Vaccines for over 50s Traralgon centre and can be made by phoning 1800 675 398.

A number of these open access centres will offer a clear pathway to the Pfizer vaccine strictly for those eligible to receive it.

The Pfizer vaccine is supply limited and prioritised for eligible people under the age of 50 in phase 1a and 1b of the Commonwealth’s program, in line with advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation.

State Health Minister Martin Foley said the best way people could support Victoria’s recovery from COVID-19 was to take the opportunity to be vaccinated as they were eligible.

“We’ve worked hard to have 22 sites open to the

eligible public by [yesterday], and there’ll be more to come.

“Initially, we are asking Victorians to phone up and book if you aren’t headed to a high-volume vaccination centre.”

Many of those only eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine will choose to be vaccinated at their local respiratory clinic or participating GP. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said the vast majority of general practices would begin vaccinating from May 17.

But a Sale Clocktower Medical Centre spokesperson said bookings were now open there for phase 2A of the rollout, and people were able to be vaccinated from this week.

Marking a milestone

SATURDAY was a big day of celebration for Maffra Municipal Band, and not just because it was officially the band’s 70th birthday.

Five life memberships were awarded to 20-plus year members John Crockford, Irene Crockford, Mike Coen, Eddy Schoo and Robyn McDonald, who have all been significant contributors to the band’s success and longevity.

Of course, the band used the opportunity to give back to the community, and provided a one-hour concert in the town rotunda before heading off to a birthday luncheon and awards ceremony at Duart Homestead.

In recognition of the occasion’s importance and the community’s appreciation and love for the service the band provides, Wellington S h i r e m ay o r G a r r y Stephens made a speech and was there to personally congratulate awardees.

Those aged over 50,Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged over 18 and other critical and high risk workers are eligible.

Those in 2A join people aged over 70, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients aged over 55, other health care workers and critical and high risk workers including defence and emergency service personnel and meat processing workers in being able to access the vaccine.

The broadening of patient criteria reflects changes to the rollout schedule announced by the federal government on April 21.

Clocktower Medical Centre is delivering the AstraZeneca vaccination, and has reported some patients are deferring the COVID-19 vaccination Continued page 3 Cutting the cake were John Crockford and Alan Vance, who was a band member in 1951 when the band became incorporated, and is a life member himself.

Band president Cindy Chrisp said records showed the band had existed for many years before incorporation, with some photos existing from the 1800s.

The band is a much-loved community asset, and currently consists of brass, woodwind and percussion players of all levels.

“We have different sections of the band for different levels, so basically there is room for players of all levels,” Ms Chrisp said.

The band meets weekly for practice and plays events every few weeks It receives no council funding and does all its own fundraising with support from the local community and local Rotary and Lions clubs.

OVER-50s now have access to COVID-19 vaccinations, with phase 2A of the vaccine rollout brought forward to this week.

As of yesterday, people aged 50 years and over can receive the AstraZeneca vaccine at respiratory clinics like Inglis Medical Centre in Sale, and state and territory vaccination clinics.

Most participating general practices will have the vaccine from May 17, although some will have it earlier.

To help fast-track the rollout, 16 high-volume vaccination centres are opening across Victoria this week — including one at Traralgon Racecourse, managed by Latrobe Regional Health..

Sale dietician says restrictive diets are just not sustainable long term

A SALE medical professional says people have a better chance of recovering from terminal cancer than maintaining weight loss from a diet in the medium to longer term.

Accredited practising dietician Simone Godde says the notion that any kind of restrictive diet was sustainable was “a dangerous myth”.

Her comments come as International No Diet Day nears, taking place this Thursday, May 6.

Ms Godde said every month, there seemed to be a new “fad” diet that hit the market and claimed to do what others have not.

“Diets promise so much, but deliver so little,” she said.

“A crucial factor neglected by proponents of these

diets (many of whom have little scientific knowledge or credibility) is a little thing called ‘genetics’,” she explained.

“As it turns out, one of the main determining factors of weight and shape is our genes.”

Ms Godde said a far better objective was committing to long-term health and quality of life, rather than focusing narrowly on weight as the sole or major determinant of wellbeing.

“Weight and health is not and has never been a causation, only ever a correlation,” she said.

Ms Godde said Dr Lindo Bacon, in his book Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth about Your Weight displaced some important myths including: “That fat kills.” On average “overweight” people

Accredited practising dietician Simone Godde (right) discusses healthy lifestyle and holistic health with a patient. live longer than “normal” weight people (page 124); “lose weight, live longer.” No study has ever shown that weight loss prolongs life (page 140); and “anyone can lose weight if he or she tries.” Biology dictates that most people regain the weight they lose, even if they continue their diet and exercise program (page 170).

In his book If Not Dieting, Then What? Dr Rick Kausman, in his first chapter on how diets don’t work, goes into the dangers physiologically and psychologically.

“DIET,” he submits, translates “D” for Deprivation, “I” for Impressive results in the short term “E” for Energy Sapping and “T” for Temporary.

Ms Godde said it was a great read, along with Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace with Food and Transform Your Life by registered dietitian Alissa Rumsey.

She delves into the politics of weight, addressing the big influences on weight stigma bringing a refreshing freedom of eating.

At the heart of International No Diet Day is a declaration of a day free of dieting and obsessions about weight and shape and questioning the idea of one ‘right’ body shape, The day celebrates body acceptance and fat acceptance and body shape diversity, and raises awareness of weight discrimination, size-bias and fat-phobia.

It aims to foster an understanding of the science and facts about the diet industry and the dangers of commercial diet statistics.

The Butterfly Foundation of Australia says “dieting can make some people more vulnerable to developing eating disorders (with young female dieters 18 times more likely to develop an eating disorder than non-dieters)”.

International No Diet Day acknowledges the suffering of those with eating disorders and failed weight-loss surgery, and promotes a healthy lifestyle focusing on health at any size.

Ms Godde urged people to ditch diets.

“Recognise your body is beautiful exactly as it is, celebrate and embrace qualities such as your uniqueness, quirkiness, kindness or strength for instance,” she suggests.

“Make a list of things you love about your body.

“Focus on the positives.

“Be kind to your body — begin efforts to live a healthier lifestyle and self-love.

“Organise a group of friends, family or colleagues to have a day without dieting.

“Eat what you love.

“Create a supportive environment for someone to seek help or contribute to a greater understanding of eating disorders and dangers of dieting.

“Have fun with food — be adventurous and cook something that you have always wanted to, but never cooked before.

“Blog on the day; share your experience with diets.”

Ms Godde said the websites www.internationalnodietday.com, thebutterflyfoundation.org.au and www.eatingdisorders.org.au/about-us/ had useful information.

Over-50s can now be vaccinated From page 1 because they are unsure or nervous after recent reports of rare complications in a small number of patients.

The clinic’s doctors urge these people to speak with them regarding their concerns and questions, adding it was imperative vaccination was taken up by the majority of the community to ensure Australia is protected from more COVID-19 outbreaks in the future.

It says it has not had any serious side effects reported by any patients who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommends the Pfizer vaccine is preferred over AstraZeneca in adults aged under 50 years.

The recommendation is based on the increasing risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 in older adults (and hence a higher benefit from vaccination) and a potentially very rare but increased risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia following AstraZeneca vaccine in those under 50 years.

AstraZeneca can be used in adults aged under 50 years where the benefits are likely to outweigh the risks for that individual, and the person has made an informed decision based on an understanding of the risks and benefits.

People who have had the first dose of AstraZeneca without any serious adverse effects can be given the second dose, including adults under 50 years.

The COVID-19 vaccination must be separated by two weeks from any other vaccinations, including the flu vaccinations.

Govt selects site for quarantine hub A SITE on the edge of Melbourne’s north has been selected by the state government for a quarantine accommodation hub.

The state government will begin discussions with its federal counterpart about planning.

Subject to Commonwealth agreement, planning will begin on a 500-bed alternative quarantine hub in Mickleham, with an expected cost of about $15 million to get the project ready for construction.

The final decision on whether to proceed with construction will be made in September, pending support from the Commonwealth and future insight on a range of issues, including the progress of the nation's vaccine rollout, the efficacy of vaccines in preventing transmission, and Commonwealth decisions on rules governing travel to and from Australia.

The government says new hub’s design is informed public health and infection control experts, and is based on the facility operating at Howard Springs in the Northern Territory.

