EAGLES CAN’T SHAKE SIXTH

Aerial support FIRE authorities have assured the state’s aerial firefighting capabilities offered to protect Mansfield and district communities will be at full capacity this summer.

A report in The Age newspaper last week raised concerns Victoria’s total aerial firefighting capability had fallen about 40,000 litres below last summer’s level and aircraft services

Fleet firefighting capabilities to be on par with last season

could be cut back this season.

However, Emergency Management Victoria (EMV) told the Mansfield Courier that the state remains well prepared for the high-risk

period for fires and that “procurement of the fleet is still under way and will be finalised shortly”.

“There is no reduction in the number of firebombing aircraft in Victoria this year compared to last year, and no reduction in waterbombing capacity,” the spokesperson said.

“Our aircraft will continue to play a vital role in supporting emergency services on the ground, to protect Victorians before, during and after emergencies.”

Maindample CFA captain, and member of the Mansfield CFA Group, Vaughan Semler said aerial firefighting support

was a critical element, with Mansfield normally having a minimum of one helicopter and one smaller plane based locally, as part of the statewide fleet.

“We hope here in the High Country we would still have something in the way of aircraft to cover a huge North East area,” Mr Semler said.

“Without the water bombing we are left with even small fires opening up to massive bushfires – they would be out of control before tankers could get near it.”

Member for Eildon, Cindy McLeish said with predictions of drier weather and heavy fuel loads, the need for aerial firefighting support was never greater.

Produce Store placed on good behaviour after breaching child employment laws Lenient sentence influenced byy “outstanding g and heartfelt” character references

By HANNAH KENNELLY THE owners of the Mansfield Regional Produce Store have pled guilty to 16 child employment violations.

Melbourne Magistrates Court heard last week that the popular Mansfield cafe employed three children under the age of 15 without the relevant permit and failed to provide adequate rest breaks every three hours.

The Victorian Wage Inspectorate said the business rostered children for shifts longer than three hours during the school term and shifts longer than six hours during the school holidays, and failed to ensure employees under 15 were supervised by someone with a Working with Children Clearance.

Produce Store owners

Dean and Gillian Belle’s defence counsel told the court the business had followed the Fair Work Australia guidelines and mistakenly believed they were doing the right thing.

“This Victorian legislation [Child Employment Act] was introduced in 2003 when my client was operating the Mt Buffalo Chalet in NSW,” defence counsel told the court.

He said Mr Belle returned to Victoria in 2005 and was “unaware of the new legalisation”.

During sentencing, magistrate Timothy Gattuso reinforced that “ignorance of the law was no excuse”, however acknowledged the Produce Store’s charges were “on the lower end of the offending scale”.

He also highlighted the Produce Store’s school-based

apprenticeships and contribution to the local hospital.

Magistrate Gattuso issued a two-year adjourned undertaking with no conviction and asked The Produce Store to pay $2000 to a court fund.

“I am satisfied the owners of the Produce Store were in no way seeking to mistreat or exploit their employees,” he said.

The magistrate also criticised a “sensationalist and misleading” headline by the Herald Sun, which claimed the Produce Store was “dobbed in by its bookkeeper”.

The magistrate confirmed the bookkeeper contacted Wage Inspectorate Victoria at the request of Mr Belle who was seeking clarification on child employment processes.

“They were not dobbed in by anyone and in fact brought themselves to the attention

of the Inspectorate to ensure they were not doing anything wrong,” Mr Gattuso said.

“They were fully cooperative and made full admissions.”

He said a clarification and an apology by the Herald Sun “would not be out of order”.

Magistrate Gattuso confirmed the Produce Store had now obtained the required working permit and Working with Children Clearance, and had also updated their employee policy and procedure manual and implemented a child employment checklist.

“The Produce Store now appears to be an exemplar to others as to the steps required when employing a child between 13 - 15 years,” he said.

Magistrate Gattuso also referenced “15 exceptional testimonials” from Mansfield

businesses, residents, and past and present employees supporting the Mansfield Regional Produce Store.

“They are without a doubt the most positive and heartfelt character references I have read across my practice as a magistrate and solicitor,” he said.

One previous employee described the store’s managers as “incredibly generous and eager to teach” and commended their pastoral care.

“I have never experienced more kindness and care given to me as a staff member than when I was at the Produce Store,” one letter said.

Mr Belle said he was very humbled by the Mansfield community’s support.

He was eager to campaign for greater awareness around child employment laws to

prevent other businesses from “going through the ordeal we did”.

“There really hasn’t been a positive public education campaign,” Mr Belle said.

“It’s all been based around prosecution.”

Mr Belle said the business was committed to fostering a positive work environment.

“Anyone employing a young person has an extra responsibility to shape the relationship between employer and employee with great care,” he said.

“We take that responsibility really seriously.”

Magistrate Gattuso said the character reference material clearly showed the “immense care Dean and Gillian Belle have for their employees and the care Mansfield has for the Produce Store”.

Council rejects IBAC report recommendations

By HANNAH KENNELLY

thedelatitehotel.com.au

5775 2004

MAINTAINING A RURAL FEEL: Cr Steve Rabie opposes several reccomendations from Operation Sandon. tions 10 and 11 which relate to replacing the current planning permit applications being considered by council with an independent panel process.

Speaking at the meeting Councillor Steve Rabie questioned if similar recommendations had been implemented in other states.

“My other question is how would that [the recommendations] impact on this shire’s ability to maintain our rural feel?”

Acting shire chief executive officer Melissa Crane confirmed that every state “has a different model in relation to how planning matters are decided”.

“Victoria is known for having the best amount of engagement for the general public to be involved in the planning process,” she said.

“This has been a real point of pride for Victoria.”

Ms Crane mentioned the recommendations were based off “one council acting inappropriately, and the rules being changed for everyone”.

“There are concerns that these recommendations will remove community input into planning decisions and it is not clear yet how the State Government intends to implement them,” she said.

The State Government has not yet committed to implementing the recommendations, but said it would consider the report and respond in due course.

“IBAC’s 34 recommendations will be given appropriate consideration, but it is the clear position of the government that the role of local councils in significant planning decisions should be reduced and we will have more to say on this matter,” Premier Daniel

“

Andrews said in a July 27 statement.

Cr Rabie proposed council endorse a motion for submission to the MAV State Council meeting on October 13.

“We ask that the MAV advocate to the Victorian Government to not implement IBAC Recommendations 10 and 11 from the Operation Sandon Report as it will take away the ability of local communities to exercise their democratic rights on local planning matters that may impact them,” he said.

“The Minister currently already has the power to call in planning items and there is an established planning panel process.

“This council will fight for democratic rights of their residents and ratepayers.”

All councillors voted unanimously in favour of the motion.

MANSFIELD Shire Council will seek support from other councils to lobby the State Government to reject implementing changes which will reduce community input into local planning matters.

At their meeting last week, councillors unanimously agreed to bring a motion at the October 13 state meeting of the Municipal Association of Victoria calling on the government not to implement two of 34 recommendations from a recent corruption report into planning decision-making.

On July 27, the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) tabled the Operation Sandon Report – an investigation into allegations of corrupt conduct in Victoria’s planning decision–making processes at both state and local government levels.

The final report delivered 34 recommendations designed to protect the integrity of Victoria’s planning processes.

IBAC’s five-year investigation found two Casey City councillors accepted personal benefits from “making or influencing council decisions related to planning or land use”.

The State Government sacked the Casey City Council in 2020.

IBAC Acting Commissioner Stephen Farrow said it was vital for planning decisions to be protected from improper influence and corruption.

“IBAC has recommended the Premier report publicly on the action taken in response to the relevant recommendations by January 27, 2025,” he said.

During their August meeting last week, Mansfield Shire councillors discussed Recommenda-

LEARNING to read can be a daunting experience for many children in the North East.

