Farm rates anger V

BY DEAN LAWSON

ictoria’s peak farmer group fears an Ararat council decision to demand its farmers shoulder the lion’s share of a municipal rates burden could cripple the centre’s agriculture sector.

IN THIS ISSUE

The Victorian Farmers Federation claims the shock decision to ask farmers to pay 100 percent of a residential rate based on property values would undermine one of Ararat’s primary economic drivers.

Federation president David Jochinke had no hesitation in weighing in heavily on Ararat Rural City Council’s draft-strategy decision to eliminate a differential-rating system and municipal charge.

Mr Jochinke said it was outrageous that a regional council that relied so heavily on agriculture could consider a ‘brutal’ rating methodology that failed to take anything apart from land-sale value into consideration.

He said efforts to be fair and equitable had to take into consideration the vast differences in everything from municipal service provision to weighing up the overall ability of a city, town, district or region to move forward.

“What removing the balancing differential tool means is that a significant minority – the farmers – will be paying for most of the services the overall community enjoys,” he said.

“For a community that is constantly exposed to environmental ebbs and flows and where their land is the primary tool of their trade as well as their superannuation, this is a real kick in the guts.”

The Ararat council, at a special meeting last

week, considered community submissions for two rating options – one that maintained a status quo with a farm differential base of 55 percent of the general rate and another with the base at 75 percent.

The council voted against a motion from Cr Jo Armstrong to adopt the status quo model and there was no motion for the second option.

The council then voted 4-3 in favour of a motion from Cr Darren Ford to adopt an alternative strategy – a uniform rate for properties, which meant the Draft Rating Strategy 201718 would not include differential rate categories or a municipal charge while including a two percent rate increase.

Councillors made the decision in front of a packed gallery, which included mainly farmers.

Mr Jochinke said the decision was unacceptable and warned other regional councils against taking a similar direction.

“If they do they will be met with fierce opposition from the agricultural sector,” he said.

He said the VFF had raised concerns with Premier Daniel Andrews and Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins about the decision.

Fairness

Cr Ford, in speaking to his motion at last week’s meeting, compared Ararat figures with other municipalities, especially neighbouring Moyne Shire and explained that efforts to ease ‘the pain’ on the farming community were increasing the pain on the town, which was unfair.

Broad stands by education reform M

BY DEAN LAWSON

ember for Mallee Andrew Broad has defended Federal Government education reforms designed to dramatically boost Commonwealth funding while directing money to ‘schools that need it most’.

Mr Broad confirmed he had received several letters from concerned parents of children attending Catholic schools in his electorate, but stood by the funding philosophy and framework.

“While I sympathise with people who have sent letters from some of

the Catholic schools my message is don’t stress – you will still be funded,” he said.

“The changes the government has announced with David Gonski were based on balance and from my perspective it gives me the opportunity to deliver better education outcomes for all people living in the Wimmera and Mallee.”

But Catholic school-education leaders fear the new funding model will make attendance at their schools unaffordable for many families.

They and some political commentators have been outspoken on the issue

since the Federal Government announced its funding overhaul, which included a major increase for schools overall but cuts to independent Catholic and private schools.

Horsham’s Ss Michael and John’s Primary School has encouraged parents to sign and send a prepared letter, outlining concerns, to Mr Broad.

The letter calls for Mr Broad to ensure Education Minister Simon Birmingham ‘understands how vitally important it is for the government to honour its election commitment of a minimum 3.56 percent per student increase in federal funding for Catholic

schools in his electorate’. It also urges the Education Minister to meet Catholic education leaders to ‘negotiate an acceptable funding outcome’.

But Mr Broad said the key was to consider ‘the bigger picture and avoid a narrow view’ involving education.

“We aren’t cutting funding to schools, we are just giving some not as much of an increase as others and directing it back into education facilities that desperately need it most,” he said.

“I don’t want to be driving past a public school riddled with white ants and falling down to give money to

private or independent schools that aren’t in as much need.”

Under the government plans, Commonwealth funding for Victorian education will almost double during the next decade.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has promoted the ‘needs-based’ change as a way of bringing ‘school funding wars’ to an end.

