AUSNET has unveiled its preferred route for a high voltage transmission line that will run from Giffard through to Hazelwood, helping develop a raft of renewable energy projects in the region. The proposed route will run south of the Princes Highway and plug into an AusNet terminal station at Hazelwood. It includes crossing through 48 private properties as well as through corporate and public land, but, the route is subject to change pending further feedback and technical studies. The power line is being developed as part of the Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone to transmit electricity from 11 gigawatts of planned renewables projects. Construction could start in 2025 or 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, and would provide 2100 jobs in construction and then 140 long term jobs over 25 years. The project will also need to be referred the Planning Minister to determine if an Environmental Effects Statement is required. An AusNet spokesman said the final design could include a combination of overhead and underground

cables, depending on community engagement, environmental and technical studies. The spokesman said AusNet had spoken with all landowners along the proposed route before releasing the draft. He said AusNet initially considered several possible corridors including north and south of the Holey Plains State Park. “Based on available information, the preferred route minimizes the impact with other land users and sensitive areas, and maximises the opportunities for renewable energy generators to connect into G-REZ,” the spokesman said. “AusNet is committed to delivering a solution that works for all parties including the community, other key stakeholders and renewable energy proponents.” G-REZ is one of the first renewable energy zone projects in Victoria, which will connect locally generated renewables to the grid - including the potential for offshore wind. It would reduce the need for multiple transmission lines running across Gippsland from independent renewable energy projects. The AusNet spokesman said G-REZ would be partially funded by renewables developers in return for access to the grid.

“This gives the project the unique opportunity to look at more appropriate community benefit models, and better payment arrangements for those landholders that ultimately host the infrastructure,” the spokesman said. “It will play a vital role in delivering affordable, clean and reliable energy, and will help prepare Victoria for the retirement of coal-fired power stations. “It will support local jobs during peak construction of new energy projects related to G-REZ and ongoing local jobs during operations with benefits across the local supply chain being retained in the region.” Committee for Gippsland welcomed the project, saying it would support new energy investment in the region and create employment opportunities for locals. “Renewable energy projects like those proposed in Gippsland will not only provide new job opportunities but also provide training and skill development at local training providers to ensure we can meet energy demand,” Committee for Gippland chief executive Tony Cantwell said. “This connecting infrastructure will help create jobs and ensure our region’s economy is well placed to secure sustainable investment in our region’s transitioning energy sector.”

Ernst and Young administrator David Kennedy said minimising disruption for clients and participants was a “key priority for the management team at Within Australia and the administrators”. “The administrators’ primary objective is to ensure continuation of support to participants and clients and to secure a longer-term future of the organisation wherever possible,” Mr Kennedy said. A Gippsland Primary Health Network spokesperson said the organisation had enhanced its commissioning processes to “effectively meet the current needs of the Gippsland community”. “Gippsland PHN contacted all affected commissioned services in 2021 to explain the new outcomes - focused commissioning approach and invited them to co-design the tender,” the spokesperson said. “All were invited to tender.

ABOUT 60 employees were made redundant on Friday after Gippsland mental health provider Within Australia went into liquidation earlier this month. Within Australia - formerly SNAP Gippsland operated sites in Traralgon, Bairnsdale, Sale and Wonthaggi, delivering NDIS services and mental health services to 380 people. The community not-for-profit organisation was put into the hands of voluntary administrators Ernst and Young after it was resolved that Within Australia was insolvent, or likely to become insolvent. A spokesperson for Ernst and Young said the majority of staff had their employment terminated on Friday. “We have been providing support to the 60 staff in terms of assisting them to find alternative employment by arranging meetings with local employers,” the spokesperson said. “[We have also been] arranging information sessions on how to continue providing support to participants and clients by setting up independently.” The liquidation comes after Within Australia had failed to re-tender its services to the Gippsland Primary Health Network, as well as a period of “below budget financial performance”. There were also a number of vacancies in “key revenue generating roles” such as counsellors. Administrators had run an expression of interest process with 25 organisations, but were unable to secure a long-term future for Within Australia before it went into liquidation. The spokesperson said administrators had been helping Primary Health Network clients to

By Michelle Slater WORKSAFE is investigating a fatality in which a farm worker died after being crushed between a tip truck and a front end loader on a property at Cowwarr last week. WorkSafe believes the 55-year-old man was trapped while grain pellets were being unloaded from the truck into the loader’s bucket when the loader moved forward. Agriculture is among Victoria’s most dangerous industries, accounting for about 14 per cent of workplace deaths, despite making up just two per cent of the state’s workforce. There have been 28 workplace fatalities in 2022, however seven of these deaths were in the agriculture, fishing and forestry industry.

WorkSafe has accepted 208 injury claims from workers in the agriculture sector in the past six months to the end of June this year. The Cowwarr death follows another ag-sector incident this month in which a 66-year-old maintenance worker died after falling through a polycarbonate roof panel on a shed at a Monbulk plant nursery. In late June, an 82-year-old farmer died after becoming entrapped in a harvesting machine on a property at Gembrook. WorkSafe health and safety executive director Narelle Beer said it was crucial for farmers to prioritise workplace safety by assessing any risks before undertaking a task. “Farmers know their land better than anybody, but experience alone doesn’t make you immune to workplace tragedy,” Ms Beer said.

“It often takes only small changes - such as planning ahead or ensuring machinery is properly maintained - to make a big difference to farm safety.” The regulator offers a free program to manage farm safety and has an Agriculture Strategy to reduce fatalities and serious injuries through behavioural change. WorkSafe stressed that all Victorian employers, including those in agriculture, must do everything they can to protect the health and safety of their workers. Inspectors also regularly visit farms to make sure employers meet their obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and action can be taken if these obligations are not met.

Dementia expected to double in Gippsland

DEMENTIA is the second-highest cause of death among females in Gippsland, and the sixth among males, with an average of 171 deaths a year. This was revealed in Gippsland Primary Health Network’s priority issues paper on ‘Dementia’, released this week. The number of people in Gippsland with dementia is expected to double over the next three decades. An estimated 7488 people in Gippsland had dementia in 2021 and this is expected to increase to 13,783 by 2058. Out of this total, an estimated 438 people have younger onset dementia (under 65 years). Forty per cent of people living in aged care facilities have a dementia diagnosis. Gippsland PHN chief executive, Amanda Proposch said the priority issues papers were an important resource for both health professionals and the community. “Gippsland PHN is committed to Population Health Planning as an ongoing core function,” Ms Proposch said. “We gather data and information from many

sources including the local community and health professionals to identify the unique health priorities of our region. “The purpose is to make informed decisions about the best way to achieve our vision of a measurably healthier Gippsland.” The paper also captured feedback from people living with dementia, their families, carers and health professionals. People living with dementia said it was important to stay fit, well and connected. At times they experienced feelings of confusion, frustration and embarrassment, and were concerned about the future, losing independence and being a burden. Carers and family members said support after diagnosis was needed to help the carer and person living with dementia to adapt to the diagnosis. While the carer role is essential, they said it could be very demanding and the system navigation challenging. Anyone worried about their memory or thinking is encouraged to speak with their general practitioner (GP). A major change to memory or thinking is not normal at any age. For more information about local services, see the Gippsland PHN website. THE Gippsland PHN ‘Suicide’ priority issues

paper highlights the impact of suicide on families, friends, co-workers, and those in the community. The paper outlines protective (safety) factors including effective clinical care for mental, physical and substance use disorders; easy access to a variety of clinical interventions and support for help seeking; support through ongoing medical and mental health care relationships; strong connections to family and community support; and skills in problem solving, conflict resolution and non-violent handling of disputes.

RAAF Base East Sale is proud to receive this award and will continue to develop a strong relationship with the local community and understand connections to people and place, history and culture, spirit and belonging.