Trying to decipher a jumbled mess of letters in a classroom environment can often heighten students’ anxiety and sometimes lead to a fear of judgement.

However, a Mansfield bookworm and her four-legged friend are hoping to change this attitude.

Denise Skinner and her sixyear-old cavalier Poppy are part of Story Dogs – a comprehensive literacy program aiming to “make reading fun again”.

Originally launched in the United States, Story Dogs encourages students to read to volunteer dogs.

Denise and Poppy have been working with Mansfield Primary School since the beginning of term and have helped numerous kids improve their confidence around reading.

“The whole purpose behind Story Dogs is to make reading fun,” Denise explained.

“It is not to teach, correct or to make the child sit there until they get the words right.

“Our job is to provide a really safe and comfortable environment where children can start to associate reading with something really pleasurable.

“Kids don’t have to worry about getting the words wrong and having other kids stare at them.”

Denise and Poppy visit the school once a week and read with a small group of children for 30 minutes.

One of the most unique aspects of the Story Dog program is the interactive process between the student and the dog.

“Everything is based on what the dog wants,” Denise explained.

DYNAMIC DUO: Denise and her clever canine Poppy are Story Dog Volunteers.

“For example you tell the student ‘Poppy wants to read this story’, or ‘Poppy hasn’t heard you say this word before’.

“You let the child guide the dog through storytelling.”

Denise said Poppy has “the most beautiful temperament” and often sits in children’s laps during story time.

She said it was amazing to watch students’ confidence grow in “a relaxed and fun environment”.

Denise first learned about the Story Dogs program from an internet browse during the pandemic.

“During COVID I was on my tablet scrolling when I saw Story Dogs and thought it looked pretty interesting,” she said.

“I’d always wanted to do vol-

unteer work with cavaliers and I love reading and I love kids, so it seemed like the perfect combination.”

Denise originally started training her cavalier Bella.

“A Story Dog has to have a reasonable level of obedience, so Bella went to a lot of training sessions to prepare,” she said.

“She saw a behaviourist and visited busy childrens’ parks to ensure she could remain composed in stressful situations.”

Bella passed with flying colours, but unfortunately died before she could start volunteering.

Instead, Denise decided to start training Bella’s daughter Poppy.

“I was initially unsure of Poppy, but she ended up being a

Clark Real

Estate

perfect candidate,” she said.

Denise and Poppy are currently supported by the Mansfield Rotary Club which covers the cost of books and training.

“It’s been so wonderful having the support from the club and community,” Denise said.

“It means we get to make a really big difference for kids.”

For Denise, her volunteering role is the perfect gateway to share her love of reading.

“I was an absolute bookworm when I was younger,” Denise laughed.

“I would nag my mum every night to take me to the library and would always love to read about animals.

“I’m still an avid reader now and it’s wonderful to share that love with kids.”

Mining & Construction Tyres fitted In-house

COMMUNITY groups from the Mansfield and District region gathered at the Mansfield Golf Course last Thursday night to celebrate their funding from the Bendigo Bank 2023 Community Impact Program.

Over the past 12 months alone, The Community Bank Mansfield and District has reinvested more than $400,000 back into community projects, bringing their total community investment figure now to $1,208,069.89.

This was a record number of applications received within one round of funding for not only the Community Bank, but also for national Community Banks across the Bendigo Bank network.

Community Bank Mansfield Board Chairman, David Mayne said the “need for funding within our community has never been greater”.

“Thanks to those who bank with, or invest in, our Community Bank, because the profits from your banking, are reinvested back into the community that generated them,” Mr Mayne said.

Hazard in existence TO all those in despair about the lack of road maintenance on the Melba and Maroondah highways, I am sending a ‘Hazard in Existence’ notice to the minister of roads and road safety, the Honourable Melissa Horne.

A ‘Hazard in Existence’ notice is the most effective in creating change of government, both local and state.

If you wish to use this letter as a template you are welcome to do so.

Subject: Hazard in existence To the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, the Honourable Melissa Horne

This is a formal notice of a hazard in existence.

The numerous potholes in the Melba Highway and the Maroondah Highway between Kinglake Ranges and Mansfield make it an unsafe passage of travel.

As there is no rail corridor the community is forced by VicRoads to put themselves and their property in danger whilst carrying out their right of passage.

Should any hurt or damage be incurred by myself, family and/or property, I will take legal action against VicRoads.

The provision of ‘rough surface’ and ‘work in progress’ signage, some of which has been in situ for months with

no attention, is indicative of the lack of appropriate safety measures being taken to repair dangerous road surfaces.

Sincerely, city/postcode: contact number: email address: Just fill in your name and address, and send a digital copy to the following email:melissa. horne@parliament.vic.gov.au or alternatively, post it to: Level 20, 1 Spring Street, Melbourne 3000 Here is Cindy McLeish’s email if you wish to cc her in your correspondence: cindy. mcleish@parliament.vic.gov.au Thank you kindly, from one concerned citizen to another.

Disappearing services SOME of the convenient services many residents rely on in Mansfield are being phased out, store accounts being one of them.

An account is and easy way to pay for residents who cannot access the shops due to various reasons.

Hopefully, deliveries will continue.

Essential services in Mansfield are already swamped and with limited parking and new developments starting, the situation will only get worse.

Preps dig deep for tree planting day

By EMMA OLIVER

CLASS WORK: Prep students from St Mary’s Primary School worked together on Tree Planting Day.

CLASSMATES: Elisabeth Hosking and Layne Brackels were a good team.

GROUP EFFORT: The prep students from St Mary’s spent lunchtime planting out the banks of Fords Creek.

BIG SMILES: Rhys Kirley got into the task.

JOB WELL DONE: Mitchell Hind digging holes.

PREP classes from St Mary’s Primary School spent Friday, August 11 helping to plant out the banks of Fords Creek with a selection of native trees, shrubs and grasses.

The 135 tube trees were planted close to the Len Lynch walk area.

Principal Trish Etcell said that the activity is an excellent way to contribute to the environment and to teach young students about the importance of caring for nature.

“The students learn that planting trees can help combat climate change, improve air quality, provide habitat for wildlife, and enhance the overall beauty of the landscape,” she said.

“It’s great to have St Mary’s Preps invited to be involved in this activity, with Landcare’s facilitation.

“Students are provided with basic knowledge about tree planting techniques to ensure the trees have the best chance of thriving.

“Overall, events like these can create lasting memories and instill a sense of responsibility and connection to nature in young minds.

“It’s a fantastic initiative, and everyone had a rewarding and educational experience on Tree Planting Day.”

From hair to Jamieson LOCAL resident Andy Dolling and her daughter Charli came to Jamieson to live in 2017.

On top of running the successful Mansfield hair salon ‘Davon’s’, Andy has been involved with musical theatre working in Wigs, Hair and Makeup (WHAM) for 30 years.

She has had an extraordinary career and is dedicated to making the stars on stage look as magnificent as possible.

Her talent has educated the backstage crew of top international productions in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Spain, and New Zealand.

She has worked for countless productions including Phantom of the Opera, Singing in the Rain, The Sound of Music, Rent, Annie, Moulin Rouge, and Tina the Musical in Sydney.

Over the last couple of years, Andy has worked in Japan for five weeks overseeing and mentoring a talented Tokyo team responsible for the wigs, hair and make-up along with show design on Moulin Rouge.

By CARMEL DIXON

This followed on from an earlier five week stint in Korea, in the same role, also on Moulin Rouge.

With show design a crucial element to the production, Andy was responsible for training her team to replicate the exact look of each wig for each and every performance, to maintain that consistency.

She also worked closely with the artistic crew on Moulin Rouge throughout the Melbourne and Sydney season, a demanding 12 month commitment.

And most recently, Andy worked for Tina the Musical in Sydney, a production which required 198 wigs.

