GIPPSLAND Grammar’s Board has announced that Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper has resigned and finished her time as principal at the end of Term 2. Gippsland Grammar board chair Brendan Shepherd thanked Mrs Harper for her dedicated service to the school, which included guiding the leading independent school through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. “On behalf of the school community we wish Leisa well in her future endeavours,” Mr Shepherd said. Gippsland Grammar’s current deputy principal Michele Wakeham will step in as acting principal. “The board is also pleased to announce that Michele Wakeham has accepted the appointment to the position of acting principal of Gippsland Grammar,” Mr Shepherd said. “Michele brings strong leadership, knowledge and passion to the role and will continue to be supported by our highly competent leadership team.” Mrs Wakeham joined the Gippsland Grammar Community 12 months ago from Trinity Grammar School in Kew where she was deputy director of Teaching and Learning. Prior to that Mrs Wakeham was head of mathematics at Geelong Grammar School. During her time at Gippsland Grammar, Mrs Wakeham has led the school’s teaching and learning program and has fully immersed herself and her young family both into school life and into the wider Gippsland region. “I am passionate about the education of young people and the future of Gippsland Grammar,” Mrs Wakeham said. As a member of the Sale Golf Club, Seaspray Surf Lifesaving Club, Sale United Football Club and the church choir director, Mrs Wakeham has strong links within the Gippsland community and is keen for Gippsland Grammar to continue to support the community to thrive.

Slow down plea after close call Zoe Askew

LOCALS fear for their safety as dangerous driving in the shared zone on Raymond Street escalates, leaving many calling for action. Rhonda Beam and her carer Jill Wood were crossing the road in the shared zone on Raymond Street outside the Commonwealth Bank on Wednesday, June 15, when a man in a dark-coloured BMW, travelling well above the 10-kilometre speed limit, almost didn't stop. Legally blind and reliant on a walker for mobility, Ms Beam began to cross the road behind Cr Wood, no more than a foot length away from one another. "We were crossing the road from Commonwealth Bank, and Jill had started walking ahead a little bit and was saying for me to come," Ms Beam explained. "So I started to cross the road when Jill noticed the man driving a black BMW wasn't going to stop. "She started to yell, ‘stop, stop, stop’ and put her hand out. "The man eventually stopped, rolled down his window and asked what the matter was. "Jill said to the man, ‘you are supposed to stop’." The man in the car disagreed, pointing to the speed bumps in the shared zone on Raymond Street and telling the two women they were meant to use the crossing. "Jill said no, you are supposed to stop," Ms Beam said. The man, still in disagreement, replied, again pointing to the speed bumps and telling the women that they are supposed to cross at the crossing. "Jill was quite cross," Ms Beam said. "She told the man that we have the right of way. He yelled, ‘well go then’, and so we crossed the road. "This is happening all the time. "It isn't the first time this has happened. You really have to be on your toes when crossing there. The cars just don't stop. "They seem to think they have the right of way, and they just don't stop. "And it is a 10-kilometre speed limit; you really should be crawling. But the speed that a lot of people are going through there is ridiculous.” Jill Wood, a Wellington Shire Councillor, has had to grow tough-skinned in her 37 years with Victoria Police working in Criminal Investigation, Sexual Offence and Child Abuse. Still, the incident on the afternoon of June 15 left Cr Wood upset and frustrated. "I was really upset," Cr Wood said. "He had no idea that he was supposed to give way." Ms Beam is not alone in her concerns. Staff from Wild Honey café, located near the shared zone on Raymond Street, report that speeding and failing to give way to pedestrians is a major concern. "It is a really big problem at the moment," Wild Honey employee Salem Norris said. "People rarely give way. There have been so many times I've nearly been hit by cars walking across there. And people go so fast through there.”

Rhonda Beam with a message for drivers to please be careful, slow down and give way to pedestrians. Another Wild Honey employee said "literally no one gives way". The large glass front doors at Findlay & Weymouth Amcal Pharmacy, situated on the roadside of Raymond Street, provide staff with a direct line of sight to the shared zone. Findlay & Weymouth employee Sue Wilson said she has witnessed several close calls as a consequence of drivers failing to give way.

"I have seen so many close encounters," Ms Wilson said, tilting her head to look at the street. "It is terrible, people go too fast and aren't giving way and it's only getting worse. "Something needs to be done; I don't know what, but it needs big flashing lights that say slow down, pedestrians, or to paint the entire area red, just something.” Wellington Shire Council Mayor Ian Bye, said

this is a case of "bad driver behaviour". "Drivers need to slow down and give way to pedestrians through the shared zone to keep everyone safe," Cr Bye said. "Any incidents, whether they occur in the shared zone or other roads, need to be reported to local police so they know there is an issue and can investigate. "We must remember that one incident does not mean all drivers are behaving badly, and if these incidents are happening more often, they need to be reported through the appropriate channels so action can be taken.” According to Sale Police, there has not been an increase in reported incidents in the shared zone, despite the alarming number of incidents and concerns from the public. "If there is an incident, people need to report it," Constable Mark Horne said. "Even if you don't have the licence plate details, report it, and we can investigate. "There are street safety cameras across Sale, particularly in the clocktower area, so if there is an incident in the area, we can easily access footage for more information. "But the public really needs to be reporting these incidents." By reporting any incidents involving dangerous driver behaviour to Victoria Police, authorities can obtain an accurate understanding of an issue and implement measures to ensure public safety. Without documentation, police have no cause to suspect a problem and thus have no need to act accordingly. To make a report, you can do so online by heading to https://www.police.vic.gov.au/police-assistanceline-and-online-reporting, or you can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Alternatively, you can call or visit your local police.

Chester’s appearance at Royal Commission

HEALTH professionals have issued an alert after a traveller returning to Victoria from the United Kingdom and Italy has a confirmed case of measles. This is the first case of measles in Victoria since March 2020, and health professionals urge health workers and the public to be alert for measles in patients presenting with a fever and onset of rash. Clinical features of measles include prodromal fever, a severe cough, conjunctivitis and coryza, followed by a rash usually starting on the face. Initial symptoms of measles may be similar to those of COVID-19 and influenza. If a symptomatic patient has a negative COVID-19 and influenza test, they should continue to isolate, and if a rash develops, they should be immediately tested for measles. Measles is highly transmissible and can persist in the environment for up to two hours. People with measles are potentially infectious from around five days before the onset of a rash to four days after the appearance of the rash. Any person born during or since 1966 who does not have documented evidence of receiving two doses of a measles-containing vaccine or does not have documented evidence of immunity is at risk. Unvaccinated infants are at a particularly high risk of contracting measles. Anyone developing symptoms that may be consistent with measles should seek medical care. Anyone seeking medical care presenting with clinical features of measles must ensure they can be isolated from others as this is a highly infectious disease. Call ahead, report your symptoms and wear a mask.

