ALL ABOARD? Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Mark Radford raises his hat to mark the 140th anniversary of rail services to Horsham during a re-enactment at Horsham Railway Station. Cr Radford played the role of Cr Ambrose Walter, who with his wife Mary Anne Walter, played by Sue Exell, right, joined Governor Sir George Ferguson Bowen and Lady Diamantina Bowen, aka Jack and Jan Janetzki, for the opening of the Horsham railway line on February 5, 1879. At the time, more than 5000 people attended the opening, celebrating with a street procession, dinner, ball and public holiday. Cr Radford said the re-enactment was a reminder of how important rail was and is to Horsham and the Wimmera. “Our growing regional city needs a train service to support social and economic access and connectivity,” he said. Cr Radford has appealed to the State Government for a short-term, standard-gauge passenger shuttle service between Horsham and Ararat and to fund a business case for a Western Rail alliance project, which includes track upgrades and passenger trains to Horsham and Hamilton. Horsham’s last V/Line daily train service ran on August 21, 1993. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Rates scrutiny W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera farmer leaders have tentatively welcomed the direction of a Horsham Rural City Council draft rates plan.

But they remain firm that further analysis and work is required to establish equity between community sectors shouldering the rates burden. Victorian Farmers Federation Wimmera branch members made their position clear on rates at an annual meeting in Horsham on Monday night. Branch immediate past president and Wallup farmer Daniel Keam said Horsham district farmers would continue to pursue a ‘fair and equitable’ direction and outcome on municipal rates. “We believe the farming sector still carries too much of the rates burden,

but the Horsham draft rates plan is a small step in the right direction,” he said. A Horsham draft Rating Strategy 2019-2023 now available for public feedback includes a farm-sector differential change from 80 to 67 percent of the general rate. Horsham Rural City Council has placed the draft Rating Policy and draft Rating Strategy on public exhibition and invited submissions. The draft rating plan also includes establishing a 95 percent differential of the general rate for commercial and industrial sectors; reducing a flat municipal charge per property from $287 to $200; applying a $30 rebate per property for eligible pensioners in addition to a state-funded pensioner

rebate; and applying a Differential Review Trigger of plus or minus five percent relative to property valuation movement per sector. The draft strategy is based on an evaluation of recommendations from a rates strategy advisory committee. Mr Keam said Wimmera VFF branch would recommend the council maintain a flat municipal charge at $287 instead of reducing it to $200. “The municipal charge is a flat rate across the board where everyone pays the same and as such would help to reduce the rate burden overall,” he said. “Horsham’s rates plan is far from perfect, but I don’t think anything ever will be when it comes to rates. “It has established a position that brings everyone to the table and ac-

knowledges what the VFF and ratepayers have been advocating for the past 10 months.” Mr Keam said most people at the meeting were dumbfounded, believing what the council had presented as a rates solution was ‘the same’ that had been suggested almost a year ago. “The feeling was that establishing a committee to come up with the same formula that had gone before council previously had been a waste of money. Information from the meeting was that it had cost $70,000,” he said. “There was general amazement at this. Ultimately, we will continue to lobby for representation in the rates debate and believe there is an opportunity to improve the rates-burden equity even more.”

Mr Keam said it was important for municipal and government leaders to get the rates formula right as part of an overall reconnection between rural and urban ratepayers. “There is a growing disconnect between sectors,” he said. “It is important we work hard to re-establish crucial ties. Communities and sectors rely heavily on each other to be progressive and healthy.” Wimmera branch members also dealt with other general business at the meeting, which included the election of new president Graeme Maher, from Lubeck. Mr Keam, president for the past four years, said Mr Maher was well respected in the farming industry and was an ideal person for the job.

Hurry-up call for highway project A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Wimmera municipal leader has called for the state and-or federal governments to ‘get back on track’ and complete a dual-carriageway on the Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell. Northern Grampians mayor Kevin Erwin, of Stawell, said he welcomed developments allowing work to proceed between Buangor and Ararat. But he stressed the project was now three years behind schedule and in desperate need of money. Cr Erwin said he was pleased work could proceed after the State Government responded to Aboriginal community concerns by changing a highway-duplication route. “Work can now finally start again –

it’s been a long and arduous road with not much happening,” he said. “The project was launched at the start of the decade and supposed to be completed in 2016. But it’s half-built and three-years behind.” Cr Erwin, also on a municipal Western Highway Action Committee involving councils from across western Victoria, said there was still a need for pre-construction money for an Ararat to Stawell section of the project. “Hopefully that will be forthcoming. Much of the money that was available ran out last month,” he said. “There is an absolute need to get on with it. The Western Highway is the second busiest highway in Victoria, second only to the Hume, and this project needs to get back on track and make up for lost time.

“The powers that be need to shore up the money needed and get this thing built.” The federal and state governments committed $672.3-million for the highway duplication between Ballarat and Stawell to improve road safety across Western Victoria. The Federal Government provided $501.3-milllion and the State Government $171-million. “There’s not a cent available yet for any work between Ararat and Stawell. It’s been very frustrating,” Cr Erwin said.

Design changes

The State Government confirmed this week it had worked with the Aboriginal community to complete dual-carriageway alignment design changes to ensure the retention of two

culturally significant trees east of Ararat. The realignment includes about one kilometre of ‘localised’ design changes to avoid the two trees. Victorian Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said work would recommence progressively along the alignment, adding the project had overwhelming support from the district community and that it would provide a vital boost to the regional economy. “We understand how important these trees are to the Indigenous community, which is why we’ve listened and made these changes to the Western Highway alignment to retain them,” she said. “We’ve worked through this issue at every level and, with cultural and environmental sensitivities firmly in

Haven reflects Community leaders have invited people to make the most of remembrance rails at Haven, south of Horsham, to acknowledge ‘someone or something’ special. They have invited people to either consider or look beyond Black Saturday fires for which the rails were built, for reasons to attach a personal lock to the structure. Haven Community Enterprise chairwoman Sue Exell said Governor Linda Dessau’s unveiling of the community rails at the weekend was a major highlight of commemorative activities marking 10 years since fires ravaged the district. “It went really well,” she said. “The Governor and her husband Tony Howard both attached locks to the rails, followed by Horsham mayor Mark Radford and mayor of the time Bernard Gross. “We then invited the public to do the same. “It was just a special way of acknowledging the occasion and all that’s happened and it was lovely to see the locks sparkling with their yellow ribbons.” Mrs Exell said the rails were for more than simply reflecting on the bushfire

and its impact in the community. “They are for anyone who would like to remember someone or something special – and they’re not just for Haven people,” she said. “The impact of the fire is just one of many occasions or circumstances for which people might want to reflect. “It’s for anyone who feels a need. We already have about 50 locks.” Mrs Exell said commemorative activities went well and reflected how the community had moved forward. “The governor spoke beautifully, as did Cr Radford. Both spoke from the heart, which was lovely,” she said. “It was an acknowledgement of a day that many people want to forget. “It was life changing for many, especially people who lost homes. “Just about everyone has a story about that day.” The activities were part of statewide anniversary events surrounding the 2009 fires. Of the 11 homes burnt down during the Horsham fire, seven were at Haven. The toll also included Horsham Golf Club, several damaged houses and the loss of outbuildings, sheds, fences, livestock and pets.

mind, work will now recommence on this long-awaited project.” Ms Allan said the project area between Ararat and Buangor had been subject to comprehensive planning, which had included an independent Environment Effects Statement and Cultural Heritage Management Plan which obtained approval in accordance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act. During the past five years there have been 92 crashes on the Western Highway between Ballarat and Stawell, including 10 fatalities and 50 serious injuries. Major Road Projects Victoria is in charge of the highway duplication project. Cr Erwin said he was trying to arrange a meeting with Ms Allan.

Producers of the film The Dry are yet to officially confirm Minyip as a filming location despite months of speculation they will use the town’s Club Hotel. In December, The Weekly Advertiser reported a production crew had been in discussions with the hotel’s owner about the possibility of filming in the town. The hotel gained national prominence as a setting for the 1980s-90s television series The Flying Doctors. Minyip’s Emma’s Café owner Dale Maggs said a production crew had visited the town on multiple occasions and was keen to use the hotel in the film. The film, based on a novel of the same name by Jane Harper, will star Australian icon Eric Bana. Bana is also an executive producer for the project. He visited Minyip and other locations in the Wimmera and Mallee in early December. A member of the production team said filming locations had yet to be finalised. “We’re still locking in locations at the minute,” she said. “We are driving around doing that. I think we’re getting close to finalising it.” The Dry’s media manager Fiona Nix said she did not have a list of planned filming locations and that filming dates had also not been finalised. She said producers were unlikely to publicise filming times or locations to avoid compromising the film. “With a project like The Dry, it is imperative that we shoot in regional Victoria. “If we’re shooting exterior locations and people know that we’re shooting there, it will be a really difficult environment for us to shoot in. “We have to protect it so we can have those big, wide shots without other people being in them.” Film Victoria estimated the production would inject $1.2-million into regional Victoria and create 162 jobs for Victorian crewmembers. – Colin MacGillivray

Hermans part of TV series

n iconic Horsham retail business is set to find its way into the national spotlight as part of a Channel 7 television documentary series.

Homeware, kitchen essentials and gift specialist Hermans, trading from Horsham’s Firebrace Street for more than 50 years, is one of six retail stores from across Australia set to feature on ‘Bricks and Clicks’. David Koch’s Pinstripe Media has launched the series, which will follow the transformation of ‘bricks and mortar’ stores into global e-commerce brands. Store managers involved in the series will be the subject of hands-on mentoring, including two intensive workshops at International Towers at Bangararoo in New South Wales, to help ‘supercharge’ their businesses through online marketing. Camera crews have been busy visiting business owners for before-and-after-transformation shoots and Hermans has already been in front of the camera. Hermans business manager Ray Hermans said a phone call from show producers had caught him by surprise. “We were nominated by someone who knew our business and I really didn’t know much about it. I thought I was being cold-called by someone selling promotions,” he said. “It was nice to be nominated, but another thing altogether to be chosen for something like this. “One of the producers said they had spoken to people in the industry and thought we would be a good match for what they were looking for. “They were looking for well-established bricks and mortar stores that didn’t have a strong or established e-commerce side of the business.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE: Ray Hermans from Horsham business Hermans chats with Pinstripe Media production head Moira Geddes as Lynton Brown operates the camera during a shoot for television documentary series Bricks and Clicks. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “While we have a large geographical footprint and a diversity of clients, we don’t service a large population and don’t have an online store.”

Ideal

Pinstripe Media production head Moira Geddes said Hermans was an ideal business to feature in the series. “We loved the fact it has been in operation and serving the community for more than 50 years,” she said. “We also loved that it was in a rural community and that the business could be even more successful through e-commerce and the internet. We want to show regional businesses are far from limited by being a rural player. Nowadays with e-commerce, the sky’s the limit.” Mr Hermans said what was appealing, apart from increasing the business profile beyond Horsham district, was that it would be a posi-

tive way of promoting what Horsham and the Wimmera had to offer. “I thought this was an outstanding opportunity to examine the business from a completely different perspective – to put our business under a magnifying glass, to look at what else we could pursue,” he said. “We’re always looking to improve, but in this case it’s about exploring something outside what we would normally be doing. “I’m really happy they have made a point of shooting a lot of local content from the district. “I’m a little bit nervous, but excited at the same time about the potential it might offer – not only for our business but our community as a whole.” Ray and his wife Lisa will travel to Sydney in the next few weeks to take part in the mentoring workshops. He said he expected the series to air some time during February-March.

Ray’s parents Dick and Ann started the Hermans business, initially providing interior-decorating products and advice. Ann is still heavily involved in the business. Small-business expert and media personality David Koch, who has already hosted Kochie’s Business Builders, will also host Bricks and Clicks. He said the series participants’ digital journey would provide inspiration for other business owners to follow suit. “Their experience will show others it’s not that hard, it’s not as expensive as you think and it will future proof and supercharge your business,” he said. “The biggest barrier to Australian businesses getting online is fear – fear of the complexity, fear of finding someone to trust to help, fear of the high expenses. Our aim is to prove these fears are myths.”

Assistant commissioner at Blue Ribbon dinner Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Ross Guenther will be guest speaker at a Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham Branch dinner on February 16. He will join other dignitaries, guests and patrons during the dinner at Coughlin Park in Horsham from 6.30pm. Assistant Commissioner Guenther joined Victoria Police in 1985. His professional experience encompasses the leadership and management of teams across investigative, general policing, specialist

operations and business environments. He has a master’s degree in criminology, along with professional qualifications in project, business, training and strategic-management streams. He has also overseen education programs for various tertiary institutions in recent years. As a commissioned officer, Assistant Commissioner Guenther has managed and led successful change-management programs across Victoria Police’s Centre for Investigator Training, Airlie Leader-

ship Development Centre, Security Services Division and as a divisional manager within the Southern Metropolitan Region. In 2015, he won promotion to the rank of Assistant Commissioner and leads Victoria Police Counter Terrorism Command. In June 2016 he received the Australian Police Medal as part of Queen’s Birthday honours. Patrons at the dinner will sit down to a four-course meal presented by chef Chris Seers, matched with district wine.

