Yallourn upgrade YALLOURN power station Unit 1 has received a new pulverised fuel mill after two years of assessment and engineering work following the failure of the mill on March 20, 2021.

EnergyAustralia recently announced a $400 million investment over two years at Yallourn power station, with aims to improve asset reliability, safety and performance ahead of the station’s proposed closure in mid-2028. The total rebuild of Yallourn’s Unit 1 pulverising mill cost several million dollars.

EnergyAustralia Head of Yallourn Greg McIntyre said, “we are incredibly proud of the hard work of many people at Yallourn to have this mill safely back in service. This project represents two years of diligent work by the team, to ensure we have a much safer and reliable plant.”

The incident in March 2021 was a result of a failed fuel mill that lead to

a fire on-site that was quickly brought under control with no injuries and investigations were completed without interruption to the electricity supply from Yallourn.

Reports of the incident stated a catastrophic explosion in one of Yallourn’s pulverised fuel mills on March 20, 2021, with photographs showing the casing around the pulverising mill’s shaft completely blown apart sparking a fire with debris flying 20 metres away.

Since then, EnergyAustralia has conducted investigations to determine the cause of the 2021 failure and how to improve the safety and reliability of its processes at the Yallourn power station.

The report’s findings have resulted in a mill rectification program. In this program, EnergyAustralia completely rebuilt a new mill and rectified the failure mode and replaced bolts on their other 31 mills.

“There has been a great commissioning effort to ensure the new mill, was

brought back into service in a safe and reliable manner,” Mr McIntyre said.

“This is a very proud moment and is a great example of what we can achieve when we come together, in the face of a massive challenge.”

Yallourn has 32 pulverising fuel mills with eight mills per unit, the function of these mills is to process around 25000 tonnes of coal per day each to ensure efficient combustion in the power stations boilers. For large coal-fired power plants, pulverised-fuel technology is widely used. Using such technology, the fuel particles are moved by air pressure at a high velocity through a burner nozzle into the furnace.

Mr McIntyre said the accelerated $400 million investment will support improvements in the reliability of electricity supply from Yallourn until its planned closure in mid-2028.

Yallourn’s four generation units over 2023 and 2024 includes works to support plant integrity, including pressure parts, turbine-generators including the replacement of a primary economiser, turbine repair works, rotary air heater pack replacements, water wall tubes and superheater bifurcation.

“These are intended to be the last major outages at Yallourn to ensure the station plays its role in keeping Victoria’s electricity supply reliable and affordable over the next five years as the state undergoes a transition to renewable energy,” Mr McIntyre said.

The investment will also cover an increase in power station maintenance work while generating units are unavailable to ensure the reliability and performance of the entire Yallourn plant site.

Planting the seeds for Answers sought on mine rehabilitation project will ensure the future demand for trees to be planted across former mining land can be met and Gunaikurnai cultural land values protected.”

The state government is also investing $1.1 million in grants to Traditional Owners from across Victoria to tackle climate change. The Traditional Owner Climate Action grants are for 11 Traditional Owner corporations to build capacity to care for Country and meet a variety of on-ground needs to support climate action.

Member for Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing welcomed the initiative.

“The long-term work to rehabilitate mine sites provides us with an important opportunity to partner with Gunaikurnai communities and businesses to ensure that as transition continues, future landscapes are delivered through best practice, with and for the community," she said.

Supporting Traditional Owners corporations to draw on their knowledge of Country is a vital part of Victoria’s path to Aboriginal self-determination.

To help improve planning and delivery of mine rehabilitation in the Latrobe Valley, the MLRA will also partner with the Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRCTiME). This research partnership will explore solutions to the social and economic challenges as the region transitions away from coal energy generation.

VICSES CEO Steven Griffin announces his resignation VICSES Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Griffin, has advised the state government that he does not intend to renew his role at the end of his current term.

Mr Griffin started his role as VICSES chief executive in May 2014 and has provided exceptional leadership over almost a decade across the organisation and Victoria’s emergency management sector.

He has been instrumental in delivering a significant number of new VICSES units, while leading the agency throughout some of the busiest operational years in the organisation’s history, including three consecutive La Niña seasons.

Victoria has faced some of its most significant emergencies during Mr Griffin’s tenure, including the 2019/20 Victorian fire season, the COVID-19 pandemic response, the June 2021 storm event and the floods in October 2022. He has also overseen some of the largest reforms and changes in VICSES’ history, including his work campaigning

for increased support for volunteers as well as working with local and state governments to ensure the organisation’s ongoing sustainability and viability.

Mr Griffin will take a period of long service leave in September before formally finishing in the role in May 2024.

The VICSES Board will work with the state government to undertake a recruitment process for a new chief executive.

Minister for Emergency Services, Jaclyn Symes, thanked Mr Griffin for his work.

“Victorians know that when emergencies hit, our hardworking VICSES volunteers are there to help," she said.

"Mr Griffin leaves a proud legacy at VICSES of leadership and strengthening its volunteer base.

“I would like to wish Mr Griffin all the best for the future and thank him for his hard work over the last 10 years.”

high-density housing development

MEMBER for Morwell, Martin Cameron, has demanded answers from the state government about a proposed high-density housing development slated for Dunbar Road, Traralgon.

In Parliament on Tuesday, May 16, Mr Cameron used his constituency question to ask Minister for Housing, Colin Brooks whether the state government had signed-off on an agreement with a private developer, without approval from Latrobe City Council and without consulting residents.

“Residents in the Dunbar Road area have come to my office, en masse, to raise very real and valid concerns about the proposed 52-dwelling development,” Mr Cameron said.

“To begin with, residents say they weren’t notified or consulted, and only found out about the project by way of a single sign that was placed at the proposed site.

“Dunbar Road and the surrounding area, particularly around Shakespeare Street and Bank Street, is a notorious hotspot for congestion, and traffic often comes to a standstill at peak times.

“The additional cars that will come with a 52-unit housing development will make this already nightmarish stretch of road impossible to navigate, not only for residents, but emergency services too.

“Residents are also concerned about the impact such high-density housing will have on green spaces and the overall social amenity of the area; the fact it adjoins a busy industrial precinct; and the possible expansion of a neighbouring quicklime plant and related freight.

“At a recent online listening post held by Latrobe City Council, some 150 residents logged on to voice their concerns, and it was reported that more than 120 official objections had been lodged with council while only a handful were lodged in support of the development.

“The sheer volume of objections raised by residents, with very sound reasoning, is surely enough to warrant a re-evaluation of the proposal in its current form.

“The Andrews government must also come clean about whether this project has already been rubber stamped behind closed doors without proper consultation.”

The Minister is required to respond to questions within 30 days.

TRADITIONAL Owner groups and a local nursery will play a key role in the Latrobe Valley’s mine rehabilitation, with a plan to collect, store and propagate native seeds that will be used to revitalise former mining land.

Minister for Energy and Resources, Lily D’Ambrosio, visited the Habitat Creations nursey in Moe recently, to see first-hand the native flora that will become the foundations of the Gippsland Seed Bank and eventually be planted on rehabilitated coal mine land.

Establishing the seed bank is being coordinated by the Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority (MLRA) in partnership with the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) and local Gippsland native nursery contractor Habitat Creations.

The initiative is crucial to ensuring the future demand for seeds to be planted on former mining land can be met using locally sourced and native flora to protect Gunaikurnai cultural land values.

Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio said the seeds of the future were being sewn.

“These important initiatives show how the MLRA is actively involved in the rehabilitation of the Latrobe Valley’s mines and ensuring the best future outcomes for the region," she said.

“The Gippsland native flora seed collection

We keep your stuff, so you dont have to!

Get vaccinated and stay well this winter VICTORIANS are being urged to protect themselves and their loved ones this winter by getting their influenza vaccination, ahead of an expected spike in flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases.

Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas visited the Royal Children’s Hospital’s Immunisation Clinic last week to encourage all Victorians to get vaccinated, with alarming data showing only one in 10 children were vaccinated against the flu as of late April.

The new data also revealed that one-third of parents were not aware that flu can cause serious illness in otherwise healthy children.

Flu is highly contagious, and while it can be mild in some people, it can also cause severe illness, hospitalisation, and death in otherwise healthy people.

Following a resurgence in 2022, seasonal flu activity is expected to continue to rise in 2023 - and the last fortnight has seen an increase in notified flu cases, with cases in children aged from 5-14 increasing by 115 per cent - highlighting just how important vaccination is for children.

Flu vaccination is recommended for anyone six months and older and is free under the National Immunisation Program for people considered to be at higher risk. This includes children aged six months to under five years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged six months of age and older, pregnant women, people aged 65 and over, and people with medical conditions that put them

at increased risk of severe flu and its complications.

All Victorians can receive their vaccination through a local provider - including your GP, pharmacy, local council immunisation clinic, Aboriginal Health Service or community health centre.

Ms Thomas urged Victorians to stay healthy.

“While flu can be mild in some people, in others it can cause a very serious illness - so protect yourself and your loved ones by rolling up your arm for your flu vaccination," she said.

“Children are at a much higher risk of serious illness due to flu, and with so few vaccinated I want to encourage all parents to protect your children this winter.

“Stay well this winter - get vaccinated against flu and COVID, and stay at home if you’re sick.”

Cases of RSV are also on the rise, especially among younger children - around half of RSV cases within the past fortnight were aged under three.

While there is currently no vaccine available against RSV, there are other simple steps people can all follow to stay well and stop the spread of respiratory illnesses, including washing or sanitising hands often, coughing or sneezing into your elbow, wearing a mask, and staying home when sick.

No interval is required between the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, as they target different viruses and with booster vaccines now available that target emerging variants, you can receive both vaccines on the same day.

“WE know this program of investment is also important to the Latrobe Valley economy. An additional 800 local maintenance workers will be on-site throughout each major outage, with much of the overall investment supporting local businesses and employment,” Mr McIntyre said.

Mr McIntyre was proud to say that EnergyAustralia has just appointed six additional apprentices and an environmental graduate, who will gain experience at the Yallourn power station over the next few years. These new appointments come after EnergyAustralia’s partnership with Federation University Gippsland to provide scholarships and industry placements.

From the $400 million dollar investment, Mr McIntyre said, “We’re also continuing to support our people at Yallourn as we plan for the period after the station’s closure. This includes our $10 million program to provide transition support for employees along with ongoing planning for the safe rehabilitation and transformation of the Yallourn mine and power station site so they become an asset for the local community.”

EnergyAustralia is exploring all avenues to determine the value of repurposing the Yallourn

plant for other uses after Yallourn is decommissioned and remains committed to investing in the Latrobe Valley.

“EnergyAustralia will continue to invest in the Latrobe Valley and its role in Victoria’s clean energy future. Our gas power station at Jeeralang will remain to provide flexible capacity to support renewables and with the Wooreen project, we are progressing plans to build Australia’s first utilityscale 350MW battery which will provide power for around 230,000 Victorian homes over a 4-hour period,” Mr McIntyre said.

We provide our clients with 20ft, 40ft (high-cube) and caravan / boat storage options, all covered by security fencing and state of the art, digital CCTV cameras.

All of this is spread out over nearly 2.5 acres in a convenient location in the township of Morwell.

Teak the dental therapy dog Recognition

By ZOE ASKEW

TWELVE-MONTH-OLD Kelpie Teak is training to become Gippsland's first public dental surgery therapy dog.

Amrita Bradley, Windsong Farm Providore hobby farmer, dental hygienist at Sale Hospital, and author of the recently published children's book Who Are You and What Do You Do?, is currently completing training with her Kelpie Teak to become the first therapy dog to work in a public dental surgery in Gippsland.

Teak was the impetus behind Ms Bradley's book, which follows baby goat Loki on his journey across Windsong Farm as he meets all the different animals, most of whom Amrita and her husband Andrew have rescued over the years.

"The book was to raise funds for Teak's therapy dog training," Ms Bradley said.

"Teak has now started that therapy dog training; we had to wait until she was mature enough to do it, which means that she had to have turned 12 months by the time the five-week training had finished."

Teak and Ms Bradley are completing their therapy dog training online through Therapy Dogs Australia and are expected to finish in three weeks.

"Therapy Dogs Australia has very strong ethics around animal welfare and professionalism," Ms Bradley said.

"It doesn't mean the dog has to be perfect by any means, but the dog has to be under control and using the dog's mistakes can be a really good teaching for a patient.

"For example, we are not talking about the dog being out of control, but if the dog does something they're not meant to, that can be used as a teaching for a person like 'Okay, so the dog stole some food out of the other dog's bowl, what do you think would happen as a consequence?', so they use the animal in animal-assisted activities to run parallels and teach kids possible consequences, desired behaviours, those sorts of things.

"From a dental point of view, I can use Teak more for comforting anxious kids and to demonstrate tooth brushing and to play with kids, so if the kids blow up a balloon, breathing out through their belly activating their parasympathetic nervous system, which will help them to relax as opposed to being anxious and we can turn that into a game where Teak can play with the balloon around the room type thing."

Many studies have shown that petting a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol and can lower your heart rate and blood pressure.

"Stroking a dog or just having that warmth of a dog on you is really good for calming you down, and we can use those as a method of dealing with dental anxiety," Ms Bradley said.

A 2022 study conducted in Switzerland suggests that dogs can even be good for our brains.

Researchers say the results could improve the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapies for treating many conditions, including depression, dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Clinical studies on human-animal interactions found that not only can dogs serve as a source of comfort and support, but they can also help children with ADHD focus their attention and positively affect children with autism.

While therapy dogs are common in Gippsland, with dogs regularly visiting Wurruk Neighbourhood House, Bairnsdale Hospital and Briagolong Primary School, therapy dogs have yet to be utilised in the region's public dental health sector.

"Therapy dogs aren't new, but in public dental, it is," Ms Bradley said.

"In private dental, they have got a therapy dog down in Warragul, but as far as public dental goes, this will be a first, and we are working with the hospital, Central Gippsland Health, to implement that with support from Dental Health Servies

Teak's therapy dog training is expected to be completed in early June, after which the brownhaired kelpie will undergo specific environment training with the goal of working at the CGH dentist clinic by July.

"We do a whole day Monday online, online lectures, assessments for myself and then assessments for Teak," Ms Bradley said.

"We video those assessments, send them in and get real-time feedback on them during a Zoom call, then we have the next week to work on the next set of milestones.

"After five weeks, Teak needs to be assessed on temperament and ability, and if she passes, she will be able to work."

Therapy Dogs Australia trains about 100 dogs per year, with their mission to assist in creating human-canine therapy teams by equipping people with the skills and confidence required to include their dogs in their daily practice in a manner that is safe and ethical for their dog and their clients.

Therapy Dogs Australia co-founder, head trainer, psychologist and clinic director Samantha King says therapy dogs need to display good manners and great listening skills when their handlers are communicating with them.

"The level of skill and training required for the dog and handler teams differs depending on their workplace setting," Ms King said.

"Dentist dogs need to have a calm and confident disposition and be working very well with their handlers.

"The handlers need to remain committed to their dog's training to ensure their safety in the workplace.

"Therapy Dogs in dental surgeries are still quite uncommon, especially as these are medical environments with sterile equipment being used - the teams need to be very well prepared and have good policies in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the dogs and their clients," she said.

"We have trained between five to eight therapy dogs for dental settings."

Therapy dogs have a completely different type of job from service dogs. Their responsibilities are to

provide psychological or physiological therapy to individuals other than their handlers.

Ms King says therapy dogs need to be confident, outgoing, difficult to offend and enjoy meeting new people regularly.

"They should be well-mannered and responsive to their handlers," Ms King said.

"Handlers need to possess many of the same qualities as well as be quick thinkers and able to respond calmly in unexpected situations so that they can support both the dog and the service participant.

"Amrita and Teak are progressing very well through their training; they are a great team who are working well together."

Ms King has worked in animal assisted therapy, incorporating the use of animals within a therapy session to achieve a specific goal for 11 years, founding Therapy Dogs Australia in 2016 alongside her other business, Psychology & Animal Assisted Wellbeing, a multidisciplinary practice where all of the clinicians work with therapy dogs in Redcliffe, Queensland.

"There can be many benefits of involving a wellmannered and confident canine in a variety of human service settings," Ms King said.

"One of the things we hear the most is that the presence of the dog can help people to feel comfortable in accessing the service, meaning that they are able to receive the health care or education they are in need of.

"It should be considered that not all people are comfortable around dogs which can be due to allergies, phobias or cultural differences.

"It is very important that the presence of a therapy dog also doesn't exclude anyone from accessing a service - which is why it's really important to have policies and procedures in place to accommodate for this."

Ms King has also recently established an equine assisted therapy training business, Wild at Heart Horses.

Carol Batchelor, owner and sole trainer of Unified Canine, established to assist with dog training in Sale and surrounding areas, has offered to support Ms Bradley in Teak's specific environment training upon completion of her therapy dog training.

Ms Bradley has already begun introducing Teak to dental practice characteristics at home to ensure the spirited kelpie has the smoothest transition into the new environment.

"At the moment, it's kind of fun because we're just socialising Teak around walkers, children, dental noises, things that go up and down like a dental chair, vacuum cleaners, so suction noises," Ms Bradley said.

"We play dental room noises in the car when we are travelling to and from places, and then we're supplementing common things she will find in a dental clinic like the high-speed suction with a vacuum cleaner, the chair that goes up and down we sit with her on the back of the tractor on the carrier.

"So we are already starting to get her used to the dental environment even though she has never actually been in one just yet."

Before Teak can begin working at Central Gippsland Health, consultation, planning, and approvals are required.

Ms Bradley expressed gratitude to the community for its assistance in Teak's Therapy Dog training.

"It's been a long haul to raise enough funds, and we couldn't have made it to where we are now without the support of the community," she said.

"Thank you to everyone who supported Teak's Kickstarter campaign, purchased the book from our online shop, visited our stall at local community markets and festivals or purchased from a handful of local retailers in Latrobe Valley, Central Gippsland and East Gippsland.

"All profits have gone directly to funding Teak's training, which will come full circle when she starts work assisting anxious dental patients."

Buy buns for breast cancer research

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC AND JASMINE GURNEY*

TRARALGON Baker’s Delight will be pink for the next few weeks as they raise money for breast cancer research.

Baker’s Delight’s 2023 BCNA Pink Bun campaign is running from May 11 to 31.

Throughout the campaign, they will donate 100 per cent of their delicious Fun Bun and Fun Bun 6-Pack sales directly to BCNA. There will also be donation tins at the bakeries, and you can always add a tax-deductible donation to your transaction.

Over the past 25 years, the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) has been supporting Australians affected by breast cancer, providing information, connection and advocacy.

This year, more than 20,000 Aussies will be diagnosed with breast cancer. BCNA is there for these Australians, working tirelessly to ensure they receive the very best care, treatment and support.

Bakers Delight has been a long-standing foundation partner of BCNA and over two decades and has raised more than $23 million for those affected by breast cancer.

According to the BCNA, one in seven women will

IDAHOBIT in the Valley

By JASMINE GURNEY*

MAY 17, 1990, was the day in which the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases. IDAHOBIT Day (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex discrimination, and Transphobia) was formed on this date 18 years ago to celebrate LGBTQIA+ inclusivity and to battle discrimination.

Across Latrobe City thousands celebrated IDAHOBIT Day, including the Latrobe City Council. The council flew the rainbow flag outside the Morwell Corporate Headquarters and library services in honour of the queer community, as all staff participated in LGBTQIA+ awareness training.

The library services provided free celebrations, including rainbow cupcake decorating, rainbow bookmark illustrating, pronoun badge-making, a polaroid photo booth, and free rainbow cupcakes. Gippsland Pride Initiative took to Facebook to say that they were, “blown away by the outpouring of support” towards the day while Victoria Pride Society said they “appreciate the overwhelming response” to their pride-themed events.

They weren’t the only ones getting involved with IDAHOBIT though, with local schools making an effort as well.

Schools such as Lowanna College, Newborough spread awareness through social media, while Traralgon College did likewise.

Trafalgar High School engaged in multiple activities during their lunchtime such as writing empowering messages, face paint, pinning the cloud on the rainbow, and many more.

Towards the end of the day, Trafalgar High School posted that, “our school stands up for inclusion and diversity,” empowering schools and setting a standard for future IDAHOBIT days to come. *Jasmine Gurney is a Year 10 student doing work experience with the Express.

be diagnosed with breast cancer and one in 555 for men. Breast cancer is estimated to account for approximately 28 per cent of all new cancers in Australian women.

It is estimated that at the end of 2017, 242,083 women were alive and had been diagnosed with breast cancer between 1982 and 2017, while about 80 per cent of new cases of breast cancer were in women aged 50 or above. There has been some improvement in recent years as the chance of surviving at least five years (five-year relative survival) has increased from 77.3 per cent in 1989-1993 to 91.8 per cent in 2014-2018.

The Express spoke to Mathew Stephenson, the Traralgon Baker’s Delight store owner, about the Baker’s Delight 2023 BCNA Pink Bun campaign.

“One in seven women will contract breast cancer in their lifetime, so it’s the largest cancer in women other than skin cancer, so it affects a larger portion of our community, and it does also affect some men as men can contract breast cancer as well, so when you come down to the Traralgon store you will see some blue ribbons and buns (in amongst the pink) in honour of those men who lose their lives to this disease too,” Mr Stephenson said.

“It’s part of a national campaign, but we try to run it personally; we’re lucky we work with some really great community groups … well, certainly, Traralgon Football-Netball Club have gone out and done some fundraising on our behalf, the Plaza [Traralgon Centre Plaza] and other businesses support us, so the community at large really do support us.”

