DAN DROPS BY

VICTORIAN Premier Daniel Andrews made a surprise visit to the Latrobe Valley last week for the opening of the Morwell Trade Skills Centre (MTSC) at TAFE Gippsland.

Mr Andrews and Training and Skills Minister Gayle Tierney officially opened the $35.5 million campus redevelopment at the Morwell Campus on Friday morning in front of a gathering of

TAFE Gippsland staff and students, Latrobe City Council members and other community leaders.

The new facility promises to cater for 50 per cent more students in plumbing, electrical, electro technology, instrumentation and control, animal care and horticulture.

As the Latrobe Valley’s workforce transitions away from traditional power stations, Mr Andrews said the

MTSC, and the training it offers will be “critical”.

He said that workers who currently hold positions at these power stations may be able to use TAFE Gippsland for additional training that will lead to more work opportunities, some of which he suggested will be in the renewable energy sector.

“I think a lot of us are becoming more and more convinced every day that they

(power stations) might not be around for as long as they said they would be,” he said.

“Now that’s a practical fact, that can’t be changed. So you have to do everything you can to be ready for that.”

Mr Andrews also encouraged Victorian parents to view TAFE as an equal pathway to university for their children.

Jobs fair attracts attention THE Latrobe Valley Jobs Fair was held last Thursday at Morwell’s Kernot Hall.

Many people from all over Gippsland attended the event, on the hunt for a job that suits them.

Local businesses and authorities had stalls set up.

Their booths were overflowing with informative pamphlets and other information about job opportunities.

Members from each workplace manned the stands, ready to meet prospective candidates and have a chat about what sorts of jobs they had on offer.

Outside Kernot Hall, the Bing51 Coffee van was caffeinating attendees, and the Rotary Club of Morwell were putting on a sausage sizzle.

Inside, one big room housed all the stall holders, while smaller rooms held seminars and resume workshops.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the event was a welcome boost for jobseekers after the challenges Gippsland has been through over the last few years.

“Parts of the Gippsland economy, including construction, meat processing, IT, aged care and disability services, are finding it hard to obtain suitably skilled local staff,” Mr Chester said.

“Some areas of the resources sector are in decline, but we expect that several planned solar, wind and hydrogen energy projects will create large-scale labour demands, so there are plenty of opportunities.”

Those managing the Latrobe Health Services’ stall, Nicole Krawczyk and Bailey Lay, said the fair was a good opportunity to look for people to fill available positions in their organisation.

They encouraged people to apply for their wide range of positions up for grabs.

“We are open to anyone that meets our values,” Ms Krawczyk said.

“And people that have a growth mindset,” Mr Lay added.

A number of government agencies were on the hunt for candidates, as well as businesses like McDonald’s and support services like CoAbility Support Coordination.

Latrobe City Council had a stall set up, as did TAFE Gippsland.

TENSIONS are rising between Morwell volunteer firefighters and Fire Rescue Victoria as the local CFA is doubling down on its refusal to budge from its McDonald Street premises.

It comes as volunteers are being forced to move and co-locate as tenants of FRV at a soon-to-be completed Morwell Fire Station on Princes Drive.

But Morwell CFA captain Peter Keenan said co-locating would compromise how the brigade could develop its volunteers and grow as a brigade.

Cpt Keenan said volunteers will be “squashed into a corner” in the new fire station, with only one engine bay and one tanker.

“We are not going,” Cpt Keenan said.

“The CFA and the government will work together to see if something can be worked out in our favour.

But at the moment it’s a stalemate. It’s sad it’s got to this stage.”

The issue had been going on for several years after FRV had taken over the McDonald Street station, which was formerly owned by the CFA. Cpt Keenan said volunteers felt they were “walking on eggshells” as tenants in the shared space.

“We possibly only have months with the new station nearly finished, but we are refusing to go.

If we co-locate into the new station we will have nowhere to expand,” he said.

“We’d like the CFA to buy the McDonald Street site, then we wouldn’t have to move.”

The issue was discussed in state parliament last

week, when both Member for Morwell Russell Northe and Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath raised it in question time.

Mr Northe said separate fire stations were being allocated for both FRV firefighters and CFA volunteers in Moe, but not in Morwell.

“There are appears to be no logic or rationale as to why just 10 minutes up the road in Moe, approval has been granted to operate fire services out of separate locations for FRV firefighters and CFA volunteers, yet in Morwell it is not,” he said.

“I just cannot understand why Morwell Fire Brigade volunteers are been denied their choice to remain in their current location and I am calling upon the Minister responsible and the government to step in and resolve this issue.”

Ms Bath called on Emergency Services Minister Jaclyn Symes to meet with Morwell CFA volunteers and “respect their needs”.

“Morwell volunteers have offered a number of scenarios, which allow the brigade to maintain its independence and continue to serve our community,” Ms Bath said.

“The Minister must listen and not callously dismiss over one hundred years of service.”

Ms Symes said she was encouraging parties to “stay at the table and keep talking” in her response to Ms Bath in parliament.

“I understand that the issues are being worked through with the agencies,” Ms Symes said.

“Both FRV and CFA have raised this matter with me, and they continue to work together and will work with the volunteers.”

Clancey will not be a state candidate

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LATROBE City’s Deputy Mayor has said he will not be running as an independent in the upcoming state election.

At the latest council meeting on Monday, March 7, Cr Dan Clancey announced he had a declaration to make.

“With rumour and innuendo circulating around more frequently than it does usually, and with the rate that it’s starting to impact my work as a Councillor, I thought it was time to make a declaration that I am not a member of a political party, and I do not have any intention of becoming a candidate at the next state election,” he said.

“Whilst my interest in serving this community is

at the highest level, my commitment to my work as a Councillor and to the role of Deputy Mayor that I’m currently under is unwavering - I do not seek any other office to do this work from.”

Under the Latrobe City Councillor Code of Conduct, a Councillor who is intending on standing for a State or Federal Election must declare it.

Cr Clancey said his declaration is “one of clarity”.

As he said he wants to make sure his work in the council, and his decisions as part of the council are not questioned as anything other than for the community of Latrobe City.

Mr Clancey is the former Mayor of Latrobe City, and served in the position in 2019.

He has been a member of the council since 2016, and was voted in as Deputy Mayor late last year.

A NEW system to monitor Latrobe Valley’s lead levels was discussed at Latrobe City Council’s (LCC) monthly meeting on Monday, March 7.

Since the approval of the Used Lead and Acid Battery (ULAB) recycling facility in Hazelwood North, many members of the community have voiced concerns about airborne and soil lead levels increasing.

LCC previously refused the planning application for the facility in September 2020, but it was later approved by the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne.

The issue of a lead monitoring system in Latrobe City was originally discussed at a council meeting back in May 2021, when the council requested a report exploring the available options from Monarc Environmental, an environmental consultant.

Since then, they have received a quote totalling $12,000 for Monarc to undertake recommended works and forming a report on the area.

The proposed resolution to the issue at Monday’s meeting was that it be delegated to Latrobe City’s chief executive officer Steven Piasente, to have Monarc Environmental undertake further work in regards to options for an air and soil monitoring system in the area, and request a further report be presented to the council.

Cr Sharon Gibson put forward an alternate motion during the meeting, in which she made several suggestions.

The alternate motion suggested that council seek the assistance of the EPA to undertake testing in the area outside the location of the facilities approved location.

It also requested that assessments be made to ascertain baseline lead levels and other metals in the soil and an ongoing commitment be made for soil assessments.

Additionally, the motion state that council would continue to advocate to the Valley’s Health Advocate, the Planning Minister and the Minister for funding to enable the EPA to undertake air monitoring that is public available in real time. The motion also requested that the EPA engage with the community in regards to the testing.

“This is all about putting it back to the authorities as to what can be put in place to allay people’s fears,” Cr Gibson said.

“This alternate motion is asking the assistance of the EPA to undertake testing in the general area “We also want an urgent assessment of what is there now, because if you do not have a baseline, how can you tell if there’s been any effect? You can’t do it,” she said.

This alternate motion was carried unanimously, with Cr Graeme Middlemiss commenting on the probable cost of a monitoring machine.

“It appears that the cost of a machine to do real time monitoring... is somewhere in the region of $200,000, which is a little bit concerning for whoever’s got to pay for it,” he said.

Despite the costs, Mr Middlemiss was supportive of the alternate motion.

Morwell RSL to celebrate a century of fine service

Big turn out: Members from Ambulance Victoria, Victoria Police, Fire Rescue Victoria, the Country Fire Authority, the SES and Latrobe City Council celebrated International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day

LOCAL Emergency Services personnel celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) on Tuesday, March 8.

Members from Ambulance Victoria, Victoria Police, Fire Rescue Victoria, Country Fire Authority and the State Emergency Service (SES) organised the event in collaboration with Latrobe City Council.

Attendees enjoyed a morning tea together at Morwell Bowling Club and listened to three guest speakers, Latrobe City Councillor Tracie Lund, Victoria Police’s Paul Huggett, and Ambulance Victoria’s Jennifer Hume.

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day was #BreakTheBias, encouraging people to work towards a world free of bias, stereotypes, inequality and discrimination.

While working in male dominated professions, women in emergency services have fought for equality for many years.

The event recognised and celebrated the contributions of women working in Gippsland’s emergency services.

Cr Lund attended the event and addressed the importance of observing IWD with an inspiring speech.

“International Women’s Day has become a time to reflect on progress, to call for change, and to celebrate the courage and determination of women who have changed history,” she said.

“Today’s event is also an opportunity to unite, connect, work together and create meaningful change.”

Cr Lund highlighted the theme of IWD 2022, #BreakTheBias.

“Bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead, together we can support this theme by calling out gender bias, discrimination and stereotyping when we see it,” she said.

“Every action, no matter how small, contributes to a collective impact.”

Awareness: Jennifer Hume talked about her experience with Ovarian Cancer.

Inspector Paul Huggett, of Victoria Police, took a moment to thank the many women who are doing important work in the community, reading out the names of some of the women doing wonderful work in the region.

He reflected on the growth of his organisation during this career, and said Victoria Police are “evolving as an organisation and our inclusiveness is growing.”

Ovarian Cancer survivor Jennifer Hume provided insight into her journey with the disease.

She also encouraged people to support Ovarian Cancer Australia this IWD, to promote more research and support for those touched by the illness.

“It’s really a time to make progress in this space, and the need to actually support women with this disease and fund and find cures that can save lives,” she said.

Ms Hume warned attendees about Ovarian Cancer, and its signs and symptoms. Many of which are things that some people just ignore, this was as case for Ms Hume.

“It’s really hard to detect Ovarian Cancer,” she said.

“The delay in my diagnosis was ‘I’m busy’, ‘I’ve got a lot on my plate’... as women we are juggling lots of things. We’ve got lots of responsibilities, we’re operating on low grade, or sometimes even high grade stress.”

She said women often make deals with themselves when they feel unwell, telling themselves they will just go to sleep earlier, take more multivitamins, or eat better.

MORWELL RSL will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary this Saturday from 5.30pm.

The Morwell sub-branch was originally chartered on January 1, 1922.

However the first mention of the branch forming was in the Morwell Advertiser in May 1919 where therewas an advertisement for a meeting about forming a branch.

Seventeen people attended the first meeting, and hence the Morwell RSL sub-branch was created.

This weekend’s celebratory Centenary Dinner will have guests hear from many people, including guest speaker Graham Burgess.

Mr Burgess will speak about the Morwell RSL’s history.

Mr Burgess is a life member of the RSL, and is currently working on a project compiling the records of men and women from the Morwell Shire who enlisted in WWI. He served in Vietnam, where he prepared maps for troops on combat operations.

State RSL president Dr Robert Webster will also be in attendance and will present the RSL with it’s 100 year certificate.

The evening will be opened by RSL treasurer and Master of Ceremonies Bill Hall and president Wayne Hutchinson.

Guests will enjoy a main course and desert, and a showing of a slide show presentation featuring Morwell RSL’s history and past and present RSL members.

About 135 members of the RSL will be in attendance.

Mr Hutchinson said its a “privilege” to be the president of the RSL at this time in its history, and credited the work of those that came before him to is continued success.

“It’s a big job, there’s a lot of work, and a lot has gone into it before me,” he said.

Premier opens new trade centre Continued from page 1

“I want every single parent across the state to view vocational education and training, competency based education and training on an equal footing to a university pathway,” he said.

“Because you know what? Jobs are coming out of places like this. The careers and the good wages are coming out of places like this.

“University is important, that’s a legitimate pathway for many. But, the evidence is very clear – this is where the jobs are coming from, these sorts of skills.”

The MTSC features specialist workshops and skills bays, plumbing and electrical lab facilities and general-purpose classrooms.

The construction of the facility also created 507 jobs, including work for 20 apprentices, trainees and cadets.

According to the state government, TAFE Gippsland experienced a more than 28 per cent increase in enrolments for students looking to study at MTSC. Mr Andrews specifically thanked the work of these tradespeople.

“Thanks to everyone involved in delivering this project, and most especially thanks to everyone who physically and literally built this building,” he said.

Ms Tierney said the project was able to blend what industry wanted and what community wanted.

“You have got state of the art technology, you have space so that we can have real, genuine interaction between the trades for the first time,” she said.

“It means that our staff can communicate and build innovation amongst themselves and to the wider community “We already know that apprenticeships have increased by 23 per cent since 2019, and we know that kids are getting the opportunity to take on a trade – but not only just take on a trade, they’ll be assured of a job and they will be guaranteed a career.”

Ms Tierney agreed with Mr Andrew’s outlook on TAFE, and said a cultural change is needed in regards to the way people regard TAFE. “It’s just as good as a university education – I honestly believe that – and I think that we will

Skills: Premier Daniel Andrews talks to TAFE Gippsland students. absolutely be able to demonstrate that with the investment that we continue to make in the TAFE sector,” she said.

Also present at Friday’s opening was Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing.

“This is a project worth celebrating,” she said.

“These world-class facilities are a key part of our long-term transition and development to give more Gippslanders the benefit of record funding in TAFE, training, and pathways to the jobs they want, closer to home.”

The state government said it invested $35.5 million for the project in the Victorian Budget 2018-2019, with investments in TAFE Gippsland facilities at Warragul and Sale in addition to Morwell.

Labor yet to pre-select candidate for Morwell

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

WITH the state election set to be held in November this year, Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed that Labor has not yet pre-selected a candidate for the seat of Morwell.

During Mr Andrews’ visit to Morwell last Friday, he was questioned about the upcoming election and whether a pre-selection had occurred for Morwell.

“We haven’t had a process to pre-select a candidate yet, we will soon,” he said.

“I’m very confident that it will be an outstanding candidate, just like Harriet (Shing), someone who can be a champion – if they’re supported by the local community.

“It’s up to the people of Morwell whether they want a voice in government or not – or if they want a Labor voice – I’d obviously encourage them to support a Labor candidate,” Mr Andrews said.

The Premier said the Labor Party wants to make more investments like the Morwell Trade Skills Centre.

“We want to make sure that everyone’s kids and grandkids have good, high-skilled jobs,” he said.

“We want to make sure that this is an area that is proud and strong and confident about the future ... a region that knows the government is on their side and working really hard for them.’’

Captain Australia is on a special journey

By STEFAN BRADLEY

CAPTAIN Australia’s not-so secret identity is Simon Harvey, a cancer survivor who has now walked for more than 80 days as part of ‘Captain Australia’s Big Walk’ to raise money for a good cause.

“Dressed as the boofhead superhero Captain Australia, I am superheroing up for science to help a charity called The Kids’ Cancer Project,” Mr Harvey said.

“I started from King George Square in Brisbane on Boxing Day, and will end at Federation Square in Melbourne.”

When Mr Harvey spoke to The Express last week, he had only taken three rest days during his odyssey.

“I got injured in Coffs Harbour, so I needed to rest up to heal a foot injury, and another day I had to rest up because of a tickle in my throat, and I took time off to go out on the ocean in Mallacoota, which was lovely,” Mr Harvey said.

“The soles of my feet are in daily pain at the moment. I was really good until about day 65, and I’m carrying this pack which is about 20 to 30kg when I’m fully stocked on water, so I’ve probably done some permanent damage to my feet to be honest.

