Getting down to business PEPO Farms chief executive officer Marcus Warner was elected president of the Bright and District Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday, with the business leader saying their aims remain to develop sustainable year-long business in Bright and surrounds, as well as improving local disaster resilience and creating a long-term business strategy.

At their annual general meeting (AGM) at a local accommodation provider last Tuesday, Mr Warner was elected president, adventure guide company owner David Chitty was elected vice

president, TAFCO general manager Rupert Shaw was elected treasurer, while accommodation property co-owner Juliana Thompson remains as secretary.

Mr Warner said the chamber is still working on their three areas of focus: remaining a strong advocate from an “economic development perspective”, developing an affordable housing scheme

with key stakeholders, and ensuring businesses are better prepared for natural disasters.

“We’re still seeing, in light of post-COVID, a little bit of complacency slipping back into businesses thinking the worst is behind them,” he said.

“Making sure businesses are prepared to deal with the eventualities of evacuations or being prepared for long periods of roads being closed or their business being interrupted - that’s a key area that we want to focus on.”

He said membership at the AGM approved the

development of a long-term strategy document to better inform the chamber when communicating with key stakeholders, like council, on long-term infrastructure investment or bringing new industries to the area.

Mr Warner said the Alpine Shire Council have been successful in spreading out major events over the year to ensure more consistent visitation and avoiding major events on long weekends, where visitation was already high.

“Moving events of that nature to quieter parts of the year would still mean they were successful, it

just meant there was better distribution of income coming in,” he said.

Mr Warner said members at the AGM also brought up a ‘winter festival’ concept to increase visitation in quieter winter months.

He thanked outgoing president Scott Brandon, who stood down from the role, and said one of Mr Brandon’s key achievements had been helping prevent the closure of Bright’s Mystic Park.

In July last year the popular mountain biking park, managed by the Alpine Community Plantation (ACP) board,

was a risk of closing due to financial pressures and increasing use.

“The chamber has a key role by being on the ACP board; we knew it was very important that we help steer that one to a positive outcome, which now looks like it’s set and sustainable for the near future,” Mr Warner said.

He said one of the predominant challenges facing the new chamber executive will be town population growth from the new Bright Valley development and the potential impact on housing affordability for workers and increased demand for business services.

On the right track LOCAL artist and gallery owner Jim van Geet was re-elected president of the Myrtleford Chamber of Commerce and Industry last Wednesday night, with the local businessman emphasising the chamber’s role in major events and funding town amenities and attractions.

Mr van Geet said local winemaker Frank Ivone was re-elected vice president, Louise Benini was elected treasurer, while Kerry Murphy remains secretary.

According to the president’s report for the meeting, Mr van Geet

during La Festa, Myrtleford y chamber re-elects p president stations assisting people to sort

updated members on the status of events and projects assisted by the chamber, as well as providing some visitation statistics.

According to Mr van Geet, La Fiera’s Wine and Food Festa in autumn presold 2300 tickets and 600 were purchased on the day despite continuous rain.

Of the tickets presold, 85

per cent were purchased by residents outside the Myrtleford postcode – proof the festival is a definite tourism attraction, according to the report.

Other La Fiera statistics include over $100,000 of sales at the Food and Wine Festa, while other events within the La Fiera program, including Il Mercato, and lunches at Gapsted and Michelini Wines, also generated over $100,000.

He particularly mentioned the work of

Kerry Murphy, Louise Benini, John ReynoldsSmith and John Costenaro in organising the event.

“Hundreds of people are involved in the actual festival, with local Circoli catering authentic homestyle food from their regions and Myrtleford Lions Club members volunteering to assist with set up,” the report said.

“Myrtleford and District Landcare are to be congratulated for managing waste sustainability.

“Monitoring four bin

their waste, has reduced La Fiera’s general waste by almost 90 per cent.

“There were only 4.5 bins of general waste from Saturday’s festival, with more than 3000 people.”

Mr van Geet also said the Myrtleford Piazza Summer Series will be on this summer, with sufficient funding secured for the live music concerts.

The St Paul’s Church Hall has also been renovated due to the chamber’s advocacy, Mr van Geet said, with the final phase of the upgrades

completed over the past year.

He also said around 3000 attended the Bush Market at the Myrtleford Recreation Reserve in January.

“It’s good to get things happening,” Mr van Geet said to the Myrtleford Times.

“With a lot of these projects, there’s a lot of work to always be done.

“As a chamber we concentrate on community, not just business, so it’s all about supporting the community and the community then supports business.”

Council decides on river pool

Temporary raw water pipeline for Mt Beauty

THE Alpine Shire Council was set to decide on the removal of the jumping board at the Bright river pool at their meeting on Tuesday night, with a recommendation before council suggesting the board is associated with a significant number of safety incidents.

At the meeting council was to note the conclusion of the community engagement phase of the development of the draft Alpine Shire Land Development Strategy 2023 and receive the council’s annual report for the previous financial year.

Also on the agenda was a recommendation to endorse the community Climate Action Plan Roadmap and award a contract for snowmaking at Dinner Plain.

We’ll have full coverage of last night’s meeting – held after we’d gone to press – in next week’s edition.

NORTH East Water (NE Water) has activated its temporary raw water pipeline in Mount Beauty following a landslip that has permanently damaged the existing pipeline, according to a statement released by the water provider last Friday.