So the Veterans' Recognition Package was part of that, encouraging veterans to come forward and register with DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs).” Mr Chester said he believed there was a range of factors that led to the escalation in claims. “If I was to have my time again, which none of us ever get to do, I think I should have put more effort to understanding what that forecasted demand would look like and if models were available to figure out what the volume might look like if you were successful in bringing more veterans forward,” he said. Member for Calare Andrew Gee replaced Mr Chester in the role, serving as Minister until last month’s election. Mr Gee told the commission on Tuesday the Morrison government had initially allocated "zero" funding in its March budget towards fixing the backlog of compensation claims by current and former defence members. Mr Gee, who at the time threatened to resign

unless $96 million was found to fix the problem, told the commission he stood by his claim the waiting times were "a national disgrace". Mr Gee also said there was a connection between processing claim delays and suicidality. “Yeah, that's my view,” he told the commission. On his Facebook page on Thursday, Mr Chester said it was good to provide some input into the commission's work. "My main message was pretty simple: there’s a lot of work that has been done to support our veterans and their families but there’s also more for the government and community to do in partnership with ex-service organisations," Mr Chester said. "The vast majority of men and women who serve in the military will transition well to civilian life but some will require some extra help. As a grateful nation, we have obligations to support our serving personnel, veterans and their families." beyondblue 1300 22 4636 Lifeline 13 11 14 Open Arms 1800 011 046

FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester was repeatedly questioned at the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide in Townsville on Wednesday, with the former Coalition government pressed for not acting on the Productivity Commission’s 2019 recommendations to fix a backlog of compensation claims for more than two years. The Royal Commission, which began in 2021, is examining systemic issues and common themes in past deaths-by-suicide of ADF members and veterans. Mr Chester was Veterans' Affairs and Defence Personnel Minister from March 2018 until July 2021, when he was sacked by Barnaby Joyce, who took over from Michael McCormack as leader of the Nationals and Deputy Prime Minister. During Mr Chester’s time in the portfolio the number of veterans' claims before the Department of Veterans' Affairs went from 12,000 to more than 57,000. Counsel Assisting Mr Singleton told the commission three years after the report was handed to the government, no decision was made on three key recommendations, and asked Mr Chester if the government had “failed in its duty to veterans in respect of attending to these recommendations”. Mr Chester disagreed with this assertion and had attempted to explain why work had not progressed beyond his call for a “legislative roadmap” in May 2021, two months before the end of his time as minister. “There have been, as I indicated, 35 of the 69 recommendations funded within the order of $386 million through the normal Budgetary process,” Mr Chester said. Counsel Assisting, Peter Singleton, asked Mr Chester if the complex nature of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs claims system, and a huge backlog of claims, had caused errors, delays and a "significant mental health issues and suicidality" for some veterans. “Mr Chester, I don't think anyone is quarrelling that suicide is a complex issue and in any given case there usually will be multiple factors,” Mr Singleton said. “But you would accept, would you not, that for some veterans the complexity of the system gives rise to stress and mental health issues, and sometimes even worse, as one factor in a complex?” Mr Chester said he was unconvinced it could be directly linked to a high suicide rate among defence members and veterans, or the "only cause", but said the system had created problems for veterans. “Well, Mr Singleton, all I'm saying is I can't point you to a case where I can say a single individual veteran went down a pathway of suicidality as a direct result of a complex system,” Mr Chester said. “But I do agree with you entirely that having a system which is so complex and confusing to navigate can add to that anxiety and the stress. I just can't point you to a case that I was aware of that it was a direct causal relationship, but I'm not pretending, by any stretch, that the system wasn't part of the problem at least for some of our veterans.” Asked about the number of veterans’ claims that had quadrupled, and almost quintupled, Mr Chester said the Department of Veterans’ Affairs had become a “victim of its own success in getting to know its veterans more, and more people were coming forward”. “There was certainly a deliberate strategy by myself and the secretary to get to know who our veterans were,” Mr Chester said. “We were worried that there were veterans in

Zoe Askew DR Rob Ziffer is finally hanging up his stethoscope and switching latex gloves for golf gloves after nearly five decades of providing healthcare services to the Gippsland region. After 44 years as a consultant physician, specialising in cardiology and a pioneer in Sale Hospital’s critical care services, Dr Rob Ziffer is retiring. “I have really done a bout of stages. I was working full-time until about five years ago, then I got off the hospital roster because that involved being on call, and I’d been on call all my working life, and that gets a bit demanding,” Dr Ziffer said. “It was the best part of nearly 50 years on call, so I thought it was time to give that up.” “Then I just cut back to doing some clinics at the hospital, and I shut my rooms and did some teaching, and I have been doing that for the past four or five years. “I was just waiting until the hospital in my particular area was struggling a bit with staff, so I didn’t really want to go until that was all sorted out, and then the pandemic came, and everyone had to pull their weight during that time. “But now that everything is settled down a bit and the hospital’s workforce is substantially more robust, I thought it was a good time to go.” After graduating from high school, Dr Ziffer wasted no time heading straight to Melbourne University, where he would complete his degree in medicine. “I was a babyboomer, and things were a bit different then,” Dr Ziffer said. “The schools were very full, and so you didn’t get a lot of chance to get counselled on where you went. “I was interested in a couple of things, but in the end, I chose medicine, and I was very glad I did. “It was also during the 60s, so that was a great time to be young,” he laughed with eyes gleaming, reminiscing on his younger days. “There was lots happening, a lot of change, and I really enjoyed my time at uni.” The pathways in medicine are a labyrinth; with so many career paths available, it’s a wonder how one could choose what to pursue. But Dr Ziffer saw what he wanted and did what he had to do to get to where he is today. “So in medicine, you do your primary degree, then you do some general work, normally in a hospital, you do internships, and you work through it,” Dr Ziffer explained.

