AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW/S THIS photo was taken

by Stuart Gray in Howes Creek Road last Tuesday afternoon - the same time it was announced Mansfield had received its own pot of gold worth $60,000,000.

60 million dollars LAST week Upper House MP for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes made a surprise visit to Mansfield, but the real surprise was what she brought with her - a shock announcement of funding for the shire’s aged care services in the vicinity of $60 million.

“The Mansfield community has been calling for an upgrade of the town’s aged care facilities and I’m delighted to say that, with

this announcement, (we) are delivering,” Ms Symes declared at the Bindaree Retirement Centre.

“This is a major upgrade which will benefit dozens of residents and give peace of mind to families in and

around Mansfield that their loved ones have the best living conditions possible.”

The project will mean a brand new Buckland House replacing the existing and ageing 30-bed facility.

The new structure will go next door to the Bindaree Retirement Centre in Highett Street on land already owned by Mansfield District Hospital.

Once the all new Buckland has been built, the 42 bed Bindaree will also receive a complete refurbish itself.

“That’s not only 72 new beds, but 72 separate rooms,” said Ms Symes.

“It will be a bigger, better and safer home for residents.”

Indeed, the plans state residents will be

accommodated in single bedrooms with a private ensuite, in settings that “promote dignity, privacy and independence” - an environment that is dementia friendly and better suited to supporting mental health and the complex care needs of older locals.

The design also includes using ‘small households’

with their own dedicated kitchen, dining, lounge and break-out sitting areas.

The build is expected to be completed in 2025.

Ms Symes said it was all part of the spotlight on health in this year’s budget and that it will no doubt be the biggest development the area will see for a long time.

Council adopts Resource Recovery Centre Masterplan AT its meeting on April 19, Mansfield Shire Council adopted the Mansfield Resource Recovery Centre (MRRC) Masterplan.

The MRRC services residents and businesses across Mansfield Shire, and the new Masterplan outlines the works required to upgrade the site to maximise re-

cycling and resource recovery, and to minimise waste going to landfill.

The council said the plan has been developed in a manner that considers site access and the risk to the environment of noise, odour, run off to stormwater, storage of hazardous materials, separation of com-

bustible recyclables and waste management.

Mayor James Tehan said early consideration of site accessibility and mitigation of the identified risks through design (where practicable) is aimed to ensure council meets its obligations to manage risk at the site, and can operate efficiently.

“Having a plan of what we need to do at the MRRC is the first step to improving the site and the customer experience, and will help with reducing our waste to landfill, which is our main goal,” said Cr Tehan.

A copy of the Masterplan is available to view on council’s website.

Jess is uniting hope for pancreatic cancer

By JESS FEARON-BROWN IN May 2019, my life changed forever when my mum, Karen, was unexpectedly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Over a short period of time, we had noticed that her skin and the whites of her eyes were starting to go yellow.

I had taken her to High Tea for Mother’s Day, and she was unable to drink her champagne - she just didn’t feel like it and I knew something was wrong.

Mum then spoke with local doctors and they advised her that she should go to the Wangaratta hospital to get checked out properly.

The doctors initially thought that she had stones that were causing a blockage, but after scans our world came crashing down

when they told us that there was a mass on Mum’s pancreas.

Mum underwent countless rounds of chemo which did seem to work in the beginning but also made her terribly sick.

She was booked in to have an operation in November 2019 to remove the head of her pancreas and other smaller organs to get rid of the cancer, but she was unable to have this operation due to it spreading and chemo was now no longer an option.

My beautiful Mum passed away on June 5, 2020.

In her honour, I have organised a 5km and 10km walk in Mansfield, which will be on Mum’s two-year anniversary, to raise money for the Pancare Foundation.

Pancare is an organisation

raising awareness and funds for upper gastrointestinal cancers (such as pancreatic, liver, stomach, biliary and oesophageal cancers).

My goal is to raise funds for research into early detection as this is key for survival and to raise awareness for this very common and deadly disease.

If you know someone who has been through this, please come along and let’s Unite for Hope for your loved one.

Pancare Unite for Hope: When: Sunday, June 5; Time: Check in from 9am - walk starts 10am; Where: Mansfield Botanic Park; Cost: Adult 18+ $20, Child 5-17 $10, Juniors <5 free.

In the league of extraordinary locations Mansfield in the realms of a real estate boom

By EMMA OLIVER

NUMEROUS reports have firmly established Mansfield real estate as a hot commodity not only in Victoria but also on a national scale.

It confirms what many locals already know, as the rising price of housing and renting pushes many out of the housing market.

House prices have risen a staggering 37.4 per cent in the shire since March of 2021, with the median house price of $535,000 increasing to $735,000 by March 2022.

It places Mansfield Shire third in regional Victoria for annual price rises, with Loddon and Warrnambool taking out the first and second places respectively in the 20 strong list.

Nationally, Mansfield placed tenth on a list of 12 hotspots where house prices have doubled over the past five years.

Mansfield’s real estate has gone up by 103 per cent, followed by Hepburn Shire at 100.6 per cent.

Victoria’s Alpine Shire, however, topped the list experiencing an increase of 126.4 per cent over the five year period, even surpassing seachange favourites like Noosa and Byron, McGrath principal Kate McDougall has been in the industry for over eight years and has watched the local market explode, driven primarily by tourism.

“Over the last two years the pandemic has also caused many to re-evaluate,” Kate said.

“The trend has been towards nicer houses and better cars, and investing in things

like caravans and swimming pools.

“People are looking to change and improve their lifestyle on a domestic front, and all the related industries have been under pressure from the increased demand.”

Kate said the local market is similar to that of Bright where there has been an emerging pattern of converting rentals into airbnbs.

“It’s lucrative for investors, but it does come at the cost of affordable living,” Kate said.

Kate has found though that with the high prices that local properties are currently commanding, locals who choose to sell are benefiting.

“Very few move away as it’s such a wonderful place to live,” she said.

“So they’re staying and upgrading.”

McGrath Mansfield specialise in lifestyle properties, and Kate has found that about 80 per cent of the real estate’s clients are from the Mornington Peninsula.

“They are finding the coast is too busy and congested, and love what Mansfield has to offer,” she said.

“Mansfield is busy but it’s spread out.

“There are the lakes and the rivers.

“There’s mountain bike riding at Mt Buller and horse riding at Mt Stirling and fishing on the Jamieson.

“The areas that we play in are so vast, and that becomes a significant part of the attraction to the region.

“It’s the quality of life, and one of the biggest trends that has emerged over the last five years is the popularity of

lifestyle properties, with buyers finding the opportunity to farm - even on a hobby farm scale - very enticing.”

It means that interest is strong whenever a property is listed, with some properties even selling sight unseen during the more recent lockdowns.

The recent listing of a Mt Buller Road property is testament to the region’s popularity, in a market that doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

With a price expectation around the $16 million mark, the 271 hectare property with half a kilometre of Delatite River frontage is set to break local records by a staggering $10 million, surpassing the recent sale of another Merrijig property, Mt Skene Estate.

The Mt Buller Road property has garnered strong media interest propelling it Australia-wide, and Kate has already fielded significant interest in the estate, with McGrath currently taking expressions of interest.

“It’s an extraordinary property,” said Kate “It’s the largest landholding before you hit the national park.

“You need to see it.

“It’s absolutely spectacular.

“I’m just incredibly grateful that the owners entrusted me with the opportunity to showcase this unique and glorious High Country estate.

“We have so many incredible places in the shire, it’s easy to see why so many people want to make Mansfield their home.”

Hospital to provide home care COUNCIL has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement that Mansfield District Hospital will become the main provider of home and community care services.

Prior to council’s decision last year to cease providing direct home and community care services after June 30, 2022 council consulted broadly to understand the community’s needs around aged care.

The community’s key concern was that a provider of home and community care services should be local, have demonstrated capacity and be trusted and accessible.

Mansfield Shire mayor James Tehan said ouncil was delighted that Mansfield District Hospital had been approved as the main provider.

“These are vital services for our community and it’s of the utmost importance that the main provider of these services meets the community’s expectations for quality, is trusted and accessible,” he said.

“We’re confident that the hospital is well placed to meet these needs.

“The hospital has a great track record.

“It provides a continuum of

services to our community and is well equipped to provide the full suite of home and community care services.

“That’s why we have worked closely with them in support of their application to become the main provider of these services for our community.”

Council is currently the main provider of home and community care services in Mansfield Shire.

The service agreement, which ends on June 30, includes services such as home care, personal care, home maintenance, planned activities groups, car-

er’s respite, Meals on Wheels and volunteer transport.

“With this confidence, council will continue to work with the hospital over the coming months to ensure a seamless handover for our clients,” said Cr Tehan.

“Council will continue to advocate and plan to ensure the needs of older people in our community are met.”

Community members with questions about the change are encouraged to contact council directly on (03) 5775 8555 or email council@mansfield.vic. gov.au.

Ambulance auxiliary calls it a day MANSFIELD’S Ambulance auxiliary is winding up after 22 years of support and fundraising for our local ambulance service.

Re-established in 2000 largely due to the efforts of Joe Hutchison, the auxiliary was needed in order to help raise funds for much needed equipment.

In earlier days, nursing staff were initially approached and asked to play an active role, with many members such as Kate Adams, Jan Berry and Pat Webb assuming the role of ‘ambulance officer’, treating patients in the backs of ambulances as they were transported to hospitals in Melbourne.

After re-establishment, many members of the local community became involved with the auxiliary, enjoying a close association with the local ambulance service and conducting numerous fundraising activities, including:  Robbie Burns night;  variety evenings with food and music;  stalls in the Mansfield Bush Market selling homemade delicacies and craft;  annual Christmas raffles; and

FOND FAREWELL: Mansfield Auxiliary members alongside Ambulance Victoria staff celebrating their years of valued service at a farewell lunch last week.  film nights and the Armchair Cinema.

The auxiliary’s efforts have enabled the purchase of vital equipment for Mansfield’s ambulance service, including:  airways maintenance and resuscitation mannequins;  pulse oximeters x 2;  Garmin vehicle navigators x 4;  framing and laminating of maps;  numerous text books;  Philips monitor upgrade

with NIBP and pulse oximetry - a cost of over $32,000;  vacuum mattresses x 5;  vacuum splints x 5 sets;  ventilator;  video laryngoscope;  jackets x 2;  wilderness response equipment, including radios and defibrillators;  insulated boxes for warm fluid;  community defibrillators x 2;  marquee;

 fluid warmer; and  IV training arm.

The Mansfield Auxiliary members wish to extend a sincere thank you to the Mansfield community and business community for their tremendous support over the years.

And the community returns those thanks to the auxiliary for their hard work and dedication in supporting our ambulance service over the past couple of decades.

Huge funding announced for new aged care facilities in Mansfield Shire ■

From page 1 On top of the much needed boost to aged care, the project is also expected to create more than 180 construction jobs.

“But health is definitely the focus,” she confirmed.

“We are also talking 5000 new nurses and 90 new paramedics.

“There is also big funding for ‘hospitals at home’ to take the pressure off busy hospitals like Mansfield and COVID funding.”

Minister for Health Martin Foley said Victorians should get the care they need, close to home, no matter where they live.

“That’s why we’re investing in health services right across regional Victoria,” he said.

“We’re recruiting thousands more staff to support our healthcare workforce, investing in hospital expansions and boosting targeted local programs - all to make sure patients across the state get the most modern and effective treatments.

“The pandemic has shown

Mansfield hospital’s chair of the board Murray Beattie

was smiling from ear to ear upon hearing the news.

“And it’s not just beds, either,” said Mr Beattie.

“The simple vision can be misleading - there’s also other facilities that go along with it.”

Mansfield hospital chief executive officer Cameron Butler was similarly happy to see the funding announced and was already planning for the future of the existing Buckland House facility.

“In truth, I was disappointed when we missed out last year,” said Mr Butler.

“But this is such great news now.”

He said the main plan for the ‘old’ Buckland House is that it will be used for the

Record demand for new paramedics continues NEW paramedics are being fast-tracked and hitting the road as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to break records for ambulance demand.

Recently released data shows paramedics across Victoria were called to 93,234 Code 1 cases between January and March this year - breaking the record set last quarter and making this quarter the busiest in Ambulance Victoria’s history.

Ambulance Victoria Hume acting regional director Narelle Capp said this quarter of 2021/22 shows a slight improvement in ambulance response times to the most critical emergencies, including within the Mansfield Local Government Area (LGA), despite record demand.

In the quarter, 66.8 per cent of Code 1 cases were responded to within the state-wide average response time target of 15 minutes - a small improvement

of 0.3 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

The state-wide average response time to Code 1 cases was 15 minutes and 15 seconds.

In the Mansfield LGA performance is improving with paramedics attending 45.9 per cent of Code 1 patients within 15 minutes compared with 32.4 per cent the same time last year.

The average response time to Code 1 patients was 23 minutes and 53 seconds, an improvement from 28 minutes and 17 seconds in the same period last year.

