THE team at Esso Australia are committed to maintaining our supply of essential energy to Australia while striving to achieve meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. One of our most exciting developments recently is our agreement with Air Liquide which will see CO2 extracted from Gippsland gas captured and reused across Australian industries. On March 11, the Hon. Darren Chester MP presided over a ground-breaking ceremony at Longford Gas Plants for the construction of the new Air Liquide CO2 processing facility and pipeline. By partnering with Air Liquide and developing this new facility, we will be able to provide CO2 from our operations to customers for beneficial use, whilst supporting our emission reduction goals and maiinttaiiniing our supplly off essenttiall energy gy y to Australia. We are also excited to announce we
have made a final investment decision to develop additional gas from the Gippsland Basin Kipper field and advancing funding decisions to optimise production from the Turrum field. These investments of up to $400 million could deliver an estimated 200 petajoules of gas over the next five years and help avert winter supply risks in Australia. As we continue to invest in our operations so that we can continue to reliably deliver the gas Australia needs, it is imperative that we have a strong and resilient workforce. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our four new apprentices that joined the Longford team last month. Eli Fraser and Nathan Richardson commenced their four-year mechanical apprenticeship, while Brody Dobson and Jacob Williams are pursuing electrical insttrumenttattion apprentticesh hipss. Longf gford f apprentices are enga aged through our innovative and successful
apprenticeship program, run in partnership with WPC, which won the coveted first place position for the Australian Training Awards last year, and was recently commended by the Hon. Jaala Pulford, Employment Minister. This will be my final Longford Plants update as I am moving to take on a new opportunity with ExxonMobil. I leave my role in the capable hands of Clinton Gentle, who has over two decades of experience working with ExxonMobil in various roles in Australia and abroad. It’s been a pleasure working back at Longford Gas Plants over the last two years and getting to know our neighbours and local community. For more information about our operations or our community initiatives please feel free to email communityANZ@exxon mob bil.com.

Olivia’s lasting legacy Stefan Bradley
OLIVIA Grace Stevens saw the world in a different way. According to Olivia’s mother Yana Stevens, she saw life from a happy angle. “Olivia loved the world, she loved people, she loved nature, and she loved art,” Yana said. While Olivia may no longer be here, her love of the world, and Olivia herself, has been memorialised in a wonderful mural painted on the side of Heyfield Family Dental Care, where Yana is the principal dentist. Olivia was six years and nine months old when she was tragically killed during a playdate on September 11, 2021. “Bye Mum, I’ll be fine,” were the last words Olivia said to Yana as she dropped her off at the playdate. Olivia and six other children, all under 10, were passengers on an ATV buggy when it rolled over at a farm in Rosedale. Olivia was airlifted to hospital, but she died from her injuries. The other kids survived. The driver of the ATV buggy, who was a friend of the family, has been charged over the incident. Yana said the family’s world was completely turned upside down that day and will never be the same. “We miss her every day. We cry for her every day. We wake up and think of her, and then go to bed thinking of her,” Yana said “People need to be careful with children's lives. You can never recover from it. You learn to live with it, but you cannot replace a child.” Olivia’s tragic passing immediately had an effect on the community. “Farmers tell me that Olivia’s legacy is their greater focus on safety. They say they don’t allow children to go on ATV buggy vehicles anymore. They are for work, not for fun,” Yana said. “Even if we’re not farmers ourselves, anyone like us can find themselves on a farm, where things do happen. I just think adults need to be more careful around children on a farm.” The family wanted the memories of their precious child with a big kind heart to keep going, and eventually the idea of a mural came along. The mural was painted by Loch Sport-based artist and designer Simon White.
On the corner of the mural you can find fii Olivia’s poem which she wrote at the age of 5, sitting on the beach on Apollo Bay in the late evening and observ rving v the world around her. It reads: The moon is shining The birds are singing The flowers fll are growing The people are walking The children are playing The stars are glowing And everyone is happy. - Olivia Grace Stevens
Olivia’s mother Yana Stevens. The mural shows Olivia blowing kisses with butterflies and surrounded by majestic pink flamingos and rainbows. It’s full of colours and happiness, just like she was.
“One of Olivia’s favourite songs was ‘Pink Flamingo’, which is about pink flamingos flying in the sky. She was learning the song on the ukulele,” Yana said. Mr White, who is known for his murals, classic portraits, landscapes, and urban street scenes, immediately said yes to Yana’s request when she reached out. The design is based on a photo that Yana took of Olivia in August. “Yana and I discussed the mural over a number of months,” Mr White said. “I was nervous and anxious, but Yana was so supportive, and she helped me make corrections to Olivia’s face, which I wanted to get right. It took me three days to paint, but I started from 7am and worked until about 8pm. “I wanted to create something that shows Olivia's bright side and her personality. So I introduced a lot of colours. The pink flamingos and butterflies create that happiness. I never met Olivia, but members of the community, from ages 5 to 85, told me she was a lovely person who could connect with everyone. I really wanted to convey that.” “We are forever grateful to Simon White for Olivia’s mural,” Yana said. “We have many people drive in from different areas of Victoria just to come visit Olivia’s mural and take photos of it.” Olivia’s two brothers, Kobi, 9, and Thomas, 2, miss her very much and remember her every day. Their dad Scott loved Olivia so much, and recently bought a pink ukulele to put in her bedroom. Olivia’s friends at Gippsland Grammar continue to leave letters at her grave. Olivia found serenity and zen sitting on the side of the river, listening to water, and drawing on rocks. Olivia’s grandmother Maree Stevens continues this by drawing beautiful creations on rocks and leaving them around Heyfield Wetlands or the playground, signing them OGS for Olivia Grace Stevens. Yana hopes the mural will keep Olivia’s legacy going for years to come. “She used to stand up to bullies and protect children around her, even though she was a tiny, petite little girl, she had that strength inside her and resilience,” she said. “I was always amazed at how strong she was, she used to teach people to be nice.”

Longford Heliport reunion
FORMER employees of The Longford Heliport travelled from interstate for a reunion on April 23 held in The Balcony and Macalister Rooms of The Criterion Hotel. They joined some local ex-employees and current employees and their partners in an evening relating to days gone by. Some people had not met up in the last 40 years. The date was set to coincide with the weekend of The Anzac Airshow at West Sale, a number of ex-employees were former RAAF members. The Longford Heliport was established in the late 1960s as a Helicopter Base for the support of the offshore oil and gas fields. From all reports from the almost 80 attendees it was a marvellous and memorable event. The slideshow reminded everyone how they looked all those years ago.

Billionaire’s AGL call
Timber course GIPPSLANDERS can learn more about how to get work in the timber industry with a new free, three-day course being offered to local jobseekers, students or transitional workers. The forestry taster program is being run by the Gippsland Forestry Hub with funding from Responsible Wood to encourage more people into the industry. Gippsland Forestry Hub general manager Lesia Clark said the pilot course was the first of its kind in Victoria, looking at jobs with focus on plantations. Ms Clark said the industry was suffering from high job vacancy rates, with a range of local employment opportunities across the sector. The Gippsland Forestry Taster will be run on June 20 to 22 and June 27 to 29 from 9am to 3pm at the Morwell Innovation Centre.

GP1639937
SYDNEY-BASED tech billionaire Mike CannonBrookes is urging AGL shareholders to vote against the company's planned demerger after he became its largest shareholder last week. Mr Cannon Brookes' Grok Ventures purchased an 11.28 per cent share in the energy company with the aim of derailing AGL's plans to split into two separate entities by June 30. AGL plans to syphon its coal and gas assets into the new company Accel Energy, while AGL Australia would control the company's retail arm and some renewables. But Mr Cannon-Brookes has stated that "Grok strongly believes the demerger represents a terrible outcome for AGL shareholders, AGL customers, Australian taxpayers and Australia". Mr Cannon-Brookes had made two previous attempts to acquire AGL with the aim of speeding up its coal closures, but the company board said the bids were not in the interests of shareholders. He said the AGL board had made a series of mistakes and was far too slow to act on decarbonisation or adopt new technologies, which has resulted in this "sub-optimal" demerger plan. "By not transitioning fast enough away from fossil fuels, the board has presided over AGL's value plummeting to the tune of almost 70 per cent in five years," Mr Cannon-Brookes said. "Sweating old coal plants which are expensive to run, and increasingly breakdown like we're seeing today with Loy Yang A is not economical or responsible. It makes no sense ... or cents." It comes as unit two at Loy Yang A had gone offline last month in an unplanned outage, with the company fearing it may not come back into service until August. Mr Cannon-Brookes said the demerger would create two weaker, interdependent companies with significant operating risk and dis-synergies. He said Accel Energy would not be able to fund its transition or meet its liabilities due to high leverage, thermal coal exposure, significant remediation costs and a reduced appetite for coal. "We intend to vote every AGL share we control at the relevant time against the demerger, and we call on fellow AGL shareholders to vote against