“And then somewhere through that process, you decide on where your career path is going to go. “I became a specialist, so I went through the training program for that. “I am a specialist called a physician, so that is a specialist in adult medicine as opposed to a pediatrician who is a specialist in child medicine. “Within that specialty, you can remain there in a general sense, as a general physician, or you can have a sub-speciality interest. “I was always interested in cardiology, so that became my special interest. After completing his post-graduate studies and briefly travelling the world, Dr Ziffer and his wife, Margaret Ziffer packed their bags, said goodbye to the city slicker life in Melbourne, and moved to Sale in 1978. “We had always been quite taken back by the things you see in a rural area, and although neither of us was from a rural area, we had no real experience of it really,” Dr Ziffer said. “I had worked in rural hospitals that was part of your rotations (as a training doctor), so I worked a bit in the western district and Geelong, but apart from that, we had never lived in a rural area before. “There was a job advertised here, and Sale, back in those days, had one medical clinic for the whole town. “So there was one clinic where everybody, specialist and general practitioners worked through the same clinic, and they were looking for a physician. “I thought, ‘oh, that would be a good thing’, you know you’d get into a structure you didn’t have to have to sort of set up your whole business operation yourself, and you can just do it. “So I convinced my wife to try it for a couple of years, and that is the end of the story.” In Dr Ziffer’s 44 years as a physician, he has made significant contributions to the development of Sale Hospital’s critical care unit (CCU), having a considerable say in the replacement design of the 1977 ICU/CCU as part of the hospital’s 1980 major restructure. In 1990 the redeveloped CCU was operating with Dr Ziffer as one of the staffing physicians alongside Dr Ray Wilson and Dr Howard Connor. With the hospital’s CCU in operation, Drs. Connor, Wilson, and Ziffer worked hard, putting in long hours, providing patient care throughout the day and alternating between being on call. Since practising as a physician, Dr Ziffer has had an estimated 750,000 interactions with patients.

Good doctor to chase aces

“I was trying to work out how many people I saw a day,” Dr Ziffer said. “So about three-quarters of a million, I’d reckon. “Not three-quarters of a million different patients, but interactions, so that might be the same patient many times.” Dr Ziffer’s love for medicine isn’t from the status, money, or notoriety; it’s the people who fuel his love for medicine. “You see a lot in medicine,” said Dr Ziffer. “You see a lot of people, and sometimes they are incredibly sad. “You know, you see people that are injured or become sick, so there are a lot of sad things you have to share with people and try and support them through it. “It is really important to realise they are the key people, and you have to look after them. “ I’ve had lots of humorous instances; I think it’s always good to have a laugh and keep things light at times, so there are some funny instances to recall. “Overall, most of the memories are really about the wonderful people that you see. “You see a lot of patients that have got amazing courage with the way that they deal with an illness and work their way through it. “You really admire and respect those folk and the way they have handled themselves through that, and it gives you a small insight into the kind of people that they are. “That is what I really enjoy about medicine - the people.” Despite initial concerns about missing the city life, Dr Ziffer and his wife Margaret were taken back by the wonders of life regional Victoria offers. “One of the nice things about working in a regional centre like this is most of the people that work there have ownership in the community and are part of the community,” said Dr Ziffer. “It has been a fantastic exercise, working with people like that and all the relationships you make; I think they have been the most rewarding things.” Unfortunately, we all know that life isn’t always easy, that it can be fragile and delicate and absolutely unpredictable, especially in medicine. “It’s interesting because it is very gratifying when things go well, but they don’t always, not by a long shot, so you have to be able to deal with those sorts of uncertainties,” Dr Ziffer said. “It takes a while at your own personal level to find your own accommodation with that, and you have to just ensure that you’ve done the best that

you can, and you’ve done the best thing by that particular person. “Like I say, when you’ve had that many interactions, not all of them go well. You make mistakes in how you deal with it, and if you had your time over, you might do things differently and so on, but all you can do is do the best that you can, every day. “The most difficult thing is when you’ve got sick patients, really. “The hospital has got a thousand staff or something and various guidelines and its people looking after people, so there are always tensions within that,” Dr Ziffer added. “It is a very political system, and if you are going to get the best out of it, you have to be aware of that and how that works and just try and do what you can to get the best outcomes.” From student to doctor to specialist and teacher, Dr Ziffer has worked, and worked hard, his entire life and now is finally taking time to slow down and enjoy the things he loves. “We will travel; we are going to do a bit of travel over the next couple of months because we’ve got the time, and we’re not committed to anything,” Dr Ziffer said. “We have done a lot of travel over our time, and we’ve always enjoyed that, my wife and I.” “I’ve got three kids, Rebecca, Joel and Dan. “And two of my kids are in Melbourne. “I play a bit of bridge, and a friend of mine has this sort of an equation; he said you need to be doing seven things a week for five hours each, and that is your 35-hour week, and you can’t count travel. “So that could be a game of golf, or a game of bridge or going to the gym, or doing some gardening. “It was a good way to think of it, and I think it’s also good because one of the things I have found is that people often say when I stop work, I’ll play golf or something, and then they take up golf or bowls, and they don’t really enjoy it.” Dr Ziffer has truly made his mark in medicine, helping thousands of people in the Gippsland community. Forty-four years as a physician has given Dr Ziffer a wealth of knowledge, sharing with young and aspiring doctors to “find what you love and pursue it”. “As a young student or young doctor, just look around, see what you enjoy and try them all and make sure you are making the right call,” Dr Ziffer said.

It’s great to skate with roller derby Stefan Bradley GIPPSLAND Lakes Roller Derby in Sale is looking for skaters of all skill and fitness levels aged over 18 for their senior roller derby team. Gippsland Lakes Roller Derby vice president and coach Liz Griffiths said the sport was a great way to stay active in a fun environment. “The club has been here 10 years and I started nine years ago. There is a lot of training that goes into learning how to skate safely, and learning all the rules of the sport,” Ms Griffiths said. “Roller skating is fun, and doing it with your friends is really fun. The kids in the juniors love doing it as well, especially for recreation, rather than competition. “Skating itself is not that difficult to learn, as long as you stick with it. It can get tricky when skating close to other people, and learning how to make contact with people and bump into them, and how to get yourself back up if you fall down. “There can be barriers to entry due to the cost of the skating equipment, but we’ve used grant money to build up loan equipment, such as the skates, helmets and pads for elbows, knees and wrists. That has really reduced the costs for a lot of people, because when I started we had to bring our own things. “Right now, they just need to bring a mouthguard and a drink bottle. We can supply everything else. There’s a cost involved with our annual membership fee, and training fees. There’s also insurance from Skate Victoria.” Ms Griffiths says they need 15 people for a full team, and the smaller number of players have made it difficult to practise. “We’ve never had enough for a full team. When we play in Team Regional Victoria with the other three clubs we’re with, we still don’t have full teams, because they’re small clubs like us. It’s hard to get people into a different sport like this because they’re so used to cricket, football and netball in these country areas,” she said. “We usually play with 10 or 11 skaters. It’s also hard getting people back because with COVID, everyone had a long break. And once people stop coming, it’s too easy to just not come back. We used to have a lot of people coming up through the ranks, but since people have dropped out, that hasn’t been happening, but we’re just now starting to get skaters back in. We want to be able to show everyone what the game is actually like. We’d love to get another 20 or 30 new skaters in.” From a fitness standpoint, Ms Griffths says that roller derby training is a full body workout. “When you start, you will discover muscles that you didn’t know you had,” she said. “There’s a lot of squatting as you have to keep down low so you don’t fall over as easily. And you use your arms as you’re bracing with your teammates when you’re playing. It’s your arms, legs, core strength, endurance. It’s everything.” Ms Griffiths said that the roller derby community is very friendly, including opponents. “A lot of people think that roller derby is this big, aggressive, fistfight on wheels where participants get injured all the time, which may have been seen in a lot of movies with old school roller derby. But it’s not like that at all, it’s played in a really safe way. And the roller derby community is really friendly, even your opponents. It’s not as aggressive as other sports.” Those interested in finding out more can follow the Gippsland Lakes Roller Derby Facebook page for updates or to get involved. The club skates Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Sale Showgrounds Henebery Pavilion (Dawson St) from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Training for juniors is also available.

