CLIMATE AVCTIVISTS: David Arnauld and Aileen Vening reported on the climate emergency to an audience in Leongatha last week. Second speaker from Wonthaggi, Aileen Vening, pointed out there have been so many weather records broken in just the last week, both globally and locally. “The air over Australia is very dry, which means we will be more susceptible to frost, and it will be drier and hotter,” she said. She said extreme cold weather was another indicator of global warming. Mr Arnault affirmed that it wasn’t all bad news, however. “We’ve begun a transition already,” he said, adding the changing landscape and shift in global attitude will provide new jobs. In the meantime, the speakers encouraged individuals to do their own research and remain
vigilant. “If the county was going to war, we’d be mobilising by now. Well, we need to be mobilising,” Mr Arnault said. Mrs Vening said, “We need to take ownership. If everyone takes ownership, we are all part of the solution.” For farmers, soil health and regenerative farming should be a priority. People can also act by growing fruit and vegetables or buying local produce, eating less red meat, buying and donating goods at op shops, carpooling, cycling, walking or using public transport, turning off lights and standby switches, recycling and investing in solar or renewable energy.

Earlier that same day, temperatures swelled to over 35°C in Leongatha before taking a dramatic, icy turn. By the late afternoon, we had a small burst of rain which was followed by a dry lightning storm. While some might fob it off as ‘typical Gippsland weather’, it’s apparent this type of weather isn’t normal, especially when these extreme weather events are happening all over the globe and with rapid frequency. The devastating bushfires in NSW and Queensland are case in point. “Climate change is a force multiplier,” activist David Arnault of Mirboo North said. “Hot days will be hotter, drought deeper, flood more devastating and storms more severe.” In 2018, an average of 16 extreme weather events was being recorded a day – a major jump from a decade prior. Mr Arnault predicted by 2050, around 46 extreme weather events would take place per day globally. He said it would continue to affect our food and water, create more allergens and air pollution, spread disease, cause heat stress and impact mental health, all on a grander scale. “Climate change is a medical emergency,” he said.

The event at Buckley Park Community Farm attracted groups such as Fish Creek Landcare, Farmers for Climate Change Action and Prom Area Just Transitions. A jazz band performing Climate Change Blues threaded its way through picnickers before serenading the crowd as it gathered behind a climate emergency banner. Speakers covered topics such as a renewable energy roadmap for South Gippsland, regenerative farming practices, citizen science and the CSIRO’s role in climate science research.
Juneen Schultz, of Buckley Park Community Farm, said the farm supported the picnic as part of its ethos of creating a more resilient community. Dr Suzanne Deed, of picnic co-organisers Prom Area Climate Action (PACA), said the picnic was a wonderful community effort. “I was inspired by the many different ways people are finding to live more sustainability and to encourage each other,” she said. Climate Action Picnics are planned to occur quarterly.

KING OF THE WAVES Daniel Renfrey INVERLOCH’s Joel Barry is on top of the globe after defending his world title crown. The aerial jet skier was declared the IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour winner last week, his second world championship on the trot. The feat follows the 25-yearold’s recovery from a jet ski accident at Inverloch in which his face was smashed and a strong performance at round one of this year’s world title in Portugal. There was only one stage - the Portugal event in April - in this year’s tour due to promotion hurdles and ‘Jumping Joel’ was the clear leader. “It feels really good to have won it, even though there was only one event,” Joel said. “I’ve got to take it for what it is, it’s a world championship. I had to do better than the other competitors and I won it for the year. “I won the last three events of last year too so I know I would have had the ability to win it if there were more events.” Joel was a sight to behold, with his wave riding and aerial manoeuvres earning him the title. The champion skier was in a zone and enjoyed every moment. “It was absolutely thrilling, I wouldn’t compete in it for any other reason,” he said.
“Any time I’m at an event with the world’s best there, my mind sort of switches off and I just try to reach a level better than my best.” It’s clear Joel’s passion for a thrill on his jet ski is as strong as the currents he rides. This passion shone through during his recovery from an accident in May in which his ski fell on him and crushed his helmet, leaving him with lacerations. “I thought more events were coming and it took a lot of support from friends and family to help me through my recovery,” Joel said. “I still would have competed if it went on, there was no two ways around it. It wouldn’t have been comfortable, but I would have done anything, bandaged my head up or something.” The top talent enjoyed the world championship experience. “Being able to travel, it’s kind of like you’re on your own travelling circus,” he said. “There’s a family within the sport that you compete with, they’re mates. The experiences you get from it are probably even better than winning.” As for what the future holds, the sport is in a rebuilding phase and it’s uncertain whether there will be further events. Whatever happens, Joel still intends to ride on. “Just riding around Australia and around the world for a while could be the way to go, but who knows what will happen,” he said.
POLICE BRIEFS Hoon nabbed A LEONGATHA hoon will face court after evading police on Sunday. The 19 year old was parked in the McDonalds car park when police arrived. Rather than talk to officers, the disqualified driver took off at speed, narrowly missing customers. Police chose not to pursue the teen out of fear for public safety. The offender was arrested two hours later at his residence in Leongatha. He has been charged with reckless driving and reckless conduct. Disqualified from driving, he is out on bail until his court case early in 2020.
Stolen car torched WONTHAGGI CIU is investigating the circumstances surrounding a burnout Mitsubishi. The car is believed stolen. The car was discovered on the Korumburra South Road, Korumburra South, on Saturday at about 2.30am.
Tree crash driver charged AN 18 year old Warrandyte man who crashed into a tree has been suspended from driving for three months and will pay a $537 fine. The man had reached a speed of 135kmh along the South Gippsland Highway, Foster – 35kmh above the speed limit - in the lead up to the crash. He will also face court on a separate charge of careless driving.
Sleeping driver fined A 32 YEAR OLD man from Mirboo North fell asleep at the wheel while driving through Mardan last week. He was not injured during the resultant crash, but received an infringement notice for careless driving of $397 and three demerit points.
Dash cam dragnet POLICE nabbed a Korumburra teen after a member of the public submitted dash cam footage of his dangerous driving. Police said the 19 year old was issued an infringement notice for failing to have proper control of his motor vehicle as he drove. He incurred a fine of $248.

Family watches as house fire claims all Grace Griffith WHEN their Korumburra home went up in flames last Tuesday, Pam Prestage, her three young children and two friends didn’t have time to grab any of the belongings.

They escaped with just the clothes on their back and watched in shock as everything they owned and loved was engulfed in flames. “We got the notification at around 8.25am and were on the scene seven minutes later and the whole house was fully involved at the time,” Korumburra CFA captain Shane Maskell said. “We could see smoke on the way there in the truck and I knew then it was too late to save the house. “Our priorities were to make sure everyone was out and to stop the spread to neighbouring properties, which we did.” Single mother of three and renter of the property, Ms Prestatge, ran back into the burning premise to rescue their family dog after she got her children, aged two, eight and 10, out of the home.
While all six occupants escaped uninjured, they were taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. The house fire remains under investigation but is being treated as not suspicious. “It’s possible it might have had something to do with an electrical fault,” Mr Maskell said. Regardless of the cause, the home was completely gutted and the family has lost everything they held dear, including family heirlooms and baby photos. In response to the devastating loss, friend Sonia Albanese from Korumburra initiated a GoFundMe fundraising campaign for the family. Already the community has rallied to raise nearly $2000. “Pam and her children are currently staying with family and they overwhelmed with the support her community is showing,” Sonia wrote. “Pam is an amazing friend and mother who is always there for the people in her life…and she is now left to rebuild her and her children’s lives. “Please, any donation along with kind words and warm wishes are greatly appreciated.” To help rebuild the home and lives of Pam and her children, donate here: https://bit.ly/35nmhxS

POLICE BRIEFS
Pool funding secured
Sign post vandal caught
Matt Dunn
YARRAM police have arrested and charged a 20 year old Woodside man with criminal damage to road signs and letter boxes in the Woodside area. The man was also charged with possession of cannabis. Police received numerous complaints about signs and letter boxes being knocked over along the South Gippsland Highway and damage to letter boxes down Beach Road, on the evening of Saturday, November 16. After extensive investigation, they were able to make their arrest. The man has been bailed to appear in the Sale Magistrate courts in January 2020 and could have his car impounded for one month under hooning laws.
MIRBOO North’s pool funding was secured last week, with South Gippsland Shire Council awarding the contract to Langden Constructions. A total of $5.73 million has been allocated to the project. The Mirboo North community raised $1 million to support the project. The Federal Government contributed $600,000 and the Victorian Government $190,000. Council will fund the remaining project cost. The redeveloped facility will include a new 25 metre pool, including ramp access and wet decks; a new learn-to-swim pool with ramp access and children’s splash park; and a new building, which includes dry programs space to help extend its use beyond the pool season. “This is a dream come true, we’re absolutely over the moon. I can’t wait for that grand opening. They’ve extended the season without us even begging,” long term pool advocate Mary Baker told The Star. The committed fundraiser has been helping to make the case for an upgrade for about 15 years. Council administrator Julie Eisenbise described the planned upgrade as “a wonderful project for the Mirboo North community and a great example of what can be achieved when the three levels of government work together to support its community”. “The dedication of the Friends of the Mirboo

