Anzac Day picture special P8-9

Melanie’s MCG honour

By Tristan O’Kane tristan.o@lvvoice.com.au

WHEN Able Seaman Melanie Wilkinson, from Jeeralang, played The Last Post at the Essendon and Collingwood Match at the MCG on ANZAC Day, it was as much for her grandmother as for herself. “She was very special to me and would have been so proud of me today playing the Last Post at the football,” Ms Wilkinson said of her father’s mother, who passed away in 2003. “Her father was a

lighthorseman in WWII, his name was Skipper. “

in the short time she has been a recruit.

Ms Wilkinson’s father Douglas also did national service in the army.

The crowds have sometimes been large but not quite as big as this ANZAC Day: “I wasn’t really nervous at ﬁrst, but then I was right before I went on and everyone was standing waiting and it was so silent.”

She said she felt “proud and privileged to be playing, it’s amazing just stepping out there (onto the MCG). It was a pretty amazing feeling”. Ms Wilkinson began playing the cornet from the tender age of nine. She joined the Royal Australian Navy ﬁve years ago and has travelled extensively with the Navy Band

Within her ﬁrst year of joining the Navy, Ms Wilkinson went on a sea trip to Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Russia, Japan and the Philippines with the band. Continued on P2

Teen arrested POLICE have charged a male, 15, with aggravated burglary, theft and assault following two incidents in Churchill during April. The youth has been remanded in custody and will appear in the Latrobe Valley Children’s Court at a later date. His co-accused, a 22-year-old North Melbourne man, was arrested at Flinders Street station on April 22. He has also been remanded in custody and will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court at a later date. In the ﬁrst incident, police allege a knife-wielding male threw a woman to the ground before ﬂeeing with a packet of cigarettes. The incident occurred in Churchill’s Glendonald Estate. In the second incident, a male is alleged to have entered a Glendonald Estate home and demanded that the occupant, a 19-year-old woman, hand over cash and car keys.

THEY play often at ceremonial occasions, parades and perform monthly recitals at the HMAS Recruit School. Three years ago, she played in Tonga for the coronation of the King of Tonga, which she agreed was a rather momentous occasion. At the end of May, the band will travel to Brunei for the Military Tattoo. So what do her friends and family think? Ms Wilkinson plays modest: “Most of my friends think it’s pretty cool, probably more than I do!” In the Latrobe Valley on the day of her performance, Mum and Dad in Jeeralang,

her German Oma and school friends were all watching her play on the television: “I’ve had a lot of text messages.” When the Voice spoke to Ms Wilkinson after her performance, the crowd was cheering for the start of the footy match. She was asked what she would be doing to celebrate: “I would like to try and watch a bit of the game,” she said. Unfortunately for Ms Wilkinson, her beloved Bombers went down to the Pies, the only downside to a truly tremendous day.

Road repairs underway By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

WORK has begun to repair roads affected by landslips as a result of recent heavy rains - and will continue for the next four to six weeks. Budgeree Rd, Boolarra, was one of the worst-hit roads, with 19 landslips as a result of the April 10 to 15 rains. Other roads heavily impacted by landslips include Glendonald Rd in Churchill and Jeeralang West Rd. Jody O’Kane, manager infrastructure operations at Latrobe City, said the council had inspected the roads affected to assess damage. “We had a look at Budgeree Rd in Boolarra, Glendonald Rd in Churchill and Jeeralang West Rd, as well as a few others,” Mr O’Kane said. “We’re going to be doing some works on the roads and work has already started on Budgeree Rd.” Mr O’Kane said Latrobe City had spoken with HVP about Budgeree Rd. “We want to make sure we can get local traffic and HVP trucks moving. We met with HVP, as they do a lot of work along that road, and we want to make sure they can get back to work,” he said. Mr O’Kane said roads were no longer closed in the municipality as a result of the landslips, but work was required to improve drainage and stability. “The roads are open and safe and there’s no immediate danger for drivers. Just make sure you are vigilant and drive safely on the roads,” he said. Road closures also took place in Yarragon due to landslips, where work is also underway.

So far so good on Valley roads By Tristan O’Kane

tristan.o@lvvoice.com.au

POLICE breathtested almost 1800 drivers – with just two booked for drink driving and 75 booked for other oﬀences - in the ﬁrst four days of its Operation Crossroads Easter road campaign. Seargent Clint Wilson, from Morwell police, told the Voice on ANZAC Day that local police were very happy about the lack of road incidents to date. Operation Crossroads commenced midnight April 20. Sgt Wilson explained: “The aim of this (police blitz) was to maintain a high presence on the roads concentrating on breath testing, use of mobile phones and speed. All of our resources have been allocated to that,” he said. “We are very pleased with the results so far, just waiting to see what happens over the next couple of days but we are

“

happy that people are doing the right thing, using bypasses and at the moment, everything is going well.” Sgt Wilson said that it was difficult at the time of an accident to ascertain whether mobile phone usage had contributed to the collision. Later, an investigation may show mobile phone usage coincided with the time of the collision, but these were not always reported, therefore making it difficult to make a conclusion about mobile phone use while driving and how dangerous it can be. Sgt Wilson however, is convinced they are the cause of many accidents. “Phones are killing people,” he said. He also said that there were many unexplained causes of car accidents, such as cars veering off the road or missing turns with no apparent reason.

