Watermark: Members of the Traralgon Men’s Shed, Ex-Students Cricket Club, Traralgon Football Netball Club president Kevin Foley and Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby are hoping for new flood-proof facilities.

CLUBS CALL FOR A HELPING HAND

TRARALGON Recreation Reserve groups are imploring the state and federal governments to kick in some cash towards a $10 million project to help rebound from the devastating June 2021 floods.

Latrobe City Council has proposed the plan to build a flood-proof multi-use pavilion at the rec reserve and a new

community hub and events space at Glenview Park.

Groups including the Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby (GRRD) were inundated under more than a metre of water causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

GRRD president Bodye Darvill said the Glenview Park hub would provide “one of the best roller derby spaces in Australia”, after the group had faced a

series of setbacks in the past few years.

“A dedicated long term home would be life changing. I can’t even describe how good it would be as we had been chasing a home for seven years,” Ms Darvill said.

“We know this will flood again, even if we fixed this up again, we just couldn’t do it to ourselves, and after we assessed everything, we made the choice we couldn’t stay here.”

The decision comes as many buildings

at the reserve will need demolishing after being covered with inches of sludge and toxic blackwater.

The roller derby club had just revamped a former chook shed a couple of years ago after spending $180,000 in state and federal funding on new floor, toilets and a kids space.

LATROBE City houses one of Victoria’s highest rates of family violence, new data from Gippsland PHN and collaborators has revealed.

The municipality, along with East Gippsland and Wellington Shire have some of the highest rates in the state, according to Gippsland PHN’s recently released papers.

As of June 2021, Latrobe City had the most ‘incidents where young people experienced family violence’ in Victoria, with a total of 1025 incidents per 100,000 people, and the most ‘ambulance call outs for a domestic/sexual violent event’, with 246.7 incidents per 100,000 people.

Latrobe City ranked second in Victoria for ‘police call outs for family violence incidents’.

The data was compiled by Gippsland PHN, in collaboration with Gippsland Women’s Health (GWH) and the Gippsland Family Violence Alliance.

PHN’s paper titled ‘Family Violence: Issues and Impact’, discusses emerging trends in the Gippsland region, including local practitionersseeinganincreaseinchildrenwhohavea history with family violence being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and/or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Local practitioners have shown concern that children’s trauma history is not being explored during the diagnostic process.

It was long been suspected by health professionals that childhood traumatic stress can be mistaken for ADHD, due to the overlap in symptoms.

Services across Gippsland are reporting increases in trauma in children who have experienced family violence, with rates of children experiencing family violence 1.8 times higher in regional and remote areas in comparison to major cities.

Additional findings were that women with intellectual disability are presenting with increasingly complex cases, and in general victims of family violence are presenting with increasingly complex cases.

Trends indicate that there is increasingly more than one perpetrator involved with the family, such as ex-partners, fathers, uncles and mother-in-laws.

Family Violence is the biggest contributor to homelessness in Gippsland.

Gippsland PHN acting chief executive officer Angela Jacob discussed the report’s findings.

“This work involves identifying where services

are needed most and ensuring the healthcare sector is well placed to support those in need of help,” Mrs Jacob said.

“We provide evidence-based mental health services and wellbeing support programs.

“We must also ensure there is access to evidenced-based education and training for general practitioners, allied health and other professionals who are dealing with these issues every day.

“As part of this we are developing a localised family violence pathway and associated referral pages for health professionals.”

Alliance principal strategic advisor Kim Adams said the papers would ensure victims of family violence are receiving the best care, and improve the relationship between family violence practitioners and health care workers.

“It is important to ensure we are supporting those people experiencing violence in the most supportive and holistic manner possible,” Ms Adams said.

“It’s also important that we have a consistent understanding of managing family violence risk, along with the supporting the trauma needs of our clients.”

Data has shown that healthcare professionals received more family violence disclosures than police.

Providers, including general practitioners, nurses, psychologists and therapists, receive 53 per cent of current family violence disclosures and 43.7 per cent of past family violence disclosures.

Gippsland PHN’s second paper ‘Family Violence: Services and Projects’, made recommendations for the Gippsland region, including increasing awareness of the types of domestic violence and the impact on health, increased knowledge amongst GPs and other health care professional to identify and respond top family violence, and access to appropriate support for those who experience family violence – regardless of gender.

Recently, the federal government released the draft National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032.

The new plan outlines 10 years of action across various sectors and levels of government.

It takes a “towards zero’’ approach, aiming to end violence against women and children, and examines the prevalence of this type of violence in Australia.

The National Plan outlines actions and targets across four National Pillars: Prevention, Early Intervention, Response and Recovery. The pillars

are intended to work together to help break the cycle of violence.

This plan will replace the current one, which expires this year.

Several concerning statistics were highlighted in the first half of the plan, which cites data indicating one in four women has experienced intimate partner violence by the age of 15, and one in two women have experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime.

The achievements of the former plan were also examined in detail, highlighting accomplishments such as establishing key infrastructure and strengthening service responses nationwide.

GWH chief executive officer Kate Graham welcomed the effort to support the end of gendered, domestic and sexual violence.

However, Ms Graham said it is her organisation’s view that the draft plan could better articulate the role of the federal government and ensure clarity between state and federal government responsibilities.

“It is unclear what implications or improvements this draft plan will have for Gippsland or more specifically for the Latrobe Valley,” Ms Graham said.

“There are no specific financial commitments within this plan and fiscal contributions are required to ensure we continue to work toward ending family violence at national level.

“This is particularly so in the prevention of violence and the resources required to invest at a local level and activate community driven initiatives. Prevention of violence will have the most significant long-term impact and through this feedback process we would call on the federal government to ensure increased and sustained funding.”

Ms Graham also suggested the inclusion of Parliament one of the government’s commitments stated in the plan.

“We welcome the government’s commitment to ‘firmly embed prevention approaches in all settings including in homes, educational settings, workplaces, law enforcement, media, online, the justice system, sport, the arts and community organisations’,” she said.

“However we would go further to request that an amendment is included to ensure that Parliament is described as we strongly urge and support positive modelling from our countries leaders.”

Storm brewing over sand mine project

By MICHELLE SLATER

A GROUP of residents are up-in-arms in opposition to a proposed sand quarry on Traralgon West Road in Maryvale, fearing the development could spread silica over nearby homes.

An action group is distributing a petition imploring Latrobe City Council to knock-back an application from Latrobe Valley Sands to establish the quarry with an extraction area of nearly 144 hectares.

Scrubby Lane resident Mick Seychell called a community meeting last week with about 50 local residents who had raised concerns about the plan.

Mr Seychell said the project was suddenly sprung on residents through a letterbox drop only a fortnight ago and he was calling for more community consultation into the development.

“There are massive concerns about airborne silica.

We are concerned about the health and safety of ratepayers in the direct line of fire of this proposal,” Mr Seychell said.

“It’s on a massive parcel of land, it won’t just affect this area, but all of Traralgon West. This is too much for anyone to properly comprehend.”

The proposal which sits within a pine plantation, has already gained an Earth Resources Regulation work plan after being in the pipeline for the past 10-years.

The new quarry will support an existing operation to the north of Traralgon West Road, which is expected to be finished and rehabilitated within the next five years.

But nearby resident Glen Burns said he had no idea a new quarry was being planned across the road from his house when he purchased the property 11-months ago.

“We knew nothing about this before we bought the house or we would’ve gone further out. This will disrupt our lives and our health as silica is up there with asbestos,” Mr Burns said.

Thumbs down: Traralgon West residents are rigorously opposing a new sand quarry being proposed in the vicinity of their homes.

said he “appreciated there will be a number of queries and questions with respect to this proposal including location”.

Mr Blackwood said dust, noise and water usage would be kept a minimum, and mining would be undertaken in stages, with the first 30-year stage to be carried out closer to the Maryvale paper mill.

He said the company provided 14 jobs at its

current site plus another 25 to 30 subcontractors, and expected employment to increase by 70 per cent with the new project.

Member for Morwell Russell Northe had been contacted by both residents and the proponent, but he stated the importance of proper community engagement.

“Residents are unsure how they will be impacted by the location, noise and dust as a consequence of this proposal, so it’s important they are provided

with correct and comprehensive information,” Mr Northe said.

The project requires approval from Latrobe City which received the planning application in December.

“Based on the level of community interest and the number of objections received to date, the application will be presented to councillors at a future council meeting for decision,” a Latrobe City spokesperson said.

Triplets reach milestone as they embark on first day of school

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

THE Minnelli triplets started their school adventure at St Vincent De Paul Primary School last week.

Danica, Xavier and Ryder were born to Sarina and Daniel Minnelli on November 13, 2015.

The triplets big sister Talia, who also attends St Vincent’s Primary, was there to introduce her younger siblings to school life.

Back in 2015, the triplets appeared in The Express, when parents Sarina and Daniel partnered with The Multiple Birth Volunteer Support Foundation to search for volunteers to help them care for the three infants.

At the time, their older sister was under the age of two, and the couple knew they had their work cut out for them caring for four very young children.

“We found out at the eight-week ultrasound ... we were in total shock,” Ms Minnelli said.

Luckily, the couple were not alone and had a total of 11 volunteers step forward to assist them at the beginning of their journey.

Pauline Prowse and Alison May were among the volunteers chosen to help the family, and are still a big part of their life today.

They stood with Sarina, Daniel and the triplets grandparents out the front of St Vincent’s to see the kids off on their first day. The pair said they were always present at birthday parties, shopping trips and doctor’s appointments.

Ms Prowse said it was “privilege” to be involved with the triplets.

“We have always been included with family activities,” Ms May added.

Ms Minnelli said they faced many challenges, including feeding around the clock, many, many

nappies and a massive triplet pram which was a whopping 17 kilos.

The huge pram, the ABC Adventure Buggy, was one of the only prams out there large enough to carry all three triplets, who, in the first three weeks would go through 32 nappies every day.

To help with their overload of nappies, the couple

were even given an extra large rubbish bin by the council so they could keep up.

“We’ve been really lucky,” Ms Minnelli said.

“They never missed out on anything.”

While the couple were thrilled to have their three youngest start their school journey, they said the experience was a ‘‘bit emotional, but very exciting’’.

The triplets did appear very excited on their first day and were all decked out in their new school uniforms with names stitched on their backpacks.

Their faces lit up as they greeted their many friends from kindergarten who are joining them in prep this year.

Mr Minnelli said the triplets were “excited” to be starting at the school, especially because their new principal Dave Cooper barracks for Richmond - just like them.

It was also Mr Cooper’s first day as St Vincent’s principal, having moved over from Lumen Christi Primary in Churchill.

In addition to the new triplets, St Vincent’s also had a pair of twin’s starting at the school, Amelia and Leon Pierisge-Fernando.

Mr Cooper said he has never had triplets at a school before, and certainly never a set of twins and triplets starting prep on the same day.

“We are excited to be starting the new year, and are looking forward to re-engaging with the school’s families and the community,” Mr Cooper said.

The school is currently in the midst of building eight new classrooms, making the school safer and more efficient for students, he said.

“This is a significant time in the school’s history.”

Testing regime does not work for parents

By MICHELLE SLATER

SOME local parents are unable to undertake “invasive” nasal rapid antigen testing for their kids attending specialist schools as recommended by the Victorian Department of Education.

Moe mum Leanne Vella is asking the state government for more options for families who cannot abide by five-day a week rapid antigen testing for their kids with certain disabilities.

Ms Vella’s 11-year-old son Villi is non-verbal and has been diagnosed with “severe” autism, but his mum said the change in routine would traumatise her child.

“For us, this is not an option as a lot of special needs children don’t cope at all with invasive treatments and my child is one of them,” Ms Vella said.

“With my son, it would be impossible for me to attempt, I’d need three adults to do this. He has no idea what COVID is or what is happening in the world.”

It comes as the state government has “strongly recommended” for all early childhood, primary and secondary school students and staff undertake twice-weekly RAT testing at home before school.

However, students and staff at specialist schools are recommended to test five days each week due to the higher risk of severe illness for medically vulnerable children.

