Kealy: Stop merger talk M

BY DEAN LAWSON

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has called for an immediate stop to planning that might involve a merger between Wimmera and Ballarat health services.

Ms Kealy said she had studied the merger idea in depth and listened ‘carefully and with an open mind’ to various points of view but could see only a long-term negative outcome for Wimmera people if it happened. She said the threat of the Wimmera ultimately losing ‘critical’ autonomy in health-care provision through a per-

manent amalgamation was too great a risk. “There are too many things that can go wrong. Sure having partnerships obviously makes sense, but people would assume our health services are already working in partnerships as part of a Victorian public-health system,” she said. “When it comes to decisions affecting the Wimmera, the responsible health-care group must be 100 percent Wimmera focused. “If there is a merger with Ballarat I can’t help but believe our region will end up with a small fraction of

any partnership would enhance, not diminish, services. But Ms Kealy, who as former Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital chief executive was the first signatory of collaborative Wimmera Mallee Health Alliance, said she remained unconvinced. “This is not just about Horsham, it’s about the whole region,” she said. “Amalgamation is a very permanent option and it feels like we have skipped a lot to get to a predetermined stage. A merger won’t solve many of the issues that have been raised. “It doesn’t really make sense to try to improve services by taking control

representation in the decision-making process. “And that’s not good for anyone living in the Wimmera.” A voluntary merger is among partnership options Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services are exploring to enhance services across the region. Independent consultant Cube Group is examining partnership details and a staff and community consultation process, which started on October 30, will finish on Monday. Wimmera Health Care Group’s management board has stressed that

away from where the services are provided. “I haven’t spoken to anyone in the wider community supportive of this – and others I’ve spoken to who are either highly informed about public-health management and closely connected to the system or directly involved in health provision, are also deeply concerned about the idea. “We are talking about asking a group outside the Wimmera to take control of a level of responsibility for something we should stay in charge of ourselves.” Continued page 3

Improvements for dog park

Councillor column with Cr Di Bell It has been an interesting time since the elections, getting to know fellow Councillors, working to understand existing policies, review some policies and plans and creating new ones.

Congratulations and thank you to our Community for supporting each other through the pandemic and returning some normality with markets, speedway events, the Fishing Comp and Town Hall events, and others. We need and love our events and appreciate your work. Policies and plans are developed to guide how the HRCC organisation operates, hence, as Councillors we need to ensure that they provide the greatest net community benefit and follow the principles required in the 2020 Local Government Act.

Improvement works at the Plant Avenue dog park means it is closed periodically over the coming weeks. “The community has made a few suggestions on how they would like to see the dog park improved. A common suggestion was planting green grass to prevent grass seeds,” said Rodney Lawson, Parks & Gardens Co-ordinator for Horsham Rural City Council. Grass seeds typically fall off long, wild grass, and can be particularly dangerous to your dogs if they become embedded under their skin. “To prevent this, we’ll be spreading kikuyu seeds and installing an irrigation system to ensure the maintenance of the new lawn.

The park will be closed for certain parts of the improvement process to ensure everyone’s health and safety, and for a slightly longer period to allow the seeds to germinate. The park will have signs on display to let you know when it’s closed,” Mr Lawson said. “Along with the new grass, we’ll be installing a drinking fountain for dogs and people on both sides of the park’s fence. This way it doesn’t matter whether you’re visiting or passing by, you can still utilise the new feature,” he said. Mr Lawson said Horsham Rural City Council appreciated the public’s understanding with the temporary periodic closure of the Plant Avenue dog park, and was excited to deliver the improvements.

COMMUNITY GRANTS The HRCC Community Development Grants Program helps groups in Horsham and district to improve community facilities and work together for more engaged and healthy communities. Applications are now open and close on Monday 1 March 2021.

Information sessions:

These principles include the community being engaged on local priorities, Councils using openness, accountability, and honesty and developing long-term and transparent approaches to planning, plus responsible spending to ensure financial, social, and environmental responsibility and delivery of services that meet the needs of our whole community. Our challenge as Councillors, will be to carefully balance services and maintenance of infrastructure, with long awaited plans for Horsham North, railway yards, and community plans for Haven and rural areas, while considering current and future projects and remaining focussed

on affordability and sustainability for ratepayers in the long term. Developing our Community Vision, then our Council Plan to reflect our vision, will create a great future for our Horsham Rural City Community, with community members participating in the design and actions that build our community vision as a healthy, caring, and inclusive place. We will do this by sharing conversations and building on shared ideas to protect what we value and plan improvements to the lifestyle we offer, but most of all doing that in a way that represents our whole community and not leaving anyone behind. Our responsibility as Councillors, is to ensure the Vision and Council Plan represent the Community’s ideas. John Reuter summed it up well: ‘Cities aren’t just their governments. They are the people who live, work and raise their families there. When we recognise this, we suddenly gain huge new capacity to create the kind of places we want to call home.’ So, let’s get the conversations started, I can’t wait to hear them, and remember, as demonstrated in so many community plans, the wisdom of local people always exceeds the knowledge of the experts. I feel proud to live in this community and honoured to represent you.

Horsham rock festival ideas resurface L

BY DYLAN DE JONG

eaders behind major throwback retro rock ’n’ roll music festivals in Horsham believe they have established a template for live-music events in the Wimmera in 2021 and beyond.

A year has passed since a heavily patronised and successful 60 Years of Wimmera Rock music festival in early February 2020, just a month before the global COVID-19 pandemic caused nation-wide lockdowns. The event also represented a 10-year anniversary of a similarly successful 50 Years of Wimmera Rock. Last year’s showcase involved a tried and tested format from the 2009 50 Years of Wimmera Rock event that reunited former Wimmera bands, introduced contemporary acts and captured thousands of festival-goes from across the region. But organiser Lynton Brown said the 2020 event left bands, organisers and

music lovers alike hungry for more and left people questioning, ‘what’s next?’ Mr Brown said although the question remained unanswered, he did not rule out the possibility of another event occurring sooner than 10 years. He said it would take fresh volunteer interest to step up to the challenge and lead the direction for future festivals or concerts of a similar size and style. “The people who originally got the ball rolling for this event, including myself, Malcom Schier and Dave McMaster, are all getting older,” he said. “Going forward we need fresh, young blood who want to take over and volunteer to make these sorts of events live on.” Mr Brown said he would be keen to explore possibilities of running the event again within five years or a smaller event even sooner. “I know a lot of the bands want to do something sooner rather than later,” he said.

“When we’re ready again, we’ll call out and see if there’s enough interest – we might do something in two or three years, but it might be something smaller based solely at Horsham Soundshell.”

Volunteer commitment

Mr Brown said last year’s event required several years of extensive planning, where a volunteer committee helped organise more than 50 bands to play over three days across several venues. Some band members and support crews travelled from across Australia and beyond to gather for the reunion event. “We also have to consider all the bands played for free for both events and we still have to hire PA and the venues. Last year a Horsham Town Hall team came on board and looked after a lot of the logistics involved,” Mr Brown said. “It took about three years in plan-

ning before we could run the 50 Years of Wimmera Rock event 10 years ago. “That included everything from coming up with the idea, to researching and refining the different bands, looking back over the bands from the ’60s and seeing whether they would reform for the event.” Horsham Rural City Council, which works closely with event organisers in providing key elements of the event such as the town hall, is reviewing its role in providing support for organisers. Mayor Robyn Gulline said large events such as the rock festival provided major socio-economic benefits for the Wimmera and it would be crucial for the council to continue providing its support. “This is not only in terms of support provided to volunteer organisations from council staff, but also finances provided based on the benefits of the event being undertaken to the region,” she said.

“They bring the community together to meet socially and to spend their money in the community.” Cr Gulline acknowledged the continuation of these events would be entirely reliant on ‘countless’ volunteer hours. “Many hours are provided by volunteers, not only in running the event on the day but also in relation to event administration,” she said. “Many community events rely on volunteers and these events would not be sustainable without them.” Cr Gulline said the event, which showcased artists across various genres including pub-rock, folk and bush-dance and easy-listening, was a prime opportunity to celebrate the Wimmera’s unique music culture. “These events are critical – it is an opportunity to showcase the talents in the Wimmera,” she said. “It creates greater awareness and can be an inspiration for others.”

Splash of colour to liven youth centre Street art and the installation of a time capsule at a Horsham youth centre will prompt a new age in services for the region. Wimmera youth were busy trialling their street-art skills at the weekend as part of a logo-design competition for newly re-established centre The Station. Horsham Rural City Youth Council started the competition to create a brand identity for the Pysent Street centre, formerly known as Nexus.

Wednesday, February 10, 2021

The council contracted street artist Dan Wenn, founder of Melbourne-based street-art collective 90 Degrees, to paint the winning design on the centre’s external wall. Council youth services planning and engagement officer Annie Mintern said the artist would start painting the building this week. She said the youth council also took submissions for a time capsule to be installed at the centre. “When the wall designs are com-

pleted and the capsule is installed, we hope to celebrate with an official opening day,” she said. “The intention is to have created a multi-purpose area for our region’s youth. “We also hope to be open as a dropin space on a trial basis in the coming months.” Ms Mintern said the artist would also paint an artwork on the centre’s internal wall. – Dylan De Jong

From front page Wimmera Health Care Group’s board is exploring a voluntary merger as a way to lessen reasons for people to travel to Ballarat for public health care. Its aim is to ‘provide better access to clinical care locally, and to strengthen capacity and workforce’. It has also identified during the COVID-19 pandemic the value of partnerships between the health services. It has explained that ‘issues such as workforce shortages, financial constraint, infrastructure limitations and increasing governance expectations and obligations have been a pressing issue for the board for some years. ‘The current approach to health-care governance and service delivery is not sustainable and requires change, so WHCG approached BHS about strengthening partnerships to achieve greater health outcomes for the community’. Ms Kealy said if Wimmera residents were experiencing higher levels of chronic illness and ill health compared with the rest of Victoria, adequate and appropriate health-service governance needed to be in Horsham. “It’s as simple as that. We need decentralisation not centralisation,” she said. “This is a much bigger issue than simply sending people up and down the highway and trying to fill gaps. “It’s about building public health

services that are reliable, appropriate and holistically focused in and on our region. “And this isn’t just a Wimmera issue. “Most regional public hospitals have similar problems with a funding model that needs overhauling and better government understanding of changing circumstances in the health-care environment. “A major risk of an amalgamation is a need for less people to call the Wimmera home and that can only be detrimental for a region needing more people and starting to grow.” Ms Kealy said she understood Wimmera Health Care Group board frustrations in needing to come up with solutions to maintain or build medical services and associated funding pressures. “But I urge the board to explore other options,” she said. “If it’s a funding issue the State Government should provide the money needed. “If it’s about securing visiting specialists then enter service-sharing agreements. But don’t throw away autonomy. “You only really get a feel for what the community really needs if you are on the ground. “There’s a lot to be said for walkdown-the-street accountability and being able to stand on your own two feet.”

Pilots do it tough in region cool snap

isiting glider pilots are banking on a return to warm conditions in the Wimmera this week to allow them to finish Horsham Flying Club’s Horsham Week competition on a high.

Unseasonably cool weather has put a damper on competition, testing pilot skills and severely restricting efforts to complete set courses. Rising columns of hot air or thermals are a key to gliders staying airborne and some pilots have failed to start, others have started but been forced to turn back and some have had to land in paddocks and needed to be retrieved. Horsham Flying Club president Arnold Niewand said the hope was for warmer conditions forecast for the rest of the week to heat up the ground, generate thermals and improve conditions.

