Fatal stabbing Murder trial begins: g p prosecutors allege g intent,, defence contends self-defence DEFENCE lawyer l Daniel D i l Sala has urged jurors to put the prejudice of drug activity out of their minds, following the fatal stabbing of a Wangaratta teenager during an attempted drug deal in 2021. Zachary Johnson, now 20, faced Wangaratta Supreme Court earlier this week, pleading not guilty to a charge of murdering fellow teenager Jaxen HendersonGillespie, who was fatally stabbed in the neck during an altercation
att Wangaratta’s Scoutt Park W tt ’ S P k on August 21. “You are going to hear that the reason these three people met up was for a drug deal,” Mr Sala told jurors. “It’s not particularly pleasant no doubt some of you have very strong views about what that kind of thing does to the community.” Providing his opening address on Wednesday, prosecutor Mark Gibson KC told jurors Mr Henderson-Gillespie and friend Brody Rouse had attended the

park by ttravelling k around d 55.40pm 40 b lli along Vincent Road before meeting Mr Johnson, who himself had cut into the park through Smith Crescent. The court heard Mr Rouse and Mr Johnson had entered the meeting unsure of where they stood with each other, following an altercation three months previous, and that Mr Johnson had carried a knife with him at the time. He had earlier replied to a text from his sister asking whether the
pair by stating i were okay k b t ti ““yeah, h I think. IDK (I don’t know)”. Presenting a summary of the offending to the jury, Mr Gibson said Mr Rouse had attempted to walk away from the scene, when Mr Johnson pulled the knife and attacked the deceased. He said Mr Rouse had not seen the exact moment of the stabbing but had seen the knife when it was pulled out of Mr HendersonGillespie’s neck. Mr Rouse was alleged to have
the accused killed ttold ld th d ““you jjustt kill d my best mate”, before grabbing the knife’s blade to prevent it being used on him. A nearby off-duty police officer was said to have seen three people fighting, with at least one male throwing “extreme” punches. A number of nearby neighbours were said to have rendered first aid assistance at the scene, but paramedics were unable to revive Mr Henderson-Gillespie. ■ Continued page 2

Murder trial begins: prosecutors allege intent, defence contends self-defence ■ From front page
The court heard Mr Johnson had run from the scene and contacted his sister, before his mother attended the accused’s Smith Crescent home to find him loading bloodstained clothes and a knife into a plastic bag to surrender to the police. The accused was said to have told family members he had been punched from behind by the deceased and then jumped by the pair, and had swung the knife as a means to scare them off. He later surrendered himself to police, claiming he had taken the knife for selfdefence and had swung his arm after being set upon by the deceased. Mr Gibson said the crown would contend Mr Johnson had acted with intent to cause death or serious injury to Mr HendersonGillespie. However, in response, Mr Sala contended the intention had been self-defence. He said there was no dispute Mr Johnson had taken a knife to the meeting and that the same knife had been plunged into Mr Henderson-Gillespie’s neck, however, he urged the jury to consider the altercation had involved three relatively young men. “This involved young men, 18-year-old men,” he said on Wednesday. “We are not at the park, we are not watching it unfold, able to assess it as it goes.” Mr Sala said fights often did not follow clear lines, and urged jurors to place weight first on the evidence of those immediately present at the altercation, ahead of bystanders and eyewitnesses. The trial continues.

Welcome rainfall after three very dry months By JEFF ZEUSCHNER
AT LAST: Wet roads and running gutters were a welcome sight in Wangaratta late Tuesday afternoon. PHOTO: Jeff Zeuschner
RAINFALL Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning delivered Wangaratta’s heaviest falls so far this year. In fact, the 27mm which the Bureau of Meteorology weather station at Wangaratta Airport recorded in the 24hrs to 9am Wednesday, was the most rainfall since 28.8mm fell on November 14 last year. The welcome rainfall quenched parched lawns and helped subdue the rising threat of grassfires after two months of dry conditions. It has also provided Wangaratta with its first month of above average rainfall since November, with the current 43.2mm slightly above the 30 year mean average of 40.7mm. The city only recorded 11.6mm last month (42mm average), 29mm
in January (45mm average) and 8.2mm in December (44.2mm average). Rainfall from the midweek storms varied greatly across the North East, with Greta a prime example - Greta South recording 62mm and Greta West 36mm. The North East’s heaviest downpour was reported at Lake Buffalo with 91mm, with Myrrhee having 70mm, Carboor Upper 67mm and Mt Buffalo and Upper Buckland 62mm each. Bobinawarrah had 52mm, Eldorado 31mm and Cheshunt 29mm. Bright and Harrietville had 49mm each, Albury 18mm, Rutherglen 12mm and Yarrawonga 3.2mm. The bureau is forecasting clear conditions today and tomorrow, but the chance of showers Sunday to Wednesday.

Tech school to offer STEM ‘taster’ classes
Homeless in our city
By SIMONE KERWIN
CRISIS GROWING: Homelessness rates are rising in the region with a 67 per cent increase in Wangaratta in five years.
PHOTO: Beyond Housing
Census d C data shows h 67% rise i iin W Wangaratta g h homelessness l HOMELESSNESS iin W Wangaratta tt has increased by 67 per cent since 2016, with 125 people classified as homeless in Wangaratta, according to 2021 Census data released on Wednesday. The rise in Wangaratta’s homelessness compares to a 28 per cent increase in Wodonga and 26 per cent in the Strathbogie Shire between the 2016 and 2021 Census results. More than 1222 people experienced homelessness on 2021 Census night in the Ovens Murray and Goulburn regions, an increase of 13.2 per cent from 2016. Celia Adams, chief executive officer of BeyondHousing, the region’s main homelessness system access point, said Census data offers an important insight into the prevalence of homelessness in the region, putting numbers on what the organisation knew was happening in the region. “The Census gives us a snapshot of what is happening and is valu-
able homelessness bl iin iinforming f i h l support services like ours, our partner agencies, and decisionmakers at all levels of government about the considerable homelessness need in our community,” she said. “We know from the demand for our services that the homelessness experience for regional Victorians has been an enduring and often repeated one due to the rising costs of rent, a decline in the availability of affordable rental housing and mounting pressure from increased costs of living. “Across Australia, 48 people are experiencing homelessness for every 10,000 people, in Victoria it is 47 in 10,000, but in our region, we are seeing rates much higher.” In Moira Shire, it is 77 per 10,000 people, 61 per 10,000 in Greater Shepparton and 50 per 10,000 in Wodonga. “We are also able to see the number of people considered marginally housed and at risk of home-
said. llessness,”” Ms M Adams Ad id “This is a substantial number in our region, with 1288 people at real and immediate risk at that point in time.” The highest numbers of people experiencing homelessness in the region on Census night were in Greater Shepparton - 418 people, followed by Wodonga - 215 people, and in Wangaratta - 125 people. “With Census data showing a rise in homelessness across the state and in our region, this highlights the critical need for the government to continue building more social and affordable housing and to continue to adequately fund homelessness services to meet demand,” she said. “Measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 throughout 2021 contributed to some of the changes in the homelessness data, particularly impacting how people experienced homelessness and how they were able to be supported in our region.
pro“With additional dditi l ffunding di vided to our homelessness services by the Victorian Government, we were able to reduce the number people experiencing chronic homelessness and sleeping rough. “We helped more people stay in supported and crisis accommodation such as a motels and caravan parks and kept them safer for longer. “During 2020-21 we provided over 11,100 nights of crisis accommodation, but once funding ceased in 2021-22 our funding could only stretch to just over 6700 nights.” Ms Adams encouraged the state and federal governments to commit to funding the support and pathways to home that have real social impact. “We can continue making inroads to ending homelessness,” Ms Adams said. “Housing ends homelessness. “A safe, secure, affordable home is the foundation of human dignity and opportunity.”
PLANNING is under way for Wangaratta’s new technical school. While a timeframe for construction is expected to be available once funding is allocated in future budgets, the Wangaratta tech school is one of six such schools planned for Victoria which will offer immersive hightech STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) programs to local secondary schools. The Wangaratta school, which is part of a $116 million State Government commitment, will offer taster classes to local students to help them decide which careers they want to pursue. Specialist learning programs will also encourage underrepresented groups, including women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, to pursue jobs of the future in fast-growing STEM industries. Victorian Parliamentary Secretary for Education, Vicki Ward, said the Wangaratta school was “an exciting development that will give young Victorians even more opportunities to develop high-tech STEM skills and find the right career path - taking them from school to industry and beyond”. “With ‘immersion’ classes and specialist learning programs on offer, students have the opportunity to learn skills in high-demand areas, such as clean energy, robotics and advanced manufacturing,” Ms Ward said.
Gas leak near Burke Street contained FRV and CFA firefighters responded to reports of a ruptured gas main leak in the vacinity of Wangaratta’s Burke Street following a call to Triple Zero (000) shortly before midday on Wednesday. Firefighters were on scene in four minutes, with one appliance from FRV and one appliance from CFA attending. Firefighters in breathing apparatus assisted the gas company with crimping of the gas line to stop the leak. The incident was under control at 12.05pm.

