York St work progresses
Fatal collision at Myrtlebank POLICE are investigating a fatal head-on collision in Myrtlebank on Monday afternoon. It is understood the two vehicles, a sedan and a grey utility, collided on Myrtlebank Rd near Maffra-Sale Rd about 4.30pm on Monday, January 3. The sedan burst into flames before the fire was extinguished by emergency services. Sadly, the driver of the sedan, who was yet to be formally identified yesterday, died at the scene. The male driver and female passenger of the grey utility, which was towing a caravan, were taken to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Officer in Charge of Wellington Highway Patrol Ellane Clarke said that the crash was still in its early investigation stage, with currently no dash cam footage received. "We are hoping that members of the public have footage of a white statesman," Officer Clarke said, "it was possibly travelling along Bengworden Road". Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have dash cam footage, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

West Sale air show planned for April THE Anzac Weekend Airshow will bring aircraft, aerobatic demonstrations and displays to West Sale Airport on April 23 and 24. Showcasing wings of all shapes and sizes, guests will be able to get up close and personal with some incredible machines including RAAF, aerobatic, commercial and recreational aircraft. The event will feature a wide range of displays including cars and motorbikes, as well as activities, live music and local produce from the Gippsland region. The event will celebrate 100 years of the RAAF, and is set to be a fun-filled weekend of aviation action suitable for the whole family. Near-wing camping is available for aircraft owners, so flying directly to the event is an option. Presented by The Middle of Everywhere, Pace Events, Paul Bennet Airshows, the state government and SportPilot magazine, the event is expected to be a major tourism drawcard for the Gippsland region. It will attract thousands of visitors to the area and surrounding local businesses, providing an economic boost to the Wellington Shire. Event director Nicholas Heath is excited for the airshow and hopes it can boost business in Gippsland. “We are excited about the Anzac Weekend

A MAJOR upgrade of York St, Sale, is a step closer to being completed, with Wellington Shire Council awarding the contract for works on the central section of the York Street Revitalisation Project. Improved roadside landscaping, upgraded footpaths, new street lighting and an upgraded smoother road surface will greet motorists on York St (Princes Highway) once the $13.1 million project is completed. The project also involves the removal and undergrounding of power lines, which was completed along with the first rollout of centre median lights earlier this year. The upgrade is being undertaken in several stages along York St. The southern section from Foster St to Macalister St is almost complete, and work on the northern section from Stawell to Raglan Sts is scheduled to begin in January. Work on the central section will begin in March next year. A key part of the project will be the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of York and Cunninghame Sts. Wellington Shire Council Mayor Ian Bye said the new-look stretch of road would be visually more attractive, and the works would also improve traffic safety along the busy street. “For anyone passing along York St, the streetscape works will look great and will entice people off the highway and into the CBD,” Cr Bye said. “It will have a look and feel similar to recent upgrades in the Yarram, Rosedale and Maffra CBDs and the outer areas of York St. “By having a beautiful streetscape and with easy access to enter CBDs, we expect visitors to be more likely to stop, take a look around and spend their money in town.” Council is working with Regional Roads Victoria on the design of the York and Cunninghame St intersection and consulting with key stakeholders. The intersection plan has taken into consideration queues from the McDonald’s drive-through and a lack of gaps for traffic turning from the Princes Highway into Cunninghame St. Council will monitor the drive-through after traffic lights are installed. Gippsland MHR Darren Chester, who said he secured $11.68 million for the project, added the works would improve the town’s attractiveness and encourage travellers to stop instead of passing through. “Having more visitors stop in our region is a boost for local businesses and our economy and helps support local jobs,” he said. “Also improving traffic flow will help reduce congestion and keep motorists and pedestrians safer on our roads.” The cost of the project is being funded by the federal government ($11.68 million), Wellington Shire Council ($1.17 million) and the state government ($250,000).

THE Fire Danger Period (FDP) for Wellington starts at 1am on Monday, January 10 and will be enforced until an end date is provided by the Country Fire Authority (CFA). Open air fires cannot be lit without a written permit from CFA South East Region. Wellington Shire Council will keep conducting Fire Prevention Inspections to make sure communities aren't at high risk, and are asking residents to keep property tidy during summer. The council requests that residents download the VicEmergency app and set up watch zones for your house, work and any other locations that you travel to frequently. FDP restrictions already apply across much of Victoria, with further Fire Danger Periods to be introduced across remaining areas in the coming weeks in accordance with local conditions. The Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Victoria released in November identified potential for increased grassfire conditions for the 2021/22 fire

season. Much of Victoria has experienced average to above average rainfall during winter and spring, and this has led to above normal pasture growth across paddocks and roadsides for much of the state, which is likely to increase the grass fire risk throughout the summer period. Deputy Chief Officer Trevor Owen said that even an average fire season can still be a bad one. “Conditions through the last fire season were similar to what we’re expecting this year, and during those months we saw significant grass fires in the north and west of the state,” DCO Owen said. “Once again we’ve had plenty of winter and spring rainfall which delayed the introduction of fire restrictions across the South East Region. “The grass and bush has very rapidly dried out over the Christmas and New Year period with little rainfall and some hot weather. “Grassland fuels are abundant this season and in many locations over waist height, further increasing the potential grassfire risk over the summer period.
“Any additional rainfall we do experience will only produce more growth, which could very easily result in an even higher fuel load throughout the summer season if not properly managed. “Some grassland fuels in paddocks that has an annual cycle life have fully cured and will burn readily on the smallest ignition source. Reducing fuel loads in these areas is critical to ensuring if a fire does break out, it has less chance of taking hold or spreading.” DCO Owen said there is still an opportunity to clean up properties if that work hasn’t already been done, but added once the FDP comes into effect, CFA has a zero-tolerance approach to any fires caused by negligent behaviour. A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fires can be lit for the declared district for that day unless there is a specific exemption or special permit issued. If people are using fire to clean up around their properties, they should register these at the Fire Permits Website www.firepermits.vic.gov.au, or by calling ESTA on 1800 668 511.

A LOCAL MP says he is relieved to see a review of electricity distribution network resilience is underway in the wake of storminduced outages this year. The Distribution Business Network Resilience Review began in September and is being undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said two significant storms in Gippsland in June and October left thousands of Gippsland residents without power for significant periods of time – in some cases more than two weeks. “I’m hopeful that this review will identify areas where improvements can be made to ensure these prolonged power outages remain few and far between,” he said. The review has already begun looking at ways to improve support for power-dependent customers and better identification and prioritisation of critical infrastructure restoration. Other areas to be assessed as part of the review include more long-term regulatory and infrastructure reforms such as targeted infrastructure improvement and relief to improve community resilience. Mr O’Brien said Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio had indicated that the review would include broad public consultation, with the outcomes to be made publicly available in early 2022. “I have been told that the communities and local councils impacted by the prolonged power outages will be contacted for consultation to form part of this review, and I look forward to seeing that occur," he said. “I have received numerous calls from concerned residents who don’t feel like their concerns are being heard - let alone met - and I remain hopeful that this review will provide a unique opportunity for these people to share their stories.”