Freeway Ricardo out to reach the one million mark Richard Van Pijlen, the man walking from Sydney to Pert rth t raising money for Landcare Australia, dropped by Sale recently. Photo: Zoe Askew

Zoe Askew A MAN on a mission, a grandfather creating a legacy, a painter, a nature-lover and an environmental warrior; meet Richard Van Pijlen, the Dutch-born Australian, walking from Sydney to Perth, raising money for Landcare Australia to plant one million trees. Richard Van Pijlen began his journey across the country, stepping off from Sydney’s northern beaches on Monday, May 2, and passing through Sale on Tuesday, June 21. It all started eight months ago when the 68-year-old Sydney painter and his partner Debbie Tennant watched a documentary about the diminishing existence of the native Australian Koala. “I was watching a program probably about eight months ago, about the Northern Rivers and the Koala corridor,” Mr Van Pijlen said. “I was watching it with my partner, and she was just crying, and I just felt so,” a deep sigh finishing his sentence. “So I said, you know what, I am just going to do something about it instead of sitting on my hands. “I’ve got eight grandchildren; instead of complaining, I just want to make a difference and plant trees. “So, I am walking from Sydney to Perth to raise money for Landcare Australia to plant one million trees.” Australia’s koala population is on life support after torrential rains yielded horrific floods and the cataclysmic 2019/20 bushfires that incinerated 338,000 square kilometres along the east coast, the size of Sale nearly 7350 times over, in which 61,000 koalas perished. The ACT, NSW, and QLD declared koalas an endangered species in February 2022, dismissing the Australian Koala Foundation’s (AKF) arguments for the species to be classed as endangered in every state.

Mr Van Pijlen knew that with the AKF estimating less than 100,000 Koalas left in the wild, possibly as few as 43,000, without immediate intervention, the iconic Australian native mammal will soon be extinct. “I want to leave a legacy behind for the grandchildren,” Mr Van Pijlen said. “I have been painting for over 50 years, and I am nearly retired, and I felt like instead of being at home, I just want to make a difference. “I have always had a passion for bush regeneration and gardening. It’s always been there from a very young age, and I love adventure as well.” In his endeavour to raise enough money for one million trees, Mr Van Pijlen has received praise from Landcare Australia CEO Dr Shane Norrish. “This fantastic initiative by Mr van Pijlen shows just how passionate Australians are about Landcare and bush regeneration, especially following the Black Summer Bushfires and recent floods,” Dr Norrish said. “Planting native trees and shrubs not only helps to restore valuable natural assets and native habitat, but it also benefits local communities by having a positive impact on mental and physical health. It’s a win-win.” So far, the 68-year-old has walked more than 900 kilometres along Australia’s east coast in a journey that hasn’t been without its challenges. “I have been on the road for about seven weeks,” Mr Van Pijlen said. “I’ve slept in bus shelters, picnic tables, out the front of churches; I really have slept in all sorts of places.” “Sometimes, when it has been really rough, I just go into a motel, clean up and reorganise.” The night before reaching Sale, Mr Van Pijlen slept on a shrub in the bush between Bairnsdale and Sale, laughing as he said, “it was a rough night”. Even if a shrub in the middle of a bush is not the ideal destination to sleep, it was still preferable

to the night he spent in Genoa, which, according to Mr Van Pijlen, was the most brutal night on his journey to date. “Just before I got to Cann River, I was in this place called Genoa. Oh my god, it is a very small town,” said Mr Van Pijlen. “I sort of got there, and there was only like one street light, and I said to myself, ‘oh Lord, what am I going to do?’ “Then it started to rain, so I started walking a bit, and cause it only has the one street light there, it kind of looked like one of those cardboard towns, you know, like the wild west, or a scary movie, really that’s what it looked like. “Then I saw this bus shelter, and I thought, well, at least I’ve got shelter. “So I put my tarpaulin down in the bus shelter and put my sleeping bag up there,” he explained theatrically. “And I went to sleep. It was absolutely freezing; it was below zero. “I woke up in the morning, and everything was frozen. My whole trolley was frozen, and everything was white. “So I packed up as early as I could, as soon as there was daylight, and I started walking to Cann River.

“I walked the whole day. I think it was 48 kilometres or something, up and down hills. So that was a very, very tough day.” With sights sets on Melbourne, where he will meet his partner Ms Tennant to celebrate his 69th birthday on July 7, Mr Van Pijlen said goodbye to Sale and continued “Freeway Ricardo”. “Freeway Ricardo” is the name for Mr Van Pijlen’s cross-country journey, which he feels perfectly represents “the whole post-COVID freedom feeling” and acknowledges his Dutch heritage; Ricardo being the European version of Richard. Mr Van Pijlen migrated from Holland when he was 25 in the Christmas of 1979. You can follow Richard Van Pijlen on his journey from Sydney to Perth on Instagram, @ freewayricardo.