NE Water has said the temporary pipeline will ensure a secure supply of water to Mount Beauty until a new raw water pipeline can be completed in mid-late 2025.

Managing director Jo Mur-

doch said despite the landslip, the community could be confident about an assured water supply with the temporary pipeline in place until a new permanent offtake can be built.

“The community will recall we successfully implemented and tested the temporary pipeline in Embankment Drive in December 2022 as a contingency in the event of failure due to a landslip or bushfire,” Ms Murdoch said.

“While a landslip on the access track occurred earlier this year it

Signage will be in place to provide the community with information.

The temporary pipeline will be removed for winter.

did not impact the pipeline.

“Unfortunately, significant rainfall in Mount Beauty a few weeks ago has now caused the landslip to worsen.

“The existing pipeline has been compromised and we cannot safely access the area to fix it.

“But we have planned well for the temporary pipeline to ensure a reliable water supply for residents, business and industry, particularly during periods of high summer demand.”

The temporary system will in-

Police enforcing alcohol rules

By BRODIE EVERIST POLICE will be enforcing alcohol restrictions at this year’s Rod Run, with between 30-35 officers patrolling Bright’s streets during the three-day event, according to Senior Sergeant Doug Incoll of Bright Police.

As seen in previous years, alcohol consumption will be prohibited from designated public areas of the Bright CBD during the Rod Run from 10pm on Thursday, November 9 until 7am on Monday, November 13.

Snr Sgt Incoll reminded eventgoers that police can issue $200 on-thespot fines for breaches of alcohol restrictions.

“It’s all about moderating people’s behaviour and ensuring that people enjoy the event safely without being adversely affected by drunken behaviour and other associated offenses,” he said.

The alcohol restrictions apply to public areas across the Bright CBD, including Gavan Street, Railway Avenue, Ireland Street, Howitt Park and Centenary Park.

Alcohol restrictions are recommended each year by the Events Risk Assessment Panel, which includes representatives from Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, Alpine Health, council and other emergency services.

According to the Alpine Shire Council, traffic restrictions for the event will apply from the morning of November 9 to November 13, with barriers across the CBD to manage traffic flow.

Barriers will be also installed at Cobden Street, Hawthorn Lane and Pioneer Lane from 6am-2pm on Sunday November 12.

Council advises residents that Ireland Street, as well as parts of Barnard Street, Wood Street, Anderson Street and Burke Street will be closed from 10pm November 10 to 12pm November 11 to ensure the safe operation of the Remembrance Day ceremony.

Snr Sgt Incoll said they expect up to 20,000 people to attend the three-day Rod Run. “It’s been a great event over the years and it’s really gaining momentum postCOVID,” he said.

GOOD TIMES: Grandparents Daphne and Tim Bailey had taken their grandson Max Matthews to the event in Myrtleford last week.

Fun-filled afternoons a hit with the kids

By BRODIE EVERIST

KIDS and families were enjoying the fun of Children’s Week at Myrtleford’s Cundy Park last Thursday afternoon, the last of three activity-filled events run by council across the shire.

The events were held at Les Peart Oval in Mount Beauty and Bright’s Centenary Park on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, and they included food vans, live music and circus workshops.

Council’s community wellbeing events officer Jodie Timbs was running the silent disco, where children would don headphones playing music and dance.

She said the events had been popular, with an estimated 170 people at the Bright event and 120 in Mount Beauty.

“The kids are really engaged with everything we’ve got go-

ing on, so it’s been amazing,” she said.

At Myrtleford the face painting and the ice cream van had long queues, but Ms Timbs said the silent disco had been wellliked the day before in Bright.

Myrtleford resident Cheryl Sanderson was at Cundy Park with her grandson and said it was wonderful council had put on the event for kids and families.

“It’s good to see our rate money in action,” she said.

Show exhibits fine breeding, terrific talent

By BRODIE EVERIST THE sun was shining on the 76th Myrtleford Show last Saturday where fine agricultural exhibits were on show across the reserve’s sheds and pavilions.

One of the prize exhibits at the cattle pavilion was Chloe Cook’s Country Road Daranga Astina cow taking out supreme dairy exhibit for the fourth time running, as well as winning champion cow.

Meanwhile the cow’s daughter, a two-year-old heifer, also won best udder.

“She’s had seven calves and that’s amazing for a cow to produce over that time and get keep getting in calf to produce that milk,” Ms Cook said.

She said she had been working with the cows for around two months, four days a week, to ensure they can handle the varied requirements of the show, like being walked and being around lots of people.

More prize exhibits were on show at the revamped poultry shed, with some stunning chickens, ducks and guinea fowl making a racket.

Greg Vonarx’s old English game male won champion bird, which poultry shed steward Breanna Carr said was down to the bird’s fitness.

“He’s got good structural soundness that he’d be able to jump up and run around and do heaps of different activities,” she said.

COSTUMED CANINE: Erica and Penny Blake with border collie Tess, who had been entered into the best costumed pet section of the family pet show.

HAVING FUN: Six-year-olds Laila Thompson (left) and Ishanya Sharma had got their faces painted, had been on the tea cup ride and were heading to the petting zoo.

WINNER: Ross and Chloe Cook from Edi Upper with their Daranga Astina cow that won supreme dairy exhibit and champion cow.

PHOTOS: Brodie Everist A noisy black Orpington chicken won reserve champion as well as the new Ron Leary Memorial Award.