“The weather so far hasn’t been that conducive to good flying, in fact we started with a couple of very average days that really tested the pilots. The weather, with a cold wind coming from the south, has been far from normal for this time of year,” he said. The cool conditions are in stark contrast to a January lead-up, which provided hot weather and perfect gliding conditions. Mr Niewand thanked district farmers for their understanding and help when gliders were forced to land in paddocks. “We rely on the farming community to be conscious of the potential of gliders landing in their paddocks and of course whole heartedly thank them for their co-operation,” he said. Annual Horsham Week, running continuously for the past 50 years, is a Wimmera sporting-event icon and

this year the competition attracted 37 entries, three short of the maximum. “Apart from the weather circumstances we’ve experienced so far, everyone has been really pleased to be out there and enjoying activity instead of the isolation we’ve all experienced in the past year,” Mr Niewand said. “Based on the enthusiastic response from the gliding fraternity we are already making plans for next year.” Horsham Week involves circuit racing based on set courses across the Wimmera-Mallee and pilots either racing against the clock or each other. Racing is a general test of endurance and skill involving the various elements soaring across distance in changeable weather conditions. Pilots must adapt their flying techniques to meet various challenges.

More land opens with rising demand H

BY DEAN LAWSON

ousing-land development across parts of the Wimmera continues to ramp up with a fresh stage of an expansive estate in Horsham’s northwest on schedule to open in the near future.

An extra 16 housing allotments ranging from 500 to 1000 square metres in De Castella Estate in the Oatlands area will provide fresh opportunities for buyers keen to invest in real estate. Construction teams are already deeply engaged in land preparation. Coller Rathgeber Property Group principal Tim Coller of Horsham said the development represented one of many new Horsham residential projects either in the planning stages or already underway.

He added there was more land available on the expansive De Castella site for a further 100 allotments pending demand. “Horsham is in an ideal position to exploit new residential opportunities. In fact many cities would love to be in Horsham’s position with the amount of land it has available for subdivision,” he said. “Importantly Horsham doesn’t need any more land to be rezoned. “Estates such as De Castella, Jenkinson and South Bank provide property opportunities in different parts of the city at a level for every type of buyer. “Overall they have provision for about another 800 lots. “It is a fantastic circumstance. One of the great things in Horsham when it comes to progress and development

is that appropriately zoned land for housing is readily available to meet demand. It’s a bonus and would be very attractive for anyone keen to relocate to the region with work, family or lifestyle needs.” Mr Coller said demand for land during the past six to nine months, fuelled by low interest rates and government incentives for people to build, had caught many private developers off guard. “Therefore the stock available has been at historical lows. Each of the developers we deal with are working as quickly as possible on construction and to offer more allotments to the buying public,” he said. The latest housing-land development projects in Horsham, which also include a contained single-bedroom-unit

Minerva village in the Oatlands area and a multi-storey short-stay apartment block in Baillie Street, correspond with a similar push for major residential expansion in Stawell and Ararat. Northern Grampians Shire Council has appointed Fitzroy-based building PassivePlace Developments to establish an eight-hectare residential site on Sloane Street between Ararat and Cahill roads, allowing for between 60 and 110 dwellings. Private multi-million-dollar land projects are also set to open the door for critical new housing opportunities in Ararat. A Greenhill Lake Estate and Chalambar Golf Club development are likely to add more than 260 residential lots to Ararat’s housing market. Predications are that advances in

By-election reminder St Arnaud district people voting in a Northern Grampians Kara Kara Ward by-election must have their ballot papers in the mail or hand-delivered to an election office by 6pm on February 19. Election manager Clarissa Hyland encouraged people to vote as early as possible after receiving ballot packs in the mail. “With the whole by-election being conducted by post, it’s incredibly important voters complete and return their ballot material as soon as possible to make sure their vote counts,” she said. She said voters who had not received a ballot pack by today should call 1300 128 940 during business hours to arrange a replacement. Candidates who have nominated for the by-election are listed in the ballot packs with their details available online at vec.vic.gov.au.

Dog park closure Improvement works will periodically close Horsham’s Plant Avenue dog park during the coming weeks. Horsham Rural City Council’s parks and gardens co-ordinator Rodney Lawson said the council appreciated public understanding of the closure and was excited to provide the improvements. “The park will be closed for certain parts of the improvement process to ensure everyone’s health and safety, and for a slightly longer period to allow seeds to germinate. The park will have signs on display to let you know when it’s closed,” he said.

primary industry such as agricultural value-adding, mineral sand and precious-metal mining and renewable-energy generation in the near future will provide an opportunity for a growth spurt across the region. Development leaders have identified immigration and appropriate housing opportunities as key elements in the development formula. Wes Davidson from Wes Davidson Real Estate, also of Horsham, said last November the variety of developments reflected a growing need for housing diversity. He said housing-development adaptability was crucial for regional centres to capitalise on growth. “With growth comes people and with people comes a variety of housing needs,” he said.

Fishing competition open Online entries for the 2021 The Weekly Advertiser Horsham Fishing Competition are now open, with more than 30 percent of registrations sold on day one. This year’s event is capped due to COVID-19 restrictions and up to 800 seniors and 200 juniors – under 15 – can compete. Although there is no tiddler section, young children can register as juniors. Organisers of Horsham’s long-running Labour Day weekend fishing competition have been working on new guidelines for the March 7 event. Fishing will start at 6.30am.

Sense of pride in heritage A Wotjobaluk woman features in a Victorian campaign aimed at sharing traditional owner stories with a major focus on treaty, truth and justice. Wotjobaluk and Ngarrindjeri woman Tracey Rigney, a published playwright and filmmaker, tells the story of her great-greatgreat grandfather and Australian cricketer Jungunjinanuke. Her ancestor, who lived and worked across the Wimmera, was part of a team of 13 Aboriginal cricketers from western Victoria that set sail for England to become Australia’s first ever cricket touring party in 1867. The story of his life is among many traditional owners are sharing as part of a ‘Deadly and Proud’ campaign.

The campaign also features musician Archie Roach, actor Miranda Tapsell and footballers Courtney Ugle and Tony Armstrong, among many others. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Gabrielle Williams said the campaign recognised and celebrated the unique status, rights, cultures and history of Aboriginal communities in Victoria. “The more we share the pride of First Nations people, the stronger we will be. This will only complement our unprecedented work towards treaty, truth and justice,” she said. People can explore an interactive map at deadlyandproud.com.au to access stories from across Victoria.

Mayor: We must fill jobs H

orsham mayor Robyn Gulline has urged businesses looking for staff to be vigilant in calling for applications.

Cr Gulline also encouraged people looking for work to be proactive in their search and importantly, pass on job opportunities to people they might know outside the region. “I’m constantly hearing from many in the business community that they are not operating at full capacity due to a lack of staff. In fact some are desperate to fill these roles,” she said. “The idea that there are no jobs out there is a myth in our part of the world.” Cr Gulline said it was important for regional development that businesses in a position to and keen to grow persisted in trying to fill positions. “If there are jobs available then surely there are people to fill them,” she said. “This is something we must promote. We don’t want a situation where businesses give up on trying to fill positions. “I also encourage people in the region to pass the message on – spread the word – to others who might be feeling the pinch outside the region. “There is a full spectrum of skill levels required in the jobs I’ve seen available. And the opportunities involving remote working have never been better. We need people to fill jobs for our region to reach its potential.” Cr Gulline said apart from the various employer-employee matching avenues available for businesses, they could also use online Grampians Jobs website service at grampiansjobs. com.au.

The site is marketed to job seekers in Melbourne and other major population centres in Victoria and South Australia. The site covers Horsham, Ararat, Northern Grampians and Southern Grampians municipalities and also involves Grampians Tourism. Expectation is that development projects across the region will create more than 1000 new roles during the next five years. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman, in close association with many tourism operators, reported in December last year that a Grampians region job market was experiencing a labour shortage and was well positioned to welcome people seeking new career paths. “On average, job vacancies reach up to 150 existing roles across a variety of industries in the region each year, equating to more than 750 open roles,” he said at the time. “In particular, the top five most difficult jobs to fill include healthcare professionals, trade professionals, executives and senior managers, engineers and chefs.”

Start tapping into imagination

t often takes some serious creative thinking to turn a profound disadvantage or long-term problem into something progressive. Yet history also tells us it is often a persistent problem that provides a catalyst for progressive thinking that opens doors to opportunity. So let’s give ourselves an assignment based on this observation and apply it to a desire to generate Wimmera progress and development. First off, let’s randomly identify a longterm problem. Okay, got one! Let’s see where the thought process goes. Step one. If there is one major source of frustration in parts of the Wimmera, especially in Horsham, it must be the extent of ground movement. Research suggests we have some of the most reactive soils in Australia, soils that dramatically expand and contract in response to a raft of environmental conditions. Many of us don’t need reminding. We are familiar with those mini-fault lines that snake across sun-baked paddocks, annoying cracks that suddenly appear in freshly applied household plaster and the rise and fall of concrete slabs and paths. This earthly movement is a major historical consideration for any structural development or management plans in particular areas. Step two. Where to now in this thinktank assignment in finding a positive to this negative and how the Wimmera might

Step 3. So let’s for a moment allow ourselves to think big, to look beyond the norm, to dream about how we in the Wimmera might – and why not? – lead the way. Let’s put two and two together. What better place to explore road technology than in a region with some of the most reactive soil conditions in Australia? It suddenly seems obvious that a place where our frustrating reactive soils are at their worst would provide the perfect development and testing environment for a road, pavement and hard-stand technology project centre. If a road or other road product or road-building technique passed a resilience and longevity test here, it is likely to pass it anywhere. We’ve seen pavement technology use recycled resources such as soft plastic as a pour ingredient. This has happened in Horsham’s revamped Coles car park. So, in continuing to probe the edges of a ‘pie in the sky’, imagine a regional value-adding waste-management aspect to a pavement-technology centre and resulting burgeoning industrial activity. The idea seems to grow on its own. Okay, okay! Are we getting a bit unrealistic? Maybe, but maybe not. If one person can think up an idea by using a simple explore-the-negativefor-a-positive formula, there must be plenty of others out there. While obviously needing to dwell in the realms of day-to-day reality, we must allow ourselves to be imaginative and willing to explore. Let’s challenge ourselves.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

benefit? Let’s start by considering one of the most consistently expensive structures affected by troublesome ground and environmental conditions – roads. Creating enduring transport surfaces across vast stretches of country is an ageold challenge. Hmm! Suddenly a thought is emerging about where an opportunity-from-a-problem scenario in the Wimmera might be waiting to happen. Road construction and maintenance, based on engineering technology of which we have long relied, continues to be a costly sponge. As well as the natural erosive elements of ground movement and heat, cold and wind, processions of heavy vehicles also quickly make short work of surfaces. How much roads cost to make and continue to repair is staggering. The cost of maintaining roads to acceptable standards across Victoria, let alone Australia, is so high it tends to dominate a high percentage of government budgeting plans. There is obviously a need to develop ways for roads to better retain their integrity in a broad range of conditions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s fill the town hall

