LAST week the inaugural board members of the new Alpine Resorts Victoria (ARV) were announced, and although it raised some eyebrows, others have been quick to assure stakeholders that plans are already in place to keep things rolling smoothly. The four current Victoria resorts boards will be replaced on October 1 by a new single governance board - the ARV. Mark Bennetts, CEO of the current Mt Buller & Mt Stirling Resort Management Board said a lot of work is being done to make the transition as seamless as possible.“We’ve done a huge amount of strategic work with stakeholders over the past five years on making Mt Buller and Mt Stirling even better, and have captured that in our ‘Strategic Management Plans’ for both resorts so that the ARV Board doesn’t need to spend any time reinventing the wheel,” Mr Bennetts said. “We’re also working hard to make sure that our operations and capital programs continue smoothly before, during and after the Thoughchange.”therecently announced board has come under fire from many, long term identity and owner/ operator of Mt Buller’s Arlberg Hotel, John Perks, believes the new model is good and it will work for Buller.Michael Monester has been appointed to the new ARV board and is already a member of the current Alpine Resorts Coordinating Council.Hepreviously sat on the Mt Buller & Mt Stirling Committee of Management, is a Director of Patscherkofel Ski Lodge and a member of the Ski Club of Victoria.
“The change to ARV needs to address the question of funding if any progress is to be made in critical areas.”
The 2022 winter season is expected to go beyond that delivery with record numbers being recorded each and every week.

Jacqui Jennings is chair of the Mt Buller & Mt Stirling Resort Management Board and a member of the ARV Project Control Group. She previously explained earlier this season that she’s keenly aware the change could result in the new organisation being focused on itself for the first couple of years rather than on the needs of each resort.
The alpine takeover ■ From
“I
“I believe that we must build on the learnings from the past and appreciate the significant regional and state economic prosperity and jobs generated by the alpine resorts.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate change, Lily D’Ambrosio stated recently the new board will continue to undertake its statutory functions and support achieving the current vision.
More than a year ago Ms D’Ambrosio announced the reforms to Victoria’s alpine resorts sector, including the merging of Victoria’s existing alpine resort management boards into a new entity, and abolition of the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating council (ARCC) with its policy functions to be undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. The current six Victorian alpine resorts are at this time managed by four different resort management boards - Mt Buller & Mt Stirling, Falls Creek, Mt Hotham, and Southern Resorts (Mt Baw Baw & Lake Mountain).
“Our objectives include ensuring that governance changes respond positively to a broad range of stakeholder interests and that each unique resort collaborates on common matters while maintaining their individual characters and competitiveness.
The Victorian Government in its 2022-23 state budget included $5 million to assist Alpine Resorts Victoria (ARV) in its first year of operation, which will support transition to the new structure including combining functions, systems, technologies, contracts and processes across the alpine resorts.Over time, ARV is expected to achieve savings through improved coordination, efficiencies of scale and reduced duplication. They also claim a single entity will also allow a strategic, coordinated approach to resort management focused on the longerterm interests of the sector as a whole, while maintaining, leveraging and enhancing the unique characteristics of each resort for the benefit of their visitors and stakeholders.
Mt Buller resort contributes in a good year approximately $480m per annum to the neighbouring regions and Victoria.
Socrates Pilipasidis, President of the Mt Buller Chamber Commerce said the chamber supports the change to ARV - as long as it comes with a sustainable funding model.
“That’s why the resort management board produced a five-year strategic management plan for Mt Buller and for Mt Stirling over the past 12 months, and is pushing ahead with key projects that are important to the future of both resorts,” Ms Jennings said. “We want to help maintain the momentum on improving the resorts through the change to Alpine Resorts Victoria.”
“This comprehensive review will act as a guide for future planning and budget processes.“Inaddition, several pathways have been included for further investigation.”
New footpath strategy FOLLOWING community consultation, council’s Footpath and Shared Path Strategy 2022 has now been finalised. First created in 2016, the strategy is designed to guide the future expansion of the path network to provide safety, accessibility and connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists and horseMayorriders.CrJames Tehan said the draft was made available for consultation and received an impressive 117 submissions. “Pleasingly, the strategy has captured and incorporated a great deal of the feedback received including identifying and prioritising the pathway network for each major township (Mansfield, Bonnie Doon, Merton, Goughs Bay, Jamieson, Sawmill Settlement and Woods Point).
“This will ensure we govern to enrich visitor experiences and recreational opportunities for the people of Victoria and deliver on the government’s vision for alpine governance,” Mr Monester said. “I have spent most of my life, winter and summer, in alpine resorts and parks - I am motivated to ensure that governance learnings and stakeholder knowledge gained over many decades will be used to preserve, protect and enhance our unique alpine visitor experience, services and access, now and for future generations.”
Joel Dixon, President of the Mt Buller Ratepayers Association agrees, but at this time said he would need to give further thought on behalf of the stakeholder group.
These boards are responsible for resort vision and strategy, stakeholder engagement, governance, compliance, master planning, marketing, assets, and the delivery of effective and efficient services including public facilities, roads, carparks, potable water, sewage, waste, recycling, ski patrol and medical services.
He was also an executive director of Mt Buller Ski Lifts. believe the new ARV has a once in a generation opportunity to perform as a transformation board,” Mr Monester said following the announcement.
“The new board must listen to and respond to stakeholder input to successfully deliver its governance objectives.
“The fact that police were told about Debs and his guns three years before he killed policemen Rod Miller and Gary Silk is intriguing.“Butithas no bearing on who killed Adele Bailey.” Rule confirmed that back in 1995 after Ms Bailey’s body had been found, he’d been a told a story by an angry former police officer, a story which was the officer said was an open secret in the police force for many years at the He’dtime.been told the same story from the man again this week, more detailed than the murmurings he made 27 years ago. But it had nothing to do with Bandali“ThereDebs.isabsolutely no evidence Debs had anything to do with killing or disposing of Adele Bailey, given that the hidden spot where her remains were found was familiar only to relatively few people with local knowledge,” said Rule.

