Our ambos are acing it Mansfield the lone North East LGA to improve p Code 1 response p times in p past 12 months MANSFIELD was the th only l region in the North East to see an improvement in Code 1 ambulance response times in the last 12 months, with the average falling from more than 27 minutes to just shy of 23 minutes in data released last week.

Paramedics attended 46.9 per cent of Code 1 patients in the Mansfield LGA within 15 minutes - an improvement compared

with 39 per cent the same time last year.

The average response time to Code 1 patients was 22 minutes and 56 seconds - an improvement from 27 minutes and 39 seconds the same time last year.

In the Mansfield Local

Government Area (LGA) (LGA), G tA there was a 19.5 per cent increase in Code 1 caseload from the same time last year, reflecting the experience across the entire region.

Ambulance Victoria Hume Regional Director Narelle Capp said demand for ambulance services remained at record levels for the first quarter of 2022/23 due to the continued impacts

COVID 19 and d th “July to September was our busiest first quarter on record, and the second busiest quarter ever,” Ms Capp said.

“Together with the previous quarter, this was by far the busiest and most challenging winter ever.”

But Mansfield’s improvement stands alone.

Response times continue to balloon across the North

East, E t with ith regional i l residents id t routinely faced with waits of more than 20 minutes instead of the desired maximum of 15 minutes for an emergency Code 1 response.

Member for Northern Victoria Tania Maxwell said despite significant investment, the service towards regional communities had largely failed to improve.

“Compared the JJune “C d with ith th quarter, much the same data is showing up in every respect,” Ms Maxwell said.

“Country people are only too well aware of the reality and tyranny of distance - but the hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into Ambulance Victoria in the past six months is not changing our communities’ experience for the better.

Mansfield’s big health check

By EMMA OLIVER MAGDA’S Big National Health Check went to air last Tuesday night, with Mansfield featuring heavily in the first episode, ostensibly because of the shire’s poor health prognosis.

The program claims that Mansfield’s children have some of the worst health outcomes in the region with poor diet and lack of physical activity to blame.

And that death and chronic disease in the shire was 20 per cent higher than the national average.

Mansfield is then celebrated as a shire that is spearheading change, with the council refusing planning permission for a McDonalds and supporting Mansfield District Hospital to implement the community-driven Mansfield Respond Project.

The Respond Project unites numerous tailored health initiatives under the one umbrella, born from the key findings of a 2019 Deakin University-led research study.

In 2019, 3889 students in grade two, four and six, from 91 schools in the Ovens Murray and Goulburn regions of the state participated in the RESPOND Health Behaviours Study.

Data collection was used to examine rates of healthy

BIGGER PICTURE: Amongst other initiatives, the hospital in collaboration with the council have also delivered free exercise classes like the Mansfield Summer Series, to not only keep the community active and engaged but also support our local health and fitness providers. weight, healthy eating, regular physical activity, sleep and wellbeing among school children in the area.

The results from that data collection led to the formation of the Mansfield Respond Project, a community-led, place-based approach to improve the health and wellbeing of local children, as well as the wider community.

Led by the Mansfield District Hospital and the Mansfield Shire Council, the project is a world-first initiative, which attempts to address chronic illness and improve

health outcomes beyond the city.

The unique focus in Mansfield is on making it a community priority rather than leaving it up to the individual.

“Mansfield was chosen to feature in the ABC series because of the Mansfield Respond Project, not because of concerning’ statistics,” said Lucy Marks, dietician and Respond Project coordinator.

“We are all incredibly proud that our work and that of the community is being shared nation-wide.

Thank you to the very scary but not so evil Maleficent Witch (aka Stephie Kottsieper) who took up residence in our Newsagency for Halloween. A cause of much wonderment and joy for all, especially the children, many of whom were delighted to be photographed with her.

Well done Stephie.

“We can’t wait for the next two episodes which will delve into exactly what the Respond Project is all about, as well as touch on some other preventative promotion programs within the community.

“As a health promotion agency we don’t focus on or push negative statistics as it can imply guilt or blame.

“Instead it’s more ‘here are the facts and what are we going to do about it’.”

Ms Marks said that the primary concern when it came to the health of the community was the low level of vegetable intake by our children in comparison to neighbouring shires.

For children in the Goulburn Valley, the regional average was 14.6 per cent meeting the consumption guideline of five serves of vegetables per day.

Within the Mansfield Shire 11.3 per cent of boys and 12.1 per cent of girls met the target.

Fruit consumption was not of concern, with 80.3 per cent of boys and 82.8 per cent of girls meeting the guidelines, above the regional percentage of 73.9 per cent.

“As a result, a lot of our Respond Project initiatives are focused on increasing vegetable consumption, whether that is through the

fortnightly Fresh Food Drive or Soup for Schools, and now Chop and Chat,” said Ms Marks.

However, despite vegetable consumption being low, Mansfield performed well in other categories.

When asked to self-report on physical activity undertaken and whether they met the guidelines of 60 minutes per day at a moderate-to-vigorous level, only 31 per cent of boys and 20.7 per cent of girls said that they qualified.

Yet when a subsample of the same students received an accelerometer device to wear on their wrists for one week to monitor their physical activity, over 90 per cent of both boys and girls averaged more than 60 minutes of activity per day.

This was above average for the Goulburn Valley region.

It also draws attention to the subjective nature of selfreporting.

When it came to healthy weight, 20.8 per cent of boys and 24.5 per cent of girls fell in to the overweight or obese category locally.

This was well below the state average of 37.3 per cent, with figures drawn from a 2014 study using criteria from the World Health Organisation.

“Mansfield Shire has many active, healthy communities and the data that

we have shows a much more balanced view than the statistics provided on Magda’s Big National Health Check,” said Mansfield Shire Mayor Cr James Tehan.

“We do consume more sugar-sweetened beverages daily than the state average, and we do have fewer health-related checks due to pressures on our local health system.

“However as a community we are more physically active.

“We have mountains, lakes and rivers right on our doorstep and as a shire we embrace the great outdoors.

“A greater percentage of our community also meet the guidelines for consumption of fruit and vegetables than the state average,” added Cr Tehan.

“The latest data that compares us to our neighbouring shires indicates that we have fewer adults with one or more long-term health conditions than any other municipality in North East Victoria.

“And our community eats takeaway less often than any other North East local government area except for Towong Shire.”

It highlights that although Mansfield is portrayed as an unhealthy shire, many of the results from the Deakin University study should be used more as an indication of room for improvement.

Which is exactly what the local hospital and the council are striving to achieve, through the Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan and initiatives like the Mansfield Respond Project.

“It shows what is possible when local health services work with their local community to address local health issues,” said Cameron Butler, CEO of the Mansfield District Hospital.

“After all, we are one and the same; too often this can be overlooked.”

Stopping the chopping Residents speak out about gum tree removal, council responds to concerns

By SHAUN McMAHON

Finucane uca u cane ne & Smith’s Smi mith th s Travelling Tra rave v l

CONCERNED: Local residents are again speaking out about the removal of trees, this time it is on Donovan’s Way. Mansfield Shire Council said they understand the community concern and that permit requirements have been met in this instance. cal resident that the trees had a caveat on them which expired recently, presumably enabling lopping on the land, where the surrounding blocks have been mostly built on in the past few years.

Melissa Crane, acting general manager infrastructure and planning at Mansfield Shire, said council understands that the removal of native vegetation, particularly of large gums, is of concern to the community as they form a significant feature in the landscape of our shire.

“Wherever possible we prioritise the retention of these trees and work with developers to facilitate the protection of native vegetation, working within the constraints of the planning scheme and state government legislation,” said Ms Crane.

“The health and safety of residents and proximity to residential dwellings in subdivisions is a key consideration and advice is sought from qual-

SAFETY CHECK De coding Diagnostic service available

ified arborists when necessary.

“The Cloverdale Estate subdivision has had a planning permit in place since 2014, with a minor amendment to the permit approved in 2022.

“The removal of the trees in Donovan’s Way is compliant with the planning permit for the subdivision, which was approved on residentially zoned land.

“Council is very aware of the community care and concern regarding the removal of native vegetation and has investigated the issue following a complaint made by a community member and can confirm that permit requirements have been met in this instance.”

Ms Crane added that in response to similar concerns previously raised by community members, council is actively working with developers to negotiate opportunities to retain native vegetation in new subdivisions wherever possible and

“

where it is safe to do so.

“Under the Victorian Planning Scheme, land zoned as residential has limited protections for native vegetation,” said Ms Crane.

“Council officers have been successful in working with the developer to protect some of the trees on this site (three trees will be retained); however, given that it is a residential zone, it is possible that these trees may be removed in the future.

“Community members with land containing native vegetation can apply to become a native vegetation offset site.

“This ensures that as Mansfield Shire develops, the offset of the loss of vegetation is reinvested in our shire.

“People who do this would contribute to enhancing local biodiversity and keeping the economic benefit of the offset scheme within our community,” concluded Ms Crane.

CONCERNED residents are again speaking out about the removal of trees and native vegetation on land being developed for Mansfield’s residential sprawl.

