Muck-up mayhem VCE students throughout South Gippsland saw a rare opportunity last Thursday and Friday to let their hair down and have fun. To signal the end of classes and mark a celebration of schooling life almost completed, muck-up day was held with all variety of costumes on display from cheerleaders and Big Bird to Bananas in Pyjamas and Batgirl. The serious stuff now begins for the students, who begin VCE exams with English this Thursday, November 1. See more muck-up photos on pages 20 and 21 and on our website photo gallery www.thestar.com.au

AXE FALLS IN BASS By Jane Ross and Simone Short
VOTERS in Bass Coast have turfed 50 years of experience out the door, electing fresh young representatives instead. In South Gippsland on the other hand, they’ve stayed pretty much with the tried and true. Bass Coast constituents had little truck with the Alan Brown reform team which fielded candidates in ev-
COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2012 ery ward. Only two of them got in and Mr Brown wasn’t one of them, despite polling the most primary votes. While former mayor Peter Paul was beaten in Thompson Ward by the reform team’s Andrew Phillips, he welcomed three new women councillors
in Jordan Crugnale (Townsend) Clare Le Serve (Leadbeater) and Kimberley Brown (McHaffie). The other reform team member is Brad Drew, a butcher from San Remo whom many would describe as an “action man” who won in Anderson Ward. The only sitting councillor to be returned was Phil Wright, who trounced fellow councillor Gareth Barlow. Mr Wright said the council overhaul suggested the Bass Coast community wanted change, but low rates, offered by the reform team, was obviously not the solution. Mr Barlow said he’s disappointed, but pleased the reform team wasn’t elected. Neil Rankine won Hovell Ward beating Alan Brown, Jessica Harrison and John Duscher, who has been in local government for 26 years. Continued on page 9.

This past week saw its birthday celebrated with a number of events held around the town. Celebrations reached a climax on Saturday with a procession through Leongatha’s McCartin Street to the court house with the South Gippsland Shire Brass Band and historical police cars. The band, which calls the court house home, played for a ceremony which included a commemorative tree planting by
Federal Member for McMillan Russell Broadbent and the unveiling of commissioned paintings. These paintings, by Bob Hickman, captured the court house in its 100th year and are magnificent. Public presentations in the court house and mock trials with local schools were other events on throughout the week to celebrate the centenary. Leongatha Lyric Theatre performed Trial by Jury inside the court house twice to full audiences, with a matinee performance on Saturday ending the week’s celebrations.

Rental supply glut
The departure of Victorian Desalination Project workers has left large gaps in the rental market throughout a number of towns, including Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Leongatha, while changes in the renting demographic and economy are also having an impact. Stockdale and Leggo Wonthaggi principal Pat Barry said this is the most available properties he’s seen in 10 years. “This is the first time in many years we’ve had an abundance of property,” he said, adding rental prices had also dropped. “When the desal workers were here, the normal properties became more expensive. We’ve come back around 15 per cent, and even 20 per cent in some parts.” Mr Barry said the benefit of the desal workers leaving is the number of high quality homes now accessible to others. “In the two to three years before the desal came, there was slow and progressive investment where people were buying properties in Wonthaggi suitable for the rental market, with many of them brand new,” he said. “As a result, the qual-
Super not council’s fault BASS Coast Shire Council’s unfunded superannuation liability of $4 million is not the council’s doing. “It’s a legislative requirement,” Danny Luna told the October meeting. Mr Luna is council’s director of corporate services. He’s also on a Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) task force that is trying to find a suitable way for municipalities to deal with the burden. Mr Luna said the MAV is seeking legal advice on the matter. He was replying to a question from Irene Bennis of Wimbledon Heights, who wanted to know why unfunded superannuation is passed on to councils. They would like to know too, because the State and Federal governments don’t have the same impost even though some of their employees are part of an old scheme under which the liability exists. Mr Luna said the liability covers a number of authorities, including councils.
year when university students finished school and new teachers, doctors and vets moved to the area on new contracts. Stockdale and Leggo Inverloch property manager Naomy Hendricks said the departure of desal is also affecting rental prices in Inverloch. “Landlords aren’t getting the high rental returns they were and prices are coming down quite considerably; what we’re doing is ringing landlords and adjusting to the new rental market,” she said. Ms Hendricks said they do have a large number of furnished properties available, which while ideal for desal workers, were not in demand at present. “A lot of the properties that are furnished, we’re trying to get landlords to holiday rent them as there’s just not a furnished demand anymore,” she said. “Either landlords are taking them back to use themselves or putting them on the holiday market. I’m trying to get our list down to mainly unfurnished properties.”
Rentals galore: Alex Scott and Staff Leongatha property consultant Allan Steenholdt and property manager Carly Roughead show the long list of rental properties currently on the market, over four times the number as at the same time last year.

THE oversupply of rental properties in South Gippsland and Bass Coast is at its highest in a decade according to local agents, causing pain to many using this as a retirement income.
ity of rental stock is dramatically better. No doubt we lost people out of the area that couldn’t find family accommodation and went to surrounding towns, but in time that will be addressed.” Alex Scott and Staff Leongatha property manager Carly Roughead said residents returning to Wonthaggi was one of the reasons Leongatha was facing an oversupply of rentals. Ms Roughead said while she only had five properties listed this time last year, she was now averaging 22. “We’ve experienced the flow and effect from the desal,” she said. “A lot of the locals moved out of Wonthaggi to this area when the workers came. Now the desal is gone, they’ve moved back home to Wonthaggi and we’re losing them from here.” Ms Roughead said lifestyle changes in the younger demographic were also having an effect. “A lot of people are sharing houses now, and it’s more common to have two or three couples living together,” she said, adding the lack of jobs in Leongatha was also a factor. “It’s all related to the cost; the average price of a house is between $260 and $280 a week, and then you’ve got electricity and water bills and everyday living expenses. Some people are struggling to afford it, so they split it three ways.” Ms Roughead said she expected interest to pick up around the end of the

satellite station. Cr Duscher said the CFA had been very active across the shire in improving facilities. “The CFA had indicated it would like to have facilities in Cape Woolamai and this (motion) will ensure the discussion continues.” The council’s director of community and economic development, Steve Piasente said sites had been considered in conjunction with the CFA, but there was limited vacant land in Cape Woolamai. Nevertheless, seven had been identified. Cr Wright said he didn’t think a fire station at Cape Woolamai was necessary – until recently. “This is really essential.” Cr Peter Paul reminded his colleagues the fire station is a proposal and facts and figures will be detailed at the November meeting. “It’s not a foregone conclusion, it will be determined by the new council.”

ing paintings with a Moments in Time theme. The works came about following a trip Jenefer made about two years ago to the Northern Territory where she visited Kakadu, the Kimberley and the country around Uluru. “I was so in awe of the beautiful colours of rock, sand and water and the peacefulness of the chasms and the beautiful birdlife, trees and grasses,” she said. “So I decided there and then I would go home and start painting some of these places from the many photos I had taken.” Jenefer said her art teacher and mentor Di Wilson had given her expert tuition, as has Agata Lelek at Bass Coast Artists’ Society workshops. The result captures the spectacular beauty and rich hues of Australia’s outback. Well known South Gippsland artist Dennis Leversha will officially open the exhibition on Sunday, November 4 at 2pm. Exhibition opening hours are 10am to 5pm weekdays, 10am to 3pm Saturdays and Sundays.

cillors were being asked to adopt. The plan has resulted from continued collaboration between government agencies and land managers and now includes the risk of fire associated with structures and chemicals. An officer’s report stated community members have played a part in developing the plan and “the inclusion of their local knowledge regarding assets and past fire history means the plan is a robust document and a fine example of integrated fire management planning”. Councillors adopted the plan. They also passed a motion moved by Crs Duscher and Phil Wright that a report be presented to the November meeting of the new council detailing options for the siting of a new Cape Woolamai Satellite Fire Station.

Gardens open for viewing
SOUTH Gippsland’s Railway Stations’ beauty will be judged this Sunday as part of a Railway Garden competition.
The Korumburra Community Development and Action are running a completion with some serious prize money up for grabs for the winning gardens. Korumburra Rotary has donated $750 for the most sustainable railway garden and Korumburra Karingal Ladies have donated $750 for the most beautiful railway garden. KDCA president Syd White said that this event was to improve the western end of the shire. “The concept is to improve the community image of western end of the shire where we can have an impact,” he said. “This is driven by the KCDA in conjunction with the smaller communities of Loch and Nyora and to boost tourism as a whole.” A community open garden day is to be run from noon with tickets being sold at the Korumburra Railway Station for $10 for viewing of three gardens. A sausage sizzle will be held after the last garden in Poowong with the first two being at Korumburra. The proceeds will be going back to the community. It is hoped to run both the Railway Station Garden Competition and the Korumburra Community Open Garden Day as an annual event, with different gardens being viewed each year. For details contact Syd Whyte 5655 1247 or Maurie Thiele 5658 1002.

Top award for school history By Jane Ross THE history book written for this year’s centenary of Leongatha High School/ Secondary College has won a prestigious honour.
When From Inkwell to Internet was announced last week as a winner at the Victorian Community History Awards, its author Lyn Skillern was lost for words. She is the first to admit that in itself is a rare event. “I was dumbfounded. I was
shocked, I could hardly walk up the two steps to get the award!” Noted historian Professor Weston Bate was less confounded. A friend of South Gippsland historian John Murphy and former speaker at the Leongatha and District Historical Society, Lyn said Professor Bate was “bouncing around” in his seat when the win was announced. She spent four years researching material for the volume, written in collaboration with Clive Lynn, Ian Snell and Gay Hutchinson. Joanne Marchese did the design and layout.
From Inkwell to Internet won the Collaborative Community History Award. In a booklet about this year’s prizes, the book is described thus, “It is clearly written, based on solid research, well illustrated and comprehensive of the whole period. Its several authors and use of student memoirs make it a community collaborative project. “This is a welcome addition to Victorian education history.” The awards were presented by the Public Records Office and Royal Historical Society of Victoria during a glittering ceremony
last Tuesday afternoon in the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria. There were five finalists in the collaborative category including a scientific legacy of the expedition of Burke and Wills. Lyn, who was a geography and history teacher at Leongatha High School/Secondary College for 31 years, said the award recognised the efforts of those who helped write the book, including Charlie Edney and Tom Coulter whose school workbooks from many decades ago added so much insight and character.
MG quiet on claims By Matt Dunn MURRAY Goulburn has refused to comment on allegations that its milk productivity payment system rewards big operators at the expense of smaller ones.
One MG supplier, who spoke to The Star under condition of anonymity, said he believes a planned review of the payment system would not change anything at the co-operative. He said the board’s members were made up of big operators who had a record of rewarding their brethren. He said too that bigger operators, with more shares, had greater voting rights, meaning they were more likely to maintain positions of power on the board. “I heard about the review about three weeks
ago. I believe they’re looking to review their payment system and level out their payments. But what will happen for Murray Goulburn is that nothing much will change, because most of the board members are larger farmers,” he said. “The 1998 constitution was changed in 1999, but none of the suppliers knew about the changes. They took out ‘operating in a co-operative manner,’ ‘non-suppliers owning shares,’ ‘being responsible for any debt incurred through their misdemeanours,’ and ‘automatic disqualification’ if they didn’t obey the rules and regulations of the regulatory authorities and those of Murray Goulburn. “The people who are sitting on the board are aware of that and they’re prepared to do nothing about it.” The farmer said things were unlikely change under the planned review.
“It used to be one man one vote. But they changed that system as well. I’ve only got 60 or 70,000 shares, which gives me 60 or 70,000 votes,” he said. “But some of the board members just have to vote for themselves and they win. Where’s operating in a co-operative manner when each man hasn’t got an equal say? Where’s operating in an equally manner when you pay each individual different amounts? “Bigger farmers have more of a say.” An MG spokesperson acknowledged that there had been frustration with the productivity payment system. Higher payments to new suppliers, another bone of contention, had been halted, she said. Specific questions submitted to the dairy giant addressing the supplier’s allegations have been ignored.