As the story goes, the group of unscrupulous police nominated the Jack of Clubs mineshaft in Bonnie Doon as the place to dump Ms Bailey’s body. It’s a story that remains just that - a story. A coronial inquest in 1999 didn’t sufficiently incriminate anyone enough to ever lay charges.“Theonly people who know who was with Adele Bailey when she died are either now dead or are not talking,” concluded Rule.

By SHAUN McMAHON BANDALI Debs didn’t kill Adele Bailey and dump her body down a Bonnie Doon mineshaft back in the 1970s - a group of unscrupulous police did that, according to sources of doyen crime journalist, Andrew Rule. Rule published a follow up piece last week following national coverage in the previous fortnight potentially connecting Debs to the murder through recently uncovered ‘information reports’.Speaking with the Mansfield Courier this week, Rule confirmed the piece was intended as a clarifier to speculation surrounding Debs’ involvement.

“The things you do and a nice link to my long history skiing in the Indian Himalaya.”
PARTING AGAIN: Mountain manager Nick Reeves shared a parting gift of a small whiskey flask as Huw Kingston left Mt Buller and continued his Odyssey north.
“I also found myself skiing with an idol, not of mine, but a Hindu god, in celebration of tolerance and understanding.
“After resting up on the Sunday, I enjoyed a great day on the Mt Buller slopes on the Monday, skiing there for the first time,” Huw“Onsaid.Monday (August 15) I enjoyed some lovely runs at Mt Buller skiing among the most stunning of ice formations dangling from the snow gums. “How easy it is to climb mountains with chairlifts.
“The weather indeed broke just after I got across and a mixture of rain and sleet soaked me to the bone,” Huw said. “A couple of days later I finally reached Mt Stirling, and enjoyed the trails there, before coming across to Mt Buller.

“I can’t deny it was rather nice on Saturday night to have my first hot shower and soft bed in a fortnight,” said Huw from Mt Buller where he was hosted by the“Iresort.doubt I’ll ever again make that much effort to reach a ski resort.”Itwas, as expected, a tough first few weeks for Huw. Heavy rain early on washed away the snow at lower elevations and brought its own challenges. Thick bush did all it could to tangle Huw’s skis carried on his pack and one horrendously slippery log crossing across a swollen river was memorable. A rib injury added to the challenge.Huw pushed hard on very long days, particularly in the week leading up to his arrival at Stirling, desperate to traverse the infamous Crosscut Saw before the weather broke again. “You get what you get in an Australian alpine winter, but for sure it felt like my skis were a form of crucifix carried on my pack, not sliding under my feet,” Huw said. “A ski crucifix heading to the 12 ski stations.” Huw continued.

ON Saturday, August 13, two weeks after setting off from Mt Baw Baw, Huw Kingston arrived at Mt Buller, as thick snow fell, having skied across from Mt Stirling.These marked the third and fourth snow resorts of his Alpine Odyssey, which he is expected to take some 50 days to ski and walk the 700km length of the Australian Alps this winter and, along the way, skiing at each of the 12 snow resorts. His Alpine Odyssey aims to raise $50,000 for Save the Children’s Our Yarning project.
“It was certainly nice to put them on as I approached King Billy and Mt Howitt, but then it was crampons, metal spikes for my boots, all the way along the Crosscut Saw.”
The Crosscut Saw, as its name suggests, is a series of rocky pinnacles joined by a very narrow ridge and it is undoubtedly the most challenging winter ridge traverse in the alps.

STILL SINGING: Entertainer Denis Tucker was guest speaker at the Vietnam Veterans remembrance anniversary recalling his time as an entertainer to troops during that war.
SERVICESMUFFLEREXHAUSTPROVIDINGNOW&
LAST Thursday marked the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan - the Vietnam War. To mark the occasion the Mansfield RSL held a short service at the Menin Memorial Gates in Highett Street where about 20 former Vietnam servicemen gathered to acknowledge their time during this war and remember their comrades, either living or passed. The anniversary marked the Battle of Long Tan in 1966, where Australian soldiers fought one of their fiercest battles of the war at a rubber plantation near the village of Long Tan.
In the battle, Delta Company, 6th Battalion the Royal Australian Regiment, were heavily outnumbered by an enemy force of more than 2000. They held fast for four hourssupported by artillery fire from the Nui Dat base - before reinforcements arrived. The battle of Long Tan led to the greatest loss of life on a single day for Australians during the conflict, killing 18 soldiers.
“Eight in our band (Jigsaw) went over to Vietnam, of which only four are now still living,” Mr Tucker said. Among those who became famous following this war and had travelled with Mr Tucker were Pat Carroll, Ron Gilbee, Johnny Chester, Yvonne Barrett, Jack Perry (Jig and Jag fame), Ollie Wright and Ray Eames. Outlining the long flight to get to Vietnam, with many stops for refuelling, he described arriving and being transported to the army“Chickenbases.wire was all over the windows of a bus and when we asked why we were told to deter hand grenades being thrown into the buses,” he said. Mr Tucker recalled the concerts for troops, visiting base hospitals to catch up with the injured, getting over sickness and entertaining in a ‘war zone’.