State and territory governments provide the bulk of funding for government schools with the Federal Government providing supplementary funding.

Four Dimboola soldiers to be honoured New rail Four Dimboola district soldiers thought to have returned from the First World War will be recognised in the town’s avenue of honour after research revealed they died in the line of duty.

Dimboola RSL sub branch and Dimboola Historical Society member Charles Rees has been researching the district’s honour roll since 2013.

“In 2015, we discovered Alfred Kuhne had a little cross against his name on the returned list,” he said.

“We hurriedly got a plaque made and added him to the avenue of honour.”

Mr Rees said research had since revealed while Roy Smith, Leslie Parker and Walter Brown all appeared on the honour roll at Dimboola Memorial Secondary College, they died in France between May and August, 1917.

He said the fourth soldier, Albert Johann Glatz, did not appear on the honour roll, however research had unearthed his connection to the region.

“He was here very briefly and went walkabout as a 16-year-old to get work,” he said.

“He ended up at Broken Hill where he enlisted, but he didn’t enlist under his own name. He enlisted under the name of Alexander Glades and listed his birthplace as Brisbane, which was not correct – he was born in Greenock near the Barossa Valley.

“Through the historical society we’ve been able to find all of this out. He was killed at Gallipoli.

He was an Anzac and we think he deserves to be recognised.”

Four plaques have been added to the avenue of honour, with trees to

services for Ararat

RECOGNITION: Dimboola RSL sub branch member Charles Rees with a plaque recognising late district soldier Leslie Parker. Tributes to four soldiers will be added to the town’s avenue of honour, at Dimboola Memorial Secondary College, on May 21.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER be planted during a ceremony on May 21.

Mr Rees said members of the Parker family would travel from Buninyong.

“Walter Brown’s family is from Noradjuha and Leslie Parker’s hailed from Kiata. He is also named on the Nhill and Kiata honour rolls,” he said.

“On the day family members will tell us a bit about their family story.

“We want to make sure the men

get the recognition they deserve for their service and sacrifice.”

Mr Rees said the avenue of honour was planted in 2011. It commemorates the men on the town’s memorium list, which recognises those who did not return from war.

The avenue comprises 55 trees honouring soldiers who died fighting in the First World War, 32 in the Second World War and one in the Korean War. The avenue of honour runs from the college’s Second World War

memorial gates up the driveway to Soldiers Memorial Hall. The college is one of two schools in Australia originally erected as a memorial to those who fought in the First World War. Mr Rees asked people to assemble for the dedication at 1.30pm, with official proceedings to start at 2pm.

He said the event was open to the public but asked people to RSVP to him on 0438 416 667 for catering purposes.

– Sarah Scully

The State Government will introduce 10 extra weekly train services for Ararat and Beaufort from late August as part of a new V-Line timetable.

They are among more than 140 new regional services across Victoria.

Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford welcomed the new services, the first added to the Ararat service since the former Bracks Labor government reopened the line.

The new timetable will extend two Ballarat services each weekday – one in the morning from Ararat to Melbourne, and a return service in the afternoon from Melbourne to Ararat.

Ms Pulford said the announcement placed further pressure on the Federal Government to fund Victoria’s regional rail program.

“Victorians are tired of being short-changed by the Turnbull government on infrastructure funding, particularly regional Victorians, given the Federal Coalition supposedly represents a number of country seats,” she said.

“The Andrews government is doing its bit by investing in new trains and more services as well as a $39-million upgrade of the Ararat line.

“But to deliver this upgrade and many more across regional Victoria, Member for Wannon Dan Tehan and the Federal Government need to come good with the $1.46-billion they owe the Victorian government through the Asset Recycling Initiative.”

Ararat Mayor Paul Hooper said the extra service was what the council had been seeking.

“This is a great announcement for Ararat,” Cr Hooper said.

“Ararat has been working with other councils and the State Government for some time to secure an extra service and this announcement is a great outcome for Ararat and the wider region.”

Farm rates anger From page 1 “I feel that as a councilor I represent all ratepayers,” Cr Ford said.

Deputy Mayor Glenda McLean seconded the motion and spoke passionately about her decision, directing much of her discussion at the gallery.

