The alpine takeover New Alpine p Resorts Victoria set to take over ski mountains on October 1 amidst mixed feelings g

By PAM ZIERK B ZIERK-MAHONEY MAHONEY 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 thi lli smoothly. thl 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 t iti as seamless l 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 doesn’t th t the th ARV Board B dd ’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 change.”

Though the recently

announced board has come db dh 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 b off the th currentt Alpine Resorts Coordinating Council.

He previously 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.

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 horse riders.

Mayor Cr James 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 comprehensive review will act as a guide for future planning and budget processes.

“In addition, several pathways have been included for further investigation.”

From page 1 He was also an executive director of Mt Buller Ski Lifts.

“I believe the new ARV has a once in a generation opportunity to perform as a transformation board,” Mr Monester said following the announcement.

“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 new board must listen to and respond to stakeholder input to successfully deliver its governance objectives.

“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.

“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.”

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.

“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.”

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.

“The change to ARV needs to address the question of funding if any progress is to be made in critical areas.”

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.

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).

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.

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.

The 2022 winter season is expected to go beyond that delivery with record numbers being recorded each and every week.

Cold water poured over Debs link Bonnie Doon murder case refuses to fade awayy

The only people who know who was with Adele Bailey when she died are either now dead or are not talking.

COLD WATER: Adele Bailey’s body was dumped down a Bonnie Doon mineshaft back in the 1970s - not by Bandali Debs, according to sources of journalist, Andrew Rule, but by a group of unscrupulous - ANDREW RULE police.

officer, a story which was the officer said was an open secret in the police force for many years at the time.

He’d 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 Debs.

“There is absolutely 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.

He also added that Debs, while having form for murdering sex workers, did so at close range with a gunshot - some-

“

thing which hadn’t occurred to Adele Bailey.

Rule cited two sources as saying that Bailey’s true fate had been met during a botched interrogation, where unprincipled officers at the time had performed what they called ‘the chicken’.

It’s a manoeuvre allegedly designed to pressure and block the neck’s carotid artery, leading to unconsciousness and strokelike spasms.

“But, instead of lapsing into unconsciousness, she (Bailey) died,” said Rule of the story he’d been told, twice.

“The cop network kicked into gear.

“Someone called in a ‘police groupie’ named Chris, a volatile

Vietnam veteran who bought and sold guns and ran a security business that employed off-duty cops as bouncers, and he lent the conspirators a darkcoloured panel van to spirit the body away.”

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.

“The only people who know who was with Adele Bailey when she died are either now dead or are not talking,” concluded Rule.

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.

“Strange and violent men, some of them police, exploited vulnerable sex workers like Bailey, and Debs was both strange and violent,” said Rule.

“The fact that police were told about Debs and his guns three years before he killed policemen Rod Miller and Gary Silk is intriguing.

“But it has 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

Huw crosses Stirling and Buller 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.

“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 resort.

“I doubt I’ll ever again make that much effort to reach a ski resort.”

It was, 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

GREETINGS: Rhylla Morgan was on hand to welcome Huw Kingston to Mt Buller and then skied with him down the slopes, enjoying his first time skiing at this resort.

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. 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.

“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.

Estate

“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.

“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 said.

“On 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.

“I also found myself skiing with an idol, not of mine, but a Hindu god, in celebration of tolerance and understanding.

“The things you do and a nice link to my long history skiing in the Indian Himalaya.”

On Tuesday, August 16, Huw headed back into the wilderness for the push on toward resort number five; Mt Hotham, expecting to arrive on the following weekend.

With over $35,000 of his $50,000 target raised already, Huw is very hopeful of exceeding it. https://our-yarning-save-thechildren-huw-kingston-fundraiser.raisely.com/

Vietnam veterans remember Long Tan and passed comrades

By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY 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 hours supported 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.

On Thursday Bill Romans introduced the Mansfield remembrance service and spoke briefly about the first Australian soldier

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. 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.

“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 bases.

“Chicken 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 con-

certs for troops, visiting base hospitals to catch up with the injured, getting over sickness and entertaining in a ‘war zone’.

“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 government.

“Vietnam 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 the journey.”

Mr 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.

GLAD IT DID IT: Denis Tucker said the best thing about his time in Vietnam was coming home - ‘but I’m glad I did it’.

Museum honors Australian Vietnam veterans forever 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 Phillip Island.

The 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.

More kinder More opportunity More choices More for free.... ....at The Farmhouse

This will honor those lives lost, those who survived and the lasting impacts on families, carers and veterans in our community.

The government 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.”

A stellar and remarkable 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.

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.

At the commencement 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

REMEMBERED: Jennifer Hutchison will be remembered for her kindness, help, and enthusiasm in whatever she did. 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.”

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 irrepraceable.

Tributes 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 Graham spoke 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’ one.

