two homes,” he said. Mr Shingles, who was a student at Guthridge campus from 1997 to 1999, said a lot of the buildings were still the same as when he attended. “The students and the staff within the four walls of Sale College know what we do, and what we do really well — and that is provide an education for everyone, regardless of their position within the community — and to be able to do it on one site that is a welcoming place, it’s going to be a whole lot easier to build school pride.” “It definitely is an older school — it’ll be good to get an upgrade — I reckon it will help the community grow,” Guthridge campus captain Aiden Martin added. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said a master plan would help the school and Sale community work out where and how to rebuild the school. “The school has great difficulty delivering secondary education across two campuses, and there are options to consolidate onto the Guthridge Campus or a new greenfield site,” he said. “This funding will help us consult the community on the best option and also identify the facilities the school needs for the 21st century. “I’m passionate about ensuring our local kids get a good education from public schools and getting the bricks and mortar right is a big part of that. “This is the first step in the process to deliver quality, modern facilities for state secondary students in Sale and district.” Mr O’Brien thanked Wellington Shire Council, the Committee for Wellington and many community members for their support of the campaign. “College principal Brendan Staple has also been dogged in his determination to deliver a better school for his students and staff,” he added. Mr O’Brien said it was important the state government provided details on how the funding would be used.

THE state government has allocated $3 million in the state budget towards the consolidation of Sale College. Sale College has been seeking to consolidate its two campuses for some time. Last year, it stepped up its campaign for a single campus, earmarking a greenfield site near the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex. Eastern Victoria MLC Jane Garrett confirmed the funding for planning and early works during a visit to the school's Macalister campus last week. “We know we need to upgrade Sale College — and this is the first step in making that happen,” Ms Garrett said. Sale College has more than 800 students, with year seven to nine students currently attending the junior campus on Guthridge Parade, and Years 10 to 12 on the senior campus at the corner of York and Macalister Sts. The school is concerned it may struggle to cope with an increasing student population under current arrangements. On the ground, Sale College deputy principal Jake Shingles said there was a buzz around the school following the announcement. “From the staff perspective, there’s a level of excitement,” he said. “There’s probably been a few of us that have been here for nearly a decade who thought that it wouldn’t happen at all. “As far as the detail’s gone that it’s part of the master plan — there’s no promises beyond that just yet — it’s still something that a few of us are really excited about.” Mr Shingles said limitations currently posed by the two campuses included staff across both campuses needing to travel during recess and lunch to get to classes on time. “Although on face value they seem really simple, they can leave some teachers feeling as though they don’t have a home, when in fact they have

THE Health Department is urging Victorians to get their annual flu vaccination and help protect the most vulnerable in the community from the virus. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer, Professor Brett Sutton, has launched a campaign encouraging Victorians to get their flu shot ahead of winter and do their part to stop the spread of flu. “Coronavirus (COVID-19) has taught us the importance of masks, cough etiquette, staying at home when unwell and, of course, being vaccinated,” Prof Sutton said. “These same behaviours are also our best defence against the flu. “Victorians should get their annual flu shot as soon as they can to be protected for the peak flu season, which generally spans June to September.” More than two million free vaccinations are expected to be administered before the flu season takes hold. During a horror flu season in 2019 there were almost 70,000 Victorians diagnosed with influenza. In 2020, restrictions during the global COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the number of cases dropping to just 4795. So far in 2021, there have been more than 60 reported cases, compared to a net average of 4574 for same period between 2018 and 2020. However, with large crowds again able to gather and the movement of people largely unrestricted, authorities say people shouldn’t assume that the flu season will be the same in 2021 as it was in 2020. They say it is important not to be complacent, as there are more than 3300 avoidable deaths in Australia every year from complications arising from seasonal flu, including pneumonia. The flu shot is now available from general practitioners, as well as community immunisation sessions. Pharmacies are also able to provide the flu shot to those aged over 10. Victorians aged over 65, pregnant women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Victorians with chronic conditions are eligible for free flu vaccinations as part of the National Immunisation Program. All children aged from six months to under five are able to receive a free flu shot — about 385,000

children. Flu symptoms can include a sudden high fever, headache, body aches and feeling extremely weak or tired. For children, the elderly or people with weakened immune systems, the flu can have devastating consequences. The campaign is also reminding people that the current recommended timing between receiving the COVID-19 and flu vaccines is at least 14 days. “After more than a year of fighting the COVID19 virus, it is easy to forget the importance of protecting ourselves against the flu,” Professor Sutton said. “The flu doesn’t discriminate – anyone can get the flu. “The more people who are vaccinated, the greater the protection for everyone. “The flu is not like the common cold. “It hits you quickly and hard — and can be deadly. “The flu vaccination is safe, effective and it saves lives – so don’t forget your flu shot. “Everyone has a role to play in fighting the flu. “If you’re sick, stay home and practice good hygiene, just like we did for the COVID-19 pandemic.”

City Builders is again attracting attention
Wellington Shire shivered through brisk mornings at the weekend, before frost and fog gave way to clear skies and sunshine. East Sale dropped to -0.5 degrees Celsius at 7am yesterday, -0.5 on Sunday and -0.3 on Saturday, before reaching a balmy top of 16 later each day. Possible showers are expected over the next three days, with temperatures set to increase this week as cloud rolls in — luckily, as capturing this chilly scene of some Longford paddocks yesterday morning nearly caused the photographer’s fingers to snap freeze.

“We have a serious problem with housing affordability and availability in Gippsland and coming out of the pandemic this has been exacerbated as city people move to the country, pushing up property prices,” he said. “Adding taxes to property will only exacerbate the problems of housing affordability.” Mr O’Brien said the government was right to invest in the mental health system, but noted the $3.8 billion spend was only marginally more than the blowout in costs on the metro tunnel project. “If the government was able to manage projects and keep to within its budget we wouldn’t need a mental health levy that will cost jobs and turn away businesses,” he said. “Mental health is a core government function, and shouldn’t be stigmatised by being funded through a new levy. “We don’t raise funds for hospitals and schools through a levy, and neither should we for mental health, which is a critically important function of government.” Gippsland East MLA Tim Bull said the budget was disastrous for communities in regional Victoria, with nearly $285 million cut from regional development, $61.3 million from agriculture, $190 million from road maintenance and more than $150 million from tourism and major events. “One top of this we also see steep rises in payroll tax, stamp duty and a new tax on businesses already paying payroll tax to fund the mental health levy,” he said. “Victoria’s mental health system is broken and we must act to fix it, but mental health is a core function of government and should be treated as such — rather than as a tax.” Mr Bull was disappointed the Maffra Hospital redevelopment missed out on funding.

LABOR MPs have described the 2021-22 state budget as a “once-in-a-generation” budget, while Nationals MPs claim it’s disastrous for regional communities. The centrepiece is $3.8 billion in spending on Victoria’s mental health system to implement recommendations from the Mental Health Royal Commission, with more care in regional communities and a system dedicated to children. The government is investing $17.4 million in subregional follow-up care across the state, including at Central Gippsland Health. There is $141 million for five new youth prevention and recovery care units, including one in Gippsland, delivering sub-acute care and 50 new beds across the state, with support tailored to the needs of young people. Helping to pay for the projects will be the Mental Health and Wellbeing Levy, which will apply to businesses with more than $10 million in wages nationally. The levy, which the governments says will affect less than five per cent of employers, is expected to raise about $900 million per year by 2024-25. Owners of taxable land valued at less than $300,000 won’t pay land tax from January 1. The full reduction to the regional employer payroll tax rate – down to a quarter of the metropolitan rate – will be brought forward to July 1. The government has allocated $3.5 billion in education, including $148.2 million to establish the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership, to enhance teachers’ professional development. Two of the seven regional academies will be located in Bairnsdale and Moe. The government will continue its school building blitz, with $1.6 billion allocated, while it will provide additional funding for technical schools in Gippsland. The network of specialist family violence courts will be expanded to the Latrobe Valley. This year’s budget delivers on Labor’s promise to introduce free kindergarten for every three-year-old child, with $167 million to deliver it in every local government area for the first time. Offering at least five funded hours a week from next year, the program will be scaled up to deliver 15 hours a week for families by 2029. An overall package of $24.5 million has been allocated for the restoration of waterways and
catchments in Victoria, including the Gippsland Lakes. The budget delivers $7.1 billion to continue supporting hospitals and the healthcare system, including an additional $1.3 billion to continue the public health response to COVID-19. More than $517 million will go towards reducing the risk of bushfires, including $15.6 million to increase work to remove long grasses and other highly flammable undergrowth. More than $133 million will upgrade the digital radio service for Forest Fire Management Victoria staff and other emergency response personnel. This will mean personnel can avoid radio black spots and communicate better with other first responders when fighting fires and responding to remote emergencies. Over seven years, $138.8 million will be spent replacing Country Fire Authority radio equipment with modern digital technology. An additional $22.5 million will use the expertise of Aboriginal cultural burning in Victoria’s land management, contributing to bushfire preparation in local communities. The government will provide $10 million for a Morwell food manufacturing precinct. The government says the budget will support about 38,000 jobs each and every year during the next four years. Labor Eastern Victoria MLC Harriet Shing said the “once-in-a-generation budget” would build on the government’s record investment in Gippsland. “(It) ensures that more people across the region get the mental health support, treatment and care they need, closer to home,” she said. “It also invests in education, skills, and training to create pathways into employment and to drive the economic growth and recovery of our region.” Fellow Labor Eastern Victoria MLC Jane Garrett said the spending would deliver the jobs, infrastructure and services communities across Gippsland. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said there was little in the state budget for his electorate, with the exception of planning money for the Sale College redevelopment and a mental health outreach clinic at CGH. “We were waiting to see investments in our road and rail systems, particularly along the South Gippsland Highway, and there is virtually no new spending on Gippsland roads,” he said. Mr O’Brien said the government was unable to control its spending, and Gippslanders would pay through $5.8 billion in new and increased taxes.

