Best year ever WHAT a year it has been for Mt Buller and Mt Stirling with record numbers visiting the resorts over the past winter season.

For Mt Stirling it was a bumper year with more than 13,000 visitors to the trails almost double the stats from the 10 year average.

Mt Buller also surpassed the 10 year average, gaining 649,713 visitor days compared to 476,421 just 10 years ago .

Over the season, daily numbers scored at 452,439, with weekly averages well above previous years.

This season’s statistics was hard to compare with more recent figures with two years of very low numbers, due to the COVID pandemic, so many of the stats had to go against the 10 year average.

Either way, it was fantastic results for a season which

saw snow lovers, who had been ‘starved’ of their favourite sports, back on the slopes after the two-year hiatus.

The season finished across all six Victorian resorts recording some1,897,106 visitor days - an increase of about 48 per cent.

Mt Buller Mt Stirling RMB CEO, Mark Bennetts said: “The 452,000 visitors to Buller was certainly a record.

“It’s the first time we’ve exceeded 450,000 and the fourth time we’ve exceeded 400,000 - the other three being the pre-COVID years of 2017, 2018 and 2019.

“Excluding the two COVID impacted seasons, we’ve averaged 420,000 visitors from 2017-2022.

“And if you go all the way back to 1980, we’d never once exceeded 350,000 before,” Mr Bennetts said.

“Not just that, the Buller total in 2022 was 42 per cent of all visitors to a Victorian alpine resort, and more than Falls Creek and Mt Hotham combined.

“While the vagaries of climate change, continued investment in snowmaking, and continued growth in Melbourne, means that Mt Buller has averaged year-onyear growth of five percent since 2007.

“One word comes to mind as we reach the end of the 2022 snow season - BIG.” Mr Bennetts said accommodation bookings were incredibly strong, starting in February and building through to May - by which time it was hard to find an available bed.

“We then had the amazing early season snow that got everyone buzzing and allowed the resorts to open one week early - which was a far cry from the COVID closures of the past two years,” he said.

State of the roads

BY EMMA OLIVER eoliver@ nemedia.com.au

MAJOR arterial roads like the Maroondah and the Melba, the Midland and the Goulburn Valley Highways are all in desperate need of maintenance and repair, with the issue gaining traction as community concern increases over the issue of safety.

Mansfield local Rosie Bennett commutes to Benalla weekdays for work.

Over the last month and half she has noticed a rapid escalation in the deterioration of the road.

On Thursday, September 29 at about 10am, around 10 kilometres north west of Mansfield on the Midland Highway, Rosie hit one of a number of sizeable potholes.

The impact from the collision forced Rosie to pull over, the tyre was punctured and the rim bent to such a degree that the car was un-driveable.

Whilst Rosie was stuck on the side of the road waiting for the RACV, she witnessed another two cars also forced off the road after hitting the pothole.

Both were able to drive away after their drivers had inspected their cars for damage.

Rosie however was not so fortunate, sustaining close to $3000 worth of damage to her car.

“For a car like mine with low profile tyres the road has become almost undriveable,” said Rosie.

“However, even friends who have 4WDs have complained of being bounced off the road along particular sections of the Midland.”

It has got to the point where Rosie leaves early for the daily commute to accommodate all the hazards and delays, so that she can drive according to the conditions.

“Each day it seems a new pothole has formed and this is over a period of days, rather than a steady decline over months,” Rosie said.

“I understand that all the rain has exacerbated the problem and also made it difficult to schedule in much-needed maintenance, however I’d like to suggest that Regional Road Victoria increase monitoring on all the impacted roads and place out appropriate signage and hazard warning.

“It has become a significant safety hazard, and I no longer feel confident driving my car on roads in the region.

“I am looking to purchase something far more robust, as the roads have deteriorated to such a degree.

“I don’t see maintenance being conducted anytime soon, with so many competing priorities for financing and labour.

“As a result, I have had to change my perspective.

“Once upon a time I felt safe on the road, excluding collisions with wildlife.

“Now the road has become so damaged that it’s like some stereotypical country road, and I’ve come to the realisation that this may be a factor of living here.

“If I want to live in a beautiful part of the world, this is one of the long term issues I may have to contend with.

“It is by no means ideal.”

Rosie is also very much aware of the danger posed by the current road conditions.

After witnessing the second car hit the pothole on the day her car was damaged, she asked her husband to post a hazard alert on Facebook on the community noticeboard.

Whether numerous people had contacted

Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) regarding this specific pothole, the response was unusually quick Rosie believes.

“Within 48 hours the hole was sealed which was great, however there are other holes along the road that are equally dangerous and still need to be addressed,” she said.

Mayor Cr James Tehan understands that there has been significant concern raised by the community in relation to not only the Midland but all major arterial roads that serve Mansfield Shire.

“We have a vast road network of more than 800 kilometres; however the major arterial roads and highways are managed by the Victorian Government’s Department of Transport,” Cr Tehan said.

“The role council has on these roads is to advocate for improvement, highlighting concerns and partnering with the department for the best possible outcomes for our community.

“Council meets regularly with the Department of Transport on various projects.

“One of them is a forum where Council and the Department of Transport can discuss matters of concern about specific roads.”

At its most recent meeting, council raised the poor condition of the Melba and the Maroondah Highways and the impact on community.

“The Department of Transport acknowledges that the surfaces of these roads require improvement,” Cr Tehan said.

In a proactive step to upgrade and maintain the rural roads network, Mansfield Shire Council has partnered with other councils on a joint initiative calling on the incoming state government to take action and address the urgent issue.

“We’re asking the incoming government to reinstate the Fixing Country Roads program, which is a commitment of $200 million over four years,” Cr Tehan said.

“We want the government to commit an additional $200 million over the same timeframe for Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) to implement an ongoing upgrade and maintenance program for the RRV network across rural Victoria.

“We are also pushing for additional funding for roadside vegetation management and weed control on these arterial roads.”

“Despite the pleas from the regions, and a warning from the Auditor General in 2017, the road maintenance budget was cut by ten per cent,” said Cindy McLeish MP, the state member for Eildon.

“A further $215 million has been cut over the past two budgets.

“The state of the roads in my electorate are one of the major issues raised by constituents,” she said.

“

Cr Tehan emphasises that councils across rural and regional Victoria are all in a similar position with their roads.

“These roads are key links that keep our produce and resource economy moving and the condition of the road determines the safety of our community,” he said.

“RRV requires more funding to ensure it has the resources to maintain the roads our community depends on.”

This sentiment is echoed by the state opposition who have committed $10 billion dollars in funding over ten years to fix the road system as an election promise.

The opposition is attributing the current

repairs and posing safety risks to drivers.”

Ms McLeish knows firsthand, having recently experienced two punctures in two weeks, one occurring along a particularly notorious stretch of the Melba, coming down from Yea into Yarra Glen and Yering, on a road pock-marked with holes and a crumbling road shoulder.

Ms McLeish believes that the problem is two-fold with decreased funding not the only issue at play.

“Questions must also be asked about the government’s lack of oversight and quality control on road maintenance and repairs,” Ms McLeish said.

“The network needs to be repaired properly to ensure that roads are able to carry the vast variety of vehicles, and most importantly to ensure drivers safety.”