WITH no chef in sight, Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club has had to innovate to get people through its doors to enjoy food and a drink while overlooking the spectacular beach these holiday. A food truck parked near the club has provided a solution, helping to get patrons into the club’s bar while the kitchen is closed. Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club bar supervisor John Robbins has worked at the club for three years. “Previously, we had people running the bar and the kitchen,” he said. “They left last year and we got a new guy in, and he had a lot of trouble finding a chef, then he found one and they pulled out. “And they had another two chefs and they pulled out, and it got to the point where he could no longer justify staying here, so he moved back to Melbourne.” October was the last time they had a chef. “They worked one weekend and that was it,” Mr Robbins said. “They had a job somewhere else and I think it’s a COVID thing — there’s a shortage of hospitality workers everywhere. “And of course when you’re a bit further out, it’s harder to get people. “When there is a shortage, of course everyone takes the best job they can get. “Seaspray is a beautiful place to work, but it is only busy for three months of the year — this is our busiest period now.” The Schnitz food truck has helped fill the gap, operating next to the club since Boxing Day. “We’d love to find a chef, but right now we’re doing what we can with what we have, and Schnitz have been great, so it’s a good partnership for the time being,” Mr Robbins said. “They helped us out in a pinch. “A lot of families come down here, so the clientele is people wanting to have a drink with their food.” Mr Robbins said they’d been advertising the chef job for a while, but had few applications. “We’re looking for someone who is going to cook good food and is ready to have a go,” he said. “And be reliable — that’s what we’re after.” Not having a chef limits the number of patrons into the club. “Previously we could do 400 to 500 meals a night during this busy period,” Mr Robbins said. “But now with just drinks we have a much smaller turnover, so certainly that will impact the club’s revenue used for volunteering and competing.

Consider a career in child protection
TWO child protection practitioners from Sale are encouraging more people to sign up for the rewarding work and change the lives of families, as part of a campaign to boost the workforce in key areas. Outer Gippsland, which includes Sale, has been identified as a priority area to recruit more child protection staff, and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing is asking new graduates, people contemplating a career change and those wanting to make a difference to consider a role in child protection. Sale child protection workers Sammy Sibanda and Jamayca Peel say the job can be challenging, but the rewards in keeping children safe and families strong always outweighed any hard days. Ms Sibanda, a mother of two, was born in Zimbabwe and completed her social work degree in Namibia, before working at Lifeline Childline in 2015, where she specialised in family violence, sexual abuse and neglect. She moved to Australia as a Department of Families, Fairness and Housing International Recruit in 2018, and now works as an advanced child protection practitioner in case contracting in the Sale and Bairnsdale offices. Ms Sibanda works directly with families, including checking in on parents and guardians, visiting children at home, and contacting schools. She also has statutory involvement with families and case planning to ensure ongoing safety for children. “Child protection is more than you think,” she said. “It’s on the front lines of communities to keep families together and children safe. “You can work at a range of levels and cover
different tasks, including investigation, management and emergency response. It’s a stable career where you really can make a real difference to people’s lives every day. “We are part of a care team and get to work with police and social workers – and you’re always supported in this job by your team, so are never facing anything alone.” Ms Sibanda told the Gippsland Times that while it seemed to be calm during the holiday season, the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic had taken a toll on families. “We’ve seen a high rise of children going through extreme neglect, because parents had lost their job or their home,” Ms Sibanda said. “That’s played a role on where we’ve seen a huge risk in children and we’ve been involved more. “It was a bit tricky for us, because at some point we couldn’t do home visits. “There were no eyes on those children, so even the support services that we depend on couldn’t do home visits.” Ms Peel has been working in child protection for six years, after previously working as a neonatal intensive care nurse for 10 years in Western Australia. She is currently the team manager in investigation and response in Sale and Bairnsdale, and says the one-on-one time with families is her favourite part of the job. Her current role involves risk assessment for children, including meeting with families, gathering information, and following up with services. As a team manager she also supports the practitioners to undertake home visits and implement case plans for families.

“In this job, you really have the authority to make real change, quickly,” Ms Peel said. “The department is constantly evolving and changing the way we work with children and families – and I don’t think there’s ever been a better time to work on the front line.” The state government is aiming to recruit more
than 280 new children protection practitioners across metropolitan and regional Victoria as part of the Go Where You’re Needed campaign and has spent $2.2 billion on the children and families system during the past two years.

The redeveloped Aqua Energy indoor pool in Sale will now have seven lanes.
Seventh heaven for Aqua Energy WELLINGTON Shire Council has made adjustments to plans for the redevelopment of the indoor pool at Aqua Energy to create a seven-lane indoor pool. In September 2021, Haskell Architects was awarded a contract to review the concept design to maximise the number of pool lanes that could be achieved under the current building floor plan and complete a detailed design. Haskell Architects recommended a change to the concept design, a seven-lane indoor 25 metre pool
that has support from stakeholders and user groups and will involve an estimated $1.4 million increase to the budget. Council adopted this revised plan at the most recent council meeting, and councillor Scott Rossetti discussed how important these adjustments were. “It is terrific to see that progressing,” he said “We are having a number of conversations with stakeholders, user groups and the general public — and this is the next stage of it,” he said.

THE Health Department is warning that button batteries can be deadly for children. Button batteries are found in common household items including many toys, remote controls, hearing aids, watches, calculators, games and greeting cards. The coin-sized batteries are easy for small children to get their hands on and can cause life-threatening injuries if swallowed. If a button battery becomes lodged in the body, it can emit current resulting in burns, haemorrhage and life threatening injury. A Royal Children’s Hospital spokesperson said a button battery stuck in a child’s oesophagus was a “surgical emergency”. “We take the child straight to theatre because we know that within hours they can get a significant burn, so we want to take it out,” he said. He said in serious cases the child may require feeding and breathing tubes after surgery. The spokesperson said children should never be allowed to play with button batteries. “Keep household items you suspect may contain button batteries out of reach,” he advised. “Don’t allow children to play with car keys, remote controls or other household products containing button batteries. “Check toys in your home that contain button batteries and ensure they either have screw-on battery covers so that batteries can’t fall out or be easily removed — or discard

Senior Citizens say sharing space with U3A won’t work Stefan Bradley
SALE Senior Citizens’ Club is set to enter a cotenancy with another senior group, Sale U3A, from February — but not everyone is happy with the new arrangement. Wellington Shire Council has been attempting to facilitate two separate arrangements with Sale Senior Citizens’ Club and Sale U3A. According to Sale Senior Citizens’ Club president Yvonne Martin, the parties have been unable to reach an agreement with Sale U3A, but council is pushing ahead anyway. Ms Martin said they felt pressured. “About 10 months ago, we were approached by council officers to bring another group into this building on a co-tenancy basis,” Ms Martin said, “bearing in mind we’ve been caring for this building for 50 years on our own without interference, and now all of a sudden we’ve got the council telling us what’s going to happen”. The building was declared open on June 14, 1968, with the title made out to ‘The Mayor, Councillors and Citizens of the City of Sale’. After undertaking research and receiving advice, Sale Senior Citizens’ Club learnt that legally they don’t have control of the centre any more. “Even though the whole building, the land, everything, was provided by public donations, canvassing, fundraising — it was all private money,” Ms Martin said. A copy of title documents seen by the Gippsland Times show that in 2013, council applied for the recording of a Disposition of Land. The original title ‘The Mayor, Councillors and Citizens of the City of Sale’ was changed to ‘Wellington Shire Council — sole proprietor’. Ms Martin said the group was in disbelief as to how this could have happened. “You’ve got a building here worth half a million bucks which we thought was ours — turns out legally, it isn’t,” she said. “But morally?” “That’s a bit rough I think, just to assume ownership.” Sale Senior Citizens’ Club believes the change has had little effect on the group’s operations,