They’re training for a fight TOURIST railway supporters are urging “civil disobedience” if South Gippsland Shire Council extends the rail trail between Leongatha and Korumburra. Last week the Southern Rail Preservation Group – a group proposing the resurrection of the tourist train between Leongatha and Korumburra - held a public meeting, with support from the South Gippsland Action Group. Members of the politically-aligned South Gippsland Ratepa Ratepayers group were also in attendance. at SGAG president DaSG told the auvid Amor A dience dienc he had a “proposal” posa to present to council. coun “I would like youse guys to immediately susthe plans to remove pend th railway tracks – stop, the rail suspend and do not sus allow any of these works to go ahead. And engage with the community for the future • Former South Gippsland of the railway Shire councillor, Frank Hirst. land for the fu-
ture of South Gippsland residents,” he said. Former councillor Frank Hirst said “I’d be prepared to indulge civil disobedience to stop people ripping up our tracks”. “Maybe we should all join SGAG or the South and West Gippsland Transport Group (rail advocacy group),” he said. Another SGAG member, Marie GerrardStaton, said all the groups present should “put together a militant, united action voice that the administrators and the acting shire CEO can take note of”. “They love splinter groups. They love you all to be divided. They can then just say, ‘We’ll take that on notice, we’re the experts and we’ll make the decisions for you. You’re all just like a lot of little school kids who can’t make up your minds,” she said. “Get your voices united in something simple like, return the train to this area.” Southern Rail’s Stuart Gilbert said there are plans to re-establish a train between Korumburra and Leongatha within months. Eventually, the group plans to return a rail service along the full 58 kilometres of line between Leongatha and Koo Wee Rup. The plan runs contrary to plans by council to dig up the tracks and extend the bike track. Council has signed a lease agreement with VicTrack, the state government body with control over Victoria’s rail assets. Mr Gilbert said he was “reasonably confident the railway would be attracting 350,000 people

Tank full of fun at show Yarram Standard will have all the results from YARRAM Agricultural Show delighted and entertained all who walked through the show in next week’s edition. the Yarram Recreation Reserve gates on Saturday.
TANKS ALOT: Yarram Show had tank loads of fun for everyone this year.
The event was touted as a great family show, with exhibits and events catering for visitors of every age. The wool shed was chock-a-block with arts and crafts from local schools, as well as flowers galore from local green thumbs. Over at the May Pavilion, the Yarram Herd Services announced the winners of the 21st Dairy Cow Challenge. Hopefuls in the Miss Show Girls contest paraded in front of judges Marg Ford and Mellissa Franks, before the winners were sashed and congratulated. They were 13-16 years Moni Sanderson, 9-12 years Lydia Trotter, 2-4 years Kasharna Alberti, 5-8 years Willow Best and 17-25 years Helena Palmer. The main arena was a hive of activity all day, with splendid looking horses and their riders putting on a great show. Around the perimeter there were beaut utes galore and local businesses showing their wares. The woodchop was again a great drawcard and Six-year-old Luke MacAulay from Alberton the chook shed had a constant stream of visitors West enjoyed looking at the breeds of chooks at this year’s show. throughout the day.

Rescue our beach
Water bills may rise WATER bills will increase by approximately $50 a year for the average customer under a proposal by South Gippsland Water.
MPs demand rocks, now
That is the plan the water corporation has submitted to the Essential Services Commission for the years 2020-2023. South Gippsland Water said a moderate increase in tariffs was necessary. The average water bill will rise by approximately $50 in the first year and $21 per year for the following two years, plus CPI. A capital program of $41 million over the three years will fund the replacement of aging assets to maintain reliable services and accommodate for growth areas. “Customers have been clear in their feedback and have provided direction regarding key areas of organisational focus,” South Gippsland Water’s Philippe du Plessis said. “These include reliability and maintaining service standards, planning for the future, and that the corporation deliver affordable services.” The commission will assess the pricing submission for compliance with legislation, guidance and efficiency, and on the basis of their assessment, make a pricing determination. South Gippsland Water will receive a draft pricing determination around March 2020. This will then be subject to further customer feedback, before a final determination in June 2020, with new prices due to come into effect from July 1, 2020.
Daniel Renfrey THE call for a rock wall to prevent further erosion at Inverloch is gaining pace. Politicians Tim Smith and Edward O’Donohue last week demanded a rock wall instead of sandbags to protect the surf beach from penetrating surf. They visited the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club last Thursday to discuss the issue with residents and club president Warren Cook. “A rock wall needs to be built,” Mr Smith said. “The people of Bass and Inverloch need to be taken seriously.” The degree of erosion has increased since the MPs last visited the coast of Inverloch. “It’s clear measures aren’t working at the moment and we need the government to at least
(L-R) Inverloch residents Jack Buckley, Keith Godridge and Robin Bowman are unhappy with the suggested sandbag solution to erosion at their town and want a rock wall installed as soon as possible.
ACCELERATING ACTION: (L-R) Edward O’Donohue MP, Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club president Warren Cook and Tim Smith MP converged at the club on Thursday to discuss the need for faster action on Inverloch’s erosion issue. have sandbags in front of the beautiful lifesaving building as soon as possible,” Mr O’Donohue said. “The erosion is accelerating; it’s not slowing down. It needs to be done but we don’t have the luxury of time, so we need to identify answers and a long-term solution as soon as possible.” Long-time Inverloch resident Keith Godridge, an ex-engineer – said a rock wall was the superior solution compared to sandbags. He addressed Bass Coast Shire Council at last week’s meeting. “A minimal job is being done to protect the coast and if the erosion continues it could go into car parks, Surf Parade and further so it’s very, very grave,” he said. “The indications are that rocks are a lot cheaper than sandbags and more effective.” Mr Godridge said around $700,000 has been allocated toward a State Government study to find the cause of the erosion. However, he said this was too little too late.

“If the study had been done three years ago, the money would’ve been well spent,” he said. “The erosion is over two kilometres long, at least 30 metres of beach has been lost, as well as about six hectares of coastal vegetation. The horse has well and truly bolted and we need money spent on action.” Mr Godridge said the closest source of rocks was the quarry at Leongatha South. “It just involves loading them onto dump trucks, taking them to where they need to go and getting an excavator to place them against the sand. It’s a simple operation,” he said. Bass Coast Shire Councillor Stephen Fullarton also supported a rock wall and said installing sandbags was “pussy-footing around the issue”. The politicians also met with Wonthaggi Lifesaving Club’s Alan Evers-Buckland to discuss beach issues at Cape Paterson and Wonthaggi residents concerned about access to the new senior campus of Wonthaggi Secondary College.

Sure, there’s still parties, and the occasional run-in in the supermarket, but for the most part, this chapter has come to an end,” she said. “We’re going to disperse across Victoria, across Australia, and maybe even the world.”
Toora lights the way CHRISTMAS spirit is alive and well in Toora with the town already planning its lighting display. Entries are now open for the town’s Light Up Toora competition with up to $1,500 worth of prizes to be won. Tara Hollier, member of Toora Community Action Team (TCAT), said Christmas was how their town group was initially formed. “The shire wasn’t responsible for putting up decorations, so TCAT was born from that,” she said. Home owners aren’t the only Christmas enthusiasts with many businesses also joining in on the festivities. “Toora Community Bank has jumped on board with sponsorship and are funding prizes for the competition and decorations around town,” Tara said. A whole range of competition categories from traditional light displays to a hay bale section will be open to the community. A town Christmas tree will also be installed at the top of Stanley Street thanks to the sponsorship of the bank and the work of Inlet Engineering. “It’s a Christmas tree with a modern twist,” Tara hinted. A grant from the South Gippsland Shire Council will also see gumtrees up-lit along the highway for the merry season. “Businesses will decorate their shop windows too. It’s nice to see the town come together in that way,” Tara said. Entry forms are available via the Toora Community Action Team Facebook page or Toora Foodworks. Registration closes December 9, 12pm.

THERE was mixed response on our socials when trees were given the axe in Peart Street, Leongatha last Thursday. The Queensland Brush Box trees’ removal came on the back of a petition by residents to South Gippsland Shire Council. Residents argued the trees were a nuisance since they dropped seed pods and their roots raised footpaths.

Speaking to council administrators ahead of the vote last week, Friends of Agnes Falls’ Kathy Whelan told of being “gobsmacked and devastated” by the withdrawal of the funding. She said the friends group had distributed more than 35,000 promotional leaflets for the falls, ensuring its success as a tourist attraction. “It’s such a short sighted decision to cancel the funding for this cantilever project. It’s been fully funded. Sixty thousand dollars has been spent with $450,000 still in the budget, unless you cancel it,” Ms Whelan said. “There is absolutely no reason to do that.

Administrator Christian Zahra said the Friends of Agnes Falls had been “very strong advocates”. “I think it’s more appropriate that the funding for this project comes from another source. The source, primarily, should be Parks Victoria,” he said. “It’s also worth putting on the public record that no other significant capital project has had funding allocated in the shire outside the ordinary budget process in the last five years. “It’s been an unusual process that’s led to that project having funding allocated within the council budget. It’s unusual too to think the project would have received 100 per cent contribution from the council.” He said it was a statement of fact “that this is Parks Victoria land and this is Parks Victoria’s core business”.

