CONCERNED LOCAL: Tina Nelson of Inverloch is worried erosion at Inverloch will impact tourism and the town’s surf lifesaving club. Below, The Star launches its Save Our Shore campaign on May 21.

OUR CRIES FOR HELP HEARD THE Inverloch community sent out a mayday announce the State Government would spend $1.15 million on urgent works at Inverloch’s surf beach. call to save its beloved coast.

The Star joined with concerned locals and members of the South Gippsland Conservation Society to amplify their pleas.

The coast needed government funding to help protect dunes from the likely risk of further significant erosion.

The beach had already copped a battering from storms and tides.

Dunes and trees had fallen into the sea, washed away forever.

The situation was dire, with the future of the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club and Bunurong Road at stake.

A building made with public donations and a popular tourism road could not be left to be claimed by the intruding sea.

Last Friday, the community’s plea for help was heeded.

Bass MLA Jordan Crugnale was in Inverloch to

This follows months of stories by The Star, promoting the community’s efforts to have authorities act as Inverloch counted down to the start of the summer tourism season.

Ms Crugnale said $700,000 of the State Government funding would be used toward a partnership between government agencies and the community over two years, which will work on short-term projects.

A further $450,000 will go toward the installation of a geotextile sandbag wall to help protect the surf club. “We cannot do this alone,�

Ms Crugnale said. “A long-term strategic approach must be taken to protect the social, environmental and economic values of our coastline and foreshores.�

The Save Our Shore campaign has been a success.

Long journey worth the effort for $1.15m FROM the moment dunes at Inverloch began being eaten away by the sea, The Star joined with the community to lobby for government action through our Save Our Shore campaign over several months.

The Star worked with the South Gippsland Conservation Society to raise awareness of the threat to roads, the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club and even housing, as Inverloch’s surf beach receded.

We reported how the society said any action to arrest beach erosion could well only be a stopgap measure.

Then there was the launch of the Inverloch Climate Resilience Project to look at broader coastal issues and campaign for action.

We covered how authorities attempted to protect the dunes, the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club and Bunurong Road with sand nourishment works – effectively reinstating the eroding beach.

Then there was Bass Coast Shire Council declaring a climate emergency and calls for the extension of the Surf Parade pathway to be abandoned, given that doing so would entail removing vegetation and thereby further risk the integrity of the dunes.

We reported how the Friends of the Earth invited Premier Daniel Andrews to inspect Inverloch’s ailing coastline for himself.

This followed visits by representatives of the CSIRO and Monash University, and Victorian Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio, such was the urgency of the situation.

Then we wrote how a report by the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council found that coastal homes – including those at Inverloch were at risk of inundation from rising seas.

Another chapter in the Save Our Shore campaign is in today’s edition, as we report the State Government will spend $1.15 million for emergency erosion works to save Inverloch’s beach.

Star campaign helps secure beach funds Matt Dunn THE Star’s call for action on the dramatic collapse of Inverloch beach has been heeded, with $1.15 million in emergency funds from the State Government.

Change, Lily D’Ambrosio said the State Government was “preparing the Victorian coast for the climate challenges it’s facing through research, policy change and on ground action”.

“We know how important the coast is to the Inverloch community and we want to help ensure they can enjoy it for many years to come,” she said.

Despite some community fears federal funding could fall through, Monash MP Russell Broadbent said his election pledge of $1.5 million still stood.

“During the election campaign I was proud to have been able to secure $1.5 million in Federal Government funding towards the Bass Coast Shire Council’s coastal erosion mitigation project on the re-election of a Morrison Government,” he said.

“The Bass Coast Shire Council is now in the process of completing an application to the Federal Government’s Environment Restoration Fund which formalises this process in receiving the Federal Government funding.

“I look forward to seeing the mitigation works progress with the financial assistance of the Federal Government that I was able to secure.”

The money will be used to save the town’s surf club and help arrest erosion on the beach, which is now also threatening nearby Bunurong Road.

Making the announcement in Inverloch last week, local resident and Bass MLA Jordan Crugnale said the funding was “fantastic news for the Inverloch community and visitors to our region”.

The money comes on the back of a Federal Government commitment of $1.5 million in coastal erosion mitigation funding for the Bass Coast Shire, a fair portion of which will go to Inverloch.

Ms Crugnale said $700,000 of the State Government’s funding would be used toward the pilot development of a Regional and Strategic Partnership (RaSP) under the new Marine and Coastal Act 2018, which will work together with the community during the next two years on short-term projects.

Agencies collaborating to form the RaSP include the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Bass Coast Shire Council, Parks Victoria, Regional Roads Victoria, Gippsland Ports, and the Bunurong Land Council.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Works have continued at Inverloch beach, with more planned A further $450,000 will go in the future. toward the installation of a geotextile sandbag wall to help protect the Inverloch surf club.

“The funding for emergency works and a pilot RaSP comes after a long advocacy campaign and we are pleased to be building and extending the collaborative work already underway. We cannot do this alone,” Ms Crugnale said.

“A long-term strategic approach must be taken to protect the social, environmental and economic values of our coastline and foreshores.”

Aside from the surf club, adjacent Bunurong Road is also under threat.

Minister for Energy, Bass MLA Jordan Crugnale said the funding was “fantastic Environment and Climate news for the Inverloch community and visitors to our region”.

POLICE BRIEFS

COP SHOP CLOSED: Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien with concerned resident Barbara Pullinger, in front of a closed Mirboo North police station.

Police vanish in Mirboo North MIRBOO North’s thin blue line is almost nonexistent, with virtually no police in the town.

Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said he’d been contacted by locals concerned about a lack of police presence in the town.

“I understand there are usually three officers stationed at Mirboo North, but due to a combination of factors there is no one permanently stationed in the town,” he said.

Mr O’Brien said he had raised concerns about police presence in South Gippsland in Parliament and was concerned the government is not treating it seriously.

“Police numbers across South Gippsland are already stretched very thin with minimal presence between Phillip Island and Welshpool on week nights,” he said.

“We now have police from other stations having to cover Mirboo North most of the time and that’s just not acceptable.”

Drug fire probe WONTHAGGI Police and CFA members were called to a house fire in White Road, Wonthaggi at about 9.30pm on Saturday.

The house boasted an extensive hydroponics set up. Investigations are continuing.

Theft at Korumburra POLICE were called to Murray Goulburn rural supplies last Friday, after reports of thefts at the site.

Police believe the raids – which netted thieves more than $12,000 in goods, including several boxes of drench – occurred over two nights, but were not immediately noticed.

Phone Rite arrest A 16 YEAR OLD Leongatha boy will attend court at a future date after a recent break-in at Bair Street, Leongatha’s Phone Rite store.

Car break-ins LEONGATHA Police are once again urging car owners to lock their vehicles after six reports of thefts from unlocked vehicles in the Blair Crescent area of Leongatha.

“If people observe suspicious behaviour I would urge them to call 000 immediately. We’d prefer the community to ring us every time,” Sgt Dale McCahon said.

“We’d rather go to dozen of false calls than not get one.”

Sgt McCahon said people should always play it safe, but if they were in a position to observe something, vehicle registrations, descriptions of the offender and directions of travel were all vital pieces of information for police.

Weapons seized YARRAM Police have seized firearms, after family violence intervention breaches in recent weeks.

Yarram Police sergeant Brian Howard said a number of charges have been laid in relation to the breaches and offenders will face the Sale magistrate in due course.

Drugs found A YARRAM woman and man in their 40s have been charged with cultivation and possession offences and bailed to appear at Sale Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

The charges come after raids last week on two Yarram properties by police and members of the dog squad. The first raid uncovered cannabis and cannabis plants, while the second found heroin, ice and cannabis.

SCHOOL’S OUT: Year 12 students of Mary MacKillop Regional College, Leongatha, were overjoyed to be completing their secondary school years.

Year 12s’ time to celebrate MARY MacKillop Regional College Year 12s commemorated the end of their secondary schooling at Celebration Day on Friday.

The seniors wore costumes and blasted each other, as well as students from lower years, with silly string.

Nobody was safe however, as even teachers fell victim to the graduates-to-be.

Among standout costumes were Kath and Kim, Donald Trump, Harry Potter, The Cat in the Hat, Mr Potato Head and a Leprechaun.

The day consisted of morning celebrations, an assembly to say thank you, and then leading into the night were the valedictory event.

Teenagers’ art spreads the tap water message FOSTER Secondary College VCAL students have been honing their metalwork skills and turning water into art.