“But I’m so close to the finish line, I’m going to knuckle down and power through.”

Mr Harvey’s motivation for the Big Walk was his inability to get past the ramifications of his own cancer.

“It was Stage 4 and I was given six months to live. It was head and neck cancer, and I beat it. But it wrecked me spiritually, mentally, emotionally,” he said.

“I have three young children, I wasn’t thriving and I wasn’t bouncing back, so I wrapped a lot of hope around the fact that if I took a pilgrimage, I could heal myself.

“And it’s absolutely worked - one hundred per cent.”

Mr Harvey said it was two days before the start of his Big Walk that he finally received the news that he was all clear, on Christmas Eve. “Previously, when I was cancer free I knew there was a chance it would come back,” he said.

“But this time, the doctor said I was cured and told me to get out of the hospital, as they didn’t need to see me anymore.”

“That was wonderful, and then the next day I spent Christmas with my family and the next day I went out on the Big Walk.”

Mr Harvey said his favourite place he’s been to on his Big Walk so far was Orbost.

“I’ve had a lot of varied experiences on this walk, I’ve gone through some full-on forests, but in Orbost they had SES vehicle, a fire truck and a police escort, and there were all these school kids and it was like I was leading a parade and people were waving flags and yelling ‘yay, Captain Australia!’

Legend: Captain Australia stopped by Morwell on his way to Melbourne. photographs alyssa

fritzlaff

at me. It was surreal and I’ll carry that memory until the day I die.”

Mr Harvey said he was planning to finish his journey at Federation Square in Melbourne on Saturday, March 19.

“I’m going to stage it so at 10am I’m at Alexandra Gardens, and anyone who wants to join in can cross the bridge with me to Federation Square, so I hope to see people there, maybe dress up as superheroes,” he said.

“Once I get home, I’ve got to kiss my wife and hug my children again. At that point it will be 84 days I’ve been living day-to-day, so at that point I have to figure out what the rest of my life looks like after incorporating everything I’ve learnt from my walk.

“I hid my cancer from my children until I knew or not whether I was going to survive, because I didn’t want to inflict grief on them if I didn’t need to, and I think that meant by withholding those emotions, I internalised them, and then I carried them, so that was the problem, so I created a constipation of pain, if that makes sense.

“So then when I was walking in the first week, I’d be walking down the beach and just be sobbing like a child, and what I was doing was releasing a lot of that grief and that pain that I had failed to process.”

“Right now, I am stronger in every way that matters as a human being.”

Click goes the shaver: Ron D’Arcy had his beard shaved off last week to raise funds for A Kinder Cup Cafe. photographs alyssa fritzlaff

Beard goes for top cause

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

LOCAL man Ron D’Arcy shaved off his beard last Thursday to raise funds for A Kinder Cup Café.

The initiative, ‘Shave for Social Enterprise’ is a collaboration between CoAbility Support Coordination, Play it Forward and Morwell Neighbourhood House (MNH).

The fundraiser was started to raise funds and awareness for MNH’s A Kinder Cup Café.

A Kinder Cup supports the important community work completed by MNH, which is often reliant on donations and government grants.

It doubles as a café and a location for initiatives such as MNH’s The People’s Kitchen, which supplies those struggling with food insecurity with nutritious meals.

A Kinder Cup also provides employment and training opportunities for community members.

Mr D’Arcy is the Community Program Development Coordinator at CoAbility, and had spent two growing his impressive beard.

However, he was willing to part with it for a good cause.

Surrounded his supporters, Mr D’Arcy had his beard shaved with the assistance of Traralgon business, Handsome Dan’s Barber Shop.

He began growing his beard for a part in a production with Sale Theatre Company, and decided to keep it after.

His goal was to raise at least $1000.

As of Thursday, the total funds raised had reached $1915.

Mr D’Arcy explained the unexpected way the fundraiser began.

“It was actually a joint idea with Play it Forward.

We were talking about my beard and were just saying in conversation that it would be funny if we shaved it off as a fundraiser,” he said.

“We were talking with Tracie about these guys needing some support ... and that was about four or five weeks ago.”

When it came to delegating the task of shaving off the beard, there was an obvious choice.

Mr D’Arcy had been going to Handsome Dan’s Barber Shop in Traralgon for beard care over the last few years - so it was only fitting that they attended its farewell.

“I approached Dan ... and I just said ‘do you want a crack at it’, and not only did he agree to do it for free but he donated as well,” Mr D’Arcy said.

Daniel Osborne, from Handsome Dan’s Barber Shop was happy to be a part of the fundraiser.

“Ron is one of our regulars ... we’ve been growing that beard for quite a while and we just decided to help him get rid of it,” he said.

“We were very happy to jump in and help out.”

The beard-shaving was supported by the ‘Yes I Can’ community choir, who are regular customers at A Kinder Cup and are the product of a partnership between CoAbility and Play It Forward.

Mr D’Arcy said Traralgon Lions Club and Traralgon Lions Club Farmers Market have also provided support.

MNH manager Tracie Lund was very grateful for Mr D’Arcy and his supporters.

“To have a community advocate like Ron promoting our work and making a personal sacrifice like shaving off his beard in such as public way, to broaden the conversation about social enterprise and how important they are and the work that we do at A Kinder Cup and Morwell Neighbourhood house is priceless,” she said.

While some people came to the café itself, the beard shaving was also livestreamed on MNH’s Facebook page, allowing many people to show their support online.

“It’s really heart-warming to see, not only the support that we had in the café, but the support we had online through the livestream,” Ms Lund said.

“People were really wanting to get behind Ron and were motivated by the cause ... and we can’t do what we do without people like Ron in our community.”

Greens plan gives local communities control over their future.”

The plan would be funded by taxing Australian billionaires and big coal and gas corporations.

The job-for-job guarantee package will provide 50 per cent of a coal worker’s wage for a decade, provided as a wage subsidy to employers who provide an equivalent paying job.

Workers over 55 would receive the wage subsidy for up to 12 years as they transitioned to retirement.

Workers who cannot find alternative work could receive the subsidy directly.

Other aspects would be to create five local authorities in coal regions, including extending the LVA, overseen by a National Coal Communities Commission.

The financial support package to transition coal workers is based on similar strategies in Germany, which phased out coal while supporting workers.

Mr Bandt said there were “enormous opportunities” in developing critical minerals and green metal processing.

“In many places around the country the best job for a coal worker is another mining job, and the Greens’ plan will help make that a reality,” he said.

“We owe coal workers a debt of thanks for powering our country. We don’t need to choose between taking urgent climate action and supporting coal communities. We can do both.”

THE Australian Greens would ensure coal workers would be financially supported for a decade with a job-for-job guarantee and wage subsidies to help move into new industries beyond coal.

Greens leader Adam Bandt unveiled a new $19 billion plan in Newcastle, which included a financial boost for the Latrobe Valley Authority.

The package would help support new industries such as renewables, minerals mining and green manufacturing, and help workers to either retrain, or take an early retirement.

The Greens’ plan is based on exiting thermal coal by 2030, but would extend the timetable phasingout metallurgical coal until 2040 to help transition to green steel and other products.

Mr Bandt said change was happening quickly “but there’s no plan for coal workers”.

He said governments were leaving workers exposed as coal closures were being brought forward, stating that Australia was “sleepwalking into the closure of the coal industry”.

“Australia doesn’t need to shut down the mining industry, we’ve just got to get out of coal.

The Greens’ plan secures new jobs for coal workers, including in mining and energy, without loss of pay,” Mr Bandt said.

“We can’t have a devastating repeat of the collapse of our car manufacturing industry.

LOCAL businesses and community groups can apply for funding to assist Gippsland as it recovers from the impacts of the coronavirus.

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the Rebuilding Regional Communities Program is providing funding for community-led initiatives to assist with recovery.

“Gippslanders have faced many challenges over the last few years with the combined impacts of drought, bushfires and the coronavirus and this will provide a much-needed boost to communities,” Mr Chester said.

“Grants are designed to support communities in bouncing back by strengthening social connections, supporting jobs and creating economic opportunities.

Mr Chester said groups could apply for two different streams of funding.

“The Micro Projects stream will provide grants of up to $10,000 for regional communities with fewer than 50,000 people to help sustain local organisations and their work,” Mr Chester said.

“The COVID Recovery stream will provide grants of up to $50,000 for larger projects that will enhance the recovery of communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal will administer the funding program.

Migrants and refugees share hopes for ‘greener pastures’ in Gippsland

12 George Street, Morwell or give us a call on (03) 5133 9088 Authorised by Russell Northe, 12-14 George Street, Morwell VIC 3840.

Funded by Parliament’s Electorate Office and Communication Budget.

A MOVING film that documents the lived experience of migrants and refugees who live in Gippsland will be launched during Cultural Diversity Week 2022.

With funding from the state government, Latrobe Community Health Service has partnered with production company StoryIsConnection to produce Greener Pastures, a short film that touches on the trauma, hope, courage and resilience of Gippsland’s multicultural community.

“A new life in other country, it’s like… it’s for greener pastures,” Isabelita Garcia, one of the film’s participants, said.

Renowned arts director Catherine Simmonds produced Greener Pastures through engagement with migrants and refugees who attend multicultural friendship groups in Wonthaggi and Warragul.

Those featured in the film courageously share their stories of settlement in Gippsland.

“I have worked for 30 years with migrant and refugee communities, and I never tire of their stories,” Ms Simmonds said.

“I continue to learn through the lens of their experience. Cities challenge migrant and refugee people’s sense of belonging, yet rural areas reveal a different set of challenges and realisations as the people in our film come to terms with the realities and new sense of self.”

LCHS will launch the film during Cultural Diversity Week with four film screenings at Gippsland’s premier performing arts centres.

Attendees will enjoy a cinematic experience, and have the opportunity to hear from those who feature in the film during a panel discussion led by the director.

LCHS multicultural strategic engagement

EVENT DETAILS Greener Pastures – a film screening and panel discussion Time: 6.30pm-8pm Details: Doors open at 6pm for a 6.30pm screening. Panel discussion and networking will follow, with an 8pm finish.

Location and dates: West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul – Tuesday, March 22; Gippsland Performing Arts Centre,Traralgon – Wednesday, March 23; The Wedge, Sale – Thursday, March 24; Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre, Wonthaggi – Friday, March 25.

co-ordinator Farhat Firdous encouraged the broader community to attend, to gain new perspectives and a greater understanding of the experiences of migrants and refugees.

“After viewing the film, a friend said to me they have a greater appreciation for the power of hello,” Ms Firdous said.

“It is such a simple gesture, but we often take these things for granted. A small smile and quick hello can change a migrant or refugee’s perspective about how they’re being received in their new community.

“We hope this film creates the space for more courageous conversations. Everyone can learn something from Greener Pastures; we encourage you to come along to an event near you and show your support for our migrant and refugee community.”

Helpers program expands SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council has joined Latrobe City Council and Wellington Shire Council in supporting people having difficulty accessing their vaccination certificate or linking it to the Services Victoria app.

Gippsland Primary Health Network is funding the Vaccine Helpers program to assist community members who may be having difficulty with the process.

People have been reaching out for assistance in Latrobe City since November 2021 with library staff receiving feedback from grateful community members including letters, flowers and even chocolates.

South Gippsland launched its service late last

month at a meeting of the Active Retirees Activity Group with all 21 attendees taking up the offer of assistance.

Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the response since the program started over four months ago was positive with community members appreciating the assistance.

“It is wonderful to get the feedback from community around this service and these great outcomes demonstrate its value to those people who struggle with technology,” Ms Proposch said.

In Latrobe, people can drop into one of the four libraries or the four leisure centres (Morwell, Traralgon, Moe and Churchill) and staff will help.

Honour for late soldier: Captain Ian Green of Morwell.

photograph supplied

Tribute to Captain Green THE Morwell RSL and the Morwell Historical Society will be holding a presentation next week on the life and service of Captain Ian Green.

Cpt Green was the first person from Morwell and Sale to lose his life in World War II, and was one of the 130 Australians killed during the Battle of Bardia.

The approximately 30 minute audio-visual presentation will be given by Lieutenant Colonel (R) Alistair Capp, military historian and great-nephew of Cpt Green.

He will also present a copy of Cpt’s Green biography, which he has written.

The presentation is free and open to the public and will be held in the Anzac Room at the Morwell RSL at 1.30pm on Thursday, March 24.

Cpt Green was born in Morwell in 1911 and attended the Morwell State School.

After school, he joined the militia and worked as a bank clerk in the National Bank in Melbourne and then transferred to Sale where he was working when he enlisted.

Morwell RSL president Wayne Hutchinson said when World War II broke out in September 1939, Ian Green enlisted the very next month.

He was promoted to Captain and posted to 2/7TH Battalion, a part of the 6TH Division, Second Australian Imperial Force.

This was a volunteer battalion, predominately from Victoria.

After initial training at Puckapunyal, Captain Green’s battalion sailed for the Middle East in April 1940.

In early January 1941 6TH Australian Division was ordered to capture the Italian garrison at Bardia, a coastal fortress in Libya.

The Battle of Bardia was the first British military operation of the Western Desert campaign and the first battle of the war for Australian troops.

Mr Hutchinson said the Battle of Bardia was a decisive victory for the Australian Army and was predominately led, planned and fought by Australians.

No bookings are required for the presentation.

Public will be required to scan the QR code on entry and show full vaccination status in accordance with the Victorian Department of Health requirements.

The Morwell RSL restaurant and bar facilities will be open before and after the audio-visual presentation.

Fresh faces are taking command

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

VICTORIA Police’s new Eastern Division Assistant Commissioner and Commander have begun their roles with a strong community focus.

Assistant Commissioner Tony Langdon and Commander Karen Nyholm were freshly appointed to their roles in late 2021.

They both bring a wealth of experience to their new positions.

Commissioner Langdon is the former Commander of the Southern Region and has worked in a number of policing fields, including the Armed Robbery and Homicide Squads.

He also was the Divisional Commander for the Surveillance Services Division.

Similarly, Commander Nyholm has a career spanning 29 years and has worked in major fraud investigations, in court prosecutions and coronial support.

The pair share a passion for policing and look forward to leading the Eastern Division in 2022.

The region has a total of 17 Police Service Areas, protecting almost two million people and overseeing 3000 police members stationed in the area.

In a region spanning across vastly different areas and diverse communities with varying needs, Assistant Commissioner Langdon said police having a connection with the community they serve is extremely important.

“We are nothing if we aren’t listening to community, as we are part of the community,” he said.

“For me, community connection - being part of the community - and being a positive influence in relation not only to helping respond to risk but also in leadership is one of the critical reasons why we are here.”

The Assistant Commissioner said the Eastern Division’s emergency service response is another priority this year.

He feels the region’s officers are well-prepared.

“I’m quite comfortable to say our members, especially down your area (Morwell) are extremely well versed in emergency responses and are extremely well connected to our pro-agencies in responding to this,” he said.

“In preparation for this summer, we went through a training phase and we go through an assurance program to say that Victoria Police is actually prepared for upcoming summer events “We are really well prepared in relation to that,

Plans: Victoria Police’s Eastern Region Commander Karen Nyholm and Eastern Region Assistant Commissioner Tony Langdon. and we are mainly well prepared because we are so well coordinated with our partner emergency management agencies and linked into community.”

Other areas of focus for the region’s leadership include road safety and family violence.

Commander Nyholm grew up in the Eastern Region and worked in Morwell at one point in her career.

She said that although the area has changed since her service, she possesses some extra understanding of the area’s challenges.

Latrobe Valley has high crime rates, and Commander Nyholm said a significant portion of this is driven by family violence. However, she explained that in some ways this is a good thing. It means that crimes of this nature are being reported, rather than flying under the radar.

“In Morwell, people have a connection – typically – to the police. When people are involved with the police, it’s more likely that they will then disclose further things to police,” she explained.

“A lot of those data sets in Moe, Morwell is also

family violence driven ... there’s not more family violence that happens in Shepparton, Moe, Morwell or Camberwell or Canterbury. There might be differences in the socio-economic background of people, but family violence doesn’t care for dollar.

