#AceNewsDesk – Happy the calf set to live his life bringing smiles to faces after sale to Victorian field day event: Farm World bought the calf for $10,000, which will be donated to the West Gippsland Hospital, which is being redeveloped after years of neglect

The sale of a “once-in-a-lifetime” calf born with a smiley face on his coat means he will be bringing smiles to faces for the rest of his days — and help with the redevelopment of a Victorian hospital in the process.

Ripplebrook dairy farmers Megan and Barry Coster were amazed last week when they discovered a Holstein bull calf with “unbelievable” markings.

Since the ABC broadcast the story about the calf the Costers have been bombarded with requests from media from around the world, which quickly got old.

“We are pretty much over the circus — it’s gone viral,” Mr Coster said.

So the couple decided to find a buyer for Happy, which is where Farm World, a field day event run at Warragul’s Lardner Park, stepped in.

Proceeds to fund hospital upgrade

Farm World chief executive Craig Debnam said a board member and livestock agent alerted him to the potential sale.

“So we sat down with the chairman and the deputy chair of our department said, ‘Listen, this might be a great opportunity for Lardner Park to give Happy a really nice home it’s literally around the corner from Barry and Megan’s house,'” he said.

Mr Coster wanted the money to go to the hospital because “all our children were born there and people we care about have been patients”.

Mr Debnam says the special calf will be on display at Farm World, which started today and goes until Sunday, March 26.

“We’re expecting 40,000 people through,” Mr Debnam said.

“So what a great opportunity for people to see Happy and put a smile on their face.”Happy the calf is quite satisfied with his new home, according to the breeder who looks after him.(ABC Gippsland: Sarah Price)none

Happy will live out his life on Warragul’s rolling hills with other cattle for company.

“I think he’s a once-in-a-lifetime calf which our patrons at Farm World will enjoy for many years to come,” Mr Debnam said.

The Lardner Park site is a 120-hectare working farm that has a property manager to oversee the livestock.

Mr Debnam said the property conducted “Australia’s only grass-fed steer trial,” so Happy would have plenty of pals.

“We’ll to look after this animal very, very well and he’ll have a fantastic life,” he said.Happy the calf was a hit with the students from Bona Vista Primary School.(ABC Gippsland: Sarah Price)none

Happy calf ‘not fazed by anything’

Hundreds of families, travellers and students turned up at Farm World on Friday to see Happy at his new home.

Excitement buzzed around the cattle pavilion station and many people posed for selfies with Happy.

For Bona Vista Primary School students, seeing Happy was the highlight of their Farm World excursion.

“Happy is up and about and walking around, and I can see his smiley face so clearly,” Georgia said.

Another student, Jonah, said it was “pretty cool to see Happy because I saw him on social media last week”.

“I spoke to my friends about him and this is my first time on a farm,” he said.

“I’m really happy that Happy is the new mascot and that he won’t die anytime soon.”

Watching over Happy at Farm World is Karen Morham, a stud breeder who says there has been plenty of interest in the one-month-old.

“The feedback’s been great and there’s so many children and adults interested in seeing the smiley face on the side of Happy,” she said.

“Happy is just happy — he’s been snoozing and he is up, moving, and not fazed by anything.”

AUSTRALIA NATIONAL UNIVERSITY SCIENCE REPORT: Victorian 2021 Earthquake Caused by Fault in Earths Crust

Ace Press News From Cutting Room Floor: Published: Mar.22: 2023:

#AceNewsDesk – Scientists say the largest #earthquake ever recorded in Victoria was caused by a previously unknown fault line deep within the Earth’s crust.

Play Video. Duration: 1 minute 48 seconds
The 2021 quake was felt through Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Launceston.

The magnitude-5.9 earthquake — which struck in September 2021 — was centred near the tiny town of Woods Point, about 130 kilometres east of Melbourne.

Although it caused only minor damage, the earthquake was larger than the 1989 Newcastle earthquake, which killed 13 people.

The 2021 quake caused some damage to buildings in Melbourne, including on the famous Chapel Street shopping strip, when it hit at 9:15am.

The tremor was also felt in parts of New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.

Now new research by seismologists at the Australian National University, published in Seismological Research Letters, has determined that the earthquake was caused by a previously unknown, deep-lying “blind fault” with no visible presence on the surface.

“We’re quite lucky that the earthquake didn’t happen near a more populated area,” lead researcher Sima Mousavi said.

The researchers were able to determine the cause of the earthquake using a network of seismic sensors located in schools.

Dr Mousavi said teachers from the schools contacted the researchers to say they had seen “large amplitude wiggles” on the sensors’ screens.

Blind faults can be particularly dangerous because their presence can be unknown until an earthquake caused by their instability hits.

“Blind faults can pose a significant threat as they can generate large earthquakes but they are hidden from us. This can make it difficult to identify areas that are at risk from earthquakes, which can be dangerous for communities living nearby,” Dr Mousavi said.

“While blind faults may be more difficult to identify and study than faults with surface exposure, it is important to understand their location and behaviour and potential hazards in order to properly assess earthquake risk and take appropriate measures to protect communities and infrastructure.”Damage caused by the 2021 earthquake on Melbourne’s Chapel Street shopping strip.(AAP: James Ross)none

Adam Pascale, the chief scientist at the Melbourne-based Seismology Research Centre, said the ANU study was interesting because it identified a previously unknown fault.

