City under threat Emergency g y service crews brace for first major j flood event in more than a decade MAJOR flooding is expected to hit Wangaratta in the coming days, following torrential downpours which saw significant concerns throughout the North East yesterday.

Widespread rainfall totals of between 20 and 80mm bombarded the region on Wednesday, with a further 75mm expected yesterday increasing to as much as

120mm overnight.

SES incident controller Brendan Corboy said local emergency service crews were bracing for what would be the rural city’s most damaging flooding event in years.

“We’re preparing for major flooding in Wangaratta at this point,” he said yesterday.

“We’re expecting all that water to flow through the system with additional rainfall tonight of up to 75mm widespread across the catchment - we’ll see river rises with that.

“At the moment the majority of the forecast

rainfall has fallen in the Goulburn and Broken River catchment, but that extra 75mm is expected to come across later in our patch tonight (Thursday).”

Flooding events had already been reported at Chiltern, Benalla, Rutherglen and Wangandary yesterday afternoon, while a flash flooding alert was issued for Swanpool,

Lima, Badaginnie and Warrenbayne around midday.

Mr Corboy said SES were working with rural city council to establish an evacuation point in the Wangaratta CBD if conditions worsened overnight, with major floodwaters also expected to make their way along the Ovens River from Bright in the coming days.

Residents under threat will be able to attend SES Wangaratta’s Handley Street headquarters this afternoon, with crews dispensing sandbags free of charge.

Mr Corboy said minimising risk in the face of the wet conditions was vital, with particular concern around roadside red gum trees.

Safeguarding under way in Merriwa Park

By SIMONE KERWIN SANDBAGGING along the Merriwa Park levee bank continued throughout yesterday, as Rural City of Wangaratta field services staff moved to safeguard the area from flooding.

As steady rain continued during Thursday, 10 staff members focused on sandbagging the levee, while a further 10 to 15 worked at the depot filling sandbags and transporting them to the park.

Rural City of Wangaratta director community and infrastructure Marcus Goonan said Merriwa Park was a known area

Mr Goonan said riverine flooding would have the most impact on the area, and the effects of this were expected to be felt this afternoon and evening.

“The reality of floods is that no-one really knows what’s going to happen,” he said.

Mr Goonan said while council had awarded a $3.2 million tender last month to heighten levee banks on Wilson and Parfitt Roads, the Merriwa Park phase of the project had been removed from the scope to allow more design work to be completed.

However, he said a tender for this work was still due to be awarded this financial year.

“Given the major flood warning, we are adding 300 to 600mm to the levee in various spots, along the stretch from the soundshell to the back of the kindergarten,” he said.

Mr Goonan said there was no inundation concern at this stage for the Christopher Robin Kindergarten building in Merriwa Park.

“The reality is if the water rises over the top of the levee, there is a chance the kinder may have water in it, so we will need to continue to monitor it, but at this point in time there is no flooding,” he said.

RISING HIGH: The King River was continuing to stretch closer to Gentle Annie Caravan Park, having already inundated the camp ground on the east side.

Waiting game for residents along King River

By ANITA McPHERSON KING Valley residents were bracing for the worst as the rain continued unabated on Thursday afternoon.

The Rural City of Wangaratta and Victoria State Emergency Service delivered sand and sandbags to Whitfield and Cheshunt on Wednesday for the community to access if they felt vulnerable to water coming in, with one resident and a local business collecting some for their use.

As the King River continued to rise at the Gentle Annie Caravan Park, reserve managers Petra and John Perry, who had already cancelled their bookings, were watching the river and moving some items to higher ground.

Having experienced no more

than a moderate flood level during their tenure at the park, they were keeping an eye on the radar in the hope a major flood wouldn’t eventuate.

Whitfield brigade captain Warren Proft said while there wasn’t a significant threat of rising floodwater to residences in the immediate area, a home near the river in Cheshunt had created a barrier around their place and a Whitfield business had taken a precaution at their back door.

“Little mitigation steps can be really helpful, but large scale bagging is not really required with not too many people in our region in the flood zone,” he said.

“So far the potential of a major flood is still there - light to

medium rain all day has got everything full charged and it’s potentially at minor flood level now.

“If we get the heavy rain they are predicting later this afternoon and this evening, it could push it to major pretty quickly, which is the concern.”

Mr Proft said the imminent arrival of a cold front and possible storms made the situation unpredictable and if heavy rain fell during the night, the river could peak in the early hours of Friday morning, meaning people needed to be well prepared before night fell.

He said the brigade was standing by on Thursday afternoon should they be called out through the normal channels to assist the SES.

City under threat ■

From page 1 “Those low lying areas with those big river red gums - talking specifically about Oxley Flats Road - the trees have got wet feet so it doesn’t take much of a breeze to blow them over and cause a traffic hazard,” he said.

“Limiting movement across a floodplain during a flood is really important.

“All too often we get called to a rescue that could be prevented - at times they’re vital resources that have been called to a rescue of someone who’s made a poor choice.

“They’re putting their lives and the lives of their rescuers, and their families, at risk.”

With catchments already wet and ahead of what is expected to be a wetterthan-normal spring, Mr Corboy said it was important residents took the time to truly understand their flood risk.

He said documents such as SES’ local flood guides could provide important emergency information to plan for a flooding incident.

“Your house might not be flooded but that doesn’t meant that you won’t be isolated for a period of time - you need to have a flood plan in place to cater for that inconvenience,” he said.

“This is going to be a prolonged wet spring - the community is going to have to band together to get through it.

“We have been disrupted in some way shape or form for the last two to three years and that’s going to continue and people get tired of it - but we need to band together and stick together and see this through because we live on a flood plain and we can’t avoid it.”

As of 3pm yesterday, just shy of 40mm of rain had been reported at Wangaratta Aerodrome’s automatic weather station.

Local officials were yesterday extending the Merriwa Park levee bank, amid concerns floodwaters could break through.

CONCERNED: Wangaratta resident Doug Ellis believes the stand of red gums on Merriwa Park’s picnic lawn should be removed, saying they are not “fit for purpose”.

PHOTO: Kurt Hickling WANGARATTA resident Doug Ellis has again voiced his concerns about the potential danger of red gums on Merriwa Park’s picnic lawn, following the September 30 tree fall which sparked the temporary closure of the park.

Mr Ellis, who has lived and worked in the Wangaratta area for most of his life, first raised his fears in 2015 about the gums not being fit for purpose, in a letter to the Rural City of Wangaratta’s director of infrastructure services.

He reiterated those concerns in October, 2020, and said he was compelled to do so again in the wake of the tree fall - particularly due to its location adjacent to Christopher Robin Kindergarten, and in the knowledge that at least one local school held sports days among “these unpredictable gums”.

BY SIMONE KERWIN skerwin@ nemedia.com.au

“There are those that will say (the tree fell) because of the wet condition of the ground,” he said.

“In no time we will be in a hot, dry spell which will bring on gums dropping their limbs.

“Council, I ask again, don’t put off what should be done: remove this unpredictable stand of gums and replace them with fit-for-purpose deciduous varieties, to create a year-round safe park.”

Mr Ellis said deciduous trees would offer greater shade to park users in the rural city’s hottest months, and allow more sun in winter, which would attract peo-

ple, and importantly reduce the risk of falling trees or tree limbs causing injury.

“You’ve got this park that could be really something if this change was made,” he said.

Marcus Goonan, council’s director of community and infrastructure, said following the tree fall that expert arborists had assessed the fallen tree, and others in the park, before the park was reopened on the Friday afternoon.

He said council had an established ongoing process of assessing and monitoring park and riverside trees, particularly within the city, with wet seasonal conditions known to increase the frequency of trees falling.

Mr Goonan said: “Although we can’t give guarantees of tree safety, all locations were deemed

to be safe for public use.”

Mr Ellis said he did not believe any tree could be assessed with complete surety.

But Mr Goonan said it was clear from consultation undertaken six months ago that the community wanted the trees to stay.

“Council undertook a significant piece of community consultation with the Merriwa Park Masterplan, and it was clear from that, that the community wanted us to hold on to the trees, and felt they were an important part of the park,” he said.

“We received a significant level of community responses - upwards of 50 - and had a significant amount of engagement with stakeholders which pointed to the fact the community wants to retain those trees.”

VICTORIANS were being urged to defer all non-essential travel as extreme weather continues affected the road and public transport networks across the state yesterday.

Many major roads, particularly around the west, north-west, north and north-east of the state, were closed or impacted by flooding including:  The Melbourne-bound lanes of the Hume Freeway between Benalla and Avenel  The Calder Highway at Marong, and between Charlton and Wedderburn  The Sunraysia Highway from Waubra to Avoca  The Goulburn Valley Highway between Cathkin and Molesworth  The Melba Highway south of Yea  The Midland Highway between Elmore and HeathcoteRochester Road.

