Tom Parry GIPPSLAND’S offshore wind industry has been given the approval to proceed with development by the federal government. The confirmation comes after a press conference by the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen on Friday August 5. Speaking to reporters in Sydney, Mr Bowen said that he had signed a legislative instrument, beginning a 60-day consultation process to declare the coast off Gippsland as an “offshore wind zone”. “This is an important process because I want to bring communities with us on this important journey,” Mr Bowen said. “There will be questions, there will be valid concerns; there’ll be issues that need to be worked through with communities, whether they be recreational fishers, commercials fishers, (or) environmental issues that need to be factored in. “This is exactly what will be happening over the next 60 days in Gippsland.” Mr Bowen cited offshore wind as one of

the key measures in getting Australia to 82 per cent renewable energy by 2030. “We’re way behind the game, way behind the rest of the world, in producing wind off our coastline,” Mr Bowen said. “Offshore wind is jobs-rich and energyrich. It creates a lot of energy, and a lot of jobs. “This (announcement) is good news for jobs, good news for the environment, good news for emissions reduction, good news for Australia.” In a statement, Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the government’s announcement would “allow for further detailed consideration of projects to utilise our region’s abundant wind resource.” “Respectful community consultation and engagement is now critical to ensure the region understands the potential impacts and benefits of offshore wind projects,” Mr Chester said. “It’s important that issues surrounding transmission lines through private property to link large-scale renewable projects to the national grid are handled sensitively and transparently. “These projects must benefit

Gippslanders by supporting local jobs and boosting the regional economy. “These potential projects were progressing well under the previous (Coalition) government and this latest step in the process will be well-received by most Gippslanders.” The announcement has been welcomed by Star of the South, which Mr Bowen singled-out as the “most advanced” offshore wind development in Australia. Star of the South acting chief executive Erin Coldham said it was encouraging to see the government pushing ahead with offshore wind in Gippsland. “We are pleased to see Bass Strait off Gippsland being formally considered as the first location for offshore electricity projects, and consultation starting with local communities, fishers and other marine users,” Ms Coldham said. “We know the wind conditions here are ideal, with many opportunities for investment in the region. “We are committed to continuing Gippsland’s proud history of power generation into the future and making the region the home of offshore wind in Australia. “We encourage all community

members to have their say during the required 60-day public consultation process to ensure projects are developed with local input in mind.” Star of the South is one of five offshore wind farms being developed for Gippsland’s coast, with other projects being pursued by BlueFloat Energy, Floatation Energy and Corio Generation. Mr Bowen has identified Gippsland as one of six regions with the potential for offshore wind generation, a list which also includes:  The Pacific Ocean region off the Hunter in NSW;  The Pacific Ocean region off the Illawarra in NSW;  The Southern Ocean region off Portland in Victoria;  The Bass Strait region off Northern Tasmania, and;  The Indian Ocean region off Perth/ Bunbury, WA.

Plea for trains

Following the Open Day we will be hosting a Foundation Information Evening from 6.30pm 7.30pm on Tuesday 16th August.

NATIONALS Member for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien has called for answers on when new train services will be provided on the Gippsland line beyond Traralgon. Speaking in Parliament last week, Mr O’Brien, the newly appointed Shadow Minister for Public Transport, said that ongoing rail upgrade works had been promised way back in 2017, yet there was no indication when additional services would be delivered for Sale and Bairnsdale passengers. He called on the Minister for Public Transport to outline a timeline for new services beyond Traralgon. “The Gippsland line has benefited greatly from the $530 million Gippsland Regional Rail Revival project, funded mostly by the former Federal Coalition Government thanks to my colleague Darren Chester when he was Minister for Transport Infrastructure, but it is time to see that translate into additional services,” he said. “There is no point in spending half a billion dollars to fix up the Gippsland rail line and actually not give us any additional services.” With the completion of the new Avon River Bridge at Stratford and level crossing and signalling works between Traralgon and Bairnsdale, Mr

Our current Foundation teacher, Principal and School Leaders will present information about our wonderful school.

All are very welcome to attend and experience the wonderful opportunities Stratford Primary School has to offer.

O’Brien said it was time for additional services to Sale and Bairnsdale to commence. “I am aware that funding has been provided for train stabling at Bairnsdale which will allow for VLocity trains to be stabled there. But there are no further works proposed along the line itself beyond Traralgon now,” he said. “There is no reason why we could not get additional train services, particularly to Sale. Then, once the Bairnsdale stabling is completed we would actually have more services.” Mr O’Brien said the discrepancy in train services on the Gippsland line compared to other regional cities was alarming. “We currently have 19 services to Melbourne from Traralgon a day, but just three travel on to Bairnsdale, which includes stops at Rosedale, Sale and Stratford. “That is a significant difference compared to other regional cities such as Ballarat and Bendigo, which have 20-plus. “The comparison is fair given that Wellington and East Gippsland Shires collectively have a population of over 90,000 people. It is a significant part of the state and we do deserve additional services.”

Federation drops Arts Michelle Slater

FEDERATION University is scrapping its Bachelor of Arts degree at all of its campuses as from next year due to a drop in student enrolments. Staff and students were made aware of the plan in an email on Wednesday last week. Fed Uni acting vice-chancellor Wendy Cross said the course was being discontinued in 2023 due to a steady and ongoing decline in student numbers. Prof Cross said there was only 27 students enrolled in the arts degree this year, down from 83 in 2018. She said this was the third-year of declining student numbers, with the pandemic causing a significant drop in international and domestic

enrolments affecting the uni’s financial position “Federation will continue to offer many of the courses that were part of the BA program,” Prof Cross said. “We are working with three impacted employees and the union in good faith, and we will redeploy staff where possible. “As part of our plan to be strong and sustainable, we regularly review our programs and courses to ensure they meet student and industry needs and remain viable to operate.” But the move has attracted the ire of the National Tertiary Education Union, which has accused the uni of failing to consult with students, staff or unions before making the decision. NTEU Victorian assistant secretary Sarah Roberts described it as a “hammer blow” for

regional students who wanted to study arts. Ms Roberts said the NTEU would be lodging a dispute with the university and calling on it to reverse the decision. She said the previous federal Coalition government’s Jobs Ready package had driven up the cost of arts degrees by encouraging students to enrol in more vocational courses. “This is a kick in the guts for students in Churchill. An arts degree must be a bedrock offering for all universities. It gives you critical thinking skills with the ability to engage in debate,” Ms Roberts said. “You can’t be employed if you don’t have these skills and if you can’t evaluate information or make the calls on big decisions. This is what you learn in an arts degree.”

Federation University has scrapped its Bachelor of Arts degree.

UPGRADES on Bengworden Road between Bairnsdale and Cobains have now been completed. In a joint statement, the federal and state government said that critical work now finished would help reduce road trauma from run-off-road and head on crashes, by delivering new flexible safety barriers, 33 kilometres of road shoulder sealing and improved line marking. Upgrades to four key intersections along Bengworden Rd have also been delivered as part of the federal government’s Road Safety Program. The intersection at Stratford-Bengworden Rd has been widened to make turning safer, as well as the installation of rumble strips, improved signage and new line marking. A dedicated right-hand turn lane has been installed onto Hagans Rd from Bengworden Road, alongside new flexible safety barriers and better line marking to improve sight lines for drivers. The intersections of Bengworden Rd with Somerton Park Rd and Princes Highway have both been upgraded, with the project delivering better additional signage and rumble strips. This section of road has a history of crashes that cause serious injury. These works target the most dangerous intersections to improve road safety and reduce the risk of road trauma in the community. Crews will be on the road to complete final surface sealing works and lighting upgrades in the coming months. Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, said “we know how important these roads are for Gippsland locals, these upgrades will improve safety on these key roads - making everyday journeys safer”. “Major construction for the intersection upgrades are now complete, with installation of vital lifesaving road safety treatments to have a real impact for commuters.” Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing welcomed the news. “Thank you to local road users and the community for their patience as the last of these works were completed - these improvements will make travel safer for everyone,” she said.