We are very pleased with the results so far.”

Crowds flock to racetrack for Anzac meet

NEWS BRIEF

By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

Landfill works WORK is underway to construct a new cell at the Hyland Hwy landfill, which will expand the life of the tip by two and a half years. The cell will also allow for correct shedding and management of stormwater. Latrobe City councillor Ed Vermeulen said: “The third cell will have approximately 130,000m3 of airspace, which will be sufficient for approximately two and a half years. The entire landfill has a projected lifespan for the receiving of waste until 2018,” he said.

A CROWD of about 1700 turned out for the Anzac Day race meeting at Traralgon, with punters and their families making the most of the sunny weather. Latrobe Valley Racing Club manager Brendan Blackshaw said the event proved to be a real family day with something for everyone. “Everyone really enjoyed themselves, with music, a jumping castle, two up and the races, as well as the footy on the big screen for everyone to watch,” he said. Two up was a popular event during the day, with punters

shouting out their bets between calls of “come in spinner”. Mr Blackshaw said the Anzac service earlier in the day was a great success, while the seven races provided a preview of the Caulfield Cup race meeting to be held later in the year. “Today was a good opportunity for us to promote the fact that we now have a meet on Caulfield Cup day. We hope everyone who came along liked it and will come back in the future,” he said. Local trainer Allison Bennett was also successful on the day, with her horse Sharqiya Sands winning race five, following up a win on Saturday in Bairnsdale.

▪ There was a keen crowd at the two up, with bets shouted back and forth across the ring.

MOE author Helena Phillips is celebrating the launch of her new book ‘The place in between: living and relating with passion’. Since it hit the shelves three weeks ago, Mrs Phillips has sold 57 copies in local stores and is pleased with the fruits of her labour. “The process of writing it was very enjoyable, save for the writer’s block,” she said. “I live in a mud brick house in the bush and it’s a beautiful place to write – which helped when putting the book together. This brings a real Australian ﬂavour to the book.” Mrs Phillips works in private practice at present and has an MA in psychoanalytic studies. She also has two teaching qualiﬁcations and has worked as a lecturer and senior lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine at Monash University for seven years in both teaching and curriculum development. Described by children’s author John Marsden as “very helpful, illuminating and wise”, the book is about accessing hidden potential. Exploring the seven deadly sins in depth, Mrs Phillips writes about a much-needed balance. Mrs Phillips says she’s received some great feedback following the book’s launch in Melbourne. “The target audience is the general public, psychotherapy market and people with religious and spiritual interests. It’s easily accessible for people to pick up and read – and I’ve received some really good feedback.”

A WEBSITE linking former residents of Yallourn and featuring more than 2,000 photographs of the old town has appealed for more information so it can further expand. Virtual Yallourn was set up almost two years ago to create a virtual interactive map of the town, and now needs all ex-residents to provide their details. Julie George, who has been working on the project, said the goal was to link a family to every house in the town. “Our aim was to have a place for people to put their photos and memories, linked to where they lived in Yallourn. We have over 2,000 photos already with people uploading more every day,” she said. Julie said that the biggest challenge was getting details from

ex-residents, such as where they lived and when they lived there. “Once we have all the details up and running, people can add their photos and memories to the site under their address,” she said.

“

so we need them to contact me to organise a hard copy,” she said. The next step for Virtual Yallourn is to make the map more virtual, so that users can pan around the areas and see everything. Julie is also planning on scanning in old school magazines and putting them online. “I think people will be amazed, people who went to the school or lived in the town I think will be amazed at what is there. I’ve had people tell me that they can get lost in the history on the site for hours,” she said. If you are a former resident of Yallourn, Julie would love to hear from you. Contact her at Julie@ yallourn.org, by calling 9775 2684 or mail Yallourn Association, PO Box 1413, Frankston 3199. You can check out the site at www.virtualyallourn.com

Fallen workers remembered

THE Gippsland Asbestos Related Disease Support Inc (GARDS) is holding its annual wreath-laying ceremony on Thursday, April 28. The day coincides with International Workers Memorial Day, in memory of workers who have died, fallen ill or are injured as a result of their work. People from all over the world will be remembering and supporting workers with ceremonies in 100 countries, as they have for the past 10 years. Vicki Hamilton is the CEO and secretary of GARDS in Moe. She knows all too well the pain and suﬀering caused by this disease.

