Events hook for region BY MICHAEL SCALZO

n annual fishing competition will headline a bumper Labour Day long-weekend in Horsham and western Victoria as COVID-19 restrictions ease and outdoor events again take centre stage.

Thousands of eager anglers and families will gather on the banks of the Wimmera River on Sunday for Horsham Fishing Competition. Competitors, in the event’s 45th year of competition, will whip out a rod along the riverbank to land redfin, yellowbelly, catfish and silver perch species. A new car remains the traditional treasured top-prize. Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline said it was amazing to see so many events return to the region as COVID-19 restrictions receded. “These great activities for residents and visitors attract lots of people into our city and region,” she said. “It has been so difficult for everyone to be

social recently. So now as these social events and interactions return to ‘normal’, it is just terrific for everyone. “The fishing competition is absolutely great; the amazing prizes are such a great incentive to get families and anglers into Horsham for the weekend. “I certainly commend the organising committee’s work in this space.” The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition is one of several high-profile events attracting Victorian and interstate visitors to western Victoria for the Labour Day break. Stawell Harness Racing Club ‘Back to the 80s’ concert at Laidlaw Park, Stawell, is booked out to its maximum 1000 patrons on Saturday. It is a free event featuring iconic ’80s music artists, including Brian Mannix, Uncanny Xmen, Sean Kelly, Models, Eurogliders, Scott Carne, Kids in the Kitchen, Ally Fowler, Chantoozies and compere Gavin Wood from television show Countdown. Pitch Music and Arts festival will also welcome more than 15,000

dance-music lovers to a property on Grampians plains near Moyston. The four-day event, well known for its popular Australian and international electronic music artists, has become an annual pilgrimage for those in the techno, house, disco and psytrance music scenes.

Diversity

For those after some two and fourstroke excitement, Horsham Motorcycle Club will also be hosting the 2022 Motocross Amateurs across the weekend. It features a two-day motocross racing event, for junior and senior, Victorian and interstate amateur riders, at Horsham motocross track at Dooen Recreational Reserve. Cr Gulline said she hoped the influx of people would showcase the region and entice visitors to consider permanent career and lifestyle opportunities available. “Some of our research shows people need to visit a region multiple times before they might consider a decision

to relocate,” she said. “So, with so many events attracting visitors, they really get a glimpse of what the area has to offer. Hopefully they love it so much, the Wimmera becomes their tree change.” Fishing competition committee treasurer Prue Dellar said the event received a ‘big uptick’ in registrations during the past week. She said positive community and angler feedback continued to emphasise benefits of the event’s focus on ‘serious’ anglers as well as families. “The feedback from our surveys was people really enjoyed the opportunity the event gave them to get together with family and friends,” she said. “The competition has a strong and important social element to it. It is something I know people have in their calendar marked as annual catch-up occasion. “They also tell us the event is a lot of fun. We really do try and balance the needs of the social anglers with the competitive anglers, because it takes

both to make this event what it is.” Winning anglers will land the longest fish in each of the three fish categories; yellowbelly, catfish, as well as silver perch and redfin, to be judged a single category. Anglers will then submit a verifying photograph of the catch against a measuring device to competition headquarters. The competition follows a catch-and-release protocol. The event went ahead in 2021 with a 1000-person capped attendance, but organisers are confident this year’s event will again attract thousands of Victorian and interstate anglers, as it did before COVID-19 interruptions. Competition committee president Bruce McInnes said he was glad the committee had pushed through the COVID-19 disruptions and committed to hosting the event in 2022. “Early March has seemed to be the sweet spot for events during most of the pandemic, so it is great we didn’t consider cancelling,” he said.

Regional cities in mental-health plan H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham and Ararat are among latest Victorian centres the State Government has earmarked for mental-health and wellbeingservice development.

The government has included the rural cities among 21 locations for ‘Local Adult and Older Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing Services’. The services are part of a new care model designed to provide Victorians with ‘mental-health support they need, as soon as they need it, close to home’.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the services would act as a ‘front door’ to a reformed mental-health system, providing early-intervention support for adults experiencing mental illness or psychological distress without needing a referral from a GP and before needing to attend a clinical hospital emergency department. Mental-health advocates who last month identified disused Karkana centre on Horsham’s outskirts as a potential crisis and respite centre have been seeking clarification about what the government proposed for Horsham. Group spokesman Gavin Morrow

said it was pleasing the government had identified Horsham as an area of need. “But we want to know in greater detail about what the service is and what it will provide,” Mr Morrow said. The 21 additional service centres, which include regional cities of Shepparton, Mildura, Bendigo, Echuca, Orbost, Bairnsdale, Ballarat, Craigieburn, Warrnambool, Hamilton and Portland, are scheduled to open from mid-2023. This builds on six service centres – Benalla, Latrobe Valley, Frankston, Brimbank, Whittlesea and Greater

Geelong – preparing to start providing care under the scheme in 2022. Mr Andrews said the government had made ‘huge’ inroads into reform of the state’s mental-health and wellbeing services. He said work was underway on more than 85 percent of 74 report recommendations from a Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. Mr Andrews and Mental Health Minister James Merlino turned the first sod on Victoria’s first Child and Family Centre – a key Royal Commission recommendation – last week. “The Royal Commission into Victo-

ria’s Mental Health System was a watershed moment in our state’s history – and we’re not wasting a single moment delivering its commendations,” Mr Andrews said. “We said we’d build a mental-health system from the ground up to deliver the care every Victorian deserves – and that’s exactly what we’re doing.” Mr Merlino: “These announcements will deliver new services that are sorely needed, with ‘front doors’ to the mental-health system to make sure nobody faces barriers to getting support, no matter where they live.”

45th fishing competition From page 1 Mr McInnes said drought had been the only thing that had stopped the contest, so far, from going ahead throughout its history. He said the competition played a vital role in providing an update on the health on the river and its fish. “We pass on the data we collect from the competition to Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and government agencies, giving a snapshot of the how the river is at that point in time,” he said. “We also get a feel for fish age cohorts, especially catfish. We can get a good feel of how they are growing. “The competition also allows a good removal of carp from the river system. Carp compete with native fish for food. The catchment authority has done a great job in pushing up the price of carp to incentivise their removal.” GOTCHA: Superintendent Ian Milner collars Wayne Street and Kay Eyles at Wimmera River Cops and Robbers parkrun.

Horsham parkrun success Cops and Robbers parkrun organisers are celebrating Saturday’s event and planning for another one next year. Parkrun organiser Andrew Sostheim said he was keen to collaborate with Horsham Police to make it an annual event. “It was a lovely morning and there was a great turn out,” he said. Horsham Police inspector Di Thomson agreed the event was ‘fantastic’. Ms Thomson said the day had started with some rain, however, it was not a deterrent for the runners or police. “There was great community engagement and participation,” she said. “There were a lot of sporting clubs that turned up and everyone enjoyed themselves.”

Mr Sostheim said Ms Thomson had done a fantastic job at promoting the run. Parkrun organisers also hoped the Cops and Robbers parkrun would create better dialogue between police and residents. Community members were encouraged to dress up in their best robber outfits and interact with police officers from a wide variety of departments. Members from Victoria Police’s Critical Incident Response Team and Water Police attended and chatted with participants. Residents interacted with the Victoria Police Highway Patrol’s BMW and command semi-trailer. • More pictures, page 50. – Nick Ridley

Mr McInnes said the catchment authority had maintained a healthy river, with good water flow and quality, with no stagnant blue-green algae. “We have some fat fish in the river and a fat fish is a healthy fish. Monitoring last week showed there was lots of fish food about, lots of shrimp and yabbies and little fish, that all add up to a healthy river and healthy fish,” he said. “But while the competition is all about the fish, it is also about a gathering of community. I am looking forward to a great weekend.” The Horsham Fishing Competition casts off at 6.30am on Sunday, allowing anglers until 3pm to land a prize-winning catch. Highlights of the extensive $60,000 prize list include a new Kia Stonic and a CFMoto all-terrain vehicle.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT UPDATE

We welcome interested stakeholders to an exciting year ahead for the Avonbank Project!

Regular communication with stakeholders is important to WIM and our strong focus on stakeholder engagement will continue in 2022 including: ♦ pop-in community information days at Horsham Plaza, Dooen Hall, and Murtoa & District Neighbourhood House ♦ information stands at Haven and Jung markets ♦ presentations to communities and local community service groups ♦ Community Reference Group (CRG) meetings will resume in person in April.

Our team is working to finalise EES-related environmental and socio-economic studies, with a view that by mid-2022 these will be available for public exhibition. The Avonbank Project Webinar Series is an excellent resource for any community member that wants to learn about what studies WIM has completed for various topics, such as groundwater and surface water. You can find these on our website. WIM continues to work with local community groups and events and this year plans to yet again be involved as much as possible, with events such as the Western Victoria Careers Expo and the Murtoa Big Weekend. The Avonbank Project will be a major opportunity for local businesses and will be a source of significant employment and cash stimulus to the local economy.

Welcome return of camping festivals BY MICHAEL SCALZO

returning popular music and arts festival is set to attract more than 15,000 festival goers to the south-east fringe of the Grampians plains this long weekend. After a COVID-19 induced hiatus, Pitch Music and Arts Festival will again see electronic music lovers flock to western Victoria for the Labour Day weekend in anticipation of four days and nights of house, techno, disco and

psytrance music styles. The festival, in its fifth year, has regularly attracted renowned Australian and international dance music artists to the region to headline an event organisers describe as an ‘aural experience of electronic music and assembly of visual delights’. The festival is renowned in Victorian dance music scenes for its lavish visual light and art displays that accompany the music. Popular dance-music artists such as Denis Sulta, HAAi, Floating Points,

Skin on Skin, Peach, INNER CITY, CC:Disco, Wax’o Paradiso and Sleep D will help headline the 2022 festival. Visitors will also experience art installations and projects from creators such as Australian sculptor Clayton Blake, who won best art at Burning Man festival 2018, and Adnate, who painted a 20-storey-tall mural on Collingwood housing commission towers. The event will mark the return of camp festivals to the Victorian entertainment landscape.

Pitch will be the first of such events to welcome punters back through its gates since the easement of Victorian COVID-19 restrictions in 2022, which had cruelled the operational capacity of large-scale music events in recent years. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said the council was pleased to welcome the festival back to Moyston. “The return of major events in our rural city is a testament to the collective effort and co-ordination of organisers, our community, council,

and authorities,” she said. “Hosting a major event like the Pitch Festival strengthens Moyston’s appeal and creates more opportunity for people to experience and enjoy what our region has to offer. “The Pitch festival not only gives our economy a boost but invests back into our community, supporting vital services and clubs. “I encourage local businesses to stay open and capitalise on these events and show visitors true country hospitality.”