Fee hurts volunteers
E D I T O R I A L
Inverloch: home to a champion, beach in need
JOEL Barry (pictured) may look like any typical young bloke with a passion for adventure who loves the thrill of speed. But this Inverloch local has seen the world and conquered challenges in his quest to be the best in the world in his chosen sport. And that he is, for the second time. He won the IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour for the second consecutive year last week, a fitting accolade given he had endured a horrific accident after winning the first round of the title in Portugal this year. His story is an inspiration, proving that following one’s passion and achieving the ultimate success does not mean that you have to have access to infinite resources and be based in a capital city. This star of the world trains offshore of Inverloch’s surf beach, bringing positive media attention to the town’s beach after months of public discussion about how erosion is eating away the surf beach’s dunes. The issue of erosion remained in the headlines last week, with opposition politicians joining with concerned locals in calling for a rock wall to be built along the beach instead of sandbags, to guarantee the surf beach will not be further eaten away by the sea. Among those campaigning for a rock wall was former engineer, Keith Godridge. If this beach is to continue to be the backbone of Inverloch’s tourism-based economy, as well as produce future world champions, a prompt and permanent resolution to beach erosion must be given. There is no time for “pussy-footing”, as Bass Coast Shire Councillor Stephen Fullarton states in today’s Star. Real action is needed and now, not just to save Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club building and roads, but the beach as we all love to know it.
ONCE again I raise the issue of our shire charging all local sporting clubs a fee for food registration premises. Community-based volunteers give their time and energy for organisations throughout our shire. South Gippsland Shire Council requires all food registration premises to be registered and staff to have food handling qualifications and keep records to ensure all food standards are maintained. Community-based clubs comply with all of these requirements. Commercial kitchens pay an annual registration fee, and our shire community clubs and sporting clubs were given an exemption from payment having no paid staff (all volunteers). Council in their wisdom introduced a registration fee in 2019 of $150 and increased this again in 2020 to $300 for non-profit sporting clubs. The reason given is that some of our neighbouring councils apply this fee. Don’t bother inviting me to a shire recognition day for services provided by volunteers to the community of South Gippsland. Show us the appreciation where it counts – no fee! Marilyn Flett, Foster.
The dark side is being avoided I AM writing in the hope this letter will alert readers in the South Gippsland Shire of the disastrous impacts the proposed General Local Law 2014 (Amendment 1 of 2019) will have on a significant number of landholders. Under the proposed amendments, landholders who are not in an area zoned as Farming will need to obtain a permit and pay annual fees to keep animals. From Rural Activity Zone to Residential, all these landholders will be treated the same. While there will not be many residential properties that farm animals, the same cannot be said for those who live in the Rural Activity Zones. Rural Activity Zones were created in 2014 and include many properties which were previously zoned Farming. They consist of small properties mainly concentrated around the Kardella, Ruby, Loch, Mirboo North, Leongatha, Foster and Fish Creek areas. There would be hundreds of landholders in this zone. Under the proposed changes landholders will not be allowed to keep cattle, sheep, goats, horses, or the catch all, other agricultural animals, without a permit. How much a permit will cost and what the council will use to determine whether to grant a permit or not is not disclosed. The cost, both in terms of paperwork and money for landholders in the Rural Activity Zone are high. Money will need to be paid annually in order to keep livestock. It will not be the landholder who decides what livestock they wish to keep, rather it will be an undemocratically elected bureaucrat who may or may not have any farming knowledge at all. The effects of this lack of certainty about what a
SHOW SPIRIT: Marilyn Flett of Foster is calling on South Gippsland Shire Council to not charge community and sporting groups, such as football clubs, a food registration fee. landholder in the Rural Activity Zone can or cannot be allowed to farm will have a negative impact on property prices in the zone. Who would want to buy a farm when there is no certainty about how the land can be used? Lill Roberts, Kardella.
Promote timber technology THE knee-jerk reaction, by our local MPs to the proposed changes to saw log availability is typical of those who can’t see the wood for the trees, or past the next election. An emotional 10 second grab is unsatisfactory. To mount a reasoned argument they need to produce facts and figures, in this case cubic metres of logs involved. The history of European settlement of Australia from an environmental point of view - as is increasingly being realised - has been disastrous, with the loss of many life forms, both flora and fauna. It is to be hoped that the proposed changes to the timber industry will, in a small way help to redress this. If job losses are a concern we need to look no further than the demise of the Australian car industry- written off under a coalition government. At least, unlike the car industry, the timber industry will survive and with innovation can expect a healthy, sustainable future. One such innovation is radial sawing, a proven method of efficiently sawing small diameter logs, which the timber industry has been slow to adopt. I would be interested to know how much our members, both Chester and O’Brien, have done to promote this new technology. Iain McConachie, Won Wron.
Nature is medicine NATURAL resource development in Australia has been heading for a crisis since European settlement. Historically, all exploitive, natural resource industries, logically have an end. I love reading the historical lessons of the book Land of the Lyrebird which documents the optimist European development of South Gippsland.
Pioneer settlers, like my ancestors, were given incentives to clear the Great Gippsland Forests in the fertile Strzelecki Ranges, with an annual rainfall of around 1250mm. Our Mountain Ash trees are world famous giants, home of our lyrebird, unique plants and wildlife. However, since that time, with some wartime prosperity, our Aboriginal Tradition Land Owners have been decimated by indiscriminate, punitive development, and the land was exploited in a similar manner. Because of large scale land clearing and unsustainable land practices, there has been a concerning decline in farming viability, rural communities and environmental biodiversity and sustainability. In so many ways, it is historically, increasingly evident that our politicians have failed us with the false hope: that the driest continent on Earth could possibly feed the world. For over 50 years, as a growing number of farming and rural community families leave the land. It is clear our European exploitive, land management practices are in crisis, while many political and industry leaders are in self interested denial and promote community misinformation, blame and division. A national plan is urgent, to facilitate sustainable, appropriately managed environmental biodiversity, that is essential for all future developments. Today, South Gippsland receives less than 850mm of annual rainfall, and so much of our country is in drought and fire crisis. It’s time for change. Let us reimagine our Land of the Lyrebird; conserve and invest in our diminishing, precious and diverse remnant native forests, farm forestry and the science of more sustainable land management. Importantly, we must work to cooperate and invest with our city friends and develop a common, shared environmental purpose, that best serves the wellbeing of our communities. When we take so much, we must generously give back. Richard Lester, Leongatha.
COUNCIL MESSAGES Administrator Christian Zahra IT’S been an important week for council with two large infrastructure projects awarded. The first project, the Leongatha and District Netball Association courts redevelopment, will provide compliant outdoor netball courts, new sports floodlighting and accessible facilities which will enhance and encourage greater female participation. We approved the awarding of a contract for $655,410 to complete the project which will support the 600 local netballers who use these facilities every week. I want to particularly highlight the contribution of $150,000 from the Leongatha and District Netball Association which complements the State Government contribution of $500,000 made under the 2018/19 Female Friendly Facilities Fund. This is great local project that will serve a large number of local families. The second major community infrastructure project that we awarded was for the Mirboo North
Pool redevelopment. This is a $5.73 million contract that includes design and construction of a new 25 metre long, eight lane wide swimming pool, learn to swim pool inclusive of access ramps and surrounding concourses and a new children’s splash park. The Mirboo North community raised $1 million towards the project. We have added a heat pump that will extend the pool season. We also made the tough decision not to proceed to fund the Agnes Falls Reserve Scenic Lookout that had been budgeted by the previous council. After careful reflection, our view was to have gone along with the previous decision of the former council would have created an expectation across South Gippsland that council should fund similar lookout projects, particularly as other Parks Victoria locations and other state reserves are equally beautiful places and similarly valued by local residents..
Cr Brett Tessari THE local boating and fishing community gathered in Rhyll on Friday night, to check out Better Boating Victoria’s draft plans for the Rhyll boating facility upgrade. Representatives from Maritime Safety Victoria and the Victorian Fisheries Authority were also on hand on the night, to answer questions, provide a barbecue and they even put on a live flare demonstration. The community feedback received on the night will be used to develop the final plans for the upgrade, which will see a number of improvements made to the safety and useability of the current facility. If you couldn’t make it to the drop in session on Friday, jump on to Better Boating Victoria’s Facebook page. The Rail Trail Illumination Project, which received $198,000 through the State Government’s Pick My Project community grant initiative, was officially launched on Friday night.
Forty-eight solar lights have now been installed along the Bass Coast Rail Trail between McKenzie Street and South Dudley Road, including in the car park and community space behind Apex Park. It is so great to see this fantastic community driven project come to fruition, which will benefit trail users as well as the wider community. The lights have improved visibility, increased access and convenience and are bound to give trail users a better sense of security. A special shout out to Karen Thorp and Max Richter, who submitted the original application for consideration. Yesterday marked the start of the United Nation’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign. The campaign takes place every year between the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25 and International Human Rights Day on December 10.

tender at $115.2 million. This prompted the Federal Government to allocate an extra $32.6 million. A spokesperson for Major Road Projects Victoria said cost pressures were affecting infrastructure projects around Australia, including higher inflation, and demand for skilled labour and materials. “The additional funding that’s going towards this bungled project could have been used to fix up other sections of the South Gippsland Highway, the Strzelecki Highway, the Hyland Highway

There will also be a new underpass for the Great Southern Rail Trail near Caithness Road. The realignment would reduce the length of highway between Old Koonwarra-Meeniyan Road and Minns Road from 3.4km to 2.3km. The project will support up to 100 new jobs during construction.

