fractured two years of stopstart competition across the district.

Nominees from various months in 2020 and 2021 were combined into what

would normally be an annual presentation, and seamlessly glued together by the mellifluous and humorous stylings of MC Craig Willis.

Cricket featured heavily in the night’s proceedings, with a number of Delatite Cricket Club players, their Under 14s side, and club president

Peter Scales receiving nominations, alongside Merton Cricket Club’s Bernie Cummins, who’s been instrumental in the club’s recent resurrection.

Bonnie Doon Football and Netball Club’s great form was also on display, with individual nominations going to footballer Sean

Campitelli and netballer Mia Tanner, alongside a team nomination for their senior footy side.

Bernie Cummins took home the Sports Club Person of the Year award for his ongoing work behind the scenes, showing cricket is alive and well in Merton.

But otherwise the show was

stolen by sports often in the periphery of the ever-popular staples of cricket and football.

Young gun Connor Gibney-Schelfhout took out the Encouragement Award for his excellence in archery, and star mountain biker Ruby Dobson won the Junior Sportsperson of the Year.

FORTY six local community projects in the electorate of Indi will receive funding under the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants program.

Projects across the whole electorate are receiving approximately $25.4 million, bringing the total funding Indi has received for bushfire recovery to approximately $120 million.

More than $1.5 million will be awarded to projects in Mansfield Shire alongside broader funding across a number of local government areas (LGAs) which will also flow into Mansfield Shire.

The grants will fund a broad range of recovery and resilience projects, from social and community wellbeing through to projects designed to support local jobs, small businesses and infrastructure.

Australia’s A t li ’ 2019/2020 bushfire season was the most destructive on record.

By the end of the season in March 2020, bushfires had burnt approximately 19.4 million hectares across the country, killing 35 people, destroying 3094 homes, 7000 outbuildings, and severely impacting innumerable businesses and organisations.

“It was important that we funded projects based on need and merit and which offered a lasting and tangible impact, tailored to local needs and conditions,” said Senator for Victoria, Bridget McKenzie.

“The quality of the projects funded shows that our ‘locally led’ approach works.

“We understand that recovery from bushfires takes time, and we will continue to support impacted communities through their recovery.”

Dr H Helen Haines, said IIndi, di D l H i id communities in the electorate were devastated by the bushfires, and the recovery process has been further hampered by the pandemic.

“Successful projects in Indi show how complex bushfire recovery is,” said Dr Haines.

“Communities need infrastructure that will serve us in times of emergency.

“At other times, we need projects that respond to the mental health needs postbushfire and build community resilience.

“Over the long term, we need infrastructure projects that boost tourism to support economic recovery.

“I look forward to seeing the difference this funding will make across Indi, helping communities heal, be better prepared for future emergencies, rebuild infrastructure and improve facilities and attractions.”

BLACK SUMMER RECOVERY: Senator for Victoria, Bridget McKenzie, said it was important that the government funded projects based on need and merit and which offered a lasting and tangible impact, tailored to local needs and conditions.

From page 2 Almost $1.9 million was also awarded to projects in Alpine Resorts - including Mount Buller - which were previously excluded from eligibility until Dr Haines advocated on their behalf.

Mansfield’s projects include the Racecourse Emergency Evacuation Site ($61,584), Building Community Resilience through a Benchmarking Approach ($276,300), High Country Arena ($310,326), TYU Youth Theatre Renewable Project ($74,200), McCormack Park Upgrade Mansfield ($567,000), Jamieson Community Energy Node ($108,300) and Young Men, Old Mountains and Women of the Wild Mansfield ($124,210).

Broader funding across multiple LGAs which will also flow

into Mansfield Shire and Mount Buller include the Disaster Recovery and Climate Change Adaptation Leadership Program ($217,775), Bogong Group Bushfire Resilience Power Project ($580,808), North East Victoria Youth LEAD ($173,100), Gravel Cycling Tourism Activation ($1,460,260) and Future Proof: Young People, Disaster Recovery and (Re)building Communities ($9,933,315).

Mansfield Shire mayor James Tehan said the funding provided a much-needed boost to the community’s ongoing recovery.

“Council is proud to have partnered with many of the grant recipients and grateful for the injection of funds into our local economy,” said Cr Tehan.

“We know our communities have a strong and resilient character.

“These funds will shape our recovery and resilience, provide welcome economic activity and allow us to strengthen the resilience of our communities in preparation for bushfire and other disasters.”

As part of the program, Mansfield Shire Council has been awarded $276,300 in direct funding to deliver an innovative project that builds disaster resilience in our smaller communities.

Council will appoint a funded position for the two-year project, which will work directly with at-risk communities to benchmark their disaster risk and resilience.

The Red Cross also welcomed the news, as it was announced they were set to receive over $7.2 million under the grants program.

“

“This builds on our existing recovery program that’s been made possible by generous donors and expands our current work in over 40 LGAs,” said Red Cross head of emergency services, Andrew Coghlan.

“To date, recovery teams have provided support for 67,764 people affected by the bushfires, through one to one support, workshops, at community events and with information and referrals.

“To continue to meet the need of bushfire-affected individuals and communities we will provide psychosocial support and community recovery services alongside support for local government, recovery workers, formal and informal community leaders and groups.”

BIG WIN: Karen Pirie from MMuDS with her Georgy Award for wardrobe design.

PHOTO: Jarrah Loh

Clark Real

Estate

MANSFIELD’S Karen Pirie has done it again, winning herself yet another Georgy Award for her outstanding on-stage costume design.

This is Karen’s third consecutive win in a row for Achievement in Wardrobe Design, this time for her work on MMuDS’ Black Adder II. The last two wins came for Seussical the Musical, and Jekyll and Hyde.

For Blackadder II, the greatest focus for Karen was ensuring everything was period correct (Elizabethan era) and making sure each character’s dress would contrast to the set.

“The other major thing is of course designing for personality,” said Karen.

“If you are designing for Blackadder himself, who is almost too cool, so he is dark, against someone like Percy who is flamboyant, then there is Baldrick who would have no dress sense at all and could not afford anything even if he did - so the costuming must fit to the character and the set, and then to the actor.”

Luckily, Karen was also the set designer, so she knew exactly what to play against.

But being in a small town production also means using what you have - especially during a pandemic lockdown.

“Dark pink was perfect for the Queen’s room - and the main reason was because someone gave us all these dark pink curtains,” she said.

“You have to do a lot of thinking and planning and

BY JARRAH LOH jloh@ nemedia.com.au

then be lucky enough to find the fabrics in MMuDS or the op-shop - most of the stuff is made out of doonas and curtains and anything else we can find.”

Karen physically made all the costumes herself during lockdown.

“It was particularly challenging this time because of COVID,” she said.

“I quickly got all the measurements of cast I could and used the ones I had on file for others - and told them not to put on any weight.

“Then I would have to get it to them to try on and ask them to take a photo wearing it, and that’s how I had to work it.

“So after all that it felt great to win this year.

“And because the judging went a lot longer than usual there was even more competition, so I’m very happy about it and what Mansfield can do.

“These are the only awards in the North East, and we were nominated for several things, but it feels really good to get one, as everyone works so hard on it.”

The Georgy Awards recognise local theatrical excellence and have been held out of the Goulburn Valley and surrounds since 1973.

The awards are named in memory of George Pullar who was involved in all facets of theatre in Shepparton and the district in the 1950s and 1960s.

From page 1 Representing golf, Mansfield’s Ladies Division 2 Pennant team fought off stiff competition to claim the Sports Team of the Year award, after they capped off a stellar season by winning their final against Wodonga at Bright in April last year.

But it was Marty Kelly who hit the bullseye once again to win his second Sportsperson of the Year accolade for his standout recent performances in the sport of rifle shooting.

“I’m a little bit speechless,” said Mr Kelly, who’d swapped the full metal jacket for a dapper navy blue suit and an elegant silver badge on the evening.

“It’s an honour to be recognised for doing a sport that I love.

“And I’ll probably just keep shooting bullets until the day I die,” he laughed.

Mr Kelly has hit a purple patch of late, notching up wins and gaining selection in the National F-Class team, on which he will represent Australia at

EAGLE-EYE: Mansfield Golf Club president David Octigan presents Marty Kelly with his second Sportsperson of the Year award. the World Championships in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

He’s also recently competed in five State Queen’s Prize events across the country.

Junior Sportsperson of the Year, Ruby Dobson, was unable

to attend the night as she’s currently competing in Tasmania, but was thrilled to receive the news of her win from her mother, Megan Dunn.

“Ruby is very pleased to have won Junior Sportsperson of

the Year and she was sorry she couldn’t be here,” said Ms Dunn upon receiving the award on her daughter’s behalf.

Ms Dunn outlined Ms Dobson’s stellar recent form on the bike, having won the U19 Women’s 2021/22 Mountain Bike VIC State Championship in early February and placed an impressive sixth in the U19 Road Nationals event held in January in Ballarat (her first official road race).

