2 East Gippsland News Weekend | February 2025 Local audiences are set to witness an extraordinary dance experience as TOUCH arrives at the Forge Theatre on Sunday, February 23, at 2pm. This critically acclaimed production seamlessly weaves together the ancient grace of Bharathanatyam with the seamless fluidity of ballet, creating a visually stunning and emotionally charged performance. At its core, TOUCH explores themes of connection, transformation and the resilience of the human spirit — brought to life through the universal language of dance. The production is the brainchild of two exceptional artists: - Deepa Mani, an award-winning Bharathanatyam exponent renowned for her evocative storytelling and innovative choreography. - Sheena Chundee, a celebrated Ballet dancer and choreographer whose artistry blends classical elegance with contemporary depth. The collective behind TOUCH is a dynamic group of women of colour from Asian, Indian, Mauritian and British backgrounds. The blend of Bharathanatyam's rhythmic storytelling with ballet's refined precision serves as a metaphor for cultural dialogue. Beginning with distinct movement styles that reflect separation and isolation, the performance evolves into a seamless, "bilingual" dance language— symbolising the power of diversity and inclusion. Following four sold-out shows at Dancehouse Melbourne in October 2023 and coverage in Broadsheet and Indian Link, TOUCH now brings its acclaimed storytelling to Regional Victoria, offering audiences a transformative and thoughtprovoking experience. Together, they create an immersive dance experience that transcends cultural and artistic boundaries, bridging tradition with modernity. Step into the world of TOUCH — a groundbreaking production that challenges conventions, celebrates cultural exchange, and leaves an unforgettable mark on audiences.

3 February 2025 | East Gippsland News Weekend Supporting bushfire– affected communities at the Australian Open On the fifth anniversary of the Rally as One program, 200 community members impacted by bushfires were welcomed to Australian Open 2025. The Australian Tennis foundation's Rally as One program marked its fifth anniversary this year – continuing its vital support for communities impacted by natural disasters. Founded amid the Black Summer Bushfires, the Rally as One program assists communities affected by disasters by helping to rebuild local infrastructure and offering free community events and tennis programs to strengthen social connections. To commemorate the anniversary, the ATF hosted 200 people from communities directly impacted by the floods and bushfires in regional Victoria at Australian Open 2025. These families were VIP guests at an exhibition match during the Australian Open's Opening Week. "The past five years have been extraordinarily challenging for these families, as their lives were devastated by bushfires and floods", Director of ATF, Vicki Reid said. "Throughout this period, the Australian Tennis Foundation has been steadfast in providing financial support to help them rebuild and recover. "The event marked the fifth anniversary of our ongoing efforts, and we were so honoured to offer these families a trip of joy, unity, and unforgettable experiences at the Australian Open." Community Tennis Club members from Mallacoota, Orbost, Clifton Creek and Bairnsdale attended the trip, strengthening the social impact of local tennis clubs as community connectors. Clifton Creek Tennis Club junior members Gemma Dennett (aged nine) and Charles Whelan (aged nine) had the opportunity to do the official coin toss on Rod Laver Arena for 'The Game Changers' charity matches as part of AO Opening Week. Players included Carlos Alcaraz, Alexei Popyrin, Jannik Sinner and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