Camera to snap polluters SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council will install motion activated surveillance cameras at illegal dumping hot spots from this week.
Litter prevention officer Leanne Edwards said council’s focus will be to identify more illegal dumping offenders so they can clean up the rubbish that they have deposited. Otherwise, council bears the cost of collecting and disposing of dumped waste. “We are openly advertising the use of cameras because we would much rather deter people from dumping rubbish in the first place, than have to follow up with enforcement action,” Ms Edwards said. Information obtained by the cameras will support the collection of data on the types and quantities of waste being dumped throughout the shire. This information will be used to more effectively plan for and implement effective litter management strategies. Litterers identified by the cameras will be contacted and initially asked to return to the site and collect the rubbish they have dumped. Where necessary and appropriate, minimum penalties of $282 (ranging up to $1790) per offence will be enforced. Council’s sustainability manager
Geoff McKinnon said council is aiming to deter households and business from illegally dumping unwanted items at all. “We would like nothing more than to not have to deal with any illegal dumping. The cameras will help us target our enforcement resources where they are needed the most which, in turn, will help us refine our waste education messages and services,” he said. All residents and visitors are urged to contact council on 5662 9200 if they observe any illegal dumping activity, or to nominate any illegal dumping trouble spot in their area for surveillance.
Great look: Tykren and Azari Hancock and Elias and Ethan Pearce from Korumburra were dressed to impress on Saturday night at Coal Creek.
Spooky night success Disgusting act: rubbish illegally dumped near Screw Creek at Inverloch, not far from the Inverloch transfer station.
Pony Club approved KORUMBURRA and district Pony Club was granted a planning application by council to move to a site at Kardella South after 10 objections were submitted.
The Pony Club is now able to start work on their new home, which is a six hectare lot on Old Leongatha Road which is in Council’s Farming Zone. This will involve construction of a shed and a gravel car park on the land which will be used for Pony Club events 15 times a year, as well as general maintenance. Council passed the motion four to three, with Cr Warren Raabe not included due to conflict of interest. Objections were mostly from residents in the area who suggested that a Pony Club in that area would ruin the relaxed atmosphere of the area, that a Pony Club does not fit into an activity that would suit the Farming Zone and that Old Leongatha Road was not suitable for more traffic such as horse floats.
The objection that caught the most attention of the council was the dangerous intersection of Old Leongatha Road and the South Gippsland Highway. Cr Bob Newton called for a deferral because he thought VicRoads would need to have more input into deciding the dangers of the intersection. “I’ve looked at it a couple of times and think that this is a major, major issue,” he said. “I’m hoping that a deferral would allow us to do some common sense consultation with VicRoads on the issue.” Cr Kieran Kennedy and Cr Jeanette Harding both supported Cr Newton’s comments, saying it is ‘an accident waiting to happen’. Cr Jennie Deane said VicRoads had been contacted and they said they have no problem. The motion for the deferral was not supported and the motion to approve the planning application was carried, leaving objectors in the gallery disappointed.
GHOULS, witches, vampires and aliens flocked to Coal Creek on Saturday night for the annual Halloween celebrations. The heritage buildings in the park were suitably set for a scary theme, with even a torture chamber on display. The live shows sold out and trick or treat tickets were all bought, with over 5200 patrons coming through the
gates on the night. It wasn’t only the young who donned a scary costume either, with parents dressed as well as their children. Coal Creek co-ordinator Rowena Ashley was very happy with the turn out. “We wanted to break the 5000 and we did, which is fantastic,” she said. “We had people coming from all over as well. Families came from Prahran, Eltham, Pakenham, Sale, Traralgon and everywhere in between.” Rowena and her team are already thinking about more things for next year’s event. “We’ve got some ideas of things that work well and we’re looking to expand even further,” she said. “We’d like to thank IGA for their donation of fruit and vegetables, Korumburra Rotary for sponsoring the Scarecrow competition and Parry’s Gifts for donating the trophies.”
Scary pair: Reide MacQueen and Beau GrabhamAndrews from Korumburra were a pair of blood thirsty vampires.
REVIEW OF VICTORIAN REGIONAL WATER PRICES 2013-18 Public Meetings - Wonthaggi and Newhaven
Booo!: vampire Chantelle Cridge, ghoul Cody Cridge and werewolf Joel Taylor were out to scare at Coal Creek on Saturday.
Looking for lollies: cousins Emily Kurrle and Ashlin O’Flaherty were getting into the trick-ortreating at Coal Creek on Saturday.
Victoria's independent water regulator, the Essential Services Commission, has commenced a review of urban water prices proposed to apply across Victoria for a five-year period from 1 July 2013. South Gippsland Water and Westernport Water have submitted their water plans for the 2013-18 period to the Commission. As part of its public consultation, the Commission is seeking the views of water customers before it hands down a draft decision in March 2013.

Shire to shed seawalls SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council is cutting ties with the Corner Inlet Seawalls in a bid to shed them of liability. The council is no longer liable and can’t be sued for up to $190m if the seawalls break and damage agricultural land which they protect. These seawalls are located on private land along the coast and span approximately 55 properties. About 25 kilometres in length, the walls provide protection for these and
surrounding properties – about 200 properties in total. Council voted to formally revoke the Corner Inlet Drainage Area Advisory Committee and its Instrument of Delegation on April 24, 2014 or earlier if alternate management arrangement has been made. This is because council currently has no authority or legal right to delegate powers to conduct any non-council activities through a Section 86 Committee. In the 18 months before council
cuts all ties with the wall they will work with the beneficiaries of the seawalls to establish their own incorporated body. In earlier discussions about the walls Councillor Warren Raabe said it would be a move to save rate payers. “We are liable to be sued if the seawall breaks,” he said. He continued to say that the he is not willing to take the risk with what rate payers will have to foot the bill for. Councillor Jim Fawcett agreed and
said that is not something that council can risk at the expense of rate payers. “You don’t insure your next door neighbour and neither should the rate payers,” he said. “I’m not prepared to take a risk on the rate payers of South Gippsland.” Councillor Jeanette Harding questioned whether or not the council should be making such a potential costly decision in caretaker mode. CEO Tim Tamlin told the council there were no laws against making these
kinds of decisions in caretaker mode. Cr Harding was also worried that the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority, which was likely to take on the liability for the wall, would not be involved. “I was on the committee in 1994 and the WGCMA walked out of a meeting saying that they didn’t want anything to do with the wall,” she said. Despite this the motion passed, with mayor Raabe having the final decision after a draw of votes.
Combined churches to honour All Souls By Matt Dunn A COMBINED churches service at Loch this Saturday will feature a traditional ‘Nigerian Ritual Burning Ceremony’ to honour the dead.
The All Souls’ Day ceremony will bring together the region’s Catholic, Anglican and Uniting churches to commemorate and celebrate the souls of friends and relatives who have passed away. A Catholic parishioner at Loch and one of the
organisers of the event, Dianne Stewart, said the All Souls Day was open to “all people who believe in commemorating and honouring relatives and friends who have passed away”. “For many people it’s hard getting over a loved one’s death and I know some people can be affected throughout their whole lives. This will not be like a funeral, but more like a celebration,” she said. “We have invited many parishioners from surrounding churches to join us for this unique celebration to commemorate the memory of loved ones who have passed away. Our theme of hope and resurrection will defray any funeral impressions.”
Mrs Stewart believes the service, which will see five ministers from three denominations, conducting an “ecumenical service for an expected 90 plus Christians under the one united Christian umbrella,” was something unique to the region. Father Joseph Abutu, a Nigerian priest working in the local parish, will add another dimension to the ceremony with his country’s ritual burning ceremony. “The smoking ceremony or holocaust offering was an integral part of African worship and prayer prior to the advent of Christianity,” he said. “This tradition, which goes back thousands of years before the coming of Christianity, was the
formal way of invoking the gods or the ancestral spirits in many parts of Nigeria in particular and Africa in general. “However, with the coming of Christianity to Nigeria, this and many other traditions were abolished by the missionaries. Those who practised the smoking ceremony believed that God lives above the earth, somewhere in the cloud.” Father Joseph said God was often honoured by burning an animal “without blemish”. “When the smoke from the burnt animal rises up to the sky, God smells it and the fragrance that comes from this pleases his heart. The meat from the burnt sacrifice is shared by those present,” he said.
Time honoured ritual: Father Joseph Abutu will conduct a Nigerian Ritual Burning Ceremony this Saturday at Loch.
are returned to the earth symbolising that we are dust and we shall return to the dust.” The service will also include music, a liturgy, acknowledgment of those who have passed on, memorial rituals, homilies from church ministers and a candle lighting ceremony. The service begins at 10.30am at the Loch Catholic Church, with a lunch at 12.30pm.

POLICE BRIEFS Farmer critical A MAN is in a critical condition in the Alfred Hospital after his leg became stuck in a mechanical hay feeder on an Outtrim property on Leongatha South-Outtrim Road.
Around 7.30am on Saturday, the 51-year-old man attempted to clear a blockage in the feeder when his leg was pulled into the machine. Senior Sergeant Trevor Teer said the man was severely injured in the accident, suffering from multiple fractures to his leg. “He suffered extensive leg injuries to the extent where his leg was almost amputated,” he said. “Police, ambulance, CFA and SES attended to treat and free the man and he was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital in a serious condition.” A spokesperson from Rural Ambulance Victoria said the man was trapped for around two hours before paramedics were able
to dismantle the side of the machine and free his leg. Snr Sgt Teer said Work Safe attended the site and will conduct an investigation into the incident.
Dalyston death inquest THE Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court is investigating the 2008 death of a 63-year-old Dalyston woman who died of ischemic heart disease a day after she was discharged from the Wonthaggi Hospital. She was treated for reflux. Ischemic heart disease is characterised by reduced blood supply and is the most common cause of death in most Western countries. The two day inquest will conclude today (Tuesday, October 30). Hospital CEO Lea Pope said it would not be appropriate for her to comment on the death while it was under investigation.
“It’s very sad, but the coroner will make the determination as to what happened,” she said.
Quick crook A THIEF targeted a vehicle, stealing valuable items whilst the owner unloaded equipment on the weekend. Between 3pm and 3.15pm on Saturday, the offender stole the victim’s wallet and mobile phone, which were left in the centre console of the vehicle. The owner had parked in Sports Lane, Korumburra, and was unloading audio equipment for the Lions Club State Conference at the time of the theft. Anyone with information about the theft can contact Korumburra Police on 5655 1244.
Vanished banner A BANNER valued at $1000 was stolen from the Tourist Information Centre on Phillip Island Road in Ne-
whaven last week. The 5m by 3m PVC banner advertising the 2012 Moto GP was taken overnight last Thursday. Anyone with information about the theft can contact Wonthaggi Police on 5671 4100.
Rural ransack A RURAL property in Fish Creek was ransacked by thieves recently. Offenders entered the Waratah Road property between October 1 and 21 and stole a pizza oven, two gas bottles, and a pair of shears was taken from the verandah. A fire extinguisher and flares from a fishing boat were also stolen from the property. Anyone with information about the theft can contact Foster Police on 5682 2407.
thieves recently when offenders forced their way into a premise in Grantville-Glen Alvie Road in Almurta. Between 12pm on Saturday, October 20 and 6.45am on Monday, October 22, offenders used bolt cutters to cut two padlocks on two entry gates. They then forced their way into an office building through a window. The office was ransacked, with a TV, printer, fire extinguisher, two way radios, safety equipment
and keys to the company vehicles stolen. A Mitsubishi Triton utility was also stolen, along with a tandem trailer with a large fuel tank mounted on it. Other property items were then taken from a shed on the premise. The vehicle was later recovered burnt out last Friday around 4pm in Invermay Road in Drouin South. The trailer was also recovered at this location. Anyone with information about the theft can
contact Wonthaggi Police on 5671 4100.
Thieves caught
POLICE have caught the offenders responsible for a spate of thefts from holiday homes in the Bass Coast.
Two males, aged 16 and 17 from Venus Bay, have been interviewed and will be charged on summons with approximately 40 burglaries on holiday homes in the Inverloch and Venus Bay areas.
Business burgled YET another business was broken into by Bin waiting: the owner of Party Planet, Daniel Riccardi, was upset by a racist death threat and an attack on his business.
Bin trouble By Matt Dunn
POLICE are investigating a racist death threat against a Leongatha businessman.
Last Wednesday Daniel Riccardi, owner of Party Planet in McCartin Street, was shocked when he came to work to find the front door of his business sprayed with oil, and a threatening message scrawled on a piece of cardboard. The message read: WOG BOY! Your going to walk out that alley and your going to get smashed. Your mine! I will break your skull if you touch my bins ****head. Bins were also stacked up at the rear of the premises, blocking the back door and damaging an air-conditioner. Mr Riccardi has also been having an ongoing dispute with another business over its placement of bins at the rear of his shop. While Leongatha Police are investigating the attack, they have referred all bin-related matters to South Gippsland Shire Council. Mr Riccardi said the bin dispute had been resolved, at least for now. He described the attack as a “joke”. “I don’t take it too seriously. I don’t take threats lightly, but it doesn’t intimidate me. After all that’s happened, it’s just a joke,” he said.

Council received a $10,000 grant from Keep Australia Beautiful to promote recycling of drink containers in public places. The three month trial will be documented to evaluate the viability of introducing the service on a broader scale. “This grant will enable us to increase the scope of the trial to 26 public place recycling bins instead of 10, improve our data collection and divert even more waste from landfill,” said council’s sustainability manager Geoff McKinnon. South Gippsland is one of 78 local communities nationally to receive this grant from Keep Australia Beautiful. Funded by Coca-Cola, t he Keep Australia Beautiful community grants program is now in its third year and has seen a major injection of additional funds to help increase drink container recycling. According to Peter McLean, Keep Australia Beautiful national executive officer, “The increased funding for 2012 will allow more local communities around the country to play an active role in increasing the recovery and recycling of beverage containers in their local area, help keep them out of landfill and ensure material is recycled and re used. “These grants are assisting local communities to become more sustainable with their waste management,” he added.

Axe falls in Bass Coast
Continued from page 1. Asked if he had considered being mayor, Mr Rankine replied he hadn’t given it much thought. He and his colleagues face an intensive induction course, starting this week and running over two days at the end of next. They met last evening to become acquainted with each other. They will be sworn in tomorrow, will elect their mayor on November 14 and meet formally for the first time on November 21. Mr Duscher said Mr Rankine would make a good councillor, but is disappointed to be leaving local government. “The shire is in a very strong financial position and has strong policies and strategies. There are still some real challenges for the new council – I wish them well.” Mr Brown congratulated Mr Rankine on beating him, said Mr Drew and Mr Phillips would be “excellent” councillors and commended his reform team for proving “beyond doubt that it is possible to remove a council judged not to be acting in the community’s best interests”. Mr Brown said the election was the most exciting and best contested ever held in the shire. Jordan Crugnale won Townsend Ward on the preferences of Roger Thorrowgood, while the reform team’s Murray Hooper polled the strongest primary vote. After seven years representing Townsend Ward and 27 in public life, Ross Smith said he is ready for his next challenge. “This was the most peculiar election I’ve ever been involved in.”
South Gippsland In the South Gippsland election, preferences were the decider in the highly contested Strzelecki Ward. Sitting councillor Bob Newton polled the most primary votes and was followed closely by David Amor. Preference votes, however, did not poll in Mr Amor’s favour, with Lorraine Brunt and Andrew McEwen elected the two remaining councillors. Ms Brunt said she was thankful to unsuccessful candidates Frank Hirst and Ian Nicholson for their preferences, which she believed helped her “over the line”. Coastal-Promontory Ward will remain unchanged with sitting councillors Mohya Davies, Kieran Kennedy and Jeanette Harding all re-elected, with unsuccessful candidate Bruce Beatson narrowly missing out on the third vacancy to Ms Harding. Successful candidates all expressed their anticipation in working with a cohesive group of both experienced and new councillors. Ms Crugnale said she was surprised and overwhelmed to be a councillor. “I’m really looking forward to representing my ward and Bass Coast Council. It’s a great team of councillors that has been elected.” Bass Coast council paid the Victorian Electoral Commission $189,600 to run the 2012 election, while it cost South Gippsland $155,414, with the possibility of a $10,000 refund because there was no contest in Tarwin Valley Ward.
Old and new: the newly elected South Gippsland Shire Council Jeanette Harding, Bob Newton, Kieran Kennedy, Lorraine Brunt, Mohya Davies, Nigel Hutchinson Brooks, Jim Fawcett, Don Hill and Andrew McEwen.
Josh Pyke for mayor
His platform was a bit flimsy, with allusions to “more open mic nights”. But the crowd was ready to give him their support anyway. Pyke has a very persuasive way about him, and is much more interesting than your archetypal grey-suited politician. If part of the deal was him singing at every council meeting, he would romp in.