Celebrating classic cars this weekend THE Gippsland Vehicle Collection at Maffra will host one of just three Victorian events to mark National Motoring Heritage Day on Sunday, May 15. The Gippsland event is being jointly hosted by the Classic and Custom Japanese Motorcycle Club and the Gippsland Vehicle Collection. Event organiser Shaun Lennard of the Custom and Classic Japanese Motorcycle Club (CCJMC) encourages anyone with a classic bike or car to attend. “The theme of National Motoring Heritage Day is ‘drive it day’,” Mr Lennard said. “This isn’t a concourse event with judging and prizes. “The aim of Motoring Heritage Day is to get as many older cars and bikes out for the day, including vehicles that people might not normally want to take to a car show. “Of course, immaculate classics are also very much welcome!”
& & " & , $$!
% # ,
Mr Lennard will be displaying his own car on the day – a 1979 Holden VB Commodore SL/E V8. The Commodore was purchased by Mr Lennard second-hand for $10,000, not long after his 21st birthday, and has remained in his possession ever since. It’s estimated that there are just 20 examples of the car left in Australia, which is now worth upwards of $40,000. Mr Lennard insists that he won’t part with the car: “I’ve never once thought about selling it,” he said. National Motoring Heritage Day is fostered by the Association of Motoring Clubs, and is held annually on the third Sunday of May. Victorian events were cancelled in both 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the AMC has eschewed its traditional venue of the Yarra Glen Racecourse to instead back smaller, community-based events – including in Maffra. There is no charge to enter vehicles or to view the display in the grounds of The Maffra Shed on the day. “There are thousands of red-plate (club registered) cars and motorcycles across Gippsland, so we’re hoping for a good turnout before the winter weather arrives,” Mr Lennard said. The Gippsland Vehicle Collection will be open at the discounted admission charge of $10 per adult. The motor museum’s current display has two themes – British Sports Cars, and Italian Cars and Bikes. Additionally, a sausage sizzle will be available to support the Lions Club of Maffra. The display runs from 10am until 3pm, with display vehicle owners encouraged to arrive early.

Gippsland Grammar is set for Tour & Tea HOW do you take your tea? Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper takes hers white with no sugar and she’d like to invite Gippslanders to join her for a cuppa or two at the school’s upcoming ‘Tour & Tea’ events. The Tour and Teas will be held tomorrow (May 11) and Thursday, June 14 from 9am-10.30am on both days and offer an opportunity for interested families to tour the leading independent school’s senior Garnsey Campus before joining Mrs Harper for a cup of tea and a chat. It’s the first time the public will be able to tour the school’s new Arts & Design Centre, which was only opened to students earlier this month at the beginning of Term 2. Mrs Harper said the events will appeal to students and parents looking at secondary school options for 2023 and beyond. “Every child deserves a great education,” Mrs Harper said. “Gippsland Grammar values, and has delivered, quality education for nearly 100 years. I am proud to be the principal of this amazing school and I extend my personal invitation to each and every local with an interest in our school.” More than 80 families recently attended the school’s Garnsey Open Day and these midweek events offer a more casual opportunity to further explore the school’s facilities. Mrs Harper will be joined by members of the school’s Leadership Team as well as student leaders who will escort families on the tours, ensuring the tours offer a unique first-hand perspective on student life.
“I am proud to be the principal of this amazing school and I extend my personal invitation to each and every local with an interest in our school.” LEISA HARPER Visitors are asked to RSVP to Gippsland Grammar Enrolments Team via the school’s website: www.gippslandgrammar.vic.edu.au/ Gippsland Grammar students are among some of Victoria’s highest achieving students with the school’s 2021 cohort among some of Victoria’s highest achieving Year 12 students last year. Twenty one per cent of the school’s Year 12 students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) above 90 and 38 per cent above 80, which placed them in the top 10 per cent, and 20 per cent, in the state respectively. Gippsland Grammar is also proud to acknowledge the 21 students from the 2021 cohort who made a successful transition into the workforce through an apprenticeship or traineeship. Gippsland Grammar is also the only boarding school east of Melbourne’s suburban fringe and is a home-away-from-home for students from far East Gippsland, South Gippsland, Victoria’s High Country and the Latrobe Valley as well as for a cohort of international students.

Providing nappies where they are needed the most MEMBER for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien is encouraging locals to contribute to the Nappy Collective Giving Project. Mr O’Brien recently handed over hundreds of donated, unused disposable nappies to Uniting Care to distribute locally. The state parliamentarian collected the nappies at his office as a drop-off point for the project. “This is a great initiative that I take part in yearround and as always we have had an overwhelming response from the local community,” Mr O’Brien said. “Despite the tough times that our region has faced over the past few years we have continued to be inundated with donations that will prove extremely useful to a lot of families who continue to do it tough. “This project is locals helping locals and I know that Uniting will ensure these nappies go directly to those who need them most.” The Nappy Collective is an Australian charity that aims to assist families who do not have enough nappies to change their children as often as they need to, known as “nappy stress”. The Nappy Collective reports that around 280,000 children in 150,000 families experience nappy stress in Australia each year. By donating nappies, this stress is relieved and allows for children to be changed more often. This, in turn, also allows parents to afford to pay for other essential items, such as food and bills. Mr O’Brien said he will continue to be a participant in the Nappy Collective Giving Project and that he encourages people to continue to drop off donations of unused disposable nappies to his Sale office at any time. A full list of donation drop off points as well as more information about the Nappy Collective Giving Project is available at www.thenappy collective.com.

Workshop aiming to defeat homelessness in Wellington Numerous stakeholders, including Wellington Shire Council Mayor Ian Bye (second from right), Councillor Carolyn Crossley (third from right) and workshop facilitator Cath Smith attended the workshop on May 4. Photo: Tom Parry
STAKEHOLDERS from across the Wellington Shire have come together in an effort to address the region’s shortage of affordable housing. The Wellington Shire Housing and Homelessness Workshop took place on Wednesday, May 4, at the Port of Sale building. Approximately 30 people participated in the Workshop, including representatives from Wellington Shire, the state government, and numerous local advocacy groups. Workshop facilitator Cath Smith views the event as an opportunity to bring people from different sectors together. “We can sit around talking about the problem, but we need to bring the problem to the people who’ve got the tools and resources to help solve it,” Ms Smith said. “So what we’ve been talking about is, what kind of housing do we need and for whom? “Who might be able to work together, to come up with some solutions to that?” Timing for the event couldn’t be more appropriate, with Ms Smith noting that the price of rent had gone up dramatically in the past year for locals. “For people who can’t afford a full rent – particularly single people on low incomes, sole parents, or people who are not working – it’s
virtually impossible to find anywhere to live at the moment,” Ms Smith said. “There isn’t any rental housing available, and people can’t afford it.” Ms Smith’s concerns are backed by data from the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH). According to a DFFH Private Rental Report, published in December 2021, the median price of rent in the Wellington Shire had risen by 24 per cent for a two-bedroom flat, and 15.6 per cent for a three-bedroom house, when compared to data released in 2020. The amount of new listings dropped by seven percent in that same period. Additionally, a paltry 31.1 per cent of properties were affordable to people on welfare. Adding to this stress, there are currently 1543 people listed on the Victorian Household Register in the East Gippsland and Wellington Shires. The total public housing stock for both Shires is 1054. Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye was one stakeholder in attendance at the Workshop, who is also keen on addressing the housing shortage. Speaking to the Gippsland Times, Cr Bye noted that the state government offered to build new housing on spare land belonging to council as part its Big Build initiative. Wellington Shire was unable to accept the
government’s offer because it did not have any excess land suitable for development. “We don’t have a lot of surplus land, because it’s not what we do – we don’t accumulate land,” Mayor Cr Bye said. He also noted that, while Wellington Shire wanted to rectify the issue, housing is typically the state government’s responsibility. “We’re always out talking to Uniting Care and other organisations to try and help, but that shouldn’t be our position – it should be the state government’s position to do that.” Ms Smith also expressed a desire for the state government to do more. While she acknowledged that the government is spending “a lot of money” on building housing, and is working with community housing providers and local government, Ms Smith said that Wellington Shire had not received its fair share of resources. “Part of today was to talk about that, and to talk about how Wellington Shire might get its fair share of Victorian government resources,” Ms Smith said. “(Council) have got a priority around social and affordable housing, so a number of us are very keen to be able to work with the Shire to support them to deliver that.” Wellington Shire will now write to the state government to discuss the matter further.

so we have a great hard working team. We have a great hair salon vibe here, our staff have fun at work, and we’re very welcoming to all who walk in.” Despite their many years and experience in the hair industry, Ms Knight says they have to brush up their skills to keep up with the changing trends. “People will come in and ask for something specific, and you got to know what to do,” Ms Knight said. Ms Sim said that clients will mention celebrity names or influencers they found on Instagram. “We got to Google these people, and we find that it’s the young girls who are the first to mention the new trends, they’re right onto it,” Ms Sim said. Ms Knight said that many clients are looking for upstyling and special occasion styling for weddings, debs and valedictories. “And they want what’s on trend, and what’s trending now is big Hollywood curls and braids. We see Hollywood curls everywhere.”

