GOAT YOUR ATTENTION: Olivia Deverall, 2, looks to feed a miniature goat a snack as they become captivated by something in the distance. The goat belongs to Olivia’s neighbour Tracy Matthews, who will be among stud breeders competing at a miniature-goat event at Horsham Showground on Saturday. Miniature Goats Australia, MGA, will host its inaugural Christmas show in the rural city, which Mrs Matthews hopes will become an annual event. Story, page 5. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Independent bid A

BY DEAN LAWSON

belief in need for independent representation has fuelled Horsham businesswoman Claudia Haenel’s declaration to stand for Mallee in next year’s Federal Election.

Ms Haenel, 53, who lives at St Helens Plains southeast of Horsham and is already a Horsham municipal councillor, said she had nominated ‘to get a new deal’ for the electorate. She said socio-economic opportunities would blossom for the region as Australia emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic and there was a de-

sire for an independent voice free of political-party doctrine and influence. “I like the fact that I can be an independent for the community and not beholden to any political parties or points of view,” she said. “I believe this brings more bargaining chips for our community to the table – greater leverage that comes with a seat becoming more marginal, so we can see more action and delivery for the region than we currently have.” Ms Haenel said she wanted to be a voice for the region and if she won the seat would bank on her ‘moral compass’ when making tough decisions. “In our democracy we should have

diversity in voice. For a long time we’ve been a safe stronghold for the National Party. That means we’re too easily overlooked in Canberra. That has to change,” she said. “I’m confident this seat is definitely winnable and I represent the winds of change. “How often do we hear that nothing happens in our part of the world because we’re in one of the safest seats in Australia? Well, I’m here to try to change that. “This isn’t about being critical of individuals who been in the seat in the past. I absolutely respect all of them – in fact some have provided me with

inspiration for how they have tried and worked hard to do their bit. “Yet, while we have some wins, there is much more to be gained and I believe we can get more from Canberra if we get more marginal. “My nomination is more about what I can bring to the table irrespective of what’s happened in the past.”

Diversity

Ms Haenel is a third-generation Wimmera resident and has work background in media, health and agricultural sectors. She has travelled throughout Australia, living in many capital cities,

and spent two years in the United Kingdom while working in the media industry. “I believe I provide a diversity in wealth of life experiences, having travelled abroad and worked in everything from the corporate world to shearing sheds,” she said. “It is life experience that I bring to the table. I believe people are generally yearning for leaders who have real-life experiences behind them – not simply on a pre-determined path into politics where there is a risk of them not being or losing touch with the average person.” Continued page 3

Health minister tours region

ictorian Health Minister Martin Foley will visit Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital today as part of a whirlwind tour of medical services and upgrades across the region.

Mr Foley had a first-hand look at $8.7-million upgrades at East Grampians Health Service’s Ararat Hospital and $1.45-million work at Stawell Regional Health before travelling to Horsham. He met with Dale Fraser, who heads up Grampians Health created from a merger between Ballarat, Wimmera, Stawell and Edenhope health services, while in Stawell. Mr Foley also caught up with Wimmera Health Care Group officials for discussions yesterday and will officially open aged-care developments during his west Wimmera visit. His Wimmera tour comes after he gave the go-ahead for the health-service merger, which had polarised public opinion and generated extensive community debate. Mr Foley made the most of his Ararat visit to assess progress of Ararat

Hospital’s multi-million-dollar project to redevelop and expand the hospital’s theatre, radiology and pathology services and to relocate palliative care services. The government funded the project through its Regional Health Infrastructure Fund. Theatre redevelopment will increase East Grampians Health Service’s perioperative capability and is designed to reduce waiting lists in the region. Funding will also boost the number of day procedure beds to eight and recovery beds to four. An upgraded central sterile supply department will provide doctors and nurses at Ararat Hospital with reusable medical equipment to get more people off waiting lists and into surgery. Improving access and efficiency in the health service’s radiology, pathology and medical-imaging department will help meet demand, and relocating palliative-care services will provide greater privacy for families. Funding for Stawell Regional Health is also coming from the latest RHIF funding round.

More than $995,000 will go towards buying new theatre equipment, including surgical laparoscopic cameras, portable ultrasound machine, anaesthetic machine, ENT microscope, a diathermy unit as well as theatre beds and trolleys. A further $457,000 will upgrade fire-detection systems. “The latest investment builds on more than $6-million in RHIF funding for Stawell Regional Health for projects including critical infrastructure upgrades, sterilising and storage upgrades, ICT system upgrades and nurse-call systems,” Mr Foley said. “Over the past two years, our hospitals and health-care services have been at the heart of our communities, providing vital care to Victorians during the global pandemic.” Central Wimmera health-service advocates have also been vocal this year in calling for greater infrastructure funding for Wimmera Base Hospital. Former Wimmera surgeon Ian Campbell said in February that considerable capital work was needed in Horsham to keep the hospital functioning. He said at the time: “The current

accident and emergency department is physically too small for the patient numbers that go through and to maintain any pretence of patient privacy let alone social distancing to meet COVID or future infection-control requirements. “The current operating theatres have major deficiencies with air-conditioning, particularly in hot weather, and require a substantial amount of work to improve these up to expected standards. Wimmera Health Care Group nursing homes in Horsham are also in need of major capital works or replacement.” The government established the RHIF in 2016-17 to help regional and rural health services improve the safety and quality of services, service capacity, models of care, patient and staff amenity, and service efficiency. It has since funded more than 488 infrastructure projects. The government further boosted the RHIF in the 2020-21 Victorian Budget 2020-21 with an additional $20-million bringing total funding to $490-million.

Claudia Haenel

Independent bid From page 1 Ms Haenel said regardless of a commitment she would make to her election campaign, she would remain focused on her role as a councillor with Horsham Rural City Council. “I consider this a natural progression for me. As I’ve entered local government and tasted community issues it’s spurred me on to advocate and be a voice for my community and region – something that has always been part of my life,” she said. “Now that I’ve announced my intentions I have to consolidate my election-support team and get out to meet people across Mallee to explore their needs, concerns and opportunities. “I am a practical person who seeks out practical solutions. In agriculture, energy, transport and education, there are practical solutions out there that are a win-win for our economy, our people and our environment. “If we find ways for our homes, business and farms to become more self-sufficient by creating our own practical solutions, we can set ourselves up for employment opportunities and build sustainable regional centres for generations to come.” Sitting Member for Mallee, the Nationals’ Anne Webster, welcomed Ms Haenel’s nomination. “I respect and admire anyone who puts their hand up for this calling to serve their community and represent the diverse view of this very broad electorate,” she said. The Federal Government has yet to announce a date for next year’s election. Many political commentators are predicting a May ballot.

Home for ticket agency

ssues surrounding public transport in the Wimmera’s major centre have taken another turn with a Horsham V-Line ticketing agency set to operate from the rural city’s library.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy confirmed the agency development, 11 months after the retirement of Horsham’s long-time Roberts Avenue coach terminal manager Roger Muszkieta. The move adds another chapter to a long-running community campaign to return domestic passenger-rail services to the Wimmera’s heart. Many advocates have argued that a return to domestic V-Line passenger rail beyond minimal Overland train services would automatically re-establish a train and bus hub at Horsham Railway Station. Ms Kealy, who had raised concerns in State Parliament in October about how long it was taking to establish a Horsham agency, said she was pleased Horsham Library would soon take on the role of V-Line ticketing agent. “Despite the Minister for Public Transport’s assurance that the service would continue, central Wimmera residents have been unable to pre-buy a bus ticket

“While it is good news that we finally have a local V-Line ticketing agency again, it is unacceptable that it has taken almost a year for this service to be restored in Horsham, our largest regional centre”

– Emma Kealy

in person locally for months,” she said. “I have also continued to be contacted by a large number of seniors wishing to use their Public Transport Victoria-issued free travel vouchers. “They have reported that V-Line drivers are reluctant to process these vouchers because they don’t have access to the V-Line ticketing program on their coaches. “Other seniors have been told they must travel to the nearest V-Line ticketing agent in the first instance – almost an hour away in Stawell or Ararat – to have these vouchers processed before they can use a service. “This situation has created much distress and inequity for local seniors who don’t have the same access to use the travelvoucher scheme as seniors who live in

metropolitan Melbourne or regional cities with a V-Line ticketing agent.” Ms Kealy said other constituents had also been unable to buy a bus ticket in person since Mr Muszkieta’s retirement, with V-Line drivers processing tickets when time allowed or people needing to buy them online. “This is simply not possible for some local residents who do not have a computer or the skills required to purchase a ticket online,” she said. “While it is good news that we finally have a local V-Line ticketing agency again, it is unacceptable that it has taken almost a year for this service to be restored in Horsham, our largest regional centre. “It is also unfair on some of our local seniors who have missed out on opportunities to use their PTV free travel vouchers. “Public transport services in the Wimmera and western Victoria are already extremely limited.” Ms Kealy called on Public Transport Minister Ben Carroll to direct Public Transport Victoria to ensure regional residents had support to take advantage ‘of the few services we have’ and ‘not further disadvantaged by situations like they have experienced over the past year’.

Miniature-goat breeders set for showcase Miniature-goat breeders from seven studs will showcase their animals at an inaugural Christmas event at Horsham Showground on Saturday. Miniature Goats Australia, MGA, will host the event, open to miniature goats from all associations. Tracy Matthews of Kokoda Miniature Goats, Riverside, said she hoped the Christmas show would become an annual event. “This is the first of hopefully many with MGA at Horsham Showground,” she said. “Judging starts at 11am and the public can attend free of charge.” Mrs Matthews said the show had attracted 72 entries from seven studs. She said breeders from South Australia were hoping to attend but much would depend on latest border rules. Mrs Matthews has been breeding goats for the past seven years. “I breed them and sell them and show them when I can,” she said. “I promised my husband I’d never, ever have any more than 10 and I’m up to 15.

Carols appreciation Horsham Carols by Candlelight organisers are thrilled with initial traction for their new-look online format, titled Road to Christmas. The virtual plan temporarily replaces an annual in-person event at Horsham Soundshell, designed to negate ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 restrictions and vaccination requirements. Event co-ordinator Simon Dandy said the committee had so far released three performances via Facebook and Instagram for the 12-part presentation. “We’ve had some great feedback online and encourage people to ‘like’ and ‘share’ the videos along with letting the artists know they’ve done a great job,” he said. Horsham Arts Council kicked off proceedings on December 2, bringing a ‘swing vibe’ to classic carol ‘Jingle Bells’. Horsham School of Music secondary students followed suit with ‘Joy to the World’. The students, from years eight to 11, have been having singing lessons with Lisa Thomas and hail from Horsham, Hamilton, Haven and Rupanyup. On Monday, viewers were treated to a duet by Grace O’Donnell-Clancy and Jamie Thomas, singing O Holy Night. Acousticus Stomp frontman Paul Christopher said he and bandmates Malcolm Schier and Jono Martin loved the opportunity to participate in this year’s carols. “Jono our guitarist has been involved in carols for years, I did one years ago and we thought it would be a good thing to be involved in for the community,” he said. “Malcolm lives at Murtoa so he asked if we could use the iconic stick shed for our performance. They agreed and let us do it free of charge. The video came up really well. “We were probably in there for about three or four hours, it doesn’t just come together in two minutes. But it was a nice thing to do for the community. We enjoyed it and I hope others do too. “Hopefully next year we can be back to an in-person event but I think, particularly given COVID as well as the unpredictable weather we’ve had lately, this year’s format is a good option.” Acousticus Stomp’s version of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ will be released at some stage this month. Organisers are keeping the schedule a surprise and will upload a video every second day until Christmas Eve. – Sarah Matthews

“Then when I moved here and onto a bit of acreage, I saw an article on miniature goats and thought that’s what I need.” Mrs Matthews said rearing goats was therapeutic. “Even though I was into horses for most of my life,

these are a better size for me,” she said. “Goats are very loving and very good emotionally – if you’re having a bad day, go and sit out in the paddock with the goats.” – Sarah Matthews

Pondering the value of a vote A

declaration from Horsham district’s Claudia Haenel to stand as an independent in next year’s Federal Election has raised a hoary old question about what’s politically best for the Wimmera-Mallee.

