River primed BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

uthorities have worked hard to ensure near-perfect conditions for thousands of people lining the banks of the Wimmera River for Sunday’s annual Horsham Fishing Competition.

A technical fault at Horsham Weir before last year’s competition led to the river level rising, frustrating some anglers. Wimmera Catchment Management

Authority chief executive David Brennan said there would be no issue this year. He said the CMA had been working with Horsham Rural City Council to ensure anglers would enjoy ideal river conditions. “Everything being equal the Wimmera River levels will stay exactly the same at the weekend as they have been for the past four or five weeks,” he said.

“The river is in really good health at the moment considering we’ve had such a dry summer. “It’s always hard to predict whether it will be a good day for fishing, but certainly the water quality and the environmental conditions along the river for the fishing comp are as good as they could be. “Something people will notice this year in particular is the water quality and the reduction in turbidity.

“Basically, the water is a lot clearer than it has been for the past few years. “It’s a showcase event for the Wimmera River and we hope we can continue to see a trend where we’re catching more native fish than carp.” Fishing competition chairwoman Adele Rohde said entries were on track to match or exceed last year’s total. As of yesterday afternoon competition organisers had received about 1100 entries.

“This is a huge week for Horsham in general – with the Wimmera Machinery Field Days and a heap of other things happening – which is great for the town and hopefully the fishing competition can add to that,” Mrs Rohde said. “A survey last year indicated about 25 percent of contestants would spend more than $700 locally during the weekend.” Continued page 3

Sand-mine project gains momentum C

BY DEAN LAWSON

onstruction of a proposed world-class mineralsand mine northeast of Horsham is on schedule to start in 20222023, pending planning, environmental and board approvals.

Horsham mining company WIM Resource has confirmed it is pushing strongly ahead with the 30-year Avonbank project and has announced updated development details. The company is preparing to establish a multi-million-dollar test pit and pilot study near Dooen, as part of its resource development studies – which will provide a snapshot of operations and reflect commitment to the overall project. It will be the first mineral-sand pilot plant since WIM 150 at Drung in the 1980s. The test pit and pilot study, which will form a major part of a banking

feasibility study for the overall mining operation, will start next month. WIM Resource project manager and senior geologist Michael Winternitz said the project had reached an advanced and exciting stage. “The test pit and modular pilot plant represents a significant financial undertaking by the company and as a real sign that we’re serious about bringing this project into production,” he said. “We also see it as a final de-risking for a bankable feasibility study. “The pilot study is essential for us to confirm recovery and product quality of our concentrates.” Mr Winternitz stressed this would be a major economic development project. “The overall project is probably the third biggest of its type in the world,” he said.

the area had significant commercial and technical merit. This had led to the company board approving that the project proceeds to a bankable feasibility study stage. He said the company had started an approvals process and launched a raft of environmental studies, which were likely to take two years to complete, and would concentrate heavily on community engagement. The overall mine area covers 2500 hectares, is 15 kilometres from Horsham and bisects the Wimmera Highway. Mr Winternitz said WIM Resource would employ a rapid-rehabilitation or moving-hole concept, to ensure land was returned to its previous use as soon as possible and has started detailed soil studies. Notable landmarks in the area include Longerenong College and Wim-

“Horsham has a significant project on its doorstep and the WIM Resource board considers the people of Horsham major community shareholders – given the major employment and economic stimulus the project would bring.” WIM Resource expects both construction and operational project stages to lead to several hundred full-time jobs. It plans to employ its workforce from Horsham and the Wimmera. WIM Resource has analysed the potential of the Avonbank Project near Jung for the past six years, having defined a Joint Ore Reserve Committeecompliant reserve of about 300-million tonnes of ore – ‘which reflects a very high level of geological, technical and commercial confidence’. Mr Winternitz said pre-feasibility studies last year had produced positive results, indicating the sand mine in

Project money

River primed for annual fishing competition From page 1 “That injects a fair amount of money into the community and local businesses,” Mrs Rohde said. She said organisers had noticed an uptick in junior numbers for this year’s competition. “We feel there are a lot more juniors, which might be reflective of the new initiatives we’ve put in place,” she said. “They are the future of the fishing competition, so that is really good to see.” Among the activities planned for children are a free ‘movie under the stars night’ with a screening of The Incredibles 2 at Horsham Soundshell from 7.30pm on Friday and a free children’s fishing clinic at Horsham Angling Club on Saturday. Every junior who hooks a fish longer than 30 centimetres in the competition will receive a prize. Popular zoologist and television presenter Chris Humfrey will also return to the competition for a fourth consecutive year. Mr Humfrey, appearing on behalf of Wimmera CMA, will make presentations at three riverbank locations on Sunday before an appearance at Horsham Soundshell at the end of the competition. “We want to make sure there is some entertainment for the kids and the wider community,” Mr Brennan said.

mera Intermodal Freight Hub, which have been excluded from the proposed mine area. The company has earmarked the freight hub to play a major role in project development. Mr Winternitz added the company had been involved in detailed discussions with all stakeholders. He also stressed that WIM Resource was driven strongly to become a major global player in mineral sands. “We’re a little different from other industry players when it comes to fine-grain mineral sands,” he said. “We’ve probably done more in the past six years than some others have in the past 30 and have made some significant advancement. We’re quite serious about bringing the project online and get it working.” Mr Winternitz encouraged interested people to register for updates via website www.wimresource.com.au.

Federal regional Services Minister Senator Bridget McKenzie will be in the Wimmera today to announce funding for major projects in Warracknabeal, Dimboola and Horsham. Senator McKenzie, also Decentralisation and Sports Minister, will be at Warracknabeal Regional Livestock Exchange at 11.15am, Dimboola Riverside Caravan Park at 12.45pm and Wimmera Machinery Field Days at Longerenong at 2.15pm.

Minister visit

State Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes paid a visit to Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park last week. It was the first visit to the Wimmera region for Ms Symes since taking over the agriculture portfolio from Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford. Ms Symes succeeded Ms Pulford in the portfolio in January. Ms Symes toured the park and met with local farmers during her visit.

STAKING A CLAIM: Steve Donohue was the first person to collect a set of stakes to mark his territory for Sunday’s Horsham Fishing Competition. Contestants who pre-registered for the competition were able to claim stakes and mark out spots on Saturday morning. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “To get somebody with a high profile like Chris is fantastic. “We’re encouraging the community to come along and listen to him, particularly because he talks about and shows animal species that are relevant to the Wimmera and the Wimmera River.” This year’s The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition will feature an impressive array of prizes. Prizes include the choice between a new Kia Rio car and a five-night barramundi fishing trip for two peo-

ple in the Tiwi Islands for the person who catches the heaviest eligible fish. Mrs Rohde said there had been plenty of positive feedback about the second prize – a Savage 3.6-metre boat, four-stroke Tohatsu motor and trailer valued at $6870. She said organisers still needed more volunteers to ensure the competition ran smoothly, and encouraged anyone interested in helping to put up their hand. “There is no reason to panic, but

the more hands available to help out on the day the better,” she said. “If anyone is available to help we would love to hear from them.” The competition will be from 7.30am to 3pm on Sunday. People wishing to register or looking for more information can visit website horshamfishingcomp.com. au for more information. People interested in volunteering can call Mrs Rohde on 0439 826 187.

Goroke rodeo Tickets are still available for Saturday’s Goroke Apex Rodeo. The rodeo was organised as a fundraiser by Goroke’s Apex Club. The rodeo will be at Goroke Showground from 3pm on Saturday until 1am Sunday. Children’s entertainment, live music and food stalls will feature. People can purchase tickets by visiting website www.eventbrite.com. au and searching for Goroke Apex Rodeo.

Transforming Horsham key step in city’s growth WHAT IS TRANSFORMING HORSHAM?

Planning for Horsham’s future will move into a significant new phase across the next six months under the banner of ‘Transforming Horsham’. Transforming Horsham is essentially one assignment with four strategic projects that each have the common goal of growing the city’s economy and liveability. The consultation period is open, with people invited to have their say on the city’s Open Space Strategy as well as the Horsham Urban Transport Plan. The Horsham South Structure Plan and Wimmera River and Central Activity District Visioning Project will also be open for public engagement in the coming weeks.

Final call for Rates Review feedback

People have until 5pm Thursday to have their say on the proposed changes to the way rates are calculated. An increased discount for farmers is among several proposed changes identified as part of the Draft Rating Policy and Draft Rating Strategy 2019-23.

Other planned alterations include a five per cent discount for the commercial and industrial sectors, while the residential ratepayer sector will pay a higher portion of the rate burden. Ratepayers who have read and understand the Draft Rating Policy and Draft Rating Strategy 2019-23 are encouraged to make a submission in one of the following ways: • • •

Submit an online feedback form by visiting hrcc.vic.gov.au Complete a paper copy of the form available at the Civic Centre Lodge a written response and submit via the post, in person at the Civic Centre or email to community@hrcc.vic. gov.au

For further information or discussion please contact Teagan Barents on phone 5382 9716 or email teagan.barents@hrcc. vic.gov.au Councillors resolved to undertake the Rates Review in August 2018 in response to strong opinion expressed from the farming sector after last year’s Rates Strategy consultation period had closed. The nine-person Rates Strategy Advisory Committee was then appointed to provide independent advice on a fair and equitable distribution of the rate burden across all sectors of the community. The Committee was facilitated by an independent chairperson with assistance from an independent consultant and received feedback from the community through an on-line survey, faceto-face meetings during several community drop-in sessions and through formal submissions.

Poll to decide Reconciliation Action Plan’s feature artwork A community vote will decide which piece of local artwork will feature on the cover of Horsham Rural City Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan.

The Aboriginal Advisory Committee last December invited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members to submit artwork to be included in the Reconciliation Action Plan document. Two pieces of art were submitted. They reflect the vision of the Reconciliation Action Plan, which is to create an improved understanding of Aboriginal histories, cultures, hopes and future

aspirations through fostering strong, respectful, inclusive and meaningful relationships. The most popular artwork will feature on the cover, while the runner-up will be included in the body of the document. Voting is via a HRCC Facebook poll and is open until Friday 22 March at 5pm. The artworks will be on display at the Civic Centre where people can also lodge a hard copy ballot. Visit the Have Your Say section of Council’s website for more information.

IGNITE reflects the power and passion required for change. To dare to dream, create, confront, consider and commit. It reflects the spark that generates all beginnings - when the desire meets the demand. Ignite is the impetus and the inspiration. The bold colours and strong upward flow embrace the concept of moving towards a combined connection. The intricacy of the shapes within, display the individual yet complementary moods of each.

Forum to explore migrant potential A

BY DEAN LAWSON

regional push to explore ways of encouraging more migrants to the Wimmera and southern Mallee will gain momentum at a major forum in Horsham next week.

Community leaders will join business representatives at the day-long Rural and Regional Migration Forum. The event, organised by Wimmera Development Association’s Settlement Services and Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council, will be in Horsham Town Hall on Wednesday. Community and development leaders have continually identified migration as a potential panacea for regional workforce ‘gaps’ and longterm sustainability. The forum’s underscoring theme is ‘how migration can support regional employers to fill labour gaps and grow their businesses while contributing to the long-term sustainability of rural and regional communities’. Wimmera Development Association executive director Ralph Kenyon said job vacancies had been a pressing issue in a region attempting to cope with population drift. “Migration is one tool we could to use to try to fill those vacancies and keep our communities viable,” he said. “We need to understand how migration works, how we can attract people and what we need to do to encourage people to consider the Wimmera and southern Mallee as a base for employment, lifestyle and future.” Mr Kenyon said the forum was open to anyone and particularly targeted at employers. “The project is really about connecting migrants who might be in Melbourne with job opportunities in our region,” he said. “From a big-picture perspective, migration is part of an overall jigsaw for regional development. “In some respects it’s in response to a population explosion in major capital cities and providing people with opportunities to go beyond metropolitan boundaries. “But it’s more than that. Migrants certainly add to the culturally diverse mix of communities – as we’ve seen from experiences with Luv a Duck

at Nhill. New and different people coming in exposes the broader community to different cultures and broadens our own horizons in how the region fits into the world.” Victoria’s Premier and Cabinet Department is sponsoring the forum, which is free of charge and will run from 9am to 3.30pm after an 8.30am registration. Mr Kenyon said organisers hoped to attract a crowd of about 150 to the event. Mr Kenyon announced in November last year that Wimmera communities were developing migrant-integration track records that were second to none. He said at the time he was confident the region could play a prominent role in Australian immigration with a dedicated promotion and information program – that getting timely and accurate message to new arrivals about regional opportunities was as much essential as it was progressive. He said there had been considerable discussion about ways of steering immigrants to the region, including through legislation, but it was always better if people made the move through choice. He told The Weekly Advertiser, “Most people going through migrant centres and agents in this country are probably unaware of regional opportunities open to them. I’m sure if they had a greater understanding many would make the move this way.” The forum’s key aims are to – • Identify the barriers to employers using migrant and refugee talent to fill labour market shortages; • Gain a deeper understanding of the regional labour-market issues and pressures; • Hear from employees from migrant and refugee backgrounds about what has worked to help them to settle into the community; • Hear from district employers that have successfully employed people from migrant and refugee backgrounds; • Gain awareness of the tools and resources available to employers; • Gain an understanding of regional migration and resettlement approaches; • Identify activities that will improve project co-ordination.