There were many costume and wig changes in this amazing production, each wig was an intricate art form, each hair was hooked and knotted to a fine net then coloured and styled into the appropriate shape to fit the performer.

The production of Tina

the Musical in Sydney was a fabulous success.

On top of these endeavours, Andy has always had a connection to the region, creating beautiful hair styles and creative make-up in her own salons over the years.

She also ran the Top End Café on High Street in Mansfield.

It’s these hospitality credentials that will be coming to the forefront in her latest endeavour.

With the recent proprietorship of the Jamieson General Store, Andy moved very quickly and altered the look of the store and expanded the variety of products on offer.

By moving refrigerator storage to the rear of the store, she has created a soft, cosy seating option for clients to enjoy fabulous coffees and gourmet delights - all cooked with a great deal of creative passion.

Andy moved the camping and fishing gear to the service station and is enjoying her first weeks in her new ‘theatre’.

The Jamieson community wishes her well.

Searchers locate missing man safe, but cold, hungry

By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY A QUEENSLAND man reported missing to Victoria Police on Monday was found on Tuesday last week, safe and well but cold and hungry.

Senior Sergeant Steve Carden of Mansfield Police said the 28-yearold man’s vehicle got bogged whilst trying to do a three-point turn.

“The man remained with his vehicle for a day and a half and when no-one came by, he took his swag and sleeping bag into bush off Highett Ridge Track, on the Delatite Arm Reserve,” Snr Sgt Carden said.

“He then camped in the bush for five nights before becoming separated from his swag and spent a night in the elements.”

The vehicle was noticed by a trail

bike rider on the evening of August 12 and reported to Mansfield Police, who commenced an investigation leading to a search for the missing person.

Approximately 45 people commenced searching including local police, police search and rescue, police airwing, mounted branch, special solos (trail bikes), K9 (dog squad), a drone operator, SES, CFA, and FFM staff.

The man was located within the search area cold and hungry at approximately 2pm on Tuesday, August 15.

“I urge any person visiting a remote area anywhere, to let someone know before you go, and ensure that you provide clear trip intentions, and always carry a Personal Location Beacon (PLB),” Snr Sgt Carden advised.

Mt Sirling still under logging threat as VicForests applies for permit COMMUNITY nature groups are urging VicForests to ditch plans to log sub-alpine forests on and around Mount Stirling following the discovery of rare endangered native plants.

Surveyors from the Victorian National Parks Association and the Victorian Forest Alliance have recorded a number of rare native plants within forests scheduled for cutting down that VicForests failed to detect in their own pre-logging surveys.

Populations of Lilac Bittercress (Cardomine lillacena), Fringed Rice-flower (Pimelea ligustrina ssp. Cliliata), Hairy Eyebright (Euphrasia lasianthera), Ovens Everlasting (Ozothamnus stirlingii), and Mountain Grevillea (Grevillea victoriae) were found, all of which are listed as endangered under the state’s threatened species laws.

The forests around Mount Stirling are a diverse mix of Alpine Ash, Mountain Gum and Snow Gum, and are very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and more frequent and severe bushfires.

Charles Street from Friends of Mount Stirling said the forests’ diverse mix of flora must be protected.

“These forests are already

MT STIRLING: There are concerns the vibrant ecoystem on Mt Stirling will be damaged by any logging of the mountain. vulnerable, adding chainsaws and bulldozers into the mix would be all the more devastating,” Mr Street said.

“The mountainous forests of Mount Stirling are part of a complex ecosystem - damage one part and the others suffer.

“The habitat areas around Mount Stirling must be protected.”

Forests around Mt Stirling provide a key link to Alpine National Park and the Mt Stirling Alpine Resort.

The VNPA believes the forests should be added into the Alpine National Park to improve

management, recreational experiences, and the overall integrity of Victoria’s Alpine regions.

However despite the state government’s plan to end native forest logging in the east by early 2024, many areas remain under threat, with local community groups concerned for Mount Stirling.

The VNPA and VFA have reported the findings to the Office of the Conservation Regulator, while Friends of Mount Stirling has written to Environment Minister Ingrid Stitt calling for the logging plans to be scrapped.

NATIVE FLOWER: Ovens Everlasting (Ozothamnus stirlingii) is juts one of the endangered species documented on and around Mt Stirling.

Malcom Street footpath project continues THE Malcom Street shared path project is progressing along, with further work expected in spring.

Contractor, Ground Technique Pty Ltd, recently finished widening 129m of the footpath, taking the path from 1m to 2.5m wide.

Mansfield Shire Council’s General Manager Infrastructure and Planning, Melissa Crane said the new section of the shared path will provide a safer route for all users, improving connectivity for residents and visitors.

“We are keeping these works advancing and will keep the community updated on this project,” Ms Crane said.

UPDATES: The wider shared path on Malcom Street.

“We look forward to seeing the remainder of the path completed later this year.”

The Malcom Street project is jointly funded by the Mansfield Shire Council

ITY BUILDING THE COMMUN

and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) through the TAC Local Government Grant Program.

The total cost for this section of the shared path was $30,246.62 (excluding GST).

Pole People gets a polish A POPULAR public artwork on Mansfield’s High Street median strip has finally been repaired.

The artwork known as ‘Pole People’ was created in 2004, but had suffered from general wear and tear over the years.

Mansfield Shire Council contacted award-winning artist Ann Ferguson, who facilitated the original workshop, to restore the artwork.

Ms Ferguson enlisted local mosaic artist Sue Binzer-Jones to assist, and over three days they carefully rebuilt parts of the artworks.

“We had to import a special epoxy for fine cracks and local cementbased products to complete the works,” Ms Ferguson said.

“We ensured we didn’t restore the original surfaces as this would be considered interfering

SHINY SMILE: Newly repaired Pole People. with the original work; the weathering and lichen growth has also added an interesting effect.”

The artworks were originally part of a creative initiative by Central Access Disability Support Group Manager, Leanne Robson.

Five students were invited to a workshop with Ms Ferguson to work with ceramics and make a sculpture representing themselves.

“I love hanging out with the pole people because they are like my friends,” one of the original artists, Emily Reynolds said.

“I am happy they are fixed because they took a long time to make, and we

had such fun making them.”

Inspired by the creation of the works, noted local playwright Heather Matthew wrote a play for the Mansfield Performing Arts Centre entitled ‘Five’.

The artworks were then installed permanently in the median strip at the community’s request.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the ‘Pole People’ have a strong connection to the community and wanted to ensure they were repaired.

“There have been some great additions to this end of High Street, with new murals, sculptures and interactive art, but it is just as important to ensure our established works receive attention as well,” he said.

ADVERTORIAL

Mansfield, we weren’t up to date with some legislation, and we broke the law.

Once the case against The Produce Store was publicised by the Wage Inspectorate in February we couldn’t comment, as it was going to court.

Now we can.

So, what actually happened?

In September 2022 it came to our attention that 14yrs9mths was NOT actually the minimum age for employment. We instructed our bookkeeper to call the Wage Inspectorate advice line to establish what had changed, and what we needed to do to get the correct permits or such, to employ young people under 15yrs. (We had a small number of staff under 15)

What did NOT happen?

Contrary to some rumours, we were NOT ‘dobbed in’ by our bookkeeper, a parent, staff member or another business operator. Even The Herald Sun mis-reported the facts, and was criticised by the magistrate for that.

What happened next?

The fact that we had in essence ‘self-reported’, when we had rung to make an enquiry was an important factor in his finding.

Equally important, were the letters of support for The Produce Store. (Which we wish to say a HUGE THANK YOU for) In the Magistrates words, “They are without doubt some of the most heartfelt and positive character references I have read, not just in my time as a magistrate, but across my practise as a solicitor for 23 years in the profession prior to that”.

In summary 11 months of stress for all concerned, over $50,000 in costs, a $2000 court contribution and a 2 year good behaviour undertaking. A very sobering experience.

