Leader: Be realistic

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

A

Victorian AFL official has emphasised a need for Wimmera-Mallee football and netball clubs to be realistic and proactive about their long-term sustainability.

AFL Victoria regional manager Jason Muldoon said a declining membership base and financial strain meant there was a looming possibility for more club mergers across the region.

He said declining club members was the largest issue facing country Victorian football and circumstances in Wimmera and Horsham District leagues were no exception.

He stressed that as a result, club leaders needed to be creative and maintain a forward-thinking approach

about what needed to happen for their organisations to remain viable or sustainable.

He also added football peak-body leaders were aware of and concerned about vulnerabilities of clubs and competitions.

“We are constantly assessing the situation,” he said.

“If clubs feel they can sustain themselves for the next five years, then great. But if they are unsure, come to us and negotiate. A merger is one possibility.

“The region’s population is not growing significantly and towns are not employing all the people who used to sustain football and netball clubs. Unfortunately, it means clubs must adapt.”

Mr Muldoon said honest conversa-

tions were important for clubs to have before situations became unsolvable.

“We hope to avoid clubs reaching a ‘tipping point’ before looking for solutions,” he said.

“The tipping point is too late. We have seen that in the past with Horsham United and we really want to avoid those circumstances before it is too late to act.”

Former Wimmera league club Horsham United, which joined the competition from Horsham District league as Imperials-Wonwondah in the 1980s, merged with Natimuk to form Natimuk United Football Club in 2014.

“Clubs need to think five years ahead and assess if a merger could give the club some direction,” Mr Muldoon said.

“That is something we’d have to look at.”

Mr Muldon said demographic factors were also leading to mainstream sporting competitions in the region developing an ‘uneven’ character.

“The three major population centres, Horsham, Ararat and Stawell, are not facing the same population decline as smaller towns, so there needs to be some strategic decisions moving forward,” he said.

“From a league perspective we don’t have a lot of options.

“When and where mergers occur might be dependent on geographics and how population issues affect towns in the region.

“West of Horsham has seen a few mergers already.”

Mr Muldoon said there was no easy

answer to these issues, however clubs had to be strategic and honest about their long-term futures.

Weekend club-based football and netball club competitions, which many community leaders in the past have described as ‘the glue that joins the region’ or something similar, have long dominated mainstream sport across western Victoria.

Demographic analysts in the past have also used participation and membership figures in these competitions to measure aspects of regional socioeconomic connectivity.

Many towns and communities now represented by individual clubs across the Wimmera-Mallee and Ararat district have previously been homes to whole leagues.

Religious discrimination anxiety W

BY NICK RIDLEY

immera Pride Project group leaders believe Member for Mallee Anne Webster has abandoned her LGBTIQ+ constituents.

The group is concerned Dr Webster, in supporting a Religious Discrimination Bill, has adopted a contradictory view that discriminates against people of sexual diversity.

Wimmera Pride Project members have responded to Dr Webster’s comments regarding a parliamentary joint committee on a human rights report regarding the religious discrimination bill.

Dr Webster, who chairs the committee, said the bill was designed to protect religious people against discrimination. But Wimmera Pride

Project members argue the bill would open instead of close the doors of discrimination.

Dr Webster said on Friday that people of faith were increasingly being silenced for their ‘genuinely held religious beliefs’.

“Minority religions are experiencing this even more so,” she said.

“Australia is a democracy and a broadly tolerant society, this is unacceptable.

“To provide protections for religious people in Australia, or even those who hold no belief, we need to render discrimination on these grounds unlawful at a federal level.

“After carefully considering the evidence, the committee has concluded the religious discrimination legislative

package is a sensible and balanced approach.

“This legislative framework is a shield, not a sword, that rightly affords protections to religious people.”

But Wimmera Pride Project, in a collective response from members, said Dr Webster’s claim the legislation was a shield was incorrect.

The group instead claimed a ‘statement of belief clause’ placed one human right above another based on an interpretation that when considering discrimination laws made religious belief immune from legal consequences.

The group said the report acknowledged the issue and the Attorney General’s department confirmed state tribunals would be unable to be used

when a statement of belief was raised.

“Our submission to the parliamentary joint committee on human rights inquiry begged the committee to remove section 12 of the legislation, otherwise known as the ‘statement of belief clause’,” they said.

“This clause is so troubling because it strips victims of illegal discrimination access to justice by forcing cases from free state tribunals into the Federal Court, which for disadvantaged Australians means they will unlikely be able to afford such a battle.

“In recommending the legislation be passed in its current drafting, Anne Webster has demonstrated her loyalty to her party and coalition colleagues, rather than to her constituents seeking justice.”

Dr Webster said religion was ingrained into a person’s identity and manifested in their manner of life and ethos.

“It is important that people be able to explain, discuss, share and express their moderate genuine faith-based beliefs without the fear of complaints being brought to silence them,” she said.

“The religious discrimination legislative package is about protecting those who have religious belief and religious faith.

“The joint committee received 48,000 survey responses, of which 82 percent believed this legislative package before parliament is worthy of support.”

‘Ripper’ start to 56th event An annual gliding event has taken over the sky above Horsham district in its 56th year of competition.

Entrants in Horsham Flying Club’s Horsham Week gliding competition have enjoyed perfect summer soaring conditions since the event got under way on Saturday.

Horsham Week, based at Horsham aerodrome, has long been one of the most unique sporting events on the Wimmera calendar.

It has often attracted soaring enthusiasts from across Australia and occasionally around the world.

Australia’s national gliding community has also long recognised the event as an opportunity for inexperienced pilots to learn from and compete against experienced competitors in stable thermal conditions generated above flat Wimmera paddocks.

Pilots compete against each other in a points-based competition as they capitalise on their flying skill and thermals, or rising columns of warm air that generate lift, across a course spanning more than 500 kilometres.

Club president Michael Sudholz said pilots had experienced ‘ripper’ conditions since Saturday.

“It has been excellent; the weather has been ideal and generated great thermal conditions,” he said.

He said pilots had a clear sky with visible cumulus clouds forming over the course, directing pilots ‘like thermal beacons’ and enabling gliders to cover ‘fairly large’ distances.

A lead team of experienced gliding officials plot courses for each day of

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER the competition, depending on thermal and general weather conditions.

Pilots sometimes average more than 100 knots across a course.

Mr Sudholz said the competition had attracted a range of pilots with varying levels of experience.

“Some pilots are here for their second competition in Horsham, while others are at the other end of the scale.

Some pilots here have 50-plus years of gliding experience,” he said.

“It’s the same for the actual gliders.

We have some here worth $20,000 and

there are a few elite racing machines here as well, worth about $200,000.”

He said pilots ‘loved’ coming to Horsham because of the event quality and its proximity to amenities.

“We get some really amazing flying.

There is good access to town, with places to stay and places to get a drink and have a meal,” he said.

“It is great to have everyone here.

We have a few pilots from interstate this year too. Normally people come from across Australia, but COVID-19 had made that tougher than usual.

“People sometimes forget the impact it all had on clubs.

“Pilots here have had little opportunity to get up in the air in the last while. Hopefully this year will get everything going again, bring some fresh money through and be good for the wider Horsham community.”

Mr Sudholz said being so reliant on the weather conditions of the day made gliding an enjoyable challenge every time and demonstrated pilot skill.

“It feels great to be so reliant on

Mother Nature. And it always amazes me how the pilots can read the weather and interact with the conditions while up in the air,” he said.

“It is incredible how far they can travel over a long flight.”

Mr Sudholz said the event had support from loyal volunteers who helped with tasks such as marshalling, logistics and cooking.

The final day of the week-long competition is on Saturday.

Advocacy group promotes change

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

A

new community advocacy group has welcomed alternative and independent candidates to stand for Mallee in this year’s Federal Election.

Voices for Mallee is a community education and advocacy group aiming to facilitate a ‘meaningful connection between the people of Mallee and political representatives’.

Voices for Mallee convener Ian Japp said the group hoped to support a candidate who would prioritise the people of Mallee before ‘party interests’.

“With the way Australian politics has been for a while now, party interest has come before community needs,” he said.

“We want to connect communities

to politicians as people – not as party operatives.

“We are not anti-Nationals, rather anti bloc-voting. If, for example, Anne Webster always votes on issues in line with Nationals MPs in Queensland, the chances are, everything that is good for Queensland will not always be good for Mallee.

“What is good for the electorate is not always what is good for the party.”

The Mallee advocacy group has signalled an appetite for candidates such as Horsham councillor Claudia Haenel and former Cohuna dairy farmer and journalist Sophie Baldwin, to stand as independents at a possible May election.

Cr Haenel, who declared her intention to stand for Mallee as an independent in late 2021 but has yet

to formally confirm her position, said she liked not being ‘beholden’ to any political party or points of view.

Ms Baldwin launched her independent campaign in Mildura this week.

Mr Japp said the group would resist a ‘hasty’ endorsement of either candidate.

“They might reflect voices in the Mallee. Hopefully there will be some parallel thoughts with what Mallee voters and our members want,” he said.

Voices for Mallee is hosting ‘kitchen table conversations’ across the Mallee electorate, intending to collate member policy attitudes and possibly endorse a candidate before a 2022 Federal Election.

“We are going through our kitchen-table conversations at the moment,

Mr Japp said while Horsham district had a concentrated Nationals vote, the group would not focus on Horsham as a key battleground in a 2022 Federal Election.

“If change is going to come, then it does need to come from the south of the electorate,” he said.

“However, we are not taking a Horsham-based perspective. That is not our role. We welcome diversity and people’s choices.

“In the meantime, we are concentrated on preparing this document, hopefully before a May election.”

The Nationals’ Anne Webster is Mallee electorate’s sitting member, having won a 2019 election.

Mallee includes 12 municipalites and covers 83,412 square kilometres.

working through some basic questions with people – whether concerns from the electorate are being met by our representatives, or how things could be done better,” he said.

“We are aiming to collate this information and construct a document that reflects Mallee electoral concerns.”

Mr Japp said the group did not intend to be political, but rather provide a ‘seat-wide’ avenue for consultation.

“Mallee is a large electorate and therefore a truly singular view might not be reflected after this process,” he said.

“But we hope to try our best with this document, to reflect the truest views of Mallee.

“We are putting ourselves out there to source the best representative for the people.”