During COVID restrictions, Reg took on the role of patient transport officer and enjoyed that well enough, however he is now back with the homeward bound crew which is where he really stars.

“Everyone loves Reg and his friendly demeanour, he is such a joy to have on board and the way he looks after the patients in his care is just wonderful,” volunteer manager Kerryn Mitchell said.

Reg said that some of the people he takes care of like to have a chat and others don’t.

“I don’t mind either way, I just love being here for them,” he said.

“When someone is ready to go home, I help them pack and take them down to the transit lounge where we might have more of a conversation or I might just get a magazine for them to read while they wait.

“When it’s time for them to leave I take them to the front entrance and say goodbye and it’s nice for patients to have someone with them when they’re going home.

“Some of my patients are quite lonely and it’s nice that I can be someone for them to talk to - I leave at the end of each shift feeling like I’ve really given back to the community.

“Being a volunteer is a feel-good job and gives me a wonderful sense of achievement that I’m proud of.”

THE decision to start volunteering with NHW was an easy one for Reg Woodford who moved to the Wangaratta area about 10 years ago.

“I love helping people and I thought that the hospital would be a good place to start looking for some volunteer work and give me the best chance of meeting people and making new friends,” he said.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started but at Northeast Health it feels like we’re one big family; it’s a really caring environment where everybody greets you and everybody cares for you, and that made the decision to volunteer with them each week easy.

FUNDRAISING IN THE PINK: NORTHEAST Health Wangaratta breast care nurses Sam Cooper (left) and Erin Primmer (right) with (centre) Ali Alexander from Café the PreVue during Tuesday‘s morning tea at the Faithfull Street venue, which was organised to raise funds for local support for those with breast cancer diagnoses. It‘s hoped the more than $450 raised from the morning will go towards assisting with cost–of–living expenses for breast cancer patients in the district. Ms Primmer said a steady stream of people had contributed to the fundraiser, which included a raffle, and the event also offered a chance for the nurses to catch up with many people they had been speaking to via phone during COVID–19 restrictions. She said people were extremely generous during the morning: “Everyone is always happy to chip in to assist breast cancer services.” She encouraged locals to see October‘s Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a timely reminder to conduct recommended breast checks and see their GP about any changes or concerns.

Serial damage accused released, refuses court help A LOCAL man who admitted to causing more than $7000 of damage to vehicles and businesses in the Wangaratta CBD as part of a ploy to be locked up by police is set to be released from prison.

Having spent large periods of recent years homeless, the 49-year-old returned to Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court via WebeX on Wednesday, appearing from

custody at Hopkins as defence counsel Geoff Clancy reiterated his client’s offending had been part of an effort to get off the street.

He previously pleaded guilty to leading a damage spree throughout the rural city CBD on August 8, when he kicked the mirrors and panels of at least eight cars and shattered the shopfront glass of an Ovens Street business.

Mr Clancy had previously stated his client experienced an “entrenched” drug and alcohol issue and may have an undiagnosed mental illness, however, the defendant refused to cooperate with courtordered reports into his mental wellbeing and alcoholism.

Earlier this week, Magistrate Ian Watkins ordered the accused undergo assessment for a court integrated

services program (CISP) bail outcome, which was shut down upon its return to court on Wednesday after the accused refused to acknowledge his alcoholism.

“It might just be setting him up him being on bail,” Mr Clancy told the court.

“It’s possibly a case of you can lead a horse to water,” Mr Watkins agreed.

In sentencing the accused

to 62 days in prison, Mr Watkins detailed seven separate restitution orders, totaling more than $7000.

One order called for $5089 to be recouped for damage to a Mitsubishi Outlander.

The accused outlined his plan to live with relatives in Myrtleford upon his release, although the court heard family members were yet to be informed of the plan.

Mr Watkins ordered the accused repay more than $7500 within a month.

“You embarked on a campaign of damaging property of various citizens of Wangaratta,” Mr Watkins said.

“It’s inappropriate to behave in the way you did.

“It may well be you and I meet again sometime soon I hope that’s not the case.

“I wish you well, good luck.”

Victim voices lead way AN advisory panel devised to secure State Government support for specialist family violence court and legal services in the North East is set to be heavily influenced by the voices of victim survivors.

The panel, which was developed following a September round table attended by stakeholders from local government, legal, family safety and community organisations, convened in Wangaratta on Monday, in an effort to further spruik plans to table the initiative to state leaders before next month’s election.

Crime Statistics Agency data has consistently indicated levels of family violence in Benalla, Wangaratta and Wodonga more than 50 per cent higher than the state average, with the nearest specialist services currently only available in Shepparton.

Magistrates’ Court facilities are currently used to manage family violence affairs in the local area, but local stakeholders have increasingly touted the need for purpose-built courts with separate entries and exits for victim survivors and specialist staff to manage proceedings.

Hume Riverina Community Legal Service acting principal lawyer and panel member

Push to establish specialist p court services will call on lived experiences p

LOUD CALLS: Wangaratta-based state MP Tania Maxwell, Centre Against Violence chief executive officer Jaime Chubb and Hume Riverina Community Legal Service acting principal lawyer Alison Maher are leading an advisory committee aimed at improving specialist family violence services in the North East.

PHOTO: Ryan Malcolm Alison Maher said input from panel members and victim survivors had created a compelling case for State Government investment.

“There is genuine interest from everyone involved to get better outcomes for family violence victim survivors and perpetrators,” she said.

“We are taking a holistic approach to this advocacy campaign, and how the spe-

cialist family violence court provides much more comprehensive support for victims and perpetrators than currently exists in our traditional court structure and system in North East Victoria.

“Victim survivors are coming forward to share their stories about their experiences in our courts, how they felt and the lack of support they received at

a time when they were most vulnerable and often feeling intimidated.

“We will be making the best of the opportunities to tell the state government how this service is vitally needed in our area.”

Panel members also include Wangaratta-based state MP Tania Maxwell, Centre Against Violence chief executive officer Jaime

Chubb, Wangaratta mayor Dean Rees, Indigo Shire and Wodonga City councillors as well as Gateway Health and Albury Wodonga Women’s Centre for Health and Wellbeing leaders.

Ms Maxwell said she had previously written to Attorney General Jaclyn Symes and Family Violence Prevention Minister Ros Spence, inviting them

to take part in the panel.

She said the 2015 royal commission into family violence had made a priority call for rural and regional communities to be given better access to support and services for victims and perpetrators.

“But seven years later, when we’re seeing persistent incidents across our communities, there’s still no specialist family violence court or Victorian Legal Aid office in Wodonga or Wangaratta and no support services in local courts,” she said.

Ms Chubb said it was high time for the region’s family violence concerns to be addressed.

“With regional figures for family violence being well above the state average, it is imperative that our community receives more support,” she said.

“The ability to access a specialist family violence court will make a significant difference for the outcomes for families - equally important is the need for free legal aid services in our region, which will give better access to justice to our most vulnerable.

“Having both services accessible to our region will be a game changer for our community.”

NOTE: Comments as they appear online, without corrections.

Don‘t fail to prepare for local flooding AT the time of going to print, the rural city faced its largest flooding threat in more than a decade.

Residents will have a clearer understanding of the extent of last night‘s rain this morning, but one thing is for certain – this will not be the last time the region faces flooding threats this spring.

Flood warnings have become somewhat of a regular occurrence for the region in recent weeks, with consistent rain battering the catchment and refusing to allow the region to dry out – with a wetter–than–normal spring forecast, this trend is expected to continue.

While many households in the region won‘t be directly affected by flooding which impacts their homes, having a plan to enact in the event you become isolated from essential services in the region would be worthwhile.

Being able to safely navigate a flood warning by avoiding risky behaviours such as driving through flood waters or, particularly in the North East, driving on roads lined with river red gums, is a vital skill which alleviates pressure on local emergency service crews.

Emergency service crews are there to ensure the safety of the wider community and achieve the best possible result for the local area, and sometimes that means they are unable to respond immediately to every individual request for assistance.

The same occurs in times of bushfire, a weather event the region is all too familiar with.

Being able to take some initiative and make early decisions about how you and your family will act if impacted by a flood could save a life.

Sandra McDonald: Redgums are beautiful majestic trees which thrive in their natural paddock and waterway environment. In a busy park in the middle of town they are a disaster waiting to happen. It always amazes me that council are prepared to take this risk and schedule mass gatherings under redgums.

Na Um: So they are unsafe now? Last I read somebody was saying there’s nothing to worry about.