Ms Hamilton lost her father 11 years ago and her grandfather 20 years ago to asbestos-related diseases. “It (the ceremony) is a time to come together and remember your own family and support each other. (Internationally), it is a day for families who are suﬀering overseas and to know that we support them, it shows them there are others out there.” The wreath-laying ceremony will be held at 11am in the Rose Garden, Commercial Rd, Morwell. For more information on GARDS or to ﬁnd out about its regular meetings, go to www.gards.org or contact Vicki Hamilton on 5127 7744.

FOR the third year running, Gippsland will host the Be Inspired arts festival. The festival brings together the shires of Latrobe City, Baw Baw, Wellington, Bass Coast, South Gippsland and East Gippsland to show Gippsland residents and tourists the more creative side of the Gippsland community. Andrea Court, chair of Creative Gippsland, said the event was putting Gippsland on the arts tourism map. The event will bring together six key events in each of the municipalities and just shy of 100 other arts events, all to take place during May. Josephine Kent, arts oﬃcer for Bass Coast, said the festival had been growing consistently since its start, with this year looking to be the largest so far. “The aim is to get people to come and see the artistic side of Gippsland, and it’s growing in every area,” she said.

Karen Whitaker-Taylor, Baw Baw’s cultural development oﬃcer, had similar sentiments about the event. “From my area, it’s really been taken to heart. We have 30-plus events in Baw Baw alone (and) people starting to recognise this as ‘the art month’,” she said. Mayor of Latrobe City Darrell White said that the arts were an important aspect of building strong communities. “This event is not only about the art, but it’s also about arts tourism and attracting people through this event, people who may not normally come to this area,” he said. “It gives us an opportunity to showcase and promote our region’s cultural richness to the wider community.” Events will be held throughout Gippsland between Sunday, May 1, and Tuesday, May 31. For a listing of events go to www.creativegippsland.com.au.

Life lessons for teens DEPRESSION and alcohol abuse are two key issues that’ll be tackled at the V/Line life training program in Morwell next week. The program, which has visited 21 Victorian football clubs, takes place on Tuesday, May 3, at Maryvale Reserve. It aims to educate teenagers on the dangers of binge drinking, depression, drugs and - for the first time - eating disorders. This year the program will be delivered with former AFL Kangaroos player Nathan Thompson, Melbourne Vixen and Australian netballer Renae Hallinan and Butterfly Foundation representatives. Thompson will talk of his battle and experience with depression, while Hallinan will discuss self-esteem and the Butterfly Foundation will lend its support to promoting what a healthy and realistic body image is. “Just because somebody is depressed doesn’t necessarily make them sad all the time,” Thompson said. “Depression can also include high levels of anxiety and stress. If somebody is abusing alcohol or other drugs to deal with these issues it doesn’t help in the long term.

▪ Former AFL star Nathan Thompson will be a key speaker at the life training event.

“Due to limited support services it can be harder for regional Victorian teenagers to get the information they need to make informed decisions. “The V/Line Life Training Program gives us an opportunity to spread our message into regional Victoria and other places where we otherwise might not be heard.” V/Line regional manager Tim Pianta said: “We have had a record response from clubs and community organisations asking for our 2011 program to visit their club or town. “We want to be more than just about providing public transport train and bus services to regional Victorians.”

“Paramedics routinely provide fluid through a drip to help stabilise injured patients, but the most effective way of treating significant blood loss is with a blood transfusion. “Seriously injured patients will now have the benefits of receiving blood in the field and whilst en route to hospital. Blood carries oxygen that is vital to major organs including the brain and as a result it gives a patient their best chance of survival.” Blood fridges are due to be installed on helicopters in the coming months in the Valley, after their Easter roll-out in Melbourne.

School community chalks up memories SIXTY years ago, Collins Street State School began lessons for Morwell children. Today, former students, teachers and parents remain sentimental about the time they spent there. John Lubawski, who attended Collins Street and went on to teach there for 15 years, remembers his time there well.

“People asked why I wanted to work there and I said because the kids want to learn and it made my job easy,” Mr Lubawski said. “We had a lot (of students) from overseas. One girl was from Sweden but she could only speak to me in German… she has about four degrees now I think!

“Kids liked coming to the school. Teachers were great… the kids were really great.” The Morwell Historical Society at 44 Buckley St in Morwell is displaying pictures and newspaper clippings from the time the school ﬁrst brought in students to its demise in 1992. Its records show that

the school was established during a period of rapid growth in Morwell, which led to pressure on the existing two primary schools and the decision to establish a new primary school, in Collins St. The initial enrolment was 200, growing to 263 by the end of the ﬁrst year. It was a multicultural school community with many

children from migrant families attending. However, by 1990 the ﬁnal years of the Collins Street Primary School became apparent. Changes in government policy saw the closure of a number of schools in Victoria and this, along with a decline in population, led to the closure of the school.