On the upside, we can’t even begin to say Thank You to the numbers of staff, ex-staff, customers, locals, other business operators and more, who offered us so much moral support. Your words of support, in person and in writing, speak volumes about the community we have, and the role that The Produce Store plays in that community.

The Wage Inspectorate contacted us, and launched a ‘full investigation’ over October & November, checking records, conducting interviews etc.

Whilst our documentation, payrates etc were all fine, there were still issues.

Thank you all, for your understanding and support,

Once it was established that we had several staff under the age of 15, it meant we had broken the law, as we were required to have a specific permit for each of them to be working. It also triggered a number of restrictions, which we had not known about eg any person under 15yrs can only work a maximum of 3 hrs on any day during school term, weekends included.

PS We strongly recommend all employers of young people to double check legislation.

Then we went to court After numerous meetings and negotiations with the Inspectorate, they agreed to roll-up the 101 charges into 16 main charges, and not seek a conviction. The magistrate found that he was satisfied that we had not been aware of the change to the law. (Which had actually changed in 2003, and is still not known by the majority of businesses or parents).

North East regional news in brief Magnificent magpie makes Euroa its home

EUROA’S 3.5 metre high magpie sculpture – created by Tank & Tobin Sculpture Works – stands proud after it was unveiled last Friday.

Located in Seven Creeks Park, the town’s newest resident now gazes intently over Burtons Bridge in the direction of the Seven Creeks Hotel on Clifton Street, as if thirsty for a cold beer.

The giant Australian magpie sculpture, which is a collaboration between Longwood’s Steve Tobin and Shepparton’s Tank, was the clear community favourite, winning the most votes from a shortlist of five by a comfortable margin.

In an interview Mr Tobin said the idea for a magpie sculpture came after he and Tank got great feedback on a blue wren sculpture they created, which was stationed in Seven Creeks Park temporarily last year and now lives at Euroa’s community garden on Bury Street.

In keeping with their ethos as artists, the pair made the bird using locally sourced and recycled materials.

MAGNIFICENT MAGPIE: About 185 people gathered in Seven Creeks Park, Euroa, on Friday afternoon last week to see a 3.5 metre high magpie sculpture created by artists Tank and Tobin unveilled to the community.

Riders rolling in Mount Beauty’s new pump track THE new Mount Beauty pump track at the town’s recreation reserve is proving a hit with local riders after its official opening on August 3.

According to members of Team Mount Beauty, the group behind the project, the asphalt track has been popular since the opening.

Jamie Armitage, Team

Mount Beauty committee member, helped spearhead the establishment of the pump track and said they first started working on the project around 2020.

With community contributions and around $25,000 seed funding from AGL they had around half a million dollars for the project.

A tender was then awarded to a trail building company and construction works began in 2022 .

“By June they were finished,” Mr Armitage said.

“They’ve designed it really well, there’s lots of

fun little jumps, it’s good for all levels.”

Second municipal monitor finishes up at Strathbogie STRATHBOGIE Shire Council’s municipal monitor, Peter Stephenson, finished his term on Tuesday, August 15.

Mr Douglas helped councillors develop a

transition plan and an updated 10-point action plan (an amended version of that provided by the council’s earlier municipal monitor, Janet Dore), which were to be formally committed to at Tuesday night’s meeting.

Councillors undertook intensive training with Mr Douglas in response to the monitor’s appointment, which was budgeted at a cost of $26,000 in the 2023/24 council budget.

Payment to the municipal monitor, also at a cost to ratepayers, was set by

Minister Horne at the time of his appointment to be between $30,000–$45,000 plus expenses based on $1259 per day.

Expenses in the 2022/23 budget also included $15,000 to cover the cost of the Victorian Electoral Commission countback following Cr Dave Andrews’ resignation and $32,000 for the employment of a governance advisor who is providing governance expertise to council while a replacement is sought for people and governance director Dawn Bray, who resigned in June.

Mayor’s Report from Cr James Tehan IT was great to see Jamieson awarded bronze for the Top Tiny Town Award 2023 (population under 1500) at the Top Tourism Awards held in Ballarat on 26 July.

Congratulations to the Jamieson community on their strong and successful application.

Expressions of Interest are now open for the Mansfield Social Inclusion Action Group (SIAG) and community members are invited to apply outlining their interest and how they can contribute to the group.

The Mansfield SIAG will bring community members together to support local mental health and wellbeing through community driven social inclusion initiatives.

The EOI is seeking to recruit 15 community members from a diverse range of backgrounds including

The existing independent living units are proposed to be removed and an additional wing will be built, with the extension will providing for a kitchen, deliveries, laundry, and waste disposal.

A new car park will be developed providing a total of 45 parking spaces for the site.

A sheltered vehicle dropoff area will service the main entrance with a reception and waiting area, small café, and associated activity rooms.

These improvements will bring a much needed boost to our Shire’s aged care services, and Council looks forward to seeing these plans come to life.

Council also supported the proposal of a car museum with an associated café and 10 warehouses.

The car museum and ca-

Mayor Cr James Tehan those with lived mental health experience, either for themselves or as a carer, and people who have experienced social isolation.

Last month Council was pleased to support the Bindaree redevelopment that will increase aged care rooms by 30 resulting in a total of 72 rooms across the facility.

fé’s proposed location is 255 Dead Horse Lane and will be sited near the southern boundary with direct frontage to Dead Horse Lane.

The approved plans provide for twelve car parking spaces, including one disabled space.

The warehouses are proposed to be located towards the rear of the land with an internal access road around the boundary.

Upgrade works are due to commence on this section of the Heavy Vehicle Alternate Route later this year and Council engineers have been working with the project consultants to ensure the works are coordinated.

The car museum will bring a unique attraction to Mansfield Shire.

A lease to Evie Networks was supported for part of the Early Street carpark in

Mansfield to provide a publicly available electric vehicle charging station.

The annual lease payment is $500 and will run for just under ten years.

Council looks forward to seeing the positive impact of this infrastructure addition to the Shire, for both locals and visitors alike.

Lastly Council entered into a two year license agreement for the premises at 31 Highett Street, Mansfield, known as the Home and Community Care (HACC) building, with options for three by one-year extensions.

This building became available to be let to other organisations following Council relinquishing the provision of Aged and Disability Services, with Mansfield District Hospital taking over as the service provider.

Matilda magic in Mansfield

By HANNAH KENNELLY THE Matildas’ FIFA World Cup campaign might have ended, but that didn’t stop Mansfield from coming out and showing their support last week.

Local pubs and restaurants proudly donned green and gold decorations, with every spare television screen broadcasting the game.

Buller Road Buller Brewery was one of multiple venues showing the semifinal match between Australia and England.

Co-owner Adam Craze said the brewery had a fantastic turnout.

“The goal by Sam Kerr in the semis was just magnificent,” he said.

“The whole place just erupted and everyone was cheering.

“It’s great to see everyone in the community being united.”

Approximately 11.15 million

viewers turned in to watch Channel Seven’s semi-final coverage, making it the most streamed television program since 2001.

Seven West Media said the broadcast figures do not include out-of-home viewing at venues such as pubs or live sites at sporting stadiums.

Mansfield District Soccer Club’s Chris Nealon said the hype around the Matildas had spread everywhere.

“We definitely witnessed the passion from the kids for the Matildas,” he said “Having young girls see the world stage is available to them with football was fantastic.

“Hopefully it helps cement soccer further into our community with increased interest, backed up by further funding.”

A DRIVER caught travelling more than 30km/h over the speed limit has had his licence suspended for six months.

Mansfield Magistrates Court was last week told that police observed the man driving along the BuxtonMarysville Road between Mt Margaret Road and Ismay Wynd in Buxton at 93km/h – 33kmh above the posted 60km/h speed limit.