The area in question this time is on Donovan’s Way in the fledgling Cloverdale Estate subdivision, a few minutes north of the town centre off the MansfieldWhitfield Road.

Disquiet on the lopping of an estimated 16 gum trees that one resident suggested were 150-250 years old appeared online last week.

Local Edwin Adamson, who last year appealed to VCAT against council’s decision to grant an 18-lot subdivision on Highton Lane which included tree and vegetation removal, then wrote to the Mansfield Shire Council, saying that this continuous destruction has to stop.

“The destruction of these trees, full of nesting hollows including those of Eastern Rosella, is a travesty of the late Graham Corless project that was designed to provide rural living while preserving these grand habitat trees,” said Mr Adamson.

“No trees are safe from being killed while lots of 4000 square metres or less have no protections at all for these icons of the Mansfield Shire.”

Start your state election engines for a second time

By SHAUN McMAHON VOTERS in the Mansfield region will head to the polls for the second time this year, this time to elect the 60th Victorian Parliament on Saturday, November 26.

Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau last week issued the writs for the Victorian state election, formally triggering the election process, with candidate nominations opening.

In the Eildon District, which includes the Mansfield Shire, so far incumbent Liberal MP Cindy McLeish, Jane Judd (Labor), Wil Mikelsons (Australian Greens), and Chloe Bond (Animal Justice Party) have nominated for election.

Ms McLeish has held the seat of Eildon since 2014, after serving as a member of the superseded Seymour electorate since 2010.

The Eildon District electorate covers 10,061 square kilometres.

At the 2018 state election the electorate had 44,881 voters; however, a recent redivision of state electoral boundaries has seen the Eildon District gain 3049 voters from Hurstbridge, Nutfield and Cottles Bridge.

With the addition of these largely Labor voting areas, political commentary suggests the Liberal margin for Eildon has reduced from 2.4 per cent to just over 1 per cent - a further narrowing since 2014 when Liberal saw an initial 3.9 per cent swing to Labor.

This is consistent with the statewide swing to Labor over the last two elections.

Last Saturday Labor announced their candidate in the Eildon District.

Jane Judd, a social worker and teacher with a background in community health care, has been passed the torch by former candidate Sally Brennan.

Eildon District voters will soon head to the p p polls,, with candidate nominations now open

REDIVISION: A recent change of state electoral boundaries has seen the Eildon District gain 3049 voters from Hurstbridge, Nutfield and Cottles Bridge, which were largely Labor voting areas in 2018.

The party received solid results in areas such as Warburton and Hurstbridge back in 2018, pulling 73 and 72 per cent of the vote respectively.

But Liberal stayed strong further north into the electorate, recording 79 per cent of the vote at Goughs Bay and 74 per cent at Yarck.

“Every vote matters,” said Victorian Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately.

“Voters should be aware of the voting options available and make a plan if they are unable to vote on November 26.

“An increased number of early voting centres will be open from Monday, November 14 to 6pm on Friday, November 25 all around Victoria, and at a number of interstate locations,” Mr Gately added.

“You can also apply for a postal vote if you can’t make it to a voting centre or you would just prefer to vote by post.”

Telephone-assisted voting will also be available to voters who are blind, have low vision or those who have a physical disability and require assistance to vote from November 14 to 6pm on election day.

Estate

Voters in areas impacted by floods will also be able to both register and vote using telephone assisted voting.

Voters are also reminded that there is no cut-off age for voting in Victoria.

Those who are interstate, travelling or living overseas will be able to apply for a postal vote and can request to receive their ballot pack by email.

Victorians have until 8pm Tuesday, November 8 to enrol or update their details, which they can do on the VEC website at vec.vic. gov.au.

Delatite vision for year-round destination

By LYNN ELDER THE vision of offering high quality accommodation as part of an overall pitch for Delatite Winery to be part of a year-round food and wine destination is a step closer with the announcement of a successful submission through the Enabling Tourism Fund for $500,000.

On hearing the news Delatite Winery’s owner, David Ritchie said, “We were absolutely delighted because we were not sure if we would get it.”

“What it has done is basically brought the project forward by 18 months to two years, and has enabled us to fast track planning.”

David describes it as “getting all our ducks in a row.”

The plan, which started as just an idea, identified the area to be developed to the north of the new building and the old cellar door.

David did agree that the original plan was “very much a mud map.”

“What the funding has done is allow us to convert a mud map to being shovel ready,” he said.

“And I’d like to acknowledge the help and support of the Victorian Government via Regional Development Victoria and the Shire of Mansfield in assisting/ supporting our application.”

The funding will provide all the necessary preparatory groundwork needed to proceed with the building on-site of 14 fully self-contained single bedroom villas.

David said in developing a master plan for the winery it is envisaged to include staff accommodation but guests were a priority at this stage.

Providing accommodation on site which could cater for up to 14 couples opens up opportunities for short-stays whether it is to enjoy the onsite restaurant only 200 metres away, a function or take in the scenic surrounds.

As David explained a lot needs to happen beforehand, which is where the funding plays a vital contribution in ensuring the build can proceed.

To enable the project there are numerous licenses and ap-

ROOM WITH A VIEW: Delatite Winery’s David Ritchie on the site of where the new accommodation villas will be built.

PHOTO: Lynn Elder provals, permits and inspections, not to mention the services of architects and surveyors to be involved.

The new build, which is designed to complement the cellar door and restaurant which opened 16 months ago, will incorporate the same environmental and energy efficient approach that David espouses.

The Delatite winery currently operates with 100 kg of solar panels and 73 kW battery which can be expanded as needed.

The project will involve local trades people including electricians and plumbers, and use local building materials where possible.

“We aim to have the planning and building permit approval by June 30 followed by the engagement of a builder,” said David.

As with the previous building project the winery would be working closely with the Mansfield Shire and was appreciative of the support which helped to deliver a building that everyone loved.

According to David, this new project has been prompted by a shortage of commercial accommodation in the Mansfield area when looking at comparable tourist areas such as Bright.

He said the state government is predicting an increase in visitor numbers to the area with the

development of the Alpine and Lake Eildon plans, which promote the area as a year-round destination.

The successful submission highlighted that while a number of wineries in Victoria offer accommodation and some offer villa/cottage style options, none can be readily identified that match what is proposed in terms of the combination of the following characteristics: 4.5 -5 star rating, self contained, environmental sustainability (off-grid), unobstructed and picturesque views of the Victorian Alps from each villa (snow-covered from JuneOctober) and proximity to Mt Buller/Mt Stirling Alpine Resort.

“Outside the coastal areas and some of the wine growing regions, there is very little quality accommodation in Victoria compared to South Australia and New South Wales,” said David.

His intention is to provide a five star experience for guests while maintaining what is good for the landscape and fits with Delatite Winery’s environmental values that are true to the brand.

The winery is already recognised for its biodynamic approach to wine making and has recently introduced two “natural”

wines to the cellar door listing.

David stressed the business is committed to being carbon neutral.

The philosophy of “paddock to the plate” is behind the establishment of a 100-tree orchard and a half-hectare vegetable garden which complements other locally sourced produce used in the restaurant.

The Delatite Winery offers a range of Estate and Reserve Block wines which are 100 per cent produced from onsite grapes while the High Ground label sources some grapes from elsewhere.

The ongoing success of the winery is a family affair, with David’s daughter Polly taking on a marketing role which has brought a fresh perspective to the business.

David said the hospitality side of things was a huge leap of faith but was quick to highlight the important role his hospitality manager Tiffany Henwood played.

The addition of new chefs to the kitchen team has now enabled them to focus on offering and showcasing the best food in the North East region.

“Our aim with this new building and the accommodation is to put Mansfield on the map as a food and wine destination,” David concluded.

Boosting recycling in Mansfield Shire THE state government has recently announced funding aimed at improving recycling and reducing landfill for those living and working in the Mansfield Shire.

The funding will enable new glass drop-off points to be established throughout the shire, allowing tonnes of glass to be recycled into new glass bottles and jars.

The funding is part of the $129 million statewide spend to rollout the new four-stream waste and recycling service, due to be introduced to Mansfield Shire in mid-2024.

New Victorian legislation requires all local governments to deliver a new four-stream waste and recycling system.

Across Victoria, this will help divert 80 per cent of all materials away from landfill by 2030, which includes 20,000 tonnes of glass.

The funding council has received will be used for purchasing specially-designed glass separation bins.

These bins will be strategically placed around the shire to establish public drop-off points.

Once full, the bins will be transported to a glass recycling facility for emptying and processing.

It is envisioned that this project will be completed by July 2023.

Man or mouse?

ON the morning of Monday, October 31, a large cane basket was given to the mall op-shop for sale.

It was clearly priced at $10 and put out for sale.

However, during the morning it disappeared without payment being made.

If the person who removed it fronted up (are you man or mouse?) and either returned or paid for it, it would be appreciated.

The op-shop has supported many local organisations, as well as the Uniting Church, selling goods given for such purposes and appreciated.

