Northe sentenced

FORMER Member for Morwell, Russell Northe will spend at least the next 12 months in jail. Mr Northe was sentenced to 21 months jail in Melbourne’s County Court last Wednesday, with a non-parole period of 12 months. The disgraced former MP previously pleaded guilty to two charges of misconduct while in public office. Mr Northe was charged after using taxpayer cash for administration purposes to fuel his gambling addiction. His actions, where he falsified a number of documents and set up fake expenses between 2019 and 2020, were described by Judge Michael McInerney as “sophisticated, protracted and brazen”. Mr Northe was also charged late last year with 45 offences following an investigation from the Independent Broad Based Anti-Corruption Commission. These charges were dropped in January 2023 after he entered a guilty plea to misconduct in office.

Mr Northe falsely claimed $175,813.40 in public expenses, which he used on gambling services. It is estimated he accrued gambling debts of around $400,000. The court heard how Mr Northe made more than 3000 bets alone in 2019, producing a net loss of more than $180,000. The 57-year-old pleaded guilty to two misconduct charges in the Latrobe Valley County Court in September, following a number delays as he was deemed psychiatrically unfit to stand for trial. At his sentencing last Wednesday, his lawyer Christin Tom mentioned Mr Northe had been granted leave from a psychiatric ward to attend his hearing. Given this, Mr Tom argued a prisonsentence would only be detrimental to Mr Northe’s already crippled mental health, however, Judge McInerney saw otherwise. “Having regard to the gravity of your offending I have decided that the only appropriate sentence ... is that of imprisonment,” his Honour said.

“In my view, no other sentence would be appropriate. “Analysis would demonstrate that it is unique in Victoria for a Member of Parliament to be charged with this offence. “The prosecution have submitted that the offending in this case is in the upper range, and therefore deserving of a sentence of imprisonment.” The guilty plea saved Mr Northe from more time behind bars, with Judge McInerney stating the former MP would have been sentenced to 36 months with a non-parole period of 22 months had he pleaded not guilty. Mr Northe sat in court while his sentencing took place, not uttering a single word. He appeared totally inconsolable as he sat alone in the dock, weeping for virtually the entire 90 minutes his sentencing took place. Stooping low in a chair and with his left hand covering his face for most of the hearing, Mr Northe looked a shell

of the man most had known as the local member of 16 years. His appearance gave a tell-tale sign of a man who had been to dark places, and when approached by reporters before entering the court just before his sentencing commenced at 10.30am, all the former MP could muster was a meek “not today thanks”. With most expecting Mr Northe to be handed a community corrections order, the final verdict was met with some shock from the gallery. “The defence, while accepting the classification of the criminality, have submitted, in all of the circumstances, that an appropriate sentence can be effected by way of a community correction order, without incarceration,” his Honour said. “I find that your criminality was sophisticated, protracted and brazen, in that you must have presumed, given your standing, that your applications would not be checked.

Federation Uni graduates sign off

By KATRINA BRANDON

FEDERATION University Gippsland campus sent off another group of graduates into the working world last week, turning their tassels to the side and jumping off to the next step in their lives. From watching the graduates doff their hats going across stage, the presentation of the University Medal and the walk of the graduates through the halls - this was the day to celebrate achievements. The recipient of the University Medal, Jessica Obersby, said the day was surreal. Jessica, who graduated with a Bachelor of Environmental and Conservation Science, achieved a 7.0 GPA (Grade Point Average), took many opportunities that Federation University offered and volunteered with Wildlife Victoria. During her course, Jessica faced many challenges, especially as a student during COVID, where she would often miss opportunities in practical classes

and feel a bit disconnected during lockdown periods. Jessica also mentioned that she enjoyed how much the class challenged her thinking skills. "I wish we were able to do more of the practical side of things in the course that, due to COVID, we were unable to do practical classes as much as we would have liked to," she said. "The move from teaching and editing to science was a bit challenging because it was a shift in thinking." Federation University Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Duncan Bentley, said the important thing of studying through COVID was that students had to react very quickly to the external events. "It was very stressful for them as the whole world was changing. It was very challenging from a physical and mental point of view," he said. "They had to exhibit such incredible resilience to

be able to complete their studies, I think they will be very well prepared for any job circumstance. They have dealt with so much change already during their courses, so they will be ready for any challenges that the world throws at them." Professor Bentley told the Express that Federation University was taking more steps towards helping students of today and the future to be more prepared for future careers. Federation University is starting to consult with employers to hire students while they are still studying so they can get real life experience and learn how they will transition into that job after graduating. "I think the trouble with the world in the way it teaches young people is that they have to be prepared along the way. The old-fashioned ways of doing university aren’t going to work for the modern world. Universities have to adapt to be able to work

with students, with employers and with society to make sure that we’re graduating the students who are prepared for the world," Professor Bentley said. Jessica advises that future students should use everything they can get from Federation University as there are lots of resources available. "Talk to lecturers whenever you can about classes so that you can get a greater understanding of the classes," she said. Now, Jessica is moving onto her Masters of Applied Science with Federation University next year while working with East Gippsland Shire in Bairnsdale with many environmental science opportunities. The ceremony was emotional for the graduates and left them with many messages such as one from their graduate speaker, Erica D'Angelo: “Have faith in how far you can go … let’s challenge the status quo.”

All done: Graduates Lauren Alexander, Jake Simpson, Talithia Phipps and Sarah Gardiner.

Girls in Blue program

FORGET THE REST... OUR PIZZA S

THE BEST!

AALL LLLL FFRESH RESH AALL LL THE THE TIME TIME

Girls going blue: Morwell Police station was a hive of activity during the Girls in Blue program.

Photograph supplied

THE Girl’s in Blue program has taken the Latrobe Valley by storm as Year 9 to 12 female students experience a day as a police officer. On Tuesday, October 24, around 45 young women from schools across the region participated in the program. The aim is to showcase the exciting lifestyle of a police officer and attract more young women to a career in policing. In its second year, the 'Girls in Blue' program was created by officers from Latrobe and Baw Baw Proactive Policing Units. Over the course of the day, students toured their local police station. Detective senior constable Amelia Bragagnolo enjoyed participating in the day. "We had students from local high schools so there was, Kurnai, Lavalla, Lowanna, Marist-Sion, Trafalgar High and Warragul regional and Drouin Secondary," she said. "All the schools went to their local police station in the morning and had a tour of the police station where they were shown around and introduced to the units and what the units are about.” Many working officers shared their experiences and inspired the next generation of first responders. "When I was seven-years-old I actually participated in the police in schools program and I went on the end of year trip to the academy," she said. "Had the excursion there - remembered eating jelly slice with the chief commissioner. Came home to mum and said I'm gonna be a police officer when I grow up.” Despite having gone down the path of a university degree, Det Bragagnolo said she always aspired to enter the force. Det Bragaganolo was eager to share her story and passion behind her career to students.

Bike burglars POLICE are investigating a burglary that occurred at a school in Newborough on Monday, October 9, at about 10pm. Three unknown offenders attended the school premises and gained entry to a storage shed at the school. The three offenders left the premises but soon returned at about 10.40pm, leaving the school with three mountain bikes valued at $20,000. Police are seeking information into the whereabouts of the bikes and identity of offenders. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic. com.au

"It’s more for students that haven't decided their career path yet, it's just a bit of an introduction if they're still deciding what they want to do,” she said. "It's a good opportunity for them to talk to us and ask questions in a comfortable environment about the nature of policing and what the job involves." Det Bragagnalo says young people, especially women, should consider the police force for a career. "I think it's a great career," she said. The senior detective said women should enter the force "because you just can,” and that gender is no barrier. Students were also given the opportunity to speak with female officers from speciality areas. The young women listened to experts in Forensics, Prosecutions, Highway Patrol and General Duties officers shared their experiences and what they enjoyed most about their roles. Local police are encouraging students who are close to finishing school or their VCE studies to consider the police force as an option. Victoria Police have reformed their recruitment requirements with no degrees, VCE or ATAR prerequisites. The only requirement is that potential recruits obtain an Australian automatic driver's license. A probationary license is also accepted. Victoria Police offers an exciting career path, paid training from day one and heaps of benefits for school leavers and graduates. There are other career options for those seeking something a little different such as protective services officer (PSO), police custody officer (PCO) or help assist frontline workers and work for the Victorian Public Service (VPS).

FOR the second time in its history, a car has found its way through the door of Light and Shade Traralgon's shop front. On Monday, October 23, at about 10.30am, a car accidentally accelerated into the front of the Traralgon store along Hotham Street. Current owners Margaret and Bruce Bell had quite the shock of their life for the second time. The Bells have been at the store for a decade and in that time have seen two cars fly through their shop front on two separate occasions. "The old story that lightning doesn't strike twice - apparently it does," Mr Bell said. "We've got a lot of stock damage, we're just working it out as we speak, but who knows - probably $20,000-$30,000 worth of damage." Despite the financial loss of the incident, Mr Bell was happy that nobody was hurt in the incident. "Myself, my wife and the staff members that were with us on the Monday were at the back counter, nobody was hurt, nobody was injured," he said. Back to business, the Bell’s quickly cleaned up the wreckage and are back operating as usual. "They've already put in a temporary door and we

should have a replacement in a week or so ... we've got a fantastic insurance company," Mr Bell said. "We're still operating, we're still open for business." Light and Shade has sat within the bustling crowd on Hotham St for more than 25 years. The business sells quality lighting and a unique range of lamps, ceiling fans and giftware. In November 2011, a car travelled through the front of the shop, smashing glass and tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock on its destructive path all the way through the building. "I'd love the council to put bollards up around town or even those old parking metres up again, wouldn't that be a nice idea," Mr Bell laughed sarcastically. "I just thought after last time surely it couldn't happen again." In the last incident in 2011, Light and Shade Traralgon were ready for Christmas and coincidentally, their Santa Claus display also received a beating in the incident. "Why knock over poor Santa. Santa got hit again," Mr Bell quipped. Taking the uncanny coincidences as comedic, Mr Bell couldn't help but laugh at his own unluckiness.

"We bought the shop four weeks before the first car accident," he said. "So, I'm either the unluckiest retailer in Australia or the luckiest one. I'm just not sure." Mr Bell said it was a relief the incident didn't occur at a busier time. "If this had been a busy day or even any busy Saturday afternoon it probably would've hit someone," he said. Light and Shade Traralgon's owners took time to thank emergency crews for their swift response. "They were fantastic as usual, the ambulance, the fire brigade the police all turned up" he said. "They were excellent, very fast, very prompt, very professional." With his daughter's wedding to worry about, Mr Bell light-heartedly said the incident wasn't the "best timing ever, but Santa is okay and that's all that matters." A Victoria police spokesperson said: “This was a car going through a glass door at a local business. The driver and workers were uninjured, and there was no structural damage.” The incident, that could have ended badly, resulted in no injuries, with staff quite shaken up but safe and sound.

Vale: Former Latrobe Valley Express employee Paul Grant, who was with the company for close to 50 years, died last week.

We’ll miss you Granty THE Latrobe Valley Express lost one of its longest serving employees last week. Paul Grant died last Wednesday in his Traralgon home after a battle with lung cancer. He was 64. Mr Grant served the newspaper for the best part of 50 years, working as a typographer, designer and compositor. Most of the pages in the Express since 1977 had Mr Grant’s fingerprints behind them. He adopted new newspaper production technology and systems as they evolved, and excelled in the use of new technology as it became available. He applied these skills to help the Express gain widespread industry recognition for its typography, design and layout, a critical but largely unseen element of a newspaper’s personality. Working in production and editorial, Mr Grant was the man primarily responsible for the look of the Express and its associated publications. His work in page layout and efficiency in seeing pages completed was unmatched. Put simply, there was no one better. Going about his trade quietly, Mr Grant’s passion for producing the best looking page led to the Express delivering some memorable fronts.

That being said, ‘Granty’ always believed each page was as important as the last, and applied this line of thinking in all his work. Latrobe Valley Express General Manager Bruce Ellen said Mr Grant would be dearly missed. “All our team are deeply saddened by the passing of a greatly valued friend and colleague who devoted his working life of 45 years to the Express, and in turn its readership,” Mr Ellen said. His legacy continues not only through the standard of professionalism he set, but with his son Lauchlan a current Express employee. Mr Grant had been dealing with lung cancer for the last two years caused by cigarettes which he gave up in 1992. He retired from fulltime work at the end of last year to deal with his health. “High regard to for acquaintances and mates during life’s work at the stone including the journos,” he said at the time. Mr Grant’s funeral will be held tomorrow. He is survived by wife Caroline and their children Jason, Trina, Nicholas, Lauchlan and Cameron.

“YOU used your office as a means of hiding the manner in which you committed these crimes by lodging false documentation to support the claims for administrative expenditure funding, for an elected member of the Parliament of Victoria.” “Indeed it appears that your fraudulent applications worked, however the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) were alerted in late 2020.” Working in his defence, Mr Tom listed a number of character references provided for Mr Northe, including former Member for Narracan Gary Blackwood. Judge McInerney acknowledged these and other factors in his sentencing remarks. “From the character evidence tendered, it would appear that you were a hard working and excellent member,” his Honour said. “Such occupation appears to have been made more difficult, in particular, by the Morwell pit fire of 2009 and the bushfires of 2019. “It would appear you also had difficulties within your own party, as to differing aspirations. Certainly, such led to you resigning from the National Party and becoming an Independent Member at the 2018 election. “Geographical isolation from your family seemed to have created difficulties, not only with the family, but with yourself. “As a result of such difficulties, it would appear that you became socially isolated and found handling your role as a husband, father, Member and a Minister difficult.” While he was distraught throughout the entire sentencing, Mr Northe let out his biggest cry at the mention of his children and daughter-in-law. Such was his state, Judge McInerney allowed Mr Northe to sit while his verdict was being handed

Stay safe as bushfire season now underway VICTORIANS are being urged to prepare for an early start to the fire season and potential power outages this summer, AusNet has warned. The recently released Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook said there was a high chance of an early start to the fire season in Victoria this year, with fires in Gippsland earlier this month attesting to that. The Australian Energy Market Operator has also warned that there is increased risk of power outages this summer due to higher than usual electricity demand. AusNet's executive general manager network operations and safety, Prue Crawford-Flett, said energy reliability was a key focus for AusNet, with preparations for the upcoming summer well underway. AusNet operates in a region that spans from Biggara in the state's north-east to Giffard and Mallacoota. Ms Crawford-Flett said AusNet had inspected 11,296 power poles from the ground and via helicopter. These inspections resulted in proactive maintenance on 1759 of these poles. "Additionally, in this area we've assessed 28,938 spans, which is the area between two power poles, for overgrown vegetation and cleared 5127 spans as a result. This work is part of our commitment to improve safety and reliability ahead of the bushfire season," she said. "We invested $52.7 million this year on vegetation management programs to ensure the network is well maintained." AusNet's electricity distribution network covers 80,000 square kilometres, which consists of 45,985 kilometres of overhead powerlines, 7908 kilometres of underground cables, 417,145 power poles and 90,000 streetlights. This year marks the completion of AusNet's rapid earth fault current limiter (REFCL) program as part of the state government's Powerline Bushfire Safety program. "REFCLs operate like a safety switch, rapidly cutting power to fallen or damaged powerlines before a fire can start, reducing the risk of bushfires in our communities," Ms Crawford-Flett said. "Our REFCL's have been built and tested over seven years and have detected a number of faults since 2018, potentially avoiding fires from starting." AusNet says it will continue to prepare for Victoria's energy future by investing in projects that increase network capacity, improve reliability, introduce more renewable energy into the network and protect communities from bushfires.

