The prosecution said investigators may do a further search at Wonnangatta and Mount Hotham to continue building their case against Lynn, a former pilot.

Lynn did not apply for bail and will return to court on January 16 next year. He has pleaded not guilty.

LOCAL businesses are being encouraged to register their interest in collaborating with Star of the South. Theoffshorewind project is seeking “opportunitiestogrowlocal capabilities”with businesses that could supply goods and servicesneededfor itsdevelopment.

The defence said they did not have access to evidencethat the policehad gathered against Lynn, including surveillance of his home and vehicle.

“Candidates should be judged on their record of community advocacy and elected on merit. Iwant to restore integrity and trust in government,” she said. “I have been humbled by the number of people who have asked, urged and encouraged me to run in this year’s state election and Iamdetermined to prove their trust and confidence in me is well-placed.”

LATROBE City councillor Tracie Lund will again run as an independentcandidate for the seat of Morwell at this year’sstate election, with ajust transition from coal power to renewable energy a key plank in her election bid. Ms Lund,manager of MorwellNeighbourhood House, received 11 per cent of the vote at the 2014 state election. She moved to the regionin2011with her husband, who worksfor the Country Fire Authority, and her three children. Shehas been acommunity worker since starting with Morwell Neighbourhood House in 2012. Cr Lund has taken leave of absence, effective immediately, from Latrobe City Council. Her vision for the seatofMorwell has seven priorities. These are ajust transition from coal to renewable energy, mine rehabilitation and water allocation, social and public housing, health and community services, health in the context of planning and environmental protection acts, climate action and response, and long-termfunding for the Latrobe Valley Authority. “Immediate action is required to achieve ajust transition from coal-poweredtorenewable energy that is centred on the diversification of industry. Significant investment is needed in employment opportunities that support and highlight the abundance of large and small-scale renewable energy projects and opportunities in our region,” she said. “Power stations are coming to the end of their workinglives. Without amore strategic and integrated approach for the future of the Latrobe Valley,the region could end up with apatchworkof fenced-offlakes.Weneed to explore all the options we have for mine rehabilitation.”

Cr Lund said access to safe, adequate housing support and services had ahugeimpact on health and quality of life. “Everyone deserves to have aplace to call home. This builds confidence, connectedness and pride of place. Covid-19 has exacerbated the pressures on already stretched local health and community service systems,” she said.

Cr Lund said the peopleofthe Latrobe Valley were future-focused and open to change.

Councillor wants Morwell seat

“I am passionate about grassroots democracy andwholeheartedly believethatinvestmentin and support of the community improves health and wellbeing, resilience, and employment opportunities,” she said.

“The needs of local business, communityand our environment have never been so vital as we work through recovery from COVID-19 and towards a strong, sustainable future. Iwant to take steps to bolster our local economy so we can recover from the impacts of climate change, mine closures and the pandemic.”

“Peopleinthe LatrobeValley are faced with poorer health outcomes than their metropolitan counterparts. Investment is vital to level the playing field and givecommunities accesstothe carethey need, when and where they need it. “The Latrobe Health InnovationZone is designed to give voicetocommunity aspirations in the planning and delivery of better health and wellbeing outcomes. To fully realise this vision and harness the power of the LHIZ, it must be embedded into state government planning legislation.”

Cr Lund said the climate crisis was now having an impact on weather patterns, the environment, healthand the local economy. “A just transition starts with supporting impacted and displaced workers, and our broader community, through the uncertainty of coal-closure timelines. We need to enhance and expand the skills and strengths of our local workforcetoaid employment in new industries,” she said.

“With the service now expanding to trams and buses, we hope evenmore commuters have the confidence to call out unwanted sexual behaviour for what it is,” he said. “That’s exactly why we created the service -to make it easy and convenient to notify police about what’s occurring.

VICTORIA Police has announcedthat its SMSbased reporting tool will expand to trams and buses across the state. Launched on trains statewide last month, the tool -known as STOPIT-isdesigned for public transport users to report unwanted sexual behaviour. According to VictoriaPolice, more than200 notifications had already been received through theservice. Women and girls made up more than half of people using STOPIT.

Victoria Police analysis showsalmost 40 per cent of all notifications related to threatening and offensive behaviour such as verbal abuse, harassment and racism. Almost one in four notifications related to unwanted sexualbehaviour, includingcatcalling, sexual gestures, non-consensual touching and flashing.

“Itdoesn’t matter how small or trivial you think it mightbe. Every bit of information helps us piece together alargerpuzzle to keep commuters safe.”

The STOPIT reporting tool is the first of its kind anywhere in Australia Adedicated team of transit police assesses all notifications received, withanumberofthose notifications having been escalated to the Transit Crime Investigation Unit, with detectivesnow investigating. Information received has also allowed police to start examining what is occurring across the rail network, be it aparticular train line or time of day.

TransitSafety Divisionactingsuperintendent AdamTanner saidthat withoutSTOPIT,this information mayhave never come to the attention of police.

The expansion of STOPIT to trams andbuses -including those in regional areas -isexpected to helppolice paintanevenbetter picture of what is occurring across the public transport system.

Employersand staff may stillconsider remote working arrangements that are most appropriate for their workplace and employees basedon individual requirements.

The Department of Health will no longer publish adaily media update from the Chief Health Officer -moving to aweekly updatefromSeptember7 (tomorrow). Daily COVID data will continue to be published on Twitter and on the Department of Health website. Following the winter peak, the Premier has also

POLICEissued30defect notices during aone-day operation lastweek, disrupting illegal hoon-driving activity in the Latrobe Valley as part of the statewide Operation Achilles. On Tuesday, August30, Latrobe Valley Highway Patrol was out in force, using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to detect vehicles associated with hoon activity. Police intercepted75vehiclesand issued 30 defect notices for safety issues, including damagedwindscreens, bald tyres, and cars missing headlights or taillights.

National Cabinet also agreed to removethe mandatory wearing of masks on domestic flights. This change also came into effect on Friday. Furthermore, the state government is encouraging Victorians to safely return to the office. Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas announced on Thursday that work from home recommendations had been lifted. “With spring now here and case numbers and hospitalisations decliningsignificantly, more people may want to get back into the office -and back out to the cafes, shops and bars in busy professional precincts across the state,” she said. “Lifting the work-from-home recommendation is in linewithcurrentpublic health advice-we encourage employers and employees to have a conversation about what’s right for theirindividual needs.”

If the owner fails to repair documented defects and obtain aroadworthycertificate within four weeks, vehicle registration may be suspended. Police also issued28infringementnotices for offences includinginsecure loads, drivingan unregistered vehicle,speeding,failing to use headlights while driving at night, and Environmental Protection Authority notices for excessively noisy vehicles. Operation Achilles comes as Victoria’s road toll reaches 166 for the year, compared with 144 this time lastyear. Eight of Victoria’s road fatalitiesoccurred in the Latrobe Valley Region and fiveinWellington Shire. Operation Achilles is astate-wideinitiative targeting high-riskdriving, whichhas resulted in more than 240 offenders charged for hoon driving and more than155 vehicles impoundedacross Victoria since July last year. In thelast 13 months,VictoriaPolice has issued more than 1400 chargesaspart of Operation Achilles.

NATIONAL Cabinet met in Sydney last Wednesday to discussCOVID-19 settings,and agreed to make changes to isolation rules. Isolation periods forCOVID-19 positive cases will reduce from seven to five days following a positive test, with some exceptions, coming into effect this Friday. This would apply only to people with no symptoms at five days. The seven-day isolation remains for workersinhigh-risk settings including aged care, disability care, and those providing care in the home. Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment eligibility willreflect the changed isolation periods from the same date.

The government said the move was in line with current public health recommendations,which advise that duringthe peak periods of COVID transmission in July and August, people worked from home when practical to do so.

Businesses or organisations with on-site operations (including home-based businesses) need to have aCOVIDSafe Plan that is regularly reviewed to ensure it’s as up to date as possible.

Debbie said the disease has affected her lower-body. “With MND there’s about four different ways you get it. Mine has progressed from my feet and is moving up my body. Ican only just walk alittle bit, Ihave no strength in my legs so Ican’t push myself up. The last coupleofweeks my hands have started to not cooperate,” she says. “I say it’s like I’m atwo-year-old as I’m very clumsy witheverything Ido. My grandson sits next to me and we’re both at the same stage at getting that spoon into our mouths. He’s doing a better job than Iamnow. “Yourfine motor skills justdrop off. Ionlywalk in my house and to the toilet and back, but someone has to be behind me because Ihave no balance. “Somebody is always with me, if it’s not my husband,it’s(my carer)and my kids. They all share it around, so I’m lucky.”

Latrobe Valley fund-raising walk to combat MND disease

“Neale Daniher is our inspiration,” Debbie said. “We boughthis (fundraising) beanies long before Ihad MND. Lots of people buy them now. “There’s about470 peopleinVictoria with MND, and over 2000inAustralia. Everyday it’s 2000, because two people die everyday and two are diagnosed.”

For anumber of years, Debbie felt that there ssomething wrong with her, and her doctor difficulty figuring out what it was. “(MND) is really complicated for aGPtodiagnose because there’s such random stuff that happens your body,” Debbie said. “It’s itching, cramping, muscle loss and all sorts of different things that could have been MS (multiple sclerosis) or fibromyalgia. They usually to those things first, then it’s not until you get to the neurologist thatthey go, yep, yougot MND. “Wefound out on July 15, 2021. The neurologist asked if we had any questions and we said ‘no’, because we didn’t know anything about it.” Debbie’s husband Robin said the real shock came later on. “It wasn’t ashock on the day, until we started Googling it and finding out thisisnot agood thing,” he said. Debbiesaidthey were also relieved, because they finally knew what was going on. Previously, the only knowledge they had about MND was from formerfootballer Neale Daniher’s campaigns to find acure. Mr Daniher was diagnosed with MND in 2014 and is aco-founder of FightMND.