Airbnb ‘party zone’ RESIDENTS of the Mansfield Shire are no doubt very familiar with the local accommodation crisis that has seen a scarcity of long-term rental properties, with the few that become available typically offered at prices unaffordable to most.

The immense profitability of Airbnb style short-term holiday rentals in the shire is no wonder given the ongoing

popularity of Mansfield and surrounds and the host of attractions it can rightly lay claim to all year round.

The darker side to this situation is obviously that it is limiting the opportunities for locals to secure something as essential to anyone’s sense of security as a roof over their head.

I would also like to highlight the sometimes damaging impact of holiday accommodation upon established communities when properties in residential streets are irresponsibly promoted and used as “party houses”.

Some local councils, on the Mornington Peninsula for instance, have been forced to impose stricter regulations in an attempt to curb a growing number of residents’ complaints about excessive noise and other issues associated with short-term accommodation.

On multiple occasions last month loud parties were held at a house in Merrijig, attracting numerous complaints from surrounding residents and eventually Mansfield police intervened to end the disruption.

On this particular occasion illegal fireworks were also discharged, and the street was clogged with more than 30

vehicles belonging to visitors to the house.

According to its listing, this modest house (surrounded by other homes) claims to accommodate up to 30 visitors and is actively promoted as a venue for weddings and parties.

Such lack of regard for neighbours in the name of a commercial enterprise is truly gobsmacking and is something that may have long term deleterious effects on the social fabric of a community.

I hope that the Mansfield Shire Council has this issue within its scope and will take suitable action to curb this kind of antisocial conduct, lest our tranquil mountain region become the next infamous “anything-goes” party zone.

Pat Davis, Merrijig

Calls for sustainable housing answers SUSTAINABILITY Mansfield met last week with many important aspects around sustainability across our region on our agenda.

As a community group we are deeply concerned about the lack of affordable accommodation options for

local workers and families across the Mansfield region.

The article referenced last week in the Courier ‘Housing Shortages being addressed with new builds’ gives no assurance of affordable, sustainable or innovative housing options for local workers and families for this region in the short term.

We must urgently explore a range of options that includes entry level housing, multiple dwellings on suitable land areas and additional existing dwellings on farm and rural land areas.

Plus, a caveat for existing dwellings to be better utilised by the local community, and to provide support in the economic cost for local businesses trying to attract local essential and important workers, rather than just providing Airbnb accommodation.

A housing petition currently being signed will be presented to councillors in the coming weeks for their urgent consideration.

Community members are also welcome to join the community Sustainability Mansfield Facebook group or sign up at sustainability.mansfield@gmail. com for more details.

Remembering the fallen AT the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month (this coming Friday), Mansfield will pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations.

The short service at Mansfield will commence at 11am sharp with the sounding of the CFA siren and those attending at the memorial gates will bow heads in silence for one minute.

Following this tribute a short service will be held with former Australian Navy Officer, Steve Rabie addressing the gathering speaking on naval action for Gallipolli.

During the service an essay written by a Mansfield Secondary School student will be read.

This will be the winning entry from many received by senior students from the school.

Mansfield RSL sub-branch president, Tom Ingpen, said the essay

competition used to be run prior to Anzac Day but with time constrictions at the beginning of each year, little time was given for students to research and write the essays.

The competition is now run with the secondary college and the RSL sub-branch coinciding with Remembrance Day. Mr Ingpen said this year there were many excellent essays submitted and a second prize was being awarded.

Following the short service in Highett Street, the Mansfield RSL rooms will be open for refreshments.

Remembrance Day has been commemorated since late 1918; after more than four years of bitter fighting, Allied forces finally broke stubborn German resistance and forced Germany to sue for peace.

Entire nations cheered as fighting ceased and the armistice that ended fighting in the First World

War took effect at 11am on 11 November 1918.

One year later, commemorations to mark the anniversary of the end of the war were held across the Commonwealth - the day becoming known as Armistice Day. At the request of King George V, the people of the Empire ceased work at 11am to hold a two-minute vigil to remember the fallen.

This vigil would evolve into the minute’s silence of today’s Remembrance Day services.

By the end of the Second World War Armistice Day had grown from solely a remembrance of the men and women of the Great War into something larger, becoming a day to honour all those who had fallen in war.

Australians continue to observe Remembrance Day and services are held across the country and include one minute’s silence at 11am on this day in silent tribute to the fallen.

REMEMBER THEM: This Friday at 11am Mansfield residents will pause to remember those fallen and injured during all war campaigns across the nations. Australians will be particularly remembered for their participation in the WW1 Gallipoli battle and across Europe.

HELPING HAND: Joining the local community, members of Mansfield’s SES along with those from SES Marysville Unit, SES Alexandra Unit, CFA Rescue Association and Forest Fire Management Victoria contributed to sandbagging efforts in Thornton, during earlier flooding in October.

Busiest month on record for SES

SOME of Mansfield’s SES members been part of the busiest month in history for the Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES), with volunteers across the state responding to a staggering 13,705 requests for assistance.

That’s almost a 28 per cent increase on the previous record of 10,740 requests, set in June 2021.

SES volunteers have been working tirelessly to provide emergency assistance during October’s extensive flooding rains, storms, and destructive winds.

The busiest volunteer units during October have included: Shepparton and Tatura (over 1,600 callouts) Echuca (650), Bendigo (482), Rochester (462) and Kerang (232).

It follows two of the three busiest years on record for VICSES with 2020-21 the busiest financial year in the organisation’s history, which included the response to the June 2021 storm.

Victoria SES operates 150 units across six regions, including a bustling unit here in Mansfield headed up by Unit Controller Tom Thoburne.

“We’ve coped really well here,” said Mr Thoburne following the downpours late last month.

“It could’ve been a lot worse compared with other towns around district; overall, we’re still busy, but want to thank the community for listening to warnings and staying safe - not going out and driving through floodwaters.”

“But there’s more rain on the way, with the current wet weather pattern set to stay right up until Christmas,” concluded Mr Thoburne.

Rochester Unit Controller, Tim Williams, said in his years living in the region, he has never encountered anything like the recent floods.

“Rochester has never experienced flooding like this, where there was not one dry

street,” said Mr Williams.

“Even our unit flooded.

“My home was flooded, as were several colleagues, and many of the Country Fire Authority (CFA) volunteers we were working with.

“We just moved forward with the work and tried not to think about what was happening at home.

“We were evacuating people, so that’s where our attention needed to be.

“The spirit of the community has been extraordinary; volunteering their time and resources, and making things happen,” concluded Mr Williams.

The record-breaking month, which has left Mansfield largely unscathed for now, is a timely reminder for locals to download the VicEmergency app for warning and advice messaging and to check the VicTraffic mobile app or website before travelling for updates on road closures, hazards and alternative journeys.

From page 1 “In August I encouraged the government to work harder and smarter to fix worsening ambulance emergency response times across Northern Victoria.

“But no-one in regional and rural Victoria is seeing the radical shift that would actually put more qualified paramedics and ambulance emergency vehicles on the ground where we live.”

In Q1 data for this financial year, Mansfield’s neighbouring Strathbogie Shire recorded an average response time of 25 minutes and 55 seconds, the sixth highest in the state, having risen by almost four minutes since the same time last year.

Benalla saw a drop in their response time, averaging 18 minutes compared with 20 in last quarter’s data, but still two minutes higher than their 16 minute average this time last year.

It’s probable that Mansfield’s improvement comes after local paramedics were thrown the lifeline they had been desperate for and were injected with a further 14 people, taking them from just eight paramedics to 22, after significant community campaigning late last year.

In a second boost in August this year, three more paramedics were recruited to Mansfield.

But Ms Maxwell says the state government needs to do more.

“The state can ramp up investment in home care services, community paramedics, Country Fire Authority trained firefighter responder services, and community campaigns to inform all of us how and when to use triple zero,” she said.

“But this government risks lives by doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

“It isn’t safe,” Ms Maxwell concluded.

IT ISN’T SAFE: Member for Northern Victoria Tania Maxwell said despite Mansfield’s improvement, the state government needs to do more to improve response times across the Northern Victoria.

Social inclusion action group coming to Mansfield

Cr Sladdin recognised at Service Awards THE dedication and commitment of Cr Paul Sladdin including his role as a former mayor of Mansfield Shire Council was recently recognised with a Councillor Service Award for 10 years’ of continuous service at the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) Gala Dinner Awards night in Melbourne.

The Victorian Councillor Service Awards were established by the MAV, Victoria’s peak body for local government, to recognise the contribution of long serving councillors across the state.

When congratulating Cr Sladdin, Mayor Cr James Tehan said that this is an incredible achievement that reflects the level of dedication and commitment Cr Sladdin has for his community.

“The fundamental role of a councillor is to represent and serve their community,” said Cr Tehan.

“It’s not an easy job.

“Councillors must contribute to the community by serving the overall public interest in every decision they make.

“Cr Sladdin’s long term knowledge and understanding of his role is a real asset to council and I congratulate him on his outstanding contribution and dedication to the Mansfield Shire community.”