Ms Capp said to help respond to this increasing demand, Ambulance Victoria recruited 700 paramedics in 2021 - its single largest annual recruitment ever.

“This recruitment drive continues with 174 paramedics already on board so far this year to help get more ambulances on the road and to patients quicker,” Ms Capp said.

meant the health system remained under significant and sustained stress.

“We remain very busy, attending around 1800 to 2000 cases a day across Victoria, and ask community members to help us by saving Triple Zero (000) for emergencies,” Ms Capp said.

“While ambulances are always provided to patients when required, about one in five calls to Triple Zero (000) do not need an emergency ambulance response.

“GPs and pharmacists can provide non-urgent care and Nurse-On-Call (1300 60 60 24) offers free medical advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, if your condition is not life-threatening.

“Some people hesitate to call 000 because they’re not sure if their situation is an emergency.

“If in doubt, always call Triple Zero (000) and the trained call taker will help and direct you.”

“And the Victorian Government’s $35 million boost early this year has fast-tracked the recruitment of another 120 paramedics, who will all start their inductions with Ambulance Victoria in May.” Ambulance Victoria acting chief executive officer Libby Murphy said ambulance responses in the last quarter were impacted by the Omicron variant which affected staff availability and increased demand as restrictions were lifted.

“As part of a health system and our broader society, paramedics are not immune to COVID-19, with a peak of more than 500 paramedics sick, symptomatic or isolating in January,” Ms Murphy said.

“Today, we still have about 150 staff in isolation most days.”

Ms Capp said the challenge of the Omicron variant and furloughed healthcare workers

Mansfield hospital’s master plan was submitted over two years ago, which included plans for the aged care facilities.

Local member for Eildon Cindy McLeish has been vocal about the need for new facilities in Mansfield for years and addressed the issue in a parliamentary sitting late last year, calling on the State Government to commit funding to invest in developing the hospital’s master plan.

“It is just as important to provide modern health and medical facilities in regional and rural areas as it is in metropolitan Melbourne,” Ms McLeish said at the time and was happy to hear that part of the plan has now found funding.

“The community, council and MPs alike have been advocating strongly for this, so it is great,” she said.

“I hope the money is delivered promptly, because the need is there now.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR You reap what you sow

THE 2022 election is happening at a volatile economic period.

The Commonwealth government’s budget projects gross debt will be around $963 billion at June 30, 2022.

This figure represents approximately a debt of $37,397 for every man, woman and child in Australia.

How do we repay this debt for our kids and grandkids?

It’s time to vote with your head not your heart and appoint candidates with sound intelligence to tackle this issue.

If the debt is not controlled (running a modest deficit) the government of the day may need to devote additional revenue, to meet interest expenses and this may lead to higher taxes, spending cuts or selling assets, leaving the job of servicing and repaying the debt to future generations.

Surely, the only way to reduce this debt is to have a stronger economy and reduced government spending.

The challenge for the government is to ensure the decreased spending doesn’t disproportionately affect lowerincome earners who spend a greater proportion of their

wages on fuel and groceries etc.

Before you vote, ask yourself does the candidate and party have the ability and policies to reduce the national debt.

Candidate policies should be scrutinised closely, many are just a wish list with no detailed planning how to achieve their goal.

We need to employ the best candidates, yes they work for us.

Canberra has too much dead wood due to our mistakes.

I am not a Trump supporter, but it’s time to ‘drain the swamp’ in Canberra.

It was reported in the Daily Mail (Feb 7, 2022) that each federal politician on average is costing Australian taxpayers $1 million (includes salary and expenses) yearly.

You have to be joking.

If my job performance was to the level of some MPs, I would be sacked.

Vote wisely: “you reap what you sow”.

Stewart Brennan, Mansfield

Policy claims unsubstantiated I REFER to the letter published in the Courier on 4/5/22 from Tony Schneider regarding the member for Indi Helen Haines in which he makes some wild and unsubstantiated claims

including the following: That she has not produced a single policy.

May I remind readers that she introduced a bill for a federal integrity commission to parliament.

Another claim was that she won’t say where her campaign funds are coming from.

Ms Haines discloses all her donations received of $1000 or more on her website for all to see.

Another criticism was that she won’t disclose how she would vote on the other side of the election.

Surely, how she would vote would depend on the subject of the bill being voted on at that time.

Every constituent has a right to criticise and question their candidate but it must be based on some semblance of fact.

Parking, adequate water supply - many city people have no concept of saving water.

Then there is the problem of schools and hospital facilities already stretched and looking to expand.

Exercise areas for both children and dogs.

The existing park, though lovely, will certainly not be adequate at the current rate of subdivision.

I feel, very strongly, that a halt be called to this madness and some serious discussions held before any further harm is done to this ‘one time’ very pleasant little country town.

Do we really want to become another Yarra Glen, just an outer suburb of Melbourne?

Let us keep our somewhat unique atmosphere, which is after all, the reason so many people come here.

I feel very sad that we are losing all this, and for what?

Just financial gain - is that more important than our rural way of life?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Council development plans WE attended a public meeting last Sunday to discuss the issues surrounding the development of the land behind Highton Lane.

It was most depressing that neither the mayor nor any councillors were present.

To his credit the developer was, and he was willing to answer questions in a very honest and consultative manner.

Many complaints were about our council’s reluctance to engage in any meaningful dialogue.

Many, who have tried to air their concerns, have not been listened to or fobbed off with poor excuses.

We know that many of the issues raised have been covered in the council’s voluminous planning strategy documents.

Most of which are out of date or in redraft.

While it may be common practice, huge volumes of information released on short notice is clearly ineffective.

How many of our residents are aware of what is happening in and around Mansfield?

None of the people at the meeting agreed with the core ideas of the council’s development strategy.

A high growth, fast moving housing strategy is only feasible with a corresponding strategy for education, health, aged care and infrastructure facilities like plain old water etc.

We voted our council in to look after our welfare.

If the State Government is pushing our shire to release land, it is council’s duty to demand a corresponding upgrade to those facilities under state and federal jurisdiction. Health and education are prime examples.

The people of Mansfield love their town because of its unique blend of town and country.

We like green spaces and town housing blocks of reasonable dimensions interspersed, where possible with our majestic gum trees.

evaluation instead of just toeing the party line?

Let’s hope so.

Will it mean more integrity and less corruption in Canberra?

Well, that’s why we elected her.

John McCombe, Merrijig

Doing politics differently

PICTURE PERFECT: A postcard Sunday sunset in Gough’s Bay. We are not against development, but it must be sustainable.

Does anyone want an inner urban jungle called Mansfield town?

The council does, however, seem committed to the Alpine region where ridge line development is precluded.

Contrast this with lakeside areas where at least eight such developments have been allowed around the Ford arm of Lake Eildon alone in the last few years significantly reducing its visual beauty.

We all know we have a personal responsibility to stay informed on local issues, but this rarely happens until something affects us personally.

Two lone voices raised the issue of Highton Lane with their neighbours.

They took their concerns to council, were listened to but not heard.

To have one’s elected representatives so apparently disconnected from their electorate is truly depressing.

The failure of any councillor to

accept an invitation to attend the meeting suggests closed minds.

We recommend that the council review its communication strategy (if it has one) to include listening.

In addition to the numerous strategy papers and invites to meeting a crisp summary of the building strategy should be sent in simple leaflet form to each resident, and updated as necessary It is imperative in our view that the council engage with the electorate in a meaningful manner as soon as possible.

Irene and Terry Keating, Mansfield

Haines voting HELEN Haines’ voting record has led to some confusion, some over-excited language, and a persistent investment in paid advertising.

I used to be good at arithmetic so let me help sort it out.

Helen has voted about equally for and against the government on Bills, amendments and other times, when a vote was needed, on the basis of what was good for Indi.

PHOTO: Caral Burrell Those claiming she has an antigovernment bias are including, but not explaining, ‘gag’ motions; that the speaker no longer be heard.

This device was originally introduced to stop members speaking for too long, rather than stopping them altogether.

Of the 796 votes Helen has attended, 342 of them were gag motions, intended to shut down debate.

Helen opposed 325 of them.

And good on her.

This government has set new records - the most since Federation - in its (mis-)use of the gag, ducking for cover to avoid debating such matters as government integrity, the treatment of women, multibillion dollar subsidies for fossil fuels, and pork barrelling with taxpayers’ money.

I want to see Helen returned, hopefully with several more likeminded Independents.

Will that make things difficult for whoever is Prime Minister?

That’s the idea.

Will it mean more time spent on negotiation, debate and

SEEMS like so many people are disillusioned with the way our democracy works that they genuinely don’t know who to vote for.

We no longer have an effective democracy because the major parties operate from a position of fear. Fear of losing their donors’ money, fear of making courageous, long-term policy decisions, and fear of losing power.

With a few notable exceptions, elected representatives have become completely beholden to their party line, instead of standing up for the voices of the people who voted for them.

Nine years ago a bunch of people from all walks of life across our region felt strongly enough about this to get organised and do something about it.

That galvanising moment restored Indi’s voice in Parliament, and has since shown the broader population that there is another way.

It is so telling that Indi’s journey over the last decade is now being mirrored around the country.

This is truly exciting, because it’s coming from the grass roots.

Regardless of whether more independents make it to Parliament, ordinary people have decided that they can make a difference.

That’s democracy reclaimed.

I think our next Parliament is going to achieve a lot of great things.

So do ignore the nonsense about “hung parliaments”, there is a groundswell for doing politics differently.

You don’t have to wear a coloured tee shirt to be part of that change, you simply have to use the power in your hands when numbering your preferences at the ballot box.

Planets create celestial kiss

By KURT HICKLING, astro-photographer LAST Sunday morning, a rare event took place with the planetary conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.

Local photographers and enthusiasts were out to witness and capture the rare event.

The planetary conjunction has been labelled as the ‘celestial kiss’.

No binoculars were needed as the spectacle could easily be seen to the naked eye.

Sources from SPACE.com say conjunction is when two planets appear close together or even touching in the Earth’s night sky.

In the days running up to last Sunday, Venus and Jupiter have been gradually coming together in the sky.

Venus and Jupiter will be millions of miles apart, but from Earth they will appear close to colliding.

This planetary conjunction happens annually but this year the planets appeared much closer than usual.

The early morning start was well worth it for astro-photographers.

I was on location at 5am and conditions were simply perfect for the special occasion.

Venus and Jupiter could be clearly seen to the naked eye with both planets appearing to be nearly touching.

I was thrilled to be out doing what I love and observing something of a rarity.

In the days running up to Saturday, Venus and Jupiter have been gradually coming together in the sky.

The two planets will go their separate ways as they drift apart in the coming days.

The same spectacle won’t occur again like this until 2039.

Government offers $250 energy bill bonus ALL Victorian households will receive a $250 payment if they seek out a better energy deal on Victoria‘s Energy Compare website.

As part of the Victorian budget 2022/23, the State Government will invest $250 million in a new ‘Power Saving Bonus‘.

From July 1, the new $250 payment will be open to all Victorian households who

use the Victorian Energy Compare website to compare their energy deal and seek out a better price.

“This is a great opportunity for Victorians to save money, ease the cost of living, and cut their energy bills,” Premier Daniel Andrews said.

“Big power companies rely on people not having the time, information or knowledge to save money. But we

know better deals are out there – and we‘re helping Victorian families find them.”

The Premier said the Victorian Energy Compare website is the only free and independent online energy price comparison service available to Victorian energy consumers.

According to the Premier, user data shows that seven out of every 10 users can save money by switching

energy offers, with typical annual savings of $330 on energy bills in the first year of switching alone.

The quickest way to submit an application for the $250 bonus will be through the website, but Victorians without access to a computer or the internet can call the Victorian Energy Compare helpline or receive support from a com-

munity outreach partner.

The $250 ‘Power Saving Bonus‘ runs until June 30, 2023, and follows a similar $50 payment in the 2018/19 state budget.

It also builds on the $250 bonus for concession recipients delivered in the 2020/21 budget, which remains open to eligible concession card holders until June30, 2022.

holders include those receiving payments through the Pension Concession, JobSeeker, Austudy, Abstudy or Youth Allowance programs, or who hold a Department of Veterans‘ Affairs Gold Card.

Households that have previously claimed the $50 or $250 ‘Power Saving Bonus‘ will be eligible for this new one–off payment when the program opens in July.

MACE Neighbourhood House NEIGHBOURHOOD House Week will take place from May 9 to 15 with the theme of ‘building resilience by bringing people together’.

Neighbourhood House Week is a national initiative which celebrates the role of over 1000 neighbourhood houses in local communities across Australia.

MACE is one of 400 in Victoria and hosted a community dinner on Tuesday.

“We are super excited to be bringing our community together to celebrate what makes MACE such a special place for so many locals,” said chief executive officer Kylie Richards.

“It’s been a tough time with the COVID-19 pandemic, but I am proud of everything we have done to make it a little easier for our community.”

Ms Richards said the dinner is in partnership with the Mansfield Multicultural Group, who meet to reduce social isolation and build connection and community among our varied cultures represented in Mansfield.