“It does demonstrate that there are a lot of potential areas for other events,” Mr Pascale said. 

He pointed out that without signs of past seismic activity on the surface, the only way to identify quake-prone areas was through monitoring activity using sensors.

Mr Pascale said there had been more than 1,000 aftershocks since the 2021 earthquake, and that the SRC was still recording one or two a week.

BREAKING AUSTRALIA VICTORIA POLICE REPORT: Police release image of man sought following violent Shepparton home invasion

Ace Press News From Cutting Room Floor: Published: Jan.19: 2023:

#AceBreakingNews – Police are appealing for public assistance to help identify a male they believe is connected to a violent Shepparton home invasion, which left one of the occupants with life threatening injuries

Detectives from Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) have today released a computer-generated image of a man allegedly seen in the area on the night of the incident in September last year.

The male is described as being of African appearance, approximately 178 cm’s tall (5ft 10’), aged in his late teens to early 20’s, medium build, clean shaven and neatly dressed.

The computer-generated image has been released after local police received a number of information reports from the public in relation to the incident, which occurred on Friday 2 September 2022.

It is alleged that five male offenders, all of African appearance, entered an address on Sidney Court in Shepparton shortly after 9.20pm. Two male residents were assaulted and airlifted to Royal Melbourne Hospital, including:

• A 33-year-old male resident who received a life-threatening stab wound to the leg and remained in a coma for five weeks. He is currently still in hospital with limited function to his left leg.

• Another 33-year-old male resident who received multiple injuries to the head and upper body.

Investigators believe the group of men involved in the incident left the address and ran into nearby Vibert Reserve.

Quotes attributable to Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Shortis, Shepparton CIU:

Investigators are encouraging anyone with information to contact detectives from the Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit on 5820 5777 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

“Since this violent attack occurred in September, our team of detectives have conducted an extensive investigation.

“This investigation has progressed significantly due to a number of pieces of key information received from the public, including witnesses from the evening of the incident.

“The facial image released today has been generated as a result of this information, leading us to believe this man can assist police with our enquires.

“We also believe this man is a Shepparton local – there will be people in our community who know who he is, and we urge them to contact police.

“This attack was pre-meditated and violent, leaving one male fighting for life and the other with serious head and upper body injuries.

“My message to the offenders involved is clear – when you decide to engage in violence such as this, it doesn’t simply go away, and neither will we.

“The net is rapidly closing on you and it will only be a matter of time before we come knocking on your door if you don’t hand yourself in first.”

BREAKING AUSTRALIA VICTORIA WEATHER REPORT: Power Now Restored Across State That Brought Down Trees Leaving Damage

This is our daily post that is shared across Twitter & Telegram and published first on here with Kindness & Love XX on peace-truth.com/

#AceNewsRoom in Kindness & Wisdom provides News & Views @acebreakingnews

Ace Press News From Cutting Room Floor: Published: Jan.15: 2023:

#AceWeatherDesk – Power has been restored to thousands of Victorian homes after storms and heavy rain swept across parts of the state, bringing down trees and damaging properties.

Play Video. Duration: 37 seconds
Benalla was hit by a storm that one resident described as “chaos”.

The storms started in Gippsland in the state’s east and intensified over the north-west.

At Falls Creek, in the state’s alpine region, just under 20 millimetres of rain fell in the space of an hour overnight.

In Benalla, near Wangaratta, the Bureau of Meteorology recorded 18mm of rain in just 15 minutes.

The fast-moving storm brought down trees, with the State Emergency Service (SES) receiving dozens of calls for help.

The local Benalla unit said it was working through a large number of jobs after the area “suffered some significant storm damage”.

Benalla resident Nikita Gambrell said the storm was “unlike anything”.

“The sheer force of it, watching the trees bend to the ground,” she said.

She said she was in a car as the storm intensified and described “chaos” and “noise” on the drive home.

Power companies have been working to restore electricity to thousands of homes across the state, with nearly 5,000 properties without power at the peak of the outage.

More than 3,000 properties, mostly in the east, remained without power by 9am. About half of those were in Benalla, which has a population of about 10,000.

By 2pm Sunday, about 1,000 homes still needed to be re-connected.The storms brought trees down across roads.(Supplied: Di Harper)none

Bureau senior meteorologist Christie Johnson said north-eastern parts of the state could be hit by more storms.

“As that trough lingers, that cool change that moved through yesterday is going to linger around the north-east of the state today,” she said on Sunday morning.

“The good news is that most of the thunderstorm activity is likely to be up around the high country, and particularly around the far eastern ranges.”

Despite the storms bringing cooler temperatures to some parts of the state, severe heatwave conditions are still affecting northern areas.

Wodonga and Wangaratta were forecast to reach 36 degrees Celsius on Sunday.

After the mercury hit 37C in Melbourne on Saturday, a top of just 21C was forecast for Sunday.

But it will only be a temporary reprieve, with 30C forecast for Melbourne on Monday and 37C predicted for Tuesday.The roof of a church in Benalla was ripped off in the storm.(Supplied)none
