LUCK OF THE BALLOT DRAW

CANDIDATES for the seat of Gippsland have learned where their names will fall on the ballot at next month’s federal election. The Australian Electoral Commission held the ballot draw at their Sale office on Friday with five of the six candidates in attendance. Greg Hansford, representing Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party, drew top spot on the ballot. When asked whether securing first place on the ballot would make a difference to his chances, Mr Hansford

was indifferent, choosing instead to talk about his fellow candidates. “I’m really happy there are so many independents that have stood up,” Mr Hansford said, referring to the candidates from minor parties such as the Liberal Democrates and United Australia. “There are a lot of Victorians who are sick of the same old politics, same old ideas, so the independents like us have new fresh ideas to try and fix the mess that Australia’s in.” Incumbent Member for Gippsland Darren Chester, representing the National Party, drew the second place on the ballot.

Mr Chester said that he doesn’t think the position on the ballot means that much in a seat like Gippsland. “The people of Gippsland are very astute and can find the candidate they’re looking for on the ballot paper,” Mr Chester said. “I think we sometimes exaggerate the importance of ballot position, but it’s good to have the official campaign underway.” Mr Chester said that his campaign will be “relentlessly positive and optimistic” about the future of Gippsland.

Creating new habitat on farmland FOLLOWING the devastating Black Summer Bushfires, Yarram Yarram Landcare Network was determined to take action to restore important habitat on private property adjoining the Holey Plains State Park. Using over $19,800 provided by the WIRES Landcare Wildlife Relief and Recovery Grants Program, landcarers and local landholders erected 1.5km of fencing and set about procuring a total of 3500 native tubestock to revegetate approximately five hectares of important wildlife corridors. While the COVID-19 pandemic unfortunately impacted the attendance to community tree planting days, members of Merriman Creek Landcare Group were happy to report the project coincided with a very favourable year for tree planting in the Stradbroke West area. This project created vital new habitat for the vulnerable Wellington Mint Bush and replaced areas of open forest of banksia and eucalypt vegetation destroyed during the bushfires which

ravaged the Holey Plains State Park. The project site is also essential habitat for many threatened and rare species, such as the Lace Monitor, Long Nosed Bandicoot, Powerful Owl and White-bellied Sea Eagle. "This project was absolutely essential for creating new habitat in an area ravaged by bushfires. The Holey Plains State Park will take many years to recover, however by establishing new safe havens for wildlife on private farmland we are expediting this process," Yarram Yarram Landcare Network co-ordinator Scott Elliott said. In addition to the regeneration work, Yarram Yarram Landcare Network have also installed five nest boxes, with baseline bird monitoring has also been established at the project site and two biodiversity surveys conducted before project completion. A total of 15 people were involved in the project (including eight volunteers), who contributed a total of 300 volunteer hours.

Liberal Democratic Party candidate Jim McDonald, who was not in attendance on the day, drew fifth spot on the ballot. A spokesperson for Mr McDonald was contacted for comment. The sixth and final spot on the ballot fell to Jannette Langley, representing the Australian Labor Party. With the Nationals and Mr Chester holding Gippsland by a margin of 16.7 per cent, Ms Langley is aiming to increase Labor’s first-preference votes at this election rather than win outright. “I’ve got some really positive feedback from people out there, and people that have previously voted for

1: Greg Hansford (Pauline Hanson's One Nation) 2: Darren Chester (National Party, incumbent) 3: Gregory Forster (United Australia Party) 4: Marjorie Thorpe (Australian Greens) 5: Jim McDonald (Liberal Democratic Party) 6: Jannette Langley (Australian Labor Party)

(Chester) that just don’t like the direction the Nats are going,” Ms Langley said. “Realistically, can I win this seat? Possibly not. “But taking a large percentage off (Chester)… This is probably the best election to do it at.” There was a cordial atmosphere among the candidates The Federal Election will take place Saturday, May 21, with the AEC to announce voting and pre-poll locations over the coming days.

Easing of Heyfield hosts round table restrictions in council facilities Jaci Hicken

WELLINGTON Shire Council released a statement on Friday welcoming the state government announcement of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, which took effect that night at 11.59pm. The easing of restrictions means check-ins and proof of vaccination status will no longer be required for any members of the public attending any Council buildings or facilities, including:  Customer service centres  Libraries  Port of Sale precinct including, The Wedge and Wellington Centre  Aqua Energy  Gippsland Regional Sports Complex  Gippsland Regional Livestock Exchange  Council owned, but community managed facilities such as halls, sporting grounds etc Face masks are not required in any of these venues, however are recommended in circumstances where physical distancing isn’t possible.

GIPPSLAND timber industry representatives were doubling down on calls for the state government to back off on plans to phase out native forestry at a meeting in Heyfield last week. The Timber Towns Victoria round table comprised local government representatives, state and federal members of Parliament and industry bodies. The group was raising concerns on the state government’s plans to end native forestry by 2030, and the impacts on Gippsland communities. Latrobe City councillor and National Timber Councils Association president Dale Harriman was spruiking the industry’s sustainability credentials. “It stops us importing timber from countries throughout Asia and through to West Africa, where they're going in and just decimating virgin rainforest and decimating forests of all types in an unsustainable and renewable way,” Cr Harriman said. “This is an industry that's been going for 170 years plus, in this region. It's got a huge history, we're talking about the fourth and fifth generation that are harvesting trees, their grandparents and great grandparents planted." Victorian Association of Forest Industries figures state there were 5651 jobs in the timber and forestry industry in Gippsland in 2019. Wellington Shire councillor Carolyn Crossley said the legislation would have a “devastating impact” on the shire’s sophisticated industries – particularly in Heyfield.

“The transition organisation has been talking to us about how they're going to have criteria for supporting the industry to transition to other areas in the workforce, and revise what Heyfield is,” Cr Crossley said. “But they haven't even got the criteria and we won't have it for another couple of years.” Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria Melina Bath described the state government’s promise to replace native timber with $110 million in plantations as a “complete and utter furphy”. “It doesn't exist, there has not been any more net seedlings in the ground, land occupied by plantation timber than prior to the announcement in 2017,” Ms Bath said. She also pointed the role that harvesters played in helping to protect towns in bushfires. “When you take those people out of the industry, civil contractors will not be able to replace the skills, expertise or machinery to save our towns. “So you're actually being counterproductive in relation to saving the environment.” On the same day as the Timber Towns meeting in Heyfield, the state government announced a further nine towns would receive transition funding – but none in Gippsland. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said that the grants would “provide real opportunities for a diverse range of communities to transition away from a native timber industry and to identify new opportunities”. “We are supporting businesses and local communities to take control of their future, seek new opportunities and create more jobs,” Ms Thomas said.

