Road danger continues P

BY DEAN LAWSON

olice have warned a significant danger period for Wimmera roads will continue throughout school holidays and stressed a need for motorists to be vigilant.

Wimmera police Superintendent Ian Milner said road-trauma incidents had been ‘thankfully’ relatively low during a huge Easter weekend but was quick to add that an elevated level of risk remained.

He confirmed a higher-than-usual police presence would continue on regional Wimmera roads for at least the

next fortnight. “The addition of school holidays on the end of the Easter break means that roads are going to remain busy and the same elevated level of dangers that accompanied travelling during the weekend remain,” he said.

“We will maintain a high police presence on the roads over the schoolholiday period and continue with a recommencement of preliminary breath testing and drug testing.

“We’re not easing back at all. This is a critical period and we won’t be easing off on a commitment to ensuring our roads are kept safe. We say again to anyone driving during this period

to take your time, obey the rules, be courteous to other drivers and drive within your limits.”

Mr Milner said there had been an influx of State Highway Patrol and heavy-vehicle members and units from Road Policing Command during the Easter period.

From Friday to Monday police breath-tested 2383 drivers in an area including Ararat, Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, Horsham, Hindmarsh and West Wimmera municipalities.

They detected 190 traffic offences of which three were for drink driving and one for driving under the influence of

drugs. Mr Milner said the majority of the offences were for speeding.

“Unfortunately we detected some people speeding at more than 25 kilometres an hour above the speed limit, which is very concerning. Speeding is a recipe for disaster and places not only the offender at risk but also everyone else on the road,” he said.

“And I urge anyone who does detect someone travelling at excessive speed to get down their number plate details and make a complaint to police through Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 or through an online reporting process. We will follow it up.

“People are rushing to get to places quickly when they should be taking their time. We ask everyone to slow down. There’s a simple rule – follow the speed limit.”

He said having no fatalities or serious-injury collisions on Wimmera roads during Easter was satisfying.

“We were also pretty happy with the public’s general behaviour, again considering the level of increase in visitors to the region,” he said.

“We thank everyone who came to enjoy what the Wimmera has to offer for being part of that. We now want everyone to get home safely.”

In a business world where the dollar has to go as far as possible to generate success, decisions, including how to best tap into energy, must also make financial sense.

“We’re basically locking in our savings. It’s not only taken the sting out of the power bill, but also putting us financially in front with power use,” he said.

Footy boss: Season a rallying point A

BY DEAN LAWSON

n official overseeing a vast network of football and netball players across the WimmeraMallee has urged communities to use a resumption of mainstream country sport as a socio-economic rallying point.

Horsham District Football Netball League chairman Fred Mellington said the start of a 2021 winter sporting season represented the perfect opportunity for regional towns and districts to ‘bounce back’ after the COVID-19 pandemic.

He made his comments as he counted down to the first home-and-away round of Horsham District league

competition this Saturday and after Wimmera league clubs Ararat and Stawell broke the ice with a Good Friday fixture.

Mr Mellington said it was important that regional communities looked beyond the simple sporting side of football and netball competitions.

“Community sport is a perfect platform to regenerate our region,” he said. “The message from us to everyone is – just get involved. The games themselves are just that, games. It’s the ancillary benefits that come from participation that are so important to our rural wellbeing.

“The football-netball and sporting culture in general goes well beyond

sport. It’s more about people and communities.

“While playing the game and generating competition is important, we all know people who have long been involved in clubs who, when it comes down to it, only really care about the people involved and how everyone works together – the sporting side is secondary.”

Mr Mellington said he was looking forward to the opening round of his competition with nervous anticipation.

“Just to get the game underway and to see that first ball-up or centre pass will be great.

“It’s been far too long and our peo-

ple need that time at weekends to be able to get together, catch up and share experiences. Sport is a great conduit to developing regional solidarity,” he said.

“While there have already been and will always be all sorts of emerging issues to deal with, we have no choice but to be optimistic.

“We just have to work on getting things right. Some might argue otherwise, but the reality is that much of the social lifeblood of our communities is dependent on getting both football and netball running at full capacity.

“So again everyone – get involved.”

Last month Mr Mellington appealed to parents across the region to en-

Ararat sets new target Ararat Fire Brigade leaders have set a new Good Friday Appeal fundraising target after ‘smashing’ a $1-million milestone at the weekend.

The brigade, which runs appeal fundraising activities for the region, needed a little less than $4000 to reach its target - $1-million for the Royal Children’s Hospital since the group started fundraising in 1970.

Captain Daniel Ramsdell said the community dug deep for a great cause.

“Members and volunteers made $33,881 in rattling tins in the streets and at the traffic lights,” he said.

“We smashed our target, which was good. In total, Ararat made $38,000.”

Mr Ramsdell thanked everyone involved in the money-raising effort.

“Everyone’s done a fantastic job. I can’t be thankful enough,” he said.

“It was really successful – not as big as some other years, where we’ve managed to get $60,000 – but it was still good.

“We’ll be doing it every year. The next milestone will be $2-million, if we can. We’ll see how we go.”

In a collective effort, Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians communities raised more than $230,000 on Friday to help the state’s sickest children.

The Stawell community amassed

courage them to help clubs fill critical shortages in junior football and netball ranks.

He said the number of junior participants in both sports across the competition remained a primary concern.

“It’s a major issue but hopefully, when we get started, more juniors and reserves players come out of the woodwork,” he said.

Mr Mellington added that the introduction of former Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara league club Kaniva-Leeor United this season was also exciting.

“We wish them all the luck in their new venture in the league and have no problems in believing they will become part of our family,” he said.

Vandalism ‘traumatic’

GIVE THAT THEY MAY GROW: From left, Holly Bowden, Jenna Schampers and Tori Ralph collect donations on behalf of Ararat Fire Brigade for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Thanks to money raised on Friday, the rural city has now donated more than $1-million to the appeal since 1970.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER an impressive $61,182 for the appeal, largely thanks to an event at Pomonal.

Jim and Karen Leithhead opened their ‘world-class’ private museum to the public for the second time, showcasing an impressive collection of Lincoln vehicles.

The collection features 35 vehicles, with models from 1922 to 2003. The couple also hosted a show and shine.

Entry to the day was $20 a person, with the Leithheads raising $35,225.95 for the children’s hospital.

Stawell Fire Brigade members and volunteers also rattled tins throughout Stawell and Halls Gap. Brigade leaders paid tribute to

ex-captain Reg Smith, who has been collecting for the appeal for 50 years.

Good Friday Appeal leaders announced communities raised $17,122,879 for 2021, which executive director Rebecca Cowan said was another outstanding total.

“We’re overjoyed by the generosity of Victorian communities and beyond on this momentous 90th Good Friday Appeal,” she said.

“We are humbled to see everyone come together on this day, all with the singular mission of helping The Royal Children’s Hospital remain a world-class facility for the sick children of Australia.

– Sarah Matthews

An Aboriginal organisation operating in the Grampians has described alleged vandalism of an ancient ceremonial landmark at Lake Bolac as ‘traumatic and heartbreaking’.

Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation, responsible for cultural heritage protection and management in the area, alerted Aboriginal Victoria to the alleged removal of an estimated 60-metre section of an eel-shaped stone structure earlier this week.

The 176-metre landmark, on private land and registered with Aboriginal Victoria, is known as the Kooyang Stone Arrangement, which Eastern Maar believes was created more than 1500 years ago.

Officers’ initial inspections revealed the entire tail portion of the eel was missing. Aboriginal Victoria has launched an investigation.

The corporation outlined in a statement how the stone arrangement was steeped in cultural and historic importance and was a major gathering place before European colonisation.

“We cannot understate the importance of this site or the devastation that this destruction has caused,” the statement showed.

“Different language groups and different nations came to this space to celebrate the life cycle of eels, which are of great cultural importance and the basis for an entire aquaculture industry.

“It is traumatic and heartbreaking to see such an important place that is considered vital to the identities, histories, practices and well-being of our people in the state that is in.”

PUBLIC NOTICES 7 April 2021

What's next for Councillor Column pop-up park? Cr Claudia Haenel Most conversations I’ve had with the community since being elected to Council have been around recreational water, or the lack of it.

From the low levels at Green Lake, to the state of the Wimmera River around Horsham and the emptiness of Toolondo and Natimuk Lake, the topic of water is high on the conversation list.

Of greatest concern has been maintaining our population and keeping our young generation here. I am hearing that the lack of water to enjoy is a reason why it’s hard to keep our youth here.

Parents are telling me their children choose to build a life and family where there is adequate enjoyment of recreational water. Recreational water also attracts tourism and we hope those visitors will consider relocating here after their stay.

The most visited site in the magnificent Grampians/Gariwerd is McKenzie Falls, the main water feature within the National Park.

Have you enjoyed lunch, eaten take away or had a coffee at the pop-up park in Roberts Place?

Horsham Rural City Council wants to hear from you.

Mayor Robyn Gulline said Council was delighted by the positive response to the pop-up park initiative and was now calling on community feedback, to guide the future of the outdoor dining program.

“We have received some really great feedback from local traders and as a result we are considering extending the program,” she said.

“We are now asking the community to share their thoughts by completing an online survey, helping us to decide if our extended dining initiative should stay in some form, in the future,” Cr Gulline said.

The pop-up park features natural lawn, flower boxes and fixed seating made from recycled materials.

While HRCC puts aside funds for recreational water, whether there is enough to be allocated for our recreational lakes, is not ultimately up to council.

Statutory water authorities control water allocation and whether there is any in reserve for recreational use.

Although the temporary structure will eventually be relocated, the aim is to create more outdoor dining opportunities for the city’s restaurant and cafe scene.

We are all reliant on water. Whether for domestic purposes, industry or agriculture, we all need water. But in our drought-prone municipality and with drier than average rainfall, there is only so much to go around.

The survey closes at 5pm on Friday 30 April.

The rural sector has good practices, capturing rainfall from roofs and

infrastructure.

But could we look at introducing a mandatory requirement for all new building approvals to capture domestic and industrial rainfall with tank capacity determined by roof area space, to supplement town water supply?

It’s an option.

Add emerging industries like mining and other intensive water use practices to the future mix and we start to have serious impacts on our already limited supplies.

The science is everywhere.

If anyone listened to Ross Garnaut on his visit to the Wimmera in recent years, data tells us it is only likely to get worse.

As a community we must start having the discussions on sustainability and best practice for water usage. The perfect time is now with our community conversations.

I hope that we see a strong force of young people voicing their concerns for the future on the topic of water in our municipality.

Community also needs to keep the momentum going on opposing the possible merger of Wimmera Health Care Group with Ballarat Health Services. Let’s not drop the ball - keep the pressure on with letters direct to the WHCG board and state politicians.

One positive is that we have Horsham Aerodrome major upgrades underway allowing for more fly-in/fly-out services for medical specialists, making Wimmera Base Hospital accessible for health professionals anywhere in the country.

And just maybe, with vibrant recreational water features, those health professionals might also decide to stay and make Horsham Rural City their home. Let’s start having the conversations now.

Long-term opportunities await A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

BUSY WEEKEND: Stawell’s Evie Field supports her father – Warriors ruckman, Shane – during a Good Friday football match in Ararat.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Wimmera tourism leader is imploring businesses to explore ways to capitalise on the region’s growing profile after visitation records fell during the Easter long weekend.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said the thousands of visitors to the region during the fourday break would have contributed millions of dollars to the regional economy.

He said the investment injection represented a major economic boost in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Sleeman said more than 40,000 people flocked to Wimmera-Mallee towns and rural cities to attend events such as the Stawell Gift, horse racing at Stawell and Warracknabeal, the opening match of Wimmera Football Netball League in Ararat and other attractions such as Goatfest at Natimuk.

“The Easter weekend has taken visitation capacity to a whole new level and feedback I’m hearing from residents is they have never seen the region so full before,” he said.

“You only need to look at some of the holiday parks in the region and see they were at capacity, and on Saturday and Sunday historic trading records were broken for many busi-

ing visitation during the long weekend was a prime example of how much the region’s tourism profile was growing.

However, he said this highlighted a need for businesses to continue exploring ways to ensure they could attract return visitors.

“I think the challenges businesses in our region face now is some of the labour shortages,” he said.

“I also understand some businesses are finding it challenging to be open seven days a week, so they’re trying to stagger their opening days.

“But in everything we do, we must put the customer in front of every decision we make and that’s critical for all business in the region.”

Improving experiences

nesses across the region. I caught up with Pepita and Adam Atchison from Pomonal Estate and they broke historic trading records over the weekend.

They had 400 people per day at their winery.”

Locations such as Natimuk and campsites at Mount Arapiles were also among popular destinations experiencing higher-than-average tourism.

Natimuk’s National Hotel publican Bill Lovel said his business had experienced its busiest Easter since he started in the hotel almost 11 years

ago. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like this. At one stage we had to stop taking calls. We usually do some takeaways but couldn’t do that this time around,” he said.

“People were travelling here from all over the place. On Wednesday night we did 80 meals, on Thursday 90, Friday 95, Saturday 150, Sunday 128 and Monday, when we usually don’t open, 85.

“It’s great to get this type of support.

We’ve been run off our feet.”

Mr Sleeman stressed record-break-

Mr Sleeman said the tourism body was working with businesses to extend trading hours and improve visitor experiences.

“We need to make sure we’re tailoring our product to ensure people come back,” he said.

“We are talking with businesses to ensure there are enough restaurants and cafes open that cater for that market. It is something we’ve acknowledged and we’re working with businesses to make sure we can provide the best visitor experience.”

Mr Sleeman said capturing return

visitation would ensure the region’s tourism sector could maintain its growing profile beyond the COVID-19 pandemic – especially when international travel opportunities returned.

“We are in a really unique position right now – since around September and October last year our region has been at capacity and the forward bookings into May, June and July this year are all quite strong,” he said.

“We’re far enough away from Melbourne that we’re a really attractive drive destination, meaning people are likely to stay overnight and with that comes additional expenditure.

“And with international borders still closed, that will ensure visitors will continue to come back into the Grampians region.

“This has opened up a whole new market for us – in the past people would travel to Bali, Singapore or Japan for a holiday.”

Mr Sleeman said it would be important for the tourism board to promote the region as a multi-faceted destination to attract people back.

“That means we don’t just promote our national park, but we also talk about our wineries, the great food we have in our region, our attractions and some of our great hikes,” he said.

Kealy broadside on freight plans Member for Lowan Emma Kealy believes more trucks could be forced onto ‘already badly damaged’ regional roads based on a State Government position on rail freight.

Ms Kealy said funding for the Mode Shift Incentive Scheme, MSIS, would expire on June 30 and there had been no commitment from the government to continue the scheme.

“This program allows regional railfreight operators to offer competitive transport options for exporters, encouraging them to use rail instead of road transport to get their goods to the Port of Melbourne,” she said.

“But because the Andrews Labor government won’t give them certainty, freight operators are unable to lock in long-term contracts with exporters.

“When the Liberal-Nationals introduced the MSIS in 2014, it guaranteed $20-mil-

lion over four years to continue the scheme to 2018.

“But since 2018, Labor has cut $3-million of funding to the MSIS and is relying on a year-to-year funding model.

“This is just another example of how wrong Labor’s priorities are when they are shifting more freight off rail and onto our already dangerous roads.”

Ms Kealy said she was aware of at least one large export company that had made the decision to move its freight by truck ‘due to Labor’s funding cuts to the MSIS’.

“This decision alone has put an additional 3000 trucks per year on our roads through Horsham and onto the Western Highway to Melbourne,” Ms Kealy said.