Tap is best SOUTH Gippsland Water is on a mission to see consumers embrace the idea that tap water is best. As part of the Choose Tap Coalition, South Gippsland Water recently received results of research into consumer attitudes regarding drinking tap water. The research found that about 15 per cent of people are tap water skeptics - those who are suspicious of tap water in terms of quality and believe that it tastes inferior. Meanwhile, 19 per cent of the population full into the category ‘Water Supporters’. These consumers are ‘on-board’ with tap water and have confidence in its taste and quality. They are strong supporters of it from an environmental standpoint. The rest of the population lie somewhere in between. South Gippsland Water is responsible for the collection, treatment, supply and billing of local drinking water. With eight separate water supply systems supplying Wonthaggi in the west, Nyora in the north and as far east as Yarram, there is a lot of ground to cover and each township experiences its own unique challenges. If you’re not a “Water Supporter” what’s holding you back from the tap? SGW managing director Philippe du Plessis asked. “When it comes to water quality, we never take shortcuts. The dedicated staff at South Gippsland Water take water quality seriously and our water supply systems are regularly and rigorously tested,” he said. Mr du Plessis said water was sampled and analysed through all stages of collection, treatment, storage and distribution to the home. “Online devices continually monitor important water quality indicators, with many being programmed to alarm and shut down treatment plants automatically if specific operating limits are breached,” he said. “Our highly trained team of treatment operators also monitor water quality on a daily basis to ensure online analysers are working correctly, and so that adjustments can be made to treatment processes as required.” In addition, South Gippsland Water staff collect samples from across the water supply systems on a weekly basis and send these to an external laboratory in Melbourne for independent analysis. Results for regulated parameters are checked by the Department of Health every month. This is to ensure South Gippsland Water is meeting strict requirements of safe drinking water legislation. Since June 2018, South Gippsland Water has been using higher rates of the Melbourne Supply System water to respond to seasonal conditions at Lance Creek Reservoir and improve the taste of water supplied to customers in Wonthaggi, Cape Paterson, Inverloch, Korumburra, Poowong and Nyora.

TRAVEL Trafalgar Tours cover all your holiday bases AS a long time advocate of Trafalgar Tours, I travelled to the UK in May of this year and joined the Best of Britain tour with my granddaughter Pip. We travelled through England, Scotland and Wales on an 11 day tour encompassing many of the highlights Britain has to offer. Before commencing our tour we started with three nights in London to introduce Pip to the sights that are a must as a first time traveller to the UK. It’s always important to have a well located hotel, so we stayed at the Hilton Hyde Park, which gave us easy access to Kensington Palace, Hyde Park and Kensington itself to visit the V & A Museum. I always visit the V & A when in London which includes entry to the general exhibitions, and if you have time, one of the visiting exhibitions. Amongst other highlights including the London Eye, which gave us a scenic view of the city, a show in the West End, high tea in one of London’s charming little tea rooms, many of the major landmarks of London, and it wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Over the past 27 years I have participated in many Trafalgar tours, and have arranged two custom itineraries in conjunction with Trafalgar Tours’ groups department, including our Enchanting Christmas Markets of Central Europe in December 2015, and more recently, Majestic Britain in August 2018. Both tours were successful itineraries that enabled our guests to travel on an organised tour with fellow South Gippslanders. There is something quite reassuring about travelling on a guided holiday. You have well tested itineraries that include the majority of your arrangements, which helps you to budget for the out of pocket expenses that occur on every holiday. Trafalgar Tours travel directors are amongst the most professional in their field, as they must have a minimum of five years’ experience as a tour director before they can work with Trafalgar. This all helps to make your tour run smoothly and with transportation, centrally located first class hotels, all breakfasts and approximately half of your dinners, including the Be My Guest dinner. In our case we visited an historic family run farmhouse, which dated back to before the reformation. Our host Sir Ian gave us an entertaining tour of his property before we enjoyed a sumptuous home cooked meal. Pip and I also participated in all but one of the
optional tours, which are offered on tour to enhance your experience of the destination. If you’re considering a holiday to the Northern Hemisphere in 2020, now is the time to take advantage of the early payment discount of 10 per cent off the cost of the UK and European tours if you book and pay before December 18. There are even more savings to be made on multiple tours, or if you have travelled with either Trafalgar Tours or one of her sister companies in the past. As with all travel offers, conditions apply, which is why we allow time for appointments to go over both air and land to help tailor our clients’ individual holidays, whether they include flights, guided holidays or self guided arrangements. To make an appointment with one of our professional and friendly travel consultants to hear about how we can enhance your travel plans, contact Leongatha Travel and Cruise on 5662 3601.

Passion for pottery POTTERY has always been a passion for Kardella’s Rob Barron, and through his Gooseneck Pottery, the man with 45 years’ experience shares his passion with the public. Around 2000 pieces of beautiful art currently sit at Rob’s pottery, all available for the community to admire and purchase. The 63-year-old, who is also a part-time ski instructor at Mt Hotham, gets great satisfaction out of creating his woodfire pieces and giving them to the public. “You get variations in colour, shape and texture when you’re manipulating in a woodfire kiln. It’s unpredictable and exciting,” he said. “It’s rewarding to see people admire it and you want people to use the work too. Things like dishes, cups, bowls, vases, and other pots, it’s satisfying that people use those pieces.” Rob has been potting since he was 18, mastering his craft in countries like Japan, France, Portugal and Korea along the way. He now spends days and months on end creating his artwork in a kiln, which takes a five-day firing to produce a bunch of pieces. “The amount of work is pretty endless, and I had an injured arm and broken finger from skiing recently, so I had to wait for that to heal before I got back to it,” Rob said. The commitment and drive shown by Rob is reflected

through his work, with endless amounts of colourful and unique pieces sprawled around his pottery. While he works endlessly, Rob does also take some time off potting to instruct skiers on Mt Hotham. “I’ve always been a skier and have instructed for 25 years, which keeps me
fit, which is especially important because you need to be fit to do this sort of pottery,” he said. “I definitely get inspiration from it too because skiing is usually in a very beautiful environment.” With Gooseneck Pottery celebrating 35 years in 2019, this balance has paid off for Rob. If one thing’s for sure, Rob will be continuing to make pottery many more years into the future. “As long as I can still walk, I’ll be doing this,” he said. “I’ll scale back at some stage maybe, but I’ll always be potting.” The pottery will be open for the next two weekends for two days of wine, food and demonstrations.
CLEVER CRAFTER: Rob Barron, 63, has dedicated most of his life to creating pottery and uses a woodfire kiln at his Kardella pottery to create a number of eye-catching works.
Trees to be replaced SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council will replace the Queensland Brush Box trees cut down along Peart Street, Leongatha last week. Residents successfully petitioned council to have the trees removed, arguing the trees were a nuisance, since they dropped seed pods. Their roots have also been responsible for raising footpaths. Photos of the chopped-down trees drew sharp criticism on The Star’s Facebook page, including one person who wrote, “Disgraceful. Just because some people are unhappy! Get a backbone council and make a stand in support of the environment and wildlife. Just another reason not to go to Leongatha. The most boring and unattractive town. The mature trees are its only (or should I say ‘were’) its main asset.” Locals had a different take, with one commenting, “No sad face here..! I live on Peart Street and they had to go. Numerous people have taken a tumble on the footpath from it being lifted and from all the seeds on the path. It’s dangerous.” Council’s Fred Huitema said replacement trees would be planted in autumn 2020 and would be the same as ones on the other side of the street. “The footpaths will be inspected and any defects will be assessed according to the level of risk and prioritised to be repaired as part of the footpath maintenance program,” he said.

Teens get the FIRE AWARENESS phone signal Prepare for the fire season SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council is urging local residents to ensure their properties are fire ready in preparation for the upcoming fire season.
Local Laws officers will begin property inspections this year after the Country Fire Authority declare the fire danger period. Fire prevention notices will be issued to landowners who need to reduce the risk of bushfire on their property by slashing grass and removing combustibles. To ensure your property is prepared for the upcoming season make sure: • Gutters are clear of leaf litter. • Grass is cut to less than 10 centimetres. • Flammable items are removed from decks and verandahs. • Overhanging branches are cut. • Dry grass, leaves, twigs and bark are removed. • Shrubs are pruned away from branches. • Woodpiles are moved away from the home.

Motorbike fire alert ALBERTON West CFA members have issued a warning to motorbike to check their bikes for nests ahead of the coming summer. The warning came after they were called to a fire in Gelliondale recently, when a four wheel motorbike caught fire and was destroyed. CFA volunteer Steve Hanning said the bike had not been used for some weeks. “It appears that a bird or the like has made a nest near the motor of the bike and when it became hot as the owner was riding around his property checking fences, it caught fire,” he said. “The bike was destroyed.”

