IN HIGH SPIRITS: Horsham events precinct Maydale Reserve became the centrepiece for a music, art and culture jamboree on Saturday night. Despite the thermometer dropping close to zero, more than 250 Wimmera people came together for the Art is… festival Winter Warmer Bonfire event. The sun setting created the perfect backdrop for artist Esther Konings-Oakes to start her fire-lighting ceremony for the bonfire. Story, page 4.

Farm re-energised P

lans to build the Wimmera’s first commercial-scale solar farm will likely come to fruition next year, ending a five-year delay to the project due to transmission network shortcomings.

Officials from leading Australian solar-farm developer ESCO Pacific were confident recent improvements to the grid-connection process in the region meant the company could proceed with its $200-million Horsham Solar Farm project in the next 12 months.

Planned upgrades to western Victoria’s transmission network have

also given the company confidence to look into further investment in largescale renewable-energy projects in the Wimmera.

ESCO Pacific’s solar-farm project, set to be built four kilometres east of Horsham next to an electrical terminal substation, would generate enough electricity to power 40,000 Australian homes.

Leaders expect the project will generate at least 150 jobs during its construction phase and about 12 permanent roles through the operational phase.

The farm is financed to have a 40year lifespan and to be adaptable to

confidence to revisit its Horsham project.

“In 12 months’ time we’ll be hoping to be free and clear of grid constraints and see a clearer path toward a construction phase,” he said.

“We have a chance to proceed now the initial north-west Murray region problem of oscillation on the network created by five key projects has been addressed.”

The company was set to start a seven to eight-month construction phase of the project in the second half of 2018.

But Mr Rademaker said despite the company’s project being ‘shovel

changes in renewable-energy and storage technology.

The company’s plans, approved by Horsham Rural City Council in late 2017, were delayed due to output cutbacks and connection delays on western Victoria’s 220Kv transmission system.

Five renewable projects in northwest Murray and south-west New South Wales regions faced major setbacks for several years due to the issue.

ESCO Pacific managing director Steven Rademaker said now that developers were moving past the congestion issues, the company had more

ready’ and receiving the green light from planning authorities, the grid issues stalled the project for another three years.

“We identified the site in late 2016 and pursued the project from that point on,” he said.

“The planning process was really smooth and there was great community support for it.

“We’ve been working on the grid issues ever since, which gives you an indication of the complexity of trying to secure a connection in the northwest Victorian network.”

A fresh spark for Wade’s One of the Wimmera’s most trusted firms has added electrical work to a blossoming portfolio of services.

Home heating and cooling specialists Wade’s in Horsham have now developed a Wade’s Electrical arm with the acquisition of former Horsham Electrical Contractors.

The specialist team is primarily made up of four qualified A Grade electricians and three apprentices but business growth means the group is expanding.

Wade’s are constantly on the lookout for qualified electricians to expand their team.

The upshot is that Wade’s Electrical, as part of the broader Wade’s service footprint, now offers through its qualified team a broad range of electrical work and services.

Service areas include but are far from limited to commercial applications, new homes, solar installations and general electrical maintenance works, new homes, solar installations and commercial applications.

Critically, the Wades’ long-established reputation of providing great customer service is ingrained in Wade’s Electrical.

Leading the team is operations manager Shane Souter who has a dedicated approach to customer satisfaction and a desire to help customers with any inquiries and respond to feedback.

“We’re providing services

FROM POWERPOINTS TO SOLAR: Shane Souter and Adrian Wade check out the new electrical range at Wade’s.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER throughout the Wimmera and beyond.

“Part of this is having an advanced booking schedule involving precise dates and times. This is to guarantee that our customers are not left wondering when we will be attending,” he said.

Mr Souter also provided an outline of staff members providing Wade’s Electrical’s high-quality services.

“We have Mitch Seipolt, an A Grade electrician who leads our solar installations and has a vast range of knowledge in this area.

Importantly, he is determined to help customers get the best from their solar systems,” he said.

“Then we have Josh Dodgshun, another A Grade electrician who is Commercial site team leader with extensive experience and knowledge.

“Josh more than knows his way around commercial sites and generates that high degree of confidence expected from our customers.”

Mr Souter said Jayden Rook and Matt Magee were other A Grade electricians specialising in specific areas.

“Jayden is master of new-home installs. He is known around the area as one of the best at what he

s ’ e d a W or f s New Busines

does. “He liaises with builders and homeowners to achieve the highest possible outcomes,” he said.

“Matt has just recently joined the Wade’s electrical team and we look forward to him sharing his skill and expertise across all areas as we prepare to expand.”

Mr Souter said apprentices were also an important part of Wade’s Electrical development with second-year apprentice Mitch Jorgensen and apprentices Will Barber and Cam Butler integral to the team.

“Wade’s Electrical expects to see great things from Mitch as he gains further experience and Will has the drive everyone loves to see in an apprentice and also has great communication skills,” he said.

“Cam is one of those young blokes that only come along every now and again that have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

“Of course, we also have Stacey Rasmussen running the administration ship. She is the friendly voice behind the phone and counter who readily provides assistance with inquiries and account payments.”

In summary, what this means is that anyone needing reliable, professional and timely help with their electrical needs can rely on Wade’s – your electrical specialists.

Solar farm re-energised

GREENFIELD SITE: Stage one of Mount Zero Resort involves construction of 40 ‘luxury accommodation villas’, a function centre, spa and wellness facility, restaurant and café, car-parking and landscaping. A long-term staged concept involves a range of up to 110 short-stay accommodation units.

Investment from resort plans A

BY DEAN LAWSON

boutique holiday resort planned for the northern Grampians has the potential to generate $43.6-million in economic benefits in a construction phase alone.

Projections for Mount Zero Resort also point to a $15-million stage one of the project generating $26-million for the regional economy annually.

Estimations are the project, near popular Flat Rock and Mount Zero picnic areas and designed to capitalise on the northern end of Grampians Peaks Trail, will also generate 108 direct and indirect jobs during construction and 101 as part of annual operations.

Australian Wildflowers operates a nearby farm at Laharum and is behind the project, which as part of stage one, involves construction of 40 ‘luxury accommodation villas’.

First-stage planning also involves a function centre, spa and wellness facility, restaurant and café, car-parking and landscaping.

A long-term staged concept involves a range of up to 110 shortstay accommodation units.

The development will be on Australian Wildflowers property abutting the Grampians Peaks Trail head and Grampians National Park at Mount Zero.

Wednesday, July 7, 2021

Australian Wildflowers owner and managing director Jo Gardner confirmed a planning permit was with Horsham Rural City Council and out for public comment.

She said project development had involved extensive consultation with municipal, parkland and firefighting agencies as well as independent consultants.

“We’ve done nearly two and a half years of ground work and expect further requests from agencies to capture as much information as they require,” she said.

Ms Gardner said first-stage development initially had a $5-million price tag but had risen to $15-million based on a decision to ‘lift the quality of the build’.

“We decided to refine the plans and push to higher-end development,” she said.

“We want to start building next year for the resort to be open as soon as possible to capture significant interest in the peaks trail and also the recovering response from a COVID-weary population – who will no doubt be very keen to get out and about and try new experiences.”

Ms Gardner said assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to building an adaptive process into operational models.

“We had to shelve it there for a

while with COVID-19, but identified a need to be positive,” she said.

“You could see when we’re not in lockdown that the recovery is really strong.

“When we were shut down we could see the potential of recovery and enthusiasm we’ve had from people has kept us all motivated.

“We hope to create something that people, not from just outside the region but inside as well, want to use.”

Mount Zero Resort will be the first accommodation centre of its kind to tap into the northwest potential of Grampians National Park.

“It’s also one of the first greenfield developments of this type post the Black Saturday fires and we’ve been very cautious in working on what’s appropriate,” Ms Gardner said.

“There is nothing that really ser-

vices the market at this end of the Grampians.

“The Royal Mail Hotel is a quality product at Dunkeld, empowering a whole community to have a crack at developing a destination.

“We’re keen to provide a bookend to that.”

Plans are for Australian Wildflowers to hand resort operations to eco-tourism specialists and Ms Gardner said a consultant had been working with prospects.

“In the end, we’re flower growers.

We’re happy to back the concept financially and give it some legs, but need to get an operator on board,” she said.

Ms Gardner said Australian Wildflowers had collaborated with the Horsham council in developing a project prospectus.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness described the development as ‘exciting for the region’.

“It’s great to see an entrepreneur come along and make something from scratch,” he said.

“Not only is the resort a greenfields tourism development, but the area is to some extent too.

“It will create other opportunities for sundry businesses in the area.”

From page 1 Fresh hope arose for the company late last week when Australian energy company AusNet revealed its updated plans for a proposed $300-million transmission line from Ballarat to Bulgana, near Stawell.

AusNet unveiled a single corridor for the proposed Western Victoria Transmission Network Project and declared the project positioned western Victoria closer to becoming the state’s renewable-energy hub.

Mr Rademaker said AusNet’s plans represented an opportunity for ESCO Pacific to look at other renewable investment opportunities in the region beyond its Horsham Solar Project.

“The new works coming out of Ballarat that increase the line of capacity to 500kv will assist us greatly in combating constraint and curtailment in the grid,” he said.

“We are keen on the area. We think it has great renewable resources for both wind and solar and we’d love to tap into that further.”

Mr Rademaker said upgrades to Victoria’s transmission network would unlock millions of dollars from many developers who were ready to build wind or solar projects in the Wimmera.

“Renewable generation including battery storage has a bright future, provided the network can handle and support it,” he said.

“With that will come significant investment and jobs, both during construction phases and in the longer time.

“We see coal as a dinosaur, it won’t be around forever. Renewables are the key part of a transition to a low-carbon electricity mix and we see ourselves as an integral part of that transition as one of Victoria’s leading developers.”

Vaccine update Wimmera Health Care Group has put a hold on new bookings for Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations because of a lack of supply.

Vaccine roll-out co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley said the health service’s vaccination clinic would still vaccinate people who had received their first dose of Pfizer and were awaiting their second dose.

“We will also do our utmost to honour those who have already made a booking for a Pfizer vaccination,” she said.

“We regret any inconvenience this might cause and we ask the community to be patient and keep doing the important things to keep yourselves safe – wash your hands regularly, wear a mask in public places and maintain social distancing.”

The clinic is still taking bookings for people aged 60 and older seeking the AstraZeneca vaccine.

People younger than 60 who would like to receive the AstraZeneca version can do so through their GP.

Basking in bonfire beauty Hundreds of creatives and kindred spirits in the Wimmera converged on Maydale Reserve at the weekend in a ceremonial celebration of arts and culture.

The Art is… Winter Warmer Bonfire event started Saturday afternoon with community singalongs, a dance workshop and a ceremonial lighting of a bonfire.

Organisers threw large spheres on the fire to symbolise the burning of coronavirus.

The event then flowed into late hours of the night with the sound of bluegrass and gypsy-rock bands filling Maydale Pavilion.

Festival organiser Sarah Natali said despite wet weather threatening the night and uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, the arts committee forged ahead with its plans for what turned into a ‘great event’.

“We estimate there were between 250 and 300 people across the night,” she said.

“It’s such a brilliant space and it would be really nice to have it as a focus of a festival again.”

Ms Natali said a strong partnership with Horsham Agricultural Society and a Creative Victoria grant made the event possible.

“It took 10 of us about four days to put this together and it was made possible because of a Creative Victoria strategic investment fund that allowed us to re-plan around wet weather,” she said.

Ms Natali said plans were to continue strengthening the festival’s partnerships in the community, looking ahead to 2022.

“We’re hoping to do something bigger and more ceremonial next year,” she said.

“Andrea Cross from the ag so-

ciety and I have been communicating and we’re excited to start planning.”

Art is… continuing with more events across winter, with several exhibitions.

Warracknabeal photographer Ben Fowler will officially open his ‘Microworlds of the Mallee’ exhibition at Jubilee Hall in Horsham on July 20.

The art committee will announce winners of an Art Is Bald prize following the exhibition opening.

Wimmera artist and animator Hannah French will launch her Future Surface project on July 21 at Horsham Town Hall. The project invites Wimmera youth to learn about animation while considering how to mitigate and adapt to the threat of climate change.

Merger could cost region ‘millions’

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

A

Wimmera development leader is concerned a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group and its Ballarat counterpart could cost the Wimmera-southern Mallee up to $13.6-million a year.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness has revealed details of a consultant’s report estimating the Wimmera health service’s expenditure and direct and indirect economic contribution.

He said the consultant used publicly available information, such as annual reports and industry benchmarks, to better inform the association about the health service’s contribution to the region.

In August last year, Wimmera Health Care Group leaders announced they were exploring partnership options with Ballarat Health Services, later raising a ‘possible voluntary amalgamation’.

The controversial proposal has been met with fierce opposition from many in the community, sparking a petition, letters to the editor, political backlash and, according to Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline, ‘considerable public discontent’.

Long-time Horsham surgeon Ian Campbell OAM, a retired director of surgery and former board member and chair, said the merger would fall well

short of resolving issues, calling it a ‘backwards step’.

But current board chair Marie Aitken has stressed any partnership options would focus on ‘enhancing and expanding services’, ‘increasing local access to health care for the people of the Wimmera’.

She said community consultation from more than 1000 individuals showed ‘overwhelming support’ for Wimmera and Ballarat health services ‘working together in partnership’.

Stawell Regional Health and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital leaders have also expressed interest in being involved in partnership developments.

Mr Sounness said although he would not provide personal opinion on the proposal, any time a major employer considered centralising or exiting services was of major concern.

“Whenever mergers have occurred across the Wimmera-southern Mallee in the past, service choices have been centralised,” he said.