He was intercepted and produced a full and current driver’s licence and was issued an infringement notice.

When questioned, the man said he was feeling ill and “just needed to lay down” at home.

In court last week, the man told the magistrate that losing his licence would be “devastating” and would severely impact his day-to-day life.

Due to minimum sentencing laws, the man had his licence suspended for six months and was fined $500.

As such, Council ran a commercial expression of interest and three submissions were received.

The Friends of Mansfield Library (FOML), St Vincent De Paul Society, and Gateway Health will lease the building and Council will receive a net lettable area rental of $18,801.00 per annum plus outgoings.

Council supported a peppercorn license arrangement with the Friends of Mansfield Library, with due consideration of the community benefit that the group provides.

Over the past 18 months, FOML has donated approximately $6000 to Mansfield Library projects, and will continue their great community work from the new site.

Mansfield ambos struggle with the winter surge

By HANNAH KENNELLY

MANSFIELD paramedics’ response times have slowed in the midst of a busy winter season, with a 10 per cent increase in code one calls.

Recent statistics from Ambulance Victoria show Mansfield responded to 136 code one cases between April and June this year, the highest number in two years.

Paramedics attended 40.4 per cent of those emergen-

cies within the 15 minute state-wide average target.

The average response time for code one calls in Mansfield was 24 minutes and 53 seconds, four minutes and eight seconds slower than last quarter.

The state-wide average response time to code one emergencies was 16 minutes and four seconds.

However, Mansfield’s code two response times showed significant improvement.

FOR ALL YOUR FIREWOOD NEEDS

Paramedics responded to code two cases approximately 12 minutes faster than the January to March quarter.

Ambulance Victoria Hume Regional Director Narelle Capp said the fourth quarter of 2022/23 was Ambulance Victoria’s third busiest on record, with ambulance responses impacted by a 5.5 per cent increase in demand compared to the previous quarter.

“Every winter we see de-

mand rise, and this year is still challenging as COVID-19 and influenza spreads, and more staff are furloughed due to illness,” Ms Capp said.

“April to June saw ambulances called to 97,509 code one cases state-wide, which is more than 5000 additional ‘lights and sirens’ cases compared to the previous three months.

“This is a huge 29.3 per cent increase from code one cases five years ago be-

fore the pandemic hit.

“This winter we again urge you to help our paramedics, first responders and hospitals by saving triple zero for emergencies and accessing alternative care options which can better meet your needs.”

From April to June, paramedics and first responders across Victoria responded to 61.7 per cent of code one cases within the state-wide average target of 15 minutes.

In the Hume Region, response times have improved in the Indigo, Mitchell, Benalla, Moira, and Greater Shepparton Local Government Areas.

Ms Capp said Ambulance Victoria had recruited 118 new graduate paramedics over the past month, including 16 in the Hume Region.

“This builds on our record recruitment of more than 1300 paramedics over the past two years,” Ms Capp said.

Optimising sheep health: information day at Pepperton Farms

GAINING premiums from the processor, maximising genetic improvement and the latest in sheep handling technology will be on show for lamb producers at the Pepperton Farms information day on September 6.

Hosted by the Trewick family, Pepperton Poll Dorsets and White Suffolks at Elmore from 10am to 3pm, the information day is a free event for lamb producers covering new products as-

sisting with sheep health, the latest breeding trends including the importance of intramuscular fat, shear force and lean meat yield.

Keynote speaker, Sheep Genetics Senior Development Officer Emma McCrabb will outline the advantage of using superior sires to maximise genetic improvement while Claire Marriott, of Gundagai Meat Processors, will cover on gaining premiums under

the Gundagai Lamb Quality score with intramuscular fat and lean meat yield.

Dean Bellingham, Shearwell Special Projects Manager, will speak on electronic identification tags and new sheep handling equipment.

Following a barbecue lunch, Meg Hanrahan, Leading Animal Health Officer, Animal Welfare (Northern), will outline the importance of vaccination against Ovine

Johnes Disease and Brucellosis, along with footrot and other biosecurity issues.

Appropriate management of Barbers Pole and other worms, vaccination for arthritis and the correct application techniques will be covered by Zoetis senior livestock sales representative Heidi Sutherland.

Wrapping up the day will be information on Flexolt, the new oral treatment for lice and other products rele-

vant to the red meat industry from Rachael Holmes, Coopers Animal Health.

Seminar visitors can inspect the rams on display to be offered on-property at Pepperton on October 18.

Pepperton co-principal Roger Trewick said it was important to provide the latest industry research, technology and best practice information for commercial sheep and lamb producers to help lift productivity and

Farmers roll into city to roll back renewables

FARMERS from across the North East joined their compatriots from across the state in protest against renewable energy plans that will see prime agricultural land ripped up and replaced with transmission lines and towers.

Tractors, prime movers and utes rolled into Melbourne last Tuesday, with industry stakeholders urging the government to rethink its plans to destroy prime agricultural land throughout Victoria.

The farmers, from all different parts of the state, are warning that our food and fibre production is at risk, with thousands of kilometres of prime land set to be ripped up and replaced for wind turbines, towers and transmission lines.

Federal Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud, said the reckless race to achieve 82 per cent renewables by 2030 would have huge consequences on the agriculture sector.

He said he previously asked the Prime Minister for a National Energy Summit, to put all options on the table, but the best the government could do was a small inquiry into how to consult better.

“We are not against renewables, but Labor is threatening to take away the tools our farmers need to provide Australians with fresh, healthy and affordable food,” said Mr Littleproud.

“Farmers are becoming increasingly anxious about the situation – which is why they have come to Parliament House to

SHOW OF STRENGTH: Farmers and industry stakeholders took to the steps of Parliament House as part of the protest against transmission lines through agricultural land. plead with the state government.”

Plans for renewables, including 28,000 kilometres of transmission lines at a cost of at least $80 billion, will impact farmers like Gre Gre grain, vegetable and bean farmer Billy Baldwin.

He said he made the 300-kilometre journey to

Melbourne with his tractor to raise awareness.

“People need to realise renewables will carve up prime agricultural land,” Mr Baldwin said.

“It will decrease our efficiency to farm and to feed people – resulting in higher grocery prices.

“There are better ways if we

take a slight step back and have a look at what is happening.”

There are fears that projects such as the Victoria New South Wales Interconnector West (VNI West) will compromise the livelihoods of farmers and the biosecurity and productivity of the land.

profitability in their own flocks.

“It is important producers have access to the tools to enable them to make the best possible breeding and feeding decisions in their own environment to optimise animal health and maximise market specifications,” Mr Trewick said.

Victorian input vital in national soilknowledge quest A SURVEY to understand soil issues, knowledge gaps and opportunities across Australia is now open.

Dr Peter Fisher, soil co-ordinator with the Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption & Innovation Hub (Vic Hub), said people know the importance of soils in sustaining healthy food production and for protecting the environment and biodiversity.

“But the pressure to improve soil health – while aiming for net zero emissions to minimise impacts on climate change – requires developing and adopting better soil-management practices,” he said.

“For this reason, the regional soil co-ordinators, who are based across the country at each of the eight Drought and Innovation Hubs, are asking people involved in soil management to complete a new survey on the soil issues, gaps and opportunities in their region.”

Results from the survey – which is open to all those interested in the future of soils, from agriculture to natural resource management – will help inform the design and delivery of targeted soil interventions to address priorities under the National Soil Strategy.

The survey can be accessed via the QR code with a smartphone or this URL: https://melbourneuni. au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/ SV_6JSMQiYe7PnF2YK Anyone wanting help, or more information about the survey, is encouraged to contact Peter via email fisher.p@unimelb.edu.au or mobile 0408 145 619.

Mansfield Yellow knocked out of finals in nail-biter game W&DJFL

By NICK DUNN WELL what a day it was on Sunday.