“Our multicultural group meet every month, with great attendance,” said Ms Richards.

Nicole Battle, president of the Australian Neighbourhood Houses and Centres Association, said this year’s Neighbourhood House Week theme was about re-emerging and rebuilding a harmonious and resilient community after the lockdowns that saw so many Australians isolated.

“I am so proud to lead such a resilient, responsive and adaptive sector, made up of so many selfless and hardworking individuals,” Ms Battle said.

“Neighbourhood and community houses and centres have truly demonstrated their weight in gold over the past two and a half years.

“While so many other services closed during the lockdowns, Victorian neighbourhood houses stepped up.

“96 per cent of neighbourhood houses continued to deliver in varying capacities, and 60 per cent ran food relief programs, responding to a significant rise in demand.

“Other services our houses provided included childcare, remote adult education, social and recreational gatherings, technology support and device hire.

“Neighbourhood houses also played a valuable role during the rollout of the vaccine program, creating awareness and combating vaccine hesitancy.

“This Neighbourhood House Week we acknowledge this incredible effort and the staff, volunteers and community members who made it all happen.

“Now as we begin to re-emerge, we are looking to rebuild those strong social connections that many people lost, building a stronger, more resilient community than ever before.”

More ag jobs to be lost, McLeish says STATE Liberal member for Eildon Cindy McLeish says the State Labor Government’s ‘budget savings’ plan will axe a further 85 jobs from Victoria’s agriculture department, slashing close to 10 per cent of the agriculture workforce.

In a media release last week Ms McLeish said this will mean less services for farmers, and disruption to development initiatives that could boost our farmers’ profitability and sustainability; all while Victorians continue

to be impacted by food shortages and major disruptions to the food supply chain.

“The city-centric Andrews Labor Government has cut 109 agriculture jobs this year alone; it is a disgrace,” said Ms McLeish.

“These jobs cuts couldn’t come at a worse time for Victorian food and fibre producers.

“The $17.8 billion food and fibre sector is crucial to recover and rebuild Victoria’s economy after a tumultuous three years.

Member for Eildon says 10 per cent of the agriculture workforce to be axed under new plan

“Costs are skyrocketing, putting massive financial pressure on our hard-working farmers who will now get less support from underresourced State Government services.”

According to Ms McLeish’s office, last year’s state budget removed $285 million from regional development and $61.3 million from the agriculture budget.

“Regional Victorians continue to be short-changed,” Ms McLeish said.

“They are being slugged the

highest taxes in the country, getting less and paying more.

“We need to support our hardworking farming community, not take their jobs away.”

Ms McLeish said positive measures to employ more Victorians - not job cuts - will be key to recover and rebuild from three years of pandemic, and further questioned the State Government’s agricultural budget cuts, specifically around the potential impacts on biosecurity and trade.

Slice of life sends development rife CONVERSATION continues around Mansfield’s population boom following residents voicing concerns over residential developments and council consultation at a recent community meeting.

Commentary on the Mansfield District Community Noticeboard on Facebook has shown a divided reaction among locals, with some feeling that development should be organic and sustainable as to not burden infrastructure and lose the town’s amenity, while others speak of progress and a selfish attitude from some locals who’ve bought their own ‘slice of country life’ and now don’t want to share it.

Carol Lowden, Mansfield resident and co-chair of the recent community meeting, said the meeting was well attended due to the anxiety about booming subdivision, and doubts whether our rural amenity, natural beauty, infrastructure, street safety, traffic or resources are being wisely referred to.

“We were gobsmacked upon moving into Highton Lane in February; we met our two adjacent neighbours who will have a new road 10 metres from their bedrooms,” said Ms Lowden.

“Neither neighbour was aware or had received a letter from the shire.

“Only 18 per cent of Highton Lane was advised of the proposed subdivision which will funnel onto Highton Lane.

Conversation continues around town’s population boom, residential developments and council consultation p

BY SHAUN McMAHON smcmahon@ nemedia.com.au

“The traffic estimates are based on houses in Highton Lane 2020; no truck movement is included although trucks are the majority of day traffic.

“No current real-time traffic study has been done.

“No councillors attended the meeting but we were very appreciative that The Courier and a developer did join us to listen to our concerns.

“At this stage, we have more confidence that developer Ash Day will be more receptive to the ideas of residents than our own representatives.

“We are depending on our council for the right decisions, for the people here now, and the people of the future.

“You don’t know the value of what you have until you lose it forever.”

Ms Lowden further noted a specific example of how the next stage of the Stockman’s Rise development was changed to high density without community consultation, and how blocks elsewhere as small as 300sqm are being encouraged when the shire strategy suggests blocks should be 800 to 3000sqm.

Business owners have also spoken out about feeling the effects of employee shortages due to lack of local housing, following concerns voiced at the community meeting by Highton Lane developer and Lima South quarry owner, Ashley Day. Wes Mudge, executive officer at Mansfield District Business Association, said that worker housing supply issues are real across all industry sectors, and not just in Mansfield Shire.

“It’s across North East Victoria, the state, and extends to national and international locations,” said Mr Mudge.

“These issues are enhanced in areas of desirable lifestyle locations like Mansfield which have proximity to city services and the increased opportunities for people to work from home.

“The speed at which owner/occupiers have adapted to regional living has enhanced significantly in Victoria, with city dwellers surging to the regions following repeated lockdowns and buying houses previously used as worker rentals, which has greatly contributed to the house price increases over the two years.

“We’ve also seen worker housing accommodation being acquired and used as lifestyle/investment properties, often listed on Air BNB platforms, reducing the lo-

cal worker housing supply further.

“Another driver of the shortage is due to fewer people living within houses and workers being less inclined to live in a co-shared housing environment, which was previously a solution for many people not that long ago.

“The State Government and local councils are all trying to create land supply through their planning systems, however, the timelines do not match current demand.

“The regional population growth needs both federal and state government infrastructure investment to match the population move to the regions, so our regional areas like Mansfield can maintain the living standards.

“These factors have combined to cause the present housing crisis being experienced by workers and businesses in the Mansfield Shire.”

Mansfield Shire mayor James Tehan responded to a few of the key issues raised at the recent meeting, one of them being increased water demand, for which he said Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) is responsible for guaranteeing Mansfield’s water supply.

“When a new development occurs, council refers applications for planning permits to GVW as the ex-

pert and responsible authority for town water supply,” said Cr Tehan.

“GVW monitors our shire’s growth to plan and to ensure adequate infrastructure and supply.”

Other issues raised included healthcare and education.

Cr Tehan said that council works closely with Mansfield Primary School and Mansfield District Hospital to understand key issues facing them as our population increases.

“We’re working to advocate for fit-for-purpose classrooms, providing flexible spaces that are now a key part of school programming,” said Cr Tehan.

“We are working with the school to consider how council can enhance the school’s offering, such as enabling greater access to public recreation and sporting spaces.

“Over the past 12 months, council has worked with the hospital to advocate and support them in their bid for redevelopment.

“Council is delighted with the announcement of $60 million for aged care facilities.”

Of the concerns around residential development, the mayor said council understands the shire’s most important assets, one of which is its native vegetation, and

is protecting our rural vista and farming land by limiting the boundaries of development.

“We are proud to serve a community that identifies environment and place as a key priority, and we are committed to sustainable growth and protecting the beauty and amenity of Mansfield Shire,” said Cr Tehan.

“Currently, decisions about native vegetation are guided by legislation set by the State Government.

“To receive a permit to remove, destroy or lop native vegetation, developers need to demonstrate how the development will result in no net loss of biodiversity.

“Council also works to incorporate additional protections for native vegetation in the shire.

“We encourage landholders to register their property as a native vegetation offset site.

“This would further increase our net biodiversity gain and provides opportunities for landholder income.

Cr Tehan also noted that Mansfield’s Planning Strategy was recently subject to comprehensive community consultation and that all of the current developments comply with General Residential Zone allowances, including smaller lots with double storey residences around Highton Manor, which have specific requirements to ensure heritage values are retained.

2022 federal election Indi Candidates 2 three things you would pursue as Indi’s elected representative, Q2 Q1 Name to aid local recovery from the impacts of the COVID pandemic?

In your final pitch to the Indi electorate, why should they vote for you?

A1

Carefully allocate federal funding for industries hit by lockdowns and travel restrictions. Tourism, hospitality, retail and health have all lost staff and their valuable experience and all need help with sourcing and training staff.

Subsidise small businesses in all tourism and hospitality sectors by providing discount vouchers and other incentives for locals and tourists to visit accommodation and hospitality venues.

Fund mental health outreach programmes and expand existing services to support all community members in their emotional and mental health recoveries, with a particular focus on youth.

As a barrister, I have a good understanding of the law and how it works at all levels of government. I know how to keep sitting governments accountable for their actions and how to make sure they stick to their promises. I believe strongly in the power of communities and all my decisions as a representative will be based on the Animal Justice Party’s values: kindness, equality, rationality and non-violence.

A1

For the last three years, the people of Indi have seen that I fight for us every single day. We will only stamp out corruption from politics and stop the waste of public money by voting in a strong Independent voice who won’t take no for an answer. Only an Independent can truly be our champion in Canberra. Because as an Independent, I work and fight for you.

A1

I strongly believe in the policies of the Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party: Sack weak judges; Jail paedophiles; Aged care ratios and quality food; Jail not bail; End animal cruelty; and Public sex offenders register now.

I am about to be married and hopefully have children. I want them grow up in a healthy and happy environment.

Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party

Workforce shortages have been a real challenge as we emerge from the pandemic. We need sector planning and support so we are not so heavily reliant on international workers and can grow our own.

Tourism and events needs strong support to rebuild the visitor economy and support SMEs that were decimated by lockdowns.

Victoria’s ambulance response times, particularly in regional areas, are at a point of crisis. Hospital ramping is a key part of the problem, leaving ambulances banked outside of regional hospitals waiting for a bed. Our regional hospitals need more beds, more investment, to relieve bottlenecks in the health system.

A1

WILLIAMS, Stephen

1 – Ensure that the damage caused by the state and federal governments response to COVID can never happen again. Make it impossible for government to mandate vaccines, lockdowns and other family, personal and business destroying measures to be implemented.

2 – Get all people back to work by allowing those who have chosen not to have a vaccine to re enter the workforce, free of discrimination.

3 – Pressure councils and state governments to rezone land for housing and encourage the construction of new housing as a priority.

The current members of Federal Parliament cannot be trusted to ensure our freedom and rights. Almost none have spoken out against the terrible consequences of the past two years of attacks on our freedom. Nobody can flourish in a state where their freedom of choice and movement is restricted. The UAP has policies that will pay back the debt, guarantee our future freedom and revitalise the economy. We are the future.

A1

Three things I would pursue to aid local recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are, firstly I would look to getting people back into work, ending the workplace vaccine mandates and believe the vaccine mandates are assisting with the workplace shortages. I would attempt to implement One Nation’s health policy to assist with the health system crisis at the moment and I would fight for a royal commission into the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as One Nation’s policy states not to lay blame but to learn and be better prepared if and when the next pandemic comes along.

I believe all voters in the Indi electorate should look at all party policies and meet with the candidates if possible to help them decide who to vote for. I believe you can’t vote for who you dont believe in and believe the policies should align with the individuals values.

A1

As Indi’s elected representative, I would focus on increasing resilience to aid local recovery from the impacts of the pandemic. The Greens will close the gender pay gap, and give casual and contract workers access to protections and entitlements, protecting the rights of all workers. We will support recovery in the arts industry, which brings income into communities across Indi, with additional recovery funding and pandemic insurance for live events. As experts advise, we will fund schools to install high efficiency particulate air filtration systems in all classrooms and communal indoor areas, to protect the health of students and teachers.

In balance of power, the Greens will push the next government to take action on climate change, including no new coal and gas, seriously address gender pay equality, bring dental and mental health into Medicare, create affordable housing, a fully-resourced NDIS, wipe student debt and make uni/TAFE free again, free childcare, quality aged care, and make billionaires and big corporations to pay their fair share of tax. Vote 1 Benjamin Gilbert, vote 1 Greens in the Senate.

A1

Voters in Indi know what they are getting with a vote for me, Liz Fisher. Years volunteering in my community show I genuinely care. Operating a successful business, I understand financial management and providing employment to others. Being a farmer and one of 10 children, I am practical and look to innovative solutions to problems. Fundamentally, I know that getting things done is achieved by being part of the team that makes decisions.

The pandemic resulted in working from home, online education and telehealth while many businesses pivoted to online sales. This required digital connectivity.

Continued investment in fast, reliable and accessible connectivity is essential.

Tourism to the North East has returned and hospitality staff are desperately needed.

However, it’s difficult for workers to find a place to live. The government has programs to assist people to buy a home, to assist social housing enterprises and local government to develop more housing. The recovery from the pandemic is resulting in inflation. As a mother and small business owner, I understand cost pressures and the importance of good financial management. The Coalition will manage a stronger economy.