“While an office might stay in the region, key staff tend to move to the larger centres, resulting in less career opportunities for families and less people in the community.

“With this merger proposal, people are interested in whether Wimmera Health Care Group services will be moved or not, if they will be centralised and where.”

Mr Sounness said Wimmera Health Care Group was Horsham municipality’s largest employer, with its allied, acute, sub-acute, primary and residential aged-care services providing a direct annual contribution of $120-million.

He said its indirect annual contribution – ranging from manufacturing and construction to retail, accommodation and food services – was $66-million, equalling a total annual contribution of $186-million.

“With the public information available we looked at what the health service spends,” he said.

“We think the hospital spends about $9.5-million on ancillary services, which are the ones that are most easily centralised, such as laundry, meals, payroll – all the services that can be run from anywhere.

“To our best estimate, there are well over 100 ancillary jobs based here in the Wimmera-southern Mallee.

“We’re not saying all those jobs would be centralised, but whenever a health service is looking at a merger, it’s looking at how to create efficiencies and get the best possible outcomes for patients, such as where savings can be made.

“Those savings in general are often made through ancillary-type job roles. We think there’s well over 100 ancillary workers in our region and a number of them could be centralised.

“This is very important for the Wimmera economy, because ancillary roles contribute both directly and indirectly, more than $13-million in economic activity at the moment.”

Mr Sounness said although Wimmera Health Care Group had shown no indication it was looking to lose or lessen services, there was an obvious piece of the puzzle missing.

“There is no indication they’re taking a regional development focus,” he said.

“Large employers need to realise they are community leaders and need to take a community focus in their decision.

“We’ve seen it time and time again.

What on the surface seems like a great idea results in rural communities being let down with services being centralised and merged.

“The smaller centre has maybe been able to keep its core activity, but all the other services that hang off that core disappear, which has a huge impact on the community.

“It means things like less families wanting childcare – so where a childcare service was once viable it’s no longer viable. It means schools where there was once an abundance of kids are on edge numbers-wise.

“This isn’t just about Horsham – Wimmera health services’ people live all throughout the region. We’re all very closely interlinked.

“We just want the board to use a community leadership lens when they are making decisions and evaluate both the service level we offer to Wimmera patients – which we want as good as is offered anywhere else – and the impact on communities, which we don’t think has been discussed at all and certainly hasn’t been emphasised.”

Face value

Mr Sounness said he was working on the assumption the board had the best information available and wanted the best outcome.

“My concern is, I’m not sure how they are making their decision and what they’re using as a driver,” he said.

“We know with emergency and acute services, timeliness is everything. Whenever it seems like services are being moved away, there’s real concern if the regions will still have the ability to deliver them.

“From everything the board has said, yes, the region will. We have to take them on face value, that they feel they can deliver a better service.

“But we don’t know how they have come to that conclusion and if they have considered the consequences for the region and how it can have far more devastating consequences long term.”

College recognition for Hawkins family Longerenong College at Dooen north of Horsham has recognised a long association between agricultural tertiary education and the west Wimmera’s Hawkins family.

The college has dedicated Hawkins Family Courtyard to the family, reflecting on three generations of the Hawkins family’s commitment to Victorian agricultural colleges.

The unique association, featuring 18 family graduates across 80 years, has involved Longerenong, Dookie, Glenormiston and Marcus Oldham colleges.

Family members attended a plaque-unveiling ceremony at Longerenong College yesterday.

Former west Wimmera councillor Ron Hawkins, who attended the college in 1954 and 1956, said the family thanked the college for the dedication.

“It’s a long involvement and a big day for the family,” he said.

“There are 18 family graduates of which 16 are still with us.”

Other Hawkins family members to study at the agricultural colleges have been Alwyn, 1941-43; Mac, 1942-44; Graeme, 1959-62; Wayne, 1972-73; John, 1976-77; Rowan, 1979-80; Peter, 1981-82; Andrew, 1986-88; Nick, 1988-89; Tim, 1990-91; Matthew, 1991-92; Barb, 1995-96; Laura, 2006-10; Tara, 2006-09; Kirsty, 2009-11; Gavin, 2011-12; and James, 2016-17.

FAMILY CONNECTION: The Hawkins family unveils a plaque for the Hawkins Family Courtyard at Longerenong College. The family has been a supporter of and participant in Victorian agricultural education for more than 80 years. Ron, left, and Mac Hawkins and their wives Pauline and Joyce were on hand for the unveiling.

We need people to shrink electorates O

ne person, one vote! It is what democracy in Australia is all about, right? Right!

Okay, that being the case, do we care what this means for and how it reflects on governance across the state – especially when most of the people in Victoria huddle in a 150-kilometre ring around Port Phillip Bay? Victoria’s Electoral Boundaries Commission’s proposed electoral boundaries, based on each vote having equal value, continues to be glaring in just how disproportionate the spread of people is across Victoria.

Sure enough, similar to its Federal electoral counterpart Mallee, Lowan has continued to expand and will now geographically grow beyond its 39,182 square kilometres, almost the size of Denmark and larger than Holland or Belgium.

This would be understandable in one of our more expansive states such as Western Australia, New South Wales or Queensland where overwhelming tyrannies of distance are part of everyday life.

But we’re talking about temperate and relatively small Victoria where you can easily travel from one state to the other in half a day.

It continues to mean that in the 88 elec-

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson toral districts of Victoria only one lowerhouse parliamentary representative, in this case Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, has the responsibility of advocating for people living geographically across almost a quarter of the state.

The boundaries reflect the number of Victorian voters and where they live. They also continue to reflect on how we’ve evolved into and maintain a heavily urbanised society.

A good or a bad thing? It depends on perspective, but the circumstance seems to certainly fall well short of capitalising on the state’s potential for widespread growth and spreading an infrastructure, development and housing load.

Of course, it will also always fuel philosophies that promote decentralisation.

If we believe what we’re hearing, COVID-19 lockdowns and a realisation that location is no longer a prerequisite for many workplaces, is stimulating a growing

social interest in moving away from ‘the big smoke’.

Rural and regional growth is on the lips of many national, state, regional and industry leaders and commentators. But is it all really true and on what are their reports reflecting?

Is there really an honest shift to the regions or is it more about people moving to an outer suburb or provincial city that is only a short trip down the highway?

We know at least that people, some of them from beyond our regional cities, towns and districts, are snapping up our real-estate opportunities.

For the moment, an accurate insight into the spread of the state’s voting population are the sizes of electoral districts.

We hope in the near future that figures force the Victorian Electoral Boundaries Commission into contracting instead of expanding the state’s regional districts west of Ballarat.

It’s a big call but if it happens it will mean the regional population drift that has been hammering our communities for the past couple of decades has reversed.

We’ve been saying it for years, but for our region to prosper, we need people.

Victoria’s environmental watchdog has used a dump site at Lillimur in the Wimmera’s far west as an example of Victoria’s remote regional areas becoming an increased target for illegal hazardous-waste dumps.

A dump at Lillimur is under Environmental Protection Authority investigation after it caught fire in May and sent plumes of toxic smoke across the region.

The site is 15 kilometres from the South Australian border, reflecting on authority fears that dumping of hazardous material in remote geographical areas is becoming more common.

Newly appointed Environment Protection Authority Victoria chief executive Lee Miezis said dealing with waste crime was a priority.

He said the authority would strengthen its regional presence as new regulatory powers and systems improved its ability to detect and prevent pollution and also prosecute offenders where pollution occurred or had the potential to occur.

“From July 1, the new Environment Protection Act came into force giving EPA far greater powers, also making it everyone’s responsibility to prevent pollution before it occurs. This is a major step forward for all Victorians,” he said.

EPA has identified regional areas as hotspots for waste crime in Victoria because they were isolated and harder to police.

It has overseen an investigation and clean-up of a large-scale illegal chemical dump at Lemon Springs, south of Kaniva for about two years.

Dump-site warning

Changes to environment protection policy have prompted Ararat municipal leaders to remind residents to carry out health checks to their septictank systems.

Under the State Government’s Environment Protection Act 2021, from July 1 Victorians with an on-site waste management system will need to take ‘reasonable steps’ to maintain wastewater.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said an annual health check on a septic-tank system could prevent environmental issues, save on costly repairs and prolong the life of a system.

He said the council would continue to issue permits for the construction, installation or alteration of an on-site wastewater-management system with a capacity of up to 5000 litres.

“Recent changes to regulation will help our community and businesses extend the life of their septic tanks, including meeting maintenance requirements, keeping maintenance records and notifying council of failures and how it’s being fixed,” he said.

Dr Harrison said there were also plans for the council to order maintenance and enforce requirements where necessary.

“There are more than 1900 properties across greater Ararat without reticulated sewerage that rely on septic-tank systems to dispose of their wastewater,” he said.

Ripon primed for election spotlight V

BY DEAN LAWSON

ictoria’s traditionally swinging seat of Ripon is likely to capture considerable statewide attention when Victorians go to the polls in next year’s state election.

Under proposed changes to Victoria’s electoral boundaries and based on figures from the last election, Ripon is likely to gather about 2.7 percent more Labor than Liberal votes.

Liberal Louise Staley held Ripon by only 15 votes based on previous electoral boundaries after the 2018 election.

New proposed electoral boundaries show Ripon maintaining Ararat but spreading to the east to pick up fringe

areas of Ballarat while losing Stawell, Donald and Charlton.

Lowan electorate, safely held by the Nationals’ Emma Kealy and the largest geographically in the state, inherits Stawell while pushing southeast to include Mortlake district.

Based on last election figures, Lowan’s Labor-voting turnout will increase by 1.9 percent.

Victoria’s Electoral Boundaries Commission, EBC, has released the proposed electoral boundaries for public comment.

A redivision of electoral boundaries for both houses of parliament is designed to ensure that each vote in Victorian elections has an equal value and that each elector is represented

communities. It’s been and continues to be a delight and privilege to get to know them.

“Regardless of what’s happened I will continue to represent the community.”

Ms Kealy, meanwhile, welcomed Stawell and a region southeast of the Grampians to an electorate that made up the bulk of western Victoria.

“I look forward to contesting the next election and fighting for local people to ensure their voice is heard,” she said.

“The Nationals represent local community, which is very much about decentralisation and ensuring local people have appropriate services and support and live in a great place to

equally in the Victorian Parliament.

As part of the final stage of public consultation, people can comment on the proposed boundaries by lodging written submissions before 5pm on July 30. Written submissions can be lodged on website ebc.vic.gov.au.

The EBC will prepare final boundaries, to take effect at the 2022 November State Election, by late October, 2021.

Disappointed

Ms Staley said she was disappointed that she would lose the opportunity to represent Stawell, Donald and Charlton districts.

“I really enjoy being part of those communities,” she said.

“I think they’re fabulous people and

learn and run a business.

“I think the changes for Lowan represent a good fit.”

Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately, one of three members of the independent EBC, said he was pleased with the level of community engagement in an initial consultation period.

He issued a further call for Victorians to have their say.

“In December 2020 the EBC invited submissions from the public and received 58 submissions – five from political parties, 15 from organisations and community groups and 38 from individuals,” Mr Gately said.

Mullet goes to save animals A love of animals has driven Horsham youngster Jack Soderman to shave his hair to raise money for a rescue group.

Jack, 8, with help from his mother and hairdresser Sarah May, raised more than $1100 for Phoenix Animal Rescue Horsham.

Jack said it was hard to say goodbye to the mullet he had been growing for eight months.

But he said he was keen to support the rescue group helping abandoned animals in the region.

“We decided to do it to raise money for the animal rescue group so they can help more animals,” Jack said.

“I feel happy knowing the group can get more animals in and buy more things for them.”

Ms May said her family had worked with the animal rescue group to foster dogs since it started three years ago.

“We usually have one or two rescue dogs all the time,” she said.

“I’m very proud of Jack. He’s passionate about the animals, like me.

“It’s great to see him doing this at such a young

age. He’s very caring.” Phoenix founder Carolyn Stow said fundraising efforts such as Jack’s were key to keeping the group running.

“It will help us with vet costs,” she said.

“We have an animal right now that broke its leg, which costs about $6000.

“We’ve had a few significant injuries that take a real hit on our budget, which reduces the amount of animals we can care for.”

Ms Stow said Jack provided a shining example for other young people in giving back to his community.

“Jack is very passionate about his foster care role in giving dogs a fresh opportunity, finding the right match and ultimately saving their lives,” she said.

“When we have kids with that social awareness of abandoned animals and wanting to be part of giving them a second chance, it’s a really significant thing.”

Adam providing direction

A

dam Roche has taken over responsibilities as the new content director for radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM and is cherishing the opportunity to extend his connection with listeners.

Mr Roche, whose voice on commercial radio has become part of everyday life across almost a quarter of the state, said he felt privileged to be in a driver’s seat for the ‘heritage’ radio stations.

“I’ve been able to inherit a role in an AM station that carries the number-one talk-back program in the country with Neil Mitchell and number-one drive show on FM with Kate, Tim and Joel,” he said.

“On top of that I get to oversee the presentation of fresh musical hits to listeners and keeping them updated with local news, sports and events.

“Radio is also part of much broader multi-media platforms these days that also includes websites and social media, of course we also work handin-hand with The Weekly Advertiser.”

Mr Roche, originally from Melbourne, joined ACE Radio network in Horsham as an announcer and creative writer in 2018, bringing with him extensive experience working in the entertainment and tourism industries.

In stepping into a management role, where he will provide direction for 3WM and MIXX FM content, he said he felt like he had done both an apprenticeship in understanding the region as well as the radio industry.

“Like anyone new, I originally needed time to get an understanding of the regional environment – what

Cup on tour The Melbourne Cup will visit Kaniva on July 15 as part of a Melbourne Cup Tour throughout Victoria.

