Ararat projects primed P

BY DEAN LAWSON

rivate multi-million-dollar land projects are set to open the door for critical new housing opportunities in Ararat.

A Greenhill Lake Estate project, 16 years in the making, is now deep into final planning stages and a new Chalambar Golf Club development is also close to having a green light. Together the projects will ultimately add more than 260 residential lots to the city’s housing market. Both enterprises represent a major tick in a box in Ararat progress and development plans, which require population, infrastructure and service growth to succeed. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said Ararat was in desperate need of housing land and the projects would ‘go a long way’ to resolving the issue. “There is obviously no doubt that regional Victoria has a general housing shortage and Ararat needs residential development. It is part of the planning socio-economic jigsaw puzzle Ararat needs to strongly move forward,” he said. “We’re confident that Ararat, being only two hours from Melbourne and with good connectivity, represents a great place for people to live.” Dr Harrison said he believed changing land-market circumstances in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic had made private development in Ararat more attractive and the city needed to make the

most of the opportunity. An Ararat development group including Max Perovich, Andrew Eastick and Mark Damman is behind the Greenhill Lake Estate, on Ararat’s eastern fringe and including 158 parcels of land ranging from 600 to 10,000 square metres. About 80 percent of design work is complete with the developers now in the final design phase and close to pushing ahead with the 10 to 15-lot initial stage. First-stage lots will be about 2700 square metres. Mr Perovich said the hope was for stage one of the project to start as soon as possible. “As a group we have believed in the project since conception in 2004 when first presented to the council. All the stars are now lining up,” he said. “We hope to fill various voids in the market and expect the development to be ongoing for several years. “We have to manage it carefully and cautiously but there seems to be significant demand. “We believe it is extremely attractive – the vista is amazing – and feel it offers significant value. “It’s been in the mix for a long time. There’s a need for growth in the town and a need for building blocks.” Continued page 3

MARCHING ON: Music has been a lifelong passion for Natimuk’s Charlie McCuish, who performed for the last time on Australia Day. The musician retired from playing tuba in Natimuk Brass Band after a 68year commitment. Mr McCuish, 83, said late bandmaster Bill Schmidt played a key role in influencing his dedication to the band. He said friendships he formed during this time was among the most memorable parts of his music career. Story, page 16. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

System ready for continued flows F

BY DEAN LAWSON

urther stormwater generated by rain foreast for the Wimmera’s upper catchment later this week is likely to enter the Wimmera River system and maintain flows already on their way northwest.

That is an assessment from Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, busy monitoring the impact of heavy rain in the region and water flowing throughout the Wimmera and neighbouring systems. Authority chief executive David Brennan said the upper catchment remained saturated and more rain without an immediate onset of hot weather meant rivers and streams would continue to run. “There has been significant rain across the system,” he said. “Last Thursday we had an average of 60 millimetres of rain across the

upper catchment and then Friday further falls in the 15 to 20mm range. Some areas further north of the upper catchment had in excess of 100mm. “We’ve seen the creeks and streams that contribute to the Wimmera River have inflows in what represents a very encouraging start to the year.” Some Wimmera settlements were subject to flash flooding and Mr Brennan made his comments as forecasters predicted more heavy rain across Victoria this week, particularly on Friday. A major flow generated in the river’s upper catchment quickly reached Horsham this week, forcing authorities to adjust weir-pool levels to allow the flow to push downstream. Mr Brennan said water flowing in the river represented a ‘notable pulse’ and he was confident the water would make its way to the river’s end. He also confirmed the authority had stopped an environmental flow designed to mitigate a blackwater and

salinity threat caused by poor-quality water generated by an upper-catchment storm during the New Year’s break. “The flush we’re getting will certainly remove any remnants of poor-quality water that had gathered in Horsham weir pool during the past couple of weeks,” he said. “It will get plenty of nutrients moving that will in turn get the food chain along the river firing as well. “It will improve salinity levels and general water health and all but rules out blue-green algae outbreaks in the Wimmera River for the rest of summer. “Ultimately this is good news for lower-catchment areas. We’ve had a minor flood warning for the Avoca River, but there are none for the Wimmera system. But as always, we will closely follow what’s happening. “We haven’t had this type of scenario for a while, especially in the peak of summer.” Mr Brennan said he expected the

flow of water in the Wimmera River, likely to move through Horsham during the next six days, to be more of a benefit than hindrance to Horsham’s Labor Day weekend fishing competition. “It’s unlikely to put it in any doubt and will raise the expectation for a Jeparit contest at Easter,” he said. The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition is scheduled to go ahead in 2021 despite uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. An event committee is in the process of establishing guidelines for the March 7 contest and will soon call for entries. Mr Brennan said water flowing from the river into terminal lakes of Hindmarsh and Albacutya remained on the wish list of many people across the region. “Unfortunately we would need a scenario where there is continuous rain and every storage is overflowing.

We’re a long way from that, but you never know what can happen in the future,” he said. Water flowing into Lake Hindmarsh during 2011 floods filled 75 percent of the lake. The water failed to reach Lake Albacutya and much of it quickly evaporated. Horsham Rural City Council, meanwhile, urged farmers to consider moving stock away from low-lying areas of river frontage as the flow passed through Horsham. Infrastructure director John Martin said the flow was unlikely to have an impact on houses. “It is difficult to predict how quickly the peak might diminish as the dry river surrounds such as billabongs and floodways might absorb some of the peak,” he said. Mr Martin said the council needed to lower the weir pool in advance of the flush but aimed to return levels to normal as the flow passed.

Chalambar part of land proposal

ONE-MAN PROTEST: Horsham businessman Bill Ower believes a plan to merge Wimmera Health Care Group with Ballarat Health Services would be a major blow to the community. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Merger a ‘tremendous blow’ A Horsham businessman has taken to the city’s central business district in a one-man protest to challenge a merger proposal between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services. Real estate owner Bill Ower marched along Firebrace Street on Friday and Saturday last week wearing a ‘Save Our Hospital’ sandwich board in response to the merger plan. Mr Ower said he had major concerns a merger would result in a loss of hospital services and specialists. “I see this as a very dangerous proposal. It will be a tremendous blow to this community,” he said. “They would be surrendering the autonomy of our local hospital. It would still be here and could still be seen as being local, but it would

Wednesday, February 3, 2021

have no local management and we would lose ownership of it.” The health-care group has planned two community consultation sessions on Friday at Horsham Golf Club. The organisation hosted online consultations earlier this week. Mr Ower said the meetings were a deterrent for people who were working and wanted to contribute to the debate because they were planned during business hours. “And video calls are not a popular way of communicating with people,” he said. “There needs to be a town hall meeting in the evening about 7.30pm with an independent chairman where people could put their views forward and get up and ask questions.” – Dylan De Jong

From page 1 Chalambar Golf Club, meanwhile, is working with property developer Villawood Properties on an eight-hectare 106-residential-block development. The project, on the drawing board for 18 months to two years, involves the club selling and replacing four of the 18 holes at its picturesque and highly rated course. The development is earmarked for the northern corner section of the course off Golf Links Road and the club has bought land to the northwest for the replacement holes. Club president Charlie de Fegely described the area as prime real estate and an extension of a previous housing development.

“The blocks have been pegged out and in six to 18 months we should see a bit of action as preparation works start,” he said. Mr de Fegely said the club was also working with a Greg Norman Golf Course design team, which had presented a proposal of how the four new holes might look in the future. “It’s all quite exciting. What we’re doing isn’t a cheap exercise but it is allowing us to consider opportunities for the future,” he said. “There are short and long-term investment benefits, opportunities to create other income streams and even an avenue for the club to develop a ‘war’ chest. “Of course it is also a chance to enhance the district.”

Edna taking every day as it comes Horsham centenarian Edna Paech believes living ‘stress free’ is the secret to a long and joyful life. Close family and friends joined the former teacher at the weekend to help her celebrate her 100th birthday. When The Weekly Advertiser caught up with Edna on her birthday she said her secret to living a long life was ‘taking every day as it comes’. “Worrying achieves nothing. I am contented and thankful that I’ve lived joyfully throughout the years,” she said. The mother-of-three, who also has three grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren, was born in Dimboola. Mrs Paech later graduated from Horsham High School before gaining a scholarship at the University of Melbourne where she studied secondary education. “Horsham was home in earlier times when I was a student,” Mrs Paech said. “I later became a secondary school teacher and all in all I spent 25 years in the job.” Mrs Paech said she met her late husband pastor John Paech through her work at a Melbourne college. “I married John in 1946. That started a joyful life for me until he passed,” she said. “He was a brilliant man and much CONTENT: Edna Paech celebrates turning 100 late last week. loved in his work.”

Festivals in spotlight A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera development leader has urged volunteers across the region to continue planning for a resumption of traditional or new community festivals and events – in either 2021 or next year.