Retirement village reforms welcome but....

Would a price cut to V/Line tickets impact your use of the service?

RETIREMENT village law reforms were badly needed and welcome, yes it will be an improvement, no it does not solve all the problems.

Sadly the Andrews government gave village residents just 18 days to comment on complex reforms to complex law.

For many residents, as here in Wangaratta, the new proposed time limit for repayment of exit entitlements will actually go from six months out to 12 months, hardly positive.

Emergency evacuation plans will become mandatory, Consumer Affairs powers strengthened, new body to handle disputes with the operator up to $100,000, which are all welcome.

Les Scobie, Wangaratta

ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE: Visitors to the Art Gallery on Ovens are enjoying seeing a new collection of works by resident artist Joan Mullarvey.

They include mixed media pieces influenced by the descriptive poems of Lawson and Boake, and many paying homage to local waterways.

With smaller prints and greeting cards too, see them at the gallery until October 17.

Genuine direct-election republic model is the key THE Real Republic Australia continues to support a genuine direct-election model for choosing the Head of State of an Australian republic.

In the pro-republic group’s latest quarterly newsletter Constitutional Conversation, Mr Muir said history showed that any model resembling a “politicians’ republic” would be rejected at a future referendum as it was in November 1999.

He said the Real Republic Australia’s discussion paper to be released next week would outline the major elements of an Australian republic with a genuine directly elected Head of State.

The Real Republic Australia has always advocated for an Australian to be directly elected by voters as Australia’s Head of State.

We do not support the concept of politicians picking a Head of State for us.

We do not support the idea of politicians handing down to voters a shortlist of candidates. That simply isn’t direct election.

The Australian Republic Movement’s latest model adopted such an approach which echoed the failed “politicians’ republic” that emerged from the 1998 Constitutional Convention held in Canberra to which he was an elected Queensland delegate on the team led by former Brisbane Lord Mayor, the late Clem Jones.

The 10-day convention spent too long on a pointless republic-versus-monarchy debate and not enough time devising a model that had the best chance of success at the 1999 referendum.

In addition, the final model put to the

referendum had not commanded majority support even among the 152 elected and appointed delegates to the Constitutional Convention Opinion polls at the time pointed to the model’s defeat.

Historical Newspoll figures show that even immediately before the November 1999 referendum, the model to be put to voters - parliamentary selection of a Head of State - had less than half the level of support recorded for keeping the current system.

Direct election had around 50 per cent voter support compared with just 14 per cent to 15 per cent for the type of ‘politicians’ republic’ rejected in 1999.

Significantly, support for directly electing a Head of State was still far ahead of other options in polling three years later in November 2002.

The “politicians’ republic” model failed in 1999 when it involved MPs sitting in the Federal Parliament making a choice instead of voters.

The ARM’s model is a ‘politicians’ republic’ that has been turbo-charged by widening the involvement of politicians in picking a Head of State to include every MP in every federal, state, and territory parliament.

We must remember the lessons of history which shows that such a model will not gain sufficient support to pass at a referendum.

A direct election model - a genuine direct election model - has the best chance.

Tony celebrates his love of birds WHEN renowned wildlife artist Tony Pridham decided to challenge himself by tackling a hyperrealism painting of a bird, little did he know the finished work would be selected for the 2022 Birds in Art exhibition in the USA, the most important show in the world for bird-painters.

While some choose to paint from other people’s photographs, Tony headed to Ecuador where he could get up close and take macro images of the dazzling hummingbird he wanted to paint.

He and partner Nicky Goudberg, who are the owners and operators of the High Country Maze near Mansfield, took 4500 photographs during their trip to the tropical rainforest in South America, of which only six provided the results Tony was looking for.

The subsequent painting called Amazonia took two weeks to draw and over three months paint - showing his amazing dedication to the project.

“I don’t think anyone understands the emotional investment in an artwork like that,” he says.

“Spending that amount of time is not a luxury you always have - but paintings are never finished - there is always something that can be improved.

We talk to Tony Pridham about his work, his latest book “The Love of Birds” and his 35 year career, in the latest edition of North East Living magazine.

We also hear from motorsport racing stars Zak and Ellexandra Best from Benalla, meet the hard working Scott Solimo as he gears up for the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues and learn why the Kelly family decided to swap their heritage home for a stunning, contemporary design in Beechworth.

We take a trip to Bonnie at All Saints Estate, hear why Feathertop Winery chose to create a European-style private estate and find out why gravel cycling is booming in North East Victoria.

It’s all in the latest edition of North East Living magazine, available for $5.50 from at local newsagencies or from the Wangaratta Chronicle office in Rowan Street.

PICTURE PERFECT: Hyperrealism painting is a painstaking process which has been mastered by Tony Pridham, whose artwork Amazonia was recently chose for a prestigious exhibition in the USA.

Young men avoid conviction for targeted assault A WANGARATTA pair who led a violent assault against a rural city man did so after their victim allegedly made a sexist remark during a confrontation with another coaccused.

The two men in their early 20s fronted Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court on Monday, each pleading guilty to assault in company following the April altercation, which saw the pair and a female chase a 25-year-old man down

Reid Street in the early hours of the morning, before assaulting him near the Ovens and Reid street intersection.

The court heard the victim had allegedly made a sexist remark towards the female and become embroiled in a physical altercation on Murphy Street, after being evicted from a nearby nightspot.

The two accused men were in the area picking up relatives when

they were said to have come to the aid of the woman, with one man chasing and tackling the victim before the other delivered a ‘jumper-punch’ to the man, ripping his shirt.

A female co-accused was also alleged to have kicked the man while he lay on the ground.

The man later reported to Northeast Health Wangaratta, where he was diagnosed with a broken nose.

Defence counsel Nancy Battiato

said her client, who was alleged to have punched the victim, had subsequently ran into the man at a different venue months after the event, when the victim punched her client to the eye.

She said the matter had not been reported to police and both men had shook hands and moved on after the incident.

Magistrate Ian Watkins said the men had been within their rights to defend the woman, but had sig-

nificantly overstepped the mark with their actions.

“There’s a lot of publicity in the community right now about the way we treat women,” he said.

“This should have stopped outside Zambrero’s.

“It was not appropriate - I hope you’ve learned from this matter.”

Both men avoided a conviction for the assault, instead fined $500 each and placed on a good behaviour bond for 12 months.

The Dunners all set for Battle of the Bands

POLICE NEWS

By SIMONE KERWIN

A SELECTION of the North East’s hottest up-and-coming music talent will feature in Sunday’s Battle of the Bands at The Vine Hotel.

Hosted by Spilt Milk (the Rural City of Wangaratta’s youth services FReeZA crew) and The Vine, the event will run from noon to 4pm on Sunday, featuring groups including The Counterfeits, Bad Ibis and The Dunners.

Entrants will compete to be two of the opening acts for the Push All Ages Tour performance in January.

The Dunners drummer Edan Van Bergen said the group, which came together about a year ago, was rapt to have the chance to perform for a crowd as live music returned in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions.

“It’s great; we performed at the Wangaratta High School talent quest (held in April), and that was so much fun and really gave us a taste for it,” he said.

“The talent quest was only for one song, so to be able to perform three songs in a real set will be great. We’ve been looking for somewhere to perform for ages, but it’s been tough fitting it around school.”

Edan and bandmates Ollie Chambers (guitar/vocals), Josh Robbo (bass) and Xavier Zachariou (keys) are all students at Wangaratta High School, and fit their rehearsals into lunch breaks between their year nine and 10 studies.

HELP NEEDED: Police believe a woman (pictured) may be able to assist their investigation into the theft of fuel and number plates in the Wangaratta area.

Woman linked to alleged fuel, number plates theft HOPEFUL: The Dunners, Josh Robbo, Xavier Zachariou, Edan Van Bergen and Ollie Chambers, are looking forward to Sunday’s Battle of the Bands at The Vine Hotel.

“Xav and I have been in a class together since year seven, Ollie joined us in year eight, and Josh came to the band at the end of last year, so we’ve been together as this line-up since last year,” Edan said.

With band members hailing from Cheshunt, Benalla, Wangaratta and Wandiligong, The Dunners are truly representative of the North East, and are looking forward to seeing their fellow entrants perform in person on Sunday, after checking

out their music via Instagram.

“I think we have some confidence; we’ve been practising for a long time, and I’m pretty confident we have a good style,” Edan said.

He described The Dunners’ music as chill indie rock - “very smooth, with a vibe to it”.

“We have one original, and are working on another, but we mostly play covers from bands like Sticky Fingers, Great Gable and Beddy Rays,” he said.