Ready to relive good old pub rock I

t is hard to describe with any real accuracy the atmosphere surrounding the Australian pubrock music era to emerging generations. It was a time when noisy and exuberant contemporary music, dominated by guitars and drums, ventured beyond halls into hotels and similar venues and became part of weekend life. Fuelled by enthusiastic young musical hopefuls with a desire to turn up the volume, the pub-band scene quickly embedded itself into the national consciousness – at least for the ‘young and free’ of the time. Pub-rock culture was highly influen-

tial as a cultural conductor and sits at the core of why plans for Horsham’s 60 Years of Wimmera Rock, a reunion of a similar event 10 years ago, has attracted such a strong response from reforming bands. About 50 bands, some dating back to the 1960s, will gather and perform in Horsham next year for what promises to be a huge weekend of nostalgia, reminiscing and music. Pub rock was far from confined to metropolitan audiences and spread like wildfire to the regions. While keeping pubs and clubs as a foundation, the brand soon ventured beyond the smoky and beery lounges to larger stages and concerts. Going out to the pub with mates on

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

a Friday or Saturday night from perhaps the 1970s to early 1990s, usually had the accompanying question ‘what band’s playing tonight?’ For some, if there wasn’t a band on, it wasn’t worth going. This entertainment and social culture left lifelong impressions on many people. The pub scene presented an eclectic

mix. It was far from being all bang, smash and noise. It was a nursery for various versions of pop music as well as heavy rock during a conservative era where self-expression, particularly in the regions, could be tough. The Wimmera band scene was as healthy as anywhere, the culture opening the door for many musicians who might have lacked the inclination or motivation to follow more traditional music streams. Bands of various standards played all over the place, willing to travel to far-flung pubs to perform, often and despite the grumblings and anxiety of publicans, for a relative pittance. The era provided, similar to the bards, poets and minstrels of ancient

history, an outlet for the everyday performing artist to express themselves. It just happened that the tools in this era often included electric guitars, microphones, amplifiers and crashing cymbals. As someone deeply involved in this cultural mix of the time, I’m looking forward next February to digging the drumsticks from the cupboard and dusting off an ancient drum kit that has seen better days. More importantly, I’m looking forward to catching up with old mates, some of them travelling from across the country to be involved, and reliving what many of us consider a time of plenty.

e v o r p Im the way

STACKS OF FUN: The excitement and anticipation for many Wimmera people literally piled high yesterday with various schools and organisations across the region involved in annual Pancake Day activities. Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday in Australia occurs on Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent on the Christian calendar. Various community and support organisations use the occasion to raise money to help people in need. Students from Horsham’s Ss Michael and John’s Primary School were among people who enjoyed pancakes during the day. Pictured are sisters Neve and Lani Watson. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

District braces for weekend festival

rarat district communities and businesses are bracing for a busy weekend when more than 10,000 people from around the world gather at historic Mafeking for an annual Pitch Music and Arts Festival.

The festival, in its third year, is from Friday to Sunday as part of a massive Labour Day weekend of activities across the region. The boutique music, arts, culture and camping event has a significant economic impact, with estimates that the average spend per person visiting the district is $300. Ararat Rural City Council chief ex-

ecutive Tim Harrison said Ararat district businesses were now well versed in how to prepare for the weekend. He said shops were ensuring they ordered in extra supplies for the many visitors who stocked up in Ararat before travelling to the festival site near Moyston. Dr Harrison said festival organisers alone spent about $300,000 in the district community. “Pitch’s economic impact on the region is massive and it is really great to see Ararat and Moyston so busy over the festival weekend,” he said. “Aside from the direct spend, the festival also offers a community grants program each year that awards

“The community has welcomed the festival, our staff and attendees with open arms and it is heart-warming to see the positive impact the festival has in this beautiful part of Victoria”

tional visitors, often stay and tour the region after the festival ends.” Dr Harrison said council staff had also been working closely with Pitch organisers to ensure the event’s emergency management and crowd control was adequate given a rise in numbers from last year. The event includes entertainment from international and national performers including visual and installation artists, DJs and bands, as well as market vendors selling food, clothes and market wares. Festival director Daniel Teuma said community groups running the barbecue included Moyston-Willaura Football Netball Club, Moyston Primary

19th annual bike and car show Organisers of a major annual Labour Day weekend car show in Horsham hope to again raise close to $10,000 to help families with sick children. Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids volunteers will present the 19th annual Horsham Car and Bike Show at May Park on Sunday and are keen for as many people as possible to get involved. The annual car and bike show has blossomed into one of the main attractions in Horsham during the Labor Day weekend. Car and bike enthusiasts are set to display everything from American muscle cars and hot rods to vintage vehicles and

motorcycles dating back to the start of motorised travel. Show spokesman Simon Clark said the event attracted more than 250 entries last year and the hope was to equal or better the entry this Sunday. “We’ve had inquiries from across Victoria, interstate and regionally and we usually get a lot of late calls from people looking for space,” he said. “It’s always a good day. We raised about $9500 in community contributions and donations last year and we want to be able to continue doing that while keeping the event nice and affordable for everyone. “We’re usually well support-

ed by local car clubs and this year Victoria Police is also bringing some of its vehicles along to provide people with rare insight into what makes police cars tick. “The beauty of this show is that we have a bit of everything. You name it, we have it. “A special car or bike doesn’t have to be shiny. If you love it, we do too and want to see it.” Owners will start setting up from 8am on Sunday. The event starts at 9am. Horsham District Kindergarten Association is also raising money at the event and will provide lunch and breakfast for exhibitors and general public.

School, Willaura Kindergarten and Moyston Country Fire Authority. “We’re really looking forward to our third year of Pitch Music and Arts and being a part of the Moyston, Willaura and Ararat communities for those few special weeks during the preparation and the weekend of the festival,” he said. We continue to work with the community and all stakeholders to ensure the festival operates cohesively and in sync with everyone’s interests. “The community has welcomed the festival, our staff and attendees with open arms and it is heart-warming to see the positive impact the festival has in this beautiful part of Victoria.”

More than 50 acts for band reunion A

BY DEAN LAWSON

mass musical reunion celebrating six decades of homegrown Wimmera pub music next year looms as one of the biggest events on the region’s musical events calendar.

The 60 Years of Wimmera Rock event in Horsham has attracted a final list of 48 bands and six individual performers, with people from across Australia confirming plans to be involved. Horsham Rural City Council has joined project instigators as part of a community collaboration to ensure the event is the equal of or even better than a similar 50 Years of Wimmera Rock 10 years ago. Horsham venue manager Shana Miatke said the festival had generated considerable excitement and would provide an opportunity to use many of the city’s venues to engage the community in a revival of live music. She said enthusiasm from past and present bands reuniting and perform-

ing for the occasion was paramount to the event’s success. “Artists from the past and present, emerging and professional will be part of an innovative and interesting music festival, something that our community has expressed in our recent audience development strategy consultation,” she said. Event organisers now have a major logistics task of programming the huge diversity of the bands during the three-days, scheduled from February 7 to 9 next year. They will program the bands at several venues including Horsham Town Hall, Sawyer Park Soundshell and Horsham Showground, and are encouraging bands to reconnect with Horsham district hotels, clubs and other establishments. The event is the brainchild of Horsham’s Lynton Brown, the event’s creative producer, who co-ordinated a similar event 10 years ago. “I’m incredibly humbled by the enthusiasm of the bands that have embraced the idea of reforming, and

What will the next event be like?” Expressions of interest for acts keen to perform at the event closed on February 28 and an official festival launch is scheduled for April 5.

Despite a similar number of bands performing in 2009, interest in this year’s event has far exceeded expectations. Mr Brown initially expected about a dozen bands to respond to the idea. People can follow 60 Years of Wimmera Rock on Facebook or visit the horshamtownhall.com.au for updates.

Bands: Ferdy van derRiet-Sonamatics, Acousticus Stomp, All the King’s Men, Bata Scouts, Bitz ‘N’ Pieces, Black Market, Blackboard Jungle, Blurred Lines, Coyote Duster, Crome, Doin’ Time, Fraydnot, Fyerfly, Goofinger, Grey Nurse, Hard Face Nanna, Inspiration, Johnny Thunder and the Lightnings, Last Stand, Likely Ones, Looseball Gooseball, Loungeroom Lizards, Marauder, Next of Kin, No Plans, Phatt, Rift, Riviera, Second Thoughts-Circus Animals, Shades of Troopers Creek, Smoke Witch, Spectacle, Spice, Stiff Legged Goats, Sultana Frizell, The Bunts, The Draculas, The Rusty Springs Band, The Shorts, The Spatts, The Woodsmen, Them Apples, Theme, Tres Hobres and Friends, U-Jorgan, Viscera, Wimmera Blues Brothers and X-Amount.

IN THE KNOW... Hopetoun Aerodrome The Hopetoun Aerodrome has seen much activity during the last month as major resurfacing and upgrade of the facility has been undertaken. The total cost of works being $530,000 with $250,000 being sourced from the Federal Government via the Regional Aviation Access Program. Council tendered the works and the successful contractor was Centre State Asphalting who worked closely with Council to achieve the best possible finish. This is the second part of the upgrade with the lighting system being replaced a couple of years ago at a cost of $250,000. The surface finish of the aerodrome is now superb and will be a tremendous facility for years to come, enabling air ambulance, crop sprayers, commuter aircraft and hobbyists to utilise a quality facility. The nearly 50-year-old landing strip was showing its age with surface deformation, some roughness and held water after rain in places, which was not ideal. Council staff will be making improvements to the shoulders of the main runway over the coming weeks and then the aerodrome will reopen for aircraft. Stage 3 of the project will include resealing the taxi way and the apron in front of the hanga which will occur later in the financial year. Collaborative Procurement Councils in the Wimmera Southern Mallee region, including Yarriambiack Shire Council, are currently deciding whether to undertake a combined tender for bituminous sealing works. A previous contract on the same basis will terminate in September 2019. The new contract period would ideally be 3-5 years.

City brings four projects together BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham planning will move into a significant new phase during the next six months when municipal leaders explore ways of growing the city’s socio-economic prospects.

Horsham Rural City Council has launched a Transforming Horsham project, an umbrella concept covering four major projects. The council has opened a consultation period and is inviting people to have their say on the city’s Open Space Strategy as well as Horsham Urban Transport Plan. A Horsham South Structure Plan and Wimmera River and Central Activity District Visioning Project will also be open for public engagement in the coming weeks. Council chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the Transforming Horsham brand was designed to build the community’s understanding that the four strategic plans had the same purpose – to transform Horsham. “Having four concurrent projects sit under one banner helps us co-ordinate our strategic thinking so that we can map out the best version for Horsham we can possibly imagine,” he said. Mr Bhalla said Transforming Horsham would continue the momentum of public consultation work completed during the past five years. “While we are open to new ideas, we are not asking the same questions again. Transforming Horsham will take us from the ‘how’ to exactly ‘what’ we need to do as a priority,” he said. “We will work with key stakeholders to continue the momentum created through the existing strategic work on the river and central Horsham, while also filling gaps in the areas of integrated transport planning and public open space.

“All existing ideas and knowledge will be brought together and new ideas will be captured. “The resulting concept plans will provide a clear vision with action plans that will be used to secure public and private-sector investment to make the projects happen.” The first stage of the river and central Horsham project has already started, with the council working with consultants on stakeholder engagement. Targeted activities have included workshops with a range of community groups and agency representatives. Horsham mayor Mark Radford said residents, user groups, businesses and visitors needed to be ‘front and centre’ in guiding the discussion about what the future should hold. “In mid-April we will be out and about to test community responses to project concepts and we look forward to seeing you there to give us your feedback and hearing from you online,” he said. “The council has the challenging task of accommodating growth and new development in the Wimmera, while creating modern and successful precincts which improve and protect the character of our local area. “One way we can take on this challenge and plan for the future is by having community-owned, long-term plans in place. “This project really is a partnership. It is with your help that we will be able to plan for the future. “I invite all residents to participate in all community engagement activities across the four projects to share their knowledge and ideas.” People can find out more on website www.hrcc. vic.gov.au/Our-Council/Community-Inform ation/Have-Your-Say/Transforming-Horsham.

Charlotte Dunn, Madix Hughes and Piper Brown are absent from the picture. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a youthdevelopment program designed to help empower young Australians explore their potential regardless of location or circumstances. The college includes the program, which involves participants learning a skill, improving their physical wellbeing, volunteering in the community and working as a team through a structured environment, in its curriculum.

Defibrillator for men’s shed helped ensure the safety of the shed’s members and gave them a new skill. “The men will have an opportunity to work with other community members and become more connected to the community in a safer environment, and our unemployed participants will be able to include their knowledge of how to use a defibrillator on their resumes,” he said. WDEA Works Horsham and Stawell site manager Karen Thomas said the purchase of a defibrillator would make a difference to the entire community.

Stawell Men’s Shed members have piece of mind after the purchase of a new defibrillator for the shed. The defibrillator, which delivers an electric shock that can help reset a person’s irregular heartbeat, was purchased with $2850 from disability employment services provider WDEA Works. The shed operates under the auspices of Stawell Regional Health and provides a social and supportive environment for men of all ages. Stawell Men’s Shed volunteer Phill Bennett said the machine

Farmers: Food, fibre a must in plan V

ictoria’s farming peak body has demanded protection for valuable agricultural land to be part of state solar-energy development guidelines.

Renewable-energy farms are becoming part of the state’s rural landscape, including the Wimmera and Western District, and Victorian Farmers Federation has outlined its position in response to State Government Draft Solar Energy Facilities Guidelines. VFF president David Jochinke, who farms at Murra Warra, said ensuring protection of agricultural land needed to be part of any plan involving solar-energy production and large tracts of land. “Agriculture is one of the most

Travelling on a whim To sell your home, your possessions and travel the world for more than a year takes a leap of faith. To do it with three children younger than 13 might lead some to question your sanity. That, however, has been the reality for Dutch couple Richard and Heidi Hekelaar for the past 15 months. Their journey has taken them to many unexpected places, including Russia, south-east Asia, many parts of Australia and, eventually, the Wimmera. Last week the couple and their children Lars, Nick and Inge were the guests of Horsham couple Jaye Macumber and Marie-Claude Gagne. A chance meeting by the families in Cairns months ago ended up bringing the Hekelaars to a place they had never expected. “In Cairns we were camping and we met Jaye and his family,” Mrs Hekelaar said. “Our daughters started playing together and that’s how we met them. “We spent a lot of time together in Cairns, and they said if we were ever in the vicinity of Melbourne to give them a call.” The Hekelaars slowly travelled

valuable uses of our limited land resources, and the government needs to recognise this in their guidelines for solar-energy facilities,” he said. “Unlike every other industry, there are no clear planning and building regulations for large-scale solar infrastructure developments. “This has created uncertainty and disputes as large developments spanning hundreds of hectares are rolled out without appropriate planning regulations or guidelines. “These draft guidelines are a good start, but are not sufficient to ensure agricultural land is protected. “We need a statewide, strategic plan for all renewable-energy facilities that considers how these sites will impact high-value agricultural land, commu-

“The VFF recognises there is huge opportunity for greater adoption of renewable-energy technology on farms that exists in conjunction with farming”

nity infrastructure and services, and the flow-on effects to neighbouring properties.” Solar farms have different land requirements than other renewable-energy facilities such as wind farms. Mr Jochinke, who farms near a major wind-farm development between Horsham and Warracknabeal, said

there was an opportunity for renewable-energy production and agriculture to work strongly together. “We want to maximise agricultural production and also see renewal energy grow, but to achieve this requires the provision of clear guidelines to ensure the two can coexist without conflict,” he said. “We have seen recent examples of farmers and communities feeling threatened by applications for solar-energy industrial facilities for which the value to the community is unclear and where these facilities would significantly impact the landscape. “Our members are also concerned by potential unintended consequences for properties neighbouring solar facili-

ties, which we believe requires further scientific investigation. “The VFF recognises there is huge opportunity for greater adoption of renewable-energy technology on farms that exists in conjunction with farming. “This includes solar panels on sheds, which do not interfere with existing production and allow farmers to decrease their input costs. “The Andrews government appears to have a strong focus on renewable energy. “If this is to succeed, clear and fair planning guidelines must be implemented to recognise the importance of agriculture and meet community expectations.”