The network operator says in preparing for power outages, it's important to be power prepared and know what to do before, during and after a power outage. Life support customers should have an up-to-date emergency plan with their medical practitioner and be ready to use it during an outage. AusNet says people should have a plan ready to go if the power goes out. Tips to help people prepare before an outage include:  Make sure you have an emergency management plan;  Put together an emergency kit in an easy to access place and let everyone know where it is. As a start you should have battery-operated devices such as a radio to receive important information in the event of an outage and a torch. Make sure you keep spare batteries in there too;  Check to make sure that your medical supplies are fully stocked;  Make sure you can open your garage or fence manually so you can leave your home if the power goes out;  Make sure your phone is fully charged. Remember, some phones only work with electricity;  If you have an electric water pump, stock up on bottled water, and;  If you have a private overhead electric line on your property, ensure it's clear of vegetation. Phone a registered electrician to repair damaged poles, or a certified tree clearer to remove unwanted vegetation. Life support customers should:  If you require oxygen, make sure the cylinders are filled and working;  See if you can visit a friend, family member or hospital when the power is out;  Ask a neighbour to check on you during the outage, and;  Keep all important phone numbers handy, for example: your doctor, the nearest hospital, the local taxi service and AusNet's emergency number 13 17 99. AusNet's life support priority line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 1800 818 832.

Two years on: Byron’s incredible journey By TOM HAYES

Side by side: Byron surrounded by his friends and family for his 21st birthday last year.

Photographs supplied

Strong: Rachel with her son Byron during her first visit, three days after the incident. Close friend Aidyn Sheers was left with questions, having not heard from Byron for hours, with the two planning to go fishing that night. "I started messaging a few mates as I knew something was wrong. I eventually got in contact with Kieren and he told me something happened at work, he's been hit in the head, he's been put in a coma, and if they don't operate he'll die," Aidyn said. "I remember feeling completely sick I couldn't even speak, I just started crying. I couldn't even go to work the next day, because all I could think is that I was going to get a call saying that Byron hadn't made it." “I went inside and laid on his bed and cried for hours,” Rachel said. That evening, Rachel received a phone call from a surgeon, requesting permission to operate on Byron, letting her know that they needed to operate then and there to save his life. Without hesitation, the operation was underway, and it was once again a waiting game for the Foley’s. More family poured into their home and supported each other through the night. “(At) about 10pm they rang me and said that Byron had survived the surgery, but they didn’t know if he would make it through the night,” Rachel said. Still, due to COVID restrictions, no one was allowed to visit Byron at the hospital, and it was the only thing that his family wanted to do. “Doctors told us we could only see him if he died,” Rachel added. “I wouldn’t let anyone leave the house, I wanted everyone to stay. I was scared that something would happen to them if they left, scared to be alone in case someone told me something that I had to do for Byron, scared they would miss updates.” Rachel woke in the morning and was told that Byron had made it through the night, and she would be told if anything changes. She visited her nan and pop’s grave and begged for them to watched over him. “The feeling of powerlessness made me realise I had no control, I was not able to see him. It was a parents’ worst nightmare,” she said. Later in the afternoon of Thursday, October 14 2021 another operation was needed for Byron as the pressure in his head was getting too high. They had to operate once again to save his life. “That was confronting and almost scarier than the night before, because I had time to think about all of the things that could go wrong,” Rachel said. “I just remember watching Paul and Kieren fall apart, and to see my dad cry, I don’t think I have ever seen that many times in my life.” Later than evening, Byron was out of his second surgery, but he was still “touch and go”. But the following day, Rachel and Paul faced

some big decisions to make. The doctor from the Intensive Care Unit asked if Rachel and Paul had considered turning Byron’s life support off, as it was still unknown how damaged his brain was. “He rang back later in the afternoon, the situation was unchanged, but Paul and I were able to visit for an hour to talk to them and make that big decision,” Rachel said. “I was totally broken, but I knew that I had to toughen up and do whatever we thought Byron would want us to do. “Paul and I were pretty much on the same page with our decision. “We made the decision to hold off and wait, as we had decided that we wouldn’t let Byron be a vegetable. It was not what he would want.” Rachel recollects seeing her husband with heartache as they sat with Byron, feeling helpless that she couldn’t do anything about the situation directly. “I just laid on Byron’s chest and cried the whole time I was there,” she said. “To see your son with tubes coming out of his brain, coming out of everywhere, machines breathing for him, machines doing everything and the bandages around his head with a sticker saying ‘No Bone’. I will never forget that. “Then we had to leave and that was the hardest thing, knowing that he was going to be alone and we didn’t know if we were going to be allowed to come back and see him.” Weeks passed, and every day Rachel and Paul would beg to visit once again, even just to drive four hours there and back for a one-hour visit. When Byron was released from life support to see how he would go by himself, the family could only watch via Zoom. For weeks that was the only type of contact. Friends would often join the Foley’s at their house to see Byron via Zoom, all giving their support to one another. “It was so hard because he was awake, but I could tell he didn’t know what was going on but he could only see our faces on the Zoom link. It was hard because he was there but I didn’t know how much he knew,” Rachel said. When Rachel and Paul were able to visit again, following weeks of trading back and forth, they filled his room in the Brain Injury Ward with photos of his friends and family, and set up music for him. But following months of assessment and his titanium skull surgery in February 2022, Byron was released for two weeks in March 2022, over five months since the incident. “We were finding that he couldn’t talk. He stared a lot. Like he wanted to say something but he couldn’t say it, or didn’t know how to say it but

WITH the snap of a finger, Byron Foley’s life was turned upside-down after a workplace incident left him a different man. The then 20-year-old second-year apprentice fitter and turner was left in a critical condition after he was struck in the head while performing instructed duties at Dennis Jones Engineering in Morwell. Now two years since the incident, Byron, now 22, has endured an incredible journey which has not been easy on himself nor his family. His life was forever changed on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, and it’s a day that his family will never forget. Over the last two years, Byron’s life has been filled with operations, rehabilitation and therapy, filled with the support of his friends and family. “We received a phone call that there was something happening down at the Dennis Jones workshop … as we were around the corner from the workshop, my husband Paul and I called around to see what was happening,” Byron's mum Rachel recalled of that fateful day. When Rachel and Paul arrived at Byron’s workplace, there were ambulances and medical cars everywhere. Paul went inside to see what was going on, while Rachel’s gut feeling left her waiting in the car. After five or so minutes, Rachel decided to walk in, but she was stopped by paramedics who told her not to go inside. “I went numb. Started to shake and just said ‘Please tell me it’s not my son’,” she said. Her situation escalated when the director of Dennis Jones Engineering, Dennis Jones came out and told her “I think I’ve killed your son." “I went numb, I didn’t know what to say. I looked at him in disbelief and moved away from him,” Rachel said. Soon after, Rachel and Paul were informed that Byron had been placed in an induced coma, and once he was stable, he was to be airlifted for the Alfred Hospital. Due to COVID restrictions in 2021, Rachel nor Paul could step foot in the helicopter or ambulance. Byron’s brother Kieren arrived and was instantly “gutted”. “We thought we were saying goodbye for good,” Rachel said. “We just got told to go home and wait for the Alfred (Hospital) to ring. I couldn’t believe it, that all of our rights as parents were taken away and reduced to a stay-and-wait role.” Living close to the local airport, Rachel, Paul and Kieren were standing in their backyard waiting for the chopper to fly over. “I was thinking, ‘How can Byron be doing all of this by himself without us to help him when he needed us the most?’” Rachel said. Meanwhile, it was phone call after phone call for the Foley’s, after friends and family had heard of the incident, they had to break the news to everyone that was close to him.

just wanted to express himself. He just looked like he didn’t know himself as though he didn’t know who he was,” Rachel said. When returning to Melbourne’s Epworth Rehabilitation, Byron and Rachel spent weeks away from the rest of the family. There, Byron would undergo physio rehabilitation and speech therapy every day, coming home on weekends. They spent 10 months in this cycle. But now, over two years since the incident, Byron is still doing physiotherapy and speech therapy five days a week, Monday to Friday, driving up and back, to and from Melbourne. Rachel now only works casually, while Paul had to change jobs to be closer to home. Byron suffers from seizures, and each one is scarier than the first, as the attack rolls his tongue back in his mouth. “One such time I was driving down the highway, Byron and I were hungry and wanted a hamburger, so we stopped at Maccas for a cheeseburger, about 10 kilometres down the road, Byron started to have a seizure,” Rachel said. “He had food in his mouth. His tongue rolled back in his mouth and I had to pull over. “I had to grab something out of the console, I cannot even remember what it was now, to stop his mouth from closing down, to scoop food out of his mouth so that he wouldn’t choke. All by myself on the side of the highway. It was horrifying.” Just another fear added to Rachel’s long list, the fact he could choke on something at any given time. “I just can never relax because of constant worry and fear,” she said. Rachel questioned herself, asking what kind of future Byron has, as he will never be able to do anything he once loved. “He was always out on his motorbike, or in his cars. He lost his girlfriend. He was a very popular boy, social boy, now he is isolated,” Rachel said. “He is finding more and more of his friends are disappearing because their lives are going places and his is not. “He is missing those milestones, mates turning 21, buying homes, getting engaged, starting to have families. All things Byron should be doing but cannot. “He was so fun and the fun seems to have disappeared from his life. He seems to be living just for rehab, for therapy … everything that he loved and lived for is not possible for him now … there are no more adventures.” The extent of Byron’s brain damage is still unknown as he is still unable to communicate properly, appointments are still ongoing. As his friends and family celebrate how far he has come in the past two years, Rachel hopes that an example is made from this instance. “I can only hope that this sets an example of what no one would want to have happen to their child. No one would want to go through what we are still going through. A parent should never have a phone call like that. Your kids should be able to go to work safe,” she said. "Watching Byron's recovery while rewarding seeing how far he's come, has been one of the hardest things a mate can watch," Aidyn said. "Byron was the one person I knew that never said no to going out on a weekend, camping, motorbike riding, or just having a few beers. So having to see him learn to walk and talk again was heart-wrenching." Dennis Jones Engineering and the director, Dennis Jones himself, faced two charges each at the start of 2023. The two parties face court again tomorrow (Thursday, November 2), after pleading guilty to the charges.

National Anti-Poverty Week ALTHOUGH generally a well-off country, Australia still has 3.3 million people living below the poverty line, including 761,000 children whose families lack adequate food and struggle to pay essential household bills. The combination of inadequate and insecure housing, and families under financial stress, is especially damaging for children, putting their health, self-esteem and future prospects at serious risk. Anti-Poverty Week (from October 15 to 27) shined a light on the children of families who receive inadequate social security payments and depend on emergency support from charities such as St Vincent de Paul Society. "We are a sponsor of Anti-Poverty Week because the first-hand experience of our frontline members tells us how difficult life has become for so many Australians," St Vincent de Paul Society National President Mark Gaetani said. "Those particularly vulnerable are single parents, First Nations people, long-term unemployed and those living with disability or ill-health. But it’s the

GP1663665

impact on children that is especially concerning, as the formative years are so important. "If you don’t have a good start in life, a failure to thrive is embedded, impacting kids on many levels, from their physical and emotional health through to their educational and longer life prospects. "It’s unbelievable that in a wealthy country like ours, one-in-six children live in poverty-affected households. Imagine that … one in six! And it isn’t just those families who are out of work, because one-in-15 of Australians in strife do have paid employment, although it may be part-time or exploitative gig work." Mr Gaetani hoped more could be done to assist those in need. "We urge the government and all MPs to urgently commit to bringing about a better life for those experiencing poverty, especially children, and to take resolute action to make this happen," he said. The society strongly supports Anti-Poverty Week’s target of halving child poverty by 2030, and there is no reason why this should not be achieved."

Kali and Leiha’s support work continues at LRH

EARS were scratched, heads were stroked, and paws were offered in friendship when Kali and Leiha, Latrobe Regional Health’s (LRH) visiting therapy dogs recently accepted a new sponsorship deal. Integrated facilities management company BGIS has agreed to support the work of Kali and Leiha for the next six months, meaning their efforts to reduce stress for staff, visitors and patients will continue. “We’ve had a long-term relationship with the hospital providing facility management and when we were approached to support Kali and Leiha and their handler Sharyn, we were happy to come on board,” BGIS President and Managing Director Dana Nelson said. “We’ve got 14 people on site covering different services across the built environment, all helping contribute to the shared vision which is good outcomes for local patients. “With that in mind, you can see the positive impact Kali and Leiha have on people, so we’re delighted to support them in bringing smiles to faces and hopefully lowering any anxiety people might be feeling about being in hospital, visiting a loved one or from the staff’s point of view, reducing some of the stress that builds up over a shift." As part of the sponsorship, Kali and Leiha will wear special coats bearing their names, their roles and acknowledging BGIS support. Kali and Leiha have been visiting LRH for just over 12 months under the care of their handler Sharyn Thompson. “We visit ED and as many of the wards as we can as well as areas like Allied Health. I always ask each person if they would like to say hello to the girls. From there people just love to stroke them or give them a pat - people of all ages and backgrounds really,” Sharyn said. “Kids especially love to meet them, and it often distracts them from what is happening. "You can see faces light up and if there is any stress around meeting a dog, it soon evaporates as people realise how friendly and lovely they are.” LRH is grateful the dog therapy program is able to continue thanks to the generosity of BGIS. “Seeing BGIS so eagerly support the sponsorship idea reminds us they are more than just building managers, electricians and plumbers fixing things. They are a part of the LRH team as well. They’re just as invested in getting the best result for patients and visitors as we all are,” LRH Executive Director People and Culture Mark Wilkins said.