“I think the experience I’ve gained over the past 14 years makes me a strong candidate for the seat,” Mr Chester said. “I’m looking forward to getting out and meeting as many people as possible and discussing their ideas for the future, but also my plans for how we can make Gippsland an even better place to live and to work and to raise your children.” Third place on the ballot went to Gregory Forster, representing the United Australia Party. Mr Forster shared the opinion of Mr Chester on ballot placings, believing that Gippslanders were less likely to “donkey vote” than other constituents. “I think people are motivated for a change, so they’re going to be looking for the candidate that supports their values, and I think that the United Australia Party is the new Country party, because its values align with country people,” Mr Forster said. “The United Australia Party has policies that clearly support communities, clearly support regional area, clearly support individuals and their freedoms. “So I think when people go to vote, they’re going to be searching for the name that represents their values.” Marjorie Thorpe, representing the Greens, drew fourth place on the ballot. Ms Thorpe cited a need to look after the environment as her primary motivation. “The concern I’ve been involved in is logging in the forests, where the forests are being destroyed,” Ms Thorpe said. “They’ve got to stop logging the forests. “The forests are for the people and for the land – no-one owns the forest.” Ms Thorpe also highlighted aged-care, education and Medicare as issues she would be campaigning on.

Dawn Service draws hundreds Stefan Bradley

IT was a poignant, respectful and quiet return for the annual Anzac Day Dawn Service at Sale Cenotaph. Hundreds gathered before the service began at 6am, with cooing babies and the speakers the only ones making a sound, in honour of those who couldn't be there that day. It was as if the one minute silence extended to the entire service, with “Lest we forget” one of the only times the crowd could be heard speaking. Chaplain Nathan Runham prayed for those we have lost, noting that freedom comes at a cost. Sale RSL president Marty Tanzer, who has been going to Dawn Services since the 1980s, also spoke about the catastrophic impacts of war. “On Anzac Day today, we are reminded that war is destructive,” Mr Tanzer said. “Combat is devastating, and human beings touched by it are affected physically, emotionally and spiritually.” Mr Tanzer also acknowledged the sacrifices of those among the crowd who have returned from recent armed conflicts.

WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY

Following the address, the Sale Cenotaph stood tall during the one minute silence. It was the first official Dawn Service in Sale since the pandemic began, with no service going ahead in 2020 and an informal event in 2021. Mr Tanzer said it was pleasing to see a big crowd turn up to the Dawn Service. “I hoped we would see a lot of people and we did, I believe I saw about 300-400 in the crowd,” Mr Tanzer said. “This morning proved that when people can come out (after restrictions ease), they will come out.” Mr Tanzer said that he wanted to remind people about the Kokoda Track campaign in his address. “Everyone knows about Gallipoli, but most of us don't know what happened on the Kokoda Track during the Second World War, which was when Australia was really threatened,” Mr Tanzer said. “We weren't threatened in the same way at Gallipoli, as that was the other side of the world, but we were threatened in 1942. “In my personal opinion, we need to refocus on what happened during that time, without forgetting about Gallipoli.”

Big crowds enjoy Airshow Tom Parry

ORGANISERS and attendees are hailing the inaugural Anzac Weekend Airshow as a success, albeit with some teething troubles regarding traffic. The event took place on April 23 and 24 at West Sale Airport, featuring displays of new and vintage aircraft on the ground and in the sky. An estimated 5000 people attended the event each day. Wellington Shire general manager of development Brent McAlister was among those in attendance, describing the turnout as “beyond all expectations.” “When we started this thing, we were looking for a marquee event, and we thought with the RAAF base (in Sale), an airshow was the perfect event to have,” Mr McAlister said. The presence of the Royal Australian Air Force was felt heavily on the day, with members and aircraft from the East Sale base present. Group Captain Nigel Ward said that the importance of the RAAF’s presence was two-fold. “Firstly, we’re part of the community – we live here, we work here, our kids go to school here, we own houses here,” Group Cpt Ward said. “We’re from Sale, and so we’re here to celebrate a wonderful event… and we’re here to contribute as well.” The other reason for the RAAF’s involvement was West Sale’s role in pilot training. “Perhaps not an awful lot of people would know that when we do pilot training at East Sale, those pilots will actually come across here to West Sale and do some of their circuit training here” Group Cpt Ward said. “So this airfield is actually a very important part of the regional aviation infrastructure from our perspective.”

The contestants from the Fashion Parade. The RAAF’s 100 Squadron from Point Cook was also in attendance, delighting the crowd with their displays and flyovers of vintage aircraft. One such aircraft was a CAC Winjeel, introduced to the RAAF in the 1950s. Wing Commander Philip Beanland, who piloted the aircraft to West Sale, said that the Winjeel was in its original condition. “The most modern thing in the aircraft is my watch,” he said. The aircraft is just one of the many flown and maintained by the 100 Squadron, which seeks to preserve Australia’s aviation history. “We have a fantastic team of engineers who just

look after these machines, and they are precious artefacts,” Wing Cdr Beanland said. “We are custodians of a piece of time, and we try to preserve them as best we can, as well as be a living museum, if you like – flying exhibits.” Another aircraft from the RAAF’s fleet displayed at the event was the C-27J Spartan, courtesy of the Amberley base in Queensland. Group Cpt Ward said that East Sale was “delighted” to have the visiting squadrons present. “It’s very easy for us to support West Sale Anzac Weekend Airshow… but to have an aircraft like the Spartan – a very busy, operational front-line aircraft, with many roles – to have it able to be freed up for the weekend, to come here all the way from Amberley is wonderful,” Group Capt Ward said. “I hadn’t been in one before, so it was actually really nice just to get to speak to the crew, get to look at the aircraft, get to talk to them about what roles they conduct in our near-region.” As promised in the lead-up to the event, there were plenty of flyovers over the weekend from RAAF and civilian aircraft, as well as vehicle displays, food stalls, and aerial stunt-work from Paul Bennet Airshows and Sale’s own Air Force Roulettes. The event also displayed numerous civilian aircraft, including an Aerospool WT9 Dynamic – the only one of its kind in Australia. Michael Xeni, the Australian distributor for Aerospool, stated that many of the attendees had taken an interest in the Slovak-made glider. “It’s been very busy!” Mr Xeni said. “I think being a plane that you can get in, walk

around, that’s sort of appealing to most people – most of the planes are behind fences here.” Mr Xeni was also impressed by the size of the crowd. “This sort of turnout reminds me of the Avalon Airshow, so it’s definitely a really good turnout for a rural airshow.” The large number of attendees did prove a headache for organisers, with traffic jams occurring at the beginning and end of Saturday’s festivities. Queues of cars formed along the Princes Highway in the morning, resulting in wait-times of up to 30 minutes; while in the evening, motorists were having to wait up to an hour to leave the on-site car-parks. Anzac Weekend Airshow event director Nicholas Heath described the queues as a “curse of the events.” “With new events, you just don’t quite know what you’re going to get,” Mr Heath said. “Luckily, a combination of our traffic managers and VicPol (Victoria Police) got right on it and got it sorted as quickly as we could, but one of the curses of events is queues.” Aside from issues with traffic, the inaugural event was generally well-received by members of the public. All of the stakeholders spoken to by the Gippsland Times remarked about not only the size of the crowd, but the smiling faces on everybody in attendance as Mr McAlister noted. “I think it’s just brought a lot of joy to people, to be honest with you,” he said.

SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL 2022 APRIL 23 - MAY 14

Festival fever The 2022 Shakespeare on the River Festival takes on a futuristic twist with over 20 Dystopian events in 20 days. Are you ready?

The world is ending and Tom absolutely refuses to save it. Instead, he gathers his friends in the town’s old theatre to create an archive of their world: the stories, memories and classics that have shaped their lives so far. This visiting youth theatre company from Melbourne is coming for their third visit to our festival. Catch them in a double feature with our own Groundwork Youth Theatre on Saturday, April 30 at 7.30pm.

In 2022, there will be a grand variety of traditional arts and crafts, food and beverages, fresh produce, together with exhibitions and displays. Features of the day include the children’s games on the Village Green run by Groundwork Youth Theatre, craft and lost trades demonstrations at The ArtCOLT, two separate sound stages with performances by the Singers Songwriters Storytellers Stratford crew, upcoming young talent from Julie Ward Music classes and theatrical performances by Courthouse Kids. Food vendors, art & craft stalls, and fundraising opportunities for many local community groups. Plus, don’t miss the “Avonshire Teas” at the Historical Society. Sunday, May 1, 10am-3pm on the Stratford Village Green, Cnr Dixon St & Railway Reserve Rd. There is still time to book a stall! Call Faire Day Coordinator Aynslie on 0405 633 456. Evensong Evensong at the Holy Trinity Church is a Shakespeare on the River Festival tradition.

Community Players present: ‘The Macbeths’ In a post-apocalyptic world, two lovers try to find something to live for. When starting a family fails them, they choose power. But leading a violent society permits the question: is humanity worth fighting for? With six performances across the second two weeks of the festival, this new take on one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays pushes the Dystopian feel of our festival to its limits. Melbourne-based theatre maker Emma Gough has crafted a bleak but powerful take on the classic theme of greed and made central to the story the fate of humanity itself.

Come along and celebrate this ecumenical service with us.

Come support the players that come from all walks of life in our community to strut their one hour upon the stage.

SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL 2022 APRIL 23 - MAY 14

irrepressible Rosalind, both a tree-change and the chance for true love are calling... Initiated by the Australian Shakespeare Company in 2016, the Graduate Players ensemble is a bridging program aimed at creating a stepping stone between drama school and the theatre industry. Participants are immersed in an intense rehearsal process led by ASC actors, directors and specialist teachers before mounting a full-scale professional Shakespeare production.

Bard’s Banquet - The Final Feast A doomsday dinner like no other! In this not-too-distant dystopian future, we gather for a banquet with The Macbeths to celebrate the apocalypse in style. It may be the end of the world as we know it, but we feel fine. Dress in your best wasteland warrior garb or embrace the remnants of a bygone finery. We will feast, fight, fill our cups and dance the night away. The ever popular Bard’s Banquet will once more give folk the chance to dress to theme. Tickets include a three course meal and entertainment. Wits End Bar by The Courthouse Theatre will be selling locally produced craft beer, wines and ciders. Book early to avoid missing out! Saturday, May 7 at 7.30pm.

Combined Primary Schools Production - ‘War of the Roses’ The tussle for the English crown is played out between the Houses of York and Lancaster in a sporting battle for the English throne. A melodrama of Shakespeare’s powerful first play of nationhood and power with the Henry VI trilogy and Richard III, featuring a brilliant young cast. This event is impressive for the opportunity it provides young people plus its longevity, having now run for longer than people can remember! (Best guess is close to 30 years – as long as the festival itself.) Darren McCubbin once again takes the helm, bringing together both local primary schools’ Grade 6 students – a cast of 38 in total.

We appreciate the difficulties that he has to overcome with Covid looming over planning, auditioning and rehearsals. The committee is thankful for his persistence and the support from St Patrick’s Primary and Stratford Primary School in ensuring this unique collaboration continues. May 10 & 11 at 1.30pm; and 6pm on Friday, May 13 at the Mechanics Hall.

As You Like It – Presented by the ASC Graduate Players The city has become unliveable under the fascistic governance of Duke Frederick, whose M.O. is to exile any who oppose him. Plague, pollution and poisonous thoughts are engulfing the metropolis and for the myriad characters in As You Like It, led by the

Pre-Covid, the ensemble travelled to Europe each year to perform at the Prague Fringe Festival. Due to the change in times, the ensemble is proud to be sharing their work with audiences at home as they embark on a tour of regional Victoria. Don’t miss this exciting show, with a cast of dynamic new actors, performing with the ASC for the first time! One performance only that wraps-up our entire festival on Sunday, May 15, 6.30pm at The Stratford Courthouse Theatre. Be ready for the 2022 festival – something wicked this way comes! The Shakespeare On The River Festival is sponsored by The Wellington Shire Council through a Community Assistance Grant. The festival gratefully acknowledges this support.

Aussie expertise helps our Indonesian friends THE local experience of landholders, communities and government agencies working together to protect the Gippsland Lakes was recently shared with land managers from the Lake Limboto area of Indonesia. Staff from the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority’s (WGCMA) Land Management Team shared the story of improving waterway health over the last twenty years. The workshops were organised by the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) as part of Australia’s Memorandum of Understanding with Indonesia on sharing water knowledge. Case studies were exchanged on Lake Limboto in Indonesia and Lake Wellington and the Gippsland Lakes more generally. Populated by subsistence farmers, the Lake Limboto area is affected by sediment and run off having a negative impact on waterway health. WGCMA Lands Program co-ordinator Anthony Goode was in attendance at the workshops. “It was fascinating to see the challenges facing Indonesians which are in some ways similar to those faced here 20 years ago,” Mr Goode said. “One of the major differences however is the scale of the population around Lake Limboto. Where we might work with a few hundred farmers working medium to large scale businesses, the Indonesian team works with thousands of smaller, subsistence farmers growing corn, avocados or working in aquaculture, so they are quite different approaches needed in the two environments.” WGCMA Land and Biodiversity Team manager Shayne Haywood also participated in the workshops to discuss how Gippsland farm businesses have been assisted to change practices. Examples included reducing run-off from paddocks entering waterways to mitigate negative impacts on the Gippsland Lakes. “Initiatives include whole farm plans, which help farmers design the most effective ways to irrigate and save water,” Mr Goode said. “Incentives to develop re-use dams where irrigation water that runs off paddocks is stored and

decision processes to measuring the success of projects over several years. “They were certainly asking some tough questions by the end, which is great and encouraged us to reflect on both the progress of our work so far and how we might improve it into the future,” he said. “One of the key aspects of all the work we do are the relationships we have been able to build up over many years with landholders, other government bodies and people like farm consultants to help drive and reinforce the constant need to keep on the path we’re on.”