“

I can’t stress that enough. Calling triple zero will get the nearest police unit there as quick as possible.” – Sergeant Melanie Hamshere

Library meeting ▪ Senior Constable Shane Winters and Sergeant Melanie Hamshere addressed the CDCA recently.

CHURCHILL’s newest addition to the police force, Sergeant Melanie Hamshere, addressed the Churchill and District Community Association last week, easing concerns about safety in the town. Sgt Hamshere said her main goal was to make sure the public knew that, while it might seem that police weren’t always easily contactable in Churchill, there was always a police presence in the town. “We are often out on jobs during the day, especially Fridays and Saturdays, that’s why the station is sometimes empty, but we try and get back to everyone as soon as we can,”

Rates are y pleasantl aﬀordable

she said. With Churchill set to receive a new full time officer, Sgt Hamshere was confident that policing in the town would be much smoother. The CDCA members raised concerns about the alleged young gang in the town, an issue that many Churchill residents have concerns about. Sgt Hamshere said that it was a complex issue with underlying problems and had no easy short-term fix. “The police in Churchill have been in touch with the group, so we

can follow up any problems quickly. We’re deﬁnitely charging them when we can, and the majority of reports are resulting in charges,” she said. “We’re also speaking with parents to educate them, but it’s falling on deaf ears in a lot of cases.” Sgt Hamshere said that while there was regular police patrolling of the area, the best option if you had to report something serious or urgent was to call triple zero. “I can’t stress that enough. Calling triple zero will get the nearest police unit there as quick as possible,” she said.

“If you call Churchill after hours for example, it will transfer to Morwell, then they have to call the right section to contact an oﬃcer. Triple zero ﬁnds whichever unit is closest and sends them there, or they’ll at least give you advice.” Senior constable Shane Winters had similar sentiments regarding the emergency service. “At the end of the day, triple zero’s job is to determine whether to send out a unit. There’s no harm in calling them for a decent answer straight away,” he said.

THE next meeting of the Friends of Latrobe City Libraries will be held at 7pm on Wednesday, April 27, at Churchill Library in the Churchill Hub situated on Phillip Parade next to the CFA.

Festival moves to broader music mix

NEWS BRIEFS Acoustic music THE Gippsland Acoustic Music Club will be one of four groups providing live music at Old Gippstown on Sunday, May 1, from 10am to 5pm. The club will play in the coach house, with several acts that are sure to impress. The day will conclude with a jam session.

Survey prize

FOR 19 years, Moe staged the Moe Jazz festival. Due to various reasons, the Jazz Festival is no longer. In its place, however, will be the Moe Music Festival. The president of the committee set up to organise this event is Bruce Lawn. Mr Lawn is actually a Traralgon resident but decided there was a need to help Moe retain a festival of some kind and he oﬀered his services. The Jazz music festival, according to Mr Lawn, has always had a strong following so the committee decided to feature the jazz again but also bring in other styles of music

such as blues, folk and country. Mr Lawn is hopeful of a big turnout this year: “We are expecting 500 people who follow the jazz music alone so we are expecting even more than that.” Four of the musicians or bands that will be performing on the day are Wonderdogs, Riviera, Moonee Valley and Des Camm. The festival will be held at Old Gippstown, Lloyd St, Moe on Sunday, May 1, from 9am to 5pm. Early risers will be able to catch breakfast, and there are food and drinks available to purchase throughout the day.

Police band THE Victoria Police Code 1 rock band is putting on a concert for the Moe primary schools’ breakfast program on Wednesday, May 11, from 1pm to 2pm at Moe Town Hall. For more information, contact Marilyn May on 5127 6882 or email marilyn_joy_may@yahoo.com.au.

▪ Community fundraiser and volunteer Violet Isaacs hands over a cheque to Old Gippstown manager Michael Fozard.

VIOLET Isaacs has proven to be a champion fundraiser once again, after raising $430 for the Gippsland Heritage Park in Moe. Ms Isaacs moved to the Latrobe Valley four years ago from Croyden, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Now as most people living in the country know, it takes at least 20 years to become a local. In the case of Ms Isaacs, locals will be making an exception to that rule. Ms Isaacs has been fundraising or performing voluntary work for over 40 years and now brings her generosity of spirit to the Latrobe Valley. Back in 1981 she won the Knox volunteer of the year award, but when asked how she felt about that surprise she exclaimed humbly: “Awful! I don’t expect things like that.” When she moved into Querencia,

Latrobe City’s retirement village, she did not retire. Ms Isaacs has been busy making craft items to sell at stalls. The most recent stall, in the dining room of Querencia, brought in quite a few members of the public. So much so that she managed to make $430. She decided to donate the funds to Old Gippstown as it had suffered from the most recent floods and funds have been strained. Michael Fozard, the manager of Old Gippstown, was thrilled: “It is volunteers and the goodwill of people like Violet that gives us a morale boost. Violet is an example of what fabulous human resources we have in our community.” For her next effort, Ms Isaacs will be busy coming up to the Big Cuppa fundraiser, to raise money for cancer research.