Ms McLeish along with the opposition is pushing for an audit of all state-managed roads.

Steve Bowmaker, the director of Hume Region at the Department of Transport, however attributes the noticeable degradation in road surface to the unseasonably wet weather over the past two years as a result of La Nina.

“It has also hindered the Department of Transport’s ability to repair road surface quickly,” he said.

“To make sure we can deliver long-term repairs that will last, we carry out the majority of our maintenance works in warmer, drier weather conditions, including hundreds of kilometres of resurfacing and sealing work, which helps to safeguard against water damage and extend the lifespan of roads.”

Stretches of the Melba Highway have been earmarked for resurfacing, with some work to begin within the month, weather permitting.

The Midland was not mentioned for resurfacing works, however there have been spot-fixes applied to problematic stretches.

And in regards to the Maroondah, there are currently no resurfacing or road pavement rehabilitation projects proposed.

It’s been a slow start to the season as a result of continuing wet weather, however with summer approaching there is hope that the much-needed maintenance on our arterials and highways will soon be underway.

Top olive oils from ‘top of the Strathbogies’

Monday: Sunny Temperature: 5-17

By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY

Tuesday: Partly cloudy Temperature: 6-18

JUST a few years into a new venture Barjarg’s Dijana Cane of Strathbogie Flavors - Marraweeney Olive Grove, not only silver, bronze and gold medals at the recent Australian Olive Awards 2022, but also took out ‘Best in Show’ .

Though a novice in the olive oil industry, Dijana has taken out the top award at the industry’s annual night.

Her Manzanillo (Spanish Olive Oil) gained the gold medal, Best in Class, and Best in Show for its beautiful flavor and purity.

Dijana’s Frantoio Olive Oil (Italian) gained silver awards while her Picual olive oil was awarded bronze.

“I was thrilled to take out the top award this year,” Dijana said.

“I have entered the awards previously and taken out prizes but gaining the ‘Best in Show’ was a real surprise and honor.”

The olive groves, sitting on 46 acres of the Strathbogie plateau have proven to be the ideal place for four different olives to grow and produce top quality fruits.

“I grow a small number of Kalamata olives as well but these are kept mainly for the table,” she said.

Dijana purchased the olive groves in 2018 after searching for an investment property.

“I originally was looking for

THRILLED: Dijana Cane of Strathbogie Flavors was thrilled at taking out the top award at this year’s Australian Olive Growers Awards. an investment cottage to be used as a B&B and fell in love with the Marraweeney place, but along with the cottage came the 46 acres of olive groves,” she said.

“The property found me, more than I found it.

“I knew nothing about growing olives or how to produce olive oils when I purchased the place, but luckily the previous owners stayed on for a while and over the next year instructed me, taught me and helped me with my first production.

“They have come back nearly every year to see how I am going and to view the groves again,” she said.

To maintain the quality of the olive oils produced, Dijana sends her fruit away to a processing plant at Markwood which guarantees everything

to be organically produced.

“It’s important to use an established and reputable processor when marketing this product; you have to guarantee the oils are of the highest quality,” she said.

The Marraweeney grove consists of around 1000 trees altogether; 400 Frantoio, 300 Picual and 300 Manzanillo, plus a few Kalamata.

Dijana has maintained the grove as ‘true organic’ and is regularly checked by NAASA to ensure the standards are being kept up.

Dijana is what you might say ‘truly in tune with nature’ as well; ‘nature has engulfed me’ was her comment.

She not only produces top quality olive oils, but has a big interest in natural herbs and spices for good health having

started her packaged herbs business in Western Australia.

She has carried that part of her business through to her Barjarg home and has increased her interest to produce Blackberry leaf tea.

“There were so many blackberry bushes on this Barjarg property when I arrived that were going out of control, I decided to have a go at making blackberry leaf tea, which has been very successful,” she said.

“By pruning the blackberries back regularly it also helps to keep the growth and spreading of this noxious pest in check,” she said.

“I can guarantee that all my products are organic as I do not use any sprays or pesticides on any of my properties that produce the fruits.”

Mt Buller breaks attendance records as the long awaited bumper snow season comes to an end From page 1 “This level of demand coupled with the low unemployment rate made it incredibly hard work for all the business operators at Buller and Stirling who struggled to attract and keep their staff.

“So a big thank you to everyone involved in putting on such a fabulous season - Buller Ski Lifts, accommodation providers, lodges, F&B outlets, equipment hire outlets, retail outlets, supermarket, transport providers, Race Club, TBR, Disabled Wintersport Australia, Olympic Winter Institute of Australia, suppliers, and everyone at the RMB. “I think we can all agree that 2022 will be a season to remember.”

BSL General Manager Noel Landry said: “It was a great season for visitation and we as an industry are now on the way to recovery from COVID years.

“The record early season snowfall was the perfect way to start, and we wrapped the 121st day on a high note with 11 lifts rolling and great skiing all the way to the summit for the close.

“There was such a good buzz all weekend for the closing with the Pond Skim, plenty of locals on the slopes, fireworks and a happy crowd making the most of the school holidays and great conditions,” Mr Landry said.

TOURISM operators around Lake Eildon have vowed to stay positive despite an admission by Goulburn Murray Water’s chairman John Dainton that the lake could close this summer.

The week began with the protest against plans to close 4WD trails at Mt Stirling and hit fever pitch with the aforementioned admission from GMW if water levels were too low.

Houseboat operator Jim Calder said there was plenty of reason to enjoy Lake Eildon this summer, optimistic of the upcoming season, saying “there’s still plenty of water.”

In sport, Warren Smith’s stellar season earned him the best and fairest at the Mansfield Eagles vote count on Sunday.

Jim Hopgood took home B&F for the thirds, and Mansfield and Delatite Cricket Club’s A grade sides both enjoyed good wins in their opening round matches at the weekend.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mansfield to Yarraglen Road WHAT can be done promptly about the state of the road from Mansfield to Yarraglen via Yea? In too many areas, the road surface is so badly degraded that it is downright dangerous in daylight, let alone after dark.

The potholes are deep enough to trap a wayward wombat.

Dodging road damage on a two-lane road with oncoming traffic and in places, centre of the road safety barriers is fraught with danger.

There are multiple signs warning of “rough surface,” and advising drivers to “slow down”

At Devlin’s Bridge the signage has been there for months.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR David beating Goliath MANSFIELD’S community fighting spirit has continued its fine tradition of standing up for and protecting what we value in our town.

Building on past successes such as saving Mount Stirling from downhill skiing lifts and reclaiming our Shire by de-amalgamating from Benalla - the recently approved ‘Mansfield Commons’ project, to be built opposite our station precinct is another success story of David beating Goliath.

Mansfield Matters Group (MMG) stood alongside the Council to save Mansfield’s township gateway approach from a multinational fast food drive-through convenience restaurant, thought to be McDonalds.

The community quickly gathered over 1000 signatures petitioning against such a proposal.

Generally the community was opposed to the inappropriate development, particularly as it was proposed

to be at our township gateway opposite the station precinct, a most sensitive land parcel, which houses so many important attractions for our town.

These include our Indigenous story, the Information Centre, the Historical Society Railway Museum, the head of the Great Victorian Rail Trail and the Mullum Wetlands.