Yoorrook Justice Commission invites Elders for submissions

THE Yoorrook Justice Commission will take its next historic step towards achieving truth and justice in Victoria by inviting Elders to make nuther-mooyoop (submissions) from today. Nuther-mooyoop provide an opportunity for Elders to share their truth about the impacts of colonisation on First Peoples in Victoria with Yoorrook. Nuther-mooyoop will also demonstrate the resilience of Traditional Owners including the survival of cultures, knowledge, histories and traditions. First Peoples’ nuther-mooyoop will be protected through Yoorrook’s unique Indigenous data sovereignty protocols. These protocols protect First Peoples’ data ownership and ensure that participants decide how their information will be accessed and used. Yoorrook Justice Commission chair Professor Eleanor Bourke spoke positively about this next historic milestone in Australia’s first and only truth and justice process. “The opening of nuther-mooyoop is an important step in truth telling. Through this process we expect to receive a large number of stories, experiences and histories that have never been told before,” Prof Bourke said. “We also want to assure our Elders, and anyone who makes a nuther-mooyoop over the course of our inquiry, that their stories will be protected and that truth telling will be done in a culturally safe way.” “Nuther-mooyoop and our upcoming wurrek tyerrang (public hearings), are opportunities for First Peoples to be heard. Ultimately Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Victorians will start to build a shared understanding of our history through this process.” “It is essential we complete this work in a way that is reflective of the needs of Community. Yoorrook is grounded in and will be guided by the cultural authority of our Elders, who have long advocated for truth-telling. We are therefore starting our truth telling by inviting them to make nuther-mooyoop first.” The Yoorrook Justice Commission will open

Nuther-mooyoop, is the Boonwurrung word for ‘truth’ and has been adopted by Yoorrook as the term for ‘submission’ based on advice from The Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages in collaboration with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation and VACL’s Advisory Language groups. Unusual for a Royal Commission, Nuthermooyoop made to Yoorrook can take any form, such as writing, an audio or video recording, or

through a truth-telling object such as an artwork, cultural artefact, or photo. “All ways of telling truth are of equal importance. All contribute to Yoorrook’s work. A nuthermooyoop can include anything about past or current experiences of systemic injustice for an Elder, in addition to that of their family or Community,” Prof Bourke said. Elders can make submissions via the Yoorrook website or with the assistance from the Yoorrook Community Engagement Team. Yoorrook’s Community Engagement Team are

all First Peoples and can assist Elders with taking photos, videos or audio recordings of their nuthermooyoop evidence. Elders can make an appointment with Yoorrook’s Community Engagement Team by calling 1800 YOO RRK (1800 966 775) or emailing enquiries@ yoorrook.org.au. The opening of submissions also coincides with the commencement of wurrerk tyerrang (public hearings) from today. For more on the commission, visit the website at yoorrookjusticecommission.org.au/

Gippsland’s alcohol consumption at “risky levels’’ says new report A HIGH proportion of people in Gippsland consume alcohol at risky levels compared to the rest of Victoria. This was revealed in one of two issue papers, titled Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), released by the Gippsland Primary Health Network (Gippsland PHN) as part of addressing priority issues in the region. A second paper, Sexual and Reproductive Health, identified that COVID-19 has impacted service provision in Gippsland with reductions in antenatal care and a change to more telehealth service delivery. Gippsland PHN chief executive officer Amanda Proposch said the organisation was committed to Population Health Planning as an ongoing core function. “We gather data and information from many sources including the local community and health professionals to identify the unique health priorities of our region,” Ms Proposch said. “The purpose is to make informed decisions about the best way to achieve our vision of a measurably healthier Gippsland.” The AOD priority issues paper showed a high rate of ambulance attendances in Gippsland are related to alcohol and drugs. Latrobe Local Government Area (LGA) has the highest call-outs for alcohol intoxication and illicit and pharmaceutical drug use with 674, 465 and 367 attendances respectively (rates per 100,000 population). The main needs identified by people with lived experience include improved availability of services both in acute care and follow-up support. People also identified barriers to access are more significant for Indigenous people, older people and geographically or socially isolated people. The paper on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) identified that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted on service provision with access to affordable abortion services more difficult and delays in accessing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) testing, contraception and cervical cancer screening.

A high proportion of people in Gippsland consume alcohol at risky levels compared to the rest of Victoria. From a community perspective the paper identified stigma, discrimination and racism as the main barriers for seeking information, support and referral for SRH while clinicians are not always willing or confident in providing patients with SRH information. Chlamydia was identified as the most common STI in Gippsland with the highest rates in Baw Baw LGA with 28.1 notifications per 10,000 females

compared with the Victorian average of 18.5 and 17.3 notifications per 10,000 males compared to 16.8 for Victoria. People aged 15 to 29 years account for around 80 per cent of notifications while modelling suggests that 77 per cent of chlamydia cases remain undiagnosed. Around four in five chlamydia cases remain undiagnosed in the community which is why getting

Photo: File

tested is so important. For most people, testing is best accessed via their local general practice. "Chlamydia notifications in Wellington were similar to or lower than state average at 15.8 notifications per 10,000 females and 13.5 per 10,000 males," Ms Proposch told the Gippsland Times. You can read more information contained in the two priority issues papers on the Gippsland PHN website.

El Diablo serves up the laughs THE hilarious comedy El Diablo is finally coming to Yarram, after the show’s tour was cancelled twice in 2021 due to statewide lockdowns. Set in a high-class restaurant, the show centres on an ordinary couple experiencing fine dining for the first time. Writer-director Phillip A Mayer said that the show shines a light on just how ridiculous gourmet dining actually is. “This is a fish-out-of-water, clash-of-cultures comedy, sending up the whole pretentious foodie thing,” Mr Mayer said. “It’s so much fun throwing normal people into this alien world where pompous, overblown and self-important people look down on them, as if they don’t belong. It’s something everyone can relate to, feeling excluded and judged”. El Diablo started touring in November last year when restrictions were eased, and audiences immediately responded. “We were presented with the extra hurdle of having to adapt rehearsals due to COVID, but it didn’t stop us, and audiences obviously had a thirst for something funny because we’ve been selling out everywhere,” Mr Mayer said. “Comedy needs physical interaction to develop, but the cast have been amazing, working to achieve the standard audiences expect from HT&E (Here, There and Everywhere).” When average couple Paul and Maurine finally get a booking at the ritzy and popular El Diablo restaurant, they look forward to hobnobbing with celebrities and wealthy social elites, but their preconceptions are soon shattered, and their evening turns pear-shaped upon the

The cast of Here, There & Everywhere’s El Diablo arrival of so-called upper-crust couple Ian and Siobhan. The plot was inspired by an article published during lockdown, where people were complaining about not being able to go to expensive restaurants. “The entitlement of some people, with zero consideration for most who were doing it hard,

suffering without much support, was amazing, so we thought we’d explore that sense of privilege,” Mr Mayer said. “It's part observational comedy, with a big helping of farce. “We’ve had audiences in stitches watching the train-wreck unfold.” El Diablo is produced by the Traralgon-based