PURE Envy and Co hair studio co-owners Jamella Sim and Tayla Knight will this month mark three years since they’ve entered into a business partnership. “I started my apprenticeship here as a first-year, and in May it will be three years since I entered a business partnership with Jamella, who has taught me everything I know,” Ms Knight said. Ms Knight has been working at the Maffra hair studio for 10 years. “Tayla Knight was my apprentice,” Ms Sim said. “We’ve worked together for years.” Ms Sim has been hairdressing for 17 years, and partnered with Ms Knight a few months before COVID hit. “Jamella knew what she was doing, so she’s been able to show me the ropes. So it was good to have each other as backup,” Ms Knight said. Ms Sim laughed and said she didn’t know what she was doing during COVID. “COVID made us busier if anything, because we had weeks of clients cancelling, and then we had to bring them all back in while our regulars made bookings, so a lot of haircuts,” Ms Sim said. “I don’t think I would have been able to survive COVID as a business owner by myself, because I have two kids and it was stressful cancelling thousands of dollars’ worth of clients. “To have someone else there with you, saying that you got this, I would not like to have done by myself. They were tough times for sure, but tough times teach you lessons.” Ms Knight said that clients wanted to return to normal, pre-pandemic life. “They want to come in and get their hair done and go out,” Ms Knight said. “A haircut is something you can’t buy online.” Even in January during the first Omicron wave, the hair studio had a massive waiting list of clients. “For a few weeks we had staff away who caught COVID, but they got it when they weren’t at the studio. They caught it on the weekend and we are closed on Mondays, so we didn’t have to close,” Ms Sim said. “Right now there’s seven of us in the hair studio,

THREE AND FOUR YEAR-OLD KINDERGARTEN
“To dream big, our kids need the best start in life”
The state government is investing almost $5 billion over a decade to introduce universal funded Three-Year-Old Kindergarten – and next year services are able to offffer f a range of Three Year Old Programs. Some serviices wiill offfer separatte Three Year Old and Four Year Old groups; other services will offer a combined group of Threes and Fours. Either way your child will be able to have two years of funded kindergarten. This means another year of learning, growing, playing and making friends for Victorian children. Taking part in a quality kindergarten program from the age of three boosts children’s learning, development, health and wellbeing outcomes. Play-based learning is how young children learn best. It gives children the opportunity to use their imagination, build their language skills and learn about numbers and patterns. They also
learn how to get along with others, share, listen and manage e their emotions. It is important fo or families to see what is on offffer f so they can choose the best group for their child when sttarting their kinder journey. Some children will thrive best in smaller groups with their peers, some three-year-olds may find two days better than three days, some may like three days. Next year there will be a variety of groups on offer so families should take the opportunity to visit centres on their Open Day and speak to the teachers and educators. Families are encouraged to Look for the Kinder Tick when looking for kindergarten for both three and four-year-olds. When you see the Kinder Tick, you can be confident that the program will be led by a qualified teacher, the children will benefit from play-based learning, that it is a program funded and approved by the state government and the program complies with the National Quality Framework.

State government commitment The state government recently announced $3.8 million in grants for eligible kindergarten services to support ventilation improvements, and keep children and staff safer at kinder, and give families confidence that early learning is safe.
The grants, building on more than $7.5 million the state government has already delivered to early childhood services for ventilation, are supporting the purchase of air purifiers for learning spaces or other improved ventilation. In 2021, the state government announced the largest investment in ventilation in schools in the nation – investing more than $190 million in initiatives to help keep schools COVIDSafe and protect the health of students, staff and school communities.
Ingrid Stitt EARLY CHILDHOOD MINISTER
"Strong ventilation measures are crucial to keep our youngest learners – and the dedicated staff who care for them – safe, and we’re proud to be delivering more support for them to improve ventilation and keep our early learning services open,” Early Childhood Minister Ingrid Stitt said.
Helpful hints for parents
So your little one is heading to kindergarten for the first time. Here are seven sensational hints if they are a bit daunted by the prospect.
1.The night before Preparation is the key. Parents must remember to confirm any transportation and let your child know what the plans are. If you are walking to school, review the route and remind your child what time and where you will collect them.
Tuesday 17th and Thursday 19th May
2. Share stories about kindergarten
Come in and have a look around, meet the educators and discuss your options for 2023
Reflect on your own kindergarten experiences with your child. Kids love knowing that mum and dad was in their shoes once.
3.Toilet routines are vital Being able to use the toilet is important. Help your child practice using toilet facilities and washing their hands in public places. And don't forget that flush.
4. Label everything GP1642293
Any parent or teacher who has been through
this experience will tell you to label personal belongings. Jumpers, hats, lunch boxes and drink bottles are the main items to get your child's moniker on.
5. Get to bed at a good time There’s few things worse than starting kinder after not enough sleep the night before. We've all been there.
6. Play games that build skills At this age your child will learn more from you than any book. Nurture a love of reading or play games that require your child to raise their hand. It will encourage confident in answering the teacher's question and also develop patience if they miss out on a turn.
7. Don't worry too much There’s a big build-up to the opening day of kindergarten. But within the space of a couple of weeks, you'll forget what all the fuss was about and so will your child because they are having so much fun. And one for parents - make sure to get heaps of photos of that first day for posterity.

Make the right choice for the start of your child’s educational journey
Parents are often asked which school they intend to send their children to, but perhaps a more important question is which kindergarten they think is the best place for the first chapter in their child’s educational journey. Gippsland Grammar’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) offers three and four-year-old kindergarten programs that are tailored to meet the needs of young students and ensure their first schooling experience is positive and happy. The St Anne’s ELC three-year-old ‘Reception’ program offers two full days on either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday from 8.30am-3pm. The four-year-old ‘Transition’ program is three full days, either Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, also from 8.30am-3pm. For working families, after-school care is available until 6pm. Gippsland Grammar’s ELC director Lisa Burgess said the first five years of a child’s life are a time when critical learning skills are being developed. “These skills lay the foundation for later success and a high-quality early learning program is important to give children the tools
Gippsland Grammar’s Early Learning Centre director Lisa Burgess reads a book to the three-year-old ‘Reception’ class at the St Anne’s ELC.
they need to become independent, resilient, kind, respectful and adaptable members of our community,” Mrs Burgess said. “The focus of our ELC programs is a high-quality learning experience with highly qualified and caring teachers and educators who are trained to support and extend each child’s learning. “These early years are crucial years of intellectual, social, spiritual and physical growth. “At the ELC the children are immersed in an environment which provides plenty of early
literacy and numeracy experiences, a mix of adult and child-directed learning, as well as opportunities for open-ended interest-based exploration.” Aligned to the Gippsland Grammar Academic Care Principles the ELC upholds the School’s five core values of compassion, leadership, excellence, respect and responsibility. Daily programs at Gippsland Grammar ELC integrate the arts, science, mathematics and language, the development of thinking skills, growth mindset precepts and education about sustainability. They are enriched by weekly specialist lessons in Music, Japanese and a Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). Children also attend the library each week to borrow books and each child in the Transition Program (four and five year olds) has their own special Year 5 ‘buddy’. While the Early Learning Centre has its own safe enclosed areas within St Anne’s Campus, the children can see and interact with older children and become very comfortable with the idea of being part of the ‘big school’ from an early age.
Mrs Burgess said this helped make the transition into Foundation at Gippsland Grammar successful and seamless and the ELC teachers work closely alongside the St Anne’s Foundation educators and specialist staff to fully utilise the School’s resources. The St Anne’s ELC boasts beautiful purposebuilt playrooms and nature-based play spaces with a strong focus on individual attention in a calm, focused and intentional environment. “Our staff are experts in providing nurturing and care as each child begins their education,” Mrs Burgess said. “And of course, they also know how much little children enjoy activities such as painting, blocks, Play-Doh, craft and sensory play and ensure that each day is filled with exciting and educational activities that promote each child’s academic, social, emotional, physical and language development.” Families currently considering the best place for the first chapter in their child’s educational journey can call Lisa Burgess on 5143 7123 or email ELC@gippslandgs.vic.edu.au The ELC is currently accepting enrolments for 2023 and beyond.