As part of the Tap Water Every Day campaign, the Year 11 VCAL class have developed art installations, driven by their plight to encourage their peers to make tap water their drink of choice.

The Tap Water Every Day campaign, which has been running since September 10, aims to increase tap water consumption in local teenage males and reduce the alarmingly high rates of sugar sweetened beverage consumption.

Led by the South Coast Primary and Community Partnership, the project has been working with secondary students from across South Gippsland and Bass Coast to develop a campaign that reflects the needs of local young people.

“It has been great to see the students taking up the charge within our community to encourage tap water to become the norm within our school,” the school’s Year 11 VCAL literacy teacher Wendy Vitols said.

“The students have been on a journey with this project, from the first week where they learnt about sugar sweetened beverages and the consequences of over-consumption through to the achievement we see in our school today.”

The striking installations take pride of place beside the water fountains within the grounds at Foster Secondary College.

The Tap Water Every Day campaign will run

CARING DAD HONOURED Family ‘devastated’ by break-in murder in USA HAPPY FAMILY: Former Meeniyan resident Brenton Estorffe with his children, Asher, 3, and Eliana, 1, and wife Angeleanna.

Matt Dunn THE family of former Meeniyan resident Brenton Estorffe has been “devastated” by his murder in the US, a day after his 29th birthday.

Call Capeview Your local manufacturer today Frames and trusses Aluminum windows and doors Shower screens Security doors Kitchens and cabinetry Robe inserts and doors Visit our show room at....

Capeview Mitre 10 today of support in the US. Mick and Denise lived there for about 18 months themselves in that particular suburb.

“Brenton moved to that suburb six months ago because they thought it was a safer place to live.”

Brenton was killed as wife Angeleanna and the couple’s two young children Asher and Eliana slept.

He heard the window at the backdoor being smashed and jumped out of bed to investigate.

Two intruders were in the home, with one shooting the protective father and husband.

A neighbour tried to resuscitate Brenton, but he could not be saved.

Brenton, who grew up playing football and

basketball locally, moved to the US in 2011 to follow his dream of playing professional basketball.

A lack of height counted against him and he shifted his focus to American football, where he played as a punter at college.

Vivienne remembered her nephew as a “cheeky” boy. She is hopeful that police in America will soon make an arrest, with a team of a dozen detectives working around the clock on the case.

Police believe that in addition to the two intruders, a third may have driven a getaway car.

Two separate ‘Go Fund Me’ pages have been set up help the family with the costs of Brenton’s funeral.

Locally, Brenton has family in Leongatha, Meeniyan and Inverloch.

Leongatha’s Vivienne Renden, Brenton’s maternal aunt, said the family was picking up the pieces in the wake of last week’s shocking crime at Fort Bend County, Houston.

Brenton’s mother, Denise, was in almost constant contact with her son and grandchildren making FaceTime calls up to three times a day.

“It was Brenton’s birthday on the Tuesday. It was about 12pm in Queensland and about 10pm in Texas when Denise and Brenton were Facetiming.

Brenton’s three year old, Asher, was still playing around, making jokes,” Vivienne said.

“Within a couple of hours, Brenton’s wife Angeleanna Facetimed Denise, saying ‘Brenton’s been shot.’”

It was a short call, with Angeleanna apologising that she had to go, as the police were there at the home.

“That was all Denise got to start with,” Vivienne said.

The full horror of the situation was soon made clear, with a subsequent call from Angeleanna confirming every mother’s worst nightmare – the sudden death of a child.

“Denise said to me, ‘This cannot be real.’ She hadn’t accepted it at that point. Her and Mick (Denise’s husband and Brenton’s father) are obviously devastated,” Vivienne said.

“They seemed OK yesterday, but they’ve been very supportive of one another. They’ve got a lot

Hospital to act on bullying, harassment allegations Brad Lester LATROBE Regional Hospital has promised to improve workplace relationships at its Korumburra and Wonthaggi sites, after staff raised allegations of bullying and sexual harassment.

Latrobe Regional Hospital’s (LRH) board last week revealed the outcome of a review into its mental health services, which found the allegations were made by staff against colleagues at the service’s Korumburra and Wonthaggi sites, based at hospitals in those towns.

Staff reported occupational violence and rated the workplace culture between very poor and poor.

LRH executive director mental health Cayte Hoppner said poor workplace behaviours were reported and “if these behaviours were substantiated, it would have constituted bullying and sexual harassment, so we were pretty disappointed to

read it.”

“We are aware of the issues now. Workplace officers have been put in place and have been trained to help deal with complaints,” Ms Hoppner said.

“Staff have been encouraged to come forward and report such behaviours.”

A review by a consultant found the workplace culture at the sites was a failure of senior leadership to properly lead and oversee these locations, “combined with unsatisfactory/inappropriate work practices/behaviours that have been allowed to develop as a consequence of this failure.”

Staff were also concerned about which managers to report to regarding accessing leave, leave coverage, on call and weekend rosters, and grievances/complaints.

An acute community intervention systems manager was also responsible for 30 staff, an arrangement the consultant found was excessive in order to provide the level of support staff required.

LRH’s mental health services provide care to adults and children, as well as alcohol and drug services, a psychiatrist, education and training, and perinatal and prevention services.

The review stated the issues at Korumburra and Wonthaggi warranted immediate attention and in July, a senior manager was appointed to these sites to provide support and oversee systems there.

“That has improved the culture and workplace communication down there,” Ms Hoppner said.

The consultant also found that at LRH at Traralgon, a higher proportion of junior staff often worked with the most acute patients due to roster shortfalls, with limited supervision from senior staff.

“This exacerbated staff concerns regarding their occupational health and safety,” the report found.

Ms Hoppner added the quality of care provided to patients had not been compromised by the staff issues.

Mr O’Brien also tabled petitions containing 837 signatures calling for better public transport options in Poowong.

Deciding vote for Zahra IT’S been a pared back operation at South Gippsland Shire Council meetings of late, with administrators Christian Zahra and Rick Brown calling the shots.

In the temporary absence of chair Julie Eisenbise, meetings are taking place even faster.

While there has been nary an argument between the two, The Star was forced to wonder what would happen if there were disagreement?

Who would have the deciding vote in a protracted battle?

A council spokesperson confirmed that Mr Zahra, as acting chair, would have the deciding vote on any motion.

Under council’s Local Law No. 3, “If there is an equality of votes the Chair has a second vote in accordance with Section 90 of the Act.�

Late release hobbles pony project A SUPPORTER of the proposed Stony Creek Equestrian Centre believes South Gippsland Shire Council’s “haphazard way of releasing reports� became too great a hurdle.

Speaking at a council community public presentation session, Meeniyan Progress Association’s Clive Hope said the release of the third and last feasibility study on the development had left people with “too little time to consider all its implications�. “The long awaited feasibility was only released for public scrutiny on the 18th of September, despite being dated 24th of July. This allowed insufficient time for community members to consider the contents of the study in depth,� he said. “The closing time for making a submission in response to the study was 5pm on Friday, September 20th. The matter was determined for council’s consideration on Wednesday, September 25th.�

Mr Hope said many people were not even aware of the study’s release until well after its release.

“The late release of the report has left a feeling in the local community that the decision was steamrolled through council without proper opportunity for community input,� he said. “I’d think the study should have been released for consideration by the public at an earlier date.

I would urge council to consider the process of release of such studies and reports in the future, bearing in mind it’s part of council’s community plan to involve the community.�

Administrator Christian Zahra said he and his fellow administrators had thought “long and hard in relation to this decision�. “I will take a couple of the points you made about the process on notice. It has been a long process and somewhat convoluted,� he said. “Nearly $90,000 of ratepayers’ money has been expended in pursuing this project, to the point where there was a decision by council at its last meeting made with due consideration of that effort and that expenditure. “In the end there was a requirement of an ongoing public subsidy in relation to the project.

And that was a consideration the administrators

had in their minds. We sincerely thank you and others for your considerable community minded efforts in advancing the project.�

Mr Zahra said talk of the equestrian centre would no longer be entertained by council.

RULED OUT: South Gippsland Shire Council administrator Christian Zahra said the equestrian centre proposed for Stony Creek would not be discussed further by council.

TOORA Caravan Park’s Rachel Brown has taken her fight against free camping at nearby Franklin River Reserve to South Gippsland Shire Council.