TASTE OF THE STAGE: This year’s Wangaratta High School talent quest was a welcome chance to hit the stage for local band The Dunners.

Doors open at The Vine at 12 noon on Sunday, with the competition kicking off at 12.30pm. Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the FReeZA-funded event, which is drug, alcohol, vape and smoke free.

Tickets to the free event can be secured at https://events.humanitix. com/battle-of-the-bands-p3u82ba4 To see more of The Dunners, see them on Instagram at the_dunners_ music

Carlo Antonioli to conduct MSO during Wangaratta performance RISING STAR: One of Australia’s most promising young conductors Carlo Antonioli will lead the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra when it plays in Wangaratta next week.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC: The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will be playing three works, including Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. PHOTO: Laura Manariti

LOCAL audiences are looking forward to spending an evening with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra when it visits Wangaratta as part of a short tour of regional Victoria in coming days.

The MSO returned to live performances this year and it is presenting a powerful program, featuring the premiere of Spin Dance by renowned local composer Paul Stanhope, the Trumpet Overture by Mendelssohn, and one of the most familiar pieces of classical music of all time - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

On board the tour bus will be Carlo Antonioli - described as one of Australia’s most promising young conductors - who serves as assistant conductor for the MSO and will making his first visit to this region.

A composer in his own right, Carlo already has a full and impressive resume, having worked with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Youth Orchestra and many more since 2018.

He said his career has evolved over time, but started in the later stages of high school when he realised he might be interested in conducting.

His training was as a classical saxophonist - something he admits is probably “even more niche” than conducting.

“I think I’ve always preferred studying a score to practising an instrument,” he says.

“There’s something about practise that never came naturally to me, whereas analysis and using my ears are skills I feel I can rely on more, so conducting seemed natural for my skill set.

“As I was going through my studies (at the Sydney Conserva-

BY ANITA McPHERSON amcpherson@ nemedia.com.au

torium of Music) it became more and more apparent conducting was a path I wanted to pursue.”

Carlo says while he enjoys composing and did so during his school years, it is now more of a hobby, although COVID presented a good opportunity to pursue it when live performances were suspended.

He says for musicians generally it was a very difficult time, although instrumentalists could still practise or play solo, while a conductor, by definition, needs a room full of people in front of them.

The program for next week’s tour had already been planned before Carlo took on the conducting assignment, however he suggested a change in Mendelssohn overtures on the repertoire to better suit the musicians who were coming on this tour.

He said the Trumpet Overture is one that is not often performed, but gives the trombone players who will also be playing the Beethoven Symphony - another opportunity to shine.

Conducting a new work the audience is unfamiliar with, followed by another which is so well-known, would appear to be a difficult ask for any conductor, but Carlo is taking it in his stride.

“It’s challenging to swap mental gears in that way, but it’s good for me, good for the orchestra and good for the audience to have that variety as well,” he says.

“The way you structure a program can follow a theme, or have contrasts and similarities, but this is nicely

balanced, with something old but not too familiar, something entirely new, and arguably the most famous symphony in the repertoire.

“Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 is so famous - you don’t have to advocate on behalf of it to the audience - so although there is some pressure, other things are made easier by that fact.

“New works are always interesting because you are forced to come up with an interpretation within a vacuum, because you don’t have other people’s recordings you can go to listen to.

“I find the processes of composing and of studying a score inverse - one is constructing and the other is deconstructing - and when I’m studying a new score to conduct I’m trying to reason why every note on the page is there and figure out how I could have composed it myself.”

Carlo said he really enjoys the camaraderie and “school trip vibe” which comes with touring with the orchestra and getting to know the musicians, along with the chance to be a tourist and see what is out there in the regions.

Originally from Sydney, he said of all of the places he’s been too, he’s found it fulfilling to see how much an orchestra’s visit is appreciated by regional audiences.

“It’s clear there is a real hunger for these cultural events out in the regions and it’s great to be surrounded by that feeling of goodwill,” he says.

An Evening with the MSO, conducted by Carlo Antonioli, will visit Shepparton, Wangaratta and Albury next week.

It arrives on Wednesday, October 19 at 7.30pm at the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre, with limited tickets available at www.wpacc.com.au.

Driver sidelined after crashing borrowed car

Keep an eye out for two-wheelers on roads ROAD users are being urged to look out for each other throughout October, following a major spike in motorcycle-related road fatalities in 2022.

With weather expected to warm up the coming weeks, Motorcyclist Awareness Month aims to promote shared responsibility on Victorian roads, with the number of two-wheeled vehicles anticipated to rise considerably as the year comes to a close.

Already in 2022, 42 motorcyclists have lost their lives on Victorian roads, with more than half occurring as a result of collisions with other vehicles.

The motorcycle road toll represents more than 20 per cent of the state’s cumulative road death tally, which is up 14 per cent on last year’s figure.

A North East motorcycle safety committee devised earlier this year is also set to table an investigation into updating signage throughout the region,

A WANGARATTA driver who left Cribbes Road and crashed into a number of road signs while driving a friend’s car in breach of interlock requirements will be sidelined for a month.

Facing Wangaratta Magistrates’ Court on Monday, the defendant entered guilty pleas to a number of driving charges, after he crashed his friend’s Toyota transit van as the sole occupant around midnight on August 28 last year.

Police prosecutor Constable Victoria Lennon said the defendant had been driving eastbound near the Salisbury Road intersection when the vehicle veered, crashing into a number of signs and leaving remnants of the vehicle’s front dash and a partial licence plate at the scene.

He returned the vehicle to his friend before returning home, with the owner only noticing the damage after receiving a door knock from police the following morning.

Police were quick to attend the accused’s home after the vehicle’s owner recounted the night’s events, when the defendant made full admissions and told police he had been fatigued after working a nightshift and then driving home from interstate the previous day.

Defence counsel Geoff Clancy disputed claims the vehicle had been used to attend a nearby bottleshop, but noted the accused was a probationary driver with an interlock condition who should not have been driving the vehicle.

Two days after the offending, the accused paid $2500 to the vehicle’s owner in order to cover the damage caused.

Magistrate Ian Watkins said the accused’s prior driving history had previously been met with leniency by the court, and said a one month suspension was in order.

“You can’t expect that (leniency) to continue the more you keep coming back,” he told the accused.

“I think I’d be derelict not to (impose a suspension).

“You did the wrong thing getting behind the wheel of that vehicle at all.”

Mr Watkins also convicted and fined the man $900.

in an effort to minimise risk for motorcyclists at known collision hotspots.

TAC head of road safety Samantha Cockfield said it was important road users maintained awareness at all times while driving throughout the state.

“People on motorbikes are more vulnerable in a crash as they don’t have the same protections as other motor vehicles,” she said.

“More riders should inevitably result in more crashes and if we all look out for one another and be patient, we’ll go a long way toward reducing road trauma.”

Throughout October, promotional signage will be visible at a number of statewide markets and at Phillip Island’s Australian Moto GP.

LOCAL CONCERN: Senior Sergeant Colin Provan is leading a North East road safety committee aimed at minimising risk for motorcyclists on regional roads.

Service well-equipped to handle rising prostate cancer rates

BY SIMONE KERWIN skerwin@ nemedia.com.au

WANGARATTA and region is fortunate to have quality prostate cancer services, according to Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) nursing manager Russell Briggs, who visited the rural city last week.

Mr Briggs was in Wangaratta for a long-awaited in-person catch-up - post COVID restrictions - with local prostate cancer specialist nurses Sally Timmins and Nichola Coates, and Northeast Health Wangaratta manager cancer services Mandy Kavanagh.

“We try to meet within the first six to nine months of a service starting, but COVID stepped in, so this has been a great opportunity to catch-up and look at how the service runs,” he said.

Ms Timmins said PCFA had been an amazing support to the prostate cancer service, which has operated from Northeast Health Wangaratta’s cancer and wellness centre since the start of 2021.

“This is really helpful; it’s good to go through what we’re doing, and what we can do better,” she said.

“We do come up with a series of recommendations for the years to come, so it’s a chance to look at that in person.”

The aim is to encourage people to be tested earlier; the sooner you are tested, the better your survival rate.

- RUSSELL BRIGGS Mr Briggs said some of those recommendations included increasing support for those diagnosed with prostate cancer, as the incidence increased nation-wide, and a focus on survivorship care plans.

“The region is pretty lucky to have the services operating here, and from a PCFA perspective, we want to offer our support,” he said.

While prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer, exceeding breast cancer, Mr Briggs said there were still misconceptions.

“There is still a lot of belief that it’s an old man’s disease, and that you die with it, not from it,” he said.

“But the rate of diagnosis has increased from one in seven to one in five, and the risk of death has also risen.