THE role of ‘Young Male’ in Six Characters Looking for an Author by Luigi Pirandello in a version by David Harrower is the first performance with the Wangaratta Players for Harrison Kelly, but it won’t be the last. The 13 year old is excited to be learning from experienced local theatre personality Steve Thornycroft, who is directing the show, as well as his other cast members. “It has been amazing and I have already learnt so much from the director, actors and crew,” Harrison said. “They are such a talented group of people, and I’m so lucky to be learning all I can from them.” Harrison has been studying with Julie Nolan at the Wangaratta Studio of Drama for a couple of years and recently played Danny Zuko in a production of Grease. “Playing Danny was an experience I absolutely loved and Julie has taught me so much about acting, plus I’ve made some great friends,” Harrison said. Harrison’s mother (Leanne) saw the Facebook post about Six Characters Looking for an Author and encouraged Harrison to audition. “My mum knows how much I love to perform and she knows Steve personally and said he would be really welcoming to me, being new to the Players, and she
TALENTED: Harrison Kelly is performing in the Wangaratta Players’ upcoming production of Six Characters Looking for an Author. PHOTO: Joanne Pane knew he would teach me a lot because he has had a lot of experience in theatre himself. “I’m so excited to be a part of such a unique show and I love the challenge of playing completely different characters than who I am as a person,” he added. “I can’t wait for Six Characters to open so we can show everyone what we have been working on.” While Harrison’s acting career is only just getting started,
he doesn’t intend for it to end any time soon, and he knows already what his dream role would be. “I have just started drama classes at school so I haven’t done a lot yet but my dream is to be an actor and for it not to be a side gig - I’d really love to be a successful actor one day. “I don’t mind what sort of roles or characters I get to play at the moment, but my favour-
ite plays to watch are musicals and I think I’d really enjoy being involved with musicals at some point. “In fact, my dream role would be to play Alexander Hamilton in Hamilton - it’s my all-time favourite musical. “I watched it on Disney Plus in 2020 and since then I’ve seen it twice, once in Sydney when it first opened and then in Melbourne. “I love the mixture between musical theatre and hip-hop, and I think Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius.” Harrison started watching musicals at the age of four or five, when he saw The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. “When I was seven, Ramin Karimloo, who played the Phantom in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall, sent me a video message for my birthday and I was lucky enough to meet him in Melbourne in 2017. “I really love to entertain people and I want to do it for a long time yet, so come and see what we’ve been working with Six Characters Looking for an Author; it will challenge what you think you know about theatre.” Six Characters Looking for an Author will be held at the Stage Door, 4D Evans Street Wangaratta from April 14 to 23.

GIVE TO A GREAT CAUSE: Wangaratta and district Good Friday Appeal coordinator Alex Carmody said fundraising for the Good Friday Appeal was a year-round affair, but CBD collections in the lead-up to Easter were always generously supported. PHOTO: Kurt Hickling
WANGARATTA is showing its trademark generosity as fundraising ramps up ahead of Easter for this year’s Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Veteran coordinator Alex Carmody, who has been involved in collecting for the appeal since 1959, said tin rattling in the city’s centre had been under way over the past couple of weeks, and locals were as keen
as ever to support the cause. Mr Carmody said local fundraising for the appeal was a year-round affair, and donations had been filling one tin each week while he was stationed at APCO selling community raffle tickets. He said recent collections at Wangaratta’s Coles supermarket had also been well-supported. “Everybody has known somebody somewhere involved with the hospital, and even if they haven’t, they know how
important it is,” he said. For those keen to donate, collections are happening on the corner of Murphy and Reid streets near the Commonwealth Bank on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays leading up to Easter, between 9am and 12 noon. More volunteers are needed to help gather the donations, and anyone able to assist on any of these days is encouraged to contact Alex Carmody on 0428 120 310.

Murphy Street building’s future is still in motion By SIMONE KERWIN
CHANGE: The Rural City of Wangaratta is still working with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) on handing back the current Murphy Street base of the Wangaratta Visitor Information Centre. PHOTO: Simone Kerwin
WITH the Wangaratta Visitor Information Centre set to relocate to the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre next month, council is still working with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) on handing back the VIC’s current Murphy Street base. The visitor information centre is due to move into the Wan-
garatta Performing Arts and Convention Centre (WPACC) in early April, where it will operate in a seven-day-a-week kiosk set to be established near the theatre stairs between the centre’s Ford and Ovens streets entrances. This change will leave vacant the centre’s current home, at 100-104 Murphy Street, which was constructed in 1909 as Wangaratta’s free library and is currently leased
by the Rural City of Wangaratta from DEECA. The building was home for many years to the city’s library, which moved to Ovens Street and Ely Street before relocating to its current position in Docker Street. The visitor information centre’s departure from the location follows the Wangaratta Family History Society’s forced move from the upper floor of the Murphy Street building in
recent years due to safety concerns, after a structural report found the first floor was unsuitable for storing its heavy archives, and raised concerns about evacuation options in the event of fire. The family history society moved to a new home in the current Wangaratta Library in Docker Street in early 2021. It’s yet to be determined what the building will be used for beyond the VIC’s relocation.
Dive into region’s firefighting history A HISTORICAL reflection on fire brigades in the local area is set to officially launch next week, after almost a decade of dedication and research by local firefighters. ‘Make Tankers Ten - A History of the Wangaratta Fire Brigades Group’ delves into the footprint of Country Fire Authority brigades in the North East and describes the development of cooperative firefighting in the community, the subsequent formation of local brigades, and the genesis of the Wangaratta Fire Brigades Group. CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan will join local members to launch the 236-page publication, which conveys a large format, pictorial account of the individual stories of the Wangaratta Group’s 16 brigades and how they intertwine within the community. Wangaratta Group officer Lachlan Gales praised the tireless efforts of authors Neil Brock, Jim Buchan, Graham Colson and David Salau. “This extraordinary publication is the result of years of careful research and diligent process,” he said. “The launch by the CFA chief is a milestone event, not only for Wangaratta district brigades, but for CFA as a unique, statewide organisation. “The story of the evolution of firefighting in regional Victoria described here will be familiar to many CFA members around the state - documenting this now captures a vital part of the social history of our regional communities. “Wherever CFA brigades are established in the community, they invariably bring the shared values, the innovation and the selfless commitment described in Make Tankers Ten.” The official launch will be held at the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre on Wednesday from TELLING OUR HISTORY: ‘Make Tankers Ten - A History of the Wangaratta Fire Brigades Group’ authors (from left) Neil Brock, Graham Colson, 6pm. Jim Buchan and David Salau will officially launch their book on Wednesday. PHOTO: Marc Bongers

Solar company holds drop-in session at Milawa MEADOW Creek Solar Farm Pty Ltd held a ‘drop-in’ session at Milawa yesterday allowing the community to meet and speak directly with members of the project team. Members of the Meadow Creek Agricultural Community Action Group were out in force with feedback sheets for community members who wished to voice their concerns, which must be lodged with the proponent’s application to Victorian Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny. The community action group believe the location for the 566 hectare (1400 acre) proposed solar factory was totally inappropriate for a number of reasons including as it was on highly productive agricultural land, and in a major water catchment area for Wangaratta and other communities. “We were there just to make sure people who attended the sessions heard both sides of the issue including our concerns for the project,” action group committee member John Conroy said. Anyone who was unable to attend the session can email info@ meadowcreeksolarfarm.com.au and a member of the solar farm project team will contact them. For more information on the project visit www.meadowcreeksolarfarm. com.au.

Farmers need guiding lights to realise targets INDUSTRY leaders have joined calls alongside Indi independent federal MP Helen Haines asking for government support for farmers as they reduce emissions and take action on climate change. Dr Haines has developed a plan for a network of 200 agricultural extension officers across 20 locations to support farmers to implement new technologies and practices that reduce emissions, and make decisions about engaging in the carbon market. Following a motion on the plan in the House of Representatives on Monday, Dr Haines was joined by chief executive of the National
Farmers Federation Tony Mahar and chief executive of Farmers for Climate Action Fiona Davis on Wednesday to make the pitch to the government. “We’re absolutely 100 per cent supportive of more measures, more assistance, more support for farmers to actively engage, play their part,” Mr Mahar said. “Farmers and agriculture can be part of the solution, when we’re talking about reducing emissions, being more sustainable, and importantly producing the food and fibre that Australian farmers are renowned worldwide for.” Dr Davis said a survey by Farmers for Climate Action
of more than 600 farmers showed there was a need for Dr Haines’ plan. “Farmers are looking for extension officer support, they need that support to be able to do the emissions reduction that is so important,” she said. “We have a survey of over 600 farmers and the majority of those are not getting the information they need to do the work that they know is important on their farms.” Dr Davis said Farmers for Climate Action was “right behind” Dr Haines’ plan, which “offers the opportunity to invest in extension and invest in that support for farmers”.
As the House of Representatives debates the Safeguard Mechanism Bill, which has a high reliance on offsets created by the agriculture industry, Dr Haines said her plan was the right idea at the right time. “This is an evidencebased approach to a new transition,” Dr Haines said. “In Australian agriculture, it’s a very new space that farmers are operating in. “There’s noise coming from everywhere when it comes to offsetting. “And it’s absolutely incumbent upon the Albanese Government to support our farmers through this transition.”