THE Sale-based City Builders Church has denied allegations in Friday’s Herald-Sun that it has been involved in gay conversion therapy in the past. Former City Builders church member Hannah Lonnee told the newspaper she had been subjected to months of gay conversion “therapy” which included “...hours of exorcismlike prayer to ‘pray the gay away’...”. Former City Builders Church member Patrick McIvor has also made similar allegations in the past, although has not specifically named City Builders. However City Builders Pastor Brian Heath said conversion therapy had “never been administered by our church”. “Hannah Lonnee sought her own counselling through an unassociated program that was introduced to her by another church member. “Neither raised any reports of distress or concern,” he said. The Coalition for Marriage ran a strong campaign against same-sex marriage in 2017, garnering thousands of dollars for a national television campaign which included the face of one of the church’s pastors, Heidi McIvor. Friday’s Herald-Sun article also claimed concerns were mounting in The Nationals that church members were attending branch meetings in increasing numbers, and that one of its congregation members, Lee Marchant, was rumoured to be seeking a nomination as senior vice-president. Pastor Brian Health described the Herald Sun article as “a political hit piece designed to intimidate one of our leaders from withdrawing his nomination for senior vice president ahead of the party’s AGM on the weekend”. “We find it very disappointing that factional politics has sought to tie this serious allegation to our church in an effort to deny our church members their democratic right to political participation,” he said. He added 12 members of the church were Nationals members, so the assertion that church members were “turning up” was untrue. The church has made no secret of seeking to exert its influence through politics and in other spheres in the past. In 2019 Pastor Heath unsuccessfully ran as Family First candidate for the federal seat of Gippsland. “Culturally, we are seeing a decline in freedom of speech, religion and association challenging our hard-won position as a free and democratic society,” he said at the time. The Sale City Builders Church is affiliated with the Isaac Network, led by Jonathan David, who is based in Malaysia. Jonathan David, who describes himself as a prophet who talks to God, supports political involvement in making change, and is a strong supporter of former United States president Donald Trump, incorrectly predicting in October 2020 that Trump would win another term.

Duck season is set to open tomorrow
New rules to allow small business tradies to follow work interstate
THE Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson says small business tradespeople will be able to meet the demand for their skills wherever they are in Australia under new laws passed by the Senate. The Australian government’s Mutual Recognition Amendment Bill 2021 will make it easier for skilled workers to take up jobs across states and territories, without having to obtain a new licence for the same type of work in another jurisdiction. Mr Billson says the reform would give thousands of small business tradespeople the flexibility to work in different areas of the country. “This is a red tape buster that will help small business tradespeople who want to meet the demand for their skills across Australia,” Mr Billson said. “This reform offers small business employers the opportunity to secure skilled workers from interstate. “It also means small business professionals such as architects and engineers will be able to work more seamlessly across state borders.” Mr Billson said his office worked closely with the Australian government’s Deregulation Taskforce to achieve the reform. “It is an excellent outcome for the small business tradespeople that will directly benefit from these changes,” he said. “Importantly, while allowing freedom of movement across states and territories, the scheme also includes safeguards to maintain standards and protect consumers and workers. “We welcome the Australian government’s $11 million budget commitment to implementing the scheme, which will be used in part to improve information exchanged between jurisdictions.” Additional supporting legislation by the states and territories is expected to enable commencement of this scheme from July 1.
WHAT has already been a controversial duck hunting season is set to get underway tomorrow. The season opens at 8am tomorrow, and will continue for 20 days before closing 30 minutes after sunset on Monday, June 14. There will be a daily bag limit of five game ducks per day, and hunting the blue-winged shoveler is prohibited because of continued low numbers. Hunting start times are delayed through to Sunday, May 30, inclusive, to improve bird identification, recovery of downed ducks and enforcement of the hunting laws. The later start times are only in place for the first five days, because the start of the season is typically the period when more hunters are out in the field. Hunting must cease half an hour after sunset each day. For the rest of the season, hunting times begin 30 minutes before sunrise and end 30 minutes after sunset. Seven of the eight species of game duck are permitted to be hunted — the Pacific black duck, Mountain duck, Chestnut teal, Grey teal, Pinkeared duck, Wood duck and Hardhead. An announcement to lift some,but not all,restrictions exasperated proponents and opponents last month, when the Game Management Authority increased the bag limit from two to five birds per day, and allowed teal to be hunted, after it was announced in February the Chestnut and Grey teal were protected from being shot north of the Princes Highway. The authority also announced it would be changing its usual source of information from the independent Eastern Australian Waterbird Survey to data from a new helicopter survey, undertaken in November 2020 by “experienced wildlife consultants”. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas has not bowed to opposition and hunter groups’ calls to begin the season immediately. Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party MP Jeff Bourman has indicated he will table a petition in parliament calling for an extension to the season to “a full season of 87 days with a full bag of 10 birds per day”. Regional Victorians Opposed to Duck Shooting maintains the season poses a safety risk, citing the examples of New South Wales hunters, who must book in advance to alert authorities to where they will be hunting on public land, while in Victoria, authorities have not even been able to identify where all the public hunting areas are. The group says neither GMA nor DELWP have been able to provide accurate lists of hunting areas, nor estimate their number, despite numerous Freedom of Information requests.
Seven of the eight species of game duck are permitted to be hunted — the Pacific black duck, Mountain duck, Chestnut teal, Grey teal, Pink-eared duck, Wood duck and Hardhead. The group has again written to the Agriculture Minister, requesting due diligence is undertaken, including risk assessments, and social and economic impact studies. “...we again call for shooting to be restricted to areas which are signposted, monitored, out of ear-shot of residents and to shooters who have passed a waterfowl ID test in the last 12 months,” a spokesperson said. “With more people living in these areas now than they did in the 1950s, and with more people interested in enjoying Victoria’s natural assets in peace and safety, recreational bird shooting is no longer appropriate.” At June 30, 2019, 25,042 people were licensed to hunt duck in Victoria, inclusive of those with mixed licenses, and 13,036 were licensed to only hunt game birds including duck, according to GMA licensing statistics. Duck hunting in Victoria is predominantly undertaken by males, making up 98.1 per cent. GMA listed Sale as the top town in Victoria for the total reported number of ducks harvested in 2020, despite the Environment Protection Authority Victoria’s warning not to consume ducks from the Heart Morass area because of the high levels of PFAS (per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) found in local ducks. In US studies, PFAS chemicals have been linked to tumours in animals, increased cholesterol levels,
low infant birth weights, effects on the immune system, cancers and thyroid hormone disruption. While not closed as yet, Hollands Landing Lagoon has been placed on a watch list for wetland closures this season, because of the disturbance to the critically endangered Curlew Sandpiper. The Australian Defence Department is also warning hunters about the hazards of trespassing at its Dutson training area. It is still an active weapons range and has high numbers of unexploded devices, some dating back to World War 2. Despite signs every 100 metres along the fenced boundary and in the water, previous instances of trespassing have resulted in hunters wandering into the thick of training sessions. According to the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Region’s Economic Contribution of Recreational Hunting inVictoria report,released last year, recreational hunting contributed $8 million to Wellington Shire’s economy in 2019. Duck hunting accounted for $3.1 million of this (a drop from $8.4 million in 2013), with $2.3 million spent in Sale specifically. Wellington Shire contributed the third highest duck hunting expenditure to the state in 2019, behind Greater Melbourne ($22.7 million) and Greater Geelong ($4.3 million). Details of the 2021 duck season, including wetland closures, are available via www.gma.vic.gov.au