Cr Sladdin said, “It has been an honour to continuously serve my community as a councillor for the past decade.

“The positive changes I have seen over the 10 years as a councillor has been humbling to watch and I’m honoured to have been a driver in that change.”

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AWARD: Cr Paul Sladdin recognised for his 10 years service with Mansfield Shire Council.

MANSFIELD Shire has been selected as one of the first five local government areas to receive funding for a new Victorian Government state-wide initiative to promote community connection and inclusion efforts that support mental health and wellbeing.

This flagship prevention initiative was recommended by the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.

Under the program, council will receive flexible funding to establish a Social Inclusion Action Group made up of community members and leaders of all backgrounds and ages.

Their role will be to work together to identify and deliver initiatives, developed by locals for locals, which will support community participation, promote connections and boost social inclusion to support mental health and wellbeing.

The first five Action Groups will be established over the next year by: • Mansfield Shire Council • Frankston City Council • Benalla Rural City Council • Rural City of Wangaratta • Latrobe City Council Further groups are due to be up

and running across the state by 2025.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said he was delighted to see Mansfield Shire being selected as one of the first local government areas to progress this exciting initiative.

“The health and wellbeing of our community is one of council’s highest priorities,” he said.

“We know that community health will benefit if we identify key issues early and work together to find solutions that will have a positive impact on the whole community.”

“I’m pleased to see that the Royal Commission recognises that communities are the ones best placed to understand the needs of their own community and have given us the opportunity to identify initiatives and find solutions to support social connection and inclusion.”

Guidelines for the program are currently being developed and information on opportunities for the community to be involved will be presented when available.

Opening up Eildon Pondage for recreation THE state opposition have announced as an election promise that they will open up the Eildon Pondage, so locals and visitors will finally be able to enjoy non-motorised water activity safely in the area.

Minimal work needs to be undertaken to make the pondage as safe as possible and to limit activity to the areas where the current is less.

This change aims to benefit locals, tourists, outdoor

education providers and school groups alike and hopes to attract new small businesses offering recreational attraction.

State Liberal Member for Eildon, Cindy McLeish, said she was excited to an-

Search for missing man POLICE are currently searching for Kenny Freeman who has been reported missing and are appealing for public assistance to help locate him.

The 49-year-old, who recently moved to the Euroa area, failed to log on for work on Monday, October 31.

The last contact with Mr Freeman was on October 21.

Police and family are concerned for Mr Freeman’s welfare as his disappearance is out of character.

Kenny is described caucasian in appearance, approximately 180cm tall, with an athletic medium build, and shaved brown hair.

He is originally from Canada but has lived in Australia for about eight years.

Prior to moving to Euroa he resided in Melbourne.

He is believed to be travelling on his black Yamaha YZE-R3 motorcycle, bearing Victorian registration 2E-1FI. Police believe it is possible he travelled in the Strathbogie area in recent days.

On Saturday police started a brief search for Mr Freeman covering the areas of Strathbogie

HAVE YOU SEEN KENNY?: Kenny Freeman has not been seen in Euroa since October 20 and is believed to be riding his Yamaha motorcycle. township, Polly McQuinn’s and Gooram Falls areas with no sign of him being there.

Police believe it is possible he may have run his motorcycle off the road and be lying in long grass - unseen.

Images of Mr Freeman and his motorcycle been released in the hope someone can provide information on his current whereabouts.

Anyone who sights Mr Freeman should call triple-zero immediately, or anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact the Seymour Police Station on 5735 0200 or Euroa Police Station on 5795 2017.

nounce the expanded utilisation of the pondage which will allow a larger range of outdoor activities in the area.

“This decision will open up the pondage for increased use for safe water-based ac-

tivities including kayaking, canoeing, water bikes and the like - all non-motorised vessels,” she said “Eildon is a unique, picturesque part of Victoria.

“I’m glad to be encouraging visitation to the area

which will benefit local businesses and hospitality.

“I know council is keen to improve the pondage area which in future could see additional seating areas, canoe launch and fishing platform,” said Ms McLeish.

Sushi and Co is the go DEMAND was strong when Foodworks opened its highly anticipated sushi bar last Wednesday.

Despite opting for a soft opening, the Sushi and Co team pumped out over 30 different varieties of dishes throughout the day, constantly refilling the cabinet as Mansfield welcomed the newest edition to its culinary landscape.

Part of Mansfield Foodworks’ expanding ‘grab and go’ fresh meal options, products like hand rolls, sashimi, rice paper rolls and other Japanese appetisers will be served fresh daily from 8am.

A broad range of gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options will also be on offer.

“You also should stop in and see Sean, Jenny, Denny and Amanda in action,” said store manager, Andrew Marshall.

“You can even order sushi platters for that special occasion or Christmas get together.”  GOOD TO GO: Sushi and Co has opened up at Mansfield Foodworks, with demand strong for the huge range of freshly made meal options.

Chamber

Chats

Welcome to the first of our regular ‘Chamber Chats’ where we let you know what is going on with the Mansfield and District Business Association and business in the Mansfield District.

The initial phase of the MDBA Business Wellbeing program was a success and the MDBA are now looking to role out the second phase of this great initiative. The second phase will see Members provided with credits on our website which they can use to ‘buy’ workshops, gym sessions, Pilates classes and even massages. Keep an eye on our website for more details.

The last few months have been quite busy within the MDBA and, despite the rain, our members have reported good trading in the last few months.

As we all gear up for Christmas, the Mansfield Christmas Windows campaign will be in full swing again, encouraging everyone to buy local.

Businesses can register to have a Mansfield Bendigo Bank piggy bank as part of their window display, with the first 30 to register receiving a $100 grant to help pay for decorations. This campaign is in conjunction with the Mansfield Courier, Mansfield Shire Council and with the support of the Mansfield and District Community Bank.

In August, the MDBA made the very difficult decision to make the executive officer position redundant. Ultimately, maintaining a full-time employee was not sustainable for a small community not for profit organisation. We would like to thank Wes Mudge for his commitment and work in this role and wish him all the best. To ensure that we continue to deliver the best outcomes for our members, in the short term, the MDBA has engaged Grant Prosser to assist the MDBA in strategic development and member engagement, this is a short-term contracted role. Shannon Carpenter will also be assisting the MDBA in event planning and management.

Our member businesses continue to report staff shortages, although it appears that that we are through the worst of it. Finding accommodation for new employees in town is also proving to be an issue. The MDBA has had discussions with the Mansfield Shire to work on ways to address this issue. Please contact the MDBA at info@mansfielddba.com.au if you have any questions or wish to submit feedback about your experiences with staff or housing shortages.

Upcoming Events: 11 November will see the MDBA welcome NBL coach Dean Vickerman to Mansfield. Dean will give a talk about his career and what it takes to succeed. Dean will also be available a meet and greet with members and the people of Mansfield. There will be finger food and a sausage sizzle provided with drinks available at bar prices. Places are limited so book on the MDBA website so you don’t miss out.

The date for the AGM will be decided very soon so keep an eye on your inbox and the Mansfield Courier for further details.

Business after hours – Christmas drinks. All members are invited to our Christmas Drinks, more details soon!

Twycross family legacy on show

By LYNN ELDER MANSFIELD’S Dr Will and Margie Twycross are major sponsors of a new permanent installation opening on October 29 at Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Building, which includes a significant collection of family objects with links to the two ‘World Fairs’ of 1880 and 1888 held there.

Following extensive restoration work between 2017 and 2020, the public will be privy to a view of ‘Marvellous’ Melbourne’s history, unseen for 100 years.

The Royal Exhibition Building’s southern façade has been restored and the Dome Promenade viewing deck reinstated.

The Twycross family connection is through Will’s great grandfather, John ‘Top Hat’ Twycross; a wealthy wool merchant with a keen eye for valuable artwork and beautiful items which

earned him a reputation as a ‘well known expert’ who amassed a large collection of works from around the world.

As Will explained to ABC broadcaster Virginia Trioli during a recent interview, the connection to the historic site has come full circle with many of the items purchased at the ‘World Fairs’ by his great grandfather now coming back to be shared by others outside his family.

According to Will, the ‘John Twycross Melbourne International Exhibitions Collection’ made up of more than 200 objects were carefully curated by four generations of women in his family before being donated in 2008 to Museum Victoria as custodian of the Royal Exhibition Building.

The offer to become sponsors following the donation was tied to a book being published and a commitment to display the collection by Museum Victoria.

FAMILY LEGACY: In front of part of the John Twycross Melbourne International Collection at the private opening, (from left) Dr Michelle Stevenson Head of History & Technology at Museum Victoria, Margie and Will Twycross, Hugh Twycross, Will Lopez and Sam Twycross.

Although it has taken 14 years for the work to be completed, Will and his family are delighted with result.

“The donation of the collection formed the nucleus of the idea for the Dome Promenade Experience, which will be a permanent feature at Museum Victoria,” said Will.

“It is a gift that keeps giving and I enjoy the fact that it belongs to a public institution.”