Regal visit to Yarram Peter Hill

RECOGNITION of the contribution of Victoria’s front line workers and volunteers during the 2019-20 bushfires and 2020 COVID-19 crisis will be an enduring and eye-catching feature of Yarram’s Memorial Gardens thanks to a gift from Victoria’s governor formally handed over on Thursday last week.

Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau unveiled a plaque to commemorate the permanent installation of the mural the governor and her husband Anthony Howard commissioned Melbourne-based Heesco Khosnaran to produce as a gesture of thanks to those who had supported the Victorian community through the 2019-20 summer bushfires and then through the pandemic.

After a period on public display at Government House, the mural has been donated to the Friends of Heesco Town, at the request of Heesco, for installation in Yarram’s Memorial Gardens.

Following a Welcome to Country by Gunnaikurnai elder Uncle Lloyd Hood, Friends of Heesco Town president Wayne Tyndall welcomed a gathering of some hundreds of locals to the ceremony, outlining the development of the project, which has resulted in Yarram’s streetscape and buildings being enhanced with murals created by the world- renowned silo and street artist Heesco Khosnaran.

Mr Tyndall explained how an offer from local farmer Eric

Greenaway to underwrite the project of painting 10 murals on private business buildings, on the understanding he would still be able to park his car outside Mr Tindall’s Bull Bar and Gallery, kick-started the venture.

With support from Wellington Shire Council in printing maps and extensive coverage on grey nomad websites, in caravan magazines and tourist guides and on the ABC, the murals have resulted in a massive influx of visitors to Yarram.

“To cut a long story short, the building owners agreed, Eric underwrote it, I designed the murals for the wall owners ... Heesco arrived and did his magic,” he said.

“Today there are well over 20 murals to make up Heesco Town ... and the community has gotten behind it. It has gone viral right around the world.”

Mr Tyndall pointed out Heesco Town recently won the gold award as the best street art trail in Australia.

“But there is a downside and I am sorry to say there are many days Eric Greenaway is unable to get a car park these days,” he said.

Artist Heesco explained that during his youth in Mongolia in the 1980s he would never have envisaged his life in Australia.

“It is surreal to be standing here. If someone had come up to me and said that one day I would be living in Australia and painting silos, and have a town nicknamed after me, I don’t think I would have believed a word of it,” he said.

The governor was escorted on a tour of the town’s murals by the Friends of Heesco Town.

GIPPSLANDERS are being invited to have their say on how the Wildlife Act 1975 can be updated to better protect native animals.

Following several high profile wildlife cruelty cases in recent years, including the deliberate poisoning of more than 400 Wedge-tailed eagles at a farm in east Gippsland, an Victoria independent expert panel appointed to review the act is calling for public submissions to ensure the revised act is fit for purpose and in line with Victorians’ values and expectations.

The act, which protects and conserves wildlife, has not been reviewed since it became law more than 45 years ago.

The panel, chaired by Dr Deborah Peterson, was established in December by state Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily

D’Ambrosio.

The review will consider the objectives and scope of the act to ensure it provides a comprehensive, best practice legal and regulatory framework to achieve its objectives of protecting wildlife.

The review will also consider whether the act recognises and protects the rights and interests of Traditional Owners and Aboriginal Victorians and their role in decision making related to wildlife.

The panel will also look at the best ways to encourage compliance with the act and whether offences and penalties are appropriate. This follows community outrage over recent instances of illegal poisoning of Wedge-tailed eagles and an incident involving injured and starving koalas.

Victorians can provide their views by visiting engage.vic.gov.

Panel member, Associate Professor Ngaio Beausoleil, said when the act was enacted more than 45 years ago, Victorians’ values and expectations about wildlife were most likely different from those held today.

“It is critical the act be consistent with broadly-held community values and aspirations for wildlife in Victoria,” he said.

Another member, Emeritus Professor Arie Freiberg, said the community had expressed concern about the sentences imposed for some offences, and the review would consider whether the act’s enforcement and compliance mechanism were adequate.

Study supports call to retain native timber industry: Bull

Driver flips in front of a ‘slow down stupid’ sign State Nationals MPs Tim Bull, Peter Walsh and Melina Bath with timber workers in Orbost, a town which will be severely affected by the state government’s plans to end the native timber industry by 2030. increasing, and in fact Planet Ark is telling us to use it as wood is a renewable environmentally friendly resource — but here we are closing it down with no replacement.

“It will only drive up imports from jurisdictions with less oversight.

“This is about closing down an entire sector with massive job losses in our community at a time when it needs help and support.

“The industry in Victoria cuts down four trees in every 10,000 per year.”

Wellington Shire Council has requested the state government share the data and scientific basis on which the native timber phase-out decision was made.

The council’s Native Timber Taskforce has lodged two freedom of information requests to the

Agriculture, Resources and Regional Development Minister and the Premier requesting information about the scientific basis for its decision. The request has twice been refused.

Council has also sought greater detail from state government officials about the transition from the harvesting of native hardwood forests to hardwood plantations.

The taskforce wants the government to ensure more hardwood plantations are established with suitable species, to ensure long-term wood supply needs are met and jobs are maintained.

It also wants adequate government support for communities affected by the decision to end native timber harvesting, and wants the government

to work with communities to identify and implement job creation schemes in new and existing industries.

The taskforce has added it “does not support the import of hardwood from non-certified overseas sources that generally have lower compliance standards”.

The state government plans to end timber harvesting in native forests in Victoria by 2030, and has announced a $120 million package which it says will support workers, businesses and communities during the transition.

For workers, it will include training and re-training programs; case management and employment help; additional support through the Back to Work program; and top-ups to redundancy payments.

Support organisation agrees to back-pay staff more than $1.5m A NOT-for-profit mental health and disability support organisation with branches in Gippsland will back-pay staff more than $1.5 million after entering into an enforceable undertaking with the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Wellways Australia Limited first self-reported underpayments to the workplace regulator in September last year.

After being prompted by an external review of its payroll function and a pay query by an employee, Wellways discovered it had underpaid more than 500 current and former employees’ entitlements under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 between 2014 and 2020.

Underpaid employees were located

across Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania and include some full-time, part-time and casual employees.

Affected employees included workers in Wellways’ Supported Independent Living Program, staff in its disability and specialist mental health programs, and other staff including coordinators, customer service officers and team leaders.

The underpayments were the result of Wellways not having adequate payment systems and processes in place and not fully understanding its obligations under the award.

Staff were underpaid minimum entitlements as a result of Wellways incorrectly classifying them or failing to progress them, when eligible, from one pay-point to the next. Employees

performing sleep-over shifts were underpaid overtime entitlements and night shift penalties.

Wellways has begun back-payments and the enforceable undertaking requires it to calculate and back-pay entitlements for all affected employees, plus pay superannuation and interest, by June 30, 2021.As of April 21 this year,Wellways had back paid a total of $537,551 to 335 staff.

Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said Wellways had demonstrated a strong commitment to rectifying all underpayments.

“Under the enforceable undertaking, Wellways has committed to implementing stringent measures to protect the rights of its workforce,” she said.

“These measures include engaging

an independent auditor to check its compliance with workplace laws over the next two years,” she said.

“This matter demonstrates how important it is for employers to be aware of every lawful entitlement they must pay their employees.

“Companies need to perform regular payroll checks and ensure that they are correctly classifying their employees.

“Any employer who needs help meeting their workplace obligations should contact the Fair Work Ombudsman for free advice.”

Wellways must also display workplace notices detailing its workplace law breaches, apologise to workers and provide the Fair Work Ombudsman with information about the new processes it has implemented for ensuring compliance in future.

A 27-YEAR-old Yarram man was lucky to escape serious injury when the utility he was driving flipped in front of a ‘slow down stupid’ sign on the South Gippsland Highway near Yarram.

Police said the accident happened about midnight on Sunday, April 18, when the man lost control of the white Toyota ute he was driving, the vehicle flipping and coming to rest on its roof.

Police are investigating, and the driver is helping them with inquiries.

CLAIMS the ending of the native timber industry in Victoria will have a a massive effect on local employment and the local economy, has renewed calls for the government to overturn its decision.

A specialist economic impact consultatant engaged by the Wellington and East Gippsland shire councils estimated 1110 job losses (527 direct jobs, plus 325 supply chain and 268 consumption jobs), and more than $300 million in annual economic output could be lost in the region when native timber harvesting ended in 2030.

Gippsland East MLA Tim Bull said the figures released last week were “staggering”.