Kaniva Agricultural and Pastoral Society, in collaboration with Victorian Racing Club, is hosting the visit.

The visit will feature two public events, an afternoon tea at Kaniva Shire Hall from 2pm to 4.30pm and a formal dinner from 6pm at Kaniva Community Hub. Cost of entry to the afternoon event will be an optional gold coin donation to the society. Afternoon tea will cost $15.

The formal dinner, a cocktail and race-attire event, will cost individuals $65.

People keen to register for the events or find out more can call Amanda Munn on 0428 606 294.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER makes it tick based on people, cultures and personalities,” he said.

“I’ve felt very comfortable and strongly feel I can now put something back with this opportunity,” he said.

Mr Roche, 40, represents the type of professional regional development leaders are constantly trying to lure to the Wimmera-Mallee.

With a background as a touring artist with experience in stage, screen and music, he has lived in cities around the world and in his spare time continues to perform as a musician.

“Of course, as a single person closing in on 40 there was a natural hesitation to basically ‘start again’.

But through perseverance and a willingness to delve into somewhere new I have come to develop a close relationship with the place and its people,” he said.

“It shows that opportunities are everywhere and sometimes you have to look outside your comfort zone and take that leap.”

Mr Roche steps into the content-director shoes of Emma Clark, who will concentrate on her role as radio news journalist.

Mr Roche said listeners could continue to expect the radio stations to be a source of high-quality entertainment, music, news and, importantly, ‘light-hearted’ fun.

“We have an obligation to our communities, to support and advocate for our region and, considering at the end of the day that we’re a business, also helping our clients,” he said.

“Our team is keen to take our stations into this next exciting chapter.”

The average price of water bills in the Wimmera will fall more than $10 a year after a decision from Victoria’s essential services regulator.

GWMWater, Wannon Water, Coliban Water and Gippsland Water customers will see average bills fall more than $10, while the biggest regional winners include Central Highlands Water and Goulburn Valley Water customers, with annual average savings of more than $20.

Melbourne bills are set to fall more than $33 a year on average.

Name for centre A new multi-purpose community facility at Stawell’s North Park has a name.

Northern Grampians Shire Council agreed at its latest meeting to name the building, officially opened on May 1, North Park Community Sports Centre.

The name is the result of a council community poll of three suggested place names.

Joy bringing racism to the fore K

BY DYLAN DE JONG

enyan-born woman Joy Juma will draw on experiences from her time living in the Wimmera to guide work on a statewide project aimed at stamping out racism.

Ms Juma is one of 11 people the State Government has selected to be part of an anti-racism taskforce to proactively prevent and address race and faith-based discrimination in Victoria.

Taskforce members will use their professional and lived experiences and consult directly with metropolitan, regional and rural communities to form an anti-racism strategy.

Ms Juma lived in Horsham and worked at Wimmera Health Care Group as a midwife and general nurse for 10 years. She now lives in Ballarat and chairs Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council.

Ms Juma said she was honoured to be part of a project aiming to drive major cultural change across the whole state.

“I think it’s the greatest thing that has happened to Victoria to spearhead this project,” she said.

“We will be trying to stamp out racism and change the mindset of people who would normally be active bystanders, break norms and break habits.

“If people accept others and what they bring to the table we will be a better cohesive society. We will grow and we won’t stagnate.”

Living in country Victoria has been a big part of Ms Juma’s experience in Australia, moving to Horsham with her family in 2004.

While living in the region, Ms Juma volunteered her time with organisations including Wimmera Development Association, helping migrants settle in the region and learn English.

Ms Juma said her experience working in the Wimmera provided insight into what discrimination looked like in regional and rural areas.

“Having lived in Horsham and being a migrant of African origin, I can bring to the taskforce what I experienced as a professional and how my family was accepted and welcomed into the community,” she said.

“Sometimes some people might say something without knowing it could be offensive. Those experiences are things I would like to bring to fore.”

Ms Juma said while her overall experience living in the region was positive, the majority of

discrimination she faced was in her professional life.

“I remember someone saying they would not support me going into a position where I would be in charge because of the colour of my skin,” she said.

“That shocked me because I thought anyone would be supported while applying for that kind of position.

“Work culture can be toxic. You don’t necessarily have to be black, you could just be someone from outside of the country town.”

Ms Juma said she had always felt she needed to push herself harder than others in her professional life to receive acknowledgment for her work.

“I’ve found sometimes people are never interested to hear what your experiences are, and I’ve felt like an underdog for a long time. I’ve always felt like I work at 200 percent at any one time,” she said.

“I know others work at 80 or 90 percent and no one would see that as a problem – but as soon as someone like me works at just 100 percent, that’s not good enough. I came to this country for better opportunities and for a better life and if I’m working, I want people to recognise my experience and what I have to offer and also help me understand their position.”

Ms Juma said driving community cohesion and behavioural change would be key to the survival of regional and rural communities.

“I feel like if we’re not inclusive and cohesive in accepting others experiences and what they bring to us, we’re going to experience an extinction of professionalism and extinction of services, especially in country Victoria,” she said.

Ms Juma said change needed to occur across all sectors including in education, workplaces, sports and media.

“We need to grow the country teams and include everybody. The same thing needs to occur at work because we’re stronger together,” she said.

“Kids especially need that equal opportunity to be involved and play sports such as netball, football, basketball or volleyball and feel like they’re part of a team.”

Opportunities to participate in consultations as part of the anti-racism strategy will be publicly communicated through several channels, including the taskforce’s dedicated webpage, www.vic.gov.au/anti-racism-taskforce.

LIVED EXPERIENCE: Former Wimmera resident Joy Juma will use her experience of living in the region to help form a statewide anti-racism strategy.

Project bringing gamers together C

ombating social isolation through the ‘magic of gaming’ is the aim of a newly launched Wimmera program, Level Up.

Program founder Beau Ladlow is using his passion for gaming to provide a free service for youth to use the latest in gaming technology, including PS5, Xbox Series X, virtual reality and Nintendo Switch.

He has teamed up with the Wimmera’s five municipalities and Uniting Wimmera to run regular gaming events for the region’s youth.

Mr Ladlow said he hoped to reach out to young people who were unable to access the latest gaming gadgets.

“We go out and buy all these incredible consoles and virtual reality, which I expect is beyond the reach of a lot of the people we’re trying to care for,” he said.

“When kids come along and say ‘I haven’t played the new PS5’, you realise then that it means something to them, beyond just being a social fun event.

“You see that by investing in that fantastic gadgetry, you’re dignifying their passion by saying we’re willing to have the best here for you.”

Mr Ladlow remembers his glory years of gaming, playing ‘GoldenEye 007’ on Nintendo 64 and ‘Super Mario All-Stars’ on Super Nintendo Entertainment System, SNES. He said the Level Up program aimed to re-invigorate an older style of gaming he grew up with, when people would physically come together for multi-player experiences.

“Back then we had loads of split-screen multiplayer options, meaning that you could play

them together on the same TV,” he said. “Now we’re taking something that is otherwise inherently isolating, which is the way computer games are going these days, and bringing people together.”

The events spread out to towns across the region including in West Wimmera, Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh, Horsham and Northern Grampians municipalities.

Mr Ladlow said the program had already reached a wide audience across the region in the month it had been running.

“The appeal seems to be universal thus far,” he said.

“I expected a place like Horsham to have a good turnout, but I didn’t expect such a strong turnout in places like Kaniva and Edenhope.”

Mr Ladlow said the program aimed to break social isolation for young people in rural communities with alternative interests, which had compounded during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I grew up on a farm at Kalkee and I see myself in a lot of the kids coming through who are from these rural properties but don’t necessarily find their passion in that country living,” he said.

“I’m not saying more screen time is the way to go, but if they’re going to be playing these games, then let’s bring them together for it.

“Through the magic of technology, we can find ways to connect people with those interests and make the geographical locations a little less relevant.”

Mr Ladlow said he also hoped to expand the program for people aged 25 and older.

He is also planning to launch an Esports program and is working with Wimmera schools to develop lunchtime gaming activities.

Gateway safety upgrades Towns across the Wimmera and southern Mallee are set to become home to new road-safety and road markings.

The State Government has confirmed it will install road markings and ‘striking’ red, green, and white speed-limit signs at town entrances including Great Western, Rainbow and Edenhope as part of a community gateways program.

The move is in response to community feedback since the government started rolling out community gateways in regional Victorian towns such as Halls Gap and Beaufort in 2019.

Part of the government’s $1.4-billion investment into reducing road trauma across the state, gateways now feature at almost 170 towns in regional Victoria. A further 37 towns will get the signs and line marking before the end of the year.

Community gateways are designed to reduce speeds, increase driver attention and boost safety for vulnerable road users, including around main streets and boulevards.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Similar community gateway projects have reduced crashes by 26 to 35 percent in towns in New Zealand.

The gateways project supports Victoria’s Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 which sets ambitious targets to halve road deaths and significantly reduce serious injuries by 2030 and a path to zero road deaths by 2050.

Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the government was continuing to invest in road safety across Western Victoria, with these new community gateways another step towards protecting pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.

“These road-safety measures must be matched by the efforts of motorists on our roads,” she said.

“It is vital all drivers maintain focus and awareness of traffic conditions while travelling through our towns.”

Group to tackle litter

C

ommunity volunteers will take part in monthly roadside clean-ups as part of a Horsham Tidy Towns project to address litter build-up on roads in the municipality.

Committee chair David Eltringham said a decision to take regular action came in the wake of a VicRoads and Regional Roads Victoria roadside management plan.

He said the committee would target regular litter-collection efforts, especially at rest stops, from the first Monday of the month and welcomed other volunteers keen to get involved.

Volunteers will gather in Firebrace Street at the miniature railway car park at 9.30am on the scheduled clean-up days.

Mr Eltringham said the committee was ‘very’ disappointed in the lack of responsibility the government agencies had taken in regard to highway litter.

“This is especially of concern where litter bins have been removed by the highway authorities from rest stops on the approaches to Horsham,” he said.

Mr Eltringham said the committee had written to Regional Roads Victoria expressing concerns such as the Melbourne freeway network and roadside rest-stop rubbish-bin removal.

“The Westgate Freeway, West-

ern Ring Road, Deer Park Bypass and Western Freeway in particular have considerable build-up of litter and rubbish in their emergency lanes and, indeed, the outer highway easement,” he said.

“The resulting message is that VicRoads and RRV do not care about the roadside environment, contrary to the ideals of Keep Victoria Beautiful and various state legislations.

“The action of RRV in removing rubbish receptacles from roadside rest stops, particularly on the approaches to Horsham, is most disappointing. The condition of wayside rest stops, where bins have been removed, are now subject to litter build-up.

“We have been advised the reason for removal was financial.

“Considering the significant spending by State Government and our road authorities on new infrastructure, we contend that any costs to undertake regular litter-rubbish-clearance programs on the existing network, is minimalist in comparison.

“Such litter-control programs need to be budgeted for.”

Warm welcome for new citizens Nine Northern Grampians Shire residents took the Australian citizenship pledge at ceremonies in Stawell and St Arnaud.

Mayor Murray Emerson congratulated the residents on making the pledge and said it was a ‘great honour’ to host the ceremonies.

“Making the pledge is the final step in you becoming an Australian citizen and I congratulate you on your decision, a decision welcomed not only by me, but by all Australians,” he said.

Six residents confirmed their citizenship in Stawell, Divya Anthimoolam and Praveen Lasly, from India; Maridel Oates, the Philippines; Bashir Kariye, Ethiopia; and Chalita Leethong and Kitipop ‘Tony’ PhewMau, Thailand.

Ms Leethong and Mr PhewMau are well known to the council as staff members and to the community as owners of a Thai restaurant in Stawell.

Rossitza Day, Bulgaria, and Mary Sierra and her son Gio Sierra, the Philippines, took the pledge at St Arnaud.

Cr Emerson presented each of the new citizens with a commemorative certificate and a bag of regionally sourced gifts.

He reminded the new citizens they would now enjoy privileges and responsibilities such as the right to vote at Australian elections and to hold an Australian passport.

“Your Australian citizenship is a symbol of your commitment to Australia and your formal membership of the Australian community,”

SLOW BOUNCE BACK: Ararat Live musical director David Nicholson says COVID-19 lockdowns are leaving lasting effects on the entertainment industry.

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG

Slow road out for event organisers

W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera entertainment industry leaders are calling on the State Government to provide greater support for the events sector after snap COVID-19 lockdowns.

Horsham Town Hall and Ararat Live leaders were among hundreds of organisers in Victoria frantically rescheduling events following a sevenday snap lockdown last month.

Despite restrictions easing, Wimmera industry leaders say the impacts of a snap lockdown affected the entertainment sector for weeks, or even months, after.

David Nicholson, who runs the Ararat group, said the uncertainty of how long restrictions lasted following harsher lockdown periods was making it hard for the not-for-profit to support Wimmera bands.

“We’d like to incorporate more local bands as support acts in our events calendar, however, we don’t know how many people are coming to gigs at this stage,” he said.

“Until we know people are comfortable coming out to shows again and we guarantee crowd numbers, then we can’t afford to pay the main act and the supports as well.

“We don’t expect bands to do something for nothing, even if they’re up and coming.”

Ararat Live runs monthly gigs featuring headline acts.

This year, Mr Nicholson has attracted artists such as Deborah Conway, Benny Walker and Imogen Clark.

Ararat Town Hall, where the group runs its performances, can host 100 people under COVID-19 restrictions.

Mr Nicholson said there was frustration among musicians who believed there were inconsistencies around the State Government’s COVID-19 patronage rules.