Wimmera Development Association chief executive Chris Sounness said the region could ill-afford to allow COVID-19 circumstances to have long-term crippling effects on community celebrations. “We can’t underestimate the importance of our annual community events, be they cultural, musical or sporting,” he said. “A WDA report in May last year identified the broad socio-economic benefits major community events brought to the region. “I urge everyone pondering whether the effort required is worth it to soldier on. “It might be that something can or cannot happen this year – and sure there are new levels of complexity to consider – but we need our volunteers to maintain their

vision and work through these circumstances. “Community festivals, events and activities are as much about community wellbeing as they are about generating business.” Mr Sounness was commenting amid community representatives across the region declaring events were either resuming this year or being postponed. “I urge volunteers and community committees to consider what they can do instead of what they can’t do,” he said. “What is important is that they don’t simply give up.

“There are going to be fresh opportunities in the ‘new’ future, if there aren’t already, and there is a range of support mechanisms in place. “There are some things that won’t be able to continue as they did before, but others that will be able to resume with some tweaking and that’s what we should all be exploring. “Community markets are one example where things can work. “It will be a case of committees contemplating whether to go ahead, modify or postpone again.” Autumn is a traditional festival season across the Wimmera-Mallee with the weather often more predictable than other times of the year. “It might be a case of wait and see what happens with the onset of autumn,” Mr Sounness said.

Mr Fraser has detailed what he believes the collective benefits might be in developing a greater partnership. Here is his letter – SIR, – 2020 like no other year has shown us the power of working together to face challenges and protect our community. Health services have played a key role in a regional response to COVID-19. Many hours of hard work went into planning how we would deal with an influx of cases across our region and I commend all health service staff who worked together to keep us safe. The efforts of our communities also deserve praise for the sacrifices made over the past year; your efforts have made a profound difference. During 2020 we were approached by Wimmera Health Care Group to consider ways to strengthen our already strong working relationship. The WHCG Board had considered very carefully the health needs of the Wimmera community before approaching us. What they see is a community whose health needs increasingly cannot be met locally. They also see a population whose basic health outcomes in terms of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer are among the poorest in the state. This means that 10 to 15 people every day leave the Wimmera region to access free public health care. The majority of these people come to Ballarat, which is disruptive and inconvenient for those needing care. The broad goals of the partnership project are simple; strengthen local health care capac-

ity, increase access to local services, enhance workforce opportunities and collectively lift the health outcomes for the people of the Wimmera. These goals are ambitious but achievable. Delivering more services in Horsham – by sharing staff, rotating clinics and other opportunities – would mean more people will be able to receive care closer to their family. Clinical staff would have an opportunity to work across multiple settings and at the top of their trained scope of practice. The health system works best when it is connected, ensuring that care needs can be met at a time and at a place that is matched with the care needs of the individual. Some may ask, if there is to be a partnership or an amalgamation, then why wouldn’t it be with local hospitals in the Wimmera rather than Ballarat Health Services? Although local partnerships, such as the Wimmera Southern Mallee Health Alliance, have existed for some time and will continue to exist, collectively this group does not have the breadth and depth of services that Ballarat offers. A stronger partnership with Ballarat must add capacity to the great work performed every day at WHCG. Having grown up in Horsham and having had countless trips to casualty at the old Wimmera Base Hospital, I know how important it is to hold on to the character and culture of your local hospital. Country hospitals are vital in supporting the community in times of great need. Regardless of the outcome of these partnership discussions, Ballarat Health Services looks forward to working with health services throughout our region to support the delivery of safe and accessible health care closer to your home.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Voice your opinion

RELEASE: Water flows through Horsham Weir yesterday.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

SIR, – I refer to the letter ‘Time to demand’ published, January 27, and add further comment to this perspective. The struggles of providing adequate health care for regional communities is not a new issue, nor is it an issue that can be fixed overnight. The idea that a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services would benefit the wider community is at best a laugh. There are other ways organisations can work together to enhance services they want to provide, as well as protecting the budgets they have been allocated. Be it a little late with the poor consultation period all but over, with Zoom and weekday face-to-face meetings, that can only be attended by a small portion of the community, I still

encourage the community to voice opinions on the proposed merger either in person on Friday, 11.30am-1pm and 2.30pm4pm at Horsham Golf Club. I would also hope Wimmera Health Care Group would consider hosting another evening session for community feedback in person, for people who cannot attend due to work obligations, or those who do not have access to Zoom. At the end of the day, we all want better health care. If the merger goes ahead, what will the benefit be for Ballarat Health Services in supporting small communities 200km away? Horsham’s Federation University campus and nursing program is a good example of what can happen when the governance moves away from being managed locally. Robert Letts, Horsham

Water – still liquid gold

e can’t help but dwell for a moment on comments from regional catchment leader David Brennan about water surging down the Wimmera River towards Jeparit.

Mr Brennan was confident the flow, the result of last week’s heavy rain in the region’s south-east, would make it all the way to the river’s end, providing the everthirsty lower catchment with a drink. But as images of flash-flooding across parts of the region did the rounds on social media, he was also quick to remind us that we were a long way from seeing any change to the Wimmera-Mallee’s terminal lakes of Hindmarsh and Albacutya. The reality is that it will take a fully loaded water-supply system, with full reservoirs and rivers and a wet catchment, to create an environment for the lakes to get even a sniff of water. When it is pouring rain like it did last week it can be hard to grasp the reality of how scarce run-off water has become. While rivers in the region are running as a result of the rain, our reservoirs received

only modest inflows. Results depended on where the rain fell. The luxury of a piped supply, while providing opportunities to develop critical security for vast stretches of western Victoria, also camouflages the constant fact that rain and run-off remain at a premium. Figures tell us that if we still had our historic open-channel supply system in place, in regard to supply, we would all but be in perpetual drought. They also tell us that our ever-changing climate is constantly pressing us to be clever with water management if we want to meet the needs, desires and development potential of demanding users. There seems little doubt that water extraction and harvesting for dry inland ap-

plications in productive areas of Australia, will, if it hasn’t already, start making its way to the front of a pressing-needs queue. The same as sourcing alternative fuel to power the wheels of society, we appear destined to need to develop technological knowhow to get most of the finite water available on the planet. We know scientific teams working on potentially game-changing recycling and water-purifying projects are ticking all sorts of boxes and that we might in the future be able to better tap into salty sea, ground or contaminated water. It is paramount more of these efforts, sooner rather than later, get out of the laboratories and into the real world. There is a touch of irony that yesterday was World Wetlands Day, which in the past placed a spotlight on long-dry Lake Albacutya. Many of us in the region would know that Lake Albacutya is listed internationally as a wetland of international significance – yet we would also know it is a wetland without any water.

Reassurance after extremist visit

olice are keen to assure Wimmera people, regardless of ethnicity, background or culture, that they can feel safe from intimidating or criminal activities involving extremist groups that might visit the region.

Wimmera Superintendent Ian Milner said authorities closely monitored the activities of groups such as neo-Nazis or white supremacists and were ready to respond to any illegal behaviour. Mr Milner made the comments while reflecting on community concern about a group publicly promoting white-supremist extreme views in Halls Gap last week. Regional and metropolitan media

outlets carried several stories and social media was abuzz about a rally of ‘20 to 30’ men who were visiting the Grampians. Mr Milner said police members had spoken to the group, which involved people from outside the Wimmera, and had determined nothing illegal was occurring. “The important message is that if anyone observes any unlawful behaviour, which includes prejudicerelated offences, they should contact police or in an emergency, triple zero, 000,” he said. “Obviously we are all about treating everyone fairly and equally and, accordingly, will respond to anything involving violence or unlawful be-

haviour. We want Wimmera communities to know they can feel safe and go about their daily lives without feeling intimidated.” Mr Milner also warned that people should always be wary of strangers promoting extremist views. “Although we have not been alerted to this on this occasion, extremist or radical groups have been known to try to recruit people from communities they visit,” he said. “We ask that people be aware of the potential of this. “Victoria Police is part of a broad effort in watching these types of groups closely. Rest assured that police Division Four, which includes much of the Wimmera, is included with the rest of

“The disturbing images that have come from the group in our region should not be taken lightly and I hope those responsible face consequences before the law for bringing this kind of hateful rhetoric to our beautiful region. “Northern Grampians Shire and our neighbouring shires are communities that pride ourselves on inclusivity and welcoming people from all over the world, no matter their race, ethnicity, nationality or background. “I say to those people that seek to come here with any attitude or behaviour that attempts to put others down or denigrate anyone – you are not welcome here.”