FIRE AWARENESS
Defence the best way to attack a bushfire Fire Danger Ratings are a good way to decide PLANNING is the key to fire safety when to leave. The higher the risk, the more likely around your farm and home this summer. The Country Fire Authority is advising farmers that before the fire season, they should check vehicles, equipment and hay, as well as fuel loads and stock. Vehicles and machinery should be inspected for working spark arrestors. Water fire extinguishers or knapsack spray pumps, with a minimum of nine litres available, should be carried by any person using farm equipment or machinery. Hay should be fully cured before baling to prevent spontaneous combustions, and propertyowners should ensure there are no gaps in sheds and other buildings where embers can land during a bushfire. Grass should be mowed around homes and sheds, and branches removed to reduce fuel loads. Be sure to take advantage of green waste disposal amnesty periods offered by councils. This also applies to houses that are near dense forest, bush or grassland. Farmers should also heavily graze an area where stock can be moved to in the event of a fire. Be sure this area has a reliable water supply too. Firefirefighters need clear access to a property in the event of an emergency and so ensure your property name or number is clearly visible. Have a routine in place for fire risk days, such as moving stock and limiting or postponing machinery use, and switching off electric fences to reduce fire risk.
you should leave. Around the home, be sure your garden design is not adding to your fire risk. Choose materials that are not flammable such as pebble mulch, and prune trees and shrubs away from buildings. Be sure gutters are cleaned ahead of summer and also regularly throughout the bushfire season. If embers from a bushfire land in gutters, they can quickly ignite debris and result in a house fire. Seal gaps around window and door frames with a fire retardant product, and consider installing shutters over the window and frame to protect windows from cracking from flying embers. Build decks with gaps between decking timbers to allow most embers to fall through. Be sure there is no fuel under the decking and that you have access to be able to extinguish any spot fires REDUCE RISK: Preparing for the fire season will help ensure any fire causes minimal damage to a home or farm. underneath.

The Mirboo North Italian Festa Committee was one of many worthy recipients of an annual Victoria Multicultural Award for Excellence last week. The committee received the Meritorious Service to the Community Award, for its leadership and commitment to preserving and sharing Italian culture through the annual Mirboo North Italian Festa.

Star of the South Australia’s first proposed offshore wind project We’re investigating the Star of the South project – an offshore wind farm off the south coast of Gippsland that has the potential to power hundreds of thousands of Victorian homes while creating thousands of jobs. Thank you to everyone who attended our recent community information sessions – we enjoyed meeting you and hearing your feedback on the Star of the South project. Thank you also to everyone who got involved online and via social media. A Consultation Summary is now available at starofthesouth.com.au/getinvolved where you can also sign up for further updates. There will be more opportunities to provide feedback as we continue to progress bringing offshore wind to Australia and Gippsland.

Learning is child’s play
Wellington Shire Briefs Grants help volunteers WELLINGTON Shire Council has allocated $53,421.25 to local community groups through its Quick Action Response Grants. The money was distributed from July until October 2019. The grants back projects that benefit the wider Wellington community. Successful local applicants included Woodside Football Netball Club, which received $2000 for its annual fishing competition over the Melbourne Cup weekend. The Gormandale Community House and Learning Centre received $2000 for its twilight market being held at the end of November. Gormandale Country Women’s Association were granted $700 toward its’ 70 birthday celebrations. Port Albert Progress Associations received $2000 to help with the running of its historical Alberton Cemetery tours.
Council rejects logging ban WELLINGTON Shire Council has voted unanimously to seek scientific data Premier Daniel Andrews used to make the decision about the future of the native timber industry. Council will also be expressing its profound disappointment there was no consultation with affected communities and other stakeholders before the decision was announced.
YARRAM Early Learning Centre is gearing up for a busy 2020. The centre has a new director and places at the centre are at a premium with kinder classes and the baby’s room booked out for 2020. Centre chairperson Malissa Nicoll welcomed the appointment of Cathy Gay to the role of director. Ms Gay took on the acting director’s role in June 2019, and has extensive experience working in childcare and kindergarten settings. She previously ran out of school hours care for the centre for two years and was room leader in the Bataluk room for two years as well. “Cathy has also had experience working in the three and four year old kindergarten prior to her commencement at the Yarram Early Learning Centre,” Ms Nicol said. Ms Gay is looking forward to what her new role will bring and the challenges she will face, given enrolments have already nearly reached capacity for 2020. “If families want bookings for next year, I strongly suggest ringing the centre now and booking in,” she said. “We try our best to support all families in the wider community, but because we have limited space, we may not be able to take them at this stage. “Ideally an expansion would be fabulous and then we would be able to accommodate all bookings.” The centre is at the Yarram Hub and is licensed to cater for 75 children. “We frequently fill to capacity and anticipate

Today we talk to Yarram Lion Club president Brianna Brewer (pictured with partner Jeff Hennig.) How did you come to be in Yarram? I’m originally from Buchan in East Gippsland. I moved here with my then-partner and my son Sam two weeks before Black Saturday. I started working at the Toora Nursing Home. I’m a diversional therapist by trade. Then I started working in Yarram, at the Country Club here. I live up at Tarra Valley now with my partner Jeff Hennig: he’s been a local here all his life. We’ve got a waterfall in our backyard; it’s like a mini rain forest. It’s really surprising, you’ve got all these farming communities around here and then you go up there and you’re in a different world really. I don’t like big crowds or big cities, I can’t stand it, and Yarram’s just the perfect size. The community is really cool.

TEAM LEADER: Kinder kids Nala Wignall, Levi Silvester, and Chase Arnol-Holt enjoy the play equipment at Yarram Early Learning Centre with newly appointed director Cathy Gay.
You do a lot of volunteering in the community too. Tell us about that. I’ve always been a part of a volunteer group. I was brought up in a small community (Buchan), so most of us did Red Cross first aid response. I have three siblings and we all know first aid – it was just the way we were brought up. We were part of junior SES too. Getting an ambulance was a pretty big deal – it was an hour and a half to get an ambo. When I came to Yarram and I became a single mum, I needed an outlet where I could go and meet people. I didn’t know much about service clubs, but I started helping out and became a Lion. I’ve been in Lions nearly six years now. We’ve got the classic barbeque, wood raffles and if someone is in need we help out. We also help with the Tarra Festival and the Easter fun day is a big thing for us too. Every cent we raise goes towards whatever we
say it’s raised for – when I learnt that, I thought that was pretty sweet. I do a lot of the youth programs through Lions. We’ve just done the peace poster – it’s an international project with 63 countries involved and 600,000 students, aged 11 to 13, and it’s to get kids to think about peace in an artist way. This year the theme was Journey of Peace and the picture had to tell a journey of peace, so it was pretty cool to see their interpretations. Next year I’m hoping to implement a free sight screening (optometrist) into the Yarram schools, and Alberton and Woodside if they want to come on board as well.
Are you seeking volunteers and members? Yes, if anyone wants to join, our club is really open! We encourage people to come to our meetings and check them out on the second and fourth Monday of the month. We have dinner meetings and there are always desserts! We’ve got a Facebook page, so message through there to let us know so that we can cater for you or email lionsyarram@gmail.com There’s no obligation to join. People with different interests as well. If they’ve got ideas, we can maybe find a project within our Lion scope for you to look at. It gets people with different interest to get involved also.

Hospital passes health check Deb Lucas RECOGNITION of service to Yarram and District Health Service by staff was one of the highlights at the YDHS annual general meeting last week. Eight members of the YDHS team were presented with Yarram traders shopping vouchers for their service over 10, 15 and 20 years. The board farewelled Robyn McLaughlin, who has served on the board for the past nine years and recognised the service of Garry Stephens who has served as chair of the audit and risk committee at YDHS for the past 13 years. Around 50 people, including representatives from Wellington Shire Council, attended the meeting, eager to hear how the health service is attracting and maintaining doctors in the area. YDHS board chair Frankie MacLennan was glowing in her praise of staff and volunteers. She acknowledged the tireless work of former chief executive officer Colleen Boag and welcomed new CEO Bernadette Wardle.
“The board is confident we have found a CEO to lead us through any challenges,” Ms MacLennan said. The meeting was told YDHS was running at a slight profit and there was a healthy attitude among staff. In the past year, the health service has passed heathcare audits. “Yarram aged care was found compliant and passed all standards. This is a credit to staff who has achieved such high standards,” Ms MacLennan said. She acknowledged work was still to be done on securing consistent medical cover. “The board and management are committed to the search for doctors looking to work in the area on a permanent basis,” Ms MacLennan said. “YDHS is the largest employer in the town and attracting and maintaining staff is up to all of us. “We have over 80 volunteers who help and support YDHS in many different ways.” Ms MacLennan acknowledged the support of the Bland family through the late Peg Bland’s generous bequest to the health service. The recent cyber attack, which disabled Gippsland hospitals’ internet service, has been rectified with most emails and other internet service running as per normal. YDHS will hold two open board meetings dur- DEDICATED SERVICE: Yarram and District Health Service Board chairperson Frankie ing the coming year. MacLennan (centre) thanked Garry Stephens who stepped down as chair of the Yarram and

Bank gives money away YARRAM Neighbourhood House committee will be able to spend up big on kitchen supplies thanks to a $500 donation from the Commonwealth Bank. The bank’s Vicki McLean gave the cheque to Yarram Neighbourhood House Network’s Cath Cook. Yarram Commonwealth bank manager Linda De Win said the CommBank donations program
is a way of thanking organisations and local people in the community. “In the past we have made donations to many diversified community groups in Yarram including Yarram and District Health Service and the Yarram Early Learning Centre, to name a few,” she said. Yarram Neighbourhood House provides a diverse range of programs across all ages.

