating striker of the ball willing to take on any bowling attack as witnessed against Ex Students when he made a superb 45 from just 50 balls.

Chalmers has found his spot at six and has made it his own and as the wickets

Prediction: Lock the Rams in for finals and watch them make a few teams nervous.

One to watch: Matt Barry has been great this season as the young spinner has improved out of sight and nearly has more wickets this season at the halfway point compared to his full season stats from last year. As he improves so will the team so keep an eye out as spin will be needed in the lead-up to finals for Toongabbie.

Overall Mark: B-. Lost some credibility after nearly coughing up an easy win over Imps, but then gained it back knocking off Glengarry. Both their wicket and ground have improved massively over the season and as a club are looking very well-poised for the remainder of the season.

Stat Leaders A Grade: Batting – James Chalmers 88 runs @ 29.33 Bowling - Matt Barry 7 wickets @ 12.86; B Grade: Batting – Gerard Mcilroy 104 runs @ 34.67 Bowling – Nathan Farley 7 wickets @ 11.43; C Grade: Batting – Matthew Stoddart 126 runs @ 126.0 Bowling – Peter Anton 6 wickets @ 5.33.

Yarram & District (Ladder Positions - A Grade 4th, B Grade 3rd, C Grade 4th) THE Pelicans started off the season in blistering form as they notched up big wins over Gormandale and Imperials but just started to wobble coming into Christmas losing to Ex Students and Rovers.

The Pelicans batsmen play with absolutely no fear and look to score quickly all the time.

This can have its downfalls though as it probably cost them the win against Rovers as they left lots of runs out on the field that match.

Ant Scott has been at his brutal best and Daniel O’Keefe has been superb in his support of Scott, but the worrying thing for the rest of the competition is the sleeping giants of Dylan Rash and Jack Moore haven’t hit their full stride yet.

Jeremy Babb has played some B Grade matches recently and will be returning to the A Grade soon which will certainly help Yarram as their attack can be a little one-dimensional at times.

If Babb can get the ball spinning then Yarram will build into March action nicely.

Some big names from the footballing world have been cleared to play for Yarram’s lower grades so keep an eye out for that and although the Pelicans B Grade premiership defence isn’t going as strongly as they would like there is no doubt they will be there again come the pointy end of the regular season.

Prediction: Yarram still have the ability to lose matches they should win, but they will win enough matches in the next eight rounds to secure a finals berth for the first time in their A Grade club history. From there they could do anything so watch this space.

One to watch: Anthony Scott could go absolutely berserk after Christmas and considering his form before the break there’s no reason as to why he can lift the tempo even more.

Overall Mark: B. The only other club apart from Ex Students to have all teams in the top four at the moment. They are working tirelessly getting their wicket and ground right for next season and are bringing a unique and exciting style of cricket to the TDCA which is fantastic to watch (but not be on the receiving end of).

Stat Leaders: A Grade: Batting – Anthony Scott 223 runs @ 55.75 Bowling – Jarryd Swift 7 wickets @ 10.43; B Grade: Batting – Damien Quigley 39 runs @ 39.00 Bowling – Ashley Taylor 8 wickets @ 6.75; C Grade: Batting – Josh Dunkley 136 runs @ 136.0 Bowling – Mathew Earles 6 wickets @ 14.17

THE Traralgon District Cricket Association resumes this weekend.

Glengarry hosts Yarram & District in the match of the round at Fred King Oval.

Rovers will look to build on the momentum generated before the Christmas break at home against Toongabbie.

League leaders Ex Students are warm favourites for the clash with Gormandale at Traralgon Recreation Reserve.

Imperials has the bye.

Region welcomes world of tennis TENNIS TRARALGON INTERNATIONAL

By LIAM DURKIN

THERE was little time for New Year’s Eve celebrations in the tennis world, as a host of domestic and international players got to work for the Traralgon International ATP Challenger Tour and ITF Women’s World Tour tournament.

Players began arriving on New Year’s Eve (last Friday) to begin preparations for the week-long event.

The dual tournaments are a massive coup for the Traralgon Tennis Association, with this year marking the first time Traralgon has hosted both events.

Players on the Traralgon courts are using the tournament to get match-ready for the Australian Open qualifying rounds, as well as vying for prizepurses of $58,320 and $60,000 in the men’s and women’s events respectively.

Locals have been treated to world class tennis in their own backyard these last few days, with players such as Frenchman and former world number six Gilles Simon one of the headliners.

Some prominent names have also won on the courts of Traralgon in previous years, including a 15-year-old Ash Barty, who claimed the Latrobe City International in 2012.

