An influx of visitors Stefan Bradley
DESPITE the Omicron COVID surge, tourism operators have experienced a welcome flurry of holiday bookings right through January. Seaspray Caravan Park manager Kim Courtney said she had bookings all the way to mid-January. “It’s exciting, people really need this holiday — I need this holiday,” Kim said. “We’re always going to be busy during Christmas time.” Kim said holidayers had already begun arriving for long stays mid-last week, ahead of the post-Christmas influx taking place now. And she hoped that despite the continuing uncertainty around COVID, people would have a great time. “Let’s bring the optimism back, get everybody happy,” she said. Kim said there were lots of activities for people to do in Seaspray, including kayaking, bike-riding, tennis, fishing and playing on the beach. “We’ve got the general store, the bar at the surf club, you’ve got food vans coming into town,” she said. “We’ve got this amazing energy in the town — 2022 is looking pretty special.” People can also look forward to Australian country music singer and songwriter Andrew Swift performing in Seaspray on January 5, from 7pm. “Usually the musicians play in the caravan park, but we’ve put him on the foreshore so everyone can enjoy his music.” Kim said interstate travellers usually came round Easter and the middle of the year, but the Christmas period brought mostly Victorians. “We’ve got people coming in from Melbourne, Geelong, Daylesford,” she said, “they travel a long way to come here”. In Loch Sport, agent Renee Potts from Cshell Real Estate said bookings had returned to pre-COVID levels. “I’ve still got people trying to get accommodation for the New Year’s period,” she said. “Our bookings really took off when Melbourne came out of that last lockdown. “I guess it was that reassurance that, fingers crossed, we wouldn’t be going into another one. “We’re pretty much booked out all the way out to mid-January Continued page 2

Rapid antigen tests still available locally
Is your community group doing good things? Give your volunteers the recognition they deserve.
WITH COVID-19 PCR testing queues across the state exploding to capacity and other testing sites closed during the Christmas-New Year break, rapid antigen tests can be used as an alternative in some circumstances. The tests can be undertaken at home and are available to buy in supermarkets, pharmacies and online stores. Rapid antigen tests can have the results within 20 minutes, but do not replace the more accurate PCR tests. Local stockists are reporting they do have rapid antigen tests on the shelves for customers. Ritchies IGA, Sale, manager Anthony Kircos said there was plenty of stock in-store, with multiple types of nasal swab tests available. “Stock has been pretty steady,” he said.

Tummy bug is doing the rounds across the state AS viral gastroenteritis cases rise in Victorian early childhood education and care services, authorities advise the best defence is handwashing with soap and water. There have been 56 outbreaks in Victorian childcare centres since the beginning of November, compared with 19 during the same period last year. Another outbreak of viral gastro earlier this year after a COVID easing resulted in 389 outbreaks in childcare up to the end of April — four times higher than the average for that time of year. The state’s Chief Health Officer, Professor Brett Sutton, said childcare workers, children and their families could all help to limit the spread of the virus. He said children needed to be taught and reminded of the need for handwashing, and families needed to keep ill children home from early childhood services until 48 hours after they recovered. “Gastroenteritis can spread quickly through
settings such as early childhood education and care services, where children play and interact closely with each other and can readily spread their bugs,” Professor Sutton said. “Camps and other activities where children congregate also provide conditions where bugs can be passed on. “It is important that early childhood services have good hygiene practices in place and to respond quickly with thorough cleaning if any children become ill.” Professor Sutton said handwashing with soap and water was still the best personal hygiene method to minimize the chance of spreading the virus. He said that while alcohol-based sanitizer was at the front line in tackling coronavirus, it was much less effective against bugs such as norovirus, which were the predominant cause of the current childcare outbreaks. Viral gastroenteritis is highly infectious.

From page 1 at this stage, including long-stays with tenants or back-to-back accommodation. “I think people are starting to get back to a bit of normality, so it’s similar to what we’ve seen in previous years before 2019.” Renee said nearly all bookings were coming from within the state, mostly from Melbourne. In terms of the workforce, she said Loch Sport needed more cleaners and gardeners. “Holiday letting down here is very common _ you’re finding that almost every second house is up for holiday let,” she said. “Come summer time, they’re pretty much all booked out, so the cleaners have to take on only what they are capable of doing, with back-to-back stays during this time. “The local cleaners that we employ, we know they’re run off their feet. “A lot of people will employ gardeners at this time to keep on top of things, especially with the bushfire notices from the council.” Kim said Seaspray Caravan Park had no issues with worker shortages. “We’ve got a team that is second to none,” she said. “They’re brilliant, they love it, they keep it clean and they make it happen.”

Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, abdominal pain, headache and muscle aches. They can take up to three days to develop and usually last between one or two days, sometimes longer. In rare cases it can develop into much more serious illness. Infants or children in early childhood services, as well as staff who develop vomiting or diarrhoea, should stay at home for at least 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped. If symptoms are severe or they persist, people should see a GP for advice and testing. People recovering from gastroenteritis should avoid visiting hospitals, early childhood services and aged care facilities to avoid spreading the infection to those most vulnerable. Any person living in a household with someone who has gastroenteritis should refrain from visiting these high-risk facilities until at least 48 hours after the last person in the household has recovered.

Blow for timber families “If we don’t have our own domestic hardwood timber industry, Australia will have to import wood from countries whose forests are at high risk of illegal logging and deforestation — everything environmental activists say they stand against.”
— Senator for Victoria Bridget McKenzie

groups, instead of closing loopholes in the Code of Practice for Timber Production. “As the court system is closed for holidays, haulage and harvest contractors will be out of work and mills starved of wood supply,” she said. “It will be a bleak Christmas for our regional timber workers and their families.” Ms Bath said with no hope of an appeal before well into 2022, she had written to Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas to demand the immediate release of windrow timber in the Wombat State Forest for emergency harvesting to keep some crews in work. Federal Senator for Victoria Bridget McKenzie described the latest ruling as “tumultuous, causing stress and confusion for the men and women who work in one of our nation’s most sustainable industries”. “The impacts of this decision will be far-reaching, affecting supply chains that use products made from sustainably produced native hardwood, such as freight pallets which are already in short supply. “Already there are severe supply shortages in the building industry — and this decision will only exacerbate this. “Now we have VicForests’ harvest crews being stood down as there simply are not enough areasto
harvest. “The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that we need to build our sovereign capacity to produce and manufacture goods right here at home, and that we cannot rely solely on international manufacturing. “If we don’t have our own domestic hardwood timber industry, Australia will have to import wood from countries whose forests are at high risk of illegal logging and deforestation — everything environmental activists say they stand against. “By not backing our forest industry and allowing continued green lawfare to play out in the Victorian court system, the Andrews’ government’s inaction means our hardwood supply will run out once the remaining 20 per cent of coupes are out of timber. “This will see businesses throughout the supply pipeline, such as timber mills shutting down production in early 2022.” The state government announced it would ban the native timber industry by 2030. In announcing the ban, the state government said the industry would have continued supply of native timber to 2024, then supply levels will step down until ending in 2030. A competitive process will be used to allocate timber from mid-2024 until 2030, when commercial harvesting in public native forests will then end. Earlier this year, a Public Accounts and Estimates Committee hearing revealed new plantations promised by the state government in 2017 won’t be in the ground until winter 2022. Of the 7.8 million hectares of public native forest in Victoria, more than 94 per cent is in reserve or inaccessible, meaning the timber industry has access to less than six per cent, harvested on an 80-year rotation. Each year, four trees in every 10,000 are logged, and by law, regenerated.

LOCAL police are currently in force across Wellington Shire, conducting Operations Roadwise and Esky. On Christmas Eve, police from Sale, Rosedale, Wellington Highway Patrol conducted a random breath test site in Sale. Out of 283 tests conducted, police detected one unlicensed, drugged driver, one drink driver and one unregistered vehicle. Along the coast, police have increased their presence in holiday areas to help prevent theft. During daylight and twilight hours, Loch Sport, Golden Beach and Paradise Beach residents will see more police patrolling to deter and apprehend offenders committing thefts from caravan and tourist parks. They encourage people to help them by keeping valuable items locked up, and locking vehicles to deter would-be thieves. The operation will run through to Friday.