SIX decades after Australia became involved in the Vietnam War, Victorians last week paid respect to the 60,000 Australians who served for more than a decade, including 3000 who were wounded and 521 who lost their lives.To ensure these sacrifices are immortalised, the State Government is investing $10 million to help deliver a new purpose-built site to house the National Vietnam Veterans Museum on PhillipTheIsland.investment will support the museum to modernise its exhibitions, increase visitor capacity and improve visitors’ understanding of the Vietnam War and its impacts. It will also enable the museum to better engage with the veterans’ community and its volunteers. This will honor those lives lost, those who survived and the lasting impacts on families, carers and veterans in our community.Thegovernment is also investing $200,000 in the Supporting Those that Served program - funding of $50,000 will ensure that the stories and history of Vietnam Veterans will be digitally recorded, with $150,000 in grants for ex-services organisations to provide wellbeing support.Minister for Veterans Shaun Leane said “We will never forget the sacrifices made by the thousands of Australians who served in the Vietnam War. “This will preserve and honor those sacrifices so future generations will never forget.”

“It was hairy at times after all it was a war zone,” he said. “Vietnam service personnel gained no recognition when they returned from that war; it took many years before a Vietnam plaque was initiated by the Australian Government, however, there was a citation from the USA“Vietnamgovernment.Servicemen were the ‘forgotten veterans’; no pat on the back when they came home,” Mr Tucker recalled. “Since that war recognition has now been gained, but sadly we have lost a lot of good people afterwards, many due to mental problems - every war is like that though,” he said. “We should not glorify war, we should just remember - that’s theMrjourney.”Tucker said the best thing about his time in Vietnam was ‘landing home in Melbourne; glad it was over, glad to have been born in this country and glad that I came to Mansfield, it is the best place in Australia’. “That was my time in Vietnam - I’m glad I did what I did,” he concluded.

Snowgum TUE,
On Thursday Bill Romans introduced the Mansfield remembrance service and spoke briefly about the first Australian soldier killed in that war - Kevin George Conway, aged just 35, who was with the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam. He was killed in action at Nam Dong, on July 6, 1964. Mr Romans said he had a personal connection to Warrant Officer Conway as he was his Platoon Sergeant at the time. Guest speaker for the service was Denis Tucker who in his inimitable style outlined his visit to Vietnam during the war as an entertainer along with many notable singers and musicians.

“Jen was nothing short of remarkable.”Whenher son Raif died 10 years ago, she decided to walk the ancient pathways of the Camino de Santiago across northern Spain (800km) with his ashes, journaling along the way, without fail, every footthrobbing weary night. After 35 days of trekking, she returned home, and drawing from her journals, wrote ‘Motherling’, a poignant, brave memoir of that life-saving walk and her growing adjustment to life without Raif. A sharp editor and writing mentor to so many, Jen ran writers’ retreats and masterclass workshops to arm her writers with the techniques publishers expect to see in submission ready manuscripts.
REMEMBERED: Jennifer Hutchison will be remembered for her kindness, help, and enthusiasm in whatever she did.

woman - Jennifer Hutchison 31-3-1952 to 4-8-2022 MANY Mt Buller and Mansfield residents were saddened to hear of the recent and unexpected passing of Jennifer Hutchison. ‘Jen’ as she preferred to be called, was a member of the Mt Buller-Mt Stirling Board of Management up until 2016 and at the time of her resignation was chair of that board. She contributed much to the development and forward plans of both resorts (Buller and Stirling) during her time on the board. Jen also owned a property at Piries for some time before returning to Melbourne where she established her publishing company ‘Journeys to Words’ - concentrating on helping the older generation to fulfil dreams of becoming published writers.
Also described as a ‘beautiful writer’ Jen - establishing Journeys to Words in 2014 helping many other writers achieve their goals. As someone who was always writing, be it letters, journals, board papers, grant submissions or taking writing classes, Jen created Journeys to Words as a blog and her anecdotal observations and life lessons soon garnered heartfelt interest and a loyal readership. As a mature age writer herself, she soon realised that, as an age group, they were overlooked by the traditional publishing industry and needed a platform and representation.So,naturally, at the age of 67, Jen filled that gap and became a publisher, to bring their writing to the market. In a moving memorial service, Jen was described as being fearless, radiant, brilliant, thoughtful and kind, she was Tributesirrepraceable.described Jen as a wonderful person who lived life to the full, generous and did it her way; she championed others as both friend and mentor. Jen enabled others to reach their limits, helping them to do things they didn’t believe they could do. She had a sense of vision, not just for her own life but for those around her. Husband, partner and soulmate for 30 years Grahamspoke about his life with Jen, his times when they were apart due to business commitments and their joy in reuniting at the end of each journey. He spoke of combining two families into one and making their family a ‘blended’Grahamone.said “Jen approached this diagnosis of cancer as she did all things - with curiosity, open heartedness, grit and practicality.
“Her legacy lives on in all of us whose lives she touched, and we learned from her in a myriad of ways,” Graham said.
Jen Hutchison died at home peacefully on August 4, 2022 in Melbourne with her family by her side. She had been diagnosed with Stage-4 cancer at the end of May. In true dynamic ‘Jen style’ - two days after her cancer diagnosis, she submitted her Master’s thesis ‘An Autoethnographic Epistolary Study’ on the culture of silence surrounding abuse, and graduated RMIT’s Master of Writing & Publishing, with distinction.Atthecommencement of her memorial service, Kimber Griffith, a life cycle celebrant described Jen Hutchison as “an absolutely stellar human; a woman with a remarkable talent for living in the moment; an incredible seeker and wanderer a talented author, long-form walker and writer, but more than that a wonderfully kind, sensitive and positive human who was the beloved mother to Judd, Tim and Samantha and to her lost son Raif.” In a letter written just prior to her death she wrote about an honest and accepting approach to cancer - “soon it will all come to a stop, I am at peace with that too, no regrets, and no fear, acceptance - a sense of a well lived life, lessons well learned, mission complete, time to go, this body is tired.”