Addressing administrators Rick Brown and Christian Zahra last week, she asked: “How can I compete with free?� “The one thing I know is that Toora businesses would not survive without the tourism dollar from the caravan park,� she said. “In 1990 the reserve was closed to free camping, with ‘no camping’ signs put up. In 2012 South Gippsland Shire Council decided to open it up to free camping. “The issues, from my perspective, then began.

It dramatically affects our occupancy rates and we are about 10 per cent below the Victorian average for powered site occupancy.�

Mrs Brown said while there was a 48 hour limit on stays at the reserve, it was not being enforced by council.

She said campfires, degradation of the site, and overworked septic systems and toilets, were all par for the course. “The usage of the site is increasing every year,

mainly due to WikiCamps (an online site helping campers find free places to stay) and social media,� she said.

She said contamination of the Franklin River had also occurred, with campers emptying their waste into the water.

Mrs Brown displayed one social media post from a local who claimed the river was clogged with toilet paper and human waste in the wake of one busy camping period.

As an alternative to an end to free camping at the site, Mrs Brown said a small campground could be created with the closure of a gate. “The gate is locked over the winter. Keep it locked. People can still have a picnic, walk their dog, enjoy the river and enjoy a nice part of the park,� she said. “All I’m asking is for South Gippsland Shire Council to allow us to compete on a level playing field. We will no longer invest in the caravan park. “No one will invest anymore in that park while there’s a free site down the road. How can I expand my park with a South Gippsland Shire Councilfunded reserve supporting free camping?�

ROUND OF APPLAUSE: The Wonthaggi Citizens Band performed to an enthusiastic, near sellout crowd on Saturday.

FROM traditional marches and hymns to the pop numbers of ABBA, Wonthaggi Citizens Band wowed audiences with an assortment of songs and skills during their Annual Variety Concert on Saturday night.

MC of the annual event for 33 plus years, Chris Longstaff, said the event was just short of a full house at the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre.

“It was wonderful. The band played superbly,” he said.

“It has a great following; people are passionate about coming along.”

There was plenty of entertainment in store with the band master, Craig Marinus, surprising everyone by taking to the stage dressed as Freddie Mercury to conduct Bohemian Rhapsody.

Other highlights included the performance

of three of the numbers that saw the Wonthaggi Citizens Band take out the C Grade category at the Australian National Band Championships in Brisbane earlier this year.

Guest vocalists from Wonthaggi Theatrical Group, including Kerryn Lockhart also mesmerised audiences with costume and song.

A raffle raised $850 towards the purchase of new instruments.

Mr Longstaff said the band is always seeking new members, particularly juniors.

No experience is needed, and for just $30 a year members receive tuition, a loaned instrument and are supplied with a uniform.

“We are so grateful to our supporters, they just make it with their enthusiasm. The reaction from the audience is incredible every year,” Mr Longtsaff said.

To inquire about joining, phone Mr Longstaff on 5672 1259 or visit www.wonthaggiband.org.au

The sale was assisted by Melbourne agency Burgess Rawson, of which Leongatha born and bred Raoul Holderhead is a director.

The vendor and buyer were private clients from Melbourne.

Next week, the agency is auctioning the freehold of a superb commercial property in Leongatha.

The immaculate, as new property, 41 McCartin Street, is occupied by local boutique fund manager Gippsreal Ltd, and will go to auction on October 30.

The property is expected to give an investor a yield of approximately nine percent.

Mr Holderhead said the Woolworths building sale result represented a “great price” in a “good town”.

“I see Leongatha as a sleeping giant,” he said.

Reliable rainfall, a more functional South Gippsland Shire Council, and employment opportunities offered by the education sector and the Saputo dairy factory were drawcards for investment in Leongatha, he said.

“Water is the issue across the nation but not so much in South Gippsland. It’s God’s country,” Mr Holderhead said.

The Gippsreal property comes with a secure 12 year lease until 2027, plus 10 year lease options through to 2047, generating a gross income of $120,000 per annum.

The complex was built in 2009 and has been intensively fitted out.

But it's more than just a pharmacy, since it also incorporates the old general store and newsagency.

Although it's already up and running, the business's opening will be celebrated with an official event on Saturday, November 2, which will include a sausage sizzle (kicking off at 12pm) and a number of in-store specials.

“It's rare to have a general store in a pharmacy, but due to the distance from other stores, there is definitely a need for this sort of business in Fish Creek, providing not just general store goods but now also health products to the town and surrounding areas,” co-owner George Spyropolous said.

Working in partnership with Sam Shalabi,

“Operating a general store is quite different from a pharmacy but we've adapted to ensure the combination is synergistic and works quite well together.”

Part of that meant keeping a “country feel” for the business, rather than another clinicallooking pharmacy.

George said an important part of the pharmacy's business model was to provide medicines “at quite reduced prices of up to 50 per cent off, so that locals don't have to travel to Melbourne to save money”.

Gippsreal has been operating for 41 years and provides first mortgage investment opportunities to retail investors and finance solutions for borrowers.

Since its inception, Gippsreal has advanced and managed more than $350 million of mortgage loans.

Governance questioned

E D I T O R I A L

Together we achieve SAVE OUR SHORE

THERE are many joys a journalist experiences, from meeting fascinating people and being able to provide an empathetic ear, to working with the community on achieving a goal.

That has been the case this week, after the Inverloch community, namely the South Gippsland Conservation Society, joined with The Star in advocating for support from all levels of government to help save the town’s surf beach and nearby coastal infrastructure.

That effort no doubt contributed to the State Government announcing $1.15 million on Friday for a geotextile sandbag wall to help protect the Inverloch Surf Lifesaving Club and for the development of a plan for the future of the surf beach and surrounding coastline.

Over several months The Star has been raising the plight of the region’s coast with a focus on the eroding surf beach at Inverloch.

Conservation society members shared their expertise in Star reports to educate readers about the situation and to keep the issue in the forefront of the minds of politicians – the people who control the public purse.

It’s moments like these, when more than a million dollars in state funding is secured, that a journalist, and the sources they work with, celebrate.

Such a funding announcement is also an example of how important country newspapers are to the communities they care about.Without the publicity newspapers are able to give to local issues, matters of such local importance can slip beneath the radar of politicians.

This is also a time to thank Bass MLA Jordan Crugnale and the State Government for coming to the aid of the Inverloch community.

This is a community that is reliant on its beach, not just for the beauty the coast offers but also for its economy, especially as the start of the peak summer tourism season starts.

Together we do do better.

AT the presentation session of South Gippsland Shire Council last Wednesday, I was witness to the doubling down of the administrators’ decision to stop any further consideration being given to the exhibition and events (aka equestrian centre) venue at Stony Creek proposal.

We are entitled to expect more nimbleness from the people charged with running the shire – which is in fact a corporate entity. We are led to believe they have an abundance of management experience, but display nothing of the sort.

We have a situation where the draft report in hand is quite obviously deficient, partly because they (@Leisure Planners) could not take into account some pertinent factors. The administrators should not have been oblivious to that fact.

I am referring here to the Growth for Reduced Rates strategy embraced by the elected council they replaced.

That plan has an element that puts forward the concept of creating a population enclave around Stony Creek/Meeniyan based on expanding the equine fraternity already there. The new centre would be the prime ‘carrot’.

This concept was supported, wittingly, or un-wittingly, by administrator Rick Brown when he made his speech in support of the adoption of the rate strategy.

He advocated for population (assessments) growth as the way to go to confront the issues council faces. This decision sends incomprehensible mixed messages to the good people of South Gippsland Shire.

With the experience of the decision makers, how could they not notice the blindingly obvious omission in the sources of revenue covered in the report referred to above.

I am primarily referring to admission charges for entertainment events. It may be an oversight on the part of the proponents, or their plans may not include seating.

We cannot tell because South Gippsland Action Group is completely shut out of any discussions about the proposed centre, by an amendment to the motion to squash the proposal. We are also denied essential information by the proponents who have just lost out. Go figure!

Presented with an opportunity to do something positive for the youth of South Gippsland Shire, as they frequently claim is their intent and the administrators run a mile.

Not only that, the shire is short of nighttime entertainment and they pass-up a brilliant chance to do something about that.

The claimed ongoing costs to the shire are just rubbish!

John McCombe, Leongatha.

Road safety is paramount IT brings me great sadness to note that as of last Tuesday the number of lives lost on our Victorian roads this year is 219.

This is higher than the total number of lives lost in the whole of 2018.

As a community we must work together to not only stop the road toll from rising, but to bring it down to zero.