NAPLAN testing closes, promise of early results By SIMONE KERWIN YEAR three, five, seven and nine students across the Rural City of Wangaratta have now completed their involvement in this year’s NAPLAN (National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy) testing. Changes to the program this year saw the testing held in March (term one) rather than May (term two), and are designed to provide parents with a clearer picture of how their children are performing at school. New proficiency standards with four levels of achievement - ‘exceeding’, ‘strong’, ‘developing’ and ‘needs additional support’ - will replace the previous 10-band structure and the old national minimum standard set in 2008 when tests were conducted on paper. The new standards are aimed at providing a more meaningful measure of how students are progressing at the time of testing, thus making it easier to identify and support students who may be falling behind in numeracy, reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation. Apart from the grade three writing test, this year’s testing was conducted exclusively online, following a staged rollout over recent years. Wangaratta West Primary School principal Kristy Mull-
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE NEEDED: Police have called for public assistance to identify a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries into an armed robbery at Rutherglen on the weekend.
Police investigate Rutherglen armed robbery
ALL DONE: Wangaratta West Primary School grade three students (back) Sam Calvene, Anna Graham, (front) Piper Matthews, Zion Solomua, Laura Hogan and Xavier Rondinella relax and chat with principal Kristy Mullins after completing their final NAPLAN test, maths, on Monday. PHOTO: Simone Kerwin ins said she liked the premise of the NAPLAN changes - particularly the earlier return of results, which enabled them to be utilised to a greater extent. “The results used to come three-quarters of the way through the year, making it difficult to act upon the information received before the end of the school year,” Mrs Mullins said. “The earlier test dates mean that we will receive the results mid-year, giving us time to ana-
lyse the data for individual students as well as cohorts, and plan accordingly to target the specific future learning needs of our students. “Also, I think the reduction from 10 bands to four will make it much easier for parents to understand the results.” Mrs Mullins said NAPLAN was not only a great way to highlight the skills and knowledge of individual students, but also to measure the effect of improvement ini-
tiatives implemented at the school. “We are continually refining our practices at a whole school level, so NAPLAN provides a great way to track the effect of strategies implemented,” she said. “The data allows us to measure our performance not only against previous results but also against the performance of similar schools, our network of schools and the state, giving us a clear picture of how our school is tracking over time.”
A MAN alleged to have orchestrated an armed robbery at a Rutherglen service station at the weekend remains on the loose. Wodonga Crime Investigation Unit detectives have called for public assistance to locate the man, who is alleged to have entered a Main Street service station around 8.50pm on Saturday armed with an iron bar. It’s alleged he threatened the attendant and forced him to hand over cash and cigarettes before running from the store. Video footage of the alleged incident depicts a man donning blue Adidas sweatpants and a dark Tommy Hilfiger branded hoodie entering the store with a blue-coloured bar, before running from the scene holding a green bag surrendered by the store attendant. The offender was last seen headed north towards Douglas Street. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Time to act on homelessness issue HOMELESSNESS is a real issue which local, state and national stakeholders need to work faster to address, as rates continue to worsen throughout regional Victoria. The alarm bells have been ringing across North East Victoria for years, compounded by a recent rental crisis and the spike in the cost of living. Across the state, homelessness rose by almost 25 per cent between the 2016 and 2021 censuses, a figure which, as today’s page three story details, is paled by Wangaratta’s own increase of 67 per cent during the same time frame. There’s been a dire need for emergency spending and assistance during that time, assistance which, at least to this point, has failed to stem the tide. Organisations such as BeyondHousing have provided a valiant service despite limited resourcing, with a shrunken pool of accommodation options and a truncated workforce managing record demand over several years. Having these support networks in place is a valuable step, but a dearth of resourcing severely limits their ability to create meaningful change in the community. Other initiatives, such as the Wangaratta Night Shelter, have seen volunteers band together to offer intermittent support throughout the more challenging winter months, providing a warm place to sleep and valuable company to those facing tremendous hardship. But more needs to be done, with 125 locals classified as homeless in recent data. The quicker additional social housing can be erected in the region, the better outcomes for large portions of the community. The region just needs the support to do so.

Solar panels bring far more benefits than not PHILLIP Servaes wrote with concern about government assistance for solar panels (Wangaratta Chronicle letters, Friday, March 1). Specifically, the biodegradability of solar panels at the end of their life, their ability to fully replace fossil fuels, and the aesthetic values of solar panels and wind turbines. Solar panels start quartzite rock, which is processed into a silicon crystal (monocrystalline). This is sliced into wafers, coated and prepared with electrical contacts to produce a solar cell. The cell has glass for the covering, aluminium for the framing and copper for the wiring, as well as rubbers and plastics to complete the kit. There is also supporting hardware like DC to AC inverters. What does a solar panel’s lifecycle look like? First the quartzite is mined and refined into silicon, then processed to make a silicon cell. Components are assembled and shipped in bulk around the world. The products are purchased and installed in homes where they begin to pay back the energy used in their production. At the end of their lives, some components may be recycled, negating any energy used in the initial gathering, and others scrapped. Full details about the long-term effects of disposing of all of the components aren’t yet available, since this is still a fairly recent technology and the rated lifetime for most residential systems is between 25 and 30 years. The expected impact is fairly small because most of the constituent materials are either recyclable, or essentially composed of rock and sand Source: https://build.com.au. Renewable energy replacing fossil fuels Australia has a comparative advantage in the production of renewable energy, and globally significant reserves of metal ores and critical minerals. Our economy is well-placed to thrive as global demand for low and zero carbon commodities booms with the right policy settings. Moving to a zero emissions future in Australia will see the phase out of fossil fuel extraction and production, the decarbonisation of many existing industries such as steel and cement, and the rapid scaling up of new industries like critical minerals, renewable hydrogen, green ammonia and metal production.

Expanding response network
Local SES unit highlights g g importance of cross-service collaboration
By RYAN MALCOLM BROADENING networks between local emergency service crews and the wider community has been a key focus in recent months, according to Wangaratta SES unit controller Jess Zuber. Crews donned their distinctive orange uniforms at a number of events across the region in the last fortnight, showcasing their tools for interested onlookers at CFA District 23’s CFA running championships in Springhurst and at Wangaratta’s recent All GM motorshow. With members also set to provide important safety information at tomorrow’s North East Multicultural Association Harmony Day in Wangaratta, as well as assist CFA in collecting for the Good Friday Appeal, Ms Zuber said visibility had been a key focus for the unit. “One of our values at VICSES is that we are part of the
community, so we’re trying to be really proactive not only in these last two weeks but we’ve got a fair bit coming up as well,” she said. “We are being really proactive at the moment in getting into the community.” Ms Zuber said crews had taken their domestic rescue kit to the CFA running championships, and taught CFA members how to assist in small entrapment responses, such as removing a ring from a finger in a medical emergency. “It really builds networks and it cross-skills us both to be able to respond,” she said. “(The CFA championships) was really multiagency and I think that’s something that we’re all striving to do - we do see a lot of crossover, particularly with house fires and car accidents and these sorts of things where (both SES and
SHOWCASING SKILLS: SES Wangaratta unit members executed a road crash rescue demonstration on a Ford Mondeo wagon at last week’s All GM day, as part of continued efforts to improve visibility in the community. PHOTO: Wangaratta SES CFA) are involved, doing different tasks but still there. “With the floods, CFA were really helpful - we were able to use their skills and we were able to train CFA
volunteers to help us out - so we’re collaborating a lot better and upskilling. “I think I speak for a lot of volunteer organisations when I say we’re struggling
for numbers, so to have extra resources that we can call on which are trained and ready to go, it just makes our jobs so much easier and more efficient.”
At this month’s All GM day at Apex Park, crews spent 45 minutes showcasing their road crash rescue skills, as they removed the doors and roof of a vehicle to simulate rescuing a passenger trapped in the driver’s seat who had suffered a spinal injury. “SES has been involved in the All GM day since before COVID, so it was really great to go back and it was great to see so many car enthusiasts but also the other side of that as well,” Ms Zuber said. “People got to see that when we do arrive at road crash rescues, we can’t magically cut people out of the car in five minutes, it actually takes a fair bit of time. “People love watching our tools, and we had a very nice request if we could please cut up a Ford, which we obliged with willingly and turned it into a convertible for them.”
Help support Dignity Drive COMMUNITY members can this month donate sanitary items for women experiencing hardship as part of Share the Dignity’s March Dignity Drive. Flexout Health is supporting the drive locally by providing collection boxes, including one at the Allied Health Hub in Wangaratta. Flexout Health physiotherapists Kiera Frey and Sarah Lamb helped initiate the local push, with collection boxes also at Flexout’s Albury, Wodonga and Myrtleford clinics. “We know all to well that there are women in our community who are forced to choose between buying food to
eat or buying expensive sanitary items to get through their periods,” Ms Frey said. “Share the Dignity struck a chord with our women’s health team here at Flexout, and we knew we had a good opportunity to spread the word and make a real difference for the at-risk women and children in our community”. With the help of collection points such as those provided by Flexout Health, Share the Dignity hopes to build on the more than 200,000 packets of pads collected in March in 2022, and some 3.8 million period products since its beginning, to provide much needed support to
all vulnerable women and girls in the community. Ms Frey, who has been a physiotherapist at Flexout Health for more than three years, said the national goal this year was to collect 500,000 period products as part of the March and August dignity drives. “We are really hopeful that we get plenty of reach and Flexout can make a significant contribution towards that goal,” she said. Individuals can also donate donate sealed packets of pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period undies or incontinence aids at Woolworths stores nationally.

Greta preparing annual ANZAC service
EV charging station to do wonders for environment WANGARATTA Landcare and Sustainability (WLS) have applauded Rural City of Wangaratta council efforts to deliver an electric vehicle charging station on Docker Street. Group president Russell Sully said it’s a tangible, local step in the transition to zero emissions vehicles and embracing renewable energy to reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. “Wangaratta emitted 638,000 tones of greenhouse gas in 2019/20 and 19 per cent came from automobiles,” he said. “Zero emissions electric vehicles have to be part of our local action. “EV charging stations help reduce range anxiety for motorists and will help more people move to EVs. “The goal is to recharge electric vehicles from renewable electricity.” Mr Sully said 41 per cent, or 259,000 tonne of our greenhouse gas, was from electricity generation. He said this is why we need to electrify everything; produce and use our home-grown solar renewable energy generated from rooftop solar panels. “Individual or community batteries to store renewable energy produced by rooftop solar panels will become an important part of our drive towards Totally Renewable, Self-sufficient Zero Emissions Wangaratta,” Mr Sully said. “Producing and using home grown electricity will dramatically
GRETA will again hold its annual ANZAC service this year at the Greta Cemetery. Arranged by the Greta Cemetery Trust, Greta Hansonville Hall and Greta Valley Primary School, the event will be held on Monday, April 24. Those attending are asked to arrive at 9.45am for a 10am start. The day will feature a flag-raising, followed by Greta Valley students placing poppies and flags on veterans’ graves. The students are currently researching the stories of veterans who are buried at the cemetery. There will be an opportunity for attendees to lay wreaths or flowers, and light refreshments will follow at Greta Hansonville Hall. All are welcome to attend, and honours and awards may be worn on the day. RSVP is essential by April 21 for attendance and catering purposes.

solar panels on houses,” he said. “Our concern is that many households cannot afford the upfront cost of solar panels. “The rising cost of energy from the grid may create greater inequity within our community.” Mr Sully said emissions reduction and adaptation to living in a warmer climate is a classic case of thinking globally and acting locally. “Every little bit we can do as indi-
viduals, households and businesses can make a positive difference for our future,” he said. “WLS is currently in discussions with a number of organisations including Indigo Power to expand the uptake of solar panels and batteries across the municipality.” Mr Sully said they look forward to further discussions on what is possible with local individuals, business and organisations.