Boost for lentil breeding

SETTING EXAMPLE: Horsham West Primary School 2022 captains Sonny O’Brien, centre, and Ava Conway, right, are keen to put forward ideas they believe will benefit the school this year. Ava said, “I plan to introduce ideas that I have been thinking about and bring to light.” Sonny added, “I have lots of plans to make the school better in certain areas – that’s really what I want to do.” Both agreed they were in the rolls to set examples for other students. They are pictured with vice-captain Lucy Clark. Logan Henskes will also join the leadership team as a vice-captain.

a huge increase in capability, capacity and infrastructure for our lentil-breeding program,” he said.

“Trials in our expansion zones will double, particularly interstate in Western Australia and New South Wales, where our relatively small trial sites will develop into fully-fledged advanced trial sites.

“Overall, it means we can operate a larger and more efficient lentil-breeding program.

“For example, at the moment a variety will take eight to 12 years of research to develop, now we will be able to reduce that timeline by a few years.”

Dr Rosewarne said the news was particularly welcome considering tomorrow was World Pulse Day. “Victoria’s lentil industry contributes $200-million to the Victorian economy each year, with 95 percent of lentils grown in Victorian exported to countries around the world,” he said.

Dr Rosewarne said new infrastructure and equipment at Horsham SmartFarm would include new glasshouses that could provide optimal year-round growing conditions to support both summer and winter trials.

A lentil-breeding program at Horsham’s Grains Innovation Park will undergo a revamp from a new partnership agreement.

Agriculture Victoria and Grains Research and Development Corporation, GRDC, are providing support for an expansion of lentil research and development.

During the past decade, GRDC and research partners have invested $16-million in a Pulse Breeding Australia lentil-breeding program.

The investment has led to nine varieties of the grain with improved yield and better fit for southern Australian farming systems.

Australian lentil production has increased from 196,000 tonnes in 2011 to more than 500,000 tonnes in 2021, with an estimated annual farmgate value of $350-million.

Agriculture Victoria senior research scientist Dr Garry Rosewarne said the lentil research team had welcomed the latest investment partnership with GRDC. He said there was an opportunity to continue creating new and improved lentil varieties for growers.

As a regional city, we play a vital role in providing services for the wider region.

The Community Panel was very clear in its expectation of Council in delivering for our community.

"In 2041, Horsham region is a vibrant, liveable hub that thrives on strong economic growth and social connectedness. Empowering people to live, work and access opportunities for recreation and culture, now and into the future."

The 2021-2024 Council Plan demonstrates how we'll deliver the Panel’s themes of community, accessibility, liveability, sustainability and leadership.

The City Oval/Sawyer Park plans have been created by the community for the community. Council is now seeking funding through state and federal grants to deliver on Stage 1 of this project and minimise the ratepayer commitment.

Developments in Stage 1 will include community facilities (AFL standard change rooms), netball facilities (two netball courts, lighting, change rooms and spectator areas) and event activation such as a stage, supporting infrastructure, roadworks and landscaping.

Upgrading these facilities to be modern, compliant and accessible will meet the long term needs of our residents and address the key liveability criteria from the panel.

Your councillors are committed to being the new visionaries and delivering quality services, facilities and infrastructure that our community wants and deserves.

A new world of sport beckons A

s we take tentative steps in trying to emerge from a COVID-19 pandemic we are already seeing aspects of everyday life that appear to have either changed or at least settled into a form of holding pattern.

Despite how much we try to push for a return to a degree of pre-pandemic normality, we are sure to experience lasting personal, business and community effects across society.

We’ve already seen changes, from the subtle to the dramatic, to how we communicate, go about our business, interact and socialise. We’re also suspecting many changes are becoming embedded as part of a ‘new’ normal.

If there is one part of traditional life we can readily monitor, through memberships and volunteers, it is how keen people are to re-engage or otherwise with a competitive sporting culture that has long provided a conduit between and within communities.

Keen observers would have noticed some energetic children getting back into recreational activities.

But they perhaps might have also noted an absence of others, depending on everything from childhood whims and parental encouragement to community health fears.

They might have also observed, curiously, a great hesitancy in adults in continuing their involvement in

competitive sport. We can’t help but wonder whether the pandemic, combined with ever-pressing individual workloads and perhaps a greater acknowledgment of armchair entertainment, has provided many previously active adults with an opportunity to ‘opt out’.

Add the well-known issues of shifting and ageing populations, passive

fitness alternatives and so on and we might well be left with diminished participation in competitive sport, particularly in the adult population.

There is more than a hint of this in the air, especially when considering mainstream sporting pursuits such as football and cricket in the region, but it is also revealing itself in other sporting pastimes.

If this is happening or might happen, is it good or bad for communities or simply represents changing habits and change in society in general?

We’re unsure – we could well be simply entering new ground and a new world of ideals.

What we know is that many of us

yearn for physical competition – to challenge ourselves against an opponent or opponents as well as ourselves – regardless of the sports we choose, our age and where we live. We also love to barrack.

Many of us have had it drilled into us that participation and trying hard is all that matters in community sport.

But any who have played competitive sport have always known it is always better to win than lose.

As we venture into a post-COVID world we’re going to have all sorts of choices and directions to consider.

Being involved in or a participant in competitive community sport is one of them.

Horsham Greyhound Racing Club is calling for applications from Wimmera community clubs and organisations for its new community grants program.

As well as $600,000 the club spends in the Wimmera on wages and services annually, its committee has decided to extend the support by offering the funding program.

Club manager Justin Brilliant said the program would initially offer up to $10,000 overall to community groups to help with essential infrastructure, uniforms and programs.

He said projects to increase access and participation to group activities and training services would also qualify.

“Up to $2000 will be available to any individual group, so we plan on helping several organisations at a time,” he said.

“The club has long been an active fundraiser for specific groups in the community. Hopefully, this ushers in a new era of strengthening existing, and building new, community connections for Horsham Greyhound Racing Club.

“We are entrenched in the fabric of the community and as always, want to continue to be highly engaged with

the district and its people. We’re in a strong financial position at the moment and are keen to provide support to groups that might have struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mr Brilliant said there was a possibility the club would offer a second round of the community grants program later in the year.

“The closing date for applications is February 19, so it’s crucial that clubs keen to make the most of this opportunity get their submissions in to us,” he said.

“Successful applicants will be notified and then attend a March 12 gala event during a long-weekend community race day to receive their funding.”

Club representatives can call Mr Brilliant for more information on 5382 4329 or email jbrilliant@grv. org.au.

Greyhound racing has been an integral part of Horsham and Wimmera sport and society for more than 120 years.

The Horsham Greyhound Racing Club of today, based at Horsham showground, formed in 1971.

The club presents almost 70 race meetings in Horsham annually.

Weeks honoured during 14th ride A

BY NICK RIDLEY

determined man, a friendly negotiator and a hard person to turn away.

These are words Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation chief executive Neil Soullier used to describe Ararat Blue Ribbon Foundation branch president the late Terry Weeks.

Mr Weeks died on Saturday morning after a long battle with illness, the day before the Ararat branch launched its 14th Grampians Ride to Remember.

The ride raises money for East Grampians Health Service while recognising police officers who have died in the line of duty.

Mr Weeks was a former senior police officer in Ararat and after his retirement volunteered with organisations such as the foundation and Australian Red Cross.

Mr Soullier said he was heartbroken by the loss of a valued friend.

“So many people in Ararat community will also miss him. They don’t make coppers like Terry anymore,” he said.

“He was respected and involved with so much in Ararat. He made it a much better place for people to live.”

Mr Soullier said Ararat Blue Ribbon branch would continue to operate strongly.

He said Mr Weeks was a great believer of involving people in projects and recognising their work.

“Terry was an effective manager. He assembled a group of decent people and he was also blessed having Di Radford as his secretary,” Mr Soullier said.

Mrs Radford said she was also devastated by the loss of her ‘best friend’.

“Terry was a great leader, with great character and also a wonderful community person,” she said.

“His, mine and the branch’s dream was to raise $1-million for East Grampians Health Service and our dream has nearly come true.”

Ride spokesman Dean Pinniger said the 14th Grampians Ride to Remember had gone ‘without a hitch’.

He said the event attracted more than 600 motorcyclists, police officers and members of the community.

“We were quite surprised by the number of people who came to Alexandra Oval in Ararat to look at the motorbikes,” he said.

Sponsorships In 2014 the Horsham Sports & Community Club entered into a partnership with the Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN and their partners to help deliver the Let’s Read Program. The program looks to improve the literacy levels and education outcomes of our region’s young people. To date the Club has provided $18,000 towards the program.

Tim Shaw, Executive Officer of Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN “We are committed to improving the literacy levels and education outcomes of our young people. The future prosperity and well-being of the Wimmera (and the nation) depends on having a skilled literate workforce. I am confident that Let’s Read is making a significant impact on improving literacy rates, academic achievement, engagement of young people and their families with education and, ultimately, the skill levels of our workforce.

Our challenge is to ensure that all families get the encouragement, resources and skills to support their children to succeed in their education and become productive members of our communities. We are strongly committed to continue to deliver the Let’s Read program with a continued focus on supporting disadvantaged families to ensure that every child has access to books in their home.

On behalf of 9387 young families, playgroups, kindergartens, schools and Let’s Read partners, I would like to thank the Board, management and members of the Horsham Sports and Community Club for their sponsorship of the Let’s Read partnerships in the Hindmarsh, Horsham, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack shires. Together, we are making a real difference in the lives of all children in our region, particularly those children who most need our support”

Toolondo uncertainty in formula

BY DEAN LAWSON and NICK RIDLEY

D

ry, cracked and ghostly’ probably best ‘ describes a vista confronting visitors to Lake Toolondo south of Horsham.

The lake, a renowned trout-fishing destination for sporting anglers across Australia, is close to being empty.

Official figures show this natural wetland that can hold 50,530 megalitres when full, is sitting at four percent of capacity.

The circumstance has prompted some Horsham district people to again question why this lake struggles to capture the attention and care they believe it deserves.

The issue? Lake Toolondo, despite its popularity and status as one of the premier freshwater bodies in the Wimmera and formerly a key part of a stock and domestic supply system, is caught up in a water-supply and sharing formula that involves much of western Victoria.

This involves everything from diminishing inflows caused by a drying climate, water-extraction inefficiencies and a water-sharing agreement between stakeholders.

As a result, unless there is significant run-off from rain in the Wimmera catchment, it remains vulnerable to being empty or almost empty for years on end.

Federation University Australia Water Engineering Associate Professor Andrew Barton said he believed water-sharing-agreement changes based on entitlement-holder compromises provided the only solution to maintain consistent water levels at Toolondo.

He said managing a connective relationship between Rocklands Reservoir and Lake Toolondo would determine any change and one or the other, ‘but not both’, would be the beneficiary.