Laughs in store at The Wedge Zoe Askew

AFTER the past few years, it is safe to say we could all do with a good laugh, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow at The Wedge this Friday, guarantees to have you in stitches. The people of Sale were quick to tell their dads they were sorry and that their jokes just aren’t that funny, with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow selling out faster than hotcakes and hash browns at the Melbourne Central McDonald’s at 6am on a Sunday morning. Hosting the show is Ben Lomas, a man, who is a boy, who is a dad ... who doesn’t want to grow up. Lomas is one of Australia’s most-acclaimed comedians, famous for his ability to have audiences in raptures. When Lomas isn’t performing on stage, he frequently appears on some of Australia’s best comedy shows, such as Mad As Hell, The Front Bar, The Weekly, and The Project. “I love Gippsland,” Lomas told the Gippsland Times. “I get so excited to perform here. My favourite gigs are in the country, partly due to the people, partly due to the bakeries. “The show (Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow) has some of Melbourne’s finest comedians, and this line-up is absolutely spectacular.” Performing at The Wedge are some of the country’s biggest and best upcoming comedians, including Bronwyn Kuss, Claire Hooper, Lewis Garnham and Takashi Wakasugi. Kuss performed her debut solo, Any Goss, at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival earlier this year. Kuss was nominated for the prestigious Best Newcomer Award and won the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Director’s Choice Award.

Stand-up comedian, writer and broadcaster, the hysterical Hooper is best known for her role as team captain on the Good News Week, the Australian satirical panel game show hosted by Paul McDermott, airing from April 1996 to May 2000 and February 2008 to April 2012. Hooper is a regular guest on Channel Ten’s The Project and co-host of The Great Australian Bake Off. Graham, who represented South Australia at the 2016 RAW Comedy National Final, has since captivated audiences around the country with his laconic, intelligent, and introspective comedy. When Graham isn’t on stage, on the radio or recording his podcast Can I Borrow Your Mind, he is interested in birdwatching. He wishes to become Australia’s least pretentious and obsessive twitcher. Wakasugi, a stand-up comedian from Japan, will be performing his critically acclaimed show, Stay Home Stay. Like so many, COVID-19 destroyed Wakasugi’s comedy life. Just before the national lockdown, Wakasugi decided to move to Australia with his Perth-born girlfriend. We all know what happened next, and Wakasugi, well, he was stuck at his girlfriend’s parent’s place for nine months. Nine. There were good times. There were great times. There were bad times. And even though his girlfriend broke up with him, he still lives in and loves Australia. Brilliantly diverse, Kuss, Hooper, Garnham and Wakasugi bring their take on life for a night MC Lomas says is “all about the laughs”. “The show will be a lot of fun,” Lomas said. “These are big heavy hitters in Australian comedy who love being on stage, performing.” This star-studded line up will have the audience roaring, so much so that even the oldies hard of hearing up at Wilson’s lodge will hear the echoing of laughter.

Lightyear a great holiday movie for the kids Stefan Bradley LIGHTYEAR is a sci-fi action adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans), the hero who inspired the toy. The all-new story follows the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure alongside a group of ambitious recruits (voices of Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi and Dale Soules), and their robot companion Sox (voice of Peter Sohn). The premise of Lightyear is that this is the film that Andy from Toy Story watched in 1995, and that’s why he went out and bought a Buzz Lightyear toy. Other than that, there’s no real connection to the Toy Story franchise. On its own, Lightyear is a fine nod to space opera films released decades ago. It explores an interesting science-fiction idea on how space travel affects the flow of time, but it doesn’t get too bogged down in the details. From the very beginning, you’ll find the animation is top notch, as Pixar movies usually are. By the end, Lightyear has presented a simple story with plenty of heart and engaging characters. It may be a standard space adventure, but it’s

strongly executed and makes great use of its relatively short 105 minute run-time. Tim Allen voiced Buzz in the Toy Story movies as a comic relief character, which is apparently why they replaced him with Chris Evans of Captain America fame for Lightyear, as Evans plays a human being struggling to fulfil his mission,

rather than a toy. Evans is very convincing in the role, even when he says one of the most famous lines in film history - “to infinity and beyond”. These movies aimed at kids often attempt to put in a mascot character to sell merchandise or appeal to a certain audience, and this time they’ve introduced a talking robot cat named Sox.

Director Angus MacLane even said in an interview they wanted a “cute thing” for the movie, but he gets a pass for Sox, because Sox is absolutely one of the highlights of this movie. His animation is on point and hilarious, his dialogue charming and he plays an important role in Buzz’s emotional journey. Lightyear is not as good as the top-tier Pixar movies, like Up, Inside Out, The Incredibles or all four Toy Story movies, but it’s a perfect family movie for the school holidays. Lightyear is rated PG for mild science fiction themes and animated violence, and is currently screening at Sale Cinema.

Achieving future goals with whole farm planning

Gippsland farmers will have an opportunity to investigate a range of farm management practices in an upcoming online course in July and August. Photo: File West Gippsland farmer Margaret McDonald, who attended the last course, said the presentations were amazing. “We are all from different backgrounds and have a different emphasis on farming,” she said. Churchill farmers Donna and Michaela Lawless said the presenters for each segment were engaging and very knowledgeable. “We would highly recommend the whole farm planning course,” they said.

GIPPSLAND farmers will have an opportunity to investigate a range of farm management practices and planning tools in an upcoming whole farm planning course to be held online during July and August. Livestock Industry Development Officer James Paulet said the whole farm planning course assists with goal setting for future business planning by presenting farmers with relevant information to better understand their farm as it is, and to identify potential areas for improvement. “The content includes computer farm mapping, farm design and layout, soils and land classing, and climate risk management,'' he said. “By the end of the course, participants will have developed a whole farm plan of their property with the aim of making the most of their current infrastructure and assets, while also being presented with ideas to help them realise the potential of their property in line with land capability." Mr Paulet said the whole farm planning course is relevant to farmers of all ages and experiences, with different farming enterprises. “Course presenters have expertise in a variety of topic areas including soils, farm biosecurity, climate and pastures.” The free online course is being offered by Agriculture Victoria over six weeks and follows a successful course held late last year and is highly recommended by several of the participants.