Ms Vella said the recommendations should be changed to symptomatic-only testing which

could include less invasive saliva tests and more resources for special needs families and schools.

Traralgon mum Sharon Lay echoed concerns for her 14-year son Brody, who has autism and an intellectual disability, stating the recommendations put too much pressure on schools and parents.

“To try and shove a cotton bud up his nose before school will make it too traumatising, I already tried and he pushed me away so I didn’t force it,” Ms Lay said.

“I wouldn’t be able to do it, it’s just not going to work. I’d need to hold him down.”

A state government spokeswoman assured that “no child will be prevented from attending school if completing a rapid test is too difficult”.

“We’ve been consulting closely with disability advocacy groups, who are all supportive of the testing recommendation - ultimately it is a recommendation,” the spokeswoman said.

She said a suite of other COVID safe measures had been delivered to all schools, including air purifiers for high-risk rooms, surgical masks and mandatory third jabs for all school staff.

Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath had contacted Education Minister James Merlino to take up the concerns of parents of kids in specialist schools.

“The question remains why parents of children with disabilities were not consulted about the preparation and implementation of COVID testing regimes,” Ms Bath said.

Farm to rely on blue sky mining

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE state government has approved a planning permit to build a new 70-megawatt solar farm on Tramway Road, expected to be operational by 2024.

The Morwell Solar Farm is being managed by new Thai-owned operators RATCH-Australia, which already owns 1.2 gigawatts of gas and renewables in Australia.

The proposed Hazelwood North site sits on two properties encompassing about 170 hectares, diagonally opposite the Morwell Terminal Station.

RATCH-Australia communications officer Mieka White said the company would be about to put out expressions of interest for construction tenders, with a focus on local expertise and labour.

Ms White said the project is expected to provide 150 jobs in peak construction, which is hoped to start in August or September this year.

The solar farm anticipated to have a 30-year lifespan and will require ongoing maintenance crew.

“The site is flat and this is perfect for us, and it is surrounded by industrial sites that we will liaise with to arrange power purchasing agreements,” Ms White said.

“The grid is also very strong with capacity from the former Hazelwood Power Station just there, which makes the site very attractive.”

Ms White said there would be minimal vegetation lost with plans to revegetate for roadside screening and plantings along a creek.

She said site access will be from Tramway Road

making use of existing entry points minimising disruption to local roads.

“Power generated by solar panels will be connected to the grid via a substation to be built in the north-western corner of the site,” she said.

“From the substation, cables will run underground to the Morwell Terminal Station to enable power to enter the local network.”

The company will now focus on furthering detailed technical studies to inform the next stage of the development.

Ms White said locals may see some site investigations being carried-out in the next few

months before constructions starts. She said the planning approvals included a large scale battery, which could be part of the project’s second stage.

Friends of the Earth renewable energy campaigner Pat Simons described the approval as “very welcome news” for the Latrobe Valley that meant the “region could continue to power the state into the future”.

“With several other projects like the Delburn wind farm and the game changing Star of the South offshore wind project proposed for Gippsland, there is a huge opportunity to create new career paths for the community,” Mr Simons said.

Clubs call for money to flood-proof reserve Continued from page 1

The club was then stymied by COVID and was overlooked for funding in the infamous sports rorts fiasco with former federal Sports Minister Bridget McKenzie.

“It’s been blow after blow. It’s been absolutely gutting, I couldn’t even tell you, it was emotionally heartbreaking in the clean-up, we were crying on-and-off for days,” Ms Darvill said.

The roller derby club is one of several user groups working with Latrobe City to re-design new purpose-built facilities.

The Glenview Park development would include the Traralgon Men’s Shed and Latrobe Valley Dodgeball Association, as well the racing, croquet and equestrian clubs.

Meanwhile, the multi-use Traralgon Recreation Reserve pavilion would cater to the Traralgon Football Netball Club, Traralgon Boxing Club and Ex-Students Cricket Club.

“One of the coolest things is, it’s a mixed use community hub and we will have shared spaces,” Ms Darvill said.

“I really like this as we can work together and make it a community space instead of being in standalone spaces.”

Latrobe City has pledged $2 million toward the project and will seek state and federal funding to reach the $10 million mark.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said extent of the flood damage was more extreme than anticipated, with a number of buildings beyond repair.

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

Community voices: Newly-selected Independent candidate for Monash Deb Leonard. photograph supplied

Contender announced

By MICHELLE SLATER

A PHILLIP Island lawyer has been pre-selected to stand as an Independent in the communityrun Voices for Monash movement against incumbent Liberal MP Russell Broadbent.

Deb Leonard was chosen to run in this year’s federal election in the seat of Monash by members of the community independents group in a forum last weekend.

Ms Leonard won a close vote against Loy Yang worker Tony Wolfe, who also stood for pre-selection.

The first-time candidate said she was buoyed to stand on the back of the success of the other federal independents who were supported by the Voices movement.

“I’ve always been interested in politics, but I didn’t align myself with either of the two major parties and I’m disillusioned with the two-party system,” Ms Leonard said.

“It’s very powerful for a community to come together and vote for a candidate to represent them instead of a candidate who will vote along party lines and is influenced by big donations.

“The more independent, honest and scrupulous members, the more we can get politics back on track.”

Ms Leonard said her main pitch was action on climate change through supporting more renewables, supporting small businesses, and establishing a federal corruption commission.

The legal practitioner described herself as “in the middle” of the political spectrum who would vote on each policy on its merits against how it balanced against the community’s values She said she was keen to visit the electorate leading into the election – which is yet to be called- to hear from constituents on local issues.

“The Valley has a lot of people in the fossil fuel industry, a part of my platform on climate change was moving to renewables, and investment into re-skilling workers into prosperous careers in this sector,” she said.

“It’s a growing area and there’s a lot of opportunity into re-skilling and infrastructure in the Valley.”

Missing: The black device on the left went missing from Brunton’s Bridge on Australia Day.

Family launches a desperate appeal to locate insulin pump

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

A FAMILY is desperately searching for an insulin pump left at Brunton’s Bridge, south of Walhalla, on Australia Day. While enjoying a family day out at the bridge, 10-year-old Xavier Willis removed his insulin pump to enjoy a swim.

The high needs medical device, used to manage Xavier’s Type 1 diabetes, was placed in a black bum bag and later placed with car keys near the family’s car.

The family, who does not live in the region, checked the area before departing at 4.30pm, believing they had taken all their belongings.

Xavier’s mother, Rachel Willis said it was not until they returned home that they released the important device was missing.

“We are devastated by the loss of his insulin pump,” Ms Willis said.

“I am totally beside myself, and we cannot afford to replace this item.”

Ms Willis’ husband returned to the bridge and began searching, but he could not find the pump or the black bag anywhere.

The pump, an AMSL Tandem Slim Insulin pump is a small black device, with a grey square on one end that has a black T shape on it.

The device is specifically set up for Xavier and delivers insulin, monitors glucose levels and alarms when his levels are too low or too high.

The pump turns off insulin supply prior to predicted hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) occurring, a condition which is life threatening.

The family have narrowly escaped hospital before, when ketones developed in Xavier’s blood.

Ketones, if left untreated, can poison the body.

For this reason, the pump is not supposed to be off a person’s body for more than two hours.

Ms Willis said that not having the pump reduces her son’s quality of life, preventing him from doing many of the things he normally does and making it more difficult for caregivers to manage his diabetes, particularly at school, where teachers must actively monitor his condition.

“Xavier usually would only need one needle every three days with the pump, but without it he has to have a minimum of four needles every single day,” Ms Willis told The Express.

Additionally, Xavier is having to restrict his usual diet to manage his diabetes and reduce the number of needles he has to endure.

Ms Willis has spent the last week ringing all surrounding police stations and contacting insurance and insulin pump companies.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, companies that distribute insulin pumps are having supply issues and Ms Willis was told they do not have the stock to replace Xavier’s.

With supply shortages and health care staff shortages, if this pump is not found it could take a long time for Xavier to get a new one.

Ms Willis published a Facebook post on January 28 after trying to locate the device, contacting insurance companies and pump providers.

Her post was met by an outpouring of concern from commenters, many of whom sympathised with her and even offered to check the site themselves.

“We would like to thank everyone who reached out on Facebook, the community in the area has been really amazing,” Ms Willis said.

Xavier’s family is urging anyone who comes across the device, or has found the device, to return it.

This can be done by calling the AMSL phone number on the back of the pump and providing Xavier’s pumps serial number: 882774.

COVIDSafe in schools

Safety: Lowanna College principal Adam Hogan holds rapid antigen tests.

THE start of the school year has looked at little different for Victorian students.

Latrobe Valley schools, and schools all over the state have been doing their best to create the safest environment possible.

More than 6.6 million rapid antigen tests (RATs) are being delivered to schools this term and 51,000 air purification devices were delivered to government and low-fee non-government schools across the state on Monday, January 31.

All students in Grade 3 and above are required to wear masks, although they will not be required to be worn outdoors.

Premier Daniel Andrews said making sure faceto-face learning continues is the priority.

“Face-to-face learning is the best option for our kids’ learning and wellbeing – that’s why we’ve done the work to get students safely back in the classroom from the start of Term 1, and make sure they stay there,” he said.

At the end of Term 4 last year, 99.7 per cent of school staff were double vaccinated in Victoria.

Local schools are doing their bit to ensure

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

the safety of staff, students and their families, including Newborough-based secondary school Lowanna College.

Principal Adam Hogan said the school received RATs and air purifiers from the state government.

“Each student and staff member received a five pack of RAT tests ... we received 41 air purifiers at the start of this year, one for each classroom,” he said.

As recommended by the state government, students at Lowanna are required to take two RAT tests each week, and are required to report any positive results to the school.

The school is implementing tactics to increase classroom ventilation through using air purifiers, opening doors and wearing masks whenever indoors.

“We are really excited to have the students back, and the Department of Education has indicated that a return to remote learning is unlikely - we welcome that,” Mr Hogan said.

“We are looking forward to the return to normality.”

AMONG the many smiling faces to start the school year in 2022 at St Michael’s Primary School, Traralgon, were 67 new Foundation students.

“While there are often a few nervous students and parents on the first day, the 2021 orientation program helped to familiarise the students with their new environment and make the transition into school so much easier for the children,” Foundation team leader Sharon Scholtes said.

The students spent their first school day getting to know their new teachers and classmates and familiarising themselves with classroom and school routines.

This year, the school has included physical education classes as a specialist subject and students enjoyed participating in these classes.

As well as welcoming new students to its school community, St Michael’s has also welcomed two new graduate teachers to their teaching staff.

Miss Dark commenced her teaching career in a Grade 1/2 class and Miss Allen in a Grade 3/4 class.

Both teachers were very excited to meet their new classes and commence their teaching career at St Michael’s.

Inferno blazes towards a new era

By LIAM DURKIN

REVELLERS across the region will be greeted with a vastly different nightclub the next time they walk into a prominent location on Kay St, Traralgon.

Inferno Nightclub is currently undergoing a mass overhaul, which will see the entire interior transformed from its previous look as a disco dance club into something more modern.

The light-up dance floor and array of small disco balls synonymous with the venue are gone, and are set to be replaced by aspects that will bring the club into the 21st century.

‘New Inferno’ will include LED lighting on the roof, a revamped main bar and beer garden complemented by a thorough paint job.

Knowing the Valley’s love for a party, organisers are aiming to have the new club ready by early March.

Kay Street Entertainment (which encompasses Inferno and adjoining nightclub/bar Aviary) manager Simon ‘Simo’ Ierardi is seeing that the clubs vision comes to life, undertaking the redevelopment himself along with a host of other dedicated staff including owner David Cush.

While the nightclub, still most frequently just referred to by its previous name ‘Saloon’ by most locals, has become something of an institution in Traralgon, Mr Ierardi said the time had well and truly come to change things up.

“The place has needed an upgrade … it probably hasn’t changed since it was built, we thought it was time to fix it,” he said.

“We’re getting rid of the old 80s disco look and just going for a clean, modern, fresh nightclub look … modern really is what we are going for.

