GIPPSLAND voters will go to the polls on May 21 after the Federal Election was called by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday. Mr Morrison visited GovernorGeneral David Hurley to dissolve the Parliament and launch the start of a 41-day campaign. “This election is a choice between a strong economy and a Labor opposition that would weaken it,” Mr Morrison said. “It’s a choice between an economic recovery that is leading the world and a Labor opposition that would weaken it and risk it.” Labor needs to pick up eight votes on its current total of 68 to gain government and deliver a new Prime Minister in Anthony Albanese “I won’t go missing when the going gets tough,” Mr Albanese said. Polling has the Liberal-National Coalition as the outsider, with Roy Morgan showing a 57-43 gap in favour of Labor on a two-party preferred basis. One of the Coalition’s safest seats is here in Gippsland, which has been held by the Nationals for 99 years. Darren Chester polled 66.67 per cent on a two-party preferred basis at the 2019 federal election. Mr Chester, who has been in Federal Parliament since 2008, confirmed on Sunday he was ready for another election campaign. “I want to use my experience as your local Member of Parliament to keep building a safer, stronger, fairer Gippsland, where everyone can get ahead,” Mr Chester said. “I have a proven record of fighting for our region to deliver the services and infrastructure we need.

“By working with the community, I’ve been able to deliver record funding for large and small projects, major improvements to local services, bushfire recovery grants and given our region a strong voice on local and national issues. “My plan is to keep working, to make our community the best place in regional Australia to live, work, visit and raise a family. “I love Gippsland and I’m proud to have raised my family in our beautiful part of the world. “We need to keep putting locals first, supporting one another, and building an even better Gippsland.” As it stands, Mr Chester has three rivals during this election battle. Traralgon resident Jannette Langley was pre-selected by Labor in December last year and knows she faces a task to build on a primary vote of 23.2 per cent attracted by Antoinette Holm at the 2019 election. “This seat is a bit daunting as Darren Chester has held it for so long, but people in Gippsland are telling me they want a new ear to tell things to and a new voice from a united party,” Ms Langley said when she was announced as Labor’s contender in late 2021. Marjorie Thorpe will fly the flag for the Greens, which polled 6.04 per cent at the 2019 election. “In Gippsland we need better access to better services like healthcare and education, and need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis,” Ms Thorpe said. Rosedale’s Gregory Forster is the candidate for the United Australia Party, which polled 4.40 per cent at the 2019 election, but is backed by billionaire Clive Palmer. “It is time for representation in parliament by one of the people, for the people,” Mr Forster said.

LED streetlighting is being installed across the Wellington Shire. local road and community infrastructure projects across Australia, supporting jobs and the resilience of local economies to help communities bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the project would save approximately $9.4 million in energy and capital costs across Wellington, East Gippsland and South Gippsland Shire Councils over the assets’ lifetime.

THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) advises that a toxic bluegreen algae bloom is currently affecting parts of the Gippsland Lakes. People are urged to avoid any contact with water from Lake King and Lake Victoria, including the popular lakeside areas around Paynesville, Eagle Point, Newlands Arm, Wattle Point and Metung. Direct contact with toxic blue-green algae can cause allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itchiness, sore eyes, ears and nose or, if swallowed, gastroenteritis, nausea or vomiting. The type of algae currently affecting the Gippsland Lakes, Nodularia spumigena, produces nodularin toxin that can concentrate in shellfish and crustaceans and accumulate in the liver and internal organs of fish. Ingesting these toxins by drinking affected water or consuming affected seafood can lead to serious illness The Department of Health advised the community to not eat shellfish such as mussels, crabs or prawns from anywhere in the Gippsland Lakes, and to remove the guts and gills and thoroughly wash fish immediately after catching. Warnings on the recreational use of Lake Wellington have been lifted, with algae counts falling to a level where contact with water is once again safe. The same seafood warnings for the rest of the Lakes remain in place for Lake Wellington. Incident Controller Gail Penfold said people should be cautious when coming into contact with water from the Gippsland Lakes. “Even if you can’t see algae in the water it can still be present, so we encourage people to be cautious

Community Blue-green algae warning for session is parts of the Gippsland Lakes on tonight VICGRID will host a community information sessions tonight at the Giffard West Hall from 7.30pm-8.30pm to provide an update on the development of Victorian Renewable Energy Zones (REZs). These are areas rich in renewable resources, such as wind, solar, which are well-placed to generate renewable energy to power Victorian homes and businesses as we transition from coal-fired power. At this information session, you will have an opportunity to:  Hear an overview of the state government’s approach to developing REZs  Hear an update on the work VicGrid has undertaken to date and its upcoming work agenda  Ask questions about VicGrid’s work agenda and the development of REZs more broadly The state government released a Renewable Energy Zones Development Plan Directions Paper (RDP) in February 2021 to seek community and industry input on the future direction of development of REZs. A large number of responses were received from the Giffard and Woodside communities.

and take note of the signage in place at boat ramps, jetties and fishing spots,” Ms Penfold said. “We look forward to welcoming visitors to the Gippsland Lakes during the school holiday period and want to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable stay.” “We have increased testing across the lakes system so we can keep people up-to-date with any changes to the situation.” If you do come into contact with contaminated water, wash immediately in fresh water and seek medical advice if experiencing illness. Dogs should not come into contact with the water in affected locations. This type of algae can cause severe illness in dogs and may result in death from the toxins. If your dog has come into contact with the algae affected water, please contact your vet for advice. Water from the affected areas should not be used for drinking, cooking or other domestic uses. Boiling the affected water will not make it safe for use. Blue Green Algae are a common seasonal occurrence, the Gippsland Lakes contain many different types of algae at varying levels as part of the natural environment. Algae are a naturally occurring organism present in all waterways. Some algae, like this bloom, produce harmful toxins that are toxic to humans and pets. Information about blue-green algae is available on the DELWP website and from the DELWP Customer Service Centre on 136 186. Health information on toxic algae can be found at https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ healthyliving/Harmful-algal-blooms

WELLINGTON Shire Council will undertake a bulk replacement of more than 1400 streetlights from May 1, as part of a Gippsland-wide project to improve energy use and safety. The upgrade will involve the replacement of existing streetlights with new high performance and energy efficient LED lighting. By the end of the project, all streetlights in Wellington Shire will be LED. The new lights will reduce council’s energy usage by 488,300 kWh per year, saving around 470 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year, as well as resulting in significant cost savings. The bulk replacement will also help council improve compliance with Australian Standards in safety and light levels. Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye said around 70 per cent of streetlights had already been replaced with LED lighting in 2017. “This project will allow us to complete the remaining lights, including on major roads, with lighting that lasts longer and performs better,” Cr Bye said. “In our 2021-25 Council Plan, Climate Change was identified as our number one priority so “changing our streetlighting to a more energy efficient alternative is a no-brainer for council. “Apart from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, changing streetlights to LED is also one of the biggest ongoing cost saving measures council can undertake.” The streetlight upgrade project was made possible through $1,250,000 in funding from the federal government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. This program supports councils to deliver priority

Bully Zero work to prevent and reduce bullying through evidence-based education, advocacy, and support for all communities across Australia. The Top Model Australia Model Search competition travels Australia to find fresh faces in modelling, and on Sunday, July 10, the overall winner will finally be announced at the biggest event of the Top Model season. Q Events Melbourne will host the exciting runway event, featuring contestants from all over Australia aspiring to launch their careers as an international model.

