VALLEY LURES NEW FISH FARM

THE Latrobe Valley could soon become a barramundi breeding ground with a $30 million federal government grant to usher along an indoor aquaculture farm alongside the Maryvale paper mill.

Opal Australian Paper and MainStream Aquaculture plan to build the world’s largest indoor bio-secure aquaculture farm to produce 3700

barramundi a year for the Australian dinner table.

The federal funding announcement for Opal is the second within a week, off the back of a $48.2 million federal grant for the Maryvale Energy from Waste project.

The $125 million recirculating aquaculture system would be colocated at Maryvale using fresh water sourced directly from the Moondarra

Reservoir, with heat provided from the mill.

The project was announced in 2019 after the state government contributed $800,000 towards a $1.24m feasibility study which was completed in 2020.

The facility would provide 364 operational jobs with the potential to produce more than 10,000 tonnes of barramundi per year.

Opal aquaculture project leader

Craig Bosch said the facility should be ready for construction next year, pending detailed designs and regulatory approvals.

Mr Bosch said the indoor facility would be fully-bio secure, and liquid effluent from the tanks would be captured into Maryvale’s wastewater treatment plants.

Claim a Tax deduction and help victims of Asbestos and Silica The Victorian State Government conducted an epidemiology study of the Latrobe Valley in 2003 and found the Gippsland area has been affected by asbestos more than any other area in Victoria. And yet, people still risk asbestos exposure! Added to this, in the last few years, silica sufferers have emerged as another wave of victims that ACV/GARDS support.

TRARALGON doggos and their humans can hang out for a wag as Latrobe City Council has agreed to retain the town’s dog park while it looks for the funds and a place to build a bigger one.

Latrobe City will also ask the state government to include the municipality for funding under its new dog park program.

Councillors agreed to keep the fenced dog park at Bert Thompson Reserve off Franklin Street which averages about 140 visits a day from playful pooches.

The park began as a trial in 2019 after Latrobe City received a petition with more than 2600 signatures, but it had been proven so popular that council now needs to seek a larger area.

The trial had been so well-received that dog owners had been traveling from all across Latrobe City, as well as from outside the municipality to visit the park.

Cr Tracy Lund spoke in favour of building a bigger dog park, citing the health and wellbeing benefits to both canines and their two-legged carers.

“They provide opportunities for dogs to exercise

and socialise with other dogs and they also provide benefits for dog owners, local places to connect and they get owners out in the community,” Cr Lund said.

“We now need to work to pursue future funds to establish a bigger and more permanent location for one somewhere in Latrobe.”

Latrobe City has also endorsed its fenced dog park guidelines to help it design and locate new dog parks.

A new park would need perimeter fencing, double entry gates, pathways, surface materials, landscaping, fountains, bins and bag dispensers, shelter, seats and parking.

The park would also need to be large enough to close off areas for maintenance and to separate different types of dogs, all up costing council between $50,000 and $300,000.

“It makes perfect sense to pursue these opportunities we may now have to be included in the state government new dog park program,” Cr Lund said.

“While we do this, it’s important the existing dog park remains and we endorse the guidelines that will support any new fenced dog parks we may construct in the future.”

Planned demerger is on track declares AGL

By MICHELLE SLATER

AGL has hit back at major shareholder Mike Cannon-Brookes as it forges ahead with a planned demerger next month, while an unplanned outage at Loy Yang A is expected to cost AGL $73 million.

Unit 2 went offline in April for the second time in three years, and the outage is not recoverable on insurance.

AGL expects it will not return to service until August.

AGL shareholders will vote on the demerger next month, despite a push from Mr Cannon-Brookes to halt the split.

Mr Cannon-Brookes told The Express last week he feared that AGL had not adequately outlined transition plans for coal communities as part of the demerger.

The tech billionaire said the smaller company Accel Energy could be left in a weaker financial position to manage earlier coal closures than leaving the company as larger single entity.

But an AGL spokesperson stated that the company had invited Mr Cannon-Brookes to share his plans beyond “simply blocking the demerger, but he has declined”.

“AGL has outlined a clear, considered path for the closure of our coal assets including Loy Yang A, which carefully considers the impact on reliability, power prices and our workforce,” the spokesperson said.

“This is important because we recognise the importance of continuing to support our communities during transition.

“We are progressing the development of the low-carbon industrial energy hubs at each of our existing thermal generation sites, including Loy Yang A, provides essential jobs and economic activity to communities, and rehabilitates sites, while also supporting Australia’s energy transition.”

AGL will start closing Loy Yang A by 2040, but in the meantime the site will become home to a $150 million 200 megawatt grid scale battery that should be online next year.

AGL has stressed the demerger plan was backed by “real investment and a pipeline of real projects” to “lead Australia’s energy transition”.

Centre of debate: AGL has hit-back at major shareholder Mike Cannon-Brookes as it forges ahead with a planned demerger next month, while an unplanned outage at Loy Yang A is expected to cost AGL $73 million. file photograph It has underwritten 3 gigawatts of renewable and flexible energy by 2030, along with 2.7GW of wind, battery, pumped hydro and low-carbon firming projects.

The spokesperson said the demerger would provide “the best path for our long-term success and viability as a job creator and contributor to the community”.

“AGL’s demerger is decisive action towards a responsible transition for Australia’s energy sector, but we recognise that we must do this with the affordability and reliability of energy supply and the needs of the workforce and the communities we serve in mind,” the company spokesperson said.

“What the demerger does is allow flexibility and more focused strategic direction for each company moving forward, with clear pathways to low-carbon futures and tailored financial structures aligned to the financial and operating profiles of each business.”

Cash for hydrogen welcomed LATROBE City Council welcomes the federal government’s $2.98 million commitment to the Latrobe Valley Blue Hydrogen project by Zero Degrees Rosella.

The commitment made by Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor MP and Nationals Member for Gippsland, Darren Chester MP will boost the region’s profile as a low emissions technology hub and support Latrobe City’s economic transformation and Strength Led Transition.

The announcement followed a meeting held last week with Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan and chief executive officer Steven Piasente and Darren Chester MP. This meeting was an opportunity to outline how the hydrogen industry could grow the city’s economy and employment prospects during a time of energy sector changes.

Latrobe City is the only Victorian location selected by the federal government as an appropriate area for such a hub.

Cr O’Callaghan welcomed the federal government’s announcement and support of the City’s economic transformation.

“On behalf of council, I wish to thank the federal government for their investment in the Latrobe Valley Blue Hydrogen project,” Cr O’Callaghan said.

“Our city is well positioned for hydrogen given our history of energy generation. This includes our industrial capacity and existing engineering skills, transmission infrastructure and carbon storage sites. This announcement acknowledges our region’s highly skilled workforce and supports high-value skilled jobs.

“This commitment will begin to position Latrobe City as an industry leader, taking advantage of an unprecedented opportunity to deliver new jobs and career pathways for our community.”

“The Australian Conservation Foundation should be honest with Gippslanders and explain how it achieved these results.

“I support a balanced approach to power production with reliable and affordable energy for households and industry.”

The Express contacted Federal Labor for a response.

Commit to reserve project, candidates urged “We lost a lot of equipment during the floods and it has been a very stressful time for us,” Ms Matthews said.

“Our members need constructive things to do to feel like they are making a difference. Not having somewhere to come has been really difficult for them.”

Traralgon Football Netball Club president Kevin Foley noted the impact on the club.

“We lose something every time we have floods, whether that is memorabilia, tackle bags, footballs and other equipment,” Mr Foley said.

“You lose a bit of your spirit every time too and I’m not sure we can go through many more.”

Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby president Bodye Darvill outlined the affect the floods had on their club.

LATROBE City Council is calling on federal candidates to invest in the Traralgon Flood Recovery Project across Traralgon Recreation Reserve and Glenview Park.

An investment of $3.25 million is required to complete the $10 million project.

This will complement the $4.75 million state government investment through the 2022/23 Victorian Budget and $2 million from Latrobe City Council.

The current level of investment will partially support the following clubs: Traralgon Football Netball Club, Traralgon Bridge Club, Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby, Traralgon Amateur Boxing Club and Ex-Students Cricket Club.

The following clubs require full investment in their facilities including Traralgon Men’s Shed, Model Makers Club, Traralgon Pigeon Club and the Traralgon and District Agricultural Society.

Traralgon Men’s Shed secretary Lyn Matthews reflected on the organisation’s experience.

TRARALGON is Australia’s fifth most polluted postcode, according to data analysed by the Australian Conservation Foundation.

ACF looked at National Pollutant Inventory emissions data on sulphur dioxide, mercury, coarse PM10 and fine PM2.5 particles and oxides of nitrogen NOx. It found six of Australia’s ten most polluted postcodes were home to coal-fired power stations or coal mines, also including Muswellbrook, Gladstone, Stanwell and Collie.

The data found Loy Yang A was Australia’s second biggest emitter of SO2 and third highest for NOx. ACF economy and democracy program manager Matthew Rose called for nationally-consistent air quality standards and a federal plan to help coal communities’ transition to clean energy.

Mr Rose said coal-fired power continued to be a major contributor to serious health problems in Australia.

He said Australia’s air pollution standards were fragmented and in many cases weaker than recommended by the World Health Organisation.

“Closing coal-fired power stations is essential to tackling climate change, but without a federal plan to manage the transition, the changes will be highly disruptive for certain communities,” Mr Rose said.

“This is an election issue, with communities in Gladstone, the Hunter Valley and the Latrobe Valley pleading for greater certainty about their futures and all Australians wanting cleaner air and less pollution in their streets and backyards.”

An AGL spokesperson said the company was taking “decisive action on decarbonisation”, with its updated climate commitments, supported by its proposed demerger.

This included bringing forward Loy Yang A’s closure to between 2040 and 2045 “AGL Loy Yang continues to work cooperatively with all environmental agencies to ensure we comply with our environmental and regulatory obligations,” the spokesperson said.

“We are committed to the regions in which we operate and continue to progress our plans to transform our thermal generation sites into low carbon integrated industrial energy hubs that will support the decarbonisation of Australian industry.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said it was “simply not possible to shut down our coal-fired power stations and keep the lights on”.

Art at heart of program

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Latrobe Valley arts sector has been given a shot in the arm with a new professional development program to train arts technicians in Traralgon.

Gippsland Performing Arts Centre is hosting Tech Connect, a new training program run in partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne and the Victorian Association of Performing Arts Centres.

The program offers accredited training for people to work behind the scenes at live performances, providing them with the technical skills they need to get a job and build a career in the industry.

Twelve back-of-house workers and aspiring technicians are participating in the nationally accredited courses at GPAC. The program was being announced alongside the official opening of two new outdoor events spaces at GPAC, and a large outdoor screen for cinema and video.

The new outdoors areas sit alongside the $42 million 750 seat theatre which opened in March.

Latrobe City Deputy Mayor Dan Clancey said

the new training program would help get more techies back into the arts, after many lost their jobs in the pandemic.

“We have this brand new arts centre which is now a training centre for all of Victoria. It’s not just for locals but for technicians from all over Victoria to come here to train,” Cr Clancey said.

“As we start to build the creative sector, it’s not just about what’s going on stage, but what’s happening behind it as well.”

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing helped open the new outdoors areas which were supported by the state government.

“Cultural hubs like Gippsland Performing Arts Centre breathe creative life into our local community, providing artists and creative workers with a place to work and present exciting events,” Ms Shing said.

“Not only are we investing in fantastic creative facilities, through Tech Connect we are supporting local jobs and ensuring our region has the skills needed to stage fantastic creative events.”

Valley lures new fish farm Continued from page 1

“This will be a huge game-changer in the Latrobe Valley with direct jobs and whole new skills sets such as aquaculture technicians and fish health specialists,” Mr Bosch said.

“It would provide a whole set of new well-paid jobs coming to the Valley.”

Werribee-based project partner Mainstream Aquaculture would operate the fish farm and provide the barramundi fingerlings to grow to 3.75 kilograms and sold into domestic markets.

Mr Bosch said Australia imports 15,000 tonnes of Asian frozen sea bass each year, which is sold as barramundi.

“We will look to replace imports for domestic production, we will be producing fish to highest Australian standards,” he said.

“There is an immediate need to scale-up the production of domestic white-flesh fish such as barramundi in Australia.

“It takes two years to grow the barramundi to size, so in three years’ time, I’m hopeful we will

have barramundi fillets from Gippsland into the market.”

Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said it was “a great example” of the federal government backing the private sector to provide “long-term and sustainable” jobs in the Valley.

“There is huge potential for new markets for aquaculture products as more pressure comes on wild fish stocks around the world and this innovative project will diversify our regional economy,” Mr Chester said.

“As I understand it, there is potential for further stages to grow more fish in the Latrobe Valley for local and international markets.”

The project is being supported by Latrobe City as part of its economic diversification plans for the region.

Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the federal investment meant Latrobe City could be a “leader in the Australian market bringing local barramundi straight to our plates”.

Parties commit to newsprint assistance

THE Coalition and Labor have committed to provide targeted support for regional and local newspapers to assist them in the face of dramatically rising costs driven by global pressures affecting print production.

Last week, Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, Paul Fletcher, committed $10 million to establish a new round of the Public Interest News Gathering program which would allow eligible regional newspaper publishers to apply for funding to support their sustainability in the face of newsprint prices rising by up to 80 per cent from July 1, 2022, if the Coalition was re-elected.

Later in the week, Labor announced it would establish a $15 million fund to assist eligible newspaper publishers absorb newsprint price increases, comprising $10 million for eligible regional newspaper publishers and $5 million for eligible local newspaper publishers, including independent suburban, First Nations and multicultural newspaper publishers if a Labor government was elected.

The announcement noted regional and local newspaper publishers remain exposed to external shocks, such as newsprint price increases which threaten to wipe out local newspaper titles for good.

As part of its campaign launch on Sunday, the Coalition extended its support by a further $5 million to include eligible local newspaper publishers, including multicultural, First Nations and independent suburban newspaper publishers with the rising costs of newsprint.

Regionalisation, Regional Communications and Regional Education Minister Bridget McKenzie said the support package is part of the Coalition’s plan for stronger regions.

“Our regional newspaper publishers employ thousands of people in regional Australia,” she said.

“Locally printed newspapers are so important for our regional communities because they tell local stories that will never be covered by the bigger publishers.”

Country Press Australia president Andrew Manuel welcomed the support of both the major parties to provide assistance to publishers in light of the unprecedented rises in the price of newsprint and other materials.

Hello. Day is back

HELLO, Latrobe Valley!

Hello. Day is back for 2022.

Last year Latrobe Valley saw the launch of the first annual Hello. Day – a celebration and promotion of kindness and social connection.

Hello. Day forms part of the Hello. Campaign, a Latrobe Health Innovation Zone initiative supported and led by the Latrobe Health Assembly.

