He said COVID-19 had brought one particular positive to the rural city. “It has given us a super power - the power of kindness,” he said. ■ Continued page 2 ■ More coverage pages 13 -18

From page 1 “Regardless of where we come from we are all Australians and all have contributions to make. “It’s the resilience and the spirit of helping we see time and time again - we are all part of this great story.” The theme of bringing communities together was ever-present throughout the day, particularly when long-time local contributors John and Jennefer Houghton were honoured as joint recipients of Wangaratta’s Citizen of the Year award. The pair, who have been lifelong volunteers and ambassadors for the rural city, have cared for more than 100 foster children during their 16-year tenure with Upper Murray Family Care, while also leading the Wangaratta Carevan project, which provides meals to the North East’s homeless population three times a week. The two will now see their

WANGARATTA handprints carved into the Marmungan Rock at Apex Park, as part of a traditional ceremony during National Reconciliation Week later this year. Mr and Mrs Houghton said the award was a special honour for all involved. “We thought we won by being one of the seven nominees,” John told the Wangaratta Chronicle. “Considering the candidates, they were exceptional,” Jennefer said. “It’s fantastic - and it’s great for our family too because they’re right behind us - they see all of the work and they’re part of it. “All of our family is involved in 100 per cent of what we do even the foster care, they’re all

involved with that. “We’re grateful to everyone who has been a part of our journey - we’re really rapt.” John, a longtime Wangaratta Lions Club member and former district governor for District 201V6, and Jennefer, a founding member of Wangaratta Connected Community Inc, have long prioritised supporting disadvantaged or at-risk populations, particularly young people through their foster work and involvement with the Big Brother, Big Sister program. The two are also famed for their Christmas house, inviting guests to walk through their home on Tavern Terrace and view an extensive collection of Christmas lights and decorations during the festive season in years unaffected by COVID. Speaking on Wednesday, Jennefer recalled time spent picking up Wangaratta Australia Day ambassador Shahid Siddique for football training as a youth,

while John said he was proud to have left a significant footprint in his community. “If you pay it forward, it will come back,” he said. “(Big Brother, Big Sister) will get up and running and that will be fantastic for the youth of Wangaratta - it gives them somewhere to come and talk and have somebody,” Jennefer said. “Hopefully this year in 2022 we’ll have some more normality in our lives - we believe by putting into our community, we get tenfold back. “That’s what it’s about and that’s what Wangaratta is about - it’s about community.” LGBTQIA+ advocate Elena Sewell-Dolphin received the Youth Citizen of the Year award, while Di Duursma accepted the Event/Project of the Year award on behalf of the Wangaratta Night Shelter. ■ More Australia Day stories pages 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

660 young locals get vaxxed By STEVE KELLY

IMMACULATE: This property on the Oxley-Meadow Creek Road was much sought after by buyers.

Selling market healthy Regional g Victoria experiences p highest g p property p yp price rise on record

PROPERTY prices and rents continue to rise in Wangaratta, with the rural city following trends for regional Victoria. The Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) reports that house prices increased to $600,500 in the December quarter compared to $579,000 in September. Nutrien Harcourts director and principal Joe McKenzie said new year sales have continued the trend of last year with still very high buyer demand and record low days on market. “Listing numbers were actually up eight per cent, number of settled properties up 45 per cent and the average median price was up 14 per cent for the year,” Mr McKenzie said. “Our sales will include rural, residential and some commercial numbers but our

team has always sold in all three sectors so it remains a constant. “Sellers have a real opportunity to sell at record levels and ideal for those who don’t need to reinvest but for most it’s simply a better result on the way out and more expensive on the way back into the market.” The average rent price continues to rise with Mr McKenzie explaining that it’s particularly after the Victorian Government had a freeze on rental increases during early COVID management. “That has created a ripple effect now the rental increase

is not restricted and fair market rent has certainly risen in line with sale price growth,” he said. Nutrien Harcourts market highlights included 1242 acres in Bobinawarrah for around $5 million, selling to a local farming family and attracting mainly local buyers. A 110-acre property on the King River at Oxley was well beyond prior market expectations with multiple offers well over $2 million from buyers all over Victoria and beyond. A good, clean property such as 780 Warby Range Road sold pre-Christmas for $1.045 million. And in urban Wangaratta, a clean weatherboard home at 36 Appin Street sold at $440,000. “Interestingly, our data still shows the highest percentage of actual buyers still live with-

in 30km of the property they buy,” Mr McKenzie said. Other statistics from REIV include the median house price in regional Victoria has recorded its largest annual increase since 2001, according to data from Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s December quarter report. In 2021, the median house price in regional Victoria grew 27 per cent, reaching a record breaking $565,000 in the 12 months to December 2021, up from $445,000. Units and apartments in regional Victoria also grew, achieving an annual growth of 19.6 per cent bringing the median price to $395,950. REIV president Adam Docking said the data reflects the enduring attraction of regional Victoria as a lifestyle choice following two years of COVID-19 restrictions.

ONE third of the Wangaratta area’s 5-11 year olds have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination, with 660 getting the jab locally over the last two weeks. Northeast Health Wangaratta (NHW) is averaging 350 vaccinations per day across all age groups and it reports plenty of vaccination appointments are available for the 5-11 age group and for people seeking their third dose booster. Acting chief executive officer Robyn Gillis said the code brown at NHW is ongoing and they’ve been able to redeploy staff into acute services as a result. “Patients are entering the emergency department appropriately and some of our small rural partners have taken some of our patients to relieve the pressure,” she said. “We still have a high number of staff isolating and it is reducing but we still have staff isolating at the moment.” Ms Gillis said NHW is a screening hospital for COVID positive patients now where historically they would have gone to Albury, GV or Melbourne. “This involves adult patients because maternity and paediatric patients will still go to those other hospitals,” she said. “There are four positive patients at the moment.” NHW is handing out RATs to about 200 people per day and Ms Gillis expects this number to possibly decrease as schools distribute two RATs per student weekly from Monday. The total number of active COVID-19 cases in the Rural City of Wangaratta yesterday was 98, with eight new cases reported in the 24 hour prior.

Chinese New Year celebration THE North East Multicultural Association (NEMA) will celebrate Chinese New Year and Vietnamese Tet on Saturday, February 5 from 11am at the Beechworth Chinese Garden.

Stalking accused avoids conviction, fined $1500 A WANGARATTA man accused of stalking his former partner has avoided conviction, but Magistrate Ian Watkins warned any future transgressions would see the defendant at risk of losing his liberty. Facing Wangaratta Magistrates Court yesterday, the accused was placed on a two-year adjourned undertaking and fined $1500, after he used a key on two separate occasions to access the home of his former

partner and steal her laptop, in breach of a full exclusion intervention order last year. The July 3 and 4 offences left the victim highly distressed, a result which was of little surprise to Mr Watkins. “It’s clear that she was, in my view, very rightly distressed,” he said. “You chose to go into her home at a time when you knew you weren’t permitted. “She should have felt entitled

to feel safe in her home, and she wasn’t because of your actions.” Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Stuart Pritchard said police had initially sought a community corrections order for the offending, and said the use of a key to access the home had left a significant emotional impact on the victim, as outlined in her victim impact statement. “This is not a low-level stalking incident,” he told the court. The extended undertaking

imposed by Mr Watkins will see the defendant complete a men’s behaviour change program, but the presiding magistrate warned further offending could well be met by a prison sentence. “We’re not going to be talking about conviction or non-conviction, you’ll need a strong argument to avoid prison,” he told the defendant. “This is not acceptable behaviour and the courts don’t tolerate it.”

Police investigate Swanpool boat theft A BURGLARY at a Swanpool property has seen offenders break into a shed, before stealing a boat and trailer earlier this month. Police believe a Blueline boat (registration RX843) and a trailer (registration W54220) were stolen from the property between 12 and 8pm on January 16, along with a grey cover which was covering the boat at the time. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is urged to contact Benalla Police Station on (03) 5760 0200, or provide information anonymously at https://www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Best year sets up for premium weaner sale

By STEVE KELLY WANGARATTA’S Blue Ribbon Weaner Sale will be held Wednesday and Friday next week with high quality selections of steers and heifer calves from across the region going under the hammer at auction. One of the larger sellers is Craig Thorp who will present bout 96 quality bred heifers weighing 235kg and 104 steers at an average of 250kg for sale. The bloodlines include Pechanga cows out of Tasmania and Injemira bulls out of Holbrook. The calves have been herded at Moyhu and Yackandandah properties and it’s the third year Mr Thorp will sell his cattle through the Wangaratta Livestock Exchange. “We did fairly well there last year and all things being equal we’ll do well again this year,” he said. Conditions have been first class throughout the spring and summer with plenty of feed, and rainfalls topping up water storages. “Everyone is saying it has been the best year for many, many years and certainly for us the winter wasn’t that cold that we’ve had to feed them out the masses like we have done in the past. “It’s been an exceptionally good

grown out and when they’re up over 450kg someone else will finish them off from there. He said most of them will go north of the Murray because well over 60 per cent of them went north last year to Tamworth and Toowoomba. “If you look at the other sales

and where the interest is coming from most of them will go north of the Murray,” Mr Thorp said. “They’re obviously restocking up north and I think agriculture in general is more buoyant and that old saying ‘make hay while the sun shines’ - I think that’s what everyone is doing.”