COMMUNITY consultation with residents of Malcolm Street, Mansfield has resulted in the proposed 2.5m wide shared footpath planned for one side of the street being moved to the other (north) side. Mayor Cr James Tehan said the $240,000 project was another example of how council engages in issues that affect residents. “The collaboration with the community will now deliver a shared footpath on Malcolm Street on the side where it will get the most use,” Cr Tehan said. He said the footpath was first planned for the southern side of the street but during consultation, there were many requests to consider moving the alignment to the other side (north side) of Malcolm“ThisStreet.was because it connects many more residents, allows for safer travel to Mansfield’s facilities and an easier construction process,” Cr TehanThesaid.footpath is jointly funded by Council and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). The new spray sealed bituminous and gravel path will connect to the existing gravel path at Lords Reserve and extend to the Malcolm Street/Kidston Parade intersection. Path lighting will also be installed on existing power poles at selected locations.Council is currently planning the design and construction of the footpath, with construction expected to be completed in early Residents2023. will receive further communication regarding the works in the coming weeks.

Footpath access may also be affected as we work on plumbing, which is external to the building.Stage1construction works for the library's redevelopment are expected to have minimal impact on the library's open hours. While the main entrance of the Library will remain open, signage and barriers will be in place to direct pedestrians and road traffic.
“My partner works fulltime seven days a week, and because of the seasonal nature of his job, he couldn’t take the time off to get me to or from Wangaratta,” she said.“I explained this to the hospital.“Ihad my partner on speaker phone to further clarify the situation. “We both made it clear that he wouldn’t be able to collect me if I was transferred to Wangaratta.”
COMMUNITY MINDED: Kate McGuigan answered Kate Martin’s call for help, when she found herself stranded in Wangaratta after a CT scan for a head injury.
Ms Martin grew up in the Mansfield Shire and has only recently returned after living in Melbourne for the last four years. “I was working on Neighbours and moved back when it ended,” she said. As a result she has a limited support network in town. When she needed help, there was nobody else she couldHowever,call. according to Ms Martin the Mansfield Hospital reassured her that transport would be organised there and back. She ended up being put in an ambulance and taken to NorthEast Health. It then took an additional three hours to get the results from her CT scan in Wangaratta, sitting outside in the cold amongst an active building site as the emergency department is expanded. She had to push for a prognosis, with a doctor finally informing her that the CT scan was looking pretty good, however there was a small hairline fracture in herSheskull.was then discharged. This was late in the day, and it was beginning to get dark.“Iasked the nurse when patient transport was arriving to take me home,” Ms Martin said. She was informed that there was no patient transport and that she would have to find her own way home. “I told the staff that they had a responsibility to get me home.
“It’s just not good enough,” said Ms McGuigan, when recounting the experience. “Where was the empathy and the “Wherecompassion?wastheduty of care?”
“That this was promised before I even agreed to get into the ambulance. “I explained that I had no car, no way to get home to Mansfield, and that my partner“Iworks.didnot have the financial resources to spend on a taxi.”Itwas then that the nurse in charge came out to deal with a distressed Ms Martin.According to Ms Martin, the nurse proceeded to denigrate her partner, querying what sort of person doesn’t come and get their girlfriend from the emergency department.“Iwas appalled that she could just insult a person she didn’t know and make this judgement on my personal situation,” Ms Martin said.Ms Martin was then told she should go and book into a backpackers, or alternatively get in touch with the local homeless service. It was then that she called her partner in tears, and the couple tried to organise a transfer of cash so that Ms Martin could go and find accommodation.MsMartinalso posted details of her predicament on Facebook, hoping to hitch a ride.At 5.30pm that evening, Ms McGuigan saw the post and made contact. Ms McGuigan then organized care for her children - the youngest of whom is eight - and got in her car and drove to Wangaratta. When she arrived, Ms McGuigan called Ms Martin. “It’s okay,” she told Ms Martin.“Stop crying. “Try and tell me where you“I’veare.come to get you.” It was close to 9pm when they got home to Mansfield.

A TRIAL aiming to replace up to 1000 unsafe vehicles on Victorian roads will subsidise up to 150 drivers to help them purchase a newer car.

The trial includes the replacement of unsafe vehicles that are more than 16 years old and have poor safety ratings with more modern vehicles that include safety features to help prevent crashes entirelysuch features include lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking systems. With many young Victorians expressing cost as a key barrier in accessing safer vehicles, this program will help many get behind a safer wheel before hitting the road.

Roadsafe North East executive officer John Weinert welcomed the initiative to subsidise safer vehicles for young people and said it’s all about encouraging people to purchase a five-star ANCAP safety rated vehicle.

New WoodsservicerecyclingforPoint MANSFIELD Shire Council has worked with its waste contractor to begin a recycling service in Woods Point, starting in September. Mayor Cr James Tehan said the decision was made in response to residents’ requests for a recycling service.Theissue was raised by a local resident in a comment left on the Engage Mansfield page for Council’s Climate Action Plan. The resident said: “A great start in the smaller towns like Woods Point, Gaffney’s Creek and Matlock would be an option to be able to recycle.
Council officers investigated and after negotiations with the contractor who currently supplies the general waste skip at Woods Point, council has confirmed that the contractor will also provide a recycling skip at Woods Point. The Woods Point Progress Association has been provided with an update on the planned service delivery date.

And what are our colourful kids up to this week? Cross country skiing, of course, with fresh snow below and blue skies above. Ah, to be a kid (or a teacher) at a small school! Hannah JamiesonPrincipalMadinPrimary School *Real names have been suppressed to protect international reputations.
MANSFIELD Secondary College (formerly Mansfield High School) was opened in 1962, operating out of the St Johns Anglican Church Hall - now the red brick building in the primary schoolKeithgrounds.Hollingsworth was the inaugural principal, with 15 teaching staff Several of the staff from that time are long standing families within the community - names such as Dundas, Campagnolo, Barr, Clarke, and Marsden. The school had 14 students in form 5, which was the highest grade at the time. Jump forward 60 years to 2022 and the school has grown to 470 students with a staff team of 71 (50 teachers). “The school has gone through a dramatic growth period in the last few years”, said Principal Tim Hall.
There’s never a dull moment at Jamieson Primary. The beauty of a small school is that enthusiasm builds on itself. I am constantly blown away by the imagination, innovation and intelligence of the Jamo kids. They accept and embrace their differences and quirks with good humour, good manners and great fun. It’s all the small things - a giggle here, a dress up there, some role-playing and a whole lot of playfulness - that combine at our school to set the scene for the big things: respect, confidence, collaboration and persistence.