‘This is just getting ridiculous’ A Wimmera property owner has spoken out in frustration following a spate of thefts from farms in the region, including his own. Matt Beddison is missing gates from the front of his Wail property, stolen while he was on holidays with his family. He said his father noticed the theft during a visit to the property and reported it to police. “The gates have been on the farm for as long as we’ve had it – they’re part of the farm,” Mr Beddison said. “Someone obviously thought it was more important that they have them than the people who own them.” Mr Beddison said he soon discovered his was not the only property affected, citing the theft of two green ‘McKay’ gates from Woorak cemetery. “We discovered there was a spate of things on Facebook – we felt we might have been a victim to whoever is pinching the gates around the district at the moment,” he said. “It doesn’t really affect anything as far as the farm goes, it’s just a pain in the backside. “Our gates are Sunshine gates. They’re not heritage, but they are collectables. “We don’t look at it as a dollar value, but you start searching through Facebook Marketplace

Victoria when monitoring their whereabouts and activities. “We were quickly informed that a group was in the Grampians and responded to a report of a disturbance. “These groups come to our attention in our part of the state from time to time and communities can rest assured that police generally know where they are and what they’re doing.” Northern Grampians Shire mayor Murray Emerson, meanwhile, has condemned extremist groups ‘in no uncertain terms’. “Our shire, our region and our country are no place for hate, bigotry, or any ideology that seeks to divide our people or sow hatred in our communities,” he said.

and you see $500, $600, $800 for a gate and you start to think. Our gates will probably pop up on a buy, swap and sell page. “It’s not just an inconvenience, it’s gotten to the stage where you start getting angry about it.” Mr Beddison said he was frustrated some people thought it was okay to help themselves to other people’s property. “The bit that got under my skin, we had all our tools stolen out of our toolbox with our contracting business, up when everything was happening around Warracknabeal,” he said. “And then Dad found the gates missing – this is just getting ridiculous.” Mr Beddison encouraged people to remain vigilant although he conceded ‘I don’t think there’s too much you can do about it’. “You can try to make people aware of what’s going on, but you can’t watch every square inch of your farm either,” he said. • Victoria Police has established a dedicated farm crime-prevention unit in response to an increase in crime on agricultural properties. People can report incidents or information anonymously to Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or contact their nearest police station. – Sarah Matthews

The long-established and award-winning committee has a new chairman in former municipal officer David Eltringham and is looking for more volunteer members. Mr Eltringham takes on the position following the resignation of Gillian Vanderwaal, who had been chair since the 2015 death of Keep Australia Beautiful life member Don Johns. New committee member Mary-Jean Kerr will be deputy chair. Mr Eltringham said Mrs Vanderwaal had continued the legacy of Mr Johns, who had been the ‘engine’ in leading Horsham to become a Tidy Towns icon and winning awards including Australia’s Tidiest Town in 2001. “Under Gillian’s leadership, Horsham has gone on to be the winner of state awards in 2015 and 2016. She will remain a member of the committee,” he said. “The new committee has challenges of membership, implementation of projects and declining community understanding of the objectives of Keep Australia Beautiful, KAB, and Keep Victoria Beautiful, KVB.” Mr Eltringham said with changes submitted to a charter by the committee for approval by Horsham Rural City Council, the new committee hoped to attract new volunteer membership. He said the committee also wanted to be more proactive and able to implement programs that enhanced Horsham’s lifestyle and clean and tidy environment. “We welcome ideas and offers for inclusion on the committee,” he said. Horsham has direct link to the Keep Australia Beautiful movement.

Glider pilots reach for Wimmera sky L

BY DEAN LAWSON

eading Australian glider pilots will again chase thermals across the vast expanse of the Wimmera plains this month as they gather to compete in the 55th Horsham Week competition.

Thermals are columns of rising warm air that help provide gliding enthusiasts with lift and extended time in the sky and the Wimmera is renowned for often providing ideal conditions. Horsham Flying Club is again hosting the event, which started at Horsham aerodrome on Saturday with Victorian Soaring Association cross-country coaching and will gather momentum with intense competition starting on Saturday. Horsham Flying Club president Arnold Niewand said the event, which has been running continuously since it started, had all but filled its maximum entry of 40. “We’ve had an excellent response. There’s been considerable interest in Horsham Week this year, mainly because of lack of flying opportunities across Australia. Many gliding competitions have been cancelled,” he said. “We will run the competition differently

this year due to COVID-19 restrictions and regulations, but that won’t affect the competition. “We’ve been fortunate. We were able to run Horsham Week last year before COVID-19 kicked in and circumstances have now given us an opportunity to run it again. We don’t have to break with tradition.” Horsham Week involves circuit racing based on set courses across the Wimmera-Mallee and pilots either racing against the clock or each other. Racing is a general test of endurance and skill involving the various elements soaring across distance in changeable weather conditions. Pilots must adapt their flying techniques to meet various challenges. Niewand said the Wimmera had produced good gliding conditions leading up to the start of February. “Pilots have been achieving some long distances with several being close to 1000 kilometres. Being able to read the weather conditions at the time is a key element of this type of racing,” he said. Horsham Week, which attracts pilots from across Australia, will run until February 13.

Pop-up cafés to prompt conversation Pop-up cafés in West Wimmera municipality will be used to promote council community support services this month. Council’s community support team will host a series of café sessions at various locations across the shire to provide residents an opportunity to be face-to-face with staff ‘over a cuppa’. Mayor Bruce Meyer said café sessions were a way of promoting the council’s community support in a casual and comfortable setting. “The best way to know what someone needs is to have a face-to-face conversation with them, and how lovely to be able to do this in a café setting,” he said. “Engaging with our community is essential in all areas of council, particularly in community support where often we are assisting vulnerable members and dealing with complex needs. Cr Meyer said information collected from the sessions would be used to inform future planning for community support in the shire. “This is an opportunity for an exchange of information between council and the community, which will address any existing or new needs of residents and also inform future planning for our community support team,” he said. The support team will launch a new take-home handbook outlining the council services on offer to residents during the information-sharing sessions. Staff are eager to collect this information either verbally or via an online survey accessible from devices supplied at the café. Pop-up café sessions will be every Friday in February at the following locations: • Edenhope, new library foyer, February 5, 10am to noon. • Kaniva, Heart Felt Café, February 12, 10am to noon. • Goroke, Goroke Community Health Centre, February 19, 10.30am to 12.30pm. • Harrow, Harrow Bush Nursing Centre, February 19, 2pm to 4pm. • Apsley, RSL Hall, February 26, 10.30am to 12.30pm. Complimentary tea, coffee and other refreshments will be supplied. To help with catering requirements or for further information residents can call Marli Clark or Kaye Robinson on 13 99 72.

Off-leash dog park Ararat residents will soon be able to walk their furry friends in a central place after works started on an off-leash dog park in the rural city. Ararat Rural City Council is expanding an Ararat Active Corridor to provide a place for people to exercise, socialise, skate and play with their pets. The project is expected to be completed early this year, depending on weather and COVID-19 restrictions. The project was made possible through a Victorian government grant of $85,000 from the Suburban Parks Program.

Reservoirs miss out BY DEAN LAWSON

ater-supply managers are lamenting a lack of run-off into Grampians storages despite heavy rain falling across the Wimmera last week.

Water is flowing strongly through Wimmera and Avon river systems as a result of the rain, but the heaviest falls missed most key reservoir-catchment areas. GWMWater storage manager Kym Wilson said a weather system that brought heavy rain to the region on Thursday and Friday last week, tended to push around the eastern side of the Grampians. He said that meant most of the rain, which in some areas measured about 100 millimetres and saturated parts of the region, missed much of the reservoir catchment. “We got some but not as much as we would have liked. We didn’t see enough to see a good response from the catchment or good inflows,” he said. “What happened really depended on where the rain fell. “Wimmera and Avon river catchments had good flows, but the central and western Grampians didn’t see high rain totals. “Lake Wartook recorded about 20 millimetres, yet across the mountains to the east at Lake Bellfield it had 66mm. “There wasn’t much at Moora Moora or even Rocklands.” Mr Wilson said latest figures

today were likely to show a slight increase from rain in some reservoirs or a decrease in others based on extraction for supply use. “Wednesday last week the storages were sitting mid-range at 34.6 percent, similar to where we were last year,” he said. Mr Wilson said the hope was for better run-off results leading into colder months beyond April, a time that represented a traditional period for water catchment. “It’s always a case of wait and see,” he said. “We always monitor weather bureau forecasts and outlooks, but until we see rain on the ground we never know what will eventuate.”

Green Lake

The rain and flowing water down the Wimmera River has prompted many central Wimmera people to call for more water for popular Green Lake on the Western Highway, southeast of Horsham. Mr Wilson said he understood community anxiety about water availability for some lakes including Green Lake, formerly part of the storage system and now a recreation lake, only filled when surplus supply was available. “Green Lake can really only pick up water from its own catchment or during wetter periods and from a particularly wet Lake Wartook when we can divert surface flows,” he said.