Mr Barton said a water-sharing agreement had scope for refinement and there were many factors regarding issues surrounding Toolondo.

“The rules have been reviewed several times.

The fundamental problem with every review of the rules is that the climate is drying and that water resources are becoming increasingly scarce,” he said.

“It is increasingly difficult to keep large volumes of water in either Rocklands or Toolondo, except in the most wet years.

“The current rules are in place to share water between Rocklands and Toolondo, and to balance the various recreational, environmental and watersupply needs between them.

“Arguments for changing the rules are essentially ideas for putting more water in either Rocklands or Toolondo; but you can’t do both.

“In my opinion, there is scope to refine the rules, but the community and key stakeholders need to agree on those changes.

“Rocklands and Toolondo need to work together to support the overall water-supply system.”

Mr Barton said Victorian Water Minister Lisa Neville ultimately had the responsibility to approve water-sharing rules endorsed by entitlement holders.

He said to change a policy, ‘all parties would work with their customers, stakeholders and re-

gional communities to inform any rule change’.

“Entitlement holders, together with the storage manager, would need to agree,” he said.

“Once a revised set of rules are agreed to, an amendment would need to be made to any impacted bulk or environmental entitlement and updates made to the storage management rules.

“The minister for water might need to sign off on any changes, and the Department for Environment, Land, Water and Planning would help facilitate this.

“Changes need to be informed by detailed modelling. Rocklands and Toolondo work together as integral components of the broader Grampians water-supply system.

“They cannot be changed without potentially dramatic impacts to other parts of the water-supply system.”

Well documented

Lake Toolondo’s issues have been ongoing and, for many years, well documented.

Many had believed the lake’s future was assured when former State Minister Tim Holding announced the opening of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline on April 15, 2010.

The pipeline, one of the largest infrastructure projects in Australia, replaced 17,500 kilometres of inefficient open channels, subject to enormous evaporation and seepage, with 9159km of pipes.

The pipe saves on average 103-billion litres of water a year and provides continuous supply to about 7000 rural farms and 36 towns across the Wimmera-Mallee and beyond.

A water-sharing agreement established in 2011 requires Rocklands Reservoirs to hold 116,000 megalitres of water before a release into Lake Toolondo can occur.

Mr Barton said the Rocklands-Toolondo agreement was a result of pipeline objectives.

“The Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline Project was funded with the very clear objective of returning water to the environment, improving the reliability of water supply, and making new water available for growth and new industry,” he said.

“The reservoir system operating rules were changed to help support those objectives, including the current arrangements at Rocklands and Toolondo.

“The current rules are underpinned by extensive modelling and stakeholder consultation, and are aimed at striking a balance between recreational, environmental and water supply interests across the Rocklands and Toolondo surrounding and downstream communities.”

Mr Barton said he understood there was a water-entitlement review underway in the region.

“So now would be the best time to obtain stakeholder views and see where rules could be refined,” he said.

“However, individuals and communities should feel free to express their opinion at any time, and so the government and its institutions should take the time to hear and consider those opinions.

“The challenge, however, is in how to balance those competing opinions.

Kealy: Schools short on tests

AUSTRALIA’S INVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY AND CREATING THOUSANDS OF JOBS. IT’S WIN-WIN.

We're creat ing a hydrogen industry which cou ld create more than 8,000 jobs and billions in economic act ivity by 2050.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy believes schools across western Victoria have not received sufficient numbers of rapid antigen tests.

Ms Kealy said a ‘number’ of schools across Lowan electorate were yet to receive enough supplies for students and staff, in line with government recommendations for students and staff to test for COVID-19 twice a week.

“I am aware of one school that has only received enough test kits for two thirds of its cohort, meaning hundreds of students have not had the opportunity to access a test,” she said.

Ms Kealy said teachers had also raised concerns tests were not delivered before they returned to work.

Ms Kealy blamed the State Government for not securing rapid tests in the middle of 2021 and criticised the government’s announcement of rapid antigen test manufacturing in Victoria.

“We’ve seen the government spruik its support for RATs to be manufactured in Victoria, promising one million tests a month from April. But this is too little, too late,” she said.

“Victorians have been battling to get access to rapid tests for months, but the government shunned the need for them when they had the opportunity to procure supplies last year.

“We should have had a secure supply chain in place months ago, but instead the government is playing catch-up and leaving Victorians to once again pay the price for their mistakes.”

Northern Grampians Shire Council will host information sessions in Stawell and St Arnaud this month to explain its community, arts and culture grants programs.

The council will also host evening online sessions.

Mayor Tony Driscoll said many people in the shire preferred face-to-face interactions with the council, but COVID-19 restrictions had previously made this difficult.

“We are hoping that community groups and residents who are interested in applying for either a community grant or an arts and culture grant will join us at one of the sessions either in-person or online,” he said.

The sessions allow potential applicants an opportunity to discuss with councillors about who can apply, how to apply, what kind of projects qualify for funding, assessment criteria and how to write grant applications.

Sessions in Stawell will be on February 16 and 25 in Stawell Town Hall’s Lonsdale Room.

A morning session will be from 8.30am to 1pm and an afternoon session from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

St Arnaud sessions will be on February 18 and 23 in St Arnaud Town Hall’s Perry Room.

Morning sessions will be from 8.30am to 1pm and afternoon sessions 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

New chapter in evolving network A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

north-west Victoria business-support network will launch a new hub in the Wimmera this month as part of a regional expansion.

West Vic Business, formerly Business Horsham, with support from Hindmarsh Shire Council, will launch its new Hindmarsh chapter on February 24 at Nhill Community Centre.

Former West Vic Business chair and Horsham entrepreneur Paul Atherton, who has launched business-coaching venture The Powerful Life, and Horsham Bonnie and Clyde’s Pizzeria owner Dan Lukazsewski will be guest speakers.

West Vic Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the organisation’s focus in 2022 was to help drive positive change across business communities in the Wimmera and northern Grampians.

“A great way of doing this is to showcase the amazing stories of those who have faced struggles and reinvented themselves,” she said.

Mr Lukazsewski said it was important for new and established businesses to be involved in a business network.

“When we first opened in 2010, we were new to business ourselves, but we were lucky enough to get a few contacts and learn a few things,” he said.

“It is so important in a rural area to get a feel on the ground of the business environment from others.

“You can do your research and work it out on paper, but if I had my time again, I would have connected with a business group.

“The one-on-one support is so beneficial.”

Mr Lukazsewski said he empathised with re-

tailers who had battled COVID-19 and on-line shopping competitors as well as other hard-hit hospitality businesses.

He also emphasised the need for businesses to continue evolving and adapting their models.

“If you are not continually evolving and changing you burn out, you become a part of the landscape. You must be at the forefront to be successful,” he said.

Bigger picture

Council corporate and community services director Monica Revell said improved business networking opportunities were part of 20212025 council plan development discussions.

“Following the expansion and launch of West Vic Business, an opportunity was identified to form a partnership between Hindmarsh Shire and West Vic Business for the benefit of Hindmarsh businesses,” she said.

Mrs Revell said the council was excited to invite Hindmarsh businesses to the first networking session.

“While the first event will be relatively informal and will provide an overview of the business network, it will also be an opportunity to attract a diverse range of businesses within Hindmarsh Shire to consider how we can create positive change and momentum across our business community,” she said.

Mrs Revell said the first session would also involve round-table discussions and a question and answer session, to set a theme for future sessions.

“We have many businesses in our shire doing exciting things and we look forward to hearing their stories throughout our sessions,” she said.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Murtoa skatepark push A proposal to develop a major skatepark in Murtoa captured the attention of Western Victorian upper house parliamentarian Andy Meddick during his visit to the Wimmera.

Mr Meddick discussed the development of Rabl Park in the town’s recreational precinct with Yarriambiack Shire Council mayor Kylie Zanker.

The council is applying to the State Government to install a pump track, toddler playground and walking tracks linking the infrastructure throughout the park.

Cr Zanker said the council

planned to contribute $56,000 towards the proposed $140,000 grant.

Mr Meddick also used the visit to assess a need for a new childcare centre in Murtoa, saying the two projects were linked by community need.

“Having this skate park will provide a real focus for youth of the community, as they grow older it becomes a hub for them,” he said.

“It’s not just about psychical exercise, it becomes about social cohesion as this community grows.

“As we come out of

COVID-19, these things become vastly important.”

Murtoa College acting principal Shannon Argall said there had been a push by college students for a new skatepark in the town.

“It has not just been this year’s group of kids wanting the skatepark, it has been the year prior as well who have pushed for the park,” he said.

“They have been working on social advocacy and ways that they can lobby and influence change in the community.”

Full lake keeps sport club busy A

sports club based at Green Lake near Horsham is exploring further opportunities to capitalise on a return of water to the lake.

Green Lake Water Sports Club secretary Justin Brilliant said the lake was generating considerable community interest and use and it would be important to capitalise on the appeal.

“We have a few projects on the go and are always exploring opportunities for events and attractions in the future, especially if everything starts to open up more as society gets on top of the pandemic,” he said.

The club is an extension of Horsham Yacht Club and Mr Brilliant said public interest in using redeveloped clubroom reception facilities at the lake had been ‘mind-blowing’.

“The rooms have been booked out for functions from December through to February and we’re now taking inquiries for beyond March,” he said.

“At one stage, at the start of December, we had about 42 booking requests from one social-media post and the popularity has continued. We’ve actually had to knock back a lot of requests.

“The activation of the use of the lake has been incredible. Apart from our busy clubrooms, barely a day goes by when there hasn’t been boats on the water, swimmers or picnickers out there. All sorts of people are dropping in to experience the environment.

“It has more than justified Horsham Rural City Council support in getting water for the lake this year.

“It has also given us a good grounding to push for more regular flows into the lake.

“The clubrooms have been subject to major refurbishments during the past few years and with water in Green Lake has provided a new event experience for locals and visitors alike.

“The truth is we were never in any doubt this would be the outcome when we were part of a lobby group trying to guarantee water for the lake.”

Green Lake, sitting next to the Western Highway on the southeast approaches to Horsham, received an allocation of recreational water as part of a financial arrangement between GWMWater and Horsham Rural City Council last year.

The success of efforts to win a water allocation for Green Lake has generated speculation about the future of other drying or dry district lakes including Lake Toolondo and Natimuk Lake and Stawell district’s Lake Lonsdale.

Supply and storage are subject to vastly different catchment and management circumstances involving stock, domestic and environmental allocations.

Lake Toolondo, south of Horsham, is a considerably larger impoundment to Green and directly tied to levels at Rocklands Reservoir. Natimuk Lake is separate from the regional supply system with an independent wetland catchment, and shallow Lake Lonsdale, subject to significant evaporation, is part of Mt William Creek.