The dinner recognises the contribution and sacrifice of Victorian police officers, past and present, while raising money for Wimmera Health Care Group. People keen to attend can call Kelly Schilling on 0437 894 257 or email brfhorsham@gmail.com. People can also inquire at ACE Radio Broadcasters Horsham office. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are major sponsors of Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham.

Council moves on fire risks Property owners who have ignored fire-prevention notices will have to pay contractors’ fees, with Ararat Rural City Council starting mandatory clean-ups this week. Under Country Fire Authority regulations, the council has a legal obligation to reduce the risk of fire. This means each year the council’s fire-prevention officers inspect properties across the municipality. Chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the council issued properties assessed as having high fuel loads with a fire-prevention notice that obligated them to remove hazards such as long grass, stockpiles of materials and other flammable debris. “Property owners are given 21 days to comply with the notice and if they fail to do so, they are fined up to $1600,” he said. “Under the act, it’s also mandatory for the council to remove the fire hazards on these properties, and we have engaged contractors to start this work. “Council will then recoup the cost of that work from the property owner. “Only eight properties out of 142 that received fire-prevention notices require the mandatory clean-ups, which is a great result and shows most people are aware of their responsibilities.” Dr Harrison said fire-prevention officers would also start a second round of inspections this week and issue further fire-prevention notices as necessary. People seeking more information can call the council on 5355 0200.

New pontoon Rower and community access to the Wimmera River at Dimboola will become easier and safer with work set to start on a project to replace a fixed ramp with a new floating pontoon. The new pontoon is designed to provide better river access for boat users, including Dimboola Rowing Club, regardless of water level and to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, through the State Government’s Boosting Recreation Water Use program, the rowing club and Hindmarsh Shire Council, have provided money for the project. The new pontoon will also represent a welcome upgrade for Wimmera and visiting rowers who take part in the Dimboola Rowing Regatta in November each year. The new pontoon measures almost 40 metres in length and sits 100 millimetres above the water line. People will gain access by two, five-metre gangways, with rowers able to safely carry their racing shells to the water on non-slip decking panels. Rowing club spokesman Mick Salter said the club was extremely grateful for the support from Wimmera CMA and the council. “Our new user-friendly and much safer pontoon will be a reality within a few months,” he said.

Spotlight on Horsham’s early maternal child health nurses The pioneering roles of Horsham’s early maternal and child health nurses will be the focus of this month’s celebrations marking one year since the Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub opened its doors. Inez Wilson, Alma Clare Noske and Coo Duncan Higginson were all instrumental in the foundation of maternal and child health services in Horsham. The trio each has a room named in their honour at the Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub and their legacies are the subject of a morning tea at the Hub on Friday 8 February at 10am. Recollections and items such as photographs gathered on Friday will then form part of an official Children’s Hub one-year celebration on Friday 15 February.

Alma Clare Noske is one of three Horsham nurses to be discussed at a morning tea on Friday.

Manager Community Services and Emergency Mandi Stewart said anybody with stories to share or an interest in the history of the maternal and child health in Horsham was encouraged to attend Friday’s morning tea.

Liquor licensing seminar to benefit localsports clubs

“We have had support to locate relatives of all three women and some have been able to provide photos, but more knowledge is sought on their careers and lives,” Ms Stewart said. “Their careers had had a positive impact on so many Horsham families.”

Learn more about Community Grants Community groups in the Horsham district are being invited to learn more about Council’s Community Development Grants program. Three 30-minute Information Sessions will be held in the Council’s reception room on Tuesday 12 February from 7pm and Wednesday 13 February at 12noon and 1pm. At the sessions, group representatives can access assistance with filing their grants applications and other general information. The program is open for applications until February 28.

Nurse Higginson, a WWI servicewoman, was a key figure in the establishment of Horsham’s first ever baby health centre in 1936 and infant numbers attending increased from 39 to 164 in her first year. Advice to mothers covered diet, digestion, general health precautions and Ms Higginson also arranged to have the city’s milk supply tested regularly at the butter factory to ensure that the tuberculosis virus was not carried. Alma Clare Noske worked at the Robert Avenue Horsham Infant Welfare Centre from 1942 until her death in a car accident in 1957. Long-time Horsham resident Inez Wilson, who served as a nurse in WWII, took over the reins and forged an esteemed 20-year career before her retirement in 1976.

Licensed sporting clubs throughout the Wimmera can keep on top of liquor licence requirements at a Good Sports seminar at Horsham RSL Club on Tuesday 12 February from 7pm to 9pm. Horsham Rural City Council is providing the event free of charge to sporting clubs and organisations within the region. The seminar will include a liquor licence information session for committee members and volunteers responsible for serving liquor at sporting clubs. It will be presented by Good Sports First Step presenter Ian Fechner, Acting Police Inspector Clare Murphy and Licencing Sergeant Michael Salter. Director Community Wellbeing Kevin O’Brien said the event would cover a range of topics including responsible service of alcohol training, duty of care, server liability and under-age issues. “We want our clubs to be fully informed of how they can implement a harm minimisation approach to the service of alcohol,” Mr O’Brien said. “It is important for sports clubs to come to the seminars each year as liquor licensing laws may change.” Sgt Salter said all sports clubs in the region should make the time to attend the session. “Whether or not sporting clubs participate, sends police a message about how serious they are about their liquor license,” Sgt Salter said. “Those who are not at forum are much more likely to see us at their club,” he said. To find out more information or to register contact Council on 5382 9777.

Get moving on highway project W

aiting, waiting, waiting! Anyone who travels regularly through the region on the Western Highway would understand the frustration of motorists using this busy corridor.

If you are heading west from Melbourne towards the South Australian border, the drive is a comfortable dual-carriageway cruise – until just before Ararat. If you are heading east from the west Wimmera, the drive can be everything from easy and relaxed to annoying and downright dangerous depending on circumstance or timing.

The State Government has announced changes to a dual-carriageway route for the Western Highway, making cultural allowances involving Aboriginal concerns so work can proceed between Beaufort and Ararat. Good. Finally. Can we now please move the project along at a pace that is acceptable for a modern state and country? Our great Australian mate ‘Blind Freddy’ long ago spotted a need for a hurry-up to establish a dual-carriageway highway between Melbourne and Adelaide. We’re seeing it gradually happen – but it is all moving at what seems to

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson, editor

be at a snail’s pace, with everything from project identification and funding allocations to actually getting the project done. Political discussion involving the dual-carriageway highway project at the moment involves a Melbourne to Stawell section. The section from Ballarat to Stawell

has a price tag of $672.3-million, which includes $501.3 from the Federal Government and $171-million from the State Government. But the last time we looked, progress work was a long way from being anywhere near Stawell. Is it going to happen or not? And what about after Stawell? Will we be content to leave a job unfinished? Communities along the Western Highway have for a few years now been busy debating bypass routes, truck detours and the potential impact highway changes might have on their centres. They have looked at plans, attended

information sessions and contemplated the future. This is all good and well, but many are none the wiser about when a dualcarriageway highway, an accepted norm for busy transport routes in other parts of Australia, might one day ease travelling conditions in the Wimmera. We understand there are all sorts of geographical, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural issues to address when constructing major infrastructure. But there are only so many excuses for dragging the chain.

Mallee candidates lining up The number of candidates for the seat of Mallee continues to grow, with speculation mounting about the level of choice voters will face in the approaching Federal Election. Five candidates have so far announced their intentions to run for the seat, which the Nationals’ Andrew Broad vacated as part of his decision to leave parliament. While Mildura deputy mayor and independent Jason Modica is the latest candidate to

join the field, the Liberal Party, which called for pre-selection nominations last month, has yet to announce a candidate. The Greens have also announced intentions to run a candidate and Labor has yet to make any announcement regarding the seat. Lydia Senior stood for Labor against Andrew Broad in the 2016 election, attracting 18,742 or 21.4 percent of first-preference votes and finishing with 28.7 percent of the

vote after distribution of preferences. Helen Healy stood for the Greens. Mr Modica joins fellow independent and Wimmera farmer Ray Kingston, the Nationals’ Anne Webster, Chris Lahy from the Citizens Electoral Council and Leigh Firman, Science Party. In the 2016 Federal Election the electorate of Mallee, a historically safe Nationals seat, had five candidates.

Ride co-ordinator Dianne Radford said 375 riders braved hot conditions to take part in the 175kilometre event at the weekend. The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat branch runs the event in acknowledgement of Victoria police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The event also raises money for East Grampians Health Services and expectations are that this READY TO ROLL: From left, Terry Weeks, Heather Fleming, Jenny Davis and Ararat year’s ride raised about $10,000. “We had more than 250 riders mayor Peter Beales prepare to wave on riders in Ararat at the 11th annual Grampians Ride to Remember. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER who pre-booked and most came,

but we were down on registrations on the day, mainly due to extreme conditions keeping many local riders away,” Mrs Radford said. “We were extremely pleased with the ride itself. There were no incidents, we had great feedback and it was an all-round great effort from volunteers. “An Arrive Together… Ride Together dinner at Ararat RSL attracted close to 100 people and was a great success, and Lake Bolac kindergarten group did a great job in providing morning tea. We were very impressed.” Mrs Radford said the ride was growing, with many riders returning annually and bringing freinds. “We will have a debrief in the

next couple of weeks where we will set a date for next February’s ride,” she said. “We’re in discussions with East Grampians Health Service and the money we’ve raised will go towards a new project which will complement medical imaging areas.” Wimmera Superintendent Paul Margetts represented Victoria Police at the ride, leading a minute’s silence in memory of fallen officers. ACE Radio, through The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM, was a major sponsor of the event, alongside Shannon’s Insurance, Wimmera Motorcycle Co and Ararat RSL.

Fishing bonanza A

BY COLIN MACGILLIVRAY

new array of prizes for competitors will be one of the drawcards at next month’s Horsham Fishing Competition.

The competition, which attracts anglers from across Victoria and interstate to Horsham, will be on Sunday, March 10. Whoever reels in the heaviest eligible fish during competition will have a choice between a new Kia Rio car and a five-night barramundi fishing trip for two people in the Tiwi Islands. Second prize is a Savage 3.6-metre boat, fourstroke Tohatsu motor and trailer valued at $6870 and third prize is a Portland tuna fishing charter for eight people worth $3200. Organisers have also reintroduced a club challenge, with contestants able to nominate a club they wish to represent when registering. The club with the heaviest total bag will win $2000 cash. Club members are not required to fish in the same place. A heaviest carp section, sponsored by Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, will offer prizes ranging from $1500 to $250 for the five heaviest carp hooked in competition. For the first time, any junior fisher who catches a fish over 30 centimetres will get a prize. Competition chairwoman Adele Rhode said the revamped prize pool was in response to feedback from previous years. “We received feedback from previous competitions that kids would sometimes get confused about the difference between a good fish and a bad fish and wonder why they weren’t getting a prize,” she said. Mrs Rhode said competition organisers had worked with Wimmera CMA to ensure this year’s event would run smoothly. “We have worked with the Wimmera CMA to understand challenges with environmental flows,” she said. “We received negative feedback last year, with people asking us why more water was released

into the river. The Wimmera CMA told us the increase in water levels before last year’s competition was an unfortunate mistake, and they have been open to feedback about water levels. “Contestants shouldn’t see an increase in water levels between now and the competition. “There should be ideal fishing conditions this year.” Mrs Rhode said organisers had also worked with Wimmera CMA to develop an interactive map for competitors showing camping and fishing areas. “No other competition I have come across has this kind of resource,” she said. “It will be a huge help not only to contestants, but emergency services as well. “It could revolutionise the competition and holds real potential for the future. “It could lead to an online booking system rather than the way we currently do it with stakes.” Mrs Rhode said making the event family-friendly was also a focus for the committee. A free children’s fishing clinic will be at Horsham Angling Club on March 9, with activities including face painting and a jumping castle. There will be free camping at Horsham Showgrounds from March 7 to 11, allowing competitors to spend the Labour Day long weekend in Horsham. “The competition provides a huge economic boost to the town,” Mrs Rhode said. “Most of the competitors are from out of town, and if anything we have seen more out of town competitors and fewer locals in the past few years. “With all the events that are on during the weekend, we are encouraging people to take it as an opportunity to be a tourist in their own backyard rather than taking time off to go elsewhere.” The Weekly Advertiser is again major sponsor of the event.