The day is back this Saturday, May 22, where the community will be encouraged to greet each other as they go about their day.

As simple as it sounds, Hello. Day is just a prompt for the community to say ‘hello’ to those around them.

This year’s event will mark the rollout of a series of Hello. initiatives over the next six months.

Have your say at upcoming forum

By MICHELLE SLATER

LOCALS are being invited to unravel how the reforms into the state’s mental health system will apply to people over 50 at a forum in Morwell hosted by the Council on the Ageing.

The full-day COTA forum will discuss the eight recommendations handed down from the Royal Commission into mental health.

It will let locals learn more about the services and programs that will be available as these reforms are being rolled out.

Attendees will be able to hear from a panel of experts, carers and service users and discuss issues with other members of the community.

COTA Victoria outreach information team leader Nicky Barry pointed to a recently-announced $6.5 million mental health hub at Latrobe Regional Hospital as one of the reforms being rolled out in the area.

“We are especially aware people in non-metro areas are struggling to find support services if they have a mental health issue,” Ms Barry said.

“One of the big things is making sure local people are involved in the governance and decisionmaking of how services are managed and delivered appropriate for the people in that community.”

COTA Victoria chief executive officer Tina Hogarth-Clarke said the forum would also give

participants an opportunity to learn about locallybased services available now.

“The report, in all its detail, may appear overwhelming and complex so we are determined to unpack the contents and present it to participants in a digestible format,” Ms Hogarth-Clarke said.

“We want to arm the participants with all the resources needed so they can move forward with their mental health plans for their loved ones or themselves.”

The COTA Victoria forum will be held at the Morwell RSL on Wednesday, May 25 from 10am to 3pm.

To attend, register by visiting the COTA Victoria events webpage or call 1300 135 090.

Well done team: Graduates of the Ladder Step Up Latrobe Program with supporters and development coaches. photographs liam durkin

Ladder climbs to milestone

By LIAM DURKIN

YOUTH not-for-profit Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley celebrated its fourth birthday recently.

Celebrations were held at the Morwell Innovation Centre, with program graduates, facilitators and supporters gathering to hear about the positive impact Step Up Latrobe Valley has made to the lives of young people aged 16 to 25.

Graduates fronted the audience to tell their stories of how they managed to find direction and guidance through Ladder to help turn their life around.

Incredibly, in only a short space of time, Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley has helped close to 190 young people successfully identify, engage in and sustain education, training and employment.

What’s more, those who may have been branded ‘dead beats’ in a school classroom environment have proven that through programs such as Ladder, everyone has a chance to succeed.

Ladder differs from a conventional classroom as it nurtures participants through an intensive eight week program to identify goals and then provides follow-up support.

Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley program graduate Sarah is working two jobs and is currently looking at entering TAFE. She believes the program helped her with her

GP1640937

confidence and self-worth and has made her the person she is today.

“It gave me confidence. I was very shy and couldn’t speak for myself when I joined the program,” she said.

Support: Ladder development coach and former AFL player Michael Hartley, development coach and AFLW player Tarni White, Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive officer Chris Buckingham, Latrobe City councillor Tracie Lund, Ladder graduate Simone and Ladder acting chief executive officer Bob McKevitt.

Simone, another recent program graduate, entered the program as a reserved young person looking to return to school and find employment.

Through hard work, commitment, and support from the Ladder team, Simone returned to school and is currently participating in a traineeship with A Kinder Cup at Morwell Neighbourhood House’s social enterprise café.

“I’m also thankful to the Ladder Program for being such a positive thing in my life, and for continuing to provide me with opportunities even after I finished the program,” she said.

A special part of the birthday saw a series of video messages from AFL players and officials, including Gold Coast Suns star Touk Miller and AFLPA chief executive officer Paul Marsh.

The AFL industry has partnered with Ladder and has its origins back in 2007 when former Essendon player Mark Bolton, Paul Licuria (Sydney and Collingwood) and Joel Bowden (Richmond) decided to tackle youth homelessness.

Former Collingwood, Essendon and Hawthorn player Michael Hartley was in Morwell for the celebration, as was current St Kilda AFLW player Tarni White.

Both are currently working as development coaches with Ladder.

Hartley is still playing football as the prized recruit of Goulburn Valley club Seymour this season.

The celebrations did not just stop at the birthday, after it was announced the program would receive funding for another 12 months.

The Ladder Step Up program received renewed funding as part of a $7.5 million package in the Victorian Budget.

A birthday wouldn’t be complete without a cake, and program participant Bella was given the honour of cutting the first slice, along with Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing.

Ms Shing said she was proud of all graduates.

“Over the last four years, I have seen the real and incredibly positive impact the program has had on young people across the Valley,” she said.

“It’s quite literally changing lives. Every single graduate has not only gained confidence and skills, but has also become a role model for others to do the same - I can’t wait to see our graduates continue to thrive, and for more participants to make their mark into the future.”

Those interested in a program can visit the Ladder office at 19-21 Church St, Morwell.

ON a cold Saturday in Moe, a very warm welcome was given to a group of Fijians here on three-year working visas.

Sixteen men and four women, between the ages of 20-45, responded to a federal government advertisement calling for workers in the Australian agricultural industry.

They are working at the Moe abattoirs and are billeted in Moe, but not surprisingly, came unprepared for Gippsland’s cool weather.

A call for help received from the Fijian Community Association (Victoria) was met with an immediate response of warm clothes and household essentials from members and friends of Moe and Morwell Rotary Clubs, the local Vinnies stores and businesses.

The Fijians were welcomed with a barbecue lunch at the Moe Botanic Gardens where great Rotary fellowship was enjoyed and family photos and stories were shared.

The visitors keep in touch daily with their families through their phones on facetime, email, texts etc.

Rotary presidents Di Harrison from Moe and David McInnes from Morwell in their welcome to the Fijians, made known Rotary’s ongoing support and friendship to them.

Rotarian Pam Wood, representing the new Rotary program International Positive Peace, made a surprise visit bringing extra gifts of clothes, shoes and food, also offered support.

Check this out: Sailosi and Len Cairns sharing photos.

After lunch, Rotarians and friends were treated to a traditional Fijian ceremony where kava was served to the hosts with thanks and blessings, and songs were sung in the most beautiful harmonious Fijian voices.

Mat Morgan The Greens GREENS candidate Mat Morgan calls for climate action and a new government.

“What I’m bringing to this election is science lead climate policy. We have a just transition plan built off the German model which will leave no worker behind. We’re the only ones with real climate policy, not just pretty words or half baked targets full of accounting tricks,” he said.

“Climate isn’t a political sport, it’s not a dot point on a flyer, it’s science. The last decade of inaction is nothing short of disgraceful and it’s time for my generation to have a seat at the table. We will clean up this mess ourselves.”

Morgan’s direct messaging style has caught plenty of attention online, with thousands of followers ready to support his bid for federal office.

One person on TikTok writes “Mat is exactly what we need in Canberra. No bull,

no corruption, just a thick skin and genuine empathy.”

Morgan is keen to refocus the voters attention on policy.

“Sure I could sit here and sling mud at the various personalities in what I love to call show biz for ugly people, but the best election is one based on policy.”

“I know people want real action on climate, a federal anti-corruption commission, political donations law reform, dental into Medicare.

Healthcare professionals need to be incentivised to enter the field and paid properly when they get there.

“We need child-care and aged-care to put care before profits. We need to address the housing crisis, we need to address domestic violence, we need to address addiction, and we need a new government.”

“I deserve a liveable planet, your kids deserve

a liveable planet, we should stop talking about climate action, and deliver it. Now.”

Russell Broadbent Liberal Party of Australia I KNOW these are challenging times, but I’m very optimistic about the future of our region.

I understand the unique regional issues which matter most to our community and know that when you make life easier for families, business, pensioners, and veterans, you make life better for the whole community.

Whether it’s advocating for the humane treatment of refugees, championing for a better NDIS, or helping a constituent navigate service areas like aged care, child support or taxation, I’m driven by the inspirational stories of the people I meet.

What’s important to them is important to me: * Ensuring quality aged care and health services has been a passion of mine for more than 30 years. These facilities ensure our community remains not only healthy but

attract health care professionals to our area.

They’re important not just for the services they provide, but also for the economic value and social vibrancy they bring to these communities. * Keeping us safe on local roads and building infrastructure supports our growing population and is good for business, jobs and community wellbeing. * Trusted and reliable telecommunications are essential not just for supporting day to day connectivity but also for responding to natural disasters. If you lose power in a small town, you lose communications and water. * Preserving our unique environment and addressing the impacts of climate change is are issues I take very seriously. Adapting to changes in our climate is essential to our continued prosperity as Victoria’s major food bowl and I’m an active champion for improving

our local soils to support enhanced farming practices, food production and food supply.

Jessica O’Donnell Australian Labor Party JESSICA put her hand up this election because she cares about people, seeing the urgent need for change in Monash.

Over the last decade too many people have been left behind or have had their needs ignored.

Born and raised in Gippsland, and now living in Drouin, she is not a fly-in from Pakenham.

Having served as a councillor in Baw Baw Shire for four years, she now runs her own consulting business which focuses on local jobs and sustainable development.

Jessica is passionate about ensuring Monash gets its fair share and believes that strong Labor policy will deliver on things we need in aged care, education, healthcare, jobs, childcare and helping first homebuyers buy a home.

Labor will ensure thousands of people are trained by providing 465,000 fee-free TAFE

places for students studying in industries with a skills shortage.

There will be an extra 20,000 university places with the priority being in areas that address shortages in areas like clean energy, advanced manufacturing, health and education.

Child Care is expensive, and it often costs families more to have an extra day of childcare than they make in a day’s work.

Labor will lift the maximum childcare subsidy rate to 90 per cent for the first child and keep higher childcare subsidies for the second and additional children in care.

The increased subsidy will be extended to outside school hours care.

A Labor government will help first home buyers in the regional areas.

First home buyers will be able to buy a home with a deposit as low as 5 per cent - with the

government guaranteeing up to 15 per cent of the purchase price.

The property price cap will be $500,000 in our area.

Our older community members need and deserve better than they often get now.

The staff in aged care deserve better pay.

A Labor government will ensure each Aged Care facility has a registered nurse on site 24/7, we’ll increase the number of carers so each resident gets more care time and will back a real pay rise for aged care workers.

She is currently a sales agent, calling on her pharmacy clients.

Christine first stepped into politics for UAP in 2019.

Since then, her passion and fire to support the community has grown even deeper.

“I feel an obligation to the people who have come before us who possibly need help and support in their older years,” she said.

“This ever-changing world can be bewildering – even before the pandemic started.

“Community means all of us assisting each other to ensure the greater good and best livelihood for everyone in this wonderful state.”

David Walsh Australian Federation Party

THE Australian Federation Party is a new party which aims to fix our broken democracy.

We want to revive representative democracy so that our representatives represent us and speak for us in Parliament.

We are committed to listening to the voice of the Australian people.

We have a six-step pact that I and every candidate has signed which commits to introduce innovative processes to gain input from people in our electorates.

The major parties don’t do this. They think they know what it good for us and impose it on us whether we like it or not.

Australia has never suffered more devastating decisions than the disproportionate “public health” policies of the last two years.

These decisions were a continuation of

incompetence and corruption in our political system.

Basic freedoms were restricted or removed, many businesses were destroyed, extensions of the state now permeate every element of our society and every facet of our lives.

Valid scientific data and compelling evidence was ignored by a political establishment behaving more like those in unaccountable dictatorships. Parliament didn’t serve its purpose, which is to hold governments to account and prevent them from overreach. The police force was used as a tool of the government. Border closures and lockdowns were devastating.

Economically this current administration of government has mismanaged and transmitted trillions of Australians’ equity through custom clearing houses to international interests to benefit foreign stakeholders and OS fund managers, using superior Cannon laws these

I want to make sure our voices are heard in parliament.

I’m a lawyer, a small business owner, a mum, and an active member of the community.

The big parties are not listening to us. I

am here to listen and take action for our community.

I will represent our community’s strong views on the need to take immediate, sciencebased climate action, with a stable and fair transition plan to reskill coal workers, for long term jobs in renewable energy and related industries.

I will ensure we establish a federal anticorruption commission, to hold our politicians to account, and ensure public funds are spent in a fair and transparent way.

Housing affordability, small business support, roads, infrastructure, telecommunications, and access to health services are all issues affecting people in Monash.

If elected, these are the issues I will fight to address in Canberra.

I believe in transparency and accountability – what government does do in terms of both decisions and financial management of our money needs to be transparent and essential to regain the huge loss of trust in our government and institutions.

We need someone who is going to stand up for the principles of freedom, liberty, free market and individual.

My skin is in the game in Monash – I grew up on a dairy farm here, bringing up our own children here, schooled in Fish Creek, Leongatha Christian School, Leongatha Tech (back in the day) and Newhaven College before working my first job at the Penguin Reserve.

Later, I lived in Drouin and my work as an Agri & Business Banking Manager covered essentially the same area of Monash.

My partner Carl and I run a small construction business which specialises in sustainable and unique designs, and we are progressively (as time and money allows) improving our grazing farm and its soil with regenerative practices.

I love our region, its beauty from mountains to sea, our productive and precious farmland and most of all I love our people.

We can retain all that is good while we maximise our opportunities for the future and manage the challenges together.

I see the overreach of government at all levels of all persuasions and am pushing back against that.

We need small, effective government to provide core services and to get out of the way.

fund managers are compelled to return the wealth back immediately. That’s how we will bring this nation into real prosperity.

Ecologically, our country is in deep trouble.

Our soils are degrading. Our agricultural capacity is weakening.

Government services are mostly dysfunctional. Centrelink is a nightmare, NDIS is a massive bureaucracy, with larger corporations buying out the smaller providers, the opposite of what it was supposed to be.

Mental health services are in crisis, many in urgent need of help have no transport or facilities nearby preventing serious illness and suicide, the aged care sector is a disaster.

Older people want real alternatives to institutions, so we can stay at home with support for as long as possible.

There is a lot to do. Let’s get to work together.

our electorate – to make some real and positive changes for the people of Monash.

With your support, I WILL BE YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE in Canberra!

If you would like to contact me, please email contact@debleonard4monash.com.au.

You can find out more about what I stand for on my website: www.debleonard4monash. com.au.

I commit to adhering to the values that I have come to the election with, to continuing to engage in respectful dialogue.

We are each unique in our perspectives, ambitions, and concerns and I will seek to understand this diversity for each bill that goes through parliament.

The Liberal Democrats are a sensible alternative minor party, formed over 20 years ago. We will never increase your taxes and will never vote in parliament to restrict your freedoms or liberties.

An alternative to power-hungry politicians that continue to sell out small business and individual liberty in a naïve pursuit of perfect safety providing a sensible, principled, and solution-focused alternative that can provide real leadership towards a freer future.