“The layout itself is staying the same, there will be a few extra raised areas, couple of platforms, but the base of where everything is will stay the same.

“There has been a range of a few different clubs that we’ve looked at, we’ve taken a colour scheme from here, lightning from there … but I can’t give too much away.”

The layout sees a large main room in the Inferno section of the club, featuring a high ceiling and long bar to the right hand side of the raised stage, with doors exiting to either the beer garden or neighbouring Aviary Bar, which is more of a country pub setting - in keeping with the ‘Saloon’ moniker.

Those who frequented the venue in previous years will attest to its standing as the ‘main’ nightclub in not only the Latrobe Valley but Gippsland, with

people often commuting by late night train from Warragul and even Sale just to go out.

Easter Thursday was generally regarded as the biggest night of the year not that long ago, often seeing close to 1000 people come through the doors. Large numbers have also congregated for no shortage of after parties, local sporting team premiership celebrations or other major events.

Some big names have performed on the stage at Inferno such as Flo Rida, Grinspoon and the Hilltop Hoods, while some other names have performed less polished but just as memorable deeds off the stage.

Mr Ierardi was hopeful the upgrades would see the venue prosper into the future.

“During COVID it has been tough to keep up the numbers (of patrons), we’re hoping this upgrade will help that return to what it was back in the day,” he said.

“We’re hoping to bring a lot more live music as well as DJs, so we’re hoping to bring a lot of the big Australian names in hip hop, rock, heavy metal, as well as all the DJs around the country.”

With opening day on the horizon, there could just be one question on people’s minds: Will there be a new Old Man Saloon?

Work in progress: The well-travelled Inferno Nightclub light-up dance floor is set to be replaced.

New mural at Yallourn/Newborough RSL

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LOCAL veterans have been honoured in a new mural at the Yallourn/Newborough RSL. Painted by artist Steve Bechaz, the mural depicts Jean Bickerton, Robert Pritchett, George Harris, Sir John Monash, Ernie Clegg and Jack Hamilton.

On Thursday, February 3, veterans, members of the RSL, family and community members gathered to admire Mr Bechaz’s work and honour those who served Australia in the war.

Mr Bechaz said the mural took many months of research and preparing to reach the finished product.

The mural is primarily spray paint, although Mr Bechaz said he did use a brush on the finer details.

Mr Bechaz said the mural would not have been possible without the supported from Veterans Minister Shaun Leane, a veteran’s grant and the Yallourn/Newborough RSL. “It took a few months to do, because there was lots of research and designing that went into it,” Mr Bechaz said.

“I do love a challenge, and I do want to do more portraits.”

Mr Bechaz said he enjoyed learning more about local servicemen and women while he worked on the mural.

“Thank you to the veterans for putting their trust in me ... thank you to the community, and a special thanks to Steve Moy - he help get it all started,” he said.

The mural faces towards the location where the dawn service is held each year, and has the Ode of Remembrance painted on the side.

World War II nurse Jean Bickerton attended the event.

She is pictured in her nurse uniform on the mural, an image which was painted from a photograph taken when she was about 21 years old.

Mrs Bickerton said she was “shocked” to find out she would appear on the wall.

Her nurse’s cape is currently on display at the Moe RSL. Robert Pritchett, illustrated next to Mrs Bickerton on the mural, was a driver in the Royal Army Service Corps in World War II.

He died as a prisoner of war in 1943 after he was captured in Singapore.

After Mr Pritchett’s family were notified of his death, a wreath has been laid every year for over 75 years by his son Tom Pritchett.

George Harris, a member of the Morwell RSL, was pleased to be featured on the wall.

Mr Harris has been a local for most of his life, having moved to Morwell at the age of 15.

“It is an honour,” Mr Harris said.

Mr Harris is painted next to Sir John Monash, the first chairman of the Victorian State Electricity Commission.

Sir Monash served in World War I and was amongst those first under fire in Gallipoli.

He was in charge of the entire Australian Corps by 1918.

Ernie Clegg’s great granddaughter Chloe Clegg also attended. Chloe was very close with her great grandfather.

She spent every Anzac Day and Remembrance Day with Mr Clegg, who she remembers fondly.

Mr Clegg had a long career in the Royal Australian Navy, and was remembered by his peers for entertaining the crew on ships with singing, dancing and humour.”

“It is very special to have him on the wall,” Chloe said.

The daughters of Jack Hamilton, Beth Cox and Faye Brown, were present at the event with Mr Hamilton’s granddaughter Kelly Cox. Mr Hamilton was a long-time president of the Yallourn-Newborough RSL, and his family delighted he featured in the artwork.

“It’s amazing to drive past and see him on the wall,” Beth said.

Faye agreed with her sister.

“It’s pretty special ... I cried when I first saw him,” she said.

Former Latrobe City Mayor Sharon Gibson voiced her support for the new mural.

“I think it’s a very respectful and thought provoking thing,” Cr Gibson said.

“These are the faces of people who gave everything.”

Cr Gibson said she hopes Mr Bechaz’s artistic additions to the region will bring more visitors to Newborough and Moe. “It’s lovely to take pride in our town ... hopefully they will make people come and see what we have to offer,” she said.

The full dedication ceremony for the mural will be at the Yallourn/Newborough RSL on February 17, 2022, from 10am to 11am.

Family business: Danny and Ashley Dilger opened Gippy Cycles at the start of the pandemic.

Far from an easy ride

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

THE installation of the new Haunted Hills Bike Park, and COVID lockdowns over the past years have many Latrobe Valley locals taking up cycling to get fit.

However, hopping on the seat and getting those pedals spinning might not be as easy as it appears.

The bike parts industry has been crumbling since the beginning of the pandemic, with reported wait of 12 months or even more.

Local bike shop Gippy Cycles, has been to go-to place for Latrobe Valley and Gippsland based bike riders and cycling enthusiasts since it opened in late 2019.

From the moment they opened their doors, owners Danny and Ashley Dilger have experienced stock shortages due to the pandemic.

“Within three months of opening the first load of COVID issues arose,” Mr Dilger said.

“When running a bike shop pre-COVID, if someone wanted something you’d order it and within two to five working days it would be here and the customer would come and collect it.

“Now, people can wait over 12 months for a bike.”

Most of the longer waits are for high end biking supplies, Mr Dilger said.

Fortunately, the team at Gippy Cycles have many customers who are happy to wait, or choose an alternative for whatever supply they need.

Despite this, Mr Dilger said the supply issues “have caused a lot of grief”.

At the beginning Gippy Cycles was open six days a week, however with no end in sight for supply issues and a never ending stream of customers, making time for bike servicing has become a top priority.

The store is now closed to the public to complete

servicing on Wednesdays and Saturdays, except by appointment.

“We needed more time to complete servicing. We just can’t get it done with so many people coming in and out of the shop... all three phone ring off the hook all day,” Mr Dilger said.

“We have five full-time staff, and four part time.”

Gippy Cycles have seen “bucketloads” more interest in recreational bike riding as the pandemic has continued.

“There are heaps more people out riding bikes at the moment,” Mr Dilger said.

“When we first moved to Traralgon all the tracks and greenways were really quiet, now you never go for a ride without seeing at least a couple of other families.”

He opened Gippy Cycles with his wife Ashley, inspired by his passion for biking from a young age.

“I’ve always been interested in two wheels, ever since I was a little kid,” he said.

Originally from Longwarry, Danny has spent time pursing cycling in his younger years, before finally running Drouin Cycles.

“I had a ball running the bike shop in Drouin for a couple of years, it’s been an even bigger eye-opener doing it for ourselves,” he said.

Mr Dilger is an active member of the Latrobe Valley cycling community.

“I was a member of the Warragul Cycling Club for 30 years. I’m now a member of the Latrobe City Cycling Club, because I married someone from Traralgon and we moved to Traralgon,” he told The Express.

Ms Dilger is responsible for much of the goings-on behind the scenes at Gippy Cycles.

She doesn’t have a long background in riding, however since meeting Ms Dilger she has taken it up and enjoys the sport.

Thank you to our community heroes I WANT to reach out to people in the community who are mental health workers, advocates who work at Barrier Breakers in Traralgon.

One of them happens to be an ex-advocate Lisa, who I hope to catch up with soon.

She is a hero of mine.

I’d like to see Barrier Breakers receive support from the state government for the outstanding work they do.

I just want to say thank you to our nurses, doctors, paramedics, police officers and all those people serving the people of our community.

Also, I want to say thank you to our taxi drivers, bus drivers and everyone in the community of Traralgon.

Let’s stand by one another at this time.

To those wonderful people who work in areas such as our disability services, Anglicare in Morwell and to you, The Express, WIN TV, ABC Gippsland, Gippsland FM, 3GG and Gippsland Gold thank you.

I want to see politicians stand up for mental health and disability services, but also take care of our people in aged care, and all people in the community.

But I want to acknowledge the contribution of each and every one during these challenging times we’re in.

Susan Rimington, Traralgon

Online comments MORWELL SOLAR FARM GETS THE NOD Wayne Holloway: The only ongoing jobs for the Valley will be for mowing the grass between the panels, and washing the panels. Probably two people.

Claudio Marino: It’s about time people started welcoming new technology. There’s a good possibility to create a recycling/new technology hub in the area. And the negativity persists. Being on a couple of big committees and looking to the future the hub is a reality.

We’ll never get the high employment of the SEC years, so anything is a bonus. As for the conspiracy theories, our safety legislation is second to none, so when little machine shops say, start popping up to service the industry, don’t be one of the one’s going, oh yeah??

David Farmer: Believe it when we see it, so many broken promises in the past?

David Burt: This is great news. Ensuring the Latrobe Valley continues in its role as a centre for energy way past our brown coal heritage.

One-sided

IN response to Dan Caffrey and his “all hype, no substance” opinion piece, Dan has highlighted CO2 emissions from the trail of HESC where he alludes to the subsequent emissions from the cooling of the hydrogen in order to liquefy it.

Let’s now turn to his love of all things solar and wind and the emissions they both require for firstly the mining of the precious minerals (often in third world countries), the shipping of those minerals across to China (using oil to propel the ship), the manufacturing of those minerals into a “clean energy” solar panel or windmill using other countries coal as electricity to make them, then to ship them across the globe (again using oil to propel the ship), for it to arrive here in Australia as “ clean energy” with a 20-year lifespan.

Maybe his next letter can convince everyone that it then only takes 15 years of “clean energy” to then become carbon neutral from the mining/ manufacturing process.

The sooner people like Dan open their eyes to the wider issue other than spruiking a half-baked clean energy story the more sensible solutions will be found to cleaner energy.

The spirit of febfast has always been to give a little up, to give a lot back to the community.

Surprise yourself, and sign up for a month without alcohol, sugar, or another vice of your choosing.

Febfast is the perfect excuse to kick-start the year with a little good health and good will.

Across Australia, we’re seeing thousands of people give up alcohol, sugar, or a vice of their choice in February to raise funds for young people experiencing serious disadvantage.

Funds raised give young people access to the resources and support they require to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

Benefits like better sleep, saving money, and getting fit speak for themselves.

Two-thirds of participants have signed up for a month-long fast from alcohol to reset after the festive season and to dial-up their New Year’s resolutions.

Febfast is run by the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS) and as our only fundraiser for the year, it raises critical funds to assist severely disadvantaged young Australians recover from serious drug, alcohol, and mental health problems, which have only been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Australia’s giant green gamble on solar energy toys

BY the time solar energy reaches Earth’s surface it is spread very thin – even midday sunshine will not boil the billy or make toast. And solar collectors will only convert about 20 per cent of that weak energy into electricity.

Thus thousands of solar panels are needed to collect significant energy, and lots more to charge the expensive batteries needed to maintain electricity supply overnight and during cloudy weather.

Despite these disadvantages, force-feeding of “green” energy by all levels of government has given Australia nearly three million solar collectors (mainly imported from China).

It requires slabs of land to generate significant electricity from the sun’s weak rays.

But even in sunny weather they produce nothing for 16 hours every day.