MX amateurs set for weekend

IN THE ZONE: Bonnie Cozens, 4, warms up with dance teacher Alayna Toporzisek at a The Dancers Zone come-and-try day in Horsham. Miss Toporzisek said the open day was to show the community that it was time to break out of the shell of COVID-19 and get back to hobbies and trying new things. “It was to show children new skills as their brains continue to develop, engage adults wanting to try something new or to rekindle a passion. Dance is for everyone,” she said. “We had workshops from hip hop, tap and jazz to even musical theatre.” Below, sisters Makaira and Ashlynne O’Connell at The Dancers Zone open day.

Roaring engines and spinning wheels will return to Dooen, north of Horsham, this weekend with Horsham Motorcycle Club hosting an MX amateurs event. Club junior co-ordinator Kenny Watts said the event would bring a significant number of families to the region and spectator entry was free. Mr Watts said the event would give up-andcoming talent a chance to compete. “We have eliminated our professional riders, so everyone has a chance to win,” he said. Bronte Holland Memorial 125 Cup, a unique MX Amateur teams event, and an all-female Maggie Stacey Memorial race will happen during the two-day meeting. Horsham club stalwart Mark Hancock said the event would inject about $250,000 into the Horsham economy. He said the event would attract about 1000 people and boost the tourism sector. “During the past 20 years of hosting events, Horsham has become nationally recognised for motocross,” he said. Mr Hancock said from his experience of being in the sport of motocross it had evolved from a group of ‘hooligan’ bikers into a professionally organised sport.

“The Horsham Motorcycle Club has been appreciated in making contributions to the city by the community,” he said. “The residents recognise the motorcyclists when they come into town and have open arms for them.” Mr Hancock said motocross was now a mainstream sport in rural and regional settings. “If you didn’t play football, tennis or cricket you were considered an outcast,” he said. “The media and companies such as Red Bull helped increase the audience size for extreme sports such as motocross.” Mr Hancock said the club had been proactive in collaborating with Horsham Rural City Council in maintaining its track. “We have great sponsors and the government grants we receive are invested back into the circuit,” he said. Mr Hancock said Horsham Motorcycle Club needed volunteers to help with the event. “Each year it gets harder and harder, this year the flag marshal duties have been given to the riders,” he said. People interested in volunteering can call Mr Watts on 0419 313 207. – Nick Ridley

It is wonderful to see our streets re-energised with staff filling offices again and scheduled events and activities proceeding. Hopefully the social interactions which have been desperately missed return in 2022. I have had the pleasure of speaking to a number of groups recently about the role of Mayor, Councillors and Council in our community. The Quarterly Performance Reports and Annual Action Plan demonstrate how Council is delivering on the Council Plan, supporting and enhancing the lives of our community members in so many different ways. Our Council Plan, under the themes of Community, Liveability, Sustainability, Accessibility and Leadership, strives for the 2041 Community Vision: 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. Council is committed to addressing climate change, improving the amenity and comfort of our urban environment and rural townships, recognising the economic value of trees and providing a framework for the proactive and sustainable management of trees by adopting the Greening Greater Horsham – Municipal Tree Strategy and Tree Management Policy. Ensuring appropriate tree species selection is a key component in delivering for the community. Thank you to the community members who took the time to provide feedback on these documents. Your feedback was vital in ensuring that Council meets the needs and expectations of the community. Six flood studies have been completed by the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority since 2009/10 and each recommended that Council apply for a planning scheme amendment to update the flood overlay (FO) and the land subject to inundation (LSIO). The Amendment will ensure Council can suitably regulate proposed development on flood prone land and safeguard against inappropriate developments that would impact other properties. The maps demonstrate the impact of a 1:100 year flood which is significantly more devastating than the 2011 flood which was at a 1:50 year level. All 2816 properties impacted by this amendment will be contacted. Please take the time to confirm the impact on your individual property. Our thoughts and prayers are with those communities impacted in Queensland and New South Wales by the recent floods as they begin the difficult clean-up process. The people of Ukraine are also front of mind for us all as we watch in horror at the devastation of war from the invading Russian forces. It is heartening to see so many Ukrainian civilians taking up arms and fighting to save their democratic independence. We pray for peace in that region and all around the world.

We must seize opportunities O

pportunity is a word many bandy around, especially in a world where an enterprising idea evolves into reality, bringing with it a spur for socio-economic development.

We also often use the phrase ‘missed opportunity’ if it quickly becomes apparent we, to use an old expression, have been guilty of ‘sitting on our hands’. In an editorial in our May 27, 2020 edition, The Weekly Advertiser wrote how it hoped the State Government, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, was staying in tune with multi-million-dollar regional development projects. It particularly made reference to agricultural manufacturing firm Aus-

tralian Plant Proteins, which was consolidating its position in Horsham and looking to expand operations, potentially with a greenfield site in the Wimmera municipality. But as we said at the time, ‘Australian Plant Protein’s leaders have more than hinted that doing business with Victoria is far from embracing or encouraging and as a result has now broadened its next-stage expansion considerations to include other broadacre-farming states. We have to ask whether the State Government, through regional development and agriculture leadership, has left all stones unturned in working to keep this expansion in Victoria. This is serious and goes well beyond the old ‘the state stops at Ballarat’ rhetoric’.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

We heard last week that Australian Plant Proteins, while confirming it would maintain a profound presence in Horsham and Victoria, had signed a major expansion deal with South Australian and federal governments and other partners. You can draw your own conclusions. It’s good news that a Horsham-born manufacturing firm has done so well that it has expanded interstate. But it’s also disappointing the firm’s

best expansion opportunities and support were interstate. This is not a case of something the State Government has done wrong. It’s a more a case of the State Government doing nothing. Australian Plant Proteins has a reputation of generating its own steam, but of course it would have been foolish to ignore significant project and financial overtures from state leaders. The Victorian government developed its regional partnership system to have more efficient and greater clarity of regional priorities and opportunities. This of course doesn’t mean it should rely on partnerships spoon-feeding it information on issues or projects it should already understand. If it did

understand, it would be hard to believe it wouldn’t be proactive in trying to keep a manufacturing firm’s expansion plans and accompanying jobs and economic stimulus within Victoria. It was clearly evident from a media conference led by their Premier Steven Marshall that the South Australians had long identified the potential. Luckily, Australian Plant Proteins, which has based the whole concept of turning pulses into high-value protein powder from a Wimmera idea, has declared plans to continue to grow its Horsham operations. The Victorian government’s radar can be pretty good at spotting issues, opportunities and potential across various sectors. But boy, it sometimes misses the obvious.

has had funds in excess of $1.25-million spent on it. Yet, in the middle of summer, it has been closed with the alternative being the indoor pool or Wimmera River should the public wish to swim. The reason for closure given by both the council and YMCA is the lack of staff, which seems ironic when staff are available for school sports but not the general public. I remind all that it is ratepayers who have contributed to the refurbishment of this facility either by rates and-or taxes and therefore have the right to use this facility during normal working hours of summer. My cynicism suggests a cost-cutting exercise and if not, it’s not the responsibility of the public to organise staff. Between the council and YMCA, it is their responsibility to ensure adequate staff are present for this facility to be open to the public during normal working hours of summer. If staff can be found to ensure swimming sports proceed, then staff should be found to ensure the pool is open to the public at all times.

The council and YMCA need to immediately address this issue. F. Tursi Horsham

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Aged-care fiasco

SIR, – In response to Member for Lowan Anne Webster, The Weekly Advertiser, February 23, 2022. Dr Webster rightfully mentions many worthy grants funded in our seat of Mallee. Well done. But the amount of money we could have received would have been much bigger except for a series of wasteful rorts favouring city marginal Liberal-National Party seats such as commuter car parks, $660-million, sports rorts, $100-million, and safer communities fund, $185-million. We need a strong federal anti-corruption commission and a better funded National Audit Office to stop this in the future. Dr Webster also neglects to mention the fiasco that is aged care. Professor Ibrahim, who gave evidence at the Royal Commission into Aged Care, said the response of the LNP government was ‘an abject failure’ and we haven’t changed the notion that ‘I’d rather be dead than go to a nursing home’. The LNP response of $18-billion looks good, but is spread over five

years, which is much smaller and does not include home-care packages. There were many deaths in nursing homes over the past two years – all occurring in homes funded and regulated by the LNP government and none in nursing homes run by the State Government with better staffing levels. Apart from this, 11,820 older Australians died in their homes during the past 18 months waiting for a home-care package and 53,000 people are still waiting for a package. So much for the LNP protecting the rights of older Aussies who have worked all their lives and deserve to enjoy their autumn years in peace and tranquility. By the way, Labor is no better – neither party wants to make a major funding commitment to aged care and put it on the same footing as Medicare. No major party wants to help solve the problem with a one percent levy on income tax as some experts have suggested. But both major parties have given

This is money paid to people that don’t pay any tax. We could cap the payments at $10,000 a year and have lots of money left over to help pay for a better aged care system, which our old people deserve. Robert Blakeley Horsham

Problems at pool

SIR, – I bring to the attention of Horsham ratepayers that Horsham’s outdoor War Memorial Swimming Pool has been closed when temperatures have been around and in excess of 30 degrees. This is on top of the sporadic openings, where the pool was closed after 9am and reopened at various times later in the day for only a couple of hours. We have a magnificent facility which, in the past couple of years,

Solar: Make an expert choice Do I, or don’t I? Do we, or don’t we? They are questions confronting many people – be they from families living in long-established homes to investment-property developers with an eye for detail and mod-cons. As we move further into a world of renewable energy, it is becoming glaringly obvious that solar power will play a key role in our transition from fossil fuels. In less than a decade we have seen a mighty domestic inclination for people to adopt a solar-power option in generating their own rooftop power from the sun – be it to save on power bills or ‘do their bit’ and satisfy a desire to join a global effort to reduce carbon emissions. The rapid uptake of the concept, in partnership with constantly developing technology, has opened a large and diverse supply market. With this has come variable levels of service and product quality and efficiency. Of course, this leads to the occasional domestic horror story about how things can go wrong for unsuspecting buyers unfamiliar with the technology, the market and general solar-uptake circumstances. And, like any burgeoning industry, it has become critical that people rightfully contemplating installing domestic solar systems can be comfortable and confident about their solar projects.

that we are with you from start to finish throughout the process. We not only sell the product, but help customers complete incentive forms, use our extensive knowledge during installation and act as a warranty agent if needed. It is all about customer support.” Saving money is an obvious incentive for many – up to $1500 a year – and reflective of why more than 2.3-million homes in Australia are now tapping into the resource. Governments have long been on board in promoting the uptake of solar-energy adaptations, providing incentives. In some cases, these incentives can cover up to half of an installation cost, depending on the system size and incentive available at the time. Again, Wade’s can help customers complete incentive forms.