Allan Hicken Pauline Hanson’s One Nation

I’M a blue collar worker throwing my hat in the political ring to bring back accountability/ transparency and faith in our political system.

For too long have the major parties undermined our sovereignty and prosperity to look after the top end of town or foreign interest and like many I’m tired of the majors bickering back and forth while everyday people are struggling and are having their needs overlooked, with One Nation’s sound policies we can rectify these wrongs at the root cause and start to give relief.

I’ve worked all around Australia and overseas on various projects, in remote places and for long periods of time, my working career has taught me hard work does get results/ communication is key and it doesn’t matter how many jobs you do correctly they will always remember that one time it wasn’t done

correctly (so do things correctly, first time, every time, take the time), I’m not a career politician.

I’m a fitter/father/family man that wants a better future for my kids, kids’ need the same opportunities that I had growing up, but under the other parties this will be a pipedream (I encourage all to look into all the parties policies).

Major parties always come out with big promises and leave out the backlash of set promises.

I urge the people to look past the big campaign ads and ask the candidates in this election questions like where do they stand on full-term abortion?

Gender fluidity taught in schools?

Do you support mandates/lockdowns?

Do you support foreign investors buying agricultural land & housing? I’ve answered

these questions and many more to show transparency.

We need to restore the Australian values and build a prosperous future for our kids.

Everyone’s vote matters, everyone matters.

Greg Hansford Pauline Hanson’s One Nation MY name is Greg Hansford, your One Nation candidate for Gippsland.

I’m standing because I’ve lost confidence in the leadership of our major parties.

They clearly have no idea of the issues facing regional Australians today.

They’ve allowed our great nation to gradually waste away industrially, economically and socially.

Now they seem to think they can spend their way out of our current situation.

If elected my main focus will be one of rebuilding our area’s economy by applying federal funding to projects that create ongoing, long-term jobs here, including reinstituting apprentice training for our young.

To do this One Nation will build new high efficiency, low emission coal fired power stations to take advantage of our 500+ years of known cheap coal reserves.

This will also benefit our state, its people and industries through access to a low cost, reliable power supply 24/7.

Fourteen per cent of our best farming land (372 million ha) and 20 per cent of our water supplies are owned by foreign financial speculators who buy and sell shares in these just to make profits.

We’d like to return these to Australian control/ownership, ban any further sales of freehold farmland and limit tenure of leasehold farmland to 25 years.

One Nation is the only party with a specific pro-life policies.

We will seek to roll back Labor/the Greens’ laws which legally allow abortion up to birth, sex selective termination and restore a doctor’s rights to conscientiously object to perform this procedure.

One Nation will seek the abolishment of Dan

Darren Chester The Nationals GROWING up as a boy, attending Guthridge Primary and then Sale High School, I would never have dreamed that it was possible to represent our region in Federal Parliament.

My dad Jim was a plumber, and mum Lois was a homemaker, and the idea that one day I would rub shoulders with prime ministers and premiers was ridiculous.

And that’s one of the main reasons why I want to continue as the Member for Gippsland.

I want to help all young people growing up in our region to achieve their full potential and to let them know that anything is possible if they work hard, and are passionate about their studies, or the jobs they do.

We should never sell ourselves short and we should be proud of everything our region contributes to the nation.

I believe Gippsland is the best region of the

greatest country in the world, and I’ve been extremely honoured and proud to work in partnership with our community to deliver record funding for local projects and critical services.

It’s not perfect and there’s always more to be done, and I have the energy, enthusiasm and experience to keep delivering for all Gippslanders.

If I’m elected on May 21, I will keep working to build a safer, stronger and fairer Gippsland.

We’ve achieved a lot together but there’s more to be done to build better transport and communications links we need to prosper in the 21st century and deliver the health services, aged care, childcare and disability support for our most vulnerable people.

At the same time, we need a strong economy to provide the resources to care for our

Andrews’ cruel two tiered vaccinated economy, allowing unvaccinated Australians to return to work, earn a living again, feed their families and pay their bills.

It would also go a long way to solving the critical labour shortages being experienced in many businesses and professions.

environment and keep our defence force strong in an ever-changing world.

I will continue to back jobs in our traditional industries and work to secure funding for investment in new and emerging sectors.

For a kid from Guthridge Primary School, it’s been a privilege to represent Gippsland and I’m asking for your support to continue the work we have started.

Jannette Langley Australian Labor Party THESE next few days before the 21st May is your final chance to cast your vote in this extremely important election.

It is urgent that you remember the past nine years.

So many sections of the community have been ignored resulting in the Aged Care Royal Commission results, the cost of childcare to families, inflation and the rising cost of living plus a decline in Medicare services.

An Albanese Labor Government will revitalise local industries and small businesses.

This in turn will provide employment opportunities.

Gippsland should be a manufacturing and energy hub which will be enhanced by the $10 million logistics precinct announced in the Latrobe Valley recently.

Training and retraining through extra

university places and free TAFE courses is another way of improving employment opportunities for local people.

An Albanese government will address climate change and has committed to a net zero emissions by 2050 and has the plans to make green energy a reality.

The recent bushfires and floods both in Gippsland and in other parts of the country shows how urgent this has become.

We must have a sustainable environment for our children and grandchildren’s future.

By putting your faith in me at the ballot box I promise to fight for the people of Gippsland and to listen to the community’s needs and be your voice in Parliament.

Jim McDonald Liberal Democrats JIM McDonald was born in Gippsland and grew up on his family’s beef farm near Meeniyan.

After completing high school, Jim worked as a stockman on sheep and cattle stations and as a machinery operator and rigger on construction projects.

In 2016, Jim successfully qualified for his commercial pilot’s licence and saw him begin his current career as an Ag Pilot.

He can often be found spraying and spreading fertiliser in the hills around South Gippsland.

Jim became interested in politics when the Labor Party shut down the live export trade in 2011, causing severe hardship to many of his friends in the cattle industry.

Gregory Forster United Australia Party

A FUTURE for all Australians.

When you go to vote, ask yourself, “What future am I voting for, for my children?”

The United Australia Party (UAP) has a vision and a plan to take Australia out of debt, and into a bright future.

Our national debt has exploded to a mind boggling one trillion dollars.

One million millions.

The UAP is the only party with a plan to pay off the debt.

By putting a 15 per cent license on Australia’s iron ore exports, our debt will be paid off in 20 years, rather than the 180 forecast by the current government.

Less debt means more money for Australia.

More money for hospitals, schools, infrastructure and other essential services.

We will cap home loan interest rates at 3

per cent to save your home from rampant rate increases.

I want to see you able to keep your roof over your head and your kids to feel secure.

In addition to this measure, we will bring back a trillion dollars of Australian Super funds that are currently invested overseas, back to Australia to invest in Australian industries.

It is time for a real plan to invest in regional growth.

We will introduce a 20 per cent tax concession for all Gippslanders living and working more than 200km from Melbourne’s CBD. This will invite real, long-term investment in our regional areas.

The current piece-meal approaches offering incentives for ‘city folk’ to fill short term roles don’t work.

We will establish reliable, affordable energy,

Marjorie Thorpe The Greens I BELIEVE our biggest responsibility is to care for our country and the people who live here.

In Gippsland, we need better access to better services like healthcare and education.

We need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis and to transition our homes, our businesses, our economy to renewable energy.

To strengthen our resilience across all of Gippsland’s communities, we need to lift standards of social justice and improve preparedness for natural disasters.

Together we can create new employment opportunities in power generation, industry and agriculture and build a better future for us all.

I am a proud Gunnai, Gunditjmara and DjabWurrung woman.

I campaigned to save the Grandmother trees on Tjapurong, the land of my grandmothers, and will continue to advocate for the protection of our forests, rivers, native vegetation and animals.

The health of our environment is essential for our social and economic well-being, but it is under threat.

As an elder my responsibility is to protect the land, water, and people, by participating in the community with integrity and passion.

To ensure a safe future for us, for our children, and for future generations, we need to do the right thing and fight climate change, protect water resources, and halt the shocking loss of biodiversity now.

Experience St Paul’s at Open Day this Saturday

ST Paul’s Anglican Grammar School is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year as it prepares to expand, and what better way to see what the school has to offer and see first-stage expansion plans than to attend their Open Day, where students and staff will welcome the community?

St Paul’s will provide Year 11 in 2026 and Year 12 in 2027 as part of an ongoing $21 million capital investment into the Traralgon Campus, offering the first kindergarten to Year 12 independent school option in the Latrobe Valley.

Their current Year 7 students will be the first to benefit from a high-quality, independent VCE experience in 2026.

St Paul’s principal Cameron Herbert believes connection and belonging are fundamental to the school’s sense of community.

“At St Paul’s, we strive to provide an inclusive environment in which our students can form meaningful connections,” he said.

“Our students and staff flourish in our safe and caring environment, and we are known for fostering a sense of family.”

“Our teachers genuinely care about their

students, believing that their wellbeing is of paramount importance, in addition to delivering a personalised learning experience. We are delighted to be able to provide a full independent education offering right here in the Latrobe Valley, without the need for bus travel.”

“Our Open Day will provide families with the opportunity to discover what it’s like to be a St Paul’s student by learning about the school’s diverse range of co-curricular, cultural and wellbeing programs, as well as the school’s strong academic curriculum.

“At St Paul’s, you can discover a place of learning that is committed to the growth, development and potential of every student, whatever their academic level and wherever their futures may take them.”

Staff and students are looking forward to meeting members of the community on St Paul’s Open Day. Tours of the kindergarten, primary school and secondary school will be available on Saturday, May 21 between 10am and 2pm at 46 Cross’s Road, Traralgon.

Intense concentration, careful listening and calm compromise are the keys to drama-free relations. But, with Mercury reversing through your money zone, it’s not a good time to buy big ticket items (like a house or a car), sign business contracts, apply for a bank loan or lend money to others. Instead, be a patient Bull and wait.

game, as the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio pushes you to rise Phoenix-like from the ashes of a difficult situation. A challenging relationship (with a partner, relative or neighbour) has the potential to be reborn into a much more positive partnership.

Thursday’s Sun/Pluto trine will help you release old grudges, let go of the past, forgive and forget, and move on. But a situation with a child, teenager or friend remains confusing and complicated.

Taurus The Lunar Eclipse lights up your

GGemini Dynamic Mars pairs up with Neptune on Wednesday, which is fabulous for taking bold new ideas and incorporating them into your professional plans for the future.

Destiny is around and you’ll find the more you combine the creative with the practical, the better the long-term outcome will be. But with Mercury still in retrograde mode (in your sign) there’ll be some stumbling blocks along the way. So do your best to be a patient and adaptable Twin.

Cancer This week will be confusing so

slow down and get your bearings before you proceed. Convivial Crabs – aim to get the balance right between socialising with others and spending quality time on your own. Shine a spotlight on your aspirations for the future.

Are they an honest reflection of who you are right here and right now? If you have an onggoingg problem that’s botheringg you,, look to a wise mentor or a mature friend for some well-chosen words of advice.

Lunar Eclipse shines an intense spotlight on a brewing and stewing family situation. And with Mercury still retrograde, it’s not a good week to make big decisions (especially involving goals and friendships). Be patient and listen to tried-and-true friends who have proved their loyalty. Be inspired by this week’s birthday great, Cher: “I can trust my friends. These people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.”

Remember Mercury (your patron planet) is in retrograde mode until June 3. So be careful you’re not just being a fussy and finicky meddler. And if you are too quick to critique others, then you could find yourself with a fractious friend or a cranky colleague on your hands. Praise and encouragement will get you a lot further than criticism, no matter how ‘constructive’ it is.

If you adapt to changing circumstances and accept mistakes and misunderstandings with good grace, then you’ll manage fine.

But avoid being a gullible Goat. Someone could try to pull the wool over your eyes, so stay alert. Aim to channel your creative Capricorn energy into friendships, neighbourhood connections and local community projects. It’ss a good week to think global, act local.

Families and caregivers attended and were a wonderful encouragement to the students.

Many different events were held, including long jump, discus, shotput, triple jump and sprints.

Some fun novelty events, such as the chicken throw, the sack race and the egg and spoon race were also factored into the day.

It was great to see the students support each other, cheering their house on and congratulating their peers for trying their best.

Trio: Isabella-Rose, Mia and Ella like being in Blue House together.

Aquarius This week’s Lunar Eclipse lights up your career/reputation zone. Plus taskmaster Saturn is still transiting through your sign, and Mercury is reversing through your creativity zone.

So confidence about your talents and your future direction is rather wobbly. Don’t listen to your inner critic! Be inspired by singer-actress Cher, who turns 76 on Friday: “If you’re waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.”

Pisces Neptune links up with Mars, so

creativity and empathy will soar. But be clear in the way you communicate, otherwise your true meaning will be scrambled. And are you being the real you? Or are you living your life according to other people’s agendas and expectations? The more you express the artistic, humanitarian and spiritual sides of your Piscean personality, the less confused you’ll feel. So it’s a great week to create, contemplate and help someone in need.

Focus: Logan enjoys the egg and spoon race

Friendly rivals: Grade 6 students, Kara and Allie (Year 6), supported each other even though they were in different houses.

On the move: Prep student, Emilia, competes in a sack race

Big effort: Gabriel puts his all into discus.

Connections equal belonging at St Paul’s At St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School, student happiness and wellbeing is of paramount importance.

For new students, it all begins with the school’s extensive transition programs into primary and secondary school, which establish connections amongst their cohorts and their peers and allow them to build confidence and readiness for making the most of their schooling.

In primary school, transition involves several steps including attending play afternoons and transition days before commencement.

The Preps are paired with a Buddy during transition and their relationships continue into Term 1, forming friendships, connections and memories that will last a lifetime.

As they proceed through to secondary school, St Paul’s students participate in our Year 7 Connection and Belonging Transition Program.

Above: St Paul’s Year 7 students being supported by Peer Support Leaders during their Peer Support Camp.

After attending a welcome interview with their families and the Head of school, teachers get to know families and uncover their child’s particular interests, aptitudes, and abilities.

They then attend a Friendship Morning, which marks the start of the Peer Support Program as children begin to navigate the campus and meet their new friends and student leaders.

Paired with several students in their year level, they are accompanied in early classes as they learn to navigate the school and get to know other students and their teachers.

In an extended three-day Orientation, students begin to understand the expectations of secondary school, learn how to follow a timetable, have sessions with many of their teachers, learn about the laptop program and participate in a music session.

All Year 7 students attend a Peer Support Camp early in Term 1, which is often one of the most unforgettable events of secondary school!

Chairo Traralgon

Prep students at Chairo Christian School’s campus in Traralgon have experienced a wonderful transition from kindergarten this year.

“They were well-prepared and have slotted into school life with ease. Staff members and students are very happy, and the learning that’s taking place has been fabulous.” principal Keryn de Bruyn said.