Fine imposed for “impulsive” theft A MAN who stole money from a wallet lost at a Wangaratta service station has pleaded guilty to theft charges, after pinching $150 last year. The 47-year-old South Australian man faced Wangaratta Magistrates Court on Monday, after he was accused of stealing cash from a wallet dropped at the entrance to Wangaratta APCO in the early hours of May 16. Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Stuart Pritchard told the court the accused had parked his truck at the front of APCO around 2.10am, with CCTV cameras capturing the man taking money from the wallet before discarding the wallet on a shelf. A staff member located the wallet the following day, before the store manager contacted the victim, ascertaining that “no more than $200” had been in the wallet when it was lost. After tracing the truck’s number plate to a Myrtleford business, the identity of the driver was confirmed and he was subsequently arrested on August 12, telling police he had “never even stolen a toothpick”. Defence counsel Nancy Battiato said her client had since taken a new job in South Australia, and had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity. “It was impulsive what he did,” she told the court. Magistrate Peter Mithen said the 47-year-old’s behaviour was “very disappointing”, and imposed a financial penalty of $600 with conviction. The defendant was also ordered to pay $150 in restitution to the victim.

Nadia answers call for blood

HELPING OTHERS: Labor candidate Nadia David was among those who donated blood on Australia Day and then (INSET) attended Wangaratta’s Australia Day celebrations.

INDI Labor Party candidate Nadia David may have helped saved a life on Australia Day. Responding to an article in the Wangaratta Chronicle last week, Ms David answered the call to donate blood at a time when more supply is desperately needed. “At a time when a lot of Australians are questioning how to celebrate or mark Australia Day on January 26 - or whether to mark it at all - giving blood seems like a pretty good way to go,” she said. “There’s no better way to show your respect and love for your fellow Australians

than by giving them the gift of blood when they need it. “Well done to the Wangaratta Red Cross Blood Bank for putting out the call.” Ms David was among the 500-strong crowd which attended Wangaratta’s Australia Day ceremony and she congratulated council for putting on a wonderful event that had prominent inclusion of Bangarang and Torres Strait Islander elders highlighting Indigenous cultures. She also praised the efforts of outstanding award recipients.

Home invader’s damage spree A WANGARATTA woman who broke into the home of her former partner and barricaded herself inside has been released from police custody following her arrest at the weekend. The 42-year-old faced Wangaratta Magistrates Court via video link on Monday, having been arrested at a Wangaratta address on Sunday evening after she breached an intervention order and caused almost $7500

damage to her former partner’s home. Police prosecutor Sergeant Heath Dosser told the court the accused had attended the address in breach of an order around 12.55am the previous day, smashing a window and attempting to gain access to her former partner’s home. The court heard that she fled after police were called to the scene, but returned around 6pm, unlocking

a rear door by reaching through the broken window before shifting and breaking furniture to fortify her position in the home. Sgt Dosser said the homeowner had exited the house to avoid a confrontation, and had witnessed the accused throwing items through windows and breaking a cabinet. Responding police, unable to access the front door, were forced to climb a back fence to gain access to the

property, ultimately locating the accused asleep in the living room. Defence counsel Geoff Clancy told the court his client had been on bail at the time of the incident, completing a court integrated services program (CISP). He said a forensic care report had identified a number of psychological issues for his client. Mr Clancy said his client had wrongly believed an inter-

vention order preventing her attendance at the former partner’s home had been altered. “It’s a very messy situation which has led to a number of incarcerations for my client,” he told the court. “In the last two years her priors have got out of control. “She’s been sober for seven weeks but it appears over the weekend she drank again.” Mr Clancy urged Magistrate Peter Mithen to consid-

er sentencing the accused to two days served in custody, allowing for a psychological analysis to take place next week before she returns to court for sentencing on other matters on February 7. Mr Mithen agreed with Mr Clancy’s synopsis, sentencing the accused to two days in custody. “It’s in her interests to either get the order amended or stay away from the address.”

Rubbish dumping concerns ease By SIMONE KERWIN CONCERNS over excess rubbish dumping at Moyhu Lions Park have eased since earlier this month. In the first week of January, Moyhu Lions Club president Nicole Lindsay spoke to the Wangaratta Chronicle

about rubbish piling up in the township’s central park, which has regularly been a problem during holiday periods but reached “extreme” levels over Christmas. The Rural City of Wangaratta said at the time that changes in state park management practices (urging

people to take their rubbish with them from campsites and natural features) had placed pressure on waste collection infrastructure and services in public spaces managed by council. “Council understands Parks Victoria’s stance on waste collection and would

like to remind people that the onus is on campers and day trippers to take their rubbish home with them,” council chief executive officer Brendan McGrath said. Ms Lindsay said waste left at Moyhu Lions Park had ranged from used toilet paper to silage wrap, indicat-

ing it had been left by both visitors and locals, and Mr McGrath reminded people that the dumping of recreational and residential waste in public spaces was illegal and carried hefty fines. Ms Lindsay said council had been helping the Moyhu Lions Club put strategies in

place for waste collection to address the local issue, and efforts continued to inform campers and spread the word to the community. She said council had also provided clear signage at the park to alert people to the requirements around waste disposal.

Sun-smart extension coming to the Whitfield Golf Club By ANITA McPHERSON VISITORS to the Whitfield and District Golf Club will soon have more room to gather while staying cool and shaded from the sun, when a new sunsmart pergola is installed in coming months. The club was delighted to be the recipient of a grant from the Rural City of Wangaratta’s community grants program, allocated $10,000 towards its construction, extending the modest club house and helping to make what will eventually be an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area. Club president Greg Rosser said they were excited to receive support for their project, planning to contribute their own funds towards the outdoor kitchen, creating a comfortable space to relax and socialise. He said it was a welcome boost and a tribute to the members who worked hard to maintain the facility to a professional standard for all to enjoy. “These people are unbelievable -

every week contributing hundreds of volunteer hours to maintain the golf course and help the community out,” he said. “Visitors to the club always comment about how fabulous the course is, even those who have played at some of the best in the world. “The course is an extra attraction for visitors to the King Valley, but the main focus is being here for the community’s use and enjoyment.” Mr Rosser thanked council and said the outdoor area would provide members with further opportunity to gather together, to connect and to have some fun, which was important for everyone’s wellbeing. The club will hold its annual Membership Drive at the Swinburne Pavilion at the Whitfield Recreation Reserve on Sunday, February 6, also celebrating its 60 year history. Tickets which include lunch and drinks are $50 per person, available from committee members or by calling 0418 364 828.

On the right road to reconciliation EFFORTS to reconcile with Wangaratta‘s local Indigenous population were pushed to the fore at Wednesday‘s Australia Day celebration, as the Bpangerang nation was placed in the spotlight to welcome new citizens to our community. The cultural showcase saw traditional dancing and an Indigenous smoke ceremony take centre stage, as Australians from a range of backgrounds came together at King George V Gardens to celebrate as one. It saw Australia Day ambassador Shahid Saddique, who immigrated to Australia from the Torres Strait Islands as a young man, share the trials and tribulations he and his family faced before settling in Wangaratta. He moved here in 2007, and has since become an active and involved member of the community who jumped at the opportunity to share his culture with the local region he has become an integral part of. The 500–strong crowd saw Indigenous Elder Uncle Dozer speak of his desire to walk alongside Australians of all creeds, before welcoming newly emigrated citizens to the community by allowing them to partake in an age–old Indigenous smoking ceremony. The Citizens of the Year, John and Jennefer Houghton, will eventually have their handprints carved on the Marmungun Rock at Apex Park, Marmungun being the closest Bpangerang word to community. By sharing stories and prioritising community, the rural city continued to make positive steps towards reconciliation. It may not be fast enough for some people, and maybe too fast for others but, importantly, it is the best direction to be heading for us to see and live in true reconciliation.