Ms Dobson is also now a member of the women’s team ROXSALT LIV SRAM, competing across the disciplines of mountain bike, road and cycle cross.

The evening ended with a moving speech from Mick Walker, son of George Walker, who started the awards and whose name adorns the memorial shield, and acknowledges past winners such as Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin, footballer Josh Fraser, Olympians Hayley Wilson and Catherine Skinner, and inaugural winner Bill Parsons, who was also in attendance on the night.

Milestone first fish stocking from new native hatchery THE first native fish produced at the new Arcadia hatchery near Shepparton are now ready to be released into waterways across Victoria, with the Goulburn River receiving the maiden stocking.

Set to improve freshwater fishing opportunities and get more people fishing, more often, the $7 million Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) hatchery is a key focus of the state government’s $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan.

More than 10,000 golden perch fingerlings are being stocked into the Goulburn River, marking the start of a new era of native fish production to complement VFA’s other fish hatchery at Snobs Creek, near Eildon.

“Seeing the first fish stocked locally into the Goulburn River less than 12 months after the first sod was turned at Arcadia signals a strong future for fishing in Victoria,” said Minister for Fishing and Boating Melissa Horne.

“The Arcadia hatchery will give the VFA greater capacity to produce more native fish and continue our record-breaking stocking program that is improving recreational fishing right across the state.”

The Arcadia hatchery is set on 170 hectares on the banks of the Goulburn River and includes 32 ponds, 20 of which are plankton ponds growing newly hatched larvae into fingerlings for release.

The remaining 12 ponds will hold parent Murray cod and

golden perch called broodfish, from which the eggs are sourced each breeding season.

When the hatchery is operating at full capacity, it will produce up to 1.6 million native fish annually - mostly Murray cod and golden perch - released as part of the state government’s statewide stocking program.

The program is supported by recreational fishing licence fees and will see an Australianrecord 10 million fish stocked across the state by April 2022.

Way Back Wednesday - a look back at what was making news 20 years ago this week.

IT was all smiles at the recent Mansfield weaner cattle sale, as prices rose by $60 compared with recent figures from the North East.

Council officials believed that the previous 12 months was one of the Mansfield district’s biggest ever building booms, with a record number of new developments approved.

Mayor Don Cummins said it was both a blessing and a warning.

“It shows plenty of people want to live in the Mansfield district, but it also means we must be particularly careful to ensure the level of infrastructure meets the demand,” he said at the time, foreshadowing discussions still being had around town to this day, some 20 years later.

In sport, records tumbled at Mansfield Secondary College’s swimming sports, with Landy house taking the win from second placed Bader, and 13 new records being set.

The bowls club joined a new league, Mt Buller aerialist Alisa Camplin won Olympic gold in Salt Lake City, and local cricket was abandoned due to an exceedingly wet pitch.

 BOOMING: In 2002 council officials believed that the previous 12 months was one of the Mansfield district’s biggest ever building booms.

Country Universities Centre opens this week in Mansfield THE Mansfield campus of Country Universities Centre will open to the public this week with an Open Day and Registration Event to be held on Thursday, 9am-5pm at MACE. CUC is a free learning and study space for any student studying a degree at any Australian university, and newly appointed education coordinator Courtney O’Brien said she can’t wait to help Mansfield students access its facilities and support services.

“I’m looking forward to being able to help students achieve what they want to achieve,” Ms O’Brien said.

“I know from personal experience you can get halfway

through a uni course and you think ‘I don’t know if I can keep going’ but all you need is some support and encouragement.

“It’s important for people to be able to stay and study locally, both for the students individually and for the community, because it means valuable skills and knowledge are retained and remain within the region.”

Ms O’Brien grew up in North East Victoria and worked as a nurse before returning to university to study communications.

She completed the course partly online while working full time, so she understands the challenges of balancing work and

study commitments.

“We’ve seen in the last couple of years what’s possible online, and studying by distance is no different,” she said.

“CUC aims to make this even easier by giving local university students the opportunity to access a wide range of support and guidance in a university-like environment.”

The upcoming Open Day is a chance to meet Ms O’Brien and register for free access to the CUC, which includes high speed internet, printing and videoconferencing facilities, exam supervision, and learning and wellbeing support.

You can also register online at www.cucovensmurray.edu.au.

READY TO GO: Mansfield CUC’s newly appointed education coordinator Courtney O’Brien.

Grant money goes towards planning amendments

By SHAUN McMAHON MANSFIELD Shire Council will receive new grant monies from the State Government, intended to help speed up the delivery of local residential land, urban growth, jobs and development.

The ‘Streamlining for Growth’ program will hand out $2.18 million to local councils from this round of funding with 17 rural and regional councils receiving grants.

Mansfield Shire Council will receive $53,250 in funding to implement the Mansfield Commercial and Industrial Land Use Strategy, proposed to unlock employment investment and address an industrial land shortage in the area.

Minister for Planning Richard Wynne said the grants would go a long way to

helping areas like Mansfield, who were still in an economic recovery phase following the 2019/2020 bushfires and the ongoing pandemic.

“We know regional Victoria is facing land supply and affordability pressures, which is why two thirds of this year’s funding was focused on the regions,” he said.

“The funding will help local councils with staffing or financial support to unblocking or fast-track strategic planning projects to deliver new homes and jobs faster.

“This program has a track record of delivering faster and more cost-effective permit-ready land for new homes and jobs across Victoria.”

Mayor James Tehan said Mansfield Shire ratepayers will benefit from the grant monies.

“We are grateful for this

funding, which will allow council to implement the Commercial and Industrial Land Use Strategy through Amendment C51,” he said.

“This will open up 26 hectares of industrial land for development.

“Lack of available land is a major impediment to economic growth in Mansfield Shire and this funding will help accelerate the delivery of this land.

“This amendment will support a growing economy that is attractive to new and diverse industries, facilitates the ongoing expansion of its tourism sector and delivers a range of retail, commercial, household and personal services to its growing population and visitors.

“The major costs associated with amendments are legislated costs, and these

are not able to be avoided, so this funding will allow the amendment to progress without the need to use ratepayer funds.”

The Mansfield Commercial and Industrial Land Use Strategy was prepared by consultants Charter Keck Cramer on behalf of council and intends to “secure, strengthen and diversify the economic and employment base of Mansfield Shire and provide long term, sustainable commercial and industrial growth.”

The report summarised the main recommendations of the strategy as:  Direct retail and commercial activity to main road locations, limiting commercial uses along residential streets.  Dwellings at the western end of Curia Street are not supported for future com-

mercial uses and should be rezoned to reflect their residential use.  An expansion of industrial and mixed-use land is required along Dead Horse Lane, with a rezoning proposal to integrate with the new heavy vehicle bypass along Dead Horse Lane.  Residential interface treatments were proposed in the Mount Buller Road and Dead Horse Lane areas.  The Mount Buller Road precinct will continue to provide large format big box retailing with the town centre remaining the primary retailing precinct.

The proposed strategy was prepared in 2020 and 2021 and included two community consultation periods.

Council adopted the strategy on June 22, 2021, and resolved to undertake an

amendment to implement the strategy into the Mansfield Planning Scheme.

Kim Lynch on behalf of Mansfield Matters group appeared at the recent council meeting and said the amendment in a nutshell is a tidy up of the past planning scheme.

“It’s a good opportunity to deliver on a whole of township approach,” said Ms Lynch in support of of Amendment C51 part 2.

“It needs to provide clear policy and direct on Mansfield’s future using strong language without any loopholes, clear instructions and direction so that ratepayer dollars and shire time is not wasted.

“It’s a good chance to make things clear for residents and developers and to stop unintended consequences arising from interpretations of wordings.”

Trivia night a hoot A SMALL but enthusiastic group of people laughed their way through last Saturday night at the Merrijig Public Hall trivia night.

After being cancelled several times last year due to COVID restrictions the night went ahead led by local quizmaster Bryan Sherritt.

Raffle prizes donated by Merrijig Motor Inn Resort, Des and Mary Dunn and the baffler prize donated by Georgie Deyell all combined to make a great night.

The Hunt Club Hotel donated the quiz packs which tested everyone’s knowledge.

It was such a popular night that they are now considering another.

In the meantime, the next event will be a Trash 2 Treasure on Saturday of Anzac Day long weekend, April 23 - so start cleaning out the cupboards and garage.

Penny drops for young hoon

OFF AND RACING: Autumn horse racing is back on in Mansfield in April.

Re Do Your Do at Mansfield Picnic Races THE Mansfield District Race Club said they are thrilled to be running an autumn race day and hope that the Mansfield community will take advantage of the event.

‘Re Do Your Do’ is a theme for the day.

So on Saturday, April 2, the club invites businesses, families and groups who may have had planned events cancelled in spring/summer to celebrate with a day out at the picnics.