Because I’m the only one who will actually get things done in Indi. We’ve had Liberals, we’ve had Nationals, we’ve had Independents, but the same problems persist and now we’re in the worst position we’ve ever been. We can’t trust Scott Morrison to deliver what he promises. He never has. Only Labor has the plans and the will to get things done and I’ll be part of that team.

DAVID, Nadia

Housing. Renewable energy. Manufacturing.

These three things are inextricably linked and making sure we have enough housing for people who already live here, as well as those who want to live here, means we can build back our manufacturing capability and kick start Indi’s economy again. We should make renewable energy industry components, electric vehicles, textiles for our sports players and ADF here in Wangaratta. We need to grow our trades with free TAFE. We need to plug in to cheap clean energy. Enough housing will mean hospitality and retail businesses can operate at full capacity once more.

FIDGE, Julian

The Liberal Democrats will increase the tax-free threshold to $40,000 (from $18,200) in order to encourage workers to re-enter the workforce to overcome the workforce shortage in Indi.

We will also introduce a flat tax rate of 20%, so that the people of Indi will be taxed fairly and not be penalised for working harder or longer hours.

The Liberal Democrats will abolish company tax on re-invested profits in Australia. This will encourage businesses to invest in themselves and provide more jobs in Indi to compensate for jobs that disappeared during the Covid pandemic.

Vote for the Liberal Democrats because they are the only party that has reasonable, sensible policies which address the issues that concern voters.

The Liberal Democrats’ policies are gentle and progressive. They have been proven to work everywhere they are implemented. For example, there are dozens of countries that use nuclear power safely for clean, reliable, baseload energy.

Our policies can be found at ldp.org.au

I’m running because businesses and communities told me they felt abandoned in their time of need. It is more important than ever that we have an MP focused on the economy and local investment, because only with a strong economy can we deliver essential services we rely on. I am focused on growing jobs, reducing the cost of living, and increasing investment that sets us up for generations to come.

LYMAN, Ross

I’m running for Indi because I never want to see business and community crippled again because of decisions politicians make. As we emerge from COVID, I want to build a stronger future for the North East, founded on a strong economy. To do this I will work with the private sector to attract manufacturers to our region and boost our defence manufacturing here in Indi. I will strengthen the North East aas a nationwide tourism destination, putting local business at the core. I will ensure businesses are confident to invest in our region, with investment in underpinning infrastructure - road, rail, renewables and health.

I know times are tough, with the costs of groceries, fuel and power going up.

And because of this I’ve put forward detailed plans to boost affordable housing and lower power prices – two key drains on the household budget. Second, we need to invest in our local health system by bringing more healthcare workers to our region. My plan is to triple the number of doctors we train locally, and bring more psychologists and psychiatrists to the regions by offering university debt relief. Third, we need to guarantee our economic recovery by investing in tourism, renewable energy, and local manufacturing.

FUTURE MOVES: Helen Haines has asked Liberal candidate Ross Lyman how his party would lower the cost of living for people in the electorate if he is elected.

ON THE JOB: Ross Lyman responds by listing several savings the government has recently announced.

Candidates stoush over Indi’s cost of living

INDI Independent incumbent Helen Haines has blasted claims from the Liberals and Nationals that it has worked to solve the housing crisis across regional Australia.

She called on Liberal candidate for Indi Ross Lyman to outline exactly how his party would lower cost of living for people of Indi if he was elected.

Dr Haines said the government had been missing in action while cost of living

Available from: Wednesday to Sunday from 4-30pm

pressures had skyrocketed, especially housing, electricity, groceries and petrol.

She said its claims of being good economic managers were challenged by the reality on the ground in Indi.

Dr Haines pointed to a UNSW report released last week showing Indi was the highest-ranked regional electorate facing mortgage stress.

“We are facing a major housing affordability and supply crisis and in the last two

years, prices are up... 37 per cent in Mansfield,” she said.

Mr Lyman fired back at Dr Haines’ claims saying one of the key reasons he decided to run for Indi was because businesses and families were telling him they felt “abandoned by the Independent, who was not there to support them in their time of need”.

“I am the only candidate for Indi qualified to tackle economic and cost of living

pressures,” he said.

“I have a Master of Business Administration from Melbourne Business School and a Master of Economics, while working as an executive at top Australian companies, KPMG, Ernst & Young and Woolworths.

“Unlike the Independent, who sits outside of government and talks about problems, the Liberals in government get on and solve them.

“The Liberal Government

cut fuel taxes in half, saving Australians 22 cents a litre on fuel.

“It introduced a $420 cost of living tax offset for lowand-middle income earners, on top of the $1080 tax cut from July 1, meaning 62,700 people in Indi get to keep more of what they earn.

“We have delivered a oneoff $250 cost of living payment to 21,417 pensioners; 5889 disability support recipients; 1980 carers; 5414

jobseekers; and 3471 eligible self-funded retirees in Indi.”

Mr Lyman noted that just this week the Coalition has committed to reduce the cost of scripts by $10 permanently, making the maximum cost $32.50.

He said this is on top of the Liberal Government increasing the childcare subsidy to up to 95 per cent and electricity prices falling eight per cent since coming to government.

New mental health unit for North East AN additional 16 acute mental health beds will bolster Northeast Health’s treatment capabilities, with a complete redevelopment of the hospital’s Kerferd Clinic set to take place with funding detailed in last week’s state budget.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the funding last week, with a share in $35.5m set to contribute to the planned acquisition of land and expansion of the clinic’s existing Wangaratta unit.

With an ongoing $22m redevelopment of the hospital already under way, Ms Symes said the promise of a new 36-bed acute mental health unit in Wangaratta, as well as additional beds at Shepparton, were important steps towards expanding the capabilities of rural health precincts. “(Northeast Health) currently have a facility of 16 beds, which is really not fit for purpose,” she said.

“The hardworking staff do their best to provide treatment to people in need in a very outdated facility that really is in need of some modernisation.

“So this planning money today to really think about the service requirements of the region and the needs of the staff will deliver a facility that will cater for 36 people at a time.

CLINIC REDESIGN: Northeast Health board chair Jonathan Green, chief executive officer Libby Fifis and Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes came together to announce the redevelopment of a 36-bed mental health clinic.

PHOTO: Kurt Hickling “What this will do is take pressure off our emergency departments - we know that the experience from the staff in those centres is that more and more people are presenting with mental

health issues without the options locally to provide the services required.

“It’s putting pressure on areas of our health services that really will benefit from a dedicated service for not

only providing appropriate treatment but making sure that other services and other parts of the hospital aren’t burdened by something that is better treated in a dedicated facility.”

A report filed in the wake of a royal commission into the state’s mental health response last year recommended significant changes to regional health provisions should be made by the end

of 2023 to make services more available in the local community.

And while no specific time frame for the redevelopment was forthcoming, Ms Symes said she expected the planning and design stage to be fast-tracked, with health workers and people with lived experience of mental illness slated to inform the unit’s design and needs.

“The planning will be undertaken through the money that is provided in the budget, which will inform the next steps in relation to construction,” she said.

“The planning money will inform the design, the needs, and therefore the next budget allocation to deliver a facility of the type that we have committed to delivering.

“I always like things to be quicker than they are so now that this is on my agenda, now that I know that people will be sitting around a table designing what this looks like, it’s something that I will advocate for sooner rather than later, but it is a commitment to deliver it.”

A further 5000 nurses are also expected to ease the burden on regional health care staff, while 90 additional paramedics will be trained in an effort to reduce wait times for regional ambulances.

Reserve retaining wall rectification works completed WORKS have now been completed to rectify a section of the retaining wall at the Mansfield Recreation Reserve.

“These works were required

to resolve an ongoing issue identified with the retaining wall and to ensure safe and accessible infrastructure for our sporting groups and spectators”, said Mansfield

Shire mayor James Tehan.

He reported the project has been completed on budget and to schedule by Jasper Civil and Taylor Consulting Engineers.

NIGHT OUT: A cast of eight performed the sold-out plays.

ADELE McCormack, Mansfield’s 2016 Citizen of the Year, wrote one of the two radio plays that were performed at ‘Radio Theatre: Live!’, a special community event held by Arts Mansfield at the Delatite Hotel last Thursday, April 28 in front of a sold-out crowd.

“After ‘Margo & Beryl Go Cruising’ was broadcast on Radio Theatre last year, I was thrilled that the sequel - again featuring my characters of Margo and Beryl - would be back in another radio play farce,” Adele said.

“This time they’re much older and Margo is losing her hearing, resulting in lots of hilarity and confusion as she misunderstands what’s being talked about during the wake for an old friend; particularly when a stranger turns up claiming to be a long-lost son and wanting the inheritance.

“The local cast are terrific and did a wonderful job in bringing all the characters to life.”

Under the guidance of the late Colin Rochford, Radio Mansfield’s popular Radio Theatre held a sold-out performance of ‘Radio Theatre: Live!’ in October 2019.

After the postponement of similar events in 2020 and 2021 (due to the COVID lockdowns), an all-new ‘Radio Theatre: Live!’ finally returned to Mansfield in front of a rapturous crowd, who enjoyed a two-course meal at the Delatite between the shows.

The audience got totally involved in the performances, reacting to signs that encouraged them to ‘Gasp’, ‘Cheer’, ‘Applaud’ and even go ‘Aaawwwww!’ at key moments.

But they didn’t need any signs to tell them when to chuckle and guffaw, as laughter flowed freely in response to the exuberant performances, and the clever dialogue and effects, including a cream pie to the face and a guitar being smashed to pieces.

The two hilarious radio

plays - Adele’s ‘Old George’s Wake’ along with ‘The Misadventures of Robin Hood - Parts One and Two’ - were performed by a cast of eight and included live sound effects created and performed by sound maestro Ian Mallyon.

The plays also featured old-fashioned radio commercials and even two live musical performances.

Technical set-up and support was provided on the night by Rolf Koren and Josh Hamill from Mansfield Sound and Lighting.

‘Old George’s Wake’ will be heard on Radio Mansfield during its regular Radio Theatre 3pm Sunday slot throughout June, with ‘The Misadventures of Robin Hood - Parts One and Two’ to be played out over August and September this year.

Featured performers include Hayley Robinson, Ian Todd, Deb Dodgson, Jeremy Kaye, Rachael Noble, Peter Wright, Bernadette Gifford and Tim Barber.

Local fish stocking breaks national record THE State Government has stocked Victorian waterways with a record 10 million fish over the past year, setting a new nation-wide record.

The initiative is part of the government’s $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan, funded by recreational fishing licence fees, and includes one million Murray cod and golden perch stocked in Lake Eildon, Lake Eppalock and Rocklands Reservoir.

Brown trout and rainbow trout were also released at Lake Eildon, bringing the 2021 to 2022 stocking total to over 1,250,000 fish.

There were also record stockings in individual waterways including 100,000 golden perch into Lake Nillahcootie, 113,000 estuary perch into the Barwon River, 50,000 Murray cod into Lake Bellfield, 105,000 estuary perch into Gippsland Lakes and 55,000 brown trout into Upper Coliban Reservoir.

In the Broken River, 28,000 golden perch and 66,300 Murray cod were released, with 20,000 Murray cod also going into Lake Nillahcootie.

There were also inaugural stockings including 15,000 Macquarie perch in the King River, 3900 tiger trout in Lake Bullen Merri, 5000 estuary perch in Aura Vale Lake and 80,000 silver perch in Lake Buffalo.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority grew a majority of the fish at the Snobs Creek hatchery near Eildon, and the recently

THE ONE THAT DIDN’T GET AWAY: Hopefully there will be plenty of big smiles and big catches at Troutfest on the weekend.

completed Arcadia hatchery on the banks of the Goulburn River near Shepparton.

Of the fish stocked in the past year, 8.1 million were native species such as Murray cod, golden perch, Australian bass, estuary perch and the endangered Macquarie perch.

The remaining 1.9 million were trout and salmon including rainbow, brown, cheetah and tiger, along with Chinook.

Fifty thousand brown trout went into the Jamieson river, with 11,560 brown trout along with 2683 rainbow trout going into the Goulburn River, released between Eildon and Molesworth.

Since 2014, the State Government has invested $71 million into the recreational fishing sector, which is worth over $3.9 billion to the Victorian economy and supports 33,000 jobs.

“We know how important recreational fishing is to the Victorian economy,” said Minister for Fishing and Boating, Melissa Horne.

“These fish stockings will encourage tourism to towns right across the state and, in turn, support local businesses.”

This investment includes removing commercial net fishing from Port Phillip Bay and the Gippsland Lakes, building a new fish hatchery at Arcadia, creating more fish habitats in rivers and bays, extending the Golden Tag competition, and encouraging participation through free VicFishKids events.

Troutfest 2022 is on Michelson’s ALL things trout fishing will be showcased this month as our picturesque Eildon plays host to Troutfest 2022 on Saturday.

Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) chief executive officer, Travis Dowling, said the Troutfest event is being run in partnership with the Australian Trout Foundation (ATF) and would highlight the vast recreational fishing opportunities on offer around Eildon.