“One particular constituent flagged me down to show me the damage done to his car during the middle of the day from hitting a sambar deer,” he said. “I have seen more and more dead sambar on the roadsides.
“The final piece of the old school, the B block, was demolished in October“We2021.are looking forward to seeing what the future brings for Mansfield Secondary College.”
It’s the Small Things: musings on the beauty of small schools. Yesterday, Bear Grylls* came to Jamieson Primary School. He looked the part. Camouflage jacket to hide himself in the bush, black and white headscarf to provide vital protection from heat and cold, even a camo survival pack, stuffed with brightly coloured highlighters and textas. His sister, Willy Wonka*, sported curly purple hair and a patchwork top hat, while Ninja Kid* was recognisable from the simple strip of blue cloth across his eyes concealing his true identity. Alex Ryder* looked deceptively ‘regular’ as he infiltrated our small, rural community school, no doubt on a mission of top-secret, international importance.

MP plea to fix country roads, tackle deer problem North East-based state MP Tim McCurdy has raised concerns in parliament about the state of roads following his recent tour of his electorate.MrMcCurdy told members in the lower house that he had residents across the North East telling him about the poor state of repair on their regional roads.
“How many more lives need to be lost for the Victorian Government to wake up to this horrible reality? “This lack of investment is going to cost regional lives for many years to Mrcome.”McCurdy said “out of control” populations of sambar deer throughout the electorate were another major concern, contributing to further danger on country roads.

The initial request came after Beolite sought legal advice which indicated the parent and residential assessments all meet the threshold for being non-rateable.However,council’s legal advice contradicted this, stating only the Community Centre met this Councilclassification.furthernoted the waiving of planning fees for the village ($9390 since 2015) and discounted differential of 92 per cent of the general rate for their undeveloped land by classifying it as rural residential and not residential. A unanimous motion was passed at the most recent meeting for the refund of rates, municipal and community waste charges paid since 2019, when the Community Centre became a separate assessable property, now considered nonrateable.“Beolite Village is very respected in this town,” said Mayor Cr James Tehan.

First look at ABC series shot in Myrtleford
DINNER Plain was dog city last weekend, with more than 300 canines and their owners racing in the Dinner Plain Sled Dog Sprint.This is the first time the popular event had been able to run in several years due to cancellations caused by COVID - but the wait was certainly worthwhile. The turnout was immense, with an estimated 1000 people watching dog teams compete over two days of racing, whilst Dinner Plain village was at its 3000 bed capacity for what has been its busiest weekend this snow season. With 70 teams racing across categories of two, three, four and six dog teams, there was some fast paced racing through the steep icy sections of the snowy course. This included some spills with many mushers heading home with some bumps and bruises from the event. The sled dog community holds this event as their favourite on the annual calendar, being the only one with snow to race on rather than using their wheeled sleds.

The Daffodil Day Appeal will take place throughout August, culminating in Daffodil Day on Thursday, August 25. However, for most of Mansfield, Daffodil Day will be celebrated on Saturday, August 27 at the local Farmers’ Market in High Street. Mansfield Girl Guides will hold a stall selling Daffodils with all proceeds going to cancer research. Guide leader Narelle Stevenson said the Guides wanted to help out with a worthy cause, while at the same time working towards their community services badge. The stall at the Farmers’ Market is expected to be at the Highett Street end of the High Street median stripopposite the post office. Cancer Council and its research partners invested more than $290 million in world class cancer research from 2016 to 2020, making the organisation the largest independent funder of cancer research in the country. Thanks to investment in research, amazing advancements have been made in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment - helping to increase survival rates from 51 per cent in the late 1980s to around 70 per cent. With 95 Victorians being diagnosed with cancer every day, Cancer Council Victoria’s CEO, Todd Harper AM, urged the community to give this Daffodil Day Appeal to fund the country’s best and brightest cancer researchers.

THE MMuDS production of The Elephant Man is set to open on Saturday, August 27 and run until September 3 for five shows. The show has been in rehearsal since June and the cast and crew are looking forward to welcoming audiences back to the PAC after 16 months.Dress rehearsals are going along smoothly, with a couple of preview performances coming up before opening night. The Elephant Man is based on the true story of John Merrick, a man afflicted with an unusual disorder during the Victorian era. The title character is played by the new-to-the stage Jack Arrowsmith, who delivers an astute and convincing performance, both verbally and physically in manipulating his body to mimic Merrick’s deformities. At this time in history there were lots of medical advances so Merrick was fortunate to be treated by a talented doctor. That doctor, Frederick Treves, is played by Sandy Mackinnon, who matches a commanding stage presence with a delightful periodcorrect accent and mellifluous enunciation.DuringMerrick’s time of treatment he became the toast of London society who admired his creativity and intelligence. The story starts off sad, with John Merrick being paraded at freak shows, but having been ‘rescued’ from this lifestyle he finds that he is able to express himself and inspire others.IanTodd as Carr Comm is impressive, his energy working perfectly alongside Mackinnon’s portrayal of Treves. And Bec Bolwell’s presence and stagecraft in her portrayal of Mrs Kendal adds depth of character and wonderfully complements Arrowsmith’s portrayal of Merrick. This is a story of hope and enlightenment.“It’sabeautiful story, with many interesting characters coming into his life,” said show director Karen Pirie. “Of course the Victorian era lends itself to costuming opportunities and with an experienced 12 person cast supporting new-to-the stage Jack Arrowsmith, who plays the role of the Elephant Man, this will be a play offering great entertainment.” And entertain it does, with further outstanding performances from an experienced cast, including Cathie Smith, Liam Wilson, and Rick Lyndsay, whose delivery in the role of Bishop How is equal parts resounding, humorous, and enjoyable.Thisisa well written play with tasteful direction, considered sets and costumes, with a charming mix of serious and light hearted moments.Ticketsare now on sale at www. mmuds.org.au.
“Every person who donates or buys daffodils this August will be helping us to continue investing in life-saving cancer research programs, giving hope for better treatments and early detection and ultimately, giving us hope for a cancer-free future.”