Traralgon FNC Club has amassed a whopping $1500 to put towards Baker’s Delight’s fundraising total.

“The Latrobe Valley is a regional community, so chances are you know someone or you know someone who knows someone that has this disease... When times are tough regional communities absolutely shine, you don’t have to look too far, in the floods 18 months ago, when the chips are down you get the community together. So every year we get above and beyond from the Latrobe Valley,” Mr Stephenson said.

Having raised around $7000 at the Traralgon store alone, donations are still being collected, so make sure to pop into the store for a great cause.

“It’s a wonderful way to either honour someone or support someone’s fight, as breast cancer is very

much a disease that affects the whole family. While you obviously have the sufferer ... you have the person who might be a mother or a grandmother or a sister, it has the habit of affecting everyone, and [this fundraiser] is a wonderful way for people to get involved and honour everyone’s battle.”

Taelan Oliver-McGrath, the retail manager of the Traralgon Baker’s Delight store, spoke about the BCNA fundraiser launch on Thursday, May 11.

“We increased our production for the buns, I think we had over 600 on, and we had an old staff member on at a table talking to people and bringing a bit of attention to the cause in the Breast Cancer Network and selling as many buns as she could,” he said.

“We sold heaps of buns, we sold hundreds upon hundreds ... it’s such a great cause and means so much to people.

“Even just working and selling the buns, people come in and share their stories, so it means a lot.”

To help show your support for BCNA, pick up some freshly baked Fun Buns from Bakers Delight Traralgon today. *Jasmine Gurney is a Year 10 student doing work experience with the Express.

Let’s talk about sex and reproduction

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

OPEN and welcoming discussion was held at the 12th annual Gippsland Sexual and Reproductive Health Forum earlier this month.

On Wednesday, May 3, more than 60 people attended the event held at the Traralgon Gippsland Performing Arts Centre. The event provided the attendees who came from all over Gippsland with a delicious lunch, knowledgeable guest speaker presentations, networking opportunities, giveaways and resources regarding all things sexual and reproductive health.

Guest speakers included Vanessa Hamilton, the founder of ‘Talking the Talk Sexuality Education’, Greg Gebhart, federal e-safety commissioner, and Catherine Bateman the sexual health nurse at Latrobe Community Health in Morwell.

The speakers discussed all things sexual and reproductive health, including:  Evidenced-based positive approach to education and its benefits;  Teaching consent to children at any age and respectful relationships;  Sexualised society and impact on rigid gender stereotypes;  Pornography’s impact on young people and identifying online harms;  Child sexual abuse prevention and management;  Technology-facilitated abuse and family violence;  Reporting to e-safety;  Supporting children, young people and adults when an online incident occurs;  Current sexual health landscape in inner Gippsland, and;  The work of the inner Gippsland sexual health hub at LCHS Morwell and contraception.

Marleigh Andrews, the event organiser and sexual and reproductive health expert at Gippsland Women’s Health, spoke about the forum and its important purpose to educate and raise awareness.

“Sexual reproductive health is one of our main portfolio areas, and so we introduced the forum as a way for professionals to increase their awareness around sexual and reproductive health topics, and it’s a way to up skill and network,” she said.

Targeting professionals from all different

industries across Gippsland, Ms Andrews hopes that they will be able to bring their knowledge back to their boardrooms, schoolyards and offices.

“We target it to professionals mainly because they can spread the word of these messages and what they learn in their workplaces or communities; we get nurses here or teachers, for example, where they can implement these sorts of things in their classrooms. We have local council members here, a lot of health promotion, community development staff, allowing for that opportunity to spread it into their industries.”

With lots of discussion on remaining safe online, Ms Andrews said there is a heightened focus on online safety as it becomes an increasing issue.

“The landscape has completely changed; you hear about pubs and clubs closing in this region because people don’t come anymore to meet people.”

“What comes with those new technologies is some information and understanding around how to use them effectively and safely.”

Ms Andrews spoke proudly of the health forum as an event made for education and better sex and reproductive health awareness.

“To be able to up skill the community means that community members can have better relationships and better understanding regarding sexual reproductive health.”

With an overall goal to improve health literacy and understanding, Ms Andrews said these sorts of forums help people find out where to go to access the right and accurate information.

As regional communities often have higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), less screening and less access to health services, Ms Andrews said forums like these become a great way to raise awareness.

Gippsland Women’s Health run a program called ‘Are you Covered?’ Founded in 2015, the project aimed to empower people to have the knowledge and tools to successfully navigate their sexual health and reproductive needs. First focusing on condoms and consent, the program has since evolved into all sexual and reproductive health strategy.

Latrobe Community Health Services Gippsland data April snapshot found that:  Chlamydia is the most common STI, with 77 per cent of cases remaining undiagnosed;

* &

 Gonorrhoea is on the rise, with 61.8 per cent of cases aged between 15-29;  Syphilis notifications are increasing;  STI rates are twice as high in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations;  Hepatitis B care and treatment uptake is well below the state average;  Hepatitis C rates are higher than the state average, yet treatment is good across the region;  In reproductive health, 30 per cent more live births were found in mothers aged 13-19 compared to the state average, and;  A total of 17.9 per cent of women in Gippsland smoke during pregnancy.

Gippsland Women’s Health and its partners and community aim to increase awareness and promotion of current issues and services in the sexual and reproductive health area.

Catherine Bateman, a sexual health nurse at Latrobe Community Health Service, spoke of the work that LCHS do at their sexual health hub.

“We are funded by the state government, which means we are mandated to focus on and provide early medical abortion, long-acting reversible contraception and other sexual and reproductive health services like STI checks, other contraception and information and advice,” she said.

The Morwell LCHS sexual health hub came from the $10.5 million the state government invested into sexual and reproductive health to expand the network and deliver better services.

Pushing back against common assumptions about those who access the services the Latrobe Sex Hub provides, Ms Bateman said the stereotypes aren’t always quite right.

“The vast majority of my patients come to me fully knowing what they want to do in confidence with the decisions they’ve made. All I do is facilitate making sure they’re able to access that service in a non-judgemental way,” she said.

QUEENSLAND author Nicole Morris is relea asing her book Vanished on June 7 to help raiise awareness for missing people and the even nts that happen around these cases that you ca an look out for.

Included in the book is the story of Marcia Ryan n, who went missing near Moe and Morwell nearly y 30 years ago.

The book covers 10 missing person cases thatt have happened around Australia from 1979 too recent cases.

Motivation for the book came from personal interest from Nicole’s position, as well as curiosity over many years of questioning before the position.

Nicole is director of the Australian Missing Persons Register which was founded in 2005.

She states that “53,000 people go missing in Australia each year. Most of them are teenagers, about 35,000.”

“I decided to create a website for the missing persons, so that the public would be able to access information about the missing, and I taught myself how and gathered as many cases as possible from books, newspapers, even scanning photos out of books to add to the website (some of which are still on there today) and I gradually built the Australian Missing Persons Register.”

Nicole’s goal is to illustrate how crucial mental health is in Australia and to express how the families involved want to share their experiences with people like them.

“All of these families really wanted for me to tell their stories, to help others understand what a family goes through when they have a missing loved one. They also wanted to help other families that are in the same boat.” Nicole said.

“It would also be incredible if one of the people in the book walks past a bookshop and sees their own face on the cover.”

With the story from 1979, Nicole expressed that

Marinus Link hold Q and A MARINUS Link team members will answer questions from the community, including economic development expert Christina Young, who will attend sessions in Mirboo North and Meeniyan.

Marinus Link is a proposed two-way 1500 megawatt (MW) electricity and telecommunications connection between Victoria and Tasmania. The link will include 90 kilometres of underground cable from Waratah Bay to Latrobe Valley.

“I have a passion for providing opportunities for local businesses and employees, and long-lasting economic wellbeing that a major project such as Marinus Link can have on communities,” Ms Young said.

“Of course, economic growth needs to be in balance with environmental sustainability and meaningful collaboration with Traditional Owner groups throughout the development and life of any major project.”

Marinus Link appointed a local economic development principal to help ensure communities in Gippsland benefit from work opportunities during the big transition to renewable energy. A proud First Nations woman, Ms Young grew up in Gippsland and saw the influence that major projects can have on communities.

“Growing up, I couldn’t help but notice the big infrastructure projects. As I got older, I realised they could do much better in terms of economic growth for communities and opportunities for locals,” she said.

“It’s fantastic to be back working for the development of communities I know well, and where I can make a positive difference to the wellbeing of local people.”

Marinus Link involves about 255kms of undersea high voltage direct current (HVDC) cabling, about 90km of underground HVDC cabling and converter stations at each end in Hazelwood, Victoria and North West Tasmania.

Marinus Link Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of TasNetworks, is progressing the ‘design and approvals’ stages.

The first 750 MW stage is forecast to be built and operating from mid-2028 with the second 750 MW stage from mid-2030.

Construction of Marinus Link, including the converter station in Hazelwood, is expected to begin in 2025 and will span 6-7 years For further information about Marinus Link, visit www.marinuslink.com.au.

Don’t rule yourself out WITH only a small percentage of Australians maintaining the blood supply for a population of 26 million, Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is urging Traralgon residents to join this lifesaving group.

Around 3.7 per cent of the population are blood and plasma donors, yet one in three people will need blood or blood products in their lifetime.

Traralgon Donor centre manager, Alyce Flannery said a Lifeblood survey found a staggering 40 per cent of Australians did not know if they were suitable to be donors or believed they were not eligible, however eligibility rules are regularly reviewed to reflect medical developments.

“We do have criteria in place to keep blood donors and the patients who receive blood safe,” Ms Flannery said.

“But we recognise this can sometimes cause confusion or cause people to put up unnecessary or outdated barriers for themselves to give.

“Reasons that have prevented people from donating in the past, including certain medications, international travel history or even their proximity to a donor centre, may not be an issue today, so I encourage locals to re-think their donation status.”

If you are between 18 and 75 and are feeling healthy and well you may be eligible to donate like many donors who ruled themselves out until recently.

“We know taking the first step with anything new can be challenging, but our friendly staff are

there to support you.”

Lifeblood research shows there could be more than 13 million Australians who may be able to donate, but don’t.

Demand for blood and blood products in Australia is at its greatest level in nearly a decade, as the population rises and hospitals catch up on surgeries post-pandemic.

Ms Flannery said: “For instance, a growing number of patients rely on plasma donations for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, haemophilia, and kidney disease. Plasma is now the type of donation most needed by patients and hospitals.”

Lifeblood has a team of doctors on hand who can help with eligibility questions. You can also take an eligibility quiz on the Lifeblood website.

Can I donate blood or plasma if: I have a tattoo or piercing?

You can donate plasma straight away if you received the tattoo in a licensed tattoo parlour in Australia. You’ll need to wait four months to give blood.

I lived in the UK for six months between 1980-96?

Yes, you can. A rule, preventing blood and plasma donation was removed in July 2022.

I have worked, travelled or lived overseas?

It depends where you have travelled. Take the travel quiz available.

I have had the flu?

You can donate two weeks after you’ve made a full recovery I have had the flu vaccine?

Yes. The flu vaccine (both seasonal flu and H1N1 or 'swine' flu) is made from 'dead' (inactivated/ recombinant) material, so it doesn't affect your ability to donate I have had COVID? You can donate blood when you have completed all public health required follow up and seven days after you’ve made a full recovery I have had a COVID vaccine?

Donors need to wait three days after receiving each COVID-19 vaccine. This wait time applies to all COVID-19 vaccinations, regardless of which vaccine you receive.

I have had a baby?

You can donate nine months after giving birth.

If breast feeding, wait until baby is significantly weaned.

I am over 75?

If you become a donor before you turn 76 you can keep donating to any age you want as long as you meet other eligibility criteria.

If you would like to know more about donating blood visit lifeblood.com.au To book a donation, call 13 14 95 or book online at lifeblood.com.au or on the DonateBlood app.

Stocky goes to Monet and Friends Exhibition ON Wednesday, May 17, the Stocky Road Enviro Team and selected art students went to Melbourne on an excursion to the Monet and Friends Exhibition and Royal Botanical Gardens.

It was an early morning start for students from Stockdale Road Primary School, Traralgon, catching the train to Melbourne and then walking to the Exhibition Centre.

Students entered the Lume for the Monet and

Friends exhibit, with lots of ‘ah’ and ‘oh’ moments viewing the impressionism paintings projected around the room.

Students loved the magical underwater room and watching a tutorial on how to draw a landscape with a water reflection.

From the Lume, staff and students had a snack on the Yarra River in the sunshine and walked to the Royal Botanical Garden, where the school had lunch

and explored the different areas of the gardens.

Students loved the maple syrup smelling trees and the fern walk down to the waterfall.

The group then walked back to Flinders Street Station and enjoyed a donut before catching the train back to Traralgon.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but not their sore legs from doing so much walking around the city.

Record-breaking John Wick: Chapter 4

By JASMINE GURNEY*

RECORDS were already broken within two weeks of John Wick: Chapter 4’s debut at the box office in March this year.

All three previously released John Wick movies have officially been outgrossed worldwide by the new addition, as the show-stopping finale made an outstanding $420 million, earning $73.8 million in just the opening weekend alone.

The film has quickly risen in popularity, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of 2023, achieving the title of , “one of the most thrilling action movies”, by local film buffs Stefan Bradley and Tom Parry.

Reviews for the film prove that this title holds firm, reaching an impressive 94 per cent Rotten Tomatoes approval rating, 78 per cent Metacritic score, and a 4.1-star review overall.

One review by The News-Herald states that “whatever you think of this movie, you’re not going to feel short-changed” and that no matter what, the fourth instalment should be able to “tie fans over until whatever comes next”.

As the John Wick film rises to the top, devoted fans are left wondering what will happen to the

beloved franchise in the changing world of cinema.

It has been confirmed by director Erica Lee that the John Wick world will receive a spinoff prequel mini-series in September later this year; The Continental: From the World of John Wick.

The series will feature three 90-minute episodes and, although unclear, will supposedly explore how young Winston came to own the hotel.

Another exciting upcoming John Wick spin-off film is Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas and directed by Len Wiseman. The movie is due for release in June 2024 and is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.

Regardless of whatever is coming next in the world of John Wick, directors will be sure to make it action-packed and exciting. *Jasmine Gurney is a Year 10 work experience student.

Action: John Wick: Chapter 4 is jam-packed with fight scenes to keep you on the edge of your seat, and comes highly recommend by budding young journalist Jasmine Gurney.

DORIS Cooper celebrated her 100th birthday on Saturday, November 12 2022 at Baptcare St. Hilary's Morwell.

The milestone was celebrated by family and friends, who gathered to mark the occasion.

Doris was very excited to receive personalised congratulations letters from local government, Premier Daniel Andrews, Governor of Victoria, Linda Dessau, Governor General of Australia David Hurley, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Doris was born in Traralgon on November 12, 1922 to Herb and Ruth Clifford.

She had six sisters and one brother. After attending primary school and high school in Traralgon, Doris became a tailoress, working in a family members shop.

Doris met Rex and they married on May 30 1942. They moved to Yallourn and in 1946 welcomed their son Wayne into the world.

Doris and her family would enjoy family holidays to Inverloch, San Remo and Lakes Entrance. After living in Yallourn for 37 years, Doris moved into Morwell where she would reside in the same house for 34 years.

As Wayne got older, Doris and her family would enjoy many holidays and trips to Tasmania to spend time with Rex's family.

Sadly, Rex died in 1993 and Wayne in 2018.

Doris has been a resident at Baptcare St. Hilary's Morwell since 2015. She has made many friends and is visited regularly by her family.

House prices settle across the state

THE Victorian property market is showing signs of stabilisation this quarter.

The Metropolitan Melbourne median house price recorded a marginal drop of 1 per cent to $955,500 in the March quarter while units recorded a 1.8 per cent drop to $611,000.

Houses in Regional Victoria once again held strong, nudging down to $602,000 (from $603,000) this quarter, but growing 2.2 per cent to $608,000 annually. While units and apartments grew 3.7 per cent to $425,000.

Morwell took first place for annual growth in the regional suburbs, with a 21.5 per cent jump to $371,250, followed by the border town of West Wodonga (up 21.1 per cent) ringing in at $539,000. The beachside town of Barwon Heads demonstrated its desirability once again, with a

15 per cent increase over the year, rising to a total of $1,955,000.

For those seeking a tree change under $400k, houses in Stawell are going for a median of $380,000 (up 18.8 per cent) while Churchill sits at $378,500 (up 12.3 per cent) - both grew while remaining within the top five most affordable suburbs for Regional Victoria. For the hopeful homebuyers closer to the city, good news comes from Melbourne’s outer suburbs as house prices in Wyndham Vale dropped 4.7 per cent to settle at a median of $552,500 this quarter - but, recorded 9 per cent growth over 12 months, taking the spot as Melbourne’s top suburb for annual growth.

Other outer suburbs showing strong growth, but well within reach for house hunters, were Tarneit with 3.4 per cent annual growth (to $650,000) and

Pakenham recording a 4 per cent jump to $645,500.

Moving into middle Melbourne, Brighton was a standout suburb and dominated as Melbourne’s most expensive for the March 2023 report. As one of the few to bolster its median price both quarterly (up 23.2 per cent) to $3,951,000 and annually with a 0.3 per cent increase on houses. Brighton also took the lead in the most expensive for units and apartments recording an 11.8 per cent quarterly spike (to $1,398,000) and 8.5 per cent increase annually.

Contrast to the bay, the leafy suburb of Templestowe rivalled Brighton’s quarterly growth showing a 23.2 per cent increase to median house price of $1,810,944. While units and apartments in culture-rich Glen Waverley saw a 22 per cent increase in quarterly medians to $1,220,000.

Real Estate Institute Victoria President, Andrew Meehan noted that the property market is still stabilising after the price boom the pandemic instigated, and while there’s still uncertainty around the future impact of interest rate rises in the market, there is positive activity.

The REIV Residential Market Index (RMX) which measures the price movement on weekly basis, has rebounded by 8.9 per cent since the start of this year.

Currently the RMX sits at 154.9, close to levels recorded in mid-2022.

“Despite pressures from the interest rate increases, the market remains robust, particularly in outer ring suburbs, strong demand for housing is likely to continue throughout the rest of the year,” Mr Meehan said.

Latrobe’s quarterly health update THE latest quarterly update from the office of Latrobe Health Advocate Jane Anderson, covering January to March 2023, has been released.

This quarter, the Latrobe communities' primary aspiration was identified as Access to Services, making up 43 per cent of the community conversations with the Advocate.

Whenever discussing the aspiration of access to services, health equity was always mentioned in conjunction with it.

The Advocate continues to hear examples where those in the local community are unable to access or are delayed in accessing the healthcare they need due to cost. When services for CT scans, psychological counselling, and occupational therapy were eventually obtained, it was due to specialists or those in the community providing advice on free services available in other locations.

The 2023/24 budget recently released by the federal government features measures that aim to address the cost of living and facilitate the transition towards a new energy economy.

Notably, the government demonstrated a commitment to supporting regional communities through increased funding for health and welfare programs.

The Advocate stated, “The investments to keep

GP clinics open for longer hours and support for low-income patients to access bulk-billed services will help to address some of the challenges people have identified in accessing health services.”

Improving Palliative Care continues to be an aspiration of the community and was the focus of 16 per cent of community conversations with the Advocate.

Access to a designated ward at Latrobe Regional Hospital was appreciated, although the physical amenities for family members supplementing care and the variability of the nursing expertise were raised as concerns.

Those in the community advised that they received more information on treatments and services from community palliative care nurses than in the hospital environment.

The community has raised concerns regarding mental health, social inclusion, safety, public transportation, and community engagement.

Better mental health service coordination and more flexibility were suggested as options to address the disconnect between hospital treatment, community-based support and expectations of the family.

The Advocate was advised that the lack of

accessible transport and the lack of disability parking at health facilities was reducing access.

Some in the community indicated there was more pram-accessible parking than disability parking.

Those in the community expressed confusion about how to access support, were annoyed by continuing long wait times in aged care and dental care, tardiness in transferring funding between providers in aged care providers, disconnect between therapists at service providers and lack of a coordinated service plan for chronic conditions.

During this quarter the Advocate has also seen several systems changes that can provide opportunities for better mental models, better services, better support, and integration of community voice.

Latrobe Regional Hospital (LRH) has revamped its Community Advisory Committee to diversify its membership, with people from the LGBTIQ+ community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people with a disability and the multicultural community, all now represented.

Ms Anderson continues to hear from communities who share their goals, barriers, and suggestions and how they want to be engaged by governments and services across Latrobe.

"As part of my role, I prioritise the experiences of

Visit from Monash Teddy Bear Hospital

Nothing to fear: Morwell Park Primary School students participating in the Monash Teddy Bear Hospital, which aims to get children more comfortable with the hospital experience.

SECOND and third year medical students from Monash University recently ran a Teddy Bear Hospital at Morwell Park Primary School.

Designed to help alleviate 'white coat anxiety', Teddy Bear Hospitals help young children feel comfortable around hospitals and health professionals.

Students at Morwell Park Primary School and their teddy bears participated in a number of stations where they learnt about healthy eating, surgery, plastering, asthma, and how to calmly respond to a medical emergency.

“It was a great experience for both the volunteers and students. The students were very excited and eager to learn about healthy living and the volunteers had a lot of fun teaching the children,” third year medical student Jayatee Banerjee said, who was one of the event coordinators.

