Be vigilant, be kind BY SARAH MATTHEWS

s a former aerobics champion, long-time personal trainer, mother, wife and volunteer, Amanda Wik was used to being in control.

She juggled her responsibilities, managed her commitments with precision and of course, was fighting fit. Then she found a lump the size of a pea in her right breast and suddenly, she was not in control of anything. While trying to secure a doctor’s appointment, and soon after, a mammogram, Amanda kept telling herself everything would be fine. “I was terrified, but I kept telling myself it would be fine and it was just a lump,” she said. It wasn’t. Amanda was diagnosed with two types of breast cancer on November 9, 2018. The cancer was stage one, grade three and grew in a week between two sets of biopsies. The cancer was aggressive and so was Amanda’s treatment regime. “I had a lot of tests, some of them not so nice – I found biopsies quite terrifying,” she said. “Some of the tests are mind-blowing and you still don’t know what’s going on. “I had to go into a zone to get through it. But after the diagnosis, that’s when the whirlwind really started.” On November 30, Amanda had surgery to remove the cancer and reconstruct her breast. “I went to plastic surgeon Derek Neoh and breast surgeon Elaine Bevington, in Melbourne,” she said. “I had decided to reconstruct, so I was cut more than 180 degrees around my tummy and tissue was taken out to reconstruct my breast. “It was scary and it hurt like hell. “But I only have a small cut in the side of my breast and everyone says you can’t even tell I’ve had surgery. They did an amazing job.” Then came the treatment. “I had a port put in, which was another horrendous experience, because

everything is out of your comfort zone and out of your control,” she said. “I liked to maintain control of my life and I had to let everything go. “I had to let the people around me and my specialists care for me and do what I needed to do to get through it.” On January 9, Amanda started the first of three courses of chemotherapy, every three weeks for three months. “I had to be hospitalised because I was so sick, 24-7,” she said. “By the end, they had to knock me out with drugs.” After that, she started a weekly stint of chemotherapy for 12 weeks. “The first one was a nasty one. The 12-week one, they say a lot of people don’t get through it, but I managed to get through it with minimal side effects,” Amanda said.

“I also started Herceptin, which is a 12-month treatment every three weeks. They were all at Epworth in Geelong.” Amanda said she chose to have her treatment in Geelong to be close to her daughters, Rebecca, 25, and Meghan, 21. “The cancer centre here wasn’t up and running and my girls had a rental house there and could take me to treatments and look after me while Stephen was back in Horsham working,” she said. “After treatment we would go to the beach. I was all covered up in towels and umbrellas because I had to avoid the sun, but I could just watch my family swim, or just sit there and take in the ocean breeze. It was lovely.”

Amanda Wik

Amanda said despite her positive outcome, the treatment phase was ‘also horrendous’. “It’s hard for me to believe I’ve actually done it and been through it,” she said. “I am a totally different person now. I see things differently. My body is not my body and I have had to learn how to be a different version of me.” Cancer also takes a toll on mental health and Amanda still sees a psychologist. “I’m not afraid to admit that, because it really plays on your mind,” she said. “Some days I have good days and then other days, I get caught up wondering if it’s going to come back – or when it’s going to come back, be-

cause they’re the ones you hear stories about.” Amanda’s oncologist has declared her ‘cancer free’. “He doesn’t call it remission, he says, ‘until we know otherwise, you’re cancer free’,” she said. “Remission makes it sound like it’s coming back. You’re just in a holding pattern.” Throughout the process, Amanda chose to have genetic testing. “I was thinking about my girls and what the future for them is,” she said. “But the results came back to say I was a really, really low risk. The girls just might have to start some mammograms earlier.” Amanda said one of the main drivers behind sharing her story was raising

awareness of the importance of selfchecking. She said it was also vital for women to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. “Before all this, I thought the only sign of breast cancer was a lump in the breast,” she said. “But I had other signs and symptoms, such as discharge from the nipple and an itchy nipple, but I didn’t know they were signs. “There are probably eight or 10 symptoms, which a lot of people wouldn’t even realise, because we just think it’s a lump.” Amanda said she put her symptoms down to hormones until a chance encounter with a potential client.

Water plan part of larger venture T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he developer of a proposed waste-water farm at Quantong has revealed the project is part of a broader agricultural vision for the site that includes establishing a large-scale native cut-flower operation.

Water Sustainability Farm director and agricultural entrepreneur Peter Blair said evaporation dams were part of a multi-use plan that represented a value-adding expansion to farm-business operations. He said he had been exploring a multi-staged cut-flower project for the site for about three years and plans were to run operations in conjunction with the water-management project. “The waste-water farm is primarily designed for evaporation, but the idea is to incorporate it with other agricultural pursuits such as growing seaweed as a high-value cattle supplement,” he said. Mr Blair revealed plans for the venture while outlining details regarding a Water Sustainability Farm proposal that involves the development of four evaporation basins and a drying pad at the Quantong site. The basin and pad’s

primary role would be to provide Australian Plant Proteins somewhere to truck waste water and compost from its production site at Horsham Enterprise Estate. The move has attracted concern from some Quantong residents worried about what the site might represent in relation to the environment, property values, lifestyle and the future of farm and tourism business opportunities. But Mr Blair, who joined Australian Plant Proteins director Phil McFarlane presenting the waste-water farm concept at an online community information session last week, said maintaining the environmental and social integrity of the site were a priority. “I’m not one to denigrate value of the area – on the contrary. I want to see that area grow and prosper,” he said. “Constantly monitoring conditions is going to be at the forefront of what we do, which includes beautifying the area and upgrading the whole block. “We have draft plans in for the cut-flower operation and hope to start that pretty soon. We certainly don’t want to be affecting anything from an environmental perspective. And hopefully with what we’re doing will come a few more jobs.”

Mr Blair and Mr McFarlane are confident they have solutions to appease some of the major concerns aired at the community information session. Mr McFarlane said Quantong residents had raised valid issues, which had triggered a re-examination of operational plans. He said people had highlighted truck traffic and road access as a major concern, which he believed could be easily resolved, and an exploration was now underway to find an alternative disposal plan for dewatered sludge compost. “I understood some of the concerns. I too would have concerns if odour was an issue. But we believe there will be no odour. We’re very confident we have covered all the bases in relation to environmental and social needs for this project to proceed,” he said. Mr McFarlane stressed that Australian Plant Proteins had to pursue independent water treatment and recycling for the multi-million-dollar venture to succeed and would follow regulatory direction. “We put in our original application with the EPA in February and expect to know more by the end of next month,” he said.

Wimmera CMA

Wimmera catchment leaders, meanwhile, are confident they can help find a ‘workable solution’ for the efficient disposal of the saline waste water. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said his organisation needed to further assess project details before providing direction and-or making any recommendations. “The million-dollar question is whether Quantong or somewhere else provides the most appropriate site for a water-treatment dam of this type,” he said. Mr Brennan said as a statutory referral body, Wimmera CMA had requested further information from Environment Protection Authority about the design, construction and management of the facility. “What we want to ensure is that there is not going to be any detrimental effects of adjoining vegetation and the nearby Wimmera River and how this water might interact with a potential flood,” he said. “It is all about ensuring everything happens in a sustainable, considered manner.

“One of the reasons the authority exists is to ensure economic development can occur with a balance that considers both environmental and social impact. “I’m sure we can work towards an ultimate solution, but need more information to be confident.”

Mayor

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said Horsham Rural City Council needed to wait until the completion of all regulatory assessments before taking any position. “The council’s job is to balance the needs of both residents and business and investors – not just in this case, but in many things we do. There are often contrary and conflicting points of view where the interests of different groups collide,” she said. “It’s about finding a balance where everyone compromises a little bit to get the best outcomes for all concerned. We don’t want a situation where if something gets all too hard investors pack up and go elsewhere. “Investment is so important to the future prospects of our community, but we also don’t want it to be detrimental. Again, it’s all about balance.”

Be vigilant, be kind... a message for all From page 1 “My grandmother passed away and I felt like she was my guiding angel, who sent someone to me to make me realise I needed to do something for myself,” Amanda said. “A potential client came to me, who had breast cancer. She told me her story, which was really quite heavy on my shoulders. “It made me think, I need to be more vigilant for myself.” Amanda met the client on a Thursday. Two days later, while she was preparing to go to a schoolaerobics competition, she thought she would just ‘have a check’. “There was a lump,” she said. “I feel like my grandmother sent this lady to me. The lady had told me she wasn’t going to come, she was too nervous to exercise again, but something just brought her to me. “That’s how the journey started.” Amanda said she had talked to her daughters about self-breast checks and had encouraged other women to talk about it among themselves. “For older women, breast cancer can occur between mammograms – it’s something women should be doing on the first day of every month,” she said. “Early detection makes all the differ-

ence. Everyone has said because I got it so early, it’s a good outcome. “Having the fitness behind me and being as healthy as I was really helped me get through. I’m nowhere near any sort of fitness at the moment – I’m nowhere near where I was. “I’m also on a tablet a day for another three years, which isn’t very nice on your body. “But I’m just chipping away at it and trying to be kind to myself. It’s hard to be what I was to what I am now – it’s definitely a battle. “But I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped me – my husband, daughters, family, friends and medical staff.” Amanda has returned to work as a personal trainer, part time. She also hopes to resume coaching schoolaerobics teams at Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College, which she has done for the past 10 years. “When I was sick, I had to drop everything – that was really hard for me,” she said. “Coaching and the gym, that was my life. Telling those girls was so tough.” Amanda did, however, manage to coach student Jaya Meadows to a national schoolareobics title. “We did it through Facetime from

Geelong and that little girl worked extremely hard,” she said. “She was the glue that held me together at times, because she gave me something else to think about. She was a little gem and it was wonderful for me to be able to do that.” In the lead-up to Mother’s Day on Sunday, Amanda is counting her blessings. “I could not have got through this without my daughters and my husband, Stephen,” she said. “For something that was so devastating and scary and out of control, I feel I’ve been very lucky and blessed the way that it’s all gone. “I’ve met some amazing people and I am so lucky to have such wonderful support from my family, friends and the community. “I feel very well looked after, very well cared for and loved.” Amanda said cancer had changed her perspective on life. “I try to be a glass half full-person now rather than half empty, I like to see the positives and enjoy things,” she said. “You just don’t know how quickly things can be taken away from you.” • For more on Mother’s Day, see pages 24-25.

PUBLIC NOTICES 5 May 2021

Community Grants announced Horsham Rural City Council is providing community organisations with $440,527 in funding as part of its annual Community Grants and Donations Program.

Each year HRCC allocates funding to support community and sporting groups as part of its budget process. In 2021, there has been an additional $50,000 allocated from Council’s COVID support package from last year’s budget. This has meant more funds available to support groups such as sports clubs, halls, kindergartens to assist with their maintenance and facility improvements as well as grants for specific projects and events. Additionally, Council has allocated donations which support the operations

of recreation reserves, public halls, kindergartens and welfare services.

Council received 73 community grant applications for specific projects with 77% of the total dollar requests funded. Mayor Robyn Gulline said the high percentage of community grants funded indicated the importance of the program within the community.

“Council recognises that these grants are a way of supporting not-for-profit community groups and organisations that are still finding their feet following a really tough 12 months,” she said.

C O U N C I L EXPENDITURE F O R E V E R Y

S P E N T

“I look forward to seeing the successful projects coming to fruition over the next 12 months and we plan to share some of these good news stories with our community,” Cr Gulline said.

“The local expenditure resulting from this Council support will provide an important economic stimulus for our community as we continue to rebound from COVID-19,” Cr Gulline said.

B U D G E T SNAPSHOT

Cr Gulline said it was exciting to have a wide range of projects and events in this year’s applications.

GET INVOLVED: NATIONAL RECONCILATION WEEK 2021

The Wimmera’s young people are being encouraged to show their hands in the lead up to National Reconciliation Week from Thursday 27 May until Monday 3 June.

Kids can grab a craft pack and decorate a paper hand with supplied pencils to have their artwork feature in a large-scale display at Horsham Town Hall and Art Gallery. The coloured hands idea supports the broader NRW theme for 2021 which is #More than a word. Packs are available at Bunnings, Horsham Regional Art Gallery and Kalkee Road Children’s Hub.