Graham said “Jen approached this diagnosis of cancer as she did all things - with curiosity, open heartedness, grit and practicality.

“Jen was nothing short of remarkable.”

When her 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.

“Her legacy lives on in all of us whose lives she touched, and we learned from her in a myriad of ways,” Graham said.

New Malcolm Street footpath changes sides 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 Street.

“This was because it connects many more residents, allows for safer travel to Mansfield’s facilities and an easier construction process,” Cr Tehan said.

The footpath is jointly funded by Council and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).

The new spray sealed bi-

tuminous 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 2023.

Residents will receive further communication regarding the works in the coming weeks.

At the end of this month, we expect to begin works on the Mansfield Library refurbishment. Collopy Street, near the High Street intersection, may be partially or fully closed to accommodate the works. We're working with the Department of Transport to determine how temporary road closures may impact local traffic. Footpath access may also be affected as we work on plumbing, which is external to the building.

Stage 1 construction 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.

Once we have confirmed the nature and timelines for road closures, we'll communicate these on social media and in Mansfield Matters. Stay up to date by following Mansfield Shire Council and Mansfield Library on Facebook.

One way ticket to hospital

By EMMA OLIVER WHEN Mansfield resident Katie Martin was transferred to the Wangaratta hospital by ambulance she was repeatedly assured that patient transport would be organised at discharge to get her home.

This did not happen, and Katie was left distraught, alone in an unfamiliar rural city, resorting to a call-out for help on the Mansfield community noticeboard.

A complete stranger mother of eight, Kate McGuigan - answered that call.

“I saw the post, and initially scrolled past it,” said Ms McGuigan.

“And then I thought, what if nobody else reaches out?”

Ms McGuigan knew firsthand what it was like to be stranded in Wangaratta with no way home from the hospital.

“It’s happened at least three or four times,” she said.

“I’ve had to call a friend at 2am to come and pick me up.

“I had no way else to get back.”

Ms McGuigan has had numerous negative experiences after being transported to NorthEast Health Wangaratta.

She believes being stuck in Wangaratta - scrambling to get home - is symptomatic of a system that is overstretched and has lost its primary purpose of duty of care to presenting patients.

When Ms McGuigan’s young teenage son badly broke his arm, he had to be transported by ambulance to Wangaratta.

Anxious about the nature of his injury and wanting to provide that reassurance to her child who was confused after receiving strong pain killers, Ms McGuigan would have liked to accompany him in the ambulance.

However, she was forced to make the decision to travel behind the vehicle in her own car, so that the two had a means of getting back home to Mansfield.

When Ms McGuigan saw Katie Martin’s cry for help,

‘The kindness of strangers’ had to get Katie Martin g p home when she was stranded at Wangaratta hospital

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. she thought about herself and her kids in the same predicament, and without a second thought she drove from Mansfield to Wangaratta to pick Ms Martin up.

“She came and found me and dropped me off right on my front doorstep,” Ms Martin said.

“I was in tears as I had no idea where I was, nor how far I was away from Mansfield, or even what transport options existed.”

It was the week prior that Ms Martin had sliced her head open, working up on Mt Buller.

Seventeen stitches later six internal and 11 external - Ms Martin had been experiencing headaches and migraines daily since the injury.

And it was at this point

that the decision was made to do further investigation.

A CT scan was required, and Mansfield Hospital informed Ms Martin that they would organise patient transport to get her to Wangaratta, and that it needed to happen that day.

“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.

“I had 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.”

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 could call.

However, 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 her skull.

She was then discharged.

This was late in the day, and it was beginning to get dark.

“I asked 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.

“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 works.

“I did not have the financial resources to spend on a taxi.”

It was 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.

“I was 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.

Ms Martin also 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 are.

“I’ve come to get you.”

It was close to 9pm when they got home to Mansfield.

Ms McGuigan’s children were in bed “It’s just not good enough,” said Ms McGuigan, when recounting the experience.

“Where was the empathy and the compassion?

“Where was the duty of care?”

Roadsafe North East offering cash for local young drivers 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.

Drivers aged 18-25 years old will take part in phase two of the program, which will provide a $5000 subsidy to replace their unsafe and older vehicle with a safer, newer one.

Expressions of interest for the unsafe2safe trial are open until September 4.

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 entirely such 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

“If you look at the philosophy and logic behind it, yes it’s a great idea because young drivers a quite proficient on the roads due to the requirement of 120 hours supervised driving before they get their probationary licence,” he said.

“However, what they’re not good at is hazard per-

ception that an experience driver has by continually looking for dangers while driving and statistics show that Victorians driving older cars are 15 times more likely to be killed in crashes.”

Mr Weinert queried whether people in this age bracket would be able to afford vehicles with the latest technology.