Your farm is your business On-Farm Drought Resilience Grant now available A grant of up to $5000 is now available to eligible drought impacted farm businesses in the Wellington and East Gippsland shires. SPREADING KINDNESS: Yarram Early Learning Centre staff Carrie Wigg, coordinator Cathy Gay and room leader Kiera Williams put on blue shirts and enjoyed blue iced cupcakes as part of the Dolly’s Day morning tea.
Message of kindness YARRAM Early Learning Centre held a special morning tea in the Yarram Memorial Park to raise awareness and funds for the Dolly’s Dream foundation. The organisation was set up in memory of 14 year old Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, who took her own life after an extended period of bullying and cyber bullying. Kiera Williams, room leader in the Bataluk room at the kinder, was the driver of the Yarram fundraiser. “Dolly’s Dream is about bullying and to make it easier for our children to grasp this initiative we
have been promoting kindness in the centre,” she said. The children and staff enjoyed a blue themed morning tea in the park. Blue was Dolly’s favourite colour. “All the food has been donated and our staff members made a lot of goodies,” she said. “Café Aga contributed significantly to the morning as well. “A raffle will be drawn in the first week of December and tickets are still available at the centre if anyone wants to contribute to our fundraising efforts for Dolly’s Dream foundation.”

The sole $25,000 grant is an exciting opportunity for local organisations to develop a significant project for their community. “We are hoping that a grant of this size will encourage clubs and other organisations to collaborate and design a more ambitious proj-

A collaborative approach with partners will be key to the success of any application.” To help applicants avoid unnecessary paperwork, the Committee has divided the application process into two parts.
Stage one requires applicants to submit a brief expression of interest outlining their project before February 7, 2020, and to meet with the committee to discuss their proposal. Only applicants whose projects satisfy the grant criteria will progress to stage two, which involves submitting a detailed application. The fund has contributed more than $125,000 to the community.

College goes red for dyslexia STAFF at Newhaven College recently wore red to support the Light it Red for Dyslexia campaign that raises awareness of those who struggle to read, write and spell on a daily basis. Red was chosen for this campaign as it symbolises power and collective passion for positive change. The colour represents the daily dread of dyslexic students having their workbooks covered in red corrections. The vision of this campaign is for all people with dyslexia to be understood, acknowledged, empowered and to have equal access to opportunity. The word dyslexia comes from the Greek language and means difficulty with words. It is a difference in the way the brain works. Dyslexia is a characterised by difficulties with fluent word recognition, poor spelling and decoding abilities. Dyslexia affects at least one in 10 people, is genetic, does not affect IQ and is lifelong. Dyslexic people also have many strengths in other areas, making them successful people in life. They are creative thinkers, intuitive, problem solvers, analytical thinkers, have great spatial knowledge, are persistent and can be big picture thinkers.
RAISING AWARENESS: Back, Walter Hiatt. Back row (L-R) Bridget Haines, Karen Faulwetter, Donna Driscoll, Rikki Porter, Fiona Smart, Barb Milne, Richard Prideaux, Linda Austin and Ruth Turton. Front (L-R) Tegan Humble, Shona O’Dempsey, Melissa McMillan, Kate Middleton and Nina Prideaux.

AS the weather moves into warmer spring days, snakes become more active. All livestock, particularly horses, are sensitive to the effects of snake venom. The severity of a snake bite depends on the size and species of the snake, the period since the snake had last bitten prey, the time after hibernation, the size of the animal it has bitten and the location of the bite. Snake venom paralyses muscles. Affected animals may show signs of excitement, develop muscle tremors and have a staggery gait. Affected animals may dribble saliva. Paralysis of the respiratory muscles will lead to respiratory depression and death resulting from asphyxia. If an animal receives a small dose of venom it may recover after one to five days. Snake bite can be difficult to diagnose at postmortem as the small puncture wounds and local swelling can be difficult to find in a large animal. Diagnosis is often based on the sighting of a snake and the exclusion of other diseases. If you suspect your animal has been bitten by a snake, seek veterinary help immediately, even if your animal is not showing any signs of envenomation. TAKE ACTION: Agriculture Victoria is urging dairy farmers to attend a workshop to help The correct antivenom for the species of snake involved needs to be given and most veterinary develop a biosecurity plan for their business, which is important when they are sourcing clinicals will have anti-venene that covers one or fodder from off-farm. more species of snake.

Wave of protest LOCALS made their thoughts known this week at Norman Beach, as they gathered as part of a nation-wide protest into offshore oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight. Sandy Point surfer Kelly Laity told The Star, protesters had gathered to raise awareness of the “impact a potential oil spill could have on our local communities industry, recreation, environment and livelihoods”. “I feel there would be many locals opposed to this issue if we could attract more awareness and understanding of the potential implications,” she said.

An excellent field of men turned out to contest this coveted event and many left exhausted after a massive day of tennis. Matthew Pocklington emerged as the club’s singles champion, too good for a gallant Rob Brownlow in the final. Unfortunately for Rob, this was his third runner-up in the past three years. Better luck next year Rob. A huge field of 16 players contested the open mens doubles event. With eight pairs contesting, the tennis was hot, particularly from a seasoned pair in Greg Edwards and Paul Ramsbottom. After many sets, the final was contested by Warren and Will Littlejohn against Matt Pocklington and Harry Taylor-Smith, with Matt and Harry too good, winning 6-2. The section two mens singles was a round robin event won by Andrew Lowry and the section two doubles was taken out by Andrew Lowry and Shane Greeley. Our ladies singles event was taken out by Zara Littlejohn, who defeated Renae Littlejohn in an entertaining match. It was a great day of tennis and the Leongatha Tennis Club was thrilled with the amount of players. Thanks to the organisers of the matches and the guys who cooked a delicious barbecue lunch. Results are as follows: Mens open singles: Matt Pocklington def Rob Brownlow. Mens open doubles: Matt Pocklington and Harry TaylorSmith def Warren and Will Littlejohn. Mens section two singles: Andrew Lowry winner. Mens section two doubles: Andrew Lowry and Shane Greeley winners. Ladies open singles: Zara Littlejohn def Renae Littlejohn.

Goal scored for LDNA NETBALLERS scored a goal this week, with news the proposed redevelopment of Leongatha District Netball Association’s is ready to go ahead. The contract for the redevelopment has been awarded to local company BJ’s Earthmoving Redevelopment committee member and outgoing association president Anna Patterson said the announcement was “very timely”. “Money needs to be spent to maintain. The funding and the project has come together at the right time, because we need to redo quite a few things,” she said. “This helps us be complaint with Netball Victoria’s and Netball Australia. It becomes a safer environment. We’ve hosted tournaments in the past, but those administrative bodies are becoming more selective. “This will give us the capacity to host larger tournaments. A new venue is always going to attract interest and we are gradually increasing our participation rates.” A total of $655,150 has been allocated to
complete the project. The LDNA has contributed $150,000 towards the project, with council securing $500,000 in grant funding from the Victorian Government under the 2018/19 Female Friendly Facilities Fund. The project will deliver: • Compliant outdoor netball courts with new asphalt wearing course over the court. • New sports floodlighting. • Accessible facilities, designed to enhance and encourage greater female participation. Council administrator, chair Julie Eisenbise said the project would deliver much needed upgrades to an important community asset. “What a wonderful project to announce yesterday, the Leongatha and District Netball Association Courts Redevelopment Project is expected to support over 600 netballers who use the facility every week,” she said. “It’s great to see the association contributing $150,000 towards the project, it just proves their commitment to ensuring local netball has the high quality facilities to match the local talent. “It was pleasing to be able to award this contract to a local company.”