This Teddy Bear Hospital was run as part of the Monash Rural Health Year 2 placement program, giving medical students based at the Clayton campus the opportunity to complete a one week rural placement.

While in Traralgon, students had the opportunity to practice their clinical skills with the third-year Monash medical students, spent time at Latrobe Regional Hospital and local GP clinics, and connected with the local community with visits to Gippsland Rotary Centenary House and the HEMS2 Air Ambulance.

Education: Monash Year 2 medical students with Teddy Bear Hospital coordinators, Jayatee and Lois.

Ephemeral artworks at Edward Hunter Reserve IF you go to Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve in Moe, you’re in for a great surprise.

More than 40 textile and fibre-based artworks have been installed in trees and along pathways, with several striking sculptural pieces positioned in and around the reservoir.

Eight months in the making, the exhibition Ephemeral Ecologies by local artist Cheryl Cook opened on Sunday, April 16 and it is potentially the first of its kind in the world.

“My approach is generally about transformation, translation and change, both of my materials and myself,” she said.

“The use of cloth and fibre creates an opportunity to explore disintegration, where both the materials and the environment play an important role. It is a deliberate creative choice to create a journey of change with natural mediums.”

Unlike other outdoor exhibitions, where artworks are either displayed only for a short time or made from robust materials designed to last, the aim of Ephemeral Ecologies is to leave the art exposed to

the environment of the reserve for six to 12 months, during which time it will change and evolve through interactions with weather, fauna and people.

This partnership with nature is an essential part of the installation, and it speaks to broader themes of sustainability, fragility and impermanence.

Issues of decay and interruption of the waste stream are also incorporated, as all the artworks in the exhibition have been created using natural materials. Many of them are coloured with inks and dyes Ms Cook made from invasive plants that grow in the reserve.

“It will be exciting to track the progress, or should that be de-progress, of the artworks as nature adds its own layer of attention on each piece,” she said.

“Over time, changes in the artworks will be captured through photographs and commentary, with the public able to add their reflections on the exhibition’s website.”

Speaking at the exhibition opening, chair of the Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve committee, Bruce King, noted that more people began visiting

and enjoying the reserve during COVID lockdowns.

It is hoped that the artworks now on show will encourage an even greater appreciation of the area.

“This display invites visitors to become more curious about their natural surroundings and to engage with the environment,” he said. “It promotes art in the Latrobe Valley, creates more community engagement, and links into the Latrobe City Council’s health and wellbeing plans.”

The artworks are deliberately diverse in their evocation of the natural environment. Some show the shapes of trees and leaves, while others are more abstract, reflecting patterns of light or using colour, texture and intricate embroidery to convey their effect.

Included in the exhibition are four artworks created by members of two creative art textile groups that Ms Cook co-facilitates at Arc Yinnar and Baw Baw Arts Alliance. A small exhibition that relates to the installation in the Edward Hunter Heritage Bush Reserve was available for viewing in the Moe Library until the end of April.

In keeping with the collaborative approach of her art practice, Ms Cook acknowledged that Ephemeral Ecologies was made possible by a generous philanthropic grant, the bravery of the reserve’s committee of management, the kindness of the Baw Baw Arts Alliance and, most importantly, the support of friends and colleagues.

“This project has really been about immersion, not intellect. It is an exploration of connection to place - a place that wasn’t my own but one that is loved and cared for by others," she said.

"A responsibility of trust, care and belief was given into my hands and my creative abilities, and it is a responsibility that I felt I needed to reciprocate with respect. I felt the honour of what the committee of management offered me and, like handling a rare jewel, I wanted to do justice to the place, to those who cared for it, and to my artistic expression.”

Visitors with a discerning eye are invited to explore the Edward Hunter Reserve to find artworks suspended from trees, draped along branches, and nestled amid reeds along sections

Sound boost for Cenotaph and Kay St gardens COMMEMORATIVE services and community events around the Traralgon Cenotaph are now an enhanced experience after AGL Loy Yang funded a permanent professional public address system for the precinct.

The system was installed recently at the cenotaph precinct at the Eastern end of the Kay Street Gardens as part of a partnership with the Traralgon RSL sub-branch.

Attendees at recent Anzac Day services at Traralgon reported they enjoyed the service much more this year as they could clearly hear the service live over the system. This made attending and observing the poignant commemoration more accessible to and enjoyable for the community.

It is planned that the system will also be made available to other community groups which utilise the area for public events.

The system was supplied and fitted by local contractor CME Installations. Speakers were strategically placed around the area on existing infrastructure, with the support of Latrobe City Council, and there is capacity built into the system for possible future expansion all the way up to the Church St roundabout.

“Funding this system is one way that AGL Loy Yang proudly contributes to preserving and enhancing the rich cultural life of the Latrobe Valley community,” AGL Loy Yang General Manager Christo van Niekerk said.

“AGL Loy Yang has a proud history of supporting the Latrobe Valley through economic development, social welfare, environment and diversity and inclusion community investment priorities.”

Co-Chair of the Traralgon RSL Anzac Day subcommittee, Doug Caulfield said the speakers would be an important community asset which would not only enhance RSL related commemorations, but would also be able to be used to improve the delivery of other events in the area.

“We have previously used a portable system, which many people reported they could not hear, so having a professional system like this one is a major improvement and a fabulous community asset” he said.

“This system will make this space more appealing for use for other community events in future.

We are very grateful to AGL Loy Yang for their generosity and foresight in funding this great addition to our Kay Street Gardens precinct.”

Neighbourhood houses helping improve digital literacy libraries and service centres towards the end of 2021 to help people access their electronic vaccination certificates, book COVID-19 vaccinations and access myGov information. It has since been expanded to include use of the My Health Record app.

Ms Halloran-Lavelle said neighbourhood houses had changed significantly from when they were first established.

"They are based on the principles of community development and develop their own programs based on community need," she said.

"Importantly, the community identifies what those needs are and what resources are required to build and broaden programs.

"During the pandemic and lockdowns, we were forced to close our physical doors but we kept the virtual doors open, helping people who couldn't

access medical needs or food. Since then, needs are changing. We now have houses who are teaching people to grow and cook their own food and others supporting isolated people with transport and digital technology."

Moe Neighbourhood House Manager, Abbe Moriarty, welcomed the support from Gippsland PHN which allowed more time to be spent helping those in the community.

"We were flooded with requests to assist people to download their COVID-19 vaccination certificates," she said.

"Now the focus has moved to helping people connect with My Health Record and accessing the myhealth app."

Lawrie Starr admitted he would have been lost without the neighbourhood house support with technology.

"When I retired, I'd never used a computer and couldn't navigate technology so staff were a big help," he said.

"Now I'm even doing computer classes here."

Ms Halloran-Lavelle sees the partnership with Gippsland PHN as filling another gap in community support.

"It is important that houses are a true reflection of what their communities need," she said.

Gippsland PHN acting chief executive, Angela Jacob, said the feedback since the 'Vaccine Helpers' program started continued to be positive with the community appreciating the assistance.

"It is wonderful to get the feedback from community about this service, and the great outcomes demonstrate its value to those people who struggle with technology and access to it," Mrs Jacob said.

GP1656062

NEIGHBOURHOOD houses are considered by many to be the heart of community connection; a one-stop-shop for people seeking support, education, socialisation and much more.

Now, thanks to Gippsland Primary Health Network, they are using digital technology to help people across Gippsland find information on vaccinations and use applications such as myGov to access a range of government services online.

Antonia Halloran-Lavelle oversees 21 houses and learning centres in Central and South Gippsland, while her colleague, Caroline Lister, is responsible for 20 centres in East Gippsland.

According to Ms Halloran-Lavelle, the partnership with Gippsland PHN to deliver the 'Vaccine Helpers' program is a "perfect fit" for neighbourhood houses.

Bridging the education gap in regional communities COMMENT

BY PROFESSOR DUNCAN BENTLEY

REGIONAL and outer-metropolitan Victoria faces one of the greatest skills shortages in history. It is stunting growth. The solutions are complex but achievable.

For more than 150 years, Federation University Australia has proudly served Victorian regional communities. Each year we welcome thousands of Australian students to our campuses across regional Victoria in Gippslamd, Ballarat, and the Wimmera and to the fast-growing outer South-East of Melbourne at Berwick.

We have thrived with our regions because we respond to the particular needs of each community we serve. As a dual sector university, we qualify learners from trades to world-leading PhD researchers. Our graduates provide regional Victoria with the skilled professionals to lead economic growth throughout the state.

We are also a critical provider of the teachers, health workers, social workers and those professionals from artists to sports scientists, who help outer metropolitan and regional Victoria to thrive as communities.

But TAFEs and universities in the regions and outer metropolitan areas simply do not have enough learners for the jobs available.

Why is this? Put simply, there are too few school leavers continuing to study and qualify for the needed jobs.

It is a tragedy that regional Australia has among the lowest post-secondary attainment rates among developed countries, yet many of the barriers to study can be overcome. Students at school don’t know what to study for future jobs; the further a school is from Melbourne CBD the less likely it will have specialist teachers; school leavers don’t realise that there is plenty of local employment in exciting jobs at globally competitive salaries; employers don’t realise that to attract and keep talent they must employ them while they learn.

We can address these issues. But only if schools, TAFEs, universities and employers work together to provide students with what they need when they need it; from earlier and better information about jobs to paid training.

We need tertiary institutions to work closely with schools to provide the courses where there are no or too few teachers with specialist skills. We also need tertiary institutions to work with employers to provide meaningful work during study, so that school leavers can afford to keep studying and

employers can help train their future employees.

At Federation, we are working to bridge this gap for regional and outer-metropolitan Victoria.

Our ranking as the top university in Australia for first in family enrolments for the previous three years is testament to our commitment to improve access to post-secondary education, but there is still more to be done.

We know that around 70 per cent of students who study in a regional area will stay to live and work there. Conversely, 74 per cent of those who relocate from regional Australia do not return.

At Federation we have found that we can only keep students learning for fulfilling local careers if we work closely with local employers. Employers need to help develop our courses and provide opportunities for students while they learn.

To address the shortages and improve the number of students attaining vocational or higher education in regional areas, Federation and our employer partners have developed an Australian first cooperative education model. From 2025 all courses will be collaboratively designed, developed and

delivered with industry partners, with embedded workplace learning.

Our own experience shows this model works.

Our 25-year partnership with IBM is an exemplar.

Three-quarters of our Bachelor of IT (Professional Practice) graduates were employed by IBM, and two-thirds of these graduates stay employed with IBM for at least seven years after graduation. All students were equipped for a lifelong global career.

Bridging the education gap in our regions can only be done in partnership between local schools, higher and vocational education providers, local employers and communities. The multiple federal government reviews across education and skills need to acknowledge this and support regional and outer metropolitan communities to bridge the attainment gap.

We know what is needed to turn our communities around. With the right tools, together we can get the job done.

Scholarships helping more Gippsland students MORE students are being supported through scholarships at Federation University Australia, with a record number awarded in 2023.

This year, the University, in partnership with generous donors, is awarding 228 scholarships across its campuses totalling more than $830,000.

The scholarships give students the opportunity to succeed in their studies without the stress of financial pressure, helping to cover costs including textbooks, petrol, groceries and computers.

In Gippsland and Berwick, 77 scholarships have been awarded this year in special ceremonies.

Among them is Gippsland Bachelor of Education Studies student, Chloe Bethune, who is receiving a Gippsland Water scholarship and a Federation University Australia Council scholarship.

A proud Martu and Noongar woman, Chloe’s passion for education was ignited after participating in a YMCA Youth Parliament

team which drafted a bill for compulsory First Nation’s Education in schools.

Chloe said the scholarships would support her travel to campus from Yarram and help her cover costs while recovering from a medical condition, allowing her to focus on her studies.

“I’m passionate about curriculum and working with young people and these scholarships will help support me to attend University without worrying about financial pressures,” she said.

At Berwick, Bachelor of Arts student Michelle Cooper Stanway is receiving the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship and Foundation Commencing Scholarship.

A proud Awabakal and Palawa woman and long-time foster carer, the scholarship has given Michelle access to a computer at home and allowed her to dedicate more time to her studies.

Michelle hopes to eventually return to work in the out-of-home and disability care sectors.

Federation University Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Duncan Bentley said the

scholarships provided a great boost for students.

“We know financial hardship is one of the major barriers preventing students from completing their studies and these scholarships help to ease that pressure, providing them with the opportunity to succeed in their studies and contribute to their communities,” he said.

“These scholarships are possible through the generosity of our donors and we are so delighted to be able to again award a record number thanks to these partnerships.”

Federation University’s scholarship program began with four foundation scholarships in 2013 and has grown to support hundreds of students in need of assistance through the generous support of alumni, staff, businesses and community donors.

Win for state teachers and students VICTORIAN students, teachers and school communities will be well served by a new state parliament inquiry into education.

Member for Eastern Victoria Region and Assistant Parliamentary Secretary for Education, Melina Bath successfully established an inquiry to Victoria’s state education system last week.

The Inquiry will examine learning outcomes in state school Prep to Year 12 students, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning and

wellbeing, and importantly, the state of teaching profession including teacher retention.

The Inquiry passed with broad support from the crossbench.

Ms Bath said the Legal and Social Issues Committee will examine the issues impacting student learning outcomes and better support teachers to stay in the profession.

“Our state education system is under significant pressure, with families paying more and receiving

School uniform support THE state government is supporting families doing it tough, with more than 21,000 government school students provided uniforms through the Affordable School Uniforms Program this year alone.

Delivered through State Schools Relief, the program provides uniforms and other essential school items for families that need an extra helping hand, and ensures that all students, regardless of their circumstances, can attend school feeling valued and included.

Families can receive support for individual school uniform items, school shoes, swimwear, stationery items, STEM calculators, textbooks, work boots for vocational students and school bags - ensuring every kid has the basics to excel in school.

On average, the program can save families more than $100 per application.

Minister for Education Natalie Hutchins said the program would assist students and parents.

“Through this initiative we’re ensuring every Victorian student is provided an equal chance to have a quality education and participate in school activities, regardless of their background or family circumstances,” she said.

“Wearing a school uniform helps to create an important sense of belonging for children, and every student should feel valued and included throughout their educational journey.

“With the rising cost of living, we know this

program offers some relief for many families right now across the state.”

Since 2015, more than $42 million has been invested in the program which has supported more than 459,900 students with more than 1.72 million uniforms and other essential school items.

Families affected by short-term crisis and long-term chronic need are encouraged to get in touch with their local school, with students affected by refugee status, homelessness, family violence, house fire, natural disaster, financial hardship, illness and emergency among those eligible for support.

Financial support for schools is also provided through the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund, which gives students from disadvantaged backgrounds the ability to participate and attend a range of school events and activities which may not be possible due to the cost.

Government school students entering Prep and Year 7 who are eligible for this fund are automatically eligible to apply for a uniform pack from State Schools Relief.

The Victorian Budget 2019/20 delivered $27.1 million for the Affordable School Uniforms program up until 2023, adding to the previous four-year investment of $15.7 million, with $160.9 million invested over four years for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund since 2020.

less when it comes to Victorian public education,” Ms Bath said.

“The Andrews government spends the least of any Australian government on education, whilst Victorian parents pay the most - over $100,000 for one child from Prep to Year 12.

“Labor’ has repeatedly refused to address the teacher shortage crisis, declining student results, or the scaling back or cancelling school camps and outdoor activities.

“Better supporting students and teachers must become a priority.”

The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has highlighted the long term decline in students’ reading, mathematics and science.

PISA reports that the maths decline in Australian students is the equivalent to more than a full year of school, while the decline in science and reading are almost a full year.

Ms Bath said the gaps were continuing to widen between city students, and those in regional and remote areas, between Indigenous students and non-Indigenous students and males and females.

“As a former teacher, I seek the best outcomes for our students and an education system that is designed and resourced to let teachers teach," she said.

“In March there were nearly 1000 teaching jobs advertised by the Department of Education and many schools are struggling trying to plug holes.

“It’s unsustainable to have highly skilled teachers becoming burnt out and exiting the profession, and a decline in student mental health and behaviours."

Submission will soon open via the Legal and Social Issues Committee at https://new. parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/committees/ legislative-council-legal-social-issues/.

The report will be delivered to State Parliament

by June 25, 2024.

HOROSCOPES

news

news@lvexpress.com.au

by Joanne Madeline Moore May 22 - May 28, 2023

Aries When it comes to managing a

financial matter, Uranus encourages you to be creative and have a flexible plan. And Jupiter urges you to look at a current problem in a more philosophical way. The situation is in the process of transforming in an organic fashion, so avoid rushing things and trying to force change. Instead, do your best to be much more pliable and relaxed. As birthday great Bob Dylan wisely observes: “There is nothing so stable as change.”

Taurus This week prosperity planet

Jupiter is transiting through your sign, plus Mercury and Uranus are visiting Taurus, too!

So, it’s time to be confident, creative and innovative, as you dream big dreams for the future. Draw inspiration from birthday great Stevie Nicks (who turns 75 on Friday): “My life is a testament to believing that if you want something, you can make it happen.” However – with taskmaster Saturn squaring the Sun – you’ll have to be patient.

GGemini As the Sun makes its annual transit through doppelganger Gemini (sign of the double-trouble Twins) prepare for a stop-start kind of week! Frantically go-go-go one day (Sun/Mars and Mars/Jupiter links) and frustratingly slow the next (Saturn square the Sun). So, you need to be nimble, adaptable and stoical. Plus – with three planets snoozing in your solitude zone – take the time to slow down and reassess where you are going … and where you’ve been.

Cancer You’re keen to retreat into your cosy Crab cave as the Sun transits through your contemplation zone. So solo activities like yoga, meditation, reading and journal writing are favoured this week. But – if you stumble and make a mistake – don’t let negative selftalk drag you down. Be inspired by actress Joan Collins (who turns 90 on Tuesday): “Show me a person who has never made a mistake,, and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much.”

Leo Mars is charging through Leo, and

Jupiter is visiting your career zone, which increases motivation and confidence. So, make the most of it! The next few weeks is the time to expand, enthuse, encourage and explore. Be inspired by actress Joan Collins (who was born on May 23, 1933): “I’m very lucky; I seldom get depressed. I’m a ‘glass half full’ person. In fact, it’s three-quarters full!” But tread carefully on Sunday when relations with a friend could be difficult.

Virgo g International adventures and intersstate escapades are calling as Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus activate your travel zone.

Clever Virgos will be patient and make it a priority to plan (and save for) a dream holiday sometime soon. Your motto is from philosopher (and birthday great) Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” A chat with a teacher or mentor puts a current problem in perspective.

Libra Librans love sweet food and lazing about in the lap of luxury but avoid taking your health for granted. Be more disciplined about making positive lifestyle choices and prioritising time for regular exercise and nutritious homecooked meals. As writer (and birthday great) Ralph Waldo Emerson observed: “The first wealth is health.” And is a close relationship going through a bumpy patch? Venus and Uranus ensure there’ll be some hiccups along the way.

Scorpio p You currently have five planets

(Mercurry, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune) transiting through your relationship zones.

So other people could perplex you with their confusing behaviour. Avoid being a cynical Scorpio who sabotages partnerships. Nurture and cherish your close connections. If you’re unhappily single, then keep pursuing your dream of finding your soulmate. Be inspired by birthday great Stevie Nicks: “I live in the realm of romantic possibility.”

Sagittarius g Have you got stuck in a rut when it comes to unhealthy eating choices and lack of exercise? It’s a good week to revamp your diet and reboot your fitness routine. The more you nurture and repair your body, the better you’ll feel – physically, mentally and emotionally. A close relationship is going through a bumpy patch, but Venus encourages you to swallow your pride, slap on a smile, and hold out the olive branch of peace. Feel the love, Sagittarius!

Capricorn p On the weekend, the Sun

formss a square with Saturn (your power planet) so you’ve certainly got the motivation and determination to get things done. But don’t let your desire to micro-manage everything (and everyone) get out of control! Aim to be disciplined and organised, but not obsessively so.

The best way to approach current challenges and difficulltiies is to tap into your inner reserves off patience, resilience and Capricorn creativity.

Aquarius q Remember there’s a fine line betw ween making smart decisions at lightning speed and making impulsive moves that land you in hot water. This week will work best if you do something out of character for an Aquarius – think before you speak and act! Plus do your best to get the balance right between maintaining the status quo (with things that are working well) and hatching innovative new ideas. Friday favours bohemian friends and falling in love fast!

Pisces You won’t feel particularly energetic

or motivated, as Saturn drains the gas out of your tank. Avoid the temptation to get carried away and make unrealistic promises. It will be very easy to overextend yourself and find you’ve bitten off more than you can actually chew!

Use the prevailing astro-winds wisely as you re-calibrate your expectations, especially when it comes to domestic matters and family members.

Regular exercise and nutritious meals are a must!

From the girl guides

By TRARALGON GIRL GUIDES

GIRL Guides is a female organisation that girls and women participate in to build life skills, alongside making friends and memories that last for a lifetime. Many girls and women that participate in or have participated in Girl Guides show high development in areas of their wellbeing such as self-worth, resilience and social skills.

Adelle Sayers, Year 9, says, “I used to be very quiet and shy, but now I am the opposite”.

The Girl Guide Social Impact Report shows that teen girls involved in Girl Guides show up to a 45 per cent increase in resilience-related skills like adaptability, coping, determination, and problemsolving. Girl Guides often serve as a safe space for girls and women to be themselves, overcome fears, develop new skills, learn how to understand and communicate their feelings, as well as have fun and make new friends.