The transition program starts early in the year, with school students building relationships with the Kinder children and assisting with some programs.

The Prep teachers also spend time with them, especially during the last term of the year.

As part of the program in Chairo Kinder, the children come over to the school library during the course of the year for story time and book-borrowing, and they also participate in a range of wholecampus activities.

“It’s a great way to introduce and familiarise the children with “big school” so that when the new year comes there is

St Paul’s celebrates campus milestone

By JACI HICKEN

FOUNDING and current board members, students, and staff recently gathered to celebrate 20 years of St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Traralgon Campus.

During a special function to mark the milestone, principal Cameron Herbert acknowledged the ‘special’ people in attendance.

Chair of the school board Darren Jennings, who has been associated with the school for more than 15 years, spoke about the changes he has seen.

“It’s fantastic to see that we’ve got some people here today who were involved with the school from day one, involved in the planning, organisation, the staff, students and their families,” Mr Jennings said.

“It’s very exciting to be here for the 20th anniversary.”

Richard Prideaux, who was the second principal of St Paul’s, played an instrumental role in the growth of the Traralgon Campus.

He recalled the story of a school board

On Friday, February 1, 2002, the Traralgon Campus opened with 21 kindergarten students, 20 primary school students and 11 staff at Birchwood House.

Students moved to the current Cross’s Road site for the start of the 2003 school year.

Mr Prideaux remarked on the absolutely outstanding academic results and the friendly nature of all the students at the school.

“These are achievements that don’t come easily doesn’t just happen; a good school comes from committed families and St Paul’s has those families in spades,” he said.

Part of the celebration was focused on the whole school taking part in the initial demolition of the old basket courts to make way for the future centre.

The new future centre is a further expansion of the current campus and will welcome Year 11 and 12 students in 2025-26.

Performance: A highlight of the event was a rendition of Chopin’s Fantaisie Impromptu Op.66 by student Adam Guo.

New hub aims to help people thrive

By JACI HICKEN

A NEW outreach coffee hub has opened in Moe, helping underprivileged residents of the area.

TCB Living to Thrive founder and chairperson Tracy Kippen said there was a need for community support services, especially in the areas of domestic violence awareness and advocacy.

“I basically had a bright idea four years ago that people needed help,” Ms Kippen said.

“We decided to open up the coffee hub as a place for people, who feel socially isolated, can come to without any judgment.”

The service has recently moved from the former GEST building (old Moe Library) to a seven days a week operation at 81 Moore St, Moe. “Anyone can turn up for a coffee. All monies made through the coffee hub go directly back into providing services for those in need,” she said.

TCB Living To Thrive also runs a Foodbank service, with staff and volunteers on hand to assist people when they are in need.

“We are open to anyone, as we don’t ask for a health care card for someone to receive help, as even working people still need help,” she said.

“Between 25 and 30 people have been accessing the Foodbank each week and now that we have more space, we have opened up the foodbank Mondays and Tuesdays.”

TCB Living to Thrive is partly self-funded and has received a couple of grants, with the food for the Foodbank donated by a local church and occasionally local businesses.

If anyone would like to help or donate to TCB Living to Thrive, visit the community organisation’s page on Facebook.

Vital service: TCB Living To Thrive opened its new coffee hub in Moe last week.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK COOK LIKE AN ITALIAN WITH SILVIA COLLOCA

SBS Food, Tuesday, 8pm

KEEPING FAITH ABC TV, Friday, 9pm

On paper, Keeping Faith revolves around a mother and lawyer in the Welsh countryside. It sounds run of the mill, until you watch it. Beginning with a thrilling first season as Faith (Eve Myles, pictured) tried to find out where her missing husband had gone, it quickly became apparent that this was a series unafraid to go full throttle.

Packed with ambivalence, secrets, moody landscapes and a histrionic soundtrack, it’s back with its third and final season. Eighteen months have passed and Faith is busy juggling motherhood and the biggest case of her career, only to have her idyll threatened by the return of someone from her past – her estranged mother, Rose (Celia Imrie).

AUSTRALIA VOTES: ELECTION NIGHT LIVE ABC TV, Saturday, 6pm

As the nation either sits back with gritted teeth or hearts brimming with optimism, the votes are feverishly being counted and analysed. While we all wait to see who is going to guide Australia for the next four years or more, there’s something therapeutic about hearing the results come in live across the country – especially when it’s with a team of political analysis experts. Tune in to the developments and results with ABC chief election analyst Antony Green; seasoned journalists including Leigh Sales, David Speers (pictured), Annabel Crabb, Andrew Probyn and Laura Tingle; along with Labor’s Tanya Plibersek and Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham.

9-1-1 Seven, Monday, 9pm

You’re kidding if you think this excessive American confection, starring Peter Krause (pictured) and Jennifer Love Hewitt, following the nine-to-five of emergency first responders isn’t really a show about superheroes; they are dressed in ordinary paramedic and fire services gear, but don’t let that fool you. These folks can take on anything, from a newborn stuck inside a plumbing pipe, a boa constrictor choking a woman, an airbus plane crashing in water, and a roller-coaster packed with people stuck upside down. You name it, they’ve been there – and lived to tell the tale. This double episode kicks off with the team rescuing a diver who panicked in a shark cage.

If there’s anyone who makes cooking look like a cinch, it’s Silvia Colloca (pictured) – if only we could all look as fetching and joyous while we kneaded mouth-watering bread and simmered a rich ragu. The former opera singer and actress is not a trained chef, but the Italian expat is arguably more at home in the kitchen than Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal combined – she’s effortless. This week, Colloca gets into the spirit of Ferragosto, a mid-summer holiday ritual across Italy where families gather to eat delicious food. Featuring a sumptuous three-course feast with seafood and affogato, it’s the sort of public holiday we all need.

National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to celebrate the significant contribution of Australia’s almost six million volunteers.

Each year these volunteers dedicate over 600 million hours to help others, and locally the Latrobe region has many organisations where volunteers dedicate their time to benefit local communities, every day of every year.

National Volunteer Week is a chance for all of us to celebrate and recognise the vital work of volunteers and to say thank you.

Together, through volunteering, we are changing communities for the better. We are, Better Together.

Quantum Support Services

GP1642707

uantum Support Services is grateful every day for the team of volunteers who give their time and skills to work alongside us and support our community.

It is their willingness and compassion which makes a difference to many.

Quantum Support Services chief executive Natalie McDonald said some of the biggest heroes were our Foster and Kinship carers who help to support the 46,000 children in Australia who need a safe, stable home each night.

“Foster and Kinship carers play an invaluable role in caring for vulnerable children and young people, providing them with safety, security, stability, and opportunities for building positive relationships,” Ms McDonald said.

“They open their hearts and homes to provide care and opportunity for young Australians to thrive and belong, whether it’s for a few days, one night, a few weeks, a few months or even years.

“Across Gippsland there is a growing need for more foster and kinship carers.

Quantum is available to discuss these options with you, as well as provide training and support.”

Quantum is also supported by a team of volunteers who donate their time to support its food pantry, located in East Bairnsdale.

“We also give our thanks to the community members who volunteer their time and donate beautiful handmade quilts to our Community Care Unit, as well as those who support us with cuddle blankets, toys and literacy packs,” Ms McDonald said.

“Each volunteer takes us a step closer to ensuring a better experience for our community. As a community, we are better together.”

Glenys Crozier (LRH concierge)

How long have you been volunteering?

23 years this month.

What made you become a volunteer at LRH? I saw an advertisement in the newspaper back in 1999 and had always volunteered in a variety of places and loved working with children.

What other volunteer roles have you had?

I have been active in many roles within the community over the years such as Probus, Traralgon Eisteddfod, Meals on Wheels and O’Mara House.

What different roles have you had at the hospital?

Children’s ward, chemotherapy, dialysis, maternity, emergency, general wards and more recently, concierge.

What keeps you coming back after all these years?

I have always been involved in helping others, it’s part of who I am and something I love to do.

I grew up in a family where my mother was always involved in volunteering and helping others so it is something that just comes as second nature to me.

Every shift at the hospital is different depending on the patients you meet and the stories they tell, so it’s never dull.

Graham Brock (LRH patient transport) How long have you been volunteering for?

Four years.

What made you become a volunteer at LRH? After being at home for six months after retirement my wife wanted me out of the house!

Seriously though, I was approached by someone who worked at the hospital suggesting it might be something I would enjoy as well as helping them out.

What were you doing before retirement?

I worked at the SEC for 30 years and also another long period at the railways. I also worked as manager at the Traralgon Tennis Club and taxis.

What keeps you coming back and engaged?

I enjoy meeting and speaking to new people.

Through the patient transport I have also reconnected with people I haven’t seen for many years. I have made new friendships and I get fulfilment from helping those who are going through a tough time. I would recommend it to anyone who has the time to volunteer and assist people in the community who are often at their most vulnerable.

One hundred reasons to celebrate Mrs Cheney’s birthday LONG-TIME resident of Bupa Traralgon, Marion Cheney turned 100 on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, hosting a birthday party to celebrate the occasion.

Mrs Cheney, a mother of three boys Douglas, Len and Colin, grandmother to eight, great grandmother to 15 and greatgreat-grandmother to one, lived most of her married life in Somers Place, Traralgon.

“Dad worked at the paper mill for over 40 years, while Mum kept fit working in house duties for many families around Traralgon,” her No.2 son Len Cheney told The Express.

“Mum has a strong connection with the Traralgon Golf Club, with a strong interest in getting young kids involved in sport. She was always helping out and encouraging the youngsters at the Saturday morning golf clinics.”

Later in life, Mrs Cheney actively bowled as a member of the Traralgon Bowls Club.

The Sunday before her birthday, Mrs Cheney’s family and close friends came together to celebrate the milestone at the aged care facility.

Have you neglected your routine eyecare?

The COVID outbreak, close contact isolation and caring for loved ones through this time has prevented some people from prioritising their health care and consequently delaying making regular appointments and check-ups.

Since the beginning of 2020, we have noticed a significant drop in patients booking their routine eye examinations. Although we do send reminders, we acknowledge that there are a number of factors outside

of your control that may result in you putting your eye heallth to the botttom off the to-ddo listt.

As with any routine health check, the importance of regular eye tests is imperative to help with early detection of eye disease and to ensure your spectacles are suitable for your ongoing vision requirements.

Around 90% of all blindness and vision impairment in Australia is preventable or treatable if detected early.

Optometrists recommend that eye tests should be carried out every 2 years. If you are over 60, have diabetes or a family history of eye disease this should increase to a minimum of every 12 months.

Political promises can ring hollow

AS a follower of election promises, I am disappointed the Nationals undertaking at the last election of a 62 minute train between Traralgon and Melbourne has not seen the light of day. I have quietly been researching such high speed travel for the last four years.

As self-proclaimed leader of the newly formed PITS Party (Pie in the Sky), I announce interplanetary travel to Jupiter by early 2025.

Establishing a motel chain on Jupiter’s moons will take a decade longer, but a timetable has been drafted and the project costed.

A PITS working party has reported the Jupiter Project a more realistic option than the promise of a 62-minute Traralgon-Melbourne train journey. But it can be done.

Currently the 6.32am Traralgon-Melbourne train takes precisely 62 minutes to get to Pakenham.

By using the Jupiter system and travelling WARP speed between Pakenham and Flinders St, the 62 minutes can be achieved.

Good on you Klaus

I MUST thank Klaus Budnik (The Express, 27/4/22) for helping elect the Whitlam, HawkeKeating and Rudd-Gillard Labor governments which gave us the fundamentals for living: Medibank, National Superannuation, National Disability Insurance, the Fair Work Commission etc, all opposed by the Liberals.

These are the basics which have enriched our lives for ever. We must now plan for a better future.

Brian Mawhinney (The Express, 20/4/22) may be too young to know that the Curtin Labor wartime government in 1941-1945 stood up to the Churchill government to bring our soldiers home to defend Australia against the Japanese; the Whitlam Labor government dealt with the Darwin Cyclone; Brisbane and Seymour floods; and brought our soldiers home from Vietnam.

Both Klaus and Brian should know that Jannette Langley (Gippsland Labor) and Jessica O’Donnell (Monash Labor) are dedicated to supporting and, indeed, restoring reduced benefits under the NDIS and further reforms eg: inevitable Climate Change.

Public call for answers on direct council questions

IT HAS now come to light that two councillors have been engaged in, what has been labelled, misconduct.

Digging into it, it could be said that one could have held a more calm demeanour and another could have chosen words more differently, however in the scheme of things it seems like a distraction.

From what I can ascertain a lot of energy has been spent avoiding the actual issue that seems to be the causality for the whole situation in the first place.

What I want to know, and I’m sure the rest of the city wants to know is, what happened to the bushfire money and why was GEST kicked out of the council building?

Spare us the smoke and mirrors and safe spaces and give us the answers.

Restrictions lead to a different Anzac Day

THE Express had amazing coverage of all the 2022 Anzac Day marches and remembrance services around the Valley.

Observing all the represented people throughout the community I was saddened and upset that members of our volunteer CFA brigade could not show their respect and passion, for the Anzacs, living and passed.

It has been an honour for our volunteers to march on Anzac Day, remembering our diggers living and passed.

Many, many restrictions have been in place over the last couple of years due to COVID. The Chief Officer of the CFA along with medical advice made it mandatory that every CFA volunteer had to be triple vaxxed to march on Anzac Day, whereby the government on April 22 at 11.59pm eased restrictions on presenting vaccination status, on entering clubs, sporting arenas, function centres and hotels, allowing the community to be free for many occasions.

For many decades it has been an honour to represent and serve our community.

We came to terms with not being able to attend our CFA volunteer presentation night, after being postponed for two years, and having to be triple vaxxed to attend.

But not being able to clap our volunteers, and showing our respect for the Anzacs was something else.

Especially with members representing their fathers, relatives and those diggers who fought for us.

Build more dams

SINCE the days of Joseph in ancient Egypt, droughts have periodically rationed water and food supplies for humans and wildlife.

Sensible peoples store water, but it is about 40 years since Australians built a big dam – young Aussie engineers have no damn experience.

Even beavers build dams and weirs to provide long-term wetlands and food supplies along rivers.

Dams also moderate floods downstream.

Foolish children and Green politicians think that floods are caused by carbon dioxide, but farmers know that it is La Nina that brings rains and floods to Eastern Australia.

Right now, La Nina floodwater is pouring down rivers like the Herbert, Burdekin, Pioneer, Fitzroy, Dawson, Mary, Maroochy, Condamine, Bremer, Brisbane, Richmond, Clarence, Macleay, Goulburn, Snowy and the mighty Murray-Darling. And our few dams and weirs are now spilling too much water.

But climate cycles will change and El Nino droughts like “Federation” and “Millennium” will come again.