“This event will be a trout fishers’ paradise, with tours of our Snobs Creek hatchery, guided fishing clinics, casting demos and much, much more,” Mr Dowling said.

“There will be something for fishers of all ages with activities for the kids and a Fishing Hub where you can learn the latest from organisations like the VFA and ATF, Fish-

care, VRFish, Maritime Safety Victoria, our Women in Recreational Fishing Network and Native Fish Australia.

“Trout are a key component of our record 10 million stocking effort, with close to two million browns, rainbows and tiger trout stocked across the state in the past 12 months.

“A lot of those fish, as well as native species and Chinook salmon, are grown at the nearby Snobs Creek hatchery under the watchful eye of our expert staff.

“Tours of the facility will offer a unique opportunity to learn more about how your fish are produced.”

The guided tours of Snobs Creek will be conducted hourly from 10.30am with VFA staff leading the way and giving fishers a rare, behind the scenes look into fish production.

Fishcare will lead the clinics at Eildon pondage and there will be casting demos and competitions held throughout the day as well as prize giveaways for fishers of all ages.

“Whether you’ve been tying your own flies for years or fishing for trout is something you’ve always wanted to try, there is something for everyone at Troutfest 2022,” Mr Dowling said.

Troutfest will run from 10am-4pm on Saturday, May 14, and the Fishing Hub will be based at the Eildon Community Centre on the shores of Eildon pondage.

Bookings for hatchery tours and guided fishing clinics are essential.

WHAT’S ON

Delatite Wines - Harvest Moon Festival seminars

“IT has been exciting to see the response to our inaugural Harvest Moon Festival at Delatite Winery this week, May 13 to 15,” said Polly Ritchie from the winery.

“The ideas symposium will focus on incorporating sustainability into our lives.

“And participants will hear from inspiring people in landscaping, food and cooking, architecture and growing, as well as joining the communal activities.”

Delatite Wines’ own interest in sustainable farming led them to adopting biodynamic practices 20 years ago.

Managing director David Ritchie, however, admits that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s out there today.

“There is a great groundswell of interest in new farming ideas and approaches to farming, at all levels,” he said.

“It puts us in the fortunate position of being able to both teach and learn.”

Festival goers will hear seminars, join a fire-roasted feast, watch hot air balloons, take part in yoga and a dam dip, taste wine and plant trees at Delatite Winery’s new cellar door.

All this and more, while overlooking the breathtaking views of Mt Buller.

“This event is about the celebration and enjoyment of our area,” David said.

“We want people to come here, enjoy our beautiful place, learn, have fun and eat and drink well.

“Join our festival speakers in the Barrell Shed for thought provoking ideas on reconciling our relationship with our First Nations people, an ecological approach to architecture, permaculture, biodynamics, sustainable meat sourcing and landscaping for living.”

Although selling fast, tickets are still available for many of the main events.

To see the full list, with times and costs and booking links visit Harvest Moon Festival About the Barrell Shed Seminar Speakers: Jim Osborne of Yambulla’s talk was one of the standout events at the Australian Landscape Conference, recently.

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION: The Harvest Moon Festival is shaping up to be three days of informative and enjoyable activities, with the additional incentive of sampling some cracking good wines at the Delatite Winery.

His seminar Inviting First Nation Knowledge Holders Back onto Land is not to be missed.

At 40, having shunned farm life to become a landscape architect, he took over a large, remote, family farm.

There he seeks to address the complex environmental, social and financial issues of farming today.

Thanks to his relationship with Bruce Pascoe his land management is with love, respect and collaboration.

Lucy Clemenger, the architect behind Delatite’s fabulous new cellar door, will share her ideas on building for the future in her Design Insight seminar, using the design and construction of the cellar door as a reference. This will be followed by a panel discussion with Lucy and (her cousin) David Ritchie.

Lucy has worked for more than 20 years for numerous architecture practices in Australia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Greece.

She worked with NH Architecture in Melbourne as a design

director, before establishing Lucy Clemenger Architects in 2016.

Jared Murray will be discussing Permaculture and Biodynamics in his seminar.

As a specialist food producer, Jarred develops tailor made soil and biological programs to help clients work with nature to improve their soil and plant ecosystems.

His seminar will cover practical farming and projects that Green Living Permaculture are currently involved in, demonstrating measurable results.

Billy Staughton will be speaking about Sustainable Food Sources.

Billy has had a long history of connecting people to the land having co-founded the music festival Strawberry Fields and more recently being a co-owner in the Melbourne bar, Galah.

During COVID he started Discover Wildfoods which helps to save Australia’s pristine habitats, threatened by large herds of non-native animals like wild deer and wild boar, while providing high quality

wild meat delivered straight to the customer’s door.

Finally, Tom Gordon will be talking about Connecting People to Land Through Design in his seminar.

Tom has made it his life’s work to create spaces that people want to use.

He has done this through his own landscape architecture company, Art Gardens Australia, and more recently his work with the ACT government designing urban spaces.

Learn about Tom’s approach to design, the mistakes he has made along the way and how he has created his much loved and admired designs.

If you would like further information on any of these speakers or any other events please contact Polly Ritchie on 0458 485 873 or polly@delatitewinery.com.au.

ANZAC SPIRIT: Jim and Maureen Doig in Jamieson in front of Juddy’s y Hut.

BORN AND BRED: Jamieson raised Australian military serviceman Ben Bolwell back in town on Anzac day. y

The tale of the 39th Battalion J i Jamieson residents id t pay p gg Wagga gg respects in Wagga

By CARMEL DIXON JAMIESON residents united at the Riverine Club, in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday, April 20.

This year is the 140th anniversary of the club; Maureen and Jim Doig, Jamieson residents and club members now living in Wagga Wagga, friend, former police officer and Jamieson resident Wayne Rotherham, and former resident and military man Ben Bolwell all answered the call to attend the Anzac celebratory dinner.

There were 50 attendees at the event.

Wayne, a retired Victorian Police Detective Inspector whose 35 year career spanned to every corner across Melbourne’s underworld, spoke for 40 minutes to a spellbound audience, captivated by the history and the passion to successfully restore the 39th Battalion to its rightful place in Australia’s historical wartime records.

2022 is the 80th anniversary of the Kokoda Campaign.

Wayne based his speech on the history of the 39th Australian Infantry Battalion where his father Robert served defending the Kokoda Track.

The 39th Battalion was formed in haste from Victorian Home Defence personnel in October and November 1941.

Initially officered by WW1 veterans, its ranks made up of 18 and 19 year old boys, armed with WW1 weapons and des-

ignated for a passive garrison role in Australian administrated Papua.

Three weeks after the horrific aero-naval attack against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbour, the unit embarked on the Aquitania for Port Moresby, where it was to fulfil a much more significant and historic role than was ever contemplated at the time of its formation.

Wayne discovered later in life that his father was a member of the 39th Australian Infantry Battalion, who many argue saved Australia from invasion from the Japanese military in 1942, while defending the infamous Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea.

With this knowledge, Wayne embarked on a journey that few could imagine.

The 39th Battalion was not recognised for its valour and was shadowed for 50 years by historical ineptitude.

The battalion had been struck from the ‘Order of Battle’ soon after its heroic achievements in PNG. Wayne went on a personal journey with a dedicated team of volunteers to achieve recognition for the 39th Battalion and to have its rightful place in history restored.

Wayne told the attendees he has walked the 96 kilometre Kokoda Track 14 times.

He completed a double crossing of the track from Owers

HISTORY: Wayne Rotherham’s great grandfather, Robert Wray, his grandparents Wallace and Zita Rotherham and his father Robert (Bob) Rotherham, outside the Jamieson Post Office in 1945 after Robert returned from active service in PNG. Corner to Kokoda Village and back, 200km in 16 days.

Wayne’s daughter Erica and son Robert accompanied him also walking the 200km in 2009.

There is a memorial to the Kokoda Campaign constructed on the Kokoda Track that Wayne was involved with and he attended the opening ceremony.

Wayne has taken personnel from all over Australia to experience the arduous challenge of walking the Kokoda Track and the exultation of achievement.

It was a personal reunion for

the three Jamieson friends.

Maureen Doig (nee Pope) was born and raised in Jamieson, Wayne’s family lived in Jamieson and Ben Bolwell was born and educated at Jamieson Primary School.

Ben made his career in the Australian military and has been posted away from Jamieson for many years.

He returned to see his first Jamieson Anzac Day including the dawn service and gunfire breakfast, the march and the lunch at the Courthouse Hotel, before driving back home to his young family.

FIREARM owners are being urged to prepare for changes to firearm storage requirements from August 30, with new legislation to be imposed on all licensed firearm owners.

From August 30, Category A and B longarms must be stored in a purposebuilt steel storage receptacle that: ï¬ is of a thickness of at least 1.6mm which complies with Australian/New Zealand standard 1594:2002 (as amended from time to time); ï¬ if the receptacle weighs less than 150kg when it is empty it must be bolted to the structure of the premises where the firearm is authorised to be kept; and ï¬ is locked with a lock of sturdy construction when the firearm is stored in it.

Also from August 30, Category C and D longarms and general category handguns must be stored in a purpose-built steel storage receptacle of the aforementioned specifications.

The new receptacles will be expected to be purpose-built for the storage of firearms, with those licence holders currently storing their firearms in bolted clothing lockers or hardwood receptacles encouraged to begin making plans to upgrade.

Eastern Region Division 4 divisional firearms officer Leading Senior Constable Andrew Auhl said the new changes were designed to curtail further serious offending if firearms fell into the hands of thieves.

Police are anticipating high demand for commercially made gun safes, and outlined discretion may be granted to owners who attempt to proactively upgrade their storage before August 30, as long as proof of purchase is provided.

LSC Auhl said police will be carrying out regular checks at the premises of licence holders over the coming months to ensure owners have addressed their storage compliance.

Licence holders are urged to avoid keeping firearms at vacant properties or holiday homes, which can become the target of theft, as these properties do not meet safety requirements and standards.

LSC Auhl also warned gun owners not to leave tools lying around in the vicinity of any storage receptacle but to make sure they are locked away to prevent them being used in a theft or break-in.

He said it was important to secure the safe keys in a room separate to the room the firearms are secured to make it more difficult for firearms to be stolen.

“Offenders will often look for soft targets and take advantage by stealing firearms,” he said.

“You should also store ammunition in a separate locked container.

“Remember - if your guns are stolen due to your lack of care and attention, you may be charged with offences that carry heavy fines and you may be deemed ‘not fit and proper’ and have your licence cancelled.”

With the changes set to impact Category A and B licence holders in particular, more than 80 per cent of the total registered firearms throughout the state which are registered against these licences are expected to be subject to the new storage requirements.

North East regional news in brief Wangaratta snubbed as hub location, but Premier says city will play a part WANGARATTA is still in the mix to lure world class athletes to local venues for pre-Commonwealth Games training and practice despite it missing out on being named as one of four regional cities to stage events.

Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat and Gippsland will have athlete villages purpose-built ahead of the Games to accommodate competing athletes.

It is estimated the 2026 Commonwealth Games will contribute more than $3 billion to Victoria’s economy, creating more than 600 full-time equivalent jobs before the Games, 3900 jobs during the Games and a further 3000 jobs beyond the closing ceremony.

Premier Daniel Andrews last week confirmed all parts of regional Victoria will share in the running of the 2026 Commonwealth Games even though major regional cities like Wangaratta and Wodonga were left off the list of hubs.

“We’ve announced four hubs because we have to build athletes’ villages, but there will be training camps, competition practice, a cultural program - the likes of which we’ve never seen before,” Mr Andrews said.

“There will be deep engagement with every single community to make sure every single part of regional Victoria - the best

part of regional Australia shares in what is a unique event.

“We didn’t want to do a rerun of 2006 (Commonwealth Games) when it was all in Melbourne and a handful of events in regional Victoria.

“We didn’t want to do the same thing again, we wanted to do something different, something that’s really powerful and I think this will be fantastic for regional Victoria.”

The Queen’s baton relay will also take place across Australia prior to the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which allows nominated community stalwarts and champions to carry the baton.

“It was a recipe for disaster,” he said.

“That distraction plus the vehicle in front engaging in a style of driving that’s not appropriate - it’s never going to end well.”

VicRoads staff were called to the scene to repair the wire barriers, which had snapped during the impact.

According to Ldg Snr Const Gillespie, the driver and passenger of the lead vehicle, as well as the driver of the other truck, were transferred to hospital but did not sustain serious injuries.

Police worked to direct traffic into the right hand lane while both vehicles were towed from the scene.

Suspect drives dangerously against traffic up Hume Freeway in attempt to escape police

Two survive vehicle’s 15 metre fall locals to carry the Queen’s baton a month before the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The 2026 Queen’s baton will travel around the country before the Games in four years’ time.

AN alleged car thief was in a dramatic high speed chase between Albury and Benalla last Saturday that involved the suspect driving in the wrong direction against traffic on the Hume Freeway.

Police allege the 23-year old Albury man stole a black Mitsubishi Triton utility from a Wangaratta premises in the Baltimore Estate at about 3.15am on Saturday.