Girl Guides learn challenging skills like how to make gadgets from scratch, set up tents, light campfires, tie knots, water sports, camping skills, cooking, craft and public speaking. As we continue on our guiding journey into higher age groups, we

learn more challenging skills that we also reflect upon and consider how they are useful in our lives.

Some of the most enjoyable activities that we attend are camps, ranging from small unit-based camps to international camps. We have stayed the night at Luna Park, Ballarat, Gumbuya World, local campsites and more! We have planned and spent fun times in Melbourne going to Artvo and navigating public transport, and we are currently looking forward to going to international camps including Australian Jamboree in New South Wales and England in 2025. Alongside these big events we also have our quieter meetings where we develop skills and have fun, while doing activities or planning for upcoming events like fundraisers.

But none of this would be able to happen without our volunteers who take time out of their busy lives to run all of these fun activities, they help us develop skills and grow into independent women like them. Tessa Philips, Year 8, says, “My leaders in my guide unit are my role models because they inspire me to grow into a powerful young woman.”

Written by Adelle Sayers, Tessa Phillips, Saige Prigg, Natalie Zalesiak, Hayley Collins and Leila Stark.

Visit to local council SENIOR students at Sacred Heart Primary School, Morwell visited Latrobe City Council to enhance their study of civics and citizenship.

The visit was conducted by a variety of staff that work at the council. Students learnt about traffic control, pet safety and the role of council regarding local laws.

At school, students have been learning about the three levels of government, local, state and territory and federal. The seniors also participated in a Zoom meeting with a parliamentary educator during their inquiry lessons and had a visit from Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

SMOTHER ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

Awash with the moody landscapes of seaside County Clare and the turmoil of the Ahern family, this unabashedly overthe-top Irish drama returns for its third and final season. After last season’s cliffhanger, viewers are advised to hang onto to their weather-proof hats: a wave of red herrings and jolting surprises are forecast.

Starring a fierce Dervla Kirwan (pictured) as the family matriarch Val, this season takes an unexpected turn. In tonight’s opener, the Ahern clan gathers for Val’s brisk remarriage. Grace (Seána Kerslake) returns to London and Finn (Dean Fagan) is incensed about his ordeal, despite the Ahern family’s candour.

TENNIS: FRENCH OPEN 9Gem, Sunday, 7pm

You’ll bee gobsmacked at what iss all in a day’s work for these exceptional officers.

TRAVEL MAN: 96 HOURS IN RIO SBS Viceland, Tuesday, 9.40pm

It’s the travel show that purposefully takes a different tack. Fronted by British comedian Joe Lycett – who has taken over Richard Ayoade’s former role like a duck to water – Travel Man is basically a vehicle for fizzy banter, interesting scenery, humorous asides and quirky facts as the outlandishly clad Lycett accompanies fellow comedians on laconic trips around the globe.

Tonight, actor Stephen Mangan (The Split, pictured, above left, withLycett) joins this super-sized and very relaxed foray into sunny Rio de Janeiro. Armed with sunglasses and board shorts, the duo wax lyrical as they sip coconut cocktails, sample local fruit and check out iconic sights such as Christ the Redeemer.

The football match for everyone FOOTBALL

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

YOU’VE heard of lunchtime footy. How about midweek lunchtime footy?

The Latrobe Valley Panthers Reclink Football Club played their first game of the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation football league last Wednesday (May 17).

The once-a-month footy match saw the LV Panthers take on the Odyessy House Victoria team in a fast-paced and fun game with all spectators entertained at the Morwell Recreation Reserve.

The Reclink Australia’s Victorian Football League is available to people 16 years and over of all genders, ages, cultural groups, and abilities who have experienced or are experiencing disadvantages.

There are 15 teams across Victoria with locations in Morwell, Collingwood, Casey, Geelong, Hawthorn, Werribee, Footscray, St Kilda, Dandenong, Frankston, Rosebud, Bendigo, Sunbury, Ballarat and Pakenham. The program is funded through the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation’s Latrobe Valley Gambling Harm Prevention Project and delivered by Reclink Australia, a charity that connects people through sport, recreation and art programs to promote social inclusion. Reclink has been providing service to Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley since June 2021.

Neighbourhood Watch Latrobe catered the event with a free barbecue for all the spectators and players to enjoy a snag or two.

Though the Morwell side lost the battle 92 points to 41, both teams came off the ground with smiles, with friends and family cheering on the side lines.

Latrobe Valley Senior Sports coordinator Isaac Copeland was very proud of Reclink’s work and mission to foster inclusivity through sport.

“I think what Reclink does as a whole and especially for our footy, it really breaks down all the barriers as for everyone that can’t play on the weekend in mainstream sport can come down to a Reclink team on game day and really just embrace it,” he said “This is our first proper game. We had a little training footy clinic last week … we had 60 people attend, and today we had around 80 people come around, and yeah it’s just a great day.”

To make the football game inclusive, the Reclink team modifies the rules so anyone can join.

“We modify the rules, so people can wear a vest so they can’t get tackled, so it really opens up for anyone to access it and play it, which is amazing,” Copeland said.

“Reclink is for everyone, and it really shows you know everyone has a different walk of life that comes to play for a Reclink team for example, our team in Morwell is mixed up of disability agencies, Mental health and rehab centres.”

“Everyone from different walks of life can come to be in a local team and sing the song afterwards and have fun,” he added.

Copeland said the day is all about community, socialising, and inclusivity, but it does not lack healthy competition.

“I think that’s the joys of it. It is modified so it can be played at the beginner level, but it also can be played at a very high standard where people can really feel like they are playing at a high level, like the mainstream clubs on a Saturday. It really gives that opportunity … its really cool to see these guys run around and get a bit fired up.”

Reclink Australia provides evidence-based sport and recreation programs to disadvantaged Australians to create socially inclusive, lifechanging opportunities. In partnership with more than 500 community organisations. Reclink Australia’s programs create pathways to improved health and wellbeing, education and employment outcomes for all participants.

Mathew Lowe, a dairy farmer from Drouin who works seven days a week, loves to play in the Reclink league.

“I’ve just started with Morwell this year, I played for Casey last year, but it’s all about giving people a second chance at life, like for people going through drug addiction and alcohol rehab and all that, so pretty much we get out on a Wednesday to get together play a bit of footy and have some fun,” he said.

“I kicked the first goal for the club, we don’t really know one another, so it was all new to us today … we’re taking it game by game, we just want to bond and make friendships.”

Having had a friend who has battled addiction but now plays for a Reclink side, Lowe has seen first-hand the benefits the game can have on an individual.

“I’ve had a mate of mine who’s had an alcohol problem, and he’s come out the other side; he’s 12 months clean now, and his love for the game is awesome; I think everyone deserves that second opportunity in life,” he said.

Lowe said that sport was a great way to improve people’s lives, being great for people’s mental and physical health; he said it could “change people’s lives around.”

The first Reclink match at Morwell seemed a great success, as Lowe said, “it was good to get out and have a good run around.”

If footy is not your thing, Reclink in Latrobe Valley provides many other free sports activities, art and recreational programs for all abilities, genders and ages.

Reclink is always looking for more participants.

FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

BY LIAM DURKIN

I'VE got good news and bad news.

The good news: Gippsland League footy is back this weekend.

The bad news: there are no games in the Valley.

Moe, Morwell and Traralgon will all hit the road for Round 7 action, as the league resumes for another five game block.

As competitors enter the second-third of the season, this Saturday will mark the last match in autumn before the traditional winter grind commences.

If the first-third of the season is the 'establishment phase', the next six or so games should be viewed as the 'stabilisation period' where teams either consolidate spots near the top of the ladder, or keep themselves in the hunt for a finals berth.

Heavier grounds in weeks to come will undoubtedly increase the risk of injury, meaning coaches will have to navigate players and work out selection contingencies depending on the ramifications associated with the game at hand.

With six or so weeks in the last third of the season, officials have some flexibility now to exercise caution and nurse players back for the business end of the season.

Players themselves will need to play this period smartly. If you are 10 goals up with five minutes to go in the next few weeks, maybe don't go back with the flight and risk adding yourself to the unavailability list.

The annual flu season can also wreak havoc with squads, and given every second person seems to be sick at the moment, it would appear there is a clear bug going around.

Therefore, all players, coaches and officials would be well advised to stay on top of their respiratory health, as the last thing anyone needs is for illness to wipe out half a list.

IF you are a Moe player and can't get motivated for this, you might want to contemplate retiring.

The Lions travel to Leongatha in a battle between first and second.

The Parrots are currently the clubhouse leaders of the Gippsland League, and the only unbeaten team in the competition.

Leongatha's strength so far this season was demonstrated in the Grand Final rematch against Sale four weeks ago when they won by 130 points.

Moe however will head over the hill with some confidence. The Lions have proven they can defeat quality opposition in South Gippsland, evidenced by their victory over Wonthaggi in Round 3.

The Lions willingness to compete went to another level in that game, and if they can replicate such intensity on Saturday, spectators could be in for an enthralling contest.

More specifically, Moe might look to capitalise on at least one key statistic it has over Leongatha.

For a team as dominant as Leongatha, it is

interesting to note they actually aren't a great clearance side.

The Parrots have only won the clearance count in half their games this year, and even then it has only been +4, +7, +4.

Leongatha was smashed in clearance by Traralgon, going -14, whereas Moe went +5 against the same opposition.

The Lions have won the clearance battle in four of their six games, the most notable being the +16 differential against Wonthaggi.

The work of veteran ruckman Ben Morrow has been noteworthy, as well as new recruit Chris Prowse in getting the ball to the likes of Riley Baldi, Ben Daniher and Grady Cocksedge.

If the ball is continually going away from Leongatha's goal at stoppage, it then begs the question: just how are the Parrots so effective?

These numbers might provide an indication.

It is the Parrots’ ability to win the ball back that makes them so dangerous.

Put simply - they explode on offence and feast on turnover.

Leongatha's inside 50 count since Round 3 has been +41, +23, +49, +31.

Their turnover game is almost criminal - in the last match they forced Morwell into 23 more clangers.

Evaluating the data, it would appear Moe will win their share of the ball this weekend, they will just have to make sure they don't simply hand it back to the opposition.

Imagine what history will say about the team that was able to defeat Leongatha.

SURELY the statistic currently aligned to Morwell and Sale will end this weekend.

Amazingly, the Tigers and Magpies sit on exactly the same points and exactly the same percentage.

Barring a draw, one will break from the other when the final siren sounds at Sale Oval.

Both teams are two points outside the top-five, but the winner will go into the top half of the ladder assuming Traralgon beats Bairnsdale as expected.

Although there are plenty of games left, this clash is looming as a vital one in either sides finals aspirations.

Generally speaking, you can't afford to lose more than eight games to join in the September action.

Morwell and Sale each have four losses to their name already, so the road back could be arduous for whoever drops the bundle this Saturday.

Needing to win eight of your last 11 sounds harder the more you think of it.

The Tigers will be hoping the week off allows them to get a few players back. Playing-coach Boyd Bailey has had his finger in a splint the last few weeks, while key forward Adam Braendler also missed the last game.

Morwell put up an admirable fight against Leongatha a fortnight ago, and were only 10 points down at three quarter time before weight of numbers caught up with them.

Sale's physicality has been a hallmark in the

Rep footy returns in Gippy League FOOTBALL/NETBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

BY LIAM DURKIN

A MODERN take on interleague was unveiled at the weekend.

After no representative football or netball in the last few years, and with leagues across the state reluctant to organise games, the Gippsland League took matters into its own hands.

Last Saturday was set aside for some of the best young players in the Gippsland League to play some form of representative football and netball.

Players across the league were selected for an in-house version of traditional interleague.

Teams were selected based on location of the player’s home club, with 'Team Navy' pooling from Morwell, Traralgon, Bairnsdale, Maffra and Sale, while 'Team Red' took in Moe, Warragul, Drouin, Leongatha and Wonthaggi.

The cut-off age for participation in senior football was set at 25 in order to showcase some of the best young players in the competition.

The move may have also allowed potential AFL and VFL scouts to make their way down to Traralgon knowing they would be viewing a high-quality game.

Morwell playing-coach Boyd Bailey led the Navy side, while Moe assistant Shane Paynter answered the call to replace Jed Lamb as coach of Red as the Warragul coach was dealing with recovery from his horrific leg injury.

Team Navy took bragging rights, winning 12.12 (84) to 7.8 (50).

Maffra's Kade Renooy was voted best-on -ground, and received good support from former Eagles teammate Hudson Holmes, Traralgon pair Luis D'Angelo and Tye Hourigan, and

Team Red was well served by Moe's Riley Baldi, Tallin Brill (Leongatha), Jake Hume (Leongatha), Tom Evans (Drouin) and Sean Masterson (Warragul).

Junior football saw Navy defeat Red by 32 points.

IN senior netball, Red defeated Navy 60-45.

Leongatha's Nicola Marriott won best-on-court honours.

Others to play well were Drouin teammates April Bethune and Ava Gaul.

For Navy, Morwell's Courtney Garth was a standout, along with Warragul pair Sienna Green and Selene Chadrawy.

The netball teams were selected via a draft process by coaches Rachael Paterson (Navy) and Staci Gardiner (Red).

Under 17s netball was won by Navy 51-39, Red 42-27 in Under 15s and Navy 29-25 in Under 13s.

last couple of years, and players such as the Leslie brothers, Will and Jack, will be looking to make their presence felt.

Morwell will need to stand up to any pushing and shoving that might take place, and also deal with the unique shape of Sale Oval's very straight wings.

HOPE you've got a good playlist sorted Traralgon.

The Maroons make the journey east to take on Bairnsdale.

Traralgon is on a roll at present, sitting third on the ladder with a five game winning streak.

The visitor’s are expected to make it six in a row against a Redlegs outfit that has looked well out of sorts in recent weeks.

After starting the year with a morale-boosting win over Sale, Bairnsdale followed up by barely getting over the line against Drouin at home, before losing to Moe, Leongatha and Wonthaggi heavily.

The draw hasn't been overly kind to the Redlegs, as this weekend will make it four games in a row against the top-four teams.

As they say however, 'them's the breaks', and the Maroons won't have any sympathy for their opponents.

There is likely to be Port Adelaide reunion as Traralgon full forward Brett Eddy plays against Bairnsdale coach Logan Austin.

Austin will surely go to Eddy and look to negate his influence.

The key forward is coming off a six-goal effort against Moe, and could be in for another bag if Luis D'Angelo, Tom Schneider and Jackson McMahon keep lacing him out.

IN other games, Maffra will look to make it backto-back wins when they welcome Drouin.

Although the Hawks are winless and at the foot of the ladder, that record does not do them justice.

Of the six games Drouin has lost, four have been by under 10 points, while they have also kicked at least 10 goals in five of those games.

General feedback around the league has been that the Hawks have decided to go all-out attack this season, and as such, have been a hard team to defend against.

Basically, you can't stop Drouin scoring, so you have to keep scoring yourself in order to beat them.

With decent conditions forecast for Saturday in Maffra, an old-fashioned shootout could be on the cards.

ELSEWHERE, the two Ws in Wonthaggi and Warragul will meet.

The Power should win easily at home and stay in touch with those fighting for positions in the top three.

Unfortunately for the Gulls, they are genuinely the walking wounded at present, and could have no choice but to play some kids over the next few weeks.

While injuries happen in football, the way in which they occur can have a very demoralising effect on a group. The horrific leg injury suffered

by Warragul playing-coach Jed Lamb a few weeks ago may well belong in that category.

Think back to Nathan Brown - Richmond's season never recovered after that.

Not quite side by side NETBALL

By LIAM DURKIN

WHO would have thought all wasn't well at Collingwood.

While the football team might be on top of the AFL ladder, the netball side is facing a battle to survive in the major league.

The Magpies' future in Super Netball looks to be teetering, as dwindling revenue and poor performance has plunged the netball department into crisis.

Collingwood has announced it is reviewing its Super Netball program, fuelling suggestion the Magpies will indeed withdraw from the nations premier netball competition.

The Magpies are currently equal-last on the ladder with a 2-8 record.

If Collingwood was to leave, it would reduce the competition to seven sides.

Due to broadcast rights with Fox, the league must comprise eight teams.

In a statement, Netball Australia said it was working through the situation.

"Netball Australia has been notified by Collingwood that it is reviewing its Suncorp Super Netball team program," the statement read.

"We're working with Collingwood and all stakeholders in relation to this matter.

"Netball Australia is committed to an eight-team Suncorp Super Netball competition in 2024."

The news is indeed unfortunate for the Latrobe Valley, as well as some local players with ties to Collingwood.

The Magpies came to Traralgon for a three-day preseason tournament in 2021, and played the Australian Netball Championships there last year.

Current Moe playing-coach Ramayer Gourley won a spot on the Collingwood list for the championships, as did three-time Gippsland League A Grade

Clouded: The future of Collingwood’s netball team is in doubt, with the club reviewing its viability in the super league. The Magpies have played games in Latrobe City in the past.

Pictured during a 2021 visit to Traralgon are players Geva Mentor and Shimona Nelson with Netball Victoria Eastern Region Manager Judy Buhagiar (left) and Latrobe City Councillor (then Mayor) Sharon Gibson (middle). File photograph best-and-fairest winner Montana Holmes.

Holmes, who has had stints at Moe, Sale and Maffra, is currently a training partner with Collingwood.

The strength of the Melbourne Vixens has also been identified as a contributing factor to Collingwood's struggles as a netballing identity.

This is not the first ill-fated partnership Collingwood Football Club has ventured into.

The Magpies formed a joint-venture with the Collingwood Warriors Soccer Club in the late 90s which lasted one season.

Looks like it isn't only country footy/netball where all the attention goes to one section of the club.

Valley footy teams in for a roadtrip

Big Freeze beanies return to the Valley Junior ranks COLES stores in the Latrobe Valley are aiming to climb up the FightMND fundraising ladder for Big Freeze 9.

Last year, shoppers at Coles Traralgon raised more than $49,000 for FightMND, Australia’s leading MND foundation, meaning the Traralgon store raised the sixth highest total nationally.

In 2022, Coles stores in the Latrobe Valley raised more than $104,000 collectively between Traralgon, Moe and Morwell.

The new Big Freeze 9 beanies are now available in all Coles supermarkets, selected Coles Express sites and via Coles Online, with 100 per cent of funds from beanies sales going to FightMND. Coles will also donate 10 cents from the sale of more than 90 Coles Brand Australian Fresh Pork products and 20 cents from each specially marked pack of Coles Australian Pork Boneless Shoulder Roast, Coles Regular Pork 3 Star Mince 500g and Coles Australian Pork Loin Chops sold in its supermarkets and through Coles Online until Tuesday, 20 June to the Big Freeze 9 campaign.

In the true spirit of the 'Big Freeze', for the first time, Coles has partnered with iconic Australian brand Peters Ice Cream and will be donating $1 from the sale of specially marked Big Freeze Icy Pole Lemonade eight-packs to the cause. Customers can also make a donation of their choice at any Coles supermarket or with their Coles Online shop.

All money raised at Coles will be invested into cutting-edge research projects focused on fast-tracking new MND treatments and driving discoveries towards a cure as well as supporting projects to help improve the lives of Australians living with MND. Coles chief operations and sustainability officer, Matt Swindells, said Coles’ annual FightMND campaign has grown from humble beginnings to now being the organisation’s biggest community fundraiser each year.

“Coles is delighted to partner with FightMND for the sixth year in a row to help fight the ‘beast’ and find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease,” he said.

“Whether you’re putting Aussie pork on your fork, wearing a Big Freeze 9 beanie as you shop or enjoying a Peters Icy Pole Lemonade, there’s now more ways than ever at Coles to support this very important charity.”

“Coles is extremely proud to have already raised more than $20 million over five years for FightMND and we can’t thank our customers, team members, pork farmers and suppliers enough for their ongoing support and commitment to this cause.”

“We’re looking forward to our biggest and best Big Freeze campaign ever and can’t wait to get stuck into raising funds to support all those people, families and communities affected by MND.” FightMND patron and co-founder Neale Daniher AO, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2013, urged all Australians to help lead the fight against this beast of a disease.

“I live by the words ‘when all is said and done, more is said than done. It’s not about what you say, it’s about what you do.’ So this Big Freeze 9, I’m asking Australians to join the fight and lead with their actions,” he said “By donning your beanie, you’re making your mark in the fight against MND. One day, when we live in a world free of this disease, you can stand proud knowing you helped us get there.

"Join me in the all in fight against MND and let's show this Beast that we won't back down."

Coles has once again partnered with its Aussie

pork farmers to support the cause, a unique collaboration that has helped raise significant money for Australia’s leading MND foundation over the past five years.

Coles’ fundraising campaign for FightMND will run until Tuesday, 20 June in all Coles supermarkets and until Wednesday, June 28 at selected Coles Express sites.

The campaign coincides with the AFL’s annual 'Big Freeze at the G' blockbuster between Collingwood and Melbourne on King’s Birthday, as well as Big Freeze matches in Western Australia (West Coast versus Collingwood, June 3) and for the first time ever, in Queensland (Brisbane versus Sydney, June 16).

The Big Freeze event strikes a chord closer to the Valley, as Neale Daniher's son Ben plays for Moe. Neale Daniher has been present at a few Moe games this season.

Sale reveals 2010s team of the decade SALE Football-Netball Club recently unveiled its team of the decade for the 2010s.