She said rates were essentially a tax on the value of land and people in small centres as well as Ararat were being stung by the differential system.

“The rates that people in Willaura, Wickliffe or Lake Bolac are paying are disproportionally higher than what they should be for the value of the houses,” she said. “I live in a house that is valued at $235,000 and I have no change out of $1800 before I start with fire levies and so on.

“Why is it that I have to pay that $1800 to have a roof over my head when farmers and other businesses have a roof over their head and a capacity to earn an income from that land? I have no capacity to earn an income in my house.

“I’m trying to look at what is the best thing for our whole municipality.

“Number one, I think the motion is about equity and number two, it’s about respecting. All of us in council, faults and all, are attempting to do the best we can with the resources we have.

“All of us are trying to look after the people who are enormously disadvantaged. Ararat as a town is in the lowest five percent of postcodes in Victoria. The chap who left the room said his rates were more than income – well I’m really sad for him – the average income for Ararat is about $38,000 with issues around high rates and issues around housing.”

The numbers

While figures show a uniform rate in Ararat municipality will result in a massive blowout in farmer costs, all other sectors will receive rate relief.

For example, an average commercial property valued at $318,635 on 2016 Capital Improved Value and attracting $3663 in 2016-17 rates will attract an $1849 or 49 percent rate reduction under the new strategy.

An average industrial property of $241,777, attracting $2258, will be subject to a 38 percent or $903 reduction.

An average general property of $187,516, paying $1247, will attract a 22 percent or $300 reduction.

An average farm value of $756,603, with rates of $2990, will attract a 47 percent or $1441 increase.

Ararat figures show the farming community carries 38 percent of the municipality’s revenue share at $5,333,835 in comparison with the general property owner, 52 percent at $7,280,393, commercial, nine percent at $1,255,640 and industrial, two percent at $217,964.

With rate uniformity across the sectors this would change to farm, 55 percent at $7,766,500; general 39 percent to $5,563,900; commercial, four percent to $624,500; and industrial, one percent to $131,500.

Based on a two-percent rate increase for the 2017-18 budget, the total amount raised from the farming sector would be $2,432,665 more, the general sector $1,716,493 less, the commercial sector $631,140 less and the industrial sector $86,464 less.

Ararat VFF representative Charles de Fegely said members were ‘up

in arms and aghast’ at what had happened and were trying to assess circumstances.

“We’re developing a business case to put to the council that looks at the whole issue. What we’re hoping to do is demonstrate the long-term implications of the decision,” he said.

“What’s important is that while some farmers are fearing their rates, their largest overhead costs might double, we have to leave our emotions at home.

“We must treat this as a business decision and understand that thumping the table will not work.”

Submissions

The Ararat municipality has a population of more than 11,000 with most people living in Ararat and satellite centres. It has 4966 general rate assessment properties, 1718 farm assessments, 328 commercial and 91 industrial.

Ararat Mayor Paul Hooper said the draft rating strategy, as well as draft council plan and draft budget had entered a formal community submission period, which closed on June 2.

He urged people to make submissions to the documents in preparation for a special council meeting on June 6.

“We are working hard to develop a schedule of community consultation,” he said.

“We have an obligation to consult with the broader community now that a new rating has been decided by the council and discuss what it means to individual ratepayers.”

The council will consider the draft documents for adoption at a June 27 council meeting.

Thousands escape to event Thousands of food and wine lovers flocked to Halls Gap at the weekend for the 26th Grampians Grape Escape.

Festival director Kate Kirkpatrick hailed the event, featuring more than 125 food and wine artisans, a success.

“We’ve had fantastic feedback from exhibitors who were thrilled with the crowds,” she said.

“Everyone we’ve spoken to – exhibitors, attendees and performers – were all in great spirits, contributing to the wonderful atmosphere that could be felt as soon as you came in the gate.”

Ms Kirkpatrick said the festival attracted attendees from across the Wimmera and Victoria, as well as international visitors.

She said many chose to spend the whole weekend in the region, providing a boost for Halls Gap accommodation providers.

“Other businesses also reported busy trade,” she said.

Ms Kirkpatrick said television

personality and author Adam Liaw wowed crowds on both Saturday and Sunday, sharing his culinary secrets through entertaining cooking demonstrations in a packed marquee.