And a sprinkling of dust, pollen, ash or salt, or a few splatters of poop from birds or flying foxes can reduce output by 50 per cent, while night, snow or heavy cloud cover snuffs them out completely.

Solar energy collection is maximised if the panels face the sun exactly and follow the daily and seasonal movements of the sun across the sky.

No rooftop collectors and only 40 per cent of ground facilities can do this.

home sollar thatt on a good d day (no clloud d cover)) it generates 35kw and on a cloud covered day 5 or 6KW and I live in Qld, the Sunshine State.

The 150 people who now probably have skilled work will have to retrain as solar panel glass cleaners.

Tommy Quinn: Another dumb political mistake by a hopeless Labor government.

Victoria needs more clean coal and gas power stations. The Latrobe Valley is the ideal location for a new 500-1000MW power station. Panels are hopelessly inefficient, unreliable and depend on taxpayer charity.

Ashley Hiscock: Why put it on prime farming land when there is hundreds of acres of land available at the old power station sites?

Tanga Gardiner: Is there even a sun in the Latrobe Valley?

Simon Cook: Be lucky if the output is half that!

Dale Price: Absolute waste of space and effort.

Thus to produce the planned energy requires an even bigger area of collector panels, covering even more land.

Help fight Australia’s biggest killer this February

EVERY 10 minutes an Australian suffers a heart attack.

Sadly, many do not survive with 48 Australians dying every single day from heart disease someone’s family member, wife, husband, or special friend that means the world to them. Given that heart disease is our biggest killer, it would be impossible for all Australian communities to not be impacted in some way.

The simple fact is that there is still so much for us to learn about heart disease and research saves lives. Heart Research Australia aims to reduce the devastating impact heart disease has on families and the community by supporting world-class and emerging researchers to conduct ground-breaking research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.

That’s why this February we invite all Australians to get involved with REDFEB, heart health awareness month, to raise much-needed funds for ground-breaking research into heart disease. Getting involved is as simple as wearing red and donating to Heart Research Australia during the month of February. For more information or to donate, please visit www.heartresearch.com.au On behalf of the thousands of Australians impacted by heart disease every year, thank you for your support.

Celebrating Holden’s great legacy

By LIAM DURKIN

POSSIBLY the most Australian place to be on Australia Day was the Trafalgar Holden Museum.

The museum celebrated all things Holden, as hundreds of petrol heads brought classic and modern cars to Trafalgar for an old fashioned show and shine.

Australian flags were sprawled across the windscreen of some cars, alongside the Holden lion logo that has become instantly identifiable with Australia.

So big was the turnout, there wasn’t enough room in the museum’s car park or along Waterloo Road to house all the vehicles, meaning the excess cars had to be displayed at the nearby Trafalgar Recreation Reserve, with people needing to take a shuttle bus to catch a glimpse.

As cars lined the pavement and some hoods were lifted to show off the engine within, motoring enthusiasts clearly took great delight in showcasing their pride and joy.

Each car had a story, and there was no shortage of tales regarding the background to a particular vehicle or how it operated.

Torana and FE models were a feature on show, as were some very rustic utes that offered something of a step back in time such was their vintage.

Despite being a Holden display, there was still room for a few Model T Fords, some of which were close to 100 years old.

The old cars themselves force the average driver to rewire their entire car brain, as things such as hand cranks and hand throttles are commonplace in vintage models.

Highlight: Trafalgar Holden Museum secretary Jenny Middleton and president Neil Joiner in front of a 1956 FE. The museum welcomed dozens of cars for display on Australia Day. photographs liam durkin While driving has become something of a chore in modern society, the sight of old cars at the Holden Museum provided a visual narrative into the way in which technology has evolved in the last century.

Watt a day: Willie, Jake, Cooper and Nat Watt at the Trafalgar Holden Museum on Australia Day.

Labour of love: Nat Watt of Hazelwood North with her 1976 LX Torana, which took close to a decade to build.

Patrons of a particular generation may have even seen their first car on display inside the museum, possibly a Kingswood or Monaro evoking no shortage of memories.

Given the Holden brand is synonymous

with cars, many visitors to the museum may be surprised to learn the company also manufactured things such as trams, saddles, golf clubs and even military equipment.

Trafalgar Holden Museum president Neil Joiner said it was especially fitting the J museum was able to tell the whole story m of o Holden alongside significant moments throughout Australian history on Australia t Day. D “We’re here celebrating all Australian-made m motorcars and Australian manufacturing … t that is what it is all about,” he said.

“Holden played a major part in the Boer War, W World War I and World War II, which is ust mind blowing - that is our next developju ment (exhibition) within the next six to nine m months and that will really, I think, open m everybody’s eyes about Australian e manufacturing, Australian ingenuity and m technology.” t The Trafalgar Holden Museum is located a 69 Waterloo Rd, Trafalgar and open until at 5 5pm daily.

The museum is a volunteer organisation.

You can be part of the conversation

FEDERATION University Australia is inviting the community, government, industry partners, staff, and students to join the conversation about its Campus Vision for Gippsland.

Federation is keen to hear about what the university means to them and how they and the university can grow together.

The Campus Vision 2022-2025 launched in January sets out a clear way forward for Victoria’s premier regional university to build a strong and sustainable future across all the regions it serves.

“Our Campus Vision presents a model for what a modern university can and should be – a strong, sustainable, and thriving university that will transform lives and enhance communities for generations to come,” Federation University Australia vice-chancellor and president, Professor Duncan Bentley said.

“We want our campuses to be places where members of the community feel welcome to come

“We are seeking feedback to help inform detailed

master-planning for our campuses as the next step in bringing this vision to life, so we can start building a strong and sustainable university together.”

Federation will embrace innovative forms of education delivery to prepare students for jobs of the future through programs and courses that will drive economic growth and jobs.

New technologies will be used to connect classrooms, people, and communities in new and productive ways.

Placemaking and engagement specialists Village Well have been employed by the University to manage the engagement activities that will help to inform master planning for each of the campuses.

A two-stage engagement strategy has been developed with the community and key stakeholders to inform a Shared Vision and Guiding Principles. Those unable to attend will be able to contribute their ideas via an online survey on the Federation University website.

You’ll balk at restrictions being placed on you (especially at work) but resist the urge to be a disruptive influence. Put your personal wishes aside, and make sure you stay well-informed and fulfil your responsibilities to the wider community for the greater good.

dynamic Mars (your ruler) form a fabulous trine. So it’s time to be brazenly bold and dazzlingly daring as you initiate ideas, launch projects and make changes in your life. Be inspired by birthday great, writer Alice Walker: “We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that’s going on always and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.” The weekend favours casual business meetings and catching up with colleagues.

GGemini With Mercury, Venus, Mars

Cancer This week’s stars help you view a close partnership from a surprising perspective.

With a few strategic tweaks, the relationship can be turned around and transformed. You’re also keen to show loved ones how much you really care. Avoid being too overprotective though. All relationships need room to breathe and there’s a big difference between loving and smotheringg. Be insppired byy birthdayy great,, writer Charles Dickens: “A loving heart is the truest wisdom.”

Leo Stimulating conversation and exciting

adventures are the keys to a satisfying week.

But has your job or home life become rigid and boring? Dynamic Mars and innovative Uranus shake up your daily routine zone. So get ready for some surprising changes and hold on tight!

Your fiery temper – or an impulsive outburst – could set the Cat amongst the pigeons on the weekend. The current situation is complex, so calm down and try to keep a sense of perspective.

Virgo g Adventurous Virgo, with Mars and

Urannus activating your travel and leisure zones, you’re feeling restless and are keen to take a trip somewhere soon. If you can’t jump in a car, bus, boat, train or plane, then go travelling in your mind via books and movies. All forms of communication are favoured, as you convey your message to an expanding audience.

The weekend’s a wonderful time to tackle a creative project or start writing an ambitious new wish list.

you may feel as if you’re going backwards but putting in longer hours won’t fix the problem.

Do your best to work smarter rather than harder. If you relax and let things flow, then the ideas will come. Your domestic situation is going through a major metamorphosis, as you initiate a change that livens up your home life.

When it comes to close relationships, aim to be less self-absorbed and more sympathetic to the needs of loved ones.

Sagittarius g Spontaneous Sagittarius

Capricorn p No less than four planets are poweering through your sign – Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. So you’re in hard-working, perfectionist, conscientious, super-Capricorn mode.

Which is OK – just don’t overdo it! Balance is the key, as you introduce some quiet, restful moments into your constantly busy days. As writer (and birthday great) Alice Walker reminds us: “M May we learn to honour the hammock, the siesta, the nap and the pause in all its forms.”

Aquarius q Restless Aquarians love radical channge. And this week you’re in a mad rush to shake up the status quo, as Mars and Uranus boost your impatient side and you’re desperate to do everything ASAP. But slow down or you’ll come a cropper! Plus handle a family member with extra care … they may feel unsettled by your relentless pace. On the weekend you’re in the mood for colourful daydreams, secretive meetings and intense conversations.

New students and principal welcomed to Lumen Christi THE Foundation students were bright and bubbly, eager to commence their first day at their new school, Lumen Christi Primary School in Churchill.

They were greeted at the gate by new principal Sally Darby, who was astounded by the keenness of the new students, independently walking into the classroom on their own.

Mrs Darby comes to the school from St Gabriel’s Primary School, Traralgon, where she was deputy principal for three years.

“I’m really excited to be starting and I feel so welcomed by the whole Lumen Christi community,” Mrs Darby said.

“I’m excited to be leading such a wonderful school.”

Teacher Elly Smith was impressed with how quickly the children settled once they were dropped off.

Ms Smith kept the children busy all day and they completed many activities such as counting, storytime and many fun games.

“They were very engaged and ready to learn,” Ms Smith said.

“I’ve had the best day ever,” Foundation student Maya said.

Pisces Karma and destiny are dancing

around you this week. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto are activating your hopes-and-wishes zone. So you need to think very carefully about the aspirations you are choosing and the goals you are setting, right here and right now. Your motto for the moment is from writer and activist Alice Walker (who turns 78 on Wednesday): “Look closely at the present you are constructing; it should look like the future you are dreaming.”

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

RUGBY LEAGUE 9Gem, Saturday, from 5pm

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the long-running series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

Footy fans can rejoice; the game is back with a triple header to kick-off the 2022 season. After the pandemic played havoc with fixtures and venues last year, Sydney is for the first time hosting the showpiece All Stars event, with a men’s contest, a women’s clash and even a touch football game. Live from CommBank Stadium, the Indigenous All Stars (including South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker, pictured right) will take on the Maori All Stars (featuring Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, pictured left) in a lively match, with spectators sure to be fired up and in good spirits. The event will hopefully mark the start of a season that returns some semblance of normalcy to passionate fans across the country.

You vowed and declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s (pictured) second-ever intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect, both physically and emotionally, with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

FRAMED SBS, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction. When awardwinning journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with outlandish ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment.

Deputy Mayor the special guest

All smiles: Rotary Club of Morwell president David McInnes thanks guest speaker, Latrobe City Council Deputy Mayor Dan Clancey after his presentation. photograph supplied

“WHAT it is to be an Australian” was the topic at the recent Morwell Rotary Club meeting with guest speaker, Latrobe City Deputy Mayor Dan Clancey, invited to lead the discussion.

Cr Clancey told Rotary members that he initially thought the topic would be quite an easy one to discuss, and that he thought he could be jingoistic about Australian attributes, but upon further consideration of our values, came to the conclusion that we are not unique among the 195 countries around the world.

Many countries share our values and some show patriotic tendencies much more obviously than us.

Cr Clancey stated that he believed the shared values of Australians show us to be hardworking, honest, happy, helpful and friendly and always ready to ‘step up’ to help neighbours, friends and strangers in times of need.

Cr Clancey’s presentation initiated much discussion which led to some overseas born Rotary members sharing their reasons why they chose

to be Australians, and recognition that whilst some old cultural connections remain, benefits of Australian life are obvious, and hearts and heads can often be in two different places.

Many of those present exchanged overseas experiences and agreed that whilst travelling and working overseas there is a special bond that connects Australians to each other while able to appreciate other countries and cultures, in comparison, Australia is indeed the ‘Lucky Country’ and there is something special about being an Aussie!