The crowd really turned out to see arguably one of the best displays of U14 local footy, in a game that came down to the absolute wire.

After getting the jump on us early, our guys managed to fight their way back into the contest and play the game on our terms.

Through brilliant team footy and a fantastic level of pressure they took a ninepoint lead into the main break.

The imps fought back in the third term to snatch the lead at three quarter time, but we came out firing in the last quarter and won the first couple of clearances out of the middle to immediately reclaim the lead.

The final parts of the game were played in their forward half with our back line repelling entry after entry and with scores tied with a minute to go a questionable free kick and 50m penalty gifted them a goal.

Final scores saw us lose 6.5 (41) to 6.11 (47).

Looking back now, it isn’t the result that’s sticking in my memory at all - it’s all the little moments.

Pheobe Guppy who had an outstanding day, that started by her getting absolutely crunched by a late hit by a huge fella, and bounced up like she hadn’t been touched.

Benny Baklis who stuck to his guns and found a way to quell the influence of their full forward who started like a train, and ended up beat-

Harry Theodosi whose attack on the ball particularly in that last quarter prevented countless goals.

Noah Langlands’s composure and ability to find a target under pressure nearly got us over the line.

Felix Smith, whose ability to attack the footy and be so clean below his knees, to then find a target through traffic was on full display yesterday.

Nick Hoskin whose strength in the contest and rebound off half back particularly in the third quarter during a period where they had the momentum was spectacular.

on the line to help out his mates.

Josh Taylor bobbing up time after time in the forward line with creativity and flare.

Big Reggy Watts bought on to stop the influence of one of their best players, and laid hard tackle after hard tackle and shut him out of the game.

Juddy Turner starting the game like a train with three or four huge and important pack marks.

Taj Kynnersley back to his brilliant best with massive pack marks up forward and constant presenting all day.

Lenny Gardner playing his small forward role to perfection and bobbing up for a couple of goals by getting under the feet of the big blokes.

Big Xav finding his way into the game in the second half and having a massive in-

fluence with his big one on one contested marking an absolute highlight.

Sam Kain working tirelessly through the middle and beating their three rotating rucks not only at the bounce, but around the ground.

Andy Friday who was again spectacular, but his moments were in the last quarter where his desperation to smother their first possession lead to us getting centre clearances and reclaiming the lead.

Gussy Robinson who, in spite of his size, played like the biggest bloke out there and was arguably our best afield.

His moment was his goal of the year contender snapping through an absolute belter from the boundary.

Finally, to my mate Dunny whose influence grew as the game went on.

PHOTOS: Melissa Beattie His moments in the last quarter with his huge bone crunching tackle on their best player stopped him in his tracks.

Rory Christopher had some really important touches early, keeping us in the game when they had the run of play at the start.

Mansfield makes a splash SWIMMING

By ALLI WALKER OVER 500 swimmers descended on Wangaratta Aquatic Centre over the weekend for the Victorian Country Short Course Swimming Championships.

Amongst them were five talented swimmers from Mansfield Swim Club - Rowena Creighton (11), Hannah Setchell (11), Lara Seaton (11), Keziah Wolfe (12) and Amelie Walker (18) who all achieved qualifying times over the last few months that enabled them to compete.

Saturday morning saw Kezi dive into the water for the 12-13 year 100 metre freestyle event with a swim that consolidated her personal best time.

The Sunday morning session kicked off with Rowena, Lara and Hannah taking on the 11U 50 m breaststroke events.

Each of the girls nailed their swims and came home with new PB times.

Rowena backed up her swim with the 11U 50m freestyle – again pocketing another personal best.

The afternoon session saw birthday girl Amelie kick off the wall for the 18O 50m backstroke – yet another PB for the team.

Our last swim for the weekend was Kezi in the 12-13 years 200m freestyle with one more PB to round off the weekend.

Coach Alli Walker was happy with the results.

“Our girls showed such determi-

nation, resilience and good sportsmanship on top of their excellent achievements over the weekend,” she said.

“Without an indoor pool locally, our swimmers are travelling to Benalla once or twice a week to train.

“These results are extraordinary considering their lack of pool time.

“Congratulations to all involved – with many thanks to the parents and families for their continued support.”

What’sOn

Sargant Shines Again LADIES GOLF

By LINDA TERRY A SMALL number of ladies ventured out on Tuesday (August 15) for nine holes off the shorter Gold course, which always presents a new outlook on the course.

The winner this time around was Shirley Nolan, scoring a very nice 19 points.

Runner up was Wendy Hunt with 17.

Then on Wednesday (August 16), with a few still away on various travels, 20 ladies were out on course for their Stableford round.

Once again, it was Captain Sheryl Sargent, who proved to be consistent and indeed somewhat tenacious to stay steady in the winter conditions while others still struggle.

Sargent won the day with 30 points, while Kylie Egan, who is also proving to enjoy the heavier course conditions, was to take runner up with 29 points and Marion Mitchell third with 27.

Nearest the pins went to Sargent on the 7th and 16th, Sam Bailey on the 3rd and Jenny Foster (good to see Jenny back) on the 12th.

Not long now before the District Championships are held in Benalla over three days, so everyone is looking for some fine weather to get in some last minute practise.

Or some can be really lucky and be spending this week enjoying what WA has to offer, with some golf on fabulous courses around the Mandurah area.

Mansfield Bowls gears up for new season

BOWLS

By LYN FOOTS MANSFIELD Bowls Club is steadily getting ready for the coming season.

The winners on the day

On Friday the winners of the day were George Peterson and Alan Dobson with 2 wins 33pts from Mark Bettany, Tony Pridham and Ross Par-

sons with 2 wins 32pts.

Sunday saw our indoor bowls struggling to keep up numbers, but we continue to support all those who are unable to play outdoor bowls.

Sunday’s winners were Pam Zierk-Mahoney, Dawn Jones, and Renee Prosser.

This week is the last round of indoor bowls so everyone

is very welcome to come and enjoy a game of bowls and wonderful afternoon tea and great raffles.

It has been great fun to be able to have a competition for those that are unable to compete on the outside bowling arena.

Indoor bowls has been run

by Keithy (Keith Millot) and

Lizzy (Elizabeth Christopher) for many years and we miss them. You both are missed very much.

The past week we saw the passing of a much respected member, Gregg Snider - our thoughts go out to Belinda and family.

Our love and thoughts are always with you.

The Mansfield Bowls Club Opening Day is on Sunday, September 17 at 12 pm and includes a free BBQ. There will be a game of bowls after opening of the greens.

There is a list up on the outside notice board.

All members and their guests are so very welcome.

WINNERS AND LOSERS

ROUND

Mooroopna maintains lead against Mansfield ■ From back page

Mooroopna’s finest included Daniel Johnston, Jed Woods, Liam Betson, Dom Gugliotti, and William Bella.

Eagles Coach Chad Owens said the low-scoring encounter was a testament to the “tricky conditions and high pressure”.

“I think both teams struggled for momentum so neither team could really hurt each other, especially at the start,” he said.

“We definitely had a few inaccurate kicks and moments where we could and should have capitalised more.

“We just need to be better in the little moments for longer.”

He commended Sam Lynch for a “fantastic eight-week block” and highlighted his

improvement on field.

The Eagles will face the Magpies this Saturday at the Euroa Memorial Oval.

Coach Owens said Mansfield will need to bring the pressure for their match.

“If you don’t come ready to play physical against Euroa, then you’re going to find yourself behind pretty quickly.”

The Mansfield reserves also braved the dreary weather to enjoy a stunning victory over Mooroopna.

The Eagles opened the first quarter with four goals, catapulting them into a formidable and comfortable lead.

The Cats limped behind, with their forward line struggling to

make an impact.

Jacob Howes was a force to be reckoned with and was responsible for nearly half of Mansfield’s nine goals.

Final scores saw Mansfield win 9.16 (70) to 2.5 (17).