“If the Andrews Labor government is serious about rail freight it will provide increased long-term funding for the MSIS to make sure rail can cost-effectively com-

Region’s service clubs pack a punch M

any of us have grown up with an acceptance and understanding that community service clubs are simply part of life.

Club names such as Rotary, Lions and Apex, to name only a few, have become ingrained in our regional consciousness.

With Rotary Club of Horsham East set to celebrate its 50th anniversary we can’t help but ponder what these types of clubs have done and what they do.

It is also a chance to reflect on why they are just as relevant today as they have ever been.

The role of service clubs can seem a mystery to emerging youngsters

taking their first tentative steps into an adult world.

To the uninitiated they can appear like little more than a group of old mates who use the premise of a ‘club’ to congregate for a few dinners, some lengthy chats, a few laughs and some ceremonies.

But while many involved might laugh and agree that these activities certainly happen, it is important to recognise the service-club idea usually means much more and the impact on community wellbeing and progress can be profound.

Service clubs are quintessential examples of the power of organised volunteer effort and have a habit of

making things that seem beyond the power of governments and authorities happen.

People need only consider for a moment some of the beneficial aspects of their communities to get a grasp on the potency of service-club influence.

Results from club efforts, whether they take on roles as primary project drivers or as part of a broader

partnership, are everywhere. These might range in scope from a humble park bench to a festival or a multimillion-dollar medical centre.

Projects can also get serious traction and go beyond providing benefits to a regional community and have a profound impact nationally or internationally.

It was Horsham Jaycees, after all, who in 1970 launched the famous Don’t Rubbish Australia campaign – in the company of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam – that ultimately helped provide foundations for the Keep Australia Beautiful movement.

Service clubs can differ in their approach, all having unique quirks,

protocols and charters, but they are all about providing an organised way for people to help others.

They can be part of an international or national collective or be homegrown and remain an important part of our society.

We know personal time has never been more precious, but we must ensure our service-club fraternity remains strong and vibrant.

We encourage people to consider ways of getting involved and for clubs to work hard in encouraging new members.

Dancers back in action across Horsham Dance classes are back in full swing across the region as Victoria continues its climb out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic closed down dance schools with restrictions particularly hard on indoor activities.

But classes are generating renewed enthusiasm.

When was the last time you were at the

West Side?

Karen Booker from Horsham School of Dance said trying to provide online dance-class experiences for students with far from reliable internet services and dealing with the uncertainty was devastating.

“Being back in the studio again with all our students has been a joyful start to 2021,” she said.

“We have a large number of students returning to their usual classes as well as lots of new students joining classes.

“There’s an energy and enthusiasm in the studio that’s very apparent.

“From the youngest students who have settled into their classes to the more senior students who are show-

ing a renewed focus and passion for their weekly dance class, we’re excited and looking forward to term two.

“With our COVID-safe guidelines in place and parents who are extremely diligent in keeping children who are unwell at home, we’re confidently planning for our 2021 recital to be in October.”

Urgent need

SIR, – I recently read an article in your newspaper where Horsham Rural City Council was going to have an updated toilet block constructed in Horsham’s Park Drive, to replace the existing toilets situated near the skate park.

I’m wondering whatever happened to the council’s plans to construct toilets at the western end of Hamilton Street, to cater for shoppers at the Aldi, Harvey Norman area?

I was in very urgent need to use a toilet while shopping on Easter Sunday, and fortunately decided to alter my shopping plans and go to the Woolworths locality first before heading over to Hamilton Street.

I am currently receiving radiation treatment for prostate cancer and one of the side effects is sudden uncontrollable bowel movement.

My dash to the Wilson Street toilet block might have put me in contention for the Stawell Gift because I was very lucky to make it to the toilet in time.

So, Horsham Rural City Council, what about some toilets for Hamilton Street shoppers?

FROM LITTLE THINGS, BIG THINGS GROW: Wimmera Pride Project cofounders Maddi Ostapiw and Loucas Vettos, pictured at an event in 2017, believe a move to become independent is a ‘natural progression’ for the advocacy group.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Independent move strengthens future L

BY DYLAN DE JONG

eaders of an advocacy group representing LGBTIQ people in the Wimmera say a move to become independent has given the organisation greater autonomy and direction.

Wimmera Pride Project’s executive team believes a move into a new era of governance as an incorporated body has allowed the group to work closer towards its vision of creating inclusive communities for all people in the region.

Community organisations Uniting Wimmera and later Centre for Participation were responsible for managing the project’s budget before the move.

Pride project communications manager Maddi Ostapiw said becoming independent was a ‘natural progression’.

“It’s incredibly important in terms of our sustainability and longevity and our future planning to be an incorporated body rather than operating under an auspice agency,” they said.

“We are a queer group, and a lot of the time queer identity and politics don’t necessarily align with mainstream organisations.

“We’re incredibly thankful for those who have supported us in the past – we wouldn’t be where we are today without the initial support, particularly from Uniting, because they really helped us set up in a professional manner.

“But this is just the next step to becoming an organisation with our own identity and goals.”

They said the group would continue running events such as monthly Queer Beer gatherings and develop more projects aimed at connecting LGBTIQ people.

“We have some awesome plans for the next couple of years,” they said.

“We’re really trying to ramp up our events capacity and cannot wait for our major pride night event in June.”

Ms Ostapiw, who also co-founded the pride

Life in art at St Arnaud hub An exhibition revealing how plants and animals can generate cultural, historic, geographic, social and scientific ideas will open at St Arnaud Rail Station Raillery Hub Gallery on Friday.

‘Naturally Inspired’ features 12 professional and accomplished artists from Bendigo Botanical Gardens Illustrators and ‘offshoot’ contemporary and traditional nature artists known as the ‘Friday Group’.

The presentation represents the first time artists from the two groups have exhibited together.

People might have seen detailed plant illustrations in an encyclopedia, museum, science journal or reference books.

Botanical illustrators continue to detail new herbarium specimens as important historic material and have continued to preserve the broad collection at Bendigo’s gardens since the

group’s foundation in 2000. The group hopes to inspire other Victorian artists to catalogue botanical specimens in civic botanic gardens.

The St Arnaud exhibition also draws together contemporary and traditional artists.

Founded in 2005, the Friday Group, led by formally trained artists including renowned water-colour artist Nick Truscott, began tutoring others in a wider range of mediums and subjects such as birds, frogs, fish and garden invertebrates.

The artists from Maryborough, Lockington, Elmore and Bendigo districts, bring a regional reflection of art in nature in alcohol ink, watercolors and acrylics.

The popularity of the group is increasing every year with up to 15 regulars.

Naturally Inspired will be open to the public from Friday to Monday, 11am to 4pm until June 7.

project, said she was excited about what becoming independent meant for the group’s future.

They and Horsham’s Loucas Vettos helped form the group in 2015 with the aim of educating people about issues facing the region’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex community.

The group has since grown to include an executive team consisting of a chair, secretary, treasurer, vice-chair, media and communications manager and several volunteers.

“It’s been a fantastic experience in terms of building an organisation from the grass roots,” Ms Ostapiw said.

“The pride project is a totally different beast than what we first imagined. It’s been amazing having so many committed community members put their hopes and dreams into the project.”

Ms Ostapiw said it was crucial the Wimmera had an organisation that could represent the rights and wellbeing of the LGBTIQ community.

“We wanted to try to make the Wimmera a place where people didn’t just have to survive until they were old enough to leave,” they said.

“We wanted to make it a place that was welcoming and had a strong rainbow community with the ability to create family out of those who were already living here.

“It’s so important that we can continue to offer services to local rainbow people.”

Sense of connection

Committee member Patrick Quaine said the group had provided him and his partner with a sense of connection on moving to the region in 2017.

“This has been hugely important for me. When I moved out here, I didn’t know anyone and I wasn’t sure how the community would react to an openly gay couple,” he said.

“When I moved here, I reached out to Maddi to see if I could help and that enabled me to make some very important community connections and made me feel welcome in the community.”

Anglers flock to Jeparit J

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

eparit Anglers Club members will soon start preparations for next year’s Easter fishing competition following another successful event at the weekend.

The Jeparit Easter Fishing Competition provides an economic boost for the Wimmera River town and has been a popular item on the region’s events calendar for the past decade.

Angling club president Rodney Robinson said the organising committee was rapt with how this year’s competition unfolded, particularly after last year’s was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We had 385 entries on Saturday and we were very happy with those numbers,” he said.

“The weather was great, but the fishing was a little bit quiet, which was surprising considering the water level.”

Entrants caught 65 fish for the day.

Matthew McConnel of Ballarat won $2000 after taking out the senior competition with a 1738-gram yellowbelly.

Nhill’s Shane Gusman placed second with a 1268g catfish, with Glenda Schulze, also of Nhill, third with a 1252g yellowbelly.

Ballarat’s Billy Greig won the junior competition, taking home $500 and a swag.

Oliver Bone, Nhill, was second with an 878g catfish, with Abbie McConnel, Ballarat, third with a 708g yellowbelly.

Mark Walkenhorst of Cranbourne West won a senior carp competition, sponsored by Wimmera Catchment Management Authority. His carp was 3722g, with Duane Ball, Koondrook, in second place with a catch of 3582g.

FISHING FUN: Karen Skalko and Blake Lovell throw a line in the Wimmera River on Easter Saturday.

QUALITY TIME: Garry Lamb and grandson Thomas Schneider enjoy some family time during the Jeparit Easter Fishing Competition at the weekend.

Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER There were also carp prizes up for grabs for junior anglers, with Brydon McPhee of Horsham winning with a catch of 2932g over Eli Jaensch, Warracknabeal, 2714g.

Trentham’s Timothy Brown won the Kevin Humphries – Oigle’s – Memorial category with a 798g yellowbelly.

Mr Robinson thanked the competition’s sponsors for providing an attractive prize list, which included everything from cash and an accommodation voucher to Engels, fishing rods and chairs.

“We are really grateful to all of our sponsors and hope they’ll be back on

board for next year’s event,” he said.

Mr Robinson said he hoped the region’s businesses reaped the rewards of an influx of people into the town.

“Hopefully they all did quite well out of the Easter weekend,” he said.

“The businesses sponsor us to help put on the event so we hope they get something out of it as well.”

Mr Robinson said the organising committee would have a debrief about the event before putting wheels in motion for next year’s competition.

“We’re already looking forward to Easter Saturday next year,” he said.

Kealy: Health minister must visit M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has backed community calls for Health Minister Martin Foley to visit Horsham to hear concerns about a merger proposal involving Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services.

Ms Kealy said the minister had snubbed an invitation from the Horsham community to hear first-hand significant concerns about the proposal.

She said she had asked Mr Foley during an adjournment debate in State Parliament in February to attend a public community meeting and to ‘immediately’ intervene.

“Parliamentary protocols state the minister must respond to any adjournment matter within 28 days, a deadline the minister has failed to meet,” she said.

Ms Kealy said it was critical the minister visited Horsham to listen to residents and gain an understanding about an ‘overwhelming’ consensus across the Wimmera that people did not want their hospital to merge with

Ballarat. “My office has been inundated with emails and phone calls from local residents about this issue, with 100 percent of these against the proposed amalgamation,” she said.

“It appears the government has a firm policy to amalgamate health services and I am aware they are having extensive discussions right across the state.

“But they must listen to local people who want to keep their health services local.

“Locals are smart enough to see that promises of more services, more doctors, more money and better infrastructure can be achieved without having to hand control of our hospital to Ballarat.

“I understand West Wimmera Health Service is in the process of engaging a visiting psychiatrist and general surgeon, and Rural Doctors – Nhill Medical Centre has engaged a new rural GP. They didn’t need to merge with Ballarat Health Services to achieve this, they just got on with the job and set up a contract for services.

“We can also look to the fantastic Wimmera Cancer Centre, which works in partnership with Ballarat, to illustrate how we don’t need an amalgamation to ensure amazing things can happen. This is the model we should extend and base future partnerships around, not amalgamation.”

Funding

Ms Kealy said whether the problem was funding, infrastructure, insufficient clinical staff and specialists or recruitment – a merger was not the solution.

“All of these problems can only be fixed by intervention through government policy that supports rural and regional hospitals, and by providing the funds our hospitals desperately need,” she said.

“One element of this is the need for the State Government to address the funding model for public hospitals and inject the capital funding needed to give staff at Wimmera Health Care Group the infrastructure they require to do a great job.

“This in turn will support growth in

“Parliamentary protocols state the minister must respond to any adjournment matter within 28 days, a deadline the minister has failed to meet” – Member for Lowan Emma Kealy

our region through decentralisation, not centralisation.”

Ms Kealy said she believed it was well-known that Ballarat Health Services had extended emergency department wait times, had difficulty in attracting staff including specialists – which affected services to patients – and recurrent budget blowouts.

She stressed that merging with Ballarat would not help the Wimmera.

“Any amalgamation must be a last resort, not a first step, because it cannot be undone. If we lose local oversight, our local hospital as we know it will be gone forever,” she said.

“Many people, in sharing the reasons why they are so concerned about this proposal, have cited the impact

on post-secondary education options when the former Wimmera Institute of TAFE became part of what is now Federation University.

“Local people know what so often happens when a big player whose core interests and administrative functions lie elsewhere enters our playing field – we lose.”

Ms Kealy said Wimmera Health Care Group amalgamating with Ballarat Health Services would be ‘a betrayal of Wimmera people’.

“For more than a century, locals have fought and raised funds for better local health services, governed by local people to deliver health services for local people,” she said.

“They have worked tirelessly to get a public hospital with a comprehensive suite of services. To surrender that to another hospital in Ballarat would be absolutely devastating for Wimmera people.

“The minister must come to Horsham and listen to the concerns of Wimmera people and put an end to the current talks of amalgamation.” sponsored by

Pools in a particular section of the creek at the end of the bitumen in Lake Avenue in Natimuk turned a dramatic purple or pink. Water took on a similar appearance in the Wimmera River near Jeparit during the height of the millennium drought as pools, without the benefit of regular flows, became increasingly saline and anaerobic.

Support for seniors to stay at home A

“Many people contact GCH seeking a specific service. Offering a range of services across several areas is exciting and a great opportunity for clients, because it increases people’s choices which can increase a person’s sense of independence adding to quality of life.”

Wimmera community health provider that has supported communities across the region for 35 years is expanding its aged-care services to offer greater choice for people in the region.

Grampians Community Health is experiencing promising results from its Horsham-based ‘at-home’ support services for the region’s ageing population.

The organisation introduced the support program earlier this year.

Horsham Rural City Council previously provided the service through a Commonwealth Home Support Program for people aged 65 and older and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people over 50.

The service includes home help such as personal support, shopping assistance, gardening, minor home maintenance and domestic support, meals on wheels and transport.

Grampians Community Health people and community support general manager Kathy Day said the program was critical in meeting a need for aged-care services in Horsham.

She said the community health provider could help people find the service they needed.

“Tasks that can become challenging as people age or their health declines, such as shopping, gardening, cooking, washing and personal care can be the reason a person sees no option but to move into residential care,” she said.

“Grampians Community Health can provide the preferred alternative of ‘at-home support’ – designed to meet needs through our GCH Assist pro-

A final report of a Federal Government Aged Care Royal Commission, released earlier this year, recommended the 100,000 people on a My Aged Care waiting list receive a Home Care Package by December 2021.

Ms Watson said it was uncertain whether that would be possible for the health service in that time frame.

However, she said the health service was hopeful more people in the region would be able to access a Home Care Package earlier because of this recommendation.

She said the Royal Commission also noted that client dignity and respect was utmost – values at the core of how GCH worked with all clients.