SIR, – I refer to my letters ‘Health Service Stand’ on January 13 and ‘Time to Demand’, January 27. I appreciate the service given by board members of Wimmera Health Care Group. They are people appointed by the State Government and gladly accept this position in the belief that they can contribute to and improve the state of health service delivery within this region. Such board members are firstly appointed to represent the interests of their community and also to ensure government policy and regulations are observed within their health service. People of the Wimmera and southern Mallee need to be reassured by the board of WHCG that the first part of this responsibility has been in the forefront of their minds at all times. It would have even preferable for the board to have approached the community in the first instance with a number of alternative stages for discussion and debate, rather than enter into negotiations with Ballarat Health Services regarding a possible merger and then inform their community at a reasonably late stage as to

what they were proposing. If this had been done it would have been a much more business-like approach and have shown greater courtesy to this community. I thank the chairman of the board and the health service CEO for granting me the opportunity to meet with them on Friday, January 29. We had quite a detailed and frank conversation and I was grateful that it was agreed a public meeting should be hosted in the Horsham Town Hall with an independent chairman and a PA system whereby the health care management and board could present their case and the community could then ask questions as to how the board members and management believe this action will be of benefit to our community and debate the issues. I see this as a genuine attempt to correct some of the angst that exists around the proposal put to us and that we might move forward in a much more co-operative and respectful way to find solutions to what the board and management see as problems and difficulties going forward. When the public meeting is called, it will be necessary for the people of Horsham and the wider Wimmera and southern Mal-

Hopper Electrics

lee to fill the town hall to capacity to show that this proposal is of great concern to all. This could be the means of convincing the board the autonomy of our hospital is not negotiable. Bill Ower Horsham

Prove you are responsible

SIR, – ‘Are you a responsible person?’ It’s an easy question, and I guess close on 100 percent of readers would answer ‘yes!’ If you were in public in the last week without a mask, you are not responsible. Wear a mask, sanitise, stand 1.5 metres away and get tested. Stop the outbreaks. Bernard Quince Ararat

Black water path

SIR, – The black water in the Wimmera River at Horsham never came from Glenorchy. It came from Lake Lonsdale when idiot authorities tried to drain our lake down the Little Wimmera River into the Wimmera River and up to Horsham. Authorities got what they deserved. Frank Templar Stawell

March expectation for vaccine start A

BY DYLAN DE JONG

health professional has earmarked early March as a potential start for the roll-out of COVID-19 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in the Wimmera for ‘highpriority’ residents. The comments from Wimmera Health Care Group acting medical services director Robert Pegram came after the State Government announced nine vaccine hubs would open across Victoria. Dr Pegram said the vaccine would be dispatched from Ballarat Health Services, the closest hub to the Wimmera. “The current arrangement is that the

vaccine will arrive in Ballarat, where it will be stored and distributed to other centres around the Ballarat region including Horsham,” he said. “Those batches will be unpacked, reconstituted and delivered to the population at the local level, so it’s a layered approach and the plan is that people will be vaccinated in their own town.” The Pfizer vaccine is the first COVID-19 vaccine to receive regulatory approval in Australia after undergoing a complete assessment approval process and meeting high safety, efficacy and quality standards. Medical experts say two doses will be provided at least three weeks apart and the vaccine must be stored and

transported at minus 70°C. Dr Pegram said planning time was needed before the roll out start. “We need enough time to start the program and each of the hubs needs to get their systems right and then it will be distributed out to individual towns and individual centres,” he said. “It will take a couple of weeks to get all of that sorted, but at this stage we are looking at the second week of March – it might even happen earlier than that. “It really depends on when the vaccine arrives in the country in sufficient quantity to be able to distribute it.” Australia’s COVID-19 vaccines will roll out in phases, with the Federal Government prioritising groups based

on expert medical and public health advice. Dr Pegram said Wimmera residents most at risk of the virus would be vaccinated first. “The decision, which is a sensible one, is that those most at risk, frontline workers, particularly those working in quarantine in the metro areas, will get it first,” he said. “From there it will cascade down. There will be a structured hierarchy as to who gets the vaccine in what order based on risk.” People who will be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine as part of ‘phase 1a’ include all staff working in the hotel quarantine program, frontline at-risk health care workers

Open until 6pm weekdays and noon on Saturdays

including hospital staff working in COVID and suspected COVID wards, emergency department and intensive care unit staff, staff at GP respiratory clinics and COVID-19 testing facilities, ambulance staff and paramedics, aged care and disability care staff and residents. Further roll-out of other vaccines, including the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, will depend on regulatory approvals, volume and timing of doses becoming available.

Money for garden projects Garden attractions and projects in Horsham and Halls Gap will benefit from the latest round of a State Government Growing Victoria’s Botanic Gardens grants program. The government will provide $78,000 for projects at Horsham Botanic Gardens and $40,000 for Wail Arboretum. It will also provide Grampians Flora Botanic Garden in Halls Gap with two grants totalling $56,876. Labor Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the grants were part of a $4-million, two-year program based on a State Government election commitment to upgrade the state’s botanic gardens. “2020 has reminded many Victorians of just how important nature is for our health and wellbeing. Our continuing investment in botanic gardens across the state supports that,” she said. A $28,000 grant for the Horsham gardens will go towards new educational signs mounted onto

rostrum-type metal stands. A second grant of $50,000 will improve access, with work on 190 metres of a main walking path. The Wail Arboretum grant will help with the renewal of the arboretum. The project will improve accessibility to the arboretum and improve and protect the plant collection and develop some interpretive signs. This project is primarily about improving infrastructure. At Halls Gap, $50,876 will go towards improvements to the facilities including construction of a steel shed to act as an administration centre, fitted with benches, bookshelves, power points and lighting. It will also include powersupply access, toilet facilities and an overhaul of a watering system. The second grant of $6000 will help create connections to indigenous knowledge of plants and use of plants in the garden through artwork, noticeboard and signs.

West Wimmera in the spotlight Award-winning television producer and presenter Greg Grainger has visited West Wimmera Shire to develop content for a Travel Oz documentary show to feature next month. The shire will feature in a Travel Oz Victorian tourism special, scheduled to air on March 6 on Channel 7TWO. Mr Grainger is producing a three-minute west Wimmera feature as part of the episode. West Wimmera Shire Council has financed the feature from its annual tourism development budget. West Wimmera identities Julie Finch, owner of Kaniva Puppet Shop, and farmer Richard Waite, former chair of Wimmera Mallee Tourism Board, spoke briefly on west Wimmera tourist drawcards in material gathered for the show. The feature’s key focus points will be regional art, local birdlife and lakes, wetlands and waterways.

Mr Grainger started the shoot at the north end of the shire in Kaniva. He captured the street art, Kaniva’s painted sheep and the latest additions to the silo trail at Kaniva and Goroke along the way. His crew then visited Apsley’s main street and mural, Edenhope’s Lake Wallace and a bird mural on the bank followed by a trip to the Glenelg River at Harrow where children were filmed catching fish. The day’s shoot culminated in a campfire with the freshly caught fish on a hotplate. Council leaders are unsure how much of the footage will be highlighted in a final cut but are confident the feature will be money well spent. Council interim chief executive Paul Brumby considers the west Wimmera feature an essential promotional tool to boost the district economy and tourism trade. “All levels of government are send-

ing out the message to Australians to book a ‘holiday at home’ to drive tourism and we wish to echo this too,” he said. “Our tourist economy was hit hard during last year’s lockdown with both border closures and Melbourne’s ‘ring of steel’ taking away a lot of our Australian visitors. There’s not much we can do about international tourism at the minute, but we’d love to see our fellow Aussies get out and about here in West Wimmera. “We have an absolute bountiful supply of tourist attractions for art lovers, nature enthusiasts and people who value the great outdoors that bring both new and repeat visitors to our shire annually. “We are confident this episode will entice our local community and prospective tourists to put us at the top of their bucket list for getaways and outings; we have so much to offer in West Wimmera Shire.”

Trust keen to move

orsham Cemetery Trust members remain hopeful of soon receiving official confirmation of development designs for a transformational watersupply system for Horsham Public Cemetery.

Project spokesman Robert Walter said the group was still awaiting a response from GWMWater about the idea, based on turning the cemetery into a green-belt park. “We’re just waiting on official correspondence from GWMWater regarding the proposal, although we’re encouraged from how they and Horsham Rural City Council have responded to the concept in the media,” he said. “We understand these processes take time and we are willing to be patient, but we’re keen to start formalising proceedings and gain a clear direction about what can happen and where the proposal can lead. We need to get an idea of what type of system can be put in place to make this project work and satisfy all issues confronting the various parties.

“We understand these processes take time and we are willing to be patient, but we’re keen to start formalising proceedings”

– Robert Walter

“It would be great to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.” Horsham Cemetery Trust is exploring a $30,000 to $80,000 project that might tap into Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline supply that allows it to water the cemetery for 12 months of the year. Having access to an ‘affordable and permanent’ supply is at the core of the trust’s aim to transform the overall cemetery, which sits on Crown land, into a gardens environment that ‘promoted passive recreation and relaxation as well as somewhere for people to reflect and pay their respect’. The trust accesses limited stormwater supply from nearby Horsham Police Paddock dams. The dams also provide water to maintain sporting reserves at Horsham’s Dudley Cornell Park.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

GWMWater has confirmed it is exploring opportunities in response to the request and will provide the trust with details about a pipeline connection. The corporation had also been working with Horsham Rural City Council regarding an ‘integrated water-cycle management solution’ that would involve bringing recycled water back into Horsham to irrigate public green areas. The Horsham council is also keen to improve water supply to areas of Horsham north, including Dudley Cornell Park, and has declared a willingness to be part of a collaborative effort with the trust and GWMWater. Mr Walter said ensuring greater security of supply represented a bonus for Horsham development. “When you look at the bigger picture for Horsham’s north the concept raises all sorts of opportunities for sporting and community reserves, Horsham Primary School’s Rasmussen Road campus and other options that might or might not have already emerged,” he said.

Gearing up for live shows BY DEAN LAWSON

Horsham Town Hall team is working feverishly for a return to regular program scheduling in expectation of major community demand for entertainment.

Town hall performance and events co-ordinator Shana Miatke said she had no doubt that Wimmera people, for so long limited in what they could experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, were hungry for live shows, performances and concerts. She said Horsham Town Hall, as a primary venue for the presentation of a broad range of performing arts embracing live music, comedy, children’s shows, dance and drama in the region, was busy priming itself for a significant return to action. “One of the greatest things people have missed in the past year is the opportunity to personally experience the world of music, drama and the various aspects of performing art and we must

be ready to meet demand,” Ms Miatke said. She said a breakthrough Traveling Wilburys dedication show at the town hall last week provided clear insight into how much people yearned for entertainment. “It went really well and with the reduced capacity as part of COVID-19 guidelines sold out,” she said. “It was a really great response considering tickets to the show were only on sale for two weeks. “The audience feedback was that it was great to see a powerhouse of Australian musicians back doing what they love after a year without performing in public.” Ms Miatke said artists from across the country were enthusiastically gearing up for a return to the stage, which meant audiences were in for a treat. “We’re expecting the standard of performances to be at an alltime high, filled with high levels of passion and intensity,” she said.

“As well as the great line-up of visiting acts we are planning, we have many community groups coming through with their performances. All the regular community performances have all rebooked for this year”

– Shana Miatke

Ms Miatke said continuing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic meant COVID-safe rules would be in place and updated accordingly depending on circumstances. “Due to COVID-19 we’ve needed to change our programming, advertising and ticket sales and will be driving memberships,” she said. “We’ll provide details on the changing details and booking procedures on Horsham Town Hall’s website next week. “We’re busy working on a pro-

gram schedule that we are sure will meet the varied interests of our patrons.” Horsham Town Hall, which includes a state-of-the-art performing-arts theatre, heritage hall and Horsham Regional Art Gallery, was a consistently busy hub of activity before the pandemic. The venue has regularly experienced sell-out shows since undergoing multi-million-dollar redevelopment. “After the show on Saturday night we had quite a lot of patrons asking what was coming up next and were already organising get-togethers with friends,” Ms Miatke said. “We’re sure they will enjoy what we have planned. “As well as the great line-up of visiting acts we are planning, we have many community groups coming through with their performances. “All the regular community performances have all rebooked for this year.”