“The highly anticipated annual Grampians Winemakers Reserve Shiraz Barrique Auction was a hit with connoisseurs,” she said.

“Several winning bidders were lucky enough to take home a rare ‘taste of the Grampians’.”

In recognition of her long history with the Grampians Grape Escape, UC Camping’s Leonie McGuckian was awarded a life membership.

“The Grampians Grape Escape offered something for everyone with wine lovers tasting their way through some of the best wine from the Grampians, Pyrenees and Henty regions,” Ms Kirkpatrick said.

“Cupcake decorating with Kate Ferguson and grape stomping proved a hit with the little foodies, making for a great weekend for all.”

Milestone for plantout

V

olunteers will again play a major role in transforming the west Wimmera when they brave the elements to take part in Project Hindmarsh’s annual plantout weekend.

This year’s event, based at the Little Desert Nature Lodge at Winiam on July 7, 8 and 9, will celebrate the 20th birthday of the landscape-scale revegetation project.

Event spokesman Darryl Argall said there was a belief the Project Hindmarsh plant out, involving people from across Victoria and interstate joining district volunteers, was the longest-running treeplanting weekend in the world.

“In those years it has become blatantly obvious there has been a significant landscape change,” he said.

“While it’s obvious on the ground, it is even more profound when you see it from the air.”

Mr Argall said Project Hindmarsh was the forerunner to Greening Australia’s Habitat 141 project, which involved creating biolinks from Broken Hill to sea either side of the South Australian border.

“What’s been satisfying is that we’ve had an average 75 percent success rate in our tree-planting. That’s a big thing consider-

ing we had more than 10 years of drought,” he said.

“It’s critical to do the preparation work, which involves getting rid of weeds, deep ripping and watering the plants as well.

“The first four years of work was on roadsides linking the Big and Little deserts to develop 2000 kilometres of uninterrupted biolink from the Wimmera River to South Australian border.

“When we ran out of roadsides we ventured onto private property.

“There have been five farmers who have each given up 100 to 150 acres of wheatgrowing country to native vegetation, alongside 200-plus other farmers who have given up smaller allotments.

“None of it would have been possible without the Handbury Foundation and ACE Radio.”

Mr Argall said a major success of the annual event had been creating a link between country and city people for the planning program.

“We get doctors, lawyers, accountants, university students and so on who all come up and mix with local farmers and rural people and give each other greater understandings of each other and circumstanc-

Mum...

... she does it tough

es,” he said. The ACE Radio Hindmarsh Landcare Plantout will start on July 7 with a 20-year review from 3pm to 6pm. There will be guest speakers and a dinner.

Saturday planting activities will be at four sites – two along the Wimmera River at Jeparit, which has been subject to Aboriginal assessment, and the others on the Borung Highway east of Dimboola to enhance traditional buloke tree vegetation.

Mr Argall said volunteers would plant about 12,000 trees and shrubs across the four sites.

“We’re planning a huge meal and entertainment on the Saturday night and on Sunday we’ll give volunteers a chance to rest and recover and offer to take them to the Nhill market,” he said.

“We have a maximum of 200 volunteers because we need to be able to cater for food and transport people, so it’s first in best dressed. Registrations are open and people keen to be involved have to be quick.”

People keen to volunteer can go to website hindmarshlandcare.org.au or visit the Hindmarsh Landcare Facebook page.

“The hope is that the plantout can continue for another 20 years,” Mr Argall said.

immera residents will have access to a wide range of ‘destination experts’ at an expo in Horsham Town Hall.

Horsham’s italktravel will present the free event on Friday, May 19 between noon and 7pm.

Horsham italktravel owner Anne Taylor said she had received a wealth of positive feedback since announcing the expo, the first in the region for many years.

“We’ve had a great response from companies and exhibitors as well as great feedback from the public, who are keen to come along,” she said.

“The expo will include a wide range of exhibitors from different companies, representing destinations in Australia and right across the world and covering all types of travel, including coach tours, river and ocean cruises, rail travel, independent and adventure travel.

“We’re really excited about it. Horsham hasn’t had anything like this for a while. Our big door prize has been a talking point – people are pretty keen to enter the competition.”