Australian professionals John Millman, Jason Kubler and Matthew Ebden have also claimed singles titles at Traralgon.

The arrival of the players coincided with a two-day heatwave across Victoria, which saw the mercury hover around 40 degrees at its peak during Saturday’s practise day.

By Sunday, the temperature had subsided to the low 30s, however the humidity still meant there was no shortage of players and officials trying to cool down when they got the chance.

A host of local kids admirably gave up time during their school holidays to serve as ball kids for the tournament, and more than earned their keep and share of icy poles working in the heat.

Traralgon Tennis Association manager Susie Grumley said despite limited preparation, the local tennis fraternity banded together to make it all work “There has been an enormous amount of work, because we only found out five weeks ago that we would have these two events,” she explained.

“Normally planning starts five-six months prior to these events, so it has been a very, very mad rush getting volunteers and getting ball children, getting people to help with working bees to do signage and put flags up - I just can’t speak highly enough of all the members and helpers who have put this together.

“Even alll the balll kids, here they are on their school holidays out in the heat

helping us and parents driving them from Warragul, Sale and Maffra. We feel very humbled and very appreciative of all the help we’ve been given.”

Traralgon and the surrounding area is set to benefit from hosting a tennis event which carries a certain degree of gravitas, as are many local businesses thanks to the sudden increase in population.

“Tennis Australia are doing 17 tournaments over the summer of tennis and this is one of them, so to be up there with ATP Cup and Adelaide International and Bendigo have got the same tournament as us, it is a massive tournament for the town,” Grumley said.

“It is a great boost to our local economy and the economic impact will be fantastic for the town and surrounding areas.

“Accommodation places in Traralgon and Morwell are all booked, the players go and eat in town every night, go into the town centre, so it is a wonderful little boost into the city of Latrobe. This year there has been lots of extra things to do with biosecurity requirements but I think the main thing at the end of the day is keeping the event and community safe - that is the main focus.”

On Sunday during the qualifiers, Dutch professional Richel Hogenkamp broke away after the first set against teenage Australian Zara Larke, winning 6-4, 6-0.

Both players shared moments of dominance early in the piece, but the experience of world number 247 Hogenkamp eventually showed.

The Traralgon heat certainly provided a challenge for Hogenkamp, who quickly quipped it was “a big change from home where it is around zero degrees” post-match.

Hometown duo Eliza Dunbar and Dave Hough flew the local flag at the tournament during the qualifiers, along with Sale’s Jess Board, while Traralgon’s Josh Charlton received a wildcard into the main draw.

“To have these young local players have the opportunity to play in this event, on courts they’ve grown up on is just amazing, just a wonderful experience for them, and it is great for the young players here to see them and be able to aspire to that,” Grumley said.

“We’re very lucky to have a diverse range of courts (in Gippsland), we have all the hard courts (in Traralgon), Maffra has beautiful grass courts, Sale has clay courts, so tennis is really booming, it is a great sport, a safe sport, it has social distancing built into it, so we are very lucky in Gippsland to have such wonderful tennis facilities.”

January is well and truly the peak time for the Traralgon Tennis Association, with club organisers to head straight into hosting the Grade 1 ITF Junior event (a lead-in tournament to the Australian Open Juniors) once this ATP and d ITF tournamentt concludes.

Great show: High quality tennis was on display in Traralgon forr the ITF Women’s World Tour and ATP Men’s Challenger.

WNBL in the Valley this weekend Success for BASKETBALL WNBL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

THE Latrobe Valley is poised to play host to a Women’s National Basketball League doubleheader on Saturday.

The Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium will be the venue for the two clashes.

The first is between the Sydney Uni Flames and Perth Lynx at 2.30pm, with the Melbourne Boomers and Canberra Capitals to square-off in the later game at 5pm.

The Capitals will have plenty of local support with Traralgon export Jade Melbourne a key part of the line-up.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the matches would provide great exposure for the region to a wider audience.

“We’re also excited to showcase our world class sporting infrastructure like the GRISS to the whole nation and attract more big-time sport to our expanding major events calendar,” O’Callaghan said.

This event is the first step of a basketball bonanza throughout this month, with NBL club South-East Melbourne Phoenix playing the Adelaide 36ers on Tuesday, January 25.

“Bringing the NBL and WNBL to town in the same month builds on our growing reputation as a regional sporting hub of national significance, and we can’t wait to welcome all the clubs to town in January,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

Most interest does surround the presence of Melbourne in the Capitals line-up.

Canberra sits second on the ladder with a 3-1 record, trailing Adelaide Lightning by inferior points’ differential.