In closing his presentation, Cr Clancey recognised and paid tribute to Rotarians and other local volunteers who stepped up to help others in ‘typical Aussie style’, and thanked Rotarians for their regular community service involvement.

Club president David McInnes thanked Cr Clancey for his time and valued contribution to the evening program and made a small presentation as a token of appreciation.

Special Publications What’s On in Latrobe

Summer

Food relief gets support LATROBE City Council has received $16,700 from the state government to assist those struggling during the pandemic.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing announced the grant late last month.

Latrobe City Council is one of 13 organisations receiving funding in the latest round of the Food Relief Financial Reserve.

The Reserve was established to provide extra support to community food relief providers.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the council welcomed the support from the state government.

“Latrobe City Council has been at the forefront of supporting COVID impacted community members since early 2021,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“We’ve worked in partnership with Red Cross, the Department of Fairness, Families and Housing and the Gippsland Region Public Health Unit to assist with delivering food and immediate needs in Latrobe City.”

“Community members seeking support can contact the Victorian government’s Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398. Your request will be triaged accordingly and referred to council when required.”

Since February 2020, the state government has invested more than $39 million to expand community relief across the state.

“It’s more important than ever that we support those in need, and this funding to Latrobe City Council will provide food security to those families and households who need a hand,” Ms Shing said.

“No one in our community should be going hungry, which is why it’s so important to invest in our local food relief organisations.”

Pet rehoming report released THE state government has released their final report on the Taskforce on Rehoming Pets.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas welcomed the report late last month.

The taskforce was instated in March 2021, to evaluate how to improve the rehoming of dogs and cats across the state - including those used in medical research.

Its primary goals are to improve pet welfare, specifically rehoming pathways and survival rates.

A total of 17 recommendations are made in the report, including improvements to the regulatory framework for rehoming pets, increase transparency in the moment of animals, and better reporting of data. Further grants to support the sector were also suggested.

To inform the final report, the taskforce consulted various stakeholders, government authorities and the general community.

There were several topics raised at the end of the report that were considered “out-of-scope issues’’, many of which suggested reducing the need for rehoming services, reviewing or reforming council practices and changes to microchipping arrangements.

Chair of the taskforce and Member for Western Victoria Andy Meddick said he looks forward to seeing the impact the findings of the report will have.

“I’m proud to lead this taskforce and thank everyone who contributed to the recommendations,” he said.

“Together, we’ve formulated recommendations that will give our cats and dogs the best chance of survival, and a good life. I look forward to seeing this advice informing future policy decisions.”

LATROBE City Libraries will host two author talks in February, including a return to in-person events.

Best-selling author of ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’ Heather Morris will be back to talk about her latest book, ‘Three Sisters’, in conversation with writer and journalist Claire Halliday.

Warrnambool bookshop owner Lorraine Smith will then discuss her book ‘Journey of a Lost Manuscript’ about a customer finding a 16th century manuscript between the pages of ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said author talks were an entertaining and educational experience.

“It’s always thrilling to hear from authors, either face-to-face or online, as they discuss the books we love and allow us to join the conversation,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Author talks often feature discourse

ONE of the region’s biggest tourist attractions, the Gippsland Vehicle Collection (GVC) in Maffra, will close its doors on Saturday, February 12 and reopen on Saturday, April 2 to undertake significant work on a section of its roof.

The volunteer-run organisation has a big job ahead, clearing the museum so the works can take place, managing the construction and clean-up phase, then getting everything back in place for its re-opening.

However, GVC president Colin McQuillen, said the work will be well worth it, thanks to a generous grant from Wellington Shire Council, which has allowed the organisation to fix double the area of roof that was originally slated for repairs.

“The Museum has the privilege of being housed in this beautiful old building that really captures the atmosphere of what we work to achieve here,” Mr McQuillen said.

“When we decided to buy the building from Murray Goulburn we knew it had an asbestos roof, and we knew we would have to address replacing it someday.

“We were organising the works to remove one small section of the roof at the back of the building. This would have still required us to close down for weeks, move all the exhibits and then move back in, with all the disruption and hard work that requires.”

He said the announcement by Wellington Shire Council that they would contribute $72,000 to the project was very welcome, and had doubled its impact.

“We are really grateful to the Shire for demonstrating its ongoing support of our organisation by making these funds available,” he said.

The Gippsland Vehicle Collection, which opened in 2006, and Model World Maffra, is housed in the old vegetable dehydration factory, which was built in 1943 to supply rations for Australian troops serving in World War II. In 1948, the building was converted to a knitting mill for La Mode Industries.

But despite all its previous industry, the building had sat vacant and dilapidated for decades before it caught the attention of three local car enthusiasts cooking up a plan to create a wonderful vehicle museum for the region.

It was lovingly brought back to life with thousands of hours of volunteer labour, and converted into the dynamic museum that it is today.

The Gippsland Vehicle Collection attracts more than 10,000 visitors each year and is a significant contributor to the visitor economy, as well as to the life and culture of the district.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS Council certainly hopes so – that figures is roughly what it is still owed by the collapsed Eastern Pride entity.

If the auction raises more than what council is owed, that money will be distributed to the club’s second line of creditors, which includes former club staff, players and council itself, owed for a variety of minor debts, including defaulted rates.

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

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

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

50 YEARS AGO WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1972

Morwell hosts medical student

Morwell’s newest medical ‘recruit’ has taken the scenic route to undertake a two-week placement in the Latrobe Valley.

Melbourne medical student Rob Phair arrived in Morwell after stepping off a plane from the other side of the world, following a two-month solo cycling trip across Burma, Pakistan and India.

He is here as a recipient of a John Flynn Scholarship, which means Morwell will be a home away from home for the next four years.

Planning scheme report for Gippsland councils

Planning for Gippsland’s future should be at a regional as well as a local level, according to a detailed report which has been prepared by the Town and Country Planning Board.

The Gippsland area – based on communities with strong regional affinities – would include the cities of Moe, Sale and Traralgon; the shires of Avon, Buln Buln, Maffra, Morwell, Narracan, Rosedale, Traralgon and Warragul; and the Yallourn works area.

The report says the validity of such as grouping can only be confirmed or otherwise by wide consultation, particularly with municipal councils, and this should be the next step in the process of determining an appropriate boundary for a regional planning authority in Gippsland.

Both ‘first dayers’

About 1000 four-and-half and five-year-olds began school throughout the Latrobe Valley last Wednesday and sharing that new feeling at the Collins St (Morwell) Primary School were Mr Bill Sutton and Shinichi Yoshimura.

It was Mr Sutton’s first day as principal, Shinichi’s first day as a pupil.

Mr Sutton was previously second to the principal at Glengarry.

FUN FACT: A cute as a button three-bedroom home in the popular Newborough area was on the market for $82,500 at Keith Williams Real Estate.

Raltrice favourite for Friday’s big cup

Melbourne-trained Raltrice, a winner at his last three starts, looks the popular elect from nominations to win the $2000 Traralgon Cup to be run at Glenview Park on Friday.

Raltrice scored an effortless win in the Hanging Rock Cup on New Year’s Day and at his last start defeated Better Sun and Fonsagrada in the Australia Day Cup at Yarra Glen.

The tight Traralgon course should suit Raltrice’s racing style as he is at home making the pace or racing in a handy position.

FUN FACT: Village Drive-In Movies at Traralgon and Moe were advertising the new films Point Blank, starring Lee Marvin, Doctor Dolittle and The Return of Count Yorga.

40 YEARS AGO TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1982

Firebug: There could be two

Police fear that there may be two firebugs operating in the Latrobe Valley and one may be a woman.

Police have been given reporters of two separate cars being seen driving away from the scene of some of the numerous small outbreaks of fires over the weekend, many of them in Sunday’s 40 degree heat.

One of the cars was said to be driven by a woman.

A police spokesman said last night: “So far the fire brigades have been able to keep on top of the fires and, apart from the Hernes Oak fires (of a fortnight ago), damage has been restricted to grass and scrub. How much longer will it be before somebody is seriously injured or loses their life remains to be seen.”

Four dredgers up for sale

The SEC is currently negotiating to sell and lease back another four Latrobe Valley dredgers and a mobile slewing conveyor.

And it is considering doing the same with one of its power stations.

The Minister of Minerals and Energy Mr Crozier has revealed this in a reply to a question raised by the Member for Morwell, Ms Callister.

Last year, the SEC set a new precedent by selling its Number 13 dredger – built in 1977 for work in the Yallourn open cut at a cost of $7 million – and leasing it back.

PM’s ‘friendly’ visit stirs workers The surprise visit by the Prime Minister to the Latrobe Valley on Thursday caused a snap walk-out at Loy Yang, prompted heckling by workers on major construction projects and upset the local Federal Member because of its breach of protocol.

Young gun speedster Tom Shippen blasted out the Churchill batsmen and probably the Cobras chances of reaching the finals, in an inspired spell of bowling that saw him take 7/23 in Traralgon and District cricket on Saturday.

With the wind at his back, Shippen bowled with great hostility and the Churchill top order was not up to the task in a game which it had to win.

Lee Farley, Justin Edwards, Jason Shields and Craig Flanigan were all sent packing without as much as a whimper as Churchill’s pursuit of a meagre 156 went horribly astray, bowled out for 92.

10 YEARS AGO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2012

Bus users struggle

PRIME MINISTER MALCOLM FRASER POSES FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS AT THE BLUE ROCK DAM SITE IN FEBRUARY 1982.

Mr Fraser toured Loy Yang, the Blue Rock Dam site and Yallourn W during his day-long visit.

Other engagements were a Liberal Party function in Morwell and a civic reception in Traralgon.

As he arrived at Loy Yang, members of the Builders Labourers Federation walked out.

“Once Fraser goes off the site, we’ll go back to work,” union organiser Peter Woods told The Express.

“It’s not just because of Hazelton. That has got something to do with it, but we figure that sooner or later the airport will have to be upgraded.”

Mr Shanahan said the airfield’s shortcomings had prevented many VIPs from landing in the Latrobe Valley.

“Even the PM once couldn’t land his private jet,” he said.

FUN FACT: Billingsley Travel Service advertised a 17-day accommodated tour, with a coach to Cairns and flight home for $1099 each.

Round 12 in Traralgon and District Cricket was completed on Saturday and it appears CATS will finish top, Traralgon West second, with Centrals, Ex Students and Tyers fighting it out for third and fourth spot.

Individual highlights saw honours go to the batsmen – CATS player Robbie Clough hit up 112, Anthony Bloomfield of Rovers 97 not out, Mick Robinson of Centrals 91 not out, Wayne Twite of Gormandale 88 not out and Col Sing of Imperials 83.

In the big upset of the round Rovers 5/230 defeated Ex Students 201.

Traralgon GPs unite to save kids ward

In an unprecedented move, 18 Traralgon GPS have united in an effort to save the Traralgon hospital children’s ward.

For the first time, ‘The GPs of Traralgon’ have made public their ‘’deep concern’’ at plans to transfer the Traralgon children’s ward to Moe. In a letter to The Express, the GPs called upon the Latrobe Regional Hospital Board to acknowledge ‘’the strong support from the medical and paediatric nursing staff, and general community for the retention of the existing paediatric services at Traralgon ….”

LRC funding ‘wish’’ for airfield lengthening

IN a ‘wish list’ to the state government, the Latrobe Regional Commission has asked for funding to extend the Latrobe Valley Airfield.

The request was spurred on by Hazelton Airlines’ interest in developing freight and passenger air service between the Latrobe Valley and Sydney.

“This is a project that won’t go away,” LRC chief executive officer Philip Shanahan told commissioners last week.

“Sooner or later the ability to carry a plane with 28 passengers will be valuable.

Field narrows in battle for TDCA final four

Mobil Park to go under the hammer

Latrobe City Council is set to embark on a wide advertising campaign to publicise the public auction of Mobil Park next month.

Council says it was forced into the decision to go to auction after the three expressions of interest it received last year did not go close to council’s asking price.