Jude’s sights on Saturday Stefan Bradley
Jude Perl at The Wedge.
Photo: Contributed
THE Wedge will see the return of masterful singer, songwriter and comedian Jude Perl to Sale when she performs her brand new show The Participation Award on Saturday, May 14. Ms Perl was a hit when she helped launch The Wedge’s 2022 season in February, and her new show is an entertaining and hilarious musical comedy exploration of bullying and our school system. Jude Perl’s unique style of songwriting brings to life this show that begs the age-old question - why does school suck so much? Many of the songs featured can be heard on Ms Perl’s album released last month, also called Participation Award. Ms Perl described Participation Award to the Gippsland Times as a one-person theatre show. “It’s a narrative with songs, scenes and sketches that I perform. There’s an overarching story that’s told,” Ms Perl said. “It’s about going to school in the 90s.” “I love performing at The Wedge. It’s a nice theatre and I really love the piano there. The restaurant there was buzzing when I was last there and the people were lovely. 10 out of 10.”
Hot stuff at The Wedge tonight Tom Parry
THE Sale Film Society is going old-school for this month’s screening, being held tonight at The Wedge.
May’s pick is the 1959 romantic-comedy Some Like It Hot, often considered one of the funniest movies of all-time. Starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and “blonde bombshell” Marilyn Monroe, the picture tells of two men outrunning the mafia by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band. Society secretary Gerard Callinan first recalls seeing Some Like It Hot on television “back in the 70s or 80s” and enjoyed it enormously. “It is a film that still brings a smile to my face when I recall it 30 or 40 years later, and there aren't many films you can say that about,” Mr Callinan said. “It has one of the truly great directors in William Wilder driving the production. “He co-wrote, produced and directed the movie which immediately lifts it above the ordinary. “Added to that are quite brilliant performances from Curtis, Lemon and Monroe and a script that is just brilliantly funny. “You can't go wrong, really!” With the film being of such acclaimed status, the Society is expecting a big turnout and encouraging members to bring a friend along. The screening is free to existing Society members and $5 to non-members. Those in attendance will also have access to the Society’s DVD library, with titles available to rent for a $10 deposit.

Ms Perl named Stevie Wonder as a key influence on her songwriting. “I learnt from his amazing use of harmony, and of course he’s one of the greatest voices of all time,” she said. The musical comedy act that shaped Ms Perl the most was New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords. “I feel that Flight of the Conchords took music comedy to the best of both worlds. The songs sounded amazing and they were the funniest ever. So seeing them for the first time was mind blowing,” she said. “I’m also in awe of Maria Bamford. She’s an amazing comedian.” After the “shadow lockdown” that occurred at the start of the year during the first Omicron wave, Ms Perl hopes that people support the arts. “My show is all-original music. I feel that seeing music by Australian artists is so important. There’s so many people out there doing amazing things. It’s a dynamic show, it’s fun and there’s a lot there for those who grew up in the 90s, or who had a rough time in school. It’s not a heavy show, it’s a fun show.” The show starts from 8pm on Saturday.
Fun to funky this Friday

Tom Parry EVER wanted to see the music of David Bowie combined with the thrills of the circus? This Friday, theatregoers can expect to see exactly that at The Wedge. Rebel is the brainchild of Stewart Reeve, who also appears in the show as a performer and the Master of Ceremonies. He describes the show as a glam-rock circus tribute the “original rebel” David Bowie. “Basically, the concept of the show is that we have a group of musicians who also double as circus performers,” Mr Reeve said. “So they’re jumping in and out between their instruments and they’re playing some of Bowie’s biggest hits, plus also performing some of these incredible acts as well – showcasing the skills of the circus while singing some of Bowie’s biggest numbers.” As a singer himself and fan of the late artist, Mr Reeve is particularly drawn to Bowie’s voice. “I really love the sound and how it changes through the years, and I love how we can
incorporate that into his style through the show as well. “It just offers so much range and diversity when we’re creating these acts for the show.” Rebel promises to span Bowie’s entire career, from Ziggy Stardust right up until his final album, Blackstar. “We’ve all sort of taken our favourite songs and tried to pack them into an hour,” Mr Reeve said. “We’ve really tried to capture some of the jukebox hits, but also some stuff in there for the real diehard fans.” Mr Reeve cites I’m Afraid of Americans from the 1997 album Earthling as one such example, describing it as a “heavy, grungy song.” “I think that catches people off guard, because it is quite a heavy song – it changes the pace a lot.” Couple that with the acrobatics and high-wire acts, and Rebel is sure to dazzle theatregoers young and old. Rebel will be showing at The Wedge for one night only, May 13 from 8pm. Tickets are available via thewedge.com.au or by calling the box office on 5143 3200.

DOCTOR Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the 28th instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has landed in cinemas. Our resident film buffs Stefan Bradley and Tom Parry went to check it out. SB: Well, the plot sees Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) enter the Multiverse to protect teenager America Am m Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who has the power to travel the Multiverse, from a dangerous threat. And An n I don't want to say more, because there's a lot of surprises in this movie. TP: That's for sure! Speaking as a Marv rvel v fanboy who has seen every film fii in the MCU until now, I’d say Multiverse of Madness is mid-tier compared to previous entries in the series. It felt like it was trying to stray away from the usual MCU formula, which I appreciated, and I suspect director Sam Raimi probably had a hand in that. But there were a lot of flaws, fll I found. The editing was strange – it was fast-paced and didn’t allow a lot of room to breathe, especially in the fii act. It throws you into the action rather first quickly, and a lot of the revelations were strange… no pun intended! SB: I enjoyed the movie the entire way through and liked it more than the first fii Doctor Strange. Sam Raimi is of course best known for the Tobey Magu guire-led u Spider-Man fii films in the 2000s and the Evil Dead horror franchise, combining elements from both to create a superhero movie with horror elements. It was more violent and scary than I expected. I suppose it did move pretty quickly, but it's better than a slow slog. During some of the horror scenes the camera moved around as part of the experience, which was great grr most of the time, but became a bit too gimmicky gii for my liking. TP: Whereas Wh h I loved that! I think the Marv rvel v movies should do that more often. The photogr graphy r in previous MCU movies has been quite static in my opinion, so they should experiment and do those Dutch angles more often. SB: The special effects were incredible, as you can imagi gine i if you’re a company
DOCTOR IS FULL OF SURPRISES
like Marv rve vel – you have enough money y for anything. In terms of the casting, I thought the main cast were great. grr Elizabeth Olsen’s performan nce is excellent, and she sellss what Wanda Ma aximoff is feeling and why she does what she does. Her performance enha ances the scary moments. Teenager Xochitl Gomez may becom me a breakout star from play ying Am America m Chavez – she's the heart of th he movie and d pulls it off with a great grr performan nce. She doesn’t become just a MacGuffi fin in or plot device. TP: Gom mez was exceptional; she carrried herself verry well. Olsen was pretty goood too, though h not as impressive; everyon ne else was ju ust fine. fii There are characterrs we can’t talk about, and I think there willl be a lot of discu ussion about those specifi fic i sccenes involving specifi fic i characters rather th han the movie itseelf over the next few weeks. SB: Thiss is one of those movies you don’t want spoilled if you’re a fan of this fran nchise, so I’d recom mmend you see it as soon ass you can. I shou uld note that you should wattch the Wand daV Vision series on Disney+ as a lot of that ties in nto this movie. To wrap this up, I enjoyed this movie more than I expected. It’s surprissing that after so many MCU U instalmentts, they can still put out a movie that feels fresh. TP: I'm not sure I agr gree r there, Stefa an. Ironically, Multiverse of Madness mad de me appreciatee the first fii Doctor Strange moore, probably because it allowed more timee to set-up the story and characters. SB: Fairr enough. I wonder if someon ne who hasn’t seen n any of the MCU movies orr shows would enjooy this? TP: I’d say no. If you haven’t watcheed any other MCU U movies or shows, I would avoid this. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is rated M for fantasy themes and actiion violence. The film fii is now showing at Sale Cin nemas. Image: Marvel Studios