Making a splash in Loch Sport Tom Parry

A SURPRISE visitor greeted Loch Sport last week, with a Bryde’s whale making an appearance in the shallow waters of Ninety Mile Beach. The mammal was spotted by eagle-eyed resident Rachel Hunter at approximately 7.45am on Wednesday, August 3. Ms Hunter was fishing at Stockyard Hill Surf Beach when she made the sighting, and has since shared her photos of the whale with the Gippsland Times. Based on photos captured by Ms Hunter, research officer at the Dolphin Research Institute, David Donnelly, has identified the mammal as a Bryde’s (pronounced ‘Broodis’) whale. “The first thing we can tell from the photo is that it’s a rorqual … that automatically eliminates a whole lot of species,” Mr Donnelly said. Rorquals are the largest members of the whale family, a group which also includes the Blue Whale. “The photos show us a tall, erect dorsal fin, combined with a long, sleek animal in a mid-shore environment,” he added. “Based on observations previously in the region, both dedicated and opportunistic, we know that Bryde’s whales behave like that from time to time, and this animal looks like it could be a Bryde’s whale. “The other potential whale it could be is a Sei whale, but their behaviour and their ecology tells us they’re more likely to be detected offshore, not in the inshore waters.

A whale was spotted in Loch Sport last week.

“So by process of elimination, we’ve come down to a probability, not a certainty, and we think it’s a Bryde’s whale.”

Mr Donnelly noted that Bryde’s whales are an infrequent sight in the Bass Strait, with only five previous sightings in the Gippsland region.

“If you went to the tropics today and had a look around, you might find Bryde’s whales and Omura’s whales - they’re very similar - and you might find them in real numbers; but when you come down to the south, those sightings become less frequent and certainly less common,” he said. “If I saw Bryde’s whales in Eden (New South Wales) in September, I’d go, ‘oh yeah, that’s a Bryde’s whale, I know they hang-out here from time to time’. “But if I saw the same thing in Gippsland, I’d go ‘oh wow, a Bryde’s whale!’ “It’s definitely less frequent in our region … but it’s not unheard of.” He also stressed the importance of registering whale sightings through the Dolphin Research Institute’s official website. “We can’t be everywhere all the time, so we rely on general members of the public - which we refer to as citizen scientists - to report what they see so that we can gather that information, put in into a database, and give it context,” Mr Donnelly said. “So when it comes time to make decisions about … tourism, commercial fisheries, oil and gas exploration, all those sorts of things, we will have a database of information which helps us to make those decisions.” Although another visit from the Bryde’s whale is unlikely, Mr Donnelly did promise that sightings of other whale species at Ninety Mile Beach were a possibility: “You can expect a few more in the coming months.” Any and all whale sightings can be made to www. dolphinresearch.org.au/research/report-sightings/

STARTUP Gippsland’s Business Igniter program will conclude tomorrow evening with a Pitch Showcase in Traralgon. The event will see 14 startup businesses from across Gippsland present their ideas to investors and the community at large. Program manager Tasha Wright said the event is a tribute to the founders’ hard work throughout the program, and a celebration of the progress they have made. “The Pitch Showcase allows the participants to demonstrate their product or service to potential strategic partners, investors and co-founders … as well as providing real life experience in ‘pitching’ to these audiences, which if not for participating in the program, they otherwise may not have gained access to,” Ms Wright said. “Most importantly, it offers networking opportunities for all who attend, and where the founders can make meaningful business relationships that can potentially help their business to scale.” The Business Igniter program is a new initiative from Startup Gippsland, launched earlier this year. Over the past four months, the program has conducted weekend sessions across the six local government areas of Gippsland: Wellington Shire, Latrobe City, Bass Coast Shire, Baw Baw Shire, East Gippsland Shire and South Gippsland Shire. Participants in the program represent a wide range of industries, including health, manufacturing, IT, education and agriculture. Ideas they have put forward include a sustainable alternative to traditional toothpaste, a platform for farmers and landowners to offset their carbon footprint, and a shopping service connecting people with access issues to local retailers, among others. Joining the Business Igniter program has already paid dividends for one participant, Matt Robinson, who won a Virtual Pitch Night hosted by Silicon Beach, a Sydney-based startup facilitator. “It was a stellar effort by Matt Robinson of

Council enters lease with H2X Zoe Askew

WELLINGTON Shire councillors met last Tuesday, August 2. Outstanding petitions from the July 19 meeting calling for improved traffic and pedestrian safety in Maffra and implementation of a traffic management plan for Nightingale Street, Yarram, remain under review by Council Officers who are preparing a response. RAAF Base East Sale Wing Commander Neil Foate of the Air Base Executive Office presented Wellington Shire Mayor Ian Bye with a trophy commemorating and thanking Wellington Shire Council for its advocacy and support of the RAAF base centenary. Mr Bye acknowledged the presentation, which will be displayed in the mayor’s office and reiterated the importance East Sale RAAF Base has within the community. “People mightn’t realise what RAAF base actually does for the area,” Cr Bye said. “There are over 1100 people that are base personnel and students; it is a huge amount of people, plus the contractors who service all the equipment, buildings and so forth out there, so it is a massive employer of the community. “(RAAF Base East Sale) is very important to the welfare of the Australian people and an important piece of the Wellington Shire and an important part of our community.” There was no outstanding questions on notice nor a delegates report. In the first real action of the meeting, council proposed the adoption of revised governance rules. Council moved to approve and adopt the revised Governance Rules, which incorporate new Local Government Act 2020 provisions relating to virtual meetings. Coastal Ward councillor Gary Stephens moved the motion, seconded by Coastal Ward colleague councillor Gayle Maher. “When the pandemic first started, the state government brought in temporary measure so that council could meet virtually,” Councillor Stephens said. “The temporary measures are about to finish on September 1, and the government brought in an amendment so that we (Council) can alter our governance rules, allowing us to provide for ongoing virtual meetings.” The proposal for council to enter into a new land and building lease with H2X Global Limited (H2X) on Mortimer Drive, Fulham, West Sale Airport was carried, moved by Central Ward councillor Scott Rossetti, seconded by Northern Ward councillor Carmel Ripper. “This is quite exciting,” Cr Rossetti said. “H2X are a company that operates worldwide, producing an increasing production of hydrogen vehicles because transportation is one of the largest causes of greenhouse gases globally. “Hydrogen is one way that H2X and others are looking at to reduce our carbon footprint, to the point that they are expecting hydrogen production to increase about 10 times by 2050.

At its most recent council meeting, Wellington Shire agreed to enter into a land and building lease with H2X Global Limited on Mortimer Drive, Fulham. Photo: Tom Parry “What’s exciting here is H2X have actually wanted to set up within our region because of many things, but particularly our support of renewables. “We are very excited to have them coming into West Sale; they are going to bring with them not only changes to the way we support our transport and logistics, but they are going to bring in a lot of work, jobs, thousands of fulltime equivalent roles. The mayor then called the gallery for comment. John Lees from Boisdale took the podium, expressing concerns over the council’s treatment of volunteers. “I volunteer out at Boisdale and we have had a problem out there with a contractor who put in a sewerage system,” Mr Lees said. “We have tried to get him to come back and fix the fences he damaged and other jobs he had to do out there. We went through the council, the council didn’t get in touch with us about what he was doing, what he was going to do. “He supposedly fixed everything he was meant to but he hasn’t. “It’s just the treatment that the council has given to us as volunteers, without giving us the

opportunity to be involved. “I think the shire needs to have a look at the way some of their staff treat volunteers.” Mr Bye acknowledged and thanked Mr Lees for his address and invited him to speak with Wellington Shire Built and Natural Environment general manager Chris Hastie following the council meeting to discuss issue further.

The next council meeting will be held in the Wellington Room at Port of Sale on Tuesday, August 16 from at 6pm. The public is welcome to attend the gallery, or alternatively, watch and participate in council meetings virtually.