FACEBOOK users commented on this week’s Chronicle web poll which asked: Should Australia Day continue to be celebrated on January 26? Greg Wighton: Given that it’s such a traumatic date for Australia’s first people’s and that it has already been changed a bunch over the year’s surely we can all get behind changing it one last time and locking it onto a Friday in like March

Aged care quarantine needs Federal action COVID has been in Australia for two years. The Federal Government has taken no responsibility for effective quarantine during this time. This week 44 per cent of residential aged care facilities in Victoria are now in lock down owing to COVID. I understand over 11,000 aged care staff are now unwell with COVID and the media no longer publishes the numbers of aged care residents who get the virus within their residential facilities, or the location of where they die. In residential aged care, where residents are frail aged, have complex health issues and are in air conditioned buildings often under the one roof, it is most likely that the virus can spread easily. They need to be taken out of the residential aged care facility they live in, so as not to spread the virus to other residents, which has proved to happen despite the vigilance of the skilled and caring staff. I was able to visit my mother only twice in 12 months (January and December) and the facility is now in lock down again. The government has taken no action to create quarantine facilities for people from residential aged care and expect that already overburdened aged care workers will nurse them or take them if they are really unwell to hospitals, where hospital staff are already overloaded and unprepared to manage people with dementia and multiple other age-related health and medical conditions. There is an urgent need for people in residential aged care who get COVID to be quarantined in specially resourced facilities away from their residential facility to prevent the spread of COVID to other residents and their staff who are skilled in aged care and equally vulnerable. The Federal Government is responsible for aged care and the provision of national quarantine facilities, they need to be held accountable and act ASAP without blaming everyone else, as our vulnerable elderly are in facilities that expose them to the virus and most likely to kill them. It is a matter of life and death where preventative solutions are urgently needed. We have had two years to get it right and still no one seems to want to take responsibility for the spread of the virus in residential aged care facilities where our elderly, who have made significant contributions all through their lives, are locked away and put at mortal risk.

Plan needed to revive dip in WSAC usage YES, I am afraid I have to agree with Brian Fox (letters, Wednesday, January 26) regarding the management of the WSAC. As a member of this complex for over eight years, the complex is by far the best it has been but the loss of customers is amazing. Unlike Brian, I do not think the sign would help because most know of this place and the number of members they had before council took over also shows that. I have witnessed first hand some of the treatment dished out to former members and a lot will not return. It is a shame as more extensions are planned this week so you would hope the council has an action plan to increase numbers. Both our CEO and mayor would be privy to the huge loss that must be taken up by the local ratepayers and that must hurt. Most people who use the pool do not bother making suggestions any more because nothing ever comes from it, which is amazing considering so many are leaving. Poor management when council first took over and removal of family memberships sure took their toll; the place never recovered and all this at the ratepayers’ expense. Ron Harrigan, Wangaratta

NOTE: Comments as they appear online, without corrections. FACEBOOK users this week commented on claims made by the Victorian opposition deputy leader over plans to reduce speed limits to 80kph on country roads instead of fixing road surfaces. Greg Benton: Driver stupidity, inattention and impatience are a much bigger issue. Speed is a lazy fix, people will still die. Daniel Moore: prehaps the money they wasted on phillipson st should have been used to fix the roads that need to be repaired. reducing the speed

• •

will cause fatigue, longer trips, and possibly alot more. Nathan Andrew: Does this include the hume? It’s a disgrace as well Pat Twitchett: What a joke

• ••

Charles Szeligiewicz:

Government reducing responsibility entrusted by the taxpayer. Government speed cameras increasing revenue from road users. Susan Pascoe: What aren’t they getting enough money from fines. They need to fix the roads. What a friggin joke.

•

that •means more time spentSo physiKlayton Bridson:

cally driving on the road to get form point a to point b and increasing the chance of being in a car accident yeah that works Michael White: Fatigue is killing more drivers than speed these days so dropping the speed limit will have an impact on the road toll! This is classic city mentality they have everything with in 5km of home! Regional Victoria isn’t a city the closest service station to us is 10km... so my 5min trip

•

turns into near 10min come on. I expect Regional registration to drop if they do this we are paying for major infrastructure in Melbourne to reduce their time in traffic in return they slow our commute down! Charles Branstom: Actually simple physics will tell you that people have a far less chance of being killed or badly injured at 80k/h compared to 100. Nathan Castle: It’s people’s lousy driving skills / behaviour that’s the main factor behind the push to drop speed limits.

Mullinmur Linocut project

Summer landscape exhibition

Wild Encounters at the Wangaratta Library

AN exhibition of works created during workshops held as part of the Goulburn and North East Arts Alliance (GANEAA) Across the Arts Forum last year is now on display at the Wangaratta Visitor Information Centre. The Mullinmur Billabong Linocut Project was facilitated by local artist Anita Laurence and involved participants drawing, cutting and printing while on site at the Wangaratta wetland. Featuring a range of linocut prints, textiles works and more, it will be on display throughout January and February.

A SELECTION of landscape paintings collected by the Rural City of Wangaratta over the last 40 years is currently on display in the foyer of the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre. They include works by John Colin Angus, Len Pawluk and Angelo Quabba and all depict the Australian landscape in summer, from the coast to the country. Acquired through the Wangaratta Art Show and normally housed in council offices, they will be on display until January 25.

SEE the stunning images of renowned local author, ecologist, educator and photographer Chris Tzaros in the Bainz Gallery at the Wangaratta Library this month. Every photograph in the Wild Encounters exhibition has been taken in the wild, many from remote locations and others from areas closer to home in North East Victoria. Each image on display is also accompanied by a short story providing information about the species, in the hope raising awareness about our precious native animals.

NATIONAL NEWS

Imported goods prices surge, led by petrol THE price of imported goods rose 5.8 per cent in the December quarter, the biggest increase in eight years, led by a strong rise in petrol and other related goods. Driven by strong global oil prices, the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ import price index shows petroleum products jumped 14.6 per cent in the quarter and a staggering 79 per cent over the year. The overall import price index was up 13.8 per cent for the year. Earlier this week, the con-

sumer price index for the December quarter unexpectedly jumped to 3.5 per cent, fuelled by petrol prices, to stand above the RBA’s two to three per cent inflation target. Importantly, underlying inflation - which smooths out wild price swings - also rose to 2.6 per cent, its highest level since 2014, and a level the Reserve Bank of Australia had not expected until the end of 2023. The ABS export price index rose by a more modest 3.5 per cent in the December quarter,

but was still a hefty 38.3 per cent up on the year. Surging demand lifted coal export prices by 51.9 per cent in the quarter, while gas exports were 36.1 per cent higher, but a drop in demand for iron ore from China saw metalliferous ores and metal scrap prices down 29.4 per cent. The rise in inflation and the recent drop in the unemployment rate has raised speculation among economists that the RBA could start lifting the cash rate in August.

But in the near term economists expect growth will be negatively impacted by the Omicron COVID-19 variant, briefly stalling the recovery from last year’s Delta strain lockdowns. Westpac has raised its growth forecast for the December quarter 2021 to 2.6 per cent from 2.2 per cent, partly reflecting the 12 per cent boost to retail sales in October and November as Delta strain lockdowns were removed. “In contrast, our own high frequency credit and debit

card data for the first few weeks of January is pointing to a marked fall in consumer spending over that period which can be attributed to the Omicron shock,” Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said. “With confidence-related spillovers to business investment and inventories in January we have marked down our forecast growth rate in the March quarter from a robust 2.3 per cent to zero.” Growth for the full year is now forecast at 5.5 per cent

DANGER: Researchers found 47 per cent of people who drowned at the beach since 2004, were born overseas.

rather than 6.4 per cent. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute leading index, which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future, rose to minus 0.15 per cent in December from minus 19 per cent in November. Mr Evans said the index remains in slight negative territory due to the high degree of uncertainty around the nearterm outlook and the spectacular spread of the Omicron variant. -AAP

Migrants at bigger risk of beach drownings ALMOST half of the people who drown on Australia’s beaches are migrants. Researchers from the UNSW Sydney Beach Safety Research Group have studied the risk factors behind beach drownings among migrants from South Asia, prompted by the fact that 47 per cent of people who drowned at the beach from 2004 to 2021 were born overseas. People born in India accounted for the highest proportion of

migrants who drowned in Australia between 2009 and 2019. An online survey completed by 249 people from India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Bhutan and Pakistan, found almost half could not swim, but many still intended to go into the water when visiting beaches and many often went in fully clothed More than half said they went for a dip at unpatrolled beaches, mostly as a family or group. The study’s lead author Mark

Woods says beach safety education needs to be better targeted at migrant communities. The study found those who had lived in Australia for shorter time periods were more likely to visit the beach but were much less likely to be able to swim or understand the meaning of flags on patrolled beaches. They were also unlikely to be able to spot rips. “The clear implication here is that new and recent migrants to

Australia should be a central focus for learn-to-swim programs and beach safety education,” Mr Woods said. Study co-author Rob Brander said the study confirmed what he had learned from years researching beach safety in Australia. “The standard beach safety messages we use, such as ‘swim between the flags’, may not resonate with new migrants,” he said.

Retail association pushes for isolation exemption on workers AUSTRALIA’S retail sector is urging national cabinet for isolation exemptions to be extended to staff in the industry, as the prime minister meets with state and territory leaders. National cabinet on Thursday discussed the state of the health system, following one of the deadliest days of the pandemic with 87 fatalities on Wednesday. Isolation rules for workers in a number of essential sectors were expanded earlier this month, and now there is a growing push for retail staff to be added to the list.