6 East Gippsland News Weekend | February 2025 Strengthening firefighter skills and relationships Last Tuesday night, Meerlieu CFA Fire Brigade had the privilege of hosting a multi-brigade training exercise that brought together brigades from both our local group and the neighbouring District 11. Fire doesn’t respect boundaries, so it makes sense that our sstraining shouldn’t either. Despite a few late-afternoon fires making attendance uncertain, we were thrilled to see a strong turnout. Joining us for the evening were firefighters from: - Stratford Fire Brigade - Lindenow Fire Brigade - Clydebank Fire Brigade - Perry Bridge Fire Brigade - Fernbank Fire Brigade - Bengworden Fire Brigade - Munro Fire Brigade - Glenaladale Fire Brigade Unfortunately, Briagolong CFA had to miss out as they were engaged with a significant fire, but the commitment shown by all brigades attending was fantastic. Practical, Real-World Training Scenarios The night featured three key training exercises designed to enhance our operational skills and interoperability: - Radio communication and turnout procedures: Firefighters were given hands-on training with the new portable radios, reinforcing the importance of clear communication, understanding pager messages, and ensuring a smooth turnout process with Firecom. - Grassfire and motor vehicle accident response: Crews practiced running a grassfire attack off the deck and refreshed their knowledge on handling MVAs. These are two of the most common incidents we face, so honing our skills in these areas is critical. - Equipment familiarisation: Firefighters had the opportunity to inspect the Mitchell Group’s big fill trailer, stationed at Lindenow Fire Brigade, and learn about the capabilities of Perry Bridge’s ultra-heavy tanker. Understanding the resources available within and beyond our district is invaluable in a major incident. Building Stronger Relationships for Future Incidents One of the biggest takeaways from the night was the importance of working closely with neighbouring brigades. Whether it’s a local incident or a major campaign fire, we need to be able to operate seamlessly together. Training exercises like this help build trust, familiarity, and shared understanding, ensuring we’re ready when it counts. A huge thank you to the instructors from Lindenow, Perry Bridge, and Stratford for helping to facilitate the training. And, of course, a big thanks to every firefighter who turned up on a Tuesday night to sharpen their skills. The success of this training night proves that cross-group and cross-district exercises are not only possible but highly beneficial. We encourage other brigades to consider similar collaborations — it’s a great way to strengthen our firefighting capability and build relationships that will serve us well in the future. Stay safe, and see you at the next training James Blandford, Captain Meerlieu Fire Brigade

8 East Gippsland News Weekend | February 2025 Anh Do’s inspiring story Get ready for an unforgettable night of laughter and inspiration as comedian, author, and artist Anh Do brings his Happiest Refugee Live! show to the Forge Theatre in Bairnsdale on Tuesday, February 25 at 7pm. The sold out show will detail Anh's life story - one of resilience and triumph. Born in Vietnam, he and his family fled to Australia as refugees in the late 1970s. His experiences navigating a new culture, learning a new language and building a life in a new country have shaped his perspective and fueled his comedy. Anh's bestselling autobiography, The Happiest Refugee, has captivated readers with its humour and heartfelt account of his journey. Now, he's bringing his story to life on stage, combining stand-up comedy with personal anecdotes, photos and filmed segments. The Happiest Refugee Live! is more than just a comedy show, it's an uplifting and moving experience. Anh's infectious energy and irrepressible humour will have you laughing, while his stories of perseverance and hope will leave you feeling inspired. Anh is a celebrated Australian entertainer who has appeared on numerous TV shows, including Thank God You're Here and Dancing with the Stars. He is also an accomplished author and artist, with his children's book series becoming national bestsellers. The Happiest Refugee has been praised by critics and audiences alike, with Russell Crowe calling it "the most surprising and inspiring read I have had in years". With New Year celebrations now behind us and March just around the corner, it's time to get seriously thinking about 2025 Marlay Point Overnight Race. This year's staging of the historic event will be on March 8-9, with many skippers having already organised their crew and prepared the boat for the trailer trip to Gippsland. The Marlay Point Overnight Race has been running on the Gippsland Lakes since 1969 and is the only overnight race for trailer sailors in Australia, earning the reputation as the Sydney-Hobart for smaller yachts. Regarded as Australia's premier race for trailable yachts and multi-hulls, about 4000 boats and 11,000 sailors have been involved over the past 50 years, making the overnight race a must-do on every trailer sailor's bucket list. This year's principal race officer is Ron Parker, a gentleman well-known in trailable yacht racing and cruising circles. Parker first competed in the race in 1994 and 1995 in a Hartley TS16 borrowed from a cousin. Finishing both those years in a TS16 was significant given the number of boats that retired, capsized or sunk. Returning to the race in 2001 and 2002, Parker sailed his Castle 650 "Hot Shot", before piloting from 2006 continuously through to 2022, infamous Noelex 25 "Tainui". Over those 17 years there were mixed conditions and results with great numbers, Noelex making excellent class racing. In 2023 Ron crewed on a Castle 650 with Doug Whitby and in 2024 crewed on a Noelex 25 with David Philipps. Parker loves the event and is grateful to be involved again this year. "I've always been very passionate about this unique sailing event and over the years have welcomed new trailable yacht sailors to crew with me for the experience before they embark on their own adventure to experience the Marlay Magic," Parker said. Having been involved in race management for decades and run trailable yacht events on Port Phillip, Parker brings a huge amount of experience to the task of race officer for the Marlay Point race. "It's important that participants have a positive and memorable experience of this event and come back in following years. Equally it's important that participants have a respect for personal safety given the heightened risks of sailing at night over an extensive waterway," Parker said. Entries are flowing in steadily for the 2025 event. Entries flowing for Marlay Point Overnight Race This year’s Marley Point Overnight Race principal officer is the experienced Ron Parker, who first competed in the event in 1994.

