Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Steve Dimopoulos announced the funding on Friday.

“The upgrades will provide even more reasons

for tourists to holiday in this magnificent region,” he said.

“And that’s a win for local businesses and jobs.”

Craig Johnson has been the club’s commodore for six years and was very

pleased when he got the news.

“We are over the moon,” he said.

“This redevelopment will help us operate year-round and we can’t wait to share our facilities with visitors and the local community.

“We have a really dedicated and hard working committee that have been instrumental in the

paperwork and getting it over the line.

“It’s been a lot of hard work by the boat club, in conjunction with the Goughs Bay Progress Association, the Shire of Mansfield, and the Bendigo Bank - Kirsten Alexander (Shire CEO) and Kaylene Conrick (former Shire CEO) were especially a great help in all of this.”

The club is 60 years old and has been volunteer run for its entirety.

“We have increased the local tourism market and brought more residents to the area, but we need to modernise and make it userfriendly,” said Mr Johnson.

“We’ve already worked hard for years to constantly do improvements and we are quite excited for this grant.”

The expansion will see the club increase its bistro and entertainment space to accommodate an additional 20 per cent patronage and allow the venue to operate year-round.

Additionally, it will deliver carpark upgrades and improve access to the boat ramp and the clubhouse from the shoreline.

Retail giants deny rumours of new Mansfield stores Bunnings and ALDI confi firm they have no current p plans to open p stores in Mansfield

BEANNIE BOO HOO! For some reason TY has stopped exporting their highly popular range of plush toys to Australia, but we have sourced as much of the remaining stock as possible, Including Halloween and Christmas toys as well as your normal favorites. But once the stock is sold, that’s it. There is no more.

Also a new shipment of Lego has arrived so time to think of Xmas.

MANSFIELDNEWSAGENCY 57-59 High Street Mansfield Phone 57752649

SWIRLING rumours around town continue to say it’s a ‘done deal’ that retail giants Bunnings and ALDI are coming to town.

But despite the resolve of those with evidence to support their case, including talk of potential employees being contacted and tradespeople engaging in construction discussions, both businesses have officially denied plans to open a store in Mansfield.

‘Very reliable’ informants said in 2019 there was a ‘very real possibility’ of Bunnings setting up shop at the old saleyards site in Mansfield.

Subsequent rumblings cited potential locations at the old timber mill site on Deadhorse Lane and near the commercial complex on Mount Buller Road.

But those rumours were dismissed by Bunnings director of property, Andrew Marks.

Mr Marks elaborated at the time, “Benalla remains an area of interest for us and we would consider opening a store there in the future should the right opportunity become available.”

Three years on and Benalla is yet to get a Bunnings; however,

SNAGGED: Bunnings confirmed this week that they have no plans in place to open a store in Mansfield at the present time. PHOTO: Bunnings Mansfield locals think the goal posts may have shifted since then, with most recent census data indicating huge growth in Mansfield and only a trickle in the neighbouring rural city.

An area near the showgrounds had since been suggested, until the most recent rumours pointed to a future industrial estate

between Lakins Road and Deadhorse Lane, opposite the racecourse on the Midland Highway.

This location has been earmarked as a prime location for future industrial development, in an independent report from Charter Keck Cramer submitted to council for their proposed Commercial and Industrial

Land Use Strategy finalised in April 2021.

Within the ministerial explanatory report for amendment C51 of the Mansfield Planning Scheme, it noted to:  Investigate the creation of an industrial/business park subdivision on the Lakins Road site  Investigate land to the east and west of the Lakins Road depot site for long term future industrial zone The location piqued further interest amongst locals after council removed an item from their most recent meeting agenda a few days after its release, which was entitled ‘Lakins Road Industrial Precinct Master Plan Project’.

Council confirmed the matter, which would have been confidential, was not discussed at the most recent meeting.

The matter likely had to do with council’s depot and a industrial/business park subdivision, not the private property to the east, but nevertheless, it fuelled speculation in town.

Bunnings confirmed this week that while they regularly review opportunities to improve their existing store network, they have no plans in place to open a store in Mansfield.

ALDI also told Courier this week that while they will always consider the feasibility of new locations, at this stage, they had no immediate plans for a store in Mansfield.

This echoed the supermarket’s response to rumours in 2015.

Of course, things can change and rather quickly, as has been evidenced in Mansfield with the thriving residential development.

The owner of the Lakins Road/ Deadhorse Lane property on the Midland Highway confirmed plans for future industrial development of the land, but said that he hadn’t spoken with Bunnings or ALDI about acquiring a site, and had only heard the rumours like everyone else.

INSET: UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The Goughs Bay Boat Club started construction back in 1962.

thedelatitehotel.com.au

$1.5 million to Goughs Bay From page 1 The works will also better protect the lake by building supporting infrastructure to reduce erosion from boat users walking on the beach and shoreline It will also serve as a relief centre during bushfires and other emergencies.

The full development is expected to cost $2 million, with a further $445,250 being contributed by the club itself, as well as a $60,000 donation from the Mansfield and District Community Bank.

“This is an important step in realising the priorities in the Lake Eildon Masterplan,” said Mansfield mayor, Cr James Tehan.

“I’m pleased to see that our advocacy efforts have resulted

in the funding being provided to develop what I’m sure will be a very exciting project to be enjoyed by the Goughs Bay and wider community.”

But Mr Johnson said it isn’t simply an extension of the boat club, it will turn the facilities into a true multipurpose community space.

“The progress association will be able to utilise the facility, whereas they really didn’t have anything before.

“They will have meetings and Pilates and line dancing, things like that.

“The focus is on the community, not just on the tourism and the bistro.

“It’s all about making the community the winners.”

The project is also aligned

of the

Pet Week

with the broader Lake Eildon Masterplan, which aims to increase the region’s visitor economy by $470 million over the next 10 years and create an additional 2500 local jobs.

“This is a fantastic outcome for Goughs Bay,” said Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes.

“This project will encourage people to stay longer and enjoy all the region has to offer.”

Lake Eildon is already one of Victoria’s most recognisable and popular recreational lakes and the government said the investment is aimed at helping entice even more visitors to the region.

“Lake Eildon and its natural surrounds hold a special place for many Victorians,” added Minister for Regional

“

Development Harriet Shing.

“This support will help protect the lakeside environment and allow more people to discover this beautiful part of the High Country.”

The project is expected to create up to 30 construction jobs and a further 13 ongoing employment positions.

Mr Johnson confirmed that the first instalment of the grant had already been delivered.

“Now we have to go through the whole process of applying for building permits and everything,” he said.

“But it’s already underway and after the tourism season finishes, we’ll be able to start some groundworks.”

The whole works are expected to be finished in mid-2024.

‘The Commons’ to the rescue

By SHAUN McMAHON A MOTION has been unanimously passed at the most recent Mansfield Shire Council meeting for a planning application on land located at 2-4 and 8-10 Station Street (previously Ultimo St).

The proposal, being referred to as ‘The Commons’, seeks to develop the land with a food and drink premises (café and restaurant/bar), four shops, a microbrewery/distillery and education centre for young chefs.

The site has been marred by controversy when previous applications for what was believed to be a McDonald’s franchise and then a truck stop/roadhouse were thwarted following public furore and a pair of VCAT hearings.

Now the site will become home to an enterprise that “offers a land use outcome that will make a positive impact on Mansfield, bolstering local jobs and tourism,” according to Robbie McKenzie, town planner for the applicant.

Kim Lynch, speaking at the council meeting on behalf of Mansfield Matters Group (MMG), said they broadly supported the application following the past two and half years of vast community time.

“What is proposed under the banner of ‘The Commons’, on sensitive land, opposite the station precinct and heritage museum site, is a vastly different proposition from before, which MMG broadly supports,” said Ms Lynch.

“Having said that, it’s not perfect.

“We still have some concerns around acoustics for the community, stormwater management, and car parking.

“Operation hours and signage also needs to be considered.”

Ms Lynch noted that although the plans did contain a peak height for the building in excess

W PLANS: An upstairs educational area will be tied in with the kitchen, attracting the next generation of young chefs to the region, who will have a genuine “employment pathway” where they can “learn from the best.” of current guidelines (which are nine metres maximum), it was an area they were prepared to “give a little” considering the nature of the application and the building having a sloping roofline that would be much lower in areas abutting residential properties.

“Thank you to the community; we think everyone has had an achievement here, including the applicant,” Ms Lynch concluded.

There were still some objectors to the current plans, however, with a few community members expressing concerns around the size of car parking spaces and safety within the carpark.

Melissa Crane, Manager Planning and Environment at Mansfield Shire Council, said the plans contained 59 car spaces

and changes had been made in an attempt to address these concerns.

“Garden beds have been made smaller to make more space and one way driveways will alleviate some of these concerns and ensure safety,” said Ms Crane.

Director and partner of ‘The Commons’, Scott Dungan, expressed his excitement and enthusiasm for the project via a statement read to council.

“The intention is to create a venue in celebration of the northeast area,” he said.

“One that employs world’s best practice in every way while working with the finest producers from the region and a guest experience that resonates with a sense of place unlike any other.”

Mr Dungan also posited that the upstairs educational area

will be tied in with the kitchen, attracting the next generation of young chefs to the region, who will have a genuine “employment pathway” where they can “learn from the best.”

“I think it will be a good place to go and I look forward to them building it,” said Cr Steve Rabie.

Cr Rohan Webb also supported the project.

“It’s a really fantastic outcome, to be able to work with an applicant following something that was publicly denounced and undesirable, to turn it around to become a tourist attraction that’ll add to the community, is a great outcome,” he said.

The motion was unanimously passed as it’s anticipated that building on the site will commence within the next two years.

PRAYERS: Volunteer police chaplain Captain Peter Wright addressed the gathering for Police Remembrance Day giving prayers for the fallen and for those who still serve.

REMEMBERING THE FALLEN: A short memorial service, led by Senior Sergeant Steve Carden (front) was held at the Mansfield Police Station.

Fallen comrades remembered Police P li R Remembrance b D Dayy iin M Mansfi field ld h honors p past offi fficers

By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY MANSFIELD Police officers gathered at the police station last Thursday to pay tribute to fallen colleagues as part of National Police Remembrance Day. For the first time since 2019, Victoria Police employees, family, friends, and the community gathered in person to honor the sacrifice of police who have died in the line of duty.

As local police officers and guests arrived for the Mansfield remembrance service the song ‘Uphold the Right’, written by Ronda Blair was played.

Mansfield Senior Sergeant Steve Carden led the memorial service with Police Chaplain, Captain Peter Wright, Inspector Dave Ryan, Superintendent Matthew Ryan and retired Queensland Veteran Police Officer Don Goldsworthy were among the 20 plus officers, staff and former serving officers in attendance.

Captain Wright said it was with deep gratitude that on this day we recall those police officers throughout Australasia and the South-West Pacific who have given their lives in the line of duty.

“We remember especially the 175 VicPol men and women who, since the formation of Victoria Police in 1853, have paid the supreme sacrifice whilst serving with Victoria Police.

“We gather now to honor their memory and to support their loved ones by our presence, out thoughts and our prayers.”

Inspector Ryan also addressed the group saying law enforcement is a unique profession that should promote pride in service and dedication to duty, foster-

ing a sense of camaraderie among officers.

“A National Remembrance Day for police officers killed in the line of duty encourages officers and their families to honor the memory of colleagues who have given their lives in the service of the community.