Sale Senior Citizens’ Club secretary Joy Wallace, president Yvonne Martin, treasurer Vivienne Martin and vice-treasurer Lesley Jones feel railroaded into the centre’s new co-tenancy arrangement with U3A. Photo: Stefan Bradley apart from the lease requirements, and members have been able to run the centre without interference — until now. From the time the co-tenancy proposal came up 10 months ago, many scenarios have been put to Sale Senior Citizens’ Club, and Ms Martin said they looked at each one carefully. “All of which we’ve looked at really carefully, and decided that the financials and the physicality of it is not going to work for us,” she said. Under council’s plan, Sale U3A will be allocated the facility’s carpet bowls room. Ms Martin said U3A would be given exclusive access to the room, except for Friday afternoons when Sale Senior Citizens’ Club members would use it for carpet bowls. “At the moment that room is under-used, I’ll admit that, but being seniors we’ve had a few people fall off the perch, mostly bowlers,” Ms Martin said. “And because of COVID, we haven’t marketed it, because what’s the good of organising tournaments if you’re open this week and then not open next week for a month?” “But now that we’re living with COVID — or coping with it — we’re ready to go, but we’ve lost the room, so we can’t go anywhere.” Ms Martin said the carpet bowlers would have
to roll up the mats after they had finished so U3A members could use the room. “Those mats are 30 feet long and six feet wide, and our bowlers are in their 70s and 80s. Would you like your mum to roll up a mat that size? “They are providing us with rollers, but they are manual rollers, and they’re still difficult to operate, so our bowling program is going to go under. “We might only have a few bowlers at the moment, but we had plans to extend it, and that’s going to curtail all those.” In a statement, Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye said Sale U3A was “in need of a new home and the Sale Senior Citizens have a considerable amount of under-used space in a council-owned building”. “Council has worked to ensure there will be no financial impact to the Sale Senior Citizens by having the Sale U3A share the space as co-tenants,’’ he said. “It makes sense to have both groups utilise this space, both from a financial point of view because there will be a sharing of running and maintenance costs for the building, and it will also provide better access to programs and activities by the older people in our community.” U3A was approached for comment, but a spokesperson said its members wanted to wait until the draft arrangement was released in mid-January.
Money for flood mitigation works APPLICATIONS are now open for priority flood mitigation infrastructure projects in Gippsland. An additional $50 million of funding is available through the federal government’s National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Program. Gippsland MHR Darren Chester said the funding was available for projects that would reduce the effects of major flooding on communities. “Here in Gippsland, we have seen first-hand the impact that floods can have on our region and how widespread the damage can be,” Mr Chester said. “Projects can include levees and levee systems, infrastructure to promote flood plain restoration and specific green infrastructure initiatives that mitigate flood risk.” The program guidelines for the National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure program 2021-22 are now available. Applications close on February 4, 2022. For more information or to submit an application, visit recovery.gov.au/ programs/national-flood-mitigation-infrastructureprogram-2021-2022
Grill-em owners Selda and Taylan Çetin at their food truck in Stratford.

Tastes of Turkey in Stratford Stefan Bradley STRATFORD-based couple Selda and Taylan Çetin serve delicious kebabs, halal snack packs, falafels and gourmet Turkish meals at their Grill-em food truck business. “Taste makes the difference,” Selda said, adding Taylan put his love into the cooking. “And Taylan is generous with the portions,” she laughed. Grill-em began in 2017. “Before the business, we came from Turkey in 2011 and we first arrived to Alberton and then moved to Sale, and I started working at Turkish Magic in Stratford for five-and-a-half years,” Selda said. “Taylan worked for five years at the Maffra Cheese Company, and then we opened this business.” It was two years after they arrived to the area that they made the move to Stratford. “It is a nice, quiet town,” Selda said.
“We find it very safe for our kids, we have friends here and we just love it. “We don’t want to live anywhere else.” At first, they frequently took the Grill-em food truck all around Wellington Shire to festivals, weddings and private events, but after buying a shed to house the truck, they now spend the majority of their time at the Stratford site. As the food truck’s popularity has increased, they didn’t want to disappoint their customers by not having it in town. Hungry patrons from Stratford, Maffra, Sale, Briagolong, Boisdale, Heyfield and Bairnsdale have become loyal customers. And with the holiday season traffic, there’s a lot of passers-by seeking out meals. After the holidays, they expect things to slow down. Selda said the most challenging parts of the job were the long hours, early mornings and late nights. “But it’s worth it,” she said.

Trained sniffer dogs are being used to find the droppings of native animals and feral pests to understand their diet and geographic spread in east Gippsland. The highly-trained canines are able to do it much more quickly than people. Supported by a Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery Grant, a program jointly managed by Landcare Australia, the National Landcare Network and Landcare peak bodies, the East Gippsland Landcare Network in Victoria recently used detection dogs to locate fox droppings. Following the Black Summer Bushfires in 2019, areas within the district were badly burnt, leaving native animals extremely vulnerable to foxes. The local Landcare group also wanted to understand how many foxes were in the district, what they ate, and where they roamed. East Gippsland Landcare Network project manager, Matt Stephenson, said trained sniffer dogs brought from Phillip Island were crucial for finding this information and did so in significantly less time than if the network relied on the legwork of volunteers. “What would have taken a week and a half with three or four volunteers only took a day and a half with the dogs,” Mr Stephenson said. The dogs had previously been used for fox control to help protect the famous Little Penguins on Phillip Island, so they knew the scent they were looking for before they arrived to work in east Gippsland. Dog handler Craig Bester said he chose English
English springer spaniels have been brought into east Gippsland to sniff out fox waste. springer spaniels “to sniff out the fox waste because they naturally work from side to side in front of the handler.” Once collected, the droppings proved the feral foxes had eaten small lizards and amphibians, and had feasted on cattle, sheep carcasses and
lamb carcasses. Mr Stephenson said this information — and an understanding of the fox numbers and range, all derived from the scats — would be used to work out a strategy for controlling the fox population. In Queensland, Noosa and District Landcare
was also successful in obtaining a Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery Grant for a glider survey and restoration project. As part of that project, sniffer dogs will soon be trialled to understand how well they can find endangered greater gliders, which are notoriously difficult to find using traditional methods of nocturnal spotlight searches. Noosa and District Landcare business and partnerships manager, Rachel Lyons, said greater gliders typically lived in tree canopies, as high as 30 to 50 metres from the ground. “From the research we have seen, only four to seven per cent of gliders are seen by people undertaking standard visual surveys,” she said. Ms Lyons said the sniffer dogs would be used to find glider droppings in the national park and on private land. She said they had a team of 15 volunteers which had been trained to work on the project. Locating glider populations is crucial to ensuring the species’ survival, so land managers can focus their efforts on protecting and managing their unburnt habitat and old trees with large hollows, manage pests and install nest boxes for the animals where they are needed. “We’ll test the dogs to see if they locate glider scat and test against our normal survey technique to see if they correlate,” Ms Lyons said. The $14 million Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery Grants Program is supporting projects in regions affected by the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-20, and has been funded by the Australian Government’s Bushfire Recovery Program for Wildlife and their Habitat.
Helping local heat-stressed wildlife
People are being urged to put out water for wildlife on hot days.
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.