Ms Carr said the award, named after founding club member Ron Leary, is given to the best Orpington or Wyandotte chicken as they were Mr Leary’s favourite breeds.

She said the award winner had come from top Orpington bloodlines, partly explaining

the majestic size of the bird.

“Sometimes you’ll see them a bit smaller, but this is how big and fluffy they should be,” she said.

Much of the shed has been replaced this year, partially thanks to a grant secured by the Myrtleford Show Society, meanwhile Alpine Poultry Club members had been working for months to build, repair and repaint the bird pens, said Ms Carr.

In the AW Richardson pavilion, a range of exhibits were on show, including farm produce, cut flowers, bonsai, and jams and preserves.

Myrtleford Show committee life member Alistair Browne was in the pavilion in the afternoon with family members, and said he was particularly impressed with the flowers.

“Beautiful flowers, and the roses are excellent,” he said.

Croquet open day covered AROUND 30 were enjoying the sunshine at the Bright Croquet Club’s open day last Thursday morning, with visitors and members on the mallets and others sitting under the club’s new retractable awning.

“It’s going well, we’ve got a few visitors; we’ve got a beautiful day,” club president Joan Thompson said.

According to Ms Thompson, the awning cost around $5000 with around half funded by the Bright Community Bank.

Ms Thompson thanked the community bank and said she was particularly

happy they had got an awning that matched the building’s light green paint.

According to club member John Hart, members of the community bank were to visit that lunchtime to see the awning in action.

The club has also had a solar panel-powered whirlybird roof ventilator installed to remove heat from the clubroom’s roof space and improve airflow.

“We’ve only had it in a week, but I feel there’s more air in the building when you walk in,” Ms Thompson said.

“I’ll be very interested to see after a week’s hot weather whether it’s really working.”

That’s why we’re focused on planning and delivering our bushfire risk management program all year round.

This past year, heavy rain and floods across large parts of the state have had a serious impact on our communities.

This means less opportunities to lower bushfire risk through

state.

My thoughts go to the communities affected by bushfire, and I thank our crews, contractors, incident management personnel and partner agencies for the work they do to keep our communities safe.

Preparing for a Victorian summer takes a lot of planning.

Despite the fire activity we have already seen in spring, our bushfire risk management program will continue where conditions are suitable and it is

summer because if a bushfire starts, these activities will help us suppress fires.

But Victorians also need to be prepared for bushfires if they live, work or visit areas at risk of fire.

With drier and warmer than usual spring and summer conditions, we expect Victorians will be looking forward to getting outdoors to explore and enjoy our beautiful state forests and parks.

No surprises in English exam, say students

By BRODIE EVERIST YEAR 12 students across the shire sweated through their English exam last Tuesday, but many agreed the prompts were as expected.

During the three hour exam, plus 15 minutes reading time, students were asked to complete an analytical interpretation of a text (section A), a comparative analysis of two texts (section B) and an analysis of argument and persuasive language in a previously unseen text (Section C).

Section A and section B required students to respond to a prompt, asking them respond to a question or discussion point about the text.

Most Myrtleford students had their exam in the Ablett Pavilion at the McNamara Reserve, while Bright students took their exam in the Bright Community Centre.

Myrtleford P12 College student Bella Pascoe studied Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ for section A and said the prompts were easier than she expected.

“One of the prompts for Section A was about marriage, which we have covered extensively, so that that was really helpful,” she said.

She also said section C was quite good because the persuasive text made clear argument that students could respond to.

Marian College English teacher Sonia McKenzie, who met with

PHOTO: Brodie Everist students after the Myrtleford exam, said the prompts were fair.

“They definitely had scope to challenge but the students were very prepared for whatever question they were asked,” she said.

Bright P-12 college student Zoe Ditcham also said the prompts were similar to what she had studied in practice exams.

She was particularly happy with her response to section A, which she wrote on the 1962 mystery

novel ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’, by Shirley Jackson.

“The analytical was what I prepared for most, so I was definitely ready to do it when I got into the exam,” she said.

Zoe described the persuasive language text, which proposed a music festival in a semi-rural town, as “very bland”.

“It was pretty difficult to break it down and analyse it when there wasn’t really anything super emo-

tive or exciting in it,” she said.

Despite being relieved she had completed the English exam on Tuesday, Zoe had her Aboriginal languages exam the next day and two maths exams the following Friday and Monday.

“I’m not sure why all my exams just happened to be within a week, but I’m very happy about that because I’m a big procrastinator,” she said.

“It’s harder to put things off when they’re all very close.”

THE 2024 calendar of ‘Historic Myrtleford Images’ is now available.

According to Myrtleford Historical Society president John Taylor, the images selected for the 2024 Historical Calendar range from 1890 to 1980 and are a blend of photographs from the historical society’s catalogue and the ‘Tiff Rayner Collection’.

He said they represent community life in the district across that period and vary from important social events to those significant places which are still part of our lives today.

“The calendars are available at the Old School Museum on Sunday afternoons, or at our monthly market,” he said.

“The Historical Society greatly appreciates the ongoing support of the Myrtleford Post Office and Myrtleford Newsagency who sell the calendars on our behalf at other times.

“Purchasing one for $20 is a means of supporting our ongoing work of preserving, recording and displaying artefacts and documents, and assisting increasing numbers of people doing family research in what is a challenging time for small community museums.”