Planning for the addition of a new Mansfield Museum on this site is well underway.

Also of significance was the concern of our local health practitioners for the health of our population, in particular younger members, with the introduction of highly processed fast food into the town, when it has been proved that regular consumption of fast food has a detrimental effect on people’s health in both the short and long term.

MMG was formed, meetings were held and donations rolled in, all across a period of Covid lockdowns which forced a good deal of remote communications.

At great expense and an enormous commitment of time, the local community pooled our talents from fundraising, letterbox dropping, door knocking, researching, lobbying and appearing in the legal forums to mobilise our response to fight this unwanted development.

Of note is that regardless of how we all felt, the matter had to be decided on planning law not just emotive views.

VCAT found in our favour rejecting the development proposal.

MMG sincerely thanks all involved in the two and a half year effort.

We want to say a big thank you for the massive support from a wide range of community members, ratepayers, groups, friends and visitors.

To those who donated money to enable our legal defences at VCAT we are most grateful.

We believe the Mansfield Commons project, which has now gained a Council permit to build on the land that the fast food drive through

wanted, is a more appropriate development for the other pillar of our gateway, enhancing our unique alpine approach to the town and the high country beyond.

At the Council meeting of 20 September, Councillor Rabie stated, “We are listening to the community.

“I think that this application respects community views.

“I am also very happy with the fact that it is also looking at our young people offering hope and education along with a lot of other things.”

Cr Rabie said he believed the applicant now understands community views.

MMG says the very clear message here for future developers is that Mansfield community stands strong for what we value to pave our way for a positive future, enhancing our Shire high country brand and community wellbeing for residents and tourists alike.

We encourage working with us to achieve great outcomes.

Greens announce Dr Cate Sinclair as candidate for Northern Victoria

THE Greens have confirmed Dr Cate Sinclair as their lead upper house candidate for Northern Victoria ahead of November’s state election.

Dr Sinclair is a health clinician and researcher who manages her own small business, and is a mother of three.

In her work, and as the recent Greens candidate for the Federal Election, she heard frequently about the pressing need for investment and action for North-

ern regional communities.

“Northern Victoria is facing direct impacts of climate change, with floods, fires and droughts,” she said.

“We need action to replace coal and gas with 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030, but Labor and the Liberals are still backing more coal and gas.

“For too long, our region has been taken for granted by the major parties.

“Investment into health, transport and housing afford-

ability hasn’t kept up with the needs of the community.

“Our communities are incredibly resilient and resourceful, and know what the solutions are.

“The northern regions are positioned to build the green industries and agriculture to meet the demand for environmentally sustainable products, jobs and services.

“The Greens will invest in our northern communities to keep our region liveable and thriving, which includes

caring for our unique natural environment.

“I will push for a more transparent government that listens to the needs of regional Victoria, and build a strong, green future for all.

“The health and biodiversity of all ecosystems in northern regional Victoria are essential to our collective future, and together with First Nations people, we can build a strong future for all, and protect and generate these ecosystems.”

GREENS CANDIDATE CONFIRMED: Dr Cate Sinclair has been selected as the Greens lead candidate for the upper house in the upcoming state election.

top community retail award

MANSFIELD’S FoodWorks supermarket has taken out a top award at the Australian United Retail awards.

They were awarded with the Most Outstanding Community Initiative at the recent national awards which were presented in Cairns on September 27 where FoodWorks and independent retailers from across the country were recognised for their hard work and commitment to fresh food.

The Most Outstanding Community Initiative award was won based on the level of support that Mansfield Store Manager, Andrew Marshall, and his team provides to the local community.

One of the key community initiatives that influenced the judges was fundraising for FightMND in memory of their Mansfield friend and colleague, May Bird.

Driven by Store Manager, Mr Marshall, and (then) As-

sistant Store Manager, Karen McGregor, and the wider team, initially raised more than $4000 for the cause throughout 2021.

They then followed this in 2022 with what has now become a tradition - wearing their beanies, selling additional ones, having sausage sizzles, raffles and collection tins available to raise as much as possible for FightMND. With the assistance of the community staff has taken the total raised to date to some $10,000.

In addition to the FightMND campaign, they are supporters and sponsors of local sports clubs including the Bonnie Doon Football and Netball Club, Mansfield Football and Netball Club, the soccer lub, Mansfield Golf Club and Mansfield charity golf day, Mansfield half marathon, Merrijig rodeo and the Mansfield races.

In addition to this, they

support and sponsor local CFA brigades, Pony Club, Mansfield American Motorcycle Club, numerous events and fundraisers at Mt Buller, the Mansfield Show, Arts Mansfield, Mansfield RSL and many more.

Mr Marshall said he was thrilled for his staff to take out this award.

“It is also all about giving back to the community,” he said.

On top of taking out the award, the Mansfield store was also nominated in the categories for best grocery, liquor and delicatessen departments.

The store took out the Victorian State award for its liquor department.

FoodWorks Mansfield employs around 120 staff and Mr Marshall has been store manager at Mansfield for the past six years but was previously employed with FoodWorks Alexandra.

A median strip for the future THE High Street median strip has received a lot of attention from council recently, with upgrades to seating, artworks, community spaces and infrastructure.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the works strategically enhanced the strip so that it was a cohesive space which looked inviting and could be enjoyed by the community throughout the year.

“It’s great to see how our community and visitors are interacting with the upgraded space,” said Cr Tehan.

“The funds we received were intended to enhance outdoor activity to benefit the many businesses in the area and we are pleased at the positive response to the upgrades.”

Mansfield Shire Council received $300,000 from the COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation fund and consulted the community to determine a set of priorities for using those funds.

“It was clear from business and community feedback that the eastern and western ends of the median strip were a priority for improvement,” said Cr Tehan.

“We’re pleased with the enthusiasm the community has shown for this project and would like to thank everyone who contributed their feedback to influence what was delivered by these projects.”

UPGRADES: The High Street median strip has received a lot of attention from council recently, with upgrades to seating, artworks, community spaces and infrastructure.

Work around the median strip includes:  Connection to sound, power and water to support community events.  The new stone amphitheatre which provides a focal point, additional seating and a space for community events.  A mural has been painted at the east end Mall.  The Torso sculpture has

been purchased as a longterm art installation.  Additional permanent bench seating and movable picnic tables.  Lawn aeration, seeding and irrigation works.  Soil stabilisation with a recycled plastic grid to improve high traffic pedestrian areas along the median strip.

Lauren McGinty, Parks

and Gardens Supervisor, said she was grateful to the Mansfield Golf Club for their partnership in enhancing the lawn on the median strip.

“We’ve been able to partner with the Mansfield Golf Club and are grateful to Superintendent Tony Cooksey for working with us and for the generous loan of their aeration machine,” she said.

“This, plus the irrigation works, will help the Parks and Gardens team maintain the vigour and health of the lawn throughout the hotter, dryer periods.

“We know it’s important to our community that the lawns are green and inviting.

“They provide a welcome entry to town and a space for the community to enjoy.”

A bump in the road COUNCIL has installed a new speed hump in Ailsa Street near the Erril Street intersection, aiming to provide a smoother, quieter passage for road users.