Warracknabeal YFest cancelled A lack of volunteers to meet COVID-19 guidelines has forced organisers of Yarriambiack Shire’s annual Y-Fest Easter festival to cancel the event – for the time being. Event spokeswoman Jean Wise said the Warracknabeal-based event had insufficient numbers of people to manage requirements such as constant recording, cleaning and social-distancing enforcement. But Mrs Wise said while the overall event would not go ahead as planned, some individual events associated with the festival would continue as planned. “We will be promoting the remaining individual events through our website, www.yfest.com.au,” she said. Organisers have cancelled a long-running street parade, busking competition and Wheatlands Warracknabeal Vintage Machinery Rally, all traditionally part of the festival. But an art show and Warracknabeal horse racing and golf events are scheduled to continue and Wheatlands Agricultural Museum and Wheatlands Warehouse will be open during Easter. Mrs Wise said she was investigating the situation involving a community garden and market and event organisers would keep her updated of any changes in the near future.

Volunteer literacy support A volunteer literacy program aimed at providing students with foundational reading skills has made a return to Horsham Primary School. Volunteers were back at the Rasmussen Road campus this week after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the suspension of the ‘Reading Buddies’ program last year. Vice-principal Chris Kellett said the program was key to the school’s approach to providing literacy education for its students. “It’s fantastic to see the first Reading Buddies

rarat municipal leaders are confident diversity of shopping choices across the rural city will improve after the opening of retail store K hub.

Ararat Rural City mayor Jo Armstrong, who attended the opening last week, said the store’s large product range would provide more opportunities for people to shop in Ararat. “Investment from a major national retailer chain such as Kmart demonstrates the strength of our local economy,” she said. “It shows that businesses see Ararat as a regional centre for growth and are choosing to invest here with confidence. “Often regional areas are overlooked by large retail investment in favour of metropolitan sites. However, the new Ararat K hub is a signal of a prosperous community, we are growing, and our town is open for business.”

Cr Armstrong said the large retail investment would contribute to Ararat’s economy, which was thriving even after statewide COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. “Our sustainability is supported by an unemployment rate of 4.19 percent, a booming property market and a higher retail occupancy rate than a year ago,” she said. “The opening of a new K hub will only further strengthen this, providing new retail and employment opportunities for locals. “Ararat has a diverse mixed economy, which has proven to be extremely robust throughout the global pandemic.” Cr Armstrong said the K hub store would retain and upskill staff from an old Target Country store, allowing residents to continue seeing the familiar faces they had before as well as welcoming new staff.

Emergency road reconstruction An Ararat municipal leader has labelled road reconstruction works on two roads near the rural city as ‘vital’ for the region’s agricultural industry. Emergency reconstruction work is underway on Tatyoon North Road and Mt William Road near Ararat. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said reconstruction work was key because the roads were among the busiest in western Victoria for transporting grains over the harvest season. “It serves as the main route to Lakaput Bulk Storage Facility, taking heavy freight traffic carrying wheat, barley, canola and oats from across the Wimmera-southern Mallee,” he said.

Dr Harrison said the emergency works were a direct response to the failure of road pavements across a section of the road two weeks ago. “The council has taken immediate action to reconstruct this section of road due to its importance as one of the region’s primary product-tomarket routes,” he said. “The reconstruction of 400 metres of road will fix the existing pavement and protect against future failures.” Ararat council will spend $287,303 on the project. Council leaders expect it will take two weeks to complete the project that started on February 1.

Rail yard clean-up ‘might take years’ T

he owner of former rail-depot land north of Horsham Railway Station has confirmed that environmental work on the site ‘could continue for some years’.

VicTrack has been undertaking sampling and groundwater remediation works to investigate and clean up historical contamination in the precinct. VicTrack owns Victoria’s transport land, assets and infrastructure including the Horsham site, a landscape eyesore which municipal leaders have identified as having future potential as a passive-recreation area. VicTrack provided a statement from a ‘VicTrack spokesperson’ about the site through its media department. The spokesperson said any future uses of the land would be determined in conjunction with rail operator Australian Rail Track Corporation, ARTC, Horsham Rural City Council and other stakeholders. The majority of land at the Horsham station is within the ARTC lease and VicTrack leases other land to the council. A ‘small’ portion of the land is under direct VicTrack management. VicTrack has engaged environmental consultants to develop remediation action, clean-up and environmental-management plans to manage

contamination identified in the station precinct. It has also engaged an Environment Protection Authority-appointed environmental auditor to oversee and endorse the work. The spokesperson said VicTrack was undertaking all works in accordance with environmental regulations, and keeping the EPA informed. “Because of the former uses of the site, environmental work could continue for some years, and any future uses of the land would be subject to obtaining all necessary approvals for the intended use,” they said. The Horsham rail-depot land has historically been the site for fuel and other types of transport. Several private fuel-company depot sites are nearby in Mill Street. Much of the land at the site became obsolete for rail-freight transfer with the development of Wimmera Intermodal Freight Terminal at Dooen. Community leaders have long been concerned the area, in the heart of Horsham, presents an ugly vista for motorists travelling over Kalkee Road overpass and promotes unhealthy social stereotyping in the city. The area north of the overpass to Wawunna Road, was at one stage on a short list for consideration as the site for a proposed indoor sports stadium for Horsham.

Lama reflects on humble beginnings K

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ieran Lama, drummer of indie rock four-piece Spacey Jane, can tie his musical roots back to his childhood growing up in the Wimmera.

From humbling beginnings, Lama admitted he never expected his time in the Horsham College school band and jamming with friends would eventually set the wheels in motion to start playing at some of Australia’s most iconic music festivals. Spacey Jane is a Western Australian band that carved its way to the top of the music charts in 2020, with its song Booster Seat making it to number two on Triple Js Hottest 100 earlier this year. An additional three songs from the band’s latest album Sunlight earned a spot in the annual music countdown. But Lama’s music career started on the other side of the country. He said he could recall a time when he was jamming with friends to Metallica on his first drum kit in Horsham, long before he met his Western Australian bandmates. “I started playing drums when I was 12. Some of the earliest memories I have of playing drums is in the shed of the house we were living in on Searle Street, playing terribly,” he said. “A couple of my friends and I all started getting drum lessons through Nick Shirrefs – the music teacher at Horsham College.” Lama spent about four years growing up in Horsham before leaving at age 14. “It’s somewhere I haven’t managed to get back to in recent times, but I

ON THE WAY UP: From left, Spacey Jane bassist Peppa Lane, drummer Kieran Lama, lead guitarist Ashton Le Cornu and guitarist Caleb Harper. Picture: DANIEL HILDERBRAND really want to,” he said. “It’s crazy to think about the sort of imprint a place can leave on you through the people you interact with and the memories you can create – it’s very nostalgic to look back on.” Lama moved to Western Australian town Geraldton in 2012, which is where he would eventually spark a friendship that would become the foundation of Spacey Jane. He met guitarist Caleb Harper in high school, where the pair played gigs at school socials.

“Caleb moved to Perth for university in 2014 and the following year I followed to go to uni,” Lama said. On moving to university, Lama met lead guitarist Ashton Le Cornu and later former bassist Amelia Murray – now replaced by Peppa Lane. “We just sort of went for it and had a jam to see what would happen,” Lama said. “It was pretty low pressure – we just wanted to have fun and play gigs and we never thought it would amount to anything.”

Lama said the band’s climb to success came out of a continual push to play live shows across the country before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. “I feel like there is four years behind us of relative obscurity – between 2016 and 2019 we toured nationally to crowds of 20 people,” he said. “It was a long race to where we are now. It’s really satisfying, and it feels like all the hard work has paid off.” Lama said pivotal moments for the band were in 2019 when it played at one of Australia’s largest festivals,

Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay, and later Big Sound in Brisbane. “It’s been this ridiculously upward trajectory since then. Things haven’t really had a chance to slow down,” he said. “Splendour feels very much like a launch pad for a lot of artists. “It feels like you can do anything in the weeks following that – we were just riding a high for a while there.” The band plans to play to sold out shows across the country for a belated album tour following the launch of its new full-length album released in June last year. Lama said traction from the hottest 100 contributed to tickets to some of the shows selling out in less than 24 hours. “The live show sales are popping off, it feels like a huge deal for us and it’s only just sinking in as to how important it could be in the long term,” he said. “We’re pretty stoked. And touch wood the COVID pandemic is under control by the end of the year – we’d love to be playing as often as possible after what has been a big break on things.” Lama said although the band was preparing for a ‘jam packed’ 2021, he did not rule out the possibility of playing a show in the Wimmera in the future. “Never say never – we play regional shows all the time,” he said. “We were pretty stoked to play a show in Geraldton, which was a nice homecoming for Caleb and myself. I’m sure the same would apply to Horsham.”

Make super work

Sci App. Sci (Chiropractic), DACCP Dr. Pauline Walsh B.B. Clinc

Welcome to 2021, hope it’s a great year for you

Your nervous system is a bit like your data bases on the security system on the computer. It gets out of date (ie doesn’t function as well as it should and this creates subluxations). These subluxations (misalignments of the vertebrae) can result in back pain, neck pain leg pain etc. It needs to be checked and adjusted so everything can run smoothly again. So, no matter if you’re harvesting, sitting at a desk or playing sport, you want to be able to do that with ease and pain-free. Chiropractic is designed to help you get there.

The average 25-year-old has about $10,000 in super, but the decisions they make now, even with relatively small sums of money, could earn them hundreds of thousands of extra dollars over their working life.

uperannuation is for the oldies, right? In some ways that’s true, but even in your twenties there are good reasons to take a bit more interest in your super.

Are you getting any?

No matter what your health goals are this year we are here to help you achieve them. The practice is now open again Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Earn more than $450 in any given month? Then every three months your employer should be paying 9.5 percent of that into your super fund. Usually you can choose your fund; if you do not, it gets paid into a super fund of your employer’s choice. If you are unsure if your super is being paid, or the fund it’s being paid into, ask your employer. If you think you’re missing out, search ‘unpaid super’ on the tax office website ato.gov.au to see what you can do. This is your money.

Had more than one job? If you have a lot of little super accounts the money can disappear in a puff of fees and insurance premiums. Simple fix – combine your super into one account.

Is it working for you?

Your money is going to be stuck in super for a long time, so you want it to be working hard for you. Most funds offer a range of investment choices and some will do better than others.

What do you want?