Here, There & Everywhere Theatre Company, which has previously delighted audiences with the hit Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows Couples! and Table 17, and the award-winning Bogan Shakespeare. Mr Mayer said that the company is excited to be getting back to Yarram before they hit the One Act circuit. “We’ve developed a great relationship with regional audiences who love to see something new and different on their doorstep, and local audiences who enjoy a good inappropriate laugh,” he said. “We feel very lucky to be able to perform, as it’s been difficult for live theatre over the last two years, and we hope people come out for a great night of laughs.” El Diablo is set to be another fun-filled original serving by one of Gippsland’s premier theatre companies, featuring an engaging story with outrageous characters and social commentary. “It’s what everyone needs now to get them back to live performance – something fun with some great messages,” Mr Mayer said. “The cast are brilliant and have built a highly entertaining piece of comedy and made the characters very real and relatable. “It’s a treat for the actors to play these people and it’s a treat for audiences.” El Diablo is showing for one night only at The Regent Theatre, Commercial Road, Yarram on Saturday, April 30, with doors open from 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door, via trybooking.com/BYHUI or via phone on 0418 585 285.

ONE of the most exciting and acclaimed stage-musicals of recent times is set to make its debut at The Wedge this week. The Sale Theatre Company will be bringing its production of Heathers: The Musical to the venue, marking the first time that the show has played in regional Victoria. Cast member Cass de Lacy-Vawdon described Heathers: The Musical as a show about finding yourself and claiming your story. “Most of us remember the challenges of high school – wanting to fit-in and trying to find your place,” Cass said. “It can be a challenging time socially. “This show takes that idea and pushes it to the extreme.” Heathers: The Musical is based on the non-musical, darkly-comic 1989 film of the same name, which starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. As with its originator, the stage adaptation follows Westerburg High pupils Veronica Sawyer (Georgia Robinson) and Jason "JD" Dean (Riley Richardson) as they seek vengeance on the most popular clique at school, known as the Heathers. First-time director Stacey Richardson is looking forward to bringing the show to local audiences, and said that the excitement from the community about the show has been “absolutely amazing!” “We have spent the past three months rehearsing and forming a really tight-knit group and we love spending time together and are enjoying putting the finishing touches on our show,” Ms Richardson said.

The Heathers in rehearsal. Photo: Niamh Hassett “It has some serious adult themes but amazing songs sung by the most talented and perfectly cast group we could have imagined. “In the end, the message is that we're all damaged, we're all frightened, but we can make it beautiful by being kind and embracing our true selves.” STC’s Heathers: The Musical will begin showing at The Wedge this Thursday, April 28 until Friday, May 6. The production will also have a short run at Traralgon’s Gippsland Performing Arts Centre in June.

Weed warriors of Ensay powering up the paddocks AGRICULTURE Victoria will hold a field day on Friday, April 29 at the new Gippsland Weed Warriors Producer Demonstration Site to discuss strategies for dealing with weeds and managing pastures after fire. The Weed Warrior Producer Demonstration Site at Ensay is one of four sites on host farms in the Upper Murray and Gippsland as part of a producer demonstration project funded until December 2025. The second site in Gippsland is at Clifton Creek and is focusing on Chilean needle grass control in an existing pasture. Agriculture Victoria Livestock Industry

Development Officer Janice Dowe said the Ensay site is focussed on dealing with weed issues postfire, in particular annual grass weeds such as Silver Grass and developing strategies to lift the productivity of pastures. “Each site has a different weed of interest – a woody or pasture weed – and the host farm is the focal point for group discussions on the demonstration site, with regular updates to be provided through field days and media," Ms Dowe said. “As part of the project, a weed management plan will be developed at that site between the farmer, agronomist and discussion group members. “Each host farm will implement their ‘usual

weed control’ practice, with the project funding an enhanced weed control strategy as a comparison.” The aim of the project is to demonstrate to what extent improved weed control and followup management improves both persistence and productivity of newly sown or degraded permanent pastures in fire affected areas. Ms Dowe said the upcoming field day will focus on weed control after fires, how to select pasture species for your property and how to accurately calibrate your spray unit. “These steps will set farmers up for successful pasture management. This is especially important this year, with a summer that has seen ideal

growing conditions and the proliferation of weeds.” Presenters at the field day are Ms Dowe; agronomist at S&W Seed Co, Nicole Frost; and chemical certification trainer Neil Stringer. Topics to be discussed include:  Pastures: perennials vs annuals  Grass and legume options  How to accurately check and calibrate a spray unit – nozzles, pressures, and pumps  Ways to improve spraying effectiveness. The field day will take place on April 29 between 10am-1pm. To express your interest, contact Janice Dowe via phone on 0437 282 315, or via email at janice.dowe@agriculture.vic.gov.au.

Recent heavy rain and flooding in East Gippsland is a timely reminder to landowners to check the safety and integrity of their farm dams. Photo: File

Check out farm dams, landowners are urged RECENT heavy rain and flooding in East Gippsland is a timely reminder to landowners to check the safety and integrity of their farm dams, Southern Rural Water’s manager of Groundwater and Rivers Bryce Morden said. “Already this year, we have seen above average rainfall in East Gippsland causing soaked conditions in the catchments, and significant flooding in the region over the last few weeks,” he said. “Conditions have been closer to average in the state’s west, however as we head into the traditionally wetter autumn and winter periods, it is very important that landowners check the safety of their farm dams.”

Southern Rural Water recommends that landowners regularly check dam walls and dam spillways. Spillways need to be designed to take a one-in100-year flood and must be kept free of obstructions. They should also ensure any compensation or outlet pipes are working effectively. Landholders are urged to inspect dam walls for any signs of leaking, cracking, slippage or erosion and ensure the dam wall is kept clear of trees, shrubs, weeds and livestock, which can cause erosion. “Some landowners in the region have found

out the hard way in recent years that a failed dam is expensive to repair and can deny them a vital source of water when they need it most,” Mr Morden said. “Collapsed dams can also cause significant damage to the environment and to neighbouring downstream properties. If your dam collapses and causes damage to someone else’s property, you may be liable for the costs.” For more information about farm dams, or to report an issue with a farm dam, phone Southern Rural Water on 1300 139 510 or visit www.srw.com.au.