RAAF NEWS Impressive Start to the Year Officers’ Training School FOR RAAF Base East Sale’s Officers’ Training School, 2022 started with an impressive cohort of new instructional staff posting in from squadrons across Australia, complementing the strong team that remained from 2021. Special mention must be made of FLTLT Miki Szollosi, an instructor here since January 2021, who in February this year was awarded the prestigious title of Instructor of the Year for the Royal Australian Air Force - no small effort and a testament to the dedication and quality of the instructional team. After the environmental challenges presented throughout the past two years, Officers’ Training School was excited to commence its first course of the year with a return to not only Adventurous Training, but face to face training in general. It is always a powerful experience for Officer Trainees to experience the challenges of leadership in new and confronting environments, and the abrupt start to winter up at

the abseiling and caving sites near Buchan certainly challenged most. The first three courses of the year have all returned smiling and buoyed by their experiences, despite the cold and, for the most part, their first experiences living from ration packs. Over the coming weeks, Commanding Officer WGCDR Garth Herriot will be officially authorising the newly completed Confidence training course into service; comprising obstacles such as climbing

walls, nets and tunnels. This course will augment the already rigorous physical and adventure training undertaken by trainees. The Physical Training team are in the final stages of program development, with the goal of seeing this challenging course undertaken by Officer Trainees within the next few months. Having already graduated the first of five courses for the year, Officers’ Training School continues full steam ahead, eyes firmly on the future.

Green light given

SEASPRAY will receive a new pump track, after Wellington Shire councillors unanimously approved its construction at last Tuesday’s council meeting. The asphalt pump track will provide recreational opportunities for a wide range of ages and abilities, and is suitable for a range of wheeled sports (BMX, scooter, mountain bike, skateboard and roller skates) away from traffic. Funding from the federal government has seen Heyfield, Yarram and Maffra benefit from pump tracks constructed within already active precincts. The Seaspray Pump Track was given the green light following extensive community engagement. An approach by the Seaspray Reserves Committee of Management in July 2021 for council to support a pump track for Seaspray saw engagement then undertaken to determine the level of support for the project from within the community. Letters were sent to property owners within Seaspray and The Honeysuckles, with links to the survey on council’s ‘Your Wellington, Your Say’ project page. During the consultation period, 368 survey responses were received. Data from the survey highlighted that:  40 per cent of ratepayers from Seaspray responded to the survey;  11 per cent of ratepayers from The Honeysuckles responded to the survey;  66 per cent of ratepayers from Seaspray supported the project, and;  83 per cent of ratepayers from The Honeysuckles supported the project. Further to this, council received a petition prior to the end of the consultation period, with 73 signatures in support of the pump track being constructed on Foreshore Reserve. This petition was received by council at its meeting on June 7, 2022 and referred for consideration as part of the overall engagement process. At that same meeting, council also heard objections to the project from the public gallery, whose concerns were also considered as part of the engagement process. The $150,000 project received funding through the federal government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and a $50,000 contribution from the Seaspray Reserves Committee of Management. The construction of a pump track in Seaspray will require additional ongoing funding to manage and maintain. This funding will include an ongoing licence fee for the site of the pump track payable to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning appointed Foreshore Committee (DELWP).The standard annual base fee is $421. The council meeting on June 7 was attended by two individuals who frequented Seaspray, both of whom expressed concerns about the pump track. One individual raised concern about “censorship” by a Facebook page regarding the project, understood to be Celebrate Seaspray, which is not run by council. The Seaspray Ratepayers’ Association was also mentioned, which is also not run by council.

Pump tracks (Yarram pictured) have propped up across Wellington in recent year’s. Pump tracks are designed to be taken to by everyday riders who, as the name suggests, generate movement by ‘pumping’ momentum up and down with body movements, rather than pedaling or pushing. Photo: Supplied. Another individual said they would like to have seen a 3D model of the pump track prior to voting, and would like to see a more natural installation in place of a pump track. Consultations for the design of the pump track is expected to occur now that the project has been approved. Council ran the survey through the ‘Your Wellington, Your Say’ website, which was open for Seaspray and Honeysuckles ratepayers only. Votes from those who were not ratepayers in those two areas were not counted. The agenda and minutes of the June 7 and July 5 meetings can be found on the Wellington Shire Council website, and the live streams of both meetings on their YouTube channel.

Quarterly Building Report

COUNCILLORS recorded 299 building permits between January 1 and March 31, 2022, valued at $33 million. The building permits are issued by council to private building surveyors and include dwellings, fences, extensions, commercial and industrial buildings. The full list of locations is available on the council website.

Tender for agency staff

COUNCILLORS accepted the recommendations of a report that considers entering into an agency contract with a panel of providers, for temporary agency staff to fill vacancies, where required, across the organisation. This recommendation has been adopted following the expiry of the current agreement and is intended to continue business as usual when hard to fill positions are left vacant. A tender for this work has been awarded, and will be shared between a number of Gippsland businesses. The next council meeting will be held in-person at the Port of Sale (Wellington Centre) on Tuesday, July 19 at 6pm.

MEMBER for Gippsland South, Danny O’Brien is reminding locals that his office is a drop-off point for those wanting to donate disposable nappies. Mr O’Brien’s office in Sale serves as a collection point for the Nappy Collective Giving Project, an initiative that collects unused disposable nappies and passes them on to where they are needed most. Mr O’Brien said donations had understandably slowed down throughout the coronavirus pandemic and he had hope to see them pick up now that restrictions had eased. “Over the past few years the donations have slowed while the need has increased, resulting in a greater need than ever before,” he said. “I’m urging anyone with unwanted disposable nappies sitting at home to drop them into my office. “All kinds of disposable nappies are happily accepted - day, night, pull-ups and even swim nappies. “New or even opened and half-used packets will make a big difference in the lives of those who need it most.” Mr O’Brien said the nappies would be donated to a local charity that will ensure they are passed on to those who need them most. “One of the great things about this project is that the nappies are distributed locally, it’s a simple way we can support local families in need,” he said. “Unfortunately, research conducted by the Nappy Collective tells us that around one in 10 families are not changing their children’s nappies as often as they should because they simply can’t afford the nappies needed. “As we all know too well, many Gippslanders are doing it really tough, so any donation will be greatly appreciated.” Nappies can be dropped off at Mr O’Brien’s office located at 54B Cunninghame St, Sale during business hours year-round.

Peter and Tina Cursley are taking part in the Bake for Babies fundraiser.

Baking fundraiser THE Newborn Intensive Care Foundation (NICF) is urging people in the Sale region to take part in the Bake for Babies fundraiser. The bake challenge is being held to help raise funds to provide Sale Hospital’s Special Care Nursery with vital equipment to care for seriously ill newborns. Locals can help raise $25,000 for a breast pump and an Isolette cot for Sale Hospital’s Special Care Nursery (SCN) through the challenge. An Isolette is a clear plastic enclosed crib that maintains a warm environment for a new baby and isolates them from germs, providing a safe cocoon-like environment for sick newborns. A new breast pump for Sale’s SCN will eliminate the need for mothers to queue up and wait for the pump if they want to express their milk. To raise the money needed, Newborn Intensive Care Foundation is urging residents across the

Sale region to get involved and take part. Chairman of the NICF Peter Cursely, said Bake for Babies was a simple concept, with 100 per cent of the money raised dedicated to sending sick babies home from the hospital, quicker and healthier. “People can bake whatever they like - a cake, scones, brownies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, cookies, muffins, biscuits, a slice or maybe charge friends for a seat at the table of a baked dinner,” he said. “We want people to have fun baking, maybe involving their kids, and then sell their baked creations at a price they think appropriate and donate the profits to the NICF.” All donations over $2 are tax-deductible. Money raised in the region stays in the region, meaning what is raised from Bake for Babies will go to medical equipment to help sick newborn babies at Sale Hospital. Those interested in getting involved can visit www.newborn.org.au/bakeforbabies for more information.

Sparkling Sapphires to hit Sale Tom Parry

FOR Kuungkari woman Lorinda May Merrypor, her appearance in a certain musical stage-play is the culmination of a want held since childhood. She vividly recalls sitting at home in her younger years, watching First Nations artist Jessica Mauboy auditioning for Australian Idol. “It was really one of those moments that made me realise my dream of being a performer and a singer was kind of a possibility,” Ms Merrypor told the Gippsland Times. A few years later, Mauboy landed the role of Julie in Wayne Blair’s The Sapphires, which also drew Ms Merrypor’s interest: “I remember when the film came out being absolutely obsessed with it; heading down to the lounge room and watching it with my cat on repeat.” Today, Ms Merrypor is touring the country, playing on-stage the very character made famous by the onetime Australian Idol contestant and runner-up. She first joined the production in 2019, and since then has travelled right around Australia, bringing The Sapphires and her talents to multiple venues. What’s more, she has formed a strong connection with her fellow First Nations performers - Jade Lomas-Ronan, Kaninna Langford and Chelsea Hawke - who she considers her sisters. “Though the cast changed over the years - in fact, I’m the only original performer from the beginning of 2019 that’s still here (with the tour) - you become sisters so quickly,” Ms Merrypor said “I’m just so grateful to Tony Briggs for writing this show, and giving me the opportunity to meet these amazing women and become so close with them. “And it’s so fun - we get to see so much of the country together, so we’re kind of bonded for life!”