RAAF BASE EAST SALE NOTES FOR MAY
WEST SALE ANZAC WEEKEND AIR SHOW
THERE has already been a lot written about what a fantastic weekend it was out at West Sale Airport for the recent Anzac Weekend Air Show. Congratulations goes to Wellington Shire Council for the initiative to put this on, and to Pace Marketing and Paul Bennet Airshows for a very professional and enjoyable event. The Air Show was originally meant to occur in 2021 to commemorate our Air Force Centenary. Obviously delays with COVID restrictions meant that it was held just after the Air Force Anniversary on March 31, 2022, and therefore was one of the last Centenary themed events. This also meant that we managed to have a lot of AF2021 merchandise to hand out, and flags, gliders and other memorabilia were well received by young and old who attended. Gunaikurnai Elders Aunty Lisa Gibling and Aunty Charmaine Sellings conducted a Welcome to Country for the official opening ceremony on the first day. In doing so, they acknowledged the longstanding relationship of nearly ten years between RAAF Base East Sale and the Gippsland Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC). They were accompanied by Flight Lieutenant Aimee McCartney, the Indigenous Liaison Officer for RAAF Base East Sale. Group Captain Nigel Ward, Senior ADF Officer RAAF Base East Sale, spoke as part of the opening ceremony and acknowledged the timing just before Anzac Day by reciting the Ode. Those watching all stood and Air Force personnel saluted as a member of the Air Force Band played the Last Post on the trumpet. It was a poignant way to mark the start of the Anzac Weekend Air Show.
ANZAC DAY CEREMONIES
PERSONNEL at RAAF Base East Sale supported over 25 Anzac Day ceremonies throughout the Gippsland region on April 25 this year, from Orbost,

right through to Toora and Welshpool. It was also great to see not only Air Force, but also Navy and Army, so well represented at the Main Service at the Sale Cenotaph. In his address, Group Captain Nigel Ward spoke of the courage and airmanship of No 30 Squadron during World War II, and in particular, during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. He paid tribute to the last remaining veteran from this time, Mr Bruce Robertson, now 102, who recently visited the Base as part of the 80th Anniversary of No 30 (City of Sale) Squadron.
LATERAL RECRUITMENT TO JOIN THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE
AFTER applying to join the Royal Australian Air Force from their home country of South Africa, Flight Lieutenant Albert Van de Vyver and Flight Lieutenant Ansunelle Van de Vyver, with their two daughters Mia and Zanelle, finally arrived in Sale on October 1, 2020. This was after trying to navigate international travel at the peak of Melbourne’s second wave of COVID for the previous four months.
Their flight plans were plagued by changing border restrictions and cancelled flights before finally being flown into Australia via Perth, where they spent two weeks in a quarantine hotel. Both Albert and Ansunelle are highly experienced in their chosen professions bringing 26 and 21 years military experience respectively, to the RAAF. Albert has experience flying a range of platforms but has found familiarity at No 32 Squadron where he is once again flying King Airs as he had previously in South Africa. Ansunelle has been posted to No 453 Squadron where as an Air Traffic Controller she provides critical capability directing aircraft at RAAF Base East Sale. This was the first time either Albert or Ansunelle had been to Australia and were unsure what to expect. Any reservations they had were quickly put to bed as they found Australia and South Africa shared a common culture and that the RAAF had the same family feeling they were used to back home.
The immediate support from the community made the transition easier. Albert mentioned that “whilst the administrative processes were different, there was the same family feeling”. He noted having similar military functions like dining in nights also helped them feel at home. The Van de Vyvers have found support both within the RAAF and with wide Sale community. They have formed friendships with a group of other South African nationals within Sale and Albert has joined the local remote control flying club as well. Mia and Zanelle attend Catholic College, Sale, who have been supportive during the entire relocation process. Now that COVID restrictions are beginning to ease the Van de Vyvers are looking to join in on touch football and netball and get out and see some more of Australia.

Loch Sport Community Care continues to support those in need with bags of essential items for contactless pick-up or delivery.
Winter Woollies now available Stefan Bradley LOCH Sport Community Care (LSCC) continues to support those in need with bags of essential items for contactless pick-up or delivery. Just in time for winter, there are now Winter Woollies items available for clients. "We got lovely little beanies, scarves and jackets for the little kids. These are from Foodbank as well, and are available in exchange for a donation," LSCC treasurer Glenys Stephens said. "I'm sure with this cold weather, people will be after a new beanie for winter.”
Despite COVID and Omicron no longer dominating the news the way it once did, Ms Stephens said that at this point, it seemed like more people in Loch Sport and surrounding areas were getting COVID than ever before. "We're still getting new clients, including those with COVID who need deliveries. In fact, we're getting more COVID calls than we did during that first wave at the start of the year," Ms Stephens said. "Some of them may have other illnesses, like the flu, and we're finding that they're not wanting to visit us in-person due to that."
"We are allowing people to come into the building with social distancing, which is mostly back to normal, but our clients can of course socialise outside." Foodbank continues to be a reliable partner for LSCC, but Ms Stephens said they’d like to see some treats donated. “We appreciate the fact that we’re getting the staple food items, but I’m sure those who are struggling might also appreciate donations of biscuits, chips, soft drinks and things like that.” Volunteer Shirley Keven said that the community is struggling.
“We got new clients who just found out about us," Ms Keven said. “Thankfully, people are starting to get back into socialising with the Loch Sport Bowls Club and the RSL doing meals again, and of course we can chat to our clients outside our building.” "We would also welcome donations of feminine hygiene products." Loch Sport Community Care is open Thursdays and Fridays, 10am-1pm on 101 National Park Rd. Those who wish to donate, volunteer or obtain a bag of essentials can contact Ms Stephens on 0437 529 411.

Army Reserve on hunt for recruits Stefan Bradley
THE Army Reserve set up a stall in Sale near the Race the Rubeena event last month, as they continue to look for recruits. Depending on the role, joining the army can be physically demanding, so a race could be considered a great opportunity to attract the right people. Sergeant Mather said you need to be reasonably fit, but the Army Reserves do training to maintain the appropriate level of fitness. “The age range we are looking for is 17 to 55,” Sergeant Mather said.
“We're always looking for new members to bolster the team, so we're always recruiting. “New recruits will be training for five weeks in Kapooka, near Wagga Wagga, and then there's a few courses they have to do before they're fully qualified.” “It's not something that you can just jump in quickly and be qualified, you got to do the training course, but it's all paid and tax free.” “We're looking for cavalry scouts and armoured vehicle crew, that's what we're looking for at the moment, but there are other positions.” Learn more at army.defencejobs.gov.au

Puppy love turns into a career Stefan Bradley
Maren Ryswyk with Rascal the dog on electric table.
MONTGOMERY resident Maren Ryswyk has turned her love of animals into a dog grooming business. “Animals have always been my passion, especially dogs. So I always wanted to do something with animals, but I didn’t know what,” Ms Ryswyk said. "I didn’t want to become a vet, because I didn’t want to deal with blood and gore. “I started working for Therese at Bass Court Dog Grooming in Sale as a bather. I really enjoyed it, so I went to Melbourne to do a dog grooming course for a couple of weeks. “After that, I started dog grooming for Therese, and she taught me a lot. “I’ve been grooming for seven years now." Ms Ryswyk started Marens K9 Grooming in November. The business popped up at an optimal time, with an easing of COVID restrictions across Victoria, including the end of Melbourne’s sixth lockdown in October. This meant that dogs endured a long period of time without grooming. “There’s heaps of demand now. I was going to start the business a year later, but I’m glad I did it now as there are so many COVID dogs,” Ms Ryswyk said. “When I opened in November it was overwhelming at first to get my head around everything, but it’s been going really well. I’m booked four weeks in advance now. It’s great to work from a home salon when you have two little kids, so I can work my own hours. My kids love seeing all the different kind of dog breeds.” Ms Ryswyk says the main challenge with dog grooming is uneasy pets. “It’s not a pamper day like a human would go to a pamper day. Some dogs can get quite anxious, and therefore require more time and patience, especially puppies and older dogs,” she said. “I pet them and get them used to the clippers and the noise, which can be quite scary.” “Patience is the number one attribute you need in this industry. Of course you have to like dogs and not be scared of them, and have good attention to detail.”