9 February 2025 | East Gippsland News Weekend Singer-songwriters Bill Jackson and Frank Jones are bringing their Kitchen Table Tour to the Stratford Courthouse on Saturday, February 15. Bill Jackson has firmly established himself over the past few years as one of Australia's finest singer/songwriters. He has released eight solo albums and toured North America four times. Steel & Bone was awarded Folk Alliance Australia Radio Presenters Album of the Year in 2008 and his song Something in Blue was covered by legendary Americana artist David Olney. The Wayside Ballads Vol 2 was nominated for a Music Victoria Award in 2016 while his 2021 album The Wayside Ballads Vol 3 was awarded Contemporary Album of the Year at The Australian Folk Music Awards. He has just released a new album, 1965. Many of Bill's songs are co-written with his brother, Sale resident and local historian, Ross Jackson. Paul Kelly said: "Frank Jones sings songs about people that walk down the same streets I do, cross the same rivers, drink the same brand of beer. I know the people in his songs." As a founding member of The Whirling Furphies, Frank penned Melbourne's iconic anthem, My Brown Yarra, one of the great songs about Melbourne. Frank has won the Lawson Paterson Songwriters' Award (Port Fairy Folk Festival), two Labour Day Song Awards, an Apollo Bay Music Festival Song Award and an Australian Songwriters' Award. His songs have been nominated for the 2013 Aria Song of the Year, 2013 APRA Urban Song of the Year and APRA Most Played Australian Work of the Year, reaching number eight on the 2011 Triple J Hottest 100. His lifetime of crossgenre songwriting includes five outstanding albums of his own and a multitude of songs written for and co-written with other artists. Bill and Frank will be joined onstage by multi-instrumentalist and founding member of Weddings Parties Anything, Dave Steel. Tickets can be purchased at the Stratford Courthouse Theatre website. Singing at the kitchen table Singer-songwriters Frank Jones and Bill Jackson, and instrumentalist Dave Steel (centre) will hit the stage at Stratford Courthouse Theatre on Saturday, February 15 as part of their Kitchen Table Tour. (PS) RETHINK TAKING RISKS AROUND WATER UNSINKABLE GUY NO ONE’S UNSINKABLE To all those Unsinkable Guys out there – You might think it’s safe to have a few drinks around water, skip the life jacket when you’re out on the boat or go for a swim without checking the conditions. But statistics prove that 4 out of 5 drownings are men. Just remember that no one’s unsinkable.

10 East Gippsland News Weekend | February 2025 Anglers lapping up good conditions There have been some great results for anglers across the region, a lot more good stories than bad.