The Sapphires will land at The Wedge next week. Local theatregoers will get to see that sisterly bond for themselves when The Sapphires lands at The Wedge next Wednesday. The production tells of four women from an Aboriginal mission in Cummeragunja who form an all-girl group that takes the music world by storm with their covers of popular Motown songs. “You’re going to have a good time just with the soundtrack, but then the story itself is so heart-warming, so moving, and really inspiring,” Ms Merrypor said. Yet The Sapphires also deals with more sombre issues, such as Australia’s

Photos: Hit Productions

involvement in Vietnam and issues of racial injustice. With NAIDOC Week having just concluded, the latter’s themes have added significance to Ms Merrypor. “I think it is amazing that as a country, we take the time to really talk about this stuff, acknowledge it and educate each other throughout this time,” she said. “The theme this year (for NAIDOC Week), ‘Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!’ I think is really fitting, especially for this time in society that we’re in. “The issues are being spoken about a lot louder at the moment, and it’s

Maffra Municipal Band PROUDLY PRESENTS

really important that everyone, whether they’re black or white, gets together and stands up and shows up for talking about these issues.” Overall though, the story is an uplifting one, filled with sparkles, sequins and soul music. “I think everyone will have a great time,” Ms Merrypor promised. The Sapphires will be showing at The Wedge on Wednesday, July 20 from 8pm. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box-office on 5143 3200 or visiting www.thewedge.com.au

Helmed by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier and nominated for two Academy Awards, this raunchy comedy-drama follows Oslo resident Julie (Renate Reinsve) as she navigates a quarter-life crisis. Society secretary Gerard Callinan cited the “really clever cinematography” as a key reason for the picture’s inclusion in the 2022 program. “That and the fact that it’s a film from Scandinavia, a part of the world we haven’t had many films from, probably put it over the line,” Mr Callinan said. He also primed attendees for plenty of surprises, “without giving too much away, there are some parts of the film where the audience will wonder, ‘how on Earth did they do that?’” Australian drama Nitram was originally scheduled to screen earlier as part of the society’s 2022 program, but was postponed due to prints of the film being unavailable. It will now appear at The Wedge on Tuesday, August 16. Prospective members can learn more about the society by visiting the official webpage at salefilmsociety.wordpress.com.

Heather is a foundation and life member of the club and has missed very few meetings. She has held many positions within the club including president, vice president, travel coordinator and club historian. At 94 years old, Gwen is the oldest member.

Curator appointed for gardens PEOPLE might have already seen Sale’s answer to Costa Georgiadis whipping about the gardens on his customised buggy through rain, hail or shine. What is most impressive though about new Sale Botanic Gardens curator Tony King, (other than his beard), is the wealth of knowledge he brings to the role. With a rare background in both land conservation and horticulture, Mr King’s expertise is an enormous asset to the gardens. Spending the first 30 years of his life in the semiarid, regional town of Whyalla, South Australia, some people may think it’s an odd choice for Mr King to choose a career in the lush field of horticulture. “One of the main reasons why I got into horticulture way back in the day was because one resident grew Santa Ana Couch - which was pretty rare, it was usually Kikuyu or Buffalo,” he said. “I was maybe just starting high school, and I’d get to it and take my shoes off, because it was just such a different feel to the Buffalo - it just switched me across to horticulture.” Mr King and his family then moved to the Adelaide Hills for the next 20 years to run a production nursery. During his time there, he really immersed himself in his studies - gaining a Cert III in Amenity Horticulture and Cert IV in Production Horticulture, before moving onto a Bachelor of Environmental Science. This allowed him to begin his extensive 20-year career as an educator, delivering training in horticulture, conservation land management and arboriculture across Certificate and Diploma levels. Mr King trained up landscapers under a civil education company in Adelaide for seven years, then worked with apprentices for another five. Craving a break from horticulture, he travelled to the Northern Territory to take a job with Charles Darwin University in conservation land management. Here, he was privileged to spend three years experiencing the top end, visiting Indigenous Protected Areas and communities, before deciding to return south. This time, to Victoria. Initially taking up a job as a Training and Development coordinator with Shepparton Country Fire Authority, Mr King and his wife found themselves in Wellington Shire after he transferred to Sale CFA. “I realised I was missing horticulture, because

Sale’s a really pretty place, that’s the first thing that really struck us when we moved here,” he said. He began with TAFE Gippsland, working at Sale, Morwell and Forestec; near Lakes Entrance. “We used to walk down here (to the Sale Botanic Gardens) quite a bit on Saturday mornings, and working from home allowed me to visit most

mornings before I started at 9am, so I was walking around here all the time,” he said. “I spoke to the previous horticulturist Paul May a couple of times, and just thought to myself, ‘this is a gig. This would be fantastic’.” And then, a door opened. The curator job was advertised.

While Mr King’s extensive background hasn’t included working with peacocks before, Wellington Shire Council was keen to see what insight he could bring to the role. “I’m excited - we’ve got some really exciting projects underway at the moment,” he said. “I want it to be a tranquil space where people can come and spend five minutes, spend an hour, spend a day.” With a background firmly rooted in education, Mr King has plans to further learning and scientific opportunities in the gardens, and was recently delighted to take a group of Yarram Secondary School students through for a career day. He also recently met the Friends of the Sale Botanic Gardens amid sideways rain and icy winds, but was amazed to see how enthusiastic the group was, even in glacial conditions. “They’ve all got a great feel for the garden. I’m really happy to have them on board,” he said. While he doesn’t have a favourite part of the garden just yet, the Ulmus Collection is certainly growing on him, and not just because of his likeness to the collection’s Jolly Swagman sculpture by John Brady. “I’ve got a bit of a thing for trees, and there’s a great collection of trees here. The Elms, when they’re properly in leaf, will be extra special. If you get a bit of time there to just sit … it’s quite a nice spot,” he said. “The Bill Cane Collection is also going to be really specky when that gets up. I also really like the playground because there’s always so many people there loving it, and the Summer Walk (along the edge of Lake Guthridge) is also pretty special. “I think the whole crew are all on the same page. We really want to lift the profile of Sale Botanic Gardens. “I can see the potential here. I want to make it the reason why people come to Sale.”

Fourth time’s the charm for Thor

THE latest superhero blockbuster from Marvel Studios, Thor: Love and Thunder has arrived in cinemas. Our resident film buffs Tom Parry and Stefan Bradley went to check it out. TP: Another month, another Marvel movie, and this one we’ve been anticipating more than most. Stefan, what did you make of Thor: Love and Thunder? SB: This of course is the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the direct sequel to Thor: Ragnarok, which is in my top three in terms of favourite MCU movies. Love and Thunder shares the same director as Ragnarok, Taika Waititi - the Kiwi king of comedy - who is one of my favourite filmmakers. I don’t think this one is quite as good as Ragnarok, but it comes close. It’s exactly what you would expect from Taika Waititi, but it still feels original, especially compared to the other Marvel movies. TP: I agree. The plot sees Thor (Chris Hemsworth) undergoing a midlife crisis of sorts, unsure as to his purpose, until he is beckoned to stop the murderous, universe-wide rampage of Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) alongside old flame Dr Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) who now shares the same powers he does. Although this is a narrative about space vikings and intergalactic supervillains, the conflicts here feel very relatable, almost human. The antagonist is a surprisingly compelling and interesting figure - I think that Christian Bale’s Gorr is one of the best, if not THE best villain that the MCU has offered so far. SB: I’m not sure about Gorr being the best, but he has a simple, straightforward goal, and his reasons for doing so are justified in the movie, so he was a well-written character. Some of the most memorable scenes feature Gorr, so I wish there was more of him in the movie. I am really glad they brought Jane Foster back; she was very funny, but also lent a surprising amount of emotion to the film - I mean, Love and Thunder is a love story, it says as much in the title, but it was more emotional than I thought. The soundtrack is great too, especially if you love Guns ‘n’ Roses.

Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). Images: Marvel Studios

TP: Yes, a number of their songs can be heard in the film, and I suspect that’s where most of Marvel’s money went - securing the rights to the music of Axl, Slash and co. SB: The cast is strong - the actors from Guardians of the Galaxy reprise their roles here, but they’re dismissed almost as soon as they appear. TP: That’s true - they’re pretty much superfluous to the story. SB: Even so, Waititi manages to integrate them into the story in a way that didn’t make them entirely pointless - they appear early on in a scene that basically acknowledges Thor is overpowered. TP: In terms of what I didn’t enjoy, Russell Crowe’s Zeus was a bit strange - I think certain cultural groups may find his accent borderline offensive. He’s definitely an eccentric and memorable character, but I don’t feel that his

performance was good or humorous, even though that’s what he was obviously aiming for. SB: Yeah, I suppose Rusty didn’t really add much to the conflict; he’s more or less the obstacle to a powerful weapon. But overall, I would say Love and Thunder is a great movie. It’s high energy, the cast is strong and the presentation feels fresh. Even though Ragnarok is a bit better in my eyes, I’m looking forward to what they do next with Thor - I feel like they could probably do more with this character, even though at this point, he’s probably had more MCU appearances than Iron Man. TP: Not quite, but he’s getting there. Chris Hemsworth has said that he’s going to keep playing Thor and being in Thor movies as long as Taika Waititi’s involved - which is a good sign for us, since we both enjoy Taika’s filmography. SB: This movie and Ragnarok pretty much render the first two Thor movies obsolete. I don’t want to watch those earlier films anymore, because they’ve pretty much turned Thor from such a serious godlike figure into a really fun, goofy, life-loving dude. His character has absolutely changed since his debut, and for the better. TP: I must add though, you wouldn’t want to be lactose-intolerant if you’re watching these movies, because they do have a lot of cheese. SB: Yes, if you like your movies cheesy, then you’ll like Love and Thunder; if you like the Marvel movies, then this is a great movie to see; and if you’re a Taika Waititi fan - even if you only like his independent, low-budget, original work, I think you’ll still like this, because it does feel absolutely distinct from all the other Marvel movies. TP: I concur. If you enjoy films which are

visually distinctive, which have really creative and zany action sequences, and the occasional moments of humour, then Thor: Love and Thunder is the movie for you. Thor: Love and Thunder is rated M for fantasy themes and action violence, and now showing at Sale Cinema.

Thor: Love and Thunder is screening now.

Coalition urges checks

VFF urging int. travellers to help prevent spread of FMD

THE Victorian Liberals and Nationals are calling for bolstered biosecurity to stop the catastrophic incursion of FMD, following the detection of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in cows in Indonesia last May. One of the most serious livestock diseases, FMD is a highly contagious virus affecting cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, buffalo, camels, sheep, goats, deer and pigs. FMD causes serious production losses, and significantly impacts the trade in livestock and livestock products as countries without the disease, many of which are Australia’s major trading partners, do not import from or severely restrict imports from FMD-infected countries. Australia has been free of FMD since 1872 due to strict quarantine and biosecurity protocols, but fears among those in government are rising, as thousands of Australians travel to the tropical island nation of Indonesia to escape the winter, increasing the risk of an FMD outbreak. Leader of The Nationals, Peter Walsh said: “Ironclad safeguards must be put in place to protect the health of livestock, our farmers’ livelihoods and the economic prosperity of our $80 billion agriculture sector”. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) predicts “a multistate FMD outbreak in Australia could cost the Australian economy up to $50 billion over 10 years, primarily due to trade restrictions”. A “small, contained” outbreak in Victoria would see the state’s economy take a more than $5-6 billion hit. To prevent FMD in Australia, the Victorian Liberals and Nationals are calling on the federal government to immediately bolster biosecurity inspections of travellers arriving from anywhere in

THE Victorian Farmers Federation is encouraging international travellers to enact simple preventative measures to help keep the potentially devastating Foot and Mouth (FMD) livestock disease out of Australia. VFF president Emma Germano said that news of the disease reaching the popular holiday island of Bali in neighbouring Indonesia is very concerning for farmers. “The risk of tourists unknowingly bringing home Foot and Mouth is very real,” she said. “We’ve kept it out of Australia for over 100 years and we need to do all we can to keep it that way. “The reality is that if FMD enters Australia, our cows, sheep, pigs and any cloven-hoofed animal will be at serious risk from this highly contagious disease.” Ms Germano added travellers can help stop its spread by implementing these three simple measures when holidaying or returning from Indonesia: -Have your clothes packed and cleaned at your local laundromat while on holiday. This ensures any clothes are free from dirt and/or potential contaminants and packed away before returning; -Make sure your shoes (sole tread, sides and upper) have been thoroughly cleaned and are free from soil or other possible contaminants. This eliminates any possible residues and reduces possible contamination, and; -Avoid encounters with cows, pigs, sheep and general livestock. Avoid patting, getting up close to, or being in proximity to these animals while on holiday. Ms Germano said that a combination of traveller preventative measures and an increased federal government biosecurity safety net is the best chance to stop the spread in its tracks. “With flights between Victoria and Bali departing a number of times each day, we can’t afford for a disease superhighway to open up between Denpasar and Victoria,” she said. “We need to act and it must be now.”

FMD would be catastrophic to Australian livestock. Indonesia. “Comprehensive biosecurity checks at the airport must see every single arrival questioned on their overseas travel and that footwear, in particular, is sterilised or destroyed to protect our borders from a catastrophic incursion of FMD,” Mr Walsh said. “These checks must come in addition to an increase in border security personnel at the arrivals gate, and the signed declaration asking if people have been in contact with animals, animal products or rural areas in their time outside of Australia. “I will be writing to incoming federal Agriculture Minister Murray Watt for a guarantee that the

Commonwealth will better protect Australian and Victorian farmers and livestock against FMD as a priority.” FMD is highly contagious among livestock, and outbreaks can decimate the industry due to the export market closures, production disruption, significant flow-on social impacts, and economic losses for all regional businesses involved in agriculture. For more information about FMD and the latest updates on Australia’s biosecurity, visit the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website at https://www.agriculture.gov.au/.

Record numbers of baby black bream detected

A RECORD number of baby black bream has been detected in the Gippsland Lakes following a survey conducted by the Victorian Fisheries Authority. The survey found the number of baby black bream was more than twice the previous peak in 2017. The annual surveys measure the numbers of newborn black bream between five and eight centimeters, compared to the previous spawning season. The variation in spawning success depends on environmental conditions. Minister for Fishing and Boating Sonya Kilkenny said baby black bream were a popular target for fishers “It’s great to see a record number detected in the Gippsland Lakes,” Ms Kilkenny said. “It all forms part of our $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan to get more people fishing more often and spend time on the water with family, friends and loved ones.” The state government’s Gippsland Lakes

Recreational Fishery Plan was designed to improve fish stocks and aquatic habitats, with limits in place to protect large bream as they produce more eggs. Fishos can also launch a boat for free in the Gippsland Lakes, with ramp upgrades complete

at Seacombe and progressing at North Arm on Bullock Island. Other projects include plans for an all-abilities pontoon at Apex Park in Lakes Entrance, and $600,000 to redevelop boating facilities at Shaving Point in Metung.

Grants awarded in dairy region

Past grantees, 2022 grantees and leadership fellows of the Gardiner Scholarship programs. “This is a reflection of how the last couple of years have impacted remote, rural and regional community groups, and a great reminder of why it’s important to engage in conversations with the locals on the ground and find out how we can adapt our approach to better serve the needs of their communities. “We are delighted to have maintained such a strong partnership with Gardiner Dairy Foundation for the last two decades.” Community groups were presented with their funds at a series of ceremonies held in the regions during June and July. A complete list of the projects supported is available on FRRR’s website. Here are a few of the projects from the Gippsland Dairy Region:

Port Albert Maritime Museum: Recevied $5000 for the Letting History Speak project to enhance tourism experience at the museum with audio installations to increase inclusivity and access. Newry Hall Upper Maffra Mechanics Institute Incorporated: Recevied $3000 for the Hall Internet Connection, to reduce the digital divide for the Newry community, with the provision of enhanced internet infrastructure at the Newry Hall. The Aboriginal Literacy Foundation Inc Bairnsdale: Recevied $5000 to enhance literacy outcomes for Indigenous primary school children with a dedicated tutoring program.