The historical society are holding their annual general meeting at 7pm on November 9, at the Myrtleford Uniting Church Hall.

By FAY MASON DR Mark Zagorski from Mount Beauty Medical Centre was presented with the Peter Graham Cohuna Award for 2023 at the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) conference held in Tasmania.

This award recognises ACRRM and Rural Doctors Association members who have provided outstanding advocacy and medical service to their community to ensure the maintenance of the highest quality of generalist skills, particularly in procedural practice.

This award is offered in honour of the late Dr Peter Graham

AO, who passed away in 2008 aged 80.

Dr Graham provided dedicated service as a doctor in Cohuna, in rural Victoria, for nearly 50 years.

Mark Zagorski, affectionately know as Zag, has been practising in Mount Beauty since 1981.

He has served the Victorian alpine community of Mount Beauty for more than 40 years, as well as the nearby ski resort of Falls Creek and other towns in the region.

ACRRM president, Dr Ian Halliday, said Dr Zagorski is one of those exceptional rural doctors who is not only an icon in his local community, but more widely across the profes-

sion of rural medicine.

“As a dedicated teacher and mentor to the many medical students, registrars and interns who have passed through his town, Mark has been instrumental in the recruitment of doctors to his community, including his own daughter Laura,” Dr Halliday said.

Laura now owns Mark’s share of his practice.

An active medical trainer to the Falls Creek Ski Patrol, providing regular training to ensure they can cope with the trauma that occurs on the ski slopes, he also provides regular training sessions to the local hospital nursing staff as well as health education to lo-

cal community groups.

Dr Zagorski was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2019, and was named RDAA’s Rural Doctor of the Year in 2008.

He said Dr Graham was the quintessential rural GP. “He was an inspiration and mentor to me and I was proud to work alongside him for many years on the RDAV Committee,” Dr Zagorski said.

“I continue to enjoy working in my community as a rural GP and am extremely honoured to receive the Peter Graham Cohuna Award in recognition of my work, but I must thank my wife Jane and my practice team who have been with me all the way.”

HONOURED: Dr Mark Zagorski from Mount Beauty Medical Centre.

Council grants Freedom of Entry

By BRODIE EVERIST

UNDER INSPECTION: Mayor John Forsyth inspecting the troops.

ONLOOKERS lined Ireland Street for the 4th/19th Prince of Wales’s Light Horse Regiment’s Freedom of Entry parade in Bright last Saturday, recognising the regiment’s long association with the town and celebrating the Bright RSL’s 100th anniversary.

The ceremony began at around 11am when the regiment began marching from Park Street at around 11am, with swords drawn and accompanied by a military band.

Before they reached Mafeking Square they were halted by Senior Sergeant Doug Incoll, as per tradition.

The commanding officer of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Duncan Munro, was then given a scroll conferring on the unit Freedom of Entry, allowing them to enter the town with swords drawn, bayonets fixed, drums beating, guidons flying and band playing.

Mayor John Forsyth was then invited to inspect the regiment.

“This ceremony is a significant honour bestowed upon a military unit by the community; it’s also an opportunity for our community to express gratitude for the dedication and valour of the soldiers who have safeguarded our nation,” Cr Forsyth said.

“This is the first time the Alpine Shire Council has granted freedom of entry to any military unit.

“It is an event that pays tribute to the history of military involvement in our region and honours the local families whose loved ones served in the light horse during World Wars One and Two.”

After the inspection the regiment marched around Mafeking Square and returned to Park Street.

Freedom of Entry is reportedly a practice dating back hundreds of years, when troops were forbidden from entering cities unless they had been granted Freedom of Entry.

According to the Alpine Shire Council, the honour is the highest a city or town can confer on a military unit, and is a symbolic privilege demonstrating trust, loyalty and a sense of community between the city and the military unit.

According to council, between 1913 and 1918 C squadron of the 16th Light Horse, a predecessor to the 4/19th regiment, had troops stationed in Beechworth, Bright and Myrtleford with squadron headquarters in Wangaratta.

The squadron became the 8th Indi Light Horse in 1919 and operated in the region until 1941.

Cr Forsyth also said the 4th/19th regiment played a vital role in the alpine region during the bushfires of 20192020.

Lieutenant Colonel Munro said the unit has a long history, with members coming from Bright and other parts of the alpine region from prior to World War One. “It’s amazing to reinforce a historical connection that the regiment has with Bright and ensure that relationship continues with the community,” he said.

The next day the light horse regiment hosted a community event in Pioneer Park, showcasing technology and equipment used by the ADF and featuring drills by the regiment.

Friends look to support Dilor health resources

By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN LOCAL group Friends of Lacluta is seeking medical expertise support to help the under resourced Dilor Medical Centre in Timor Leste.

Located in the main village of Lacluta, the medical centre is one of many to support remote communities in Timor Leste with just three registered hospitals in the country.

Friends of Lacluta deputy chairperson Karen Jones

said during the group’s last visit they met with hospital officials and discussed their challenges and what they most needed in terms of equipment.

“A new ‘CEO’, Xefe Bendito, had been appointed to the sparsely resourced local medical centre, and he has demonstrated great motivation in seeking to improve the service it provides, with clearly articulated programs,” Ms Jones said.

“A priority list was pre-

sented to us, with time to discuss the items we might be able to support.