STACEY Richardson is a Woodside Beach local and one of the talented contestants selected to compete in the Top Model Australia 2022 National Final at Q Events Melbourne. “I started my modelling journey at the end of 2021 and have been given this opportunity now to walk in both the Victorian and National Finals for Top Model Australia which has been a huge privilege,” Ms Richardson said. Ms Richardson is currently studying her second year in a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychological Science with Deakin University and has also dedicated the last six years to the Art of Rhee Taekwondo where she has received her First Dan Black Belt. Ms Richardson has also graduated from the Tanya Powell Modelling Agency based in Melbourne, where she undertook a 12-week modelling course. This course led her to pursue a career in modelling. Ms Richardson was then selected to be a finalist in the Victorian Top Model Australia Finals which were held in March this year at the Albion Rooftop in South Melbourne, where she was selected as one of eight other Victorian finalists to compete in The Top Model Australia Runway event at Q Events Melbourne. Ms Richardson told the Gippsland Times her brother Josh had done the modelling course first to help boost his confidence, and she followed suit. “I also thought it would be really good to help my confidence, and learn about modelling, and it’s been really fun,” Ms Richardson said. “Josh and I got to practice together and walk down the catwalk together. “It’s quite a long drive from Woodside Beach to Melbourne, but it’s been worth it.” Ms Richardson said as part of the dress code for the finals, the contestants are judged on two

Fixing of pothole is a win for motorists Stefan Bradley A LARGE pothole on the Princes Highway near Stratford has been repaired after causing problems for motorists. The pothole, located six kilometres east of Stratford, appeared on Sunday, April 3 and was repaired the same day. In a statement to the Gippsland Times, the Department of Transport said that the pothole was reported at 3pm on the Sunday, with their crews repairing the hazard by 4.30pm. Regional Director (Gippsland) of the Department of Transport (DoT), Beth Liley thanked the community for their patience in the matter. “Our crews are out every day, carrying out regular inspections of our roads to identify and repair hazards if and when they occur," Ms Liley said. “We’re delivering 265 individual road maintenance projects across the region, thanks to an investment of more than $37 million in Gippsland’s roads.” Members of the community reported that

multiple vehicles had been damaged by the pothole, with some requiring roadside assistance. Potholes can occur when water gets onto the pavement structure, weakening the material which is then further damaged by traffic. Record levels of rainfall across Gippsland in the past six months – 200mm falling in some areas last week alone – have increased the number of potholes which occur on the network. DoT's annual surfacing program aims to strengthen surfaces and prevent the likelihood of potholes. DoT said that between September 2021 to February 1 this year, more than 100 individual road maintenance projects had been completed across Gippsland, with almost 100 kilometres of repairs and rebuilding works now complete. A further 165 projects across 120 kilometres of roads will be delivered between now and June this year. If members of the community encounter any hazards on the roads, including potholes, the DoT encourages them to call the dedicated Regional Roads Victoria hotline on 133 778.

The work was completed by Department of Transport maintenance crews following a recent complaint.

The Great Dunny Hunt is on! Tom Parry

GIPPSLANDERS are being called upon to participate in this year’s Great Dunny Hunt. The nationwide initiative is seeking volunteers to locate and record public toilets as part of the federal government’s National Public Toilet Map. Sean Burford, who last year was crowned Australia’s Greatest Dunny Hunter for adding 129 new entries to the national register, is among those promoting the initiative. “The really rewarding aspect of the Great Dunny Hunt was discovering new locations in rural Australia,” Mr Burford said. “Lockdown and cautiousness about travelling made the Hunt more attractive, since it was a chance to look around Australia virtually.” Mr Burford believes that council websites and Google Maps are a great place to start for prospective dunny hunters. “At the end of the day you can't beat ‘feet on the ground’ to verify all of the details about a dunny, but if you use multiple online resources and reviews you can build a decent idea around exact location, access ramps, key access and hours of operation,” he said. “This year the Dunny Hunt is also looking for updates, so you may be rewarded for visiting and updating the details for your local public toilets.” Now in its second year, the Great Dunny Hunt is spearheaded by the Continence Foundation of Australia, a group representing the five million Australians who experience bladder and bowelcontrol problems. The Foundation’s chief executive officer Rowan Cockerell is also urging people to take part. “We want to support the many people living with incontinence to have access to the services and care they need and be able to move around freely in their community,” Ms Cockerell said. “We all know what it’s like to be caught short trying to find a toilet, so we should all get involved in something that benefits everyone and have some fun in the process!” The Great Dunny Hunt will be running until June 20. Those who register to participate will go into the draw to win one of three $500 Eftpos vouchers. More information can be found by visiting www.continence.org.au/great-dunny-hunt or toiletmap.gov.au.

The Fortress of Fife takes shape Tom Parry

Artist Paul Gennings with his outdoor studio in Stratford. “So I’ll be welding and using metal and cutting metal, and then I’ll go back to the clay. “And there’s the therapy of using something soft and pliable instead of something like a hammer and weld.” Better still, the experience hasn’t impacted the love of his craft, and he is thrilled to have been given the opportunity. “It’s just good fun to be able to do a project of this size and impact,” Mr Gennings said. “It’s really nice that both the Shakespeare Festival and the Wellington Shire have had the faith in me to make it happen.” The lighting of The Fortress of Fife will be the opening event of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, taking place from 5pm on Saturday, April 23 – the anniversary of the wordsmith’s birth. Anybody wanting more information about the Festival can visit to official website at www. stratfordshakespeare.com.au.

THERE’S a curious attraction that has caught the interest of Stratfordians recently. Across the road from the local railway station, surrounded by temporary fencing sits a blue gazebo, housing a large clay structure. The said structure has been crafted in preparation for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, all by the hand of local artist Paul Gennings. Mr Gennings has spent the past fortnight shaping the clay sculpture, and is not surprised by the attention it is causing. “I’ve had a lot of people stopping and asking about it,” he told the Gippsland Times. Fittingly, his sculpture is named The Fortress of Fife – a reference to The Bard’s celebrated play Macbeth – with nearly a tonne of clay having been utilised to create it. But Mr Gennings’ art is not finished yet. The tower will spend the next few days drying, before being set alight in what’s called a petal kiln, which will harden the clay and turn the structure into ceramic stone. According to Mr Gennings, this process is inspired by Danish artist Nina Hole. “Unfortunately she’s passed away now, but she was the first one to come up with this concept,” Mr Gennings said. “I saw a YouTube (video) of one of her firings and I just thought it was amazing.” Yet this not the first time that Mr Gennings has attempted such a feat, being more than familiar with large-scale ceramics. “I spent three months in Hungary, at the International Ceramics Studios, and I was really lucky that I got to be involved in firing a kiln that was very similar to this,” he said. “Thankfully I had that opportunity, because it gave me the insight into how this (petal) kiln works and the process in firing it.” Moulding the clay sculpture has been an arduous process for Mr Gennings, having worked nine hours per day and contended with both heat and wind. It’s enough to make anybody sick of the artform, but thankfully, Mr Gennings’ ability to work with multiple materials ensures that he never grows tired of working with ceramics. “I find that changing materials is the most therapeutic thing for me,” he said.