Key factors to help improve Gippsland health outcomes

GP1663448

Page 12 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 1 November, 2023

HEALTH inequalities will persist in Gippsland unless we address the social determinants of health, according to Gippsland Primary Health Network (Gippsland PHN). Gippsland PHN Acting Chief Executive, Angela Jacob, said three new quarterly issues papers produced by the organisation highlighted important discussions needed to improve health outcomes for Gippsland. “We know many people in Gippsland experience disadvantage that affects their health such as low income, lack of employment and pressures related to family and safety,” Ms Jacob said. “These three papers - social determinants of health, improving population health and implementing value-based care - address the key factors that will guide and influence health system reform and align with our commitment to improving health outcomes for the people of Gippsland. Research shows that social determinants can be more important than health behaviours or healthcare in influencing health. People with poorer health outcomes include:  People experiencing most disadvantage;  People in regional and remote areas;  Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people;  People with a disability;  LGBTIQA+ people;  People from a multicultural background, and;  People with mental health and/or alcohol and other drug issues; Factors that lead to delays in seeking healthcare or avoiding treatment altogether include:  Cost for the service;  Lack of transport;  Discomfort sharing personal information for fear of judgement;  A lack of information about available options for care;  Digital barriers;  Time pressures may prevent a discussion about prevention and holistic, and;  Pressures related to caring and family responsibilities and seeking financial security and safety are prioritised over health care. In Gippsland, 15.4 per cent of children under 16 years live in low income, welfare dependent families compared to the Victorian average of 9.3 per cent. Data also show that 23.3 per cent of people in Gippsland have less than $650 in weekly household income compared to the Victorian average of 16.4 per cent.

Low income affects how, where and when people access health services. A population health approach recognises that health is shaped by a range of factors with social determinants the most important driver, followed by health behaviours and lifestyles, places and communities, and integrated health and care systems. Ms Jacob said Gippsland PHN used a population health planning approach when seeking to achieve its vision. “We incorporate data into the health needs assessment to describe and understand inequities and priority populations and incorporate equity considerations in the commissioning process,” she said. “We look to fund holistic models of care, codesigned to meet community health and wellbeing needs and are working to support integration of the health system.” Other initiatives include the development of a Reconciliation Action Plan 2023-2025 and a Climate Change Adaption Strategy, primary care education and training, supporting general practice with strengthening Medicare initiatives and advocating for policy and system change at local, state and national levels. Gippsland PHN says it is committed “to embedding value-based healthcare principles into its work with community to achieve a measurable improvement in health outcomes, fostering a healthier and more vibrant population with reduced health disparities." “Value-based health care is focused on the outcomes that matter to patients relative to the costs required to achieve those outcomes,” Ms Jacob said. “Shifting to value-based payment models can help move the health care system from volume to value. It promotes patient-centred care and improves patient satisfaction. “Clinicians focus on their area of expertise, leading to increased job satisfaction and less burnout.” Gippsland PHN’s ‘Theory for Change for Valuebased Health Care’ is a seven-step plan which starts by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the community’s health needs. It involves a diversity of stakeholders to identify health priorities and design potential solutions. Ms Jacob urged the community to provide feedback to the papers. “We need the community to be involved in these important discussions around health reform.” You can find the new priority issues papers on the Gippsland PHN website.

Plan & Prepare CFA is ready for fire season - but are you?

emergency authorities to tell them what to do, 28.6 per cent would stay until they felt threatened and 13.8 per cent would stay and defend their property.

Victoria is expecting a warmer Spring and an earlier start to the fire season this year and we’re asking those living in high-risk areas to take action to prepare their family and property.

Victoria has experienced many damaging fire seasons in recent memory such as the February 2009 bushfires and the 2019-20 fires, and with the prediction of a warmer spring and earlier start to this year’s season, CFA is concerned that not enough people are preparing themselves for fire season and heeding CFA’s advice.

The new Spring Seasonal Outlook predicts the fire risk in the coming months to be normal across the state, as well as strong drying patterns in Gippsland’s forested areas and elevated grass fuel loads in central, western and northern Victoria. While La Niña conditions have subdued Victoria’s fire risk the past three years, our state is one of the most bush-fire prone areas in the world and we need people to be prepared as we approach warmer conditions. CFA crews have been protecting lives and property in this environment for decades - some for more than a century. They’re highly-trained, professional firefighters that have made every effort to prepare their communities ahead of this fire season, as they do every year. We’re constantly working with our Victorian emergency service partners throughout the cooler months to prepare for fire season and this year is no exception. However, while we continue our work, our crews implore people to understand that fire safety is a shared responsibility between fire services and the community. We’re asking all Victorians in high-risk areas to take simple actions to prepare their family and property as the weather begins to warm. If you live near areas with bush, forest, long grass or coastal scrub, these actions and decisions may well save your life and property in the event of a bushfire.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said it’s concerning knowing around half of all Victorians in high-risk bushfire areas are risking their lives if a bushfire was to occur. Find some time to sit down with your family or household and make a Bushfire Survival Plan, and if you already have one, it’s a great time to review it. It’s also the perfect time to tidy up your property, this can include clearing your gutters, pruning branches away from your roof or walls, keeping grass shorter than 10cm and removing leaves and twigs from around your property. Landowners should also consider private burn offs to remove green waste ahead of Fire Danger Period (FDP) declarations. All burn-offs must be registered, which can be done online at firepermits.vic.gov. au Stay informed by downloading the VicEmergency app to stay across incidents and fire danger ratings in your area. I urge all Victorians to visit the CFA website to learn more about how they

can prepare themselves ahead of this bushfire season at cfa.vic.gov.au/prepare Stay safe, Jason Heffernan CFA Chief Officer

Troubling data shows Victorians won’t leave early in the event of a bushfire An alarming number of Victorians living in high-risk bushfire areas say they would stay at their properties until they felt threatened by a bushfire, or would wait for an official warning, a CFA survey revealed. CFA’s annual Bushfire Community Survey, undertaken since 2009-10, showed 30.9 per cent would wait for

“Victoria has had quieter fire seasons the last few years but now is not the time for the community to become complacent,” Heffernan said. “And while our firefighters are always well prepared and your safety during fire season is a shared responsibility, so it’s vital that you understand your local risks and take actions to prepare your family and property. “We’ve seen in the recent release of the spring seasonal outlook that weather patterns are changing and we’re expecting warmer and drier conditions across the state leading up to summer. “Fires spread quickly and they threaten lives and properties. The community needs to be prepared and they need to know their triggers to act. Please don’t rely on one source of information, utilise the multiple channels available to you. Use common sense and protect yourself and your loved ones.”

Fire safety is a joint effort THE AFAC Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Spring released on 23 August, outlined that fire risk in the coming months is expected to be normal across most parts of Victoria. The predicted development of an El Niño weather pattern will contribute to higher fire risk in some parts of Victoria this season compared to the last three years. CFA’s annual Bushfire Community Survey showed 44.4 per cent believe CFA is responsible for protecting them during a bushfire, and 43.8 per cent say

CFA is responsible for protecting their home. “We simply can’t get a truck to every house during a major bushfire. Fire safety is a joint effort and the community need to also take on this responsibility when living in a bushfire prone area,” Heffernan said. “Our promise is to continue with our mission to protect lives and property and we are lucky to have some of the best firefighters in the world to do this.” Victoria’s integrated warning system

includes the Vic Emergency website, app and social media channels, VicEmergency Hotline 1800 226 226, emergency broadcasters including ABC radio, SkyNews TV, commercial radio and select community radio stations.

Advice - An incident is occurring or has occurred.

Warnings are issued when an incident is occurring, and you need to act.

Conditions are changing and you need to act now to protect yourself and your family.

Access information and monitor conditions.

Warning (Watch and Act) - An

emergency is developing nearby.

Make sure you understand Emergency Warning - You are in the three levels of warnings imminent danger and need to act now. Evacuation - An evacuation is and additional messages recommended or procedures are in place to evacuate. such as ‘Evacuate Now’.

Fire ready IT’S increasingly likely that this summer will be one of our hottest on-record ever. Recently, the Bureau of Meteorology announced that last September was one of Australia’s driest overall months since records began in 1900 with drier conditions and less rainfall predicted to continue as part of a likely El Niño summer. These conditions will, unfortunately, be all-too familiar for Gippsland residents who will be preparing themselves for a tough season to come. The Victorian Government is also preparing, locking in a fleet of 50 fire-fighting aircraft for deployment across the state and investing in better equipment and training for our emergency services and volunteer firefighters. There’s plenty you can do to start

preparing for this upcoming bushfire season. Leading up to the season, ensure that you’re on top of your emergency preparedness activities; cutting grass on your property, clearing gutters, removing growth around your house and other dwellings, and removing anything from your property that could be fuel for a fire. It’s also important to know your bushfire plan and make sure it’s up to date. Having a plan makes a big difference - it’s hard to think straight in an emergency, so having a plan ready means you’ll know what you need to do when the time comes. Having an emergency kit of essentials like important documents, medications, a mobile phone (with a charger), face masks, battery torch, radio, money, and clothes will make it much easier to leave if the time comes.

This spring we have already seen significant bushfires in Gippsland and across the state. Summer is just around the corner. Don’t let the dangers of living in a bushfire prone area impact you, your family or your neighbours. If you live in an urban area such as Traralgon, Churchill, Moe or Morwell this also applies to you. The drier than average weather across the state over recent months, combined with the forecasts for summer, suggests that the fire season is likely to start earlier than usual. The fire risk is likely to be higher than it has been in the last couple of years.

It’s also important to know what each level of bushfire warning means, so you know exactly when to be on alert, when you should be prepared, and when it’s time to go.

Your local CFA or FRV brigades can provide helpful local advice on what to keep in mind this summer, and their work is vital to keeping our communities safe during bushfire season. Harriet Shing MP

If you receive a fire prevention notice and don’t understand what is required, please contact Council. Also, if you are having trouble completing the work by the due date, let us know. We might be able to give you an extension.

On hot, dry, windy days, fires can start and spread quickly. If the Fire Danger Rating is Extreme or Catastrophic, leaving early before a fire has started is the safest option.

Services like the VicEmergency app are free and will notify you of any nearby incidents.

Fire season can be a very difficult time for families, and I want to thank the dedicated and hardworking people in our emergency services and our recovery and support organisations who are always at the frontline during a crisis.

Council officers will be conducting fire prevention inspections from early November and throughout the fire danger period as determined by CFA. If necessary, we will issue a fire prevention notice that compels landowners to undertake work to reduce fire risk.

During the fire season, make sure to check Fire Danger ratings and be aware of incidents and threats in your local area.

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore

October 30 - November 5, 2023

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

This week Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus rev up your natural Ram curiosity. So it’s a good time to ask lots of questions, research a project, solve a puzzle, explain a confusing concept or get to the bottom of a perplexing problem. But guard against being too brisk, brusque and impetuous with pedantic people who test your limited patience – especially on Friday and Saturday. Do your very best to be as cool, calm and cooperative as you possibly can.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

Promising opportunities are hovering around, and clever Bulls will examine all possibilities in a sensible and realistic light. With Saturn and Neptune in your hopes-and-wishes zone, it’s important to have a long-term goal that you’re working towards. You need to be patient, though, as you focus on bringing your lofty dreams down to earth via a practical plan. The late week Venus/Neptune link looks confusing, so try to keep a clear head and pace yourself.

GGemini (May 21 - June 20)

The Sun, Mercury and Mars are in your wellbeing zone, so be proactive about finding a fitness routine that keeps you motivated. And choose healthy food options that you actually enjoy! Attached Twins – are you stuck in a relationship rut? Venus and Uranus encourage you to be more adventurous with your partner. Singles – don’t be dazzled by bulging pecs or a substantial bank balance. Look for lasting love with someone who has similar goals and values.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Venus encourages you to contribute more of your time and talents to a worthy cause within your neighbourhood and local community. And Tuesday is a terrific day to welcome a new friend into your extended peer group. The planets also prompt you to text, tweet, post or publish your original ideas to an appreciative audience. But keepp your wits about you,, Crabs,, and avoid getting side-tracked by unrealistic expectations and dubious dreams.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

Courtesy of Venus and Uranus, is it time to retire an outdated relationship (romantic or platonic) so there’s room for a new one? With the Sun, Mercury and Mars in your domestic zone, strive to be more creative, communicative and proactive about a current family problem. Plus adjust your home/work ratio so it’s more balanced. Many domestically inclined Lions are in the mood to clean, declutter, decorate, renovate or cook up a storm at Villa Leo.

Virgo g (Aug 23 - Sep 22) Threee planetary oppositions could exacerbate problems with a loved one, a stressed colleague or a neurotic neighbour, as you misunderstand each other’s motives. Make it a priority to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a clear and compassionate way. It’s a good week to find a new friend, take a trip or plan a holiday, plus cross tasks off your to-do list as you tackle jobs you’ve previously put on the backburner. Creative projects are also favoured.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) This week the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are all stimulating your wealth zone. So tap into the abundance that is all around you – and not just on a financial level. It’s time to combine your outer creativity with your inner strength, so that you shine brightly for all the world to see. Don’t let shyness, self-doubt or lack of confidence hold you back. Strong self-esteem and self-acceptance are your natural birthright, so start blooming, Libra!

Scorpio p (Oct 23 - Nov 21) The Sunn, Mercury and Mars are all in your sign, so sarcasm and sulking are out and buoyant joie de vivre is in! There’s much to look forward to as you attract opportunities, acknowledge a success or celebrate an important milestone. It’s also time to be as proactive and positive as you can manage. So, your mantra for the week is from fellow-Scorpio, Katy Perry: “If you’re presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.” Sagittarius g (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Withh Venus and Uranus activating your career zone, find creative and innovative ways to shine more brightly at work. You’re feeling positive about a challenge but sometimes there’s a fine line between being optimistic and being unrealistic. Wisdom for the week is from painter Pablo Picasso (born on October 25, 1881): “Our goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act.” Capricorn p (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

A chilld, teenager or partner could shock you by making a surprise move, or a group project could suddenly veer off in a confusing direction. If you keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed, then Pluto (in your sign) will help you adjust to the constantly changing landscape. Venus and Uranus activate your education and friendship zones, so stop sulking and stewing over a perceived slight. It’ss time to cooperate, coordinate, compromise and sympathise!