GREATER CHOICE: The Horsham team at Grampians Community Health. gram, which offers support choices for older people in Horsham to continue living at home.”

In addition to government program, the organisation also provides Home Care Packages in Horsham, which represent an expanded level of support to help people who find day-to-day tasks of living at home challenging.

Ms Day said clients could move from a lower-level home-support program to a Home Care Package with Grampians Community Health, with

the same care staff and same services with additional support and staff to help clients through the process.

She said the health service’s qualified and experienced staff had been supporting older Australians with Home Care Packages to stay living in the own home for more than 15 years.

Program manager Karen Watson said as part of Home Care Packages, case managers helped clients to understand the aged-care system and assisted them to change their services as

“Our clients always come first,” she said.

their circumstances evolved. “When a person contacts us to ask about help for themselves or a family member, we help make the complex process easier to understand,” she said.

“To access any government-funded assistance, the person needs to register with My Aged Care and have their eligibility assessed.

“Our staff can help with this process.

While they wait for the outcome of their assessment, we might be able to offer other support to assist them.

“During COVID lockdowns, GCH services continued, with staff visiting and supporting clients in their homes in a COVID-safe manner, and we will continue to do this adapting to lockdown rules as they change. GCH is ready to assist you, if and when this occurs again.”

STAR: Change Our Game Women’s Gift winner Hayley Orman celebrates her triumph.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Money to level playing field T

he running of Monday’s women’s gift at Stawell provided the State Government with an opportunity to add momentum to a push to ‘create a level playing field for women and girls in sport’.

Community Sport Minister Ros Spence said Australia’s elite female sprinters made their way to Central Park to compete in the Change Our Game Stawell Gift.

Hayley Orman, of Flagstaff Hill in Adelaide, won the event in a time of 13.876, off a handicap of 9.75 metres.

The $40,000 women’s gift offers the same amount of prizemoney as the men’s Powercor Stawell Gift.

The government has provided $1.22-million across four years to ensure the future of the time-honoured Wimmera athletics carnival.

It established the Change Our Game program in 2017 to create a ‘level playing field for women and girls in sport’.

The provides a range of grant and funding programs to support women and girls across all levels of sport and recreation in Victoria.

Since it introduced the Change Our Game Scholarship in 2018, it has invested more than $1-million to help almost 200 Victorian women

working and volunteering across all levels of sport and recreation to access professional development opportunities and training courses.

A Change Our Game Community Activation Program has funded 155 grants supporting community sport and recreation organisations to host community-level events that showcase and celebrate the role of women and girls in sport and active recreation.

Ms Spence said the Labor government had also led a board quota policy requiring peak sport and active-recreation organisations funded by Sport and Recreation Victoria to have 40 percent female representation.

“Change Our Game challenges gender stereotypes and delivers leadership opportunities for Victorian women and girls, and what better way to do that than through Australia’s most famous footrace,” she said.

Stawell Gift management committee chair Stephanie Spence added, “When we create environments and leadership roles where women have equal representation, everyone wins – I’m proud the Stawell Gift is leading the way.”

Dancers prepare for stage

Wednesday, April 7, 2021

COVID-safe planning regulations. She said the latest changes to regulations meant the performing arts centre could fill 75 percent of its audience capacity.

“That will please a lot of grandparents who want to see their grandchildren perform,” she said.

“We can have up to 180 audience members, but there are still density rules in place and we will have COVID marshals to ensure we meet the current one person per two square metres rule.

“This event will also provide a bit of a template for how we run our main event in September.”

Victorian dance teachers Monique Fox and Claire Haywood, who both have extensive experience teaching a variety of dance styles, will be adjudicators for the mini competition.

Mrs Harris encouraged people to follow Ararat Eisteddfod on Facebook for announcements about the event, competition rules and ticket sales.

People can also email ararateisteddfod@live. com.au or message the Facebook page for more information.

A series of theatrical and classical dance performances at Ararat Performing Arts Centre next week will mark a ‘long overdue’ return to the stage.

Ararat Eisteddfod committee has been busy preparing a full itinerary for its newly established mini competition designed to ‘restore positivity’ for the performing arts community.

More than 220 young performers from across Victoria have entered into the week-long event, from Tuesday to Saturday, which showcases skills such as jazz, tap, contemporary and classical ballet.

Committee secretary Chris Harris said the mini competition aimed to fill a void created by the cancellation of the 2020 Ararat Eisteddfod.

“This is extremely important for the kids, who didn’t have anything last year and didn’t get to perform on stage,” she said.

“This will also hopefully restore some positivity for the dance teachers and their schools who had a tough year last year with being shut down for up to nine months in some places.”

Mrs Harris said the committee was forced to reconfigure how it ran its events to comply with

Statistics point to heart-health issue

A

n area stretching from Ararat to Mildura has ranked second out of 17 Victorian regions for heart-attack hospital admissions and deaths from coronary heart disease.

The Heart Foundation produced the statistics based on a survey of 7000 Australian adults as it launched a program to motivate more people to take up regular walking.

Its figures showed that 52 of every 10,000 people or 22 percent above the state average in the state’s north-west, including Ararat, Hindmarsh, Horsham, Northern Grampians, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack municipalities, were hospitalised for coronary heart disease.

The region’s rate of heart-attack hospital admissions was 17.3 of every 10,000 people or about 27 percent above the Victorian state average.

The death rate for coronary heart disease in the snapshot region was 73.7 of every 100,000 people or about 20 percent above the state average.

In terms of heart-disease risk factors, the region also had the state’s highest smoking rate with 22 percent or 43 percent higher than the state average.

The region was also in the top

five for physical inactivity at 70 percent, high blood pressure, 23 percent and obesity, 37 percent.

Heart Foundation chief executive Adjunct Professor John Kelly said research suggested many Australians knew movement was good for their hearts and had been advised by doctors to be more active.

“But they are not acting on this,” he said.

“Overall, around one in two Australians aged 18 to 64 – that’s almost eight-million people – are not active enough for good heart health. This is extremely concerning given physical inactivity is a key risk factor for heart disease, which takes 50 Australian lives each day, or one every 29 minutes.”

Free walking plans

The foundation has launched a free six-week Personal Walking Plans program where participants will receive a walking plan tailored to their activity levels.

It will deliver plans via weekly emails and texts designed to support and motivate participants.

It will also provide information about the benefits of walking beyond fitness and heart health.

“This is a vital component of the Personal Walking Plans, because as our survey shows, simply understanding that physical activity is good for the heart

does not equate to getting off the couch,” Professor Kelly said.

“Over this six-week journey, participants will learn about some of the lesser-known benefits of regular walking, like unwinding at the end of a stressful day; exploring their neighbourhood; becoming stronger and more flexible; and improving their mood.

“Walking for an average of 30 minutes a day can reduce your risk of not only heart disease, but also stroke, diabetes, dementia and some cancers. It can also help maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and weight.

“That’s why we often call walking a ‘wonder drug’. If it were a medicine, we would all be taking it daily for longer, healthier, happier lives.

“By highlighting the unique and holistic benefits of walking, we are confident of recruiting an enthusiastic new generation to our Heart Foundation walking family, while also continuing our mission to save Australian lives from heart disease.”

The Heart Foundation’s experts in physical activity and exercise science, with input from consultants at Exercise and Sports Science Australia, have developed the Personal Walking Plans.

People can get started with a free plan by visiting website walking.org.au.

GOING GREEN: Kermit Racing team members, from left, Peter Schneider, David Morrison, Paul Newcombe, Jo Ussing and Graeme Ussing with ‘Kermit’.

Kermit shines for a cause A Nhill car-racing team raising money for a fight against rare cancers has performed strongly in an endurance event in South Australia, coming second in its class and third overall.

Kermit Racing is based on a green 33-year-old EA Ford Falcon sporting a unique super-frog logo designed by Gayle Newcombe Fine Arts and features team members Peter Schneider, David Morrison, Paul Newcombe, Jo Ussing and Graeme Ussing.

The team had just prepared the car in 2020 when COVID-19 struck, putting an end to travel plans. But with borders back open, Kermit Racing had an opportunity to complete an endurance event at Mallala, north of Adelaide.

The challenge was part of a Budget Endurance class, run as combined charity and race events across Australia.

Race manager Jo Ussing said cars must cost less than $5000 to qualify and teams used the event to raise awareness and money for research into rare cancers.

Feel the warmth of friendship

“This gives racing fans the opportunity to race at some of the best racetracks in Australia without having to sell the family farm,” she said.

“Teams focus on fundraising, this year supporting Rare Cancers Australia. It is a cause close to everyone on the team and Kermit Racing also won the award for the most money raised over the weekend.

“Completing 750 laps, a distance of 1950 kilometres in an old car on standard road tyres is no mean feat. Doing it under race conditions was even more impressive. The event was run across three days, a total of 24 hours of racing.”

Team members acknowledged financial sponsor SMS Rural as well as other sponsors from Nhill. Sponsorship packages are still available and people can call Mrs Ussing on 0419 379 000 for details.

People can also donate to Rare Cancers Australia online at www.motorevents. com.au/index.php/we-are-on-a-mission and nominate Kermit Racing.

Fair representation critical: Mayor N

BY DYLAN DE JONG

orthern Grampians Shire mayor Murray Emerson believes equal representation of towns in the municipality will be critical if a proposed change to the federal electorate of Mallee takes place.

The electorate could expand to include Stawell, Halls Gap and Great Western under an Australian Electoral Commission redistribution plan to mitigate population decline.

The commission expects the population of the Mallee will decline below the necessary number of voters in less than five years if boundaries remain the same.

Cr Emerson said he would expect member for Mallee Anne Webster to provide equal representation for Northern Grampians Shire towns if the changes occured.

“If it goes to Mallee, we will be making it well known that we would expect Anne Webster to give us due consideration by coming to the region and talking to the people who live in the municipality,” he said.

“The responsibility is squarely and fairly

with the local representatives to make sure due diligence is paid and I don’t believe the distance should be an issue.”

Mallee is Victoria’s largest electorate and is the only federal seat in the state the commission predicts will face population decline. Dr Webster’s electoral office is in Mildura, more than 350 kilometres from Stawell.

However, Cr Emerson said despite the distance he was confident the proposed changes were unlikely to affect Northern Grampians residents.

“From a Northern Grampians Shire point of view, both Member for Wannon Dan Tehan and the Member for the Mallee will be very good candidates for our region regardless of who gets the nod,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter what electorate we become because we’re on the border of the Wannon electorate and the Mallee electorate so we’re quite far away from both members electoral offices.”

The three towns under consideration were part of the Mallee electorate before being redistributed to Wannon in 2018.

Cr Emerson said former Member for Mallee Andrew Broad was ‘highly atten-

tive’ of affairs in the Northern Grampians towns when they were part of the electorate. “In the past, we had very good representation with Andrew Broad, who also worked out of Mildura,” he said.

“We would be expecting the same for whoever is our federal member in the future.

“Dr Webster is aware of what our major concerns are – at the moment that is housing.

“We have all of the services and have plenty of jobs, but unfortunately we haven’t got enough housing.”

Dr Webster welcomed the proposed boundary changes of an expanded federal electorate.

“Because of the proximity of Stawell to Mallee, I’ve already been working closely with residents and stakeholders in that region and look forward to continuing to advocate for all of Northern Grampians Shire,” she said.

The proposed expansion will add 5617 voters to the electorate. Objections to the proposal can be submitted until April 16 via the Australian Electoral Commission’s website, www.aec.vic.gov.au..

Blooms of toxic blue-green algae continue to hamper recreational opportunities in specific lakes across western Victoria.

Latest data has prompted Vic Emergency warnings about Lake Charlegrark in the Wimmera’s west and Lake Bolac south of Ararat.

At Lake Charlegrark, a popular fishing and boating destination, high levels of blue-green

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

algae have been evident since mid-January 2019. The next update on the lake is scheduled for 2.40pm on May 13.

A warning for Lake Bolac was based on detection of bluegreen algae at the waterway, also a popular destination with water-sport enthusiasts.

Lake Bolac’s next update is at 3.30pm on May 12.

A standard Vic Emergency

statement regarding blue-green algae in the lakes has been that – “The algal bloom is expected to remain until there is significant rain to flush the lake or cooler conditions slow the algae.

“Regular testing is being conducted to identify new outbreaks or changes that might indicate improved water qual-

ity. Notification will be reviewed weekly and updated as the situation changes.

“Warnings signs have been installed at the lake.

“You should avoid direct contact with affected water.

“Do not swim in affected areas or use water for cooking, drinking, washing or showering. Boiling the water will not make it safe.”

Elite surgeon in Horsham A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

podiatry centre in Horsham has recruited a travelling foot surgeon who will be the only specialist of his kind working in the region.

Elite Podiatry Centre has welcomed podiatric surgeon Dr Omar Baarini, who specialises in reconstructive foot surgery, to work with patients on a once-a-month basis to help meet a demand in the community.

Dr Baarini, who started in his position early last week, said his service would help reduce a need for patients to travel to centres such as Ballarat and Melbourne.

“We’re already extremely busy.

Appointments for next month are almost full, which indicates there is a clear need for this service up here,” he said.

“I’ll be coming up one day a month, then we might extend that to two or three days or once every fortnight depending on demand.”

Dr Baarini is qualified to care for bone and soft tissue pathology of the foot and ankle for a range of issues such as structural deformities, tendon and soft tissue problems, and trauma-related injuries.

The Melbourne-based surgeon also consults from Ballarat, helping to meet a need in the regional community.

“There’s a lack of clinicians who are willing to travel up or the ones who are from this region who study end up staying in the city because life’s more convenient,” Dr Baarini said.

“It would be good to be able to pro-

COMMUNITY FOCUS: Melbourne-based podiatric surgeon Dr Omar Baarini started in his new role at Horsham’s Elite Podiatry Centre last week.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER vide the surgical service locally, but that all comes back down to directors of the hospital.”

In his time in training in foot and ankle surgery, Dr Baarini has spent extensive periods in the United Kingdom and the United States.

He said he also had an interest in performing charity surgical work in developing countries such as Palestine and Lebanon and been involved in charity surgical missions abroad.

“As part of that work, we help refugees in war-torn areas. I’d like to get back over and do that work again when I can,” he said.

“I’ve always grown up in a family

where social justice issues have been important.

“I just think, if you’ve been given a skill set, it’s not all about making money and a living, it’s about helping those who don’t have the opportunity to get access to that treatment.”

Centre co-director Loretta Howe said Dr Baarini’s recruitment meant many Wimmera people could receive specialised treatment from within the region.

“We’ve been able to consult with him on lots of our fracture cases and other complex injuries and problems,” she said.

“He reached out to us last year interested in coming up because he had already been seeing lots of people from this region while working out of Ballarat.”

Mrs Howe said it had been traditionally difficult to recruit clinicians such as Dr Baarini to work in the Wimmera.

“There are no others with this qualification travelling up to the region,” she said.

“I’ve been in Horsham for 16 years now and since I’ve moved here, I’ve always seen a difficulty in attracting health-care professionals to come and work here.”

Armstrong on mayoral panel Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong is among representatives on a new 2021 Victorian Local Government Mayor Advisory Panel.

She is one of 15 mayors from across the state on the panel, which Victorian Local Government Minister Shaun Leane will chair and meet for advice four times a year.

The panel is designed to flush out ideas and concepts that benefit the local government sector and aid in recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The panel will meet for the first time on April 21 via video conference.

Four panel meetings last year included discussions about recovery from the 2019-20 bushfires, a pandemic response, implementation of a Local Government Act 2020, state and local government approaches to homelessness, dealing with the effect of the pandemic on tourism and harnessing the State Government Working for Victoria program.