Custom-made hearing aids can help you enjoy social gatherings again Summer is a time for many social gatherings and an opportunity to connect with family and friends. It is during these gatherings that people often realise that their hearing is not what it used to be and they struggle to hear in situations with background noise, have to ask people to repeat themselves or keep getting told off for having the TV or radio up too loud.

HEARING LOSS SPECIALISTS: Founders of HearClear Audiology from left to right, Robert Vinci (Adelaide Metro & Riverland), Andrej Kammer (Adelaide Metro and Pt Augusta), Ben Wood (SE SA & SW Vic)

If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Hearing loss is one of the most common health conditions among Australians, with more than 3.55 million people experiencing some level of hearing loss. Good hearing is essential for engagement with others, but hearing loss is not just an ear issue. It is a quality of life and health issue and the effects of untreated hearing loss are surprising. Recent scientific studies indicate some alarming results: • Adults with a hearing loss experience a 30-40% faster decline in cognitive abilities compared with peers without hearing loss. • Adults with untreated hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia. • Adults with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety and paranoia than peers who wore hearing aids. • Older adults with impaired hearing might have a shorter life span than their peers without hearing problems. • People with mild hearing loss are three times more likely to have a history of falling. • People with untreated hearing loss can expect to suffer losses in compensation due to under-employment, they also have a higher unemployment rate. • People with low-frequency hearing loss are con-

sidered at risk for cardiovascular events. The good news is that all the studies showed significant improvement for people who treated their hearing loss. It has been well documented in recent years that wearing hearing aids greatly reduces the risk of cognitive decline associated with hearing loss, thus reducing the severity or delaying the development of dementia. Modern day hearing aids come in many shapes, sizes, colours and levels of technology. Hearing aids can go virtually unnoticed, as some are so small that

they fit into the ear canal. This means that people can go about their daily lives without others even noticing that they are wearing hearing aids. For a LIMITED time HearClear Audiology is offering the discreet WIDEX UNIQUETM 50 Completely-In-Canal (CIC) custom built hearing aids FREE to eligible pensioners and DVA card holders (usually involves a top-up payment of $1,060 per pair). Despite their small size there is no compromise in sound quality, and each device is custom made with computer-aided design to fit in your ear canal to ensure excellent

comfort. If by chance the WIDEX UNIQUETM 50 hearing aids are not suited to your needs, HearClear Audiology also offers a range of alternative brands and hearing aid styles at “no cost” to eligible pensioners and DVA card holders and competitive pricing for our private clients. To make an obligation-free appointment in Horsham or at one of our other convenient locations, please contact HearClear Audiology on 08 8762 3262.

Pioneering maternal health nurses launch celebrations

CHILD HEALTH: A historic photograph shows mothers and children at Horsham Infant Welfare CentreHorsham RSL.

Kingston calls for basin action

ndependent candidate for the Federal seat of Mallee Ray Kingston has called for a Federal Royal Commission into the implementation of the Murray Darling Basin Plan. Mr Kingston, a former Yarriambiack Shire mayor, said he believed communities had lost faith in the plan and a Federal Royal Commission would prevent further damage to the basin and address concerns. He said one of the ways forward in resolving issues was ensuring none of the 450 gigalitres proposed for the environment in the next phase of the plan should come from Mallee electorate irrigators. “Both the current Liberal-National government and the former Labor government have let down basin communities, and Australia as a whole, in their implementation and oversight of the plan,” he said. He said as a farmer, he understood the vital role water played in Australia, adding that sustainability of food security, the environment and regional economies were keys for a stable and prosperous nation. “Water is Australia’s most precious natural resource and it is imperative that we find a way forward to provide security for the future of regional communities, agriculture and the environment,” he said.

“River communities in the Mallee and the irrigation that underpins their economies are efficient and ethical users of water and have born their fair share of economic hardship caused by the implementation of the plan. “I know they are not alone in this, but it is clear to me in representing these communities that they have suffered enough.” Mr Kingston said river communities, journalists and the federal productivity commission’s recent report, had raised legitimate concerns about the implementation of the plan. “These include undue political influence, a lack of transparency and consultation, questionable use of science, limited capacity to monitor and enforce physical restraints issues, compromised environmental implementations and in some cases overtly negative environmental outcomes, conflicts of interest within the authority’s roles and enormous damage to certain regional economies,” he said. “Responses by political parties thus far have been transparently opportunistic and self-serving. A way forward must be found that removes any hint of political influence or opportunism. “To help find a way forward, restore faith, and to prevent any further triple bottom line damage to the basin, I am calling for a Federal Royal Commission with sufficiently broad scope to get to the bottom of all of these concerns.”

The pioneering roles of Horsham’s early maternal and child health nurses will be the focus of celebrations marking one year since Horsham’s Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub opened its doors. Inez Wilson, Alma Clare Noske and Coo Duncan Higginson were all major contributors in the foundation of maternal and child health services in Horsham. The women each have a room named in their honour at the community hub and their legacies will be the subject of a morning tea on Friday at 10am. Recollections and items such as photographs gathered on Friday will form part of an official children’s hub one-year celebration on February 15. Horsham Rural City Council Community Services and Emergency manager Mandi Stewart encouraged anybody with stories to share or an interest in the nurses or the history of maternal and child health in Horsham to attend Friday’s event. “We have had support to locate relatives of all three women and some have been able to provide photos, but more

knowledge is sought on their careers and lives,” Ms Stewart said. “Their careers had a positive impact on so many Horsham families.” Nurse Coo Duncan Higginson, a First World War servicewoman, was a key figure in the establishment of Horsham’s first baby health centre in 1936. Infant numbers attending increased from 39 to 164 in her first year. Advice to mothers covered diet, digestion and general health precautions. Ms Higginson also arranged regular testing of the city’s milk supply at Horsham butter factory to ensure it was free of the tuberculosis virus. Alma Clare Noske worked at the Roberts Avenue Horsham Infant Welfare Centre from 1942 until her death in a car accident in 1957. Long-time Horsham resident Inez Wilson, a Second World War nurse, took the reins and forged an esteemed 20-year career before her retirement in 1976.

Ethan taking each day in his stride BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham’s Ethan Jolley is a problem solver.

The 19-year-old refuses to let anything stand in his way – not even cancer. In 2016, while in year 11 at Horsham’s St Brigid’s College, Ethan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He endured six months of chemotherapy treatment, travelling to Ballarat every fortnight for appointments. While many people would view cancer as a life-altering experience, Ethan simply saw it as a roadblock – another problem to overcome. “They caught it really early, so the prognosis was good,” he said. “I took it on my chin and went with it and accepted that I was diagnosed with cancer. “I didn’t let it stop me do the things I wanted to do. “Yes, I lost my hair and looked a bit different, but my mental attitude and the way I went about things was the same. “I wasn’t locking myself in a room and feeling sad for myself, I just said, ‘that’s life. Let’s push on and beat it’.” Ethan responded well to the treatment and was clear of any signs of cancer by November 2016. So, when he encountered another of life’s roadblocks the next year, he tackled it with the same problem-solving attitude. Ethan applied to join the Australian Defence Force in 2017 while completing year 12. He had dreamed of joining the defence force since he was a child,

inspired by the service of two great-grandparents and several other family members. But when he applied to join he was knocked back because of concerns about his cancer treatments. “I appealed it, giving evidence that I was fit and healthy, but they knocked me back again because when you have had cancer, in the first five years there’s a certain percentage chance of it coming back again,” he said. “After five years that percentage drops – it’s called the remission period. “During that time you need to see your oncologist regularly. “At the moment I’m seeing my oncologist every four months to do physical checks and blood tests. “If I was to join the defence force, they couldn’t guarantee me having those regular check-ups. “I could be deployed overseas for a year and not have a check-up and it could come back.”

On hold

It was a blow for Ethan, who had been a member of Horsham’s Australian Air Force Cadets 422 squadron since he was 13. “I loved the cadets, I loved the discipline side of things, I loved having that strict manner and pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. I thrived on all of that,” he said. “I knew joining the air force was what I wanted to do, because there were a lot of management roles. “I wanted to go into being a logistics officer and look after the logistics of supply chains and equipment.” With his defence force dream sud-

PROBLEM SOLVER: Horsham’s Ethan Jolley has been dealt a rough road in the past two years, but has set himself up for a bright future. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER denly on hold, Ethan decided to take a gap year. He spent 2018 working full-time as a lifeguard and swimming instructor, and qualified as a personal trainer. During his gap year he was attracted to a different career path – secondary school teaching. “Teaching is very different to what I wanted to do with the defence force, but through my involvement with the air force cadets I was doing a lot of teaching and instructing and I really enjoyed that side of things,” he said. “I was standing in front of 30 cadets and instructing them and giving speeches.” Ethan also credited his high school

history teacher for inspiring him to take up the profession. Ethan enrolled in a three-year Bachelor of Physical Health and Outdoor Education course at La Trobe University, and planned to follow it with a two-year Master of Teaching degree. But now there was a new problem to solve – money. “When I was going through treatment it was a huge effort for my parents,” he said. “Not only mentally and physically trying to look after me, but financially it was a huge burden and they’re still forking out money every month to pay for my appointments and checkups.

“It’s an ongoing cost and something that really hit them hard.” Luckily, there was also a way around that roadblock. Ethan successfully applied for a $2000 Dare to Dream scholarship offered by cancer charity Redkite in partnership with Coles. “That scholarship has been so handy because I have used it to buy equipment for uni,” he said. “I have been able to buy a laptop and all my textbooks and any outdoor ed equipment I need. “It has taken part of that financial burden away for my parents and it means we can focus on other things.” Ethan now has options as he sets his sights on the future. He will finish his bachelor degree in 2021 – about the same time as he is allowed to re-apply for the defence force. “I have the end goal of getting my degree under my belt and then seeing how I feel about re-applying for the defence force,” he said. “If at that point I’m really enjoying it, I’ll just continue with my masters in teaching. “If I want to do something different I’ll apply for the defence force, and if I don’t get in again, then I have a backup and something else to get on with. “One thing I have learned from having cancer is that you have to have an end goal, but you have to see where life takes you and go with the flow as well.” Wherever the flow takes Ethan, one thing is certain – no problem will be big enough to stop him getting there.

Award for excellence

griculture Victoria senior technical officer Kristina Ellis has won recognition for her contribution to grains research.

Ms Ellis was awarded a 2018 Victorian Wheat Research Foundation Grains Innovation Park Excellence Award. The annual award, presented by Victorian Wheat Research Foundation trustee Rob McRae, recognises and celebrates staff at Grains Innovation Park in Horsham. The award reflects a demonstrated level of excellence above and beyond the winners’ expected roles.

This award is open to all staff working at the park, including staff at the departments of Jobs, Precincts and Regions; Environment, Land, Water and Planning; and Victorian Fisheries Authority. Ms Ellis, who is part of Agriculture Victoria’s molecular plant-breeding team, received the award for her effort during the past 18 months, which involved her stepping up into a field operations manager role. Molecular Plant Breeding senior research scientist Dr Garry Rosewarne praised Ms Ellis on her organisational and communication skills.

“Kristina was responsible for overseeing the most efficient harvest in several years,” he said. “This was followed up with a new approach to trial establishment where, through detailed liaising with private agronomists, she established and documented new spray regimes ensuring the latest and most effective treatments were being used.” Dr Rosewarne said Ms Ellis also managed the daily activities of 10 casual staff. “She has established new approaches and role clarity,” he said.

“Her commendable work ethic and commitment to leading the technical team has delivered significant benefits in morale and teamwork.” Research director and Grains Innovation Park site leader Traci Griffin congratulated Ms Ellis and six other award nominees. “The impressive nominations show how highly valued each nominee is within their teams,” she said. “All staff members at Grains Innovation Park are very appreciative of the ongoing support the Victorian Wheat Research Foundation provides.”

RECOGNITION: Kristina Ellis has won a major award for her work at Grains Innovation Park in Horsham.

Kealy applauds celebrations Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has described Australia Day celebrations in her electorate last month as ‘a wonderful celebration of community’. She thanked community groups and councils that organised and ran celebrations from small towns to regional centres. “Awards recognised the invaluable contribution volunteers make to our community, together with citizen-of-the-year awards honouring people who have worked tirelessly to make our region a better place to live,” she said. “Order of Australia accolades were presented to several amazing and well-deserving residents and I congratulate them on this outstanding achievement.” Ms Kealy said she also welcomed new Australian citizens who took the oath of affirmation to Australia and acknowledged the first custodians of land – Australia’s Aboriginal people. “We are lucky to call Australia home, and while I understand the date is inflammatory to some, the intent of celebrating all the things that make Australia great should be celebrated,” she said. “We live in an amazing country which is filled with so many inspiring people – all with a different story to tell, different experiences and something different to add to Australia’s journey and growth. Thanks to all Australians for adding their own special inspiration to what it means to be Australian.”