“It focuses public attention on the men and women of police forces throughout Australia, whose responsibilities are to engage public peace and good order.

“It reminds us all of the difficulties they face in

bearing these responsibilities.”

Sergeant Mark Ross read the names of 12 Victoria police officers, protective services officers, police custody officers and public servants who have died over the past 12 months through illness or other circumstances.

Leading Senior Constable Kim Pelling read the Police Ode before the flag was raised from half-mast to fullmast.

The group then walked to the memorial at the roundabout to lay a wreath in memory of those lost lives.

The wreath was laid by Superintendent Matthew Ryan, previous superintendent of the local area who served in this district from 2017 to May 2022 and said he was honored to return to Mansfield for this day.

He was accompanied by 1st Constable Andrew Brazzle of Mansfield Police.

National Police Remembrance Day coincides with Blue Ribbon Day, an initiative of the Blue Ribbon Foundation which raises money for new facilities and equipment at emergency departments named in memory of fallen officers in Victoria’s public hospitals.

Female cancers still missing from presumptive rights I’VE long pushed the government to strengthen firefighter safety and protection and I support any research that reduces firefighters’ exposure to high-risk chemicals and other impacts.

Australia, with Canada, is leading the world in this field.

With our long and often savage exposure to bushfire, we could also lead the world and make sure that those who risk their lives for our communities’ safety can rely on a fair, robust presumptive rights compensation scheme when the worst happens.

I’ve been pressing the state government for almost a year to add female-specific ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers to Victoria’s presumptive rights

schedule, which covers diseases acquired because of your job.

The World Health Organisation’s cancer research agency has since reclassified firefighting as carcinogenic to humans.

This comes when the latest data shows about 5000 volunteer and career female firefighters help to protect our communities and yet female-specific reproductive cancers are absent from the current schedule when male reproductive cancers are included.

Emergency Services Minister Jaclyn Symes MP recently said the government’s “working hard to ensure women are encouraged to become firefighters”.

That’s why it puzzles me and many female firefighters that the state’s presumptive rights scheme remains unfair and unequal.

The government has the power to change this without delay.

Tania Maxwell MP, Member for Northern Victoria

La Nina declared - above average rainfall expected AS previously predicted, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has declared a La Nina event is underway in the Pacific Ocean, with communities in eastern Australia encouraged to prepare for above-average rainfall over spring and early summer.

Bureau of Meteorology head of long-range forecasts Dr Andrew Watkins said the bureau’s three-month climate outlook shows a high chance of above average rainfall for most of the eastern half of the Australian mainland and eastern Tasmania.

“During La Nina events, waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are cooler than normal, and waters in the western tropical Pacific Ocean warmer than normal,” Dr Watkins said.

“This causes changes in wind, cloud and pressure patterns over the Pacific.

“When this change in the atmosphere combines with changes in ocean temperature, it can influence global weather patterns and climate, including increasing rainfall over large parts of Australia.”

Dr Watkins said while La Nina criteria have been met, most models forecast this event to be weak to moderate in strength, likely to peak during spring and ease during summer.

“La Nina is not the only driver influencing this wet outlook,” he said.

“To our west, a significant negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event is underway.

“We expect the IOD influence

MORE RAIN TO COME: With La Nina being declared, the Bureau of Meteorology is expecting increased rainfall across eastern parts of Australia. will reduce in late spring or early summer.

“The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is also in a positive phase, and likely to remain positive into summer.

“Positive SAM during summer pushes weather systems south, which increases the chance of rain in New South Wales, eastern Victoria and southern parts of Queensland.”

Dr Watkins said all these climate influences push Australia’s

climate towards a wetter phase, and together have shaped an outlook for the coming months that shows more than 80 per cent chance of above average rainfall for many parts of the eastern half of Australia.

With catchments already wet, the flood risk remains, particularly for eastern Australia.

The Climate Council’s director of research Dr Simon Bradshaw agreed that more Australians would be at risk of flooding.

“A third consecutive La Nina is likely to bring above average rainfall on an already saturated east coast, spelling tough times ahead for many Australians,” he said.

“The risk of extreme rainfall and flooding is also exacerbated by climate change, driven by the burning of coal, oil and gas.”

The bureau is encouraging communities to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings on the bureau’s website and BOM weather app.

FINE NEEDLEWORK: Embroidery, sewing, baby clothes and more were displayed in the ‘infants corner’ of the display where a well preserved cradle was also exhibited.

BRODERIE ANGLAISE: The story of ‘cotton lace’ broderie anglaise went on display with several pieces for viewing.

TEA TIME: This fine china tea service was on display near the entrance to the exhibition.

Taking a ‘Step Back in Time’ SEVERAL hundred people visited the Mansfield Historical Society’s exhibition ‘Step Back in Time’ held over three days at St John’s Hall last week.

Just a snippet of the thousands of exhibition pieces held in the Society’s storerooms went on display, taking people back to as far as the 1700s.

Believed to be one of the oldest pieces was a circa 1700 wooden rocking cradle.

Society member, Julie War-

ren proudly displayed another beautifully preserved baby cradle which she had slept in as a small baby and said her mother purchased it at an auction for just five shillings (50 cents).

Exquisite tea services, finest embroidery, tatting, crochet and knitted items dating back to the early 1900s were also on display.

Two special exhibition pieces were Graeme Stoney’s ‘little

red peddle car’ and Ms Warren’s mother’s evening gown made during WWII from cotton when there were no finer materials available for dressmaking.

Ms Warren said the dress was made by her mother to attend a ball which was part of a Red Cross charity fundraiser.

Being in the High Country, there were also saddles and some farming and early Mansfield photos on display.

Morning and afternoon teas were served by the ladies from St John’s Auxiliary.

“On the opening afternoon we had a group of residents from Bindaree Retirement Centre come and view the display which they all thoroughly enjoyed,” Ms Warren said.

Overall the exhibition was a huge hit with all who visited and money raised will go towards the building of displays at the new museum to be built in 2023.

FINEST LACE: Finely created lace collars worn by the ladies of the 1800s were also on display.

Fighting for our independence

By THE INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE LAST week, we printed the first in a series of articles from the organising committee planning the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the new Mansfield Shire Council.

In the lead up to the celebration event to be held on October 22 at the Botanic Park, follow up articles will tell the story of how we regained local government dedicated to the Mansfield Shire.

Newer members of our community may be surprised to learn that the Shire had to be re-established only a short a time ago following the forced amalgamation with Benalla to form the Delatite Shire Council.

Don Cummins, one of the de-amalgamation drivers, has provided the following brief explanation of our Shire’s recent, turbulent history and the work undertaken by the community to regain our independence: In 1994 the Liberal Government of Jeff Kennett decided to join Victoria’s 210 councils to form just 78.

This did not matter much to city councils where services were frequent and plentiful.

For geographically larger

THE 2000 CREW: Delatite Shire Councillors Jessica Graves, Steve Junghenn, Don Cummins and Will Twycross. country shires like Mansfield, which was forced to join up with Benalla, it proved disastrous.

Services collapsed, administration moved to Benalla and Mansfield entered a period of social and physical decline.

It was brought home to locals that when local government is moved elsewhere, not only do the roads deteriorate, but other unrelated services such as the hospital and the schools suffer in a

spiral of declining funding and numbers.

This persisted throughout Kennett’s time until in 1999 a change of government alerted locals to the opportunity to ‘do something’.

An audacious plan was hatched to regain the Shire of Mansfield from the larger Benalla based Delatite Shire and four councillors from Mansfield were elected to attempt the impossible task of separating the Shire.

This process met with re-

sistance from both the new Labor Government that didn’t want to cause an avalanche of separating shires, and the heavier population centre of Benalla which didn’t feel Mansfield’s pain.

Yet the local people felt this decline and 1400 of them formed the Mansfield District Residents and Ratepayers Association dedicated to ‘Make Mansfield Matter’.

Other fortuitous events fell our way with the election of a government mem-

ber in Denise Allen, the first time Labor had beaten the National Party in the seat, largely due to the massive voter change in Mansfield.

As a result of the intense work of the four local councillors, the efforts of Ms Allen to bring her government and premier Bracks on board, and the amazing support of almost every ratepayer in Mansfield, the old shire boundaries were reinstated just two years later on 28 October 2002.

Tarra Bulga National Park Gippsland

There are two reasons to celebrate and remember this unique de-amalgamation of the old Delatite Shire: firstly, because it showed what a truly united and well led community can achieve in the face of indifference and downright governance failure.

The second is that we celebrate so that newer and younger members of the community can know that our present success and lifestyle is the result of a concerted effort.

And, if future government or corporate attacks are made on us, we are ready and able to insist on what is best for us and not be bulldozed from powers far away.

So, in the leadup to the 20th anniversary of regaining our own local government, the committee would like everyone know about the amazing recent history of the Mansfield Shire.

The community is invited to Botanic Park on October 22 at 10am when we celebrate our independence noting that we don’t always have to accept what others impose on us.

Next week’s article on the history of de-amalgamation will be from Will Twycross as he looks at the forces that pushed us into an amalgamation with Benalla.

Integrity in politics boosted Haines welcomes introduction of National Anti Corruption p Commission legislation g INDI Independent federal MP Helen Haines has welcomed the introduction of the legislation for the National Anti Corruption Commission by the government into the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Dr Haines has campaigned for a strong, independent integrity watchdog since being elected in 2019, introducing a bill to create the Australian Federal Integrity Commission in 2020 and again in 2021.

Dr Haines continued the work of the former Independent MP for Indi Cathy McGowan, who also introduced a bill for a federal integrity commission in 2018.

“This is a momentous day and it has been a long time coming,” Dr Haines said.

“It is the first time a government has introduced a bill for an integrity watchdog to parliament.

“Until now, all bills had come from the crossbench or the Greens.

“I am encouraged by what I have seen from the government so far.

“This bill includes many of the same features as my bill for the Australian Federal Integrity Commission, including a broad definition of corruption, the ability to

GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Indi Independent MP Helen Haines (front, centre) and other members of the crossbench in the House and the Senate entering parliament last Wednesday. take referrals from the public, one set of rules for all, retrospectivity and a statutory oversight committee.

“I am pleased to see a commitment to pro-integrity measures including prevention and education functions.

“This is an important pillar of stamping out corruption across government.”

Elements of the bill, including coverage of third parties, prevention and education measures and protection of whistleblowers, have been included since the government

began consultations with the crossbench over the development of the bill.

“It is clear to see in the bill that has been introduced that the government has listened to the concerns that I and other crossbenchers raised with the Attorney

General,” Dr Haines said.

“Genuine and constructive consultation on this important piece of legislation has lead to crucial changes.”

Dr Haines signalled she still holds concerns about some aspects of the bill.

“Under the government’s

bill, public hearings will only be held in exceptional circumstances and when in the public interest to do so,” she said.

“It is not clear why the ‘exceptional circumstances’ test has been included and I am concerned it creates an unnecessary extra hurdle when private hearings are already the default.

“I will be looking closely at the bill over the coming weeks to ensure each clause is appropriate and serves a strong, independent watchdog with the appropriate safeguards.”

Dr Haines has nominated to be a member of the joint select committee that will examine the bill before it goes to a vote.

“Throughout this process I have committed to work in good faith with the government to examine the bill and improve it where necessary and I intend to continue that through the committee process,” Dr Haines said.

“This is a once in a generation opportunity and I will be working hard to make sure we get it right.”