There are online packages to choose from, including the popular trackside marquee and private marquees ideal for birthdays, pre wedding parties, work celebrations and other milestone events.

Mansfield’s well-curated track is a drawcard for the racing industry, ensuring quality fields and six exciting races.

The extensive lawns and shady trees are the setting for the general admission lawn party, featuring music, food and beverage vendors, and children’s activities with an Easter focus.

With admission at just $20 and children (under 17 years) free, the day provides great value for all ages Gates open at 11am and a free shuttle bus to and from the event is available.

MDRC president Leanne Backwell invites the community to take advantage of an additional and affordable event in 2022.

“It was disappointing to have our 2021 Melbourne Cup Day meeting cancelled at late notice, when there had been great enthusiasm from the Mansfield community and businesses towards the day,” she said.

“Our committee is working to provide another opportunity for Mansfield locals to get together and enjoy all the fun of picnic racing in a beautiful and easily accessed setting.”

All tickets and packages can be purchased online via https://country.racing.com/Mansfield.

Patrons are required to provide proof of double COVID vaccination, and no BYO alcohol is permitted.

A TWENTY year old East Malvern man has been convicted of charges relating to speeding following his appearance in Mansfield Magistrates Court last week.

The young man also lost his licence for 12 months and was fined $1000 in connection with events from March 2021, as outlined by police prosecutors.

The accused was allegedly driving his silver Holden sedan south along Maroondah Highway, Buxton, when police clocked his speed at 166kph.

Police intercepted the accused, who was a probationary driver, amid a flow of weekend tourist traffic.

The accused showed his licence and provided a ‘no comment’ interview with police thereafter.

His car was immediately impounded.

Defence for the accused accepted the summary in a plea of guilty and proceeded to outline the circumstances of the young man’s life as context for the magistrate.

According to his counsel, the young man - who lived at home with his parents, was the middle child of three, and usually kept to himself - didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, hardly went out, was introverted and dyslexic.

They reported he wasn’t an academic child, had left school after year 10, and embarked upon a few different jobs before settling into a role for a timber

and door manufacturer in a carpentry-type role.

He also created memorial cakes for the Greek Orthodox Church with his uncle on weekends.

Defence further noted that he did know right from wrong, though, and that both of his parents had imposed their own punishment at home and subsequently guided and advised him.

But the penny really dropped for the accused, defence said, when a close friend of his died tragically in a motor vehicle accident not too long after his offending in early 2021.

He’d taken a different viewpoint now, was genuinely remorseful, and pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.

Defence provided character references to the court and advised the accused had undertaken a road trauma course of his own accord in requesting the magistrate’s consideration of a non-conviction disposition.

The presiding magistrate imposed a conviction due to the seriousness of the offending, disqualified the accused’s licence for 12 months, and imposed a $1000 fine.

It was referred for confirmation as to whether the disqualification would be retroactive, as the accused hadn’t driven for the past 11 months, being under the impression it was cancelled immediately after the offence took place.

Sue finds her voice, and one for local men

SINGING AGAIN: Sue Thompson performing with Denis Tucker.

By CARMEL DIXON

SUE (Suzie) Thompson is living the full gamut of life, with the responsibility of being an associate nurse unit manager at the Monash Medical Centre emergency department, where she leads 35 nurses, 10 doctors and 20 ancillary staff.

The constant responsibility of the patients’ welfare and that of her nursing team and medical staff are vital the constant pace and stress has become the ‘norm’ with the current explosion of COVID-19 and the emergency and trauma patients who arrive needing immediate and lifesaving care.

Her awareness of the stress and fatigue factors is a constant balance, and as team leader she is constantly amazed by the selfless extra hours her staff are willing to put in.

But Sue also realised the toll on her staff was constantly intensifying, so she decided the they should learn belly dancing - as

an exercise to help relieve strain that is.

So, she went ahead and taught the nurses the fine art of belly dancing, and lo and behold, the staff embraced the idea and are still practising on their meal breaks.

Sue had already previously introduced Christmas Carol singing to the workplace many years ago and it is now an annual event.

But this was in jeopardy for a time when a life debilitating illness affected Sue’s speech, and she was even told she would never sing again.

She then endured two major operations, both experimental, after which she isolated at the family Barjarg farm to recover.

Years of speech therapy followed, when her speech therapist eventually suggested singing again.

The therapist organised a vocal coach, who realised Sue was also suffering from isolation on the farm and suggested that she seek out some singing opportunities.

ALL TOGETHER NOW: Sue (far right) leading the Christmas Carols at the Monash Medical Centre.

“I called local Kevington entertainer Denis Tucker and asked him if he could help me to sing again, as a form of therapy,” said Sue. Now Denis and Sue have worked over many months, developing strength in her vocal cords and just recently the pair even performed to a live audience at the Jamieson Brewery and Grill to the delight of patrons, management and staff.

Sue grew up on the family farm of her grandparents at Barjarg - and her parents Bill and Lorraine Thompson were also well known and respected farmers.

“When I was six years old dad bought me a guitar because I appeared to be shy,” said Sue. Her dad loved the American country singer Merle Haggard, so she learned to play to his songs.

It wasn’t long before dad was taking young Sue to the Mansfield Hotel where he would sit her on the bar to charm the patrons with her renditions of Haggard’s hits.

When Bill died, many of his friends attended his funeral and it was later that Sue realised her dad was a very social being when one evening after his passing a couple of local men arrived, and sat on the back veranda

with a beer to chat.

Sue asked them why they came and was told they always came for a chat after work in the early evening.

Sue realised this was what her gentle father did for the community.

With her nursing experience she soon realised there was a medical need in the area for the recognition of men’s mental wellbeing, so she embarked on a research project for men’s suicide.

She discovered the local area had one of the highest rates of men’s suicide and depression in Victoria and found that 35 to 65 year olds were suffering severe depression, and young patients 25 to 45 years old were presenting with drug and or alcohol dependence.

Sue commenced men’s cooking classes in Mansfield on Tuesday evenings in Saint Mary’s Hall, providing the recipes, which inadvertently helps with literacy, and the social advantage is dining together and the comradeship.

Rosehaven gets parents to wedding ROSEHAVEN welcomed some special guests last weekend in Michael and Sara Bennett, with their Nurse Next Door Michelle, their son Scott, and his partner Julia.

Michael and Sara Bennett contacted Rosehaven in the middle of last year looking for accommodation that would be suitable for Michael’s needs.

Sara was searching for accommodation for over a month, and it was looking like they would not be able to attend their own son’s wedding.

Their son Matt and now daughter-in-law Bernie were getting married at a property in Maindample and they were struggling to find accommodation that was suitable for their needs.

Sara contacted Mansfield Information Centre where she was advised by the staff member there that Rosehaven maybe able to help.

Michael was still in hospital at this stage - he had a fall, hitting his head on a door jamb resulting in him pulling his spinal cord from his spinal column becoming a quadriplegic.

“When I first spoke with Sara, I felt as though this was absolutely an opportunity where Rosehaven could provide a quality-

of-life experience,” said Bianca Hurle - Rosehaven manager.

“We have a beautiful purpose-built facility, we have equipment on hand, we can provide qualified staff to assist with Michael’s needs and we can support all this family in enjoying a very special moment in all their lives, their son’s/brother’s wedding.”

In the lead up to the weekend, there was a lot of organising for the Bennetts.

They had Michelle, (nurse) from Nurse Next Door, accompany them in their tailored vehicle from Automobility, that was able to transport Michael safely from their home to Rosehaven.

Arriving on the Friday night there was lots of emotion and apprehension about how it was all going to go.

Rosehaven had their portable lifting machines on hand to find one that was compatible with Michael’s sling.

The Friday Foundation purchased air mattress was placed onto the bed to ensure that Michael’s skin was not at risk of pressure areas during their stay.

The fold out bed was set up in Michael’s room for Sara, so as she could be nearby.

After settling in and orientating they headed out to the property to ensure they could unload and load Michael, that there were areas that Rosehaven’ s staff could take Michael out of the elements if required throughout the wedding.

After ensuring smooth sailing for the wedding Michael and Sara came back to Rosehaven to share an evening with their other son and his partner, sharing a meal, playing some games, and enjoying the outdoor heating in the outside veranda space.

Michelle and Bianca spent the morning with Michael, doing his morning routine and sprucing him.

The groom and his bridal party came and took photos not only inside the beautiful facility, but in the magnificent four and a half acres of established gardens, that are loved and looked after by its team of volunteers.

Rosehaven staff accompanied Michael to the wedding to give Sara an opportunity to enjoy the moment of being the mother of the groom.

The wedding took place on a beautiful property out in Maindample where the family all caught up and were able to enjoy the magic of the day.

Remains confirmed as missing Wonnangatta campers VICTORIA Police have confirmed that the human remains found near Dargo last November are those of missing Wonnangatta campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay.

An extensive search late last year ultimately located the remains on November 30, with forensic testing undertaken by the coroner last week confirming they were those of Mr Hill and Ms Clay.