Mirboo North HELLO Kookaburras. There was no bowling throughout the district last week due to state competition. The idea is that it provides opportunity for players to play in higher competition. The reality is that the local clubs lost a day of bowling in good weather that has been sorely lacking to date. The clubs that have players good enough to compete in a state event also have enough players to cover their place in absentia. Maybe next year things will change, one can only hope. Mirboo North has been hosting students from Mirboo North Secondary College for the last six weeks on a course of sports discovery by having selected students try out bowls on our greens. The bowls club would like to thank the students for their attendance and would also like to thank the teachers for their good work and dedication to duty. The monthly triples were held at Mirboo North on November 14. The sponsor for the day was Stockdale and Leggo. The winning team comprised off John Henly, John Dush and Keith Cousins. This team achieved 65 shots. The runners-up team for the day was Alan Hanks team with John Cocking playing second and the inimitable precision bowler Jimmy Lye playing lead. Alan’s team made 62 points for the day, close but alas not close enough to take out the day. Keep laughing till next time, RG.
(L-R) Frank Seaton is Wonthaggi singles champion, with Brian Donohue runner-up.
Port Welshpool IT has been a quiet couple of weeks at the club because of Vic Open week. Unfortunately our green-keeper will be out of action indefinitely, meaning we have, even more so, needed the expert services of Alan Spooner to watch over our green in his absence. Our club is extremely thankful Alan has been able to help us out. Saturday Pennant resumed with the long trip to Corinella which unfortunately resulted in all three rinks going down by a total of 56-93. We sincerely thank Corinella for providing us with three substitute players. Next week we are at home against Inverloch. Mid Week Pennant resumes this week when we take on Foster at home. Last Wednesday we held our November 3 Bowl Monthly Triples. The weather gods put out a beautiful day which finally allowed us to get out on the green, not that we can complain about the magnificent rain we’ve had.
We had nine visiting teams, whom we thank them for supporting our club. Congratulations to the Meeniyan team of Dale Kelly, Ray Corry and Jeff Wilson who took out the day. Our next Monthly Triples is Wednesday, December 18. Port Welshpool and District Bowling Club is thrilled to have the Toora and District Community Bank Branch and Foster branch as our sponsor for our annual three-day tournament which is fast approaching next month on December 28-30. We hope this sponsorship is just the first step in a long partnership with our club. If you would like to enter a team into our next Monthly Triples or our annual tournament, call Margaret on 5185 1226 or Errol on 0417 133 271. Weekly training and visitors barefoot bowls is Fridays from 4.30pm, followed by barbecue and salad dinner. Visitors $5. Drinks at bar prices. Contact Errol for more information.

Wonthaggi THIS week we had the final of the men’s and ladies’ singles club championship. The two matches were played in near perfect conditions on Sunday morning in front of a large group of interested club members. The men’s final was played between Frank Seaton and Brian Donohue. The match is the first to 25 shots, which can produce lots of twists and turns during the match. This was no different with Frank claiming victory 25-15, which was by no means an easy win with both bowlers using the greens with great skill and temperament. The ladies was played on the next rink with the scoreboards in place with the bowlers names printed. The winner of the ladies match was Heather Blanch, who had an epic battle with her twin sister, Dawn Jensen, 25-23. Well done to all. It was great display of bowls under pressure. Wednesday had a good number of 30 bowlers do battle in mild weather. The winning team was
Rob Aiken, George Pargeter and Terry Biddulph, who got home from the team of Roy Smith, Ray Hin and Wally Leijen. The same could not be said of the weather on Thursday with 22 crazy people out on the greens. The only two game winners were Frank Tagell, Heather Blanch, Pam Wintrup and skip Helen Brosnan. Saturday Pennant got under way this week with the divisions 1, 3 and 4 teams winning. Two very good wins at home against Phillip Island by divisions 1 and 3, and a good win by division 4 at Meeniyan. That leads us to division 2 which went to Phillip Island. An invitation to all bowlers past and present from Trevor and everybody at the club to call in have look at all the work that has been done. Call in and have a look at the pennant matches and enjoy a cold drink or share a cuppa. A final reminder to book your place for the Christmas party which is on Friday, December 6.

Foster THE big highlight last week was the score of 29 pts by Martyn Saunders, off his 21 handicap to win the Friday chook run. Martyn had a par round of 36 off the stick on holes one to nine. A score of 29 pts is unprecedented and unlikely to ever be repeated – one would certainly say it is well beyond having a hole in one. Martyn was quick to point out that he also had two lip-outs – but he did sink two 20 footers. Tuesday, November 19 Robin Smith (22) returned from a period in the wilderness to win with 38 pts. DTL were Dave Hutchinson (15) and Gary Buckland (22) both on 37. NTP’s were Peter Dight and Tony Vanin. Thursday November 21 Tony Vanin (7) won with 37 pts. DTL was Norm Cooper (14) 34. The NTP’s both went to Dereck Summers. Friday November 22 Martyn Saunders (21) won with 29 pts. DTL were Ian Griffiths (26) 17, and Bill Fuller (28) and Brod Courtney (21) both on 16.

Aussie bass stockings get underway in Gippsland RECREATIONAL fishers in Gippsland are smiling from ear to ear thanks to the stocking of over 130,000 Australian bass into 11 lakes and rivers yesterday to further improve freshwater fishing opportunities in the years ahead. Victorian Fisheries Authority CEO, Travis Dowling, said Australian bass are a highly regarded sportfish, native to Gippsland and Australia’s east coast, and have thrived since the annual stocking program for the species was ramped up. “The state-wide stocking program is funded by fishing licence fees and the State Government’s $35 million ‘Target One Million’ plan to get more people fishing, more often, in more places,” Mr Dowling said. Yesterday’s bass were released into these waters, with more fingerlings to be stocked soon. • Mitchell River – 39,000 • Lake Glenmaggie– 25,000 • Blue Rock Lake – 45,000 • Avon River – 5,000 • Valencia Creek – 1,000 • Rainbow Creek – 1,000 • Thomson River – 5,000 • Cowwarr Weir – 2,000 • Tyers River – 2,000 • Traralgon Creek – 1,000 In addition, the Macalister River received 5,000 bass downstream of Lake Glenmaggie and SWIM SAFE: With the weather heating up and the Wellington Shire outdoor pools open- 2,000 above.
BASS RELEASE: 130,000 Australian bass have recently been released into Gippsland rivers and lakes. Reports from local fishers confirm that bass stocked previously into the above listed waters have survived and grown well and are providing exciting fishing for beginners and keen fishers on lure, bait and fly. Several of the stocked fisheries are now considered good enough to host competitions, like those in New South Wales and Queensland, which have been the envy of Victorian lure-casters for years. Mr Dowling said Victorian fishers no longer have to travel interstate to bag a bass now that we have productive fisheries at destinations like Glenmaggie and Blue Rock. The VFA will shortly begin stocking estuary perch fingerlings too, a close relative of Australian bass.
ing last week, lifeguards Georgie Banik, Emma Gash and supervisor Chelsea Petterson are gearing up for a busy season ahead.

Barracudas win the volleyball flag SOUTH Gippsland Volleyball’s junior grand final saw the Barracudas snatch victory from the Storm in a narrow win with only two points the difference. The top three teams - Barracudas, Storm and Sassy Salmons were evenly matched as shown by the close games leading into the final. Most disciplined player was awarded to Troy while Ziggy was presented with the President’s Award. Awards were presented by newly appointed president, Paul Chalmers. This season, the junior volleyball program continued to build on a strong first half of the year. The Spikezone program offers a specialised program for the young, including softer balls and modified game play so all can enjoy making improvements each week. For more experienced players, training focused on skill development and game-play under the guidance of coaches Nic Ryan, Tania Ryan,
Mandy Fletcher and Liselott Webster. Nic recently returned from the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships where the team he coached took out the Gold medal, a result that demonstrates the opportunities in the sport to junior players. The addition of junior coaches, Annika Webster, Natasha Hibma, Alexandra Scott enables new skill development for younger players ready to take on more responsibility. Alexandra recently returned with a silver medal from the Australian Junior Volleyball Champions and was able to share this experience with younger players.

Munday, Mike Munday and Michael Bright won the premiership for Purple Meanies.
It was a pleasant surprise for the Korumburra Association, who only learned they were in the running for the accolade a few days before the award was presented to them. “We are blown away,” states association president Mat Holmes said. “The award has really come out of left field, but it’s a huge honor and we are really grateful to be recognised in this way.” The Victorian Junior Basketball League incorporates competitions conducted state-wide and provides the highest level of junior competition in Victoria. The VJBL boasts over 1200 teams from 54 associations across Victoria and schedules over 14,500 games across 78 venues each season. The Korumburra Basketball Association has worked hard over many years to provide competitive teams within the league, against much larger and stronger metropolitan associations. “I’m not sure if people understand the commitment and hard work that goes into
running such a program, but we have a great coordinator in Scott McKenzie who leads the charge, and a fabulous committee, as well as the support of the wider local basketball community,” Mat said. During the presentation, Korumburra Basketball was recognised for their continued and consistent on court success, having five out of seven teams compete in finals, the U12s boys taking out the premiership and the U14s girls finishing runners-up and for the first time ever having a team (U18s boys) compete at the highest possible level in Championship Division. The Wildcats are continually receiving positive feedback on their incredible hospitality when hosting home games. “It was a real pat on the back, when several delegates mentioned the good old country hospitality we provide. We always get lots of compliments about the presentation of our courts, the fact that we announce all of the players before each game, and provide a supper for all visiting teams every week. The kids love it, and it’s something that gives us a point of difference,” Mat said. “We really pride ourselves on not only being able to compete against larger clubs, but also providing a platform and Korumburra Wildcats VJBL co-ordinator Scott McKenzie opportunity for kids right throughout the (right) receiving the award for VJBL Small Association of South Gippsland region to play at this the Year from VJBL Chairperson Mr Ian Leckie. higher level.”