Mayor: Land of opportunity H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline is confident the Wimmera remains a region of opportunity for new industry despite a manufacturer expanding operations interstate instead of in Horsham.

Cr Gulline was quick to declare her position after Australian Plant Proteins, APP, announced it would build a new factory in regional South Australia with support from multi-million-dollar Federal and South Australian government packages. She said Horsham Rural City Council had supported APP in its formative years and had hoped the expansion would happen at a greenfield site in the municipality. “We did all we could to make Horsham attractive for APP’s expansion,” Cr Gulline said. “All indications were that Horsham was set to be the home of APP’s greenfield site. But unfortunately, with our finite local government resources, our pockets were not as deep as the South Australian and federal governments. “APP still has a strong presence here and will continue to develop operations in Horsham. It plans to increase its local workforce and we look forward to supporting the business where we can.” APP director Phil McFarlane, originally from Brim, echoed fellow co-founder and director Brendan McKeegan’s comments that the company’s plans to build its Wimmera project remained on track. “APP’s foundation growth plans still remain in the Wimmera. They are unchanged and we look forward to economic growth they will bring to the region,” he said. “The Wimmera is always going to be the foundation centre and we look to further enhancing the region’s reputation by maintaining a presence here. “The Wimmera is the heartland of APP. It’s part of the DNA.” Mr McFarlane confirmed the decision to enter the South Australian deal was all about expansion and strongly refuted suggestions APP had knocked back State Government offers for financial support to stay in Victoria. “If we did I don’t know about it. But I do clarify that we’re in ongoing discussions with the State Government regarding developments in Horsham and look forward to working together as growth plans take shape,” he said. “I also acknowledge opportunities that Member for Lowan Emma Kealy and Victorian Nationals leader Peter Walsh have highlighted are real and we need more strategies to grow value-add businesses in Victoria. “Ultimately the real benefit down the development chain is jobs.” Cr Gulline said the Wimmera was primed for business investment, especially with Horsham

Robyn Gulline having a renewable energy supply at its doorstep and links to Adelaide, Melbourne and the state’s ports via road and rail. “Horsham stands ready to welcome other businesses looking to invest in the regions,” she said. “We have affordable industrial land that’s available right now, and there is a lot more that will soon hit the market. “We have a major freight and logistics terminal and an existing agricultural industry, so in many ways there is no better place in regional Victoria to invest in now.” Cr Gulline said companies interested in establishing or expanding in the Wimmera would receive unparalleled help and support. “Staff from our investment and growth team can help potential investors obtain government assistance and act as a first port of call for advice on opportunities and potential sites that are ready for business,” she said. Cr Gulline said Horsham district had the benefit of having three key sites ready for development, including the Wimmera Agricultural and Logistics Hub on the Melbourne-Adelaide rail corridor, and the expanding Burnt Creek and Enterprise Estate industrial areas. She said plans for an alternative truck route around Horsham further boost the efficiency of freight movements in the municipality. The Federal Government has provided $113-million and the South Australian Government $65-million to develop the protein-powder industry in South Australia. Australian Plant Proteins, which operates the only commercial-scale protein-powder processing factory of its type in Australia is at the heart of the development. Australia Plant Proteins’ Horsham plant is the only commercial-scale pulse-protein factory in Australia. Wimmera Development Association first developed a business case surrounding the use of regionally grown pulses for high-value protein powder about a decade ago.

Medico: Move forward on health A

BY DEAN LAWSON

retired Horsham surgeon who lobbied strongly against the merger of Wimmera health services is now stressing a need for communities to move ‘forward, onward and upward’ . Ian Campbell said a sense of positivity in working to ensure the region developed the best medical services possible was essential, regardless of what structural system or process was in place. He added that it would be the people of the region, through advocacy and patronage, who would ultimately dictate the type of services they wanted and needed. “To be realistic, as a community we must articulate what we want. Generally we want a hospital where the people of Horsham district and the broader Wimmera can and want to receive first-class health services as or as near as possible to home,” he said. “Importantly, we must get into a position where we move away from a perception that anywhere else can provide something better than what we do here. In many cases, this just isn’t true.” Mr Campbell said an aim of district

medical leaders had long been to establish Horsham’s Wimmera Base Hospital as the best ‘or as close to the best’ country hospital in Australia. “In the end, in this world of restructured health services, we must ensure we have the best and most appropriate services here as possible,” he said. “While many of us have fought hard against changes that have occurred, the fundamental need for quality medical services in the Wimmera remains. “That has always been at the core of debate. So I say let’s move forward, onward and upward. “We have a service in place that we as a community must work with and that will mean people strongly advocating for high-quality health care and providing direction. “Through any of the complexities of the new arrangement, we must use the opportunity to establish the type and health service we want and need and that will take significant input from the community. “Understanding what is or isn’t appropriate will be an important consideration and while it remains to be seen how this will evolve, we know it has to happen – so let’s get on with it.”

Mr Campbell said community clarity and understanding about what patient-care services could and should occur in the Wimmera and what patients needed to transfer to larger hospitals was critical. “While there will always be a need for patient transfers, based on the varied circumstances involved, the key for here is to build on and strengthen local medical services and streamline them overall,” he said. Mr Campbell said one idea to kickstart fresh Wimmera solidarity in healthcare could be a public brainstorming gathering where people could outline preferred community direction. “Getting this type of clarity would mean attracting major input from everyone from community leaders and specialists to the average person in the street,” he said. “We need to continually set our sights on generating an environment where returning or coming to Horsham to work in the medical field or for treatment is an attractive proposition.” Grampians Health formed last year after a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group, Stawell Regional Health, Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital and Ballarat Health Services. The move polarised public sentiment.

Coopers Brewery chairman Glenn Cooper provided insight into the world of brewing and production, at a gathering at Willaura at the weekend. Mr Cooper was guest speaker at ‘A Night With the Blokes’ at Willaura Memorial Hall, an event organised by Community Bank Willaura and Lake Bolac with support from Community Bank Dunkeld and District, the Bendigo Bank Ballarat and Western District Collaborative Marketing Cluster and Rural Bank. Guests travelled from across the state to join men from the district community. Willaura-Lake Bolac Community Bank chairman Rowly Paterson said the event was a great success. “After a difficult 18 months due to COVID-19 and lockdowns, it was great to finally be able to get together and enjoy a night out with friends and meet new people,” he said. “It was a wonderful night of entertainment and inspiration, enjoyed by close to 100 ‘blokes’. “Glenn spoke of the highs and lows of his 160-year-old family dynasty. “He particularly noted the values and traditions Coopers had focussed on in order to continue to grow its success.” Most of the guests were farmers and Mr Paterson said all were interested to hear about how their barley was used to produce malt that went into making Coopers beer. “His presentation was very insightful and interesting with some light-hearted humour thrown in,” he said.

Bioenergy design in Ararat spotlight T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he firm investigating the potential of a proposed $200-million Grampians Gas bioenergy plant in Ararat is assessing industrial processing options to confirm a ‘basis of design’. Pacific Heat and Power is considering submissions from a shortlist of international technology suppliers with appropriate backgrounds and proven experience in order to make a final selection. Pacific Heat and Power managing director Scott Grierson said getting the fit-for-purpose system in place was critical to leveraging investment and realising project ambitions. “Concepts and talk are all great, but you need to have tech vendors and construction partners who are actually able to deliver on their promise and have the experience, reference projects and financial backing to bring their solution to us in western Victoria,” he said. “Hence, part of this process is not just getting information from them regarding their technology. It also represents a preliminary commercial due-diligence process to understand their financial capacity, shareholder base and governance approach and so on. “This becomes important later when it’s time to present the opportunity to investors, with a view to raising project finance.” Pacific Heat and Power is working with Ararat Rural City Council to develop the Grampians Gas plant that would use district straw and stubble to create renewable energy and other products. A multi-faceted project brief involves everything from generating commercial value from agricultural waste to creating energy resources and onsite power, to supporting the potential for ‘behind-the-meter’ opportunities for an indus-

trial hub. The development scope and technology involved has the potential to have a national impact on Australia’s energy direction, use and adaptation and would be socio-economically transformational for Ararat and the broader region.

Suppliers

Dr Grierson said another major step in coming months would be formalising a deal structure and pricing formula with farmers-suppliers in providing straw for the plant. “We’ve settled on a contracting process we believe will provide the comfort we need to take the project forward while getting to fair terms and a workable price formula with suppliers,” he said. “We’re also collecting samples to get specific analytical data relating to different types of raw product. This involves canvasing the spread of straw or agricultural waste from wheat, barley, oaten hay and so on under cultivation in the district to establish a good library of representative data. “This will help identify whether the biochemistry of various sources of supply represent material differences in composition that could influence the technology and-or end product. “We are also working with a mathematical and financial modelling consultant to help map out the multiple variables in the proposed straw-supply chain. This will influence ongoing engineering and design work, as well as impact on commercial negotiations with various project participants.” Dr Grierson said discussions had continued with various organisations regarding the plant’s potential production of biomethane and biochar, including explorations into value-adding options such as the manufacture of urea. BioCNG, ethanol and methanol are other products in the investigations mix.

Fitness and wellbeing sessions Horsham Rural City Council is partnering with district fitness and wellbeing providers to present free sessions at Sawyer Park on Saturday mornings. Residents of all ages can take part in the ACTIVE Horsham Health and Wellbeing Sessions from 9am weekly until November. YMCA instructors led an inaugural session on Saturday and Lisa Cosson from Planet Feelgood will host the remaining three dates in March.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

Ms Cosson said there would be a diversity of sessions across the year. “The sessions will cater for all abilities and ages. People can show up at 9am each Saturday and it will be on,” she said. “We know that not everyone in our area currently accesses professional fitness and wellbeing services, so this is a chance for everyone to come and try different classes for free. “The other bonus is that each

local fitness service will have the opportunity to shine as a business offering. “Different themes will be rotated through, for example dance clubs and martial arts groups will run the sessions at some stage.” Council is providing the program with support from the State Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund. The next events are: Saturday, Yoga; March 19, Core training; March 26, yoga and core training.

Bringing people together A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

s the annual Horsham Fishing Competition closes in on five decades of angling fun along the Wimmera River, Kevin Dellar fondly remembers the competition’s first years.