Invasive species most destructive factor Philip Hopkins
INVASIVE species have been the major cause of native animal and plant extinctions – worse than habitat destruction and climate change, according to a recent CSIRO report. “Since European settlement, invasive species have contributed to the confirmed extinctions of 79 Australian species,” the ‘Fighting Plagues and Predators’ report says. “More recently, invasive species have been the dominant driver in nearly all extinctions since the 1960s. “Feral cats and red foxes have already killed off at least 25 native mammal species across central and southern Australia. “Climate change is opening the door for the infamous cane toad and what were regarded as tropical and subtropical weeds to stray into southern states.” In the report, released in November,the CSIRO said carp and tilapia (introduced into Australia in the 1970s as ornamental fish and now a threat to biodiversity) were spreading south through floods, while mice, foxes and feral horses benefited from climate change in alpine areas. “Bushfires clear the way for feral cats to prey on pygmy possums, while fast-breeding rabbits, goats and deer are often the first to feast on new plant growth, reducing carbon storage and leaving native creatures without food or safe habitat,” said the report. The CSIRO reported more than 1250 (eight in 10) of Australia’s land-based threatened species were imperilled by invasive species. “Much of the blame rests with 207 weed species, 57 invasive animals and three pathogens,” the report reads. “Australia is burdened with more than 2700 weeds, making up 12 per cent of our flora, a higher proportion than in any other continent. “About 20 new weed species have been establishing each year – or one new weed every 18 days. Weeds are transforming Australia’s landscapes, displacing native plants, increasing fuel loads for

bushfires and choking waterways.” The CSIRO estimated that invasive species – mainly weeds, cats, rabbits and fire ants – were conservatively estimated to have cost Australia $390 billion during the past 60 years in impacts and control measures. “The most expensive individual pests to control are cats, rabbits and fire ants,” said the study. “Climate change is already making Australia’s invasive species problem more urgent and unpredictable.” The CSIRO noted that Australia was a world leader in biological control. Successes included control of prickly pear, aquatic weed and rabbits. “We now need to take advantage of new genetic and digital technologies … that can find and

Parliamentary inquiry into regional news services AUSTRALIA’S regional news services will be the focus of a new parliamentary inquiry. The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts will hear evidence about newspaper services in rural, regional and remote areas. Committee chair, federal member for Mallee Dr Anne Webster, said local news was a vital component to interconnected communities and a thriving democracy, particularly in smaller markets where there was little choice in where communities could access news coverage. A recent survey has found that Australians living in regional communities are far more likely to go to their local news or newspaper website for information than other accessible online sources like search engines, social media sites or local council websites. Dr Webster said at a time when many regional and remote newspaper services were shutting down or moving online, it was vital that the needs of regional communities, and how heavily they relied on their local newspapers to stay connected,
was understood. As part of the inquiry the committee will examine the impact of decisions by large publishers to suspend publication of print editions; entry into these or other markets by new operators, particularly small businesses; the impact of the News Media Bargaining Code for regional and remote newspapers; and the economic recovery in regional and remote markets from the impacts of COVID, and whether this has led to advertising revenue improving. Anyone can make a submission to the inquiry which addresses some or all of the terms of reference. The terms of reference are available at www.

These technologies included drones and automated sensor networks to protect farms from invasive animals such as wild dogs and feral pigs and monitor and report airborne pests and diseases. “Wireless sensor networks, often in remote terrains, are providing cost-effective solutions to tracking,” said the report, allowing land managers to take action. To control invasive species, the report emphasised emerging technologies – artificial intelligence, big data analytics, genomic and genetic technology, remote sensing and remote learning.

DOB: Wind farm planning change “sneaky” A LOCAL politician has labelled a state government planning change that disallows construction within one kilometre of the nearest wind farm property as “sneaky”. The state government’s change to Victorian planning provisions under amendment VC212 means that neighbours of a wind farm can no longer build a house, bed and breakfast, worker accommodation or any other dwelling from within one kilometre of the nearest title boundary of land that hosts a wind farm rather than a wind turbine itself. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien described the change as “a sneaky decision enacted by the Planning Minister without any public consultation, no panel hearing or communication before it was gazetted”. “The government likes to try and portray itself as green friendly by approving wind farms left right and centre, but it has no concern for the impact these wind farms cause in local communities,” he said. “Not only do neighbours now have to put up with the visual and noise intrusion caused by wind farms, they will be restricted even further from what they can construct on their own land without getting a permit. “Currently, most landowners in the farm zone have an ‘as of right’ ability to build a house or similar dwelling. “Now if the site is within 1km of the boundary of a property that hosts a wind farm they must apply for a permit. “This will apply even if a wind farm hasn’t been built, but an application for a permit has been lodged with the government. Mr O’Brien said the government was trying to spin the change as being implemented to “protect” neighbours and proposed houses, tourist accommodation or other dwellings. “The government constantly tells us that there are no issues with wind farms in rural settings, and yet now it is apparently trying to ‘protect’ neighbours by blocking them from doing things with their own land,” he said. “I remain a supporter of renewable energy, but onshore wind farms cause enormous community angst and need to be sited only in the most appropriate places.”

Now that’s using your Nüdel
GUTHRIDGE Primary School students have something to look forward to when they return to school in 2022, after Freemasons Victoria’s Gippsland Lodge No. 51, bought a Nüdel Kart for the school. The Nüdel Kart, developed in Australia in 2018, supports students’ development through informal, or loose part play. Gippsland Lodge Master, Dr Iain Nicolson, said the cart provided students with the opportunity to use their imaginations to build objects. “But more than that, it teaches them the social skills of teamwork, cooperation and negotiation – all vital life skills that they will take beyond their time at school,” he said. School principal, Emily Streitberg, having first sighted a Nüdel Kart almost three years ago, was happy to see one unveiled at the school earlier this month. “This will mean so much to all the students and staff here,” she said. “It will enable teachers to engage in hands-on learning for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) for students.” Guthridge Primary School is the third local school to receive help from the Masonic Lodge. Freemasons Foundation Victoria chair, Rodney Lavin, said the lodge should be applauded for its “amazing efforts” to continue its support of local young people. “From classroom furniture to Sale 545 Primary School, a bus to Sale and District Specialist School and now a Nüdel Kart, it demonstrates the commitment the lodge has to supporting the education of young people in our community,” he said. Freemasonry is the world’s oldest fraternal organisation, and is open to like-minded men joining its ranks. Dr Nicolson said members worked on a range of projects throughout the year.

better husband, a better father, a better version of themselves, which sees them often take on further community work in our community.” Gippsland Lodge is hoping to re-ignite its charity golf day next year.
Don’t leave pets in cars or on utes, even briefly 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.