“In a lower socio-economic areas they’re not as materialistic. Having a connection with the police provides an immediate opportunity to come forward ... the fact is, if we know it’s happening we are one step toward addressing it,” she said.

Proudly supporting

Diamond anniversary celebrated

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

PAM and John Guy are one of the best-known couples in Morwell, and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last month.

Mr Guy is a former mayor of Morwell.

He served for a total of three years with Mrs Guy by his side.

The couple did not meet in Morwell, they did not even meet in the state of Victoria.

Instead, their love story begins in Queenstown, Tasmania.

They first met when they were only young children, in a park in Queenstown at 12 years of age.

Later on, they began dating and got engaged in their early 20s.

During their courtship, one of their favourite things to do was to attend the Paragon Theatre in Queenstown every Saturday night.

“We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night, and we had the same seats,” Mr Guy said.

“E1 and E2,’’ Mrs Guy said.

Ballroom dancing was another one of the couple’s favourite activities.

They moved to Victoria chasing work opportunities after Mr Guy finished an apprenticeship.

Mr Guy settled in Morwell to work for the SEC in 1962, and Mrs Guy followed later that same year.

The pair married in Footscray on February 17, 1962.

There were about 50 guests in attendance, many of whom had travelled from Tasmania to celebrate with the newlyweds.

They now have two children, Peter and Heather, and five grandchildren - all boys ranging in age from 26 to 16.

“The pink knitting was to no avail,” Mrs Guy joked.

Their 60 years together have always been busy, caught up in a whirlwind of children, local government service and volunteering.

The couple said the keys to their success are support and communication.

“I think a big thing in marriage is communication,” Mrs Guy said.

Love: Pam and John Guy said communication was the key to their long-lasting marriage.

“You’ve got to sit down and talk about things, if you’ve had little disagreements or something, you’ve got to iron them out.”

Mr Guy agrees, and said he feels the secret to their long-lasting marriage is supporting each other.

In the 1990s, Mr Guy faced some health challenges and during this time Mrs Guy was his primary support.

“Pam has stood by me right through all those trials,” he said.

Mr Guy spent six years in local government, highlighted by his stint as mayor.

He said his wife was a big support during this time.

She worked full-time as well, and cared for their children during the week while Mr Guy ferried the children to their extra-curricular activities on weekends.

“John had a very busy public persona, he was the mayor of the City of Morwell for three years. That was a very busy time, but a very rewarding time,” Mrs Guy said.

“Pam supported me through all that as well, Pam was a lot better at mixing with people,” Mr Guy said.

“We met a lot of people, mates and friends, through local government - people that we are still very good friends with now.”

Mr Guy was eventually awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his service to the region, which he was nominated for by Mrs Guy. He had no idea she had nominated him, but once his letter arrived offering him the prestigious award she had to confess.

She is very proud of his achievements.

Later in life, Mr Guy has continued his work in the community, volunteering as a Justice of the Peace at Morwell Police Station, serving at Advance Morwell and the Latrobe Community Health Service board, where he served a chair for many years.

The couple are very involved members of the community, and love the place they live.

“Morwell’s been good to us, we’ve seen the good times and the not so good, but it will always be home to us,” Mrs Guy said.

Aries With the Full Moon lighting up

Libra The Full Moon illuminates your

Taurus Bulls can blunder around being

Scorpio p Friday’s Full Moon (in practical

(unintentionally) insensitive. This week you need to be extra responsive to the needs of children, teenagers and friends, otherwise Friday’s Full Moon could trigger a misunderstanding or an emotional meltdown. With Venus visiting your career zone, professional relationships are set to improve – as long as you don’t blurt out something inappropriate. The more flexible and understanding you are, the more quickly things will improve.

GGemini The Full Moon (in earthy Virgo)

falls in your home zone. So, this week, get your house in order and tackle domestic chores with extra Gemini gusto. But, if you spread gossip or jump to hasty conclusions, then you’ll end up in hot water. And avoid the temptation to take shortcuts. A slap-dash attitude will only mean you have to do everything twice. With a more methodical and practical approach, you can accomplish tasks and still have plenty of time to play.

Cancer This week the Full Moon lights up your conversation and social media zone. So, communicating with other people will be turbocharged (in person and online) and a close partnership should prosper. The Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune also bring good fortune in the form of an international friend, a wise mentor, an educational milestone or a travel opportunity. So crawl out of your Crab cave and get moving, mixing and mingling ASAP! Leo Regal Lions love to live in the lap of

luxury! Friday’s Full Moon fires up your finance zones and encourages your tendency to be hasty with cash and careless with credit. Then Saturday’s Venus/Uranus square also activates your impulsive, extravagant streak. Clever Cats will resist the temptation to blow the budget with a spontaneous spending spree. Big binge buys now will just lead to major money headaches later on, so slow down and try to shop prudently.

Virgo g Partnerships – of the romantic and

platoonic variety – are highlighted, as the planets activate your relationship zone. Friday’s Full Moon lights up your sign, so confidence and self-belief are the keys to satisfaction and success. Don’t let annoying disruptions and minor matters rattle you! If something unsettles you, be inspired by this month’s Piscean birthday great, Elizabeth Taylor: “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.”

solitude/self-knowledge zone and Venus is visiting your creativity zone. So spend some quality time on your own, where you can let your imagination percolate. Activities like reading, writing, painting, drawing, dancing, playing music, meditation and contemplation are favored as you make room for your inner world. Be inspired by fellow Libran, John Lennon: “Creativity is a gift. It doesn’t come through if the air is cluttered.”

Virgo) liights up your hopes-and-wishes zone, which signals it’s time to turn your abstract goals and dreams into something solid and tangible.

Then there’s a lovely link between the Sun and Pluto (your patron planet). So lucky opportunities are waiting for you – especially involving social media, education, creative projects and community connections. But you must find them and activate them, or they will just pass you by.

Sagittarius g Lady Luck smiles on

you, as long as you can keep your tendency to exaggerate under control. When it comes to work, the Full Moon’s in efficient, no-nonsense Virgo, so people don’t care how fabulous, funny and friendly you are. They just want to know that you can do your job promptly and competently.

With the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune transiting through your domestic zone, don’t neglect the needs of your home, your family and your inner life.

Capricorn Money matters should start to improve, as Venus moves through your finance zone (until April 5). The Sun and Pluto send a confidence boost your way (especially involving a personal project or a social media connection) and Friday’s Full Moon activates your aspirations zone. So be on the lookout for a lucky opportunity when it appears. It’s time to turn an abstract dream into a rock-solid reality!

If you hesitate or procrastinate then you’lll miss the boat.

Aquarius q You’re feeling lively as Venus,

Marrs and Saturn visit your sign. But don’t get side-tracked and lose sight of where you are heading. The earthy Virgo Full Moon encourages you to make plans and put them into practice with discipline and dedication. Be inspired by fellow Aquarian, Oprah Winfrey: “Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.” Saturday’s Venus/Uranus square could exacerbate a domestic drama so watch what you say!

Pisces The Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and

Neptune are all transiting through Pisces.

Which encourages intuitive insights, creativity and compassion … but also some confusion!

Friday’s Full Moon is in earthy Virgo, which will help you be more grounded, disciplined and discriminating. If you spend too much time in fantasy land, then you’ll miss early warning signals about a personal problem or a relationship issue you need to address. So keep your wits about you.

Half Price SENIORS MEALS EVERY MONDAY

Must present a valid seniors card at time of purchase

End of an era for Lyn LYN Madin has retired from her customer service role at Amcal’s Findlay and Weymouth Pharmacy after 50 years.

In her long career at the pharmacy, she said a lot has changed.

Born and bred in Traralgon, Ms Madin has lived in the Latrobe Valley her whole life.

When Ms Madin started working at the pharmacy in 1971 (then Grant’s Pharmacy) she was only 15 years old.

Back then she said female workers had to wear ‘micro’ mini dresses to work, and trousers were a big no, no.

Some years later, the store moved just up the street to 103 Seymour St, Traralgon, where the restaurant MOMO Traralgon is today.

Ms Madin said that during the move, she and other pharmacy staff had to load all the products into a trolley at the old store and trek up the street to unload them in the new one store until all the stock was transferred.

This is even true for the drugs stored in the

GP1637650

dispensary - a true testament to how times have changed.

“When the store opened it was the largest pharmacy in Australia,” Ms Madin said.

“Then we moved to where we are now, at 79 Seymour St ... we became even more upmarket and a special destination for a lot of women to by Estee Lauder and Chanel, that had previously been sold by Myer only.”

Ms Madin has made many lifelong friends and special connections with co-workers over the years.

She said she has been involved in many birthdays, engagements and weddings.

Ms Madin is also well known by customers, and is on a first-name basis with many of them.

She said she will mainly miss the people she has met during the past 50 years.

“I’m sure I will run into lots of these lovely people and hopefully they will day ‘hi’,” she said.

“My next stage is lots of family time, caravan trips and motorbike rides with all my wonderful friends.”

Collection period now open THE autumn firewood collection period is now open with designated firewood collection areas in Gippsland accessible to the public.

An increased amount of firewood is available this season after extensive clean-up and bushfire preparedness works conducted by Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) crews.

The autumn firewood collection period runs from March 1 to June 30, and there are 79 designated collection areas open to the public across the Gippsland region.

FFMVic Gippsland forest and fire planning manager Peter West said the extra volume would help meet the increasing demand.

“The bushfire preparation work that has been done in Gippsland means there is extra wood available, but it is still a finite resource,” he said.

“Collection limits include taking a maximum of two cubic metres per person per day and a maximum of 16 cubic metres per household per financial year.

“Collected wood is for personal use and must not be sold.

“The felling of trees and cutting of hollow logs for firewood is also prohibited. Hollow logs and dead trees provide critical habitat for a wide variety of native species.”

Planned burns could impact on firewood collection this autumn, with FFMVic likely to close-off some collection areas at short notice, especially in East Gippsland. Closures will be notified onsite.

You can also contact your local Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) office, call 1316 186 or go to https://plannedburns. ffm.vic.gov.au Under the Forest Act 1958, people who collect firewood outside designated firewood collection areas or a firewood collection season or take more than the maximum allowable amounts can face fines of $727, or a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment or a fine of up to $9087 or both, if the matter proceeded to court.

Blueberry ryy farm’s sweet award successs

By MICHELLE SLATER

A MOONDARRA blueberry farm has been recogn gnised n for tackling single-use plastics while producing top-shelf organic fruit.

Moondarra Blueberries won the Best Grown category in the Eat Easy responsible food awards for developing fully compostable packagi ging i and for growing grr certifi fied i organic fruit.

The East Easy judge described the product as “quite simply the best blueberries in the world. Outstanding packagi ging i and environmental awareness as well”.

Business manager Kate Prezioso said the small family-owned farm was eliminating plastics going into landfi fill i by developing a punnet that could be chucked into a backyard compost bin.

Ms Prezioso said the old single use PET plastic punnets met the farm’s organic certifi fication i requirements, but often ended up in landfi fill. i She said Moondarra Berries used to generate 2000 kilogr grams r of plastic within a single harv rvest v season, before it changed to the new sustainable packagi ging. i “It was important for the farm develop packagi ging i in line with our organic credentials,” Ms Prezioso said.

“We wanted something that could be fully-compostable and go back to the earth.

Greenwashing was not something we were interested in.”

Moondarra Blueberries was formed about 40 years ago and became an early adopter of organic practices in Australia, producing about 15-tonnes of berries a year.

The farm sells its products at organic shops, fruiterers, cafes, restaurants, cafes and farmers markets.

But Ms Prezioso said customers had already been asking for environmentally-friendly punnets and were willing to pay a bit more to lower their footprint.

She said they teamed-up with a New Zealand company that could make fullycompostable bio plastics from eucalyptus on a sugar cane base, which then created humus when it broke down.

“The company said they had a compostable product that they hadn’t used before as there was no demand for it,” Ms Prezioso said.

“Single use plastic is such a big problem and all of a sudden we found something that could work, this was brilliant. It was such a big deal to find fii this product.”

The farm is now trying to work with the same company to develop a freezer-friendly compostable container for its frozen berry range.

Ms Prezioso said she hoped for larger berry producers and supermarket giants gii to jump aboard the new packagi ging. i “We are only 0.1 per cent of the blueberry ind dusttry in Austtrallia, there are otther berry producers bigger than us, and we want to convince other growers grr to go down this route,” she said.

“If all of them did, then plastic would not go into landfi fill.” i

House spirit soars at St Paul’s swimming carnival

Showing support: All dressed in blue for Monash House are St Paul’s Year 8 students Asmi and Gabrielle.

Thumbs up: Getting into the spirit are Chisholm House Year 12 students Jonah and Molly.

FROM Monash Smurfs to Groovy Gilmorians to a Lalor Luau, the glorious weather at the 2022 Secondary House Swimming Carnival at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School set the scene to put smiles on the faces of students.

House Spirit was strong, particularly for the Year 12 students who cheered and supported the younger students during their final House Swimming Carnival.

It was a close contest for the House Spirit Shield, with all students doing their utmost to encourage and praise their fellow house peers and friends, with Chisholm House narrowly taking out the House Spirit Shield by one point over Franklin House.

A combined campus event between St Paul’s Warragul and Traralgon campuses, Paterson House was crowned champion winning the overall 2022 House Swim Shield, with Franklin House placing second and Monash House coming in third.

Making a splash: St Paul’s Year 12 student Amity swimming for Monash House.

Carpal tunnel and painful hands s

GP1640045

Painful hands and carpal tunnel syndrome is very common especially in older people who have lead a generous and productive working life.

It is sometimes difficult to sort out the cause of hand pain as it can result from ‘wear and tear’ such as osteoarthritis in the small joints of the hand, the moving structures such as inflammation of the tendon sheaths or from compression of the median nerve at the wrist.

To complicate things, problems with the neck and also the elbow can also refer pain to the hand.

Pain in the hand especially at night which causes you to wake or prevents sleep along with characteristically

pins and needles or numbness in the thumb index, miiddle andd hallf off the riing finger tendds to be diagnosttic of compression of the median nerve in the base of the palm or carpal tunnel syndrome.

The term carpal tunnel syndrome comes from the tight space between the small bones of the wrist and the sinew or ligament bridge crossing above the median nerve and tendons that control finger movement. The nerve is quite large and thick, almost the thickness of a little finger and is prone to being compressed in this tight anatomical area causing the symptoms of pain and ‘pins and needles’. Think of it as the nerve crying out for more space.

There are other options to elective surgery waiting lists!

Sometimes, if the clinical symptoms of carpal tunnel are not that clear, nerve conduction studies or an MRI of the hand and wrist may have to be done but most of the time the clinical situation is convincing.

The fix for this is relatively simple.

Either rest the hand in a splint for months, sometimes a steroid injection which is a bit painful and not that successful or a simple operation under local anaesthetic.

Carpal tunnel decompression can be done in a hospital under a general anaesthetic, but with skill and expertise it can be easily done in a half an hour without discomfort and is equally successful and

without all the fuss.

In most situations relief from the nocturnal pain is immediate, or within a day or two. The pins and needles and altered sensation in the fingertips taking longer to resolve. With long standing carpal tunnel syndrome it can take many months but if the symptom duration is short these tend to improve over a few weeks.

Unfortunately the procedure is not a general practice procedure and a referral will be necessary for an opinion and discussion of individual circumstances and how to proceed.

Helping hand: Rotary Club of Morwell president David McInnes overseeing the despatch of furniture to be shipped to Timor Leste. photograph supplied

Hospital beds shipped from Morwell to Timor THE Rotary Club of Morwell has arranged the despatch of hospital beds and school furniture to be sent to Timor Leste as part of a joint overseas project with the Rotary Club of Leongatha.

The beds were donated by Maryvale Private Hospital and the school tables and chairs were left surplus when the primary schools in Morwell combined to form Morwell Central school.

The project of assistance to a small rural community in Timor Leste was initiated by the Rotary Club of Leongatha and has gathered the support of several Rotary clubs throughout Gippsland.

Morwell Club was one of those who pledged to offer financial and in-kind support but the despatch of goods has been delayed by COVID pandemic and the worldwide shortage of shipping containers.

