EAGLES ROAST TIGERS

Traffic blizzard AS locals would have observed, after two seasons heavily impacted by COVID-19, tourists have been flocking to the mountains in the thousands. Amazing early snowfall has also buoyed the records numbers of snow bunnies, with well over 200,000 visitors hitting the slopes already - absolutely smashing the previous records of 2018 and 2019 by almost double. The numbers also solidify Mt Buller as Victoria’s most popular resort. While good for tourism businesses in the region, the high level of traffic has caused numerous

headaches for locals, never more obvious than on Saturday, July 2 when the road to Mirimbah was at a crawl from as far back as Pinnacle Valley. Numerous visitors were also turned away at the gates and unable to enter the resorts over the school holiday weekends. Chief executive officer of Mt Buller Mt Stirling Mark Bennetts said that while additional car spaces have

been added, a park’n’ride service bus was introduced on weekends, and discounts have been offered for prebooking online, many cars are still arriving without a booking and have to be turned around on busy weekends. “While skiers and boarders are increasingly used to booking in advance, many snowplayers coming for the first time just hop into their car and go, much like taking a trip to the beach,” said Mr Bennetts. “Many just arrive expecting to be able to come in, despite our efforts to

advise people to pre-book a parking space. “The queue develops from about 10:30am on Saturday when the majority of snowplay visitors start to arrive. “With support from Victoria Police, we’re having to walk the road checking if people have pre-paid, and turning around those who have not.” Mansfield Shire Council said they are working closely with resort management to try to ease the traffic burden and ensure safe road access for those who live close by.

Council called a meeting of the Traffic Liaison Committee so that local agencies, including Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort Management representatives, Victoria Police and the Department of Transport, could put in place measures to avoid the same situation happening over coming weekends. The Department of Transport visited the site to consider possible solutions, including turnaround locations. Mayor Cr James Tehan said he was pleased to see the partnership being

formed to find positive solutions for all. “This road is a VicRoads asset but it has a major impact on our communities,” he said. “We want the community at Sawmill Settlement to be able to go about their day-to-day lives safely and without disruption due to higher than usual visitation to the mountain. “In addition, when people visit the region, we want them to have a great time and not be stuck in traffic. “That’s why we’ve called everyone together to work on solving these issues.”

New Aussies welcomed FOUR local community members took the important step of becoming Australian citizens last week and were conferred at a ceremony attended by Councillors, family and friends. Reflective of our ever diversifying multicultural community, all conferees came from different countries including the United Kingdom, Taiwan, the Maldives and Philippines. Mayor Cr James Tehan officiated at the ceremony and congratulated our newest citizens on pledging their loyalty to Australia and making the commitment to being a part of Australia’s future.

“It is a real honour and a privilege for me to induct and welcome our new citizens to Australia and the Mansfield community,” said Cr Tehan. “We are proud of the growth in our multicultural community and whilst respecting their own heritage and diversity, I encourage them to embrace the Australian values and to speak up for what they believe in, as is their right as Australian citizens.” Together with the presenting of Citizenship Certificates and a native plant, welcome packs were given to the conferees on behalf of the North East Multicultural Association.

THE TAC L2P Mansfield TH program recently celebrated its tenth birthday at The Mansfield Golf Club. The TAC L2P program is a mentor program that matches learners without access to a vehicle or supervising driver to a volunteer and sponsored car to help them reach the minimum 120 hours they need to gain their P-Plates. Over the past decade, Mansfield mentors have clocked 3693 hours supervising 153 local learner drivers as part of the TAC L2P Program. Since 2008, the program has provided free, supervised driving experience to more than 15,000 young learner drivers, clocking up over 656,000 hours and supporting more than 7,400 participants to obtain their p-plates.

“The TAC L2P program not only gives young locals in the Mansfield area the opportunity to get their licence - it also makes our roads safer by providing them the skills and confidence to drive solo,” said Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes. “We would like to thank our 38 local volunteer mentors who have selflessly given their time to assist learner drivers to gain their minimum 120 hours and be safer road users.” The TAC L2P Program is a partnership between local councils and community organisations and the Department of Transport and the Transport Accident Commission. The local program is delivered by Mansfield Shire Council.

“Mansfield Shire Council recognises the important of this vital community service and has taken the lead on offering the TAC L2P Program locally,” said Mayor Cr James Tehan. “We recognise that many young people find it a challenge to get the required hours of driving experience to obtain their probationary driving licence and we are pleased to see the community coming together to achieve great outcomes through this program.” The TAC L2P Program is always looking for more volunteer mentors.

Exemption buffer drops from 12 to four weeks

Mansfield COVID case numbers rising, g, but still lower than trend

THE exemption ti period i db before f people have to test and quarantine again after contracting COVID-19 has been cut from 12 to four weeks. It’s a change that reflects emerging evidence that new Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5 can evade prior immunity gained from infection. The Victorian Government did, however, ignore health advice calling for mask mandates in schools, early childhood and retail settings. It has instead strongly recommended Victorians wear masks indoors and in crowded spaces. It comes as the State Government signalled that restrictions could be imposed on the health system if case numbers continue to rise. As of print, the Mansfield area has recorded 2823 COVID cases, with with 71 cases currently active, showing an upward trend returning after the flu also

spread d through th h the th Shire. Shi However, Mansfield’s COVID rates appear to be lower than our neighbours, despite heavy tourism traffic. Strathbogie had 72 active cases, Benalla had 90, Alpine had 101, Murrindindi 107, Indigo had 138, and Wangaratta had 230. Second dose rates hit 90 per cent in Mansfield in November last year, and third dose rates were already at 50 per cent as early as February. Hospital admissions across Victoria have risen substantially in the last two weeks from 402 in mid-June to 737 last week. In recognition of this next phase of the pandemic and as part of the government’s plan to protect the healthcare system, changes to pandemic orders and public health recommendations came into effect last week. There will be a boost in public health messaging and engagement efforts with the communi-

tty to t encourage third thi d and d ffourth th COVID-19 vaccination doses, flu vaccination, the benefits of wearing a mask and maximising ventilation indoors. The Stay Well in Winter campaign will run across TV, radio, outdoor and digital channels. It will support community leaders and business to encourage the uptake of sensible, preventative actions to keep well this winter. Positive cases are still required to isolate for seven days from the day they took their test but an additional reason to leave home has been added - to provide transport for a household member to obtain food, if essential. But local Member for Eildon, Cindy McLeish said the community deserve certainty and clarity over health measures so local communities can recover and rebuild. Ms McLeish said, “The Andrews Labor Government must

come clean and l d provide id straight t i ht answers to what advice is being received from the health department and what new mandates and restrictions are being considered.” “People are understandably nervous. “Victorians cannot move forward with the threat of more lockdowns and mandates hanging over our heads. The focus needs to be on recovering and rebuilding Victoria, not going backwards. “Only a Matthew Guy Liberals and Nationals Government will scrap Daniel Andrews lockdown laws and take a common-sense approach to COVID management that gives communities confidence.” She said the Libs will repeal the pandemic declaration, guarantee no more lockdowns, rule out new mask and vaccine mandates and not impose new work from home orders.

Journey through the Alps for ‘Children’s Our Yarning’ project By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY IN a journey expected to take some 50-plus days, Huw Kingston will ski the 600km length of the Australian Alps this winter starting from Lake Mountain. Along the way, he will ski at each of the 12 snow resorts in Victoria and NSW. His Alpine Odyssey aims to raise $50,000 for Save the Children’s ‘Our Yarning project’. Expecting to set off on July 29, leaving from Lake Mountain, Huw’s first stop will be Mt Baw Baw. From Mt Baw Baw, Huw will traverse some of the most rugged country in Australia, with his next stop being our Mt Stirling and Mt Buller (expected around August 11), then Mt Hotham, Dinner Plain, Falls Creek, Mt Buffalo, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and finally Selwyn Snow Resort. “When Huw first shared his vision we wanted to support this great journey and great cause,” Rhylla Morgan, spokesperson for Mt Buller said. “Most visitors to Mt Buller have travelled just three hours from Melbourne; Huw will have been navigating remote country for two weeks so he’ll be overdue for some warm alpine hospitality. “We’ll feed him up, have a ski and send him on his way.” As a long time ambassador for Save the Children Australia, Huw will use this 2022 winter journey for his latest fundraiser. It was a relationship that began when they were the beneficiary of Huw’s year-long 13,000km human powered circumnavigation of the Mediterranean Sea from Gallipoli back to Gallipoli in 2014-15. “Through my Alpine Odyssey, I’m hoping to raise $50,000 for Our Yarning,” Huw said. “This wonderful project pro-

LATEST TREK: Huw Kingston (left) is prepared for his latest fundraising trek - a 600km journey through Australia’s Alpine country starting at Mt Baw Baw, through Mt Buller and finishing at Canberra. duces books for Indigenous Australian children, written and illustrated by Indigenous authors and illustrators, telling their stories, stories that are so important to retain in Australian culture.” Huw expects to complete the journey in around 52 days, but in a short interview stated that he sees the most difficult part of the journey is across the Crosscut Saw - this will be his biggest challenge. “In 1997, 25 years ago this season, I completed a similar ski traverse, not skiing the resorts though. “It was tough with blizzards, rain, thick bush, navigational challenges, river crossings and distance all stymying progress.

“But of course, blue-sky days, moonlit nights, snow covered ranges and old mountain huts easily balanced the ledger. “It will be a challenge pushing my ageing body through it again a quarter of a century on,” Huw, now 59, said “but I want to celebrate the Australian snow country that has been so good to me for so long. “To celebrate not only the backcountry, but the resorts and communities that live for the white stuff, communities that have suffered much these past two years. “Also, to consider such things as climate change and other threats to our unique Alpine environment.” Huw started his trekking ad-

ventures on the Yorkshire dales, England with his uncle Dan as a teenager. Supported by The North Face and partnering with many of the resorts he will visit, the success of the Our Yarning fundraising is as important to Huw as the success of his journey. “We are very excited to share in the excitement and generosity of Huw’s Alpine Odyssey,” said Dr Julie Owen, cultural advisor for the Our Yarning project and Nurrunga/Ngarrendjeri woman. “With stories from the sea, the desert, mountains and along the river, the books capture the imagination and hearts of children to learn to read, and to love stories that portray their own lives and heritage.”