“There is a government process for the medical centre to order supplies, but this process still has major problems.”

Items on the Dilor Medical Centre priority list included basic medical equipment for checking blood pressure, temperature, weight, eyes and throat, stethoscope; reusable supplies such as birthing kit PPE and disposable gloves; and training

resources (CPR model and dental model).

“While this (Dilor Medical Centre) is not a regional hospital, they have many programs including maternal health, disability, mental health, childhood illness, environment/public health, pharmacy and dental,” Ms Jones said.

“There are 42 paid staff and 13 volunteers working out of these very basic facilities, with three smaller health outposts in remote

mountainous areas, under Mr Bendito’s direction.”

Ms Jones said the group will be looking for support from local medical facilities who may be able to supply or sponsor equipment on the medical centre’s priority list to be sent to Dilor on their next visit.

“We are looking to add some expertise in health and allied health disciplines to our 11 member committee,” she said.

“We would welcome talk-

ing to anyone who would be interested in joining our committee, or even coming on our next visit to Timor Leste in 2024 to see for themselves the local situation under which the Timorese medical staff operate.”

For more information visit the Friends of Lacluta Facebook page, website via: http://www.friendsoflacluta. org/ or contact Ms Jones via email; karenmarina17@ gmail.com or mobile; 0429 389 380.

With the help of Arthritis Australia, now known as Musculoskeletal Australia, Heather formed a group of three volunteers to undertake a three day course in Melbourne to become leaders and run classes, today there are 10 leaders.

What started as a group of three is now a group of just under 100.

Pottery devotee turns her hand to market sales

By BRODIE EVERIST

BOOT BONANZA: Doreen Hales and daughter Sue Hales will be holding stalls at this November’s Bright Lions Car Boot Sale.

PHOTO: Brodie Everist

DOREEN Hales is an avid collector or pottery; her garage is nearly full of cups, saucers, plates and tureens.

“I love all my pottery - I wouldn’t get rid of anything out of there if I didn’t have to,” she said.

But despite her passion, Ms Hales is doing her best to downsize, and that’s why she’ll be selling some of her quality ceramics, as well as clothes, leather handbags and linen, at the Bright Lions Car Boot Sale this November.

Ms Hales has a range of quality pottery, including Australian handmade Bendigo Pottery, as well as products by well-known English pottery makers Poole and German makers Arzberg.

Some of it she has carefully kept for years.

“The Bendigo Pottery I would have had since the 60s,” she said.

“I’ve got Arzberg pottery which was my very first dinner set.”

She said she has sold pottery at markets before, and has sold pieces to a dealer in Albury.

Her daughter Sue Hales, who will be selling plants and other items at the boot sale, said her mother’s goods are all quality.

“Whatever she brings will be

quality and it won’t be expensive because she’s as cheap as chips,” she said.

Doreen said her pottery is much cheaper than similar ceramics at department stores.

“Mine’s about a third of the price and it’s a lot of elegant stuff,” she said.

When deciding on the car boot sale, organiser Lisa Buckley said the Bright Lions wanted to establish an annual second-hand market for the community.

“Just before Christmas, everyone needs a bit of extra money,” she said.

“So it’d be a good idea to have a car boot sale so everyone can sell some of their stuff.”

As of last week, Ms Buckley said they had around 14 stalls booked, including two stalls of antiques and collectables, but they are taking registrations until around a week before the event.

She said there will also be food and drinks vendors, including the Bright Lions stall selling egg and bacon rolls, sausages in bread and other foods.

The car boot sale runs from 9am to 2pm on November 25 at Bright’s Pioneer Park, 64-72 Coronation Avenue.

For bookings and enquiries call Ms Buckley on 0408 392 919 or email admin@brightlions. org.au.

Ŷ Peugeot e-Partner adds an electric option for urban van operators.

Peugeot e-Partner Review

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY Marque Motoring PEUGEOT Partner is the smallest of the French carmaker’s commercial van range, sitting behind the mid-sized Expert and large Boxer.

There are three grades – City, Pro and Premium – with the choice of short and long wheelbases in Pro and Premium.

The range also includes the e-Partner, the first fully-electric Peugeot to come here.

Our test vehicle, the fullyelectric e-Partner Pro LWB is priced at $59,990 plus onroad costs.

Petrol versions range from $32,990 for the SWB City to $43,490 for the LWB Premium.

STYLING Partner is a neat and attractive vehicle with a relatively small grille above a blackcheckered fill.

The side features scalloped inserts above both wheel arches and parallel cladding at the bottom of the doors.

Although the two premium variants come with 16-inch alloy wheels, the e-Partner Pro gets 16-inch steel.

LWB Premium and e-Partner are 4.75 metres long, just over 2.10 metres wide with mirrors open and stand just under 1.90 metres high.

Turning circle is 11.4 metres.

With the batteries in e-Partner located under the floor load volume is 3.9 cubic metres and it can carry a 735 kg of payload.

INTERIOR Partner City and e-Partner come with two bucket seats

but with no centre console or storage space between them.

There are cup holders at the top of the dashboard for both driver and passenger.

Pro and Premium petrol variants get three bucket seats.

While the centre seat is too small for travelling any distance it can be folded back and locked in at 90-degrees to provide the sort of storage that you’d normally get in a centre console.

Alternatively, with the base in place, the backrest can fold forward to reveal a flat desktop which can slide forward to open up a small space for pens, notepads and the like. It can even swivel sideways.