National Ride2School Day celebrated this week By ANITA McPHERSON
A HEALTHY snack awaited students who chose to ride, scoot or skate to St Bernard’s Primary School as part of its Ride2School celebrations yesterday. This week more than 350,000 students across the nation are expected to ride, walk, scoot and skate to school on National Ride2School Day, which is officially marked today. St Bernard’s Primary School principal Gerard Nolan said every child who actively travelled to school went into the draw to win a water bottle, donated by the RoadSafe North East, which has been providing a bicycle education course at the school all this week. Mr Nolan said while the hot weather can sometimes prove challenging for those students who like to ride to and from school, once March rolls around, the school’s bike rack is overflowing. “We can have 50 or 60 bikes in the racks from March onwards, until it gets really cold in winter, and then they start riding again in spring,” he said. “On Ride2School day we can have 120 bikes in the school ground which is amazing and a sight to behold - and I think it’s because we have such terrific access to bike tracks here.” Mr Nolan said with the help of RoadSafe North East the school

He said it was a fundamental component of the school’s philosophy to have healthy and active children and part of that is the way they travel to school and getting active early - whether it’s
by walking, riding or scooting. “We’re happy to promote a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating too - to encourage a healthy mind, body and spirit,” he said. Bicycle Network chief executive officer Alison McCormack said riding to school can actually help students perform better in the classroom. She said students who actively

National Ride2School Day in 2022 saw 911 schools participate, including 307 schools for the first time, pushing the total number to a record 370,000 students.

Lovell calls for review of regional roads maintenance LIBERAL MP for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell, has continued her campaign for better regional roads by calling on the State Government to ensure the road maintenance program delivers workmanship of the highest standard. Speaking during an adjournment debate in State Parliament, Ms Lovell said there was evidence that the current repairs being completed to Victoria’s damaged roads were of poor quality and called on Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Melissa Horne, to order a review of the current maintenance program. Ms Lovell said there were many examples of road repairs lasting only a few hours, especially with the use of premix breaking up as soon as a large vehicle drives over it. She said she was recently contacted by a constituent experienced in road construction expressing concerns about the standard of the work being carried out to repair damaged roads and informing that most work sites do not even use the correct equipment to ensure the repairs are of a high standard. Ms Lovell said only a review of the current maintenance program will ensure dangerous roads are repaired properly. “The practice of not properly repairing damaged roads results in regional Victorian roads remaining dangerous for prolonged periods and I call on the minister to order a review of the current road maintenance program,” she said.

Meeting public need By CHLOE JAENICKE THE Wangaratta Kennel and Obedience Dog Club (WK&ODC) will officially open its All Abilities Access Toilet Project tomorrow. The project enhances the club’s facilities at the Wangaratta Showgrounds, and delivers on a public need identified after the 2020 bushfires. WK&ODC president Kevin Felmingham said the club’s facilities were used as part of an emergency evacuation centre at the showgrounds to cater for Alpine Shire residents forced to leave their homes because of the threat posed the by the fires. “We catered for 300 breakfasts every morning for 16 days,” said Mr Felmingham, noting the absence, however, of any all-abilities toilets in the immediate vicinity. The club, with the support of council and upper house MP Jaclyn Symes, successfully applied to Bushfire Recovery Victoria (BRV) for a grant of $50,000 towards the toilet block. The club also put in $42,000 itself as well as 1500 hours of work. Mr Felmingham said the toilets took around eight months to build and they aren’t just for the club use. “We have other user groups that use our grounds...we work with Lions club that hires our grounds so the toilets are used for that as well,” he said. “The toilets are very comfortable and if people need to get changed there’s enough room to do that and all those sorts of things.” As well as the new toilets, the WK&ODC plans on upgrading its clubrooms so it can have more space not only for itself, but also to assist the community. “When our new building comes here it will be another building that community groups can use as well,” Mr Felmingham said. “It’s about us working within the community and assisting the community where we can.” Rural City of Wangaratta Mayor Dean Rees will officiate the March 25 opening.

Look out for low flying Cessna in the sky today IF you look skywards in the Wangaratta district today you might see some unusually low flying aircraft, but don’t be alarmed. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) will be carrying out important flight path safety checks to make sure instrument procedure flight paths at various aerodromes operate safely. CASA regulations require that the approach procedures are checked every three years to confirm their ongoing safety. A twin-engine Cessna Conquest will be used to carry out the safety checks within an area up to 40km from the Wangaratta aerodrome. Low-level flying is an essential part of the safety exercise, with the aircraft down as low as several hundred feet at times. Local residents may notice an uncommon flying pattern, but this is to make sure obstacles are accurately marked on charts and no new obstacles exist. Obstacles can be towers, trees, masts or buildings that can be a danger to aircraft. If poor weather or other factors do not allow the safety checks to go ahead on the planned days, they will be carried out as soon as possible. CASA has contracted the operation of the special check flights to Corporate Air, one of Australia’s largest and longest established aviation services providers.

10 years ago
Rain brings relief to desperate farmers across the region Friday, March 22, 2013 By STEVE KELLY AN autumn break has come with more than an inch of rain recorded across the district over the past two days. The belated break started on Wednesday night and has croppers gearing up to sow pasture after the sixth worst two-season (spring/summer) dry spell in history. There have only been four rain days since December 21 and the recent rain equalled that threemonth accumulative total. Some 23.6mm was recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) until noon yesterday with higher
totals being recorded across the district. Bob Falconer at Moyhu got 32mm until noon yesterday, which will set up for the planting of oats across 20 acres. Mick Griffin at Lake Rowan got 20mm and he said it has put him in a similar position after 36mm rainfall at his farm late last month. Prices at the Wangaratta fat cattle sale yesterday were also healthy for the better cattle. Stock agent Peter Dargan said the top end of cattle were “very good” with one lot of vealers getting 238 cents/kg. “We haven’t seen that for a while, but this was due to the great condition of the cattle, not so much
restored confidence,” he said. “Steers were getting 180 cents/ kg and the plainer end of the market remained low in price.” Farmer confidence from the rain is expected to flow onto the saleyards in two weeks’ time, but Mr Dargan said this would translate into a lesser yarding. “It was getting pretty desperate with the lack of rain and although the break came a couple of weeks late, it’s still alright,” he said. BOM has forecast minimal rain for today, with another lot expected next Wednesday. Its forecast for April to June though is looking bleak with a 60-65 per cent chance of rainfall being below normal.

NORTH EAST NATURALLY HOME BUILDER: One young male Satin Bowerbird displays using a plastic bottle top while another watches on. PHOTO: Chris Tzaros (Birds Bush and Beyond)
Satin Bowerbird - true blue performer By IAN DAVIDSON and CHRIS TZAROS RENOWNED for their amazing courtship displays, bowerbirds are a group of medium-sized stocky birds restricted to Australia and Papua New Guinea. The only species occurring in Victoria is the Satin Bowerbird, so called for the striking purple-blue sheen of the adult male’s plumage. It takes on average three to four years for males to attain full satin blue colouration, before which they resemble females having mostly dull green plumage with distinctive chevron patterns down their underparts. Both sexes have a gleaming
lilac-blue eye, which tends to stand out more on green plumaged (female or young male) birds. Most species of bowerbirds build elaborate ‘bowers’ - neat structures of small sticks carefully arranged either as avenues or platforms and decorated with objects such as moss, lichen, flower petals, stones and shells. The Satin Bowerbird uses only blue ornaments to decorate its
bower and has become accustomed to using human-made objects such as milk bottle tops, pen lids and wire, as well as natural blue objects such as rosella tail feathers and native flowers. Males construct bowers as part of their courtship ritual to attract a female. Once a male has built and decorated his bower, he performs in this arena by dancing and giving an incredible sequence of calls, including mimicry of other birds calls, in order to attract the attention of any females passing by. If a female is impressed, the pair mate in the bower. The female then leaves and builds
a separate nest structure in a tree or shrub far away, where eggs are laid and incubated during spring. Males may mate with many different females in any given breeding season. Satin Bowerbirds are uncommon in the Wangaratta area, being more common in the ranges and further south. However, during the nonbreeding period, flocks of mostly young green plumaged birds wander away from their usual haunts, occurring in places such as Wangaratta, Beechworth and Chiltern. Here, they mainly occur around gardens and orchards where fruit
forms a large part of their diet. They also consume plant shoots and variety of insects taken from the ground and amongst vegetation. Come the onset of spring, birds typically move back to the ranges for the spring-summer breeding period. Recently, a small group of young male Satin Bowerbirds has made an appearance in the Warby Ranges, inspiring this article. It appears that one dominant male has built and tends to the bower, however other birds have been observed sneaking in to reposition blue ornaments and practice their own courtship antics - nature’s performers at their finest.