Mr Leane said the panel would provide input on how local and state government could work to produce ‘real’ results for the Victorian community.

“I look forward to chairing this year’s panel meetings and hearing the diverse range of perspectives members will provide,” he said.

Apart from Cr Armstrong, the 2021 Local Government Mayoral Advisory Panel includes other mayors Sally Capp, Melbourne; Kris Bolam, Frankston; Louise Crawford, Port Phillip; Kate Hely, Stonnington; Joseph Haweil, Hume; Adele Hegedich, Wyndham; Despi O’Connor, Mornington; Kim O’Keeffe, Greater Shepparton; Daniel Moloney, Ballarat; Mendy Urie, East Gippsland; Libby Stapleton, Surf Coast; Jennifer Anderson, Macedon Ranges; Jenny O’Connor, Indigo; and David Wortmann, Towong.

Auctioneer Will Schilling will start proceedings at noon with up to 250 pens of different types of poultry on offer.

When the hammer falls for the last bird, a sundries auction will start and this will include quail and canaries, wooden boxes and more.

Club secretary Jeanette Fenton said the variety of birds on offer would be extensive.

“There will be the cute and fluffy, some will have pom poms, some will be colourful, some will have the longest legs and some will just want to sit and lay eggs,” she said.

She added there were many benefits to owning poultry.

SCOLIOSIS

WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR? WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO CHECK A GROWING PERSON’S SPINE? A scoliosis is when your spine curves from side to side unnaturally.

When does it occur? When the spine is growing sometimes these curves occur. It does tend to occur in families. The scoliosis maybe mild or graduate up to severe. The outcome of this issue is that the teenager may suffer from back pain or headaches and as they grow up the curves may continue to cause problems.

Chiropractors are ideally suited to assessing your child’s spine to see if these curves are starting to occur. As a chiropractor I can’t take those curves away if they are there, however chiropractic adjustment along with exercise and massage can certainly help limit the damaging effects of the scoliosis.

For the school holidays I offer to give a complimentary check on your child’s spine to make sure they are growing nice and straight and help avoid problems later in life. As the parent, I also show what to look for in the spine, so you know when things are out of alignment. Look forward to helping you soon.

The Wimmera Vaccination Clinic CALL FOR SUPPORT: Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano, right, with VFF chief executive Jane Lovell and Longerenong College students during a visit to the college last week, has called on the State Government to fund programs to fix country roads in its upcoming May budget. The organisation has created a planning framework, which also includes regional infrastructure projects, essential services and government programs.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Call to invest in region’s potential V

ictoria’s peak farming body has used regional road maintenance as an example of infrastructure needing State Government support to grow agriculture and fasttrack an economic rebound.

“We are a significant economic contributor, delivering $13-billion to the Victorian economy, providing a quarter of all exports and employing more than 87,000 people”

– Emma Germano

more than 87,000 people. Dollar for dollar, our industry punches well above its weight in terms of economic returns and it’s time we received our fair share.

“The Victorian government needs to recognise the industry’s future potential and invest accordingly. We don’t want to put a cap on our ability to grow.”

Ms Germano said Victoria needed an environment that promoted and protected thriving farm business and allowed them to prosper.

“Programs including the On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme and newly proposed On-farm Fire Suppression Grants will future-proof business and encourage investment,” she said.

“We desperately need a commitment and longterm strategy to propel agriculture and regional Victoria forward.”

Wimmera-Mallee sporting clubs are among organisations to share in State Government funding to develop coaching skills, administration expertise and new sports equipment.

Labor Member for Western Victoria, Jaala Pulford announced successful applicants from the latest round of the Victorian Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program.

The grants provide clubs with up to $1000 for new uniforms and equipment; up to $5000 for training coaches, officials and volunteers; up to $5000 to improve club operational effectiveness; and up to $5000 to help sports get back on their feet after the pandemic.

“The Sporting Club Grants Program is giving grassroots sports clubs in our local communities the support they need to grow their ranks and help more people than ever play the sports they love,” Ms Pulford said.

The latest round of grants include – Yarriambiack Shire: Murtoa Tennis Club, $959 for new nets and uniform items; Minyip-Murtoa Football Netball Club, $1440 for individual drink bottles; Warracknabeal Rifle Club, $1519 to up-

Victorian Farmers Federation included roads in a mix of key regional infrastructure projects, essential services and government programs in a planning framework it announced ahead of a May State Budget.

VFF president Emma Germano said ‘crumbling’ regional roads in many areas were bordering on unsafe.

“We’re calling for a minimum of $650-million in the budget over the next four years for regional road-asset maintenance and a further $200-million to reintroduce the Fixing Country Roads Program,” she said.

Ms Germano said the State Government needed to seize the opportunity to redefine what it meant to work and live in the regions.

“Agriculture has undoubtedly showcased its resilience throughout the pandemic,” she said.

“We are a significant economic contributor, delivering $13-billion to the Victorian economy, providing a quarter of all exports and employing

Super planning in your 60s F

FINANCE

or most Australians, their 60s is the decade that marks retirement.

For some this means a graceful slide into a fulfilling life of leisure, enjoying the fruits of a lifetime of hard work.

However, for many it means a substantial drop in income and living standards.

So how can you make the most of the last few years of work before taking that big step into retirement?

How are we tracking as a nation?

In 2015-2016, 50 percent of men aged 60 to 64 had super balances of less than $110,000.

For women the figure was a more alarming – $36,000 – not even enough to provide a single person with a ‘modest’ lifestyle.

Last-minute lift

If your super is looking a little on the thin side there are a few ways to give it a boost before retirement.

• Make the most of your concessional contributions cap. Ask your employer if you can increase your employer contributions under a ‘salary sacrifice’ arrangement. Alternatively, you can claim a tax deduction for personal contributions you make. Total concessional contributions must not exceed $25,000 a year.

• Investigate benefits of a ‘transition to retirement’, TTR, income stream. This can be combined with a re-contribution strategy that, depending on your marginal tax rate, can really boost your retirement savings.

• Review your investment strategy. A common view is that as we near retirement our investments should be shifted to the conservative end of the risk and return spectrum.

However, in an age of low returns and longer

focus

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

life expectancies, some growth assets might be required to provide returns necessary to support a long and comfortable retirement.

• Make non-concessional contributions. If you have substantial funds outside of super it might be worthwhile transferring them into the concessionally taxed super environment.

You can contribute up to $100,000 per year, or $300,000 within a three-year period. A work test applies if you are over 65.

• The 60s is often a time for home downsizing. This can free up some cash to help with retirement. The ‘downsizer contribution’ allows a couple to jointly contribute up to $600,000 to superannuation without it counting towards their non-concessional contributions caps.

Get it right

This important decade is when you will make the key decisions that will determine your quality of life in retirement. Those decisions are both numerous and complex.

Quality, knowledgeable advice is critical, and wherever you are on your path to retirement, now is always the best time to talk to your licensed financial adviser.

Ararat Live program confirmed Ararat is set to become a popular live music destination this year, with a suite of musicians confirmed to perform.

Ararat Live organisers have been busy planning events for the year and Australian folk singers Liam Gerner and Luke Moller will be the first to perform on Wednesday next week.

The 2021 program will run primarily at Ararat Town Hall. The group’s events previously ran at hospitality venues in the rural city before the COVID-19 pandemic hit early last year.

Musical director David Nicholson said it was great to have such a fantastic venue in town for class

PolyPromos Round Rainwater Tanks

acts to play at in forthcoming shows.

“It’s going to be great to get the Ararat Live program underway again. Our audiences have been hanging out for it,” he said.

“Moving to the Ararat Town Hall will hopefully open up possibilities to have larger crowds in the future.”

Gerner and Moller, set to play at Ararat’s Chalambar Golf Club at 8pm, have previously played with artists ranging from Kasey Chambers, Carrie Underwood, Lana Del Rey, Elton John, Jason Isbell and Robbie Fulks to Pnau, Kate Miller-Heidke and Hayes Carl.

“Liam has played for us before

– he seems like he could do anything musically,” Mr Nicholson said.

“The first time I saw him was about 15 years ago when he was really young and he was playing everything from funk, folk, souls and blues.

“He’s a real talent – we don’t know what to expect.”

Other acts prepped to play at Ararat in 2021 are Anna Smyrk, Van Walker, Deborah Conway, Benny Walker, Black Jesus Experience and Imogen Clark.

Tickets to the Ararat Live show cost $20 each and are available online at trybooking.com.

Vaccine step ‘significant’

W

est Wimmera Health Service leaders have described the significance of administering the first dose of COVID-19 vaccinations to the group’s aged-care and disability-care residents and residential aged-care and disability workers.

Chief executive Ritchie Dodds said rolling out the program at all of service’s aged-care facilities was a significant step.

“Delivering the vaccine to our agedcare residents and frontline staff is crucial to helping protect our people and the wider community,” he said.

West Wimmera Health Service worked with Ballarat Health Services’ vaccine-hub team and a Wimmera Health Care Group sub-hub team to provide the immunisations as part of the Federal Government’s staged rollout to priority groups.

The service set up mobile clinics at each of its aged-care facilities at Kaniva, Jeparit, Rainbow, Natimuk, Rupanyup and Nhill.

Mr Dodds thanked all involved in ensuring the first phase of the vaccination program happened efficiently and with great care.

“I cannot overstate our gratitude for the pivotal role played by our staff as well as those from our Grampians health-service partners for again responding so positively and effectively in these unprecedented times,” he said.

Mr Dodds added that it was ‘more

important than ever’ the community continued the fight against COVID-19.

“The coronavirus has not yet been defeated and we’ve seen recently in Queensland how quickly it can reimpose itself on our lives,” he said.

“The sooner we are all vaccinated the better.”

West Wimmera Health Service will administer follow-up immunisations in 12 weeks.

Vaccination is free of charge.

A national health message is – “Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will help protect people from getting sick from COVID-19. The vaccines being used in Australia are very effective at preventing serious illness and loss of life due to COVID-19.

“Vaccines are tested to ensure they are safe before they are approved for use. Before vaccines are made available in Australia they need to pass strict Australian safety standards set by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration.

“A COVID-19 vaccine is just one, but a very important, part of keeping our communities safe and healthy. It is important for everyone to continue COVID-safe practices such as hand hygiene, physical distancing and wearing masks when required. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, you must get tested and stay home.”

, LINKED IN: Telstra regional general manager Steve Tinker, left, and Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison announced the rollout of the 5G mobile network in Ararat late last week.

Ararat switches on 5G service Wimmera leaders are confident an upgrade to 5G mobile services in Ararat will enhance the rural city’s liveability and help attract more people to move to the region.

Connectivity speeds will be ‘significantly faster’ in Ararat, with network provider Telstra completing the upgrade late last week.

Ararat is among a list of cities in western Victoria with access to Telstra’s next generation of mobile technology, including Ballarat, Horsham and Hamilton.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said one of the organisation’s top priorities was improving connectivity to help drive innovation and encourage more investment in the Ararat region.

“This helps make Ararat a prime location for those looking for a tree-

change. We know there’s appetite for people looking to relocate to Grampians region,” he said.

“With the Telstra 5G network, those reconsidering their living options can continue to stay connected and work remotely with faster technology.

“Ararat now has the same mobile connectivity you might expect in capital cities and it means our region is now playing on the same field, putting us right in the frame for smart, high-tech jobs.”

Telstra regional general manager Steve Tinker said Telstra 5G in Ararat meant faster download speeds, better capacity on the mobile network even at the busiest times, and lower latency connectivity, which provided a platform for the future of technology and innovation.

“The benefit of these upgrades is they’ll also improve the underlying network capability, boosting capacity and speeds for Telstra’s existing 4G customers as well,” he said.

Ararat resident and Grampians Office Services owner Greg Day said there was ‘huge increase’ in internet speeds on the 5G network in Ararat after testing the service on his own device.

“The connection speeds are incredibly fast, nearly triple my existing download and upload speeds,” he said.

“This is a game changer for my business, which relies heavily on mobile data while I’m out visiting clients or installing software while working remotely.”

That’s what it means to me

F

ormer Brisbane Lions player Michael Close, 26, has done the full circle in football.

He played all his junior football with Harrow-Balmoral, from the under-10s to under-17s, found himself on a player pathway with North Ballarat Rebels and then had five years at elite level with the AFL Lions.

Then, after a short stint with North Melbourne in the VFL, he found himself back where it all started – on the farm back home and again playing with the Southern Roos, this time as assistant coach.

With Horsham District Football Netball League set to start its 2021 season on Saturday, The Weekly Advertiser caught up with Michael, who shared some of his thoughts

about what his home club meant to him – I love it to bits. At the moment I’m playing with the blokes I grew up with.

It’s great to be home and sharing an environment with fellas with a similar approach and outlook.

Harrow-Balmoral has always been a good club.

Obviously when I was in the AFL system I wanted to spend as much time as possible there and I wouldn’t have minded being there a bit longer.

But I always loved the farm and knew that I was going to finish there.

I’m happy to be home and playing footy with the Roos.

From my experience, in terms of getting drafted to play at the highest level you don’t need to go to other

Michael Close

clubs or leagues to make yourself known. If you’re good enough it can all happen from Horsham District league.

At Harrow-Balmoral the volunteer effort is amazing, with people giving up an enormous amount of time to make the club successful.

For example, we had a goods and services auction a couple of years ago where volunteers donated everything and raised $80,000 for the club. It was huge.

The season has been a long time coming.

It’s been good to be back with the socialisation of being around friends, enjoying their company and looking forward to another successful year of footy.

Preparing for divorce daunting E

nding a long-term romantic relationship is usually a difficult process which can appear daunting.

Lives quickly become entwined in a relationship and the process of undoing that is complex, particularly in the case of divorce or separation.

Each couple’s situation will have its own complications, sensitivities and needs but here are some steps to consider.

Take your time and consider seeking professional support and advice as you go, particularly as you tackle the challenging conversations around division of assets and care of children.

Where there are dependent children, their care arrangements will likely be central. Throughout this process, try to ensure they feel physically and emotionally secure throughout this process and, where possible, ensure they continue to have access to people they love and who care for them.

The need for different living arrangements will likely arise early. However, getting finances in order first can help ensure an outcome that reflects what is required for each of you, your children and pets, plus what’s possible with your financial situation.

Start by collating your relevant financial documents, including payslips, bills, bank statements, plus your loan, wills and property documents.

Find your utility and any other bills, registration papers, as well as super statements, insurance paperwork, investment statements and tax information. Also find identity documents like birth certificates and passports. Collate this information and, where relevant, make a copy for the other person.

Use this information to do and document a ‘stocktake’ of your financial situation, including incomes, expenses and assets. This will help inform decisions about new living and care arrangements but can also be used to assist you in your first appointment with your solicitor in relation to negotiating a property settlement.

it’s

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

Based on this information, what do your new living arrangements look like? Do you need to sell assets to facilitate the next step? Do you need additional financial advice? Have you closed joint accounts and cancelled joint credit cards?

Keep records of this ‘stocktake’, decisions made and your income and expenses as you move forward. If you are leaving a marriage, mark the date your separation officially began – you can’t get divorced until you have been separated for a year.

Financial steps

After you have undertaken this joint financial task, you will likely need to open a new bank account and update payroll and super fund details.

If you have moved and changed address, ensure you have updated your bank, mobile phone provider and others.

Ensure you have your own individual email account with a unique, private password. You will also likely need to update your will to ensure it reflects your change in circumstances.

This is general advice, designed to help you prepare for the first steps, but please seek advice on your individual circumstance.

Work starts on city aerodrome Horsham Aerodrome is undergoing a major upgrade to ensure it can provide modern emergency services into the future.