All models get the Peugeot i-Cockpit dashboard design which has been progressively added to the company’s passenger vehicles with each upgrade.

The small, chunky steering wheel might look a bit out of place in a commercial vehicle but it feels nice and, importantly, sits below the level of the instrument cluster, avoiding the need to look through it at the dials.

Access to the storage area is through sliding doors on both sides or rear barn doors which can be locked in at 90-degrees or opened to a full 180-degrees.

The interior can cater for a 1.2-metre square pallet.

Maximum payload in the short wheelbase model is 898kg and 1000kg in the LWB. ENGINES/TRANSMISSIONS The petrol Partner models have a 1.2-litre Euro-6 compli-

ant three-cylinder PureTech turbo-petrol engine.

It generates 81kW in the Partner City and 96kW in the other variants, with 230Nm of torque in both tunes.

Power is transmitted to the front wheels through an eightspeed automatic transmission with a six-speed manual for City. e-Partner is powered by a single electric motor linked to a 50kWh lithium-ion battery that produces 100kW of power and 260Nm of torque and delivers a WLTP range of 258km.

While that range is relatively low when compared with passenger EVs, e-Partner is unlikely to spend much time outside of urban areas and so will never be far away from charging infrastructure.

SAFETY Standard safety features across the entire Partner range include six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution with brake assist, hill start assist, programmable cruise control, speed limiter, rear parking sensors and 180-degree reversing camera. e-Partner also gets an Acoustic Vehicle Alert System that generates an artificial sound when travelling at low speed to alert pedestrians.

INFOTAINMENT Display is through an 8.0inch colour touchscreen (5.0inch in City) mounted at the centre top of the dashboard.

The picture is sharp and clear, especially important for the reversing camera which plays such an important role

in any van without side or rear windows.

All models above City get built-in satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, DAB digital radio and voice recognition.

The screen in the e-Partner also displays an ‘electric’ menu where you can view live energy flows, consumption statistics and the ability to schedule a delayed charge.

DRIVING The e-Partner is a surprisingly enjoyable vehicle to drive, more like an SUV than a van and with the normal EV benefits of sharp acceleration and smooth, silent running.

Visibility to the front 180-degrees is excellent with large windscreen, side windows and mirrors.

To rear it’s a different story, with no windows on the side or rear of the vehicle.

The rear vision camera does have a wide span but caution is needed when reversing.

There are three driving modes in e-Partner: Eco providing 60kW and 190Nm, Normal (80kW/210Nm) and Power (100kW/260Nm) with that last mode ideal for transporting heavy loads. e-Partner comes with a Mode 3 public station charging cable but, oddly, not the usual domestic cable which needs to be purchased separately.

Indicative charging times are about 7.5 hours from 0-100-percent via a 7.4kW Wallbox, or around 30 minutes with a rapid charge from 0-80-percent capacity via a 100kW DC charger.

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE PARTNER CITY SWB: $32,990 (MANUAL) PARTNER PRO SWB: $37,990 (AUTOMATIC) PARTNER PRO LWB: $40,990 (AUTOMATIC) PARTNER PREMIUM SWB: $40,490 (AUTOMATIC) PARTNER PREMIUM LWB: $43,490 (AUTOMATIC) PEUGEOT E-PARTNER LWB: $59,990 (EV) NOTE: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Peugeot dealer for drive-away prices.

SPECIFICATIONS (Peugeot e-Partner Pro LWB electric vehicle) POWERTRAIN BATTERY TYPE: Lithium-ion BATTERY CAPACITY: 50 kWh ON BOARD CHARGER: 74. kW MAXIMUM POWER: 100 kW MAXIMUM TORQUE: 260 Nm WLTP EV RANGE: 258 km STANDARD WARRANTY: Five years / 200,000 kilometres Eight years / 160,000 km (battery)

The charging point is located at the left-side rear.

With the battery fully charged the range showed at 282km, quite a bit above the WLTP range of 258 km.

At motorway speed it dropped quite dramatically, however, 4km for each kilometre travelled – but then levelled out when we hit the suburbs.

SUMMING UP Load-carrying is obviously the e-Partner’s number-one priority, but it also offers comfort and refinement.

That’s partly because it’s

sold in some markets as a small people mover.

It’s neat, functional and easy to drive with good cabin and load space.

Above the entry-level City variant there’s a good level of safety equipment.

Mount Beauty golfers thrive in the sun THE men of the Mount Beauty Golf Club went out to tackle the front nine on Wednesday, October 25 October on a beautiful day in the sun to see a visitor, Andy Cook from Bright, show them how to play the course and score 23 points.

Runner-up was Ron Gallagher with 22 points, followed by Ross Rynehart on 21.

The course is in great condition as witnessed by the fact that golfers had to play to their handicap to even get in fifth place.

NTP on the seventh was Ron

Gallagher, along with the Tatts Ticket from the Tawonga South Newsagency & Post Office, and the ninth went to Victor Selway.

On the same day, the ladies played a nine hole Stableford (front nine) which was won

by Gayle Jennings (52) with 17 points.

Runner-up was Helen Whittaker (37) with 15 points, and NTP second hit on the seventh was Gayle Jennings.

The Saturday, October 28 back nine Stableford winner was Carol Bartholomew (33)

with 17 points.