‘Living Local’ grant applications now open APPLICATIONS are open in regional Victoria for the state government’s $20 million Living Local Fund. The fund aims to support a wide range of potential projects from upgraded halls to art installations and community gardens, and is part of the state government’s Our Regions and our Suburbs: Living Local Initiative. Local councils and community organisations can apply for two types of grants: Grants between $20,000 to $200,000 will be available for infrastructure projects including new playgrounds and community gardens, splash pads, art installations and community halls upgrades Grants between $2,000 to $20,000 will also be available for local councils and community organisations to undertake minor refurbishments, buy new equipment such as kitchen appliances, laptops and audio-visual equipment. The fund aims to support a wide range of locally led projects and equipment purchases for community organisations to improve liveability. “It’s great for our regional towns to have even more of a chance to support their local communities to build stronger connections for the future,” said Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes. “The Living Local Fund is a great initiative to provide the infrastructure and equipment that our communities need, while supporting local jobs and the economy.” Projects in areas most impacted by the pandemic and projects that align with the Government’s 20-Minute neighbourhood principles will be given priority. The 20-Minute Neighbourhood principle aims to create local hubs where people can access services, like health facilities, parks and shops within a 20-minute walk from home. The Living Local Fund grant applications are now open and will close on Sunday, August 14, 2022.

Mansfield Tyre Service TOP TASTING: The new dissolved air floatation unit which was recently added to the existing infrastructure at the Mansfield Water Treatment Plant.

Mansfield water among best tasting in the state DRINKING water from Mansfield has been named as one of the top three in an annual state-wide competition for the honour of Victoria’s best tasting tap water. A sample from the Mansfield Water Treatment Plant was named as a finalist in the IXOM 2021 Best Tasting Tap Water Competition, announced on June 22 at the Water Industry Operators Association of Australia conference in Bendigo. Mansfield’s water is sourced from the Delatite River, with three off-river storages to help source and store water ahead of the region’s peak winter and summer seasons.

The plant treats on average about 800 million litres of water a year, with an average daily use per person of 227 litres per day. Judges tested samples from across the state treated by different water treatment plants for colour, clarity, odour and taste, with each state winner then competing at the national taste test championships. GVW chose Mansfield to feature in this year’s competition after a new dissolved air floatation (DAF) unit loaned by Gippsland Water was integrated with existing site treatment infrastructure. The new DAF unit supports the plant’s existing clarifier,

which uses charged beads to attract and filter dirt out of the water - a unique process well suited to the Mansfield raw water quality. It has the capacity to also increase the plant’s capacity by an additional 1.5ML per day, supporting Mansfield’s continued growth and seasonal water demands. While Melbourne Water’s sample from its Cresswell Treatment Plant in Healesville took the honours for Victoria in 2022, GVW’s Managing Director Steve Capewell said GVW was proud to see Mansfield’s sample compete against some strong contenders from across the state.

“Choosing Mansfield’s water was a great opportunity for us to recognise this partnership with Gippsland Water and the upgrades in place at Mansfield’s treatment plant, which has been really beneficial for our operators to develop new skills with new infrastructure while we work to plan for future upgrades at the Mansfield facility,” Dr Capewell said. “It’s also a testament to the skill and hard work of our operational and water quality teams, who’ve worked to integrate this new system at Mansfield, as well as teams right across our service area to ensure customers receive the best quality water.”

Haines to help Indi Refugee Support Group INDI Refugee Support Group Convenor and Mansfield local Marie Sellstrom, alongside colleagues Penny Vine (Wodonga), Kirsten Coates (Yackandandah) and Bern Fraser (Wangaratta) recently met with Indi MP Helen Haines to ask for her support for the 40 Afghan families 21 people from Indi are sponsoring. Eight of the sponsors live in Mansfield. “Many of these families are in extreme danger and five of the families have been supported to move to Islamabad due to threats of execution by the Taliban,” said Ms Sellstrom. “These people include doctors, lawyers, teachers, police officers, midwives and farmers. “I believe after Australia occupying Afghanistan for 20 years and giving the people the impression they can live normal lives we have an obligation to support them.” The group asked Dr Haines to clarify the Humanitarian Visa Process with the Minister of Home Affairs and the Immigration Minister, as the applications for sponsorship they lodged in

SUPPORT: Members of the Indi Refugee Support Group met with MP Helen Haines last week, who offered assistance through her office in a number of areas to help the group’s Afghan sponsorship program. Pictured (from left): Penny Vine, Marie Sellstrom, Kirsten Coates, MP Helen Haines, and Bernadette Fraser. August and September 2021 have received no response to date. Dr Haines said that while Afghanistan might not be in the news every day, the challenges Afghan people are facing are still very, very real. “Today I met with some incredible local Indi women who, as part of Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR), are working to bring vulnerable Afghans to safety here in Australia,” she said.

“Australians are a generous people. “When we see people in need, we instinctively want to help out. “And Penny, Marie, Kirsten and Bern embody the best of us.” Ms Sellstrom said that during the meeting Dr Haines’ office had agreed to provide support to the RAR by way of channeling refugee sponsorship requests, assisting in facilitating meetings for RAR National Executive

leaders with relevant Ministers to advance the sponsorship program, and also to liaise with the Department of Immigration on humanitarian visas lodged by the residents of Indi. “We recognise that while it may be difficult to successfully bring all the Afghan people we are sponsoring to Australia, we hope that those most at risk can arrive safely in Australia in the next few months,” said Ms Sellstrom.

Way Back Wednesday - a look back at what was making news 20 years ago this week. PLANS to strengthen Mansfield’s claim as a key gateway to the high country were unveiled last week with Mansfield Community Council preparing an ambitious funding pitch for a new $2.3 million interpretative centre. Television newsreader Jennifer Adams visited the slopes on Mt Buller, and a local man was due

to face court after an incident in Gough’s Bay last week that saw a man assaulted with a car jack. The 25 year old man from Howqua Inlet was charged with recklessly causing serious injury and a 38 year old was flown to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne with severe head wounds. In sport, Mansfield was given a football lesson on Saturday by

arch-rivals Benalla. The rampaging Saints were bigger, bolder and better than the Eagles, and emphasised their superiority with a 129 point win. And Bonnie Doon again stamped its superiority over last year’s premiers Goorambat with a strong 29 point win that saw the Dogs maintain top spot on the ladder.

With help from the big kids By JANE PIMLOTT, Deputy Principal and Learning Diversity Leader, St Mary’s Primary School THE prep students at St Mary’s had a very successful class when the year five students taught them for a lesson. They completed a colour-by-number with directions given in French. The ‘teachers’ (older students) translated the instructions for their ‘students’ and they shined as they guided them through the worksheet with a focus on quality of work. The standard of the prep work was a credit to their young ‘teachers’. The preps thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with the older children and the year fives took their responsibility most seriously and found the experience rewarding.

High Country, Lakes and Rivers General COVID-19 advice from the Victorian Government - STAY WELL IN WINTER The Victorian Government has provided advice to inform Victorians how to protect themselves and their families this winter and actions to be implemented to support business to keep customers and workers safe and their doors open. A new wave of high-risk COVID-19 infections is being driven by the new Omicron subvariants. This will lead to a rapid increase in the number of people with COVID-19. Some of these people will be seriously ill and require hospitalisation. Some may even die from the infection. Aged care providers are taking steps to minimise the risks to persons under their care. Get tested as soon as you develop any symptoms. If you test positive you must isolate for 7 days and tell your contacts you have COVID. If you test negative you should stay home until your symptoms have cleared. A Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) is the quickest, easiest way for most people to test if they have COVID. Victorians who are more at risk from COVID may be eligible for medicines that reduce severe illness if taken soon after symptoms appear. You need a positive RAT or PCR test to get these medicines. You are eligible if you are over 70 years of age.You may be eligible if you are over 50 with other health problems, or over 30 and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander with other health problems, or if you have a severe disability or are immune-compromised. If you have a positive test and are eligible for COVID medicines, speak with your GP.

Being up to date with vaccination is . your best protection against severe illness. Book your third dose or winter fourth dose with your GP or pharmacist now. You can get your flu vaccination and COVID booster at the same time.

For the love a dog PET lovers in the Mansfield district know just how precious a family puppy can become and the need to save them when they are ill or injured. With a family connection to Mansfield, Daisy Valerio last week launched a ‘gofundme’ appeal to save their family dog Koda, the Kelpie. “Koda’s life is changing very quickly right now, he will be adapting to life with three legs over the next few months,” Daisy wrote on the gofundme page. “My strong, caring family is absolutely devastated and will do everything they can to support and love Koda every step of the way. “My parents welcomed Koda into our family only a few months ago. “We lost our two beautiful dogs, Tashi and Snowy over the lockdowns and home was feeling very empty without a dog. “Mum and Dad met Koda when he was a puppy and knew immediately that he was meant to be part of the family,” she said. “Koda is a pure-bred Kelpie and the most energetic ball of sunshine you will ever meet. “He has the largest ears ever seen on a dog and the biggest grin. “He has grown into an integral part of the family, stealing everyone’s hearts and beds.”

My strong, caring family is absolutely devastated and will do everything they can to support and love Koda every step of the way. - DAISY VALERIO Koda had a claw growing where it shouldn’t be, and visited the vet to have it removed. His operation went well but his wound, unfortunately, became infected. Upon returning to the vet they discovered an extremely rare bacteria which had found its way into Koda’s wound. After a week of spending every day at the vet, on Friday (July 8) the family received the news that they had finally found an antibiotic that seemed to be helping. “The relief was immense,” Daisy said. “On Sunday Koda visited the vet for a check-up and that is when the heartbreaking news was delivered. “Koda was not doing well. “The antibiotic was working, however the damage caused by the bacteria was so severe and in order to stop the infection spreading Koda’s leg was amputated.” After consulting numerous specialists and experts on the matter on Monday evening

(July 11) the news was devastatingly confirmed. The next day Koda underwent his big operation. Life will be a bit different from now on in for him. “I have created this page to help my parents pay for the immense amount of treatment, the big operation and the care Koda will require after his procedure,” Daisy said. “My parents are beautiful, strong, caring people and regardless of their financial situation they will always do what is best for their animals. “Every little bit helps in rebuilding and supporting this little life. “Thank you so much for your support, and I am sure if Koda were to meet you, you would be absolutely covered in sloppy puppy kisses of gratitude.” At the time of writing this article in support of Koda and his family almost $700 had been raised from a target of $3000. To donate to save Koda go to https://gofund.me/4d624cd7.