Those who buy or receive a gift that turns out to be faulty are entitled to a repair. If the item can’t be fixed, the consumer is entitled to a refund or replacement, even if it was bought on sale or online. Consumers may still need to prove where the gift was bought to receive a refund or replacement, so they should keep receipts or other proof-ofpurchase documents. Consumers should be aware that although individual store policies may differ, retail outlets do not have the automatic right to return a product if they simply change their mind, ordered the wrong product, or find a better product elsewhere – so people should choose their bargains wisely. With the economic effects of coronavirus still hitting hard, it’s more important than ever for shoppers to make sure they’re familiar with store policies, just in case something goes wrong. Those who do run into an issue when attempting to return an item not fit for purpose and cannot resolve the issue with the retailer should visit the Consumer Affairs Victoria website for advice at www.consumer.vic.gov.au, or phone 1300 55 81 81.

Cowwarr Weir reopens after flood damage COWWARR Weir reopened on Christmas Eve, after significant damage caused by June’s floods closed the site. Southern Rural Water’s headworks operations manager, Ed Smith, said the June floods caused considerable damage to the waterway, roads and recreational facilities after more than 250 tonnes of material and 170 tonnes of timber washed up at the weir. “Southern Rural Water has worked hard to repair the damage and we are pleased to announce the weir will reopen,” Mr Smith said. “We’ve spent the last six months undertaking significant works to make the waterways and recreational facility safe for public use.” The water authority warned the picnic grounds and recreation areas would look a little different to the past, as the recreational facilities were affected by the significant flood, where 70 billion litres of water passed through the weir in a single day. Christmas Eve marked an important milestone in the recovery of the iconic recreational facility, with more works scheduled in early 2022 to further improve community facilities while the weir remains open to the public. Southern Rural Water is asking visitors to be patient while it completes repairs in 2022.

PEOPLE are being reminded of their consumer rights as thousands head to the shops to take advantage of post-Christmas sales. The warning comes after Consumer Affairs Victoria received more than 5000 contacts related to refund and return rights in the past financial year, compared to more than 4000 during 2019-20 and more than 2000 in 2018-19. Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Melissa Horne said everyone loved a bargain, but it was important people knew their rights before hitting the shops. “If your purchase is faulty, you can still return it – sale items come with the same refund rights as full price goods,” she said. “This has been another tough year for both consumers and retailers, so it’s important everyone familiar with the policies when shopping this sales season to avoid a deal turning to disappointment.” Jessica from Neerim South contacted Consumer Affairs Victoria for advice after she purchased a dress from an online store during lockdown.

THE local native hardwood forest industry was thrown into further uncertainty just three days before Christmas, following last week’s decision by the state Supreme Court. Justice Melinda Richards ruled no harvesting can occur where greater gliders have been sighted. The court order cites that any coupe with one or more greater glider sightings, or coupe that has had a greater glider observed within 240 metres, will be shut down. In making the decision, Justice Richards said the risk of harming greater glider possums “outweighs” disrupting the timber industry. Timber industry representatives say this will mean almost every coupe will be shut down, estimating up to 80 per cent of VicForests’ native hardwood coupes across the Central Highlands and east Gippsland will be affected. Local politicians have also slammed the decision, which is likely to shut down the majority of timber harvesting across the state. Gippsland East MLA Tim Bull said the industry previously surveyed coupes and implemented buffer zones before harvesting occurred, but the decision left them with no room to move. “As if we haven’t been through enough without this kick in the head,” he said. “There are flaws in the Timber Code of Practice that should have been fixed.” Mr Bull asked for someone to explain where hardwood timber would come from when the native hardwood sector is closed down, adding opponents often called for closure of the sector, but had no answers as to where timber would be sourced from. “On one hand, we have Planet Ark telling us to ‘do the world some good by using wood’ as a building material, as it is renewable and sustainable, and as result market demand for hardwood is growing,” he said. “The Labor government talks about transitioning to plantation by 2030 but the timber takes 30 to 40 plus years to mature, so those plantations should be 20 years old now, but they do not exist in this state. “Hardwood plantations are also not conducive to private investment due to the delay in return and sovereign risk around fire – it just makes no sense. “Next thing the minister will have protestors on the steps of parliament because we are importing from countries with far less oversight and killing orangutans.” Eastern Victoria MLC Melina Bath added the “root of the ruination” was the state government working hand in glove with third party litigator

Yacht more could you want but to sail on a paddock? WHEN Rod Stewart was singing his worldfamous hit Sailing, he probably wasn’t thinking about a jaunt across a paddock. But that’s exactly what Loch Sport resident Chris Hunter had in mind when he noticed, to his delight, that recent rains had topped up paddocks in Longford, just past the Swing Bridge. Keen to go sailing, “round up fish instead of cattle” and “check the fences”, the experienced and keen sailor roped in his mate Tony Maio, also from Loch Sport. Tony took care of many of the logistics, also acting as filmmaker and photographer, while Chris bathed in the glory of gliding effortlessly across a paddock — in a boat. “Lot’s of people were driving past and tooting,” Chris said. No doubt they were surprised at seeing a 12-foot catamaran in a spot normally grazed by beef cattle. “It was purely a bit of fun — to sail on a paddock,” Chris said, quite satisfied with his day out on the water, and possibly ticking off a bucket-list item. The catamaran is one of Chris’ seven boats. “This is the little one,” he said. — Julianne Langshaw

Lack of funding for new Men’s Shed
MAFFRA Men’s Shed is in crisis. The community group may not have a home when its lease runs out next year. Aiming to fund and construct a new building in the southern portion of the RV site on Johnson St, the Men’s Shed is struggling to get the money together that it needs. Currently based out of the Gippsland Water building in Laura St, the Men’s Shed was notified by Gippsland Water in mid-2020 it would need to vacate the premises by the end of 2022. The group was given a parcel of land by Wellington Shire Council, and is now aiming to fund and build a new multi-purpose facility, with support from the state government. When the land was given to the Men’s Shed, council encouraged members to create a community hub for other groups in Maffra. The shed’s members agreed, and engaged a range of user groups — including Maffra CWA, Maffra Angling Club, Maffra Lions Club and McMillan Rockhounds — for the ‘Maffra Community Group Activity Hub’. The Maffra Men’s Shed committee re-approached the council in October asking for a share of the federal government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program — which council successfully secured — to build a new facility. The group was told by council officers the funding would not be provided to the hub, as projects had already been identified and were scheduled to be ratified at the council meeting on December 7. Men’s Shed president Jim King attended the meeting to encourage council to defer approval, to ensure all projects met the criteria for the federal funding.

Next phase of hunting plan is released THE state government has announced the next phase of its Sustainable Hunting Action Plan 2021-2024, saying it would “support the state’s 60,000 licenced game hunters, improve animal welfare and help facilitate important research”. The four-year plan has been backed by $5.3 million in state government funding. The government is providing $1 million to increase the role of traditional owners in managing the land where hunting takes place. This funding will be provided to implement the Traditional Owner Game Management Strategy, which was a key achievement of the most recent Sustainable Hunting Action Plan. New grants for community initiatives will be available under the strategy to fund a range of activities such as regional game food events, habitat restoration and conservation projects, hunter education and research. The strategy also outlines the need for better access to information about hunting locations by enhancing the More to Explore App, as well as new education programs through online learning modules and improving animal welfare through wounding reduction action plans. Game licence holders added an estimated $356 million to the Victorian economy in 2019, supporting about 3100 full-time-equivalent jobs. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said safe, responsible and sustainable game hunting made an important contribution to the regional economy. “I’m excited to see the Traditional Owner Game Management Strategy being put into practice – it offers opportunities for Aboriginal communities to manage Country while sharing their traditional values and practices,” she said. Strategy project control group chair, Rodney Carter, said it was “great to see the government
search for a vacant building to occupy,” Cr Bye said. “Not satisfied with anything pre-existing in Maffra, they then decided to build a new shed, but needed land, which council helped facilitate. “Maffra has a number of existing community facilities that require council attention, which is why the building of a new Maffra Men’s Shed rated low on council’s priority list in the latest round of Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Projects funding of which Mr King has requested an allocation. “The state government funds Men’s Sheds, and the Maffra Men’s Shed has already been granted $80,000 through a fund for this exact purpose.” However, Mr King argues the shed’s $80,000 state government grant is well short of the $450,000 required for the new site and all of its user groups. “It’s for five user groups and of all ages,” Mr King said. Maffra Men’s Shed will have to fight for funding through grants, as well as trying to raise money through sausage sizzles and raffles, before they are required to leave their current site. The group has created a Gofundme page in an attempt to raise money, and people can donate at https://gofund.me/00fea672
Men’s Sheds provide a place where retired men can feel included and safe, with the aim to improve the health and wellbeing of members, as well as giving them an opportunity to help out the community. The Maffra Men’s Shed regularly contributes to community events, often completely voluntarily. Each year, the group saves Wellington Shire an estimated $40,000 when it volunteers at events. — Josh Farrell