Mr Dellar, former Horsham mayor and Essendon football player and Horsham Fishing Competition stalwart, was involved with organising the competition from the beginning. The competition started as a Horsham Apex Club concept in the early 1970s. Mr Dellar said when club members got talking about hosting a fishing competition in Horsham along the Wimmera River, they realised the ultimate drawcard would be awarding a new car as first prize. “This was in 1972 when the first competition got going. We went out and bought a brand-new Valiant Galant. It probably cost us about $2500, which now is bugger- all I guess, but it was a bit of money back then,” he said. Mr Dellar, a long-time businessman, said despite having a car to offer the competition winner, the committee did not expect the large response it received from eager anglers, with thousands of people turning up at registration. “We were down at the soundshell area in Horsham, which was just a bare paddock then. We put up a registration tent early afternoon and a few people began turning up to register. By about four o’clock, we started to realise the competition might be a little bigger than we originally thought,” he said. “More and more people kept coming. So many people were turning up to register, we all had to go get our wives to come down and help us out. “We were there all night and by the time we had called it quits, 4000 people had turned up to register that day. “People were after the car. By the end of the competition about 5500 people had registered and dropped in a line.” Mr Dellar said the competition required serious volunteer efforts to run smoothly in its early years to cope with the large influx of anglers to Horsham, especially given the absence of mobile phones and the internet. “We had no computers to manage any of the registrations or to help with any of the weighing and measuring of fish,” he said. “We needed so many volunteers. All we had to weigh all the fish was one set of aviary scales.

A GREAT TIME: Horsham Fishing Competition stalwart Kevin Dellar is looking forward to the 45th event on Sunday. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER “Every fish caught had to be brought back to competition headquarters, alive. We kept them all in aerated drums for the remainder of the competition before we would let them go. We didn’t lose too many fish by doing this, but it is much better now. Not even that the fish-judging is easier, but by catching and photographing the fish like we do now, we really minimise the impact on the river.” Mr Dellar said despite the hard work, the organisers were ‘brilliant’. “We were confident it was easily the bestrun competition in the country,” he said. “It was remarkable to sustain it all, running the way we did though. It was all so labour intensive.” Horsham Fishing Competition has successfully catered for serious anglers as well as families eager to throw in a line. Mr Dellar said the friendships he made during his time at the Apex club and running the fishing competition had left him with lifelong friends. “We still have an old ‘Apexian’ night about once or twice a year. We all gather for a meal and enjoy ourselves. We all go back a long way,” he said. He said the event’s social sensibilities still contributed to its success 50 years

later. “It has always been a big family event, as well as a serious fishing competition. Families find spots they can pull up camp along the riverbank. Camping is still free in many places along the river,” he said. “A lot of people have fished the event every single year and only missed out when the competition was impacted by drought. And whether they caught anything or not – they still always had a really great time.” Mr Dellar said while things were different in 2022 compared with the first event in 1972, some things never changed. “Today the car as first prize tradition carries on, and still, the organisers are responsible for buying the car – it is not donated by sponsors,” he said. “And the magnificent photographs of the morning sunrises as the competition starts. “The morning of the competition, with the dew and steam rising off the river, with the ducks swimming past – it is just bliss. It makes you think about what all the rich people are doing when they could be here in a place like this.” The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition is on Sunday. It will be the event’s 45th year.

Sheep-dog trials at Moyston Australia’s longest-running sheep dog trials will go ahead this month, attracting top-class working dogs from across Australia to Moyston for the 94th year of competition. Moyston Sheep Dog Trials, from March 17 to 19 at Moyston Oval, will feature sheep dogs and their handlers competing in three levels of competition. Spectators have an invitation to see dogs compete in novice, ‘improvers’ and open level trials. An elite working-dog demonstration will also take place on the Friday night. The Brace Dog Trials showcase experienced dogs working in pairs to corral sheep through a variety of obstacles. Moyston Sheep Dog Club vice-president and sheep-dog trial co-ordinator Rosemary Nater said she was hoping for a big turnout across the weekend. “If we get a nice night, we’d hope for about 100 people on the Friday evening, where there will be a roast dinner available during the Brace Dog Trials,” she said. She said because the Moyston trials coincided with national sheep-dog trials in Canberra, the competition at Moyston gave emerging elitelevel dogs the chance to show their wares in serious competition. “The veteran car club will also be in Moyston throughout the weekend and some of their oldest cars will hopefully be on show down at the sheep-dog trials for a bit,” she said. “The youngest car they have is 100 years old so it will be a great showing in Moyston for everyone that comes down.” Spectator and community entry to the oval is a gold coin donation and food and drinks will be available.

Hindmarsh Shire Council has invited candidates for the upcoming Federal Election to attend a forum at Nhill Memorial Community Centre from 6pm on April 4. Candidates will address Wimmera-southern Mallee constituents about the details of their election campaigns. The forum will also allow residents to ask questions. The council revealed three of the candidates had requested the forum. Candidates for Mallee include Anne Webster, Nationals Party; Stuart King, United Australia Party; Chris Lahy, Australia Citizens Party; and independents Sophie Baldwin and Claudia Haenel. Labor has yet to announce a candidate for Mallee. Hindmarsh mayor Melanie Albrecht encouraged Hindmarsh residents to attend the event. She said the forum was a great opportunity to advocate for the needs of Hindmarsh. “I would encourage individuals to hear about the election commitments of each of the candidates,” she said.

Police build-up to huge weekend P

BY DEAN LAWSON

olice will have a ‘heavy and highly visible’ presence on roads and at events in response to a major influx of visitors and travellers in the Wimmera, southern Mallee and Western District this weekend.

Wimmera Superintendent Ian Milner said police would be out in force from Ararat district to the South Australian border during the Labour Day break. He said the March long weekend was traditionally one of the busiest in the region and a series of major events involving large amounts of people this year would make it even busier. “Road safety is always a priority but March in particular, with the many festivals and events scheduled at various locations, demands a concerted approach. Every available member will be out on policing duties this weekend,” he said. Mr Milner said it was important people were aware of risks and took care travelling from as well as to events and also while attending them. “We ask people to be careful. Take your time while travelling and if you’re getting tired have a break. Don’t rush,” he said. “Remember, if you are attending any of the many events the chances are you will be just as tired heading home, if not more than when travelling to your destination. “Added to this will also be an expected general increase of tourists in the area with a lot of traffic flowing through along the Western Highway between Melbourne and Adelaide.” Mr Milner added there would be a strong police presence at events such as Moyston’s popular Pitch music festival, which attracts thousands of patrons. “We are putting a concerted effort in to ensure these events run in a safe manner. We have

Victoria Police road command assistance with drug and alcohol buses and will be focusing on people attending and leaving,” he said. “There is a lot happening. As well as Ararat district there is also a big concert in Stawell and fishing and motocross events in Horsham and a variety of other attractions drawing people into and across the region. “We’re also looking beyond the weekend and throughout March with music festivals in the region occurring three weekends in a row.” Pitch Festival is on Sunday, a Hopkins Creek festival, also south of Ararat, is on the following weekend and a Wild Horses Music Arts and Culture festival, south of St Arnaud is from March 25 to 27. Mr Milner said apart from zeroing in on key weekends and activities, police were also urging people to be vigilant with security measures on their properties. “For example, we’re still seeing opportunist thefts occurring in our more remote and rural areas,” he said. “Property owners shouldn’t be leaving petrol bowsers or sheds unlocked or leave keys in vehicles, regardless of where they live. The message is that if you’re going to be away, ensure everything is secure to avoid making it easy for any opportunistic offenders. “In particular, be wary that offenders can target firearms and this is a particular focus area when ensuring everything is secure. “This is also perhaps a prompter or reminder for people if they do have firearms, perhaps handed down through generations and no longer in use, to consider handing them in. This can provide us with another opportunity to prevent firearms getting in the hands of offenders. “People can get further advice on this by calling police or a licenced gun dealer.”

Ararat craft sessions for carers across the municipality. “The council has a long history of supporting programs and services that foster community connection,” she said. “We’re pleased to be supporting the program by providing a fantastic space for Ararat Disability Carers Craft Connection to facilitate their interactive workshops, along with supplies for the next session on April 26.” Pinarc Parent Support Program co-ordinator Rebecca Paton emphasised the importance of self-care when looking after

Ararat Gallery TAMA and Ararat Disability Carers Craft Connection group have joined forces to provide a monthly craft session aimed at carers and parents of children with disability. Artist and gallery staff member Grant Thomas led the first craft workshop yesterday at Ararat Gallery TAMA. Participants took part in an oil-painting activity focusing on district landscapes. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong emphasised Ararat Rural City Council’s commitment to supporting services and groups

others, specifically carers with children or adults with disability. “As a parent carer, I realise it can be difficult for carers to take time out for themselves, leading to feeling isolated from the community,” she said. “I am really excited about this Ararat-based group – the goal is to create a fun, friendly and relaxing environment for parents-carers of children with additional needs.” People can register by calling Ms Paton on 5329 1361 or emailing rpaton@pinarc.org.au.

More land open for exploration M

BY DEAN LAWSON

ineral exploration across the Wimmera is set to ramp up again with the State Government announcing a search-area expansion of Victoria’s Stavely Arc geological zone.

Schinckel Hayrakes new “Opener Series” has received excellent enquiries and sales according to proprietor, Simon Schinckel. The revolutionised front mounted rake won several awards at last year’s field days. At the Hamilton Sheepvention, Simon was awarded the “Farm Machinery & Technology” Award along with the “Robert F Stewart” – Best Innovation Award”, a highly sort after award. At Dowerin in Western Australia, the new “Opener Series” Rake won the “Best New Release Machinery Attachments” Award. Schinckel Hayrakes have had very positive enquiries from Western Australia through to Goondiwindi in Queensland. On farm demonstrations with the new “Opener Series” Rake have won lots of support from hay growers from the Henty area in New South Wales through to Wycheproof, Jeparit areas in the Victorian Mallee region to the south of Macarthur. After seeing the demonstrations of the “Opener Series” and the “Next F Series” Hayrakes an extremely impressed South African distributor has expressed interest in the machines for their market. Simon has just returned from a trip to America where he attended the “World Ag Expo” at Tulare in California which is the

largest annual outside agriculture exposition in the US with 1400 exhibitors. He also attended the “National Farm Machinery Show” in Louisville, Kentucky. The show is under 3 stadiums covering 27 acres of roof cover, most machinery sitting on carpeted floors with all machines highly polished. Numbers in excess of 300,000 attend the 4 day show, which has approximately 2000 exhibitors from around the world. It was a real “eye opener.” Sales of rakes this year have been very encouraging, with machines already sold to go to the Wimmera, Lucindale, Speed and Newdegate, WA Field Days. Schinckel Hayrakes will be releasing a new model V Rake on the market at Wimmera Field Days called “The Wide Rear” Series.