The selection committee had the difficult task of picking the best players to have donned the black and white between 2011 and 2020.

There was 28 players picked on an extended interchange, 21 of whom were present on Saturday, May 6 when the team was announced.

Club president Simon Turnbull presented each player with a certificate noting their induction.

Sale played in two Grand Finals in the 2010s, winning the Gippsland League premiership in 2012.

Of the 21 that played in the 2012 triumph, 18 were selected in the team of the decade.

Premiership coach Matt Ferguson was named coach, which included fellow senior coach Shane Fyfe, and the late Justin McLay.

Fyfe officially became 'Five Time Fyfe' during the 2010s after winning his fifth Sale FNC best and fairest.

Midfielder Kane Martin almost did likewise, winning four.

Martin was one of three Magpies to win the Gippsland League best and fairest during the decade. Other winners were Luke Collins and Jack Lipman, who both took midfield positions in the team of the decade.

There was some AFL representation in the form of current Brisbane Lions star Josh Dunkley, who cut his teeth in Sale.

Pundits probably got an insight into just how good Dunkley was going to be when he played in the 2012 Sale premiership as a mere 15-year-old.

The Sale FNC games record was broken during the decade when Chris Laverty overtook Kane Fraser's mark of 286.

Laverty set the new record in 2018, before becoming the first Magpie to reach 300 senior games the following year.

Speaking of Magpie records, Sale's own Scott

Pendlebury broke the Collingwood games record when he ran out for game number 314 in 2020.

His younger brother Ryan took a place at centre half back in Sale's team of the decade.

Not a bad half-back line: Fyfe, Pendlebury, Laverty.

Brothers Brad and Jordan Dessent also made the team, and were among many who received league accolades last decade.

Brad won the goal kicking in 2019, the same year Jordan captained the interleague side.

The Sale FNC Past Players Association put on the event as part of their annual gathering, with guest speaker and Norm Smith Medallist David Rhys-Jones addressing attendees.

Moving into the following decade, while it is unlikely anyone thought it would start with a global pandemic, the Magpies have already had a number of key events happen in the early part of the 2020s.

Grand Final appearances for the seniors and reserves last season were noteworthy, as were long overdue upgrades to Sale Oval.

A number of players in the team of the decade

are still playing senior football with Sale, while others have transitioned to see out their twilight years in the reserves.

FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE

BY LIAM DURKIN

FOLLOWING the All Stars bye round, the junior half of the Gippsland League will provide some interesting matchups when Round 7 commences this weekend.

In the Fourths, Traralgon makes the trip to Bairnsdale, looking to further cement top spot. The Redlegs are threatening and sit not far behind in third, and will be out to give Traralgon their first loss of the season.

Another close game between fourth and fifth, in Moe and Leongatha, is on the cards over in farmer’s country.

Leongatha has had a rocky start to the season and will be preparing for Moe’s superstar forward-midfielder Thomas Mathews, who currently sits well on top of the league goal kicking with 23.

Moving further down the ladder, the bottom four sides will battle it out with winless Wonthaggi hosting Warragul and last-placed Morwell venturing to Sale in search of their first four points of the season. Small shout out to Wonthaggi’s Seth McBean, who continues to create game day vlogs even though he has not had the satisfaction of a win yet.

MOVING up an age group to the Under 18s, Traralgon, once again, intend to tighten their grasp on the number one spot.

In their way stands fifth-placed Bairnsdale, who will look to show not just Traralgon, but the league what they are really made of.

Moe plans to get back on the winners list when they take on second-placed Leongatha.

Following their loss to the green and gold, Morwell has a great chance to achieve their second win of the season against winless Sale.

Sitting third, Maffra will battle it out with Drouin in a match where the Hawks will also have the same intentions as Morwell, chasing an additional four points.

Warragul has the bye. *James Pace is a Year 10 student doing work experience with the Express.

 THORPDALE V HILL END

THERE has not been too many times in recent years that Thorpdale were in a position to make it two wins in a row, but that’s exactly what was on offer for the Blues last weekend when they welcomed Hill End. Thorpdale started the game as warming favourites and deservingly so, and went on to secure an impressive 16.13 (109) to 8.6 (54) victory.

Blues coach Jason Winderlich was pleased with the result.

“Slow start in the first half with our work around the contest. Once we tidied up our contested work and pressure around the ball our offence flowed from there,” he said.

“Huge test against another top three team this week at Morwell East. Another big week of recovery and training is required to give ourselves the best opportunity to compete.”

Thorpdale has surprised teams in the competition in recent weeks as they make the most of every opportunity.

The win gave two-time Thorpdale best-andfairest winner and former captain Shannon Pickering even more reason to celebrate his 200th game.

Hill End coach Mike Santo paid credit to the Blues.

“Lack of consistent effort throughout the game cost us again,” he said.

“We string some impressive passages together but can’t maintain it for any length of time. Thorpdale wore us down and deserved the win, another tough challenge next week (against MDU).”  MIRBOO NORTH V MDU

THERE was always going to be a lot to learn from this clash between fifth-placed Mirboo North and fourth-positioned Meeniyan Dumbalk United.

The Tigers, backing up on their home ground after their surprise loss to Thorpdale just seven days before, were expecting to feel the heat early from a confident Demons team.

The heat is what they got, but nonetheless, Mirboo North prevailed, winner 9.7 (61) to 7.9 (51).

“Twenty mills of overnight rain made the ground pretty heavy going,” Mirboo North coach Peter Mongta said.

“We felt like we had control of the game in the first half but MDU outworked us in the third but didn’t capitalise. The last three minutes of the fourth quarter MDU kicked three quick goals to narrow the margin to 10 points.”

The Demons have been solid for much of the year, but now need to chase down their first away win to stay with the top sides.

“Mirboo North outworked and outplayed us on their home deck. Next week we go to Hill End and need to get our first win away from home,” MDU coach Nathan Allen said.

There is improvement being shown from

THE Sharks had not forgotten the Magpies kicked them out of the finals race in 2022, and to that end, were keen to put on a show that went some way to turning the tables on Yinnar’s home ground.

Entering Round 5, the home team sat third and the visitors six, but with a superior percentage meaning a win for Tarwin would have them likely jump a spot or two up the ladder.

What unfolded however was a surprisingly comfortable win for Yinnar 16.6 (102) to 5.6 (36).

Yinnar coach Daniel Taylor labelled it his side’s best win for the season so far.

“It was another solid four quarter effort by the lads, intensity and pressure was at a high level all day which energised the group as the game went on,” he said.

“Another team effort right across the board which was the most pleasing thing. Probably fair to say that Tarwin didn’t have a great day, they are a good side and I have no doubt they’ll bounce back.”

Tarwin coach Troy Hemming said it was a disappointing performance.

“We weren’t us today. We had a few patches where we could have kicked a few goals and switched the momentum but we didn’t take that opportunity,” he said.  FISH CREEK V FOSTER

FISH Creek, eighth, met Foster, seventh, with the victor capable of jumping anywhere up to third on the ladder in one pounce.

Both the Kangaroos and Tigers were aware of the importance of the encounter and both were desperate to not burn an opportunity to stay in touch with the business end of town.

In the end, Fish Creek won a low scoring encounter 4.10 (34) to 3.5 (23).

While it wasn’t pretty, Fish Creek coach Jarrod Walker said he was happy to get the four points all the same.

“A great Gippsland day of footy, a tough slog and an arm wrestle all day. Pleased to get the win against the old foe,” he said.

Foster counterpart Sam Davies was willing to put things into context.

“We got outplayed in terrible match conditions. Horror day actually, nothing went our way. Two gifted goals in a low scoring game that couldn’t be explained doesn’t help either.”  STONY CREEK V TOORA

TWO teams that are working as hard as any in the competition, were given the chance for a win. They might have been 11th and 12th on the MGFNL ladder, but the clash was approached by both as if a finals spot was on offer.

The Lions were too strong, winning 11.5 (71) to 5.3 (33).

An amazingly honest Stony Creek coach Chris Verboon said postgame: “It was a strange game of footy with the umpiring decisions in the third quarter* playing a part in swinging the momentum our way. We did manage to play some clean footy in patches and use the open side of the ground.”

As much as the result was important, so too was the fundraising taking place off field.

“Was a special day to be involved in today for Stony Creek’s Big Freeze event.

Congratulations to all involved,” Toora coach Jack Weston said.

“The footy was a slog all day, and aside from some lapses in concentration we put in an acceptable performance.

“Unfortunately good players and sides make you pay for these moments.” *The Express understands umpires stopped the game in the third quarter amid allegations of umpire abuse.

BOOLARRA had the bye.

Bulldogs still undefeated

FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

BY LIAM SMITH*

NEWBOROUGH and Morwell East entered their Round 5 clash of the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League undefeated. At the end of the match however, the Bulldogs were the only ones carrying this title, as they walked off their home ground 15.16 (106) to 6.11 (47) victors. The result means Newborough are outright leaders at the top of the MGFNL senior ladder.

The home side looked very strong after one quarter of play, leading 5.4 (34) to 1.3 (9), from which time they went on their merry way.

Josh Hecker, Jake Bowden, Liam Flahavin and Peter Ainsworth all stood out. Veteran Ainsworth rolled back the clock, racking up multiple possessions around the ground, contributing to a significant victory at the Kennel.

Newborough coach Craig Skinner was pleased with proceedings.

“Saturday was another hard, physical contest in heavy conditions. We were focused on starting well and playing four consistent quarters,” he said.

“Paul Henry had a team that was prepared to do the same and the game was played hard right to the end.

“After five weeks we’ve played all the top five sides and now head to Toora on the bus and like every other week, never 100 per cent sure what to expect from a South Gippsland side playing at home.”

Hawks ruckman Isaac Abas was a dominant force, however the team failed to take advantage of his control of the hit outs. Better players for Morwell East were Tony Nicholson, Michael Diaz, Eric Semmler, Jarryd Pickett, Matt Cunningham and Brandon Francis.

“Newborough were very well organised. Their skills moving the ball were excellent,” Hawks coach Paul Henry said.

“Our skills and decisions just weren’t where they needed to be to win the game. We are disappointed as a group, but we have to accept the loss in order to move forward.” *Liam Smith is a Year 11 student doing work placement at the Express.

He was also a boundary umpire at this game.

Umps negotiate mass shortage FOOTBALL UMPIRING

BY LIAM DURKIN

HEAVEN forbid if the Gippsland League played last weekend.

“There is no Gippsland League games this week, thank God for us,” were the words of Latrobe Valley Umpires Association director Steve Esler when reading out appointments last Thursday night.

The Gippsland League bye gave the LVUA a tiny bit of relief, as the list of local umpires unavailable resembled what is often seen for a reserves football coach in the middle of July.

In what became an unfortunate case of ‘when it rains it pours’, close to 30 umpires were unable to take to the field last Saturday.

A combination of injury and illness meant stocks were decimated, so much so that the senior match between Mirboo North and MDU in the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League had to be officiated by club field umpires.

Given the circumstances, the LVUA did a commendable job making sure this was the only game where club field umpires had to be used. It should be noted there was efforts made with the Leongatha-based South Gippsland Umpires to get to Mirboo North for the game, but they to were facing similar shortages. The LVUA also supplied goal and boundary umpires for the match.

Those who were available answered the call to arms, with many doubling-up.

Usual goal umpire Bryan Sultana even traded the flags for the whistle, becoming a field umpire for the day.

“Shout out to the guys who are running this week, we have been absolutely decimated with unavailability,” Esler said.

“We’ve had 27 unavailable this weekend, unfortunately guys are doubling up and we’re obviously very, very short.”

While the situation left the LVUA in an invidious position, it will hopefully remain in the ‘outlier’ group for the rest of the season.

Much like a wedding during cricket season, there are some weeks where you literally have no one to choose from.

Speaking on Gippsland FM last Saturday morning, local field umpire Mark Smith, who umpired last year’s Mid Gippsland senior Grand Final, said the game simply needed more officials.

“I think the biggest thing is we need some more ex-footballers that are probably just retired, they

are ready-made umpires, they know what the players are thinking, they know the rules,” he said.

Smith pointed to umpiring as being a great way to keep fit, stay involved in the game, as well as getting some monetary reward for effort.

“It’s not pittance, it’s not peanuts for what you do, it’s pretty good money,” he said.

Amid a difficult weekend, there was at least one positive, with boundary umpire Mal Quail umpiring his first senior game when Newborough met Morwell East.

If events of last weekend were not evidence enough, it is hard for football to flourish without umpires.

Traf and Yarragon still in top-five after defeats Morwell East

FOOTBALL ELLINBANK DISTRICT

BY LIAM DURKIN

FORMER Mid Gippsland clubs Trafalgar and Yarragon are both currently in the top-five of the Ellinbank District Football-Netball League.

The Bloods sit third on five wins and two losses, while the Panthers are fifth with a 3-3 record.

Trafalgar lost to reigning premier Neerim Neerim

Ladder could be shuffled FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

BY JAMES PACE*

IN the small league of just six teams, a must-see game will be held at Mirboo North this weekend in the Mid Gippsland FootballNetball League Under 18s.

The match between first-placed Mirboo North and second-placed Meeniyan-Dumbalk United promises to be hotly contested.

Following a monster six goals from young gun Max Woodall, the Tigers will plan to climb further ahead of MDU, who sit with three wins and one loss each.

In the hope that Mirboo North come out victorious, and already having a higher percentage than MDU, Yinnar intend to steal second spot, taking on the winless Newborough.

Thank God for Newborough that Yinnar are expected to have some thirds players playing seniors, because the impact of Luke Cheffers would be instrumental to their Thirds side.

Lastly, in the southern classic, Fish Creek host Foster, where both sides will be looking to climb further ahead of each other both having two wins to their name. *James Pace is a Year 10 student doing work experience with the Express.

South in a low-scoring match last weekend, 9.9 (63) to 4.9 (33).

Conditions at Trafalgar Recreation Reserve for the Round 7 clash were as one would expect when there is one oval accommodating a senior and junior club coming into Winter.

Both sides struggled to score after the ball got waterlogged at quarter time. NNS only added four goals after the first break, while the Bloods only managed one.

Best players for Trafalgar were Mitch Virtue, Jamie Hines, Dylan Farrell, Jace Butler, Ben Cunico and Bailey Webb.

The reserves clash returned a staggering score line, with some astonishing inaccuracy in front of goal from NNS. The visitors had 1.14 (20) on the board at quarter time, 4.16 (40) at three quarter time, and improved to 11.17 (83) when the full time siren sounded.

YARRAGON lost a match that could come back

to haunt them when finals positions are decided.

The Panthers dropped the bundle against Nyora, losing a true wet weather slog 6.7 (43) to 2.7 (19) at home.

Nyora had only won a single game heading into the match, meaning Yarragon missed a golden opportunity to get some separation from the logjam in the middle of the ladder.

As a result, the Panthers are one of three teams occupying places five to seven.

Better players in the loss were Josh Vosper, Trav Davis, Tyler Payroli, Liam Smith Butterworth and Harrison Griffiths.

Yarragon will be hoping for better luck when former St Kilda goal sneak Stephen Milne suits up for a game on Saturday, June 24.

And of course, that match is against Trafalgar at Yarragon, when the two rivals will play for the Waterloo Shield.

farewell legend

Fiddelaers brings up 200 FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

HILL END defender Rob Fiddelaers played his 200th senior game in the green and gold recently.

Fiddelaers brought up the milestone in the Rovers’ match against Toora in Round 2 of the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League season.

In doing so, he became just the eighth person to reach 200 senior games for Hill End. Fittingly, all Hill End 200 gamers, including Rob’s brother Simon, gathered for a photo before the game.

The Fiddelaers name is synonymous with the Willow Grove area. Rob’s father Hank has served on the Willow Grove Recreation Reserve Committee of Management for the best part of 30 years.

A Hill End player through and through, Rob Fiddelaers has played for Hill End Football-Netball Club right from the very beginning, coming up from juniors to make his senior debut in 2008.

His consistency saw him named in Hill End’s team of the decade for the 2010’s, a decade which ended with a memorable run to the 2019 MGFNL Grand Final.

Few would have been more loyal than Fiddelaers, who had to wait 11 years before playing in his

Vale: Morwell East great Laurie Coulson is being remembered.

Proud: Robert Fiddelaers (left) is congratulated on reaching 200 senior games for Hill End by father Hank, alongside fellow 200 gamer and brother Simon.

Photograph supplied first finals series. Even that only tells part of the story - before making the 2019 decider, Hill End had finished in the bottom three seven times in the previous 11 years.

A further finals series followed last season, while Hill End won the minor premiership in the abandoned season of 2021.

MORWELL EAST Football-Netball Club great Laurie Coulson died last week.

Coulson contributed outstandingly to the life and times of Morwell East FNC, helping out in any way he could.

He goal umpired up to three games a week, and then moved into time keeping where he would do up to four games a week.

In all, he assisted in more than 1000 games.

Coulson would also regularly attend training nights, doing any odd jobs that needed doing.

His work saw him awarded life membership of Morwell East FNC in 2000. He was 89.

TTU resumes Gaskkin rout

FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

BY TOM HAYES

SOME telling results in Round 7 of the North Gippsland FootballNetball League have shaken up the competition.

Multiple clubs have traded places on the ladder, while some of those clubs had weekends to remember.

TRARALGON Tyers United continued their run over Churchill at Gaskin Park, convincingly defeating them on their home deck once again.

A tight first half saw the visitors take a one goal lead at quarter time and extend that into an 11-point lead by the half.

The footy was hot and hard to get control of in the wet, slippery conditions, but TTU showed their class in the second half.

A 4.3 (27) to 0.2 (2) third term separated the two sides, as the Bombers took control of the match and displayed why they belonged on top of the ladder.

The Cougars were dismantled by the final siren as they appeared to experiment in the final term, conceding another six goals, closing out a 63-point victory for the Bombers, 13.15 (93) to 4.6 (30).

Ricky Cochrane was best on ground for the winners, seemingly on his own at most times, while Tom Fleming, Mitch Mustoe, Hayden Willaton, Kade Duncan and Frazar Brouns were also standouts.

Blake Slater impressed in his return for Churchill, as did Andy Phelan, Chris Kyriacou, Jordan Fenech, Jarrod Henderson and Dillon Leys.

TTU will be pleased with the victory no doubt, as they create a buffer at the top of the ladder, eight points clear of newly-promoted second-placed Woodside.

Churchill drop to third following the loss, but have a favourable run of games up until the King’s Birthday weekend bye.

They will be hoping for a swift return from the likes of Chris Williams, Ben Kearns and Chris Wangman who were all significant absentees.

Churchill will hope to return to the winner’s list immediately when they face the winless Gormandale at the Boneyard, while TTU face Yallourn Yallourn North at home in a Grand Final rematch.

IN another top-four clash, Yarram hosted Woodside at Yarram Recreation Reserve.

With similarities to the Cougars-Bombers game, a tight first half was then blown out of the water in the second half by the visiting team.

Woodside took a one-point lead at quarter time and translated it into an eight-point lead by the main break.

They were predicted to have their way with Yarram, but the Demons weren’t going down without a fight up to this point.

A one-sided third term seemingly put the game to bed, thanks to nine goals from Woodside, which was just about the difference in the end.

Woodside’s 56-point threequarter-time-lead grew narrowly to 59 at the game’s end, as they assert themselves in the competition.

The stand-out performers for Woodside were from Jeremy Morgan, Ryan Foat, Lee Stockdale, Joshua Kennedy, Michael O’Sullivan and Daniel Farmer - who kicked five goals and moved into second in the league with 30 majors for the season.

For Yarram, Tyler Chisholm, Griffin Underwood, Jake McFarland, Liam Bentley, Dylan Garnham and Thomas Mattern played admirably.

weekend to host Rosedale in what could be overly successful for the Wildcats, and as for the Demons - they get a break with the bye.

HEYFIELD were unstoppable when they hosted Cowwarr in Sale for the Hollonds-Komen Cup. Their lead steadily grew over four quarters as they established their biggest win throughout the 2023 season.

Back-to-back six goals quarters from the Kangaroos gave them breathing room at the main break, leading by 63 points, keeping the Saints to 1.2 (8) per quarter.

The third term was explosive, as the hosts kicked 9.3 (57) to one straight, surpassing triple figures on both the scoreboard and in the margin.

They closed out the win with six more majors in the final term, gaining a well-deserved percentage boost, 27.16 (178) to 5.5 (35).

Fifteen-year-old debutant Mitch Stevens kicked three goals for Heyfield, which was an added positive for the side who look to have strong juniors coming through.

Brayden Woodland, Robert McMillan, Tyson Birss, Kodie Woodland, Mitchell Bennett and Bailey Escreet were other stand-outs for the Kangaroos.

As for Cowwarr, Shane Morgan, Lee Bourke, Rhys Luxford, Brayden Rioli, Jackson Davison and Sean Alexander had decent individual performances.

Heyfield climb to sixth place with the win, and only sit outside the top five by nine per cent.

Next week they travel to Sale City for what will be a telling

mid-table clash, while Cowwarr are faced with the challenge of Glengarry, who are fresh off of their first win.

THE Magpies are on the board, after defeating Gormandale at home in the bottom-of-the-ladder clash.

It was 10th versus 11th at Glengarry Recreation Reserve, and plenty was on the line and neither side would’ve wanted to be stranded on no wins.

It wasn’t always smoothsailing for the home side, but they gave themselves the best chance thanks to a dominating first half of football.