All three boast considerable recreational and environmental attributes.

SETTLING IN: Jellybeans Playgroup co-ordinator Anubha Jall, right, with, Jiya, 4, Kriya, 2, and Dimple Kerai settle into a new home at Horsham Community House.

New home for Jellybeans group Wimmera Development Association Settlement Services has found Jellybeans Playgroup a new home for 2022.

The group will relocate to Horsham Neighbourhood House following a successful program at Horsham Uniting Church.

WDA Settlement Services established Jellybeans Playgroup to help immigrants and their young families settle into Horsham by sharing traditions and connecting them with communities in the area.

The playgroup opens its doors to all members of Horsham community, celebrating diversity and inclusion among its members.

Jellybeans Playgroup is open to pre-school aged children accom-

panied by parents or caregivers.

Jellybeans co-ordinator Anubha Jalla Das said she was pleased to co-ordinate the program.

“I know how hard it can be for mums settling into a new area and I want them to feel supported,” she said.

WDA Settlement Services manager Sara Barron said Horsham Neighbourhood House was Jellybeans’ third home since it was established in 2014.

“We are delighted to be able to continue to offer this important service to our communities in partnership with Horsham Neighbourhood House,” she said.

Horsham Neighbourhood House manager Charlie Helyar encour-

aged residents to use the service.

“WDA, Oasis Wimmera, Horsham Rotary Club and Horsham Neighbourhood House hosted a very successful Christmas party at the house,” he said.

“It was the perfect opportunity for Jellybeans families to check out the new venue, which was very well received.

“I am looking forward to hosting Jellybeans in 2022. A fun time is always assured.”

People seeking more information about Jellybeans Playgroup and Wimmera Development Association Settlement Services can call Ms Barron on 0418 964 050 or email sbarron@wda.org.au.

Visitors drawn to Grampians A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera and Western District tourism leader has celebrated the attraction of Grampians destinations.

He has also highlighted continued enthusiasm tourists have for businesses in the region.

Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said accommodation providers across the region reported a ‘bumper year’ despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The festive season was great and we still had a lot of day-trippers visiting the region in the early stages of the holidays,” he said.

“We saw occupancy levels at capacity right through that period, which was great for businesses that have done it tough during the past 12 months.

“We did see a slowdown of day visitors when cases began to rise again mid-way through January. However, visitors were still making use of any accommodation they had booked but were not venturing out and spending in the restaurants and shops.”

Mr Sleeman said he admired businesses across the region for adapting to difficult circumstances.

“I have seen an amazing job from businesses to also manage staff-isolation and close-contact disruptions in this strange period,” he said.

“They have adapted, changed and pivoted the best they could.”

Mr Sleeman said Grampians Tourism would continue to support businesses in

2022, as worker shortages remained a problem for the tourism industry.

“It really is a big issue for the whole region,” he said.

“We have been addressing this issue with our local, state and federal government partners, supporting Grampians tourism with industry-strengthening activities.

“The Grampians continues to be very appealing despite COVID-19 – the demand is still there.

“It is now about managing workforce issues. We have received $60,000 from the Victorian Government to try to manage worker-shortage issues and that is the area we will be focussed on for the next 12 months.”

Mr Sleeman said additional funding had enabled Halls Gap’s Grampians Grape Escape, a wine, food and music festival, to become a three-day rather than two-day celebration in May this year.

“It is the longest-running food and wine festival in Victoria and we know it attracts visitors from across Victoria and interstate,” he said.

“It is an exciting time for the Grampians region. It says, ‘we are back’.”

Mr Sleeman encouraged tourism-related businesses and industries to reach out to his organisation in 2022.

“If there are businesses in the Wimmera or Mallee that need support, we will be rolling out a range of industrystrengthening activities to support all business that rely on ‘visit economy spending’,” he said.

Opportunity for youth to shine A Wimmera arts company will host instrument workshops and a performance showcase as part of an arts festival in Stawell this month.

Stawell Performing Arts Company will stage a youth talent showcase, ‘GYE Factor’, as well as singing, ukulele and Celtic lever harp workshops during Stawell Performing Arts Fest on February 25 and 26.

The youth showcase encourages musicians, dancers, actors and comedians aged between 12 and 25 to perform on the Friday night, in front of a live audience and a pan-

el of arts professionals. Instrument workshops for all ages will follow on Saturday and culminate in a night performance from workshop leaders and participants.

Frances Thiele will host an introductory beginner harp workshop, with harps available to borrow if participants do not have their own.

Polly Christie will host a singing workshop and Nicki Johnson and Craig Barrie a beginner to intermediate ukulele workshop.

Stawell’s Isobel Smith, 10, is looking forward to joining the uku-

lele workshop. “I started playing the ukulele about 12 months ago and it is well and truly fun to play,” she said.

“I’m going to stick with the ukulele for the moment. Dad does have a guitar but it’s too big for me.”

Participants will need to bring their own ukulele.

The company’s talent showcase is free for entrants, but registration is necessary.

Organisers said the event would follow state COVID-19 venue and vaccination requirements.

Childcare at heart of visit W

BY NICK RIDLEY

estern Victorian upperhouse parliamentarian Andy Meddick has used a visit to the Wimmera to emphasise a need for greater childcare services in Yarriambiack Shire.

The Animal Justice Party representative made the point after visiting a site for a proposed Dunmunkle Childcare Centre at Murtoa last week.

Yarriambiack Shire Council is applying to the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund for $400,000 to go towards the project.

The council has proposed to contribute $408,000.

Mr Meddick said a Murtoa childcare centre would help build employment opportunities for people in the district restricted by family circumstances.

“We need a childcare centre somewhere in this community,” he said.

“We have a crisis here, people can’t go to work because they are unable to get a childcare spot.

“The only option for them is to travel extensively and that is not viable, from a psychical or financial stance.”

Murtoa parent Katelyn Tepper agreed with Mr Meddick’s sentiment.

“There has been research that has shown early education has a lot of benefits,” she said.

“To be able to access that in our town opens up so many opportunities.

“I work a few days in Warrack-

Yarriambiack mayor Kylie Zanker said the council was keen to push ahead with the project so parents

Applications for Horsham Rural City Council’s Community Grants Program are now open for not-for-profit groups.

Clubs and organisations can apply for a share of funding for projects that directly benefit residents via the council’s website until February 28.

Grants during the past 12 months have created dozens of projects from $201,436 in allocated funding.

Mayor Robyn Gulline said community organisations were the lifeblood of the region.

“The council is proud of its community grants program, which has helped hundreds of notfor-profit groups, committees, clubs and organisations to bring their ideas to life,” she said.

“In the past we have allocated funding to groups for sporting equipment, clubroom refurbishments, hall upgrades, marketing and logistical costs for events.

“I hope to see a diverse range of applications for this funding round, supporting communityled projects from all corners of the city.”

Cr Gulline said grants of up to $10,000 were available from this year’s program.

“The majority of successful applications range between $500 and $5000 and are awarded to not-for-profit organisations to enhance facilities to people in the Horsham municipality,” she said.

“Applications are assessed against a range of criteria, including demonstrated need and level of community benefit.”

Cr Gulline said perspective applicants should read the program guidelines.

“It’s important to speak with a council officer, listed in the guidelines, about your application to give it every chance of success,” she said.

To be eligible for funding, projects must happen between July 1 and June 30 2023.

People can find out more about eligibility and apply on council’s website, www.hrcc.vic. gov.au.

Super in your 30s

FINANCE

f you are in your 30s, chances are life revolves around children and a mortgage.

focus

As much as we love our kids, the fact is they cost quite a lot. As for the mortgage, this is the age during which repayments are generally at their highest, relative to income.

And on top of that, one parent is often not working, or working only part time. Even if children are not a factor, career building is paramount during this decade.

Are you really expected to think about super at a time like this? Well, yes, there are a few things you need to pay attention to.

portfolio. With decades to go until retirement, a portfolio with a higher proportion of shares, property and other growth assets is likely to out-perform one that is dominated by cash and fixed interest investments.

But be mindful: the higher the return, the higher the associated risk.

Another option for low-income earners to explore is the co-contribution. If you are eligible, and if you can afford to contribute up to $1000 to your super, you could receive up to $500 from the government.

Short-term plans

As careers start to hit their strides, the 30s can be a time for earning a good income.

If children are not yet in the picture, but are part of the future plan, then it is an excellent idea to squirrel away and invest any spare cash to prepare for a drop in family income when junior arrives.

Just remember that any savings you want to access before retirement should not be invested in superannuation.

Super and insurance

For any young family, financial protection is crucial. The loss of or disablement of either parent would be disastrous. In most cases both parents should be covered by life and disability insurance.

If this insurance is taken out through your superannuation fund the premiums are paid out of your accumulated super balance.

While this means that your ultimate retirement benefit will be a bit less than if you took out insurance directly, it doesn’t impact on the current family budget.

However, don’t just accept the amount of cover that many funds automatically provide. It might not be adequate for your needs.

Whether it’s super, insurance, establishing investments or building your career, there’s a lot to think about when you’re thirty-something.

• The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

Long-term comfort

Don’t be alarmed, but by the time a 35-yearold couple today reaches retirement age in 32 years’ time, the effects of inflation could mean that they will need an income of about $164,287 a year to enjoy a ‘comfortable’ retirement.

If you are on a 30 percent or higher marginal tax rate, willing to stash some cash for the long term, and would like to reduce your tax bill, then consider making salary sacrifice – pre-tax – contributions to super.

For most people super contributions and earnings are taxed at 15 percent, so savings will grow faster in super than outside it.

Growing the nest egg

Even if you can’t make additional contributions right now there is one thing you can do to help achieve a comfortable retirement: ensure your super is invested in an appropriate

Rent relief scheme extended for now

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

T

he State Government has extended pandemic legislation covering commercial lease negotiation for two months as lingering effects of COVID-19 restrictions continue to impact business turnover.

The State Government’s Commercial Tenancy Relief Scheme, extended until March 15, 2022, will require landlords to provide rent relief to commercial tenants, proportional to the business’s reduction in turnover.

The legislation requires the landlord to waive half of the remaining owed rent for the relief period, while the other half is to be deferred.

Eligible commercial tenants with an annual turnover of $10-million or less, who have suffered a decline in turnover of at least 30 percent due to COVID-19, can access the scheme.

Stacey Taig, West Vic Business ambassador, said rent payments had been the predominant stumbling block for businesses throughout pandemic.

“Rent is a major impediment in business and landlords improving their current financial situation,” she said.