When that happens, we will again find rivers dry, wetlands parched, crops desiccated and water rationed because we did not store enough La Nina water.

Viv Forbes, Washpool, Queensland

Focus on the big picture

DAN Caffrey should be grateful that Australia has leaders like Barnaby Joyce promoting the development of Australia’s natural resources.

The horrific war in Ukraine is a cautionary

tale in that regard, where politically correct European nations now find themselves enfeebled

by Russian energy hegemony as a result of Europe’s refusal to produce its own fossil fuels.

It is no coincidence that the European nation which has taken the strongest stance resisting Russia is Poland, which meets half of its energy needs from its own domestic coal production.

Poland can therefore afford to take robust action against Russia.

By contrast, Germany thumbs its nose at coal and nuclear, and therefore remains hostage to the continuation of Russian supplies of natural gas and oil.

Hence the Germans continue to pay Russia almost 1 billion euros daily - money which Russia uses to fund its brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Demanding an end to Australian fossil fuel production isn’t just economically suicidal, but imperils our national security.

This is why the Greens and the teal-tinged Climate Karens, who do nothing but incessantly demand the destruction of Australia’s key wealth generating industries, are thoroughly unfit to govern in the tumultuous times we live in.

Focussing on the big picture means prioritising national security and economic strength, not delusional and futile attempts to manipulate global temperatures from a room in Canberra.

Nicholas Tam, Traralgon East

Not short on memory.

IN RESPONSE to Tom Bulmer (The Express, 4/5/22), I have to say that after living in Australia for nearly 41 years now there is nothing wrong with my memory.

I know all about Ash Wednesday, Black Saturday, the Kilmore/Mickleham fires and the floods.

Mr Bulmer talks about the ‘swine flu’ in 2009, but the states were never locked down for two years.

He talks about the Federal Minister for Health getting an award, but no mention of the Victorian Health Minister in 2009 who lost control of the pandemic.

His name was Daniel Andrews.

The war in Afghanistan didn’t have the same impact as the current one in Ukraine.

The recent floods, drought and bushfires could all have been avoided had it not been for Labor/ Greens ideology in denying the federal government the opportunity to build new dams thereby reducing floods and drought proofing Australia.

It would have made food a lot cheaper and saved a lot of homes and businesses in the process.

Green ideology is stopping us from removing dead trees and undergrowth resulting in greater fuel loads and more severe fires.

I note that Dan Caffrey says life under Labor was a lot better than the current federal government but was too embarrassed to detail the 17 per cent interest rate that we all paid under Labor.

Dan also failed to mention that Kevin Rudd inherited $45 billion from the previous government and four years later left us $107 billion in debt.

Just like today’s Labor Party, the Rudd/Gillard government made many promises like ‘building the education revolution’, pink bats fiasco, grocery choice, fuel watch, a carbon tax, closed

Riding on the freeway of ... wind

I READ with interest the apology from Jeffrey Glover, but I must confess to feeling sorry for him.

I blame our politicians for cutting scientific education in schools, leaving him ignorant in this subject.

The arguments he puts are pure rubbish, but consistent with somebody with a barrow to push.

For distorted results, pick a very high limit.

EG - the quoted EIA consumption of 28.9kW/day is very high, and equates to a McMansion with a large number of people. (My own is consumption is 5.71 kW/d). At this rate, and paying AGL, the electricity bill would be $4220 per year (or $352/ month). This is not the Australian average.

Wind turbines have evolved over the years, and currently produce a little over six megawatts per day.

For 33 of them, the total output is about 200 MW/d. This is one sixth of the output of the old Hazelwood Power Station.

This is enough to feed nearly 70,000 homes of type chosen for the full 24 hours.

Detractors always say that renewable is not reliable, but this is not so, solar arrays certainly only generate when the sun is out, so need batteries to cover other periods.

Whilst wind only generates power when the wind is blowing, this is almost always.

Having operated a wind system at Glengarry (and monitored it), for a number of years, I know from practical experience that the wind almost always blows.

The generation starts at a wind speed of 1.5 m/s, (just perceptible) and increases to full output at about 6 m/s. (Mild breeze).

Whilst solar cannot be controlled, the wind system can be adjusted according to demand.

This is done by turning the blades out of the wind.

When the blades are parallel to the wind, they do not turn, so no generation occurs, which means the output is effectively controllable from full to zero generation as required.

If the blades rotate too fast, the tips of each break the supersonic sound barrier, and a very loud noise indeed is produced. This is the reason the turbines appear to be just idling along, whereas they are actually generating at full power, and with the tip speed just below supersonic.

As the blade passes the tower, a pulse of noise is produced. This is the noise usually referred to when talking about wind turbines. (Blade passing noise).

Nauru resulting in more boat people coming to Australia, private health and the baby bonus means tested and of course Mediscare to name a few.

In the lead-up to the new millennium, the fear generated in 1999 resulted in people committing suicide because the end of the world was upon us. After midnight nothing happened.

Today that same fear is ‘climate change’.

History has a way of repeating itself so here we go again, more promises, more debt, more floods and more bushfires.

China contributes 30.64 per cent of carbon emissions while Australia contributes 1 per cent.

Is the Australian economy worth destroying for 1 per cent under a Labor/Greens government?

as the passage of time highlights

This effect is well understood and documented.

The interesting thing is that it has a spherical distribution pattern, so the noise decays at the eighth power of distance. (Very quickly).

Of special interest is the fact that, at 1km, the signal is quite hard to detect.

There has been a large amount of research on the effect of this noise on people, but no creditable results have been obtained to date.

It is generally thought that either there is something we don’t understand, or it is a case of imagination or a desire for some other result.

As to the Bald Hills case, this just goes to show the old saying, “the law’s an ass” is quite true.

This is not a case argued on provable scientific fact, (of which there is none!), but rather lawyers playing games.

Consider the similar case of people who live close to a freeway, where the noise is much, much higher.

Should we close the freeway at night? What an absurd thought!

David Tuck, Yallourn North.

Looking for more detail

RE: $48.2 mill-ion article (The Express, 4/5/22).

It says that the energy is “to power the paper mill” I do not get it.

Is the federal government is providing the money to produce power to power a private overseas owned company?

If the power was going into the grid, then it is for everyone’s benefit and the government’s funding makes good sense.

The article also does not mention the energy output size of the plant.

What cost per megawatt is expected?

Being green energy, is it going to be subsidised to make the output cost less than the actual cost.

Like is done now with the wind turbine subsidies. A good article on the surface, but is very shallow to be of any use to educating anybody about the real story. More detail please.

IT’S an electoral fact, over the past decade that many undecided voters and former Democrats have recently voted for the Greens.

The Australian Democrats were a modern political party of commendably high ideals, led by brilliant political talents in Don Chipp OAM and later Natasha Stott Despoja, a genuine third party in Australian politics holding the balance of power in the Senate.

The Greens however are something much less, socially irresponsible, environmentally misleading and obsessively anti-industry, anti-religion, anti-family and disgracefully un-Australian.

Their policies are a bizarre blend of climate misrepresentation and social decadence.

We all remember Greens icon Tim Flannery predicting Polar Ice Caps would melt away, our coastal communities would be under water due to rising seas, our city’s dams would never fill again and we would be reliant on desalination plants for our water.

Yet Cowes, Inverloch and Lakes Entrance are not under water! Today Melbourne’s dams are 84.2 per cent full and every Desalination Plant has been mothballed. He was totally wrong.

None, of the Greens alarmist scares ever came true.

Online comments

NO TRANSITION PLAN IN AGL DEMERGER Anthony Bennett: We have two choices. Either join in and make our area the hub of renewable energy and skills or be left behind and lose out. I know what I’d rather.

Hot topic: Mike Cannon-Brookes’ interview with The Express att ttracted t many online comments during the past week. photograph

Deb Leonard: Our government should be taking the lead and making sure our coal workers have a transition plan to sustainable jobs for the future.

This is why I’m standing for the election - to make sure our community is looked after.

Erny Ernst: It is ONLY the Greens that have called for a just transition for the Valley. Can anyone explain why?

Karin Irene Bicknell: I have recently moved back into the area. This has been a long time coming and there is no excuse for the inaction on the part of one government after another. My parents in 1960 decided that it was time to leave the Valley! Sell their small group of retail shops and move to the city. They had two reasons the first being the rise of chain stores and concern that their successful business may not be able to compete and the other that the Valley was not going to be able to survive without serious diversity in what happened here but all attempts seemed to make no difference.

That was 60 years ago.

Jack Doderico: I find it funny that people go on about power stations all the time but no one says a word about the big flaming crater in Turkmenistan called “the gates of hell” that’s been burning gas for over 50 years continuously. Surely that should be a global priority if they are serious about the climate.

Col Richards: Change is inevitable, even if people don’t want it. I’d really like to see MCB’s plan get going, because the existing jobs at AGL are only temporary and we’ll be wanting something to replace them. He’s putting his money where his mouth is, $660 million worth.

As voters, it’s important to understand a Greens-Labor Renewable Target, won’t affect our climate, it never could.

It will however lighten your wallet and add to your cost of living.

If the voters of the Gippsland-Latrobe Valley want to safeguard power generation jobs and stop the premature closure of Yallourn Power Station, please put the Greens-Labor candidates last on your ballot papers, when allocating preferences.

Tom Quinn, Liberal supporter, Moe

Focus on infrastructure

I READ with interest the large advertisement in a recent edition of The Express placed by AusNet regarding transmission infrastructure to transport energy from the Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone to the grid.

It all sounds great, but there is no mention of the plan that the transmission line will be overhead, that there will be unsightly 85m

52 Hazelwood Road Morwell 5134 3449 www.morwellbowls.com.au

Joan Thorburn: We still have so many ex Hazelwood and Carter Holt men and women who are now our long term unemployed. I’m all for moving to cleaner energy, but let’s employ these workers to construct this cleaner energy.

Mark Williams: MCB. We should be replacing those coal-fired plants for nuclear.

Kevin Curran: Anyone know what’s going to be replacing the capacity of electricity our population requires? Solar, wind and other renewable forms.

Unfortunately, the sun don’t shine all day, every day. It’s all talk about wind farms and solar power.

Where are they going? Where

transmission towers, that there will be a 100m wide easement requiring removal of native and plantation vegetation, that the easement will cause major ongoing disruption to farming operations and that there will be a terrible scar on the landscape.

I also note in the ad that the proposed AusNet infrastructure will mean that renewable energy developers won’t have to construct their own transmission infrastructure – what a shame; one developer, Star of the South, is constructing their transmission infrastructure underground which I believe is what the community would prefer.

Peter Jennings, Sale

Highway work taking shape

I WRITE to thank the community for its patience throughout the ongoing works for the duplication of the Princes Highway to Sale.

The project has been in its third and final stage for almost 12 months now and I know that we are all looking forward to a safer and

are the figures? Money needed?

Government’s contribution? The estimated money coming out of the public’s pocket? What’s it going to cost us? Empty coal mines? Mines ideal for dumping waste. Then there is the exact job replacements for next few decades. Power stations don’t take 20 years to pull down. Where are we going to dump the used solar panels, batteries and wind turbines? I hope the government has come up with plans with all this. It all seems to be about closing down coal fired power stations & reducing our carbon admissions. I am totally for the closers, but where are all the long-term figures. Has the government got a clue like the rest of us? It will be interesting transition for those who witness it.

Andy Churchill: The only just transition is an equal amount of well paid jobs being created to cover Yallourn, Loy Yang and their associated industries. Mike Cannon Brookes hasn’t provided any evidence as to where these are coming from. Renewables do not create ongoing jobs in large numbers. The obvious solution is Hydrogen which, is carbon neutral and has successfully been produced and shipped from the Latrobe Valley.

Lauren Krell: AGL Australia, you better not stuff this up.You owe the people of the Valley, a just transition.

easier journey between Sale and Traralgon.

Those who have travelled the highway in recent days will have noticed that traffic is now directed onto the new sections of highway at Flynn and Kilmany will follow in the next few months while construction workers begin safely reconstructing the existing sections of Princes Highway in these areas.

Bridge works will be completed offline so as to minimise disruption to road and train users.

It is wonderful to see this project edging toward completion.

I must also thank my federal colleague, Darren Chester for not only providing 80 per cent of the funding in the federal budget four years ago but extending that despite the state government’s continued delays in bringing their share of the money to the table for this final stage of the duplication.

Central Gippsland is a great place to live, work and raise a family and this duplication will help make it even better.

Getting To Know You

G2KU meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month (excluding public holidays) at 3pm at the Churchill Neighbourhood Centre, 9-11 Phillip Street, Churchill.

Phone 5120 3850 for meeting dates and more information.

Getting to Know You (G2KU) is a group of people from around Churchill who like to meet and do social activities as well as have a bit of a laugh.

We know that sometimes people without extended family and friends nearby who drop in a few times a week or so can feel very lonely.

They may find some days seem very long and difficult to handle and that there is no one who cares about them.

We aim to provide a place where people with similar interests can meet and get to know others in their community and take part in activities that are not physically taxing.

Getting together with others helps to keep us physically active, keeps the brain working well and makes life in general more interesting.

Mother’s Day celebration All smiles: Jenna and mum.

Top morning: Mum and Denzel.

SACRED Heart students shared an afternoon tea to celebrate Mother’s Day with the special women in their lives.

They invited their mothers, grandmas, aunties and carers.

The children had the opportunity to serve their guests with refreshments and afternoon tea.

The afternoon was also filled with a variety of activities, where

students gave their special lady a hand massage and they shared a beading making activity.

This day also allowed the students to perform a number of songs themed around Mother’s Day for the guests as part of the entertainment.

At the end of the event, the Mother’s Day raffle was drawn and announced.

Family matters: Jakzon, mum and Sakura.

Three generations: Nan, Aleksja and mum.

Hot times a highlight for the Harriers ATHLETICS TRARALGON HARRIERS

By MILES VERSCHUUR

THE Traralgon Harriers had a need for speed on Thursday night, as 50 runners, walkers and joggers completed a 5km three-lap course at Rangeview Drive.

With more favourable, balmy conditions, some seriously quick times were recorded.

Karen Graham dominated the women’s section, clocking a time of 20.50, over two minutes ahead of Liz Kenney (23.09) and Amanda Reid 23.12.

In the men, the pace was hot from the starting gun, with Community Fun Run victor Zack Beasley leading to record the fastest time of the night in 17.20.

Not far behind him continued the battle between Ian Cornthwaite, Glenn Graham, and Miles Verschuur.

A fast-finishing Graham ran in with 17.48, with Verschuur in third in 17.54, only just ahead of Cornthwaite in 17.57.

Also impressive on the night was new Harriers youngster, Dempsey Podmore, who raced around the circuit to finish in 19.16.

Overall, seven Harriers dipped below the 20-minute mark for 5km, an impressive achievement.