However, this week members of the club oversaw the despatch of the furniture from their storage shed to the Rotary Donations in Kind depot in Footscray from where it will be containerised and shipped to its destination in Timor.

“It is a great relief that we have finally been able to move this furniture on to a destination where we know it will make a difference to people who have very little in the way of equipment,” Rotary Club of Morwell president David McInnes said.

“It is another way of recycling goods as well as helping those who are less well off than we are.

“Our club is appreciative of Maryvale Hospital and the Department of Education for their assistance in the project.”

Unclaimed cash could well be yours

Is the cash yours: Latrobe City residents are among those entitled to money currently held in the State Revenue Office (SRO). file photograph

LATROBE City residents are among those entitled to money currently held in the State Revenue Office (SRO).

The state government are calling on Victorians to come forward and check if they are entitled to unclaimed cash.

Currently there are more than 740,000 entitlements waiting to be claimed across the state, totalling $111 million.

People can start the process with a simple online search.

“I encourage all Victorians, businesses and community groups to visit the SRO and search for any amount recorded under their name,” assistant treasurer Danny Pearson said.

“All you need are a few personal details and if we’re holding unclaimed money in your name, you’ll know within seconds. If you find an

Noise pollution reports double across Victoria

!

WITH more people working from home, Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria has seen a doubling of reports about noise pollution in the 2020-2021.

Noise report data collected between July 2021 and January 2022 show the trend is continuing with around 3500 noise pollution reports received at EPA’s Contact Centre in that period.

“The most common types of noise complaints are about residential and industrial noise,” EPA chief executive officer Lee Miezis said.

“In 2020-2021, 5404 of the total 20,000 pollution reports we received were about noise, more than twice as many as the year prior, so people are hearing more noise when they would normally be at work and they’re calling it in.

“The new Environment Protection Act, introduced in July 2021, give councils more powers to regulate residential noise and they can now appoint noise enforcement officers with power to make directions or even start court proceedings.

“EPA has more direct involvement in noise from commercial premises where machinery or work practices might be causing issues. Complaints about vehicle noise to EPA aren’t as common, but we work with police if the offending vehicle is on the road and with council if it is a residential driveway.

“We recognise that people don’t always know where to go to get help, so as we always say, call 1300 EPA VIC (1300 372 842) and we can at least help you navigate through to the right agency.”

The City of Melbourne has the highest amount of unclaimed money, sitting at $15,266,021 of unclaimed cash.

Latrobe has the third largest amount of unclaimed cash in regional Victoria, behind Greater Geelong and Greater Bendigo.

The overall value of unclaimed money in Latrobe is $1,194,185, with a total of 10,371 entitlements.

The largest single amount of unclaimed cash in the local government area is $12,599 - which belongs to a resident of Glengarry.

Local artists showcase talents Artists: Sharon Anderson, Cheryl Cook and Jill Loader are looking forward to the Open Studios Latrobe event.

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

OPEN Studios Latrobe will showcase local artists this month.

On Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27 2022, local artists and galleries will open their doors and show off their extensive talent.

Tickets are $5 per person (children are free), and allow the ticket holder to gain access to every participating studio from 10am until 4pm over the weekend.

Open Studios Latrobe is an initiative by MOaRTZ Inc. and is funded by Latrobe City Council.

Organiser and MOaRTZ president Sharon Anderson said she is excited for Open Studios to return after a brief pandemic initiated hiatus.

“We had COVID off and we are back again, thankfully,” she said.

Ms Anderson said the event is beneficial for both local artists and community members.

“It gives the visitors a good idea of what goes on in their local area, as far as the arts are concerned,” she said.

“It’s a great networking opportunity, otherwise you can feel quite isolated.”

Ms Anderson works in cyanotypes, screenprints and acrylic painting, she will be located at her studio in Moe during the event.

Participating studios are located in Moe, Tanjil South, Morwell, Yinnar and Boolarra.

MOaRTZ treasurer Cheryl Cook has also played a big part in setting up this year’s Open Studios,

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

and will be featured at her studio in Tanjil South.

Ms Cook started her art pathway in felt making with alpaca, now she is exploring with different mediums. Her art explores engagement with place and Gippsland’s landscape.

“I use felt, fabric, I’m currently experimenting with natural inks,” she said.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what medium I use, it’s whatever gets me the result I want.”

Ms Cook feels that Open Studios event was very beneficial for the Latrobe art scene.

“I think it really highlights that the Latrobe Valley is not just industrial, there is a strong art scene in the area,” she said.

“It shows a great camaraderie between the artists,

we are not really in competition with each other - it’s more like a coming together.”

Ms Cook’s work will be on display at her own studio in Tanjil South.

Another artist looking forward to the big weekend is Jill Loader.

Ms Loader works in textiles and polymer clay, she will also appear at Ms Cook’s studio in Tanjil South.

Her work includes shawls, rope baskets, necklaces, and buttons.

She feels the event is an opportunity for local artists come together.

“It does bring you closer... it is nice being part of something instead of just being by ourselves.”

Have you stared lovingly into your dog’s eyes and wondered what they were thinking?

Any dog lover will admit to that! While this heartwarming new series can’t answer that age-old question, it delivers on a bunch of others that enlighten us on man’s best friend.

Hosted by ABC News presenter Tony Armstrong, this three-part deep dive into our canine counterparts is a playful and educational delight. The series begins with a look at friendship, exploring the evolution of the human and dog bond. Next week, Armstrong explores dogs’ senses and how science can reveal how they experience the world, concluding with an exploration of dog happiness.

TROPPO ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

LA BREA Nine, Monday, 9pm

It’s rare for a crime series to pull on the heartstrings as much as this award-winning sensation. Returning tonight for its fourth season, the British series is awash with emotion and intricate characters, none the least its protagonists, DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker, pictured) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar), who share a beguiling friendship as partners in a police unit that deals with cold cases. The fourth season begins to unfurl with a peek into the lives of four suspects after a body is found in a scrap yard. Stuart and Khan discover they all have one thing in common: connections with the law. It’s probably the best season yet.

This week marks the halfway point of this enjoyable homegrown crime drama, which unabashedly taps into tropes and formulas. After all, there’s a reason why the disgraced ex-cop and eccentric private investigator are recurring characters; it is gratifying to immerse in the motivations and stories of those who step out of society. The scenic, unforgiving outback setting doesn’t hurt, either, adding another sense of otherness to the mystery. This week, ex-cop Ted (Thomas Jane), and PI with a shady past, Amanda (Nicole Chamoun, pictured) find their investigation getting more difficult, just as Ted receives some bombshell news.

The world feels like a crazy place at the moment. But if tuning into a series that helps you forget the headlines and news is a high priority, this American science fiction drama could be your remedy. Just beware: it’ll probably make your head spin.

So far, the story of two families’ lives torn apart by a massive sinkhole in LA – which also happens to be a portal – has either frazzled or thrilled viewers.

It’s so over the top and confusingly written that it’s a sure-fire distraction.

Now, a super storm is causing chaos, while Gavin (Eoin Macken, pictured) embarks on a journey into his past, which might be the key to saving his family in the present.

Latrobe City in precinct plan

Fresh beginnings: Yallambee Resident Mavis Treyvaud and new chief executive officer Alison Snell.

photograph alyssa fritzlaff

Yallambee welcomes new CEO YALLAMBEE Traralgon Village for the Aged has a new chief executive officer.

Alison Snell, former facility manager at Mirboo North’s Calvary Strzelecki House and National Infection Prevention and Control advisor for Calvary Healthcare, has taken up the important position.

Ms Snell grew up in Gippsland, and began her career as a registered nurse.

She said she is as passionate about aged care today as she was at the beginning of her career.

As soon as Ms Snell began working in the aged care sector she knew it was where she wanted to stay.

“I finished my nursing degree, then did some

shifts at a nursing home and I thought this is for me,” she said.

Now, Ms Snell has been working in the sector for about 20 years.

“I love being able to make a difference with people, I love the interactions with families and getting to know everyone in their home,” she said.

“I’m pretty honoured to be part of their lives.”

Ms Snell started her new position at Yallambee last month and is spending time getting to know the facility, its residents and staff.

Ms Snell is enjoying getting to meet everyone and said everyone she has encountered has been welcoming.

There are approximately 190 staff and 120 residents at Yallambee.

“At the moment I’m just looking to see how everything works,” she said.

“It’s fantastic, really warm and welcoming.”

Ms Snell marvelled at Yallambee’s design.

“It’s such a beautiful home, and it’s lovely to walk around and meet all the residents,” she said.

“The townhouses out the front - they’re just beautiful inside.”

Ms Snell is excited about the future of Yallambee, and looks forward to working with the facility’s board of directors on future projects.

“The board seem to want to progress and do bigger and better things,” she said.

THE National Farmers Federation has identified the Latrobe City/Gippsland region as one of 20 Regional Development Precincts and is advocating for a $1.4 billion blueprint for regional renewal.

NFF president Fiona Simson said “thousands upon thousands” of Australians recognised the endless potential in these areas and were making their home in regional centres Ms Simson said there needed to be a government-led strategy to deliver for growing populations and to guarantee these regions’ vibrant future.

“Our regional centres and surrounding communities should be great places to live with affordable housing, social services, amenity and cultural opportunities, on par with that in urban Australia,” Ms Simson said.

“There must also be career and business opportunities.”

Ms Simson said COVID had exposed Australia’s reliance on international imports, and now was the time to seriously invest in domestic manufacturing capabilities.

“It just makes sense for these developments to make their home in regional Australia,” she said.

The plan had the input of 30 industry and community groups, and the NFF engaged with local government, federal and state agencies.

Ms Simson said the aim was for locals and businesses to be no more than 90 minutes from the services and infrastructure.

The proposal is putting the onus on National Cabinet to establish a framework, including local government, to develop a plan for these 20 Regional Development Precincts.

Ms Simson said at least $1.4 billion in new funding was needed to ensure the plan came to life and didn’t become “yet another glossy document gathering dust in a high-rise innercity office”.

“Rural local governments are acutely aware of both the challenges their communities face and their potential, but are financially constrained by a more-often-than-not small rate base,” she said.

Latrobe Valley Model Aero Club’s 50th anniversary

THE club came about when a meeting was called for Wednesday, March 15, 1972 at the youth club hall in Traralgon.

Thirteen people attended and a motion was put forward that a Model Club be formed.

The vote was unanimous in favour and the Latrobe Valley Model Aircraft Club (LVMAC) was the name chosen and a sub-committee was formed to work out a constitution.

The inaugural meeting of the LVMAC was held on August 19, 1972 with 16 interested people attending.

The proposed constitution was adopted and a committee was duly elected to run the club.

Meetings were to be held in Barry Felmingham’s Panel Works in Traralgon and all types of flying (Control Line, Free Flight, Radio Control & Thermal Gliding) were to be at the clubs main field at “Cairnbrook,” via Glengarry and a second site at Copelands Rd, Warragul, as we had several members from the Warragul area.

Since 1972, monthly meetings have been held on first Wednesday of each month and our official Monthly Flyday is on the following Sunday.

Currently our Monthly Meetings are held at the Latrobe Valley Regional Airport.

The club’s main flying site moved to Ryan Field at Tyers in 1974 and we flew from this site for 15 years.

Many cars would stop along the road and watch the models fly and crash.

The club became incorporated in 1984 and the name was changed to the Latrobe Valley Model Aero Club (incorporated).

The models were getting bigger and faster and needed more space, so the Club moved the main flying site back to “Cairnbrook” in1989 and flew there until moving to a new site at Lake Narracan in 2000 where we could fly our model aircraft from the Land or the Lake.

The Warragul site was lost to development in April 2017 and a new site was found not too far from the old site.

The club also had a flying site at Blue Rock Dam for several years, which is now in the hands of another club.

The club has had up to 72 members in the past and currently has 43 members and we fly at our Lake Narracan and Warragul sites, several times each week (weather permitting).

The club is planning a “Fly-in” and some social celebrations later this year to celebrate our 50-year anniversary, so if any past members out there would like to come along and catch up, or if you have an interest in Model Aviation and want to learn to fly RC, you are quite welcome to visit us at Lake Narracan.

Contact the secretary on 0422 627 169 for more information.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE YEARS A decision on the 40 per cent privatisation bid is expected to be known next week and will be officially announced by the state government at the end of this month.

GTLC secretary Brendan Jenkins is angry that an agreement has been reached between the ASU and both bidders.

“We would like to have seen Mission and SEI start off on the right foot, by negotiating with all sectors of the workforce,” he said.

“If they’ve negotiated with only the ASU, it might work against Mission and SEI. They could be seen by blue collar workers to be white collar driven.”

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, MARCH 15, 1972

CANADIANS TO HELP REDUCE APM ODOUR

A group of Canadian consultants will make a report before the end of the year on ways of reducing the air borne gases emitted from the recovery section at APM’s Maryvale mill.

APM’s resident district manager Mr J.C Barassi said the consultants had been brought in as part of an investigation by APM to improve the operation of its kraft pulp mill.

The four consultants, who work for the Canadian company of H.A Simon, completed the intensive study visit to Maryvale mill last week.

BILLY THORPE AT LOCAL POP FESTIVAL

An open air pop festival to be staged at Heyfield is being arranged, starring the one and only Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.

Another top interstate group to appear is the La de da’s.

Most of our local groups are also planned to appear.

FOUR PLAYERS CLEARED IN FOOTY SENSATION

The Mid Gippsland Football League has granted permission to four Latrobe Valley Football League players to play Mid Gippy this season without first obtaining a clearance from the clubs they played with last season.

The players are Neville Gorman, Peter Jackson and Colin Webster of Yallourn and Ken Jennings of Moe. All players have been appointed as assistant coaches of Mid Gippy clubs.

Gorman to Newborough, Jackson to Hazelwood, Webster to Yinnar and Jennings to Hazelwood-Churchill.

FUN FACT: A two-year-old tan coloured brick veneer home in Morwell with three bedrooms was on the market for $18,500 with G.R Billingsley Real Estate.

LV COUNCIL TOPS LABOR LIST

A partly-elected regional authority for the Latrobe Valley would be high on the priorities of a state Labor government, Morwell MLA Val Callister said last night.

Ms Callister said she would be pushing for the authority to be set up inside of Labor’s first term in government.

The authority – with the responsibility for economic development and regional planning – is already an approved part of ALP policy.

“I see a regional authority as something very important. We would expect to be looking at ways of setting a strategy for it straight away.

But it’s also important to get it done properly.”

LEISURE CENTRE PLANS GO PUBLIC

Concept plans for the new Morwell Leisure Centre at Sir Norman Brookes Park have gone on display at Morwell City offices.

The plans were adopted by a council committee after a one-hour presentation by architect Anthony Lake on Monday night.

REDS ‘SNATCH’ VICTORY WITH LAST MINUTE GOAL

TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1982

WATER COSTS UP, AND RISING

Water will cost more for most Moe people this year – and the Waterworks Trust has given warning of escalating costs ahead.

An estimated 98 per cent of Moe’s population will pay a new minimum rate of $65 for water (up $17) and 93 per cent will pay the minimum sewerage rate of $54 (up $10).

But on the brighter side, the water rate will allow people to use slightly more water before going onto the excess charge.

And best of all, the annual water restrictions should be a thing of the past.

TIGERS … JUST TERRIFIC

Tigers Cricket Club completed their most successful when they took the CGCA A Grade premiership in a very high standard game against Morwell on Saturday.

Batting first, Tigers made 7/148 with Jeff Knowles (39 not out), George Munro (35) and Leo Knowles (34) doing most of the heavy lifting.

Ian Watson (4/49) was the pick of the Morwell bowlers.

Morwell was bowled out for 111 in reply with Mark Husquin (5/37) a standout with the ball.

Neil Meredith (26) top-scored for Morwell as Jeff Knowles capped a fine all-round performance, taking 3/35.

LOY YANG B ‘DEAL’ SPLITS UNIONS

The Australian Services Union (ASU) if offside with the Gippsland Trades and Labour Council (GTLC) after privately negotiating a deal with Loy Yang B bidders, Mission Energy and Southern Electric International (SEI).

A last minute goal by Yallourn gave them a 3-2 victory over Berwick City in Provisional League Soccer on Saturday.