OPERATING out of her garage, Gippsland Microgreens Farming founder Kathleen Murphy says the biggest challenge facing her Briagolongbased, family owned business, is that many people don’t know much about microgreens. Ms Murphy, who previously worked in a health shop, started the microgreens producing business in July last year with her partner, Eden Barberio, a rouseabout working offshore. “We’ve been vegan plant-based eaters for nearly seven years now, so we’ve always grown microgreens and sprouts on our window as a hobby, because it’s nutritionally dense,” Ms Murphy told the Gippsland Times. “During COVID, we wanted to run a business that not only helps people, but can provide for us as a family as well. So Eden asked why don’t we look into microgreens? “We did research and a course on microgreens to get more knowledge on how to grow them, the costs and its benefits. The passion was already there, so we had to make sure that financially it could sustain us. Which it can! So we grow about eight microgreens now.” The garage houses microgreens such as pea shoots, red Russian kale, wheatgrass, sunflowers, broccoli, purple radish, rocket and amaranth. “It’s been an interesting time to start with all the COVID lockdowns that were occurring last year,” Ms Murphy said. “We’re finding that people don’t know a lot about microgreens, so we've been educating them. Basically, microgreens are small versions of their mature counterparts. So broccoli microgreens are the same as (mature) broccoli, but the microgreen ones are more nutrient-dense.

Some of the microgreens.

“And I think the flavour of the microgreen rocket is much more intense than the regular rocket. “For some people, microgreens are just a salad addition to their food, but you can actually add it to smoothies, soups, curries, sushi and pastas, as with the mature vegetable counterpart. Microgreens are more than just a garnish.” Ms Murphy said the goal is to eventually take the microgreens out of the garage and into a shed. “We’d either have it outdoors with natural sunlight or keep doing what we’re doing with the lights inside. We’re looking at selling seedlings as well.” Ms Murphy has also been running plant-based cooking classes. “I recently showed people how to make a microgreens pesto. There’s so much flavour in the pesto, and it’s quick and easy,” she said. “A lot of people are sending me recipes or photos of the dishes they’ve been making, so the feedback has been really good. Locals in Gippsland are very supportive and give a lot of encouragement.” Unlike for many fruit and vegetables producers, Gippsland Microgreens Farming do not require increasingly more expensive fertiliser to grow their product, and the price of soil and seeds have not soared. However, higher electricity prices, inflation and fuel prices have made an impact. “We have to be smarter with our deliveries because we do a lot of kilometres. I go from here (Briagolong) to somewhere like Warragul in a day. That’s a lot of driving,” Ms Murphy said. “And we have to keep the temperature in the garage below 21 degrees, and they’re well circulated with the fans, but that all adds to the cost.”

LEAKY weirs in a regenerative agriculture setting, thousands of tonnes of grain in a cropping and sheep enterprise and a 440-cow dairy that uses collars to monitor and draft their milkers enthralled Gippsland farmers. Gippsland Agricultural Group (GAgG) organised the tour and more than 30 farmers from Nilma to Foster and Bairnsdale took part, visiting farms around Omeo, Holbrook, Wagga Wagga, Cooma and Orbost. One of the farmers on the tour, Allister Morris, Winnindoo, who operates a sheep, cropping and contracting business, has enjoyed all the farm visits, but particularly those to sheep properties. “I learnt from Tom Bull at LAMPRO that ‘more doesn’t always mean more profit’,” Mr Morris said. “Tom said one of his clients has a lower lambing percentage than other clients but operates one of the most profitable businesses. “It’s just something to think about, that’s why it’s good to go on tour, to see how producers similar to me are doing different things.” Mr Morris is looking at venturing into producing composite sheep and was interested to hear how some producers bred their way into composites using existing ewes, while others bought composites in to make the process faster. GAgG chief executive officer Trevor Caithness is also on the tour and said it was interesting to see the willingness of the visited farmers to commit to large on-farm infrastructure. “It might have a long pay-back period for the generation working the farm, but future generations will benefit,” Mr Caithness said. “At the dairy farm it was good to see conserved fodder was an essential part of Scott McKillop’s business plan for the year. “He wouldn’t consider running a business without 12 months silage in front of his cows. “It’s good to be able to take information

GAgG general manager Jen Smith said the research tour gave producers an opportunity to get off their farms, to connect and to learn from other farmers and each other. “It gives them the chance to get off the tools, to stop working in the business and start working on the business,” Ms Smith said.

NEW EXPORT ORDER

“So often we get bogged down on the day-to-day jobs that we don’t have time to work on the strategy and future direction for our agribusinesses. “Tours like these are opportunities to see what other farmers are doing and to work on that strategy builds resilience and capacity for our businesses to grow and thrive. “Building the knowledge skills and confidence of our region’s farmers on these tours is the type of activity that will get us ready for drought and unlock the production potential of our region’s farms.”

Swans consolidate spot in the top four Liam Durkin THE logjam that is the East Gippsland football ladder remained so at the conclusion of Round 11. While the winners toasted victory and were able to secure vital premiership points, it was still not enough to cause too much disruption in the overall scheme of things. Only one win still separates second from fifth, and with seven weeks of regular season action remaining, pundits could be in for a grandstand finish. STRATFORD went a game clear into the top four after defeating Lakes Entrance. The victory gave the Swans their sixth for the season, placing them ahead of Paynesville for the time being. Granted there is still a fair bit of football to be played this season, Stratford’s percentage of 135.56 may be of great benefit in the long run when final positions are decided. The Swans percentage wasn’t given a huge boost on Saturday, although at quarter time many in the red and white would have been entertaining thoughts of this happening. At that stage, Stratford led by 22 points and had registered eight scoring shots to one. The Seagulls slowly but surely hit back, and reduced the deficit to just 16-points at the last change. Stratford found enough winners in the finish, and with their home crowd spurring them on, kicked three goals to one to record a 9.13 (67) to 5.7 (37) victory. Pleasingly for Stratford coach Jarryd Clohesy, his side showed it was not reliant on Haydn Erfurth, Jack Bacon or Rod O’Keefe

doing all the scoring, as the Swans had eight individual goal-kickers. Bacon was among the best players, while the man with the deadly pull shot Ben Channing was voted best of the lot. Others to play well were Regan Tait, Jesse Broadbent, Brad White and Nick French. Best for Lakes Entrance was Sam Nickless, Jarred McDonnell, Jake Fisher, Angus McKenzie, Liam Carroll and Tom Duncan. IT MUST be equally exciting and frustrating to coach Boisdale-Briagolong. The Bombers headed to Lucknow with their confidence up following last week’s win over Lindenow, and it continued into quarter time when they went in with scores level. A little over two hours later however, Boisdale-Briagolong was heading home with its tail between its legs after losing 22.9 (141) to 8.2 (50). What happened after quarter time was an absolute train wreck as far as the Bombers were concerned. Lucknow kicked seven goals in the second term, six in the third and a further five in the last. Conversely, Boisdale-Briagolong kicked one after half-time - and didn’t even score in the third. Darren Allen kicked seven for the Magpies, while Dallas and Jackson Smith got in on the act with five and four respectively. Joel McNamara was best on ground, along with Chris Hammond, Josh Carroll and Glen Perkins. The Bombers did go into the match without Tim Dessent, Billy Marshall and Tyson Daly, but even still, it is highly unlikely the inclusion of those three would be able to haul in a 91-point margin. Paddy Mack battled hard in a losing