Koalas are on the move
THE Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has confirmed some Gippsland koalas are being translocated to South Australia. In a statement, it said The Conservation Regulator had received an application to translocate koalas from the wild in Victoria to captivity in South Australia to increase genetic diversity of the disease-free captive population. It said a permit was approved “with strict conditions to ensure the highest standards of koala welfare are maintained during capture and transport”, adding the permit was approved after receiving advice from scientific experts. The Strzelecki koala population has higher genetic diversity than other Victorian koala populations and is thought to be a remnant population that was largely unaffected by the koala reintroduction programs undertaken from the 1920s. Given the higher levels of genetic diversity, this population may have a greater ability to adapt to future environmental pressures, such as climate change, and conservation of the population and its genetic diversity is of high importance. Earlier this month, Friends of the Earth said it was concerned that an “unspecified number” of young male Strzelecki koalas will be soon on their way to South Australia “as part of a breeding program aimed at saving the species”. While the organisation said the plan may appear to have merit, it had concerns that were not addressed in the “vague details” about the plan. It said there had been no support from the federal government, Victorian government or South Australian government to support long-term
An unknown number of Strzelecki koalas are being translocated to South Australia to boost genetic diversity there. protection for the Strzelecki koalas in either the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act or the Victorian Wildlife Act. Strzelecki koalas therefore had limited protection provisions. A Friends of the Earth spokesperson said there was also no information provided about where the animals would be sourced, other than “the Victorian koalas will be taken from a private forest
plantation under an agreement between the two state governments”. It added Hancock Victorian Plantations owned about 50 per cent of known Strzelecki koala habitat. “Depending on where the animals are sourced from, this could have large impacts regionally if the animals will all be sourced from a single location or in locations where koala numbers are already very low,” the spokesperson said. “The Strzelecki koala population is probably as low as 1500 to 2000 animals, but no-one knows exactly how many animals remain.” Victoria is the only state on the east coast of Australia with a koala population that isn’t listed as vulnerable by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee. Scientists from the Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Researchhave developed the first state-wide koala abundance model for Victoria. The model estimated a state-wide koala population of 459,865, with an estimated 412,948 koalas in native forest and woodland and a further 46,917 koalas in eucalypt plantations. The Gippsland region had the second highest koala population estimate across the state, with 75,134 koalas in native forest and 1462 koalas in plantations. More information about the koala abundance model is available on the DELWP website at www.

Questions from the Gippsland Times asking how many koalas were being removed, where exactly they would be going, whether removal had already begun (and how long it would continue) and how the koalas would be transported went unanswered.
Facebook users think local newspapers are ‘essential’, despite not reading them MORE than half of people who do not read local newspapers believe they are essential to their communities, a national survey has found. Findings from the survey show that 64.5 per cent of respondents consider a printed copy of a local newspaper an essential service to their communities. In addition, 48 per cent, or just under half, state that if they ever did read a local newspaper, they prefer to do so in print, compared with online (33 per cent) or via social media (13 per cent). The survey, conducted in July and August this year, sought the views of 400 Facebook users who do not read a local newspaper, about the role of local news within their communities. The research targeted participants in areas that were being served by independent local newspapers within the Country Press Australia network. The findings come as many local newspapers have struggled to survive during the pandemic. Deakin University Associate Professor Kristy Hess, who is leading the research, said the Facebook survey supported findings from a previous national study of local newspaper readers her team conducted last year, highlighting a passion for the printed product. “The fact that social media users examined here (in the latest survey) also indicate a preference for print is perhaps especially profound,” she

“It is not just about the survival of local independent (newspaper) businesses, but that it is fundamental to community wellbeing, and to basic democratic notions of accountability within those communities,” he said. “Issues around accessibility and cost are also not surprising and reflect swings in community expectation in recent generations. "Most independent publishers are adapting to that, having learned from the mistakes of the big corporate players who are now deserting the regions.” The surveys are part of a national three-year Australian Research Council-funded project involving researchers from Deakin and RMIT universities, with support from the Country Press Australia, the peak media body for independent news organisations. The project is about to enter its third year. Associate Professor Hess said the voices and perspectives of everyday people were often missing in policy discussion about the future of local media. Almost 30 per cent of Australia’s population — close to eight million people — live outside major cities in rural and regional areas, and are less-well serviced than their urban counterparts.

New Gippsland suicide prevention program:
Golden Paradise Beach and Heyfield men’s sheds receive govt grants
Ten important stories of hope and recovery
A new program which aims to prevent suicide has been launched in Gippsland. from day one.” Gippsland PHN chief executive, Amanda Proposch, said the Stories Are Strong campaign aimed to help people become more compassionate, wise and resourced to be able to understand suicide, and to have the confidence to begin conversations that may just save lives. “The Stories Are Strong articles provide inspiring and positive messages of hope and recovery that showcase the strength, resilience and connectedness of our diverse community,” Ms Proposch said. “It is for community, employers, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. “Each story and interview overwhelmingly reinforces themes that you are never alone, there is always someone you can talk to, and there is
Ensure your pool is safe this summer PEOPLE should make sure their swimming pools and spas are installed by a registered building practitioner and have a compliant safety fence, to avoid tragedy this summer. The Victorian Building Authority is reminding homeowners to check practitioners are registered when looking to install pools and pool fencing. The alert comes after Life Saving Victoria reported that 2020-21 had the state’s highest drowning toll in 20 years. The Victorian Building Authority’s executive director of regulatory operations, David Brockman, said people must check that the person they were hiring was registered. He said there had been a rise in unregistered people advertising their services through online marketplaces and apps. In Victoria, all swimming pools capable of holding more than 30 centimetres of water must have a compliant safety barrier to restrict access to the pool area by young children. “Making sure a registered building practitioner has installed your pool or pool fence is vital — don’t let just anyone be responsible for the safety of your family,” Mr Brockman said. “Just one drowning death is too many, and in Victoria in the last two decades 20 children have drowned in cases where a non-compliant safety barrier has been a factor.” In Victoria, the design, construction and installation of new swimming pools, spas and safety barriers are subject to strict requirements, including being constructed by a builder registered in an appropriate category or class. In Wellington Shire, a planning permit may be required to construct a pool, depending on the provisions of the planning scheme affecting an area of land (zones and overlays). People can check planning permit requirements by phoning the land use planning department at council on 1300 366 244. A building permit is required for installing an in-ground pool, and installing or altering a pool safety barrier. All swimming pools and spas that can contain water to a depth greater than 30 centimetres must comply with pool safety barrier requirements. While a building permit to set up or erect a temporary relocatable pool, like a wading pool, may not be needed, people do need a permit for
a path to recovery with resources and support.” The Stories Are Strong campaign links 10 stories of lived experience, four interviews with experts in the field and four resource sheets with days of significance throughout the year such as National Close The Gap Day in March and The Push-Up Challenge in May. Lifeline’s vision for an Australia free of suicide fuels its commitment to ensure that help is at the end of the line 24/7. Lifeline Gippsland chief executive officer, Michelle Possingham, has also contributed to the campaign with an insight into her organisation. “Just as we all have physical health, we all have mental health, and there are times when we need to reach out to someone to get physical or mental health back on track,” Ms Possingham said. “It’s a natural part of the human experience to have times when we feel down, anxious or overwhelmed. “If we can come together as a community to support each other, we will have a safer community and ultimately communities that are suicide-free.” To read more Stories Are Strong or access resources, go to gphn.org.au/about-us/stories-are-strong/ If you or someone you know needs help, phone:

A NEW Gippsland suicide prevention campaign features inspirational stories of hope and recovery. ‘Stories Are Strong” has been initiated by Gippsland Primary Health Network, and also points people to expert advice and resources. The campaign has been developed following interviews with a diverse group of people who have lived experience of suicide, as well as experts in the field. One of the 10 stories is from proud Barkindji man, Sam Weston, who spent time doing 169 pushups every day for two weeks in preparation for the Push-Up Challenge — one for every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person who lost their life to suicide in 2018. “I’ve got anxiety and depression,” Sam said. “Everyone has issues to deal with, but for me, it’s been a big part of my life. “So, I took on the push-up challenge to raise funds for mental health. “It’s pretty meaningful to be able to do something for others.” Finding her tribe the day the LGBTIQ Equality Roadshow came to town set a new pivotal course for Helen. Since becoming involved with the South Coast Inclusion Network, she has found her “happy place”, despite her journey of coming out initially being a lonely one. “I was just feeling so excluded from the community and separated from what was happening in Melbourne,” Helen said. “Just to have them visit and acknowledge us was a big boost.” On that day, she also met other members of the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTIQ) community and allies. “We talked and found that we were all interested in doing something about the invisibility of the local LGBTIQ community,” Helen said. “We exchanged numbers, got together and just clicked — there was a really amazing dynamic
TWO local men’s sheds have received government grants. Heyfield Men’s Shed has received $1749 to buy a router, router table and dust collector, while Golden Paradise Beach Men’s Shed has a grant of $2475 for members to undertake first aid and defibrillator training. They are among five Gippsland men’s sheds which will share in more than $17,500 of funding. Gippsland MHR Darren Chester said men’s sheds were an integral part of communities, offering safe and friendly places for people to gather and work on projects. “Whenever I visit local men’s sheds in Gippsland I am always impressed by the camaraderie and contribution being made to the local community,” he said. “Not only do the sheds keep members physically active, but they also help to build strong social connections.” Mr Chester said the grants would support the sheds through the purchase of tools and equipment, as well as helping with community projects, training, building maintenance and more. Traralgon Men’s Shed and Woodworking will receive $2200 for a defibrillator; Clifton Waters Village Men’s Shed will receive $3094 to make shed improvements including an extraction house and dust reducers and to buy a sawstop table saw; and Orbost Men’s Shed will get $8000 to build a paved outdoor gathering and social space. All the grants have been made under the federal government’s National Shed Development Program. Men’s sheds can apply for funding of up to $10,000 through the National Shed Development Program. Applications for the next round of funding will open mid-January.
Remember to continue to the safety barrier. If a temporary paddling or wading pool is capable of containing 30cm of water, generally it will not require a building permit. However, if it is erected for more than three consecutive days, it will require a compliant safety barrier. Wellington Shire Council does not issue building permits. Search for a registered building surveyor authorised to issue building permits at www.vba. vic.gov.au
Safety barriers must include self-latching and self-closing pool gates. An outdoor pool or spa area must not be directly accessible via a building. Since November 2020, Victorians must register their pool or spa with their local council. For swimming pools built after November 2020, the first certificate of barrier compliance must be lodged within 30 days of the date of issue of the certificate. The Victorian Building Authority has created checklists that owners can use to help ascertain if their barriers meet the standards. Visit its website for more information on pool and spa safety. Research into fatal toddler drowning incidents conducted by UNSW Sydney, James Cook University and Royal Life Saving Australia, found that household chores — everyday tasks such as checking on dinner, taking the out the rubbish or putting the washing out — were the most common distractions which led to lapses in supervision of children around water (41 per cent). This was followed by talking or socialising (11 per cent) and electronic distractions (nine per cent). For more information about water safety, check the KidSafe website.

LOCAL swimmers will get some cool relief this summer, with outdoor pools across Wellington Shire opening for at least three hours every day during the peak season. Following community feedback, Wellington Shire Council will operate its outdoor pools from midday to 3pm, regardless of the forecast temperature, until Sunday, January 30. Extended hours during peak season will still be determined by the temperature trigger, which has been in place at council’s pools for several years. On days when the temperature is forecast to reach 25 degrees or higher, pools will open from 11am to 7.30pm on weekdays and from 10.30am to 6pm on weekends and public holidays. This will be based on the forecast temperature for Sale district issued by Bureau of Meteorology at 4pm the previous day.

be welcomed by the community. “We’ve had the 25 degree temperature trigger in place for some time now, but we know that many people have missed being able to get to the pool on some of the cooler days, particularly during school holidays,” Cr Bye said. “We’ve listened to what the community is telling us about staying open over summer regardless of the temperature, and we’ve made this change based on their feedback. “Of course, ideally we’re hoping for a warm summer so that we can open to maximum hours each day. “But for any days when the temperature doesn’t quite reach 25 degrees, we know there are people
who will want to brave the cooler weather for a swim, and our pools will be open for them,” he said. Normal summer off-peak operating hours will be back in place from January 31 at council’s outdoor pools.

Grants to help people reconnect with community activities
A NEW grants program being run by Uniting in Gippsland is helping people reconnect with community activities following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wellington Community Connect Initiative aims to help people get back into the things they love and reconnect with their local community. The grants, which are available to people across the Wellington Shire, can support the costs associated with training and education, securing employment as well as sporting or community activities and equipment. Uniting Gippsland executive officer, Di Fisher, said the grants would help people to connect with their community. “Whether it’s helping you with the training you need to further your skills and find a new job or if you’re wanting to get back into sport, these grants are for you,” Ms Fisher said. “We know how important being involved in community activities and sport is to people’s mental and physical health. “The pandemic affected all of us in different
ways. “Some people lost their job, others had their education or studies disrupted and many people found they couldn’t play sport with their friends as local competitions were cancelled. “Getting involved with your community, either through work, education, sport or another community activity, is important to all of us. “We’re all looking for ways in which we can stay physically active and socially connected, so we would encourage everybody to consider applying for one of these grants. “Cost can sometimes be a barrier to community participation. “These grants are aimed at helping to remove that barrier so that more people can benefit from feeling part of the community they live in.” The grants are being funded by the Victorian Government through the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing.

Stop tampering with Gippsland Lakes
The regions are being left behind regarding NBN
From Geoff Gooch, Sale: I HAVE read with some concern about the fate of the dolphin population in the Gippsland Lakes, but it does raise a question. The saline nature of the Gippsland Lakes, which attracts the dolphins, was enhanced by the man-made opening of the entrance many years ago. This apparently led to the development of a saline ecosystem that supported the dolphin population. In recent times, low flow in the rivers feeding into the lakes has led to an increase in the salinity levels and extent in the lakes, causing disruption to the freshwater ecology of the lakes and calls to control the inflows of salt water from the ocean. Now the wheel has turned, and the rivers feeding the lakes have produced massive flows of fresh water, leading possibly to lesions on the dolphins and now their apparent disappearance. Now we are concerned about the welfare of the saline ecosystem. Is it not time to take a step back and be concerned about those things we can control and leave nature to strike its own balance as it has done for aeons? Mother Nature is a harsh ruler and ruthlessly strikes a balance in natural systems. Do we want a freshwater ecosystem or a saline ecosystem to meet our desires, or do we let the balance of nature take its course while we observe from afar?
From Senator Raff Ciccone, Federal Labor Senator for Victoria: AS the past two years of rolling lockdowns across Australia have shown, access to a reliable, high quality internet connection is essential. It is not a luxury. It is a utility — and we must get it right. Australians can and should expect to have access to world-leading internet speeds to keep us connected to each other and to the world. But the Morrison-Joyce government has failed miserably on the NBN, and as has been so often the case under the Coalition, regional areas are disproportionately affected by their failure. There is no getting away from the fact that the Liberal and National parties have left regional Australia behind, where more than 1.8 million homes have been dudded with copperbased fibre-to-the-node. The federal government’s decision to abandon the original vision of the NBN and instead rollout a second-rate technology has led to multiple cost blowouts and delays and, as it stands, the NBN is $28 billion over budget. Australia cannot continue down this path. We must deliver the fibre infrastructure that regional communities need, not spend more taxpayer money on outdated copper-based technology. While the Coalition continues to leave regional Australians behind, federal Labor has a plan to boost fibre and fast-track NBN repair. An Albanese Labor government will expand full-fibre NBN access to 1.5 million premises, providing thousands of Australian families and businesses with quality, high-speed internet by 2025. This is a significant investment in the future growth potential and network resilience of our regions — an investment that will deliver 12,000 jobs for construction workers, engineers, and project managers, both in our regions and in our suburbs. Australia has slipped to 58th in the world on broadband speeds and ranks 32 out of 37 OECD nations. I believe that our focus as a nation must be on making things here again, particularly in regional Australia. But to seize the economic opportunities before us, we need quality, reliable broadband technology. Australia deserves a government that delivers the broadband infrastructure we need to succeed – that is what Labor will deliver.
Thanks for spreading joy in Sale with flowers From Sue Freshwater, Rosedale: LAST week after completing my shopping in Sale, a friend and I were sitting in the complex having a coffee when I was approached by a beautiful little girl (who was probably about two years old). She presented me with a lovely bunch of flowers. The little girl’s mother was standing behind her and explained that she was trying to teach her the art of giving. This gift came as a complete surprise, and I thanked her and her mother several times. It put a smile on my face for the rest of the day — and also those that I have shared this story with. I did notice underneath the pram there were several more bunches, so I’m guessing that she continued to spread the joy.
Are there vested interests in continuing coal? From Brian Measday, Myrtle Bank, South Australia: IT is a well proven truth that climate change has already caused widespread devastation and loss of human life across the world. It is beyond any doubt that burning coal to produce energy is the main cause of climate change. Coal is responsible for more than 800,000 premature deaths per year globally, and many millions more serious and minor illnesses. Why then does the federal Coalition government and health authorities still permit the widespread use of coal with all its associated health pollution and other problems? I do not have a definite answer to the above question, but I suspect that it will be of the utmost importance for both Scott Morrison and Barnaby Joyce to have the economy in tip top shape by the time of next year’s election. The continued mining, export and use of coal will play a mega role in this regard.