Concerns of govt focus on lowering speed limits, rather than fixing roads:
Opposition MP says ‘It’s easier to just stick up a sign’ Sarah Luke
CONCERNS regional speed limits will be lowered have increased, after the release of last week’s state budget revealed regional road maintenance will receive less than a tenth of what it was allocated previously. The latest state budget has allocated $44 million to plan, upgrade and maintain regional roads, $42 million to upgrade the regional road network for freight (including upgrading bridges and improving access for heavy vehicles), $3.6 million to transfer freight from road to rail to reduce road congestion, and $1.4 million to “deliver improvements in the way our roads are maintained and managed across 11 small rural shire councils”. The government’s new road safety strategy has also been allocated $187 million. In the 2019-20 budget, the government allocated $477.9 million to carry out regional road maintenance and upgrades, and $121 million to progress the Towards Zero 2016-2020 Road Safety Strategy. Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano said the government missed an opportunity to drive growth in the regions by investing in freight routes and regional road maintenance in the budget. “Regional communities and farmers will be disappointed that just weeks after calls for the lowering of speed limits on regional roads, the government has failed to adequately invest in the maintenance and upgrades required to make rural and regional roads safe,” she said. Shadow rural roads minister Roma Britnell said without a significant injection of funding, country roads would get worse as the government continually patched holes without addressing the underlying causes of surface deterioration. “This budget explains why Labor has been floating the idea of lowering speed limits on country roads – because they don’t want to invest the cash to fix them properly, and it’s easier to just stick up a sign,” she said. Concerns about lowering regional speed limits were sparked earlier this year, when the RACV said it would use the results of its new survey, which seeks to identify the most dangerous roads in regional Victoria, to “lobby all levels of government to make regional roads safer and look at lowering speeds on some roads to match conditions”. The My Country Road survey uses an interactive

According to the map, fatalities have occurred between 2014 and 2018 on local roads with speed limits of 80 kilometres per hour or higher in Fulham, Maffra, Stratford, Fernbank, Boisdale, Heyfield, Cowwarr, Nambrok, Dutson, Gormandale, Won Wron, Rosedale, Woodside, Port Albert and Port Welshpool. Serious injury crashes have occurred in nearly every part of the shire. The RACV estimates only 20 per cent of the 180,000 kilometres of Victorian regional roads with 100kmh speed limits actually meet the Australian Road Assessment Program’s minimum three-star safety standard (with one-star being the least safe and five-star the safest). The motoring group further estimates upgrading all 100kmh roads in Victoria to such a standard would take about 1000 years at the current level of funding. Research suggests that fatalities and serious

injuries are halved for each incremental improvement to a road’s condition. RACV senior transport, planning and infrastructure manager Peter Kartsidimas said in the past five years, more than half the deaths on Victoria’s roads had occurred on regional roads, but only about a quarter of Victorians lived in regional areas. Mr Kartsidimas said through the survey, RACV wanted to find out what local residents thought. “For example, is the speed limit too high given the condition of the road?” he asked. Before the budget’s release, Gippsland East MLA Tim Bull slammed any suggestion of lowering speed limits rather than fixing roads, and called for more funding to maintain country roads. Mr Bull labelled speed limit reductions because of poor road surfaces as “a cop-out”, adding it let the government “off the hook for its under-investment in country roads”. “There have been rumours for some time that roads like Bengworden Rd will be reduced to 80kmh as a deterrent for the increasing number of drivers using the road to avoid the barriers on the Princes Highway between Bairnsdale and Stratford,” he said. Mr Bull said the newly-erected ‘local traffic only’ signs erected on the Bengworden Rd were the government’s way of deterring the many motorists using the alternative route to avoid the Princes Highway’s constricting safety barriers. He added reducing speed limits to 80kmh could not be a “blanket approach”. “The Andrews government has already said it wants to lower country speed limits,” he said. “It’s concerning that the RACV has now adopted this lazy solution. “Country drivers pay their RACV membership expecting the group will lobby the government on their behalf, but the organisation is not sticking up for country members if it is advocating for speed limit reductions, whereas it should be lobbying for greater investment. “It’s not good enough we have signs up for weeks and months telling people to slow down due to

there being a traffic hazard (broken surface) ahead. “Fix the road rather than slow drivers down.” The government’s Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021–2030 aims to eliminate death from Victorian roads by 2050, and halve road deaths by 2030. It promises to “ensure that speed limits are appropriate to the infrastructure and function of the road”, describing “safer travel speeds” as a “lever of change”. “Travel speeds that match road design and road use are an effective, sustainable and long-term road safety risk mitigation approach,” it reads. The strategy says speeding contributed to at least 30 per cent of fatalities each year and a quarter of serious injuries sustained by light vehicle occupants. In March this year, an inquiry into the increase in Victoria’s road deaths received evidence that rural and regional roads in particular should be inadequately maintained, and recommended the government review its current road maintenance priorities to ensure standards such as line marking, safe shoulders and resurfacing were adequately maintained on high-speed minor roads. The same inquiry also urged the government to review speed limits on all rural and regional roads “as a matter of priority”. According to VicRoads, almost half of all lives lost on Victorian roads are on high-speed rural roads, and research has proven chances of being involved in a crash for those travelling in a 60kmh zone double with every five kilometres per hour increase in speed. According to Road Safety Victoria research, most crashes (38 per cent) that result in death occur on high speed rural roads ‘midblock’ (on sections of road not connected to an intersection). This is followed by intersections (23 per cent), and midblock on urban arterial roads (19 per cent). So far this year, 90 people have lost their lives on Victoria’s roads — 45 in Melbourne and 45 in rural Victoria, including two fatalities on Wellington Shire roads.

What are WARTS
Warts are lumpy growths in the skin caused by infection with human papilloma virus. Common warts seen on the feet are mosaic and plantar warts which are often deeper and resistant to pharmacy preparations. Warts are common, particularly in childhood. Some estimates suggest that up to one in five children have warts, with children aged 12 to 16 years most commonly affected.

Ms Gibb said clients often came into counselling believing they had run out of options, but her service offered a “safe place” for people to open up, discuss problems and get support without judgement. “There’s nothing we can’t talk
about, as long as the client is comfortable,”she said. “Counsellors are empathetic. “We understand the plight of our clients and we work collaboratively with them to find solutions, help them regain control and start feeling better,” Ms Gibb said. She said recovery from a gambling addiction was achievable, and counselling could offer relief and hope. “Finding a new way to think about gambling often starts simply by talking to someone who gets it,” she said.

THE Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation’s most recent data shows pokies losses across Gippsland have continued to increase since the venues reopened in November 2020. In December 2020, one month after the pokies reopened, losses more than doubled in most Gippsland local government areas. By January 2021, monthly expenditure was comparable to 2018-19 when the pokies venues were open for a full financial year. In 2020, Wellington Shire’s losses totalled $7,673,037, and from November 2020 to March 2021, the shire’s pokies losses totalled $8,151,706. This is despite pokies being closed down because of COVID19 between April and November 2020. A Latrobe Community Health Service spokesperson said each year about 330,000 Victorian adults were harmed by their own gambling, and another 300,000 are negatively affected by someone else’s. LCHS behavioural health programs manager Paula Gibb said financial loss was the most obvious type of gambling harm, while other harms included feelings of anxiety or depression, relationship conflict, and diminished work or study performance. “People affected by gambling harm often experience stigma, with many saying they would rather admit to an alcohol or

Improved accommodation for medical staff WORK on a new major infrastructure project for Central Gippsland Health has begun. The construction of a new apartment complex providing accommodation for medical staff began last week with the removal of existing infrastructure and the installation of temporary fences. Located at Foster St, Sale, across from Lake Guthridge, the major accommodation project has been five years in the making. Supported by the John Leslie Foundation, with a contribution from the Flint Estate Special Purpose Fund, the modern accommodation complex will cater to a number of different medical staff. CGH chief executive Dr Frank Evans said he was excited to see this project coming to fruition. “Whether it is junior medical staff beginning their career, hospital medical officers and registrars obtaining experience at CGH or for those supporting leave replacement, the accommodation is an investment in the highest quality infrastructure and equipment to meet the needs of our patients and community,” he said. “The junior medical staff we support are the doctors of our future and we want them to enjoy their experience at CGH, both at work and in our community.” The new accommodation complex provides a more cost effective model for maintenance and utilities, preventing the need for leased accommodation. It provides an attractive alternative to hotel or motel accommodation for visiting medical staff, and provides housing for students at a low cost. CGH has an obligation to provide accommodation for junior medical staff and locums, and a desire to accommodate other students and staff on a short

A review of the accommodation stock owned and leased by CGH in 2015 established that the existing stock was run down and in need of major repair. “This new, modern apartment facility makes us a more attractive employer,” Dr Evans said. “We hope it will entice these professionals to settle in Sale and at CGH.” Email news to news@gippslandtimes.com.au