Aquarius q (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

Aquuarians can expect a rollicking ride, as your motivation levels fluctuate. Is a work colleague or loved one being difficult and demanding? Don’t be too hard on them … they have a lot on their plate. Tuesday is terrific for new friendships and falling in love fast, but you’ll feel a bit stir-crazy on the weekend. Try channelling your restless energy into challenging personal projects and adventurous outdoor pursuits, rather than sitting around feeling frustrated.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20) You’re full of innovative ideas and creative schemes – but can you tell the difference between an inspiring daydream and a dodgy delusion? Realistic Saturn (in your sign) urges you to dig deep and set substantial goals that are worthy of your talents. And strive to get the balance right between being impulsive and taking thoughtful action. Spontaneity works sometimes but, at other times, perceptive Pisceans need to adopt a more measured approach.

Community: Traralgon Men’s Shed members constructed honour boards for Gippsland CFA Brigades. Photographs supplied

Traralgon Men’s Shed grant LATROBE community Health Services (LCHS) were delighted to support Traralgon Men’s Shed (TMS) by awarding a $5000 grant covering the cost of materials for making honour boards for Gippsland CFA Brigades. The volunteers of TMS constructed a total of 32 honour boards in a variety of styles, sizes and materials. This four-month project allowed TMS members to contribute to the wellbeing of many communities across Gippsland. The CFA Brigades from East, South and Central Gippsland received honour boards that will record and display history for decades. A total of 32 honour boards were made for 22 CFA Gippsland Brigades. Brigades that accepted the opportunity to receive boards included Tyers, Driffield, Hazelwood North, Yallourn North, Traralgon, Traralgon South, Hyland, Tarwin Lower, Moe South, Nilma North, Dumbalk, Newmerella, Bruthen, Wairewa, Cann River, Callignee, Trida, Mossi Tambo, Leongatha, Baw Baw, Flynn, and Yanakie. As seen last month, CFA Volunteers support

the communities in a variety of ways from fires to floods. TMS members value the contribution of CFA volunteers’, and have not forgotten the CFA volunteers dedication and commitment to the fires of 2019/2020, and that the CFA volunteers supported the Traralgon Men’s Shed after the 2021 flood, when a metre of flood water devastated its shed. If you want to know more about the Traralgon Men’s Shed, drop in and check out the shed. TMS offers individuals a place to engage in hands on activities and to interact with others, and by doing so, develop a sense of meaning and value around the process of completing projects. Through shared experiences in the shed, members make friends, build a network of emotional support and develop a sense of belonging, with the health and wellbeing aspect of the ‘Men’s Shed’ being its greatest benefit. Traralgon Men’s Shed is located 5 Howitt Street and is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 2pm.

Gippsland gambling problem AS Victoria marked Gambling Harm Awareness Week (October 16-22), and year-on-year pokie losses worsen across Gippsland in 2022/23, Latrobe Community Health Service’s (LCHS) gambling harm team is ready to help those concerned with their gambling - or are concerned with someone else’s gambling. “While gambling is meant as entertainment, we know the harm that problem gambling can cause - from financial distress to relationship breakdowns, increased alcohol and drug use, and violence against loved ones,” said LCHS Manager, Addiction Services Teressa Watt said. The theme for Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2023 was ‘Talk. Share. Support', and focused on supporting Victorians so they can have a conversation with someone whose gambling behaviour is becoming a concern. Ms Watt said assistance was available. “We also see first-hand how indiscriminate gambling harm can also be. Honouring this year’s theme, we urge anyone in Gippsland to speak to our Gambler’s Help team who can provide a range of services to support you or your loved ones - from financial and therapeutic counselling to our community engagement program, which works with schools and community groups to educate and raise awareness of problem gambling,” she said.

According to data from the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC), people in Latrobe lost $49.9 million on electronic gambling machines (EGMs) in 2022/23 (financial year) - a 28 per cent increase on the $39 million lost on the pokies in Latrobe in the year before (FY 2021/22). Elsewhere in Gippsland, people across Bass Coast lost $14.7 million on the pokies in 2021/22 (financial year) - worsened in 2022/23 when losses stretched north of $19 million. Problem gambling can cause stress or guilt, difficulties with concentration and trouble sleeping. These effects can build up over time and have a significant impact on an individual’s mental and physical health. Ms Watt said if you recognise any of these ‘symptoms’ in yourself or someone else who gambles, a conversation may be beneficial. “We deliver Gambler’s Help free of charge across Gippsland, offering support to help people get their finances back on track or strategies to take back control of someone’s gambling,” she said. “If you’re feeling down - and believe gambling may be the root cause - do reach out to our friendly team directly on 1800 242 696 or via email on GamblingSupportServices@lchs.com.au. "We can offer a range of support that’s individualised to your needs.”

Catholic teachers celebrated for going above and beyond

STAFF in schools across the Diocese of Sale celebrated World Teachers’ Day last Friday (October 27). Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale, Paul Velten expressed gratitude to educators and all school staff for their passion and commitment to ensure students have the best possible learning opportunities. “World Teachers Day is more than just a celebration. It is an opportunity to celebrate the value of the teaching profession and shine the spotlight on the remarkable teachers, both new and experienced, who are going the extra mile to advance their skills and leadership through professional development or higher degree study,” he said. Over the past year, 39 primary and secondary teachers in the Diocese successfully completed a Master of Education in Evidence-based Teaching (MEBT), while five graduated with a Master of Education and Theology, through sponsored study. In the Latrobe Valley, teachers Karita Cutajar, Camile Johnson and Katie (Kathleen) Kindellan from St Gabriel’s Catholic Primary School, Traralgon, Brandon Mahoney of Lumen Christi Primary School, Churchill, Kate Mitchell and Lara Savige from St Vincent de Paul Primary School, Morwell, recently graduated with a Master of Education in Evidence-based Teaching.

Immaculate Heart of Mary Primary School in Newborough now has five teachers with Master’s degrees. They are: Alyssa-Jane Bell, Jasmin Prestidge, Cory Monckton, Irene Bramstedt and principal Lisa Broeren. Two teachers, Carrie Schembri and Bree Alger are currently studying towards attaining a Master’s degree. Mr Velten said taking up additional studies while teaching shows the dedication these teachers have

in deepening their skills to provide the best possible education for students. “Supporting staff through sponsored study is a major focus of Catholic education," he said. "This encourages teaching excellence, collaboration, and career satisfaction, which helps retain talented individuals within our Catholic schools. "Catholic schools also offer scholarship and bursary programs to support staff career development, while new teachers are supported through

Fun times at Camp Rumbug SACRED Heart Primary School, Morwell Grade 3 and 4 students participated in a camp program recently at Camp Rumbug, near Foster. Their activities included flying fox, bush walking, archery, tree climbing and they also enjoyed indoor games. One highlight was toasting marshmallows to make s’mores around the campfire at night.

It was the Grade 3’s first time at an overnight camp. Students worked together, building on teamwork and encouraging each other to have a go and step outside their comfort zone. All the students did a wonderful job embracing the new challenges and supporting each other, but most importantly everyone had fun.

Traralgon South Billy Cart Derby THIS year, the Traralgon South Men's Shed and Traralgon South Primary School ran their second annual Billy Cart Derby. There was much excitement, fun and laughter as students proceeded to build the Billy Carts from kits, with parents, and men's shed volunteers assisting if needed. The Billy Carts were handed over to the school for artwork and team logos, which the students had spent time planning and designing. Students did a great job in painting their Billy Carts and it was certainly a hard job for the men's shed to judge the best design. With barriers, witches hats, poles, banners, other equipment from Latrobe City Council and tyres

from Traralgon Tyre Service, a spectacular course was set up for students to race on. Students had Latrobe City Councillor Darren Howe cheering them on, along with parents and the local community who turned up to watch the Billy Cart Derby and see some thrills and spills, plus some exciting racing on the day. Students had the opportunity to take the completed Billy Carts home with them afterwards, thanks to the support of the Traralgon South Men's Shed and the obtained grant. On the tools: Havana putting her Billy Cart together under the supervision of her dad, Luke.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

Divine casting: Charles Edwards and Rebecca Gibney in Under the Vines.

UNDER THE VINES ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

The dynamite charms of Rebecca Gibney (Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown) cultivate this quirky and fail-safe comedy of characters about suddenly running an inherited winery in New Zealand, with mixed results. While the characters often tread a predictable path, it’s the free-flowing humour that hooks you in. As season two kicks off, it’s no surprise that season three of this idyllic ensemble comedy is already in production. With the promise of romance between Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) always dangling but yet to ripen, he makes another gallant attempt to save his flailing marriage to Simone (Sara Wiseman, A Place to Call Home).

Across two bounteous episodes, embellished with some of India’s most fascinating and iconic places, historian Bettany Hughes (pictured) finds both wisdom and stunning scenery in this heaving country. It’s a fleeting but invigorating trip worth taking from the comfort of the couch. “It’s not just the what and the how, but the why,” explains Hughes. “I’m asking: “Why do these beautiful places matter?”’ Hughes chats to locals and historians in her quest to see and understand India’s culture and history. It’s an unexpectedly emotional experience in the holy city of Varanasi and the Taj Mahal.

THE FUTURE WITH HANNAH FRY SBS Viceland, Saturday, 6.40pm

MILLION DOLLAR MURDERS Nine, Monday, 9.05pm

British mathematician Hannah Fry (pictured) has been tapping into her considerable nous and curiosity to predict the future in this fascinating series. It has been a compelling, fun and uplifting ride as the forwardthinking millennial investigated and interrogated IT specialists, start-up whizzes, neuroscientists and general geniuses to open up our minds about the ambitious and encouraging possibilities. In tonight’s season final, Fry turns her keen attention to the environment. The planet’s natural landscape and ecosystem may be in trouble, but a revolutionary new conservation concept offers hope. Put on your metaphorical hiking boots for this expansive trip from Japan’s Fukushima to California.

Crime shows and podcasts are a wildly popular genre. From unnerving crime scene photos to witness testimonies and newly discovered evidence, they offer a fascinating, macabre look at the very dark side of human nature. It’s compelling to play armchair detective, putting together the pieces of the puzzling crime to perhaps even solve it. In this cold-case series, retired detective Deborah Wallace is unravelling clues to some of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murders, with the backing of local police, in an effort to finally bring closure and put these cases to bed. Tonight, it’s the case of 26-year-old new mother Lynette White, who was tragically murdered in her Coogee apartment back in 1973.

Top trivia

TENDER Funerals Gippsland held their first trivia at Yallourn Golf Club recently. Andrew 'Deaksy' Deak hosted the event and kept the competition tight with a wide variety of trivia challenges. There were nine tables competing with a fun and festive buzz throughout the whole evening. The community pulled together through silent auctions, raffles and pots of gold to raise a huge profit of just over $2200. Tender Funerals Gippsland thank the Newborough Pub for the first prizes of $30 vouchers for each winner for dinner. The Newby Pub has been helping the group with a space to host monthly meetings right from the beginning, so this is a partnership it feel very lucky to be a part of. Tender Funerals also wished to thank Yallourn Golf Club for use of their fantastic facility. Becs Bites - all things grazing and catering assisted in a great start to the evening by donating a huge grazing platter for 10. This was sold at the start of the night in an auction that set the tone for the fundraising efforts.

Community Corner with Liam Durkin

The volunteer team of Tender Funerals Gippsland would like to thank the community for supporting events. The $2200 will go towards getting Tender Funerals operational costs. If anyone would like to join, please email gippsland@tenderfunerals.com. au for further information.

Photo exhibition

MOE was a boom town following World War 2, its population growing as the SEC expanded its operations in the Latrobe Valley. During this time, George Toye, a local photographer, took photos around the town. After his death, they were donated to the Moe & District Historical Society for safe keeping. Today, they are an important record of that rapid growth, showing the huge expansion in housing and the development of new shops and businesses. Thanks to a Latrobe City Community Grant, a selection of the photos have been enlarged and are now on exhibition at the Moe Library. The exhibition will open this Thursday (November 2) at 2pm by Latrobe City Councillor Sharon Gibson. The public are invited to the opening at the library and can have a look at the photos to see how the town grew. The exhibition will run until the end of the year.

Comedy festival hit returns to Gippsland

Modern twist: Bogan Shakespeare is appearing at GPAC this Saturday. AFTER almost a full year touring, with sold out Melbourne Comedy Festival shows, extra performances due to demand and rave reviews, the award-winning Gippsland Theatre Company HT&E are coming home for a last hurrah with their comedy hit Bogan Shakespeare. The homecoming is set to be a highlight, according to director Phillip Mayer. “We had a hugely successful season in the comedy festival, audiences and reviews were overwhelming, and the tour has been excellent, so of course we have to return to our home to finish the year off," he said. “The show takes much inspiration for the material and hysterical characters from our region and is great fun. "That’s not a put down or a negative,

it just means we have rich material and wonderful characters to draw on right here on our doorstep, which audiences have loved. "It’s was fantastic taking it to the city in one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world, and presenting some home-grown comedy. “Shakespeare is considered the greatest English playwright, and his plays are still hugely popular, being performed around the world, but who actually understands what the heck he was on about? That’s what we’ve been answering because audiences find it confusing, frustrating, boring, irrelevant, incomprehensible and downright stupid. Bogan Shakespeare changes all that, and brings some of his classic works to life in relatable language, that any Aussie can comprehend”.