Debbie always has asmile on her face and has tried to avoid letting the disease ruin her high spirits. Her familyand friends deal withitdifferently. “They have their sad moments, but we work each day as it comes,” she said. “If Ican’t do something, we make an adjustment so Ican still fit in with what we’re doing. I’m a pretty happy person so it hasn’t made me too sad, other than the fact that Ican’t do certain things. “Once the MND gets up to your (heart and lungs), you’re not going to do too good. I’m feeling pretty confident at the moment, so Ican looktothe future acouple of months ahead. We’ll see how we go this Christmas.” Robin says he has good and bad days. “ButDebbieismostly cheerful about it so it keeps us all happy,” he said. Debbie and her expanding team of 24 is excited to participate in the Latrobe Valley Walk to D’Feet MND 2022. “We set agoal for $500, but it’s climbing up so we may have to update it,” Robin said. “I’ll be walking with the puppies.” Debbie is insistent on taking part. “I’m going to be drivingmyelectric chair,” Debbie said. “We need more exposure, because people don’t know anything about MND. All my friends are on boardand willingtohelp, but people don’t know about it. We need to get it out there. “I’ve put my name down for alot of studygroups We gotta do our part as we’re never going to find acureifwedon’t all pitch in. “If Ican help, even add abit of time to someone’s life, Ithink it’s an important thing to do. “Pleasesupport and donate, because the funding allows us to access equipment. My electric scooter, toilet aids. If my OT (occupational therapist)feels Ineed something, within two days it gets here. It’s really fast.” Ms Wells described the health professionals dealing with her as “very nurturing”. “They support you the whole time. When Ihave an appointment,I may see four doctors at once, because they know it’s hard on your body, so they line all the doctors one after the other,” Debbie said. “Anything you need, they try to get to you. It’s very supportive.”

“There’s some work that just can’t be done from home and there will be some impact on revenue because people who lease office space can’t inhabit the building,”she said. “We’ve been dealing with it for just two-and-ahalf hours,” she said.

WHEN Federation University decided to stop teaching Gippsland history, there were fears for the huge Gippsland archive that the university had built up. The archive was to be shifted to the FU library -tobeneglected or forgotten? The steady flow of researchers into the library proves otherwise; the library, after all, is directly opposite where the archive used to be housed. Overseeing this varied material, now called the Gippsland and Regional Studies Collection (GRSC), with her colleagues is Debbie Leatham, liaison librarian for library research, learning and liaison services. Backing her up as a volunteer is the legendary expert on Gippsland history, Linda Barraclough.

On one level, the library collection is amuseum, but is not static. “We are adding to the collection all the time,” said Debbie. The Centre for Gippsland Studies was founded in 1985 at the then Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education, when Patrick Morgan, who still lives at Boolarra South, began teaching Gippsland history and literature, eventually publishing several books on the subject. He was followed by Meredith Fletcher, who produced alandmark study of the destruction of Yallourn and also aproject on the celebrated Traralgon gardener Jean Galbraith. Academics such as Michael Tuck also were active. The collection is aresource covering aregion that extends from Mallacoota in the east to Wilson’s Promintory, Wonthaggi, Warragul and Pakenham in the south and west. Federation University is centrally located for this big area, but the tyranny of distance can sometimes be a bugbear. For example, Mallacoota needed some information but the journey was still long. Said Debbie: “Fortunately, Iwas going there for aholiday, so was able to take it with me!” The collection includes any topic relating to Gippsland that you could think of -Aboriginal cultures, European history, literature and culture, land use, the environment and education. Gippsland newspapers are well represented -some on microfiche and others on that have been digitised. The collection also includes many monographs and journal titles from local historical societies. Debbie said there was aunique and valuable collection of photographs, many of which are available from glass negatives. A surprise for her was one photo that popped up out of the collection -her grandfather in his army uniform. One quirky photo that was used in Meredith Fletcher’s Yallourn book is aframedpicture of schoolgirls from the 1940s; appropriately for the time, they are dressed as briquettes! Other odd items pop up in the collection -for example, an overview of East Gippsland timbers with small examples of the timbers stacked in awooden box. Of course, the Latrobe Valley has astrong place in the archive. Debbie said the former State Electricity Commission before it was privatised donated alot of books form its library. Included in this were SEC magazines such as SEC News and an extensive run of its Live Wire publication, and several books on Loy Yang power station by Jack Vines. Maps are of particular interest to some researchers. One early map, although not complete, is of the district around Wonnangatta. As Debbie indicated, the collection is still growing. New books continue to come out on Gippsland or which include sections on the region, and they are snapped up. “Meredith Fletcher produced videos and sound cassettes of oral history. They are in pristine condition and in the filing cabinet, but they must be processed before they start to deteriorate,” she said. “We want to get them digitised and into aformat we can read. They will be available online.” Users of the GRSC vary from visiting academics tolocal historical societies. “Once we even got an email from England seeking some information. Another academic found that we were the only place that has acopy of the submission on the (then) proposed Wirilda Environment Park near Tyers,” said Debbie. Passionate volunteers and well wishers are an important resource for GRSC.“One former FU academic donated a$500scanner to the university,” said Debbie, who is no slouch with technology. Avolunteer with the Yinnar historical society, she has catalogued more than 1000 photos from her local group’s collection. The collection is open on Mondays from 1pm to 4pm or by appointment. Information is available through grsc@federation.edu.au.

Please drive to the conditions and do not drive on closed roads or tracks.” Please be aware of the environment around you at all times and safety of others when in state forests, trees may fall or drop limbs without warning. Planned burns are scheduled throughout the Springseason, which may impactthe availability of firewood in certainareas if the collection area is closed to the public. Plan ahead and visit https:// plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au/ for the latest information on planned burns in your area. For more information on firewood collectionrules, and to find your closest designated firewood collection area, go to https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood call 136 186 or contact your local DELWP office.

AGROUP in the Gippsland Community Leadership Program are working in partnership with ABetter Life for Foster Kids to coordinate a pyjama day event across Gippsland on September 9for Gippsland’s Biggest P.J. Day. Gippsland’sBiggest P.J.Day aims to raise money and awareness for the Gippsland-based charity that supports childrenand carers in the out-of-home-care system. Rebecca Matthews, one of the event organisers, said “We are all passionate about supporting A Better Life for Foster Kids and the work that they do”. “We are hoping to get as many schools involved as possible to make the biggest impact that we can for this amazing local charity.” Fourteen thousand ninehundred and forty-seven children in Victoria are on care and protection orders, equating to 10 in every 1000 Victorian children. Eachyear, ABetter Life For FosterKidsprovides Crisis Cases to around 1600 children entering care to ensure theirneeds are taken care of with dignity and relieve carers’ mental and financial burden. ABetter Life For Foster Kids advocates for better policies for children in care and their carers. They supportkids in care to participate in after-school activities and host an annual camp. Founder of ABetter Life for Foster Kids, Heather Baird, said “We are always happy to be involved with local groups and appreciatethat members of our community think highly of what we do”. “Without the support of groups such as this one we could never do what we do. “We are always running out of P.J.’s as we use both winter and summer pairs in every case. “Not only will this project up our supply of them, but more importantly,itwill raiseawareness,even with the children from the local schools learning thatwhat they take for granted that everykid has such things our kiddies don’t.” The event organisers have invited all Gippsland primary schools to participate. Donations and sponsorshipfor the event are welcomed, and community organisations and leaders can also join in by showing their support throughthe social media campaign or wearing their pyjamas on September 9. More than 3000 children from 30 primary schools across Gippsland are participating in Gippsland’s Biggest P.J.Day to raise money and awareness for children and carers in the out-of-home-care system.

DESIGNATED firewood collection areas in state forests across Gippsland are open,with 78 firewood collection areas open across the region. Forest FireManagement Victoria (FFMVic) Gippsland Deputy chief fire officer Sam Quigley said firewoodcollectionwas dependant on the area, with certain collection areas having larger volumes of firewood than others. “While firewood is free to collect, supplyis not unlimited. This means firewood needs to be managed responsibly to ensure environmental sustainability,” Mr Quigley said. “Ifyour household reliesonfirewoodfor heating or cooking, please begin planning ahead of time for the upcoming year andexplore all available energy options open to you.” Firewood can only be collected until November 30. “Designatedfirewood collectionareas are selected for arange of reasonsincluding the availability of firewood, community safety, and to protect sites of cultural and environmental significance,” Mr Quigley said. “Residents are only allowed to collect two cubic metres per person per day and atotal of 16 cubic metres of firewood per household perfinancial year.”

Ms Simson said even before the pandemic, farmers were reducing plantings or shifting to less labour-intensive produce.

The peak farming lobby group identified fourcore barriers to securing skilled and unskilled labour, and offered practical and achievable solutions.

The NFF described the issue as one of the root issues “stunting Australia’s farm sector”.

“Recent weather has thrown curveballs at food production,” Ms Simson said. “Couple that with issues like the workforce crisis, and the result hasbeen gapsonsupermarket shelves, families struggling with the price of food and weakening food security. “Thisgoes to the heart of the cost of living in Australia. Governments can’t control the weather, but they can ease the workforce crisis.”