Applications open for dairy study tour an exciting opportunity for young people from across dairy the supply chain. “Across Victoria there are so many diverse dairy businesses that are innovative, well managed and with an eye on growth. The tour provides an opportunity for young people wanting to expand their knowledge and skills to explore the different farming systems, industry structures and service resources this world class industry has to offer,” he said. Successful applicants can expect a comprehensive eight days full of insights and inspiration covering the full range of Victoria’s leading dairy facilities as well as visits to other agricultural industries. There will also be an opportunity to learn about the inner workings of industry advocacy through meetings with senior representatives of the Victorian Farmers Federation and the UDV. Mr Mumford encouraged all those interested

in expanding their industry knowledge to apply quickly. “The tour provides a great opportunity for young people in dairy to expand their professional networks and to directly interact with industry leaders,” he said. “Those who are selected will visit a variety of farms and be taken through state-of-the-art research and processing facilities.” Applications for the Victorian study tour are now open and close at 9am on Monday, May 16. Further details about the tour, including application forms and contact details can be viewed at www.gardinerfoundation.com.au/studytour To be eligible, applicants must be aged between 18 and 35 years, live and work in Victoria, be actively involved in the Victorian dairy industry, either on farm or in the supply chain and be available for travel between July 4-11, 2022.

Bundy Hall to host screening of the film Regenerating Australia JOIN Maffra and Districts Landcare Network on the Friday, April 29 at the Bundy Hall to view the short film Regenerating Australia. The film has been produced by the creative team of the award-winning film 2040. This will be followed by a panel discussion and a guest speaker on the topic of landscape restoration and wildlife support in Gippsland, chaired by Darren McCubbin. To ensure everyone’s safety current COVID-19 rules apply.

MANAGING the impacts of erosion after bushfires, severe storms and floods will be discussed at an on-farm event in the Gippsland high country at Hinnomunjie tomorrow. This event will discuss options for managing the impacts of erosion on farm dams and tracks as well as the inevitable run-off of sediment into farm dams that can follow bushfire, severe storm events and floods. Gippsland Agriculture Recovery Manager Darren Hickey said in recent years the region had been hit by the impacts of bushfire, and severe storms and floods coming off the back of a lengthy drought. “Soil erosion and the associated movement of sediment into water storages is a common occurrence following bushfires and floods," he said. “Erosion impacts on dams can be quite devastating and can sometimes result in dam walls being breached and dams overflowing. “This on-farm activity aims to assist producers in developing strategies that will help them manage these impacts on their properties." Agriculture Victoria land management officers Kerri Goschnick and Brad Costin will lead the discussion and share their collective expertise in managing surface water runoff, soil degradation and conservation.

On-farm event at Hinnomunjie

THE rising price of agricultural land has made succession planning more important than ever, and for some families, this issue is more complex. Agriculture business consultant Paul Blackshaw said the rise in farm values has increased interest in the family farm, and in some cases from family members who once weren’t interested in the business, but now see the increasing value in farm assets. “Dividing the farm so that everyone gets what they need is becoming increasingly challenging,” Mr Blackshaw, from Meridian Agriculture said. “Even when families have planned well and invested off-farm or in shares to provide for non-farming members of the family, these assets haven’t increased in value as much as the farm.” To support families to navigate the succession planning process, Agriculture Victoria is presenting a series of three one-hour webinar workshops presented by Mr Blackshaw along with succession planning specialist Mike Stephens. The webinar workshop series address the issues involved in a succession plan and take participants through the steps to develop a plan. “Communication is really important,” Mr Blackshaw said. “The task here is to keep everyone talking for the best chance of resolving the issues so everyone can live with the decision. “At one end of the spectrum is to give everything to the farming children and nothing to everyone else, and at the other is to split everything evenly. Families need to find where they sit on this spectrum.” The workshop series is free and available for 20 people. Fire-affected landholders in North East Victoria and East Gippsland are encouraged to register for this program. Registration is restricted to 20 people. A free one-on-one session with Meridian Ag is also available to those who attend at least two webinars. Register at: https://succession-planningessentials.eventbrite.com.au.

Demons delighted Liam Durkin

YARRAM returned the biggest talking point in Round 3 of North Gippsland football. The Demons prevailed over neighbouring rival Woodside, defeating the Wildcats on their home deck 8.10 (58) to 7.9 (51). After looking somewhat at sea in their loss to Yallourn Yallourn North on Good Friday, Yarram put that performance to rest with what could well be the best win the Demons have had since the 2018 grand final. By their own admission, Yarram is well down on personnel this season, having lost high calibre players like Boadie Motton to the SANFL and David Brinker-Ritchie to the VFL, and has been forced to play players who, in the greatest respect, were struggling at times to get a game in the reserves last season. With this in mind, for the Demons to roll Woodside, a team some have tipped to win the premiership, speaks volumes of the winning culture established at Yarram. The Demons added three goals in the last quarter to win, following an arm wrestle of a contest that saw the biggest margin at any of the breaks just six points. The Yarram defence was resolute, allowing the Wildcats to kick just five behinds in the last quarter when the game was at its hottest. In the eyes of most the Demons still had enough quality leading into this season to win as many games as it lost, but a win over an opponent such as Woodside may prove quite telling when the ladder starts to take shape in the next four to five weeks. Tyler Chisholm was best for the winners, while Jacob Davis, Dan Vardy, Shem Rendell, Matt Clavarino and Trek Davis also played well. Will Broadbent, Rowan Missen, Tom King, Josh Scott, Nick Stockdale and Joh Fythe did the job for Woodside. Projecting further ahead, the victory might even serve Yarram well in years to come. If the players they have now are capable of a performance like that, just think what a frightening proposition it would be if all those with connections to Yarram came back to play. If one club has connections it is Yarram. It would nearly be RIP competition if Nathan Vardy returned home to play alongside his brothers, even more so if they had Kyle Dunkley in the midfield and Jed Lamb up forward. Add to that Motton (who has family in the area), Brinker-Ritchie, Chris Coulthard and Liam Farley if or when they

decide to return from Traralgon, there is the makings of a seriously strong North Gippy side. SALE City raised a few eyebrows after accounting for Rosedale. The Bulldogs overcame a gallant Blues outfit to win 13.10 (88) to 10.14 (74) at Stephenson Park. The result offered a stark contrast - great for Sale City, potentially disastrous for Rosedale. Sale City, who remained something of an unknown quantity leading into the season, have started with two wins from as many games. The win over the Blues will give them serious street credit, and ensure all opposing teams enter matches against the Bulldogs without any great reassurance of achieving victory. An accurate Sale City kicked nine straight to half-time, and responded to a third quarter rally from Rosedale to then kick three goals and keep the Blues to just two points in the last. Sam Davidson kicked five goals for the Bulldogs and was listed in the best, as was Jaxsyn Whitehill, Tom Bowman, Blake Safstrom, Brayden Macgregor-Davies and Hudson Tollner. Best for Rosedale was Jason Garrett, Luke Stuckey, Rohan Hildebrand, Riley Atlee, Joel Bristow and Nathan Flint. Rosedale is yet to win a game, although admittedly, has had a very tough draw, playing YYN and Woodside in the first two rounds and has not been totally disgraced in any match so far. The Blues have Heyfield this week, and looking at the draw, could easily win their next five games. YALLOURN Yallourn North added to their percentage with a triple-figure win over Glengarry. The Jets celebrated the opening of their new netball courts as a club, as the senior football team completed an 18.14 (122) to 3.4 (22) rout in a twilight fixture. YYN put the game to rest at half-time when it led by 67 points. The Magpies put numbers behind the ball in the third to stem the bleeding in what became a bit of a dull exhibition of kick-tokick between the two teams. The Jets broke the damn wall in the last, kicking six goals, one of which was kicked by debutant Bailey Brown, who was duly mobbed by teammates after it went through. In what is always a special moment when someone plays their first game, Brown was