THE latest statistics from Ambulance Victoria show people needing an ambulance locally are waiting longer than the state’s average, with concerns increased workloads for paramedics has not corresponded with increased resources. Ambulance Victoria aims to respond to code one incidents — emergency responses with lights and sirens — within 15 minutes for 85 per cent of incidents state-wide, and respond to code one incidents within 15 minutes for 90 per cent of incidents in centres with populations greater than 7500. From January 1 to March 31 in Wellington Shire, only 57.1 per cent of ambulances arrived in under 15 minutes in instances of code one first responses, well over the state average of 75.1 per cent, with an average response time of 17.31s (past the state average of 13.19s). About 33.5 per cent of Wellington Shire’s total number of first responses were in Sale (226 out of the shire’s 674), which also fell short of Ambulance Victoria’s targets, with 81.4 per cent of ambulances arriving in under 15 minutes, with an average time of 11.09s. Response times measure the time from a Triple Zero (000) call being answered and registered by the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority, to the time the first resource arrives at the incident scene. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said he had been contacted by constituents in recent months who were concerned at how long it is taking ambulances to arrive. “I’ve had local paramedics raise their concerns with me over recent months as the workload has increased and the resources are simply not there,”

Letters to the editor Concerns over Australia’s security From Bob Hammill, Sale: I SERVED 20 years in Defence which included six years overseas service in Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. I never did anything daring or dangerous, but I did gain an interest in military history. With some now claiming they can hear the ‘drums of war’, I’m worried. Australia has never been well prepared for any major conflict, and we don’t have a history of bringing home the winner’s trophy from places like Korea and Vietnam. Added to that, we have a weak manufacturing base and community attitudes which almost guarantee the number of volunteers to defend Australia will fall way short of what’s required. I don’t think government can do much about all that, so I’ve been thinking how can I reduce my concerns and get a good night’s sleep. I think the most important thing is to ensure that ministers recognise the weaknesses in our top military leaders. In the early stages of a major conflict, history shows they’ve been found wanting, and I can’t see anything that would change that situation. They have the theory of commanding divisions in battle, but no practical experience. None would regularly, if ever, think in billion dollar amounts; know how to rapidly upscale major projects, and none are accustomed to making bold logistical decisions without a large following of committees and supporters. You’ll only find experience like that in the private sector, and in a major conflict, those skills would be invaluable. For people like Twiggy Forrest, Ita Buttrose, Paul Keating, Gina Rineheart, Peter Costello and the like, a billion dollars is not a big number. In a major conflict we’ll need leaders like that from the private sector if Australia is to quickly reach capacity and our full potential. I’d be confident people like Twiggy Forrest or Gina Rineheart could build a factory and have a million uniforms rolling off the production line before the military generals could calculate the number of sub-committees they’d require to complete the job. Next off, I’d like to see conscription legislation ‘locked and loaded’ — ready to put on the table at any time — and finally, as a ‘fallback’, I’d also sleep better if I knew about 20 Defence Force staff were currently writing ‘The Idiots Guide to Resistance Fighting’.

Men’s shed needs admin volunteers From Fred Schultz, Sale: THE Sale Men’s Shed is grateful for the generous coverage (Gippsland Times 4/5). This article highlighted a valuable aspect of our service to the community. In the article it was noted that we were experiencing difficulty in recruiting new members. This is having a serious impact in a critical area of the shed’s life and ability to continue our work. We are in great need of people with a continuing passion for administration to support us in executive roles as, some years ago the Sale Men’s Shed became an incorporated body. This was to provide an approved model of governance and accountability as we handle monies and items of value donated to the shed, as well as grants from government bodies and philanthropic bodies. We also provide services to people who are vulnerable for various reasons. All this means that there is a continuous need for record maintenance and statutory returns, which are essential to meeting our legal obligations to the corporate regulator and the Victorian Men’s Shed Association. We are seeking a person or people who feel that this might be a way they can join in the regular gathering of a group which needs experienced administrative support which would provide high valued assistance. Please visit us at 30 Desailly St, Sale, on a Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 9am and 2pm, or phone Phil Armstrong 0417 034 537, lan Huckel 0439 992 940, Fred Schultz 0407 347 475.

crocheted squares to be made into blankets and ponchos or wool. People wishing to donate can phone 0409 711 627.
A Royal Commission is needed into DVA From Doug Steley, Heyfield: I’M a disabled ex service veteran, and I have been working to try and get a Royal Commission into Department of Veterans’ Affairs and veteran suicides for more than 12 years. I have dared to send authorities a few things I did during my service that caused some of my post-traumatic stress disorder, but have received little response. If the department, its minister and staff can’t stomach hearing what veterans have done during their service, then how do they expect to deal with the problems veterans face? So many of the complaints veterans have that they wanted voiced in this Royal Commission are directed at the political masters of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the department itself and the sycophantic ex-service organisations run by senior officers wanting pats on the heads for being polite and doing what they are told, rather than working to protect veterans. This is why we need a fully independent Royal Commission not just a smoke and mirrors public relations stunt. Veterans are dying, and our government is only worried about how this will affect its popularity.
We need to sequester more carbon in trees From Desmond Bellamy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Australia: THE Australian government has pledged half a billion dollars for ‘clean’ energy projects, including 264 million dollars on carbon capture and storage (CCS). This involves capturing emissions from power stations and factories, and then burying them. However, the Climate Council has stated that CCS is “extremely expensive and cannot deliver zero emissions”. There are of course faster, simpler and cheaper ways to capture and store carbon. Firstly, plant more trees, and secondly, stop cutting down existing ones.
A recent study in Science Magazine states that globally, a 25 per cent increase in forested area could store more than 200 gigatonnes of additional carbon at maturity. Such a change has the potential to store an equivalent of 25 per cent of the current atmospheric carbon pool. Sadly, we are doing the opposite. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that about 7.3 million hectares of forest are lost every year, and roughly half of Earth’s tropical forests have already been cleared. Australia is the worst offender at tree clearing and wiping out animals. According to the government’s National Greenhouse Accounts, from 2010-18 almost two million hectares was cleared for grazing. The solution is crystal clear — stop eating grazing animals and the land can be revegetated.
Fight against prostate cancer goes on From Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia chief executive Professor Jeff Dunn AO: DEDICATED volunteers run more than 130 prostate cancer support groups around Australia, helping thousands of men and their partners through what is often, the most challenging experience of their life. In addition, thousands of fundraisers volunteer their time every day to help us fund lifesaving research into more effective treatment options, to ultimately save lives. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our charity and are the reason that survival rates continue to improve for Aussie men impacted by prostate cancer. In Australia, nearly 17,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and around 95 per cent of men will survive their diagnosis. There’s still more work to be done.