Film screening for Harmony Week in Benalla
FAMILY STORY: A still from the film, Journ Journey Beyond Fear, which will be Gallery. screened on Sunday at Benalla Art Gallery
A FILM screening of the remarkable documentary ‘Journey Beyond Fear’ will be held at the Benalla Art Gallery this Sunday to coincide with Harmony Week. The full length feature documentary is the work of local filmmaker, Robyn Hughan, and was described by leading Australian film critic David Stratton as “an excellent documentary and a genuinely moving experience”. Filmed over seven years, Journey Beyond Fear is an emotional rollercoaster - a character driven film featuring three magnetic daughters - which focuses on the experience of those who join the queue to resettle in Australia, making it clear that this is no easy option. The film shatters prevailing stereotypes and highlights that becoming part of Australian society without losing one’s cultural identity is achievable. Further to this, Journey Beyond
Fear draws attention to the fact that only one per cent of refugees registered with the UN are ever resettled. The film has been made with deep passion and commitment to the subject matter - the narrative lyrical and the visuals are strong - speaking volumes about the family’s situation. Of the process to create the film, Ms Hughan explained she began working on the project in 2011 after a screening of her documentary, A Nun’s New Habit, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She was asked by an NGO if she would like to visit the Afghan refugees on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, where she was touched by the community, their plight and desperation for re-settlement to another country. “Following extensive research and several visits, I decided to proceed with my quest to make a film following their stories,” she said.
“I began filming and initially had an Iranian/Australian director of photography join me for two weeks this was the beginning of my journey to document the stories of these Afghan refugees. “I then decided to continue to film with these people myself, sometimes along with my partner, Steve Warne. “Over time, I was drawn to one family in particular, and eventually over the years, I realised that the magnetic appeal of this family was so strong that they became my main story line.” The screening will be immediately followed by a Q&A with Robyn Hughan and co-producer Steve Warne, facilitated by Bill Sykes. Journey Beyond Fear will be screened on Sunday at 6pm in the Ledger Gallery and numbers are strictly limited, with entry cost including a drink on arrival. Register by emailing the gallery on gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au.
New Kids On The Block exhibition WANGARATTA Art Gallery provided a professional development opportunity which culminated in an exhibition celebrating the achievements of up and coming local creatives.

Virtuoso to honour Celtic heritage By RYAN MALCOLM THE technically impressive tones of fingerstyle guitar are set to ring out from Beechworth’s Hotel Nicholas in the coming weeks, with famed Scottish musician Tony McManus to perform in the North East for the first time. Hailed as one of the “50 transcendental guitarists of all time” by Guitar Player Magazine, the Celtic maestro will take to the stage in Beechworth on April 1, showcasing his talents as part of a lineup which will also include Beechworthbased teen musician Maya Humphreys.
Renowned for his expertise in performing complex fingerstyle voicings of traditional bagpipe or fiddle music either solo or with friends, Mr McManus, who now resides in Canada, has further strengthened his credentials by showcasing a wide variety of genres, including bluegrass and classical. Hotel Nicholas owner Lorraine Lucas said she hoped the upcoming performance would whet the region’s appetite for the return of the town’s revamped Celtic Festival later this year. “(Mr McManus) hasn’t played in the region before he came out a few years ago
and played at Woodford Folk Festival (In Queensland),” she said. “He’s being brought here by William Hutton, who’s the lead singer and performer with an (Australian-based) Celtic band called Claymore. “Prior to COVID we hosted a number of overseas entertainers, particularly from Ireland and Scotland as they liked to come to Beechworth because of its strong Celtic roots and historic landscape. “We do get a lot of performers of that sort of genre and they’re usually very well received. “We’re really excited about it and we hope that it will also be a precursor for
this year’s Celtic Festival.” Mr McManus’s performance will commence from 9.15pm, to be precluded by Beechworth teenager Maya Humphreys. Hailing from a musical home as the daughter of Kissin’ Cousins band members Troy and Rebecca, Maya will showcase her own musical nous as part of a 30-minute set beginning at 8.30pm. “Maya has her own repertoire, and she’s also performing at the Golden Horseshoes Festival,” Ms Lucas said. To purchase tickets, contact the Hotel Nicholas on +61 3 5728 1051 or email info@hotelnicholas.com.au.

ORDER of Australia recipients from across the region will gather in Benalla this Sunday to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the North East Goulburn Valley Order of Australia Group. More than 90 members and guests of the NEGV group are expected to gather for the luncheon. Guest speakers will be Milawa’s John Brown AO (the son of John Brown AM) and Pam Robinson AM. The NEGV group was established in May 1993 as part of the Victorian branch of the Association. Sir Zelman Cowan, a former Governor General and president of the association was guest speaker at the inaugural meeting, where John Brown (snr) AM (Milawa) was elected chairman, and the committee members were John Sleigh OAM (Nagambie), Margot Ballard OAM (Wangaratta), Brian Jasper OAM (Rutherglen) and Kevin Riordan OAM (Shepparton). The region covered by the group includes 12 local government municipalities of the North East and the Goulburn Valley, with an estimated 600 locals having received Order of Australia awards either on Australia Day or the Queen's Birthday since the group’s formation. NEGV group chair Barbara Thomas OAM - whose father Dr Frederick Roy Phillips OAM was an inaugural member of the group - said the group looks forward to continuing to ensure as many worthy citizens of the region as possible are nominated for awards within the Order of Australia. “It is not too difficult to nominate someone,” Ms Thomas said. “Just log onto the website www.gg.gov. au and take it from there.”

Fantastic community event
By BELINDA HARRISON
MORE than 3000 people flocked to the Wangaratta Showgrounds to take part in last Sunday’s Wangaratta Chronicle Marathon and Fun Run, presented by Garry Nash & Co. Real Estate events and to cheer on family members and friends. North East Media CEO Edward Higgins was on hand to present winners with their prizes and said it was great to see so many locals taking part, along with statewide and interstate competitors. “Overall it was a fantastic day with more than 1000 participants coming together to take part in this community event,” Mr Higgins said. “I would like to thank the participants in all the events as well as their supporters who created an amazing atmosphere on the day. “I would also like to thank all our volunteers and in particular our cyclists, the Wangaratta and Glenrowan Lions Club, Wangaratta Kennel and Obedience Dog Club, course managers Ken and Kevin from Geelong Cross Country Club, Moo’s Brews, Girl Guides Wangaratta and 1st Yarrunga Scout Group. “A special thanks also to our event partner Garry Nash and Co Real Estate, our event name sponsors RJ Sanderson, Wangaratta Benalla Motor Group and Wangaratta Engineering, prize sponsors Brown Brothers and The Athlete’s Foot, Nu Fruit, Alpine Timing, Wangaratta Trophy and En-
gravers and the Rural City of Wangaratta for their ongoing support, and members of the Wangaratta Chronicle staff who organised the event and volunteered their time in numerous ways to help make the day a success. “The commitment from all of these individuals and businesses to this community event is really appreciated and without their support there is no way we could put on an event of this calibre.” Participation across the board was up more than 50 per cent on last year which Mr Higgins said he believed reflects the fact that people are now more confident getting out and about post-COVID. “This is a great sign for events taking place across the North East,” he said. “As well as all the local participants it was great to have so many runners and supporters from out of town visiting Wangaratta and helping to support the local economy.” Garry Nash agreed and said it was good to see the number of entrants getting back up to pre-COVID numbers. “We are starting to see a lot of faces and teams who previously competed returning to the event and they have such gratitude that it was able to keep going (though on hiatus) through the tough last couple of years,” Mr Nash said. “We spoke to runners from Wagga, Sydney, Canberra and Corowa who were all very complimentary to
what was put together this year and many of them took the opportunity to remain in town in our motels and caravan parks Sunday night as well. “We have seen a change this year in people taking more time out to enjoy what the Rural City of Wangaratta has to offer and staying and eating locally and longer.” Mr Nash said that the number of people in attendance was pleasing given all the other activities being held locally on the weekend. “There were cricket finals, the Black Dog ride, a large running event in Melbourne, the Benalla Air Show and more so when you put it into perspective, it really was a major and successful event,” he said. “It was also gratifying to see the number of schools supporting their young kids to get out and be active. “It’s fantastic that they have created an opportunity to encourage those who may not be built to be great athletes (and not everyone is) to grow in confidence and realise that they can get involved in this event. “From a health point of view, getting people mobile is the aim for the Marathon and Fun Run and we are proud to be involved.” All photos from the 2023 event are available to order via www.wangarattachronicle.com.au/photo-sales or from the Wangaratta Chronicle office at 37 Rowan Street. The 2024 event will be held on Sunday, March 17.

Small school takes out the big prize By BELINDA HARRISON MILAWA Primary School are the winners of the 2023 Wangaratta Chronicle Marathon and Fun Run 2km Primary School Challenge. Sponsored by RJ Sanderson and Associates, the school will receive $1000 and have the honour and excitement of displaying the perpetual trophy for the next 12 months. Milawa Primary School Principal Bron Wright said she was blown away by how many of their students and families chose to go out on a Sunday and have a run together - and in doing so, contributed to the benefit of their whole school. “I’m so proud of our learners, for the way they love being active, having a go, and trying challenging things,” she added. “There’s so much to be said for the benefits of outdoor movement on both our physical and mental wellness - and then to throw in doing this with your community both school and the wider Wangaratta area, it’s amazing for our sense of belonging and connectedness. “We’re excited to be back on the winner’s podium; we’re such a fantastic little school, full of opportunity, with much to celebrate. Students Jack Conroy (10)

Before receiving the perpetual trophy at the school on Wednesday morning, Jack Conroy spoke to the gathered school community and representatives from RJ
Sanderson and the Wangaratta Chronicle. “We would like to thank RJ Sanderson and the Wangaratta Chronicle for their sponsorship and organisation of the event,” he said. “And a huge thank you to all of the kids and families from Milawa Primary School who competed in this event and helped us win the 2km Primary School challenge event.”
In addition to the families, sports teacher Kaye O’Kane and school sponsor Meyer Mechanical Services were also instrumental in getting the whole school on board and a large number of participants to the event on the day. Justin Timms and Cath Ward from event sponsor RJ Sanderson & Associates Pty Ltd presented the trophy to the students on Wednesday,
with Justin saying that it was a privilege for their team to once again be part of the Wangaratta Marathon & Fun Run and encourage children to participate in the event by sponsoring the 2km Primary School Challenge. “It was great to award Milawa Primary School as this year’s winner of the Primary School Challenge - it’s such a fantastic achievement,” Mr Timms said.
“Congratulations also to the Wangaratta Chronicle and Garry Nash & Co. Real Estate for preparing such a wonderful day; it was great to see the large number of competitors across the various events. “It not only encourages locals to be active, but brings many visitors to the area. “Some of our staff, family and friends also help out on the day at the drink station in Cusack Street, including Ken and Marg who have been doing it for 10 years and now have it down to a fine art, so we thank them for helping out every year as well.” Bron Wright said that the school is in a ‘brainstorming phase’ at the moment about what they will use their prize money for. “We’re going to give our students an authentic chance to test their persuasive writing skills and give them some agency around how we spend the money,” Mrs Wright said. “Some early ideas include an Indigenous bush tucker garden, a new oven for our breakfast club and cooking classes or perhaps a whole school experience such as an excursion to see the MCG and some great sports in action.” Once a decision has been made, the school will make an announcement through their usual channels.