LOVABLE POOCH: Koda the Kelpie’s parents need help in paying for vet surgery and treatments - can you help?

Goughs Bay streetscape works

GATHER: The new Gadhaba Gathering Place at the Mansfield Station Precinct.

New outdoor areas open Two spots s ots o open, en more on the way

THE ampitheatre on the east end of the High Street median strip and the Gadhaba Gathering Place at the Mansfield Station Precinct have both had construction fencing removed and are now available for the community to use. Mayor Cr James Tehan said the projects were already creating activity in Mansfield’s outdoor spaces. “Over the busy weekend, many people were taking ad-

vantage of the extra seating to enjoy the sunshine,” said Cr Tehan. “The Gadhaba Gathering Place was ready for NAIDOC Week celebrations and complements the Station Precinct and Great Victorian Rail Trail. “There are many great projects that will continue to be delivered over coming months, including new seating on the way for the High Street median strip, the Visi-

tor Information Centre and the Mansfield Botanic Park, a bicycle repair station at the trailhead of the Rail Trail and sound equipment for the median strip,” said Cr Tehan. Mansfield Shire Council delivered these projects with funding from the Victorian Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund. Construction was completed by local company Tectonic Civil.

TAKE A SEAT: The new ampitheatre on the east end of the High Street median strip.

GOUGHS Bay will have a revamped streetscape with new and improved facilities for locals and visitors to enjoy following a council allocation of $50,000 in the 2021/2022 budget. The streetscape will include an open space area at the intersection of Bayside Boulevard and Main Street with a shelter, free BBQ and picnic seating. Landscaping, drainage works and selective scrub removal will be undertaken, improving views to Lake Eildon and transforming the space into a more attractive and functional area for community use. In addition to seating in the open space, new durable and ecofriendly picnic settings will be installed in the coming weeks at the General Store and on the foreshore opposite the caravan park. A draft project plan was developed earlier this year in consultation with the Goughs Bay Progress Association who advocated for works that would improve both the streetscape and address the unique needs of the Goughs Bay community. Wider consultation and feedback on the draft plan identified that picnic tables and the enhancement of open space was important to add amenity and to beautify the area. Mayor Cr James Tehan said the project was underpinned by council’s town planning policies and a commitment to the beauty and amenity of public areas. “As part of our commitment to vibrant liveability within the shire, we have worked closely with the Goughs Bay community to develop the plan and have considered the feedback from the many people who visit and stay at Goughs Bay to determine the final components to be included in the project,” Mayor Cr Tehan. “These infrastructure improvements will meet the demands of the growing community and enhance the visitor experience in the longer term.” Council said they will continue to work closely with the Goughs Bay community who will assist with labour to install the components of the project. All works are anticipated to be completed later this year ready for the community and visitors ahead of the expected increase in visitation over the summer period.

Ladder chains could be on the way out THE Victorian Alpine Resorts are governed by regulations covering things like entry fees, parking, tobogganing, camping, aircraft, horses and wheel chains. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) undertook a review of these regulations in 2019/20, which resulted in changes to wheel chains. The previous regulations stated that wheel chains had to be “suitable to be properly fitted to that vehicle”. From November 2020, the new regulations state that wheel chains must be “chains in a diamond pattern that are designed to be fitted to wheels of a motor vehicle to increase the directional stability and traction of the wheels of that vehicle on a road affected by snow or ice.”

However, these changes are not yet being enforced, as Mt Buller & Mt Stirling CEO Mark Bennetts explained. “We met with DELWP and Victoria Police in early 2021 to discuss how this new regulation could be implemented in an orderly manner, suggesting that a notice period of 2-3 years would provide hire outlets, retailers and individuals with time to arrange supplies and make the change. “This was agreed, and ladder chains continued to be acceptable during the COVID impacted 2021 snow season. “We understand that since then, DELWP, Victoria Police and Road Safety Victoria have learned about the widespread use of ladder chains, and of non-diamond pattern and hybrid pattern solu-

tions emerging from Europe and North America which also provide superior grip to ladder chains. “We’ve had calls from importers and hire outlets seeking clarity on the rules so that they can ensure their future purchases will be compliant with the regulations,” Mark said. “So it will be very helpful to everyone in the alpine sector to have this resolved soon, because hire outlets and retailers are already planning orders for delivery before the 2023 snow season”. At this stage the Department of Transport has advised there are no immediate plans to amend the Road Safety Road Rules 2017 to deal with wheel chains, meaning the implementation of a prohibition on ladder chains may be delayed past the commencement of the 2023 snow season.

SNOW TIME: Out enjoying the Mt Buller snow last week were (from left) Binky Kfouri, Noel Landry, Richard Leder, Joel Dixon, Helen Haines, Mark Bennetts and Nick Whitby.

Haines visits Buller for better views

INDEPENDENT Helen Haines (MHR, Indi) visited Mount Buller on Friday, July 8, speaking to representatives as part of her advocacy for all the alpine resorts in North East Victoria. In 2019 alone, the alpine resorts had a total economic output of $2.5 billion and more than 10,000 jobs, making them a significant industry in the electorate. “The last two years have been incredibly tough for the alpine resorts,” Dr Haines said. “After the Black Summer bushfires came COVID, and two interrupted seasons of basically no business at all. “But this year is a different story. “It is fantastic to see that the snow has been falling and people have arrived in droves.” Dr Haines consulted with locals, hearing about the issues with worker shortages, as well as issues with staff accommodation and the higher costs associated with

doing business. “While it is great to see the slopes are busy, I know this season has its own challenges and I want everyone involved with mountain tourism to know I appreciate everything you are doing and the complexities you are dealing with,” Dr Haines said. Dr Haines met with Mark Bennetts, chief executive officer at Mount Buller and Mount Stirling Alpine Resort; Richard Leder, deputy chair of the Mount Buller Resort Management Board; Nick Whitby, managing director of Buller Ski Lifts and president of the Alpine Resort Industry Group; Noel Landry, general manager of Buller Ski Lifts; Joel Dixon, president of the Mount Buller Ratepayers Association; and Binky Kfouri, member of the Mount Buller Ratepayers Association and Marketing Committee. “We discussed issues they are tackling, like phone and NBN connectivity, insur-

ance, maintaining medical services, and the support needed to expand the opportunities for the businesses that form this important industry,” Dr Haines said. “It was insightful and I’m looking forward to taking the ideas we discussed to the government. “I am advocating for investment in the alpine resorts, to make it easier and safer to do business and to expand opportunities for green season tourism.” Dr Haines also dusted off her ski gear and hopped on the slopes, joining with thousands of tourists enjoying what Buller has to offer. “It was so wonderful to see people enjoying the great outdoors and the diverse range of families, many of who were there for the first time,” Dr Haines said. “I am committed to working with the alpine resorts and all the businesses that are part of this industry to represent your interests in Canberra.”

Haines heads to Pacific to tackle local labour shortage HELEN Haines will travel to Suva in Fiji to meet with the Pacific Island Forum as part of a parliamentary delegation focused on agricultural labour shortages, and Australia’s national security interests in the Pacific. The Independent Member for Indi will be joined by members of all the major political parties and crossbench and is funded by Save The Children Australia. Dr Haines said she accepted the invitation to attend so she could advocate for stronger workforce partnerships between Pacific nations and the Australian agricultural sector. “Australian farmers have been struggling with workforce shortages for years -

the pandemic simply made things worse,” she said. “This is probably the number one challenge facing our farmers right now.” Dr Haines, who grew up on a dairy farm and still runs beef cattle today, has been consulting with local farmers about their workforce needs over recent weeks and said farmers are struggling right across the electorate. “I have heard from farmers who lost 80 per cent of their crop last year simply because they couldn’t find anyone to pick it,” she said. And they’re bracing for the same this year. It’s one thing in a pandemic, but we are nearly three years into this now and the borders are

open - it’s time for Governments to step up.” Dr Haines criticised the new Government’s policies on agricultural visas, saying the decision to scrap the former Government’s plan for a dedicated visa for farm workers from South East Asia was a backwards step. Labor’s policy will reduce the number of countries from which agricultural workers could come to Australia from, a move Dr Haines said is unhelpful. “It was hugely disappointing to see Labor walk away from the Agricultural Visa. “We could have been striking deals with countries like Thailand and Malaysia right now, but instead we are back to the drawing board.

“It’s a real mistake and I have urged the Agriculture Minister to reverse that decision. “It is more important than ever that a rural Independent like me is there to put forward the sensible policies on topics like agricultural labour.” Dr Haines said her focus was now on enhancing the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility Scheme to make sure it delivers the labour force needed for local farmers. “We have some major harvests coming up in a few months. “Citrus is happening as we speak. “Pumpkins will happen in October. “Hops start in December.

“Cherries not far behind. “If we don’t have the workforce in place for these harvests, then the Government will have serious questions to answer. “I am joining with farmers to call for immediate action to expedite Pacific Island workers to come to Australia, and enough flexibility in those visa arrangements to enable people to work shorter harvests across multiple farms.” “And longer term, we need to be looking to expand eligibility for these visas beyond the Pacific. “If there are workers in South East Asia, or India, our South America, who want to work on Aussie farms, and farmers here who want

them, why do we not enable that to happen? “It’s pretty basic stuff.” Dr Haines will also visit the Australia Pacific Training Coalition and will learn about opportunities for the aged care workforce to be expanded here in Indi with workers from the Pacific. “It’s not just agricultural employers who are struggling to find workers, but many other sectors as well. “I will be making every effort to make connections to help employers back in Indi through this trip.” The delegation will be briefed on Australia’s aid to the Pacific, visit local leaders and speak to aspiring female politicians in Fiji.

Make winter better - heat the homeless

HELP US WARM UP: Homeless people can be kept warmer this winter when you donate unwanted ski jackets and clothing.