THE residents at the Ashleigh House in Sale last month enjoyed a cruise ship-themed week of celebrations and activities. Activities included games, on-board entertainment, dancing, a stopover in Darwin and cultural experience. The final day was Gala Day. The grand Gala Day saw many residents taking the opportunity to dress up in their finest clothes and have some glamour photos taken and the Cabaret Show and fine dining. All staff got involved with events, from creating the props, curating the fine dining menu, to assisting the residents to get their glam on and also dressing up and participating themselves. “It was such an enjoyable and special week for our residents. They eagerly awaited the day’s activities with their passports,” lifestyle co-ordinator Donna Quine said. “The residents were absolutely delighted with the ship and we look forward to our cruise destinations to come. “A huge thank you to Rhonda, who was our hairdresser for assisting with the Gala Day, and to Mel and Bree from Sale Greyhounds for their event photography. Also to Bunnings and other local businesses for their kind donations and support.”

Olivia shares sleep secrets

Seeking new youth mentors for region A LOCAL youth support program is seeking new mentors for 2022. The “Your Past, Their Future” youth mentoring program is hoping to pair adults with school students to boost their engagement and confidence. Program coordinator Melesa Eldred said that there is a huge need for mentors to work with young people. “COVID has seen young people become detached from their education and their school community, Ms Eldred said. “But I think COVID has also seen adults also feeling disconnected. “This program is a great opportunity for adults and youth to feel connected to someone and something again. “COVID saw volunteer rates drop across the country, whilst need and demand increased. Hopefully 2022 will be the time to close that gap.” Sale resident Angela Jones is currently involved with the program, spending an hour each week with her mentee, Jessie. “When I was approached to join the Mentoring

Program I thought, ‘What a great idea, I can pass on my wisdom and experience to a young person and at the same time learn a bit about them’,” Ms Jones said. “I am in my fifth year of mentoring and now I realise just how much my mentee does for me. “She keeps me young and up with the ideas and terminology that is around the young people of today. “Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur but at the same time I am able to impart some of my wisdom and life experience onto her. “I truly have a new young friend.” The program has also drawn positive responses from mentees such as Sharon. “The mentoring program has been the best thing to happen to me in high school,” Sharon said. “(My mentor) makes me feel good about myself and I’ve changed so much since meeting her. “Everyone says I come back from my catch-ups so much happier.” Another mentee involved with the program, Shane said that he enjoyed the fact that he had someone to talk to.

TODAY we're announcing a regular column featuring Australia's leading sleep expert, Olivia Arezzolo! To kick things off, Ms Arezzolo, who grew up in Sale, is sharing her number one tip for you to sleep well. The number one thing you must do to sleep well is to block out blue light in the evening - light is our primary zeitgeber (factor controlling the circadian rhythm, and therefore, melatonin levels), so if there is one thing you can do to support your ability to fall asleep faster, sleep deeper and wake more refreshed, it's to block out blue light 2-3 hours before bed, depending on your chronotype. For this, I recommend 100 blue light blocking glasses. Olivia Arezzolo recently released her new book Bear, Lion or Wolf: How Understanding Your Sleep Type Could Change Your Life, which aims to help readers understand their sleep type, or chronotype.

Gippsland Grammar prepares to host Ash Barty’s mindset coach

THE man retiring Australian Open tennis champion Ash Barty credits with helping her become the world’s number one tennis player will visit Gippsland Grammar on May 5 for a one-off public event. Ben Crowe from Mojo Crowe has worked with some of the world’s most famous sports stars such as Andre Agassi, Cathy Freeman and 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott, but he became a household name in January when Ms Barty won the Australian Open and credited the elite mindset coach for helping her achieve her dream. Now Gippslanders can hear Mr Crowe’s strategies for success when he presents his renowned ‘Perspective Talk’ at Gippsland Grammar’s Bairnsdale Campus on Thursday, May 5 at 6.30pm. The event is a huge coup for the region and has come to fruition because of Crowe’s generosity and desire to help a region that has suffered over the past few years with drought, bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic. Gippsland Grammar’s head of Bairnsdale Campus Virginia Evans admitted they had some inside help to secure a place in Mr Crowe’s busy speaking schedule. “One of our teachers Libby Crowe is Ben’s sisterin-law,” Mrs Evans admits. “Libby is also the teacher who introduced her golden retriever puppy Wilson to our Bairnsdale community who has become our campus therapy dog and Ben agreed to visit the campus more than two years ago to help raise money for Wilson’s upkeep and training. “Then the region got hit by bushfires and then of course the pandemic so our plans have been delayed and delayed but with everything our region has gone through Ben suggested we turn his visit into a bigger event to not only help our school community but the wider East Gippsland community as well.” As a leadership mentor Crowe works closely with business leaders, governments, teenagers and teams and athletes across the globe to show how a deep focus on authenticity, vulnerability and connection can create not only an amazing

Sonic’s enjoyable return Stefan Bradley and Tom Parry

Paramount Pictures

aramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has hit cinemas. Our resident film buffs Tom Parry and Stefan Bradley went to check it out. TP: So Stefan, as a big fan of this franchise, what did you think of Sonic the Hedgehog 2? SB: The original Sonic the Hedgehog titles were one of the first video games I ever played back in the 90s. The franchise is massive with comics, TV shows, merchandise and countless video games. As a fan, I thought the cast and crew did a good job on this movie. I am surprised that a family movie like this goes for two hours. The movie starts off a bit slow and some of the scenes with the human characters in the middle went on a bit too long; however, I thought the third act and the associated action scenes were perfect. TP: I have to echo those sentiments, I think that the third act was absolutely amazing - you can’t top that finale. The first and second acts did drag a little bit, there was a lot of filler; but once the ending arrived, I was on-board all the way. Overall, it means the sequel is just as enjoyable as the first movie. SB: I agree, but I might prefer the sequel because it felt more like a Sonic movie. If you like that first movie, which is currently on Netflix, I think you'll like this one - they’re both great films to watch with the family. All of the action scenes, not just the final one, were executed well and didn’t feel derivative of the Marvel movies which have become samey to me. TP: For sure. What do you make of the special effects? I know that bringing Sonic to life is a feat in and of itself, but there are certain scenes that I felt the VFX team were cutting corners. SB: Honestly, I didn't notice, I was just having too much of a good time! I thought the special effects on the action sequences were fine - they’re not like Iron Man or similar movies. Maybe it's easier for me to suspend my disbelief because you’ve got all these weird alien creatures from other universes. What did you think about the introductions to Tails and Knuckles? TP: I liked them both. For Tails, they’ve employed