“Features such as lane keep assist and autonomous

emergency braking systems are in the vehicles that are only a few years old,” Mr Weinert said.

“I understood it to be fivestar rated vehicles which are five to 10 years old which would be $10k-$15k, and the $5k subsidy would help.”

Mr Weinert noted that the average cost of vehicles, including used cars, has increased due to the high

demand worldwide, which makes it more difficult for people with a lower income to afford.

The first phase of the trial began last year in Ballarat and Bendigo with young Victorians who participated now reaping the benefits of driving a safer vehicle.

The targeted program is part of Victoria’s Road Safety Action Plan under the Vic-

torian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, which focuses on groups that are over-represented in road trauma.

Sadly in 2022, 148 people have died on Victorian roads, compared to 130 this time last year.

New recycling service for Woods Point

COMING TO TOWN: GOTAFE’s mobile campus.

GOTAFE pulling into Mansfield GOTAFE’s mobile campus will arrive in Mansfield on Monday to give local jobseekers access to skills and jobs services, training, education, and career counselling.

The mobile campus will be located on Highett Street until Wednesday, August 31.

It features a client reception area, private career counselling space, workshop and seminar space, and a community computer lab.

The mobile campus team will

provide advice and assistance to the local community and industry stakeholders.

“GOTAFE is committed to playing a lead role in supporting Mansfield in responding to challenges,” said Angela McLeod, director - attraction and engagement at GOTAFE. “At its heart, the mobile campus works to bridge the gap between our communities and deliver critical employment and education

services, regardless of location, access and financial barriers.”

Over the three-day period, local jobseekers will be able to receive personal advice from career advisors as well as attend workshops to increase their job prospects and explore study options.

Workshops will cover a range of topics including deciding to apply for a role, resume writing and free TAFE and job trainer information sessions.

GOTAFE said they will work in partnership with local government and tap into job active networks and financial support services, ensuring a communitycentred approach as part of the service delivery.

They also said this project recognises some students are disadvantaged by a lack of transport options which affects their access to education and other GOTAFE services.

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.

The issue 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.

“Currently everything just goes into a skip bin.”

Council was also contacted by a member of the Woods Point Progress Association in a community consultation session on new recycling and waste services in Mansfield Shire.

“With waste and energy sustainability as one of council’s strategic objectives, our Climate Action Plan, and environment rating highly in the 2040 community vision for Mansfield Shire, it was obvious we needed to look into this,” Cr Tehan said.

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.

Celebrating 60 years of Mansfield Secondary College 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 school grounds.

Keith 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.

“Our new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Maths) building as well as a double stadium and outdoor courts were opened late last year.

“The final piece of the old school, the B block, was demolished in October 2021.

“We are looking forward to seeing what the future brings for Mansfield Secondary College.”

To celebrate 60 years of Mansfield Secondary College, the school is planning a number of events and welcomes students, staff, and community to attend.

Bookings can be made via the school webpage All events (apart from trivia) are free to attend, but please register to assist with planning. https://mansfieldsc.vic. edu.au

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.

Mr McCurdy 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.

“These concerns surrounded the poor quality of the road surfaces, no shoulders, and potholes that you can lose control of your car from,” he said in parliament.

“The budget cuts to Victoria’s regional roads is a false economy and it will take us years to repair the damage done.

“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 come.”

Mr McCurdy said “out of control” populations of sambar deer throughout the electorate were another major concern, contributing to further danger on country roads.

“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 Victorian Government needs to take this more seriously, lives are at risk.

“If this happened in Richmond this would be solved immediately.

“It’s time for the Victorian Government to act now.”

It’s the Small Things: musings on the beauty of small schools.

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.

Havoc ensued when Thing One* and Thing Two* got together, sparking mischief.

Mr Twit* organised everyone for assembly while Ms Blossom* sorted the soundtrack for the Catwalk Parade. Extra props to Harry Potter* for his enchanting spin down the sparkly carpet. Thing Two and Alex Ryder ran assembly like pros, holding everyone’s attention and providing warm welcome to a cast of unicorns, gold miners, equestriennes and families.

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.

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!

State award for Mansfield CWA MANSFIELD’S CWA group has taken out a long-standing prestigious award at the recent 2022 State Creative Arts Exhibition held at Tallangatta.

The Mansfield branch was awarded the ‘Handcrafts & Home Industries Cup’ an award which was first presented in 1929 to Flinders branch.

Since then many CWA branches across the state have been granted this award, including Shepparton.

“We are extremely proud to add Mansfield’s name to

the trophy and continue the work of our past and current CWA members to provide an opportunity for friendship, personal development and learning new skills - all while having a lot of fun along the way,” a CWA representative said.

And a huge congratulations and praises went to Mansfield’s junior member, 15-year-old Jade Rau. Jade won the first place award for the Individual Aggregate for Junior Members in the handcrafts - secondary section.