presented his jumper by YYN legend Brad Paulet. Dean MacDonald and Keenan Hughes kicked 10 goals between them to be named best. Others to perform well were Jai Massese, Dylan Bath, Mitchell Luck and Darcy Shellcott. As an aside, perhaps it is just this writer reading too much into it, but YYN players all had smiles from ear-to-ear as they ran out for the second half. Football is a game meant to be enjoyed after all. Travis Patten, Alex Bermingham, Nic Quenault, Seth Healy and Jack Burgess battled hard for Glengarry. CHURCHILL continued its scoring blitz. On the hit list this week was Cowwarr, who saw the Cougars send through 29.23 (197) at home in what resulted in a 168 point shellacking as the Saints only managed 4.5 (29). Churchill has ruthlessly piled on the pain for opponents so far this season, and kept those running the scoreboard very busy, In three games this season the Cougars have kicked 19, 41 and 29 goals for a total of 89, to go with a grand total of 89.61 (595). Ben Kearns might already have enough goals to sustain a lead to the end of the season, and kicked 14 last weekend to take his tally to 30. A dozen players got on the scoresheet for Churchill, who had seven goals on the board in the first term. Hayden Weir, Christopher Williams, Ryan Lowrie, Bailey Flanigan and Angus Mitchell won the votes for their efforts in the win. Unfortunately for Cowwarr they gave milestone man Shane Morgan a game to remember for all the wrong reasons in his 300th. The Saints legend featured in the best players, alongside Brett Grieve, Kyle Stamers, Ben Coffey, Jack Casson and Nick Wozniak. POOR old Gormandale suffered another hammering blow. The Tigers had no answers to the might of Traralgon Tyers United, going down 32.19 (211) to 3.4 (22). TTU showed no mercy at home, and had 169 points up by three quarter time. Liam Willaton, Tom Fleming, Dailan Navaskas, Stuart Goddard, Lincoln Albanese and Trent Hourigan did the job for the Bombers. Kodie Owen, Will Flanagan, Liam Deering, Al Jenkin and Matt O’Toole fought the good fight for the Tigers. HEYFIELD had the bye.

First loss for Eagles Liam Durkin

THE formative stages of the Gippsland League continued in Round 3. Rivalry round showcased a number of marquee clashes across the weekend that saw two matches played on Sunday. At a time of year where results tend to fluctuate, there was one constant, and that was the might and standing of Leongatha. The Parrots took care of another predicted finalist with relative ease, again sending an ominous message to the rest of the competition. Granted the season is only three weeks old, Leongatha appears to be the Bradman of Gippsland League teams - they are so far ahead you don’t even bother comparing them to anyone. SALE got its first win of the season on the board. The Magpies returned from Bairnsdale with the four points after recording a 14.11 (95) to 9.7 (61) victory. Sale led at every change, but had to fight off a persistent Bairnsdale who refused to lay down. The Magpies kicked four goals in three of the quarters to maintain their lead, with senior games record holder Chris Laverty nabbing three. Others to hit the scoreboard with multiples were coach Jack Johnstone, Shannen Lange and Mitch Bown. Best for Sale was Jayden Allison, Lachlan Todd, Mitch Thacker, Will Leslie, Blayke Lane and Laverty. The result leaves Bairnsdale stranded on zero wins. Away from the senior match, the depth of Sale looks to be greatly improved this season, as does the investment into those on the fringes of first grade selection. With five time Sale senior best-and-fairest winner Shane Fyfe playing in the reserves recently, one can only imagine the education a player of his experience is able to impart on young players out on the ground. The man known as ‘Five Time Fyfe’, who is also the current senior assistant coach as well as a former Sale senior coach, said it was good to tuck the first win away. “We had to dig deep and to get the first win for the season is pleasing,” he said. “It was a big couple of weeks on the track after the Leongatha game, we corrected a few

different things the way we want to play.” MAFFRA suffered its first loss of the season. The Eagles went down in a match that never really reached any great heights against Moe at Ted Summerton Reserve, losing 10.9 (69) to 3.14 (32). Both teams exchanged periods of dominance in the first quarter, before Moe established a three goal buffer in the second. The Lions built on this for the rest of the game, and found life became much easier once they identified what tempo to play at after half-time. Not a great deal transpired in the second half, and at times the game turned into glorified kick-to-kick between the arcs. Jacob Wood was voted best for the victors, along with Declan Keilty, Scott Van Dyk, Harri Sim, Jacob Balfour and Jordan Ceppi. Ed Carr and Kade Renooy had plenty of touches for Maffra, as did Hudson Holmes. James Read, Harry Gravener and James Huts also played well. A scare went through the Eagles camp after Daniel Bedggood was slow to get up following a contest just before the final siren. While it did not look too serious, Maffra will surely be monitoring his situation closely. If ever there was an indication as to what the difference is between the major Gippsland League and surrounding minor leagues, it was surely seen by the fact Maffra had Jordan and Josh Stubbe both playing in the reserves. The pair have been top line senior players in North Gippsland and East Gippsland teams, with Josh having a NGNFL senior best-and-fairest to his name. TRADITIONAL rivals Traralgon and Morwell faced off on Sunday. The match was played at Morwell and won by Traralgon 14.13 (97) to 6.13 (49). The game was also the WorkSafe Victoria Game of the Month. WorkSafe used the day to celebrate 21 years as naming right sponsor of local football. Western Bulldogs premiership hero Tom Boyd was a special guest at Morwell and spoke to dignitaries of both clubs at half-time. As part of Game of the Month billing, Boyd trained with Traralgon during the week. The man who sealed the Bulldogs fairytale flag in 2016 looked every bit the hulk of a key position player one would expect, and