So call in and have a look at the Schinckel Hayrake stand at the WMFD,

Stavely Arc, which geologists have identified for its potential for valuable metals such as copper and gold as well as mineral sands and gypsum, runs north-south from Mildura to Terang. The government announcement means a further 11,000 square kilometres of the state’s west, including parts of the Wimmera and Western District, will soon be available for exploration. Resources Minister and Labor upper-house Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the move was in response to a need to find more minerals essential for developing clean-energy technology. She said minerals exploration was booming across Victoria with spending growing sevenfold during the past six years. “Exploration is different to mining. An exploration licence gives the holder exclusive rights to search for evidence of minerals within an area using mostly low-impact methods such as mapping, surveying, soil sampling and drilling,” she said. “Mineral explorers in Victoria have a history of being environmentally and socially responsible. It is expected that exploration companies work closely with traditional and local landowners, as well as the broader community, in addition to the strict regulatory conditions these companies must adhere to. “In coming months, community briefings will be held to ensure positive relationships are developed between future exploration licencees, landholders and locals.” The government is opening more land for exploration following the success of a Stavely Ground Release in 2018. The first release made 11 blocks of land available to the market and resulted in licencing of six of them.

A Horsham Red Cross branch leader is calling on residents to act for humanity. Chair Jill Sinclair said residents would join a wave of action across Australia to raise money for Red Cross. Ms Sinclair said the group would be in Horsham Plaza from today until Friday collecting money donations between 10am and 4pm. “Communities across the country will act for humanity, turning their passions and interests into an event that people can support,” she said. “Together they’ll raise money to help Red

Ms Pulford said discovery of new resources was essential in supporting Victoria’s move to renewable energy, with copper a cornerstone for renewable technologies due to its ‘excellent’ thermal and electrical conductivity. Geologists have identified the potential of parts of western Victoria, as a result of millions of years of continental shift and changing environments as part of the super-continent Gondwana, to be the home of precious metals and minerals. They believe the area might mirror circumstances of the copper-rich Andes in South America. Apart from its use in renewable energy, copper has a specific atomic make-up that has powerful anti-microbial properties. During the COVID-19 pandemic, discussion arose regarding its potential for use in public ‘touch’ environments such as traffic-light or lift buttons and hand railings. Ms Pulford said mining exploration also brought a boost to the regional economy. “Exploration in western Victoria has had promising results and lifting the temporary holds on licence applications now will bring vital jobs and revenue to the region,” she said. “Minerals are a key part of our everyday essentials like technology, building materials and medical supplies and are also needed for renewable energy infrastructure.” More details about exploration licences are available online at earthresources.vic.gov.au.

Cross continue its life-changing work.” Ms Sinclair said the donations would help people who were facing a wide variety of issues such as helping people who were isolated and needed regular check-ups. “You’ll be helping newly arrived migrants get set up in their new homes, and you’ll help young people in the justice system get support,” she said. People interested in donating online can visit website redcross.org.au or call 1800 Red Cross.

Takeaway reforms streamline licences A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Horsham restaurant owner has welcomed State Government changes to hospitality licensing reforms, designed to help the hospitality sector recovery from the economic impacts of COVID-19.

The government has claimed the reforms, set to come into effect next month, would streamline and simplify takeaway alcohol with meals licensing and automatically extend trading hours from 11pm to 1am without any necessary change to the businesses’ existing license. Licensed restaurants and cafes can now supply a ‘limited’ volume of alcohol with takeaway and delivery meals without the need to acquire or pay for a second licence. Horsham’s Bonnie and Clyde Pizzeria owner Dan Lukazsewski said, referring to any licensing changes that made trading easier for hospitality businesses, ‘the more the better’. “While the fee for the secondary takeaway liquor licensing was minimal, the changes also reduce

the paperwork and streamline the whole process, which is never a bad thing,” he said. “Now we are getting past the difficulties of COVID-19, anything that tries to help is great.” The reforms also allow businesses to apply for a fast tracked temporary outdoor area licence that would be determined ‘within three business days’, as well as including all online sales of alcohol being subject to the same conditions as in-person traders. These include the need for ID upon alcohol delivery and business responsibility to not deliver to an intoxicated person. State Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Melissa Horne said the reforms balanced supporting Victoria’s hospitality and entertainment industries post-pandemic but ‘ensured harm minimisation remained a key focus’. “All changes have been assessed to reduce both harm to the community and unnecessary hurdles for small businesses, which we know did it really tough during the pandemic,” she said.

Ararat performances return Ararat Town Hall has released its March and April events program as COVID-19 restrictions on live music, theatre and community events continue to ease. Program performances include an afternoon rock and roll concert by ’70s band Spectrum today at 2pm, as part of the Victorian Seniors Festival; Folk and pop singers Jessie Monk and Darcy Fox on March 30 at 8pm; Australian musical The Man They Call Banjo, by Felix Meagher and Dennis O’Keefe, on April 3 at 2pm; and Celtic singer Sionnach Rua’s Great Irish Song Book

performance on April 27 at 8pm. Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said the team at Ararat Town Hall was excited to offer a diverse range of performances within its new program. “As Ararat Rural City continues to reopen, live music concerts, theatre and community gatherings are among the events starting to come back to the Ararat Town Hall,” she said. “We’re fortunate to have a state-of-the-art performance venue that continues to attract quality performers back to the Ararat stage. It is great to see the joy they bring to the audience.”

Wimmera volunteer and Operation Rosemary coordinator Darren Scott has been creating the sprigs alone for the past couple of years and posting them across Victoria and Australia to Returned Service League clubs.

back any clubs wanting the sprigs.” Mr Scott said Melbourne’s Legacy ladies previously created the sprigs, but the group ran out of volunteers and the headquarters moved to the Wimmera. The group meets at Horsham RSL from April 1 to April 14 in preparation for Anzac Day on April 25. “While many of our volunteers will spend whole days working away making sprigs, we welcome people to drop in for as much time as they can spare,” Mr Scott said. He said the general reaction from people who volunteered with the group was that it was ‘friendly’. “There is a lovely bunch

of people who are involved with the group and you will have a good time,” he said. Mr Scott said for people who did not want to make the sprigs there were other ways they could volunteer. “We are also seeking volunteers to fulfill the orders by counting the sprigs and packing them into boxes,” he said. “People can address the boxes; some can man the door so volunteers can sign in so we can tally up the volunteer hours, others can make the cuppas, so there is a job for everyone.” People or clubs interested in volunteering can call Horsham RSL on 5382 5912 or Mr Scott on 0431 214 440.

Festival teases masterclasses A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

returning Grampians food and wine festival has teased potential visitors with a release of selected highlights before announcing a full program closer to the event. The Grampians Grape Escape festival, after a two-year hiatus, returns to Halls Gap in 2022 as a three-day event, from April 29 to May 1. The inclusion of a Friday evening to the program will give visitors a chance to experience the event’s first Feel-Good Friday. Live-music lovers will have a chance to explore food and drink trucks on the Friday evening before they settle into performances from Purple Revolution, Andrew De Silva’s Prince tribute band as well as ’80s cover band Mixtape. The event will also showcase masterclass and cooking demonstrations scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday. Event organisers have described the weekend proper as a ‘foodie’s playground’. Sri Lankan-born chef and co-presenter of TV show The Meat Room Geoff Jansz will show visitors how to make salamis from Grampians pork alongside co-host

James Mele. Televion cooking show host Peter Everett will MC a Grape Escape ‘Ready Steady Cook’ challenge. Internationally acclaimed seafood chef Peter Hilcke, alongside Jason Meehan, will present an inland Grampians fish explainer and portable fish-cooking demonstration. There will also be a cooking demonstration by presenter, author and social media everywoman Emmylou MacCarthy. Cooking masterclasses will also include ‘From Raising Pigs to Rising Dough’ with Great Western Granary; ‘A Pinch of Salt, A Splash of Oil’ with Red Rock Olives, Grampians Olive Co and Mount Zero Olives; ‘Farming Movements’ with Provenir and Schultz Organic Dairy; ‘Bees, Good Bugs and Insect Hotels’ with bug expert Denis Crawford; as well as the annual barrique Grampians shiraz-blend auction and hundreds of wine, beer and cider tastings available throughout the weekend. A little adventures marquee, stop and play stations and a rock-climbing wall will also be available for children throughout the weekend. Festival tickets and packages are available online at grampiansgrapeescape.com. au.

Action plan to help with goals A plan that details how Horsham Rural City Council will meet objectives is now available for public comment. The council finalised and adopted its Community Vision 2041 and Council Plan

2021-2025 last year and has since drafted an annual action plan. People can provide feedback via an online form, by email or in writing. More information is available online at www.hrcc.vic.gov.au.

MANY HANDS: Wimmera hospice members Jan Ackland, left, and Jenny Gilmartin are looking forward to the quilt auction on November 6.

Quilt auction to support hospice Wimmera Hospice Care Auxiliary publicity officer Lea Crammond is calling for quilters to support the group’s annual major fundraising event. This year the group is hosting a quilt auction on November 6. The group assists people who have a life-limiting illness and provides equipment for individuals so they can feel comfortable at home. Mrs Crammond said the group was inviting all quilters from across the Wimmera to consider donating a quilt for the auction. “They might be as diverse as the maker decides, all sizes and colours would be greatly appreciated,” she said.

Mrs Crammond said sewing had become a trend for people during COVID-19 lockdowns. “All the quilts that have been produced during lockdown would be a fantastic donation to our fundraising efforts,” she said. “Funds raised at the auction will be used to purchase or lease vital medical equipment required for those who wish to stay in their own homes whilst palliating.” Mrs Crammond said there was no cost to patients to use the equipment. “The auxiliary members consider this to be a great privilege to fundraise for this purpose,” she said. “Every cent raised is put aside

for this service as we have no overheads, and we are very particular to ensure that all funds raised are used for those in greatest need.” Mrs Crammond said the group had run other successful charity events that raised a significant amount of money. “In 2014 we ran a quilt auction in memory of a beautiful patch worker and talented sewer who required palliative care. It was a fun day and we raised $15,000,” she said. People interested in donating a quilt can call Mrs Crammond on 0417 030 827 or the group’s president, Joy Smith on 5382 2972.

‘Tap and go’ and then what?

alk about hammering the plastic. In November 2021, Australia’s 13.2-million credit-card accounts were used to make more than 292-million transactions with a total value of $31.9-billion.

Card holders who do not pay their balances in full every month are currently paying interest on more than $18-billion of credit-card debt. Interest rates range from 10 percent to 22 percent per annum, so that adds up to billions of interest owing – and growing! It’s not just the easy money that cards provide; it’s the easy form of delivery via ‘tap and go’ that’s pushing our debt to extraordinary levels. The quicker the transaction, the less thought or planning required. Pay now and think about it – and deal with it – later. Don’t become a statistic. Following are some things to look out for plus a few tips.

Traps

• More than 40 percent of credit-card spending goes on groceries and utilities. While this isn’t a problem if you pay off your card balance in full each month, if you’re paying interest just so you can buy the necessities of life, it’s a real danger sign that you might be living beyond your means. • Most credit limits are well beyond card-holder needs. On average, Australians only use about a third of their available credit limits each month. However, by giving you a higher credit limit card issuers hope temptation will get the better of you. If that means you can’t pay off your entire balance each month, you’ll end up paying them lots of interest.