The CWA State Creative

Arts Exhibition and Coat Hanger Festival was held at Tallangatta where the public was able to see her award winning work.

The exhibition returned to the CWA calendar after a two year glitch due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The local CWA said Jade is a third generation member and is always willing to help or try something new with a beautiful smile on her face.

She is truly a modern young woman juggling school, sport, a part time job and her creative pursuits via her CWA involvement.

NATURE WORKSHOP: (from left); Simeon Ayres, workshop tutor, with Justus Hagen, Suzie Bates and Eve Williams.

THE Strathbogie Ranges Conservation Management Network (SRCMN) held their second ‘Awe & Wonder in Nature’ art workshop in the Strathbogie Ranges recently.

‘Patterns, Pathways & Mapping the Otherworld’ was hosted by Sim Ayres who led participants on a journey of pattern recognition and map making.

Sitting around the fire, the day began with a heartfelt acknowledgement of Country and Taungurung Peoples, then an exercise to drop in and feel the surrounds.

Sim shared his artistic process of representing country and space, within the concept of mapping but not necessarily creating a map as such.

People were invited to go for a wander with pencil and paper, find a tree - then feel all around, above and below the ground and create a story of the wider picture.

Bushwalkers, landcarers, artists and also people with little art experience travelled from all around the region to attend this event.

Many came because they love Sim’s artwork and all expressed a desire to

After lunch, more drawing took place and everyone walked into another world - to a special solitary spot, with fresh child-like eyes.

They perched high up on granite bolders, in dense bracken and under trees, where many great artworks emerged.

SRCMN organisers considered the workshop a great success, as the aim of the project was to provide opportunities for people to connect more deeply with their environment.

Library to pick up new self-serve kiosk soon FOLLOWING a successful application to the Bendigo Bank Community Fund, the Mansfield library will soon purchase another self-serve kiosk.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide this sponsorship to support opportunity and innovation at the Mansfield Library,” said Ryan Daykin Bendigo Bank Branch Manager.

“We hope that the project will help to improve the efficiency of library administrative process and allow library staff to commit more time to the engagement of visitors and delivery of library programmes and services.”

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the grant of $5741 was a demonstration of how volunteer groups and communityminded organisations work together in Mansfield for the benefit of the community.

“On behalf of the council and our library team, I thank the Friends of the Library group for putting in the application - and Bendigo Bank for supporting this initiative,” he said.

The grant, which was awarded last week, covers the full cost of purchasing

NEW KIOSK: Community Bank, Mansfield Library & Friends of the Library (from left) Ryan Daykin (Branch Manager, Community Bank), Justine Shelton (Coordinator Library Services Mansfield Shire Council), Liz Clarke (Friends of the Mansfield Library Inc) and Community Bank’s Isadora Tirtowalujo and Clare Ridler. the self-serve station (kiosk) from FE Technologies.

This kiosk will be positioned on the front desk enabling borrowers to check-out their own books, while conversing with library staff.

Cr Tehan said the library is in the process of undergoing a complete refurbishment and at the request of library staff, two self-serve kiosks have been incorporated into

the new design.

The existing kiosk is positioned by the front door of the library, suiting borrowers who prefer privacy and/or a fast exit.

The new kiosk will be positioned on the front desk enabling borrowers to check-out their own books, while conversing with library staff.

“The library already has one kiosk where borrowers

can check-out the books they want to borrow,” said Cr Tehan.

“This second kiosk is in response to library patrons’ feedback that many of them prefer to be served rather than use the existing self-serve kiosk because they, or their children, want to interact with our staff or require reader advice, help or information.

“This social connection is

a vital part of the service offered by the library.

“The kiosk will give library patrons more options and will also aid the library staff who currently process the majority of check-outs.

“With a visitation rate of one visit to the library every 1.45 minutes (pre COVID), assisting with check-outs takes up a significant amount of staff time.”

Two kids injured in Bonnie Doon car accident TWO children and a woman were taken to hospital following a motor vehicle accident in Bonnie Doon last weekend.

Ambulance Victoria confirms that paramedics were called to an incident in along the Maroondah highway near Almond Road at around 4.35pm last Saturday.

A vehicle had reportedly slid down an embankment and rolled onto its side.

A primary school aged boy was transported to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a stable condition with upper body injuries.

A primary school aged girl was transported to Wangaratta Hospital in a stable condition with back soreness.

And a woman in her 40s was also transported to Wangaratta Hospital in a stable condition for further assessment.

Beolite to get rates refund COUNCIL will refund Beolite Village $4254.49 in rates and waste charges paid over the past three years.

The decision was delivered at the most recent council meeting following a request for a refund from the village in February this year.

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 classification.

Council further noted 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.