Meeniyan was Pyke’s last gig on an extensive tour. He will soon hit the studio again. Playing new and old songs – including Private Education and Middle of the Hill – the crowd was enthralled. The only sour note was a ‘look at me’ member of the crowd who insists on coming along to the Lyrebird Arts Council gigs and making a sound that resembles a demented Spanish dancer. Pyke, to his credit, did not miss a beat.

Fair go, Ken As a full-time secondary school teacher, I found Ken Smith’s comments in the last edition of The Star insulting and arrogant.
But as many people well know, arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand. Former plumber Ken Smith thinks he knows what it is teachers actually do. He fuels the disrespect and disregard many people in the community have of teachers by falsely accusing us of abandoning our students. We have taken industrial action—as did the police and nurses before us—as a last resort against a government that seeks to keep ours a misunderstood, underpaid and under-appreciated profession. The premier (and our equally deluded PM) want teachers to compete against each other for pay increases. This means that a teacher given a troubled class of VCAL students is meant to produce competitive results with a colleague who has been allotted a high-performing VCE class. It would create a situation ripe for collegial antagonism and misrepresented grades. The notion of competitive pay stems from a Liberal Party delusion that everyone is born on a level playing field. In many respects, we are not all born equal: some kids have a real struggle to get through their education. Aside from being at times heart-warming and inspiring,
teaching is also often frustrating, emotionally draining work. Now, I’ve mended pipes, dug ditches, fixed toilets and plumbed roofs too Ken – but no work has ever tired me so much as teaching has. Once the bans are lifted, Ken Smith should come and spend a week or two teaching. I know some restless students (who will soon struggle to find a place in the criminally neglected TAFE and training sector) who would love some insights from a ‘real’ worker (as surely, Ken, teachers wouldn’t know what that is). Conservative Victorians have been so bowled over by their own luck in recent years (with their house values doubling, mining boom wages, desal wages etc.) that many have come to believe that good universal schooling is an unnecessary cost on tax payers. No intelligent nation can afford to under-educate their children. Richard Morrison Korumburra.
Export delight I AM proud to share that Victorian producers have again exported a record breaking amount of food and fibre to meet everincreasing global demand. Last financial year almost $9 billion worth of food and fibre left Victoria, $1 billion more than the previous year. This is an outstanding result. Dairy and grain continue
to be Victoria’s leading export commodities. Exported dairy, most of which comes from Western Victoria and Gippsland, was worth $1.9 billion last year. That is a remarkable result and shows the resilience of Victoria’s dairy farmers despite a high Australian dollar. The largest market for Victorian dairy products was Japan, which imported $428 million worth last year. That is a 21 per cent increase on the previous year. Singapore, China, Indonesia and Malaysia were also significant importers of dairy from Victoria, which confirms the large role Asia continues to play for our exporters. As these Asian populations grow, so too will demand for Victorian dairy. The Victorian Coalition Government’s $61.4 million Growing Food and Fibre additional investment in research, development and biosecurity measures will help to further increase our exports and achieve the goal of doubling production by 2030. This is even further complemented by Government-led trade missions such as the recent Super Trade Mission to China led by Premier Ted Baillieu, which involved about 100 Victorian food and beverage businesses and is already generating new orders for Victorian products. Peter Walsh MLA, Minister for Agriculture and Food Security.
Big investment Over the last twelve months the
E D I T O R I A L Shires shake up
The ratepayers have finally had their say.
After plenty of exchanges, advertising, debates and to and froes from candidates in Bass Coast and South Gippsland, the ratepayers have had their say and sent their own message. But depending on whether you’re talking about the Bass Coast Shire or South Gippsland, the messages are somewhat different. In Bass Coast, the Melbourne Cup field was always going to see an interesting contest, especially with the entry of the Reform team. The results didn’t quite go according to the plans of the Reform team. Expecting a clean sweep they were a long way off that, with two successful and their ‘leader’ Alan Brown missing out in the toughest contest against the incumbent John Duscher and the high profile Neil Rankine. Despite ranking the highest in the primary vote, it was the preferences of nearly all the other candidates that sunk Brown in this election. Rankine is quite experienced now in the cut and thrust of politics and he should represent the Shire well. However what the Reform team did achieve was a shake-up and with all but one sitting councillor rolled in the elections; it will be interesting what this young, new blend will do when they knuckle down to business. Voters sent their message to the Bass Coast Shire loud and clear, judging by results, that the Bass Coast is too Wonthaggi centric with too much of the rate base seemingly spent in Wonthaggi and not enough in the jewels in the crown towns of Cowes and Inverloch. The message is that it is time for a change; time to have another look at how Bass Coast does business and if this means looking at administration costs and service provision then so be it. In South Gippsland, it is pretty much steady as she goes, with a number of experienced councillors returned and a few new faces replacing those who have retired. South Gippsland voters have opted for a stable ship and a mix of old and new. Despite an excellent primary vote, the botched preference attempts by David Amor have appeared to go against him considering the high vote of Cr Bob Newton and the fallout between the two. South Gippsland voters will want a council that’s ready to take action on the extremely slow planning process, the most talked about issue amongst the business community. And will Leongatha continue to fall behind as Wonthaggi forges ahead? Only time will tell.

Federal Labor Government has made one of the biggest investments ever in regional health, education, infrastructure and skills development. The first two rounds of the Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) saw $350 million of Federal Government investment leverage more than $1.2 billion in total investment through partnerships – a multiplier of up to four to one. I recently announced that rounds three and four of RDAF will make available another $225 million in funding from the Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT). Round three will see $50 million dedicated specifically to projects in small towns with a population of 30,000 or less, while round four will distribute $175 million to support strategic infrastructure projects. RDAF is driving a cultural change in regional funding by focusing on projects that stack-up, leverage investment partnerships, provide strong regional reach and generate significant commercial investment. The first two rounds of RDAF have demonstrated that we have also changed the culture away from pork-barrelling just before an election – a culture the Coalition has said they’ll return to. RDAF represents a funding model driven by community demands, backed by an independent assessment panel and underpinned by investment partnerships. Our regions have a great sense of community - they don’t just want economic outcomes -
they also want the social and the environmental context driving regional success. Stronger regions make for a strong nation and only the Federal Labor Government has the vision and commitment to ensure that all of the patches in our patchwork economy benefit in growth. I urge community groups and leaders to persist with projects that missed out in the first two rounds and talk to their Regional Development Australia committee to discuss the sorts of projects that should be put forward for consideration. Simon Crean Minister for Regional Australia
Deer trial safe The proposal to trial balloted hunting of hog deer on Snake Island is reasonable, safe, sustainable and years overdue. The safety concerns raised in the media last week by the Snake Island Cattlemen’s Association (SICA) have been directly addressed and discounted in high level specific advice from Victoria Police. SICA have been in receipt of Victoria Police’s advice for some time and have not disputed either its content or the qualification of its authors. Last Wednesday representatives of the hunting community attended a meeting in Foster with SICA to reiterate the safety of balloted hunting and to discuss other aspects of the proposed trial. Like cattle grazing on Snake lsland, hog deer hunting has a long history in coastal South Gippsland. Hog deer hunting has
been carried out without incident in Victoria and more specifically in Corner Inlet since the release of deer at Opossum Creek 147 years ago (around 20 years before cattle were first grazed on Snake Island). Balloted hog deer hunting has been conducted in high conservation value areas for decades and on Sunday Island for half a century. The popularity of deer hunting has increased significantly in recent years and there are now more than 22,000 hunters licensed to take deer in Victoria. Despite deer hunting’s popularity opportunities to legally take hog deer on public land are extremely limited, with fewer than 100 animals successfully hunted every year. It is estimated that up to one third of Victoria’s wild hog deer herd lives on Snake Island. Any limited access to this herd would significantly increase the opportunities for Victoria’s hunters. Previous efforts to conduct balloted hog deer hunting on Snake Island have been blocked politically by SICA despite clear support from government departments and significant support in the local community. Representatives of the hunting community look forward to meeting with members of the local community and with the Snake Island stakeholders in the coming months in order to design a robust and sustainable model for balloted hunting on the Island which is safe, sustainable and beneficial for all.

Jans family get together LOCAL members of the Jans family joined the three generations of family for a special family reunion at the Chifley Hotel in Doveton on October 14. Brothers Albert Jans of Dumbalk, Joe Jans, Hallston and Theo Jans, Meeniyan and their families attended the lunchtime event that brought together members of Jo-
hannes and Catharina Jans (both deceased) who migrated to Australia from Holland in 1955 with their 12 children. At the reunion were their 47 grandchildren and 98 great grandchildren. All of the older generation was present on the day, except brothers Arnold and John and a huge contingent of family members from all around Gippsland and State wide. The day also included 70th birthday cel-
ebrations for Albert Jans, father of Caroline Kovacs of Dumbalk and a family history booklet, put together by Caroline’s cousin Leanne and aunt Henrica Jans. The 98th grandchild was born to Johnny and his wife Simone just before the reunion. Johnny is the son of Theo and Peggy of Meeniyan. A special Dutch windmill cake was made by one of Joe Jans’ daughters Barbara.

Fine weather increases motorcycle risk MORE than 80 per cent of motorcycle crashes in Gippsland occur during the day, good weather conditions and on a dry roads. This is according to RoadSafe Gippsland’s “Motorcycle crash data Fact Sheet” and its Motorcycling through Gippsland and the Great Alpine Road information brochure. RoadSafe Gippsland’s Motorcycle Committee chairperson Daryl Townsend said it was ironical that virtually all motor cycle crashes occurred in perfect conditions. “The better the weather conditions are for riders, the higher is the risk of them coming off their bike,” he said. Many fatalities have occurred on Saturdays and Sundays when the “weekend warriors” go out for a “burn”. “In many cases the riders tend to be in the older age group, with inattentiveness, fatigue and or just a lack of experience
shown to be some of the main contributory causes,” Mr Townsend said. He said the crash data was disturbing, especially considering the terrible trauma a crash can have on the long term health and wellbeing of riders, their families and friends. RoadSafe also encourages riders to look after themselves by making sure they’re wearing appropriate protective clothing, maintain a high level of awareness and have the skills to service their needs when riding. The fact sheet and brochure provide pertinent and helpful information for safer riding in Gippsland and can be found at www.roadsafe.org.au

Truck crashes cutting down LOCAL truck drivers have been banding together to tackle safety in the industry and it is working. The South Gippsland Heavy Vehicle Safety Group, which formed last year, is going from strength to strength according to John Ernst, South Gippsland Shire Council’s representative in the group. “It’s getting bigger than Ben Hur to tell you the truth,” he said. “This is really good because there are more and more companies coming on board.” The group brings trucking companies, Vic Roads, Victoria Police and other parties together to discuss issues in the industry. After recent truck accidents at
Jumbunna and Koonwarra the group has been looking at ways to lower the pressures on drivers. “Something we found with trucks was that most incidents were caused by speeding,” Mr Ernst said. “Companies and the group set out to find out why drivers were speeding and one main reason was because they had to get back to the depot at a certain time. “We suggested take that pressure away by putting drivers on a wage and if they’re going to be late, pay them overtime. “It’s a simple solution and now there’s no excuse for the driver to speed.” A great initiative that the group is using is the ‘near miss’ reporting program. This program encourages truck drivers to report incidents that could
have resulted in accidents. The aim of this is to collate all of the information and see where, when and why these near misses are happening and what can be done to fix the issue. “A lot of the companies have this kind of system in place,” Mr Ernst said. “Because we have VicRoads in the group, once we see patterns emerging then straight away we can get action.” Although many local trucking companies are involved with the group there are still some who aren’t getting the message. “There is just a core group that we’re finding difficult to tackle, which is made up of the farming trucks and the long haul interstaters,” Mr Ernst said. The group will be holding a truck safety day to try and influence this
group and reinforce the safety message to other truck drivers. “What we’re working on at the moment is a truck safety day which will be held at Loch on November 15; all the major players will be involved with that,” Mr Ernst said. “It will be all about truck safety and retro fitting vehicles with new equipment. There will be some displays for drivers and a shaker unit there on the display.” Mr Ernst stresses that even though the police and VicRoads officers will be on site it will not be an enforcement day. “Drivers and companies are encouraged to bring their trucks down and run them over the shaker if they want to,” he said. “There are some roll over presenta-
tions which VicRoads are running and we’ve got McColls Bulk Liquid Transport bringing their simulator down, which demonstrates any scenario for drivers to try and deal with.” Loch has been chosen because of its easy access for truck drivers and their rigs. “Drivers can actually drive in and drive out without having to divert from their route,” Mr Ernst said. “It’s very hard to find a place in Gippsland to park 30 or 40 B-Doubles at any one time without them blocking a highway. “One of the other reasons we’ve chosen Loch is because of the incidents that have happened in the town - it’s a way for us to show the community that it is an issue that we are taking very seriously.”

The band strikes up
THE Wonthaggi Citizens’ Band staged an exhilarating concert on Saturday evening, November 20 at the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre, in front of a near capacity audience. Under the expert guidance of their musical director, Craig Marinus, the 31 musicians put on an exciting performance, playing 15 numbers of varying styles. Highlight numbers included Jurassic Park Theme, Pachelbel’s Canon, contrasting with All That Jazz and Hootenanny, which is one of the most favoured pieces amongst the players. Those in the audience who like the more traditional brass band music, enjoyed the march Slaidburn and the hymn Blaenwern. It was also a memorable evening for 17-year-old principal percussionist, Adam Richards, who was featured in the big band swing number Sing Sing Sing. Band leader Craig was very praiseworthy of the performances of his players. “The annual concerts are a wonderful opportunity for our players to showcase their versatility and playing skills”, said Craig. “Our audiences are so enthusiastic it actually
causes a rise in the level at which our players perform”. Two very talented vocalists, Mitchell Sanders and Tom Green supported the band throughout the evening. Among the numbers sung by Mitchell were Tenterfield Sandler from The Boy From Oz, and Why God Why from the musical Miss Saigon, while Tom Green chose the number Anthem from the musical Chess, as well as the very popular This is the Moment from Jekyll and Hyde. A highlight of the evening was their duet of You Raise Me Up, accompanied by Mitchell Gin on violin. Both Mitchell and Tom were accompanied on piano by Kirk Skinner. As in previous concerts, Josh Hook put down his bass trombone, and astounded the audience with a masterly performance on piano of Chopin’s Ballard No. 1 in G minor. The resulting standing ovation left Josh with no alternative but to return to centre stage to play an encore. As compere, Chris Longstaff kept the night’s entertainment flowing. Both the Band and Chris were introduced by a voiceover from Wonthaggi identity, Kevin John (Andrighetto) from radio
station Magic 1278. The audience was also delighted with the performance of five members of the trainer band, who performed on the big stage for the first time.
The major prize in the raffle was again donated by the RACV Inverloch Resort, with Pam Hanley of Cape Paterson being the lucky winner. A wonderful night’s entertainment
concluded when Fred Heesh laid down his bass and took up the guitar, to lead the audience in the traditional singing of There’s a Part of My Heart in Wonthaggi.