With the scores locked 2-2 and time ticking away, a throw-in from Dale Collings found Mark Hiriart, who drew a defender.

Hiriart turned and chipped the ball across the goal area for Nigel Browne to head in the winning goal.

FUN FACT: The Big Gag and the little giggle, a comedy show starring Shane Bourne, Peter Rowsthorn, Judith Lucy, The Scared Weird Little Guys and the Umbilical Brothers, was on at the Traralgon Town Hall.

MIXED REACTION

The reaction to Latrobe City Council’s plans to consolidate its offices in Morwell has been mixed, with loud approval from business groups in Morwell and Moe being matched by similarly vocal opposition from counterparts in Traralgon.

The response was also mixed from the members of the public, but the majority of those who spoke to The Express – on the streets and by phone – registered their concern at the plans.

A larger indication of the public’s response to council’s plans might be on show when the Fair Play Campaign holds a rally at the Traralgon Showgrounds on Wednesday.

Council last week released plans for the project, which reveal a cost of $7.7 million for the office itself, but a total of just over $15 million for the completion of the wider project which would involve a new library, information centre, underground car park and council chamber.

NEW CHURCHILL POLICE STATION

In a boost for local law enforcement, the state government officially unveiled the new Churchill Police Station late last week.

The opening of the $500,000 station – which is on the same site as the former run down

LATROBE MAKES CLEAN SWEEP

Latrobe made a clean sweep of the senior grand finals in Central Gippsland cricket, taking out the firsts, seconds and thirds premierships on the weekend, adding to the flag its Under-16 team won a few weeks back.

A century by Latrobe’s Rob Fox was the highlight of the A Grade grand final.

Fox, 17, came in at one wicket down and amassed 104 as Latrobe powered to 308 against Yallourn North.

Anthony Bloomfield (65) and Leon McConnell (60) played pivotal roles with half-centuries.

Yallourn North mustered 157 in reply, with Scott Douglas (38) top-scoring.

Bruce Dalgleish took 4/30 for Latrobe and Bloomfield (3/16) completed a fine match.

Latrobe defeated Moe in the second and third grade deciders.

RELOCATION BOOKED IN

“Unsuitable” enrolment numbers have forced a private Latrobe Valley school to relocate students from its Newborough campus.

Parents of more than 50 students at Lavalla Catholic College received a letter last week, which revealed as of next year, students from Newborough’s Presentation campus will be transferred to the St Paul’s campus in Traralgon.

CREDITOR REMUNERATION UNLIKELY

Creditors of ill-fated building company Kirway Constructions are realising there’s ‘’slim chance’’ of remuneration, after the long drawn out liquidation process kicked off at a creditor meeting in Melbourne on Friday.

Attended by Kirway directors Ross Clavarino and Wayne Hough, and more than 20 companies, including sub-contractors and suppliers, creditors heard it would be at least six months before any clarity was reached on remuneration of at least $4 million owed to about 600 creditors.

SEVENTH WIN ON THE TROT

After thrashing Latrobe by 130 runs to win its seventh consecutive Central Gippsland Cricket Association A Grade premiership, Moe is already thinking about next season.

It was Moe captain Rob Phoenix’s eighth premiership at Moe and his sixth consecutive one as captain, taking his personal tally to 11.

The premiership was the ninth for Moe veteran Matt Clarke, as he edged closer to taking a staggering 900 first grade wickets.

Lumen Christi Primary observes the season of Lent

THE season of Lent began in the Catholic Church with Ash Wednesday.

The children of Lumen Christi finally went back to their Parish Church and celebrated this important day with a whole school Liturgy.

Ash Wednesday also marks the beginning of the school’s annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal. Caritas Australia brings together thousands of schools and Parishes who stand in solidarity together for the world’s poorer communities.

The aim is to alleviate poverty, hunger and injustice both in Australia and around the world.

The children took home a small box for donations as part of their almsgiving during Lent, which is 40 days of personal reflection, prayer and giving to others as they prepare for Easter. Through their generosity, the money collected this year will assist the people of Ukraine and others who experience injustice, suffer harm or poverty.

Awesome foursome: Conner, Jack, Macen and Alice at the whole school liturgy in their Parish Church.

‘Tis the season: Year 3/4 students from Lumen Christi Primary School in Churchill their personal Lenten reflection leaves displayed on a school Lenten tree.

Students cleaning our environment one step at a time IN recognition of “Clean Up Australia Day,” Junior School students at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School recently rolled up their sleeves to make a positive impact on the environment.

The Year 6 Environmental Leaders at St Paul’s encouraged other students to participate, emphasising the importance of keeping our environment rubbish-free.

“We are glad that students from all year levels stepped forward to clean up St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School and surrounding areas to improve the environment,” Year 6 Environmental Leaders (Thomas, Cooper and Thomas) said.

“Well done everyone!”

The event prompted students to be mindful of conserving our precious environment and caring for it for the health and happiness of future generations.

The official Clean Up Australia Day was conducted on Sunday, March 6.

Great news, Humphrey B. Bear is heading back to school AUSTRALIAN television superstar Humphrey B. Bear is heading back to school to launch a new and exciting initiative to help children with developmental challenges or disabilities participate in school and better cope with the stresses of COVID. The much-loved Logie winner who loves singing, dancing and eating honey is the new face of a series of educational videos and resources created by Monash University’s AllPlay team.

This series will help educators and parents support children of all ages and abilities to regulate their emotions through movement and better settle back into school life.

In Australia, one in six children experiences developmental challenges or disabilities which can impact how they participate in school.

Emotion regulation involves recognising, managing and expressing emotions in adaptive ways and allows children to learn, socialise

and engage in daily activities. AllPlay’s free resources, available to teachers and parents, feature Humphrey B. Bear with children with disabilities and dancers from the Queensland Ballet, singing and dancing to music created

by Corinne Gibbons, and former Hi-5 executive producer Julie Greene.

“Research shows that emotion regulation through movement and labelling is a simple but effective way of helping kids build resilience and coping skills,” AllPlay program founder Professor Nicole Rinehart said.

“This is particularly important now as children are coping with the additional stresses of COVID. “Humphrey B. Bear has always been a leader when it comes to inclusion.

“He loves exploring, creating, playing, learning and giving anything a go. Humphrey was the perfect choice to be the face of music videos that can help children understand their

emotions and recognise them in themselves and others.”

AllPlay Learn was established in partnership with the state Department of Education and Training to create inclusive educational environments for children and young people with developmental challenges and disabilities through practical online information, courses and resources for teachers, as well as information and resources for parents, children and the community.

AllPlay Learn takes a strengths-based approach to disability and turns this into tools and strategies that everyone can access.

“Ten years ago, we set out to change the status quo for children with disabilities. Thanks to our great partnerships and research funding partners, we have made significant progress towards our goal to make the world fit for all kids,” Professor Rinehart said.

Surrendered pets on the increase in Valley

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

PET surrenders are mounting in the Latrobe Valley, and rescue services are struggling to keep up.

According to some local animal rescue services, people in the Valley are finding themselves with no choice but to surrender their furry friends due to the rental crisis.

Shellie Chessum, owner of Grounded Paws Animal Rescue (GPAR), said the number of surrenders of dogs and cats “really ramped up” after Christmas.

Shockingly, many of the people surrendering their beloved pets have reported having to do so because of housing shortages.

Many people are telling volunteers at GPAR that with nowhere to go except hotels or other temporary accommodation, and no end in sight for housing shortages, they have no choice but to surrender.

“With the whole housing system thing, no one can get a rental, people’s rentals are going and they have to move out,” Ms Chessum told The Express.

“Some people are becoming homeless and finding themselves in a hotel or motel ... and they’ve not to where to put them (their pets). You can’t do a foster system because they don’t know if they will be out of a home for six months or six weeks.”

Ms Chessum said surrender days are quite distressing for GPAR volunteers and the animals who are separated from their owners.

“We hate surrender days, it’s really hard,” she said.

“The people who hand them over go about their day, and we’ve got to deal with this stressed out animal ... all of a sudden everything has changed.

Their whole life has been turned outside down.”

Rescue: GPAR volunteer Louise Francis holds cat ‘Tyrone’ while ‘Ollie’ watches on.

Most often, people’s reason for surrendering their pets, as reported to GPAR volunteers, is moving, veterinary care being needed, and children having allergies.

Ms Chessum urged pet owners to explore their options before making the decision to surrender.

She said the team at GPAR can make themselves

available for pet owners who are struggling, and can offer advice and assistance.

“Make an appointment here, come in and have a coffee with us and we will help you through it step by step,” Ms Chessum said.

“Often people have already made their mind up.

But the option is there to come in, sit down, and have a chat and work out how to fix these problems so the animal can stay where they are... we will work with them.”

Ms Chessum said getting a pet is a big commitment for anyone.

“If you’re getting a young cat, it’s a 20-year commitment, on the spot,” she explained.

“If you’re getting a dog, it’s 10 to 15 years. No one knows what’s coming, but make sure that whatever happens you are going to commit to this animal - it relies on you.”

According to a Forever Friends Animal Rescue Latrobe spokesperson, housing shortages is one of the reasons people are surrendering their pets.

“We receive numerous requests each week from community members who are seeking to surrender their cats and dogs. Enquiry numbers vary each week,” the spokesperson said.

“Since the start of the year we have taken in five community surrenders, with a number of cats and dogs still waitlisted to enter care. The rationale for surrender has been for various reasons including housing shortages and family violence.”

Latrobe City Council also reported a rise in the number of animals surrendered in the week following Christmas.

“Unfortunately we did see an increase in animal surrenders in the week after Christmas,” a council spokesperson said.

“We understand that surrendering a family pet is never an easy decision to make and Latrobe City makes every effort to find surrendered pets a suitable new home.”

RSPCA Victoria reported no statewide increase in animals surrendered.

However, RSPCA Victoria head of operations Tanya Drakopoulos encouraged people to take care when adopting or buying new pets.

“Pet ownership is a rewarding experience however it does come with multiple responsibilities and it is important that the person receiving the gift is ready to have an animal in their life,” she said.

“The adoption process should be carefully considered and planned as pet ownership is a commitment that can last 10 to 20 years.”

Ms Drakopoulos said adopting from an animal welfare organisation is a good way to ensure your pet comes from a reputable source.

“All RSPCA Victoria animals are health and behaviour checked, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and up to date with flea and worm treatments,” she said.

If you want to purchase your pet from a breeder, here are three key things to look out for to ensure you are supporting a legitimate organisation.

Have you:  Visited the place where the puppy was born  Met the mother dog (and father dog too, if he’s there) and checked they’re happy and healthy  Ensure the breeder provides a high standard of care and living conditions for all of their dogs GPAR is currently looking for more volunteers to help them out, those interested are welcome to apply on their website: www.groundedpaws.org/

Eastern Region Bridge Championships prove a real winner EASTERN Region Bridge Association (ERBA) was established in the 1990s, consisting of Lakes Entrance, Paynesville, Bairnsdale, Sale, Traralgon, South Gippsland and Phillip Island Bridge Clubs.

There is regular competition and social play between the ERBA clubs.

Bridge is an international game and a bridge player is welcome to play at clubs throughout Australia and overseas.

Sale Bridge Club hosted the ERBA (Eastern Region Bridge Association) Championships.

Martin Willcox, who helped set up ERBA, was the director.

The winners of each section are eligible to play in the state championships.

This is an annual event hosted by a different ERBA club each year.

At the ERBA annual meeting, held last month, Laura Ginnan presented a new approach for club bridge lessons for the region.

Ginnan has visited Sale for the last three years and presented ‘Bridge In a Day’ at the Sale Club.

She also presented Real Deal Bridge’s New Lessons Program to other ERBA clubs including Bairnsdale, Paynesville and Lakes Entrance.

This is a new approach for regional clubs to work together and Sale is looking forward to working with the other clubs, and promoting bridge in the region.

Alcohol reforms to take effect

THE state government has announced new alcohol reforms that will take effect this month.

The reforms will allow licensed restaurants and cafes to supply a limited volume of alcohol with takeaway or delivery meals without having to apply and pay for a second licence.

These changes are intended to help the hospitality industry recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19.

Businesses will be able to include limited packaged liquor, and hotels, bars, restaurants and cafes wanting to extend their trading hours from 11pm to 1am will now be able to do so automatically, without having to apply for a license change.

Those businesses that currently hold Temporary Limited Licences (TLLs) expiring in March will be able to access a new streamlined process to apply for a new TLL - allowing them to continue selling alcohol outdoors.

Liquor Regulation Minister Melissa Horne said all changes have been accessed to reduce harm to the community.

“These important reforms balance supporting Victoria’s hospitality and entertainment industries post-pandemic while ensuring harm minimisation remains a key focus,” she said.

“All changes have been assessed to reduce both harm to the community and unnecessary hurdles for small businesses, which we know did it really tough during the pandemic.”

The reforms include harm minimisation measures, some of which will take effect later this year.

All online sales of alcohol will the subjects to the same conditions, including protection for minors. Those supplying alcohol will need to deliver in person to first time customers and verify their age and ID. There will also be greater clarity around alcohol advertising that is likely to appeal to minors, promotes violence or is of a sexual, degrading or sexist nature.

Further measures intended to minimise harm are set to come into effect throughout the year, including making it an offence to deliver alcohol to an intoxicated person and making it compulsory for large packaged liquor stores to undertake a community impact assessment as part of the licencing application.

What our future holds: The Latrobe Valley considers its role as a centre for sustainable design and food production during Gippsland Design Day on March 25, taking place at the brand-new Gippsland Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) in Traralgon. photograph supplied

Valley’s sustainable potential THE Latrobe Valley considers its role as a centre for sustainable design and food production during Gippsland Design Day on Friday, March 25 from 10am-2pm.

The event will take place at the brand-new Gippsland Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) in Traralgon designed by Jackson Architecture and Katsieris Origami: Architects-in-Association.

The curated day will explore ecologically responsive and ‘more than human’ design and creative production practices, the potential of solar engineering and agriculture, the Latrobe Valley as a clean, green and trusted food producer and the power of creative entrepreneurship in driving innovation.

The day will be spearheaded with talks from creative sustainability consultant Ross Harding from Finding Infinity; Nick Harding from Ha Architecture; Paul Katsieris, Design Director, Katsieris Origami: Architecture & Urbanism and Design Director for the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre; Bec Cole the director of creative arts at Latrobe City Council; Gabrielle and Chris Moore from Sailor’s Grave Brewing with their collaborator Bruce Pascoe, author of Dark Emu; John Calabro

from The View From Here design studio and co-founder of Gippslandia; Mim Cook from ABC Radio Gippsland and other special contributors to be announced soon.

Sessions include “Creative Entrepreneurship and the Latrobe Valley” with Ross Harding presenting the milestones to a self-sustaining city and region developed through Finding Infinity’s 10-point strategy A New Normal.

An illustrated talk from Nick Harding further contextualises this vision with Ha Architecture’s Valley of the Sun project, prototyping the potential for solar agriculture in the Latrobe Valley.

Paul Katsieris will offer possibilities for the future of sustainable engineered timber construction in the region, before the three presenters broaden their discussion on a panel led by Myf Doughty, Curator, Contemporary Design and Architecture, NGV. “Changing perceptions of Latrobe Valley from an industrial centre to one of sustainable food production” forms the theme of a second session of talks presented by creative entrepreneurs from the Gippsland region.

John Calabro, director of the Traralgon-based

design practice The View From Here will discuss motivations for co-founding the non-for-profit publication Gippslandia, its rapid success engaging community members and catalysing awareness around clean, green and trusted consumables production in the Gippsland region.

Craft brewers Gabrielle and Chris Moore will share their story of creative entrepreneurship at their Orbost brewery, Sailor’s Grave.

Bruce Pascoe joins them to unfold the journey behind their collaboration on the Dark Emu Dark Lager brew.

These presentations will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Ms Cook.

Finally, guests will be invited to participate in informal tastings with local producers and guided building tours of GPAC personally co-led by principals from Jackson Architecture and Katsieris Origami: Architects-in-Association of the new building.

Traralgon musician releases his new song

By ALYSSA FRITZLAFF

TRARALGON singer-songwriter Judah Leak has released his new song Can’t Breathe.