“And does not include the flow-on effects that will simply destroy communities like Orbost and Heyfield and impact heavily on many others,” Mr Bull said.

“I commend the two councils for taking this action and getting this work done.

“I now look forward to them challenging the state to overturn its decision to end the industry, which is the policy of the Liberal Nationals.”

Mr Bull said the release of this report came on the back of the Labor minister admitting there were no hardwood plantations in Victoria for the industry to transition to.

He described the term ‘transition’ as“a falsity”.

“The reality is hardwood takes around 30 to 60 years to mature depending on species and conditions, so if there was to be a ‘transition’, coupes would need to be at least 20 years old now,” Mr Bull said.

“They aren’t — and worse still — they don’t exist.

“The demand for hardwood is

Mine fire causes ‘major interruptions’ across Morwell schools, study finds

NEW data has found the Hazelwood mine fire in February 2014 caused “major academic interruptions” across Morwell’s schools.

Attempting to understand the psychological effect of the fire on school-aged children, the Hazelwood Health Study used NAPLAN data from 2008 to 2018 to examine whether mine fire-related disruption affected educational outcomes for Morwell’s students.

According to the results, in the year following the fire, students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 from Morwell schools highly exposed to the Hazelwood mine fire suffered an interruption which equated to a three to four-month delay in educational attainment — which had not fully recovered several years later.

The analysis compared school-level data from 69 primary and secondary schools — from highly exposed schools in Morwell, to moderately exposed schools in the rest of the Latrobe Valley, and schools in Wellington Shire which had little or no exposure to the smoke event.

The analysis took into consideration differences in school profile, including socioeconomic status, school size, gender ratio and school sector (government vs non-government), as well as grade level and longer term trends in NAPLAN. The study’s co-principal investigator for Gippsland and lead researcher, Dr Matthew Carroll, said evaluating the effects of a disaster on children was challenging as often there wasn’t a pre-disaster baseline measure.

“However, with the NAPLAN data available before and after the fire we were able to see the shift in academic performance,” he said.

“The results suggest that a communitywide traumatic event can have considerable and enduring educational impacts on school children.

“The findings highlight the need to provide educational and community-based supports in response to future events.”

Planning for fuel reduction burns needs to be smarter Philip Hopkins

THE threat of climate change means that forest management must become much cleverer in determining when to do fuel reduction burning, according to a senior Gippsland fire expert.

Garry Squires, a former Gippsland forest manager who is now a consultant, said there was a lot of talk about climate change and the reduced window of opportunity for burning.

“The climate change issue means we must be smarter in finding that window of opportunity,” he said, citing one example.

“If you are going to burn in March and things are drier than they used to be, then instead of lighting at two o’clock in the afternoon you light at four o’clock in the afternoon.”

Mr Squires was addressing a group tour of east Gippsland’s forests which were burnt in the huge 2019-20 bushfires. The group consisted of architects and builders, forest growers, community activists and fire managers.

The tour was organised by the Institute of Foresters of Australia/ Australian Forest Growers, which regards the fuel reduction lessons from east Gippsland as relevant to the native forests in the rest of Gippsland, the state’s north-east and Yarra Valley.

The group stopped at one patch of state forest near Orbost that had had regular fuel reduction, the last burn about six years ago. The understorey was mainly grasses and low shrubs between the tall, straight trees, which were clearly visible.

It was cited as an ideal example of the benefits of fuel reduction. This was compared to some long unburnt private property in the area that had a heavy understorey shrub layer.

Mr Squires said this fuel reduction

A Gippsland fire expert says climate change should alter the way fuel reduction burning is planned. site could easily have a burn — a being “smart and adaptable” to burn regular cool burn — every two, three in winter. or four years.

“The local staff must have the ability “This will be very easy to burn; you to make the decision on the spot and could have low key fire today (two burn when they know conditions are weeks after Easter),” he said. right,” he said, without going through However, universally — in east layers of bureaucracy.

“To me, that’s part of the change in “The summer crew go off about that thinking that DELWP (Department time and so they are down to smaller of Environment, Lands, Water and staffing,” he said.

Planning) have to have about widening “But you only need a couple of people the window of opportunity in what is in to do this burning, two people to light up many people’s eyes a changing climate kilometres and kilometres of ridge tops. that’s making it drier.”

“It’s just a matter of changing thinkMr Squires said it was a matter of ing, in my view.”

Mr Squires said the influx of tourists at Easter was another reason for not doing fuel reduction burns.

“It’s a safety issue,” he said.

Some summer crew were kept on a bit longer, while other staff undertook training in winter.

However, as the native timber industry closed down, Mr Squires said a challenge would be whether DELWP increased staffing levels in general to do the forest management work. This would include the roads that VicForests managed.

“About 20 per cent of road network in east Gippsland is maintained through funds generated by VicForests at the moment,” he said.

“When they close down logging, extra money will have to go into DELWP just to cover that change. There must be more money go into forest management.”

Mr Squires said there were problems about the window of opportunity where there was heavy shrub undergrowth.

“It’s damp under the scrub and difficult to burn,” he said.

University of Melbourne Professor Rod Keenan, who is chairman of the IFA’s Victorian division and who helped coordinate the tour, said more ‘cool’ fires and active management of the forests were needed.

“In doing so, we need to learn from and work more closely with the local Gunaikurnai people in using fire in the landscape,” he said.

Wider use of cultural burns could reduce fire risks, improve biodiversity and restore connections between people and country.

“This can have significant social and mental health benefits, help with recovery from fires and build resilience in people and forests to future wildfire events,” Professor Keenan said.

A woman murdered every week:

Wellington shining a light on domestic violence

WELLINGTON Shire will ‘turn purple’ tomorrow, joining communities across Victoria to remember the many women and children who have died as a result of domestic violence.

Sale landmarks such as The Wedge and the Clocktower will be illuminated in purple light as part of Victoria’s annual candlelight vigil, along with Quantum offices in Sale, Warragul, Morwell and Bairnsdale, Loy Yang and Yallourn power stations, West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul and the Big Cigar, Churchill.

The vigil marks the first week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Chief executive of Safe Steps,Victoria’s 24/7 family violence response centre, Rita Butera, said the vigil acknowledged lives lost, and the devastating effects of family violence and domestic abuse.

In Australia, one woman is murdered every week by her current or former partner.

On any given night in Victoria, 104 women and children experiencing family violence will be in protective hiding through Safe Steps.

A Safe Steps spokesperson said Gippsland was represented highly in the most recent crime statistics, making the awareness of services available to locals even more important.

“This is an evening for mourning, for remembering the devastating loss of so many women and children to family violence,” Ms Butera said.

“I hope it also serves as a reminder that we must do everything in our power to end this trauma, together.

“If you feel unsafe at home, or are worried about someone else’s safety, please contact us.

“There is help for those experiencing family and domestic violence, regardless of where you are located.”

Flinders Street Station, the Melbourne Town Hall, Bolte Bridge, the Sound Tunnel, the Melbourne Star are among the urban monuments that will be lit up in purple to mark the night of the vigil.

People can register to watch the online candlelight vigil from 6pm on Wednesday, May 5, at bit. ly/lightacandle2021

People are also invited to take a photo at the Clocktower or The Wedge and share on social media platforms using #lightacandle2021 and #EndDV People experiencing family violence can phone Safe Steps on 1800 015 188 or visit safesteps@ safesteps.org.au

Rural Councils Victoria concerned about camping regulations RURAL Councils Victoria has joined the growing opposition to proposed camping regulations that will allow public access to licensed river frontage.

It has written to the state government outlining why rural councils can’t support changes to the state’s land regulations that would allow access to rivers via private farmland and camping for up to 28 days.

It is calling for a review of the proposed regulations.

The Victorian Farmers Federation is also calling for a review of the proposal, and has suggested a registration system be included to give protection and security to land holders.

The regulations are due to take effect from September 1, but the Rural Councils Victoria has told the government that the proposed regulations do not adequately protect the environment, farm biosecurity, landholder privacy and public safety.

The organisation’s chairman, Mary-Ann Brown, said while applauding the government’s aim of helping Victorians spend time together in the outdoors, Rural Councils Victoria could not support the proposed regulations in their current form.

“Rural Councils Victoria is opposed to the changes for variety of very serious reasons, including biohazards, faeces in rivers and soil, bushfires, danger to the lives of emergency services workers and the risk to the lives of campers themselves,” Ms Brown said.

“Rural Victoria has many fabulous destinations, including many fine parks, caravan parks and existing Crown Land camping areas that have many or all of the necessary amenities, but may be in need of resourcing and repair.