Top award for Capeview WONTHAGGI’S Capeview Mitre 10 has won the 2010 Hardware Association of Victoria and Tasmania (HAVT) Trade Store of the Year Award. Bass MLA Ken Smith congratulated
business owners the Donohue family. He said the presentation, organisation and convenience for customers has contributed to Capeview’s success, which he described as “outstanding”. “Tradesmen can drive into the yard and through the timber store, order and
pick-up their supplies and not get wet. They can see exactly what they are looking for on the racks before loading it on their vehicles and they can conveniently move on to the cashier. “Their needs can be met in the store as they wander down the aisles of
carefully displayed items, comparing well-known brands and viewing newly released products in the market place.” Mr Smith said the set up is streamlined, convenient and time saving. “The range of stock being held is amazing and ensures the staff can
meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner. All this was an integral component of the award process. “Congratulations to Henry and Keith Donohue for the excellent result they achieved at the 2012 HAVT annual award ceremony recently.”

Councillors’ final reflections
ANOTHER council term is over and South Gippsland Shire Councillors took the chance to reflect at their final meeting of their term on Wednesday.
All councillors celebrated their achievements, as well as issues that could have been handled better. Cr Jim Fawcett, who was mayor for the first two years of the term, said he was proud to work with all his fellow councillors. “Each of you in your own way have brought new things to the council,” he said. “There are some things that we’ve done really well, some we’ve done less well and some that we’re not so proud of. “I wish you all the best of luck.” Cr Jeanette Harding agreed with Cr Fawcett and was excited about the future for her town Toora. “A little town has light at the end of the tunnel now thanks to the Toora factory,” she said. Cr Bob Newton thanked all of his fellow councillors. “I’d like to say thank
you to all the councillors for their help,” he said. “And I’d like to thank the staff; I really appreciate the hard work that the staff here do.” Cr Kieran Kennedy reflected on the major achievements of council. “Standout things we have done as a council are the Rural Land Use Strategy and the moratorium of coal seam gas,” he said. “I’m confident that the next council will do a fantastic job.” Cr Jennie Deane said the past four years had been good for local politics. “We are all independent councillors so there’s no party politics,” she said. “That’s extremely good for local politics.” Cr Deane said she enjoyed teasing out the issues with her fellow councillors. Cr Mimmie Ng (nee Jackson) echoed the sentiments of the other councillors. “I feel comfortable in leaving council to the incoming council and staff,” she said. Deputy mayor Cr Mohya Davies, continued the reflective mood.
“It has been a privilege to work with the council and be a face in the community,” she said. “And as deputy mayor it was
great to represent the council at various local government meetings.” Mayor Cr Warren Raabe was the last to speak. “I’d like to thank Cr Fawcett
for his time as mayor in the first two years of the term,” he said. “We have faced some different problems but I am very proud to have been on council in
this time. “I think we have led to a better organisation and feel comfortable passing it on to a new council.”
End of term: South Gippsland Shire Councillors Jim Fawcett, Kieran Kennedy, Jennie Deane, Mohya Davies, Jeannette Harding, Mimmie Ng, Bob Newton and Warren Raabe had their last meeting as a council on Wednesday.

South Gippsland Shire Council briefs WALKERVILLE North was created and an amendment to the boundary of Walkerville South was made after a movement was passed unanimously. The changes were made to reduce confusion for emergency and government services when in the area. Councillor Kieran Kennedy said this was a plus for Walkerville. “Emergency services look forward to being able to do their job efficiently in the Walkerville area,” he said. TWO unused council roads were formally opened on Wednesday when movements were passed unanimously at council. A 235 metre section of unused council road off Foster Mount Best Road, Toora and a 170 metre section of unused government
road off Grip Road, Toora have been opened to public traffic. No submissions were received objecting to either road opening. LEONGATHA Yarragon Road has undergone a name change on two accounts. Council unanimously voted on a movement that renames the section of Leongatha Yarragon Road from Grand Ridge Road to the Allambee Estate Road intersection as ‘Griggs Road’ and renumbers accordingly. The movement also moves to rename the section of Leongatha Yarragon Road from the Allambee Estate Road intersection to the shire boundary as ‘Yarragon Leongatha Road’. COUNCIL will be advertising the lease of the Korumburra
Tourist Park and searching for a new manager/ tenant. Council voted on the decision to advertise on Wednesday and all unanimously supported the motion. Submissions for the position will have to be submitted before November 27. THE South Gippsland Shire Council logo will be used in better ways after a policy was adapted by council on Wednesday. The Use of Council Logo Policy will make sure the council’s involvement in the community is recognised and that the reputation is protected accurately and consistently. The Use of ‘Mayoral’ Policy was also adopted and will ensure the role and image of the mayor in the community, is clearly recognised.
Lucky GP winners TWO lucky people from Fish Creek will be enjoying the Phillip Island Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix this weekend and meeting current Moto GP world champion Jorge Lorenzo. Sonya Denbrok and her son Kyle won two threeday grandstand passes in a Rockstar energy drink promotion run by Evans Petroleum Gippsland in conjunction with Frucor Beverages. Sonya couldn’t believe her luck when Evans Petroleum’s retail manager Scott Hogan rang to tell her the good news. Jorge Lorenzo is sponsored by Rockstar and meeting the champion was part of the promotion prize. Scott Hogan said the tickets alone are worth almost $600, while the chance to meet Jorge Lorenzo could be de-
scribed as priceless. Scott said Evans Petroleum was extremely fortunate to be given the opportunity by Frucor Beverages. To enter, all customers had to do was purchase one or more of the many Rockstar products on offer at Evans stores. Scott, Nathan Lynch the business development manager at Frucor and Jan Hamilton who is the
site leader of Evans’ Fish Creek BP gathered to present the prize to Sonya and Kyle. To help promote Rockstar products, Evans also ran a site incentive for their staff. The Leongatha site won, with congratulations going to Kelsie Schelling and her team for their great promotional effort – which included the use of Facebook.

Leongatha Court House -
100 YEARS
Short trial for young man By Jane Ross THE court was hushed as the young man rose to his feet. A black beanie covered his dark hair, his demeanour slightly insolent. In a loud voice, he pleaded not guilty to committing a robbery, to wit an ipod and one red handbag, from a woman on November 21, 2011. The case, before “Judge” Clive Allsop and associates began at 10am. Five prosecution witnesses and just over an hour later, His Honour, despite having read some impressive references for the defendant, sentenced him to 18 months in gaol, with 12 months to be served before parole could be considered. In a stern voice he called, “Remove
the prisoner please.” Nothing happened until a woman in the body of the court, remembering she had a secondary role as a member of the local constabulary, came forward to comply. The prisoner resisted by standing firmly in one spot, although he had turned around and crossed his wrists waiting for the handcuffs. There weren’t any! Students from Mary MacKillop College had just finished their mock trial. It took place last Thursday as part of the Leongatha Court House centennial celebrations. Mr Allsop, a magistrate in real life, played his role to perfection, allowing the jury, prosecutor and witnesses their human tendencies when they were diffident about what to do
next. But he took the case seriously, impressing on those present the fact that trials like that are going on across the state every day. The building is much more comfortable now than it was when it acted as a magistrate’s court and The Star’s representative sat through the minutiae and distress of people’s lives and offending. The plastic chairs are a step up from the old wooden benches, there’s new carpet on the floor and the walls and gracious ceiling have been painted. In an appropriate twist, one of the circuit magistrates who used to sit in Leongatha Court is now a County Court judge. He is Lance Pilgrim. Leongatha Secondary College held its mock trial on Thursday afternoon.
On trial: accused robber, Anthony Murray, tackles a question from the prosecution, Shobhan Smyrek under the watchful eye of the bench, Anthony Taranto, Magistrate Clive Allsop and James Sorrell and clerk Kate Berlangieri.

He noted Australia was a country without corrupt governments and able to change government without violence. Mr Broadbent did, however, offer a light-hearted warning to the nine new citizens to be. “To join us is to join a most unusual country,” he quipped. Such ceremonies are usually held in the council chamber but last week’s event was relocated to Leongatha Court House as part of that building’s centennial celebrations. Mr Broadbent stood in the original witness box, swearing on the Bible to tell the truth. He read a message from Immigration Minister Chris Bowen welcoming the new citizens to Australia and recalled how the first Australian prime minister to lead a majority government, Andrew Fisher, was himself a migrant from Scotland.

The Minister for Planning has approved Amendment C61 to the South Gippsland Planning Scheme. The Amendment came into operation on 11 October 2012 after being published in the Government Gazette. The Amendment applies the Public Acquisition Overlay (PA02) to a section of the north side of Strzelecki Highway between the intersections of Cropley Road and Stubbers Lane, rezones portion of Crown Land to a Road Zone 1 and amends the purpose of the PA02. A copy of the Amendment can be inspected, free of charge, at the Department of Planning and Community Development website at www. dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/publicinspection and free of charge, during office hours, at the offices of South Gippsland Shire Council, 9 Smith Street, Leongatha.

Nigel Hutchinson-Brooks, chairman of the court house centennial committee, said the building’s centenary also occurred in the same year as the band’s 120th anniversary. He noted photos of the band over the years had been re-framed for display in the court house, and noted two paintings by Koonwarra artist Bob Hickman showing the exterior of the court house and the band inside the court house rehearsing, as a record of how the court house is used today. Mr Hutchinson-Brooks noted he himself was a migrant from England. “Citizenship is a really significant activity in one’s life,” he said.

Concert entertains all HARMONIES filled the Warrawee Senior Citizens Club last Tuesday when the Inverloch Masonic Fidelity Association held its fourth annual A Concert for All. Students from the Inverloch Kongwak Primary School, ranging from Preps to Grade 6, performed a wide variety of songs to a crowded hall. All the proceeds of the concert are donated back to the school,
with $1900 already raised over the past three years. Association secretary and MC for the day, Eddie Walsh, said they hoped to raise $1000 at this year’s’ concert, but their final total surpassed expectations, with a total of $1500 raised on the day. “We were absolutely blown away,” he said. “We made a presentation to the principal, Wendy, and I held up a piece of paper with $1450 on it, but at the last minute a woman heading
out the door said her granddaughter was going to be starting at the school next year and gave us a $50 donation. It was quite remarkable.” Mr Walsh said the concert had continued to grow, with around 200 tickets to the concert sold this year. School principal Wendy Caple said the students were “singing for trees”, as the money raised would go toward planting three Norwegian Maple trees in the school grounds.

Island honours Stoner
Thrill: the hundreds and hundreds of bikes that came through McCartin Street, Leongatha on Thursday afternoon provided a spectacle for those who lined the street, waving as the riders tooted.
MOTORCYCLISTS roared through South Gippsland to cheer two time MotoGP world champion, Casey Stoner in his quest for his sixth consecutive win on his favourite Phillip Island Grand Prix track. Last Thursday Stoner was on a slice of the Island track, with the high speed Turn Three to be now known as “Stoner Corner”. The naming, announced by Andrew Fox of circuit owners, the Linfox Property Group, is in recognition of Stoner’s sensational road racing career.
“It’s a place that really gets the adrenaline flowing and I think most riders will say they love this track,” Stoner said. “Turn three is probably my favourite one in the world. I am almost flat out in fifth gear through there and that is pretty damn fast and it really gets your blood flowing that’s for sure,” he said. Stoner, who will retire at the end of 2012, made his final MotoGP appearance at Phillip Island last weekend in round 17 of the championship. Circuit chief, Fergus Cameron, who has managed the circuit since 1984, also acknowledged Stoner’s tremendous achievements at the Island.
“This year we celebrate the circuit’s 60th year and are about to embark on a $3 million track resurfacing and upgrade,” Mr Cameron said. “In the entire 60 years, there are only two riders who have been recognised in this way and that is the man who brought international motorcycle racing to life in Australia, Wayne Gardner, with Gardner Straight and five times world champion, Mick Doohan who was gifted Doohan Corner. “Casey has set Phillip Island alight, and thrilled our fans time and time again. We congratulate you and now with Stoner Corner your performances at the Island will always be hailed and remembered.”