Obituary: William Gilbert (Bill) Astill OAM, 11-11-1925 — 2-5-2021
Numerous interests and a full and active life lived WELL-known Sale resident William (Bill) Astill died on May 2, 2021, aged 95. He connected with numerous people over those years and only a few years ago, lamented that if you live long enough, all your friends have gone. Over the years, many traumas or tragedies have occurred and Bill’s character was such, that he could always be relied on to ‘put it in your pocket and get on with life’. He loved life and had a great sense of humour, which endeared him to many, and that sense of humour remained with him to the end. Bill greatly enjoyed social occasions, and he loved people. Perhaps that came from being the seventh child of a family of eight children and also, from growing up in a boarding house. Bill’s mother Caroline ran a boarding house in Macalister St, Sale, while his father worked as a yardman at the Sale Hospital. Bill had five older sisters, one older brother and a younger brother. When Bill was eight years old, his mother bought the old National Bank building at 27 Foster St, Sale and turned it into a boarding house, naming it Centenary House. Bill had contracted polio when he was about two years old, the illness leaving him with much -reduced strength in his right arm and shoulder. Because of this long illness, when Bill began school at Sale 545 State School, he was in the same grade as his younger brother Stan. The brothers were close friends, and partners in mischief a lot of the time. Bill attended Sale Technical School for a couple of years before joining the workforce at age 14. He worked as an apprentice butcher at Newnham’s Bacon Factory in Stevens St, Sale, earning one pound a week, which was good pay in comparison to other trades. Stan also joined the trade, working as a slaughterman at the bacon factory. They were both interested in shooting, fishing,
running and riding bikes, and kept ferrets and greyhounds, both used when rabbit hunting. Rabbit skins were worth quite a bit in those days, and they received two shillings each skin when they sold a bag of them in Melbourne. Bill played local football in his younger years and also played for a Longford team called The Southerners. He also played cricket for Sale B in the years circa 1945 to 1949. In August 1946 tragedy struck when Stan was accidentally killed while handling a loaded gun which had jammed. The family was devastated. Later in life, Bill was always very aware of safety when using firearms. Bill met Betty Vaughan at the local Saturday night dance and they married in Hamilton in 1949. Bill and Betty lived at Centenary Guest House until they were able to buy a block of land in Elgin St, Sale, and build a house. Bill and Betty had four children — Suzanne, Robyn, John and Jennifer. Robyn suffered from cerebral palsy and was unfortunately destined for a short life, dying from pneumonia at age five. In the late 1940s to early 1950s, Bill had joined the North Gippsland Kennel Club. He had a beautiful English Setter and attended numerous dog shows during those years. During the 1970s, he became interested in Weimaraners, as he loved to go duck shooting and an obedient dog was a wonderfully helpful companion. Bill and Betty registered the name ‘Fieldman Kennels’, and a few litters of puppies found new homes. Bill had first joined Sale Rifle Club in 1947 but had not been a regular shooter as he was still involved at that time with various other sporting interests. In 1955 he took up shooting regularly, and it became an absorbing interest for him. An enthusiastic supporter of the sport, he devoted countless hours to keeping the local shooting clubs
ongoing. Bill felt that shooting was a wonderful sport in that many disabled people were able to compete equally with the able-bodied. He even travelled to Canberra to the Institute of Sport to become an accredited coach in the sport of rifle shooting. In 1993 he was awarded life membership of the No. 9 Central and West Gippsland District Rifle Association. He had served many years as president and as a team shooter, captain and coach. As well as being a member of the Sale Rifle Club, he was also one of the earliest members of the Sale Small Bore Rifle Club and was a founding member of the Sale Pistol Club in 1961. Bill was awarded life membership of the Sale Small Bore Rifle Club in September 1975. He wrote small booklets on the histories of both the Sale Rifle Club (in 2000) and the Sale and District Small Bore Rifle Club (in 2003). Before that, in 1988, he had written a booklet History of Sale Bacon Factory and my times with it. He enjoyed writing the stories of the incidents that had occurred there during his 40-year association with the factory. In about 1968, while still working at the bacon factory, he studied to become a meat inspector. Later, he obtained a job as a grade two meat inspector win the immediate district, and was responsible for inspecting at four different slaughter yards. Over the years, those yards all closed. He then travelled widely over a vast area of greater Gippsland to wherever his skills were needed. He was issued with a government car, and at most places he would have to arrive by 6.30am to check out the stock and the cleanliness of the yards and machinery and to write reports. Bill was required by state government rules to retire at age 65, but he remained on call for several years after that, filling in for other meat inspectors
Bill Astill had numerous interests, and enjoyed mixing with people from all walks of life. when needed. He was initiated into the Masonic Lodge in 1976 and was installed for his year as Master of King Edward Lodge No.189 on November 26, 1983, at the Masonic Temple in Maffra. He had since attained Grand Lodge rank. Bill was named as a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia in June 2003 for his “service to the sport of shooting through the Sale Small Bore Rifle Club and the Central and West Gippsland Rifle Union as an administrator and coach and for the community”. An active member of the Sale community, he was also an operative member of the Probus Club in Sale and of his local Neighbourhood Watch, also taking an interest in the Safety House program. After battling prostate cancer and declining mobility for many years, Bill finally made the difficult decision to leave his home of 66 years and moved to Opal Aged Care in December 2018. He did not want to be a burden to any of his family, or anyone for that matter, always doing his utmost to just ‘get on with life’ as best he could. He retained his great sense of humour to his final days, and will be missed greatly.

Playwright is inspiring
MICHAEL Griffith’s beautiful and contemporary plays are beginning to turn heads around the country, and now The Wedge Performing Arts Centre is taking advantage of his expertise. As the talented playwright prepares to bring his own production of The Magnolia Tree to Sale at the end of May, Griffith has taken time out of his busy schedule to mentor cast and crew of 42 George Street. 42 George Street is the first play to be produced inhouse at The Wedge. Written by Longford’s Melesa Eldred, the play is set against the backdrop of events that shaped Australia and follows the lives of three families. “Melesa’s work is gutsy, very real and has well drawn characters,” Griffith said. “The script is original and brave and if Melesa continues writing, she could develop into quite a significant Australian playwright.” Michael Griffith’s production of The Magnolia Tree stars talented Australian actress Tottie Goldsmith and is the story of a family, whose love for each other still resides underneath all their deep distrust and simmering rage—a family whose fractures could be healed by coming together to commit a murder. Griffith sees a strong similarity between his work and that of Eldred’s. “My scripts are vocal and make a stand, and I can see this coming out in Melesa’s work,” he said. “When I read the script I felt I just had to help.” The Magnolia Tree will be performed at The Wedge this Thursday from 1.30pm and 8pm. 42 George St will be performed at The Wedge from July 16 to 25. For tickets, visit www.thewedge.com.au or 100 Foster St, Sale, or phone 5143 3200.

Amalgamation planning funded for Sale College
THE state government allocated $3 million in last week’s state budget towards the consolidation of Sale College’s two campuses. A master plan will help the school work out where and how to rebuild the school. Eastern Victoria MLC Jane Garrett confirmed the planning and early works funding, as well as a need to upgrade the school, during a visit to the school’s Macalister Campus last week.
Last year, the high school stepped up its campaign for a single campus, earmarking a greenfield site near the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex. Sale College has more than 800 students, with year seven to nine students currently attending the junior campus on Guthridge Parade, and Years 10 to 12 on the senior campus at the corner of York and Macalister Sts.

PEOPLE will have the opportunity to tour one of the region’s leading co-educational independent schools and meet its principal when Gippsland Grammar invites local residents to a ‘tour and tea’ event next week. Together with the school’s leadership team, which consists of students and teachers, principal Leisa Harper Harper will welcome visitors to the secondary school Wednesday next week, to tour the facilities and see students at work before enjoying a casual morning tea. While Mrs Harper has been at Gippsland Grammar since March last year, because of COVID-19, she has not enjoyed the opportunity to meet as many locals as she would like. She said the event would appeal to students and parents looking at secondary school options for 2022 and beyond. “Every child deserves a great education,” Mrs Harper said. “Gippsland Grammar values, and has delivered, quality education for nearly 100 years. “I am proud to be the principal of this amazing school and I really look forward to meeting more locals. “I extend my personal invitation to each and every local with an interest in our school.” For catering purposes, visitors are asked to RSVP to the enrolments team by phoning 5143 6388. Gippsland Grammar students are among some of Victoria’s highest achieving students. In 2020, 23 per cent of the school’s Year 12 students achieved an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank above 90, which places them in the top 10 per cent of students in the state. And 55 per cent of students achieved an ATAR above 80, placing them in the top 20 per cent. Last year, 13 students secured apprenticeships and traineeships through Gippsland Grammar’s

BOOKWORMS and mad scientists at Sale Primary School have even more to smile about lately, with the addition of a brand new library and science building. Parliamentary Secretary for Schools Tim Richardson was on hand recently to officially open the rooms, much to the delight one of the school’s Foundation classes. The bright new building includes three conference spaces, a library, information and communications technology store, accessible toilets, a deck and a science room. Principal Chris Malone was happy to report the building is well used and well loved. “It’s a fantastic, flexible space — I think it’s something that the community’s really needed,” Mr Malone said. “The kids — they love it, everyone loves it. “Every child in the school does science every week, and every child in the school comes to the library to borrow a book every week.” Library captains Emily Ball, Year 5, and Howie Maple-Irvine, Year 6, were particularly thrilled with their school’s new building. Emily, who has piles of books at home but has a soft spot for Dr Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham (the first book she ever learned to read), said the new library made her job of putting books away much easier. “It’s what I enjoy,” she said. “You can learn more from a book than you can from technology, and it’s a much healthier option.” Howie also has far too many books to choose from, but if he absolutely had to land on a favourite it would be Star Wars: Legend of Luke Skywalker. “I like the set-up. Something different to look at — more modern and new,” he said of the new library. Mr Malone said the inclusion of science rooms was essential for STEM learning (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). “A large number of our students’ parents work at the RAAF base and the gas plants, and talking to them about the science and engineering side of things and what students need, science was a no-brainer to implement at the school,” he said. Two of the three conference spaces will be used by speech pathologists and psychologists for one-onone sessions, or for teachers to withdraw children from classes when needed, and the third has been designated a permanent space for leadership and school council meetings. “The teachers meet every week for an hour in there in their team groups to plan for their kids,” Mr Malone said. “We needed that; we’d moved that room around the school each time there was a new room opened up, and I said we just need to commit to having a designated room.” The information technology store will house the
One of Sale Primary School’s Foundation classes makes good use of the school’s brand new library. school’s computer technician and electronics, and because of the school’s growth in student numbers, the new toilets were much-needed. The government contributed $1.3 million for the project, while the school has also stumped up a significant contribution to finish off the building. The new building was part of the Victorian School Building Authority’s Permanent Modular School Buildings Program, which aims to deliver modern facilities, constructed offsite in modules over short timeframes to minimise disruptions to students and staff. A former library shelver, Mr Richardson was thrilled to be on hand to help open the facility. “The new library and science space here is a beautiful upgrade ... this is a bright and vibrant space,” Mr Richardson said. “To see the preppies today so excited, up and about and selecting their books ... they [the previous buildings] were old asbestos-impacted facilities that just weren’t fit for purpose. “We don’t want second class facilities hampering the first class education right here at Sale Primary School.” Work is not yet over at the school. Refurbishments of the historic Newry Primary School building onsite — currently used as a music room, with Defence Force transition and chaplain offices — havr begun. The works include replacing the original, damaged weatherboards and gutters, sealing the ceilings to prevent possums, and a lick of paint.