This ensures when you’re in bed, you’re actually sleeping - rather than tossing and turning. Second to that, as lions are typically high performing perfectionists, who can encounter stress, start your day with meditation: research shows a single session of mindfulness meditation can lower stress and anxiety.

OLIVIA Arezzolo (pictured), who grew up in Sale, is Australia’s leading sleep expert, and is writing a regular column for the Gippsland Times.

Chronotypes explained - and how knowing yours helps you sleep better

Top tips for bears:

POST-PANDEMIC, there has been a 59 per cent increase in Aussies reporting poor sleep. Google searches for ‘why I can’t sleep’ has increased by 200 per cent. Sixty per cent of us have insomnia symptoms - being unable to initiate sleep or waking unrefreshed for example - three times a week. Needless to say, sleep tips are needed now more than ever. However, rather than generic tips, wouldn’t it be ideal if the advice was catered to you - reflecting your genetics? As in, the strategies take into account your biological make up, and thus, are more likely to be effective for you? Naturally. Well, well sleep deprived readers, that’s exactly what I am here to deliver - enjoy.

First though - we need to identify your sleep Chronotype - your circadian rhythm preference. HOW can you know yours? Three questions:

1. How alert am I upon waking? A - alert B - fatigued C - absolutely exhausted

2. When is my peak productivity? A - from the moment I wake until lunch B - between 10am and 2pm C - in the evening

BEARS are characteristically known to have a 3pm slump - and will probably seek out a coffee to get their second wind. One word: don’t. Even six hours before bed, a clinical trial noted caffeine can reduce sleep length by more than one hour, and double the time taken to fall asleep. Instead, do some exercise - research shows just 15 minutes of stair climbing was able to enhance energy more so than an espresso.

Top tips for wolves:

3. If I had a choice, when would I get up?

QUITE simply, each chronotype has typical challenges, and thus taking this into consideration means some advice will be more relevant for you than others.

A - around 6am B - 7am or 8am C - after 8am The more As you have, the more you are the lion chronotype. The more Bs, the more you are a bear. The more Cs, the more you are a wolf.

Top tips for lions: IF you feel energised after six or seven hours of sleep, feel free to get up - of all chronotypes, you have the shortest sleep need: sleepiness promoting hormone adenosine dissipates faster in your body compared to wolves and bears; which means you feel more rested on less sleep. Second to that, many lions have a mutation in

So - how does this translate into helping you sleep better?

AVOID sleeping-in: research shows 68 per cent of wolves sleep in for two hours or more when given the opportunity; compared to lions. This misaligns the circadian rhythm: melatonin onset is later that evening, making it harder for you to fall asleep at a normal time. This may not be a problem over the weekend per se, however, it is come Monday morning you’ll not only have probably stayed up late and have woken with insufficient sleep; you’re also more likely to be fatigued upon waking as your melatonin levels will be higher than normal. To catch up on sleep debt, take a 30 minute nap instead - just make sure it’s at least six hours before bedtime.

Citizen scientists help the count RESULTS from the 2022 Gippsland Lakes Great Pelican Count are in. Almost 100 participants took part in this year’s annual BirdLife Australia Gippsland Lakes Great Pelican Count, recording 1135 pelicans in 30 minutes on a cloudless Sunday in April. Citizen scientists gathered at 77 locations to raise their binoculars for the environment, recording 476 more pelicans than in 2021 and 500 more than the previous count held in 2019. Of the 1135 pelicans recorded, 75 per cent were roosting, 10 per cent were moving, and 15 per cent were noted as foraging or scavenging for food. BirdLife Australia project coordinator Deb Sullivan said the organisation was delighted with this year’s participation and results. “Recent wet weather has meant that there have been more fish to be had and have provided great feeding and breeding conditions for the pelicans,” Ms Sullivan said. “It’s an important 30 minutes of the year as the results provide a ‘pelican snapshot’ and contributes to the larg ger,, ong going g pelican monitoring and protection progr gram r across the Lakes.

“The event is definitely not stand alone; the wonderful citizen scientists help build the bigger picture of pelican population dynamics that ultimately leads to understanding better ways to manage and protect them. “It’s also about simply getting out, being together and enjoying the Lakes and its incredible landscapes and wildlife. “There were people of all ages counting on the day including staff from East Gippsland and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authorities. Also, for the first time this year, residents of Mallacoota participated in the count and I thank everyone for their enthusiasm.” Ms Sullivan and her team place bands on the pelicans across the year to track their movements and activity, with 37 young birds tagged so far this year. The team can track the birds in real-time with satellite trackers, and is planning to deploy 10 more tracking devices onto adults and juveniles in the near future. “This year, two red and white coloured leg banded pelicans were recorded during the count,” Ms Sullivan said. “This is the colour unique to the Gippsland

Pelicans at Lakes Entrance. Lakes, with green and white bands being the colour that is unique to Western Port and Port Phillip bays. “It’s not only interesting to know where pelicans go, but it helps us understand their behaviour better, the habitats they like to use, and improves management practices for the future of the species.” Bands and trackers have recorded birds from the Lakes in Batemans Bay and Eden. It is more common for the birds to stay y in their territorial areas and home ranges, proving that pelicans, like humans, love our

lakes. The count may be over, but you can be a pelican citizen scientist all year round. Simply snap a picture on your phone and record any pelicans with coloured leg bands you see, noting the date, time, and location of your sighting and note if the pelicans were alone or how many other birds they were with. Submit any sightings to greatpelicancount@ birdlife.org.au or on the ‘Love Our Pelicans’ Facebook page set up to follow project research, share stories, photos, and report sightings of banded pelicans. Search for ‘Love our Pelicans’ on Facebook to join. The Gippsland Lakes Great Pelican Count is an initiative of BirdLife Australia, supported by East and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authorities. The program is funded as part of the state government’s $248 million investment over four years (2020-2024) to improve the health of waterways and catchments across regional Victoria, and made possible through $7.5 million to support the Gippsland Lakes Coordinating Committee and deliver ongrr ground works and community engagement.

Spotlight on woman’s tragic life Zoe Askew KAREN Collins has shared the story of her great-grandmother, Minnie Eason, after a decade-long investigation, that uncovered the historical brutality of the treatment of women and women’s health. She has finally given Minnie a voice after many years of silence, cruelty, and violence. Karen first learnt of Minnie Eason’s profoundly sad and disturbing mental health records in 2011, setting her on a journey to uncover the truth, and to emphasise the wrongs of the past, giving acknowledgement to her greatgrandmother’s untold suffering and powerlessness after her husband discarded her into the chilling world of mental institutions. Minnie was eventually laid to rest in an unmarked grave at Rosedale Cemetery after 11 long years of institutionalised incarceration. A life seemingly erased from existence. In July 2022, after 11 years on a dark and challenging journey, Karen published her book, Into the Darkness: The Story of Minnie and William Eason, giving Minnie Eason the voice she so deserves. “I felt a responsibility to reveal the intolerable suffering she must have endured as a result of the death of her child and an unhappy marriage,” Karen said. “And significantly being an involuntary patient of three asylums for 11 years, in degrading, overcrowded conditions, vulnerable to violence and cruelty.” Born on June 30, 1882, Minnie Eleanor Watts was the 13th of 14 children to parents Eliza and William Alfred Watts, growing up on a farm, ‘Oakvale’, roughly four kilometres south of Rosedale. The Watts children attended Rosedale State School, where Minnie received an academic award for third prize in her Grade 3 examination results. While Minnie excelled in school and showcased physical, musical and performative talents, her childhood was not easy. The youngest of the Watts children, Arthur Henry Watts, was born with down syndrome three years after Minnie on October 12, 1885. Arthur grew up on the farm with limited vocabulary and was permanently admitted to Kew Asylum in 1910, at the age of 25. Four years after Arthur was born, when Minnie was just five-years-old, her father William Watts died in Sale on January 27, 1888, aged 57, from stones in the bladder, an ailment he suffered for many years. Just two years after her father’s death, the fourth eldest Watts child, Ellen Watts, died suddenly on January 16, 1890, from severe hepatitis. In August 1899, when Minnie was 17, 22-year-old William Lewis