KEEPING the homeless warm this winter is the aim of the latest charity collection from Heat the Homeless. Started by Peter Forras, son of Ernst Forras, the charity collects unwanted and clean ski jackets which are then distributed to the homeless through shelters. On Mt Buller Peter Forras is collecting along with the Arlberg Hotel and in Mansfield McGrath Real Estate and Outdoor Pleasure are the collection points. “We urge you to donate your pre-loved, warm, clean, waterproof jackets to members of our community experiencing homelessness, sleeping rough and needing warmth. “Only one rule:if you wouldn’t wear

it, please don’t give it.” Kate McDougall of McGrath Real Estate said this is the second year the appeal has run and McGrath’s alone sent off some 40-50 good ski jackets. “These were first sent to the Wangaratta Homeless Shelter and any excess they had then went on to Melbourne. “Over all Australia there is estimated to be some 116,000 people classified as homeless that need warmer clothing and shelter this winter,” she said. “This is a great initiative.” Unwanted ski jackets can be left at McGrath Real Estate, Highett Street or Outdoor Pleasure, High Street in Mansfield or at the Arlberg Hotel on Mt Buller.

Ice and snow; take it slow RoadSafe North East p provides Top p 10 Tips p for alpine p driving g

THERE’S so much to love about a trip to Mt Buller or Mt Stirling, but for first-timers and those not experienced in winter alpine driving, there can also be some anxiety around getting there. Community road safety organisation, RoadSafe North East has put together a Top 10 Tips for alpine driving, to ensure regional Victorians can safely access all the snow-fun, with confidence and care. “With this weekend and the following week’s forecast for snow showers and icy road conditions in the Alpine region, many local drivers and visitors to the region will be heading to the ski resorts, some for the first time,” said John Weinert, chief executive of RoadSafe North East. “Whether it’s for a day-trip or to stay and play, we are appealing to drivers to follow some simple basic rules, if driving in icy and snowy conditions. “We are working in partnership with Victoria Police, to educate drivers about the need for careful, cautious driving in alpine areas and how they can minimise the risk, with concentration and patience. “It’s not about instilling fear in drivers, especially first-time visitors to the snow, but equipping them with the skills and confidence to get there safely

TOP 10 TIPS FOR SNOWSMART DRIVING

1 2 3

Get up to date road conditions before your trip visiting VicTraffic or downloading the VicTraffic app Always carry chains. Resort authorities will advise when and where to fit chains. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration on snow or ice. Braking takes longer in icy conditions so always allow for plenty of room between you and the car in front. If you hit ice, remain calm and apply the brakes gently to slowly regain traction. Take corners very slowly and steer gently and steadily to avoid skidding. Never brake if the vehicle skids, instead, ease off the accelerator and steer slightly into the direction of the skid until you gain control. If stuck in snow, do not spin the wheels or rev the vehicle, as this will dig the vehicle further in. Instead, put the vehicle into as high a gear as possible and slowly manoeuvre the vehicle lightly forwards and backwards to gently creep out. Make sure you clear all snow from your vehicle - you can be hit with a hefty fine and loss of demerit points for driving with snow on the roof of your vehicle. It is a danger and a hazard. Carry an ice-scraper to clear the bulk of the snow, ice and frost, and use the vehicle’s heater and fan in conjunction with the air conditioner. Engage low gear when you drive down a mountain. Drive with your headlights on low beam during daytime to improve your visibility to other road users. Make sure you turn on your vehicle’s fog or head lights when the weather turns bad. Do not use Cruise Control. When driving in snow, it is important that you have full control over your vehicle at all times. Using cruise control can mean that you are less able to quickly react to poor road conditions and situations. And if your vehicle skids while on cruise control, it will likely continue accelerating, which can make the situation worse.

4 5 6 7 TAKE IT SLOW: RoadSafe North East has put together a Top 10 Tips for alpine driving, which includes always carrying chains, to ensure regional Victorians can safely access all the snow-fun. and stress-free, if road conditions do deteriorate. RoadSafe North East Variable Messaging Sign (VMS) will be on display in the region with the rolling messages: ICE & SNOW. PLEASE DRIVE SLOW and BE SNOWSAFE. CARRY CHAINS. SLOW DOWN. Mr Weinert added that winter driving can be a particularly challenging time for drivers, even before they enter higher alpine areas.

Fundraising success THE Bindaree Auxiliary fundraiser held at the Uniting Church Hall Friday July 1, was a great success. A floral art demonstration was given by Christine Leatham, and along with her helpful tips. the arrangement was painted in watercolour by local artist Jennifer Gibney. The painting - first prize in the raffle - was won by Val Doyle, with the floral arrangement won by Margaret Adcock. Devonshire tea was served whilst the talented artist painted. All funds raised go towards assisting Bindaree residents. “Many thanks to all who contributed,” said Lyn Wren, president of the Bindaree Auxiliary.

“You cannot see black ice,” he said. “It generally forms at night time, in the early mornings or on sections of the roads that haven’t been exposed to sunlight, like under tree cover. “If you hit black ice, you will have little or no control over your vehicle. “Avoid accelerating, braking hard or turning the steering wheel quickly.

“If you try to struggle against the ice by braking hard or steering in the opposite direction, you increase the risk of spinning out. “It’s best to remain calm and apply the brakes gently to slowly regain traction. “We are asking drivers to please slow down in areas known for black ice. “Signs will alert drivers to areas where it’s likely to be found,” Mr Weinert concluded.

Heavier rain chance to return in spring THE Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has predicted a return of La Nina weather conditions this spring and summer, bringing with it higher than average rainfall. Rainfall in Mansfield has been moderate in recent months, at a time the east coast of Australia has been severely battered by heavy rainfall. A number of international forecast models suggest that La Nina may return later this year, most likely during spring. This outlook shows that La Nina is a 60 per cent chance of occurring in the Southern Hemisphere’s spring and early summer. This is due to the persistence of some La Ninalike signals as well as the model outlooks. There is around a 50 per cent chance of La Nina forming later in 2022, and this is close to double the normal likelihood.

Kealy selected following Ryan exit THE Victorian Nationals’ party room has selected Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy, as their new deputy leader. She replaces Euroa MP Steph Ryan who announced she was stepping down last week. Leader of The Nationals Peter Walsh congratulated Ms Kealy on her selection, adding the new leadership team will waste no time getting to work ahead of the November State Election. “Emma has a strong reputation as a dedicated local advocate who will go above and beyond to secure the very best for the people of Lowan, which is an energy I know she’ll bring as Deputy Leader,” Mr Walsh said. “As Shadow Minister, Emma has played a crucial role in leading the Liberals’ and Nationals’ response to support Victorians to re-

HELP WANTED: FFMVic is looking for local people.

Local firefighters wanted FOREST Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) is looking for people to protect local communities during the upcoming bushfire season. This summer, project firefighters will be based in Mansfield, as well as Alexandra, Marysville, Benalla, Wangaratta, Yarrawonga, Nathalia, Beechworth, Bright, Whitfield and Mount Beauty, among others. FFMVic Hume Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Aaron Kennedy, said applications were now open for 23 project firefighter positions at sites across the region. “These fixed term positions are a fantastic opportunity for people from all walks of life who are physically fit, to get out in the bush, protect Victoria from bushfires and help to maintain

public land across the state,” Mr Kennedy said. “The recruits will not only respond to bushfires and other emergencies, they’ll also be conducting planned burns, slashing, track clearing, weed spraying and other land management activities.” The range of project firefighter roles include general firefighters, fire support officers and rappel firefighters. Rappel firefighters undertake specialist firefighting roles, rappelling from helicopters to respond to fires in remote forest areas. Fire support officers assist with administrative tasks which support fire response and fuel management works. The new recruits will add to Victoria’s

existing 1100 forest firefighters who are supported by more than 2000 permanent staff who can be called on to perform emergency roles when required. Across the state 20 roles are solely dedicated for Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people reflecting the government’s commitment to a diverse workforce while also supporting Traditional Owners to care for Country and lead cultural burning. Successful recruits will be fully trained and get the opportunity to work with experienced staff from a range of emergency management agencies. A driver licence and medical and fitness assessments are required. To apply visit jobs.careers.vic.gov.au/ pff or call 136 186.

WHAT’S ON

National Tree Day back again WITH its roots dating back to 1996, National Tree Day has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature protection event, striving to see over one million new trees, shrubs and grasses planted each year. On Sunday July 31, from 10am to12pm, Up2Us Landcare and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) are inviting the community to come and celebrate National Tree Day, for a sausage sizzle and tree planting session. The event will take place at Orchard Campground in the Delatite Arm Reserve. In partnership, Up2Us and DELWP are excited to provide a wonderful planting and social event for the people of the Mansfield region. Our aim is to bring people together, connect with nature and share our love of the natural environment with the wider community. Funds received through the Bushbank Program (www. environment.vic.gov.au/ bushbank) will allow DELWP to complete revegetation works at the Delatite Arm Reserve, along the foreshore of Lake Eildon. A benefit of completing revegetation works is to increase biodiversity and carbon sequestration. The previous two years saw National Tree Day activities modified to a contactless plant pick-up for planting in the garden, rather than a public planting.

Up2Us Landcare Facilitator, Kim Magnay is looking forward to another successful day and said that the community getting together to enhance the natural landscape on National Tree Day is heartwarming. Due to the popularity of the indigenous garden plants from previous National Tree Day events, Up2Us are again offering small indigenous, garden friendly plants to attendees on the day, however numbers are limited so it will be first in best dressed. Indigenous plants are native plants that grow naturally in the Mansfield region and are often more tolerant to the region’s cold winters and dry summers. By planting indigenous ground flora species not only adds aesthetic value to urban gardens, but improves biodiversity, offering a food source to native bees and other pollinating insects such as butterflies and moths as well as native birds. This event is a family friendly event, we are excited to welcome new residents and families to help celebrate the amazing place we live and to help enhance it. The previous two years have restricted our ability to get out on National Tree Day and we are so excited to be able to once more plant trees with our friends and neighbours. For further information on the day please contact landcare2@up2us.org.au or 03 5779 1593

Calling all Mertonians to address local needs MERTON residents (and any other interested people) are being invited to attend a meeting this month on Saturday, July 30, to specifically identify and address the needs of Merton residents - both now and into the future. Creation of a relevant and vibrant ‘Merton Vision For Community’ is high on the agenda. Attendees are being asked to bring along any ideas - large or small - relating to social, educational, sporting , recreational, road safety or commercial servic-

es infrastructure topics. “The long term aim is to build a more connected Merton Community, so that it will feel perhaps less marginalized and become an even more resilient, inclusive and cohesive society,” said Jim Sayers, chair of Merton Recreation and Memorial Hall Reserves committee. Interested residents are invited to meet with local Mansfield councillors (Rohan Webb, Paul Sladdin and Steve Rabie), Resilience Development Project Officer

(Amanda Hudson), Coordinator for Community and Economic Development (Tanya Tabone) and the Committee of Management Merton Recreation and Memorial Hall Reserves. The gathering will start with complimentary drinks at 5pm and continue with discussions, brainstorming and community input activities, to create a viable and inclusive action plan for the Merton community. “The Merton community is primed and ready to advance into

the next stage of its evolution,” said Mr Sayers. “A rapid, recent change in the district’s demography has resulted in a desire for improvements in social, wellbeing and physical development.” For those unable to attend, you can still share your thoughts and ideas by emailing mertonreserves@gmail.com or alternatively sending a written submission to Merton Reserves Committee C/o Merton Post Office, Merton 3715.