The speed hump in Ailsa Street was installed originally as a safety measure for nearby residents and to reduce the speed of the one-way traffic accessing the kindergarten and medical clinic.

Residents and road users had raised concerns about the height, shape and noise created by the existing hump.

The new hump was installed mid-September after council explored alternatives that could offer a quieter and more comfortable passage for drivers yet still be effective in slowing the traffic.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said that council continues to upgrade infrastructure that meets the standard expected by our community.

“Traffic calming measures encourage safer, more responsible driving on local roads and improves the safety on streets with high pedestrian activity, such as Ailsa Street,” said Cr Tehan.

“Council continues to invest in our road network to meet the increased demands of our growing community.”

Minimally invasive urological treatment comes to Mansfield

MANSFIELD District Hospital has recently approved a minimally invasive procedure to treat men suffering from Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) symptoms.

BPH is a common condition in which the prostate can enlarge as men get older.

As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra causing bothersome symptoms such as frequency to urinate day and night, weak or slow urinary stream and a sense of not being able to completely empty your bladder.

Whilst BPH is a benign condition, these symptoms can

greatly affect a man’s quality of life.

Over 2.1 million men are affected by BPH in Australia and men experiencing any of these symptoms should speak to their GP about treatment options.

Dr Mark Forbes is a urologist and founded Wangaratta Urology in 2010, offering a range of services to the wider Northeast Victorian region.

Mark consults and operates at Mansfield District Hospital.

He is well known regionally for his strong focus on individual patient needs and provides contemporary care with the newest procedures and technology, with a keen

interest in minimally invasive procedures.

Dr Forbes says that “There are several treatments for BPH,including daily medications, major surgery or a minimally invasive procedure known as Urolift,” said Dr Forbes.

“The Urolift system is an alternative for patients looking for something other than drug therapy, as Urolift is the only BPH treatment performed by a urologist that does not require heating, cutting or removal of prostate tissue and causes no sexual dysfunction.

“The Urolift procedure is a quick surgical procedure that treats BPH by lifting and

holding the enlarged prostate tissue so that it is no longer blocking the urethra.”

Dr Forbes added that the procedure is quick (20 minute average) with a fast recovery time and little to no restrictions, relieves symptoms and allows men to get back to resuming their daily activities.

The procedure is available to all men suffering from symptoms of BPH. Mansfield District Hospital was one of the first regional public hospitals in the northeast region to approve Urolift and welcomed this minimally invasive procedure having managed their first case back in March 2021.

THE Mansfield Regional Produce Store hosted another Artisans Market last Wednesday with some 18 stalls showcasing locally produced crafts.

The Produce Store, inside and along the footpath, was transformed into a vibrant creative event featuring stalls of handmade works by 18 local artisans.

“Typically this market ‘pops up’ for Christmas, but overwhelming feedback about the success of the market has prompted us to have an additional market in Spring this year”, said Produce Store owner, Gill Belle.

The kitchen, although not operating, allowed visitors to the market to buy a glass of bubbly to enjoy while perusing the eclectic range of handmade products.

“This was a great chance to pick up some early Christmas gifts or something fresh for the house,” Ms Belle said.

“And it was a great way to meet local artisans and see what everyone has been making over the winter season.”

Among the varied stalls were hand crafted iron products, finely decorated tea towels and hand knitted Christmas stars, potted plants, ceramics, jewellery, artworks, candles and much more.

Watch for news when the next Artisans Market will be held closer to Christmas.

More than 20 senior members of the community joined the ‘mad activities’ conducted by the Mad Hatter which included the most scrumptious morning tea, quizzes, bingo, competitions, lucky prizes and much more.

The hall and pathway leading to the front door were decorated by the Friends group and library staff creatingan atmosphere for what was to be a fantastic, but mad, morning.

The morning was hosted by the Friends of the Library

with support from the State Seniors Festival through Mansfield Shire Council, Mansfield Coffee Merchant and the Mansfield RSL SubBranch.

Staff from the library joined with members of the Friends of the Library to serve the morning teas and joined in the fun of the morning.

Mr Westphalen welcomed all to the morning starting with a quote from the story Alice in wonderland: “A land was full of wonder, mystery and danger.

Some say to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter, which luckily I am”.

Proceeds from the morning were donated to the Friends of the Library.

All Welcome THE ANGLICAN PARISH OF MANSFIELD

WEED SPRAYING: The local council spraying program will target blackberry and gorse.

Targeting roadside weeds and pests in Mansfield Shire

MANSFIELD and the North East are set to benefit with regional and rural councils receiving funding by the state government to prevent the spread of invasive weeds and pests on roadsides.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the government is investing through the Roadside Weeds and Pests Control Program, with the following councils included in the program:  Alpine Shire Council $23,836  Benalla Rural City Council - $40,746  Mansfield Shire Council- $26,344  Mitchell Shire Council$38,689  Murrindindi Shire Council- $35,627  Strathbogie Shire Council- $65,893  Towong Shire Council - $36,869  Rural City of Wangaratta Council $56,198

 Wodonga City Council - $10,529 Mayor James Tehan confirmed that while the council spraying program will target blackberry and gorse, contractors will also spray other nearby woody weeds.

“This will help reduce bushfire fuel loads and pressure on the shire’s agriculture and native plants,” Cr Tehan said.

“As part of Council’s three year roadside weed spraying program we’ve worked with local community groups to identify what we think are the roads that most need weed spraying.

“However, if members of the community notice roadside weeds that haven’t been sprayed recently, please call council and let us know.”

Weeds and pests cost the Victorian economy over $900 million each year by disrupting agricultural production, damaging native biodiversity, and contributing to the spread of fires.

The funding will assist

councils with a range of activities along their rural roadsides, including treating and preventing ‘regionally controlled’ and ‘restricted’ weeds, managing rabbit populations and community consultation.

‘Regionally controlled’ weeds are defined as being widespread in a region, requiring landowners to prevent their growth and spread, while ‘restricted’ weeds are considered a serious threat to all states and territories.

Weeds can be categorised differently depending on where they are in the state, for example, Ragwort is ‘Controlled’ in Corangamite, Glenelg, East and West Gippsland, Port Phillip and Western Port, ‘Prohibited’ in Goulburn and Northeast Victoria and ‘Restricted’ in Mallee, North Central Victoria and the Wimmera.

The government is investing $11.5 million over four years in the Weeds and Pests Control Program.

North East regional news in brief Shepparton locked in for Games GREATER Shepparton City Council welcomed the reveal of an action-packed program of sports.

The Commonwealth Games Federation, the Victorian Government and Commonwealth Games Australia unveiled the full Sport Program for the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games, featuring 20 sports and 26 disciplines, including nine fully integrated Para sports.

Shepparton will host a suite of cycling events - staging both men’s and women’s time trials for the road race, as well as the BMX Racing competition, with the full program of event locations to be announced in the coming weeks.

More than 100 athletes will be competing alongside hundreds of support staff, coaches and event organisers across the action-packed BMX racing competition along with thousands of spectators from across Australia and around the world.

Kyabram Fauna Park ready to welcome visitors and wildlife KYABRAM Fauna Park has officially become part of the Zoos Victoria family, with the completion of upgraded facilities.