“But this hasn’t been the case of late. “All the water in the reservoirs is allocated for use by someone via formal entitlements. “If we take water from somewhere else in the system for Green Lake we’re taking away water security a from another user. “When we get to where there are lower volumes in storage it becomes a trade-off where water is held to maximise supply security.” Mr Wilson said a list of recreation lakes and weir pools in the Mallee, unlike Green Lake, received piped water as part of a business-case commitment involving construction of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline. He said Green Lake was different in being historically part of the reservoir system used in managing regional water supply. He said the lake was taken out of the supply network and reinstated in a 2014 review to receive relatively low-quality or surplus water when available. “The water minister is really the only authority who can change water rights,” he said. “Those rights are usually very firm and not something that regularly change.” Another way water beyond surplus supply could flow into Green Lake is if an entitlement holder sold or donated part or all of their allocation.

EXPAND AND IMPROVE: Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline, with Cheeky Fox Cafe’s Sandra Kitchen, is encouraging hospitality businesses to apply for financial support to invest in permanent outdoor infrastructure. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Support for outdoor dining Horsham Rural City Council is offering financial support for hospitality businesses to invest in permanent outdoor dining infrastructure. Permanent infrastructure might include tables, bench seats, Perspex wind barriers, umbrellas, planter boxes, heating and awnings. Mayor Robyn Gulline said the new offer, separate from COVID support offered to businesses last year, was designed to activate streetscapes and support hospitality and food operators. “It presents an opportunity to expand and improve outdoor dining across our municipality,” she said. A State Government grant will cover design and construction costs and participating

businesses must maintain the infrastructure, which will be set out in footpath-trading agreements. “Being able to dine outside will be key to economic recovery. It’s about working with businesses to try to provide that important flexibility as we transition to a ‘COVID normal’,” Cr Gulline said. “Each business is going to be different because they each have different requirements and space that’s available. “We encourage businesses to first make contact with our business support team and then submit an obligation-free proposal.” Online applications are available on the council’s website, www.hrcc.vic.gov.au/ Business/Funding-for-outdoor-dining.

arriambiack Shire Council has its sights set on attracting money for two major projects from the latest round of a Federal Government grants program.

The council will seek $575,000 from the government’s Building Better Regions Fund for a ‘Wandering Warracknabeal’ project, which involves upgrading the town’s showground, caravan park and visitor information centre. Councillors have also listed a project to build a new general store in Beulah, agreeing at their latest meeting to seek an additional $125,000. Mayor Graeme Massey said the Warracknabeal project involved introducing a free camping area at the showground, visitor information centre upgrades and building a new amenities block at the caravan park. He said improving facilities was critical for Warracknabeal to attract more tourism as visitor numbers increased across western Victoria. “The caravan park managers have identified a need for the amenities facility as part of a Tourism Trail Revitalisation Plan,” he said. “We’re hoping increased tourism in the area will link to expansion in amenities we can provide.” Cr Massey said the hope was that facility upgrades would result in travellers returning to Warracknabeal and staying in the region longer. “If we have people coming to our area, we need to have our cafés, restaurants and accommodation open and be able to provide facilities and information,” he said. “We would expect it would make Warracknabeal more of a stopover place for tourists.” Beulah community group Beulah Co-operative

Graeme Massey Limited has estimated the town’s general store project would cost $250,000. The supermarket would replace an interim store the group established to replace one that burned down in 2019. The co-operative has raised $50,000 in donations for its supermarket project and believes it can raise a further $50,000 in selling shares. Cr Massey said the council had donated land and would provide $25,000 for the project. He said he hoped the co-operative’s plans would meet Federal Government grant criteria to fully fund the project. “We believe it’s an extremely well planned-out project for a small town,” he said. “It’s a great example of a community banding together after difficult times.”

Deacon commits to laps BY DYLAN DE JONG

orsham swimmer Deacon Briggs is confident he will smash his goal to swim 32 kilometres in 30 days for charity. Deacon, 16, has competed in

regional and state-level swimming events for many years and will use his talent to raise money for children in need. The Horsham St Brigid’s College year-11 student will complete a Starlight Super Swim challenge, which encourages professional and casual swimmers to set themselves a target and swim the distance between January 26 and February 24. Money raised through the fundraiser goes to vulnerable children. Deacon set himself a target of $2000 and said he would swim an extra kilometre for each additional $100 raised. “I set a $2000 goal, but I’m hoping to go past that and raise as much as I can,” he said. Deacon said he was determined to raise awareness as well as money to help people in need. “Through swimming I’ve met a lot of sick kids and kids with disabilities,” he said. “It really opened up my eyes to what’s going on around me and how fortunate I am. “I thought it was a really good way to generate more awareness around the cause and help people out first-hand.” Between schoolwork, Deacon normally finds time to squeeze in two training sessions a day, swim-

pics – that is really something I’m striving for. “It’s something I think about every day when I’m training.” Deacon said his love of swimming started at a young age. “I have loved all sports for as long as I can remember and really got into swimming about seven years ago,” he said.

“I’ve swam at Horsham for the past three years and now swim for a club at Ballarat, just to take it that step further.” Deacon will look to compete in a Swimming Victoria state championship competition later this year after completing the challenge.

Charlie calls time after 68 years W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera musician Charlie McCuish believes dedication, comradeship and an overall love for music are fundamental to his almost 70-year commitment to playing the tuba.

The Natimuk Brass Band member marched with the band for the last time on Australia Day this year, retiring his double b flat bass tuba after 68 years. Mr McCuish, 83, said he was just 14 when he first heard the sound of brass band members marching down the main street, which instantly had him ‘captivated’. “The sound got to me. I thought it sounded really good and it got me interested,” he said. “I remember the bandmaster approached and asked if I wanted to have lessons. “I’ve always been fairly musical and had an interest in classical music, but the music the brass band was playing was something I’d never heard before – I was amazed.” Mr McCuish said late bandmaster Bill Schmidt, who reformed the band in 1947 post-Second World War, taught him the foundations of playing the brass instrument. “Bill played cornet in the band before the war and came out of the ranks as a musician who was willing to have a go at teaching,”

he said. “He taught dozens and dozens of kids how to play.” Mr McCuish, who grew up in Natimuk, played with many brass bands across the region including Horsham, Stawell, Nhill and Dimboola. “I had the opportunity to play in the Stawell City Brass Band, which was a big experience after coming from a smaller rural town,” he said. “It has been a great experience to play with all the different bands across the Wimmera. “They are all very good bands and I’ve made some great friends.” Mr McCuish said the friendships he formed during this time was the most memorable part of his music career. “It’s a fairly long time when you look back at those 68 years,” he said. “The music is the main point of being part of a band, but there’s far more to it for me – the comradeship, the friends and the memories you make over the years. “You’ve also got to be dedicated just like with anything, whether it’s a hobby or sport. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in the bands and met a lot of good people, gained a lot of experience, had good times – a few sad times – but mainly good.”

“The music is the main point of being part of a band, but there’s far more to it for me – the comradeship, the friends and the memories you make over the years” – Charlie McCuish, left

Ararat municipal leaders are confident the rural city’s economy is showing ‘incredible resilience’ to the COIVD-19 pandemic as office and retail occupancy rates rise. Findings from a council occupancy survey revealed an uplift in business confidence despite the pandemic, with vacancy rates lower than a year ago. The survey showed occupancy rates had risen to 94 percent while vacancy rates had dropped to 5.9 percent. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the survey results were a reflection of the community’s commitment to work together and support businesses. “It’s extremely pleasing to be part of a community that has taken this issue seriously, not only to protect the health of each of those around us, but also to back our community and livelihoods,” he said. “While we’ve seen Melbourne’s retail sector in freefall, Ararat’s central business district is growing with businesses emerging and expanding.” Asian grocery store House of Nai is among businesses benefitting from high occupancy rates. Business owners Craig and Nai Otte identified an opportunity to open the store in Ararat late last year, recognising Ararat’s increasing inclusiveness and cultural diversity. Mr Otte said the ‘massive’ demand for cultural produce in Ararat, which included speciality Asian goods from Japan, Taiwan and India, came as a surprise when they opened. “In the space of a couple of months, customer demand to order in specialised products and produce meant we outgrew the store and quickly realised we needed more shelf and storage space,’ he said. “With more than 2000 products on offer, we found a retail space triple the size of the original store and decided to expand. “We are overwhelmed and grateful for the local community’s support. We even have customers

travelling from Stawell, Beaufort and Warrnambool to visit our shop.” Mr Otte said opening a business was a major challenge during the pandemic. “For those exploring the idea of opening their own business, I would recommend doing your research. Evaluate costs associated with the retail space, transportation and customer demand,” he said. “The team at council has been phenomenal. From the very start they supported our vision and guided us along the journey in ensuring our business was compliant and had a COVID-safe plan before opening.” Dr Harrison said improved occupancy rates combined with increased interest from people wanting to move to the region was an indication Ararat was on the path to socio-economic recovery from the pandemic. “This business growth has helped underpin a falling local unemployment rate to 4.19 percent and a booming real estate market, further demonstrating that Ararat is open for business,” he said. “We identified early on during the pandemic there was an accelerated shift of people from metropolitan Melbourne, which would rapidly increase migration to the regions.” Dr Harrison said the municipality’s ability to attract investors to build ‘defining’ projects was also contributing to the city’s growth. “The partnership with Federation University Australia to deliver the Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct is a great example of a commitment to transform and grow the local economy,” he said. “We’re bringing together research excellence and our local industries to drive innovation and build the future economy. “Council is also committed to improving our recreation, tourism and cultural opportunities, unlocking access to technology advancements, as well as attracting investment to construct much-needed new housing.”