North East regional news in brief Alpine council approves 90 acre development A MAJOR Bright housing development plan was approved by the Alpine Shire Council at their monthly meeting last week. Council unanimously approved the ‘Bright Western Gateway Development Plan’ to develop 35.01 hectares of land on the western side of Bright. It is about 10 times larger than any residential development in or around Bright. According to council, the development plan is only a high-level proposal, and detailed design is still required for areas such as drainage, highway and landscaping. However, the development plan predicts between 283 and 386 lots may be created, depending on lot sizes. Detailed design will be determined at the planning permit stage once the development plan has been applied to the site, but the plan stipulates that a range of lot sizes and functional open space will be provided. Councillors stressed that the current plan is a broad design proposal to ensure the development fits with constraints around safety, infrastructure and the local landscape - it does not include details such as subdivisions and lot sizes. The land was purchased by Melbourne developers the Deague family in February 2022. The total block of land occupies 41.39 hectares on the western side of Bright, bordered by Great Alpine Road to the north and north-east,

Avenel farmer fined $40k AN Avenel farmer has been fined $40,000 after pleading guilty to 34 charges of animal cruelty. Court heard the charges related to a failure to provide supervision and proper and sufficient feed to about 1500 sheep by an Avenel farmer. The court also imposed a conditional order with monitoring for three years. Agriculture Victoria officers first attended the property in early June 2019 in response to a complaint. They found many dead sheep, most were pregnant or had recently lambed.

Officers attended on five further occasions and issued several ‘notices to comply’. Over this time, 25 sheep had to be humanely euthanised to prevent further pain and suffering and they found 236 dead sheep. Agriculture Victoria compliance manager Daniel Bode said despite receiving numerous notices to comply, the accused took insufficient action.

Bail after shotgun scare A WANGARATTA teenager who was located in possession of a sawn-off shotgun with which he threatened to commit self harm has been granted bail following a promise to seek mental health treatment in Canberra.

The 18-year-old appeared a court flanked by custody officers following his arrest in the early hours of last Friday morning after he fled an address in an alleged ‘druginduced delusional state’ around 5:30am. Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Stuart Pritchard said police were called to a Wangaratta address, searching the backyard for the man before locating the firearm near the rear door of the premises. A number of shotgun pellets were also found within the home’s main bedroom and the back seat of the accused’s vehicle. LSC Pritchard said police were concerned about the accused’s association with drugs, which also saw him charged and bailed earlier this year after being found in possession of 93.4 grams

of cannabis while driving erratically on his learner’s permit. He said police were unsure of how he came into possession of the firearm and ammunition, and expressed concerns over the potential he may be able to source further weapons in the future. The accused was in possession of a ticket to visit his father in Canberra at the time of his arrest, an idea defence counsel Geoff Clancy endorsed, expressing a desire to separate his client from his associates in Wangaratta. Magistrate Peter Dunn saw fit to grant bail under conditions the accused stay with his father in Canberra and commit no further family violence offending before his August 1 return date, including threats on his own life.

ABOUT 35 attended the unveiling of a mosaic dedicated to Myrtleford local Steve Dale - ‘the boxing butcher’ - for his stellar boxing career and his work in the community. The mosaic was a surprise for Mr Dale, who was expecting to go out for lunch, but instead was taken by his wife to Dale’s Butchery on Standish Street around 11am, where a crowd had gathered, including family, friends and community members. Organiser Mal Wilson thanked Mr Dale for his steadfast commitment to teaching boxing for local kids every Monday night with his friend Kevin Grealy at the Myrtleford Showgrounds. “Every Monday night since I’ve been here Steve Dale is up there skipping away no matter what,” he said. “It just hit me in the heart to think this bloke here and his mates every Monday night, without any recognition, they’re up there teaching the kids in this little town that there’s a better life than just doing nothing and I take my hat off to Steve for doing that. “He was a champion as a boxer. “He boxed 19 consecutive fights at Festival Hall on a show called TV Ringside some great champions came out of that place.” The work was created by local anonymous art duo the Crackpots, who are responsible for over 100 mosaics dotted throughout Myrtleford.

Tom Wills (1835-80) was perhaps one of Australia’s ﬁrst sporting heroes. While at boarding school in England, he became a notable amateur cricketer. Later in Australia, he coached a team of Aboriginal cricketers that toured England in 1868, long before the ﬁrst Caucasian cricket team did.

YEAR-ROUND Aquatic Facility for Mansfield (YAFM) are encouraging community members to have their say, addressing the need for improved aquatic leisure activities and facilities in the Shire. The proposal to develop an indoor aquatic leisure facility in Mansfield has a lengthy history with YAFM formed in 2001 to promote and progress the proposal. Whilst a number of studies have been completed over this time, a facility is yet to be developed. Recently YAFM entered into a collaborative agreement with Council, working together to progress the indoor aquatic leisure facility proposal. “YAFM have Council’s full support for this significant community-led project and we are pleased to see that the planning is going ahead at full speed,” said Mayor Cr James Tehan. “There has been a longstanding interest in the concept for an aquatic facility and this study will identify what the future community needs are. It’s important that everyone contributes via one of the many options available. We are grateful for the work that YAFM are doing to address the growing need for an aquatic facility for the whole community With support from

Council, YAFM has engaged Planning for Communities and Sport and Leisure Solutions to conduct a study about the need for improved aquatic leisure activities and facilities in Mansfield. The purpose of this study is to assess community need and demand for an aquatic leisure facility in Mansfield, identify potential aquatic leisure activities and additional facilities that may be needed, and explore options for providing aquatic leisure opportunities to the Mansfield Shire community. “There has been a longstanding interest in the concept for an aquatic facility and this study will identify what the future community needs are,” said Mayor Tehan. “It’s important that everyone contributes via one of the many options available. “We are grateful for the work that YAFM are doing to address the growing need for an aquatic facility for the whole community.” Your opinions will help guide the direction of the project. As part of the study, YAFM would like to hear from you about:  Your current experience of accessing aquatic leisure activities and facilities  Activities you would like to be able to access if

an indoor aquatic leisure centre was developed in Mansfield  Why it is important for you to have access to indoor aquatic leisure activities and facilities in Mansfield  How supportive you are of having better access to indoor aquatic leisure activities and facilities in Mansfield During July and August there will be several ways to contribute your thoughts. An online survey will be available accessed via a QR code or link https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/YearRoundAquaticFacility. Alternatively, complete one of the YAFM postcards in locations around the Shire. Or speak to YAFM members at a Drop-in-and-Chat session at the Mansfield Farmers’ Market on July 23, or on the median strip opposite the IGA on August 13. Answer a few simple questions on the Engage Mansfield platform or contribute via a community group or organisation. “For session dates and further details keep an eye out for our posters, Courier ads and our Facebook page Year-Round Aquatic Facility Mansfield,” said YAFM president, Barb Jones. “We need your responses to progress this inclusive project that will enhance our health and well-being and improve our liveability.”

Spiritual counselling and healing HOMEOPATH Lily Kennedy offers her clients a natural and effective way of dealing with their health issues without the side effects potentially created by pharmaceutical medicines. “Homeopathy is a 200 year old scientific system of natural medicine that is non-toxic, side effect free and stimulates the body to heal itself, which strengthens the immune system at the same time,” Lily explained. “This makes it particularly good for pregnant women and infants and children.” In addition to homeopathy, Lily also offers Hahnemann healing and spiritual counselling

which complements her homeopathic treatments. “Hahnemann healing is a form of specialised emotional healing developed by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy,” Lily said. “The basis is that a large percentage of all physical illness is caused by unresolved emotional issues. “Through the healing sessions, these emotional blockages are brought to the surface and the client can then be assisted to work through these emotions using spiritual counselling as well as homeopathic treatment.”

Lily has found her calling with homeopathy, healing and counselling. “My main focus is helping people to sort out their emotional and physical health issues depending on what is needed for that client, and I work with them for as long or as short as necessary to get them to a place where they can positively move forward with their life and most importantly feel in control of themselves and their health.” To make a time to visit Lily or for more information, call 0409 381 128 or visit www. resonatehomeopathy.com.au.

Get into yoga this winter Boost immunity, clear congestion and warms up those muscles and joints By CHRIS JOHNSTONE, YOGA IN THE ancient practise of yoga develops balance, strength and flexibility of the body and mind. Yoga is important in a time with excessive screen use and a general lack of movement in our daily lives. Yoga poses include forward and back bending, lateral bending and twisting to promote a healthy spine. Although it may be a challenge to commit to yoga during winter, the practise boosts immunity, clears congestion and warms up muscles and joints. At YOGA IN, we are passionate about our students gaining the benefits of a regular practise and therefore have made our prices aﬀordable and the classes small and friendly.

YOGA IN has classes every day of the week and includes yin, hatha and vinyasa flow, with regular workshops throughout the year. At YOGA IN, we encourage all ages and genders to take part. With a team of dedicated and experienced instructors, you are bound to find a regular practise with a style and teacher that suits you. Beginners are encouraged and supported. Please contact one of the instructors listed on the YOGA IN advertisement to make a booking or find out more.

 WARM UP: Try

out yoga this winter to get you feeling and staying better.