“Landlords want sustainable

profits and the best solution for both parties is to ensure business can survive any continuing effects of this COVID-19 downturn.

“Compounding issues have continued to hurt businesses since the start of the pandemic.

“A lack of staff, declining financial means and increasing hesitation of tourists visiting the region, housing shortages and supply chain blockages are issue that don’t have a ‘quick fix’.

“Business owners are asking for some patience and understanding.”

Support

Victorian Small Business Commission will provide information and mediation to tenants and landlords if required.

Commercial landlords might be eligible for support through a State Government Commercial Landlord Hardship Fund.

The legislated ‘freeze’ on rents will also continue.

State Government Minister for Small Business Jaala Pulford said the rental-relief scheme was extended because businesses were going through a ‘challenging’ period due to an Omicron wave.

“The new regulations will help to ease the financial burden for many small and family businesses that are facing hardship

caused by the pandemic,” she said.

“I would like to acknowledge and thank commercial landlords who continue to do the right thing by their tenants during such challenging times.”

Ms Taig said during previous rollouts of the legislation, landlord sentiment was mixed.

“The majority of landlords understand the long-term benefits of keeping businesses alive and are willing to negotiate with their tenant,” she said.

“The small-business commissioner has been fantastic in providing mediation when it was needed.”

Ms Taig said while she was optimistic about business turnover increasing in 2022, she was aware effects of COVID-19 restrictions still lingered, even if the state was not currently in lockdown.

“In lockdown, the pain businesses felt was obvious to everyone. But as we move to a point were COVID-19 is becoming more a part of our lives, it can be easy to forget the reasons for productivity loss are still here,” she said.

Ms Taig said 2022 required creative solutions and adaptability from the business community to navigate long-term problems and move forward positively.

BE PREPARED: Country Fire Authority District 17 community engagement officers Kevin Sleep, left, and Chris Carey want people to make sure they are ready incase of fire in the home. The duo set up a community information stall at Horsham Plaza to help spread their message.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

CFA reminder to residents An experienced Country Fire Authority member has reminded Wimmera residents to have a safety plan this fire season.

CFA District 17 community engagement officer Kevin Sleep said the state had another six weeks of summer and people should have a safety plan if confronted with a fire.

“The fundamental thing is to have a plan and practice it and also have a working smoke detector,” he said.

“Detectors more than 10 years old should be replaced – now the batteries can last for 10 years.”

Mr Sleep said smoke-detector technology had developed significantly over the years.

“There are now wireless smoke detectors, where you can have three of them emplaced at once, so if one goes off, they will all go off,” he said.

Mr Sleep said people mowing lawns or slashing grass should plan to do so on cool days to prevent the risk of fire.

“If you are mowing or slashing, have a water cart and make sure to download the Emergency Vic App,” he said.

High quality service with ‘no drips’ SHARING POSITION: Wimmera Health Care Group leading executive officer Catherine Morley, left, and primary services director Robyn Salt.

Salt sprinkled across region

T

he appointment of Robyn Salt as primary services director at Wimmera Health Care Group has provided an example of Grampians Health sharing its expertise.

Ms Salt has worked for more than two years as Edenhope District Memorial Hospital primary health manager.

She has accepted an offer to jointly take the reins at Wimmera Health Care Group, part of a Grampians Health collective.

Campus leading executive officer Catherine Morley said Ms Salt’s appointment was important for many services under a primary care banner.

“It’s great to have Robyn’s expertise and knowledge available to help our team,”she said.

“We advertised for the role extensively and it’s really great that Grampians Health had the experience and knowledge within the health service and that there’s a way we can look at supporting campuses across the service,” she said.

“This is a great opportunity for Grampians Health to look at how it can share expertise and resources across the western sector of the health service and support us all to focus on increasing access to care and services, supporting staff and making sure our community receives appropriate and timely health services to keep them well at home.”

Ms Salt said she was looking forward to learning how the Wimmera group provided primarycare services.

“I want to see what is being provided and then look at areas we can make any improvement on because I believe the future is actually community-based care,” she said.

“Between Edenhope and Horsham, we can have a more co-ordinated approach to health care and use our resources more effectively.”

Ms Salt said her first week had seen a collaborative approach to COVID-positive pathways,

using the COVID Care Monitor Ballarat supports.

“There is also an arrangement for allied health professionals to assist with sub-acute patients who can be transferred to Edenhope, should there be a surge of COVID patients hospitalised at Horsham,” she said.

Ms Salt is originally from Kaniva and started her aged-care career in a 10-year stint at Bacchus Marsh.

She also worked at Ballan before getting an offer to work in a carer-respite program at Ballarat Health Services.

Ms Salt said she loved that role.

“It actually opened my eyes to the other side of caring for somebody who was actually aged or had dementia or a physical disability,” she said.

After caring for her cancer-stricken parents, Ms Salt returned to the workforce in an assessment role with City of Ballarat Aged and Disability Services before managing the aged and disability services program at Moorabool Shire for 10 years.

Her next role was as regional development coordinator for a Grampians Sector Development Team where she introduced 38 health, local government, multicultural and Aboriginal centres to a new method for providing services.

While in a consultative role at Edenhope, Ms Salt took on a primary health manager job, accepting the position on the proviso that she had a mentor she could train on the job to take over when her three-year commitment ended.

Ms Salt said she expected her role at Edenhope and the new position at Horsham to end on June 30 and she would alternate them weekly until there was a structural decision on future requirements.

“My role at Edenhope is more of a business role and finding the money to help us meet the targets so we can do the right thing by the community,” she said.

Webster: Push for Australian made M

BY NICK RIDLEY

ember for Mallee Anne Webster is confident a national plan to mitigate the impact of a shortage of a critical agricultural fuel supplement is progressing strongly.

Dr Webster said it was imperative the production of diesel-emission-reduction additive AdBlue occurred onshore in Australia.

“The ability to trust an Australian producer, particularly with something as critical as AdBlue, will mean that Australian trucking companies, farmers and people who drive diesel cars like me, will know that they can buy it on Australian soil,” she said.

In December last year, Federal Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor led a taskforce with chemical experts and struck a deal with fertiliser company Incitec Pivot to produce urea in Australia.

The company has increased its production of AdBlue by about 800 percent.

Mr Taylor said at the time, global supply pressures streaming from increased domestic use in China had led to international issues in securing refined urea, a key ingredient for AdBlue.

Minyip-Donald farmer and Victorian Farmers Federation Grains Council member Ryan Milgate is among farming representatives to have spoken about the need for AdBlue to legally meet diesel-engine requirements.

“The supply seems to be better, but the price of AdBlue has gone through the roof,” he said.

“It was about 90 cents last year and now it’s about $2.70 a litre.”

Urea producers

Mr Milgate said having onshore producers of urea in Australia was a must.

“The issue is when the supply-chain resumes in countries like China, as consumers we become our worst enemies, we will buy anything that we think is cheap,” he said.

“But when supply is short, we say ‘why don’t we make it in Australia?’”

Dr Webster said if producers of urea such as China continued their production of the chemical, individuals should have the choice to buy the product from Australia or China.

“Producers such as trucking companies are interested in prices, but they are also interested in security – where we are with

China right now, it’s insecure,” she said.

Dr Webster said Incitec Pivot in late January produced more than three-millionlitres of AdBlue representing about 75 percent of Australia’s AdBlue needs.

“It doesn’t matter what you are producing or buying, with China you never know when they will pull the rug from underneath your feet,” she said.

Dr Webster said chemical companies saw exporting to an international market more profitable than a domestic market.

“Things need to shift for us to be able to improve our supply chain, that will improve our self-reliance as a nation,” she said.

“We have had a paradigm shift in the past two years because of COVID-19, which has created the necessity and the need for Australia to have its own supply chain.”

Dr Webster has also welcomed production of urea as a fertiliser in Australia, again promoting the concept of an Australian-made product.

She was responding to the announcement of $4.3 billion Federal Government project to convert Australian gas into about two million tonnes of urea each year.

Charity workers prioritise palliative care The generosity of a Wimmera charity store will support Grampians Health patients in palliative care in Horsham.

Craft for a Cause shop in McLachlan Street has donated $5000 to Horsham’s palliative-care team for a portable oxygen concentrator.

Volunteers, with help from the Uniting Church, operate the shop, selling Wimmera-made craft work, homemade produce and plants.

Shop manager Jan Morris said the store relied on stock from more than 100 district suppliers.

“We sell their items for them and keep 25 percent, which is then donated to a cause that we choose,” she said.

Horsham-based Grampians Health palliative-care nurse Jody Membrey said the donation would be a great support to patients.

“Palliative patients generally have an oxygen concentrator at home to keep up their oxygen levels, but they can’t take that with them to appointments,” she said.

However, the patients can borrow the portable device

Ms Membrey said the donation came at the right time

because a previous device had stopped working.

“It’s good to have one again and would be even better to have a back-up one,” she said.

Town hall clinic blitz

E

ast Grampians Health Service will be running a three-day vaccination blitz in Ararat Town Hall this month.

A town hall clinic will be offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for first, second and booster doses for people 16 and older as well as children’s vaccinations for a five to 11 age group.

The clinic will be on February 24, 25 and 26 from 8.30am to 4.30pm each day, with walk-in appointments only.

Health service chief executive Nick Bush encouraged people aged 16 and older yet to have their COVID-19 vaccination, first, second or booster doses, to take advantage of the three-day clinic.

“At this clinic we will also be offering vaccinations for children aged five to 11, so if you were unable to get your child vaccinated during the school holidays, the clinic will be the perfect opportunity to do so,” he said.

“The uptake of vaccinations in Ararat local government area during the past year has been magnificent and we are hoping this three-day clinic will be the incentive for people to get their booster dose, or even their first or second dose if they have been hesitant in the past.

“Being triple dosed is the best

way to protect yourselves, your families and your community from serious illness.”

To late last week, 42 percent of children aged five to 11 in Ararat municipality had received their first vaccination, while about 38 percent of people 18 and older received their booster vaccination.

Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was pleased the council was partnering with East Grampians Health Service to offer more residents the chance to get vaccinated.

“EGHS has done an incredibly difficult job in keeping our community safe through the pandemic and the council is supporting them further by providing the venue for the rapid vaccination rollout,” he said.

“The pop-up clinic at Ararat Town Hall provides a convenient location for residents to get vaccinated, making the vaccine more accessible.”

A regular EGHS Community COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic operates from Pyrenees House in Girdlestone Street from Monday to Friday, with pre-booked appointments available. Walk-in appointments are also available.