When residents were asked what they love, a number of popular responses emerged. These include the country-town feel and relaxed lifestyle as well as the good facilities and open spaces. When residents were asked to think about what needs to be improved between now and 2041, many have mentioned better roads and transport. Using the river to its full potential has been another talking point and so has retaining Horsham’s country town feel. These are just a few of the recurring themes that have come up. In a few weeks, we will start working with a 40-person Community Panel which has the job of ensuring that the community’s views are collated into the final Community Vision of how we want to be in 2041. In the meantime, please head to the Council website and dream big, get talking and share your ideas. No matter who you are or where you're from, if you live, work or visit the municipality we want to hear from you. Horsham Rural City

‘We are in a privileged position’ BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera Vaccination Clinic leaders are expecting an influx of bookings now Australians 50 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Lister House Clinic staff have been running the vaccination clinic out of Up Tempo Café in Dimboola Road, Horsham since March. Lister House chief executive Amanda Wilson said the clinic had vaccinated more than 2000 people in the past two and a half weeks. “It’s going really well,” she said. “We’ve had a great uptake, which is good, although there was a bit of a slow down when the government commented about the AstraZeneca vaccine. “We’re hoping to get our numbers back up – our doors are open, ready to go.” The clinic started its 2a roll-out phase on Monday. The phase includes adults 50 years and older, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults aged 18 to 49, and other critical and high-risk workers. “People with chronic health conditions can get vaccinated as well, provided they meet eligibility requirements,” Mrs Wilson said. “The government has appointed us as a hub for the whole region and we are getting between 400 and 600 vaccines a week; GPs are getting about 50 a week. “So come and get them.” The vaccination clinic is open from 9.30am to 1pm on Mondays, Tuesdays

and Thursdays and from 4pm to 6pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. Hours are subject to change depending on demand. “If we start to see the appointments fill up, we open up more,” Mrs Wilson said. “We are adjusting our hours to suit our demographic. “We decided to do Friday nights because some people were worried about getting sick and having to take time of work. They’d rather have any symptoms over their weekend. “Statistics say 50 percent of people get some kind of symptom. Pain at the injection site and headaches are included as symptoms.” Mrs Wilson said concern over the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clotting – and the government recommending the Pfizer vaccine for adults younger than 50 – had resulted in people asking more questions. “People under 50 with health issues, such as diabetes, have to weigh up the risk ratio with their health professional – do they get it now or do they wait?” she said. “We will get the Pfizer vaccine at some stage, because we are the Federal Government-appointed vaccination hub. But the issue is getting it into the country. “While a lot of people have been asking questions, most of them are saying they don’t care about the symptoms, they just want it done and they hope everyone else does the same.” Mrs Wilson said anyone with questions or concerns about the vaccine could make an appointment. “They don’t have to have the vaccina-

tion, they can just ask questions – we have information brochures – and make up their mind as to whether they want it or not,” she said. “They can go away and think about it.” Mrs Wilson encouraged Wimmera-Mallee residents to remember how lucky they were to live in Australia, particularly in light of what was happening in India. India is reporting more than 300,000 COVID-19 infections a day, with the country’s total cases about 20-million. “We are in a privileged position – we have vaccines and we have people who can give them,” Mrs Wilson said. “It’s not a matter of if COVID gets here, it’s when, because we can’t shut down forever. “Please, keep turning up and keep getting vaccinated.” People can book an appointment online at www.hotdoc.com.au/medical-centres/horsham-VIC-3400/wimmeravaccination-clinic/doctors or by calling Lister House Clinic on 5382 0011. “If people are having trouble making an appointment they can just show up and we will slot them into an available time,” Mrs Wilson said.

The power of mum A

mid all the anxiety surrounding everything involving COVID-19, such as the vaccination roll-out and latest travel bans and lockdowns, is a rapidly evolving socioeconomic landscape reflective of society trying to emerge from a pandemic.

Everything seems to be happening or not happening – all at the same time. Time for a breather? Perhaps a short one! One opportunity to pull into one of the crucial wayside stops of life will present itself on Sunday with the arrival of Mother’s Day. A tokenistic occasion? Perhaps for some, but certainly not for others and why not pause for a moment, especially after a tough 12 or so months, to celebrate our mums? Sure we’d like to say we rejoice in our mums every day, but life has countless distractions and Mother’s Day, perhaps more than anything, provides us with an annual reminder to avoid taking them for granted. Those of us lucky enough to have loving mums or other maternal figures, or supporting parents or guardians overall for that matter, can consider themselves blessed. Some people don’t have mums, dads or either. Some don’t have that intimate family member they have grown up with to share something private, to lean on for support or to draw encouragement and direction. That’s when mates become a crucial fall-back. If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is that bonds generated through family support have never been more important. And

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

in many cases it has been mums, in some form, generation or other, that have provided a rock of solidarity that has kept people together. The term ‘mum’ can mean different things to different people or families. ‘Mum’ might be your mother, step-mother, grandma, great grandma or mother to your children. They can also be, importantly, that person who is so close, important and nurturing that they might as well be your mum. We should never discount the power and strength of the connective bonds in society associated with and fostered by motherhood, in its various forms. It is hard to measure something so profound as the ‘power of mum’, but make no mistake, it is a powerful and important force that shapes most people and cultures on the planet. Sunday is for all mums but it is noteworthy that Mother’s Day is singular term. That means as well as a collective celebration, it is reflective of personalised recognition for individuals. It means celebrating my mum for me, your mum for you. Let’s make an effort to celebrate our mums this weekend.

SPLASH OF FUN: Stawell West Primary School added a bit of fun to its annual cross country, incorporating a ‘colour run’ with the event. Stawell police and community joined in the action at North Park. Grade three student Tarnesha gets doused in colour along the route.

Food-business opportunity T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he potential of food-industry businesses and agricultural value-adding in the Wimmera and southern Mallee provided the backbone of a Regional Leaders Breakfast in Horsham.

Regional Development Australia chairman Stuart Benjamin and Barry McGookin of Food Innovation Australia painted a picture of opportunity during the gathering at Horsham Angling Club rooms. Attendees, including budding regional food-business entrepreneurs and regional municipal and agency leaders heard about collaborative programs and how the region could capitalise on its strong agricultural position to generate growth. Wimmera Development Association organised the event in its role as the peak advocacy body promoting growth across much of the region. Mr Benjamin used the occasion to press home compelling figures that revealed how the Wimmera and southern Mallee was missing out on value-adding opportunities to process food crops the region grew. “We effectively help feed the state, country and the world,” he said. “We’ve become very good at producing large amounts of raw products and have some of the best farmers in the world. Yet we’re not taking advantage to add value to that before it leaves the region. “We do a lot of exporting and might make $2000 a tonne. But somebody else turns that $2000 into $10,000. “Our region should be creating that value, but at the moment we add only one percent of

value to what leaves the farm gate. Based on the current trajectory for the Wimmera and southern Mallee, during the next 30 years our GDP per head of population is set to drop. Yet metropolitan Melbourne is set to increase by 50 percent. “If we want to have a lifestyle that is suitable for future generations we need to reverse this trend and the way we do that is by creating wealth in our own region instead of exporting it elsewhere.”

Mr Benjamin said pulse-protein-power firm Australian Plant Proteins in Horsham was an example of how the industry needed to expand. “The reality is, I would like to see 50 similar operations spread right across the region and located in every small town,” he said. “APP is providing an example of a start-fromscratch trailblazing scenario. “Through the process there has been an identification of shortcomings as well as opportunities and we need to get ahead of all of this to make sure development can happen as quickly, efficiently and seamlessly as possible. “We need to take control of our own future.” Mr McGookin spoke on the partnership between Food Innovation Australia, Wimmera Development Association and Beanstalk Ag as part of a pilot food-innovation program called Seeds of Growth. The program is designed to equip participants with skills to transform ideas into revenue-generating businesses. Participants in the program are involved in a broad range of emerging food businesses across the region.

Horsham, Natimuk and Warracknabeal agricultural societies are among successful recipients of an Agricultural and Pastoral Society Grants 2020-21 program. Nationals Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said each of the grants, which are able to fund up to 90 percent of the total project cost, would be used by the show societies to upgrade existing facilities at their showgrounds. Horsham Agricultural Society will use $9270 to upgrade its fleece pavilion; Natimuk A & P Society will receive $10,000 to install new fencing around its arena; Warracknabeal A & P Society, $810 to upgrade flowing in its poultry pavilion; Donald P & A Society, $10,000 for the provision of a lighting and power upgrade; Charlton A & P Society, $7146 to upgrade viewing stands; and Coleraine A & P Society, $8887 to upgrade its lunch hall. “This funding will help our hard-working agricultural societies convert their fabulous ideas into reality,” Ms Kealy said. “Rural show days provide a boost to local economies and an opportunity for people to come together, while at the same time showcasing the area’s agriculture to both locals and visitors alike. “We all know how important our agricultural shows are to our rural communities and this funding will help increase the vibrancy and prosperity of our local shows and country towns. “I congratulate and offer my full support to these fantastic local agricultural societies for initiatives and ongoing efforts to achieve this.”

Banking-alternatives call U

BY DEAN LAWSON

ncertainty surrounding banking services across the Wimmera and Western District has sparked discussions about trialling an approach in operation in New Zealand.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy said bank branch closures represented a major problem in regional areas and there was need for a solution to help people left feeling financially vulnerable. She said districts with a high percentage of elderly people unfamiliar and uncomfortable with or lacking confidence in making online transactions were at most risk. “There is a Banking Hubs trial underway in New Zealand, which involves a unique partnership between a collective of New Zealand banks providing basic on-location services,” she said. “This might provide a template for a regional Victorian pilot here in Lowan. “Whinging and going crook about

bank closures is one thing, the reality is that we need a solution. This might only represent a small offering, but at least it’s something that might work.” The New Zealand hub system involves a collaborative banks approach in providing basic banking services in regional communities. Hubs include a ‘Smart’ automatic teller machine, ATM, a support staff member or members and technological support. Each banking hub is designed to meet the needs of individual communities, providing different capabilities and services. Ms Kealy said while broad sections of the overall community had welcomed and adapted to online banking and billing services, physical banking remained the only way some members of the community could or would operate. “While advances in digital technology have opened up a new playing field for general banking, there are people who have maintained a resolute faith in the idea of only banking in their home towns or districts,” she said.

“Whinging and going crook about bank closures is one thing, the reality is that we need a solution”

“This is a crucial aspect of banking in the regions that is often overlooked. “Security is critical and we don’t want a situation where people are hoarding cash until they can make a trip to a larger centre to do their banking. “Of course the other danger is that people stop using banks altogether and hide their money in a mattress or a bury it in a tin box in the garden – disasters waiting to happen.” Ms Kealy said any investigation by the banking sector, such as exploring and assessing results from the New Zealand trial or other ideas would be welcome. “Closing bank branches in country towns without providing consideration to people who rely on physical interaction to communicate their banking can hit hard,” she said. “Banks can’t expect loyalty from country members when they don’t try to support them in keeping in touch with their money or to help them transition to a technology-based banking.”

– Emma Kealy

“Many are at an age where they have no interest in or ability to navigate computers, digital tablets or smart phones, at least without physical human help. “Considering the contribution this generation has made to society, when it comes to the security of their money, they shouldn’t really be forced to try to navigate something in which they lack confidence – especially when alternatives might be available.” Ms Kealy added that cash transactions remained a critical part of trading in both day-to-day business and community life. “Regional businesses and community organisations, like any others that have various ways to trade, need to be able to have cash floats and to physically be able to take money to and from banks daily,” she said.

FIVE-DAY forecast

TEST RUN: Work of First Nations artist Gail Harradine is projected onto Natimuk’s GrainCorp silos.

Improved mobile coverage a win Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has congratulated Halls Gap and Broughton communities on successful campaigns to improve mobile-telephone coverage. Ms Kealy has for many years supported a community lobby for improved mobile infrastructure to eliminate black spots and improve safety for residents. She said Telstra’s announcement that it would improve mobile coverage in the towns was testament to the communities tireless advocacy. “Better mobile telephone coverage for regional communities is vital to ensure the safety of these communities and to support local investment, create local jobs and build stronger regional communities,” she said. “We know of emergency situations where people have been unable to call for an ambulance east of Halls Gap at the Halls Gap Hotel because they don’t have phone signal. In one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state, that is simply not good enough.” State and federal governments will cofund the upgrade works in partnership with Telstra and NBN Co.

Natimuk silo projection night A test art projection at Natimuk GrainCorp silos on Saturday featured work by First Nations artists Gail Harradine and Tanisha Lovett. Natimuk arts organisation ACT Natimuk organised the projection night, which reflected work around family and ‘connection to place’. In the development of her work, Harradine worked with First Nations producer Savanna Kruger and family Elders. The test night was part of plans to develop a new pro-

jection residency idea, which might lead to Natimuk silos hosting regular artistic projections. The development process included providing an opportunity for the Natimuk community to view the projection and provide feedback on the idea, such as how often and for how long projections should run. ACT Natimuk general co-manager Hannah French said the concept was one her organisation would like to further develop in consultation

with the community. “We are certainly keen to hear what the Natimuk community thinks of the idea. Ideally it is a chance for Natimuk to attract visitors looking to experience silo art at night,” she said. “Natimuk artists have been experimenting with creatively responding to the silos for nearly 20 years, and we want to celebrate this legacy.” The projection test night also featured work developed at a community workshop last month.

‘Real-life stories of recovery’ “That’s what the podcast is all about – it’s about giving men, particularly regional men, some tips and tricks to help empower their wellbeing. I’ve had some great feedback about it already, along with a lot of phone calls – one person said listening to the podcast helped save his life”

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera yoga and meditation teacher and mentalhealth advocate Aaron Schultz hopes his latest project will help save lives.