The transition of the management of Victoria’s fourth zoo - Kyabram Fauna Park - to Zoos Victoria will see a boost in regional tourism and jobs, supported by $3 million from the state government.

A new visitor centre at Kyabram Fauna Park, refurbished Education and Conservation Centre, improved animal exhibits, predator-proof fencing and pathways mark the completion of $1.94 million in infrastructure works.

Situated on 55 hectares of parkland and wetlands in northern

Victoria, Kyabram Fauna Park has more than 600 animals, including Tasmanian devils, quolls, dingoes, koalas, kangaroos, wombats, echidna, emus and southern cassowary.

A mob of meerkats has also recently arrived.

Kyabram Fauna Park has cared for willdife and delivered conservation programs since 1979, including planting more than 7,000 trees and plants to create habitat to provide food and shelter for freeranging wildlife and encouraging the return of 35 species of birds to the local Kyabram area.

The Park, a 30-minute drive from Shepparton or Echuca, is well placed for Zoos Victoria to expand its critical wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and conservation work in northern Victoria, utilising the expertise and experience of the Kyabram Fauna Park team.

Driver enters guilty plea over Cribbes Road chaos A DRIVER who left a trail of destruction along Cribbes Road earlier this year has escaped conviction, after his inattention saw him leave the roadway and severely damage four parked vehicles.

The 26-year-old Wangaratta man faced Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court on Monday, pleading guilty to a number of driving charges and a charge of conduct endangering life, after his decision to look at a maps application on his phone saw him collide with a tree, a joining fence, water mains and two parked cars in the early hours of March 17.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Heath Dosser said the force of the collision had pushed one car parked on the home’s nature strip sideways into another, with the accused’s Toyota Camry then careening forward causing damage to cars parked in the home’s carport.

The court heard two loud bangs were heard following

EXCITING NEWS: (From left) Greater Shepparton City Council, Deputy Mayor Cr Anthony Brophy, with BMX athletes Zac Brown and Austin McNair, BMX Hall of Fame and Shepparton athlete, Leigh Egan, Greater Shepparton City Council, Mayor Cr Shane Sali and Hunter Fitzsimmons, with Levi Brown on his BMX. damage to the water mains of the neighbouring homes, before the accused attempted to reverse and drive away from the scene, heading towards Murdoch Road.

Partial plates were cited to the police, who tracked the vehicle to a Wangaratta home, where it was found exhibiting severe exterior damage and a hot engine.

The accused was promptly arrested and conveyed to Wangaratta Police Station, where an evidentiary breath test indicated the accused had not been drinking prior to the crash.

Defence counsel Raheel Arshad said his client had acted out of “fear and sudden panic” in attempting to leave the scene, after allegedly hearing of savage beatings for similar offending in his home country.

It was the defendant’s first criminal or driving matter before the court.

Magistrate Peter Mithen said the accused had been fortunate to avoid a tragic outcome, and imposed a fine of $1000 without conviction.

A $641 compensation order was also made out to North East Water, for the replacement of the damaged water mains.

Arsonist set pergola alight A POREPUNKAH woman who committed arson at a Seamer Street home did so as an act of retaliation towards its residents, a court has heard.

Jesslyn Ellis, 40, faced Wangaratta Magistrates Court on Thursday, pleading guilty to charges of criminal damage with fire and reckless conduct endangering life, after she used diesel to ignite a pergola and two motorbikes at the residence in the early hours of January 14.

Police prosecutor Constable Victoria Lennon said the victim had awoken to flames outside her bedroom window, quickly exiting the home and alerting emergency service crews.

Detectives were said to have located traces of diesel along an exterior wall of the home, while the court heard jerry cans had been in the vicinity of the two motorcycles, which were valued at $5000 each.

The blaze reportedly caused upwards of $25,000 in damage.

Ellis was arrested on February 17, making full admissions to police CONVEYANCING

Euroa Health’s chief executive officer Cherree Hunter and chairman Linsey Siede met with Member for Euroa Steph Ryan, Nationals candidate Annabelle Cleeland and Deputy Leader of the Nationals Emma Kealy.

During the meeting, a commitment was made to secure the long-term future of Euroa Health if the Nationals are elected into government this November.

In her final speech to parliament last week, retiring MP Steph Ryan tabled a petition bearing 1525 signatures which called for urgent government support.

and stated she had lit the fire as a result of a conflict between her and her victim’s children.

Cnst Lennon said police had noted Ellis had not appeared remorseful of her actions.

She also pleaded guilty to lighting a fire in the bin of her former partner, an offence linked to what was a violent domestic relationship.

Defence counsel Graeme Davis said his client had become an alcoholic in her 20s, and despite periods of sobriety, had fallen into heavy drinking following a “manipulative, abusive and violent” relationship with a former partner in recent times.

Both motorbikes were said to have been replaced through money raised by a community go-fund-me initiative.

Mr Davis sought a corrections order for the offending, however, Cnst Lennon said similar arson offending resulted in imprisonment in 56.5 per cent of cases.

Magistrate Peter Mithen agreed, sentencing Ellis to five months imprisonment.

Radio Mansfield invites aspiring DJs to orientation day

What’s On Regular Events

BUSY BEES: Ian Todd a and Keith Rogers at a recent working bee at Radio Mansfield.

RADIO Mansfield is holding an orientation day on October 22 for members of the community who would like to get involved.

As the local broadcaster emerges from the last couple of years with a refreshed presenter pool, funding for radio theatre script workshops, an increase in entries to the Chris Deutscher Memorial Music Scholarship, and a new listener survey, they are keen to show interested locals how to get involved as a member, volunteer or presenter.

Radio Mansfield is the district’s emergency broadcaster, providing official news and advice during times of emergency.

Updates to infrastructure

in recent years have extended the station’s broadcast reach, to cover Woods Point and Tolmie as well their existing Mansfield broadcast area.

Beyond emergency broadcasting, Radio Mansfield plays an important role connecting the community, with interviews and community service announcements.

“As a community radio station, we’re more than emergency broadcasters,” said Miriam Zolin, committee president.

“Our charter includes building connections with the community; Radio Mansfield is a place to hear local stories as well as music and radio plays written and performed by locals.”

The station is inviting residents of Mansfield Shire and surrounding areas to attend an orientation day on October 22 and find out more about how to get involved.

“We’ve realised that many new and long-term residents don’t know how easy it is to be part of Mansfield community radio or even have their own weekly show,” said Ms Zolin.

“Getting behind the microphone and being part of your local radio station is easier than you think.

“Once people get the community radio bug, they’re hooked.

“Some of our best presenters are people who never imagined doing it, and now they’re playing their favour-

ite music and doing a fantastic job of keeping the community connected.”

The radio station is also looking for members of the local community to complete a listener survey.

“The survey is an important way for us to find out what people love about what we’re doing, and what they’d like us to do differently,” said Ms Zolin.

“This year we have great prizes provided by a local business too, so we’d encourage everyone to complete the survey, even if they’re not a regular listener.”

Mansfield Community Radio broadcasts on 99.7 FM in Mansfield, 88.7 FM in Tolmie and 90.1 FM in Woods Point.

Come one, come all to St John’s fete ONE of Mansfield’s best and biggest annual events is about to take place again on Saturday, October 15.