Many suggest being in long-term politically safe federal and state electorates, regardless of which side of politics is involved, automatically applies the brakes on a region’s growth and development. Their argument is that there is little need to impress people in these electorates to win votes, so investment or investment promises go elsewhere. Others, on the other hand, argue just as strongly that having a sense of solidarity and a consistent presence reflective of on-the-ground representation is far better in gaining influence, investment and growth. They argue that it’s better to be in a position where a representative has opportunity to be part of government. Apply party politics and persuasion, and

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

suddenly there is an extra complexity to this electoral melting pot. So in steps the idea of independent candidates to, in theory at least, try to get the best of both political worlds in a hope of controlling the balance of power and – to use a line from Democrats’ inaugural leader Don Chipp – ‘keep the bastards honest’. There is legitimacy in all these points of view but we can’t help but wonder whether, in the end, it all really comes down to how we consider or perceive individual candidates. Call it human nature or something different, but people, despite being armed with clear knowledge about what it means to vote in a particular way, will often simply

vote for someone or something about a candidate they know, like or respect through association. In years of covering Wimmera elections, perhaps the most common response from people asked why they voted a particular way goes something like, ‘because I like her, or him, more than the others’. So much for tactical political manoeuvring. With federal and state elections looming next year we can expect a bombardment of political messaging to start growing on various media platforms as we enter a new year. We should never take our democratic right to vote in a democracy for granted – some people around the world don’t have the privilege of having high levels of self-determination. So when it comes to the polls, regardless of whether you live in a ‘swinging’ or ‘safe’ seat, continue to consider the people putting up their hands. But also think about the broader options, which should be based on platforms and policy.

McDonald Steel Horsham has the following job available for immediate start...

IN THE KNOW: Agriculture Victoria senior research scientist Glenn Fitzgerald, left, and research scientist Alex Clancy assess data in front of one of the mobile trolleys involved in a research project.

World-first tech

ssessing the ability of broadacre grain crops to grow in a climate of weather extremes is the subject of a project underway in Horsham.

Vecteezy.com

Horsham, with a reputation as a ‘hot spot’ for research into elevated greenhouse conditions on crops, is now home to the world’s first Free Air Temperature Extreme, FATE, facility. The State Government has invested $700,000 into FATE at Horsham SmartFarm on the rural city’s western fringe in efforts to ensure grain growers into the future remain productive and adaptable to climate change. The research is based on mobile ‘trolleys’ fitted with radiant heaters that can simulate extreme weather, including heat waves and frost, to measure how cereal, oil and pulse crops perform under the conditions in open-field environments. The FATE facility can apply specific temperatures at specific times to capture open-air data that supports development of grain-growing planning. It will also help farmers understand how environmental factors affect the response of new crop varieties, their resistance to pests and disease, and crop-production techniques. The FATE centre will also provide researchers with data for use in computer-simulation models to forecast grain-growing options for regions without access to the on-ground technology. Agriculture Victoria senior research scientist at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park Glenn Fitzgerald said the project had been in a proofof-concept stage. “It is undergoing testing and engineering assessments and we expect to have it fully operational in 2022,” he said. “We will have four of these trolleys, measuring about four and half metres tall with heaters we will be able to lower and raise over crops in the subject area. “It’s about better understanding how varieties of crops respond to heat waves, which with climate change are expected to become more frequent and severe.

“The project allows us to do multiple experiments in one facility. Being in an open environment, we can sow as normal and basically control the environment around a crop. “Breeders, in developing crop varieties they believe are heat tolerant, will be able to put them to the test. They will have the option of saying ‘let’s put them under FATE to see if they are going to perform as we think’. We will also be able to test for different cross-management – whether it be through stubble retention, row spacing – that might impact on a crop’s heat tolerance and to test whether it can maintain yield into the future.”

STRUCTURAL STEEL WELDER

If you love welding, and would like to be a part of one of the largest shed manufacturers in the Wimmera - this is the job for you! The position requires sound maths knowledge, a high level of attention to detail, and the ability to work unsupervised and in a team environment. Well above award wages paid and overtime will be available. For more details on this exciting opportunity contact McDonald Steel on (03) 5381 0992 Please email your resume to mcdonaldsteel@bigpond.com.au

Opportunities

Mr Fitzgerald said FATE could also assess the impact of frost on crop varieties using reference samples with targeted heating at night. He also plans for the project overall to involve more than closed-sector research and provide demonstration opportunities to the public. “We expect students and tours to come through and see how it works. Collaboration and demonstration is part of this – to inform the public what we’re doing,” he said. Mr Fitzgerald said crops research in Horsham worked in an integrated way and often involved scientists from different disciplines. “We are creating opportunities through technological development for scientists to work as teams. Working with the prospect of climate change can get complicated and this facility will address some of those questions that need answering.” Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green was in Horsham late last week to launch the FATE facility. “This is an example of innovative technology being used to modernise and protect our agricultural sector,” she said. “By backing experimental research, we are building a knowledge bank that will help Victorian farmers increase their productivity, profitability and sustainability in the face of extreme weather events.”

Slow start to social housing project

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has criticised the State Government for failing to identify a site, ‘let alone draw up plans and lodge planning permits’ for a new 31-home social housing project in Horsham.

Ms Kealy said the project had become ‘an absolute fiasco’, after the government announced the project as ‘shovel ready’ and to start by the end of the year. “However, months later no land has been acquired, no planning permits issued, no drawings produced and no contract in existence,” she said. Ms Kealy said social housing waiting list data for September 2021

showed Horsham’s list had reached an all-time high, with 577 vulnerable families waiting for homes. “It’s an increase of 343, or 146.58 percent, since Labor was elected in 2014,” she said. Statewide, the total number of applicants on the government’s priority housing wait list has almost doubled, rising from 9990 applicants in September 2014 to 19,279 applicants in September 2021. Priority applicants include the most vulnerable community members, those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, escaping domestic violence or living with a disability or special housing need. “I have been told that some sup-

port agencies are no longer referring vulnerable people to the waiting list because they know they will never get a home,” Ms Kealy said. “It is astounding that Labor recently called for community housing agencies to put forward proposals for new social housing projects in regional Victoria when they haven’t even struck a blow on the ‘shovel ready’ Horsham project. “The Andrews Labor government has had seven years to fix this but has failed vulnerable families both in Horsham and right across the state. Yet again, what Labor say and what they do are two entirely different things.” A Department of Families, Fairness and Housing spokesperson said

Homes Victoria was continuing to work with community housing partner Haven; Home, Safe to find an appropriate site to deliver the project. “An announcement is expected to be made about the new site in coming weeks,” they said. “Under the record $5.3-billion Big Housing Build, Horsham has been guaranteed at least $15-million in government investment in new social and affordable housing. The Rapid Grants Round of the Social Housing Growth Fund will deliver 2352 new social homes across 38 local government areas – the biggest investment allocation announced to date.” Projects under the Social Housing Growth Fund are owned, led and de-

livered by community housing agencies, with Homes Victoria providing grant funding to support projects as they progress. The spokesperson said Haven; Home Safe had advised the government that its original Horsham site was no longer available. They said work to find an appropriate site was ongoing and the project would be delivered through development partner, Elmstone. Haven; Home Safe’s project will build units suited to singles, couples and small families who currently live in the Horsham area or with close connections to the community through work, family or support networks.

Pitcha Makin Fellas to host workshops The Pitcha Makin Fellas, a First Nations art group, will run workshops at Natimuk Primary School this weekend. Trudy Edgeley, Adrian Rigney, Ted Laxton and Thomas Marks will use inspiration from Horsham ecologist and authour Steffen Schultz’s book Gariwerd Colours – Plants of the Grampians. Artists will learn about stamp making and print

techniques and will use a fridge as a canvas. The finished pieces will feature at next year’s Nati Frinj Biennale. Saturday’s workshops are from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm. A Sunday session will start at 10am. Workshops are free but numbers are limited. People can book online at trybooking. com/BVZNP.

The rock ’n’ roll dance club planned to celebrate its anniversary on June 26, but COVID-19 forced a postponement. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Rockers celebrate anniversary Following the postponement of a dance planned for June, Horsham Rockers members were finally able to celebrate the club’s 25th anniversary in style at the weekend. President Wayne Lang said the event went off without a hitch, with about 50 people taking to the floor at Horsham Table Tennis Association in Kalkee Road. “We had to postpone our event back in June because COVID was back, which was disappointing, but December 4 proved to be our lucky night,” he said. “We had the Hip Katz – Heather and David – play the music and they were great. “Charter members Ross Warrick, Denise Hobson-Warrick, Jenny Lawes, Margaret Finn and Dianne Bolwell were all present and cut the anniversary cake.” Mr Lang said the group’s inaugural meeting was on April 16, 1996, in Horsham Masonic Hall.

“The first president was Chris Hamerston and the first secretary was Carolyn Smith,” he said. “Charter members were Dianne Bolwell, Paul Holmes, B. King, S. King, Jenny Lawes, Barry Lawes, Margaret Finn, John Finn, Ken Wooltorton, Denise Hobson-Warrick, Ross Warrick, Robyn Watts, Brian Watts, Margaret Wild and M. Vanner.” Mr Lang said the club would look into hosting a mid-year dance in June or July, provided it could fit in with events organised by other clubs. “We will also be looking forward to our main dance of the year, which is always the last weekend of October, before the Melbourne Cup,” he said. “We call it Rockin’ at the Races, it’s at Horsham Town Hall and is well supported by people from places such as South Australia, Ballarat and Colac.” – Sarah Matthews

Group protests energy project A

BY NICK RIDLEY

petition objecting to a western Victorian electrical transmission project that would further tap into renewable energy has more than 12,000 signatures.