WELLINGTON Shire Council is encouraging local children to keep reading during summer, with the launch of the BIG Summer Read program. Organised by Public Libraries Victoria and supported by Wellington libraries, the BIG Summer Read is a challenge for young people aged up to 18, which began on December 1 and runs until the end of January. It is aimed at raising awareness of the benefits of maintaining reading skills during summer. Wellington Shire Council mayor Ian Bye said while the warmer months naturally meant more time spent outside, reading remained an important activity to ensure children continued to build their literacy skills “Summer is actually the perfect time for kids to keep up their reading, since they will have more time to relax while on school holidays,” Cr Bye said. “Having a challenge like the BIG Summer Read makes it an even more fun activity and will keep children engaged and interested in trying to read as many books as they can by the end of January.” By signing on to take part in the BIG Summer Read, children can go into a local prize draw for Wellington library patrons, with winners announced in February next year. Families can register for the challenge now at plv.beanstack.org, and books will be counted towards the challenge from December 1.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK BIG FAT QUIZ OF THE YEAR 2021 SBS, New Year’s Day, 7.30pm
Did you pay attention to all the news and stories of 2021, or were you one of the many people who were too busy whipping up batches of cupcakes and ordering new sets of tracksuits online while you half-heartedly learnt a new language? Never fear: one of the world’s most acerbic and surprising comedians, Jimmy Carr, is here to shake you out of your reverie and remember the year that has passed. In this annual special, express from the UK, a panel of six comedians compete to see which of them can recall most about the past 12 months. Joining Carr for the laughs this year are Sarah Millican, Sara Pascoe, James Acaster, Jonathan Ross, Judi Love and Guz Khan.
NEW YEAR’S EVE ABC TV, New Year’s Eve, 8.30pm
FBI 10, Sunday, 9pm
BACK ROADS ABC TV, Monday, 8pm
After the past couple of years, we all know there’s no harm in staying home on New Year’s Eve and enjoying the festivities from the comfort of your lounge room. The dress code can be whatever you want (fancy pyjamas or swimmers?) and the in-house menu can be as select as you like (iced-chocolate or bubbles?). It’s hardly a secret that the best parties are often the ones in your own abode, and this festive special, live from the Sydney Opera House, affords you a spectacular celebration from home. Featuring a line-up of special guests and performances, it’s a winning way to bid farewell to 2021.
Now in its fourth season, this crime drama from producer Dick Wolf (Law & Order) is going from strength to strength thanks to storylines that keep you on the edge of your seat and top-notch production values. FBI agents have a certain element of mystery and intrigue, and you know they are only ever going to handle the really juicy cases. This time, Assistant Director in Charge Rina (Kathleen Munroe, pictured) is critically wounded on her way to work. The team soon discover a vengeful Vargas – the notorious leader of the Durango drug cartel – organised the attack from behind bars and he’s not planning on stopping there.
Packing the car, perfecting the playlist, selecting the snacks, and mapping the route to stop at as many country bakeries as possible that sell Australia’s best vanilla slice (all of them, apparently) is just part of the magic of a road trip. In tonight’s series return, presenter Heather Ewart (pictured) looks at how travel by road has evolved – from the beginnings of mass car ownership of the 1950s to the rise of the grey nomads hitting the highway in their caravans. Heading off from the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia, Ewart shares some of her favourite drives to explore this country’s love affair with the road.

HIS near-new, quality four bedroom home, on a manageable, easy-care allotment at the end of a quiet street in Glenhaven Estate, has parks and walking tracks just steps from the front door. Built only a few years ago, this home has three flexible living zones – a large, central sitting or theatre room, a children’s retreat, and an open plan family, meals and kitchen area, allowing space for the whole family. The kitchen has stone benchtops, quality appliances and a large walk-in-pantry, with easy access from the double garage. The master bedroom boasts a walk-in
robe, split system air conditioning and ensuite with double vanity, while the three other bedrooms each have built-in robes and share a modern family bathroom with freestanding bath. Highlights include ducted central heating, evaporative cooling, quality vinyl plank flooring, wainscoting to the family and meals area and great storage. Outside, there is a six by six metre shed with a carport and a private undercover outdoor entertainment space. Agents say the property would be ideal for those considering building, as it would save them the hassle and time.