Work includes runway pavement reconstruction, new guidance lighting and the installation of a new back-up power generator.

It follows a Civil Aviation Safety Authority review of the airport’s suitability to provide essential services including aeromedical transfers.

Horsham Rural City Council is managing the upgrades, contracting five Wimmera companies to complete the work during coming weeks.

Air services will continue during the work.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said the $211,000 upgrade, funded by the council and the Federal Government, would improve the

airport’s usability under a range of conditions.

“There’s a back-up power source there now which provides emergency power to parts of the aerodrome. But critically, the new generator will be large enough to power all of the runway lights and the aeromedical transfer services at the same time,” she said.

“New lighting will ensure the runway can be seen from further away for all approaches. And the reconstruction of the runway surface will resolve some grading issues at the northern end, and in turn, make the aerodrome safer.”

General aviation and an aero club, two gliding clubs, crop-dusting firms, charter aircraft, air ambulances and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning use the aerodrome.

Seeking input on strategy

W

immera catchment overseers are inviting people with an interest in the long-term health of the region’s land, water and environment to review a blueprint for action for the next 20 years.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s draft Wimmera Regional Catchment Strategy 2021-2027 is open for public comment until May 3, 2021.

All 10 CMAs across Victoria are reviewing their regional catchment strategies.

The Wimmera plan considers how to best to use partnerships to create a ‘healthy’ catchment that supports agriculture, tourism and recreation.

It brings together vision and priorities of First Nations people, local government, Landcare and farming groups and the broader community.

Wimmera CMA chair Peter Hilbig said regional catchment strategies were the cornerstone of an integrated approach to regional planning and action.

“Land, water and biodiversity are all part of connected systems. To successfully achieve environmen-

tal, social, economic and cultural outcomes, each CMA is going to their community to ensure individual strategies reflect community values and priorities at the local level,” he said.

“We encourage the Wimmera community to review the draft document and provide us with their views.”

Mr Hilbig said the strategy mapped out values and priorities in the context of state and federal legislation, policies and programs.

He said key themes were water, land, biodiversity and community.

A Red Cross and Country Fire Authority, CFA, donation of emergency and bushfire management information packages will provide Ararat residents with ‘invaluable’ advice on how to prepare for natural disasters.

Ararat Rural City Council has joined Red Cross Ararat and CFA District 16 to provide emergency resources and support to protect the region’s ‘most vulnerable residents’.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the material relating to emergencies and bushfire management would support residents to create a holistic plan and better prepare their homes.

“Our region has faced a range of climate hazards such as drought, bushfires and floods.

Council recognises an event can happen at any point and better emergency preparation can help save lives,” he said.

“There’s a range of steps our residents can take to minimise environmental risks in our region such as cleaning out gutters, tidying gardens and removing flammable items around your property.”

The resources are available online at www. ararat.vic.gov.au/services/emergency/emergency.

Safer, more efficient

“It’s vital for everyone to work together for the ongoing improvement of our catchment, at both a practical and strategic level, and this document is an important guide for integrated regional projects,” he said.

The strategy aims to improve rural and regional liveability and community wellbeing, address the challenges of climate change and to ensure the Wimmera is at the forefront of innovation.

People can review the draft online at www.wcma.vic.gov.au/rcs2021 or phone 5382 1544 for a copy.

Ararat Rural City Council expects a $376,000 upgrade to a major highway link in the city’s south will be finished within two weeks.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the upgrades to Truscott Street would mean the road would have a hard-wearing surface, making journeys smoother and safer for drivers.

“Located in a built-up area, the existing gravel road fails to address the high traffic load it carries, from motorists, garbage trucks and local industry heavy vehicles,” he said.

“The construction of 540 metres of bitumen will provide a smoother, safer and more efficient journey for motorists.

“Upon completion, residents will have a much smoother road surface with drainage, which will improve the water flow and allow our infrastructure to cope better with floods.”

‘Significant’ gold potential S

t Arnaud district in the Wimmera’s far east is the latest area to produce promising results for goldexploration company Navarre Minerals.

The company has reported ‘highly encouraging’ gold intercepts from an ongoing air-core drilling program at its St Arnaud Gold Project, north-west of the Wimmera centre.

Latest assays include a standout broad gold intercept of 20 metres at 1.8 grams of gold per tonne in a hole 180 metres north of St Arnaud goldfield New Bendigo Gold Mine.

The company is confident the result, along with other high-grade intercepts, confirms strong potential to discover significant economic gold mineralisation beneath shallow historical workings of St Arnaud Goldfield.

It has completed 4000 metres of drilling and is likely to extend the air-core program beyond 5000 based on results.

The St Arnaud announcement follows a similar exploration report from Navarre Minerals’ efforts to find precious metals south-west of Ararat.

These latest results come from nine of 12 east-west traverse lines across St Arnaud’s New Bendigo Line, representing 1240 metres of drilling in 19 holes.

The program is Navarre’s first drill testing beneath the shallow gold workings of a recently granted exploration licence.

This permit covers most of the historical mines of the old St Arnaud Goldfield, which produced 400,000 ounces of gold

between 1855 and 1916. The licence includes gold-bearing New Bendigo – Bristol, New Chum and Nelson lines.

After testing 2.6 kilometres of the New Bendigo Line, Navarre’s attention will shift east towards the prolific Nelson Line. This target is home to Lord Nelson Mine, which in producing 300,000 ounces of gold is St Arnaud’s largest gold producer.

The company’s broader air-core program covers 32 holes totalling 2761 metres on regional targets on an adjacent exploration licence.

In this licence, the company previously identified gold and silver mineralisation extending for at least five kilometres north of St Arnaud Goldfield under shallow Murray Basin cover.

Navarre has two of its six operating drilling rigs deployed at St Arnaud.

Navarre managing director Ian Holland said it was great to see ‘strong’ gold results generated from the company’s first reconnaissance drilling campaign on the new exploration licence.

“We are currently drilling in the shadow of St Arnaud’s second largest historical mine, the New Bendigo shaft, and we are encouraged by the tenor and widths of the near-surface gold mineralisation intersected to date,” he said.

“St Arnaud is the second largest hardrock goldfield in Victoria’s Stawell Geological Zone which, until now, has missed out on Victoria’s gold resurgence.

“We look forward to sharing strong news-flow over the coming months.”

REMEMBERED: The Willaura community commemorates Anzac Day in April 2019. It was the town’s last physical service before the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread events to be cancelled.

Brice guest at Willaura service A serviceman with 50 years of experience will share his reflections of his time in the military as part of a public Anzac Day service at Willaura later this month.

A Stand to the Cenotaph and Memorial Hall Service will be among Anzac Day proceedings starting from 9am on April 25.

Organisers cancelled the dawn service, which normally runs as part of the day.

Following the cenotaph service there will be a march to the town’s memorial hall for a commemorative service. Hamilton Pipe Band will lead the march.

Commander Mick Brice, who has a strong connection to Willaura, will be guest speaker at the hall service.

Commander Brice first joined the Royal Australian Navy as an apprentice in 1964, and his career extended over 50 years of military service.

He was commissioned as Sub Lieutenant in 1977 and served ashore at HMAS Cerberus and in the UK, and then at sea in aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne.

He was the arrester officer responsible for the safe landing of aircraft on their return to the ship.

From 1982 to 1985 he was involved in shore base development tasks in Canberra. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and then served as the Engineer Officer of the frigate HMAS Parramatta, base ported in Sydney.

He worked at the staff college

in 1988 and then returned to Canberra before he was promoted to Commander.

He has been employed in various other roles, including helping write a handbook on improvised explosive devices for United Nations, UN, peacekeepers.

Following the service in the hall, a short ceremony will run at the Plantation Memorial.

Willaura Primary School parents will run a morning tea and are asking community members to contribute a plate.

Students from the school will also participate in both commemorations, and members of the public will be invited to lay wreaths.

Tribute to club’s longevity R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

otary Club of Horsham East will commemorate a half century since the club was first chartered with a major dinner involving regional leaders and fellow service clubs.

The club will celebrate its 50-year anniversary on April 16, to coincide with the date Rotary Club of Horsham first chartered the Horsham East club in 1971.

Regional leaders, including Horsham councillor Penny Flynn, representatives of neighbouring Rotary clubs of Horsham, Nhill and Warracknabeal and past club presidents are set to make an appearance on the night.

Horsham East president Zane Bell said reflecting on the club’s rich history would also be a key focus of the dinner.

“We’re looking forward to having our past president and historian Jim Lonsdale speak about the history of our club on the night – Jim has been a member for 47 years,” he said.

“We will also have all the members of Rotary Club of Horsham come along because they’re the ones who chartered our club in 1971 Their club president Doug Mitchell will speak on the night.

“We have also invited presidents of Horsham Lions and Probus clubs as well as past presidents of Horsham East, who are no longer living in Horsham, and our District Governor-elect Philip Beasley. There’s

been a lot of planning that has gone into this – we’re going to have a golden theme for the night and we’re asking everyone to wear a touch of gold, whether that’s a piece of gold jewellery or a gold bow tie.”

Rotarians Malcolm Taylor and Norm Silvey were key figures who set the wheels in motion to start the Horsham East club.

The pair ran a meeting for interested people in early 1971, before

district governor of the time Jim Chisholm presented the club’s charter at Horsham Town Hall with 25 members present.

Mr Bell said hard work and persistence of current and former club members was a major factor contributing to the club’s sustainability and success.

“I think it’s been our achievements in terms of the numerous projects we’ve pursued over those

50 years that has played a major role in where we are today,” he said.

“That’s just a legacy to the volunteering and commitment of the many members and friends of Rotary who served our club and district.”

The 50-year anniversary, at Horsham Golf Club, will complement the club’s 43rd annual art fair at Horsham Town Hall, running from April 13 to 18.

Bell ref lects

R

otary Club of Horsham East president Zane Bell is proud to have served his community in his leadership position.

Mr Bell will step down from his role in June, with president-elect Pam Clarke taking charge.

“Last year in 2020, I was privileged to be inducted as president of Rotary Club of Horsham East,” Mr Bell said.

“When I look back at the long line of presidents who have assumed this role throughout our club’s history, I feel proud and honoured to lead our club while commemorating its 50th golden anniversary.”

Mr Bell said his time as the club’s leader deepened his desire to provide service to others, promote integrity and peace – some of Rotary’s key objectives.

“Our members form part of a 1.2-million-member network of Rotarians worldwide who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves,” he said.

Mr Bell said the club had enabled numerous members to create long-lasting friendships while giving back to their community.

“Within our own club, there have been many friendships forged, many fun times and wonderful memories created, while striving to help and improve our communities, both locally and internationally,” he said.

“This has defined our club as a leading and respected organisation, one that embodies Rotary’s ideals and objectives.

“To our members, past members, and friends of Rotary, I congratulate you for your club’s achievements. We will renew acquaintances and most of all, share in a fun, enjoyable occasion.

“I’d like to thank you all for your service to Rotary and the community and most importantly for your friendship.”

to past and present Rotarians of Rotary Club of Horsham East for your service to the Horsham community and beyond these past 50 years.

I am a proud member of 25 years and will endeavour to serve my community with the high ideals that were the foundation for this club, thank you for your foresight and your inspiration!

Team effort boosts aerodrome A need to protect patients and ambulance members awaiting air transport at Horsham Aerodrome is among notable projects involving Rotary Club of Horsham East.

Construction on Horsham Aeromedical Transfer Station at Horsham Aerodrome ended in 2016 after a 10-month building project bringing together dozens of Wimmera tradesmen and women and community groups.

Completion of Nhill Aeromedical Transfer Station inspired the project.

It prompted a small project group consisting of Ambulance Victoria Auxiliary’s Paul Burton,

Freemasons Victoria Wimmera lodge’s Philip Nicks and Jenny Reid from Horsham East Rotary Club to take the lead to ensure Horsham too had a transfer station.

People volunteered many hours to make this project a reality, contributing an estimated $160,000 in in-kind support.

The importance of having a transfer station is to protect patients and ambulance members from the elements while they wait for medical aircraft to transport them to metropolitan hospitals.

On average there are at least two medical transfers each day from Horsham.

Legacy continues

R Congratulating the Horsham East Rotary Club on 50 years of magnificent engagement, service and contribution to our local community and beyond.

1971 - 2021 50 YEARS

otary Club of Horsham East presidentelect and former Horsham mayor Pam Clarke is hoping to carry on the club’s 50year legacy and strengthen its connection to community when she moves into her new leadership role later this year.

As the incoming president of the service club, Mrs Clarke said there was need to acknowledge the ‘amazing work’ of the 50 presidents who had come before her.

“This club has been fortunate to have had some remarkable men and women who have led the club through projects and service over the past 50 years,” she said.

Mrs Clarke said a long list of causes Rotary championed globally such as promoting peace, fighting diseases, supporting education and protecting the environment were a show of real commitment the service clubs had to the health and wellbeing of communities they supported.

“Many of these important projects have been completed with the co-operation, hard work and

support of other clubs, businesses and individuals, who have generously donated their time and money to ensure the community’s needs are met,” she said.

“Rotary Club of Horsham East is a strong and vibrant club dedicated to not only the health and wellbeing of this community, but also the health and wellbeing of the world.”

Mrs Clarke said over the next Rotary year, the Horsham service club would be tasked with looking at how to work to protect the region’s environment.

“It is with a great deal of honour and humility that I look forward to my year as president of our club, a group of wonderful local men and women who are committed to their community, but also have a world view,” she said.

“Rotary Club of Horsham East has a proud tradition of having fun in fellowship, while doing good works in this community, and contributing and supporting the good works of Rotary International.”

C ongratulations to the Rotary Club of Horsham East for 50 years of service to our community, and the global community of which we all belong.

Jayco Horsham would like to congratulate Horsham East Rotary Club on 50 years of serving the community...

Wishing you strong membership, great fellowship and many more opportunities to serve our community, for the next 50 years.

50 years of projects, friendships

I

t was on February 5, 2021 that Malcolm Taylor and Norm Silvey called a meeting at Horsham Technical School of interested people to form a second Rotary club in Horsham.

At that stage the Rotary Club of Horsham had an overflowing membership and decided that it would be the right time to form a new club.

A meeting of provisional Rotary members was then called on February 17, 1971 at La Fontana Restaurant, now Horsham Sports and Community Club.

On April 16, 1971 Rotary District Governor Jim Chisholm presented the club’s charter at Horsham Town Hall.

The inaugural president was Jim Coffey and secretary, Graham Campbell.

Rotary Club of Horsham chartered the new club.

In its history, the club has provided one district governor in Geoff Tually, and many members for district committees.

Thirty-nine people have received Paul Harris Fellowships.

Rotarian, past president and Paul Harris Fellow Terry Harris was the first to attend Rotary Youth Leadership from Horsham and remains a member of this club.

The second club president was respected physician Rodney Abud, who worked at Wimmera Base Hospital for almost 30 years.

Dr Abud left Horsham in 1987 and in his final years he was involved

WHERE IT STARTED: Rotary Club of Horsham East officially became a club at Horsham’s former La Fontana Restaurant on February 17, 1971. Pictured at the meeting are, from left, Norm Silvey, Jim Chisholm, Malcolm Taylor, Bill Sones, Jim Coffey and Bob Bethell. in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients. Ironically, he himself now suffers from the same disease.

His son David is riding from Melbourne to Horsham to raise money for research into Alzheimer’s disease and dementia during the week of the celebrations.

There have been many long-standing members who have contributed to club growth and activity.

These include Bruce Johansen, celebrating 50 years of membership this year, and resident historian, Jim Lonsdale, 47 years.