A committee will report back by November 10, which leaves enough room for the legislation to be passed this year

Artist takes flight with bird art in USA MANSFIELD’S TONY PRIDHAM GOUGHS Bay renowned artist and great-nephew of Sidney Nolan, Tony Pridham, has a passion for painting birds which has taken him all over the world including the international ‘Birds in Art’ exhibition in the USA, where he is currently the only Australian exhibitor with his Hummingbird painting.

The exhibition hosted by the Wisconsin, Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, is regarded as a prestigious showcase for the very best contemporary artistic interpretations of birds and related subject matter.

According to Tony, while there is no prize money, it is an opportunity to have your work displayed with some of the world’s best artists.

The launch of the 47th Birds in Art exhibition on September 10 was attended

by Tony and his partner Nicky Goudberg, and will run through to November 27.

“I have entered 11 times and got in 10 times, and visited the exhibition four times,” he said.

Competition was fierce for this year’s exhibition with 570 artists submitting 946 artworks for consideration by the three-person jury.

The artwork consists of original paintings, sculp-

The 2022 Birds in Art exhibition includes 23 who were named Master Artists during previous exhibitions, and 95 artists whose work was selected by the jury.

“At the end of the Wausau exhibition, it then travels

throughout the states for 12 months,” said Tony.

“Two galleries in the US have shown interest in selling my painting over there when the exhibition ends because it is very expensive to send artwork back to Australia.”

Back home Tony is now focused on his entry in the the Holmes Prize for Excellence in Realistic Australian

Bird Art being hosted by the Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra, in Maleny on the Sunshine Coast, with the winner to be announced on October 8.

Now in its sixth year, this award attracts Australia’s premier wildlife artists, many with international acclaim.

Tony is also enthusiastic about the upcoming MOST (Mansfield Open Studio

Trail) and how art can bring the whole community together.

His studio will be one of many open during the Melbourne Cup weekend.

For the last 35 years, Tony has honed his painting skills to become a pre-eminent wildlife artist, but Australian birds remain his favourite subjects.

It all began when Tony

was growing up with his parents, a brother and a sister in the Melbourne suburb of Strathmore and his professional painting career started early.

Yes, Sidney Nolan is his uncle, but Tony was the only member of his family who appeared to inherit the artistic gene, finding himself immediately drawn to the Gould League bird books held in the library at Essendon Technical College during the mid-seventies.

“It has always been birds for me,” he said.

“All my friends were out kicking the football or playing cricket and I was sitting in the library looking at bird paintings in books.”

After settling in King Lake for 10 years, Tony then moved to the High Country and since 2019, he and partner Nicky Goudberg - a professor of biology and a fellow artist - have owned and operated the High Country Maze, where he has set up a gallery in the midst of landscaped gardens.

Tony says the fact he paints every day within the studio and gallery is something which captivates the people who visit, especially when birds like King Parrots, Magpies and Blue Wrens fly inside from the garden.

You can read Tony’s full story in the latest issue of North East Living.

Dot Marks - 51 years at MPS I

T WAS on Dot Marks’ fifth birthday in 1948 that she began her education, catching the school bus from her Howes Creek home to Mansfield Higher Elementary School.

Only a few years prior, a government contract had been signed to bus children in from rural areas to a central school, and the initiative resulted in many small schools in the area being closed.

With numbers swelling at Mansfield, buildings were relocated and the school houses at Howes Creek, Barwite and Maindample became part of the Higher Elementary School.

“Gordon Grey and later Harold (Trenny) Trenfield were our bus drivers,” said Dot. “The bus stop was located on Minerva Street where the swimming pool is now, and we entered the school ground between the relocated Maindample School and the detached Barwite School, with the Howes Creek building to the east.

“The Maindample School is the only one that remains from this era of amalgamation, attached to the main office building.”

Dot fondly recounts time spent travelling home on the Howes Creek bus.

“One afternoon while travelling south of the Delatite River in an area that was known as Darlingford, (which is now under Eildon Weir) the bus axle broke,” she said.

“The bus went careering across the side of the road, coming to a stop just before the fence line.

“Luckily no one was hurt and we spent the afternoon playing until it grew dark and our parents were able to come and collect us.

“Another time, a new bridge was being built near the Reardon’s on Howes Creek Road.

“A temporary vehicle bypass was formed through the small creek.

“Our bus went into it.

“The back of the bus got stuck on the bank, with the front stuck on the opposite

TEACHING STAFF: The Mansfield Primary staff body in 1967 were (back row- left to right) Alf Bailey, Rhonda Rodwell, Joan McMillan, Ann Cunningham, Joyce Ross, Dot McLeod and Graeme Padbury, with Dot Marks, Margaret Dillon, Keith Olver (Headmaster), Frank Livingstone and Anne Hargreaves in the front row. INSET: SCHOOL BUS: Employed by Bulmers Bus Lines, Gordon Gray drove the Howes Creek bus route in the mid to late 1940s. side of the bank, the wheels suspended in mid-air.

“The bus had to be dug out.

“It was another time we played until dark.”

Dot has many fun memories from her schooling days.

On the bottom terrace, there was a maypole and monkey bars.

“We swung on the maypole until we had blisters on our hands,” she said.

“Unfortunately, after a few broken arms the maypole was removed.

“The monkey bars also met a similar fate.

“In the senior forms, we would go to the oval to practice for the sports or play tennis.

“The window of the sports room was always unlocked, and so after school and on the weekend, we could always access the sporting equipment.

“At the time we had only two sports houses, Batman which was green and

Fawkner which was yellow.

“In addition to the usual athletics events at the annual carnival, we also had a sack race, an egg and spoon race and a three legged race, along with tunnel ball, cross ball and formation marching.

“Another yearly event was the Afternoon School Party which was held at the Star Theatre, where Foodworks is now.

“Students from grade prep to four learnt singing games and folkdances which were performed for a parent audience.

“Here we go Looby Loo, The Grand Old Duke of York and Ring a Ring a Rosie were just a few that were performed.

“The School Ball was also an annual event for the older students, with students from grade five to matric training in ballroom and folk dancing at St John’s Hall in the buildup,” said Dot. “The popularity of the ball

meant it quickly outgrew the space at the RSL hall (which is now the Masonic hall), and it too was moved to the Star Theatre.

“We learnt everything from the Barn Dance to the Foxtrot to the Gypsy Tap Spanish Cavalier and Strip the Willow.

“We would dance from 8pm to 10.30pm, which was followed by the most sumptuous spread in the supper room, catered for by the Mothers’ Club.

“Those suppers will be forever imprinted in all our memories.

“They were absolutely first rate, and most certainly appreciated.”

The Mothers’ Club - who were affiliated with the Federation of Mothers’ Clubs - contributed significantly to the school through their fundraising activities, purchasing books and pictures, and in 1950, a new wireless and broadcast system.

“There were the usual fundraising activities like raffles and street stalls,

school fetes with homebaked cakes and handicrafts, plants and second stalls,” said Dot. “And then the volunteers also donated their time and energy to provide hot cocoa for the country bus children, and to cater for all the balls and parties and to staff the school canteen.”

Dot reminisces about being bused to Benalla in 1954 to see the new Queen Elizabeth.

“In 1956, 51 senior students travelled by train to Melbourne to visit the museum and attend the Olympics.

“In 1957, the senior forms flew to Tasmania for a week.

“And in 1960,” Dot said with a laugh,” the longawaited septic tank system was finally operational, much to everyone’s delight.”

Dot’s huge enjoyment of her schooling years would see her decide to follow teaching as her profession.

In 1966, after qualifying from Burwood Teachers College as an infant teacher and working at schools in

Nathalia and Grahamvale, Dot returned to her hometown, taking up a position at her old school in a composite class of preps and grade ones.

In the time since Dot had been a student, the school had been reclassified as Mansfield Primary School 1112, with the high school students moving to their new school on View Street.

“The plan of the school was still the same as my student days, except the cookery room was now the library and the needlework room was the staffroom,” said Dot. “And my classroom - room three - was the very same room I was in when I was in prep.

“The grade ones probably even sat at the same little desks, which were phased out the following year.”

It was also in 1966, that Prince Charles, who was a student at Timbertop at that time, visited the school with everybody assembled at the flagpole to meet him.

Dot would spend the next 40 years teaching at Mansfield Primary, watching the evolution from the school of her childhood with inkwells and pens, to blackboards and homemade flashcards and charts, to photocopiers and white boards.

“None of which can be seen in the school today,” she said.

“In the 1960s to mid-1970s, the class sizes averaged around 35 to 38.

“In 1967, I had 42 prep students in my class.

“It was the 1990s when class sizes dropped.

“There has been so much progress over the decades not least the introduction of specialist teachers - that it’s impossible to list everything,” she said.

“However, what I can definitely attest to is how much I’ve enjoyed my 51 years at the school.

“The unique children, their challenges and their imagination - I have such fond memories.

“It’s a great school,” she said.

McLeish and Libs promise mobile help LAST week State Liberal Member for Eildon Cindy McLeish said that innovation will be the key in a Liberal and Nationals’ plan to address regional Victoria’s mobile blackspots.

If elected in the upcoming election, she said residents in areas with poor mobile coverage would be eligible for a rebate to install mobile boosters in vehicles, homes and businesses.

Ms McLeish said, “People in the bush have had to put up with dodgy mobile phone connection for too long.

“This is an exciting program that will really help regional Victorians.”

The subsidy is part of a $150 million Connecting Country Communities program which will see better mobile coverage and broadband services for regional and rural areas.

The Connecting Country Communities program will also fund works to strengthen mobile towers, allowing people to stay in touch during emergencies.

“The hilly terrain and blackspots in our area can make it difficult for people to connect,” said Ms McLeish.

“Either they can’t get a signal, or it drops in and out, and it is exacerbated when the area is flooded with tourists.

“This can be a serious issue in times of emergency and is a challenge for families, kids doing homework and local businesses to overcome.”

In previous discussion on shire-wide connectivity issues after major tourism events, Mayor James Tehan commented that the shire no longer expects reasonable telecommunication access.

“We’re in a position where our community expects ser-

vices to fail when they need them most, and the telecommunication providers know about the issue and the vulnerable position it puts us in.

“Unfortunately our network fails to take into account the fluctuations of our population and high visitation to the region.

“We need infrastructure that supports our community to communicate and to conduct business,” he said.

Cr Tehan believes that the community needs a more reliable system overall that not only supports the local population, but also caters for times of high visitation to the region.

Ms McLeish agrees.

“Regional Victorians simply deserve a better connection,” she said.

“This rebate program would make a huge difference.”

Barriers to business on Great Valley Trail COMMUNITY and government leaders are set to meet on the Great Valley Trail in Freeburgh this week to discuss barriers preventing businesses from establishing along North East Victoria’s iconic cycle and rail trails.

A temporary pop-up event will provide rail trail users and invited guests with the services of a coffee and food vendor, demonstrating commercial services that are largely unable to operate along the newlyopened rail trail.

Attendees will include Ovens Valley MP Tim McCurdy, Alpine Shire Council mayor Sarah Nicholas, Alpine Shire Council chief executive officer Will Jeremy, and Tourism North East chief executive officer Bess Nolan-Cook.

“Alpine Shire and the State Government have invested in

and built outstanding rail and cycle trail infrastructure that brings many health, community and economic benefits,” Cazz Redding said on behalf of Green Tape, the organisers of the event.