“They were so welcoming and relaxed, it was a great experience.” The Hekelaars stayed with Mr Macumber and Ms Gagne for a few days before departing for Adelaide on Thursday. The family will spend two weeks in South Australia’s capital before flying home to the Netherlands. Mrs Hekelaar said the family had decided to travel for a year because

their sons had skipped ahead in school and were struggling to adjust. The family sold its house and possessions to fund the trip, and will move into a smaller residence when it returns to the Netherlands. Mrs Hekelaar said the experience of travelling with three young children had been a positive one. “It is totally different to travelling

alone,” she said. “You travel much slower, but that’s also good. We discovered how lovely people around the world are. “Because of our kids we connected with Jaye and his family and made beautiful friendships, whereas if we were alone we probably would never have met them.” – Colin MacGillivray

down Australia’s east coast and by last month were planning a trip to the Grampians. They were searching for accommodation in the area when Mr Macumber called them and offered to let them stay at his house in Horsham. “They welcomed us as a family of five, which was so nice,” Mrs Hekelaar said.

After rising for eight consecutive sales, the Australian wool market has recorded losses in Week 35. When compared to the previous sale the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) closed 11 cents lower; the first week-onweek loss for the 2019 calendar year. The rally concluded last week at eight consecutive sales of increases, seven consecutive sales since the first sale of the year, the best start to a calendar year since 2006. Last week’s price increases encouraged more sellers to the market, resulting in 48,948 bales on offer nationally, this was the third largest sale of the season. Despite the increased offering, the yearly national offering is still well down. There has been 173,927 less bales put through the auction system, compared to the same time last year, a reduction of 13.4%. Melbourne again sold in isolation on the first day of selling (Tuesday). The market quickly realised the losses, that were experienced in Western region on the final selling day of the previous week. Prices generally fell by 25 to 35 cents. When sales resumed on the second day, it was Sydney’s turn to record these losses, generally 15 to 35 cents. Melbourne and Fremantle steadied however, and both centres recorded modest increases for the day. In a contrast to the previous week, there were positive signs to finish the series, the three regional indicators all recorded increases on the final day. Fremantle selling last recorded the largest increase, the Western Indicator rose by 12 cents. It is also worth noting that the Fremantle region recorded healthy increases, when compared to the previous week. The crossbreds had mixed results, 28.0 and 30.0 dipped slightly below the records achieved last sale, while 26.0 and 32.0 managed 20 cent increases. Next week quantities reduce slightly, currently there are 46,128 bales on offer in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

WORK OF ART: Russian street artist Julia Volchkova painted the Rupanyup silos during a two-week period in April 2017. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Silo trail delivers to communities

he State Government has revealed Yarriambiack Shire’s Silo Art Trail, ‘Australia’s largest outdoor gallery’, has led to a monthly increase of more than 570 visitors to the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

Regional Development Minister Jaclyn Symes said an 11-month economic analysis of the impact of the silo trail also showed a visitor-spending increase of at least $260,000. Minister Symes revealed the details during a visit to Rupanyup at the southern end of the 200-kilometre trail last week. She heard how grain silos in Rupanyup, featuring a giant hand-painted mural, was attracting tourists to the area and boosting the district economy. “Victoria’s silos are being given a new lease on life, and we’re excited to see tourists following the Silo Art Trail and deliver tourism money to small towns along the way,” she said. “Tourism is crucial to the future of regional and rural Victoria and the Silo Art Trail is putting a spotlight on the Wimmera and southern Mallee – both at home and internationally.” Russian street artist Julia Volchkova painted the Rupanyup silos during a two-week period in April 2017. It was one of six silo projects coordinated by street-art specialist Juddy Roller, working with Yarriambiack Shire Council and strongly ad-

vocated by former mayor, regional farmer and now independent candidate for the Federal seat of Mallee Ray Kingston. Ms Symes said Yarriambiack council had employed a staff member, through Visit Victoria, to help promote the art trail, which also includes silo artworks at Brim, featuring the art of Guido van Helten, Sheep Hills, Adnate, Lascelles, Rone, Rosebery, Kaff-eine and Patchewollock, Fintan Magee. The economic analysis was part of government support of the project designed to boost visitors, diversify the economy and make the most of what the Wimmera and Grampians had to offer. The government, keen to grow and cement Victoria’s claim as the home of silo art, has also provided funding for new artworks in the region this year through a Pick My Project program. Silo art projects are earmarked for Goroke, Serviceton and Kaniva in the region’s west and also in Nullawil in the Mallee. Premier Daniel Andrews announced speculative plans for a major expansion of the art trail during a visit in 2017 that included expanding the silo trail by an extra 12 silos. At the time the government provided $500,000 to help promote the trail and develop a tourism plan to attract more visitors to the region.

Prestigious event at Great Western S

eppelt Wines at Great Western has joined a prominent list of venues presenting events as part of Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

The winery will present Great Western’s Longest Underground Lunch on March 16. The event in Seppelt’s historic underground cellars and hosted by Great

Western Enterprises represents the first time Seppelt Wines has been part of the festival. Each year food and wine lovers flock to Melbourne in their thousands to immerse themselves in a gastronomic playground of fresh produce, innovative chefs, award-winning restaurants and award-winning wine. Great Western Enterprises managing director Danial Ahchow said the

group was ecstatic to be able to showcase Grampians food and wine in such a unique location. “It will be a feast of Grampians local produce, paired brilliantly with Seppelt award-winning wines,” he said. “The underground cellars are like a hidden gem. There are a few who have experienced underground dining at Seppelt and I am sure it is an experience they continue to share for years.

“We are told stories about the celebrations of years gone by underground in the cellars. Hans Irvine, who owned the winery at the turn of last century was a well-connected aristocrat who brought the likes of Dame Nellie Melba and Mark Twain to Great Western.” Mr Ahchow said gold miners first hand-dug the heritage-listed underground cellars in 1865. “They are known to be the longest

in the southern hemisphere. There is more than three kilometres of handdug drives,” he said. “It will be an event that our guests will talk about for a long time. You simply cannot experience anything else like it in Australia. We can’t wait.” People can book tickets to the event on the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival website, www.melbournefood andwine.com.au.

Predictions of warm autumn

READY TO POUR: From left, Philippa Hale, Carole McGregor and Meryl Poole prepare for Pancake Day in Ararat.

Flowers and pancakes in Ararat Ararat community has an invitation to attend a St Andrew’s Uniting Church Pancake Day on Wednesday next week. Pancake Day is raising money to support the work of Uniting, the community services organisation of Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania. Officially, Pancake Day was on Shrove Tuesday, yesterday, the last day before the start of Lent, a period of Christian fasting and prayer in the run-up to Easter. Event spokeswoman Philippa Hale said people would traditionally use up luxury goods in the pantry such as flour, butter and eggs, before the Lenten period of abstinence. “Pancake Day is a great way for us to get

together, enjoy eating and help others at the same time,” she said. “We’ve been taking part in the Pancake Day Appeal for many years.” Uniting provides support services to vulnerable and marginalised people across Victoria and Tasmania. St Andrew’s Pancake Day in Ararat will be from 10am to 1pm. This year’s theme is ‘Flowers, Flowers Everywhere’ and the event will feature an eclectic display of flowers in many forms – from tablecloths, jewellery to crockery and books. Entry is $7.50 for all you can eat and bottomless cups of tea and coffee. Entry is free for children to age 12.

Winery is back in business Treasury Wine Estates has confirmed that Great Western Winery will recommence fruit-processing operations. The winemaking company

Wednesday, March 6, 2019

announced plans to process fruit from the 2019 vintage for several of its leading wine brands, supporting demand across the business.

The winery, which ceased production after the 2016 vintage, has been maintained and operations will start again in March.

National weather forecasters are predicting a warmer-than-average autumn for much of Australia. The Bureau of Meteorology’s updated 2019 autumn outlook shows drier than average conditions are likely for large parts of northern and eastern Australia, and warmer than average conditions ‘very’ likely for the entire country. The information comes on the back of what will be Australia’s warmest summer on record. The bureau’s long-range forecasting manager Dr Andrew Watkins acknowledged the outlook was not the news many would want to hear. “After a record hot December and January it won’t come as a surprise that this summer will be our warmest on record, and apart from areas of northern Queensland, many locations fell short of their summer rainfall averages too,” he said. “Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t giving a strong indication that we’ll see a return to average or above average rain in many areas over the autumn period. The only exception is for parts of inland Western Australia.” Dr Watkins said autumn was obviously a critical time of year for agriculture, particularly in the southern parts of the country.

“It’s important to remember that despite what the outlook is suggesting, individual heavy rainfall events are always possible, and people should stay up to date with the latest seven-day forecast and warnings for their area,” he said. Outlook details also show warmer-than-average conditions are ‘very’ likely to continue through autumn. “If we have a look at what’s driving the outlook, we can see that Australia’s two main climate drivers in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole are currently in a neutral phase, meaning there’s no strong influence from either,” Dr Watkins said. “But things have been warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean over the past month, so we are currently at ‘El Niño watch’ – meaning double the normal chance of an El Niño forming in autumn. “We are also observing cooler-than-average waters off the coast of Western Australia, which might reduce the number of rain-bearing systems impacting the south of the country. “We also know that 24 of the last 29 years have seen a drier than average start to autumn in south-eastern Australia, due to a long-term southwards shift of our weather patterns.”

Work ongoing in Halls Gap The latest project in stage one of a Halls Gap action plan is underway. The project includes installation of a raised pedestrian crossing on Grampians Road, drainage, kerb and paving works. Disabled ramps, stairs, landscaping, street lighting and new street furniture will follow. Northern Grampians Shire Council has declared it will try to complete the work program by Easter, while maintaining pedestrian access to businesses at all times. A works compound will be stationed in the small car park opposite Coolas Ice Creamery. South West Ward councillor Jason Hosemans said the project was a major part of improving road safety in Halls Gap. “We’re hopeful that it will be completed prior to the peak time of Easter,” he said.

Work will lead to temporary traffic disruption and the council has urged drivers to obey all traffic lights and works signs at all times. Work on another section of the action plan, which includes upgrades to School Road, is nearing completion. School Road work has included three new raised pedestrian crossings, upgrades to a drainage system, widening of the road, kerb and channel, new car parks, a new retaining wall beside a caravan park, pedestrian path links and signs. Construction of a new 600-metre dual-use path is also complete. People seeking more information on Halls Gap Action Plan: Stage One can visit council’s website www.ngshire.vic.gov.au/EngagiNG/ Halls-Gap-Village-Centre-Action-Plan-StageOne.

HAY RUNNERS: Wimmera men Scott Finnigan, left, and Bernie Delahunty pose with a load of hay bound for drought-affected Cloncurry in Queensland last month. It was the pair’s second hay run in as many months.

‘Simply helping those in need’ D

BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

riving a truck loaded with tonnes of hay thousands of kilometres for several days to support stricken farmers is an admirable act of selflessness.

To do it twice in as many months is an incredible effort. For Wimmera man Scott Finnigan, it was simply a way to help those in need. Mr Finnigan returned home last month after driving to flood-affected Cloncurry in northwest Queensland with Murtoa farmer Bernie Delahunty as part of a Burrumbuttock Hay Runners relief effort. The McGennisken family, from south of Horsham, donated the load of hay delivered by the pair. The hay runners, started in 2014 by Brendan Farrell, have rallied around struggling farmers in New South Wales and Queensland, providing temporary relief from drought with truckloads of hay. Last month’s trip came after Mr Finnigan and Mr Delahunty made a similar run to Quilpie, also in Queensland, in January. Mr Finnigan said despite having just made a run to Queensland, he knew another one was necessary after seeing the devastating impact of flooding in Cloncurry. “Bernie rang me late one night when the flooding started and we talked about maybe going up there to help out,” he said. “Then Brendan Farrell organised the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners to do a last-minute dash and we decided we would do it again because it

was the right thing to do, even though it was a bloody long way. “We were briefed in Ilfracombe by AgForce Queensland the night before going to Cloncurry and they told us the area affected was about 13 million hectares, or twice the size of Victoria, which is obviously massive. That’s when the scale of it all hit home. “A lot of fences were washed away, roads, bridges and creek crossings were knackered and there were a lot of dead cattle.” Mr Finnigan estimated at least 40 trucks made the 5000-kilometre round trip, including about eight trucks from the Wimmera. He said the hay runners were hailed as heroes when they reached their destination. “The locals were unreal,” he said. “They were out on the side of the road cheering you on as you were coming in, which was pretty cool. “That gives you a good feeling. We were very appreciative of the reception we got.” Mr Finnigan admitted he was ‘knackered’ after driving back in two days so he and Mr Delahunty could keep work commitments. But he said he would not hesitate to repeat the trip if necessary. “It’s a really good experience,” he said. “It’s very rewarding and you meet a lot of people. It’s good to do something to help someone out who isn’t as fortunate as yourself. “What I’ve found is that you think things are not too good here, but when you do the run you find things are not that bad here – there is always someone doing it a bit tougher than yourself.”