Glengarry was off to a fast start, kicking 5.2 (32) to 1.0 (6) in the opening term, backing that up with 6.0 (36) to 1.3 (9) in the next quarter.

The 53-point buffer would’ve been enough to get over the line at the end of the match, but Gormandale didn’t go away easy.

The Tigers won the final two quarters, fighting back by outscoring the home side.

However the margin was too big to claw back, as 53 points turned to 49, then 39 by the final siren.

For Glengarry, Alex Birmingham, Benjamin Truin, Declan Massaro, Andrew May, Luke Healy and Spencer Poulton all rose to the occasion.

Luke Farry, Tristan Salerno, Isaac Copland, Flynn Roscoe, William Flanagan and Trent Baldwin were spirited for Gormandale in defeat.

Glengarry remain in 10th, but have finally picked up their first four points.

The Magpies will hope to use their momentum on Cowwarr

who struggled at the weekend, while Gormandale begin a tough run of games - starting with Churchill at home.

SALE CITY survived a late scare to hold off Rosedale at Rosedale Recreational Reserve.

A positive start gave the visitors an early lead, which they worked to extend, turning at 15-point quarter-time lead into a 19-point half-time lead.

The Bulldogs struggled to convert in the third term, allowing Rosedale back into the contest.

The Blues added 2.4 (16) to 0.6 (6) to bring the margin back to just nine points with a quarter to play.

But Sale City righted their wrongs, making amends for their poor third-quarter conversion, kicking 4.5 (29) to 0.2 (2) in the final quarter to secure the four points.

For the winning side, Blake Safstrom, Kaden McCulloch, Harry Kaandorp, Chad Evans, Tom Bowman and Zach Robertson excelled.

While for Rosedale, Luke Stuckey, Spencer Fox, Declan Barnett and Thomas Northe were notably their best.

Despite the win, Sale City fell to seventh, due to Heyfield’s huge percentage boost, while Rosedale remain in ninth.

The Blues travel to Woodside this weekend to take on one of the more in form teams this season, and Sale City host the Kangaroos in an important fight for finals.

YYN had the bye.

The Jets return to face TTU in Tyers for Grand Final rematch this weekend coming.

Broader view with Liam Durkin Fevolution

GREAT get by Rosedale FNC having Brendan Fevola come and give a talk to the club recently.

As expected, Fev was a larger-than-life character, full of humorous stories from his colourful career.

While most football followers have probably heard most Fevola stories over the years, what perhaps gets lost amid some of the controversy is the goodwill shown by the big fella.

Like most youngsters, growing up there was a few trips to Melbourne hospitals for various appointments.

Waiting for my brother one day, I do recall seeing Fevola leaving the children's wards with a Carlton official after meeting some sick kids to try and put a smile on their face.

It is unfortunate those stories are ones the public never hears.

Fighting on

STAYING with Rosedale for a moment, speaking to a few club members at the Fevola talk, it was pleasing (and equally surprising it must be said) to hear that morale around the club was still high.

This coming not long after the Blues' senior team had suffered a near-200 point loss.

The early season absence of a few players came at the worst time, as Rosedale was scheduled to play a strong Churchill outfit, a team that looks like they'll be among those fighting for the silverware.

Perhaps the most untold story out of the game was Sam Bristow managing to kick four goals for the Blues.

A forward is generally thought to have had a productive day if they manage four majors. To do so when supply was clearly lacking is a commendable effort.

What's in a name

IT seems a few Gippsland League clubs have rebranded their reserves teams, now calling them 'Development'.

Looking through the Record notes on a weekly basis, Traralgon, Warragul and Moe are running with the term, following the lead of Leongatha, who started the trend last season.

For what it's worth, the thinking forms part of a change in language to how traditional reserves grade footy is viewed.

Unlike what most people think when they hear the phrase 'twos footy', a lot of Gippsland League reserves teams are filled with senior quality players.

Truthfully, there are some Gippy League twos teams that would beat most North Gippsland and East Gippsland senior sides.

I'll go as far to say Leongatha's second's side from last year was so good they would have made senior finals in the Gippy League.

That being said, the running joke about 'how much can some reserve grade players develop?' is understandable.

Strangely enough, Mid Gippsland club Newborough might have been ahead of the curve when it came to renaming its seconds.

The Bulldogs renamed their reserves 'Development' as far back as 10 years ago.

As someone who has only ever played in the early game, I won't be offended if you still want to call it twos, magoos, scoobs, scooby-doos or the lunchtime league.

Luck of the draw

THEY do say timing is everything Just two years after heading the Mid Gippsland ladder, Hill End finds itself planted at the foot of the table as the only winless team in the competition.

The Rovers looked a more than decent chance of winning the flag in 2021, before COVID put paid to those chances.

Having made the decider in 2019, kept their squad together during the cancelled 2020, another

cancellation well and truly came at the worst possible time.

And with a senior flag drought stretching all the way back to 1981, is it any wonder Hill End was desperate to get a result from the 2021 season? So much so they were prepared to play a Grand Final as late as December if they had to.

Unfortunately for the Rovers, they belong to the list of teams who's premiership window may have coincided with COVID. Similarly, Woodside was on top of the North Gippsland ladder when the season was brought to a halt in 2021.

Woodside in its current form (Woodside District) is yet to win a senior North Gippy flag, although it still looks to be in a window of contention, currently occupying second on the ladder.

Moe supporters will also be hoping 2021 wasn't their best chance of winning a long-awaited Gippsland League flag.

The Lions probably had their strongest team in more than a decade that year, and ended with an 8-2 record, those two losses being by under two goals to top sides Leongatha and Wonthaggi.

Moe takes on the Parrots this Saturday in what is a one v two clash.

Back to Hill End, when you consider the players they have lost in the last fews years, it is perhaps little wonder to see them in the position they are now in.

Names such as Bayley Paul, Ben Kerrigan, Chase Saunders, Dylan Brooks, Tyler Pratt, Jack Hudson, Dylan Keyhoe, Luke Mulqueen, Jimmy Grant, Nathan Balfour and Nathan Lee are more than noticeable outs.

Only four players from Hill End's 2019 Grand Final team played last Saturday.

The emotional toll has also probably played a part for Hill End. There was a certain degree of romance attached to the Rovers in 2019, the likes of which will be impossible to manufacture or replicate again.

Wonthaggi found itself involved in a sea of similar sentimentality in 2014.

Milestone for Pies youngster FOOTBALL TDJFL

JORDAN Mayer celebrated his 50th game for Glengarry Junior Football Club at the weekend.

Jordan plays in the Under 11s for the Magpies, and this is his third year playing.

The youngster loves footy so much he even played two games every Sunday while still in the Under 9s.

Glengarry took on undefeated TEDAS for Jordan's milestone, putting in an awesome team game and coming away with a much-improved result from their last outing against TEDAS. A Richmond fanatic, Jordan has enjoyed Tigers' successes of recent times, and loves watching his favourite player Dustin Martin.

GIPPSLAND League will head into Round 7 of the 2023 season with some interesting matchups.

Traralgon and Bairnsdale go head-to-head. The Maroons will be aiming to get just their second win under their belt. Leongatha and Moe, will play against each other for that second-place slot on the ladder. The Lions, hot off an impressive win against Traralgon, will have their firepower

Whats to come on the Gippsland courts NETBALL

By ZAIDA GLIABANOVIC

The Power made the Grand Final that year after overcoming a 45-point deficit at three quarter time in the preliminary final.

Interviewing former Wonthaggi ruckman Earl Shaw some years ago, he admitted the side was "emotionally gassed" for the Grand Final after that.

Timing again, how much making that Grand Final took out of Wonthaggi may have been realised just five years later when the Power requested a move out of the major league.

They are now back among the flag contenders.

in Ramayer Gourley who will be the focus of the Parrot’s defenders. Morwell will face Sale who just came off a great win against Drouin, which could give the Pies the confidence they need to take on those tenacious Tigers. Warragul will drive over to Wonthaggi to cut the Power as the Gulls have found their feet this year with two strong wins.

Maffra is still hunting for their first win of the season against Drouin on Saturday.

IN Round 8 of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League, Sale City and Heyfield will face off in

In other games, Gormandale will do well to concede less than 30 goals against Churchill, while Glengarry take on Cowwarr.

Yallourn Yallourn North and TTU chase a win and Yarram have the bye.

IN Mid Gippsland, Boolarra and Yinnar go headto-head, keen to test their abilities against one another. Newborough and Toora will be another interesting match-up that might go down to the wire. Tarwin and Fish Creek play each other, while Mirboo North will hope to get an easy win against Foster.

Conquering challenges RAISING the bar and cooperative teamwork were the themes for St Paul's Anglican Grammar School Year 6 students during their challenging leadership day at The Summit in Trafalgar East.

Students scaled new heights, not only by climbing a series of ladders to reach the top of a huge tower, but also by venturing outside of their comfort zones throughout the day.

Mud was no barrier when students completed the Monster Course Run, facing the challenge head-on and testing their endurance while supporting their friends along the way.

They also took a leap of faith during the flying fox, while problem-solving activities helped improve their teamwork skills.

Anna and Sayuni said that all students had a great day.

“It was a very enjoyable day with laughter, teamwork and going out of your comfort zone.

We learnt how to work as a team and help each other in the process,” they said.

The leadership day provided a great opportunity for students to develop as leaders, by conquering challenges designed to help them enhance their collaboration and communication skills while assisting them to achieve their own goals.

Dreamwork: Working together are St Paul’s students Jayden, Aerin and Frankie.

Poise: Mason balancing over a mud pit during the Snowy River Challenge.

Teamwork required: Ryan, Frankie, Fraser and Lilijah during the Snowy River Challenge.

Hard yards: Lilijah, Nand and Fraser prove there are no barriers when you work together.

Athletics day at Morwell Central THE weather was very kind on the day students at Morwell Central Primary School had their athletics day.

Families enjoyed barracking for the students, and some even dressed in their child’s house colours.

The events that were held were discus, shotput, long jump, hurdles, the bean bag toss and the 100- and 400-metre sprints. Students enjoyed all of these and showed great sportsmanship towards their opponents.

The whole school is already looking forward to next year’s athletics day!

The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 24 May, 2023 — Page 31

Perspective and local point of view on IN response to the ‘Counterargument’ (Latrobe Valley Express, May 3 2023).

These types of disparaging comments have frequently been directed at residents surrounding the Delburn Wind Farm (DWF) development over the last four years.

The article ‘Wind farm blowback’ identified the 1000 Latrobe Valley residents as 1000 Strzelecki Community Alliance (SCA) members, and the evidence is in their membership numbers.

You state that “you know people in the area” and that they have been subject to threatening behaviour from SCA members. You rely on hearsay rather than evidence to support your argument.

You make reference to a “Delburn Wind Farm Commission of Enquiry of 2022”.

To my knowledge there has never been such an enquiry. You may be confused; the Victorian Planning Minister did appointment a Planning Panel to review the DWF planning applications, objections, and submissions which took place in 2022. The Panel Report made recommendations to the Victorian Planning Minister regarding the DWF planning application.

Questioning the validity of a planning application is not an uncommon practice. As we all live in a democracy, we are entitled to query the content of any planning application. This process is open to any person, and not against any law, even if it offends another individual’s own beliefs.

You claim that residents of the Latrobe Valley were given no choice in relation to five power stations and mines over the last 100 years. You again make a claim that is not substantiated by any factual evidence.

The Panel Report ‘overall conclusions’ included the following: “conclusions around the planning provisions do not mean there will be no detrimental effects on some people. There are impacts on a relatively densely settled community that are likely to produce negative outcomes which will be ongoing and may result in lifestyle changes for some community members who do not welcome the significant change to the landscape and environment the project will bring”.

Being a neighbour of this industrial development; I am concerned about the detrimental effects that are likely to produce negative outcomes which will be ongoing, as stated by the Planning Panel.

Being concerned and asking questions incurs being called a climate denier, nimby, anti-wind, hysterical and now a vitriolic opposer. OSMI DWF does not call out the behaviour of the DWF proponents, some of which were members of their now disbanded DWF Community & Stakeholder Consultative Committee.

OSMI will take no responsibility for the negative impacts and will leave the mess for the operators to clean up.

Developers divide communities, and these communities remain divided long after the developers have on-sold their proposal, and moved on.

Questions raised

IRONY upon irony even the ‘No’ vote could make a difference, why?

Not for nearly 60 years or more has the total population been so exposed to the inefficiency across the board to the have-nots and seemingly, the unrepresented.

We are bombarded on a daily basis on and on about the failure of First Nations people to have an effective meaningful say in their own affairs, or so it seems!

Noel Pearson commented in a piece by Rosemary

government is still subsidising fossil fuel industries by almost $10 billion, and continues to approve new gas and coal projects. This will prove detrimental to our future, and our children’s and grandchildren’s future.

I would like to see the government investing more in the renewable energy industry. This emerging and fast growing industry will not only provide clean air and environmental benefits, but also has potential to create thousands of jobs, many here in Gippsland where we have the people skills, expertise and energy transmission infrastructure, as well as providing lower energy cost to households and businesses.

While far better and more sensible than the “votebuying” Liberal budget handed down last year, this Labor budget is just a drop in the ocean of what needs to be done to ensure the Australian economy and community can thrive to its full potential.

The author is a solicitor living and working in the Gippsland region, and stood as an independent candidate in the 2022 Federal Election.

Deb Leonard Cape Woolamai

Healthcare heroes

View: Deb Leonard, who ran as an independent for Monash in the 2022 Federal Election, has expressed her disappointment at the federal budget.

Photograph supplied Neill in the Weekend Australian (May 16) that “The kind of education that you provide to an Aboriginal child on a senate community is so shitful that they end up not going on with their schooling and turn into delinquents.” He also said, “Eighty per cent of the issues we tackle are actually bureaucratic not legislative...”

The question I would ask would be where was your voice in all this, or how ineffective has your voice been so you need a new level of approach that will not guarantee a different and useful outcome?

Why should education for First Nations children be any different from most schools anywhere? It may be impossible to remedy the problems, as the most powerful First Nation leaders have been unable to do so. Where was the voice they have?

How effective have they been, all the naysayers who advocate the yes vote yet seem to all agree most of the stuff of the vote is in place?

Will I vote yes or no, yes or no!

The saga continues.

Peter Lendon Morwell

Let down by an underwhelming federal budget

AFTER all the anticipation of last year’s federal election promises from Labor, I’m sure many were underwhelmed by the recent Labor Federal Budget.

Of course - the best outcome was the extension

of the single parent payment to cover parents with children up to 14-years-old. This is a win for all of our community. Being a single parent is hard enough, without having to choose between putting food on the table or paying the electricity bill, a very real proposition many are currently facing.

But the extension to Centrelink payments did not go far enough. The government’s very own report concluded that the current rate of Jobseeker is actually prohibitive to people finding work. I myself have spoken to people who cannot afford petrol, or appropriate attire to attend job interviews. When people are reduced to such poverty that they merely have to concentrate on surviving, they are not able to reach their full potential as a contributing member of our community.

Raising the rate of Jobseeker was a hot topic among Monash voters during the election campaign last year, and discussed at many kitchen table conversations. Even those not in receipt of Jobseeker agreed that it should be increased to allow people to live with dignity.

The increase of Medicare funding will hopefully encourage more GPs to bulk bill - and I fully commend the GPs who do this - they are sacrificing greater income for the benefit of the community.

But in regional areas where GP waitlists are often long, and specialists are sometimes non-existent, will this translate to better access to health for local residents?

Most disappointingly is that the “strong on climate action” stance the Labor party took during the election appears to have just been spin. The

I HAD an unfortunate experience on Saturday, May 13. While working in the garden I unfortunately stood backwards on a metal sheet that cut very deeply into my leg.

With the help of my lady Marita I managed to wrap the wound with a towel and stop the bleeding.

Marita then called the ambulance. James and Eli arrived and cleaned and wrapped the wound . I was then transported to Latrobe Regional Hospital. I was quickly admitted and put in the hands of nurse practitioners Jade and Paul. They were so good and professional. After 19 stitches I was allowed to go home.

I would like to express my gratitude to ambulance officers James and Eli, and also nurse practitioners Jade and Paul and to staff at Tanjil Place Medical, Moe. It is reassuring to know we have professional, caring people in our health system community.

Thank you so much for your help and support getting back to a healthy existence.

Unanswered six

THANK you, Joseph Lis, for your response (“The cruci-fiction of truth and reality’’, LV Express 10/5), to my previous “condescending” letter.

“Condescending”, Mr Lis? Some would prefer condescending to childish and insulting, as can be found in your regular misaddressing of the PM’s name, ascribing a negative quality of seemingly little relevance to the subject in hand.

You admit you address just one of the seven points in my letter. My view is that the other six remain unaddressed because you can’t and/or won’t, even in your “upcoming book/expose”, in which case people won’t read it.

Unfortunately, even in addressing only point seven, you completely misattribute views, unexpressed by me.

My original letter’s aims included refuting your views on climate change, as ‘’myth”, “terrorism”, and implying climate change experts and their science is fake.

The climate change debate has in fact been over for a long time, the science long established, as professed and verified by close to 100 per cent of the world’s scientists, the effects of which are alarmingly experienced across the globe daily. Your

the ongoing Delburn Wind Farm debate views may now be found in the dustbin of history.

This is the reality, so please explain how I “defy gravity” by acknowledging it.

I made no comment on the main offenders, recalcitrant governments, or inherent problems in establishing remedial policies, and certainly did not “parrot government propaganda” about anything. Your insinuation is outrageous, and I abhor the politicisation of scientific research.

Furthermore, your hypocrisy is obvious, as you, whilst denying climate change, still proclaim “a global problem”. You, like many denialists, even those who admit the planet faces a crisis, simply lack the will to do anything about it.

Fortunately the vast majority realise that the very least we owe the planet is to try.

Red Shield Appeal

WHAT would you say if I told you that Australian kids are going without meals because their mothers can’t afford the weekly grocery shop?

Or missing school because there’s not enough money to put fuel in the car after paying rent?

Indeed, some mums are skipping meals almost daily, just so they can feed their kids and keep a safe roof over their heads.

In such a ‘lucky’ country like Australia, this is difficult to believe but sadly, it is the reality for more and more people.

“I cannot afford to buy food for my kids sometimes and most times I go without food and have lost 40 kilograms in the last nine months because all my money goes on keeping a roof over my kids heads and trying to keep them in a safe place,”

a 55-year-old female supported by The Salvation Army said.

This is just one of countless heart-breaking stories from around the country.

Loving mothers who are going without basic essentials like food, fuel, and electricity - let alone extras like new shoes, school clothes, better toothpaste or birthday presents. (I quote these items as they are taken directly from stories from our clients.)

“When there is nothing to eat, I sell something of my own to get by that week. I get paid fortnightly so I shop when I get paid and always run out no matter how much I buy. All our mental health has declined.

I try my hardest to make sure I have everything they need,” a 28-year-old female supported by The Salvation Army said.

As I read through stories from people we have supported, one word catches my attention - a 34-year-old mum says she feels like a “failure”.

Imagine skipping meals, giving everything you can to your children, yet thinking yourself a failure!

She isn’t a failure at all. She’s a person doing the best they can with what they have, who needs a leg-up to get through these tough times. Someone who shouldn’t struggle alone.

So, considering this, I would say that we, the wider Australian community, need to take action.

Let’s not fail that hardworking mother.

I would ask anyone who is able to, please give to this year’s Red Shield Appeal. I know times are tough and money is tight, but sparing $10, or even $20 or $50 makes a pivotal difference. That gift could be the reason a child doesn’t miss a meal - or a mother doesn’t starve so her kids can eat.

It could be the reason that nobody struggles

alone - because, I think you’ll agree, nobody should.

Major David Collinson The Salvation Army

Powerful words

I WANT to comment on the ‘Mental health help’ letter by Jennifer Makowski, Traralgon (LV Express, May 10).

On reading Jennifer’s article, I was deeply moved, and it enabled me to understand what she and many others in our community go through every day.

Thank you for speaking up for so many others who suffer discrimination silently without receiving the kindness and understanding that they need and deserve.

Hopefully what you have shared will contribute to better understanding and support for others suffering in this way.

Medicare Heart Health Check saved

I AM pleased to say that with the help of more than 41,000 Australians - including your readers - we did it. We saved the Medicare Heart Health Check.

The federal government has heard and understood the importance of this vital check to the heart health of Australians, and is funding a two-year extension of the check in the 2023/24 Budget, ensuring they remain available beyond June 30 this year.

We estimate that this means a further 250,000

Australians will be able to see their GP to learn their risk of heart disease before it’s too late.

More than 41,000 Australians signed the petition to save the checks in just five weeks. Many sent letters to their local MPs, who in turn took up the issue with the government.

Heart disease is mostly preventable but it is a silent killer. As Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler acknowledged in his announcement, the Medicare Heart Health Check is our most potent tool in compelling people to pay attention to their heart health before it’s too late.

The check is available for people aged 45 and over (30 and over for First Nations) and looks at your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, family history, amount of exercise and what you eat, and provides you with an understanding of how likely it is you will have a heart attack or stroke in the coming years.

We extend our gratitude to the Heart Foundation’s extended family: our sector partners, donors, volunteers and supporters, many of whom worked tirelessly to advocate for this life-saving initiative.

Thank you. Your efforts have helped improve the heart health of many Australians and we are grateful for your unwavering commitment to this cause.

And finally - now that you have fought so hard for this check, we urge you to please take it up if eligible.

Beauty of Morwell Rose Garden

Red Shield Appeal: The Salvation Army is again calling on locals to give generously.