Decendents of Minnie Eason; her great-great-grandson Dan Collins, greatgrandson Stuart Eason, great-granddaughter Karen Collins, granddaughter Margaret Porter, and great-granddaughter Jill Eason at the unveiling of her headstone in Rosedale on July 2. Eason arrived in Rosedale and was appointed the headteacher of the small rural schools, Holey Plain and Coolungoolum. William Eason was active in the community and competed in Rosedale’s local football, cricket, golf, and Easter athletic competitions, captaining the Rosedale football team in 1901. During this time, he began courting Minnie Watts, marrying the young woman on December 23, 1902. The wedding of William and Minnie Eason was awarded an entire column on page three of the Rosedale Courier, providing a comprehensive account of the event. On November 23 1905, Minnie and William welcomed their first child, Karen’s grandfather, Arnold Lewis Eason. Three years later, on February 22, 1908, William and Minnie’s second child, Elma Moira, was born in Rosedale, and on April 10, 1911, their third child, Norma Alvina, was born at a private hospital in

Traralgon. Life for Minnie Eason took a terrible turn following a horrific accident on October 10, 1912, in which her 17-month-old child, Norma Alvina Eason, burnt to death in their Welshpool schoolhouse. Karen describes the death of Norma Eason as a defining moment for Minnie, causing the unravelling of the Eason family and marking the beginning of a grieving mother’s torment. At the time of Norma Eason’s death, there was a great divide between the Catholic and Protestant Churches. During her investigations into the profoundly sad events that shaped the life of Minnie Eason, Karen uncovered an added layer of guilt and distress for the bereaved mother following the death of her baby. “Arnold (Eason, Minnie’s first child) told my father that a priest cruelly blamed Minnie for Norma’s death because she had married a Protestant,” Karen wrote.

“It is understandable and possible that the burden of Minnie feeling responsible for the death of Norma, not only through her temporary absence of supervision at the time but also for disobeying the Catholic Church, would have seriously affected her mental health. “Minnie could well have believed that she was paying for her sins, firstly by her eldest child being seriously burned yet saved in a prior accident, and secondly by her toddler being horrifically burnt to death.” One month after the death of her daughter Norma, Minnie’s mother, Eliza Watts, unexpectedly died of a brain hemorrhage in Rosedale, aged 73. According to the Victorian Mental Hospitals’ Record, Minnie Eason had her first ‘attack’ at 31-years-old, sometime between eight and 20 months after Norma’s death, but symptoms and the duration were not recorded. After Norma’s death, confirmation of Minnie’s mental health struggles was revealed in her younger brother, Arthur Watts’ mental health records from the Kew Hospital for the Insane. The Eason family moved to Koo Wee Rup in 1914 when William was appointed headteacher of the local. Minnie and William’s youngest child, Gwenda Eason, was born at a hospital in Warragul on March 3, 1916. After the birth of Gwen, William continued to volunteer for leadership positions on public committees, leaving his wife Minnie to cope alone with the children and household chores while still grieving over the loss of little Norma. Minnie Eason’s Patient Clinical Notes, dated August 17, 1917, reveals that she suffered a second ‘attack’ from April to August 1917. While the symptoms of this ‘attack’ are unknown, the patient records state that Minnie was diagnosed with Dementia Praecox, a term previously used to describe a psychotic disorder in which patients experienced hallucinations, bizarre delusions, passivity symptoms, insomnia and thought disorder. In the months leading up to this ‘attack’, William volunteered for three more committees in the community, played tennis and was First Master of the Lang Lang Masonic Lodge. Karen Collins continues to reveal the unrelenting challenges in Minnie Eason’s life, writing, ‘during the four months, Minnie suffered from this second ‘attack’, her brother, 31-yearold Arthur, died of pneumonia on July 22, 1917, in the Kew Hospital for the Insane. William Eason made a private request to have his 35-year-old wife, Minnie, committed to the Royal Park Receiving House in Parkville, based on his statement that Minnie kept accusing him of infidelity and that she was violent. Doctors Sewell and Spiers

supported William’s request, stating in their committal certificates, ‘the patient is suspicious and erratic in her behaviour’, ‘refuses reasonable attempts at treatment’, ‘says her husband goes as he pleases’ and ‘suspects her husband has intercourse with other women’. Karen’s research established that William had long absences from home with voluntary work, club memberships and sports, giving credibility to Minnie’s statement she believed her husband went wherever he pleased. Minnie Eason was committed to the Royal Park Receiving House in Parkville at 2pm on August 17, 1917. On October 19, 1917, two months after being detained at the Receiving House, Minnie was declared insane by the Medical Superintendent, Dr Clarence Godfrey, and was transferred to the nearby Royal Park Hospital for the Insane. “During Minnie’s 11 years of incarceration, her life had tragically become one of abandonment, insignificance, isolation and unimaginable suffering until the very end,” Karen Collins wrote. “Without a friend or relative in her final hour, it was as though she never existed.” “This disregard for her life and dignity continued with the mandatory autopsy on her body the day after she died, followed by her burial in an unmarked grave at the Rosedale Cemetery on January 8, 1929.” William Eason died in 1936 while headteacher of Koo Wee Rup State School. After his death, the Koo Wee Rup community erected two stone pillar memorial gates to mark the entrance of the local school, now the Koo Wee Rup Secondary College. William Eason had devoted an extraordinary amount of time to public committees, many in leadership roles, and assisted many of his students in earning scholarships. Into The Darkness: The Story of Minnie and William Eason is a recount of Australia’s disturbing history, highlighting the horrendous treatment of women, the wild misconception of mental health and illness, and the fundamental lack of power women possessed. On Saturday, July 2, Karen Collins, accompanied by descendants of Minnie Eason and friends who supported Karen throughout her journey, acknowledged the life of Minnie Elanor Eason by unveiling a headstone on her unmarked grave at the Rosedale Cemetery “to honour the memory of a life not forgotten”. “Minnie is now coming out of the darkness and into the light as she begins her journey of significance after so long being insignificant,” Karen said. Karen published Into The Darkness online in late July, and it is available to download for free at https://www.intothedarkness.com. au/

KCC’s ‘Cosi’ promises madcap Zoe Askew AND cue Cosi ... Next weekend, Saturday August 20, KCC Theatre will make its long-awaited performance debut at Stratford Courthouse Theatre, performing a production of Louis Nowra’s darkly funny play, Cosi. Hilarious, heartfelt, chaotic, provoking, mayhem; Cosi promises a performance you won’t want to miss. KCC Theatre was founded in 2017 by former Sale College English and theatre teacher Richard Kemp and Sale College integration aide Connor Hodges. Initially, KCC Theatre worked solely in association with Sale College, creating productions with the school’s most talented performing arts students. In 2022, following Mr Kemp’s transition from Sale College to Gippsland Grammar, KCC Theatre established its independence, an exciting progression and long-term goal for the company. “Now that I no longer work at Sale College, it provided us with an opportunity to ramp up and do something individual, as we have always planned to,” Mr Kemp said. “So we sat down and spoke about what are the two shows we want to do over the next 12 to 18 months, and we settled on Cosi as a comedy.” Kemp and Hodges are among the nine performers within the 14-man company, who are all champing at the bit for opening night for their very first independent show. And gee whiz, have they got a show for you. Cosi is set in a Melbourne psychiatric facility in 1971, during the time when the country was protesting against the war in Vietnam. Cosi is based closely on Nowra’s own life experiences, and features a character called Lewis, a highly-fictionalised version of himself, played by Hodges. “Lewis is fresh out of university and has got a

es, Kaleb Moore, Kathleen Macreadie, Richard Kemp, Abby Kemp and Connor Hodge ew five members of the local theatre company KCC Theatre. Photo: Zoe Aske paid job to produce a show with the patients at this psychiatric facility,” Mr Kemp said. “He is very nervous, has no idea what to do, the entire situation freaks him out, the Vietnam War is raging, and his friends are going to protest marches in which he is supposed to be involved. Meanwhile, Lewis is stuck with all these mental people inside this institution, trying to rehearse a play.” Cosi is a multifaceted tragicomedy with a refreshing madcap poignancy taking the audience on a rollercoaster ride up until the final end. “The patients will put on a performance, a performance of the opera, Cosi Fan Tutte, but

that Lewis doesn’t know yet,” Mr Kemp said. Just like the prospects of psych patients performing a Mozart opera, Cosi will prove a night to remember. Doors open at 7pm with locally y crafted beer, cider and wines serrved at the Wits End bar. Tickets are on sale for $25 at h http://www. stratfordcourthouse.com.au/#/coosi-jaug20/ j g For more information about KCC Theatre and their upcoming shows, head to their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ salecollegeschoolproduction

Cosi will be perfo formed at Stratford Courthouse on Saturday, August 20.