“Having their Community Centre available for other community groups is very generous of them, and we’ll continue to help them out as much as we can.”

COMING SOON: An artists render of the new look library.

Library construction to start early next week WORK on the Mansfield Library refurbishment will start on August 29 with external plumbing changes outside the library in Collopy Street affecting the front footpath.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said while there will be some disruption to library services during the refurbishment, the works program has been designed to minimise this and deliver an improved library space by April 2023.

“The new and improved larger layout will include a modernised internal fit out, a bigger children’s area, spaces for socialisation,

study, remote work and room hire,” Cr Tehan said.

“During construction, our library team will be available by phone in business hours, Tuesday to Friday, and all the online resources will still be accessible.

“There are three stages in the construction.

“In the first stage which runs until mid-September, there should be minimal disruption to opening hours.

“In Stage 2, the library will close for a few days to enable site establishment such as the building of internal walls.

“With a slight change to the internal layout, the library will continue to occupy the Collopy Street building until mid-December.

Cr Tehan noted the Stage 2 temporary changes include:  Footpath closure requiring pedestrians to walk on the road (traffic barriers and a ramp provided).  The main library entrance will be closed. Visitors will need to use the rear door, with a ramp providing access for all.  Entrance to the carpark from Collopy Street will be closed and traffic made one way.

 Of the three existing carparks, two will permanently become disabled carparks.  There may be short closures when noise levels and other disturbances are excessive.

“We will work with the builders to provide as much notice to the public as possible of any closures,” added Cr Tehan.

“As part of Stage 3, from midJanuary, the Collopy Street building will be closed to the public and a limited library service will run from the Visitors Information Centre.”

North East regional news in brief Candidates confirmed for Euroa electorate BOTH the Liberal Party and the Nationals have officially announced their candidates for the seat of Euroa (which includes Benalla, Violet Town, Euroa, Seymour and other nearby towns), in the upcoming state election.

The Nationals have endorsed Annabelle Cleeland as candidate following a grassroots preselection ballot held last Tuesday, meanwhile, Benalla school principal Brad Hearn was selected as the Liberal Party’s choice last week.

Ms Cleeland, together with her husband and two children, run a superfine merino wool property and bee apiary in the southern Strathbogie region of Tarcombe.

Ms Cleeland is focused on greater government investment in health services, education, road and rail networks.

The Nationals state president Neil Pankhurst said Ms Cleeland has the work ethic and experience to be an extraordinary local member for the electorate of Euroa.

Liberal candidate Mr Hearn, who is a trained mental health counsellor, said he is a strong advocate for public education reform as well as passionate about future investments in rural Victoria.

As a result of his experience in the school

days after her return, Miki becomes the prime suspect.

Production came to the region in February, and utilised such sites as the Myrtleford Hotel and local pine plantations to set the scene, with locals brought on board to assist both behind the scenes and on camera.

Sled dogs’ successful return to racing at Dinner Plain

NATS CONFRIM CANDIDATE: Annabelle Cleeland (middle) has been endorsed as the Nationals Party candidate for the seat of Euroa ahead of the upcoming election. Ms Cleeland is pictured here with deputy leader Emma Kealy and leader Peter Walsh. system, Mr Hearn says he will be advocating for having a mental health practitioner in every primary and secondary school to help deal with the post pandemic mental health crisis faced across the state.

Mr Hearn has committed to uphold the 25 per cent Regional Infrastructure Guarantee if elected in November.

According to Mr Hearn, this will deliver at least a quarter of all new government capital investment to regional communities in contrast to just 11.4 per cent allocated in the 2021-22 State Budget for major state asset investment.

Current member for Euroa Steph Ryan will not contest November’s election.

Jessica Mauboy to headline Bright festival AUSTRALIAN pop star Jessica Mauboy will be headlining a live music event in Bright on November 12 as part of a new Victorian Government initiative to celebrate live music across the state.

According to Always Live, the ARIA award-winning RnB/pop artist will headline a daylong festival at Bright’s Pioneer Park alongside a line-up of rising stars and some of Australia’s finest talent.

Always Live is a new statewide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the government through Visit Victoria.

LIBS DECIDE: Benalla school principal Brad Hearn has been selected as the Liberal candidate for Euroa in November’s state election.

Alpine Shire Mayor Sarah Nicholas said the announcement is extremely exciting, and just what the community needs as they head into another busy holiday season.

According to council, the funding for this event comes from the Victorian Government’s Response to the 2019-20 Bushfires.

It is targeted at supporting the Alpine Shire’s young people and communities after the 2019/20 bushfires and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cr Nicholas said this event joins the calendar of recent community-building experiences and events that council has rolled out over the past 18 months with the support of Bushfire Recovery funding.

First look at ABC series shot in Myrtleford PEOPLE across the country got their first look last week at an ABC drama series shot in Myrtleford and the Alpine Shire earlier this year, with many local sites and vistas on display.