Mr Leak, 21, wrote the song a couple of years ago and was waiting for the right time to record and release it.

That time is now.

Can’t Breathe is a folk-pop style song, and was written about one of Mr Leak’s former love interests.

“It was originally going to be an acoustic song, but then we did a piano track over it and I just really liked the piano,” he said.

“Most of the lyrics and the tune were the same, but the sound was different by the end.”

The song was released on Mr Leak’s Facebook page, with as a music video accompanying it.

Produced by local man Toby Just, the video shows Mr Leak walking along a beach singing while

having black and white flashbacks of his time or sings … my sister does guitar and piano, and with a woman. she sings as well,” he said.

The video was shot three days at Woodside “I love singing, I’m really passionate about it. I Beach, Kilcunda, and Phillip Island. just get a lot of joy from it.”

Mr Leak’s friend, Indi Lee is featured as Mr Leak said he is pleased with the the subject of the song, while Amy plays outcome of the music video and the the keyboard. response has received from family, friends and his online following.

A lot of work went on behind the scenes to make the video happen.

“It definitely encapsulates what I envisioned, I’m very happy with it,” The recording and mixing of the he said. song was orchestrated by Mr Leak and members of his family.

Mr Leak said he is unsure what the future holds for him at the moment.

His dad, Matt Leak, engineered and mixed the track - and played a majority of He enjoys working full-time as a the instruments - while Mr Leak’s sister, barista, but would not be opposed to JUDAH LEAK Amy Leak, provided backup vocals. taking his music further in the future.

Musical talent runs in Mr Leak’s family, and This year, he is planning on writing as much he and his seven siblings grew up with a love for music as he can. music.

“Maybe next year I’ll look at getting more gigs “My whole family pretty much plays instruments and busking,” he said.

Act now on climate change

YES, I agree with Dan Caffrey (The Express, Opinion, 9/3/22) that not only the LNP must take climate change seriously.

All governments (state and federal) must change their policy for the sake of this planet.

The stern warnings are now upon us, with the temperatures rising and unusual storms happening around Australia.

So take action now on your climate change policy, not years down the track.

N.F Nanos, Traralgon

Improve our national security and fight global warming at the same time

THE recent rise in international tensions has highlighted security issues for Australia, not to mention many other countries of the world.

Apparently, Australia has between 30 and 40 days’ worth of petroleum in reserve if imports were suddenly cut off, against the recommended 90 days.

A planned additional stockpile to be held on the other side of the Pacific Ocean may be of little help if sea lanes are closed. Western Europe is even more dependent on coal and gas from Russia and, given the present war in Ukraine, could be very energy-deprived if things escalate to the point where the tap on these is turned off.

The simple fact is that countries that rely on imported fossil fuels to power their economies are vulnerable to embargoes or blockades when there is international tension such as that which we are seeing now. If nations were able to power their economies with renewable energy, then a major motivation for war and vulnerability to the effects of war are removed.

In this context, US President Biden has recently flagged an accelerated shift to electric vehicles and

Online comments PREMIER OPENS NEW MORWELL TRADE SKILLS CENTRE Andrew Lacey: Wonder what skills he brought with him?

Angie Gilligan Francis: Awesome. So positive for the area.

Simon Lund: Shame Dan Andrews couldn’t make the time to talk to the Morwell CFA volunteers and explain why they are getting removed from their station and being forced to be tenants of the new FRV station.

Darren Brown: Didn’t know the circus was in town.

Danny Stevenson: Labor shut down the Technical Schools years ago but now realise that was a big mistake.

Suzanna Joye: No social distancing here even though we are told numbers are still high.

Peter Watson: How did he find the Valley?? Nothing happens outside of Melbourne.

David Norton: Education is the key to our future. Great to see this in Gippsland.

Guss Lambden: Must be election time. A Labor premier would be lucky to know where the Latrobe Valley is.

TURRA PAVILION A GAME-CHANGE FOR TRAFALGAR Erny Ernst: So proud to have been a part of this land purchase and the team that set out arguments for the purchase back in 2005/6, also many more people involved than Mick and Peter.

The whole TCDA and those officers at Baw Baw Shire who backed the community’s vision.

DODD SHARES INSIGHTS Gordon Curran: There are now 510,000 small-scale solar PV systems in Victoria – all together they generate almost a third of the state’s total residential electricity demand, with more than 15,000 households also having a solar battery. No wonder coal fired power stations are going broke.

Tiffany Brown: There is an amount of misinformation about how much control the state government has over the future of power workers. Mainly from the National Party. Power workers are employed on Federal Awards regulated by the federal Liberal government and the state government can say what it likes but it cannot legislate outcomes.

Scott Meadows: The management knew early than reported and never passed it on to the workforce.

clean energy to stop tyrants using fossil fuels as a weapon.

Australia in particular could become energy self-sufficient if its economy was powered by sun, wind and storage via pumped hydro and batteries, as well as hydrogen. If just about all transport was via electric vehicles using our abundant wind and solar energy to power them, then we could sleep a lot easier.

Why isn’t our federal government taking the lead to fast-track our transition to a 100 per cent renewable energy economy to enhance our energy security and fight global warming at the same time?

Philip Rayment, Traralgon

Distress felt at recent flood scenes in northern states

IS there anyone who is not distressed to see the suffering of so many thousands of fellow Australians in the unprecedented (but not unexpected) flooding in New South Wales and Queensland.

Love

Such events were predicted by climate scientists decades ago, and now we see what climate change really means, following from the Black Summer fires, preceding drought, biodiversity loss and coastal erosion.

The IPCC COP26 report urgently pleas for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions which are produced when fossil fuels are burnt. CO2 and other greenhouse gases have been accumulating in the atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution, leading to more trapped heat influencing the climate.

About 70 per cent of the excess heat is absorbed by the ocean, resulting in more evaporation which contributes to increased rainfall. The natural cycle of La Nina brings cooler summers and more rain, but increased evaporation from the ocean has contributed to the unimaginable amount of rain dumped on New South Wales and Queensland in the last few weeks.

But what can be done? Donations will help those individuals and businesses who have literally lost everything. We can expect increased insurance

premiums. Some climate impacts are already locked in, but IPCC stresses that reduction of greenhouse gases is urgent. A planned rapid and just transition to renewable energy needs everyone to work together, especially as Latrobe Valley works to change our economy from coal-based industry to alternative industries.

Unfortunately, the federal government has failed to lead on climate action, and transition.

Lorraine Bull, Morwell

The spotlight on where taxpayers’ money is going

THE recent unprecedented flood disasters in New South Wales and Queensland has Australians questioning how the Morrison government is spending taxpayer money.

The trend to smaller government has left an inability to respond appropriately to emergency situations, because the public service has been hollowed out and expertise subcontracted to private consultancies. Fearless, independent advice to ministers is no longer available because the expertise has gone.

The infamous “Back in Black” promise to get Australia’s federal budget back into surplus came at the expense of reduced services in health, education, social services and aged care sectors, cuts to the ABC and clawing back welfare recipients with scams like robo-debt.

Not to mention the waste in election promise rorts, cancelled submarine contract and paying Liberal Party donors 10 times the actual value of real estate for projects such as the Badgerys Creek airport.

Interest rates will rise soon, coinciding with the necessity for planning for more serious climate related disasters, increased defence spending and an aging population. We already have the COVID debt to pay back, with $23 billion of this going to some large companies that didn’t need it.

The interest on these outgoings will be an extra drain on our economy. Yet PM Morrison is trying to woo voters at the coming election by promising already wealthy people a tax cut costing the Budget $19 billion annually, by in-effect allowing a person on $200,000 income, pay the same rate of tax as a someone on $45,000.

Shopkeepers and small businesses would much rather see a tax break go to low wage earners because they will see that money being spent locally and instantly, whereas the wealthy will invest in real estate or the stock market or off-shore tax haven, widening the gap between rich and poor.

How can the Morrison government claim to be good economic managers when they are governing to benefit only the top third on the wealth scale and not able to maintain those services which the whole country needs and then to provide for increasing climate change resilience?

If the Liberals and Nationals had taken climate change seriously over the last 30 years, we would not be so thoroughly unprepared today. The Coalition’s reliance on fossil fuel donations to keep them afloat, has effectively stalled our ability to confront the economic impacts of climate change.

I became a Greens member, because the Greens have carefully costed science-based policies to fight climate change and support a fair and equitable society. But most importantly to provide a government that serves the people and not one that abrogates responsibility to the corporate world and small government.

Temporary speed restrictions to be placed along Highland Highway

Meetings

AGL Loy Yang wishes to advise the community that temporary speed restrictions will be in place along the Hyland Highway east of the power station and mine from 7pm Tuesday 22 March until the early hours of Wednesday 23 March.

Minor works will also occur during March in preparation for the 22nd March.

We recommend that motorists travelling along this stretch of highway during this time follow the speed restrictions in place and be prepared for some minor delays.

The road works will allow the travel of a 260 tonne, 12.5-metre-high piece of machinery, called a head end conveyor, crossing the Hyland Highway on its journey from Loy Yang's overburden dump to the AGL mine.

Traffic management will be in place to allow motorists through during the period when the machinery crosses the highway.

We thank you for your patience in allowing us to carry out this important work.

Final chapter of Duncan’s Run awaits ATHLETICS

By BARRY HIGGINS

THIS Saturday will see the final staging of the iconic Duncan’s Run, a series of trail runs through the picturesque Strzelecki Ranges.

The six, 21, 50 and 100 kilometre events will commence for the final time from the Tarra Bulga Visitors Centre at Balook.

The events have been held in memory of local runner Duncan Orr and to fulfil his vision of a trail run through the Strzeleckis.

In the lead up to the inaugural event in 2013, Latrobe Valley Express reporter Lynda McRae wrote, “Duncan Orr was a man who loved a challenge. Before his life was tragically cut short in an accident he had an ambitious plan to stage an ultra-marathon on the scenic trails of Gippsland’s Grand Strzelecki Track”.

As a valued Army Reserve member of the 39th Construction Squadron of the Royal Australian Engineers, based at Newborough, Duncan was killed in a vehicle accident in February 2013 during his deployment to New Zealand representing the Australian Army as part of the Tasman Scheme.

Duncan and his wife Anna had run endurance events including the fabled 80km Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon in Mexico in early 2012.

Inspired by completing ultra-distance events around the world, Duncan encouraged his fellow Harriers and others to enjoy the beauty of the Strzeleckis by running its trails.

After his death, a dedicated Committee of Duncan’s family and friends were supported by the Australian Ultra Runners Association, Traralgon Harriers, the Grand Strzelecki Track Inc. Committee and other volunteer groups and sponsors - an overwhelming commitment to an inspiring vision.

The trails of Tarra Bulga National Park and the Grand Strzelecki Track were favourite training areas for Duncan and Anna so it seemed a fitting place to stage the inaugural Duncan’s Run in December 2013.

Over the years runners from across Australia and overseas have experienced the spectacular views and delightful environment along the relatively new Grand Strzelecki Track, including the summit of Mount Tassie overlooking the Valley.

As Duncan once said, “When you enter an ultra-run of this distance most people ask ‘why would anyone want to run that far? ’I would have liked to have replied ‘because I can’, but for me it was more along the lines of ‘because I don’t know if I can’”.

Owen Townsend, Race Director for Duncan’s Run 2022, said this year’s run had received a great response.

Leading the field: Duncan Orr shades talented runners Darrel Cross, Shane Pettingell, Steve Quirk and Des Paynter at an earlier Latrobe City Community Fun Run. photographs supplied Done: Catherine Musgrave celebrates approaching the finish of the Duncan’s Run 21km event.

View: Megan Harper at the Rotary International cairn on Mount Tassie with the Valley in the background during a previous Duncan’s Run.

Complete: Jon Lim shows his excitement at reaching the finish of the Duncan’s Run 50km course.

“As a measure of the popularity of trail running and of Duncan’s Run, entries for the three shorter distances six, 21 and 50km are sold out and only a few 100km slots are available,” he said.

“Certain main trails within the park are still closed due to fallen vegetation, so the 21, 50 and 100km courses for the 2022 event have been changed. Participants are advised to go to the event website for details.”

With the passage of time and increasing and changing commitments of the Duncan’s Run Committee, it was reluctantly decided that the 2022 event would be run for the final time.

Duncan’s vision has become reality, trail running in general is booming, Tarra Bulga National Park and the Grand Strzelecki Track have become more well-known and visited, due in part to Duncan’s Run and the associated publicity.

This historic run through a magical part of Gunaikurnai Country will take place Saturday - one last time.

Trafalgar’s new green officially opened LAWN BOWLS

By LIAM DURKIN

TRAFALGAR Bowls Club members and guests are set to benefit from year-round play, thanks to the installation of a synthetic green.

Not only will the new addition allow bowls to be played during winter, but players will be able to enjoy consistent speeds and conditions regardless of heavy rain.

Additionally, the synthetic green is set to lower maintenance costs and volunteer hours associated with maintaining a traditional grass green.

Trafalgar Bowls Club has kept one grass green to compliment the synthetic.

The synthetic was formally opened recently, with club chairman Ian Miles, bowls section president Helen Brodie and Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Danielle Green cutting the ribbon.

Amazingly, the Trafalgar Bowls Club raised more than $60,000 for the project, in what was a tremendous act of defiance after events in the last few years saw the club, through no fault of its own, run into severe financial trouble.

Miles was beaming when he took to the podium to speak at the unveiling.

“It is with great pride that I stand here today, with and on behalf of the Trafalgar Bowls Club membership for the opening of our new state-ofthe-art synthetic bowling green,” he said.

The Harriers delighted with new course

ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By IAN CORNTHWAITE

PERFECT for its simplicity and enjoyable, undulating terrain lacking in bitumen and concrete, the Harriers’ new 5km TraralgonMorwell Bike Path course proved a successful out-and-back affair.

Participant numbers were similar to the previous Thursday, included several new faces, and exhibited the usual representation for Harriers’ events of close to a 50:50 ratio of females to males.

A significant improver this week was relative newcomer to the Harriers, Kade King, who sliced 1min 40sec off his 5km race time of just three weeks previous.

Among the many strong personal outcomes of the event were the close tussles between Carly Korab and Kate Lindrea and also Collette Hofmann and Tania Whitehead – both duos finishing just seconds apart.

Not to be outdone, Glenn Gates and Liz Kenney raced identical times.

The three quickest outright finishers included Ian Cornthwaite, a very competitive Shane Gavin and veteran stalwart, Darrel Cross.

Marathon devotee Liz Kenney dominated the female results, followed by Danielle Wright less than two minutes behind.

Tomorrow’s event is the 5km Traralgon Racecourse – McNairn Road circuit.

Arrival well before 6pm to register is anticipated. The run will be followed by a Harriers’ Club dinner.

A local iconic event on many people’s minds currently is the DFP Recruitment – Latrobe City Community Fun Run and Walk from Kernot Hall on Sunday, March 27.

This 5km event, kicking off at 9am, aims to encourage fitness in a fun and inclusive way and also provides spot prizes, awards for various categories and a barbecue.

Entry is via traralgonharriers.org.au

Well bowled: Baw Baw Shire councillor Darren Wallace, Trafalgar Bowls Club chairman Ian Miles, Parliamentary Secretary Danielle Green, Trafalgar Bowls Club bowls sections president Helen Brodie, Baw Baw Shire councillor Peter Kostos and deputy mayor Annemarie McCabe declare the new synthetic green officially open. photograph liam durkin “As our members know in the last four years our club struggled through the worst financial times in the club’s 107-year history - our members and our entire Trafalgar community know how close we came to closing the doors.

“But we survived due to a lot of hard work and fundraisers, led by former chairman Ian Riley and his committees, and because our members love lawn bowls, we love the club, we love being part of this community and we enjoy the

challenges and friendships formed on and off the greens.”

Sensing the need to have bowling available 12 months of the year, the Trafalgar Bowls Club applied for a local sport infrastructure grant to the state government through Baw Baw Shire.

The application was successful, and the state government kicked-in $134,000.

“We could only dream of what it would be like to have a new synthetic playing surface, none of us could have imagined what a positive effect it would have on our club and the community,” Miles said.