Take action against bullies Member for Mallee Andrew Broad has encouraged teachers and school leaders across his electorate to take action against bullying. Mr Broad said registrations were open for schools to sign up to the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence on March 15. “The National Day of Action is a movement against bullying and cyberbullying, and registered schools will receive new anti-bullying materials and teaching resources,” he said. “Parents want to know students, teachers and school leaders have the best tools to deal with bullying and cyberbullying. “The Morrison government is focused on keeping our kids safe, which means providing support and resources to combat bullies as well as educating everyone about the impact of bullying. “I want to see more schools across Australia, including in the Mallee, Wimmera and Mildura, taking a stand against bullying. We have already surpassed the two million students who took part in last year’s event. “My message to students is get your teachers and principals fired up about taking action against bullying and register to become a National Day of Action school.” More information is available on website www. bullyingnoway.gov.au.

It’s all in the words

orsham amateur songwriter Jean Darnell has had official recognition for her lyrical efforts by winning a major award at Tamworth.

Mrs Darnell won Gospel Song of the Year at Tamworth Songwriters Association’s 2019 Songwriters Salute. Mrs Darnell said she had penned the song ‘Part of our Father’s Plan’ in the 1990s and had taken it on a return trip to Tamworth, the home of Australian country music. “I was invited to go along for a project ‘of healing’ after going to Tamworth for the first time the year before,” she said. “I left with three cover songs and two songs I had written and on the way out of the house picked up the song that eventually won the award. I hadn’t intended to do anything with it.” Mrs Darnell said she took her songs to Shaza Leigh from LBS Studios in Tamworth ‘to have a look and provide some advice’. “The first song she saw was Part of our Father’s Plan and she asked how it went. I said it was boring and in E minor and A minor chords. But she showed it to her husband Lindsay and he was impressed,” she said. “Shaza then created a new tune to go with the words – it needed it – and it has now been released on LBS Collection number 23. “When I heard Shaza sing it, I knew

SONG CELEBRATION: Horsham music lover Jean Darnell and her Tamworth Gospel Song of the Year Award. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER she had to sing it. The song also has my monologue in it.” Mrs Darnell said the song then won a nomination for the award. “We watched it progress to the semi-finals and in December found out it had reached the finals. I had to check with Shaza to find out if it was true,” she said. “It was, and I received the award on behalf of both of us at Tamworth. “I’m absolutely humbled. The truth is that Shaza and I have won this together.

“Without her expertise with music and her vocals it wouldn’t have happened.” Mrs Darnell said she had only dabbled in music composition since learning the guitar many years ago. “Lindsay Butler has told me to write more songs and that is what I am going to attempt to do,” she said. “You go to Tamworth to simply enjoy the music, but to come back with an award, well – the valley looks pretty good from cloud nine.”

NBN in Halls Gap Halls Gap residents will be able to ask National Broadband Network representatives about a network rollout on Sunday. NBN Co is conducting a tour across regional Victoria to give businesses and residents the chance to learn how the service will affect them and how to access the NBN through a phone or internet provider. NBN representatives will be at Halls Gap Bakery on Main Road from 9am to 1pm. Head of NBN Local Victoria Ebony Aitken said more than 450 homes and businesses in Halls Gap could connect to a service via the NBN access network. “We have been listening to the community’s feedback and are committed to providing answers to the questions residents and businesses want to know about the network and the factors which influence the speed of their internet service,” she said. “We’re urging those residents who are ready to connect or who have already connected to check their internet usage habits and the number of devices connected during peak usage times, between 7pm and 11pm. “People should then speak with a phone or internet provider about the right speed plan for their household’s needs, as well as what typical speeds they can expect during the busy evening period, before placing an order to connect to services over the NBN access network.” People can find out whether they are eligible to connect to the NBN by using the ‘check your address’ function on website www.nbn.com.au/switch.

The Australian wool market has continued its slow upward trajectory in Week 31. Quantities reduced slightly compared to Week 30 and 38,830 bales were offered to the trade. When compared to the corresponding sale of 2018, the total amount of bales offered is down by 177,047 bales, a reduction of 15.7%. Although the market recorded an overall positive movement for the series, the merino sector performed with mixed results. Better style wools, with favourable additional measurement results continue to attract excellent buyer support, resulting in very little change for these types. Off style types, wools carrying higher vegetable matter (vm) and those with high mid-breaks lacked the same support. The 20 to 40 cent reduction in these wools was the driving force behind the reductions in the individual micron price guides (MPGs). The AWEX eastern market indicator (EMI) added 7 cents for the series. The EMI has now recorded an increase for the five consecutive weeks, for a total increase of 85 cents. Long low vm types continue to outperform the rest of the skirting market and these wools recorded very little change for the series. The increasing supply of higher vm types eased however, generally between 25 and 45 cents, lots carrying fault such as cott and colour most affected. The crossbreds were by far the best performing sector this week, and the increases in these types was a contributing factor for positive movement in the EMI. 26.0 to 28.0 micron added 80 to 100 cents, all other microns were generally 25 to 45 cents dearer. Although all types and descriptions recorded rises, it was the better prepared lines that attracted the strongest competition, and as a result posted the largest gains. Next week’s national offering increases. Currently, there is 40,426 bales rostered for sale in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

‘Dance the night away’ S

BY DEAN LAWSON

ome of us are probably a little unsure whether they ‘know they can dance’ but plenty would still love ‘one-man bands’ and might argue they still have ‘thunder in their heart’.

They might also ‘love you more than I can say’, enjoy ‘long tall glasses’ and might even ‘feel like dancing’. Sound confusing? Not if you are a fan of international pop-music icon Leo Sayer. All are references to Sayer songs and lyrics that have become burnt in the memory of a generation. Sayer, who emerged from the British music scene and rose to international stardom in the 1970s with a variety of hits, will bring his touring show and band to Horsham Town Hall on March 8. The Grammy Award-winning legend, who calls Australia home, will visit Horsham as part of his three-month Just a Boy at 70 tour, before a European tour later this year. Sayer said in an interview from NSW’s southern highlands that he was keen to return to Horsham after performing in a Spirit of the Bush concert at Longerenong many years ago. “I love it when a tour goes inside Australia,” he said. “When we used to tour in the old days logistics meant we could only play in the capital cities and you would never get to experience the interior. “But since I’ve been in Australia and had an Australian band, I love going to the burbs and bush. “And we should be doing that – playing in places such as Horsham. “I have a good friend who lives in Ararat and I know the area very well.” Sayer has maintained a strong connec-

Leo Sayer tion with loyal fans dating back to when he was establishing himself as an international star. “Everybody remembers the music of their time. There’s an emotional connection and often people can remember what they were doing when they hear music they listened to in the past. It helps us remember,” he said. “And the records we in the industry made at the time were good records that still sound good on radio today. They seemed to strike a chord with people. “We didn’t have all the stress today of mobile phones and social media and had to put everything, with all the emotion, onto a three-minute platter. “Good songs become iconic, like old paintings where you just want to climb into the atmosphere of what artists are thinking. “At the time we never thought our songs would ever last this long. “We thought we were making music for others in their 20s and as soon as we

turned 25 they would be old hat. It’s extraordinary that people continue to associate with the songs. It shows that music is a continuing template and communicates well across generations. “We played a gig at Crown in Melbourne before Christmas and invited some people back stage – there was about 18 in the finish. “There was a guy and his wife who were a bit older than me and then they had their kids who were in their 40s and 50s. “They too had kids, 20 and 25, and then there were younger kids in the extended family who were five and six. “Everyone was into ‘Leo Sayer’ and when the five-year-old sang a song back to me I thought ‘how magic is that?’ It was amazing. “I asked my manager what fame is and he said being popular from six to 60.” Sayer said as well as obvious highs, he had experienced quiet moments in his career, particularly in the late 1980s and ’90s when ‘everyone wanted young people’. “It really stopped for me and was one of the reasons I came to Australia. But now it’s changed around and while it’s hard to sell new acts they can still sell our songs,” he said. Sayer said his shows were all about ‘aiming to please’. “All the hits are in there with probably a couple of new songs. We have a fantastic band which has a magic connection on stage,” he said. And his thoughts on where he found the energy to continue performing at a hectic level despite turning 70? “If I knew that I would bottle it. But I’m still hungry and ambitious.” Tickets to Leo Sayer Just a Boy at 70 in Horsham are available online at www. horshamtownhall.com.au.

Fiesta Fridays back Nhill’s summer festival ‘Fiesta Fridays in February’ will continue this week with an Elvis Spectacular featuring Anthony Tenace.

Melbourne University, Notre Dame University, Flinders University and University of Sydney. All are now working in their first year as doctors. At East Grampians Health Service, the interns will work on rotation through the operating theatre and at Ararat Medical Centre. East Grampians Health Service development and improvement manager and junior medical office manager Sarah Woodburn said the program was about helping the interns gain experience as a general practitioner. This included working as a

GP obstetrician, anesthetist and in a hospital. “The idea is by training doctors in rural areas they are more likely to want to stay and practice in rural areas,” Ms Woodburn said. “It’s all about increasing our medical workforce for the future.” East Grampians Health Service chief executive Andrew Freeman said feedback indicated the program provided interns with hands-on opportunities, something that was rare in metropolitan areas. East Grampians Health Service has been part of the intern program for five years.

Willaura ready to run – again O

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

rganisers of the Willaura Farm to Pub handicap footrace are preparing for another bumper crowd in 2019.

The race will return to its usual Sandy Lane location on Old Joyce Farm for its 16th year, on February 23. Organising committee member Heather Fleming said the committee expected a similar number of entries to last year’s field of about 200. “We would love to see as many people as possible,” she said. “It’s a good way to keep fit and active, and it’s social as well.” The race’s titular pub – the Willaura Hotel – closed down in 2017, but Mrs Fleming said a ‘pop up pub’ at Willaura Recreation Reserve would return after its successful introduction last year. In addition to the main 16-kilometre handicapped race, there will be categories for people of different ages and abilities. There will be a 16-kilometre ride, an eight-kilometre run, an eight-kilometre ride and five-kilometre walk. Registrations for the race close on Monday, February 18 at 10pm. People can still register after the deadline up to

an hour before the race in all categories, but will not receive an official time. An entry fee of $15 for adults and $5 for children under 16 will support the Willaura Recreation Reserve and other community groups. Buses will ferry competitors out to the starting lines for each event, with the finish line at Willaura Recreation Reserve. Mrs Fleming said there would be plenty of family activities, including the opening of the Willaura Pool and a jumping castle at the recreation reserve. There will also be powered and unpowered campsites available for people wishing to stay overnight. Mrs Fleming said the committee was still looking for extra volunteers to help run the event. “As organisers we’re always happy for more people to get involved,” she said. “We would welcome anyone who wants to lend a hand, whether it be as a timekeeper or any other role.” There will also be a raffle in support of mental health charity beyondblue. The main prize is four tickets to a 2019 AFL preliminary final. Mrs Fleming said anyone wanting more information could visit the event website at www. farmtopub.org or call her on 0428 541 328.

FIRING UP: From left, members of East Grampians Health Service Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay teams, Kelsey Weight, Hannah Reid, Lisa Haddow, Carolynne Smith, Laura White and Eman Alsulami.

Orange Whip to play at J Ward East Grampians Health Service Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay teams are ramping up their training and money-raising efforts, with their next fundraiser an Orange Whip @ J Ward event on Friday. The Cranks and Defibrillators, preparing to ride in the 525-kilometre event from Swan Hill to Port Fairy on April 6 and 7, have organised the event for 6pm in the gardens of historic J Ward in Ararat. Health service community

liaison officer Jodie Holwell said the fundraiser would be a great event. “It is featuring the dynamic local eight-piece band Orange Whip, supported by young local vocalist Charlotte Harwood,” she said. For the first time in many years, East Grampians Health Service will field a full team of 20 riders, plus four volunteer bus drivers and two volunteer support crew members, as well as a team manager. Money the teams raise this

year will go towards replacing treatment chairs in the health service’s dialysis unit. Ms Holwell said Orange Whip @ J Ward was ‘bring your own’ everything, with Rotary Club of Ararat having a gourmet barbecue available, as well as its coffee van. Tickets are $30 a person, with children 12 and under admitted free. Tickets are available from EGHS front reception and Fosters Mensland.

VALENTINE’S DAY

Another milestone for couple H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham couple Kirsty O’Connell and Liam Niewand will share their first Valentine’s Day next week as an engaged couple.