“With proper maintenance and funding, these sites could be rendered broadly safe, and would be used more frequently.

“These sites would be known to emergency services as locations for campers and other holiday makers.

“Safety — for the public, landholders, wildlife, pets and those in fire-prone areas — are the key reasons to encourage the use of these camping sites rather than river frontages on private land, which

“Rural Councils Victoria believes that a review of the regulations should be carried out no later than 12 months after the regulations come into effect; that the review should include genuine community consultation.

“The regulations as they stand do not adequately protect the environment, farm biosecurity, landBunions are enlargements of bone on holder privacy and public safety.”

Thousands of women missing out on breast screening, says Opposition

THE state Opposition claims cuts to the breast screening service in Victoria has led to thousands of women missing out on preventative screening.

Eastern Victoria Region MLC Melina Bath said the Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee revealed the state government would only fund 20,000 breast screens, leaving 29,000 Victorian women without access to the service.

The Nationals member said funding cuts to preventative health pre-COVID, followed by pandemic restrictions and lockdowns, resulted in 49,000 Victorian women missing out on breast screening.

Ms Bath said it was imperative Labor’s cuts to breast screening services were reversed so all women who needed breast screens could access them.

“We know that preventative health is vitally important when it comes to early diagnosis and maximising the success of treatment, taking the pressure off families and our health system,” she said.

“Access to health care in regional communities is difficult enough without the Andrews government restricting funding to the most common cancer affecting Victorian women.”

About 17,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Australia, and breast screening is recognised as the best way to detect cancers early, before it can be seen or felt.

Ms Bath said organisations like BreastScreen, the Australian Cancer Council and Jane McGrath Foundation had spent many decades educating women on the importance of breast screening.

“It is widely accepted most breast cancers can be successful treated, requiring less invasive medical intervention, if detected early,” Ms Bath said.

“Cutting the funding to Victoria’s Health Protection services is false economy and flies in the face of the Andrews government rhetoric around coronavirus which centres around saving lives.”

Ms Bath said a petition calling for funding to meet the 29,000 breast screening shortfall has been launched by the Nationals and Liberals.

“Victorians who want to lodge their support are encouraged to sign the petition and add their voice to the campaign to see Labor reverse its decision to cut women’s health funding.”

The state government was approached for comment, but has not responded.

What are

BUNIONS?

the inside of the first toe joint. Contrary to what many people think, bunions are not caused by shoes. They are actually caused by overpronation and are a progressive deformity.

You don t just wake up one morning and there it is.

How fast it develops depends on the amount of excess foot motion a person is born with. The area will often become painful and red.

The highly qualified Podiatrists at The Foot and Ankle Clinic can assist with care and treatment of bunions as well as referrals for Bunion Surgery.

Letters to the editor From Yvonne Martin, Sale: WITH reference to of Bob Hammill’s letter, (Gippsland Times 20/4), I agree that finding a park in Raymond St is horrendous — but I disagree with his statement that you can’t create any more.

Several years ago there used to be four disabled parking bays at the northern end, two outside Cheap As Chips and two outside Umart.

Council disposed of two and created a walkway from one side to the other.

I am not au fait with regulations, but these walkways seem extraordinarily wide for the amount of actual walkway provided and, from by observations, not many people use them — preferring to walk between cars and cross closer to where they are shopping.

I did a quick approximate count of available parking in both north and south Raymond St. I did not include any parking in the shared section in the middle.

On the southern end of Raymond St, from Macalister to Cunninghame, there are 81 parking places, including five disabled bays and one loading bay.

On the northern end, between Macarthur and Cunninghame Sts, there are 77 parking spaces, including only two disabled bays and two large loading bays.

Maybe the people shopping in the northern area are not as disabled as those shopping in the south.

My thought was to do away with the two loading bays on the northern end and create more passenger vehicle parking.

These loading bays are very much under-used and, with cars circling like sharks looking for parks, could be much better utilised.

From my observations, all the shops serviced by these loading bays have access at the rear.

Why can’t deliveries be made to the back of these shops and more customer parking be provided?

The loading bay outside the former Crown Hotel in Sale (the ‘black pub’) was understandable because kegs would be delivered straight to the cellar, but the business now in this establishment doesn’t even have an entry off Raymond St. The northern end of Raymond St is woefully short of disabled parking The whole area is woefully short of any type of parking, but I believe my idea would create half a dozen, maybe more, new parking spaces where they are desperately needed.

Thanks for support of Anzac Day From Marty Tanzer, president, Sale RSL:

ON behalf of the members of the Sale RSL and Community Sub-Branch, I would like to pass on our thanks to the people of Sale for their attendance at the Sale Anzac Day commemorations.

It was fantastic to see the large numbers who turned out for the march and the main commemoration service.

It was great to see many veterans, RSL

members and family members at the RSL Club enjoying fellowship after the services.

Also, thank you to everyone who registered at events on the day to help us meet state government COVID requirements.

Newer estates will bring future problems From Bob Hammill, Sale: JUST recently I was driving around one of Wellington Shire’s newer housing estates.

Hundreds of houses, a tiny kids’ playground and one open space, obviously flood prone, out near the entrance.

Moving onto another housing estate, it was much the same.

Hundreds of houses, all built close together and a ‘wetlands’ which is little more than an open drain with bulrushes and about 10 square metres of open water.

These estates are typical of those springing up around the shire.

For those with young families, the new estates are probably ideal, but in 10 years’ time, they’ll be a disaster.

With no facilities or parks to play and burn off excess energy, teenagers in these estates will have nothing more to do than roam the streets and become involved in petty crime.

A few years later, when those same teenagers buy their first car, most houses will have cars and possibly a caravan parked on the front lawn.

That’s poor town planning, and those involved (past and present) should hang their head in shame.

As I’ve said in previous letters, I think those involved in the approval processes for the estates have raised the white flag to developers.

They’ve given them everything they’ve asked for, and asked nothing in return.

It hardly seems fair.

Council gets conned, developers and estate agents line their pockets with silver, but residents in those estates pay the price in the years to come.

Concerns over pool, parking and wasps From Geri Carter, Sale: SEVERAL times recently I have seen Wellington Shire Council surveys seeking our voices for future direction.

There’s talk of turning the Port of Sale into a tourist mecca.

Let’s hope those same tourists don’t visit our local indoor pool. It is a disgrace.

The edging has been siliconed in more than once and is still wobbly.

Recently there was a pile of tiles (loose) on the floor of the middle lane. Actually there’s always loose tiles at the bottom of the pool.

The benefits of a pool to society are immense — fitness, rehab, family fun, sport and competition and education.

Why is this not a priority for council?

There is also a wasp invasion in the area.

The wasps are also in our roof cavity. They’re in the wall of the house behind us. They’re

everywhere.

Then there’s the car parks.

We are a rural community. People drive large vehicles.

Several times recently I have had to get to my driver’s seat via the passenger door because I’m blocked in by the car next to me.

And it’s not always the driver’s fault. It’s often the car parks designed for matchbox cars.

I keep thinking about updating my car, but I’m sticking to the old gas guzzler because it’s already full of dints from neighbouring car doors because of car parks that are too small for today’s average vehicle.

Council, if you care about your constituents, forget the fanciful tourist mecca, forget the surveys, think about the health and wellbeing of our community in its current state.

Update the crumbling facilities you already have, save us from the wasps, and for goodness sake build bigger car parks.

superbly. Thanks to you, David and your team for helping make a difference.

Don’t forget about boys in sport From Ness Noble, Maffra: IN the days of gender equality, have we forgotten about the male gender?

I have been searching for funding or a grant to help my 13-year-old son in his chosen sport.

The club he belongs to offers him four hours of training a week, while the girls at his age and level are offered 8.5 hours a week.

As he is the only boy training at his level, understandably the club cannot see financial viability in coaching one-on-one, and combining him with the girls seems too difficult.

Hence why I am looking for funding.

I don’t want him to regress in his skills.

When speaking to Sports and Recreation Victoria about available grants, they informed me that there was a grant that could suit called ‘Gender Equality in Victorian Sport and Recreation Pilot Program’.

Looking further into the selection for this, we found my son not eligible.

Why? He is a boy.

Article helps to get the message out From Brad McEwan, Beyond Blue ambassador: JUST passing on some positive feedback after reading David Braithwaite’s piece (Gippsland Times 27/4 .

I think David absolutely nailed it.