NFF president Fiona Simson said farmers had struggled to fill skilled and unskilled jobs for years -anissue intensified by COVID-19.

The NFF has pointed outchallengesthat include the complexity of the industrial relations framework as well as failings in the migration system. It also cited alackofsupport for agricultural skills developmentand community perceptions about the nature of farm work.

The NFF put forward 40 recommendations including plans to boost training opportunities, stamp out exploitation, speed up Visa processing, and simplify the industrial relations system.

Kids run free at ag shows

VICTORIAN Agriculturaland Pastoral Societies are now able to access funding to let kids in for free at localshows and field days in an aid to help show societies recover from COVID impacts.

Victorian AgricultureShows executive officer Rod Bowles said he was delighted to see the program open for applications. “The past twoyears have been challenging for the societies and we’relooking forward to welcoming more families to the upcoming spring show season,” Mr Bowles said. Applications are open until September 26. For more information, visit the Agriculture Victoria website.

The grants are open to all eligible Victorian Agricultural and Pastoral Societies that are hosting up-and-coming agriculture, horticultural or pastoral events. Grants will be capped and basedonprevious ticket revenue fromrecent shows, events or field days held by the Agricultural and Pastoral Society.

“We have real challenges and we’ve been waiting along time for solutions,” Ms Simson said. “We’re going into the Summit being honest about those problems and offering up carefullyconsidered solutions that we think anyone can get behind.”

The fundinghas been made available throughthe stategovernment’s one-off investment in the Children Entry COVID Recovery Grants program. Agriculture Victoria policy and programs executive director Sarah-Jane McCormack, said the programwould ensure regional and rural shows could come back stronger than ever. “For the past two years, most of the state’s agriculturalshows havebeen significantly impacted by COVID-19 and these grantshelp organisers return to pre-pandemic attendance and revenue,” Ms McCormack said. “Free entry for kidsmakes it easier for familiestocome along and see first-hand best on-farmpractices and to immerse themselves in learning experiences to better understand agriculture.”

THE National Farmers’ Federationwas addressing chronic labour shortages in the farming sector at the Jobs and Skills Summit in Canberra last month.

“There is no silver bullet to this crisis, we need to pull every lever available. After all, this isn’t just afarmer issue, it’s hurting our economy and ultimately, every Australian,” Ms Simson said. However, Ms Simson warned the summit needed short, medium and long-term approaches,with targets to match. “The government must identify measurable targets to hold this event to account and make sure it’s not just atalkfest,”she said.

“We’ve had alot of interested parties putting their hands up to take the plastic in earnest once we start, there’s an end market now that wasn’t there five or 10 years ago, this is promising. “I thinknow consumers are seeing we need to do things better, as an industry we wanttobeleaders in this space.”

By MICHELLE SLATER DAIRY Australia is developing anational scheme to divert thousands of tonnesofplasticsilage wrap out of landfill through anew recycling program being trialled in western Victoria. Dairy Australia sustainability and innovation programs manager Ian Olmstead said they were hoping to roll the program out nationally once the trial was complete.

Don’t burn it: DairyAustralia is developing a national plastic silage wrap recycling scheme. photoraph supplied GP1647805

Mr Olmstead said between eight-and-a-half and nine tonnes of silage plastic was being used in Australia every year, including wraps and pit covers. “We know alarge amount of this ends up in landfill and asmall amountends up in existing recycling. Some is being managed on-farm, either buried or burned,this is the reality,” Mr Olmstead said. Mr Olmsteadsaidfarmers were being given free 190 kilogram-capacity bins to collect the waste they could either drop off at central collection points, or paya$25 feetohave it picked up. He said mostfarmers werewilling to pay the pick-up fee, which was less than rates at local tips. The wrap is being sent to arecycler in Melbourne’s south, where it could be turned into new plastic films or sent off to be mixed with other plastics to be turned into harder products.

“We are trying to develop anationally-consistent approachtocollecting plastic and providesome transparency where it ends up and what it gets converted into,” Mr Olmstead said. “Farmers have gone to the effort of separating it, they want to know its not just going into landfill. If people see their neighbours doing it, other farms will get on board too.” Mr Olmstead said there had been alot of investment in recycling domesticallysince Asia imposed export bans on Australian waste afew years ago. But he said there was alot of logistics to overcome establishing the scheme nationally, such as making it economically viable and finding arecycler in each region that could take the wraps. He said there had been some interest in developing either bio-degradable or compostable silage wraps, but the plastic wouldperishifleft outdoors andexposethe feed. “The uptake of the trial in western Victoria has been excellent, the fundingmeans we have to manage the costs of moving the plastic to the recycler and managing the tests,” Mr Olmstead said.

mentorship program to help

TECH savvy women are wanted for aRural Women Online mentorship program Rural Women Online, an initiative of the Victorian Women’s Trust, is recruiting volunteer mentors to helpregional Victorian women improve their digital skills. “So much of modernAustralian life happens online; banking, education, health, government services and more. IT skills enhance awoman’s economicparticipation and social connection,” Victorian Women’s Trust executive director, Mary Crooks, said. “Despite the resourcefulness and strength of regional women, almost athird report experiencing exclusion from the digital world. This exclusion is exacerbated by fear and shame of aperceived lack of technical skills. “Rural Women Online will help regional women overcome ability-based digital inclusionbarriersby providing positive and empowering opportunities to build digital skills. But we can’t do it alone. “We are recruiting women as mentors to work one-on-one with afellow Victorian woman to share skills and digital knowledge.” Victorian Women’s Trust chair Alana Johnson AM said Rural Women Onlinewas established to help women who werestruggling with digital platforms during the COVID lockdowns. “I knewwomen whose isolationwas exacerbated by not having the knowledge to use the digital platforms that we needed to use,” Ms Johnson told The Latrobe Valley Express “Whether it was settingupa MyGov account, online banking, telehealth, even booking aCOVID test. It requireddigital knowledge thatalot of women didn’t have.” Many never used Zoom before 2020, and while many adapted quickly to this sudden shift, others were left in the dark.

“I was organising an online get-together, and awoman who lived on afarm alone hadn’t seen anyone in weeks, because she didn’t know what Zoom was,” Ms Johnson said.

“We decided we would help women with the ability factor.” Ms Johnsonsaidthatorganisations likethe Country Women’s Association meantthere was already aculture of rural women assisting one another. “We designed the help pages on the website, but the biggest part of the project is women mentoring other women who need digital assistance. We get women who have some IT knowledge to volunteer to help another woman for up to 30 hours. “The mentor is important because alot of people over 50 may have their children or their grandchildren help them with digital skills. But it doesn’t always prove successful because young people expect you to retain it. But (older people) need to be told anumberoftimes, maybe up to five times for them to remember. “Not everyone has someone that can show that to them. The mentors are going to be patient, available and talk your language.”

“Myselfand others assisted her to download it on her computer, so she was able to join in, and it opened awhole newworld for her. She started to attend seminars and catch up with friends and family. “It totally changed her experience in the Covid lockdown when she was feeling so isolated.” Ms Johnson said that perceived shortcomings in digital skills exacerbated remoteness for communities affected by the Black Summer bushfires “Inthe recovery phase, isolation was abig factor. (Thefires)happenedinveryisolated areas. To rebuild communitiesbyconnecting to one another wasparamount as people couldn’t get together in aphysical sense,” she said. “Some had to leave the area because of housing issues, so digital connectivity allowed them to stay connected. “Many had to correspond with the government and insurance companiesondigitalplatforms. There’sa highlevel of digital skills required to do all that.” Ms Johnson said the Australian Digital Inclusion Index indicated the most digitally isolated individuals are older people, the socially disadvantaged and those who live in rural and remote areas. “There are three‘pinch points’ in the digital gaps; the first is access. The NBN is patchyinrural Victoria. The second is affordability as the cost of living keeps going up. And the third is ability, which means having the digital skills to actually use the (online) platforms.”

Rural Women Online has been runningopen days around the state in libraries, including in Wonthaggi and Bairnsdale. “We want to feel there is awelcoming place for women, and the libraryisa good place forthat, regardless of their background or digital skills. There are women who don’t have acomputer or a smartphone, who are welcomed to use the equipment at the library. We’ve metwomenwho had no email address and helped them set one up.” Ms Johnson says she hopes there will be more open days. “I encourage women to register for the project and to get assistance at their local library. Depending on our funding, we may be able to run open days in other areas,” she said. Rural WomenOnline’s help desk is open Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, running through the end of September. The phone service helps ruralwomenwho need assistance with IT and digital services. Alternatively,women can submit aquestion to the website, and it willbeanswered within two days. Ask aquestion or become amentor at ruralwomenonline.org.au “Everyone deserves the support they need to build digital skills,” Ms Crooks said. “We want women to knowthat no question is too silly.”