11 February 2025 | East Gippsland News Weekend with Jeff Steedman MINDTALK Is there really no “I” in Team? This is an old sporting adage often seen in many changerooms and workplace team meeting rooms around the world. Depending on their modus operandi, coaches and leaders beg, beseech, implore, cajole or aggressively demand their players buy into this belief. I remember playing sport for many years and never questioning this, it had become such a truism that I just accepted that it must be right. It wasn’t until many years later that I learned what really motivates human beings and I began to question the wisdom of the saying. I know the intent is to create selfless team members who sacrifice all for the sake of the team or cause. I also know there are some who seem to buy into it and really do put life and limb on the line for their sport. Finally, I know that all people are playing and performing because of their own needs, not because of and often in spite of, the exhortations to give their all to the team. So how does this work? Every human being is driven to meet their needs, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. All of us have the same needs, but we each have our own unique mixture of these which is genetically determined. Gradually we learn and develop a suite of behaviours which are intended to meet these needs. To a greater or lesser extent our needs will then be met. When they are, we are truly happy and content, when not we tend to be angry, sad or anxious and generally unhappy. Each person playing in a team is there because they want to meet their own particular suite of needs, perhaps winning and success is the most important for one, for someone else it may be that they are there for the connection and sense of belonging, yet another may want the security that comes with being a member of the group, perhaps someone is there to learn, grow and just enjoy the experience, one may also be there because of the freedom they experience in participating. These needs are the true motivators and are different for every single one of us. Great coaches and leaders intuitively understand this and strive to create a team culture and environment which recognises that there are in fact many “I”s in any great team. Meet and greet Meeting and greeting people and other dogs is very important and should be done calmly and be positive for all. People meeting – a stranger comes into your space kissing you; wraps their arms around you; you’re sitting, they jump in your lap – appropriate? No. There’s usually a verbal introduction, personal space, perhaps a handshake. Meeting etiquette. As it should be with dogs. 1. Know your dog, its body language, does it like meeting other dogs, does it need to? Does it dislike some breeds? 2. Have a good strong relationship with your dog 3. Know if your dog is ‘rude’ in its approaches, in which case do you meet and greet, if you do are you are prepared to step in and help it go well. Know what is rude. 4. Ask, there are many reasons that someone may say no. 5. Approach, it is ‘rude’ for a dog to approach another dog nose to nose, ‘polite’ dogs will curve on approach toward the side or to sniff butt. A direct approach nose to nose can cause reactivity 6. Time, a meet and greet should be about three seconds, in this time the dogs shouldn’t decide they hate each other. 7. Disengage, move the dogs away from each other, this is where your relationship is important – do not yank/pull the dog away. Learn more at Bairnsdale and District Dog Obedience Club Inc.

15 February 2025 | East Gippsland News WeekendWine Dine EAST GIPPSLAND Books, a cuppa and a friendly welcome When owner Charlotte Tiffin first opened the Book Nook Café, in Macleod Street, Bairnsdale eight years ago, she had an inkling it would be a popular stop for book and coffee lovers. “Browsing books, while you enjoy coffee and a snack, sounded like a great recipe to me!” Charlotte said.

The café’s homemade dishes are prepared using fresh, locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients. “We use milk from the Bairnsdale Dairy, locally-baked bread from Bairnsdale Bakehouse, we grow some of our own veggies, and often use our own free-range eggs!” Charlotte smiled. “We also have a herb garden in a planter box, right outside the shop.” Offering “sensible, affordable pricing and great value for money”, the cafe’s light-lunch favourites include toasties, focaccias and the signature savoury lunch special – a homemade bacon and zucchini muffin with salad and relish. Book Nook Café has delicious, smooth-tasting coffee, hot chocolate, a variety of pot-brewed teas and a signature homemade carrot cake that’s an irresistible sweet treat for morning tea or after lunch. It also has plenty of off-street parking, free Wi-Fi and stocks a limited range of specialty, retail food items, like local Tongio honey.