Kirsty and Liam are planning to get married early next year after a surprise proposal from Liam on Christmas Day cemented a long-term relationship. Valentine’s Day, on February 14, represents another milestone for the couple that Kirsty revealed already had ‘a house and a dog’. “I don’t know about Liam but as far as a I know we haven’t made any plans yet for the day,” she said. Kirsty, 24, who manages computer sales at Harvey Norman in Horsham, said the engagement proposal, despite her and Liam being ‘quite laid-back’, was romantic. “We’ve been together for about seven years and now, one house and one dog later, we’re engaged,” she said. “We both knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but we didn’t know when. “I wasn’t expecting it until New Year’s Day, but it happened on Christmas Day in the first house we had bought together. “We planned our Christmas and in the morning we were just hanging around the Christmas tree opening presents. “Liam had wrapped up a jewellery

“He had sticky-taped up what was a fake present so badly it took ages to unwrap. I was getting frustrated trying to open it and he was getting frustrated watching me” – Kirsty O’Connell

REASON TO SMILE: Kirsty O’Connell and Liam Niewand, pictured with their dog Luna, will celebrate Valentine’s Day as an engaged couple. Picture: BARRY KING bag and I was expecting a necklace or something. “He had sticky-taped up what was a fake present so badly it took ages to unwrap.

“I was getting frustrated trying to open it and he was getting frustrated watching me struggling with it. “Suddenly he was on one knee with a ring proposing. I just started crying.”

Kirsty said it was still only 9am and amid celebrations the couple rang parents and told friends next door. “Ali Byrne, Bonnie Severin, Joel McClure and Georgie McIntyre were

there in the morning, and despite the time, we celebrated with a beer,” she said. “We all celebrated and then our families came over. It was certainly an engagement we will remember and a really good Christmas Day. “Liam and I are laid-back casual people, so it suited us perfectly. “We’re very close with all our friends and wouldn’t have it any other way.” Kirsty said Liam, 26, who works on the family farm at Minyip, would be ‘100 percent’ embarrassed about sharing their engagement story. “I tell him all the time he’s a good egg. He won’t enjoy it, but that’s his problem,” she said laughing. “I’ve told him that in 30 years’ time I still want to laugh at him about it.” And Kirsty’s assessment about her new engagement ring? “It’s beautiful. It is a big and beautiful diamond.”

“So we decided at our last Sunday afternoon social open-garden in January, that we would hold this event to add to Valentine’s Day celebrations. “We want to share our love of gardening with other people who might not have enough room to grow their own vegies at home. “Or maybe they just want to meet with other people to share and learn about gardening. “This is a chance for everyone to come along to the garden to meet us and have a look around.” The Friday open event, from 6pm, will feature the community, ‘in a relaxed summer evening atmosphere’, sharing food and gardening hints. Stawell community gardeners will provide a gas barbecue, salad, bread, water, tea and coffee and have asked people to bring their own barbecue items and picnic utensils. “Please avoid plastic if possible. Providing a song, poem and instrument are optional,” Ms Greenberger said.

Group president Jenny Greenberger said having a February 15 open day in the community garden in O’Regan Street, around the corner from Patrick Street, was all about sharing a love of gardening. “We thought Valentine’s Day weekend was the perfect time to invite the community to come and explore what people are growing and producing,” she said. “There is a strong connection between gardens and the concept of love and we thought we could tie it all together. “And of course there is nothing better than the flavour of home-grown vegies. “Stawell Community Gardeners grow vegies and fruit for the community. “It has been pretty challenging keeping the garden producing during this hot spell. “But the gardeners have managed to keep it looking green and have harvested some delicious produce.” Ms Greenberger said the garden, which involves people looking after about 15 individual garden plots at the site, was also about community building. “As a group we believe community has taken a bit of a back seat in terms of social interaction, with everyone leading such busy lives,” she said.

“There is a strong connection between gardens and the concept of love and we thought we could tie it all together. And of course there is nothing better than the flavour of home-grown vegies”

tawell Community Gardeners love their garden – so much so that, in line with the upcoming celebrations of love associated with Valentine’s Day, the community gardeners will open the gates of their garden to the public.

Winding down

portscar niche brand Morgan will cull its Australian line-up from six models to two.

slots of the 4/4 and Plus 4 are still on offer for 2019. Powered by an ADR-compliant 82kW-131Nm 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that does not meet new WLTP standards, the Morgan 4/4 is priced at $94,000 and is expected to be the last naturally aspirated version of the nameplate that has been in production since 1936. Similarly, the Morgan Plus 4’s Fordsourced 115kW-201Nm also fails to meet WLTP regulations, but is still available to order in limited numbers, from $105,000.

The 4/4 and Plus 4 will be discontinued due to a stricter Worldwide Harmonised Light vehicle Testing Procedure, WLTP, as the engine supply for the Aero 8 and Plus 8 runs dry. The remaining models, the V6-powered Roadster and quirky 3 Wheeler will still be available on an ongoing basis from $145,000 before on-road costs and $107,000 respectively, however, a small number of production

Meanwhile, the Aero 8 and Plus 8, which are powered by a 270kW490Nm 4.8-litre petrol V8 borrowed from BMW, has officially been taken off the market as supplies of the bent eight dried up last year. For reference, the Roadster is motivated by a 3.7-litre V6 producing 209kW of power and 352Nm of torque and has been updated with a five-link rear suspension set-up, limited-slip differential and adjustable dampers as standard. Finally, the 3 Wheeler continues with its 60kW-140Nm 2.0-litre two-

cylinder engine and a number of nocost options as part of its 110th anniversary. Morgan Cars Australia expects fresh metal to bolster its line-up in the future, as the factory is known to be working on new ‘up-market, premium price’ models, but production and deliveries will likely not come before 2020. One such model, seen in overseas spy photos and now confirmed by a Morgan Motor Company spokesperson, is a wide body vehicle to be launched later this year built on an

all-new aluminium platform that will sit close to the top of the brand’s performance spectrum. The spokesperson also said the same new platform would underpiun a ‘flagship’ vehicle that would feature an entirely new body shape, due to launch within the next four years. Last year Morgan Cars Australia sold just 10 examples of its vehicles, a 25 percent jump over the eight units it shifted in 2017. – Tung Nguyen

is 14mm shorter than the outgoing version but with greater interior space, while the body has been lowered by up to 30mm for a more athletic stance. Boot space has increased from 300 litres to 391L, which the car-maker claims is the roomiest in the segment, while the rear seats are able to fold completely flat. From the outside, the Clio sports a new face including a larger grille, more pronounced front bumper and

The front wheelarches feature air deflectors to improve aerodynamics and fuel economy, while at the rear the new Clio gains a wider look with more expressive tail-lights in a Cshape design and chrome-plated lines that follow on from the side window surrounds.

Inside, the Clio has been largely overhauled with a focus on material quality and ergonomics, and is dominated by the new, portrait-style 9.3inch touchscreen projecting Renault’s new Easy Link multimedia interface. A Bose audio system is also offered. The instrument cluster also swaps out the old analogue cluster for a

The all-new Clio has undergone significant changes inside and out, starting with the new CMF-B platform developed with Alliance partner Nissan, of which the Clio is the first vehicle to adopt the new architecture. Using the new platform means the Clio will be able to enhance its autonomous and electrified capabilities, with Renault saying the light hatch will be a pioneer in its push towards increasing its number of offerings with autonomous driving technology. Renault is yet to detail exactly what autonomous features will be included on the Clio, but revealed it would make ‘driver assistance systems leading to autonomous driving widely available on a city car’. The Clio will also be the first of 12 Renault models to be offered with electrified powertrains by 2022, in the form of the E-Tech hybrid engine – however no details on the engine’s exact set-up, displacement or output have been given. Sitting on the new platform, the Clio

digital display measuring either seven or 10 inches in size, with the larger version also able to project GPS navigation. Renault has redesigned the Clio’s steering wheel to be more ergonomic in the hands and features backlit buttons and a smaller circumference thanks to a more compact airbag. Support from the new seats is enhanced with a longer seat base and more fitted shape, while the thinner seat backs provide extra legroom for rear passengers. The centre console sits higher to give the driver a snugger feel and features a shorter gear lever and wireless smartphone charging. A number of design schemes will be available for different parts of the interior, while a range of customisation packs are also on offer. A new model grade, named RS Line, will be made available for the first time, which will replace the existing GT-Line variant seen on other Renault models. In the new Clio, it will feature sporty touches such as a honeycomb grille, an F1 blade, 17-inch rims and a sportier rear end. Further details on the Clio including powertrains, Australian timing and specification will be made available in coming months. – Robbie Wallis

Lexus UX to draw new buyers

exus Australia’s box-fresh UX small SUV is expected to add about 2500 incremental sales to the luxury brand’s bottom line this year, and will also serve as a prominent conquest model. However, Lexus Australia chief executive Scott Thompson said the UX will likely only place as the brand’s second best-selling model, despite the popularity of the premium crossover segment. “The UX is probably not going to be our number-one seller,” he said. “We still believe NX will be the number-one seller for us – at least for the foreseeable future, based on market trends and consumer interest – but it’s going to be a valuable addition. “With the addition of UX, we’ve got a full-compliment luxury SUV range now spread across the entire market.” Last year, Lexus shifted 3697 units of the NX mid-size crossover, up 9.1 percent compared to 2017, which means the expected circa-2500 sales of the UX will place it comfortably in front of the RX large SUV – 2051, up 10.4 percent – and IS mid-size sedan – 1089, down 28.5 percent. Choice will be key to the UX’s appeal, which Mr Thompson expects will draw in new buyers to the Lexus brand, as well as more women. “We brought in every single variant we can from Japan – whether that

DRIVEN: The new UX small SUV is expected to be Lexus Australia’s second best-selling model. be engine variant, colour and trim option – and UX, we believe, is probably going to bring in a higher female skew, and definitely a younger demographic,” he said. As Lexus’ first entrant into the booming $40,000-plus small-SUV segment, the UX will square up against the likes of the market-leading Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, and Audi’s Q3 and Q2. The UX will kick off from $44,450 plus on-road costs for the base UX200 front-wheel-drive Luxury grade that is

propelled by a 126kW-205Nm naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Opting for the Sport Luxury grade raises UX200 pricing to $53,000, while the top-spec 2.0-litre F Sport commands a $53,450 asking price. Paired to a direct-shift continuouslyvariable transmission, D-CVT, with a traditional first gear – first seen on Toyota’s new 12th-generation Corolla small car – all Lexus UX200s have their fuel economy rated at 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined

cycle test and emit 132 grams of CO2 a kilometre. Maximum towing capacity is also rated at 750kg. Buyers also have a choice of a petrol-hybrid powertrain – the only electrified model in the $40,000-plus small-SUV segment – with the frontdrive UX250h, available in Luxury, Sports Luxury and F Sport trim for $47,950, $56,000 and $56,950 respectively. Teaming a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors, the hybrid UX produces combined

system outputs of 131kW and 202Nm. Mated to a CVT, the electrified UX sips just 4.5L-100km and emits 103gkm of CO2. All-wheel-drive versions of the UX250h Sports Luxury and F Sport are also on offer, at $61,000 and $61,450 respectively, which add 55kg to the kerb weight and raise fuel consumption to 4.7L-100km and CO2 emissions to 107g-km. Standard equipment across the range includes 17-inch alloy wheels shod in 215-60 Bridgestone rubber, roof rails, full LED lighting, heated and power exterior mirrors, Eco, Normal and Sport drive-mode selector, and an acoustic windscreen. Inside, the Luxury grade is fitted with a leather-accented steering wheel and shift lever, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-adjustable and heated front pews, keyless entry and start, a 7.0-inch driver display and Lexus’ 10.3-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation, an eightspeaker sound system, digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a haptic feedback touchpad. Safety systems include adaptive cruise control, traffic-sign recognition, automatic high beams, pre-collision warning, blind-spot monitor, a reversing camera, rear cross-traffic alert and eight airbags. – Tung Nguyen

1. How old is musical icon Leo Sayer, who is performing in Horsham next month? A. 70. B. 65. C. 75. D. 60. 2. Recent research suggests our largest Australian skink, the blue-tonged lizard, has a blue tongue for what? 3. Edward Nigma is the alter ego of what fictional super villain that features in DC Batman comics, movies and television series? 4. A rare skin of what animal, which sat for many years in a drawer in Whanganui in New Zealand, was sold to the National Museum of Australia last month?

5. The song ‘I Ran’ by English new-wave band A Flock of Seagulls reached number 43 on the UK singles charts in 1982. In the same year it was a top-10 hit on Australian charts, peaking at what number? 6. Based on 2011 census figures, which Wimmera municipality has the larger population, Hindmarsh or Yarriambiack? 7. With a catchment of about 2.4-million hectares, what is the largest Victorian river that does not flow into the sea? 8. Which of these native mammals in the Wimmera are considered either ‘critically endangered’ or ‘endangered’ either in Australia or Victoria – smoky mouse, southern bent-wing bat, southern brown bandicoot or squirrel glider?