Photograph supplied

After a tour in 2018 which included The Melbourne Fringe Festival and many awards, the show was described as "funny, irreverent, dramatic, serious, fast and inappropriate". “Many reviewers said this is the treatment and interpretation that every Aussie has been waiting for, and at the same time, some might be outraged by. I think that’s an accurate description. It’s a mix of outrageous, offensive, hysterical and educational," Mr Mayer said. “We present bogan jokes, clever social commentary, and non-stop fun-poking at Shakespeare. We extract insults and humour from his plays, which were actually quite bawdy, and make it fun regardless of people’s exposure to Willy’s works. “It’s Melbourne Comedy Festival style fun. We have a ball on stage,

and audiences come along to have laughs, to be entertained. We don’t take it too seriously, I mean it's inappropriate adult comedy, which is what Shakespeare did. We just give it an Aussie twist. “People use Shakespeare quotes more than you know. This is about bringing The Bard to the backyard”. Bogan Shakespeare is showing at Gippsland Performing Arts Centre this Saturday (November 4) and West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul on Friday, November 10. Tickets for the GPAC show are available online or at the box office by phoning 5176 3333. Warragul tickets can also be purchased online or by phoning 5624 2456.

Inspiring athletes honoured on Moe murals By TOM HAYES

THEY might be hard to spot, but Moe has been given a fresh lick of colour with the addition of two murals. Two murals consisting of inspirational Australian athletes are now on display at Latrobe Valley Self Storage, Moe. One displays Paralympians Dylan Alcott AO alongside Kurt Fearnley AO, with the other showing Matildas’ Sam Kerr and Moe's Teagan Micah. Latrobe Valley Self Storage maintenance man Nigel McGrath worked alongside local artist Maddi Horrocks to not only decide what to plaster on the murals, but what vibe to go for. “We contacted Maddi because we’d seen some work that Maddi has done before and I love that street art, that spray, that sort of finish,” Mr McGrath said. “I’ve been really inspired by Kurt Fearnley and Dylan Alcott, not only for what they do but how they’ve done it and how they go about their life - they drive me.” “I just thought it was awesome to celebrate athletes that inspire everyone in their normal days, and also the younger generation,” Ms Horrocks said.

Mr McGrath spends a lot of his time during the day staring at the yellow and beige of the storage lockers, but now kicks into an extra gear when he arrives to work. “I’m down here all the time, and when you’re looking at yellow sheds all day, it gets boring,” he said. “I come down here now and I’m pumped, I’m down here for probably too long now.” “I love these ones because they’re so bright, I chose really bright, happy

colours so they stand out against the beige looking storage sheds,” Ms Horrocks said. Mr McGrath and Ms Horrocks worked with one another, as she presented him with some potential ideas, combining a few to find their end result. “This could be just the start of things, because the colours are incredible, Teagan Micah’s from Moe, and Sam Kerr - everyone knows Sam Kerr,” Mr McGrath said.

“With Maddi’s ideas, I soon worked out pretty quickly that Maddi’s on a very similar page.” Unfortunately, with the amount of rain that showered over the Latrobe Valley in the past two months, the three-week project was doubled, taking nearly six weeks to complete. The two new additions have sparked a want for more in Mr McGrath’s eyes, with the potential for more murals to pop up in the future. He’s not only hoping to spruce up his own workspace, as he believes Moe could use some colour in other parts of town. Ms Horrocks' talent is nothing to skim past, displaying her skills in other forms, especially during busy times of the year. “I’m planning to do more (murals), so I mainly just do murals and I also do window art for businesses around town - Christmas is crazy. I do a lot of in-home murals like kid’s rooms, holiday houses and Airbnb’s,” she said. People are able to come and see the murals in person on weekdays between 7.30am and 4.30pm at 168 Waterloo Road, Moe.

Presenting two wellknown artists in the Baw Baw Art Alliance BAW Baw Arts Alliance is an energetic, not for profit organisation of artists and those interested in the arts. It is the alliance that runs the Warragul Arts Market during the warmer months. The first of these was off to a wonderful start on the third Saturday in October, so expect an even more interesting one this month. With more than 50 stalls operated by artists, there is a huge range of quality, locally produced creative works available for people to purchase. One such Artist is Darren Crouch, who creates exciting, high quality metal art in Warragul. Like all the stallholders at the arts market, Darren is enthusiastic and informative about his art. The next arts market is Saturday, November 18 in Warragul. For market stallholders, see bawbawartsalliance.org.au/newcms52/Meet-our-Stallholders

Creative: Darren Crouch at the most recent arts market in Warragul at his metal work stall. Photograph supplied Also during the month of November at ‘The Station Gallery’ in Yarragon, two well-known artists are exhibiting new works. Cheryl Cook has been dabbling in ‘Nature’s Alchemy’ to produce fascinating works using natural inks and dyes. Sharon Wooton has once again taken to canvas with her extraordinary talent and painted a range of interpretative portraits in an exhibition called ‘What’s Your Story’. Both artists are sharing an official opening and celebration of their work this Saturday (November 4) from 2pm at The Station Gallery. The website of the alliance is now hosting a new initiative called ‘Catchment - Poetry of Place’ where poets are invited to contribute work focussing on locations in Australia and overseas. This initiative has largely been the work of poet Rodney Williams who conducts the ‘Time to Write’ drop in group at Artspace 1 in Trafalgar Railway Station each Wednesday from 10.30am. A very exciting initiative for artists is the ‘Three Course Progressive Art Play’ to take place on Friday, December 1 commencing at 10.30am at Trafalgar Railway Station. Here, people can watch artists create their art. For more information on the Baw Baw Arts Alliance, visit bawbawartsalliance.org.au

Working dogs take over Gippsland

THE popularity of working dogs like Border Collies and Kelpies is on the rise. Their instinct and skill for mustering livestock is second to none. The value they bring to safe and effective farming is once again being realised. They are also fierce competitors when put to the test in competitions. This month, the best working dogs will be taking

over Gippsland in two of the best working dog competitions in Victoria. From November 11 to 13 at the South Eastern Victorian Sheep Dog Trial at Korumburra Showgrounds, and then from November 17 to 19 at Berryden Sheep Dog Trial and Victorian Working Dog Arena Championship at Boolarra Recreation Reserve.

Veteran’s Art Display at Tgon RSL By KATRINA BRANDON

LIFE as a first responder or veteran can have many life changing aspects that challenge your everyday life in the future. From November 7 to 10, RSL Traralgon is holding a Veteran’s Art Display exhibit featuring many mediums in the theme of Remembrance Day. Artist Damon Craig said “the plan with the RSL is for Veterans Welfare and rehab, and sports. We are now starting to look at things like yoga and art, those other avenues for rehab and just mental health impediment”. “It is also about us connecting with the community as well. It’s pushing the veterans’ welfare further forward through art, not just sport.” This year is the first year Traralgon RSL is holding the exhibition and they are excited to see the outcomes and community support, as well if there are any veterans and first responders that would like to join for the next exhibition to come. Traralgon RSL Welfare Officer, Jan Young, said that painting and many other hobbies are great for emotional release, and opens them up to the ability to either talk or paint their stories. Artist Daniel Fletcher built on this by saying that doing art together is a great conversation starter into their experiences and is one way to helping each other get through those experiences. Mr Craig said “it is a great hobby to grab paint, grab material and to just create something even if it is just fun and it is also about making a positive from those strange emotions we have acquired in our service time”. “I tend to take something that didn’t go so

course consisting of three obstacles and a pen. The course is intended to show the heightened the skills of the sheep dog required in a typical working environment. Sheep dog trials are used by farmers and working dog handlers to hone the instinct and skill of their dogs so they become valuable workers for herding and mustering livestock. The South Eastern Victorian Sheep Dog Trial is a staple event in Gippsland. For three days the Korumburra Showgrounds’ will give up its role as the town’s football and cricket ground and be taken over by working dogs and sheep. Competitors from all over Victoria and interstate will camp out at the showgrounds creating a very social and engaging event. The Victorian Sheep Dog Arena Championship is a prestigious event that has working dogs scoring points towards The Australian Dog of the Year competition. Finalists from the Berryden trial will fight it out this year at Boolarra to become the Victorian Sheep Dog Arena Champion.

At each event more than 100 dogs will be competing with their handlers. Over the three days they will take on more than 400 sheep, each dog having to work three sheep at a time around a set course. The pressure builds as each dog has only 15 minutes to complete the course and is judged on it’s ability to handle the sheep through the obstacles. Spectators will be mesmerised as dog, sheep and handler work in synergy to combine instinct, skill, and patience to find out who will be champion dog. The dogs are the stars of the show. While they may seemingly look alike, each one is a character unto their own and it shows as they contend with the often-uncooperative sheep. The sport of working sheep dog trials arose from healthy competition between farmers and their dogs and, over time it has become a worldwide sport. The purpose of the sheep dog trial is to demonstrate the skill of the handler in positioning the dog to where it’s required and guiding the dog’s natural instincts while it’s herding three sheep around a

Statistics show that Russell Northe IT is with a heavy heart I write. Most would have heard by now on the sentencing of our past Member for Morwell, Russell Northe. While I am not condoning what Russell did, we need to remember, neither has Russell. He put his hand up and said he had done the wrong thing and that takes guts. He also did not try and get off, he pleaded guilty and showed his remorse. Most do not understand the mental illness of addiction that Russell was/is suffering and this took over from the real Russell who we know and love, whom helped so many people. Once he was diagnosed with his mental illness, he had done everything he could to not only help himself, he also took the time to help others suffering from addiction. It took courage to stand up and take ownership of the mistakes he made - very few people would likely do the same. We need to also remember that Russell was a brilliant local member who was always approachable, listened to everyone and went to so many local events. He was the epitome of a local member. So before you hang him out to dry, just think how many have never done the wrong thing? Sadly, Russell is not alone in his addictions as the statistics show, and as a community we need to recognise the scourge on society that addictions have on the whole community as it is a ripple effect from family, friends, to the community. With just the online gambling addiction, one in 10 men are either at risk of developing a gambling addiction or already have one. What has become more tragically evident is the damage this addiction is having on our kids. Nearly 20 per cent of Australians aged between 15 to 17 have placed a bet in the past 12 months. The stem on from this is just devastating, one in five adults having a gambling problem, starting before they were 18. When the stats are this bad, something clearly isn’t working and we need to treat the addictions. Sharon Gibson Latrobe City Councillor

Picking up the pieces

POLITICS of late have become quite tiresome and boring, but three of your letter writers from the LV Express (25/10/23) cannot go unanswered. Firstly, let's look at Oscar Machen, ALP Assistant Secretary Morwell Branch and John Duck of Trafalgar, who both have had a whine about the outcome of the referendum. Oscar admittedly was not as vitriolic about the loss as John Duck, but both I would have thought would be supportive of Senator Jacinta Price in having an audit to see where the $40 billion a year is getting spent on Aboriginal issues and why that money isn't going to where it should be and to the people that really need it. Let's actually have a look at the Voice document, one front page that's the Uluru Statement, but let's forget about the other pages that underpin the first page. They're actually the nitty gritty of Voice, treaty, repatriation, etc. The voting public were made aware of the real Voice by some of the Voice architects who dumbly made their desires and wanted outcomes on social media. It was also not helped by the likes of Thomas Mayo, Marcia Langton, Ray Martin and the remarks by Noel Pearson about Senator Price on the ABC. Imagine if a liberal politician had said the same things about Linda Burney - the left wing media and the pompous Labor and Green politicians would be baying for blood.

As for John Duck saying "uneducated, unhelpful, entirely subjective and facile commentary and give themselves an uppercut", I suggest maybe he should have a look in the mirror and hope the winds not blowing. Comments like what John said don't go well to foster reconciliation and sympathy towards our Aboriginal brother and sisters. Thirdly, Garry Mitchell of Yallourn North having ago at Roy Foenander. Well Mr Foenander can defend himself, but what cannot go unanswered is the comment "Roy, do you remember back to the Kennett years and the reasons we now pay high prices for electricity?" Well I can remember, John Cain and Joan Kirner sent the state broke and Kennett came in and had to fix the mess, much to the disappointment of a lot of people and myself, who didn't want to see the loss of our public assets. One of the great lies played out by Labor supporters is Kennett sold the SECV. Well he did finish it, but he didn't start the sell off. That falls squarely at the feet of the Cain, Kirner government and David White was the Energy Minister when they started the sell off of Loy Yang B (now Alinta Energy). Why do I know, well as the saying goes, I was in the room so to speak, as the Morwell Sub Branch Secretary of the FEDFA (later to become CFMEU) and on the state FEDFA and CFMEU State Committee's of Management . Sad to say, but it appears another Labor government is doing their best to bankrupt the state and destroy the Latrobe Valley's and Victorian Energy supply and reliability. Neil Reid Traralgon

Farewell to an Express legend

IF you’ve received the Express in the past 35 years, there’s one reason why and he has a name - Paul Grant. Granty, as he was known to those who were lucky to know him, was tasked with taking the stories written by journalists and putting them on the page and making sure the Express was the attractive paper it’s always been. He was a stickler for quality, believed that a newspaper should look as good as it reads and helped mentor generations of journalists. Last year he reached a retirement he deserved but should have enjoyed more. His family was his reason for being and I’m heartbroken for them. The Latrobe Valley has lost a quiet servant. Granty, you won’t be forgotten. Jarrod Whittaker Former Latrobe Valley Express Editor

of the heavy lifting for projects which made a real difference. Bizarrely, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Catherine King has failed to deliver money for future rounds of the program which was popular with Members of Parliament on both sides of the chamber. The Minister’s own department says on its website: “All Rounds of the SCP have been very successful, with a wide variety of projects funded including upgrades to community halls and clubhouses, equipment for both aged care and day care facilities, men's sheds and associated equipment, scoreboards, computers, inflatable rescue boats and disaster recovery generators.” The program was so successful it’s been abandoned by Minister King. Sadly, in the middle of a cost of living crisis, the pressure is going to fall on volunteers to raise more money and local governments to fund thousands of additional projects because this Minister thinks Canberra knows best, and she doesn’t trust local communities to make good decisions. Darren Chester Federal Member for Gippsland Shadow Minister for Local Government and Regional Development

Put to better use

CREDIT to Greg Hansford of Newborough for his letter Sums Don't Add Up in the Express (25/10/23). He pointed to the real reason many of us voted "No" in the referendum. It was not that Aboriginals don't deserve acknowledgment in the Constitution. They do. Rather it was because of the tremendous waste by the Aboriginal 'industry'. It has seen many "First Nations activists, ... [become] multi-millionaires, seemingly courtesy of the public purse". At the same time, many Aboriginals in remote communities live in poverty. Money is plainly not going where it's needed, a pattern repeated over and over. Remember the waste and corruption of ATSIC?