“In the last several years, the average number of diagnoses was around 18,000, and this year that has increased to 24,000, with an estimated 3500 deaths from prostate cancer.”

Mr Briggs said the increasing incidence was due in part to greater awareness of the condition, and a

rise in the number of people coming forward for testing.

“The aim is to encourage people to be tested earlier; the sooner you are tested, the better your survival rate,” he said.

A more promising figure is the increasing rate of survival of men diagnosed with prostate cancer five years after their diagnosis. However, Mr Briggs said these men often suffered from psychological distress, which was not often spoken about.

“One in four men report distress or anxiety, while one in five reported clinical depression,” he said.

That’s where programs such as the local prostate cancer support group, which has been meeting in Wangaratta since June last year, can assist locals. Mr Briggs also had a chance to meet with members of the group during his visit on Thursday.

“There is a lot to be achieved from peer support, and there are a number of support groups affiliated with the PCFA,” Mr Briggs said.

Mr Briggs said men living in regional areas were statistically at

greater risk of death from prostate cancer, due in part to the number involved in careers such as farming which impacted on their opportunity to visit a doctor, as well as the availability of services, and access to GPs. He said current guidelines for PSA (prostate specific antigen) tests were under review, and with new advances being made, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) tests were being used more often - a less invasive approach with the potential to encourage more men to undergo testing.

“Our message is don’t put off testing, don’t be discouraged by the old myth of the physical exam for prostate cancer, and know your family history, as the risk of prostate cancer can increase - sometimes fivefold - on the strength of your family history with the disease,” Mr Briggs said.

“If you are diagnosed, know that there are incredible services available in Wangaratta and the region.”

Mr Briggs said prostate cancer specialist nurses Sally Timmins and Nichola Coates did a fantastic job locally, but if anyone did not want to speak face-to-face about their diagnosis, there were telenursing services available five days a week on 1800 22 00 99.

“In addition, we have an Australian-first prostate cancer counselling service (which can be requested via the 1800 number).”

New audio series on OAK FM helps Bonegilla commemorate 75 years

By LEAH ANDERSON-BYRNE A NEW six part documentary series celebrating 75 years of Bonegilla Migrant Camp is kicking off this Sunday over the OAK FM airwaves.

Simon Reich, creator of the Up from the Rubble podcast mini-series about his father’s survival story during World War II in Berlin, has interviewed local people who migrated to the camp after WWII and is sharing their stories.

“You will laugh, you’ll cry, but overall, you’ll be inspired by the migrants who passed through Bonegilla migrant camp and went on to be the backbone of North East Victoria,” Simon said.

“A huge thank you to OAK FM in Wangaratta for picking up my audio documentary series, ‘Bonegilla Stories’.

“If you haven’t heard it yet and live in the Wangaratta area, spare half an hour each Sunday lunchtime to be saddened, enlightened, amused, but overall inspired by the immigrants who gave up everything to come to a country they knew nothing about.

“This documentary is very timely, as it will fin-

“During the week of activities beginning on November 21, to mark this milestone, I will be screening video interviews with residents and workers at the camp and allowing the featured people to then field questions from the crowd.”

Simon said the six part series has been singled out by Great Australian Pods - Podcast Directory as a “must listen to” documentary.

The podcast he made about my father, has also just taken out one of the gold statuettes at the W3 awards in the USA, under the miniseries and documentaries categories.

NORTH EAST NATURALLY

Latham’s Snipe A long distance migrant

By IAN DAVIDSON and CHRIS TZAROS

OH SO SHY: Latham’s Snipe on a wetland edge.

PHOTO: Chris Tzaros (Birds Bush and Beyond)

LATHAM’S Snipe are arriving in our region now from their breeding grounds in Japan, to spend summer in our region’s wetlands.

This species is also known as the Japanese Snipe.

They are very difficult to see even when you know exactly where they are hiding in the grass, because of their excellent camouflage.

This allows them to blend into the background until, with a loud krek! they suddenly burst from their hiding place, only to land somewhere nearby where they become instantly invisible again.

Latham’s Snipe have mainly cryptic brown plumage, a long and straight bill, short wings and a long-pointed tail.

They have short legs and when folded, the wings reach well past the tail, giving a pointed look.

The upper body is boldly patterned with black, brown and white.

There is a bold narrow dark

brown cheek stripe and dark line through the eye.

The sexes are similar and, unlike most migratory wading birds, do not show a lot of seasonal variation.

The eyes are set well back on the distinctive rounded head.

Snipe are very shy and wary and burst from cover when disturbed, zig-zagging off with a very fast flight, with a ‘krek’ call, before dropping to cover again.

This is often the first indication that they are around, as they are usually well-camouflaged when still.

These birds visit southeast Australia including Tasmania, passing through the north and New Guinea on their way.

Latham’s Snipe breed in Japan and on the east Asian mainland.

Latham’s Snipe can be seen in small groups or singly in freshwater wetlands, generally

among dense cover including sedges, grasses, lignum, reeds and rushes. They can also be found on crops and pasture.

Latham’s Snipe roost in the day and feed at night, early morning or evening by thrusting their long bill into mud with an up and down ‘sewing machine’ action in soft mudflats or shallow water.

They are omnivorous, eating seeds and plant material, worms, spiders and insects, snails, and centipedes.

Nearly all Latham Snipe sightings occur incidentally when walking on the edge of well vegetated and mostly treeless swamps and they explode up from the vegetation.

Snipe were hunted as game up until the early 1980s in Victoria, when their population was identified as dropping.

They are now fully protected under a treaty known as the Japan Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (JAMBA).

It appears that their numbers are once again stable.

Hay fever season is in full swing already this year and with a record pollen count expected, symptoms will only get worse.

Skinsational Cosmetic Nursing has treatments available to help reduce those nasty symptoms we all get.

Anti-Wrinkle treatment has been proven to be an effective temporary treatment to help prevent symptoms by blocking the nerve endings in the nasal passage and reducing inflammation.

Most patients report a heavy reduction or full relief from symptoms.

The treatment is both needle and pain free! We recommend patients get the treatment done at the start of the season before symptoms fully arise, this allows for the treatment to kick in. So now is the perfect time to book in.

Along with helping hay fever, anti-wrinkle treatments can also be used to help with what is known as Hyperhidrosis

(excessive sweating).

Anti-wrinkle is injected into the underarm area and the nerves in the area that are responsible for activating sweat glands are inhibited.

This treatment is quick, mild discomfort and has no downtime. Patient satisfaction is high with this treatment and is perfect coming into summer months.

Skinsational Cosmetic nursing is now home to the Triwave MD LED machine, the most powerful of its kind, to help with giving patients the radiant and rejuvenated skin we all desire.

Mt Beauty airport to get a runway upgade

THE multi-million dollar upgrade of the Mount Beauty Airport continues to move forward with the unsealed runway surface reportedly performing well despite the wet winter.

At its meeting last week, Alpine Shire Council approved the project to proceed with an asphalt surface treatment, following the completed lifecycle analysis and the strategic alignment with Council’s Climate Action Plan.

The report read a 25mm asphalt surface treatment can be delivered within the approved project budget.

An asphalt surface treatment was recommended as it results in a lower renewal cost to council and provides a better user experience for airport users.

Asphalt also has a 20 per

cent lower CO2 impact over the 25 year lifecycle, which aligns with the objectives of Council’s Climate Action Plan.

In June this year the Mount Beauty Airport Management Association (MBAMA) was granted permission to use and occupy the airport subject to restricted conditions.

As such a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was put in place stipulating the roles and responsibilities of the association and council during this period.

Additionally, council proposed that a service agreement and licence be developed to replace the existing MOU once the airport is completed and fully functional.

During the airport upgrade, council in collaboration with the MBAMA has identified the opportunity

to complete a full review of the association, the airport operating model and the partnership between the association and council.

Engagement with members of the association, user groups and the broader community will occur to determine the most effective model for the operation of the airport.

The committee of the airport management association has been consulted and is supportive of the asphalt surface treatment and the review of its operating model.

It said the project will be completed by spring, however, if favourable weather conditions permit, the project could be completed earlier.

Council’s contribution to this project is $1,784,318 of the total project budget of $3,303,489.

Students St d t k keen tto reveall 1860 Chi Chinese settlement ttl t

By ANDY WILSON HISTORY in Harrietville is being uncovered during October thanks to The Uncovered Past Institute (TUPI) whose members are organising a survey of a 19th century Chinese settlement.

A narrow stretch of land beside the east Ovens River was home to about 100 Chinese gold miners between 1860 and 1909.

Paul MacGregor, president of TUPI, is coordinating the survey with Andrew Swift, and said that the survey differs from a normal archaeological dig.