The pieces on show in both the basement display and as part of the new Dome Experience provide a rare insight into the tastes and trends of the Royal Exhibition Building which was built for the 1880 Melbourne

International Exhibition.

Will said while some Australian works of art were part of the collection, most items were international and included Japan, China and Europe.

“My great grandfather John and his wife Charlotte only had two children who went on to only have one

child each, one of which was my father,” he said.

“With a smaller family the valuable collection was not broken up between family members.”

As a key attraction of the 1880 and 1888 international exhibitions, the Dome Promenade provided visitors a unique opportunity to overlook the gardens and view the Melbourne skyline.

Among the items on display is a parasol that was no doubt used by John’s wife Charlotte to promenade around the dome.

A century later her descendants, including Will and his children, have the same opportunity to be part of a shared history.

The guided experience allows visitors to experience these spectacular views along with an exhibition that explores the building’s history and varied uses over time, including the significant John Twycross Collection.

M2R YOUTH: Edwin Morphett was the winner of the Youth Section at Arts Mansfield’s 27th Median to Rare Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition. With a piece titled ‘Garden of Circles’, Edwin was one of 14 creative artists who exhibited on the day. Clark and Co, Yenckens Hardware and Marks IGA are in their twenty third year of sponsorship of the exhibition.

The Mansfield Courier is in its twenty second and Foodworks has supported Median to Rare for twelve years.

Earth Structures North East agreed to come on board this year.

MOST amazing event for local artists

By EMMA OLIVER AFTER the success of the previous year, Wendy Jagger had envisaged that the Mansfield Open Studio Trail could only get bigger and better.

She was right.

With 36 artists registering for the event in 2022 - almost double last year’s total of 19 - even Wendy was humbled by the response to an event that was in still in its relative infancy, having only begun in 2019.

Born from her own desire to invite the community into her studio and witness and embrace the creative process, the Melbourne Cup Long Weekend was chosen for the trail, to complement and add to an already exciting calendar of events.

Wendy remarked that many visitors - both locals and tourists - were surprised by how many creative people lived and worked in the shire.

Visitors were also impressed by the diversity and variety of artists and the mediums in which they worked, from science fiction authors to textile artists, ceramicists and jewellers.

“There were seasoned MOST exhibitors and those who were opening their studios for the first time, and were anxious about putting themselves out there,” said Wendy.

STUDIO GOLD: Emma Rose was the lucky recipient of the $250 MOST voucher with participating artists Jane Jordon and Felicity Hayward.

INSPIRATION: Local author Belinda Crawford (left) was on hand with her young adult fiction and short stories.

“We had some artists not exhibit this year due to other commitments.

“And we had others who had exhibited a couple of pieces in joint shows, decide to open up their own space and become one of the 28 studios that made up the trail.

“It all adds to the changing scape of the event and keeps it fresh.”

With the positive comments about the work on show, also came the compliments about the gardens and studio spaces, with the event providing a unique snapshot into this beautiful part of the

world, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the region through the eyes of its residents.

Wendy commented that one of the most affirming parts of the Mansfield Open Studio Trail was for artists to be able to hear the customer feedback.

“When you exhibit in a gallery or sell in a retail shop you miss that connection, which as an artist can be incredibly important,” she said.

“That’s what you take away with you are those words and compliments.

“You always will have

those moments when you question your direction or ability, and those words are what you will return to at those times.”

This year there were more visitors but individual sales were down.

However with more artists across the region participating and all reporting sales, Wendy believes the average spend may have been the same just dispersed.

Painter Chris Sullivan had lots of walk-throughs and some good sales, finding the Sunday busier than the Saturday.

For her first-ever studio

opening it was a positive and uplifting experience, with Chris’s daughter Sarah commenting on how chuffed her mum was with the beautiful and encouraging feedback.

The Jamieson contingent also reported that visitation and sales were stronger on the Sunday, indicative of visitors taking the whole weekend to explore all that the region had to offer.

And with the sun shining all weekend reflecting the mood in studios across the shire, it looks like next year’s event will continue to build on the successes of previous years.

Wendy attributes the standout event to the tireless work of its volunteer-run committee of Craig Dixon, Clarissa Leatham and Felicity Hayward.

“We also need to send a shoutout to Melissa Crowe for designing our branding, and delivering such an incredible social media and online campaign,” Wendy said.

“And to each and every artist that participated in the trail who embraced the concept and just ran with it, the hugest thank you.

“It was a glorious weekend.”

Top artists win best awards

By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY A TRADITIONAL oil on canvas titled “The Haycart” took out the 44th Annual Mansfield District Hospital Auxiliary Art Show’s major prize on October 28.

Painted by Drew Gregory, the work was described by art judge Richard Watson as “absolutely exquisite; an outstanding stunning work, brilliant in its composition and stark in its realism.”

“This outstanding artist captured the natural Australia; it captures the actual landscape and icon of our pioneering past like no other,” Mr Watson said.

“It’s executed in its contemporary realist style, the era you can feel this is how it is, and this is how

it was; I remember it well.

“Very nostalgic.

“This artist’s work brings back those memories to all when you see it.”

Mr Watson said it was great to see the art show return after a two-year break.

“Much has happened in that two years,” he said.

“However, in that time we have seen an incredible growth in our town and with that has been a huge boost to the arts community, particularly through the Arts Council and other individuals.

“There has been a huge influx of artists in every genre in this town.

“I cannot believe how many people paint, get involved in the arts; there are plays, all sorts of things happening that I have never seen

TOP PRIZE: Taking out the top award at this year’s Mansfield Hospital Auxiliary art show was this striking painting titled “The Haycart” by Drew Gregory fetching the Mansfield Rotary Club’s acquisition prize. in the years growing up here.

Mr Watson said the growth is shown by the 182 works exhibited by 71 participating artists, local artists number 24 and have entered 72 works.

“Of the 74 artists submitting artworks for this exhibition some 28 were locals which just shows the grow-

DEVONSHIRE WEDNESDAYS

ing artist colony of Mansfield,” Mr Watson said.

“It’s also encouraging to see some of Victoria’s and Australia’s most recognised and popular artists now entering pieces in this show.

“This must be encouraged as it brings a whole lot of other artists in and adds credibility.

Mr Watson said it is a not an easy task to select 10 works for recognition from 182 pieces.

“It’s very difficult to determine some outstanding works that you see, which I would love to give an award, but you are limited by the number of awards obviously,” he said.

“It hurts sometimes to not give an award or recognition to a painting that you think is deserving of such, but perhaps the bonus is that some very nice person will vote for that piece in the people’s choice.

“There are such a variety of mediums that have been used in this show today.” X

LOTTE GOOD: Artist Tony Pridham described his charcoal drawing of pooch Carlotta as being hard as the subject would not pose for long. Pridham (left) is pictured with art judge Richard Watson and Harry & Clare Friday Foundation chairperson Christine Friday.

NEW WORKS: Using a different medium and style from his usual ‘birds’, Tony Pridham was awarded the Harry & Clare Friday Foundation award with his charcoal drawing of ‘Carlotta - The Floozy’.

WELCOME: President of the Mansfield Hospital Auxiliary, Val Doyle, welcomed all to the 44th annual Art Show.

ENJOYING ART: Great supporters of the annual art show are (from left) Dr Will Twycross, Margie Twycross and Member for Eildon, Cindy McLeish.

OPENING HONOR: Mansfield’s local art teacher and Arts Council executive member, Liz Bannister, had the pleasure of officially opening the art show.

WELCOME RETURN: Former Mansfield resident and prize winning artist Anton Costantino returned for this year’s art show proudly displaying his minor award winning piece ‘Black Coffee’.

The second major award, sponsored by the Harry & Clare Friday Foundation, went to local artist, Tony Pridham with his piece titled ‘Carlotta - The Floozy’, a charcoal drawing of his precious dog.

Watson said this is a very prestigious award and it was a privilege to award it to an outstanding artist.

“The exquisite and precise work of this artist, probably well known to all of us, and is known Australia-wide and internationally, will show you why,” he said.

Eight highly commended locally sponsored additional prizes were awarded this year as well, with Mr Watson saying it was extremely hard to choose which works

of art to award these prizes as all 182 pieces exhibited this year were of a very high standard.

The eight minor prizes were awarded to: Mansfield Hunting & Fishing: by Patricia Fitzgerald - ‘Mouse’ (44) Ink Book Shop: by Wendy Webster - ‘Denim’ (184) Kyalan Mechanics: by Anton Costantino - Black Coffee (26) Mansfield Betta Electrics: by Vanessa Kelly - The Farm (87) Mansfield Veterinary Clinic: by Cherry Manders Still Life No. 2 (96) Workshop Automotive: by Glenn Hoyle - Wet Pebbles (76) Mansfield Optical: by Lisa O’Dwyer - Thornberry’s

Wanderings (174) High Country Tree Services: by Jenny Gibney High Country Winter (48) An extra award was made by the Packers - the auxiliary members who have helped in the hanging of the paintings, and went to Vanessa Kelly for her work entitled ‘Coast’.