The Pyrenees House clinic will close during the three-day vaccination clinic at Ararat Town Hall.

Friends, feathers sheds and cages The Weekly Advertiser, in partnership with Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society, is presenting a series of weekly stories that explore some of the history of Natimuk Show. The 130th Natimuk Show will be part of combined 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations on March 26. This week Wilma Kotz details a generational involvement of the Rogers family in the show’s poultry section.

The name Rogers has been synonymous with poultry at Natimuk Show for decades.

Cyril ‘Bid’ Rogers had been a committee member, exhibitor and head steward for the poultry section for most of his life.

He showed large birds including white leghorns, Sussex, Indian game and Plymouth rocks and with his brother-inlaw Ian McCully, successfully showed bantams throughout Victoria and interstate, enjoying success at Royal shows.

Cyril also judged poultry and sheep sections at shows across Victoria.

Cyril introduced his nephews Keith and Doug Rogers to poultry.

They followed in his footsteps, not only becoming regular poultry exhibitors at Natimuk but also stewarding on show day.

They both went on to be judges with Doug, judging throughout Australia including at the Adelaide Royal Show.

When Cyril’s son Robert was about 10, he began helping to organise the pens ready for show day and shortly after he also became a steward.

In the mid-1970s with Cyril’s health declining, Robert drove him to Natimuk for a show meeting.

It was at that meeting that Robert was nominated to join the committee.

Robert has subsequently been on the

Cyril Rogers with his prize bantam

committee since then, holding the position of president since 2001.

Robert took on the role as head poultry steward following Cyril’s sudden death after collapsing at the 1985 show.

Cyril loved his poultry and gave much advice and encouragement to young enthusiasts.

His granddaughter, Connie Toet was one of those youngsters. She loved to follow her grandad around as he tended to his birds.

Connie, with the help of her mother Kerry, continued to show bantams from the original Rogers and McCully bloodline with much success for several years.

One of the biggest challenges organising the poultry was the lack of cages.

For many years Natimuk organisers

borrowed cages from Edenhope Pastoral and Agricultural Society. In the early 1990s the poultry was moved from its outside venue, along the west fence of the showground, to an existing shed.

That shed was demolished in 2012 to make way for the new tennis courts, so a new shed was built specifically for the poultry and new cages purchased.

The shed was constructed to specifications drawn up by Doug Rogers.

The show moving from August to March has been a major change; seeing a drop in entries due to poultry moulting their feathers at that time of the year.

Cyril and Robert both became life members of Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society in 1980 and 2013 respectively.

Investment Hyundai commits to Aussie hydrogen future

H

yundai Motor Company Australia is investing in a new Sydney-based hydrogen-vehicle refuelling station as part of its ongoing commitment to expand the Australian hydrogen-mobility sector.

model that might eventually give rise to a country-wide network of refuelling stations, such as those that have been established in Germany, South Korea, China, Japan and in parts of the United States.

Located at HMCA’s corporate headquarters in Macquarie Park, the stateof-the-art facility would produce up to 20kg of its own green hydrogen, which is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity, each day via an

The company says that in addition to supporting its own range of hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, FCEVs, the $1.7-million facility will co-operate with Australian gas technology company ENGV as a proof-of-concept

integrated electrolyser. The installation is expected to be operational later this year and will replace the current infrastructure, which has operated on the site since 2014.

HMCA chief executive officer Ted Lee said the new hydrogen refuelling facility would not only enable faster refuelling of its expanding range of FCEVs but enable the company to showcase the benefits of hydrogen mobility technologies to external stakeholders.

“This investment forms part of Hyundai’s long-term commitment to a zero-emission future for Australia,” he said.

“Hydrogen fuel-cell mobility is anticipated to play an integral role in the country’s transition to cleaner drivetrains and we intend to help lay the steppingstones toward making this vision a reality.”

HMCA selected US-based PDC Machines and IVYS Energy Solutions to supply the hydrogen refuelling sta-

tion, known as SimpleFuelFast, while ENGV was responsible for Australian integration, installation and ongoing operational services.

The engagement follows the announcement of the CSIRO’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub in mid-2021, which will see ENGV, PDC Machines and IVYS Energy Solutions working in unison to construct a hydrogen-vehicle refuelling system at the national science agency’s Clayton facility.

laimed to be the fastest, most powerful, best handling and most engaging car of its kind, the new range-topping Aston Martin DBX707 was conceived to ‘propel Aston Martin to the pinnacle of SUV performance’ – and it is scheduled to arrive Down Under mid-year.

Aston Martin has confirmed the newcomer would be priced at $428,400, excluding on-road costs.

Aston Martin chief executive Tobias Moers made the bold assertions about the DBX707.

The newcomer, whose nomenclature is derived from its 707PS output, might sound like a limited-edition model, but no, it is the range’s flagship.

The DBX707 is clearly aimed at eclipsing the Lamborghini Urus and upcoming Ferrari Purosangue super SUVs. For starters, the newcomer’s Mercedes-AMGsourced 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 has been beefed up with ball-bearing turbochargers and a bespoke engine calibration to produce peak outputs of 520kW and 900Nm – increases of 46kW and 200Nm over the V8-engined DBX. The thumping motor is paired to a nine-speed wet multi-clutch automatic transmission, which is said to be capable of managing much increased torque loadings and deliver noticeably faster gear changes compared with the standard DBX’s torque-converter box.

Aston Martin claims the DBX707 can bolt from zero to 100kmh in 3.3 seconds, compared with its sibling’s 4.5 seconds.

DBX707 also features an updated electronic limited slip rear differential with a shorter final drive ratio of 3.27 compared with 3.07 for the DBX V8. This is said to aid the DBX707’s sprinting ability through the lower gears and enhance in-gear response.

Torque distribution front-to-rear remains fully automatic, with the ability to send up to 100 percent of the torque to the rear axle on demand.

To aid the air-sprung Aston Martin’s outright handling ability, the Gaydon-based brand has implemented a dedicated chassis tune.

DBX707 features new damper valving and recalibration of dynamic spring volume switching.

In addition, the electronic power steering system has also been adjusted to improve steering feel, with ‘greater effort build-up off centre’.

Combined with tighter management of heave – vertical movement over bumps and crests or in compressions, pitch – when the car dives under braking or squats under acceleration, and body roll, DBX707 is said to offer a driver ‘easier abilWednesday, February 9, 2022

ity to adjust the yaw of the car with natural pedal or steering inputs’.

The eARC, Electronic Active Roll Control, system, in turn, has revised parameters that ‘heighten the sense of agility and improve the dynamic balance of the car’.

For optimal stopping power, the newcomer is fitted as standard with carbon ceramic brakes, 420mm discs at the front and 390mm discs at the rear, which are gripped by six-piston calipers and result in a 40.5kg reduction in unsprung weight.

Aided by improved cooling, the braking system’s hydraulic sizing and booster tune are said to improve pedal feel and braking response.

Cosmetic appeal

From a cosmetic point of view, the front-end execution of the DBX707 can be distinguished by its enlarged satin-chrome grille with double vanes and six horizontal bars, revised daytime running light signature, as well as new air intakes, brake-cooling ducts and front-splitter profile.

Other derivative-specific adornments include new louvred bonnet blades, dark-satin chrome window surrounds and gloss-black side sills, while at the rear, the DBX707 features a new lip spoiler, a reshaped rear bumper that features integrated quarter-panel vents, a significantly enlarged twin rear diffuser as well as large-bore quad exhaust tips finished in satin black.

Inside, Aston Martin’s newcomer is fitted as standard with dark chrome finished switchgear and piano black veneer with sports front seats that offer 16-way electric adjustment.

A heating function is available to front and rear occupants.

A mix of leather and Alcantara trim is standard, but Semi-Aniline leather with embroidered Aston Martin wings on the headrests, contrast stripes down the centres of the seats and perforation pattern in the seat backs and cushions is optional.

The revised lower console contains new drive mode selection switches in the DBX707. ‘Race Start’ is available in GT Sport as well as Sport+ modes. These include dedicated buttons for suspension mode, ESP, manual gear selection mode and an active exhaust switch, which opens the valves of a quad-tailpipe sports exhaust system without needing to be in Sport drive mode.

Finally, for customers who want to personalise their DBX707, Q by Aston Martin – the brand’s bespoke service – offers a wide range of extracost options, from unique graphics through to tinted carbons and bespoke materials on both the SUV’s interior and exterior.

January sales slip five percent on 2021 N

ew vehicle registrations in January were down by 4.8 percent, or 3803 vehicles, compared with the same month last year as the ongoing microprocessor shortage and COVID-19 pandemic-related supply constraints continue to impact new-vehicle sales across Australia.

It marked a decrease of 158.5 vehicle sales per day.

Figures released last week by the

FCAI show the passenger-vehicle market was down by 2835 vehicles, or 15.3 percent, in relation to the corresponding month last year.

The SUV market fell by 1947 units, 4.7 percent, while the light commercial vehicle market improved by 774 vehicles, or 4.4 percent. Heavy vehicle sales also increased by 223 units, 10.9 percent, versus January 2021.

A total of 75,863 vehicles were sold in January 2022 and Tasmania was the only state to register an increase

in sales, its 1468 units represented an improvement of 15.4 percent.

Sales in Western Australia were down 7.8 percent, Queensland fell 1.3 percent and Victoria slipped by 1.6 percent.

The trend continued in South Australia where sales decreased by 2.2 percent, while sales in the Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory fell by 13 percent and 9.7 percent respectively.

FCAI chief executive Tony Weber

from some Australian ports. We will continue to work with all parties involved to resolve the issue.”

Toyota was again the market leader in January with 15,333 vehicles sold.

Mazda took second place with 6533 unit sales, ahead of Mitsubishi, 6533, Kia, 5520 and Hyundai, 5128.

The Toyota HiLux continued to be Australia’s highest selling model with 3591 examples sold in January.

– Matt Brogan

said the microprocessor shortage and the pandemic’s impact on supply chains has continued into 2022.

“This is an issue impacting markets all over the globe. Despite this, consumer interest, inquiry and the demand for new cars in Australia remains strong,” he said.

“Manufacturers are continuing to work hard to address supply chain and production issues.

“We are also experiencing bottlenecks in having vehicles processed

Christian Devotions

Issues of the Heart Ps. 5:10; Prov. 4:23

Last year I had a scare with my heart. I was experiencing arterial flutter. This is a fancy way of saying the top part of my heart was beating out of rhythm with the rest. I needed to be hospitalised and it was “shocked” back into rhythm, now working well. To me this brought home the fact how important our heart is, but not only in a physical way but also in a spiritual way. In Proverbs we are told to guard our hearts because it is a wellspring for our life, physically and spiritually.