Mr Johansen can recall when there was a dress code to attend meetings – a jacket and tie – while Mr Lonsdale

also recalls debate to allow women to become members. History shows that some members at the time resigned from the club because the issue was too controversial.

It was 26 years ago that the club formally admitted woman into the club.

President of the time Bob Mibus wrote in an annual report: “I was pleased that in my year as president the club was able to address the issue of woman in Rotary, culminating in three women being inducted into the club.”

These were firstly Katherine Birkin, the then director of Horsham TAFE, followed by Robyn Lardner and Anne Hayes, both health professionals at Wimmera Base Hospital.

PLEDGE: Rotary Club of Horsham East charter member Clive Carroll recevies ‘Object of Rotary’ from Rotary District representative Jim Chisholm of Geelong during a presentation of charter in Horsham Town Hall on April 16, 1971.

Mrs Lardner went onto become the club’s first woman president in 2001.

Many projects have been undertaken by the club in the past years and some of these include: • Fundraising appeal for Karkana Support Services; • Development of Rotary House in conjunction with other service clubs; • Construction of the Leaves of Love Memorial Garden at Horsham cemetery in conjunction with service clubs; • Wimmera Art Show; • Profiling humanitarian workers including Gabi Hollows, Geraldine Cox and Moira Kelly, raising more than 70,000 for their causes; • About $30,000 in community disbursements annually;

• 40th Anniversary Messaging System and Clock constructed on O’Callaghan Parade; • Establishment of Horsham Aeromedical Transfer Station; • Donated towards Horsham Aquatic Centre, Horsham Town Hall and Wimmera Cancer Centre.

The club looks forward to celebrating the milestone throughout the year with our community and fellow Rotarians.

Uniquely beautiful, not forgotten

R

otary Club of Horsham East has been involved in many community projects and one of the most profound was a combined services effort to establish an Infant and Children’s Memorial Garden at Horsham Public Cemetery.

On April 19, 2007 officials launched a call for money and support for the garden.

Combined services clubs of Horsham undertook the project under coordinator, the late Greg Macumber.

This group consisted of Rotary Club

of Horsham East, Rotary Club of Horsham, Apex Club 15, Apex Club of Jardwa, Lions Club of Horsham, Lions Club of the City of Horsham, Masonic Lodge of Wimmera – number 70 – Horsham, and Quota International of the Wimmera and SIDS and Kids.

The combined clubs raised more than $6000, itself quite a successful outcome, but it also brought many diverse groups together for a common reflective cause.

Gary Bird, a Horsham councillor at the time, officially launched the project and gave an emotional speech to the audience sharing his own grief

at losing a brother. Horsham resident Jill Coutts initiated the project and Kaye Vincent had recognition for her earlier work in developing a memorial to infants and children in the Horsham cemetery.

A bronze ‘tree of memories’ sculpture, created by Banyena artist Donal Molloy-Drum, is the dominating feature of the garden, dedicated to Horsham district families who have experienced the trauma of infant death.

The sculpture features leaves, recognising lost children, and symbolic boats and birds, reflective of ‘the spirit through life’.

The community had an invitation to ‘name’ the garden, and many ideas came forward.

From those submitted, the name ‘Leaves of Love’ was ultimately selected.

It came from then Horsham resident and member of Rotary Club of Horsham East Sue Van Every.

She said at the time, ‘For me, the family is like a strong tree growing and nurturing the leaves. Each individual leaf is uniquely beautiful and should not be forgotten’.

A verse was also included into the project from poet Judy Hazelden, for-

United against violence Rotary Clubs of Horsham East and Horsham launched the #SayNO2familyviolence project in 2019.

The concept of bringing the campaign to Horsham started in August 2017, when Rotary Club of Maryborough presented details of its achievements to the Horsham East club.

Rotary Club of Horsham East past president Steve Holmes saw the need to introduce the project to Horsham and now both Horsham clubs work together to roll out the #SayNO2familyviolence campaign throughout the Wimmera.

Horsham and Maryborough are cities with some of the highest familyviolence rates in Victoria.

One of the program’s aims is to empower everyone in the community

merly of Minyip. Mrs Hazelden was inspired by her own children to pen the special verse.

In 2018, the same groups came together to rejuvenate the memorial gardens at the cemetery. Work included installation of a new watering system, artificial lawn area, footpath, new plants and general maintenance of the area.

This project, being highly sensitive to so many, demonstrated profound community spirit between diverse community groups that joined for a project of perpetuity and compassion.

to feel confident to report incidents of family violence.

Rotary has had support from domestic-violence survivor and White Ribbon advocate Simone O’Brien, Horsham Rural City Council, The Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre Horsham and Grampians Community Health.

As part of the project there is a website with Horsham district support-services contacts and location details.

A hard-copy wallet card has the same location and contact details; these are available from various locations in Horsham.

Roadside advertising boards will also be strategically placed across Horsham at least six times a year to promote discussion.

Wimmera Bearings is proud of its long association with the Rotary Club of Horsham East and congratulate the club on an impressive 50 years of support in the region.

Leon and Gloria look forward to continue supporting the great work that Rotary do in the community.

Opportunity for Wimmera artists R

BY DYLAN DE JONG

egionally produced artwork is set to take over Horsham Town Hall early this month for Rotary Club of Horsham East’s week-long Wimmera Art Fair.

More than 18 artists across the Wimmera will have their art featured in the club’s 43rd art fair, from April 13 to 18.

The event will provide established and up-and-coming artists a chance to exhibit and sell their work while also raising money for the community.

Club president Zane Bell said the Wimmera Art Fair, across a week instead of a traditional three days, was a premier community event that celebrated the work of regional artists.

“This event is extremely important for our region, especially after coming out of lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.

“We’ve been getting really good entries from all the artists. They’ve all been looking for this opportunity to display their art for a while.”

Artists such as Nhill’s Kathy Koop, whose work incorporates pastel paintings of landscapes, birds, animals and people portraits, will feature in the art fair.

Casterton’s Peter Hill, who has had his art featured in various exhibitions across the region, will exhibit his art of landscapes and military scenes.

Nhill’s Naomi Zanker, who has a focus on oil and gouache styles of painting, and Wartook’s Pam Thoday,

ART FAIR RETURNS: Rotary Club of Horsham East member Gary Green, holding artwork by Alison Norton, is keen for this year’s Rotary Art Fair, at Horsham Town Hall from April 13 to 18. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER whose work features Australian landscapes in pastels, will also be among entries in the art fair.

Mr Bell said the fair would provide a ‘solid opportunity’ for Wimmera people and artists to support and promote a stronger art scene in the region.

“We’ve got a great art culture here in the Wimmera and there’s always new younger artists coming through too,” he said.

“Artists looking for that opportunity to learn from other artists and create new ideas will have an opportunity

to do so at this event.” The format for this year’s art fair has changed in line with COVID-19 restrictions. The club has cancelled an opening gala night and dinner it would traditionally run for the event.

The Wimmera community will also

have a major say in selecting prizewinners for the event in a ‘people’s choice’ style of criteria. In previous years, an experienced judge would select prizewinners.

In addition to the event acting as a platform for regional artists to showcase their work, it has also provided an opportunity for the Rotary club to raise money for the Wimmera community.

The art fair typically generates about $25,000, which the club injects into charities or regional projects.

This year, BCH Accountants is a major sponsor of the event.

BCH principal Dallas Landwehr said he was excited to be among sponsors of the art fair.

“BCH Accountants is proud to once again sponsor the Horsham East Rotary Art Fair as it is a terrific showcase for local art and a great community event,” he said.

“Money raised from the art fair is used to support local community projects such as the Wimmera Cancer Centre.”

Artist who would like to enter works in this year’s art fair can register via www.hreartfair.com and for further information call Gary Green on 0428 821 213.

Entry to the art fair at Horsham Town Hall is by gold coin donation.

Opening times are noon to 4pm on Tuesday, April 13 and Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. Sunday opening is from 10am to 2pm.

Fay tackles new challenge R

Major raffle

F

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ay Hawkins has always had an interest in drawing, but only started taking her talent seriously later in life.

“I was old, I was nearly 60,” she said of her decision to try her hand at painting.

“After I gave up work and had a bit of time, I thought I’d have a little bit of a go.

“I didn’t think I’d last long but it’s taken over my whole life.”

Mrs Hawkins, 88, is among contributors to this year’s Horsham East Rotary Art Fair, in Horsham Town Hall from April 13 to 18.

“I’ve always liked a challenge in my life. I’ve always had to do something,” she said.

“And when COVID came, I thought, I’m going to have a challenge and see if I can have a bay at the art fair.

“I have entered the show before, with just one or two, but I thought, I’m going to have a bay.

“That’s what I’ve worked on this whole year – I’m having a bay for the first time.”

Mrs Hawkins’ bay will feature nine artworks, painted in the past 12 months.

“What else do you do when you’re locked up and you can’t go out?” she said.

Mrs Hawkins is primarily a landscape painter.

“I love doing gum trees – I think I do more gum trees than anything else,” she said.

KEEPING BUSY: Fay Hawkins has spent the COVID-19 pandemic preparing for this year’s Horsham East Rotary Art Fair. She will have a bay at this year’s show, from April 13 to 18.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “I do a little bit of still life, but not as much as the landscape.

“I use oils the whole time. I love the texture of oils, I find that I can manipulate them and they have a lovely, glossy surface to them.”

Mrs Hawkins said she had always been a drawer.

“One of my daughters has a book that I’ve been doodling and drawing

things in, that I can’t remember,” she said.

“I only went to a small school and we didn’t have art – reading, writing and arithmetic, that’s about it.”

Mrs Hawkins grew up at Mitre and moved to Minimay with her husband, Alwyn, where they lived for 50 years.

She now lives in a unit at Sunnyside Lutheran Retirement Village, where

she paints canvases on her kitchen table.

“I’ve got to do something,” she said.

“I’ve sold a few – between selling them and the family, I haven’t got much at all. But I enjoy it. If anyone wants to buy them, I find it more of an honour than getting any money for it.

“It’s an honour to see my work on a wall.”

otary Club of Horsham East will launch a major raffle as it prepares for its 43rd Wimmera Art Fair.

Club president Zane Bell said this year’s raffle would be unique because ticket sales would be extended until June 23 to coincide with a changeover dinner and 50th anniversary of the club supporting the Wimmera community.

“The money raised from the raffle will go towards two projects, an upgrade to a 40th-anniversary messaging system and digital clock in O’Callaghan Parade in Horsham and a commemorative family bike rack in Horsham,” he said.

“Both projects will be in partnership with Horsham Rural City Council, with the club anticipating the rack will be designed and manufactured locally.”

Rotarian and president-elect Pam Clarke is co-ordinating the bike-rack project and after club endorsement the design will be on display at a 50th anniversary dinner in April.

Rotarians and business owners have contributed prizes for the raffle, with the first prize a $620 ‘Winery Tour in Style’ from Ultimate Helicopters.

A$200 dinner for two at restaurant Baa 3400 is second prize.

The club hopes to raise $5000 and Rotarians will sell tickets at Horsham Plaza for the next couple of months.

The club has reminded artists there is still an opportunity to enter works in this year’s Wimmera Art Fair by registering via website www.hreartfair.com.

Further information is available from Gary Green on 0428 821 213.

Entry to the fair, at Horsham Town Hall from April 13 to 18, is by gold coin donation.

Phoning in on art

The Davidson Brothers

B

udding artists keen to explore a combination of creativity and technology can be part of a Horsham Art is… festival animation project.

Festival organisers have arranged ‘future surface’ animation workshops led by artists Stephen Mushin and Hannah French.

The Art is... festival X Future Surface is a first-of-its-kind digital learning space.

With a climate-change theme, the workshops, for young people 12 and older, will allow participants to ‘animate, create and start to understand the world of augmented reality’.

The workshops ask the question: ‘what will a climate changeaffected Wimmera look like in the future?’

Festival spokeswoman Sarah Natali said animation could open the door of expression through art.

“Our stories are what make us unique. By bringing them to life through animation, we can make personal connections, exchange our cultures and share our narratives,” she said.

“The Art is... festival X Future Surface will showcase individual stories that document, comment on and provide insight into our past, present and future including the real and relevant stories of participants and their visions of the future – the young people of the Wimmera.”

The workshops tap into the potential of EyeJack, an augmented reality smartphone app.

Stephen Mushin is an industrial

Live music at Murtoa COMING TO LIFE: ‘Future surface’ animation combining technology, art and perceptions of climate change will be the subject of Art is… festival workshops. designer and artist focused on tackling climate change and species extinction and Hannah French is a Natimuk artist.

In the two workshops, participants will create their own images and animations, which will become part of an augmented reality tour on the streets of Horsham.

The process is designed to open an opportunity for audiences to experience these artworks on two levels – first as the printed image, and then through free software on their smartphone the image will reveal a new animated and augmented layer.

Ms Natali said the ‘high-energy, design-science and art-animation

workshop’ would help young people create positive future environmental visions.

“Together we will design challenging and thought-provoking animations to be placed around Horsham via augmented reality,” she said.

“Don’t know what augmented reality is? Participants don’t need to know. They can just come join in the fun and find out.”

People can find out more about the workshops or join them by calling Sarah Natali on 0468 387 121.

The 2021 Art is... festival runs from May 28 to June 6.

Award-winning musicians the Davidson Brothers will take over a Murtoa stage at the weekend, signalling the return of live music in the town.

Multi-instrumentalists Hamish and Lachlan Davidson will front crowds at Murtoa Mechanics Hall on Saturday night from 7.30pm.

Hall secretary and concert organiser Andrew Clark said the brothers and their band, who perform a blend of bluegrass and country, were sure to provide a great night of entertainment.

“They’ve played Tamworth and Port Fairy and are always crowd-pleasers.

Like everyone else they’re glad to be breaking out of lockdown and getting back to live shows,” he said.

“This concert is in keeping with the committee’s goal of presenting a program of entertainment over the year.”

Mr Clark said like most musicians, the brothers were looking forward to returning to the stage after a long break

from performing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We had to postpone this band last year, but how good that they’re back?” he said. “And how good is it to see live music back across the whole area? Plenty of artists have done it tough through the lost year of lockdown, and we want local audiences across the Wimmera to come back and support them and local venues.”

The concert will be a seated event and people can bring their own refreshments.

“More good news – the town’s new food van, La Cocina Familia, will be there on site to provide exotic and familiar takeaway.”

Mr Clark asked concertgoers to book online via trybooking.com/BPDHS. Tickets cost $35. He said people would need to bring a face mask to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

People can call Mr Clark on 0459 649 144 for more information.

Outback Wilderness ‘Most off-road capable model ever’

T

he American arm of Subaru has unveiled the long-rumoured and recently teased Outback Wilderness, a vehicle being pegged by the brand as its ‘most off-road capable model ever’.

Marketed as an MY22 model, the Outback Wilderness has been decked out with a series of off-road and adventure specific modifications including a higher ride height, all-terrain tyres, unique bumpers, underbody skid plates and a recalibrated transmission as well as a heap of rugged visual cues.

The major talking point is the increased ground clearance, which has been stepped up from 221mm to a dual-cab ute-rivalling 241mm courtesy of longer shock absorbers and springs, which also results in improved suspension reach.

Helping the Wilderness get a foot-

hold in challenging terrain is a set of Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tyres wrapped around black 17-inch alloy wheels to accommodate a taller sidewall and thereby increase tyre volume for more grip – the standard Outback rolls on 18s.

Complementing the increased ride height are unique front and rear bumpers, which have been specifically designed to help improve the approach and departure angles while the extra ground clearance helps improve the Outback’s rampover angle.