Ms Taylor said Los Angeles was a popular destination.

“A lot of people like to go to Disneyland and Universal Studios while visiting LA and also use the city as a stepping stone to other destinations in North America.”

“The United States in general is popular at the moment, but particularly LA and New York,” she said.

Ms Taylor said free half-hour information sessions would be a highlight of the event.

t

People who attend the travel expo

can fill in an entry form to win two return economy flights to Los Angeles.

“The information sessions will be in a different room and numbers are limited, so we encourage people to put their names down for the sessions they want to attend so they don’t miss out,” she said.

The event will also include information about italktravel group tours

leaving from Horsham. “People can register their interest for more information at our stand on the day,” Ms Taylor said.

People can also call italktravel on 5382 5788 to pre-register for one of the free expo information sessions.

For all your home upholstery needs...

LETTER Saying one thing, but doing the opposite Sir, – Our state MP Louise Staley is often in the media speaking about unemployment and the need to support small business in the Ripon electorate.

Usually, she takes the lazy option; don’t offer a solution, just blame your opponent, usually the Premier.

On her social media page, she states that she is all about ‘jobs, new futures, a fair share’. So imagine my surprise when I saw a recent survey sent by Ms Staley to her constituents in which she claims Daniel Andrews is solely to blame for increasing electricity prices.

Let’s forget that her claim only tells half the story by omitting that it was the Liberal Party that sold off electricity assets to the private sector, but where do you think she printed her propaganda? Ararat?

Or Maryborough? Or Donald, St Arnaud, Beaufort, Stawell?

The great champion of jobs went outside of Ripon to Ballarat to get her printing done, despite there being a number of very capable printing firms within her own electorate. Now, if this were a statewide mailout from the Liberal Party, I would understand it being printed elsewhere. But it is targeted at Ripon and paid out of Ms Staley’s parliamentary budget, which allows her to choose a printer.

I am baffled how someone with such a loud voice on local job losses can’t follow the most basic principle of supporting local businesses in your own electorate.

It’s a case of saying one thing but doing the opposite.

So the next time you hear Ms Staley talking about Ripon jobs, ask yourself; is she talking about your job or her own?

Too many chiefs A

nyone who casually follows the day-to-day cut and thrust of Australian politics can be forgiven for periods of confusion about how our process of governance works.

While coming to grips with the different personalities that constantly front the media is often challenging enough, we then have to try to wade through all the other vagaries and processes involved in running a country, states and territories.

What continues to dribble through the maelstrom of governance like a bad leak in an over-stressed pipe is the often-awkward relationship between state and federal governments.

Verbal jousting between state and federal leaders, especially if they are from opposite sides of the political spectrum, has some of us occasionally asking – who is in charge?

The anxiety between tiers of government is always about levels of responsibility, money and the best and most appropriate ways of sharing the national purse.

Everywhere we look there are deals and arrangements between the states and the Commonwealth, some of them dating back to Federation, some under review, some in their infancy.

For example, in the build-up to the Federal Budget, we were reminded that it’s the states that are primarily responsible for financing government schools.

But we were also informed in no uncertain manner that the Commonwealth lends the major hand when it comes to private school education and that it is ready to make sweeping changes.

During the Victorian Budget we heard the State Government declare a financial windfall for regional rail services – only to be then informed that as part of a public-

EDITORIAL with Dean Lawson, editor, The Weekly Advertiser

asset sale deal, the money was only forthcoming with a Federal Government tick of approval.

You can’t promise anything you don’t have, although you can try.

This often-philosophical confusion between governance responsibilities between the tiers of government is far from new.

We only have to consider colourful moments in Australian political history for examples.

One of the best comes from 1917 when then Prime Minister Billy Hughes, after having his hat knocked from his head by an egg thrown by a protester during a proconscription speech, demanded a Queensland police officer arrest the offender.

The officer’s reply of ‘you have no jurisdiction’ is the stuff of legend and considered the catalyst for the formation of the Commonwealth Police Force.

Then there is the poor cousin – local government – that can’t afford top-level political wheeling and dealing because it is at the community coalface where there is no hiding from the people.