Caroline Springs man Greg Lynn, 55, was charged with two counts of murder and denied bail at Sale Magistrates Court in November, and is set to return to the court on May 31.

In November police members arrived in helicopters at a location near the Licola wilderness village in East Gippsland and slapped the cuffs on the 55 year old Lynn.

Mr Lynn, who is an airline pilot and lives in Caroline Springs, was taken to Sale police station for questioning where he was subsequently charged with two counts of murder after three days of interrogation.

The arrest came just weeks after police released images of a blue fourwheel-drive towing a trailer, with investigators keen to speak with the driver of this vehicle after witness sightings and safety camera images placed it in the Wonnangatta area on the night the elderly campers disappeared.

Reports also detailed the vehicle doing a convoluted 30 point turn on a tight track that same night before leaving the area.

Russell Hill and Carol Clay vanished from a Wonnangat-

ta Valley campsite on March 20 2020.

Their campsite at Dry River Creek Track was discovered burnt out, along with Mr Hill’s abandoned Toyota Landcruiser.

Campers found Mr Hill’s vehicle with signs of minor fire damage at their campsite, which was completely destroyed by fire.

Mr Hill and Ms Clay were last heard from on March 20, 2020, when Mr Hill, an experienced camper and outdoorsman, announced via high-frequency radio he would be camping in the Wonnangatta Valley with Ms Clay.

The pair’s campsite was found burned out on March 21 by fellow campers, while Mr Hill’s Landcruiser was seen to have also suffered significant fire damage.

CONFIRMED: Remains found at Dargo last November have been confirmed as those of missing Wonnangatta campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill.

Each week the Mansfield Courier will endeavor to publish a photo taken by the community or one of its staff. If you have a good or outstanding photograph and would like it published send with details of where, when and photographer’s name to: edit.mcourier@nemedia. com.au and captioned ‘Through My Lens’.

Same reliable local service FORMERLY VIVID BLUE: Caral Burrell took this photo and wondered if anyone can identify this little blue wonder?

Seeking to lift bar on nbn co INDI federal independent MP Helen Haines introduced the Faster Internet for Regional Australia Bill 2022 to Parliament last week, seeking to raise the bar on what is expected of nbn co when serving customers in Indi and around regional Australia.

If passed, the Bill will require nbn co to connect new premises and fix faults within the same turnaround times that apply in metro areas, or risk serious fines.

The Bill would also require telcos to provide fast average speeds of 25 megabits per second at all times of the day.

The Bill comes more than 12 months after the government proposed its own performance standards for nbn

co, which Dr Haines said are too weak.

“Under the government’s proposed standards, which it looks like won’t see the light of day before the election, nbn co only needs to provide speeds of 25 megabits per second once a day... that could be 2am or 2pm for five minutes or five seconds,” she said.

“The regions deserve telecommunications excellence at all times, with equality with the cities.”

Dr Haines said her Bill would also require nbn co to fix any network faults and dropouts within one business day instead of two or three business days, and connect all new premises within five business days instead of up to 19 business

days under the government’s proposal.

The Bill has broad in-principle support from the National Farmers Federation, the Council of Small Businesses of Australia, and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network.

Dr Haines said local regional entrepreneurs and business leaders also back the Bill.

In addition to improving internet speeds and connection times, Dr Haines is also working to secure $300 million in federal funding to finish the NBN build across regional and rural Australia which the government argues is already complete, despite asking cash strapped local councils to foot the bill for incomplete parts of the build.

Conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy TODAY, one in six couples will have difficulty in conceiving and maintaining a pregnancy to full term.

Substance abuse help p at hand

MANSFIELD Restart is the local drug and alcohol treatment service and they have many years’ experience in helping people through the hardest times of their life.

Experienced clinicians Amanda, Sandra and Jake are here to help you now: phone 5775 8800 to chat.

New Year, New You YOU may have heard the well-known phrase, ‘New Year, New You’, but why do we think we have to wait for a new year to create the change you’ve been wanting?

This is a question that Briana Seaton of Briana Seaton Coaching often challenges her clients with.

If you are ready for the change, then now is the time to make it happen, whatever time of year it may be.

If you’re looking to make a change, Bri’s pro tips could help you set yourself up for success and achieve your goals.

Bri’s first tip is to write down your short or longterm goals and make them specific and challenging enough without being unachievable.

Next, put a time frame around them.

For example: “I want to run 5km without stopping for a charity event in three months time.”

Your next step is to determine how the goal will be achieved, and writing a plan can help you stick to it.

NOW: Briana Seaton says you can make it happen.

Be mindful that starting is the most challenging part; begin easy, so the challenge is as simple and as achievable as possible.

For example, I will start by going for a walk or jog for two minutes a day, gradually increasing each day by one minute.

If a commitment to your challenge every day is too much, reassess your timeline and adjust to what you can manage; it will be different for everyone.

The key is to always keep it manageable, then push yourself just that little more outside your comfort zone.

Now it’s time to add why you want to achieve this goal.

Focusing on why you want to succeed is an integral part of keeping you on track.

Sticking with the running theme, an example of your why may be: “I want to run 5km so I can do the Mansfield Fun Run together with my family.”

Make sure your goals and your ‘why’ are written out and visible to you daily, such as on the fridge or back of

the toilet door.

This process is essential to keep embedding your goals at a subconscious level.

One of the final tips is to have a friend, family member or work colleague help keep you on track.

Share your goals and timelines with them and let them know your ‘why’ so they can help keep you accountable.

They can enjoy the journey of watching you achieve your goals, too; a victory is always more satisfying when shared with another.

Finally, if you fall off the horse, there is no point beating yourself up about it.

Let it go and begin again the next day, continuing towards your goals.

A negative mindset and self-talk can be really debilitating and make pushing through the challenging moments a little bit harder.

However, a positive mindset and changing the conversation in our heads to “I can and will do this...” will get you achieving your goals in no time.

THE Australia Day Awards and Citizenship ceremonies were a feature of the Australia Day festivities held in Botanic Park on Wednesday, January 26.

Congratulations to all the award nominees and the winners: MargaretAnn Hood (Citizen of the Year), Zelda Kirley (Senior Citizen of the Year), Riley Tanner (Young Citizen of the Year), Mansfield Men’s Shed (Community Group or Organisation of The Year), and Mansfield Autism Statewide Services (MASS) for the Mansfield Rideathon (Community Event of the Year Award).

INITIAL works have started on stage one of the heavy vehicle bypass from Withers Lane and Maroondah Highway along Withers Lane and Dead Horse Lane.

Safer and more productive roads are the aim of our council and this section has kickstarted the $2.6 million project.

MAYOR: Cr James Tehan.

(MAD) orchestra, Mansfield 1st Scouts, Mansfield Girl Guides and the High Country Horsemen who helped make the day a huge success.

COUNCIL has recommended the transition of Community and Healthcare services to the Mansfield District Hospital (MDH).

Council will work closely with MDH to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Given MDH’s track record and ability to provide services to our community I’m sure this will be achieved.

COUNCIL has recently been awarded a $300,000 grant for economic recovery projects.

Projects will include more seats and umbrellas in the Main Street, Taungurung art projects, shade structures in Botanic Park, and additional bins and signs across the shire.

Councillors toured the Resource Recovery Centre looking at some of the issues involved with the site and potential improvements that will be proposed.

The tour also visited Mansfield and Jamieson cemeteries, the new dual court basketball stadium, and the recently constructed highline bike course.

Each week the Mansfield Courier will endeavor to publish a photo taken by the community or one of its staff. If you have a good or outstanding photograph and would like it published send with details of where, when and photographer’s name to: edit.mcourier@ nemedia.com.au and captioned ‘Through My Lens’.

RURAL NEWS

Riddellvue Angus offers Australian first Trailblazers ANGUS industry trailblazer Ian Bates of Riddellvue Angus will offer up the first Australian sons of a US bull by the same name this autumn.

The Alexandra based stud has had renewed vigour and focus in recent years, with Mr Bates travelling far and wide to find the right genetic lines to introduce to the stud - and the Australian beef industry.

Riddellvue Angus’ second autumn bull sale will be held on-property Wednesday, March 9, with 34 lots catalogued, and Mr Bates said 15 were suitable to put over heifers.

It will be one of the first chances Australian producers have to secure sons by two leading US sires in Mogck Entice and Ferguson Trailblazer.

The catalogue includes five Mogck Entice sons, a bull which came highly recommended to Mr Bates

by HCH Genetics and has American figures in the top one per cent for growth and docility.

“He carries a fairly complete dataset but he’s also holding a good body, good bone structure and I think he’s going to make good future sires,” Mr Bates said.

“A lot of other studs are now looking for semen from Entice, and our lots to be offered are an interesting well put together line of bulls.”