Officially opening the art show was accomplished artist and local art teacher, Liz Bannister.

Ms Bannister outlined her own love of art and her career saying, “As a teacher I continued to impart my love of art to my students by encouraging them to participate in the practice with a sense of inquiry and confidence.”

“Whether it be drawing,

printmaking, painting, photography, ceramics, glassware or sculpture, artists have celebrated their response to sources of inspiration,” Ms Bannister said.

“They have observed and appreciated, then celebrated in a visual medium of their choice, the vehicle that best allows them to express themselves.”

On declaring the exhibition open, Ms Bannister congratulated all artists involved in the exhibition and the Hospital Auxiliary for facilitating the display of the wealth of creativity on show this year.

Guests and visitors to the opening night of the exhibition were welcomed by auxiliary president Val Doyle

who also thanked all sponsors for their support.

Visitors to the exhibition were asked to vote for their favourite artwork, with a prize sponsored by Made In Mansfield.

Ms Doyle made special mention of local artist Selina Wilmott who first started entering the art show at the age of 12 and 14 years later was still exhibiting.

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Mansfield, current president Kathy Croughan, said they were privileged to have been associated with the exhibition since 1987, presenting the first prizes awarded to dual winners, Faye DePasquale and Mark Stoney.

Long weekend frivolities and fires LAST week the Jamieson CFA were alerted to a fire above Jamieson, a well frequented area near the Brosnans’ Track, used by bike riders and 4WD vehicles, in more clement conditions.

A vehicle with four chaps aboard became bogged.

Following efforts to move the car it caught alight.

The track conditions were so extreme the CFA tanker could not be used.

A Jamieson CFA crew of Chris Badrock Captain, Steve Garito and Grant McRostie drove the SCV to within 50 metres of the fire.

Local police officer George Crawford was at the scene.

The CFA team from Goughs Bay had also answered the call for assistance.

Working together to extinguish the blaze, the Goughs Bay team had their Ultra-Light vehicle, loaded with sufficient water to complete the job.

The vehicle was completely burned-out but luckily there were no injuries.

It serves as a timely warning to drivers to plan their trip ahead with the local Vic Roads, police and SES all well informed as to local conditions.

Cup fever was well and

JAMIESON ON THE LINE with Carmel Dixon

truly in vogue last week in Jamieson.

Cup Eve, the Courthouse Hotel hosted the annual Melbourne Cup Calcutta.

A very large crowd attended the evening of fun and future hopes.

Many visitors enjoyed Cup Day at the Courthouse Hotel, barracking for their chosen horses.

Jamieson home the ‘Folly’ entertained friends from Melbourne and locally, to a sumptuous afternoon with delicious goodies and some sparkles, to set the scene.

The race was watched.

The fashions were attractive.

The afternoon was followed by a fabulous evening BBQ with a roaring log fire.

Keeping in the spirit of Oaks Day, 50 Jamieson and visiting ladies - all beautifully dressed with accompanying head wear - attended Ladies Day at the Jamieson Brewery and Grill.

The day was enjoyed with beautiful finger food presented all afternoon.

Each lady was greeted with

ALL FROCKED UP: Ladies Day at the Jamieson Brewery, Fashions on the Field winners were local residents Wendy Blackledge and Helen Stock. a complimentary glass of sparkles on arrival.

It was a very happy occasion with many guests from Mac’s Cove and Mansfield present.

On Sunday, six members of Jamieson CFA attended an all-day first aid refresher

course in Mansfield, this is a mandatory course for all members of the brigade.

It is an extraordinary number of hours these volunteers give up to be prepared to care for the local community.

They are most appreciated.

Last Sunday Saint Peter’s Anglican Church community in Jamieson, hosted a visit from Bishop Clarence Bester and his wife Michelle.

The service was well attended, with visitors from Mansfield and Alexandra attending.

RURAL NEWS

Gerald Egan’s life in the saddle

By EMMA OLIVER TICKETS are still available for Mansfield Autism’s fundraising movie night, with Ride like a Girl scheduled to grace the big screen with master trainer and Mansfield local Gerald Egan on the billing as guest speaker.

Gerald will share his insights into the making of an elite jockey, as well as a lifetime of experience as a world class and local horseman.

A race horse trainer since the tender age of 21, Gerald has taken out the Mansfield Cup a grand total of 15 times and also credits the area as a good recruiting and training ground for apprentices.

“They’re away from distractions and there’s no rush,” he said.

“They really get to appreciate how their horse is travelling and behaving in this sort of environment.

“It’s all about the horse.”

Such an ethos, has contributed to the success of world-class jockeys Jye McNeil who has taken out the Melbourne Cup, and Luke Nolen who has not only won the Cox Plate but rode the record-smashing Black Caviar to numerous victories.

Both jockeys, along with Michael Pritchard who took out the Champagne Stakes, two-time winner of the Caulfield Cup Nick Hall, winner of the VRC Derby Lachie King, and Gerald’s own nephew and local Billy Egan who has won the Mooney Valley Vase, all flourished under Gerald’s tutelage and expert guidance.

MAKING HISTORY: Gerald Egan with stock horse Smoke lighting the cauldron in Benalla as part of the Olympic torch relay in 2000.

GOLD TROPHY: World-class jockey Jye McNeil with Pam McNeil and trainer Gerald Egan.

Gerald’s own riding skills are also of great repute, having won the Great Mountain Race at Sheepyard Flat an impressive total of three times.

Widely regarded as one of the toughest horse races, the race became known colloquially as the Melbourne Cup of the Bush.

As a young man, Gerald also forged a career in the movie industry; his skill as a horseman and trainer, landing him the role of Tom Burlinson’s stunt rider in the Man from Snowy River.

The famous jump scene in the film is Gerald.

The Lighthorseman, Phar Lap, Quiggly Down Under, Robbery Under Arms, and a raft of other titles all followed, with Gerald even diversifying into training cows for series of REV milk commercials.

When the torch came through on the way to Sydney for the Olympics in 2000, it was Gerald on horse Smoke that lit the overnight cauldron in Benalla.

Smoke, a stock horse, also

had a fair share of accolades under the saddle.

Used as a double for the black stallion in the Man from Snowy River, Smoke was ridden by Tom Burlinson in Snowy 2.

Smoke also went on to perform with Gerald at numerous events, including performances in the snow at Mt Buller, demonstrating the strong and trusting bond between the two.

Gerald will be speaking at the Mansfield Autism movie fundraiser at the Mansfield Armchair Cinema on Tuesday November 15.

Nibbles will be provided, and drinks available at bar prices.

Tickets are available at https://mansfieldrideathon.org.au/ movienight

Following the service the attendees enjoyed luncheon at the Jamieson Café.

Last Sunday afternoon a very large crowd of visitors and local residents enjoyed superb weather at the Jamieson Brewery and Grill, the blues band Frozen Blues played and entertained a large audience.

Attendees came from far and wide to see the band.

While house boats brought guests, mooring at the Brewery riverside.

The staff were kept busy with many clients enjoying the fabulous weather, food and music.

Next Friday Remembrance Day service will be conducted at Matthews Reserve in Jamieson.

The attendees are asked to arrive at 10:45am.

Students from Jamieson Primary school will take part in the service.

A wreath will be laid at the Memorial, in remembrance of the ‘Rats of Tobruk’ by the President of the ‘Rats of Tobruk’ Association, Bruce Bingham.

Father George Feliciouz will celebrate Mass at Saint John the Apostle Church in Jamieson on Sunday November 13 at 11am.

Beechworth shooting investigation ongoing POLICE believe two men involved in a fatal shooting at a Beechworth property last week were known to each other, with firearms subsequently located at a Buckland Gap Road residence.

A 60-year-old Beechworth man suffered fatal injuries on Thursday evening, with police called to the property around 8:45pm amid reports a man had been injured and there had been a shooting at the property.

Police located the man’s body at the front of the home, before identifying an injured man, understood to be the owner of the property, in a rear shed.

The latter, also believed to be in his 60s, was airlifted to hospital with suspected gunshot wounds.

Homicide and Major Crime Scene Unit detectives undertook sweeping investigations throughout Beechworth late last week, including at a Loch Street address believed to be linked to the deceased man.

A police spokesperson said whilst a search of the crime scene remains ongoing, a number of firearms have been located at the property which will now be subject to forensic testing.

“Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting but do believe that parties were known to each other,” the spokesperson said.

What’s On Regular Events

Rain fails to dampen weekend plans

By LYNN ELDER DESPITE event cancellations across the High Country Festival calendar, numerous events still went ahead with organisers refusing to let the threat of rain dampen their weekend plans.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the Mansfield Shire Council was forced by the wet weather to dramatically reduce the scope of festival events which had been highly anticipated by the community and staff after two years of COVID restrictions.

Many of the High Country Festival events were cancelled, including the Friday night opening festival, FReeZA concert, Fireworks, Breakfast on the Lawn and the Emergency Services Torchlight Parade, the Grand Parade and the new Amped Up! The Ampitheatre Sound Sessions were also deemed too unsafe to go ahead.