The game between Stratford and BoisdaleBriagolong was great, the message and statement about mental health was everything.

Both clubs and the wider community did a wonderful job putting together a really powerful event on what was, no doubt, an emotional and difficult day for Lachlan Heywood’s family and friends.

Gld dementia survey DEMENTIA sufferers in Gippsland often do not have their needs met, despite dementia being the second most common cause of death for Gippsland’s women, according to survey findings.

A project which aims to learn more about dementia in Gippsland is being undertaken by Gippsland Primary Health Network and Monash University.

Phase two of the project includes a survey that uses the information from interviews conducted during the first phase of the project in 2020.

G i p p s l a n d P H N ch i e f executive Amanda Proposch said the findings from last year’s interviews highlighted that people with dementia in

Gippsland often did not have their needs met.

“That’s why studies like this one are so important,” Ms Proposch explained.

“The role of Gippsland PHN is to work to improve the health and wellbeing of people across Gippsland and we use data and information, like from this dementia project, to learn what is most needed to do that.”

In Gippsland, dementia is the second most common cause of death for women and the sixth most common cause of death for men.

It is estimated about 6000 people are currently living with dementia, and that is expected to rise to about 22,000 people by 2050.

“Throughout this dementia

project, Gippsland PHN is working with Monash University to improve our understanding of what it is like to live with dementia in Gippsland,” Ms Proposch said.

“The information gathered will be used by Gippsland PHN to help us make better decisions about how the health needs of people in Gippsland can be addressed by working with our partners to improve access to needed services and supports.”

To access the survey and to read the summary findings from phase one of the dementia project, visit www.gphn.org.au/ tell-gippsland-phn

Women are invited to try out Probus

SALE Ladies Probus Club is inviting women to go along to a meeting to see whether Probus is right for them.

At a recent meeting, a vote was taken to continue the club for another year to rebuild, and president Sheila Barnsley extended an open invitation to women aged over 55, to go along alone or with a friend to give Probus a try.

Probus is about friendship and fun in retirement.

It provides the opportunity to regularly meet with fellow retirees, listen to interesting speakers and join together in activities, in the company of new friends.

The meetings begin with the reading of the minutes, followed by the reports and notices.

After the president has closed the proceedings, morning tea is served and a speaker talks on a local issue.

Interested people can seek more information on the Probus website, www. probussouthpacific.org, or by emailing Ms Barnsley via sheilabarnsley40@gmail.com Alternatively, people can attend any of the Probus meetings, held on the fourth Monday of the month from 10am at the Graze Bistro, Sale Greyhound Club.

Antique valuations

ROSEDALE RSL will host an antiques roadshow this month on May 16.

A Sale doctor says if the findings of a Tasmanian study were applied to Gippsland, then it was possible about 27 Gippslanders were dying each year as a result of exposure to wood heater smoke. protecting residents (as they should), by monitoring air quality, and supporting change.

“There are much cleaner ways of heating homes which increasingly use renewable energy.

“I hope we can all work on ways of reducing the damage done by wood heaters to our community’s health.”

The rising cost of firewood is also making wood heating expensive and no longer a cheap option, Dr Phair said.

In the ACT, the Wood Heater Replacement Program provides an incentive for ACT residents to replace wood heaters or open fireplaces with energy-efficient reverse cycle air-conditioners, but last year the Victorian government ruled a buy-back scheme out, saying it was strengthening Victoria’s environmental protections to give EPA more powers to prevent air pollution.

A study by the Environment Protection Authority in 2017 found an increase in days exceeding air quality standards was mostly attributed to urban sources, “such as wood fire heaters”.

An EPA spokesman said while the impact of a single wood heater may be small, the cumulative impact on air quality, particularly through autumn and winter, was significant.

The authority recommends that householders understand how their heater operates, use appropriate fuel and have the heater cleaned and checked regularly to prevent unnecessary smoke.

It also advises never to burn household rubbish, driftwood, treated wood or painted wood, which can pollute the air and produce toxic gases.

The Firewood Association of Australia says as long as wood heater users operate their heaters responsibly and do not emit large amounts of smoke, there is no reason they can not be safely used.

Dr Phair has made a submission to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Health Impacts of air pollution.

The deadline for submissions was last week, and a final report is due to be presented to parliament in late August.

A SALE doctor who says wood heaters can be as dangerous as passive smoking is calling for a combined government and industry approach to protect residents from air pollution.

Throughout Gippsland thousands of homes use wood heaters, with many in isolated areas relying on them as their only form of heating.

Bur local GP anaesthetist and Rural Doctors Association of Victoria president Rob Phair said it was a well-established fact domestic wood burning harmed health, and in particular the health of the most vulnerable community members — pregnant women, the very young, the very old, and people with underlying health problems.

“The bushfires of 2020-21, which resulted in an estimated 400-plus deaths in south-eastern Australia, drew more attention to the hazardous effects of wood smoke,” Dr Phair said.

“Breathing in wood smoke is comparable to passive smoking.

“It contains fine particles called PM2.5 which are 40 times smaller than a grain of sand, and invisible to the human eye.

“They are so small that they can be inhaled deep into the respiratory system, cross into the bloodstream and move around the body, affecting every organ.

“Breathing in wood smoke and PM2.5 can worsen asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and is associated with heart attacks, strokes, dementia, diabetes, and premature death”.

And according to the federal Health Department, some pollutants from wood heater smoke, such as particles and formaldehyde, are carcinogenic, with chronic exposure having the potential to cause certain cancers.

A study in Tasmania in 2020 found domestic wood heaters caused 51 deaths every year.

Dr Phair said the numbers were likely to be similar in Gippsland, meaning that 27 Gippslanders died every year because of wood heater pollution.

Despite the facts on the risks associated with wood heaters, domestic wood burning is effectively unregulated in Victoria and Australia.

In Gippsland, domestic wood burning has the biggest impact in towns such as Heyfield, which is in a valley, Orbost and Bairnsdale, and much less impact on big properties where the nearest neighbours live several kilometres away.

Along with the state government and Environment Protection Authority Victoria, local councils have responsibilities for protecting communities from environmental health hazards.

The Rural Doctors Association of Victoria is urging all levels of government to make tough decisions on wood heaters, just as smoking was banned in public places because of the health effects.

“It’s a big challenge, but Gippslanders could rethink attitudes to wood heaters as well,” Dr Phair said.

“Local and state governments could help by

ENTRANCING Others brings together an impressive group of artists to celebrate printmaking at Gippsland Art Gallery Sale.

For this exhibition, each artist was asked to create a new work exploring the theme of the endlessly fascinating animal (human and/or non-human), through the medium of printmaking.

By investigating the theme via linocut and woodcut, etching, aquatint and mezzotint, lithography, screenprint and digital imagery, this selection of works beautifully illustrates the distinct qualities of a range of printmaking techniques.

The artists in the exhibition represent a cross section of established and emerging practitioners from around Australia, and have manifested a uniquely intriguing representation of what it is about the animal that entrances.

Each of the artists has donated print number 44/44 from their edition to the Gippsland Art Gallery collection.

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 AS part of the VCAL program at 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 will be made into beetroot relish which the VCAL class will sell, along with tomato sauce, tomato relish and green tomato pickles, using heirloom tomatoes the students grew.

The students will also sell organically-grown vegetable seeds they harvested from their garden.

Last year, students grew a multi-coloured corn and a blue-green corn, which they have bagged up and are selling 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 have 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

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 indigenous Australian flora have been planted.

The school will officially open the frog bog and bush tucker garden this Friday at 11.30 am.

People interested in having a look at the work of the VCAL class must register by phoning the school on 5144 5644.

File photo IN just a few days Gippslanders will once again come together on Mother’s Day to celebrate and honour those affected by breast cancer and raise money for breast cancer research.

Spots are filling fast for the Mother’s Day Classic Gippsland locations at Bairnsdale, TraralgonToongabbie and Wonthaggi.

There are 75 locations nationwide where people can join others on a designated route in their local areas to walk, run or jog the Mother’s Day Classic this Sunday, May 9, and get active for breast cancer research.

Classic chief executive Zara Lawless said that because of the ever-changing climate and the restrictions on public gatherings, participation numbers would be capped at each location, so it was imperative people booked their spots and chose their locations before Mother’s Day. “These locations will be smaller in size and more informal than what we’ve hosted in the past, but they will all be big on community spirit,” she said.

Participants also have the option to take part in the Mother’s Day Classic on a day and time at a location that suits them.