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.
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

Huge migration to Gippsland needs govt investment GIPPSLAND South is a destination of choice for those fleeing city life, with the local government areas of Wellington and South Gippsland shires experiencing a 25 and 19 per cent growth in migration last quarter respectively, according to data from the Regional Movers Index. The index, developed by the Regional Australia Institute, analyses movements between Australia’s regions and capital cities. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said the September quarter data underscored the importance of addressing housing affordability and availability and the folly of the new housing tax. “It comes as no surprise to me that people are choosing our beautiful Gippsland South to relocate to,” Mr O’Brien said. “Labor’s lockdowns have had an unexpected upside in that more city dwellers now see the immense value in regional living – and what better region than the green hills and picturesque beaches that Gippsland South has to offer? “However, the government needs to act swiftly to ensure this growth doesn’t compound existing issues with housing availability and affordability for locals, as well as ensuring local infrastructure like roads, schools and hospitals are up to scratch.
“I am hearing regularly of the trouble people are having finding housing in Gippsland.” Recent reports from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria show a significant increase in house prices across the Gippsland South electorate. “The average house price in Sale has increased from $310,000 in June 2020 to $385,000 in June this year, while prices in Korumburra have shot from an average of $383,000 to $480,000,” Mr O’Brien said. “Meanwhile Labor is about to whack a giant tax on new housing which will make a home less affordable by driving up the average cost of a new house block by $30,000.” Mr O’Brien said if elected to government, The Nationals would bring an extra 50,000 new housing lots to market across rural and regional Victoria to put downward pressure on prices. “We need to make sure local people can buy a house, whether it be their first home or their dream home,” he said. “We will also reinstate the successful rural flying planning squads, with specialist planners to help cut the lengthy delays of local councils.” The data from the Regional Movers Index can be viewed in full at www.regionalaustralia.org.au/home/
THE Conservation Regulator and Forest Fire Management Victoria are reminding campers and day-trippers visiting forests and parks during the holiday season to follow the rules around campfires, rubbish, and four-wheel driving and trail bike riding. About 10 per cent of bushfires in Victoria are caused by illegal campfires, including unattended campfires. Since the beginning of November, authorised officers have detected 70 unattended campfires across the state. Campers and day-trippers are being urged to check weather conditions and warnings on the Vic Emergency website or app before lighting campfires, and should never light campfires on Total Fire Ban days. They are also advised to take along enough water to extinguish a camp fire if there will be not water available at the site, adding it can take at least three full buckets of water to extinguish a campfire. In state forests, purpose-built fireplaces should be used, or campfires should be lit in a trenches at least 30cm deep. Branches and logs used on fires must be less than a metre long. Campfires should never be left unattended and water (not soil) should be used to completely extinguish them before leaving. Visitors to state forests must also take out anything they take in, including rubbish. For four-wheel-drivers and trail bike riders, there is an extensive network of roads and tracks in parks, forests and reserves open to the public.
Since the beginning of November, authorised officers have detected 70 unattended campfires across Victoria. Authorities say sticking to these will prevent soil erosion and native vegetation destruction and keep drivers and riders on the right side of the law. Track updates can be found at mapshare.vic.gov. au/mapsharevic or on the More to Explore app. Authorised officers are patrolling across the state, and penalties apply to people caught breaking the rules.

Local outdoor pools to open every day in Jan Photo: Anita Marshall
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.
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.

Earth Resources Regulation’s executive director, Anthony Hurst, said prospectors holding a miner’s right could enjoy searching for gold using metal detectors or hand tools like sieves and pans. “Recreational prospecting has a long and rewarding history in Victoria,” said. “It’s important modern gold hunters are aware of the rules and how to remain safe.” In Victoria, recreational prospectors must possess a miner’s right, which allows them to keep any gold they find. Valuable discoveries have been made in recent times, and a gold nugget worth about $200,000 was discovered by a prospector in 2019. There are almost 65,000 active miner’s rights in Victoria and the rush to get involved shows no sign of slowing, with more than 10,000 bought in during 2021. Prospecting is a low impact way of looking for gems or minerals using metal detectors, picks,
shovels, sieves and pans. The use of mechanical equipment or explosives is not permitted, and vegetation and Aboriginal objects must not be removed or damaged. Activities are permitted in state forests and regional parks, some national parks, state parks and waterways. Landholder permission is required before entering private properties. Inspectors regularly check miner’s rights and ensure prospectors are doing the right thing. Earth Resources Regulation oversees prospecting and has produced a ‘Guide to Recreational Prospecting in Victoria’, outlining the rules and providing handy tips for newcomers and the more experienced. When out in the bush prospectors must be aware of safety — particularly during hot weather or after heavy rain when rocks can be dislodged and land near rivers may become unstable. Recreational prospectors should always tell someone where they are going, when they will return and should always be beware of old mine shafts. A miner’s right can be bought online for $25.55 by visiting earthresources.vic.gov.au

Stefan Bradley FAMILIES and friends have returned to Lake Glenmaggie in droves as summer heats up, providing perfect conditions for recreational activities. Originally from Rosedale and now living on the Morning Peninsula, Danielle Stewart was one of many visitors having some fun on the water. “We’re here for a family day trip,” she said as her dogs barked from their vehicle. With a smile and thumbs up, Danielle’s jet ski took off.
Marc Salerno was another holidayer and was visiting with friends, including locals. They were also enjoying the summer heat and jet skiing. Sue and Steve Celar from Point Cook had been scouting the area looking for good spots to take their boat. “It’s our first time here and we love it,” Sue said. During December, the reservoir levels at Lake Glenmaggie have consistently been more than 95 per cent, according to Southern Rural Water, providing opportunities for skiing and water play.

Locals perform well at Gippsland Wine Show
WINERIES from across Gippsland showcased their wines in the annual 2021 Gippsland Wine Show, with 40 medals awarded at the annual celebration held at Phillip Island Winery recently. Wineries in central Gippsland took out three of the top class awards — Blue Gables’ 2019 Jesse Chardonnay, Glenmaggie Wines’ 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon and Toms Cap’s 3 Dog Sauvignon Blanc 2021. Blue Gables also won the steward’s award for its 2019 chardonnay. Wine Gippsland chair, Alistair Hicks, said the tasting and awards dinner at the Phillip Island Winery’s new Atrium venue was an opportunity to end a challenging year with an in-person celebration for Gippsland’s wine producers and supporters. “We thank our sponsors for their support of Gippsland wineries, who are largely small to medium producers, playing an important role in promoting the recovery of food and drink tourism in the region,” he said. The wine show entries were judged a week earlier at the new Cape Paterson Surf Lifesaving Club, with the judging panel led by multi award-winning Yarra Yering general manager and winemaker, Sarah Crowe. In her review of the wines, shown on video at the awards,

The Guide THE WAR OF THE WORLDS ABC TV, Friday, 9pm
This epic three-part miniseries is the latest take on H.G. Wells’ classic alien invasion story and tries to stay as close to the 1897 novel as possible. Set in 1905 England, hi-tech gadgetry is well out of place, so when a mysterious capsule lands in the Surrey countryside, the political leaders of the day call on residents – in typical British fashion – to “keep calm and carry on”. But when scores of people are killed the brutal reality of an extraterrestrial attack is impossible to avoid. Starring Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) and Rafe Spall, this is a gripping and innovative version of the sci-fi favourite.