Ad-libbing adds to this screwball comedy classic SALE Film Society has announced further changes to its list of upcoming screenings. August’s feature will now be the 1940 screwball comedy His Girl Friday, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Helmed by acclaimed director Howard Hawks, the film sees newspaper editor Walter Burns (Grant) desperately trying to win back his ex-wife, journalist Hildy Johnson (Russell), mere hours before she’s due to marry another man. Society secretary Gerard Callinan said the film was a classic comedy from a golden age of Hollywood. “Probably not as well-known as some of the other screwball comedies like Bringing Up Baby or even The Philadelphia Story but an absolute classic, and a hoot too!” he said. “Great script, super quick and Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are on-fire in some scenes. “Ridiculous of course, but fun!” Mr Callinan added that the dialogue, much of which is purportedly ad-libbed, was another element that stands-out. His Girl Friday is the replacement title for Justin Kurzel’s Nitram, which was previously scheduled to screen in August.

Kurzel’s film has been indefinitely postponed owing to a lack of availability. Another change is the confirmation of the picture for November’s screening: Petite Maman. This genteel drama from France follows a young girl named Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) and her encounter with Marion (Gabrielle Sanz), with whom she shares a maternal connection. Regarding this choice, Mr Callinan said: “It is highly regarded, has received some great reviews and I’m not sure if we have had a French movie this year, so why not?” This announcement comes following months of mystery surrounding November’s title, which had previously been left blank for “any great movie that comes out in early 2022”. Mr Callinan admitted that deciding upon a film for November was a challenge, with more films only being available on streaming services. “But that allowed us to show a few older titles, which has been a blessing too.” His Girl Friday can be seen at The Wedge on Tuesday, August 16 from 7.30pm.

High-speed Hollywood thrills

TP: Well Stefan, for the first time since we began doing these reviews together, we’re covering a movie which is not a sequel, nor a superhero blockbuster, although I understand it is based on an existing work of fiction SB: Yes, you’re right, it is based on a Japanese novel called Maria Beetle, which was translated into English as Bullet Train. There are some Japanese actors in the cast; but because this is a Hollywood production, the character have been Westernised by casting the likes of Brad Pitt in the major roles. TP: Pitt plays the main character, an assassin going by the codename Ladybug, who is tasked with retrieving a briefcase from a high-speed intercity train. Only trouble is, there are other assassins on the train who want the briefcase just as much, and are willing to fight for it. SB: The action scenes were my favourite parts of Bullet Train, particularly those in the third act. The film is a bit too long, but overall I enjoyed it. What did you think? TP: I feel much the same way, actually. The movie was definitely too long, and at times it just ground to a halt. At the beginning of the movie, it was fast-paced and energetic; there were some neat cutaways, kinetic action sequences and lots of bright colours; and then once you get about two-thirds of the way through the film, it just

slows down. Even so, the action was absolutely incredible throughout, and the reason why is David Leitch. He previously directed Hobbs & Shaw, Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde, which

good. I loved Brad Pitt’s character, he was really funny; Aaron Taylor-Johnson had a thick British accent which I’m not used to hearing. TP: This is one of the very few movies where he uses his natural British accent. Whereas his ‘twin’, played by Brian Tyree Henry, who is American, has a really convincing cockney accent. On another note, I loved the cameos - we shan’t spoil them, but every single one of them brought a smile to my face. SB: To wrap up, I wish the movie throughout had the same level of energy that it had at the beginning and the very end. I’m not saying it’s not a good movie, because it is! I would say go see this, because it’s a lot of fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. TP: It’s colourful, thrilling, and surprisingly hilarious too - I laughed harder at this movie more than I have any other released so far this year. SB: So add to that good comic timing, really funny action scenes and of course, Brad Pitt’s character, and you’ve got an enjoyable popcorn movie. TP: Agreed. We must stress though, the film is hyper-violent - there’s a lot of blood-letting that occurs, so it’s not for the feint of heart.

were all praised for their high-octane action sequences; he also co-directed John Wick, which some people say revolutionised the action genre - or at least, breathed new life into Hollywood action movies. He’s really brought that same energy to the fight scenes in Bullet Train, and I’m so in awe of Leitch’s work that I want him to direct every single action movie that comes out. SB: I do agree, but the thing that I didn’t like so much was this: it wasn’t until the third-act where they actually took advantage of the film’s setting. This movie’s called Bullet Train, so I expected lots of guns and fast-moving trains, but they could have set most of the film in a massive bus, a cruise ship, or a regular train, and it probably would’ve made just as much sense. So that’s why I enjoyed the last action scenes, where the fast-moving bullet train was used to great effect. TP: It’s interesting you mention buses, because Bullet Train includes none other than Sandra Bullock in the cast, who was in Speed, which featured a bus that couldn’t slow down and a runaway train. SB: Yeah, that was a clever bit of casting. The music is great too - I loved the Japanese covers of songs like Bonnie Tyler’s ‘I Need a Hero’ or ‘Staying Alive’ by the Bee Gees. Those were really fun. TP: They are, absolutely. And that carries over from Deadpool 2 as well, where Leitch also utilised a soundtrack of greatest hits to accompany the story. SB: As for the multinational cast, they were all

AFTER 25 years on the world stage and over 8000 performances in over 60 countries, The Australian Bee Gees Show returns to Australia for their 25th Anniversary tour. The tribute act’s new show will be presented in two parts and feature all of the hits by the Brothers Gibb, in a nostalgic trip down memory lane in a multimedia concert event. As part of the tour, the group will perform at The Wedge on Thursday, August 18 and the West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul on Saturday, August 20. Michael Clift performs the role of Barry Gibb, the only surviving member of the Bee Gees. In 1996, Mr Clift formed The Australian Bee Gees Show and, 20 years on, has toured all over the world, including a Las Vegas residency. Mr Clift spoke to the Gippsland Times to spill the beans on what to expect from the shows. THANKS for speaking to us Michael Clift. During this tour, will it be the same set every night or will it change between shows? WE do the same show for a whole tour, more or less. We change things up a little each year, so when people come back and see the show it’s a little different than last time. Of course, all of the big hits are always a staple. IS this the entire Bee Gees era or is it focusing on a particular time period? IT really is the whole career catalogue that we draw on to put the show together. The 60s and 70s have most of the big hits, but there are some fantastic songs that were written for and recorded by other artists, and some great songs by the Bee Gees in the 80s and 90s. We feel that you can’t tell the whole story by just focusing on the 60s and 70s. HOW do you pull off Barry Gibb in look, voice and performance? IT really is a challenge - it makes it difficult in casting our subs and touring guys to be of the standard we need for a Las Vegas show, and have the look and skillset to do any of the Brothers Gibb characters. We portray Barry, Robin and Maurice around the 1997 One Night Only tour look. We do some songs from the 1997 album Still Waters, so a retro look really didn’t work for this version of the show. The hardest part is pulling all the elements of the character together - the look, sound and the instrument. WHAT is your favourite Bee Gees song, and album? MY favourite is ‘To Love Somebody’, such a wonderful song with a powerful vocal. It is one of the crowd favourites too. My favourite album