Upgrade critical for producers A

rarat municipal leaders expect a road reconstruction project will be a major benefit for farmers moving their produce to markets.

A $558,000 Federal Government grant to upgrade Darlington-Carranballac Road, part of a Roads to Recovery program, will allow work to start on installation of table drainage for a 1.2-kilometre section of road through Pura Pura. Existing culvert crossings will also be replaced as part of the project. Ararat Rural City mayor Jo Armstrong said the condition of the existing road surface was a point of frustration for many residents and truck drivers. “First and last-mile freight routes are vital to support our local agriculture industry, which relies on them every day to move large volumes of freight,” she said. “The money from the Australian government is critical in allowing council to create better connections for locals and industry, as well as providing important economic opportunities for our region.”

“This will allow for easier two-way traffic and cope with the pressures caused by heavy vehicle traffic during the harvest season”

– Tim Harrison

Cr Armstrong said the existing road was about five meters wide and deteriorated from years of heavy vehicles using the road throughout the grain-harvest season. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the redeveloped road would be more than a metre wider than before and have a deeper road base. “This will allow for easier two-way traffic and cope with the pressures caused by heavy vehicle traffic during the harvest season,” he said. Dr Harrison said works would be completed in coming months and residents could expect minor delays. “Local road users eager to have the reconstruction completed have been very welcoming to our construction team,” he said.

NEW HORIZONS: Dimboola Memorial Secondary College captains Macey Laverty and Jack Kalms. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Leaders hoping for ‘normality’ Dimboola Memorial Secondary College school leaders are hopeful the return to school life this year will be without major interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Macey Laverty and Jack Kalms are the college’s 2021 school captains. Jack said he hoped he could achieve more in his role compared with last year’s captains who battled through remote and flexible learning. “Hopefully we will have a better year. Last year was really tough on all of us not being at school,” he said.

“Unlike last year’s school captains, we can hopefully do a lot more because sadly, they couldn’t. “It’s important that we can embrace the time we have at the school and get as much done as possible.” Macey said she was keen to participate in school activities such as sport carnivals that were largely called off last year. “I’m looking forward to the sport and athletic days where we can dress up and have a bit of fun,” she said.

Mental-health system ‘broken’

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has used a national report to illustrate pressing issues surrounding mental-health care across Victoria.

Ms Kealy, the Liberal-National’s representative for mental health, said the Federal Government Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services showed Victorians seeking mental-health care were waiting longer for fewer services. Ms Kealy outlined details of the report amid a pressing mental-health issue continuing to affect the lives of people across the Wimmera-Mallee. She said statistics showed specialised mental-health units were down from 47.5 beds per 100,000 people when the LiberalNationals were in government, to 44.6 per 100,000. “The report also shows how the number of community-based residential units has declined over the same period,” she said. “The report highlighted alarming statistics

related to youth mental health. Almost one in four Victorians under the age of 18 admitted to hospital for mental-health reasons are being readmitted within 28 days of discharge. This compared with a 12.7 percent readmission rate in New South Wales. “These statistics illustrate how crucial it is that Victorians can access specialised care when they need it and are then well-supported upon returning to their communities. “Heartbreakingly, the report shows how desperately over-represented rural and regional areas are in suicide rates. These areas account for less than a quarter of the state’s population, yet one third of deaths by suicide were in rural and regional areas.” The final report from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System is due next week. “Labor has no excuse to make Victorians wait a day longer for the long overdue reform of our broken mental-health system,” Ms Kealy said.

Reserve to honour Jack Schier Horsham Rural City Council will rename a reserve in the city’s south after a community figure. Councillors voted a section of Burnt Creek, along Mardon Drive, will honour late Horsham man Jack Schier, who died in 2014. Horsham residents Graham and Julet Schultz requested the name change in August last year. Mrs Schultz said Mr Schier contributed ‘generously’ to his community. Mr Schier and his wife moved to Horsham in 1974 with their adopted son.

A lack of services to cater for their son’s disability prompted the family to donate 40 acres of their own land to develop Karkana Day Centre, which Mr Schier had a strong interest in until his death. He was involved in Horsham’s Pleasant Creek Training Centre and Stawell Special Development School and financially assisted Sunnyside Lutheran Rest Home. He was also a major contributor to a public appeal to build Matron Arthur House Nursing Home, which opened at Wimmera Base Hospital in 1987.

IMAGINATION: Ararat Regional Library Storytime presenters Grant Thomas and Kylee Whiting are looking forward to welcoming families to their 2021 sessions.

Storytime returns to Ararat Ararat Regional Library will resume its face-to-face literacy program for children across the municipality tomorrow. Library staff are working under a ‘strong’ COVIDsafe plan to ensure the wellbeing of its visitors and staff at the centre of its activities. Library team leader Ashlee McKinnis said staff were excited to see a return of the library’s Storytime sessions after the summer holiday period. “Our first Storytime session for the year will include a picture book titled ‘The Whales on the Bus’ by Katrina Charman,” she said. “Each week, we carefully select a picture book with good rhyme, rhythm and repetition that appeals to young children. Storytelling combined with song helps children stay engaged and get excited about reading from an early age.”

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was ‘thrilled’ to welcome back families to the library for its popular storytime sessions. “Grant Thomas from Ararat Regional Library presents the Storytime program in a fun way to introduce young ones to the joys of reading, stories and song,” he said. “Our library helps bring young children, parents, grandparents and their carers together to read, listen and better connect with the community.” The literacy program will run each Thursday at 11am. Storytime places are limited to 20 children at a time. People can call the library on 5352 1722 for more information.

Regulators are ‘top notch’ A

BY DEAN LAWSON

former Wimmera doctor involved in international efforts to develop COVID-19 vaccines has urged people to consider Australia’s regulating reputation when considering having a vaccine.

Dr Robert Grenfell, CSIRO health and biosecurity director, said Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration, TGA, was among the most comprehensive regulators in the world and any vaccine had to pass a rigorous and in-depth assessment process. “It has one of the most thorough of all international regulating systems and works not just on trial and clinical evidence but on far more detailed assessments based in real-world data. The information they have at their disposal is far greater than reported in the media and in medical journals,” he said. “All Australians should be aware of just how good the regulating system we have in place is when making a decision about having a vaccine. “It is something everyone should ultimately consider when trying to wade through the cloud of information, especially when it also involves international politics.” Dr Grenfell, who grew up in Horsham and ran a general practice at Natimuk for 13 years, said he understood the uneasiness people might feel about the international roll-out of vaccines, developed at break-neck pace to combat the profound impact of COVID-19. “There is much discussion about various aspects of the vaccines such as efficacy, but what is most important at the moment is to understand the intention of the immunisation program at the moment is to save lives,” he said. “Efficacy is what’s done in a controlled study

to see if the vaccine works. But the important attribute of a vaccine is its effectiveness – does it help people? “All vaccines going for approval in Australia have demonstrated that they reduce the chances of severe disease. “People need to understand we are only a cough and a sneeze away from another breakout and why vaccine uptake is another important step to controlling the virus as well as the public health measures we’ve all been taking.”

Multi-vaccine use

As part of a multi-vaccine-use approach, the TGA has provisionally approved a Pfizer vaccine for use in Australia and is still assessing an Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, earmarked for most of the Australian community. It has spent months assessing the vaccine manufactured in the United States of America and Europe to ensure it met high safety, efficacy and quality standards. The first stage of a community roll-out of the vaccine is scheduled to start in late February or early March and start with 80,000 injections a week. The vaccine is not mandatory. Member for Mallee Anne Webster’s call last week for people across the Wimmera-Mallee to vaccinate against COVID-19 generated a mixed community response. Many respondents to the story on social media were fiercely opposed to having the vaccine. Member for Wannon Dan Tehan said news of TGA’s provisional approval for the Pfizer vaccine last week added further confidence to Australia’s vaccine strategy. The Wimmera historically has one of the highest uptakes of childhood vaccinations in Victoria.

ket due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Auxiliary president Ruth Gellert said the organisation took into account the risks to community, stallholders and volunteers when making the

decision. She said the 2022 Willaura market was scheduled for March 6 and the auxiliary looked forward to welcoming stallholders and patrons back next year.