Mr Schultz, who hails from Horsham and now lives on the Gold Coast, started The Outback Mind Podcast in January this year. The podcast involves people throughout regional Australia sharing their experiences with mental-health challenges and addictions. The interviewees tell of their experiences in their own words, explaining how through intervention they were able to ‘get help and get better’. Throughout the past three months, The Outback Mind Podcast has garnered more than 10,000 followers. “It’s going really well,” Mr Schultz said. “I want people to understand it’s okay to talk about what’s going on and to be able to learn from others’ experiences. “Growing up, I was trapped in a cycle of self-doubt. What I was experiencing was quite normal and I want to bring this stuff to the floor and help show people how to make changes in their lives. “That’s what the podcast is all about – it’s about giving men, particularly regional men, some tips and tricks to help empower their wellbeing. “I’ve had some great feedback about it already, along with a lot of phone calls – one person said listening to the podcast helped save his life.” Mr Schultz was born and bred in Horsham and moved back to the Wimmera a few years ago to teach yoga and meditation. He moved to the Gold Coast in February, where he also helps people with mental-health issues including anxiety and depression. Mr Schultz, who has experienced his own mental struggles, published a book about his experiences called ‘A wink from a Guru: How I reclaimed my life’ in 2019. The book features a forward from

former AFL footballer, coach and mental-health advocate Paul Roos. “It was Paul who actually suggested I give a podcast a go, and he said he’d come on it if I did it,” Mr Schultz said. “It all happened pretty quickly and has flowed on from there. “The idea is to share stories to empower men’s wellbeing throughout regional Australia. “It’s a great thing for guys on the tractor to listen to. “A lot of men find it hard to talk about their feelings and emotions, but they can listen. “I hope they learn it’s okay to talk about what’s going on in your life and be vulnerable.”

Wimmera identities

Along with Roos, the podcast features episodes with celebrities including musicians Pete Murray and Bob Evans, and former AFL footballers,

including Rupanyup farmer John Sudholz. Mr Sudholz is among several Wimmera-Mallee identities to feature. “John shares his heartfelt story of survival from severe mental-health challenges and the trials and tribula-

tions of living in a rural community,” Mr Schultz said. Gavin Morrow, who started advocacy group Healthy Minds Horsham more than a decade ago after becoming alarmed by the suicide rate in his home town of Warracknabeal, also

features in an episode, as does Matt De Gruchy, who discovered he was going to lose his vision and become blind at just nine years of age. Horsham’s Peter Both is the most recent Wimmera guest to feature. ‘Bikes before booze – the inspiring story of Peter Both’ describes Mr Both’s rough upbringing and emotional trauma, which for many years was masked by chronic alcohol and drug use. “After becoming a drug and alcohol practitioner in his 40s and still continuing to drink heavily on weekends, it took some courageous days of life-changing decisions that saw Peter quit the booze and turn to cycling, which has completely transformed his life,” Mr Schultz said. “It’s a really raw story. I’ve had a lot of feedback about it already.” The podcast features people from all walks of life and deals with a plethora of issues, from drug addiction and recovery to bipolar disorder. “The episodes contain real-life stories of recovery,” Mr Schultz said. “They enable people to learn from others who might have walked the same path – being open to learning about others can change your life.” Mr Schultz has several other episodes in the pipeline, including Wimmera-Mallee guests. The Outback Mind Podcast is available on Spotify, iTunes and Podbean. People can visit website outback mind.com.au or follow ‘Aaron Schultz Yoga’ on Facebook or Instagram for more information.

WINE AND GOOD TIMES: Grampians residents and visitors enjoyed warm conditions and spectacular scenery at a new food and wine event at Halls Gap. Grampians Wine Weekend, created to fill a void left by the cancellation of this year’s Grampians Grape Escape, created a platform for regional winemakers and producers to showcase their products. The weekend’s event attracted people from across the state, who made the most of a wine pop-up and barrique auction on Saturday. About 20 wineries were involved in the weekend – organised by Grampians Winemakers – offering wine tastings and sales by the glass. Regional cellar doors also hosted ‘special events’ throughout the two days. Pictured enjoying the festivities at Halls Gap are, clockwise from above: James and Maureen Brady from Mount Langi Ghiran Vineyard; Bellen Brosa with empanadas from Great Western Granary; Cardin Flaherty and Shaun Taylor try some Grampians Estate wine courtesy of Ange Turrell; Bree Harris, Becky McDougall and Catherine Bourizk; and Richard and Shanti Petronzio and their children Dante and April.

Project open to Grampians babies B

abies born at East Grampians Health Service in Ararat have an opportunity to be involved in an Australian-first project designed to ‘transform the health and wellbeing of an entire generation’.

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, MCRI, has launched an innovative GenV, Generation Victoria, research project, one of the world’s largest-ever birth and parent cohort studies. The community partnership project involves collecting an array of life-time health and development statistics for Victorian newborns to enable better prediction, prevention and treatment of child health, development and wellbeing problems. The opt-in project will follow babies and their parents to help solve problems such as asthma, food allergies, obesity and mental illness, primarily using data that is already routinely collected. GenV scientific director Professor Melissa Wake, a paediatrician for 30 years, said the project aimed to help create a happier and healthier future for many children and parents, by 2035. She said GenV was entering an important phase, upscaling to become available to all newborns and parents across Victoria by mid-2021. She said every family with a newborn baby would be able to join up over a two-year period, no matter where they lived. “By involving children and families in this once-in-a-generation initiative, GenV can help solve pressing problems like asthma, food allergies, obesity and mental illness,” she said. “In addition, we are seeking to address the inequities that face so many children and families across Victoria. Because GenV will be in every community, it may be especially helpful to the most vulnerable individuals and communities in

our state.” About 100 new jobs will be created in clinical settings across the state throughout the life of the GenV project. East Grampians Health Service joins other birthing hospitals across Victoria in offering regional families an opportunity to participate in GenV. Health service chief executive Andrew Freeman invited families in Ararat district to join the project. “Information will be available for families through their antenatal visits, whether that’s their GP or through their visits with our midwives,” he said. “GenV is a fantastic statewide project and is also a great opportunity to improve the health of our own Ararat community.” Professor Wake said large whole-of-state research projects such as GenV could speed up answers to the major issues facing children and adults, today and in the future. “GenV truly is a collaborative study and a partnership of many. We are profoundly grateful to the team at East Grampians Health Service for partnering with us,” she said. “Over the next two years, about 150,000 children born in Victoria and their parents will have the opportunity to participate in the project. “Put simply, by signing up to be a part of the GenV generation, parents will help to create a healthier future for all children and their families.” Royal Children’s Hospital and University of Melbourne are supporting the MCRI-led project, funded by Paul Ramsay Foundation, the State Government and Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation. People can visit website genv.org.au for more information about the project.

Rotary kits at pharmacies Rotary Club of Horsham East has urged people to make the most of 2021 bowel-scan kits it has provided to Horsham pharmacies. Club representative Chris O’Connor said a promotion would run until May 30. The club has provided the kits to Horsham’s Terry White,

Amcal and Priceline pharmacies, as well as Murtoa and Minyip pharmacies. They are available for purchase at $20. “The program is about early detection of bowel cancer and could save your life,” Mr O’Connor said. He said the Rotary project was designed to encourage peo-

ple who might have missed out in a national testing program or were not yet old enough to automatically qualify to receive a kit in the mail. “So this program can help fill in the gaps. It’s for anyone under 50 or for some reason has missed out on a testing opportunity,” he said.

Art is... dance challenge BY SARAH MATTHEWS

rt is… festival leaders have made a start on an innovative Wimmera Dance Challenge, a key aspect of this year’s festival program.

Festival manager Sarah Natali said a group of dancers spent Saturday performing a routine at Jubilee Hall in Horsham, which would form the basis of an ‘augmented reality’ project. “It went really well and we got some excellent footage,” she said. Zimbabwean dancer Gilbert Douglas choreographed the dance to be used throughout the challenge, ran workshops to learn the dance and led proceedings on Saturday. Ms Natali said footage of the dancers performing the African-inspired piece would be edited to create a tutorial, which would form the basis of the challenge. She said there would be three versions of the dance, including a ‘sit down’ option, an ‘easy’ dance and a more advanced option. “For the next phase of the project, we are in the process of building a green screen studio, which will fit three people,” she said. “People can go into the studio, perform the dance and then fill in their email address. “Their dance will be emailed to them, but in the finished product they will be dancing somewhere else, not in the studio. For example, they could be dancing on the moon or on top of Mt Arapiles. “We have also filmed dancers to create a backdrop, so with the green screen, it can look like you’re per-

forming with back-up dancers. We will then edit all the dances together to create the Wimmera Dance Challenge.” Ms Natali said she hoped the tutorial and green room would be finished this week, with the wider community to become involved by the end of the month. “People will be able to learn the dance from the tutorial and then book the green screen to come to their studio, school or workplace,” she said. This year’s festival, ‘Art is… unexpected, take two’ runs from May 28 to June 6. Organisers have been busy working on a diverse schedule, which features online and in-person events. “This year’s festival runs for 10 days, but as with every year, we are running some events in the lead-up,” Ms Natali said. “Along with the dance workshops, we had a poetry panel online via Zoom last week. That was a lovely event. We had lots of in-depth conversations about poetry, colonisation, indigenous issues – all sorts of things.” Critically acclaimed spoken-word artist Amy Bodossian will lead a poetry workshop at Jubilee Hall on Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. There will also be a Zoom version on May 11. “Participants will receive free poetry prompts, which are a reminder every day to do at least 10 minutes of writing,” Ms Natali said. “During the festival, on June 2, we will have a poetry slam, where people can share their poetry or read a poem they like. “If you want to write a poem but

Ms Natali is taking entries for this year’s Art-Is-Bald Prize until May 28. Budding photographers can enter portrait and landscape categories, with entries on display throughout the festival. Entry is free. People can visit website artis wimmera.com for more information about the competition, upcoming events and a 2021 festival schedule.

Maintaining connections A program addressing social disconnection due to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue in Ararat. The State Government will give Ararat Rural City Council up to $65,000 for its Community Action and Social Isolation, CASI, plan. The program provides a range of support services to help vulnerable community members who have been experiencing loneliness and isolation. Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the program, which started earlier this year, has helped more than 15,000 callers to the coronavirus hotline and delivered practical social activities such as video chats, online book clubs and fitness groups. “We are thrilled Ararat Rural City will receive more funding and support to deliver tailored social activities for members of our community to help them stay connected,” she said. In addition, the council will receive $50,000 for a Bridging the Gap to Digital Literacy project. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the project aimed to re-engage people with their community. “The pandemic has brought a focus on the importance of community and social connections,” he said. “Council is proud to be connecting residents with support and providing them with digital devices to increase social connections, improve digital literacy and access to technology.” The project uses a library outreach bus to provide digital devices, learning and connection to residents. This service aims to teach individuals how to use their laptops or tablets so they can connect with friends, family, support groups or to search the internet.

change in direction for Horsham Rural City Band is continuing as the performing ensemble evolves from a brass to concert band. The band started the transition in February last year, opening the door for woodwind and other instruments and musicians to be involved. Band leaders are keen to build on musician numbers and are also appealing for the community to provide or loan woodwind instruments to encourage more people to take up band music. President Prue Beltz said the band had about 30 members and was keen to open the door for as many people to be involved in music as possible. “We’re basically putting a call out for people who might want to join and play. And we’re also asking others who might have an old instrument such as a saxophone, clarinet or flute tucked away in a cupboard or sitting under a bed that they’ve never played or no longer play, to consider helping us out,” she said. “There are plenty of people who might have thought about having a go at playing these types of instruments but been turned away by the potential cost. “We want to be able to encourage more participation by being able to loan out more instruments.

MIXING IT UP: Elsa Matthias, on saxophone, and Karl Carman, tuba, practise at Horsham Rural City Band Hall in Horsham. The band is going through a revival and opening the door for more instruments and players. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “We believe you shouldn’t be prevented from playing music because you can’t afford to. “We’re already involved in projects encouraging people to learn an instrument. “One involves a lending program with Horsham Primary School, where many of the brass instruments the children are using belong to the band.” Mrs Beltz, a self-confessed ‘roadie’ but with a family full

of musicians, said the band’s transition started with the appointment of a new band master last year and a desire to regenerate the organisation. “The band is quite young, with the eldest in their 50s and many others in their late teens to 30s,” she said. “We’ve been doing a lot of open rehearsals in different halls across the district where people can come in and watch.

“People can expect our new-sounding Horsham Rural City Band to present a considerably expanded repertoire as part of the shift in direction.” People keen to help in providing instruments to the band or keen to join the band can call Mrs Beltz on 0439 826 187. “The more the merrier,” she said.