9. What was the name of the popular shoot ’em up arcade video game developed and released by Williams Electronics in 1981 that become the company’s best-selling and one of the highest-grossing arcade games of all time? A major clue is that it was a revolutionary two-dimensional and side-scrolling game that Mario Suarez famously played for more than 21 and a half hours at Claridge Casino Hotel in Atlantic City in 1982. 10. True or false? Members of the British royal family Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, are direct descendants of Mary Boleyn, sister of the ill-fated Anne Boleyn of Henry the VIII fame.

Answers: 1. A, 70. 2. As a last-ditch effort to frighten off predators – especially birds. While most lizards have pink tongues, these skinks’ tongues are ultra-violet. That means they would glow in disco lights and critically, are clearly visible to birds. 3. The Riddler. He has been around since 1948, first appearing in Detective Comics #140. He has also gone by the aliases Eddie Nashton, Eddie Nash and Patrick Parker. 4. Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. The skin is considered one of the best-preserved skins of the extinct marsupial carnivore in the world. 5. It peaked at number one in Australia. It reached seven in New Zealand and nine in the United States. 6. Yarriambiack. Census figures show for its 7158 square kilometres it had a population of 7088. Hindmarsh, 7527 square kilometres, had 5798. For comparison, Horsham, the geographically smallest at 4249 square kilometres, had 19,279, and West Wimmera, geographically the largest, with 9107 square kilometres, had 4251. The Wimmera’s overall population, not including Ararat, which is officially in the Western District, had a population of 54,645. 7. Wimmera River. After its origins in the Pyrenees, it spreads north-west before flowing into a series of terminal lakes including Hindmarsh and Albacutya. 8. All. 9. Defender. 10. True. The lineage is through their mother Princess Diana and Mary Boleyn is their 14th great grandmother.

Monsters set for Kalkee B

BY MARK COWIN

lue Ribbon Raceway will become home to diesel smoke, multi-engined tractors and supercharged V8 engines when Down Under Modified Tractor Pulling Association brings its show to the region on Saturday.

The event represents the first time tractor-pulling motor sport will be at the Kalkee raceway and organisers have constructed a specially prepared track. Tractor pulling involves modified tractors or trucks dragging a weighted metal sled along a prescribed course. Pulling an ever-increasing load eventually causes the vehicle to lose forward momentum and torque and a rare few might reach the end of the course, known as a ‘full pull’. The distance from start to finish is measured within millimetres and the tractor that pulls the sled the furthest distance is declared the winner. If more than one competitor reaches the full pull mark of 100 metres, a pull-off will determine the winner. Various tractor classes and designs with feature, from mini modifieds with single V8 engines up to multi-engined ‘monsters’ with up to four supercharged V8 engines run-

ning methanol to move the sled to the end of the course. Some of these tractors appear the same as vehicles in paddocks, but others are ‘works of art’ and push out more than 8000 horsepower. Headlining the program will be an imported Coyote owned and run by Peter Mann, a veteran of the sport who has been involved since the 1970s. Powered by four Rodeck engines, Peter travelled to Canada to buy the machine and bring it back for this season. The Coyote, the first of its kind in Australia, produces more than 8000 horsepower and uses 125 litres of methanol per run. Another tractor to watch will be the Gary Johnson 1800 horsepower supercharged V8 methanol powered Stampede. Johnson is an ex drag-racer and mechanic who gets the most out of the engines he builds. Having less horsepower might seem to be a disadvantage, but the combination of horsepower and torque can be overcome by the limitation of traction, and driving skill will come to the fore. Another highlight will be diesel-powered tractors – Wicked Whitetail, owned and driven by

Tripp special guest Australian paralympian Stuart Tripp will be guest speaker at Wimmera Sports Star of the Year awards in Horsham on Friday night. Tripp, who lost a leg in a 1994 car accident, won a time-trial silver medal and came seventh in a road race in handcycling at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. Officials will announce the 35th Horsham Sports and Community Club Sports Star of the Year at the presentation dinner at Horsham Lutheran college hall. There are 15 finalists, from a variety of sports across region, in the running for the prestigious award. The event, which will also acknowledge the achievements of Wimmera basketballer Mitch Creek, starts at 6.30pm.

Veterans at Stawell

IMPESSIVE: ‘Coyote’ will feature at this weekend’s tractor pull. Picture: MTPA Brendan Cornfoot, is an 1100hp 8.3L John Deere turbo-charged beast. Cornfoot imported the tractor from the US, where it had won titles in the hands of Jeremy Roberts. Action will start at 2pm with vintage tractors before big modified tractors hit the track at 4pm. There will be three heat races for

all classes during the family-friendly event that also includes children’s activities. Action will continue into the evening. An ‘open pit’ will allow spectators to get up close to the machines and chat to the drivers and learn more about the sport. There will also be infield spectator access.

Trevor Taggart shot 41 points to win Wimmera veteran’s A Grade stableford round. He won from Ron Bailey, 37, as players competed in hot but good conditions at Stawell Golf Club. Although wind made playing difficult, some players recorded excellent scores and all 65 competitors enjoyed the club’s hospitality after the round. Players will gather again for the next event at Horsham Golf Club on February 18. Ross Hatton won B Grade with 39 points on countback from Rob Blachford, and Ken Reid had success in C Grade with 37 points from Peter Cross, also on 37. Nearest the pins: Sixth, Trevor Taggart; ninth, Peter Kerber; 17th, Richard Lipovas.

Pimpinio Tigers

Fitness to bolster new-look Tigers BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

impinio commenced preseason training last night with an emphasis on player fitness it hopes will carry it up the ladder.

New coach Renee Clarkson said the Tigers were re-structuring their training regime to improve player fitness and efficiently use their training time. “We’re going to try to do things a little bit differently this season in terms of training and the way we’re structuring things,” she said. “Lisa Ward, who is a qualified personal trainer, is going to take our fitness sessions on Tuesday nights. She’s the C Grade coach and she has a wealth of experience in all areas. “She has played netball for a long time and has coached for many years and is a life member at Pimpinio, which is fantastic. “People aren’t going to get fit through one session, we understand that, but because we’ve only got the one main court out at

Pimpinio we want to make sure we’re able to utilise our time on that court efficiently in terms of drills and game play on a Thursday. “A big focus will be on our players to do their fitness work in their own time and then any other incidental fitness will come from match play and our drills.” Clarkson said Kristenn Wilkinson would also help run pre-season training sessions. “The Wilkinson name is synonymous with netball in this area,” she said. “She’s going to run things a bit differently and is going to be a different face at our club. “We all get to be mentored by her and then I’ll take over at the start of the season.” Clarkson said the A Grade side would have a different look this season, with last season’s coach Marnie Lehmann and Deni Sordello departing for the Southern Mallee Giants. The team will also lose Grace Wooster, Mikayla Rethus and Shae-Lea Fischer.

Clarkson said the team had recruited former Stawell Warrior Maggie Clough and would welcome back former player Erin Habel. She said the Tigers were still working to lure other recruits. She said Pimpinio was hoping to improve on a four-win campaign in 2018, with this season’s competition shaping up as one of the most even in years. “We’re hoping the ladder will be a lot more even across the board,” she said. “It was great to see clubs like Stawell Swifts get up into the finals last year and we’re hoping everyone is competitive and the competition is pretty even.”

Jakobi in charge P

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

impinio has endured a lean run during the past few seasons, but hopes to start clawing its way back up the ladder under new coach Liam Jakobi.

The Tigers won one game in 2018 after notching only a draw in 2017. Jakobi, a stalwart of the club, became the Tigers’ new senior coach after Nathan Sachse stepped down from the position during the summer. He said he was excited to take the reins at the club where he had played since he was a junior. Jakobi was an assistant coach under Sachse last season, and said he was adjusting to being in charge. “I’ve found it enjoyable so far,” he said. “It has been a bit of a challenge getting things up and running, but now they are and I’m really enjoying it. “I think all the other boys have been enjoying it too.” Jakobi said the Tigers would be aided in their quest to improve by several new recruits, including former Taylors Lake player Sam Rintoule, Jaydon Walters from Rupanyup and Kalkee’s Nick Thomson. Jakobi said he expected other players to sign soon. “Recruiting has been going pretty well for us this year,” he said. “We have recruited more than we did last year, which is a good start, and we’re definitely not finished.” Jakobi said the only confirmed losses for Pimp-

inio were Sachse, who will not play football in 2019, and Kyle Dumesny who has transferred to Horsham Demons. Jakobi said emerging junior players would also aid the team. “Our numbers have been pretty good for pre-season so far and it’s a positive sign that most of our players from last year are sticking around,” he said. “There are some juniors coming up from last year’s under-17s. They have provided some enthusiasm that’s been a driving force for everyone else.” Jakobi said he would not overcomplicate Pimpinio’s game plan. “Reflecting on last year, we’re hoping to use that as a stepping stone to getting a few more wins on the board and getting the best out of the playing group we have,” he said. “I think the best thing is to keep things simple, and if we get the basics right the structures that we do have will fall into place.”

Taylors Lake Lakers

It’s time to move forward BY DEAN LAWSON

here is only so much rebuilding and developing a sporting club can go through when on a path of consolidation and improvement.

While winning is often only one indicator when measuring a team or club’s sporting success, it is ultimately important in confirming philosophy, direction and morale. Just ask Taylors Lake netball coach Gab McCulloch, who has spent the first two years of a five-year plan nursing a willing group through tough weekly assignments against tough and unforgiving opponents. McCulloch said in the countdown to the approaching season that she retained faith in a long-term growth and development plan, based on junior progression and consolidation through families. But she stressed she was hopeful of seeing more on-court success this season. “Our A Graders haven’t won a game in two years – something of which I’m more than aware,” she said. “But winning straight away was never really the aim in our long-term plan. “The plan was by the fifth year that our talented 15-year-old girls, who had enjoyed success, wouldn’t be 15 any more and the club had built

strongly through internal support and family and player retention. That’s when I wanted to be able to be in a position to win A Grade finals. “It has been about bringing children up to play against grown women, which was always going to be tough, and this was never going to lead to wins in the first couple of years. “In those two years we’ve worked on young players’ mental strength and teaching them about wellness. “Some of these girls have had to play two games every week for two years. But we’ve been working with them on nutrition, exercise, sleep, managing stress and self-reflection, so they aren’t blaming anyone for not winning or whatever else is happening in life. “It’s been about retaining resources and developing young people. But this year I want to start work on winning games. “The aim this year is to win two games in A Grade and two in B Grade. Time will tell.” McCulloch is both A and B grade coach this year and part of the plan is to work on an interchangeable squad, where teams have depth to adequately cover player losses and remain strong and competitive. “It’s more than promoting juniors – it’s about creating something for the future,” she said.

Sophie Heard

“We want to be able to create an A Grade squad through both sides, where players can play on various players in different positions,” she said. “We want to be in a situation where if we lose players, perhaps through pregnancy, the team can still push on and play in the finals. “Success will ultimately come

through loyalty, strength and character borne from hardship. “We’re building strong and resilient young people. “What we ask of our juniors is to play a large role in club development because that’s the only way they are going to have success. “I’m confident that our emerging juniors who have tasted success as

What we now need is to translate that into wins on the court.” Apart from promoting juniors, Taylors Lake also expects to welcome new players to the club. “We aren’t losing many players and we will have some new faces,” McCulloch said.

Taylors Lake Lakers

‘Lakers on the rise’ F

BY DEAN LAWSON

or anyone who has grown up following Horsham District Football League there has always been something nostalgic about Dock Lake Reserve.

The reserve, across the road from Green Lake, is one of the league’s great natural amphitheatres and has provided the stage for many big football occasions and performances. Being only 10 minutes out from Horsham, the reserve is like a home away from home for many either taking part in or spectating at football games. Dock Lake Reserve is also the home of historic Taylors Lake, a club that despite enduring tough seasons on the playing arena might well be on the cusp of a significant resurgence. The Lakers have a new coach in former Glenthompson-Dunkeld leader Brandon Weatherson and critically, an influx of new players are set to join him in the camp. Weatherson is upbeat and confident that the Lakers would improve markedly on last season, revealing that ‘at least’ 10 or 11 recruits from across Victoria and interstate would step into a senior line-up. “I’ve been impressed with the club. Taylors Lake has battled during the last couple of years but the committee is keen to get things right off the ground and, with me, hope to get things right on the

ground with new recruits, a fresh game plan and new direction,” he said. “With players travelling across from my old area of Maryborough and Ballarat and players coming across from Western Australia with Travis Mackley, all who have played a pretty good level of footy, it’s going to be a different looking team that’s for sure.” Former Minyip-Murtoa player Kirsten Hunter is among players travelling from interstate, joining ruckman Heze McCorry and Christopher Griffiths. Ricky Howard who played TAC Cup with Gippsland Power last year is also in the group. Weatherson said he realised the Lakers were ‘coming from a long way back’ and fell short of predicting where the team might finish this year. “I have a game plan I’ve carried through since coaching juniors based around pressure and discipline,” he said. “If you don’t train two nights a week you’ll most likely be in the reserves. “If you don’t train pre-season it will be the same. It will be a wake-up call for players. “It will be big challenge and the expectation is for us to be competitive for longer, to beat the bottom four sides and be competitive with the next rung.” Lakers president Tammy McDonald was also feeling buoyant about the Lakers’ fortunes. “Brandon is bringing a fresh new approach into the club,” she said.