The St John’s Fete is to be held at the Highett Street hall and grounds starting at 9am and going through to 12.30pm.

Among the many stalls will be the fantastic garden supplies with plants and cow manure available.

Bags of manure can be delivered locally.

Within the St John’s Hall will be a giant book sale - a huge collection of adults and children’s fiction and non-fiction at very cheap prices.

Also on sale will be a range of

craft work - all hand-worked items made by members and friends of St John’s, as well as produce; popular jams, chutneys, cordials etc.

For those who may be hungry there will be a delicious barbecue and morning teas with home-made slices and cakes.

The main raffle on the day will include a wheelbarrow filled with garden implements as the main prize.

St John’s fete is a great day out and the chance to meet up with friends and family; enjoy the morning under the oak tree or in the hall.

All welcome - no entry fee.

CRAFTY GIFTS: Beautifully hand made craft will be available at the St John’s fete - think about Christmas presents early.

WORTH HIS WEIGHT AND SOLD: Lot 5, “Alpine 38 Special”, sold for $120,000 and will be headed to a property in Western Australia.

THE FAMILY’S BIDDING: Andy and Julie Gerrand enjoyed the Alpine Angus bull sale with their children (from left) Archer, Ella and Jessica. The family had travelled over 300km for the event.

PHOTOS: Andy Wilson

DUST UP: Alpine Angus manager Chris Oswin watches on as “Alpine Main Event S045” stirs up the auction ring.

Bullish buyers’ big bidding $120,00 tops p sale, l , with i h 60 b bulls ll sold ld at average g off $15,517

By ANDY WILSON THE bidding was fast and a new record price set for a single bull at the Alpine Angus spring bull sale at Rosewhite recently.

More than 120 buyers and spectators jammed the stands at the property along with online buyers to see 60 bulls go under the hammer.

Alpine Angus manager Chris Oswin said it had been a busy time in preparation and he was pleased with the day’s outcome, with all bulls sold at an overall average of $15,517.

The sale price for “Alpine 38 Special” set a new record of $120,000 and the bull was headed for a property west of Esperance in Western Australia.

Siobhan Cowan from Arkle Angus near Esperance said they chose the bull on a visit six weeks earlier and were pleased with the purchase.

“He has an exceptional phenotype and structure, and a good balance of numbers which completes the

package,” she said.

However, according to Alpine Angus owner Jim Delany, such a record sale price can be a double edged sword.

“Naturally such a high price for a single bull is going to raise our average sale price mathematically, but that does not properly reflect a better estimate of the majority of prices that eventuated,” Mr Delany said.

“While it is great that

some interstate studs recognise where our program sits in the industry, our core business is to local producers.

“So we want local farmers to know that our stock represent pretty good value for money despite a couple of sales inflating the average.”

Another balancing act that Mr Oswin perfects each year is producing high numbers of bulls but not at the expense of their breeding quality and structure.

Mr Delany said that Mr Oswin was careful in producing the right combination to achieve this.

“All credit goes to Chris,” he said.

“That balance is not easy to get and yet he achieves that balance.”

Andy and Julie Gerrand brought their three children from Longford and were hoping to buy some bulls for their 220-head property.

The family capitalised on

the school holidays to make the trip a family event, particularly as all three children are active in the running of their farm.

“We just like the look of the Alpine bulls,” Mr Gerrand said.

“We produce yearlings and wieners, so we want early growth and low birthweight,” he said.

Ms Gerrand said it was their second trip to the twice-yearly sale.

“We have had a good run this year with the bulls we bought last year,” she said.

WHIP-CRACKING GOOD TIME: Mansfield local Stewart Bryant recently demonstrated his whipcracking prowess at the Old Days Festival in Barellan, New south Wales. One of the nation’s biggest gatherings of draught animals the festival took place over October 1 and 2, with record attendance after a two year hiatus. More than 10,000 visitors from every Australian state embraced the event, which celebrates pioneer heritage.

FULLY treated wastewater from Goulburn Valley Water’s Bonnie Doon, Seymour, Kilmore, Euroa, Violet Town and Broadford wastewater management facilities will be released over the coming weeks.

The wastewater storage lagoons at these locations have reached capacity as a result of recent sustained heavy rainfall.

Releases will occur as required at each system which

includes Lake Eildon at Bonnie Doon, Seymour’s Back Creek, Kilmore Creek, One Mile Creek at Violet Town, Sunday Creek at Broadford and Castle Creek at Euroa.

Releases are expected to be around 0.2 to 4ML per day, depending on which waterway the release is happening at.

GVW’s Wastewater and Recycling Coordinator, Stuart Harris said, “discharging excess

fully treated wastewater from our storages helps to reduce any potential for uncontrolled overflows and helps to protect infrastructure.”

Mr Harris said releases will continue until climatic conditions improve and irrigation can begin at the facilities.

The water being released has been fully treated and meets Class C standards.

“We’ve informed the EPA of

these releases and will work closely with them to ensure we monitor for any unexpected impacts on the environment,” Mr Harris said.

“Strict water quality monitoring processes remain in place to protect the health of local communities and environments.”

If people have any questions, they can call GVW’s 24/7 Customer Service Centre on 1800 454 500.

Namibia too strong for Scots

By WILLSON MACK NAMIBIA downed Scotland comprehensively on Saturday to wrap up the T20 World Cup warm-up matches in Wangaratta.

Scotland posted 132 before Namibia chased the total down with seven overs to spare in the 20 over format.

Although no play went ahead on Wednesday and Thursday due to wet weather, spectators were still treated to international cricket on Saturday, with council backing helping make the free event a great spectacle.

Both the Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades academies were scheduled to play on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Barr Reserve was in terrific condition with a stunning white picket fence surrounding the oval to put the cherry on top.

City Colts captain and curator Mitch Giggins was stoked with the week.

“It was pretty surreal hosting an event of international standard,” he said.

“It rained during the week and then the rain on Friday nearly did us over for Saturday but some sunlight on Saturday morning got us over the line.

“Saturday’s game really topped the week off.”

City Colts were all hands on deck on Saturday morning getting the ground up for the warm-up clash.

“We had 30-odd people

from the club helping out with covers and super soakers,” Giggins said.

“We were there from 7am pushing the super soakers around to get all the water off the ground.

“Heaps of work was involved but it was definitely worth it in the end.”

Giggins is hopeful his club has shown enough to host other big events in the future.

“We were given the chance and I thought we nailed it so hopefully we can host other events in the future,” he said.

“It’s be great to get state games or premier league warm-ups or something to the area.

“The whole week is a credit to everyone involved.”

MANSFIELD women looking to put on their footy boots won’t have to travel too far for a kick.

The Wangaratta Football Netball Club is looking towards the future of Australian Rules football.

Like many local clubs around Australia, the Magpies are looking to introduce a women’s team to their football netball club.

The proposed team will play in the North East’s Female Football League, against the likes of arch-rivals Wangaratta Rovers who have gathered plenty of numbers since joining the league two years ago.

Wangaratta’s Russell Canning is looking forward to introducing some new female sides.

“We’re seeking expressions of interests from both players and coaches regarding a new female team,” Canning said.