“We are urging participants to book in their Mother’s Day Classic local location or indicate if they would like to do the walk, run or jog on their own day and time,” Ms Lawless said.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, and eight Australians die from it every day.

Getting active for breast cancer research can be a game-changer to the 55 Australian women who are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.

In the 24-year history of the Mother’s Day Classic, nearly 1.5 million people have participated.

The event has donated almost $38 million during the past 24 years to fund 76 breast cancer research projects.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation is Australia’s leading national body funding gamechanging breast cancer research, with money raised entirely by the Australian public.

It receives no government funding, so what it does would not be possible without the support and generosity of people and organisations.

Its mission is simple — stop deaths from breast cancer, by identifying, funding and championing world-class research.

This research aims to help detect tumours earlier, improve treatment outcomes, and ultimately, save lives.

To date, the foundation has raised more than $181 million to fund 557 world-class breast cancer research projects in Australia.

Mother’s Day Classic participants can visit mothersdayclassic.com.au to register for the fun run and walk and book their spot to join others this Sunday.

Local course information, distance options, event timing and frequently asked questions are all detailed at mothersdaysclassic.com.au

Harper Bicknell’s favourite person in the world is her mum Kate.

Mother’s Day is looming, and the Gippsland Times is giving readers the chance to have a photo of their mum published free in this Friday’s issue.

Just email a pic of you and your mum to news@ gippslandtimes.com.au with ‘My mum’ in the subject line.

Dads are also welcome to send in images with mum and younger children — and mums are welcome to send in selfies with their offspring.

We just need the first and surnames of everyone pictured (from left to right), the ages of children, and the town those pictured are from.

Feel free to include a line or two about what mum means to you — and please send in your images before 10am tomorrow.

We’ll try to get as many photos in as we can, but remember, publication is not guaranteed, so if you’d like to ensure your Mother’s Day message does make it into Friday’s issue, a paid classified is the way to go.

Email classifieds@gippslandtimes.com.au The deadline for Friday classifieds is 9.30am Thursday morning.

Saturday 8:30am till 3pm Sunday 8am till 1pm.

Sale Men’s Shed seeks new members

Being visually impaired doesn’t stop Sale Men’s Shed member Rolf Smyrek getting involved in making useful items for around the house. He is pictured with support worker Drew Wigg.

File photo

MEN looking for a welcoming environment with things of interest to do in an atmosphere of friendship are encouraged to consider joining the Sale Men’s Shed.

After a drop-off in numbers following COVID-19 disruptions and social distancing restrictions, the men’s shed is now a little low on members.

Retiring president John Duggan said it would be great to attract more participants to get more men out of their loungerooms and into the workshop, and so the shed could fully offer its building skills to local community groups.

Mr Duggan said members came from all walks of life, had time on their hands and wanted to stay active and be involved in something meaningful.

Participants can be involved in woodworking, wood turning, metalwork, welding, painting and gardening, and are encouraged to take along their own projects or just enjoy a yarn and a cuppa.

Sale Men’s Shed also works on projects for other groups in the community, and welcomes opportunities to build items with donated materials or for the cost of materials.

It also has a small library of trade reference books, computers and audio visual equipment to cater for the varying interests of its members, who are welcome to work on their own projects using shed equipment.

Mr Duggan said the shed activities gave many participants a sense of purpose and belonging, and for others was just a friendly space to get involved in making things or helping others.

He said concerns about health and wellbeing

were addressed through the year, with lectures presented by various health professionals.

People with disabilities are welcome, but must have a support worker qualified to operate the shed’s equipment.

Sight-impaired participant Rolf Smyrek, who has been a Sale Men’s Shed attendee for about three years, said he felt “useful” going to the shed.

Mr Smyrek has made a series of walking cane stands so he has one in every room of his house.

He has also made CD racks and dining and tool caddies.

With the help of his support worker, the former mechanic also makes and repairs batons for the local swish club, where sightimpaired people play a special form of table tennis.

“It gives me satisfaction to be doing something, instead of just sitting around at home now that I’m sight impaired,” he said.

Mr Duggan said the shed was particularly keen to welcome new members who might have a range of hands-on skills, as well as business, office and computer skills to help run the organisational side of things.

Sale Men’s Shed is a member of the Victorian Men’s Shed and Australian Men’s Shed associations.

Sale Men’s Shed opens Tuesdays,Thursdays and Fridays from 9am to 2pm, and is at 30 Desailly St. Cost is $3 per session and a yearly membership of $50.

For more information visit its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/salemens.shed.52 or phone 0419 150 620.

Kinder kids tour gallery, library

Tiles need an update?

Sale North Kindergarten children, families and teachers recently toured Gippsland Art Gallery and Sale Library. Children made bottle cards and filled small plastic bags with hair gel and glitter. They were taken around the gallery and introduced to some fascinating works of art.

The children also viewed their own exhibition in the children’s library.

Funding to build drought resilient landscapes THE federal government is investing $13.4 million in the Natural Resource Management Drought Resilience Program to help build more drought resilient landscapes.

Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management Minister David Littleproud said the NRM funding would enable farmer groups, agricultural businesses and organisations to adapt their practices and enhance their farming systems to increase drought resilience.

“These projects will provide transformational change to the way our agricultural landscapes are managed,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Grant recipients will use a variety of techniques such as rotational grazing, landscape rehydration

and increasing native ground cover to enliven the landscape naturally.

“The successful projects will also strengthen the connections between stakeholders, farmers and the community in their immediate region. They’ll do this through face-to-face workshops, field days and small group training sessions.

“This is a fundamental part of the Future Drought Fund program. We want to support innovative natural resource management practices and approaches to improve natural capital to contribute towards landscape scale drought resilience.

Fox and wild dog bounties LOCAL AL L Agr gri riculture i Victori ria i depots will accept entire fox scalps and entire wild dog body part rts t from eligi gible i people for money next month, as part of the Fox and Wild Dog Bounty progr gram. r Electronic funds transfer is the preferred method of payment.

The Maffra depot will collect fox scalps p and entire wild dog body parts on Wednesd d May 19, day, from 9am until 11am at 1 Stratford Rd, Maffra.

The Yarram centre, on Rodgers St, will collect fox scalps only on May 19 from 2pm until 4pm.

No fox scalps or wild dog body parts will be accepted at any public counter or state government offi fice, i and collections will only be accepted at the design gnated n times.

In Victoria, the dingo (Canis lupus dingo) is listed as a ‘threatened’ species under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988) and as a result is protected under the Wildlife Act (1975).

Free mental health training

A NEW tool has been created to help people with the tools and strategies needed to provide appropriate support to someone who’s feeling stressed or anxious.

People working in agriculture are used to multitasking and finding solutions to problems, but providing emotional support to a colleague or friend going through a tough time isn’t always easy.

Psychologist David Cherry has created the Occasional Counsellor, a program which equips people with strategies to provide appropriate support to someone who’s feeling stressed or anxious.

Mr Cherry, who has worked with the agriculture industry

for more than 25 years, said the training had become particularly useful this year because of the unusual challenges facing the industry.

Agriculture Victoria is providing free sessions of the Occasional Counsellor training for anyone who works in horticulture or interacts with people in the horticulture industry in the course of their work.

The session teaches simple skills about how to listen, how to reduce feelings of uncertainty and isolation and how to provide constructive support.

“It’s about encouraging someone who is experiencing stress to focus on goals, outcomes, interests or concerns

as opposed to feelings,” Mr Cherry says.

“This helps them look at the present and then into the future, rather than focusing on the past.”

The sessions help people identify issues beyond their responsibility and control and learn how to be comfortable with this, as well as when they should refer people to professional help.

The free three-hour webinar training sessions are on Monday, May,17, from 1pm until 4pm, and Thursday, June 3, from 10am until 1pm.

Demonstration farm update

THE time and place to assess management and the grass growth resulting from it is in the paddock that is about to be grazed, while setting the electric fence.

Both jobs require skill and knowledge, and it’s convenient to do one essential job while doing another.

At this point, the paddock has done the job required of it, over the period since it was last harvested.

The previous grazing residue (may have been topped), the fertiliser applied, the fast water application and drainage, and the time rested, have all set the paddock up for that night’s harvest of high quantity and quality grass.

Is it green leafy ryegrass and clover at wrist height, with a residue of two-knuckles height underneath, from fence to fence?

Maybe there are patches that have not performed well.