“But it’s very difficult for businesses to open and operate along the trails due to restrictive land use zoning, permit barriers and unclear administrative processes.

“Poor activation of the rail and cycle trails not only affects the Alpine Shire, but occurs throughout North East Victoria.

“It means the facilities trail users and visitors need - like food and drinks - aren’t available.

“We are challenging the leaders of our business organisations, government departments and statutory authorities to work together to help find a solution.

“With attention from

those who make such great contributions to the amenity of our towns and shires, we are really hopeful that some workable solutions can be found.”

According to Green Tape, there is limited opportunity for users to access food and drink, accommodation and toilet facilities along the 27km Great Valley Trail, between Bright and Harrietville, due to restrictive land use zoning, permit and administrative barriers.

Green Tape is a group of five community members currently in the 2022 Alpine Valleys Community Leadership Program.

The Great Valley Trail was a $2.6m project jointly funded by federal, state and local governments to extend the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail to the base of the Victorian Alps.

North East regional news in brief Alpine Shire Council posts $10m surplus for financial year ALPINE Shire Council has ended the 2021/22 financial year with an operating surplus of $10.077 million.

This figure is $3.47m higher than the $6.607m surplus projected in the budget for 2021/22.

The higher surplus is primarily due to the receipt of Federal Assistance Grants in advance for the next financial year.

Lower than expected employee costs due to the impact of vacant positions and COVID-related staff absences contributed $603,000 to the surplus.

The total comprehensive result for 2021/22 was $32.917m and included an asset revaluation increment of $22.84m which was comprised mostly of infrastructure assets and, in particular, bridges.

Total income received was $41.137m, which was $4.073m more than the budget projection, and expenses for the year totalled $31.06m.

Council believes that indicators show it is financially sustainable and that services are being delivered within expected parameters.

Tributes flow for pilot killed in crash

TU NO E 1 V 2 st 02 2

TRIBUTES have continued to flow for Tawonga resident and adventurer Mathew Farrell, who was tragically killed when his plane crashed in dense bushland near Tallangatta on Sunday, September 18.

As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash, friend Brad Harris said Mr Farrell has been remembered with “hundreds of messages” of

PASSIONATE ADVENTURERS: The late Mathew Farrell with his partner Karen Waller. condolence from those that knew him.

Tragedy struck the 42-year-old when his singleengine Jabiru 230 crashed after leaving Mount Beauty Airport for Wollongong around midday.

According to Mount Beauty Airport Management Association committee member Mark Bland, who saw Mr Farrell’s light aircraft take off, it had been raining that day, but the weather had eased when Mr Farrell left the airport.

An alert was raised around 2pm when the plane failed to arrive at Wollongong and an extensive ground and aerial search was launched, with Victoria Police’s finding the crash shortly after 10am on Monday in dense bushland west of Lucyvale.

Mr Harris said Mr Farrell had been engaged to fiancé Karen Waller for around 18 months, but due to COVID-19 and other circumstances they had not yet married.

According to Mr Harris, the couple moved to the Kiewa Valley around 18 months ago and bought a house in Tawonga South.

He said both were known in the community as passionate paraglider pilots.

Drunk driver walks thin line A FAMILY of five travelling at 110kph along the Hume Freeway last year were lucky to walk away from a crash, after a 58-year-old Boralma drunk driver dangerously merged onto the Hume Freeway.

Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court heard last Monday the male drunk driver, who pleaded guilty to serious charges, had been seen swerving along Carraragarmungee Estate Road shortly after midday on July 4, before attempting to cross the freeway and colliding with the front left side of the family vehicle.

The accused’s vehicle was said to have come to rest in a roadside ditch, and he exited his car, crossed the freeway on foot and walked to his home near Federation Way. The victims, which included children aged four, eight and 10, did not suffer major injuries in the collision.

Police arrived at the

scene around 12:45pm, interviewing upwards of 12 witnesses before attending the accused’s home address, with ambulances later transporting the man to Northeast Health Wangaratta.

The accused returned a blood alcohol level of .215 through blood samples taken at hospital, although defence counsel Geoff Clancy said his client’s decision to continue drinking alcohol after fleeing the crash scene could have contributed to a reading four times the legal limit.

In a record of interview with police, the accused said he had fled the scene amid concerns he may have been over the legal alcohol limit, despite stating he had only had two beers.

Appearing at court flanked by the secretary of his Alcoholics Anonymous group and his psychologist, the accused was said to have lost a lot to alcohol throughout his life, with the breakdown of his marriage and his livelihood directly linked to his alcohol intake.

Mr Clancy said his client had made a number of poor

choices, and was ashamed of the way the day had panned out.

He said his client had since completed well over 20 sessions with a Gateway Health counsellor, and attended bi-weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Benalla and Wangaratta, meetings he will need to be driven to by others for the foreseeable future.

Magistrate Peter Mithen said it was essential the accused continued to address his relationship with drinking, which was said to have included a relapse in July when he allegedly blew a blood alcohol reading of .05.

He said the outcome could have been vastly different for all parties, cancelling the accused’s licence for 42 months and fining him $1200.

Charges against stalking accused adjourned OUTSTANDING phone and Google Maps records have stalled criminal proceedings against a woman alleged to have

led an elaborate stalking plot against an emergency services worker.

The 53-year-old appeared via Webex at Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court when defence counsel Jonathan Brancato successfully applied to adjourn matters while awaiting additional e-crime-related materials.

The accused is said to have commenced stalking behaviour of a Boweya man in 2019, with police expected to allege she repeatedly sent letters to the man’s home address and left cards on the windscreen of his vehicle while it was parked near his workplace.

She is alleged to have retrieved his contact details and personal information by accessing confidential medical records stored by her former employer.

She was arrested and bailed late last year.

Mr Brancato expressed concerns the matter, which was tentatively booked in to return to court late next month, would require a further adjournment due to difficulties in procuring the online data.

Magistrate Peter Mithen said if a further adjournment were required, both parties could apply via a written note rather than appearing in court.

Yarck CFA open day Yarck CFA is holding an Open Day on October 15 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Yarck Recreation Reserve.

The focus of the event is to attract new recruits and provide information to help keep the community safe in the event of a fire.

Maxwell backs stalking reform NORTH East tate MP Tania Maxwell will continue efforts to establish an offender monitoring pilot, after the scheme was overlooked by a Victorian Law Reform Commission (VLRC) investigation into the state’s stalking response.

The VLRC recently tabled 45 recommendations to government, including specific sentencing guidance for breaches of personal safety intervention orders (PSIOs) and making sure legal representation is available to applicants or protected witnesses.

Having initially presented a petition to parliament

on behalf of the family and friends of Celeste Manno, who lost her life in her Mernda home in 2020, Ms Maxwell said she hoped the government would provide a formal response to the review and its individual recommendations.

“Our Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party made 43 recommendations in its own submission and we’re pleased to see that some of them, particularly related to victim support, were picked up by the VLRC,” she said.

“But I’m disappointed that electronic monitoring was not recommended as a po-

tential response for offenders identified as high-risk recidivist stalkers, with the VLRC suggesting it was too controversial.

“It’s a proven fact - electronic monitoring improves the safety of women and children subjected to family violence, with a successful trial of these devices in Tasmania since 2015.”

Ms Maxwell said an investigation into electric monitoring last year found that when used in conjunctions with intensive support, the initiative could assist in changing perpetrator behaviour.

“At the same time, I recognise the review has made key recommendations to improve the justice system’s management of PSIOs, including early intervention to address problematic behaviour before it escalates,” she said.

“But this is a bittersweet moment for Celeste Manno’s family and a tough day for Celeste’s mother Aggie, and brother Alessandro, who attended parliament for the report’s tabling.

“I commend Aggie for her brave advocacy in pushing for this review and for stalking reform.”

BACKING REFORMS: Tania Maxwell MP wants an offender monitoring pilot established.

Scamwatch issue warning after Optus cyber-attack

CYBER-ATTACK: Optus customers’ personal information was the subject of a cyberattack last week.

SCAMWATCH has urged Mansfield’s Optus customers to be on the lookout for scams and take steps to secure their personal information following last week’s cyberattack on the national service provider.

The recent attack is said to have seen the release of Optus customers’ personal information, with customers warned their name, date of birth, phone number, email address, and potentially their driver’s licence or passport numbers could be in the hands of criminals.

As a result, bank and

financial information may also be at risk, with all customers encouraged to monitor for unusual activity and keep an eye out for contact from scammers.

To protect your personal information, Scamwatch encourages community members to:  Secure your devices and monitor for unusual activity;  Change your online account passwords and enable multi-factor authentication for banking;  Check your accounts for unusual activity such as items you haven’t purchased;

 Place limits on your accounts or ask your bank how you can secure your money; and  If you suspect fraud you can request a ban on your credit report.

If you are concerned your identity has been compromised, or you have been the victim of a scam, contact your bank immediately and call IDCARE on 1800 595 160.

You can also report scams to Scamwatch at www. scamwatch.gov.au and check cyber.gov.au for information about cyber security.

Jamieson welcomes October A FAREWELL service was conducted at Saint Peter’s Anglican Church in Jamieson last Sunday.

The service was conducted by the Venerable Catie InchesOgden, upon her retirement.

Local residents and visitors attended the service.

Following the service the attendees repaired to the Jamieson Café for refreshment and farewell.

Catie was a great supporter of Jamieson and the community.

She was guest speaker at the midday ANZAC Day service in Jamieson, holding the attendees spellbound with her stories of her family military commitment and her own military and religious service.

Her service has been outstanding.

We wish her well.

Congratulations.

MEMBERS of the Jamieson and District Historical Society and local volunteers held a spring clean at the Jamieson Museum last Wednesday.

The objective was the relocation and reorganising of materials to create more space in the museum and the office.

JAMIESON ON THE LINE with Carmel Dixon

LAST Saturday the Jamieson CFA was called out to a fire on Steiner’s Road in the Howqua hills, the reporting of smoke by a driver passing the area alerted the brigade.

The junction of Howqua River Road, Mitchells Track and Steiner Road was the directive.

Two vehicles and four members attended the scene.

Fortunately the fire was brought under control by the firefighters, albeit being located in the extremely challenging terrain.

THE Jamieson Community group meeting is held on the first Tuesday in the month at 7:00pm.

This month is to address many of the Spring and Summer events and relate the previous happenings in town.

A NEW Jamieson community initiative will be presented at a public meeting on Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30 pm in the Jamieson Memorial Hall.

The proposal is for the community and homeowners to ‘have your say’ on the proposed development of

the Old Police Paddock.

The topic is Jamieson Community Hub ‘building a more resilient town’.

This is a community initiative in consultation with the Mansfield Shire, VICPOL, CFA, SES, Mansfield Hospital, Jamieson Historical Society.

This is a date to record.

The meeting has been called as the community involvement is paramount, to this vital development.

All welcome no bookings required.

NEXT Sunday, October 9, Fr George Feliciouz will celebrate Mass at St John the Apostle Church at 11:00am.

There was a cancellation of service recently as Father was called away.

All welcome.

LAST Friday, September 30 the Melbourne Football Club Best and Fairest Awards were presented in Melbourne.

Local Jamieson resident, the ‘late’ Ian Ridley, champion Melbourne player and Club President, was revered with the presentation of the Ian Ridley Memorial Trophy ‘The Club Ambassador Award’.

This year’s recipient was current player Ben Brown, for his outstanding ambassadorial and playing capacities.

The Ridley family reside in Jamieson taking an active part in community affairs.