Explore Gld’s High Country this summer AS popular in summer as it is in winter, Mount Hotham’s trails have opened to walkers and runners, the challenging Great Alpine Rd draws passionate cyclists to conquer its peak, and enthusiastic explorers discover the array of activities on offer. Mount Hotham’s trail network, mostly at more than 1800 metres altitude, offers adventurers unparalleled views across the High Country including to Victoria’s second highest peak, Mount Feathertop. Mount Hotham’s iconic Razorback to Mount Feathertop walk is a drawcard all summer and, at 22 kilometres, is a challenging trail with a multitude of rewards — including the ridgeline vantage point with panoramic views of surrounding peaks. Mount Hotham is also the finishing point for the infamous Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing. At 37km, this challenging walk is on the bucket list of many serious hikers. For those after similar Insta-worthy views with a little less effort, there are stunning village rambles to easily-accessed lookouts, and shorts walks to idyllic picnic spots. Temperatures on average are 10 degrees cooler in the mountains, offering respite from the heat below. Swapping two feet for two wheels, the Great Alpine Rd between Harrietville and Hotham is one of the top five most challenging hill climbs in Australia, and a must-do for serious road riders. Rising 18 per cent along 30km, completing
There is plenty to do at Mount Hotham during summer.
this challenge is often the peak of a roadie’s hillclimbing achievements. Once in the village, riders can rest at one of Hotham’s comfortable cafés or bars, before freewheeling down. Guided experiences are another great way for
guests to discover the hidden delights of Mount Hotham. The curated culinary delights of the ‘Hike ‘n’ Feast’ walk combines historic huts of the region, with wood-fired dining and campfire sing-songs. The supported Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing
is designed to simplify logistics for enthusiastic walkers. For a truly unique experience, Australia’s only tree tent ‘eco-glamping’ at Dargo Lookout is the ideal summer getaway for those seeking something new. Suspended in the snow gums, with a private outdoor hot-tub, visitors sleep in cosy tents under the twinkling night sky and awake to a wood-fire cooked breakfast. Families looking to unplug the kids from screentime can relax in a self-catering lodge, sheltered in the snow gums, with easy access to walking trails and kids’ activities, while mum and dad can take a wine and cheese master classes in a teepee. The whole family can enjoy wood-fired pizza outdoors on Saturday nights, or book a mobile gourmet barbecue. Mount Hotham chief executive, Amber Gardner, expects strong visitor numbers this summer, with people seeking nature-based escapes to leave the challenges of the past year behind. Ms Gardner encouraged guests to visit the Mount Hotham website to book accommodation and tours before travelling. “We’re looking forward to sharing our beautiful resort with many guests this season, and the Mount Hotham website is the best place for visitors to research and book their trip,” she said. “What we do well is give our visitors opportunities for memorable moments in the High Country that they won’t find anywhere else, and summer is the ideal time to experience all these possibilities.”
Helping local heat-stressed wildlife AS the mercury pushes toward 35 degrees this week, a wildlife expert is urging people to provide plenty of water — and even ice cubes -—for backyard birds and animals this summer. Wildlife ecologist Dr Grainne Cleary, from Deakin University’s Centre for Integrative Ecology, said birds — and indeed other wildlife — may move into urban areas looking for water, and it was important to look after them. “Many water sources are already drying out because of the current drought and bushfire activity, so birds will be on the hunt for water and new habitat, and we need to make them feel welcome,” Dr Cleary said. “People should put out plenty of water and, on extremely hot days, even add some ice cubes to the water to keep it cool.” Dr Cleary said it was important to provide lots of drinking options, as different birds required water in different ways. “Traditional pedestal bird baths are good for bigger birds such as magpies, but smaller birds like superb fairy wrens and yellow robins prefer smaller bowls, close to vegetation,” she said. “You can make a bath out of almost anything — and we have seen birds using pots or old buckets filled with water.” Dr Cleary said putting a rock in the middle of the bird bath or sturdy branches across the top of the water gave smaller birds an easy-to-reach perch, especially if the water was a bit deep. “Birds are very vulnerable when they’re wet, so it is important to provide them with shelter so they feel comfortable and safe while their feathers are drying out after their bath,” Dr Cleary said. “Putting at least one of your bird baths on the ground will also give other native wildlife a cool place to relax. “We know echidnas will swim in a bird bath if given the opportunity, and we have even had koalas drinking from baths.” Dr Cleary said pet dogs and cats were a potential threat to
birds and needed to be locked in at night. “While cats are a big threat to birds, dogs are a threat to koalas who may come looking for water in urban areas, too,”she said. “And it is also important your bath is clean — so give them a good scrub to keep them disease free — and freshen the water regularly.” Wildlife Victoria says successive hot days can have serious and even fatal consequences for wildlife. The rescue organisation says possums show heat stress by being out during the day (rather than sleeping or hiding), on the ground rather than in a tree, and appearing lethargic or unresponsive. Heat-stressed birds will often open their beaks or pant, spread their wings, or won’t fly away when approached. Koalas will sit at the base of trees, and drink from troughs or other water sources, while kangaroos and wallabies will appear lethargic and lick their forearms. Wildlife Victoria’s tips for helping heat-stressed animals, other than putting out water, include providing artificial shade and keeping cats and dogs safely inside where it’s cooler for them and away from vulnerable wildlife. Those who find a heat-stressed animal should carefully pick up the animal using a towel and protective gloves and place it into a secure box with ventilation holes in a cool, dark, quiet area indoors and out of the direct heat. Leave the animal undisturbed until safe to release in the cooler evening. Any signs of injuries, such as burns to a possum’s feet, mean the animal should be taken to a local veterinarian immediately. If the animal cannot drink from a container, offer it water from an eye dropper or a shallow spoon. If the animal doesn’t improve in one to two hours, it should be taken to a local vet clinic.
With temperatures of 35 degrees predicted for Friday and Saturday, people should put out water for heat-stressed wildlife.
Don’t leave pets in cars or on utes, even for short periods
A dog can die in less than six minutes when left inside a hot car, experiencing organ failure and seizures. People who find distressed animals locked in vehicles should phone police on 000. Page 20 – Times-Spectator, Wednesday, 29 December, 2021
ON a 23-degree day, the inside of a car can reach more than 40 degrees. In this heat, a pet can die an agonising death in less than six minutes. With the temperature set to rise this week, RSPCA Victoria is urging pet owners not to leave their animals unattended in vehicles or on the back of utilities, even for a short period of time. Dogs are particularly at risk of overheating as they pant to cool down, which also adds to the rising temperature in a vehicle. An animal left in a car or on the back of a ute can suffer extreme stress, organ failure and seizures. If the animal is not immediately removed from this environment, it can also slip into a coma and die. In many cases, even if the animal is still alive when found, the damage can be too great for it to be revived and recover. The RSPCA says given the urgent action required in these circumstances, people who find distressed animals locked in vehicles should phone police on 000. It says police can respond quickly, and can break into vehicles if animals are at risk. RSPCA chief executive, Dr Liz
Walker, said tinted windows, parking in the shade or leaving windows down did not reduce the inside temperature of a car significantly. “None of us want animals to suffer in the heat so always make plans for your pets to be kept happy and safe, even in milder summer weather,” she said. RSPCA Victoria recommends pet owners leave their animals at home during warmer months, and provide plenty of water and shade. It says preparation is key when it comes to ensuring the safety of pets during summer, and basic precautions can reduce the likelihood of animals suffering from heat stress and dying. If pets do need to be left outside on warm days, it’s imperative to provide them with shade and multiple sources of cool clean water. Pet owners should ensure water bowls can’t be tipped over and always provide more than one water source to account for leaks, evaporation and accidental spillage. If animals must be left outdoors all day, take note of where the sun and shade fall at the time of departure and account for how they will shift throughout the day, making sure to provide more than
one option for shelter. When preparing for a holiday, it’s important to include pets in plans, either including them in the travel or ensuring they have proper care from friends, family, neighbours or a pet sitting service. If pets are left in the home to be cared for by someone else, make sure to let neighbours know so that they don’t mistakenly believe pets have been left alone. RSPCA Victoria received 1163 reports of abandoned animals last financial year, with 384 of these reports during last summer alone. It is an offence under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1986 to worry, torment or terrify an animal, or to confine an animal where the confinement is likely to cause unreasonable pain or suffering. Offenders can face fines up to $41,305 or 12 months’ imprisonment or, if the offence results in the death or serious disablement of the animal, fines of up to $82,610 or two years’ imprisonment. Anyone who has concerns for the welfare of an animal can phone RSPCA Victoria on 9224 2222 or visit rspcavic.org

HEAT stress in livestock can become a major issue, both for production levels and animal welfare — but there are precautions farmers can take to help reduce the risk. As temperatures rise, livestock have to divert energy away from production to cool themselves. This is done via heat loss through their skin surface and respiratory tract. Feed intake is also reduced and a decrease in milk production may be observed. High humidity can also play a significant role in heat stress. For any given temperature, the degree of heat stress increases as the relative humidity increases. Heat stress can significantly affect animal welfare. Livestock should be checked daily, looking for any signs of stress. The behaviours of heat-stressed livestock can include seeking out shade, drinking more, eating less, standing rather than laying down, panting and producing less milk. There can even be a reduction in fertility. The ideal temperature range for cattle is between five and 25 degrees Celsius, and for adult pigs just 18 to 20 degrees. It is important to remember high-producing livestock, such as dairy cows, are the animals most sensitive to heat stress. Poultry have also been known to perish because of heat stress on very hot days.
On hot days, livestock should be given unlimited access to shade or shelter and good quality, cool drinking water. Fire plans may also need to be enacted on such days. If livestock must be yarded or moved on extreme days, it should be avoided during the hottest part of the day. High quality feed should be given during the evening when it is cooler, as livestock are more likely to eat more. Landholders not living on their properties should arrange for a neighbour to check on
animals. By making some minor management changes and taking a little extra care of livestock in extreme hot weather, the effects of heat stress can be substantially reduced. For more information, phone a local veterinarian or Agriculture Victoria’s veterinary or animal health officers, or visit the ‘Caring for animals during extreme heat’ page on the Agriculture Victoria website. — Agriculture Victoria senior veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave

VFF: Gld water strategy falls short

implementation of the strategy,” Mr Leahy said. “But the draft strategy makes reference to possible legislative change regarding entitlements to better suit traditional owners. “Any proposed change to Victoria’s water entitlement framework is a red flag for farmers. “The VFF recognises traditional owners’ aspirations to access water, but this must be achieved without impacting the existing water entitlements of farmers. “It’s not fair for farmers to be forced to subsidise the storage and use of this water. “The obvious next step should be to use water that is currently available to the environment to meet the cultural needs of Aboriginal communities. “The strategy also makes the mistake that
the Murray Darling Basin Plan has made by mandating environmental water targets, rather than focussing on broader environmental outcomes. “Environmental water targets need to be adaptable to a changing climate, and the knowledge we gain along the way.” Mr Leahy flagged concerns surrounding the lack of discussion about the Latrobe Valley mine closures, “as it is estimated they will require 1600 to 3000 gigalitres if the pit lakes are implemented in full”. In response to the draft strategy, Ms Germano and Mr Leahy have written to Ms Neville and have offered to help the government make the strategy work better for farmers. “The VFF is keen to work with the government as it considers the community’s feedback and it develops the final strategy to help ensure agriculture has a future throughout the region,” Ms Germano said. The VFF’s submission to the central and Gippsland region can be accessed and viewed on the VFF website.