Buying a new car, travelling, having fun. Let’s face it, there are lots more exciting things to do with your money than sticking it into super. The choice is yours but think about this: • If mum and dad retired this year, they would need a minimum of about $61,909 each year to enjoy themselves. If that does not sound

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth like much now, by the time you retire, inflation could have pushed that annual amount to about $214,248. That means you will need to have at least $3.71-million in savings. Sure you have got 40-plus years, but that’s still a lot of money to save up. It can be done if you start early enough – and you don’t need to miss out on enjoying life now. • Starting early and adding a bit extra when you can makes a big difference. Let’s work on another 40 years before you can retire. If you start now by making an extra post-tax contribution of just one percent of your annual income to super – $350 from a $35,000 salary – and the government could add to that with a co-contribution – at an eight percent investment return could add an extra $149,000 to your retirement fund. If you wait 20 years before starting to make that extra contribution, you’ll only get a boost of $49,000, that’s $100,000 less. Continuing this small extra contribution as your salary increases will turbo-boost your super fund balance. Imagine your retirement party! So, still find super boring? That’s okay, you are not alone. But instead of finding the time to organise all this yourself, contact a licensed financial adviser who will review your current super, any insurance required, the investment choices and prepare a strategy to get your super into shape – then you can get back to enjoying life. • The information provided in this column is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

Residents in Yarriambiack Shire have an opportunity to help plan future development of their towns as part of the council’s strategic planning in 2021. Councillors and council staff will visit each town to discuss future needs with the community, including areas such as roads and infrastructure, sport and recreation, economic development and tourism and family and health services. Chief executive Jessie Holmes said community consultation sessions would help form a major council plan for 2021-2024, which included a community vision for the next 10 years, a fouryear strategic plan, a 10-year financial management plan and an asset management plan. “Traditionally four separate documents, the new-look council plan will incorporate all of this information into one document, making it easier for the community and council to monitor performance and be accountable for service delivery,” she said. Ms Holmes said the council was inviting all

residents across the shire to attend a community engagement session in their town as part of the first phase of an extensive process in developing the plans. “These forums will assist council in making informed decisions about the next 10 years for each of our communities. It is important to us that we engage with all members of the community during this process,” she said. The council has also developed a survey to obtain additional information, which is available on the council’s website, www.yarriambiack. vic.gov.au. A copy of the survey, as well as a flyer detailing the community sessions, has been distributed via Australia Post. The community engagement sessions will run during February and March across the shire. People can call community development and wellbeing director Gavin Blinman on 5398 0131 or email gblinman@yarriambiack.vic.gov. au with further inquiries.

New partnership to support coaches

immera Regional Sports Assembly has partnered a mental-health training program to help football and netball coaches increase understanding of mental health.

The assembly is collaborating with Tackle Your Feelings program to foster an environment where athletes are supported in managing emotions. Tackle Your Feelings is a joint venture between AFL Coaches Association, AFL Players Association and Zurich Foundation. Wimmera football and netball coaches will participate in a mental-health training session presented by psychologists in a face-to-face environment before undertaking further online learning. AFL Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron is program ambassador. Wimmera assembly Tackle Your Feelings co-ordinator Nic Baird said he was excited to see the program roll out in the Wimmera. “The Tackle Your Feelings program has come at the right time for our area. After a season with no football or netball and some big changes to these sports and the world, this program will be very beneficial to all clubs to take part in to help

identify anyone who might be struggling more than usual,” he said. “We are aiming to get all the coaches from the juniors through to seniors to participate, as well as football and netball club boards. “This will help spread the load across the club and give a greater insight for all involved with the day-to-day running of a club and of any given person’s mental health, whether they are a player or volunteer.” The program launched in 2019 with 238 coaches from five states taking part. AFL Coaches Association chief executive Mark Brayshaw said it was important coaches at a grassroots level understood mental health and became better equipped to support their playing group. “From a mental-health perspective, there is no difference between the player-coach relationships at the elite level than there is at grassroots level,” he said. “The Tackle Your Feelings program will help grassroots AFL coaches by equipping them with an understanding of mental health so they can look after their players if and when they need it.” Football-netball clubs can take part in the program by calling Mr Baird on 5382 4599.

Positive start for young leaders Horsham Primary School student leaders remain confident of a positive 2021 following tough learning conditions last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. School captains Adele Joseph and Jasper Christian will lead their peers, alongside vice-captains Pippa McDonald and Henry Walsgott. Charlotte Elbourne and Duncan Fraser will join the leadership team, taking on the role of vice-captains at the school’s Rasmussen campus. Jasper said he was confident to lead his school. “I decided to step up for this role because I

think I will be a great leader. I feel like having this role of school captain will make me more confident and willing to try new things and to put myself out there,” he said. Duncan said he was excited to take on his first leadership position. “I feel I will be a good leader. This is completely new to me, something I’ve never tried before,” he said. “I also hope that it will be a good year and we won’t have to do any lockdowns.”

Kealy: Business grants ‘missing’ M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has joined an Opposition chorus criticising the State Government in its handling of COVID-19 grant allocations.

Ms Kealy said many small businesses were still yet to receive ‘desperately needed’ COVID-19 grant support. She said analysis presented to Victoria’s Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee revealed a lack of accountability or transparency with 14 of the 20 business-support programs the government established as part of the state’s COVID recovery. She said of the six packages the government had reported on, three had distributed 12 percent or less of their total funds at December 4 last year. “This is an enormous letdown for thousands of businesses,” she said. “These grants are an urgently needed lifeline for some struggling small businesses, but Premier Daniel Andrews is sitting on this money. “These businesses are the backbone of our country communities and need to be supported in a timely and fair way. But too many of them have been forced to wait months for support or have been left out entirely.” Ms Kealy said several businesses that had tried, unsuccessfully, to access grant money they should be eligible for, or whose applications ‘had been sitting idle in government systems for more than four months in some cases’, had been in touch with her. “The government must immediately aim

to broaden its eligibility criteria for business-support grants,” she said. “Daniel Andrews also needs to consult with the tourism and hospitality sector to determine the best ways to distribute the vast sums of unallocated budget support, for those businesses that will continue to be affected by COVID-19 restrictions into 2021. “The Liberal-Nationals are calling on the government to present to State Parliament a final summary of funds expended and detailed statistics of businesses supported for all 20 programs it announced.” Ms Kealy said the analysis to Victoria’s Parliamentary Accounts and Estimates Committee showed: • Of the 20 business-support programs presented by the government, 14 of them were unable to provide any details of their efficacy or how much money was given to support businesses. • Of the six packages reported on by the government, less than half the promoted value of the package was distributed by December 4, 2020 – six months past the introduction of restrictions and forced business closures. Half of the six packages had distributed 12 percent or less of the value of the packages. • Only 4000 of the approximately 400,000 sole traders in Victoria were eligible for support, and only $12-million of the government’s $100-million for sole traders was allocated by December 4. • The hospitality industry suffered the longest and most severe lockdown restrictions imposed by the government, but less than 50 percent of the specialised support available was distributed by December 4.

UPSKILL: Face-to-face learning for school-age VET students has resumed at Federation University’s Wimmera campus in Horsham, with COVID-safe measures in place. Picture: ROBYN DUNN

Secondary students opt for TAFE A surge in students undertaking Vocational Education and Training studies at Federation University’s Wimmera campus has increased tertiary leaders’ confidence of meeting workplace demand in 2021 and beyond. The Horsham campus welcomed more than 90 Vocational Education and Training Delivered to Secondary Students, VETDSS, from across the Wimmera and southern Mallee. Students from Warracknabeal, Murtoa, Dimboola, Nhill, Rainbow, Hopetoun, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat and Horsham Special School returned to faceto-face learning after COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in remote

and flexible learning arrangements last year. Wimmera campus head Geoff Lord said students would be provided with a pathway into the $3.6-billion Wimmera-Mallee economy in industries such as agribusiness, energy, health and other trades and services. “Local teachers are delivering salon assistant, health, automotive, electrotechnology and building and construction courses,” he said. “Students can expect to put their training into action engaging in the thriving WimmeraMallee economy, which, from experience, often sees members of the VETDSS cohort gain employment before they graduate.

“Federation University is pleased to see the facilities at our Wimmera campus being used to meet workforce demands of local businesses.” TAFE chief executive Liam Sloan said students would use the TAFE’s first-class training facilities under the guidance of its specialist teachers – many of them from the Wimmera – in trades and professions. “At Federation TAFE we are committed to growing student numbers and course offerings in Horsham to meet demands of local people and businesses. VETDSS is crucial in that process,” he said.

Information at iconic waterfall

isitors to iconic MacKenzie Falls in the Grampians will have a reminder about a need for safety around the tourist attraction with a trial information ‘pop-up’ amenity later this year.

MacKenzie Falls attracts about 340,000 visits each year, which has prompted Parks Victoria to trial a dedicated tourist-information structure. While providing countless happy memories for generations of people, the site has also been the scene of tragic accidents and drownings. The idea involves a ‘small, mobile structure’ with information focusing on making visitors aware of the steepness of the track to and from the falls, that swimming at the base of the falls is banned, and other general park information such as the natural and cultural values of the area, park navigation and alternative nearby attractions. The service would also provide information back to Parks Victoria and, if required, emergency services, and help maintain the area. To meet the needs of visitors, Parks Victoria might also provide water, other drinks and some light food from the pop-up amenity. The trial program follows a $7.76-million State

Government budget investment to improve visitor experiences at MacKenzie Falls and encourage visitor dispersal. Other improvements will include upgraded visitor spaces, an expansion and upgrade of a car park, a new one-way walking loop to provide access for people of all abilities to the falls, and new tracks to connect to Grampians Peaks Trail and other nearby campgrounds. A draft Greater Gariwerd Landscape Management Plan also outlines proposed plans to address visitor management in the ‘central corridor’ of the national park, which includes MacKenzie Falls. These strategies include addressing overcrowding through new site design, visitor dispersal and traffic control. Suitably qualified people can provide expressions of interest to operate the 12-month trial information site at website www.parks.vic.gov. au/get-into-nature/expressions-of-interest until February 28. Chief ranger Rhonda McNeil said Parks Victoria was committed to making everyone’s visit as safe and enjoyable as possible. “This trial will explore the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering visitor information in a new way,” she said.

STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS Have your say Wimmera Health Care Group (WHCG) and Ballarat Health Services (BHS) are exploring partnership options, including a possible voluntary amalgamation, to enhance the delivery of services and create better health outcomes for local people across the Wimmera region. Community consultation is underway. Together, we are looking at ways to further enhance the partnerships between our regional health services to provide safe and accessible care closer to home. Benefits of the project include: better health outcomes for people across the region; greater access to clinical health care locally; strengthened capacity and expansion of services; greater workforce opportunities, training and development; enhanced models of care and effective health services for the future. An assessment is being undertaken in relation to workforce, financial, service delivery and governance impacts of any partnership. Each Board will then make a decision in relation to their individual health service. Any partnership options being explored would focus on enhancing service delivery. There would be no loss of services. Wimmera residents experience higher levels of chronic illness and ill health compared to the rest of rural and metropolitan Victoria. The Wimmera population is ageing and will need greater access to health care. Currently, Horsham residents travel outside of the region for approximately 2,200 episodes of care each year, 450 more than 5 years ago. For the Wimmera region, almost 4,000 episodes of care happen outside the region each year. If Wimmera residents could have the same proportion of their hospital care delivered within the region as happens in other nearby regions, 1,300 fewer patients would have to travel to get the healthcare they need (4 per day).* However, attracting and retaining health care professionals is becoming increasingly difficult, with gaps in a few critical clinical areas. *Source: Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset 2018-19

Day resonates with C

BY DYLAN DE JONG

o-ordinators of a charity motorcycle tour from Ararat in remembrance of fallen police officers are confident support for the event will continue to grow after a successful ride at the weekend.

ALL SMILES: From left, Jessica Missen, Maria Mondini and Ross Missen join the gathering.

More than 550 motorcycle enthusiasts from across Victoria and South Australia gathered at Ararat early on Sunday morning for the Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch 13th annual Ride to Remember. Riders ventured out on a four-hour route through Moyston, Pomonal, Halls Gap, Willaura, Dunkeld and Maroona townships before heading back to Alexandra Gardens in the rural city. Ride co-ordinator Dianne Radford said increasing volunteer numbers and high participation during the COVID-19 pandemic confirmed how important the event was for Victorians and members of the police force.