Horsham and District Relay For Life

Get involved... P

BY LOTTE REITER

reparations for an annual Horsham and district community fight against cancer are primed and organisers want as many people as possible to get involved.

Horsham and District Relay for Life will be at Dock Lake Reserve next week and is likely to attract hundreds of walkers determined to keep a cancer conversation strong. Horsham Relay for Life committee member Tami Lane described the event as a touching and unique opportunity to bring the community together and raise money for Cancer Council Australia. She said taking part in the event was a perfect way to honour and admire people affected by cancer. The March 15 and 16 relay will involve teams and individuals setting up camps and sites and relaying around the reserve oval for 18 hours. Participants will use the occasion to honour loved ones who have been lost, fighting or have survived battles against cancer. “A lot of people coming along are there because family and friends have been diagnosed,” Ms Lane said. “But we’re seeing many more because they have work and former colleagues battling cancer too.” Long-term Relay for Life supporter Michael Grayling from Heathmont will be guest speaker at the relays ‘Survivors and Carers’ function this year.

Page

The gathering follows the opening ceremony at 5.45pm on Friday and the first relay lap honouring carers and survivors. Also known as ‘Mr Relay’, Grayling is a cancer survivor himself and has participated in more than 800 relays. Wimmera performing artists also have an invitation to showcase their talent throughout the event, in order to maintain motivation. Artists this year include Maddi Ostapiw, Kessia Brooke and All the King’s Men. “It’s a bit like a carnival atmosphere,” Ms Lane said. “There are home-baked goods, cakes, activities and live music. It’s very familyorientated and supportive.”

Be creative

Ms Lane said awards on offer at the relay would encourage participants to be creative. She said awards included ‘best decorated site’ and ‘most unique baton’. “There’s been some ingenious ones in the past,” she said. “It’s just a fun atmosphere, and such a social event too.” Horsham Relay for Life has a reputation for generating social connectivity. Ms Lane described how it sparked discussions between strangers, prompting them to consider their own health. “Even if just one person goes and gets checked as a result it’s life changing,” she said. “Cancer is just unstoppable right now.

But if we can get people to think outside the square – there’s so many places it comes from. It’s injury, it’s trauma.” Relay for Life raises money for Cancer Council research, information, disease prevention and support services. Ms Lane said fundraising became particularly important when considering the isolation and struggle many regional patients experienced while undergoing treatment. “It’s not just about funding the research but about providing support for patients in the region,” she said. For people keen to get involved and support this year’s Relay for Life but don’t know where to look, ‘Team Involved’ is again up and running, led by Mary Dalgleish. Team Involved is a random collective of people put together to form a relay team. “It’s open to absolutely anybody. Just come and see us on the day and we’ll chaperone you to the registration tent,” Ms Lane said. “You’ll meet a group of people who are in the exact same boat.” She also said despite the relay being at a Horsham district site, it would be fantastic to see people from across the region attend and support the cause. “We also know it’s a little bit of a drive for Horsham people, but we still encourage everyone to come out. What’s 10 minutes of your day?” Ms Lane said. “And we have no neighbours, nobody to disrupt. So, the live music can go a bit longer and help those walking.”

Horsham and District Relay For Life Business Horsham

Youth Collective

Number of participants in team: We’re still recruiting at the moment, but about six so far. Team leader: Sarah Kelm. Number of years participating: This is our first time. Reasons for participating: It’s a bit of a mix of reasons for us. We’re involved to raise money for cancer research and support services. We also decided to create the Business Horsham team to provide an opportunity for sole traders and business owners who do not have enough staff to form their own team, to get involved. Fundraisers planned: We are selling raffle tickets from Freijah Menswear in Horsham. Age range of team members: From Hair Art business owner and Business seven to about 60. Horsham team member Leonie Irwin.

Number of participants in team: 30 to 40. Team leader: Lucy McKinnon. Number of years participating: We have been attending for about three to four years, but this year we have changed our name and are helping the Relay for Life committee with facilitating further initiatives. Reasons for participating: We are eager to join community events and support the Relay for Life cause. We’d also like to encourage teenagers to become more involved in the community. Fundraisers planned: Nothing as yet. Age range of team members: From 12 to adult leaders in their 20s.

Dadswells Dawdlers

Number of participants in team: 10. Team leader: Margaret McDonald. Number of years participating: We’ve been participating since the beginning, when Relay for Life first started here in Horsham in 2001. Reasons for participating: Initially it was because my mother Lyn Smith started Relay for Life in Horsham, so I got involved that way. It’s a very good cause, but it’s even more significant this year because my brother, Peter Smith, died in August last year from cancer. A lot of our teams’ participants are connected to cancer through work, because we’re part of the healthcare system. Fundraisers planned: We do raffles and raise money through sponsorship as well. We also clean up after Wimmera and Horsham District league football matches. Age range of team members: 50s to 60s.

Number of participants in team: 22. Team leader: Jennifer Green. Number of years participating: This will be our first. Reasons for participating: We decided to get involved because we’ve had cancer affect us directly. My husband Max Green battled with cancer and we have really good friends whose son Zane is currently affected. Zane was diagnosed with brain tumours and wasn’t supposed to live past Christmas, but he’s still here. Fundraisers planned: We decided to concentrate on two big fundraisers. We had a fish and chip night at the Giant Koala on February 22 which raised about $1300. Also, this Saturday we have a barbeque night planned at Grampians Edge Caravan Park at 6.30pm. We have more than 100 people coming along and there’ll be entertainment and quite a lot of raffles too. We’ve just been blown away with the support so far. Age range of team members: 30 to 72.

Friday 15th March @ Taylors Take Football Clubrooms, Dock Lake Reserve 6:00pm Survivors & Carers Lap 6:30pm Survivors & Carers Function Relay For Life is a celebration of cancer survivorship, sending a message of hope that people do survive cancer. We come together each year in over 200 community Relay For Life events around Australia to celebrate cancer Survivors and their Carers. No one should face cancer alone, so whether you’re a Survivor or Carer, getting involved in your local Relay For Life can introduce you to others who are facing similar challenges and create opportunities for sharing stories, friendship and hope. What is the Survivors and Carers lap all about? The first lap of Relay honour’s cancer Survivors and Carers who take to the track, proudly wearing coloured sashes. All participants gather around the track to applaud the courage and strength shown by those completing the lap. With motivation levels high, all participants walk the second lap together. Who can take part? All cancer Survivors and Carers are welcome to take part in the walk, whether they are part of a team or not. Survivors are those who are now cancer-free or those who are currently undergoing treatment. Carers include those walking with the person they care for and those walking in honour of a loved one lost. After the walk participants are invited to attend a function. You will be entertained by two guest speakers who have interesting cancer stories to share. Come and meet others who have also travelled this road and celebrate the amazing friendships made on the journey. For further information please contact Kingsley Dalgleish on 0417 548 198 or Cancer Council Victoria on 1300 65 65 85 You don’t need to have cancer to fight cancer!

Grampians are our responsibility BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

he Wimmera is a vast and beautiful place.

From its iconic, sprawling wheat fields to the arid scrubland of Little Desert National Park to its many lakes and rivers, the Wimmera is as diverse as it is picturesque. And perhaps nowhere else in our region is so much beauty so spectacularly distilled than in the iconic Grampians National Park. Stand in the town of Halls Gap and you can observe people from around the globe gawking at the gumclad sandstone peaks rising up around them. But the Grampians are not just for international visitors to enjoy. Last month I was lucky enough to walk the first stage of the fledgling Grampians Peaks Trail with four mates. The trail is a planned 13-day, 12-night hike from Mount Zero at the northern end of the park to Dunkeld in the south. Currently only a three-day loop centring on Halls Gap is open to the public, with the rest of the trail due to be completed by next year. Three days were enough to get a taste of what a spectacular trail this will be.

The trail

The first day takes in some wellknown sights, meandering past the Venus Baths rock pools before climbing through the unique Grand Canyon and Silent Street gorges on its way up to the Pinnacle lookout. The second day takes in the views from the peak of Mount Rosea before descending to the southern end of Lake Bellfield, then looping back along the eastern edge of the lake and back into Halls Gap on day three. At every turn the spectacular natural beauty of the park awed us. Its beautiful rock formations, abundance of wildlife — including, unfortunately, snakes — and sweeping mountaintop vistas were utterly captivating. When I asked my companions to describe their experience of the hike, words such as ‘stunning’, ‘majestic’, ‘untouched’ and ‘pristine’ were offered.

The park is a mecca for tourists — reports by Grampians Tourism and Business Victoria have shown it is the third most visited national park in Victoria after the Twelve Apostles and Point Nepean national parks. Its tourism industry generates nearly $300-million annually for the local economy. The Grampians Peaks Trail will only add to its reputation as a tourist drawcard. A 2014 Grampians Peaks Trail master plan estimated the trail would generate $6.39-million in annual revenue by 2025, with nearly 35,000 overnight and day walkers using it. Parks Victoria hopes the trail might one day contend with Tasmania’s famous Overland Track as one of Australia’s best multi-day walking experiences.

Cultural heritage

Just as important as Grampians National Park’s economic significance is it historical and cultural significance. The area, also known as Gariwerd, is central to the dreaming stories of the traditional owners of the land — the Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali people. In their tradition the ancestor spirit Bunjil shaped Gariwerd and took shelter in its sandstone cliffs before ascending into the sky and becoming a star. The range houses some of the most important Aboriginal rock art sites in Australia and archaeological sites dated to more than 20,000 years old. About 90 percent of the known rock

GREAT OUTDOORS: Last month The Weekly Advertiser journalist Colin MacGillivray hiked with four friends on the Grampians Peaks Trail. They are pictured clockwise from top left at the Grand Canyon, Pinnacle lookout and the peak of Mount Rosea. Pictures: COLIN MacGILLIVRAY art sites in Victoria are located in the park. Given the Grampians’ vital historical, cultural and economic importance to the Wimmera, it was dismaying to report last month that several rock climbing sites in the park had been closed indefinitely by Parks Victoria. Among the concerns listed by Parks Victoria chief operating officer Simon Talbot were climbers damaging plant life, forming illegal campfire rings, and leaving rubbish behind — including used toilet paper. Some climbers have also placed bolts into rock walls within metres of sacred and historically significant Aboriginal rock art.

Our responsibility

While most rock climbers are respectful of the environment, the climbing bans should come as a wakeup call to them and all who use the park. Something so vital to our region’s collective historical and economic identity should be cherished and protected above all else. Outdoor activities in an unspoiled natural environment can be one of life’s great joys, but care should be taken to ensure they remain unspoiled so future generations can enjoy them too. Planners mapped out the route of

the Grampians Peaks Trail with input from traditional owners and conservation scientists. Perhaps this model of collaboration to ensure conservation is a way forward for rock climbing groups. Tighter links between Parks Victoria, local Indigenous groups and park users cannot be a bad thing. Ultimately they could help ensure that when future generations come to see the Grampians, just like my friends, words such as ‘untouched’ and ‘pristine’ are the first to come to their minds as well.

Community grant extension

TRAINING BASE: Corrections Minister Ben Carroll, Corrections Victoria commissioner Emma Cassar and Hopkins Correctional Centre general manager Scott Jacques at the opening of a new training facility at Ararat.

Ararat district community and sporting groups have an extra month to apply for the latest round of Ararat Rural City Council community grants. Applications for the program will now close on March 29. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the grants provided money for projects and activities that built healthy, vibrant communities and sustained important community infrastructure. He said the program also aimed to encourage groups to work together to share and benefit from community resources. “Groups can apply for grants of up to $20,000 with matching funding for infrastructure projects, or up to $1000 for smaller projects that don’t require matching funds,” he said. “It really is a great opportunity for commu-

nity groups to obtain funds to support their projects, and we encourage anyone interested to apply. “We love to see organisations being innovative and creative, and addressing needs within their communities when applying for grants, so get your thinking caps on and apply for a grant.” Applicants can obtain an application form and fact sheet online at www.ararat.vic.gov. au, by phoning 5355 0200, or by calling into the council’s Ararat office at 59 Vincent Street. Dr Harrison said the fact sheet provides more details on application requirements, categories and eligibility criteria. The council is also recommending prospective applicants chat with the council’s community team by calling 5355 0200.

Ararat training complex opens

rarat is now formally home to a $4-million corrections training centre after an official opening of the new facilities.

Corrections Minister Ben Carroll opened the purpose-built centre during a visit to Ararat last week. The site will be the training base for prison staff and officers from Security and Emergency Services Group, SESG. SESG is a tactical operation unit that provides specialised security, emergency response and other services to Corrections Victoria facilities including private prisons, Community Correctional Services and youth justice facilities. The new facility is next to Hopkins Correctional Centre and includes a tactical training area, dog kennels and dog-training area, classrooms, overnight accommodation for SESG officers and correctional staff when required between shifts, office space and amenities. The training site took eight months to build and followed the demolition of a previous training facility to enable construction of nearby Riv-

ergum Residential Treatment Centre. It is the second one of its kind in Victoria, with the other at Lara. SESG units are based at four prison locations across Victoria including Barwon Prison, Metropolitan Remand Centre, Loddon Prison and the Hopkins Correctional Centre. Authorities can deploy the units to any corrections facility across the state to search, patrol or respond to emergencies, and include Passive Alert Detection and multi-purpose canine teams. The first of two multi-purpose canine teams will begin training at the centre from April, and expectations are that up to 300 prison staff will use the facility throughout the year. “This new complex means our hard-working and dedicated staff and specialist officers working in our prisons have access to the very best training and facilities,” Mr Carroll said. “About 300 prison staff are expected to train at this new facility over the next 12 months – and we’re giving them the tools they need to keep our prisons safe.”

He said the vouchers, available at the council’s Ararat office and transfer stations, were valid from March 1 to 31. “This is a great opportunity for residents to use their local transfer station for free and dispose of rubbish they might have accumulated,” he said. The vouchers can be used for

the disposal of hard waste and cannot be used for e-waste, asbestos, dead animals, green waste or commercial waste. Hard waste includes items such as furniture, lounge suites, mattresses, fridges, dryers, washing machines, white-grey goods, books, nursery items and tyres.