the same voice-actor as they do for the games, which is an unusual decision for this kind of movie, but I appreciated it. Idris Elba was a very interesting choice to cast as Knuckles, which I had reservations about; but having seen the movie, I now think his voice suits the character perfectly. SB: The more recent Sonic games and the Sonic Boom TV show have turned Knuckles into a bit of a bumbling idiot, so to see him as a threatening antagonist in this was a breath of fresh air. This may be my favourite version of Knuckles ever. TP: He still gets laughs here and there with his heightened nobility and his ignorance of world culture, which I enjoyed. He’s a bit of a goof, but he's not like a comic relief character. SB: Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik/Eggman is that comic relief character, and the villain of course. He was a standout in the first movie, and his presence is once again welcome and hilarious. The movie is surprisingly funny, and as a fan I enjoyed more references from the Sonic games. Despite a middling middle, I thought this movie was quite good and would recommend it. TP: I think kids will definitely like it, as will Sonic fans; and there's one or two scenes which I think older, non-Sonic fans can enjoy too. It’s definitely one to see these school holidays. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is rated PG for mild crude humour, action violence and coarse language. The film is now showing at Sale Cinemas.

In Praise of Landscape JOHN BORRACK: IN PRAISE OF LANDSCAPE Now showing at Gippsland Art Gallery until May 29, 2022 | Free Entry in the early 1960s afterr becoming acquainted with the work of JMW Turner, and discovering the full atm mospheric potential of watercolour. As Borrack’s style has matured over the years, his faculty with the paint medium and his ability to express th he unique, mesmeric quality of the Australia an landscape has grr grown.

news@gippslandtimes.com.au

As one of the first artists to be acquired for the Gippsland collection, having caught the attention of Sale’s Mayor and later Patron of the Gallery, John Leslie OBE, Borrack holds a significant place in the story of Australian art and as one of the most accomplished artists to have worked in this region. Presented in the artist’s 89th year, In Praise of Landscape is a celebration of John Borrack’s contribution to the Australian landscape tradition. Spanning the gamut of his breathtaking subjects, from red earth deserts and ravines to the lush textures of Gippsland, always imbued with his characteristic sense of light, the exhibition reveals the vast scope of Borrack’s vision and his reverence for an art that has held him—and his audiences—in spellbound wonder for decades.

GP1640766

AN exhibition for lovers of landscape, John Borrack’s new exhibition In Praise of Landscape will take visitors on a tour to all parts of Australia from the comfort of the Gippsland Art Gallery. In Praise of Landscape spans 60 years off paiintting from one off Austtrallia’’s mostt admired and respected artists, who is accomplished in oils, watercolours and drawing. John Borrack emerged as an artist in the late 1950s, at a time when Australian landscape painting was arriving at a new set of forms and modes of expression, shaped by the earlier breakthroughs of William (Jock) Frater and Arnold Arr Shore in the 1930s – both of whom Borrack would later paint alongside. Borrack’s dynamic new approach crystalised

Spanish flair on the big screen THE Sale Film Society’s monthly screening is happening this week, with April’s film being Pain and Glory. Directed by the celebrated Spanish film-maker Pedro Almodovar, the picture follows an artist in his twilight years as he recounts the memories of his youth and figures from his past. Sale Film Society secretary Gerard Callinan describes Almodovar as one of the most prolific and interesting directors in Europe. "This is a recent and much applauded work by a European master that explores some well-known themes of ageing, relevance, family relationships and regret,” Mr Callinan said. “Added to those ingredients are humour and performances from Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.” Banderas plays the central character of Salvador Mallo, who is purported to be based on Almodovar himself.

Meanwhile, Cruz assumes the role of Jacinta, the mother of Salvador in flashback sequences. Pain and Glory was universally praised during its initial release in 2019, earning nominations for Best Actor and Best International Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards, but is not without its detractors. Mr Callinan believes that the picture is a polarising choice for the Society. “Will everyone love the film? Probably not,” he says. “Will everyone find something memorable within it? Yes.” “So we hope SFS members and newcomers come along and enjoy the experience." Pain and Glory will be screening this Wednesday, April 13 from 7.30pm at The Wedge.

$15.4 million committed to country’s agricultural shows AGRICULTURAL shows will benefit from $15.4 million from the federal government for a second round of the Agricultural Shows Development Grant Program. Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the funding would support the growth and long-term sustainability of this important industry. “Show societies will be able to use these funds to upgrade or repair showground infrastructure,” Mr Littleproud said. “These grants will provide regional communities with the opportunity to make showground facilities safe, attractive and accessible for showground users and the six million annual visitors.

“Agricultural shows are important as they are a driver for innovation and education, they showcase Australia’s food and fibre, and support local economies. “They generate $1 billion for regional Australia in economic benefits, they’re supported by around 50,000 volunteers, and most importantly, they play an important role in the social and economic fabric of regional Australia. “The last couple of years have seen unprecedented disruptions to agricultural shows, and this is our way of helping out.” The Agricultural Show Development Grants program will open for applications later this year.

Gippsland farmers are being encouraged to jump into the Australian carbon market to reap the benefits of increasing productivity as well as gaining a potential supplementary income stream.

Carbon market does present opportunity Michelle Slater

GP1637050

GIPPSLAND farmers are being encouraged to jump into the Australian carbon market to reap the benefits of increasing productivity as well as gaining a potential supplementary income stream. A panel of experts were discussing carbon markets at Farm World last month, including Commonwealth Bank representatives and soil carbon specialists. CBA agriculture general manager Carmel Onions said improving soil carbon on farms could enhance a property's natural capital while diversifying income. Landholders are paid in a Commonwealth program run under the Clean Energy Regulator to store carbon in their soil and receive carbon credits which can be traded. But the forum was being held as sections of the industry were calling for an inquiry into the scheme after it was found that credits were being paid for fraudulent projects, particularly in arid areas. “You need to have your eyes wide open to understand the complexity. It involves legal obligations and contracts to commit to the regulators that administer the project,” Ms Onions said. “It is a high integrity scheme well regarded internationally that requires checks and balances,

that means monitoring and abiding by the rules.” Ms Onions said there were project developers who charged fees to help people navigate the regulatory processes, register and measure projects. She said there had been a lot of interest in Gippsland, with many producers curious on how the scheme worked and how it could benefit them. “It's different in different parts of the country, in Gippsland because of rainfall you can generate enough carbon in the soil to make it worthwhile on smaller farms,” she said. “We heard one panellist say a soil carbon project was being carried out on a 100 hectares in Gippsland.” Ms Onions said income depended on the amount of carbon credits generated – with one credit at one tonne of carbon sequestered - and on the market price at the time. She said the market was driven by supply and demand, and supply could be slow to come on while projects were being signed up and rolled out. “Supply doesn't come on quickly, but with countries and companies signing onto net zero, demand is increasing,” she said. “There was an old school of thought with international farming that focused on yield maximisation, but now we are focusing on profit maximisation.”

Growth for Australian protein by 2030. CSIRO developed the roadmap drawing on its deep and broad connections in the sector to drive a conversation about how to grow this protein opportunity for national benefit, underpinned by the right infrastructure and technology.