“Ararat branch of Blue Ribbon took on this ride with new restrictions in place and got it over the line. We hope our efforts can help set an example and give community groups the confidence to plan events to show people they can do it” – Dianne Radford

“The actual ride has grown considerably since our 10th anniversary three years ago,” she said. “The event is going from strength to strength. “There was a huge contingent of current police and retired police officers taking part in the ride, which shows that this ride has become quite significant for the community. “We have a huge amount of community support and you can’t do these events without these volunteers who we rely on heavily.”

Mrs Radford said the ride’s importance was amplified after several police officers died in the past year, including four officers who were hit by a truck on the Eastern Freeway in April. “We lost local police officers from the region last year as well,” she said. “I think with those tragedies top of mind, that brought more police out who wanted to support the event this year. “To support our Victoria Police members for the ride is the most important aspect for the Ararat branch – to perpetuate the memories of all police killed in the line of duty.” Mrs Radford estimated the event helped raise more than $20,000. The Ararat branch plans to donate all proceeds to help East Grampians Health Service purchase an x-ray machine for the ‘John McNally’ Medical Imaging Department.

many Mrs Radford said the event had the added benefit of injecting money back into the region’s economy. “All accommodation was booked out, people were stopping in at petrol stations, buying food from local cafês and supermarkets,” she said. “The economy would have had a massive boost over the weekend.” Mrs Radford said the council worked closely with event organisers to ensure COVID protocols were in place to allow the event to proceed safely. She encouraged all community groups to proceed with planning events this year, highlighting the socio-economic benefits to the region. “Ararat branch of Blue Ribbon took on this ride with new restrictions in place and got it over the line,” she said. “We hope our efforts can help set an example and give community groups the confidence to plan events to show people they can do it.”

Strong start

ollowing a year in which the Australian new-car market recorded its lowest annual sales tally since 2003, the first month of 2021 has shown some positive signs with an 11.1 percent sales lift in January compared with the same month last year.

Continuing the momentum showed in November and December, January saw 79,666 vehicles sold across the country compared with 71,731 over the same period in 2020, with every state and territory posting sales increases. The growth was attributed in part to increased demand from private buyers to the tune of 25.4 percent, with business, government and rental sales all taking a dip. Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said the January result, along with the

increase in December and November, led to a sense of optimism about the market. “During the past three months sales had increased by 12.4 percent compared with the corresponding period 12 months earlier,” he said. “The January sales numbers are indicative of positive consumer confidence in the domestic economy. “With attractive interest rates and a range of other economic indicators encouraging consumption, we hope to see this trend in new vehicle purchasing continue through 2021.” As mentioned, every state and territory saw a year-on-year sales increase, led by the Northern Territory, up 38.7 percent and Western Australia, 24.9 percent, while Queensland, 18.1 percent and South Australia, 17 percent also saw strong improvements. While the new year brought about some changes, one thing remained

decidedly the same – Toyota’s dominance of the Australian market, with 16,819 total vehicles sold in January, marking a 21.1 percent overall market share. Also unsurprisingly, the best-selling vehicle for the month was Toyota’s HiLux, with 3913 total sales representing a 31.8 percent year-on-year increase, and continuing on from where it left off last year when it chalked up five consecutive years of sales dominance. Other strong performers for Toyota included the RAV4 medium SUV in third with 3306 units, the Landcruiser 70-200 Series in fourth with 2388 units and the Corolla small car, which sold 2062 new examples to finish sixth. Second place belonged to Mazda on 8508 units with a 10.7 percent share, up from the 6695 it managed in January 2020.

The Isuzu Ute D-Max increased its January sales by 167.9 percent on 2020

Mazda was represented in the top 10 by the ever-popular CX-5 medium SUV, which placed fifth overall with 2081 units. Hyundai finished third with 5951 units, helped by the i30 small car with 1952 units, good enough for seventh overall. Kia, with 5500 units, and Mitsubishi, 5179 units, finished fourth and fifth respectively, with the only model between the two marques to find its way in the top 10 being Mitsubishi’s Triton pick-up in eighth with 1908 units. Ford took sixth place with 5099 units, with the Ranger pick-up doing the heavy lifting as usual, bested only by the HiLux with 3120 units, up 18.9 percent. Next up was Nissan in seventh, 3756 units, and Subaru in eighth, 3223, the former helped by the X-Trail medium SUV which finished the month in

tenth place on 1593 units. The top 10 was rounded out by Volkswagen, 2722, and Mercedes-Benz Cars, 2443, which proved to be the most popular of the premium brands. Isuzu Ute narrowly missed out on a top 10 finish with 2363 total sales, however its D-Max pick-up tried its hardest to drag it over the line with 1822 sales for ninth place, an increase of 167.9 percent. Benz bested traditional rivals BMW, 1701 units, and Audi, 1455, with Mercedes sales for the month up 31.5 percent compared with the same point in 2020. Strong performers to start the year included MG, 2408 units, and GWM, 769, the latter on the back of the arrival of the all-new ute pick-up. – Robbie Wallis

Kona ‘significantly updated’

yundai Motor Company Australia’s updated Kona compact SUV has arrived Down Under brandishing an all-new look, all-new powertrains, new variants and a new opening pricetag of $26,600 plus on-road costs.

Now $2300 more expensive than before, the base-model Kona, along with the Active, $28,200, Elite, $31,600, and Highlander, $38,000, are all now powered by an Atkinson-cycle 2.0-litre petrol engine developing the same 110kW of power and 180Nm of torque as the previous model, however fuel consumption has been slashed by a claimed 14 percent to 6.2 litres per 100 kilometres combined. A good portion of this improved economy figure can be chalked up to the new continuously variable transmission, CVT, which replaces the outgoing model’s six-speed torque converter automatic, but still sends power to the front wheels. Those chasing an all-wheel-drive configuration for their Kona will now have to step up to the – new – performance-minded N-Lines, both of which are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine good for 146kW-265Nm, which drives allfour wheels via a seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission. As with other N-Lines in HMCA’s portfolio, the Kona N-Line, $36,300, and N-Line Premium, $42,400, ride on a sportier multi-link rear suspension set-up than the rest of the range and brandish more aggressive styling all-round courtesy of bigger 18-inch

IT’S HERE: Hyundai adds size, power and efficiency to new facelifted Kona compact SUV.

alloy wheels, lower ride height, NLine-specific bumpers and side skirts as well as gloss-black mirror caps. The regular versions have been made to look more aggressive and ‘sophisticated’ in their own right, with a completely new front fascia headlined by the redesigned – wider and thinner – grille and headlight design. Adding to the new look is a fresh range of alloy wheel designs and a tweaked rear bumper featuring an imitation skid-plate. What’s more, the whole package has grown by 40mm in length, resulting in improved legroom and rear cargo space, however exactly how much extra room is yet to be confirmed. In keeping with the higher asking price, HMCA says every variant has been treated to more standard equipment than before, with the base

Kona now featuring an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, 4.2-inch TFT colour supervision cluster, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function, Qi wireless smartphone charging, electronic park brake, 16-inch alloy wheels, ‘quiet mode’, rear USB charging port, passenger seat height adjustment and driver’s one touch auto up-down window. Carried over features consist of automatic headlights, rearview camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, power windows and roof rails. Safety has been stepped up, with forward collision-avoidance assist, lane following assist and rear occupant alert joining the existing six airbags, driver attention warning, electronic stability control, downhill brake control and hill-start assist control.

Things are predictably stepped up throughout the range, with the Active adding 17-inch alloys, rear park assist, heated exterior mirrors, leather-appointed seats and steering wheel, rear privacy glass, front seat back pockets, solar control glass, rear centre armrest, leather gear knob and power folding exterior mirrors. The Elite goes one step further with a bigger 10.25-inch infotainment system paired to an eight-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, blind-spot collision-avoid assist, front foglights, rear cross-traffic alert, keyless entry and start, gloss black radiator grille, collision-avoidance assist, remote start, grey exterior cladding, safe exit warning, climate control, tailgate and side garnish insert and rain sensing wipers. As usual the Highlander is the most

generously specced offering. Compared with the Elite, the non-sporting range-topper adds 18-inch alloys shod with premium Continental tyres, 10.25-inch instrument digital cluster, head-up display, front park assist system, power adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, LED headlights, front indicators and tail-lights, sunroof, heated rear outboard seats, high beam assist, heated steering wheel and an electrochromatic interior mirror. Also using the Elite as its basis, the N-Line comes with the aforementioned performance-oriented underpinnings and more power as well as other sporting paraphernalia including Continental rubber, sports front seats, red stitching, red interior accents and alloy pedals. The N-Line Premium, meanwhile, aligns more closely with the Highlander, blending many of the luxury offering’s features with the sporting theme of the N-Line. Standard kit here over the regular N-Line includes the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, head-up display, power adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats and steering wheel, electrochromatic interior mirror, ambient lighting, front park assist system, LED headlights, front indicators and taillights, high beam assist and sunroof. HMCA sold 64,807 new cars nationally last year, 12,514 of which were Konas, making it the company’s third best-selling model. – Callum Hunter

Lexus continues EV teaser campaign L exus has continued the teaser campaign for its as-yet-unnamed electric concept vehicle, which will foreshadow the first standalone EV model from the Japanese luxury brand. Due for a reveal sometime in the autumn, the mystery concept car will be followed by the production version, which will be uncovered later in the year. While little is known about the forthcoming concept, a series of darkened teaser images provides some hints as

to its design, with an overall shape that suggests a sedan or coupe and styling elements consistent with Lexus’ current design language. Lexus International president Koji Sato said the new concept would embody the future direction for the brand. “This year, Lexus will take a new step forward in aiming to make the diversified lifestyles of our customers more rewarding,” he said. “This spring – US time – we will unveil our new brand vision, along with a new concept, which illustrates our

intentions for the future and marking the beginning of the next generation of Lexus. “Furthermore, we will launch the first model under our new vision within this year, and we will continue to introduce new models next year and beyond.” To go with the EV teaser, Lexus Australia also announced it had sold its 30,000th hybrid vehicle in 2020, having first offered the electrified powertrain technology on its RX large SUV back in 2006. – Robbie Wallis

Mercedes-Benz Vans updates Vito

ercedes-Benz Vans Australia has unveiled its facelifted Vito range that ushers in enhanced levels of standard equipment, more safety features and a refined interior design as well as few revisions to the line-up.

FACELIFT: Mercedes-Benz Vans gives Vito LCV an update for 20201 it the previously optional blind spot assist and lane keeping assist systems. Flagship 119 CDI variants – both panel van and crew cab – also score Distronic – adaptive cruise control with stop and go – as standard. No mechanical changes have been

made to the Vito range, with the same familiar line-up of engines all returning apart from the 114 version of the OM651 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel mill, which has been dropped in the name of complexity. As such, the range is still opened by

the 1.6-litre OM622 engine in the 111 CDI variant with Mercedes saying the axing of the 114 CDI now hands the volume-selling duties to the 116 CDI variants. The flagship engine then remains the 119 CDI, which develops 140kW-440Nm.