is Main Course, I think that album was where Bee Gees truly made the leap from being a teenage Beatlesque group to evolve into the 70s powerhouse they would become. It’s also where Barry discovered his amazing falsetto while recording ‘Nights on Broadway’. HAVE you had any interaction with the Bee Gees themselves over the years? What do they think of you? ONLY through their management. They have told us they are aware of our show and are happy with the respect and attention to detail that we approach the show. That is a very gratifying thing for us. A BEE Gees biopic is in the works directed by Kenneth Branaugh, probably inspired by Bohemian Rhapsody, Motley Crue’s The Dirt, Rocketman, Elvis etc. What do you think about that idea and what would you like to see? I HEARD that Bradley Cooper was possibly talking about the role of Barry in the film. I’m not sure if that is rumour or fact, but having to cast the roles of the Brothers Gibb in our show, I know it is a challenge. I hope it is somewhere in between Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. I liked the fact that Rocketman really told the ups and downs of Elton John’s life and career, whereas Bohemian Rhapsody glossed over them (for Queen). METALLICA and Kate Bush re-entered the mainstream charts after their songs were used on Stranger Things recently. What underappreciated Bee Gees song would you like to see revived by being featured on the show? I JUST started watching it two weeks ago. I love the fact that not only do they have great attention to detail with 80s life and culture, but that the soundtrack is performed on 80s synthesisers, just as if the show was produced in the 80s. I’m guessing Season Five will be set in 1987, so I would have to say that ‘You Win Again’ would be perfect! Let’s see if they are thinking the same thing! HAVE you performed in Sale or Gippsland before? What do you think of The Wedge as a venue? MANY times. We enjoy ourselves and The Wedge is a great venue. We really do have some wonderful regional theatres in Australia, it’s so important and I hope future governments will continue to make sure there is always funding for them. THANKS for talking to us, I hope our readers enjoy the show! WE would love to see you all there. It is a fun show, we are excited to be coming back to Australia after a few years away.

Sheep health concerns ANIMAL experts have shed concern for sheep health this season, as rising rates of sickness in ewes feeding twin lambs, problems with internal parasites, and foot issues persist. Senior Veterinary Officer Dr Jeff Cave is among the experts who have raised concerns for sheep health this season following recurring issues brought to his attention by various producers. “This year I have been hearing of difficult lambings due to large single lambs, sickness in ewes feeding twin lambs, problems with internal parasites, and foot issues,” Dr Cave said. “I consider these issues are related to this year’s seasonal conditions. “Think back to late summer, usually a time of hot, dry conditions and a feed deficit, when we

had abnormally high rainfall and pasture growth resembling the height of spring. “This would have led to pregnant ewes being in a higher average body condition score than normal, leading to larger than normal single lambs and lambing difficulties. “It would have also led to higher-than-normal worm burdens and the breakdown of summer worm control programs. “Furthermore, these conditions would have favoured the expression and spread of benign and virulent footrot in those flocks that have it. “Moving forward a few months to recent times, worm burdens will have continued to build, and foot issues will have continued to express themselves. “For most flock owners, a drenching program

guided by faecal egg counts, and foot bathing for flocks that require it, will be the best way of managing this situation,” he continued. “Overall, in many cases, there has been a lowering plane of nutrition, meaning that ewes in high body condition feeding twin lambs were in an energy deficit and had to use their fat reserves to compensate, the result being pregnancy toxaemia or ‘twin lamb’ disease. “This is best improved by using an energy-rich supplement such as grain or pellets.” Dr Cave said a complex management plant is needed to control the issues and advises producers to contact their local veterinarian, Agriculture Victoria veterinary, or animal health officer for further direction.

Educational project coming to East Gippsland

LOCAL horse owners are being encouraged to apply for a new course, scheduled to begin this month. The Healthy Equine Land Practices (H.E.L.P.) project aims to educate East Gippslanders about everything horse-related, from pasture management to property design and animal health issues. Southern Farming Systems’ Nat Jenkins is one of the organisers of the project, and a horse enthusiast. Ms Jenkins says she is often queried by horse owners about pastures and horse management. “This course is fantastic, because you get a free soil test and a free interpretation of it, an aerial picture of your property, a property design and access to vets,” she said. “We’ll also cover managing pastures and animal health issues like worms and condition scoring, and with the property design we’ll look at managing a fat pony’s nutritional needs as opposed to those of an eventing horse.” The H.E.L.P. project will run in East Gippsland over 10 months, consisting of six two-hour sessions, roughly a session every six weeks. Each workshop will have a specialist presenter teaching five different themes. The themes include the basics such as how to take a soil test or get an aerial map of your property, through to healthy soils, pastures, horse nutrition, and property design. The final session is a celebratory graduation dinner. “The idea is to have 30 people divided into two groups of 15, to keep numbers low and allow participants to learn from each other,” Ms Jenkins said. “We know horse owners are busy people with many commitments, so the first session (the basics) will decide the day of the week and timing. “Possibly weekday nights for one group and weekends for the other group, hoping to make it easier for anyone to participate. “The group will also decide the location of the

The Healthy Equine Land Practices project aims to educate horse owners. events, with the aim of keeping things central to reduce travel time. “The best bit is (that) you’ll get to learn with a group of like-minded horse lovers.” The H.E.L.P. Project is a collaborative effort, run by Regional Landcare East Gippsland, Southern Farming Systems, the East Gippsland RALF Project and the East Gippsland CMA. It is supported by East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority through funding from the Victorian Landcare Program and the federal

government’s National Landcare Program. The cost for participating is $110 per person, with the location of the workshops to be determined by the full list of applicants. Interested participants are advised that the program is already half-filled, and are encouraged to register their interest quickly.

for up to 12 months. Participants receive safety training and relocation assistance and have the opportunity to join the farm after their completion of the program. Gavin Dal Broi is a cotton farmer in Griffith, NSW who is participating in the inaugural year of the program. He said the program had been a boon in ensuring tasks got done in time, in a period of uncertainty as they face rising labour costs. “It’s been a struggle the last couple of years to find labour with COVID-19 restrictions and the lack of backpackers and seasonal workers - we’ve been flat out trying to get anyone to join,” he said. “The program has worked out really well. Our participant Julian is learning as he goes, and it’s been easy introducing him to the farm. I want to apply for the gap program every year, the more people that we take on means more young people working in ag in the future.” Emma Pretorius is currently completing the AgCAREERSTART program on a dairy farm in Meander, Tasmania with dairy farmers, Brian and Michele Lawrence. She said her time on Janefield Dairy has presented her with a range of new and interesting challenges. “Ranging from milking early in the mornings to feeding out in the afternoons, every task I’ve been given has provided me with lifelong skills and values. I can honestly say the past few months have been the most engaging and interesting months of my life and I’m overly excited for more to come,” she said. Applications for both farmer hosts and participants are now open. For more information and to register your interest visit www.agcareerstart.com.au

Gap year program aims to get kids working in farming sector AS Australia grapples with a national labour shortage, young school leavers have been helping keep the agriculture supply chain afloat through a national agriculture gap year program. The success of the first year of National Farmers Federation’s (NFF) AgCAREERSTART saw more than 300 people apply to the program, to be placed with farmers across the country across multiple industries including grains, livestock, horticulture and dairy. NFF is once again on the hunt for the next generation of agriculture leaders to apply for the AgCAREERSTART 12-month gap year program. NFF chief executive officer Tony Mahar said the program had seen school leavers learn new skills while assisting farmers to fill critical labour gaps. “The impact of Australia’s current labour shortage is already being felt by farmers across the country, with an estimated $22 million in crop losses having already been reported,” Mr Mahar said. “The AgCAREERSTART program is a new way of building a skilled workforce to complement the in demand skills farmers need and to help innovate industry practices. “The partnerships forged in round one of AgCAREERSTART have been a huge success for farmers and students alike, with students learning about farm data capture and mapping and operating state-of-the-art machinery. “Many of the participants are moving out of home for the first time and learning essential life skills such as cooking, communication and problemsolving skills, as well as undertaking training that will help in their future careers such as obtaining a first aid certificate, truck licence or forklift ticket.” Through AgCAREERSTART, participants are employed under award wages on qualified farms

Morwell Drouin (win) Sale (lose) State of play: WILL need to win the last two to be any chance. Even a 200-point win this weekend won’t get them close to Maffra’s percentage. Moe Leongatha (lose) Wonthaggi (lose) State of play: NEED to win their last two and rely on Maffra and Morwell dropping both. Look, it’s going to take some doing.