“When it was announced that the grant application had been successful, an enormous mood-change swept through the club and members.

“With renewed enthusiasm we held many working bees, where we improved and upgraded other parts of the club. What we witnessed was a sense of pride and empowerment that the Trafalgar Bowls Club was about to flourish again.”

Trafalgar now has a Berrys Bowling System Ultra-Cool synthetic model - the first of its kind to be installed in West Gippsland.

Miles said the benefits had been far-reaching.

“Since we commenced playing on our synthetic green I can confirm that it has reinvigorated our players and it has attracted new members,” he said.

Trafalgar Bowls Club now has close to 150 members and has added extra teams to Saturday and midweek Pennant competition within the Strzelecki Bowls North Region.

All is set for a bumper LVSL season

good work. The Red Devils will clash with Fortuna in the match of the round. Fortuna were a tad disappointing last season to finish fifth with eight wins, four losses and three draws but on recent form should finish higher this season. Success in the Kendall Cup has whetted the appetite of the Lions who want to add more silverware to their 2022 collection.

Moe has added Oscar Sceney from Warragul and Monash pair Brendan Ruddell and Ethan Lawrence to its roster, along with Moe junior Campbell Young up from Gippsland Under16s. Outs are Sam and Max Lietzau, Jobie Heusmann and Tanner Pyle.

Fortuna has appointed two former players to the Den for the 2022 season in Hayden Tanti and Joel Pirotta.

Tanti and Pirotta are looking forward to instilling passion and tactics to unlock the potential in the squad and bring back success to Fortuna that it has desperately been missing since the club’s last title win in 2011.

New and returning players are defender Alex Bowman, who is back after spending time at Newborough/Yallourn.

Daniel Cooper and Ray Allred join the club and will be key inclusions across the centre of the park with existing players Jordan Campbell, Olly Spiteri and the evergreen Shayne Cassar.

Ryan McAuley makes a return to the ground that his grandfather and father have called home since the club’s inception and will no doubt be another exciting option up top with Damon Scott.

SOCCER LVSL

By LAURIE WILLIAMS

THE Latrobe Valley Soccer League kicks off this weekend as players prepare for the opening round in anticipation of what could be a bumper season after the disappointment of the last two seasons with COVID restrictions.

Although some restrictions may still be in place the season looks to show promise as clubs ramp up practice games and competitions.

The only downside is Olympians who have decided to field only a second division team, this will be first time in their history they have forsaken the senior team.

Currently all other clubs will be fielding seniors and reserves while some clubs will be missing second division teams and women’s squads.

Traralgon City is now fielding a women’s team.

Eagles ready to rock the finals

CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

AND they reckon Robert Flower had to wait a long time to play a final.

While the Demons legend might have played 269 games before experiencing finals action, surely even he didn’t go down a path as taxing as Traralgon West Cricket Club stalwart Tim Fitch.

Fitch will finally get to taste A Grade finals cricket this weekend - 15 years after making his debut for the Eagles.

To say Fitch has had the patience of a saint would be something of an understatement. To say Traralgon West has been through a tough time to get to this point would well and truly go beyond that.

The Eagles haven’t played finals in A Grade since 2003/04. Fitch hasn’t played in ‘a’ final since he was a 16-year-old in C Grade.

Fitch, along with players the likes of Ben Edebohls, Reece Falla, Adam Thow and Luke Phillips have battled through the dark ages of the last few years, which included going five seasons without winning a game, to come out the other side to witness what is sure to be a watershed moment for the club.

Given this recent history, Fitch said it was hard not to get caught up in the emotion as the side prepares to take on Moe in this weekend’s Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League semi-final.

“Since knowing we were going to make finals it has been brought up quite a bit,” he said.

“All of the older boys that were here 19 years ago kept mentioning it to us. They’re all extremely relieved, happy for the playing group.

“We went five years without winning a game but I think everyone forgets basically in the space of eight years we won three games.

“It is a long effort but just being able to make it now justifies those years and now hopefully we can win the semi and get into the big dance.”

In looking at reasons why Traralgon West struggled for so long, Fitch believed a combination of factors meant the Eagles constantly found themselves on something of a rebuilding treadmill - always feeling as though they were going forward without actually moving from where they were.

“It happens at every club, people have kids or they move away with work, you lose your best batsman, best bowler, they drop out, blokes retire, they step down through the grades and they don’t want to play A Grade,” he said.

“We went through a really tough period where most nights we’d have eight people selected for a two-day game in A Grade and then we’d be calling

Beyond loyal: Traralgon West Cricket Club legend Tim Fitch will finally get to play in an A Grade final this weekend - 15 years after making his debut. photograph liam durkin blokes to see if they would be willing to play two-day cricket. When I was captain there was no point berating the boys if they weren’t performing how you want them to perform because your ability is your ability, you just had to make the most of it, go out and have the best fun as possible.

“There was one game I captained knowing we were going to lose. Ex Students are a powerhouse and were a powerhouse back then. It was a 35 degree day, we had a team that, no offence to the boys, I just thought ‘how are we going to beat this team?’ I think they declared 260 after 60 overs.

“Whilst you do try and go into every game to win I think that was for me probably our lowest point, knowing that I couldn’t see us winning a game of cricket, whereas I try to go into every game thinking that we can win.

“Then we sort-of transitioned, we had enough young kids come through at one stage and we just said ‘well we’re losing anyway we might as well give the young kids a go’”.

Taking hits for long term growth, the kids that were initially thrown to the wolves such as Josh Monacella and Ihraam Zafar have emerged to now be among key players in the Eagles line-up.

Monacella is averaging more than 30 and Zafar made a first grade ton when he was 18.

Although results might have suggested otherwise, the Eagles experienced a few small mercies in recent seasons to suggest they were on the way up.

In 2018/19, Traralgon West defeated a Centrals team that played in the grand final.

Last season they defeated CATS reverse-outright a fortnight before that same side went on to win the premiership.

“It has been a slow burn,” Fitch said.

“We really got off-field right, getting training set-up right, getting facilities.

“If you look at results throughout the club C Grade and B Grade have built quietly over the last few years, then it transitioned to A Grade so we’ve sort of built from the ground-up.

“We built slowly through player recruitment and we’ve been around the mark, two years ago we missed out (on finals) by two points, lost the last game, had we of won that we would have played finals, last year we reverse-outright the team that won the flag and missed out by a point.”

In taking the next step to break into finals, Fitch said a greater finishing quality and simply knowing how to win had proven the key ingredient.

“I really think that if you don’t know how to win you can’t win,” he said.

“Over the last five years we’ve lost three/four games by 30/40 runs which is nothing. It took us to scrape over the line a couple of times and then probably losing a few that we should have won to see there has been a bit of a change about how to win games of cricket, I think that is just as important as having the ability to win games of cricket.

“I think the boys are realising they’re good enough and learning how to win the boys can be optimistic knowing they can mix it with anyone.”

Traralgon West has staved off no shortage of challenges on the way to this finals qualification, from playing home games on the rough grounds of St Paul’s to considering its A Grade future altogether.

To their credit they have stuck it out - lesser clubs would have given up years ago.

“We were approached a couple of times to potentially go down to B Grade, it was a discussion we did have as a club,” Fitch said.

“But it is really hard once you take that step back from A Grade to then get a side back up to the top division. I think doing what we did was the best option because at least you’ve still got an A Grade team, you can still recruit players (and) your juniors stick around because they know they’ve got something to strive for in the higher grade.

“Ben Edebohls could have left, Rami (Zafar) has stuck around, Monas (Monacella) is sticking around, Hayden Kimpton has come across.”

Despite the troubles on-field, Fitch said the club has been able to remain upbeat thanks to

a dedicated band of members uniting to weather various storms.

“There is two ways to look at it, you can be positive or negative,” he said.

“I think what was key was that we are all really good mates. The fact is that we do play cricket with each other but every chance we get we are around to each other’s house having a barbecue, we’re all catching up with each other and it is not just the A Grade unit it is the whole club so everyone gets along really well.

“That has had something to do with the slow success we are starting to have. You don’t want to let your mate down.

“A club is nothing without the people that are inside, I just think this club is fantastic. You’ve got families like the Griffiths, Sammy Varsaci, Paul Quinlan who have been around for years and they just keep turning up because of the people.

“The playing group is very aware of that and we are doing the best we can to repay the faith they have shown in us. These are the guys that were turning up when we weren’t even competitive, they kept coming to games, to training, helping us.”

As for why Fitch has stuck by Traralgon West for so long, the man simply known as ‘Club’ said he felt at home in the Eagles nest.

“I’m a pretty loyal type of person. This is my club, they gave me the first crack at playing A Grade,” he said.

“When I first came into the team, we lost all of our senior players, so us as juniors going back 14/15 years ago got given the opportunity to take control of the team, given opportunities to bat in higher positions, bowl in higher positions. I just thought going through the lean period the best way for me to repay that was to stick around.

“The blokes who had senior roles in the team back then didn’t want to leave the work for someone else to do to pick up the slack, you keep losing players it just mounts the pressure on someone else to try and have to navigate which can be quite tough.”

So, are Traralgon West daring to dream?

“Yeah, why not?” Fitch said with an undeniable sense of fearlessness.

“You don’t play not to win.

“Of course you think about it, at the end of the day we are two wins away from being premiers, but that goes for three other teams as well.

As for what a premiership would mean: “It would mean everything … absolutely everything,” Fitch said.

“Reward for everyone’s patience, if you sat me down three years ago and said ‘you guys could win a flag in five years’, I wouldn’t believe it.

“I couldn’t even put it into words how much it would mean.”

MOE Football-Netball Club senior players recently went on their pre-season camp.

The two-day camp saw players undertake a range of physical and mental challenges arranged by new senior coach Declan Keilty and assistant Shane Paynter.

Somewhat fittingly, the camp was held in Kilcunda, just a short drive from Wonthaggi, a town colloquially known as ‘Moe by the sea’.

Players arrived on Saturday to set up camp, before being split into four teams to take part in an Amazing Race type course along Kilcunda Beach.

A free feed at the Ocean View Hotel that night awaited the winner, while the losing team had to pay for drinks during happy half-hour.

The course saw a one digit code given to teams upon the completion of challenges, which included filling a bucket with water from the ocean without moving the bucket from the beach, and solving the following riddle: Once upon a time a farmer went to a market and purchased a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat. But crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases: the wolf, the goat, or the cabbage.

If left unattended together, the wolf would eat the goat, or the goat would eat the cabbage.

How did the farmer carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact?

Following the course, players took part in a training session at nearby Dalyston before congregating to discuss the season ahead.

At the camp, Jacob Wood was announced as returning senior captain, while Jordan Ceppi was named vice-captain, along with Scott Van Dyk who has been added to the leadership group.

Glengarry ends Toon’s time CRICKET TDCA

GLENGARRY won through to the Traralgon and District Cricket Association grand final following victory over Toongabbie in the preliminary final on Saturday.

Toongabbie won the toss and batted on a beautiful looking Fred King Oval.

It started shakily though as openers Michael Dunn (1) and Tom Shippen (8) were both out with the score on 16.

Rob Wheildon then fell for three and the Rams were up against it as Cam Graham was bowling superbly, taking the first three wickets of the match.

A change in bowlers then kept the wickets tumbling as Tim Dunn was caught behind of Nathan Freitag and James Chalmers got out to Hamish Busk with the score 5/38.

Jason Veneman at this stage was doing what he does best and holding up an end while still being

able to rotate the strike. Veneman was joined by Kev Stoddart and the two batsmen were able to fight back, putting on a partnership of 50 before Stoddart tried taking on Al Jenkin and lost.

Zak Russell didn’t trouble the scorers and Jason Veneman was finally out for a determined 43 from 112 balls which had the Magpie players starting to think about batting and what they needed to do to get this game won and done.

With the score on 99 number 11 batsman Sam Moran joined number 10 Matt Whitechurch and the pair was able to push the Glengarry bowlers and make a partnership of 33 for the last wicket.

This partnership brought the score up to 132 which would give the Toongabbie bowlers at least something to bowl at and hopefully keep them in the game.

Glengarry’s attack has been good all season, but the star for the Magpies was Graham who deservedly finished the innings with figures of 5/21 from 8.5 overs while the next best was Jenkin with 3/27.

Glengarry knew that the new ball would be key

to Toongabbie’s chances of an upset and the in-form Jenkin would want a good hit on the wicket that the grand final will be played on this week.

However, his removal to the bowling of Shippen with the score on 18 may have had some nerves jittering in the sheds.

A dropped catch off Frank Marks didn’t help proceedings and with Freitag walking in at three it wasn’t until the score was on 70 that Marks would eventually depart for 39 which included two big sixes.

Sam Marks then joined Freitag as the two put on another 40 before Freitag fell just two runs short of raising his bat for 50 and although Marks followed 10 runs later with Hamish Busk in quick succession the damage had been done and it left superstar bat Paul Henry and the bouncers friend Chris Dunn to get the team home five down in the 36th over.

Young gun Matt Barry was the best bowler for the Rams, taking two wickets, but it was a classy display by the home team who will go into the grand final confident.

Rovers, Ex Students secure flags CRICKET TDCA

ROVERS Cricket Club celebrated last Saturday, after winning the B Grade grand final in the TDCA. Rovers, who had finished the regular season in second-place, took on fourth-placed Gormandale in the decider at Roger Ries Oval.

The wicket looked a treat and when Gormandale won the toss they had no hesitation in batting first.

Things didn’t go to plan for the Tigers though as their top five batsmen were all out for scores of six or under, due largely to the bowling of Steve Carney who has using the conditions perfectly.

John Northey then set about rebuilding the innings with Gormandale captain Danny Smith and although it was slow going there was still wickets in hand and the potential to score quickly late in the innings was there.

The Rovers bowlers just wouldn’t give the Tigers anything as middle over bowlers Ricky Martin (1/15 from nine overs) and Greg Bramwell (0/9 from nine overs) were miserly. This meant Gormandale couldn’t get any sort of freedom and when it was time to go Northey got out on 29.

Tom Gafa tried hard for a good 17 not out from 26 balls at the end but Rovers squeezed the batsmen and the Tigers finished 6/87 after their 45 overs.

The wicket wasn’t the easiest to score on but it certainly didn’t play too much of a part in Gormandale’s lack of scoring, the Rovers bowlers were simply outstanding with the best being Steve Carney finishing with 3/20 from his nine overs.

Gormandale was going to need 10 wickets to win this game and with the score on seven opening batsman Alex Rathbone was back in the sheds and the Gormandale tails were up. Shannon Grass then came to the crease and would be an important wicket for both teams as a cheap dismissal would give the Tigers a chance.

Grass and other opener Liam Little batted perfectly for the conditions though and would go on to put on 48 for the second wicket. A couple more wickets would fall but the danger man in Grass was still in as he carefully got to a well-made 50 with the win only five runs away. The last runs took painstakingly long to get but eventually the game was won and Rovers passed Gormandale’s score in the 39th over four wickets down.

Grass was superb ending up 52 not out in a match winning innings. Gormandale made Rovers earn it but ultimately they just didn’t have enough runs on the board.

Scott Gamble was the only multiple wicket taker for the Tigers finishing with 2/18 from 8.5 overs.

The umpires’ adjudged Grass man-of-thematch for his efforts as Rovers lifted their first premiership in any grade for 27 years.

THE C Grade grand final was billed as a potential run fest with the game being played on the postage stamp sized Village Green, Toongabbie.

The atmosphere was electric as two of the most supported clubs in the TDCA set up camp at the ground in anticipation for an all-time classic.

Yarram batted first and it was on from ball one as Lucas Jenkins hit Trevor Kosterman for six on the first and second ball of the day.

In a flurry of hard hitting shots the opener quickly raced to 52 from just 18 balls which included seven sixes until Kosterman had him out caught.

It set the tone for the day and gave Yarram a solid platform to then build a big score, but as they do, Ex Students pulled themselves back into the match with some good bowling from future star Lucas Richards and Kosterman who both ended up with three-wicket hauls.

When Mathew Earles was dismissed for 44 from 48 balls the tail fell away quickly for the Pelicans as Paul Hennessy mopped up the lower order to keep Yarram & District to 182.

