Snapchatting driver Peter Agius jailed for crash that killed Adam Sutton
A Victorian driver who was distracted by a series of Snapchat messages and caused a crash that killed a Glengarry man will spend almost a decade behind bars. On Thursday Traralgon man Peter Agius, 23, was sentenced in the Melbourne County Court to nine years and eight months' imprisonment with a non-parole period of six years. He has already served 122 days. In March Agius was found guilty by a jury of culpable driving causing the death of livestock agent Adam John Sutton and negligently causing serious injury to Mr Sutton's son, Darcy, on January 31, 2023. Mr Sutton, 35, had collected six-year-old Darcy from his first day of school when Agius's vehicle collided with their car at the intersection of Traralgon-Maffra and Farmers roads in Glengarry. Mr Sutton died at the scene. Darcy was flown to the Royal Children's Hospital with critical injuries. He suffered a permanent brain injury. The court heard Agius sent 44 Snapchats and received 41 responses while driving down the busy road before the crash. One of those replies came 20 seconds before the crash. In his sentencing, Judge Kevin Doyle said the circumstances amounted to an "accident waiting to happen". "You should have seen Mr Sutton slow to turn — you should have slowed down in response," he said. "You failed to because you were not paying attention on the road. Judge Doyle said the crash was a "complete tragedy" for all the people involved. The courtroom was filled with Mr Sutton's grieving family members on Thursday. In a previous hearing Mr Sutton's mother, Leanne Sutton, said her son's death was a "harrowing experience" that no parent should ever have to go through. "It's a living nightmare, which sadly can only be truly understood with a lived experience," she said in her victim impact statement. Ms Sutton added there were "so many emotional scars" that would never heal. She said about 1,000 people attended Mr Sutton's funeral and 2,000 more watched the service online. Ms Sutton's husband, Ray, said the loss of their son had put the family in a state of shock and that family functions had never been the same since.

Maxville Community Market worth checking out
The Friday Market located at King George Park in the village of Maxville has much to offer shoppers looking for locally grown produce, handcrafted pieces, unique gift items and freshly baked goods. The Market was established in 2010 and has continued to operate ever year in town from the middle of May to October on Fridays from 2:00-6:00p.m. The outdoor market even managed to stay open during the pandemic, under the guidance of Audrey Evans and the cooperation of the vendors & shoppers, using directional arrows and taped off distances. For 12 years, Kate Hakboort has been responsible for the Avonmore Berry Farm shop, which has participated in the Market since its inception. Kate feels that being part of the Maxville Community Market is worthwhile; from selling a bounty of products such as vegetables and jams, to connecting with residents from the community and networking with local businesses. In addition, the popup market provides opportunity to invite shoppers to visit the Avonmore Berry Farm shop where some of the tastiest pies from the area are baked. Sadie & June has a permanent storefront in the village of Maxville, but also participates in the Friday Market. The shop opened on Main Street in July 2024 and offers unique Canadian gift items, framed art and custom-designed t-shirts – all with a Glengarry flair. Since travel and adventure are important to their own story, Andrew & Kendall, owners of the store, create hand-stitched, framed maps. Choose your most memorable spot, and they will stitch a single heart, connecting hearts or a meaningful word on a map anywhere in the world. A large sampling of everything the shop has to offer was available at the Market. Catherine ten Den from Thomas Treasures is a one-stop-shop with baked goods, handmade soaps, creatively printed & custom-cut repurposed books and the most beautiful hand-cut cards. From a garden of flowers that popup to intricate detailed designs depicting animals and patterns, these cards are one-of-a-kind pieces of art anyone would appreciate. Lilac Lane Garden is participating for the first time in 2025. Katelyn and Emma Padbury are first-generation farmers offering handmade soaps, dog treats, locally produced maple syrup, raspberry plants and microgreens. Katelyn & Emma started their venture with a small vegetable stand and are growing their business to include more products as they discover what the community is looking for. As their website says, 'Farm fresh and made with love' in everything they do. Christine from the General Market in St. Isadore is taking part in the Market for the second year. The General Market is a corner store offering grocery market goods with locally produced meats and produce, along with grab-and-go pasta & potato salads and fresh soups. Christine also supports feeding hungry families in both Maxville and Riceville by donating to the food drop boxes. Christine shares eggs and any products that are close to their best before dates to do her part to help the community. Edna Sinclair from Muddy Toes Organics is a local permaculture farmer who has been part of the Market for more than four years. Edna sells herbs and plants in her popup market, but is also involved in teaching workshops and sharing her knowledge on the health benefits of herbal teas and how to make special blends. Edna Sinclair believes in growing everything the old-fashioned way and doing much of the work by hand. She can help customers source specialty plants and assist in getting the new plants put into the garden. Jocelyne Gratton, a local Avon representative is in her third year at the Market with assorted Avon products available for sale. Shoppers can even get some Thai food from Thum's Kitchen to take home for dinner after stopping in to shop. Although Spring is a little late and the first Fridays have been burdened with rain, the dedicated vendors at the Maxville Community Market have been popping up their tents and displaying their products for sale. This conveniently-located Market is worth the effort of visiting to browse the tents and see what is on offer – shoppers are sure to find something.