Our heart determines our actions, what we do physically but it also reflects what is inside our hearts, how we act towards others and our self. We need to fill our hearts with what is good, not only by what we eat but also by what we allow our self to hear, to see and do. It reminds me of an old T.V. advertisement that said you are what you eat; you are also what you take in with your senses.

The reality is that at times in our life we may need a renewed heart. How did they get my heart back into rhythm, it was through a shock, a restart so it could be renewed and brought back to where it should be. Let us take an inventory of our heart and see if this is the case for us, if our heart is where it should be. If not lets us ask God to help and bring us back to where we should be, with Him at the centre.

Striding out at Willaura Cup meet M

BY JOSH MILLER

att Cumani’s promising stayer Sheezabigdeal, $3.60, made a mess of her rivals in Sunday’s Willaura Cup at Ararat.

The Dundeel mare led every step of the 2000-metre journey and left the competition in her wake to record a seemingly effortless 4.8-length win.

The demolition job came as no surprise to her Ballarat trainer who was complimentary of jockey Linda Meech’s steer.

“She was given a very good ride.

She was able to steal the perfect sectionals and in the end the margin was probably a little exaggerated,” Cumani said.

In a great result for the stable, Obedience, $4.40, completed the quinella for his Ballarat camp, but the trainer was buoyed by his winning mare’s outing on Sunday.

“She’s always threatened to do that – she won a race over a shorter distance in similar style a while ago. When things go her way, she can be devastating,” he said.

The win ensures a ballot-exempt entry into the Grand Handicap Classic at Flemington over 2500 metres on March 19, but Cumani is keeping his options open for the future.

“There’s a bit of a discussion between the owners and myself. I’m convinced she’ll get to 2400 metres plus but she’s been beaten a couple

of times out to that distance and her pedigree suggests she might not get that sort of trip,” he said.

As for how far he’d like to progress his runner this prep: “We might have a look at some of the races in South Australia, see we can get a bit of black type. She’s a bit one dimensional but if things go right for her, she can look very strong.”

Cumani is considering a quick backup for Sheezabigdeal in the Colac Cup on Friday.

Just hours before her Willaura Cup success, expert tempo rider Linda Meech produced her first gem of the day, combining with trainer Andrew Bobbin to take out race three on the card.

The Stawell trainer again proved he has the Midas touch with newcomers to his stable, this time preparing Lady Cumberland, $4.60, to break her maiden status at Ararat on Sunday.

It was the four-year-old’s seventh start – but first for Bobbin – that saw her break a run five straight fourth placings and bolt in for a four-length win over the 1100-metre trip.

The chestnut daughter of Unencumbered looked sharp at a recent Stawell jumpout and took benefit from the outing, blowing her rivals away at her first-up assignment since a spell in July.

“She was great, wasn’t she?” Bobbin said of his stable’s debutant.

“She had minor surgery on her throat

before I got her and that looks like it did the trick. She’s been working pretty sharp at home.”

The mare arrived at her new home at the foot of the Grampians in late November and Bobbin was keen to use her natural speed to his advantage.

“She’s a free-rolling mare so I booked Linda Meech as soon as I could,” Bobbin said.

“Linda was the key – she steers them so well from the front.”

Lady Cumberland will likely head to Bendigo on February 19 in an 1100-metre contest and will prove hard to beat in benchmark 58 company if Sunday’s run is anything to go by.

Bondi Lockdown ‘going to top’

FLYING HOME: Aaron Dunn’s Bondi Lockdown racing to victory at Melton.

Picture: STUART McCORMICK

Bondi Lockdown is touted as a Grand Circuit horse of the future and justified the hype with another brilliant display on Saturday night at Melton to win a $100,000 four-year-old Bonanza.

Aaron Dunn’s superstar entire got things his own way and did not let favourite punters down with an all-the-way success in the Group One sprint.

Bondi Lockdown quickly

found the front from barrier six and that’s where he stayed, carving out quarters of 27.8 seconds, 30.1, 27.6 and 27 for a mile rate of 1:51.6 minutes.

“I’ve never had a Grand Circuit horse,” Dunn said.

“We had Dee Dees Dream, who was a good little horse but was just that second tier.

“Hopefully Bondi Lockdown is going to the top.”

Bondi Lockdown is now a

three-time Group One winner after claiming both the Victorian Harness Racing Club three-yearold classic and Vicbred Super Series three-year-old colts and geldings final, and now has earnings up close to $300,000.

The victory earns the horse a spot in the $250,000 Chariots Of Fire to be run at Tabcorp Park Menangle on February 19.

Cougars look for fresh start

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

K

aniva-Leeor United enters 2022 with new leadership and a commitment to establishing solid ‘club-culture’ fundamentals.

The club has appointed new football and netball presidents to take them forward in Horsham District league, after two tough COVID-19-affected years.

Newly appointed football president Ben Dunstall said ‘fresh blood’ was important for the club.

“People were worn out. We have been toughing it out for a while,” he said.

“It is hard being a president of a football club and making the wheels turn, week-after-week.

“Financially, it has been a slog for us. I say that knowing it has probably been the same for other clubs.

“Our numbers have been low, so our focus has become making sure our younger players get to play a game every week.

“We have a bunch of young guys and girls bashing it out and we are keen to have people come in and play beside this great bunch of locals.”

Netball president Hailee Witmitz said the club would return with Emma Hawker as A Grade coach.

“We will start this year with a similar team to what we had last year,” she said.

“At this stage we will have all four senior teams playing.

“Our club culture has been the best it has ever been and there certainly is a positive vibe around the netball group.

“We do have about half-a-dozen new players joining the club and a couple of locals coming out of retirement as well.”

Senior football coach Beau Harris was handed the role mid-way through the 2021 season and will return for his first full year in charge of the team.

Harris said at the end of last year, the senior team met for an end-of-season review and player-led internal ‘honest feedback’.

“The players and I sat down and conducted a large review. We reviewed everything in the football department – where we were at, where we were going and how we wanted to get there,” he said.

“So now the players have control over their footprint at the club and the team’s direction.

“I am really pleased with how we are developing and growing.”

Harris said the team admired the club-culture of good sides such as Noradjuha-Quantong and Harrow-Balmoral and wanted to establish a similar energy.

“Ultimately we are trying to lay the foundation of what good clubs look like,” he said.

“It is not something you can flick on immediately.

“We want to develop our young players and invest in long term culture of the football club.”

He said the team wanted to be ‘hard-to-beat’ in 2022 but also enjoy its time playing together.

“Learning and enjoyment – these elements lead to increased performance,” he said.

“If we do that, then we will earn the respect of the competition and be a tough side to play against.”

Eagles aspire for finals finish

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

W

arrack Eagles Football Netball Club leaders are confident plans for 2022 are falling into place.

The Wimmera league club experienced mixed outcomes last year, with its senior footballers ending the season on the bottom of the ladder, while the senior netball side finished inside the top-four.

Club president Zane Jess said overall, the club was ‘ramping up’ its 2022 preparations.

“We have a few players returning home to the region and signing up with us for the season and we expect all of them to slot straight into the senior side,” he said.

“Last year we had a very young football side.

“Our aim is to keep building those young bodies’ capacity to play more senior football.

“We will have a lot more depth this year and that will help us to continue nurturing our younger players as well.”

Mr Jess said the vibe within the netball and football teams was extremely positive and the club was eager to play through an entire season without COVID-19 interruptions.

The senior football team has more to prove than any other Wimmera

league side, claiming the league ‘Wooden Spoon’ in 2021.

Football coach Daniel Bell said the club had recruited ‘hard’ from outside the Wimmera in the off season.

“We have picked-up almost a dozen players, which will force a good competitive culture and make our players earn senior selection,” he said.

“All but one has come from outside the area. The new guys have come from places such as Ballarat, Geelong and Adelaide.”

Bell said the side’s young players were ‘younger than most other clubs’, so pre-season training was going to be fitness focussed, especially given the interrupted 2021 season.

“We will do some work on our setups and structures and all that will also help our young players develop further,” he said.

Bell said playing finals was always the aim.

“I hope we are playing finals, that’s my aim, that’s our aim,” he said.

“2021 was a disrupted year and we had a lack of experience – all that has changed in 2022.

“Fingers crossed we can go ahead.”

Senior A Grade netball coach Ashlynn McKenzie said the team wants to be known for a ‘never say die’ attitude.

“We pride ourselves on dealing

“We have picked-up almost a dozen players, which will force a good competitive culture and make our players earn senior selection” – Daniel Bell, right

with what is thrown at us until the final whistle,” she said.

“That is what we want to instil in our girls.

“Netball is a possession based sport and as long as we have the ball then we will never give up the game.”

The netballers started their preseason training last week and Mckenzie said there was a ‘healthy’ turnout.

“Fitness and endurance will be the focus of our pre-season training for the most part,” she said.

“We aim to get our side as close to match fit as we can.

“There is nothing that can reflect the fitness needed on a Saturday, but we will do what we can and keep it interesting.

“Soon we will start figuring out where the girls will all fit in the side.

“We like to have fluency in the squad and give everyone a chance to prove themselves and step into the A Grade side.”

Tigers in four

BY ONE SHORT

I

n a ‘catch up’ match in Grampians Cricket Association at the weekend, Pomonal shored up its position in the top four by narrowly defeating Halls Gap.

Batting first at Halls Gap, the Gappers scored a respectable 9-182 with the main contributors Charlie McIntosh, 46, Josef Martin, 47, and Riley Thomas, 33 not out.

The Tigers’ turn at the crease saw them overtake the Gappers’ score with three overs to spare and seven wickets down.

Best of the Gappers bowlers was again young Toby Ripper with 3-53.

Association rounds return to normal on Saturday with three matches.

It might look a bit predictable with the top three playing the bottom three, but cricket has always been a fickle game.

Chalambar is at home to Buangor-Tatyoon in a game the home side would dearly love to win.

Chalambar’s runs have come from Reece Kettle and Sam Pilgrim this season.

If these players can receive some support from other batsmen, and come up with a score Luke Walker, Matt McKinnis and others can bowl to, they might make life difficult for the Hawks.

The Hawks have showed they are capable of trouncing opponents, mainly due to Jacob Bates, Michel Harricks and James Phillips, having a break-out year with both bat and ball, all in good form.

Youth Club hosts Pomonal at Stawell’s

Central Park and can all but guarantee a finals birth with a victory.

While the Clubbers got out of jail last match with a 50-run last-wicket partnership, they cannot rely on something similar to happen this week.