Why on earth would thinking people sanction a constitutionally-cemented version of that? We're not that silly. Jenny Tame Gormandale

Voice needed greater clarity

I WRITE in reply to a contribution published in the Express (25/10/23) by Oscar Machen. Mr Machen, in your letter, you quoted statistics and reflected on your perceptions of the 2023 Referendum result. Perhaps former United Kingdom Prime Minister Benjamin Disreali's quote is relevant. He is credited with saying "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics." Mr Machen, the voting figures authorised by the Australian Electoral Commission highlight a grim reality for Labor. In the combined Electorates of Monash (formerly McMillan) and Gippsland, the total number of enrolled electors was 231,021. Only 64,449 voted Yes, in effect a mere 27.9 per cent of voters, scarcely more than a quarter of the region. This Labor Referendum was first read in The House of Representatives on March 30, 2023 - it was flawed from start to finish. It's wording lacked clarity, arousing suspicion. Worse still, it failed to hold Constitutional Conventions, having the effect of excluding participation and ownership by all Australians. Then as the October 14 polling date approached, the referendum divided voters with party political spin and lame advertising strategies. I think every Australian wants to improve access to better health, education, housing and opportunity for Aboriginal Peoples. However, the Voice's misleading rhetoric, guilting themes and undefined Constitutional entitlements/ powers, turned an initially commendable ideal into a very questionable and unsupportable choice. Thomas Quinn Moe

Get with the program

WHAT could be fairer than a federal government grant program which offers $150,000 for every electorate each year for small community projects? The Stronger Communities Program (SCP) was developed by the former Coalition government and provided $175 million to more than 15,000 small projects across the nation. The beauty of the program was local communities were able to decide their local priorities, and they leveraged their own fundraising money, with some direct support from the federal government. The SCP was successful because it took pressure off local councils and community groups to do all

Negative effects: Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has taken aim at Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Catherine King over the abandoned Stronger Communities Program.

wasn’t alone in gambling addiction Dismayed

ON Friday morning, October 20, I went to the ATM out the front of Mid Valley, looked down and spotted a Medicare card, ambulance card, bank credit card and Health Care card. I saw the address and as it was local thought that I would deliver them to the owner as I guessed they would be frantic and as it was Friday, they would have to cancel all their cards - no money for the weekend and at least three-four days to get new cards for the others. My partner and I drove over, only to meet with someone very ungrateful. We knocked on the door and I said showing her the cards “I think these are yours”. All she could say was “hmpph, how come you have them?” I tried to explain that when I was taking money from the ATM I spotted them and thinking if they were mine I would have been frantic as there was no way over the weekend was it possible for me to buy anything, especially if I really needed food for my family. The rest of the cards I could wait for. “How did you know my address?” came the response. By this time I was quite stressed and answered “by the address on your Health Care card”. No thank you or how kind - she went to go inside. I commented on her garden how lovely the roses were. She slammed the door, not even a thank you or “it is so nice someone so honest has been kind enough to take the time to return them”. She said I hadn’t missed what a time I could have had especially seeing that I am on a low income, boy what fun I could have had on this credit card, only that growing up we were taught honesty, respect and a very valuable word was - kindness. Would I do it again? You bet I would. It’s not only the young ones who are ungrateful. Janet Harris Morwell

One day, Adonis was gored by a wild boar during a hunting trip and died in Aphrodite’s arms as she wept; the first red roses were said to have sprung up from his blood as it soaked into the earth, staining the nearby white roses a deep crimson. This helps to explain how red roses came to be inextricably linked to romantic love (and adorn millions of Valentine’s Day cards every year). The idea is that such love transcends death and lives on beyond the lover’s own short lives. Joseph Lis Morwell

No one should suffer

WE write to your newspaper from the key notfor-profit, Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia, with some important messages for your readers. We know that many Australians have mental health issues. Unfortunately, thousands and thousands of Australians are not getting help for those issues. All too often, people end up in a hospital or an emergency department out of desperation because they just do not know where to go. Our latest awareness campaign highlights the massive neglect of people in Australia who have a mental illness just has to stop.

We specifically want to highlight to readers that if you know somebody having difficulties with mental health issues, the first key thing to do is accept there may well be a problem and then reach out and see your GP. Your GP will be able to give you all kinds of practical suggestions on how to best handle complex situations. We would also like to let readers know that we have a special not-for-profit network called Finding North. Put simply, it is a growing community on the internet that links people with mental health issues with others in a similar situation so that they can share their experiences. To get information, just go to findingnorth.org.au It is estimated there are at least 154,000 Australians with a severe or complex mental illness. We specifically highlight to readers, please do not suffer in silence. Ask your GP for support and help and visit Finding North. It is free for all readers to visit and can make a world of difference. Tony Stevenson Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia National CEO

What political representation

Don’t be too proud

IT is financially tough out there for some more than others. In my work as part of the Salvos Moneycare team, I see lots of people who have been weighed down emotionally by their financial situation. I see the way the constant thinking about how to juggle expenses keeps us on edge. It’s not good for us mentally, physically or spiritually. Indeed, recent research from The Salvos shows that people’s mental health is the top concern for 73 per cent of our clients across the country. Many Aussies are struggling to cope, and this cost-of-living crisis shows no signs of letting up any time soon. That’s why we are here, to help when life is getting a bit too much. I get a bit sad when people think “a financial counsellor is not for me”, or worse “they’ll think I’m overreacting”. Because it’s just not true. Financial counselling is a free, non-judgmental service where a qualified person listens to your financial situation and works with you to take control of your money. We can work with lenders, utility providers and, most critically, with you to develop plans and skills to better navigate the path to financial wellbeing. Someone who accessed Moneycare up in Queensland told us “I feel less stressed. I didn’t know there was this help available. I can’t believe how great you have been. I have a pathway to take away worry and concern”. That is what we are all about here at The Salvos. By empowering you to get your financial wellbeing back on track, Financial Counselling can be a way to make anyone - yes, anyone - have the freedom to make choices to allow you to enjoy life. We are here to help. Kristen Hartnett National Head of Moneycare

Have your say

MORWELL has certainly been blessed with quality members of Parliament in recent times. Last week, a former Morwell MP was jailed for trying to defraud the system. Now, Harriet Shing denies knowing anything about lawyers being called in to look into the Commonwealth Games. Morwell could be a prosperous part of the world if we had politicians who gave a damn and accepted their limitations. Nationals MPs seem to side with big business when it comes to ripping off consumers, and the jailed MP wasn't happy with the huge salary we paid him, so he stole more from the taxpayer to feed his gambling addiction. I urge all voters to stop voting for the same useless candidates and vote for politicians who know who they are meant to be representing. It is not too late to make Morwell great but we won't achieve this goal if we continue to vote in people who aren't up to the job. Patrick Ansell Morwell

Sporting talent in Teachers’ Games SPORT By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

ONE, two, three eyes on me said teachers during the most recent school holidays as the annual Victorian Teachers' Games (VTG) took place across several Latrobe City venues including the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium (GRISS). Over the Term 3 break from Sunday, September 17 to Wednesday, September 20 education staff from across Victoria came to the GRISS to showcase their sporting talent. The VTG is a major multi-sport event on the education calendar and gives professionals a chance to connect and socialise through a broad range of sporting, recreation, wellness and social events. Educators across Victoria view the event as a unique way to build team morale and improve staff health and wellbeing. Participants can enter as an individual or group in more than 35 activities. Project officer of the Victorian Teacher's Games, Adam Drinkwell said this year's games were the first time the event had come to Gippsland for over a decade. "The first edition of the Games started in 1996 down in Geelong, so this is the 26th edition ... but this will be the first time we've been to Latrobe City since the early 2000s," he said. With recent upgrades and developments of local infrastructure in the build up to the cancelled Commonwealth Games, the Latrobe City was identified as an ideal host venue. Mr Drinkwell said schools from as far as Echuca, Shepparton and Bendigo came to stay, eat and play in the region. "We (had) nearly 1200 across the four days and

they participated in 35 different events in a range of recreation, sporting and wellness activities," Drinkwell said. Teachers and staff could participate in a range of activities from meditation to dodgeball, there was a little something for everyone. Participants from far and wide often compete in multiple events, providing a massive tourism opportunity for the region. Though the Victoria School Sports team will conduct a study to find out how much economic activity the event attracted, it is estimated that the Latrobe Valley will receive close to $2 million in economic activity as a result of the Games. Additionally, School Sport Victoria said Gippsland and Latrobe Valley schools have really got behind this years event in their backyard. "We've had a good representation from Gippsland schools and Latrobe Valley based schools as well, we've seen nearly a 300 per cent increase on the last year of engagement from Gippsland schools," Drinkwell said. Social lawn bowls attracted 400 people, being among the most popular of events and in six sessions of netball more than 350 educational professionals chose to don the colourful bibs and give their best 'here if you need!'. People working in all sectors and employment of the education system from educational support, relief teachers and administration came down to the Games to connect and show off their athletic ability. Chief executive of School Sport Victoria Hilary Shelton said the region was selling its charm. "Their showing off their home towns," she said in regard to the high participation rate of Gippsland schools," she said. Amid the education sectors widespread concern of teacher shortages, under staffing and burnout,

the Victorian Teachers' Games offered a great opportunity for staff to relax, rewind and reconnect. "It certainly gives the the teachers something to look forward to it gives them some motivation before they head back into Term 4 - lets them relax and spend time with each other," Shelton said "No one understands how much pressure they have in their jobs other than the other people who do the job, so I guess it's a lot of camaraderie and support for each other - it is a good boost for their mental health and wellbeing." School Sport Victoria extended a warm gratitude to Latrobe City Council who were eager to host the event. Latrobe City Council proudly welcomed more than 1000 Victorian educators to the region for the 2023 Victorian Teachers’ Games, after securing a two-year agreement as host. Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan said the two-year hosting agreement will have enormous economic benefits and boost tourism to the region. “We welcomed the opportunity to host the Victorian Teachers Games in Latrobe City as it has given us the opportunity to attract new visitors and showcase what our Gippsland region has to offer," the Mayor said. "It also provides great support for our accommodation and hospitality businesses. “It was fantastic to see many of our valued local education staff play sport, connect with other Victorian teachers and build team morale. We are looking forward to welcoming the Games and participants back again next year and continuing our reputation as a destination for major events.” Council is eager to welcome everyone back next year.

Locals score at champs SWIMMING

Gippy United reserves break 33-year hoodoo

SOCCER By SOLOMON NASH

GIPPSLAND United reserves were presented the opportunity to win a historic league title in the final match of the men's State League 1 season. United replayed their Round 14 encounter with Richmond on Saturday, September 2, which was postponed earlier in the season. Title challengers Malvern defeated Richmond during the week, which placed them two points above United. This meant a win against Richmond would seal the club's first reserve league title since 1990. It ended up being a true demolition job, as United thumped Richmond 9-1 away from home. After finishing seven points behind last year's winners at the end of the 2022 season, United's recent victory and consequential league title triumph was all the more sweeter. The game began quite cagey, as United didn't see much of the ball. Richmond controlled possession, but United didn't mind, as their pressing power shone through as it had all year long, a definite hallmark that has typified how this great reserves side has gone about their business. The breakthrough finally came from a Daniel Edey pearler. It was the pick of the bunch on the day as he curled his shot into the top left corner. It was a mightily crucial goal, as once the first went in, the floodgates well and truly opened up. Gippsland were in the driving seat as they added two more goals, the first from the second phase of a set piece in which Cooper Farr scrambled the ball over the line before any Richmond player could clear. Matt Gauci then smartly drew a foul in the box,

and Edey tucked away the resultant penalty kick. Richmond had a player sent off after this third goal, making a Gippsland win almost a certainty. But the home side then got a chance from the penalty spot themselves. The spot kick was converted, but United scored one more before the break - a hattrick goal from Edey as he followed in a long-range shot with a true striker's instinct to tap home his 16th of the season and restore United's three-goal buffer. Richmond's goal wouldn't live long in the memory of anyone involved, as it meant very little due to United's ruthlessness in the second half. The soon-to-be champions, on their procession to the title, showed why they deserved this honour, piling on five second-half goals. Jobie Heusmann scored the first of five, adding his sixth goal of the season with a beautiful free kick from the edge of the box that he dipped under the crossbar. Edey scored another goal late in the half to secure his status as the outright league-leading goalscorer in the reserves division. Connor McClusky managed to grab his first goal of the season by making a smart run to the front post before he finished past the keeper with a nice flick. Lucas Vick, who has been one of many young stars to help the reserves team win the league, also scored his first-ever senior goal. He showed great resilience after missing a few chances initially. Vick wasn't going to leave the pitch without a goal to his name, as he scored with unerring accuracy into the bottom right corner. Paul Cooper rounded out the goals with his third of the season. Returning to the field after being out through injury can only be described as timely for the reserves side as his hold-up play, experience,

LOCAL swimmers Andrew Crozier and Shannon Lorimer placed successfully first to third in all combined 15 races (four relays and 11 individual) at the Master's Swimming Victoria State Championships at MSAC recently. Andrew had a stellar first meet, taking home four gold medals in the 100 metre and 200m butterfly, and 50m and 100m freestyle. He also narrowly missed the state and national record in the 200m butterfly.

goals and assists up front proved invaluable. Gippsland United were crowned champions of the men's State League 1 South East Reserves League for 2023. The celebrations ensued on the pitch, in the change rooms and well into the night. Some of the following underlying statistics of Jason Dastey's side this season give evidence to their dominance in the league. They kept 10 clean sheets all season, the most of any side. They won 16 games, drew four, and only lost two for a grand total of 52 points. They conceded only 20 goals all season, the next best being 31. Dastey utilised 12 players during the season under the age of 21, most being regular starters. United's reserves had 15 different goalscorers throughout the campaign. After the success of the reserves, the senior team had their sights set on sending Richmond down to State League 2, as they required at least a point on the day to avoid relegation. Playing for survival buoyed them as they won 3-0, a disappointing end to an overall impressive season for United's seniors, who played some stunning football and picked up some top results throughout the season. But it was all about the reserves on the day. Their achievement was truly a testament to the spirit of the playing group and Dastey as leader and coach. This also gives great value to the decision to amalgamate various football clubs as one organisation. It shows that there is a pathway for young talent at Gippsland United, where they can now develop and progress from junior to senior football. This was a special moment for the club, during the men's team's 60th year anniversary, and it's one that will live on forever.