File photograph

“I THINK everyone has two birthdays, the day of his physical birth and the beginning of his conscious life.”

Thus begins the 1948 romantic tearjerker Letter From An Unknown Woman, and until I moved to Morwell Rose Garden, I never fully realised just how true those words really were.

For in this garden, I daily recapture the lost wonderland of my childhood. And in this garden I am forever reminded of a lost simplicity, a lost innocence, and a lost Atlantis I thought I would never find again.

Thus, my love for roses is deeply rooted in the knowledge that gardens go beyond just physical beauty. For the fragrances of roses link us to the past. They have an enduring charm.

Indeed, ancient history is filled with reference to the rose. It has been said, although certainly never proved, that roses grew in the Garden of Eden and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Frescoes with roses have been found, some dating back to 1600 BC. Cleopatra supposedly welcomed Marc Antony in a room filled 18 inches deep with rose petals, and the sails of her ship were soaked with rose-water so that “the very winds were love-sick” (Shakespeare, ‘Antony and Cleopatra’, Act 2, Scene 2). Be that as it may, there are moments in the days of all men and women when the things of life fall suddenly and strangely into a new focus. There are moments when a strange justification of all that we have endured seems on the verge of being realised. And thus in this garden, I feel a special kind of peace and transcendence that makes me feel as if I was immortal.

Traralgon District Historical Society

THE Traralgon & District Historical Society recently participated in the celebration of the opening of the new overpass at the Traralgon Railway Station.

Regional Revival Project invited the society to hold a display with images showcasing the overpass throughout the years.

The display generated quite a bit of interest in the community.

At our last general meeting, Ann Andrew was our guest speaker.

Ann gave a very enlightening talk on her research and the history of the Crooke family and Holey Plains.

Ann was invited by the family to sort out the paperwork, which was retained

by the family from the early 1800s.

Amazingly, all correspondence received and sent, dockets, certificates, invoices and receipts had all been kept so it was Ann’s job to collate, create an index and file all of the paperwork in appropriate folders.

This research took Ann on a very interesting path with much information found on Trove of the family and their history.

Winter concerts

GIPPSLAND Acoustic Music Club (GAMC) is trialling moving their monthly club night performances to afternoons from June until September.

They will still be held on the first Sunday of the month but will run from 3pm to 5.30pm.

Recent feedback from members and performers alike has been very positive about this planned change during the colder months.

Our most recent concert, featuring The Humbuckin’ Pickups from Melbourne and the Yarra Valley was a delight!

The band, who have been touring around Australia this year, were very grateful of the warm welcome they received from the GAMC committee and stated “Amazing volunteers like these are the backbone of the folk music scene in Australia - thanks for all the hard work you do to make bands like us able to do our thing."

The next concert, on Sunday, June 4 at 3pm will feature TINMAN, a four piece band of storytellers and magic weavers of folk, gospel and blues-inspired melodies. They imbue the air with warmth and comfort and an earthy sound that is accentuated by an array of enchanting instruments.

Tickets can be pre-purchased at trybooking.com/CIABI or cash-entry at the door; $25 adults, $20 members/ concession, under-18 free.

Ann has written a book on the family and Holey Plains called Success in Kangaroo Land.

A wonderful insight into the history of the family and their property. The society will also be participating in the Latrobe City Volunteering Connections Event which is to be held this Saturday (May 27) at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre.

Our aim is to generate more interest in the society and to hopefully enlist more members.

Arts alliance

BAW Baw Arts Alliance is a not-forprofit collective of artists who not only display their work in The Station Gallery Yarragon and frequently work together, but make it possible for the alliance to support other arts related organisations such as the Warragul Camera Club.

President of the alliance, Anita George, recently presented Pam Rixon of Doncaster, with the Baw Baw Arts Alliance sponsored award.

The award was for winner of the ‘Open Monochrome Prints’ section of the 50th anniversary of the Warragul National Photographic Exhibition held at the West Gippsland Arts Centre.

Coming up in June is an exhibition of Wendy Twyerould’s detailed Australian landscapes hanging in the main gallery space at The Station Gallery, Yarragon.

In her exhibition titled Shades of Green, Wendy takes her artist’s eye to focus on miniscule aspects of land and seascapes from delicate fern fronds to gently floating lillies, from shaggy eucalyptus bark to knife-like icebergs.

All these are executed in richly textured oil paints.

In the section of the gallery called ‘The Wall’ Heather Easdown has her intricately woven macrame hangings.

While many might remember the

Age no barrier

JUST ask 93-year-old Geoff Fullard, who recently completed 1500 sessions with the Traralgon Table Tennis 'Keenager' group.

Geoff is the first person to achieve this feat and given that over 400 players have enjoyed Keenagers over the years, this remarkable achievement has been recognised with a plaque to mark the occasion.

Traralgon Keenagers is a social table tennis program for the over 50s.

It has been running for the past 18 years, and for 15 of those years, Geoff has been either winner or runner-up for the top attendance award.

Geoff loves his table tennis, but highlights social interaction and the non-competitive nature of the games as his motivation, and of course he says, “It’s a great way to maintain an active body and mind.”

Keenagers play every Monday and Thursday morning from 9am to 11.30am as part of the Traralgon Table Tennis Association at the Davidson St Table Tennis Stadium.

Marketeers jazz and more

THE Marketeers Jazz Band from Melbourne will be the Moe Latrobe Valley Jazz Club’s feature band for May, appearing on Sunday, May 28 at the Moe RSL.

The bands speciality is playing jazz from the vibrant music of the 1920s and 30s era.

The line-up includes Chris Ludowyk on trombone, Ian Smith on cornet, Jason Downes on reeds, Tony Orr on banjo, Pip Avent on tuba and Richard Opat on drums.

Doors open at 12.30pm for a 1pm start.

Moartz

AFTER three years of our local theatre scene being decimated, Moartz Inc. (pronounced Mow Arts) is trying to claw it's way back on stage this year.

We have secured a great play and director and have an information night coming up soon.

Moartz Inc. is excited to be back on stage this year and ready to reconsolidate their brand of delivering high standard comedies to big crowds and critical acclaim.

The production this year will be of the dramatic comedy Mr. Bailey’s Minder written by Australian playwright Debra Oswald and directed by Sue Lindsay.

The play synopsis is: Mr. Bailey’s Minder, is a funny and deeply moving play about family, friendship, forgiveness, ego, art and the secret longing for a better life.

Leo Bailey is Australia’s greatest living artist, burned out by booze he has sunk into alcoholic dementia and is incapable of looking after himself.

His detached daughter Margo has been through a string of live-in-minders for him, until she comes across Therese, fresh out of prison and desperate for a job and a place to call home.

Then comes along Karl, a kind-spirited handyman.

Let’s see how these four damaged souls struggle to accept their own and each other’s demons with hope and often humour, but can they all sustain the journey?

Auditions are being held this Saturday (May 27) and Monday (May 29).

Show dates are from September 1 to 11.

For more information please phone director, Sue Lindsay on 0409 191 148 or email slindsay@netspace.net.au Every year, Moartz dedicates one of our shows to a community charity.

As this play deals with the theme

of dementia, we are looking forward to highlighting and supporting a local cause around this.

Production manager, Laura Davies can be reached on 0409 491 905 or email justlauradavies@gmail.com

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK

When the days and nights become chillier, having to fire up our heaters to be warm again means that there is potential for higher electricity/gas bills. Having your heater regularly serviced will keep it running to its best potential and help keep energy bills down.

ASPHALTING

When the warm weather hits with a vengeance, our best friend becomes the air conditioner.

If you make sure you clean air conditioners every six months, or earlier if recommended, you won't have the problem of clogged, dirty filters blocking normal airflow and stopping you from obtaining its full potential.

Netballers brave conditions

NETBALL

By ZOE ASKEW

WHILE Gippsland League netballers had the day off, there was no rest for North Gippsland or East Gippsland Football-Netball Leagues at the weekend, with teams braving the wintery conditions across the region.

Glengarry Football-Netball Club celebrated 120 years in Round 7 of the NGFNL, with the Magpies donning new dresses in their match against travelling opponents Gormandale.

Glengarry started strong, taking an early lead over the Tigers.

The Magpies showcased pace and fluidity in their movement up and down the court, with Glengarry’s goal attack Tiffany Boatman a clear standout from the first centre pass.

From the first til the final quarter, Boatman exercised an indefatigable work rate with the Magpies’ goal attack making countless intercepts, unwavering in applying pressure across the court

and boasting precision accuracy in the shooting ring.

For a brief moment, Gormandale actually looked the better team, with the Tigers setting into a sleek rhythm, scoring a handful of consecutive goals.

The Magpies quickly shifted back into gear, putting an end to Gormandales brief control of the match.

A strong Glengarry outfit was no match for Gormandale, the Mapies squandering the Tigers shot at their second win of the season in a 61 to 33 defeat.

Glengarry’s Karlee Dal Pra was voted best on court.

SALE City hit the road at the weekend, taking on hosts Rosedale.

With little separating the two sides ahead of Round 7, the Bulldogs with just one loss and the Blues with two, a close match was to be expected.

Just seven points separated the two competitive NGFNL outfits at the end of the fourth quarter, with the home side holding the upper hand.

Rosedale defeated Sale City 49 to 42.

LADDER leaders Woodside asserted their dominance over hosts Yarram, with a 54 to 25 victory continuing the Wildcats’ undefeated streak at the end of Round 7.

Woodside’s Georgie Banik was best on court.

HEYFIELD hosted Cowwarr at Sale FootballNetball Club, with teams playing for the Hollonds-Komen Cup at the weekend.

The Kangaroos’ 54 to 43 win over the Saints cemented Heyfield’s claiming of the HollondsKomen Cup, with all bar one team defeating Cowwarr in Round 7. Churchill defeated TTU 45 to 32. Yallourn Yallourn North had the bye.

IN Mid Gippsland, Morwell East and Fish Creek had big wins in Round 5.

The Hawks defeated Newborough 74-39 and Fish Creek beat Foster 48-14.

Toora conquered Stony Creek 51-20, Yinnar defeated Tarwin 59-42, and Mirboo North was too good for MDU, winning 52-43.

Hill End and Boolarra had the bye.

Rising stars

Rising star: Jayde Parson from Heyfield Football-Netball Club.

Photograph supplied FOOTBALL/NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

NORTH Gippsland Football-Netball League has named Jayde Parsons and Brysen Nottle as its April Rising Stars.

Parsons, from Heyfield, and Nottle, from Sale City were acknowledged for their performances in the early stages of the NGFNL season.

Parsons can be spotted most nights up at the grounds training and putting the hard work in. She also heads down to Melbourne every Sunday to train with the Samoan netball team.

She is always willing to help out where she can, from scoring multiple games or helping out in the canteen.

Parsons uses her knowledge to assist her teammates and always takes on feedback to continue improving her game. Parsons is sharing her knowledge with the juniors of Heyfield by putting her hand up to assist in coaching the Heyfield Under 12 netball team.

Parsons was nominated for her dedication and hard work when it comes to her netball and her passion for continuing to improve her game and pass that knowledge on to our younger generation The North Gippsland Rising Star Award was inaugurated this year, as an opportunity for young athletes to receive recognition for their outstanding achievements within the NGFNL competition.

This monthly award serves as a platform for emerging players to display their exceptional skills and abilities, granting them the acknowledgment they truly deserve for their unwavering commitment and perseverance in their club and league.

By honouring the Rising Stars of North Gippy, the rising star award not only encourages and inspires young athletes but also highlights the essential role that clubs play in nurturing and developing emerging talent.

There will be five monthly winners for both netball and football rising stars.

The annual winner will be announced at the 2023 AGL Loy Yang NGFNL Grand Final Dinner.

FOOTBALL/NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND

BY ZOE ASKEW

GLENGARRY Football Netball-Club commemorated its 120th anniversary at the weekend.

The Round 7 fixture of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League also marked one of the NGFNLs most quintessential traditions, the Keith Lang-Bill Onley Cup. Since 2010, in place of a sponsored annual trophy of 25 years, the Magpies and Gormandale FNC have played for the Keith Lang-Bill Onley Cup on their first meeting each year, celebrating one of the league’s oldest rivalries and honouring local footballers Keith Lang and Bill Onley.

Keith Lang was a dedicated member of Glengarry FNC, winning two premierships with the Magpies in 1929 and 1930 and was named league best-andfairest in 1935.

Lang spent 45 years on the Glengarry committee, assuming the role of president and serving more than four decades as timekeeper.

Onley was a dedicated member of Gormanadale FNC, winning two premierships with the Tigers in 1946 and 1954 and was named league bestand-fairest in 1949.

After retiring from football, Onley provided many years of service to the Tigers as a trainer, boot studder, club office bearer and fundraiser.

Lang and Onley are life members of their clubs, and many members of their families have followed in their footsteps representing the clubs on the football field and netball court throughout the years.

Glengarry senior footballers and A Grade netballers were a different looking outfit at the weekend, with the women sporting new dresses and the men donning heritage guernseys in commemoration of the club’s 120th anniversary.

Being one of the club’s most significant games of the season and marking 120 years of Glengarry FNC, the pressure was on for the Magpies to claim their first win of 2023.

Imagine making your senior football debut in that game.

Oh wait, Glengarry’s 18-year-old Jet Hodges did, with the youngster proving pressure is no problem, his first kick in senior football was a goal.

The Magpies defeated the Tigers 14.8 (92) to 8.5 (53); captain Alex Bermingham accepted the Keith Lang-Bill Onley Cup on behalf of his team and was also awarded Glengarry’s best-on-ground.

Glengarry’s win at the weekend has kept the Magpies from the bottom of the ladder, putting Gormandale on track to claim the NGFNL wooden spoon.

While a flag for the Magpies is out of the question this year, the 120-year-old club has claimed 11 NGFNL premierships in 1959, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1994, 1996 and 2013.

With 11 premierships and 120 years of history, there are dozens of legends within the local footballnetball club; among the most well-known Glengarry FNC legends has to be footballer Michael Peel.

Peel singlehandedly squandered Churchill’s chances at a premiership hat-trick in 1996 when he kicked two goals in the final minute of the senior grand final, securing Glengarry’s 10th NGFNL flag before a near-record crowd.

Four netball reunions were hosted at Glengarry FNC at the weekend to celebrate the club’s longstanding history.

Junior players were also showcased, with Glengarry facilitating young players to warm up with the senior team and organising a game of AusKick at halftime.

A large crowd braved the wintery weather to join Glengarry in celebrating 120 years, and what better birthday present to ask for than the Magpies’ first win of the 2023 season.

New grants ramp up support for clubs THE state government is helping more than 260 grassroots sport and recreation clubs address barriers to sporting participation, creating more inclusive ways to access sport across Victoria.

As part of National Volunteer Week celebrations, Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence this week announced the latest successful recipients of the Sporting Club Grants Program - which are sharing in more than $520,000.

The projects supported in this round have a strong focus on boosting club capacity and promoting the valuable work of volunteers in helping clubs get back in the game this year.

“National Volunteer Week reminds us that clubs and their volunteers are the backbone of Victorian communities,” Ms Spence said.

“That’s why we’re backing more clubs with help to boost memberships, support volunteers and get behind grassroots sports that are an integral part of local communities.”

Grant recipients include, North Bendigo Junior Football Club, which is receiving $1000 for new uniforms to establish more mixed junior

teams and Bendigo’s North Central Strikers Netball Club, which is scoring $5000 to develop a strategic plan to encourage women and girls to participate at the club as players, volunteers, administrators and coaches.

Not long now until Harriers mara ATHLETICS HARRIERS

BY GARY FOX

LAST week’s (Thursday, May 18) Harriers Thursday night run was five kilometres starting at the clubrooms on Douglas Parade and taking

Parkrun takes to the rail trail

in Stockdale Road, Cross’s Rd and Grubb Avenue in Traralgon.

We had a great turnout with a total of 73 runners in excellent running conditions.

Great running by Miles Verschuur saw him first home in an impressive time of 18.52, closely followed by Ian Cornthwaite (19.19) and Marlon Mifsud (19.34).

Excellent running by Molly Irvine saw her as the first lady home in 24.10, followed Liz Kenney (24.28) and Desley Tulloch (26.17).

The run in cool conditions was followed by a social night including hot soup dinner in the club rooms. Club president Phill Mayer presented a cheque for $2500 to Tanya Whitehead of Rotary Centenary House. The money was raised by the 25th running of the Harriers Community Fun Run held on Sunday, March 26 at Kernot Hall, Morwell.

Over the life of the event it has raised $31,000 for Centenary House.

Phil also welcomed new club member Rayne Wills. The club is enjoying record attendance at our weekly runs with club membership also at a record 150.

The 56th Traralgon Marathon & Running Festival is only two weeks away (Sunday, June 4). It starts and finishes at De Grandi’s Winery (formally Traralgon Winery) with the course along the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail. Entries are still open. See the Harriers website traralgonharriers. au for more.  FULL RESULTS FOR THURSDAY, MAY 18 RUN.

THE 144th Parkrun event was held in Mirboo North recently.

A crisp morning with only a small niggle of rain didn’t stop 29 participants from enjoying the rail trail. Before and after the event participants and friendly volunteers stopped to catch up and meet the visitors to the town.

Many dropped into Lamezleighs for coffee to warm up afterwards.

Grand Ridge is a welcoming space and it was lovely to greet six new faces to the area.

Glenn McCarthy endured a rainy drive from the Pakenham area to be the tail walker and last minute photographer.

Cindy Robins was a well accomplished Parkrun tourist, and shared her stories about visiting every Parkrun in Victoria so far.

Among the Parkrun regulars, the Fibonacci Sequence is a popular way to see many different events. The ‘Fibonacci chasers’ seek out event numbers to fit the sequence, so the 144th event attracted a few golden number chasers. As always, a big thanks to our volunteers, Robert Gray, Julia Groves, Glenn McCarthy, Pam Pincini, Carmel Quirk, Steve Quirk, Daniel Smith, Glenn Wearne.

Ships busy preparing for cricket future CRICKET

By LIAM DURKIN

WHO would want to be the Trafalgar Cricket Club secretary at the moment.

The Ships have had a busy few weeks preparing for their immediate and long-term future.

In what was possibly the worst kept secret in local sport, Trafalgar officially gave notice last week that it would vote at the end of the month to join the Warragul District Cricket Association.

The special resolution is: (that) “The Trafalgar Cricket Club affiliate with the Warragul District Cricket Association for season 2023/24 and beyond”.

“After a lengthy review by a sub committee appointed by the Trafalgar Cricket Club (TCC) committee, the recommendation was unanimously approved by the TCC committee members in attendance at the Monday, May 8, 2023 committee meeting to seek affiliation with the Warragul District Cricket Association (WDCA),” the meeting notice stated.

“It is the view of the TCC committee that a move to the WDCA would deliver a number of benefits, including A Grade matches at Trafalgar Recreation Reserve, reduced travel for senior grade players, changed playing conditions that shorten match days including capped two day overs, increase in potential benefits to sourcing a second oval in Trafalgar, and participation in the club’s home shire.”

Trafalgar has competed in the Latrobe Valley District Cricket League since the league was formed in 2018. This came about after five clubs from the

Traralgon District Cricket Association joined to create the expanded competition, branching off from the old Central Gippsland Cricket Association.

However, with the LVDCL mandating for the vast majority of A Grade games to be played on turf wickets, and with Trafalgar Recreation Reserve only having a synthetic, it has meant the Ships have been financially burdened with travelling away to play matches for the best part of five years.

Trafalgar will need a three quarters majority of eligible members voting in favour of affiliating with the WDCA in order for the move to go ahead.

The WDCA would then need to formally accept Trafalgar at its AGM in June.

Just where Trafalgar fits into WDCA grading would also need to be determined. Last season, the Ships fielded senior teams in A Grade, B Grade and C Grade, and juniors in Under 16s, 14s and 12s.

Talk of Trafalgar moving back to the WDCA has been doing the rounds for years, although this is the first time discussions have come to a formal vote.

Trafalgar originally competed in the WDCA from 1932/33 until 1990/91, and again from 2001/02 to 2009/10, switching to Central Gippsland twice.

Trafalgar is attending a WDCA gathering tonight (May 24) for the association’s information meeting with clubs.

If the Ships were to leave the LVDCL, it would take the competition to 11 A Grade teams.

The loss of Trafalgar might not matter in terms of creating an even draw, as The Express understands a current Traralgon District Cricket Association club is exploring the option of affiliating with the LVDCL next season.

RUNNING concurrent with this, is Trafalgar’s continued advocacy for a second cricket/football oval in Trafalgar.

The Trafalgar Cricket Club presented to Baw Baw Shire Council last Wednesday (May 17) at its hearing of budget submissions.

The Trafalgar second oval is listed in the BBSC draft long term infrastructure plan with a $3 million price tag, but proponents from further West are fighting for the allocation to be spent on a similar project to see a third ground constructed in Drouin.

With the Ships potentially moving back the WDCA, it is perhaps ironic they could be locked in another battle with Drouin, their fiercest rival.

Land where the second Trafalgar oval will be built is owned by BBSC, which was made possible by the generosity of the Turra family, who sold their family farm in the mid-2000s.

A pavilion named in their honour was opened last year, on the site where the second oval will be built.

It is understood Trafalgar cricketers, at the end of the last two seasons, have gathered informally in the dark of night at the Turra Pavilion to ‘toast’ the future oval.