Save Wattle Flat group from Hepburn Shire has gathered names as part of a protest against a multi-million-dollar Western Victorian Transmission Network Project. New transmission infrastructure is designed to connect energy-generating farms in the Wimmera and Western District to Melbourne. Energy company AusNet is planning the project as Victoria works towards replacing its reliance on energy from coalfired stations in the state’s east to wind, solar and other renewable resources in the state’s west. The petition is reflective of community sentiment building between Melbourne and Ballarat but in conflict with Wimmera-Mallee expectations the project will open millions of dollars in development opportunities. A Wimmera development leader estimated the project would generate about $10-billion in investment and lead to about an extra 600 wind towers in the Wimmera-southern Mallee. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said western Victoria was the perfect place to build the transmission lines. “Western Victoria is perfect for wind and solar energy – the issue is there are

“The whole state and region are the winners regarding this project. It means we can lower our emissions and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”

– Chris Sounness

not enough power lines to get power into the grid,” he said. AusNet began a second round of community consultation last week after releasing a planned route for line infrastructure. The project would include major electrical towers running across the landscape. The plan involves 190 kilometres of transmission-line infrastructure running from Bulgana near Great Western in the Wimmera to Melbourne’s northwest. The Wattle Flat group, a community collective behind the petition, has called on Member for Hume Angus Taylor and Council of Australian Governments Energy Council to complete an independent cost-benefit analysis of the project. They have asked the report to address the effects on natural habitats, biodiversity and wildlife safety and the aesthetic benefit to tourism and liveability. Despite community concerns in Hepburn Shire, Mr Sounness said there were no losers regarding the project, and it was a ‘vital investment’. “The whole state and region are the winners regarding this project,” he said. “It means we can lower our emissions and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

LEADING THE WAY: Warracknabeal Primary School students, from left, Piper Knorpp, Jaiden Cooksley and Aiden Holland and teacher Rikki Nitschke get set to add to the school’s points tally for School Sport Victoria’s virtual track and field competition. With not long to go, the school leads the pack. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Warracknabeal on track for gold Warracknabeal Primary School is going for gold in a virtual track and field event designed to make up for a lack of in-person competitions throughout the coronavirus pandemic. The school is on top of the table of a ‘school points and ranking based on number of students’ table, leading Lysterfield Primary School by a significant margin. Warracknabeal is on 509.19 points, based on population, with Lysterfield on 174.96. Lysterfield is winning the overall ‘school points and ranking’ section on 978, with Warracknabeal third on 776. Warracknabeal physical education teacher Rikki Nitschke said

the school wrapped up its campaign at the end of last month, although students would ‘keep an eye’ on rankings. “We decided to pull the pin on it because we have a couple of things coming up, like our school production and school swimming that we want to focus on now in our recess and lunch times,” she said. “The actual program will probably run through to the end of term, but I’m pretty confident we’re far enough in front that we should still win it at the end. “But I have promised the kids we will do another week of it if someone gets close to us. “The kids are very, very competitive.”

Mrs Nitschke said about 60 students were participating in the virtual competition. “It has been fun, especially with kids coming back to school and finding it really hard with their friendship groups and getting back in big group environments,” she said. “To have activities to do at recess and lunch times to help build those relationships has been great and it just gives them something else to do. “They love it. Being competitive is good, with themselves and with others, and being on top of the ladder is good for our little school.” – Sarah Matthews

Vandals make life tough for school

respassers have left students without a trampoline in the latest incident involving a spate of vandalism and theft at Horsham Special School.

People entering the school grounds, causing damage, littering the site and now stealing equipment, has left teachers and staff frustrated and angry. School acting principal Joshua Harvey said the theft of a trampoline mat reflected an increase in incidents at the school in the past six months. “We have had fencing kicked in, graffiti and school equipment damaged. A trampoline mat, we’ve previously had to replace due to it being slashed, has now been stolen,” he said. “The mat is valued at between $1000 and $1500 and we now have a safety issue with a large exposed in-ground hole, meaning students are no longer able to access the area.” Mr Harvey said groups entering the school grounds were also constantly leaving large amounts of rubbish including alcoholic-drink cans and bottles and food wrappers. “On occasions they have left prophylactics and

this all has to picked up by staff before students arrive at school,” he said. Mr Harvey said the school had installed security cameras in efforts to negate the issue, which had initial success. “It has been really disappointing to have had constant vandalism occur,” he said. “We have some of the most vulnerable young people in our community attend Horsham Special School and we are very proud to be able to offer the services and supports needed to help our students achieve success. “The trampoline offers a range of benefits for our students – the ability to regulate being one – and is something they really enjoy using throughout the day. “Unfortunately due to the damages that occur, money must be re-allocated from elsewhere to cover these unexpected expenses, which then directly impacts what programs, activities and future upgrades to facilities we can offer.” Horsham Special School sits in much of a former Horsham High School and Horsham College site.

Grant money for tourism projects The State Government has called for applications for projects qualifying for funding designed to drive a recovery in regional tourism and generate jobs. Tourism Minister Martin Pakula said the government would allocate up to $100-million through its Regional Tourism Investment Fund to support ‘new experiences and attractions and the reimagining and revitalisation of existing favourites – focusing on nature, epicurean, arts and culture, and First People’s experiences’.

Organisers of a major service-club convention scheduled in Horsham next year have postponed the event. City of Horsham Lions Club president Wayne Lentsment said the 75th Jubilee Year of Lions International in Australia convention was ‘on hold’ based on ‘internal discussions’. The event was originally scheduled for November 20, 2022, at Wimmera Events Centre at Longerenong. Mr Lentsment confirmed the change of plans late last week. “We’re hopeful the event will happen in Horsham some time next year, however nothing has been decided yet and we have yet to fix any dates,” he said. The Horsham club had won the right to host the convention, which involves a large contingent of caravan enthusiasts, from Werribee Lions Club. Mr Lentsment had said previously the Horsham proposal came during 2020 COVID-19 pandemic concerns, when members might have felt a rural convention was a safer and more relaxed option than in Melbourne. He said Horsham members had already met with a Lions District V2 Convention standing committee on planning for the event. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said she was confident hosting the convention in Horsham could have helped encourage visitors to the region. She said she had hoped the event would also inject much-needed tourism into the region and help sell the rural city as a place to settle. Cr Gulline said she had been thrilled the Lions club had won the bid for the convention, which would have added weight to a previous call she made about Horsham needing to embrace opportunities for industry and enterprise growth. She said she believed despite the Federal Government delaying the re-opening of international borders, COVID-19 restrictions were unlikely to have had much impact on the event.

Boom-gate probe Police are seeking community help in the investigation of an incident at Stawell Railway Station last month. Between 10am and 11pm on November 24, someone cut cables to boom gates and a similar incident occurred again about midnight on November 27. Police are also investigating a fire that started between 12.30am and 12.45am involving a pile of logs close to Stawell Railway Station on November 28. Police, concerned with the onset of the fire season and danger posed by damage to boomgate operations, are working to identify offenders responsible for the incidents. People can call Stawell Police Station on 5358 8222 with any information or report anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Planning underway for big field days O

BY DEAN LAWSON

rganisers of one of Australia’s largest agribusiness field days are busy preparing for a celebratory return of the event at Longerenong next year.

They have pencilled in March 1 and 2 for a trial two-day Wimmera Machinery Field Days in what will be the first event at Wimmera Events Centre in two years. Field days events manager Vanessa Lenehan said expectation and excitement surrounding the return was growing daily. “We already have more than 120 exhibitors who have applied for sites,” she said.

“That’s more than usual for this time of year. They’re lining up, more than keen and booking sites and accommodation.

There’s a huge amount of eagerness and excitement that the field days are back up and running.” The COVID-19 pandemic forced the event’s organising committee to cancel this year’s field days after they managed an 11th-hour presentation the year before. “We really want to get the word out that we’re definitely planning to go

APPEAL: Uniting Wimmera’s Belinda Elliott and Con Vettos invite people to bring donations for a Gifts For Families Christmas appeal. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Call for toy donations Vulnerable Wimmera children are the target of a regional Gifts For Families Christmas appeal. Donated toys and gifts people drop in at a Uniting Vic.Tas Baillie Street office in Horsham will go to disadvantaged families through a Salvation Army Christmas appeal. Uniting Wimmera appeal co-ordinator Belinda Elliott said due to the impact of COVID-19, authorities were expecting more families than ever to seek emergency help. “The impact of job losses and the extended lockdown has stretched many family budgets to breaking point,” she said. “While life as we know it stopped during lockdown, the bills didn’t. Whether it was rent, gas, electricity or water or putting food on the table and fuel in the car, we know people have been really struggling.

“Gifts For Families is one of the highlights of every year for us – and we’re determined that nobody will go without a gift this Christmas.” Ms Elliott said for the appeal’s volunteers, putting smiles on the faces of families and providing gifts to deserving children and young people was rewarding. “We hope you, your group, school, workplace or family can support Gifts For Families and help us make sure there are gifts under every Christmas tree in our community,” she said. She said people could support Gifts For Families by taking un-gift-wrapped new toys to 185 Baillie Street, Horsham. She said people could find out more online at unitingvictas.org.au/local-christmas. Uniting is a community health agency, providing services across Victoria and Tasmania.

Farmers hope for dry harvest W

BY NICK RIDLEY

immera-Mallee farmers are desperate for rain predicted during the next few months to hold off until they complete a busy harvest.

Harvest is underway across the region amid Bureau of Meteorology predictions of a wetter-than-average summer. Damp spring conditions have already produced more than 100 millimetres of rain in some areas of the Wimmera catchment. Minyip-Donald broadacre farmer Ryan Milgate said due to the heavy amount of rain during spring, harvesting was taking longer than usual to complete. “Three weeks ago, the lentils were enjoying the rain. Currently, nothing really enjoys the rain, even the farmers,” he said. Mr Milgate said he was otherwise happy with weather conditions so far. He said considering about how the rain would affect his crops was thinking too far into the future. He added that heavy rain after harvest, if it happened, would be more than welcome. “Excess rain for farmers is money in the bank and it will be incredibly profitable for us,” he said. Bureau forecasters at the end of last month provided details about seasonal expectations that came with climatic conditions affecting Australia. The bureau has confirmed a La Niña weather system, associated with wet seasonal conditions for much of southeast Australia, is in place.

“Three weeks ago, the lentils were enjoying the rain. Currently, nothing really enjoys the rain, even the farmers”

– Ryan Milgate

Government authorities have noted the potential impact above-average rain might have on the landscape. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said if heavy summer rain did occur, it would most likely happen during random storms. He said while catchment waterways had experienced good flows during spring, much of Victoria’s total rain had fallen in other parts of the state. “The impact of less rain in the Wimmera, compared with other parts of Victoria, has resulted in less run-off to our rivers and streams, wetlands and water storages,” he said. “As always there is a chance a summer storm could increase water-storage levels across the region.” The bureau has announced summer would likely be warmer than average across Victoria, particularly in the state’s west. Operational climate services head Dr Andrew Watkins said although the chances of severe bushfires this summer were low compared with other years, people should remain wary. “We need to be careful about fires, particularly across inland areas and in the southwest of the country,” he said.

‘Overwhelming support’ for ball Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham branch leaders are thrilled with ‘already overwhelming support’ for next year’s blacktie gala ball. The ball, in Horsham Town Hall on March 26, will celebrate 15 years of the Horsham branch. Branch secretary Kelly Schilling said the event would cater for 240 guests and tickets were almost sold-out. “We’ve had wonderful support from our long-term sponsors and guests, who have already been busy booking tables,” she said. “We are celebrating 15 years of operation and the night promises to be another memorable one.” Ms Schilling said the event

would include a pre-dinner entertainment option, with guests able to sign up for a ride in a classic car thanks to Wimmera Mallee Historical Vehicle Society. “Other elements of the gala will include a guest speaker, auction and live entertainment,” she said. “It’s always such a popular event and we are grateful to welcome back our partners in major sponsor ACE Radio along with gold sponsors Skillinvest and Elders, entertainment sponsor Harvey Norman Horsham and silver sponsors Wade’s, Morrow Motor Group and Horsham Toyota.” Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of members of the force who

have died in the line of duty, by supporting community projects throughout the state. The Horsham branch raises money to support Wimmera Health Care Group projects, often in honour of fallen officers. “We are currently fundraising for an ECG unit for the COVID ward at Wimmera Base Hospital,” Ms Schilling said. “All proceeds from the night will be going toward this goal and upcoming Wimmera Health Care Group projects.” People can email Ms Schilling at brfhorsham@gmail.com to inquire about remaining tickets for the gala ball. – Sarah Matthews

‘Get on with it’

he discovery of a truck wheel stud on a nature strip in Horsham’s Baillie Street has sparked a renewed ‘get on with it’ call to develop an alternative transport route through the rural city.