Students keen to give back Three Deakin University students will learn the finer points of rural medicine – and perhaps consider a career in country practice – through a 12-month placement in Horsham. Pia Herrera and Yacoub Jayoghli have joined Lister House Medical Clinic, with Angela Bell now part of the Read Street clinic team. The students are in the third year of a four-year post-graduate Doctor of Medicine degree and relocated to the Wimmera last month as part of a Deakin University Rural Community Clinical School program. The ‘innovative educational program’ involves learning via an apprenticeship model under the supervision of a general practitioner. The students will participate in a range of clinical activities, such as general practice consulting, maternity unit, theatre, specialist consulting sessions and community health activities. Mr Jayoghli, who has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne, said

the program was progressing well so far. “One thing we’ve immediately noticed in Horsham is that everyone is very welcoming and inviting of us as medical students,” he said. “Everyone is very open to having us involved in their care. I think that’s a perfect opportunity for us to gain a lot of skills and become the best doctors that we aspire to be.” Ms Herrera has a Bachelor of Biomedicine from the University of Melbourne. Originally from Chile, she hopes to stay in Australia. “I really, really love Australia,” she said. “I’d like to specialise in something – I still have different ideas, I’m not too settled on anything yet.” The clinical school aims to encourage students to work in rural communities after graduation. Ms Herrera said she hoped to combine metropolitan and rural practice. “I think that’s a really good way to give back,” she said. Ms Bell, who hails from the

She previously studied a Bachelor of Nursing Science at James Cook University, Townsville, and has worked as a theatre nurse for the past five years. “I’m still open to consider different things but I think I will probably end up in critical care – I’m really interested in theatre or ED or ICU,” she said. “I would like to continue working with my masters, which is focused on infectious diseases. So, moving forward I’d like to work with patients in critical care but also be working in research.” Mr Jayoghli said he would like to pursue interests in paediatrics, surgery and women’s health. “Even if I am based in the city where my family is, it would definitely be great to do outreach work in different areas.

NO CHARGE Australian start-up Linga Network to roll out 100 free-to-use EV charging stations, the first switched on in Hindmarsh Shire last week

ictoria’s electric vehicle infrastructure is set to be given a boost in coming months with the roll-out of 100 free-to-use regional charging stations across the state.

Orchestrated by Australian start-up Linga Network, the first stations were switched on last week in Hindmarsh Shire in the north-west of the state, with the remaining 98 to be installed and live by mid-year. With the infrastructure costs covered directly by manufacturers, it is then down to participating local councils to determine and provide the exact charger location as well as cover the installation costs. Linga Network stated the charging

locations were determined by community need rather than financial return, with no two chargers being more than 100 kilometres apart. Designed to simultaneously boost tourism as well as reduce range anxiety among EV owners, the chargers themselves will deliver about 20 percent of charge an hour, allowing motorists enough time to look around, explore and support local businesses while they wait. Linga Network founder and chief executive Adrian Kinderis said until now, charging locations for EVs had been confined to cities and a small number of major travel routes such as Sydney to Melbourne. “The market has been largely domi-

nated by private enterprises that operate with disparate and confusing payment systems,” he said. “Linga Network’s goal is to break down yet another digital divide for regional Australians. “We’re overcoming the major infrastructure roadblock to electric vehicle ownership – charge anxiety – while supporting regional communities through tourism, economic activity and a boost to their sustainability credentials.” There are also plans to expand the program to a national level once the Victorian roll-out is complete, however no set timeline of events has been released yet in this context, with Linga Network quite content to see how

things go at a state level first. As such, it was no coincidence that Nhill and Rainbow in Hindmarsh Shire were selected as the first locations to receive a charger, given both are more than four hours’ drive from the Melbourne CBD. Hindmarsh Shire Council mayor Ron Ismay said the initiative had the potential to ‘change the face of tourism in regional town centres’ and it was an exciting time for the shire. “We have a proud history of innovation through agriculture and more recently in our sustainable practices,” he said. “Not only does participation in this program make sense for our local economies, it will play an important

role in bridging the divide between metropolitan and regional Victoria and unifying our state. “It also gives all Victorians a great way to reduce their impact on the environment. “We encourage our colleagues in other councils across Australia to follow our lead.” There were 1769 new EVs purchased Australia-wide last year, 246 more than the 1523 sold in 2019, up 16.2 percent, with more and more manufacturers across all segments joining the EV market as global emission restrictions become ever-tighter. – Callum Hunter

Mini facelifts hatch and convertible oinciding with the 20th anniversary of Mini’s BMWbacked relaunch, the iconic small-car brand has revealed and detailed its 2021 hatch and convertible range, with all versions being treated to a comprehensive overhaul for the new year.

Due to arrive in Australia in the second half of the year, the new hatch and convertible range not only flaunts some updated styling and a refreshed interior but some chassis refinements too, specifically in relation to the adaptive damping. No changes have been made un-

der the bonnet of any variant, with all three of the familiar turbocharged three and four-cylinder engines set to be carried over unchanged – 100kW220Nm in the Cooper, 141kW-280Nm in the Cooper S and 170kW-320Nm in the JCW. Mini has always prided itself on the design of its cars and so it has been sure to make the latest versions of its most stylish offerings distinguishable from the last; adding a contrasting black trim piece around the front grille and replacing the foglights on the Cooper S variants with new air intakes. It is a similar story at the back, with

a bold new trim piece either skirting or spanning the rear apron depending on the variant. Mini design boss Oliver Heilmer said the new Mini design was more modern, fresher and clearer. “All innovations follow a common mission: Purify Mini! Less complexity, more individuality,” he said. Adding to the new look will be an optional ‘multitone roof’ for the hatches, which uses a Spray Tech paint finish to layer and stagger various colours – San Marino Blue through to Pearly Aqua and Jet Black – along the roof with no two vehicles being the same due to the natural

variation in the process. Three new colours will also be added to the body palette – Rooftop Grey metallic, Island Blue metallic and Zesty Yellow – while the alloy wheel range has also been updated. Inside the cabin, the interior has been given a freshen up with some new upholstery colours and patterns, while many of the chrome trim pieces have been swapped out for black ones. There is also a new 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system now free of the previous model’s underlining row of buttons. Drivers now score the 5.0-inch digi-

Christian Devotions

You have absolute control!

This thought-provoking statement leads me to respond with a profound question: If I have absolute control, what is it over? Let us explore the word Attitude, as I propose that the one thing we each have absolute control over, is our Attitude. Our Attitude is formulated from our thoughts, our feelings and emotions and ultimately results in our behaviour, how we act and react. Attitude is not passive it exerts a dynamic influence on behaviour (Allport 1935). Get this and it will change your life. Mahatma Gandhi proclaims – “Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour. Keep your behaviour positive because your behaviour becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny”. There is a lot of truth to this statement which can basically be summed up by the one word, ATTITUDE. It is our attitude that defines us. Our attitude to people, products, organisations situations, to basically anything in life, that determines how we respond, how we act, how we deal with disappointments and heartache and how motivated we are to keep on keeping on. In the Bible we are encouraged to let God’s character, His love, His peace, His power and His goodness flow from us to others. If we have an attitude of dependence on God, and allow His Life within us to change us to be more like Him, we will not only be empowered to change our attitudes but we will desire to change. Irene Gould, Pastor Stawell Baptist Church

Wimmera footballers in Rebels squad

ive Wimmera-Mallee footballers are among a Greater Western Victoria Rebels squad preparing for the start of the 2021 NAB League Girls season.

Ella Friend and Ella Caris, Horsham Saints, Crystal Summers, Stawell, Dimboola’s Stephanie Glover, Horsham Demons, and Harrow-Balmoral’s

Jorja Jones, East Point Dragons, will launch their campaign against Geelong Falcons on Sunday. Rebels head coach David Loader said the 35-member squad featured a majority of players from last year’s season, which was interrupted due to COVID-19. “I’m really excited to see how our girls develop throughout the 2021

NAB League season. The level of improvement already during the short period we have been training has impressed myself and our other coaching staff,” he said. He said the squad had come together under match play conditions in recent weeks and participated in a NAB League Girls testing day with ‘pleasing’ results.

The NAB League Girls competition launched in 2017 as a five-game season and has expanded to nine games in 2021. Three 2020 team members were drafted to the AFLW at the end of last year, including Horsham Saints’ Maggie Caris and Stawell’s Isabella Simmons, both picked up by Melbourne.