cause, and found some willing allies in Rhys Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Jim Reeves and playing-coach Sam Bedggood. Bedggood is surely scratching his head over how his side is able to perform at extreme ends of the spectrum. Boisdale-Briagolong has defeated the top two teams in the competition, but is now facing a situation where virtually every match for the rest of the home-and-away season is an elimination final. For the Bombers, perhaps it is a simple case of: When they are good they are very good, but when they are bad, they are horrendous. IN other games, Lindenow was too strong for Paynesville. The Cats broke away after an even first quarter, eventually winning 14.18 (102) to 5.9 (39) at home. WY Yung defeated a spirited Orbost Snowy Rovers outfit. A strong start from the Tigers saw them kick six goals in the opening quarter to set the game up. The Blues however refused to surrender, outscoring Wy Yung in the third term. Orbost Snowy Rovers managed to get some respectability on their home town scoreboard, as it read 18.14 (122) to 12.9 (81) at full time. Aaron Hanuera kicked half a dozen for the Tigers, and Harry Kellow chipped in with four. Both were named best on ground, along with Mitchell Dewar, Jai Nicholls and Jock Overend. Hamish Nettleton continued to amaze, kicking six goals to keep a famous name in the Orbost region flying proudly. Braeden Ross, Gus Rogers, Jordan Ross, Jarrah Nettleton and Will Walker also performed well.

Wildcats bear claws to hold the Dogs off Liam Durkin WOODSIDE is not done with just yet in North Gippsland football. The unofficial reigning champs reentered the top five, after defeating Sale City in Round 11 action. Facing a Bulldogs outfit that looks to be among a handful of teams fighting for the right to play in an elimination final, the Wildcats got the job done courtesy of an 11.11 (77) to 7.8 (50) victory. Those heading to Stephenson Park for the match may have reflected on just how differing yet similar events of the past few weeks had been for the two clubs. Both teams had players rubbed out for extended periods for incidences against Churchill, and both clubs also had coaches attached to interesting narratives recently. Sale City coach Nathan Thomas was re-signed, while Woodside coach Michael Duncan was named coach in a Team of the Decade for a club he is now coaching against. The game itself at the weekend saw the Wildcats lead from start to finish - although not without a fight from the Bulldogs. Woodside got out to a 20-point lead at half-time, before Sale City clawed their way back to cut the margin to 15 with one quarter to play. The Wildcats did enough, kicking three goals to one in the last to secure their victory. Having had two weeks off due to a league wide and scheduled bye, Duncan may well have seen this match as the start of a ‘mini season’. Josh Scott was best on ground, and received good support from Luke LeBlanc, Rowan Missen, Ryan Foat, Lee Stockdale and Darcy McAlpine. Best for Sale City was Ben Brett, Sam Davidson, Jontie Gray, Mitch Evans, Brysen, Nottle and Ben Chivers. The Wildcats and Bulldogs now have 20 points each to their name, although Woodside has recorded one fewer loss, owing to the fact it has had two byes. CHURCHILL went a game clear of Yarram in the top three. Travelling to Yarram, the Cougars got the desired result, winning 14.7 (91) to 8.13 (61). The Demons squandered a number of opportunities in the first quarter, having 10 scoring shots to three and putting up 2.8 (20). Churchill then took ascendancy in the second, slamming on six goals while keeping Yarram to just 1.1 (7). The Demons persisted after the main break, and had the game in a manageable

position at three quarter time, only 11-points down. The Cougars however had all the answers, and kicked five goals in the last to sew up a five goal win. Cain Iorangi played well for Churchill, as did Dillon Leys, Jake Roe-Duggan, Michael Diaz, Chris Williams and Bailey Flanigan. Yarram was well served by the evergreen Griffin Underwood, along with Jacob Davis, David Coulthard, Kiefer Sutherland, Dan Vardy and Tanner Chisholm. The result means Churchill remains equal-first with Yallourn Yallourn North, while the Demons are still outright third, but only by a game to Traralgon Tyers United. Although both clubs are in the top three for now, issues surrounding depth could soon come home to roost. While the Jets and Bombers reserve grade sides are sitting one and two on the ladder, the Cougars and Demons make up two of the bottom four teams. For Churchill coaches Jordan Fenech and Tim Darby (who has been forced to play in the reserves this season to help with numbers), and Yarram coach Justin Staley, it could be a case of ‘fingers and toes crossed’ they can stay relatively healthy on the run to finals. TRARALGON Tyers United took another step toward the top three. The Bombers got the better of a determined Rosedale, winning 13.20 (98) to 10.6 (66). An arm wrestle of a contest ensued in the first half, as both teams managed six goals. It was more of the same in the third, with the Bombers and Blues trading three goals each, although TTU did have nine scoring shots to four. The Bombers were able to break the dam wall open in the last, and went on to kick four goals to one to secure a very important win against a top-five hopeful. Brad Kelleher had a big say in the result, kicking half a dozen majors for the winners. Captain Jye Neilson was also productive, scoring four to be named in the best alongside Kade Duncan, Rowan Hore, Zach Kilgower and Beau White. Rosedale found honest contributions from Corey Buys, Dylan Rowley, Joel Bristow, Declan Barnett, Hayden Bell and Rohan Hilderbrand. YALLOURN Yallourn North gave Heyfield a reality check. The Jets disposed of the Kangaroos with relative ease, chalking up win number nine with a 21.7 (133) to 6.11 (47) performance. The win keeps YYN on top of the ladder, with a percentage still north of 250. Making the journey to Heyfield, the Jets got going in the second half, slamming on