As summer approaches we are entering a busy

time for our roads and we all must play our part.

Whether you’re a pedestrian crossing a road or the driver of a vehicle – put your phone away. Be alert. Be safe.

Whether you’re a passenger or a driver – put your seatbelt on.

Follow the rules. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t do drugs and drive. Don’t speed. Don’t tailgate.

Let’s work together to make sure everyone is still here to celebrate on New Year’s Day. Danny O’Brien, Gippsland South MLA.

COUNCIL MESSAGES Administrator Rick Brown A FEW weeks ago I attended the launch of Pennicott’s Wilsons Promontory Cruises.

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys is a Tasmanian eco-tourism operator which was encouraged by Parks Victoria a few years ago to consider the practicality of operating short cruises from Tidal River.

Support from the Federal Government made possible the research necessary to determine if it was possible to design a boat which could depart from and return to Norman Beach safely and without damaging the beach.

A result is three specially-designed boats built in Western Australia with wheels attached to get the boats off and on the sand.

Wilsons Promontory is a glorious part of Australia. Skull rock is a wonder of nature and the seals leave a lasting impression.

This initiative is great news for the Shire of South Gippsland and adds to the suite of tourist offerings around the Prom, including Wildlife

Coast Cruises that depart from Port Welshpool.

Lots of people visit the Prom and various beaches during the summer in particular.

The challenge is for the shire to derive as much benefit as it can from this influx of visitors.

It would be good if visitors to the shire sampled more of our restaurants, stayed longer and visited other parts and attractions in the shire, in addition to the Prom and the beaches close by.

Hopefully these cruises will be a catalyst for even more people to visit the shire and do just that.

If they do there will inevitably be the flow-on effect of extra jobs in the service industries, and the financial multiplier that comes with that.

The future of this region relies on being able to maintain the primary industry sector while at the same time growing the tourism market. It will be a challenge, but one that I think we’re up to meeting.

Cr Brett Tessari AT last Wednesday’s council meeting, tenders for four major recreation projects, totalling over $2.5 million were awarded.

The projects include the redevelopment of the Inverloch netball courts, the construction of the Inverloch netball pavilion, and the redevelopment of the Wonthaggi Tennis Club courts and the Inverloch Tennis Club courts.

Work on all four projects will get underway before the end of November.

Another big decision from last Wednesday’s meeting was the resolution to commit $19 million to rebuild the Cowes Cultural and Community Centre. We will be consulting with the community on the design over the summer holiday period.

Funding for the project will be allocated in the draft 2020-21 and 2021-22 budgets.

The State Government was in Inverloch on Friday to announce $1.15 million to help combat the erosion affecting the Inverloch foreshore.

From this funding, $450,000 will used to in-

stall a wall of large, fabric (geotextile) sandbags to protect the Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club building from further erosion. The remaining $700,000 will be used for a pilot development of a Regional and Strategic Partnership (RaSP) over the wider Inverloch marine and coastal area.

The pilot RaSP will develop a Local Coastal Hazard Assessment and Community Resilience Plan to better inform future investment in the broader Inverloch Anderson Inlet area. It’s fantastic to see this state commitment, which will complement the federal commitment of up to $1.5 million.

In Bass Coast, we have 15 special committees, commonly known as Section 86 Committees of Management, which manage a number of our halls and reserves for the benefit of their local communities.

These facilities only operate due to dedicated people giving their time, which is why it is so important to give them our support.

Youth inspired by music CELEBRATED Australian artists Ruby Fields and rapper Baker Boy descended on Leongatha last Friday night with a killer all-ages music show.

Sale 18 year old Olivia Lay also took the stage with her guitar and mesmerising vocals during the sold-out event held at Leongatha’s Memorial Hall.

The visit was thanks to The Push, Victoria’s leading youth music organisation, and tripe j Unearthed’s bid to bring more music to regional hotspots.

With the help of FReeZA committees from across the state, Australia’s best acts – along with best underage regional acts - have come to regional Victoria in this special pilot.

“The Push All-Ages tour is one of the new initiatives we are launching this year with support from the Victorian Government to support the careers of young contemporary musicians and foster future generations of live music fans around the state,” Kate Duncan, CEO of The Push, said.

MUSIC-MAKERS: Helping to bring top performers to Leongatha on Friday evening were members of South Gippsland FReeZA and Propeller committees from South Gippsland and Wellington shires.

Legacy lives on after 70 years MORE than 100 people attended the 70 th anniversary of South Gippsland Legacy held in Leongatha Memorial Hall on Sunday, with some dressed in late 1940s fashion.

Group president Legatee Jane Ross welcomed guests, including Legatees and Legacy widows from all over South Gippsland and Phillip Island, the president and CEO of Melbourne Legacy, Hugh Roberton and Jo Moloney, and group liaison officer Bill Rogers.

Ms Ross gave a brief history of the group, speaking from a lectern crafted by Legatee Perry Neill of Korumburra made in honour of South Gippsland Legacy’s 50th anniversary.

Hewn from wood from district farms of World War One soldiers, the lectern features scales from the lone pine tree in Korumburra’s Coleman Park, planted by Legatees in 1981.

Legacy began after World War One, but the South Gippsland group didn’t form until the aftermath of World War Two. Following a meeting in one of Korumburra’s pubs in 1949, the group was founded, with Legatee Bert Middleton being its inaugural president.

The first money received was a donation of 25 pounds from the late Hartley Wells of Korumburra.

RSL branches and local racing and golf clubs

also lent support.

The Korumburra and Leongatha butter factories (later Murray Goulburn) helped, as did an endowment scheme run by the staff of the Stirling Clothing Factory in Leongatha.

Legacy assisted war widows and their children and that work continues today, with the organisation now having responsibility for Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor veterans and their families.

Peter Nicholls, son of Grace Schellenbach of the Inverloch Widows Club, sang during the anniversary celebration, as did members of Beggs-

2Differ, who have been longstanding supporters of Legacy.

An entertainment highlight was the presentation by Legatees Brian Arnold, Russell Spencer, Peter Fraser, Tony Kamphuis and Tom Loughridge of two songs from the musical South Pacific.

They were dressed as though they were on a South Sea island holiday and had the audience in stitches.

All five are past South Gippsland Legacy presidents, prompting Ms Ross to remark, “Don’t ever expect me to cavort on stage in a grass skirt.”

MOMENTOUS OCCASION: (L-R) South Gippsland Legacy Group liaison officer Bill Rogers, president Jane Ross and Melbourne Legacy president Hugh Roberton were thrilled with the celebrations.

WE welcome the much needed redevelopment of Bair Street. The first stage has started and we would like to thank shoppers for still making their way into the town and shopping locally.

We have expected a lot of negativity with the changes but surprisingly businesses and shoppers are excited about the changes to our old and tired Bair Street.

It is important to note that the changes will mean a gain of two parking spaces, not the loss of parking which many were concerned about.

This is despite the addition of some great landscaping and extra crossing zones.

Whether it is because of the anticipation of a

new street or just a coincidence, there has been a lot of movements within Bair Street and some new businesses.

The relocation and expansion of Leongatha Health Nutrition and Whole Foods has occurred, Sweet Life Café’s move and expansion has been well received, while Alex Scott and Staff and Carpet Court have also relocated along Bair Street.

A new barber and a massage shop have also just set up in Bair Street, so there are a lot less empty spaces than there were.

South Gippsland Dental has expanded its business while in McCartin Street, Party Planet has moved and expanded.

It is great to see so many positive changes happening in Leongatha.

The massage master LINDA, the newest member of the team at Lan Massage in Leongatha, does not speak much English.

The Chinese-born masseuse communicates with smiles and nods.

But language barriers mean nothing when she goes to work.

This master of the ancient art of Chinese massage lets her hands do the talking. Those hands – not to mention elbows – know how to speak to muscles and tendons, loosening parts of the body that have been sore for far too long.

Ten minutes with Linda can undo months of built up tension.

The Star knows, since this journalist was treated to a shoulder massage that was beyond parallel.

Linda's business partner Wenjing said muscle aches, frozen shoulders and sore backs were the main reasons people came to Lan Massage.

“We do Chinese massage not only according to muscle relaxation, but we also work on the principles of acupuncture, finding those pressure points on the body that help alleviate people's problems,” she said.

“Sometimes when the muscle pulls and the nerves get sore. When you're relaxed, the muscles and nerves get relief as well.”