Machinery Field Days

Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER

Patrons soak up atmosphere A

BY DEAN LAWSON

revamped Wimmera Machinery Field Days schedule went under the spotlight yesterday as event organisers threw open the gates for Twilight Tuesday attractions.

Twilight Ag Expo activities, free of charge from 3pm and designed to establish greater connectivity between everyday working people and the field days, followed a solid start to the three-day event. By noon yesterday a crowd had steadily grown at Wimmera Events Centre at Longerenong as patrons made the most of warm autumn conditions. With farm machinery providing a traditional backbone to the field days, farmers explored a vast array of latest products and information available. Others sought out other attractions ranging from animal shows to hobby-farm produce, recreation and trade-product offerings to motocross and student showcases. There were a variety of displays and goods capturing patron attention.

After providing a free evening of twilight events, field days volunteers were preparing for a bumper traditional ‘Wednesday Family Day’ today and big finale tomorrow. Field days manager Murray Wilson said during the hubbub of activities late yesterday that he had been impressed by an opening-day crowd. He said a general impression from many was there seemed to be much more on display than other years. “In terms of value for exhibitors, we had reports some car dealers sold cars on the opening day and another big company had sold a truck trailer, which is all good news,” he said. “Everyone we’ve spoken to has been impressed with the level of products on display. “Major agribusinesses have made a huge effort in making a showcase of their displays, sometimes with products coming from all over the country. “We’re also having great weather. “After a week and a half of 40 degrees people have wanted to get out and experience the fresh air. The field days have plenty of that.”

Federal Member for New England and former National Party leader and Agriculture and Water Minister Barnaby Joyce travelled to the Wimmera to officially open the Field Days. He said his visit meant a lot to him and provided him with an opportunity to mix with the region’s farming community. “I find it very important. As soon as I get in the door I start having a yarn with people,” he said. “I find out what’s going on, get some idea of how the season’s going, how their crop went, how they are going with sheep and wool and then more importantly say, ‘what can I do? What do I take away from here to try to help you?’ “I then try give them a bit of feedback on how other areas are going – from floods in the north to drought in the middle to the so-so season around here. “Unless you get out and about and keep your ears open you’re not going to be able to help people much at all. “It’s a great honour to be here.”

Historic shed opens six days A

n increase in vistor numbers to Murtoa’s historic Stick Shed has prompted a mangagement committee to extend opening hours.

Murtoa Stick Shed management committee chairwoman Judith Welsh said visitor numbers during the past 12 months ‘clearly’ indicated the Stick Shed was a huge attraction to people in the region as well as visitors. The heritage-listed building is now open to the public six days a week. The Stick Shed, previously only open on Sundays, will now be open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 12.30pm each day and on Sundays from 10am to 2pm. It will be closed on Mondays. “Being open on Sundays only has meant that many potential visitors have been unable to view this magnificent icon,” Ms Welsh said. “People touring the Silo Art Trail have become aware of the Stick Shed during their tours and have been disappointed when making an inquiry that the shed is not open. “Our secretary David Grigg reports that he receives 10 to 15 calls a week from tourists who wish to visit the shed outside advertised opening times. “By extending our opening times it is hoped that many more people can experience this magnificent building.” The Murtoa Stick Shed, a dominant feature of the eastern edge

of Murtoa, was constructed as temporary grain storage during the Second World War. Known then as The Murtoa No1 Grain Storage, it received its first delivery of grain in January 1942. Constructed in three months, the shed is an example of bush-carpentry ingenuity. An imposing building, the Stick Shed is 265 metres long, 60 metres wide and is 19 metres high at its apex. Due to the unavailability of steel during the war, construction involved 560 unmilled mountain ash timber poles in its construction. The dramatic interior view of the building and its hundreds of poles has led to it being referred to as ‘the cathedral of the Wimmera’. The Stick Shed is listed by Heritage Victoria and is number 101 on the National Heritage Register. The listing has provided recognition to a significant part of Australian history associated with the wheat industry and the impact of the Second World War on a rural and remote Wimmera of the time. Ms Welsh encouraged large groups keen to visit the structure to continue to book their visit. She said groups could book via e-mail address thestickshed@ gmail.com, where they would receive confirmation and further information regarding attractions and facilities available in Murtoa.

Charity event for hospital Organisers of a community charity concert in Ararat on April 6 hope to raise at least $1500 for the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. Event spokesman Carl Forshaw said the concert, run by a group of Ararat volunteers from a variety of community groups, would be at 7pm at Ararat Uniting Hall. He said Ararat City Band, Sing Australia Ararat branch members and other Ararat district entertainers would perform at the concert. “Entry is by donation and we will be selling raffle tickets, having a lucky door prize and will also auction a handful of donated prizes during the night,” he said. This year’s concert is the second organised by the volunteer group, who raised about $1280 at Chalambar Golf Club last year. Mr Forshaw said the event would include a light supper but people could also bring their own snacks.

‘Teal ladies’ ready to race

EXPERIENCE: Extended hours at Murtoa Stick Shed will provide an opportunity for an increase in visitors to the region to see the heritage-listed building.

Horsham Harness Racing Club will raise money for women’s cancer research at its Decron Invitation Drivers meeting on Monday. The main event on the program will be a ‘Team Teal Ladies Day’ at West Side Horsham. Tickets are $25 and available at the venue. People can also make donations via website teamteal.everyday hero.com.

Pssst ... are you a Learner Driver? Don’t have a car or supervising driver so are having difficulty getting your mandatory driving hours? Licencing the Wimmera has spots available for you in its L2P program! If you’re aged 16-21 and already have your L’s - give us a call to discuss eligibility (and please share, share, share among your friends!)

CAN YOU SPARE SOME TIME...? We are also looking for L2P driving mentors who can supervise learners. If you have a current Victorian drivers licence and a good driving history, are able to attend 1 day VicRoads training, can pass our standard checks (Working with Children, Police check), and can spare some time to supervise a learner, please get in touch!

WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD.

More than meets the eye PARTICIPATION in the L2P program meant more to Brianna Starick than just gaining the required driving hours to achieve her probationary licence. With her brother and sister also previously taking part, Brianna said although she was fortunate to be able to complete some driving practice with them, it was nice to have an extra hour or so of practice per week. “I started the program in April 2017, and, although I did initially join to get the extra hours up, my sessions turned into mini counselling sessions sometimes,” she said. “My mentor, Robin Parr, was fantastic. He was so easy to talk to and our weekly drives became a chance to have a deep and meaningful conversation, in a way.” “With Robin being English, it was also great to get to know someone from a different background, or who might have been someone I wouldn’t have necessarily had a chance to interact with otherwise.” “I really enjoyed the sessions.” Proud to gain her probationary licence in March 2018, Brianna said the freedom that came with driving felt great.

Confidence and courage A SERIES of unfortunately timed events in the weeks after Shania Cleaver gained her learner permit led her to the L2P program. “The week I got my L’s my mum had to have surgery and couldn’t drive for a few months, then the radiator in my brother’s car blew up so that was out of action as well, meaning it was difficult to access either an instructing driver or car,” Shania said. “I joined L2P in August and was matched with mentor Wayne Lentsment who has become a friend and who has been excellent at teaching me the road rules and what to do on different surfaces,” she said. Born in New Zealand Shania, 18, finds it easy to fit driving practice around her studies, generally driving with Wayne each Wednesday. And she says her driving confidence has increased remarkably as a result of the practice: “When I first started I could barely turn the steering wheel, but now we often drive to Murtoa or on gravel roads”. “I am looking forward to doing some night driving as well as getting practice on other road surfaces, which will help me when I go for my P’s,” she said. Praising his charge, Wayne described Shania as “very mature” and said he enjoys both hearing about Shania’s life experiences, and sharing his own.

McGrath to advocate for farmers BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

inyip’s Tom McGrath has encouraged young Wimmera farmers to have their say as he prepares to represent them at a meeting with new Victorian Minister for Agriculture Jaclyn Symes next week.

Mr McGrath is a member of the Young Farmers Advisory Council, a ministerial advisory body working with the State Government to advocate for young farmers. The council will meet in Melbourne on March 13 and expects Ms Symes to attend. Ms Symes took over the agriculture

portfolio from Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford. Mr McGrath said it was a valuable opportunity to express the concerns of young people in the agriculture industry. “What we’re aiming to get out of the meeting is to put down on the table the issues being raised by young farmers within the agricultural sector,” he said. “What I’m encouraging is for people to continue to contact me so I can look at everyone’s thoughts and try to put it into a bigger picture that I can take into the meeting. “It will be about providing advice to government and raising the concerns

of young farmers.” Mr McGrath said the issues facing young farmers were myriad. He said some of the biggest concerns among young farmers were mental health and land access. “Trying to get the financial support to purchase a farm is hard with land prices being so expensive,” he said. “Mental health can be related to all industries, but certainly it can depend on the volatility of weather, drought, floods, milk prices, grain prices and market conditions when you have good and bad seasons.” Mr McGrath said the advisory council’s job was to work with government to come up with a way forward.

“In regards to access financially, I think we need to look at other alternatives rather than purchasing a farm,” he said. “We need to have a really strong look at leasing opportunities and share farming opportunities as well. “They are two things that could be focused on rather than trying to purchase a farm outright. “It is a huge expense – not just the land, but the equipment – and you have to hope the season is kind to you. It is a big risk that you take.” Mr McGrath said people could contact him to share their concerns by emailing thomasjmcgrath@outlook. com.

Delivery for families in need Wimmera-Mallee politicians have put their shoulder behind a community nappy project designed to help disadvantaged families and victims of domestic violence. Member for Lowan Emma Kealy and Nationals candidate for the federal seat of Mallee Dr Anne Webster delivered more than 1000 disposable nappies to Horsham’s Christian Emergency Food Centre for redistribution last week. Ms Kealy has been directly involved in The Nappy Collective project for the past two years and encouraged the community to become involved.

The Nappy Collective involves the community donating unused disposable nappies to help support Wimmera families. Ms Kealy has collected more than 2000 nappies at her office in the two years. Christian Emergency Food Centre then distributes the nappies throughout the region. Ms Kealy said the level of regional generosity and support for The Nappy Collective project amazed her. “Our region is filled with people who are kind, thoughtful and generous,” she said. “It is heart-warming to know

the next generation will continue to care for the community and support one another when we need it most.” Students from Horsham’s Ss Michael and John’s Primary School also raised money through a fundraiser to buy nappies to donate to the project. The Nappy Collective project has been running since 2013, with collections twice a year, in May and October. Wimmera people can get involved by dropping disposable nappies to Ms Kealy’s Firebrace Street, Horsham, office between May 10 and 24.

Researcher wins recognition

orsham researcher Jason Brand has won a major Grains Research and Development Corporation Award.

Mr Brand, a senior researcher with Agriculture Victoria at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park, won the 2019 GRDC Southern Region Seed of Light Award. Voted on by GRDC Southern Region Panel members, the award acknowledges outstanding outcomes from GRDC grains-research investments. Panel member Kate Wilson presented the award at a GRDC Grains Research Update in Bendigo last week. “When it comes to the extension of new knowledge and advice out of research into pulse crops in Australia’s southern cropping region, Jason is without peer,” she said. “What this man does not know about pulse breeding and agronomy is not worth knowing. “I speak about Jason’s worth not only on behalf of the grains industry in the south and beyond, but also from personal experience. “Over many years I have been privileged to operate as a grower and an adviser in an industry that has benefited enormously from Jason’s dedication, enthusiasm and expertise. “And while in essence he is a researcher – and a very good one at that – it is his particular efforts in communication and extension that this award acknowledges.” As long-standing leader of GRDC’s Southern Pulse Agronomy Program – one of his many roles and responsibilities – Dr Brand’s influence has been profound.

HONOURED: Grains Research and Development Corporation Southern Region Panel member Kate Wilson with award-winning Jason Brand. “I would even suggest that Jason’s work has in some way or another found its way into just about every pulse crop sown, grown and harvested in the southern region over recent decades,” Mrs Wilson said. “A passion of Jason’s, from which we all benefit, is working very creatively to attract young people into grains research as graduates, PhD students and technical staff. “I know Jason puts an enormous effort into mentoring new students in the importance of understanding farming systems and the importance

of working with growers and agronomists to ensure their research is relevant and can be easily accessed.” Dr Brand’s career path in agricultural research began at an early age, having attended Urrbrae Agricultural High School in Adelaide before studying at the University of Adelaide where he completed his PhD in agricultural science in 1999. He began employment as a Horsham-based pulse research agronomist with Agriculture Victoria in 2000 where he has remained, playing a role in promoting pulses and their im-

proved management in farming systems in southeastern Australia. Dr Brand has been responsible for developing management packages for new pulse varieties and has provided advice to Pulse Breeding Australia on traits suited to modern farming systems. “In a nutshell, Jason brings genetics and management together and then extends the outcomes to ensure new traits are better utilised,” Mrs Wilson said.

Toddler pool under repair Repairs at Ararat Fitness Centre have started after extensive investigations into how best to address issues involving the centre’s toddler pool. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was pleased to inform the community the pool would be repaired and reopened as soon as possible. He said after an initial assessment, council engineers commissioned an external report to assess underlying infrastructure and this identified the problem and the repairs needed. “The problem has been tough to solve and took a lot of expertise, and the repairs themselves will be quite tricky,” he said. “We appreciate that it’s been a long and disruptive time for little ones and their parents wanting to use the pool, and we apologise for the delay.” Dr Harrison said repairs to the structure were the only feasible option ‘at this stage’. “These repairs are going to keep the toddler pool going for a few more years, but we know we have to have some really good conversations with the community to make sure the facility can service the region into the future,” he said. Bendigo Aquatics will be in charge of the pool repairs and while there might be noise and dust, the council anticipates the work will not impact on indoor pool classes. Repairs are scheduled to be complete within two weeks. The council is planning for future infrastructure improvements at the centre so it can apply for government funding. It will run consultations in the second half of the year.

Understanding your ‘powers’ R

ecently I wrote about the importance of putting wills in place.