Mansfield U18 can commiserate with their senior side, as they also lost their game by a small margin of eight points.

The U18s started strong, matching the Cats’ two goals in the first quarter and booting another one in before the siren.

Their pressure eased off in the second, allowing an onslaught of goals from Mooroopna.

Final scores saw Mansfield lose 7.3 (45) to 8.5 (53).

FIGHTING HARD: Eagles’ Dirk Koenen.

Clean sweep for Doon netballers O&KFNL NETBALL BONNIE Doon netballers have finished the Home and Away season on a grand note with all five teams now entering the finals after a one week break.

UNDER 15S

Bonnie Doon 39 def Tarrawingee 10 Best on court: Sadie Brakels sponsored by Gary Evans (Kyabram Greens Estate) Coaches Award: Keria Thornton sponsored by Mansfield Holiday Letting IT was the last game for the home and away season with finals up next.

A cold drizzling morning greeted the girls first up but that didn’t stop us from dominating the court against Tarrawingee.

From the defending end to the attacking end all girls played their role.

Throughout the season all of the girls have improved so much thanks to our amazing coaching staff who have taught us so much.

We started the season with six new players who had never played for Doon before and three from the 2022 under 15 team.

We only lost one game throughout the season which resulted in us ending the season on top of the ladder which is an awesome result as most of the team are first year under 15s.

We will have a week off and head into the finals.

If we keep playing like we have throughout the season with Bonnie Doon spirit, hopefully we can win the granny.

Good luck to all Doon teams in the finals.

by David Walsh Gas: Chelsea Neale THE Under 17s were excited for their last game of the home and away season before finals. The girls had a bit of a slow start but picked

up our game towards the end of the first quarter.

With Cobie GS and Stella in GA we had the perfect shooting duo.

We had Demi in C and Chloe in WA working the ball down the court and onto the ring.

Into the defensive end we saw Charlotte in GK, Emmeline in GD and Grace in WD who worked tirelessly all game to get many intercepts and rebounds.

Going into third quarter everyone was putting in their all to keep the ball our end of the court as much as possible.

There were some minor position changes which saw Maddie coming into WD and Casey into WA. When the opposition had the ball all the girls stuck tightly to their players making it hard for them to score.

Going into fourth quarter we saw Chelsea come into GK, Charlotte in GD and Grace into WD. The enthusiasm continued throughout the final quarter, the defenders keeping Tarrawingee under 30 goals and the attackers working hard to get the ball into the ring.

After the final buzzer the score was 50 -29 What a great way to end the season.

We had a reason to play to win, we were celebrating Maddie Cooksey’s 100th game and started with the centre pass.

Coach Tanner guided us onto the court with the team goal to just use our systems and solid defensive pressure from everyone.

The goals were firing at both ends with many seamless plays by both teams.

The break saw a score of 14-11.

During the break the instructions were simple, each player needed to step it up and very tight defence all over the court, win the ball at every opportunity.

The change saw the ‘Turnermator’ take the court in GD, taking a few early intercepts and there were many turnovers caused by the defensive pressure from each player, leading to quick and smooth transition into the eager hands of our goalers Michelle and Chrissy.

Half time showed the hard work put in, with the score at 30-16.

At the half time break ‘Nifty Nazza’ came onto GK ready to be the impact player she is renowned for and Han took the court in WD. Defensive pressure was strong, attacking systems were on point.

Madi H was a boss in WA, taking charge of the C pass and transitioning the ball onto and into the ring with

pure precision.

The last half was much like the first half, defence was strong and unbeatable, the attacking work was seamless with a lot of perfect passages of play.

In the end the fitness of the Bonnie Doon team was on point, overpowering the Tarra team.

Every single player went above and beyond to give their all, it was a team win in every sense.

With the score ending at 67-18.

Ripper last game, setting us up for a perfect finals preparation, ending the home and away season on top of the ladder.

by Anvil Brewery: Tara Murray BOONIE Doon displayed their dominance and secured a convincing 69-26

triumph over Tarrawingee on Saturday.

The team came out firing in the first quarter, Tara Murray provided plenty of options after some quick transition down to the top of the circle and the midcourt consistently found the shooters in the circle, making hard work for the Tarra defence.

Doon were in control early, putting smothering pressure on the Tarra attacking line and by half time owned a 21 goal lead.

Cass McCormack’s defensive prowess added to the home side’s lead earning her best on court for the game and the defensive mid-court pressure forced errors that contributed a further 13 goals to the lead by three quarter time.

Tarrawingee were composed and played hard to the final siren, however Bonnie Doon focused on the intensity required to see them through the next few weeks, ended the season with a solid team performance.

By PORTIA KEATCH

Bonnie Doon 64 def Tarrawingee 48

WOW, what a fantastic way to end the home and away season.

Coming home with another 7/7 win this week, Bonnie Doon is very proud to have all teams in finals.

Last Saturday we came up against Tarrawingee which the last time we faced them we went down by six goals.

We were determined to show them our massive team improvement since round 7.

Throughout the entirety of the game our positions remained the same which saw our ring defenders, Anna and Erin completely shutting down Tarra’s, GS who had proved to be a big threat from last time.

Shan’s pressure coming off the centre and around the ring helped to assist Anna and Erin by forcing the high balls into the ring making for some good intercepts and easy turnovers for the Doon girls.

With Mia in C and Annie in WA these two girls put on a show.

The connection between the two of them played an important role in our attack end.

With the girls working the ball both on and off the ring, it made time and opportunities for our shooters, Portia GS and Steph GA to get into position and put up their shots.

With both of their defenders having height and a strong build, Steph’s solid drives into the ring helped to draw the defenders off Portia making ample opportunities for the ball to be popped up and over.

Right through the whole four quarters we managed to take and keep our lead, which slowly increased as the game went on.

A massive thank you to our amazing supporters on the bench - Tahlia, Cass M, Casey T and our lucky charm Jess Harris.

Our final score for the last game of the season was 64-48.

Well done bombers what a way to finish off the season and a great way to come into the first round of finals.

Mixed results in winter tennis

TENNIS

By RHONDA CARPENTER

FOUR matches were played for the Round 12 Winter Tennis competition in glorious sunshine on Monday, August 14.

Eight teams fielded four players thanks to last minute substitutions found from leadership forums.

Euroa hosted Mansfield Black, Seven Creeks took on Moglonemby, Terip hosted Mansfield Red, and Mansfield Blue welcomed Benalla.

Euroa’s Lyndall Bigland and Sue Vaughan took a 3-0 lead in their opener against Mansfield Black’s Jenny

Bell and Rhonda Carpenter, but the visitors warmed up to equalize at four all.

Games went on serve after that with lengthy hardhitting rallies as teammates watched on.

Eventually the Euroa veterans claimed the set 8-6.

Ros Doxey and Mary Kelly won theirs 8-4 against returning player Di Ellis and first timer Agnes Kay. Black’s Carpenter combined well with newcomer Kay, and after starting 3-0 down, surprised themselves winning 8-5.

Euroa won all the other sets in prolonged battles 5/45 to 1/26.

Moglonemby and Seven

Creeks spent even longer on the Euroa courts in a match that could’ve gone either way.

Seven Creeks’ Rowena Ellis and Rosie Cameron took theirs 8-5 while Moglonemby’s Marlene Hanrahan and Robyn Johnson won 8-1.

The next two sets were decided by tiebreakers both going Moglonemby’s way.

A determined Deb Seach and Judy Sands played their best tennis edging out Seven Creeks by five games, 4/2 in a tough tight contest.

Terip were far too strong for Mansfield Red on their

home soil at Terip winning 6/48 to 0/13 while Benalla edged out Mansfield Blue by merely three games after sharing the sets three all.

Benalla 3/40 to Blue 3/37.

Two rounds remain, with the semi-finals played in Mansfield on September 4.