Life-time Horsham resident, volunteer and businessman Noel Janetzki said he immediately thought of the dangers of truck traffic in multiuse areas on discovery of the steel object. “I was mowing a lawn near Lister House and accidentally ran over the stud, which had obviously come off a truck coming through,” he said. “I don’t know anything about it or how it came off, but if it came off at speed it could have easily hit a pedestrian or shoppers, with fatal consequences. “We know that incidents involving machinery on open roads occur, particularly on highways, but this is an example of something happening inside a busy central business district.” Mr Janetzki was keen to use his discovery as a simple example of why Horsham needed to find an alternative route for transport traffic through the city ‘sooner, rather than later’. “It might not capture the thoughts of everyone, but when you see trucks, one after the other in a procession through Horsham’s shopping heart, it makes you stop and think – surely we can get some action happening on this,” he said.

“We’ve heard about plans involving Regional Roads Victoria working with the Horsham council on ways to make this happen, but it seems to have fallen right off the agenda, which is far from good enough. “Whether it’s developing the talked-about alternative truck route or a much larger highway bypass, one has to happen or start happening sooner rather than later.” Mr Janetzki was among a group of people that met with Horsham’s Cr Claudia Haenel to voice concerns. He said on one occasion, while standing at May Park next to Baillie Street, which also doubles as the Western Highway, he lost count of the number of transports travelling into and from the centre of Horsham. “It’s not only far from ideal, but also simply not safe for this to continue to happen,” he said. “If there are legitimate processes in place to this flow-through of trucks out of Horsham, let’s get it happening.” Regional Roads Victoria is exploring or has plans to explore options, which might include the construction of a second heavy-vehicle bridge across the Wimmera River, in collaboration with Horsham Rural City Council. Developing an alternative route was part of an urban transport plan.

Network Landcare award A

Wimmera-Mallee organisation dedicated to restoring and maintaining environmental health has won major recognition for its efforts.

Buloke and Northern Grampians Landcare Network, BNGLN, has won a Landcare Network Award category at 2021 Victorian Landcare Awards. Network members were in St Arnaud watching online awards presentations, with Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio announcing BNGLN as the winner. The award reflects the best example of a Landcare network that has fostered sustainable land use through land-management practices to protect, enhance or restore a significant area on behalf of the community. BNGLN Landcare facilitator Andrew Borg said members were thrilled to have the extensive range of work and projects they had completed and continued to work on, attract recognition.

“2020 was a challenging year for community projects. Yet, the network co-ordinated 28 revegetation projects, which saw 20,032 seedlings established across 32 hectares of the region,” he said. Mr Borg said other activities in the past year included network members attending rabbit-management workshops. “This resulted in about 7000 hectares of both private and public land being surveyed to develop ongoing rabbit management treatments,” he said. “Additionally, biodiversity surveys were completed in the network area, invasive weeds were treated, erosion scours were fixed, and rubbish removed from waterways and bushland.” The network also expanded, with two new groups joining the collective. The network created Kara Kara Regenerative Agriculture Group, with a focus on soil health and biodiversity, at the request of district farming communities. The other, Friends of Blue Gum

Pilot project fund now available in Buloke The State Government has launched a pilot program in Buloke Shire designed to support community projects in the region. Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas launched the Small Towns Big Difference pilot program.

The $120,000 fund is a collaboration between Mallee Regional Partnership, Buloke Shire Council, Charlton and Donald Community Banks and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. The pilot is in recognition that many funding programs are geared towards economic devel-

opment rather than social benefits to small communities. Consequently, some community organisations find it difficult to attract funding for their smaller community-based projects that champion social outcomes. Community organisations in Buloke Shire will be able to

apply for Small Towns Big Difference grants for projects that build community capacity, social inclusion, community pride and improve lifestyle and access to community services, along with projects that develop the local economy.

Bank probe wins Webster support The launch of a national exploration into ways to address issues surrounding the closing of regional bank branches has won applause from Member for Mallee Anne Webster. Dr Webster welcomed the start of Federal Government Regional Banking Taskforce public consultations. She said she had many of her constituents express frustration and disappointment over bank branch closures in their towns. “These closures, and in some cases reduced hours, are incredibly frustrating for locals, particularly those who are unable to use online services to conduct their banking,” she said. “The taskforce will bring together banks and other key stakeholders who will host regional round-table discussions to assess how bank branch closures have impacted businesses, industries and communities.” Dr Webster encouraged people to contribute their thoughts about regional bank branch closures by making submissions to the taskforce. She said insights from the submissions would help the taskforce better understand the impact of branch closures and how Australians were accessing banking services. They would also help improve banking services and accessibility where branches had closed. Dr Webster said the taskforce would explore potential solutions for maintaining and improving banking services and accessibility with meetings scheduled for December and January. The consultation process will close on December 18. The Wimmera has already played a major role in finding alternative banking opportunities for regional Australians. The first Community Bank branches, designed to couple community projects with company profits and business and government support, opened in Rupanyup and Minyip in 1998 in a partnership between district families and Bendigo Bank and led by Rupanyup businessman David Matthews. The Community Bank network now has branches across Australia. People can make submissions by email to regional banking@treasury.gov.au or by mail to Secretariat, Regional Banking Taskforce, Financial System Division, The Treasury, Langton Crescent, Parkes ACT 2600.

‘Time to prove it’ W

immera Pride Project is urging Member for Mallee Anne Webster and Member for Wannon Dan Tehan to vote against a Religious Discrimination Bill 2021 to support LGBTIQ+ constituents.

Wimmera Pride Project has sent a letter to Dr Webster’s office, which highlights concerns the bill would result in Wimmera LGBTIQ+ people being vulnerable to forms of discrimination that would be protected under the bill. The group said it believed the bill, if passed, would also exacerbate inequality by ensuring only people with enough money to pay legal fees in Federal Court could attempt to prove they had been subjected to discrimination based on someone else’s religious stance. It has written that the Wimmera is home to many LGBTIQ+ people, ‘many of whom face ongoing discrimination, homophobia and transphobia at home and in the broader community’. Here is Wimmera Pride Project’s letter – Dr Webster, we are writing to you to stress our objection to components of the Religious Discrimination Bill 2021 that has been proposed by your government. As we have previously stated, the Wimmera Pride Project is supportive of the Australian Government creating legislation to protect Australians from religious discrimination, but not at the expense of protections for minorities and people of minority faiths.

Firstly, we applaud the government for removing the health-practitioner conscientious objection clause and employer-conduct rules, otherwise known as the ‘Israel Folau’ clause. Despite this improvement, the Wimmera Pride Project still holds serious reservations about the bill in its current form. The statement-of-belief clause remains in the current version of the bill. This was perhaps the most troubling part of the previous drafts. In the new legislation, statements of belief still override other state and federal anti-discrimination acts. This undeniably prioritises and protects statements of religious belief over all other discrimination protections across the country. The clause is highly problematic even with the exemptions for when: • The statement is malicious. • A reasonable person would consider the statement threatening, intimidating, harassing or vilifying a person or group. • The statement would promote or encourage the commission of an offence punishable by at least two years’ imprisonment. As we said in our letter dated June 24, 2020, by overriding the state legislation it means cases will have to be heard by a Federal Court to determine if the discrimination is claimed to be a statement of belief. State tribunals, which are free and have much shorter wait times than Federal Courts, will not be able to make decisions when a defendant claims immunity under this clause.

If a complainant has been discriminated against by a statement of belief which does threaten, intimidate, harass or vilify a person or group, that complainant would need to prove said discrimination in a Federal Court, so the statement of belief exemption could be overridden and the state tribunal could then hear the case. Under this procedure, the prohibitive cost of court would guarantee many of these cases simply won’t be lodged, leaving people who have been discriminated against without remedy. In your electorate there are children that are kicked out of their home because they are LGBTIQ+. Do you think someone with that sort of disadvantage is likely to be able to fund a legal battle? We are not saying this to ask you to confer with your colleagues or take our concerns to the Attorney-General on our behalf. We know our interpretation of the legislation is correct. We are writing this to beg you not to support this legislation. If you vote for this legislation, with it containing the statements-of-belief clause, you are abandoning your LGBTIQ+ constituents. You would be supporting legislation that will undoubtedly facilitate more discrimination in our community. You told us at our meeting last year that you abhor discrimination – now is the time to prove it. Demand this clause is removed, or do not vote for this legislation. – Wimmera Pride Project committee

THANK YOU: St Patrick’s Primary School Stawell grade-one students, clockwise from front, Lily Sanderson, Tahlia Darker, Bailey Matthews and Jack Wadge are excited to read a new collection of books donated to the school. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Racing club delivers books Students at St Patrick's Primary School Stawell are enjoying new books thanks to a community grant from Stawell Harness Racing Club. The ‘decodable’ readers are specially designed to allow students to practise their decoding skills. School principal Chris McAloon said the books were made up of words that students could decode and a small number of high frequency, irregular words that students had been taught. “By allowing students to apply their

letter-sound knowledge and blending skills to read words in connected text, decodable readers can greatly assist students to improve their reading accuracy and fluency,” he said. “The decodable readers complement the school’s adoption of the ‘InitiaLit’ literacy program. “The program incorporates a synthetic approach to the teaching of phonics alongside a rich literature and vocabulary component.”

Kealy: We’ll repeal the bill M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has stressed that Victoria’s Coalition would repeal a new pandemic bill if it won government in next year’s November State Election.

Ms Kealy said even with considerable changes, the Health and Wellbeing Amendment – Pandemic Management – Bill 2021 remained ‘a bad bill’. She described the bill, which passed Victorian Parliament after a marathon 24-hour sitting, as ‘government powergrab’ legislation. “The Nationals and the Liberals, along with legal experts and human-rights advocates, raised serious concerns the bill handed the government and the premier too much power to lock down Victorians – without parliamentary oversight,” she said. “In its desperate grab for power, the Andrews government has ignored the impact its lockdowns have had on the mental and social wellbeing of Victorians, on the education of our kids, on elective-surgery waitlists and on businesses. “The outpouring of deep concern and anger from people across my electorate and the wider Victorian community about this bill has been immense. “My office has received thousands of emails and countless phone calls from people pleading for the bill to be stopped. “Lockdowns have had a devastating

impact on people’s mental health and financial security. “They have hurt jobs and spiraled Victoria into debt. “But now, with the support of Independent MPs, Daniel Andrews is securing even more power over Victorian’s lives and livelihoods. “Even with amendments, this is still a bad bill – there’s simply no other way to describe it.” Ms Kealy said the Nationals had pledged to repeal the pandemic legislation and had committed to ensuring there would be no lockdowns under a Coalition government. She said The Nationals had also pledged $400-million to build a new infectious-disease response centre to manage future pandemics, with 100 new specialised hospital beds across Victoria. The final pandemic bill has attracted broad positive and negative responses across political and legal spectrums.

New CT machine for Wimmera Wimmera Base Hospital radiographers and physicians are using a new GE Revolution Maxima computerised tomography, CT machine. Wimmera Radiology has installed the new 128-slice CT scanner, which will improve imaging quality to support a variety of orthopaedic and surgical tasks. Chief radiographer Kristy Paine said the new CT machine had metal artefact-reduction software for improved

image quality in areas with orthopaedic or other metallic surgical devices. “Even with an increase in image quality, the overall radiation dose to the patient is reduced,” she said. The new CT has three-dimension reconstruction capabilities, which will aid in surgical planning by providing images with enhanced detail. Ms Paine said the CT machine also had artificial intelligence that aided in optimal patient positioning.