Briag PS celebrates its 150th year A ‘frog bog’ has been created at Sale and District Specialist School, and it is now full of tadpoles.
Hands-on learning at specialist school
SALE and District Specialist School VCAL students have been studying horticultural practices and learning to grow vegetables to use in their cooking classes. Recently, teacher Jodie Thompson was watering the garden during the school holidays and pulled up an heirloom beetroot which, to her shock, turned out to be a monster. “The beetroot was the size of my head and I knew I had to show the students, so it was refrigerated until school went back the next week”, Ms Thompson said. The beetroot was made into beetroot relish which the VCAL class planned to sell, along with tomato sauce, tomato relish and green tomato pickles, using heirloom tomatoes the students grew. The students have also been selling organic vegetable seeds harvested from their garden. Last year, students grew a multi-coloured corn and a blue-green corn, which they have bagged up and sold at the front office of the school. Another project the VCAL class has been busily working on in their vegetable garden is the creation of a ‘frog bog’ and bush tucker garden, helped by a Landcare grant of $5000 for its design and development. Students created a pond area with a returning water system which flows down a man-made creek. Frogs moved into the pond within weeks, and it is now full of tadpoles. Students have been utilising warrigal greens from the bush tucker garden in their cooking and developing a taste for Indigenous foods. More than 40 varieties of native Australian Teacher Jodie Thompson with a monster beetroot flora have been planted. grown in the school’s garden.
BRIAGOLONG Primary School is celebrating its 150th year this year. The Rural School no. 71 was opened in February 1871 on what was then known as Top Plain, and is thought to be the second school to open in the district. No government funding was available,
and a wooden building was built by the local community. Since then, the school has survived measles, polio and now COVID-19, a school consolidation attempt, bushfires, droughts and a switch to online learning, to remain a thriving school community.

St Mary’s students sprint down the shield
MAFFRA’S St Mary’s Primary School tasted success at the Heyfield and District School Cross Country earlier this month, taking out the Heyfield District School Sports Association Cross Country shield. The St Mary’s team of 32 students joined students from other local schools to run the course at the wetlands in Heyfield. The school reported all of its students competed in good spirits and “all did their best, representing our school with pride”. Seven students — Susie Coleman, Charlotte
Sage, Louis Phillips, Sam Nowak, Ella Higgins, Alexa Potter and Ashlyn Harrington — progressed to the Wellington Division Cross Country, which was held yesterday at Yarram. Sam said everyone who competed did a great job, and “when they weren’t racing, they were very supportive”. “I was there myself and after running the track it made me very proud of everyone’s effort,” he said. “In the end we won, but I wasn’t surprised because everyone ran brilliantly.”

Year 6s give a performance of Shakespearean proportions
Year 6 students at Stratford’s two primary schools performed Julius Caesar in front of large crowds recently.
Photo: Contributed
YEAR 6 students from St Patrick’s Primary School, Stratford, and Stratford Primary School joined together to present a performance of Julius Caesar as part of Stratford’s recent Shakespeare on the River Festival. Children rehearsed day and night to perform the classic Shakespearean tragedy, which was adapted into a musical romp and directed by local theatre personality Darren McCubbin. The students performed in front of both schools, as well as an exciting night performance in front of parents and the community. The schools reported students displayed plenty of courage and confidence to get up on stage to perform, and gave “a round of applause” to them all.

From CCS student to CCS business manager FORMER student Kaitlyn Abrahall has been appointed the new business manager at Catholic College Sale. A chartered accountant and small business owner, Ms Abrahall joins the college’s senior leadership team with responsibility for all business and financial aspects, including future delivery of the school’s masterplan. The school is halfway through a 10-year masterplan, which has resulted in a multi-million-dollar infrastructure overhaul, including new classrooms and state of the art technologies. Ms Abrahall is the daughter of Lisa and Geoff Abrahall, who have been small business owners in Sale for the past 15 years and are well-known supporters of local community and sporting clubs. She described the new role as a huge privilege, which combined her passion for the local community and “her” school, with a career pathway. “I’m excited to get started,” Ms Abrahall said. “In some ways it’s like I haven’t left, but in other ways the school is entirely different to when I was here. “Obviously the buildings and classrooms are very different, they are vastly improved; but there’s something special about the culture at Catholic College Sale. “There’s a genuine care and
warmth and perhaps it’s also because I really do value our school and our community, but I feel so proud to see what the school is now offering in terms of educational resources and technologies. “The school’s focus is to help each individual to be the best they can be — I can see how we are achieving that.” Ms Abrahall said her immediate focus was consolidation given the effects of COVID and the move to full amalgamation of students onto the one site at St Patrick’s campus at the end of last year. She said it was important to reflect on the changes and work with teachers and staff to capitalise on the new technologies and resources that were now in place. During the next five years, Ms Abrahall said she looked forward to implementing the final stages of the school’s masterplan, which includes a performing arts space at St Mary’s Hall and new athletics facilities. “Catholic College Sale has a special ability to unite its school community, to create long-lasting bonds between students that remain well beyond school years,” she said. “I value this culture and all the things that make our school special and I look forward to being a part of that into the future.”

Mental health funding for schools CHILDREN deserve to grow up healthy and happy, and after their family and friends, schools are one of the biggest supports in a young person’s life. The Victorian budget 2021-22, announced last week, allocates $277 million in new support for schools. This includes establishing a new $200 million School Mental Health Fund, which schools will use to deliver programs, staff and other support specific to their school community’s needs. The money will be rolled out to all regional and rural government schools first as a priority from term three, 2022, with metropolitan schools to follow from 2023. Schools will be able to draw from a range of evidence-based measures proven to work – including the ‘Positive Education’ model, therapy dog programs and mental health first aid training. Schools will also be able to use their funding to employ more mental health and wellbeing staff to
further support children and young people. The funding will expand the Mental Health in Primary Schools pilot, reaching 100 schools. A partnership with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, the pilot enables schools to employ a mental health and wellbeing coordinator, while also supporting staff to better understand and respond to mental health and wellbeing issues affecting students. The money builds on the state government’s pledge to fund a mental health practitioner in every government secondary and specialist secondary school by the end of this year. Acting Premier and Education Minister James Merlino said whenever he visited a school, families and teachers told him mental and health wellbeing was the single biggest issue affecting kids. “This is our opportunity to fundamentally transform the way we support our young people,” he said.

Sianna Mullet-Kinna, mentor Tanya Rickerby and Jayda Norman enjoy a story together, as part of the local ‘Your Past, Their Future’ youth mentoring program. Photo: Contributed
A LOCAL youth mentoring program is seeking adult mentors to keep students engaged with their education and boost their resilience, self-esteem and self-confidence. The ‘Your Past,Their Future’ is a youth mentoring program which has matched 48 young people and experienced adults since its inception locally in 2018. Increasing students’ sense of self-worth can help them build friendships with their peers and connections with their teachers. Benefits of youth mentoring include increased high school completion rates, improved attitudes about staying in school,enhanced academic motivation and achievement, improved social skills and behaviour, improved resiliency and self esteem, strengthened peer, school and family relationships, reduced risk of involvement with drugs and alcohol, a reduction in violent or anti-social behaviours and increased sense of belonging in the school community. The effects of drought,bushfires and the pandemic on local young people has meant that youth mentoring has never been more important locally. The program is looking for adult mentors to be
matched with students from Guthridge Primary School in Sale, Wurruk Primary School, Maffra Primary School, Sale College and Maffra Secondary College. Mentors must be committed to one hour per week during school terms until the end of the year, be non-judgemental, passionate about seeing young people achieve their potential and a good role model (reliable, trustworthy and respectful). Local institutions such as RAAF Base, East Sale, Esso and Graham Chalmer Real Estate have been supportive of the program, giving staff time to participate in the program. Mentors from Sale Hospital, ABC Gippsland, retirees, TAFE students and general people in the community have also volunteered. For more information, phone the program’s coordinator, Melesa Eldred, on 0400 197 705 or email melesa.eldred@education.vic.gov.au The program is funded by the Department of Education and Training, and is administered through Ozchild’s School Focused Youth Services.