TWO years ago Lynda George and Russell Wright had an idea - to plant trees that would bring colour to the town of Walhalla after bushﬁres ravaged the district. More than 100 trees later, the townsfolk of Walhalla came together recently to celebrate the success of the project. The Walhalla Heritage and Development League began a community chest fund to which people from the wider community could donate money for a tree to be planted in memory of a loved one. In return, they received a certiﬁcate and personal map showing the location of their tree. The program was rated by project

facilitator Russell Wright as being “highly successful, with over 100 trees planted throughout Walhalla historical township by the local garden group Walhalla Community Gardens”. The trees planted include maples, poplars, magnolias and cherries. “It’s been a great program, whilst it beautiﬁes Walhalla it’s also a really lovely way of remembering your loved ones. It means that generations of families will come to visit Walhalla and say that this tree was planted in memory of our family,” Mr Wright said. Merilyn Hall from the Walhalla Community Gardens added: “After two years it is truly wonderful to see how much these trees have grown since we planted them. A wet and cool summer has deﬁnitely helped.”

All over the shop Suburban Princess: coming to a wardrobe near you By Cherry Prior

cherry.prior@lvvoice.com.au

FASCINATING all this Kate Middleton stuff. This one chick alone scores 50 million results in a Google search of her name. If you try your luck at “Kate Middleton diet” you’ll get nearly six million web pages to scroll through; and almost as many results for a search of “Kate Middleton shopping” (more than 17 million) as Prince William gets in total. Yep, even if we Aussies are not buying the hype (well, most of us), the world is certainly in a Kate Middleton frenzy in the lead up to Kate and Willy’s big day. I was particularly taken with the swathe of articles and television reports listing all of Kate’s purchases during last week’s London shopping excursion. Among the items generating interest was the “Kate Blouse” – reportedly an “ivory silk” shirt with “frill detail, eyelash trim and grandad collar”. Apparently Kate waltzed into a Chelsea retailer and purchased the blouse, named in her honour, for 125 pounds. If you think the world wanted one of those shirts before, well now they not only want one but also neeeeeeed one. No doubt the Divine Miss M is an individual deserving of such a tribute. But one can’t help but wonder why marrying a prince can bring that sort of adulation. I mean, think about the women in your life – the mums, the sisters, the friends, the volunteers, the career women, the wives, the lovers. Aren’t they just as deserving – nay, moreso – than Miss M? Shouldn’t they have a design of their own just for the fact that they put up with the sheer ordinariness of their lives, the struggles, the frustrations, the temptations, the juggling? The women I know have done enough to earn their own apparel in what I shall deem the “Suburban Princess” range. This is the range of clothing that I would like to see in our department stores, that would truly reflect the strength and endurance of the ordinary woman. And I would like to see Miss M throw on some of the Suburban Princess range in a sign of sisterhood and strength with the ordinary women of this world. Imagine our Kate in the trendy Suburban Princess “Aunty Flo trakkie daks”. These come complete with incontinence pads – handy when Kate is killing herself laughing at Willy’s hilarious knock-knock jokes. And what about the “New Mother T-shirt” with vomit print on one the shoulder and a cloth nappy thrown over the other. I can hear Kate now: “Cloth nappies, how quaint. Oh I must have three of those.” There’d be the Suburban Princess odd socks – never again would Katie have to go rifling through the dirty clothes basket to find a match – and the laddered tights with the manufacturer’s own nail polish at the tail of the run. To top it all off there’d be the tight blue jeans in which your bum always looked huge, even if you are a Kate size (size eight). Yep, nothing like getting in touch with the ordinary woman than Katie asking her man “does my bum look big in this”. And Willy feeling squeamish at the thought of having to reply.

Put your pelvic floor first

with Sam Fenton

If you’re scared to jump with the kids on the trampoline then you need to do some work on your pelvic ﬂoor.

ARE you scared to sneeze? If so, you deserve better. There are measures you can take. I am writing this column from Sydney after three days at Filex – an international fitness convention where the world’s best congregate for three days of cutting-edge information. A powerful moment took place at a pelvic-floor workshop, when a woman in her mid 30s took to the stage and told her story of embarrassment, bravery and finally success. Looking in the mirror when her last born was a toddler, she was disgusted. Feeling frumpy, fat and unfit, she was too

scared to go back to the gym she loved because of a leakage issue – living in constant fear of a sneeze or even a laugh in public with friends. She thought it was normal. Think of a wine cask. The cardboard casing is your core. The bottom of the cardboard is your pelvic floor, the foil bag inside is your organs and the tap represents your ability to activate your pelvic floor. Having a baby is like accessing the bag for a bit by opening up the bottom of the cardboard casing. Which is fine, as long as you put it back together properly. The lady telling her story of