“Very good sale, I thought prices were pretty strong,” he“Wesaid.did notice prices have jumped up again and there’s plenty of cattle here.
SOME 3542 cattle were yarded at Friday’s Gordon Sinclair Memorial Spring Feeder and Weaner sale in Wangaratta collectively grossing $7.2 million for an average price per head of $2065.Heifers and Angus steers averaged a price of $7 per kilo and beyond in some instancesCorcoran. Parker cattle agent Justin Keane said the sale exceeded his already high expectations. “It was a very strong sale, a great day,” he said. “Everyone was expecting it to be a reasonable sale but it was probably another level on top of that - it was very good.“Going into spring people are starting to get a bit of grass, I don’t see it changing tooOnemuch.”of the many cattle farmers to cash in at the spring sale were Patrick and father Pat Del Mastro, who yarded 40 head of young Angus cattle at an average of 393kg from their third generation Bobinawarrah farm. Mr Del Mastro said the close to $6 per kilo of prices he received from the sale was exactly what he had hoped for and expects a solid spring season.
“We’re doing good, looks like it’s going to be a pretty good spring so far, there’s plenty of water lying around.”MrDel Mastro said he hopes to be back at the livestock exchange for the February sale with a new batch of autumn calves to sell. It was the third edition of the spring sale in memory of the late Wangaratta cattle agent Gordon Sinclair, but the first time any of the family members have been able to attend due to COVID-19 restrictions in recent years.
David Sinclair, son of Gordon along with Peter, Greg and family observed the action of the auctions. Mr Sinclair said it was special to be back among his home community and to see the sale for himself.

CENTRALS:
By CHRIS STONEY AFTER a thrilling win against the Wang Maggies in the first week of the finals the Mansfield U17 boys came up against the undefeated and minor premiers Myrtleford Saints at the Wang showgrounds on Saturday for a place in the Grand Final. Despite all the rain during the week and a few heavy showers during the day the ground was in pretty good condition for footy and it was with much excitement the game got underway with us kicking to the northern end with a reasonable breeze at our backs. Our boys started where they left off last week with some good fast footy and with a revamped finals game plan they took control of the game early as the Myrtleford boys who hadn’t played for three weeks looked a bit rusty. Oscar Clelland was our standout player early playing at centre half forward he grabbed the game by the scruff and kicked the first two goals both from long range bringing the large Mansfield crowd to their feet. We were playing good footy all over the ground with everyone playing their roles well, summed up by a Dan Bruno smother on the half back line and then a Ben Reardon silky goal (who we welcomed back from a hamstring), and we were flying. Not to be outdone Myrtleford stacked their forward line with some of their taller players and got a goal back with a big mark and fortunately for us a few set shots missed and only scored minorInscores.thesecond Myrtleford came out hard and threw everything at our boys and gained a bit of momentum back but it was Cozzy who stood up again and kicked what turned out to be our only goal for the quarter but with some magnificent defensive pressure from the likes of Hunter Reeve , Ashton Dean, Kai Longstaff, Sam Guppy and River Reeve and the rest of our back six we held Myrtleford to only the one goal with the wind. The Myrt boys didn’t like not getting their own way and things started to unravel a bit for them with plenty of undisciplined acts giving our boys free kicks and 50 metre penalties. Our coaches were so proud at half time that our boys didn’t get sucked in to this bad behaviour but kept playing the footy. In the third things went from bad to worse for the opposition with the umpires paying free kicks and fifty metre penalties one after the other; at one stage Riley Hall got a free at half back and poor discipline gave him 2 x 50 m giving him an easy goal and then Jack Stoney got a 50 giving him a goal from close range.Jack Mark , Harry Purcell and Riley Northcott popped up with a ripper goal each and all of a sudden it was us leading by 42 points at three quarter time. What a great feeling it was going into the huddle with this sort of a lead and our coaches were so proud of our boys and how they had stuck to playing our brand of Thefooty.fourth was when the reality check was given to us when Myrtelford wrestled back the momentum and kicked four goals in pretty quick succession early in the term.We suddenly had a number of injury concerns and there was a few on field decisions by our players that went against our game plan that made us look a bit vulnerable, but it was the likes of Hunter Reeve, Will Friday (who was getting plenty of attention) , AJ Thomson and Adam Storer that stood up and stemmed the tide. We now wait to play the winner of next week’s prelim between Myrtelford and The Centrals.Mansfield 9.10 (64) defeated Myrtelford 6.12 (48).

By ANGELA DESMOND ON Saturday Mansfield headed to Wangaratta to play Imperials in a qualifying final.The first quarter saw Imperials on fire with a fast start and three quick goals. Our boys needed to get a wriggle on. Our goals came in the last ten minutes with the boys working hard in the centre to bring it into the goal square and working well together they managed to only be down by 17 points going into the second hard,goalsImperialsquarter.keptkickingbuttheboysworkeddefendingwellfrom the back line and working well through the centre to bring the ball down to our goal area.This saw them put a couple more goals on the board but it wasn’t quite enough; by the long break we were down by 24 points. Third quarter saw the boys kick into gear; they ran fast and defended well, holding Imperialstoonly two goals. They fed to each other and started to hit their targets; however the big sticks were a challenge and only could manage one more goal on the board.Going into the last quarter the boys were up and about and so were their cheer squad. They had held the Imperials well with no goals scored but getting the six points was a challenge; the defenders tackled hard and ran off the back line beautifully and the mid field didjobtheirwell, putting the pressure on, tackling hard and feeding to each other to get the ball down to Thegoal.boys worked well and managed two more goals however the clock beat the comeback and the boys fell short by two points.