It will charge the palate with a surprising blend of fresh citrus flavour and a touch of sweetness. Best served chilled. TIME WITH BRETT Wine Price: $14.99 Rating: Brett Stewart Store Manager, Dan Murphy's Bairnsdale Plenty of pizazz Old Fat Unicorn Citrus Sorbet Spritz Unwanted traps of fame Directed by James Mangold, A Complete Unknown tells the story of Bob Dylan and his meteoric rise to fame. Born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, Bob Dylan and his grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Ukraine and Lithuania. Robert Zimmerman is a most elusive mysterious man. This is made clear by Joan Baez (Oscar Nom Supporting Actress Monica Barbaro) and Sylvie Russo (real name Suze Rotolo, Elle Fanning) when Joan thumbs through a scrapbook labelled Personal Property of Bobby Zimmerman. Russo later tells Bobby that he never comes forward with who he really is, that he's invented someone who keeps the real him to himself. "You never talk about your family, your past." When Zimmerman arrived in New York to meet a hospitalised Woody Guthrie in 1961, he introduced himself as Bob Dylan, the Dylan coming from his love of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, information not forthcoming in the film. It seems he made the name change decision to afford some anonymity on stage. Picking a new name while performing meant he could become a whole new character. That he had long fingernails is almost accurately portrayed. Early in the movie they aren't as long, but by the end, Dylan had some full-on nails that would make Nosferatu blush, if he could. The theory is the nails helped him fingerpick guitar strings, whilst others claim it was just poor hygiene. Dylan mostly used picks, fancy name plectrum. Oscar-nominated-director James Mangold based his film on history but was mainly concerned with capturing the essence of the era 1961-65. It makes us feel like we're really in the '60s. "It's not really a Bob Dylan biopic," Mangold said. Dylan himself wrote notes on the script and, at the final session, according to Mangold, he signed the script and said, "Go. With. God." There are about 40 songs featured in the movie. Although never meeting, when Dylan (Oscar Nom Actor Timothée Chalamet) sings, it is Chalamet's voice we hear. Chalamet's vocal sounds are so similar to Dylan's, many fans wonder whose voice is on the soundtrack. As Dylan, Chalamet also plays guitar and harmonica. As to what it was like playing harmonica, his answer was simply, "a lotta sucking and blowing." Producer Fred Berger confirmed that Chalamet sang and played "live, take after take after take." "It was important for me to sing and play live," Chalamet told Entertainment Weekly, "because if I can actually do it, why should there be an element of artifice here? And I'm proud that we took that leap." Timothée Chalamet's Dylan is solid; he absolutely disappears into the complex character, not by imitation, but by the closest means to Stanislavski's Method Acting, by literally becoming the character - he even gained more than nine kilograms to play Dylan. An unknown "urban hillbilly" (called so by Joan Baez), 19-year-old Bobby Zimmerman arrived in New York as a re-invented Bob Dylan in 1961. With his guitar, he created alliances with musical icons Pete Seeger (Oscar Nom Supporting Actor Edward Norton) and Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy), eventually Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook). It's a meteoric rise as a folk singer, to concerts and the top of the charts. Groundbreaking was his electric rock-and-roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, and the audience's poor reception to it. As much as Dylan desired fame, or not, to reach the summit of musical achievement, he disliked the trappings or extras that accompany fame, especially his worshipping fans and having to reprise his songs that gained popularity. Timothée Chalamet played Dylan's good and not-so-shining personality, accepted and depicted the callousness of Dylan's imperfection. Whether a fault in the movie's screenplay or Dylan's own character flaw, his dismissal of fan adulation, his treatment of the women in his life, his manipulation of the people who advanced his career and subsequent turning his back on them, these grated. Dylan's burgeoning celebrity strained his relationship with Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Sylvie, the love of his life. There's not a lot of happiness revolving around famous people in this biopic. It's about the pressures of being famous, about the pressures that come from the expectations from the community where one becomes famous. Makes you wonder why people want to be famous at all! Ever!