When it comes to cost shifting between government tiers, local government is always the hardest hit.

This is where everyday people, such as is the case in Ararat’s rating differential storm, find themselves burdened with far-reaching financial decisions to simply make municipal ends meet – many decisions that should be coming from Spring Street or Canberra.

Partnership wins in Victorian Budget W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership leaders have welcomed the 2017-18 State Budget, which provided money for priority projects identified during consultations last year.

Partnership chairman David Jochinke said the budget reflected community feedback from inaugural Regional Assemblies on the opportunities and challenges facing the region.

“In the lead-up to the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Assembly and at the event late last year, we heard first-hand what opportunities and challenges were facing our community,” he said.

“Priorities were identified and fed

directly back into government, when I presented our region’s plan for the future to Victorian cabinet ministers at the Rural and Regional Committee in late 2016.

“Priorities identified through this process included improving early childhood development, securing vital community infrastructure, leveraging our competitive advantages in agri-science, developing strategies to boost our visitor economy and improving mobile and digital connectivity,” he said.

“Additionally, working with the other Regional Partnership leaders, regional themes and shared priorities were identified across the areas of health, early childhood, education and renewable energy which have attract-

ed funding in this Budget.” Mr Jochinke said State Government investment provided a strong platform for the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership to encourage business and community organisations to partner with the government.

Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership highlights included: • Funding to develop a business model for a Networked Grains Centre of Excellence to advance the Wimmera and southern Mallee’s competitive advantage in agri-science.

• Funding for future planning to develop a tourism industry in the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

• Improvements on the Ballarat rail line to Ararat.

The Wimmera Southern Mallee Re-

gional Partnership is seeking clarification on regional outcomes to improve mobile-phone coverage; trials to improve broadband in industrial and business precincts in Horsham; and additional trial-projects to support the adoption of internet enabled ‘on farm’ technologies, one of which will be in north-west Victoria.

“Our partnership will also be monitoring direct outcomes from the government’s landmark investment of $108.4-million into early years and school readiness programs to help kindergartens deliver higher-quality and accessible programs and support into the Wimmera and southern Mallee,” Mr Jochinke said.

Mr Jochinke said it was important to maintain conversations and work-

ing with all levels of government and business community and to keep focused.

“Nobody knows our region better than locals and the Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership is an unprecedented opportunity for us to continue influencing government budgets and decision making,” he said.

“The next round of Regional Partnership consultations will occur in the coming months, culminating in another Regional Assembly on August 2.

“The Victorian government is listening, so I encourage you to continue be a part of the discussion and have your say.”

Horsham part of Shine a Light

CELEBRATION: From left, East Grampians Health Service midwives Kerry Sturmfels, Clare Sorati, Kristy McEvoy and Tracy Walters with mums and babies on International Midwives’ Day.

Celebrating midwives East Grampians Health Service midwives, mums and babies have celebrated International Midwives’ Day. A large group of mothers and babies joined the midwives for a walk around Ararat’s Alexandra Lake followed by morning tea in Pyrenees House.

A smaller group of midwives joined the walk this year, due to two midwives and one student midwife absent, doing what they do best – delivering babies.

Navy band to visit Horsham Royal Australian Navy Band Melbourne will perform in Horsham on May 17 as part of a western Victorian tour.

The band, under the direction of Lieutenant Andrew Stokes, RAN will perform in concert at Horsham Town Hall at 2.30pm for the cost of a gold coin donation.

The band will present a wide variety of music.

The Royal Australian Navy Band is one of Australia’s premier military ensembles.

Its history can be linked to the various bands of the Colonial Naval Forces, which existed before Federation, and to the Commonwealth Naval Force established in 1901.

said it was important to celebrate International Midwives’ Day and join with the mums and babies they had helped deliver over the past year.

“The midwives enjoyed catching up with the women and their babies – it was great seeing them again quite a few months down the track,” she said.

East Grampians Health Service has 11 midwives and one student midwife, but all midwives also have a wide range of nursing skills.

Midwives at the health service perform a range of duties

including antenatal appointments, education-group classes or one-on-one education if the woman chooses, antenatal care and monitoring – including CTGs as needed, care during labour and birth, care during a caesarean section, post-natal care including breastfeeding and domiciliary visits.