RURAL NEWS

Multiple factors lead to reduced wine grape crush in 2022 THE 2022 Australian wine grape crush is estimated to be 1.73 million tonnes, down 13.5 percent on the record rush of 2021 and two per cent below the 10 year average, according to the National Vintage Report 2022 released by Wine Australia this week. The total estimated value of the 2022 crush was $1.21 billion, down 22 per cent compared with the record 2021 value, but $60 million more than in 2020 and $8 million higher than in 2018, a year when the crush was two per cent larger. The value reduction compared with 2021 was a result of the reduced crush, combined with a reduction in the overall average value. The reduction in crush in the year is the equivalent of approximately 190 million litres of wine - more than the most Australia ever exported to mainland China in a 12 month period. Wine Australia manager market insights Peter Bailey said the reduction in volume was likely to be the result of a combination of seasonal influences and adjustments made by winemakers to market conditions and winery production capacity limitations. “After a record high vintage in 2021, a lower yield in general was expected due to reduced cropping potential,” he said. “This natural variation was compounded by a number of significant seasonal effects - in particular heavy widespread spring and summer rainfall across much of the eastern half of Australia and a number of significant hailstorms. “Apart from seasonal effects, the 2021-22 season was challenging as a result of winery production capacity limitations going into vintage following the record harvest in 2021, compounded by reduced exports to mainland China and severe shipping disruptions that caused delays and escalated costs. “Lack of winery production capacity, together with reduced exports and softening prices for red wines, may have resulted in wineries and growers reducing their overall production and/or intake of grapes - particularly red varieties. “However, it isn’t possible for our survey to separate normal seasonal fluctuations in yield and weather events from active strategies to reduce intake.” Red wine grapes made up to 55 per cent of the crush, with white wine grapes making up 45 per cent. Mr Bailey said demand is shifting back in favour of white varieties, with the average value for white wine grapes having increased every year since 2014; in 2022 the highest since 2008. The average value across all purchases in 2022 decreased by 10 per cent to $630 per tonne. This decrease was made up of a 15 per cent decline in the average value of red wine grape varieties to $707 per tonne, partly offset by a two per cent increase in the average value of white wine grape varieties to $548 per tonne. “Experiences differed across the country but there is no doubt that some grape growers have had a very tough year, with seasonal conditions and profitability hit by the significant reduction in red wine grape prices combined with escalating costs including fuel, fertiliser and energy,” Mr Bailey said. “Looking forward from this vintage, growing demand through the joint strategies of market intensification and market diversification is the key to ensuring sustainable wine grape prices.” Mr Bailey said data shows there is demand for Australian wine in major export markets such as the United States and United Kingdom, particularly in premium price segments, while there is also growth in a range of Asian markets including Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan.

Ewe are one in a million

KEEPING WATCH: Proud mum Mary watches over her lambs. PHOTOS: Karen Ritchens

orth East couple Karen and David Ritchens are celebrating a one in a million event with their threeyear-old First Cross Dorset/ Merino ewe Mary giving birth to quintuplets last Saturday. The odds of a ewe producing five live lambs is extremely rare, as is all of them surviving afterwards, however Daisy, Rosie, Bob, and Fred are all healthy and enjoying the frosty winter mornings, sunny days and the rain on the farm. One of the lambs (Tammy) was lost on Tuesday with Karen believing that Mary may have laid down on her and she didn’t survive. “I have helped ewes with their births many times right from when I was a child and I have also raised their lamb when things went wrong for the ewe so experience helps, but they don’t all make it all the time,” Karen said. “This is only Mary’s second lambing after she had a single lamb last year and we certainly weren’t expecting anything more than twins this time. “The ram had been with four separate ewes but must have concentrated all his efforts on this one as the others haven’t had any lambs yet,” Karen laughed. “But we’ll just have to wait and see - this is the largest surviving lambing we’ve had so maybe it’s just the start.” The momentous event began late last Saturday afternoon when Karen and Dave

arrived home to find a pair of twins up and healthy. “About half an hour later we looked out to see another lamb there, and then another followed about five minutes later,” Karen said. “We took them into the stable for the night to protect them from the cold and headed out to visit our daughter and her family. “We got home again about an hour and a half later at 7.30pm and went to check on the lambs and Mary and

we found a fifth lamb. “It was tiny and not looking good at all so we took it into the house for the night and worked hard to keep her alive.” Their love, attention and care paid off and by morning she was up and ready to go back to her mum and siblings. “Mary took her back, which is incredible - they don’t usually want them after they’ve been away that long, so we’re really happy about that,” said Karen. Karen and Dave are supple-

ment feeding the babies on bottles, however Mary seems to be keen to feed all of them and has plenty of milk. “She is such a good mum to them all and we are giving her supplements to make sure she is healthy as well as her babies,” Karen said. “It’s a pity we couldn’t be the one in a million lotto winner, but we are so thankful to be celebrating this one in a million occurrence and look forward to watching the lambs grow.”

The project was made possible by the successful VESEP (Volunteer Emergency Services

NETBALL REVIEWS

ROUND

TOUGH TEST: Mansfield Eagles netballers took the courts to play five contested games against the Tigers at Rochester last weekend.

Mansfield Eagles take on the Tigers at Rochester

A GRADE

Mansfield 29 defeated by Rochester 61 Best on court sponsored by Foodworks - Grace Hood Coaches award sponsored by Byrne Seed Australia - Ellie Kipping WITH the long trip to Rochester, Mansfield took the court to play a contested game against the Tigers. Bella Riley got the first centre pass, leading with Cassie Dolling to work in and around the ring providing endless passes to the goalies Ellie Kipping and Meg Mahoney. They shot one after the other, starting a goal-forgoal quarter leading to a close first term of 13-17. Second quarter had Rochester coming out firing, making Grace Hood and Nelle Cousins work twice as hard to keep the Tiger’s scoring to a minimum. With one half down the girls went back on court, with Molly Rekers debuting in her first A Grade game and playing an amazing quarter (to no surprise), and Dempsey Parsons being a tough defender whilst also getting the ball down from

the defence end seamlessly. Though the girls fought hard, we couldn’t get over the line, but we are fired up to prove our worth next week! B GRADE

Mansfield 29 defeated by Rochester 53 Best on Court sponsored by Mansfield Golf ClubÂ - Joey Bailey Coaches award sponsored by Mansfield Subway - Tyla Ciarma IN the first quarter the girls came out firing and challenged Rochester to what was potentially one of our better starts for the season. It was really great to have such hard work and determination down both ends of the court and throughout the centre and to keep within the contest by only trailing by four at quarter time. With constant battle between the two teams and consistent turnovers at both ends, unfortunately Rochester ran away with the scoreboardÂ in the second and third quarter. However, in the final quarter we gathered

some of that energy we maintained in the first quarter, despite some avoidable errors that we will be able to work on this week and keep moving forward within our game. It was refreshing to see, although the scoreboard didn’t reflect it, that we were competitive and capable in the quarters we were giving one hundred per cent. If we can maintain that energy going forward I’m sure there will be much better results to follow soon. B RESERVE

Mansfield 50 defeated Rochester 40 Best on court sponsored by Joanne Holt - Leonie Berry Coaches Award sponsored by Mansfield Subway - Robbie Robinson ON a very crisp day in Rochester, Mansfield were determined to make sure this long trip was worth it. With our Captain Caz sunning herself in Thailand, Robbie Robinson stepped in as Captain and did not disappoint, taking the first intercept of the day within 20 seconds. Alongside our very versatile Sarah Anderson

this duo was ably supported by Leonie Berry and Alison Estlake, and together they made the Rochester attack work overtime all match. Through the mid court Stacey Doig was driving hard onto the goal circle and supplied some great balls into goalers Sue Dolling and Michelle Kain. With their quick goaler-to-goaler passes, Rochester’s defence were left with their heads spinning in circles. The first quarter was high scoring by both teams but Mansfield remained in control taking an early lead. To Rochester’s credit they took to the court in the second quarter with a point to prove and started to play some smart netball with Mansfield having to reassess their game at half time. Coach Mich Kain and assistant coach Dempsey Parsons willed the team to lift their intensity and voice going into the third quarter and with Annie Edwards and Jess Dolling coming on to mix things up, the game was back in our control with Mansfield dominating and scoring 15 to Rochester’s seven. With a bit of breathing space and dare we say finals in our sights, Mansfield took this opportunity to make

some positional changes in the final quarter to try some new combinations and were able to take the win comfortably by 10 goals.

and got many tips and intercepts. However, Rochester took a lead against us and we were unable to catch up.

Best on court sponsored by Cafe 41 - Ava Mahoney Coaches award sponsored by Mansfield Subway - Remy Stevenson

THE under 17 girls stepped onto court unknown how the game would turnout. Our main goals for the game was to get the talk up out there and support each other. Our defenders Mia Ciarma and Brooke Kipping worked efficiently stopping many of the feeds into the ring. This continued to work once Chloe Judge was swapped in there as well. Molly Dunn, Jess Dolling and Isabelle Byrne work the ball down the court to where Jamie Davis and Tahlia Middleton could put shots up. During the game Zoe Greene also took to the court after being away

IT was a close game for the under 15 Eagles this week up against the Rochie Tigers. The girls kept the scores close all the way through to about half time. We went into the game keen with a strong side. The team brought some great defensive pressure resulting in many turnovers. And our offence side did well delivering the ball down the court and into the goalers. The final scores definitely didn’t reflect how we went against such a strong side sitting two places above us on the ladder. Good job to all the Eagles teams and hope we can come home with a win next time.