Runner-up was Liz Harvey (26) with her 15 points, and NTP second hit on 18th was Liz Harvey.

A field of 21 men tried to beat the course in a Par comp on Saturday.

Achieving this with a +2 was Don Mason - other good golfers were David Drew, Rick and Gerard Biesboer, and Stephen Short with +1.

A total of 13 birdies were scored in the round.

NTP on the seventh was Vic-

tor Selway, along with the Tatts Ticket from the Tawonga South Newsagency & Post Office, and the ninth went to the club.

Joe Mero got closest on the 17th while Roger Church took home the money on the 18th.

On Wednesday, November 15 the ladies will be joined by the Beechworth Ladies for an Ambrose or similar game.

The club says it will be great to have some players from another club visit as they now have a few extra women playing in competitions.

OVER the last two weekends the Myrtleford Bowls Club was privileged to hold the State Ladies and Men’s Fours Championships and demonstrated the club could do it brilliantly with beautiful surroundings.

The greens received great accolades for both their speed and true lines, along with the club’s catering and welcoming hospitality provided by wonderful volunteers.

The winning men’s team of Rob Bartel, Rob Mitchell, Ethan Fruend, and Ian Brimblecombe won 12 shots to 11 in a nail-biter.

The ladies winning team of Jan Hermassoo, Barb McDonald, Jodie Fruend and Rhoanna Smith held off a spirited fight to take the result by four shots.

Last Tuesday, saw Myrtleford play the first round of midweek pennant in A1 to go down by just one shot in a heart breaker against Yarrawonga.

Senior success and pennant play for Bright bowlers A GROUP of four men from the Bright Bowls Club played at Myrtleford in the Ovens & Murray Bowls Region’s Over 60s competition last Monday.

The competition was very well attended, with 14 teams from around the region played on the day.

Bright won the day, being the only team to take home three wins, consisting of skip Ernie Vanderwert, lead Gilbert Griffith (a reasonably new bowler for Bright), second Greg Pepyat, and third Trevor Poyner.

Vanderwert was very pleased, and said he has played in many Over 60s competition days with

Mick Dwyer’s rink secured two points for the club with a 19/18 win as did Lance Symons 29/19.

In the B1 clash with Corowa RSL Myrtleford was outclassed by the opposition who won 70 shots to 43.

Last Saturday’s pennant results were close but went the other way, with the A1 team squandering a lead to go down to Wangaratta at Wangaratta on very fast greens 79 shots and four points to the hosts 87 and 14 points.

Mary Tragardh won 27/16 and Lance Symons won 29/19.

The B1 team lost to Moyhu 52 shots to 53 - only skipper Mark Simpson with Royston Smith, Glenys Pepyat and Helen Murtagh securing two points for the club with a convincing 20 shots to 10 win.

The B3 team was outplayed by Dederang 76 shots to 42, but Pippa LaSpina’s team with Kath Wood, Norm Vonarx and Brian ‘Tiny’ Kendall had a great win 22 shots to 21.

“They played a very structured, respectable game, but ultimately when you come up against a team like us that just comes out there and fights super hard for every possession, it’s hard to put points on the board.”

Myrtleford’s Jalen Barker top scored for the Saints with 25 points, while Ryley Bouker only hit three pointers in his 15 point game.

Gebaur said the first half of the season had given him faith his side had what it took to go all the way.

“I think taking down Albury who, prior to this weekend were on top of the ladder, really just proves we are one of those teams that needs to be in the conversation of teams who can win it all, we’re absolutely capable of it,” he said.

“Are we the favourites? Probably not, but are we definitely capable? I think it would be a foolish view if you didn’t think we were.

“The professionalism we’re getting from the boys across the board is making my job a whole lot easier, they go out there and take care of business – win or lose, they come in and they walk out the same.

“It’s really good to be involved with a program and a group of guys who are just there to get the job done, there’s no drama around it.

“I want to see this back half of the season go quite successfully, we’ve got a reasonably tough run but I think we’ll compete really well and hopefully we can get over the line there.”

The Saints take on their only double-header this weekend, up against Seymour on the road on Saturday before returning home to play Wodonga Wolves.

Mammoth chase on the Power short cards for A grade Tigers with

the bat

By NATHAN DE VRIES OVENS Valley United’s A grade side has an uphill challenge this weekend to finish off their first two-day fixture of the season against Delatite at Lords Reserve in Mansfield.

After winning the toss and choosing to chase, the Tigers managed to bowl Delatite out for the substantial total of 207 runs.

An 83-run second wicket partnership between Nick Scales (67) and Gregor Fraser (18) put the home side into triple figures before Gurjot Gosal slid one past Scales’ defences and into the poles.

One wicket brought more, and Delatite crashed from 2/103 to 5/118 with Glenn White and Mikka Paulsen picking up handy wickets.

Nicholas Bogar (38), Ben Martin (25) and Mitchell Purcell (20) contributed handily for Delatite as Ovens Valley’s Sam Piazza went about clearing up the tail.

Piazza was the pick of the bowlers, ending with 3/24 from his eight overs, while Cooper Thomason (2/25 from 13) and Gurjot Gosal (2/32 from 20) bowled the bulk of the overs for the Tigers.

Skipper Dylan Bursill said the total was below par for such a fast ground at Lords Reserve.

“The Lords ground was pretty quick, so it was good to keep them to 200 when they batted quite well,” he said.