The one-minute-40second official trailer for ‘Savage River’ was released last week and keen-eyed locals were quick to pick out some shots which look like they were shot just up the road, because they were.

‘Savage River’ stars Katherine Langford as Miki Anderson, who returns to her close-knit hometown after serving out an eight year sentence for manslaughter, but when a new murder rocks the town

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.

MMuDS Elephant Man set to open 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.

During Merrick’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

THE ELEPHANT MAN: Bec Bolwell as Mrs Kendal and Jack Arrowsmith as John Merrick, in the MMuDS production of The Elephant Man, set to open on Saturday, August 27.

Tickets are now on sale at www.mmuds. org.au. shows, but having been ‘rescued’ from this lifestyle he finds that he is able to express himself and inspire others.

Ian Todd 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’s a beautiful 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.

This is a well written play with tasteful direction, considered sets and costumes, with a charming mix of serious and light hearted moments.

Tickets are now on sale at www. mmuds.org.au.

Mansfield to give this Daffodil Day THIS August, Cancer Council Victoria is urging Victorians to give to the Daffodil Day Appeal to fund life-saving cancer research.

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 strip opposite 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.

“Cancer takes so much from all of us,” Mr Harper said.

“It’s why this year, we’re calling on Victorians to give hope to those impacted by cancer by funding vital cancer research that is saving lives every day.

“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.”

Cattle sale grosses $7.2 million

BY BAILEY ZIMMERMANN bzimmermann@ nemedia.com.au

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 instances .

Corcoran 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 too much.”

One 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.

“Very good sale, I thought prices were pretty strong,” he said.

“We did notice prices have jumped up again and there’s plenty of cattle here.

“We’re doing good, looks like it’s going to be a pretty good spring so far, there’s plenty of water lying around.”

Mr Del 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

HAPPY FAMILY: Mark Abicare, Ross Anderson, David Sinclair, Peter Sinclair, Lyndell Sinclair and Margie Sinclair attended the spring sale on Friday which is named their beloved Gordon Sinclair’s memory.

PHOTOS: Bailey Zimmermann BIG SALE: Patrick and father Pat Del Mastro brought along 40 head of Angus cattle to the Gordon Sinclair Memorial Spring Feeder and Weaner Sale in Wangaratta Friday and were buoyed by the booming prices.

LINED UP: The store condition cattle in their pens at the Wangaratta Livestock Exchange on Friday. 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.

“The agents have done a terrific job of putting together this sale in memory of my father,” he said.

“Meeting people we haven’t seen for a long time, that’s the exciting part of being here.

“I love Wangaratta, it’s where home is and you enjoy coming back to it, especially when there’s something like this on, it’s a very special day.”

Craft ladies group was delighted to accept the invitation to the official thank you High Tea at the RACV Club in Melbourne recently.

Each leader of the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser was invited to attend the presentation.

A number of officials were in attendance to thank the hosts of the Biggest Morning Tea event.

This year surpassed the expectations of the organisers.

The figure of two million dollars was hoped for and 11 million dollars was raised nationally.

The results of dedicated teams nation wide, many hours of preparation and follow up and the generosity of the patrons, resulted in this record amount.

The Jamieson Craft ladies have held this very popular fund raiser for many years.

Congratulations.

Eagles 17s secure finals win over Saints

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 minor scores.

In the second 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 footy.

The 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 num-

ber 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).

Best Reece/Sportsfirst: Hunter Reeve and Oscar Clelland.

MHF Ashton Dean, Dan Bruno, Ben Reardon, and Adam Storer.

Eagles 14s tackle Imperials at Wang

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 quarter.

Imperials kept kicking goals but the boys worked hard, defending well from 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 Imperials to only 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 did their job well, putting the pressure on, tackling hard and feeding to each other to get the ball down to goal.

The boys worked well and managed two more goals however the clock beat the comeback and the boys fell short by two points.

Great game boys, heads up and go get ‘em this weekend.

GRAND FINAL GLORY: Sunday saw the last round of the Mansfield Junior Football Club with both the under 10s (pictured) and under 13s battling out their grand finals in the late winter sunshine.

MJFC Grand Final glory

By MICHAEL BRETHERTON

SUNDAY saw the last round of the Mansfield Junior Football Club with both the under 10s and under 13s battling out their grand finals in the late winter sunshine.

Both age groups played the grand finals out in the best of spirits, with many fantastic passages of play and clean ball use on the dry oval.

Every player’s progress was evident on the last day of the year, all players have come a long way since April due to their commitment and determination to develop and improve.

Each and every player played their part in their team’s performance in the grand final, making it impossible to choose best players for the day; all players are to be commended on their effort and sportsmanship on the day.