Tea with meaning By Sarah Vella VENUS Bay Community House hosted an afternoon DisabiliTEA last Thursday, with the help of the Cope family and Federal member for McMillan, Russell Broadbent.
Adam Cope, along with his father Les Cope, gave a presentation explaining why the National Disability Insurance Scheme is important to every Australian. Les Cope explained that the changes to current practice proposed by the NDIS
would mean quite a lot to Adam. “The NDIS will allow Adam to continue building on his strengths and weaknesses and to realise his dreams,” Mr Cope said. “It would give him the means to have hope.” Mr Cope said the current funding is a band-aid system and that in order to obtain support, there needs to be a crisis situation. “The NDIS will attach funding to the individual, not to the carers as respite,” he said. Adam said the NDIS would “enable my personal plan to become a reality”. He is a published poet and accomplished artist and the
scheme would help him to pursue those interests. Mr Cope said it was the first DisabiliTEA they had hosted, but it was the third time Adam had given his speech, this time with a local aspect. “For a while now, Adam has been coming to Venus Bay and staying with his support workers in the community,” he said. “Earlier this year, with the help of EACH Social and Community Health, we were successful in obtaining a grant to build accommodation for Adam and one or two others in Venus Bay. “When the home is built, Adam will be able to be totally independent and part

of the community. He wants to live in Venus Bay, so our mission at the moment is to make that happen.” Russell Broadbent said there are a lot of members like himself who talk the talk, but also walk the walk when it comes to disability services. “We will have to lose other things, but there are a lot of things we can afford to lose in order to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme,” Mr Broadbent said. “Right now, in this nation, we can afford to have a deficit. The NDIS would be a world first that other countries can take the lead from.” Mr Broadbent passionately asked that the voting public not let the states have a fight over implementing the scheme. “We want a co-operative event between the states, to work through the process together so we can get to the point we want to get to,” he said. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful, if everywhere I went in the world, I could tell them all about the NDIS and how it came about.”
Get together: Les and Adam Cope, Russell Broadbent and Matthew Huby at the DisabiliTEA held at the Venus Bay Community House last Thursday. Matthew, from Venus Bay, is the son of Adam’s first support worker.
Nice time: local ladies, Annette Watkin from Venus Bay and Lyn Lane from Lower Tarwin have a chat with Peta Cope, Adam’s mother, at the afternoon DisabiliTEA last week.

ebrates the 25th anniversary of jazz amongst the art, with band Soul Purpose doing the honours. Sunday’s Garden walks will see five country gardens opened as part of the exhibition. These exquisite gardens all have their own hidden charms and will make for a delightful trip around Meeniyan. Don’t forget that the exhibition will be open all weekend as well, in the Meeniyan Hall. The exhibition has come a long way from the first back in 1972. This was originally a fundraiser for the Meeniyan and Stony Creek Fire Brigade to finance the construction of a new fire station. The concept of an Art and Craft Exhibition and wine and cheese night was a very bold move at that time. Of the original organising committee only Colin Young, John Mackie and Reg Hannay are still with us. Barry Delany, Bob Burge, Keith Beech and Len Taylor have all passed on. In this first show were 31 exhibitors, 141 paintings, four potters and a jeweller. Stands and hessian were lent by the Leongatha Gallery, Leongatha High School and Leongatha Table Tennis Association. In 1983 the exhibition was restricted to just Gippsland artists and catalogues were commercially printed for the attendees. In 1987 the Jazz among the Arts section of the exhibition started.
This is still a vital part of the exhibition 25 years on. Garden walks had been introduced by Chris Powney in 1998 as a fundraiser for the hall and were held on the weekend after the exhibition. In 2001 five gardens were included, with the profits still going to the Meeniyan Hall redevelopment. Profits from the show went to the CFA, while The Progress Association also purchased more of the new stands and screens. In 2002 the garden walk profits went towards work in Tanderra Park; the event has continued on to the present day with June Metcalf organising it since 2005. “Our past committee members and volunteers cannot all be named but we wish to thank them,” current organiser Tarnya Wilson said. “We must acknowledge the constant support of these volunteers. “Our final acknowledgement must be firstly to our loyal artists. Without their talent and dedication the exhibition would not be possible.”Several years of hard work by the Meeniyan Progress Association has kept this fantastic event going. Make sure you duck into the Meeniyan hall this long weekend or contact Tarnya Wilson on 5664 7473 for more information and tickets for various events.

Happy 12 birthday! THE farmers’ market at Koonwarra is setting another milestone this week, with its 12th birthday celebration this Saturday, November 3, at Memorial Park and hall in Koonwarra.
For those seeking fresh, wholesome, local produce, the monthly Koonwarra market has become one not to miss. Grab a cup of coffee and have a lazy Saturday morning wandering from stall to stall, filling your bag with locally grown vegetables, fruit and handmade gourmet delights direct from producers. More than 30 producers will delight, with an enticing assortment of produce presented by a network of Southern Gippsland’s farmers, growers and specialty food makers. Shopping for freshly picked fruit, vegetables and handmade gourmet produce is healthy and often educational. The market will again have its popular birthday raffle, drawn every 45 minutes from 9.15am onwards, giving shoppers the opportunity to win prizes of gift vouchers worth up to $30 donated by participating stallholders. There will be over $500 worth of produce voucher giveaways. Since its inception, the Koonwarra market has rapidly developed a reputation for being a friendly community minded gathering of locals and visitors to the region. The market is a not for profit association and is run by a dedicated network of local farmers, growers and specialty food producers. Over the past year, eight local community groups have been assisted by

this farmers market. The attractive park venue also continues to benefit from the marketplace initiated infrastructure improvements, with more to come in the near future. Koonwarra’s market is an accredited member of the Victorian Farmers Market Association, the leading representative of markets, which assures customers that all producers are authentic, and not resellers or wholesalers. Products that are not available in supermarkets are always a feature, with many unique items. Koonwarra’s market charter allows for minimal duplication of products, thus capitalising on a wider variety of products from the region. Garden-fresh local food is made available to consumers and it is a great bonus for the customer to be able to talk to the growers and makers of the products on offer. This farmers’ market has a well deserved reputation for connecting and strengthening the local community’s sustainable food production, economy and well-being. The farmers’ market concept also helps to reduce ‘food miles’ from producer to consumer whilst stimulating, promoting and distributing local fresh food from primary producers, growers, hobby farmers, home gardeners and small specialty food makers. The local economy also benefits from the employment opportunities made available on small farms previously considered non-viable. Going to Koonwarra’s monthly farmers market is also good for the principles of an ecological farm environment; organic and

This has been fuelled by shoppers becoming environmentally conscious and concerned about the lack of nutritional quality in the food we eat. Customers are increasingly apprehensive about chemicals in food and GM free status, whilst also rejecting much of the mass produced food with its lack of taste.

Three friends find themselves invited to the wedding of an old high school acquaintance. She is under the impression that they were all good friends, but the three would-be bridesmaids considered her more or less a pity friend. Imagine then their shock when a woman they called 'Pig Face' in high school ends up being the first among them to get married! All three of them take the moment to evaluate where they are in life, with the realization that all three pretty much peaked in high school.

HE Springs Estate subdivision fills a great need for larger allotments in the local market.
Ranging in size from 4001m2 up to 5889m2, (or 1.47 acres) these blocks will suit those requiring space for extensive landscaping and for sheds and equipment, whilst still being located in close proximity to town. The blocks are fully serviced and the boulevard curbed and channelled. An elevated block with views over Nerrena to the east is available and although the remaining blocks are gently undulating, the views are quite surprising. Families will have the convenience of a school bus stop on the Highway, at Boag’s Road, thus alleviating the problem of transporting children to and from school. There are only six blocks left and are becoming increasingly harder to obtain this close to town so secure one for your future now.

Exceptional rural property goes to auction I
N the real estate agent’s lexicon, properties best suited to sale by public auction are those possessing unique and highly soughtafter attributes. Such is the case with the renowned grazing property ‘Berry Vale’ which features approximately 24 hectares (60 acres) of Berrys Creek flats among its lush, highly productive and consistent 207 hectare (513 acres) layout. According to Barry Redmond of SEJ Real Estate in Leongatha, selling in conjunction with Pat Rice and Hawkins of St Kilda Road, Melbourne, Berry Vale is one of the most magnificent farming properties he has had the pleasure of presenting to the market, and that’s saying something for such an experienced agent. “With its long Berrys Creek dual frontage, the property offers an outstanding balance of heavy carrying flats and undulating to hill pasture country complemented by an exceptional brick residence in a magnificent Englishgarden setting. “As significant rural properties go, in the very well regarded Leongatha-Mirboo North district, this would take a lot of beating,” said Barry. Located 24 kilometres from Leongatha and six kilometres from Mirboo North, the property is renowned for fattening bullocks and lambs but is just as well regarded for its style and layout. Featuring the valuable creek flats, the property is highly productive throughout, with pastures predominantly of rye and clover which has an excellent fertiliser history. The property is subdivided into 15 main paddocks where water is abundant, including an outstanding and

Selected initially by the vendors as their ideal “retiring off the land� home, with a quadruple-sized garage to appease this retiring farmer’s shed needs, the property offers minimal maintenance, easy access around the house, and space to raise children, lambs, chickens and vegetables! Behind a high privacy hedge, a paved driveway with turning apron introduces the house, where you drive straight into the 8m x 10m (approx) lockup garage, with the convenience of direct internal access to an entry foyer. Once inside, light walls
and tall ceilings complement glass exterior doors to living areas and bedrooms, providing a calm indoor-outdoor environment. environment A bright kitchen features dishwasher, expansive bench top/breakfast bar, and pantry – all well laid out for the cooking enthusiast. The kitchen sink has the pre-requisite garden window where you can keep an eye on who is coming and going. The kitchen overlooks a comfortable sitting room with wood fired heater. Lounge and dining room adjoins, with ample sitting area, and space for the wall units and a decent dining table. There are four bedrooms (or three plus a generous study near the entrance). An en suite and big walk-in robe complement the spacious
main bedroom. Its position at the furthest end of the house is ideal for homes where mum or dad is a shift worker. The laundry is big, with enough space to do the ironing. A split system air conditioner, rendered brick construction and the wood heater all contribute effectively to climate control.
Outside, an undercover paved verandah provides for sheltered outdoor entertaining on the north side. There are lawns and shrubberies, and the balance of the third-acre allotment is northerly sloping lawns and beautiful English trees which are a riot of colour in autumn. Good utility areas and
space for vehicle access to the rear are there if needed. Here is an opportunity to own a big centrally located block, situated in Sawye Street that was once “town edge� but is fast becoming an oasis in the town centr thanks to the new housing developments that are bur geoning to its west.

Make yourself at home THIS private and comfortable low maintenance property is located within an easy walking distance to the town centre. It is clad in vinyl so will never require painting. The surrounding lawns and gardens are also manicured and low maintenance. Inside, the open family living areas feature a sparkling near new kitchen, meals area and formal lounge. There is plenty of storage space in the kitchen, with a fold down utility cupboard and two pantries (one a walk-in.) The adjoining meals area leads through a central office/study space and into the cosy lounge room. Roman fold-up blinds, a painted feature wall and patterned ceiling add character to the room. Timed ducted heating ads warmth, while ceiling fans throughout the home

The bathroom has been partially renovated, with new flooring and vanity cabinet. There are two toilets, one conveniently located off the laundry to the rear of the home.

IF YOU find yourself in bed before midnight this November 17, you can be guaranteed you’re missing out on one of the biggest nights to rock Wonthaggi in decades.
There’ll be no better time to channel your inner Sandy and Danny, and dust off those dancing shoes for Wonthaggi CFA‘s first annual ’50s Rock’n’Roll Dance. Classic country rockabilly stars Billy O’Neill and the Headliners will keep the dance floor swinging and jiving with hits from the ’50s and ’60s all night, but the music won’t be the only thing taking you for a trip down memory lane. The dress code is strictly vintage; whip out your old poodle skirt, oil up your leather jackets and don’t forget the Brylcream! And dressing the part isn’t the only way you’ll look good at the dance. A selection of hot rods will be on call throughout
the evening and for a small donation, you can make sure you arrive in style too. Held at the Wonthaggi Town Hall (just like the old days!), the dance will not only raise vital funds for the CFA, but give you a chance to let your hair down and party like it’s the 1950s! Tickets are $50 each and selling fast, so make sure you get yours before it’s too late and get ready for a rockin’ good time. They are available for purchase from South Coast Real Estate, 2/23 Murray St, Wonthaggi and South Coast Decor, 120 McKenzie Street, Wonthaggi, or by calling 0423 971 465 during business hours. Supper will be provided on the night, while drinks will be available at bar prices. Doors open at 7.30pm, with hot rod pick-ups available between 6.30pm and 8.30pm – bookings are essential. The night will also include prizes for best dressed and best dancer, as well as door prizes.

**** “SEE my dishpan hands?” Darryl Hunt laughed as he placed a stack of dishes in the sink in the Woorayl Golf Club kitchen last week. Wearing bright, floral aprons, Darryl and seven other men were taking part in the golf club’s annual housewives’ day. This is a day were the men must prepare and serve the food, while the ladies have a day away from the kitchen.
DARCY Jack Hengstberger was born on October 18 at Leongatha Memorial Hospital to Brett and Nikarla of Koonwarra. Darcy is a brother for Kyle, 13, Izak, 11, Bodi, 7, and Macen, 2.

WOORAYL Shire stands to lose $143,000 in tourism grants now that it has opted out of the Gippsland Regional Tourist Authority Ltd. Authority chairman Hugh Hendry, said that was the amount allocated to the shire from the State ministry of Tourism.
MAX Pieter Van Velzen is the first son for Robert and Jackie of Kardella South, and a brother for Charlie, 9, and Anika, 2. He was born on October 19 at Leongatha Memorial Hospital.
10 years ago, October 29, 2002 LOVERS of fine wine will soon be able to enjoy a wine trail through South Gippsland. Sixteen local vineyards will be part of the trail that me-
anders through the stunning South Gippsland countryside. **** OUR economy is set to reap the benefits from an international deal signed between South Gippsland Shire and China recently. The deal will see thousands of dairy cattle exported from the shire in a deal worth millions of dollars to farmers and the community for years to come. 5 years ago, October 30, 2007 SANDY POINT is in for a feast of movie mania with the filming of a multi-million dollar film on location in the town and at Wilsons Promontory to commence in November. The filming of a remake of the 1977 movie thriller Long Weekend will see international stars Jim Caviezel and Claudia Karvan in the lead roles. **** FOSSIL tracks belonging to large, carnivorous dinosaurs, discovered at a coastal
location about five kilometres from Inverloch, Inverloch have made international headlines during the past week. Belonging to a species known as Theropods, the discovery of three footprints occurred over the past year. 1 year ago, November 1, 2011 A COAL truck blocked the Korumburra-Wonthaggi Road at Lance Creek yesterday (Monday). The tip-truck and trailer combination rolled after the driver momentarily lost control around 10am. The trailer fishtailed into a roadside drain, causing the truck to turn on its side, and lose its load of coal. **** AFTER complete domination of the Gippsland athletics championships, Mirboo North Secondary College took high hopes to the state athletics event at Albert Park recently. Those hopes were rewarded, with the team of 14 competitors bringing home five gold, a silver and five bronze medals.