Ms Ryswyk says she employs a similar grooming process for most dogs. “I clip the dogs first, give them a bath, a blowdry, and then I clip them again because their hair stands up after the blowdry and you can get a much neater finish,” she says. “The whole process can take up to two hours, it depends on the coat. I do about three or four dogs a day.” “The hardest dog breed to groom is probably a Samoyed, which can take up to four hours. There is a lot of brushing involved. The drying alone takes around one hour. Short-hair coat dogs like a boxer or Dalmatians usually just need a wash and dry, and their nails clipped.” Marens K9 Grooming can be found on Facebook and Instagram. For more information, call Maren Ryswyk on 0421 397 456.

Maffra’s Brianna McClain with one of her calves.
Photo: Contributed
Study tour inspires A HANDFUL of calves purchased last year by Brianna McClain might not stand out in a big herd, but they mean a lot to the budding dairy farmer. Brianna was inspired to buy the calves after taking part in the first United Dairyfarmers of Victoria - Gardiner Dairy Foundation study tour of Victoria and she sees the young Holsteins as the next stage in advancing her dairy career. A town girl from Maffra, Brianna has always defied those who advised against a career in dairy. At 25, she has nearly 10 years’ experience in dairy and purchasing the calves marks another step forward in her career. “Buying a handful of heifer calves is small, but it’s a start. I want to be a first-generation farmer and you’ve got to start somewhere,” she said. The senior farmhand, who manages a Maffra district farm’s young stock and leased block, took it upon herself to seek a dairy placement while still at school. “The school tried to push me in another direction but I didn’t want to be a hairdresser or any generalised female trade, so I put some feelers out and got my own dairy placement,” she said. A glowing report from the farm owner meant the placement pathway stayed open for future students.
The placement also meant Brianna had found her ideal career. “I love animals and working with cows and here I am still enjoying it,” she said. Brianna learnt about the Victorian UDVGardiner study tour through the Young Dairy Network, and it opened her eyes to ways to advance her career. “Because I don’t come from a farming background, it’s hard to know about pathways in the industry,” she said. “It opened up for me the massive scope of opportunities.” The tour helped participants to build valuable industry connections and gave them an insight into different farming systems and career pathways. They learnt about genomics and other industry advancements, and even got to see goat and camel dairies. “We know what a cow dairy looks like but to have the opportunity to see camel and goat dairies was fantastic,” Brianna said. The tour visited different farming systems in Victoria’s three major dairying regions, including young farming families and one farmer who came to Australia without any industry background. “He was not from a farming background but he hit the ground running by working hard for
someone, buying some calves and now he owns his farm. “We also visited young farmers just starting in the industry and it was great to see how they are making it on their own. “I got something out of everything on the tour, but for me, especially not coming from a farming background, seeing how achievable it can be was really inspiring.” In fact, Brianna was so inspired that when she returned from the tour she decided to invest in some calves. “One of the farmers we visited would buy anything and everything he had the money for and that’s how he got started,” she said. “So, I started buying calves and heifers from my boss. I hope to slowly build up money to put into more stock or to start building a little herd.” Brianna still lives in town so her calves are mixed into the farm’s herd, but she knows she’s making a good investment in her future. While enjoying her current role, Brianna has long-term plans to become a share farmer. “That would be a way to dip my toes in a bit deeper,” she said. One of five sisters, Brianna, who has three children of her own aged 9, 5 and 2, is the only one in the family pursuing a career in agriculture.

Debate over agriculture funding in state budget
GP1636646
was not in the budget which spoke volumes about the state government’s view of agriculture. “An $86 million cut to the agriculture spend at a time when dozens of Victorian families are exiting the industry due to difficult market conditions shows Labor is no champion for our farmers,” Mr Walsh said. “We should be focused on delivering more opportunities to get locally-grown Victorian food and fibre from paddock to plate, but Labor is silent on research and development. “On top of that, there’s no mention of new money for Landcare groups and nothing to revive critical freight rail upgrades to the Murray Basin Rail that have stalled under Labor’s mismanagement.”

THE impact of the state budget on the agriculture industry has been the subject of debate since its release last week. Treasurer Tim Pallas handed down the 2022/23 Budget last week, with a $193.4 million investment in regional development and agriculture. Agriculture is worth $17.8 billion to the state’s economy. Agriculture and Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said regional Victoria, with a current unemployment rate of 3.2 per cent, was in a healthy state. “Our regional communities are powering the Victorian economy and boosting our recovery – and the industries that drive these communities are advancing, innovating and growing,” Ms Thomas said. “We’re backing Victoria’s world-class agriculture industry with our 10-year strategy, helping farmers access new markets at home and overseas, and future-proofing the sector against climate change, pests and diseases.” The state government has committed $2.9 million to support agribusiness across the state, which includes funding to continue the successful Drink Victorian campaign. Farmer and producers are set to benefit from the new Victorian Grown initiative, which aims to get locally-produced food and drinks onto the state’s tables. A total of $1.4 million over two years will go to fund drought preparedness and business planning programs for farmers. Biosecurity will be boosted by $1.8 million over four years, while the budget has allocated an additional $10.5 million to support the current rollout of the Victorian Forestry Plan. This is in addition to $89.7 million announced in December 2021 to support workers, communities and businesses transitioning away from native timber harvesting. Animal welfare will benefit from $18.6 million of funding, which will include the establishment of a regulatory framework for the pet rehoming sector and the preparatory work for a new Animal Care and Protection Act. Nationals Leader Peter Walsh said it was what

Maffra's open team continued their strong start to the season with an 11-0 victory against an undermanned Wellington. Maffra's junior program of the past 10 years came to the fore as all of the goalscorers have developed through the junior teams. Hamish MacGregor and Nathan White scored three goals each and Tim Valette scored twice. Lachie White, Grant van Brumellen and Angus Neaves added one goal each. The Under-13 game finished 4-1 to Maffra, but only after Wellington had opened with a goal in the first 10 seconds via Josh Gibb. Gradually Maffra were able to take control of the game with Otto Humphris scoring two goals, while Connor Johnston and Isabella McInnes added a goal each. Wellington also started strongly in the under 15 game with Jimmy Love giving them an early lead. However, Maffra were able to take control of the game with strong teamwork, and exceptional passing and tackling. Liam Lear-Barclay score two goals in his first game. Kate Allen, Daniel Neaves and Leila Roberts added a goal each. Jimmy Love scored Wellington's second goal. Connor Johnston put in a strong game as goalkeeper. The game finished with Maffra winning 5-2. Maffra controlled the Under-18 match from the start to win 10-0. Nikolas Valette and Hamish MacGregor scored five goals each.

SALE earned a 1-1 draw against Monash in Latrobe Valley Soccer League senior action at the weekend. The windy conditions made it difficult for precision passes with the result a lot of turnovers. Sale were first to score and held on to their lead up to half time. Back after injury Monash substitute Marcus Krznaric, who had been warming the bench was given his chance to impress and he was able to beat the keeper to equalise in the second half. Both sides pressed for a winner, but could not add to the scoreline, resulting in the first draw between the two sides since 2010. In other results, Moe defeated Traralgon City 3-1. Falcons rewrote the history books with a devastating display against East Gippsland, winning 16-0.
It was the club's biggest win, surpassing the 13-0, also against East Gippsland, in 2016. Neither team were able to score after that and the match finished a 1-1 draw, their first drawn match since 2010. Nonda Lazaris finished with five and Sam Amaira four as Falcons ran out winners 16-0 to retain top spot on the ladder. Fortuna upped the ante with a solid 4-2 win over Newborough/Yallourn in gloomy conditions. Churchill surprised fancied Pegasus with their endeavour and spirit in a tight match. But at the finish, it was the Flying Horseman who emerged with the three points after winning 2-1. In Round 8, Sale travels to Moe on Saturday for a clash under lights at Olympic Park. The two clubs have met 101 times previously, with Moe winning 76 times, Sale 20 times and five draws.