THE Victorian Farmers Federation says a plan for the future of water resources in Gippsland falls short of giving farmers the confidence they need to maintain the state’s food security future. VFF president, Emma Germano, said the draft Central and Gippsland Region Sustainable Water Strategy – a 50-year plan for the sharing of water across Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Gippsland — failed to give certainty to farmers about water security issues. “With a growing population in Melbourne comes a greater demand for food,” Ms Germano said. “The agricultural industry stands ready to expand and meet this demand. “To do that, we need a strong plan that provides farmers and industry with confidence that their future is secure. “Unfortunately, the VFF is concerned that elements of the draft strategy create uncertainty for farmers and the agriculture industry. “At a time when agriculture is looking to expand, we are being told we have to do that with less water, but the environment, traditional owners and urban users need more. “The government needs to rethink this.” VFF water council chair, Andrew Leahy, said he believed the draft strategy had the potential to undermine the government’s commitment to protect the entitlements of irrigators, which was contrary to positions put forward by Victorian Water Minister Lisa Neville. “We recognise Minister Neville’s clear and unequivocal position that the rights of existing entitlement holders will not be impacted in the

The Times’ SMCA team of the year 9. Jake Wynd (Longford) WYND has been in impeccable form to begin this summer, and is unlucky to not have played any Gippsland Cricket League games so far. While in his last two games he has gone wicketless, Wynd began the season on fire, taking 6/26 against Rosedale-Kilmany, as well as wickets against the Saints and top-of-the-ladder Stratford. It has been a tough summer for Longford, and Wynd has been the shining light. He has nine wickets at an average of 17, and will be aiming to recapture his wicket taking prowess in the new year.
Josh Farrell Rohan Blandford will open the batting in Gippsland Times’ team of the year.
AS the first part of the Sale-Maffra Cricket Association season comes to an end, it is an opportunity to take stock of the season. The Gippsland Times has decided to pick its team of the year so far. It’s a challenge to pick a balanced team, and spinners have dominated the first part of the season — thus there are a number of spinners picked, and seam bowling all-rounders in the middle order. Stratford, Maffra and Bundalaguah began the season strongly, and will feature prominently in this team in which 12 players were chosen based on statistics and form.
File photo
10. Ethan Albrecht (Stratford) A BOLTER so far this season, Albrecht has been a pivotal cog in the Stratford bowling attack. In and out of Stratford last summer, Albrecht would be one of the first picked bowlers for Jack Tatterson this season. Albrecht has taken 10 wickets, and a wicket in all but one game so far this season, with an average of just over 11 bowling his right arm off spin. The spinner is second on the wicket takers’ list for the association, showing his skills so far this season and making him a handful for oppositions.
1. Lee Hopkins (Maffra) HOPKINS made the move to the top of the order in round four after beginning the season in good form, but has improved his statistics since the move. He has scored 180 runs at an average of 45, with three half centuries so far this summer. Hopkins has been an instrumental part of Maffra’s ability to finish 2021 in the top two, and the Eagles will be looking for him to continue his form in the new year. Hopkins has had the opportunity to roll the arm over for the Eagles, taking five wickets at an average of 25, demonstrating that batting form often correlates to bowling form.
11. David Griffiths (Maffra) THE sole specialist seamer, Griffiths has led the Maffra attack through the middle rounds and into the Christmas break. Griffiths has taken nine wickets at an average of a touch over 12, opening the bowling and bowling the challenging death overs. Griffiths has a strike rate of 21 so far this season. His best figures came against Rosedale-Kilmany, when he took four from 31 from his nine overs when the Warriors posted an impressive 222 from their 45 overs. For captain Josh Davis, Griffiths’ bustling seam bowling will be pivotal if Maffra wants to compete against Stratford in round eight.
2. Rohan Blandford (Sale) WHILE Blandford is a regular at number three for Sale, he has batted at the top of the order in the Gippsland Cricket League, which is why he finds himself in this team. Blandford has serious pedigree and has been one of the best performers in the association since returning in the 2018 to 2019 season. He scored the first and only century for the competition in round four against Rosedale-Kilmany, where he guided his team to its first win of the season. The Sale captain has scored 200 runs and is averaging 50, making him an almost immediate inclusion in this team. The level-headed nature of the Sale skipper would make him invaluable at the top of the order.
4. Josh Ruwarhe (Maffra) ORDINARILY, if someone had only played three of the possible five games, they would not make a team of the year — but Rawarhe’s return to A grade has been astonishing. Ruwarhe returned to the side in round four and made an immediate impact for the Eagles, making 88 against Boisdale-Briagolong. Ruwarhe scored 186 runs, and has been dismissed only once, to give himself an average of 186, and showing his ability to bat long for the Eagles. For the Eagles, Ruwarhe’s form have allowed them to adjust their batting line up to make it much more formidable.
5. Jack Tatterson (c) (Stratford) THE Tattersons have dominated the association so far, and Jack has found his groove as captain of an undefeated Stratford side. One of the side’s all rounders, Tatterson has had a strong season with bat in hand. The Redbacks’ skipper has scored 199 runs at an average of 39.8, including two half centuries. He has been equally impressive with ball, which is always challenging for captains. Tatterson has taken nine wickets at an average 10.56, and has been consistent in his last three bowling innings, taking three wickets in each. 6. Steve Spoljaric (Bundalaguah) THERE is no surprise Spoljaric makes this team, as he continues to age like a fine wine and dominate the association. Another all-rounder, Spoljaric has scored 181 in his four innings at an average of 45 — which has included two half centuries. In each game, Spoljaric has scored 20 or more, showing his consistency and form, and he is an important part of the Bulls’ batting order. The Bulls’ all-rounder has been instrumental bowling the middle overs, with an economy rate of under three. Spoljaric has taken eight wickets at an average of 16, making him the clear choice as an all-rounder in this side.

7. Nathan Massey (wk) (Sale) MASSEY returns to the association this summer after a year off, slotting back into the Sale line-up, and is a key cog for the team. The Swans’ keeper returned with a half century against Bundalaguah, and has scored 156 runs at 39 — which includes three scores of more than 30. It has been a tough beginning to the season for Sale, but Massey, along with Blandford, have kept Sale in matches. Massey has been solid behind the stumps for Sale, taking five catches and two stumpings so far, and earning him the spot as the wicket keeper in this team. 8. Isaac Love (Collegians) THE number one wicket taker so far this season is an automatic inclusion in this side, and could count himself unlucky to not be named captain. Love has some mind-boggling statistics so far this season, and has been instrumental in College’s winning record. He has taken 14 wickets at an unbelievable average of 8.21 so far this season. The College skipper often opens the bowling — impressive for a spinner — and has controlled the innings from the outset. Batting at eight is far too low for Love, but in a team as high in quality as this, his inclusion provides depth to the batting line-up.