Northern Grampians Shire Council has encouraged community groups in its municipality to apply for Bulgana Green Power Hub Community Fund grants. Funding applications close on May 28. Groups can apply for grants ranging from one-off allocations of $5000 for projects that do not require matching dollar-for-dollar funding contributions, up to grants of $20,000 requiring matching contributions. The larger grants are dependent on the individual project application and available funding at the time and matching contributions can be from the community group or from another confirmed grant. Project leaders applying for a grant need to align with at least one of Bulgana Green Power Hub owner Neoen Australia’s community growth focus areas:

environmental sustainability – inspiring participation, development and uptake of new technologies and ideas; health and wellbeing – contributing to improved health and wellbeing outcomes in regional communities; strong connected communities – encouraging community participation, involvement and connection; sport and recreation – increasing participation in sport and recreational activities; arts and culture – fostering creativity and connection in the community through art and culture activities or programs; skills, education and training – addressing skills development and adding value to educational opportunities. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said Neoen Australia was committed to contributing to the municipality by providing financial support to community

groups to build capacity and grow the region. “Neoen commits $120,000 annually to this fund, which is distributed by the council,” he said. “A community advisory panel is being established to ensure the fund complies with all legal and regulatory requirements and that the funds are allocated in a consistent, fair and transparent manner. The panel also ensures that projects funded meet the funding eligibility criteria.” Applications for places on the advisory panel close on May 14. People can visit website www.ngshire. vic.gov.au, call the council’s community development officer Rachel Whittaker on 5358 8700 or email rachel.whittaker@ ngshire.vic.gov.au for more information.

Planned burns in the Grampians F

orest Fire Management Victoria’s planned burning program started in Grampians National Park last week to reduce the potential impact of bushfires. Wimmera district manager Glenn Rudolph said the burning program aimed to reduce the spread and intensity of future bushfires and modify conditions to give firefighters a greater chance to contain a fire before it impacted on people, property and the environment. “We work closely with the Bureau of Meteorology to assess weather conditions – such as humidity, temperature and wind speed – and will only carry out burns when conditions are suitable,” he said. “People might see and smell smoke around Grampians National Park while the planned burning program is taking place. “We know that smoke from planned burns can concern some people, but it’s important that crews take every opportunity while conditions are right to reduce bushfire risk. “Smoke is an inevitable by-product of the important planned burning work we do.”

Mr Rudolph encouraged people to sign up to Planned Burns Victoria online to find out about up-to-date burns, install a VicEmergency app on smart phones or call the VicEmergency hotline on 1800 226 226 with any concerns. “While FFMVic aims to minimise the impact on the community as much as possible, these planned burns might result in a number of localised closures and visitor restrictions within Grampians National Park for the duration of ignition,” he said. “Once a burn is scheduled, closure information for roads and tracks within the Grampians National Park can be found on the Parks Victoria website, www.parks.vic.gov.au. “Signs will also be in place to notify residents and visitors when closures are occurring. “For safety reasons, these closures will remain in place until the area is declared safe.” Mr Rudolph said crews were adhering to appropriate physical-distancing and hygiene requirements to ensure operations could safely continue across the state.

Much to their amazement, June re-enters the lives of her adult children, Ginny, Claudia Karvan, and Devon, Stephen Curry, and learns that ‘things haven’t gone according to plan’. With limited time but plenty of pluck, June sets about trying to put everything, and everyone, back on track. When her meddling backfires, June sets out on a romantic journey of her own and discovers she needs help from the people she was trying to rescue.

Go-karts primed for resurgence T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he profile and promotion of go-kart racing in the Wimmera is set to undergo a major boost with confirmation of State Government backing for a major revamp of a track at Dooen.

– Remo Luciani

The go-kart track is part of a broader Dooen motorsport hub that also includes a high-ranking motocross circuit. Horsham has a long history of go-kart racing, which apart from being an international motorsport in its own right, has a traditionally strong link with other forms of motor sport including Formula One racing. It also provides opportunities for young drivers to learn the foundations of safety and vehiclehandling and budding mechanics to gain insight into engineering. Mr Luciani has been a primary trail-blazer of go-kart racing in Horsham, lifting the profile of the sport by competing at elite levels and turning his hobby into a major business, Remo Racing. Wimmera Kart Racing Club will present a round of the sport’s Victorian Country Series on July 17 and 18. Organisers expect the fourth of a six-round series to attract more than 200 competitors and swell Horsham’s population by about 1000.

The State Government has provided $153,706 for Wimmera Kart Racing Club through a Community Motorsport Program to extend the circuit. Confirmation of government backing for the project, of which the Wimmera club will also provide $40,000, will extend the circuit from 518 to 650 metres, increasing grid capacity for competitors. Club president Remo Luciani said initial planning for the project had started almost a decade ago and work was likely to start in October. “This is far from an afterthought. It has long been in the club plans in an effort to bring the track up to a modern standard,” he said. “It will mean more participation in the club, more drivers on the track and will make us eligible for more major events in the future. “The track hasn’t had an upgrade for more than 40 years and it is very exciting for us and our sport. “Overall the project will dramatically raise prospects for go-kart racing in Horsham. “It would not have been possible without the funding made available through the Community Motorsport Program.” Mr Luciani said the project represented the first stage of an overall redevelopment of the site. “We also have plans for stage two and three,” he said.

Greater mental health support

oung people in Horsham struggling with their mental health can access a new State Government service that provides targeted, personalised online therapy and peer support.

The Moderated Online Social Therapy, MOST, service, designed to blend digital and face-to-face care for young people, provides instant access to online support. Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford, in welcoming the MOST service for Horsham, said it would not replace ‘crucial’ face-to-face services, but it would provide complementary treatment and recovery support in an online environment. “It’s great to see the MOST program assisting young people in Horsham. We’re doing everything we can to ensure young Victorians struggling with their mental health have the support they need now and close to home,” she said. “We have the blueprint for delivering a new mental-health system for all Victorians and we are getting on with the job of building it from the ground up.”

The Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System outlined the importance of future digital health technology for young people. Horsham already has a headspace centre, which provides free counselling support for people aged 12 to 25. Horsham district community leaders are pushing for in-depth improvements to mental-health services for the broader community across the region. An advocacy group is confident Royal Commission recommendations such as establishing a framework to overall inadequate services across the state have ‘opened the door’ for the Wimmera to stake a strong claim in becoming a western Victorian mental-health-service base. Healthy Minds Horsham and regional Rotary clubs are behind the push to tackle a ‘serious health-service-gap’ in the region. Group leaders have declared that ‘getting the formula right on the ground’ in fighting mental-health illness across all community levels in the region must be paramount in planning.

Country music returns to Horsham RSL After a 15-month compulsory hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, country music will return to Horsham RSL this week. The Austins, from Keith in South Australia, and Robyn Gleeson of Warrnambool will perform tomorrow and Friday. Horsham Country Music secretary Lyall Wheaton said it was ‘terrific live country music was returning to Horsham’. Mr Wheaton said the downside was that

COVID restrictions meant numbers for both a dinner and show tomorrow night and Morning Melodies on Friday were capped at 72. He said although the dinner and show was already sold out, a small number of Morning Melodies tickets remained. Mr Wheaton said the Horsham Country Music committee was working on artists and dates for shows in June and July.

HAPPY TO SUPPORT: Horsham and District Racing Club president Jason Merlo, second from left, presents $1000 to Horsham Men’s Shed members. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Racing club chips in for Men’s Shed Horsham and District Racing Club has provided a $1000 donation to Horsham Men’s Shed as part of a commitment to foster community relationships. Club manager Charmayne Parry said the club, busy planning for an ‘exciting’ 12 months ahead, was delighted to be able to make the donation. “Like many organisations, Horsham and District Racing Club suffered for 12 months during the COVID-19 pandemic, but now things are starting to look brighter with the easing of restrictions and racegoers allowed back trackside,” she said. “Country racing was fortunate to continue operating during

COVID, albeit with very stringent protocols and measures in place, but the Men’s Shed was not so fortunate.” Club president Jason Merlo said being shut down for close to 12 months, still having bills to pay, members having no interaction with their peers and being unable to do what they love must have been so difficult. “We really felt for groups such as Horsham Men’s Shed, and now that restrictions are easing and the men are back at their happy place, we wanted to show our support. Hopefully this makes it a bit easier for them moving forward and to continue doing what they love,” he said.

“With a large share of country race clubs relying on the work of volunteers and not-for-profit organisations, we understand how important groups such as the Men’s Shed are to our community. If this donation can help in some small way, that is terrific.” Wimmera Primary Care Partnership’s Geoff Witmitz, speaking on behalf of Horsham Men’s Shed, said the donation would help the group meet operational costs. “The interruption to the Men’s Shed over the past 12 months has impacted their ability to do the small jobs that cover the costs of utilities and insurance and operational expenses,” he said.

“Having my dad support me when I came out made me feel safe and loved.”

Three major things affect the nervous system and your spine: 1) How we move - have an adjustment-don’t put up with a problem even if it’s not painful- if it’s stopping you from moving well, you need a hand from me. 2) How we think - keep positive and read something uplifting every day, being over-anxious causes stress on the nervous system & compromising the immune system. 3) How we eat - Eat good quality food, lots of fruit, veggies and some fresh meat. Absorbing nutrients from food helps us heal and have a healthy nervous system and immune system. Remember when you were sick, healthy bone broths of chicken and beef were always good you. A healthy, well moving spine is great nutrition for the brain, it helps you think clearer, move better and sleep better. Looking forward to helping you.

‘Sea of pink’ returns to park BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Mother’s Day Classic organisers are eagerly anticipating the return of festivities at Sawyer Park on Sunday.

Last year’s national five-kilometre fun run-walk, which raises money for breast cancer research, was a ‘virtual’ event because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Committee member Jackie Exell said although there were several changes to the event in 2021, she was pleased to see people could again participate in groups. “This year, instead of all leaving together, people will be leaving in waves,” she said. “People who have pre-registered online have been prompted to select a timeslot, which are all capped. “It will be great to have people back at Sawyer Park again this year – last year it was just me.” Groups will start the walkrun from Horsham Soundshell at 8.30am, 9am, 9.30am and 10am. “This might actually suit some people better, because they can go out for breakfast or have a sleep-in and then come down and do their walk,” Ms Exell said. “It creates flexibility.” Ms Exell said organisers had adhered to Mother’s Day Classic and government COVID guidelines. “We’ve got everything in place, such as marshals, to ensure the safety aspect,” she said. “We will probably have a few prizes and a raffle, but there will be no presentations as such. Although we won’t have a stage, there will still be music and a great atmosphere.

TICKLED PINK: Horsham Mother’s Day Classic committee members, from left, Lesley Schuller, Janine English, Roady McKinnon and Jackie Exell are eagerly awaiting the return of an in-person event on Sunday. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing a sea of pink as we celebrate Mother’s Day.” Ms Exell said people could register online before Sunday or at the soundshell on the day. On-the-day registrations will be cash only. Ms Exell said committee members had been busy organising several fundraising activities, including a movie night tomorrow.

“That sold out in three days,” she said. “We’re going to see June Again, which is an Australian film. It’s a light, feelgood movie and fits in with the motherhood theme.” Ms Exell said a fashion parade was also in the works. “We’re looking at later in the year, probably spring,” she said. “There’s a bit going on in the background, as well as what we’re

organising for Sunday.” The Mother’s Day Classic aims to honour people who have experienced breast cancer while raising money for life-saving breast cancer research. People can visit website www. mothersdayclassic.com.au/vic-horsham for more information, including pricing, or to register.

Groups share in funding Community organisations throughout Horsham district will share in $440,527 in municipal grants. The funding is through Horsham Rural City Council’s annual Community Grants and Donations Program. This year’s allocation includes an additional $50,000 from the council’s COVID support package from the previous year’s budget. Each year the council allocates money to support community and sporting groups and the extra money has meant more is available to support clubs, halls and kindergartens to help with maintenance and facility improvements as well as specific projects and events. The council received 77 community grant applications for specific projects and funded 77 percent of requests. Mayor Robyn Gulline said the high percentage indicated the importance of the program in the community. “The local expenditure resulting from this council support will provide an important economic stimulus for our community as we continue to rebound from COVID-19,” she said. “The council recognises that these grants are a way of supporting not-for-profit community groups and organisations that are still finding their feet following a really tough 12 months.” Cr Gulline said it was exciting to have a wide range of projects and events in this year’s applications. “I look forward to seeing the successful projects coming to fruition over the next 12 months and we plan to share some of these good news stories with our community,” she said. A full list of grant allocations is available on Horsham Rural City Council’s website, hrcc. vic.gov.au under an ‘our services’ section.

Staley: Ripon would benefit

ember for Ripon Louise Staley is confident her electorate would be a major winner under a LiberalNationals Local Business Action Plan.