The owner of the vehicle noticed it was missing later that morning, but fortunately the vehicle had a GPS tracker, assisting with the location of its whereabouts.

Police attempted to intercept the vehicle near the border, however, the

suspect allegedly drove at high speeds south along the Hume Freeway to avoid capture.

Senior Constable Paul Groves of Wangaratta police said a Victoria Police chopper was deployed to provide aerial support and the road pursuit was terminated as the suspect entered a Benalla residential area.

The dramatic pursuit came to an end at about 12 noon when it’s believed the stolen vehicle ran out of fuel near Bowers Road at Winton.

Despite three police units and the chopper in pursuit at this time, the man continued to try to evade capture by leaving

CROWD FAVOURITE: Olympic swimmer (then 15 years old) Belinda Hocking was one of several

the vehicle and running through paddocks until he was caught.

The accused was charged with offences relating to theft of motor vehicle, theft from motor vehicles, and dangerous driving.

Trucks collide in Hume Freeway crash THREE motorists were hospitalised on Tuesday afternoon, following a rear end collision between two trucks along the Hume Freeway between Bowser and North Wangaratta.

According to Leading Senior Constable Imogene Gillespie of Wangaratta

police, a lead truck was forced through a wire barrier while heading southbound at approximately 2:50pm, after it was hit from behind by another truck.

“One truck was travelling too slowly and the other truck ran up the back of them,” she said.

The lead truck was said to have been travelling at approximately 40kph in the left hand lane, after it suffered a flat tyre.

Senior Sergeant Colin Provan said he believed the driver of a Mercedes Benz prime mover had become distracted in the cabin, before rear-ending the lead vehicle.

A VEHICLE which rolled 15 metres down a steep slope left two passengers trapped in the Alpine National Park south of Dinner Plain last Friday morning.

SES, police, Fire Rescue Victoria, ambulance crews and multiple CFA brigades attended the Blue Rag Range Track near Selwyn, locating a passenger who was conscious but unable to escape the vehicle.

According to a CFA spokesperson, the remote location necessitated a challenging rescue, with CFA, FRV, SES, VicPol and Ambulance Victoria working together in steep terrain to establish a high angle rescue and extract the patients.

Police said the driver had suffered non lifethreatening injuries.

Mother’s Day in Jamieson with Carmel Dixon

house Hotel fundraiser for $1357.55, plus the monies collected for Legacy on Anzac Day, from the generous community and visitors for $1464.05, a total of $2821.60.

Congratulations and thank you.

MOTHER’S Day saw visitors and local residents attending 11am Mass at Saint John the Apostle church on Sunday.

Father George Feliciouz welcomed all of the attendees including international visitor Brigitte Keyeye from Burundi, whose daughter recently married local Jamieson lad Jack Dwyer.

Both mothers attended the service with the newlyweds.

Father presented each mother in church, with a special Mother’s Day flower and wishes.

Each flower was created by Mansfield resident Joan Carey and were distributed to many visitors.

LAST Thursday afternoon the Jamieson Memorial

Hall was the most popular address in Jamieson, a new event has been organised for school students to attend after school activities and action.

Combining ball games, drawing sessions and introducing new activities, students from Jamieson Primary School and students coming on the bus from Mansfield College attended the first day.

The event will be held on Thursdays from 3:45pm to 5:15pm and the students are under supervision.

THE Jamieson community group meeting was held last Tuesday, May 3 and 40 residents attended and the business was conducted vigorously.

Many reports were attended to with future events being tabled.

 MOTHER’S DAY: Recently married Mimi and Jack Dwyer with their mothers on Sunday Jane Dwyer and Brigitte Keyeye.

THE Craft Ladies’ Biggest Morning Tea Anti-Cancer Council fundraiser will be held on May 26 in the Memorial Hall at 10am.

This is a very popular event the Jamieson Craft Ladies have been holding for many years.

All welcome.

 THE BIG DAY: Paris Weller and Mitchell Russell enjoying their 18th birthday party, on Saturday evening in Jamieson.

JAMIESON ON THE LINE

24D08553/3020

SATURDAY evening Jamieson was helping the Russell family celebrate the combined 18th birthdays of Mitchell Russell and his friend Paris Weller - 50 friends from Jamieson, Jamieson holiday friends, Mansfield, Shepparton and Scott’s College Albury, where the two are students, rallied to the occasion and had a fantastic evening.

Kylie and husband Tom decorated the property with disco lights and served a fantastic souvlaki supper.

The guests danced and sang the evening away, even with cooler weather upon them they all partied like there was ‘no tomorrow’.

There was a fabulous breakfast for over 30 party guests, of egg and bacon rolls and toasted ham croissants.

All cooked by Kylie and Tom. Many of the guests stayed nearby at the Jamieson caravan park, some camped at the Russell property.

All voted it was the best party ever.

Congratulations.

NATIONAL SPORT

Bombers coach full of praise for Wright COACH Ben Rutten has lauded Peter Wright after the Essendon spearhead’s six-goal performance in the unlikely AFL win over Hawthorn.

Wright was crucial as the Bombers, ravaged by five late withdrawals because of illness before the match, turned a 25-point deficit during the third term into a 27-point victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.

The 203cm target man kicked one goal in each of the first three terms and three of Essendon’s eight in a finalquarter blitz that decided the contest.

Wright has now kicked 23.7 from eight games this season, putting himself firmly in Coleman Medal contention and on track for a career-best year.

“Pete was huge tonight,” Bombers coach Rutten said.

“Ever since he’s come to the club I’ve just loved his work ethic and his appetite to get better.

“No matter how good his form is or who his opponent is, he does the work and puts the time in during the week.

“He’s a great role model for our younger players and to get the reward is not surprising because he’s doing the work.”

Rutten also said Essendon

will have to re-think Devon Smith’s rehabilitation program after the former best-and-fairest winner’s planned stint on the sidelines was put on hold.

Smith, who has struggled this season and was dropped after round five, was not named in the Bombers’ initial 26-player squad to face Hawthorn.

But the 28-year-old received a late SOS from Rutten on the

morning of the game when teammates began pulling out through illness.

It came three days after Essendon football manager Josh Mahoney said Smith would be sent to the rehabilitation group to complete a “minipreseason” to build up the muscles around his troublesome knee.

Smith had 10 disposals, dished off three goal assists

CONTROVERSIAL: More details have emerged about Liz Cambage’s controversial exit from the Opals basketball team.

and laid six tackles against the Hawks.

“He had a big session planned today and he got one tonight for us,” Rutten said.

“I’m not sure what it means going forward just yet, we’re going to have to sit down and have a think about it.”

The Bombers’ win gave them a 2-6 record ahead of an away clash with Sydney in round nine.

Jen O’Hea lifts lid on Liz Cambage Opals incident FORMER Opals captain Jenna O’Hea has confirmed claims that Liz Cambage told her Nigerian rivals to “go back to your third world country” in an incident that sparked a messy exit from the national program.

Cambage was independently investigated and issued a formal reprimand - but not suspended or fined - after the practice game altercation derailed the Opals’ Tokyo Olympic campaign.

In the days after the Nigeria clash

she withdrew from the Games citing mental health concerns and then, despite remaining available for selection for this year’s World Cup in Sydney, said she would never again play for the Opals.

The specifics of Cambage’s oncourt actions had remained a mystery until Sunday.

Speaking on the ABC’s Offsiders, retired Opals great O’Hea confirmed host Kelli Underwood’s claim that Cambage “turned to them (Nigerian players) and said

‘go back to your third world country’,” and that they hadn’t spoken since.

“That is all one hundred per cent correct,” O’Hea said.

It comes after Cambage, who has a Nigerian father and now plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA, told the ABC: “I’m living my best life. I’m supported, I’m protected on a level that the Opals or the Australian team never gave to me”.

“My heart lies with those who

Fears for McStay as Fagan mulls options BRISBANE will likely welcome Eric Hipwood straight back from his long injury stint next week as coach Chris Fagan contends with another key forward casualty.

Daniel McStay looked in agony after rolling his left ankle in Saturday’s 75-point AFL hiding of the undermanned West Coast, with the Lions target having to go to hospital.

An X-ray cleared McStay of a broken ankle but he faces further scans on Monday and the prospect of weeks on the sidelines.

His injury, which Fagan admitted “didn’t look great”, follows that of forward-line

partner Joe Daniher (shoulder), while Hipwood hasn’t played all season.

Fagan had already flagged Hipwood’s potential return to face Adelaide next week, though, while the versatile Cam Rayner’s midfield cameos will likely lessen as he too is pushed forward to fill their injury-hit front line.

“He’s playing next week (in either the AFL or an internal practice match),” Fagan said of Hipwood.

“We’ve got a decision to make there, but he’s in great nick.”

There’s no such concerns in a midfield that now officially

includes Hugh McCluggage, the long-time Lions wingman dominant with four goals, 10 tackles, seven inside 50s and four other score assists among 26 sublime touches.

A three-time member of the All-Australian squad, the performance did his quest to earn a maiden jacket no harm.

“It’s a pretty special game; he’s not a bad player, Hughy McCluggage,” Fagan said.

“We tried to move him inside last year but he was going through a bit of a transition, sometimes he was good and sometimes not so good.”

- AAP

want to protect me and those who want me to be the best I can be, and I never felt that at the Opals at all. So yeah, I’m good.”

O’Hea, a long-time captain of Cambage, bristled when asked for her response.

“I can hold my head up high and say I always loved her, always cared for her, supported her, had her back,” O’Hea said.

“That is her reality and the listeners can believe what they want to believe.

“Everyone’s done more than enough. We’ve sacrificed a lot to try and keep her in the program.

“She doesn’t want to be here anymore. That’s her choice and we need to move on without her.”

The Opals struggled without Cambage in Tokyo but O’Hea said with proper preparation Sandy Brondello’s outfit would play to its ranking, which has long fluctuated between No.2 and No.3 in the world, at Sydney’s World Cup. - AAP

Matildas battle to be English champions AT least one Matilda will be left waltzing in London as the Women’s Super League season ends with four Australian internationals duelling for the title.

Chelsea’s Sam Kerr is full of nerves as she sets out to cap a landmark week in which she collected the prestigious FWA player of the year award by lifting a third straight English title with the Blues.

But across the city on Sunday, the Australian captain’s national teammates Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord and Lydia

Williams will also be seeking to snatch the trophy for Arsenal.

It’s all down to two ‘high noon’ matches taking place 40km apart as Chelsea host Manchester United at Kingsmeadow and Arsenal visit West Ham, for whom another Matilda Tameka Yallop could also play a part in the drama.

The equation is straightforward for Chelsea.

With a one point lead, they need only to match Arsenal’s result to retain their crown but fourthplaced United present a formidable obstacle for

Kerr’s team, who have been labouring of late.

“I’ve been nervous all week because I care so much and want to win so much,” Kerr told Sky Sports after collecting her player of the year award on Thursday.

“We’re Chelsea - we wouldn’t have it any other way. I’d much rather be in our position than anyone else’s with it being in our hands.

“And at the same time, this was the same title race last year with Man City, we’re used to this so this is not new and we’re going to enjoy it.”

Grant takes the trifecta

By LAURIE HARCUS TEMPESTUOUS weather, rain and snow was forecast for the area for the past week.

Not to be.

The weather was fine on Tuesday and a reasonable Thursday.

Tuesday stroke event results: 1st - Brad Grant net 70; 2nd - Domingo Diaz net 71 C/B; 3rd - Taki Murakami net 71.

All three players had a 10 handicap (now that is different).

The start of a big week for Brad Grant after easily winning his Sunday pennant match.

Domingo is going well in building his bank balance up for his annual migration to the warmer climes up north.

Taki is in the money for the fourth week in a row.

Thursday stableford results: A grade : 1st - Brad Grant 36 pts (9 h/c); 2nd - Gary Johnson 34 pts C/B (16 h/c); 3rd - Rob Dundas 34 pts (6 h/c).

Keep watching for this winning name: Brad Grant.

Good second Gary, you are winning in the same vein as your cherished Melbourne football team.

Rob Dundas, a sneaky little lad who hails from Yarck each week and formerly of Alex.

Wants to win to pay for the petrol to travel here and is doing it very nicely.

A very tidy score considering his six handicap.

B grade: 1st - Bob Speed 37 pts (h/c 22); 2nd - Trevor Wright 35 pts (h/c 20); 3rd - Justin Hotton 34 pts (h/c 18).

Well Bob, a few very good weeks for you.

A fair bit of money to support your Navy pension.

Justin, now there is a lad.

Destroyed his handicap with his recent 51 pts by 15 shots.

Has now slid out to 18, respectable, hits it the proverbial mile.

Chipping and putting, see you next week.

Watch this space about this lad.

What about Trevor Wright not a young lad and is so consistent, well done mate.

Saturday stableford results: 1st - Brad Grant 41 pts (9 h/c); 2nd - Jarrod Heath 36 pts (8 h/c);

ON THE GREENS WITH PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY

TRIFECTA: In fine form during a week to remember for Brad Grant.