BON APETITE: Freddy Leong says cook up the local Kevington Salmon (Carp).

Kevington Salmon (Carp) pattie recipe

By FREDDIE LEONG Local resident Freddie Leong reckons we have a ready, locally sourced cooking fish in Carp and best of all you can catch it free.

Here’s his recipe for them.

1) Descale, remove head and entrails from fish.

2) Cut out two fillets and remove the skins from the fillets.

3) Mince the fillets either by a mincing machine (pass through several times) or using a chopper to mince it, making sure that small bones in the fillets are chopped up.

4) Chop up some herbs like parsley, spring onions, chives, an onion (red or brown) and mix it into the mince fish meat.

5) If you like it spicy, mix in: chop up a couple of chillies, mint leaves and a spoonful of curry powder.

6) Put in salt (to taste) a couple of chicken stocks, a table spoonful of corn flour, tea spoonful of fish sauce, table spoonful of sesame seeds and an egg, mix it all in.

7) Use a large Spoon to spoon the mixture individually into a hot non-stick fry pan with oil to fry the mixture, flatten the individual patties, in order to cook the inside.

8) For dipping sauce, you can use soya sauce with lemon juice, tomato sauce or Siratcha chilli sauce.

Bon Apetite.

CUC Ovens Murray officially opens in Mansfield COUNTRY Universities Centre (CUC) Ovens Murray’s Mansfield was officially opened by the Federal Member of Indi, Dr Helen Haines MP last week.

The CUC Ovens Murray Mansfield site is located within MACE and has been designed with student requirements at the forefront.

zzz OPEN DOOR: The official opening with Helen Haines MP, MACE Board Chair Janene Ridley, CEO Kylie Richards, and CUC-OM Chair, John Joyce.

18 different Australian universities and higher education providers in a multitude of courses including health, psychology, science and education.

Notably, 53 per cent of CUC Ovens Murray students are first in their family to undertake higher education studies.

Director of Centre Operations at Country

Universities Centre, Ashlee Jones said, “The opening of a centre is an exciting time for communities and for CUC Ovens Murray is culmination of several years of dedication.

“We are grateful for the Federal Government’s ongoing commitment through the Regional University Centres Program to tertiary education in regions.

“In conjunction with the support from the Commonwealth Government and MACE, the CUC Ovens Murray site in Mansfield provides an essential service to improve the futures of communities within the Mansfield district.”

The CUC concept is to provide students with better and equitable access to quality higher education so that they may remain in the local area, connected with the community, and contributing to a prosperous future for our region.

“We hope that a facility such as CUC encourages people to obtain university qualifications and stay in the region,” said CUC-OM Chair, Mr John Joyce.

“This will provide local businesses, schools, and health facilities with the qualified staff they so desperately need.”

&RQJUDWXODWLRQV 0DQVILHOG &RXQWU\ 8QLYHUVLWLHV &HQWUH The network of Country Universities Centres in Indi will open up a world of education right on our doorstep.

Country Universities Centre - the students ALEX THOMPSON ALEX Thompson is studying a Bachelor of Science (Environmental) at Charles Sturt University (CSU) and is a second-year student.

Alex began his studies in Canberra at the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) where he undertook a Certificate IV in Environmental Monitoring and Technology.

While studying at CIT, Alex discovered his passion for working outdoors and

monitoring national parks and chose to pursue a career as a Park Ranger.

Undertaking a degree is a requirement for the job, so he continued on with higher education, and enrolled in the bachelor’s degree at the CSU Albury campus and then moved to Mansfield.

As Alex lives over two hours away from campus, he does much of his home study at the CUC. “CUC is important to me because it gives me a comfortable place to focus

on my studies without outside distractions,” said Alex.

“It is quiet, accommodating and well situated in the main street of Mansfield.”

Once Alex completes his bachelor’s degree and becomes a Park Ranger, he is interested in working in and experiencing diverse environments, including the local Victorian High Country, for its natural beauty and the vast and remote desert areas of Outback Australia.

being part of a vibrant and active arts community,” said Kathryn.

Kathryn chose Art in Public Spaces because of the people she has met through the course and because she creates large pieces of art, rather than art gallery size works.

Kathryn hopes that by working her way through the degree she will be involved in some exciting projects and learn ways to go forward in a creative, community-engaged arts career once the course is completed.

Kathryn was happy to learn about the CUC in Mansfield.

“Whilst we have good internet at home, and great online support with RMIT, I think it’s valuable to be able to meet other local higher education students, so we know we are not alone, so we can cheer each other on, and even so we can work in the same space sometimes for some accountability,” she said.

“And I really appreciate having professionals like Jane and Courtney to offer support if needed.”

MANSFIELD COURIER - Wednesday, October 5, 2022 - Page 25

The nature of the IB diploma

By LEITH PIERCE, IB Coordinator, Mansfield Steiner School NEARLY three years ago, in early 2020, Mansfield Steiner School embarked on its inaugural journey into the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Program) with our first group of Year 11s.

It was a new pre-tertiary offering for the Mansfield community and one that we are proud to continue strengthening.

This two-year program spanning Years 11 and 12 prepares students to enter the world beyond school with eyes wide open and a great deal of discernment.

One of the foundations of the IB is its focus on ‘learn(ing) how to learn’, prioritising how to approach challenging questions with critical thinking strategies across a holistic range of disciplines.

The curriculum intentionally fosters a zooming in and out from local to global contexts, explicitly directing students to address issues important to them and their communities in the most direct and expansive senses.

The diploma program’s very prominent focus on research skills, where students routinely construct their own questions for different internal and external assessments, is excellent preparation for academic success at university and in other tertiary studies.

Students often later share that they became a ‘go-to’ person amongst their firstyear uni peers on how to reference or how to structure an essay.

IBDP students soon come to realise the high level of independence, initiative and

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: 2022 IB students in Melbourne on an excursion, (from left) Charli Nye, Holly Sanders, Will Hotton, teacher Leith Pierce, Abby Wettenhall and in front Dustin Ersvaer-Gotje. problem-solving abilities they have developed.

The Extended Essay (EE) is the most significant undertaking in research and writing during the program, a 4000 word research essay on a topic of their choice that they are closely mentored through.

The IBDP’s ‘Core’ components, distinct from VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) requirements, are fundamental to this growth

in students’ thinking and organisational skills as well as their awareness of self, others and the world around them.

The EE is one of these components, the others are Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).

Theory of Knowledge is concerned with ‘how we know what we know’.

Students are given dedicated time to consider how

we come to understandings in science, mathematics or the arts, where different types of knowledge converge and how others might be distinct.

Students are allowed the freedom to explore any area of interest relevant to the overarching questions posed and precious time is provided to consider knowledge and beliefs from a range of perspectives across different professions, cultures or eras.

CAS has students engage with ongoing and new endeavours outside class curricular.

The framework supports students to progress with their artistic or sporting loves, tracing triumphs and struggles along the way.

Individually and in groups students choose issues they are passionate about and can pursue myriad ways of making meaningful contri-

GREAT TO FINALLY MEET: (From left) Ed Hawke, Dawn Carey, Margie Ames, Bianca Hurle, Paul ‘Fluff ’ Sinclair, Nora Fernandes, Maree Chilton, Toni Appleby, Violet Platt, Rafaela Lopez, Elizabeth Jenkins, April Betheras, Heike Fleischmann, Helen Sieker, Rosehaven Volunteer and (front row, from left) Kevin Clementes, Renee Prosser and Rosehaven guest Joyce.

INSET: TIME TO CONNECT: A luncheon of soup and homemade rolls was enjoyed by all.

Rosehaven welcomes Palliative Care Victoria team ROSEHAVEN and Palliative Care Victoria have been trying to get together since Rosehaven opened in March 2021.

Three dates have had to be cancelled over the past one a half years due to COVID restrictions, lockdowns and the like, however on Wednesday September 28 the teams finally came together.

Eight members from Palliative Care Victoria made an early morning start and travelled by bus to Rosehaven, joining a team of volunteers and board members at Rosehaven for a luncheon.

Elizabeth Jenkins, Hume Region Palliative Care Consortium Manager, made the journey to Rosehaven to join the luncheon, as did two of the team from Benalla Palliative Care; Kevin Clemente, Clinical Nurse Consultant, and April Betheras, Loss and Grief Coordinator.

The group enjoyed a tour of the house, gardens and shed, learning about all the services that Rosehaven has to offer.

Luncheon gave everyone the opportunity to get to know each other whilst having a round table discussion about palliative

care services and the importance of community supporting people in palliative care for positive end-of-life outcomes.

Professor Violet Platt, Palliative Care Victoria CEO said, “Rosehaven is a wonderful example of a compassionate community at its very best.

“The thoughtfulness and support that is provided for each individual based on their wishes and desires is truly person-centred.

“Rosehaven provides a community hub for palliative care enabling everyone to live their

best life, whether they are facing a life limiting illness or navigating grief and bereavement having lost a loved one.”

Rosehaven Manager Bianca Hurle said that Rosehaven aims to provide a home-like environment for guests and their families.

“Families are welcome to stay in the Rosehaven house with their person,” she said.

“We know that 70 per cent of people want to die at home and only 14 per cent of people actually do.”

Rosehaven’s location was chosen specifically, so as to be located near the hospital,

close to the local GP clinics, walking distance from the main street and other accommodation options.

“We are a non-clinical facility, where all your clinical care is taken care of by your local GP, the district nursing team, and your family,” Bianca said.

“Rosehaven provides that home where people can live till that very last breath.

“Rosehaven’s trained palliative care volunteers support guests and their families during their stay.”

Heike Fleischmann Volunteer Engagement and Capacity Building Manager

said, “On behalf of the PCV team, I wish to thank Bianca, Toni and all your volunteers for a wonderful experience yesterday.

“It’s been inspirational.

“The hospice is indeed an excellent model and it seems entirely replicable - a sustainable community-owned model of end-of-life care.

“We were impressed at how the hospice meets the needs of community individuals, through equipment loans, involving residents of all ages in community gardening, beekeeping, psychosocial care and respite programs.”

Join in the last of Seniors Week activities Dance the night away at the golf club IT is not too late to join in the remaining events to celebrate Seniors Festival which has been developed thanks to a grant from the Victorian Seniors Festival and funds held over from last year’s event that was cancelled due to COVID restrictions.

A highlight of the festival will be the Seniors Ball at the Mansfield Golf Club on Thursday, October 6.

This will include a two-course meal, live music, and dancing for just $10 per person.

Bookings can still be made for this first time seniors event by phoning the Mansfield golf Club on 57751218.

And still to come on Friday are two events, the Mansfield Bushwalkers with Monnie Richardson.

Walk starts at the Visitor Information Centre at 10am and the event is limited to 10 people.

To book call Monnie on 0480 226 256.

The second Friday event is

Seniors Pilates with Cherie Worthington which will take place at Eisner’s Lane.

Again numbers are limited to 10 per session and the first is at 11.15am - the event is free but bookings must be made to Cherie on 0438 937 277.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said continuing to provide a stimulating program of events with opportunities for social interaction for our senior population ensures they remain active and engaged.

“Our seniors are vibrant, active and a huge part of the fabric of Mansfield,” he said.

“Council is happy to be able to offer this line up of events which are affordable, accessible and most of all, a lot of fun.”

Funding of $6700 has enabled Council’s Community Health and Wellbeing and Tourism and Events teams to partner in presenting a range of activities between October 3-7 to celebrate Seniors Festival 2022.