Ms Staley said jobs would be the centrepiece of the plan if the Coalition won government, leading to about 15,000 Victorian small businesses being removed from a payroll tax system. “Small businesses in Ripon pay too much tax – and the bigger they grow, the more Victorians they employ, the more they pay,” she said. “The Local Business Action Plan means a saving of up to $43,650 each year on payroll tax for small business.” Ms Staley said support for small business was more important than ever after a tough 12 months. “As we emerge from the health crisis caused by COVID-19, small business must be at the forefront of the recovery, and this plan is all about supporting small businesses,” she said. “Payroll tax is a tax on jobs, and the Liberal-Nationals will cut this tax to create more Victorian jobs. “Under Labor, Victoria has the worst small-business payroll tax in the country. “The Liberal-Nationals will turn this around and make this state the best place to start and grow a small business. “Our local small businesses are fundamental to keeping Ripon strong and supporting our local economy. They hate payroll tax as it’s a tax and handbrake on employing people.” Ms Staley said under the plan an O’Brien

government would increase the threshold at which a business was liable to pay payroll tax to $1.6-million. She said the current Victorian payroll tax threshold of $650,000, scheduled to increase to $700,000 in 2022-23, was the worst of any Australian state or territory. “Our reform will make Victoria the most competitive state for small business payroll tax,” she said. “The Liberal-Nationals payroll tax reform plan ensures: One, businesses won’t pay a cent of payroll tax until their wages bill is greater than $1.6-million; two, no business will pay the full rate of 4.85 percent of payroll tax until their wages bill reaches $2-million. Payroll tax would be phased in gradually between $1.6-million and $2-million – ensuring no business is hit with a sudden tax hike as they employ more Victorians; and three, all businesses, regardless of their total wages bill, subtract $800,000 from their assessable payroll when determining tax liability. “We will continue to fight for small businesses in Ripon and will be relentless in creating the most attractive state in our country for small business to start up, grow and employ Victorians.”

Bicycle instruction rolling out Ararat district school children are gaining greater insight into the rules, regulations and safety surrounding bicycle riding as part of a safety program. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network is helping promote bicycle safety by providing training for staff members and volunteers at Ararat West, Maroona, Willaura, St Mary’s, Ararat North and Moyston primary schools and Lake Bolac College. CGLLEN has provided the training after being successful in its application for funding through a VicRoads Community Road Safety Grants program. Acting executive officer Jane Moriarty said having Ararat-dis-

trict-trained instructors would allow students aged between nine and 13 to develop skills they needed to ride safely and independently on roads and paths. “We applied for funding through the Department of Transport after our schools identified a desire to have experienced, and preferably qualified, ‘Bike Ed’ staff in their school communities,” she said. “Bike Ed is an important program that inspires students to develop their bicycle-riding skills and their physical capabilities and gain knowledge and understanding of the road-traffic environment and road rules in and around Ararat. “CGLLEN and the seven schools involved are extremely

grateful to VicRoads for allowing us to run this training course for staff and parents who are involved in the planning and delivery of safe-cycling programs.” St Mary’s Primary School teacher Georgie Peel completed the training earlier this year and said she was looking forward to sharing her newly acquired knowledge with students. “Having trained staff and volunteers within our school makes it so much easier to plan and deliver Bike Ed,” she said. “I learned so much from the training and I can’t wait to get out on the bikes with our students and help them become safe cyclists.”

Anguish over dingoes idea O

utspoken Victorian Liberal Bev McArthur believes farmer anxiety is growing about the potential reintroduction of dingoes into Grampians National Park.

Mrs McArthur, a Western Victorian upper-house representative, said a dingo attack on a toddler on Queensland’s Fraser Island last month had reignited concerns about the issue. She said a decision on the proposal, part of a draft Grampians Management Plan, was in the hands of Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio. “The draft plan gave farmers no reason to feel comfortable about the safety of their livestock, or indeed people for that matter,” Mrs McArthur said. “There are two predominant incomes in the Grampians – farming and tourism – and this one proposal manages to threaten both of them. “Even just the fear of attack from introduced dingoes could undermine the Grampians tourism industry despite the ongoing investment in tourism infrastructure. “Why spend $30-million on the Grampians Peaks Trail, and allow camping in the park, if you overlay it with the threat of dingo attacks on visitors?” Dingoes have been in Australia for thousands of years and are an integral part of the history and culture of many Aboriginal peoples. They are apex predators as well as having cultural significance and an important role in various Australian eco-systems. The park draft speculates a role they

might be able to play in suppressing foxes and feral-cat populations. Mrs McArthur said as well as the Grampians draft, there were submissions pursuing dingo re-introduction across the state as part of an Environment Planning Committee Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria. “The Australian Dingo Foundation, ADF, argues that ‘dingo extermination is also counter-productive for farmers’ because unchecked numbers of animals such as kangaroos compete for grazing land with livestock,” she said. “However, the ADF also admits that the ‘majority of sheep producers, 93 percent, are located in areas where dingoes have long been removed from the landscape’. “And yet the Gariwerd proposal is exactly about putting dingoes right back into Australia’s sheep-production heartland. It is bizarre and reckless in the extreme. “Electric fencing, drone drops of dingorepelling pheromones and Maremma dogs won’t be enough to save the tens-of-thousands-of-dollars-worth of livestock that can be cruelly killed in one night by a wild dog or dingo. “They leave a carcass-carnage behind and mental anguish for farmers dealing with the devastation, which can spread across kilometres of farmland in one hit.” Mrs McArthur said she believed native animals would also be threatened by dingoes, despite the argument that dingoes would largely hunt feral animals. “At what cost would dingoes be re-introduced? And who is going to compensate when it all goes wrong?,” she said.

DRIVER TRAINERS: From left, Russell Marland, Casey Beralli, Rebecca Reynolds, Anthony Hand, Calvin Taylor and Clinton Lobley took part in Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network TAC L2P mentor training in St Arnaud.

Support for young drivers A St Arnaud program to help young people gain skills needed to be safe and competent motorists is about to get underway. Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network is ready to ramp up its TAC L2P Program after running mentor training in the town. Six volunteers spent a day learning how to be effective driving supervisors and are now ready to help disadvantaged youth achieve a probationary licence. TAC L2P project officer Penny Walton-Bourke said CGLLEN was proud to extend the drivermentor program to young people in St Arnaud, Avoca and surrounding areas thanks to a grant from Avoca District Co-operative

Ltd and Community Enterprise Foundation. “Late last year we received $5500 through a BUILD100 Grants Program to have one of our L2P cars permanently located in St Arnaud,” she said. “Since then, we have been focusing on recruiting more mentors to meet the demand, which significantly increased as a result of COVID-19. “We were really happy with the turn-out for our St Arnaud training session and are looking forward to matching our newly qualified mentors with local learner drivers.” Ms Walton-Bourke said the TAC L2P Program helped young people gain independence and devel-

op lifelong skills. “L2P caters for learner drivers between the ages of 16 and 21 who have limited access to a suitable vehicle or supervising driver,” she said. “The program matches these young people with a trained driver mentor who they meet weekly to practise their driving. “For some of our learners, getting their licence is vital to their employment, study and sporting commitments. “That’s why this program is so important.” Ms Walton-Bourke said anyone looking to join the program as a learner or mentor should call her on 5352 3266 or 0418 535 478.

Fishing body reforms

he board of Victoria’s recreational fishing peak body, established with considerable input from Wimmera anglers more than 20 years ago, will have greater female and multi-cultural representation as part sweeping changes.

The State Government is working with VRFish to ensure Victorian anglers are represented by a ‘strong, modern and diverse representative body’. Fishing and Boating Minister Melissa Horne said the outcome of a 2020 review would lead to reforms that would increase female representation on the organisation’s board to 50 percent. She said VRFish would also ensure multicultural diversity on the board, which would include indigenous representation. Other reforms include greater board membership turnover, increased monthly financial reporting and the

“Recreational fishers come from all walks of life, with a range of fishing interests and we’re pleased that VRFish will continue to reflect the community it represents”

– Melissa Horne

adherence to set key-performance indicators such as increased advocacy and research. VRFish has been in operation for close to 25 years and is funded via revenue generated by the sale of recreational fishing licences. Wimmera Anglers Association, which represented clubs across much of western Victoria and a former powerful lobby group, was a primary advocate in establishing fishinglicence-revenue reform. The reform involved a powerful push to ensure money generated from licences, which expanded to cover all angling instead of just the sport

in fresh water, went towards angler-friendly projects through a peak body. Ms Horne said a $35-million State Government investment into angling meant more Victorians were fishing more often. “These reforms are about making sure VRFish continues to represent the growing community of fishers in Victoria,” she said. “The government will continue to work alongside VRFish as they implement these measures to ensure the Victorian fishing experience can remain a sustainable, inclusive and enjoyable place for all. “Recreational fishers come from all walks of life, with a range of fishing interests and we’re pleased that VRFish will continue to reflect the community it represents.” VRFish chair Rob Loats, formerly of Rich Avon and now of Swan Hill, said VRFish would continue to advocate, evolve and diversify.

Online meetings to continue in Ararat Ararat Rural City Council will offer live online streaming of its council meetings indefinitely to ensure it provides transparency in governance and community access to its operations. Chief executive Tim Harrison said the council’s primary responsibility was to work with the community. “A key part of that responsibility is to ensure that our community receives timely access to information about the critical decisions that represent their future,” he said. “Last year, in response to the pandemic, the State Government intro-

duced new mechanisms into the Local Government Act that would allow council meetings to continue safely online. “We had already activated our livestream of Ararat council meetings in April 2018 to ensure ratepayers in every town across our municipality had access to decisions as they happened. “It is also critical to support the work of our local media, so they can continue covering the issues that matter. “To further enhance the service, we’ve recently made changes to im-

prove the quality of the online broadcast, so briefings and individual discussions between councillors can be heard clearly by everyone tuning in. “In addition, a video recording of each council meeting is archived on the council’s Facebook page for those unable to view the meeting live.” Ararat council meetings occur on the third Tuesday of the month and start at 6pm. The council has encouraged people to join the next livestream on May 18 via the council’s Facebook page.

Bluey bound for Horsham A Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show Victorian tour will visit Horsham on July 13. A new theatrical adaptation of the award-winning children’s television series, the show, at Horsham Town Hall, features an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm and new music by Bluey composer, Joff Bush. BBC Studios and Andrew Kay in association with QPAC’s Out of the Box and Windmill Theatre Co is presenting Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show, which stars the Heeler family, Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli. The production comes to life via puppets, directed by puppetry director Jacob Williams. Show director Rosemary Myers said the production team was looking forward to the tour. “Like the rest of Australia, we love Bluey and it’s a thrill and privilege to bring these brilliant characters into the three-dimensional world,” she said. Bluey, with a fan base including

parents as well as children, rates as the most-watched series to have been presented on ABC iview. The iview channel has more than 480-million plays across Bluey’s first two seasons. In June 2019, BBC Studios struck a global broadcast deal with Disney to premiere Bluey in all territories outside Australia, New Zealand and China. The Australian-grown animated series has had critical success in Australia and globally, winning a Logie Award for Most Outstanding Children’s Program in 2019, an AACTA Award for Best Children’s Program in 2019 and 2020 and an International Emmy Kids Award in a pre-school category in 2020. Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show has support from Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand Fund. People can book to see the show in Horsham via website www.horshamtownhall.com.au.

Jazzed up Ford gets stylish with Ranger Raptor X and FX4, pictured

ot on the heels of launching four new Ranger variants, Ford Australia is back at it with the arrival of the new jazzed-up Ranger Raptor X and the third coming of the lower-spec FX4.

Priced from $79,390 and $59,990 plus on-roads respectively, the new and returning trim levels are aimed squarely at upping the Ranger’s visual prowess both at the top and in the middle of the range, with the FX4 once again being based on the XLT. Flaunting a heap of new styling cues – ‘over the top’ stripes, matte black grille, front bumper, door handles, tailgate handle, fender vent, mirror caps, foglight bezels, rear bumper cover, wheel caps and tailgate ‘Ford’ lettering – the Raptor X boasts no mechanical enhancements over the standard Raptor, with even the tyres

going unchanged. Further enhancing the look is a new ‘Asphalt Black Matt’ finish for the existing 17-inch alloy wheels and an extended leg sportsbar pinched from the FX4 Max. The cosmetic enhancements continue within the cabin, with red contrast stitching along with ‘hydrographic’ and ‘Black Alley’ trim accents. Due to arrive in showrooms from July, the Raptor X is powered by the familiar bi-turbo 2.0-litre fourcylinder diesel engine, hooked up exclusively to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The resulting 157kW-500Nm is put to the ground by a part-time, selectable all-wheel-drive system as per the regular Raptor. The FX4 once again sits between the volume-selling XLT and the new Raptor wannabe FX4 Max both on price and standard equipment levels,

featuring plenty of exterior and interior upgrades over the XLT. Compared with its donor vehicle, the FX4 can be identified by its darkened LED high performance headlights, unique black FX4 mesh grille and 18inch alloy wheels, FX4-specific flank and tailgate decals, black extended sportsbar, wing mirrors and exterior trim. Similar tweaks have been made inside the cabin with leather-appointed seats front and rear embossed with FX4 logos and red stitching, softtouch instrument panel top, ‘Tinted Graphite’ trim accents and FX4-specific floor mats. Unlike the Raptor X, the FX4 is available with either the bi-turbo 2.0-litre engine or the established 3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder mill, the latter of which can be paired to either a six-speed manual or auto-

matic transmission – just as it can be on the XLT. Both new variants come with the established array of Ranger 4x4 standard equipment features with the highlights including the SYNC 3 infotainment system with voice-activated sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, a reversing camera and digital instrumentation, while active safety features include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping aid with lane departure warning and driver alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and automatic high-beam. Ford Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive Andrew Birkic said the FX4’s return was in response to customer feedback, while the Raptor X was designed to ‘turn heads’.