The roadmap was developed in consultation with key stakeholders in government, industry and the research sector across Australia’s agriculture, food and innovation system. Access the full report: www.csiro.au/ protein-roadmap

Australia’s current protein landscape.

GP1636646

A NEW roadmap by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, shows how Australia can serve up a wider range of high-quality protein products to feed the world’s growing population and help capture a $13 billion market opportunity for all types of protein. Released last month, the report ‘Protein: A roadmap for unlocking technology-led growth opportunities for Australia’ outlines how Australia could create up to 10,000 jobs and become a global leader. With an expected two billion extra people on the planet to feed by 2050, coupled with changing tastes and dietary preferences, the world is going to need to produce more protein, more sustainably and from more sources. Growth opportunities include new plant-based products, turning lesser cuts of red meat into value-added protein powders and nutraceuticals, developing higher-protein and better tasting legume crops, creating a new sustainable industry in Australian white-flesh fish, and exploring nontraditional forms of protein like cultivated meat and edible insects. CSIRO chief executive officer Dr Larry Marshall said Australia’s strong history and global reputation in agriculture and food present a big opportunity for future growth. “As protein demand grows and new consumer trends emerge, solutions from science can help create new markets and complement our existing, globally competitive traditional markets. This will help shift Australia’s reputation from being the world’s food bowl of commodities to becoming a global delicatessen of unique higher value exports,” Dr Marshall said. “CSIRO’s Future Protein Mission recognises the scale of this challenge and brings together a wide network of partners with the latest innovative technology to seize this opportunity for a resilient and sustainable food system. “We can supercharge growth in our traditional protein industries by harnessing technologies like digital traceability and integrity systems that enhance the premium status of Australian red meat, and grow new complementary protein markets through techniques like precision fermentation to generate a suite of new Australian products.” The roadmap highlights how protein demand can only be met by bringing together animal, plant and non-traditional protein production systems. Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre FIAL’s managing director Dr Mirjana Prica said the global demand for protein represents a significant export opportunity for all of Australia’s protein players. “Consumer demand is increasing for all protein sources. Australia has a real opportunity to have a thriving local food manufacturing sector, while becoming a leading exporter in value added traditional, plant, and novel protein products,” Dr Prica said. “Building domestic capacity and infrastructure to not only tap, but to build scale, for the plethora of protein opportunities is critical if we are to switch from importing ingredients to producing our own domestically.”

BEFORE a big Saturday night crowd Falcons had to claw back from three goals down to force a draw with over the road rivals Fortuna. The Lions took control of the game early and dominated where it was required, on the scorecard picking up vital goals to leave Falcons in their wake. At three goals down, Falcons were looking down the barrel and the ItalianAustralian Cup sliding towards Fortuna’s clutches. In fighting spirit, Falcons contested hard and eventually found their mojo to get back at Fortuna with a three goal burst that took many by surprise. At 3-3 the game was hotting up, but the ref’s whistle blew, resulting in the first draw between the crosstown rivals since 2015. It was a big night for Falcons star Nick D’Alessandro who played his 200th game for Falcons in a career stretching back to 2006. He then played away before returning in 2010 when he won the first of his four best and fairest awards. The much decorated player turned coach and transformed the club into a

powerhouse outfit winning 12 trophies in his role as leader.

PEGASUS v MONASH PEGASUS had to fight hard to stave off a persistent Monash side. The Horsemen looked the goods in the first half, but it was Monash who started like a train with two corners in the first two minutes keeping Santo Simon under pressure. The Monash bench rose as one when Ryan Harvey beat the keeper but their groans were audible as offside was flagged. Pegasus with skilful use of the ball were able to wrong foot Monash and at 11 minutes in struck the first blow when Kuku Mahmoud beat Logan Troughton with a superb drive. Monash were missing three of their major players but still matched up with Pegasus. Calab Semple and Ryan Davis were getting useful possessions. A one-two by Kuku Mahmoud to Nelson Tombra saw the Horsemen go up by two goals at the 20 minute mark of the term. Three Pegasus defenders unsure who to take a kick were upstaged by a sneaky Broden Grover, who tapped the ball into an empty goal to give the Wolves some joy. Pegasus leading 2-1 at the break went into the the second half with plenty of confidence, but Monash refused to surrender. Keeper Logan Troughton was put under pressure as Pegasus continued to put pressure on the Monash defence, but the Wolves pressed on. Monash had some good chances with two shots hitting the upright. Adam Semple had a near miss but Santo Simon was able to clear the deck. After a scramble of legs a Pegasus player was stretchered from the pitch which held up play for a few minutes. Monash were reduced to ten men when

Chris Noppert was red carded after grabbing his second yellow card. Despite the Wolves' best efforts, Pegasus emerged with the three points and the 2-1 win.

EAST GIPPSLAND v NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN

NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN were rewarded after their big trip to Bairnsdale with a 5-2 hard fought win over the locals. It wasn’t an easy game for Newborough/ Yallourn as East Gippsland worked hard throughout. Alex Van Vliet was on form scoring a hat-trick in a dominant display up front. Tristan Donohue also had a big impact for Newborough/Yallourn, scoring a brace in their important win.

CHURCHILL v MOE MOE could be well pleased with their 3-0 over the Rams fielding a team with some big names missing. Churchill were also missing some of their best, but still made a contest making it hard for Moe. Moe set up attacks from the middle of the park with Connor O’Hanlon in sparkling form. His teamwork with Matt Shearing saw Moe post their first goal at 10 minutes. It was to and fro as neither team could gain a clear advantage, but youngster Campbell Young provided the spark with a superb cross for Shearing's second just before half-time. Churchill had their chances in the second stanza, but wayward passing and good keeping kept the Rams scoreless. Moe’s captain Nick Fogarty ensured that the Red Devils would make it even harder for Churchill with a 25-metre goal to round out a top night.

LONGFORD Trailer Hire came from behind defeat the Pink Panthers 9-5 in last week's Sale Touch action. At half-time the Panthers led 5-4, however, in the second-half Longford added five tries to just one. The opening minutes of the game was a battle between the defences as it took 16 minutes for the first score to be made and this was by Kyle Grummisch. Once the first try was made the tries were forthcoming as the Panthers made five and Longford added an additional three. The try of the game was made in the first half when sixteen-year-old Mia Van de Vyver ran fifty

Footy talents at V/Line Cup

AROUND 600 of the best young footballers from across regional Victoria will finally get the chance to participate in the V/Line Cup, which was launched on Wednesday after being postponed last year because of the pandemic. The 72nd edition of the V/Line Cup takes place in Shepparton as a four-day carnival from April 11-14, with boys and girls who would’ve competed in the Under-15 age group in 2021 eligible to participate in the upcoming competition because of the postponement. The V/Line Cup comprises three divisions – two boys divisions and a girls division – and features representative teams from seven regions playing in a total of 21 matches. Each team will contest two matches over the four days. The event has a rich history dating back to 1949 when it was first won by Goulburn Valley. The 2022 edition will feature boys and girls teams from Barwon, Bendigo, Gippsland, Goulburn Murray, Greater Western Victoria, North East Border and South East. A girls division has been part of the program since 2010. The competition was cancelled in 2020 and postponed from 2021 because of COVID. V/Line has been premier partner of the event since 2004 and plays a critical role in ensuring the competition can continue and young footballers from across the state have the opportunity to compete against Victoria’s most talented junior footballers.

meters to put the ball down; this was her sixth try of the season. In the second half it was all Longford Trailer Hire as they added five tries; Riley Forde was the only Panther to score in the second-half. Longford scorers were Grummisch with four, Jackson Annear and Rhiannon Massey each made two with Isla McCarthy making one. Grummisch has scored in each game that he has played. Forde was the Panthers top scorer with three. Simon Driessen, Albert de Vyver and Mia van de Vyver each made one. Best players were Driessen, Grummisch, Benjamin King, Mia Van de Vyver and Massey. Porky’s defeated The Drop Kicks with seven tries to six to be the second team to defeat the competition leader.