Eagles U17s grind out impressive win By CHRIS STONEY A TYPICAL Mansfield winter’s morning greeted the Benalla Giants when they arrived to play on Sunday at our home ground. Flea and Q were pretty quick to remind our boys that the last time we played them they took it right up to us until the last quarter and what a bad start we had in that game. It was great to welcome back Adam Storer from injury. The boys were wound up accordingly and came out firing playing some magnificent footy and it didn’t take long for Nick Taylor to kick the first after a crumbing off hands and quick shot off the ground. Our big men in AJ , Cozzy and HP were dominating in the air and our little men - particularly Jack Marks and Aston Dean - were everywhere. We ended up kicking five goals three points for the quarter to the Giants solitary point. In the second we were kicking against the wind and we lost a bit of control of what turned out to be a tough Â game. The Giants kicked three goals in pretty quick succession while we only added one goal and four points. The Giants number 10 was playing an exceptional game so Hunter Reeve was given the job of running with him. At half time the boys were asked just to get back to basics and play our game and that was exactly what happened in the third, with us kicking five for the quarter and dominating the game. Riley Northcott in his 100thÂ game went back into the midfield and dominated, as did Gupps, who went into the backline. Riz, who was also dominating, copped a whack on his nose and came off and was replaced by Sunny Murphy, who made an instant impact with the first of his three goals. A Jack Stoney clever kick backwards to AJ who goaled from long range was the highlight of the quarter. In the last we held sway kicking two goals one to the Giants wasteful one goal four. We ended up running out winners by 59 points. Sports first best - AJ Thomson, second Jack Marks. MHF - Ashton Dean, MFC Hunter Reeve. Other best: Riley Northcott and Harry Purcell.

Eagles roast roarless Tigers ■

From back page “It felt like we outran them and we were down to one on the bench, too, so it was a really big effort. Owens added that he was really happy with what the group achieved on the day. “Corey Rich and Dirk Koenan played great,” said Owens. “Jack Hutchins is back to playing his best footy as well and Jimmy Herridge once again was strong in the middle.” In the reserves match beforehand, Mansfield put on a dominant display to win by twenty goals. Rochester never appeared to be in it, with a scoreless first half. The Eagles reserves reeled

off twelve unanswered goals before the Tigers were able to slot a couple through in the third term. But the Eagles never took their foot off the accelerator, soaring home to deliver an absolute drubbing to the black and yellow seconds. Mansfield reserves 22.17 (149) to Rochester reserves 2.1 (13). Best for the Eagles were Thomas Sheahan, Flynn Harding, Beau Vogelzang, Luke Menhenett, and Sam Morrow. Rochester’s finest consisted of Samuel Frawley, Harley Hayes, Grant Wachter, Ethan Hooppell, and Jarrad Kyne. Earlier in the day the U18s development sides duked it

out in a closer tussle. But the end result again went Mansfield’s way, setting the scene for what would be a disappointing day at home for the Tigers. The Eagles young guns came out strong in the first, but Rochester went toe-totoe with them in the second term. Things drew close at the half way mark, but the Eagles were keen to set the tone for a successful day, and brought it home in the last half to secure the win. Mansfield U18s 13.11 (89) to Rochester U18s 6.6 (42). Best for the Eagles: Nathan Buchanan, William Dunstan, Ben Les, Blake Leenen, and Will Devere.

Rocking it for Rochie was Darby Wileman, Mitchell Collins, Charlie Palmer, Kian Verrall, and Nate Rasmussen. Mansfield seniors are in third spot on the ladder, a 10-3 record to match second placed Euroa, who have a slightly higher percentage but lost to ladder leaders Echuca last week. The Eagles take on Shepparton this weekend at the Mansfield Recreation Reserve. “The Bears are going really good, so it’ll be a tough game this weekend,” said Owens. “But we’re in a good spot to launch into the rest of this season.”

DUAL AUSSIE WINNERS: (from left) The team of Thomas Grice and Mansfield’s Catherine Skinner won silver at the recent Trap Mixed Teams World Cup event, while fellow Aussies Penny Smith and James Willett won the gold.

Skinner wins silver in World Cup teams event LAST week the Australian Shotgun team dominated in the Trap Mixed Teams event at the ISSF World Cup in Changwon, Korea, securing both the gold and silver medals. The mixed team of Penny Smith and James Willett shot an impressive combined score of 146 out of a possible 150 targets to secure a top qualifying position. Mansfield’s Catherine Skinner and her team mate Thomas Grice shot 143 out of 150, finishing second in

qualifying and securing an all Australian Gold medal match. Into the medal match, where the two top qualifiers would contest the gold and silver medals, it was inevitable that both would be coming home to Australia. After the first two series of 10 targets, both teams were tied before Smith and Willett proved too strong winning the gold medal six points to two. “We both had a really good qualifying and really good final and Catherine

and Tom shot extremely well today also,” said Smith. “It was really hot and really humid and I think quite challenging conditions again,” said Skinner, to which Grice echoed, noting that visibility was not as good as you might expect, but very nice targets. The gold and silver medals in Changwon further cemented the Australian athletes strength in the trap mixed team event, resulting in medals at all four ISSF

World Cups attended this year. The medals added to the gold medal won by Willett and Laetisha Scanlan in Azerbaijan, bronze medal won by Willett and Skinner in Italy, and the silver and bronze medals won by Willett and Scanlan and Mitch Iles and Smith in Cyprus. The trap shotgun athletes will now return to Australia and the focus will turn to the athletes competing in the remaining skeet (shotgun), pistol and rifle events.

Junior footy back with a bang By MICHAEL BRETHERTON AFTER a two week break for school holidays, junior footy was welcomed back to the Lords on Saturday morning. The under 10s kicked off in the early game and had plenty of run and carry despite the heavy conditions. For the Eagles, Callum Logan-Williams ran hard all day and was rewarded with a great goal, new recruit Parker Darby was given an award this week for his best game for the club since joining, and Angus Parsons who took some great marks and put his body on the line. All the Eagles players contributed as a team all day and supported each other in the contests. After starting slow the Demons hit their straps, using the ball and bringing each other into the game. Paige Gridley had another good game and kicked her first goal for the season, while Henry Chandler continued his good work in the ruck and around the ground. Awards for the Demons went to Harry Buscombe who had his best game for the year alongside Jax Heath, with both players attacking the ball hard and winning contests at will. The Hawks had another good day on the park, with a solid team performance sharing the ball around and running hard all day. Award winners were Spencer Yencken and Axel Anstee who battled well all day, with special mention to Sophie Snell on kicking her first goal for the season and Bodhi Clifton on another dominant performance. The under 13s followed as conditions became a little more trying with the cold setting in. The Eagles had a great day with Isaac Crowe having his best game providing plenty of drive off the backline, well supported by Heath Shelvin who also had his best game for the year, both players taking out the awards. Sam Kain was also terrific giving the Eagles first use of the ball all day in and around the clearances. For the Cats, award winners were Nick Hoskins who had a terrific game providing plenty of options around the ground, and Logan Kent who was solid as a rock in defence. The Blues put in another solid team performance with Zander Haslau brilliant down back, supported by Will Anderson who was outstanding setting up the play from the half back line, earning both players the awards for this week. Special mentions to Will Benton and Henry Banks who ran and drove the ball with purpose and direction all day. Many thanks to Bertalli’s Bakery for supplying the pastry goods so the players could enjoy a pie night during the week.

Koraus blitzes the field By LAURIE HARCUS

BLITZING THE FIELD: John Koraus took home another win this week, making it two wins in three weeks.

Rain holds off for monthly clay target shoot THE monthly Mansfield Clay Target Club shoot was held on Sunday in cold windy conditions. Ongoing rain throughout the day was forecast but did not eventuate; however, the forecast kept many of the normal shooters at home in front of the fire. As a result a small dedicated number of competitors made up three squads from 14 shooters, including representatives from Alexandra, Euroa, Yarrawonga and Wangaratta. The events for the day included a five target point score eye-opener, 25 Double Barrel Cash Divide, 30 Point score Championship and finally a 20 Pair Deauville Doubles. All events were generously sponsored by Foster Legal. Event one got underway in challenging variable wind conditions. Taking out the prizes were AA Grade, Daryl Hunt (Yarrawonga); A Grade, Marty McLachlan (Mansfield); B Grade, John Winters and Alan Kidd (Mansfield); C Grade, Carson Weingott (Mansfield Junior). Shooters went straight into the 25 target Double Barrel event with the following winners. AA and A Grade combined, Daryl Hunt 24/25; B Grade,

WINTER is a time of wandering along a little as we await the warmer months enjoying the matches and company with little pressure or expectation; smaller fields, trying new things, and building up for the club championships. Tuesday was Men’s Par off the gold tees. 1st - John Koraus +5 (h/c 6) 2nd - Brad Grant +1 (h/c 1) 3rd - Laurie Harcus 0 (h/c 12) Playing off the gold tees is a fun event where your handicap nearly halves. It brings in different strategies, unusual distances, and situations. The Par component is more of a challenge, particularly for the low handicappers who, like everyone else only receive one ‘plus’ for an outstanding result (e.g. birdie or eagle). For many it was a slow start as they adjusted, often minus four or five at the turn then reversing the result on the back nine with plus four or five. If every person eligible played off the gold tees - that is being of 70 yrs of age - the normal field could possibly halve.

This shows one of the demographics of golfers - age. John Koraus certainly ‘blitzed’ the field with his plus five. Brad also starred, playing off his one handicap; not much room for error there. Thursday - Stableford. Fifty-three players across two divisions. First division: 1st - Mic Davis 37 pts (h/c 10) 2nd - David Octigan 36 pts (h/c 11) 3rd - Maurie Walsh 35 pts (h/c 9) Another outstanding performance by Big Mic who was lauded in despatches last week for his two wins. Well done to Dave, our club President, and Maurie, our club Treasurer, for their high placings. B division: 1st - Trevor West 34 pts (h/c 27) 2nd - Peter Hood 33 pts (h/c 20) 3rd - Peter Cullen 31 pts (h/c 31) Congratulation to Trevor; a solid win for one of the Swan morning group, as is Peter Cullen, brother of Bob (secretly practicing in QLD). Peter Hood (Hoody to his friends): a rare appearance mid-week, and a pleasing

one for his friends and his pocket. The likeable Alan Parrott took home two of the NTP prizes. Saturday - A mixed threeperson stableford event with a shotgun start. 1st - the team of Jaqueline Smithwick, Kane Blunt and Tim Reilly with a score of 79 pts. 2nd - Lyn Poulson, Ian Jones and Glen Mackwell 77 pts. 3rd - Marion Sargeant, Brad Grant and Taki Murakami - 75 pts. A big gap between first and fourth with 10 shots separating them. A fun day being the second novelty event of the week, freezing cold, the positive being eleven teams fronted up and the predicted rain bypassed us to the south. An excellent win for Jaqui, Kano and good friend Tim Reilly. We farewell Tim for a few weeks as he heads overseas to the ‘mother’ country to wreak some havoc. Safe travels Tim. Congratulations to the aforementioned runners up and third positions who were also well clear of the rest of the field. Stay well, stay happy.