3rd - Shane Brook 35 pts (19 h/c).

Brad has done the trifecta.

Won every competition for the week, Tue, Thurs and Sat. Words fail.

Has it been done before?

An amazing purple patch which we hope continues into next weekend when he leads the handicap pennant team into a battle with Corowa in the final.

Albeit, he has dropped handicap shots, naughty.

Will not worry him though.

We tried to get both pennant finals to the lovely Benalla course so that we could have lots of spectators, not to be.

You will not know, as I didn’t; we had a great result recently for Mansvegas (as I call it).

David Smithwick won the ‘A’ Grade Great Alpine Classic playing in three events at Myrtleford, Bright and Wangaratta.

He won easily with three consistent stableford scores of 36 pts, three shots clear.

We are proud of you David

Skinner the winner

By SHERYL SARGENT ON Tuesday eight Ladies ventured out for a regular Stableford nine holes off the front.

New to golf and Mansfield member Sharon Gysberts came home with the goods with 15pts followed closely by Barbara Crawford and Kerri Nicol both on 14.

Wednesday was also a Stableford round with 23 players.

First place in A grade was Sheryl Sargent with 36pts, runner up on a countback was Sam Bailey and 3rd place Sue Crow with 33pts.

The in form Glenis Skinner was winner of B Grade with 34pts, runner up and welcome

Special tournament announced

back to Mansfield Jenny Rennie with 33pts.

3rd place with 31 was Linda Brook.

NTP 3rd Sue Parsons, 7th Lyn Poulson, 16th Millie Cumming, 2nd shot on 9th Katie Pilbrow and 2nd shot 17th Linda Brook.

The weather forecast for Saturday’s Stroke round wasn’t looking good which kept a few away but in the end the rain stayed away.

Once again the lady of the moment breaking her handicap with a fantastic 68 nett was Glenis Skinner.

The next best was Susan Kinloch with 78nett. NTP on the 3rd was Linda Brook.

Good luck to our ladies Pen-

nant players heading off to Benalla Monday to contest the finals.

Division 1, consisting of Andrea Marsden, Sheryl Sargent, Gayle Wells, Nicki Cooper and Sue Parsons, have a battle against Thurgoona.

Division 2’s team Linda Brook, Lyn Holland, Glenis Skinner, Lyn Poulson and Shelly Comerford will be hoping for a repeat performance of last year.

They are playing Albury.

Hopefully when this goes to print we will have two flags to celebrate.

WINNER WINNER: Glenis Skinner in fine form, winning two comps last week.

(also a member of last year’s h/ cap pennant team and didn’t lose a match).

Our lovely ladies are in both Div 1 and Div 2 pennant finals.

We are very proud of them as well.

And I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be sharing with you exploits of Geoff Brown.

I’ll leave it at that for now.

Interested to hear the goss from our members that ventured to Barham this week?

Stay well, stay happy.

AS the end of the official bowls season drew near Mansfield Bowls Club selectors called a special mixed pairs medley tournament to be held next week to celebrate a successful past season.

Friday, May 20 will see the medley held at the club starting at 10am and will consist of three games; two of 12 ends and one of 10 ends.

BYO lunch which will be held after the first game of the day. Dress is casual and there will be prize money at the end of the day.

The tournament will be sponsored by Country Landscapes (Mike Harrison).

Social bowls are continuing and will be held right through winter, weather permitting with both Tuesday and Friday competitions moving to afternoons, starting at 1pm, from this week.

Friday bowls have become very popular with an average of 24 players taking to the greens and giving some close results and it is hoped that by moving the Tuesday Social bowls from mornings to afternoons it will see more players hit the greens.

For the Saturday pennant bowls season the club moves up a grade into A4 from the B2 section and will need at least 32 players registered for the season.

Names are being taken for the 2022/23 season which is expected to commence in October this year.

The club has also registered for midweek pennant which again will need registered players up to 20 who are willing to play in this competition.

Name lists are inside the clubrooms.

Home pennant will also be held on Tuesdays for those wanting to stay at home.

Last week’s Tuesday social game results saw Steve Lewis, Ross Parsons, Mike Harrison and Pam Zierk-Mahoney take out a win on 29 shots.

On Friday (May 6) despite the heavy clouds, soft rain at times and even a light sprinkling of snow towards the end of the day, Ray Close, Sid Revell and John Lobbe took out the win with 35 shots against John Foots, Denis Sharpe, Kevin Nickelson and Jenny Walsh on 30 shots.

Tuesday and Friday social bowls are good times for beginners to come and learn the game or just come along and talk to a member about joining in - visitors are always welcome of course.

A little correction to the winning team for the Ladies Triples Championship held back in April were Irene Fuller, Gwen Gray and Ida Rochelle (not Ida Jones).

And last week eight of the ladies went up to the Murray River to play a special tournament at Corowa Civic Club over two days.

Coming home in fourth place overall was the team of Elaine Peterson, Yvonne Robinson, Marian Ryan and Vicki Klein who won five of their six games. Well done ladies it was tough games all round and against some of the best state players.

The team of Lyn Foots, Lyn Holland, Irene Fuller and Pam Zierk-Mahoney, although not coming home with any prizes, did a great effort in winning four of their six matches and also coming up against some very strong opposition.

The ladies’ trip was sponsored by Robbo’s Glass and the Commercial Hotel - and it is a big thank you to them for helping make the three days away such a good time.

Coming up on May 29 is the annual presentation of trophies for the 2021/22 season which will commence at 11am, followed by a barbecue lunch and then the annual general meeting.

For catering purposes please put names on the list on the board at the front of the clubrooms.

See you on the Greens.

Bombers get another one on the road

By ANDREW RABSON Bonnie Doon 12-12-84, Whorouly 4-4-28 Goals: A Murray 4, S Bennett 3, H Dunsford, C Lietch 2, Cory Lennon 1 Coaches cup - Angus Murray Bonnie Doon Hotel - Billy Revell Fans pick - Chris Leitch THE Bonnie Doon Bombers’ reserves side made their way to Whorouly on Saturday bracing themselves for a very physical game.

Past experiences have shown how Whorouly like it in tight and contested to grind away stoppage after stoppage with their physicality.

The Bombers weren’t letting Whorouly get their way after getting the ball moving quick with Angus Murray putting on a dominant display down forward kicking three goals in the first quarter.

The Bombers had plenty of answers at stoppages with the first gamer in Billy Revell showing how good he is when there’s a ball to be won at ground level linking up with the likes of William Wigget, Noah Kelleher and Luke Berriman who provided plenty of outside run.

James Octigan also put together his first game for the year starting off half back and working his way into a mid-rotation providing plenty of class in the middle for the Bombers.

Bonnie Doon went into the first break with a small lead and knew there was work to be done.

The second quarter saw the back line hold its own again this week with Ben Kelleher, Paul

Diamond, Jarrah Pitt and Luke Jenkins keeping the Whorouly forwards at bay which provided plenty of opportunity for the Bombers to get to work further up the ground with Hamish Dunsford putting in a dominant display in the ruck which saw his first on the board alongside Sam Bennett and Chris Leitch.

The main break saw the Bombers with a handy lead but they weren’t satisfied yet; the young Bombers outfit were ready to pounce in the third quarter which saw a few more quick goals off the back of Sam Bell and Billy Revell’s defensive work through the middle.

Forward fifty entries were coming in fierce for the Bombers; Jed Murray led up and down the ground very well all day. You can see the smile on Sam Bennett’s face when he sees Patty Revell hitting him lace out on several occasions which saw him put three goals away for the game.

The fourth quarter came around and Angus Murray put on a show in the ruck which gave Hamish Dunsford and Joey Kelleher first use of it.

There was none other than Chris Leitch winding back the clock and showing the young ones how it’s done sealing his second goal for the game, while Cory Lennons took some great grabs all over the ground which also saw him hit the scoreboard as well.

The Bombers ran away with it in the end 56 point winners.

The Bombers are keen to be back home next week against Moyhu and looking forward to the challenge.

SOLID: James Fox put in another solid four quarters in the ruck in the Bombers’ win over Whorouly at the weekend.

Bombers roar with a win over the Lions

By KEN MURRAY

SATURDAY saw the Bombers travel to Whorouly to take on the Lions on their home deck.

A win would see the boys continue to get the season on track, and at the end of the day the Bombers found themselves back inside the top five, with a solid 22 point win.

Whorouly fielded their best side of the season and came to play from the outset, and the boys realised that once again they would be hard to beat at their home deck.

The midfield was again another strong area for the boys with Beau Smith, Campbell Smedley, Guy Mur-

ray and Jack Goonan setting the tone early with strong clearance work.

Up forward, Al Bennett once again continued his strong season, and if not for some inaccurate kicking could have had his best bag of the year.

The skipper Sean Campitelli joined him forward this week and slotted a couple as well in the third to keep the team’s lead in tact.

In defence, the young bull Patty Smith was solid with some eye catching runs from defence.

He was well supported by Benny Hedin, Conor Heaslip and Zak Bailey.

James Fox put in another solid four quarters in the ruck, with his

OVENS AND KING SENIORS LADDER TEAM

work around the ground a solid contribution on the day.

The win sees the boys string together their third win on the trot, and go into next week’s game against Moyhu with some well earned momentum.

If the boys can get the points again next week it will continue to solidify their start to the season and help set up a tough month of footy to follow.

The Foodworks Coaches Cup was awarded to Jack Goonan in another eye catching performance.

The Bonnie Doon Hotel award was taken by Beau Smith, and the Mansfield Pizza award was taken home by Campbell Smedley.

NETBALL REVIEWS

Wins, losses, and a draw for Bonnie Doon playing our own game.

A very big thank you to the U15 girls who played up, Stella Brakels, Cobie McCormack and Emmerson Keatch; these girls absolutely smashed it.

With the support of our families and club, Doon came out with the win, coming off the court with smiles on our faces and high energy.

Good job girls - can’t wait for next week’s game.

A Grade

By ANNA MANNING

Bonnie Doon 39 def by Whorouly 55 Best on Court Mia Tanner sponsored by Bowser Bean Coaches Award Anna Manning sponsored by Foodworks AFTER a great win last weekend, A Grade were keen to go out there and replicate what they can do.

However, the win slipped through their fingers.

Mia Tanner, awarded Best on Court, had an absolute ripper first half of the game hardly missing a goal and working hard to maintain a draw 13 -13 at quarter time and 25- 25 at half time.

Attackers Sarah Fox and Shannon Cameron worked the ball steadily around the ring successfully feeding the ball to GS, Portia Keatch and Steph Ward.

The defensive end, consisting of Steph Evans, Casey Thompson, Erin Brond and Anna Manning created pressure resulting in many turnovers.

Despite hard work from the whole team Whorouly stepped up and gained a lead that could not be caught.

A Grade have all the ingredients to win against these teams, but have not found the best way to put it together quite yet and maintain the leads we work so hard to get in the first half of each game.

Then our shooters.

So that lead to first quarter finish (W - 11 / BD - 13).

Second quarter - yeah she was a little rough (W - 26 / BD - 22).

Third quarter we were Usain Bolt out there.

Our defenders Cass, Webby, Maddie and trusty Tahlia, worked hard, magnificently as they always do but that day, it was like the devil came out of them.

So yep, get running.

Overall we finished that quarter with a great lead (W - 34 / BD - 44).

Last quarter we finished off with a good win (W - 47 / BD - 55).

Bonnie Doon started off strong taking the lead in the first quarter by 2 goals.

Cobie McCormack in GS and Stella Brakels in GA worked well together to gain the 2 goal lead.

Whorouly started to make a comeback in the second quarter.

Emmerson Keatch in GK, Grace Timmers in GD and Maddie Maher in WD, fought hard to defend but Whorouly pushed back hard and succeeded in taking the second quarter.

Demi Murray consistently performed well in C, with great support from Tilly Thornton and Amy Cash in WA, challenging Whorouly’s defensive end.

Going into the third and fourth quarters unfortunately Whorouly got the better of Bonnie Doon but with a six goal win it was a close game with Doon trying their best under difficult court conditions.

Bonnie Doon and Whorouly meet again on June 25 with a home game where hopefully Doon will come through with a win.

WINNERS AND LOSERS 5 Eagles netballers take on the Bears in Shepparton ROUND

MANSFIELD Eagles netballers travelled to Shepparton at the weekend to take on the Bears in a series of tough on-court tussles in which the home side mostly prevailed, with the exception of a great win by the Eagles in the B Reserves.

A GRADE BY CASSIE DOLLING

Mansfield 28 def by Shepparton 78 MANSFIELD’S A grade netballers headed over to Shepparton on Saturday to play against the Bears, knowing they had a tough game ahead of them.

The team started strong with Meg Mahoney and Ellie Kipping in the goal circle putting up shots and down the other end Tyla Ciarma, Nelle Cousins and Grace Hood worked tirelessly in defence to try and put a halt to the Bears’ tall shooters.

In the mid court there were quick rotations with Bella Reilly, Dempsey Parsons, Alicia Foster and Cassie Dolling each coming onto the court to play their parts.