Wenjing said feedback from customers had been great, with many attesting to greater mobility.

Everyone is able to save a life was the message delivered in Leongatha and Inverloch last week.

Community ambulance officer Steve Burns gave a resuscitation day at the Leongatha RSL for Restart a Heart Day last Wednesday, and an event was held at Inverloch to highlight that three public defibrillators are now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

They are on the outside of the Inverloch Community Hub (Reilly Street entrance), Warrawee Seniors Club and the men’s shed at the Inverloch Recreation Reserve.

A community event was held at the hub to raise awareness of the defibrillators and how easy they are to use.

Even if a cardiac arrest is occurring in a home, people can remove the defibrillator from the public venues and take the machine to the patient to use.

The machine will even give instructions in how to use it.

“All you have to do is follow the steps,” Inverloch’s Heart Safe community coordinator Amy Skelton said.

Paramedics gave demonstrations of how responders should call 000, apply CPR and use the defibrillator to help someone experiencing a cardiac arrest.

If the patient has a pulse, the defibrillator will not work.

In March this year, the Heart Foundation and Ambulance Victoria launched Inverloch’s Heart Safe Community program to give locals the skills and confidence to act fast if they witnessed a cardiac arrest.

Ms Skelton said the program had also sought to get more automated external defibrillators (AEDs) registered and accessible 24/7.

“As summer approaches, this busy tourist town is well-equipped to help in an emergency when a cardiac arrest strikes,” she said.

“Too often, defibrillators are locked away out of business hours.”

Heart Foundation’s Roni Beauchamp said

fibrillator, the chances of survival are very low,” she said.

Statistics have shown Gippsland has the state’s highest incidence for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

In 2017-18, Victorians in cardiac arrest who received bystander CPR tripled their chance of being discharged alive from hospital compared to those who did not receive bystander help.

Inverloch was the second community to sign up to the Heart Safe Community program after a successful pilot in the Goulburn Valley town of Tatura.

“Inverloch was chosen because it was a known fire hazard town, it does not have an ambulance depot, the nearest hospital is a quarter of an hour away and the demographic is that we have lots of little kids and lots of retirees,” Inverloch Rotary Club’s Ian Turnbull said.

The club paid for the defibrillator at the hub and it was available to help resuscitate a lady at the jazz festival this year.

There are 19 registered defibrillators in Inverloch.

Mr Burns was also keen to highlight the importance of people having an Emergency Medical Information book – an essential resource for both patients and first responders.

MASSAGE MASTER: Linda (standing) with Wenjing at Lan Massage. Linda is a master of her art. lift their arm, where they haven't been able to before,” she said.

“They're able to sleep well too, which is really good.”

Wenjing said Linda had been regularly working in Melbourne, but started her career in China, steeped in the traditions of the art of massage.

Aside from backs and shoulders, Linda is also experienced at foot massage.

Ask anyone who knows about Chinese massage and they'll tell you people's whole bodies can be treated through the foot.

With pressure points to every conceivable body part, it's a great way to diagnose and treat complaints that go beyond mere muscle aches and pains.

Ask Linda about the centuries old knowledge of Chinese massage and she may merely smile and nod.

Nothing plane about gliding Grace Griffith WHILE you might think catching a passenger flight is a thrill, it doesn’t compare to gliding.

The ultimate adventure sport requires the pilot to harness the power of nature to stay airborne whether flying long distances or soaring at high altitudes.

“It vastly contrasts to being on an airplane - it couldn’t be any more different,” local glider, Max Speedy said.

“For starters, it’s quiet, and the view from a glider is brilliant. They have cockpits so that you can see forever.”

Unlike passenger aircraft, gliders are engineless and are powered only by gravity and air currents, allowing them to move silently through the sky.

Additionally, gliders travel at relatively low speeds, with Mr Speedy saying 100km/h was his typical gliding speed.

“We just cruise, it’s more fun that way,” he said.

“It’s graceful and here where we have lots of eagles, you can go flying with them. The eagle will probably outsoar you, but it’s great fun trying to catch up.”

According to the gliding enthusiast, the bush surrounding Leongatha airfield is home to several eagles.

When spotted soaring, they are a good indication of ideal conditions and thermal lift, meaning prolonged flight time for gliders.

“They are the first sign it’s time to get out and go flying,” Mr Speedy said.

For Mr Speedy, it was a sport he was introduced to as a teenager and one that formed his career flying airplanes with the Fleet Air Arm in the Royal Navy.

Following a long and successful career, he pursued gliding into retirement and is now one of five instructors with South Gippsland Gliding Club.

In his nine years instructing with the local club, Mr Speedy estimated he’d made 800 trips into the air.

His enthusiasm for the sport was evident when talking to The Star.

“There are two ways to get into the air with a glider,” he explained.

“The traditional way is being towed up by another airplane on a 55 metre rope referred to as aerotow. We have two or three at the airfield here.

“They can take you to where the thermals

SOARING PASSION: Max Speedy, long time aircaft and glider pilot, alongside one of the South Gippsland Glider Club’s single passenger gliders. are on the day: that’s the greatest advantage of aerotow.”

The other way to launch a glider into the sky is via a winch.

“It’s very much like a kite. The winch will wind the rope in as quick as it can and off you go,” he said.

This method is great for short flights and training.

And for eager flyers, Mr Speedy can even demonstrate some of his acrobatic skills.

“We can do loops and rolls for those who are really game,” he said.

“When you are doing a loop, there is a moment when you are upside down and there is nothing

Breathtaking and expansive views from above are just one of the many perks of gliding according to enthusiast Max Speedy.

between you and the ground but Perspex – it’s surreal.”

For those wanting to experience the exhilarating sensation of gliding and get behind the joystick, it’s a lot easier than anticipated.

Anyone can have a flight, no licence necessary, guided by one of the instructors at South

Gippsland Gliding Club.

“If you like it and decide you want to be taught, you can then become a member of the gliding federation, join the club and work towards flying solo,” Mr Speedy said.

“But nearly everyone can do it. Some take to it like ducks on water. It’s awe-inspiring.”

SHOUT ABOUT YARRAM - 19

Tuesday, October 22, 2019 | yarramstandard.com.au

GENEROUS DONATION: Yarram St Vincent de Paul members Paul McAninly and Mary Smith visited Yarram Secondary College recently to present students Michael Mattern and Michael Brooks with certificates of appreciation.

The presentation recognised the students’ generous donation of groceries to the charity organisation.

Another student, Nic Woods, who is currently overseas, was also thanked for his contribution to the charity drive.

Larks disrespect fallen soldiers THE people who placed a traffic cone on the head of the soldier at the Yarram cenotaph have offended Yarram RSL Rick Rogers.

This is not the first time the incident has occurred.

“To the person or persons who decided to put this cone up there, the first time it was done, we could laugh it off as a bit of a lark, but the second time we consider it very disrespectful to those men and women who gave their lives yesterday for us today,” Mr Rogers said.

“I can assure those responsible that we have done some investigation and if it happens again they will have the local police knocking on their door.”

Eating right at St Mary’s BANANAS, avocados and citrus fruits are safe fruits to eat before or during sporting activities without causing stomach cramps or pains.

They are also packed with important vitamins important for children’s development and overall health.

This was the message Carolyn Teisha delivered to St Mary’s Primary School students in Yarram last week as part of the MarketFresh Schools Program.

Students learnt about a range of different fruits and vegetables and their nutritional values, how

to make scrumptious snacks using healthy foods and the importance of eating apples with the skin on, as this is where most of the important vitamins are packed.

It was the first year the school hosted the program – which educates more than 10,000 students across the state - to major success.

Mrs Teisha encouraged parents to incorporate fruit and vegetable into their child’s diets wherever possible.

Fruit popsicles, vegetarian pizza, smoothies, berry muffins and fruit juice were a few examples of demonstrating how feating healthily can be absolutely delicious and exciting.

Yarram and district, she’s learnt about While Mrs Missen was not afraid to get her hands dirty on the farm, she was well known for and documented.

The history enthusiast was involved in the inception of the Port Albert Maritime Museum in 1973 and was the secretary of the Yarram and District Historical Society for 42 years.

The mother of three and grandmother of six has been in the area all of her life, growing up in Won Wron before shifting to Greenmount when she married Morrie Missen.

Their Greenmount home belonged to Morrie’s grandfather and was lined with newspaper and hessian as insulation at the time of moving in.

The historian still lives in the old charm house to this day.