2019 COACHES Seniors: Brandon Weatherson Reserves: Marc Davey Under-17s: Ian McCulloch Under-14s: Adam Hall

“He has fantastic ideas on how to develop players and has been recruiting quite heavily.” The Lakers plan to have two assistant coaches working with Weatherson and has confirmed experienced John Kelly will be one of them. Former coach Jye Smith will stay on as a player. Mrs McDonald said the club had built itself into a strong off-field position and was delighted that long-time supporter Hotondo Homes was continuing as major sponsor. “We are a family-friendly club and pride ourselves on looking after our players, supporters and volunteers,” she said. “We’re working towards improving our success on the field. “There is a very positive vibe around the club and everyone is looking forward to the season. “We don’t expect miracles but we won’t be having the heavy losses we experienced and expect to get a few wins on the board.

Premier coaches host clinic

orsham and District Soccer Club will host a two-day junior training clinic with coaches from National Premier League team Ballarat City Football Club.

The clinic will be at Horsham Racecourse Reserve in Bennett Road, from 9am to noon on Saturday and Sunday. There will be separate sessions for players aged 6-11 and 12-16. Ballarat City junior development coach Jason Spirovski will run the 6-11 session, while Ballarat City technical director Nicholas Bearham will coach the 12-16 age group. Bearham, from England, is a UEFA B licenced coach. The licence is mandated by UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, and is the second highest licence awarded by UEFA, allowing holders to be head coaches of men’s amateur clubs, youths up to age 16, and assistant coaches for professional clubs. Horsham and District Soccer Club committee member Avril Hogan said the clinic would help the club improve its own coaching programs. “Nicholas Bearham has vast experience across five countries working in youth development, which will not only help influence the players but our local coaches as well,” she said. “The Horsham and District Soccer Club has been growing year on year, attracting children from outside of

OPPORTUNITY: Horsham and District Soccer Club will host a two-day training clinic in Horsham this weekend. the local area, including from smaller towns like Murtoa, Dimboola, Stawell and even Watchem. “With the start of the 2019 season there will be more exciting changes in the ongoing development of the club. “New players and committee members are keenly sought for the upcoming season.” Mrs Hogan said the coaching clinic would build on the club’s strong ties with the Ballarat District Soccer Association. During 2018, under-nine and under-11 players from Horsham travelled to Ballarat’s Morshead Park to play occasional games against Ballarat teams. “This has served to expand the skills

of the players and give them a greater understanding of how they compare to teams in urban areas,” Mrs Hogan said. “Of the five games played by the under-nines, they won two and drew one. “It built their confidence immeasurably, making them look forward to future games.” The club also participated in the under-12 Macca’s City Cup tournament in October. A Horsham district team travelled to Bendigo for three matches in one day, including a tight contest against Swan Hill. In January, Melbourne City Football Club invited junior Horsham district players to attend a match against Perth

Glory. The Horsham players ran onto the field with the players as mascots, played in the half-time break and acted as flag bearers on the field for the entire game. Mrs Hogan said junior players interested in attending this weekend’s clinic could register by visiting website www.trybooking.com and searching for ‘Ballarat City FC Clinic’ with the search date February 9, 2019. The cost of the clinic is $99 for both days. People can contact the club for more information by visiting its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/horshamanddistrictsoccerclub.

Tri Horsham’s Simon Mentz said members of any club could tell organisers which club they had chosen to represent when registering on the day of the race. He said club participants could enter in the short course, long course or team events. “This is a great opportunity for football and netball clubs in particular to get fit and have some fun during their preseason with the possibility of earning their club some cash,” he said. Tri Horsham will present the $500 prize in conjunction with Horsham Triathlon sponsor The Athlete’s Foot. Mentz said people wanting to register could visit website www.trihorsham.com.au.

Regional success at Stawell S

BY TONY LOGAN

tawell Harness Racing Club staged a successful nineevent program at Laidlaw Park and plenty of regional stables enjoyed success.

Dancingallalone took out the Trotters Handicap for Ararat trainer Phillip Ralph, driver Neil McCallum and proud owners, the Ralph, Cocks and Dudman families. The lightly raced four-year-old gelding stepped away smartly when the tapes were released and led the field early. But he lost stride on the first turn, and when back to a trot, settled on the back of leader Keepthedream for the remainder of the 2180-metre journey. McCallum eased away from the pegs at the top of the home stretch and set sail after Keepthedream, which had booted clear of the pack. Dancingallalone balanced up and overhauled the frontrunner to score by three metres with Someones Singing a further five metres away in third place. The ‘local trainer’s trifecta’ of Ralph, Exell and Giles was a popular result for racegoers.

Wednesday, February 6, 2019

Jean took out The Weekly Advertiser C0 Pace, first up after a fivemonth break from racing. A neat piece of driving by Fabian Bigmore saw ‘Marjorie’ find the back of the leader by the time the field had gone 150 metres, after starting from the three-wide spot on the second line. It’s been a while between drinks for owner Steve West since Marjorie Jean last saluted – some seven months and 15 starts ago – cheers!

VICTORY: Connections of Ararat trotter Dancingallalone.

Eleven wins

Smart four-year-old Armstrong mare Imprincessgemma made it 11 career victories from just 23 attempts when successful at Stawell. Imprincessgemma won the Laidlaw Family C2-3 Pace for trainers Leroy and Danny O’Brien, driver Jason Lee and owner Sharyn O’Brien. ‘Gemma’ led the small field a merry dance over the 2180-metre journey and dashed home in 28.0 seconds to score by two metres in a rate of 1:57.6.

Promise

The Horsham stable of Barry and Aaron Dunn also enjoyed a spot in the winner’s circle at Stawell when the lightly raced five-yearold gelding Regardless got the judge’s nod in a very tight finish to a C4-6 Pace.

Regardless and $2.90 favourite King Of The Stars forged away from the rest of the pack and settled down to a real ding-dong duel over the final 400 metres. Halfway up the home straight, King Of The Stars looked to have the race in his keeping, but Regardless found another effort and bought up his eighth victory from 24 starts.

Top treble

A special mention to Ararat reinsman Michael Bellman, who notched up a treble at Stawell. This took him to sixth spot on the Victorian driver’s premiership table with 44 winners.

Important causes

For the next six weeks through-

out Australia and New Zealand the harness racing industry is supporting Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Until March 11, all women harness racing drivers will wear specially designed teal pants to raise money and promote awareness for the Women’s Cancer Foundation. Harness Racing Victoria and Tabcorp will kick in $200 for every winner booted home on Victorian tracks by the girls in teal pants. HRV has agreed to extend its commitment to the cause by an extra day, which will see the Horsham club host the ‘Team Teal Finale’ at its Noel Smith Memorial Invitation Drivers Championship race meeting on March 11.

Sport A ‘Living Legend’ Great Western trainer-driver Kerryn Manning has joined the Caduceus Club of Victoria’s Living Legends – the first female to win the harness-racing honour. The award honours people who have made significant contributions to their industry through years of service and achievement and the prestige they have brought to their sport. Based on wins, Manning, 42, is the most successful female reinswoman or jockey in the world. The 27th Living Legend inductee, Manning joins her father Peter, who was inducted in 2006. “You work hard and get some results and that helps you each day to do what you love,” Manning said. “I’d like to thank everybody who helps me. My husband, Grant, who’s a big part of Allbenz Park. He’s the backbone and without him I couldn’t do what I do. All my staff, all my owners and all my family – my father who’s taught me everything that I needed to know early in life.” Manning left school after year 10 to work on her father’s Great Western farm, driving her first winner on Gorgeous Gambit in Ararat at 16 and then the following year won on her metropolitan debut steering Scotty Wiper. Manning has since amassed 3825 victories from 16,126 starts in the sulky. She launched a training career from 2003-04, producing 922 winners from 3831 starts. Career highlights include a Scandinavian tour with Knight Pistol in 1996 and victory in Norway, which gave instant celebrity status among Europe’s trotting-mad audience. She also had international success in 2016 when she crossed the Tasman with 2015 A. G. Hunter Cup winner Arden Rooney, leading all the way to win the New Zealand Trotting Cup and becoming the first women to achieve such a feat.

All Stars delight sprintcar fans BY MARK COWIN

printcar fans from across the region helped celebrate the 100th round of the All Star 360 Sprintcar series at Blue Ribbon Raceway at Kalkee on Saturday.

With 26 of the best 360 drivers competing on the night, competition was intense, with no quarter giving on what turned into a great racing surface. Time trials produced a quick time from South Australia 33 Mark Caruso at 14.232 seconds at 108.769 kmh on the 430-metre circuit, with only three seconds separating the field. Six heats were run, splitting the field and separating the teams that handled conditions right, keeping lap times consistently in the high 14 seconds. The third round of heats saw 77 Brayden Parr who, after contact and running many laps with his front wing broken, pulled onto the infield with a fire evident under his car and entering the driver compartment. In an excellent response from emergency personnel and officials, Parr was removed from the car unhurt and the fire extinguished. As a crew worked to set the track up for the final, the raceway plunged into darkness with lightning causing an electrical failure. Fortunately the fault was rectified

quickly, but the lights needed time to cool before being able to be turned back on. To the credit of the fans and the commentary crew, everyone took the delay in style and entertained themselves with renditions of Nutbush and Chicken Dance songs. After the break, a shortened B main was run, with the top finishing cars transferring to the A main. With times into the low 14-seconds it augured for a great final. After the regular four-wide salute to the crowd, the 20-car field got underway with the drop of the green flag and there was soon contact, with the cars of Solomon, Campbell and Enderl pulling infield and a series of restarts less than four laps into the race. Mitch Smith slammed the turnthree wall, doing serious damage to his vehicle, but walked away unhurt. The most serious incident occurred on lap four when the cars of Daniel Scott and James Wren touched in turn four, resulting in Scott barrel rolling into the pit straight and tearing off the wing. But due to the safety features of these cars, Scott walked away shaken but unhurt. The race continued for 10 laps before another stop and then continued to the 30-lap finale with the hardcharging Mathew Reed taking the chequered flag over Micheal Tancredi

Three litre saloons

A field of eight three-litre saloons competed in a feature event and heats showed the field was tight and the final would be a hard-fought event. In heat one, 35 Ben Naismith, out front for eight of the 10 laps, was led only mid-race by Jason Ahearn who kept Daniel Wilson at bay in third. The second heat saw Horsham 66 Steve Honeyman take the lead from Shane Simpson on lap two and hold it

from Simpson and a hard-charging V2 of Lennie Clark. Heat three was again a tight race, with Andrew Ahearn taking the lead from the green flag and holding it to the finish, with Mick Boyle getting a hold on the track in second and Jason Ahearn in third. Honeyman and Graham Gerlach struggled with the track and set up. Heat four again saw a dominant run from Ahearn from the front row to take the win, followed by Mick Boyle. The final run over 15 laps turned out to be a hard-fought and fast-paced

race, with the front row of Clark and Andrew Ahearn running nose to tail until lap 11 when Ahearn pulled infield to join Gerlach, Daniel Wilson and Naismith. Coming up fast through the field, Horsham’s Honeyman waged a fierce battle with Swan Hill’s Boyle with both cars swapping positions in the latter stages of the race. With three laps to go, Boyle got the run on Clark and Jason Ahearn and took the checkers in a very entertaining race, followed by Clark, Shane Simpson who got by Ahearn on the last lap, and Honeyman dropping back in the field.

Vintage hot rods

A field of six Vintage cars ran three rounds of demonstration events during the night, giving the large crowd a look at what it was like back when cars were built in back yards, sheds and in farm yards for weekly trips to the picnic races.

Limited sportsman

A small field of Limited Sportsman ran a series of short sprint runs in packs that showcased the speed and agility of these popular cars and will be sure to produce more great racing at Blue Ribbon this season. The next event at the Kalkee raceway will feature a Modified Tractor Pull on Saturday.

Hornets bow out of finals BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

or the first time since the 2012-13 Country Basketball League season, Horsham will not have a team playing in a conference grand final.