TWENTY-ONE projects in Victoria’s main dairy regions - Gippsland, northern Victoria, and south-west Victoria - have been awarded $91,833 in grants to help build the capacity of local community organisations and improve digital connectivity. The grants are through the Gardiner Dairy Foundation Community Grants Program, which is delivered by the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR). This marks the 20th year of the program, which has seen more than 500 grants awarded, valued at more than $2 million during that time. The latest round of grants of up to $5000 will go to grassroots organisations and not-for-profits that are critical to the sustainability of dairy farming in Victoria. Gardiner Dairy Foundation chief executive, Allan Cameron said he was delighted to continue supporting dairying communities. “After 20 years, the Community Grants Program continues to support Victorian regions that are reliant on the dairy industry,” he said. “Local groups play an important role in enhancing the vitality of these communities. “These grants will help local organisations in many small towns to thrive, with initiatives that range from COVID recovery and disaster preparedness, to improved digital capabilities and facility upgrades. “The grants help to ensure the viability of these organisations.” FRRR chief executive Natalie Egleton said there was strong demand for this kind of support. “Half of the projects receiving funding are geared towards building organisational capacity or improving access to the internet or digital technologies,” she said.

Expo looks at wild dog management plan The National Wild Dog Action Plan “is ideal” for tackling the emerging feral pig problem in Victoria, according to management coordinator Greg Mifsud. Mr Mifsud was talking to landholders at an Agriculture Victoria pest animal management expo held in the Upper Murray last month. The expo was held after landholders had been raising concerns around pest animals in bushfire

recovery efforts amid what had taken place. Guest speakers included representatives from wild dog, fox, feral pig, and feral cat management taskforces, along with government agencies and pest management organisations. Mr Mifsud said wild dog managers could be used to control feral pigs on private and public land under the National Feral Pig Taskforce.

He said there were synergies between managing wild dogs and other pest species with coordinated management. “There is a real opportunity to use the same process we use for wild dogs with the zone control and landcare groups already in operation benefiting from a wild dog and fox management in an integrated approach,” Mr Misfud said. “Going forward, it gives us the framework for a similar approach to get on top of the feral pig problem before it becomes a widespread issue. “Through DELWP and Agriculture Victoria, we can start to implement some of those feral pig management programs using the same structures and community groups in the wild dog space.” Mr Mifsud said the Victoria Wild Dog Program was one of the most successful in the country, with a 70 per cent decline in livestock attacks in affected regions in the past 10 years. He said the success was through a combination of aerial and ground baiting and a cooperation between primary producers and public land managers. National Feral Cat and Fox coordinator Gillian Basnett said the success of the wild dog action plan provided an excellent example of what could be achieved with integrated pest management. “That is farmers, land managers, pest controllers and community groups talking and working together and where multiple species are targeted,” Ms Basnett said. “When talking to participants at the pest animal management expos it was this success, along with the well-established relationships between communities and government agencies, that made people more receptive to the possibility and need to manage other pest species such as feral pigs, foxes and feral cats.”

In Memoriam

CRICKET fans in Gippsland will once again get the chance to experience elite cricket as part of a three-match festival, when the WBBL debuts in Moe later this year. The Melbourne Stars will play the Perth Scorchers and the Brisbane Heat, while the Melbourne Renegades will also play the Scorchers in a jam-packed festival weekend of the WBBL across November 19-20. It will be the first time that the Stars WBBL Team has played in Moe, after the Stars BBL team first played at Ted Summerton Reserve in in January 2019. Along with the support of the state government and Latrobe City Council, the festival weekend is designed to inspire the next generation of female cricketers, as well as feature the region. Melbourne Stars wicketkeeper and former Trafalgar Cricket Club player Nicole Faltum said she was thrilled to have the opportunity to play close to home. “After two years of the WBBL away from not only Melbourne but Victoria, I can’t wait to play in front of friends and family in Moe in November,” she said. “It will be great to get among the regional community that means so much to myself and the Stars, and to have the elite women’s domestic cricket competition in my own backyard where I grew up will be pretty special.” Victorian Minister for Sport Steve Dimopoulos

After being on the road for the previous two seasons, Melbourne Stars general manager Blair Crouch welcomed the chance to get back to the region. “We can’t wait to get to Moe and showcase the WBBL, which is the best domestic women’s cricket competition in the world,” he said. “I’d like to thank both the Victorian government and the Latrobe City Council for their work and ongoing support in being able to deliver such an experience for members of the region. “We know we can make a positive impact on Moe and the Gippsland region and we hope we can continue our strong form at Ted Summerton Reserve, having won both games there previously in the BBL.” Latrobe City Mayor Cr Kellie O’Callaghan said all were looking forward to welcoming more elite sport to the Valley. “We are thrilled to welcome Australia’s leading female cricketers to Moe in November for a fantastic weekend of play,” she said. “This is a major event for our sporting calendar, which will serve as inspiration for local upcoming players, showcase our facilities, bring visitors to our city and support our economy.”

STADIUM lights illuminated the field and a large crowd gathered at Stephenson Park on Saturday evening, as Sale City Youth Girls and Woodside Youth Girls took the field for their special Round 11 ‘Pink Sock’ match. Players and field umpires wore bright pink socks, kindly provided by Bendigo Bank Sale and Maffra, as part of the fundraising efforts for Sale local charity, Footprints Foundation. In addition to their bright pink socks, the girls from Sale City wore pink long sleeve tops under their playing jumpers, creating a sea of pink. Sale City won the coin toss, conducted by president of Footprints Foundation Jamie Dorning. It was a frantic-paced game; both teams showcased their skills and talents

in a wonderful demonstration of how far Youth Girls Football has come in the past five years. Sale City ended the night on top with a hard-fought win. Acacia Sutton from Sale City was judged as best-on-ground with nine goals. Dorning presented Woodside Youth Girls Grace Dillow the Footprints Foundation Medallion for the Most Determined Player. The evening concluded with a raffle draw organised by Sale City Youth Girls, which saw them raise just over $1400 for Footprints Foundation. After a successful night of football and fun, the Sale City Youth Girls are determined to make the Pink Sock Game an annual tradition.

CLOSE calls were the order of the day in East Gippsland football. Of the four matches played in Round 13, two were decided by five points, while another saw only 14-points the difference at the final siren. STRATFORD won a competitive game against Orbost Snowy Rovers. The Swans got the job done in a 9.9 (63) to 8.1 (49) performance at home to keep second spot on the ladder. The Blues proved a hard team to shake, and finished strongly, kicking two goals and keeping Stratford scoreless in the last quarter. Orbost Snowy Rovers held a two-point lead at the first break, but the Swans then gained the ascendency, and added eight goals to four over the next two quarters. Stratford came out after the main break up-and-firing, and kicked six goals to set up a comfortable, but by no means safe, 26-point lead. The Blues could have been forgiven for thinking a famous upset was on the cards as they cut the margin back to 14-points during the last term, but time eventually became their biggest enemy. Despite the result, the profile of the match was evidence Orbost Snowy Rovers are continuing to track in the right direction. For a team on the bottom of the ladder, the Blues have been more than competitive this season, with their last few weeks showing very encouraging signs. Since Round 8, the team has drawn two matches, and lost games by only three, 12 and 14 points. As well as this, Orbost Snowy Rovers kicked 12 goals against top side Wy Yung - only one other East Gippsland team has managed more in a game against the Tigers this season. Best players for the Blues against Stratford were Jordan Ross, Wesley Russell, Aiden Giove, Mitchell Fenner, Will Herbert and Max Welsh. The Swans found solid contributions from Dylan Cartwright, Gavin Bickery, James Channing, Jesse Broadbent, Tim Hector and Alex Morcom. Youngster Ben Dekkers made his senior debut, and was able to kick the Swans’ first

In celebration of NAIDOC Week, Stratford wore specially designed Indigenous jumpers for the match. Players took part in a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, while best-on-ground winners received medals name in honour of former Stratford player Reg Saunders. BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG can now only hope to play finals. The Bombers’ destiny is out of their hands, after they dropped the bundle against Paynesville 11.6 (72) to 9.13 (67). Taking to their home ground, BoisdaleBriagolong led by 13-points at three quarter time, but capitulated terribly in the last, only scoring one point, while the Guls scored three goals. The Bombers looked set to achieve victory during the second quarter, after they kicked six goals and went into the main break with a three-goal gap on their opponents. However, the script was flipped in the second half as Paynesville did virtually the same, scoring half a dozen majors, keeping Boisdale-Briagolong to only two goals themselves.