An equally important part of estate planning is putting in place appropriate powers of attorney. Anyone can experience an injury or illness that might mean they become unable to make decisions, either temporarily or permanently. Powers of attorney and an Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker can ensure people you trust make decisions on your behalf. Previously, individuals were able to appoint a Medical Power of Attorney that would appoint a person to make decisions concerning medical treatment once the appointor no longer had decision making capacity. On March 12, 2018, the Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 started, meaning this type of attorney could no longer be created and was replaced by a document known as an Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker. The person you appoint as Medical Treatment Decision Maker will have the power to make all the decisions about your healthcare and medical treatment when you are unable to make these decisions yourself. If you do not have either a Medical Enduring Power of Attorney or Medical Treatment Decision Maker appointed, you need to make an appointment with your solicitor immediately. You can still appoint financial and personal enduring powers of attorney so you can choose who will have the power to make

it’s

THE LAW with Patrick Smith, LL.B. (Hons) B. Int. St., B.Ec., GDLP

decisions about your financial matters – such as paying bills – and personal matters – such as where you live. You can limit the power to cover only specific matters, and you can choose when the powers start. Whoever you appoint as an enduring power of attorney will have the authority to make decisions for you after you are no longer able to oversee their actions or change or cancel their appointment. Accordingly, you should give the decision of who to appoint great thought. The Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 also introduced a new document known as an Advance Care Directive. An Advance Care Directive sets out a person’s binding instructions or preferences and values in relation to the medical treatment of that person in the event that the person does not have decision-making capacity for that medical treatment. As you can see, issues around powers of attorney can be quite complicated and have far-reaching consequences. I urge you to speak to a solicitor in relation to what documents you need to put in place and how they should be structured. • Patrick Smith is a solicitor with O’Brien Lawyers in Horsham.

War on foxes, wild dogs resumes A Victorian fox and wild-dog bounty period has resumed. Agriculture Victoria biosecurity officers started manning designated scalp and skin-collection centres, starting in the state’s northeast, on Monday. Agriculture Victoria leading biosecurity officer Nigel Roberts said the fox and wild-dog bounty had been running since 2011. “In that time, we have collected more than 722,000 fox scalps and 3000 wild-dog skin pieces through the bounty,” he said. “We will be collecting from March until the end of October, consistent with previous years.”

POWER HARROW See us at Wimmera Site A48 - 56

Top Spread AMAZONE Catros & Catros+ Power harrow

Eligible participants can submit entire fox scalps for a $10 reward and entire wild-dog skin pieces for a $120 reward during scheduled collection times. Mr Roberts urged hunters to refresh their knowledge with the terms and conditions of the bounty to ensure the pieces they submitted were acceptable, and to check collection-centre open times. He said there had been changes this year due to public holidays. “It’s important that everyone participating knows the requirements, so they can benefit from the bounty,” he said.

Mr Roberts also reminded hunters the collection of entire wilddog skin pieces for a North West Wild Dog Control Area was by appointment only. He said people could make appointments by calling Agriculture Victoria Customer Service Centre on 136 186. Wimmera fox-collection centres are in Horsham and St Arnaud.

Iron Man Hero-themed Hyundai Kona suits up

yundai Motor Company Australia will import a themed Kona variant, with design elements and equipment nodding to Marvel Comics’ Iron Man franchise.

Suitably named Iron Man Edition, Hyundai will offer just 400 units to Australian customers, priced at $39,990 plus on-road costs. That puts the special edition atop the Kona range, with the full-time lineup priced from $23,500 for the base Go, up to $39,000 for the top-dog Highlander.

The Iron Man Edition uses Hyundai’s flagship 130kW-265Nm 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine mated with a seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission and an all-paw driveline. Distinguishing it from the regular Kona, the themed small SUV features a bespoke matte grey paint with ‘Iron Man red’ touches, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, ‘Iron Man’ emblems on the front guards and projected through the puddle lamps, and a redesigned bonnet with a Marvel logo. The superhero theme continues in

the cabin, with red stitching on the shift lever and leather seats, with ‘STARK Industries’ and Iron Man masks stitched onto the backrests. A special welcome animation appears on the instrument cluster and head-up display, and the 8.0-inch touchscreen display loads an Arc Reactor-themed graphical user interface. Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive JW Lee said the Kona had always featured unique and expressive styling. “The Kona range has always had a strong identity with its expressive

styling and choice of vibrant exterior colours, but the Kona Iron Man Edition takes this a step further with its audacious Iron Man inspired looks and tech equipment,” he said. “With only 400 cars coming to Australia, the Kona Iron Man Edition will be a unique ownership experience, combining the Kona’s style, technology and performance with a slice of superhero fun.” Standard kit includes rear park assist, tyre pressure monitoring, LED head-lights with dusk sensing and static bending, a power driver’s seat, a

smart key with Iron Man mask detail, climate control with automatic defog, sat-nav, DAB+ radio, Apply CarPlayAndroid Auto connectivity, a Krell eight-speaker audio system, roof rails and a 4.2-inch TFT cluster. Safety equipment includes radar and camera-based autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot warning, driver attention warning, automatic high beams, lane-keep assist and rear cross-traffic alert. – Spencer Leech

Holden targets SUV, ute sales

olden has forecast at least nine percent growth in its combined SUV and ute sales this year, forecasting 70 percent of its overall sales volume to come from the two major categories.

The lion brand is attempting to turn around its fortunes after its sales slumped 33 percent last year in the wake of its exit from Australian car manufacturing in October 2017. It launched a fresh initiative last week in the form of a brand marketing campaign dubbed ‘This is how we SUV’. In announcing the latest campaign, the company said one of its key focus areas for 2019 was to grow its share in SUV and light-commercial vehicle segments. It said these vehicles would, combined, comprise more than two thirds, or a targeted 70 percent of all sales achieved this year – 35 per cent each, with passenger cars making up the rest. Placing a figure to this growth position is difficult when Holden’s sales and market share do not appear to have hit rock bottom yet. January sales were down 27.1 percent compared to the same month last year, which back then was down more than 20 percent compared to January 2016. But assuming the latest campaign and other actions hit their targets, enabling the company to at least stop the flow of negative annual returns and post a similar figure to last year’s 60,751-unit total, this would see an increase of almost 6000 sales across both its SUV range and for the Colorado ute. Last year, Holden’s SUV lines – Trax, Trailblazer, the run-out Captiva, its Equinox replacement and the all-new Acadia – accounted for 30.9 percent of its sales. The Colorado pick-up made up 30.1 percent, for a combined 61.0 percent of the brand’s overall sales. This percentage mix was lineball with Toyota’s combined SUV-HiLux ute sales, but with all light-commercial vehicles factored in, the marketleading brand’s SUV-LCV mix was 70.9 percent, at 38.0 and 32.9 percent respectively.

PUSH UP: Holden is hoping the new Acadia will help see SUVs account for at least 35 percent of the brand’s total sales this year, up from about 30 percent in 2018. Toyota’s ratio is the most even spread across the major categories among the leading brands in Australia but it, too, will look to strengthen its SUV position this year with key new models such as the all-new RAV4 launching soon.

New heights

Elsewhere, the ultra-competitive nature of the current market, combined with shifting consumer sentiment away from traditional passenger cars, has forced many of the high-volume car companies to redirect their sales and marketing resources, and cut back their respective model range, to reflect the trends while still attempting to push overall sales up to new heights. The SUV-LCV sales mix among the top 10 brands in Australia last year clearly illustrates this, and the new environment in which Holden now finds itself as a middle-tier player rather than one of the top two or three. Ford, which pulled out from local manufacturing a year earlier than Holden, had 81.6 percent of its sales from either SUVs, at a notably low 16.6 percent, or LCVs, 64.9 percent,

indicating just how much the Blue Oval brand now relies on its Ranger pick-up. The Ranger alone accounted for 61 percent of total sales last year – the same mark as GMH’s entire combined SUV-LCV percentage. Mitsubishi, too, as a former Australian manufacturer – albeit one that closed its factory doors in 2008 – now points with satisfaction at its successful transformation to a brand well known for not only its Triton ute, but various popular SUVs, posting alltime record sales last year and predicting solid growth ahead. The triple-diamond brand’s SUVs accounted for 61.2 percent of its sales last year, and the Triton 29.3 percent, for a 90.5 percent combined share. Among the top 10 brands, this was only surpassed by Nissan, which has not had the same success in outright sales terms as alliance partner Mitsubishi and others, and last year had 99.4 percent of its volume taken up by its all-important SUV lines – heavily relied upon for 70.8 percent of its sales – and the Navara ute making up most of the rest with 28.5 percent.

Nissan now only has the niche 370Z and GT-R sportscars as bona fide passenger cars in its stable, but still managed to turn its sales around last year to a positive position – up 2.0 percent – after a 15.3 percent downturn in 2017. As much as Holden might now accept that it is no longer a leader but more of a ‘challenger brand’, the company will still be looking to Mazda as a full-line role model with an incredibly popular – and ever-expanding – SUV range and a ute that adds important, but not make-or-break, incremental volume. Last year, Mazda’s combined SUVLCV sales were at 58.7 percent, with SUVs 42.8 percent and the BT-50 ute at 11.8 percent. This mix points to Mazda’s solid all-round performance across virtually every segment in which it competes, hence its position as the number-two brand in the marketplace. Hyundai and Kia are also working overtime on increasing their SUV sales via new models while hanging on for a long-hoped-for pick-up. Hyundai has the iLoad van con-

tributing to its bottom line, with its SUV-LCV mix at 41.6-4.6 percent last year for a 46.2 percent combined total, while Kia, which no longer has LCVs in its range, is expecting a major turnaround as a new small SUV approaches and enables it to improve on last year’s SUV return of 31.3 percent. Honda, which also does without LCVs, had 54.8 percent of its sales going to SUVs last year, while Volkswagen, as the other key player among the top 10 brands, has acknowledged that it, too, needs to improve its SUV standing, which was at just 25.1 percent of its total sales last year. The Amarok ute accounted for 16.4 percent of VW’s overall volume last year, while its van range pushed its full LCV total up to 24.5 percent, so with SUVs added the combined figure came in at 49.6 percent – not enough on either front, as evidenced by a variety of product actions already introduced this year. Just outside the top 10 last year, Subaru’s SUV range accounted for 71.5 percent of its total volume. – Terry Martin

Volkswagen grows SUV range

Group product marketing manager Jeff Shafer stressed the importance of the two new models, considering that small SUVs were the fourth most popular type of vehicle last year, with their sales up a market-leading 18.4 percent over 2017. “They’re going to be two big pillars to growth for the Volkswagen brand in Australia,” he said. “The small-SUV segment has been one of the stronger-growing segments over the past two, three years.” Mr Shafer said the T-Cross would be the ‘mainstream seller’, with its ‘pretty sharp’ pricing expected to kick off ‘right in the heart of the small-SUV market’, at less than $30,000. “What we’re saying is that it will start with a two – that doesn’t necessarily mean $29,990,” he said. “But it’s never been our target to be the cheapest in any segment. We want to offer the best product and the best value.” Conversely, Mr Shafer said the TRoc was the more premium of the two, with this positioning reflected

cently announced alliance with Ford Motor Company ends up covering such product. Mr Shafer said he would give such a model its due diligence, in terms of analysing whether or not there’s a segment there. “If there was an opportunity, we’d have a look at it but it would have to fit within our range,” he said. More variants of the Tiguan will be introduced this year, including the entry-level 110TSI that will return to sale at the end of the third quarter. While the Mexican-sourced Tiguan Allspace only entered showrooms six months ago, it was subject to unannounced price adjustments in January after the Trans-Pacific Partnership’s free-trade agreement kicked in on December 30, 2018. “That’s been a product we’ve been really happy with,” Mr Shafer said. “It’s building momentum month by month. It takes a little bit of time for people to get their heads around what it means and what it is.” As a result, the Tiguan Allspace decreased in cost between $840 and $1340, meaning it now attracts a $1500 premium over its five-seat counterpart, as opposed to the $3000 to $4000 price difference it launched with. – Justin Hilliard

CROSSROADS: The T-Cross, pictured, will become Volkswagen Group Australia’s entrylevel SUV when it goes on sale alongside the similarly sized T-Roc early next year.

by its targeted starting price of sub$40,000. “T-Roc, I think will be a bit more exclusive than T-Cross, so not as high of a volume,” he said. While unprecedented overseas demand led to a delayed Australian launch for the T-Roc, Mr Shafer was unsure if the T-Cross would be subjected to the same supply constraints when it launches in Europe in April. “Until it goes on sale it’s hard to judge capacity versus demand, but I think it’ll certainly be a volume-seller within our range,” he said.

think we can be the benchmark small SUV, building off those Volkswagen characteristics,” Mr Shafer said. The third-generation Touareg large SUV will arrive before the T-Cross and T-Roc when its 190TDI Launch Edition variant heads Down Under in May this year, with full-time 170TDI and 210TDI variants expected before 2020. While the Touareg is capable offroad, a more specialised model based on Ford’s next-generation Everest seven-seater could join VGA’s SUV line-up if Volkswagen Group’s re-

“I’m not going to speculate on exactly what the number’s going to be, but certainly in the hierarchy of products, this will be lower than Tiguan in the short term.” In 2018, the Tiguan mid-size SUV outsold the Tiguan Allspace sevenseater and Touareg large SUV in VGA’s SUV range. Given the T-Cross and T-Roc will be late to market, VGA has to work on educating new-vehicle buyers about its broader SUV range. “Golf’s always been known as a benchmark in its segment, and we

During a test in Melbourne in 1897, Irish-born Australian inventor Louis Brennan successfully guided what type of revolutionary and ultimately devastating weapon directly onto a target, amazing all in attendance and earning him thousands of dollars? 3. There are three ways to modulate radio waves to carry an electric sound signal and we usually refer to them with acronyms AM, FM and DAB. But what do these acronyms stand for?

4. Where in the human body do you find vitreous humour and sclera? 5. Versions in the mid to late 1600s were called the minuet and gavotte. Hundreds of years later it had evolved to various other forms, such as the maxixe, and then again into many other more common and well-known versions. It is still enjoyed today and is the subject of enjoyment, entertainment and competition. What is it? 6. What type of art movement were Americans Warhol, Lichtenstein and Britons Blake and Jones generally renowned? A. Modernism. B. Conceptualism. C. Pop Art. D. Minimalism. E. Impressionism.