B ByRESERVEISOBEL ANDERSON Mansfield 56 defeated Kyabram 40 Best on court, sponsored by Mansfield Golf Club - Isobel AndersonCoaches Award, sponsored by Joanne Holt and Subway - Stacey Doig and Caroline Trenfield THERE was a lot of nervous energy as we took the court on Saturday. We know Kyabram are a fierce opponent and are just below us on the ladder, so this was an important win for us and our confidence coming into finals. The first quarter was a tight contest. A few missed shots from Mansfield and centre breaks from Kyabram made us a little nervous but we were soon back on track and playing our style of game. We kept our heads up and dialled up in the energy, thanks to some much needed talk and encouragement from our gutsy C, Leonie Berry. Our WD Stacey Doig made two very helpful intercepts and our defensive pressure in all thirds helped us to a two point lead at the end of Q1. Our mission for each quarter was to build and improve and that’s exactly what we did. Our GK Robbie and GD Sarah turned up the heat in Q2, and were able to shut down the Kyabram shooters on multiple occasions. Some really strong rebounding and intercepts from both our defenders lifted the team and facilitated a few more Mansfield goals to extend ourOurlead.shots were landing, our wings were everywhere and our spirits were high. Despite our seven point lead at half time, Kyabram’s physicality and determination was felt, and we were not about to drop our guard. Mansfield captain Caz had a ripper third quarter and was all over her WA. Disrupting Kyabram’s play with two tips and an intercept, she was sending the ball back down to our offensive end. It was a close quarter and the pressure was on, with both teams making a few bad decisions and breaking a few centres passes. It was a tough and physical fight but our rebounding at both ends was doing well to keep us alive, and we were able to build on our lead by two points by the end of the quarter.Coming into the final term, we continued to push and started to break away. GS Isobel and GA Michelle were working seamlessly together in the goal third, holding strong, finding the lobs and converting on turn overs. Our defenders did not take their foot off the gas and the Kyabram shooters were working their guts out to receive the ball in the circle.Wehad a huge quarter for rebounds, tallying 10 collectively, making our push for a larger lead a much easier task. We had a late change over which saw Mansfield’s Alison Eslake come into WD and she did an amazing job at maintaining the pressure. Kyabram’s defenders were starting to feel frustrated as our shooting end put on a show. Kyabram definitely put us to work, it was a fierce battle and we are so pleased to come away with such a greatBringwin.on the finals!

ROUND 17 saw Mansfield take on Kyabram for the second time this season. Despite the unfavourably wet conditions, the eagles came out strong, focusing on their work rate and resting in front of their players.Thisenabled them to get a jump on the bombers, and they led by one point at quarterSensationaltime. work by the midcourters in the second quarter saw the girls stick tight to EmmaKyabram.Witkiss, Eliza Doig, and Molly Judge were all instrumental to Mansfield’s fiercely competitive game. The third quarter saw Tasia Ciarma come onto the court in WD, and Remy Stevenson in GS. The girls worked hard in defence to create turnovers and transition the ball into attack; however, the bombers defenders were strong, and many of the eagles’ feeds into the ring were picked off, allowing Kyabram to break away to a seven-point lead at three quarterGoingtime.into the final quarter the girls knew they’d have to give their all if they were to win. Harper Anderson and Jaspa Robinson did just that in defence, creating piles of turnovers for the Eagles. Annie Thompson and Amelia Clydesdale worked tirelessly against pushy defenders in the ring, managing to keep the score somewhat level with Kyabram.Despite giving it their best effort, Kyabram prevailed after what was an incredibly tough match, the eagles going down 35 to 27. The girls are looking to continue working on their game at training this week, and are hungry for one last win against Tatura in the final round of the season next week.

The defence by Tyla Ciarma, Molly Rekers and Chloe Judge made it harder for Kyabram to score. However, as fatigue settled in for the Mansfield girls and an injury to key player Britt Kipping, Kyabram were able to get the win with the final score being 15-60.

Eagles defenders Grace Hood, Nelle Cousins and Belle Edwards put everything on the line to make Ky attackers work extremely hard to get it into their goalers on Saturday. In the mid court Cass Dolling, Bella Riley and Dempsey Parsons worked tirelessly to transition the ball safely into the Eagles goalers.Goalers Meg Mahoney and Ellie Kipping came out with confidence this week, not allowing Ky defenders many opportunities for rebounds.Kywere strong with multiple Eagles taking some really hard hits throughout the game but Eagles held their own and didn’t let that affect their game. The Eagles did not give up for the entire game with the Eagles and Ky both scoring an even 11 goals in the last quarter.Unfortunately Eagles fell short of 13 goals this week against Ky but with it being such an improvement on the last time they faced them and such a strong rebound from last week’s game, the girls go into their final game of the season against Tatura with lots of confidence and feel that if they come out with the same level of fight that they did this week, there is a great chance that they can finish off their season with a hard earned win.
On Sunday, the Bombers reserves side travelled to North Wang to take on Greta in what promised to be a toughThetussle.Blues got off to a flyer and took a two goal lead into the second quarter. But the Bombers bounced back, and potentially could have even more so if it wasn’t for a few wayward shots at goal.Neck and neck scores at half time led to an unbelievably close tussle in the third quarter, with the scores tied at 40 points apiece heading into the last.But Greta ran away with it from there, piling on six goals in the last quarter to run away with a 23 point win.Final scores Bonnie Doon reserves 7.1 (53) defeated by Great reserves 12.4 (76). It was a closer match than the final scores showed and a gallant loss for the Bombers ressies, who’ve played quality footy this season.