“When we got married there was no power,” she said.

“There wasn’t power until 1953. We used to light the fire to dry our children’s nappies, and even in summer we had to have the stove on to heat the old flat iron to iron our clothes.”

Mrs Missen said she and her husband worked

her immaculate presentation when making a visit to town.

“Friday in Yarram was market day and we’d get dressed up. Everyone wore hats and gloves if they had them,” she said.

It’s a tradition Mrs Missen maintains to this day.

“If you get dressed up in Yarram these days, people ask you whose funeral you are going to,” she chuckled.

“But I’m not dropping my standard.”

Mrs Missen has even preserved more than 60 of her own and her mother’s hats from throughout the decades.

“My mother and I loved hats,” she said.

“Mum had gloves for every occasion in every colour and length.

“I’ve saved all mum’s hats.”

The collection of hats is on display at the Yarram and District Historical Society now until Melbourne Cup weekend.

Sweethearts wed at Port Albert THOMAS Baggaley married his sweetheart Tullee Davidson in the little church in Port Albert recently.

The groom is the son of Allen and Kim Baggaley, and the bride is the daughter of Zig Abolitis and Maxine Davidson.

Tom and Tullee met in Humpty Doo, Northern Territory.

Tullee had moved there from the Gold Coast and Tom, who was a LOCAL ICON: Margery Missen has played a fundamental role in unearthing and preservmember of the Australian Defence ing the history of Yarram and district.

Tullee looked radiant, wearing her mother’s wedding gown.

She arrived at the church in a magnificent old Plymouth sedan driven by Garry Bradley from Good Times Motoring Club of Yarram.

The 40 wedding guests dined and danced at Wild Fish Restaurant.

After honeymooning in Cairns, Tom and Tullee returned to their home in Tyers near Traralgon where Tullee works in administration and Tom is completing his mature age apprenticeship as a mechanical technician.

BIG BAKE: Yarram Red Cross volunteers (L-R) Maggie Money, Jenny Hodgson, secretary Fay Brown, Kerryn Harland and Judith Ledder had a busy morning last Thursday, hosting their annual street stall in the arcade next to the Yarram Standard.

The stall raised a total of $445 for the annual Big Cake Bake fundraiser, with proceeds from this event going towards healthy breakfasts to school-aged children who might otherwise go hungry.

Funds also provide kitchenware to families in the local region who have lost items in a disaster, contribute to recruits and training emergency service volunteers to help in evacuation centres and check on people recovering from disasters.

STORY INSPIRES: Yarram Library had a special visitor last Thursday.

Sale children’s author Rebecca McGregor travelled down the South Gippsland Highway to bring her latest book, No More Kisses, to the children of Yarram.

The trip, which was initiated by science teachers Shellie Cashmore and Ryan Martini two years ago, will be hosted by the school every second year.

Mrs Cashmore said students in younger year levels had already expressed their excitement for future trips.

She and students thanked the community for helping fundraise for the trip during a trivia night in July. The event raised $1500.

Fire ban to start FIRE restrictions will come into force in Wellington Shire from 1am next Monday, October 28.

CFA’s Allan Rankin said restrictions were being enforced in Wellington to minimise the risk of grass and bushfires being started by private burn-offs and escaped campfires in the current dry conditions.

“People need to be aware that if using fire to clean up around their properties, they need to register these on 1800 668 511,” he said.

“So far this year, out of control burn-offs and unregistered burn-offs have already caused unnecessary call-outs to for brigades.

The 16 day trip, which saw students spend time in Boston, New York, Washington and Orlando, was focused around STEM; science, technology, engineering and maths.

For most of the 14 participating students, it was their first time to the United States, and for some it was their first time to an international destination.

Some of the highlights included experiencing Disneyworld, Times Square and the poignant 9/11 Memorial site, as well as receiving astronaut training at NASA Kennedy Space Centre.

Students had the opportunity to experience a simulated space flight, a space walk on Mars and completed missions using virtual reality.

One of the travellers, Gabrielle Jones, said the overseas experience had been “life changing”.

“It was an opportunity to do things myself and gave me a level of independence,” she said.

Fellow Year 11 student Ebonee Bragg said the trip presented experiences she wouldn’t have otherwise had an opportunity to partake in.

Help save lives. It does’t cost a thing, and only takes an hour.

Champion dairy cow search to start soon THE Yarram Agricultural Show’s annual On-Farm Dairy Cow Challenge will see hundreds of cows judged over three days.

Running from November 4–6, sponsor Alan Blum from Yarram Herd Services (YHS) expects it to be another successful event.

“The judge will be looking for the ideal commercial dairy cow that demonstrates ‘they can produce’ with true genetic merit. They will be judged on their longevity, functionality and their lactating and calving ability,” he said.

The event is not limited to being breed specific, with many anticipated such as Holstein, Jerseys, Ayrshires and Aussie Reds.

Cows will be judged within four age classes with a first, second and third prize awarded.

The highest generic merit cow in each class will also be recognised.

“It’s quite a big event. Last year there must have been over 30 farms involved,” Mr Blum said.

“We go from Yarram to Yanakie to Gormandale.”

Judging will take into consideration the visual quality and also an analysis of raw database data to determine prize winners.

The show award ceremony will take place at the Yarram Agricultural Show on Sunday, November 24.

The event is organised by Mr Blum, dairy farmer Aaron Thomas and the Yarram Show committee, and has been running for approximately 26 years.

Time remains for those thinking it may be too late for entry.

WORD ON THE STREET Today we talk to Yarram Foodworks owner, Anish Singla.

When and how did you come to Yarram?

I came to Yarram seven years before.

I did my graduation in India and I was looking for opportunities post graduation.

I saw an opportunity here in Australia. A lot of my friends and family were coming here.

I did try and I got a visa and came here in 2003.

I studied my masters in accounting in one of the best universities in Melbourne and lived there for two to three years.

I moved back to India for one year, I met my wife, we got married and we had our daughter.

When my daughter was six months old we moved back to Hampton Park in Melbourne.

I bought a small bottle shop and started running that.

My background is from a country town and I always wanted to be in a country town.

I was looking at a couple of businesses here and there, and I saw Yarram Foodworks was on the market.

I thought it wasn’t that far from where we lived in Melbourne at the time, Cranbourne, so even if I bought the business I could come to and from.

Wine, dining & accommodation

Our restaurant offers the finest of local produce and provides a dining experience unique to this part of Gippsland.

Lunch on the deck or lawns admiring the view whilst enjoying our delightful seasonal food matches with our award winning wines.

I did that when I bought the business for one year.

Two days I’d go to Melbourne then I’d come here.

But when I bought the Foodworks in Toora I moved here.

I want to raise my kids in Yarram. It’s a good place, nice humble people, and it feels secure to be living here, not like Melbourne.

How is it living in Yarram in comparison to India?

We wanted to raise our daughter in a better en-

vironment and better place.

She’s happier now.

Even with my wife – she was bought up in a very conservative environment in India. Over here she is more open minded and she does more things.

Like, she never drove in India.

Over here, she’s got her driver’s licence and she does more things for herself.

In India we spoon feed; over here it’s better for us.

I feel much more secure here in a country town.

My kids can roam here on the streets more easily too and you can’t do that in Melbourne either.

As the centre of the town and having a good business in the town, we know everything that’s happened in the town.

We know everything by the evening at the checkout, and that’s a good thing, so we feel very safe in the town.

What else do you like about living here?

People are very humble here.

We’ve had ups and downs in the business and they’ve shown their strength and backed us.

We do a lot for the community too.

A lot of the clubs and football clubs, we stand with them, even with the Easter parade and Tarra Festival.

We all live like a family here.

The residents are equally happy with the selection of food on offer. Host an afternoon tea at the lodge and there’s a veritable stampede to get to the fare.

So when the auxiliary made its latest funding pledge - $2250 for the purchase of a state of the art Robot Coupe Blixer – no one was too surprised.

Chef Leigh Hall said the machine would allow him and his staff to puree food for those who needed it.

“People are staying at Woorayl longer and there’s a requirement for texture modified food. To get smooth purees you need a machine with sharp blades and a scraper to get it all down,” he said.

Raising an average $20,000 per annum, the auxiliary stages many fundraising events throughout the year.

The biggest is Woorayl’s annual fete, which will take place this year on Saturday, November 30.

Faye said most committee members were keen to help because of a family connection to Woorayl.

“I think most of us are just passionate about aged care and seeing people well looked after – which Woorayl’s residents are,” she said.