Ferguson Trailblazer ranks in the top 10 per cent of Expected Progeny Difference (EPD, the US version of

SALE: Mogck Entice (pictured) progeny will be up for viewing at the upcoming sale.

ASBVs) for growth, docility, pregnancy rates, maternal calving ease, carcass weight and marbling.

Mr Bates concentrates on US genetics from North and South Dakota, as he “knows they handle the climate well”, making sire selection more challenging since COVID-19 has restricted international travel.

“I don’t get hung up on numbers, I don’t like to focus on them, I am more about structural correctness

and the animal being phenotypically right,” he said.

“But they (Entice and Trailblazer) are bulls that have been introduced that I think are capable of holding themselves - a lot of numbers bulls don’t have enough strength.”

The Riddellvue autumn sale will also offer twin bull calves by the $50,000 Milwillah Napa N498, out of a Premier Angus cow Mr Bates purchased at that stud’s dispersal in 2020.

Having managed the well revered Anvil Angus stud down the road at Acheron from 2013 until its dispersal in 2018, Mr Bates was inspired to reinvigorate his own Riddellvue Angus stud, initially established by his parents in the 1970s.

He’s since held three successful bull sales, kicking off in spring 2020, and is set to continue twice annual offerings in 2022.

In the spring of 2021,

Riddellvue achieved a total clearance of 28 bulls to an average of $9071 - a climb of nearly $2000 from their previous on-property offering - and a top of $15,000, which was a record high for the stud.

“The demand has been very good, a lot of clients stayed with me from Anvil, and they know they are getting great value for money, especially the way the climate is with the beef industry,” Mr Bates said.

“The last sale averaged just over $9000, it was still a cheap sale relative to other offerings, but a very good result for us.

“I like to focus on what I do well and I don’t like to veer too much - I’m very focused on keeping the cattle right and correct with great feet, that’s what I focus on all the time.”

This next phase of Riddellvue Angus has coincided with good seasons and a record cattle market, and Mr Bates said he’s keen to put his own stamp on the Angus breed in such a thriving environment.

“I haven’t heard anyone have any bad vibes about the industry lately, I think there is a lot of strength in it for the next 12 months at least, and I can’t see it coming back too far in the near future,” he said.

“Our clients have sold cattle at the annual January Yea weaner sales recently with very good results - the cattle I was breeding at Anvil went very well on feed, and now the buyers are following Riddellvue genetics because they know they will perform.”

Riddellvue will open its gates for clients new and old on Sunday, January 30 for Beef Week, before hosting its second annual autumn bull sale on Wednesday, March 9, on-property near Alexandra at 1pm and online via Auctions Plus.

Visit www.riddellvue. com.au for more information.

HIGH DEMAND: This sale was a special one because of many factors, including high demand and heavy rain.

February weaner cattle sale in Euroa

By CLEMENCE CARAYOL A SPECIAL cattle sale occurred at Euroa Saleyard and about 100 farmers came to sell and buy livestock.

Independent MP for Indi Helen Haines also came to assist this auction.

Richard McGeehan, cattle farmer onsite that day, said that sale was one in a million.

“This February special sale once again saw an above average no of cattle presenting,” Mr McGeehan said.

“Reason being prices have remained historically high due to factors such as nationwide rains because of La Nina, and also because low dollar and continued export demand for northern cattle.”

Two passing cyclists later located Mr Tennant unconscious on the ground near Burgoigee Creek rest area with gunshot wounds to his head and chest, and promptly contacted emergency services.

‘Foolish’ police evader loses driver’s licence A WANGARATTA woman who fled police after being observed driving without her headlights on has had her driver’s licence cancelled for two years.

The 20-year-old did not appear in court last week when Magistrate Peter Dunn elected to convict and fine her $1000 and cancel her licence for two years ex parte as a result of her “foolish” behaviour.

According to police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Sarah Williamson, police had been conducting routine patrols around 2am on May 28 last year when they spotted a vehicle travelling north along Glenrowan Road with no headlights.

Police began to tail the vehicle, which, upon noticing police, accelerated to an estimated 140kph towards the Wangaratta CBD, causing police to abandon their pursuit.

LSC Williamson said police had attended the registered owner’s address on June 3, when he said the car had been in the possession of his daughter

for some time.

Police conducted a field interview with the accused on June 26, when she failed to nominate another driver and was unable to disclose the whereabouts of the car, and she was ultimately charged with a series of driving offences.

Police investigating fight BRIGHT police are investigating a fight involving up to 10 people at the Alpine Hotel in Bright last Saturday night.

Police said a fight between a group of local

A CARAVAN which lost a wheel near Glenrowan was the catalyst for a grass fire in the region late last week.

Two CFA crews from the Glenrowan brigade attended the blaze, which spread at around 6.30pm on Thursday, after a caravan travelling along the Hume Freeway lost its wheel, sparking the grass fire in warm conditions.

The blaze was contained and the scene declared safe after crews spent about 12 minutes on scene.

Sergeant Peter McGuffie of Wangaratta police said despite police not required at the scene, the onus was on drivers to minimise the risk of an accident on regional roadways.

“It’s on road users to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy at all times,” he said.

North East regional news in brief Alpine region stars in new ABC drama CROWDS gathered in Myrtleford and Bright last week as filming of a new Australian drama TV series, Savage River, commenced at various locations in the Alpine Shire.

The new series is being produced by ABC which stars Golden Globe nominee Katherine Langford, whose character Miki Anderson is returning to her hometown after eight years in prison.

She wants to move on with her life until a fresh murder rocks the town and Miki becomes the focus of everyone’s suspicion.

Producer Polly Staniford of Aquarius Films said that after scouting different locations across Victoria, the Alpine Shire had delivered everything they needed.

“We’ve got amazing pine forests, sweeping gorges, rivers as well as the other landmarks including an excellent op shop and houses,” she said.

With the production taking place all around the Alpine Shire many locals got the opportunity to be involved in the production of the show.

“We have used local labourers and tradespeople to assist in the set-up of the show as much as we can,” Ms Staniford said.

“We have loved engaging with the local community.”

Filming for the show will be happening in various locations across Bright and Myrtleford, using locations such as the Myrtleford Hotel and cemetery.

“The production

status as a streaming hospital for COVID-19 positive patients.

An NHW spokesperson said it was important that while the hospital is set to gradually increase its capacity, anyone who is experiencing a nonemergency health issue should visit their GP in the first instance.

“Elective surgery remains limited, while dental, allied health and medical imaging are among the services operating at reduced capacity,” the spokesperson said.

GUTTED: This Chiltern home was largely destroyed by the fire, which completely gutted the interior of the building.

PHOTO: Kurtis Hickling crew have booked out accommodation across the Alpine region, while also trying to source props, materials and also sourcing food locally,” Ms Staniford said.

“Our crew will also likely go to local pubs, restaurants and coffee shops during their down time too.”

Chiltern home engulfed in blaze A CHILTERN home has been completely gutted by a fire which originated in an adjoining garage last week.

Firefighters were called to the Albert Road blaze at around 2.19am, to find the home fully alight after flames travelled from the garage through the roof of the building.

In total, some 40 firefighters and 17 vehicles attended the scene, undertaking asset protection on either side of the home as the flames

threatened to impact neighbouring houses.

All occupants managed to escape the blaze, with Ambulance Victoria crews called to the scene to treat the homeowner for shock.

According to a CFA spokesperson, the fire was brought under control around 3am, before the scene was declared safe at 5.41am.

Fire investigators were on scene late the following morning, with the cause of the blaze likely to be determined later this week, according to CFA Chiltern captain Shannon Beacon.

Shed destroyed in Winton North blaze A LARGE hay fire was contained to a Winton North shed, but all the 100 hay bales were destroyed on Monday morning last week.

Some 14 CFA vehicles attended the scene at Snowy Lane shortly after 10.30am,

with the 60m by 20m shed fully alight.

Smoke billowed from the blaze and was visible from parts of Winton North and Benalla, however, a series of community updates issued

by CFA on Monday said the risk of a grassfire was minimal.

Firefighters worked to control the blaze, before an excavator arrived on scene around 5pm to assist in pulling apart the hay bales to extinguish flames.

According to a CFA spokesperson, the fire was brought under control just before 7pm and declared safe at around 8.30pm, however, with the blaze still smouldering, CFA crews inspected the scene periodically into the following morning.

Code brown eased at NHW NORTHEAST Health Wangaratta (NHW) is set to gradually increase its accessibility to elective

services, after officially lifting ‘code brown’ restrictions on Monday.

The health service will now realign with state-wide code brown deactivation, after initially imposing restrictions to elective services on January 21 to combat significant staff shortages due to COVID-19 isolation.

According to NHW acting chief executive officer, Robyn Gillis, approximately 40-50 staff were still absent from work each day.

“The decision has been made to lift the code brown so that we can begin the gradual reintroduction of services that have been put on hold,” she said.

“A limited number of category two elective surgeries that do not require overnight stays can recommence from this week.”