Girls cricket Wimmera Girls Cricket League has welcomed a new team as players prepare to contest a new block of competition. Swan Hill-based Murray Downs Diamonds will make its league debut against Wimmera Roos on Sunday. The newcomer will have an opportunity to test its mettle against the 2020 premiers at Central Park, Stawell. The remaining fixtures will also be played at Central Park. Horsham Sixers will meet Wimmera Mallee Belles, while Stawell Strikers will go head-to-head with Horsham Hurricanes. Block two comprises five rounds, with round two to be contested at Horsham’s Dudley Cornell Park, round three at various Swan Hill grounds, round four at Dimboola Recreation Reserve and round five at Donald Recreation Reserve.

Renee Saulitis made her AFLW debut with St Kilda at the weekend. “It’s exciting for the GWV Rebels but more importantly for female football across western Victoria, which is seeing fantastic growth,” Loader said. The Rebels will take on the Falcons at Deakin University at 11am.

Redbacks to play on home court

COUNTING DOWN: Ararat swimmer Marissa Flavell will look to a competition in her home town after racing in a Wimmera District 12 swim meet at Horsham War Memorial Swimming Pool at the weekend. Marissa was among dozens of regional competitors to take part in an annual Stingray Classic event. This weekend’s Ararat event is the third-last competition before regional championships later this month. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Ararat Redbacks will welcome spectators for their first home game of the 2021 Country Basketball League season on Saturday night. Ararat’s men’s team will go head-tohead with Bellarine Storm at Ararat Fitness Centre at 7pm. The Redbacks are undefeated in the modified south-west conference season, triumphing in round one and then defeating Warrnambool Seahawks on Saturday, 66-57. Zac Dunmore starred with a 25-point, game-high performance, with team-mates Ethan Fiegert, 13, and William Hynes, 10, also reaching double figures.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Pomonal shines in upset victory BY ONE SHORT

omonal claimed its best and most important win for many seasons in Grampians Cricket Association on Saturday when it defeated Swifts-Great Western.

The win propelled the Tigers into the four at the expense of St Andrews, who fell to Youth Club in a game owned by Nic Baird. Batting first, in a match moved to Stawell’s North Park, the Tigers recorded a season high 4-184 with a major contribution from opener Clayton Mackley, 70. In reply, the Combine quickly fell to 6-44 before the tail added 90 runs led by Tom Fitzgerald, 29. Surprisingly no bowler took more than two wickets on the day. In Ararat, Youth Club invited St Andrews to bat and thanks to Paul Menzies, 36, James Hosking, 38 not out, and Aidan Moar, 20, reached 9-144. Best of the Clubbers’ bowlers were Matt Healy and Cam Kimber with three wickets each. It was the Baird show when the Clubbers took to the crease. He scored an unbeaten 107 in the Clubber’s 3-145. On Australia Day, Swifts-Great Western travelled to Warrnambool for the second day of the SunGold T20 Cup. Despite high hopes of success, Pigeon Ponds dashed the Combine’s hopes in a semi-final

when it was dismissed for a mere 30 runs in 10.3 overs. To rub salt into the wound, Pigeon Ponds was not the eventual winner. Woodford from Warrnambool Cricket Association won the title. In this weekend’s domestic cricket, St Andrews returns to Alexandra Oval in Ararat to take on the shaken Swifts-Great Western side, while Youth Club attempts to climb the ladder against Buangor-Tatyoon at Central Park, Stawell. Pomonal has the bye. The Saints would be hoping to emulate Pomonal’s victory over the Combine and keep in touch with the four, while the Combine needs to keep in touch with top team Buangor-Tatyoon, so there is plenty at stake in these matches. The Saints just missed out last week and will look to a similar score from batsmen Paul Menzies, James Hosking, Aidan Moar and just a few more from Adam Haslett and Sam Summers to put pressure on the Combine batsmen, who appear brittle at the moment. Youth Club, third, takes on Buangor-Tatyoon, first, in a match that will determine both their futures. Buangor-Tatyoon will look to maintain its top spot, while the Clubbers would like to cement their position in the four. It is obvious the Clubbers’ Baird will hold the key to this match as he leads the scoring for his side by a country mile, so the Hawks bowlers will have to find a way to tame him.

Long-awaited return of radio show Sports fans across the Wimmera can expect to see a return of a weekly radio show covering all the latest in community-level sport, starting this weekend. Horsham’s Brian ‘Cobber’ Cassidy and Grant Kuchel will host ‘The Shirtfront’ on ACE Radio Broadcasters’ radio station 1089 3WM on Saturday morning. The presenters will be discussing Wimmera-Mallee football, netball and cricket and greyhound and horse racing. Mr Kuchel said he was excited to return to the mic after a year-long break from radio

due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented many community-level sports going ahead in 2020. “It will be good to get back into it. People will get to listen to local sport on a local radio station again,” he said. “I know Cobber is keen as mustard too – he’s jumping out of his skin with excitement.” The pair will also focus on covering Wimmera and Horsham District football and netball competitions, which are set to kick off in early April. Mr Kuchel said all eyes would be on 2019 football premiership winner Minyip-Mur-

toa in Wimmera league while Harrow-Balmoral would be the team to beat in the Horsham District league in 2021. “These teams are head and shoulders above the other teams – after that, the teams will be very competitive,” he said. “But I think even after a long break, players will crack straight back into it because they’re keen to go and would have trained and played a couple of practice games.” Fans can tune into The Shirtfront from 8am each Saturday.

Tigers continue winning form J

BY DEAN LAWSON

EFFORT: Jung Tigers seamer Daniel Garner puts his shoulder behind a delivery in a Horsham Cricket Association B Grade match against Homers at Horsham City Oval. Garner snared 3-10 but his team, unlike the Tigers’ A Grade counterparts, went down to its opponents. Umpire Tony Wills is also pictured. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

ung Tigers have used a T20 series to stake a claim for an overall Horsham Cricket Association finals berth.

But the Tigers, sitting third after a dramatic last-over victory in a clash with West Wimmera on Saturday, have far from shored up their position and must continue winning to match competition pacesetters. Horsham T20 matches conclude on Friday and Saturday and the Tigers, who lead a T20 ladder, will face an acid test against a strong and rebounding Noradjuha-Toolondo. The Tigers set up victory at Nhill’s Davis Park after restricting West Wimmera to 7-101, medium-pacer Codi Kenny shining with 4-19. The Tigers initially attempted to carefully whittle away at the target but needed to come home with a flurry, Tyler Puls, unbeaten on 34, ultimately leading the team to victory. Jung Tigers now meet a NoradjuhaToolondo team that would have finished licking the wounds from a loss to Homers and be ready to meet its opponent at Horsham City Oval. The Bullants appeared all over Homers last weekend, at one stage having them 4-16, but an unbeaten 37 to Paddy Mills and 31 and 21 to Craig Britten and Jarred Combe respectively

allowed the Pigeons to reach 6-107. Homers then prevented the Bullants from gaining traction in the chase, Simon Hopper 3-12, Chaminda Gamage and Jarred Combe conspiring to restrict Noradjuha-Toolondo to 8-77. Rupanyup-Minyip might have fallen off the pace in pursuing a place in the finals had it failed to overcome Horsham Saints. But the Blue Panthers, with

Daniel Schaper continuing good form with 78 not out, Jake Leith making 46, and Adam Carter 32 not out and a score of 2-176 was too good for the young Saints, 4-95. Rupanyup-Minyip is sitting fifth, outside the top four by percentage, and would have sights on beating Homers in a Friday evening game at Horsham City Oval.

West Wimmera has also suddenly appeared vulnerable in fourth place and will try to use the Saints as a stepping stone back up the list. The Westerners were missing a couple of key players last week, but Travis Polkinghorne and Tim Braendler, both 26, spent time at the crease and Austin and Henry Smith had success with the ball.

The Saints had Matt Currill, 30, Cory Smith, 32, and Jason Harris, 20 not out, getting runs last week and while having little success this season have a team good enough to be a giant-killer in the run to the finals. This week: T20, 6.30pm, Friday at Horsham City Oval, Homers v Rupanyup-Minyip, Saturday 4pm, Horsham Saints v West Wimmera; 6pm, Jung Tigers v Noradjuha-Toolondo, Horsham City Oval. Last week: T20, Homers 6-107 (P. Mills 37no, C Britten 31) d Noradjuha-Toolondo 8-77 (S. Hopper 3-12), Rupanyup-Minyip 2-176 (D. Schaper 78no, J. Leith 46, A. Carter 32no) d Horsham Saints 4-95 (C. Smith 32, M. Currill 30), Jung Tigers 6-104 (T. Puls 34no) d West Wimmera 7-101 (T. Polkinghorne 26, T. Braendler 26no; C. Kenny 4-19). Ladders – Overall: Noradjuha-Toolondo 42 points, 1.05 percent; Homers 39, 1.61; Jung Tigers 36, 0.97; West Wimmera 30, 1.20; Rupanyup-Minyip 30, 1.10; Horsham Saints 0, 0.38. T20: Jung Tigers 18, 1.36; Homers 12, 1.99; Noradjuha-Toolondo 12, 0.78; Rupanyup-Minyip 6, 1.08; West Wimmera 6, 0.96; Horsham Saints 0, 0.38.