“YOU couldn’t get two contrasting entries to a Grand Final “Yinnar have played four finals to get to a Grand Final and with a last game bye we have played one “The style of footy will be different and body size and shape is also different The preparation for games and training would also be poles apart but the one thing that will be guaranteed is a fierce contest “We respect Tac (Danile) Taylor and his team, it has been a good story “We have built a style and belief amongst Newborough boys born at the club, they will only accept one outcome “Nobody deserves more reward for effort than Jibba (Peter) Ainsworth, and our story has also been a good read, but the final chapter, we will write ourselves ”

Newborough

Newborough the favourites FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND

“They’ve got a lot of quality players right across the board, they’re coached very well and they play for each other, which is the main ingredient to be a successful team at this time of the year “Newborough have been in dominant form for a long time now, they deserve to be favourites and we know they’re going to be hard to beat “One thing I will say about my boys is we’ve had our backs to the wall for six weeks now and have loved every minute of it The boys are playing a great brand of hard team first finals football “We’ve got a lot of confidence, momentum and belief at the right time of the year, which is danger ous for any opposition let alone a team that come this Saturday will have only played one game of football in 35 days “We’re really looking forward to the opportunity on Saturday and may the best team win ”

THE Mid Gippsland Football Netball League 2022 competition has, without question, been the most even in memory, where the competitiveness on a week to week basis has demanded the very best of coaches, clubs and players alike The make up of the final six was not determined until the final minutes of the home and away season, and the finals in recent weeks have produced results hard to foresee The obvious example of that has been the winning run of the Yinnar, whose success started some weeks before the finals, but continued impressively right up until the most important week of the year Grand Final week! Both clubs have prepared so bril liantly, even given their respective paths to the big day have been so different The respective coaches had this to say in the lead up:

Daniel Taylor Yinnar “OBVIOUSLY we’re stoked to be playing in the Grand Final this weekend against Newborough

FOOTBALL MID GIPPSLAND By ROB POPPLESTONE

Yinnar over the past month and a half The Magpies may have fallen into sixth spot on the back of some lucky results, but there was no doubting their belief that they deserved to be where they were Yinnar continued to go from strength to strength, defeating Tarwin 16 10 (106) to 10 4 (64) to advance to the Grand Final Yinnar coach Daniel Taylor was, understand ably, ecstatic “Another outstanding performance by the boys, we came in with a plan to put it on Tarwin early as we thought they’d be feeling the pressure”, he said “To their (Tarwin’s) credit they came out firing and really put the pressure on us early We settled and worked ourselves into the game and went in at quarter time probably lucky to be within a kick “After quarter time the boys got to work and really started to dominate the game Our tack ling pressure was right up, which was led by the midfield group, and then our decision making and ball use going forward was fantastic “It was just another really good team effort right across the board which is what you need at this time of year to win big games of footy “Really happy and proud of the boys’ effort, we’ve had our backs to the wall a lot this season but the character, fight and determination the group has shown all season has been second to none “I’m just super proud and the boys deserve the opportunity to play in the big one this weekend “I also want to give a shout out to Troy (Hemming) and the Tarwin boys, they’re a really good team and Troy’s done a really good job to get them to the pointy end of the season in his first year at the club “On Saturday we really threatened to open the game up and completely kick away, but they showed some fight and kept coming at us all day which is a credit to them “I think they will be right in the mix again come next year ” The result was obviously not what the Sharks wanted, but for a young group, the potential is obvious to the coach of the year “Yinnar just had a little bit more experience than us, they have a lot of quality players,” Hemming said “We made some critical errors in bad areas of the ground Ben Ellen, our captain, left everything on field and shows why he is captain of the team of the year “Noah Hickman fought hard all day We are a very young group and it’s been a privilege to coach these boys this year “They have developed and they have devel oped me Love them like a family ” Tarwin 16 13 (109) 16 5 (101) 2: Yinnar 1114 (80) Morwell East

Magpies have self belief

AS good as some players, and indeed some teams have been throughout the 2022 season, it is always around this time of year that reputations can be made or lost Performing in the big games, in the big finals, is what good footballers and great teams do The Mid Gippsland Football Netball League had welcomed six former Alberton FNL clubs in 2020, making for a 13 strong team competition This however was the first season it took place fully, and provided the first opportunity to reach a Grand Final Newborough had already booked their place in the ‘big dance’, and there was strong support for Tarwin to fly the flag for those who had for so long followed football in South Gippsland as the Preliminary Final was staged last Saturday at Yinnar The Magpies took home ground billing, and the stage was set for Yinnar to enter the Grand Final in somewhat dramatic circumstances, as they needed to win the last round of the home and away season just to make finals

The question on most football fans’ lips before the preliminary final, centered on whether Tarwin, the team that sat atop the MGFNL lad der for almost every week of the season, could stop the unbelievable run of success enjoyed by

ITHOUGHT Newborough were the best side we played this year, really good mix of on-ballers and dangerous forwards. Yinnar are flying at the moment, so it should be a cracking game of footy, but Newborough in a close one.

SENIOR FOOTBALL GRAND FINAL TIPS

Liam Durkin (LVExpress) MY heart wants Newborough to win simply because I’ve played alongside afew of them. Think they can get it done, although playing one game in 30-something days isn’t ideal.

#3 Harri McColl: Can play either endwith agreat set of hands. Flowing locks.

NEWBOROUGH they have afresh list, whereas Yinnar has done it the hard way.

YINNAR, 14 points. They have agreat balance of experience and excitement. Peter Harris (MDU) NEWBOROUGH have been aconsistent performer all year and Yinnar have hit their straps at the right time. Newborough to get up in aclose one due to Joel Mitchell kicking abag.

#13 Jack Deen: Selfless defenderwho has a lockdown role mostweeks. Rarely gets beaten #14Mark Quigley: Attacking defender.Good decision maker with ball in hand.

#17Kane Grinstead Jones:Veryclever mid/ forward who doesn’t waste apossession.Great set of handsand greatbelow hisknees. Can hit the scoreboard.

NEWBOROUGH by 15. The midfield battle could be neutral but the Josh Pearce/Joel Mitchell combination gives the Dogs afew more tricks for mine and could be the difference.

ALL the best to Craig and Daniel -wearen’t surprised this is the final match up. Hard watching Yinnar go through after week one, the boys are still flat knowing the path we would’ve been on. Play Pearce deep, Mitchell high and (Mitchell) Stanlake as abig-bodied mid and it’ll be three-four goal victory to the Dogs.

HAVING played both teams and had the better of both, it’s atough one to judge. Ithink purely the fact the dogs have the week off puts them in the box seat. If Callum Shiels can play, Yinnar is achance, if he can’t Ithink Newborough should win, they are well coached and well structured.

LouisaPratt (WD) Will be taggingher WA allgame, butalso looking for somebig intercepts down the court. She is a work horse. Emily Taylor -captain (GD) Will lead fromthe front and won’tstop running all day in attack anddefence. She will pull in intercepts and rebounds when the teamneeds.

NETBALL

Taking to the Yinnar courts, it was abattle of the Magpies as the combatants fought it out for the right to play Mirboo North for the title. When the final siren sounded, the margin was just one goal in favour of Toora. The Magpies of Toora played outstanding netball to defeat Yinnar on their home court, and will have every reason to believe they can genuinely defeat the Tigers come Saturday. Mirboo North, in contrast, will head into the decider fresh off aweek’s rest, and with a fortnight to prepare for the game, coach Ebony Best is leaving nothing, if anything, to chance. “We know Saturday will be areally tough game,” she said. “The results before this game don’t matter. It will be the team who comes mentally prepared, does the basics and plays their structures. “I couldn’t be prouder of my girls and Iknow we have done everything possible to give us a chance to win on Saturday.” From the outside looking in,everything seems to be laid out perfectly for Mirboo North. The Tigers have avoided playing Morwell East during the finals, ateam which seemed to be something of abogey side during 2022. Mirboo North now also takes on ateam that has had to win through to the Grand Final in a very hard-fought game. Whether or not Toora takes sore bodies into the decider remains to be seen, but the Tigers enter the match as rightful favourites.

Whatever went on at half-time in the Wildcats’ room should be bottled and sold. After looking all but buried, the Wildcats found the gear that saw them kick 11 unanswered goals in the final term last week and the outsider, down by north of four goals at the main, found themselves in the lead when three quarter time was called. The third quarter procession started with Fythe, who again pushed forward off his wing and found O’Sullivan who goaled. When the big fella sharked the ball from the ruck moments later and kicked his secondina minute, agenuine contender for goal of the day, the Wildcats were on the prowl. Aquick reply by De Carli, which was the Jets’ only scorefor the term, couldn’t even slow the flow. By the time Jessup kicked truly and Cam Whiteoak had done the same, the Wildcats were in the lead. It looked as if the momentum that had pushed Michael Duncan’s team from fifth at season’s end to apreliminary final would sweep them all the way tothe decider. The Jets headed to the three quarter time huddle agoal behind, withtwo players off the ground since early in the gameand Mitch Luck back in the senior side after missing months of footy. Questions were rightfully being asked about their ability to keep up withthe Wildcats. Would itbestraightsets for the Jets? Surely not. Alas, the last quarter was much like the third; this time however, itwas YYNwho didall the scoring. And Idomean all the scoring. They managed to ram home 4.5 (29) while keeping the Wildcats off the scoreboard. After injecting himself into the middle, the ageless Barrie Burnett followed the ball forward and kicked aterrific dribble goal around the corner. This piece of brilliance put the Jets back in front, and as if inspired by watching their very own senior citizen lift his side, the Jetsran riot. Hughes played closer to goal and started to hit the scoreboard, registering three of his fourgoals in the last term when the game was well and truly on the line. As if that wasn’t enough, he then turned provider to set-up MacDonald for the sealer at 21 minutes. As muchasWillBroadbent and aclearly injured Ben Johnson toiled in the back half, the dam wall had well and truly cracked and it was season over for the Wildcats. YYN mayhavewon their way through to the big dance, but it will be aworrying week for the Jets with MacDonald noticeably favouring his left leg post-game. His injury, along with those to Massese and Paulet earlier in the game, will be the major concerns for the Jetsasthey look forward to the premiership decider at Heyfield on Saturday.

FOOTBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND By SCOTT BERCHREE AN enthralling North Gippsland FootballNetball League Preliminary Final was played at Gaskin Park, Churchill on Saturday. Yallourn Yallourn North defeated an impressive Woodside outfit 13.10 (88) to 10.5 (65). The Jets won their way through to the Grand Final, where are-match with Traralgon Tyers United awaits them. This did not come before an all mighty scare, however. In agame that ebbed and flowed throughout, it was Woodside who took the early ascendency. Unfortunately for the large contingent of supporters in the blue and white hoops, alack of composure in front of goal meant that even though their side had three of the first four scores of the game, they headed into the first term trailing by 15 points. With Ryan Foat clearly dominating the tap work, the Wildcats were unable to take advantage of his efforts, and when Elliot De Carli, Dylan Keyhoe and Dylan Bath kicked truly for the Jets in the last 10 minutes of the quarter, fears were high for aone-sided game. Game-ending injuries to Jets’ onballer Jai Massese and high-marking wingman Brad Paulet before the end of the first term left the door ajar for Woodside to perhaps grind out a result. In the absence of Massese, James DiVirgilio stepped up through the middle and was terrific for YYN. For Woodside, Lee Stockdale had plenty of it early, as did the helmet-wearing Alfred Jessup. Michael O’Sullivan, added to last week’s side in place of Braden Askew, looked as if he might take the game apart for the Wildcats up front if the midfield could get him enough supply. After an arm wrestle in the first term, the game came to life in the second, where in the space of 10 minutes, from the seven-minute mark onward, the teams slammed home three goals each. The run on goal was started by O’Sullivan when he kicked the first of his three. This was followed by Joh Fythe, who pressed forward from his wing and all of asudden, Woodside was back in the contest. The dynamic duo of Keenan Hughes and Dean MacDonald then came to life in the YYN forward 50. Hughes went back-to-back before, in one of the best bits of team play of the day, the man known as D-Mac kicked truly. It started with Mitch Luck across half-back, who found Dylan Keyhoe with asearing pass on his left foot. Keyhoe then found his brother Josh on the run, who in turn laced out MacDonald 40-odd metres from goal. He may have been much closer to the boundary than directly in front, but from the moment the ball left the star forward’s trusty boot, the result was never in doubt. The Jets looked pretty comfortable with half-time on the horizon. After nearly 10 minutes of goal-less footy after the rapid-fire burst mid-term, the last goal of the half would be crucial. When Keenan Hughes marked and kicked truly as the hooter sounded to end the half, it was the Jets who got it. They had themselves ahandy 26-point lead with plenty of momentum, and those earlier fears of ablow-out had again re-surfaced.

Scott Berechree BASED on the full body of work for season 2022, the boys from Yallourn Yallourn North were clearly the best team. But based on the last fortnight or so of footy, the health of the respective lists, and as Denis Denutto might add, even the vibe, you get the feeling almost everything is advantaging TTU. Liam Durkin VERY hard to pick. Was looking like a one-horse race four weeks ago, but TTU has certainly proven it deserves to head in with a more than justifiable chance. I’ll say YYN but without agreat deal of conviction.

FOOTBALL

AFTER being the hunted all season long Yallourn Yallourn North go into this week’s NGFNL Grand Final against Traralgon Tyers United as the hunter. Anear perfect home-and-away season by the Jets, one that that saw them drop just a single game, was all but negated when TTU obliterated them in the second semi-final two weeks ago. That YYN were able to regroup after that loss and then overcome athree-quarter time deficit in the Preliminary Final against Woodside to win their way through to the last game of the season says plenty about their character. The fact they were down at that stage of the game though says plenty about their recent form -advantage TTU. Inote at the time of typing this, Jane Bunn and her mates at the BOM are predicting a damp end to the week and it is likely that the GF will be played in similar conditions to the second-semi -advantage TTU. Come the selection table Thursday night TTU will have anear-full list to choose from, with the unlucky Tom Fleming one of the few unavailable because of injury. If the Bombers’ brains trust want to add some height to the side they can go to Tim Hendricken. He slotted abag in the Reserves second-semi so is in good form. If they want to add some experience they can call upon former skipper and swing-man Guy Sinclair, who also missed the senior second semi win -advantage TTU. Meanwhile at YYN they will be without Jai Massese -afavourite for their best and fairest -injured. They may also be without Bard Paulet, best on ground in their losing second-semi effort, injured. And while likely to play, Dean MacDonald, he who has slotted the lazy eight off goals for the season, limped off Churchill’s Gaskin Park after the Prelim win -advantage TTU. Aquick look at theform line when these sides have met this year shows us YYN had a seven-point win over TTU in round seven, when the Bombers were coming off abye, followed by awhopping 71-point win in Round 18 when both sides knew their finals fate and there was little for which to play. When all the cards were on the table however and aspot in the premiership decider was on the line, TTU flipped those results on their head and smacked the then-flag favourites by eight goals. Were it not for three junk-time goals when the game was all over it would have been near on a12-goal margin to Jamie Aitkens’ men in red and black -advantage TTU. There are massive match ups all over the ground. In the Jets front half you will see Zac Kilgower run around with Keenan Hughes, Justin Barnes on Dean MacDonald and, surely adefensive forward such as Josh Keyhoe on TTU’s dangerouscentre half back Jack Brown. At the other end Campbell MacInnes will renew his acquaintances with Brad Kelleher and after abest-on-ground performance when these sides last met Stu Goddard, he of the Rambo hair, will have plenty of attention on himwith perhaps wily old veteran Owen Budge tasked with shutting him down. Without Massese on the park for YYN Jimmy D, or James DeVirgilio as his birth certificate says, Dylan Bath, Lachy Little and Tindara Hood will carry ahugeload in the middle. They will see any or all of both Jacobsens, Hayden Willaton, TTU skippers Mustoe and Nielson and even Jayden Cutts run through the middle against them. The Bombers were unable to take advantage of Alan Norris’s ruck work when these sides last met but will absolutely need to do so if they are achance to over-turn that result -advantage TTU. -Goals:T Crawford 3, Best: Hvan Rossum, LHecker, BLuxford,B Woodward, RHarding IT’s great to have both our senior and reserve football teams competing in the 2022 Grand Final. It’s been 18 years since our senior football team has played in aGrand Final,somuch hard work has gone into the club through that period of time by many people. proud ofall our players, they have all put in atremendous amount of hard work from the start of the preseason. our senior and reserve squads will embrace the challenge and give their very best for each other and the club.”

NETBALL NORTH GIPPSLAND By LIAM DURKIN IT has come down to this. Rosedale and Woodside are the only two left standing in North Gippsland netball. The Blues and Wildcats have earned the right to battle it out for the title of season 2022 premier, and will be gunning to make sure it is their name on the premiership cup by 5pm this Saturday.

Influential: CarlyJohnstone will be out to give herteammates plentyofoptions during the Grand Final. photograph zoeaskew Rosedale playerprofiles indeed come to an end. Were they no longer the all-conquering outfit that had seen them play in eight grand finals in 10 years during the 2010s? Those who thought this didn’t think to tell Rosedale. Round 8signalled the start of aBlues winning streak that continued right up until Round 18, when they drew with Glengarry. Along the way, they defeated Woodside 42 to 35, and then repeated the dose in the Second Semi Final to advance to the decider. Rosedale won through to the Grand Final after winning 54 to 38. The performance was made all the more meritorious by the fact the side was without star defender Emily McInnes. McInnes is expected to be brought back in for the Grand Final, and will be looking to add to her premiership collection. The goal keeper is anoted big game player, having won abest on court medal playing for Moe in aGippsland League premiership. Rosedale has no shortage of finals experience, and players such as Lorelle Lowe and Sarah Mayman have well and truly been and done grand finals before. It will be avery busy day for the small town, which has five teams in various Grand Finals across netball and football. The Blues’ AGrade opponents won their preliminary final last week against Sale City. Woodside prevailed 62 to 40,tobook their ticket to the big dance. “We said at the start we would take this game moment by moment, play by play and pass by pass,” Wildcats coach Libby Nicol said. “Every lead, every pass and every intercept mattered. With that attitude we created an unstoppable momentum. “Our defenders built pressure all over the court. We contested everything and created an endless amount of turnovers. “Our mid-court drove with speed and linked our long court transitions beautifully. “We played an extremely smart game in attack. The feeds into the goal circle were accurate and unstoppable. It was an amazing team performance by everyone,” she said. “Bring on the big dance, know that pressure is aprivilege and take this opportunity by the horns!” Anumber of exciting match-ups are on the cards, with Woodside’s Caitlan Ponton possibly up against Rosedale shooter Meg Gordyn. to go: Rosedale faces Woodside in the North Gippsland AGrade netball Grand Final. The team is: Nadine Johnstone (team manager), Bron Tebb,Meg Gordyn, MischeRichards,Meaghan MacDonald (front) Demi Plunkett, CarlyJohnstone,Lorelle Lowe (captain), Kirrly Bruce andSarah Mayman (coach).

“The message is simple -drinking and driving don’t mix. We need young people to recognise this and separate the behaviour,” he said. “Fartoo often we hear from driversthatthey thought they’d be okay to driveafterone or two drinks. The safest option is -ifyou’re going to drink, don’t drive; or if you’re going to drive, don’t drink. “End of football season celebrations are commonly associatedwith social eventsand alcohol consumption, so if you’re planning to drink, just leave the car at home and arrange adesignated driver or utilise alternative transport methods.