“This highly regarded member of the Ranger family gives Ranger buyers even more value and choice with a package offering all the capability of the XLT but with its own design elements and features,” he said. “One of the things that customers always tell us about the Ranger Raptor is how hard you can push it off-road, and yet it’s still so comfortable and easy to drive on-road. “The styling changes made as part of the Ranger Raptor X will help it to keep turning heads as a stand-out member of the Ford performance family.” Ford has sold 9115 Ranger 4x4s so far this year ending March, 763 more than it did over the same period last year, marking an 8.6 percent sales increase year-on-year. – Callum Hunter

Hyundai reveals Kona N hot hatch

fter months of teasing and drip-feeding information, Hyundai Motor Company has finally debuted its Kona N, a compact SUV packing up to 213kW of power and capable of a subsix-second dash from standstill to 100kmh.

Due to touch down locally in the third quarter of this year, the Kona N is powered by the same highly strung turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine as the incoming facelifted i30 N hot hatch, with peak power and torque rated at 206kW-392Nm. That is unless the ‘N Grin Shift’ function for the eight-speed dualclutch automatic transmission is engaged, which liberates an extra 7kW for up to 20 seconds, boosting the kilowatt count to 213. When all is said and done, the Kona N will sprint from 0-100kmh in a claimed 5.5 seconds, with launch control fitted to all versions as standard. Overseas markets will get the ‘N’ as well as the ‘N Performance’ trim, the latter of which will be the only one offered here as per the rest of the Australian N range. In an interesting but not overly surprising move, Hyundai Motor Company, HMC, opted to make its ‘hot SUV’ front-wheel-drive only, which ultimately makes sense given it shares its platform and powertrain with the i30 N, however it is also at odds with the all-paw N-Line which proves the platform would have been receptive. The Kona N features the same electronic limited-slip differential, e-LSD, mounted to the front axle as the i30 N, officially dubbed the ‘N Corner Carving’.

POWER: With up to 213kW-392Nm, the Hyundai Kona N is a hot hatch on stilts. Cornering capability is the name of the game for the Kona N, with the e-LSD being just one of the many N specific upgrades fitted to help transform the Kona into a ‘corner rascal’. Despite having around the same ground clearance as a regular N-Line, the Kona N rides on a far more aggressive suspension set-up, with the whole package rolling on forged 19-inch alloy wheels shod with high-performance Pirelli P-Zero tyres. N Performance brakes are fitted as standard to help haul the flying family hauler up again from its 240kmh top speed, while advanced traction and stability control systems combine with the e-LSD to keep things in check both in slippery conditions or just when pushing hard. To help the driver extract the absolute maximum from their cars, the

transmission is fitted with another two ‘N performance functions’, those being N Power Shift and N Track Sense Shift. N Power Shift speeds up the gear shifts during hard acceleration to mitigate any torque dips during gear changes and keep progress as rapid as possible. When in full automatic mode, N Track Sense Shift can detect optimum conditions for ‘dynamic driving’ and as such, adjusts the transmission’s shift pattern and change characteristics to match. Five drive modes will also be featured – eco, normal, sport, N and custom – along with an array of adjustable and configurable settings for the engine, exhaust, steering and stability control. Visually, the Kona N largely resem-

bles its lesser N-Line sibling in flaunting a sports bodykit, body-coloured cladding and aggressively styled alloy wheels, but there are a few select differences. For starters, the front fascia dons a unique N mesh grille, enlarged lower intake, refined light signature and a red-accented front splitter, with the red theme being continued both down the flanks and at the rear of the car. The aforementioned forged alloys are bigger than those on the N-Line, not to mention a completely different design – and finish – behind which peek out the red N-branded brake callipers. At the rear, the N has replaced the N-Line’s subtle twin exhaust tips with a huge dual-pipe set-up exiting from a far more aggressive diffuser, matched at the roofline by a new twin-wing

rear spoiler and integrated triangular N brake-light. Similar touches have been made within the interior, where we find N sports seats, Performance Blue stitching, a head-up display, N steering wheel, metal sports pedals and an N-branded gear lever. Whereas the i30 N and smaller i20 N both debuted in the now-signature Performance Blue paintwork, HMC designers have opted to launch the Kona N in a new ‘Sonic Blue’ hero colour to help it ‘fly under the radar’ given it is still ultimately an SUV. For reference, Performance Blue will still be available along with the familiar array of N colours. Pricing and specification details are still a way off from being revealed, but global standard equipment highlights will include a digital instrument cluster, 10-inch infotainment system with N-specific displays, readouts and functions, head-up display and configurable N modes. As you would expect from a new model in 2021, active safety features are in abundance, with the Kona N boasting forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, lane following assist, driver attention warning, high beam assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear crosstraffic collision-avoidance alert, safe exit warning and smart cruise control, which will all come as standard. With the N-Line Premium currently asking $42,400 plus on-road costs, we expect the Kona N to land around the $50,000 mark. HMC Australia sold 3876 Konas through the first quarter of 2021, accounting for a solid 12.1 percent of the sub-$40,000 compact SUV segment. – Callum Hunter

Nissan Leaf e+ touches down N

issan Australia has bolstered the performance of its Leaf all-electric small hatch with the arrival of the new flagship e+ variant, which checks into showrooms $10,500 upstream of its regular counterpart at $60,490 plus on-road costs. With the specification of the e+ essentially the same as the base-level Leaf, the main difference lies under the skin with the powertrain – the Leaf e+ features a lithium-ion battery that

is now 22kWh larger, with a combined capacity of 62kWh. That extra battery capacity not only boosts WLTP driving range by 115km to 385km, but also power from 110kW-320Nm to a more punchy 160kW-340Nm – an increase of 50kW-20Nm. Nissan expects buyers to slightly favour the regular $49,990 Leaf with a variant split of about 60:40, with Nissan Australia electrification and mobility national manager Ben War-

ren explaining a range of factors will decide which variant will be best for them, but at the end of the day the option of choice was critical. “We think the range is obviously a critical piece, and where e+ really ties in is for those customers who do those extra-long drives or have those extra requirements, and that’s where the e+ really provides that solution today,” he said. – Robbie Wallis

Volkswagen debuts sport ID.4 GTX

he new Volkswagen ID.4 has not even landed Down Under yet and the brand has already debuted the performance flagship of the range, the GTX, however Aussie fans should not hold their breath in regard to a local introduction.

PERFORMANCE DRIVEN: Volkswagen’s new GTX injects some sportiness into the electric SUV. er than the two-wheel-drive version of 520km, however Volkswagen says the extra grip and grunt does wonders for the car over tricky terrain. To help it stand out from its lesser counterparts, the GTX flaunts a series of cosmetic enhancements designed to make it look more athletic and

‘robust’. New bumpers front and rear, honeycomb foglight bezels, unique alloy wheels and a new rear lighting signature lead the charge here, supported by a bolder array of body colours along with the blacked-out roof and spoiler. Changes have been made within the

cabin too, primarily to the interior colour scheme, with the upper sections of the dashboard and door panels being ‘X-Blue’ which is then contrasted against by red seaming throughout. Other reminders of the sportier nature at hand can be found in the abundance of GTX logos smattered around

Debuted last week in its native Germany, a Volkswagen Group Australia spokesperson confirmed to GoAuto there were no current plans to secure the GTX for our market, even though standard versions of the ID.4 are expected to make it here. Much like the GTI is to the Golf range, the GTX is the first dedicated athlete of the ID.4 range, sporting a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, more power and pumped-up styling to match. Motivated by the same 77kh lithiumion battery pack as the regular ID.4, the GTX’s dual-motor set-up develops a combined 220kW of power – up from 150kW in the standard version – which is enough to see it dart from 0-100kmh in a GTI-beating 6.2 seconds. The top speed meanwhile – rarely the strong suit of EVs – is limited to 180km. With double the mechanical drag and a heap more power, it should come as no great surprise to find the GTX’s 480km claimed range is short-

the cabin. While the full variant-specific kit list is still to be confirmed, eye-balling the interior suggests the GTX features all of the same toys as the standard ID.4s and more, with highlights including ID.Light, the Discover Pro navigation system, Hello ID. voice command, We Connect Start online services, sports pedals, as well as various IQ.Drive assist systems. Volkswagen chief executive Ralf Brandstätter said the GTX was the ‘most emotional member of the ID. family to date’ and ‘shows that electric mobility and top sporty performance are not mutually exclusive’. “Electric driving is simply great fun – and with the ID.4 GTX we are adding a new dimension of sportiness and dynamics,” he said. Due to be launched in the German summer, from June, the ID.4 GTX will reportedly cost from €50,415, or A$78,528. An Australian launch for the ID.4 range is yet to be locked in by VGA, however the brand has previously earmarked a 2022 start for its EV rollout but it remains to be seen exactly which model emerges first. The Australian subsidiary has shifted 9089 new vehicles so far this year ending March, 6.8 percent less than it did over the same period last year. – Callum Hunter

Christian Devotions

Always Do What’s Right

Focussing solely on what you can do, without deciding what kind of person you should be, is a mistake. Your talent may make your name known, but your character will determine what people associate with it. Your talent may dictate your potential, but your character will determine your legacy. What is character? It’s the will to do what’s right, even when it’s not easy. It’s deciding ahead of time what’s truly non-negotiable. Count on it, the day will come when so-called ‘progress’ calls for compromising your convictions. In that moment, what hangs in the balance is your moral authority. So you must be clear about your convictions. You’ll be tempted to believe that once you reach a certain level of success, these challenges disappear. No, success doesn’t make anything easier. It just raises the stakes. What was once applauded is now simply expected. It’s a lot easier to win a title than defend it. Furthermore, with success comes the inclination to see yourself as the final authority on right and wrong. Look around you and you’ll see that it’s not uncommon to find leaders playing by a different set of rules. Everything really does look different at the top! Once intoxicated by success you start to believe that the rules don’t apply to you. And that can be fatal. In the final analysis your reputation is how you’re known before men but your character is how you’re known before God. You say, ‘But why cling to something that’s outdated or has the potential to slow me down?’ The Bible answers: ‘This is what He requires of you: to do what is right.’ Heather Seaman, City Heart Church of Christ, Stawell

Willaura legacy continues Colin and Larelle McInnes and Doug and Jandi Slattery won Willaura Golf Club’s annual Legacy Golf Day. The 70-year-old event attracted 36 players who made the most of sunny conditions to play a mixed four-person ambrose, with proceeds from the day donated to Ararat Legacy. Max Vallance, ‘Nar’ McInnes, ‘Skeeta’ Fisher and Robert McDonald from Lake Bolac were runners-up. Longest drives went to Terry Walker and Barb Gill, and Karen Gleeson, Helenmary Macleod and Neil Bradford were nearest

the pins. John Jenkinson and Greg McInnes won raffle prizes. Club president Richard Laidlaw thanked all involved, including volunteers who maintained the course and provided catering. Ararat Legatee Steve Shannon said he was pleased to see the club continue its long association with Legacy, noting that it was ‘a phenomenal effort to recognise the work of Legacy for more than three score years and 10 and still be going strong’. He also reminded players and supporters that some of the 99 widows in Ararat Legacy’s care lived in Willaura district.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Intrigue set to continue BY DEAN LAWSON

p for grabs! It’s a term many would have avoided in reference to a Horsham District football flag in the past decade with competition quickly becoming obvious.