Given Trafalgar is the third biggest town in Baw Baw, it would appear vital there is appropriate infrastructure to support the growing population, which will only increase once more people move into The Range subdivision.

TCC might not just stop at two ovals, with plans to work with Trafalgar High School to resurrect the high school ground also in the works.

That secretary will sleep well when all this is finished.

slog in g up for Somerset Baseballers tough conditions

MORWELL export p Peter Siddle has reccently started his County Cricket season over in Englan nd, playing for Somerset in the LV= Insurance County C Championship.

In the midst of his Country Cricket season, s he has also confirmed a deal with Cricket Victooria, signing a two-year contract with his home state.

After months of specu ulation and rumours, Siddle mad de it official at the start of the moonth.

Siddle joined th he Tasmanian state side forr the 2020/21 season, sig ning a twoyear deal, and has now confirmed his decision to return too Victoria, who he spentt 15 years with previoussly.

Crick ket Victoria’s head off male cricket, David Hussey, welcom med the news.

“To have a player of Peeter Siddle’s bre and expecalib riencce returning to sup pport a young bowling group fast-b is ex xciting,” he said.

“Hee’ll be a great menttor for all of them m.”

Meeanwhile, back k overseas, merset has Som had d an odd start to the season,

playing five games for one loss and four draws.

But individually, Siddle has been consistent with both the bat and ball - for the most part.

Of Somerset’s five fixtures, Siddle featured within the first four.

He has collected wickets in each innings he bowled in, while batting decently for a number 10 or 11, despite one golden duck.

In Round 1 against Warwickshire, Siddle padded up at number 11 and scored 10 from nine deliveries, and with the ball, collected figures of 2/47 to get his season started in a draw.

Against Nottinghamshire is where Siddle and Somerset had their first result of the season, yet it was an unfortunate loss.

Siddle claimed 2/37 and 3/34 with the ball and scored 15 not out and 12 in either inning for Somerset.

His most recent two games against Lancashire and Northamptonshire ended in draws too.

Against Lancashire, Siddle scored another 17 runs in the tail and claimed 3/97 with ball in hand.

While against Northamptonshire, Siddle was okay with the ball from his standards with figures of 2/42 and 1/50, but scored a golden duck at the end of Somerset’s first innings.

It hasn’t been the worst start for him individually, but as a team, Somerset sit eighth on the ladder out of 10 teams in the Division 1 competition.

It sure as hell could be worse, averaging 13.5 runs with the bat as a number 10 or 11, and also collecting 13 wickets from six innings.

It is only just the start of a gruelling County Cricket season that is set to continue up until September of this year.

But once the season is complete, things will be back to normal, as Siddle will be ready to don the Victorian uniform once again.

BASEBALL LVBA

ROUND 6 of the Latrobe Valley Baseball Association saw Moe/Newborough Dodgers play Churchill Braves on a cold, windy day in Churchill.

In A Grade, Churchill struggled, going down to Moe/Newborough 18-3 loss.

Luke Halket scored a home run for Moe/ Newborough as well as leading off on the hill, allowing only four hits and two runs over the five innings stint with three strikeouts.

Churchill managed six hits in the game with Sam Gillet and Rhys Mckenzie both racking up two hits each for the Braves.

Moe/Newborough totalled 19 hits in the high-scoring game.

In the other game, Traralgon won a tight match against Sale 4-2.

B GRADE saw a tough day for Churchill, going down 11-1 to Moe/Newborough.

Jacob Dickinson had Churchill off to a good start when he hit a home run in the first innings.

Mitch McGrath started on the mound for Moe/Newborough, lasting six innings and allowing four hits and one run with a massive 13 strikeouts and walking just one player.

Sam Gillett pitched for the Braves for nine innings, allowing 12 hits and 11 runs with a single strikeout.

Traralgon defeated Morwell 14-3.

C GRADE saw the match between Churchill Moe/Newborough end in a washout, while Traralgon defeated Morwell 13-6.

Locals on display in Traralgon fight night this weekend BOXING

By TOM HAYES

IT’S fight week, as 44 Magnum Promotions brings us a stacked card of boxing and kick-boxing action this Saturday, May 27.

At the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium (GRISS) in Traralgon, 44 Magnum Promotions is building from its first fight night, bringing a bigger and better event this time around.

This time around there is five professional fights on the night, increasing from the singular pro fight in November last year.

There will plenty of action throughout the night, with around 20 fights scheduled to go ahead.

“We’ve got fighters coming from all over the country, as well as a lot of local talent on the amateur scene,” 44 Gym’s Steven Baldachino said.

“There’s five pro fights, and I think nine amateur boxing fights and five to six amateur kickboxing fights.”

The atmosphere is set to be electric, with much more capacity available for a bigger crowd at the GRISS’ showcourt, compared to one of the smaller courts from last year’s event.

“We’re running a much bigger scale on this one, our last show we just used one of the smaller courts … now we’re using the main showcourt, so we can fit a much larger capacity now,” Baldachino said.

Big things are expected for the main event fights, while locals are hoped to display their talents on the big stage too.

There are five local fighters, representing the 44 Gym; Billy Whitmore, John Murray, Angela Witcher, Peter Pirona and Gabriel Winkel.

Winkel is looking forward to his rematch with Sale’s Cooper Martin.

Preparations have run smoothly for Winkel as he hopes to get another win under his belt.

“Tuning up the last little fight touches, and then we’re on … sticking to the formula,” he said.

“I’m not worried about my opponent this time around, I’m just gonna do me, box the way I box, fight the way I fight.”

Winkel expects entertainment from not only himself, but the entire 44 Gym crew that will be on display this weekend.

“Fireworks, all night,” he simply put.

Baldachino is especially excited to see what fighters from his gym are capable of, putting his training skills to the ultimate test.

“We got a lot of good talent coming through, all our local guys, all the guys from my gym especially - I’m very excited to watch,” he said.

“I’m expecting my fighters to put on absolute spectacular performances, we’ve all be training super hard for the last eight weeks, they’ve had a lot of notice for this night, and their looking to

Represent: 44 Gym’s crew for fight night Billy Whitmore, John Murray, Angela Witcher, Peter Pirona and Gabriel Winkel.

Photograph Tom Hayes cement their name on the amateur circuit.”

Baldachino and 44 Magnum Promotions have been busy over the last few months to get this event up and running, as planning and matchmaking has been prepared behind the scenes.

Fight Night #2 starts Saturday, May 27, with fights starting as early as 5pm, wrapping up around 9pm.

Tickets for the fight night are still available from tinyurl.com/a4jkjekh

Strong start for Gippsland United teams

BASKETBALL GIPPSLAND UNITED

BY TOM HAYES

WE are now over halfway through the Big V Basketball season, and both Men’s and Women’s Gippsland United sides are tracking well so far.

AFTER winning promotion to Division 1 last season, the Gippsland United Men’s side have fared well so far in the next tier of competition.

They began the season on a seesaw, with a variety of up-and-down results, before putting the foot down and establishing themselves as threats within the competition.

Life in Division 1 was off to a good start with a Round 1 win over Warrandyte, 71-63, but they swiftly met their match in Round 2 in an 81-72 defeat to Warrnambool.

They unleashed on Collingwood in an outstanding 118-79 win, but were once again brought back down to earth the following round, losing to Shepparton 75-68.

While sitting 2-2, the Gippsland United Men then went on a four-game win-streak, defeating Coburg 81-66, Southern Peninsula 105-88, Pakenham

99-97 and Bulleen 87-80, improving their record to 6-2.

But in their second Round 8 game, a day after the Bulleen game, United were lost to league leaders, the RMIT Redbacks, falling by 10 points, 76-66.

In their latest match against Chelsea, the boys got the win by 14 points, 116-102, boasting a 7-3 record.

Ben Barlow leads the side for points per game, averaging 17 points from eight games, while Oliver Amajoyi is a close second, averaging 15.1 points per game from his 10 outings.

Amajoyi does lead United in rebounds however, averaging 8.9 boards per game - eighth best in the league, while Jordon Canovan averages 7.7 a game and Stephen O’Brien sits third with 7.0 a game.

Canovan and Billy Hughes both average 3.3 assists per game, leading the way for Gippsland United, sitting just outside the top 10 in the Big V Division 1.

After 10 games, the men’s side sits in fifth place within a strong competition, despite the healthy 7-3 record.

WHILE still in Division 2, the Gippsland United Women’s are well on their way to promotion too, after starting the season impeccably.

Page 44 — The Latrobe Valley Express, Wednesday, 24 May, 2023

They have gone 10-0 from their first 10 games, establishing a healthy three-game lead on secondplaced Wallan, at the time of writing.

Despite a few close games, the women’s side have completely and utterly destroyed their competition, and look unstoppable as the season progresses.

Round 1 started with a 26-point win over Blackburn, which was followed up by a monster 109-point win over Mornington.

Shanare Notman led the scoring from the bench for Gippsland United against Mornington with 36 points, also collecting seven rebounds and eight assists.

Macey McGlead also impressed with 35 points, while Alahna Arnason amassed a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, also from the bench.

In Round 3 the girls smashed Collingwood by 44 points, before a 36-point win over Surf Coast.

Coburg was their closest challenge when Round 5 arrived, but they got the job done by five points, coming back from a point down in the final term.

They then beat Collingwood for a second time, this time by 59 points, before a 98-84 win over Blackburn in Round 7.

In their closest battle this season, Gippsland United Women narrowly defeated Wallan by three points, 82-79, surviving a late scare, before moving to 9-0 after a nine-point win over the RMIT Redbacks.

Finally they hit the 10-0 record with a 13-point win over Surf Coast, extending their chances of promotion next season.

An enticing battle is upcoming once again, when they face Wallan in a first-versus-second blockbuster this weekend.

MaKenzie Miller is averaging 16.2 points per game, ahead of McGlead who is scoring 14 per game from her four matches.

Chloe Hogg leads the way from a rebound perspective, averaging 10.67 boards per game, the fourth-best in the league.

Lauren Tuplin averages the third-most amount of assists per game in the league, leading the way for Gippsland United with 4.6 per game.

It’s fair to say both sides are succeeding so far this season, as they both aspire to reach the deep ends of the competition.

SOCCER LVSL

BY LAURIE WILLIAMS

AFTER a number of weeks where surprise results were as rare as hen’s teeth, Round 9 bucked the trend with Monash upsetting the high-flying Moe United, while Morwell Pegasus came from two goals down to extract a point against Sale.

Churchill remain pointless after losing to Newborough/Yallourn and Traralgon Olympians registered their first win of the season against Tyers Lightning.  MOE UNITED V MONASH WOLVES (FINAL SCORE 0-2)

WEEK-ON-WEEK this article has commented on Monash and how their performances have not translated into points, but that all changed on Sunday as their improvement on the park came to the fore by upsetting Moe on their home turf.

Derby fixtures always bring about renewed vigour from the outsider, and with Moe missing star striker Connor O’Hanlon, Moe were a shadow of their recent form.

Wolves striker Marcus Krznaric would be the grim reaper on the day as he scored a brace in the first half to give his side a shock 2-0 halftime lead.

Try as they might, the Red Devils tried to get back into the game but Monash goalkeeper Logan Troughton would be the hero as time and time again he repelled the home sides overtures.

Monash will be buoyed by the result and they will hope that such a performance can be replicated for the rest of the season.

Moe on the other hand will be wondering where it all went wrong and must find ways to win when their talisman is unavailable.  SALE UNITED V MORWELL PEGASUS (2-2)

Match goes ahead without spectators SOCCER LVSL

BY LIAM DURKIN

JUST when you thought we’d heard the last of living with restrictions.

The Latrobe Valley Soccer League made a stance against unruly behaviour last week, declaring that the match between Morwell Pegasus and Sale United was to be played behind closed doors.

Only players, coaches, medical staff and club marshals were permitted entry into Baldwin Reserve, Sale for the Round 9 clash on Sunday.

For players under the age of 18, one parent was permitted but had to remain in their vehicle for the duration of the game.

It is understood the drastic move came after chaotic scenes the previous week, in which referees were the target of significant abuse.

Despite the situation looming as an ‘impossible’ to police’ affair, by all reports the lockout match went ahead without any significant issues. The only major talking point was some people watching the match from afar, as they were technically not ‘inside’ the venue.

Unfortunately for Sale United, the situation meant they instantly lost revenue on gate, canteen and bar sales.

The timing could not have been worse for the Swans, who were also preparing a tribunal case involving women’s captain Zoe Askew.

In what has been labelled an extraordinary move by the LVSL, the league slapped Askew with a five-game suspension, $600 fine, and docked the league-leader’s three premiership points.

The punishment was handed down after Askew, also a journalist with the Express, writing for the newspaper, published an observation from a match she was reporting on regarding the conduct of an official.

The penalty has been seen as severe in the eyes of some, especially given the story in question was written while Askew was working as a journalist and not as a Sale United player.

Askew received widespread support in the days following the news breaking.

Ananalogywasmadethatonecouldonlyimagine the uproar if Collingwood/Hawthorn lost premiership points every time Eddie McGuire or Jeff Kennett said something controversial.

Askew’s work in helping promote local soccer in a positive light, particularly the women’s game, has surely been appreciated by the readership of not just the Express, but Sale-based Gippsland Times.

Askew fronted the tribunal on Monday night, the outcome of which was not known at the time of press.

AFTER a taxing two-all draw last weekend against Morwell rival Falcons 2000, Pegasus were banking on a comfortable days work down the Princes Highway against the ever-improving Sale United.

Unfortunately, the Morwell side’s assumptions were proved incorrect as they were met by a ferocious United side who found themselves two goals up just after halftime.

As is often accustomed with the Flying Horsemen, they have the ability to ramp up their efforts within a matter of moments, and they instantly came to life to score two quick goals.  TRARALGON OLYMPIANS V TYERS LIGHTNING (2-1)

THERE was joy for the home supporters at Davidson Street, Traralgon on Sunday as Olympians finally broke through for their first win, and points for that matter, of the campaign.

Andre Antonopoulos opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 25th minute after Dylan Dunstall was brought down in the area.

Flynn Mangion equalised for Tyers two minutes later, before Blues ‘keeper Roy Matthews made a string of important saves to keep scores level as the visitors finished the first half on top.

Midway through the second half, Blues coach David Sykes made a tactical reshuffle, moving full back Oliver Saliba up front and it had the desired effect, with Saliba scoring the winner 16 minutes from full-time.

After a hard slog in coming back to the senior and reserve men’s ranks, the win will give coach David Sykes and his troops renewed optimism that they can build on the result for the remainder of the season.

The win saw the home side move off the bottom of the ladder.  NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN V CHURCHILL RAMS (5-0)

NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN were in cruise control at home against Churchill, registering a 5-0 victory that puts pressure on those above them.

While the result was comforting, they will find

out where they’re at when they face rival Moe United in a fortnight’s time.

For Churchill, they continue to fight at all levels but they must wait a week longer to attempt to register their first points of the campaign.

ROUND 10 PREVIEW  MORWELL PEGASUS V FORTUNA 60 (SUNDAY 3PM)

MATCH of the round is a tasty one as Fortuna travel to cross town rivals Pegasus.

Local soccer fans will remember the last time the teams clashed there was an all out scuffle which resulted in Pegasus being sanctioned with the loss of three points this campaign. Both sets of players will be warned to be on their best behaviour in what is expected to be a thrilling game.  FALCONS 2000 V SALE UNITED (SATURDAY 6PM)

FRESH off the bye, Falcons will look to continue putting pressure on those clubs around them with a win against the high-flying Sale United after their brilliant performance last weekend.

The home side will start the game as favourites, but rest assured Sale will not be travelling just for the sake of it.  MONASH WOLVES V TRARALGON OLYMPIANS (SUNDAY 3PM)

MONASH will be expected to win comfortably after their outstanding win against Moe last weekend, however Olympians are also coming off a win and will hope to make it two in quick succession.  MOE UNITED V CHURCHILL RAMS (SUNDAY 3PM)

MOE couldn’t have asked for a better fixture to rebound after last weeks disappointing result as they face bottom side Churchill at home.

Churchill will be looking to fight tooth and nail to make it hard for their opposition to take all three points.

Gippy United battle with Bentleigh

SOCCER LVSL

BY NERELLE FOSTER

GIPPSLAND United hit the ground at Kingston Heath with renewed enthusiasm against the home team, an assertive Bentleigh Greens.

Despite an ultimate 3-1 loss, the Under 14 boys kept their heads and their intensity up throughout a tough match.

The game was quick from the start with both sides making early attempts on goal.

Bentleigh scored within five minutes, however Gippsland rallied, making strong runs on the wing and retaining possession of the ball. Unable to convert multiple chances, the score soon became 2-0.

With five minutes to go before half-time Maurice Baldachino forced a penalty shot, managing to score a superb goal from the rebound.

Despite a close contest in the second half with both teams playing strongly, a good run from Bentleigh resulted in their third goal.

Declan Ryan was the standout of the match, regularly opening the play and creating chances for the forward line.

Ruairi Couper, Declan Paku, Mitch Dastey and Ethan Bruce continued to showcase their defensive expertise throughout the match, skilfully backed up by Patrick Frayne and his usual calm under pressure.

Harrison Ritchie from the under 13 team replaced an injured Christian Guarascio in goals, performing well in his first game against a strong offensive team.

Regardless of the final score, there were several moments of brilliance from each player, showing Gippsland are poised to return stronger than ever.

Gippsland has a bye this week, and will be back on June 4 against Kingston City FC. Gippsland United scores, Sunday, May 21.

Pride Cup match launched

NORTH GIPPSLAND

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

LAST Friday, at 12 pm, the North Gippsland Football-Netball League gathered at TRFM in Traralgon to celebrate the launch of the 2023 AGL Pride Cup match this Saturday (May 27).

Sale City and Heyfield football and netball clubs will compete in the annual AGL Pride Cup, reinforcing the saying to ‘play for pride’.

All games will be held at Sale City, who remain dedicated to promoting and celebrating diversity and inclusion in grassroots community sports.

“We all own the games of football and netball; it’s not an exclusive club,” NGFNL president David Kyle said.

The AGL Pride Cup, established in 2016, has now become an annual event on the NGNFL calendar.

“Whilst the AGL Pride Cup journey started eight years ago, it’s empowering to witness the recent years that all major sporting organisations such as the AFL, Cricket Australia, Tennis Australia, swimming, soccer and many other sporting codes have implemented policy around inclusion and diversity,” Kyle added.

Kyle said that perhaps the league was ahead of the game in starting the pride event.

AGL Loy Yang general manager, Christo van Niekerk said he was honoured to attend the event.

“We’ve been involved with this for the last eight years; it’s really reflective of the culture that we would want in our business as we also celebrate diversity and inclusion in an organisation that’s

close to our hearts,” he said.

The Pride Cup will be awarded to the club that wins the most games on the day.

Nick Dinsdale from the Heyfield Football-Netball Club said: “It’s great to be involved in this initiative, the Pride Cup … everyone has a right to feel comfortable. Hopefully, promoting initiatives like this will make people more comfortable joining their local football and netball clubs.”

Though there was no particular reason this round or date was chosen, Saturday, May 27, was chosen for Sale City as the host club.

“It’s really important for Sale City to be inclusive and to be supportive of players, coaches and volunteers, and it’s especially being done with Heyfield; we’re a real close community, we obviously know, work and play with all their players so it’s really special,” Sale City’s Ella Baker-Horan said.

According to Australian research, LGBTQIA+ people have some of the lowest rates of participation in sports, with 80 per cent of people that have either witnessed or experienced homophobia.

“Out of every 1000 people, 150 don’t feel comfortable, and that’s a statistic that we want to change,” Kyle said.

Not much separates Heyfield and Sale City, not distance nor competitiveness. Both clubs are so equally matched that the 2023 Pride Cup could be anyone’s, but on Saturday, it’ll be more than just winning and losing; it’ll be about coming together to raise awareness and support for all of the community.

FOOTBALL AFL EXPORTS

BY TOM HAYES

TWO Gippslanders were in action for the same club, as they entered the first of two Sir Doug Nicholls rounds.

GOLD Coast Suns travelled to the Gabba to face the Brisbane Lions in the 24th Q-Clash.

The Suns got off to a fast start, but were swiftly caught and overran by the Lions.

Despite holding an early lead, the Suns went into quarter time nine points down, but stayed close, entering the second half just a kick away.

An even third term kept the game exciting as a possible upset was on the cards, but the Suns weren’t able to hold onto their hope, as the Lions kicked six goals to one in the final term to run away 43-point winners, 16.11 (107) to 9.10 (64).

Morwell’s Ben Ainsworth was quiet at half forward, with 10 touches and a behind, while Moe’s Bailey Humphrey continued to shine.

Humphrey led the Suns in disposals with 26, along with 1.1 in front of goal, playing in a midfield role.

It capped off a memorable week for Humphrey, who was nominated as the Round 9 Rising Star nominee at the start of last week, thanks to his 20 disposals and a goal in the Suns’ 70-point win over the Eagles.

If he hadn’t earnt it last week, he certainly did this week.

MORWELL’S Changkuoth Jiath missed out on Hawthorn’s 116-point thrashing of the Eagles due to a calf complaint.

The Eagles, last on the ladder, can’t seem to catch a break, but a 116-point loss to a team 16th on the ladder can’t be too encouraging.

TRARALGON’S Tim Membrey also missed out on his side’s win, when St Kilda hung on to down Greater Western Sydney in Western Sydney.

Membrey suffered a concussion last week and entered protocols, meaning he was forced to miss at least one week.