Novelist David Nicholls is a prolific writer of the sorts of books that get under your skin because of the sheer humanness of the characters’ foibles and interactions. He took book to screen in this four-part adaptation, staying on as screenwriter which gives Us a rare sense of authenticity. Douglas (Tom Hollander, pictured) traipses around Europe on a family holiday in the hopes of winning back the love of his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves). Clinging on to the idea of the family unit as he knew it, he is also eager to mend the relationship with his son Albie (Tom Taylor). In the finale, Douglas faces an emergency in Barcelona.
We all know the dramas never stop unfolding on Ramsay Street or in Lassiters Hotel, but fans were left for a rude shock this past season when the veteran soapie actually did take a break. In fact, for three long weeks, Paul (Stefan Dennis) and the crew disappeared from our screens. It was a shock after the show did not stop for a breath of air at all last year, but now we are safely back into the swing of life in Erinsborough. Roxy (Zima Anderson, pictured) is bursting with happiness to have her mother back in town for the wedding. Meanwhile, Jane (Annie Jones) has enough of Paul’s selfishness and snaps at him. It’s classic Neighbours melodrama.
The world is rife with heavily edited reality shows that come with a cavalcade of camera crews behind the scenes. However, we all suspect that the folks trying to survive in the jungle or race across the world with empty wallets are secretly being handed a packet of chips or a chocolate when the cameras aren’t rolling, which is what makes this Canadian series unique. In Alone, the contestants are left to their own devices and must film their own footage as they try to survive in the wilderness. It’s genius and compelling viewing. In this special, we find out how the producers decide who makes the cut for this gruelling show.

Better conditions, increased pasture for Gippsland’s livestock producers and increasing stocking rates to the second-highest level ever recorded. Farmers in northern Victoria doubled their profit in 2020-21 compared to the previous year, and recorded the highest average gross farm income in the project’s history for this region. Northern Victorian farmers achieved this by increasing livestock and feed inventories and using the additional pasture growth to rebuild stock numbers, particularly in sheep enterprises, to the highest levels recorded in 17 years. Participation in the 2020-21 project was the highest in 12 years, with increased participation underpinned by Agriculture Victoria’s sheep and beef networks known as the BestWool/BestLamb and BetterBeef. Livestock Farm Monitor participants’ identity is kept anonymous, and each receives a confidential individualised report to use to understand the cash, profit and wealth position of their business which helps inform investment decisions (including loan applications), on-farm decision making and resilience building. Farmers who participate in the project increase their understanding of their farm business, which builds resilience and improves their ability to adapt to change, which is a commitment of the Victorian government’s agriculture strategy.

VICTORIA’S livestock producers have recorded some of their best profit performances in almost 20 years — and are using the good times to prepare for the future. Agriculture Victoria farm business economist, Sam Henty, said the results of the 51st Livestock Farm Monitor Project showed 97 of the 113 participating farm businesses recorded a positive 2020-21 profit result. “The 2020-21 project results identified strong red meat prices, and good seasonal conditions helped keep farm incomes and stocking rates high,” Mr Henty said. “Sheep and cattle producers are using the favourable conditions to prepare for future challenges, such as climate change, by investing in new or upgrading machinery, repaying debt and applying capital fertiliser to pastures.” Favourable rainfall at key times in east and central Gippsland increased pasture availability and reduced variable costs because of a lower reliance on supplementary feed. Gippsland farmers took advantage of the record high beef prices, with farms recording their third highest profit in 17 years of the project. The livestock sector has faced seasonal challenges in Gippsland and northern Victoria with drought, fires and floods in recent years, and the improved performances in these two regions is welcome news. The south-west had the highest profit of all the regions, with farms maintaining quality pastures

Real estate agency helps local charity’s cause
W
ELLINGTON Real Estate’s Sale, Maffra and Stratford offices helped support a worthwhile cause in the lead up to Christmas. When the call went out to support A Better Life for Foster Kids — which works to improve short and long term foster care and kinship care for local children — the real estate agency leapt at the opportunity. After learning 85 per cent of children removed from their homes and placed into out of home care arrive with nothing but the clothes they are wearing, Wellington Real Estate’s Bronwyn Segafredo was only too happy to organise giving trees. She said the response was amazing. “We were blown away by the generosity, not only from our staff but our rental providers and the community members that contributed,”she said. The agency’s director, Tony Kiss, was also astounded by the generosity of those who gave. “We live in an amazing community, and we would like to thank everyone that donated the many gifts and vouchers,” he said. “The generosity of small business owners, individuals, staff, and families has enabled A Better Life for Foster Kids to provide gifts and spread happiness this Christmas to very vulnerable children in our area.”

$262,000 in 2019. While it still hasn’t quite closed the gap between its own market and Sale, during the last quarter, Maffra’s median house price jumped three per cent. The average three bedroom home in Maffra goes for $325,000, while the median price for a four bedrooms is $395,000. Rent in Maffra is not quite as expensive as in Sale, averaging $330 per week, but the yield is still higher than the state average at five per cent. While house prices enjoyed a meteoric rise pre-COVID down the road in Stratford, they actually fell 0.6 per cent during the September quarter. The median house price in Stratford is $360,000 — just $30,000 short of Sale — and still an increase of $10,000 on this time last year, and $82,000 on prices in 2018. In good news for Stratford’s investment buyers, the rent in Stratford is actually higher than that in Sale, averaging $410 per week, with a yield of 5.9 per cent. Loch Sport’s median sale price has nearly doubled in four years. The $320,000 median is actually a decrease of 2.3 per cent in the past quarter, but could be attributed to lack of stock. During the first half of this year, Loch Sport’s median price skyrocketed from $230,000 to $328,000.

ELLINGTON’S real estate market is still doing well across the board. According to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, house prices in Sale have been steadily increasing since the end of 2019, with a 1.3 per cent increase during the September quarter. Sale’s median house price during the third quarter of 2021 was $390,000 — compared with $340,000 during the same time in 2020, and $325,000 in 2019. Sale’s average three bedroom home is worth $336,000, while the average four bedroom home fetches $452,000. The median price for a unit in Sale at the end of the third quarter of 2021 was $275,000, compared with a low of $215,000 in 2019. Sale’s price rise is still behind regional Victoria’s overall increase of 3.8 per cent during the last quarter, and median house price of $570,000. It is important to remember regional Victoria includes the state’s regional centres such as Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat. Rent in Sale is higher than the state average, at $390 per week (regional Victoria’s is $385), with a rental yield of 5.2 per cent (compared with the state’s 3.8 per cent). Maffra’s market is also climbing, with a median sale price of $340,000 — up from

Sharyn’s success Gregor Mactaggart BUNDALAGUAH trainer Sharyn Trolove did not have to wait long for her first winner of 2022. Trolove’s trip to Stony Creek yesterday reaped rewards when Make An Effort scored a thrilling win in the Pink Roses Benchmark 58 Handicap (1000m). Ridden by apprentice jockey Tayla Childs, Make An Effort ($10) overhauled Baronessa ($3.90) by the narrowest of margins following a cracking battle over the concluding stages. The win was the fourth from 27 starts for Make An Effort, a five-year-old mare by Reward For Effort. Trolove also prepared two second placegetters at Stony Creek. Raid The Bar ($5) finished runner-up to the Garry Douch-prepared Ally’s Reward ($4.40) in the Ladbrokes Switch Benchmark 58 Handicap (2100m). Strikeout ($18) ran a game race to finish behind Ruby Edition ($5.50) in the Better Rural Health Services Maiden Plate (1600m). Trolove has nominated Tycoon Felix and Hard to Kiss for Saturday’s Healesville Cup (1650m), one of the icon events on the picnic circuit. Still on the picnics and Sale trainer Troy Kilgower
won the Elders Merton Cup (1900m) on New Year’s Day with All Brown. Ridden by Grant Seccombe, All Brown ($3) scored a comfortable six-length success from Derek The Viking. The Cup triumph was the second leg of a winning double for both trainer and jockey after Calypso Rich broke his maiden status at start 28 in the Lister Family Maiden Plate (1150m). Like Trolove, Kilgower has his sights on a busy weekend with runners at Healesville and Sunday’s Mansfield meeting. Brughelino, All Brown and Cordoba are nominated for Saturday’s Healesville Cup (1650m), while he has four possible contenders in Sunday’s Mansfield Cup, run at the 1250m trip. Fellow Sale trainer Damien ‘Jack’ Walkley was rewarded for his patience and persistence with Bucks when the striking grey son of Pierro won at Mornington on December 29. Bucks ($18) was given an armchair ride by jockey Celine Gaudray and packed too much over the concluding stages to hold off Magic Promise in the William John Barratt Plate (2000m). The horse started his career at Lindsay Park and had a stint with David Noonan before joining the Walkley stable. Bucks had been minor placed in two of his six starts before his victory at his 18th outing.