The Drop Kicks' previous loss was when they took on a rejuvenated Longford team. At half-time Porky’s led 5-2, then in the second half the Drop Kicks bounced back making four tries to two and fortunately for Porky’s, the siren sounded giving them the narrow win. Porky’s Craig Roberts top scored with three tries. Leigh Mawley made two taking his season tally to 14. David Ropeti and Anthea Todd each made one. Leigh Taiapa top scored for The Drop Kicks with two tries. Tawh Ashby, Andrew Campbell, Niome Greg and TJ Sturmey each made one. Campbell has also scored in each game that he has played. Best players were Taiapa, David Ropeti, Henry Ropeti, Todd and Niome Greig.

Unfortunately, COVID struck down several Phoenix players resulting in them forfeiting to Mustangs. The Annual Sale Touch Knockout did not eventuate due to lack of entries; it is hoped that the 2023 event will be bigger and better than any of the previous 26 held in Sale. There are no games for the next two weeks as we go into recess during the school holidays. Touch will resume on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. The ladder now has Longford Trailer Hire on top for the first time with 28 points and 157.1 per cent followed by The Drop Kicks 26 & 190.5, Pink Panthers 17 & 96.6, Mustangs 17 & 80.3, Porky’s 17 & 80.0 and Phoenix 11 & 58.6. There are three teams on seventeen points only separated by the narrowest of percentage.

Gippsland United’s double delight Liam Durkin

GIPPSLAND United men made it back-to-back wins in Round 4 of Big V basketball. United defeated Altona 92-74 at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium on Saturday night. The win ensured the Gippsland team took a scalp in the competition, as Altona looks to be a team that could make up the top section of the ladder. An even first quarter saw United take a slender one-point lead at the first change. The home side got on top in the second, shooting 23 points to 14, before going again in the third, putting up 27 to 23. United built on its ascendency to eventually win by 18 points.

Billy Hughes led the scoring with 12, and received good support from Jordan Gooiker who netted 12. American import Brandon Armstrong had nine rebounds and three steals. Gippsland United now sits fifth on the ladder with three wins from four starts. THE women’s side also had a comfortable victory, defeating Mornington 88-54. Playing at home, United dominated from the outset, scoring 28 points in the first quarter alone. From there it was more of the same as Gippsland took a 48-27 lead into half-time. The team managed itself in the third, only scoring 10 points, but then slammed on 30 points to 17 in the last to win by 34 points.

Chloe Hogg had a field day, scoring 20 points and having 13 rebounds. Others to feature prominently on the scoring chart were Macey McGlead (17) and import Makenzie Miller (15). United women are third on the ladder with three wins from five games and a percentage of 133.40. GIPPSLAND United’s next match will be on Saturday, April 23 where the men will play Surf Coast at home. The women have a fair rest now, and will next play on Saturday, May 1 when they travel to Altona.

Hurricanes shine in summer season

Power-ful start to NAB League GIPPSLAND Power continued its unbeaten start to the NAB League season with a 15-point win against the Western Jets at Morwell Recreation Reserve. The Power made it two victories from as many appearances courtesy of the 14.18 (102) to 13.9 (87) success. Gippsland set the tone with a blistering first quarter, booting 8.5 to 2.1 for a 40-point lead at the opening change. The Jets cut the deficit to four points at the half-time break and the game was up for grabs at three-quarter time where the Power held a two-point advantage. Gippsland then booted four goals to two in the final quarter to seal the four points. Warragul’s Cooper Vickery was named best for the Power, with Tom Hamilton (Traralgon), Paddy Cross (Beaconsfield), Nate Pipicelli (Nar Nar Goon), Josh Hamilton (Traralgon) and Koby Grass (Pakenham) also playing fine games. Maffra’s Jonti Schuback, the son of former Adelaide Crow Jacob, booted a team-high three majors, with Foster’s Zavier Duursma, Hamilton and Sebastiano Amoroso (Drouin) each snagging two goals.

Tigers destroyed by rampaging Cougars Scott Berechree THE large bang heard around the Latrobe Valley on Saturday afternoon at approximately 4.30pm was nothing to concern yourself with. Unless you are a fan of the Gormandale Football-Netball Club of course as the noise was the sound of the Tigers crashing back to earth after their Round 1 drought-breaking win. While hopes of back-to-back wins were probably dashed when the Gormandale permit players from week one boarded their flights back to the Northern Territory, the 236-point demolition job done on them by Churchill was unexpected to say the least. Churchill was without a raft of first-choice players with the likes of Kurt Holt, Chris Williams, Ryan Lowrie, Joey Whykes, coach Jordan Fenech and late withdrawal Cain Iorangi all not taking the field. Come quarter time however the game was dead and buried with the visiting Cougars slamming home 11 goals to one. This theme was continued for the remainder of the game with Churchill kicking 11, eight and 11 goals across the next three quarters to amass a whopping 41.17 (263) to 4.3 (27). Chief among the goalkickers was Ben Kearns who helped himself to 11 before taking an early shower at three-quarter time. Corey Nicholls and midfielder Jake Roe Duggan took over where Kearns left off and helped themselves to a six pack each. Churchill coach Fenech was seemingly impressed with his side’s performance but stopped short of being too effusive. He was pleased how the boys adapted on the fly with some forced team changes. He was also happy to see an improvement on accuracy in front of goal.