“We’re also appealing to parents to speak to their kids about planning safe ways to get home before going out, so they’re not tempted to drink and drive. “Drink and drug driving won’t be toleratedunder any circumstances. The penalties are significant, and you will be caught -sowhy risk it?” Drivers agedunder 26 or subject to zero blood alcohol content conditions receive an on-the-spot $555 fine and six-month licence disqualification fora first offence, while novice drivers receive an on-the-spot fine of $462 and athree-month licence disqualification.

More serious drink-drivingoffencescan result in further penalties including vehicle impoundment, licence cancellation or extensive disqualification, hefty fines, and even jail time.

Police blitz on drink driving

VICTORIA Police arereminding spectators to behave responsibly at local football and netball Grand Final this weekend. One in five drink drivers detected in Victoria is aged 25 and under. VictoriaPolice is warning youngpeopleabout dangers of miscalculating theiralcohol intake during local footy final celebrations. Victoria Policeanalysis shows 20 per cent of drivers detected over the prescribedlimit between April 2021 and March 2022 fell into the younger age bracket. Miscalculation of alcohol consumption has been identified as oneofthe mostcommonreasons given to police by detected young drivers. Thetrend suggests many are opting to risk havingafew drinks before getting behind the wheel rather than remaining sober or using alternative transportwhendrinking -despite probationary and learner drivers being required to have a zero-alcohol limit. As end-of-seasonfootball celebrationsare underway across the state, police are actively engagingwith Victorian football clubs and leagues to ensure precautions are in place so that players and supporters enjoy the celebrations safely. Clubsand parents in local footballcommunities are being encouragedtoarrange alternative transport options so players can celebrate with their teammates and travel home safely from end of seasonfunctions, reducing the risk of driving while impaired. Acting Assistant Commissioner Justin Goldsmith, Road Policing Command, said the penalties for drink driving were significant.

EXPERIENCING the benefits of early childhood educationasaparent is what inspired Gippsland’s Kristy How to pursue acareer in the same field. Mrs How volunteered as aparent helper when her children attended Gippsland Grammar’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) at the School’s St Anne’s Campus in Sale and it was then when the school’s ELC director Lisa Burgess encouraged Mrs How to turn her obvious passion into acareer. Mrs How enrolled in aBachelor of Education(Early Childhood)atCurtin University of Technology and the rest, as they say, is history. “After meeting the amazing staff (at the ELC) and seeing what they do, Iknew Iwanted to work in early childhood,” Mrs How said. “AndwhatI’ve nowdiscovered first-hand is that being an early childhood teacher is achanceto make areal difference in young lives and support future generations. “Children remind youofthe wonderand pos sibility in the world.” Mrs How has now been teaching at Gippsland Grammar’s St Anne’s ELC for the past two years and is one of the leading teachers in the ELC’s four-year-old transition program. She has continued to fuel her passion for further study in this field and she has almost completed her Master of Education (AdvancedTeaching and Learning), also at Curtin University, which she has done with the help of the school’s ‘Staff Study Support’ program.

It’s achancetosay thank you to Australia’s early childhood educators on avery personal level by service operators, families and their children, as well as collectively at the state and national levels.

“I have used thisstudy support to further develop our practice at the ELC, including our STEM teaching program,” Mrs How said. “It was great to have this opportunity to be supported by the School.”

AHEALTHY breakfast is always aperfect way to begin any day. At Joseph’s Primary School in Trafalgar, students are being offered ahealthy breakfast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning.

Today (Wednesday, September 7) is Early Childhood Educators’ Day, which recognises and celebratesthe work of Australia’s educators in early learning services for their important contribution to the wellbeing and healthy development of the young children in their care.

The program involves the school makinga financial contribution to support staff members for a12-monthperiodofstudy and, since the program was launched in 2019, four Gippsland Grammar staff, including Mrs How, havebenefited from the program.

Gippsland Grammar will be celebrating the day at its twoELCs at its Bairnsdale and St Anne’s (Sale) campuses, which both offerthree and fouryear old kindergartenprograms.

The programs are tailoredtomeet the needs of young students and ensure their first schooling experience is positive and happy.

BASKETBALL BIG V BY LIAM DURKIN

Unitedlooked to have the game undercontrol when it led by four with just over three minutes left. However, in astunning turn of events, Pakenham squared the ledger with athree-point jump shot, followed by atwo-point lay up to hit the lead. Untied scrambled to theirend of the court, trying in vain to find amiracle three-point response. Gippsland missed consecutive three-point jump shots, but tied thing up thanks to the cool head of Ben Barlow, who nailed both free-throws. All square at 79 apiece with 1:44 left on the clock. Pakenham was the first team to edge ahead, but star United import Brandon Armstrong put the home side back in front,sinking both his free-throws. With precious secondsticking away, United

THEY’VE got abig stadium, and now they’ve got abig championship flag to hang up. Gippsland United Men did notneed to go to a decider, after winning Game 2ofthe Big VGrand Final series. The team completed an 87 to 80 victory over Pakenham to claim the title on Saturday night. You could not have scripted it any better. Afirstyear club in anew competition,coming from behind to win the flag in front of apackedhome crowd at theGippsland RegionalIndoor Sports Stadium, Traralgon. While the huge army of Gippsland United fans may not have seen any court time, they certainly played ahand in the result -literally. There is no doubt the volumeofnoise generatedin the stands led to the number of free-throwsmissed by Pakenham -they shot at less than 50 per cent; only six went in from 13 attempts. Withaparochial home crowdbehindthem, Gippsland United went into Game 2following an 84 to 73 win over Pakenham seven days prior. The Warriorswereclearly in the mood to redeem that performance, andbefore the game had achance to settle, the visitors had skipped to a10-point lead. At that stage, some may have been fearing athird gamewould be neededtodecide the championship, but United was able to work its way back into the contest. Having set the goal of having20points on the board every quarter this season, United was able to reach this KPI at the end of the first, and went in trailing by just one, 23 to 22. The home side was outscored in the second term, but again, was able to keep pace with their opponents. It was moreofthe same in the third quarter, although this time, Unitedoutscored Pakenham 18 to 17 With the scoreboard at the last change reading 58 to 60, United’s fate was staring them straight in the face. As the pressure lifted, heartrates pumped and nervesjangled,bothsides shared periods of dominance.

Our residents feel valued and secure, knowing that they’recared for and respected by those looking after them.

Speaking of the slow start, McKenzie said there was no need to hit the panic button. “I wasn’t concerned, we havebeen in thatposition before,” he said. “I knew that the boys would come back and fight out of that. You have trust in these guys.” Given the nature of the match, McKenzie never felt as though he thought United had it won. “I suppose withabout three minutes to go I thought we were right, but then they came back again,”hesaid. “There wasnomomentuntil probably the last 15 seconds that Ifelt we had it under control. “I said at the start of the season Pakenham was going to be the team to beat, they proved that tonight,they are an awesome team, well coached.” Unitedplayersand officials tookpart in the traditional cuttingofthe net to officially mark their championship. Ever the professionals,some United officials already had one eye turnedtothe following season while all this was going on. Bring on Division 1.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. O’Brien backed up asteal by drawing afoul, and then put United ahead by three after calmly and cooly netting his two free-throws. Pakenham called atimeout with 32 seconds left, but on the return, Armstrong was able to draw a foul, and give United afive point lead. The Warriors called another last-ditch time out with 14 seconds left, but from there, their task became too great, and United saw out the game. Passionate United fans stormed the court postgame to congratulate their heroes. Armstrong,named player of thematch forhis 23-point, seven rebound effort, was well and truly king of the kids, and was swamped by youngsters wanting to pat him on the back. The celebrationscontinuedon-court,delaying the presentation somewhat as the crowd needed to retreat back into the grandstand. United captain Simon Vannapraseuth was graciousinvictory, and sought out his opposite number in Pakenham’s Jake Spruhan to congratulate him on the season. An emotional Gippsland United coach Scott McKenzie was lost for words after the game. “I really don’t know (how it feels),I’ve gone braindead at the moment because there is alot of mental strain that goes into this, and alot of hard work over 11 months,” he said. “When it happens you have to pinchyourselfthat it has happened. It feels great, relief is one emotion, but so pleased for these guys, they have worked so hard for so long. “It is the old thing, if you work hard you get rewarded, and that is what these guys have got tonight.”

To round out ‘Wear It Purple day’ Gippsland Pride hosted afree social event at the end of the working day for members of the pride community and their loved ones to create asimple safe space for everyone. “We have heard anumberofpeople say ‘Can we do this once amonth? Can we just have something with apizza?Just onceamonth’,” Mrs Grigsby said. “It’sthat simple, that our young people don’t have somewhere to talk with each other. We are not going to change the hearts and minds of everyone overnight, we are not unrealistic. “Especially our young people, today is important because it’s lovely to recognise that you have queer young people. Our young people can’t access the help that they need.” If you need to reach out to the volunteers at Gippsland Pride, they can be reached at admin@ gippslandprideinitiative.com.au.

I’m excited that with evidence and data more can be done. “Gippsland Pride is looking for where the opportunities for LGBTQIA+ inclusion and improvement can occur and improve.”

“The survey will be used by Gippsland Pride to establish abaseline of information on two things, what the resourcesare available to LGBTQIA communities and to also identify the ways in which services can be supported to be better allies,” Mrs Grigsby said. “Some of this survey is spurred on by the frustration of inaction.Wehave tried to be patient,we havetriedtobenice, it is not working without evidence.

THE Gippsland Pride Initiative Inc (Gippsland Pride) supportedbyLoy YangB,launchedthe Rainbow Brick Road Survey -the first and largestLGBTQIA+ surveyofits kind specificallyfor the Gippsland community in Morwell on Friday, August 26 as part of Wear It Purple Day.