STUART Anderson was inducted as a life member of the North Melbourne Football Club recently. Anderson, from Sale, played 61 games for the Kangaroos, including their 1996 premiership. Anderson was one of six new life members, inducted last Sunday as part of the club’s 1996 premiership reunion. Joining Anderson as new North Melbourne life members were Peter Bell, Glenn Freeborn, Mathew Capuano, Robert Scott and Mark Roberts. The six 1996 premiership players were presented their life memberships by coach Denis Pagan. Anderson is still a figure on the local sporting scene, playing cricket for Collegians during summer. Post-AFL, he coached Sale, Heyfield and Bairnsdale Football-Netball Clubs, and is currently involved with Maffra FNC.

Last place in finals is down to the wire Liam Durkin

THE Gippsland League completed Round 16 at the weekend. Just two matches were played, in what was the second half of a split round. While a 3,2,1 is mostly associated with vote counts, there is a 3,2,1 of a different kind for Maffra, Morwell and Moe. The trio are all equal on points with two weeks left in the regular season, fighting for just one remaining spot in the finals. I’VE ran out of adjectives to describe how good Leongatha are. The Parrots continued not only their season 2022 winning streak, but the longest winning streak in country Victoria, stretching back to April last year, after they defeated Maffra 19.15 (129) to 6.7 (43). Travelling to a ground colloquially known as ‘The Aviary’, the Eagles were soon in a world of hurt. A six goal to two opening quarter gave Maffra some time to make up lost ground, but by the main break the game was as all but over. Leongatha kicked four goals to none in the second term, taking a 54-point lead into the sheds. From there it was more of the same. The Parrots added nine goals to four in the second half and sent a very ominous warning to all challengers on the eve of finals in the process. Josh Hopkins kicked four goals to be among the best for Leongatha. Jake van der Pligt, Ned Hanily, Matt Wilcocks, Tom Marriott and Luke Bowman were also prominent. James Huts had his hands full down back for Maffra, and did an admirable job under great adversity. Kade Renooy also battled hard, as did Luke Shelton, Ed Carr, Alex Carr and Jack Challands. The result was not enough to displace the Eagles from the top five, although the profile of the loss indicates Leongatha may just be about ready to steamroll anyone in its path come finals. In a show of just how deep the Parrots bat, Leongatha’s reserve grade side kept Maffra goalless. Without knowing for certain, there is a very good chance that has never happened before, and if it has, you would have to dig very deep to find out. As a seconds player himself for the best part of 10 years, who has been on the receiving end of some genuine pastings from the Eagles, this writer has certainly never seen or could even fathom a Maffra team not managing to kick a goal in a reserve grade game. MOE defeated Drouin at home. The Lions played out a competitive match against the Hawks, and eventually won 13.11 (89) to 10.16 (76). Very little separated the sides, in what was a match that never reached any great heights, but kept spectators interested as a clear winner was not set in stone until late in the game. Drouin took a 10-point lead into the main break, before becoming undone by a familiar face. As fate would have it, former Hawk Matt

Ed Carr was among the best players for Maffra at the weekend. Barrand tore the game apart early in the third quarter, kicking three goals in five minutes. Barrand’s purple patch saw him end the day with five goals for Moe, while skipper Jacob Wood’s desperation during the last quarter led to the sealing goal. Pleasingly for Moe, three players who will essentially be future leaders of the club were all in the top four players. Trent Baldi was best-on-ground, continuing a breakout season that has seen him listed in the best eight times. Harri Sim was also in the best again, and also took his tally to eight Vice captain Scott Van Dyk and former captains James Blaser and Ben Morrow did a good job for the winners. Blaser kicked four goals, Van Dyk stopped just as many, and Morrow wasn’t far from either around the ground. A Drouin player who did prove hard to stop was Ryan Maric. The youngster ran amok in the forward line, and kicked six goals in a best-on-ground display. While the effort was outstanding enough, it was even more astounding considering he already played a game in the Under 18s earlier in the day.

With the Hawks already signing a new coach in Brett Clinnick for next season, he will surely want to get Maric’s name sign, sealed and delivered as soon as possible. Jack Fraser, Jarrod Marshall, Jordan Kingi, Ryan Taylor and Joseph Collins were others to play well for Drouin. The closeness of the contest was probably due to both sides becoming evenly matched due to circumstance. Drouin has used 40 players in its seniors this year. Moe has used 38, and only Trent Baldi, Grady Cocksedge, Brock Smith, Matt Heywood and Joe Skinner have played every game. In comparison, Maffra had 12 players play every game when they won the premiership in 2019. With Drouin’s season done, and Moe’s only mathematically alive, the Lions can take some solace in the fact they are still equalfifth with two rounds to play, and amazingly (and equally bizarrely), their reserves are half-a-game clear in the top five. Despite all the injuries and lack of continuity, perhaps the lesson is this: Things are never as bad as they seem.

Swans still in fight for top-two Liam Durkin

THERE was no joy for Stratford or BoisdaleBriagolong in the penultimate round of East Gippsland football. Although a place in the finals is secure for the Swans, they suffered a defeat to Wy Yung, while the Bombers did not fare much better in their clash with Lindenow. NEEDING a win to sew up a double-chance, Stratford and Wy Yung went head-to-head on the Swans’ home deck. The match looked set to be a high-scoring affair, as eight goals were kicked in the opening term. The Tigers built a four-goal buffer during the second quarter, which it was able to use to keep the Swans at bay for the rest of the match. Stratford was still in with a chance at three quarter time, but an anticlimactic last quarter saw both sides only manage two goals. In the end, the Swans had to accept a 12.12 (84) to 7.8 (50) defeat. Despite the result, Stratford won’t be overly concerned, as turning around a six goal margin is more than doable. The Swans will welcome the opportunity to get

the Tigers on Bairnsdale City Oval in a final, but for now, their attention will be focused solely on winning Round 18 to earn the double-chance. Stratford only holds second place by two points from Lucknow, meaning it is going to come down to the last round to determine who gets an immunity card come finals. The Magpies should win their Round 18 match against Boisdale-Briagolong, while the Swans take on Lakes Entrance. Zane Perkins was again in the best for Stratford, while Alex Morcom, Haydn Erfurth, Gavin Bickery, Liam Cunningham and Reegan Tait were serviceable. In better news for the Swans, youngster Blake Cuttriss made his senior debut. The 18-year-old has been identified as a player to watch, and Stratford are hoping he can develop into a fine ruckman. To Swans coach Jarryd Clohesy’s credit, he has been prepared to give a kid an opportunity even right on the eve of finals. Luke Elia, Jobe Somerville, Jock Overend, Brad Daniel, Dylan Somerville and Mitch Toms stood out for Wy Yung. BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG now looks certain to claim the wooden spoon. The Bombers competed in the first half against