Team Essex make it back to back wins
By BELINDA HARRISON
FOR the second year in a row, Team Essex have taken out the Community Team perpetual trophy and cash prize sponsored by Merriwa Industries. With a total of 396.1 points, they edged out Old Faithfulls Brew Bar who accumulated 369.9 points and Centre Against Violence with 200 points. The family have been participating in the event for many number of years and
running or walking and having fun together has been part of their history with matriarch Colleen Essex’s brother Erwell Rea winner of the inaugural Chronicle Fun Run back in 1983 and again in 1987. Colleen said it was lovely to win the Community Team achievement again this year but it was even better having all the family getting together and enjoying the day. “My sister in law was here for the weekend and we all went out for dinner on Sat-

Community Teams event. “The event provides such a great social connection and opportunity for our community to be active in a fun and safe environment,” she said. “Congratulations to Team Essex on winning the Community Team event for the second year in a row, what an amazing effort, well done.” Jo said it was fantastic to see so many people involved, supporting each other and achieving their goals and
that their own team at Merriwa were excited to be participating and had a great time walking together. “We are so fortunate to have an event of this calibre in our community and the setting on the Ovens River is just beautiful,” Jo added. “Thank you to the team at the Chronicle and Garry Nash & Co, volunteers and those involved in bringing this event together, it has been a pleasure to be a part of and we look forward to being involved again in 2024.”

Age no barrier for John’s marathon effort By JEFF ZEUSCHNER JOHN Nuttall lives and breathes running. The 71 year old Townsville resident was the oldest competitor in last Sunday’s Wangaratta Chronicle Marathon, completing the 42.195km distance in a time of 3:51:18, placing him 31st in the field of 57 runners. It was the first time John had run the marathon at Wangaratta, but it certainly won’t be the last. “I loved the course...fairly flat, very scenic and around three quarters of it is in shade which was terrific,” he enthused. “The fact it is free of (vehicular) traffic is excellent, and I must say that the vol-
unteers were tremendous. “I’ll definitely be back. “I’ve actually run a fair bit here before....I competed in several of the Kelly Chase events (50km and 100km) organised by Justin and Sharon Scholz (founders of the Wangaratta Marathon).” John says running is his “healthy addiction”. “If I hadn’t have taken up running I would be dead by now,” he said. “I used to be a heavy drinker, but started running when I was around 43 years old and it has saved my life.” Running 5km and 10km events, John graduated to the half marathon and then did a marathon in his second year. He ran it in around two
hours 50 minutes - a time which would’ve placed him on the podium at the past two runnings of the Wangaratta Chronicle Marathon. “I just love running...the freedom, space and the camaraderie among runners,” John said. “I really enjoy the challenges of ultramarathons.” In fact, John will compete in the Sri Chinmoy 48hr Ultramarathon event in Canberra tomorrow. “I’m doing the six hour event and want to set a new Australian record for my age group,” he said. “The record is 61.7km but I’m hoping to run 62km. “I’s love to be able to keep on running for another 20 years.”

Hops harvest on schedule throughtout Ovens Valley By LEAH ANDERSON-BYRNE DESPITE cooler temperatures, local hops were able to complete all farm activity on schedule this year. Ovens-based Hops Products Australia (HPA) farm advisor Allan Monshing said the team experienced “another typical La Nina weather pattern this growing season”. “This year we’ll harvest 554 hectares, which should yield around 1450 tonnes of high-quality Aussie hops that will be used by a growing number of local and international brewers,” he said. “We’ve employed more than 245 casuals to help with the Vic-
torian hop harvest. “The return of overseas backpackers has been a relief, leading to a good supply of seasonal workers. “Each harvest, we pick hops straight from the vine and send them to local brewers who make fresh hop beers. “This year we’re proud sponsors of The High Country Hop, a festival by our friends at Bridge Road Brewers, that celebrates the Aussie hop harvest by showcasing the flavours of our growing region. “Fresh hop beers are a once-ayear thing, so when you get the chance to brew or drink one, you should take it.”

24/7 police presence raised
By RYAN MALCOLM
LOCAL stakeholders will revisit a proposed 24/7 police presence in Beechworth later this year, following an outpouring of concern from local residents this month. Indigo Shire Mayor Sophie Price said the prospect of implementing an all-hours response at one of the shire’s towns had been the subject of discussion in recent months, and would be addressed again at a May meet-
ing between local agencies and police. Beechworth residents flocked to the Beechworth Community Facebook page this month, after police were required to travel from Wodonga to respond to an alleged assault in the Beechworth township. Concerned locals noted police had been helpful, but that the alleged perpetrator had left the scene well before police arrived from the border. Ms Price said the ‘police
local safety committee’ had been running for 12 months, and saw shire representatives meet with police, Parks Victoria, local health services and other stakeholders on a quarterly basis to discuss police resourcing across the shire. “I had noted that discussion on Facebook and immediately thought the first point of call should be to raise that at our next meeting in May,” she said. “We think we’ve got a good level of resourcing in Indigo

Shire - the police don’t want to advertise when they’re not going to be at those stations and don’t want to focus on when they might not have a presence. “Beechworth in particular has a really great staff which are really well entrenched in the community and that was reflected in the Facebook commentary.” Wangaratta, Wodonga, and Benalla are currently the only towns in the North East with 24/7 police stations. Ms Price said it was impor-
tant the committee discussed how best to provide comprehensive resourcing, particularly during busy tourism periods. “That doesn’t mean we wouldn’t advocate and ask the question to (police) about what it would look like if there could be a 24/7 resource for Beechworth, but we have previously had some discussions about what an increase in resourcing would look like for any particular town and the answer has been that there would have to
be a reduction of a resource for another town,” she said. “It’s always a delicate balance - we will absolutely have the discussion with them but they will always give us a very measured response, and we can just talk about some of those really tricky times like long weekends where we might need to talk about and be more dynamic with the police presence. “They’re (police) up for the discussion - we have a great relationship with them and we could easily do that.”

Site prepped for $10m college construction By BRODIE EVERIST WORK has begun on Myrtleford P-12 College’s three new buildings, with the sites being prepared over the last three weeks. Principal Zlatko Pear said he was impressed with the progress and speed of the work so far. “It’s moving along really quickly,” he said. He said the buildings are due to be completed in October or November, with the construction company confident they will meet the deadline. “The way they’re humming along at the moment, it wouldn’t surprise me,” he said. “The flow of students and teachers has been a little bit interrupted, but the reality is, it’s not too bad.” Mr Pear said the school’s
current administration building will be upgraded into an arts and music area after the construction of the new administration building is completed. The $10.87m development, funded by the State Government, will include a new indoor sports centre, along with a new prep to year two building and office/administration building. Vice principal Adam Lindsay said the prep to year two space is designed to be more conducive to learning, with the six individual classrooms able to be combined into a larger space, while the administration building will feature more meeting spaces, and while the gymnasium will allow them to have whole-of-school meetings like assemblies and school

including the arborist, surveyors, and local bus driver Chris Bonacci, who has been helping drive
some of the trucks. “Kids are really excited, asking the builder’s lots of questions,” he said.
Porepunkah Primary set to celebrate 150 anniversary tomorrow POREPUNKAH Primary School will mark its 150th anniversary with an open day tomorrow from 10am -3pm, featuring school memorabilia, local food vendors, live music and kids encouraged to wear their best 1873 outfits. School vice principal Jill Gillies said they expected hundreds of people to attend, including alumni stretching back to the 1940s and one former student from Tasmania. She said the open day was an opportunity for alumni to explore the school, with a number of photo albums and documents from the school’s past on display. “The best thing that we have is the original register from 1873,” Ms Gillies said. The school will also be unveiling mosaics made by schoolkids in honour of the 150th anniversary.
Beechworth hosting state Landcare forum LANDCARE members from across Victoria are converging on Beechworth today and tomorrow, as the township hosts the Victorian Landcare Forum. Following two years of COVID pandemic-related cancellations, the return of an in-person event at the George Kerferd Hotel provides an opportunity for the Landcare community to come together to discuss the environment and natural resource management. Landcare Victoria Inc.
board chair, Jane Carney, said today’s program included presentations on a diverse range of subjects, as well as a hands-on workshop element. Participants will hear about the Australian National University’s (ANU) Sustainable Farms project, gardens for wildlife and citizen science as tools for Landcare, aggregating smaller carbon projects, and supporting diversity in Landcare volunteering. “We will also hear direct-
ly from Landcare groups about how they have adapted the Landcare model and continue to grow, despite a more challenging funding environment,” Ms Carney said. Information stalls run by Landcare Victoria Inc, Agriculture Victoria, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), and local Landcare groups will also be present. Saturday’s program features ‘Breakfast with the
Birds’, hosted by ANU’s Sustainable Farms Program, before attendees embark on a bus tour showcasing Landcare action in the North East. The event follows on from yesterday’s Landcare Professionals Forum, which provided a professional development opportunity for people employed as coordinators, facilitators and project staff. LOCAL LEARNINGS: Beechworth is hosting the Victorian Landcare Forum today and tomorrow.