“With the old CT, if the patient was slightly out of position, even by a centimetre, the image quality would be affected,” she said. “But this CT is capable of positioning itself perfectly to get the optimal quality in the image.” Lumus Imaging, which owns Wimmera Radiology, is training eight of its Horsham-based radiographers to be compliant with the new CT machine.

orty-seven of Forest Fire Management Victoria’s newest firefighters have completed training camps where they have learnt the skills needed to protect communities and the environment from bushfires. The camps were in Horsham and Creswick. Grampians deputy chief fire officer Tony English said the camp course covered the fundamentals of firefighting including fire behaviour, fire suppression, planned burning, safety and survival techniques. “Our new firefighters have completed a mix of classroom theory and field-based activities to prepare them for the demands of fighting bushfires as well as the varied role of a forest firefighter,” he said.

“Forest firefighters rely extensively on dry firefighting techniques because water is often scarce in the middle of the bush. “The course covers hands-on training in how to use rakehoes and other hand tools to construct a mineral earth control line as well as skills such as four-wheel driving and use of chainsaws and water pumps, which are essential for forest firefighting. “These recruits will not only respond to bushfires across the region and state, they will also be conducting bushfire fuel-management work such as planned burning, slashing, track clearing and other land-management activities as part of their roles. “With their training courses successfully completed, the new recruits will work alongside our current staff, where they will continue with on-the-job learn-

ing from experienced firefighters while completing bushfire preparedness and response work.” This year Forest Fire Management Victoria, FFMVic, has 83 project firefighters in the Grampians Region, which stretches from the western edge of Melbourne to the South Australian border, to help keep communities safe. Mr English said 36 project firefighters had worked with FFMVic during previous fire seasons and went straight to work on bushfire fuel-reduction activities ahead of the fire season. Grampians project firefighters will be based in Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Parks Victoria depots at Horsham, Wail, Halls Gap, Edenhope, Bacchus Marsh, Serendip, Ballarat, Daylesford and Beaufort.

Renewable energy to power gardens Halls Gap Botanic Gardens is set to benefit from a new off-grid solar-power system, including solar panels, an inverter and battery. Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio toured the gardens to hear about plans for the system to provide power to the visitor shelter, volunteers office and workshop.

Grampians Community Power Hub, one of seven hubs across the state, is overseeing the project. Each hub is supporting community groups to develop renewable-energy projects by providing energy audits, feasibility testing, system specifications and implementation funding options. Ms D’Ambrosio said it was wonderful to see Grampians

Farmers welcome new trespass bill

he leader of Victoria’s peak farming body has welcomed state legislation to deter activists from trespassing on farms.

Victorian Farmers Federation president Emma Germano said on-the-spot fines included in the legislation were ‘very overdue’, but would be ‘very welcome’. “It’s time animal activists faced proper penalties for trespassing on people’s farms and homes,” she said. “We hope this will see the end of token $1 fines for farm invasions that we have seen in the past. We believe this is in line with community expectation. Trespass is not an appropriate form of protest.” The State Government introduced the Livestock Management Amendment – Animal Activism – Bill 2021 to address the impact of trespass on Victorian farms. The bill will also recognise biosecurity risks that breaches from animal activities could pose. Under the legislation, people who fail to comply will face penalties among the heaviest in Australia, with on-the-spot fines of $1272 for an individual or $8178 for an organisation. Further penalties of up to $10,904 for an individual and up to $54,522 for an organi-

sation could apply for more serious offences. The proposed legislation seeks to ‘reduce biosecurity risks and the spread of diseases on Victorian farms, deter people from trespassing on farms with the introduction of new offences, better enable prosecutions of trespassers and allow for the issuing of infringement notices’. A series of events involving animal-rights activists, including the intimidation of farmers, theft of livestock and disruption to business led to the legislation. Farmers will soon be able to implement biosecurity management plans, BMPs, which can include measures such as requiring consent from farmers before entering a property. These new measures are part of the government’s response to the Inquiry into the Impact of Animal Rights Activism on Victorian Agriculture. A report to State Parliament last year attracted government support for 13 of 15 recommendations. The government consulted peak industry bodies which represented farmers and agribusinesses, as well as animal-welfare organisations during development of legislative framework. The new arrangements will come into effect in 2022.

Money for roads, infrastructure Wimmera-Mallee municipalities will get to share in $1-billion in Federal Government money for roads and priority infrastructure projects. Member for Mallee Anne Webster confirmed councils in her electorate would collectively receive $37-million in the third phase of a local roads and community infrastructure program. “This is fantastic news for communities, and I

am excited to announce our local governments can now nominate priority projects for funding, to move them from the wish list and make them reality,” she said. Mallee councils to receive funding include Horsham $2,856,792; Hindmarsh $2,161,596; Northern Grampians $3,715,968; Yarriambiack $2,645,948; West Wimmera $3,056,022 and Buloke $3,199,526.

WHAT A DRAMA: Marian College drama students Erin Peter, left, and Gabriel Tonks rehearse for their production of the musical Lucky $tiff at Ararat Town Hall.

Marian College ready to perform Ararat’s Marian College drama students will bring ‘a madcap, hilarious romp of a musical’ to Ararat Town Hall from tomorrow night Lucky $tiff, based on Michael Butterworth’s novel The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, follows the story of Harry Witherspoon’s journey from England to Monte Carlo. ‘Harry’ receives unexpected news that he has inherited a fortune from his late uncle Anthony, on the condition that he takes Anthony’s dead body on a special trip to Monte Carlo. Lucky $tiff is an ‘offbeat and hilarious’ murder mystery with mistaken identities, love interests, disguises, farcical chases and an omnipresent corpse. Marian College head of dra-

It’s the desert fringe wilderness...

ma and director Teresa Tonks said the school was excited to present this year’s production. “A light-hearted and slapstick show, Lucky $tiff is the perfect medicine for our students, who have been deprived of live theatre for so long,” she said. “After yet another frustrating lockdown in August, we weren’t sure we could get a show up and running. “Fortunately, we rescheduled for December 9 to 11 and look forward to staging this crazy and comedic show for the people of Ararat.” Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said she was pleased to see the return of productions to Ararat Town Hall. “After a prolonged closure, it’s great to see the hall filled

with young singing, acting and dancing talent from Marian College,” she said. “Director Teresa Tonks’ passion for theatre and commitment to fostering young talent in our community has not gone unnoticed; we’re fortunate to have such a great supporter of the venue. “The council is thrilled to support a school production and encourage residents to come along and enjoy a night of laughs and entertainment.” Lucky $tiff performances will start at 7.30pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Doors open at 7pm and guests are required to check-in and be seated prior to the performance. Tickets are on sale and available via www. ararattownhall.com.au.

he region’s high percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 has been a primary driver in determining the extent of how we have emerged from lockdowns and severe restrictions.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM congratulate people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District in their decisive action assessing whether vaccination was right for them. But we’re not out of the woods just yet and the threat from virus variants is ever present. Health advice remains consistent that high vaccination rates provide a broad protective foundation in winning this fight. We continue to urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid any further delays in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic. And when eligible, don’t delay in getting a booster shot. The Wimmera has historically been among the best regions in Victoria in embracing vaccination programs and we encourage everyone to help maintain this high bar as we push through the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as keeping as many of our people as safe as possible, lifting the vaccination percentage rates across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District has strengthened a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus.

Darker shade of Bentley Blackline treatment now offered on GT and GT Convertible Mulliner model lines

entley has responded to the growing popularity of its Blackline exterior trim package by extending it to the GT and GT Convertible Mulliner model lines.

The Crewe-based marque says 38 percent of its continental GT orders are now specified with the Blackline treatment and that it expects similar interest from Mulliner buyers – the alternative execution to chrome-garnish detailing is now available across the entire Bentley range. The new option is a response to ‘increasing demand for black versions of brightware’. The Blackline package is claimed to complement the ‘myriad

options available to buyers’ of the brand’s popular four-seat coupe and convertible. For the Blackline version, all of the exterior’s brightware – excluding the Bentley ‘Winged B’ badge – turns black, including the radiator grille bezel. The wing-mirror caps are finished in Beluga Black, while the Mulliner’s signature matrix wing vents, radiator grille and lower bumper grilles are also finished in a matching hue. The theme is continued with blackpainted 22-inch wheels, of which each of the self-levelling hub badges feature a chrome ring. Bentley says a black Mulliner wheel

with contrasting polished ‘pockets’ will be available in the near future. “The addition of the Blackline edition to the Mulliner range of GT models reinforces Bentley’s position as the world’s leading manufacturer of luxury sporting Grand Tourers, while offering bespoke solutions for the most discerning customers who want cars as unique as their own personalities,” Bentley said in a statement. “In short, a contemporary twist on the world’s ultimate luxury coupé.” Internally, the sumptuous cabin of the GT Mulliner remains unchanged. Buyers can customise the interior in ‘any combination they choose’ as part of the Mulliner’s limitless offering,

or specify one of eight recommended three-colour combinations using Bentley’s ‘wide palette of hides and threads’. As standard, the interior of the Mulliner incorporates Bentley’s Diamond in Diamond quilted seats, door cars and rear quarter panels, featuring contrast and accent stitching running through the diamond pattern. The British marque claims that each cabin features almost 400,000 stitches. Depending on the market, the GT and GT Convertible Mulliner are available with the choice of a twinturbocharged 4.0-litre V8 developing 404kW or twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 delivering 466kW, although the

latter is notably set to be replaced by a hybrid driveline ‘within five years’. In Australia, both current engine choices are available, each paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive configuration. Locally, the Bentley GT Coupe lineup is priced from $408,900 plus onroad costs with the GT Convertible starting at $450,100 plus on-road costs – both prices exclude bespoke Mulliner options or the Blackline package. Bentley has sold 91 coupe and convertible models in Australia so far this year, as well as 21 sedans and 82 SUVs. – Matt Brogan

Warrior earns global praise N

issan Australia’s second application of the Warrior formula to its Navara dual-cab ute has won it recognition and admirers from many quarters in Nissan’s global empire – and it is a formula that could turn Nissan’s off-road-focused ute flagship into a core variant.

Nissan Oceania managing director Adam Paterson said from a sales and marketing perspective, it has been looked at as a big winner. Beyond earning plenty of kudos for Nissan Australia, the Navara Pro-4X Warrior looks set to earn plenty of sales too. While just over 1400 of the prefacelift Navara N-Trek Warrior were built, the plan is to exceed that figure – and there is significant potential to NOTED: Nissan Australia’s homegrown Navara Pro-4X Warrior 4x4 has attracted global admiration. do so by a sizable margin. matic.

ed to push output to well over double Mr Paterson’s seemingly conservative target – provided Nissan can supply enough cars to keep the production line at Premcar’s Epping facility busy. “We’re doing about 40 Warriors a week now, but what I’m saying is we could go up to 80 – and I think the demand is probably there,” he said. “At up to 80 we’re doing a second shift, but we’re supply constrained. We’ll do about 1500 in a year at the moment, but we could do more if we had more donor vehicles.” However, while a maximum output of 4000-plus Navara Pro-4X Warriors would make it one of the top-selling variants in the Navara range, Nissan Australia is keen to keep production aligned with anticipated demand – a glut of unsold Warriors on dealer forecourts is not something it wants to risk. But regardless of whether that additional Warrior volume contributes 1500 cars or 4000 cars to Nissan’s bottom line, one thing is clear – with about 50 percent of all Navara volume this year being for the high-feature Pro-4X and just 20 percent being for the mid-spec ST-X, it is clear that the bulk of Australian ute buyers are unafraid of spending big to get the ute they want. – Tony O’Kane

Mercedes-Benz readies e-vans

ercedes-Benz Vans Australia will bolster all its commercial-van model lines with electric drive derivatives, starting with the eVito Panel Van, eVito Tourer and EQV people mover, from the second half of 2022.