Helping hand for teaching grads Graduate teachers from around the Sale diocese gather in Drouin to part rticipate t in a program off ffering f support rt. t
FIRST-year teachers from Catholic schools across the Sale diocese recently gathered to participate in a program designed to support their entry into the profession. The first day of the Diocese of Sale Graduate Induction and Mentor Program was held in Drouin, and was attended by 45 graduate teachers from Catholic primary and secondary schools. The day was full of activities, as graduates were introduced to each other and the governing body for Catholic schools in the Sale diocese, Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Ltd. Diocese director of Catholic education, Maria Kirkwood,said supporting teachers to develop expert practice was a key area of focus. “We know that the first few years of a teacher’s career can be a challenging time,” she said. “There’s a lot for graduates to absorb and adapt to as they make the transition from university to
the classroom. “Our graduate induction and mentoring program is a wonderful opportunity for early career teachers to learn more about the priorities and context of Catholic education,with guidance from a committed mentor.” Each graduate teacher enrolled in the program will be paired with an experienced mentor from their school, who will support the graduates as they work towards becoming fully registered teachers. Mentors involved in the program also receive training and support. Ms Kirkwood said the graduate program was one of several development opportunities offered by Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Ltd, as part of its commitment to strengthen the capability of staff members in every Catholic school in the diocese. The graduate induction and mentor program is run in partnership with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

Sykes’ stud smashes national sale records
RECORDS were broken and lifelong ambitions realised recently for a local family-run cattle stud, at the 56th Herefords Australia National Show and Sale in Wodonga. The records for the national sale top-price and individual exhibitor average were broken by the Sykes family’s Longford-based stud, Mawarra Genetics. The action began in the show ring with each Mawarra bull being awarded a class placing and Mawarra If Only named reserve junior champion and Mawarra Terminator reserve intermediate champion. Mawarra was awarded Most Successful Exhibitor of the show. The helmsman sale was conducted online and simultaneously broadcast at the venue. At the close of bidding,Mawarra If Only Q264 was bought for a new sale record price of $103,000 by David and Olwyn Lyons, Melville Park Herefords, Vasey. The sire of If Only Q264 was a Mawarra bred bull, Emperor L336. A three-quarter brother to If Only Q264 sold for $100,000 for Queensland stud,Talbalba Herefords in 2020. Deanne Sykes from Mawarra said to have bred the onlyAustralian Hereford sire to have two sons sell for more than $100,000 was a huge accolade for the stud. “It goes to the consistent performance and profit-driving results producers are achieving with Mawarra genetics,” she said. Mawarra Terminator Q274 was bought for the second top-price of $53,000 by Oak Downs Poll Herefords and Morganvale Poll Herefords, both in South Australia, with a share to Stoneburn Poll
Herefords, New Zealand.Terminator Q274 is by the highly successful U.S. sire, NJW 79Z Z311 Endure 173D. Mawarra Influential Q162 was the next highest seller of the day at $42,000. He was bought by Graham Genetics,Cootamundra,New SouthWales, in partnership with Haven Herefords and Pulham Herefords, both from the United Kingdom. In summary, the seven Mawarra bulls offered averaged a record-breaking $41,428. Peter and Deanne Sykes expressed their pride and gratitude after the results were in. “It’s been a lifelong goal of mine to sell a bull for $100,000 at the national,” Peter said. “To be able to achieve it with our children working with us,and our grandson Carter there as well,made it even better. “Our son Logan and employee Connor Evans work full time for us. Our daughter Taylah, son Brandon, daughter-in-law Brittany, and our school-based trainee, Katie Kerby, were all part of the team last week. “They are all passionate about the beef industry and we’re fortunate to have them all involved in the business.” Deanne said she was“proud,grateful and humbled” about the results. “We put an enormous amount of work into developing our breeding program, preparing, and offering the bulls,” she said. “It is incredibly rewarding to see our bulls so highly sought after. “We are excited to see the impact they make to the herds that have invested so heavily to acquire them.”
Be alert for leptospirosis LEPTOSPIROSIS can have a significant affect on a dairy herd, causing economic losses through increased abortions and calf deaths. It is a serious infectious disease caused by bacteria, which can affect a range of animals including cattle and humans. An integrated approach to prevent leptospirosis should consider vaccinating the whole herd (following directions on the vaccine label); developing and implementing a farm biosecurity plan, and considering the risk of introducing infection when bringing in stock and only purchasing animals with an animal health statement. Agriculture Victoria and Dairy Australia have worked together to develop a biosecurity tool to assist dairy farmers create a farm biosecurity plan tailored to their farm. Farmers can access the tool at biosecurity.dairyaustralia.com.au to manage their
farm and herd’s risks to 14 separate diseases. If leptospirosis is suspected, confirmation requires testing from a veterinarian. Spread can be through exposure to contaminated water, food, pastures and soil or contact with tissue or urine of infected animals. Some of the signs which could lead to suspect leptospirosis in a herd include abortion or still births; decline in quality and quantity of milk; bloody, port wine coloured urine; rough, dry coat, and severe fever and death in young animals. Leptospirosis is recognised as a serious occupational health hazard for humans. The dairy is a key contact point, because of urine splashes and the close contact between dairy cows and dairy workers. — Richard Smith Agriculture Victoria dairy extension officer

SALE beef fattener Barry Hollonds won three carcase competitions at the recent National Beef Carcase Competition, including Meat Standards Australia’s award for the highest indexing carcase in Australia — scoring a whopping 68.95 points out of 80. The carcase — an Angus steer weighing 340 kilograms bought locally — was one of more than 3.5 million carcases graded in the category, and came out on top for eating quality and potential merit in Australia. Other victories produced on Mr Hollonds’ 100 hectare Sale farm, Henley Park, included a pen of three heifers who placed first in Victoria and sixth in Australia in the class two, pasture fed category (260 kilogram to 340kg range), and three more animals who placed first again in Victoria and fifth nationwide in the class three, pasture fed export chiller steer category (300kg to 420kg range). The 66-year-old was presented with his accolades at a Beef Australia awards ceremony in Rockhampton, Queensland, last month. The competition judges carcases based on a combination of tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall liking of beef at the point of slaughter, and averages the quality of 39 cuts in a carcase. It takes into account traits including carcase weight, rib fat, marble, ossification, hormone growth promotants, hump height and sex. The scores give producers an idea of how changes in breeding and genetics or management decisions affect their livestock’s eating quality, and allows the producer to assess changes in their business to better the quality. The meat was assessed with a ‘gun’ carcase grader at the Greenham’s plant in Moe, as entries could not be judged in person this year because of COVID travel restrictions. Mr Hollonds attributed his growing success to improvements in the Angus breed’s genetics and breed developments over the past decade, as well as a shift in his farm’s focus
Barry Hollonds’ Sale farm of about 100 hectares has produced nationally ranking beef.

to bettering eating quality, and improving its grazing — with a favourable season bringing high quality pasture. “We have worked very hard at ensuring the cattle are on good pasture all year round,” he said. Recent highs in beef prices have allowed Mr Hollonds to reinvest money back into his business — attaining cows and bulls with better genetics and improving his husbandry. Mr Hollonds’ produce is a regular feature in the annual competition’s lineup, previously scoring first in the state and 13th nationwide in his respective category in 2018, and naming Mr Hollonds as one of Victoria’s top 100 producers in 2017. In this year’s competition, entry numbers were down in some grassfed classes because of consecutive years of drought, but head judge Janine Lau said there was little or no drought impact seen in ossification or carcase quality, and the country’s MSA index performance Barry Hollonds after he was presented with the continued to climb each beef expo.