In wet and slippery conditions, the winners were well-served by David Ashworth, Ben McKinnon, Nick Pincott, Matt Silva, Beau Haslam and Josh Cameron. For the Bombers, Kel Porter, Cal Egan, Paddy Mack, Ben Wilkinson, Jim Reeves and Andrew Quirk played well. With nine losses to their name, BoisdaleBriagolong’s finals chances now carry the dreaded tagline of ‘mathematically possible and needing other results to go their way’. The chances of the Bombers qualifying for the post-season now look remote, and one more defeat will officially put a red line through them for season 2022. WY YUNG all but sewed up the minor premiership. The Tigers broke away from a determined Lakes Entrance, winning 13.9 (87) to 6.7 (43). LINDENOW won a thriller against Lucknow. The match was befitting of one between teams ranked third and fourth, as the Cats got up 11.14 (80) to 11.9 (75). Lindenow held a 20-point lead at the main break, but had to hold on for dear life as the visiting Magpies came storming home. EAST GIPPY SCOREBOARD - PAGE 25

City emerges as worthy finals contender Scott Berechree

WHEN sides fifth through eighth, separated by just a single win, meet with around a month of home-and-away footy remaining in the season, you might expect a couple of really close tussles and a shake-up of the ladder. Strangely enough though, after Round 13 of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League season was run and won, the ladder remained unchanged, and at least one of the games was over before half-time. Thankfully, another provided an epic finish that will likely be spoken about for many years to come. WITH both sides still in the finals mix, Sale City stamped their credentials as valid when they ran riot over a disappointing Heyfield. If things weren’t bad enough for a goalless Kangaroos side at half-time when they trailed 7.9 (51) to 0.4 (4), they were just plain awful at the final break as Heyfield, still yet to register a major, went to the huddle 85-points in arrears. Even without dominating the scoreboard as he has in the past, Dr Sam Davidson was putting on a clinic for the tri-colours with yet another best-on-ground performance. Jaxsyn Whitehall joined him in the best players list with four majors, while Ben Brett led all comers with a bag of five. The final scoreboard read Sale City 14.16 (100) to Heyfield 2.8 (20). Heyfield finally managed to boot a pair of goals, with one each to Jesse Bedggood and Tyson Graham with James Conway and Brayden Woodland named the best for them. IN the only game of the round that saw two top five sides clash it was mostly one way traffic when Yarram made their first ever trip to Yallourn Yallourn North. Much has been spoken about Yarram’s injuries this season, and you know things are grim when they are unable to field a reserves side, as happened Saturday. But when players pull on their Demon jersey there is an expectation of effort, and while they were undermanned, the visitors managed to keep in touch with the ladder

leaders for a large portion of the game, before going down 14.10 (94) to 6.10 (46). Indeed, halfway through the third term the Demons were still in the contest, however it was here that the Jets found a gear, and in the end the home side ran away eight- goal victors. YYN president Evan Sheekey noted his side had to fight hard for every opportunity and was full of praise for Yarram’s ruckman- cum-key forward Dan Vardy. It was the efforts of the evergreen Griffin Underwood that impressed Sheekey the most though. Interestingly, Underwood is still being used across half-back, even without several first choice onballers available, but Sheekey was in no doubt he would have picked up another raft of votes in Yarram’s best-and-fairest on Saturday. Arguably well held by David Coulthard, Dean MacDonald still managed three goals for the Jets, as did Josh Keyhoe. Beston-ground Keenan Hughes was the chief destroyer with five. Liam Bentley and Kiefer Sutherland took it in turns to try and negate the high-marking, long-kicking Jet forward, but ultimately it was Hughes who lit the fuse for YYN late in the game, and ensured his side would maintain top spot. A spot they own courtesy of their superior percentage over second placed Churchill. THE Cougars did their best to bridge that gap with a huge win over Gormandale. With Ben Kearns returning to the side after injury, it was he again who caused the most damage for the visiting Tiger line-up. When he slotted his first major inside a minute expectations were high for another big bag and the little big man didn’t disappoint. Kearns finished with 12, which takes his personal total to 23 for the season against Gormamdale. Thankfully for the Tiger defenders, Kearns was rested for most of the last term. His absence didn’t stop the onslaught however, with Churchill running out 186point victors 31.20 (206) to 2.8 (20). As if it was 2002 and not 2022, the Churchill goal-kickers list saw the name Tim Darby

included, with the regular non-playing coach being one of the winners’ seven multiple-goal kickers. Ryan ‘Chompers’ Lowrie got his teeth into four majors to find himself on the best players list, along with Kearns, but it was Chris Williams who was named best-on for the Cougars in his namesake’s 300th club match. For Gormandale, Jarryd Garlick and Danny Jago were the solitary goal-kickers, each slotting majors in the last term, while Jamie Bassi, Jai Foulkes and Trent Baldwin were named best. TRARALGON Tyers United did their best to keep up with the league leaders, and in doing so, cemented third spot on the ladder with a neat 50-point win over an inaccurate Glengarry. With both sides registering four scores in a tight first quarter, it was only accuracy that saw the Bombers take a near-on three goal lead into the first break. Unfortunately for the travelling Magpies they fared no better in the second term, and only marginally better in the third, as they registered a woeful 1.11 (17) as their three quarter time score. The Bombers on the other hand managed 8.8 (56) from their 16 shots and had an unassailable break at the last change. The final margin and score line of 11.14 (80) to 3.12 (30) undervalued the Glengarry effort, but when all is said and done, if you can’t kick the ball through the big sticks you don’t win too often. For TTU, Beau White and Brad Kelleher managed five and four respectively, with White named the Bombers’ best for the day. Usual suspects Michael Jacobsen and Liam Willaton were also among the better performers for the victors. For Glengarry, it was a case of what might have been, with only three of their 15 scoring shots raising the dual calicos. Callum Mitchell, Michael Ryan and Lachlan Patterson were named best on for the Magpies. COWWARR enjoyed Saturday off courtesy of the bye.

Tipsters keep happy in the Gippy League Liam Durkin THERE was no huge surprises in Round 13 of the Gippsland League. All starting favourites prevailed, in what was essentially a ‘get through’ weekend for clubs, as finals are still not quite on the horizon. Away from the on-field action there was an important initiative, as the league ran a Mental Health Round. A player from each football grade was selected as a ‘mental health champion’ and wore a special ‘Number 0’ guernsey, while players all sported blue arm bands in support of better mental health. TRARALGON returned to the winners list. The Maroons defeated a spirited Moe by 39-points, getting up 15.10 (100) to 8.13 (61). An even first quarter was followed by a dominant second term from Traralgon, during which time they kicked six goals to one. This effectively ensured the Maroons could manage the rest of the game, and for the most part, they looked to have things relatively under control. Maroons captain Dylan Loprese kicked three goals to be among the best players. His partner in crime, former AFL player, Brett Eddy nabbed half a dozen, and statistically at least was seen by some to be the difference

given he kicked 36 and Traralgon won by 39. Maroons midfield gun Mark Collison again proved age is no barrier, collecting 39 touches, and received good support from Tye Hourigan, Haydn Hector and Conor Little. Lion-hearted ruckman Ben Morrow was best for Moe. Others to perform well were Brock Smith, Harri Sim, Scott Van Dyk and Riley and Trent Baldi. MORWELL kept a good thing going against Warragul. The Tigers made it four wins on the trot after prevailing 20.9 (129) to 10.8 (68), and in doing so, entered the top five as a result. Travelling to Western Park, the men wearing yellow and black blew the game open in the first term, kicking seven straight. From there, the Tigers rarely faulted, and added 10 goals over the next two quarters. Brandon McDonald and Tristen Waack kicked nine goals between them, while prime movers Tyler Hillier, Tyler Brown, Boyd Bailey and Aidan Quigley were in the thick of the action. For Warragul, former Carlton player Jed Lamb continued his stunning work in front of goal, kicking five. Lamb has already kicked 51 goals for the season, a remarkable effort in a side that has only won three games.