AUSTRALIA BOUND: The all-electric Vito Panel Van and Tourer, EQV and Sprinter are headed Down Under from late 2022. While Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia has yet to confirm the pricing and specifications of its upcoming e-van range, the current European line-up is claimed to have usable driving ranges of more than 350km, in the cases of the EQV and eVito Tourer. The Mercedes-Benz EQV is powered by a 100-kWh lithium-ion battery

pack that can be recharged in as little as 45 minutes when connected to a 110-kW DC fast charger. Mercedes says the standard 11-kW AC charger will fully recharge the EQV in under 10 hours. The front-wheel drive EQV measures 5140mm in length, rides on a 3200-mm wheelbase and has a cargo

capacity of 1030 litres. It is powered by a single electric motor producing 150kW and 362Nm, offers a WLTP driving range of 355km and has a top speed of 160kmh. The eVito Tourer shares the specifications of its people-mover sibling, but is claimed to be capable of travelling 10km further on the WLTP cycle.

The larger eSprinter will arrive ‘in or around 2024’. The German brand’s battery-electric van range will be sold alongside conventionally powered variants. However, Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia would only offer a fully electric line-up ‘when customer and market demand determined it’. Given the increased interest in electric-powered LCVs in Australia, the German marque hopes the four-model e-van range will appeal to commercial fleet owners who are looking to show commitment to sustainable practices while reducing their total cost of ownership. Mercedes-Benz Vans managing director Diane Tarr said this was a ‘very exciting step’ towards a more sustainable future for Mercedes-Benz Vans and customers in Australia. “We are confident the electric drive will gain prevalence here over the coming years,” she said. “As it does, we’ll be ready with a strong, customer-centric electric product portfolio.”

Although Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia said technical data of its eVito Panel Van and next-generation eSprinter was not yet available, a quick look at the European website suggests the latter can haul up to 3500kg with a maximum load volume of 10.5 cubic metres. The European eSprinter is powered by a 55-kWh battery pack and has a range ‘of around 150km’, while the lower-capacity 44-kWh battery is said to offer a driving range of just 115km. The eSprinter’s peak outputs are rated at up to 85kW and 300Nm. Mercedes-Benz Vans is also working on a fuel cell version of the Sprinter van, the Concept Sprinter F-CELL ‘suitable for longer courier routes’ or intra-city travel. Outputting 147kW and 350Nm, the hydrogen-powered model has an optimal driving range of up to 300km; its fuel is stored in three cigar-shaped tanks located beneath the vehicle’s load-area floor. In Europe, the eVito Panel van offers 85kW and 295Nm from its single electric motor, while power is sourced from a 35-kWh battery pack that can be recharged in ‘around six hours’. It has a load capacity of up to 6.6 cubic metres and its range is quoted at 150km. – Matt Brogan

Our precious Dad. A heart of gold stopped beating, His working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best, The tears in our eyes we can wipe away, But the love in our hearts is there to stay. “A life well lived” Words cannot express how much we all love and miss you. Dearly loved father and father-in-law of Barb & Andrew. Wonderful grandpa to Brad, Dylan & Ash, Charlie & Preston.

We live in a world where much of the media around us tells us to “Follow your heart” and “Trust your heart.” Now I don’t know about you, but my heart often leads me astray. Jeremiah wrote: The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (17:9). I spent over 20 years as a drug addict, and lived a lifestyle opposed to God’s will for me. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to do the right thing. I knew that following God would be what is best for me and those around me. But no matter how hard I tried I failed again, and again, and again. My mind (intellect) wanted to do the right thing but my heart (desires) constantly led me away from Him. And then I changed one thing… I was desperate, so I decided to put aside one hour a day reading my Bible, and my whole world changed. From that day on I received victory over drugs, and my entire life did a 180-degree turn. I realise now that spending that time with God changed my heart, and brought it into alignment with His will. Are you stuck? Can’t get victory? Have you lost hope? This week I received a text from a friend with similar struggles. “Marius, I should have tried that one-hour thing earlier, but I’m finally doing it. It has changed my life!” Marius Jigau, Seventh-day Adventist Church, Horsham, Stawell & Nhill

Trotters right in the mix I

BY TONY LOGAN

don’t think we have enjoyed so much Victorian interest in an Inter Dominion Trotting Championship series since the brilliant mare Sumthingaboutmaori saluted in the 2004 final at Moonee Valley.

After three rounds of heats at Menangle, Bathurst and Newcastle, three ‘Western Vics’ are live chances to take out the $150,000 contest on Saturday night. Stawell-owned and trained gelding The Penny Drops heads the TAB fixed odds market, pre barrier draw, for the final after an impressive victory at Newcastle on Sunday night. Len Baker reported: “An absolutely delighted owner-trainer Ray Harvey and driver Grant Campbell were thrilled to bits after the unfashionably bred five-year-old gelding The Penny Drops scored a brilliant victory in a rate of 1:57.0 over the 2030-metre journey. “Driven a treat by Campbell, The Penny Drops lobbed one-one from gate two and enjoyed cover through the first 1200 metres of the race. “Easing three-wide halfway down the back straight on the final occasion, The Penny Drops moved forward to challenge the leader at the top of the home stretch.

INTER DOM CHANCE: Stawelltrained The Penny Drops in action.

“The son of Danny Bouchea and Chilly Pepperell finished his race off in grand style and scored by 1.25 metres from Kyvalley Chief – Greg Sugars – and Just Believe – Chris Alford.” Back in September Harness Racing Victoria’s Michael Howard chatted with Harvey regarding the horse’s unusual name. “Ronny, that’s what we call him. He was born at home but when I broke him in, he wouldn’t go forward, he just refused,” Harvey told Trots Life. “Then one day my partner, Moira walked past him, then headed away and he decided to follow her. She walked a lap of the track and Ronny just followed her in the cart and ever since then, once he got the idea of what was going on he was good. He

was a bit on the dumb side to start with and all of a sudden, things started to click and that’s how he got his name, The Penny Drops. “Ronny’s a real social animal. He’s got an old paddock mate who he’s been with since he was a foal. He just gets on with anyone and everyone.” During the past 12 months Harvey, Campbell and The Penny Drops have combined to capture the Gawler, South Australian, Kilmore, Swan Hill and Maryborough trotting cups and a victory on Saturday night would put the icing on their 2021 cake. Terang trainer Matty Craven has qualified two starters for Saturday’s feature, the mighty mare Pink Galahs, which races in the famous Maoris Idol colours, and her stablemate, the former Kiwi trotter Lotamuscle.

Pink Galahs has done everything except win in all three rounds of the Inter Dom with two thirds and a second. The ‘little lady’ has been forced to race outside the leader in all three heats and if she gets cover for most of Saturday’s 3009-metre marathon and Craven finds clear air in the final stages, Pink Galahs could blouse them all at the post. Horsham’s Bill Deleeuw is a part of the big ownership group that races the Craven-trained five-year-old gelding Lotamuscle. The 2019 NZ Trotting Derby winner lost no admirers after his unlucky fifth place behind The Penny Drops at Newcastle, following a solid win on round two and close-up third on opening night. – Tony Logan

Roos unbeaten After four rounds, Wimmera Roos remain the only undefeated team in Wimmera Girls Cricket as they attempt to claim their third successive championship. In a display of trademark depth, the Roos, 2-141, accounted for Murray Downs Diamonds, 6-101, at Dimboola Recreation Reserve. Abbey Williams, 27 not out, and Isobelle Schorback, 25 not out, were the standout performers for the home team. For the Diamonds, Heidi Schneider top-scored with an unbeaten 23. In other games, Horsham Sixers put in their best effort of the season with the bat off the back of Sophie Quick, 21 not out. But the Sixers fell 32 runs short as the well-drilled Belles recorded 110 for the loss of only one wicket. Stawell Strikers defeated Horsham Hurricanes to move into second place on the ladder. The Strikers weathered a hard-hitting unbeaten 20 from Hurricanes opener Adele Weidemann. When the Stawell team’s turn came with bat in hand, it was a commanding partnership between Moloney sisters Chloe, 14 not out, and Ella, 17, that wrestled control of the match. Round-five games will be at Stawell in what is set to be a high-quality suite of matches before the competition heads into a mid-season break. Results: Stawell Strikers 4-133 d Horsham Hurricanes 8-89, Wimmera Roos 2-141 d Murray Downs Diamonds 6-101, Wimmera Mallee Belles 1-110 d Horsham Sixers 4-78.

O’Meara returns C

BY JOSH MILLER

omeback apprentice jockey Shanae O’Meara provided the feel-good story of the week at Stawell’s Christmas meeting on Saturday.

Just 19 months after suffering a horrific fall while riding trackwork for Austy Coffey, O’Meara notched her first-ever victory in the saddle, partnering with $7 Deer Scent to overhaul $2.40 race favourite Morning Has Broken and win by a nose in race one. Fittingly, the win came aboard a four-year-old mare prepared by her master, Coffey, who looked as much a proud father as a winning trainer as O’Meara returned to scales. “I just grabbed her, hugged her. I couldn’t say or do much else, you know? I’m glad there were no interviews to give,” Coffey said, the emotion still evident in his voice 48 hours later. “She’s a great kid, a really good horsewoman. She was 10 or 11 days in a coma following the fall, it was just the worst. I don’t reckon I slept the whole time. “Her mum was on course Saturday and came running up after she’d won. I didn’t even know

she was there until then.” The win was also special for the ownership group, with 17 of the 21 owners involved in Donald and District Racing Club. “After her accident one of our committee members went about collecting donations to help Shanae through her recovery,” club chairman Graeme Leishman said. “We were able to raise a bit of money for her, so it was really nice to be involved in her first winner.” Coffey explained that Leishman might have been understating their contribution. “They were one of the biggest contributors to Shanae’s rehab, the guys at Donald are just terrific,” he said. “It was a nice touch that a handful of the Donald fraternity were trackside to boot home their winner – it was clear it meant much more than just prizemoney to them.” In the day’s other results, local trainer Dane Smith broke a sixmonth drought when his fouryear-old mare, Magnolia Rose, $3.50, held on for a tough win in the final event on the card. From the 1650-metre starting point, jockey Jarrod Fry found

a position behind the leader and race favourite Murganella, $3.20, trained by Symon Wilde, and moved up to strike at the home turn. The crowd cheered as Magnolia Rose took over and held off a fast-finishing $71 Black Monsoon to record a narrow victory. It was the second local win of the day after the Mark Pegus-trained Gottaluvjimmy, $4, was given a gun ride by Linda Meech to score by two-and-ahalf lengths in race five. Meech never went around a horse over the 1100-metre journey, taking all the shortcuts and recording a soft win aboard the five-year-old gelding. It was the second win from eight career starts for the son of Jimmy Creed, which has always shown the ability to race in a higher grade. Credit must go to the track staff and committee of Stawell Racing Club for the recent improvements they have made to the landscape and facilities at their venue. The oncourse experience for racegoers was outstanding and track staff had the surface looking and racing superbly. We can look forward to another great race day at the foot of the Grampians on Friday, January 7.