“There have been a lot of musicians commenting about the fact you can have 25,000 people who can go to the footy, but you can have an

extremely limited amount of people at a gig,” he said.

“This has been a hard time for musicians because a lot of them work in hospitality as their main source of income – another sector significantly impacted by COVID.” Horsham Town Hall performance and events co-ordinator Shana Miatke said COVID lockdowns earlier in June forced her to reschedule several performances, including Bjorn Again Mumma Mia, from June 6 to November 18.

“The effect of a snap lockdown can last on average about three months or even longer,” she said.

“It’s not just a flick of the switch where we come back and we’re up to maximum capacity at our venue again.”

Ms Miatke said she was hoping the State Government could form a roadmap to help restart live entertainment if lockdowns occurred in the future.

“Events need a roadmap out and we need greater planning than what is currently being provide by the State Government,” she said.

“There is a large impact to the events industry with the restrictions, with closures and constant restructuring and reprogramming of events.”

Horsham Town Hall can have 70 percent capacity, or 350 people, at its shows under restrictions.

Ms Miatke said the capacity limit was making it difficult to turn a profit to make events viable.

“Promoters are really cautious about coming to Victoria just because we need to have large numbers in the venues to make it profitable,” she said.

“We make all of our money through ticket sales and have to consider accommodation, travel and food costs as part of that.”

Ms Miatke said she was still hoping to forge ahead with plans for regular live music featuring Wimmera bands despite the June disruptions.

“We’ve put the date on hold for now until we can have the numbers and a dance floor where people can still come out to socialise and enjoy the event in a covid-safe environment,” she said.

Peaks trail update sessions Parks Victoria will provide updates on progress of the multi-million-dollar Grampians Peaks Trail during online and community sessions this month.

An online session will be from 5.30pm to 6.30pm today and three informal drop-in sessions will be at The Wander Inn at Wartook on Friday, Brambuk – the National Park and Cultural Centre at Halls Gap on Tuesday and Dunkeld Visitor Information Centre on July 15.

People can register for the online session via an Eventbrite site and attend the drop-in sessions from 4pm to 6pm.

Work on Grampians Peaks Trail, designed to provide a hiking and camping experience Wednesday, July 7, 2021

through the lofty heart of Grampians National Park, is scheduled to be finished in spring.

The State Government has provided $20.2-million and the Federal Government $10-million to develop the peaks trail.

Expectations are, pending an eventual easing of international pandemic circumstances, that up to 34,000 walkers will experience the national park annually, generating $6-million in economic benefit and tourism opportunities in the region.

The national park is part of a broader Gariwerd or ‘pointed shoulder’ landscape that geographically represents an overlapping border between the Wimmera and Western District.

Mayor on budget, rates

H

orsham Rural City Council adoption of a 2021-2022 budget has given the green light for the council to push ahead with a $2-million capital-works program during the next 12 months.

Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said the council, working through budget details with the community during April and May, had produced a direction that maintained services, supported projects and invested in communityled projects.

“This will grow the municipality now and in the future,” she said.

Cr Gulline provided a summary of budget and rate-collecting direction after councillors switched from voting against adopting the plans to adopting them after a suspension of standing orders at a meeting last week.

Cr Gulline said the 2021-22 budget outlined how the council would increase spending on rural roads and infrastructure by 27 percent, or $1.56-million.

She confirmed key projects included a Horsham Caravan Park upgrade, construction of new change rooms at Horsham Aquatic Centre and refurbishment of Horsham Town Hall’s heritage floor.

Funding will also go towards riverfront developments and implementation of a City to River Masterplan and other projects across the municipality.

The council’s adoption of a revenue and rating plan, while the subject of considerable debate and anxiety and prompting a protest from farmers at last week’s meeting, also provided clear direction on how the council would source revenue and how it would calculate rates and charges.

FLOOR FIX: Horsham Town Hall’s Heritage Hall floor will be the subject of a refurbishment project as part of Horsham Rural City Council’s 2020-21 budget. The floor has historically provided a platform for everything from balls and discos to conferences, shows, performances and gatherings such as a 2019 International Women’s Day lunch.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The council has increased rates by a 1.5 percent ministerial rate cap, reduced farm differentials from 67 percent to 59 percent of property value and decreased a municipal charge from $274 to $240.

Cr Gulline reiterated the council had given significant consideration to the distortion of the relative share of rates between sectors as a result of a rapid rise in farm valuations compared with the rest of the municipality.

“Farm values rose by 27.42 percent and residential by 4.46 percent. This difference is significant and in recognition of that, the council further reduced the farm differential from 67 percent to 59 percent to lessen the impact of this change,” she said.

Cr Gulline reaffirmed the average contribution of rates for the agricultural sector rose by 10.65 percent but stressed that if the council was not to adjust the differential, the farm sector increase would have been 17.9 percent.

“Reducing the municipal charge from $274 to $240 will also help ratepayers with lower-valued properties,” she said.

“The council thanks the community for its input into the 2021-2022 budget and looks forward to working together to implement the extensive projects and services outlined in the document.”

‘Making sure people are accountable’ Rates cut, road upgrades and capital-works projects are all priorities in Ararat Rural City Council’s annual budget.

The budget features $13.017-million investment in capital-works projects, including record levels of investment for roads and infrastructure upgrades.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the 2021-22 budget, which included a 1.5-percent rate cut, was unanimously passed last week.

“There is no doubt the COVID pandemic has presented significant challenges for our region,” he said.

“Councillors and I have put in a lot of work to deliver a bold budget that will work smarter and harder for our community.

“Maintaining the rate burden carefully across all sectors – general, commercial, industrial and farming – has been front of mind for council to prevent people from receiving unfair rate increases.”

Investment will also go towards major eco-

nomic and recreational developments including an Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct and Gordon Street Recreation Reserve.

Cr Peter Beales said the council had a zero percent rate rise for the past four years.

“There is no council that has done that,” he said.

“Capital works and our infrastructure renewal is well above all of our neighbours and probably the highest in the state. It’s a sustainable position, it’s not one-off. It makes other councils, in my view, look at us in amazement.

“It’s simple really. Put a structure in place, make sure people are accountable – the councillors are accountable, the staff are accountable, and you can do almost anything.”

Cr Rob Armstrong highlighted the council had been successful at achieving change through organisational efficiency.

“The difference is, we’re running the council like a business and accountable for all the money that is spent,” he said.

have a considerable impact on the community and economy.

The policy aims to help people experiencing financial hardship without jeopardising funding of council operations. This policy applies to money owed to Northern Grampians Shire Council including rates and charges as well as a range of user fees such as health, food act and accommodation registrations.

The council resolved to adopt the draft budget 2021-22 after considering community submissions.

The council has also adopted its council plan 2021-2025, based on a concept of ‘eight pillars’ symbolising goals during the current fouryear term.

Councillors congratulated the community for its input into the plan during an engagement period, particularly at St Arnaud where the community came out in force to express its views.

In other meeting developments, the council reviewed a planning strategy for Navarre that identified priority projects to ensure the town ‘survives and thrives’.

The council also acknowledged a review into visitor information services at Halls Gap, St Arnaud and Stawell. It assessed four options designed to improve services and determined the council would continue to outsource a current service for 12 months before transitioning the visitor information centres to a council-provided service.

Halls Gap HUB will become a seven-day Victorian Tourism Industry Council-accredited visitor information centre, with staff providing services for 56 hours each week.

Northern Grampians Shire Council has adopted 2021-22 budget and revenue and rating plans, which represent a 1.5 percent rate rise across a ratepayer base.

The increase is reflective of a municipal rates cap within which councils must operate.

The council, which debated the directional documents at a meeting at St Arnaud last week, needed to recalculate figures in its revenue and rating plan after voting to adjust a farm differential rate.

Farming rates will now be 0.2682 cents in the dollar based on capital improved value, reflecting a 53 percent discount when compared with the general rate.

A general rate is 0.5705 cents in the dollar of capital improved value.

The council acknowledged the resolution would reduce 2021-22 income by $105,000 inclusive of a penalty-rates interest waiver, a 50 percent waiver for public health registrations and some facility rental waivers in place due to its COVID-19 Financial Support and Hardship Policy.

The council intends to raise $18,486,000 from general rates, municipal charges and annual service charges.

This comprises $8,962,000 in general rates, $5,353,000 in farm rates, $11,000 in cultural and recreational land, $1,330,000 from a municipal charge, $1,678,000 from an annual garbage charge and $1,152,000 from an annual recycling charge.

During the meeting the council also voted to extend the COVID-19 Financial Support and Hardship Policy for another 12 months considering the pandemic continued to

tawell Winter Woollies Hand Made Market organisers have been busy preparing for this week’s annual event, which will look a little different in 2021.

– Jenny Greenberger

Items for sale will include blankets, beanies, gloves, hats, clothing, toys and hand-spun and hand-dyed wool.

There will also be demonstrations and light refreshments.

“We have 16 stallholders booked in, all with beautiful hand-made winter woolly items to sell,” Mrs Greenberger said.

She said she was ‘optimistic for a great attendance’.

“There are so few activities happening at the moment due to COVID, so we expect lots of people will be keen to see and hopefully purchase the amazing hand-made craft work people have been producing to keep themselves occupied during lockdown,” she said.

“Our local SES market is still on hold, our Grampians Model Railroaders exhibition has been cancelled yet again, but we are determined to push on subject to our detailed COVD-safe plan, established with our host for the event, Stawell Neighbourhood House.

“Some number restrictions might still exist as to how many people can be visiting the market at any one time, but we have a system in place to manage this if needed.”

called to support lost or injured bushwalkers in the Grampians,” he said.

“By upgrading capacity, adding new and improved 4G and 5G coverage, we’ll deliver better connectivity to 570 homes and businesses and roads in and out of the area.”

The Halls Gap project is one of 72 regional co-investment Australian telecommunications infrastructure projects Telstra is providing under the government program. The projects range from transmission, coverage and capacity upgrades and construction of new mobile base stations in coverage blackspot areas.

“We know better than anyone the challenges involved in connecting regional and remote communities. It’s partnerships like this and the significant investments we’re making in regional areas that will help all Australians participate fully in the digital economy,” Mr Swinburne said.

Mobile-telephone connectivity in Halls Gap is set for a $1.4-million boost as part of a joint funding program between the Federal Government and telecommunications firm Telstra.

Investment in infrastructure through Regional Connectivity Program is designed to improve 4G coverage and capacity and provide next-generation 5G to the Grampians village.

Confirmation of a $770,000 upgrade to a Telstra site at Halls Gap will build on the 4G and 5G opportunities and follows a previous $640,000 upgrade for Telstra’s Halls Gap East mobile-phone site.

Telstra acting regional manager Marcus Swinburne said adding ‘significant’ extra capacity to the network would help keep the Halls Gap community connected and businesses operating effectively during peak tourism demand.

“Improving mobile coverage and capacity will also support the essential work of emergency services in case of bushfire or when they’re

Stawell Winter Woollies Committee secretary Jenny Greenberger said the group had hosted a festival at this time of year since 2016, until the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“We had to cancel last year’s event due to COVID-19 lockdown so it’s wonderful we can do something this year,” she said.

“It’s usually a festival where we create a general display of everyone’s work, but we decided to go with a market this year to reduce handling and make it more practical to postpone or cancel in the case of a snap lockdown.”

Mrs Greenberger said the festival was the brainchild of regional artist and textile creator, Cherrelle Nicholson, who was inspired by the Alice Springs Beanie Festival.

“Cherrelle knew of many fellow artists who would love to have a way to display and sell their craft,” she said.

“Her other motivation was to encourage older residents who love to knit and crotchet to keep up with their craft, to give them a reason to stay connected, something so helpful in maintaining positive mental health.

“Cherrelle worked at Eventide Homes in Stawell for many years and knew how important it was for older people to have something to do and something to work towards.

“COVID permitting, we hope residents will be able to visit the market on Friday afternoon.”

The market runs from noon to 7pm on Friday and 9am to 2pm, Saturday, at the Powerhouse in Sloane Street.

“Our local SES market is still on hold, our Grampians Model Railroaders exhibition has been cancelled yet again, but we are determined to push on subject to our detailed COVD-safe plan, established with our host for the event, Stawell Neighbourhood House”

rior to COVID-19, we were steadily moving towards a cashless world.

Post 2020, even the most resilient of us has made the leap to tap-and-go payments sooner than we expected.

From the morning coffee to filling up the petrol tank, we wave that plastic with little thought to the impact on our account balances.

In fairness to us, many retailers are now adopting the ‘no-cash, please’ trading regime, but we Australians have a reputation for embracing technology and touchless shopping is no exception.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, Australian household debt is sitting around 210 percent of net disposable income. That places us fifth in the world, behind Denmark, 257, Norway, 240, Netherlands, 236 and Switzerland, 223.

Compared with countries with spending habits similar to our own – the USA with 105 percent and the United Kingdom, 142, – we’re quite high.

If your debt level is pushing northwards of your preferred limit, here are a few ideas for getting – and staying – on track: • Pay your full card balance off every month.

Sure, it’s an oldie but a goodie. You know what you need to do; if your current balance is too high, pay more than the minimum amount. The first step in breaking the credit cycle is to get off it, which leads into our next point: • Create a realistic budget so you can identify where your money is going and how much extra you can pay off your credit cards. The government’s Moneysmart website has a free budget planner to help you. Alternatively, chat with your financial planner and work with them to develop a payment strategy to get your debts under control and stay that way.

• Keep your tap-and-go receipts and reconcile them against your account each week. This is

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth one of the best ways to see exactly how much you are shelling out, and on what. You’ll identify areas of unnecessary spending, and you’ll spot any errors or dodgy transactions.

• Instead of a credit card for your touchless transactions, consider using a pre-paid card.