Lamb’s old Carlton teammate Nick Graham also featured in the best, as did Mitch Smart, Patrick Ireland, Mitch Nobelius and Jye Nooy. LEONGATHA put Bairnsdale to the sword. The Parrots kept their unbeaten streak intact, winning 19.23 (137) to 8.2 (50). The visitors had the game won at half-time, and were up by 52-points, before extending that to 87 by full time. Cam Olden kicked five to be in the best, along with Cameron Stone, Aaron Heppell, Tom Marriott, Aaron Turton and Luther Juric. Josh Wykes, Logan Austin, John Gooch, Brayden McCarrey, Simon Deery and Sam Park battled hard for the Redlegs. WONTHAGGI did a number on Drouin. The Power showed the Harks no mercy, winning 17.16 (118) to 2.4 (16) at home. Drouin’s score line was the equal-fifth lowest in Gippsland League history for a Round 13 game. Flynn Anderson, Andrew Murray, Josh Bates, Aiden Lindsay, Kyle Reid and Toma Huther were best in the win. Drouin found honest contributions from Jack Fraser, Charlie Wans, Tom Barr, Callum Tyler, Ryan Taylor and Tim Hancock. Wonthaggi holds outright second by half a game from Traralgon, Sale and Morwell.

Vale to a local Norm Smith Medal winner Liam Durkin

LOCAL football followers mourned the death of Hawthorn premiership player Paul Dear on Saturday. Dear, from Churchill, died following a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 55. He played 123 games for the Hawks between 1987 and 1996, saving his best for the 1991 grand final, where he collected the Norm Smith Medal. In that best-on-ground display, he had 18 kicks, eight handballs, 11 marks and two goals as Hawthorn won their ninth premiership with a 53-point win over West Coast. Due to the star-billing of some of the players around him, he has been remembered as something of an unlikely grand final hero. Season 1991 proved to be a year of firsts - the first grand final played at Waverley (due to construction of the Great Southern Stand at the MCG), the first grand final to feature a team from outside Victoria, and the first time a Batmobile was used in the pre-match entertainment. Dear made his senior debut for Churchill as a 16-year-old in 1983, winning a premiership that same season.

Sale’s biggest night of boxing Zoe Askew

THE ultimate night of boxing is hitting Sale this Saturday. Some of the top fighters from across the state will converge on the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex for Wildfighter Round 8. Stratford’s Max Reeves and Bairnsdale’s Blake Wells headline the evening, which also features local fighters Lucy Avage, brothers Jhon Cotejos and Peter Pirona, and Codie Hodges, who will be making his amateur boxing career debut.

Never before has Sale hosted a sporting event of this calibre, so in anticipation of Wildfighter Round 8, the Gippsland Times sat down with some of the local boxing stars who are taking the ring.

Max Reeves

MAD Max Reeves; the man, the myth, the legend. Born on July 18, 2000, in Brisbane, Queensland, Reeves moved to Maffra briefly at the age of three before setting roots in Stratford. Nearing the end of primary school, Reeves was

ambitious to start boxing, leading him to late Stratford boxing legend Dennis Booth, who won Bronze at the 1966 Commonwealth Games, and came within one punch of fighting Muhammad Ali. Booth mentored a young Reeves, training weights and working on the bags. As Reeves entered high school he then came to be coached by RUFit founder and boxing trainer Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll. Fast forward three years, with the coaching and guidance from Turk, a 15-year-old Reeves defeated Canberra’s Lorenzo Daly in the Australian Boxing Championships final on the Gold Coast, taking the Under 16 title with a third-round technical knock-out. Reeves made his pro boxing debut in 2019 and remains undefeated, with four wins and a draw, ranking fifth nationally in the Super Middleweight division. Heading into his sixth professional boxing fight of his career, Mad Max Reeves is hell bent on a win against opponent Leo Grant, maintaining his undefeated title. Q: Why boxing? A: I used to jump around the house and that, trying to hit me old man. He got me to try it out, and I just loved it. Q: Who is your boxing idol? A: Will (Tomlinson) definitely was when he was fighting. Like, he was a bloke who trained in the same town, and my end goal is that I want to have a career like his. If I get the chance to, I want to win a world title and get on to that world stage. Q: What is the most challenging aspect of boxing? A: Probably the early morning runs and just training, like you’re training every night. Diet’s definitely another one. Towards the end of your diet, the end of your fight week, you’re pretty drained and grumpy and hungry. Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of boxing? A: Definitely getting your hand risen at the end of a fight, just that feeling you get from it. Another awesome feeling is when you are walking out, and everyone is cheering ya. The

Stratford boxer Max Reeves will headline Wildfighter Round 8. Photo: Zoe Askew last time I fought (Wildfighter) in Bairnsdale, I was super nervous, but once you walk out and everyone’s yelling for ya, your nerves go away, and it makes you feel like your fighting for something. It’s pretty unreal. Q: Where do you see your boxing career headed? A: I don’t really know? I just wanna see where it takes me, I guess. I haven’t really got any plans, just keep bumping up the opponents, quality opponents and see how far I can get it. Q: What are your thoughts on your coach, Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll? A: He is a legend. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach; he is like my second dad. He is super passionate about what he does and doesn’t take any money or anything for it. His reward, I guess, is watching you improve and win.

coming this Saturday at GRSC Q: How are you feeling about Wildfighter Round 8 at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex this Saturday? A: I am pretty excited for it, especially to fight in front of a home crowd, a lot of my friends and family will be there, and a lot of locals are getting around and supporting it.

really didn’t know that much about boxing until I started boxing for my first fight, but I have followed her (Nicolson) for a while and admire her. She puts in the work and achieves what she wants to achieve.

Q: What is the most challenging aspect of boxing?

Brothers Jhon Cotejos and Peter Pirona (right), with trainer Jeremy Joiner. The brothers will take part in Wildfighter action this Saturday night in Sale. Photo: Zoe Askew Q: What are your thoughts on your coach, Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll? A: He is a great bloke. As nice as he is, he’ll give you a good kick up the bum if you’re not training hard enough, but that’s the great thing about him. He takes a lot of care in his fighters and always makes time for everyone. Q: How are you feeling about Wildfighter Round 8 at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex this Saturday? A: I am very excited, bit nervous, being in my hometown I’m gonna have lots of mates there but it should be really good.

Peter Pirona

BORN in the Philippines on January 31, 1998, Peter Pirona moved to Sale when he was 13. Growing up, Peter and his older brother Jhon Cotejos, who is also fighting in Wildfighter Round 8 this Saturday, would regularly spar with each other. Though it wasn’t until six years ago, when he moved to Melbourne, that Pirona started training at a proper gym. Originally, boxing wasn’t on Pirona’s radar, with his sights set on MMA, accumulating numerous amateur fights under his belt. Pirona decided to try his hand at boxing, entering into amateur boxing fights in which his brother saw pro potential. Moving back to Sale from Melbourne, Pirona focused his attention on boxing, training alongside his brother, coached by Jeremy Joiner. In 2021, Pirona was crowned Victorian Amateur Boxing League heavyweight champion. He steps into the ring on Saturday night, taking on Leo Forchin. Q: Why boxing? A: One day my brother just asked me if I wanted to go pro, and I said ‘yeah’. I still train in MMA every now and again but sort of more focusing on boxing. Q: Who is your boxing idol? A: It would have to be Manny Pacquiao. Q: What is the most challenging aspect of boxing? A: The training and the preparation for a fight. It’s here you put in all the hard work, effort and time, whereas the fight only goes for 30-minutes max. But that’s just what we do; you gotta love it.

Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of boxing? A: Winning for sure. It just brings you this joy but regardless of winning or losing (it’s rewarding), just being able to step into the ring. Q: Where do you see your boxing career headed? A: I am going to go as far as I can in my boxing career. Q: What are your thoughts on your coach, Jeremy Joiner? A: He is awesome, he has been my coach for a while now and coached my brother even longer, and we have built this really good relationship. He is just awesome. Q: How are you feeling about Wildfighter Round 8 at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex this Saturday? A: Grateful, pretty grateful. I am also nervous, nervous, but excited.