Latrobe Valley shoppers reach for the stars LATROBE Community Health Service, together with Latrobe Health Assembly, are helping Latrobe Valley shoppers to reach for the stars. Shoppers at Glengarry, Morwell and Moe IGA stores can now find aseries of healthy eating stars on posters and shelf tags in-store, highlighting the healthiest food options.

upcoming lunches, afternoon teas and club trips. At 10.30am we break for morning tea and achat which is followed by our guest speaker. Always Interesting. If you would like to find out more, you can call Val on 5133 9685 or Carol on 0439 344 365. Or even better, why not come along to our next meeting on Thursday, September 8from 10am at Morwell RSL Club, corner of Elgin and Tarwin Streets Morwell.

The stars form part of ahealthy supermarkets project called Reach for the Stars, which Latrobe Community Health Service, Latrobe Health Assembly and local IGA supermarkets are delivering. “We all want to eat healthy, but sometimes it can be confusing,” Latrobe Community Health Service public health nutritionist Laura Duff said. Atrialof Reach for the Stars is taking place for eight weeks between August and October. At participating supermarkets, shoppers can findhealthy eating stars on fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, which all have a5-star rating. They will also find shelf tags for 4½ and5-star rated products, along with recipes and healthy eating messages throughout the store. The project is based on the Health Star Rating system, which rates the nutritional profile of foods from ½to 5stars. The aim is to help customers compare similar products so they can easily find the healthiest option. “The supermarket is the perfect place to promote fresh and healthy foods. It is where we decide which foods webuy, and thus what we eat. Almost everyone shops at the supermarket,” Ms Duff said. “Health stars are aquick and easy way to compare similar foods. The more stars, the healthier.” Reach for the Stars has been co-designed with Latrobe Valley residents who said the in-store material was eye-catching, educational and effective. Moe IGA owner Kunal Palta is supporting the project, because he wants it to be easy for customers tofind healthy options in his supermarket. “Everyone wants toeat healthy foods, but this project provides really practical information to customers,” he said. “I want tohelp customers and the broader community have ahealthy diet to help them manage stress, be at their best every day, and live long and healthy lives.” Reach for the Stars is aLatrobe Health Innovation Zone initiative with support from Latrobe Health Assembly in partnership with the state government. “Congratulations to Glengarry, Morwell and Moe IGA supermarkets for participating inReach for the Stars,” Latrobe Health Assembly chairperson Tanya Rong said. “It shows their commitment to promote fresh and healthy foods to customers and the community.” For more information, visit: bit.ly/ latrobestars Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod GIPPSLAND’S local stars have polished their routines and are set to perform in Traralgon for the 66th Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod Performing Arts Festival.

MitchMembrey kickedthe ball straight up the middle, and after it bobbled around from apack of players, it was extracted by Sale, who were able to find acoupleofmarks within close proximity.

Although Leongatha carriesthe longest winning streak in country Victoria(currently at 25), one can’t help but think they might justbedue to suffer their first loss after what happened at the weekend. Wonthaggi, showing the same sort of tenacity that got them to their last Grand Final in 2014, went the distance with Leongatha right to the dying seconds. Awayward shot from the Power’s Kyle Reid moments before the final siren was all that stood in the way of Wonthaggi advancing to the big dance with aweek off. Scores were virtually level at the main break, before the Parrotstook a17-point lead into three quarter time. Leongatha kicked just one goal in the last to Wonthaggi’s three, but it proved to be enough.

For the Magpies, there was further good news, as the reserves caused the boilover of theseason, sending Wonthaggi packing in straight sets.

Desperation from Sale defender Jake Hutchins saved acertain goal, as he was able to fly through and get afist in at the last minute on aballthatwould haveput Traralgon30metresout fromgoalalmost straight in front.Before anyone had achance to congratulate him, he wasimpacting another contest in the pocket.

So closeyet so far: MarkCollisonwas among thebestfor Traralgonduring theMaroons’ thrilling semi-final lossagainstSale photograph liam durkin

THE Second Semi Finalpitted South Gippsland rivals Leongatha and Wonthaggi against each other.

This was takeninaliteral sense when star Magpie Shannon Lange wasforced from the ground, as asea of blood poured profusely from acut face sustained in the battle. Agoal to Pat Tainsh during red time levelled scores,asteams went to the last huddle at 7.6 (48) apiece. This was it. In just 30 minutes, one team would be out of the finals. At the risk of speaking in cliché, the first goal of the last quarter was ‘massive’.

The Parrots and Power came to Ted Summerton Reserve,Moe,and played out amatch forthe ages. While only one left the venue with aticket to the Grand Final, the other left with just as much confidence of winning the Grand Final should they get there. The final scoreboard showed aLeongatha win 10.4 (64) to 9.6 (60), but the final story showed the Parrots are welland truly beatable.

Aaron Heppell ended with four goals for the winners, and receivedgood support from Jake van der Plight, Matt Willcocks, Kim Drew, Tom Marriott and Ben Willis. The Parrot’s tagged Power captain Aiden Lindsay, but couldn’t curtail the influ ence of Jarryd Blair, Shannon Bray, Jack Hutchinson, Ryan Sparkes, Reid and Tom Davey. Granted they didn’tget the result they were after, Wonthaggi is unlikely to have too much cause for concern. This writer put thepen down on Saturday to direct traffic at TedSummerton Reserve, and watching Wonthaggi players exit their cars, you could just tell they were men on amission. It was like absolutely nothing could distract them. Atalking point in the lead-up to the game revolvedaroundaLeongatha playergoing to the Supreme Court to try and get off an eight-week suspension from Round 12, and whether or not this would cause adistraction.

Knew Ishould have played for Sale.

Troy Forrest gave Traralgon back the lead after the ballspilled goal sideand he was able to put his team five points up. Amid all the chaos there was still time for aslightlyhumorousmoment, which came when Sale ruckman Daine McGuiness found himself with the ball and acres of space in frontofhim.Givenmanyruckmanaren’t noted for their footskills and are told to handball at every opportunity,McGuinesslooked to be takingthis advice when he bounded down the wing on the car park side and still didn’t appear to know if he was allowed to kick the ball in that situation. Aforward thrust from Traralgon at the 18-minute mark was halted when Harvey Neocleeous was pinged for running too far, and afew minutes later, the wise old heads of Ryan Pendlebury andKane Martin for Sale set up Allison to take amarknomore than 15 minutes out from goal. Allison kicked truly to give the Magpies a one point lead. From the centre, the Maroons burst forward. Further desperation came when Lachlan Todd laid abone-crunching tackle on Haydn Hector, allowing the Magpies an opportunity to reset. Lange, back into the game with the addition of strappingtape around his head, controlled aseries of kicks along the interchange side of the ground, and ended up with theball near where the 50m arc intersects with the boundary. Although he was probably too far out to score, Lange had enough football smarts to tellthe umpire he was havinga shot, and therefore, could chew 30 vital seconds off the clock. Lange ran off the mark to wheelaround on his right, and ended up scoring apoint. Sale was now up by two points. Magpie officials,signallingtothe timekeepers’ box, were toldtherewas 40 seconds left Traralgon knew it as well, and from the kick-out, had to go for glory.

Not one to make excuses, Traralgon just got on with the job and still had two football teams and every grade of netball makefinals -anincredible achievement when you think aboutit.

Traralgon looked like they had it less than aminute in. Asnap from Conor Littlealmost drifted toward goal in slowmotion, onlytohit the steel stuff halfway up. Talk about tight margins. If only they moved that goalpost a foot when they built the ground.

Traralgon led by 12 points at the main break, which was cut back to six at the 12-minute mark of thethird afterJayden Allison found some space inside 50 to run into goal for Sale. Allison followed this up ashort time later with astrongtackleonMaroons’ playingcoach Jake Best, as the contest became a case of ‘Sunday, Bloody Sunday’.

The Power,who had only lost onegame for the regular season, were defeated 8.10 (58) to 5.8 (38). Sale now has abusy few days ahead, as its seniors and reserves have apreliminary final to prepare for.

The Magpieschipped it around, before fittingly, the ball ended up in the hands of playing-coach Jack Johnstone. The sirenwent as Johnstone came in to have ashotongoal. He missed, but Sale didn’t miss out, hangingonfor their first finals win since 2014.

Twofinals, two thrillers

There was an unfortunate case of déjà vu for the Maroons alittle while later, when the ball again collided with the pole.

FOOTBALL GIPPSLAND LEAGUE BY LIAM DURKIN EPIC. That is the only word to describe week two of the Gippsland League finals series. Acombined total of just seven points madeupthe margins in bothsemi finals, with Saturday’s match decided by four and Sunday’s by three. Leongathaisthe firstteamthroughtothe Grand Final, while Wonthaggi and Sale are still standing. Traralgon became the latest team eliminated,after losing to the Magpies in an all-time classic.

The Parrot’s reserves also madethe decider,after athumping 63-point point win to qualify. Backinearly Junethis paper said Leongatha’s secondswouldbeatop three senior side in North Gippy. I’m prepared to go astepfurther now they would just about make finals in Gippy League seniors. IN the words of Dennis Cometti after the 89’ Grand Final: “Ladies and gentleman you’ve just seen aclassic”. Similar sentiments were felt by spectators at Terry Hunter Oval, Traralgon on Sunday, who were there to witness asudden-death semi final decided by just three points between Sale and Traralgon. In agame that neither side deserved to lose, it was the Magpiesbyafeather, 8.12 (60)to8.9 (57). Sale lives to fight another day, whilefor Traralgon, it was ashatteringway to bow out. The Maroonscould not put afoot wrong early, and kicked three goals in what seemed likejust as many minutesduringthe first quarter.