REGIONAL NEWS
Apple harvest starts strong By BRODIE EVERIST
READY TO PICK: Wandiligong orchardist Don Nightingale among the orchard’s Kanzi apple trees, which they planned to begin picking this week. PHOTO: Brodie Everist
TWO alpine orchardists are reporting a good start to this year’s apple harvest as picking began this month. Don Nightingale, of Nightingales Bros fruit producers in Wandiligong, said they had just finished harvesting around 2000 bins of Royal Galas and were set to begin harvesting Kanzi apples this week. “All Kanzi are looking very good - good colour, good size,” he said. “That would go for about two to three weeks.
“Then Granny Smith follow immediately, they’re looking good - good crops, sizing fairly well.” Nightingales Bros are expecting to harvest around 6000 bins of Pink Lady apples - their largest crop, according to Mr Nightingale. One bin equates to around 400 kilograms of apples. He said the Pink Lady harvesting will go from around mid-April to early May. “That crop is sizing well colours not showing yet, but we’ll get the colour as we get the cooler nights,” he said. Mr Nightingale said they stayed on top of fungus is-
Festival provides music to your beers beers are made later on that day,” Mr Kraus said. If beer’s not your thing, Bright’s Reed and Co, Corowa Distilling Co and Barking Owl Distillery will be serving up gin, whiskey and cocktails, while a range of local wines will celebrate the Victoria’s North East. An inspired music lineup brings an eclectic array of artists from across the country including seven piece party fuzz-funk band The Seven Ups, Indigenous Hip Hop artist Birdz, the afrotropical stylings of Bananagun and silky smooth dream pop act Maple Glider. Low-key, hilarious standup comedian Aaron Gocs will be entertaining the crowd between sets. The family friendly festival will also have plenty of fun activities for all ages, including an arts and crafts tent, live mural painting, and a kids disco. Foodies will be well catered for, with Bridge Road Brewers wood-firing their famous pizzas, local legend Toun Thai sizzling
up a storm, and Myrtleford’s Old Factory barbecue bringing their American barbeque goodness. Local farm collective Tenderground will be purveying their finest offerings over fire and Gundowring ice cream will be bringing all their best flavours. In a true celebration of provenance, beer enthusiasts can look forward to tasting a series of unique ‘fresh hop’ beers made from some extraordinary local hops sourced directly from event partner Hop Products Australia’s 2023 harvest at nearby Rostrevor Hop Gardens. The festival will be held at Beechworth’s Historic Precinct Reserve (police paddocks) from 11.30 to 8pm this Saturday, March 25, with bus transfers available from Albury, Wodonga, Bright, Wangaratta and Myrtleford. For more information visit www.highcountryhop.com.au. BREWERY BUZZ: The High Country Hop festival will return to Beechworth tomorrow.

THE High Country Hop returns to Beechworth tomorrow, marking the the end of the annual hop harvest with a celebration of craft beers against a backdrop of live music, food and entertainment. Festival hosts Bridge Road Brewers will welcome some of Australia’s most revered breweries - Bentspoke, Hop Nation, Molly Rose and Fox Friday, together with North East breweries Billsons, Mitta Mitta Brewing Co, Bright Brewery, and King River Brewing. Ben Kraus from Bridge Road Brewers said one of the USA’s most famed craft brewers, Firestone Walker, will also be showcasing its iconic ales. He said two fresh hop beers made collaboratively with Firestone Walker, and Tasmanian brewery Fox Friday, will also be released and were creating a “genuine buzz around the brewery”. “These fresh hop beers are unique annuals, the hops are picked in the morning and the
sues during the wet weather late last year, and since the weather dried around Christmas time the season had looked strong. He also said finding fruit pickers and other seasonal workers hadn’t been an issue. According to Mr Nightingale, the company use picking machines that slowly move along the lines of fruit trees, speeding up their fruit picking. The pickers, some elevated to the middle and top parts of the trees, put the fruit into elevators which take it to a central bin. “It does away with ladders,
it does away with bags,” he said. Stanley orchardist Henry Hilton said the November rains had no impact on his apple crops. Due to the local climate, he said his apple crops start around three weeks later than other areas. “We’re currently picking Gala, and we’re about to start Honeycrisp,” he said. “We’ve got no problem with diseases or pests.” Mr Hilton said they are still picking berries, which had been a good season, despite the November rains having a small impact.

Power bill surge A PROPOSED 30 per cent surge on Victoria’s default energy bill prices is set to add to the rising cost of living bills in households and business within the North East. Victoria’s Essential Services Commission released its Victorian Default Offer (VDO) for state electricity prices for the next financial year on Wednesday, which is proposing an average annual bill for domestic customers to rise just over
business will observe the Households, businesses face “significant” price rises changes the proposed rise
BY BAILEY ZIMMERMANN bzimmermann@ nemedia.com.au
30 per cent on this financial year prices, with small business customers facing increases of 33 per cent. This comes after The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) revealed its draft electricity price increases of
between 20 and 22 per cent for South Australia, New South Wales and South-East Queensland. The AER chair, Clare Savage, said the increases were “significant”, but they could have been as much as 40 per cent to 50 per cent without the Federal Government’s intervention in December to cap domestic gas and black coal prices. The Victorian ESC draft
decision proposes an increase from $1403 to around $1829 per year for residential customers and from $5620 to around $7358 per year for small business customers. Head baker of Butler’s Pantry Bakehouse in Wangaratta, Scott Butler, said the proposed VDO rises would be another additional expense to cost of living rises which have already had an
impact on the bakery. “It can be tough being a bakery having to run ovens; we try and work off heat as much as we possibly can to see if we can,” he said. “Being such a big bakery there’s sort of sections in it, we shut a lot of the lights down, we try and get a lot of the equipment turned off during the night as early as we possibly can.” Mr Butler said the
in default energy prices in the next six months before potentially making changes to its electricity plan. “I think a lot of businesses now are looking at going solar, I might even be looking at that over the next 12 months because we do run a lot of fridges during the day and that would cut those costs down a hell of a lot,” he said. ■ Continued page 2

Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living without you Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was so kind and true And when we need someone We could always count on you. The special years will not return When we are altogether But with love in our hearts You will walk with us forever. ~ Barb, Tracy and Sandra.

Teens look to the future with uni
WANGARATTA High School year 12 graduates Kayla Fisher and Amy Henderson were among hundreds of local students, and tens of thousands around the state, who received their first round university offers yesterday. The pair are both interested in humanitarian work and development, and were offered their first choice course at their chosen universities. Kayla, 17, has been offered a
double degree in Arts and Public Policy with a major in third-world development at the Australian National University in Canberra. “I was happy with my ATAR score even if I thought I could do better but it’s been a tough year,” Kayla said. “It was difficult not having feedback from classmates because I didn’t know if I was doing okay or needed to improve. “But, I got there in the end and am
looking forward to the next step.” Amy, 18, will be doing occupational therapy at Deakin but hopes to branch into humanitarian work in third world countries. “I had hoped for a higher ATAR but I didn’t need one, I’m pretty happy with how I went,” Amy said. “Last year I really missed out on having the balance of sport and social aspects of school which really help me get through the study aspect.

“The offer I received was my first choice so I’m really happy with that. “I’ll jump straight in this year I think because my initial plans to have a gap year and travel aren’t likely now. “Eventually I want to go into allied health overseas and Kayla and I have always talked about collaborating; she’s more interested in the politics side and I’d do the health side so that could be cool.”
Musicians invited to orchestra meeting MUSICIANS interested in becoming part of a new regional orchestra being formed in Wangaratta will be meeting in the King George V Gardens on Sunday at 2.30pm. A newly formed committee, involving local violinist Sally Ross, will be in attendance and the group welcomes other potential members to come along, particularly seeking violin and flute players, a percussionist and a conductor.

Grand final revenge is on the cards for Magpies
WANGARATTA Magpies will be seeking revenge when they meet Rovers United Bruck in this weekend’s WDCA grand final at Norm Minns Oval. After falling to the Hawks in last season’s decider, the Magpies get the opportunity to peg one back on their rivals. It’s set to be a massive weekend for the club with the Magpies’ A reserve team also battling in a final against Ovens Valley United at WJ Findlay Oval. Wangaratta Magpies skipper Jack Davies was looking forward to the challenge. “As a club we’re really keen for the weekend, especially having two grades in grand finals,” Davies said.
STORIES
BY WILLSON MACK wmack@ nemedia.com.au
“There’s a real buzz around the club at the moment and it’s a great chance to come away with two wins. “Both grades have put a lot of hard yards in together over the year so hopefully we can reap the rewards.” The Magpies looked down and out last weekend in their semi-final against Yarrawonga Mulwala after they were rolled for 115. However, a spirited bowling performance saw them dismiss the Lakers for just 56 with the dangerous fast bowling cartel of Chris
Clement, Matt Gathercole and Fraser Ellis picking up three wickets each. “We took a lot of confidence out of the game last weekend, there are probably just a few things we need to work on with the bat,” Davies said. “I think we just need to show a bit more intent and respect the good balls but still look to score. “The deck was playing well last weekend and I’m sure it’ll be a typical flat grand final wicket so hopefully we can win the toss and put a score on the board.” Davies believes his side is more rounded than last year’s grand final team after adding the likes of Ellis and Clement.
“On paper we’re definitely a better side than last year, especially with the ball after adding ‘Clemo’ and ‘Frase’ in,” Davies said. “At the end of the day though that won’t mean anything unless we’re the best side on the weekend. “We’ll go in unchanged with the same 12 we’ve had all year.” Meanwhile, in the A reserve final the Magpies will start favourites against the Tigers. Ovens Valley stunned ladder leaders Yarrawonga Mulwala to reach the grand final, however, Wangaratta Magpies’ 38-run victory over Rutherglen will fill them with confidence.