Two of those interested parties have slammed the move, with one group subsequently withdrawing its interest in the facility.

The auction will be held on site on Thursday, March 28 at 2pm, with one real estate expert predicting the property might sell for ‘’in excess” of $500,000.

Latrobe City councillors have called for the state government to publicly release the report on which the new bus services were based, in a move to help disadvantaged commuters.

The request stemmed from ongoing anxiety from the community’s most vulnerable, including the elderly and disabled who, according to the councillors, were struggling to adapt to the new services, which began in January.

The motion was put forward at Monday night’s council meeting by Councillor Graeme Middlemiss, who said he feared ‘’transport patterns have change’’ since the community consultation, which began in 2008.

“What inevitably happens in these major changes is people fall through the gaps, many people have missed out following these changes,” Cr Middlemiss said.

Big win ticket unclaimed

Someone in Gippsland could be holidaying in the Bahamas this week but instead they are likely to be going about their business oblivious to the fact their unclaimed Tatts ticket is a winner.

Traralgon Newsagency and Lotto maintained its healthy odds at the weekend by selling another division one ticket from a Saturday TattsLotto draw, this one worth $892,135, but as yet no-one has claimed the prize.

It also sold two division two winning tickets, each worth almost $10,000.

Playing on the big stage

Moe basketballers Rhys Anderson and Millie Walker represented Victoria Country Under-14s in separate events during the school holidays.

The top 16 players, boys and girls, were selected to play at the Southern Cross Basketball Challenge in Ballarat on January 20-23.

“Rhys had a great time playing in a team with boys from across country Victoria including Traralgon’s Nathan Catherwood,” a spokesperson said.

Millie was selected to play in Albury against teams from across Australia and New Zealand, and was also part of the Victorian Goldminers team.

FUN FACT: Fresh flake from Manny’s Market in Morwell was on sale for $5.99 a kilogram.

and Under-18 boys’ teams made the trip to Glen Eira at the weekend in the National Premier Leagues competition.

Under-15

GLEN Eira FC is always a tough assignment first up.

The club is one of the top seeded clubs in NPL South qualification division and perennial age group title contenders.

Add a few omissions from the team owing to players isolating because of COVID and the challenge only multiplied for the Gippsland boys.

After going down a goal in the first minute of play the U15s would go into the half time break with a credible 0-2 scoreline.

Midfielders Henry Wynne and Hamish Gleeson battled hard against their highly credentialed opponents, while stand-in goalkeeper Tanna Leicester worked overtime to keep his team in the contest.

Things unravelled a little as fatigue and a couple of injuries crept in with Glen Eira only getting on top in the last 20 minutes of the second-half to run out winners 0-9.

With nine more qualifying rounds to go the team is confident of improvement and will be aiming to qualify for the second NPL division in the season proper.

Under-16

THE Under-16 squad was enthusiastic despite having several players being unavailable.

Thankfully they were replaced by some of the talented Under-15 players.

The Gippsland team worked hard to keep the Glen Eira team to two goals at half-time.

Much of the game was played in Gippsland’s defensive half.

Ben McCartney and Rex Parini led the defence while under pressure, resulting in many shots on goal going over the net.

Under 15s goalkeeper, Jedd Foster, stepped in and made many great saves, including a penalty shot.

Lucus Vick had an opportunity to score, however the ball bounced off the post.

Despite limited shots on goal, the boys

showed resilience throughout the game.

The final score was Gippsland 0, Glen Eira 6.

Under-18

Perfect conditions greeted both sides as Gippsland FC welcomed Glen Eira in round one of the NPL qualifying series.

Both teams started well with Glen Eira creating the best chances only to be denied by the great defense of Harry Tosch and Dylan Dunstall and several great saves by goalkeeper Jared Goodwin.

In the 23rd minute, Glen Eira would score however the home team would stand strong and go into half-time only the one goal down.

Glen Eira came out strong in the second-half and scored two quick goals yet Gippsland FC fought hard and started to create some fantastic opportunities due to

the midfield pressure of Harry Bettridge and Julian Colantuono.

With Charlie Cockell a persistent threat a goal looked likely for the home team unfortunately the game would end with Glen Eira scoring another goal with the last kick of the game. It was an encouraging first game for GFC with the team showing enough to give hope for a successful season.

GFC 0 Glen Eira 4.

GIPPSLAND FC next plays Langwarrin FC on Sunday at Latrobe City Sports Stadium in Morwell.

Gippsland FC currently has two additional vacancies in both their Under16 and Under-18 squads.

Please call Mark Cassar on 0437 496 757 for further information or to organise a trial time.

Key partnership bolsters Raiders CRICKET

MORWELL Tigers Yinnar Raiders Cricket Club has welcomed the announcement by Construction Sciences that it will extend its financial support for a further year.

Construction Sciences has been the club’s major sponsor since 2018.

Club president Darren Burrows said the sponsorship not only contributed to the running and maintenance of the club but had a positive effect on the wider community.

“Over the past three years, Yinnar and district has experienced natural disasters such as flood and bushfire, as well as the closure of the Hazelwood Power Station. These events can impact the people of the district in terms of financial hardship as well as mental health and wellbeing. Knowing that Construction Sciences is there as a major sponsor, to assist with funding for things like grounds upkeep and club apparel, eases the burden on members and players,” he said.

“Pleasingly, we’ve even been able to ensure our junior players can play for free, which reduces the pressure on families who might be struggling with finances. We’d like to extend our thanks to Construction Sciences for their ongoing support.”

Construction Sciences is Australia’s largest Construction Materials Testing company, providing quality assurance testing for soils, concrete and aggregates and specialising in large infrastructure projects.

The company employs 10 people at its Traralgon site and has been operating in the Gippsland area since 2015.

Area manager Adam Gleeson said that community support was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

“As an organisation based in this region, and employing locals, we know the importance of supporting the community,” he said.

Great support: Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders Cricket Club has been able to waive junior fees thanks to the support of Construction Sciences, which has extended it support for a further year. Welcoming the news is Raiders president Darren Burrows (right) and Construction Sciences area manager Adam Gleeson. photograph supplied “We are delighted to see our contribution to the Morwell Tigers Yinnar Raiders Cricket Club in action - the ground boasts one of the best playing surface and turf area in the Latrobe Valley.

“Local sport is often the heart of a small community, bringing people together for physical exercise and social wellbeing. We are proud to be able to be associated with the club and its clear service to its district.”

Teenage bowler is turning heads BOWLS

By LIAM DURKIN

WHOEVER said bowls was a sport for senior citizens didn’t think to tell Zac Arnold.

The 13-year-old recently took to the green to play Division 1 for Morwell Club in the Strzelecki Bowls Region North Saturday Pennant competition.

Bowling on his home turf during Round 9, the youngster led the fourth rink alongside Alan Campbell, David Stevens and skip Robert ‘Nobby’ Noblett, and saw his team to victory over Drouin with the final scoreboard reading 16-91 to 2-77.

Arnold received plaudits from his much more senior competitors, who were impressed with how quickly he adapted to the top flight.

While most kids are bowling cricket balls during summer, Arnold is instead partaking in bowling of a different kind.

As Arnold said, he belongs to a fairly exclusive group.

“There aren’t many, I think there is one in Traralgon but that is all I know around my age doing lawn bowls,” he said.

Arnold was called up to the first picked team in the days leading up to his debut following some strong performances in the lower grades.

“They told me a few days before, they said ‘you’re playing in divvy one, we’ll give you a shot up there’,” he explained.

The rise in class brought out the best in Arnold, who felt he bowled as well as he ever has when pitted against Division 1 players.

In his rink, Morwell Club won 24-15.

“There was a little bit of extra pressure … the standard was a lot better, they drive and draw more,” Arnold said.

Arnold was first shown lawn bowls by his father Wayne and has been hooked on the sport ever since.

“I got introduced by my dad and came down for a bit of Thursday night bowls, played it the first time, wasn’t so good the first time but just kept on playing over and over again, it became fun so I stuck with it,” he said.

“It’s awesome, everyone says it is an old mans sport but it is a lot of fun.”

With a Division 1 game now under his belt, one can only imagine how many Arnold will tally by the time he reaches an age when most people do actually start playing lawn bowls.

Getting in early: Zac Arnold made his debut for Morwell Club in Division 1 bowls at just 13 years of age. photograph liam durkin

Metronomic: Steve Warr was at his miserly best for Churchill against Trafalgar, taking 2/13 off 10 overs. photograph liam durkin CRICKET LVDCL

By GREGOR MACTAGGART

CHURCHILL continues to set the pace at the top of the LVDCL Premier A Grade ladder after a comfortable six-wicket win against Trafalgar on Saturday.

Brendan Mason’s brilliant 84 from just 72 deliveries ensured the Cobras overhauled Trafalgar’s score of 166 with more than 20 overs to spare.

In doing so, Churchill landed yet another bonus point which may well prove decisive in the race for the minor premiership.

Apart from a stout 39 from Aydan Connolly, Trafalgar’s top order did not capitalise on first use of the Joe Tabuteau Reserve wicket.

Jackson Noonan’s breezy 24, which included three fours and a towering six, was a handy cameo against what was a disciplined Churchill attack.

Ricky Velardi proved the most successful of the Cobras bowlers, returning his best-ever A Grade figures of 4/23 and the irrepressible Steve Warr (2/13) gave away little in his 10-over spell.

Churchill’s chase got off to a sluggish start with the loss of opener Ryan Wilk for a duck, but Mason and Matt Harvey soon turned the momentum the Cobras’ way.

The duo put on 90 at a fair clip before Harvey (39) was bowled by Aiden George.

Mason continued on his merry way, reaching his half-century and motoring on, hitting eight boundaries and a six during his 99-minute stay at the crease.

The introduction of teenager Owen McLeodAgland brought a halt to Mason’s masterclass on 84.

Nick Duncan (27) produced his best knock of the season and despite falling just short of the winning target, John Keighran came to the crease to hit the winning runs.

Panthers overwhelm Tigers

JEERALANG-BOOLARRA issued a statement with an emphatic 102-run away win against Mirboo North.

The Panthers produced one of its most complete performances in a long time.

Electing to bat after winning the toss, JeeralangBoolarra posted 6/210 with half-centuries to Ben McCormack and Nilantha Thillekarathna the highlight.

McCormack, in particular, displayed great touch, hitting five fours and two sixes in his 57 from just 64 deliveries.

Thillekarathna played the anchor role with an unbeaten 56, while Matt McGrath (23), Ossy Brennan (21) and Ben Heath (20) all contributed to the cause.

Max Woodall (2/43) and Hudson Kerr (2/53) were the lone Mirboo North bowlers to take multiple wickets.

The Tigers never looked likely in the chase, despite three of the top four batsmen in Zach Hollis (25), Kerr (25) and skipper Jesse Giardina (21) getting starts.

The Panthers bowlers shared the success around with the underrated Brennan (3/16) again impressing.

McGrath (2/7), Hasitha Hewawasam (2/12) and Stan Urbanic (2/26) also shone with the ball.

Centrals win a tight contest

CENTRALS recorded a 27-run win over Latrobe at Peter Siddle Oval.

The Lions were sent into bat by the home side and looked in early trouble at 3/23.

But a 101-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Tye Hourigan and Sam Gray (32) steered the Centrals’ ship back on track.

Hourigan continues to show he is one of the league’s top batsmen when he gets going and scored a stylish 75 before falling to the evergreen Anthony Bloomfield.

Lachlan Patterson continued his breakout season with a smashing 36 not out from 26 balls to help lift Centrals to 5/190.

Tyron Gamage (2/37) was the most successful Latrobe bowler.

The Sharks found themselves on the back foot early at 2/9 with openers Bloomfield and Anu Meenakshi back in the pavilion.

Captain Benn Zomer’s 33 gave Latrobe some momentum ahead of middle-order runs from Izayah Terrick (24) and Navin Gomez (35).

But Centrals continued to take wickets and bowled out the Sharks for 163.

South African all-rounder Reghard Hefer collected his second successive four-wicket haul (4/27) and Mark Rawson returned the figures of 2/22.