Tips

• Financial institutions can only offer to increase your credit limit if you specifically ‘opt in’. This can be done in writing or over the phone. How-

ever, it’s prudent to withhold this permission to keep your limit under control. You can apply for a once-off increase if you really need to. • Switch to a reloadable or prepaid credit card. Like a debit card it means you are using your own money with the added advantages that you can pre-set a limit on your spending and reduce the risks associated with buying online. Prepaid cards are available from banks, other financial institutions and Australia Post. Make sure you check any fees and charges before buying one. • If you sign up for a new card for an interest-free purchase, pay it off during the interest-free period then cancel the card before the renewal fee is automatically charged. There is no point paying an annual fee if you’re not going to use the card. And a myth... Many people think that it is only lower-income earners who are susceptible to the siren call of easy credit. But like the Sirens of Greek folklore themselves, it’s a myth. In fact, higher income earners also rack up huge balances on gold, platinum and diamond cards, and can experience real difficulty in paying them off. If your credit cards are more an enemy than a friend, a financial adviser will be able to suggest a range of solutions to get you back on track. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

Federal money for Grampians G

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rampians towns will celebrate a continuing revival of the region’s cultural and arts scenes in 2022 as outdoor projects and activities receive a government boost.

Northern Grampians Shire Council, in partnership with Wimmera arts organisation ACT Natimuk, will activate outdoor spaces in the region from May to June as part of a ‘Gatherings 2022. The Grampians Way’ project. The council’s Gathering 2022 project will see Halls Gap, St Arnaud, Great Western and Stawell communities host outdoor street entertainment, cultural displays and performances in town centres and public spaces during May and June. The project attracted a $150,000 contribution from the State Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund 2021, aimed at revitalising public spaces after the COVID-19 pandemic. The State Government has allocated $40million for the fund, within a $54.5-million Outdoor Economy Package, to help Victorian councils to ‘transform more outdoor areas, get more people outdoors and support local businesses’. Northern Grampians mayor Tony Driscoll said the project was a fantastic way to celebrate coming out of COVID-19. “We are a small community in Northern Grampians Shire with a big appetite for the arts and in normal times attract high numbers of visitors annually to our festivals and events,” he said. “ACT Natimuk is sure to produce a program of events that is very memorable and unique

to us and will increase visitation to our area. I encourage everyone from far and wide to participate and connect.” The project will see artists and producers work with the four Grampians communities to build on ‘local interest and momentum’ in the arts to produce the Gatherings 2022 program. Creative producer and Y Space director Jillian Pearce will collaborate with Halls Gap communities, Natimuk artist Mary French in St Arnaud, arts project co-ordinator and Made in Natimuk producer Verity Higgins in Great Western and Regional Arts Victoria artistic director Jacinda O’Sullivan in Stawell . The State Government hopes the outdoor activation funding will support businesses and entertainment industries hit hard by COVID-19 restrictions. State Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said it was great to see Northern Grampians council use its share of the money for a Gatherings 2022 project. “I look forward to seeing locals and visitors out and about, enjoying our wonderful local arts and culture scene as well as our great local hospitality,” she said. ACT Natimuk general manager Tracey Skinner said the Northern Grampians project epitomised ACT Natimuk’s work. “Bringing community together to collaborate, create and deliver arts and culture performances and events are what we do. And love to do! We are thrilled to work with these communities and local artists to create a legacy, to provide that connectedness, and we are hopeful that this will become an annual event,” she said.

REUNION: Former Horsham pub-rock cover band Rift will perform a one-off reunion show at Horsham’s Exchange Hotel on April 2. The band, featuring, from left, Dean Boyd, Glenn Mills, Peter Keyte, Dave McMaster, Mick Finn, Tim Coad and Peter Watts, will play in the hotel’s undercover beer garden from 8pm to 11.30pm. Karryn Addinsal and Sharyn Avery will be the support act. Tickets are available at www.trybooking.com.

Wind farm grants open Applications for the second round of a Wimmera and southern Mallee community Murra Warra grants fund are open. The Murra Warra Wind Farm 1 Sustainable Community Grants Fund provides financial support to promote social and environmental sustainability projects for the benefit of communities in Horsham, Hindmarsh and Yarriambiack municipalities. Not-for-profit groups or organisations can apply for ‘small’ grants of up to $5000 or ‘large’ grants of up to $20,000 – with a total funding pool of $55,000 available. Wimmera Development Association manages the grants program, which is part of the wind

farm’s community investment program. Association project manager Vernetta Taylor said the fund received an overwhelming response in its inaugural year in 2021. She said seven environmental, sustainability and improvement projects for non-profit organisations were successful. “The fund provides community groups and organisations with an opportunity to develop innovative and sustainable environmental projects that will have immediate and lasting benefits for communities and the wider region,” she said. “It also aims to strengthen community connections and social

wellbeing in developing projects focusing on long-term sustainability; to develop projects that enhance and encourage healthy and active communities; and to develop projects which enhance cultural diversity, creative community activities and projects.” Applications opened yesterday and close at 5pm on April 12. Groups must be able to complete all projects by June 30, 2023. Mrs Taylor said people could apply via website www.wda.org. au and hard copy forms were available on request. She said people seeking more information could call her on 0419 114 274.

tawell will rock to the sounds of the 1980s on Saturday night as live-music fans gather at Laidlaw Park for a major community concert.

Stawell Harness Racing Club is presenting ‘Back to the 80s at Trackside’, a free open-air concert featuring a line-up of iconic acts from a unique era of Australian pop music. There has been a rapid public response to the free-entry ticketed event, which means a capacity crowd of about 1000 at the park is all but assured. A booking agency had listed all tickets gone early this week. Harness club chief executive Lisa McIlvride said the event, starting at 4.30pm, was about getting the community together to celebrate after coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are doing this for free because we wanted to give something back to the community and we’re thrilled to pieces everyone has embraced it and jumped on board,” she said. “We’re pretty much full and the economic impact for the town will be great. There are a lot of people coming, not only locally but from Melbourne and other parts of the state. They are coming from everywhere and it should be fantastic. “Everyone will be looking towards the Grampians and a setting sun. There will be food and drink booths and we also have a kids entertainment. “You can’t just turn up, you must have a ticket and all the COVID-19 regulations apply. “A big thanks to our board, especially Nigel Keating and his advice in helping with it all. It has been fantastic.” Back to the 80s at Trackside features an ‘Absolutely 80s’ show with the likes of Brian Mannix from the Uncanny X-Men, Sean Kelly from the Models, Eurogliders,

CELEBRATION: Ally Fowler and Scott Carne will join a live music line-up in Stawell on Saturday.

Scott Carne from Kids in the Kitchen and Ally Fowler, Chantoozies. Gavin Wood from former television show Countdown will compere the event. Show spokesman Scott Carne said the twilight concert would feature acts playing their big hits and culminating in a big finale at the end of the show. “Musically the show is about stepping back into the 1980s and recreating the songs the way they were intended. It’s a full band production with a big sound and light show,” he said. “Hats off to the harness club for doing this for the community.” The Backline, featuring Wimmera musicians, will play first-up before the main act and the show overall will finish about dusk.

Wilson accepts Wannon challenge F

“Under Labor more than 10,000 apprentices will learn the electric and renewable side of the sector and I see Wannon being a big player”

BY NICK RIDLEY

ormer Glenelg Shire mayor Gilbert Wilson has welcomed the challenge of running against Member for Wannon Dan Tehan in this year’s Federal Election. Mr Wilson of Portland is Labor’s candidate and said his time working on the council had been his apprenticeship for his candidacy. He said it also represented an opportunity to end Liberal’s 65-year hold on Wannon. “It certainty is a hard gig to get a positive result, but people are seeing the Federal Government fail,” he said. Mr Wilson, whose father Keith Wilson ran against Malcom Fraser for Wannon in the 1970s and ’80s, said the Coalition government had failed in supporting transport infrastructure. “We have a railway network in Maroona outside of Ararat which is a freight network neglected by the Federal Government and leased to the State Government,” he said. Mr Wilson claimed Mr Tehan had not been attentive to his electorate. “We haven’t seen him in Portland, we haven’t seen him in Ararat, and he hasn’t been in Colac recently,” he said. “He is based out of Melbourne, which really signifies why our elec-

– Gilbert Wilson, left

torate is missing out on big announcements, because it is a safe seat for the LNP.” Mr Wilson claimed the Federal Government had cost jobs in Portland. “The Keppel Prince Engineering factory employed 500 people in its best years, but had to put off many of its employees 18 months ago,” he said. “It is now trying to win contracts while the Federal Government allows international imported goods.” Mr Wilson was also critical of Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s ‘Manchurian candidate’ jibe at Federal Labor Party deputy Richard Marles. “Mr Morrison is trying to stir up lies about China’s relationship with the Labor party,” he said. “We have all seen his lack of abil-

ity to run this country during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Mr Wilson said Labor’s net-zero emissions policy could benefit employment in Wannon. He also claimed the Federal Government had cut training apprenticeships for tradespeople, ‘which had been frustrating’. “Labor will work with universities to boost these numbers,” he said. “Under Labor more than 10,000 apprentices will learn the electric and renewable side of the sector and I see Wannon being a big player.” 2022 candidates for Wannon include: Hilary McAllister, Greens; Craige Kensen, United Australian Party; Amanda Mead, Liberal Democratic Party; and Alex Dyson, independent. Candidates for Mallee include: Anne Webster, Nationals Party; Stuart King, United Australia Party; Chris Lahy, Australia Citizens Party; and independents Sophie Baldwin and Claudia Haenel. Labor has yet to announce a candidate for Mallee.

THANK YOU: Volunteers from Nhill VICSES unit receive a donation from Lowana Cottage Craft volunteer Sadie Williams.

Nhill group donates $5000 Nhill Lowana Cottage Craft has won recognition from Victoria State Emergency Service following a $5000 donation to its Nhill unit. For more than 20 years, Nhill Cottage Craft has been selling cakes, slices and a wide variety of handcrafted items to help support their VICSES unit volunteers. VICSES Nhill unit will use the money to buy emergency equipment required to support operational response within the Nhill community. VICSES Nhill volunteers have responded to 23 emergency calls for assistance in the past 12 months. The unit has been called out to storm and flood events, for road-rescue support and land search and to help other emergency service organisations.