Cooper Whitehill was bestonfor the Magpies, followed by Jack McLaren, Hutchins, Will Leslie, HarryRonchi and Tom Glen. Best for Traralgonwas Matt Northe, Mark Collison, Hugh Dunbar, Tye Hourigan, Tim Johnston and David Brinker-Ritchie.

TheMagpies clawed their way back into the contest,and wentinto the first break down by only eight points. From therethe match was an arm wrestle in the truest sense, with defensive efforts working at their optimal levels at both ends of the ground.

Asimilar thing happenedabout 20 years earlier when Cameron Mooney came in for Jason McCartney and came out aNorth Melbourne premiership player. We all know Mooney’s stats that day. The man who has become perhaps unfairly linked with statsongrand final day is Collingwood’s Leon Davis. However, do people ever stop and think of the crucial goal he kicked that enabled the Magpies to draw the grand final in 2010? Had it not been for Davis, there may have never been anext week for Collingwood. For that effort alone Icount him as much amember of that premiership team as anyone.

SOMETHING is going to have to go seriously wrong for Morwell not to win the AGrade flag. The Tigers won the Second Semi Final on Saturdayincommanding fashion, defeating Leongatha 58 to 44. Taking to the court at Ted Summerton Reserve, the Gippsland League ladder leaders rarely faulted, and puttogether adominant display to win through to the Grand Final. Shannon Freeman was best for the winners. Morwell certainly appearsa frightening prospect to take the title in alandslide, and from neutral observers’ view, looks to be ateam ruthlessly focussed on winning the premiership. The intimidation factormay be their greatest strength, and watching the Tigers’warm-up before Saturday’s final, they just looked like ateam that was ‘on’. The Tigers opponent for the Grand Final will be determinedafterthis Saturday, when the Parrots take on Moe. The Lions won their cutthroat First Semi Final, getting up over adetermined Wonthaggi 69 to 54. Ramayer Gourley madeawelcome return to the side, and was given best on court honours in the aftermatch. The Lions playing-coach was back from Australian Netball Championship commitments and played as goal shooter for the game. Her height proved decisive, working in tandem with Georgia Moody in goal attack. Although the Lions lost their previous encounter with Leongatha, the inclusion of Gourley into the mix certainly created awhole newdynamic for the Lions. Moe and Morwell have shared the last two A Grade premierships.

Just as IdoSimon Prestigiacomo, who was selected for the game but selflessly ruled himself out. And who could forget Nathan Jones doing virtually the same thing last season? Jones of all people would have been well within his rightstoplay as the sub and comeonwhen it was clear Melbourne was goingtobreak the drought. RecentlyIwas granted an interview with Jones. Iwas told Icould ask him about anything except the grand final. “He wants to move on from it” was the response Igot fromthe organiserwhenasked for an explanation. As Isaid-grand finals are ahighly emotional time. Those emotions are surelynot lost on players whose lives have been almost defined by the fact they happened to be in the right place at the right time on grand final day. Richard Hadley’s fourth game for Brisbane was apremiership. Mitch Morton only played 12 games for Sydney, and had aflag after game five. Jacob Townsend played five games for Richmond in 2017, and ended theyear with apremiership medal around his neck. Shane Ellen kicked five goals for the entire 1997 season -all in the grand final as Adelaide won its maiden title. Acouple of seasons earlier, Glenn Manton was called onto the dais for Carlton after being axed by Essendonlessthan 12 months earlier. The name Steven Armstrong might not mean much to anyoneexceptWestCoast fans. Armstrong’s last quarter goal in the 2006 grand final proved the differenceinagame decided by apoint. You wonder if these players are ever toldtohand back their medals if approached by drunken fans on anight out. You do hear some horror stories of local players being told to do likewise once the dust settles in the post-grand final mortem. Once again, emotions run high. For me, emotions of envy, jealousy and even anger will be felt over the next three weeks. These emotionsare understandable when you feel you commityourselfsofullytotryingtobe the best you can. Forfivemonths you undertake preseason, you do extra running, do your weights in the gym and monitor what foods you eat. Then for the next six months you train two nights aweek, do more extras working on your skills and fitness, then play your game, and before you know it, you’re jumping in ice cold water on aSunday morning to make sure you can do it all again. For ateam sport, there is acertainamount of loneliness in football. In years gone by agroup of us would even train on Christmas and New Year’s Day because we knew no one else would be. For all of that, when you get to grand final day as nothing more than aspectator, and see people on stage celebrating, you just can’t help but think -“That should be me, that’s what Ideserve”. So,with that, my best wishes to those lucky enough to be playing in grand finals. Play hard, and play well. Regardless of the result, you will still have your name. And ultimately, that is all anyone has.

Thereisnone of that in football. You play for one prize, on one day of the year, and only two teams ever take part. Is it any wonder grand finals are always ahighly emotional time? There isn’t just the storiesofclubsuccessand supporter’s joy, there is the interpersonal tales of the players involved, either directly or indirectly.

Taking adifferent perspective, think how another Hawthorn player in Ryan Schoenmakers felt after the 2015 grand final. Aman whowas castigated by supporters for dropping amarkinthe 2011 preliminaryfinal, finallyabletoput those demons to rest four years later. Or Dom Sheed, the man who kicked the winning goal for West Coast in the 2018 decider. He probably wouldn’t have even beeninthe team if Andrew Gaff didn’t suffer his brain explosion.

FOOTBALL COMMENT By LIAM DURKIN THERE are football grand finals on in Gippsland this weekend. I’ve never played in agrand final. In 10 years of open-age football I’ve never even got close. The closest I’ve got is asemi-final. Thatcame in 2018. We lost to one team all season -and then went out in straight sets. The next year we beatthe top two sides-and lost the elimination final by golden point. Two opportunities gone in an instant. At the time you thinkyou can getbackfromthere, but football justdoesn’t work like that. Teams change, personnel changes, prioritiesinlife change. People say football premierships are‘hard to win’. Ibelieve they are the hardest to win. In other sports your success can be largely selfdetermined, or even self-governed. If you are aboxer, you neverfightsomeone in anotherweight division; in golf you are given a handicap; in athletics you choose the distance best suited to you. In soccer you might not win the league, but you can still win the knock-outcup or finalsseries In swimming you mightnot winthe 100 metres freestyle, but you can stillwalk away fromameet ing with aswag of medals in other events. In tennis you can go from losing the singles to winning the doubles in amatterofhours. Cricketoffers the chance to win titles in three different formats. In local cricket they even let clubs decide for themselveswhatlevelofcompetition theywish to play.

With the game looking like going into the break at nil-all, the Orangemen were able to take advantage of aquick throw, with Joel Palermo’s scuffed shot on atight angle falling at the lap of former Falcons player Ryan Mcauley, who had the simplest of tap ins.

FALCONS VFORTUNA AFTER an enthralling league championship that sparked new-found interest in the Latrobe Valley Soccer League, Sunday was Fortuna’s turnto get one over its Crinigan Road rival and advance comfortably to their firstfinalofany sort in the last 12 years. The game started in subdued circumstances, with Falcons struggling to work themselves into the game, especially after going to penalties last weekend againstNewborough in agame that undoubtedly took alot out of the Birds.

Falcons would get one back shortly afterthrough Nonda Lazaris, and for abrief moment it seemed they have may fashionedanother, but the game was all but sealed as gaping holes appeared in the often resolute leaguechampiondefence when Tanti helped himself to abrace on the day.

In the second half Fortuna battled away, and it would soon be 2-nil as player-coach Hayden Tanti side-footed the ball into the net to send the away fans into delirium. To their credit, Falcons continued to hustle as only aleaguechampion would, but it would soon be game over as akeeper error fromCharles Simon allowed aDaniel Cooper corner to nip in at the back post.

SUNDAY was BattleofBritainSemi Final day, with two mouth-watering contests as Falcons hosted rivals Fortuna while Moe hosted neighbouring Monash.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN FINAL IN whatshapes to be afascinatingcontest,Fortuna and Moe will face off in the Cup Final at Burrage Reserve in Newborough at 3pm on Sunday. Finishing in second and third spots respectively in the regularseason, both sides will be full of confidence to lift the prestigious Battle of Britain Cup, which is in its 69th year. The key for Moe will be striker Connor O’Hanlon. On his day, he is arguably the best player in the competition,and has single-handedlylifted his side off the canvas on several occasions. What better stage to perform on than this Sunday’s? Fortuna are not to be discounted. They expertly took apart Falcons in the semi-final and thatinitselfwill buoy them with confidence to lifttheirfirst pieceofsenior silverware in 11 years. They will be sweating on the fitness of dynamic duo Jordan Campbell and DamonScott,and perhaps their chances rest on whether these two can get themselves fit for the game.

IT was expected that Moe would comfortably take care of Monash in the secondsemi-final of the day, butasmost people know, cup competitions often throw up asurprise or two, and anightmare almost turned into reality for the Red Devils. In the early stages it seemed Monash was up for the contest, and they soon found themselves in a position of power, being up two goals to nil, which undoubtedly shocked the home side players and supporters alike. However, Moe are aquality side, and were not to be denied as they slammed home four goals to run out comfortable 4-2 winners. They now give themselves the opportunitytowin some silverware to justify the quality sidethey have assembled over the last two years. It is curtains on atumultuous campaign for the Wolves, but their efforts at the weekend will buoy them for the 2023 season.