The exemptions would allow workers to go back to their jobs after being at a COVID-exposure site, provided they test negative to the virus on a rapid antigen test. Chief executive of the Australian Retail Association Paul Zahra said businesses in the sector were yet to pass supply chain issues that had been exacerbated by Omicron. “We all have to learn to live with COVID,” he told ABC Radio. “If you can expand isolation exemptions for certain groups, it makes sense to expand it further to other cat-

egories of retail.” The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has stepped up its push for international tourists to return to the country. The chamber’s chief executive Andrew McKellar said such a move would be a way to boost the post-pandemic economy. “We are urging government to get ahead of the curve, start talking to the industry about how quickly it can happen,” he told ABC TV. “We do think in the weeks ahead, as the pressure comes off the health system, then the

rationale for keeping these international border restrictions in place can be revisited.” Opposition home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally said more planning was needed to allow the international travel sector to recover following years of uncertainty. “It’s extraordinary that three years into this pandemic there has been no planning done,” she told ABC TV. “We need to look at sensible solutions and it would be helpful if we actually had a national government that was leading. -AAP

The study found more than a quarter (27 per cent) of respondents did not know or have a clear understanding of the red and yellow flags which indicate where it’s patrolled and safe to swim. Of those who were familiar with the flags’ role, more than half (54 per cent) said they did not always swim between them, while 23 per cent said they rarely or never did. -AAP

Vic: Two dead after shots fired in Yarra Valley TWO men have been found dead, one at a home the other at a toilet block, in an Australia Day shooting in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Police responded to a call that shots had been fired at a property on Clarke Avenue in Warburton about 8.30pm on Wednesday. Officers arrived to find a man had died at the property and a woman at the scene was not injured. A short time later, police found a second man’s body in a toilet block at a reserve on Warburton Highway. Both men were aged 57. Police said the investigation remains ongoing, and while the circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined, they are not looking for anyone else. -AAP

Peter local achiever

A STRONG sense of community was evident among residents who gathered in the Hamilton Park community area to celebrate Australia Day and enjoy a hearty breakfast cooked by members of the community. The highlight of the breakfast “Under the Gum Trees” this year was the presentation of the Hamilton Park 2022 Local Achiever Award presented by Councillor Dave Fuller to Peter Janas. Peter and his wife Ros were joined by their daughters Meg and Erin to celebrate the occasion. Erin who lives in Melbourne arrived in time for breakfast to surprise her father, who still had not realised that he would soon

AUSTRALIA DAY

HAMILTON PARK be the centre of attention. “It was special for me to get back out in communities and be present today especially with the connection I have with Peter,” Cr Fuller said. “To see 40 odd people here is a fantastic turnout in that sense, a perfect day, and wonderful back drop for such an event.” Peter and his wife Ros are long term residents of the Park, building their home in Grants Estate in the late 1970s. In the early days Peter helped

build the original tennis courts, now the Sports Hub, and was a member of the Hamilton Park tennis club. Hamilton Park Estate and Grants Estate were established within a few years of each other and in the early 70s Peter was responsible for pulling down the fence that separated the two estates. Peter has also been actively involved in the maintenance and improvement of the Fifteen Mile Creek pumping system. His mechanical skills have been an invaluable contribution to the board, as with a background as a fitter and turner, nothing seems to faze him. He seems to have a solution to

many of our maintenance problems. Peter has supported the maintenance of our aging water infrastructure system over a number of years. His other contributions include helping with the grassland mowing program, the bushland thinning program this year, monitoring of the bushland fire fuel moisture ratings to provide input to CFA over summer, fixing small machinery and improvements to the fire hydrants in Hamilton Park. He unselfishly gives his time, his experience and skills to our community so we can enjoy the benefits of living in this great place. Peter is a worthy recipient of the Hamilton Park Achiever Award.

Early brekky starts the day at Tarra AN early morning barbecue breakfast was on the menu for the Tarrawingee community, as locals celebrated Australia Day on Wednesday. The feast of sausages, eggs, bacon and burgers, as well as toast with jam or Vegemite, tea, coffee and juice was prepared by volunteers. New and long-time residents of Tarrawingee enjoyed the morning, which provided opportunities for great conversation and catch-ups among families and friends. Tarrawingee’s local achiever, Charlotte Byrne, was presented with her award by Allan Hopper, chairperson of the Tarrawingee community group. Charlotte is an integral member of the community, is involved in a number of committees, and has been instrumental in organising and maintaining the community Facebook page. The morning also included a gold nugget treasure hunt, organised by Janine and enjoyed by children and young adults alike.

AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS

A BIG DAY OUT: Di Duursma from the Wangaratta Night Shelter with (from left) Terry Long, Mat Reynolds and Brett Turner prior to the awards ceremony. PHOTO: Shane Douthie

Shelter hailed as premier project By RYAN MALCOLM THE Wangaratta Night Shelter was honoured at Wednesday’s Australia Day awards, heralded as the rural city’s Event/ Project of the Year. The volunteer-run organisation, which provides sleeping accommodation to individuals at risk of experiencing homelessness, received the plaudits in its third year of operation, as it battled a challenging COVID-impacted year. Accepting the award on behalf of a 150-strong team of volunteers, Di Duursma said the project had furthered the conversation around homelessness in the rural city. “I think the recognition from our rural city means there are many, many people who are choosing to see the plight of our most vulnerable,” she told the Wangaratta Chronicle. “They’re choosing to hear their voices and choosing to welcome them into the community.” The project utilised borrowed church buildings throughout the rural city throughout the colder winter months, providing accommodation and meals for upwards of 10

people at a time through the generosity of the local community. Throughout 2021, the shelter maintained a strong, diverse volunteerbase full of nonjudgemental individuals to provide comfort and care to those doing it tough. More recently, the shelter opened an office on Wills Street, Wangaratta, in an effort to extend the shelter community outside of the high-intensity winter period, as well as releasing a book of stories from the night shelter, which is available from Edgar’s Books and News. “(The office) is at the very beginnings of opening up just a few hours a week at the moment as a welcome space where anybody can come,” Ms Duursma said. “They can just sit on a couch and have a cup of tea and experience the same community we experienced in the shelter during the three winter months. “Ultimately we would love to see the shelter open in a more permanent way, but we actually love the fact we were able to sleep in the borrowed church buildings and we’re so thankful for what we do have already.”

Inclusion focus LGBTQIA+ Q advocate secures Youngg Citizen of the Year award

A STRONG mental health advocate and proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Elena Sewell-Dolphin (they/ them) has been crowned Wangaratta’s Young Citizen of the Year. The vice president of LINE Wangaratta and community engagement officer at Headspace Wangaratta, SewellDolphin was recognised for their continued commitment to empowering the community to improve their mental and social wellbeing through inclusion. They said the award was the perfect encouragement to continue supporting and representing communities who have long been marginalised or vulnerable.

AUSTRALIA DAY

“This award is a great honour - I think it’s absolutely wonderful that I can be recognised for things that I am so passionate about and to keep pushing forward,” they told the Wangaratta Chronicle. “I’m a huge advocate for inclusion in all aspects of everything that I do, and I can’t wait to do more. “This is just another thing to urge me forward and tell me I’m going in the right direction - to be recognised for it means it’s happening and

WANGARATTA it’s going the right way.” Through 2021, they were involved in the Queer Arts Program, LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Practice Conference, Rainbow Trivia Night and North East Rainbow Flag Project, while contributing heavily to programs such as Wangaratta’s Young Creators Market and Headspace’s Care Package Program. Wangaratta’s Australia Day celebrations at King George V Gardens placed an inherent focus on reconciliation and

inclusion, a focus shared by Sewell-Dolphin through her work in the LGBTQIA+ space. Their efforts ensured LGBTQIA+ individuals are increasingly visible, allowing members to actively contribute to the local community and develop strong social connections. Accepting their award, Sewell-Dolphin said the inclusive nature of the Australia Day celebrations was evident this time around. “I love all the inclusion that’s going on today,” they said. “Council even asked if we had rainbow flags because they couldn’t get them in time, so that would have been even better. “But I love it.”

AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS

Platform provided Uncle Dozer lauds reconciliation focus of Australia Dayy ceremonyy BY RYAN MALCOLM rmalcolm@ nemedia.com.au

BPANGERANG Elder Uncle Dozer has thrown his support behind the reconciliation focus of Wednesday’s Wangaratta Australia Day awards, labelling the event “a great opportunity for the Bpangerang people”. The celebration saw Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians come together at King George V Gardens, as locals looked to reflect, respect and celebrate the region’s new citizens and outstanding community achievements. Uncle Dozer said the move was a positive step towards increasing the platform for Indigenous locals. “It’s a great opportunity for the Bpangerang people, the

AUSTRALIA DAY

WANGARATTA traditional owners of this area to be allowed to be on that platform to share some of the injustices, share some of the history that’s affected the traditional owners,” he told the Wangaratta Chronicle. “There are a lot of atrocities that have taken place on Bpangerang country, and we’ve never had that platform to honestly share that with people. “That theme is a great opportunity for non-Indigenous Australians and Indigenous Australians to come together to acknowledge what’s happened in the past and make steps to move forward. “I don’t want to walk in front of you, I don’t want to walk behind you, I want to

INSET: RECONCILIATION FOCUS: Australia Day ambassador Shahid Siddique (left) with Mayor Dean Rees (centre) and Uncle Dozer. PHOTOS: Nick Richards walk beside you so we all become one as Australians.” The event saw Uncle Dozer welcome new citizens to the nation through a smoking ceremony steeped in tradition, inviting each of the five to place a leaf on the smoke to symbolise community acceptance. He said the efforts of the council and Mayor Dean Rees

had been vital in broadening the community conversation and providing an important platform for the local Bpangerang community. “It was a great event and really well received - everyone was really interested in what us as Bpangerang people had to say and share and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “I must commend Dean

Rees and the council, because if we don’t have people like that in places of decision making well then we’re behind the eight ball. “The smoking ceremony has been with the Aboriginal people of this nation since the beginning of time - that action of being able to walk through the smoke, place a leaf on the smoke is regarded

as being very respectful. “It’s used in accepting people into your community or onto your country, so I thought it very fitting to offer the smoking ceremony to the new citizens. “They’ll become part of this community and they’ve got every right as new citizens to know about the Aboriginal community.”

NORTH Wangaratta community group was honoured to hold its first Australia Day celebration in collaboration with the Wangaratta Clay Target Club, who offered their premises for the ceremony. Around 50 local residents attended the ceremony, including three Order of Australia medal recipients and 100 year old Ern Williams with his daughter. The ceremony began with a Welcome to Country, delivered by Jiarra Atkinson, daughter of Uncle Dozer. She spoke about the Indigenous community’s perception of Australia Day and her hopes for future acknowledgement and reconciliation.

This was followed by a talk from Robert Steel about the past and future developments in North Wangaratta. John Booth, president of the gun club, introduced north ward councillor Harvey Benton who addressed the group and presented one of five storyboards to Jimmy Ladgrove, from the Vine Hotel, where they will be displayed on a permanent basis. The storyboards tell the history of the local area. The ceremony wound up thanking everyone who had worked on developing what is hoped to be an annual event in the future and this was followed by a delicious high tea in the club rooms, provided by Anita Klima and Maureen O’Keefe.

Netball needs courted at ceremony

By JENNIFER GARRETT

AN urgent need for new netball courts was the unofficial theme for the Australia Day activities in Whorouly on Wednesday morning. Approximately 80 community members enjoyed a barbecue breakfast at the Whorouly Recreation Reserve and witnessed official proceedings, held in brilliant sunshine beside the current netball court. Master of ceremonies and president of the Whorouly Memorial Park Committee, Trent Newton, welcomed Rural City of Wangaratta councillor Jack Herry and mentioned several times

that the community was still waiting on the urgently needed netball court upgrade. Mr Newton went on to outline some of the activities in Whorouly over the past 12 months, including updates from local committees such as Whorouly Inner Wheel, playgroup, Landcare, CWA, fire brigade, Whorouly Primary School and the many sporting groups, including a very active netball contingent. He also paid respect to

arrivals, which, Mr Newton added, boded well for the future of the community.

He then invited long-time Whorouly resident and active community member Clare Coburn to unfurl the Australian flag. Cr Herry, who had already attended the Everton Australia Day ceremony, reassured the community that detailed designs had been prepared for a grant process for new netball courts in Whorouly. Whorouly’s Young Local Achiever of the Year 2022 awards were then presented to Taleah Elkington and Lily Boyer. The girls were recognised for their outstanding leadership and academic excellence as grade six students at Whorouly Primary School in

2021, and for their fundraising and community activities. The Local Achiever of the Year 2022 was awarded to husband and wife team, Wayne and Debbie Newton, in recognition of their work in the wider community and particularly their contribution to local sporting groups. In accepting the award, Mrs Newton said they did what they did because it needed doing and they loved the community. As a former netball player and having held coaching positions in all grades, she added that it would be great if netballers didn’t have to play on a court that had a crack through the middle.

Perfect celebrations at bushland reserve By BRIAN LAWRENCE

DESPITE earlier predictions of stormy weather, an Australia Day community breakfast celebration was held under bright sunny skies and mild temperatures at the Peechelba Bushland Reserve and Community Centre on Wednesday. Gathering around the lovely green lawn in the delightful bush setting, about 55 community members and friends celebrated the day hosted by the reserve committee. A free breakfast of bacon and

Following breakfast, the program commenced with an address by Kay Williams, a member of the committee, welcoming all to the celebrations. Ms Williams then asked Joy Nish, a committee member and

Warby Ward councillor Irene Grant then addressed the gathering noting a number of projects undertaken by the committee including extensions to the playground and a grant to install a solar electric system on the community centre. The formalities concluded, those gathered then took the opportunity to socialise with friends and neighbours from across the broader Peechelba community.

AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS

Barbecuce shelter opened

REVELLERS at Everton’s Australia Day event took the opportunity to celebrate the little things which made their town special. The highlights of the day were the official opening of the new barbecue shelter, as well as a reflection and recognition of the journey the Everton Bus Shed has taken, from an old tin shack with a couch in it to an art installation which draws the eye of many a motorist along the Great Alpine Road. Following a flag raising ceremony and anthem rendition, Rural City of Wangaratta councillor Jack Herry got up to give the address, as well as formally open the

town’s new barbecue shelter. The shelter, where the majority of the event took place, was the product of three years’ worth of effort and $43,000 in funding from numerous parties including Wangaratta Council, Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, the Everton Hall and Sports Complex committee and some generous local contractors. Following a ribbon cutting ceremony formally de-

claring the shelter open for use, the town reflected on the journey of the now famous Everton Bus Shed. From humble beginnings as a comfy couch in a tin shed for local school kids to wait for the bus in, the love and care shown by the town, and in particular Estelle McCormack and Susan Grey, has turned the shed into a true rural icon. The event concluded with all in attendance joining together to sing the absolute classic national song, The Seekers’ ‘I am Australian’. UNITED: Everton’s Australia Day event brought the town together to celebrate what makes them special.

the local community, enjoying a delightful barbecue meal cooked by the Knights Rugby Football Club. Glenrowan Primary School students Charlie, Sam and Jake Briggs raised the Australian flag, and were presented with appreciation gifts by Cr Rees and Ms Maxwell. Di Duursma was announced as the winner of the 2022 Community Award, with Mr Lyman reading Di’s citation and Mr McCurdy presenting the award.

The mother of five was recognised for her many years of voluntary service to the local and wider North East community, inspiring others with her passion to help those in need of support, most recently witnessed through her pivotal role in establishing the Wangaratta Night Shelter, which was named the Rural City of Wangaratta’s event project of the year at the main Australia Day celebrations in Wangaratta.

Top honour for Helen McIntosh BEECHWORTH’S Helen McIntosh has been recognised for outstanding voluntary service to the Beechworth community with her appointment to the Order of Australia announced in this year’s Australia Day Honours awards where she received a medal of the order (OAM). “I’m very happy and honoured to be awarded an OAM but it’s surreal to receive one as many people have done similar things,” the humble 80-year-old said. Born into a family entrenched in local life, Helen’s passion as a volunteer in the community has been ingrained from an early age with her enthusiasm to help others continuing throughout her life. She said she had followed in the steps of her mother as a dedicated Red Cross volunteer who had been awarded life membership. “My mum made cakes for the local footy club too,” Helen said. She attributed recognition of the award to her family - three daughters Jenny, Sue and Jane, and late husband Edward (Ted) with their support for her work. “My mum and dad were around in the early years and supported me as well,” she said. Educated at Beechworth Primary School and the local high school where her children also attended, Helen said her voluntary work in helping others began with her interests in supporting her daughters as they grew up, along with other developing interests in the town.