While the girls put up a strong fight it wasn’t enough with the Bears coming out on top with a final score of 28-78.

Bianna Kelly really showed her versatility by swapping between different ends of the court in GA and GK. Britt Kipping in GS was shooting with amazing accuracy and providing incredible vocal support towards the entire team.

Millie, Kara and Matisse never gave up and worked tirelessly to move the ball down the court to the shooters and assisting the defenders with intercepts and tips.

TeAna Wards really made her presence felt and was everywhere on court working consistently and aiding the team with her tight defence and great drives.

Grace Hood had great defensive pressure getting rebound after rebound in GK and working with Molly to

Goalers Michelle Kain and

Sue Dolling were given lots of physical attention in the goal ring but this did not detract them from their usual swift quick plays, rotations and high shooting accuracy.

With Mansfield up by a couple of goals heading into the second quarter defenders Robyn Robinson and Caroline Trenfield were determined to extend this lead by applying tight defensive pressure and claiming any rebounds that came their way.

Alison Estlake was a great support at WD and combining well with Leonie Berry they were able to get many tips and intercepts through the mid court.

THIS week the under 15s played a tough game against Shepp Bears.

Starting strong we had Remy Stevenson in goal shooter and Amelia Clydesdale in GA getting a few shots up.

We had Emma Witkiss in C getting some great leads into our half.

Down in the defence end we had Harper Anderson playing GK and Jaspa Robinson in GD. Working perfectly together we were able to get some great turnovers and get a goal out of it.

We had Eliza Doig and Ava Mahoney playing mid court, swapping in and out.

Molly Judge and Tasia Ciarma were playing outstanding defence, and also swapping in and out as well.

By half time it was neck and neck.

Three quarter time the Eagles started to lose it.

We were able to redeem ourselves in the last quarter, and with Isla Robinson making her first appearance coming on, playing WD. We ended up losing by six goals, but an outstanding performance by the girls.

beautiful feeds into the goalers when WA and then displaying great defensive skills when moved into WD. With the margin still in Mansfield’s favour at half time Jess Dolling came on at WA and showed great poise and strength with her drives onto the circle edge.

A final change in the last quarter saw Jess move to GS and Michelle to WA. This proved to be the deciding factor with Mansfield dominating all over the court and taking the win by 18 goals.

Big thankyou to Mia Ciarma who briefly came on in GD as an injury substitute.

Junior footballers shine under lights

By MICHAEL BRETHERTON and MATT STORER FOR the second week in a row, the dark clouds and rain parted and set the scene for the Mansfield junior football club to shine under lights on a Friday night.

The Under 10s were scheduled to play first and after receiving some sage words of advice from Mansfield senior coach Chad Owens, took to the field with great enthusiasm and excitement in front of a terrific crowd.

With additional registrations enabling formation of a third U10s team, the increase in space on the oval let the skills of the Eagles, Demons and Hawks players shine, with many open passages of play and linkages akin to older age groups.

The excitement of Friday night footy in front of a big crowd drove the players to run faster, tackle harder and fly higher, none more so than Hamish Brown who took a Riewoldt-like screamer, drawing the crowd’s attention and cheers.

In only their second game, the U10s have already shown great improvement in skill, hitting targets and running into space to keep the ball moving and should be commended in their efforts and commitment.

Award winners for the first Friday night under lights included Roy Mercieca and Angus Vasey for the Eagles, Hamish Brown and Levi McComb for the Hawks and Will Hewitt and Charlie Simic for the Demons The U13s were next to grace the field on what remained a cold but terrific night for football.

With COVID and school camps hurting numbers, it was decided that the three teams would be con-

WORDS OF WISDOM: Eagles seniors coach, Chad Owens, gives the juniors a few inspiring words before their game under lights. solidated into two teams of 20, with the Blues parting ways for the night and splitting between the Cats and the Eagles.

The Cats bounced out of the blocks in the first quarter with Judd Turner laying a ripping tackle and after being rewarded with a free, went back and kicked truly, signifying that we indeed had a contest on our hands.

The on-ball brigade of Taj, Bodhi and Josh were giving the Eagles many forward entries but the backline of the Cats stood tall repelling many forward ventures.

Seb Walker and Toby Gerrins were standouts in the second quarter, with Toby’s tackling ferocious and Seb’s clever ball use combined with his exceptional team player and leadership characteristics at the fore.

Before the second half teams had a drink and a good chat, name tags were tossed around but nothing changed, it was just a great contest, both sides threw themselves at the ball, none more than Archie Dunn who willed himself all night, many times outnumbered but showing the fruits of the hard work he has put into his game and is clearly going to be a headache for the opposition in weeks and years to come.

Hudson George and Harry Elliot were given the awards for the Eagles this week; they both played four quarters of great football and never took a backward step.

Sam Hough presented all night at half forward, leading hard, creating opportunities for the crumbers and continues to improve each week.

The Cats’ award winners were without doubt Cooper Martin and

Archie Dunn, with Zac Hotton likely to mention in this bracket if he keeps rucking the way he did in the coming weeks.

Rory Christopher also showed he is dangerous at both ends of the ground kicking a couple of lovely goals late.

All in all it was a terrific night of entertaining football, well played, well umpired and well supported by committee and spectators alike.

A special thanks to the junior netball club who provided an expanded canteen for the night to accommodate the added football fixture.

We look forward to doing it all again under lights in a couple of weeks and hope that this was the first of many games for the players on the main oval as they come through the ranks for the Mansfield Football Club.

Mansfield’s Under 14s win close contest

By BRENDAN PIGDON GOOD conditions met the Eagles and Kangaroos on Mother’s Day, with both sides keen to impress.

The Kangaroos kicked the first goal, but the young Eagles soon responded with a quick major through the skills of Alex Kipping.

The game was keeping the spectators on their toes as it was goal for goal the whole way through.

Ethan Pigdon, Astin Browning and Jaxon McCormack were firing it out of the middle with gusto.

Thanks to the efforts of James Benton and the Yencken twins the Eagles kept up with the Kangaroos’ immense pressure through the first half.

The young Eagles proved their fitness throughout the contest with magnificent efforts by Tom Williams, Jackson Day and Will Northcoate.

The final result was Mansfield 8 12 (60) to 5 7 (37).

The awards went to Ethan Pigdon Mansfield Eagles Cap, Alex Kipping - Ben Purday brick laying award, and Will Northcoate - O’Malleys Pizza.

Next week sees Mansfield Eagles take on Junior Magpies at Mansfield Rec Reserve, start time to be confirmed.

Eagles under 17s kick the Kangas

By Chris Stoney A COVID depleted Under 17 Eagles team came up against the Kangaroos on Sunday with only two sitting on the bench.

After a wintry start and a bit of moisture around the day turned out to be a good day for footy.

The Kangaroos got the jump on the home team kicking the first couple of goals and dominating early possession which gave the coaches plenty to think about early.

Charlie Payne playing his first game for the season was thrown into the backline and this had an immediate impact and steadied the ship.

Jack Marks got busy with his clearance work and then all of a sudden it was the Jett Kipping show; in his first season of playing football for a number of years and playing in a forward pocket Jett came alive and kicked three goals for the quarter in a masterful display .

At quarter time with a 10 point lead it felt like we had the game back on our terms and Flea and Jamie asked the boys to keep playing the game accordingly.

With Hunter Reeves’ strength at the contest and Oscar Clelland working into the game it was Mansfield dominating but it didn’t show on the scoreboard with us kicking a wasteful three goals eight points for the quarter to the Kangas no score.

At half time this was discussed and the boys were encouraged not to get sucked into the forward line and make it so congested.

The Kangas had a real crack in the third equalling Mansfield’s score for the term; it was Harry Purcell’s athleticism around the ground the highlight of the last with a magnificent goal from the boundary and winning a number of contests driving the ball deep into our forward line.

Kai Longstaff was excellent off half back and Benny Elliott and Riley Hall were good contributors for two goals apiece for the game.

We ended up coming away with a 63 point win which was very pleasing for all concerned.

Mansfield Athletics first ever race

By LIAM DELANY

MANSFIELD Athletics Club had their first race ever on Saturday in the State Cross Country Relays at Jells Park Melbourne.

Athletics Victoria set a hilly grass course with plenty of twists and turns, making it a challenge for the competitors but easy for the spectators to cheer throughout the race.

The club did incredibly well with the women’s division two team getting third.

Having local champion runner and two time Olympian Victoria Mitchell in the team was a real boost as well as up and coming junior runner Estelle O’Neill.

Amy Robinson claimed fastest time of the day for the club with 21:27 for the

6km cross country course, not far off the 1500m Tokyo Olympic finalist Linden Hall’s 20:07 fastest woman on the day.

The men had teams in division three and six with both teams claiming second.

Mansfield’s young gun Tynan Mims led out the division three team with a 19:57 over the 6km course, fastest of the day for the club.

Stewart McSweyn, also a Tokyo Olympic 1500m finalist, was the fastest on the day with a time of 17:30.

Liam Delany anchored the men’s division three team with some drama, just before the last change over as they were battling for second position Liam’s shoe broke. A quick replacement left them a minute down and fortunately Liam was able to

grab second place in the final kilometre.

The division six men’s team was filled out with local teenagers Tristan Fox and Charlie Watts, regulars at the Mansfield Botanic Park Run. Adele Leon also ran well in the U18 women’s team which didn’t have enough runners to complete the team.

We are hopeful to field some junior teams next time if anyone else is interested, we only need three per team.

The Monday and Wednesday after school training is building in popularity and the competition is open to anyone.

Look out for the bright yellow Mansfield singlets around town; when you put one on you run faster.

A GLORIOUS day welcomed the ladies of the Euroa and District Ladies Winter Tennis Association (EDLWTA) competition to Benalla for the opening of their season.

Twenty-six players and some spectators met to catch up and have a social hit in preparation for the season’s comp commencing on Monday, May 9.

Several new players were among the regulars, including three from Mansfield which was great.

President Deb Mims welcomed everyone and after a quick explanation of how the day would run everyone eagerly took to the courts.

For those who had never played on grass before it took some adjusting, but Benalla had prepared the lawn superbly and the courts were in pristine condition.

Names drawn from the bucket determined the partnerships and the order of play.

Much laughter and chatter could be heard during and after the matches when everyone reunited in the clubhouse for

a cuppa and lunch, once the physical side of the day had finished.

Deb Mims spoke once again wishing everyone the best for comp and hoped they’d enjoyed the day.

With Deb just having had her 60th birthday Terip Terip players Frances and Cindy surprised her with a cake, kindly with only three candles.

Once again teams from Euroa, Benalla, Moglonemby, Terip Terip and three teams from Mansfield, Red, Blue and Black, will battle it out each Monday, weather permitting, to be in the finals come September.

Played during school hours it’s perfect for mums to play.

Anyone interested in finding out more or wishing to have their name down as an emergency player can contact Deb on 0411 149 085.

Thank you to Benalla Lawn for hosting the day.

For next week’s round one, Mansfield Blue host Moglonemby, Terip Terip host Euroa and Benalla host Mansfield Black.

Mansfield seniors dominate final three quarters to beat Shepparton byy eleven goals pp g

THE Mansfield Eagles had a day out against Shepparton last Saturday, with the seniors putting in a dominant final three quarters to capture an 11 goal victory over the Bears.

The first term saw an even scoreboard, with an erratic 2.8 from m Shepparton to Mansfield’s three straight keeping the scores close at quarter time.

But the tide turned in the second stanza, when the Eagles took off, booting 5.2 to the Bears’ droughtstricken nil score for the quarter.

The Bears never recovered their roar, only kicking one more for the rest of the game, as the Eagles pieced together a solid second half to take home the win.

Final scores 14.11 (95) Mansfield to 3.11 (29) Shepparton.

Best for the Eagles were Brett Mahoney, Lachie Christopher, Jack

Hutchins, Cody George and Patrick Marks.

Harry Mahoney and Brett Mahoney put three through the big sticks each, with a further pair from Frazer Dale adding to singles from Cody George, Tom McDonagh, James Herridge, and Jayden Howes.

Tyler Bell, Mitchell Brett, Edward Lindon, Connor Fleming and Hamish Rowlands were best for the Bears.

Mansfield’s reserves had a closer tussle against the Shepparton seconds, and ultimately came out the victors.

A strong start from the Eagles ressies was met with resistance from the Bears in the final term, but it wasn’t enough to claw their

way back into the contest.

Final scores 9.10 (64) Mansfield to 5.6 (36) Shepparton.

And the Eagles 18s development side played a gut wrenching draw against their Shepparton counterparts, 80 points apiece with slightly straighter boots from the Eagles - 12.8 to the Bears 11.14.

The Eagles seniors side now occupy fourth spot on the ladder, with a healthy 4-1 start to the season.

Next week the Eagles take on the tenth placed Tatura Bulldogs at the Mansfield Recreation Reserve, who are coming off a drubbing at the hands of undefeated ladder leaders, Mooroopna.