3. Matt Dowsett (Bundalaguah) THE highest run scorer so far this season finds himself at number three in the Gippsland Times team of the year. Dowsett has been incredibly consistent so far this season, and has been instrumental in the strong start for the Bulls. His lowest score so far this season has been 29, and he has scored 229 runs at an average of 57.25 — with his highest score reaching 80. In a team full of number threes, Dowsett has been a cut above, and therefore finds himself in the coveted position. Dowsett has settled in nicely at three for the Bulls, and they will be looking for more of the same from him in the New Year.
12. Sam Bedggood (Bundalaguah) BEDGGOOD finds his way into this team after a consistent season with bat and ball, while also being impressive in the field for Bundalaguah. Bedggood has been picked as 12th man, for his strong season in the field for the Bulls. He has taken five catches so far, and one unassisted run out, putting him at the top of the list for non-wicketkeepers. The all-rounder has been dismissed once this summer, giving him an average of 136 and a high score of 52 not out. He has been handy with the ball, called upon by Jason Langshaw in three matches, where he took five wickets at an average of under 20.
SALE players will come up against a familiar face in season 2022, with former Magpie John Gooch joining Bairnsdale Football-Netball Club. The key forward has signed on with the Redlegs, who will be coached by former Port Adelaide and St Kilda footballer Logan Austin. The recruitment of Gooch should provide Bairnsdale with more potency inside 50, and he could prove an effective foil for mercurial goal sneak Brayden McCarrey. Gooch played the best part of 150 games for the Magpies, including the 2012 senior premiership, and kicked more than 200 goals in the black and white. He is also a three-time interleague representative for the Gippsland League.

Maffra Golf Club tees up Pro-Am Josh Farrell
IN an impressive coup for the region, Maffra Golf Club will host its first ever Pro-Am on Tuesday, January 25. The event will be an opportunity for the region’s avid golf fans to rub shoulders with some of the best golfers in the country. The tournament is the culmination of work undertaken by the club’s sub-committee, which was approached by PGA Australia in November with the idea for the event. The Maffra Golf Club Pro-Am will join a suite of events across Gippsland, including in Warragul, Yarram and Traralgon. The four events will ensure some of the country’s best golfers will venture to Gippsland, bringing their loyal legion of golf fans to the area. Fifty professional golfers will compete for an $11,000
purse in Maffra. There will be a morning session, where amateur golfers can enter for the opportunity to team up with a professional — only if they have a current golf link number. Golfers will be encouraged to arrive at 6.30am where breakfast will be provided by the club, with coffee from Duart Homestead. Then in groups of three, golfers will join a professional on the course and have the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the country’s best golfers. In the afternoon, the top 25 golfers entered will play accompanied by sponsors, all of varying levels. There are six levels of sponsorship golf fans can pay to be a part of — naming rights, executive, platinum, gold, silver and bronze, ranging from $295 all the way through to $5000. While these groups will have the opportunity to
participate, they will also receive sponsorship benefits such as signs around the course or logos on the PGA website. For club president Neville Gutteridge, it will be an opportunity to showcase the town and wider region. “This would be a great way to advertise the Maffra community and what we have to offer,” he said. “It’ll certainly be one of the biggest events in Maffra.” For the club, it is vindication that Maffra is one of the premiere golf courses in the region. “The rain has been really helpful, and the mowers are going full hammer,” Gutteridge said. The sub-committee has only had a brief two months to plan the event, but Gutteridge said local pro Matt Portelli was instrumental in guiding the group. “Matt has competed in these before, so he is aware of all the things required for the event,” he said. The club has received ample support from PGA Australia to help ensure the event — which would
ordinarily need 12 months’ planning — can get off the ground. “Heath McLeod contacted us and has been extremely helpful,” he said. “I have contacted him several times with questions, and he will always find me an answer.” Gutteridge said the help of volunteers would be crucial to the success of the tournament, and many volunteers had already begun helping. “The sub-committee would meet and plan, but the volunteers would take it and run with it,” he said. The event will feature some high quality golfers, including Perth-based Daniel Fox, who has been a professional since 2003 and has had recent success. Fox has been a late developer — he has won his two PGA tour of Australasia titles in his 30s and 40s — and will certainly be one to watch. The event currently has 18 professional entries, and organisers hope to have the full list of 50 in the coming weeks. File photo
The Maffra Mini Triathlon will be back in March.
Photo: Contributed
Two events up and running in 2022 TWO community events in Maffra and Sale will have residents huffing and puffing next autumn, when the popular Race the Rubeena and Maffra Mini Triathlon return to the sporting calendar. Planning is underway for the Maffra Mini Triathlon, to be held Sunday, March 6, at Maffra Lawn Tennis Club and Maffra pool, followed by the Race the Rubeena a month later on Sunday, April 3. Triathlon co-ordinator, Anthony Goode, said his team was anticipating another wonderful family day of competition. “It will be a fantastic morning of swimming, cycling and running at Maffra Pool,” Goode said.
“People can race in an individual triple triathlon, a team triple triathlon or a team relay triathlon. “Adults and kids’ distances are available, with all ages and levels of fitness catered for. “This is our third year of organising the event, which has proved really popular and caught the imagination of the local community to just come along and have a go.” Sale Rotary Club is up to its fourth year organising Race the Rubeena, where runners and walkers try to beat the historic boat as it makes its way from Sale Canal to the Swing Bridge. This year, the event coincides with the Rubeena
celebrating its 100th birthday. Race director and Rotarian, Gerard Callinan, said next year’s event would be another opportunity for runners and walkers to take on the boat. “We’ll be holding two distance events, a 10 kilometre and a five kilometre,” Callinan said. “The five kilometre event is the classic race against the Rubeena, under the stewardship of captain Alan Lewis from Port of Sale Heritage Cruises.” Money raised from the race will support local projects provided by Sale Rotary Club. Tickets for both events are now on sale.
Busy time for Sale croquet
SALE Croquet Club has been busy throughout November and December, as it ramps up for its tournaments in the new year. The club will host its singles tournament on January 15 and 16, which is already oversubscribed and currently has a waiting list of 10. Member Peter Goldstraw reached the play-off finals at the recent competition in Cairnlea, finishing in fourth place overall. He improved at his next competition in Drouin where he was the winner in the section one. The club has a number of competitions in the New Year — in Traralgon on January 29 and 30, Drouin on February 12 and 13, Wonthaggi on February 19 and 20, and Traralgon again on February 26 and 27.

Jarick Bales up Sale Cup Mark, Lisa and Myles Delbridge with Jarick Bale after his Boxing Day victory, during the Group 1 Sale Cup.
Peter Quilty JARICK Bale stamped himself as the premier middle-distance specialist in the state with a sensational victory in Boxing Day’s $75,000 to-thewinner Group 1 Sale Cup (over 650 metres). Trained by Mark Delbridge at Balliang, Jarick Bale has enjoyed a stellar three weeks at the Gippsland track. In his cup lead-up, Jarick Bale won a heat of the Sale Distance Championship – clocking a mind-boggling 36.72 seconds – and was only one length off the track record. He then finished an unlucky third in the final. Last week he was the fastest Sale Cup qualifier, with a slick 37.13s effort. His past four starts have been at Sale, resulting in three wins and one third. Jarick Bale also did his retired older half-brother Christo Bale proud – also trained by Delbridge – which finished fourth in last year’s final. Ironically, Jarick Bale was third to Christo Bale in the G2 McKenna Memorial (595m) in early July at Sandown Park. More recently, he was runner-up to litter sister and kennel mate Graclyn Bale in the G3 Sir John Dillon Memorial on G1 Melbourne Cup night. In winning the only G1 country cup on Victoria’s racing calendar, Jarick Bale (Mar ’19 Allen Deed x Houston Bale) notched his 19th win (with eight seconds and nine thirds) from 51 starts with stakes totalling $173,258. His past nine outings have netted four wins, one second and four thirds. Always handy from box eight, Jarick Bale ($3.30) defeated staying gem Mepunga Ruby ($3F) – which was chasing her first G1 at her third attempt – by 2.3L with Untapped ($9.30) a ‘whisker’ away third in 37.13sec. Amazingly, his winning time was identical to his heat win when he also exited from the ‘pink’ alley. Trainer Mark Delbridge was impressed by Jarick Bale’s ability to hold his lead. “It was good to see him ‘up there’ early. But he did check himself, and I thought we’d (his chances were) lost,” Delbridge said. “But when he came past me on the rails (rounding the home turn), I thought ‘beautiful’. “He’s a quiet dog; he doesn’t give much emotion.” Page 28 – Times-Spectator, Wednesday, 29 December, 2021
Jarick Bale storms to the finish line past his rivals.