“This is a scatter analysis, in which we look at what artefacts are on the ground’s surface instead of digging for items that may be underground,” Mr MacGregor said.

Mr Swift said that TUPI was formed to undertake the kind of research in the areas which would normally receive government funding.

“Such financial support rarely happens in this part of the world,” he said.

The survey has involved the clearing of ground-level vegetation and has so far

revealed the foundations of several huts built by the miners, as well as a vegetable garden, several artefacts, and an old dray road.

One exciting discovery made last week was the remains of a double-hearth fireplace.

The richness of the site’s history matches that of the learning being undertaken, as the project brings together an eclectic mix of 20 burgeoning archaeology students from eight universities, as well as one high school student.

Mr Swift was quick to praise the students involved.

“They are very keen eager beavers who are quick at learning, and come from universities from as far away as southern Queensland and South Australia,” he said.

“We also like to get local communities involved and I’ve got a bit of a mentor here in Mason Anders from Bright P12 who is on work experience and who has an interest in history.”

Volunteer Rhonda Hinds said that while universities deal with the theoretical world in teaching archaeol-

ogy, the survey was helping students construct a site narrative to tell more of the story of the miners’ lives.

“History and archaeology need to be working together,” Ms Hinds said.

“That’s not necessarily the sort of things that universities are placed to convey to students and we want to capture features around the building sites and see if they tell a story,” she said.

Mr MacGregor said that students gain academic credit for their input.

“A lot of universities require a certain amount of field work which they don’t provide; students need to go out and find it,” he said.

University student Jessica Brown said that TUPI helped teach the basics of some archaeological skills.

“It is good to get this experience to complement our theory work,” Ms Brown said.

“This field-based knowledge is great to have instead of trying to get into a job without experience.”

The survey will run until Saturday, October 22 and is situated along the East Ovens track, Harrietville.

REGIONAL NEWS

Fight to stop MND goes on

CHALLENGING weather conditions across Victoria have forced the organisers of Daniher’s Drive to amend their plans and route for the 80-car convoy which was set to depart from the MCG yesterdaymorning.

Instead, Daniher’s Drive will depart from Melbourne on Friday, coming together in Yarragon before travelling through to Lakes Entrance as initially planned.

With the official launch from the MCG cancelled for Thursday morning, the FightMND team have rallied together and organised an event for Drive participants last night in South Melbourne.

With inclement weather conditions, road closures and the increasing risk of flooding affecting key parts of the route, the decision to change the event was made to protect the health and safety of all participants and reduce any added burden on emergency resources in the region.

Sadly, the events at Wallan, Euroa, Wangaratta, Myrtleford and Bright will no longer go ahead.

FightMND Campaigns Director Bec Daniher said given the challenging weather conditions predicted for Thursday, they’ve had to make the tough decision to change the route of this year’s Daniher’s Drive.

“We’re incredibly disappointed that our Drive convoy won’t be able to visit the communities in Victoria’s North East this year, but the safety of our Drive family remains our number one pri-

FUNDRAISING STARS: Guy Rigoni (third from left) with former Melbourne Demons coach (fifth from left) Neale Daniher and other former Melbourne teammates during a previous Daniher’s Drive. ority,” she said.

“We also wanted to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on emergency services in impacted areas.

“But as Neale says, we must Play On and I have no doubt the Drive will be a celebration to remember as we rally together to raise awareness and funds for the fight against MND.” A convoy of 80 cars and nearly 300 people were scheduled to drive into Myrtleford yesterday as part

of Daniher’s Drive - FightMND’s annual regional road trip to raise awareness and funds for the fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

FightMND set out to raise $900,000 for the drive - a goal they have soundly trumped.

Chief executive officer Fiona McIntosh said they had recently reached $1.2m in their fundraising efforts, money that will go to researching a cure for MND also known as ‘the beast’ to the

FightMND team.

To donate to the drive go to https://fightmnd.org.au/danihersdrive/.

People can also buy a raffle ticket to win a caravan, valued at $61,990, at https://www.raffletix. com.au/?ref=r5t3u&sref=kmfrfg65 or visit the website by scanning this QR code with their mobile phones.

All funds raised go to MND research and care to improve the lives of people living with MND.

TOYOTA HILUX ROGUE

■ ALMOST LIVING UP TO ITS NAME: Sticking point . . . the HiLux Rogue tub top on test was low on convenience but in many respects still deserves its ‘halo’ moniker..

By DEREK OGDEN CARS, computers and lawnmowers - when they go, they are great, when they don’t, they’re about as useful as a hip pocket in a singlet.

That brings me to the HiLux Rogue.

Among the varied dictionary definitions of ‘rogue’ comes ‘an individual deviating from the normal, usually inferior’.

My time with Toyota’s MY21 top-dog ute had a niggle or two.

For a start the Aussie-designed and developed motorised roll-top tub cover pulled up short, literally, on my first attempt to store it, jamming inches away from being fully retracted.

No amount of pressing opening and closing buttons freed the pesky piece of apparatus.

A little less annoying was the key fob, which was erratic with its door locking and unlocking functions activating only when a few metres from the cabin. Equivalent automotive security systems usually can be operated from greater distance to the vehicle: often handy in a crowded car park.

Over to you, Toyota.

Anyway, enough of this negativity, the Rogue deserves its HiLux ‘halo’ in some respects.

Generally, it’s a credit to local engineers and designers, who were tasked with producing a combination of toughness, complemented by a more recreational focus for a vehicle designed to go anywhere and be sold in markets around the world.

Toyota Australia’s role in developing and evaluating the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-

diesel engine, rear suspension and hydraulic power steering was supported by teams from Japan and Thailand, as well as representatives from other markets.

The Rogue sells for $68,990, plus on-road costs and options.

The HiLux, in general, continues its reign as the best-selling vehicle in Australia and like all Toyota vehicles is covered

by Toyota Service Advantage, with each of the first scheduled services costing just $250 each.

STYLING Out of Toyota’s Melbourne design studio comes a dark vertical grille that cascades from the bonnet down to the prominent lower bumper and under-guard.

LED headlamps, with dark internals, combine with bold outer corners of the bumper, which links to strong fog lamp surrounds.

An aggressive side profile continues the theme with robust fender flares, unique wheel-arch mouldings and an integrated resin sports bar making its debut. Wheel-arches also are generous enough to take bigger, fatter alloys than the factory-fitted 18-inchers.

A new sports bar, made from resin, is easier to mould than steel, allowing it to have a more artistic ‘sailplane’ shape.

Out back are redesigned bumper and tailgate.

The tub itself is kitted out, up the walls too, like a fully carpeted lounge room, with marine-grade, the liner lifting appearance and coverage.

The design makeover is made complete by a chrome Toyota tailgate badge and new decals on the tailgate

and sports bar.

INTERIOR The cabin is dominated by hard surfaces, which is hardly a serious criticism for a hardworking ute.

However, coming to the classy rescue are black perforated leather-accented seats with grey outboard accents.

The front seats are heated while the driver’s seat has eight-way power adjustments.

Front and rear carpet mats are included for Rogue.

There’s a deep cubby in the centre console and a doubledecker dash-mounted glovebox, the upper section cooled.

Door storage includes convenient bottle slots.

INFOTAINMENT Pride of place is a larger eight-inch display touchscreen plus control knobs, an upgraded multimedia system with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and a premium JBL ninespeaker sound system. One USB point and two AC 220Volt accessory sockets are standard.

Restyled instruments consist of an analogue speedo and rev counter with blue pointers flanking a 4.2-inch multi-information display, which now incorporates a digital speed readout and a pictogram showing the angle of the front wheels.

Satellite navigation is easier to use with enhanced voice recognition, while other additions include an electro-chromatic rear-view mirror, new ornamentation and blue illumination.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The upgraded 1GD turbodiesel engine now develops 150 kW at 3400 rpm and 500

Nm between 1600 and 2800 rpm, gains of 15 per cent and 11.1 per cent respectively.

The six-speed automatic transmission was recalibrated to allow earlier lock-up for improved acceleration and to ensure Toyota’s temperature tolerances, especially when towing, were observed.

SAFETY The HiLux Rogue carries a five-star safety rating on 2019 testing and is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking and the ability to detect pedestrians around the clock and cyclists in daylight.

It is also equipped with high-speed active cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist.

Electronic systems include anti-skid brakes, vehicle stability and traction control, brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution, trailer sway control, downhill assist and an emergency stop signal (hazard lights).

Like every HiLux, the Rogue is equipped with seven airbags and a reversing camera.

DRIVING Driving has been made easier than before by work done on the rear suspension, improving unladen ride comfort while a new variable flowcontrol power-steering pump offers more help in low-speed manoeuvres such as parking.