Now starting from $42,900 plus onroad costs, the entry price for the Vito range has risen by almost $4000, largely setting the trend for the rest of the line-up, with the biggest price jump being $5580. On the style front, the major talking points are the redesigned radiator grille and tweaked interior with the latter boasting new cloth upholstery, new turbine-style air vents and, on all variants besides the entry-level 111 CDI, a new piano-lacquer look frame for the centre of the dashboard. Leading the charge for the technology upgrades is the new ‘Audio 30’ infotainment system accessed via a 7.0-inch touchscreen featuring both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Bluetooth connectivity. Also displayed on the screen are images from the updated reversing camera, while a digital rearview mirror can also be optioned in place of the traditional one. In terms of safety, active brake assist has been added as standard to all variants across the range, bringing with

All Vitos apart from the two 111 CDI variants send their power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the base model uses a six-speed manual to drive the front wheels. Mercedes-Benz Vans managing director Diane Tarr said the Vito was ‘a genuine trade specialist and fleet allrounder for a wide range of different customers’. “Its versatility is what sets it apart from its rivals,” she said. “In Australia, examples of its use include an RACV home and roadside assist vehicle, an Australia Post delivery van, an Optus technical service vehicle and as a trusted tool for many smaller business operations like florists or even mobile fitness instructors. “The newly designed radiator grille now makes it an even more attractive representation, and with more standard safety, new assistance systems and an upgraded infotainment offering, it will continue to meet the demands of our customers.” Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia and New Zealand sold 39 examples of the outgoing Vito last month, three less than it managed in January last year and accounting for 2.2 percent of the mid-sized van segment. – Callum Hunter

Purpose with Passion

People who are passionate about something never stop at making it better. If you’re passionate about something you will naturally think up creative ideas to execute the end goal. I love the quote from Apple Founder, Steve Jobs, “You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you’re not passionate enough from the start, you’ll never stick it out.” Just as Steve Jobs was passionate to build better computers for the world, the same passion can be used to make anything excellent. It goes hand in hand with stickability. Having passion will keep you exploring new ideas to make things better. Passion will also help you grow as a leader; from team building, to cooking, to farming, passion can turn good ideas into great ideas! Even when hard times set in, passion will motivate you not to quit but persist and stay focussed. When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb he simply stated, “I have not failed, I have successfully found 10,000 ways it won’t work”. If you are in the doldrums, feeling frustrated, let me encourage you, do not give up, re-energise your passion and try again. Ask God to help you; ask Him if you are on the right road and listen for His still small voice in your heart. He may say, try something new, or leave this project and I will show you another one or He may say, there is another way to succeed, I will show you how to do it better. Irene Gould, Pastor Stawell Baptist Church

Tournament success BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera junior tennis players will compete in a second points tournament in Stawell later this month following a high-quality competition at Horsham Lawn Tennis Club on Sunday.

More than 100 players descended on the city’s lawn courts for the first of two Wimmera Regional Tennis junior events, as part of the sport’s resurgence from COVID-19-related disruptions. Club vice-president and tournament co-ordinator Brett Thompson said the event was a success. “We finished up with 105 kids in the end,” he said. “It was a very cold start, but it turned out to be beautiful sunny day.” Boys and girls competed in four age groups, 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under and 15 and over. Doubles were played in a round-robin format, with knock-out singles competitions. “The standard of tennis was very strong – especially in the lower age groups,” Mr Thompson said. “It was a long day with some kids playing up to eight sets of tennis, but they all enjoyed it.” Participants hailed from Warrnambool, Hamilton, Edenhope, Stawell, Dunmunkle and Horsham. Junior points tournaments link the Wimmera into Tennis Victoria’s statewide player development pathway and help with selection of regional teams. Players can still sign up for the next tournament, at Stawell Tennis Club on February 21. People can enter via a link on the Wimmera Regional Tennis Facebook

FOCUS: Junior tennis players, Misha Wear, above, Brayden Webb, top right, and Tahlia Thompson, right, show determination during Sunday’s Wimmera Regional Tennis points tournament at Horsham Lawn Tennis Club.

Stawell Toyota has ‘one hand on the premiership cup’ Unseasonably cool temperatures greeted players in round eight of the Stawell Tennis Club Bendigo Bank Friday Night Competition, however the action on court quickly heated up following an extended Christmas break. Stawell Toyota methodically dismantled its opponents, while cellar dweller Stawell Goldmine fell agonisingly short of pulling off a major boilover.

Carey Covers can be thankful for jumping out of the blocks quickly in its battle with Stawell Goldmine, with the latter coming home hard, only to fall three games short of a surprise victory. Some crafty tennis from Carey Covers’ Stevie Johnston and Mick Sullivan set the tone early for the winners, however the likes of Jack Stevens, Molly Orr and Elise Monaghan willed their Stawell Goldmine team-mates

off the canvas and back into the contest. With mother nature threatening and just one set still in progress, the match hung in the balance, but a Theo Browne-led come-from-behind 9-7 victory secured the Carey Covers triumph, with the final score line reading 12-148 to 12-145. Carey Covers had narrowly avoided a bullet, while Stawell Goldmine was left to rue another missed opportunity. Stawell Toyota made light work of

O’Jones Mitre 10, comfortably accounting for its less-fancied rival 14153 to 10-128. Stawell Toyota skippers Blair Hart and Jade Cross continue to leave their indelible marks on the competition, winning all their sets, as did hardhitting youngster Henry Clough. Jonah O’Shannessy provided valuable support, trading blows with Shane Field all night in an entertaining duel. O’Jones Mitre 10 was led by Leon

Monaghan, who toiled away manfully all evening, while Holly Graveson and Jordan Austin both tried their hearts out. A finals spot for Mitre 10 seems to be slipping away further and further each week, while Stawell Toyota already has one hand on the premiership cup. Ladder: Stawell Toyota 142 points, Carey Covers 117, O’Jones Mitre 10 98, Stawell Goldmine 91.

Creek hope for Olympics Redbacks H

orsham’s Mitch Creek is part of a superstar Australian basketball squad set to take on the world’s best at the Tokyo Olympic Games later this year.

The Melbourne Phoenix star talent will rub shoulders in the green and gold with the likes of Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, Joe Ingles, Matthew Delavadova and Matisse Thybulle, all household names in America’s NBA competition. Basketball Australia has named a squad of 24 which it will ultimately reduce to 12. Brian Goorjian, who coaches The Hawks in Australia’s National Basketball League, is coaching the Boomers. Creek, 28, who at 196 centimetres, is considered at elite level a small forward or shooting guard, has had an expansive career in the game.

He started with Horsham Hornets in 2007, spent eight years with Adelaide 36ers, played in Germany with BG Gottingen and played with Long Island Nets, Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves before joining South East Melbourne Phoenix. He has previously represented Australia, first as an under-19 player in 2011, and then with the Boomers in the FIBA Asia Cup and 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Gourjian said the Australian squad was well balanced. “I have spoken to each player over the past fortnight and have been extremely impressed by their overwhelming desire to play for Australia in Tokyo,” he said. Australian squad: Deng Adel, NBL Hawks; Aron Baynes, NBA Toronto Raptors; Ryan Broekhoff, free agent; Xavier Cooks, NBL

Sydney Kings; Mitch Creek, NBL South East Melbourne Phoenix; Matthew Dellavedova, NBA Cleveland Cavaliers; Dante Exum, NBA Houston Rockets; Josh Giddey, NBL Adelaide 36ers; Chris Goulding, NBL Melbourne United; Josh Green, NBA Dallas Mavericks; Isaac Humphries, NBL Adelaide 36ers; Joe Ingles, NBA Utah Jazz; Nick Kay, Spain’s Real Betis; Jock Landale, NBL Melbourne United; Mitch McCarron, NBL, Melbourne United; Will McDowell-White, NBA G-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers; Will Magnay, NBA New Orleans Pelicans; Thon Maker, free agent; Patty Mills, NBA San Antonio Spurs; Brock Motum, Turkey’s Galatasaray; Mitch Norton, NBL Perth Wildcats; Duop Reath, Serbia’s Crvena Zvezda; Ben Simmons, NBA Philadelphia 76ers; Matisse Thybulle, NBA Philadelphia 76ers.

undefeated

Mitch Creek

Ararat Redbacks will travel to Colac on Saturday, fresh from their first home win of the 2020-21 Country Basketball League season. The Redbacks hosted Bellarine Storm at Ararat Fitness Centre at the weekend, putting on a show for the home crowd. Zac Dunmore continued his impressive run of form, dropping 27 points – including six six-pointers – in his side’s 35-point triumph, 120-85. Team-mate Ethan Fiegert, 17 points, also contributed another solid performance, with Cody Lindsay and Joshua Fiegert, 14, and William Hynes, 12, also finishing with double figures. All 12 players contributed to the total score. Nathan Gronbeck, 19, and Vincent Whelan, 17, were Bellarine’s top-scorers. The Redbacks remain undefeated in this season’s shortened south-west conference. After meeting the Kookas they will host Terang at home in the last round of the regular season.

One-sided affairs in pennant Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant teams will be hoping for closer contests this week following a round of one-sided affairs on Saturday. The most competitive match of round 14 is likely to be between third-placed Kalkee and ladder leader Drung South. The Kees were far too strong for bottom side Homers on Saturday, triumphing 12-96 to 0-41, while Drung South dropped only one set against Central Park, 11-92 to 1-34. Central Park knew it was in for a tough day on the court against its undefeated opponent, with an 8-4 doubles win by Ross McIntyre and Bayden Penrose the only shining light. Many might have expected a closer result between fourth-placed St Michaels and second-placed Horsham Lawn, but the latter proved superior. The Saints got off to a good start with a win to Peter Hayes and Nick Robertson, before Lawn chimed in to claim the next three sets. Hayes won again, this time with Chris Ellis, 8-2, but Lawn went on to dominate the rest of the afternoon to salute 10-88 to 2-54.

A SPECIAL: Kalkee’s Zac Dufty plays a shot against Telangatuk East. Hayden Farlow ruined Hayes’ chances of a clean sweep, getting the better of him in singles, 8-6. The Saints will be too strong for Homers at Haven on Saturday, with Horsham Lawn to continue to con-

solidate second place with a win over Central Park at home. – Sarah Matthews Ladder: Drung South 52 points, Horsham Lawn 34, Kalkee 32, St Michaels 22, Central Park 10, Homers 6.

RETURN: Telangatuk East’s Kate Byrne helps her side to a 13-111 to 1-53 triumph over Kalkee in A Special action on Saturday. Telangatuk East will meet Noradjuha this week in a battle of second versus third. Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER

Girls back in action

immera Girls Cricket League teams will turn their attention to Horsham on Sunday following opening-round action in Stawell at the weekend.

The competition welcomed a new team in round six, the first round of a second block of competition. Newcomer Murray Downs Diamonds, based at Swan Hill, acquitted itself well at Central Park but fell short of block-one

Horsham names squad

Saints back in the fold for 2021 Wimmera Football League club Horsham Saints has consolidated busy preparations for an approaching Wimmera Football League season by confirming the return of two star players. The Saints have welcomed back Mitch Martin from Glenelg in the SANFL and Joel Richards, East Warrnambool, as the club zeroes in on a chance for a return to community football. Coach David Johns said Richards loomed as walk-up rucking replacement for Michael Rowe, who has gone to Cairns, and talented Martin would provide important on-field leadership for a developing group. “Their return is fantastic news. Joel’s return is timely considering the departure of Michael and a year in the Wimmera league is likely to free up Mitch’s football a bit,” he said. “We have good numbers on the track and everyone has been enjoying a full return to training after missing all the social interaction and camaraderie. “There is good energy moving towards the season and fingers crossed it happens.” The Saints also have Nathan Byrne returning from Noradjuha-Quantong and confirmation Luke Hendy, Navarre, and Michael Richardson, Carngham-Linton, will be in the tri-colours this year. A notable absentee will be Sam Jasper who has shifted to Queensland’s Gold Coast.