VICSES Mid-West regional manager Jackson Bell said VICSES volunteers were committed to protecting and helping their community get back on their feet. “We’re proud of the work they do and are grateful for the support from the Lowana Cottage Craft volunteers to allow our volunteers to continue to do so,” he said. “We’re recruiting for a range of roles, including operational activities such as land search, flood and storm response and road crash rescue, as well as for administrative and community engagement.” Mr Bell said people interested in learning more about the SES could visit website ses.vic.gov.au/join-us. – Nick Ridley

Jeep reveals battery-electric concept

eep has shown the world its first-ever battery-electric model as part of parent company Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan presentation.

view of the new RAM 1500 battery electric pick-up truck arriving in 2024,” Mr Tavares said. “Our journey is fuelled by a focus on innovation and engineering excellence that will put the latest technology into all our vehicles – from the most affordable to the high-performance and luxury models – all offered through the extensive product portfolio of our incredible and unique house of brands.” Formed in January 2021, Stellantis has a presence in more than 130 countries globally with manufacturing facilities in 30 countries. Group brands include Abarth, Alfa

part of ‘taking the next step to the achievement of the Jeep brand’s vision of Zero Emission Freedom’. The Stellantis Group plans to reach carbon net zero emissions by 2038 and is targeting 100 percent of all sales in Europe and 50 percent of all sales in the United States to be fully electric by the end of the decade. The company will release no fewer than 75 battery electric models by 2030 and targets global annual sales of five million BEVs by the end of the decade. “We are thrilled to present the Jeep brand’s first-ever fully electric SUV, launching in early 2023, and a pre-

Revealed by Stellantis chief executive Carlos Tavares, the fully electric Jeep forms part of what its manufacturer says is a ‘global initiative towards the full electrification of its SUV portfolio’ and is expected to be launched as early as the beginning of next year. Mr Tavares said the battery-electric Jeep would help to expand the brand’s reach and that it formed an important

Romeo, Chrysler, Citroen, Dodge DS, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Mopar, Opel, Peugeot, RAM and Vauxhall. Mr Tavares said the group’s premium and luxury brands – including Alfa Romeo, DS, Lancia and Maserati – would begin selling battery electric models by 2025 with a view to becoming fully electric brands by 2027. All premium and luxury brands within the Stellantis groups are set to become fully electric by 2030. “Dare Forward 2030 inspires us to become so much more than we have ever been,” Mr Tavares said. “We are expanding our vision, break-

ing the limits and embracing a new mindset, one that seeks to transform all facets of mobility for the betterment of our families, communities and the societies in which we operate.” While Mr Tavares did not indicate where the unnamed Jeep model would fit within the all-SUV range, its short development time suggests it would be manufactured on an existing Groupe PSA platform and likely the CMP EMP1 architecture which underpins a range of battery-electric models from brands including Aeolus, Citroen, DS, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall. – Matt Brogan

Incremental monthly increase

he FCAI, the peak body for Australia’s automotive industry, released new vehicle sales figures for February 2022.

A total 85,340 vehicles were sold in February over a period of 24 selling days, an increase of 1.6 percent or 1363 vehicles on February 2021 and a positive gain despite the ongoing impacts of pandemic-related supply and shipping constraints and the prevailing global microprocessor shortage. As an average, there were 56.8 new vehicles sold each day for the year’s second month. FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said global supply chains for microprocessor units were still some distance from full recovery, ‘so we are pleased to see this small increase on 2021 figures’. “The consumer demand for new cars in Australia remains strong and manufacturers are continuing to work hard to get cars into the hands of motorists,” he said. Across the country, Northern Territory sales fell by the furthest margin, down 5.6 percent with 705 vehicles sold. Next was New South Wales, whose total monthly sales figures dropped 3.5 percent with 26,360 units sold, followed by the ACT, down 2.6 percent compared with the same period in 2021, with 1356 unit sales. Western Australia fell just 1.7 per-

while Victorian sales increased by 5.5 percent with total monthly sales of 22,177 units. Queensland was the final remaining state to record an increase in sales, up 3.8 percent with sales of 18,962 new vehicles. Toyota continued its dominance of the Australian new car market with

by Mazda with 8782 unit sales, Mitsubishi in third place with 7813 new car sales, Kia in fourth, 5881 units and Hyundai in fifth with 5649 units. The Toyota HiLux continues to be Australia’s most popular new car model with 4803 units sold across the month of February. Toyota also placed second for the month with its RAV4 selling 4454 units ahead of third-place Mitsubishi Triton, 3811 units, fourth-place Ford Ranger, 3455 units, and Toyota LandCruiser Prado in fifth place, 2778 units. Light commercial utility and SUV models took all but one place in the top 10 model sales list for February 2022, the Hyundai i30 the only passenger-car offering to make the list. The popular hatch and sedan range amassed 1756 sales for the month of February, finishing the month in ninth place. The FCAI says the passenger vehicle market is down by 3509 units over the same month last year, showing a continuing trend against sedan and hatch models. Conversely, SUV sales are up by 2284 units, light commercial vehicle sales are up by 2383 units and heavy commercial vehicles sales are up by 205 units versus February last year. – Matt Brogan

Sporty Arkana SUV arrives

enault’s new Arkana RS Line variant has joined the French brand’s range for MY22.

TOUCH DOWN: Renault’s flagship Arkana RS Line has touched down in Australia priced from $42,090. badging, red and grey contrast stitching, as well as RS badging. Additional specification to distinguish the RS Line over and above the Intens variant includes a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster, a frameless auto-dimming rear-view

mirror and a sunroof. Metallic paint, plus $750, and contrasting black roof, $600, are optional. The RS Line is powered by a 1.3-litre petrol TCe engine that delivers 115kW and 262Nm. The Euro 6 compliant motor is claimed to consume

just 6.0 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. The Arkana offers up to 485 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place, or 1268 litres with them folded flat. A full suite of the latest passive and active safety measures – including

It features unique sports styling both inside and out to give a dynamic edge to the Arkana nameplate. Renault Australia general manager Glen Sealey said strategic additions like the Arkana RS Line were a clear nod to sporting heritage and ‘allow us to continue to grow the brand ahead of other new models we have coming’. “With positive sales growth at the end of 2021, a massive 150 percent growth year-to-date in 2022, and an engaged dealer network, the outlook for the Renault brand is undoubtedly positive – subject to production availability, of course,” he said. Sitting at the summit of the Renault Arkana range, the RS Line adds a suite of sporty design elements to this premium small SUV over and above the already well-specified Intens variant, including 18-inch RS Line diamondcut alloys, a specific front bumper design with an F1-inspired aero blade, RS Line badging, gunmetal grey door trims and front and rear skid plates. Inside, Renault’s racing heritage is acknowledged through the provision of RS Line door sills, carbon-look interior trim, alloy-finished sport pedals, a perforated leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel with RS Line

Active Emergency Braking with vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function, and rear cross-traffic alert – have ensured the Arkana is ANCAP five-star safety rated. Renault’s unique Five-Year Easy Life Ownership program includes a five-year-unlimited kilometre warranty, plus five years’ roadside assistance and capped price servicing. The Arkana will cost just $2385 to service over the period. A successor to the short-lived Kadjar, the Arkana is offered in three grades – Zen, $33,990, Intens, $37,490 and RS Line, $40,990. Despite its swooping roofline, the tiny engine rules the Arkana out as a Kona N-Line or T-Roc Sport rival; 0-100kmh comes up in 9.1 seconds while the top speed is 205kmh – not that outright performance is this segment’s highest priority. Renault Australia has high aspirations for its recently introduced model. Mr Sealey previously described the Arkana as a competitor for premium players such as the Audi Q3 Sportback, BMW X2, Mazda CX-30 and lower-tier Volkswagen T-Rocs, as well as more traditional small SUV rivals. – Matt Brogan

More Storms of Life

Have you ever been in a life-threatening situation? When you cried out for help? Last week I wrote about the importance of a firm foundation and how a personal relationship with God gives that. One day, Jesus and his friends were out in a boat on a lake, and a huge storm, blew up, threatening to drown them. As Jesus gave out all the time, he must have been exhausted, for he was asleep in the boat and didn’t wake up in the storm. His friends, terrified for their lives, woke him up, crying for help. (This story is so important, it is in 3 of the Gospels) When he woke up, his power over the wind and waves was such that everything settled; he calmed them. Jesus’ challenged his friends for their lack of faith in him. There are two other stories of the Disciples in a storm on the lake; it says, “Jesus came to them”, and then the storm calmed. Sometimes, in great storms of life, it seems to us like God is asleep– that God doesn’t hear our cries for help, or our prayers. Sometimes, when we call out and trust God, the storms calm. Perhaps, we can see that God is in the boat with us? Or we can ask Jesus to walk to us, and help us in the midst of storms. He is waiting today for us to call to him. Trust Jesus today.

Traditional start V

BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham members will be well represented across three Phantoms teams in Warrnambool this weekend, as the traditional start to the representative tournament season begins.

A new-look Honors men’s team featuring Nathan Berry, Jack Hannan, Jack Exell and Cam Robinson will renew acquaintances with Renegades, Monash, Rebels, Mazenod, Adelaide teams Austral and South Adelaide and Horsham tournament winner BBJSC Pakenham. Youngsters Ryan Spruyt and Clay Heard will play their key middle-blocking roles for the Phantoms men’s division-three team, while Tamikah Dockrill will line up for the Phantoms Honors women’s team. The Warrnambool tournament has always been the traditional pipe opener for Phantoms teams because they get valuable court time in the lead-up to the state league season. The teams’ players do not get the opportunity to train together because of their different associations. I’m looking forward to coaching the Honors men again this year. Even though we’ve lost some experienced players, I’ve some wonderfully skilled youngsters who are all

keen to play the premier division, at my disposal. Players such as Horsham’s Jack Exell, Bendigo’s Michael Mayes and Sunraysia’s Lachie Scherger and Kade Zrna have all bided their time in the reserves team, and now they get their opportunity to play at the top level, which they are all excited about. Both Ryan Spruyt and Clay Heard have improved out of sight in the past 12 months and have taken their game to the next level domestically. The challenge for those two youngsters is to carry that improvement to state league, and this weekend will be a further learning curve for them. I look forward to watching their progress throughout the weekend. Dockrill has been training hard and will be a key middle attacker for the Honors women’s team.

Domestic

Hellenic Nuggets were big winners from round two of Volleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition with a close-fought win over Heidelberg. Tim Carter continued his great setting form, receiving the nod of the referees for his game, while Dimitrios Vettos slipped into the middle-blocking role seamlessly, getting good touches in defence and being clever in attack as he kept

the Heidelberg defences guessing whenever Carter chose to set to him. Rangers opened their account for the season, with a contrasting victory over Tsunami. After dropping the first set, Rangers clicked into gear and smashed Tsunami in the second, winning 25-8 before winning 25-19 in the third set. Clay Heard and Hannah Whyte combined well as setter and middle attacker with Heard on the receiving end of some great sets from Whyte, enabling the high-leaping youngster to be unstoppable in attack. In A Reserve, Von Steiger Shadows proved too strong for Heidelberg with Mitch Huff consistent on pass and clever at the net. Waterhammers bounced back onto the winner’s list with a hard-fought win over new kids on the block, Mark Block’s Blockparty. Chris Baker was back to his best for Waterhammers while Block and new player John Turton were good for Blockparty. In B Grade, Phantom Masters were too strong for Team USA, while Hot Shots scored a points win over Heidelberg in a topsy-turvy match, with both teams displaying good form.