“We’re hoping to field at least one age group if not all so if you’re interested email footballsops@wangmagpies. com.au.

“We feel like a female team will really add to our club, especially considering we’re building standalone female change rooms that we’re hoping to have done before the start of the season.

“We’re going to be the only club to have female changerooms for footballers which is a really big thing.”

Along with the current football and netball club, the Magpies also have an all-abilities team - the Merriwa Magpies.

“We’ve got men’s teams, netball teams and an all-abilities team so we feel like a female team will really round out the club,” Canning said.

“We did have a female team a few years ago but that folded so we’re really keen to get another one up and running.

“There seems to be plenty of girls interested in playing football so hopefully we can get a few teams together.”

Mansfield Little Athletics is back MANSFIELD Little Athletics Club has a strong heritage and has provided a wonderful avenue for juniors to get into the sport and increase their fitness since 1972.

“Athletics is a sport for everyone and one of the few sports you can get everyone doing something at the same time,” said coach Liam Delany.

“I’m encouraging parents and anyone who wants to get fit to come along to our training sessions, because concurrently we’ll have an adult session where they can participate while I’m taking the kids.”

Little Athletics started in Geelong over 50 years ago and now has 100

centres across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria.

It’s an athletics program for five to 15 year olds to compete weekly with their friends, and gets them active with different forms of running, jumping and throwing.

“The variety is the key and that’s the beauty of athletics,” said Liam.

“It’s about those fundamentals of running, jumping and throwing, but you can do that in so many different ways.”

The community-oriented, year round sport is broken into a summer and winter season, with an evolving program to complement the changes

in weather and age groups as kids get older and more physically capable.

Little Athletes have one goal during the year and that’s to achieve their own personal bests.

Mansfield Little Aths is back for 2022/2023.

Head on down to Lords Oval for registration day on Friday, October 14 at 4:45pm.

The season runs for 15 weeks through to the end of March 2023.

Training sessions are on Monday at 5pm and competition nights are on Friday.

Ultimate Frisbee comes to the northeast

ULTIMATE FRISBEE: The national Ultimate Frisbee Mixed Ultimate Championships are taking place at Shepparton from Friday October 7 through to Sunday, Ocotober 16.

ULTIMATE Frisbee athletes across Australia are taking part in the Mixed Ultimate Championships at Shepparton’s Sports City Precinct over two weekends.

The national level event pits the country’s top teams against each other for a three day competition with 13 teams from division one playing off from Friday, October 7 and 32 teams from division two the following weekend from Friday, October 14.

The tournament is expected to see more than 900 competitors and their support networks

stay in Shepparton for the combined three day events.

Hosting some of the best Frisbee players in Australia is an exciting new experience for the community said Mayor of Greater Shepparton, Shane Sali.

“We are very excited to welcome Australia’s top Ultimate Frisbee athletes to Greater Shepparton, the capital of all sporting events,” Cr Sali said.

“The mixed championships will see the very best male and female competitors using their strength and agility to sprint, leap and throw their

way to victory, a lot more thrilling than your average backyard or park game.

“Ultimate Frisbee is a growing sport and we are proud to host them.”

The Mixed Ultimate Championships will be held at Shepparton’s Sports City Precinct and free for all spectators to attend.

Ultimate has existed in Australia since the 1970s with the Mixed National Championships starting in 1988.

The Australian Mixed Ultimate Championships is a national level event that pits the country’s top teams against each other in a peak competition

across three days of competition.

The event runs annually in October and is the focal point of mixed-gender ultimate in Australia.

This year the top 13 club teams from around Australia have qualified through State Championships to battle it out for the national title.

National selectors will be in attendance and may issue invites to the national selection events being held in Melbourne in November for the Asian Oceanic Ultimate Championships taking place in 2023 and World U24 Ultimate Championships.

Men’s golf springs into action

By LAURIE HARCUS

LEAGUE’S BEST: Erin Brond brought home the league best and fairest award for C grade polling 28 votes ahead of the runner up on 23 - a huge achievement.

Erin’s strong season earns nomination WHAT a season for junior star Erin Brond, who is the Sportsperson of the Year nominee for the month of August.

Erin brought home the league best and fairest award for C grade polling 28 votes ahead of the runner up on 23 - a huge achievement.

Erin showed outstanding form and leadership in 2022, leading her team into finals after finishing the season in second place.

The 17 and under side unfortunately went down in overtime after the comeback of a lifetime 52 - 45.

Erin then deservedly received the club best and fairest award, capping off a brilliant season.

In addition to her netball talents, Erin has also played for Delatite Cricket Club’s Under 16 team and with Delatite’s B Grade side, after a Christmas present of a cricket bat and ball a couple of years ago inspired her to try her hand at the sport.

A talented sportsperson with a bright future, and a deserved August nominee for Rotary’s Sportsperson of the Year award.

CLUB’S BEST: Erin then deservedly received the club best and fairest award, capping off a brilliant season.

MAJOR SPONSOR:

Mansfield Pharmacy, Cathy Henry

SITUATED as we are on the plains surrounded by nearby mountain ranges and rivers we are able to view the majestic vista from our golf course.

This enables us to enjoy the scenery at least if a bad round is being had.

Tuesday - Stableford: 25 players in one division.

1st - Maurie Walsh 41 pts (h/c 10) 2nd - Jim Sullivan 39 pts (h/c 20) 3rd - Alan Eustace 36 pts (h/c 14) A good Tuesday field in fine but soft conditions.

Not enough praise can be rained upon our club treasurer Maurie, the epitome of consistency.

He played to a five handicap despite having eased a couple of shots over winter.

Magnifico.

Excellent result also for Jim Sullivan one of the Elvins St gang.

A score that would have been a winner in many competitions.

Nice to see Alan Eustace back on the leader board.

He is regularly adjusting his swing.

He must have got it correct at this stage.

Shane O’Brien is back after a little ‘hiccup’ straight back into form with two NTPs. Thursday - Stableford: two divisions - 41 players.

A Grade 1st - Alex Scherini 43 pts (h/c 9)

2nd - Bob Cullen 35 C/B (h/c 14) 3rd - Rob Fankhauser 35 pts (h/c 15) A marvellous achievement for Alex a real ‘day out’, one of our regular winners.

Playing to a two handicap is exceptional and puts him well into our elite low handicap group.

Well done to Bob and Rob, albeit nine shots behind our leader.

Both have returned to our fold after being north for an extended time.

B Grade 1st - Adrian Cheer 38 pts (h/c 36); 2nd - Dave McKenzie 34 pts (h/c 29); 3rd - Shane Brook 33 pts (h/c 18) A fine inaugural win for Adrian in golf his new venture.

Listen to Adrian who accompanies David Octigan on local radio eight to ten AM Friday mornings.

A solid performance for board member David.

Shan we lauded last week; he continues with his good form.

Saturday - Stableford: one division - 25 players.

1st - Tom Dunstan 40 pts (h/c 22) 2nd - Joel Sanford 39 pts (h/c 11) 3rd - Will Christopher 36 pts (h/c 21) A relatively small field, of course no carts and heavy conditions; we oldies can’t do it day in and out walking.

For many of us it was so lovely to see our young guns fill the top three placings.

They already have relatively low handicaps, watch those dissipate over summer.