IN a round of NGFNL where Traralgon Tyers United stamped themselves as genuine premiership contenders with a win over the previously undefeated Churchill, it was the winless Glengarry who stole the headlines. The Pies had not been within 50 points of any of their first four opponents when the final siren sounded heading into yesterday’s clash with a resurgent Sale City. While they showed signs of improvement by being within touching distance of Woodside at three-quarter time last round, few, if any, outside the club thought they would be knocking over a Bulldogs outfit that was two and one after three games and welcoming back boom recruit Sam Davidson. By three-quarter time Saturday, Glengarry found themselves in the precise position they’d been the week before, within touching distance of a side they were not expected to knock off. Would this be a repeat of last week where the Pies gave up five goals to nil, or was today to be the day for Glen? Fast forward one quarter of football and the Pies had triumphed. Four goals to two was enough to see Glengarry sneak home by the barest of margins, a single point, and the monkey was well and truly off the back. A Jay Neagle masterclass saw the former AFL-listed player snag five majors and a return to form by Ben Britten, who’d spent a couple of weeks playing in the early game was exactly what the travelling Pies fans had hoped for. For the home side Davidson, Ben Chivers and Ben Brett managed three majors each, but it wasn’t enough for the tri-colours to stay level on points with the sides in the top five. While the Bulldogs might look back on an opportunity lost for the Pies Saturday’s win should provide some much needed confidence as they head into a run of games they can now be looking to get the points in. The other day fixtures for Round 5 went as expected with Yallourn Yallourn North (YYN) managing yet another 100-point plus result while Yarram proved too strong in the end for an improved Heyfield. The Jets again managed to keep a side scoreless for three quarters in an effort that impressed coach Barrie Burnett. In trying conditions, YYN managed to kick four, four, five and four goals across the four quarters while restricting Cowwarr to just three points, all of which came in the second quarter. As per usual it was Keenan Hughes and Dean Macdonald that led the goalkickers list for the Jets, bagging four apiece. With Mitch Luck surprisingly absent from the goal kickers list it was Lachlan Fry who managed to be the only other multiple goal scorer amongst the Jets eight players to register majors. While the match committee failed to find a spot for him in the Jets best six players, YYN president Evan “The Iron” Sheekey suggested Darcy Shellcot was one of his side’s better players. Shellcot and Cam MacInnes were
instrumental in cutting off the Saints all too rare forward forays and both used their run and carry to effect to set up many a scoring opportunity for the victors. Heyfield were hot on the hammer of top three aspirant Yarram as the final term got underway at the Gordon Street Reserve and the locals had every right to think they were a huge shot of an upset win. Having given up a half-time lead, the Roos found themselves just under a goal in arrears as the final quarter started. Factor in that Yarram played a man short with gun onballer Jayden Shea unable to make his way back from Western Bulldog duties in Adelaide the night before and it is fair to say here were some nerves in the Demons camp as well. Having done so against YYN to get his side back into that contest, Yarram coach Justin Staley again opted for a small forward line with great effect. The move of Corbin Sutherland deep into the arc reaped benefits with the regular half forward or winger managing to help himself three goals four behinds in his side’s 19-point win. With Boadie Motton taking control in the middle and Liam Bentley marking well across half-back, the Demons got the win to stay within touching distance of the ladder leading Jets. For Heyfield, it was again a case of so close yet so far with the Roos remaining anchored in the bottom couple of spots on the ladder with the league’s only other winless side Cowwarr. Saturday night saw the match of the round take place at the Tyers Rec Reserve where the home side TTU welcomed a Churchill outfit that had taken all before them leading up to last week’s bye. The bye appeared to advantage the travelling Cougar side as their side on paper looked to be as close to full strength as it has been all season. The same could not be said of the home side who took the park without a raft of first choice players including nominal centre half forward Brad Kelleher and key defensive pillar Zach Kilgower. In Kilgower’s absence it was Guy Sinclair who had the job on Churchill sharpshooter Ben Kearns, who had 30 goals to his name from the opening three games while Jack Brown took up residence alongside Churchill’s Brendan Holt. A hot opening quarter saw Churchill jump Tyers with Chris Williams everywhere early doors. Williams helped himself to an early goal and upwards of ten touches in the first quarter. For the Bombers it was Mitchell Mustoe and Michael Jacobsen doing the early damage through the middle and when Mustoe found Tim Hendricken with a slick pass, the Bombers had their first goal at the 16 minute mark. This was followed up by a Jayden Cutts major at the 20 minute mark and the Bombers looked to take a near on two goal lead into the first break. Enter Kearns. Unsighted early Kearns marked strongly
and slotted the first of his five majors after the quarter-time siren and the margin was under a goal at the first break. At the start of the second quarter it became obvious TTU coach Jamie Aitken had seen enough of the Chris Williams show as he sent Thomas Fleming to the Cougar star at the opening bounce. Williams remained influential being named best on ground for the Cougars, however everything he did from this point on was under pressure. With Churchill’s Jake Roe-Duggan starting to link up with Michael Diaz and Ryan Lowrie through the middle it was Churchill who managed the first goal of the second term with Kearns again the man doing the damage only a few minutes in. From this point on however it was all TTU in the second term. Jacobsen and Mustoe were everywhere and with Jye Nielson taking an extended run in the ruck, the Bombers had all the momentum. In the absence of Kelleher, Rowan Hore and Cutts were running amok up front with Cutts in particular proving a handful. On the back of a series of repeat inside fifty entries, TTU small forward Brady Poel helped himself to a major and when Nielson kicked truly at the 25 minute mark, the huge fire keeping the large crowd in front of the bar warm was only the second hottest thing in town. Tyers jogged into the room with enthusiasm, belief and a 25-point lead. The third quarter saw the rain arrive, but it didn’t dampen the contest with several heated exchanges keeping those involved warm. It was Churchill who seemed to settle the better however getting back within single digits when Ben Skinner kicked the first of this two goals. These came on the back of a pair from Kearns, one of which was an absolute ripper, and all of a sudden it was game on. The Bombers skipper however was having none of this Churchill come back. Having rucked manfully, Nielson took a breather late in the third and let Rowan Hore take the ruck duties. This proved a match winning move and within minutes of pushing forward, Nielson had helped himself to a pair of majors and order was restored with the Bombers taking a handy 14-point break into the last term. With fatigue well and truly setting in and conditions not allowing for anything that resembled free flowing footy in the last quarter the majors of Skinner and Kearns for Churchill were offset by goals to Poel and Cutts for TTU and the home side prevailed by 15 points. Williams and Kearns were the standout contributors for the vanquished, while it felt like there were a dozen candidates for the best player honours for TTU. Any of Jacobsen, Mustoe, Cutts, Brown, Nielson and Hayden Willaton would have been worthy BOG’s with apologies to Trent Hourigan, Kade Duncan and Hore.

Hot Pies up to fourth Gregor Mactaggart SALE were the big movers in Gippsland League football at the weekend. The Magpies flew up to fourth place on the ladder, moving ahead of Traralgon and Wellington rivals Maffra. Sale did so on the back of a hard-fought 9.16 (70) to 7.8 (50) win at home against a persistent Drouin. In difficult conditions, the Magpies held a seven-point lead at the main break before a three-goal to one burst in the third quarter set the tone. Will Leslie, Shannen Lange, Jack Leslie and Cooper Whitehill impressed for the home side. Kane Martin, Brad Dessent and Jonty McGuiness each booted two goals. Drouin was well-served by Aden Quirk, with Kye Quirk kicking three goals. WONTHAGGI Power consolidated third place on the ladder after overcoming a profligate Maffra by 27 points.
Four goals from the mercurial Troy Harley proved pivotal in the 9.10 (64) to 4.13 (37) scoreline. Harley earned a nod as the Power's second best player behind Aiden Lindsay, with Jordan Staley another fine performer. The Eagles will rue their share of missed