“I think it’s probably a bit below par considering how quick the ground was – there were a lot of balls beating the inner field and we just couldn’t track them down until they hit the fence because the outfield’s a bit bare at the minute because they’ve had a bit of drainage problems.

“We dropped a few catches too which was disappointing, but overall we fielded quite well on the ground from what we could do “I think 200’s definitely gettable if we apply ourselves right, because we’ve found out we’ve got quite a deep batting order.

“Hopefully the top order can stick it out this week, because we’ve struggled a bit up top so far, but we’re backing our players in to bat all day and get the runs.”

Bursill said his bowlers per-

OVER THE LINE: Delatite’s Nick Scales makes his ground before Ovens Valley United wicketkeeper Nick Impink can whip off the bails.

PHOTOS: Ken Rainsbury formed well in partnerships, keeping the pressure on Delatite’s batters.

“Once our fella ‘Gosi’ (Gurjot Gosal) came on, he bowled really well in partnership with Glenn White - they really restricted the runs and built pressure, and we eventually got a couple of wickets through that partnership bowling,” Bursill said.

“He (White) bowled nine overs straight, only went for nine runs including a four in his last over, and that kind of bowling really builds pressure.

“Everyone bowled pretty well in patches, there were a few loose balls, a few nicks that went through the slips, so a couple of the boys’ figures didn’t show how well they bowled.”

With 208 needed for victory and a full day to bat out, Ovens Valley United’s batting line-up will need to play disciplined cricket.

Play resumes this Saturday from 1pm at Lords Reserve in Mansfield, with Ovens Valley United chasing 208 for victory over Delatite.

HEAD HUNTER: Trent Berry ducks under a viscious short ball.

“I think our top order, apart from him, the other top six batters made 26 runs between them and you’re not going to win many games of cricket with a lack of runs at the top of the order – it’s the batters’ job to make runs, and we didn’t do that.”

While the batting faltered, Saville said his bowlers performed well, and the whole squad would take that form and confidence into this weekend’s home game against the ever-competitive Yackandandah.

“They (Dederang) came out pretty comfortably – once they got that opening partnership as high as they did, there wasn’t much of a comeback chance,” Saville said.

“In saying that, we fought it out to the end.

“Craig Henderson (2/14) took two wickets late, he’s a very experienced bowler and did a lot right, and Eric Niedzwiedzki (1/16) had his first overs in first XI cricket and took his first wicket as well, so that was a highlight for the day.

“It’s an interesting one, Yackandandah has been the benchmark for the last few years but they might have a few missing from their best team in the past, but they’re a really competitive side.

“They’re not going to lie down and just roll over, they’re going to put in their best effort and they’re going to want to win, as do we.”

The Saints handed the former ladder leaders Albury Cougars their second loss of the season on Sunday at the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre with an 11 point win, 88-77.

Stellar defensive work from the Saints stunted Albury’s momentum, keeping them to just 10 points for the third quarter while Myrtleford

Alpine

COVERING THE ALPINE VALLEYS AND HIGH COUNTRY

notched up 22 of their own.

A blow-for-blow final quarter ended with the Saints triumphant, with coach Sam Gebauer overjoyed at the standard of basketball on display from his squad.

“We respected that Albury was going to be tough competition, but ultimately the boys really found their stride and it showed on the scoreboard,” he said.

“I was stoked at the way they played, they earned every bit of that.

The Alpine Alive supplement is the ultimate guide for locals and visitors alike, who are keen to explore everything the wonderful Alpine Valley and High Country has to offer.

“As a defensive team, we play quite good man defence in terms of the technical skill side of it, but we also have just the right amount of fire in our defence.

“We have guys that are willing to take the risks, play with that little bit of that bulldog mentality of ‘I’m going to get that ball’, and I think that’s what overwhelms the really structured and disciplined teams like Albury.

Whether it be local events, food and wine or exploring the region’s many natural attractions, Alpine Alive provides a comprehensive guide of things to do and see.

The new format Alpine Alive will be printed in full colour on premium white newsprint and will be published six times a year to coincide with key visitor times and local events.

As well as being inserted into the Myrtleford Times and Alpine Observer, the supplement will also be a stand alone publication with 500 extra copies being distributed at key tourism/visitor locations across the Alpine Shire and Visitor Information Centres throughout North East Victoria.

MOUNT Beauty’s first XI cricket side will want to forget about the weekend’s exploits and focus on the next match after a lacklustre performance with the willow.

The Power were bowled out for just 92 runs by Dederang, with the score surpassed in the 19th over of the chase with seven wickets in hand.

Chris Derrick top scored with an unbeaten 56 from 91 deliveries, which was the only highlight of the Power’s batting innings – the next stop scorer was Paddy Dodd with 13, with no other batter scoring more than four runs.

Skipper Daniel Saville said it was all but impossible to win games of cricket with that score on the board.

“We weren’t as assured as I’d like, we just seemed a little bit hesitant to take the game on at times, we were reactive rather than proactive with the bat especially,” he said.

“Clearly 92 runs is not enough to win a game of cricket most times, we just didn’t have enough runs on the board.

“We know we’ve got a really good batting lineup on paper, and we’ve shown that in most games over the last few years but it just didn’t click this week.

“Chris Derrick held the innings together, he scored more than half of our runs, it would’ve been very difficult without him and his efforts.