“I was a member of many school committees including being on the high school council as well as running the school canteen, but the latter was paid work,” she said. Managing the high school canteen for 21 years, Helen said it took her a long time to retire from the role as she enjoyed it so much. “It was great to be part of the school community and getting to know the kids,” she said. Her countless special memories included arranging many school reunions and helping to organise the Beechworth Primary School centenary anniversary celebrations in 1975. “We had a very big day which was really special for me because I went to school there and my kids went there too,” she said. Red Cross Emergency relief is another role for Helen who with two other local branch members travelled to Lilydale in the Dandenongs last year to help out with outreach after severe damaging storms. “One of our jobs was checking on people with door-knocks to make sure they were okay,” she said. Helen also supported people after the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. Another memory was starting

BEECHWORTH Cubs in Beechworth in her late teenage years when she trained as the first Cub Scout leader that added to Scout training for boys in the town. “When I was at school we had Brownies as part of Girl Guides but nothing for boys,” Helen said. “I loved doing that and that time has many good memories,” she said. “The Cubs formed a guard of honour when I got married.” She was an original community member who started the town’s Op Shop where Helen still gives her time, helps with Meals on Wheels, and had been a supervisor for the ‘Walking School Bus” which ran for the last decade until it stopped last year due to COVID impacts. “I loved getting to know the kids and hearing their stories,” she said. “With volunteering you have all these great experiences and memories that you would not otherwise have, and you get more out of it than you put in. “Being involved with community and having interaction with people as a volunteer has all been very enjoyable and rewarding for me.” A member of the local Red Cross for more than three decades joining in 1989, Helen received a 30 year long service

medal in 2019, and the Red Cross Service Award presented at Government House in 2016. She has knitted hundreds of trauma teddies as well to give to children in need. Other awards have included Indigo Shire’s Australia Day Beechworth Citizen of the Year in 2010, and the Lions’ International Award for Outstanding Community Service in 2015. Beechworth branch Red Cross chairperson Julia Smith said Helen as the longest serving member has been a committed and dedicated volunteer. “She is a valuable and highly respected team member who always puts her hand up to help,” she said. “It’s a great privilege to know Helen and she is very worthy of the award which is well-deserved.” Long-time Red Cross member Gwen Gray said Helen is an inspiration and a great example to the town with her loyalty, compassion and a willingness to help anyone. Helen was involved in basketball, badminton and swimming and also taught children to swim. She is a member of the local Probus Club, a Church of England Parish member, an Indigo calling member for Beechworth Health Service - a volunteer telephone visiting program for community members, and was a founding member of the former local Neighbourhood Watch committee.

NORTH EAST NATURALLY

Striated Pardalote the treetop specialist By IAN DAVIDSON and CHRIS TZAROS THROUGHOUT the world in almost every type of forested environment, there is an array of small birds which forage mainly for insects among the canopy foliage. In Australia, these birds mainly comee from two families - the thornbills/ gerygones, and the pardalotes. Pardalotes are endemic to Australia and they have evolved over thousands of years to be well-suited to ecosystems dominated by eucalyptus trees. Their tiny size - no larger than a gum m leaf - allow them to dangle from even the spindliest branchlets, and their short stubby bills have a tiny hooked tip which allows them to glean insects from relatively flat surfaces such as leaves and leaf stems. Psyllid insects are common in Australian eucalypt woodlands - these tiny sap-suckers extract nutrients and moisture from leaves and they secrete a sugary substance, known as lerp, which dries and forms a protective cover over the insect. Lerp and psyllid insects form the main diet of the Striated Pardalote, and given this species occurs right around Australia, they are very important ecologically in controlling numbers of these insects which, in

severe infestations, can defoliate trees and even large areas of vegetation. In the North East, three subspecies of the Striated Pardalote are known to occur, though many observers may struggle to see the difference. The most frequently encountered is known as the ‘inland’ form which is identified by having a red spot in the wing and a broad white wing stripe. The ‘south-eastern’ form also has a red spot but a narrow white wing stripe. The ‘Tasmanian’ form is rarely seen in the region but can occur during autumn-winter. It is distinguished by having a yellow wing spot and narrow white wing stripe. Binoculars and good close observation is usually required to be able to spot these differences. Given their small size and treetop habits, Striated Pardalotes are best detected by their calls. For a small bird, they have quite a voice and they give a variety of different calls throughout the seasons. The most commonly heard call is an oft-repeated choo-choo, and a short churring contact call. Locally, Striated Pardalotes can be found almost anywhere, though they are probably most common in red gums along our creeks and rivers.

REGIONAL NEWS

Porepunkah CFA’s big build By MARTIN DAVIS POREPUNKAH CFA brigade remain hopeful that construction of a large three bay shed adjacent to their existing station will be able to get under way within months. The brigade last November received more than $60,000 through the State Government’s 2021/22 Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program (VESEP), which they’re using with other funds they’ve raised and

Room to grow....and a bushfire session this Sunday had donated towards the near $500,000 project. Brigade captain Mick Dalbosco said last week that start times for the build are to be confirmed by the CFA shortly and “we’re hoping construction will begin in the next couple of months”. He said the expansive new facilities will allow the brigade to better house their current equipment, which are a heavy tanker

and an ultra-light vehicle, with potential to house a small town pumper, as well as allow more modern facilities for members to train. Captain Dalbosco said the redevelopment is needed as Porepunkah and surrounding areas are continuing to grow and the CFA need to be more prepared to combat house fires in the area.

“Getting more diversity in combating structural fires, with higher water pressure and the different pumps is important,” he said. “As the community grows and changes we need to be able to change as well.” In line with fire preparedness, the Porepunkah CFA is holding a Bushfire Awareness information session this Sunday.

The CFA will be on site with the AV van, and Community Fireguard coordinator Maureen Piera will be at the session to provide information to community members who may be interested in preparing themselves and their properties in the event of future fire activity. Brigade community safety coordinator, Kitty Knappstein, said the session

is to keep people up to date with their fire preparations. “These are normally done at the start of the season but given the reasons with la Nina and people stressing around COVID, we have been able to do it a bit later in preparation for the remainder of this year,” she said. The CFA Bushfire Awareness information session will be held this Sunday at the Porepunkah Community Hall from 1.30pm to 3pm.

Kelley sworn in as new Alpine Shire councillor By NATHAN DE VRIES BRIGHT resident Simon Kelley was officially sworn in as an Alpine Shire councillor on Tuesday, after being elected via a countback election conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission last Wednesday. The countback was triggered by the resignation of former councillor Charlie Vincent last month, who left the role to pursue work commitments. The countback was based on the proportional representation process and included all remaining eligible candidates who were not elected at the general election in late 2020. Cr Kelley received 643 first

preference votes during that election, and through the VEC’s countback, beat out fellow candidates Daryl Pearce, Mario Vaccaro, Mickey Fletcher, Kitty Knappstein and JeanPierre Louis Ronco. Alpine Shire mayor cr Sarah Nicholas said she was looking forward to working with Cr Kelley. “We have some very exciting projects which are both under way and planned for our community and it is exciting as a councillor to be part of this,” she said. “Our shire has faced some enormous challenges over the past few years and we as councillors have an important role in helping to rebuild our community and businesses. “Cr Kelley has great,

contemporary experience through his corporate role and it will be excellent to see him bring that to the council table.” Cr Kelley was sworn in at a small ceremony and said the whole process was a bit of a whirlwind. The father of two, who works for AGL Australia, said he had three key focus areas when standing for council in 2020: 1) Putting residents first; 2) Focus on the environment and the economy; 3) Facing into the future. “Our region is unique and getting the balance right between providing for residents and welcoming visitors is getting more and more challenging,” he said. “I will be very focused on this challenge.”

Benalla lauds its local Aussie champs

Getting men talking By MARTIN DAVIS WE have all had that moment where we have bogged the car, tractor or truck and don’t know how to get out, but we always get out somehow. We can also get bogged in our mental health. TAFCO, along with Alpine Shire, is bringing a workshop that’s going to support rural men’s mental health and suicide prevention next month. ‘R U Bogged mate’ has been described as the farmer’s version of r u ok, with founder Mary O’Brien keen to highlight the importance of men’s health to those in rural areas. Ms O’Brien said while there are suicide prevention services available, there is often a disconnect in communicating this to country men. Farmers are more isolated with the stress that comes from running a farm and the emotional toll of having a bad season, drought or failed crops.

R U BOGGED MATE: Founder Mary O’Brien is coming to Whorouly next month to talk about rural men’s mental health. PHOTO: Ange Stirling Photography Kerry Murphy of TAFCO said after seeing Ms O’Brien on the ABC’s Landline program, they thought they had to get her to the areas to give a talk. “An event like this is important for the community as mental health is a massive

issue today,” she said. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), in 2020 alone of all the deaths by suicide, 2384 were men. The average age for men that died from suicide in 2020 was 43.6 years. The ‘R U Bogged mate’

A DRIVER sustained minor injuries after his vehicle left the Great Alpine Road and hit a tree on the outskirts of Myrtleford on Monday afternoon. Sergeant Bernard Murphy of Myrtleford police said the man in his 80s, who was the only occupant, failed to negotiate a sweeping bend and has gone off into a tree near ACJ Alpine Custom Joinery. Sgt Murphy said it’s believed the driver, who was from outside the region, was having a medical issue before the crash occurred. He was attended to by paramedics and was transferred to Wangaratta hospital having sustained minor injuries. No one else was injured and no charges were laid.

Myrtleford car crash

The festival was a huge success for its debut last year and Mr Palmer said the decision was a hard one to make, with new dates likely to be during late October or early November.

THE annual Euroa Music Festival, which was set to take place on March 26 this year, has been postponed by one of its organisers, Adam Palmer, due to the current COVID-19 situation.