If you are interested in aged care, home and community care, childcare, disability or community services this course will help you make the right choice.
Meals roster GOU180020
The delightful Julie came the other day, to help with cleaning, and, as she went around the house looking at some artwork, she suddenly realized that I write the column, and asked for a simple quiche recipe for a busy woman. Quiche is great for summer – light and nutritious, especially if you use fresh ingredients, or vegetables from the garden. So I will do a few quiche recipes. Please make your own pastry. It takes one minute and tastes so superior, plus it doesn't have preservatives or chemicals in it. And, Julie, as you like spring onion, you could use that instead of the onion, and add a few chopped chives into the mix.
Rd 1: Rotary Club (all week); Rd 2: S. Birch (Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri), SG Specialist School (Wed); Rd 3: Leongatha Community Pre Schools (all week) will be responsible for the delivery of meals on wheels, the week beginning November 5, 2012.

Gardens open for exhibition FIVE quite different country gardens will be opened as part of Meeniyan’s 40th annual Art, Craft and Photography Exhibition. They will be on display as part of a garden walk to coincide with the exhibition. One of the gardens is quite special and was part of the first garden walk back in 1998. Since then, the property has only had two owners but undergone a dramatic makeover. The views from all country properties are spectacular. Two of the properties are linked by a short walk of 300 metres through an extended conservation area that has restored roadside bush by pro-
tecting old trees, and re-vegetating gullies and steep and eroded areas. Dotted amongst the banksias are many metal sculptures made from barbed wire, tractor parts and other bits and pieces. This mainly Australian native garden hosts many hollowed out logs for the numerous birds, who share this part of the wildlife corridor. Our other gardens have their own special features for you to explore and enjoy. Tickets are available at the Meeniyan Hall on Sunday, November 4, from 10am to 4pm. Many other events are on around town over the exhibition weekend. For more information contact Tarnya Wilson on 5664 7473.

Rose show time in Leongatha A sea of colour will be seen on entering Memorial Hall, Leongatha on November 9 and 10.
The 41st annual Leongatha Rose Spectacular will be set up and viewed over two days by hundreds of people. Leongatha is the only
rose show in Victoria which still has old fashioned roses displayed; most rose shows feature hybrids. An important aspect of the Leongatha Rose Spectacular is that all proceeds are donated to Vision Australia. Co-ordinator this year June McIndoe, said any-
l 41st annua
Leongatha Rose Spectacular
one was most welcome to enter. “People can bring their roses in the night before, on Thursday, between 6pm-9pm and we can put them in a category and help with arrangement where necessary,” Mrs McIndoe said. There are about 60 to 70 clients of Vision Australia in the area, so it is a great charity to be raising money for. There is a self-help group operating in the area
and they meet for regular dinners or afternoon teas about once a month. The Red Cross will provide lunch and refreshments, plus there will be rose displays, plant stalls and potted roses for sale. People can attend and view the spectacular display for themselves on Friday, November 9 from 12noon-5pm and Saturday, November 10, from 9.30am-4pm. Admission is $5 with proceeds to Vision Australia.
The official opening takes place at 2pm on the Friday with Vision Australia’s acting CEO Jan Chisholm in attendance. In conjunction with the rose show there will be open gardens operating on
Friday from 10am-4pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. Collect information on who has their gardens open from the hall during the rose show or call Josie 5657 3292 or Heather 5662 4917.

Spring Garden Guide
Colour and scents combine ONCE again we’ve hit the busy time of year in the garden centre because, like all gardens, there are extra weeds, plants
need feeding and lots of repotting to do. It is also an exciting time because at this time of year we see many new introductions. There is a huge range of plants in flower and some exceptional scented plants as well. Some plants are capable of perfuming the whole garden, especially when the evenings are
warm. Over winter the boronias will do this whereas at this time of year the best choices are heliotrope (or cherry pie), lilacs, jasmine and portwine magnolia. Others have delightful perfume if brushed against or when the flowers are sniffed such as roses. At this time of year it is nearly sensory overload with the range of colour and
Hints for growing tomatoes and carrots November is classically tomato time and the choice is endless. All colours from pink, yellow, green, black and the classic red like old favourites such as Grosse Lisse, Ky1, Apollo or the smaller cherry; varieties like sweet bite or Tommy toe which has been voted by some as the best tasting variety. The truss varieties are also very popular. No matter what the variety, any home grown tomato is always superior in taste to store bought ones. Tomatoes are relatively easy to grow but there are a few tricks you need to know to grow them successfully. Do not grow tomatoes in the same spot each year, rotate the areas. Select a sunny spot. After planting do not overfeed; otherwise you will get big leafy plants and poor crops. Tomatoes have a low need for high nitrogen fertilisers. Give each seedling a good pinch of sulphate of potash and water in well. This mineral promotes early flowers, toughens foliage and gives plants more pest and disease resistance. Do not feed again until tomatoes are flowering then feed regularly with a tomato food high in potash Space tomato plants,
especially vigorous varieties, about a metre apart when planning out and stake when planting. Tomatoes can also be grown successfully in large pots with under planting of basil and/or marigolds for companion planting. Water regularly, especially as the plants are growing, and then decrease after the fruit has set. Do not wet the leaves in the late afternoon, as wet leaves during the cold of night can cause fungal or bacterial problems. Other popular vegetables at this time of year include corn, beans, capsicums eggplant, silverbeet, beetroot and carrots to name a few. There is still time to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes are also available. A real novelty with immense health benefits is the purple carrot. Available as seed and in pots (though carrots are much better sown as seed) the purple carrots are the original carrots from the ancient Persia and are considered the next superfood. An Australian study has shown the ancient carrot variety is high in anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants. Many people have trouble raising carrots and here are a few tips. Mix one packet of carrot seed with three handfuls of sand and three drops of

varieties available, one with golden foliage and another with white flowers. Heliotrope grows to about 60cm and makes a wonderful addition to mixed plantings, fragrance gardens or container gardens. Try it in a hanging basket at nose level to really appreciate the scent or plant a big pot with several plants and place on a deck or patio to enjoy the fragrance in the evening after a long day. Another old fashioned perfumed plant that is making a big comeback is lilac. There are many varieties of lilacs. Syringea vulgaris is the common lilac and this is always sold grafted onto privet, if not grafted this shrub will sucker terribly and often get out of control. Their colours range from white and creamy yellow to lilac, blue and purple and may be single or double. All are sweetly scented, are tough, hardy and deciduous. Lilacs are happy in most well drained soils and benefit from some added lime or dolomite. Prune by removing their old flowering wood immediately after
pears white and drops early. To control, spray in spring with a confidor spray or use confidor tablets. Mollis azaleas thrive in well drained, humus rich, slightly acid soil. Mulch them well at the time of planting and then each spring. This will help retain moisture over the warmer months and prevent damage to roots, as they are fairly shallow. Heliotrope or cherry pie is a delightful old-fashioned addition to the home garden that everyone should seek out and try. The fragrance of this plant is an intoxicating vanilla-cinnamon-fruit scent that is most noticeable in the morning and early evening. I have this plant in my garden and though it likes a position in full sun it survives well in a shady area and flowers nonstop nearly 12 months of the year, emitting a delightful fragrance. The only downside is that the flowers do not last well when cut. The foliage is dark green and crinkled and flowers are produced in clusters of violet to mauve flowers. There are several

Voltage Yellow is a bright unique clear yellow that will stop traffic that is excellent for garden bed plantings, large baskets and containers. Osteospermum Serenity Rose Magic has beautiful daisy-like flowers which open bronze-salmon and mature to deep rose-pink over time. This plant is compact with long lasting colour. Also popular are the new double varieties that are long flowering and make a great impact in the garden or in pots. Other new introductions this year are some great new colours in verbenas and some old fashioned favourites, dianthus, sometimes better known as pinks. Flowers are pink, white, or red with white swirls on the flowers. The dianthus has a lovely spicy fragrant scent to the flowers and makes a welcome addition to posies.

kerosene. This will improve the strike rate and keep earwigs and other underground predators away. Or place a drop of kerosene into a packet of carrot seed and reseal the packet for 30minutes to protect the seeds prior to shooting. Mix the seeds with pepper to deter underground predators. Mix the seed with Epsom salts to improve germination rates. Cover the furrows with sand to enable tender shoots to push through. Sow the seed two days before the full moon (as the moon wanes and the earth darkens the roots are stimulated to multiply). When the moon is new is also a good time as the carrots will have a chance to establish a good root system before the ground activity which takes place three weeks from the new moon Use fresh seed.
perfume in the garden. From the vibrant colours of the mollis azaleas to the subtle delicate blooms of the flowering crab apple ionensis plena which makes an impressive show in the main street of Mirboo North. Mollis azaleas are the real show offs of the plant world. These are fairly twiggy shrubs 1.5 to 2.5m tall until they come out in a mass of colour. The colour range is a glorious one, from soft pastels to riotous reds and outrageous orange, and being deciduous they seem to suffer from less pests and diseases than evergreen azaleas suffer. One of the main pests azaleas suffer from is lace bugs which are small soft bodied insects with large lacy wings which cling to the underside of the leaf surface. The bugs are so small they are usually not detected until damage is noticed on the leaves when the leaves develop pale coloured speckling on their upper surfaces, giving leaves a greyish cast. When damage is severe enough, the whole leaf ap-

A major outcome of this year’s gathering from 12 countries was that data worldwide shows that Galloways can produce high quality and yield of beef, efficiently. “This information is to be collected and correlated into a website, making it available to breeders, students and the general beef communities around the world,” Mr Cock said.

Tracks open for long weekend FOREST and park tracks and roads across Gippsland will reopen in time for the Melbourne Cup weekend. The roads and tracks are closed temporarily to protect them from damage during the wetter months each year as part of the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and Parks Victoria’s seasonal road closure program. Tony Dowler, DSE’s state-wide roading and bridges planning manager, said: “These roads and tracks were closed over winter and spring for public safety and to protect track surfaces as well as water quality and the forest environment. “Most of the closed roads and tracks which we are re-opening on cup weekend are part of the regular seasonal closures but some are also being opened after the completion of repairs to damage caused by past weather events including storms and flooding.” Parks Victoria Four Wheel Drive program manager Darin Lynch said: “It is important that motorists drive safely when re-

entering areas of state forest and parks following the closures. “In areas of the North East and Gippsland in particular, many of our parks and forests have been affected by significant rainfall and wind damage, and while we have made every effort to ensure visitors have access for the opening weekend, we advise drivers to be prepared to come across fallen trees and other debris in some places. “We are also urging Victorians to drive safely and responsibly. We don’t want the surface of our roads and tracks churned up unnecessarily when they are wet because this can cause problems for everyone who needs to use them throughout the rest of the year.” Visitors are encouraged to use the information sources referred to below to obtain the most up to date information on access into forest and park areas before they travel.

The 100 grown empty heifers sold to the cheaper trend along with the Friesian and crossbred manufacturing steers and almost all categories of cows. The best heavy weight bulls were slightly dearer. The best yearling grass steers sold from 176c to 200c, with the 500kg to 600kg drafts from 193c to 195c/kg. The best yearling grass heifers made from 180c to 205c with the secondary lines from 140c to 175c/kg. The four score grown steers sold between 186c and 194c, with the secondary three score lines from 182c to 186c/kg. Bullocks sold from 172c to 192c/kg. Plainer muscled straight bred grown steers and bullocks made from 170c to 178c/ kg. Friesian and crossbred manufacturing steers made mostly between 143c and 173c/kg. Grown empty heifers sold mostly from 132c to 162c/kg. Plain condition and light weight dairy cows made from 59c to 122c/kg. Good condition heavy weight dairy cows made between 118c to 140c/kg. Good condition heavy weight beef cows made from 133c to 150c/kg. Most heavy bulls sold from 138c to 153c/kg. This week’s sale draw - October 31 and November 1: 1. Landmark, 2. Elders, 3. Rodwells, 4.

million Cattle Underpass Scheme to support the installation of road underpasses for livestock, creating an easy and safer option for cattle crossings on country roads.
Agriculture and Food Security Minister Peter Walsh announced the new funding program at the Elmore Field Days last week. “The new Cattle Underpass Scheme (CUPS) represents an evolution of the former Stock Over/Underpass Safety (SOURS) program introduced in August 2000,” Mr Walsh said. “Under the new Cattle Underpass Scheme, Victorian livestock farmers will be able to apply for up to $50,000 or 33 per cent of the cost of construction of the road underpass for cattle.

Working out the working dog
At Easter, Patch was welcomed on to the farm. A dog of working bloodlines, Patch was rescued from St Albans in Melbourne, to become a new family pet. “We like working dogs, they are intelligent and seem to have a sense of humour almost,” Marian said. “However the working dog blood must run thick through his veins and a few weeks ago, he thought the yearlings looked like a good target. “It took me over half an hour to extricate him from the paddock. And on that same afternoon, he decided to round up my six-year-old on her bike, even having the odd nip at her.” It was then that Marian realised, Patch may not be a dog suitable to farm life with her and her family. But, as he was a rescue dog, saved from death row once already, it did not seem right to her to send him back there. “That afternoon, I decided to give Paul Macphail a call and 20 minutes later, we were
down at his yards for a lesson,” she said. “Paul quickly gave an assessment of Patch, pronouncing him as a “tad arrogant” before swiftly putting him in his place.” “I realised then I may have been too easy on him.” After about 40 minutes with Mr Macphail, after not even knowing what a sheep was, Marian was surprised to see Patch in the yards, working like he had done it all before. “I was so impressed. After a few more training sessions at home, instead of tugging on the lead, he now sits happily and watches me walk away,” she said. “He has gone from being a dog in the dog house, to the golden dog.” Marian said that working dog training is not just about having a dog that is handy with the sheep or cattle, but that is safe for both the farm and family. “I have trained working dogs before, but this is the first time I have met this particular personality. All of the dogs I have met have been more humancentric and worked for the pleasure of pleasing people,” she said. “Patch is much more like a cat. He tends to come when he feels like it, and do his own thing, which is probably where Paul’s
assessment stemmed from. “I have gone from being petrified of him around my little people, to being completely confident with him.” Mr Macphail said Marian probably came to see him in what could be described as a desperate state. “Her main problem with

a plan to get Patch working the dairy cows.” Mr Macphail said a good start for Patch is some quiet sheep, where he can then progress on to cattle in a controlled situation. “For now though, I am trying to persuade Marian to enter the encourager event at the dog trials this weekend,” he said.
Good dog: Marian with little Alex and Patch the working dog, who is proving to be a bit of a handful at times. Luckily, Marian has Paul Macphail to give her a helping hand.