Available from banks and other financial institutions – even Australia Post offers one – you load it with your own money and use it for in-person or online shopping. It’s just like a credit card but without the risk of getting into debt.

• Consider your subscriptions, you know, streaming services, magazines and memberships. Many renew automatically and the first you’ll know about it is an unexpected – often expensive – transaction on your card. Do a stocktake to see what subscriptions you have and decide if you really need them. For those you no longer need, change your subscription settings so they don’t automatically renew. Don’t worry, they’ll alert you when the renewal is due in case you change your mind!

We’re definitely living in an interesting time.

Our lives have altered in ways we’d never have imagined and we Australians, in our typical way, are adapting to these ‘new norms’.

This is a good thing, just as long as we stay in control.

Lake Bolac joins RV Friendly Towns Ararat municipal leaders are confident Lake Bolac’s listing with RV Friendly Towns will boost its profile as a solid tourism destination in the Grampians.

Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia declared the status after the town demonstrated its ability to meet key criteria including providing RV access to general shopping areas, parking and potable water.

Ararat Rural City Council mayor Jo Armstrong said the status positioned the town to access a lucrative tourism market.

“Our region boasts some of the best vacation spots in the state, surrounded with picturesque grazing country, rolling hills, lakes and a range of activities for outdoor lovers,” she said.

“More families and younger people are re-discovering the classic way of spending an Aussie

holiday outdoors, in their own back yard. We’re expecting visitor numbers to increase as restrictions continue to ease.”

Cr Armstrong said the self-contained RV-tourism market was estimated to be worth more than $2.5-billion annually.

“For Lake Bolac, joining the RV Friendly Towns network will deliver direct benefits to local businesses, from travellers who choose to stop, stay and spend,” she said.

“We highly encourage RV-ers to pop into Lake Bolac Information Centre on Glenelg Highway, where our friendly volunteers are happy to help you make the most of your stay.”

Powerline corridor set

T

he company responsible for upgrading infrastructure to open western Victoria to greater renewable-energy generation has announced a single corridor for the project.

AusNet has confirmed its preferred 190-kilometre direction for the Western Victorian Transmission Network Project from Bulgana between Stawell and Ararat to north of Ballarat and ultimately joining Sydenham in Melbourne. It runs roughly northeast and parallel with the Western Highway, jutting north of Ballarat to take in Glendonald and Mount Prospect before returning to a southeasterly direction.

The first stage of the corridor involves developing infrastructure along an existing transmission-line route that includes Bulgana, Crowlands, Ararat and Waubra terminal stations.

A second section would be from Waubra to Glendonald, a third from Glendonald to Mount Prospect, fourth from Mount Prospect to Long Forest and a fifth from Long Forest to Sydenham.

AusNet narrowed down the corridor, identifying it as ‘the least constrained’ after shortlisting options in February and continuing community-engagement and technical investigations.

It plans further studies to identify a proposed final route.

The project is critical to realising the potential renewable-energy opportunities in much of western Victoria including the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District. Greater electrical capacity from the state’s renewable-energy-generating west is essential as the state moves from coal-generated electricity in the east.

Wimmera development leaders, regularly fielding inquiries from national and international renewable-energy firms,

have advocated for the transmission upgrade for many years.

They are confident the development represents millions or billions of dollars in investment and development opportunities, especially if AusNet investigations into increasing 220-kilovolt section of line between Bulgana and Waubra to 500kV became a reality. A Renewable Energy Zone Development Plan Directions Paper identified a potential expansion.

Western Victoria already generates about 4000 megawatts of renewable energy and the transmission project has the potential to unlock a further 900MW.

Potential

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said in February that increasing the capacity to 500kv would open potential for an extra 1200 megawatts of renewable-energy projects in the region.

Regardless of a much-needed socio-economic boost the project might represent for the Wimmera and southern Mallee, it continues to attract strong and passionate objection from affected Central Highlands landowners.

Others are pushing for the infrastructure, instead of traditional powerlines, to be underground.

Mr Sounness said he was confident that seizing an opportunity to switch a major substation development from north Ballarat to Bulgana would dramatically change many concerns surrounding the lines’ impact on farming, future infrastructure development and general aesthetics through the Central Highlands.

“It would also open other doors of opportunity,” he said.

Transmission line executive project director Stephanie McGregor said she ac-

knowledged feedback from landholders and communities on the project.

She said the company would have community consultations regarding the latest corridor announcement and placement of the proposed transmission line within that corridor.

“Nobody knows the land like the landholders themselves. We will work with them to ensure agriculture and other land use can continue along the line with minimal disruption,” Ms McGregor said.

“We have experience working alongside many businesses, farmers and communities across the state who already live, grow crops and operate businesses under our network of 6500 kilometres of existing transmission lines.”

Ms McGregor said corridor selection took into consideration the location of private residences, the surrounding landscape, the environment, cultural significance and the agricultural use of land.

“We absolutely acknowledge and understand the uncertainty around the issue of farming under potential transmission lines,” she said.

“As a result of investigations, consultations and recognition that farming occurs under existing transmission lines in Victoria, we can confirm that farmers will be able to grow crops, including potatoes, within the transmission-line easement.

“Ongoing engagement continues to be our priority. As the Environmental Effects Statement progresses there will be many opportunities for landowners and the community to provide further input.”

Some Central Highlands farmers, particularly large operators who use aircraft in operations, remain unconvinced about the impact of the lines on their enterprises.

Youth embrace Landcare A Bulgana Green Power Hub Community Benefit Sharing Program has enabled a Wimmera Landcare group to teach young people about nature.

Grant recipient Stawell Urban Landcare Group has been running a ‘connect with nature’ program during the school holidays.

Children in St Arnaud and Stawell have participated in nature walks, yoga, nature art, making haikus, growing seeds and building worm farms and insect hotels.

Group treasurer Julie Andrews said the program was designed for children to engage and have fun with nature.

“The program provides an activity for children during the school holidays – the kids need as much of this as they can get,” she said.

“The program has a particular theme about the natural world and being aware of that.”

Ms Andrews said exposing the children to nature was an opportunity for them to slow down and embrace their environment.

“There’s plenty of research that shows spending time in nature is a very calming thing, especially through COVID it’s been a pretty disruptive time for a couple a kids,” she said.

“Just being able to pay a little bit more attention to nature and to appreciate it is a beneficial thing for our kids.”

The energy hub grant program provides money for community groups including sports clubs, schools and environmental groups. Grants range from $1500 to $20,000.

Growth in care-service employment C

ommunity health services will continue to expand across the Wimmera with programs reaching into small communities and support programs for people to deal with the impact of COVID-19.

Grampians Community Health’s workforce has grown by 33 percent during the past two years – from 150 to 200 – with leaders anticipating more growth during the next 12 months.

Chief executive Greg Little said growth was happening broadly but predominantly in family violence, mental health, drug and alcohol and aged-care services.

He said the expansion had been in line with a Grampians Community Health strategic plan to identify and fill gaps in its service coverage area and respond to growing demand caused by the pandemic.

The expansion will continue in 2022, with at least 15 people to join Grampians Community Health for a new Orange Door support and safety hub for people experiencing family violence in Horsham.

Earlier this year, Grampians Community Health started providing aged and disability services in Horsham, adding 30 staff members to service more than 600 new clients.

The group has also experienced equivalent growth to support the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Mr Little said the growth represented a huge investment into the Wimmera economy with positive flow-on effects in the community.

“As a not-for-profit, we’re directing all our resources back into programs and supporting those staff who deliver

Push for vaccination Grampians Community Health leaders are urging the Wimmera community to get vaccinated and ‘stick it to COVID-19’.

As a vaccination ambassador for the State Government’s COVID-19 response, the health service is encouraging everyone in the community to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible and supplies are available.

Chief executive Greg Little said the group’s ‘stick it to COVID-19’ campaign aimed to increase the uptake of vaccinations across the region.

Mr Little said while regional vaccination centres were waiting for more Pfizer supply in the wake of changes to AstraZeneca recommendations, people could trust the ‘overwhelming’ scientific advice.

“The right thing for the

community is to get vaccinated,” he said.

“The risks from vaccination are far less than if you were to get COVID-19 and statistically less risky than being hurt in a car accident in the past 12 months.”

Mr Little said Grampians Community Health was also supporting relatively small communities and people in potentially high-risk accommodation settings such as caravan parks, public housing and supported residential services to stay safe and avoid COVID-19 risks.

He said this included providing information packs on when, where and how people could be vaccinated, adding that a Grampians Community Health model in place for working with smaller communities had yielded great results and been mirrored by other

these services,” he said. “We exist to serve our community and try to identify gaps and advocate for services where there is a genuine need.”

As well as operating from main offices in Stawell, Ararat and Horsham, Grampians Community Health now provides services in St Arnaud, Warracknabeal, Hamilton, Maryborough, Edenhope, Nhill and other regional towns and communities.

“We might not have permanent offic-

es in every town, but we’re providing regular services across the region,” Mr Little said.

“Our programs are making a huge difference in the lives of people.”

Mr Little said many programs had expanded in response to the impact of COVID-19.

“COVID has exposed the impacts of isolation for some people and the challenges of living together in confined spaces for others, where be-

haviours can be amplified,” he said.

Latest Victorian crime statistics for Northern Grampians region show family-violence orders increased from 84 to 179 and drug-possession crimes from 79 to 126 this year.

Grampians Community Health is also providing direct COVID-19 support programs and acting as a vaccination ambassador.

There are also new programs in chronic-disease management, support

for people with movement disorders and counselling for people living in residential aged care.

Grampians Community Health has been advertising to fill the new positions.

“We’re fortunate to have a stable workforce and at the same time people are looking to migrate into our area, so we’re getting a lot of quality applicants,” Mr Little said.

Grampians Community Health is also working with universities to attract suitable staff and offer work-placement opportunities.

In addition to on-the-ground staff, an expanded management structure starting this month will include four additional program leaders and two managers to support the growth.

The organisation has also boosted human-resources and finance staff resources.

Despite the expansion, Grampians Community Health has been able to accommodate the additional staff, with many now opting for a blended model of working from home and in the office.

“One of the advantages of COVID is that people have become flexible with working from home,” Mr Little said.

He said Grampians Community Health had benefitted from the change to consumer-directed spending, such as NDIS and My Aged Care.

“This is giving people the capacity to choose which agency they want and it’s a great compliment that they are selecting Grampians Community Health because it shows we are doing the right thing by our community,” he said.

SCOLIOSIS

Savoury Pin Wheels

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.

Dominant force Porsche adds five new GTS variants to 911 range

P

orsche Cars Australia has bolstered its local line-up with five new GTS variants designed to fill the gap between the Carrera S and flagship Turbos, offering more power and performance across the coupe, cabriolet and targa body styles.

Ranging in price from $314,800 to $366,900 plus on-road costs, the GTS will check into showrooms some $35,000 clear of their respective Carrera S counterparts, with the sizable premium netting buyers an extra 22kW-20Nm, a bespoke GTS suspension tune and high-performance braking system derived from the Turbo.

Extracting 353kW of power and

570Nm of torque from a turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six, the all-paw Carrera 4 GTS coupe is said to launch from 0-100kmh in 3.3 seconds.

The new portfolio consists of two rear-wheel-drive variants, coupe and convertible, badged Carrera GTS, both with the option of a seven-speed manual transmission, and three allwheel-drive Carrera 4 GTS variants, coupe, convertible and targa, that are PDK automatic only.

Rolling on the same black staggered alloy wheels as the Turbo – 20-inch front, 21-inch rear – the GTS is identified by a blacked-out spoiler lip, engine cover louvres, headlight surrounds and ‘GTS’ badging, with the

sporty theme continued within the interior too.

Inside the cabin is a GT Sport steering wheel, Sport Chrono package, Porsche Track Precision app compatibility, tyre temperature display, Sport Seats Plus and reduced sound insulation for more ‘emotive driving acoustics’.

The GTS’ acoustic game is stepped up further by the standard inclusion of a new sports exhaust that contributes to both the aural stakes and the power increase.

To keep the body in check both on track and over poor surfaces, the GTS comes standard with Porsche’s active suspension management, adaptive

damping, riding 10mm lower than the standard S variants.

Those wanting even more dynamic prowess can opt for the optional ‘lightweight design package’ that removes the rear seats, swaps out the standard front pews for carbon-fibre buckets, adds lightweight glass for the side and rear windows, a lightweight battery, rear axle steering system and some extra aero elements.

As usual for Porsche, Australian-delivered GTS models will arrive comparatively well-equipped, including LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, the latest 7.0-inch infotainment system hosting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

as well as ‘Hey Porsche’ voice command.

Other inclusions consist of metallic paint, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, electrically-folding exterior mirrors, parking sensors front and rear with reversing camera and surround view, lane-change assist, comfort access, power steering plus, heated steering wheel and seats, puncture repair kit, Bose surround sound system and digital radio.

Porsche has sold 167 911s so far this year ending May, making it the dominant force within the $200,000-plus sportscar market with a 36.4 percent segment share.

Cupra Born EV firms for Aus

C

upra’s first fully-electric vehicle, the Born hatchback, might be a glaring omission from its introductory 2022 Australian model line-up, but the Born’s arrival status appears destined to change – and sooner rather than later.

With the New South Wales government’s recent electric vehicle strategy announcement having opened the door for other states to begin actively promoting EV ownership, Cupra Australia says the Born’s path to these shores has become much smoother.

Cupra Australia products and services manager Jeff Shafer described the Born as ‘a real statement about the future of Cupra and a car that we’re very interested in’.

Named after a famous central neighbourhood in Barcelona, about 30km from Cupra’s global headquarters, the Spanish brand’s first EV is due to begin European sales this September.