Mitchell, Savige lift Lions JOEL Mitchell’s unbeaten 86 guided Moe to a six-wicket win against CATS at Traralgon South.

Ash Savige took 5/14 as CATS were bowled out for 169.

Callum Stewart top-scored with 47, with Josh Keyhoe (29) and Jamie Cochrane (28) also getting good starts.

Savige was the pick of the Moe bowlers, although Mitchell and Royce Colgrave each took two wickets.

Moe found themselves at 2/19 early doors after the departure of star batsman Andrew Philip (10), but Mitchell soon eased any nerves.

He found willing allies in Noah Kane (24), who he shared a 49-run partnership with and Sean Spiteri (33).

The Mitchell-Spiteri union realised 62 and put Moe well within sight of success.

Mitchell hit seven fours and three sixes in what was his second half-century of the season.

Stewart (2/25) proved the most successful CATS bowler.

Morwell’s simply marvellous MORWELL scored a six-wicket win against Traralgon West at Morwell Recreation Reserve, nabbing a valuable bonus point.

The Eagles could muster just 8/143 after electing to bat, with captain Rob Wilkie and Tim Fitch both scoring 31.

Morwell’s relentless approach with the ball was best typified by Brendan Brincat (4/14), while Dylan Day (2/25) and Mark Cukier (2/31) also bowled well.

Cukier then set the tone with the willow.

His unbeaten 82 was the cornerstone of the Morwell innings as the Tigers overhauled the target with 83 balls to spare.

Blair Clymo chipped in with 21.

Ben Edebohls (2/16) proved the best of the Traralgon West bowlers.

Pelicans sample a victory

CRICKET TDCA

Imperials v Yarram & District

Ex Students v Toongabbie

EX Students flexed their muscles in a spirited game at the Traralgon Recreation Reserve.

Toongabbie won the toss and batted first but were in all sorts of trouble early as Michael and Tim Dunn were out in consecutive balls in the first over of the day to Jimmy Pryde.

Zak Russell was able to withstand the onslaught for a little bit, but as wickets fell around him he was eventually out for 15 with the score on 5/55.

Captain Keenan Hughes tried fighting fire with fire as he hit four fours on his way to 24 from 22 balls but it wasn’t nearly enough as the Rams were knocked over in the 30th over for just 88.

Pryde’s opening spell set the tone of Toongabbie’s

Imperials v Gormandale

IMPERIALS have nothing to lose this weekend, with only two games left in their regular season, they have to win this game, and then somehow knock-off Ex Students to reach the finals series.

Gormandale have everything to lose as they are only five points ahead of Yarram on the ladder, hanging on to fourth spot.

The Tigers are well rested following a bye last round, while Imperials lost to Yarram by three wickets, thanks to the quality bowling of Joel Randall and Brad Sizeland, both taking two wickets.

Ross Williams continues to impress and is currently leading the TDCA wickets with 18, while teammate Sizeland is close behind on 15.

One to watch: Ross Williams and Joel Randall took six wickets between them last time to bowl Gormandale out for 111.

ROVERS v GLENGARRY Rovers Innings

Leading the way: Ryan Morley scored 38 during Imperials’ loss to Yarram & District in TDCA A Grade action on Saturday. file photograph innings as the star spinner took 4/21 in his 10 overs as he then handed it over to Michael Warne to clean up the tail as Warne took the last four wickets of the innings for a miserly three runs in just 3.5 overs.

If the Rams were going to have any sort of chance they needed their star quick to do the damage early and do the damage he did.

Hughes was breathing fire as he steamed in against Ex Students’ potent top order.

First he dismissed Matt Dyke for five, then he knocked over in form superstar Lee Stockdale for 10 just before sending Jimmy Pryde’s bails flying for a duck as Ex Students found themselves reeling at 3/19.

But, as he always seems to do when the Sharks backs are to the wall, Rick Battista played a dogged innings as he stopped the Rams momentum before lifting the scoring rate to finish the game off strong in just the 20th over finishing on 44 not out from 43 balls which included seven boundaries and a six.

Matt Robertson was the other not out batsman on 23 when the game finished with Ex Students notching up a dominant win over a likely finals contender.

The Sharks now sit firmly atop of the ladder while Toongabbie remain in third position.

Rovers v Glengarry

GLENGARRY had a similar game to Ex Students as they had a dominant win over Rovers at Duncan Cameron Park.

Rovers were without captain Dougal Williams who would leave a huge hole in the top order as he is in tremendous form at the moment.

Rovers won the toss and batted hoping that for at least once their openers could get a good start but

again trouble struck early and Rovers lost a clump of wickets, quickly finding themselves on 4/22.

Simon Duff (21) tried his hardest and the tail wagged a bit as well with number nine Kayleb Pearce making 11 and number 10 Brandon Hamilton top scoring with 22.

Every bowler for Glengarry took a wicket which has been the theme for the Magpies this season.

It’s no surprise Nat Freitag was the standout claiming 2/9 from 7.2 overs as Al Jenkin (2/16) and Max Merton (2/18) were the other multiple wickettakers.

Rovers were going to need early wickets but they just haven’t come for the boys in blue this season.

Stand-in captain Ewan Williams needed to roll the dice and give their best performed bowler for the season Simon Duff the new ball to try and spin up a storm, but it was too late once Duff was brought on as Glengarry lost their only wicket with the score on 58.

Opening bat Jenkin was then joined by Glengarry skipper Freitag and the two went about quickly getting the game over and done with as Freitag remained not out on 25 while Jenkin was clearly man of the match making a hard-hitting 70 not out from just 71 balls which included 10 boundaries and a six.

This dominant win keeps Glengarry within a stones throw of top spot while Rovers now go into a bye next week.

Rovers will finish the season off against Yarram and Toongabbie which are two winnable games for the young team, but results will need to go their way next week for them to be in the hunt of a finals berth.

GORMANDALE had the bye.

BEAUTIFUL conditions in the lead up to Round 11 would have had most thinking it would be a chance for batsmen to fill their boots at the weekend, but it wasn’t to be as low scores were the common theme across the round as results went as predicted.

THE match that had the most at stake was the Imperials vs Yarram & District game due to both clubs needing to win to give themselves a finals chance.

Imperials skipper Ryan Morley won the toss and batted on a fairly dead wicket with bowlers needing to work hard to extract anything from it while batsmen had to work equally hard to grind out runs.

The new ball came on nicely for Morley though as he opened the batting and made a good 38 before Daniel O’Keefe dismissed him.

Morley was the only Imperials batsman in the top six to crack double figures and with the score on 6/86 the Pelicans were eyeing off an easy bonus point, but enter Joel Randall, the left-handed enigma who’s unconventional batting style and shots are incredibly hard to plan for.

Randall took it up to Yarram’s bowlers making 32 in the process.

This important score was crucial for Imperials chances as it took the score up to 114 before the team was finally dismissed in the 48th over for 136 with the tail wagging a little bit.

Yarram shared the wickets, but the best was by far Kelly Griffiths who claimed 3/27 from his 10 overs in a very good opening spell.

It would be a tricky score to chase for Yarram and coming up against the two highest wicket takers for the season in Ross Williams and Brad Sizeland the game was far from over at the innings break.

Brett Pedlow back in the side provided a solid batsman at one end while the other batsman were able to play shots at the other end.

Pedlow was stoic as he held the innings together for the Pelicans as he carried the bat until the score reached 7/126 when he was finally dismissed for a well made 57.

Another 20 runs would have put a heap of pressure on Yarram but with Ant Scott batting at eight, he made sure to get his team home and remain not out when the game was won in the 45th over.

Joel Randall was the best of the Imperials bowlers with 2/16 from his 10 overs which included five maidens while Sizeland was the other multiple wickettaker claiming 2/34.

This result now brings Yarram to within a point of fourth keeping their finals aspirations alive while Imperials only have two matches left in the season and would need to win both (vs Gormandale and Ex Students) to slip into the top four.

TDCA SCOREBOARD

Prediction: Imperials have nothing to lose, and will want to ruin finals hopes for Gormandale. Imperials with the home ground advantage will get over the line.

Glengarry v Toongabbie GLENGARRY, coming off a nine-wicket thrashing over Rovers last round, will be feeling confident going into Round 12.

This will be a battle for second spot on the ladder, which could prove crucial when finals time rolls around.

But after Toongabbie went down to Ex Students last week, losing by seven wickets, they will sure be hurting and will want redemption.

Glengarry fight until they end, as they bat very deep, and have plenty of fast and medium fast bowlers that can hit a spot in the likes of Cam Graham, Nat Freitag and Max Merton.

This will be a battle of the best and should prove to be a good game and matchup.

One to watch: Nat Freitag, the best at Glengarry with both bat and ball, is sure to put on a show.

Prediction: Glengarry will get over the line and hold their second spot on the ladder.

Ex Students v Yarram & District

BOTH Ex Students and Yarram and coming off wins from last round, so will be confident heading into this clash.

Yarram need this win, and the bonus point if they want to get into the top four.

But there is no doubt Ex Students are going to make it hell and will give them no opportunity to score runs.

However, captain Lee Stockdale, loves to hit the ball in the air for his first 20 runs, giving the opposition plenty of close chances.

They just have to ensure that they make it count and hold their catches.

Yarram’s Ant Scott currently sits third in the batting with 299 runs for the season, and an average of just over 40.

He will be looking to stand up to the spin attack of Ex Students and tear them apart with his aggressive batting style.

One to watch: Ant Scott against Ex Students’ spinners will be a good match up and could see sparks flying.

Prediction: Ex Students will want to keep their top position on the ladder, and will not give up until they win.

Vixens heading to the Valley

NETBALL

THE Melbourne Vixens are Gippsland-bound, set to descend on Traralgon for two pre-season hit outs against the Adelaide Thunderbirds this weekend.

The matches will be the fans’ first chance to see the Vixens in action ahead of the Suncorp Super Netball season, which begins with a Round 1 clash against the Queensland Firebirds on Sunday, March 27.

The first hit out will be played on Saturday, February 12 at 3.30pm, and the second will take place on Sunday, February 13 at 12pm, both at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium.

The Victorian Men’s League will play a curtain raiser ahead of Saturday’s match.

Netball Victoria will host the practice matches and coordinate community activities across the weekend and in schools throughout the school term with support from the state government and Latrobe City Council.

The blockbuster weekend will offer netball fans from across Gippsland opportunities to participate in netball clinics, umpiring and coaching courses, and give kids aged 5-10 years the chance to come and try the sport at a NetSetGO experience.

Melbourne Vixens head coach Simone McKinnis said her players are raring to go in the lead-up to the Suncorp Super Netball season.

“We’re excited to head to Traralgon and get out on court in front of our fans. These matches will be a great opportunity to build our connections on court, test our combinations and really challenge ourselves as a group ahead of Round 1,” she said.

Latrobe City Council Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said Gippsland was excited to host the pre-season event.

“It’s exciting to welcome Australia’s elite netballers to the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium for this event,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Our local community, particularly our younger residents, appreciate the opportunity to experience the game first-hand and be inspired by their favourite players.”

Traralgon thwarted in final

CRICKET GCL

By LIAM DURKIN

HOPES of back-to-back mens premierships in the Gippsland Cricket League for the Traralgon and District Cricket Association were thwarted on Sunday.

The Tornadoes were unable to take this seasons title after going down to Sale-Maffra in the final at Glengarry.

A strong performance with the bat saw the Sharks post 9/241 batting first after winning the toss.

The total proved to be enough, in what netted a fifth GCL flag in seven seasons for Sale-Maffra.

Sale-Maffra openers Adrian Burgiel and Rohan Blandford set a strong platform, combining for a partnership of 65 at the top.

Both players took the game on, with Burgiel cracking 39 from 31 balls and Blandford 45 off 56.

Runs continued to flow from Steve Spoljaric, who top scored for Sale-Maffra with a busy 51 off 65.

Handy contributions featured among the rest of the card, as Taylor Tatterson and Nathan Massey each made 24 and Ben Jones scored a run-a-ball 21.