When all is said and done, the approach angle has been increased from 18.6 to 20 degrees, the rampover angle is up from 19.4 degrees to 21.2, while the departure angle is the most improved, up from 21.7 to 23.6 degrees.

To ensure the Wilderness can make the most of its extra ground clearance

and improved angles, engineers have recalibrated the continuously variable transmission, CVT, and altered the rear differential to have a lower final drive ratio of 4.44:1, allowing the Wilderness to climb a gravel incline of up to 40 percent.

The standard X-Mode terrain management system has been tweaked as well, with a new feature exclusive to the Wilderness that allows it to switch automatically from low speed managed driving to speeds over 40kmh without interruption of power or performance.

The Outback Wilderness is motivated exclusively by the turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder ‘boxer’ petrol engine as seen elsewhere in Subaru’s North American portfolio, developing 194kW of power at 5600rpm and 376Nm of torque from a useful 2000rpm.

Symmetrical all-wheel-drive is a given, while the braked towing capacity is a surprisingly low 1588kg – the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre Outbacks offer up 2000kg towing here.

Standard equipment highlights on the Wilderness include a front view monitor, LED rear tailgate light, hands-free tailgate, anodised copperfinish exterior and interior trim accents, water-repellent upholstery, dark headliner, 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlayAndroid Auto, a reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity and tyre pressure monitoring.

Compared with the standard Outback, the Wilderness flaunts a far more aggressive look.

Complementing the off-road-friendly bumpers and chunkier wheel-tyre combination, designers have beefed up and extended the rugged black

body cladding and adorned the Wilderness with a heap of unique badging and black decals, including a matte black bonnet strip designed to reduce glare.

Underneath all the decals and cladding, the Wilderness will also debut a new ‘Geyser Blue’ hero colour.

While only available in the North American market, initially at least, Subaru Australia has confirmed it will be following progress of the Wilderness ‘with interest’ as it continues discussions with the factory to try to secure the turbo powertrain locally.

The Outback Wilderness will be the first member of a whole host of Wilderness-spec variants from Subaru, with the Forester and XV almost guaranteed to get the rugged makeover and build on their own already respectable off-road credentials.

Funky Mazda MX-30 touches down

T

he first versions of Mazda’s all-new MX-30 small SUV have touched down on Australian shores, with the M Hybrid range in showrooms now, priced from $33,990 plus on-road costs for the G20e Evolve.

The three-variant range climbs in price to $36,490 plus on-roads for the mid-spec Touring, and tops out at $40,990 for the flagship Astina variant.

All-electric versions will join the range in the middle of the year, while the line-up is expected to be bolstered next year with the addition of the EV powertrain supplemented by a rotary range-extender.

The MX-30 joins the established CX-3 and CX-30 in Mazda’s compact SUV portfolio, however with an expected sales tally of about 200 units a month, Mazda is not expecting the same sales volume as the aforementioned models, with the MX-30 to represent a more niche offering in the range.

Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi said the MX-30 would appeal to a range of different buyers for varied reasons.

“It offers something unique, funky if you might call it that, and the buyers it will attract are those buyers who will say ‘I want something that’s a little bit different’,” he said.

IN SHOWROOMS: Hybrid versions of Mazda’s MX-30 small SUV have arrived on Australian soil, priced from $33,990 plus on-road costs.

Mazda is targeting young, urban buyers with the MX-30, and expects the entry-level Evolve to prove the most popular variant with about 45 percent of sales, followed by the Touring and Astina.

All M Hybrid versions of the MX-30 are underpinned by the same powertrain – a 2.0-litre SkyActivG aspirated petrol engine supplemented by a 24-volt integrated starter-generator, producing 114kW-200Nm. All versions drive the front wheels only via a six-speed automatic trans-

mission, with official combined fuel consumption pegged at 6.4 litres per 100km.

The all-electric version, due to arrive mid-year, features a 35.5kWh lithiumion battery pack and single electric motor good for 107kW-271Nm and a claimed 224km of driving range.

Design-wise, the MX-30 is unique among Mazda’s portfolio with the return of the ‘freestyle’ rear doors last seen on the RX-8 sportscar, while the Astina’s exterior can also be optioned with a three-tone colour scheme.

Riding on the same new-gen platform as the Mazda3 and CX-30, the MX-30 is underpinned by Macpherson-strut front and torsion-beam rear suspension, with luggage capacity rated at 311 litres.

Standard equipment on the entrylevel Evolve starts with silver 18-inch alloy wheels, auto-folding exterior mirrors, LED headlights, rear spoiler, rain-sensing wipers and advanced keyless push-button start.

Inside, it scores an 8.8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay-

Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and satellite navigation, a 7.0-inch instrument cluster display, eight-speaker audio system, dual-zone climate control with a new touchscreen system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, electric park brake, leather-wrapped gear lever and steering wheel, paddle shifters, and black-grey cloth upholstery.

The MX-30 has been awarded a fivestar ANCAP safety rating, thanks to its extensive standard safety kit.

Stepping up to the Touring grade adds advanced keyless entry, autodimming driver-side exterior mirror, two-position memory function for the side windows, white Maztex-grey cloth seat upholstery, 10-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment and two-position memory, and illuminated front vanity mirrors.

Both the Evolve and Touring can be optioned with a $1500 vision technology package.

The range-topping Astina builds on the spec of the Touring and includes 18-inch bright alloy wheels, heated exterior mirrors, glass sunroof with power tilt and slide, heated front seats and steering wheel, brown Maztexblack cloth upholstery and adaptive LED headlights, with the vision technology pack as standard.

The Astina can also be had with the aforementioned three-tone paint scheme.

Generous ‘power bump’ for Rexton

D

espite the ongoing uncertainty of the brand’s future, SsangYong Australia has launched its updated Rexton large SUV with the seven-seat family hauler being gifted new styling, more power and torque and increased standard equipment, while the base EX trim has been dropped from the range.

MID-LIFE UPDATE: SsangYong has sharpened Rexton styling and power outputs. updated alloy wheel designs on both the ELX and Ultimate, while the interior has scored a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, overhead console and a redesigned gear lever.

Still powered by the familiar 2.2litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, SsangYong has bumped the Rexton’s peak power and torque figures by 15kW and 21Nm respectively, with the mill now churning out a healthier 148kW-441Nm, putting it well and truly on par with its Japanese rivals.

To extract the most out of the up-

dated engine, engineers have paired it with a new eight-speed automatic transmission – still featuring high and low-range – driving all four wheels via a selectable 4x4 system.

Fuel consumption has increased as a result of the extra grunt and new transmission combination, rising from a claimed 8.3 to 8.9 litres per 100km.

The extra shove has made no impact on the Rexton’s already class-leading braked towing capacity of 3500kg, however trailer sway control has been added to its list of standard equip-

ment and safety gear. On the ELX, customers score the aforementioned digital instrument cluster and redesigned gear lever as well as 18-inch alloy wheels, LED head, fog and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multi-device Bluetooth connectivity, TPU leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats with power adjustment, heated rear seats, a leather steering wheel and cruise control.

The Ultimate steps things up considerably with 20-inch alloys, sunroof, powered tailgate, 360-degree camera,

As one would expect, dropping the previous range opener has driven the Rexton’s starting price up significantly from $39,990 driveaway to $47,990, with the now entry-level ELX rising in price by $1000 as part of the facelift. The flagship Ultimate has risen $2000 to now start from $54,990.

The most obvious change to the Rexton is its new aggressive front fascia, with the whole arrangement centred around a completely redesigned grille and front apron.

New LED headlights and tweaked daytime running lights flank the grille in the top corners of the fascia, with plenty of angles and sharp contours filling the rest of the space.

Changes have also been made at the rear with redesigned tail-lights and bumper, which is now largely free of the typical black cladding found on SUVs with a set of integrated chrome exhaust tips poking through.

The rest of the Rexton’s body has been left untouched, except for some

premium leather seats, heated leather steering wheel, wireless phone charging, rear zone air-conditioning, interior mood lighting, front touch sensing door handles and memory function for the driver’s seat and wing mirrors.

Standard safety gear on both variants consists of autonomous emergency braking with forward collision warning, blind spot detection, lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, trailer sway control, driver’s knee airbag, tyre pressure monitoring and parking sensors front and rear, while the range topper also picks up speed-sensitive steering.

The automatic locking rear differential has also been carried over on both variants.

Given it shares its ladder-frame chassis and the vast majority of its running gear with the Musso-Musso XLV pick-up, it should only be a matter of time before an updated version of the workhorse emerges brandishing a similar face and matching power outputs at the very least.

SsangYong has undergone something of a resurgence so far this year ending February, with sales up 98.9 compared with the same period last year, with the Musso-Musso XLV doing the bulk of the heavy lifting.

The Rexton, meanwhile, has had a far more conservative start to the year with just 37 units sold.

Answers: 1. Zooplankton. 2. Walt Disney. He was a cartoonist and developed the character in 1928 and in the early years also provided Mickey’s voice. 3. Victor Borge. He died at 91 after being an entertainer for 75 years. 4. Volcanic eruption. It was the Tambora volcano in Sumbawa, Indonesia. It erupted 50 cubic kilometres of magma, formed a six-kilometre-wide and 1250-deep crater and created floating islands of pumice up to almost five kilometres long. It had an impact on the global climate and killed more than 100,000 people.

5. Sir Tony Robinson. He is 74. 6. Charlegrark. 7. False. It is a marsupial bandicoot. 8. Alesia. It was the capital of the Mandubii tribe. While the battle, recorded in intricate detail by Caesar, represented the ultimate conquest of Gaul, the exact location of Alesia has long been subject to debate but it is likely on Mont Auixois, above the present day village of Alise-Sainte-Reine. 9. ‘G’ for George. When it retired from service in 1944 it had completed more operations than most other aircraft in Royal Air Force Bomber Command. It also had the distinction of bringing home, alive, every one of its crewmen. Most operational Lancasters were shot down before they had reached 20 sorties. It is on display in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

Christian Devotions

Peace In Storms

Life is not smooth sailing - the last year has certainly taught us that. Jesus knew this. It wasn’t smooth sailing for Him and it isn’t for us. Chapter 4 of Mark’s Gospel records Jesus and His disciples sailing across the Sea of Galilee. A storm blew up; the boat was tossed about and almost swamped by the waves. Jesus was asleep in the back of the boat. His disciples were terrified. They woke Him up, accusing Him of not caring that they were in trouble. Jesus spoke, stilling the waves and the wind. The storm was over.

The Psalmist cried out: “All your waves and your billows have gone over me” (Psalm 42:7) calling to God because of the trouble he was in. Storms in our lives take many forms; droughts, floods, coronavirus, illness, grief, death, bankruptcy. They can cause fear, uncertainty, upheaval and loss. Jesus said: “In this world you will have trouble”. The future is unknown. What we do know is that life keeps changing. Jesus finished His statement: “In this world you will have trouble” with the words “But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33.) He did this when God raised Him from the dead. He also gave us His promise that He is with us always (Matthew 28:20) and though storms come and change may be all about us He does not change (Hebrews 13:8.) In the boat with His disciples He stilled the storm and brought them safely to the other side.

He will do the same for us. This is His promise and our assurance.

Tate making his dreams come true

BY DYLAN DE JONG

A

young up-and-coming Wimmera motorcycle rider is making his mark in both motocross and road racing, competing in state and national-level races across Australia.

Mitre’s Tate McClure will have a busy 2021 in both sports, where he is preparing to race in the third round of a road racing competition, the 2021 Oceania Junior Cup, later this month at Wakefield in New South Wales.

He is also on a waiting list for the Penrite ProMX Championships at Wonthaggi this Sunday in a MX3 class.

The young go-getter has made a major return to both sports since COVID-19 restrictions eased late last year.

He competed in a junior Victorian motocross A-Grade competition in late March off the back of racing in Portland a week earlier.

Before the pandemic put an end to all racing opportunities early last year, Tate was moving his way up the ranks in a series of state and

Tate McClure regional-level competitions across Victoria.

Tate said he was competing at his best in 2019 before he climbed his way into an A Grade class in a Victorian Junior Motocross Championship. He had been competing in B Grade for two years before moving into the top rank.

“That was when I was at my peak, that year. I was in B Grade

that year and was winning most of my races,” he said.

He said his commitment to motocross and road racing was part of his dream to turn his passion into a career.

“I got my first bike when I was three – I’ve been living and breathing motocross my whole life,” he said.

“If I’m having a good day on the bike and having fun – I don’t know how to explain it – it’s just the best feeling.

“I’d love for this to be my career.

I’m going to try my absolute best to see where I can take it.”

Tate said during COVID lockdowns his family built a motocross track at home, which allowed him to train throughout the pandemic when most riders were unable to practice.

“I use that track a fair bit to train and whenever I have a moment to spare, I’m on the bike,” he said.

“It takes a lot of practice and you have to do a lot of fitness work to stay on top of your game.”

BETTER DELIVERY: Colts Cricket Club secretary Colin Flack, left, and president Dean Arnott, right, thank Cricket Victoria’s Tony Caccaviello for a grant that paid for new cricket nets.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

New nets for cricketers Cricket fanatics in Horsham have access to better training grounds after contractors installed new nets at Dudley Cornell Park in the city’s north.

An $8000 Cricket Victoria grant enabled Colts Cricket Club to upgrade its nets for the first time in more than 50 years. The club also contributed $10,000 from its budget towards the project.

Club president Dean Arnott said the upgraded cricket grounds would serve the current and next generation of cricket players.

“It’s been a long time coming. It has taken us 55 years to upgrade these wickets,” he said.

“Now we have something that will last us another 50 years.”

Mr Arnott said Cricket Victoria, Horsham contractors and Horsham Rural City Council all helped with project.

“We want to thank KLM Concreting and BuildPro Horsham for helping us out with the actual build of the project,” he said.

“Horsham Rural City Council also helped us with the run-ups. They’ve brought us down some sprinklers to help us with growing the grass.

“Hopefully by the start of next year that grass will have knitted into the sand and it will be a beautiful run up.”

Cougars ready to debut A

BY DEAN LAWSON

ll ears in Horsham District football will be listening for what unfolds at Kaniva on Saturday as a new-look competition finally gets underway.

After months of speculation, former Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara league club Kaniva-Leeor United takes on traditional Horsham district powerhouse Kalkee in a fascinating introductory round.

It remains to be seen just where Kaniva-Leeor United will settle in the competition’s pecking order but a quick look at clearance activity more than suggests the Cougars have been busy.

The Cougars’ incoming list appears impressive but will mean little until players run onto the ground.

Club president Jason ‘Chippa’ Gordon agreed player movements since the announcement of the club’s shift was like a revolving door with many coming and going. But he was more reserved about suggestions the team might have done more than simply plug a few holes in a growing senior list.

“We’ve been doing a lot of running around making sure the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. Hopefully our recruits play and everyone continues to gel.

We’ve lost a lot and gained a few butth are generally pleased with player attendance.

Everyone is very excited about the coming season,” he said.

“We don’t know where we really sit and

we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ll be relieved when we get three sides on the park and nothing else goes majorly wrong. It’s hard enough at the start of any year. But changing leagues and everything that goes with it makes it all that harder.

“We just love our footy and want to see it played in Kaniva as long it can.

We can only hope we can have as good a relationship in Victoria as we had in South Australia.

“We’re very excited as a community and our aim this year is the same as last year – to get girls on the court and boys on the ground.”

take on Pimpinio in a first-up encounter at Balmoral.