Patch was with her children, he was getting a bit nippy,” Mr Macphail said. “So we went through a program on how to be a stronger, more assertive boss. Then we gave him a run on the sheep and were amazed at how quickly he took to it. “His natural ability really shone through. We now just need to establish

INVERLOCH JETTY REPAIRS Gippsland Ports advises that repairs to Inverloch Jetty are scheduled to commence in the week after the Melbourne Cup weekend and continue for two weeks over which time the jetty will be closed to public access. The works are necessary to repair a section of the jetty that has been damaged by erosion around the jetty piles. A section of jetty approximately 12 metres long next to the boat ramp will be demolished and rebuilt on longer piles. During working hours one lane of the boat ramp and part of the car park next to the jetty will be closed to provide access for the contractor to perform the repairs. Outside working hours and on weekends both lanes of the boat ramp will be open for public use. Gippsland Ports is continuing to seek funding for further improvement to this jetty including the construction of an additional high level landing to improve access for jetty users at high tide. Gippsland Ports apologises for any inconvenience that these essential works may cause. The works have been planned for some time, however were postponed so as not to impact on boat ramp and jetty access over the Melbourne Cup weekend. For further information on this project please contact Gippsland Ports on 5150 0500.

Olympian coaches local riders SIXTEEN Pony Club riders in the West Gippsland zone were fortunate to be given the opportunity to attend a two day eventing clinic coached by Olympian Megan Jones which was held at Wonthaggi Pony Club recently.
Star coaching: the riders who participated in the clinic with Olympian Megan Jones. Photo: Jenny O’Sullivan.
Jones is one of Australia’s top Eventing riders and a silver medallist at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. She was to compete in the recent London Olympics after being required to fill a spot for Shane Rose’s injured horse, but her good luck had all of a sudden turned bad for her horse Allofasudden, who ironically found itself also injured at the last minute, and Megan was forced to scratch from the London Olympic Eventing team. Over clinic the group was broken down into four groups of four riders which participated in Dressage, Showjumping, Cross Country and Theory with each and every lesson taken by Megan herself. During the theory lesson Megan shared her thoughts, knowledge and experience with the riders, telling them how she has learnt to deal with all the highs and in Megan’s case there have been many, along with the lows of this sport, including the huge disappointment of missing out
on the Olympics. When dealing with animals it is something equestrian athletes unfortunately are used to. “The reality is this is the nature of our sport. Horses can sustain these injuries and before you know it, a sporting dream can come to an end,” Megan told the riders during an afternoon theory session. Megan also gave some great advice to the Riders on how to prepare, train and look after their horses for competition. The clinic was aimed at riders in Grades 1, 2 and 3 – Wonthaggi Pony Club had six riders taking part in the
clinic. They were: Stephanie Carfrae, Carly Heislers, Grace McLean, Maddy Chalmers, Jess Bolding and Emily Burns. Ten Riders from other pony clubs in the zone from Berrys Creek, Tarwin Lower, Corner Inlet, Cranbourne, Cockatoo and Phillip Island also rode in the clinic. The clinic was a fantastic learning experience for all the riders and everyone found Megan to be very down to earth, a great coach, an extraordinary person and a wonderful ambassador for our sport. The clinic was organised by West Gippsland Chief Instructor Jenny O’Sullivan.

Showjumping success at Wonthaggi REGARDLESS of the extremely wet winter and unpredictable weather of late, the Wonthaggi Pony Club grounds were a hive of activity on Sunday, October 21, for the club’s annual show jumping day. This event is a Pony Club Association of Victoria State qualifier and part of the West Gippsland Zone Championship series. The competition comprised of six different grades with three separate events in each, which included 2Phase, Am7 and Am5 for A, B, C and D grades and E and F grades contested AM7, Am5 and Optimum Time. The top six riders in each competition were awarded a sash and earned points towards the overall championship placing. The calibre of riders that turned out to compete on the day was of a high quality, but none more so than those competing in the higher grades of A and B Grade, which provided some spectacular performances and left spectators in awe, as some of the jumping rounds were well over 1.10m high. Wonthaggi’s Sarah Joyce riding LH Ace in A Grade, came a close third in the overall championship, closely followed by another Wonthaggi rider, Carleen Hefel riding Rubin. The very experienced combination of Emily Hill riding Marena Comet took out the A Grade, with young up and coming rider Molly Barry riding Jumpin Jack taking out A Grade Reserve Champion. Numerous Wonthaggi Pony Club members were rewarded for their efforts and found themselves amongst the placings in many of the competitions, with Wonthaggi’s Stephanie Carfrae taking out the overall B Grade championship riding Optimus Prime and Carly Heislers the C Grade, riding Thorpville Espresso, with Viviene Carfrae riding Bob Conroy un-
lucky to lose the C Grade Reserve championship on a count back. Wonthaggi rider, Logan West, riding Azza came a credible third in the F Grade championship. Funds raised from the event are going to contribute to the building of some new horse yards to replace the dilapidated old ones. Wonthaggi Pony Club would especially like to thank Landmark Wonthaggi for donating a bag of horse feed and a fantastic horse feeder for the event; the lucky winner of the Landmark Wonthaggi prize was Emily Burns of Ryanston. Any rider wishing to purchase photos taken on the day should contact Bev Main on Facebook at “Main Memories Videography (Horses)” or phone: 0418 345 460. New members are always welcome to join the club, contact details can be found on the club’s website page at www. wonthaggi.ponyclubvic.org .au Show Jumping Day results: A Grade Champion: Emily Hill from Loch Nyora PC. Reserve Champion: Molly Barry from Berrys Creek PC. B Grade Champion: Stephanie Carfrae from Wonthaggi Pony Club. Reserve Champion: Alex O’Sullivan from Tarwin Lower PC. C Grade Champion: Carly Heislers from Wonthaggi Pony Club. Reserve Champion: Ashleigh Terlato from Pakenham PC. D Grade Champion: Taylah Waugh from Moe PC.

Mardan indoor JUST thirteen bowlers at the hall for the second last bowling night of the season, but plenty of good bowls being delivered in four keenly contested games. Three teams of three and one of four all playing two games of ten ends. The selectors again doing well with none of the sides able to win both their games. Winners on the night with one win and a draw were Jeannie Baker, Theresa Bateman and Andy Plowman (skip); runners up with one win and eleven winning ends were Ronnie Baker, John McColl and Ian Bristow (skip). Good to see Ronnie Baker in fine form and looking well after giving us all a bit of a scare last week. This Wednesday we would love to see plenty of bowlers turning up to battle it out for the traditional prizes donated by the club president. We will be welcoming Vito back from his trip to America and this will be the last chance to show off your talents for this season. Next Wednesday, November 7 will be the club’s Annual General Meeting at 7.30pm, and the presentations of the prizes won during the season, don’t miss it. The final function for the year is the end of season dinner at the Mirboo North bowling club, Friday, November 16 from 6.30pm, look forward to seeing all our members and several welcome guests.
Good shot: Jenny Rich checks out how she went at the Leongatha Bowls Club come and try day on Tuesday.
Fish Creek NO good news for our ladies’ pennant side with only one rink winning against Inverloch last week. Much better news for our men with Division 3 winning on all three rinks against Inverloch with 33 shots up over all. Division 5 also won with 24 shots up on Corinella and two rinks winning. Apologies from the men’s match committee but selection will not take place until Wednesday when selected teams will then go on the notice board. Next week Division 3 is at Phillip Island with the bus departing at 10.30 a.m. Division 5 is at Foster. Sunday, November 11 is the Van Dyk/Shaw day of mixed fours when teams or single entries would be welcome. Thursday is our Ladies’ Tournament with a full green and Friday is our casserole tea when everyone is welcome. Neville Buckland is again on our sick list but is said to be improving and due home again. Also on the sick list is the Ladies past president Nola Poletti who is in Foster Hospital following a nasty fall.
Korumburra parlor IT has been a busy week for the Korumburra bowlers as fourteen of them ventured to Gembrook on Sunday, October 21 for an afternoon of indoor bowls. Joanna Lomagno was in the runner-up team with Michael Matthews and Joyce Occhipinti playing pivotal shots in the winning team. An enjoyable, social afternoon was had by bowlers from both clubs and Korumburra looks forward to hosting the afternoon next year. Monday evening saw players arrive at Outtrim for their second dose of bowls. With eighteen bowlers in attendance, the games were tightly fought with each point proving vital in the outcome. The runner-up team of Connie Occhipinti, Mary Tumino and visitor, Ian Armstrong scored well to finish with 2W1L+4 shots. They were disappointed to find themselves one shot behind the winning team of Lee Armstrong, Ashley Van Duffelen and Margot O whose bowling has begun to show a little improvement. And then, on Thursday evening, the players fronted for their third dose of bowls; this time a night of parlor bowls. With a good turn-out of 22 players, two games of 12 ends ensued. Brian Enbom captained the winning team of Lilet Wyatt, Alan Dyall, Mick Bruzzese and Charlie Tumino. They drew their first game and won by three points in their second. Their opponents in the first game (who also drew) won by two shots in the second, thus allowing Brian’s team the night’s honours. All four games were evenly matched and the bowlers displayed skilful and sometimes, not so skilful, shots.
Helping hand: club president Bob Young gives Fred Hams some pointers at the Leongatha Bowls Club come and try day last week.

However Fred played the shot of the day to knock a great three wood third shot onto the green from well back on the 18th and make par - he had a shot on the 18th so this was decisive. It was a fitting climax after a great match between two blokes who are stalwarts of the club. Congratulations Fred. Fred Tyers (15) and Shirley Cook (30) defeated Neil Chandler
(20) and Robyn Galloway (9) one up in the mixed knockout final. After a great tussle they were square up the last, and a good par from Fred and Shirley on the 18th saw them take victory. The Barry Soderlund Trophy final was a titanic struggle between Cam Downing (12) and Kane Esler (20) up against Trevor Jones (27) and Gary Clavarino (15). It was square up the last. Kiwi hit his drive onto the 16th and then hit the wrong ball so he was history. Kane was also out of business early. Gary and Cam finished up halving with sixes. They went on to the 20th before Cam and Kane came out on top.

THE course in now in excellent condition - the ball is bouncing and the greens are fast and true. I think we will start to see some super scores from now on as the ball starts to go further and those long par fours become easier to reach. Our four stroke round club championship begins this Saturday and continues for the next two weekends. Defending champion is Pat McKay but there are many chances this year as most of our low markers are in good recent form. Good luck to all. Our esteemed life member Fred Tyers may be approaching 75 years old, but he shows no signs of fading away. Fred remains very active on work around the course and is always available when help is needed. He may not hit the ball as far now, but that reliable three wood works as well as ever and off 15 he is probably still the most regular winner in the club. Kevin Flett (8) continued his great form to record 40 points and win easily, from Robert Fulton (13) on 35 points and Geoff McKenzie (14) on 32 points. Kevin did a shot off his handicap - this proved telling later in the week. It was a bit windy and everyone had an off day so the scores were pretty average. Fred Tyers (15) had 31 points to sneak a victory over Doc Men-

Inverloch IRB state efforts THE Inverloch IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) team travelled to Mordialloc on Saturday to compete in the final stage of the State Titles. The first heats were held in Portland in June before bad weather forced the cancellation of day two of the competition. Inverloch performed well in the semi finals with the Women’s Mass Rescue team of Isabella Meagher (driver), Camille Thompson (crew) and patients Jordy Tomas and Katrina Morris finishing first in their heat. Inverloch featured in five of the final races but competition was fierce amongst the competing teams and success eluded them. The team comprising of three Mens and two Womens teams plus patients has placed well throughout the season which included a trip to Umina north of Sydney to compete in the Australian Titles Competition.
Speedy rescues: the Inverloch IRB racing team at Mordialloc on Saturday (from left) Nat Wabbis, Jordy Tomas, Lindsey Ritchie, Carly Heislers, Katrina Morris, Isabella Meagher, Camille Thompson, Bec Morris, Max Leonard, Max Rounds, Nat Jowett, Lars Reisinger and Jake Lurati.

Leongatha batted and was 6 for 131 with Eli Richards 39 and Jake Buckland 35 taking charge in a 61 run opening partnership as well as Tom Wyatt 13, Brok Davidson 17 not out and Royston McGavin 10. Both games we had chances to win but a couple of overs in each game they got away from us. Fielding was good in both games and the batting of Eli Richards and Jake Buckland was excellent as was Royston McGavin’s knocks in both games.
Under 16 The Under 16 team travelled to Rosedale for both their 20/20 games winning one and putting up a good effort in the other. First game was against Bairnsdale who made 4 for 149. Mitch Olden managed 2 for 24 off four overs, Jakeb Thomas 1 for 14 off four overs, and Zane McDermid claimed 1 for 14 in two overs. Leongatha made 5 for
125 off there 20 overs, Jakeb Thomas 27 not out, Jack Ginnane 19 not out, Nathan Brayley 25, James Honeysett 16, Pierre Dunlevie 11. Leongatha batted first in the second game and was 9 for 95 with Jakeb Thomas 21, Brayden Pickersgill 19, Mitch Olden 13, Jack Ginnane and Nathan Brayley both 11. Traralgon was all out for 88 thanks to Jakeb Thomas 3 for 2 off four overs, Zane McDermid 2 for 19 off three overs Jye Dalmau 1 for 10 off three overs, Mitch Olden 1 for 29 off four overs and Pierre Dunlevie 0 for 9 off four overs. The Under 16 guys were very competitive in both games with Jakeb Thomas batting and bowling well in both games, Mitch Olden, Nathan Brayley and Jack Ginnane were also among the best in both games. Everyone did contribute over the games either batting, bowling or fielding so a good team effort by the Under 16 boys. Next GCL game is November 18.