Racing’s thrills and spills
Participation data out for local football
BOXING Day entertainment at Bairnsdale Speedway thrilled fans with some big crashes, fast racing, first time winners and records all part of a great time at the dirt track. Dillon Siely won his first ever Sprintcar final, taking advantage of two drivers ahead of him running wide as they battled each other through the final corners. Leigh Mitchell set a 15-lap record in Division 2 Hot Rods on his way to victory. Victorian champion Damon Ingram set new records in Junior Standard Saloons as he won and Daniel Stewart claimed a great victory in a tough field of Standard Saloons at the home of this years Victorian title for the class. In the Sprintcars, Siely won the first qualifier of the night leading all 10 laps on his way to the chequered flag. David McKay then won the fastest of the nights heat races next up and set the fastest one lap speed of the night. Shane Steenholdt and then Peter Laity both won qualifiers in round two. A 20-lap final rounded out the evening with Steenholdt from the pole position leading McKay, Bastian, Laity, Noonan and Siely at the start line. Siely was the first mover from the front of the field moving forward two spots quickly after the green flag dropped. Just past half way Laity dropped out of the lead bunch and mechanical issues took what looked like a sure race victory from Steenholdt who had led for 17 laps and handed that to McKay. Bastian briefly got a nose in front of McKay who quickly wrested the lead back before McKay and Bastian ran wide on lap 20 in turn three and four and Siely who was right behind them ducked down low and sped to the line from turn four to take the win. Siely said he was thrilled to get his first ever Sprintcar win. “I am over the moon. We worked hard to be in contention, and we were closing towards the end there and we were in the right place at the right time which is part of the racing game anyways," he said. Standard Saloon racing saw 35 race drivers arrive to compete in three qualifiers per round for three rounds. Veteran racer Leigh Gooding won the first by less than half a second over one of the new guard, Kacey Ingram. In the second, it was a battle of family members when Jack Yeomans defeated his father Col to win. Matt Davis, Bradley Hill, Jeff Blencowe, Gooding a second time, Jacob Vuillermin, Josh Thomas and eventually Kacey Ingram - who set a new 10-lap record for the class - were all winners to qualify for the 20-lap final. Ingram, Gooding, Vuillermin, Blencowe, Daniel Stewart and Hill were the top six qualifiers and when the green flag sent the field racing Traralgon lad Vuillermin took the lead on the first lap in front of Ingram and Stewart. By lap seven, Vuillermin was still leading Dan
AFL Gippsland recently released its participation report for 2021. The report detailed the number of people involved in Gippsland football across a variety of age groups and roles. Despite a second abandoned season in succession due to lockdowns and COVID restrictions, more than 6000 people played open age football last season, while more than 5500 participated in junior football (under the age of 17). Although most leagues across Gippsland only managed to get 10 or so games in this season, crowd numbers remained healthy as supporters looked to get their footy fix once again. The opening match of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League season between Yarram and Yallourn Yallourn North drew a finals-like crowd of more than 1000 people to Yarram. On that day alone, the Demons made $8920 on the gate, $8500 on the canteen, $9000 on the bar and $5000 in post-match meals and drinks. With clubs set to recommence preseason training in coming weeks, all involved in local football will be hoping to finally get a clean run at things and a full season in 2022.

Daniel Stewart assumed the lead from lap 13 and from there despite Vuillermin’s attempts as he set a one lap record during the race, Stewart held a strong position at the front and won at the line by .442 of a second with Hill in third, followed by Shane Stewart and Ingram. Future heroes of the sport competed in the Junior Standard Saloons over three heat races with Damon Ingram from Warragul winning all three qualifiers with a new track one lap record. Ingram started the feature race with Blake Smith, Hunter Carey, Beau Stuchbery and Harry Cecil in the top five spots.

Stars of the lower grades Josh Farrell
EACH week the Gippsland Times covers the Sale-Maffra Cricket Association A Grade competition, ensuring all of the top performances are celebrated for fans to see. With the Christmas break underway, now is an opportunity to celebrate some of the impressive performances in the seconds and hard wicket competitions so far this season. In the seconds, Heyfield remains unbeaten with five wins from as many games, closely followed by Bundalaguah and Stratford who have each only dropped the one match. Somewhat surprisingly, there is yet to be a centurion in the second grade competition, with Heyfield's Kayne Amiet the closest with a knock of 97 against Sale. Only one player has taken a five wicket haul Bundalaguah's Kanishka Bannak Ralalage - who took 5-24 against Longford. The ladder for third grade sees Stratford leading on 30 points, followed by Bundalaguah (24 points), Wurruk (18), Sale (12), Maffra (12), RosedaleKilmany (12) and Collegians (12). When looking at the most impressive scores for third grade so far, it is impossible to go past Nicholas Anderson's 165 in round four against Wurruk. The College opener punished the Toads bowling attack, whacking 15 sixes and eight fours in his astonishing innings to see College to a huge total of 333 from 40 overs. This game saw some other terrific batting performances on both sides overshadowed by Anderson. Anderson's teammate Sam Morelli made 78 while Wurruk's Angus Tilley scored 61 and Lenny Van der Velden hit 57. Nathan Thomas has been a consistent performer for Stratford in third grade this season, skippering the side to the top of the ladder. Thomas started the season strongly, scoring 73 against Collegians in the first round, hitting eight fours and one six. His strongest performance however came in round seven with both bat and ball against Maffra. The captain took the ball for the middle overs and proved a challenge to get away for the Eagles' batters. Thomas took 6-22 from his eight overs in an impressive display that helped his team bowl out Maffra for 120. Thomas took the scalps of batters three through six ensuring the Eagles' players could not come back into the match. After his dominant display with the ball Thomas then delivered at the top of the order to ensure victory for his team. Chasing a low score of 120, Maffra was looking for quick wickets, but Thomas had other ideas. Thomas took the match away from the Eagles,