By KARYN FRASER AS the Mansfield Red team of five, Karyn Fraser, Carolyn Murray, Deb McCormack, Loretta Armitage, and Jo O’Brien, travelled to Benalla for an extremely tough match, the rain started to fall and the text saying the other Mansfield team had a wash out came through.Themindset was that we would be having morning tea and then returnHowever,home.on arrival the rain stopped.Maureen Jewell’s husband Peter had been out early and had bagged and lined the lawn courts for us. We couldn’t disappoint, so to the courts we went. Karyn was up against her Saturday Benalla teammates so there was quite a bit of banter between Kate Campbell, Maureen Jewell, and Claire Sharp. The knowledge of each other’s game was motivating. Sets were always going to be difficult to achieve and with lower targets set, Karyn and Jo hit the bull’s eye taking one set for the day 8- 5.Loretta came on for the last set and after a very heavy court and wet balls, her fresh legs assisted Karyn well and they managed six games.Benalla showed why they are top of the ladder and hot favourites for the flag with the depth of their team, their consistent play, and the inclusion of Deb Siggers into the fold. Final score 5/45 to 1/20. Moglonemby made an impressive start when Judy Sands and Marlene Hanrahan defeated Chris Ellis and Julie Harrington 8-3 in Euroa last Monday. Euroa’s Lyndall Bigland and Sue Vaughan comfortably overcame Mary Kelly and Robyn Johnson 8-1 in their opening set. Julie and Sue went game for game against Marlene and Robyn and ultimately took the points in a tiebreak. Euroa were convincing in all the remaining sets though and took the win 5/43 to 1/24. Terip and Black shared points with a washout and their ladder positions remained unchanged. Next week Euroa host Black, Blue host Terip and Red host Moglonemby.Thefollowing week’s final round has all the local teams playing at home.Mansfield Blue take on top side Benalla and Mansfield Black play Mansfield Red.

“We strongly encourage everyone to consider those people who are making a quiet, but significant impact in their communities and acknowledge their contribution by nominating them for an award.” With Disability Sport and Recreation celebrating their 60th birthday this year, the 2022 Awards are more than ever an opportunity to discover unsung heroes and rising stars and celebrate what’s truly great about accessible and inclusive sport. With the location once again at PwC Southbank, the awards should be a true night to remember.
“As the awareness around inclusive sport and recreation grows, so too does the number of programs and initiatives supporting Victorians with disability to get active,” said Disability Sport & Recreation CEO, Richard Amon. “Our sector is made up of many humble people, who quietly go about volunteering, coaching and supporting people with disability so they can live healthy, active lives.

Wet weather slows ladies golf
Golfers battle the wet
By LINDA TERRY THE observant amongst the readers will have noticed an absence of a ladies’ golf report for the last two weeks. You would also have noticed that the weather has been extremely wet and can therefore correctly conclude there has been very little golf played. With apologies for those few diehards who have ventured out for a game, I’m sure you really wouldn’t want your results reported anyway as they haven’t exactly been anything to write home about. But spring is around the corner and we are desperately hoping for some dry weather to give the course a chance to recover, before our district championships are held at Mansfield in just a fortnights time. Some collective praying to the weather gods would be handy. So for this past week, well done to the 13 ladies who played our only comp on Wednesday and came in with mud up to theirShellyknees.Comerford made the most of the conditions winning on a countback with 27 points, from runner up Glenis Skinner and third Kylie Egan, both on the same score. Lyn Poulson and Sheryl Sargent won the balls with a credible 25 points each under the circumstances, while Shelly picked up the only nearest the pin.
Another solid round by Taki who is mentioned so often the name automatically pops up on my keyboard when I put in the letterHonourable‘T’. mentions go to Ian Jones, Brad Grant and Mic Davis who were all clear of the remaining field. Brad scored two NTPs and was the only other player with a single digit handicap. Tough going for some - Geoff outscored some of the field by 2.5 times - impressive. The two leaders took home $80 between them. Nearest the pins of which there are normally five receive $10 each.
1st - Geoff Brown 37 pts (h/c 6); 2nd - Alex Scherini 36 pts (h/c 9); 3rd - Taki Murakami 34 pts (h/c 11) Geoff Brown and Alex Scherini were the real stars of the week (along with our Mansfield Eagles).Their scores equate to plus 40s in finer conditions.
“Together, these individuals, organisations and clubs are making tremendous, positive change in the lives of people with disability.

Eagles blast the Bombers
THE Mansfield Eagles delivered in front of a home crowd at the weekend, with the senior’s side blasting the Kyabram Bombers in a rough and tumble contest. In front of a passionate local throng at the Mansfield Rec Reserve, the blue and gold boys were strong out of the gates, kicking three in the first to lead by 11 points at quarter time.But the Bombers bounced back in the second, kicking three to level things up heading into the break. It was a hard fought game and hanging in the balance at this stage. But a crafty Eagles lineup, with the home crowd on their side, soared above the roughshod Bombers, and booted ten goals in the third term to put an emphatic stamp on the game. Led down front by big Cameron Arnold, who booted four, and Ben Christopher, who kicked three, the Eagles sealed the deal in the fourth quarter. They kicked another three goals to the Bombers goalless final term to walk away with a decisive 51 pointFinalvictory.scores Mansfield seniors 17.12 (114) defeated Kyabram seniors 9.9 (63).

A relatively evenly matched game throughout saw the Bombers seconds run away with things in the final term, when they poured on three goals to the Eagles goalless fourth quarter.