Some of the events were held in a reduced format.

“The ever popular Bush Market, for example, could not be held on the median strip and council worked with organisers and made every effort to find an alternative location,” said Cr Tehan.

Cr Tehan said council and the Bush Market committee were able to pull together the ‘Mansfield Mini Market’ for local stallholders on Saturday which was held in the Highett St Sporting Complex.

The cancellations were a huge blow to the events team.

“We are already considering how

we take advantage of future opportunities for summer season events,” said Cr Tehan.

For other community groups and organisations Saturday proved to be a busy day with a constant stream of visitors.

The secretary of the Mansfield Friends of the Library, Deb Westphalen, said the annual book sale in the meeting room at the rear of the library was fantastic although there was initially concerns it would not do very with all the festival cancellations.

“But from the moment we opened the doors it was non-stop and people were queuing outside before we even opened the doors,” said Mrs Westphalen.

She said the book sale raised $740 with 100 per cent of the profits going back into the library for the benefit of the community.

The Friends of the Library wanted to say a big thank you to the Mansfield community and visitors for their generous support.

Meanwhile, the CWA Hall in the main street was abuzz with the Makers Market, which showcased local crafts, cakes and jams for sale.

The rain held off for most of Saturday and lots of people took advantage of the activities that were still happening.

The CFA held it’s open day in conjunction with the local SES with giveaways and important community information shared.

Children enjoyed the chance to climb into the fire truck and the SES rescue boat.

Further down Highett St, St John’s Anglican Church parishioners were kept flat out baking and serving Devonshire teas in the hall.

Sales of books and plants proved to be strong among visitors too.

While the “Mini Bush Market” was limited to a small number of stallholders, it did attract a passing crowd that dropped into the Sporting Complex.

Liam Wilson and his youth dance group which is part of the Mandala Project supported by the Mansfield Shire, provided entertainment for shoppers with their energetic dance routine.

Those interested in artistic pursuits were well catered for with the annual Mansfield Art Show and MOST (Mansfield Open Studio Trail) running over the weekend.

Visitors to the Mansfield Arts Collective Studios (MACS) in Crosbys Lane could make a bid on the artworks featured in the annual Mansfield Arts Council’s Postcards Exhibition.

Mansfield Arts Council President, Gil Belle said, “The final total for the bidding was $1500 with 50 per cent going to the artists and the rest to the arts council.”

Gil said it was a wonderful opportunity for the 35 artists of all ages and abilities to put their artwork out there.

“The highest bid was $210 for the ‘Man From Snowy River’ piece by a grade five girl,” she said.

Gil also thanked local artists Jane Jordan and Felicity Hayward for setting up the Postcards display at MACS.

One at a time on Chapel Hill Road

By DAVID JAGGER

VICTORIOUS RIDE: An ‘aero’ Craig Wilson on his way to victory.

PHOTO: Tony Copland.

WITH no Dirt Crits or Dirt Critters due to a holiday for a horse race, all the emphasis this week for the Mansfield Mt Buller Cycle Club (MMBCC) turned to the Individual Time Trial on Thursday evening.

The day was overcast and a bit gloomy but all competitors were thankful that the rain had finally taken a break.

The 14km time trial along Chapel Hill road was nice and clean from all the rain and there was only a slight breeze.

Micala Jacobs was supposed to be the first down the road but due to navigational difficulties (going to the wrong starting location) she and her son Ryder had to wait until the end of the start list.

Steve Curnow was the first out of the blocks and was never seriously challenged from the next two riders of David Jagger and John Eisner.

Craig Wilson came fitted out in his time trial gear and was out to make an impression.

Ian Conrick lost sight of Wilson but was able to hold off Allan Gerrans as he dropped a chain searching for an elusive easier gear.

Janine Appleton tried to catch Gerrans but after 27 minutes of racing was a few seconds off.

Darren Bakker, Steve Duke and Dave Moore all came in breathless having given it their all and proving that the handicapper doesn’t have any favourites.

Ruby Dobson was out to have a crack at her first road race in years and due to last

week’s cancellation, her first outing was a short race (for her) and the third fastest time with Steve Brown just a few seconds quicker.

The race belonged to Andrew Garrett comfortably keeping the local riders in check taking out fastest time.

The overall handicap placings went to Craig Wilson, David Jagger and Ryder Chadd, proving that each week you never know who will have a good day and it is always worth racing.

Thanks to the officials, helpers and commissaire for making the race possible.

This Thursday is the Alain Guerin Memorial Handicap, starting at the Botanic Park.

This is one of the club’s highlights of the summer; hopefully the weather will play nicely this time.

Rain eases for night tennis and juniors kick off ROUND 4 RESULTS TUESDAY’S Cup Day holiday made life simple for the Mansfield Tennis Association’s Tuesday night players with no wet track nor the dreaded weather decision having to be made.

Wednesday:

By JULIE ALDOUS With eyes on the rain radar and the threat that tennis would once again be cancelled, players received a cheery message from David Mims that games were on, but we should don warm clothes to face the forecast of cold temperatures.

And so, we did, with few brave enough to state aloud what most had been thinking - that the call could have gone either way.

Instead of tennis under Mansfield’s beautiful, indigo, night skies, there was beauty in the silver lights reflecting off misty rain.

It was a ‘soft’ evening more familiar to Aoidh Doyle, back for his first game of the season and, with no wind, the playing conditions were pretty good except for increasingly heavy balls which some used as an excuse for misjudging their shots.

In admiration we watched one of our more senior players, Doug Galbraith, be the first to divest himself of his coat, shaming younger players who still clung to warm jackets as the mizzle settled in for the evening.

In a solid win over Akubra, Stetson pulled out the big guns with strong fill-in, Jason Blake, leading the posse and won 4 sets to 2; 24 games to 30.

He was ably supported by team members Dustin Ersvaer, Lisa Morgan, and Helen Knight from bye team Trilby.

Kim Marsden had the best result for Akubra, winning

MTA warmly welcomed back returning son Taylor Chapman who had travelled from Torquay to be a strong fill-in for Crash Helmet and delivered the talent we remember.

With regular team members, Chris Hewlett, Matt Lowe and Steph Herridge, the team won all sets convincingly and two games to 36 against Bowler.

This in-form team has put others on notice; they mean business.

As the last balls were played, rain set in, and all players were under shelter except for Nick Ferguson/ Simon Young who were up against David Mims/Doug Galbraith who were up 5-4 and on set point.

But it was no done deal for, despite injury, Ferguson and Young fought back to level the scores.

The skies opened and in heavy rain the match was declared a draw at 1-1 in the tie-break.

In the end it made no difference as Fedora claimed a convincing win over Sombreros 4.5 sets to 1.5, 33 games to 22, with Ferguson winning all his matches and Suzie Wellborne, Jane Swinburne and fill-in Young all playing strongly.

Thursday:

By RHONDA CARPENTER Matrix teammates, Matt Johnstone and Fiona Lindsay met across the net when they stepped into the vacant number one spots for Helz Bells and Calamari.

JUNIORS KICK OFF: Section 3 boys playing on Saturday included (from left) Max O’Brien, Archie Dunn, Harry Elliott and Oscar Pigdon.

Helz Bells’ Rachel Parsons and Matt Johnstone controlled play early and raced to a handy lead against Rhonda Carpenter and Lindsay in a hard-hitting highquality set.

At 5-1 down Calamari found rhythm and clawed back games to level the scores.

Momentum was with them, many set points saved, and the pair took the tiebreak 7-4 in a classic comeback.

Johnstone and Ben Elliott made their opening set much easier against Steve Earp and Brendan Purcell defeating them 6-3 with plenty of time to watch the adjacent hit out.

Johnstone and Purcell won their partnership 6-3, while Elliott and Carpenter took theirs 6-2.

Earp and Johnstone won 6-4 while Elliott and Carpenter win 6-3. Scores were added and Calamari had edged out Helz Bells 4/32 to 2/25.

Guys and Gals’ Guy Evans and Bianna Kelly began their first partnership with a 6-3 win against Crocodiles’ Erich Schneider and Carol Watts.

Liza Karras and Bob Carpenter came from the depths against Andrew Crockett and Cathy Johnstone to overcome them in a tiebreak.

Carpenter’s brilliant sideline shots and Kelly’s boisterous net play were not enough to beat Watts and Johnstone in a close set.

Final pairs were keen to get off the court on a cold night, with Evans and Karras taking their match 6-0 against Schneider and Crocket.

Guys and Gals defeated Crocodiles 4/31 to 2/21.

Everyone enjoyed lengthy rallies, loud laughs, and memorable moments like when the ball dribbled over the net for a winner.

Praise for fine shot making abounded across the net was a highlight of the night.

Junior tennis

By JO O’BRIEN Twenty-five juniors have joined in the junior competition with new players continuing to come along now that the sun begins to shine.

Good numbers again last Saturday and newcomers are always welcome. Section 1 players can self-umpire and the others are learning how.

Hot Shots with coach Danny Cahill on the blue court was also well attended.