opportunities, particularly in the third quarter when they kicked 2.5. Alex Carr was named Maffra's best player, with Hudson Holmes and Tom Jolly also impressing. It proved a costly loss for the Eagles, who dropped out of the top five, leapfrogged by Sale. LEONGATHA defeated a determined Morwell by 40 points at Morwell Recreation Reserve to make it five from five this campaign. A tense first-half saw just four goals kicked, but the Parrots broke the game open in the third term. Leongatha booted three goals to one for a 28-point lead at the final change and stretched that advantage for an 8.13 (61) to 2.9 (21) success. Luke Bowman and Tom Marriott were standout performers for the Parrots, with Jack Hume and Justin Pellicano each snagging two goals. The reliable Dan Musil battled hard in a losing cause for the Tigers and Tyler Brown was another notable contributor. Leongatha improved its percentage on the back of the win, while Morwell remains only percentage outside the top five. MOE extended its unbeaten start to the Gippsland League season with a solid 40-point away win against Bairnsdale. The Lions produced a blistering opening term to lead by 28 points at the first change and collected the four points without any major worries. Matt Barrand booted a game-high three goals in the 8.20 (68) to 4.4 (28) success. The 28 scoring shots to eight highlighted Moe's dominance with Jess McGrath and James Blaser leading a long list of solid contributors. In difficult conditions, Barrand's three-goal haul was worth its weight in gold, while Harri Sim bobbed up with two majors. Bairnsdale battled hard and enjoyed its best period of the match in the final term, booting three goals to one. Coach Logan Austin made a welcome return and worked hard in defence, although Randall Stewart was named best for the Redlegs ahead of the former Port Adelaide and St Kilda tall. WARRAGUL rallied from a three-quarter time deficit to beat Traralgon by seven points at Western Park, their first victory of the season. Former Carlton player Nick Graham played a starring role for the Gulls in the 8.8 (56) to 7.7 (49) win. Graham not only came down with a case of leather poisoning, but kicked two goals, as did another former AFL player in Jed Lamb and Brayden Fowler. The leading goalkicker on the ground was in the losing side with Matt Northe capping a fine individual display by slotting three majors. Tom Schneider and Conor Little also worked hard for the Maroons. The win lifts Warragul into eighth spot ahead of Drouin, while Traralgon slips to fifth on the ladder.

Rovers down Bombers
EAST GIPPSLAND SCOREBOARD ROUND 5
Gregor Mactaggart
SENIORS
ORBOST-SNOWY Rovers produced a blistering final quarter to stun Boisdale-Briagolong in East Gippsland Football action on Saturday. The Bombers looked on track for a first win of the season when they led by 20 points at three-quarter time in a low-scoring clash at Boisdale. But the visitors booted seven goals to one in the final term for a 9.9 (63) to 5.14 (44) victory. Max Welsh and Hamish Nettleton turned the game in favour of the Blues during that quarter, each kicking four goals. The pair headlined the list of best players for Orbost-Snowy Rovers, which also featured William Walker, Max Herbert, Andrew Kenny and Jesse Pescod. The loss leaves Boisdale-Briagolong anchored to the bottom of the ladder. The Bombers will rue their inaccuracy, especially in the third quarter, kicking 2.7 for the term despite dominating general play. Brendon Rathnow continued his impressive form, named Boisdale-Briagolong’s best player for the third time in as many matches. Ben Wilkinson, Declan Scriven, Paddy Mack, Callan Egan and Kelvin Porter also impressed for the Bombers.

Alex McLaren booted five goals for Paynesville, with Nick Pincott slotting three majors. Lewis Hoffman just shaded McLaren as Paynesville’s best player.

STRATFORD’S topsy-turvy start to 2022 continued with a 20-point home loss to Lucknow. The Swans paid the price for a poor first-half, kicking just one goal as the Magpies swooped on six majors themselves. Lucknow stretched its advantage to 50 points by the last change, and while Stratford finished with a five-goal final quarter, the damage was already done. The Magpies winning 10.10 (70) to 7.8 (50). Lucknow was best served by Ashley Smith, Joel McNamara, Ryan Halford and Dion Grace. Darren Allen proved the lone multiple goalkicker for the Magpies with two goals. Brad White earned the nod as Stratford’s best player, with Ryan Thatcher, Dylan Cartwright, Alex Morcom, Riley Cottrell and Kyle Grainger strong contributors.

Winter blast hits touch Laurie Smyth
LAST Wednesday night’s touch was played in wet wintry conditions and despite the conditions, all teams acquitted themselves well with ball handling skills at a high standard. The Drop Kicks played Phoenix with the Drop Kicks winning 10-5. The young Laskowski girls are an example to other players in not giving up at any stage with Mackenzie making two tries for Phoenix in the second-half and Arora one. Lexi, though not making a try was always in the action. Mum, Kate has four tries for the season equalling Marinda’s. Arora and Mackenzie each have five with Lexi and dad, Jason with one each. The other scorer for Phoenix was Kyung Stewart with two tries. Tawh Ashby, Andrew Campbell, Jacinda Mani, and Nick Elliott each scored two tries. This was Mani’s first tries for the season.

Correction THE Sale-Maffra Cricket Association is mourning the loss of John Findlay. Weymouth served as secretary, treasurer, committeeman and sponsor of the SMCA in the 1950s. He was also senior representative cap number 20, playing from 1950 to 1956. The Country Week bowling award trophy carries his name in recognition of his contribution to the SMCA. Away from cricket he was heavily involved in local business, as the Findlay in wellknown Sale pharmacy Findlay & Weymouth. A previous version of this story, published in the Gippsland Times on Friday, referred to Mr Findlay as Mr Weymouth The Gippsland Times apologises for that error and any distress caused as a result of the error.

Mrs Hector honoured Tom Parry
A STALWART of Sale’s netball community has been honoured for her decades of contribution to the sport. The Marion Hector Timekeepers Box was unveiled at the Sale Netball Association’s (SNA) inaugural Life Members Day, held at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex two weekends ago. As its name implies, the booth pays tribute to Marion Hector, in recognition of her many years of selfless service to the Association. It’s a fitting tribute for the dedicated volunteer, as Association president Pam Sellings explained to the Gippsland Times. “Most people within the SNA associate Marion with timekeeping,” Ms Sellings said. “For many years, it was her voice over the loudspeaker directing games. “People who haven't been around the courts in years still reminisce about 'Mrs Hector's voice on gameday'. “Naming the Timekeeper's box in her honour, seemed to us like a way to ensure that her name will always be associated with gameday.” Since moving back to Sale in 1977, Mrs Hector has played a very active role within the Association as a player, coach and umpire. She also served four years as secretary of the committee and seven consecutive years as president, from 1993 to 1999. Furthermore, she was integral in restructuring the junior competition, allowing girls of all ages to participate. Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye was on-hand to reveal the newly-named booth in front of its namesake, her fellow Life Members, and relatives from her extended family – including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their appearance was kept a secret from Mrs Hector, who was surprised and overjoyed to have their company on the day. Mrs Hector described the recognition as “marvellous.” “It’s funny, you know – I always thought that I would like a shed named after me,” Mrs Hector said. “But when I was gone, not while I was still alive! “Anyhow, I felt very honoured.” Three of Mrs Hector’s fellow Life Members were also recognised on the day, with each having an outdoor shelter named in their honour – again with the Mayor making the reveal. No doubt the legacy of all four has been cemented for many decades to come.

Strong local presence at Sale races Gregor Mactaggart
SALE Turf Club will play host to a solid eight-race program today with two Benchmark 64 races the highlight. The first sees Bundalaguah galloper Ripplebrook chase his second successive Sale win in the Barry & Annette Lett Funerals Handicap (1740m). Ripplebrook produced a fine performance to prevail on April 27 and faces similar company here. High Done, runner-up to Ripplebrook on that occasion, is back for a return bout, while the different form comes from He’s On Form and Kwoi Hoi. He’s On Form, a four-year-old New Zealand bred galloper from the Paddy Payne stable, won his maiden at Sale on a Heavy 9 in January, but has failed to fire since. Kwoi Hoi, prepared by former top Singapore trainer Cliff Brown, finished runner-up to the emerging talent British Columbia at Pakenham on April 28 and gets Jamie Mott in the saddle. The second Benchmark 64 Handicap (1110m) looms as an intriguing affair. Key chances Island Edition and Jabali Ridge have both drawn wide, although that could well prove a blessing in what is the final race of the program. The mercurial Hydro Star generates interest after finishing down the track in his most recent appearance at Sale on Good Friday. There is also strong local influence throughout the program with 15 Wellington-based gallopers in action. Sharyn Trolove has four runners, Ripplebrook, Barossa Kiss, Flikidy Flick and Sockastar.
Ripplebrook is shooting for back-to-back wins at Sale today. Troy Kilgower saddles up Sword Fight and Damselfly’s Kept. Jack Walkley’s Peppino, fresh from winning the Picnic Grand Final at Cranbourne, lines-up in the penultimate race, one race after stablemate Bucks. Rebecca Kelly has Sassoon and Lunar Effect, while Paul Worthington (Panagsama), Colin Butcher (Empire Royal), Kerry Farrugia (Wiesenbach),