Ms Gillis said the hospital would now begin a “long, slow gradual path” to increasing access to services, due to NHW’s

WITH the number of visitors and holiday home owners coming to Jamieson, the weather has been ideal over the last few weeks.

The Jamieson River has been a very popular place to enjoy the pleasant grassy reserves, along the riverbank and a lazy float downstream, or just sitting under the shady trees with friends to enjoy a barbecue.

Later in the afternoon fishing has become very popular with the eternal hope of the big one.

One tiny visitor was delighted with her experience, with an up close viewing of a King Parrot on the brand new bird feeder - Marli Barnett was staying at a family friend’s home in Jamieson, when a very pretty red and green King Parrot, landed on the new bird feeder, a pink bucket provided a better view of the very calm bird up close.

Teams jostle for position in tennis Tuesday night

By RHONDA CARPENTER HUSTLERS and Grinders were up for the fight on Tuesday with a see-sawing contest across the night.

The openers went 6-2, one each way, a tie break win to Justin Odd and Jason Peck, then Grinders’ Jason Blake and Hans Lang gained momentum in the next two.

It would take a big final set from Hustlers, and Sarah Fox combined superbly with Peck to show who was boss against new husband James Fox and Mark Poole, defeating them 6-0.

The result was 3 sets all, 25 games all, so the points were split for the drawn match.

Hackers faced the undefeated Sweet Spot and gave their best in a similar arm wrestle.

Earl Ree-Goodings and Tim Vardy took their opener 6-3 but Andrew Downey and Keira McDonagh were on fire against their out of sorts opponents winning 6-1.

Both teams went for broke in the final sets playing two lengthy tiebreakers, 9-7 and 7-5, going one each way.

When scores were tallied Hackers had beaten the top side in a cracking contest by one game: 3 sets all, 28 games to 27.

Cannonballs brought in the heavy artillery against a severely substituted team in Wild Card.

Matt Daly and Peter Grey combined well with regulars Sabastian Blac and Jaden Findlay to take the first 3 sets.

Wild Card replacements Dan Robertson and Mark O’Loughlin, and Kathryn Murray and O’Loughlin, steadied the ship to take the next two.

Ilena Meek made good use of her opponent’s racquet to secure two games in the final set with partner Murray against Blac and Findlay.

Cannonballs won 4 sets to 2, 30 games to 23 in another enthralling contest.

Sweet Spot remain in top spot, but Cannonballs slipped into second over Scramblers who had the bye.

Wednesday night

By BELINDA CIPA MOTHER Nature continued to impress this week

with storm clouds rolling in from the west as players took to the courts to warm up.

A drenching followed shortly afterward just as teams were settled in to battle for all important first set points.

Top team Crocketts were home and dry with a bye.

Leprechauns had to leap a little higher to stay on top of Douglas on the night after losing their third set and being taken to two tiebreakers in the fifth and final set.

Dundas dismissed Hewlett convincingly with a tiebreak win in the first set and another home run 6-0 grubbing in the last set by Loretta Armitage and Courtney O’Loughlin.

Go-Dees got going against Scotland with both teams drawing the battle out late into the night.

Lisa Morgan was in fine form winning all three of her sets including the first and last taken to tiebreak.

The competition’s ladder now stands with Crocketts on top with 37 points and a narrow 1.5-point margin from Leprechauns and Dundas being equal on 35.5 points.

It will be a tight contest over the remainder of the season to see which of the bottom four teams of Scotland, Douglas, Go-Dees and Hewlett will rise to the semifinal round.

GOANNAS: Judy Dixon, Liam Wilson, Geoff Hutchison and Anna Manning (absent Jo O’Brien).

Thursday night

By RHONDA CARPENTER Goannas came to play on Thursday night and began strongly winning both openers against Bellissimo.

Anna Manning, Judy Dixon and Geoff Hutchison included super sub-Liam Wilson into their line-up.

Regular Jo O’Brien had made a last-minute decision to join the Country Week team in Swan Hill.

With friends and family looking on, players were nervous to begin but lifted their level and enjoyed a fabulous contest.

Two tiebreakers brought out everyone’s best tennis.

Wilson won all his sets, including one in a tie with Dixon.

Manning was superb on the net, not missing a volley all night and Bellissimo’s Bob Carpenter found form

CLOSE ONE: Brendan Purcell, Sarah May and Moira Moss after their close set.

TIE BREAKER: Dixon, Manning, Bell and Carpenter.

WET WEDNESDAY: Players scurry from the court in an early deluge but quickly returned after the storm passed.

WINNING COMBINATION: Go Dees’ Fem Leyson and Lisa Morgan combine for a match win on Wednesday.

winning two of his sets, one with Ben Nally, another in a tiebreaker, and narrowly losing a tiebreaker with Rhonda.

Jenny Bell was delighted with her tiebreak win with Bob in a high-quality set against Manning and Dixon.

Goannas defeated Bellissimo 4/32 to 2/24.

Both teams kept their ladder position.

The ding-dong battle between Diatribe and Ghost Riders began with two tiebreak sets.

With Diatribe’s Di Ellis away at Country Week, Erich Schneider was called in and slotted into the team magnificently.

Ghost Riders welcomed Sarah May, returning to tennis, who was dazzling in her opener winning with Anna

Speirs against Schneider and Matt Boon.

Diatribe’s Rachel Parsons and Brendan Purcell beat Steve Earp and Moira Moss in the other tiebreak.

A third tiebreak set was played by Schneider and Parsons against Speirs and Earp going Diatribe’s way.

Diatribe defeated Ghost Riders 5/35 to 1/27 and shot into top spot on the ladder.

PHOTOS: Rhonda Carpenter Ellis, up in Swan Hill, joked that the team didn’t need her.

Shane Richards and Fleur Smith began with a tiebreak win over Callum Bono and Bianna Kelly in the match between King Richards and Pro Bonos.

Matt Johnson and Di Bergelin were having none of that and trounced their opponents 6-0.

Results see-sawed in the remaining sets with Catherine Spencer winning two of hers with Richards then Smith.

The sets were shared equally 3 all, but Pro Bonos edged out their valiant opponents on games: 3/30 to 3/24.

Pro Bonos slipped down to second spot on the ladder.

They meet the new number one team Diatribe next week, while Bellissimo and King Richards play in the third versus fourth clash.

With only five rounds to go, player interest in ladder points is heightened as teams jostle for position.

Ladders are available on the MTA website.

Youngsters and parents enjoyed a glorious Saturday morning for Danny Cahill’s Hot Shots on the blue court and junior competition on the main courts.

Alice and Robbie Walker managed the pairs and matches with Jo O’ Brien.

Juniors are encouraged to join in next week.

Expressions of interest for an autumn competition have been invited.

Par’s the word in golf

By LAURIE HARCUS GAZING into the sky over the past week has revealed a beautiful new moon, a huge orb in a clear sky over the course.

Many of our golfers must love the moon or the cosmic sky.

Why? Because we had two Par events this week where players are not rewarded for getting a birdie.

Thus, it was apparent players were looking up to the milky way for guidance or maybe it was exasperation.

Enough of that.

Tuesday’s results: A grade - first was Gary Johnson and Bill Moran, they won with the amazing score of +11.

For those non golfers it is like running a marathon in three hours.

They were followed by our man, the course superintendent Tony Cooksey, and co-conspirator David Joyce (new assistant manager).

Third place went to the team of Bob Speed, the lovable rogue, and his champion friend Fred Rogers, a long term club champion and champion young fellow.

Thursday’s results for the regular Stableford event saw two grades this week with 57 players gnashing at the teeth.

A Grade - Shane O’Brien (again) after coming back from surgery, had 38 pts.

Mark Bettany, another true legend, took second with the same 38 pts.

Third place went to Matt Daly.

B Grade - Tom Nicol had 38 pts, Tom Swan 35 pts, and in third was Daryl Horwood 34 pts.

A little more info; Tom Nicol’s star (not moon) has been starring for many weeks, handicap coming down fortunately.

Great job Tom. Daryl’s third place is evidence of persistency; he lives across the road from the golf club and is currently practicing three times per day... think about that.

Saturday, as pre-empted, another Par day where the heavens took control.

Some serious scores among the top three.

As a precursor, the top three, so far above the rest of the 55 players all had the fabulous score of +4 (the next closest was -2, six shots behind).

The winner was Dion Sheahan, with plus four playing off eight.

My delightful vice captain Rod Sargent was second and is not often away from the prizes, playing off zero with + 4.

Paul Bell recently back from a leave of absence and getting into the swing also + 4 playing off 22; he suggested that the cut-off was slightly out of proportion and he would have won ‘B’ grade.

Nice try Paul.

Presentation eve for 2021 prize winners will be held after the monthly medal on Saturday, February 26.

This is an event that we would really like to be ‘bigger and better’ in the future.

Making it a joint venture for the future with our lovely ladies who are so organised that the men appear average.