Success: Swimmers Shannon Lorimer and Andrew Crozier put in some great swims at the recent Master’s event.

FOOTBALL/NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND BY ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC AND TOM HAYES

NORTH GIPPSLAND Football-Netball League award winners were crowned in the lead up to Grand Final back in September. The counts took place at Sale Greyhound Club, and saw Churchill and Traralgon Tyers United among the most successful clubs for individual achievements. The senior vote count resumed at Round 10, with Churchill's Chris 'Squid' Williams leading on 13 votes, TTU's Liam Willaton in close proximity on 12 and Woodside's Lee Stockdale on 11. Williams was unable to win the best-and-fairest due to a suspension received in Round 13, so Willaton was the provisional leader. Ahead of Round 16 when Williams was due to

return for Churchill, he still couldn't play because of the bye, and by that point he was surpassed on the leaderboard. Willaton had risen to 21 votes, with Stockdale on 20, while Williams was stranded on 16. Stockdale's Wildcat teammate Ryan Foat came into contention, which saw him rise to third on the leaderboard with two rounds to go on 18 votes. Willaton picked up two votes in Round 17 against Glengarry to take him to 23 votes, all while Woodside had the bye, so Stockdale or Foat couldn't contest. Into the final round of the season, Willaton held a three-vote lead, needing just one vote to seal the Sel Burley Medal. Woodside played Yarram at home and Stockdale collected two votes to go up to 22, seemingly sealing it for Willaton. Willaton scraped through by the skin on his teeth, not picking up any final votes in TTU's Round 18 clash against Churchill, crowning him the 2023 North Gippsland FNL senior best-and-fairest. "I'm pretty stoked and over the moon, there's some fantastic players in the league, so I'm happy about that," Willaton said upon receiving the Sel Burley Medal and trophy. "Coaches, thank you for trusting me, I'm a smaller body, so coming up against some big bodies it takes some trust." IN the A Grade netball vote count, Churchill's star midcourter Rachael Loechel took home the gold after a stellar season. Returning from the birth of her second child, Loechel came back to take on the season. And that she did - captaining her side to a Grand Final. The Cougars took to Facebook to congratulate Loechel on an outstanding season. "Captain of the team and mother of two - Rach knows how to get hard work done amongst the busy mum life, and we are extremely proud of her!" the post read. By Round 10, Loechel had a handy lead with 17 votes, and Glengarry's Tiffany Boatman not far behind on 13. After some incredible performances, Loechel was seven votes in the clear by Round 14 and went on to win with 30 votes.

Young gun: Netball rising star Oakleigh Riley. "To be honest it was quite a surreal feeling, to see my own name on the leaderboard alongside so many talented netballers," Loechel said. "You always hope to play your best each week, and for me I’ve just really wanted to do a consistent job for the team. "I feel extremely lucky to play alongside such a wonderful group of girls, and I think this award is reflection of how much I’ve enjoyed playing this year and it’s a credit to the team, the CFNC club and it’s supporters." Heyfield's young gun defender Jayde Parsons was the runner-up on 24 votes in her first season of A Grade, while Boatman finished third with 22 votes to her name. The NGFNL also awards TRFM Rising Star Awards - a great opportunity for young athletes to be recognised for their achievements. This award provides a platform for young players to showcase their skills and abilities and to be acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to their sport. The 2023 Rising Stars winners were Churchill A Grader Oakleigh Riley and Team of the Year inductee Liam Heasley from Heyfield.

SHANNEN Lange is now in esteemed company. The Sale midfielder took out this year’s Trood Award and Rodda Medal as the best player in the Gippsland League. A three-vote game in the final round saw him leapfrog previous winner Tom Marriott of Leongatha, and Moe midfield maestro Riley Baldi. Lange ended the count on 17 votes, two clear of the next best. His Sale teammate Jack McLaren also had an outstanding season, and finished in the top five on 14 votes. The pair traded votes at times during the count, in what was a breakout year for McLaren. The win made it two gongs in three years for Lange, who came back home to the Magpies in 2021. He played 18 games this season and kicked 28 goals, spending more time forward as a spate of injuries meant Sale was forced to adapt. Moe's Riley Baldi capped off an outstanding season by finishing runner-up. The midfielder's effort to only fall short by two votes was absolutely commendable considering he only played 11 home-and-away games for his home club after spending the first part of the season with Casey in the VFL. There can be little doubt if Baldi played with Moe all season, he absolutely would become the first Lion since James Blaser in 2017 to win the league award. Baldi did however win Moe's club best and fairest - the Alby Law Medal, named after the Lions' Team of the Century coach. Moe Football-Netball Club life member and Alby Law's son, Brad, presented the award at the Lions' recent presentation night held at Moe Turfside. In a nice touch, Riley joined twin brother Trent as a Moe senior best-and-fairest winner. With Trent having won the award last year, their names will appear one after another on the honour board. Amazingly, Lange was not named in the best by his club in the final round, while Wonthaggi’s Ryan Sparkes, who won the league’s MVP (voted on by both coaches from the game) by some distance, finished outside the top 10. The adage that different people see the game differently perhaps rang very true in those instances. Sale has now produced four of the previous six Trood Award and Rodda medalists. Jack Lipman won the award in 2019, and Kane Martin in 2017. Lange joins illustrious company with Sale great Bob Mason as the only other Magpie to win two league best-and-fairests. Other Sale players to win the Trood Award and Rodda Medal are John Nix (1957), Adrian Cox (2008) and Luke Collins (2012). The Gippsland League senior best and fairest is named after former Sale player Victor Trood and Morwell’s Fred Rodda. Trood played 41 games for University in the VFL, and donated an award to the league in 1928 and continued to do so for many years. He went on to become the inaugural president of the Latrobe Valley Football League (Gippsland League) in 1954, and was inducted as a life member in 1959. Rodda tragically died from internal injuries in 1935, leading the then Central Gippsland Football League to rename its best and fairest award the Rodda Medal the following season. After the CGFL disbanded and the remaining clubs joined the LVFL, the names Trood and Rodda were enshrined onto the one award.

VALLEY Power took two netball teams to this years Australian Masters Games in Adelaide on October 7. The Power women were predominantly Latrobe Valley players, three South Gippsland players and some Melbourne players to round off the teams. The two teams competed in the 55-and-over and 60-and-over age divisions. Both teams competed fiercely throughout the week with some very strong wins to finish strong on the ladder with the 55’s division finishing second and the 60’s division finishing third. The Valley Power had a very successful week at the masters but not without injury dramas which left both teams quite depleted in numbers for the medal play-offs. After the finals matches with mixed results, both teams secured a place to play for a Bronze medal in each age division. Competition was fast and furious for both age groups. The 55’s team were successful playing against a very experienced Adelaide team. Adelaide's Old Gold team were a fierce adversary but the Valley women had the power to storm home to win 26 to 22 bringing home the Bronze medal. The over 60's team had a tough task competing for their Bronze medal. While they fought hard against the talented Koaki Adelaide team, the 60's team just fell short. In the end, the over 60's Power team went down 23-30, finishing fourth overall.

Classy event EIGHT BALL By KATRINA BRANDON

LOOKING down the barrel, steadying your hands and with specific shooting, you shoot your shot. This is the biggest and greatest 8 Ball competition in Australia, nay the world. Recently, Australia’s best and some global winners were up to the challenge for the Gippy Cup 8 Ball Competition at Gippsland Regional Sports Complex (GRSC) in Sale. Over the weekend, 53 teams of seven people took part in the competition in four divisions. Division 1’s Young Guns took the top spot for the weekend, with Pool Hub not too far behind them. Sadly, Traralgon’s team Rack took a hit down the ladder to seven out of eight spots, winning only two rounds. Traralgon’s best, Steve Halliday, said that overall, the teams this year were much stronger than previous years, with quality going up all the time. “I have done competitions from all over Australia and can say in my 18 years of playing that this competition is the best I have played in,” he said. The majority of the crowd at the competition greatly appreciated all the work gone into the competition, with most saying it is one to beat. Division 2 stood with Sloths holding their heads high with six wins and three losses. For most, this was an opportunity to talk with those they have met over the years and catch up. Some teams consisted of people from South Australia, Queensland and even one with a player from the UK’s world competition. Keeping teams mixed, there were local members in most teams coming from Sale, Morwell, Traralgon, Churchill, Bairnsdale and Yallourn North.Even World Competition player Jake McCartney made an appearance. Overall, each player kept their stance and shot their best throughout the days.

The program encourages children to participate in

physical activity and maximises support for families who face additional barriers to participating in community sport. “With the cost of living crisis, this is a small help that can improve our children’s health and wellbeing opportunities.” For voucher recipients to be eligible, they must be aged 18 and under, a Victorian resident, named on a valid Commonwealth Health Care Card or

Pies swooping to outright CRICKET CLV PREMIER A BY LIAM DURKIN

SCORES at opposite ends of the scale highlighted Premier A action in Cricket Latrobe Valley at the weekend. Round 4 saw the first of two day matches in the new league, as players settled in for the long haul. CLASS is permanent. Lee Stockdale showed every bit of the class that saw him dominate Traralgon District cricket for more than a decade, scoring an unbeaten 153 for Ex Students against Moe. The former Victoria Country captain made the ultimate first impression, batting most of the innings as the Sharks declared with 253 on the board. While a player the calibre of Stockdale batting on Ted Summerton Reserve was probably always a recipe for runs, the fact the next highest score was 26 underpinned just how grand an innings it was. “Any danger boys?” Stockdale found himself in the middle after Ex Students lost two early wickets courtesy of some polite bowling by Clinton Taylor, before putting on a couple of partnerships with skipper Jimmy Pryde and Mitch Harris. In a week where Stockdale’s brother Michael was appointed senior coach of Woodside District Football-Netball Club, his ton added to a big few days for the family. It is worth noting Stockdale crafted out a proper innings, with his 153 coming off 232 balls. Further to that, Moe didn’t bowl terribly either after electing to do so at the toss. Most of their bowlers went at threes in what could have been seen as simple, good two day cricket where both sides enjoyed periods of momentum. Left arm orthodox Callum Grant put in a 29-over shift and finished with 3/70 with seven maidens, while Taylor took 2/33. The Sharks decided to have a crack at Moe before stumps, challenging the Lions to see out three overs. Ex Students got the wicket they desired, and will go into Day 2 with a bit of a head start. While it is said the period just before stumps is the worst time to bat, that argument could be challenged when you consider the time of day most, if not all, people bat at training. With 253 to get, the Lions will now turn to their top order to negotiate the pace of Harris and bowling machine-like accuracy of Adam Brady, who has

bolstered the Sharks’ stocks further after joining from Gormandale. The Lions’ campaign has been dealt a blow with the absence of gun left hand bat Joel Mitchell, although they still have players such as Riley Baldi, Benn Zomer, Rob Phoenix and of course, Andrew Philip able to chip away significantly into the 250 required. During Moe’s eight-in-a-row premiership dynasty in Central Gippsland, there was always talk of how the Lions would fare against a side like Ex Students. Admittedly both sides have changed since then (some 10-12 years ago), although two of the best players from either team haven’t in Philip and Stockdale. A degree of interest therefore will greet local pundits on Day 2 to possibly see if there is in fact any gap between the two. MIRBOO NORTH will be doing a rain dance this week. The Tigers have already lost on first innings against Glengarry, who are currently 79 runs ahead with seven wickets in the shed. Taking to Fred King Oval, the visitor’s were shot out for just 75 in little more than 50 overs. Nathan Allen and Cam Graham did the damage for Glengarry, taking six wickets between them. Max Merton chipped in with 2/7 off seven overs, as the procession of wickets continued. Mirboo North captain Ben Heath did his best with 23, while Brett Pedlow came in at seven and saw off some critical time, making 23 off 75 balls, as did Dale Banks who survived more than 10 overs worth. The total was never likely to be enough, and the Magpies secured first innings points without losing a wicket. Frank Marks scored 41 off 53 balls, and Al Jenkin struck at over 100 in his 35 of 34. Mirboo North had some joy, dismissing Nat Freitag for a first ball duck thanks to golden arm Max Woodall. The youngster has taken two of the biggest wickets in the competition in consecutive weeks, knocking over Cal Stewart from CATS the week before. The dismissal of Freitag meant Mirboo North avoided the possibility of chasing even more leather, and no doubt some players wearing yellow and black were thinking words to the effect of ‘thank God for that’ when he walked off. There was little reprieve however, as Sam Marks came in and went to stumps unbeaten on 51, along with Graham who will continue his innings on 23. Woodall took two wickets, disturbing the timber

on both occasions. Glengarry will likely aim to bat for a session on Day 2 and look to get a lead of 200 before going for an outright. MORWELL has victory in sight. The Tigers need just three wickets to beat Raiders on first innings. Although Morwell made just 134 batting first at Yinnar, conditions were clearly tricky as 17 wickets fell in the day. The visitor’s decision to have a hit saw Cyrus Shari top score with 52, while veteran Mark Cukier took the pitch out of the equation, stroking five fours in his 41-ball 32. Morwell only faced 42.3 overs, 18 of which were delivered by Raiders new ball pair Harry McColl and Boyd Bailey who took three wickets each. Luke Thornton bowled the most overs (12.3) and returned figures of 2/33. With plenty of overs left in the day, Morwell bowlers then went in with a ‘now it’s our turn’ approach, and ran through the Raiders top order at will. Opening bat George Cheshire watched on from the other end as two ducks featured in the top four, and two further single figure scores were recorded in the top six. Cheshire made 35, but he was forced to soak up 110 balls to ileviate some of the damage. Tim Ford and Ross Whelpdale game very little away, and could both be eyeing off a five wicket haul this week. Ford has 3/24 and Whelpdale 3/19 Raiders still need 64 to win, and while there is a chance they could edge their way over the line, the advantage looks to be well and truly with Morwell. TUGGA! A 229-ball epic from Steve Warr saw Churchill bat all day against Toongabbie. The Cobras ended the day at 7/250 after 89 overs at Andrews Park. In what was possibly the most Churchill-looking scorecard of all time, Warr’s 70 at first drop combined with Ric Velardi making 38 off 104 balls and Ross Parker 30 off 76. The trio did their job, allowing John Keighran to do his at the other. The Churchill spearhead smashed 77 off 67 balls, with six fours and one six. A late flurry of wickets gave the Rams some joy, but they could still be in the field for another 10 overs this Saturday if Keighran decides to bat on. Toongabbie captain Keenan Hughes sent down 26 overs and took 3/65, while Tom Shippen nabbed 2/40. CATS had the bye.