In the end, both games were very close with the Hawks taking out the under 10s by a couple of points and the Eagles be-

ing victorious in the Under 13s by just one goal.

All players received a medal after the games, a testament to their tremendous performance throughout the year.

Many thanks to our junior committee, umpires throughout the year, Cameron and Justin Hotton, Dave Clifton and Matt Vasey in addition to all the assistance from the goal umpires, first aid and Stewart Bryant and family for the best snags in town.

Thanks also to our award sponsors, Choices Milkbar, O’Malleys Pizza and Mansfield Pizza in addition to the many other junior club sponsors and importantly the supporters who brave the weather every week to support the kids.

A special thanks to all of the coaches who have done an amazing job with all of the kids, their care and dedication is reflected in how far the kids have come in their development.

We look forward to doing it all again next year.

Go Eagles!

Eagles take on the Bombers A GRADE

Mansfield 38 def by Kyabram 51 Best On Court: Dempsey Parsons in game 150 award sponsored by Foodworks Coaches: Grace Hood and Meg Mahoney award sponsored by Byrne Seed Australia and Subway A GRADE Eagles wanted to come out strong this week after their hard loss to Mooroopna last week.

The sun was shining and the girls had lots to play for with it being their last home game for the season, Belle Edwards A Grade debut and Dempsey Parsons’ 150th game.

The girls wanted to come out firing and that they did.

For majority of the game it was goal for goal with the Eagles just dropping short in the last few minutes of each quarter giving Kyabram the opportunity to keep their lead.

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.

Ky were 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.

by Home @ Alpine Coaches: Molly Rekers and Alicia Foster award sponsored by cafe 41 and Subway THE last home game of the season against Kyabram was a challenge for the Mansfield B grade girls, although they knew it would be a challenge they played a great game under pressure and fought it out until the end.

Bianna Kelly and TeAna Wards were able to put goals in under the tight defence of Kyabram, with the help of Alicia Foster and Kara Dolling and their feeding into the goal circle.

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.

Mansfield 56 defeated Kyabram 40 Best on court, sponsored by Mansfield Golf Club - Isobel Anderson Coaches 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 our lead.

Our 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.

We had 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 great win.

Bring on the finals!

Mansfield 23 def by Kyabram 49 Best on Court, sponsored by Café 41 - Chloe Judge Coaches awards, sponsored

by George and Alroy and Subway - Jamie Davis and Molly Dunn THE Mansfield girls started off strong keeping the score even with the Ky girls.

The mid court started well with Rose Mathieson, Molly Dunn and Zoe Greene moving the ball down the court with ease, as they created space for the perfect play.

Tahlia Middleton hit some awesome long bombs in the ring.

Jamie Davis did amazing holding, her height and skill being no match for the Ky girls.

Mansfield saw Issy Byrne make her debut in goals, as she got a good shot in within the first few minutes.

The game progressed well as the Mansfield girls won the second quarter.

Jess Dolling showed off her skills as she played WD, making a statement by having played every

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.

This enabled them to get a jump on the bombers, and they led by one point at quarter time.

Sensational work by the midcourters in the second quarter saw the girls stick tight to Kyabram.

Emma 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 quarter time.

Going 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.

Bittersweet finals weekend for the Bombers

By SHAUN McMAHON

IT was a bittersweet weekend for Bonnie Doon FNC, with both their seniors and reserves sides playing elimination finals, the former getting the win and the latter copping a loss.

The seniors impressed in their victory.

They took on the Goorambat at the Tarrawingee Rec Reserve last Saturday and got off to a great start.

Leading by nine points at quarter time, the Bombers fought off a strong comeback

from a determined Bats side in the second term to hold a three point lead heading into the break.

The third term was evenly matched, with the Bombers and Bats trading blows in a three goal apiece term that left the side neck and neck heading into the fourth.

The Bombers put their foot down in the final quar-

ter, kicking two to the Bats three points, to walk away with a hard fought eleven point win.

Final scores Bonnie Doon seniors 10.2 (62) defeated Goorambat seniors 7.9 (51).

But Greta ran away with it from there, piling on six goals in the last quarter to run away with a 23 point win.

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.

On Sunday, the Bombers reserves side travelled to North Wang to take on Greta in what promised to be a tough tussle.

Mansfield on the podium

GO TEAM: Mansfield Athletics headed to Ballarat on the weekend to compete in the Athletics Victoria 15 kilometre Road Championship.

THE Athletics Victoria 15 kilometre Road Championships were held in Ballarat last Saturday.

In near perfect racing conditions (that never happens in Ballarat) the team produced some great results.

Mens Division Three came second with Bayden Westerweller finishing 30th in 48:58 for the teams quickest man on the day.

Liam Delany got second in the 45+ and lead the Mens 40+ team to third overall with the Mens Division Six team achieving fourth to still keep the possibility of promotion next year alive.