We can’t wait to see that.

I guess young Tom’s win was not a surprise, he is an absolute competitor, a good footballer, lives on the course and earned pocket money by collecting practice balls.

Joel 11 handicap played to single figures well done, one shot behind, the banter in their group must have been amazing.

Will has, as his brother Ben has, been occupying editorial space for quite a while.

Remember these names.

For people even mildly interested in having a game of golf, Wednesday afternoon nine-hole comp is the go, from four PM, $5, nine-hole comp, you can win prizes, ladies, men, young, old all welcome, plus a free wine or beer.

No handicap - you do now.

No clubs - you do now.

No skill - it doesn’t matter.

Just keep smiling and meet some nice people.

The photos of young Billy Ploschke launching a ‘back somersault’ into the sand bunker demonstrates the versatility of bunkers whose normal role is to trap unwary golfers and frustrate them.

Billy was one of approximately 70 youngsters who were enjoying the Sunday session where kids eat free.

Impressive young man.

Premier League fires up in ladies golf A GOOD field of 10 ladies turned out for golf on Tuesday and given the glorious conditions, it was none too surprising.

What a pleasure for the fairways to be drying out nicely and for us to have a bit of run.

There is no denying one in the field had, well, quite a field day.

Last week, Linda Terry (sorry, yes, this writer) managed to win 18 holes in heavy conditions with 26 points.

Hold onto that number... the winner today... very boring I know, but it was Linda Terry, with 24 points.

The only minor difference, was that this was for just nine holes.

What a difference a week (and some sunshine) makes.

Runner up on this lovely day was Marion Sargent with a very commendable 17 points.

Come Wednesday the conditions once again were taking another dive and the forecast for rain dire.

But Premier League had the desired effect of promoting commitment to turn up, in the interests of the team and nearly all players did just that, donned in their rain gear.

There is no doubt the conditions had deteriorated, but the rain wasn’t as bad as expected.

Glenis Skinner handled the conditions with aplomb

WET AGAIN: A familiar situation in this exceptionally wet season: (from left) Louise Calvert-Jones, Jackie Smithwick and Sue Parsons take it in their stride. and won the day and Div 2 with 32 points.

Only one shot behind on 31 was the winner of A Grade, Sue Parsons.

Runner up in Div 1 was Sue Crow with 30 points on a countback to 3rd place Sheryl Sargent.

In Div 2, runner up was Patsy Smiles with 27 points, again on a countback from Lesley Anderson.

Sam Bailey and Jenny Foster both won line balls, also with 27 points, and the nearest the pins went to Glenis Skinner (3rd), Sam Bailey (7th), Lyn Poulson (16th) and Andrea Marsden (3rd shot on the 18th).

Then there were those Premier League results.

The Happy Hookers were victorious against the KLS Sloggers 53-51.

The Ball Busters had a

good win over the Nug Nugs 57-42.

The Tee Party managed to beat the Underdogs 44-41 despite only having one player and having to take the phantom lowest score as their second.

But all thanks to Sue Parsons for her winning score.

The Wedgies comprehensively beat the Spring Chickens 59-43, but don’t be fooled into thinking the latter team are actually the youngsters.

Lastly, the Out of Towners were suitably shocked to find that their less than impressive scores did actually get them a win against the Long Putters 52-49.

Then came Saturday and after yet more rain in the preceding days, it seems all the girls sensibly stayed home rather than donning their gumboots yet again.

DUAL WINS: Linda Terry, in fine form, took out two wins this week.

Junior tennis returns

By JOANNE O’BRIEN

JUNIOR TENNIS COMP: Only four games separated our Section 2b players (from left) Ava Mahoney, Noah Kayssar, Kiara Brackman and Max O’Laughlan.

IT was great to see the sun come out on Saturday morning for the first week of the Mansfield Junior Tennis Competition.

Getting straight down to business was our Section One players with Harry Yencken taking out the morning with 12 games over fellow competitors Archie O’Brien, Hamish Yencken and Seb Walker.

Welcoming many new participants, the highest game winners of Sections

2a and 2b were Josh O’Brien and Max O’Loughlan both achieving 15 games each.

A special mention must also go to Will Anderson and Kiara Brackman who both came a very close second achieving 14 games each after many close matches.

With great appreciation to our parent supporters who assisted with scoring our Section 3a and 3b beginner players all completed their first matches of the season.

We look forward to seeing these children develop their skills over the season as they

are encouraged to play independently.

The Mansfield Junior Tennis Competition has been designed to encourage enjoyment and skill development in young participants ages eight - under 18.

The competition has been structured to allow for players to miss a week without letting team mates down and join the competition at any stage of the season.

So if you missed the first week or have commitments that don’t allow you to come every week, that’s okay.

RETURN OF THE CYCLIST: Mansfield Mt Buller Cycling Club held its first club race of the season on Thursday evening.

A perfect introduction

By RYDER CHADD AFTER the usual winter hiatus from racing, allowing mother nature to give Mansfield many millimeters of rain, Mansfield Mt Buller Cycling Club held its first club race of the season on Thursday evening.

Conditions were perfect with the rain holding out all day allowing the roads to be safe and dry.

A light northeasterly breeze gave the riders just enough of a headwind for the first half of the race on the Mansfield-Whitfield

Road to sort out who’d been doing their pre-season training and who’d been in a good paddock.

With entries opening up from Monday to Wednesday for racing Thursday, not knowing if it was going to be wet or dry, numbers were modest, made up mostly of weathered die-hards and one new comer.

The 15 riders for the evening were sent out in the staggered format of the handicap - sent out at 16, 14, eight, four minutes and scratch.

First to go was Tony

Morris at 16 minutes.

The first bunch made up by John Eisner, David Jagger, Micala Jacobs and Ryder Chadd turned out to be the perfect introduction to road racing that anyone could ask for, with John taking Ryder under his wing with tips and hints to keep him and his fellow riders safe and fast to the turnaround before sending Ryder in his way.

Micala and David were dropped to complete their ‘timed social ride’ without incident.

Craig Wilson, Ian Conrick

and Jason Parker made up the next group, sent out at eight minutes.

Darren Bakker, Mick Pearce, Janine Appleton and Rob Skinner followed not so closely at four minutes and the final three fastest riders, Steve Brown, Steve Duke and Dave Moore were off scratch.

The field did their time into the headwind out to the turn-around point at Sawpit Gully Road with groups starting to catch up to others around the three quarter mark of about 18km.

You know the handicapper has done

a decent job when the majority of the field finishes within a few minutes of each other.

The exception was Ryder who finished well clear.

A gaggle of riders then finished within three minutes of each other with Bakker (2nd) and Skinner (3rd) rounding out the podium.

Fastest for the evening was Steve Duke at 42m 49sec.

In a change of club communication policy, from now on second place each week will be given

the ‘honour’ of writing the week’s race round up.

But as Ryder won so easily, the policy change was postponed for a week as a ‘reward’.

As always, a big thank you to our volunteer marshals and commissaries and to the Mansfield Hotel for donations and hosting presentations.

Next week’s race will be around the Barwite Loop; online entries open on Monday morning and close Wednesday night - go to www.mmbcc.org.au for more details.

Every business is different and so are the risks they face...