Ratnayake standout for Town LEONGATHA Town’s Amila Ratnayake was the standout performer with the bat when his team took on Leongatha Koonwarra RSL.
Amila Ratnayake: the Town batting machine was hitting them out of the ground with six sixes in this match. • B GRADE DIVISION 2
Seven ducks for Workmens A DISMAL batting collapse, with seven ducks (one not out) saw Wonthaggi Workmens score just 40 runs against Fish Creek Tarwin.
The Fishy bowlers were in devastating form, with Bergman (2/3), Pouw (2/10), Bawden (2/10) Van Boven (3/16) all playing a part. Fish Creek Tarwin’s
Gary Webster batted well, knocking up 34, before losing his wicket to Sherrin, Wonthaggi Workmens’ best bowler, who finished the match with 3/25. Team mate Roche was almost as good, with 3/34. Imperials were a shade better than OMK in a high quality hit out. With OMK top order batsmen Robert Quaife (54) and Ben Maguire (49 not out) hitting the

ball cleanly, the Diggers looked hard to catch. Quaife was also instrumental later in the day, claiming opener Murray for 37 and catching Pellin for 30 off the bowling of Provan. But Imperials were not going to be denied. Meyer top-scored with 49 and had enough support to see the Lions over the line. Kilcunda Bass openers Aplin (78) and Gardiner (47) made sure their team took the honours against Leongatha Koonwarra RSL. Killy Bass bowler
Blake Egeberg was good, with 3/23. Leongatha Koonwarra’s Leo Enter was in top form, knocking his way to 62, while team mate Sam Turner finished his innings not out for 34. Korumburra scored a disappointing 91 against Town on the weekend, falling short by 71 runs. Town’s Steve Fixter continued his good form with the ball, bowling 4/19. Team mates Bruce (56), Borschman (30) and Turner (30, not out) kept the runs ticking over.

The talented Ratnayake scored 85, before taking 2/42 later in the day. Team mate Madura Weerasinghe Silva was also in good form, edging his way to 36, before bowling 1/21. On the other side of the ledger, Hughes (44) and Wise (39) found the middle of the bat as Koony’s openers. Fish Creek Tarwin were too good for Poowong Loch, with Jason Law (61) and Jake Buckland (52) leading their team to victory. Team mate VRS Guru Kedarnath was in top form with the ball, taking 3/19. Meeniyan Dumbalk United got home over a competitive Glen Alvie, with batsman Mark Le Page taking charge and knocking up 59. Glen Alvie’s Will Gray bowled well,
finally claiming the wicket of Le Page and finishing his stint with 3/29. MDU’s Craig Hoober was economical, taking 2/5. Glen Alvie’s Smith hit the ball well, notching up 40. Bolding retired hurt with 37. Kilcunda Bass’ even spread of scorers left Foster in their wake. Foster certainly boasted the game’s best batting performance, with Gary Wagstaff hitting 65. But he had little support from his other team mates, who all fell cheaply. Town’s Amila Ratnayake was the standout performer with the bat when his team took on Leongatha Koonwarra RSL. The talented Ratnayake scored 85, before taking 2/42 later in the day. Team mate Madura Weerasinghe Silva was also in good form, edging his way to 36, before bowling 1/21.

Rough start: the Imperials got off to a rough start against Phillip Island in A1. Here Lee Ballagh puts one forward hoping for a run or two.
• A GRADE DIVISION 1
Workmen win in close one
NERRENA fell two runs short of the 187 set by Wonthaggi Workmens’ on the weekend.
Workmens batsmen Ryan Thomas (52), Gavin Britt (43) and Tim Hooper (44), hit the bulk of the total. Workmens bowler Aaron Lang was good with the ball, finishing the day with 3/38. Nerrena’s Christian Eva was good with the ball too, taking 3/45 and claiming one catch. Team mates Matheson (49) and Wightman (40) batted well, but could not get their team across the line. Phillip Island cruised to victory over a lacklustre Imperials oufit. While Williams (39) and Ballagh (22) were both productive, none of their team mates reached double figures, with Phillip Island bowler Joe Finnigan in devastatingly good form, claiming 5/27. The Island’s main batting force came in the form of opener Eli Richards, who finished his innings not out at 67. Murdoch also batted well, with 39. OMK pipped Inverloch in a low-scoring affair. Inver-
loch’s Kit Rothier and Jason Smith were slick with the ball, finishing the day with 3/14 and 3/18 respectively. OMK’s Dyer top-scored with 33. Korumburra’s Udara Weerasinghe was in top form on the weekend, steering his team to victory against Wonthaggi Miners. Weerasinghe was last man standing, with 85 not out. None of his other team mates scored double figure totals, with the next biggest total a paltry 8 runs. Five Korumburra players recorded ducks. Bowling, Weerasinghe took 4/20. Wonthaggi Miners’ bowler Ryan Birkett was fabulous, taking 5/33.

Coulter claims 4/15 BEAU Coulter and his 4/15 effort helped keep the Miners at bay when MDU took them on on Saturday.
Coulter took out opener Jones then Howson and Waters in succession to help limit the Miners to 8/94, well below their target of 156. Leading the batting for MDU was Luke Corry who knocked up 32 not out closely followed by Browne on 28. Dylan McMeekin was having a great day for OMK. After hitting 29 at the crease he turned around and bowled five maidens and claimed 2/13. On the batting front OMK were helped by Dowel (39) and Paterson (38 no). Inverloch-Kongwak couldn’t do enough to stop the diggers though, all out for 150, 13 short of their target. Glen Alvie were looking okay after their first innings effort of 3/152 until Phillip Island opener Andrew Finlayson started swinging. After hitting 71 runs off 117 balls Andrighetto took
Finlayson out. That was the only luck the Glen Alvie bowlers had all day though, with Island finished 1/169 for the win. Wonthaggi Workmen made short work of Nerrena on Saturday, having them all out for 126 then hitting 285 in their innings. Chad Harvey was the leader with the bat for the Workmen, hitting 81 at the crease.

Thirds return to Under 18
ALBERTON Football Netball League clubs and board of management have voted to overturn a motion to change the Thirds football age group to Under 17.5.
The age group will stay as Under 18 thanks to the decision made at a special general meeting on Wednesday. At the meeting each club and the league board of management each had one vote and the majority of voters were against the motion to change the age group. Players who would have had their junior football careers cut short are happy with the decision. “I reckon it’s great,” Fish Creek
Thirds player Tyler Shanahan said. “Now I don’t miss out on my last year of juniors.” Shanahan was contemplating moving to a different league to stay in the Thirds age group. “I definitely will be heading back to Fish Creek next year for hopefully what will be a great season for us,” he said. The original motion was moved in a bid to create a more junior-based team in the Thirds. Tarwin Football Netball Club president Dean Ellen said he preferred the Under 18 age group. “I’m frustrated with people constantly trying to change it,” he said. “Happy with the way it was, every year someone tries to change it
but we’d prefer if it was just left the way it is.” Inverloch-Kongwak Football Netball Club secretary Tim Richardson said his club wanted the Under 18 age group to stay. “Our committee voted unanimously to go back to the old way (Under 18) because we don’t like the new way (Under 17.5),” he said. Mr Richardson said it varies from time to time and club to club with reasons for the change. “Some clubs want us to get rid of our top age kids, and other kids want to keep their kids and it just keeps on coming up,” he said. “It is something that just keeps coming up year after year.”
No age change: the Alberton Thirds age group will stay as Under 18 after a motion to change it was turned over.
Phil wins world silver PHIL Hanley has won a silver medal at the world triathlon championships held in Auckland, New Zealand last week. It’s his most prestigious placing in a 20-year career as a triathlete. Competing against 70 others in the 60-plus age group, Phil described his second placing as “an excellent result”. “That’s the best finish I’ve done with that amount of competitors.” Phil said a field of around 3500 took part in various age groups of the world event, coming from many different countries including Great Britain and America. Members of Phil’s family were there to cheer him on. He’s a fit individual, but he did extra training in the lead up to the world championships, especially for the swimming leg of the triathlon. “I did more endurance and tempo work in the pool.” Phil complimented his colleagues in the Leongatha Cycling Club and Inverloch Coastal Cruisers for helping him record the

He qualified for the world final by winning his age group at Australian championships in Queensland. He’s returned to work
in Wonthaggi saying, “I’ve come back to earth.” Now, he’ll concentrate on the local circuit with the Bass Coast Barracudas and Melbourne’s Gatorade sprint series.
Ford named in Asia-Pacific field By Brad Lester SARAH Ford has the chance to prove she is among Australia’s best tennis players.
The Leongatha North woman has been selected to contest Australia’s peak tennis competition, the Asia-Pacific Tennis League. The 20-year-old will play for Belgrave Rangers in the Victorian division of the tournament. The winning Victorian team will vie for the Australian title and the chance to play the best teams from the Asia-Pacific region during the Australian Open, Melbourne, in January. Ford will combine her Belgrave duties with playing A Grade for Leongatha North. While selection is an honour, the standard will be high, with 28 Australian teams alone. “I’m really, really, really excited, and really nervous, but I’m just amazed. I can’t wait,” Ford said. Now ranked around 450 among Australia’s junior and senior female players, Ford was urged to try for league selection by Pat Cash’s former coach Ian Barclay after she
impressed him at a Melbourne tournament. “Initially I did not think my ranking was going to be high enough for it.” But Barclay thought otherwise, believing Ford was playing above her ranking and she later received a first round offer from Tennis Australia to compete. The first round of the competition will be at Kooyong on November 11 and games will continue to be played weekly until the winning Victorian team is determined. “I’ve got a pretty good technique and my strokes really have improved, and I’ve got a powerful serve when I crank it. “I have got most of my technique right.” While some aspiring athletes pursue a sport to emulate their idol, Ford’s introduction to tennis was less stereotypical. Her mother Angie recalled: “When she was two, she was really sick and I stayed up all night wither her and we had Wimbledon on the television and the next morning, she said she wanted to do what those people were doing.” Ford began coaching locally before playing under Traralgon coach Gra-
ham Charlton for several years. As a 16-year-old, she made the semi-finals of a junior tournament in the French capital of Paris, an event organised by Belgian great Kim Clijsters. Ford now trains up to eight hours a day and competes in Australian Money Tournaments to earn rank-
ing points. Playing the tennis league is the next step to a professional tennis career. “I’m just hoping that even if I don’t perform well, I hope that some of the coaches will see my work ethic. I just hope that some coach will take me on.”
Above In action: Sarah Ford is satisfied with her technique but still trains up to eight hours a day. Right Honourable selection: Sarah Ford is aiming to cement her reputation in Australian tennis.

Flying high: the Roulettes performed spectacular manoeuvres over the world renowned Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on Sunday.
Cool Casey: record crowds came to cheer Casey on to his sixth consecutive win in the Phillip Island MotoGP on Sunday, riding for the last time on his favourite track. Glamour: Monster Energy grid girls Samantha Crane and Bonnie Edwards, both of Melbourne enjoyed the glorious sunshine at the Phillip Island circuit on Sunday.
Kris rides with King Casey
Italian celebrity: Valentino Rossi placed seventh in the MotoGP on Phillip Island on Sunday, but thrilled fans by making himself available for autographs and photos.
High and mighty: the lovely ladies on stilts added to the electric atmosphere at the Phillip Island MotoGP on the weekend.
Continued from page 64. “Colin Edwards (USA) was just awesome and was very encouraging, in fact all the riders I got to speak to were just fabulous,” he said. Talking to The Star on Saturday before qualifying sessions, McLaren said his dream would be to make the poll for Sunday’s AirAsia Australian MotoGP. “I would be happy just to make the poll but would like to help the team all I can to develop their bike and get the best out of it,” he said. “Everyone in the Avintia Blusens team has been fantastic, they are all very supportive. I just have to get the bike to work right for me.” It was a weekend of thrills and spills as McLaren experienced when he had a fall just prior to Stoner, leaving him battered and bruised and with some minor injuries. But like Stoner he jumped straight back on the bike. The crowds cheered the newcomer back to the track on Saturday and there was a lot of commentary on McLaren, urging him on to just find the fractions of a second he needed to make the final Sunday cut. McLaren improved markedly on his times and only failed to make the cut by a fraction of a second due to a mechanical hick-up on the final warm-up on Sunday before the main race. To say he was absolutely devastated missing the main event is an understatement, but if guts and sheer determination is what it takes to make the cut, then McLaren has that in the bag.
Kris has proved he has what it takes and all he needs now is a team to take him on some major sponsorship. He has been offered a ride with Ducati in Spain but he needs the backing to make this dream a reality. With King Casey retiring, McLaren could well be snapped up, but in the meantime he will be back home in Leongatha training hard and working hard with his parents in their local body repairs shop. The massive crowd roaring through South Gippsland to the Phillip Island track last week came to see Stoner win his sixth consecutive MotoGP at the Island circuit and he didn’t disappoint, winning convincingly and sealing his place as an Aussie sporting all-time great. Stoner dominated the race and finished almost 10 seconds clear of the newly crowned 2012 World MotoGP champion, Spanish rider Jorge Lorenzo.

Asia Australian MotoGP grid by Kris McLaren who received a late call up. McLaren made his MotoGP debut riding for the Avintia Blusens team on the CRT bike that is regularly ridden by Yonny Hernandez. The injured Columbian dislocated his left collarbone at the Motegi recently, opening the door for McLaren to make an unexpected debut. After receiving a wildcard entry in the Moto2 class last year, McLaren has spent 2012 in the Spanish CEV Moto2 class, scoring a podium finish at Jerez recently and last year rode in the Grand Prix of Australia as a wildcard in Moto2™. McLaren had only been back home with his mum and dad Pam and Craig for two months after racing in Spain, and said it was “mind blowing” being called up the Tuesday before the weekend to race in the MotoGP. He was thankful he had put in a good deal of training and had built up some muscle, going from 70 to 74 kilograms and felt in top form. “I felt good and was right to go, racing in Spain has made all the difference,” McLaren said. “I am comfortable with the Phillip Island track and really happy with the surface,” he said.
A huge step up for McLaren, he had his first ride on the powerful MotoGP bike on Friday for the practice sessions alongside the likes of Stoner, 2012 MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi. Asked how he felt after his Friday stint on the track and McLaren said, “It was terrifying but it was just awesome to get the call up.” It is a mega leap for me but it’s a great opportunity given to me by the Avintia Blusens team and I want to use it well,” he said. “I know it will be very difficult to be at the level of such experienced riders and my first objective is to adapt to the bike and progress slowly. “This bike has so much more power than the bikes I have been racing on in Spain, and hitting speeds of 316 kilometres at the end of the straight does take some getting used to.” As for how he felt riding on the same track with the best in the world in front of record crowds with some 122,470 attending this annual three day event, McLaren said he just wasn’t thinking about who he was on the track with. “I actually got to meet some of the MotoGP riders and a few of them I got to speak with,” McLaren said.

Congratulations: Craig McLaren and son Kris make their way to the Avintia Blusens team garage on the main straight at the Phillip Island circuit before Saturday’s MotoGP qualifying sessions. Kris received a lot of good luck wishes from friends in Leongatha.