Horsham will take on Warrnambool in an open inter-association clash at Horsham City Oval on February 21. A Horsham team will be keen to use the one-day match to rebuild its reputation after a humbling loss to arch rival Grampians earlier in the season. Selectors have announced a team captained by joint leaders Nathan Alexander from West Wimmera and NoradjuhaToolondo’s Matt Combe. The 13-man squad features a handful of changes from the Grampians encounter with the lion’s share of representatives now coming from the Homers club. Rupanyup-Minyip batsmen Jake Leith and Bailey Young and Homers’ Adam Atwood join the squad, while Noradjuha-Toolondo’s Justtin Combe, who top-scored in the Grampians game, and Jung Tigers captain Angus Adams, running second for the association’s Cec Hopper allrounder medal, are missing from the line-up. Horsham struggled with the bat and took only five wickets in a similar game against Grampians at Stawell’s Central Park in early December and will be looking for significant improvement next week. Horsham squad: Nathan Alexander, West Wimmera, c, Matt Combe, Noradjuha-Toolondo, c, Chaminda Gamage, Homers, Mohan Bandara, Homers, Adam Atwood, Homers, Craig Britten, Homers, Nathan Koenig, Homers, Jett Hopper, Homers, Tony Caccaviello, Noradjuha-Toolondo, Jake Leith, Rupanyup-Minyip, Jamie Byrne, Rupanyup-Minyip, Mitchell Dahlenburg, West Wimmera and Bailey Young, Rupanyup-Minyip.

Old rivalries resurface O

BY DEAN LAWSON

ld rivalries are set to resurface in Horsham Cricket Association this weekend when Homers and Jung Tigers clash across two big days of competition at Horsham City Oval.

The pair will initially meet in a return to 40-over-a-side games at 1pm on Saturday and then shape up again in a 6pm twilight T20 final the following day. Both contests are set to be a considerable scrap considering, apart from a T20 title up for grabs, the Tigers would be desperate for a Saturday victory to consolidate a hard-fought top-four position. The Tigers did enough under the city oval lights last week to secure a place in the T20 final despite a heavy loss to overall season leader Noradjuha-Toolondo. The Tigers grappled gamely with a willing Bullants batting list in bright sunshine, but struggled in changing light conditions when they came to bat. Matt Combe led the way with the willow for the winners with a well-struck 35 and Troy Dumesny, 25, as the Bullants set the Tigers an awkward chase of 126 to win. Slippery Tigers left-armer Joel Pymer, enjoying a purple patch with the ball, snared 4-25 to keep his team in the game. But the Tigers struggled to adapt to a combination of changing conditions and

high-quality bowling and were 9-76 at the game’s end, although with enough wickets and runs to secure a T20 finals berth. Noradjuha-Toolondo appears the team to beat in season-proper finals, which start in a few weeks. Homers, meanwhile, were too good for Rupanyup-Minyip in their T20 clash, making 5-114 and then having Rupanyup-Minyip 7-89. Paddy Mills top-scored for the winners with 40, Simon Hopper was unbeaten on 22 and Adam Atwood added to his 18 runs with 3-16. For the Blue Panthers, Blake Turner topscored with 29 not out and opener Jamie Byrne made 25. Rupanyup-Minyip needs a good win this weekend to tip the Tigers from the four and will get its chance against Horsham Saints at Coughlin Park. The Blue Panthers are a game outside the four but have superior percentage to the Tigers. Horsham Saints remain winless but are a long way from being pushovers and could have almost rolled West Wimmera last weekend had the cards fallen differently. The Saints made 6-133 from their 20 overs, Cory Smith clipping 31, Jason Harris 20 and several others getting into double figures, and then captured two early wickets. But a critical unbeaten 58 from Brad Al-

exander and a lusty 32 from Austin Smith and 26, Henry Smith, took the game to the wire and West Wimmera made the runs at the deathknock. West Wimmera remains vulnerable in third place and faces a ripper contest against Noradjuha-Toolondo at Nhill. This week: One-day games, 1pm, Homers v Jung Tigers at Horsham Sunnyside, West Wimmera v Noradjuha-Toolondo, Davis Park, Nhill; Horsham Saints v Rupanyup-Minyip at Coughlin Park, Horsham. Sunday will present a smorgasbord of cricket with A, B and C grade T20 finals following each other at Horsham City Oval. Laharum will play Lubeck-Murtoa in B Grade at 2pm and Quantong will take on Colts at 10am in C Grade. Last week: T20, West Wimmera 6-1377 (B. Alexander 58no, A. Smith 32, H. Smith 26) d Horsham Saints 6-133 (C. Smith 31), Homers 5-114 (P. Mills 40no) d Rupanyup-Minyip 7-89 (B. Turner 29no, J. Byrne 26; A. Atwood 3-16) Ladders: Overall, Noradjuha-Toolondo 48 points, 1.07 percent; Homers 45, 1.63; West Wimmera 36, 1.19; Jung Tigers 36, 0.95; Rupanyup-Minyip 30, 1.04; Horsham Saints 3, 0.44. T20, final, Homers 18, 1.95; Jung Tigers 18, 1,14; Noradjuha-Toolondo 18, 0.91; West Wimmera 12, 0.98; Rupanyup-Minyip 6, 0.91; Horsham Saints 0, 0.5.

Finals jostle in Grampians Results in Grampians Cricket Association wins came easily on Saturday with Buangor-Tatyoon defeating Youth Club and Swifts-Great Western overcoming St Andrews. The wins were easy because teams batting first could not manage to get to 100 runs in the 40-over-a-side games, leaving easy chases. Youth Club posted 94 against the Hawks, who replied with 3-98 in 24 of the allotted overs. Trent Homden topped the scoring for the Clubbers with 39, while the major wicket-taker for the Hawks was Shaun Allen with 3-24. Allen also scored 26 not out to complete a good double. St Andrews similarly managed only 9-93 against the Combine, which Swifts-Great Western ran down in 23 overs. Ryan Skiller topped the Saints’ batting with 26 not out, while the best of the Combine’s bowlers was Matt Heffer, 3-19. After the early loss of opener Sam Cocks, Tom Eckel, 44, and Ricky Peters, 47, both unbeaten, cruised past the total. There will be a few questions answered in Saturday’s penultimate round when Buangor-Tatyoon hosts SwiftsGreat Western at Tatyoon and Pomonal plays St Andrews at Stawell’s Central Park. The clash between the Hawks and Combine will determine top spot and Pomonal is playing the Saints for a spot in the four. The Tatyoon pitch this season has been the most bowler-friendly in the association, so do not expect this match to be a high-scoring affair. Both the Hawks and the Combine have skilled bowlers, the Hawks with Zander McDougall, Michael Harricks and Shaun Allen will hone in on Sam Cocks, Tom Eckel and Ricky Peters. The Combine’s bowlers, led by Matt Heffer, Jay Moody and Chad Gilmour, will make it tough for Hawks run-getters Jarrod Blandford, Sam and Tyler Cronin and Jacob Bates. This match could go either way. Either Pomonal or St Andrews will consolidate its position in the four. Pomonal will be hoping Clayton Mackley, Matt Peel, Lynden Brewis and Lachy Green continue with the batting form that saw them topple the Combine. The Saints have talent in Adam Haslett, Ned Bohner and Sam Summers to put Tigers bowlers Pat Frawley, Matt Dalkin and Green to the test. The result will not surprise. This week: Bunagor-Tatyoon v Swifts-Great Western at Tatyoon, Pomonal v St Andrews at Central Park, Stawell. Last week: Swifts-Great Western 1-96 (R. Peters 47no, T. Eckel 44no) d St Andrews 9-93 (R. Skiller 26no; M. Heffer 3-19), Buangor-Tatyoon 3-98 (S. Cronin 33, S. Allen 26no) d Youth Club 94 (T. Homden 39; S. Allen 3-24). Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 39 points, 1.87 percent; Swifts-Great Western 36, 2.4; Youth Club 24, 0.82; Pomonal 15, 0.44; St Andrews 12, 0.6. – One Short

Big season ahead for volleyballers I

FULL VOLLEY BY DAVID BERRY

feel like a kid in a lolly shop!

The excitement I’m feeling is because of the depth of talent I will have at my disposal as coach of Phantoms in the Victorian Volleyball League premier division in 2021. I alluded to this talent in last week’s Full Volley, but seeing first-hand again at the second selection trial, only served to fuel that excitement. It’s every coach’s dream to have young, exciting and committed talent and for me as the premier men’s coach I have a squad of about 24 players who will form the basis of our ‘Premier One’ and ‘Premier Two’ teams this season. This squad has a terrific blend of youth and experience, with players such as Volleyball Horsham members Cam Robinson, Matthew Berry, Chris Radford and Nathan Berry adding to the experience side of things, while young stars in Bendigo’s Scott Johnson, Sunraysia twins Tom and Angus Hermans, Lachie Scherger and Kade Zrna bring great energy and youthful exuberance to the squad. In my job I only need to select 10 players each game, so the competition for spots will be full-on as each week goes by. To give you an idea of why I’m so excited, here’s two scenarios.

CONCENTRATION: Tamika Dockrill and Cleo Baker at Victorian Volleyball League Phantoms selection trial in Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER The first involves a talented young player from Riddells Creek. Rye Penny has been a very talented footballer on the pathway for the Calder Cannons. Rye contacted the Cannons coach last week to advise him of his decision to play volleyball for Phantoms in 2021. It’s not very often us in the volleyball world receive news like this. It’s usually the other way around.

Opportunity to get your skates on W

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera-Mallee people looking to improve their fitness in a unique yet social setting can put on their skates and head to Warracknabeal on Sunday.

Wimmera Roller Derby League team Wheat City Derby Angels is preparing to launch a sixweek Skate Fit program for people aged 13 and older. The sessions will be at Warracknabeal Leisure Centre from 3.30pm to 5pm. Club president Stacey Drage said the program would cater for a wide range of abilities and skating experience was not necessary. “We can teach you to skate, if you haven’t done it before,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for people to get their skates on and have fun. We will be doing a few skating exercises if you’re up for it, but if not, people can just go around and around. “We think it’s a great thing coming out of COVID. It’s a way to feel good and enjoy some fitness without any pressure.” Ms Drage said club activities had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and members were enjoying an opportunity to return to the rink. “We didn’t do much last year because of COVID. There was no indoor competition at all and we weren’t allowed to train,” she said. “We had a few street skates around Warracknabeal and one at Dimboola, which was good. But it’s great to be able to skate indoors again.” Skaters enjoyed an introductory session at the

end of last month and a come-and-try session on Sunday. Ms Drage said she hoped the Skate Fit program would prove popular. “Skating really took off during COVID – there was actually a shortage of skates because everyone was buying them,” she said. “All the other clubs around the state are getting record numbers. “There has been a real resurgence, so we’d like to encourage people to come along and see what we have to offer.” Ms Drage said participants could borrow skates from the club and members would adhere to all COVID-19 protocols. Before the pandemic, the Wheat City Derby Angels competed in roller-derby tournaments. Ms Drage said there was no pressure for Skate Fit participants to compete. “There’s still no word on competition at this stage and the Skate Fit sessions are quite separate from roller derby,” she said. “For anyone who’s interested, we will move into roller derby at some stage, probably in the second term, but at the moment we are just focusing on fitness and having fun.” Ms Drage said Wimmera Roller Derby League leaders were also considering starting a program at Dimboola. She said people could message Wheat City Derby Angels on Facebook or call her on 0428 620 843 for more information about Skate Fit or to sign up.