Families and friends young and old all enjoyed the day of racing and entertainment at the club, which included music, food and even a clown creating balloon animals for kids. “Everything went well. The hospitality was great, the weather was great, and everyone was just in good spirits,” club secretary Adam Olszanski said. “It was brilliant to see a good range of people come down and have a good time.” A crowd of 2000 witnessed a total of six races throughout the day. “It probably exceeded our expectations really,” Adam said. “We had 500 more through the gates than the last couple years and it was our best attendance in November in over 10 years, so it was great.”

Adam’s onboard Daniel Renfrey WITH 20 years of affiliation with the Woolamai Racing Club under his belt, Adam Olszanski has taken the reigns as secretary for the 2019/20 season. The 36-year-old race caller has been the main caller at Woolamai for over a decade but took up the secretary opportunity just a few months ago after long-time Bev Carmichael stepped away from the role. “I’ve been a race caller here and at a professional level for 20 years but I’m sort of dipping my toe into the administration side of horse racing now,” Adam said. “I’m looking forward to helping out the club as much as I can.” In terms of what his goals as secretary of the club are, the passionate racegoer is making sure not to reverse any of the good which has been done over the last 18 years under Bev. “Bev did a terrific job and I don’t want to go backwards or change too much,” he said. “We still do want to increase attendances and
sponsors and touch up a few spots. We’ve also opened up the marquee area to increase capacity, so hopefully that helps.” The attendances seem to be growing as well, with the club’s first race meet of the season bringing in a big crowd on Saturday. Around 2,000 people came through the gate and enjoyed a day of races and entertainment at Adam’s first race meet ass secretary. “It was pretty hectic for me, so to get the first meeting out of the way and for it to be a big success was great,” he said. “The club was one of the first to give me an opportunity as a race caller and I always want to come back here each year so hopefully we can continue to grow.” With Adam passionate and experienced in not just racing, but the Woolamai Racing Club itself, the club is in secure hands going forward.
NEW ROLE: Adam Olszanski has been involved with the Woolamai Racing Club for around 20 years but has this season taken on the secretary role and is eager to grow the club’s success.

The club is experiencing growth but is also providing a wonderful place to play sport, be respected, welcomed, included and celebrated. Much of this should be credited to the club’s ability to appoint good people to their teaching and coaching roles and strong leadership from the top. Both Sean and Anne Marie, affectionately known by the moniker ‘Diddy’, are not only coaches but respectful club and community people with high integrity, values and an innate ability to get more out of players than many coaches can, mainly due to giving everyone in their team a chance to shine and learn. For a single club to be recognised in the youth and female coaching space is a credit to the Phillip Island Football Club and to both coaches.

Harry has a day out AT just 13 years, Koonwarra-Leongatha RSL player Harry Hoekstra has shown major promise by carrying his bat for 118 not out against Kilcunda-Bass in C2. The promising cricketer stayed composed as he dealt with each bowler Killy Bass threw at him. Not only did Hary play carefully around the ground, picking up handy singles and doubles, but he also swung his way to an impressive 14 fours. His class was much needed for the Cougars, who finished the innings with 8/212 off of Harry’s well-controlled innings. Harry was over the moon with his total, perhaps even surprising himself with how composed and effective he was. The young gun has put his side in a strong position heading into this Saturday and will certainly be one to watch throughout the season.

The ground was in excellent condition and the wicket was hard, a credit to the work of John Mercer, the MNCC groundsman. Some of the Goannas had travelled to India with a group of the RU players, and, as they were short, Kevin Lanigan and Peter Anton ‘volunteered’ to play with them. Winning the toss, the RU team decided to bat, and Ian Southall had a wicket through a nice catch by Murray Moore on the second ball. Three catches were missed or dropped in the first 10 overs, as Shane Way and Terry Martin took the score to 28. Murray Moore and Neil Meredith replaced the opening bowlers and the score advanced to 2/62 at the drinks break. Kelvin Bond entered the fray and had immediate success, with skipper and stand-in wicketkeeper Ken Bailey taking a good catch.

Bailey and Nunn opened the batting as Anton opened the bowling. Nunn was run out in the third over, allowing Col Carmody to come to the crease. Lanigan came into the attack and had Bailey caught behind, for a well made 35. Moore was next in and Carmody was stumped, also for 35, in the 18th over. The Goannas reached drinks at 3/105, a healthy run rate. Neil Meredith came and went quickly, but scored 43 runs from the 29 balls he faced.

Leongatha won the toss and batted with Aaron Bardwell and Rohan Slade opening. They added 58 for the opening partnership until Rohan was caught for 17.

Phillip Island start strong against Pies A 67-run effort from Steve McIntyre in sitting at 4/46 heading into this Saturday. Nerrena made a solid total at home against the opening innings of the day saw PI Club, with Ben Martin making 50 and James Kelget the jump on Poowong-Loch in the ly making 45 not out. B1 division. Martin’s runs came early on, while Kelly was With partner Keating being dismissed early, it was up to McIntyre to make a total. The Magpie attack, led by Regan with 3/56, could not withstand the strong batting of McIntyre, who was supported well by Taylor (47) and Finlayson (51). The home side declared at a 6/234 score, giving themselves a strong start to the two-day match. Nicholls started well at the crease for the Magpies with 21 runs, but the PI attack bowled consistently and held the opposing order, with the side
able to contribute for the middle order. Their side finished with 205, eventually falling to a solid Club attack. Tessari was the visitors’ best bowler, with 2/31 and was helped by Cornelis and Evans, who had two apiece. A strong 4/43 performance from KilcundaBass’ Chris Peckett prevented OMK from making an unbeatable total. Joel Cuman was dominant for the visitors, making an impressive 83 runs, but despite totals
from Busana (41), Paterson (44) and Dell (32) the rest of the order struggled, the team finishing on 218, giving Killy Bass a shot next week. Col McPhee (4/28) and Brendan Tomada (3/54) combined in the Koonwarra-Leongatha RSL attack to bowl Glen Alvie out for 166. Honeysett was the major run-getter for the home side with 46 but could not lead his team past the 200 mark. Anthony Hunt made a promising start to the Cougars’ innings and his team sits on 0/6 for day two. Inverloch sits shakily in position to beat Town after Saturday’s action. A 4/19 effort from Invy’s Hayes saw Town go down for just 97 in the opening innings. Proceedings started poorly for the Stingrays though, with Stewart, Phillips, Williams and Brayley all falling for small totals, their team sitting on 4/43 after 31 overs. While Foster only made 123 against Imperials,
their opponent looks vulnerable after day one. Busuttil got the Tigers off to a strong start at home, making 51, but did not receive much support from others in the order, with only Roberts (25) and Cripps (12) making double figures. Kristian Gray was the standout bowler for Imps, taking 3/9. The visitors started reasonably well with the bat, with Van Rooy making 39, but he was soon dismissed by Collis, who had four wickets for the day, and the order then started to tumble. The teams finished the day with Imps sitting on 6/83, still having a bit to do come Saturday. Burra made a solid 212 total against home side MDU, with six players scoring in double digits. Crocker (32), Allen (28), Checkley (38), Celebrine (23), Scott (30) and Meade (34 not out) all got in on the act as the Demons fought through a 3/52 performance with the ball from Hoober to set themselves up nicely for this week.

Brilliant Beau can be amongst Victoria’s best working on different parts of my game,” Beau
Daniel Renfrey said. “I’m also at Leongatha South a few times a week AT just nine years of age, Leongatha’s hitting balls and I practice in my backyard too. I hit Beau Elkin is making huge noise in the a couple hundred balls a week at least.” golfing scene. For coach Payne, the progress Beau has made With a handicap of 17, the ability to drive a ball 200 metres and more than a few achievements to his name, the promising putter will take to Karingal tomorrow to compete in the Victorian primary golf competition. He will compete as one of the youngest there, against mostly 12-year-old golfers, and receive a state-wide ranking. “I hope to finish at least in the top 30, I was 69th last time,” Beau said. “I’m confident I can make it; I’ve improved a lot since last year.” That would almost be an understatement. Just this year, Beau has seen his handicap drop from 24 to 17 and has improved his all-around game, developing at an astounding rate. Just last Sunday, he achieved a score of one-over par 73, nett 56 on 18 holes, achieving three birdies during the session. That card could see his handicap drop down to near 10. Part of Beau’s fast development has been his training with PGA coach John Payne in Korumburra, and his drive to improve. “I get lessons from John every two months just
has been nothing short of impressive. “What’s most impressive is his ability to stay cool, calm and collected. He’s not afraid of tournament golf,” coach Payne said. “It’s dangerous to look too far ahead at this age but he has a lot of qualities, he just needs to keep improving.” With the passion he has for the game and the guidance he has from his coach and his father, Rod, Beau will undoubtedly continue to improve. “We live on the course,” Rod said. “It’s practice, practice, practice. Last school holidays he played about 107 holes. I’m amazed at how well he’s doing. I’m over the moon.” While his mind is set on the primary competition tomorrow, Beau still has long-term goals in the p back of his mind. For someone so talented, these goals surprise nobody. “I hope I can keep having fun playing gold and being as good as I can be,” he said. “I really want to make it to the PGA one day.” With a strong work ethic, the right mentors and clear natural ability, the kid from Leongatha might just be a champion in the making.