The Hornets and Lady Hornets both bowed out in home semi-final games at the weekend. The youthful Bacchus Marsh Lions upset the Hornets, while the Lady Hornets could not contain Millicent Magic in the first game of the evening. The Lady Hornets quickly found themselves staring at a 10-point deficit in the first quarter, which was cut to eight at quarter-time by a late Georgia Hiscock basket. The Lady Hornets appeared nervous and were plagued by turnovers – a theme of the night for the team. Millicent’s high-scoring duo of Emily Winter and Olivia Fuller feasted on Horsham’s turnovers, combining for 17 points in the first quarter and 47 for the game. Horsham battled its way back into the game in the third quarter and trailed by a single point at the final break, with Caitlin Story leading the way and Ema Iredell working her way into the game after a slow start. A free throw from Maddy Iredell gave Horsham its first lead of the game at 59-58 with little over six minutes remaining, but Millicent again turned to Winter and Fuller to get them out of trouble. The Lady Hornets were unable to contain the duo in the paint, and they scored eight of the team’s final 13 points to cap a 71-62 victory for the visitors. Lady Hornets coach Damien Kilpatrick said the game was a disappointing end to a solid season. “We didn’t get the job done, and they were too good for us on the night,” he said. “We had a high turnover rate and nerves played a part. “They played a better game than we did – they made a lot of good moves on us and made their shots.” Kilpatrick praised Story for her solid game. She finished the night with 15 points, while Ema Iredell led the

Lady Hornets with 19 and Faith McKenzie also had 15.

Looking forward

Kilpatrick and Bruce were both pleased by the emergence of younger players this season and believe their teams have a solid foundation to build upon. Kilpatrick will step down as the

Creek re-signs with the Nets Horsham’s Mitch Creek has continued to impress at NBA level on his second 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Creek’s initial 10-day deal with the Nets was renewed on Monday after he made three appearances for the team. He officially played just two seconds in his debut against the New York Knicks, but recorded six points and five rebounds against the Boston Celtics days later. Creek did not see the court during Brooklyn’s next two games before earning a minute and a half of playing time against Orlando. Yesterday, one day after signing his new 10day contract, Creek played 15 minutes off the bench against the Milwaukee Bucks. He played the best game of his young NBA career, scoring eight points on 3-5 shooting, grabbing five rebounds and dishing four assists. Brooklyn cannot sign Creek to another 10-day contract after his current deal expires. The team will either have to sign him for the rest of the season or send him back to its G League development team, the Long Island Nets. If Brooklyn does not sign Creek for the rest of the season he will be free to sign an NBA contract with any other team in the league.

Hornets

The Hornets, who finished the season as minor premiers, were also outpointed early in their game against Bacchus Marsh. After Horsham captain Tim Pickert and forward Jordyn Burke scored the game’s first five points, Bacchus Marsh wrested back control and led by four points at quarter time. Pickert tried to bring his team back in the second quarter but Horsham’s momentum was broken by turnovers and timely Bacchus Marsh baskets. Horsham worked its way to within striking distance after half-time, but Will Feben – who finished with a game-high 25 points – made some timely shots to keep the Lions’ noses in front. Several times in the final quarter the Hornets drew within four points of the visitor, and a Jeremiah McKenzie three-pointer with just over two minutes remaining brought them within two points, but Feben again answered immediately to push the margin back to four. Horsham did not score again. Pickert finished with a teamhigh 22 points, including four three-pointers, while McKenzie had 13 and Burke 11, but the rest of the Hornets were subdued offensively. Hornets coach Cam Bruce said despite Bacchus Marsh’s win appearing to be an upset, he was not surprised by the Lions’ effort. “Some people might be surprised, but I knew it was going to be a great game,” he said. “They had a few players out when we played them earlier in the season. Their intensity from the start put us on the back foot, and we had some costly turnovers and brain fades. “I think from the perspective of the people in the stands, it would have been a great game to watch.”

Sport

BRIGHT FUTURE: Jeremiah McKenzie, in action against Bacchus Marsh at the weekend, has been labelled one to watch in the future by Hornets coach Cam Bruce. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Lady Hornets’ coach, but said whoever inherited the role would have plenty to work with. “There are always things to build on,” he said. “There are a few juniors who sat on the bench a bit this season, who in eight or nine months’ time with a bit of growth and practice will get the opportunity to play a few extra minutes next season. “There is certainly more upside than downside.” Bruce said he was also excited for the future of the men’s team. “Everyone can see the development in ‘Jezza’ McKenzie, Mitch Martin and Matty Lloyd recently, but then you have the likes of Sam Breuer, Austin McKenzie and Harley Pope,” he said. “There are six kids under the age of 18, which is pretty exciting. “Some of them have their eyes on

bigger and better things with footy, but if they stay around Horsham we will always open up the opportunity to play basketball. “In the under-16s and under-14s we’ve got some handy players coming through, so we have to keep promoting them and that’s how the Hornets are going to survive for years to come.” Bruce was unsure if he would continue as coach next season, but said he would remain involved with the team in some capacity. He said he would start running again in March as he continues to recover from mid-season knee surgery. Bruce thanked the Horsham Amateur Basketball Association committee and team sponsors and volunteers for their assistance during the season.

Two-way battle in tennis action Haven and Drung South are locked in a twoway battle for the fourth finals berth as Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s pennant competition enters its final three rounds. Drung South dropped out of the top four after a loss to ladder-leader St Michaels at the weekend, while Haven’s win against Telagatuk East pushed it ahead of the Drungsters. Kalkee went a long way towards shoring up a finals spot with a dominant 11-103 to 3-70 victory against Horsham Lawn. The Kees won all four singles rubbers in a comprehensive rout, and now only trail second-placed Lawn by percentage. St Michaels won the final four doubles rubbers in a back-and-forth match against Drung South to all but seal the minor premiership, winning 9-97 to 5-70. Telangatuk East is still searching for its first win of the season, but was competitive against Haven in a 9-99 to 5-71 loss. Telangatuk East split the 10 doubles rubbers with Haven, but was defeated soundly in the singles section.

Runs flow in battle BY ONE SHORT

he battle for top spot in Grampians Cricket Association will continue to unfold at Stawell’s Central Park when competition resumes on Saturday.

Youth Club and Swifts-Great Western are gripped in battle with the Combine in command. Swifts-Great Western, having elected to bat last week, amassed 9-396 with captain Sam Cocks top-scoring with 126 in a knock that produced two century-plus partnerships. Cocks’ innings included 16 fours and three sixes and shared a 136-run stand with Rick Peters and 111 with Travis Nicholson. The Combine’s middle order batsmen all scored half centuries, with Damon Folkes the only Clubbers bowler to make any impression with 3-81. Cock’s century took his season tally to 711 runs. With one round and a possible two finals to come, he is at the grail of 1000 runs in a season. The task of scoring at five runs per over will create huge pressure on Clubbers batsmen Folkes, Nic Baird, Cam Kimber and Clinton Slorach. The Combine bowlers of James Heffer, Jayden McCartney, Will Clough, Rick Peters and spinner Matt Fitzgerald will all enjoy so many runs behind them. The Clubbers might be tempted to sub in Bailey Taylor who scored a century in the seconds on Saturday. The Clubbers are also too good a team to

be dismissed twice in the one day, but will have to bat most of the day or find themselves back out in the field chasing leather. At Ararat’s Alexandra Oval, St Andrews must win against Pomonal to keep its finals hopes alive. St Andrews have dismissed Pomonal for a below-par 132, with only Grady Slocombe, Matt Grinham and Clinton Mackley managing to get into the 20s. However, St Andrews lost 2-12 in the last seven overs of the day and now Tom Mills, who resumes nine not out, will have to carry most of the task of scoring the runs needed.

games. Dalkin is a famous name in Grampians cricket circles and Lachlan is the nephew of former star players Chris and Brett. Aradale, in its quest to secure outright points against Halls Gap, sits just behind the Gappers score of 148, on 2-131 at the end of day one. The Gappers posted their highest score of the season, thanks to Josh Leith, 40, and Marcus Elliot, 33. The primary destroyer for Aradale was Sam Fulton with 5-53. Aradale will be looking to not-out batsmen Scott Turner, 39, and Mark Fulton, 2, to push the scoring rate along to give the team enough time and runs to dismiss the Gappers again.

n atmosphere of intrigue will float through Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade competition on Saturday after the opening day of the first of three two-day fixtures winding up the season.

All eyes will be on what happens at Horsham Sunnyside Oval, where runaway competition leader Homers puts out the welcome mat for Horsham Saints. The two-dayers will provide insight into how teams might perform come finals, and if the season continues to run to form it will be the Saints who emerge as Homers’ primary challengers. In other words, Saturday represents a showdown of the competition’s top two teams and is also a major test to see if the Saints have a game that can upset the Pigeons’ applecart. It comes as little surprise that the Pigeons and Saints feature heavily in the competition’s individual player averages. Left-handers and openers dominate the batting with Homers all-rounder Simon Hopper scoring 499 runs at 55.44 and Saints veteran Gary Davidson with 464 and 66.29 against his name. The Saints also have Mark Crafter, 440 at 36.67, and Austin Smith, 351 at 35.1, in the top five. Homers’ Adam Atwood and Jarred Combe and Saint Tim Bell are also in the top 10. There is a similar story unfolding in bowling averages with Homers’ Combe and the Saints’ Jono Carroll, both medium-pacers, leading the competition with 21 wickets each. Combe so far has the best average with 9.81 but Carroll’s 13.43 is also impressive. The Pigeons and Saints have solid form coming into the clash, with the Saints too good for Laharum in the last of the season’s one-day games and Homers all over RupanyupMinyip.

GRASSED: Horsham Saints captain and all-rounder Austin Smith drops a catch at Horsham City Oval. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER At Horsham City Oval, the Saints bowled the Mountain Men out for 141, Austin Smith the destroyer with 5-29, before Davidson, unbeaten on 69, led a Saints response of 5-147. At the same time, Homers, with Simon Hopper making 44, managed to defend 171 against the Blue Panthers at Rupanyup, bowling the home side out for 78, Combe capturing 3-12. A key to success at Sunnyside is how many of the teams’ second-tier players perform. Jung Tigers have been pacing themselves behind the leaders and have a broad spread of reliance on batsmen and bowlers. Tyler Neville is the Tigers’ leading run-maker with 338 at 33.8, but others such as Simon Mock, captain Angus Adams and Brett Jensz have also made solid contributions. Last week the Tigers made 7-191 in a one-day-game win over West Wimmera, Jensz leading the way with a half-century and Adams making 38 and three others getting into double

figures. The Tigers then had the Warriors 6-131 at stumps, Dan Garner chiming in with 3-21. Laharum is a bit of bogey side for Jung Tigers and with Damien Bunworth making 48 last week and Josh Mahoney again doing well with bat and ball, presents a danger to the home side. Rupanyup-Minyip, meanwhile, has to generate form in the run to the finals. The Blue Panthers meet West Wimmera and can’t afford to be in a position again of trying to recover from 5-11. Travis Hair, who made a lonely unbeaten 36 last week, needs a few more mates to find consistency with the bat and to back up Brent Hudson who took 3-25. West Wimmera will have little to lose at Rupanyup and with Mitch Dahlenburg coming off a half-century and Tim Braendler also having some success with the bat, will be on the hunt for a scalp.

10 clash went to the wire, with just two games separating the teams at the end of the night. Mitre 10 was triumphant, despite winning two fewer sets than its opposition. Joe Dunn had a night to remember and was the catalyst behind the victory, winning all sets and teaming with Elise Monaghan to record a huge 6-1 mixed-doubles win and tip the scales in Mitre 10’s favour. Maddi Rickard was outstanding for Stawell Gold Mine. The final scoreline was 8-75 to 10-73. Stawell Toyota sits atop the ladder after a workmanlike victory over Grampians Joinery. Stawell Toyota had solid contributors, including Simone Grace, Kim Hutton and Katrina Adams in the 16-game win. Grampians Joinery veteran Howard Dunn was at his sublime best in the loss, but Stawell Toyota’s evenness across the board was reflected in the score line, 11-90 to 7-74. – Joel Freeland

Strong start in Stawell tennis Stawell Tennis Club’s Friday night competition kicked off with a bang, with an increase in numbers and six teams now competing. The opening round featured three thrilling contests, including one result being decided by the barest of margins. Delahunty Plumbing and Frewstal battled out an old-fashioned slugfest with the victor only determined in the final set. Will McDermott was the hero, fighting off a brave Luke Monaghan 7-5 to give Delahunty Plumbing the win by a solitary game. Delahunty Plumbing’s Shane Field recaptured his form of yesteryear, winning all three sets. He was strongly supported by Lewis Reading, making the step up from juniors this season, and also claiming all three sets. Angie Fudge and Hayley Reading tried valiantly to get Frewstal over the line, ultimately falling agonisingly short, 11 sets 84 games to 7-83. A Stawell Gold Mine and David O Jones Mitre