ROVERS United Bruck’s quest for back-to-back flags is just one step away from being realised. But Wangaratta Magpies will once again stand in their way as the archrivals go head-to-head in the Geoff Welch Shield final for the second consecutive season. Scores are locked at 1-1 between the two sides this season and this weekend’s clash could go either way. RUB skipper Paddy McNamara can’t wait for the all-important game. “It’s good to get there again,” McNamara said. “It’s taken a long season of hard work to make it this year so it’s well deserve and now we just have to try and finish it off.” It’s been a polar opposite season for the Hawks compared to last, starting the season with a bang but tapering off the further it’s gone on. “Last year we probably started slow but then ran into the finals hot,” McNamara said. “This year we started well but have dropped a couple here and there over the past few weeks which has been a bit disappointing. “We’re probably not in as good form but we’ve got the opportunity to have a crack when it matters most. “The past five or six games we’ve played them have been rippers so it’s
really becoming a good rivalry.” There will be plenty of talent on show for spectators with two of the best batters in the competition in RUB’s Koot Pienaar and Wangaratta Magpies’ Pranav Menon going head-tohead. McNamara believes the team that bats the best will win this year’s competition. “Magpies bowling is exceptional and we feel like our bowling group goes pretty deep too,” he said. “I’d say it’ll be the team that bats the best wins, especially on a good batting deck at the showgrounds. “We’re just going to have to knuckle down with the bat and get through their opening bowlers (Chris Clement and Matt Gathercole) because they can do some damage.” This year’s grand final returns to its traditional two-day format after last season’s was a one day game. “I’m definitely looking forward to playing a two-day final,” McNamara said. “Two-day games are always a grind and whichever side plays the best for longest wins. “It definitely shows who the better side is.” RUB will go into the clash with an unchanged side from their semi-final victory over Ovens Valley United.

Grand final rematch is here WANGARATTA City will get a reality check when they clash with reigning premiers and arch-rivals Albury United on Sunday at Jelbart Park. Like the Devils, United have enjoyed a solid start to the season winning their first two games for the year. The Greens pushed Melrose aside 3-1 in round one, followed by a close 2-1 victory over Albury Hotspurs on Sunday which sees them sit in second position behind Wangaratta. Wangaratta coach Raff Molinaro is expecting a challenge this weekend. “United will be a real challenge,” Molinaro said.
BY WILLSON MACK wmack@ nemedia.com.au
“We knew the first two weeks would be challenging but this will be another level. “They’ve managed to keep the majority of their players so no doubt they’ll be one of the top teams again this year. “We’ve got a lot of confidence behind us at the moment and the boys believe that we’re a good side after our start to the season.” The Devils were beaten by Albury United in last sea-
son’s cup final in a thriller which will only give the local side more desire to win. “We just need to bring everything that we’ve brought in rounds one and two,” Molinaro said. “All I can use on United from last season is the results so I’m sure that’ll dictate how we play and the behaviour we play with. “We just have to use all of the positives we’ve gained from the last two weeks.” Wangaratta will be without goalkeeper and captain Jaxon Osmotherly for a few weeks after he went down with a quad injury in round one. His absence saw Nathan
Chin rise to the occasion against Albury City. “Jaxon’s probably looking at four weeks out maybe so ‘Chinny’ stepped in for him on the weekend,” Molinaro said. “He was really good in goals on Sunday so if he needs to step up again this weekend I’m sure he’ll do it. “Hopefully, having a weekend under his belt to gel with the defence will hold him in good stead for Sunday.” Wangaratta City is set to gain Jordan Vellian and James Purcell from injury as well in a huge boost. Sunday’s clash starts at 3pm.

CHALLENGE AHEAD: Beth Cope and the Lady Devils face Albury United at home this weekend.
WANGARATTA’S women’s soccer side will face their greatest challenge of the season so far when they come up against the ever-dangerous Albury United at South Wangaratta on Sunday. The Lady Devils are currently enjoying back-to-back successes, sitting second on the ladder after convincing wins over Cobram and Wodonga Diamonds. However, United have not won a match yet, but with quality players across the field, they’ll be out to make a statement against Wangaratta. Women’s coach Dan Kelly said he was wary of United. “We played them in preseason twice, in the end they beat us once and we beat them once,” he said. “With our girls playing Saturday, it gave us a chance to watch them on Sunday on the livestream to see what they have and see what they’ve missing from last year. “They’ve got a new coach in, and he seems to really gel the girls together, and I’m sure they’ll start to string some wins on the board soon. “They’ve had a very tough two games too, with Hotspurs and Melrose - I won’t take that they’ve been beaten twice as proof it won’t be a really tough game. “It’s going to be a nail-biter, but hopefully the girls can get over the line.” With Wednesday’s FA Cup match against Myrtleford providing some valuable insight, the Lady Devils will look to their array of red-hot players to get them over the line. A total of seven players have put goals into the back of the net so far this season, and with some incredible depth recording results in the division two competition, the Lady Devils will look to secure a massive scalp this weekend. Wangaratta City host Albury United this Sunday, with the division two women taking to the field at 9.50am and the division one game getting underway at 11.20am.

Senior cricketers honoured MONDAY night’s Wangaratta and District Cricket Association senior presentation night was a chance for cricketers to come together and celebrate the best players going around, as well as the volunteers who make the game possible.

SEASON’S HERE: The Murray Bushrangers girls team will play Sydney Swans in round two this weekend, while the boys play Gippsland Power in their season opener. PHOTO: Murray Bushrangers Facebook
Coates Talent League 2023 season is here MURRAY Bushrangers are ready to attack the newly named Coates Talent League. The u18 boys kick their season off on Saturday against Gippsland at Morwell, while the u18 girls started last weekend against Bendigo Pioneers and will face Sydney Swans at Skinner Reserve this Saturday. Both the boys and girls seasons
will run alongside one another this year in a league first. Murray Bushrangers talent manager Mick Wilson said everyone’s pleased the season is here. “It’s been a long pre-season for all of the kids so everyone’s keen to get back into it,” Wilson said. “There’s a lot of travel involved with the pre-season so logistically it’s been a big few
months for everyone involved. “This year will be massive with both the boys and girls seasons running next to each other which will see them play their grand finals on the same day in September.” A squad of 50 has been selected for the boys, while 60 have been picked between the u16 and u18 girls. Both squads are allowed to pick
six overage u19 players with only three permitted to play on game day. Wilson said there were a number of players who are a chance to play in this year’s national championships. “We’ll have quite a few players put their hands up for Victoria Country and Allies in the boys and girls.
“In the boys we have two AFL Academy players (Connor O’Sullivan and Darcy Wilson) and then five or six who should play Victoria Country and three or four who might play Allies so there are 9-10 players that might play nationals. “In the girls we’ve got two in the Victoria Country squad and might have two or three play Allies.”

Wangaratta cyclists riding to victory By NATHAN DE VRIES
CC’s Lindsay Croucher and Andrew Jones, while Nichols placed alongside Carnegie Caulfield’s Brenden Halleur and Albury Wodonga Panthers CC’s Daniel Luke. Wangaratta Cycling Club’s Franklin Jarrod also competed well among the 25 riders in C grade. Strang said he was very fortunate to take out the highly sought-after win. “The best thing about it, and to prove it wasn’t a fluke, I won it last year, so I’ve gone back to back,” he said. “I thought that would silence a few, it’s very competitive, and you’ve really got to be on your mettle to stay with them. “It’s been a good series - Albury-Wodonga, Bright, Myrtleford, Yarrawonga, Cobram, Benalla, they come from all over.”
LAST week saw the conclusion of the hotly-contested Stean Nicholls DECA Criterium cycling competition, and for Wangaratta Cycling Club members, it was a very successful night. Local club member Ian Strang walked away with first place in the C grade event, while Brent Nichols placed second in A grade. The competition kicked off back in October, with racers meeting every Wednesday at the track at the DECA Logic Centre in Barnawartha. Hosted and run by Albury Wodonga Cycling Club, the competition attracts races from across the North East and the state. Strang took the C grade prize by a narrow margin ahead of Albury Wodonga

“Gai Waterhouse’s horse (Amazonian Lass) will probably go forward so we’ll get a nice trail into the race. “As long as nothing silly happens we should be there in the finish.” Brisbourne’s stunning grey Kooled ($9) will also run at Flemington in the final race of the day. The four-year-old will run in the TAB Bets Friends Sprint (BM80) over 1200m. “We weren’t too keen on running him down the straight but we looked at the form and we were only two and a half lengths off Passive Aggressive last time down the straight,” Brisbourne said. “This will probably be the decider on whether we continue to run him down the straight.” Meanwhile, Brisbourne’s Diesel ($6.50) looks one of the main chances in today’s Albury Guineas (1400m). The three-year-old gelding resumes from an 11 week spell after being gelded fresh off his maiden victory at Wangaratta on December 30. “Diesel was gelded after his last run, he just become a bit silly,” Brisbourne said. “He’s come back a better horse and his trial at Wangaratta (March 14) over 1200m was very impressive. “We go there with plenty of confidence, he looks a nice horse.”

Hell Queen ready BEN Brisbourne’s Hell Queen will take her place in tomorrow’s group three TBV Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200) at Flemington. Fresh off winning her maiden by a whopping three and a half lengths at Bendigo last start, the two-year-old filly has drawn barrier 10 and has been quoted a $4.40 second favourite in the $200,000 race. Blake Shinn will ride the promising filly with regular jockey Craig

ahead of tomorrow’s race. “She’s been perfect, hasn’t missed a beat,” Brisbourne said. “She looks great and certainly hasn’t taken a step back after her win a couple of weeks go. “As long as she holds the form she’s had this prep she’ll be extremely competitive.” Hell Queen goes into the
race as the only horse that is group placed, while she’s also proven down the Flemington straight placing twice. “The form out of that twoyear-old race a month ago has been really good so she just has to replicate that,” Brisbourne said. “She’s got that black type form where most of the other horses are
coming off maidens. “She’s probably the most proven of the bunch.” Shinn has been in terrific touch since returning to Australia from Hong Kong with his most recent group one success aboard superstar Alligator Blood in the Futurity Stakes on February 25. “Blake Shinn’s really switched on and has been
riding well,” Brisbourne said. “As soon as we knew Craig was out we were quick to jump on the phone and make sure Blake was available to ride.” Brisbourne expects Hell Queen to get a nice run for gate 10. “Gate 10 is a great draw,” he said. ■ Continued page 45