Braked towing capacity has been uprated by 300kg to 3500kg, courtesy of the higher-output engine and a recalibrated six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.

Toyota claims a combined urban/highway fuel consump-

tion of 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres. The test vehicle worked out at 11.7 litres per 100 kilometres in suburban streets down to 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres when on the motorway.

Improved ride and handling are all-encompassing with the MY20 Rogue.

Leaf springs and shock absorbers were re-tuned to improve unladen ride comfort without compromising the vehicle’s ability to carry loads over uneven terrain, while lowfriction rear shackle bushes add to ride comfort.

Rear stability benefits from leaf spring front bushes with increased lateral stiffness.

Revised chassis mounts reduce vibrations and noise transfer to the cabin, particularly on rough roads.

A variable flow control power-steering pump improves steering feeling on winding country roads and reduces steering effort when parking.

Pity about the outsize 12.6 metre turning circle.

There’s also a low-range mode for off-road driving.

SUMMARY The Rogue is up against some of the stiffest competition in the premium luxury ute market (the runaway Ford Ranger Wildtrack springs to mind).

It’s fair to say the power roll top would be considered an important selling point for the Hilux ‘hero’ and the failure of the accessory on test is not what we have come to expect from Toyota.

Oxley table tennis finishes with a bang GRAND Final night of the Oxley table tennis competition was grand in every way, when 30 players arrived full of vigour, enthusiasm and excitement amid everything that ‘grandies’ provide.

Everyone decked out in outfits representing many sporting codes including football, hockey, tennis, marathon runners, cycling and bowls.

It was fun and games for all from the moment the doors opened at 7pm, until very late at night.

It was ladies first when hockey champion Janet Heath paired up with Julie, who ‘Reid’s’ the game well, to take on ‘office bearer extraordinaire’ Alison Stephens, and the girl who is always up for the count, Erica Pike.

As predicted there was much laughter and small, but loud, talk, as each pair desperately tried to outplay and outfox the other.

Great to watch and final scores of 21-20 said it all.

When there’s a Will there’s a way Bonwick was determined to show the way home, when he and ‘star of the stage’ Dianne Feldtman challenged ‘size doesn’t count’ Kate Cole and ‘spring chicken’ Phoebe Bosley.

As expected it was a point to

point contest with each player putting their best foots’ forward from the word go.

While spectators applauded and groaned after the winning and losing shots, it wasn’t until Cole let everyone know that she and Bosley won by a whisker.

Margot Ingwersen was all electric (or eclectic) when she lined up wearing apparel of a number of sporting codes.

Partnering four wheel drive exponent, Simon Brown, they faced the man who takes the high road, Neil Spurgeon, and the girl who takes the low road, Sue McGregor.

And with victory in the minds of all four, everyone travelled hard and fast down the middle road with break neck pace on every shot.

But after a hair raising ride, ‘spin around’ Brown and ‘electric powered’ Ingwersen won 21-19.

When anglers John and Joyce Fisher lured ‘smilin Brian’ Bourke and ‘first man around’ Adam Bosley into a contest, it was a ‘shore’ thing they would be casting and chasing the bait in a tough tussle.

Physical and brain power from all four had spectators hooked from the ping of the ball.

Very exhausting to play and too

exhausting to watch.

Fully focused and with his eye on the ball, Jason Mullins and ‘Doc’ Martin Butcher knew they would have to be on the ball when they fronted the ‘intrepid caravan traveller’ Cheryl Coad and ‘always up for it’ Zac Mullins.

Every point was a real challenge as each player threw everything but their bats at every ball that came their way.

And this strength and power was truly evident when in one grand slam shot, the ball was punctured.

After having played a number of games loud and laughing, Lucy Uebergang still had plenty of gas in the tank when she and her sister, Maria Matavesi, pinged and ponged in a singles games. With Matavesi still playing as an apprentice, Uebergang, now a fully qualified exponent of the game, gave a tutorial of the rules and skills Look out for Matavesi next year.

The young boy with 2026 Commenwealth Games aspirations, Archie Crispin and ‘old boy’ Don Heath, were in fine form when they faced the Poulos brothers, Manni and Theo.

Fit and fresh after his holiday, Manni had plenty up his sleeve as

he and the untiring Theo played in tandemm for every point.

But Crispin and Heah had their thinking caps on and met every challenge head on.

Wearing his Relay for Life guernsey, Neil Brock was in good form, when he and Roos supporter Graham Stephens challenged ‘pedal power’ Gary Coad and June Uebergang, who ‘ain’t what she used to be’.

Plenty of powerful serving and driving mixed with swish and miss shots all added up to a glorious performance by some, but inglorious by others.

During the evening June Uebergang thanked everyone for their support and input into the wonderfully successful physical and social group activities for 2022.

And in recognition of his enthusiastic performance and improvement in the skills of the game, June presented Archie Crispin with an encouragement award trophy, and wished him all the for his future.

Following a long night of physical intensity and social interaction everyone enjoyed a cuppa and a bounteous spread of food.

The group will resume activities in the early months of 2023.

Boots were off for those wanting to keep them dry and we were back on the track continuing onto Mt Cobbler.

Lunch was enjoyed with some excellent views near the peak before we ventured up the rock face to scramble across the ditch to the peak for some of the best alpine views with patchy snow across the alps.

A small brown snake was disturbed from its sunny spot, it didn’t have the peak all to itself any longer.

After enjoying the views and handstands from the young and energetic, it was back across the ditch to the rock face and start the descent back to Lake Cobbler.

We returned via the alternative more level, elevated and longer bush track to Lake Cobbler Track and finally to Lake Cobbler to complete our walk of approx.

WARBY WALKERS FRIDAY, October 7 to Sunday, October 9 Weekend at Typo Station, Upper King Valley On Saturday, five walkers started off in brilliant sunshine to walk an 8.5km loop starting at Typo Station and going in a westerly direction.

We saw plenty of bird life and enjoyed the amazing scenery along the way, arriving back at Typo Station in time for lunch after this three hour walk.

On the main walk, 15 trekkers set off from Typo Station in vehicles for more than an hour’s drive to Lake Cobbler for their walk to Mt Cobbler.

Enroute, a mandatory stop was to check out the spectacular Dandongadale Falls which was loaded with water due to this year’s wet winter and spring.

After our arrival at Lake Cobbler our first water crossing presented with the overflow from the lake over the road, so it was boots off or rock hopping with some luck to stay dry.

Group photos at the hut and lake were taken before setting off on the bush track to Mt Cobbler.

High Gun for Henshall at clay target competition PERFECT weather greeted a small but enthusiastic field of shooters at the Wangaratta Clay Target Club’s sporting clays competition on Sunday, October 9.

The sun was out early, making for good visibility and leading to significantly higher scores on average compared to recent competitions.

Jake Henshall made the most of those excellent conditions to shoot the day’s highest score and take High Gun honours.

Anton and Matt Motha, Brian Reid, Graham Coyle, Phil Smith and new committee member Simon Palubiski pooled their considerable knowledge and experience to produce layouts to suit all skill levels.

The nature of the layouts led to tight competition and close scores in all grade levels.

Wodonga visitor Ryan Leman took the AA Grade win on 86/100 with local shooter Shaun McGauran second for

WINNERS: (L-R) Reg Carmody, Jake Henshall, Matt Motha, Paul Everingham, David Jackel, Mitch Benton, Paul Jacobs, Trina Adams, Finn McBurnie, Ryan Leman. the second month in a row, this time with 85/100.

Jake Henshall shot an excellent 88/100 to take out A Grade.

The Henshall name has been associated with the Wang club for a long time, so it was no surprise to see another generation of the family

at the pointy end in competition. David Jackel, another well-known face at the club, took second in A Grade on 97/110 after a shoot-off with Charlie Bonnitcha.

B Grade went to Matt Motha with 83/100, the second month in a row he’s topped the grade.

Benalla Field and Game shooter Paul Jacobs was second on 81/100.

Finn McBurnie is not even a teenager yet and only started shooting back in June of this year, but he shot an impressive 72/100 to win C Grade.

Host club member Paul

Everingham was second on 66/100.

Overall High Gun went to Jake Henshall with 88/100.

Junior High Gun was Mitch Benton on 70/100.

Trina Adams took the Ladies High Gun with 81/100 and the Veterans High Gun was Reg Carmody on 85/100.

Thanks to the trap layout crew mentioned above, to Linda Motha and Alison Harwood for running the office and to Anita Klima and Bruce Henshall for looking after the canteen.

It seems to be the same names each month when talking about the volunteers.

A few new faces on the team would be greatly appreciated.