Lucy Avage

BORN on June 16, 1996, in Bairnsdale, Lucy Avage stepped onto the boxing scene in 2019 when she moved from her childhood town of Metung to the big smoke, Melbourne. When Avage signed up to a Melbourne gym, boxing was purely a way for her to get fit, but in 2021 when she moved back home, fate had other plans. Avage joined Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll’s gym RUFit to continue her fitness journey, and by November 2021, she stepped into the ring for her first fight, debuting as a female amateur boxer - and won. Avage faces Kim Thorsen in Wildfighter Round 8. Fighting gender roles, Avage hopes to prove women can shoot for their sporting and personal goals, no matter what. Q: Why boxing? A: Originally, I was doing it just for fitness as opposed to only going to the gym and working. Then Wildfighter was coming to Bairnsdale, which was last year in November. Whilst I was always interested in it (boxing), I never really gave it a crack and one day, Turk asked me if I would like to have a go. So it all just went from there. Q: Who is your boxing idol? A: There is only one person I really follow along, and that’s Skye Nicolson. She is a young girl my age and has been boxing her whole life. I

Q: Where do you see your boxing career headed? A: I will definitely keep training and keep trying to improve and learn because I do love it. Q: What are your thoughts on your coach, Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll? A: There is not a bad word you can say about him. He has definitely helped me A LOT since I said yes to fighting. He puts belief behind you. He teaches us and really takes the time to help us improve and help us learn. Turk is probably one of the best guys going around. Q: How are you feeling about Wildfighter Round 8 at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex this Saturday? A: I am excited, but I am nervous, really, really nervous. I’ve been told nerves are good, so I am just trying to ride that wave and try not to think about it too much.

BORN in Sale on December 14, 2005, 16-yearold Codie Hodges enters the ring this Saturday night at Wildfighter Round 8 in his first exhibition amateur boxing fight. Searching for a new challenge, Hodges ditched the soccer boots for boxing gloves in November 2020, commencing training with Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll in Bairnsdale. Hodges will making his debut on Saturday, fighting Alex Manssour. Q: Why boxing? A: I just wanted an individual challenge, like not so much a team sport. Like, I just like the challenge of being in the ring, one-on-one, can’t hide behind anyone. It’s just me and the other person. Q: Who is your boxing idol? A: I didn’t really have an idol going into boxing, but now I certainly look up to my trainer Paul Carroll. He is just great. He is a great trainer and has made me feel really welcomed into the club. Even outside of boxing, he is a great bloke, he does so much for the community, and I just really look up to him. Q: What is the most challenging aspect of boxing? A: I’d say making weight, having to cut out all your fatty foods, your Maccas, KFC, all the good tasting food to veggies and chicken and fish. Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of boxing? A: The most rewarding aspect, I would say, is making new friends and meeting new people along the way. You meet people from everywhere, from all over the country, all over the world. Q: Where do you see your boxing career headed? A: I would love to get my name out there a bit and turn pro once I am 18. I’d love to be headlining my own shows, but if I don’t turn pro when I am 18, I would love the chance to go to the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics.

A: The hardest part for me has been that mental challenge, believing in yourself. Believing you can get up in front of a crowd and get hit in the face and carry on. It has definitely been tough learning a whole new sport. I mean, I play netball too, and that’s what I have grown up doing, but going into something new is really challenging because there is just so much doubt and so much pressure you put on yourself. All the boys I have been training with (Reeves, Wells etc), Turk, all the other coaches and everyone around have been so encouraging, telling me to keep going. The physical side is also challenging. Making weight is hard with the whole body image stuff and having to constantly weigh yourself and check what you are eating. But for me, the mental side of things is definitely the most challenging.

Woodside players celebrate after Dan Missen kicked a goal seconds before the final siren to secure a four-point win over Rosedale.

Wildcat’s miracle win keeps campaign alive Scott Berechree WHEN Rosedale headed to Woodside on Saturday, it was season-on-the-line stuff for the travelling Blues. For Woodside, it was a chance to arrest an alarming slide that has seen them win just one of their last five outings. With so much to play for between these two evenly matched teams, it was no surprise that the result came down to the final seconds of a 33-minute long final term. It must be said though that things looked decidedly different at half-time, as a four-goal to one second term gave the visitors all the momentum heading into the long break. With Rohan Diamond and Tom Northe in everything for the Blues, it looked like Rosedale was going to run away with a win that would see

them still a chance to claim a top five position by season’s end. Woodside’s dual skippers, Daniel Missen and Ryan Foat though had other ideas. Missen’s efforts up front dragged the Wildcats back into the game, along with those of underrated goal-kicker David Waddell who finished with three majors. Foat too (who set a new games record for Woodside and District at the weekend with 250) was in everything for the Wildcats after the break. Be it winning the ruckwork at stoppages or his dominance in the air around the ground, there was no way he was going to let his side’s season go down without a fight. As the clock ticked past 20 minutes into the last term, Woodside might have been up by eight points but they were down to 17 players with Waddel sent from the field for an indiscretion. With an additional player on the park, Rosedale was now surely favourites to turn around the deficit

and grab the win for their visiting supporters. Had Sam Bristow kicked truly from the free kick awarded after the send-off, the Blues would have been within a single goal, but with at least seven or eight minutes of play remaining they’d surely get their chances. Get them they did but covert they didn’t, or so Yoda might say. After several more missed shots at goal as the clock ticked toward 30 minutes, it looked like the home side might yet hold on. Enter the stand rule. Rosedale, with ball in hand looking to have a last-minute long shot on goal from distance, were awarded a 50 metre penalty which took the shot to the goal line. The ensuing goal saw Rosedale out to a two point lead with surely only seconds to play. While the league may have adopted the stand rule, the six-six-six rule is not in play, so Rosedale did what all sides would do and loaded up the

defensive 50. For all intents and purposes they looked safe. From the stoppage Foat, palmed the ball down to Ben Johsnon. Johnson flicked a handball to Cam Whiteoak, who burst through the front of the square. His kick found the leading Missen close to the boundary line but still some 40 metres from goal. The clock ticked past 33-minutes as Missen went through his routine. Was it to be the stuff of nightmares or the stuff of dreams? With ice running through his veins the skipper sealed his best-on-ground performance by slotting the shot on goal. Just as the goal umpire was getting into his groove to signal the goal the siren rang out and Missen was mobbed by teammates and fans alike, all keen to celebrate the 10.13 (73) to 10.9 (69) win that kept the Wildcat season alive.  MORE NORTH GIPPY ON PAGE 26

Magpies too good for Eagles in local derby Liam Durkin

SWOOPING season came early at Sale Oval. SALE won the Battle of the Birds clash against rival Maffra, in a 16.14 (110) to 10.6 (66) effort. In keeping with clashes between the two sides, Sale was made to work hard for the points, as only two goals separated the combatants at the last change. A six goal to one final term however made sure of the result, and now has Sale firmly in the running to secure a double chance come Page 32 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 12 July, 2022

the end of the season. Maffra meanwhile slipped out of the top five, and are now a game behind the team above. After an even first quarter, the Magpies looked set to cruise to a relatively easy win after leading by 36-points at the main break. The Eagles however hit back, kicking five goals to one in the third to set-up a pulsating last quarter. An epic last quarter did not eventuate, and Sale, again through the work of Shannen Lange, Jack Leslie and Ryan Pendlebury, were able to break away.

Somewhat ironically, the Collingwood Magpies featuring Pendlebury’s older brother also provided a scare on the same day, before getting over the line against lowly North Melbourne. Others to play well for Sale were Cooper Whitehill, Mitch Bown and Pat Tainsh, who has proven a handy recruit since coming across from Cowwarr. The Magpies welcomed Jayden Allison and Jake McLaren back into the team, and found four goals from Jarrod Freeman - his most in a game this season. While most of the attention on the

goal-kicking list for Sale goes to Brad Dessent, the Magpies do have a lot of midfielders who can kick goals such as Lange, Kane Martin and Jack Johnstone. Lange kicked four the week prior against Bairnsdale, Martin four against Morwell in Round 9, and Johnstone five against Warragul in Round 7. Daniel Bedggood, Ben Brunt, John Butcher, Kade Renooy, Alex Carr and James Huts were best for Maffra.  MORE GIPPSLAND LEAGUE ON PAGE 27.