Lindenow, but dropped off completely on the resumption. At half-time the margin was a manageable 32-points in favour of the Cats, but this bled out to 55 at the final siren. The Bombers didn’t manage a goal in the third quarter, but were at least able to win the last quarter as the scoreboard read 16.18 (114) to 9.5 (59) come the end. Kel Porter was his industrious self for the travelling red and blacks. Daniel Johnson, Billy Marshall, Ben Wilkinson, Paddy Mack and Sam Bedggood were others to ‘have a dip’. The man for whom the East Gippsland league best-and-fairest is synonymous with, Luke Dyer, kicked five goals, while Rohan Blandford kicked three. Stephen Henshaw was best for the Cats, along with Blandford, Kevin Bongers, Matt Irish, Ash Gould and Kyle Holmes. Boisdale-Briagolong has fallen a game behind seventh-placed Orbost Snowy Rovers, meaning it will take a herculean effort for the Bombers to not finish last once Round 18 is complete. The cruelty that is the footy cycle can be demonstrated using Boisdale-Briagolong. The Bombers played in a grand final just three seasons ago, and now look set to claim the wooden

spoon. How quickly things can turn. And how critical it is to capitalise when you are in the premiership window. IN other matches, Orbost Snowy Rovers continued their great mini-revival, with a thrilling one-point win over Lakes Entrance. The Blues got up 10.14 (74) to 10.13 (73), making it three wins in the last four weeks. Jessie Pescod, Wesley Russell, Jarrah Nettleton, Clancy Bennett and Jordan Ross played well for the winners. Best for the visiting Seagulls were Jarrod Matthews, John Hooper, Jared McDonnell, Ben Crittenden and Sam Nickless. LUCKNOW had an easy win over Paynesville. The Magpies didn’t give the Gulls a look-in, winning 13.15 (93) to 4.4 (28) at home. The win keeps Lucknow’s chances of earning the double-chance alive. Best for the Magpies were Tom Southen, Jesse Glassborow, Ry Mutimer, Jackson Smith, James Sanford and Joel McNamara. Ben McKinnon, Caleb Holland, Beau Haslam, Nick Pincott, Matt Silva and Daniel Jones were best for Paynesville.

better than their bottom-third position on the ladder in recent seasons would suggest, and a side boasting the likes of Jackson Hall, Jay Neagle and Nic Quenault was always going to come good eventually. It would seem they are now a side starting to come good. SALE CITY had some fun against Gormandale. With no finals to play for, the Bulldogs set about kicking a massive score on their home deck - and that is precisely what they did. Just like Jason Gillespie, Sale City reached the double ton just before the final siren, with their effort reading 29.26 (200) to 4.5 (29). As they have done all season, the Tigers fought valiantly, but could not contain Bulldog forwards Ben Brett, Mitch Evans and Blake Safstron, who kicked 18 goals between them. Brett took player-of-the-match honours, while Safstrom and Evans weren’t far behind. Jack Kirkham, Sam Davidson and Cam Green (not on permit from cricket duties), found plenty of the ball. Kodie Owen, Liam Deeing, Tyler Kanara, Mitch Jones, Trent Baldwin and Jereme Lazaris soldiered on for Gormandale. TTU had the bye.

WOODSIDE also got itself ready for finals. The Wildcats, headed for an elimination showdown with Yarram in a fortnight’s time, dismissed Cowwarr with relative ease. Taking to their home deck, Woodside led at every change to win 18.23 (131) to 3.5 (23). A frugal defence highlighted the day, while there was plenty of attack from the men in the hoops, but not a great deal of accuracy as they peppered the goal face. Fortunately for the Saints this inaccuracy softened the impact on the scoreboard, and kept them off the bottom of the ladder for the time being. A seven goal second quarter was the Wildcats best, and they only allowed Cowwarr to add 1.3 (9) in the second half. David Waddell kicked six goals and Ryan Foat five for Woodside. Foat was best-on-ground, followed by Hamish McLeod, Waddell, Trent Askew, Lee Stockdale and Jeremy Morgan. Ben Coffey, Jack Casson, Nick Wozniak, Braden Johnston, Matt Bourke and Kyle Stamers put in determined efforts for Cowwarr. GLENGARRY continued to take steps in the right direction. The Magpies again showed they might be a team that makes a climb up the ladder next season, after defeating Heyfield by 12 points. Following last week’s victory against Sale City, Glengarry was able to make it back-to-back wins over credible opposition by defeating the Kangaroos. Only six points separated the sides at the final break, but the visiting Magpies found a way to grind out a character building 9.18 (72) to 8.12 (60) victory. Lachlan Jewell played well for Glengarry, as did Travis Patten, Jack Burgess, Declan Massaro, Ben Britten and Michael Ryan. Best for Heyfield was Liam Heasley, Adam Wallace, Brayden Woodland, Tom Marchesi, Shaun Humphreys and Bailey Escreet. In the eyes of most, Glengarry has been a lot

North Gippy warming up Liam Durkin WITH the top-fi five i already decided, Round 17 of the North Gippsland Football-Netball Leagu gue u essentially acted as match practise for teams headed toward finals.Yallourn fii Yallourn North, Churchill, Yarram and Woodside were afforded the opportunity to fine-tune, fii trial and, along with Traralgon Tyers United, perhaps even rest a few key players as there is still one more round to play before the real stuff starts. THE match that carried the most interest was between YYN YY YN and Churchill. Both sides entered the match with a double-chance sewn up, and eager to get a psychologi gical i edge on their opponent in anticipation for a likely finals fii encounter. Having lost to the Cougars earlier in the season, there was some discussion surrounding whether or not the Jets had grown grr as a team from that day, or had simply beaten up on weaker opponents in the time since. An Any n such doubts were surely extingu guished u at the final fii siren, after a fast-fi finishing i YY YYN YN won 18.14 (122) to 12.9 (81). The Jets slammed on six goals to one in the last quarter at home, and will take the minor premiership into the finals fii series. The match was an arm-wrestle up until three quarter time, with the biggest margi gin i at any of the first fii three breaks just six points. With a few question marks over the Cougars’ depth this season, the grind grr of a hard game such as this eventually took its toll, and YYN YY YN was able to capitalise. Jai Massese was instrumental in the win, taking out beston-gr ground r honours. Massese has been a model of consistency in 2022, named in the best 11 out of 15 games. Others to perform well for the Jets were James De Virgi gilio, i Dylan Bath, Campbell MacInnes, Allan Norris and Braden Paulet. Key forw rward w Ben Kearns was best for Churchill, while Chris Wangman impacted the scoreboard with five fii goals. Calen Hill, Jordan Fenech, Rhys Luxford and Joey Whykes Wh h also did a good job. The Jets’ win sets up a mouth-wateri ring i Round 18 clash against fellow top-three side TTU fresh off a bye. They say hindsight is a wonderful thing, and looking at YYN YY YN from when they first fii entered North Gippsland, it is crazy to think most people (including this writer) tipped them to take a few years to adjust. On closer inspection, they were never going to struggle - a forw rward w line of Dean MacDonald, Mitchell Luck, Keenan Hughes and Josh Keyhoe wouldn’t look out of place in the Gippsland Leagu gue. u The Jets have certainly proved a few people wrong, and a fll this season to go alongside their Mid Gippy one from 2019 flag would cap off a fair domination of local footy.

YAR ARRA RRAM AM got some kilometres into their legs against Rosedale. The Demons make the trip to the town of two pubs and two bakeries, and left with the four points after winning 18.11 (119) to 6.8 (44). Yarram blew the game open in the first fii quarter, slamming on nine goals. From there, they were able to put the game in cruise-control, and see the contest through to the end. Corbin Sutherland, Anthony An n Scott and Josh Swift all had solid returns in front of goal, nabbing five, fii four and four respectively. Boadie Motton was best for the Demons, and had a few mates in Tate Chisolm, Louis Rodaughan, Liam Bentley, Dan Vardy and Tyler Chisholm help him out. Will Logan played a lone hand for Rosedale, kicki kii king i four goals. Luke Stuckey, Ryan Burns, Declan Barnett, Riley Atlee and Rohan Hilderbrand battled hard. Continued page 29