A close relative of the Volkswagen ID.3 EV, the rear-drive Cupra Born will offer three powertrains in Europe, including an optional e-Boost1 performance package with a 77kWh battery, 170kW of power, 540km of range and a 0-100kmh time of 7.0 seconds.

“We’re in discussions with Cupra about bringing it to Australia, but as with other EVs in the group, we do have a challenge to make our case to get the car green-lighted,” Mr Shafer said.

STATEMENT: The rear-drive Cupra Born could find its way to Australian shores.

Once there is a federal approach to accelerating the transition to cleaner vehicles, Mr Shafer said the Australian introduction of the Cupra Born would become a much higher priority for the Volkswagen Group, though the car remained on the radar for Australian introduction irrespective of existing EV policy.

The Cupra Born is looking more

likely to come here than its Volkswagen ID.3 cousin, with VW’s Australian EV push likely to be focused on the ID.4 SUV and the intriguing ID.Buzz that is based on an electric 2017 Frankfurt Show concept inspired by the original VW Microbus.

With Cupra focused on the Born hatchback and Volkswagen favouring the more family-friendly ID.4 and

ID.Buzz for Australia, VW Group Australia general manager of corporate communication Paul Pottinger said the Born would not step on the toes of any other VGA EV in this market.

“All the brands are trying their different ways to have this conversation,” he said.

“Everyone’s a winner of one plus

one.” Indeed, the Born will not be Cupra’s only EV. In March the Spanish performance brand confirmed it would build a production version of its 2019 Tavascan Electric Concept, set to be unveiled in 2024 as a performance and technology flagship for the up-andcoming brand.

“Looking forward, we expect even more exciting vehicles to join the Cupra range, such as the Tavascan, which, like the Formentor, is a really pure expression of the Cupra DNA but more evolved, and a representation of how style and performance will continue in the age of electrification,” Mr Shafer said.

VW Group Australia PR and group electric vehicles manager Kurt McGuinness said the NSW government announcement happened at a convenient time given Cupra Australia’s reveal of its virtually all-PHEV lineup and EV future, ‘but there was still plenty of ground to cover before reaching a national EV consensus’.

“We’ve spent a long time talking the talk; we now need to walk the walk,” he said.

“A big part of what I’m going to be working on moving forward is making sure that we are doing that – tackling things holistically rather than just fighting factions, where we’re actually looking at this implementation of an EV strategy as a national agenda.”

Peugeot stretches 308 to create Sportwagon

M

ore than three months after Peugeot debuted its newgeneration 308 hatch, the covers have come off its elongated Sportwagon stablemate that will reach Aussie soil sometime in mid-2022, several months after the hatch arrives.

Measuring 280mm longer than the hatch and riding on a 55mm-longer wheelbase, the 308 Sportwagon’s key design features are the swooping hind quarters of its bigger body.

The extra metal equates to an improved 608 litres of rear cargo space compared with the hatch’s 412L, expandable to 1634L by stowing the 40:20:40 split-rear folding seats.

2011 hyundai i30 hatch

Not only is the load space more generous, it’s also been decked out with a few practical goodies including a 12V socket, LED lighting, two storage nets and bag hooks.

Up front, standard creature comforts will include a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, 10-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, multi-function steering wheel, satellite navigation, ‘OK Peugeot’ voice command and a 10-speaker sound system.

Honda outs new Civic hatch

T

wo months after the official reveal of its new-generation Civic sedan, Honda has torn the covers off the related hatch version that, unlike the four-door, has been confirmed for a fourthquarter start Down Under.

Powered by a more powerful version of the familiar turbocharged 1.5-litre VTEC four-cylinder engine, the new Civic hatch line-up will be bolstered next year by the addition of the ‘e:HEV’ hybrid powertrain as well as the inevitable Type R performance halo.

Lined-up side-by-side with the sedan, the casual viewer might be hard pressed to spot any differences between the hatch and the sedan, including in the overall silhouette.

The bulk of body features and characteristics are identical – they are both Civics after all – with the only real difference being found at the rear.

Whereas the sedan’s roofline tapers down and evens out, creating the boot and bootlid, the hatch’s tapers to a generous lip spoiler that almost acts like a buffer.

The Civic has bucked the usual hatch trends for a while now, with the outgoing model exhibiting a similar, almost fastback bodystyle compared with the usual squared-off shapes of rivals such as the Ford Focus or Volk-

POWERFUL: The new Honda Civic will only come to Australia in hatch form, with a hybrid vehicle due next year. swagen Golf. Compared with the current-generation car, the new Civic’s styling has been pared back in terms of complexity, with the main recurring theme being an abundance of straight lines both on the exterior and within the cabin.

Gone are the busy headlights, layered grille and convoluted front bumper, replaced instead by a clean and simple arrangement centred around a new rectangular grille and trapezoid lower intake.

Flanking the new grille is a slightly raised set of headlights capped by Lshaped LED daytime running lights, while the foglights are housed in their own blacked-out bezels, linked smoothly by the black front lip.

At the rear, the hatchback’s tail-light cluster is not dissimilar to the Kia Stinger’s, linked across the top by a red reflector strip and supported by some chunky contouring and sculpting to the bodywork.

The bumper has a subtle imitation

diffuser housing a set of chrome rectangular exhaust tips.

Inside the cabin, the parallel nature of the front end has been continued with a rectangular mesh trim piece spanning two-thirds of the dash and housing integrated air vents.

The mesh strip helps separate the infotainment screen from the HVAC controls below and roughly aligns with the centre spokes of the multifunction steering wheel before continuing to the other side, providing the

driver with another air vent. Between the two front seats is a clean and clutter free centre console accommodating the gear selector, drive mode switch and two cupholders.

Honda Australia has sold 1840 Civics so far this year ending May, accounting for 4.3 percent of the sub-$40,000 small car segment and enough to comfortably make it the brand’s third best-selling model behind the CR-V and HR-V.

New Ferrari 296 GTB V6 hybrid boasts V8-rivalling power

F

errari has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by McLaren’s new Artura, debuting its own sixcylinder hybrid supercar in the form of the new 296 GTB ahead of first deliveries to Australia in the second half of next year.

Expected to sit alongside the F8 Tributo as the brand’s new entrylevel mid-ship offering, the 296 GTB resembles a downsized SF90, albeit with the rear haunches of a last-generation Ford GT. Not only is the 296 GTB the first V6 series production Ferrari – the early 1960s Dino never wore Prancing Horse branding – it is also the first time the company has produced a rear-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid powertrain as the flagship SF90 is allwheel-drive.

Global deliveries of the 296 GTB will start early next year, with lefthand-drive markets such as Europe being given priority over right-handdrive markets like Australia.

Lurking behind the cabin is an electrified and turbocharged 3.0-litre bent six developing a combined 610kW of power at 8000rpm and 740Nm of torque at a peaky 6250rpm.

Rather than simply lop two cylinders off the Portofino M’s turbocharged V8 and tickle up the result, Ferrari’s engineers insist the new mill has been designed and developed from a clean sheet of paper ‘specifically for this installation’.

Electric power comes courtesy of a single motor mounted between the internal combustion engine and transmission, fed by a 7.45kWh lithium-

ion battery that gifts the 296 an allelectric range of up to 25km.

The transmission in question is the same eight-speed dual-clutch automatic as seen elsewhere in the Ferrari portfolio, including on the SF90, Roma and Portofino M. Ferrari claims the result is a 0-100kmh time of 2.9 seconds, 0-200kmh in 7.3 seconds and a top speed north of 330kmh.

In terms of brute force, it out-muscles the V8-powered F8 for sheer power but falls some 30Nm shy on torque.

More importantly, both models drastically outshine the Artura in both respects, though the McLaren fights back against the 296 with a superior all-electric range.

Brake discs measuring 398x38mm up front and 360x32mm at the rear

are clamped by calipers developed from those found on the SF90, which can haul the 296 up from 200kmh to a standstill in a claimed 107 metres.

More than just a rabid speed machine, Ferrari has been careful to ensure its new car can be used dayto-day and that the hybrid powertrain can be exploited for more than just outright performance.

In addition to the traditional Manettino drive mode selector, the 296 has been fitted with a new ‘eManettino’ system that gives drivers the choice of hybrid eDrive, performance and qualify modes.

As usual for Ferrari, form follows function with nearly every line, curve, inlet, vent and channel having some role to play in either the aerodynamics or cooling.

To help the new car be as agile and dynamically capable as possible, the 296 rides on a wheelbase some 50mm shorter than previous mid-ship Ferraris – such as the F8 – which works in unison with newly developed electronics like the ‘Transition Manager Actuator’, six-way adjustable ‘Chassis Dynamic Sensor’ and ABS evo controller. Suspension duties are taken care of by magnetorheological dampers in all four corners.

Inside the cabin, designers have emulated the ‘entirely digital interface’ concept debuted on the SF90, meaning its smaller stablemate scores a virtual cockpit and haptic touch controls for the climate settings, with all other controls are mounted on the steering wheel.

Dad and I had some great times. I always looked up to him.

When I moved into my own place he was sad to see me go, but always called around to see if I was okay.

He was the kind of guy who always offered advice, but never expected me to take it.

I knew Dad wouldn’t be around forever, and the day I expected to be sad turned out to be a true celebration of his life I’ll cherish forever.

Public Notices

In accordance with the provisions of Section 260 of the Water Act 1989, notice is given by GWMWater of the making of a resolution setting the following tariffs for 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. The price changes have been approved by the Essential Services Commission, the independent regulator for the water industry. The tariffs have been calculated in accordance with the ‘Essential Services Commission 2018 Water Price Review Final Decision: GWMWater Determination, 19 June 2018’.

Tariffs consist of a Service Availability Charge (SAC) and a Consumption Charge per kilolitre. Accounts are issued quarterly. Tariffs are due and payable 28 days after issue of account. Accounts outstanding on due date will attract interest on unpaid amounts. Tariffs apply to properties within declared water and sewerage districts. GST does not apply to water and wastewater tariffs. Customers outside the water and wastewater districts are supplied by agreement, which are reviewed annually by the Corporation. The State Government provides concessions for non-profit organisations and holders of concession cards. Assistance is also available through the Utility Relief Grant Scheme.

Please phone 1300 659 961 or visit our website gwmwater.org.au/billing for any enquiries regarding your account, current prices or available concessions.

A copy of our Schedule of Tariffs and Miscellaneous Charges 2021/22 is available on our website at gwmwater.org.au/billing/tariffs-and-charges or by contacting us on 1300 659 961 during business hours.

Equestrians shine at school titles

A

team of five equestrians representing Horsham College has collected top honours at a major competition at Elmore.

It was the first time in Elmore Equestrian Club Equestrian Australia Interschool Qualifier’s five-year history that a Horsham school had won the overall teams competition.

The school’s previous best was fourth in 2017.

Riders and their horses competed in a variety of equestrian sports including dressage, showing, show jumping, handy mount and novelties.

Judges allocate points for placings to sixth position and tally results with the top four scores of each school representatives to determine the winning school.

Paris Fiedler riding Talingka Park Matthias had an outstanding competition, leading the way for the Horsham College team.

She won both senior elementary dressage tests and was champion of the section as well as champion in the senior novice. The horse and rider also gained points in the rider class of a showing section.

Montana Dickerson riding her new horse Bushdrift Fleetwood also performed well, placing in three of their four dressage tests as well as a handy-mount section.

Asha Fiedler and Tapu Height of Elegance were highly competitive in an intermediate section. They placed second and fourth and claimed reserve champion in a preliminary

dressage competition and first and third in an intermediate-novice section to again be reserve champion.

Luka Cameron and her off-the-track thoroughbred Red Almighty made the three-hour drive to compete in senior show jumping and placed second in a 90-centimetre class and third in the overall championship for that height.

Morgan Lane rode Wynara Be My Valentine and narrowly missed out on earning points by placing seventh on three occasions in dressage and showing classes.

Team manager Kylie Fiedler said she was ‘extremely’ proud of the riders.

“The girls work hard for their success and being an equestrian is not an easy choice of sport,” she said.

“The weekend’s conditions were not ideal for horses because it was freezing and raining. But it was a credit to the team because they kept going and tried their best no matter what.

“We are from the country but time and time again our riders and their horses prove they are highly competitive on the big stage.”

The interschool competitions were the last for Paris and Morgan because they are both in year 12 at the college.

The other riders will now set their sights on the Victorian Interschools Equestrian State Championships at Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre in April, 2022.

Hockey back after break T

BY SIMON KING

he first of Wimmera Hockey Association’s postponed rounds will be at Anzac Park in Warracknabeal on Saturday.

They follow a general bye last weekend due to school holidays and junior state championships.

Originally scheduled at Kaniva in late May, this weekend’s games are one of two rounds postponed due to lockdowns. Officials scheduled the games on a weekend that traditionally had no hockey due to school holidays.

The other affected round will be at Kaniva at the end of August, before finals start a week later than initially planned.

In open division this weekend, the most interest will be in the match between Warrack Hoops and Dimboola Burras.

These two are yet to face off in an entire game this season after their first encounter was called off before half time due to a player injury.

As a result, this is their first opportunity to gain a psychological advantage over an opponent they are likely to face in the finals.

The Hoops hold second place by four points, and with a full-strength team, should be able to prevail on their home ground. But the Burras have been in impressive form over recent weeks, and if they too can take the field with their best 11, this will be

a match worth watching. A Burras win would draw them level on points with the Hoops, but they would have to win by more than three goals to finish the round above their opponents.

Nhill Rangers should be able to get the points against Horsham Hurricanes, although the Horsham team is capable of scoring an upset.