The women were again affected by injury and illness, but even with a depleted

team still managed tenth with Mansfield Marathon winner Julie Ann Undrill having the run of the day finishing 19th in 57:56.

With the last two rounds of the winter series in September the teams are looking to finish strong with the Burnley Half Marathon on September 4 and the Tan Relays (3.8km) on September 17.

Anyone can participate in these events, but if you join Mansfield Athletics the club scores points towards the premiership.

“We will be entering teams if anyone wants to join in the Tan relays, just email mansfieldathleticsclub@gmail. com if you would like to know more,” said Mr Delany.

Congratulations to Cindy McLeish for winning the 2022 Mansfield Courier Football Tipping competition.

The rain holds off for red team trip

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.

The mindset was that we would be having morning tea and then return home.

However, 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.

The following week’s final round has all the local teams playing at home.

Mansfield Blue take on top side Benalla and Mansfield Black play IN ACTION: Deb Siggers plays a forehand back to her Mansfield Red. opponent.

A BREATHER: Benalla’s Kate Campbell and Claire Sharp take a breather during their match.

Golfers battle the wet

By LAURIE HARCUS

TWENTY-NINE players total for last week.

Then an amazing high this Thursday of 26 players; even more admirable because the weather and heavy conditions were very poor.

On the other side of the ledger two competitions, Tuesday, four players and Saturday no competition.

It is a strange world.

Tuesday, four ball stableford.

1st - Kerry Hartwig and Phil Conway 40 pts.

Taki Murakami and Brad

Grant were the only other players.

They were one shot behind with 39 pts.

Thursday - Stableford.

One grade - 26 players 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.

Another solid round by Taki who is mentioned so often the

name automatically pops up on my keyboard when I put in the letter ‘T’.

Honourable 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.

VDSR award nominations closing soon

Saturday - Stableford.

No competition.

We are all looking forward to next Saturday’s Monthly Medal sponsored by Shaun and Danielle Wade plus the team from SBD plumbing and gas.

Co-sponsor, as always is John Perks who donates the prize for the player with the lowest scratch score on the day.

Shaun is also a very good single figure golf player who has been a member of our Pennant teams.

We cherish all our sponsors and thank them.

RESSIES: Finn O’Dwyer had an exciting day’s play in the Eagles reserves loss to Kyabram at the weekend.

Nominations close Wednesday, August 31for the 2022 Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards (VDSR Awards).

“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.

“Together, these individuals, organisations and clubs are making tremendous, positive change in the lives of people with disability.

“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.”

Wet weather slows ladies golf

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 their knees.

Shelly 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.

Eagles blast the Bombers

BY SHAUN McMAHON smcmahon@ nemedia.com.au

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 point victory.

Final scores Mansfield seniors 17.12 (114) defeated Kyabram seniors 9.9 (63).

Best for the Eagles were Cameron Arnold, Tom McDonagh, Brett Mahoney, Patrick Marks, and Jack Hutchins.

Best for the Bombers were Jason Morgan, Joshua Dillon, Thomas Burnett,

BREAKS AWAY: Luke Murray breaks clear of the pack in the Eagles seniors win over the Kyabram Bombers at the weekend.

Lachlan Smith, and Brad Whitford.

The result went in the other direction earlier in the day when the reserves met.

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.

Final scores Mansfield reserves 4.8 (32) defeated by Kyabram seconds 8.6 (54).

Best for Mansfield was Jack Christopher, Luke Menhenett, Thomas Sheahan, Tom Anderson, and Jimmy Payne.

Standout Bombers included William Wild, Sean Dillon, Liam Dillon, and Luke Donnell.

In the first game of the day, Mansfield’s U18s development side emerged victorious, notching up a solid 22 point win.

After a quiet start from

both teams, the blue and gold boys had their necks in front for the rest of the game, the Bombers struggling match the young Eagles firepower.

Final scores Mansfield U18s 8.11 (59) defeated Kyabram U18s 5.7 (37).

Seniors Coach Chad Owens said he was pleased with the result at the weekend, particularly with the forward line and midfield.

“Cam Arnold has gone from strength to strength,” said Owens.

“Him and Ben Christopher and Will Foster; Will’s pressure has been really important.

“Our forward line are really starting to click, and if they lock away one, another stands up.”

“Frazer Dale did a lot of leg work, and our midfield too is really shining; once again Brett Mahoney,

PHOTO: Ken Rainsbury Tom McDonagh, Jimmy Herridge, Sam Thompson, Jayden Howes, Luke Murray, all doing amazing.”

On their respective ladders, Mansfield’s seniors sit in second spot, the reserves in fifth, and the U18s in fourth.

With round 17 in the history books, the Eagles will travel to Tatura this weekend for their final game of the home and away season against the Bulldogs.