“I can tell you that the number at our meetings have doubled, because we have a fantastic chef. As they come in the door, they’re not saying, ‘What are we talking about to today?’ They’re saying, ‘What have we got for afternoon tea?”

This work will join previous winners of the prestigious award and become part of Bass Coast Shire Council’s art collection.

Judges David O’Halloran, Tobias Hengeveld and Juan Ford announced the winner at the opening of Your Art Collection exhibition, held at the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre recently.

The exhibition includes works from four local artists: Diana Edwards, Mary Hennekam, Adrian Johnson and Julie Lundgren-Coulter.

Each of these artists won a community art exhibition award during the year, progressing them to this final exhibition and the chance to take out the overall YAC Award.

“This year the YAC awards have attracted more artists to each local art show than we have seen before, with artwork of exceptional quality,” Bass Coast Shire mayor Cr Brett Tessari said.

“This kind of event wouldn’t be possible without the organisers of the community art shows and their dedication to the arts in Bass Coast.

Now’s the time to maintain dams SOUTHERN Rural Water (SRW) said recent rainfall has tested the integrity of some farm dams, serving as a timely reminder for landowners to carry out routine maintenance.

SRW’s Hugh Christie said that a dam is a valuable asset on any farm, providing essential stock or irrigation water supplies and should be inspected throughout the year as part of preventative maintenance.

“Dam failure not only leads to expensive repair bills; it also means lost production while the dam is repaired,” he said.

“The owner is also legally liable for any damage a failed dam causes to people, property or the environment.”

SRW provides some basic good practice guidelines to help achieve a long operating life from your dam: Spillway. The spillway must be designed to cope with large storms and rainfall runoff. The spillway must never be reduced in size without the approval of your rural water authority.

Compensation pipe and valve. The valve must be operated regularly to avoid seizure due to rust and other build up. Operating regularly will also reduce the amount of silt and other debris that can build up in the compensation pipe. Safe and simple access to the valve must be maintained at all times.

Dam wall. The downstream wall should be kept clear of trees, shrubs and weeds. The slope should have an even cover of deep-rooted grass, regularly maintained to allow visual assessment of the wall.

Gearing you up for success.

Dam crest. The crest may be used to allow stock or vehicles to cross the dam wall. However, it should be kept level to avoid potholes and uneven areas forming.

The crest should also be fenced to exclude stock from both the upstream and downstream walls. Allowing stock access to the walls will cause damaging erosion.

General surveillance. You should regularly look for leaks, wet spots, slumping or any signs that the dam may be at risk. Regular inspections and prompt maintenance should ensure you get the maximum life span from your dam. Any movement should immediately be reported to your local rural water authority (eg Southern Rural Water) and your farm dam engineer.

“This advice is general. We encourage all dam owners to seek expert advice about the best way to keep their dam safe and operating properly,” Mr Christie said.

“A qualified and experienced farm dam consulting engineer is a great place to start.”

Children hooked at fishing clinic BUDDING anglers braved windy conditions to learn how to catch a fish at Inverloch on Sunday – and catch them they did.

As part of National Gone Fishing Day, a free fishing clinic was hosted by the Anderson Inlet Angling Club in conjunction with the Victorian Fisheries Authority, and mullet were among the fish landed.

The angling club’s June Laycock joined with Craig Ingram of the Victorian Fisheries Authority and Adam Ring from the Talking Fishing show to instruct 83 anglers how to catch bass yabbies as bait, as well as where to find fish and bait, what bait to use, species to target, and how to rig up, cast and fish safely.

All fishing gear and bait was provided, with expert advice and guidance also from Fishcare Victoria volunteers.

National Gone Fishing Day is the only day in

the year people can go fishing without a licence, so everyone throughout Victoria can try fishing for free.

The Come ‘n’ Try Beach Fishing clinic was funded by the second phase of the State Government’s Target One Million plan.

“Come ‘n’ Try Beach Fishing is a fantastic way to get youngsters outdoors, learning a new skill and perhaps catching a new hobby while they’re at it,” Bass MLA Jordan Crugnale said.

‘The best part about fishing is not the catch itself – that is a bonus. It’s being outside, in the natural environment, sitting still, taking it all in and for kids it’s quality time with their friends and family.”

HOW TO CATCH ’EM: June Laycock of Anderson Inlet Angling Club guides Ryan Perry of Leongatha through the basics of fishing during Sunday’s clinic at Inverloch.

Gippy Girls Can standup paddleboarding is coming to Inverloch

READY TO RACE: Competitors braced themselves at the start of the marathon paddleboard events during the Australian titles at Phillip Island over the weekend.

PI plays perfect host The racing continued on Sunday as well.

(Boomerang Beach, NSW) and Ke’ale Dorries

IT’S official, with funding received by the South Gippsland Shire, through VicHealth, the Coasting - Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) program will move from Leongatha Splash indoor pool to Anderson Inlet.

Around 40women tried free sessions during the winter months as part of the VicHealth This Girl Can Week campaign funding.

Sessions ran for 30 minutes in the indoor pool and stepped participants through the basics of SUP. First time participant Linda Lynch was thrilled with the chance to try something different.

“It was the perfect setting to try a new sport.

Allison, the instructor was patient and so supportive. I’ve built up some great skills and it’s exciting to take it to the great outdoors, now that the weather is starting to get warmer,” she said.

GippSport, through their Gippy Girls Can campaign, have partnered with South Gippsland Shire, Surfing Victoria, Salty Seas Surf School and SUP Inverloch to provide subsidised sessions at Anderson Inlet.

Inverloch was selected for ease of beach access, safety and to ensure cost to participants is kept to a minimum.

GippSport Program Coordinator Gene Parini urges any women over 18 years of age to take up this opportunity.

“These sessions are for anyone and everyone.

You do not have to have had experience or have participated in previous sessions. This is a great

chance for newbies and those that did the pool sessions and now want some guided training to experience it at the beach. The aim is to build confidence so that women can go out and SUP whenever they want in the future,” she said.

The sessions will be offered at the subsidised cost of $10 or free for those who can provide their own board.

Participants are asked to bring a towel, sunscreen, drink bottle and wear comfortable active wear.

Rashie, SUP board and wetsuits (if required) will be supplied.

The sessions will commence on Wednesday, October 30 from 9.30am to 11.30am and will run every Wednesday until December 18 and on Saturday November 2 and December 7, 10am to 11am.

There are limited places so registrations, through www.gippygirlscan.org.au , are essential.

Coasting (SUP) has been extremely popular in recent years and is a relaxing, low impact and easy to learn activity that is a fun way to enjoy the outdoors and water.

Alarmingly, statistics indicate women are generally less active than men, particularly when it comes to participating in organised sport and recreation.

Programs like these are designed to try and remove barriers and get more Victorian women active.

“I’m stoked,” said Judson.

“It’s cool to see such a good turn out and conditions for the Australian Titles.

“There were some epic bumps out in the middle of the race and the whole thing couldn’t have gone better for me. Coming up against world Champion Michael Booth made the win all the more sweet.

“It’s so raw down in Victoria. It’s an unreal place and there is incredible wildlife everywhere.”

Dorries was the fastest of the females finishing in a time of 1hr, 28mins, 28sec.

“I’ve never won an Australian title before so I’m super happy to get one, especially in amazing conditions like this.

“I’ve never done a downwind race with wind that strong before.

“We’ve had a chance to check out the whole of Phillip Island over the last few days. I love it, there is so much to do and everything is so green.”

Other division champions include Jean Ringrose (over-40 Women, Hampton, Victoria), Troy Pease (over-40 Men), Jason Kennet (over-50 Men), Abbie Walkerdine (junior girls), Sam Mcculloch (junior boys) and Dany LeClerc (Community Paddle, VIC).

“It’s nice to be in some bigger more powerful waves for the Aus Titles.”

Cole also capped off his day with a win in the open men’s division.

Victorian Surfer Chris Clarke (Pt Leo, VIC) was also impressive in the over-40s men races and his 10-foot SUP longboard heat.

“I’m so stoked we are in some bigger waves, and to have the Aus titles here on Phillip Island,” he said.

Overall, the titles have been a success, with competitors and spectators enjoying the setting and competition.

Ty Judson of NSW was a standout winner of the marathon open divisions, recording an impressive time and enjoying every bit of it.

SUSIE Davis achieved something some can only dream about recently - completing her first every marathon in just over four hours.