This game would be an ideal opportunity for the Hurricanes to close the gap with the top four and remain in the hunt for a place in the finals.

Kaniva Cobras have been competitive so far this season, which is not reflected by their current fifth place on the ladder. But it is a daunting task to take on Yanac Tigers, and they will have to play at their best to earn the points from this game and remain in touch with the top four.

In women’s division, second-placed Kaniva has the opportunity to make a statement when it takes on undefeated Yanac. But the team has not played a competitive game since late May, which might work against it as it takes on the competition’s benchmark team.

Third place is the prize on offer when Horsham Jets take on Nhill Thunderbirds.

The latter team holds that position and has the opportunity to increase its grip. But a win by the Jets would see them rise to third – their highest position so far this season.

Dimboola Roos have a bye.

In under-16s, having gone down to Yanac Warriors by one goal scored from a penalty corner played out after the final whistle last round, Horsham Bombers will look to return to the winners list when they take on Nhill Leopards.

With only four points separating these two teams, a good win by the Leopards could see them rise to second. But the loss to the Warriors in their last outing should prove only a minor hiccup for the Bombers, who should be too strong.

Rescheduling of this round has seen Warrack Revengers miss playing a game on their home ground. But two points from the bye will be enough for them to return to the top four if fourth-placed Kaniva Raiders fail to overcome undefeated Yanac Warriors in the other game.

Junior championships

Although neither team featuring Wimmera players reached medal playoffs during Hockey Victoria’s Junior State Championships at Bendigo last weekend, competitors involved came away from the tournament with valuable experience.

The state is divided into four country and six metropolitan zones for this event and has separate divisions for boys and girls in under-13, under-15 and under-18 age groups.

Wimmera players are eligible for selection in North West Lightning

teams with others from North Central, Hockey Central Victoria and Sunraysia associations.

An under-18 girls Lightning team featured Nhill’s Kendra Clark.

In her first experience at this level, Kendra enjoyed time in defence, as she does for her Wimmera club, at both left and right half-back.

Her main benefit was the chance to learn from different coaches and

to pick up new tactics, set plays, and warm-up drills that she can now bring back to share with her Wimmera team-mates.

Horsham club member Hannah Mackereth, playing in her first state tournament, lined up for the Lightning’s under-13 girls, and Paul Mackereth joined the squad to shadow the coaches to gain experience leading players at this level.

Top two setting the pace A

BY JONATHAN BOX

fter eight rounds of a topsyturvy Mininera and District Football League season, Tatyoon and Woorndoo-Mortlake remain undefeated atop of the senior ladder.

After a scheduled week off, Tatyoon will play next-door neighbours SMW Rovers.

Tatyoon has made short work of every game it has played so far and its last win against HawkesdaleMacarthur was no different.

Hawkesdale-Macarthur put everything it had into the first quarter and went into quarter time in the lead, however this was the last time it would see the lead as Tatyoon ran away with a 10-goal victory.

Ben Clay added another four goals to his impressive season tally, which now sees him sitting third on the goal-kicking list with 39.

Sean McDougall, David Brady and Ryan Bates again featured in the better players, giving their team plenty of first use of the ball.

SMW Rovers’ season has not been as lucrative as Tatyoon’s, banking only two wins from eight games.

Although they have shown glimpses of good football, they have been struggling to put four quarters together despite the efforts of players such as Rob Chapman, Matt Mulcahy and Jesse Sardo.

The Bulldogs will look to get a better start this week to give themselves a chance against the Hawks.

Since losing to Tatyoon in round

one, Glenthompson-Dunkeld has yet to drop another game and will go into Saturday’s match against Woorndoo-Mortlake full of confidence it can give the Tigers their first defeat.

Glenthompson-Dunkeld has been going from strength to strength each week, winning its last game by nine goals against Penshurst.

Mick McMeel booted five goals for the Rams while Josh Dawson, Lachie Field and Alexander Richardson all did their fair share of heavy lifting around the ground.

The Rams will again need these players to lead the team for this week’s challenge.

Woorndoo-Mortlake has exerted its dominance in every game so far and its last game was no different

when it smashed Wickliffe-Lake Bolac by 29 goals.

The Tigers dominated from the start, kicking 11 goals to one in the first quarter.

Grant Cameron did most of the damage in front of goal, booting five and leading a list of 12 goalscorers.

Mathew Pemberton, James Coghlan-West and William Paulin had plenty of the ball in the win and will be eager to do so again and continue the Tigers’ good form.

In other games, Ararat Eagles host Penshurst, Hawkesdale-Macarthur plays Moyston-Willaura, WickliffeLake Bolac takes on LismoreDerrinallum and Great Western travels to Caramut to play the Swans.

Golfers help out Horsham Golf Club has raised $300 to help Royal Women’s Hospital purchase new equipment and train specialists.

The golf club hosted its RWH fourball best-ball stableford event on Thursday last week as part of Women’s Golf Victoria’s annual fundraising event.

Club members Lisa Jakobi and Pam Watkins were winners of the pairs tournament with a score of 45 points.

Jill Gawith and Kerri Harvey were runners-up on 42 points.

This year’s event was played at club level, with the winners determined on their club qualifying score.

The golf club also announced it would introduce a monthly medal playoff event in September to run alongside its monthly medal competition.

The ladies committee decided to call the event the ‘Jenny McRae Medalist Cup’ in recognition of club champion Jenny McRae who has won 23 club championships.

Giant test for Giants S

BY DEAN LAWSON

outhern Mallee Giants will go a long way to bolstering their Wimmera football premiership credentials if they can find a way to pull the rug from under potent Minyip-Murtoa this weekend.

The Giants are hovering in third position on the ladder a couple of wins off the pace set by both the Burras and Stawell.

But the southern Mallee force might well have started a wind-up process in a run to the finals and their fans will get a serious idea of where they sit come Saturday at Murtoa.

The Giants provided the competition with a glimpse of their cards at the weekend, coasting to a mighty 109-point victory over Warrack Eagles.

The Giants snuffed out any hope of the Eagles staying with their northern neighbours in the opening term, establishing an 11-goal lead by half time before coasting to victory.

Any win is a good win, but there’s more than a sneaking suspicion the Giants camp will place considerably more kudos on ripping four points away from the Burras than the Eagles.

The Giants would also be taking an occasional glance over their shoulder with Horsham Saints, which upset them a few weeks ago, sitting on the same points and following Horsham and Dimboola more than capable of raising the bar in the next month.

What the Giants did at the weekend was show off the extent of their wealth of goal-kicking talent.

Josh Webster led the way with five goals and Ben Webster and Nick Dinham both kicked four.

This was on top of players such as Luke Mahony, Jack Landrigan and Ed Lindon shining in the big win.

Minyip-Murtoa won’t need reminding that the Giants inflicted the side with its only loss of the season, at Beulah back in May, and will also be intent on seizing opportunities the challenge represents.

The Burras too are coming off a big win, building momentum to ultimately beat Ararat at Alexandra Oval by 78 points.

Ben McIntyre and versatile Warwick Stone led the charge, while Kieran Delahunty, who can play as a consistent follower or pinch-hitting forward, kicked five goals and busy Luke Fisher three.

One team closely watching what unfolds at Murtoa will be Stawell, that apart from hiccups against the Saints and the Burras, seems this season to just do enough to win games.

The Warriors were too good for Nhill at Nhill and will have another win this weekend, against Warrack Eagles.

Stawell beat Nhill by a little over seven goals, but similar to many of its contests, allowed its opponents to stay

within striking distance. In the process, on-field leader Tom Eckel continued his purple patch, Jack Walker had a good game and George Manton had another strong outing.

The Warriors meet an Eagles side enduring a lean year. Ryan McKenzie, Dane Stewart, Riley Morrow and Charlie Penny worked hard against the Giants last week but scoring opportunities were far and few between.

There is plenty going on in a gripping battle below the top three teams, with Horsham and Ararat set for what is almost a do-or-die contest if they want to contest the finals.

Horsham is sixth, trailing but on the same points as Dimboola, and Ararat is four points behind in seventh position.

It might be that the team that makes up the last place in the finals equation needs only a handful of wins and that adds plenty of pressure to the overall competition.

Last week, in a thrilling Sunday clash, Horsham came unstuck by four points after leading at every change against Horsham Saints.

Ben Lakin maintained his Toohey Medal form and others such as Tyler Blake and Matt Wynne shone, but the Demons ultimately fell short.

They can’t afford that again in Horsham as Ararat attempts to bounce back from its big loss to Minyip-Murtoa.

STRUGGLE: Horsham Saints’ Will Taylor attempts to hold up Jakob Butcher of Horsham during an intense Wimmera league battle at Coughlin Park in Horsham.

The Saints and Demons are part of a mid-ladder crunch under pacesetters MinyipMurtoa, Stawell and Southern Mallee Giants.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

The Rats had Tom Mills, another enjoying a consistent year, Riley Taylor and Cody Lindsay all in the heat of battle last week, but coach Matt Walder will want a bigger four-quarter effort to topple the Demons.

And then there’s Dimboola! The Roos are sitting fifth with only four

wins and must claim the points in a tough showdown against Nhill.

The Roos are at home but rarely enjoy an easy run against the Tigers who, with Drew Schneider, Ed Pritchard and Jarryd Dahlenburg and Frazer Driscoll, three goals, were more than a little competitive against Stawell.

Race tightens up in district football A

BY DEAN LAWSON

Horsham District football race to the finals will gather momentum this weekend as two competition heavyweights draw swords at Harrow.

Kalkee and Harrow-Balmoral will resume what has become a blossoming rivalry across the past decade with top-six positioning a primary motivation in both camps.

Kalkee sits third on the ladder, only marginally behind Rupanyup by percentage, while Harrow-Balmoral is propped in fifth place, probably a game away from shoring up its position.

Both teams take solid winning form into Saturday’s encounter. They have both won their past three games and secured most by comfortable margins.

Kalkee is fresh from a 40-point win over Natimuk United, dashing expectations of a danger game against the Rams with a five-goals-to-one opening term.

Slick Deek Roberts led the charge, kicking three goals in the process and working alongside Cooper Price, Simon Hobbs and Karl Campbell in the win. Jayden Kuhne also kicked four goals.

At the same time, Harrow-Balmoral parried with Laharum, inaccuracy in front of the sticks allowing its opponents to stay in the contest until deep in the second half.

The Southern Roos, with Will Plush and Callum Hobbs providing primary spark, Scott Addinsall prominent and Simon Close finishing with four goals, eventually beat the home side by 64 points.

The game at Harrow on Saturday is clearly match of the round and considering the talent pool in both camps, could go either way.

Fellow likely finalists Rupanyup, Noradjuha-Quantong and Jeparit-Rainbow will follow developments at Harrow with interest after concentrating on games against Edenhope-Apsley, Pimpinio and Laharum respectively.

Rupanyup will have already pencilled in a big win against EdenhopeApsley, following on from a strong showing against Kaniva-Leeor United.

The Panthers traded blows with the Cougars in an even first term last week before scooting away with a seven-goal second term that evolved into a 76-point victory.

Jack Musgrove proved a major difference between the teams, kicking eight goals for the winners, while Mitch Gleeson and Paul Trotter were also prominent.

Edenhope-Apsley was on the receiving end against Swifts, which is also part of the bubbling finals mix.

The Saints managed only two goals against the Baggies, failing to keep

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER pace with the home side and finishing on the receiving end by 112 points.

Shayne Williams, Jeremy Kealy, Clint Rokebrand and Cody Honner shared best-player votes.

Ladder-leading Noradjuha-Quantong meets Pimpinio, having dispatched Taylors Lake in a show of strength by 117 points.

The footy gods are so far smiling on the Bombers with Dylan Bushby, seven goals, and Cam Bruce, four,

finishing the work from the likes of James Gregg, Jack Vague and Taylor Whitworth at the weekend.

Pimpinio, meanwhile, battled gamely against Jeparit-Rainbow, finally succumbing by 57 points as Dylan Baker, Liam Jakobi and Harry Bigmore took on the Storm challenge.

Jeparit-Rainbow failed to shrug the Tigers off until the second half, Jacob Cocks, Simon Clugston and Jay Kirwood key players in the win. Ash

Clugston also kicked three goals. The Storm will strongly back themselves against Laharum, which is relying heavily on ruckman-forward Shannon Argall as Tom Crawford and Ben Peucker continue to set a standard for the Mountain Men. Swifts, sitting sixth on the ladder, loom as finals wildcards and should be too strong for Natimuk United at Natimuk.

The Baggies’ Scott Carey is one of the best players in the competition and Todd Matthews has a great knack of finding the goals, bagging another seven at the weekend to take his season tally to 30.

Zac Armer and Kobe Smith were also good in the team’s win against Edenhope-Apsley.

Sweeping Kyal Murray, hard-working Sam Anson and Mitch Riddell were the Rams’ best in a hard day at the office against Kalkee last week.

To say the Rams need to fire on Saturday to challenge for a top-six spot would be an understatement.

A fascinating contest between Kaniva-Leeor United and Taylors Lake at Kaniva completes the round and a priceless win is up for grabs.

Hamish Bennett won best-player accolades for the Cougars against Rupanyup last week, ahead of Liam Vivian and Ray Smith, while the Lakers had Joe Watkins, Billy Finnigan and Codi Kenny catching attention.

Top-five battle heating up A

fight for swinging top-five positions in Wimmera Netball league will continue in earnest on Saturday with Stawell, Dimboola, Horsham Saints and Ararat attempting to hold positions or stay in touch with leaders.

With Southern Mallee Giants clear competition leaders followed by Horsham and Warrack Eagles, little separates teams sitting fourth to seventh.