Captain Nic Baird has led the way with both bat and ball for the Clubbers this season, so the Tigers will target his wicket.

The Tigers’ batting needs to gain consistency to assist the bowlers, who are carrying the team at the moment.

In the final match, Swifts-Great Western travels to Halls Gap. The side is not in its best form, although the 182-run innings in its last match showed promise of better things.

Charlie McIntosh, Josef Martin and Luke Walker could all provide headaches’ for the Combine.

But the Combine provides its own worries for the Gappers in Sam Cocks, the Eckel brothers and Matt Heffer, all of whom have made runs against the Gappers in the past.

This week: Chalambar v Buangor-Tatyoon at Ararat’s Alexandra Oval, Youth Club v Pomonal, Central Park, Stawell, Halls Gap v Swifts-Great Western.

Last week: Pomonal 7-184 (T. Ripper 3-53) d Halls Gap 9-182 (J. Martin 47, C. McIntosh 46, R. Thomas 33no).

Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 51 points, 1.95 percent; Swifts-Great Western 42, 2.07; Youth Club 30, 1.18; Pomonal 24, 0.62; Chalambar 12, 0.57; Halls Gap 12, 0.53.

VETERAN SUCCESS: Horsham Cricket Association’s over-40s representative side after beating South West in Hamilton.

Representative showcase games Horsham and Grampians cricket association representative teams will play in an open representative match at Horsham City Oval on Sunday.

It is one of a variety of senior and junior representative matches in Horsham at the weekend.

Junior matches between Western

Waves and Mallee Murray Suns will be at Coughlin Park and Cornell Park, also on Sunday from 11am. An under-14 girls match will be at Cornell Park and an under-15 boys game will be at Coughlin Park.

Horsham won the final of an over-40s carnival at the weekend,

beating South West at Hamilton.

Horsham made 7-167 in the 40-over-a-side competition with Justtin Combe top-scoring with 73 and Travis Hair 32.

Horsham then bowled out South West for 141 with David Puls and Combe capturing three wickets each.

Warriors on the hunt W

est Wimmera will attempt to push through a fresh opening in Horsham Cricket Association’s A Grade finals equation when it meets Jung Tigers in Horsham on Saturday.

The Warriors, who have been dog-paddling on the bottom of the ladder, have snatched a place in the top four and found winning form.

West Wimmera will also go into the clash against the Tigers knowing their opponents, which have lost their last three games, are off the boil, especially with the bat.

The Warriors set up a big match against the Horsham outfit by prevailing against Rupanyup-Minyip in the last of the season’s T20-round games, at Minyip.

Rupanyup-Minyip made 6-101 from its 20 overs, opener Jamie Byrne making 22, others getting starts and veteran Travis Hair blazing an unbeaten 32 in the middleorder to keep his team in the game.

But West Wimmera, despite an early hiccup, passed the score with three wickets down, Liam Preston the stand-out with an unbeaten 59.

The Warriors meet a Tigers side that could manage only 85 while attempting to chase 128 for victory against Homers at Horsham Sunnyside.

Homers opening pair Paddy Mills, 47, and Luke Deutscher, 20, provided the Pigeons with a good start and Chaminda Gamage clipped 27 to establish the target.

The Tigers, apart from first drop Grant Connelly, 35, struggled to gain batting traction as a mix of Homers seam and spin, featuring Baxter Perry, 3-7, and Adam Atwood, 3-5, and co did the damage.

Homers now sits this weekend out with a bye but will be keen observers in what happens at the city oval and also how Rupanyup-Minyip tries to bounce back against ladder-leader Noradjuha-Toolondo.

Rupanyup-Minyip meets the Bullants in its third game in a row at Minyip.

The return to one-day format will come as a welcome relief to some players and a disappointing farewell to the 20-over-aside conditions for others.

The extra overs provide an opening for more psychology in the contests with the

South West Conference

potential patience, guile and strategy to games and draw different players into the games.

This week: One-day games, RupanyupMinyip v Noradjuha-Toolondo at Minyip, Jung Tigers v West Wimmera at Horsham City Oval, Homers, bye.

Last week: West Wimmera 3-105 (L. Preston 59no) d Rupanyup-Minyip 6-101 (T. Hair 32no), Homers 6-127 (P. Mills 47, C. Gamage 27; A. Adams 3-22) d Jung Tigers 85 (G. Connelly 35; A. Atwood 3-5, B. Perry 3-7).

Ladder: Noradjuha-Toolondo Bullants 66 points, 1.57 percent; Homers 42, 1.14; Jung Tigers 36, 0.89; West Wimmera 27, 0.94; Rupanyup-Minyip 27, 0.64.

NEW GROUND: Lilly Reading has created history with Marnoo Cricket Club, becoming the first female to play with the club.

Lawn one win clear on top A

Junior player of the week

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant ladder has started to take shape after nine rounds as clubs march towards the back end of the season.

Drung South Orange nearly caused the upset of the season against St Michaels on Friday.

With the two sides drawn on six-sets each, St Michaels narrowly took an 11game win with a final score 6-67 to 6-78.

Horsham Lawn had a more comfortable win against Drung South Purple on Saturday, enjoying success with a 8-80 to 4-6 result.

At the same time, Kalkee continued its charge towards a top-two season finish with a dominant win against Central Park.

The Kees won 11-95 to 1-43 and eyes will now be on their round-10 match-up against St Michaels.

With Horsham Lawn one win clear on top of the ladder, the chasing Kees and Saints are second and third respectively on equal points, guaranteeing a tight finish to the preliminary season.

The winner will have the best chance of taking a top-two position into the finals, which will secure a home-court advantage.

In other round-10 matches this weekend, Central Park will play Drung South Purple and Horsham Lawn takes on Drung South Orange.

DOMINANT: Kalkee continued its charge towards a top-two season finish with a dominant win against Central Park.

Kalkee’s Emily Polack won two of her three sets played.

Hornets in grand final showdown H

BAREFOOT WATERSKI TOURNAMENT r la u c a t c e p S & N ig h t J u m p 2022

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

orsham Hornets men’s basketballers are grand final bound after a semi-final win against Colac Kookas in Country Basketball League at the weekend.

The men’s side took a 10-point win, 87-77.

It was an underdog display from the Hornets, being set the task to beat the minor premiers, away from home, to grab a spot in the final.

The side will enjoy the thrills of a home court grand final advantage this weekend, after it was announced Horsham would host the south-west conference grand finals.

The Lady Hornets could not emulate the men’s success, however, ending their season earlier than hoped after a semi-final loss.

The women’s team suffered a nine-point loss to Warrnambool Mermaids in Warrnambool on Saturday, going down 63-72.

The men’s team will meet Portland Coasters at Horsham Basketball Stadium this Saturday night for the decider.

It is shaping up to be a big weekend for Horsham basketball with the men’s south-west conference grand final and Horsham junior tournament on the same weekend.

Men’s team coach Scott Benbow said to knockoff the top side was ‘unreal’.

“I am feeling pretty good right now, as it goes,” he said.

“I knew we would be up against it having to travel to Colac to play the top side.

“We had Sam Breuer and Matty Lloyd who didn’t play in the end, which made it a bit tougher. Mitch Martin played a hell of a game though.

“Colac scored a three-pointer in the last second of the match, but we really got it done comfortably in the end.”

Benbow said with the grand final and junior

CONCLUDING SATURDAY FIREWORKS

Mitch Martin tournament all happening in Horsham at the weekend, people would be ‘hanging off the rafters’.

“To play in front of a very parochial home crowd really makes our players grow a little bit taller. This is a rare opportunity to make the most of it,” he said.

“We are a young, fit side and at our best when we play at pace. We will have a full squad for the first time this season, touch wood, no one goes into COVID-19 isolation before then.”

Benbow reflected on the team’s original goal to simply make the finals.

“Once we got close to reaching that, I had the belief we could make the grand final,” he said.

“I don’t want to oversell it, but this is something special. We are a real chance on Saturday.”

Tournament set to take over town Horsham will be ‘abuzz’ at the weekend, as representative Hornets basketball teams take on opponents from across Western Victoria in a junior tournament.

Horsham amateur basketball association will enter teams from U12s to 18s in the Horsham Classic Junior Tournament, ensuring a hometown-hive welcome carries plenty of sting.

All puns aside, the event will attract more than 90 teams in Horsham’s first inter-association junior tournament since 2019.

Tournament director Amanda Munyard said the 30th edition of the Horsham junior tournament would be a weekend of fun for the entire town.

“It is the first time in three years we have been able to host our junior tournament for girls and boys aged 12 to 18 and we are all so excited. We also thought we would make the most it and have a bit of fun with the event,” she said.

Mrs Munyard said junior teams from Hamilton, Colac, Mildura, Swan Hill, Warracknabeal, Terang, Portland and Warrnambool would take over the town from Friday night.

“There was so much interest from other associations to play in Horsham,” she said.

“We have upward of 90 teams registered to compete. Because it is a junior tournament, players are accompanied by their parents, friends and grandparents. It will be great for Horsham’s shops and cafes.

“I also assume motels are almost booked out for the weekend, ready to go for the opening games on Friday night.”

Mrs Munyard said Horsham was well equipped to host a large junior tournament.

“Horsham can handle this many visitors, I am sure. It is going to be crazy though, especially with the announcement that Horsham will also Wednesday, February 9, 2022

&

host a Country Basketball League grand final on the same weekend,” she said.

“We have live stream capacity that we have been fine tuning this year, allowing us to steam the CBL grand final and junior grand finals too.

“We are also using basketball courts in Warracknabeal, Dimboola and Murtoa to accommodate the huge number of games to be played.”

Mrs Munyard said she was most excited about seeing the tournament’s youngest basketballers play throughout the weekend.

“I can’t wait for the Under 12 girls and boys matches. Their energy, enthusiasm and potential really encapsulate the entire feeling of the tournament,” she said.

“I hope everyone walks away after the weekend thinking they have had a wonderful experience, on and off the court. I hope this feeling brings people back year-after-year.”

Mrs Munyard said countless volunteers made the tournament possible.

“We cannot do this without our volunteer base who are so terrific at supporting Horsham basketball. Their efforts are what make Horsham special,” she said.

Horsham Hornets officials have asked Wimmera residents to support the Hornets on the weekend by decorating their house, letterbox or car with a ‘Go Hornets’ sign in red, white and blue.

The ‘Swarm the Town’ competition prompts people to take a photo of their decorations for social media, tagging @Horshambasketball and @INTERSPORThorsham.

Entries will be judged and winners announced on Saturday evening and broadcast over the tournament’s livestream.