11 goals to four to run away with the game. Up until half-time it had been fairly even, with both sides having basically the same amount of scoring shots. However, the class of YYN shone through as the game went on, in what became a matter of weight of numbers dragging an opposition down. Dean MacDonald managed to kick more goals than the entire Heyfield side, and was best on ground for the Jets. Others to perform well were James De Virgilio, Keenan Hughes (four goals), Dylan Bentley, Rohan Reid and Jai Massese, who took the number of times he has been in the best to seven in 10 games. Watching Massese, one can draw comparisons to Roger Federer, in that he doesn’t do anything overly spectacular, he just does the basics really well and does them over and over and over again. Heyfield found good output from Adam Wallace, Tom Marchesi, Marcus Sundermann, Tyson Birss, Miller Eastham and James Beha. GLENGARRY made it back-to-back wins. The Magpies remained unbeaten since the bye, getting up over Cowwarr in a highscoring match 23.14 (152) to 12.12 (84). A six goal to two second quarter set up the path to victory for Glengarry, who went on their way from there. The Saints were in the box seat at quarter time, but fell away badly from there. Spencer Poulton nabbed seven goals for Glengarry to be named best on, and received support from Jesse Lee, Callum Mitchell, Jackson Hall, Alex Birmingham and Jack Burgess. Matt Bourke, Kyle Stamers, Ben Coffey, Rob Ferguson, Nick Wozniak and Harrison Low were best for Cowwarr. Cowwarr is still searching for its first win of the season, and is surely eyeing off this weekend against Gormandale (coming off the bye) as the best chance it has to do it. Meanwhile, Glengarry players will be extra cautious to not get too excited after a solid fortnight, especially those who might be a bit superstitious. A plague seems to be developing in North Gippsland involving teams losing the week after playing Cowwarr. Only once this season has a side won the week after defeating Cowwarr. Will Glengarry become another victim of the ‘Cowwarr Curse’ when they take on Churchill in a few days?

Liam Durkin THE screws holding the Gippsland League ladder together were tightened at the weekend. A quartet of teams went equal on points after Round 11 action, while only one win separates second from seventh. MAFFRA climbed to fourth on the ladder. The Eagles broke away from Bairnsdale after an even first half, running away with the match in the end to win 18.14 (122) to 5.8 (38). Knowing percentage may well determine its finals fate, Maffra kicked five goals to one in the last quarter to see the margin bleed out to 84-points. Very little separated the sides at quarter time at Bairnsdale City Oval, with Maffra only one point ahead. The Eagles did most of their groundwork in the second, adding five goals to one, which set them up for the resumption once the respective sides re-entered the field of play. Maffra successfully put the stops on Redlegs livewire Brayden McCarrey, who was held goalless for just the third time this season. The Eagles defence of David Adams, James Read and James Huts seem to know how to play McCarrey well, as he has not kicked a goal on both occasions against Maffra this season. Hudson Holmes was again best on ground for the victors, and received good support from partner in crime Kade Renooy. Others to play well were Lachlan Channing, Ben Brunt, Ryan Auld and Danny Butcher. For Bairnsdale, Kieran Vickery, Logan Austin, Andrew Nelson, Simon Deery, Daniel Preston and Charles Mein battled manfully. While finals might still be mathematically possible, you can just about put a red line through the Redlegs for season 2022, who have now lost nine games. Historically speaking, in a 10-team Gippsland League competition, you can’t lose more than eight games in order to qualify for finals.

SALE proved its capability against Leongatha. Despite going down 13.4 (82) to 9.10 (64), the Magpies more than held their own against the best team in the competition, and will surely take plenty of stock out of the performance. Travelling to Parrot Park, the visitors kicked against the scoring end, and saw their opponents slot five goals to start proceedings. Sale however then had its turn, and was able to score four goals to go into half-time only two points behind. The combatants traded blows in the third, each managing two goals, to see the margin exactly the same at three quarter time as it was at the main break. Leongatha though was able to finish strongly, and bookended its game with as many goals in the last quarter as it had in the first. Ned Hanily played well for the Parrots, as did Ben Willis, Aaron Hillberg, Jack Ginnane, Travis Nash and Kim Drew in his first senior game for the season. Best for Sale was Lachlan Todd, Cooper Whitehill, Brad Dessent (four goals), Jack Leslie, Shannen Lange and Mitch Bown. Having lost to the two top teams in the last fortnight by a point (Wonthaggi) and now 18-points, the Magpies will feel confident knowing they are close enough to beat any team in the competition. In the back of their mind, Sale might be welcoming the chance to get a South Gippsland team on a dry Latrobe Valley ground on a hot September day - conditions surely more suited to a Wellington-based team. ELSEWHERE, Morwell emerged as a genuine finals contender after defeating Moe. The Tigers had the better of the Lions, winning 13.16 (94) to 13.6 (84). Ill-discipline certainly cost Moe, who gave Morwell consecutive shots on goal from 50 metre penalties in the last quarter. The Lions are well and truly in a tailspin, having lost five of their last six games to

drop from second to sixth on the ladder in that time. Morwell meanwhile has slowly but surely tracked closer to the top five, and is now only out by percentage. Ryan Hearn was best for the Tigers at the weekend, along with Brandon Mcauliffe, Tristen Waak, Brandon McDonald, Dan Musil, and the man with the ball drop that defies they laws of physics, Cody Macdonald. Moe found solid contributions from Trent Baldi, Grady Cocksedge, Justin Morrow (four goals), Ben Morrow, Declan Keilty and Brock Smith. TRARALGON remained a game clear in third after easily accounting for Drouin. The Maroons did as most predicted, stretching their lead to a 14.19 (103) to 7.5 (47) victory at the finish. Coach Jake Best and captain Dylan Loprese each kicked four in the win, and had good support from Conor Little, Liam Farley, Tom Schneider, Mark Collison and Luis D’Angelo. Outgoing Drouin coach Jordan Kingi was best for the Hawks. Kingi recently announced he would be stepping down at season’s end, having coached for the last five seasons. Replacing him will be Brent Clinnick, who has been an assistant coach at Phillip Island in the last three years. WONTHAGGI won by three figures against Warragul. The Power slammed on seven goals to one in the second term, and a further six to none in the third to see itself to a 21.9 (135) to 5.4 (34) win. Jordan Staley sent through half a dozen majors and was named best on for his effort. Others to play well for Wonthaggi were Ryan Sparkes, Noah Anderson and Andrew Murray. Nick Graham, Sam Whibley and Lucas Monacella persisted for the Gulls.

MiniRoos shine

SALE United’s MiniRoos Kick Off Program came to a close last Wednesday with all players receiving a medal in recognition of their participation and improvement. The fully booked out program, designed for new players aged four to eight years, was held during second term of school where the kids learned a lot from coaches Solomon Nash and Will Coleman. The weekly 45-minute sessions built skills through games and simple drills delivered in a fun and engaging environment where every player got plenty of time on the ball and the prime aim of each session was for children to build fundamental motor skills. The club runs the program as a lead up to the Annual Primary School Twilight tournament and gives the kids the opportunity to get some skills behind them before it starts. The school tournament runs during Term 4 with details to come out next term.