Renovation: Children’s bedrooms can be given a fresh style with some easy and affordable DIY Written by | realestateview.com.au in buying HOW do you take your children’s bedroom from drab to dreamy? Renovating remains at an all-time high as Australian homeowners increasingly choose to stay put and update the homes they have outgrown. To avoid a dollar drain on the family budget, there are some creative ways to extend the life of your home by refreshing the children’s bedrooms. When it comes to designing a room your little ones can grow into there is a lot of scope. The Block winners of 2018, Hayden and Sara Vale, have recently transformed an old South Coast house into

a luxury home. Sara loved restyling the children’s bedrooms, taking their personalities into consideration to deliver rooms suited to their current needs with scope for updates. Each striking room encompasses a highly-efficient layout with plenty of storage as well as desk nooks that will take the kids through from their preprimary to high school needs. “When I started designing the kids’ bedrooms, I knew the colour palette I wanted to work with as well as where everything should be placed,” Sara says.

“We used Gyprock Superchek for our plastered walls because we knew the kids would be knocking about and it’s a hard-wearing plasterboard. “We also knew we wanted to create a quieter environment. “The increased density of the plasterboard reduces the sound transmitted between rooms, so even with young children this can have a big impact.” Kirsty and Jesse, 2021’s Blockheads from House 5, stole the limelight recently with their presentation of a stunning little girl’s bedroom. They achieved a fresh whimsical aesthetic with a palette of muted pink and white. By opting to paper a feature wall in a stunning floral pattern that melds with the finishes they achieved an overall feel that is both sophisticated and childlike. With a practical reading nook at the far end of the room, the space can easily be converted from tea parties with well-loved dolls to Tik Tok dance parties with friends. Kirsty and Jesse chose Gyprock’s Concerto cornice to balance with the other design features of the room. “For a modest upgrade investment a cornice can make a stylish impact that suits the changing needs of a child’s bedroom,” says Renee McGinty, GM of marketing for Gyprock. “It’s an important feature of design

that can instantly frame a space,” she says. By painting a cornice in a contrasting colour, there is an immediate impact. While the space should reflect individual preferences, ease of design modification is key as interests develop and change.

JANUARY 28 - FEBRUARY 3 | 2022

Next generation KIA Niro By EWAN KENNEDY KIA has provided information on its next generation Niro, telling us that it demonstrates the company’s rapid progress in becoming a global sustainable mobility solutions provider. Based on the third-generation platform, the new Niro beneﬁts from a larger body to provide more interior space and storage capacity. As is common in almost all new models the Niro’s dimensions have grown over its predecessor, with a length measuring 4420mm, a width of 1825mm, a height of 1545mm, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. It will be offered in several electriﬁed powertrains with hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid and battery electric options. The Niro’s front-end has the latest evolution of Kia’s signature Tiger Face, which extends from the bonnet to the fender below. It will have what Kia says are striking ‘heartbeat’ daytime running

lights and a bold skid plate and cladding serve to enhance the vehicle’s rugged character. The boomerang-shaped C-Pillars with the LED taillights are designed to give it a sporty stance. All-new Kia Niro will have a high-tech 10.25-inch panoramic high-deﬁnition digital display screen that integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment features. The system has been designed to be easy to use with sharp graphics and an intuitive layout. Below the centre screen is an integrated infotainment and climate control system that provide access to important controls without the need to scroll through multiple menus. Many recycled materials are used inside the cabin. The headlining is made from recycled wallpaper, the seats are made from Bio PU with Tencel from eucalyptus leaves. The all-new Niro will be launched with three electriﬁed powertrains: hybrid elec-

tric, plug-in hybrid and battery electric. The HEV Kia is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine, with 77kW and 144 Nm. When combined with the 32kW permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, the HEV model produces a combined maximum power output of 104kW. It will drive the front wheels through a secondgeneration six-speed dualclutch automatic that has been optimised to increase efficiency and reduce weight. Kia’s regenerative braking system enables drivers to choose from a series of regeneration levels to easily slow the car and recuperate kinetic energy to maximise driving range. Cleverly, the system can calculate the amount of regeneration required using radar and road gradient information. The second-generation Niro includes a full complement of Kia’s DriveWise intelligent Advanced Driver

ANOTHER WIN: Astra Falls Creek has been crowned the 2021 Australian Boutique Ski Hotel of the Year, for a sixth consecutive year.

Astra Falls Creek judged best in Australia, again ASTRA Falls Creek has been crowned the 2021 Australian Boutique Ski Hotel of the Year, for a sixth consecutive year. The recognition came at the annual World Ski Awards last week, where Astra was also ranked in the top three boutique ski resorts in the world, up against global ski resort giants from across Australasia, the Americas and Europe. Astra’s proprietor Rosy Seaton, said the awards represent the gold standard in the ski industry experience, “equivalent to the Snow Oscars”. “The awards are voted by the leading ski tourism professionals and ski consumers from around the world,” Ms Seaton said. “After another challenging year, we feel incredibly proud to accept the award on behalf of our dedicated and passionate team that share

in our achievements. “Together we strive for the same vision and shared commitment that makes Astra a success, not only in Australia but within the entire international ski industry.” Astra’s general manager, Shannon Exelby, was equally as thrilled to again be recognised by the most prestigious awards in global ski hospitality. “To be in the top ski experiences worldwide for such a long period is real testament to the world class service that Astra Falls Creek has come to be known for,” she said. “We love what we do here, it is a real pleasure to be part of such a wonderful guest experience. “While we value and appreciate this recognition, the most important recognition comes from our loyal and valued guests together

with our Astra family. “We are delighted that this recognition shines a light on our wonderful team and our guests and are looking forward to winter for 2022. Astra Falls Creek is centrally located within the ski resort, with guests at any of the 20 luxurious rooms or seven apartments able to enjoy ski-in and ski-out access to the slopes in winter, together with an inhouse award-winning day spa and a magnesium swimming pool, sauna and hot tub, modern alpine inspired menu and cocktail bar, or choose from the world class wine cellar. Astra is part of the Traverse Alpine Group, which has other commercial properties on Falls Creek, including Cloud 9, Frying Pan Inn, Huski and Murmeli, as well as Elm Dining - The Yard in Bright and The Boat Shed at Lake Hume.

Bright Brewery Alpine Lager voted best in state BRIGHT Brewery Alpine Lager has been crowned as the best Victorian independent lager after storming up to 32nd on GABS hottest 100 craft beer for 2021 after being ranked at 150 for 2020. The GABS hottest 100 is a fan poll, with craft beer lovers voting for their top five favourite beers from hundreds of breweries.

Bright Brewery marketing manager, Laura Gray, said the local team is thrilled with the result. “It’s a huge achievement for us and we are very excited, it’s the first time this beer has made it into the top 100,” she said. “To be the highest-ranked independent lager in Victoria is a huge honor for us.” Alpine Lager is one of the year round beers that are brewed at Bright’s state of the art brewery.

Too hot for the pool at Long Course Championships WANGARATTA Swimming Club achieved great results in Mildura at the 2022 Victorian Country Long Course Championships last weekend, with a contingent of 15 swimmers stepping up to the blocks for their club. Rising star’s Harry Allen, Max Chandler, Tayah Dickson, Nina Fortaliza, Henry Lee and Gabe Watson all finished in top 10 in their events and progressed to finals. Gabe Watson won bronze medals in men’s 200m breaststroke and 100m butterfly finals, and silver in men’s 50m breaststroke final. Tayah Dickson finished fourth in the 11 and under 50m breaststroke final.

Wangaratta Warriors’ last stand By NATHAN de VRIES

FINISH STRONG: The Warriors and Sam Waite (pictured) have a big weekend of basketball ahead of them, with two matches to finish their season off. PHOTO: Melissa Beattie

THIS weekend marks the final round of basketball the Wangaratta Warriors will suit up for, with a double header of home matches set to round out their season. Sitting at the bottom of the North East Men’s ladder with just the solitary win, the Warriors will not be contesting finals this year. However, there is still pride and enjoyment to be played for, with the Warriors out to defend their home court against Myrtleford Saints tomorrow and Wodonga Wolves on Sunday. The Warriors and Saints have not played off against each other so far this season, but Wangaratta will be looking to avenge their round four loss to the Wolves. The Saturday match against Myrtleford kicks off at 7pm at the Wangaratta Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre, with Sunday’s match against Wodonga starting from 2pm. While the senior play-

ers have had limited success, the juniors have been doing fantastically. The 12 Junior Warriors teams travelled to Bendigo on the weekend to play in the annual three day tournament against teams from around regional Victoria which saw three of the Wangaratta teams make it to grand finals. The U12 Boys were undefeated in all five of their pool games defeating Ballarat, Colac, Mildura, Macedon Rangers, Maryborough and Mildura. The boys then defeated Bendigo in the semi final and finished off their undefeated weekend with an 18 point win in the grand final against Shepparton - Jack Pople was awarded the grand final MVP. The U16 Girls D1 side defeated Horsham, Colac, Wodonga and Sunbury, while narrowly going down to Bacchus Marsh which saw them finish second on the ladder and set up a semi final match up against

Wodonga which the Warriors won by four points. In the grand final against Portland the girls fought tooth and nail, while battling foul trouble and injury and ended up going down 30-28. The U16 Boys D1 side defeated Maffra, Bendigo, Warrnambool and Sunbury, with their only defeat in the pool games being a two point loss to Hamilton. Finishing second on the ladder they played the undefeated Traralgon. The game went into overtime and it took until the very last second for Wangaratta to sneak away with the win seeing them advance through to the grand final against Hamilton. The Warriors hit the court running and won the game 58-29 with Cooper Newton being awarded the grand final MVP. The Junior Warriors now have this weekend off and then head to the Wodonga tournament on February 5 and 6.