“My daughter Perri was the inspiration for me to do this,” she said.

“She really wanted to do it and so I said I would as well.”

The pair started training at the start of the year.

Unfortunately just weeks out from the marathon, Perri developed a stress fracture in her foot and was unable to take her place at the start line.

Perri’s brother Jacob decided that he would run alongside his mum, and with just a few long runs under his belt, he also completed the 42km course in four hours and three minutes.

Susie’s sister Jo and Jacob’s girlfriend Steph ON THE MOVE: Former Yarram and Sale Dwyer ran in the 10km event and then provided netballer Lara Dunkley is on the move to the sideline support for the marathon runners.

Gippy’s best in AFL waiting game Daniel Renfrey JUST last week, Sam Flanders took out the Gippsland Power Best and Fairest award.

A week before that, he was completing the AFL draft combine with the rest of the top prospects from around the nation.

While the young gun from Fish Creek had been preoccupied and not thought much about the Best and Fairest, he was still surprised to win it.

“I went into the night not expecting to win that award, so it was a surprise really,” Sam said.

“It’s such a privilege and honour to have my name up there with some of the greats who have come through the power.

“My family, teammates, peers and coaches have all been involved in it so it’s pretty special.”

A dominant performer for whoever he played for throughout the year, whether it be the Gippsland Power or Vic Country, Sam is being touted as a top five draft prospect.

While the Power didn’t achieve their goal of making a grand final this year, the team saw great development.

This included Sam, who according to coach Rhett McLennan has made huge strides, the award a credit to his work ethic and persona.

“He’s an electrifying talent who has matured brilliantly this year,” Rhett said.

“He is a boy who’s got time for everyone.”

Sam’s skills both on and off the field were well and truly put to test during the draft combine.

He spent the first two days of the combine talking to teams and media, while the last two were spent on the field.

“It was mentally and physically challenging.

The first two days talking to teams and media can be tiring mentally, then you have to back it up the last two days with the testings and the 2km time trial,” Sam said.

“When it finishes, you’re sort of relieved because you’ve done all you can and there’s not much else you can really do.”

The midfielder/forward did well, finishing in the top performers in the vertical jump, running vertical jump, agility and ‘yo-yo’ tests.

He now waits until draft night, during which he will realise his dream and make an AFL list.

With pundits recently predicting Sam to go as high as pick four to the Crows, there will be many teams interested.

“It’s hard to say who’s fully interested in me at this stage. I’ve heard from some clubs but it’s just a waiting game,” he said.

“The next few weeks will be like a pre-preseason, to make sure I’m as fit as I can be heading into the draft.”

The draft takes place on November 27, with Sam set to be the newest name out of South Gippsland to enter the AFL.

Sam (centre) performed well at the recent AFL draft combine, putting his best foot forward in the lead up to selections at the end of November.

GIPPSLAND’S BEST: Promising midfielder/forward Sam Flanders took out the Gippsland Power’s Best and Fairest award.

Stony Creek racing preps for new season

A new track manager, Michael ‘Mick’ Templeton, has been appointed to the club, which will provide a boost leading into the first race.

Club CEO Sarah Wolf looks forward to what Michael can provide.

“He’s been at Traralgon and Moe, and he also trains,” she said.

“He’s been involved in racing all his life, so he’s got a lot of experience.”

The club has planned a full track renovation for next week, which they expect to have completed in two weeks’ time.

“It is a little daunting to have a track renovation so close to trial races, which will be early December,” Sarah said.

“It’s optimal timing for it though so we should have it in great condition.”

The club held its AGM last week and while the committee has dropped to 12 members, key figures have retained their roles.

Michael Darmanin remains president, while wife Tania will also remain at the club and part of the committee.

Graeme Ward has retained his treasurer hat after continued success.

Paul O’Sullivan has stepped up as vice president, and Sarah Wolf remains CEO. Within the review of last season through

the AGM, the club’s economic situation was discussed.

“Financially the club is in a great position and we’re looking to do more projects throughout the year,” Sarah said.

“There’s a cocktail night on November 22, and we’ll also be looking at increasing memberships as well, increasing value for money.”

Always looking at offering something new, Sarah said she is thrilled there will be lots more fun and exciting events on offer this season.

The big Kids Day Out race meeting on December 28 promises loads of fun for the whole family and the January 7, 2020 meeting will take on a whole new look, moving from a Ladies Day to a Stony Pony Fun Day that will feature a community marquee and the Ladbrokes Stony Pony Dash that has been moved from the March 8 Cup Day meeting.

Sarah said this promises to be a lot of fun and well contested by sporting groups.

Up for grabs is a fabulous prize the winning team can donate back to their club for fundraising.

As for Cup Day, Sarah can confirm milliner extraordinaire Peter Jago will return for the Cup along with Hilda Erica Boutique and Judy Stone, owner of Leongatha’s Influence on Dusk boutique, again sponsoring the Fashions on the Field. They will offer $1000 for the best dressed lady of the Cup. With the club looking strong financially and having a track renovation in place, racing is sure to stay at a high level at Stony Creek this coming season.

Cyclists mark 60 years for club THE Leongatha Cycling Club celebrated its 60th anniversary with a dinner and catch-up at the Dakers Centre in Leongatha on Saturday night.

More than 100 members and guests sat down to a two-course meal and then listened as club coach Tony Smith and carnival promoter and life member Terry Watchorn outlined some of the achievements the club has made over the years.

Of note was how the Leongatha velodrome became a great asset for the town, firstly in training up future champions and then as a venue for the once ‘spectacular’ cycling carnival which thrived over the years with Australian and overseas champions coming to compete.

Three foundation members were present, Jim Geary, Allan Williams and Norm Geary, along with a few life members as well.

As well as listening to speeches, dinner guests also completed a quiz to try to identify a famous cyclist pictured on each table.

A display of some of the jerseys of the past was also admired.

Old cuttings from newspapers, scrapbooks and programs from the former famous carnivals were also for viewing along with archive photographs.

Some of the cycling families present on the night included the Warrens, Loves, Denches, Sauvarins, McFarlanes, Waddells, Watchorns, Gearys, Smiths, Ryans and Lees.

Marty Box provided the music for the night, Brent Sinclair the catering and all there enjoyed the catch-up and stories of the past.

Gippsland B&F waits on draft PAGE 47

Luke wins gold in NZ A GROUP of 13 swimmers from the South Gippsland Bass Swim Club returned from New Zealand last week, after competing in the NZ Short Course Championships, which reeled in swimmers from around the world.

Juniors Luke Muir, Ben McConachy, Josh Wight, Sophie McKenzie, Riley Harris, Hannah Simmons, Trinity O’Keefe, Nicolette Wight and Jordi Vanderkolk all competed, with 14-year-old Luke Muir winning gold for 1500-metre freestyle and silver for 800-metre freestyle.

The rest of the team achieved top 10 finishes and personal bests over days of competition.

The team was supported by coach Dylan Muir, as well as senior swimmers Jarrod Muir, Alex Muir and Hayley Wight.

Luke Muir was thrilled with his medal wins and enjoyed the experience.

“I tried to compose myself, but I was just so happy with myself when I got the medals,” he said.

“It benefited me a lot, just learning how to cope in high-pressure circumstances against some fast kids.”

With the swimmers being young and constantly developing, the championships provided the perfect opportunity to test their ability on a world stage.

Coach Dylan Muir was happy with the experience his team gained.

“It was great. I think it’s really going to help bring everyone closer together,” he said.

“Going away to another country, you’re around each other constantly. You get mixed emotions with racing, not every race is a great race, so it was about picking each other up and congratulat- YOUNG GUN: 14-year-old Luke Muir won a gold and silver medal during the tournament in New Zealand. ing each other as well.”

Being around each other certainly helped the team.

For Luke, the support of his teammates and of those back home spurred him on.

“It was great having everyone there,” he said.

“It just pumped you up knowing everyone there and at home was supporting and staying in tune.”

While the tournament was a success for the club, the swimmers and coaches know they still have far to go.

With swimmers like Luke having aspirations to compete in the Australia nationals, the club is ensuring they develop the right way.

“We want to create a culture where they’re striving for excellence, in the pool and out of the pool with schoolwork, jobs…that’s what we demand,” coach Dylan Muir said.

“The reward is you get to compete with people from all over the world. There were swimmers from Dubai, Fiji, Tonga…so to give them life experience is really important to prepare.”

Many swimmers from around the world competed at the New Zealand short course championships.