Pumpkin bonanza

WITH autumn comes a change in the weather and we are now experiencing lovely sunny days, chilly evenings and plenty of rain. There are a few jobs to be done in the vegetable garden at this time of year, and one of the most pleasant is getting stuck into the pumpkin patch. If you haven’t already harvested your pumpkins, you might want to start doing so now, because leaving them to

sit outside in very cold weather will damage them. Pumpkins and frost deﬁnitely do not get along. You know the pumpkins are ready to be harvested and stored when the vine withers. Pick your pumpkins with between 5cm and 7cm of stem attached to avoid bacteria entering the fruit and causing it to rot. You have to be careful when

embarrassment had not been taught how to put it (pelvic floor) back together through activating and re-strengthening it. The bottom of the cardboard casing had been opened up, but she had not put it back together. She didn’t know how to. Her “tap” was weak and out of control, hence the leakage. Squat jumps with her personal trainer almost led to the foil bag completely falling through the bottom (complete prolapse – organs falling through the pelvic floor). She then went to a physio who had women’s health expertise and is now a fighting fit fitness trainer who can do squat jumps with no fear.

handling a pumpkin that you wish to put aside for storage because any damage, such as bruising, can cause rot and this will spread to other pumpkins if they are stacked together. Choose a well-ventilated shelf in a shed or under shelter where temperatures are above seven degrees Celcius (but not too warm) to keep your pumpkins until you wish to use them. Different types of pumpkin will store for different lengths of time. A butternut pumpkin will not last as long as a Queensland blue or sweet grey, for example. But it will store for long enough (some as long as three months) to make your first batch of winter soup! Other worthwhile jobs at this time of year are pruning the berry vines, planting broad

Many men and women do not know how to consciously control the pelvic floor. So this is the first step. Learn how to control your “tap”. You can get help with this from a good physiotherapist or pilates instructor. If you still don’t get it, there are further options such as tens machines (electrical stimulation) and even weights (speak to your women’s health specialist). And remember, medical advice is always the first step. For more information see pelvicfloorfirst.com.au.

beans and making compost – largely because there’s plenty of garden waste at this time of year to kick-start your compost heap. Compost is one of the best soil conditioners around, and one of the secrets to good compost is to have a variety of materials rather than all one type. Fallen autumn leaves, old pumpkin vines, lawn clippings, vegetable scraps and straw can all go into the compost heap. Remember to make your compost on the ground, as this allows the worms to enter the pile and helps the composting process. Happy gardening!

ACCORDING TO NAYTA Listen to Nayta & Bec weekdays from 6am to 10am on 99.5 TRFM

WELL this is a first. My first crack at writing for a newspaper. Not the first time writing in a newspaper mind you, but submitting an ad for a 1985 beige Camira in good condition, with six months rego doesn’t exactly count. This is the first time I’ve written anything that’s been read by more than two people since my D+ from Mrs Lawrence in year nine English. It’s safe to say I’m a little apprehensive. As a radio announcer, I’m used to having my thoughts heard on a daily basis, but when it’s written

in ink, in black and white, it seems far more...permanent. It’s far easier to deny you said something if written evidence isn’t printed in the newspaper! Email has got many of us in trouble in much the same way. I once wrote a nasty email to my boss highlighting the inadequacies of a female co-worker, insinuating, among other things, that we’d be better oﬀ hiring a guinea pig. Much to my surprise, she confronted me 15 minutes later with a printed copy of that exact email. (Turns out, as well as sending the email

to my boss, I’d sent it to her!) All the same, she had the written evidence of my backstabbing and I was in charge of keeping the gents’ spotless for the next week! What I hope to do in this regular contribution is provide you with a mildly humorous, mildly interesting take on everyday life in the Valley. An escape from carbon tax, parking ﬁnes and neighbours from hell. A chance to chuckle, smirk or shake your head in disbelief. That is my aim. Whether I succeed is yet to be seen. Somehow I fear

this column may share a similar lifespan as Ben Elton’s ‘Live from planet Earth’. But there’s no need to get all glass half empty straight away. At this stage I shall remain positive and grasp this opportunity with both hands. Just as we all must remain positive that the 8kg of chocolate eggs we devoured over the weekend, won’t force an adjustment of the belt. Actually, speaking of opportunities, that Camira is still up for grabs...

before putting their skills to use in the afternoon. Gippsland zone development oﬃcer Eugene Lawrenz said the coaches on the day, local SEDA students, volunteered their time to make the event great. “We had 33 kids show up, which is a great number. We’ll certainly hold this again next term,” he said.

The SEDA coaches are Traralgonbased students completing a diploma of sport with the organisation. Coaches on the day were Reuben Langerak, Shaun Pickett, Stuart Ashdowne, Josephine Street and Stevie Durling, who all took time out of their day to help with the kids.