But that is what the 2021 season is suggesting so far and the story will gather more intrigue at Quantong when competition resumes after a league bye this weekend. Noradjuha-Quantong is doing everything to suggest it is developing benchmark status and will continue to turn heads if it can beat Jeparit-Rainbow on Saturday week. But the top six on the ladder so far appear relatively even and there seems little doubt we are heading deep into a highly competitive year. Everyone is still measuring themselves against perennial force Harrow-Balmoral and JeparitRainbow was no exception last week, scoring a 21-point win against the Roos. The result left the Storm sitting in fourth place with a three-four win-loss record and tapping at the heels of the Bombers, Rupanyup and Kalkee. If the Storm can upset the Bombers after this weekend’s spell the competition will continue to burst open. It was big five-goal key-position aerialist Peter Weir and consistent Jay Kirwood, four goals, who led the way against Harrow-Balmoral last week and they will continue to loom as key players. There was little in the game at Balmoral, but a five-goal final term from the visitors suggested the Wimmera-Mallee outfit has a bit in the tank. Shane Maslin and Lukas Essenenwanger also played primary roles in the win. The Bombers will be floating on a cloud of confidence after a crushing 117-point win over Edenhope-Apsley, inspired by running machine Damian Cameron, sixgoal Jason Kerr, Riley Dunlop and co. But the team must now capture a major scalp, just what Jeparit-

Rainbow represents, but maintaining momentum over a break will be a challenge. With Kalkee and Rupanyup likely to win their next games and perhaps Harrow-Balmoral favourite to win a tester against Natimuk United next week, Swifts will want to build on a win over Pimpinio to stay in touch with the leaders. Swifts will use a spell this weekend to plan for their trip across the mountain to Laharum, where the Demons at this stage appear wandering somewhere in the competition’s second tier. Laharum could only match Kalkee last week for a quarter and then, despite reliable Tom Crawford and big Shannon Argall involved throughout, watched the Kees power on to a 92-point win. Swifts, meanwhile, with dignitaries watching on with the official opening of their North Park clubrooms, dispatched Pimpinio by 120 points. A nine-goal game from the Baggies’ Todd Matthews represents an ominous warning for Laharum, as does the form of Steve Carey and Jakob Salmi. If Swifts are on a voyage of selfdiscovery, where does that place Natimuk United? The Rams are in a similar position to the Baggies after surviving a blow-for-blow encounter with Kaniva-Leeor United and will next face a Harrow-Balmoral team in an unusual position of needing a consolidating win. Rare eye-hand talent Nathan Koenig, with six goals, was among architects of the win over the Cougars, while roaming tall Alex Dwyer and reliable Will Ridsdale were also good in the come-frombehind result. But the team, like all others so far, will measure itself against the Southern Roos. Harrow-Balmoral is in the unenviable position of being the hunted, sitting sixth with a week to contemplate the need for a reassuring victory. Simon Close is in good form, Callum Hobbs was good last week and Ethan Appleton kicked a couple of goals.

Mininera and District

HARD TO BEAT: Swifts’ Todd Matthews takes a strong mark despite the efforts of Pimpinio’s Tom Edson during Horsham District football action at Stawell’s North Park. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Third-placed and unbeaten Kalkee will rest up for a match against a Taylors Lake side desperate to get a win on the board but appearing light-on against the big guns. Kalkee’s big win over Laharum included a queue of goal-kickers led by Jayden Kuhne with four and the likes of Simon Hobbs, Pat Purcell and Deek Roberts again dominating proceedings. Taylors Lake does plenty to suggest it can stick with good sides for a half, but ultimately falls away. This happened against a ruthless Rupanyup side, regardless of the efforts of Trae Martin, Billy Finnigan and Matt McCulloch. Rupanyup, like Kalkee, is unbeaten and seemingly on a charge. Last weekend it had Blake Turner, Chris Schaper, five goals, Tim Tyler and Paul Trotter take the lead against the Lakers, while Jack Musgrove kicked six majors. The Panthers’ next game is

against a forever-battling Pimpinio side that managed only two goals against Swifts, with Nathan Clough and Jed Habermann flying the yellow and black flag. Edenhope-Apsley will have plenty of time to plan for its next game, against Kaniva-Leeor United in a contest at Edenhope. The Saints have wins over Pimpinio and Laharum but managed to score only three behinds last week against NoradjuhaQuantong. Kaniva-Leeor United, meanwhile, has so far had to contend pacesetters and is likely to start climbing up the ladder during the next few weeks. Kayne Councillor is giving the Cougars plenty, as is Dylan Natt, Liam Vivian and Ethan Councillor, who bagged a couple of goals last week. Jack Butler, Robert Wall and Clint Rokebrand were best players for Edenhope-Apsley last week.

This week: Ararat Eagles v Woorndoo-Mortlake, Caramut v Penshurst, Lismore-Derrinallum v Glenthompson-Dunkeld at Derrinallum, Great Western v Hawkesdale-Macarthur, SMW Rovers v Moyston-Willaura, Tatyoon v Wickliffe-Lake Bolac. Last week: Glenthompson-Dunkeld 13.19 (97) d SMW Rovers 11.7 (73), Great Western 22.12 (144) d Wickliffe-Lake Bolac 7.5 (47), Ararat Eagles 19.18 (132) d Hawkesdale-Macarthur 5.2 (32), Moyston-Willaura 28.30 (198) d Caramut 4.3 (27), Tatyoon 15.10 (100) d Penshurst 6.9 (45), Woorndoo-Mortlake 26.10 (166) d Lismore-Derrinallum 12.4 (76).

Wimmera results ‘in all directions’ A

BY DEAN LAWSON

battle for Wimmera-Mallee football supremacy appears on in earnest amid growing speculation about who has the team to beat as clubs head into round four. Competition supremacy might come from the north, south, east or west across the region and this weekend will provide greater insight into which outfits are on the money. It was as if a sudden gust of wind hit a pile of raked-up autumn leaves last week as results blew competition expectations in all directions. Where everything comes to rest now remains to be seen. Big results that had tongues wagging from Beulah to Ararat and everywhere in between last weekend were the Southern Mallee Giants’ one-point thriller over Minyip-Murtoa and an Ararat victory over Horsham. While the close contest between the Giants and the Burras was expected, Ararat’s 15-point victory over the Demons took many by surprise. The result has added an extra shot of flavour to a tantalising encounter between the Rats and Dimboola at Dimboola this Saturday. Ararat had a humbling start to the season against Stawell and on a season take-two ran into a big, strong Minyip-Murtoa side. But the Rats showed glimpses of

potential against the Burras and took that a step further against the Demons last weekend with Liam Arnott leading the way and Tom Wills kicking three goals. Brody Griffin continued his solid form and Jake Williamson and Liam Spalding were prominent as Corey Taylor kicked three goals. The Rats run into an unbeaten Dimboola side that needed to produce a seven-goal third term to shrug off determined neighbour Nhill at Nhill. Dimboola has plenty of oomph with the influx of recruits topping up homegrown talent, but fans still remain unsure of the Roos’ potential. Last week it was Tom Cree, three goals, who topped an accolades list ahead of Matthew Rosier and powerful Jayden Lehmann. Jarryd Graham was also good. There’s an art to playing Dimboola’s bullet-shaped oval, but Ararat is a traditionally strong running side, which might counter the Roos’ advantage. While the action unfolds at Dimboola, fans will be listening closely for news out of Stawell’s Central Park where Stawell welcomes a Southern Mallee Giants team jubilant after last week’s success. There was no hiding the delight oozing out of the Beulah rooms after the Giants produced a memorable come-from-behind victory in front of an adoring home crowd.

The win came off the boot of star match-winner Brock Orval who kicked six goals and could have had more. Orval rates as one of the hardest players to beat one-on-one in the competition. He conspired with an invigorated group of team-mates, with Luke Mahony, Zac Robins, Rupert Sangster and Riley Cook all impressing. Stawell will go into the game having

dominated proceedings against a Warrack Eagles team struggling to find momentum. Warriors coach Tom Eckel led from the front for the winners, kicking four goals, but also had Cody Driscoll firing in front of the sticks and bagging eight. George Manton and Paul Summers also impressed as the Warriors kicked seven goals to two in the opening term

and pushed on to ultimately win by 100 points. Stawell will find the Giants a much harder egg to crack, regardless of playing at home. Warrack Eagles, with Daniel Bell taking the coaching reins from departing Zach Holmes who has shifted with work, will face a rebounding Horsham at Warracknabeal. The Eagles couldn’t keep up with the Warriors last week, but Jacob Sobey maintained his consistency and Charlie Penny and Phil Huebner attracted votes. Horsham would have been stung by the Ararat result, although the club would have been happy with Tyler Blake’s good form and impressed by the efforts of Hudson Hair and Brody Pope. Action will return to Coughlin Park in Horsham with Horsham Saints coming off a bye to meet Nhill. The Saints, one and one after three rounds, were too good for Horsham under lights last run and will want to resume a build-up in form. Winless Nhill’s showing against Dimboola last week, with Josh Jarred, Liam Albrecht and Fred Stephan winning best-player honours, more than suggested the Tigers are willing to have a crack. Minyip-Murtoa will lick a freshly opened wound with a bye.

ROUND ONE: Horsham College’s Girls Premier League football team will look to shake off a narrow loss to Sunbury when it meets Bendigo in round two of the School Sport Victoria competition. Horsham took a four-point lead into half time, but Sunbury outscored the home side in the second half to triumph 5.5 (35) to 3.8 (26). Defender Olivia Brilliant won best-onground accolades for Horsham alongside midfielders Jemma Thomas and Holly Nuske. Ailish Heard, Darcie Landrigan and Taya Keyte also impressed. Horsham College will host Bendigo in round two on May 12. The school’s boys team will launch its Premier League campaign against Catherine McAuley College, Bendigo, in Horsham today. The roundrobin competition culminates in a Herald Sun Shield finals series, with grand finals scheduled for August.

Giants set to test Warriors’ strength

tawell will face a tough assignment to bounce back against a potent Southern Mallee Giants when Wimmera netball league action continues this weekend.

The Warriors had a tight tussle with Warrack Eagles last week and need to respond on their home courts at Stawell to maintain confidence. Stawell gave the Eagles a head start last week and ultimately fell at the line as its opponents secured a 51-44 victory. It is something the team can’t afford to do again on Saturday. The Giants are coming off strong wins against the Eagles and Miny-

ip-Murtoa, beating the Burras 59-29 in a show of strength last week. Giants Steph Thomson and Zali Brown had a day out in the goals and will be looking for a repeat performance. At the same time, Stawell’s defensive end of Molly Orr, Lisa Fleming and Courtney McIlvride will need to limit the Giants’ opportunities. Warrack Eagles play Horsham and prompts the question how close can the Eagles get to the irrepressible Demons? Horsham remains the team to beat but one of Warrack Eagles’ strengths is remaining unfazed under pressure

as they keep chipping away at their opponents. Horsham scored a big 76-12 win over traditional rival Ararat last week and the Eagles goalies will need to combat the height and toughness of the Demons’ defenders. Megan Werner, lining up for her 250th game, is clever and experienced and her team-mates have come to depend on her reliability. The centre of the court will determine much of what happens. The Eagles can rotate Emma Koschitzke, Sarah Spicer and Ashlynn McKenzie without losing drive through the centre, while Horsham re-

lies on the likes of Georgie Carberry, Tamika Mentha and Jedda Heard to open opportunities for Emma Buwalda and Paula Wiedermann. Dimboola takes on Ararat in what should be an evenly matched contest at Dimboola. Both ends of the court will be subject to tight contests and it will be interesting to see which Dimboola defender lines up on the Rats’ Delaney McLoughlin. At the other end, Dimboola can usually rely on Nicole Polycarpou and Billie-Jo Barber for their accuracy. This is another contest that could come down to the centre of the court

where Ararat’s Jesse Bligh can be very determined and hard to shut down. Horsham Saints are back in action against Nhill indoors at Coughlin Park. Nhill has young players showing improvement each week, however the Saints should be too strong. Nhill junior Jenna Schneider has come up against some strong centre players and this week will be no different. It will be a good test of her skills in a battle against the Saints’ Ash Grace. Horsham Saints’ Jess Cannane is also a great defensive leader and Kiana Marshman is settling in well in the goal-keeper role.

SUCCESS: Wimmera Football Netball League representative netballers tasted success at a Golden City Tournament in Bendigo at the weekend. The league’s 17 and under outfit won its grand final by two goals, defeating Ballarat 12-10. The 13 and unders also won their decider, getting the better of Echuca Blue, 8-4, while the 15 and unders claimed runner-up honours in their grand final, falling short of Ballarat by 10 goals, 20-10. Horsham District league netballers also competed in Sunday’s annual competition. The 17 and under and 15 and under teams made the semi-finals, both falling short of victory by two goals. The league’s 13 and unders also made finals.

Building for big season BY SARAH MATTHEWS

hile reigning Horsham District A Grade premier Laharum is looking a step ahead of the competition, there is plenty of intrigue surrounding the rest of the top six.

Newcomer Kaniva-Leeor United is setting itself up as a threat, winning three of four matches, most recently against Natimuk United. The Cougars took a narrow three-goal lead into the first break. They put their foot down in the second term, shooting 18 goals to the Rams’ six, setting up the win, 57-26. Nikki Hawker finished the encounter with 44 goals, while defenders Emma Hawker and Elizabeth Hawker continued their strong starts to the season. Danielle Fleay and Cheryl Sudholz were the Rams’ best, both filling several positions on the court. The Rams were without defender Jo Taylor and would benefit from her services in a fortnight’s time when they take on second-placed Harrow-Balmoral. All teams have a bye this weekend. The Southern Roos continued their undefeated season in round four, but an improved Jeparit-Rainbow certainly made them work for it. Only one goal separated the teams at half time, with the Roos enjoying a stronger third quarter to set up a five-goal win, 52-47. The Storm rested key defender Penny

ON TARGET: Swifts’ Jade Ralph takes a shot at goal during Saturday’s clash with Pimpinio. Swifts won the match 47-26. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Fisher, who could be back the following week against Noradjuha-Quantong. The Bombers were too strong for Edenhope-Apsley last week, with Shannon Couch shooting 39 goals in a best-oncourt performance. Hallie Burgess also impressed through the midcourt, while defender Dulcie Shirrefs was again a key player for the Saints. Laharum recorded a clinical win over Kalkee, 66-24, with wing attack Erin Mellington winning the Michele Mibus Medallion in the memorial match. The Kees were best served by midcourter Millie McRae and Katie Ruwoldt. In the final match of the round, Swifts led at each change against Pimpinio to record a

21-goal victory. Jade Ralph, 26 goals, was on song for the home side, while Deni Sordello battled hard for the Tigers in defence. Results: Noradjuha-Quantong d Edenhope-Apsley 52-32; Harrow-Balmoral d Jeparit-Rainbow 52-47; Laharum d Kalkee 66-24; Swifts v Pimpinio 47-26; Kaniva-Leeor United d Natimuk United 57-26. Ladder: Laharum 16 points, 276.83; Harrow-Balmoral 16, 143.33; Jeparit-Rainbow 12, 147.97; Noradjuha-Quantong 12, 121.52; Kaniva-Leeor United 12, 115.97; Swifts 8, 125.00; Natimuk United 8, 101.59; Rupanyup 4, 91.47; Kalkee 4, 89.78; Edenhope-Apsley 4, 59.82; Pimpinio 0, 62.61.