Mansfield Tennis Association will hold its AGM in the clubhouse at 7pm that night.

The club website now has new season membership fees and historical photos accessible to all.

by Subway: Emma Snell IT was a cold and wet day in Mansfield as Mooroopna rolled in ready to play.

As the whistle went for the first quarter Mansfield’s mid courters had to play smarter rather than faster given the wet conditions.

Mooroopna had the advantage of height which saw them take the lead early.

Eaglettes re-grouped at quarter time and came out fighting in the second to see the scores draw closer.

As the rain continued to fall and the court getting slipprier, Mansfield just couldn’t seem to get in front in the third quarter.

Mooroopna took advantage of the wet conditions and out played the home side in the fourth.

It was a disappointing game, however, Mansfield are determined to redeem themselves this week and hopefully secure a spot in the finals.

This was backed up by Molly and Chloe Judge, the dynamic sister duo that had such a strong connection, playing a quarter together and causing mayhem on the court.

Shout out to coach Latoya for sticking by us in such a tough game on and off the court.

Bring on Euroa this Saturday.

by Mooroopna 57 CONGRATULATIONS: Mansfield Eagles’ A-grade coach Nelle Cousins played her 150th game last Saturday and was congratulated by teammates.

Jess, Amelia and Jamie were making good movement in the ring allowing them to sink some great goals.

Defenders Molly J, Molly D, Harper and Mia all worked together with great communication forcing the opposition to make mistakes.

The final score didn’t reflect on the Eagles game as the teamwork out on court was some of the best this year.

THE under 17’s came out fired ready for the last home game.

The mid courters Emma, Eliza, Bri, Remy and Issy worked hard all game making the cats work hard for every ball.

IT was another case of the scoreboard not reflecting the contest on court in the B-Res game this week.

Mansfield wanted to come out strong for their last home game of the season and they did that in

TEAM EFFORT: Mansfield’s U15 netball have had a fantastic season.

the first quarter.

Mooroopna kicked into gear in the second quarter which set up their win and Mansfield were unable to swing momentum back, on a wet and slippery court.

Eagles have suffered some pretty key injuries this year which has seen its line-up change from week to week.

Grace and Mich were back in the shooting end together.

It was great to see their goals dropping and they worked hard against the physicality of the Cats defenders.

The feeding into the goalers from Leonie and Cassie was smart and patient, and their commitment in a contest was awesome to watch.

Mansfield’s defence end of Tyla, Caz, Bec and Bella had plenty of tips thanks to persistent pressure on the ball.

A shoutout to Eagles’ young guns Mia and Isabelle who filled in again this week playing a quarter each, to give us some

speed and fresh legs.

They had at least two intercepts each and had a real impact on the game in the second half.

It wasn’t the result Mansfield were after, but the girls left the court feeling like they’d had a crack and will be looking to finish the season with a win this week against Euroa.

by Joanne Holt: Chloe Judge COMING into the last game of the season the B-grade girls were ready to have some fun on the court.

Although sadly missing Becca Sanderson and Alice Langley, the girls were determined to enjoy the game.

It was a chilly start, with fingers frozen solid with the blistering Mansfield wind,

but this didn’t stop Molly Rekers and Teana Wards from sinking their shots, both of them slaying.

The Cats had a strong start and got ahead early on, however that didn’t stop Alicia Foster, Kara Dolling, Emma Witkiss and Latoya Wards from creating havoc in the mid court.

Although Alicia is short that didn’t hold her back, she zipped around, losing her player and placing herself perfectly on the ring to aid our shooters.

Kara definitely ate her weetbix last Saturday morning, throwing some awesome long bombs that were executed perfectly.

It was awesome to also see Brianna Weight come onto the court for her debut in B-grade, her quick feet and excitement adding something special on the court.

As the game progressed Matisse Gardiner put on her bouncy shoes and jumped higher than ever before to take some lovely intercepts on the accurate Cats’ shooters.

THE girls knew the day would be tough when they set out to play top contender Mooroopna.

Miss 150 games Nelle Cousins and Joey Bailey hard defence made life difficult for Mooroopna as they covered their players and picked off any free ball they could find.

Bringing the ball down the court by our defensive midfielders Sarah Anderson, Bella Riley and Sophie Carr-Patterson provided great opportunities for the goalies Grace Hood and Meg Mahoney to sink as many goals as possible.

As the game hit half time, the girls knew it was going to be tough and set out to leave as much on the court as possible.

Molly Dunn a came on and shine as she provided great defensive pressure and Molly Rekers entered the goals and did not disappoint with great accuracy and movement in the ring.

Though the girls missed out on a win, they pushed all the way through and are ready to keep fighting for the last game next week.

By SAMUEL O’BRIEN O&KFNL Football BONNIE Doon has finished at the top of the Ovens and King ladder after a smashing win against Tarrawingee at home.

Doon started strong and maintained their scoring rate throughout the game but Tarrawingee were able to sneak some goals through, putting some points on the board in the first and last quarter.

Bombers Coach Ken Murray said the visiting side had struggled with numbers this season and he was impressed at their dedication to play to the end.

“We’ve been there ourselves and know how hard that is,” he said.

“You can only beat who is put in front of you and the boys did that again this week.”

In the end Bonnie Doon 41.20 (266) defeated Tarrawingee 3.2 (20).

The team now looks towards the semi-finals in two weeks’ time.

Best: Beau Smith, Campbell Smedley, Matthew Hedin, Luke Murray, Will Foster, Joel Sanford.

Goals: Will Foster 11, Luke Murray 10, Al Bennett 5, Campbell Smedley 3, Jayjay Curtin 2, Matthew Hedin 2, James Law 2, Joel Sanford 2, Beau Smith 2, Luke Berriman, Sean Campitelli.

The reserves side also had a very successful match, scoring 23.14 (152) to Tarrawingee’s 4.1 (25).

The home side started out strong but let in some goals from the second quarter, allowing Tarra to capitalise on gaps in the reserves’ defence.

The Bonnie Doon reserves face an elimination final next week, with the team aiming to make it to the semifinals to battle it out for the top spot.

Best: Jackson Sole, Wayne Lockhart, Felix Johnson, Earl ReeGoodings, Sam Small, Codie Cummins.

Goals: Ben Hedin 4, Louis Timlock 4, Wayne Lockhart 3, Geordie Mclennan 3, Samuel Bennett 2, Felix Johnson 2, Earl Ree-Goodings 2, Partick Revell 2, Jordan Arbuthnot, Jackson Sole.

Mooroopna maintains lead against Mansfield

By HANNAH KENNELLY THE Mansfield Eagles seniors have suffered a nail-biting 10-point loss to Mooroopna over the weekend.

The disappointing defeat was particularly painful for Mansfield who have struggled to shake off sixth place on the ladder for several weeks.

The drizzly conditions at Mansfield Recreation on Saturday

did no one any favours – as both teams struggled to make any dent in the scoreboard.

A last-minute goal in the first quarter finally pushed Mansfield ahead.

The second quarter could only be described as a seesaw – the Eagles would boot a goal and the Cats would counter, with neither team managing to secure a solid lead.

Mooroopna’s Chris Neil

suffered a broken arm midway through the second, momentarily halting play.

However, the Cats seemed undeterred by the loss of their key forward and powered through in the third.

Their tough defence line was iron-clad, reducing Mansfield’s usual high scorers Cameron Arnold and Ben Christopher to just one goal each.

Multiple goals by Jack Hunt

pushed the Cats ahead to claim a 17-point lead in the third.

Mansfield brought a tough fight to the final quarter, but was unable to recover from the damage in the third.

Final scores saw the Cats snatch the victory 7.7 (49) to 5.9 (39).

Best on field for Mansfield were Sam Lynch, Ben Christopher, Jack Tomanovits, Daniel Leggett, and Jack Hutchins.