Following in their idols footsteps CRICKET CLV

THEY say never meet your heroes, but for Churchill cricketers Ashton Ceeney, Archie Norman and Jacob Dunn, they are now doing much more than that. Having spent their days as 10-year-old boys at Churchill Cricket Club playing mock Test matches in the nets and watching the likes of John Keighran and Ryan Harvey most Saturday’s, the trio are now playing in the same team as their idols. Ashton, Archie and Jacob are all currently playing Premier A together for the Cobras, alongside the likes of Keighran and co. The now 15-year-olds have played cricket together from a young age, and have formed core nucleus of up-and-comers at the Snake Pit. Jacob is a left arm quick bowler, Archie a right hand bat and leg spinner, and Ashton a right hand bat and wicket keeper. Archie and Ash debuted last year, while the first game of the current Cricket Latrobe Valley season was Jacob’s first and Ash’s first time keeping in A Grade.

Goannas outplayed in season opener CRICKET VETERANS BY ANTHONY BLOOMFIELD

AFTER a first fii round forfeit, the Gippsland Goannas Over 50s got their season off to a start with a trip down to the picturesque Caulfi field i Cricket Club No. 1 oval to front up against the strong South East Veterans Cricket Club. The side that made the trip was a tad stronger than the one that ventured down for the corresponding game last season and was a great grr initiation for a couple of Goanna virgi gins i playi ying i their first fii game including Chri ris i ‘Buddha’ Malone and Dave ‘Caveman’ Noble. Goannas skipper Graeme Rankin won the toss and had no hesitation electing to bat on the dry wicket which appeared as though it may play a little low later in the day. The Goannas were off to a horrible start when there was confusion between the opening pair of Rankin and Bloomfi field i with the former run out for a duck. Krr Wells joined Bloomfi Kris field i at the crease and set about savaging the attack to all parts of the ground, grr retiring on 41 with the score on 71. Not to be outdone, Bloomfi field i then finished fii off his innings with three boundaries in an over retiring on 40 with the score on 94. This had the Goanna's eyeing off a 200-plus

score when Geoff fff Kinnish Kii joined Snags McDonald at the crease, however Kinnish Kii didn't waste any time, departing after being clean bowled for a duck. McDonald fluffed fll around for a patient eight after scoring heavily on the Saturday, obviously his refl flexes l weren't quite what they should have been and he left the centre stage with the score on 5/99. Steve 'Buck' Rogers and Pat Spiteri set about re-establishing the innings and were looking good until Spiteri was judged LBW off his thigh pad for a well made 14 with the score 109. Buddha Malone strode to the crease as the youngest player in the side for the first fii time in around 20 years and struck the ball beautifully and ran well between the wickets with Rogers, taking the score to 134. South East moved a fielder fii into the deep and sure enough Buddha had a brain fade the very next ball placing one onto the chest of said fii fielder. The tide had certainly turned and the innings became a matter of surv rvival. v Rogers was bowled for a handy 15 as the score moved to 8/144. Rod Jones and Chris Anders An n took the score to 155 before Jones fell to a spectacular catch for five. fii Anders An n was joined by Dave 'Caveman' Noble in his first fii hit out and the Goannas crept their way to 166 at the completion of the 40 overs. Anders finished fii on 13 not out and the Caveman four not out. The South East bowlers fought back well after

being mauled in the early overs, with Willow Grove's Anthony An n Wilkes and Christian Stacey each taking two wickets while Stephen Rando and Andrew An n Sharp each took a wicket. Trafalgar's Col Parnall also played for South East Vets. After the tea break, the Goannas took to the fii field and struggled a little with their line as curr rrent r Australian over 50's opener Paul Whyi Wh hyird i and Andrew An n Bethume put on a solid opening stand of 56 before Cecil Haysom got the break through as Bloomfi field i took a regu gulation u catch that many predicted he would drop as the ball fll floated and spun in his direction. Haysom picked up his second wicket for the day when Whybird Wh h departed with the score on 74. The Goannas were still half a chance of taking out the win when Snags became airborne and nearly held on to what would have been a miracle catch, ultimately though the force of the big boy's body hitting the deck saw the ball spill out. Rankin had to deal with a three-yearold pitch invader who out sprinted all fielders and whose mum was informed of the ramifi fications i of Little Johnny wearing a cricket ball to the head. Maybe it was in everyone's best interests if mum could encourage her kids back to the playgr ground. r While the Goannas bowlers

toiled hard they were outplayed in the end as the South East Vets scored the winning runs with a little more than six overs to spare for loss of just two wickets. Malone added some youth and enthusiasm to the side and displayed some quality fielding fii efforts. In the end the Goannas batting didn't quite stand up and had the score card continued the way it started then this would have been a very tight, hard fought game right to the end. A number of the Goannas will soon head off to New Zealand for the National Over 55 tournament. No doubt Ranki kin i and Kinnish Kii will sit next to one another on the plane trip and compare notes about their duck pond exploits and how they plan to get their seasons back on track in the coming weeks.

Tight contest for veterans

GORDON COWLING

GIPPSLAND Goannas Over 70 cricketers arrived at Toomuc Reserve in Pakenham to play the West Gippsland Wombats Over 70 team on Sunday. The ground was in excellent condition and the Goannas were sent in to bat. Fred Debono and Andrew Smith starting the innings. The score had reached 27 in the sixth over when Smith was bowled for 13. Debono was lbw soon after for 12 as stand-in captain Ian Southall and former Warrandyte player and Goannas recruit Warren Dummett came together. Southall was stumped for 11 in the 10th over and Dummett for 14 a little later. Steve Lincoln and Gordon Cowling steered the Goannas to 4/89 at the 20-over drinks break. Lincoln retired for a very well made 25 from 30 balls and Cowling was run out for 15 when the score was 97. The Goannas made a respectable 128 in total. Cowling and Ron Lovel opened the bowling for the Goannas, with just one run from the first 20 balls, and nine from the first six overs. Smith, with a superb throw from about 25 metres, hit the stumps at the bowlers end to secure a good run out for the first wicket. The score steadily mounted as Southall, Smith and Barry Nunn bowled the next six overs. Debono took a good catch from Nunn's fourth ball for the score to be 2/50 after 12 overs. Kel Bond came on and had wicket keeper Dummett taking a sharp catch, and next over one by Dick Noble in the gully. The Wombats went to drinks at 4/85 and seemed to be coasting. Cowling and Lovel resumed after drinks and slowed the run rate. Noble came on, and after three overs had 1/3. Southall had a second spell, hitting the stumps three times to have the Wombats in trouble at 7/111, then 8/119 after 32 overs. The number 12 batsman retired, allowing the first retiree to return to the crease. He was able to hit two fours to get the Wombats over the line, in the 38th over. The fielding from the Goannas had been very good, and the bowling, especially after drinks, very tight. Unfortunately the Goannas batting had finished almost 10 overs (and about 30 runs) short of what might have been a winning score. Wicket taking bowlers were Southall (3/12), Bond (2/19), Noble (1/9) and Nunn (1/10). The Goannas Over 60s will resume this Sunday with an away game against Endeavour Hills, while the next Over 70 game will be in two weeks time against the Australian Cricket Society team at Moorabbin.

West are best in A Grade action CRICKET CLV A GRADE BY LIAM DURKIN

COLOURED clothes remained in Cricket Latrobe Valley A Grade. While the Premier A sides got into the longer format, those in A Grade are played an extra week with white balls. CRICKET is a funny game. While many people were wondering if Latrobe would even win a game this season, it has taken the Sharks just two rounds to do so. Coming off the back of a thumping loss to Willow Grove, few would have predicted Latrobe would beat Centrals at the weekend. The Sharks fancied something in the surface at Peter Siddle Oval and decided to bowl first. The home side struck at semi-regular intervals to dismiss the Lions for 158, with Steve Hanning (3/35), Josh Wus (3/42) and Anthony Bloomfield (2/14) leading the way. Ben Doble, in game number 350 for Centrals, top-scored with 26, while Mark Rawson made 25 off 39 balls. Doble became just the second person after Rod Bird to reach 350 games for Centrals. Sensing victory, the Sharks didn’t take many risks in the chase, using up nearly all the allocated 50 overs to win by five wickets. Bloomfield played a stoic hand of 65, and skipper Steve Freshwater showed plenty of character, making 36 off 80 balls. Rob Webber ended the day with two wickets.

TRARALGON WEST started its campaign with a win. The Eagles returned from the bye and two washouts to defeat Gormandale by 48 runs. Batting first at Jack Canavan Oval, the home side was in a world of hurt early, as the top four contributed just 20 runs between them. Somewhat ironically, it was the man who will be coaching Gormandale in football next season who took this game of cricket away from them. Josh Monacella made 34 batting at five for Traralgon West, working alongside Tim Fitch and Hayden Kimpton. Fitch made 42, while Kimpton, sliding down a few spots to number seven, remained unbeaten on 43. Their efforts helped the Eagles to 7/170 off their allotted 50 overs. Gormandale captain Dylan Freitag finished with 3/17 and Yohan Soyza took 2/9 off 10 miserly overs, which included five maidens. The Gormandale innings started brightly enough, with Tyron Bramwell making 25, but things unravelled not long after. A couple of starts to Campbell Peavey and Dylan Keyhoe showed what might have been, but in the finish, the Tigers could only muster up 122. Spinners Ben Fleming (3/13) and Adam Thow (2/16) paved the way for victory to the west (technically east) side of Jack Canavan. IMPERIALS put in a second consecutive disappointing performance. Taking to Cattrick Crescent, the home side again couldn’t get going with the bat, closing with just 125 on the board against Rovers. Anu Meenakshi top-scored with 26, in a sorry scorecard that saw most of the top order get to

double figures before getting out against the run of play. Every bowler for Rovers took a wicket. Simon Duff claimed 2/11 and Oliver Hannam 2/16. Rovers then got the runs and the bonus point for chasing the total inside 30 overs. The visitor's provided some nervy moments, getting the bonus point with one ball to spare. Liam Little played a mighty 71 not out from 104 balls to see Rovers home. Dom Thompson and Dilshan Thilakarathne took two wickets each for Imperials. WILLOW GROVE had the bye.

Huge let down for Little Athletics ATHLETICS By TOM HAYES

TRARALGON Little Athletics Centre believe they have missed an opportunity to regrow their club due to the cancellation of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. After seeing first-hand how the Matildas and the Women's World Cup had a positive effect on regional soccer, specifically for girls, the Traralgon Little Athletics Centre believe a similar impact could have hit them if the Games were to be held in regional areas. "With the Games coming to regional areas, we thought that it might boost our numbers, because with the Matildas in the Women's World Cup we've seen an increase in girls particularly participating in soccer," Traralgon Little Athletics president Sarah Johnson said. "With the Matildas, the soccer clubs are really driving that, they've had 'come and try' days since and the girls are all about it. "They really piggy-backed on the success of the Matildas, and they used it to their advantage ... I just feel that we've missed that opportunity. "The kids watch it on TV, and even if it's not held locally, they still get around it." With that thought in mind, Johnson and the Traralgon Little Athletics Centre thought that idea would work well for them too. "We thought with the Commonwealth Games, it might increase our numbers through athletics as well," she said. "The government was going to pour a lot of money into building up our regional venues as well, in preparation for the Games, so when they

said that they were cancelling it we were a little disheartened." In comparison to metro-based clubs, Johnson believes having a regional-based Games could have been a much-needed benefit to regional clubs. "It's a bit of a kick in the guts as well because we need to improve our facilities in regional areas, we don't get as much as what metro-based clubs have got," she said. "At Moe's Joe Carmody track, they have a different running track to us and permanent throwing cages, which is what we want to get as well." Johnson was equally disappointed for the region, which was likely to receive an economical boost through the influx of people coming to the area. "We need all the travel, we need those things that we don't usually get in regional areas, it's really hard when they limit that and cancel it," she said. "We just had the Teachers' Games and there was just an influx of people coming to the region and spending money staying in the hotels and eating out and it's a such a boom and it's really important. "In the Latrobe Valley, we do have some great facilities, but with the Commonwealth Games no longer coming, that limits another one of those big events coming here." Although Traralgon Little Athletics Centre was never involved in any direct funding in correlation with the Games, there was a chance that they could receive partial funding. Now that it appears unlikely and up in the air, Johnson and the Traralgon Little Athletics Centre have to find alternative ways to boost registrations that have been on a decline since the COVID pandemic. In the 2018/19 season, Traralgon Little Athletics Centre boasted 138 members, memberships

dropped to 115 the following year which was the beginning of the pandemic. And during the pandemic, numbers continued to drop to 97 in 2020/21, 91 in 2021/22 and 80 just last season. The Little Athletics season began recently, with a little over 80 registrations made to the club ahead of the season. Numbers at the club took a hit during COVID, and now Johnson and her committee are left with the job of building them back up again. "It hasn't recovered from COVID, so we're trying to work really hard to boost those numbers back into sport," Johnson said. "We're tracking registrations as they come through, we always get an influx the week of (Little Aths starting)." Ahead of the Little Athletics season, Johnson and the Traralgon Little Athletics Centre have come up with creative ways to gain attraction. Starting off with 'bring a friend day' which allows members to bring a friend to try athletics for free, in hopes that they will enjoy it and sign up too. Hypothetically speaking, numbers could double if each friend that comes decides to join for good, which is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of ideas. "It's just about getting your name out there," Johnson said. "The thing is being a summer sport is it clashes with cricket and basketball, so we have lost a couple of kids to those. "The thing with Little Aths is that it's individual ... but footy, or cricket, or basketball - it's a completely different environment." This appears to be a common trend with kids opting to quit athletics, as moving into a team sport with friends becomes more appealing, hence why

Little Athletics struggles with retention compared to mainstream team sports. Unless participants thrive in their selected events, most don't make it to their final year. Traralgon Little Athletics Centre offers most track and field events like jumping events, javelin, discus, shot put, sprints, long distance and walking. Children can compete between the age brackets of Under 6s to Under 17s. Little Athletics only used to be available to kids up to Under 16s, but found that an Under 17s division allows for a smoother transition into the open class, and alternatively may help with retention of members. Traralgon Little Athletics Centre also cater for children with disabilities, with their own division at the club.