Netball Countdown

Minyip-Murtoa Burras

Rising to challenge BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

he paths of Minyip-Murtoa’s A Grade netballers and senior footballers have been remarkably similar for the past three years.

Both lost grand finals in 2016 and 2017 before falling short of a grand final appearance last year. Both are desperate to return to premiership contention and claim an elusive flag. The Burras’ A Grade netballers believe 2019 could be the year they achieve that goal. First-time coach Billie Bibby will helm the side after Alice Langley – who had been slated to coach – moved away with work commitments. Bibby said taking over as coach so soon before the start of the season had been challenging, but she could see the team beginning to come together. “We’re starting to get more numbers at training,” she said. “It’s hard because we get girls from Horsham, the Minyip-Murtoa area and Warracknabeal. “It’s quite difficult because people in the other towns have things like basketball and tennis training on different nights, so we haven’t had many numbers.

“We’ve changed training to Thursday now and our numbers have definitely increased. “It has been really good to see some old as well as some new faces.” Among the new faces are Alex Lang and Ellie McGrath. Lang, a defender with excellent anticipation and timing, comes to the Burras from Edenhope-Apsley. Lang won the Saints’ A Grade best and fairest and was named the Horsham District Football Netball League’s best under-21 player last season. Bibby said the team was close to signing another two recruits. The team’s signings will help cover the departures of some of last season’s key players. A big loss for the Burras will be experienced goal keeper Paula Wiedermann. Stef Cooper will also depart, while the loss of several players in B and C grades will also test the Burras’ depth. While the team’s defence is in flux, its attack appears as potent as ever. Star goal shooter Kirby Knight – who finished as the second-highest goal scorer in A Grade last season – will return, with players such as Maddison Morgan and Georgia McLennan rotating through goal attack. Bibby said she was confident her

team would be in the premiership mix again this season. “I think we’re still in a strong position,” she said. “We have just been really unfortunate for the past few years. “Every year we’ve identified what’s gone wrong and been able to grow on the back of that. “It’s about working on the foundations we already have and working on a few little things to hopefully get us the whole way. “Having played in losing grand finals and then last year, it’s really tough sometimes to bounce back from, but we all love the club and we want to see the club do really well. “We have the girls to give ourselves a chance again.”

Footy Countdown

Minyip-Murtoa Burras

Fresh faces lead Burras BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

fter twice standing on the cusp of a first premiership since the late 1990s, Minyip-Murtoa’s football side took a step back last season.

The Burras were an agonising two points short of hoisting the premiership cup against Horsham Saints in the 2016 grand final, and a year later fell to Horsham on the same stage. Some observers thought the pain of consecutive grand final defeats would galvanise the Burras in 2018 and spur them on to cross the final hurdle, but instead they crashed to a 7-9 record and missed finals altogether. The disappointing result is something new coach John Delahunty attributes to a lack of cohesion from last season’s senior players. “I think the buy-in of the players wasn’t quite there, and the standard of the competition lifted again,” he said. “We played some great games but didn’t get over the line, and that was the first time we’d missed finals in seven or eight years. “It was a real shame, but I’m starting to feel optimistic with the way we’ve been training during the past few weeks. “People are buying in and enjoying themselves, and that’s all I can ask for from them. “If we’ve got the talent and the right game plan, then that will take us as far as

we can go.” Just how far can the Burras go? Delahunty said his side was capable of playing for a premiership again in 2019. “I do think we can contend for a flag,” he said. “Last year was a bit of a lull. This year we’ve got fresh faces, a fresh coach and a few players have moved on, so we’re starting afresh and everyone is really appreciating that.” Among the fresh faces is former local Tim Mackenzie, who returns as Delahunty’s assistant coach after winning Glenelg’s best and fairest in the SANFL reserves last season. In another recruiting coup the Burras have signed star brothers Tim and Ben McIntyre. Both have won the KowreeNaracoorte-Tatiara Football League’s Virgo Medal as league best and fairest – Ben as a member of Penola in 2014 and Tim with Mundulla last year. Other recruits include Jack Boschen from Lucindale in KNTFL and Vincent White from Learmonth in Central Highlands league. While the Burras have recruited strongly, they have also lost plenty of firepower. Last season’s coach Damian Cameron has departed for Donald in North Central league, taking star midfielder Pat Purcell and ruckman Matt Coleman along with him. Minyip-Murtoa will also lose the ser-

vices of Callum Hobbs, Kieran Delahunty and Warwick Stone. Purcell, Cameron and Delahunty finished first, second and third respectively in last season’s best and fairest count. John Delahunty said while the loss of several key players had left large holes in the side, the Burras were in a good position to cover them. “Matt was our ruckman last year, but we’ve got Fergus Schier who has been rucking for us in the reserves and is a great tap ruckman who is a student of the game,” he said. “He takes everything in and is willing to learn.” Delahunty said it was emerging players like Schier, as well as the Burras’ recruits, that would help the team challenge for a finals berth again this season. “We’ve picked up a few and there’s probably three or four others who will hopefully put pen to paper soon,” he said. “We’ve got quite a few players looking extremely good on the track. “Fergus is one, Nick Kelson has hardly missed a training session, Corey Morgan and Logan Petering have been going really well and I think will play a lot of senior football this year. “The message that I’m trying to send this year is that it’s all about team football and playing for the team and enjoying each other’s company. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together.”

Swifts Baggies

New direction BY LOTTE REITER

wifts will take a holistic approach to the 2019 Horsham District netball season to consolidate their position as rising competitors.

The Stawell outfit marginally missed out on a top three position last year and is confident it can surpass the effort this season. Last year’s A Grade side finished with 10 wins and only six losses, but lost its footing with a 42-45 defeat in qualifying finals. Regardless of the last-minute disappointment, club leaders believe the effort represented marked success, with netball director Naomi Hoffmann describing this year’s pre-season a positive step in the same direction. Mrs Hoffmann said she was happy with progress this pre-season, more than hinting that a good year was fast approaching. “It’s been really good. Training is going well,” she said. She said Swifts’ focus would remain the same as previous years, but the club would be pushing an overall approach, from reserves right down to juniors. “We’re building the whole club,” she said. Returning A Grade playing coach Courtney Morrow added that despite the team’s high level of success last season, players felt little pressure. She said she was proud of last year’s results and was keen for her team to continue stepping up in standard. “If we can improve it would be great,” she said. Morrow also emphasised Swifts had taken great strides in past years in training and game

play and believed it spoke volumes about the direction the club was heading. “We went from having no A Grade team a couple of years ago to being in the top four last season,” she said. “We’re working as an A-B squad. It’s not just about an A team and a B team, it’s about helping each other as a club.” Both Hoffmann and Morrow also spoke of the changes to this season’s team compositions. “We have new game plays and new players,” Hoffman said. A re-shuffle of Swifts’ A-B squad includes player Laura Atkinson, an introduction of Sarah Morris from Stawell Warriors, as well as the addition of Darcy Crawford, Horsham District 2018 17-and-under best and fairest. “It’s been really good so far. We have new girls. Lots of numbers have turned up,” Morrow said.

Swifts Baggies

Swifts unpredictable and goals are far from complicated. He said the primary goal for his team was to win as many early games as possible and to develop a higher level of consistency in form. “I like to think we can get back to competing against the top three,” he said. “We played some decent footy during last year and showed glimpses of what we could do. “But consistency is the key and it will be the teams that can lock down early wins that will gain the advantage. “That’s something we’re hoping to achieve. Getting early wins will be important for us.” Carey, who has been sole coach for the past three years, said leading in a joint role with Navarre star Parkin was exciting. “Things are tacking along nicely. Obviously the addition of Daniel as co-coach is huge for the club and the boys overall,” he said. “The move brings in new ideas and a different way of doing things and rejuvenates the playing group. “It hasn’t taken long to adjust and seems to be already paying dividends.” Carey said Swifts had, similar to most clubs, experienced players leaving and joining the club.

BY DEAN LAWSON

any football leaders across Horsham District league often have an uneasy pre-season feeling about Swifts club.

There always seems to be a sense of uncertainty about the southeast force, which goes about its preparations in Stawell in relative isolation from the rest of the competition. ‘What have they been doing? What’s the word from North Park? Will they be up for it or will they fall away this year?’ – all are familiar questions surrounding the Baggies. It’s a curious phenomenon and isn’t as strong as other clubs and perhaps stems from Swifts in the past, when loaded with Stawell Gold Mine employees, often had to swing a variety of selection changes to deal with availability issues. Then again, it might also be something completely different. Whatever the case, Swifts always seems to have opposition teams looking over their shoulders at this time of year and little has changed in the lead-up to the 2019 season. For Scott Carey, this year sharing senior coaching responsibilities with Daniel Parkin, the build-up

Shade Sails –

“We obviously target a few players to add to what we needed,” he said. “We managed to secure Todd Matthews from Stawell early and young Ben Leong has also slotted in well. “Wimmera League under-17 best and fairest Jacob Salmi is back where he started as a junior to play open-age football and wants to play with his brother Zach. He’s a huge inclusion.” Carey said he also looked forward to the evolution of rising young talent Jackson Healy. “He’s showing maturity straight out of the gate and I feel he will be able to contribute strongly to the seniors this season,” he said. Offsetting recruits this year are significant departures including former assistant coach and goal-kicking forward Andrew Cameron who has signed with Great Western. Swifts are also unsure about the availability time-frame involving dual club best and fairest Ben Taylor, who will have commitments with NT Thunder in Darwin football for part of the season. “We hope to get Ben down for a few games and if things pan out we might have him towards the end of the year. He’s a bit of a loss

but hopefully we can replace him,” Carey said. He said regardless of the lineup, the expectation was that Swifts would play a free-flowing defensively driven brand of football. “The hope is that if someone came to a game and had never seen us play, they would go away thinking that our blokes are playing for each other – doing what it takes to help their team-mates,” he said. Swifts president Steve Hoffmann said the club would continue to place a strong emphasis on junior development. “It’s been something we’ve been working on for four to five years. It’s something the club is going to build on,” he said. “The aim is always to improve on the previous year and while last year wasn’t an improvement based on results, hopefully our young team can gain a lot of experience out of that.” Mr Hoffmann confirmed a continuation of strong financial support from sponsors led by CKS Engineering, which has backed the club for more than a decade. Swifts will have a practice match against Navarre at North Park in Stawell on March 24.

Racing stage set T

BY TONY LOGAN

he stage is set for the 29th edition of the Noel Smith Memorial Horsham Invitation Drivers Championship.

For the first time, the event involves Horsham Harness Racing Club hosting the finale of Victoria’s Team Teal fundraising campaign. From February 1 to March 11, all Horsham’s female drivers have been wearing or will don teal pants to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. For every winner the girls notch up, Harness Racing Victoria and the TAB are donating $200 to the Women’s Cancer Foundation. Now in its fifth year, Team Teal has grown from a Victorianonly campaign to every Australian state and now includes New Zealand. Duncan McPherson is the co-founder of harness racing’s campaign to raise money and awareness of ovarian cancer, known as Team Teal. His wife Lyn was diagnosed with the disease in 2008 and despite multiple treatments and surgeries, Lyn succumbed to the cancer just 15 months later, aged 52.

Last year women drivers booted home 315 winners across the nation and the national campaign raised nearly $200,000. With the growing support from harness racing clubs, participants and fans, the fundraising goal for 2019 has been set at $250,000. The Victorian finale on Monday afternoon includes a Team Teal-Horsham Ladies Day Out, in the track-view function room at West Side Horsham, from 1pm to 4pm. Tickets are $25 a person and include a welcome drink, share platters, entertainment, competitions, guest speaker and raffles, with all proceeds to the Women’s Cancer Foundation. People can gain more information by calling 0417 390 526. Admission to the eight-event race meeting is free, with the opportunity to make a gold coin donation to the Team Teal cause.

Noel Smith Memorial

On the racing front, Monday afternoon’s 29th Noel Smith Memorial Horsham Invitation Drivers Championship will be across four specified races, with the Victorian line-up of Kerryn Manning, Chris Alford, Greg Sugars, Jason Lee and Zac Phillips set

to take on the interstate band of Gary Hall Jnr, Western Australia; Robbie Morris, NSW; Todd Rattray, Tasmania; Ken Rogers, South Australia; and Adam Sanderson, Queensland. Alford, 2011 and 2017, Manning, 2005, and Sugars, 2015, are past winners and regular competitors in the championship while Lee and Phillips will make their debuts along with Rogers and Sanderson. On a perfect day for Team Teal, Kerryn Manning would drive all four winners, but the boys are certain to have different ideas. Final fields will be available from Thursday evening at www. harness.org.au with the first event scheduled for 1.30pm. Another feature of the Labour Day holiday meeting will be the heat and final of the Albenz Park Pony Trot, sponsored by Kerryn Manning and Grant Campbell. It’s great to see our future industry participants decked out in their gear and presenting their ponies so proudly.

Teams prepared for seaside tournament

Stepping up

From a Volleyball Horsham perspective, all eyes will be on the Phantoms’ division-three men’s team, with Lloyd Baker making his debut in the purple and black along with Tyler Puls, who will join the team after cricket on Saturday. “It’s so exciting to see Lloyd and Tyler having a go with Phantoms because they have been improving out of sight over the course of the past 12 months,” Popple said. On the women’s side there is also plenty of excitement ahead of the weekend, with Tamikah Dockrill stepping up into the women’s premier team for the first time.

She will join Kara Johnson in the team, which will face stiff opposition from Yarra and Monash, while it will fancy its chances against Southern Cross Cobras and South Australian teams Austral and South Adelaide. Laelah Robertson, Cleo Baker, Rebecca Allan, Emily Hannan and Delaney Wills will be key members in the division one team, while Jade Saligari and Kimberley Crabtree will step up into the Phantoms division-two team. “It all points to a big weekend of volleyball for our members, one that should set them up nicely for a huge tilt at state league in 2019,” Popple said. “Apart from that, Warrnambool is always a great weekend to catch up with friends and enjoy being a part of the biggest country volleyball event on the calendar.” Anyone interested in playing volleyball in Horsham in the upcoming season should contact info@ volleyballhorsham.com.au.