Teams gripped in supremacy battle A race for top spot in Mininera and District Football League will gather pace this weekend as leading outfits attempt to consolidate strong starts to the season. Early ladder leaders Woorndoo-Mortlake, Tatyoon and Great Western are all unbeaten three games into the season with each facing different tests on Saturday. One of the biggest games of the weekend is a clash at Alexandra Oval in Ararat where Ararat Eagles will put Woorndoo-Mortlake’s form under the microscope. The Eagles, sitting fifth, overwhelmed Hawkesdale-Macarthur to the tune of 100 points last week, while the Tigers maintained their spotless form with a 90-point victory against Lismore-Derrinallum. Tatyoon meets old rival Wickliffe-Lake Bolac at Tatyoon after dispatching Penshurst by 45 points and Great Western, fresh from bowling over Wickliffe-Lake Bolac by 97 points, will attempt to flex its muscles against Hawkesdale-Macarthur. Moyston-Willaura, sitting

fourth, is also unbeaten, and after a 171-point mauling of Caramut turns its attention to SMW Rovers. Fans will gain greater understanding this weekend if the 2021 season has two clearly defined tiers in standard or whether other challengers are lurking on the ladder. Moyston-Willaura’s Zach Louder is generating plenty of discussion through the competition, his 20 goals so far representing an average of more than seven goals a game. Great Western’s Damon Folkes is not far behind with 18 and six and Woorndoo-Mortlake’s Jordan Buckley 17 at 5.67. Plenty of talk continues to surround the rise of Ararat Eagles, who with only a narrow loss against Great Western appear poised to have an arm-wrestle with their northwest neighbour throughout the season. In other games this weekend, Caramut will play Penshurst and Lismore-Derrinallum takes on Glenthompson-Dunkeld. – Dean Lawson

Hockey action continues at Dimboola F

BY SIMON KING

or the second week in a row, Wimmera hockey teams will battle on the synthetic pitch at Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre.

Although it is only the fourth round and there is still a long way to go in the season, several important games are scheduled. The open competition’s three games all have significance this week, with every team playing an opponent adjacent to them on the ladder. The top two teams, Yanac Tigers and Nhill Rangers, meet in a twilight game with the winner taking a clear lead on the ladder. The other two teams that make up the top four, Warrack Hoops and Kaniva Cobras, will both want a win when they clash to ensure they remain in the four and in touch with the leaders. Two teams yet to win a game this year, Dimboola Burras and Horsham Hurricanes, will also be playing to stay within reach of those above them. Last week, Yanac Tigers enjoyed one of their most significant victories in recent seasons, with a four-goal win over Warrack Hoops. After an even first half in which neither team scored, Oskar Bennett of the Hoops opened the scoring by converting a penalty corner two minutes after the break.

BIG CHASE: Blake Miller of Nhill Rangers, left, and James Paley, Dimboola Burras, in action at the weekend. Picture: SIMON KING

Ethan Anderson equalled the scores five minutes later and Bradley Alexander put the Tigers ahead soon after. Three more goals to the Tigers set their final total at five goals while restricting the Hoops to just one. Kaniva Cobras and Horsham Hurricanes also put on a memorable performance after both came into the game looking for their first win for 2021. It took until the last minute of the game to confirm who would take the points. In an even game, the Hurricanes

opened scoring 20 minutes into the game, establishing a lead that they took beyond the half-time break. The Cobras evened the scores eight minutes into the second half and with the game heading for a tie, a rebound from the Hurricanes goalkeepers’ pads in the last minute of the match and a quick return hit broke the deadlock. Improving Nhill Rangers scored three goals to Dimboola Burras’ one to record a comfortable win and move to second place on the ladder.

Women

Another top-of-the-table clash in a women’s division will be the feature game of the round. Yanac Women and Nhill Thunderbirds are showing good early season form to suggest this will be a close game. As with the equivalent clash in the open division, the winner will take the outright lead on the ladder and the bragging rights against an opponent that could stand between them and the 2021 premiership.

Neither Dimboola Roos nor Horsham Jets have tasted victory this year, so a good performance in their clash in the late game under lights could get their seasons back on track. Both squads feature match-winning players, so a significant factor will be the personnel each one puts on the field on Saturday evening. Last week Kaniva controlled most of the play in its encounter with Horsham Jets, scoring three times while keeping the Jets scoreless. In the other game, Dimboola Roos finished five goals behind the now second placed Nhill Thunderbirds.

Under-16

In the first under-16 game of the round, Kaniva Raiders and Warrack Revengers will be keen to record their first win for the season. Nhill Leopards, refreshed after a week off with a bye, have the daunting task of taking on the undefeated Yanac Warriors. A development program will feature three games involving the next generation of Wimmera hockey players in the 12.30pm time slot. Horsham Bombers continued to build on their impressive early season form last week with an eight-goal victory over Kaniva Raiders. Yanac Warriors are only two points behind after a solid six-goal win over Warrack Revengers.

A double chance BY DAVID BERRY

ith four rounds remaining in Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition the double chance goes on the line tonight, when Phantoms and Shados Inala feature in the match of the round. Phantoms sit in second spot on the ladder, three points clear of third-placed Shados Inala, with a win tonight effectively slamming the door shut on Shados Inala’s chances of grabbing the vital double chance come finals time. Phantoms will welcome back key pass-hitter Dimitrios Vettos, but a cloud hangs over the availability of key setter Kara Johnson, who injured a finger last week. If Johnson fails to get up for this game, the setting duties will fall onto the shoulders of Tyler Puls, which will be a big ask for the southpaw. Shados Inala will welcome back the big hitting Will Saligari. The high leaping youngster brings great enthusiasm and exuberance to his team, and with the inclusion over the past two weeks of the ever improving Ronan Garth-Lindsay, Shados Inala takes on a whole new complex to its line-up. Of course, sitting in the background is veteran Tim Popple,

who brings his team together, so a cracker of a game will kick-start the night. In other matches, Von Steiger Bloods do battle with Volleyroos. With Tim Carter set to resume his setting responsibilities for the Bloods, a much stronger team will take to the court. The Volleyroos will miss setter Kimberley Crabtree, but have a more than handy replacement in the multi-talented Jordy Weidemann. The final match sees ladder leaders Heidelberg take on fourth placed Pegasus, in a game that should see them consolidate top spot.

Other grades

In B Grade, the match of the night sees the battle between ladder leaders Waterhammers and Heidelberg Masters. These two teams have put a bit of a gap on the rest of the top six, so one will shore up its double chance with a win tonight. Michael Schneider and Chris Baker received the nod of the referee last week in their win over Von Steiger Bloods, so they go into the contest in good form. But Heidelberg Masters have their own twin towers in Paul Drendel and Vaughn Maroske firing, so this game prom-

ises to be a good contest. In other matches, the first game of the night sees Von Steiger Barbarians take on Von Steiger Boomers. The Barbarians pushed Heidelberg Masters all the way last week and are starting to show some form. Luke McCallum and Rod Kirkwood are the keys for the Barbarians. The Boomers slipped Josh Milbourne into their line up last week, and his athleticism and clever play helped the side to a solid win over stablemates Von Steiger Shadows. Parma Army should have little trouble putting Von Steiger Bloods away, while the Shadows should get back on the winners list when they take on Von Steiger Gangsters. Volleyball Horsham’s Spikezone program is now taking registrations. Volleyball’s version of Auskick, the program is aimed at eight to 11-year-olds and will be on Wednesday evenings at St Brigid’s College stadium, between 4.45pm and 5.45pm from next week. Participants are required to register at www.volleyballvictoria.com. au so their details are online to ensure they receive their Spikezone pack, which includes a backpack, ball, t-shirt and drink bottle.

$100K CLUB: Kerryn Manning drives Glenavril King to victory at Melton on Saturday night. Picture: STUART McCORMICK, HARNESS RACING VICTORIA

Dunns celebrate career-best win Horsham owners Barry and Yvonne Dunn on Saturday night celebrated the victory of their five-year-old gelding Glenavril King at Melton and subsequent admission into the $100K club with career earnings of $102,070. Drawn gate six over the sprint trip of 1720 metres, driver Kerryn Manning held her position early then edged her charge into the running line before finding cover, one-out-one-back as the bell sounded. Given his head at the 500-metre mark, Glenavril King shot clear turning for home and lasted to score by a half-neck from Assassinator – Scott Ewen – in the mile-rate of 1:54.7. In April 2019, Glenavril King debuted in a three-year-old pace at Mildura and finished a respectable fifth place with Aaron Dunn in the sulky. A month and three starts later the com-

bo saluted at Terang and that winter, the bay enjoyed a spell in the paddock. A return to the home track saw success in November and a number of minor placings. After an unlucky second at Terang in mid-March, Barry decided to send Glenavril King to the Manning-Campbell camp and just a few weeks later at Stawell, was rewarded with the start of a red-hot streak of five wins and a second from six starts. After another break, Glenavril King returned to racing in November 2020. Towards the end of January a trio of confidence-boosting victories at Stawell, Maryborough and Melton led to another win at harness headquarters in March and then four starts later, on Saturday night to a career-best performance. – Tony Logan

Queens trump king T

BY KEITH LOFTHOUSE

hree queens trumped the king in Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club’s 15th running of its three-kilometre King of the Hill event at Ararat on Sunday. Sixteen-year-old Gabe Tonks was first to the top of One Tree Hill in the sparkling time of 17.40 minutes to claim the title, but once handicaps were applied three strong girls filled the podium for the very first time in this unique and challenging event. When debutante Tessa Thompson reached the timekeepers, she had just seven seconds to spare from Rhonda Rice in her best finish in her 10th attempt to win the race. Completing the femme trifecta was Paula Pettingill who limped away with a bloodied ankle. She brushed off the pain declaring: “If you run through it you don’t feel it.” It was no fluke that king Tonks and queens Thompson and Pettingill had trialled on that unforgiving hill in the days before the race to

claim sash, trophy and prize. The winner’s husband, Mark Thompson, had remarkably imposed his own 40-kilogram handicap, pushing a pram loaded with the couple’s two young kids up that torturous hill with seven athletes still behind him. “I met and married a gifted runner so I suppose I was destined to try to be one myself,” Tessa said. “I only really set out to achieve personal-best times. I haven’t wanted to run a marathon because I think they take too much of a toll on your body.” Adrian Van Raaphorst’s 600th run with the club, almost 41 years to the day of his debut, did not end in a fairytale but he did finish in the top 10 to warm applause from clubmates as he crossed the line. The Van hasn’t missed a single King of the Hill, and he of course, has that honour to himself. The club has a Mother’s Day bye before venturing to Rhymney for the 6.5-kilometre Reynolds Family Handicap on Sunday, May 16.

Melissa wins maiden Stawell club race Melissa Fletcher won Stawell Amateur Athletics Club’s seven-kilometre race on Saturday in her first club run. The Fletcher family joined the club at the start of the season, with Melissa’s son Louis and daughter Sophie running in the sub-juniors. “I wasn’t expecting that I would be able to run that far. I ran the entire way as I thought if I stopped to walk, I would struggle to start running again,” Fletcher said after her win. She finished three minutes

ahead of Claire Davies and five minutes in front of thirdplaced Belinda Amess. “I was very thankful for the generous handicap for my first run,” Fletcher said. “It’s such a great club. It felt special to be able to run in a club started in 1966 by Keith Haymes, and it’s lovely to see Keith at the club runs.” A large field contested the sub-junior race, with Nash Santuccione posting the fastest time of 4:37. Hunter Davies claimed the

win, Flynn Davies came second and Colten Kenny, third. A group of members have joined ‘The May 50K’ challenge to raise money for the fight against MS. The club will host a morning tea and raffle after the race on May 15, with money raised going to a ‘Kiss Goodbye to MS’ organisation. Members and fun runners are to meet at Rupanyup Recreation Reserve at 9:30am on Saturday for registration. – Nathan Baker