Traralgon kept themselves in the contest by picking up wickets at semi-regular intervals throughout the 50 over allotment.

Anthony Scott ended with figures of 3/24 and captain Lee Stockdale took 3/28 from his 10 overs.

The pair then went out to open the batting for the Tornadoes in pursuit of the total.

Steaming in: Mitch Harris bowls for Traralgon and District in the Gippsland Cricket League men’s final against Sale-Maffra. photograph liam durkin A promising start by Traralgon saw Scott and Stockdale take the score to 30 before Shark spinner Isaac Love turned the game on its head.

After removing Stockdale, Love took the big wicket of Nat Freitag and then followed up by seeing the end of Scott, who looked set after scoring 30 from 28.

The Sharks first change bowlers then got stuck into the Traralgon middle order.

Al Jenkin did his best to stabilise the innings, but his dismissal for 42 saw the scoreboard reading 6/121.

From there, Sale-Maffra was able to close in on victory, as Traralgon, in trying to do the right thing so the run rate did not climb, continued to play their shots thus presenting opportunities for wickets.

In the finish, the Tornadoes were bowled out for 143 inside 40 overs.

Sale-Maffra captain Dylan Bolton completed a good day for his team, nabbing 5/14 from 7.3 overs.

The performance rounded out a remarkable rise for Sale-Maffra, who have gone from wooden spooner to premier in the space of 12 months.

Latrobe legend celebrates 400 games CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

LATROBE Cricket Club welcomed its latest member into esteemed company last weekend, with Peter Mooney whiting up to play his 400th game for the Sharks.

Fittingly, Mooney was able to bring up the milestone on his home turf at Maryvale Recreation Reserve, all the while leading the team out as captain.

His teammates ensured it was a milestone to remember, as Latrobe secured a seemingly unlikely victory over Newborough in C Grade.

Batting first, the Sharks were bowled out for just 93, but rose to the occasion for Mooney with the ball to see the Bulldogs dismissed for 67.

In a game where wickets were at a premium, the milestone man took a blinding catch to highlight the day.

Mooney joined fellow Latrobe legends Bernie Vizard, Bruce Dalgleish, Tim Cranwell and Steve Grover in the 400 Club.

The Sharks veteran first came to Latrobe in season 1990/91 following the disbandment of Morwell East Cricket Club.

Little was anyone to know it would be the start of a 400-game career.

Reflecting on the journey, Mooney said the people involved at Latrobe had made it an enjoyable place to play.

“It has been a great club to be at,” he said.

“Over the years I’ve met some fantastic people to play cricket with and still friends to this day, you run into them down the street and always have a chat to them, it is fantastic.”

Along the way there has been no shortage of team and individual success, with Mooney making a number of centuries to go with an enviable 10 premierships.

Playing as an opening batsman in his prime, Mooney, who described himself as a “hang-arounder”, has made more than 10,000 runs for Latrobe.

Milestone man: Peter Mooney played his 400th game for Latrobe Cricket Club last Saturday. photograph liam durkin “I’ve been lucky, I’ve played with some fantastic cricketers over the years,” he said.

“I’ll go back to my Morwell East days I played with Wayne Mills, Millsy was probably one of the fastest bowlers, Laurie Marks as well at Morwell East, then you come to Latrobe and Bernie Vizard, then you have the likes of Bloomy (Anthony Bloomfield), probably the best country bat in Gippsland for a long time.

“I’ve played with both my sons, Michael and Sam, which was always great.”

“I was lucky enough for my son to grow up with Peter Siddle, it was fantastic for Peter to go on and play Test cricket for Australia.

These days, Mooney is mentoring up and coming Sharks players in the lower grades, continuing his service to the club that has seen him take on roles such as president, vice president and secretary, a role he currently serves.

This service was recognised with the awarding of life membership last year - a moment Mooney looked back on with great fondness.

“Last year was a really big moment for me, they made me a life member of the cricket club, that made me prouder than anything to be part of this club,” he said.

“To be recognised, there is only 14 of us overall that are life members, it has been a great journey.

“We’ve been lucky, we’ve had good people who are prepared to put in the effort.

“We have good members, if we ask them to do something they are supportive, they’ll get in and do the work that needs to be done for the club, it will be all hands on deck.”

Looking back on funnier moments that help make up the fabric of any club, Mooney said there had been plenty of great nights at the Peter Siddle Oval social rooms.

“More off field there has been a lot of laughs and carry on, on the field the funniest things you probably see playing cricket are some of the catches people take,” he said.

“You see some and you just can’t believe how they get a hand to it and then you see other times and think ‘how the hell did he drop that?’ There are just moments, it is just how cricket is.”

With a few other players on the verge of joining the 400 gamers, Mooney said it was great so many players had been loyal to Latrobe.

“Very proud to be in the 400 Club, there is a few more behind to come and hopefully they get there as well,” he said.

“Not many clubs have people who have played 400 games of cricket, what that shows to me is people have been committed to the cricket club and continue to be.”

TRARALGON Parkrun reached a significant milestone on Saturday, notching up its 300th installation.

The Parkrun celebrated its triple century with a large turnout of patrons taking part.

Latrobe City councillor Dan Clancey, a faithful parkrunner himself, was on hand to help with the festivities.

WNBL action bounces into the Valley BASKETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

MORE elite basketball was welcomed to Traralgon on Sunday, with the Women’s National Basketball League making its way to the region.

Locals were treated to a thrilling match between the Melbourne Boomers and Perth Lynx, which went into overtime.

The two-top teams locked horns at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium, with Perth winning 76-71 to take the points back on the long flight home.

For the sole Perth supporter spotted, the result surely made the trip worthwhile.

Virtually nothing separated the teams throughout the match. Scores were level at half-time and only two points the difference at three-quarter time in favour of the Lynx.

Perth levelled the scores with 10 seconds remaining in the final term following a clutch three pointer from Alexandra Sharp to send the game into overtime.

Some strategic time outs were called thereafter, however neither side could gain an advantage.

Lynx established a buffer in overtime thanks to consecutive shot clock violations by the Boomers.

Despite the result, the Boomers, who have adopted Traralgon as a home-away-from-home, brought a great deal of profile to the area working under the banner of ‘Traralgon Takeover’.

A crowd of dignitaries heard from Traralgon local and former Boomer Desiree Glaubitz pre-match, who spoke about how far the WNBL had progressed since its formative years.

With the WNBL following the success of the recent NBL match in Traralgon, Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said it was great to know

“It is fantastic, I think what we are seeing from the number of people that are coming out to these games is that they really do enjoy it, particularly our local kids who get the opportunity to interact with elite sporting stars that they have been

watching from a distance for a really long time,” she said.

Cr O’Callaghan hoped the partnership between the Boomers and Latrobe would ensue.

“I think all of the partnerships we are building out of this kind of activity now is not just about the games, it is about the incidental support for

schools, sporting clubs, it’s all of the opportunities that we create,” she said.

“We have even seen from local businesses tonight providing the catering through to support for the event, activities that we undertake are always heavily engaged with local businesses, the local economy benefits when you have people coming down for the games they are staying here, they are going to hospitality venues, they are accessing a broad range of other things in the community and that creates a sustainable and longer term benefit.”

Cr O’Callaghan came dressed for the occasion, sporting a pair of purple shoes in line with the Boomers colours.

“I had to find something purple, so I thought if anything - we’ll go corporate but purple,” she said.

T-Birds fly into deciders after winning double BASKETBALL CBL

By LIAM DURKIN

TRARALGON senior men won through to the grand final of the Country Basketball League on Sunday.

The T-Birds won the right to play undefeated Warragul for the title following victory over Maffra in the semi-final.

It was a basketball extravaganza at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium, with the men’s game making up one-third of a triple header that was preceded by the women’s CBL and followed by the Women’s National Basketball League match between Melbourne Boomers and Perth Lynx.

Local players were treated to even more of the usual perks that go with playing finals, as they got to strut their stuff on a fully decked out court that had been meticulously prepared for the WNBL. The air of excitement was evident as commercially repeated pop music blared from speakers during the warm-up and players of both teams were introduced, before all in the stadium stood solemnly while the national anthem played, adding to the build-up and the unexpectedness of what the next hour or so had in store.

Appropriately, the unofficial national anthem of Thunderstruck by AC/DC was heard as players went through their final preparations, signalling it was time for tip-off.

With the stage set, players got into their positions with a place in the grand final at stake.

The hype of finals wore off virtually as soon as the ball was thrown up, with players appearing to not be overawed by the occasion.

From there it was business as usual and the match had the makings of a regular season game in the early stages, as blows were traded at either end.

Maffra playing coach James Whelan was busy early, setting up a number of offensive plays.

It was quite a sight to see Whelan go from playing on court to coaching on the sidelines, with his transformation from coach to player at times almost Superman-like when he took off his Eagles shirt unveiling a Maffra singlet underneath once he was injected back into the game.

Traralgon’s Zac Bezzina provided a highlight in the first half with a classy freeze fake, in what saw Maffra take a 34-38 lead into the main break.

The T-Birds broke the game open in the third piling on 30 points to 16.

Maffra was unable to recover from this onslaught, with the final scoreboard reading 89-69.

Traralgon capitalised on its dominance and blew the margin out as the fourth term continued, all

COUNTRY BASKETBALL LEAGUE GRAND FINALS

Saturday, February 12 at Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium MEN Warragul Warriors v Traralgon T-Birds, 8pm WOMEN Traralgon T-Birds vs Wonthaggi Coasters, 5.30pm

Great game: Samantha Labros led the scoring for Traralgon in the semi-final win over Moe. the while getting time into its fresh legs once the result was put beyond doubt.

The final buzzer was met with subdued celebrations from the T-Birds, who will know only part of the job is completed.

Ever the professional, Traralgon forward Mason Porykali, who had missed a free throw late in the match, was seen out on the court practising his free throws after the game.

Sam Whelan did his best to keep Maffra in the contest, shooting 26 points, along with Coby Burgiel, who netted 14.

Ben Barlow led the scoring for the victors with 24, while Frazar Brouns shot 20 against his former team.

Brouns and Eagle counterpart Byron Sandeman shared a laugh in the third quarter after some confusion surrounding a decision saw Brouns cheekily signal for the third umpire ala cricket.

Eyes on the prize: Traralgon’s Ben Barlow gets set to complete a lay-up during the semi-final against Maffra. photographs liam durkin Traralgon head coach Reece Hamriding was full of praise for his team post-match.

“First half I think both teams were trying to find their feet, Maffra came out really red hot,” he said.

“The second half, third quarter especially, we nailed it down on defence and got the job done.

“The message at half-time was just about buying in, being about each other, being one unit.

“It was a team approach to get this win.

“We’ll enjoy success where we can but the boys are pretty locked in on the next one.”

With their ticket to the big dance booked, the T-Birds will be pitted against a Warragul team that has swept all before them so far this season.

Although they will enter the grand final as underdogs, Traralgon will carry a home court advantage.

The two teams met only a fortnight ago, with the margin just four points in the Warriors favour.

Hamriding, who is coaching in a CBL grand final

for the first time, said the team would enter the decider with a lot of belief.

“We’re just going to come and play our game.

Whatever happened in the regular season happened, finals is a whole new ball game, you start at zero-zero in a grand final, there is only one winner,” he said.

“We had our chances (the last time we played them) and just didn’t execute unfortunately - 12 missed free throws played a part - but other than that I thought we had them most of the game.”

Warraugl was too strong for Moe in the other semi-final, winning 92-70.

An upset was brewing at three quarter time with the Meteors just three points adrift, however, the Warriors snuffed any chances of this happening with a 29 to 10 last term.

Jayden Van Dyk shot 18 points for Moe. The T-Birds will also be in action in the women’s final, and will take on Wonthaggi for the premiership.

Traralgon got past Moe in the semi, winning 63-52.

The women’s match followed a similar script to the men, with Traralgon needing to come from behind at half time.

The Meteors lead by four points at the main break, but a 21 to 13 third term meant it was advantage T-Birds.

Samantha Labros shot 15 points for the winners.

Caitlin Demczuk shot 14 for Moe.