Further back in the field, was one of the fiercest contests of the race, with husband-and-wife Ian and Belinda Heafield overtaking each other numerous times.

It was Ian, however, who ultimately gained bragging rights (31.15) over Belinda (32.37).

The 55th WIN Network Traralgon Marathon is on June 5, with 42.195, 21.1 and 10km options.

Entry numbers are capped and selling out fast, get your entry in now!

Swimmers produce sensational performances

SWIMMING

THIRTEEN swimmers from the Traralgon Swimming Club returned from the Australian Age Swimming Championships in Adelaide with a number of medals, top 10 finishes and numerous finals.

The championships are the highest level of competition for 13 to 17 years olds in Australia and to compete requires swimmers to achieve national qualifying standards throughout the season.

Churchill 16-year-old Kayla Wilson was the standout with 10 top 10 finishes in her S7 classification Multi Class events, finishing with one gold, two silver and one bronze medal.

The gold medal in the 50 metre breaststroke event was an outstanding swim with Kayla

swimming a personal best by over a second (49.70).

Silvers in the 50m freestyle (36.80) and 100m breaststroke (1.49.35) were complemented by her bronze in the 200m individual medley (3.31.24).

Following her outstanding performances Kayla was selected for the Australian Paralympic Pathways Development squad targeting Paris 2024 and beyond. She will now be invited to three camps around Australia over the next 12 months focussing on building her fitness and skills.

Four additional swimmers finished in the top 10 in Australia for their events. Molly Cargill (16) made three finals in the 50m and 100m backstroke and 50m butterfly.

Multi class swimmer Lockie Bellion (14) qualified in the 50m and 100m breaststroke and 100m backstroke and 15-year-old Ash Nicholes

finished fifth in both the 50m and 100m freestyle events.

In some events swimmers were rewarded with another finals swim for qualifying in the top 20.

These B final events were swum by 15-year old Olivia Baillie (50m backstroke), 17-year-old Jordyn Cargill (100m backstroke) and another

by Ash Nicholes (100m breaststroke).

Traralgon Swimming Club head performance coach Dean Gooch, who accompanied the team to Adelaide, was pleased with the results.

“Another nationals, another terrific performance from the swimmers,” he said.

“From the 61 events contested by our 13 swimmers we had 32 personal best times, four new swimmers made their first ever final and for the 22nd year in succession we have had Traralgon swimmers medal at this event - an

amazing achievement. Given the shortened COVID year we have had I couldn’t be more proud of the performances.”

Other Traralgon swimmers who competed at the meet were Emily Auteri (50m free), Joel Baillie (100m free, 100m fly, 200m medley), Josh Dwyer (200m free, 400m free, 50m back), Kayla Pratt (50m free, 100m free), Abby Warner (50m fly) and Eliza Watts (200m breaststroke).

Vice-captain Will Pendergast also joined the team as a relay swimmer.

Traralgon Swimming Club is now preparing for the new season with training commencing for all squads.

Any people interested in swimming are encouraged to phone Traralgon’s senior head coach Brian Ford on 0419 584 145.

Close finishes the order of day in Mid Gippsland FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

By ROB POPPLESTONE

IT’S been said before and there is little doubt it will be said several times before the end of the season - the evenness of the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League competition at the moment is drawing more interest, and is attracting bigger crowds, all while making every single game crucial for clubs.  NEWBOROUGH v BOOLARRA THIS mouth-watering clash was not for the faint hearted.

Two of the big improvers of the 2022 competition would not, did not and could not take a short step at any stage if it was to truly say they gave all they had in their quest to not only take the points on the weekend gone but to also start to emerge as a genuine contender.

Both clubs are not yet firing at full power but are showing that no side in the league is safe from what they are capable of doing.

On this occasion it was the Bulldogs that won 9.12 (66) to 7.8 (50), a result that for a lot of the afternoon appeared to be going the opposite way.

Newborough coach Craig Skinner said his team showed good spirit at home.

“We saw both sides control the game for long periods of time with contested football making goals hard to come by,” he said.

“Both sides have changed for the better over the summer and will keep improving over winter, great to see our young group come from behind and bounce back after two tough weeks away.”

Newborough’s Patrick Charles received the Rod Taylor medal for best on ground voted by both coaches.

Boolarra coach Tony Giardina said the side didn’t capitalise.

“Our start was good until half-time, missed opportunities could have made the scoreboard look a lot better, but in the third quarter we lost our way and Newborough lifted and made us look silly and just like that the game was taken away from us,” he said.  FOSTER v YINNAR LEADING into Round 5, sitting ninth and seventh on the ladder, these two teams are a perfect example of sides that could finish anywhere from top three to bottom three depending on a series of fortuitous wins or conversely, a number of unfortunate losses.

On the weekend, it was a confident Tigers at home coming off a win over Newborough confronted by a Magpies side desperate to bounce back into the winners circle after a most disappointing loss at the hands of Stony Creek.

The home side, with their radar in place almost perfect in front of goals, proved to be the difference, winning 10.1 (61) to 7.7 (49).

Foster coach Sam Davies said the game was a genuine arm wrestle.

“It was a tough win against good opposition who really challenged us and were on top for half the game, a really important win in such an even competition,” he said.

It’s a win that now puts Yinnar on the back foot and with some work to do before they can gather some momentum moving forward.

Yinnar coach Daniel Taylor said his side would look to bounce back.

“It was a tough day, to Foster’s credit they had the game on their terms, we got to work throughout the second and third quarters and felt like we were the better side, but we were still unable to play our brand, and one undisciplined act late in the third quarter changed the momentum for the rest of the game,” he said.

“We’re just not good enough for long enough at the moment which is disappointing.”  MDU v HILL END MDU had been keen to return to their home ground and show a healthy home crowd what they were capable of against one of the better sides in the competition.

Just seven days earlier the Demons had given a start to Mirboo North and fallen just four points short after chasing hard for most of the day.

This week the plan was to put pressure on the visitors from the first bounce and try to keep them at arm’s length for the afternoon and that is exactly what happened, with MDU edging out Hill End 6.7 (43) to 5.12 (42).

In a game that could be season defining for the Demons, winning coach Peter Harris said he was proud of his team.

“It was a cracking contested game of football from both sides, our boys stuck to our game plan and were then able to execute it in the last half, it was nice to finally be on the right side of a close one,” he said.

Preseason premiership favourites, Hill End realise that this season is as tough as it gets, and playing your best football sometimes isn’t enough, somewhere, somehow, clubs are going to have to find more than they currently have.

Hill End coach Mike Santo said the team needed to string four quarters together.

“We played some superb footy early and then believed we were better than we were,” he said.

“Credit to Peter and his side they had a game plan and beat us the next three quarters, they spread well from stoppages and took away our strengths and they deserved the win, our inaccuracy and lack of discipline is becoming a real issue for us, hopefully it’s a wake-up call.”  MIRBOO NORTH v FISH CREEK A SLIP up, even at this early stage of the year, starts to extend the gap between those in the five and those out by that little bit more and then comes a stage where the gap is just too far to bridge.

With that in mind, Mirboo North, after a slow start to the season, were committed to stay in touch by claiming their second victory of the season in just as many weeks.

The Tigers don’t appear to like doing anything easy, and won by less than a kick, 10.3 (63) to 9.6 (60).

Mirboo North coach Josh Taylor said it was good to bank the four points.

“Another tough game, character building for the group, Fish Creek both times we have played them over the past two years have been hard at it and very tough, good to get through the game with a win,” he said.

Fish Creek counterpart John Danckert was left to think what might have been.

“Thought we were really competitive again around the footy, we are getting plenty of opportunities to score, if we kick straighter we are maybe four wins and one loss,” he said.

“Injuries again are an issue, but we’re not on our own there, effort and application is there we just simply need a win.”

Even after two close losses in a row, Fish Creek still sit above the Tigers on the table by percentage, but now must prepare for a clash with the top of the ladder and unbeaten Tarwin side, a match from which a win can put the Kangaroo’s season back on track.

The Tigers might still find themselves third from the bottom on the ladder, but they are showing all the signs of a side that is destined to climb their way much higher in the weeks ahead.  STONY CREEK v MORWELL EAST THE Lions returned to their home ground just seven days after taking the scalp of a finals contender in Yinnar on the Magpies home ground.

Their weekend clash against a bird of another kind in the Hawks was going to be every bit as tough as any this year.

Morwell East, after an early season stumble, had already shown improvement was on its way, but at various times their coach had been frustrated with what he saw his side do and what he knew his side was capable of doing.

The Hawks ended up winning a low scoring slog 5.10 (40) to 4.9 (33).

Morwell East coach Devon Soutar labelled it a result that was satisfying but still a way off where they wanted to be.

“It was a real grind in the first half with an inability to complete the play going forward and our turnovers fuelling opposition opportunities,” he said.

“We were able to break away in the third and that breathing room allowed us to control the game and speed in the closing stages.”

For Stony Creek, after some very clear improvement this season, the loss put a stop to real momentum.

Stony Creek coach Jay Accardi conceded they were beaten by a better team.

“We were pretty much outplayed, outworked and out coached by Morwell East,” he said.

“At times we worked our butts off to get the ball and then we handed it straight back to them with either poor disposal or poor decision making, there is plenty to work on.”  TARWIN v THORPDALE UNBEATEN, on top of the ladder and at home, the Sharks strolled into the weekend confident another win was on its way.

Tarwin is just one of a handful of clubs slowly making the improvements necessary to have success both on and off the field, and it was also keen on not letting Thorpdale stand in the way of what they wanted to achieve.

The Sharks recorded a comfortable win 26.12 (168) to 6.9 (45).

The Sharks actually trailed at quarter time before they really turned on the afterburners, kicking 10 goals in the second quarter, eight in the third and finishing the game off with six more in the last, in a truly dominating performance.

Tarwin coach Troy Hemming said it was a good all round performance from his side.

“It was a great team effort from the boys, everyone played their role and they all had a smile on their face,” he said.

Thorpdale it seems still have some work to do, although in fairness illness has severely affected their preparations in the last few weeks.

The Blues had to cancel training on the Tuesday leading into the Round 3 game against Morwell East after three quarters of the senior team got sick, while they were left without a coach last Saturday after Ray Pickering came down with COVID the day before.

Something unfortunate was bound to happen on a date reading Friday the 13th, and sure enough it did.

Jason Winderlich took the coaching reigns last Saturday and kicked two goals, and was assisted by the man known as ‘The Wizard’ Garry Edwards.

TOORA had the bye.

Jets grounded by superb performance by Cougars FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By SCOTT BERECHREE

REBOUNDING off their worst performance of the 2022 season, Churchill put an end to Yallourn Yallourn North’s winning streak in Round 6 of the North Gippsland FootballNetball League with a stirring 13-point victory at Gaskin Park.

The Cougars won 14.11 (95) to 11.16 (82).

A six goal to two opening salvo saw the home side take an even four goal lead into the first break.

It was all Churchill early with goals to Ben Kearns and Ben Skinner setting the tone before the Jets finally hit the scoreboard at the 22 minute mark through Josh Keyhoe.

A follow up major to Keenan Hughes saw the Cougars lead reduced to three goals after 26 minutes of play.

Seemingly content to take that margin into the break, Jets coach Barrie Burnett released key forwards Hughes and Mitch Luck to play behind the ball for the remainder of the term.

A piercing pass from best on ground Chris Williams however dissected the eight man Jet defence and found makeshift forward Chris Wangman 30 metres out directly in front. Wangman kicked truly and registered the first of his four for the day to end the opening quarter.

Churchill looked to have their match-ups on the money with co-coach Jordan Fenech tasked with stopping YYN goal kicking machine Dean MacDonald, Kurt Holt going with Hughes and Bailey Flanigan on Luck.

When Holt went down however with what looked to be a quad injury a shuffle up was required. Flanigan switched from Luck to Hughes with Churchill co-captain Angus Mitchell now having the job with keeping up with Luck as the second quarter got underway.

This opened things up for the visitors, however if bad kicking for goal is bad footy the Jets were guilty as charged in a second term littered with wasted chances. Tindarra Hood and MacDonald both missed gettable chances early before James De Virgilio finally found the big sticks for the Jets 10 minutes in.

This goal was quickly countered by one to Churchill through Brendan Holt who had been well held by Darcy Shelcott to this point in time. It was a much needed settler for the Cougars as the Jets were far from finished with their frustrating forward forays.

A miss to Bath on the run was followed by one from Burnett with a set shot, then it was Hughes’ turn as he missed a pair of chances.

Nothing was going the way of the Jets.

And then, as if to rub their noses in it, Jake Roe-Duggan - who was a close second in the best on ground stakes - kicked an absolute ripper from the boundary for Churchill.

After having been called to play on from a set shot hard up on the boundary, RoeDuggan got around the man on the mark, then, with pressure coming from inside he

had to reel back to the boundary. With a tackler imminent Roe-Duggan threw the ball on to his foot and watched the ball work from right to left like a Mitchell Johnson in-swinger and from the tightest of angels he sent the boys in the bar into raptures.

As the half-time siren sounded to end a quarter in which the visiting side had dominated play their efforts amounted to a single goal, eight behinds with two further shots ending up out on the full. For all their opportunity they had reduced their quarter time margin by only a solitary behind to 23 points.

The third term started with each side trading goals before Hughes went back-to-back at the 11 and 12 minute mark to get the Jets within two goals. Hughes’ second goal was utterly remarkable. He contested the ruck stoppage 20 metres out from goal.

The non-controlling umpire blew a free kick so Hughes threw his left slipper at the ball mid-air, striking it perfectly and sending the ball directly through the middle of the big sticks. Advantage was called, the goal registered and the away side, players and fans, were up and about.

Not to be outdone, Cain Iorangi kicked a classic at the other end and as the three quarter time siren sounded the Jets were within 16 points and all present were in agreement - it was absolutely game on.

As if spurred by the challenge it was all Churchill to start the last.

While Roe-Duggan’s opening goal was countered by Hood’s second for the day, when Wangman kicked his fourth for the game the home side’s spectators could surely breathe a little easier.

And when Brendan Holt had the chance to extend the lead beyond four goals at the seven minute mark it was surely time to break out the winner’s beers. Alas his shot sailed wide and there was still the faintest of hopes for the travelling ladder leaders.

And when Todd Rowe, he of the long sleeves and sizzling left foot, went back-to-back for the Jets at the 24 minute mark the hope was no longer faint, it was real. The margin was under two goals and what had looked to be a game won two or three times was now again anyone’s.

The final act of an outstanding game typified the previous 120 or so minutes. New Cougar Nick Twomey took a pass around 60 metres from Churchill’s goal. He ran and carried the ball inside 50 and as his shot sailed through from 40 he was swamped by teammates and this time the game was won. Finally.