TOO QUICK: Horsham Cup winner Typhoon Sammy and handler Jason Thompson. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Typhoon Sammy hits city Superstar greyhound Typhoon Sammy claimed Friday night’s $70,335 Group two Horsham Cup in ‘whirlwind’ fashion. Typhoon Sammy, trained at Pearcedale by master conditioner Jason Thompson, continued his ‘tsunami’, landing his second provincial cup. He previously won the G2 Traralgon Cup on January 26. Owned by Samuel Dart in Dulguigan, NSW, Typhoon Sammy provided a timely boost for his Northern Rivers owners, who have again borne the brunt of devastating floods. In a ‘hurricane’ start from box eight, $2.30 favourite Typhoon Sammy blew his rivals away with a 3.1-length win over Americano Miss, $12.10, with reserve runner Lots Of Chatter, $7.90, a further 1.1 lengths away third in 27.21

seconds. Crackerjack Keg, trained by Patricia Smith at Wonwondah, who was aiming to be the first locally trained winner of the Horsham Cup, finished sixth. Typhoon Sammy notched his 26th win from 39 starts, including six of his past eight, and the $47,000 first prize catapulted his stakes to $178,055. Thompson collected his fourth piece of Horsham Cup silverware, having previously won the event with Monsters Inc, 2003, Marungi Blaze, 2006, and Winsome History, 2007.

Centenary celebrations BY MICHAEL SCALZO

Wimmera tennis club is excited it finally gets to celebrate its centenary milestone at the weekend after COVID-19 disrupted plans for the celebration four times running.

Haven Tennis Club will host its centenary celebration on March 19, starting at 12.30pm, to mark 100 years since the club’s formation in 1920. Club life-member, committee member and historian Sue Exell said the celebrations would be a simple ‘day’ of chatting and reminiscing about club memories. “We have collated so much of the club’s history for the event,” she said. “We have even gone through the club’s old committee minutes to get a sense of the sentiment around significant moments in time. “We have gathered old merchandise and honour boards.” Mrs Exell said video footage from Haven’s first pennant premiership in the 1985-86 grand final would also be on display in the club’s hall. She said a new life-member board would be unveiled at 1pm and a life members photo tak-

Sport All Star race A Horsham owned racehorse will tear down the famous Flemington straight next weekend in one of the richest horse races in the world. Lightsaber, the three-year-old colt part-owned by Horsham’s Peter Cross, was won a wildcard slot in the 1600 metre All Star Mile at Flemington Racecourse on March 19. The race is the richest mile race in the world, with a prize pool of $5-million. The Peter Moody-trained horse won its spot by popular vote to claim the wildcard entry, after coming second in an Australian Guineas Group One at Flemington earlier this month. Mr Cross said Lightsaber went into that race ‘a little underdone’, and after making his run with 200 metres to go, was caught in the final 50 metres. “That lack of match fitness tolled on him late and he missed out by half a head there,” he said. “But he was so close to claiming that elusive Group One win. For the All Star Mile, we’ll have him playing it similar to that race; sit one back from the front, time his run and hopefully go one better than last time.” The All Star Mile is a standalone unclassified race where the starters are ‘fan-voted’ to race. Mr Cross said most of the starters were five-orsix-year-old’s with some experienced Group One winners joining Lightsaber in the barriers. “If we can grab a win next weekend, she will a very valuable horse,” he said.

Rebels reward

merging western Victorian footballers aspiring to take the next step in a professional sporting career have impressed AFL pathway club selectors ahead of the 2022 season football season.

Five Wimmera footballers won selection for the GWV Rebels 2022 under-19 boys squad, which will compete in the upcoming pathway competition, the NAB League. Joel Freijah and William Taylor from Horsham Saints, Oscar Gawith from Minyip-Murtoa, and Jett Hopper and Brody Pope from Horsham Demons are all in the 45-player strong squad. AFL regional talent operations lead Brooke Brown said she was pleased with the teenagers and work they had done so far in preparing for their squad selection.

“Especially given that again in 2021 we had an interrupted season due to COVID-19, spots within the team will certainly be up for grabs come round one of the NAB League season against the Bendigo Pioneers. That’s very exciting for the program,” she said. She said head coach David Loader, his assistants and development coaches had been working ‘overtime’ in between the girls in-season program and boys pre-season program. “Their dedication to help improve players in their skill development and football knowledge has been outstanding,” she said. “Hopefully every player who has been a part of our pre-season program has been able to walk away with a new-found knowledge of the game in which they can take back to their home clubs and regions.”

Family club seeks finals finish K

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

alkee leaders say a strong junior program and an all-inclusive family-orientated atmosphere are the club’s strengths.

After tough COVID-19-interrupted seasons, they believe these attributes will be key in pushing the club forward into the 2022 Horsham District Football Netball League season. Incoming club president Travis Kerr, who takes over the role after a stint as vice-president, said while COVID-19 interruptions knocked the life out of the club, like it did to many others, people could now see a way out. “After some time without any certainty surrounding Horsham district football or netball, the enthusiasm within our club is a testament to everybody involved,” he said. “We will always be a family-focussed club and it is great to see the same families back again this year. “We have an abundance of junior players and our overall numbers keep increasing, which is great with the season fast approaching.” Mr Kerr spoke highly of Kalkee’s 2022 coaches. “Very are very lucky to secure Paula Weidermann as senior netball coach this season and she is a great asset for our club,” he said. “Stuart Farr returns to coach the senior football team and his record speaks for

itself. To have a person of his stature leading the football side, after some uncertain times, is great for us. “Kalkee is always an inclusive club. Everyone helps to drive us forward and that is reflected in how strong our junior program has been.” Weidermann, a life member, said it was ‘natural’ to return as coach. “Kalkee is a real family club and I am excited to come back here to coach,” she said. “From what I’ve seen of the team from afar, they can play some great netball. “This year will be about reaching finals. Finals and success – it’s the reason we play. We will be building towards that this year and work on gelling as a team before we hit the court. “No one really knows how things will play out. So, we will see how we go. “There’s been great numbers at training, with selections coming up soon everything is starting to ramp up before the start of the season.” Farr said it was good to get back into training and was confident there should not be further COVID-19 interruptions in 2022. “We had a pretty good year last year given everything that happened with COVID-19,” he said. “We had our share of bad luck with injuries as well last year. So with a bit of luck, with all those guys back on the park, hopefully we can play some

decent footy.” Farr praised the efforts of junior talent stepping up into the senior side in 2022. “Coming up from the under-17s, Isaiah Adams and Brodie Pitt are two examples of great young talent we have,” he said. “We have also secured a hard-at-it ruckman, which is great because they are few and far between. “We have had some players move away from the club at the last moment, which always makes recruiting tough this end of the pre-season. But with our natural improvement that comes with a young side, I am sure we will see plenty of growth throughout the season.” Farr said the 2022 side was not blessed with height, so the team planned to ‘move the ball fast’ and carry it forward with leg speed. “We also want to be a high-pressure side, win the ball back well and lock it in our front half,” he said. “We obviously don’t want to rely on kicking the ball high in the air, but knowing how we will structure up this year, we are training accordingly to suit.” Farr said there were no excuses for why the Kees should not qualify for finals. “We want to play finals football and we will aim for top six. It all starts again this year and there is probably no excuse for us not to do that,” he said.

Leaving last season in rear-view L

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

eaders at Dimboola are excited for the 2022 season to get underway.

They are eager to wash away the disappointment of a COVID-19 impacted 2021 season and chase senior Wimmera League success. Club president Justin Ward said there was ‘quite a bit of disappointment’ after the cancellation of finals in 2021, however the energy around the club was ‘through the roof’. “We are looking forward to 2022. We want to make amends for the shortened season,” he said. “When we drive into finals this year, we want to drive in on eight cylinders. “The way things ended last year gave everyone around the club more spur and desire to push themselves further than before.” The Roos’ senior footballers finished the 2021 season fifth on the ladder, on the cusp of the would have been finals series. The senior netballers finished a convincing third on the A Grade ladder. Senior football coach Justin Beugelaar said COVID-19 had thrown a ‘spanner in the works’ last season, but he was impressed by the way the Roos finished off the year. “I think we were heading in the right direction in the back half of last season,” he said.

“We’ve had big numbers at pre-season training and things are looking good in Dimmy land.” Beugelaar said his junior players had responded well to the challenges of the 2021 season and they had continued to develop throughout the pre-season period. “We have so many great junior players coming into the senior squad and they will be a strong reason why we hope to be pushing up through the ranks this season,” he said. “While we had a focus to bring in some experienced recruits during this period, to have success you need to have a strong junior program.” Beugelaar said strong recruitment over the off-season and steady junior talent meant they had ‘arguably the best midfield in the league’ in 2022. “I am really looking forward to seeing our recruits continue to gel with the team. All over the ground, we are looking pretty strong at the moment,” he said. “On paper we have an intimidating side. We know we will not be overly quick, but we will be a bullish, contested ball, no backward-step style of team. “Our side has a lot of heart. For us it is ‘we not me’ and we live and breathe that.” Beugelaar said the Roos expected to push deep into finals this season.

“Anything less than finals would be a loss. We have teed up this season as our year. Even though things are looking great, and on paper we should achieve what we are setting out to achieve, we won’t know until game day.” Beugelaar said he hoped this season would allow communities and supporters of Wimmera sport to experience a ‘kind of normality’ again. “The region has missed the benefits

of community sport and no doubt we will all be dealt curveballs throughout the year, but hopefully we can deal with them and move forward,” he said. Senior netball coach and netball director Antoinette Toet said plenty of new faces would represent Dimboola’s A Grade side this season. “Unfortunately, we’ve lost quite a few A Grade players to work, university commitments and long-term

injury. But the squad had good energy over pre-season,” she said. “We want to get on court again after an interrupted 2021. We have been training and keeping on top of our fitness this offseason and that has ramped up over the past fortnight.” She said a club ethos on developing junior netballers would pay dividends this season as more senior netball spots became available. “We always look at promoting our junior players whenever we can. At least a couple developing juniors are always involved with the squad or vying for selection,” she said. “We don’t want to make it a big shock for them when they do step into senior netball.” Toet said with a core group of players leaving the club, things would change, but they were still hoping to be competitive. “It is anyone’s guess how the season will go. But the players here are committed,” she said. “We will build on last season, even if it takes a bit longer than first thought. “We always encourage our players to play the highest quality netball they can. We want to have fun, but also be competitive. “We are a close-knit group and we will carry our team-first mentality, we play for common goals not individual success.”

Dimboola Football and Netball club would like to thank all their sponsors and members for the 2022 season.