At the end of the day, after the presentations, the club’s exciting new universal skeet layout was opened up and 15 shooters gave it a try.

Maybe it’s called universal trench because all those who shoot it tend to be universally impressed.

The Wangaratta Clay Target Club’s next competition will be Down the Line on Saturday, October 15.

Visitors are always welcome.

Tough weekend ahead for Wangaratta Warriors HAVE A GO: Women and girls enjoy a session of softball at Targoora Park last Saturday at the Wangaratta Rangers softball try-out day.

By WILLSON MACK WANGARATTA Warriors will play another double-header this weekend after opening their season in the same way two weeks ago.

Wangaratta will shape up against Wallan away on Saturday night, a team who won their first game of the year against Wodonga by 20 points.

They will then host the highlyrated Benalla on Sunday which has won three on the trot against Albury, Myrtleford and Mansfield.

Warriors coach Adam Maher admitted his side is in for a tough weekend.

“No doubt it’s going to be a challenging weekend, both Benalla and Wallan are good sides,” Maher said.

“I thought Wallan were going to be similar to us but we’ve seen that they’re still going to be thereabouts this season.

“And then Benalla on Sunday will be really tough, they’ve got a number of players from Shepparton since they pulled out of the competition which will make them even better.”

Wallan’s duo of Ryan Phillippe and Luke Liesegang will need to be looked after as they combined for 40 points in their 67-47 win over the Wolves.

“The big one will be looking

Softball tryouts on no matter what

POPULAR: Wangaratta Warriors will be hoping plenty of young fans watch their clash at home on Sunday against Benalla. after Phillippe and Liesegang because they shot the majority of their team’s points last weekend,” Maher said.

“They can really shoot the lights out so our defence is going to have to be on for the full 40 minutes.

“They’re a younger side but any lapses with teams with players that can shoot threes could see them put 10 points on us in the space of 10 minutes.”

As for Benalla on Sunday, the Warriors will get a real reality check.

Eric Miraflores has shown he’ll once again be one of the premier players in the competition, racking up 75 points in three games to average 25 per game.

“Eric will be so hard to stop,” Maher said.

“Someone will get a job on him, most likely Liam Wright but Ned Turner could go with him as well..

“Lloyd’s (Wright) the other one that could get a job on him but we need him on the inside so Liam will start and then those two can give

Liam a chop out when needed.”

Maher said his side will pride themselves on their defence across the double-header.

“We’re so underprepared but one thing I have been impressed with is our team defence,” he said.

“Our defence has been at such a high level so we’re going to need to bring that.

“You obviously need to score too but if we can play hard defence and then pick away at them in offence we might be able to go with them.”

READY TO POUNCE: The Wangaratta Warriors women’s side will be looking to bounce back this Saturday against the Wallan Panthers, coming off a bye week and a 26 point loss to Wodonga in round one.

Warriors women keen to bounce back after bye

By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN WANGARATTA Warriors women’s team is quietly confident of their chances to bounce back against the Wallan Panthers tomorrow night at Wallan.

The Warriors had the bye last week after going down to Wodonga in round one and were able to put in extra training throughout the break.

Coach Scott Butler said the bye was beneficial for his team who had limited preparation going into their first game.

“We got to go over some of the things we didn’t get to go over in round one because we had limited

training coming into it so we’ve had another training this week and addressed some of the issues we had in game one,” he said.

“We’ve also had a chance now to address our offence better, we’ve got a really smart team so they adjust really quickly.”

Wallan went down to Wodonga last week by 19 points, a similar margin to the Warriors loss in round one.

Butler said despite the absence of both Taylah and Georgia Reidy, he thinks his side will match up well with the Panthers.

“I think the girls will compete pretty hard,” he said.

“We’re missing a few players,

missing the Reidy girls who are really important to the team, the maturity and skill they bring will be missed but the rest of the girls hold their ground really well and hopefully we’ll get another few returning to the team this weekend.”

Butler said he has great faith his young side will find their groove sooner rather than later, having experience coaching many of the players.

“The good thing about this team is they all know each other and have all played with each other at some stage of their lives,” he said.

“Besides the Reidy girls they’ve all had me as coach since they were really young, so getting them to

gel is not too hard because they all know exactly the way I feel about the team.”

In their match against Wodonga a fortnight ago, a slow start cost the Warriors as they fell behind by an unsustainable margin in the first half.

Butler said the girls will be much more prepared by tip-off at Wallan.

“It was a little bit of confusion in defence, we hadn’t had that real defence training yet and we’ve been addressing a few of those problems,” he said.

“I think they’ll certainly hold their ground this week and by the first quarter they’ll be ready to go.”

WANGARATTA Rangers Baseball Softball Club remain confident in holding a try-out tomorrow for girls and women from aged eight and over interested in playing softball depite the inclement weather.

Organiser Lauren Dinsdale said the session won’t be canceled.

“We’ll be there rain, hail or shine,” she said.

“If it’s raining or too wet we can still do some drills inside or in the batting cages.

“Even if it’s just a little info session or learning more about the game, we’ll do something.”

Rangers aim to have junior and senior softball teams which will be based at the club’s Targoora Park complex where tomorrow’s try-out will take place from 3pm-5pm.

Try-outs will will continue for the following two weekends at the same time on Saturday, October 22 and 29.

All equipment including bats, mitts and protective gear will be supplied at the try-outs, all participants have to do is bring runners and comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and a water bottle.

There will be experienced players and coaches on hand to teach the various skills of the game, and the club kiosk will be open for refreshments.

The club hopes to have enough players to hold a small round-robin event after the try-outs before Christmas.

A1 bowlers keen to go one better in O&M competition

By WILLSON MACK

KEY PLAYER: Adrian Pantling will be in for a big season in Wangaratta’s A1 team this season.

PHOTO: Melissa Beattie

THE Ovens and Murray Bowls competition begins for all grades bar the A3 this weekend.

The A3 competition started last weekend with Wangaratta winning their first match convincingly against Moira.

Along with A3, the Wangaratta Bowls Club will have teams in the A1, B1 and B3 this year and A1’s Maurie Braden can’t wait for the season to kick-off.

“Numbers are pretty similar to last year which is good so we’ll be looking to build on what was a good last season,” Braden said.

“We’ve only lost one player which is Dylan Filuk, he went to Yarrawonga, but that gives someone else a chance to come up into the A1.

“We’ll have to restructure a bit but we should be in for a decent season.”

Wangaratta will be in for a tough first two rounds as they battle unavailability with Jodie Fruend, Ethan Fruend and Adrian Pantling all competing at the national titles at the Gold Coast.

“We might be a bit vulnerable in the first couple of rounds,” Braden said.

“But I think we’ve got a bit more depth this year with the A3 having a big win over Moira last weekend who are a decent side.

“The gap mighn’t be as much between A1 and A3 which will help when we have players out.”

Wangaratta fell in straight sets last season after earning a double chance, going down to Wodonga by 27 shots in the preliminary final.

Braden noted Wodonga and YMGCR as the teams to beat.

“Wodonga have picked up three from North Albury and also Jason King who’s returning from the premier league,” he said.

“YMGCR will also be thereabouts but I definitely think we should be looking for top four.

“Losing in straight sets definitely makes everyone hungry, we were probably a bit unlucky in the semifinal against YMGCR but we let ourselves down the next week against Wodonga.

“Everyone’s keen to go one better.”

Over before it started ROUND one of the Wangaratta and District Cricket Association is over before it even started.

The WDCA executive met on Wednesday night and decided to cancel all senior and junior cricket scheduled for this weekend due to the current state of available venues, as well as the rainfall the region has seen over the past couple of days.

The WDCA has made the decision to abandon all games this weekend with rain continuing g to smash the region g

WDCA president Justin Kelly said it was a disappointing outcome.

“There’s a fair few unavailable grounds so we discussed shifting games to hard wickets but we thought it would be asier to cancel the whole thing,” Kelly said.

“All the outfields will still be soaked so swapping venues still won’t work so

we called it early.

“There’s also the threat of flooding and things like that so it’s easier to start fresh next weekend.”

Despite the abandoned round, the fixture won’t be changed.

“We discussed changing

the fixture but we decided to leave it as is,” Kelly said.

“This round will just be a wash out and we’ll move on to next weekend.

“Hopefully we can get play in then.”

Round two of the WDCA A grade season will see

City Colts host Delatite, Wangaratta Magpies play Beechworth at home, Rovers United Bruck makes the trip to Yarrawonga and Ovens Valley United are set to host Benalla.

Meanwhile, Beechworth Wanderers have pulled out of the C grade competition.

That now leaves five teams in the grade meaning a bye will be added to the fixture.