DEFENDING Traralgon Marathon champion John MacKenzie took out last Thursday’s Traralgon Harriers 6km race, finishing with plenty in reserve. MacKenzie, treating the race as a training run for the marathon in five weeks time, finished in 21 min 26 sec. The event was held at Flinders School in Traralgon. The Traralgon Marathon Festival, being held on June 5, will attract a big field of

runners in the marathon (42km), half marathon (21km) and quarter marathon (10.5km) events. This week’s run is from Liddiard Rd Primary School and next week, May 5, from the clubrooms in Douglas Parade. Thursday night races start at 5.50pm and newcomers are welcome. Access calendar and event from www. traralgonharriers.org

Gippsport suggests clubs plan a strategy to target people to get involved. Work out what sort of skills the club needs and who might be willing to help. Finally, start with small tasks for volunteers that will not take up too much time. This may whet their appetite for more!

Need volunteers? GIPPSPORT has some advice for sporting organisations wanting to recruit volunteer helpers. It says that research shows most volunteers are recruited by being asked directly to help out, or they have family and friends already involved with the club. Few people come to clubs out of the blue to be a volunteer.

AFTER a recent trip to Cobram/Barooga and Tocumwal Golf Clubs, the Traralgon seniors have donated $536.60 to the Gippsland Centenary Rotary House. The club held a ﬁnes session at the courses and after $336.60 was raised for the Centenary House, Chris Payne, a Rotary member spoke about the house and the club’s bus driver “Sudsy” put in $200 of his own money towards the charity.

Goddard rejects hangover claim By Niall Boyle

a round of golf, is hoping St ▪ Brendon Goddard, pictured enjoyingladder. the of KIlda can make a swing for top

IN part two of our exclusive interview with Brendan Goddard, the former Gippsland Power man has rejected claims that a grand final hangover is to blame for St Kilda’s stuttering start to the season. The Saints have been pipped at the post for the last two years – in 2010 Collingwood broke its heart with a crushing 58-point victory. Goddard said: “I wouldn’t call it a hangover as such. I guess we’ve tried to change things a bit in terms of our structures and the role of each individual player in the team. We’re going to get back to basics, and strip it right back to what made us a great team in the past. That’s a clear focus for us. “We’re well aware that if you don’t live up to those expectations the pressure can build. We’re certainly in no panic stations at the footy club but supporters, fans and the media have placed expectations on us externally.” The Saints got its season back on track on Thursday with a hardfought 13-point victory over the Brisbane Lions. Goddard was influential playing a roaming role across halfback, had 26 touches and a first-quarter goal.

However, he said he wasn’t happy with the start he made to the season. “I’ve set high standards for myself over the last few years. Form is only temporary, but it’s not great. In the first game (Geelong) I felt that I played OK, and we felt, as a team, that the effort was good despite the one-point loss,” he said. “Brett Deledio had a great game and nullified my impact,. We realistically only played two quarters though against Richmond. “Against Essendon I felt really good. I’ve been criticised for having a couple of poor games but I thought was a real positive, individually.” He added that he thinks Collingwood will be the team to beat this year, after its flawless start to the season. “They’re looking like a formidable outfit. They’re the reigning premiers and you wouldn’t expect anything less. It’s hard to focus on other teams at the minute, because we’ve got more important things to focus on – like our own game,” he said. “Going on the first four rounds, Collingwood are just in a league of their own. At this present time, Hawthorn and Carlton are two of the in-form teams of the competition, along with Freemantle and Western Bulldogs.”

In-form Tigers the favourites MORWELL will be keen to continue its unbeaten run when it takes on Bairnsdale at the Tigers home ground this weekend. With the home team at near full strength – and having won the last seven games against Bairnsdale – Morwell enters the round as the favourite. But Bairnsdale will be using its big men to try to crack the Tigers resolve for its ﬁrst away-game victory against Morwell since 1983. Traralgon should continue its dominance over Moe in what

should be an entertaining match. The Maroons have won 17 of their past 21 encounters and the previous four quite comfortably. The Lions brain snap against Bairnsdale – two Moe players were thrown in the sin bin in the last round - is now history and Troy Makepeace has called for discipline from all his players. Maﬀra and Drouin will do battle, with the Hawks keen to avenge their 18-point loss in last year’s grand ﬁnal at Morwell. The Hawks started the season

Improved Cougars seeking to push City CHURCHILL will travel to Sale this weekend in what is being billed as a “top of the table clash” for second position in North Gippsland footy. With the Cougars still smarting from the thrashings dished out by Sale City last season, it has taken a slow and steady approach to closing the margin between the two sides. “They were the best team last season. We have looked at where we have needed to improve and set ourselves over the past six months the task of improving by at least a goal each week,” coach Tim Darby said. “On both occasions last year they beat the side by 18 and 17 goals. The club has in recent years never suﬀered such losses, we have always been the hunted more so than being the ones hunting so we know we have a lot to improve on.” Darby said he was pleased with his side’s progress, but was under no illusions of the mammoth task ahead of the Cougars if it is to seriously challenge the reigning premiers. Rosedale will meet Glengarry in a replay of last season’s semi-ﬁnal action. Glengarry is the favourite – being undefeated at this early stage. TTU will aim to notch up its