Phantoms in action V

BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham members will have one final chance to impress, when Victorian Volleyball League powerhouse club Phantoms returns to Horsham on Saturday for its second and final selection trial.

Male and female volleyballers will be coming from across western Victoria for the trial and following the success of a first trial in Ballarat last weekend, the club is looking to put competitive teams into a newlook state league season in 2021. Coaches were ‘pleasantly surprised’ with the standard of performance at Ballarat, with many players in good touch considering the amount of time away from the game. Experienced Volleyball Horsham member Kara Johnson said watching the match play of both groups, the standard of play was quite high and very competitive, especially with the girls. “There was Cleo Baker, Laelah Robertson, Tamikah Dockrill and I trialing, and those younger members were very impressive,” she said. “We expect Emily Hannan and Hannah Whyte to attend this week, which would be a good representation from Volleyball Horsham.”

On the men’s side there were 13 apologies from the trial, with the majority of those top-end talent, which will make for an interesting Horsham trial. In returning to premier men’s coaching I’m looking forward to the challenge, especially with such a young and enthusiastic group coming up through the ranks, many of whom have played national juniors and been members of Australian youth teams. The men are yet to make the finals in the premier division and I thought it was time I give something back to the men after four years with the women’s program. Volleyball Horsham men that trialed included Nathan Berry, Jack Hannan, Chris Radford, Matthew Berry and Cam Robinson. Matthew Berry is very fit and his setting consistent, while Nathan, Jack, Cam and Chris were stand outs throughout, especially in match play. All coaches are excited for the season ahead for the players and the club.

Domestic competition

That excitement will carry through to the Volleyball Horsham domestic competition, which is now calling for entries for a summer season starting on February 22 for C, womengirls and junior grades and February 24 for A and B grades.

Volleyball Horsham vice-president Vaughn Maroske said if the inquiry level translated into participation the competition would be ‘looking alright’. “We chose to give ourselves a little bit more time to get started compared with most sports, as that time gives schools a better chance of encouraging participation from students and teachers, which is where we draw a greater percentage of our members from,” he said. “But we encourage new participants to the sport, as our greatest point of difference, especially for the younger members, is that they can get a group of friends together and play as a team. “We also have five grades of competition ranging from A Grade for the serious competitor to juniors. “Also, we cater for mixed teams in all grades without restrictions, which is great for friendship groups as well. “As an association we’re excited for the year ahead, especially being a country championships hosting year.” Teams or individuals interested in participating in the Volleyball Horsham summer season should complete a registration form on the association website and forward it to info@volleyballhorsham.com. au.

Horsham owner-trainer-driver Aaron Dunn with Bondi Lockdown

Second victory for Dunn Dreams came true for Horsham ownertrainer-driver Aaron Dunn who snapped up a second group-one harness win. Dunn had success when Bondi Lockdown won Victorian Harness Racing Club’s Caduceus Classic. The reinsman was beaming post-race after his lightly raced three-year-old upstaged short-priced favourite and leader Patsbeachstorm in the $100,000 feature. It was 6770 days since Dee Dees Dream delivered Dunn and his father, Barry, a Vicbred Super Series two-year-old title. “It’s nearly 20 years since I’ve driven a group-one winner, at least now it’s not a fluke – I’ve got two,” Dunn said. Bondi Lockdown brought up the third win of his nine-start career, more than compensating for the $20,000 Dunn paid at the 2019 Australian Pacing Gold sale for the Carl Reinedhr-bred colt, by

Somebeachsomewhere out of Without Guile, making him a half to Rocknroll Eyes – $162,252. All went perfectly for the winner, with Bondi Lockdown starting from gate three and when Helluva galloped from leaders’ back Dunn was able to snag from the oneone to the pegs to trail the short-priced favourite. From there it was smooth sailing as Patsbeachstorm and his trainer-driver David Moran controlled proceedings, with a 31.5-second quarter setting up a sprint to the finish. While all others lost touch, Bondi Lockdown showed elite pace, running past the leader in a 26.4-second last quarter to score by 2.6 metres, with Patsbeachstorm a clear second and Platinum Stride 13 metres back in third. – Michael Howard, Harness Racing Victoria

Drung unbeaten H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Lawn enjoyed a good tussle with Drung South as Central Wimmera Tennis Association action resumed at the weekend, but the competition’s premier outfit still managed to come out on top.

Players contested plenty of close rubbers throughout the day, including several 8-6 and 8-7 outcomes, with the undefeated ladder leader triumphing 7-76 to 5-65. Only Kate-Lyn Perkin, Drung, and Graeme Wood, Lawn, managed to win all three of their rubbers for the day. Second-placed Lawn will meet St Michaels this week on the Saints’ home turf. The Saints are coming off a loss to Kalkee, which had plenty of guns firing to retain third spot, 8-85 to 4-4. Grant and Steve Schultz started Kalkee off on a strong note with an 8-4 win over experienced duo Ian Nitschke and Peter Hayes, but the St Mick’s veterans got their own back later in the day.

Cricketers impress Wimmera Mallee Cricket Association players have featured prominently in a Western Waves under-21 inter-regional match. Captain Isaac McPherson from Kellalac-Sheep Hills, 67, St Arnaud opening bowler Harley Durward, 3-24, and Donald spinner Harry Cashin, 3-25 and 41, all performed strongly in a Victorian Country Cricket League under-21 championship clash at Carisbrook. The Waves, washed out in a first-round game against Murray Mallee in November, successfully navigated a target of 191 for victory against Northern Rivers Gold. The win meant the team finished in second place behind Barwon in the western section of the championship. Barwon and Gippsland will contest the final on February 14.

Kee Paula Weidermann, playing as number-one lady, enjoyed three wins for the day, including a tiebreaker alongside Simone O’Brien. Lawn’s Chris Ellis almost achieved the same feat, but lost a singles contest to Jordan Friberg, also in a tiebreaker. The Kees will be too strong for Homers on Saturday, with the bottom side enduring a tough campaign. Central Park enjoyed its second win of the season against Homers in round 12, winning 9-84 to 3-60. Two of Homers’ three rubbers were won in women’s singles matches, with Ebony Hobbs defeating Sharon Clough 8-1 and Nicole Zweck-Penhall too strong for Blair Penrose, 8-5. All Central Park players contributed to the win, with Ross McIntyre and Rebecca Clough finishing the day undefeated. The team will find the going a lot tougher this week when it meets Drung South in an away game. Ladder: Drung South 48 points, Horsham Lawn 30, Kalkee 28, St Michaels 22, Central Park 10, Homers 6.

Junior entries strong Young tennis players have until Friday to register for the first of two Wimmera Regional Tennis junior points tournaments, on Sunday. Horsham Lawn Tennis Club has experienced an influx of entries, with 75 players already signed up to contest singles and doubles events. Club vice-president and tournament co-ordinator Brett Thompson said he expected entries would continue to roll in. “I suspect we’ll have more than 100 players by Sunday,” he said. “There’s a lot of interest this year because it’s the first tournament of the season. There is usually a tournament before Christmas but because of COVID we weren’t able to have one. “I think people are really happy to be back out on the court. “There’s also a bit of added interest because not all kids get to play on lawn all the time.” Boys and girls will compete in four age groups, 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under and 15 and over. Doubles will be played in a round-robin format, with knock-out singles competitions.

Wednesday, February 3, 2021

Mr Thompson said the club would adhere to COVID-19 regulations and spectators were welcome to attend the day. Play starts at 8.30am. Junior points tournaments link the Wimmera into Tennis Victoria’s statewide player development pathway and help with selection of regional teams. Wimmera Regional Tennis leaders usually organise about four tournaments a season, but due to COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty, only two will go ahead in 2020-21. Stawell Tennis Club will host the second tournament, on February 21. People can call Mr Thompson on 0417 347 246 or email brett.thompson8@bigpond.com to enter Sunday’s tournament at Horsham Lawn. Entries for the Stawell points tournament close on February 19 and can be made online at docs.google. c o m / f o r m s / d / e / 1 FA I p Q L S fx0PKJj2BY7lwwilf9lgq-AFJUsC8I3u4C Mgu3G3WFbyEnSA/viewform?usp=sf_link. – Sarah Matthews