Bowlers to contest cup Mighty finish in tennis BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

orsham will host more than 100 of country Victoria’s best tenpin bowlers at the weekend for the Victorian Country Cup.

The cup is one of the biggest events on Victoria’s tenpin calendar, with competitors from associations in Horsham, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Wodonga, Latrobe Valley, Colac, Sunraysia and Warrnambool competing. Each city will field men’s and women’s teams, with up to seven players in each team. Horsham Lanes and Games owner Wayne Watkins said the cup would be one of the biggest tenpin events Horsham had ever hosted. “The different cities take turns hosting it,” he said. “In the early days we’ve had it but I don’t think it was quite as big then as it is now. “This is probably one of the biggest events we’ve ever hosted.” Horsham Lanes and Games will be closed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday while the tournament is in progress. Bowling will commence at 7.30am each morning, concluding at midnight on Saturday and Sunday and about 4.30pm on Monday. Mr Watkins said days needed to be long to accommodate the sheer number of teams and games to get through.

ROLLING: Horsham Lanes and Games owner Wayne Watkins is ready to host the 2019 tenpin bowling Victorian Country Cup during the Labour Day long weekend. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Each team plays 18 games in three days,” he said. “There are five players competing head-to-head in each game, with two subs. “It’s a pretty prestigious event and everyone wants to play.” Mr Watkins said the cup would bring even more excitement to what is already shaping up as an action-packed long weekend, with the Horsham Fishing Competition also drawing plenty of visitors to the city.

He said the influx of competitors at both events would give a boost to Horsham’s economy. “If all teams are full there will be 140 bowlers,” he said. “There are not just the bowlers, but managers and families as well. “It should be a great weekend and hopefully it all goes well.” Mr Watkins said Horsham would be competitive in the men’s and women’s divisions, but said the men’s team stood a better chance of winning the cup.

The penultimate round of Stawell Tennis Club’s Friday night competition has set the stage for a thrilling end to the season. Competition featured some remarkable contests on the night, including Stawell Goldmine and Delahunty Plumbing battling out a draw, bottom-placed Frewstal providing an astonishing upset, and a routine David O. Jones Mitre 10 victory catapulting it to the top of the pile. After 18 sets and 148 games, Stawell Goldmine and Delahunty Plumbing were unable to be separated, with both teams locked on nine sets 74 games apiece. Both sides went neck and neck all night, with perennial club champion Jade Cross leading the charge for Stawell Goldmine, which was searching desperately for a victory to position themselves in the coveted top two with one round remaining. However, Lewis Reading had different plans for Delahunty Plumbing, marching through his three sets before the match came down to a thrilling singles contest between Will McDermott and Theo Browne. On this night, Will McDermott would reign triumphant in a match of ebbs and flows, with the 6-4 win enough to force a draw. Next week is now a must win match for both teams if they want to figure in the grand final. One of district’s biggest tennis upsets took place on Friday, with bot-

tom-placed Frewstal defeating previously top-placed Stawell Toyota. It was scenes of jubilation, but also relief as Frewstal notched up its first win for the season on the back of a Blair Hart masterclass, who dropped just three games for the evening against his hapless opponent. Angie Fudge was also in devastating form on her way to three victories. William Hackwill again played well for Stawell Toyota, which has lost consecutive matches and now finds itself clinging on to second spot. The Stawell Toyota brains trust will be searching for answers to the side’s misfortune this week, hoping for a solution to halt their slide down the ladder. The final match of the evening was a comfortable victory for Mitre 10 over Stawell Joinery, with the latter now struggling to stay in touch with the top two. Jade Ralph and Aylish O’Donohue played outstanding tennis to give their team an unassailable lead, with multiple Mitre 10 players providing the finishing touches. Leon Monaghan continued his tremendous season and was ably supported by Ben Hodgetts playing his first season at the club. Mitre 10 now finds itself in the enviable position of top spot with one round remaining. – Joel Freeland

Combines meet in Grampians BY ONE SHORT

wifts-Great Western will play Buangor-Tatyoon for Grampians Cricket Association’s A Grade McDonald Shield during the Labour Day long weekend.

Swifts-Great Western made the grand final at Stawell’s Central Park after beating Pomonal in a semi-final last week, while Buangor-Tatyoon won its spot by toppling ladder-leader Youth Club in an upset in the other qualifier. Youth Club paid the penalty of not batting out its over against BuangorTatyoon, crashing for 136 in the 54th over at Central Park at the weekend. In an innings that featured five ducks, Youth Club captain Nic Baird was the stand out batsman with 60 runs, with other major contributions coming from Ethan Marrow, 28, and Jarrod Illig, 29. At one stage the Clubbers were 1-80, which meant being dismissed for 136 was a disappointing effort. Jack Fraser led Buangor-Tatyoon’s bowling effort, capturing 4-15. At stumps on Saturday evening Buangor-Tatyoon was 1-59 in reply with Jacob Bates unbeaten on 38. Resumption of play on Sunday led to Buangor-Tatyoon going on to make 155 and establishing a first-innings lead of 19 with Bates top-scoring with 69. Youth Club, in a desperate attempt to salvage the game, returned to the

crease to produce a quick-fire 3-89 and declared with a 70-run lead. This left the Clubbers only 14 overs to bowl Buangor-Tatyoon out, but it didn’t happen, with Buangor-Tatyoon finishing at 0-59, Bates again top-scoring with 35 not out. At Ararat’s Alexandra Oval, SwiftsGreat Western won the toss and batted, reaching 5-226 after the compulsory 80 overs. At one stage the Combine was reeling at 5-64 and Pomonal would have fancied its chances of dismissing its opponent for around the 100-run mark. But a 162-run unbroken sixth-wicket partnership between finals specialist Travis Nicholson, 75, and Matt Heffer, 81, upset Pomonal plans. Left-arm bowler Lachy Green was the only multiple wicket taker for the Tigers with two. Pomonal’s innings started with promise with a 109-run opening stand between Clinton Mackley and Luke Jordan, both with 55. But after the first wicket fell, further wickets fell at regular intervals, and the Tigers were dismissed for 175. Combine opening bowlers Lachie Patching, 5-40, and Heffer, 3-32, took most of the wickets. This weekend’s grand final will be over the three days of the long weekend, with the hours of play 11am to 1pm, 1.40pm to 3.40pm and 4pm to

However, since then Buangor-Tatyoon has found batting form, based on Jacob Bates opening the innings.

Buangor-Tatyoon and 5-226 against Pomonal. It has also taken 34 wickets in the same period. The newly formed Buangor-Tatyoon has reached its first final despite only making the finals by one point. This means the team won’t lack confidence and that bowlers Michael Harricks and Lachy Oddie can keep the Combine to an obtainable score.

Relief for basketballers A new air-conditioning system installed in Ararat Fitness Centre’s basketball courts is set to make playing much more pleasant. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison congratulated Ararat Basketball Association, which initiated and contributed $17,694 to the cost of the $37,694 project. Ararat Community Enterprises contributed $20,000. Ararat Basketball Association president Donna Dunmore said games had to be cancelled in the past when temperatures rose above 40 degrees. “Having air-conditioning will mean players and spectators will be much more comfortable and hopefully we won’t have to cancel games anymore,” she said.

Big weekend for Veteran golfers set for Nhill Horsham cricket J

BY DEAN LAWSON

ust what will it take for Horsham Saints to upset Homers in a Horsham Cricket Association one-day final on Sunday?

The Saints seem to get close but not close enough to roll the competition flag favourites and must produce something out of the ordinary this weekend. There seems little question the Saints are more than capable with the bat. But are they good enough to bowl their way to victory for the Cornell-Schwedes title. Form suggests perhaps not, but cricket has a wonderful way of thumbing its nose at predictions and the reality is that from 4pm on Sunday the contest will be up for grabs. The one-day encounter will come after teams play in the first day of the final homeand-away round of the year. On Saturday, Homers will give themselves a test run when they take on Rupanyup-Minyip at Horsham’s Sunnyside Oval. Not that they need a tester, especially with the bat after they put Laharum to the sword last week by batting all day to make 5-426 in response to 61. The knock featured two centuries, with Jarred Combe making 139 and Eddie Landwehr reaching three figures with 102.

Wednesday, March 6, 2019

Combe’s knock included 17 fours and a six and Landwehr’s unbeaten century 13 fours. Simon Hopper also made 72 not out. The Pigeons will want to maintain momentum against Rupanyup-Minyip, which came off second-best to Jung Tigers last week. The Tigers made 203 at Horsham City Oval in response to 113, Tyler Puls top-scoring with 75, before asking the Blue Panthers to bat again and having them 4-68 at stumps. Rupanyup-Minyip batsmen must place a high value on their wickets on Saturday and attack the stumps with the ball to be any chance against the fancied Pigeons. Horsham Saints will get their grand-final practice in with a clash against Laharum. The Saints had to work hard to defend 273 against West Wimmera last week, the Warriors clipping 9-215 and keeping them in the field. Laharum also won’t want to be caught out in the field for extended overs again and should bounce back hard at Dudley Cornell Park. Third-placed Jung Tigers, which has been tracking well towards the finals and shapes as a smoky, meets a West Wimmera side that would have gained confidence after their last hit. The Warriors will again be up for fight to farewell the season with a win.

Wimmera veteran golfers will set sights on their next competition at Nhill on April 8 after playing at Warracknabeal. A Warracknabeal stableford attracted 68 players who competed on a course where a new water-

ing system is paying dividends. Graham Healy won A Grade with 35 points from Rob Porter who was runner-up with 34 on countback. Graeme Moncrieff was B Grade winner with 38 on count-

back from Keith Pearce and C Grade went to Ivan Reinheimer, 38, from Ralph Chequer, runner-up on countback with 37. Nearest the pins: Fifth, Les Errington; seventh, Peter Kelly; 13th, Murray Moyle.

Kalkee into final BY COLIN MacGILLIVRAY

alkee has booked a Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant preliminary final clash with Horsham Lawn after a classic semi-final win against Drung South at the weekend.

The Kees and Drungsters were neck and neck throughout their match, which was played at night to mitigate the weekend’s high temperatures. From the outset it was clear the result would go down to the wire. In the opening doubles rubbers Kalkee men’s pair Jeff Friberg and Grant Schultz edged out Drung South’s Dylan Emmerson and Ben Brooksby in an 8-7 tiebreak, only for Drung South women Kate-Lyn Perkin and Janelle Knight to even the ledger with an 8-7 win of their own against Anna Exell and Paula Weidermann. The Kees had a 3-1 sets advantage entering the singles section, but Emmerson’s 8-6 win against Friberg, coupled with victories to Perkin and Georgia McLennan leveled the sides at four sets and 50 games apiece. Inevitably, the final doubles rubber still on court would decide the outcome of the match. Drung South had a one set lead, but game scores were tied, meaning the Kees would win on games if they triumphed by any margin. Friberg and partner David Pipkorn were down a break late in the set, but Friberg said the pair kept faith as the night wore on. “It was tight all night,” he said. “We had a couple of sets at the start that didn’t go the way they normally would, which made for a pretty exciting scoreline. “Whoever won the last set on court was going to

win the day – it didn’t matter what the scoreline was. We never really had it in hand at any point – we were actually down a break in the latter half of the set.” Friberg and Pipkorn claimed the rubber in another 8-7 tiebreak, handing the Kees victory by the smallest possible margin – one game. The final score was Kalkee 7-88 to Drung South 7-87. The Kees will enjoy a week off before a preliminary final showdown against Horsham Lawn, which was no match for St Michaels at the weekend. The Saints reeled off the first four doubles rubbers and were never seriously challenged, winning 10-95 to 4-69. St Michaels number two woman Kassie Peachey was in fine form, winning all three of her rubbers including an 8-2 singles set against Luisa Boddi. The Saints have earned themselves a two-week break and another grand final berth as they seek their fourth pennant title in a row. Lawn will prepare to face Kalkee, a side it beat twice early in the season but lost to in round 11. Friberg said the Kees expected a tough match and could not read too much into the most recent clash between the sides. “We did pretty well last time, but I don’t think we played them with their strongest side in,” he said. “They were missing both the Woods and Jae McGrath wasn’t in. “Everyone has a week off with the long weekend, so we can sit back and relax and think about what’s coming next. We’ll just go out on court and see what happens.”

He said the club aimed to raise between $3000 and $5000 for Livin. “This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and support those in need,” he said. The club will present a cheque for the total amount raised to Livin on Saturday. Entry donations will also support the charity.

Saints appeal for new players Horsham Saints Football Netball Club is appealing for girls between the ages of 13 and 18 to join its side for the upcoming Deakin University Female Football League season. The club has entered a team in the league since its inception in 2017, winning the inaugural premiership against Hamilton that year. Club president Nathan Martin said women’s football was enjoying ‘unprecedented growth’ and encouraged any girl wanting to play at a high level of competition to try out for the team. “This is a key step in the female player pathway from Auskick to youth girls to senior football, ultimately providing a feeder for our best talent to the national league,” he said. “Horsham Saints have had girls play with the Greater Western Victoria Rebels and this year we had Rene Caris drafted to Geelong in the AFLW. In particular we are appealing to Horsham District Football Netball League clubs and other Wimmera Football League clubs that don’t yet have a girls football team.” Garry Hallam will coach the team this season, with Mark Hallam serving as assistant coach. Emilie-Rae Woodhead will be team manager. Wednesday, March 6, 2019

Mr Martin said the leadership team would help make this season a fun, social experience for anyone who joined. “Garry has played and coached a lot of footy. He was a member of Horsham Saints’ 2015 premiership team,” he said. “Mark has been involved in football all his life and most recently has taken up umpiring, which is important as a lot of the girls need to learn the basics of the game including the rules of AFL. “Garry and Mark’s focus will be fun, fitness and learning the basic skills of the game. “It is an opportunity for girls to build new friendships.” The club will host a come and try day and free barbecue, where players and parents can meet the coaches on Sunday, March 17 at Coughlin Park at 1pm. Training will start on Monday, March 25, with the season starting on Sunday, April 28. People can call Garry Hallam on 0447 806 415, Mark Hallam on 0428 139 043 or email Emilie-Rae Woodhead at emilie.rae163@yahoo. com.au for more information.