Ararat, two games outside the five, might be out of the hunt. But sixthplaced Horsham Saints are only a game off the pace while Stawell and Dimboola are on the same points in fourth and fifth spots respectively.

Perhaps the best match of the round will come between Stawell and Warrack Eagles, with Stawell attempting to reverse results from earlier in the year.

Stawell beat Nhill 56-39 last week and meets an Eagles side on the rebound from a narrow 33-37 loss to the Giants.

The Warriors will find it tough going against the Eagles who took it right up to the Giants last week despite the absence of Megan Werner.

The Eagles also have a good record against the Warriors, who will unlikely have Jemma Clarkson on the court.

Courtney McIlvride along with juniors Molly Orr and Madi Taylor will need to play smart and determined netball against a relentless Eagles cen-

tre court of Emma Koschitzke, Sarah Spicer and Kiani Stewart.

Stawell’s Lisa Fleming and Rachel Wood will need to be tough in defence and rebound well against Molly Stewart and Briodi McKenzie.

Dimboola, meanwhile, will be desperate to stay in the top five and should be too strong for Nhill.

The Roos had a solid win over the Tigers earlier in the year and have had Olivia Jorgensen, Ruby Redford and Emily Polack reliable in defence.

Nhill’s Jenna Schneider has a niggling injury which might slow her and Claudia McRae down in goals.

Meaghan Pohlner and Steph Glover have been solid through the centre for the Roos.

Ararat might find itself further off the pace if it loses to Horsham and after a 35-42 loss to Minyip-Murtoa.

Horsham’s height will be too much for Ararat to overcome. The likes of Racquel Scott, Tahnee Walker, Brooke Currie and Jesse Bligh will have their work cut out for them against Horsham’s attacking end of Georgia Hiscock, Emma Buwalda, Georgie Carberry and Paula Wiedermann, who is hard to rebound against when she plants herself under the ring.

Horsham beat the Saints 67-36 last week.

Minyip-Murtoa also has a huge job to match Southern Mallee Giants but

TOUGH TO MATCH: Horsham’s Paula Wiedermann gets sandwiched

would have been delighted with a victory over Ararat last week.

The Giants are a formidable outfit and their height and toughness will be too much for the Burras.

Giants Steph Thomson and Zali Brown have been consistent, which means Stacey Arnold and Ellie McGrath will need to work overtime to shut them down.

Georgia McLennan, Maddi Morgan and Molly Fagan will need to use all their skills to present options in attack for the Burras to get around Brylee

Schache, Caitlin Hickey and Maddelyne Shannon.

Horsham Saints have a bye.

Results: Minyip-Murtoa d Ararat 3542, Horsham d Horsham Saints 67-36, Stawell d Nhill 56-39, Southern Mallee Giants d Warrack Eagles 37-33.

McDonald, Caris make Fury squad Wimmera netballers Sacha McDonald and Maggie Caris have won selection to a Victorian Fury squad ahead of Australian Netball Championships in September.

McDonald, from Edenhope, is a Melbourne Vixens squad member and plays for Victorian Netball League side Casey Demons.

Caris, from Horsham, plays for Melbourne University Lightning and was also drafted to AFLW outfit Melbourne in October last year.

Both have previously represented the Fury.

The Australian Netball Championships, to be contested in Traralgon in September, is a new-look pathway competition replacing the Australian Netball League.

It will act as a feeder competition to Suncorp Super Netball and will be contested from September 11 to 19.

Natimuk in running

N

atimuk United kept its Horsham District A Grade finals hopes alive with a thrilling onegoal win over Kalkee on Saturday.

The match was a nail-biter from the opening whistle, with the Kees taking a one-goal lead into the first break.

The Rams were up by five at half time, with Aleisha Rintoule shooting 12 goals for the quarter, before the Kees narrowed the buffer to two goals by the final break.

Kalkee shot eight goals to the Rams’ seven to fall short by a lone goal, 36-37.

Rintoule and defender Casey Vanstan were best for the winners, with Kees’ newcomer Casey Jess, in goal keeper, and centre Mille McRae also winning accolades.

Both outfits sit just outside the top six, trailing Swifts by four points, and are in dire need of another win.

But both will face opponents with something to prove.

Seventh-placed Kalkee will meet a fired-up Harrow-Balmoral, which has dropped to third following a loss to ladder leader Laharum.

The match was a physical one fought out in wet conditions, which did nothing for the Southern Roos, who like to play a long game through the centre third.

Laharum defender Rebecca McIntyre enjoyed a best-on-court performance

for her 250th A Grade game, 50th with the Demons, majorly restricting Roos spearhead Kirby Knight.

Up the other end, defenders Ebonie Salter and Kate Vickery were holding their own against ladder-leading shooters Caitlin Dumesny and Maddie Iredell, but the margin blew out when Vickery went down with an ankle injury in the third term.

The Demons midcourt made good use of its strength and experience despite what was at times a scrappy encounter, although Harrow-Balmoral’s Amber McClure won praise for her performance in wing defence.

Laharum led by eight goals at half time but poured on the goals in the second half to win by 22, 45-23.

Harrow-Balmoral will regroup throughout the week ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Kalkee.

Both Kees goalies shot at 50 percent last week and will need to step up against the Southern Roos – a hard task against high-calibre defenders in Salter and Vickery.

If Vickery is out this week, there could be some holes in the side’s defence, however the Roos will be keen for a steadier performance and will take no prisoners.

Laharum will meet fifth-placed Jeparit-Rainbow, which will throw everything it has at the reigning premier.

Defender Penny Fisher will have an important role curbing Laharum’s

shooters, but the Storm’s goalies will no doubt be smothered by the Demons.

Laharum will be too strong across the court although the Storm will not back down and will take confidence from a comprehensive win over Pimpinio, 84-26.

Georgia Batson, 41, and Breanna Eastick, 43, shared the load, with Fisher impressing through centre as well as defence.

Defenders Deni Sordello and Anna Habel battled hard all day for the Tigers.

Pimpinio will not find the going any easier this week, up against Noradjuha-Quantong.

The Bombers are now sitting clear in second spot and will be thinking about percentage while trying to retain the double chance.

Two other teams with their eye on the bigger picture are Natimuk United and Swifts, who will meet in Stawell.

Swifts will be desperate to hold on to sixth spot, while the Rams have not given up hope of a finals berth.

If Jo Taylor returns for the Rams, it will be a case of one of the league’s best defensive combinations against a couple of talented shooters in Michaela Armer – 36 goals against Edenhope-Apsley last week – and offsider Jade Ralph, 26.

This match will be a close one and both sides will need to give it their

Pimpinio won the match 38-23 but will find the going tougher against NoradjuhaQuantong this week.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER all. Swifts might just get over the line.

The Baggies led all the way against Edenhope-Apsley last week to triumph 57-28.

The Saints worked hard but are still developing.

Carly Feder shot 19 goals and will be a key player against Rupanyup this week.

The Saints will back themselves to score a win after a few tough weeks, but this is another encounter that could go either way.

If the Panthers can get their goalies firing they might just get over the line.

Defenders Kayla Woods, Rupanyup, and Dulcie Shirrefs, Edenhope-Apsley, will also influence proceedings.

The Panthers will also be keen for a shot at the winners list after a tough

loss to Kaniva-Leeor United, 33-61.

Gemma Morgan was a shining light in centre, with goalie Nikki Hawker and wing attack Lauren Tink combining well for the Cougars.

Kaniva-Leeor United has a bye this week.

Coaches enthusiastic, experienced F

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

reshly appointed Horsham Hornets head coaches Scott Benbow and Rebecca McIntyre will continue their focus on junior development through their senior roles.

Horsham Amateur Basketball Association leaders have appointed Benbow as men’s coach and McIntyre as women’s coach for the 2021-22 Country Basketball League season.

Benbow said he was ‘pumped’ for his first term as an independent coach after several years as assistant coach.

“I was assistant coach under my mentor Owen Hughan for several years in the 2000s and also with my close mate Tim Pickert, so this was always a step I wanted to take,” he said.

Benbow has also played a major role in the association’s junior representative program.

He plans to continue junior development in senior ranks and said he looked forward to getting the Hornets program up and running again.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to be the head coach of the Hornets,” he said.

Benbow said although it was hard to gauge what the final squad would look like, he expected the Hornets to be ‘fun to watch’.

“We will be young, fast and exciting,” he said.

“It’s hard to get people to commit to basketball during footy season so we will just wait and see, but I think we should have at least 20 kids – including seniors – who are keen to try out.”

McIntyre is fresh off an assistant coaching role for Victoria Country under-18 women’s team at the Australian Junior Championships and boasts a wealth of experience as a player and coach.

She said she was proud to take on the Lady Hornets’ head coaching role after four and a half years back involved with HABA. “For the past two years I have been involved in the state program, as part of the under-18 Victoria Country girls team,” she said.

“A lot of the stuff I was exposed to and was learning is much easier to put into practice in a senior type of game.

“After reaching that level of junior coaching, the next step for me is to try senior coaching. I will always be passionate about juniors and will still be involved. This way, I will get to be at the top end of their development as well.

“I’m super grateful for the opportunity and that HABA has put their confidence in me.

“It’s definitely out of my comfort zone as a coach, but I am looking forward to the challenge.”

McIntyre said tryouts would be in the next four to eight weeks.

“We’re mindful that football and netball are still running,” she said.

“The season usually kicks off in October so we want to get back into it slowly. A lot of the girls haven’t picked up a basketball in 18 months.

Their fitness isn’t really an issue, it’s just those on-court skills we need to work on.

“We struggle to get a lot of women for our program so we will look to ease into it. I’m hopeful we’ll have quite a few people come along to tryouts, keen to be involved.

“I am looking forward to it.”

President Jon Fitzgerald said he was thrilled to secure senior representative coaches following a year off the court thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been one of the biggest priorities for me personally, to get coaches signed as soon as possible,” he said.

“We made the tough call last year not to enter teams in the men’s or women’s competitions. We’re not necessarily making up for lost time, but we want people to know we are moving forward and there are a lot of exciting things happening.

“We have two brilliant coaches who are fairly well-known in the wider basketball community and I can’t wait for the senior tip-off later in the year.

“Our aim is to make the Hornets Nest the place to be on Saturday nights when we’re playing at home, the way it used to be.”

WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE: Scott Benbow and Rebecca McIntyre have been appointed head coaches of Horsham Hornets’ men’s and women’s teams respectively, ahead of the 2021-22 Country Basketball League season.

escheduled Victorian Country Volleyball Championships will add to what is shaping up as a big second half of the year for Volleyball Horsham members.

With the championships now from September 24-26, which for most people is outside the local football-netball season, Volleyball Horsham will be going back to the drawing board and readvertising selection trials for teams to participate in the event.

For many members who play Saturday sport, the opportunity to participate in the championships might have been off their radar.

But now the opportunity to participate is open and dual-sport Volleyball Horsham members can confidently proceed to trial knowing they won’t have to make a choice between their two sports.

The first of three weeks of selection trials is set for Tuesday, July 27 at Horsham College gym.

The championships will add to what is a burgeoning calendar of events for members in the second half of the year.

With the threat of COVID-19 still hanging over the heads of community sport, and the potential of the State Government calling a snap lockdown at any stage, Volleyball Horsham has made the decision to have a quick turnaround between seasons and scheduled an earlier than usual start for its winter season.

The plan is to get underway on July 21 for A, A Reserve and B grades, with July 26 the scheduled start date for C and junior grades.

Beer might have been unlucky not to have won over the same distance on May 30 when she finished fourth, just two minutes from the winner after a wrong turn cost her an estimated 500 metres.

After that effort, and after stripping 1.20 minutes from her previous best in an Ararat parkrun, the writing was on the road that she would soon break through for her maiden win.

It was her willingness to try parkruns and the urgings of coach Sue Blizzard that gave her the confidence to tackle longer distances, on tougher courses, in a competitive environment.

The club returns to McDonald Park on Sunday for an eight-kilometre Fenn Family Handicap.

The race starts at 9.45am and fun runners are welcome.

Cheers to Beer’s winning way Natalie Beer is 42 and ‘was always terrible at sports’.

She never thought she’d ever run eight kilometres in her lifetime, but now, much to her surprise she won a cross-country race at Ararat on Sunday over exactly that distance.

“I can’t believe that I’m a runner,” she said, after leading for most of the way in a Gallagher Family Handicap before holding on grimly to defy fast-finishing backmarkers Andrew Reynolds and Gabe Tonks, who closed to within 13 seconds of the winner.

“I reached the seven-kilometre mark and I was wondering when the yellow shirts – the Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club colours – would run past me,” Beer said.

“The thought crept into my head that I wanted to stop, but I knew I couldn’t do that so late in the race, so I willed myself on.”

Volleyball Horsham has also decided to play during the September school holidays, to keep members preparing for country championships on the court, while at the same time scheduling as many matches as possible should bad news come from Spring Street.

With plenty of volleyball scheduled for the domestic front, and the country championships the goal for all members, there will be many opportunities to keep members enthused.

For Volleyball Horsham members involved with Phantoms and the change in finals structure from final fours to final sixes or eights, an opportunity exists to play finals in state league, so it is important for those members to keep their eye in by playing as much as possible.

For junior members, their first opportunity will be Bendigo’s Junior Dragon City one-day tournament on September 5, to which Volleyball Horsham will be looking to send open and under-17 boys and girls teams.

Following that will be the country championships and then the tournament season starts with Bendigo at the end of October, Horsham on November 20-21 and the Volleyball Victoria Junior Open at the start of December.

There is good reason to get involved in what Volleyball Horsham has to offer, especially for juniors and all of our members.

Volleyball Horsham invites teams and individuals interested in participating in the winter season to register that interest, by sending details to info@volleyballhorsham.com.au.