DANCING ON: The Mansfield Golf Club is the venue for the Seniors Festival dinner and dance to be held tomorrow night - be quick to book for the last few seats.

What’s On Regular Events

Buy nothing new in October - take the challenge OCTOBER iis ‘B ‘Buy N Nothing hi N New Month’ at Vinnies Shops.

Vinnies Victoria has launched a challenge to do just that - to buy nothing new for home, wardrobe and looking forward into the biggest gift-buying season of the year, Christmas.

The St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria’s (Vinnies) dedicated retail division, Vinnies Shops, is encouraging Victorians to trial a sustainable way to bring new items into their homes by committing to buying pre-loved treasures.

For just 31 days during Vinnies’ Buy Nothing New Month (VBNN) in October, Vinnies is inviting the public to take the #VBNN pledge.

A creative challenge, which promises unique finds, local community engagement and sustainable alternatives to large retail centres.

“Vinnies’ Buy Nothing New Month is designed as an annual circuitbreaker in our buying habits; a re-

WELCOME IN OCTOBER: Mansfield Vinnies Shop manager, Greg McDermott welcomes all visitors to the local shop and encourages everyone to think about Christmas shopping now.

BROWSING: Take time to browse through the Mansfield Vinnies Shop where you can find a great range of gifts, books, household items and clothing.

minder i d that h with i a little extra time and care, buying pre-loved items can bring immeasurable joy to our lives and provide a meaningful connection to the circular economy too,” said Vinnies Victoria Executive General Manager Commercial Services, Jeff Antcliff.

According to Charitable Recycling Australia (CRA), organisations like Vinnies Shops play an integral role in reducing the impact of surplus goods on the environment.

Importantly, every dollar spent with Vinnies Shops helps to support people in need of a hand up, all year round.

“We are expecting significant traction with Vinnies’ Buy Nothing New Pledge this year,” said Mr Antcliff.

“With inflationary pressures pushing up the cost of living, on every front, people are desperately seeking ways to stretch their budgets - and concurrently, to be proud of how they are contributing to ad-

dressing urgent macro environmental issues like escalating landfill.”

Vinnies is encouraging shoppers to visit their local shop (Mansfield - Baldry Street, just off High Street) and commit to the pledge through the purchase of reused goods.

“With Christmas just around the corner, we are already being lured into a culture of ‘buy, buy, buy’ - and our mission as part of Buy Nothing New Month with Vinnies, is to inspire people to make considered choices about what they bring into their homes and importantly, how they make it shine,” stylist of JAK Creative and Events, Kerryn Howell, said.

Vinnies Buy Nothing New Month is a challenge and an adventure, and everyone is encouraged to get involved, as socially and environmentally conscious members of our community.

Mansfield Vinnies shop is open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and on Saturdays 10am to 4pm.

 CWA Monthly meetings: 4th Wednesday Evening or Sunday afternoon (alternating each month: March -Wed).  CWA Craft Days: Wednesday’s 10am and last Thursday evening of the month at 6pm.  CWA Op shop open: most days from 10am to 2pm.  JUSTICE of the Peace Services - Every Thursday, Mansfield Police Station. 10am to 1pm for witnessing and signing of documents.  Lima South Old Time Dance: At Lima South Hall the second Sunday of each month between 1pm and 5pm. Entry $10.

RURAL NEWS

Election promise for Hall of Fame

LOCAL communities will have their history immortalised in a High Country Hall of Fame under a Liberal and Nationals Government.

Leader of the Nationals, Peter Walsh, and Shadow Minster for Tourism, Cindy McLeish, announced $750,000 in funding to determine the best location and design for a future High Country Hall of Fame last week.

They said the Hall of Fame will be established in consultation with High Country communities and involves two steps.

The first is an expressions of interest phase, where interested communities can

put forward a bid; and the second a shortlist phase, where the best three bids would receive financial assistance to prepare detailed business cases.

“The High Country Hall of Fame will connect the history of the area and pay tribute to the people and industries that have shaped the region’s history,” Mr Walsh said.

“This announcement is the result of a sustained effort of a group of people who are passionate about preserving the history of the High Country, and this is a crucial first step to making their plans a reality.”

Local MP Cindy McLeish

said the business case will shape what the High Country Hall of Fame becomes.

“A Hall of Fame has been a passion project for the Mountain Cattlemen’s Association of Victoria and it is fantastic to be able to announce this business case that will get the ball rolling,” Ms McLeish said.

“It will be another attraction and asset to one of Victoria’s iconic tourism regions.

“This will be a place our community can be proud of and it will add to the outstanding tourism attractions that already draw more than one million people to the High Country every year.”

THE RETURN: Crowds returned after a three year gap.

IT’S been three years since the Mountain Cattlemen’s Association of Victoria (MCAV) have held their annual Get Together, and what a return the event has made.

More than 3000 people gathered at Merrijig over the weekend, the muddy ground apparently no deterrent.

Part of the celebration was a focus on the 40th anniversary of the Man From Snowy River movie, with actor Tom Burlinson spending the weekend hanging out with fans, signing autographs and taking a trip down memory lane.

Tom was joined by number of the original crack riders who also participated in the film, including local stunt man Gerald Egan, movie producer Geoff Burrowes and Master Horsemen Charlie Lovick.

In officially opening the event, president of the MCAV, Bruce McCormack also a Merrijig local who was in the Snowy River movies - called on those present to support practical management of the High Country at the coming State Election.

“Support better High Country land management by voting for those candidates who will do something

to improve the situation we now find ourselves in,” he said.

“Over the years the governments have announced ever increasing areas of National Parks, but there was no on-going funding to manage those parks.

“The governments gave in to the Greens and reduced burning programs and now we find ourselves with a High Country choked with feral weeds, feral deer and native scrub that needs burning.

“This situation and build up - and what a build up there will be after this winter and spring - means that when the next bushfire comes, and come it will, it will burn hotter, brighter and out of control.”

Bruce asked those gathered to think about the situation being faced by the High Country, describing a landscape choked with blackberries where once there was open parkland.

“What am I am describing is a total failure of public land management - management is obviously failing when the land we love is suffering.”

Bruce was joined for the official opening by Leader of the National Party Peter

Walsh, along with National Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath, Liberal Member for Eildon Cindy McLeish and National Member for Gippsland East Tim Bull.

In the arena there was a host of new events for the horse riders as the cattlemen made a focus for 2022 on encouraging younger riders.

There were junior packhorse races, gymkhana novelties, obstacle courses, walking races, cattle work and much more.

The overall winner of the Driza-Bone Junior Challenge was Billy Phegan, with recently married couple Chloe Trompf and Dave Mitchell taking out the Ladies and the Open.

“It was a great weekend for the whole family,” Mr McCormack said.

“The weather conditions were against us in the leadup with mud axle-deep and rain forecast, but in the end the sun came out and it was a fantastic weekend.

“We are already looking forward to making our 2023 Get Together bigger and better.”

The next MCAV Get Together will be held in Gippsland.

Pond skim championships make a SPLASH AHOY THERE: Alrzburg Resort’s Prawn Pirates made a ‘splash’ when hitting the pond skim water giving them special honors in the National Pond Skim event held on Buller at the weekend.

PHOTOS: Abbey Jordan

DOCTOR, DOCTOR: Was anyone on hand to rescue tot he doctor? this competitor in the annual pond skim competition was assured life savers were on hand.

Mt BULLER’S snow season wrapped up on Sunday with hundreds of skiers and snowboarders out enjoying the start of daylight savings and spring vibes on the slopes for the closing weekend.

Sunday also marked the long-awaited National Pond Skim Championships with a strong line up of entries after two years hiatus.

An esteemed panel of judges included resort Ambassadors and Olympians Anton Grimus and Jacqui Cooper.

Points were awarded for a combination of ‘bigness’, costume, choreography, and skimming prowess. A lively crowd gathered pondside for the afternoon of color and crashes and many felt the refreshing splash of the pond as skimmers came unstuck and created waves.

Energy was high in the Pirate Life beer garden where a bubble artist and fire twirler added to the closing carnival atmosphere and celebrations of the final weekend on the slopes.

Winners included local skier Andre Bennett for the adult skim, HMAS Pondy McPond Skim for the teams, junior winners were Genevieve O’Callaghan and Maya Onslow as Mario Bros with the Prawn Pirates from

Alzberg resort (complete with a giant pirate ship) taking out special honors for costume.

Federation Internationale de Pond Skim President David Clark was thrilled to have the competition back at Mt Buller, “This is what spring is all about.

“Colour, costumes, skimming, and of course elite international sport right to the closing days of the season.

“These are the world’s best skimmers showing the depth of skill and style that is lurking in the pond here on Bourke Street.

“Other resorts may skim, but we are very proud to host the National Championships and the best skimmers in our solar system here on Buller,” Clark said.

“The judges had a challenging time of it with such a strong line up of talent in all categories.

“Bluey and Bingo (Indie and Zahlie Carson) were superb in the under 18s.

“Skimmers definitely ‘understood the assignment’ creating timely themes for their costumes with Scotty from Marketing making an appearance in Aloha shirts and ukuleles, the winning Top Gun aircraft carrier team and

the Queen being chased across the pond by the Grim Reaper.

“We thought that might have been a little too soon for that one...” he added.

Mt Buller wrapped up the final day of the season with 11 lifts still rolling including Summit, Wombat, Bull Run and Skyline, a good cover of soft groomed snow and four terrain parks filled with features. Snow reporter Rhylla Morgan said, “It felt amazing to be skiing wide turns on the summit this morning with such a good cover, and still doing laps top to bottom on Little Buller Spur.

“The terrain parks have certainly been the hero this season and to have four parks open, complete with a mini halfpipe for the 121st day of the season as we close is brilliant.”

The resort is already shifting gears and preparing for ‘green’ season with refurbished mountain bike trails and some new walking tracks on the menu for spring and summer visitors.

Summer events are in the calendar with the popular Christmas Festival already in the diary for November 26 and the progressive opening of the bike trails from the end of October.

Rev those engines for the Mansfield Motorcycle Club

By EMMA OLIVER THE Mansfield Motorcycle Club is gearing up for its annual come-and-try day at their Merrijig-based track, with Sunday, October 16 scheduled for the event, weather dependent.

“There will be a coffee van on-site and a barbecue lunch available, and it’s always a great day” said Ben Adams, president of the Mansfield Motorcycle Club.

“However what makes it particularly worthwhile is that all participants are offered a license on the day.

“Riders will need to have club membership - which costs around $100 a year for a family - but the license is free.

“The license covers the rider for the year and is a Motorcycle Victoria (MV) initiative, saving parents and guardians the usual $150 fee.

“It means that every time you ride at a MV event you’re covered, and this offer only happens on the one day of the year at our come-and-try day.”

The come-and-try day is not only open to local residents, organisers encourage

anybody who wants to give it a go, to come along and ride.

“Whittlesea, Shepparton, Seymour, we’ve had visitors come up from Melbourne for the event,” said Ben. “It brings people into the community who are here primarily because we are not a race club and our main focus is on giving kids that environment to explore.”

Run solely by volunteers, the MMC aims to provide a safe and pressure-free experience where children can ride a dirt bike at their own pace and not feel the pressure of having to race or compete.

This makes it one of a few club of its kind in the state - a junior development, non-race club aimed at the younger rider, with an emphasis on encouraging female riders.