There are some good things coming up on the club front.

Watch the media and this space.

Stay well, stay happy.

SKINNER’S THE WINNER: Rob Skinner takes the win just ahead of Katie Cipa; he’ll probably be grinning on the inside.

PHOTO: Tony Copland

Winners are grinners

By MICHAEL PEARCE ALL agreed the Bakker Plumbing Handicap at Jamieson is probably the best race of the season on the best course we race on.

It starts with a relaxing drive out to Jamieson as race preparation, then a hard race followed by dinner at the Jamieson Brewery.

With a full moon rising, enthusiastic officials (thank you) and a handicap system that is getting closer to perfect every race, off we went.

Rob Skinner and I waited for three groups to go off before us: John Eisner was off Limit at 13.00; then John Findlay, Dave Jagger and Craig Wilson off 11.30; and then Steve Curnow, Belinda Cipa, her daughter Katie Cipa and Wayne Arazny off 9.00.

Wayne missed his start time and suffered trying to get back on.

Rob and I decided to race on at the half way mark and not ‘sit up’ and wait for the in-form ‘awesome foursome’ of the 3.30 group, Ant Bateup, Tom MacMunn, Darren Bakker and Jarrod Appleton, who were gaining on us quickly.

Catching the front markers we knew we had a chance to hold off the looming faster riders.

The Block group of Craig Oliver, Steve Duke, Matt Hoskin, Dave Moore and Bruce Halket were caught by two thirds of Scratch (Chris Miller and Belinda’s son-in-law Shane Marshall, they’d just dropped Steve Brown) a little before half way.

However, only Moore and Halket were able to stay with them after the turnaround.

“It was two locomotives, a few carriages and a caboose,” Wil said about the ride after the turnaround.

Rob Skinner the winner and grinner, Katie and Belinda displayed good race tactics to get second and third, myself fourth.

Rob’s time was 58.48, which is an actual ride time of 50.48.

Halket got home for fifth ahead of Bateup, Miller, Appleton and Marshall.

Darren Bakker, race sponsor and club spiritual guru, rounded out the top 10.

Despite a fatigue and beer-induced error at presentations, which gave fastest time to Shane Marshall, fastest time was actually ridden by Chris Miller - 45.04.

Next week’s race is from the Botanic Park, turning at Long Lane and finishing on Graves Road - see you there.

Ladies Div 2 Pennant wins team of the year

By LINDA TERRY HOW fantastic to see our 2021 Div 2 Ladies Pennant team named the Sports Team of the Year, at the presentation dinner at the Mansfield Golf Club last Friday.

All seven team members, including team captain Linda Brook, along with then ladies captain Linda Terry, and current ladies captain Sheryl Sargent, attended the dinner and shared in the anticipation, which was building throughout the evening, as the nominees in all categories were announced.

There was quite a cheer

and much celebration when MC Craig Willis announced that the MGC girls were indeed the winners and the bubbles proceeded to flow for some time after.

Team captain Linda Brook accepted the award on behalf of the team and acknowledged not only her own team’s success but that of the other two ladies’ divisions who also reached the finals in 2021, but didn’t quite get to take home the silverware as Div two did.

A demonstration of the great commitment of all of the Mansfield lady golfers.

Congratulations to all

those sportspeople and teams who were nominated across the categories and thanks to Rotary, the Mansfield Courier and the Mansfield Golf Club along with sports team sponsor, the Delatite Hotel, for their ongoing support of these awards, which give such valuable recognition to the commitment and hard work of all our local sporting community.

Coming back to earth, the usual rounds of golf continued.

On Tuesday a small band of ladies played their 9 holes of stableford with Pam Abbott the winner with 14

points.

Glenis Skinner picked up a nearest the pin.

On Wednesday, a great field of 33 turned out also for Stableford.

Winner of Div 1 was Kylie Egan on a countback to runner up Andrea Marsden and third place getter, Marg Knapp.

In div 2, the winner was Wendy Hunt with 33 also on a countback to Marion Sargeant, with third going to Jenny Koraus with 32.

Line balls went to Anne Blampied and Lyn Poulson 36, Patsy Smiles 35, Sue Crow and Robyn Baker 34,

and Lyn Holland 32.

Nearest the pins went to Sue Parsons on the third, Sam Bailey on seven, Susan Kinloch on nine and Sheryl Sargent on 17.

Thursdays continue to struggle for interest, but Lorraine Wilson won the prize from her two fellow competitors with 15 points.

Finally on Saturday, 13 ladies contested their round of Summer Cup, with Robyn Baker coming out on top with 37 points from runner up Kylie Egan 36 and third Linda Brook 33.

Jenny Koraus, Pauline Ahola, Anne Blampied and

Sheryl Sargent picked up the ball prizes, and Millie Cumming the nearest the pin.

As autumn approaches, the opportunities for golf is ever expanding with all the clubs around the nearby districts kicking off their calendar of events including bowls and tournaments.

All the ladies are reminded to keep an eye on the locker room notice board and to get their teams together and their entries in, for golfing around the traps.

And only a couple of weeks before our 2022 pennant season kicks off - may it be as successful as last year.

A special mention also goes out to Jason Foster who shot the Seaside Classic at Warrnambool last weekend and making

Mansfield CTC proud by taking out first place in the handicap event over approximately 200 other competitors in very windy conditions.

Mansfield B1s continue unbeaten run

By LYN FOOTS MANSFIELD A2s played at home and after a disappointing game last week they managed to have an awesome win against Yackandandah 124 shots to 38.

John Foots, Noel Jackson, Alex Clarke and Brian Revell started slowly and were down seven shots to eight after the eighth end.

Mansfield lifted and played great bowls to take control of the game winning 36 shots to nine.

Lyn Foots, Peter Roberts, Mike Harrison and Mark Bettany began well and kept up the pressure all day taking a great win 34 shots to nine.

George Peterson, Elaine Peterson, Chris Laws and Hatchet Ryan were fantastic from the get go and only allowed the visitors to score on eight of the 21 ends resulting in a great win to Mansfield 30 shots to nine.

The final rink of Ray Robbo, Greg Nugent, Ray Close and Rick Nichols went out to a great lead 16 shots to

three after nine ends but Yackandandah fought hard and after picking up a count of seven on the second last end they were down by just six but Mansfield hung on to record a win 24 shots to 20.

Mansfield remains in sixth spot on the ladder and will again play at home this week against Corowa Civic.

The B1s travelled to Myrtleford and with a Mansfield player and a Myrtleford player taken off to medical care Mansfield managed to win the day 67 shots to 49.

Graham Smith, Graeme Clements, Don Cameron and Enid Smith had a tough game after Graeme became unwell but the team managed to battle on winning 19 shots to 16.

Winston Taylor, Tom Tomic, Kevin Nikkelson and Ross Parsons had a brilliant start leading 15 shots to one after seven ends and Myrtleford had no answers and were totally outplayed by the gun Mansfield team 30 shots to 10.

The final rink of Gary Fuller, Irene

Fuller, Kerri Nicol and Tom Nicol battled hard all day against a tough team and by the sixteenth end the game was all square at 16 all.

Mansfield kept plugging along but Myrtleford finished the stronger to win 23 shots to 18.

Mansfield continues on their unbeaten run and will play Benalla at home this Saturday.

Unfortunately the B2s again had to forfeit due to players being unavailable to play and will find it hard to fill a side for the remaining two games.

Home Pennant continues to be successful with all teams enjoying the format.

Last week’s results saw the Brown team of Graeme Burgess, Colleen Christopher, Helmut Beck and Coral Taylor record a great win over the Orange team of Paula Crawford-Hall, Glenda Revell, Nikko and Nola Jones 26/16 and the Black team of Noel Jackson, Vicki Klein, Les Blake and Cathy Johnson had a win against the Lime team of Carolyn Close, Tom In-

gpen, Marta Mueck and Ross Parsons 19/12.

The final game saw a massive win to the Blue team of Winston Taylor, Nick Klein, Belinda Snider and Tom Tomic over the Gold team of Jenny Walsh, Kathleen Bock, Anne Wileman and Ida Rachelle 34/6.

The ladder sees Black on top on 40pts +79, Green 36pts +77, Blue 32pts +82, Pink 24pts +42, Red 16pts -2, Brown 16pts -24, Orange 16pts -24, Yellow 16pts -54, Lime 16pts -105 and bringing up the rear is the Gold team on 8pts -71.

Ash Wilson Interleague venue announced THE GOTAFE Goulburn Valley League (GVL) and the SS&A Ovens and Murray Football and Netball League (O&M) are scheduled to play interleague matches on Saturday, May 28.

After reviewing submissions from GOTAFE GVL clubs to host the matches, the board of the GOTAFE GVL are pleased to announce that these games will be played at Mooroopna Recreation Reserve.

GOTAFE GVL board chairman David Roff said: “The board was pleased to receive several submissions from GOTAFE GVL clubs to host these matches.