Sharks bite: Ex Students celebrates winning the C Grade flag in the TDCA. Regular openers Steven Thomson and Paul Richards, who had made a whopping 200 run partnership the week before, could only muster 29 for the first wicket with both of them out in consecutive overs.

It meant Darian Millington came to the crease though and batting with a mixture of class and power he made sure the run rate stayed high for Ex Students as he crafted a beautiful captains knock of 78 not out from 97 balls.

Some late wickets had the Pelicans dreaming of an unlikely victory but Kosterman and Millington got the team home in the 39th over in what was a cracking game of C Grade cricket.

The game had it all including blinding catches, boundaries galore and incredible atmosphere and when Millington was named man-of-the-match in Ex Students 14th C Grade premiership it was an amazing spectacle with the crowd staying the whole time.

Sharks miss out despite big win CRICKET LVDCL

By LIAM DURKIN

THE regular season of the Latrobe Valley and District Cricket League came to a conclusion last Saturday.

Finals positions in Premier A were more-or-less sewn up heading into the round, while combatants in A Grade entered their matches knowing they would be playing the same opponent in the semi-final.

CATS had an emphatic victory over Mirboo North.

Batting first at John Black Oval, the CATS top order spent some quality time out in the middle to prime itself for this week.

Jamie Cochrane top scored with a career high 149, aided by Nathan Harrup and Ben Julin who scored 47 and 38 respectively in a total of 8/297 from 50 overs.

Will Lawrey ended his season with figures of 3/61 and Callum Polo took 2/4.

In reply, Mirboo North was shot out for 107.

An attacking 32 off 31 balls from Iezaz Ul Hassan was the only real bright spot in a Tigers innings that lasted less than 30 overs.

Tinashe Panyangara took 4/24 off eight overs, with three of his poles unassisted, while Rory Hare and Josh Keyhoe each nabbed a pair of wickets.

The scorebook read ‘stumped Keyhoe bowled Keyhoe’ as Dylan whipped the bails off the bowling of his older brother.

Elsewhere, Mirboo North fielded what may well have been the strongest C Grade team ever assembled.

The Tigers side featured no less than four players who were part of the Premier A premiership last season in Shane Peters, Dale Banks, Damien Turner and Jacob Blair.

IF you are going to win the premiership it looks like you are going to have to beat Churchill.

The Cobras could not have sent a more ominous sign on the eve of finals after dispatching secondplaced Morwell by six wickets.

Bowling first, Churchill routed the Tigers for 97, before getting the required runs with little-to-no trouble.

Morwell left hander Blake Mills made 26 batting at five, but could only do so much as the end scorecard showed more batsman making ducks than double digits.

Steve Warr was undeniable as always, returning figures of 4/18 from 10 overs with five maidens.

John Keighran was also miserly, taking 2/18 from 10 with three maidens, while Ryan Harvey took 2/15.

Brendan Mason then made sure of the result, scoring an unbeaten 50 off 53 balls.

Mark Cukier took 2/13 for Morwell.

LATROBE defeated Raiders.

The cruelty that is cricket came in spades for the Sharks, who despite winning with a bonus point, missed out on finals by percentage.

Latrobe decided chasing was the best way to go at Peter Siddle Oval, and went into their batting innings needing 122.

Raiders fell apart at the top of the order in their effort, at one stage crashing to 4/11.

Skipper Liam Maynard was forced to do most of the heavy lifting, and batted for close to three hours to make 52.

Best bowlers for Latrobe were Navin Gomez (3/31) and Tyron Gamage (3/34).

Sharks legend Anthony Bloomfield then proceeded to make 61 from 78 balls opening up, as Latrobe set about chewing down the total in double-quick time.

Ronnie Chokununga swung from the boot laces and connected with most, as he smashed 25 from 23 balls with two sixes.

Latrobe scored the winning runs for the loss of only two wickets after 25 overs.

TRAFALGAR won by seven wickets against Centrals in A Grade.

Only one point separated the teams’ leading into the match, meaning the winner would secure not only a choice of venue for the semi-final, but immunity of sorts should weather intervene.

Those looking at the Centrals team sheet may have seen an interesting name pop up in Coby Edmondstone.

The top order bat played grade cricket the previous week in the South Australian Cricket Association and before Christmas was playing WACA first grade.

Batting first, Centrals took themselves to a steady position of 1/45, before running into some trouble and finding themselves 5/63.

From there things did not improve a great deal, as the Lions were eventually bowled out for 111, of which captain Rob Webber made 46 It was Zack Brown’s day as he bowled exceptionally well with the new ball, taking 4/19 from 10 overs.

Going out to chase, the Ships lost a couple early, but mature hands from Rhys Holdsworth and Aydan Connolly saw the team into a winning position.

Connolly and Holdsworth put on 56 for the third wicket.

The latter saw the game out with a terrific 71 off 72 balls, highlighted by an outrageous lofted off drive that saw him hold the pose for what seemed an eternity.

Trafalgar held its vote count the night following the match, where Connolly took out the A Grade best-and-fairest.

As a club always planning ahead, Connolly was officially announced A Grade captain for next season, taking over from Holdsworth.

MOE easily accounted for Traralgon West.

The Eagles elected to bat first at Ted Summerton Reserve, and made 179 from their allotted overs.

Josh Monacella scored 55 off 63 balls and Rob Wilkie 48 off 63 to lead the way.

Wicket takers for Moe were Royce Colgrace (3/28), Sean Spiteri (2/18) and ‘Reverend’ Clinton Taylor (2/30).

The Lions then got the runs with minimal fuss.

Riley Baldi and Noah Kane put on 54 for the opening wicket, with Baldi scoring a busy 45 from 50 balls.

Andrew Philip also kept the scoreboard ticking over, ending on 58 not out from 56 balls, while Spiteri chipped in with 30 and maybe even snuck in for a league vote.

JEERALANG-BOOLARRA had the bye.

Get involved: Traralgon Harriers president Phill Mayer is encouraging locals to take part in this year’s fun run.

Get your entries in now for the annual fun run ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By LIAM DURKIN

THE Traralgon Harriers Community Fun Run and Walk is on Sunday, March 27.

This year’s run will take participants on a scenic route around Morwell, starting and finishing at Kernot Hall.

Participants can run or walk the five kilometre course at their leisure, either as a team, individual or family, while those 12 years-and-under can run the 1.5km.

Harriers’ president Phill Mayer encouraged those interested to get along.

“It is the 24th running of the Community Fun Run, it is something that the Traralgon Harriers do for the community, it is part of our charter to increase awareness and opportunity for community to be involved in health and fitness,” he said.

“We partner with a lot of really wonderful organisations, DFP Recruitment are our major sponsor, they make the event a possibility for us.

“It is all about raising money for Rotary Centenary House.”

Mayer said the event was open to everyone, with an emphasis on participation rather than winning.

“It caters to all abilities, from super-speedy runners that will try to crack some good times, right through to our recreational and social runners and walkers who will just come along and push a pram,” he said.

“Schools get involved, businesses get involved, sports clubs, there is an award for the greatest entry, number of entrants in those organisations.

“All children get a medal. We have thousands of dollars in spot prizes so even if you are not a champion runner and you don’t think you are going to get a podium finish there is a good chance that you might pick up a spot prize on the day.

“Participation with the community is key, it really is about getting people off the coach and introducing them to the club that we are a welcoming club, most of our members are social and recreational members - not Athletics Victoria standard representatives.

“It doesn’t matter what your ability is, the record is just under 17 minutes for the 5km, some people go out to chase that but most people just want to come along and have a run, I’m personally going to run with my daughter and we’ll just chat, encourage and cheer people on.”

The Fun Run starts at 9am on Sunday, March 27.

Other activities on the day will include a massage tent, shoe displays and an ice cream van.

All on the line: Ex Students will play Glengarry for the TDCA premiership this Saturday.

photographs supplied

Sharks and Magpies set to square-off in TDCA decider has already been shown and most likely will be used again.

Add in the evergreen Andy Matthews, swing bowler Kade Duncan, miserly medium pacer Jack Robertson and the death bowling specialist Mitch Harrison and it’s a bowling attack that will at the very least restrict Glengarry’s free scoring ability.

Compare that to Glengarry’s attack and it seems to be where the Sharks may have the edge as the Magpies only have the one frontline spinner in Jenkin with medium to fast bowlers making up the rest of the attack.

CRICKET TDCA

THE TDCA A Grade grand final is set to be one for the ages, with the two best teams taking part in what should be an entertaining fixture right from ball one.

After a five-wicket win over Toongabbie last week, Glengarry will come into this final brimming with confidence as they also have the luxury of a home ground advantage.

Glengarry has been in fantastic form since Round 9 when they capitulated against Ex Students after cruising to victory chasing 190 and being 4/116 only to lose their last six wickets for just 30 runs.

Since then the Magpies have had huge wins, beating Rovers by nine wickets in just 24 overs, making 4/199 against Toongabbie, 5/222 against Gormandale and a whopping 5/258 against Yarram & District before finals, indicating the top order is in great touch.

The Magpies have a potent top five but also a hard hitting middle to lower order as well, all capable of big runs and with Al Jenkin, Nat Freitag and Frank Marks all having superb seasons they will be eyeing off a huge score come grand final day.

Ex Students had last weekend off after winning the qualifying final a fortnight ago to secure a grand final berth.

The Sharks are in a completely different boat compared to Glengarry, where their last few innings haven’t seen too much come their way.

The last game they played was a 20-over-a-side match, their round 14 fixture had them nearly lose to Gormandale chasing 55 and only batting for 16 overs and they took on Imps the week before that and only needed 24 overs to chase down that total which means the Sharks have batted a total of 59.3 overs in the last four weeks so they could be very much underdone.

With the Glengarry wicket being in tremendous condition all season it won’t be an issue at all this

Where it’ll be won: Early wickets will be crucial as all season the bulk of every teams’ runs has been made against the new ball. For Glengarry, Jenkin and Freitag are the big wickets early while dismissing Stockdale up top for Ex Students will be huge. The middle overs may be the difference in this match with Ex Students specialist middle over bats Rick Battista and Mitch Harris still able to score against the older ball whereas Glengarry will have to fight tooth-and-nail for every run against the Sharks tight lines and excellent field placings.

Key man: Glengarry star Nat Freitag will be looking to go big in the decider.

The match-up: Captains Lee Stockdale (Ex Students) and Nathan Freitag (Glengarry) will be the key match-up. They are both big game players who rise to the occasion and will have a massive influence on the match. Whichever player has the better game is almost a certainty to walk away as a winning captain.

weekend and with star studded batting line-ups in both camps it will be the bowlers who win the game for their side.

Ex Students has the better one-day attack with three champion spinners in their team.

Lee Stockdale, James Pryde and Michael Warne continue to be a troublesome three headed monster for every team they take on and were the reason for Glengarry’s downfall in Round 9 so the blueprint

Prediction: Will Ex Students be underdone or primed and hungry for the contest? Will Glengarry let the pressure get to them and the top order fail for the first time this season? It’s hard to say but on paper Glengarry should be favourite. They have everything going right for them in this final including the home ground advantage but Ex Students are just a magnificent limited overs side and could easily walk away with the win. The reigning premier will go back-to-back this season but it’ll be a final over thriller that won’t disappoint. Glengarry to win.

Gippsland United eyes debut game

Page 54 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 16 March, 2022

BASKETBALL

GIPPSLAND United will make its Big V debut this Saturday.

The team has been established as the region’s club to participate in the Big V and Victorian Junior Basketball League.

Years of lobbying and consultation culminated in the creation of Gippsland United, which is a joint project between the Traralgon Amateur Basketball Association and the Combined Gippsland Basketball Association (also known as Latrobe City Energy).

With a now truly all-encompassing team flying the Gippsland flag in the sport of basketball at an elite level, it is hoped Gippsland United will provide a pathway for players to make their way to the National Basketball League, or even to the United States and the NBA.

Basketball Victoria fully supported the Gippsland Basketball Elite Pathway and Participation Project and review leading to the creation of Gippsland United led by Michelle Harris from GippSport in 2020.

Some big names will be on display at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium on Saturday, including United imports Brandon Armstrong and Makenzie Miller.

Local lights are also tipped to shine bright, with college player Jordan Pyle and state players Ben Waller, Emily Scholtes and Asha Nightingale selected.

Gippsland United is the first senior Gippsland basketball representative team in three years.

The men’s side will be coached by Korumburra’s Scott McKenzie while well-known local basketball coach Gail Macfarlane will call the shots for the women’s team.

Australia that has what Falcons has achieved.”

Falcons’ life member and close friend Peter Viggiano has been busy arranging the legends match, with some past players and officials even travelling from interstate to say farewell to Di Fabrizio.

“All the players I’ve been speaking to they would never miss this day for quids,” Viggiano said.

In remembering Di Fabrizio, Viggiano said he was “one in a million”.

“An extraordinary person, would do anything for anyone. Well recognised within the soccer world all over Australia. A couple of our players even got married at his house, the list just goes on and on.

“A true gentleman and this day is well deserved for the great man.”

Falcons 2000 is planning to have a memorial cup established to be played in Di Fabrizio’s honour in coming seasons.

THE legacy of the most exalted figure in Gippsland soccer, possibly Gippsland sport, will be remembered this Saturday.

A litany of players, officials and patrons are expected to descend on Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium to pay their respects to the late-great Don Di Fabrizio OAM. The legendary Falcons 2000 Soccer Club patron died recently age 88.

Di Fabrizio was a giant of the Latrobe Valley, making an inedible impact on business and the community.

He was at the forefront of developing Immigration Park, Morwell, and most famously, as president of Morwell Falcons Soccer Club.

Through Di Fabrizio’s leadership, Falcons climbed from being a small country club competing in a local competition, all the way to the National Soccer League.

This achievement has gone down in history as quite possibly the greatest sporting story in country Victoria.

It will be an emotion charged evening on Saturday, as Falcons players of today step foot on the pitch for the opening round of the Latrobe Valley Soccer League in front of the very grand stand bearing the Di Fabrizio name.

A legends game will also be held, welcoming past Falcons players and coaches from the NSL days such as Jimmy McLean, Manny Gelagotis and Harry Bingham.

Falcons 2000 president Tony Salvatore said while no amount of acknowledgment could ever do justice to Di Fabrizio, the club was hoping the day provided a fitting tribute nonetheless.

“We’ll do whatever we can to make it a wonderful send-off for him,” he said.

“He was a wonderful man, who not only did the talking but would get on his bike and do whatever had to be done for the club.

“Even in his late 80s he would still come and watch games.

“There is no other like Don. He has been a tremendous inspiration to not only us presidents but the committee, the players, when they use to see Don it was silence, it was like ‘let’s hear what he has to say’.

“He would always have a story to tell, his memory was fantastic and his ability to deliver a story every detail was there.

“When I got involved Don had been retired for some time. I invited him over to my place for dinner with his wife to get an idea of what I can do to follow his footsteps.

“He said ‘put yourself around good people, have a vision and you’ll do well’”.

While his accomplishments were many, Salvatore believed Di Fabrizio’s work in getting Falcons into the NSL would ensure his legacy stood the test of time.

“It is a vision, a dream that he had, and he never gave up,” he said.

“If you get the chance to read his book (My Years With The Falcons), he tells stories of all the setbacks he had. Any normal person would have given up and said ‘no, this is enough, I’ll stay at state league’, but he continued to just push and push and push.

“It is a wonderful story - it put Morwell on the map. There is no other history, in my opinion, in

TRARALGON basketballer Ben Waller has been selected in the Australia Under-17 men’s squad.

The 31-man squad recently made their way to the Australian Institute of Sport Centre of Excellence to start their journey towards the FIBA Asia Under-17 Cup, in Kuwait this June.

Melbourne United NBL championship assistant coach Justin Schueller will be at the helm of the team for the 2022 campaign.

With a busy schedule of FIBA youth events scheduled for 2022, the Under-17 Women and Men will start preparations for the FIBA Asia Cup and FIBA World Cup while the Under-19 squads also commence their journeys to the FIBA Oceania Championships.

Athletes for the four squads have been identified from performances at the 2021 Australian Junior Championships, as well as their respective State Performance Programs as part of the National Performance Pathway.