The reason for any lack of performance needs

to be understood and fixed for the next grazing. A dairy farm’s profitability depends on not having underperforming patches.

At the Macalister Demonstration Farm, paddock 13b will be grazed soon. It is currently 30 days rested, at two leaves regrown, (typical leaf appearance rate for late April), is Matrix ryegrass, and soil moisture is currently okay.

It is mostly dark green leafy ryegrass, but some pale green/yellowish patches, almost no weeds.

Most patches are wrist height, but some only mid-palm. The residue underneath is variable between two knuckles and mid-palm.

These practical/visual assessments of paddock 13b’s quantity equate to 900 kilograms of dry matter per hectare available, which is a growth rate over the growing period of 30kg DM/ha/day.

This visual assessment of one paddock’s quantity matches with the average calculated consumption over the whole farm in the table.

Registration for waterfront campers proposed by VFF Eastern Victoria MLC Melina Bath and cattlemen Will Paul and Dane Martin are among the voices calling on the state government to address complexities in licensed river frontage draft regulations.

“The draft regulations in their current format raise more questions than answers,” Ms Bath said.

“Questions relating to waste management, water quality, bushfire risk, vulnerable species, biosecurity, public liability and protection of stock need addressing.

“There will need to be some compromise by all parties to achieve an acceptable outcome.

“Looking specifically at the Macalister River system there needs to be consideration to ensure that public accessibility will not negatively impact on soil erosion, river bank stabilisation, native vegetation regeneration and water quality.

“Many landholders like Glenfalloch Station hold a genuine commitment to enhancing dynamic river ecosystems, and it is imperative that the Andrews government gets it right.”

State parliament recently passed amendments to the Land Act 1958 to remove the prohibition of camping on licensed river frontages, with the government creating consistent regulations for these licensed areas to support the changes.

The public can already lawfully access licensed river frontages for recreation such as fishing, hiking and picnicking.

The government maintains the consistency will help allow recreational users better understand what can and cannot occur when accessing these areas.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has drafted proposed regulations to govern the recreational use of Crown Land which has grazing licences and water frontage.

Public submissions on the draft regulations closed on Monday, and the government is aiming to allow for camping in appropriate areas from September 1.

Law firm marshalls+dent+wilmoth is lobbying the government on behalf of farmers concerned for their businesses to make some changes to proposed legislation to allow camping on Crown land near rivers.

To find out more information, or to work with marshalls+dent+wilmoth lawyers to develop a farm risk policy, phone the Benalla (or Melbourne, Mornington or Williamstown) office on 03 5746 4500, or visit www.mdlaw.com.au For more information about the proposed draft regulations, visit engage.vic.gov.au/ regulated-watercourse-land-regulations

Limited numbers of dead stock can be buried on a farm, providing the burial site does not negatively affect the land, surface or ground waters, or create odours.

To reduce environmental impacts, an on-farm burial site should be on elevated land, in lowpermeable soil, well above the water table and well away from water runoff and neighbouring houses.

The carcass should also be sufficiently covered with at least one metre of soil.

Personal safety should always be considered when constructing a pit.

If left in paddocks, dead stock can be a potential disease risk and could contaminate land and water.

Fertilizer ● Gypsum ● Lime

Agriculture Victoria provides a guide to disposing of dead stock after bushfires.

For more information, go to the disposing of carcasses after bushfire, flood or drought page on the Agriculture Victoria website.

The Environment Protection Authority has the power to penalise or fine a livestock owner or manager, who does not dispose of dead stock properly.

For more information, phone a local Agriculture Victoria veterinary or animal health officer or the EPA. — Agriculture Victoria district veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave

Disposing of dead livestock properly DEAD animals can be a risk to biosecurity and hazardous to the environment, so correct disposal is essential to ensure healthy, safe and productive farms.

The disposal methods required will depend on the size of the dead animal.

The disposal of a large animal like a horse or cow can be a logistical challenge.

The use of a knackery, rendering plant, or an appropriately licensed landfill may provide an option.

For a knackery to collect livestock, they generally insist the animal is a large animal, such as a cow or horse, and is alive or at the very least freshly deceased. If they are cattle, sheep or goats, they must have an NLIS ear tag affixed.

A FREE webinar this week will help farmers navigate climate change projections.

Australia’s national climate change projections website —the Climate Change in Australia website — has recently been refreshed to improve accessibility and searchability of the climate projections information.

The website now has new content, including pages on interpreting the future climate by the level of global warming, to help producers better understand their current and future climate risks.

In the webinar, research team leader John Clarke and research scientist Michael Grose from the CSIRO’s Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub will walk through the refreshed website.

The webinar will be held on Thursday from noon until 1pm.

For more information, including help joining the webinar, email climate.webinars@agriculture.vic.

THE Victorian Farmers Federation has called for a registration system for campers in its submission to the Victorian government’s proposed Regulated Watercourse Land Regulations.

The VFF’s submission outlined a need for a registration system for campers and outlined its concerns about “the strained relationship between farmers and government”.

Under new laws, campers will be able to access land through private properties (across government tracks).

But the VFF says for farmers who have licences to use these waterfronts for livestock grazing, the potential environmental, biosecurity and legal liability issues “are significant”.

The VFF initially opposed the legislative change, but recognising the will of the government to implement the new laws, has shifted its focus to protecting landholders, the sensitive riparian environment and the partnership between farmers and government that has existed since Landcare was formed.

Federation president Emma Germano said without a means to trace when campers arrived on properties and where they went, farmers and the authorities would have no way of knowing exactly where they have been and for how long.

“The government has already created an app that we think should include a registration function,” she said.

“Under the proposed rules, farmers will not be able to meet the traceability requirements under biosecurity quality assurance systems.

“We’re calling for a simple, easy-to-use registration system to be introduced to ensure a level of accountability from campers and easier enforcement of rules by authorities when issues arise.”

The federation also harbours concerns about the damage the process has inflicted to the Landcare partnership formed between farmers and the government.

“The VFF played a pivotal role in forming Landcare in the 1980s that has since dedicated an enormous amount of time improving the environmental health of Victoria’s riparian environments,” she said.

“There’s little doubt that poor consultation from government and the failure to listen to the concerns of landholders has seriously damaged this relationship.”

Eastern Victoria MLC Melina Bath has also voiced her concerns after a recent meeting with farmers at Glenfalloch Station, Licola, who will soon be faced with the task of managing public access on their licensed river frontages.

ASTILL, William Gilbert OAM As I said at your 90th birthday, I have admiration for your humility and your resilience. Perhaps some of that came with age, but much of it came with character. I'm very proud of my grandfather.

Rest peacefully Papa, your favourite/only granddaughter sends a dozen yo-yo biscuits and a quality double-scotch with you on your way.

Much love, Roxanne.

BAKER, Wayne Ian. Dad, I'll never forget all the memories we made together especially about that one day teaching me how to drive the wagon.

Sorry about that car. She was left with a very big dent after that. I know we didn't have the closest father/daughter relationship, very complex but you're still my Dad and I'll always love and miss you.

A low-scoring slog ensued for most of the match, with Sale City making the early running to lead by 13 points at the main break.

The Bulldogs could only manage a single behind in the third quarter, and went into the final change two points behind.

Sale City peppered the goals in the fourth term, but could only manage one goal from seven scoring shots.

A sense of déjà vu must have filtered through the Bulldogs’ camp, as their 7.16 (58) score line against Rosedale a fortnight earlier read eerily similar to their final score in this match.

On this day however, five goals and 16 behinds proved to be enough, and gave the parochial Stephenson Park ‘Deck Heads’ a result they are unlikely to forget.

In the eyes of many Sale City supporters, there was surely no better way to celebrate turning 50 than with a one-point win.

Michael Todd,Abe Schuback and Mitchell Evans stood out for the victors. Rowan Missen, Ben Mattern and Brett Waddell were best for Woodside.

HEYFIELD maintained top spot on the ladder with an easy win over Gormandale.

The Kangaroos kicked away to an early lead at Tigerland to win 30.16 (196) to 6.7 (43).

Liam Heasley sent through 11 majors, backing up his seven-goal effort last week. Still only a teenager, Heasley has taken to senior football with aplomb.

Nick Dowse and Brayden Woodland were also prominent.

Gormandale didn’t have a lot of winners on the day, but Jai Foulkes, Jack Burgess and cult hero John Chessells competed strongly.

FOR the second time in three weeks, two teams found themselves deadlocked when the final siren sounded, with Traralgon-Tyers United and Yarram unable to be separated.