THE return of their Tiwi Island interlopers and that of Chris Long to the park for his first game since Round 1 was not enough to get a gallant Gormandale over the line in their clash with Sale City.

In a pulsating match that saw the lead change three times in last two minutes, the Bulldogs prevailed by five points 9.14 (68) to 9.9 (63).

When Dion Munkara put the Tigers ahead with less than 120 seconds on the clock it

looked as though the home side was in for win number two for the season.

However, despite the best efforts of key defender Kodie Owen who chalked up best on ground number three in a row, Sale City was able to muster one last shot on goal. And when they kicked truly with only 45 seconds left the game was theirs for the keeping.

An honourable loss for a club that must surely be sick to the back teeth of them and an important win to Sale City to keep their finals hopes alive.

Blake Safstrom and Ben Chivers were best for the victors.

HAVING broken their maiden last week hopes were high for Glengarry to repeat when they welcomed a winless Heyfield to town.

And when the home side led by 14 points at the last break in a low scoring contest it seemed almost a given the Magpies would be celebrating two on the trot.

A last quarter surge from the Kangaroos however saw them kick 3.4 (22) to a solitary point and the monkey was off their back, as they claimed a 7.11 (53) to 6.10 (46) victory.

Jesse Bedggood and Xavier Woodland managed two apiece for the winners while young gun Tyson Birss and the ever reliable Adam Wallace were the best performers.

Spencer Poulton and Jackson Hall were best for Glengarry.

THE Heyfield win leaves Cowwarr the only side yet to register a victory, and sadly for the Saints their clash with Woodside was all, but over after they conceded eight first quarter goals at home.

The Saints toiled manfully from the first break onwards managing a respectable six goals to 14 across the final three terms.

Woodside recruit Lee Stockdale took no time endearing himself to his new club with a best on ground performance.

Stockdale was lively all over the ground and rounded out his game with three majors. Dave Waddell and Daniel Missen managed six and four apiece with the silver fox, Woodside coach Michael Duncan, also slotting three.

The only downside for Woodside was an early shower for Will Broadbent who must be in doubt for this week’s clash with Churchill.

Robbie Ferguson showed his class for the Saints with four majors. Shane Morgan too managed multiples, snagging a pair of goals, but it was an all too familiar scoreline for the Warr who lost 22.11 (143) to 7.5 (47).

YARRAM easily accounted for Rosedale in their clash, winning 13.14 (92) to 7.8 (50).

Corbin Sutherland was again among the goals for the Demons, kicking five for the home side.

Yarram is starting to build a side that looks more and more capable of competing at the pointy end of the season as each week passes.

Inaccuracy in front of goal prevented the Demons from a larger winning margin than the even seven goals they saluted by.

Riley Atlee and Frazar Brouns put in honest efforts for Rosedale.

Maroons’’ marvellous win FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

ROUND 6 added to the intrigue of the Gippsland League, as a number of teams secured wins of major significance.

Traralgon and Sale solidified their credentials, both getting up over fellow top five sides, while Bairnsdale got off the bottom of the ladder after nabbing its maiden victory for the season.

With another passing week however there was one constant, as Leongatha put another opponent to the sword.

The Parrots remain the only unbeaten team, and even at this early stage of the season, there is an undeniable sense 2022 will be a case of five clubs fighting for the right to play Leongatha in the grand final.

TRARALGON had a number of reasons to celebrate after defeating Wonthaggi.

Not only did the Maroons prevail in a four point thriller, they were able to do so on their home ground for the first time since last year’s devastating flood.

By sheer coincidence, Saturday marked exactly one year since Traralgon had played a match for premiership points at home.

There has been no shortage of activity and discussion about the Traralgon Recreation Reserve in the 365 days in between, but most of this was surely forgotten as those wearing the maroon and white rejoiced in the homecoming.

The Maroons led at every change against the Power, eventually holding on to win 9.11 (65) to 8.13 (61).

Traralgon led by 10 points at threequarter time, and survived a late scare from Wonthaggi after the Power hit the lead late in the day.

With injured playing coach Jake Best watching on, the Maroons other big names stood up. Ball magnet Mark Collison was best on, along with fellow midfielder Tom Schneider.

Luis D’Angelo kicked two goals, as did Brett Eddy and captain Dylan Loprese.

Mitch Membrey played arguably his best senior game for Traralgon, along with Tom McMahon and Hugh Dunbar.

Traralgon youngster Josh Hamilton made his senior debut, in what was a family affair alongside brother Tom and dad Troy who is serving as an assistant coach.

Best for Wonthaggi was Mitch Hayes, Jordan Staley and Lochlan Scott, while Jarryd Blair returned for the first time in a number of weeks, although younger brother Jack was a late withdrawal.

The win put an indifferent week for the Maroons to rest, following a somewhat shock loss to Warragul in the previous round.

Traralgon’s results to date have them looking very much like an ‘on their day’ side. That is, one that can defeat any opponent if they perform somewhere near their optimum.

Best has been confident the Maroons system stacks up, and on the evidence so far there is nothing to suggest that isn’t the case.

Of Traralgon’s three losses, two have been against top five sides by under 10 points, and now that they have beaten Wonthaggi, their standing in the competition is only strengthened.

SALE was too big, too strong and ultimately too good for Moe. The Magpies won a physical encounter at Ted Summerton Reserve by 12 points, 10.13 (73) to 8.13 (61).

Sale has now won four games in succession after copping the toughest draw to start the season, facing premiership fancies Wonthaggi and Leongatha in the first two weeks.

Conversely, it was Moe’s first major test and loss for the season, after the Lions had admittedly been given a pretty soft draw in the first five weeks, winning games against four of the current bottom five teams, as well as a genuine ‘get out of jail’ effort against Traralgon a fortnight ago.

A tight contest ensued in the first half at Ted Summerton, as the game basically became a battle of defences.

Sale key defender Will Leslie had the job on league leading goal kicker Harry Pepper, while at the other end, Moe playing-coach Declan Keilty repelled many a forward entry from the Magpies.

At half-time, the margin was just one point, and given the greasy conditions, the match had the makings of one that was going to go down to the wire.

Come three-quarter time, Sale had taken a five-point lead after kicking three goals to two.

Some long range set shots by respective leaders in Sale senior coach Jack Johnstone and Moe captain Jacob Wood provided a lift to their side, while the physicality was also

Johnstone appeared animated as he addressed his troops at the last change, urging them for 30 more minutes of effort.

A short distance away, Moe took a calmer approach, believing that if they could manage two goals in the conditions and tidy up in defence, it might prove to be enough.

Sale started on top in the final term, kicking the first three goals to stretch its lead.

A left foot snap by Jarrod Freeman at the 19 minute mark took the margin out to four goals, silencing the parochial Moe Can Bar, who were ready to concede defeat there and then.

A nice little give by Lions ruckman Ben Morrow to Trent Baldi set up a goal to Matt Barrand at the 23 minute mark which cut the margin back to 19 points and kept things interesting, but it proved to be too little, too late.

Will Leslie was judged best on ground for Sale, along with Mitch Thacker, Jack Leslie, Nathan Whitford, Pat Tainsh and Jayden Allison in his 100th match.

The milestone took the Allison tally to 559 Gippsland League games. His father Dave played 209 and uncle Steve 250 games for Morwell.

Leslie’s counterpart Keilty was a clear best on ground for Moe. It would be no exaggeration to say the Lions would have lost by at least five goals if he didn’t play.

The more one watches Keilty the more one can’t help but think ‘how did he only play two games for Melbourne?’

Wood, Barrand, Baldi, James Blaser and Brock Smith were others to put in determined efforts.

Winning coach Johnstone said it was a solid performance from his side.

“I was really happy with our pressure, it was probably something that has dropped off the last few weeks so to get that back up to where we wanted against a really good side was really pleasing,” he said.

“Friday was a ‘fun’ day. We lost a couple through illness, Brad Dessent has been nursing a couple of injuries so we thought it best to give him a week and then we lost Pendles (Ryan Pendlebury) pretty early as well.

“It put a bit of strain on the backline but the back six today were fantastic, they helped each other and I was really happy with how the guys lifted under adversity.

“Leslie (Jack) had to play a bit more in ruck with Brad going out, we had to try and mix it up. Les is one of those players, I wish I had three more of him. He went through the ruck, played a little bit back, little bit forward, he is a top tier player and played really well.

“Our depth is good this year, our twos are winning games of footy which they didn’t last year. The energy around the club is awesome at the moment and when you have both teams winning it makes it so much more enjoyable.

“We were able to lose a few and just bring the next guy in. Tommy Campbell replaced Kane Martin and kicked two goals in a forward pocket, it is good to have that luxury of guys and that depth which we didn’t really have last year.”

Martin missed the game through off-shore work commitments, while Pendlebury sat out the second half, taking a cautious approach to a hamstring issue.

Johnstone paid particular credit to the work Will Leslie did on keeping Pepper goalless.

“Will is someone you would hate to play on,” he said.

“He is really good in the air and once the

ball is on the ground he’s super fast. He had a big job today, Pepper has been the in-form forward of the comp and I think Will did a really good job on him and was a big reason why we won.”

Allison capped off his milestone match with a goal, much to the delight of his coach.

“Jayden is our vice-captain, he was voted by the boys and just wears his heart on his sleeve,” he said.

“We were super happy to get the win for him.”

In determining where the game was won and lost, an aspect that stood out was how much cleaner Sale was by hand in close. The Magpies appeared to be playing with a dry ball at times as they flicked one and two handballs around the contest before getting out in space.

The sheer size of some of Sale’s players also stood out, with many either over six foot or in the classic ‘big bodied’ mould, making them a difficult team for a fairly undersized Moe to match up on. Without stating the obvious - big blokes don’t get any smaller and tall blokes don’t get any shorter.

For Moe, a 12-point loss against an opposition boasting the likes of Shannen Lange (over 100 VFL games), Pendlebury (over 100 VFL games) and Johnstone (50 VFL games) wasn’t a performance to send too many alarm bells ringing.

Arguably the most telling difference between the sides was not so much on the field, but off.

Sale had as many as four assistant coaches on the sidelines - Moe had one.

MAFFRA won a tight contest against Morwell.

The Eagles withstood a persistent Tiger outfit to win by 11 points, 11.11 (77) to 9.12 (66).

Maffra jumped out of the blocks in the first quarter at home, kicking five goals to one.

From there, Morwell edged its way back into the game, but the Eagles were always able to maintain a lead of around two to three goals.

Maffra led by 17 points with one quarter to play, and got through after both sides kicked four goals in the final term.

Morwell had chances to pinch the game, but had to lament scoring 4.7 in the last 20 minutes.

The win gave the Eagles their third for 2022, and keeps them within touching distance of the top five.

Alex Carr kicked three goals in a best on ground performance, as did Daniel Bedggood who was also among the most prominent Maffra players. The experienced duo of Danny Butcher and Kade Renooy played well, while Tom Jolly was serviceable and Hudson Holmes continued his good start to the season.

Brandon McDonald kicked four goals for Morwell to be named best, and received good support from Brandon McAuliffe, Dan Musil, and Zac Carlson.

ELSEWHERE, Bairnsdale consigned Drouin to the foot of the ladder after winning 19.11 (125) to 10.10 (70).

The Redlegs travelled to Drouin and saw playing coach Logan Austin kick six goals.

Fellow former AFL player Jed Lamb also kicked six goals for Warragul in what was a somewhat bizarre performance against Leongatha.

Lamb kicked all six of the Gulls’ goals, but it was nowhere near enough as they went down 16.13 (109) to 6.5 (41).

His effort did however set a new record, as never before had a Gippsland League player kicked as many as six goals to make up the entire complement scored by a team.

Tigers extend unbeaten run NETBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

By LIAM DURKIN

MORWELL has maintained outright first spot on the Gippsland League A Grade netball ladder.

The Tigers are still unbeaten after six rounds, with their latest victim being Maffra.

Morwell was too strong for the Eagles, winning 56 to 30 on the road.

A solid second half performance saw the visitors to victory, and they will now look at taking care of Wonthaggi this Saturday.

Traralgon had an important win in the context of its season, defeating Wonthaggi by 10 goals.

Heading into the match eight points adrift of the fifth-placed Power, Traralgon needed to win to make the task of qualifying for finals all the more easier.

The Maroons celebrated being back on their home court for the first time in 12 months, and appropriately, were able to make it a double celebration on Ladies Day for the club.

Best for Traralgon was Sophie Lecchino, Amy Harrison and Stacey Jacobsen. Jess McRae played well for Wonthaggi.

Traralgon now gets to play the bottom two sides in Bairnsdale and Sale across the next fortnight, which should put it in reasonable shape come the halfway point of the season.

Moe was never troubled by Sale.

The Lions won in a canter 74 to 27.

Macy Gardiner was best on court for the Lions, who gave their percentage a decent boost.

Moe sits third on the ladder and will face a litmus test this Saturday when it travels to Drouin to take on a side equal on points.

The Hawks had little trouble accounting for Bairnsdale last week, and won 52 to 28, while Leongatha had a similarly easy win over Warragul to the tune of 33 goals.

MIRBOO North went equal with Toora on points at the top of the ladder after Round 5 of Mid Gippsland A Grade netball.

The Tigers demolished Fish Creek by 36 goals to take their ledger to five wins from five starts.

Best for the winners were Charlie Bickerton, Linc Chila and Amy Conlan.

Toora had the bye, but thanks to a whopping percentage, was able to stay in first place.

Yinnar also added to its percentage, courtesy of a 63 to 19 blitzing of Foster.

The Magpies are fourth, having dropped just the one game, and are still looking every bit the strong side they were last season.

Morwell East is one spot above Yinnar, and made sure their place was cemented after creaming Stony Creek.

The Hawks showed absolutely no mercy, winning 86 to 6.

Maddy Burney was best on court, in what was a field day for those under the ring.

Newborough had a determined win over Boolarra.

The Bulldogs broke away to win by 10 goals, 53 to 43, with Charlize Bird, Demi Caldow and Caitlin Demczuk prominent in the victory.

Newborough is now only a game outside the top five, and will face a good challenge to prove themselves when they play Morwell East away from home this Saturday.

Hill End got the job done against MDU, winning 39 to 17. Emma Grunwald and Jessica Baillie were best on for the Rovers.

Thorpdale was beaten by Tarwin 52 to 39.

Jets’ upset the talk of North Gippsland NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

By LIAM DURKIN

YALLOURN Yallourn North provided the biggest talking point in Round 6 of North Gippsland netball.

The Jets defeated a highly fancied Churchill 40 to 27, making it arguably their best win as a North Gippsland club.

Playing at home, YYN could not be faltered, and took the points thanks some great efforts from

Shellby Carr and Samira Heffernan. Sale City gave its percentage a good boost after defeating Gormandale by 40 goals, and is now second on the table.