Then there is Edenhope-Apsley, out west from similar climes as Kaniva-Leeor United. How have the Saints, the standard bearer for the lakes and wetlands country, fared in the pre-season build-up?

They meet the northern Grampians flagship force Laharum on the large Edenhope ground.

Natimuk United always generates plenty of pre-season chatter and will have a chance to back some of it up against Rupanyup, which while often seemingly on the back foot, tends to pull an occasional rabbit out of the hat.

And with their Wimmera league counterpart Stawell off to a flying start, will Swifts mirror results when travelling to Quantong to take on Noradjuha-Quantong?

Jeparit-Rainbow, on the fringe of the Wimmera and southern Mallee, will also be keen to get off to a flyer. The Storm might take some confidence into a contest against Taylors Lake at Rainbow but could the Lakers come up with an early season surprise?

It will most likely take several weeks of settling before the competition’s movers and shakers become obvious and players settle.

This week: Harrow-Balmoral v Pimpinio at Balmoral, Edenhope-Apsley v Laharum at Edenhope, Kaniva-Leeor United v Kalkee, Natimuk United v Rupanyup, Noradjuha-Quantong v Swifts, Jeparit-Rainbow v Taylors Lake at Rainbow.

CLAAS DRIVE DAYS Potent core

The Cougars meet the traditionally strong Kees in a game that should provide some indication of the strength of the respective teams.

Kalkee has had a potent administrative core and a solid leadership panel under Stuart Farr. The awkward nature of the build-up because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the absence of a 2020 season means there has never been more mystery surrounding club prospects.

Will the status quo remain where clubs that have struggled in the past continue to struggle or will the year-long chance to re-set change the football environment?

There is plenty of expectation surroundst ing reigning premier Harrow-Balmoral being the team to beat – but is it really?

The Southern Roos have one of the largest followings in the competition and

Intriguing season Plenty of intrigue surrounds the make-up of Horsham District Football Netball League teams as players prepare for round one on Saturday.

After 18 months away from playing competitive netball, Horsham District netball director Sharon Fedke said she could not believe the season was almost ‘finally here’.

“We’ve been busy putting everything in place – it feels like we’ve been preparing forever and all of a sudden it’s here,” she said.

Mrs Fedke said league officials had been busy meeting with clubs in the lead-up to the weekend and ensuring they had appropriate support.

A Grade will look a little different in 2021. It will welcome a new club in Kaniva-Leeor United, but Taylors Lake will not field an A Grade side.

“They have permission from the league and it will give the club a helping hand,” Mrs Fedke said.

“Taylors Lake has a lot of great young girls coming through but they were a bit concerned about numbers, as a lot of clubs have been.”

Mrs Fedke said she expected reigning premier Laharum to lead the way in 2021 after re-

taining the majority of its list.

She said her club, Noradjuha-Quantong, was also looking good – particularly with the return of decorated goalie Shannon Couch, from Natimuk United.

“Shannon used to play for Quanny before going to Nati, so she’s coming home,” she said.

“Nati has had a few changes.

I think Kalkee has kept a few girls and will be strong again and I expect Harrow-Balmoral will be too, although I haven’t heard much about them.

“I’ve heard a rumour Jeparit-Rainbow has welcomed back Penny Fisher, who has won league best and fairests in Horsham District and Wimmera leagues They’ve got a lot of young talent who would really benefit from Penny’s experience.

“Of course, a lot of what I’m hearing is still rumour at this stage. I’m really looking forward to seeing some games played and seeing how everything goes.

“I’m hoping for a competitive season because if it is pretty even, it shows the strength of the league.”

Warriors on the board W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera football coaches gearing up for an assault on a 2021 season would have been among spectators more than a little interested in the result of an ice-breaking Good Friday clash in Ararat.

They would have noted in last week’s big game, which represented a return to community football across the region, that Stawell is likely to have a considerable say on what happens this year.

Or does it? There is obviously a mighty bag of questions about the strengths and weaknesses of all teams this season.

In brilliant sunshine and unseasonably hot conditions, watchers would have pencilled in a big question mark about Ararat, which came off second best to the tune of 77 points.

Above all, everyone else at the game, others who listened to the live call on radio station 3WM and fans in general would have celebrated a return of the game after a lengthy hiatus.

The rest of Wimmera league’s opening round will continue next week but for the moment many would be absorbing all that unfolded at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval.

Plenty of people made the most of conditions to venture through the gates and watch the season’s first Battle of the Great Divide.

As the teams blew away considerable cobwebs from their respective armouries, it was soon evident the visiting Warriors

FLYING HIGH: Ararat’s Ethan Summers takes a spectacular high mark during Wimmera football action at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER would be setting the pace. A nine-point lead at quarter time expanded to 29 points at the main break, but it was the second half when the gap between the teams turned into a canyon.

Stawell booted six unanswered goals in the third term to blow out the margin and then scooted home to a big win.

Cody Driscoll was a primary finisher for the winners with seven goals and Jay Moody bagged four, while busy utility Jackson Dark produced a best-on-ground performance further up the ground.

Others such as Sam Williams, Sean Mantell and Tom Walker were also busy.

Ararat had a young line-up, although coach and veteran Matt Walder – providing critical leadership to his group on the ground – would have brought up the average age across the lines.

Riley Taylor, Tom Cousins and Tom Miller won primary accolades for the Rats, who will have a fortnight to dust themselves off before meeting Minyip-Murtoa at Murtoa.

Stawell’s next game will be against Nhill at Stawell. Friday’s contest allowed all involved in Wimmera football a chance to take a deep breath and look towards a future of greater certainty.

Other games went ahead as scheduled with Stawell winning a reserves match and Ararat successful in under-17s and under-14s.

Senior results – Stawell 3.6 6.12 12.18 15.19 (109) Ararat 2.1 3.1 3.1 5.2 (32) GOALS: Stawell, C. Driscoll 7, J. Moody 4, C. Nield 2, C. Kimber, T. Eckel; Ararat, F. Jamieson 2, C. Taylor, N. Oliver, T. Mills.

BEST: Stawell, J. Dark, C. Driscoll, S. Williams, T. Walker, S. Mantell, J. Barber; Ararat, R. Taylor, T. Cousins, T. Mills, L. Spalding, B. Cosgriff, B. Griffin.

Stawell draws first blood Stawell has hit the court running in Wimmera league netball competition, scoring a 10goal win over arch rival Ararat in a Good Friday season opener in Ararat.

The Warriors established a winning break midway through the contest, expanding a threegoal quarter-time lead to six at the main break.

It was a lead that proved telling as the contest, played in unseasonably warm weather, intensified in the second half.

Stawell maintained the advantage, dropping 27 second-half goals to Ararat’s 23.

Stawell’s first line-up on the court in more than 12 months included shooters Zanaiya

Bergen and Ebony Summers, mid-court players Madi Taylor and Jemma Clarkson, and a defensive group of Courtney McIlvride, Lisa Fleming and Rachel Wood.

Ararat had Jesse Bligh and Jessica Taylor sharing centre and wing-attack duties, Tayla Borrelli and Delaney McLoughlan attacking under the goals and Monique and Racquel Scott and Rebecca Skrabl in defence.

In other Good Friday results, Ararat prevailed in B Grade by three goals, Stawell won C Grade by 21 and 40 in 17 and under. Ararat won 15 and under 40-15 and Stawell scored a 36-7 win in 13 and under.

An autumn treat

P

unters and patrons made the most of a warm and still autumn Easter weekend to attend Wimmera cup meetings at Stawell and Warracknabeal.

Both events attracted enthusiastic crowds as the region hummed to a return of major sport and community activities.

Stawell’s Stuart McGregor Stawell Gold Cup, which runs parallel to the Stawell Gift carnival, iced the cake for a big weekend of thoroughbred racing on Sunday.

Symon Wilde-trained Hard ’n’ Tough, with Wimmera jockey Dean Yendall in the saddle, won the 2000-metre feature event at Stawell, pocketing a $38,000 first prize of the $70,000 purse for connections.

Hard ’n’ Tough, $5.50, won by 1.5 lengths from Barry The Baptist with The Regiment third.

The action followed Warracknabeal Cup racing on Saturday, where trainers Ciaron Maher and David Eustace enjoyed success with six-year-old Reserve Street in the 1600-metre main event.

The gelding, with jockey Harry Coffey on board and starting at $6, won the Emmett’s-John Deere Warracknabeal Cup by 1.25 lengths from pre-race favourite Indispensable, trained by Paul Preusker, and the Dane Smith-trained Man from Uncle.

The Warracknabeal Cup, usually part of Warracknabeal district Y-Fest activities, carried $45,000 prizemoney overall with $24,750 for the winner.

PAIRS WINNERS: Above left, from left, Shirley Schorback and Sue Kealy are Horsham Coughlin Park Bowls Club ladies pairs champions for 2021. Above right, Ray Anderson and Vince Antonucci took out the men’s pairs championship title. Runners-up in the women’s competition were Gwen Antonucci and Fay Anderson, while Craig Decker and Ian Ryan were runners-up in the men’s division.

Walsgott sisters in state team Horsham triathletes Ella and Sienna Walsgott have won selection in a School Sport Victoria 13-19 years 2021 state team.

The sisters were scheduled to represent Team Victoria at 2020 Australian Schools Triathlon Championships in Hervey Bay in March last year. But four days before they were due to leave, the COVID-19 pandemic forced officials to postpone the event.

Katie Walsgott said the sisters were happy with their selection, although School Sport Australia had decided there would be no national competition this year.

“School Sport Victoria felt that the students still deserved to trial and gain state selection,” she said.

“This is the same in every sport. SSV has yet to decide what form of competition might be viable and we’re working on some options.”

Winners crowned in gift return E

dward Ware and Hayley Orman became part of national sporting history on Monday when they won the richest professional foot races on offer in the country.

Melbourne’s Ware, 32, won the Stawell Gift and Orman from Adelaide the Women’s Gift in a dramatic final day of action at Stawell’s Central Park.

Both pocketed $40,000 in prizemoney for their efforts.

Ware, running in green, won the gift in 12.188 seconds and Orman, in pink, won in 13.876. Both ran off 9.75-metre handicaps.

Ware went into the final of the Powercor Stawell Gift as one of the favourites, having recorded the second fastest time in heats on Saturday.

He won from Sebastian Baird from Adelaide, who in running off eight metres, recorded 12.188. Third place went to Munashe Hove in a time of 12.317 despite being moved back a metre to four metres due to a false start.

Orman clinched the Change Our Game Women’s Gift crown from first-

time runner Cassandra Wang Lecouteur and third place went to 2019 runner-up Sophia Fighera.

A delighted Ware said after his win that after previous attempts ‘everything has come together this year’.

“It’s not getting any easier and I knew that there was probably only one more crack left. I’m just so happy it happened to be this year,” he said.

Ware went on to claim the 200m Stawell Athletic Club Jack Donaldson Handicap an hour after his 120-metre gift win, a double only previously achieved by Bill Howard in 1967.

“I think I just came in this year with not as much expectation. Normally I get the jitters, I get the nerves, I get the shakes lining up on the blocks, but as weird as it was, it was just another run for me,” he said.

“Obviously the jubilation and everything else set in afterwards. But I think just trying to treat it as any other race definitely helped.”

‘Living the dream’

Orman said shortly after her win that she was still pinching herself.

“I’m just living the dream right now.

CELEBRATION: Suz Sinclair wins the 400-metre Lorraine Donnan Women’s Handicap on Monday.

I’m a bit lost for words to be honest.

I just knew that if I stayed cool and executed my race plan I knew it was going to happen. I just believed in myself,” she said.

“For me it was something that was always a dream. I never thought that it would be a reality. I didn’t think I was that good but I’ve been in the odds

today and I’m so proud of myself. I never thought it would be something I would be able to achieve.”

Carnival atmosphere

Thousands of people flocked to Central Park for the three-day carnival after the COVID-19 pandemic forced officials to cancel the event last year.

The carnival featured running events

over a variety of distances and anticipation on Monday followed backmarker Stewart McSweyn in a new AIA Vitality Invitation 3200 metres.

But stablemate Thomas Thorpe sneaked away off a 200-metre handicap to secure victory.

McSweyn, off scratch, managed to finish in fourth place but his time of 8.19 minutes was the fastest recorded on grass, confirming his reputation as one of the best distance runners in the world.

The gift’s 2019 champion Dhruv Rodrigues Chico narrowly missed making the final but won a 120-metre Furphy Chris Perry Memorial Backmarkers Handicap.

The backmarker won in 12.354 seconds, holding off frontmarker and Australia’s number-one 100m female athlete Hana Basic, 12.431.

In other results from Monday, Jerome Lugo backed up his Arthur Postle 70-metre win with success in a Bill Howard 100 metres and a 300-metre Masters Handicap went to Mark Glassborow.

Excitement surrounding state volleyball showdown It has been more than 600 days since the black and purple uniform of Phantoms Volleyball Club has been seen in Victorian Volleyball League, so the excitement is understandable for all members as they prepare for round one on Saturday.

The club has undergone a huge revamp, with only six teams competing in 2021, down from nine in 2019, which has made it easier for club volunteers to administer.

“With nine teams it was a massive undertaking by the club to ensure as many players got the opportunity to play. But now with just the six teams, everyone who wants to play will get the opportunity, and we won’t have those lower level teams with players who probably weren’t quite up to the standard,” club secretary Damon Minotti said.

Participation from Volleyball Horsham members has also dropped off, resulting in only nine members pulling on the black and purple uniform.

Volleyball Horsham’s Tim Popple said it was a reflection of where the club was at with junior development, with a gap between 14 and 15-yearolds and older teenagers, and older players who had moved on.

“In saying that though of our nine, eight of them will be playing in the new look Premier competition, which is full credit to the hard work and passion those players have for the game,” he said.

The Premier competition consists exclusively of the top eight clubs in Victoria, of which Phantoms is one, with each club fielding men’s and women’s teams in Premier One and Two divisions.

This change has come after a thorough review of the league over the past three years.

Jack Hannan, Cam Robinson and Matthew and Nathan Berry will all line up in the Premier One men’s team on Saturday when the club welcomes Melbourne Uni Renegades to Ballarat Minerdome.

Kara Johnson and Tamikah Dockrill will line up for the Premier One women’s team, while Emily Hannan will play in the Premier Two women’s team.

Tyler Puls will make his debut on the Premier Two men’s team, with Rebecca Allan named in the Reserves One women’s team.

In the Premier One men’s game Phantoms will go in as underdogs against a Renegades team that defeated them in straight sets at last month’s www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Warrnambool tournament. Captain Matthew Berry said the team had studied vision of that game and learnt enough to be able to turn the tables on Renegades come Saturday.

“Our serve-receive was our strong point from that game, and it will be up to Nathan and I to ensure we turn that aspect of our game into smart choices on where we distribute the ball for our hitters,” he said.

Now the most senior member of her team, key setter Kara Johnson is under no illusions as to the challenge ahead of her young side in the Premier One women’s match.

“Renegades got us at Warrnambool as well, but we weren’t disgraced against an opposition that will figure deep into the business end of the season,” Johnson said.

“We’ll go into the game wanting to

give it our best shot, and that is all you can ask of a young team.”

Games start at 10am with Reserves One men and Reserves Two women, followed at noon by the Premier Two men and women.

Premier One women play on centre court at 2pm, with Premier One men to follow at 4pm.

Admission is free.

Volleyball Horsham Hall of Fame Legend David Abud will be riding to the Minerdome on Saturday, arriving about 1.30pm on his fundraising ride for Alzheimer’s research.

A scorers clinic involving representatives from all teams will be in Horsham Cycling Club rooms from 7pm to 8.30pm on Wednesday next week.