Golfers return to recovering course

By LAURIE HARCUS NO, no, no.

No more talking about the weather.

The course is drying out and good signs for the future and getting our schedule back on track.

A little retraction for last week’s report which I had many of our club stalwarts and senior citizens going to Swan Hill on a golfing trip when it was actually Rich River at Echuca.

And by the way the information on the destination was given to me on King Island (read last weeks report) by a little ‘birdie’.

Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup Day - there was no competition - a few hardy souls played while many of us members enjoyed the big race within the warmth of the clubhouse.

Thursday’s Stableford - 20 players One division.

1st - Justin Odd, 41 pts (h/c 22) 2nd - Jim Sullivan, 37 pts (h/c 20) 3rd - Kyle Bridgeman, 36 pts (h/c 2) Well done to Justin Odd, a very likeable young man who is very sporadic with the time that he can play golf.

When he does, watch out.

Well over handicapped, he will win more before he has

to play to a likely low teen’s handicap.

Jim Sullivan, one of the ‘Elvins St’ gang, has been taking home enough recently to offset the weekly food bill.

Kyle Bridgeman, always in the news for his golfing prowess, again played to his very low handicap; a handicap that I believe will be scratch either before the end this year or at least the end of January.

A nice way to start the upcoming New Year.

Bridgeman also took home two NTP’s.

Honourable mentions go to Don Clutterbuck, John Koraus, Geoff Brown and Tom Swan.

Saturday’s Stableford - 24 players One division: 1st - Mark Jones, 39 pts C/B (h/c 1) 2nd - James Octigan, 39 pts (h/c 16) 3rd - Chris Kerr, 37 pts C/B (h/c 19) A very good round by Mark Jones, one of the clubs’ stars, and an open champion.

He played to plus two.

For the non-golfing world he had to attain two birdies on the easiest holes before he could start scoring on them.

This means he played to two under the card.

Young James Octigan was pipped by Mark Jones on the back nine which is used to separate tied scores, a very

impressive round playing to 12 h/c.

Octigan, like many of our young guns, are ‘time’ poor whilst working, raising families and studying etc which makes their efforts even more significant.

Good job Chris Kerr, another regular visitor to dais, continuing on from his team match-winning performance in this year’s North East handicap pennant victory.

It appears course superintendent Tony Cooksey is pleased with the way the course is recovering and will allow carts from Monday, at least until the next deluge.

Speaking of our wonderful ground staff their numbers were increased by nine on Friday.

Volunteers turned out for three hours to help clean up the debris caused by one of our giant redgums on the course; it decided to part from its earthly footings in last week’s wet and was approximately 400-years-old and weighed about 100 tonnes.

Ironically this very same tree was one that young Lily, one of our apprentices, chose to change the shape of one of the gator’s in a recent storm.

One may say that she makes a big impact for one who is so slight in stature, definitely not slight in her work ethics, a dynamo.

FALLEN: This 400-year-old tree became a victim of last week’s wet weather at the Mansfield Golf Course.

Cricketers finally get a hit

By MARK O’LOUGHLAN

forced to take a young and inexperienced side to this match.

The team included three A grade debutants and a further three playing just their second A grade game, to face a very strong Yarrawonga outfit.

Losing the toss and being sent in to bat on a very green wicket was not an ideal way to start the season.

But the message from the captain was to be patient, protect your wicket, bat out the overs and see what happens.

Delatite were able to do just that, with Will Christopher play-

Yarrawonga-Mulwala 3/182 defeat Delatite 8/90 FINALLY, after several weeks of miserable weather and wet grounds, the Wangaratta District Cricket Association (WDCA) season got going.

The Delatite Cricket Club team headed to Yarrawonga for the opening one-day game.

With the uncertainty surrounding the season, difficulties around being able to train, and key player unavailabilities, Delatite were

ing a very mature innings to hold things together in the middle order with 24 runs.

Trent Berry in his debut contributed a solid 15 runs and formed a nice little partnership with another debutant, Adam Storer, at the end to bring the total to 8/90 off our 40 overs.

Not a huge score, but definitely something to bowl at.

Yarrawonga’s innings got off to a steady start, being aided by a few wides from the Delatite bowlers, and then started to accelerate.

The Yarra opening partnership was finally broken by Mick Bur-

rows, sadly after they had passed our score.

Matt Stevenson chimed in with two late wickets as Yarra opening bat Matt Casey powered his way to a commanding century.

Even though the score was fairly lop-sided, there were a lot of small wins along the way for Delatite, particularly with the performance of the young players and the never give up attitude out in the field.

Thanks to Yarrawonga-Mulwala CC for their hospitality, providing a delicious meal, and a few drinks for our players after the game.

Mansfield athletes compete at King Valley Challenge SATURDAY’S King Valley Challenge, organised by Mansfield race director, Liam Delany, saw many local athletes taking part.

The event was a great success according to Delany given the uncertainty in the lead up with the relentless rain and flooding.

Delany said he is proud of the event’s 13 consecutive years running and thanked local and interstate supporters who are keen to see this event grow.

“Both COVID and flooding have really affected peoples’ ability to train and compete; joining your local club is the best way to connect with other people and get advice on what to do to improve,” Delany said.

“The event caters for all abilities and is designed to inspire people to train and improve their health and fitness with some adventure on one of the country’s most picturesque courses.

“Mansfield Athletics star Charlie Watts took out the tough 6k run which turns at the other end of the lake; unfortunately no girls entered which we hope to improve on next year,” Delany announced.

KIDS RUN: Junior 3k runners were mostly made up of competitors from Mansfield and enjoyed the day. INSET: WINNING GIRLS: On the podium following the King Valley Challenge were (from left) Skye Meek, Matilda Stevenson and Emma Flower.

Pullar (paddler) and Amy Jewson (cyclist) combined to win the female teams category.

The 14km run was the first leg of the multi-sport challenge, followed by a 12km kayak on Lake William Hovell, then 39km road ride from the lake up to Powers Lookout road and then the final 3.6km run into Powers Lookout.

Wangaratta Councillor Harry Bussell started the 3k, 6k and 14k runners at 9am from Lake William Hovell.

For the first time in 13 years the run course was changed due to Evans creek flowing too big

and even turning the 4WD track into a creek for 200m.

The long run course was shortened from 15km to 14km but had more hill climbing (on the Evans creek track) so times were similar to previous years; some people enjoyed the change, some didn’t.

The 3k junior runners ran to Slaters Creek and back and all got a pineapple as their trophy.

Thanks to Pizzini Wines $2000 cash sponsorship the event attracted some of the nation’s best multi-sport athletes with Matilda Stevenson (Canberra)

and Robbie Hunt (Hobart) winning the run leg and then recording the fastest kayak legs and holding off the strong cyclists to take the solo victories. Albury’s Emma Flower and Mansfield’s Skye Meek rounded out the women’s podium.

Beechworth’s Tim Boote nearly caught Hunt with fastest bike split of the day but had to settle for second and Newcastle’s Nathan Stewart who also finished strong to just pass Myrtleford’s Robbie Savage for a spot on the podium and some much needed petrol money.

Dale to don the blue and gold THE Mansfield Eagles have beaten out Myrtleford’s Alpine Saints to sign star midfielder Lachie Dale for next season.

Dale, who’s older brother Frazer plays for Mansfield, reportedly signed on the dotted line last week, committing to don the blue and gold for 2023.

Senior Coach Chad Owens said they were over the moon to have secured the 25 year old gun, who last season played with North Hobart in the Tasmanian state league.

“He’s a very good player and we’re super excited about him joining the team,” said Owens.

“He’s a high quality, elite runner,

physical with good skills, and helps to add to our running game.

“Having Lachie will allow us to play Jimmy Herridge as more of a small forward, which is good for him.”

In 2019 Dale kicked 59 goals to take home the O&M League’s leading goal kicker award, which Owens remarked was a big deal for a small forward.

The Alpine Saints had hoped to re-sign the speedster and his brother this coming season.

Dale played for Myrtleford as a junior, but he’s also played alongside current Eagles ruckman Tom McDonagh.

“We would’ve loved Lachie to come back, and Frazer in particular, and we know Tom (McDonagh) is down there at Mansfield,” said Myrtleford coach Craig Millar.

“Lachie was really professional in his communication with us and while we were disappointed

he wanted to play at Mansfield we completely understand his reasons.

“We wish him all the best and we look forward to getting both him and Frazer and potentially Tom back at some point but, unfortunately for us, at this stage it wasn’t the right timing for Lachie and Frazer made it pretty clear he wanted to play football with Lachie.”

The confluence of circumstances and the Dale family business having operations in the area ultimately lined up in the Eagles favour.

“Our senior players are certainly excited because quality players like Lachie are hard to attract,” said Owens.

“So we’ve been really lucky there.

“He’ll come over in the next couple of weeks, ready to start our preseason which begins on November 21.”

The Eagles, after a stellar 2022 which saw them play a prelim final, are still on the lookout for one more mid fielder at this stage, and will share further signings as they’re announced.