The Opals representative has been an influential cog in that bright start, averaging 11.5

Home return: Traralgon export Jade Melbourne and her Canberra Capitals will play a WNBL clash in the Valley this Saturday afternoon. photograph supplied points, 3.5 rebounds and an assist per game.

But the Boomers (6-2) will present a test, especially with Ezi Magbegor (14.8 points, 7.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game) and Cayla George (12.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game) in outstanding form.

The trip to Traralgon does loom as a crunch clash for the Flames and Lynx, who are both striving for a first win of the season.

The Lynx’s campaign has been hamstrung by border issues, while the Flames are yet to hit their straps under new coach Shane Heal.

Heal, the former Australian Boomers and NBA ace, is starting to have an impact when it comes to his team’s identity, run the break, play full-court defence and shoot from outside the arc.

Organisers have said that team schedules may be subject to change due to the fluid nature of COVID-19 restrictions (as best seen in the Big Bash League cricket), but are hopeful just days out from tip-off that all four sides will be in the Valley on Saturday.

Tickets are available at https://wnbl.basketball/ tickets In the gold section, prices are adult $18, junior (4-16 years) $8.95, concession $13.95 and a family of four for $43.95.

In the silver section, prices are adult $13.95, junior (4-16 years) $7, concession $10 and a family of four for $33.95.

HORSE RACING

LATROBE Valley thoroughbred trainers have enjoyed a successful week across Victoria.

Yesterday’s Stony Creek meeting saw the good times keep rolling for the training partnership of Paul and Tracey Templeton.

High Done ($5.50) scored an impressive all-the-way win in the Fish Creek Hotel Benchmark 58 Handicap (1700m).

The six-year-old son of High Chaparral relished the drop back in trip after finishing runner-up at Yarra Valley at his previous outing, with jockey Jason Maskiell dictating proceedings throughout on the way to a 2 1/4 length victory.

The Templeton stable is certainly firing on all cylinders with Changing Tracks getting the job done in good fashion at Geelong on Boxing Day and the mercurial Joltin’ Joe running a slashing second at Moonee Valley on New Year’s Eve. Trafalgar-based hoop Maskiell also combined with Moe trainer Peter Gelagotis for a winner at Cranbourne on January 2.

Mark down Titan Of Choice as a horse to follow after the three-year-old son of Extreme Choice scored a stylish two-length win in the Frankston Sand Soil & Mini Mix Maiden Plate (1200m).

It was the first-up run of his second preparation after four appearances as a two-year-old, which produced one third from four starts.

Stablemate Long Arm ran a good third in the Bagot Handicap (2800m) at Flemington on New Year’s Day. Ally’s Reward, who scored an emotional win for the Douch family at Traralgon on Cup Day in late November, landed the fifth win of her 53-start career at Stony Creek.

The nine-year-old mare took out the Ladbrokes Switch Benchmark 58 Handicap (2100m).

THE EnergyAustralia Classic Singles commenced at Newborough Bowling Club on Monday, with a full field of 96 top bowlers from throughout Victoria, along with Rohan Dennis and Alan Fawcett from New South Wales and James Reynolds from the ACT taking part.

Players were placed in 32 sections of three players with each person playing games against the other two players in their section and marking the third game in their section.

Steve Pallot from Moe was the only Latrobe Valley player remaining after the section play despite a number of locals performing well on the greens.

Reynolds, a former Australian representative player, won his section and defeated Jayde Leech from Moe fresh from winning the Strzelecki North State Singles.

Dennis, from Merrylands, also won his section after defeating Stephen Adams from Karingal.

Eight ladies entered this year including Kirsty Van Den Hoff from Traralgon and Sarah Ashby from Newborough.

Despite performing admirably, Trish Cullinane from Heathmont was the only lady winning through to the last 32 following her defeat of Brendan McCallum (Hampton).

The winners of the past two years, Nathan Bush (Deer Park) and Thor Shannon (Essendon) won through and are hot favourites to play-off in the final tomorrow.

They will face opposition from former winners Tony Schiavello (Bundoora RSL) and Ray Jansen (Melbourne Cricket Club), who are both keen for another win.

Bob Watt (Whittlesea) won the Prelude to the Classic last week and continued his good form to win his section.

Andrew Dalli (Mitcham) and Todd Blackburn from Webbcona won on their first visit to Newborough.

Blackburn was a late entry after a number of players withdrew due to illness and performed the best of the five players who came down with former local Gary Johnson, now based at Webbcona in Ballarat.

The stage is set for the last 32 players to engage in five rounds of knockout play today and tomorrow.

Spectators are welcome, with free admission.