making 72 from 78 deliveries which included nine fours, the next highest score was 27 from Tom Boyd who supported his skipper well. Impressive team bowling performances came from both Rosedale-Kilmany and Stratford in their round five matchup. The Redbacks were bowled out for 97 after they were put in to bat by the Warriors. The wickets were spread between the RosedaleKilmany bowlers. Harry McCann took three wickets and Brandan Hill, Mick Edgar and Jye Goodwin took two each. The Stratford bowlers were in need of quick wickets and their bowlers delivered.
Jonathan Boyd and Thomas took four wickets each to instantly put the Warriors on the back foot and saw them eventually bowled out for 55. Other impressive performances this season came from the round five clash between Sale and Maffra. The Swans batted first and struggled to get going, but the highlight of the innings was Kevin Arbuthnot who made 68 at the top of the order hitting nine fours in his innings to help his team to 122 from their 40 overs. The Eagles chased down the Swans score in 29 overs thanks to Ben Lanigan who made 66 hitting five fours and one six in his innings. Fourth grade cricket sees the ladder at the
Christmas break showing Bundalaguah Yaks on top with 30 points. Maffra is equal second on 30, and then Nambrok (24), Stratford (18), Rosedale-Kilmany (18), Bundalaguah Bulls (18), Heyfield (18), Longford (12), Sale (6), Collegians (0), Boisdale-Briagolong (0) and Wurruk (0) follow. In the fourth grade competition players must retire at 50. Readers may recognise one name on the list of players to make a half century this season in former Gippsland Times journalist David Braithwaite, who scored 50 for the Bundalaguah Bulls in round three. SMCA fourth grade half centuries so far are: Bundalaguah Yaks: Anthony Day (round three and five), Jason Scicluna (round five), James Mathews (round five); Maffra: Luke Heyne (round four and five), Archy Sellings (round five); Nambrok: Greg McMillan (round four), Phillip Shields (round seven); Stratford: Clinton Gartung (round four); Rosedale-Kilmany: Guy McGrath (round four), Geoff Kinnish (round seven); Bundalaguah Bulls: David Braithwaite (round three); Heyfield: Jack Burton (round one), Ronnie Winter (round five); Longford: Jack Neesham (round seven), Jimmy Love (round seven); Sale: Jarrod Ingle (round three); Wurruk: Warren Breddels (round four). Fourth grade has seen some impressive bowling performances so far this season and it is hard to go past Heyfield's opening bowler Curtis Berryman who took 6-6 from his eight overs in round five which included five maidens. The performance was impressive as Heyfield struggled through their batting innings, only scoring 93, but the Kangaroos bowled well, dismissing the Bundalaguah Bulls for 49 to snatch the win. Another top bowling innings came in round one for both Stratford and Bundalaguah Bulls. The clash between the Bulls and the Redbacks was a low-scoring affair with the teams scoring 99 and 86 respectively. The men who did the damage with the Kookaburras were Nathan White for Stratford who took 5-19 from 7.5 overs, bookending the innings taking the openers wickets and finishing off the tail. For the Bulls the scalps were taken by Anthony Begie who took 4-10 from his 3.1 overs and Coby Bronts who took 3-6 from five overs which took the Redbacks from 2-50 to all out for 86. Bundalaguah has had a strong season in fourth grade and the Yaks Ken Lenehan had a strong performance in the final round before Christmas. Lenehan opened the bowling and took 5-12 from his eight overs which included four maidens to help defend the Yaks low score of 124 against Nambrok.
Remainder of SMCA fixture released THE Sale-Maffra Cricket Association has released its fixture for the 2022 portion of the 2021-22 season. As reported in the Gippsland Times two weeks ago, the outline of the season was settled at a committee meeting. The competition has decided that this season will once again only consist of one day matches and the two weekends of finals with a myriad of reserve days to ensure a result can be reached. The first two rounds of 2022 will consist of games scheduled for round two and round six, making up games after both were cancelled due to wet weather. After the first two rounds are complete the fixture will consist of the same games as they did in the first part of the season. Maffra arguably has the most challenging start to 2022 playing all of the other teams in the top four, starting with Bundalaguah, followed by Collegians and then Stratford. Stratford's first match has the potential to be a bogey game travelling to Rosedale, while Sale will take on Boisdale-Briagolong at home, this provides a chance to get their second half of the season off to a strong start in their push to return to finals. The round six fixture promises to be a bumper group of games. Stratford will play host to Bundalaguah and Maffra will travel to College for their match. With these four teams all in the top four, results have the potential for massive ramifications for the remainder of the season. Stratford can extend their lead at the top of the ladder although after their almost stumble in the final round before Christmas they may be vulnerable. Once the first two rounds are completed, the teams to watch will be clearer as each club has played each other once.

Maffra men hope to stay in touch with top two of CBL Josh Farrell THE Country Basketball League will get back underway this weekend with Maffra's men's team featuring in a double-header. The Eagles will take on Warragul at Cameron Sporting Complex on Saturday night and then travel to Wonthaggi on Sunday. For Maffra, Saturday night's clash against the Warragul Warriors is an important one as the Warriors currently sit on top of the ladder. The Eagles have started their title defence well only dropping one game when they lost to second place Traralgon to own a 3-1 win-loss record. Maffra has spread the scoring so far this season, through players such as Andrew Quirk (77 points), Sam Whelan (69 points) and Coby Burgiel (65 points). The Eagles are missing the skills of last year's grand final MVP Elliot Hunt, but the team will be pleased to still be in touching distance of the top two. Whatever the result may be, the Eagles will be confident in their match up with Wonthaggi on Sunday even with the dreaded doubleheader weekend. Only two teams have won both matches when playing twice in the same weekend and it is no surprise it was top-of-the-table Warragul in round one and second place Traralgon in round three. The Coasters have struggled so far this summer and the Eagles will be confident of coming away with the win. Maffra's women's team only make the journey to Wonthaggi on Sunday for their round five fixture. The Eagles' women find themselves in the middle of a gridlocked ladder. Sitting fifth on the ladder behind Wonthaggi and Moe they will be looking to pick up a win to stay in touch with the top two. Maffra would be pleased with the spread of its scoring in their final round win before the Christmas break and will hope they have unlocked its scoring for the second half of the season. The Eagles had five players hit double digits in its win over Sale, something that had been lacking in its earlier matches. For Maffra they will take on Wonthaggi, who will play a double header and will be hopeful to catch the Coasters' lacking in their second match for the weekend.
Coby Burgiel has started the CBL season strongly putting up 65 points so far.

Sonics face Korumburra on Sunday Josh Farrell THE Sale Sonics will host the Korumburra Wildcats in Country Basketball League action on Sunday. The Sonics men's team will hope to reverse their fortunes after what has been a tough start to the season, but they have been in a lot of matches just falling away in patches. This clash will be important if eighth-placed Sale (1-5 win-loss record) want to stay in touch with
the middle pack as the season heads towards its conclusion. The Sonics have seen big individual performances so far this season from Harper Fraser, who put up 21 points in their round one loss and Jake Hutchins, who scored 20 points in their round three victory over Lakes Entrance. For Sale it has been lapses in games in which they allowed teams to get away that has caused the problems thus far. In its round one loss to Maffra, it was a 22-2
second term that took the game away, while in their round three defeat to Moe it was a 29-9 third term that cost them dearly. The ingredients are all there for the Sonics but they will need to build consistency to climb up the ladder. A match-up with Korumburra will provide an opportunity to get the second half of its season off to a winning start. The Wildcats have had an up-and-down season with three wins and two losses.
For the women's side it is a tale of what could have been so far this season, close matches that if they had gone its way would see them sitting third on the ladder. Ashley Centra and Sienna Wynd have done the damage so far for the Sonics (2-4 win-loss record) and the team will be looking for the young guns to continue their form into the new year. Wynd is averaging just over 12 points in each of her appearances while Centra is at just under 17 in her matches.