Fenech noted this was a focus during the week after poor form in front of the sticks during practice matches and his side’s Round 1 victory. THE closest match of the round saw Woodside continue their winning start to the year as they consigned a gallant Rosedale to their second loss of the season in a 9.11 (65) to 7.7 (49) scoreline. Woodside restricted Rosedale to just the solitary major until the main break and but for inaccuracy in front of goal the Wildcats could have had the game parcelled up at half-time. Woodside coach Michael Duncan heaped praise on Jeremy Morgan for his efforts in defence and also acknowledged the efforts of fellow defenders Will Broadbent and Ben Johnson. Duncan also acknowledged the excellent return of Nick Stockdale who played his first game in Woodside colours in many a year. Stockdale helped himself to a pair of majors, but it was new recruit Zac Richards who led the goal kicking tally bagging four. Duncan suggested both sides would be happy to have next week off noting the tackling pressure was through the roof in trying conditions. Duncan concurred with the Rosedale match committee in naming Jason Garrett, Tom Northe and Brad McKay the players he thought where the opposition’s best. IF inaccuracy cost Woodside a chance to put their game to bed early it appears both sides in the Traralgon Tyers United/Glengarry match-up followed the Wildcats lead. Glengarry managed only seven majors from their 21 scoring shots while TTU fared only marginally better kicking truly 16 times from three dozen shots at goal. After an honourable loss last week to Yarram, it was crucial for TTU to get the

points this week and that is what they did with a comfortable 10-goal victory 16.20 (116) to 7.14 (56). While Brad Kelleher managed to help himself to seven snags it wasn’t enough for the power forward to be named among the Bombers best half a dozen players. IN the final match of the weekend, it was Sale City who took the points over a struggling Heyfield outfit. The tricolours six-goal win in their first hit out of the season will have many sides on notice with rumours of a Doggy demise in 2022 seemingly a long way off the mark. With seven players hitting the scoresheet, headed up by Sam Davidson who managed four, Sale City ran rampant after half-time kicking 11 goals to five to have the visitors singing their song loud and proud on the final siren after a 14.13 (97) to 9.8 (62) win. For Heyfield it was the evergreen James Beha and young gun Tyson Birss leading the way. With Liam Heasley unable to hit the scoreboard like he did so regularly last year it appears the Kangaroos are in desperate need of an avenue to goal if they are going to trouble the better sides in season 2022. ROUND 2 action concludes this Friday at Yarram where the Demons take on Yallourn Yallourn North in what has become the traditional Good Friday clash. For those unable to attend the match will be covered by Gippsland FM with the pre-game commencing at 4pm and live action from the first to final siren starting at 4.30pm. With Yarram believed to have up to eight changes to their Round 1 line-up and the Jets likely to recall superstar Dean MacDonald, who missed Round 1 with injury, and potentially roll out a few permit players, this promises to be one of the games of the year.

Eagles extend unbeaten start to new season Liam Durkin MAFFRA was too strong for Bairnsdale in Round 2 of Gippsland League football. The Redlegs took it up to the Eagles for a half, but fell away after the main break to lose by 53 points, 19.12 (126) to 10.13 (73). Playing at Maffra, Bairnsdale would have entertained thoughts of a win when it went into half-time with a 10-point lead, however, the Eagles then piled on eight goals to two in the third to take back the ascendency. A further six goals in the final quarter made sure of the result for Maffra, who again found goals from Daniel Bedggood who kicked five and Mitch Bennett who slotted four. The pair have started the season well in front of goal, in what has already seen some high individual returns across the league. Kade Renooy was damaging across half back, while the somewhat elusive name of former Port Adelaide forward John Butcher made an appearance in the goalkickers column with two. Others to play well for Maffra were Tom Thatcher, James Read, Danny Butcher and Hudson Holmes. Tyran Rees, Randall Stewart and Kieran Vickery were best for Bairnsdale. The win means new Eagles coach Anthony Robbins keeps his perfect record intact for at least another fortnight, as the competition now breaks for Easter. Maffra will travel to Moe when it returns, in what should be a good contest between two sides both with new coaches. The Eagles and Lions have won both their opening round matches, as has Leongatha, making those three teams the only unbeaten sides in the early part of the season. The Moe clash will lead in well to the 'Battle of the Birds' clash between Maffra and Sale the week after.

Gulls, Power play out draw A THRILLING draw was the result between Warragul and Wonthaggi in Round 2 of the Gippsland League. The old adage that ‘first team to 100 wins’ didn’t quite ring true as the game ended with scores tied up 106-all at Western Park. In what was a very high scoring game for a draw, the Power and Gulls could not be separated when the final siren sounded, with the scoreboard reading 16.10 (106) apiece. Wonthaggi looked to have the upper hand when it led by 20 points at three quarter time, and stretched that lead further at the start of the last. Warragul however refused to lie down, and hit back to level the scores deep into red time. The contest was left on a knife’s edge as a stoppage occurred inside Wonthaggi’s forward 50 with scores all tied up. From there, the ball bobbled around frantically among flaying arms as precious seconds ticked away before the siren rang out an almost deathly silence across the ground. Such was the mayhem that ensued, Power forward Ryan Sparkes thought he had kicked the winning point, only to go from ecstasy to agony in an instant. Former AFL player and Yarram product Jed Lamb kicked six goals for Warragul, while Sean Masterson, Cooper Alger and Chris Raso played well. Best for Wonthaggi was Aiden Lindsay, Mitch Hayes and Jack Hutchinson. CONDITIONS that would usually see the captain elect to bat first after winning the toss greeted players at Morwell Recreation Reserve for the match between Morwell and Moe. The Lions proved to have enough answers, winning 16.17 (113) to 5.12 (42). It was ‘suns out guns out’ in the first half, as the Tigers and Lions smashed into each other in a physical contest between the neighbouring rivals. Moe made use of the scoring end toward the Princes Highway in the first quarter, kicking 4.4 to one behind. Morwell had moments of promise in the second, but the Lions were able to respond to each challenge and continued to mount scoreboard pressure. Moe led by 70 points at the final change, and with the result beyond doubt, played the final quarter out as Morwell added a couple of consolation goals late in the piece. The Tigers found honest contributions from Cody Macdonald, Dan Musil, Riley Loprese, Brandon McDonald, Sam Walsh and James Jacobsen in his 100th game. New Moe recruit Matt Barrand kicked four goals to be named best, along with Brock Smith, Harry Pepper (six goals), Grady Cocksedge, Riley Baldi and Ben Daniher. Away from the match there was a couple of items that perhaps warrant some intervention from Latrobe City. While it was certainly beach weather on Saturday, this might have been taken a bit too literally as the oval was covered in just about as much sand as grass, leaving players with multiple grazes to go with singlet tans. TRARALGON powered to an emphatic victory over Drouin. The Maroons were never troubled away from home, and ended up winning 28.14 (182) to 9.7 (61). Volvo - BMW - Volkswagen - Mercedes Benz - Peugeot

Star Traralgon recruit Brett Eddy dominated, kicking 10 goals, while playing-coach Jake Best nabbed seven. The benefits of such a huge win saw the Maroons take their percentage from 88.1 to 195.00, which could well prove decisive when places in the finals are set in stone in the latter part of the season. Traralgon took full control of the contest after quarter time, adding 11 goals to one in the second quarter. Taking an 82-point lead into the sheds, the Maroons kept piling on the pain for the Hawks.