Have you ever woken up with an extremely painful neck where you can’t turn your head to one side or maybe both? You can hardly lift your head off the pillow it’s so painful and trying to turn your neck causes excruciating pain. Or maybe for you, you were in the shower and you may have just flicked your head and suddenly you can’t move it at all. How did this happen? What caused the problem and how can you fix it? This is a classic “Wry Neck” or correctly speaking a “Torticollis”. What happens is that there is a sudden movement of the vertebrae (bones) in the neck. Now it’s not a violent movement like what may result from a car accident, it’s almost like an unconscious movement, like the brain and the body in a relaxed motion moved awkwardly, caught itself out and jammed up. Suddenly the muscles spasm and you can’t move at all. Often, I see it with a sudden change in the weather overnight. I often say that 50% of people wake up with it and for the other 50% it occurs in the shower. So how can you avoid this situation? A good option is to not sleep in drafts, try and avoid awkward neck positions in sleep (that can be hard to do- however falling into a heavy sleep on your stomach can aggravate things). In the shower again not flicking your head whilst the warm water is relaxing the muscles. Unfortunately given your best efforts it may still happen. How can you fix it? Option 1 : Reach for the latest anti-inflammatory and take those until they feel better and the neck pain settles. Now the pain has gone and their neck is moving seemingly well again, no further issues right? Wrong!! The joints are still fixated and locked to some extent and the body, ever adapting and inventive has created a way to get around the issue for the short term. Long term it can create a chronic problem and can encourage arthritis. Option 2: A chiropractic adjustment has the advantage of allowing the vertebrae to move more easily, reduce the neck spasm in the short-term and assisting in creating better spinal health in the long-term. A “Win-Win” situation for you. I look forward to helping you have great spinal health.

Hornets on road to meet Seahawks H

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Hornets are preparing for a big weekend of basketball action, although they are waiting to learn of Mt Gambier’s availability ahead of Sunday.

The Hornets men are due to travel to Warrnambool on Saturday night before hosting their first Country Basketball League home game of the season against the Lakers on Sunday. Men’s coach Scott Benbow said latest South Australian border-crossing rules had created uncertainty around Mt Gambier’s ability to compete in the south-west conference. “They forfeited at the weekend and we’re not sure if border restrictions had something to do with it,” he said. Benbow said Hornets leaders were due to have a meeting last night, after The Weekly Advertiser went to press, to discuss latest circumstances. “We’re definitely heading to Warrnambool on Saturday night though and we’re looking forward to it,” he said. Both the Hornets men’s and women’s teams had a bye at the weekend after opening their seasons a fortnight ago. The Hornets men went down to Colac by 14 points on November 28, although Benbow was pleased with his charges’ first hit-out after a hiatus. “We’re a young side and a bit inexperienced, but we were certainly in the game, that’s for sure,” he said. “We missed a few easy shots, which could have

made the margin closer, but I think that came down to experience and the pressure they put on us. “With COVID we haven’t played for 18 months and we missed the last season. Colac played last season and you could see the continuity.” Benbow said Sam Breuer was unavailable on Saturday but would be able to play on Sunday if the game went ahead. The Lady Hornets will also hit the road on Saturday, taking on Warrnambool Mermaids at 7.30pm. The Hornets are looking for back-to-back wins after triumphing over Terang by 52 points in round one. The women’s match will follow the men’s, which tips off at 5.30pm. If the men’s game against Mt Gambier proceeds, it will be at Horsham Basketball Stadium at 1pm.

Squad success

Several Horsham Amateur Basketball Association representative teams tasted success at their first tournament of the season, at Shepparton. Six of eight Hornets sides made grand finals, with the association walking away with four wins. Winners included the under-18 boys, under-16 girls, under-16 boys and under-12 girls, all in division-two deciders. Runners-up were, division one, under-14 boys and division two, under-12 boys. The division-one under-18 girls finished fourth in their pool, while the division-two under-14 girls finished second in their pool. Three Hornets squads will head to a tournament in Hamilton at the weekend.

WINNERS: Sandra Knight, left, and Betty Cozens celebrate their success.

Battle for top pennant spot C

Junior player of the week

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

entral Wimmera Tennis Association pennant ladder leader Horsham Lawn and second-placed Kalkee will battle for top spot on Saturday.

Both teams, along with third-placed Horsham Saints, are on 16 points apiece, with four wins and one loss. The Kees will be keen to return to the winners list after going down to St Michaels by four sets in round five. While the Kees went in undermanned, the Saints featured a strengthened lineup, headed by McDonald sisters Steffi – back from playing college tennis in the United States – and Jess. Steffi played as the number-one man, teaming up with Ian Nitschke and Nick Robertson for wins before falling short of Jeff Friberg in a tiebreaker. Jess, the number-one woman, won all three of her sets for the day, including a close doubles encounter with Marli Pymer. Friberg was the only Kalkee man to claim a set for the day, with the team’s remaining sets secured by Anna Exell and Melissa Beddison. The Saints will meet Central Park, coming off a four-set loss to Drung South Purple, this week. Central Park started well, with Matt Jones and Brendan Nitschke teaming up to defeat Dylan Emmerson and Benn

CONTRIBUTION: Reece Harman in action for Central Park against Drung South Purple at the weekend. Harman won two of his three encounters for the day, including his singles match against Aaron Jennings, 8-3, however Drung triumphed overall. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER Molineaux 8-4 in the opening rubber. Nitschke featured in the team’s remaining victories, including an 8-0 singles win over Molineaux. Nitschke’s extra hitting practice with usual number one Lance Dugan – unavailable last week – is clearly paying off, evidenced by his consistent efforts of late. Drung South’s women were again potent, with Kate-Lyn Perkin, Yolly

Molineaux and Kirby Knight finishing the afternoon undefeated. Drung South Purple will go head to head with clubmate Drung South Orange in round six. The Orange outfit had a tough encounter with Horsham Lawn last week, falling short 2-55 to 10-87. The competition’s young guns led the way, with Drung’s Logan Casey featuring in his side’s two victories, including

a comprehensive singles win over Stuart McRae, 8-1. Tahlia Thompson and Gemma Walker continued to impress for Lawn, enjoying a successful afternoon. Results: St Michaels 8-83 d Kalkee 4-56, Drung South Purple 8-74 d Central Park 4-65, Horsham Lawn 10-87 d Drung South Orange 2-55.

Tennis heating up S

BY JOEL FREELAND

tawell Tennis Club Friday night competition teams contested the penultimate round before the Christmas break and, just like the weather, the contest is heating up.

Stawell Mitre 10 A1s saw reigning club champion Blair Hart inflicted with his first loss of the season, at the hands of yours truly and Brian O’Shannessy, with the latter enjoying trading blows with Hart in the surprise 8-4 triumph. The A2s was a close affair, with Nathan Baker and Scott Bohner locked on 22 games apiece. Baker combined with Rob Lembo, prevailing 8-6 in the final match to secure the tie. Big-hitting Holly Graveson took it right up to top seed Amy Millar in the Mitre 10 A Ladies, both players locked on 23 games at the conclusion of the evening, four games clear of their nearest rival. The Findex B Ladies saw youngster Elise Monaghan earn a tilt at the A Ladies next week, with a comfortable five-game win over her more-experienced rivals. Monaghan won all three sets for the night. The B1 Men saw another tie at the top, on this occasion it was Ben Martin and club newcom-

er Jake McConville who found themselves level on 25 games at night’s end. The contests were highlighted by two tiebreaker results. Scott Carey, filling in for Glenn Troeth, was dominant in the B2 Men’s, marching to three consecutive victories, as a host of worthy challengers were powerless to stop the onslaught. The Delahunty Plumbing C1 Men was a hard-fought affair, with Theo Browne winning the night by the barest of margins over a gallant Joe Dunn, with Luke Monaghan a further two back. In the C2 Men it was Leon Monaghan who showed them all a clean pair of heels, with three convincing wins. He will now look forward to next week, as bragging rights in the Monaghan household will be up for grabs. Erin Freeland’s hard work during the week is paying dividends on court, as she comfortably accounted for her rivals in the Delahunty Plumbing C Ladies, winning all three matches and being six games clear of her nearest challenger. Sophie Hutton and Lara Troeth went toe to toe all night in the

Farrers Tyrepower D Ladies, with both ending up on 25 games, including splitting two tie breakers, and it will be the higher-ranked Hutton who will get her chance to impress against the C Ladies. Michael Mitchell continues his meteoric rise through the ranks, this week comfortably winning the D1 Men’s to the tune of nine games, including an 8-0 whitewash alongside sweet timing Henry Clough. Oscar Reading was the top dog in the D2 Men, and despite dropping the final set 9-7, marginally held out Fraser Dunn by two games on the back of two comprehensive victories earlier in the evening. Young left-hander Jack Reading will step up next week, following victory in the Grampians Joinery E1 Men’s division. His win was punctuated by combining with brother Archer for an 8-6 triumph, while Ash Hutton took the honours in the E2 Men’s, four games in advance of Liam O’Shannessy. Elsewhere, in the Grampians Joinery E Ladies, Alana Graveson continued her hot run of form, winning 8-5, 8-4 and 8-2 and will take some beating next week, despite the rise in grades.

OPPORTUNITY: Wimmera 12 and under tennis representatives, from left, Eli Bailey, Emma Streeter, Adele Joseph and Harry Allan at the Alicia Molik Cup at Kooyong in Melbourne at the weekend.

Onward and upward for juniors Four talented Wimmera youth enjoyed an opportunity to represent the region at a prestigious tournament at Kooyong Tennis Club at the weekend. Harry Allan, Eli Bailey, Adele Joseph and Emma Streeter represented the region at the Alicia Molik Cup after winning selection to a 12 and under team. The Wimmera outfit finished 10th out of 15 teams competing at the Melbourne venue. Wimmera Regional Tennis events co-ordinator Sandra Casey said the result was ‘an awesome effort’. “The kids did very well,” she said. “Their team manager said the kids all enjoyed the experience and it was a lot of fun. “They did well, too, winning some matches. It’s only onward and upward for these players. There are bigger things to come.” On Sunday, 40 juniors contested their first regional tournament of the season, at Central Park Tennis Club in Horsham.

“The juniors all played singles. They embraced the change in format, which aligns with Tennis Australia ranking events, and gave singles a red-hot go,” Mrs Casey said. “It was a co-ed event and in a round-robin format with players of similar standard. That proved pretty successful based on the length of some of the matches.” Tournament pool winners were: 15-plus, Aiden Richardson; 14A, Cielo Demaria O’Sullivan; 14B, Tara McIntyre; 14C, Luke Johns; 12A, Eve Wear; 12B, Jack Reading; 12C, Karter Nitschke; 10A, Nicholas Gillespie; 10B, Archer Reading. The next regional tournaments will be in Stawell on February 5 and Horsham Lawn on February 19. “Tournaments will conclude with an event in Warracknabeal on March 5. Formats are yet to be determined but doubles will be back,” Mrs Casey said. – Sarah Matthews

Closely matched L

BY DEAN LAWSON

ittle separates teams competing in Horsham Cricket Association’s flagship competition as teams continue to draw up battle plans against familiar opponents.