was certainly befitting of the colloquial term ‘big boy’. The match itself saw Morwell take an 18-point lead into quarter time. The Tigers got off to a flyer, kicking four goals to one to take the early running. Traralgon appeared undeterred at quarter time, and hit back with three goals in relatively quick succession to start the second. From there, the game became a stalemate and the half-time siren signalled things were all tied up at 4.6 (30) apiece. The Maroons made some structural changes at the main break which went on to have a significant say in the result. Running machine Haydn Hector tagged Boyd Bailey, and playing coach Jake Best injected himself into the midfield. The presence of Best gave the Maroons some grunt in the contest, and also freed up Mark Collison who was able to find width on stoppage exit to give the side some clean looks going forward. Collison had 14 disposals in the third quarter alone and Traralgon broke the game open with seven goals to one to take an 11.7 (73) to 5.9 (39) lead at three quarter time. Facing a 34 point deficit at the last change, Morwell players were instructed to break the equation down and approach the final quarter in five minute blocks. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Traralgon kicked a goal 20 seconds into the last courtesy of a Luis D’Angelo soccer. This effectively killed the contest and saw the Maroons carry their momentum all the way to the end. Traralgon defender Tye Hourigan played a great game, rebounding the ball on many occasions, and was presented with a best on ground medal from AFL Victoria football manager Richard Black for his efforts in the marquee game. Others to play well in the win were D’Angelo, Matt Northe, Harvey Neocleous, Conor Little and Hector. Best for Morwell was Max Linton, Dan Musil, Tristen Waack and Sam Walsh. Traralgon will now need to recover quickly from a six-day break heading into its next match against Moe. ELSEWHERE, Drouin dispatched Warragul in the Western Derby 11.9 (75) to 3.11 (29) and Leongatha sent a fierce statement to its competitors after rolling Wonthaggi on their home deck by 36 points.

Mixed fortunes for local duo Liam Durkin

MORWELL maintained its stronghold in Round 3 of Gippsland League netball. The Tigers won a hotly-fought contest against Traralgon 41 to 36. Taking visiting team status but playing on their home court, Morwell proved to have enough answers on the day. Courtney Garth collected accolades for best on court, and was presented with an oversized but never the less impressive cardboard sign for her efforts. Those with a historic knowledge of netball in Gippsland might be hard pressed to find a local player who has won more club best-and-fairests than Garth, whose name seems to take up most of the section dedicated to best-and-fairest winners on the netball honour board in the Morwell rooms. The Tigers have now accounted for Valley rivals on either side of its location, having taken care of Moe a fortnight ago. While it is early in the season, Morwell looks very much the team to beat. The match against Leongatha in two weeks’ time looms as a good gauge on just how strong the Tigers line-up is. Moe had little trouble defeating Maffra. The Lions won easily at Ted Summerton Reserve 63 to 38. Alex Moody was judged best on court, while younger sister Georgia shot 34 goals and Macy Gardiner also played well for the Lions. Playing coach Ramayer Gourley spent some time under the ring, switching from her usual posting in defence and shot 27 majors. Maffra opposite number Emma Allman battled hard for the Eagles and was named best along with Nat Allman and Jas Hennig. Abbey Pleydell led the scoring for Maffra with 20. Sale got its first win of the season on the board. The Magpies proved too strong for Bairnsdale, winning 45 to 33. Sale would have been pleased to not only get the win but to also return from the toughest road trip in the Gippsland League with the four points. Other winners from Round 3 were Warragul, who got up in a thriller against Drouin 47 to 45, and Leongatha who broke away to defeat Wonthaggi 59 to 42. GLENGARRY remains unbeaten after three rounds of North Gippsland netball.

The Magpies defeated Yallourn Yallourn North last week, getting the job done 48 to 29. Glengarry spoilt the Jets party to an extent, as the latter was celebrating the opening of their new courts. That being said, players from both teams can now say they played in the first ever A Grade match on the new courts. Trish Chapman and Paige Roberts played solid games for YYN and received plaudits for being first and second best on. Sale City perhaps made the biggest statement, taking down Rosedale by 24 goals. The Bulldogs had winners in every third, and maintained their perfect start to the season with a complete performance over proven opposition. Woodside also remains unbeaten, with its latest scalp neighbouring rival Yarram. The Wildcats won a closely fought contest 51 to 41. Gormandale had reason to celebrate after defeating TTU. The Tigers and Bombers had supporters on the edge of their seats as the game was decided by just two goals. Gormandale had their noses in front 34 to 32 at the final whistle. Churchill and Cowwarr played out a good game, with the result going to the Cougars thanks to a 38 to 35 win.

STRATFORD was unable to overcome Wy Yung in East Gippsland netball. The Swans lost to the Tigers 49 to 36. Stratford has now lost its last two games to sit with a 1-2 record after three rounds. There was no score from the Boisdale-Briagolong versus Lindenow game available at time of press.

MAX’S LOCAL BOUT STRATFORD boxer Max Reeves will headline a local fight this July. The 21-year-old will step into the ring at the Gippsland Regional Sports Complex, Sale for an event by local promoter WildFighter. Reeves has continued to take huge strides in his short Super Middleweight career, highlighted by recent victories on the pro circuit, including one against UFC veteran Ross Pearson. Since debuting in late 2019, Reeves has had five professional bouts and won four. His crushing victory over Pearson saw his opponent suffer a technical knockout in the first round, while his most recent fight saw arguably an even greater performance. Up against Adelaide-based Antonio Caruso, who went into the fight with a 4-1 boxing and 8-1 record in mixed martial arts, Reeves was not deterred, winning on unanimous decision. Coached by Paul ‘Turk’ Carroll out of East Coast Boxing Club in Bairnsdale, Carroll has been impressed by Reeves’ dedication and commitment to the sport, which sees him combine work in his day job work with training most night’s of the week. Reeves will fight in Sale on Saturday, July 2.

STRATFORD paid the price for giving Wy Yung a five-goal head start. The visiting Tigers slammed on six goals to one in the first quarter, and a further six goals to three in the second to take a 53-point lead into the main break. Things did not get much better for the Swans, who went into the last break staring down the barrel of a 50-point deficit. Stratford salvaged a bit of pride in the last term, kicking two goals and only allowing Wy Yung to register four points, but by that stage the damage had well and truly been done. Brodie Anderson and Brad Daniel each kicked four in the win for Wy Yung, while Luke Elia and Aaron Hanuera were voted best on ground. Best for Stratford was Regan Tait, Ryan Thatcher, Mitch Hawkins, Nick French, Andrew Scott and Alex Morcom.

SOME tight margins featured in other matches. Paynesville won by 13 points against Lucknow. The Gulls did enough to win 9.10 (64) to 7.9 (51) on the road. Lakes Entrance got back on the winners’ list, defeating Orbost Snowy Rovers 12.17 (89) to 8.6 (54) on the Blues home deck. Lindenow and Wy Yung remain unbeaten, followed by Paynesville and Lakes Entrance on the league ladder. Stratford sits a game out of the top four.

BOISDALE-Briagolong suffered a similar fate at the hands of Lindenow. The Bombers gave up six goals in the first term, and found themselves playing catch-up from there. The Cats virtually put their players on ice after half-time, only adding three more goals, at which time the result was beyond doubt. Lindenow made sure it was a long trip back to Boisdale for the Bombers, who lost 13.15 (93) to 5.7 (37) and are still yet to register their first victory in 2022. Better players in the loss were Jonty Landy, Gus Leemon, Declan Scriven, Tyson Daly, Ryan Marshall and Brendon Rathnow. Patrick Alexander, Jack van Reyk and Bayley Croucher were outstanding for Lindenow.