At three quarter time the margin was 101 points, and at full time it was 121. Best said he was happy his side was able to put in a solid performance. “It was good to get the first win out of the way, every game in the Gippsland League is a hard-fought win so it was pleasing that we could score quite heavily,” he said. “There was still elements of the game we need to tidy up but it was a good performance. “There is a huge hunger within the group this year, we saw that over the preseason with the way the guys worked, there is a real hunger

SWANS TOO STRONG Liam Durkin

STRATFORD was too strong for BoisdaleBriagolong in Round 2 of East Gippsland football. The Swans broke away after the main break to win 12.11 (83) to 5.9 (39) at home. Only nine points separated the teams at halftime, but Stratford found their running in the third quarter, kicking 2.7 (19) to 1.2 (8) to take a 20-point lead heading into the last. The Swans stretched their lead in the fourth quarter to eventually win by 44 points. Boisdale-Briagolong would have been disappointed with their fade-out, especially after leading by 23 points at quarter time, at which time they had registered nine scoring shots to one. Best players for the Bombers were Gus Leemon, Billy Marshall, Byron Sandeman, Andrew Quirk, Brenon Rathnow and Tyson Daly. The only cause for celebration at BoisdaleBriagolong was senior captain Shaun Bates playing his 100th game. For the winners, Ethan Albrecht, Alex Morcom and Rod O’Keefe all kicked multiples. Albrecht was among the best players, as was Mitch Hawkins, Regan Tait, Roydon Fulton, Kyle Grainger and Jack Bacon. The win gave Stratford its first for the season, while Boisdale-Briagolong is yet to get on the board in 2022. ELSEWHERE, Paynesville defeated Orbost Snowy Rovers. The Gulls won quite convincingly in the end, 17.17 (119) to 6.4 (40), although in the context of what took place leading into the match, the result needed to be put into perspective. COVID virtually wiped out the entire Orbost Snowy Rovers senior team, with the Blues starting midfield and even their coach unable to make the trip to Paynesville. Orbost Snowy Rovers reported as many as 20 players were unavailable, in what was called “one of the most challenging games we’ve ever had to get through”. Get through the Blues did however, in what was a tremendous show of defiance in the face of adversity. Truly, getting a team on the park could have been viewed as a win for Orbost Snowy Rovers.

Boisdale-Briagolong and Stratford footballers and netballers came together before the senior football match at the weekend to stand in solidarity for mental health awareness. Photo: Paul Nichols Best for the Blues was Gus Rogers, Cody Robertson and Jake Humphreys. Brad Walsh, Lewis Hoffman and Reegan Paterson were judged Paynesville’s best performers. WY Yung asserted its dominance with a 59-point win over Lucknow. The Tigers were not daunted by playing at the Magpies’ nest, leading at every change to win 15.18 (108) to 7.7 (49). Brodie Anderson kicked five goals and Brad

Daniel four for the victors. Mitchell Toms, Norman Betts and Alex Halabut were given the nod as Wy Yung’s best. Tom Southen, Dallas Smith and Steve Bertino battled hard in a losing cause. LINDENOW had too much firepower for Lakes Entrance. The Seagulls, on a high following their comprehensive win over Boisdale-Briagolong last week, may have received a reality check when they lost to the Cats 16.13 (109) to 5.6 (36).

Playing at home, Lakes Entrance was never really in the hunt after quarter-time. Lindenow slammed on six goals to no score in the second term to lead by 51 points at the main break. There was no coming back for the Seagulls, who went scoreless in again the final term. Josh Piper, Joel Campbell and Tom Duncan played well for Lakes Entrance. Patrick Alexander, Boris Bryant and Kevin Bongers stood out for Lindenow.

Eagles soar to impressive victory in Gippsland netball Liam Durkin

MAFFRA had too much class for Bairnsdale in Round 2 of Gippsland League netball, winning 54-26 at home. The Eagles were rarely headed by their opponents, in what served as a good platform game in which to build. Sale was no match for Leongatha, and copped a decent drubbing, losing 74-20 at home. The Magpies were well down in a number of key performance indicator areas, and will be looking to get back on the winners list after Easter. ELSEWHERE, Morwell maintained its strong start to the Gippsland League netball season with a win over Moe. The Tigers and Lions took all-star billing to the Morwell courts on what was a sweltering hot day that pushed most players. A number of key match-ups added to the intrigue of what took place, most notably Morwell goalkeeper and league best-and-fairest winner Courtney Garth up against opposite number in Lions shooter Taylin Gourley, as well as Moe goal attack and Vixens academy member Georgia Moody working under the ring as well. Another subplot on the day was Moe premiership player Shannon Freeman coming up against her old side for the first time. Somewhat ironically, the defender came up against Moe on the very court the Lions celebrated their greatest netball triumph in 2018. Freeman, a two-time Victorian representative, has joined the Tigers this season and the team looks, on paper at least, to have one of the strongest defences ever assembled with Garth, Freeman and Tanya Budge all in the mix. Morwell proved its credentials in the contest Page 36 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 12 April, 2022

against a highly-fancied Moe, eventually winning 50 to 43. The Tigers looked to be working in sync during the second half, and forced the Moe players to become hesitant on occasions. With a manageable buffer established midway through the third quarter, both teams wrestled ascendency, but it was Morwell able to control the match for longer periods. Tigers centre Chloe Radford celebrated her 50th A Grade match with a win, adding to the good feeling around the camp. Traralgon was defeated by Drouin 43 to 37 away from home. The Hawks confined the Maroons to their second loss from as many starts, after Traralgon went down to Leongatha last week. While it is only early days, Traralgon is facing a similar road to last season, where it took the side a good four or so weeks before it started stringing some wins together. Things do not get any easier for the Maroons, as they take on Morwell next round. The other match saw Wonthaggi hold on for a gutsy 31-26 win over Warragul on the road. GLENGARRY recorded a resounding win over Traralgon Tyers United in Round 2 of North Gippsland netball. The Magpies prevailed at home, winning 62-30. The result keeps Glengarry’s unbeaten start to the season intact, following their thrilling two-goal victory over Churchill last week. The Cougars got their first win of the season, courtesy of a 55-22 win over Gormandale. Making the trip to a place known as the ‘Boneyard’, Churchill was able to build on its dominance throughout the game, eventually taking the margin well out to over 30 goals.

Cassidy Vroegop was voted best-on-court for the Cougars. Woodside proved it may well be the real deal in 2022. The Wildcats took care of traditional powerhouse Rosedale with minimal fuss, winning 61-46 on the Blues home court. While it is only Round 2, a win of this magnitude will surely send an ominous warning to the rest of the competition. Sale City got on the court for the first time this season, and celebrated with a 44-30 win over Heyfield on the road. There was some positives though for the Kangaroos, as Millicent Riseley made her A Grade debut. Round 2 of the NGFNL will conclude on Good Friday, as Yarram and Yallourn Yallourn North clash at the former’s home court. Players now have the chance to recover and refresh for Round 3 which will take place on April 23. Sale City will host Rosedale in what looms as a tight contest. YYN and Glengarry will clash, while TTU and Gormandale go into their match-up each confident of walking away victorious. Cowwarr returns from the bye and will play Churchill and Woodside plays traditional rival Yarram coming off a seven-day break. IN East Gippsland netball, Boisdale-Briagolong took the honours over Stratford. The local rivals locked horns, with the Bombers coming out on top 44-36. Other winners in the EGFNL were Wy Yung, who defeated Lucknow 54-26, Orbost Snowy Rovers defeated Paynesville and Lakes Entrance defeated Lindenow 33-20.