West Wimmera is the only outfit dragging the chain in a wins column so far this season and will meet Rupanyup-Minyip in a fascinating contest at Nhill’s Davis Park on Saturday. A home-ground advantage might just be what the doctor ordered for the Warriors, who would have been disappointed in failing to defend 200 against Noradjuha-Toolondo last week. West Wimmera is playing good cricket, especially with Mitch Dahlenburg, 89, and Austin Smith, 58, among the runs last week and Austin Merrett and Tim Braendler collecting three wickets each. But the side finds itself sitting on the bottom of a five-team ladder and needs a win to stay in the pre-Christmas mix. The Warriors meet a Rupanyup-Minyip side that appears vulnerable to inconsistencies but also capable of pulling out big results. Last weekend the Blue Panthers fell well short with the bat, making

100 in response to a Homers target of 160 for victory. A quick look at their batting list reveals plenty of talent with openers Mark Mbofana and Jamie Byrne followed by Bailey Young and talented Weidemann brothers Connor and Lachie and then Daniel Schaper. Lachie Weidemann top-scored with 35 last week in what was generally a lean effort with the bat from a team that struggled against the Pigeon bowling. Homers, with Luke Miller capturing 3-17 and a string of others sharing in the spoils, will now turn their attention to Jung Tigers, which come off a bye for a clash at Horsham City Oval. The Tigers will particularly need to overcome the awkward bowling of spinner Chaminda Gamage, who bowled five maidens last week. Caleb Hurley also captured 3-27. The pigeons also had several contributors with the bat last week with Jett Hopper top-scoring with 44, Paddy Mills making 39 and Gamage chiming in with 28. Ladder leader Noradjuha-Toolondo has a bye and goes into its break with Josh Beddison having made 61 and Justtin Combe, 56, and Tony Caccaviello taking 3-27.

The Bullants’ successful big runchase was their second in a row. With cricket now in full swing, administrators across the region are gaining insight into the structure of the game. There is a desperate need for a revamp of the game at a top level in the region and timing might be right for a long-talked-about new Wimmera premier competition. Horsham A Grade features five teams and Grampians association A Grade has been subject to forfeits in the past fortnight. This week: West Wimmera v Rupanyup-Minyip at Nhill, Jung Tigers v Homers at Horsham City Oval, Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants, bye. Last week: Homers 8-159 (J. Hopper 44, P. Mills 39, C. Gamage 28; C. Hurley 3-27) d Rupanyup-Minyip 100 (L. Weidemann 35; L. Miller 3-17), Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 8-203 (J. Beddison 61, Justtin Combe 56; A. Merrett 3-25, T. Braendler 3-37) d West Wimmera 5-200 (M. Dahlenburg 89, A. Smith 58; T. Caccaviello 3-27). Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 30, 1.72; Homers 18, 1.02; Jung Tigers 18, 1.00; Rupanyup-Minyip 15, 0.68; West Wimmera 9, 0.77.

BIG V SELECTION: Rupanyup cricketing youngster Hugh Weidemann has made a 12 and under Victorian team. The all-rounder, who considers himself primarily a batsman and lists national wicket-keepers Alex Carey and Josh Philippe as his favourite players, won selection for his left-arm bowling. Homers’ Luke Miller of Horsham was also part of a final training camp for the team, an honorary line-up this year because of COVID-19 restrictions. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Another forfeit A

BY ONE SHORT

nother week in Grampians Cricket Association and unfortunately another forfeit, this time with Pomonal the offending team and Swifts-Great Western the recipient of easy points.

At one stage Pomonal had three senior and under-16 and under-13 teams. But the club is now reduced to just one senior and one under-13s team. The situation must be a disappointment to past players who built the club to its former status. It might be time for Pomonal and Youth Club, which forfeited the previous week, to talk about amalgamation. Of the games played, Youth Club and Chalambar staged a ripper at Stawell’s Central Park, with Youth Club sneaking home in a tense battle. Winning the toss and batting, Chalambar was all out in the 33rd over for 118, Reece Kettle the standout with 58, while Clubber Nic Baird returned his best figures of 6-37. In reply, the Clubbers struggled to establish partnerships and with the score on 9-117 it was anybody’s game. But eventually the 10th wicket got Youth Club home, scoring 120. Jarrod Illig was the hero for the winners with 47, and Josh Bywaters, Teague Vincent and Luke Walker each took two wickets. In the remaining match, Buangor-Tatyoon had a comfortable 95-run win over Halls Gap. Batting first, the Hawks recorded 7-156 at a fraction less than four runs an over, the bulk of which were scored in a 90-run partnership between Tyler Cronin, 62, and Michael Harricks, 52. The Gappers’ bowling featured a 3-37 from

young Dillon Macallef. Hawks bowling honors went to Jacob Bates and James Phillips with three wickets each. The program of matches for this week is SwiftsGreat Western at home to Halls Gap, Buangor-Tatyoon hosting Chalambar, and Pomonal against Youth Club at Pomonal being the match of the round. The Tigers will be looking to climb up the ladder at the Clubbers’ expense and will look to John Thewlis, Lynden Brewis, Lachlan Dalkin and skipper Lachie Green for a repeat performance. The Clubbers are hoping for a repeat from Illig and Baird for a victory that might prove crucial at the end of the season. The Hawks have not lost a match for points this season, so it’s hard to see them dropping a game to Chalambar. Chalambar, while being competitive, will have to bring its best to topple the top team. Similarly, the Combine will not want to fall too far behind the Hawks on the ladder so they will be out to keep in touch by accounting for the Gappers. This week: Swifts-Great Western v Halls Gap at Stawell’s Central Park, Buangor-Tatyoon v Chalambar at Tatyoon, Pomonal v Youth Club. Last week: Buangor-Tatyoon 7-156 (T. Cronin 62, M. Harricks 52; D. Macallef 3-25) d Halls Gap 61 (J. Bates 3-12, J. Phillips 3-14), Youth Club 120 (J. Illig 47) d Chalambar 118 (R. Kettle 58; N. Baird 6-37), Swifts-Great Western d Pomonal on forfeit. Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 27 points, 1.85 percent; Swifts-Great Western 18, 2.45; Youth Club 12, 1.07; Halls Gap 12, 1.67; Chalambar 6, 0.60; Pomonal 6, 0.36.

Weidemann continues to shine

IN FORM: Rupanyup’s Connor Weidemann tickles a ball square of the wicket while representing the Waves against the Suns in a Youth Premier League cricket match at Horsham City Oval. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Rupanyup’s Connor Weidemann continues to play a major role in Waves fortunes in Cricket Victoria’s under-16 male Youth Premier League, this time with the ball. Weidemann, who has also won selection in a Melbourne Cricket Club under-17 Dowling Shield team, captured 4-15 as the Waves clinched victory over Suns at Horsham City Oval. The Waves, made up of players from across western Victoria, appeared in trouble on Sunday after making only 107. But early breakthroughs put the visiting Suns on the back foot and with the game inching towards conclusion, another Wimmera player, Joey Nagorcka, of Horsham, snared the final wicket to give the Waves a five-run win. It was the Waves’ second narrow victory after the team beat Highlanders in a season opener at Ballarat with Weidemann making 48. The Waves will now play Falcons at Hamilton on Sunday. Weidemann, 15, who bats left-handed and is a right-arm bowler, has been undergoing specialist batting coaching with his older brother Lachlan, 17, at Melbourne Cricket Club. Connor will play in the Dowling Shield competition in a specialist batting role with Melbourne in the under-17 competition early next year. The Weidemanns’ sister Adele, 14, also represents the Waves in the Youth Premier League’s under-15 competition and their youngest brother Hugh, 12, has made a state under-12 team.

Cannane to lead Saints BY SARAH MATTHEWS

orsham Saints premiership player and coach Jess Cannane has cited ‘unfinished business’ as a key motivator behind her decision to lead A Grade in 2022.

Cannane had signed on as A Grade coach for the 2020 Wimmera Football Netball League season, which was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. She played A Grade and mentored junior coaches last year before deciding to again put her hand up for the club’s most senior coaching role. “I’ve coached on and off multiple times, alternating between senior and junior coaching,” Cannane said. “After COVID put an end to the 2020 season I still felt like I hadn’t completed what I wanted to do, so I’m excited to take on the role next year. I think it’s exciting in general, just being able to play sport again and return to some sort of normality.” Cannane co-coached the A Grade side to a ‘fairy-tale’ premiership win in 2017 alongside Shannon Cross. Cross will be Cannane’s assistant in 2022. “It’s really nice being able to

have a sounding board, particularly one who is an experienced player and coach,” Cannane said. “It will be good to get the partnership back together.” Cannane said player retention was going well, despite the busy festive season. “It’s always tough at this time of year because people are enjoying life and aren’t really thinking about netball,” she said. “From what I’ve been told from the board and our netball director, it looks as though we’re going to have pretty much the same side as last year. “It will then be a case of working out the best combinations because several of the girls can play multiple positions successfully.” Cannane has a clear aim for the 2022 season – to make finals. The Saints were sitting seventh when the 2021 season was called off amid tightening COVID-19 restrictions. “If the season had finished, we would have missed out on finals,” Cannane said. “That’s definitely something we will be aiming for next year. “Once you make finals, anything can happen. We know that very well since we came from fifth to win both our flags.”

APPOINTED: Horsham Saints have appointed Jess Cannane, left, and Shannon Cross as A Grade coach and assistant coach respectively for the 2022 Wimmera season.

Netball director Sally Ison said she was excited by Cannane’s appointment. “We know Jess brings a wealth of netball experience and leadership to this role,” she said. “We are also very fortunate to have appointed Shannon Cross as Jess’s A Grade assistant. “All other senior coaching positions will be announced very shortly.” Saints leaders have also appointed junior coaches for the 2022 season. Ashlee Grace will coach the 17 and unders, Vernetta Taylor will take the reins of the 15 and unders

and Roxy Tippet will lead the 13 and under team. “All these skilful coaches will keep our juniors at a very high standard of competition for playing Wimmera league in 2022,” Mrs Ison said. “With the past couple of seasons starting and stopping, we are positive it will be full steam ahead for our Wimmera league competition in 2022. “We look forward to starting pre-season after the new year, after everyone takes a well-earned break.”

Finalists are set The first piece of a Volleyball Horsham finals jigsaw puzzle is set with the Monday night A Reserve, C and junior grades’ regular seasons completed. In a truncated winter season for Volleyball Horsham, semi-finals will be on Monday in a ‘super Monday’ of volleyball with 10 finals to be decided on the night, with winners to play off in grand finals on Wednesday next week. The juniors will hit off at 4.30pm on Monday with their semi-finals. Volleyroos completed their season undefeated on top of the table and will do battle with Murtoa Devils, while in the other semi Von Steiger Kids will face off against Murtoa Gods. In C Grade semi-finals at 5.30pm, Murtoa Railway will battle Von Steiger Shadows. The other semi is between Heidelberg and Murtoa Lizards. A Reserve finals involve top-of-the-table Von Steiger Shadows against Parmi Army at 7.30pm, with perennial finalists Waterhammers and Heidelberg Masters following at 8.30pm. With the final round of A and B grades tonight, there is still plenty of movement available on the ladders for teams as they push for an elusive finals spot. Shados Inala has all but locked in top spot on the A Grade ladder and barring a minor miracle should take the top spot. But four teams still have a chance of making the finals. Tsunami squares off against Shados Inala, followed by Heidelberg and Rangers. The final game features second-placed Phantoms taking on third-placed Hellenic Nuggets. If Heidelberg wins, both teams will know what they have to do to hold onto their position on the ladder. In B Grade, Holy St Pats and Phantom Masters have secured the top two positions, with Von Steiger Teachers, Von Steiger Bloods and Hot Shots all chances of snatching third or fourth place on the ladder. A better script you could not write to finish a most unusual season. – David Berry