Power looks to crash Jets By Niall Boyle

niall.boyle@lvvoice.com.au

GIPPSLAND Power coach Adam Dowie hopes to give Western Jets a rough ride for round three of the TAC Cup, in Morwell on Saturday, May 1. The Power is coming oﬀ the back of a morale-boosting win against Bendigo Pioneers after its horror show against Sandringham. Trailing by just six points at half time against the Dragons, everything that could possibly go wrong for

Power did – and the ladder leaders handed them a 93-point spanking. Dowie believes that his team will have learnt its lesson from that crushing defeat, and will bring out its “A game” next time out. He said: “We maybe went into the Sandringham game a bit ﬂat and complacent. We didn’t turn up, and discovered that if you don’t do so you get found out at this level. There was plenty of soul-searching after that defeat – but we’ve vowed that’ll

be the lowest point of the year. “We restructured things a bit for the Bendigo game and we’ll be looking to bring the positives into the Jets match. We’re looking at turning Morwell into a fortress this year, and we’re hoping their trip down here is an unpleasant one,” Dowie said. He praised Traralgon lad Nick Graham, who kicked ﬁve goals in the Power’s second victory of the campaign. “Nick was impressive around the

middle and was very opportunistic around goal. We’re probably going to play him somewhere around the forward line, but he’s aware he needs more strings to his bow rather than just being a small forward. But he’s a good player and he knows there’s a lot more to his game.” The Power’s TAC fourth round game against Western Jets gets underway at midday at Morwell footy ground. All support welcomed.

National records topple in Morwell

Hillmen aim to end 127-year drought ▪ Yarragon hopes to resurrect its season against Hill End this weekend.

▪ The archers take aim during target shooting on Easter Monday. By Bryce Campbell

bryce.campbell@lvvoice.com.au

ARCHERS Natasha Beier and Alec Potts have been the stand-out local competitors in this week’s National Youth Archery Championships. Natasha, representing the home club Twin City Archers Gippsland, had already broken 10 national records in the target shooting by Monday, with competition set to continue until Friday. And Alec, 15, looked set to qualify for the World Youth Championships in Poland, to be held in August. The Morwell-based club is hosting youth archers from across Australia and from Singapore and

New Zealand, with many smashing records early in the week. More than 100 archers aged 20 and under have come together to compete in multiple events. Twin City Archers Gippsland president Peter Bennett said that following the ﬂoods a fortnight ago, the club was lucky to keep the event running. “It took two days of pumping to clear the water. TruEnergy have been a great help, they opened up their land for us to use for the clout event, as it was far too wet to use our normal area,” he said. “It’s been a great community

eﬀort to get it ready, if it wasn’t for the people who helped us, we’d still be knee deep in water.” Mr Bennett said he was very proud of the local competitors in the competition, with 10 taking part in the event. “We have ﬁve on the state team shooting for Victoria, and from them the club has already picked up three national championship gold medals, and a couple of bronze medals. They’ve all done fantastic in the event so far,” he said. Mr Bennett said the event brought in a lot of business for the local area, as well as providing a great social experience.

HILL End will attempt to break a 127year drought by posting its third win from four matches in round four of Mid Gippsland football this weekend. The Hillmen, one of four teams from last season’s bottom five currently occupying a position in the top half of the table, has not posted three from four since 1884. This weekend it will face Yarragon, a side determined to resurrect its season. The Panthers went into the Easter/ANZAC Day break deflated, having won just one of its opening three matches. Still confident his team can make the finals, coach Lloyd Burgmann said the club was going through a development phase. “Look we are developing players, younger players and I think in the longer term we will be far better off,” he said. The side that beat the Panthers in round three, Thorpdale, will face its biggest challenge to date when it lines up against the reigning Premier,

Trafalgar, which is comfortable at the top of the ladder. Fresh from its biggest win of the year over Yinnar, Newborough goes in as the favourite against Mirboo North. Though it hasn’t beaten the Tigers in their previous nine encounters, Newborough has won its opening three matches of the season for the first time since 2002. Two of the competition’s other big improvers, neighbours Boolarra and Yinnar, meet for the first time in 2011 this round. Last year the Demons were on target to beat the Magpies twice in the one year for the first time since 1988, but fell just three points short in their second encounter. However this weekend they will face a very different Magpie line up in what is tipped to be a blockbuster. And round four will mark a must win for both Morwell East and Yallourn/ Yallourn North as they vie to get their seasons back on track. The Hawks will be out for the first win of the year, the Bombers a second.