Woodside remains outright first on 20 points, and easily accounted for Cowwarr last Saturday, winning by 34 goals.

Glengarry is also setting a good pace and it is nipping at the heels of the Wildcats and Bulldogs.

The Magpies overcame a determined Heyfield outfit to win by 10 goals, and keep their position inside the top three.

Rosedale and Yarram played out the closest

match, and it was the Blues who got up in a one goal thriller.

Spectators were left biting their nails as the game played out, with the final whistle setting off a huge sigh of relief for those wearing the Rosedale colours.

The win was very important for the Blues’ season, as they are now equal with Yarram on points.

Rosedale and Yarram make up a logjam of teams on 12 points, along with Churchill and Cowwarr taking places from four to seven on the ladder.

Traralgon Tyers United had the bye and will face a YYN side full of confidence this Saturday.

Tough weekend

Bocce Nationals heading to Morwell next month

SOCCER GIPPSLAND FC

GIPPSLAND FC had four junior teams in action at the weekend.

UNDER-13

THE Under-13s travelled to Glen Eira for their Round 4 fixture.

Similar to the previous away fixture they were scheduled to play on a pitch that was more suited to Under-9s than Under-13s.

This led to a rather untidy game of football for both teams.

Gippsland attacked for much of the early part of the game however couldn’t produce the quality required in the final third and when they did the Glen Eira keeper proved hard to pass.

Cristian Guarascio came to the team’s rescue with a host of saves through the day.

Gippsland went 1-0 up through a Maurice Baldacchino strike that took a kind deflection, however Glen Eira equalised to go to the break at 1-1.

The second-half was full of near misses and desperate defending by both teams however Glen Eira managed to get the winner late in the game to finish 2-1 winners.

UNDER-15

THE Gippsland Under-15s made the trek to Ringwood to play the seventh place team.

It was a great battle from the first whistle with both teams coming out strong.

It was quite some time before Ringwood managed to make their way through the Gippsland backline and find the back of the net to take the lead at 1-0.

Gippsland quickly responded with a magnificent goal from Jesse Dugard but a quick thinking header then took the Gippsland boys by surprise shortly after to bring the score to 2-1 going into the half-time break.

The second half held much the same intensity from both sides with Noah Jackson, Tanna Leicester and Dugard all putting in valiant efforts for Gippsland however the away side were unable to convert their attempts at goal.

Another quick goal from Ringwood saw the game slip away from Gippsland with the final score being 3-1.

Once again, the results did not reflect the true game with just a couple of slips in concentration on Gippsland’s behalf giving the opposition an opportunity to capitalise.

UNDER-16

THE Under-16s played host to South Melbourne at Latrobe City Stadium, Morwell.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for South Melbourne to get on top, scoring three goals in the first-half.

After half-time, Gippsland FC had more attempts on goal, none however hit the back of the net.

The backline worked harder defending the ball and goalkeeper Jeffrey Pearson made many great

UNDER-18

PERFECT conditions greeted players and spectators alike as Gippsland FC Under-18s took on Mornington.

Both teams were creating chances in a free-flowing affair and an early goal seemed likely.

Mornington would be given a free kick, just outside the box that was top bin bound until being well saved by Gippsland FC goalkeeper Jared Goodwin.

Gippsland FC were starting to play as they’ve been training and soon after Julian Colantuono would slot home the opening goal after some wonderful build-up play.

That’s how the first half would end as both teams looked to regroup for the remainder of the match.

Gippsland FC started the second half as they finished the first, dominating play and pressing hard for a second goal.

Tana Betera seemed to be everywhere and Brodyn Taylor was creative in the middle of the park as another goal beckoned.

Unfortunately for the home fans a Mornington break would see one of their players go down quicker than a lead balloon with the resulting penalty tying the game at one apiece.

While on tiring legs, Gippsland FC threw everything at Mornington looking for the winner, but time ran out for the brave home team with the game finishing tied at 1-1.

NOBODY does hospitality quite like the Italians.

Much like always having a bottle of wine ready for visitors, the Morwell Bocce Club has new courts ready for the Bocce Nationals next month.

The courts themselves have been constructed as a genuine labour of love, with the local Italian community banding together to see them come to fruition.

From a practical viewpoint, the club has needed to build two more courts to complement the existing premier facility at the Italian Australian Club to accommodate the number of players expected to descend on the area for the tournament.

In a great show of community, neighbouring business Massaro Motors generously donated the use of a shed for the club to construct the new courts.

Tony Paolini, Felice Prezioso, Benny Alesi and Franco Fava were busy at work last week putting the new court together, encompassing a length of around 30 metres.

Once framed-up, the court was filled with a soil, compacted and watered before adding the top layer of sand.

Similar to a cricket pitch, a bocce court needs to be firm to allow consistent bounce and to avoid the ball ‘sticking’ in the surface.

Fava, a life member of the club, said all was in readiness for the nationals.

“It is an honour for a humble club like ours in the country to host such an event,” he said.

“We have the courts, they will be perfect for the nationals.

“We are expecting at least 60 players plus families, there will be probably 120 people.

“It will be a good boost for the Valley. Really looking forward to it. Everyone is really excited.

“We’ve been working from morning to night, levelling the courts and doing the physical work but we are doing it because we love the sport.”

The nationals are set to be a memorable occasion in more ways than one, as 2022 marks 50 years of Bocce National Championships.

It is the second time the Bocce Nationals have been hosted in a regional centre and the first time that the senior men and women’s championship will be held in Morwell.

The Bocce Australia board has chosen Morwell primarily because of its long participation history with the sport and the contribution that the club and the players have made since they joined the Bocce Federation.

Bocce Australia president Frank Funari said the Italian Australian Club was a multi-purpose social, sporting and cultural complex catering for everyone.

“The club epitomises Australia’s multiculturalism and has embraced all members of the community - the success of which can be seen in the diversity of membership,” he said.

“The club today is all that its founders would have dreamed it to be and is very much aligned to Bocce Australia’s purpose of having bocce being played by all communities.”

The Bocce Nationals will run from Thursday, June 9 to Monday, June 13.

Swans destroyed by dynamite Devils outfit

SOCCER LVSL

By LAURIE WILLIAMS

ROUND 8 REVIEW ROUND 8 of the Latrobe Valley Soccer League saw Traralgon City hold the high flying Fortuna 60 to a draw, Morwell Pegasus move back to the top of the table after beating Morwell rivals Falcons 2000, East Gippsland surprisingly held Monash to a draw while Newborough/Yallourn and Moe had victories over Churchill and Sale respectively.

 TRARALGON CITY v FORTUNA

TRARALGON City’s keeper Mason Loprese was the hero in the Roosters holding the league title aspirants Fortuna 60 to a 3-3 draw in windy conditions on Sunday afternoon.

The Roosters were reduced to 10 men after a double-yellow send off at the 20 minute mark.

Fortuna scored through Ryan McCauley only after seven minutes as the Lions continually forced the ball forward. Keeper Loprese was forced into some heavy saves which denied the ever present Fortuna strikers.

The windy conditions made it difficult to judge the flight of the ball as players continually miskicked to the opposition players. Traralgon City got a corner on the left and the wind took it wide enabling Traralgon City’s Mohamad Taleb to sweetly strike the ball home to level at 1-1 and that was the scoreline going into the break.

It was goal for goal in the second half as both teams attacked hard.

Both shotstoppers John Beamer and Loprese played their part in keeping the match on a level footing as at the final whistle it was a 3-3 draw.

The draw by Fortuna and a big win by Moe has seen these two clubs change places on the ladder.

 PEGASUS v FALCONS

IT was first versus second at Ronald Reserve as the home side handed the high flying Falcons 2000 side their first defeat of the season.

The first half saw a tight affair with both sides finding it difficult to fashion any clear cut chances.

Many a yellow card was handed out in a physical encounter albeit with no intended malice; after all there was plenty at stake.

The away side started to get on top early in the second half, but their inability to take advantage soon took its toll and with the Flying Horsemen’s only chance of the game, they took the lead after a loose ball in the box was tucked away in the bottom corner, leaving Charles Simon no chance.

The contest continued to heat up and Falcons should’ve equalised through striker Jamie Pistrin however he was thwarted by the Pegasus keeper to tip the ball wide.

Falcons has a never say die attitude and continued to push and push for an equaliser, but it was to no avail as Pegasus collected all three points and leapfrogged them into top spot.

 MOE v SALE

MOE and Sale went head-to-head under lights at Moe on Saturday night in what was an important

Page 64 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 18 May, 2022

match for the Devils in the first round of the McHallam/Patterson Cup. Moe’s injury plagued win over Traralgon City the week before was full of merit, but they picked up the pace against Sale scoring their highest ever total (10-1) against the Swans beating the 9-2 scoreline back in 1994.

It was Moe’s 77th win over the Swans.

The misty weather made conditions greasy, but Moe adapted better to cause Sale plenty of headaches.

The Devils had four on the board by half-time with Connor O’Hanlon scoring a brace and Noah Kane and Ty Georgiou on the scoresheet.

It was all Moe in the second half with O’Hanlon grabbing his hat-trick and Kane his brace.

Further goals to Brendan Ruddell and Bailey Somerville pushed the scoreline to 8-0.

Sale, although down, kept at Moe and with determination clawed back a goal but in reality it didn’t make much difference as Harley Robinson scored and then coach Kevin O’Farrell headed in Moe’s 10th from a corner.

 CHURCHILL v NEWBOROUGH/ YALLOURN

NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN bounced back for a second win in three weeks with a more than satisfying victory over Churchill.

The Rams were expected to push Newborough/ Yallourn, but it soon became obvious that the Combine had too many big guns for Churchill, running out 6-1 winners.

It was the eighth successive victory by Newborough/Yallourn over Churchill.

 MONASH v EAST GIPPSLAND

AFTER getting the hide belted off them by Falcons the previous week, East Gippsland fought hard this week to force a draw with Monash.

It was a history-making match with the first drawn game between these two teams.

Over the previous nine games Monash had taken the points from the Eagles but this time round the Eagles at least got a point from a close and interesting match.

 WEEKEND PREVIEW TWO catch-up matches will be played this weekend.

The first will be between Newborough/Yallourn and Traralgon City after their earlier season match was cancelled due to COVID. Newborough/Yallourn will look to continue their push towards the top-of-the-table.

The Roosters will be keen to continue their rich vein of form after holding the high-flying Fortuna side to a 3-3 draw last weekend.

East Gippsland and Fortuna will also get on the park after their first match was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

East Gippsland will be somewhat buoyed after they snagged an unlikely point against Monash last weekend although they face a Fortuna side who will be baying for blood after unnecessarily dropping points to Traralgon City last time out.

It is a must-win game for Fortuna and they may well see it as an opportunity to improve their goal difference given the tight nature of the league ladder.

VIC OPEN ROLLS TO VALLEY

Eight enough for United

BASKETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

GIPPSLAND United men continued their strong first half of the Big V season, defeating Surf Coast last Saturday.

Travelling to Torquay, United put in a dominant second half to win 86-60.

The win consolidated United in second position on the ladder and took their ledger to an imposing eight wins from nine starts.

Star import Brandon Armstrong led the scoring with 33 points, while youngster Ben Waller saw seven and a half minutes of action.

United are on the road again this weekend, and will travel to Mildura.

THE women had a hard-fought game against Wallan, and went down in a good contest by four points, 63-59.

A poor third term proved United’s undoing, as they let the home side tip 20 points in while only managing 12 themselves.

An arm-wrestle in the last saw the two teams score 14 points each, meaning United had to make do with running second on the night.

Chloe Hogg scored 14 points and import Makenzie Miller 11.

Joanna Watson shot two three pointers to go with eight three point assists.

United women are sixth on the 10-team ladder with four wins and just as many losses.

BIG V DIVISION 2 LADDER MEN: Pakenham 9-2, Gippsland United 8-1, Sherbrooke 8-1, Altona 7-4, Mornington 6-4, Wallan 5-6, Mildura 5-5, Craigieburn 4-6, Whittlesea 3-6, Maccabi 3-8, Surf Coast 2-8, Melton 0-9.

WOMEN: Altona 8-0, RMIT Redbacks 7-2, Mornington 6-2, Coburg 5-3, Blackburn 5-4, Gippsland United 4-4, Wallan 4-4, Corio Bay 3-5, Collingwood 0-9, Surf Coast 0-9.

BOWLS

BOWLS Victoria, together with Latrobe City Council, last week announced a landmark five-year agreement for the staging of the Victorian Open, commencing March 2023.

Thousands of bowlers of all abilities, together with clubmates, friends and family, will converge on the Gippsland region from March 24 to April 2 next year, for what is widely recognised as the largest bowls event in the state, and second nationally only to the Australian Open.

The event will inject millions of dollars into the local and broader Latrobe community.

The Latrobe/Gippsland region will offer bowlers a range of different surfaces to bowl on, at a time of year when the greens will be at their best. The region has abundant accommodation options to suit all budgets and requirements, with many tourism options for participants and their families to immerse themselves in when not bowling.

Reflecting on the new agreement, Bowls Victoria chief executive Tony Sherwill said it was an incredibly exciting opportunity.

“Not only will the Vic Open be moving to a new home, but the event will be bigger and better than ever before, with several new initiatives being introduced by our team, together with input from Latrobe City Council, Destination Gippsland, local clubs, and community groups,” he said.

“We are excited about the future potential and opportunities the event presents for the region and the broader community”.

An increased prize pool of more than $100,000 will be up for grabs, with the Victorian Open offering bowlers the chance to compete in several disciplines including singles, pairs, mixed pairs, and triples. Open to bowlers of all abilities and

levels, the Victorian Open is a world-class event that will be hosted at approximately 18 venues across the Gippsland region, over a nine-day period, with greens being at their optimum in the region in late March.

“Latrobe City Council is proud to partner with Bowls Victoria to become the home of the Victorian Open for the next five years,” Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said.

“As the largest bowls event in Victoria, it will bring significant and long-term benefits to our community, facilitate greater participation in the sport and inject millions of dollars into our local economy.

“We can’t wait to welcome this world-class event to our city next March, further cementing our role as the home of major events in the Gippsland region”.

When considering the move to the Latrobe Valley, Bowls Victoria general manager of commercial operations Andrew Haug said the passion of the local bowls community shone through.

“The opportunity to turn our future vision into reality would not have been made possible were it not for each of the stakeholders involved,” he said.

“We are sincerely grateful to Traralgon and Morwell Bowling Clubs, together with Latrobe City Council, Destination Gippsland and the state government of Victoria, all of whom really understood our vision for the future of this beloved event right from the outset.

“We are excited to showcase our sport and the region to bowlers and spectators from all over the country for the next five years”.

The Victorian Open, now in its 11th year, began in Shepparton and has evolved to see great success and participation since its inception, growing to become a much-loved event.