Yarram had more scoring shots, but the Bombers kicked more goals in the 10.10 (70) to 11.4 (70) tie.

TTU players must have all walked under numerous ladders recently, as their last three games have ended in a draw, a six-point loss and a 10-point loss.

A high-scoring opening term at Tyers saw 10 goals kicked, with the home side taking the advantage at the first change of ends.

The Demons got on a run in the second, sending through five majors, but the Bombers held sway

with three of their own.

Defences ran tight after the main break, with no score added by either team in the third quarter.

TTU and Yarram fought to get over the line during the fourth quarter, but in the end there could be no winner, as the siren sounded and the teams shared the points.

Jayden Shea kicked three goals for the Demons, and was joined by Jack Weston and Griffin Underwood in the best players. Best for the Bombers were Mitch Mustoe, Jack Brown and Jayden Cutts, who took no shortcuts in a fourquarter effort.

YALLOURN-Yallourn North broke away from Glengarry after half-time to win 21.14 (140) to 5.6 (36) at the Magpies’ nest.

A competitive first half saw the Magpies go into the main break only 20 points down, but it was a different story from there on, as YYN slammed on 13 goals to none.

The Bombers came out and creamed their opponents in the third term. Glengarry did not score in the third quarter, and only added one miserly behind for the entire second half as the margin blew out close to three figures.

Dean MacDonald kicked another bag of goals, this time adding seven to his name, taking his total to 20 in just three games. Others to hit the scoreboard were Mitchell Luck (four) and Mannon Johnston (four), as well as Keenan Hughes who kicked three on return.

The quartet of forwards received good delivery from Jai Massese, who was given silver platter service from ruckman Campbell Staff, while the two Dylans, Bath and Bentley, also played well.

Jordan Symons, Dean Brooks and Michael Ryan put in honest efforts for Glengarry, with Andrew May kicking two goals.

CHURCHILL gave Cowwarr a 22.17 (149) to 8.3 (51) shellacking on its home deck.

Churchill piled on eight goals to one after halftime to take their lead further.

Eleven players hit the scoreboard for the Cougars, with Ben Kearns leading the way with five. Jake Roe-Duggan, Angus Mitchell and Michael Diaz were best in the win.

Ethan Kincaid-Shingles, Ben Coffey and Linden Brunt battled for the Saints, with Brunt and Ben Plozza kicking three goals.

ROSEDALE had the bye.

Bulldogs defeat Cats

David Braithwaite

STRATFORD moved to the top of the East Gippsland football ladder with a percentage-boosting victory over Lucknow on Saturday.

The Swans were ruthless at home, defeating the Magpies by 129 points, 20.17 (137) to 1.2 (8).

Six unanswered goals in the first term set the tone for the match. The Magpies’ only major came during the second term as the home side ended the first half leading by 62 points.

The carnage continued in the second half, as the Swans booted 10.9 to just two behinds.

Tim Hawkins booted 11 goals in a best-on-ground performance for the Swans, while teammate Rodney O’Keefe kicked four.

Brad White appeared free to roam off half-back, with Jackson Cottrell, Dylan Nikolajew and Gavin Bickery also damaging through the midfield.

Lincoln Toner put in another strong effort in the ruck.

Brodie Matthews and Dion Grace were the best of the Magpies.

BOISDALE-Briagolong opened its season account in style, defeating Wy Yung by 92 points at home.

The visiting Tigers led by seven points after a high-scoring opening term before the Bombers edged ahead during the second to lead by three points at the main break. From there, the Bombers dominated, kicking 14 unanswered goals in the second half to win 22.16 (148) to 8.8 (56).

Best-on-ground Jim Reeves kicked eight goals for the Bombers,Tom Huts was also prominent in booting four, while Brandon Rimington and Jarrad Nelson kicked three each.

Shaun Bates, Josh Granger, Patrick Mack and Nicoll Sandison also stood out for the Bombers, who moved into third place on the ladder with the percent-booting win.

Best for a disappointing Wy Yung were Luke Elia, Harry Kellow and Tom Betts.

ALONG with Stratford, Lakes Entrance is now the only other undefeated team.

The Seagulls defeated reigning premier Lindenow by 16 points.

After the Cats unfurled their 2019 premiership flag, the Seagulls led by five points at quarter-time, then booted five goals to one to lead by 26 at half-time. That margin served the visitors well, as the Cats out-scored the Seagulls 10 goals to eight in the second half, but went down 16.7 (103) to 13.9 (87).

Josh Piper and Ryan Marsden led the way for the Seagulls, with Tom Smith kicking four goals and Lucky Whelan three.

Lachlan Dumaresq kicked four majors for the Cats, with Todd Alexander and High McShane their best players.

ORBOST-Snowy Rovers defeated Paynesville to claim its first senior match since May 19, 2018.

The Blues won 22.14 (146) to 9.8 (62), with Hamish Nettleton kicking five goals and Ash Jonkers and Charles Solomon four each. Jack Herbert also stood-out.

Mitch Willmott was the best player for the Gulls, with Daniel Mowat kicking three goals.

Powerful Pies beat Gulls Liam Durkin

SALE was too strong for Warragul at home to maintain its undefeated start to the Gippsland League football season.

The Magpies led at every change, running out 13.19 (97) to 4.8 (32) victors.

A six-goal to one third quarter saw the margin out to beyond 50 points and put the game beyond doubt.

Jarrod Freeman kicked three goals for the winners in a solid performance. On-ballers Jack McLaren and Shannen Lange and half-back Mitch Dowse also played well, as did defender Luke Di Ciero against his old side.

Best for Warragul were ruckman Sam Whibley, Matt Ross and Sean Masterson.

The win keeps Sale undefeated and in second position, just behind Moe on percentage.

MAFFRA recorded its first win of the season, turning a four-point three-quarter-time deficit into a 36-point victory.

The visiting Eagles kicked seven goals to none in the final quarter to win 14.6 (90) to 7.12 (54).

Up until then it had been an arm wrestle, with neither side able to break away.

The Maroons looked to be in a position to register their second win of the season, but had to watch as Maffra took over.

The win was the Eagles’ first of the season, and in a remarkable show of how even the competition is in the early stages, took them from 10th to fifth. The win was their seventh consecutive over the Maroons Maffra forward Mitch Bennett led the scoring with four goals, while Ben Brunt kicked three.

The Carr brothers, Ed and Alex, were best afield, along with Danny Butcher and James Read back from injury.

For Traralgon, it was the younger brigade which stood tall, with Tye Hourigan, Jackson McMahon, Ewan Williams, Peter Strong and Tate Marsh among the best, as well as Matt Northe for another week.

Maffra had a debutante on the day in Jonti Schuback.

The son of former Adelaide small forward Jacob, the junior Schuback capped off the match with a win and a goal to his name.

EVERYTHING Moe touched turned to gold in the first quarter against Bairnsdale.

The Lions may have caught the Redlegs half asleep from their two-hour drive to Ted Summerton Reserve, as they had two goals on the board in as many minutes, before adding another five by the time the quarter-time siren sounded.

Bairnsdale was never able to recover from there, as the Lions went on their way to a 17.21 (123) to 7.10 (52) victory.

Kristian Jaksch finished with five goals for the Lions, with James Blaser, Harri Sim and Trent Baldi among

their best players. Best players for Bairnsdale were Linc Robinson, Simon Deery and Josh Wykes.

WONTHAGGI defeated Morwell at home in a nail-biter.

The Tigers found themselves on the wrong side of a match that could have gone either way for the second week in a row, going down 8.10 (58) to 8.12 (60).

The highest margin at any of the breaks was just eight points, which Wonthaggi took into half-time.

Morwell wrestled back the lead with one term to go, but was caught agonisingly short after both teams kicked two goals in the final stanza.

Cody MacDonald kicked three goals for the Tigers to be among the best players, while Max Linton, Dan Musil and James Jacobsen also played well.

Best players for Wonthaggi were Flynn Anderson, Josh Bates and Toma Huther.

LEONGATHA gave Drouin a touch-up at home.

An eight-goal first quarter saw the Parrots blow the game open, and from there they were able to skip away to a 23.12 (150) to 9.11 (65) win.

Aaron Heppell was in devastating form, kicking six goals in a best-on-ground display. Jack Ginnane responded well to his first senior call-up for the season and kicked four goals, while Cam Olden and Chris Verboon also did well.

Chris Robinson, Harry Wans and Matt Stevens battled hard for Drouin.