Another one-point win for Woodside Liam Durkin THE football gods smiled on Woodside for the second week in a row. The Wildcats won their second North Gippsland football match in as many weeks by one point, defeating Heyfield 11.6 (72) to 10.11 (71). Woodside has now been involved in three onepoint games in the past four weeks, following a loss to Sale City in round four and victory over Rosedale two weeks later. A goal in the dying seconds from Wildcats coach Michael Duncan broke Heyfield hearts, and kept Woodside a game clear on top of the ladder. The finale was befitting of the match, as the margin hovered around 10 points. The Wildcats took a nine-point lead into half-time, but a five-goal third quarter wrestled the lead back for the Kangaroos heading into the fourth. Both teams defended strongly during the final quarter, as only three goals were registered for the term. In the end, Heyfield was left to rue having more scoring shots on the drive home from Woodside. Best players for the Kangaroos were Shaun Humphreys, Brad Berry and James Conway. Ben Johnson, Josh Kennedy and Will Broadbent stood out for Woodside. ROSEDALE showed why it was the talk of preseason, defeating Yarram by 15 points on its home turf. The Blues were the better team in the second half, kicking eight goals to five to record a 13.4 (82) to 9.13 (67) win. Playing for the Pride Cup, players from both teams in football and netball wore specially designed jumpers and dresses for the occasion. It was the second time in as many weeks Rosedale donned a special guernsey, after playing in mental health themed colours last round. Brandon McDonald led the scoring for the victors, booting five to take his tally to 26 goals from six games. Luke Stuckey was best-on-ground for the second week in a row, while Rosedale leaders Frazar Brouns and Brad McKay showed how it's done in commendable displays. Chris Bruns, Boadie Motton and Keifer Sutherland were best for Yarram. YALLOURN-YALLOURN North made light work
of Sale City. The Bombers led from start to finish, and walked off their home deck with a resounding 21.14 (140) to 11.8 (74) victory. A four-goal opening term set the match up, as YYN took a 43-point lead into the main break. It was goals galore in the third term, with the Bombers booting seven and the Bulldogs six.While this gave spectators from both teams something to cheer about, the reality of the situation was seen when the final siren sounded and YYN had virtually doubled Sale City's score. Keenan Hughes kicked five goals in a best-onground display, while Mannon Johnston was also busy inside 50, kicking four, as was Mitchell Luck, who did likewise. The trio received good support from Kyle Jennings, Dylan Bentley and Jack Robinson. Better players for Sale City were Bohdi Walker, Mitch Evans (three goals) and Ben Chivers. CHURCHILL made it another long day for Gormandale. The Cougars put the foot down in the second quarter after a spirited showing from the Tigers in the first, on their way to a 23.20 (158) to 8.4 (52) win. The margin bled out to more than 100 points in the finish, as 12 players got on the scoresheet for the victors. Angus Mitchell, Ben Skinner (four goals) and Brendan Holt (five) were best for the Cougars. Churchill player Steve Warr kicked a goal in two different grades on the same day after coming up from the reserves. John Chessells played another good game for the Tigers, and made the most of his opportunities inside 50, kicking three goals. Jack Burgess and captain Josh Pearce also put in honest efforts. TRARALGON-TYERS United got the job done against Glengarry. The Bombers broke away from a determined Magpies' outfit after three-quarter-time, running out 15.11 (101) to 9.11 (65) winners. A strong third quarter from Glengarry had the home side within 14 points at the final break, before a five-goal to one final term ensured victory for TTU. Jacob Albanese was in the thick of the action again, as was Brad Kelleher who kicked seven goals. Dean Brooks, Michael Ryan and Layne Hetherton played well for Glengarry. COWWARR had the bye.

Gap opens on ladder
THE gap between the top and bottom four teams on the East Gippsland football ladder increased to two wins following Saturday’s matches. After defeating teams in the bottom four, the top four remain level on points. STRATFORD returned to the winners’ list with a 97-point victory over Wy Yung at home, 21.13 (139) to 6.6 (42). The big victory increased the Swans’ percentage to keep them on top of the ladder. The Swans kicked six goals to one in the first quarter before both sides booted four during the second, with the hosts leading by 38 points at the main break. Any hope the Tigers had of coming back were extinguished in the third term, when the Swans kicked five goals to one, before adding six majors to one in the final quarter. Tim Hawkins was outstanding playing at centre
half-forward, playing alongside Ben Channing. In a day when the forward had plenty of the ball, Rodney O’Keefe kicked five goals and Hayden Erfurth four. Gavin Bickery, Mitch Hawkins and Regan Tait ensured the Swans controlled the midfield battle. Chris Wheeler, Josh Broome and Jock Overend were best for the Tigers. BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG players and supporters would have enjoyed the long drive home after their 84-point win over Orbost-Snowy Rovers. The Bombers kicked 13 unanswered goals over the first three quarters before both sides kicked seven during an attack-filled final term. The Bombers won 20.10 (130) to 7.4 (46) to stay in second place on the ladder. Sam Bedggood and Shaun Bates continued their good form for the Bombers, while James Whelan, Mat Goodwin and David McKean also made strong contributions. Jim Reeves stood out in the forward line, kicking six goals, while Jarrad
Neilson booted four. Cody Robertson and Hamish Nettleton (three goals) worked hard in a losing effort for the Blues. LINDENOW held off a strong challenge from Lucknow to win by 15 points. Trailing by three points at half-time, the Cats added seven goals to four to win 10.8 (68) to 7.11 (53). Bayden Ashwood made the Cats’ best-on-ground for the second week in a row, while Jack Neal and Norman Barry were also major contributors. Luke Dyer kicked four goals. Brodie Matthews and Tim Coxhill led the way for the Magpies. IT took until the second half for Lakes Entrance to shake off Paynesville. Leading by 25 points at half-time, the Seagulls kicked 12 goals to one in the second half to win 18.15 (123) to 4.6 (30). Zach Svetlik and Darcy McKendry were the Seagulls’ best players.

PHOENIX-CAT’S recorded its first win of the Sale touch footy season on Wednesday night, defeating the Mustangs nine tries to seven. The game was won in the first half, when Phoenix-CAT’s scored six tries to four. It was through the efforts of Jack Neal with his five tries which enabled Phoenix-CAT’s to get off to that good start. Although Neal is a Nagle player, teams have taken advantage of this season’s lax ruling of ring-in players. Kerry Shotter played his usual high-standard game, scoring two tries, while Lexi Laskowski and Kyung Steward each scored one. For the Mustangs, Jonathan Manifold scored two tries, while Jessica McGovern, Tom McGovern, Ethan Phipps, Nicola Rosenberger, and Ryan Rosenberger each scored one. Best players were Tom McGovern, Ryan Rosenberger, Shotter, Nicola Rosenberger and Jessica McGovern. Mackenzie Laskowski won the encouragement award. THE Pink Panthers, without captain Nigel Shaw, went down to a determined Porky’s Pines team 5-3. Top scorer was Andrea Schofield with three tries for Porky’s, while teammate Ben Humphris scored two. For the Panthers, Albert Van Vyver scored two and Ben Skuce one. Best players were David Ropeti,Van Vyver, Dai Rushdi, Schofield, and Samantha Lorenz. THE experienced Nagle College team proved too much for the young Longford Trailer Hire team, winning 5-3. Neal top-scored for Nagle with two tries, with Mason Annear, Jess Churches and Isla McCarthy each scoring one. Brodie Towers top-scored for Longford with two tries, with Peter Hall scoring a try in his first game this season. Best players were Towers, Oscar CrundenSmith, Neal, Rhiannon Massey, and Isla McCarthy. Jordan Robertson won the encouragement award in his first game.

Magpies hold off Maroons Liam Durkin SALE ended a two-game losing streak by defeating Traralgon at home. The Magpies remain in fourth place on the Gippsland League football ladder with their 10.17 (77) to 8.11 (59) victory. The Magpies welcomed some more than handy players back into the line-up, including former Gold Coast Suns player Jack Leslie and reigning Gippsland League best-and-fairest Jack Lipman. Leslie was among the Magpies’ best players, while Lipman kicked two goals in his first game for the season. Playing a key role in defence,Will Leslie was beston-ground. Jack McLaren, Nathan Whitford, Jordan Dowsett and Jamie Sweeney also performed well. Inaccuracy in front of goal may have cost the Magpies a greater winning margin, but nevertheless, the result sees them a game clear in fourth, one position ahead of Traralgon. Conor Little,Tye Hourigan,Adan Jaensch, Peter Strong, Luke Johnston and Ewan Williams played well in the 18-point loss. The result was fitting as the Magpies hosted their past players’ day, and celebrated their 1950 and 1971 senior premierships, 1970 and 71 reserves and 1990 and 2001 thirds flag wins. Tribute were also paid to club hall of fame members Kevin Hogan, Bob Mason and Don Schuback. MORWELL got its first win of season 2021 on the board with victory at Maffra. The Tigers led at every change, running out 11.10 (76) to 7.8 (50) victors. Having lost three matches by under 10 points in the first six rounds, the win would have netted a huge sigh of relief from all wearing the yellow and black. The result keeps Morwell within realistic distance of the top five, due mostly to a healthy percentage of 84.47 that has come about from those close losses. The Tigers replaced Maffra in seventh place on the ladder, with the Eagles now in eighth following a hat-trick of defeats. Morwell was able to put these frustrations behind it on Saturday in defeating the reigning premier on its home deck. Cody Macdonald kicked three goals, while Tom Caile, Max Linton, Dan Musil, Isaac Abas, Boyd Bailey and Zac Anderson contributed well. Ed Carr, Tom Jolly, Josh Davis and Winston Gieschen battled hard for the Eagles. MOE had a comfortable 57-point victory over Drouin. The Lions made life hard for themselves, kicking 2.8 (20) in the first-half, before running out the game with 12.15 (87) to 5.1 (31) on the board. The main talking point of the game was not the result itself, but a spectacular mark by Moe captain Jacob Wood in the second quarter. An inboard kick

Scott Van Dyk and Declan Keilty were again in Moe’s best players, and received good support from Simon Harris, Mitchell Stanlake, Lucas Forato and Trent Baldi. LEONGATHA made Bairnsdale players look like witch’s hats in their own backyard, winning by
to 6.11 (47) rout. Jordan Staley booted five goals in a best-onground performance, and was one of 11 players to hit the scoreboard. Josh Bates and Aidan Lindsay were also prominent for the Power. Volvo - BMW - Volkswagen - Mercedes Benz - Peugeot