However the current membership base ranges in age from 5 to 16 years old.

A not-for-profit, the club has been going since the early nineties, driven by a volunteer base who have invested their own time, energy and funds into developing the track and building up the

ENVIRONMENT TO EXPLORE: MMC is one of only a few clubs of its kind in the state - a junior development, non-race club aimed at the younger rider. club itself.

“Our volunteers are all dirt bike enthusiasts and all the committee members are qualified Motorcycle Australia coaches,” said .

“There are accredited first aid providers on-site, and the club is affiliated with Motorcycle Australia. holding regular coaching sessions to ensure that children are taught the correct and safe ways of riding.”

Monthly ride days are held on a Sunday morning at Bally Patrick Park in Merrijig, behind the rodeo grounds on Adele McCormack’s property.

“For more information on ride dates please visit the Mansfield Motorcycle Clubs Facebook page which is our primary means of communication,” said Ben. “All you have to do is pay a ride fee - which is $35.

The monthly event starts at 8am with scrutineering and checking of all the bikes.

There is a rider briefing, and then the volunteers walk the track doing a safety check.

Hazard and hazard perception are discussed, and then the kids ride through to an early bbq lunch.

After lunch, there’s an opportunity to ride more, with the day finishing up mid-af-

ternoon around 2pm.

“Our membership base has dropped a little over the last couple of years as a result of COVID lockdowns, and we’re keen to build it back up again, first with our come-and-try day and also with our monthly ride days,” said Ben. “We offer something that nowhere else does and we don’t want lose this unique Victorian club.”

The Mansfield Motorcycle Club has also secured a state government grant to help boost local participation on a grassroots level, as well as address gaps in motorsport infrastructure and equipment.

Ben Adams said that the funds will be used to upgrade the track as well as to purchase more suitable machinery to maintain it, along with encouraging more female participation in the sport.

With members and volunteers donating their own time and resources over the last three decades, Ben Adams said that the $20,000 funding is very well received at this time, allowing the club to develop and improve existing infrastructure.

Local girls hit the world cycling scene

By MMBCC NEWS IT could be something to do with what’s in the water in Mansfield.

But it’s more likely to do with the role the Mansfield Mt Buller Cycling Club (MMBCC) has played in seeing three of their members take part in UCI World Championship events this year alone.

Ruby Dobson, Elise Empey and Talia Appleton all wore the green and gold for Australia across different disciplines.

Ruby, cross-country, Elise, downhill and Talia on the road.

For club president Dave Empey it’s a testament to the support of the club in assisting riders achieve their goals.

“We have some very experienced riders and coaches in the club so there is a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist younger riders.

“I know the older guys in the morning road group love seeing three teenage girls tear the bunch to bits as a group.

“The club also supports the girls financially and this support is significant.”

All three were drawn to the club in their primary school days from racing dirt crits to progressing through the ranks in the XC, road and gravity club races in their teens.

“The club also runs the tour of Mansfield and a VDHS Downhill event each year, so the girls have been exposed to high level com-

PROUD CLUB: Members of the Mansfield Mt Buller Cycling Club are very proud of their three junior girls who competed for Australia at the UCI World Championship in France with some great results.

PHOTO: MMBCC petition even before they were able to race it.

“They are good mates, they have all been at school together since primary school and all celebrate each other’s success’,” Empey said.

Elise won her second junior downhill crown earlier this year.

And at her very first world championships in Les Gets, France she finished sixth.

2022 was a good one domestically for Dobson who won the Junior women XCO, XCC and cyclo-cross titles and finished sixth at the

road nationals.

Her world championship campaign saw her part of the Australian XC team relay which finished 14th.

Ruby Dobson, competing in the team relay at UCI MTB World Championships would back up a day later for the XCO where she’d place 50th.

For Appleton while there was no national crown there were still impressive results on the road.

And only recently the opportunity to race in front of her home crowd at a world championships where she

would be the highest placed Australian junior.

Empey cannot emphasise enough how important it is for their members to be supported and have the opportunity to try whatever is on two wheels.

The 126-member club has an even split of male and female and are driven to increase participation at any level.

“Having three strong junior females in the club has certainly shown that anything is possible from Mansfield.”

On behalf of the whole club we’d like to say we’re

really proud of the girls and the supportive efforts of both Team Empey and Team Dobson.

Congratulations to one and all.

Daylight Savings started last weekend, all the permits are in place, the training has been done and the Summer Road Race Series starts tomorrow, Thursday, October 6.

The first race will be a handicap on course 5 - from the Botanic Park out along Whitfield Road, turning around at Sawpit Gully Road, back towards town and fin-

ishing at the Showgrounds.

The club is no longer using the Team App used last summer.

All entries will now be done through Entry Boss.

It’s the system used by most Victorian clubs and should make life much easier for you to enter; and for our Handicapper, Dave Moore.

Each week entries open on Monday morning and close at 8pm on Wednesday.

DIRT CRITS: The first night of Dirt Crits will be next Tuesday, October 11.

Mansfield bowlers retain annual shield

By LYN FOOTS

LAST Thursday saw the start of the Mansfield Bowls Club’s ladies intra-club program with the running of the championship pairs.

With limited entries the first round saw Lyn Foots and Enid Smith taking the win against Elaine Peterson and Yvonne Robinson 17/14 in a very close game.

The second game saw Jenny Walsh and Lyn Holland defeating Glenda Revell and Gwen Gray on the last end 15/14 - another very tight match.

The final in the afternoon saw Jenny Walsh and Lyn Holland playing consistent bowls to take the win 18/12.

There was no social bowls this week due to rain and private functions at the club.

Saturday saw both Mansfield teams (A2 and A4) having practice matches ready for the upcoming season.

The A2 team travelled to Moira-Benalla for the annual grudge match with Mansfield retaining the perpetual shield 96/37; a great first up to prepare for the coming season.

The second team, which

was promoted to the A4 division after a great year last season in the B1 section, travelled to Swanpool to check out their competition.

Swanpool, on the day, were a little too strong on their home green winning 89/57.

Saturday Pennant begins on the October 15 with the Midweek Pennant beginning on October 18, as does Home Pennant at the Mansfield greens.

The annual Mansfield October tournament is to be held on October 20, so get your names in as spots are filling fast.

Last Sunday saw the finals of the intra-club Men’s 21up with the morning winners (round 1) being George Peterson over Steve Lewis 21/6 and Mark Bettany took the win over Doug Morley also 21/6.

The afternoon’s final (round 2) between Peterson and Bettany was a thrilling game with both players playing 37 tight ends; Peterson taking the win 21/18.

Members are reminded to check the handbooks for upcoming events and all entry sheets are up on their appropriate notice boards.

SHIELD RETAINED: At Saturday’s annual bowls match against Moira Benalla, Mansfield retained the perpetual trophy. The trophy was presented by Moira president, Rob Jones to Mansfield’s president, Ray Robinson.

U14 girls blue put in great effort in first tournament

U14 GIRLS BLUE: Coach Glenn Thornton, Daina Harrop, Mila Walsh, Brydie Thornton, Lilly Adams, Lara Klingsporn, Halli Herridge, Tara Craddock, and Carli Desmond.

FIRST tournament of the rep season was hosted by Echuca over Grand Final weekend.

The girls under 14 Eagles blue team had not yet played as a team, so it took time to put their training and team chemistry into action.

On Friday they played Echuca 2.

Although off to a strong start, Echuca’s height and consistency saw the girls struggle in their defence across the full game.

There were bright patches of play, however, with the team able to score quickly for various moments in the game.

Saturday saw the girls desperate for their first win which came in the morning against Echuca 3.

The girls brought everything they had learnt

at training and put it into play.

Confidence and team work grew, fast breaks and offensive rebounds provided scoring opportunities and a strong full court press in defence gave our opponents few chances to score.

Our game against Maryborough proved a strong contest with willing team defence, strong rebounding and fast breaks keeping the team in the game but ultimately too many turnovers and fouls resulted in a small loss to the ultimate runners up.

The last game was on Sunday against Wangaratta.

We had the potential to win this game but unfortunately were unable to come away with a win.

Although only having

one win it was a great first tournament from the girls.

A lot was learnt especially from our new players who have never experienced the intensity of rep basketball before.

Walsh’s Wiring is the sponsor of the under 14 blue team for the season which has enabled the club to provide new uniforms for the team.

A massive thanks to Walshy.

A big thanks to coach Glenn Thornton and all parents, grandparents and siblings for your support throughout the tournament.

Next tournament for the girls is Southern Peninsula on November 11 and 12.

This will be the first time Mansfield Eagles have entered this tournament.

Good Luck to all teams.

U12 Girls Gold by name and nature WHAT an incredible weekend at the Echuca Junior Representative Basketball Tournament for the Under 12 Girls Gold Team - Sophie Snell, Edie Gardner, Arrie Turner, Macey Thornton, Lara Harrop, Matilda Mills, Georgia Crowe and Alice Rademaker, Coach Adam Snell and Assistant Coach Glenn Thornton.

Leading up to Echuca, the team had been training together weekly and playing as a team in the local domestic competition, but this was their first time playing together as a team at a tournament.

There was lots of excitement leading into their first game where they came up against Myrtleford Saints.

Despite many goals not going in at the beginning, with the encouragement and reassurance from Adam and Glenn, the girls persevered, continued playing as a team, and went on to win convincingly 34 to 7.

The early morning game for Round Two against Shepparton Gators saw the girls come out firing from the jump ball and continue with this level of energy until the end of the game.

With great support for each other, team goals, enormous pressure at the ball and

Round Three in the afternoon against Wodonga Wolves completed the games

for their Pool A draw.

Despite being their toughest opponent yet, the girls continued to play as a team, executed any instructions given to them from Adam and Glenn, and were lifted

throughout the game by the constant cheering from their team mates on the bench and families on the sidelines.

They won the game 19 to 8.

Their semi-final game against

Yarrawonga-Mulwala started with lots of pressure from the beginning.

By sticking to their game plan and drawing on their skills and strengths, the girls went on to win 18 to 5, earning them a spot in the grand final against Rochester Tigers.

The big centre court game with lots of stadium atmosphere didn’t faze the girls as they continued to take the incredible experience all in their stride.

With their unbelievable teamwork and great respect for Adam, well timed subs allowed for fresh legs throughout the game so the girls could continue with their intense centre court pressure, pressure at the ball and intercepts.

The girls stretched their lead in the final minutes, winning an intense grand final game 18-13, making them Under 12 Girls Division 2 winners and undefeated for the tournament.

Such an incredible weekend had, lots of fun shared, unbelievable improvement, great sportsmanship and all girls proudly representing their club.

Exciting to watch these girls continue to grow and develop together as a team led by Adam and supported by Glenn.

Skinner scores ISSF World Championships quota MANSFIELD Olympian Catherine Skinner has claimed Australia’s first Paris 2024 quota for shooting at the ISSF World Championships in Osijek, Croatia early last week.

Skinner was taking part in the Trap Women event where she scored 118/125 in qualification, shooting a further three targets in a shoot off to place 4th, qualifying for the semi-finals.

In the Semi-Final, Skinner scored 21/25 targets qualifying for the Medal Match, as well as securing Australia’s first quota in the Trap Women event for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Skinner would go on to score 10/15 targets in the Medal Match placing 4th.

The ISSF World Championships in Osijek, Croatia will host approximately 650 athletes from more than 75 countries from five continents taking part in individual, team, and mixed team events.