‘Towns of Origin’ in U12s footy

By BRENDAN PIGDON

By NATHAN KYNNERSLEY AFTER a one year hiatus due to COVID restrictions, the Mansfield U12 representative junior football side hosted Benalla at home on Sunday in the annual interleague match.Â The Eagles looked strong from the beginning and came out of the blocks firing in the first quarter led by their ruckman Zac Hotton. The Eagles backline (Zander Haslou, Sam Hough, Reagan Watts, Jake West, Archie Dunn, Will Benton, Jack Clydesdale, Lachie Roberts, Isaac Crowe) stood strong and delivered solid tackles and hard spoils.Â The midfield (Toby Gerrans, Felix Smith, Josh Taylor, Gus Robinson and Seb Walker) showed some fancy footwork and clean hands to move the ball down the field, delivering to a cohesive forward line. The forwards line of Taj Kynnersley, Bodhi Killeen, Jay Kynnersley, Lenny Gardner, Mitch Storer, Oscar Pigdon, Noah Langlands and Levi Stevenson were able to pull in marks, protect each other and get some goals on the board. The three captains, Toby, Seb

YOUNG EAGLES: Mansfield U12 representative junior football side hosted Benalla at home on Sunday in the annual interleague match. ers and Mansfield held their lead through to the end. Final scores were Mansfield 11.5 (71) Benalla 3.1 (19). Goals went to Bodhi Killeen (3), Taj Kynnersley (2), Mitch Storer (2), Seb Walker (1), Jack Clydesdale (1), Lenny Gardner (1), and Gus Robinson (1).Â Congratulations to Taj Kynnersley, who was awarded the umpires Best On Ground for Mansfield after a terrific game, and a special mention to Coop-

and Taj, kept the boys in high spirits as the Eagles held a comfortable lead into the half time break, and some words from coaches Matt Storer and Nick Dunn kept them on task and in the zone, ready to put in a solid second half performance. The rain came in the fourth quarter making the ball slippery and marks were not as easy to come by, but some great team work and clever hands managed to still find goal kick-

er Martin who couldn’t play due to a late injury, but it was great to see him part of the team on the sideline and in the rooms. Looks like the Mansfield kids may need to practice the club song as there might be more opportunities to keep singing it loud and proud into the future.Â Many thanks to the team of coaches and MJFC committee for organising a great day - lots of smiles all round.

AFTER a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos, Mansfield Eagles U14s football team took on a very confident Benalla Giants on the weekend. On a cold miserable Sunday morning the young Eagles started off quickly, with good contributions out of the centre from Eddie Morphett, James Benton and Jaxon McCormack. Charlie Dobson had the ball on a string getting many touches in the first quarter. The Eagles convincingly won the first quarter; however, that wasn’t the case in the second. Mansfield’s backline was kept busy with strong performances from Noah Pigdon, Harry Yencken and Oscar Guppy. But Benalla outscored Mansfield to be within seven points at half time. The third quarter was a very intense competition with both sides playing good, hard football. Tom Williams and Will Northcote played well as did Liam Smith. The Giants hit the front for a short period, but the determined Eagles fought back to be in front by a few points at the last break. The last quarter proved to be as intense as the third, with the Eagles showing some true character to hold the Giants off and win by one point. The final scores were 7.9 (51) to 7.8 (50). Awards went to Jaxon McCormack Mansfield Football Netball Club Cap, Noah Pigdon - Ben Purday Brick Laying Award, and Harry Yenken - O’Malleys Pizza Award. The Eagles take on Wangaratta Centrals at Wangaratta this coming Sunday.

Local derby ignites winter tennis By RHONDA CARPENTER LOCAL rivals Mansfield Red and Mansfield Black had the perfect chance to scope out their opponents for the local derby. Both teams had planned practice sessions alongside each other the previous Monday at the Elvin’s Street courts. The friendly banter began early. Black team was impacted by last minute ill-health and work commitments, and fillins were sought but not easily found. Players would need to shorten the number of sets played and include five players. Red generously allowed them to do that.

Pre-match discussion centred on early hours Wimbledon watching. Black began strongly taking the first two sets 8-1. After the fast start the tempo shifted with longer rallies and multiple deuces in the games. Red’s Karyn Fraser and Jo O’Brien went game for game in their set against Black’s Di Ellis and Rhonda Carpenter to reach four all. Red put power and spin into their groundstrokes and placed the ball superbly to race away to a 7-4 lead. Black rallied but Red held firm winning 8-6. Jemma Blackall and Jenny Bell owned the net to control play in their set against Carolyn Murray

age to defeat Ellis and Jenny Smith 8-5. Keen to get off the court, Bell and Carpenter

took the last for Black 8-1. Players shared stories across the lunch table in the warmth of the clubhouse after a long and enjoyable day of tennis returning from the mid-winter break. Terip’s Cindy Hayes, Frances Lawrence, Bec Lyttle and Jenny Martin were convincing in their opening sets against Moglonemby winning the first three: 8-1, 8-3 and 8-0. Marlene Hanrahan and Lyn Johnston combined strongly to win 8-3 for Moglonemby in theirs, while Sue Vaughan and Lenore Mundy managed 5 games in theirs. Terip won 5/45 to Moglonemby 1/20. Benalla’s Kate Campbell, Clare Sharp, Maureen Jew-

ell, and Deb Siggers showed why they are top of the ladder, winning every set bar one against a determined Mansfield Blue. Sophie Yencken and Debbie Moore won that set in a tiebreaker. Blue’s Clare Beecham and Michelle Pigdon secured six games in their opening tussle and Pigdon and Moore went down in another breaker. Benalla won the lengthy battle 5/47 to 1/32. Next week Black host Benalla, Moglonemby host Blue and Euroa host Terip. Red has the bye. Ladder: Benalla 45, Terip 40, Euroa 34, Mansfield Black 33, Moglonemby 22, Mansfield Blue 21, and Mansfield Red 15.

Ladies golfers shine at Country Championships By LINDA TERRY ANY week that involves a weekend getaway of golf is a good one, and this week provided one of those opportunities. Three days of golf up on the Murray River, catching up with lady golfers from all over the state, nice dinners, plenty of wine, and lots of laughs. A recipe for a great time. But before that, here at home, a good field of nine ladies playing stableford on Tuesday saw Glenis Skinner pick up first prize with 15 points plus the nearest the pin. Jenny Koraus was runner up with 14 and Marion Sargeant 3rd with 12. Wednesday was stroke for the ladies and a good field for this time of the year with 23 playing giving us two divisions. Nicki Cooper led the way in Div One with nett 76 on a countback to runner up, Sheryl Sargent and Lyn Poulson was 3rd with 78. In Div Two, Jenny Koraus was again taking the winners prize with nett 78 on a countback to Anne Tilbrook. Third was Marion Sargeant with 80. Linda Terry picked up a lineball with nett 79, while nearest the pins went to Gayle Wells, Kylie Egan and Pauline Ahola. The putting prize was shared three ways between Lesley Anderson, Sheryl Sargent and Millie Cumming. Saturday was a Mixed Stableford 1,2,3 event and the team of Jackie Smithwick, Tim Reilly and Kane Blunt

were both winners and grinners. Meanwhile, as has been foreshadowed, four of our ladies travelled to Cobram Barooga to take part in Golf Australia’s Victorian Women’s Country Championships. Held over three days, the event attracted a big field of 101 women from around the state, playing across both the Cobram Old and West courses, both of which offered plenty of challenges. Day one comprised a 36 hole Foursomes event and a 18 hole Foursomes event, and I am pleased to report that the Mansfield pairing of Shelly Comerford and Linda Terry were runners up in the 18 hole event. Then over Saturday and Sunday it was the 36 hole Championship for the Division One players, and the 36 hole Glenelg Cup, Stableford event for Division Two players. Sheryl Sargent represented Mansfield in the championship and finished mid-field despite being one of the highest handicappers in the field. Sue Parson, Shelly Comerford and Linda Terry were in Division Two and Linda performed the best of these, coming fourth in the Glenelg Cup. As in any pairs golf event, your player can at times put you in awkward positions, as Shelly found out see photo. Being left to play from a very tight lie at the base of at tree Shelly ended up with a great outcome, popping the ball out 70 metres to run it nicely up to the pin!

AWKWARD SPOT: Shelly Comerford beautifully punches out from the base of a tree to land the ball nicely on the green. SHINING: Shelly Comerford and Linda Terry, Runners Up at the 18 Hole Foursomes at the Vic Country Championships.

Henry The Third

Eagles roast roarless Tigers FRESH off as rest courtesy of the split round 13, The Eagles travelled to Rochester last weekend to take on the Tigers. And take them on they did. The Eagles went goal for goal with the Tigers at first, until they put away a couple to finish the first quarter with a three goal lead, making it six straight in the first quarter. Rochester bounced back in the second, tightening the screws on the Eagles. They scored the only three goals in the first 25 minutes. But the Eagles didn’t lie down, swooping to nab two quick goals and end the first half in front and with the momentum swinging. The third quarter was all blue and gold on the

scoreboard, as the Eagles rained down a series of goals and behinds to add to the mounting pressure on the home side. That trend continued into the final term, as the Eagles ran out with the match, booting another five to come home strong and take a convincing win. Mansfield seniors 17.10 (112) to Rochester seniors 8.12 (60). Best for the Eagles were Corey Rich, Dirk Koenen, Harry Mahoney, James Herridge, and Ben Christopher. Forwards Cameron Arnold and Will Foster both

kicked five each. Shining lights for the Tigers were Shaun Atley, Christopher Jansen, Lachlan Harper, Hugh Hamilton, and Steven Stroobants, who kicked four. Seniors Coach Chad Owens said it had been a while since they’d won over at the notoriously tough Rochester, which was great to see. “It was a high scoring first half,” said Owens. “Defensively we probably gave up a bit much, but after that we restricted them to just sixteen points. “I thought we adapted well after half time. “Rochester are an unbelievably good stoppage team, a good handballing side, so the pressure we applied in the last half was great. ■ Continued page 38