Lakers want top six to stand up

COMING off back-to-back losses for the first time in a number of seasons, Yarrawonga Mulwala have the opportunity to redeem themselves in no better way possible. The Lakers face now top ranked Wangaratta Magpies at Stan Hargreaves Oval and will be looking to break their losing streak after falling to City Colts and Delatite in the past two weekends. Yarrawonga Mulwala skipper Reid Clarke said he’s expecting a close match tomorrow. “Given previous performances between the two sides and how they’re tracking it could go either way I think,” Clarke said. “We’re definitely keen for the challenge, especially after a couple of losses the past two weekends. “We’re ready to give it our all.” The pair last met in round

five where the Lakers prevailed by eight runs in a thriller. Clarke believes his top six batters need to stand up if his side’s to get the win. “Our top six is filled with blokes who have A grade experience so I’m happy to put the heat on them to get the job done,” he said. “We really need to build our partnerships, we need to get one up around the 100 mark. “Josh Lawrence returns which will strengthen our top six even more and we’re also looking at bringing in a new bloke to the club in Ben Radford. “He’s an all-rounder and looks

like an A grade cricketer so he’ll be in the mix for selection. “We’re back at home on a good wicket and quick outfield so we’ll target 180 and if we get that sort of score we’ll be right in the mix.” Since cricket returned, Clarke admitted the Lakers have been in all sorts. “Like most teams, we’ve been unsettled with COVID going through the team so we’ve missed Josh (Lawrence) and Matt McCabe who’s one of our leading bowlers the past few weeks. “Harry Wheeler’s also been away but we’re slowly getting everyone back and I’m confident that things will turn.” This year’s WDCA is one of the most even in recent times with the top four all locked up on five wins, three losses. “I think the one day format suits most teams and every-

one’s improving,” Clarke said. “You can’t just do one thing well, you need to bat well, bowl well and field well to win in the competition this year.” Meanwhile, the WDCA has updated the fixture following their decision to scrap the two day games at the end of the year for one-dayers. The Lakers will now face Benalla, Ovens Valley United and Beechworth twice on their run home. “I understand why they’ve done it, it does make it easier to navigate the rest of the year,” Clarke said. “Personally I do like two day matches and I know our club does too so hopefully we’ll see some two day cricket next season. “The two day final last year was a great spectacle.” Tomorrow’s match starts at 1pm.

Tough challenge for Rovers United Bruck BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

ROVERS United Bruck (RUB) will be looking to continue their form when they take on a Beechworth Wanderers squad which can never be counted out tomorrow at the WJ Findlay Oval. The Hawks are coming off a 137-run flogging of Benalla Bushrangers last week, with confidence restored in their ability to score runs. “It was definitely good to get back on the winners list and win pretty well,” RUB skipper Paddy McNamara said. “It was good to get a couple of blokes in form, a couple of blokes got in the runs and wickets. “Everyone’s feeling pretty good and bloody keen to get out there this weekend.” Despite one spot above the wooden spoon position,

A TRUE TEST: RUB skipper Paddy McNamara sees tomorrow’s match against Beechworth as a test for his side, despite a 137-run victory over Benalla last week. PHOTO: Melissa Beattie Beechworth will go into the match with their tails up, having defeated ladderleaders Wangaratta Magpies last weekend. With several players in their line-up who know how to swing the willow, McNamara said the Wanderers would be no pushover. “It’s always tough against Beechworth, especially with their win last week against

‘Maggies’ who are on top,” he said. “You’ve always got to watch out for the Surrey boys (Kayde and Brenton), they both made runs on the weekend. “If we can get through those two, it’s game on - they’re a big key to Beechworth’s success. “Beechworth are always tough to beat when those two are going.”

The Hawks will be without young gun Jez Rigoni for the remainder of the season, a serious blow to both their bowling attack and middle order. “He’s actually moved down to Melbourne for boarding school, so Benalla was his last game of the season with us, unfortunately,” McNamara said. “He’s had a very good

season as a 15 year old, but that’ll be the end of him. “He’s been bowling really well, and he’s batted in the top four or five for us all season - I think he might be coming second in our runs. “He’s done a terrific job, he’s been great the last two seasons but unfortunately for us he’s going down to Melbourne and finishing the cricket season off down there.

“There’re a couple of options with young kids, there might be a debut on the cards, but I haven’t really made my mind up yet.” In other matches around the area, Ovens Valley United play host to Benalla in Myrtleford, City Colts take on Delatite down in Mansfield, and the Magpies travel up to Yarrawonga to face off against the Lakers.

Back-to-back wins for Wareena Park Bowls Club LAST week in round seven of Ovens and Murray Midweek Bowls division B1, the Wareena Park Bowls Club hosted Club Mulwala who were unbeaten. As the home side were still to win a game this was to be a huge challenge. For once everything went Wareena Park’s way and they ran out winners 91 to 41 winning all three rinks. Afterwards it was hard to tell which team was the most shocked. This week in round eight Wareena Park welcomed Moyhu who were also going well. After a close tussle Wareena Park again prevailed 53 to 47 winning two of the three rinks. Next week Wareena Park travel to Swanpool and another win would have them knocking on the door of the top four. Wareena Park recently held their ladies singles championship with the two finalists Alice Dobson and Jan Nugent. Midway scores were level at 13-all in what was a very high standard match. At this point Alice gradually gained the ascendancy and ran out a comfortable winner 26 to 13. Congratulations go to both Alice and Jan.

SPORT

O&M receive invaluable funding OVENS and Murray clubs are set to save money as part of a multimillion dollar AFL support package. The O&M board met on Monday night for the first time this year when key components of the community football funding were revealed. As part of its commitment, the AFL has waived insurance charges. O and M clubs had previously paid around $1250 to the game’s governing body to cover costs related to public liability and personal injury insurance. The AFL has also absorbed the coaching re-accreditation fee. All coaches must have Level One accreditation which costs $50 per year to update online. Also, individual umpires have paid a fee to become a member but that too has been waived. Due to COVID, the O&M has completed around 30 per cent of matches in the past two years. Last year, the O&M completed just 13 of a possible 22 weeks, while 2020 was abandoned. It’s left a massive financial hole for all clubs.

New look Devils?

DANIEL Vasilevski’s troops have returned to training and are gearing up for the 2022 Albury Wodonga Football Association season. An official date hasn’t been set for round one of the soccer season, but like last year, an early to midMarch start looks likely. After spectacularly standing down from the head coach role in November, Vasilevski has changed his mind and will lead the Devils for a fourth straight year. “We’ve been back for a couple of weeks now

and the numbers are getting bigger and bigger,” Vasilevski said. “It’s been good to see a number of young players training with us like Alex Pitt who’s only 16 but has returned to the club from Murray United.

“We’ve also got a couple of practice matches locked in too so preparations are well under way.” The Devils are set to face state league clubs Keilor Park and Craigieburn City. It will be a new look Wangaratta City squad this year with the club already losing a number of key players. “Ryan Luty has gone to Albury United and I haven’t seen Jordan Hore yet either

- I think he wants to have a year off,” Vasilevski said. “I tried to speak to ‘Burchy’ (Adam Burchell) a few weeks ago but he was in the UK, he’s yet to commit but I’ll talk to him in the next few weeks and see what he’s doing. “We’re talking to a few players at the moment but they’re yet to commit, the biggest inclusion is Josh Masters who returns so he’s a great in for us.

“Stoycho Ivanov, Lachie Campbell, Dan Kelly, Rahul Pahina have all signed on though and Jordan Vellian has returned to the club.” Vasilevski highlighted what areas of the pitch the club will be looking to target. “Our back four is looking strong but we probably need a midfielder as well as a forward to support Dan Kelly,” he said. “We probably are a bit

behind the eight ball at the moment with recruiting so we need to get cracking.” With COVID-19 more prevalent than ever, Vasilevski expects to see many players in and out of squads with the virus this season. “It’s spreading like crazy now and I can’t imagine it’s going to stop,” he said. “Unlike the past few years though the season will probably go on but clubs are going to lose players because of COVID so having younger players to chop and change will be important.”