Sixteen quota places in total for Paris 2024 are allocated in each individual event, with four in Trap Men, four in Trap Women, four in Skeet Men, and four in Skeet Women.

The World Championships is the first chance for athletes from Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania to win quotas for their countries, with Skinner taking the opportunity to secure a place for Australia’s Trap Women at the Games in 2024.

TEAMS UP: Australia’s Trap Team Women Trap closed out their ISSF World Championships campaign with a bronze medal.

This isn’t the first quota place Skinner has won on the open market.

“This (World Championships) has been a really good omen for me,” she said.

And on Friday Australia’s Trap Team Women of Catherine Skinner, Laetisha Scanlan, and the returning Penny Smith closed out their ISSF World Championships campaign with a bronze medal.

The trio scored 202/225 in qualification placing 4th, qualifying for the bronze medal match where they would face the People’s Republic of China.

In the final, Australia’s Trap Team women reached

six points to the People’s Republic of China’s four to claim the bronze medal for Australia.

Earlier in the week, Penny Smith had withdrawn from the individual Trap Women qualification due to a medical issue and did her best to recover in time for the Team event, with Smith adding, “It’s been a bit of a rough week for me but I was pretty determined to get out here with Teash and Catherine today and give it our best shot and that we did so I’m really proud of them.”

Talking about qualification, Skinner added “I think we started off pretty strong

On the final, Scanlan added “I think everyone held their own and I guess we hit the targets when they needed to be hit, so I’m really happy that we came away with the bronze medal today.”

The World Championships campaign is now over for the Australian Trap Team, and the athletes are looking forward to returning to Australia. Skinner mentioned missing her own bed, with Smith wanting “a bit of a break and return to normality”, and Scanlan saying

“I think just having no bugs at home.”

Australia’s involvement in the ISSF World Championships has not come to an end yet, with Australian Olympic Skeet Shooter Aislin Jones on her way to Osijek, Croatia to compete in the Women’s Skeet event that begins on Friday.

“I won the quota for the Rio Olympics in the 2014 World Championships.”

On Skinner securing a Quota for Australia, Shooting Australia CEO Adam Sachs said, “I’m thrilled that our AUS Team has officially crossed the start line for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

“Congratulations to Catherine for securing the first of what we hope will be many shooting quotas to the games.

“After qualifying strongly, she showed real grit to make the medal match and demonstrated once again that she is a world-class athlete.”

Up next for Skinner is the Trap Mixed Teams where she teams up with Thomas Grice.

On the Trap Mixed Teams, Skinner said, “I’ll just try to approach it the same way, I think the pattern is working pretty well and we’ll just try to hit as many targets as we can.”

Bats and balls ready for season CRICKET STARTS OCTOBER 15 DELATITE Cricket Club is all set to go for the beginning of the cricket season which commences on October 15.

Delatite club president, Peter Scales said at present the Lords Ground is not suitable to be played on, and in fact training cannot be held there due to the wet conditions.

“We also looked at College Park but it also is not quite suitable so we have drawn back to the recreation reserve for training,” Scales said.

“If the Lords Ground cannot be played on by October 15 then Delatite will have to forfeit a home game and transfer the match to one of the Wangaratta grounds.

“Grounds keeper Ken Cousins has been working on the Lords cricket pitch but unfortunately it will not be ready in time for the start of the season,” Scales said.

“Lords gets a lot of traffic

but the least amount of attention.

“It seems a shame that Lords cannot be better, the other grounds get a lot of attention but not so for Lords,” he said.

This season Delatite CC has drawn back to two senior sides only and will play in the A Grade (1st Division) and B Grade (3rd Division).

“Last season we had trouble rounding up enough players for three teams each week, so the decision was made to field two teams with player numbers able to fill all spots every week,” Scales said.

“There didn’t seem to be the commitment last season which made selection extremely challenging.

“We are confident we will have two full teams to start the season with the same players as last season, along with some up-and-coming junior players moving up.

“Archie Storer will join the seniors this season as well as some other great young stars,” Scales said.

A Grade team captain Chris Anderson has stepped down out of his role due to family commitments but will continue to be a team player.

“We expect to choose and announce the new captains for this season within the next two weeks,” Scales aid.

Delatite will also field the Under 16 and Under 14 teams.

Cricketers who would like to join the club can attend training sessions each Thursday night, currently at the recreation reserve (football ground) in Highett Street from 5pm onwards.

Catch up on golfing events to come

By LAURIE HARCUS

The course is still heavy going with long rough to contend with, but a lovely day overall made it enjoyable.

The trick for the day was to find the errant ball that continually disappeared into the clover.

Most players lost at least one ball and many lost multiples of the little miscreants.

A fine win to Peter Barnes in the morning group, his second outstanding score recently.

Josh Foots had a very good round playing to his handicap; as was another solid round for Don Clutterbuck - good on you Don. There were another three players one shot behind the above-mentioned contestants.

Saturday Stableford: One division - 28 players.

1st - Shane Brook 36 pts (h/c 19) 2nd - Rob Healey 34 pts (h/c 16) 3rd - Josh Foots 33 pts C/B (h/c 13) Three other players shared this score, well done to them, Domingo Diaz, Brad Grant and Phil Conway.

Brook, recently back

A KALEIDOSCOPE of thoughts has been cascading through the minds of the Mansfield Golf Club match committee as they have been wrestling with the reprogramming of events that have been missed and those that are still to come.

Events still to be played include four months of monthly medals, four days of club championships, members group trips away and the medal of medals.

It is suffice to state that there is going to be a lot of golf to be played over the next six weeks.

Tuesday: No competition due to the conditions or lack thereof.

Thursday Stableford: One division - 29 players (our third biggest field in many weeks).

1st - Peter Barnes 38 pts (h/c 18) 2nd - Josh Foots 36 pts (h/c 13) 3rd - Don Clutterbuck 34 pts C/B (h/c 22) Honorable mentions went to Alex Scherini and Rod Sargent also with 32 pts.

SUCCESS: Peter Barnes on his way to a good victory. from Queensland, had a good round; there was a fair amount of practice up there with wife and ladies vice-captain, Linda.

It is fully expected that his march to a low ‘teens’ handicap will continue over summer.

Foots had his day saved by an excellent 21 points on the back nine.

Heath could have had great day out as he was driving and putting beautifully, alas, the lost ball curse prevailed.

Diaz started to find some form after a miserable day on Thursday, having been away for nearly five months during which time he had two nine-

hole rounds and one 18-hole round.

Important news: now that daylight saving has arrived our Wednesday evening nine hole competition has returned.

This has been a very well supported competition over the past few years.

You do not have to be a member of any golf club; you will be given a handicap and you can win the prizes.

The entry fee of $5 also entitles you to a complimentary glass of wine or beer.

It is also open to any ladies who wish to venture out - now that is a ‘deal’.

Secondly - we are trialing this summer an extended tee time for our popular Thursday Stableford competition.

For October competition entries will be to 3pm.

This will gradually go to 3.30 and then 4.00 pm.

The objective of this is to give more people the opportunity to play, envisaging school students and people that start early will be able to utilise this change.

As always there is an extended report of the above on the club website.

SEASON START: Mansfield’s Country Basketball League (CBL) team kicked off their 2022/23 season on Sunday morning against Wangaratta.

Although they didn’t get the win, the game was a great start to what will be an exciting season for this team of very talented young men: (from left) Jason How (assistant coach), Cam Anderson, Ben Les, Brad Whelan, Bowen McCarthy, Flynn Shepherd, Sam King, Jesse King, James Tucci, Tom Hill, Max Campbell, Jason Campbell (coach) and Prue Shepherd (team manager).

STAYING TRUE: Proving their commitment to playing golf in all conditions, was Millie Cumming.

WATER, WATER: just a little bit of water to make the bunkers unplayable at Mansfield Golf Course last week but did not deter Sue Parsons from having a go.

Weather plays havoc yet again for lady golfers

By LINDA TERRY IT is hard to come up with anything much different to talk about, when the weather once again dishes up another drenching, playing havoc with competitions, attendance and scores for Mansfield lady golfers.

The Mansfield golf course seemed even wetter than ever last week and both captains, along with greens staff, have had a hell of a job trying to shuffle playing schedules.

Most importantly out of this shuffling, Mansfield Club Championships have had to be deferred and will now be played on November 9, 16 and 23.

Ladies are also having to catch up on September’s Monthly Medal which will now, hopefully, be played on Saturday, October 15.

As for this past week, well it was only the die-hards who were prepared to get their feet wet, others opted for coffee and cake.

Just eight ladies last Wednesday and the best of a bad bunch was yours truly (Linda Terry) with 26 points, closely followed by the other Linda (Brook), on 25 and Sue Parsons with 22.

Linda B got the best shot on the 18th.

On Saturday, with the sun shining at least, seven ladies turned up and conditions must have dried out a bit as the scores were certainly more commendable.

Lyn Poulson won with 35 points, from Sheryl Sargent on 33 and Jackie Smithwick with 29 points.

Sargent also picked up the nearest the pin on the 3rd.

Away from home, Mansfield had Sheryl Sargent and Sam Bailey, along with six other ladies from around the district represented the North East, at the Country Teams week; this year held at Shepparton, Mooroopna and Tatura.

Sadly, the event ended up being a complete washout with Mansfield’s team only getting to play once on the Monday morning before the afternoon and the following day, and the overall event, all being called off as the rain continued to teem down.

All hail however, to Sargent, Bailey and the rest of the Mansfield players for their commitment, willingness and good humor, in what was a very disappointing and frustrating outcome.

By MICHELLE PIGDON MANSFIELD’S U14 gold boys travelled to Echuca for their annual tournament on the long weekend and a successful tournament it was for the boys: Oscar Pigdon, Jay Kynnersley, Jack Clydesdale, Sam Hough, Taj Kynnersley, Josh Taylor, Gus Robinson and Harris Kain.

The team of eight combined from the first ball up against the Echuca boys in their first match, winning 34-19.

They never let them get a look in with all eight boys putting points on the board.

Taj Kynnersley top scored with nine points.

That was day one done, feeling confident for day two against Wangaratta and Griffith.

Brent Clydesdale is head coach for the team and was pretty confident that Wang was going to be a fairly easy game given how the boys performed on Friday with their strong rebounds from Sam and Harris and accurate shooting by Gus and Josh.

It turned out to be a 59-4 win for the boys, Harris top scoring with 18 points.

Saturday night’s game against Griffith was meant to be an even match up.

The game was even at half time, but after a break the boys returned to the court with a new level of intensity that Brent had not seen before.

Jack, Oscar and Josh had their fast feet on, creating five quick turnovers to turn the game Mansfield’s way.

Sunday’s game against Myrtleford was a must win to secure top position in our pool and to get a crack at the grand final.

Myrtleford was in the same position.

They were the strongest team we had played all weekend but credit to the boys they showed them who

was the better team and won 33-20, Gus top scoring with 10 points.

After that win we knew we had a position in the grand final.

Excited as the boys were to play in the grand final their nerves were showing too.

Rochester was a fantastic skilled tall team that kept in front of Mansfield all game; we couldn’t get in front of them until the last five minutes of the second half.

But once we got in front we held the lead; they had two players in foul trouble on the bench and we capitalised on that.

We snuck two quick goals in to get over the line.

Gus top scored on eight points, Harris on seven, Oscar on six and Jack on five.

Final scores 34-28.

Well done boys and bring on the next tournament.