“It was a difficult decision but the submission from Mooroopna FNC was selected after lengthy discussions.

“After having to cancel interleague matches the last two seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are eagerly anticipating these games and the return of the Ash Wilson Trophy that is currently held by the SS&A O&M.” Interleague matches to be played are under 18 football along with open and 17 and under netball.

The senior football teams will once again play for the coveted Ash Wilson Trophy, currently held by the SS&A O&M. The leagues have competed against each other since 2001 with the trophy being named after former Shepparton and Albury legend Stephen Ash and Wangaratta Rovers champion Mick Wilson.

GOTAFE GVL operations manager Josephine Spencer is excited about the planned interleague clashes.

“We are looking forward to the opportunity to renew the rivalry between our two great leagues, both in netball and football,” she said.

“Our leagues have played each other 18 times since Country Championship Football began in 1978 with the leagues split at nine wins each.”

O&M general manager Craig Millar said: “The O&M has a strong history with representative football and netball, and we look forward to playing against the GVL for the Ash Wilson trophy.

“Our league holds this trophy in high regard.”

O&M board chairman David Sinclair said: “We look forward to resuming the rivalry between two very proud country football and netball leagues.

“We also look forward to crowds getting back to watch the best country football and netball players.”

A Reserves go down to OVU at Myrtleford

CUT SHOT: Giulian Krsticevic swings away.

FRONT FOOT: Joshua Cook on his way to 15 runs.

Under 12 cricketers shine in new format

By ANDREW COOK

WITH three games to go in the season the Under 12s have advanced to a new game format, where each batter faces 12 balls, the second half of which are played as ‘out is out’.

The Stars batted first, losing only five wickets on the way to 93 runs.

The Martin brothers Cooper and Nixen top scored, with 17 and 15 runs respectively.

Three batters were dismissed before their allotted 12 balls, allowing Cooper and Anella Logan-Williams to return from retirement to add an additional 12 runs.

Fielding from all the Bushrangers team has improved consider-

ably from the start of the season, highlighted by three spectacular catches from Joshua Cook.

The Bushrangers lost only one wicket but were unable to match the run-rate of the Stars and only managed 78.

Joshua Cook (15) and Jake Hoskin (14) kept them in it, but tight bowling from the Stars restricted the rest of the Bushrangers line-up, with only Callum Logan-Williams also reaching double-figures.

This Wednesday will be the last barbecue of the season so the club would love to see as many parents and grandparents as possible at the Recreation Reserve to join us for a sausage in bread while watching their youngsters play.

RUNNING: Bryn Chandler (batter) and Felix O’Meara (keeper).

Delatite tie with Ovens Valley in a thriller ■

From back page When he was finally dismissed for a majestic 62 the scoreline was 8/133, Delatite needing just six runs to take the points.

Despite the efforts of Lachie Scales with 12 runs it didn’t come to pass.

He was sent on his way with the scores tied.

The very next ball the number 11 batsman was clean bowled and it was all over.

James Neary was the hero for Ovens, taking the last three wickets in six balls to finish with a superb 5/18.

Daniel Walker took 2/20, Nick Bleeser 2/39 and Josh Newton 1/44.

Delatite was left deflated, all out for 138 in the 34th over.

While both sides had their chances,

it was the spectators who were the winners, enjoying the seesawing encounter with the bonus of a nail-biting ending.

Delatite A will have to work hard to defend its fourth rung on the ladder over the final three rounds of the season, with fifth placed City Colts breathing down its neck just 6.14 points behind.

Both teams have a hard road home, each playing top placed Wangaratta Magpies and third placed Rovers United Bruck.

The outcome of the other match against a lower placed team may decide ladder positioning.

Delatite hosts Wangaratta Magpies at the Lords Reserve this Saturday.

Come and watch to see if the local lads can upset the ladder leaders.

BREAKTHROUGH: Joel Sanford’s introduction to the Delatite attack brought about immediate results.

AFTER a strong win against Beechworth, the Delatite A reserve team were once again on the road, this time travelling to Myrtleford for the match against Ovens Valley United.

Losing the toss and being sent in to bat, things were looking good with the score 1/63 at drinks.

Adam Mahoney and Patrick Smith were both playing well but when Mahoney fell on the first ball after the break for 25, things started to fall apart.

Regular wickets began to fall and Delatite were eventually bowled out for 93.

Smith top-scored with 32 and Archie Storer contributed 16.

Early wickets were desperately needed if Delatite were going to be a chance to win this game, but unfortunately they didn’t eventuate.

Once the opening partnership was broken by Mick Burrows with the score on 87, Delatite were able to take some control of the game with regular wickets, but the damage was done.

Justin Deutscher was the player of the day with three scalps, while Storer took two, and Burrows and Joe Kelleher collected one each.

Under 14s poised against top side DELATITE’S under 14 cricketers travelled to North Wangaratta to battle top side City Colts in a two day quarters cricket match.

Batting first Delatite made 3/96 off 20 overs, James Benton smashing 31 with five boundaries, and a steady Harry Craddock 32 no along with Noah Whittall 15 no moving the score along.

City Colts’ innings started off with the loss of early wickets with Craddock and Benton again leading the way with 1/14 and 1/6 respectively.

A direct hit run-out to Sam Kain and a wicket to Whittall saw the Colts in trouble.

J Long steadied with 34 no to see his side 4/84 after 20 overs.

Delatite will have to build a big total and push for victory next week to keep their slim finals hopes alive.

Delatite tie with Ovens Valley in a thriller

By DAVID FOSTER WANGARATTA & DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - A GRADE Delatite 138 tied with Ovens Valley United 9/138 INSTEAD of celebrations or commiserations there was a subdued feeling of what could have been after Delatite’s A Grade team played out a thrilling tie with Ovens Valley United.

Held at the Lords Reserve it was a match of ups and downs.

Winning the toss the visitors opted to bat.

Opener Andrew Newton threatened with a quickfire 16 which was followed by a steadying 50 run partnership between Josh Jones 22 and Josh Newton 37.

Joel Sanford’s introduction to the Delatite attack brought about immediate results.

From a well-placed 1/76, Ovens couldn’t maintain the momentum, descending to a less healthy 6/94.

There was some useful resistance from Kane Fitzpatrick with 17 and James Neary undefeated on 11 but not enough to build a really respectable total.

Sanford again dominated to capture 4/21.

Mitch Purcell took late wickets to end with 2/24 as well as showing his skill in the field with a direct hit run out.

Max Sampson was the other wicket taker with 1/36.

Earl Ree-Goodings was his usual ebullient self behind the stumps, figuring in a stumping and partnering with Lachie Scales in a greased lightning run out.

Ovens Valley United concluded its 40 overs on 9/138, not insurmountable but enough to defend.

RESPECTABLE: Ovens Valley United concluded its 40 overs on 9/138, not insurmountable but enough to defend.

STEADY: Ovens Valley United’s Josh Jones (22) and Josh Newton (37) put on a steadying 50 run partnership.

Delatite’s run chase started in disastrous fashion with the openers and number three batsmen all back in the pavilion with the score on 3/12.

Captain Chris Anderson’s 23 and Jarrod Mahoney’s 13 steadied the ship but when they fell in the two overs prior to the drinks break, Delatite had definitely hit the

wobbles, heading downhill to 5/50.

The complexion of the match altered considerably once Matt Stevenson strode to the crease.

Bully by name but not by nature, he did in fact bully a shell-shocked Ovens attack.

Once he was into his stride the fielders strung around the boundary could do little but watch

the ball sail between them or over their heads.

Six sixes and three fours travelled like bullets in quick succession and suddenly Delatite was back in the hunt.

Stevenson comprehensively took out the BP Vantage Fuels Delatite player of the day award.

Merton light up Yarrawonga

By ROHAN BERRIMAN MERTON cricketers travelled to Yarrawonga on Saturday with the two sides eager to do well, being in the top three of the WDCA C grade ladder.

In a high scoring match on a quick outfield, Merton batting first made 3/227 off 36 overs, opener Ross Mackinnon again top scoring and in top form with 96; ever so close to his first ton.

He and Daryl King 53 not out featured in a 136 run second wicket partnership, however, the run rate accelerated when Luke Berriman joined King and the pair put on 63 runs in 5.3 overs.

Berriman was particularly aggressive smashing 46 off 21 balls; an impressive total against an experienced bowling attack.

Yarrawonga’s top order made their intentions clear playing their shots and putting the Merton bowlers and fielders under pressure with R Leith 66 top scoring.

But with Merton protecting the boundaries and taking wickets including two run outs, the game was on a knife-edge.

Yarrawonga needed 32 off the last two overs and just couldn’t get over the line finishing on 8/205 .

R Mackinnon and son Jai both took two wickets with J Cummins and R Berriman one apiece.

A great comeback victory to Merton after two recent losses.

Merton will be tested again when they host top side Ovens Valley United at Merton next Saturday at the MCG.