East Grampians Health Service also has a lactation consultant, Marg Driscoll.

“We are very lucky with our midwifery team,” Ms Sturmfels said.

Virus up for discussion A Stawell man affected by Ross River Virus will share his story to raise awareness of the debilitating disease.

Terry Dunn said Stawell Church of Christ would host a ‘speak-out discussion night’ on May 20, bringing together people with an interest in the subject.

“Over the summer months much publicity has been given to increased incidences of Ross River Virus in Australia,” he said.

“The mosquito-born virus has spread rapidly and there have now been reports of it affecting the lives of people overseas.

“I have been infected twice by this virus and have suffered many flare-ups, so I know how

uncomfortable and painful the life of a sufferer can be.

“My concern is that there appears to be very little knowledge of, or indeed very little accepting of, Ross River virus as an illness.”

Mr Dunn said the discussion night would include guest speakers Dr Catherine Pye and Barry Clugston.

“The aim is to make this both an informative evening as well as an evening of interaction,” he said.

The free event starts at 7pm.

“If anyone would like to talk to me about my Ross River experience or about the speak-out discussion night I encourage you to call me on 0407 547 417,” Mr Dunn said.

Horsham Town Hall will be among Victorian landmarks illuminated in yellow as part of a campaign to raise awareness and support for victims of road trauma.

The campaign will include Ballarat Town Hall and Melbourne landmarks such as the Bolte Bridge, Arts Centre spire and Victorian State Library to light up for the occasion.

Transport Accident Commission, Victoria Police and Road Trauma Support Services Victoria have joined forces for the fourth annual Shine a Light on Road Safety campaign.

The event, featuring the theme ‘Save Lives: Slow Down’, coincides with Global Road Safety Week, which urges Victorian drivers and riders to show their support for anyone affected by road trauma by turning their headlights on this Friday.

As part of the promotion, Road Trauma Support Services Victoria organised a community safety event at Wimmera Trade Training Centre at Horsham College on Sunday.

RTSSV regional co-ordinator Kelly Fletcher said as a community it was vital to share the responsibility for stopping deaths and injuries on Victoria’s roads.

“We must come together in support of the people in our midst who live with the reality of road trauma, be they bereaved family members and friends, the injured, drivers involved in crashes, emergency service workers or witness,” she said.

“The road toll reaches far beyond the number of deaths and injuries counted each year.”

TAC-funded Road Trauma Support Services Victoria helps Victorians whose lives have been profoundly affected by road trauma.

Victorian Roads and Road Safety Minister Luke Donnellan said too many people had died on Victorian roads this year.

Anyone affected by road trauma can call Road Trauma Support Services Victoria 1300 367 797.

All set for opening night

BY SARAH SCULLY

M

onths of hard work will pay off for Horsham Arts Council members on Friday when cast and crew present the opening night of Annie.

Council president Simon Dandy, who plays lead role Oliver Warbucks in the popular family musical, said about 130 people including actors and behind-the-scenes personnel moved into Horsham Town Hall’s theatre at the weekend.

“Having all the lights and the theatre environment takes things up another notch,” he said. “It’s very exciting.”

The council announced roles for this year’s production in December, with Stawell’s Bonnie Mellor and Horsham’s Claudia Lopez O’Donnell to share the title role of Annie. Claudia’s mother Grace O’Donnell plays the role of Mr Warbucks’ personal secretary Grace Farrell.

Mr Dandy said audiences were in for a treat.

“There are a lot of classic songs that people will know,” he said.

“There is also really good dancing and the show is funny. It’s a great family show. You can bring along people of any age. I’m bringing my two-year-old son. He might not know what the show is about but he’ll love the colour and the music.

“It is also the first time the town hall theatre’s orchestra pit has been used, which is also exciting.”

Mr Dandy paid tribute to the ongoing development of the cast’s younger members.

“The show’s biggest asset is the kids,” he said.

“They are amazing. I’m not saying everyone else isn’t, but when you see how far the kids have come from their first rehearsal when they were shy and didn’t know anyone, to where they are at now, it blows you away. I think everyone will be suitably impressed by them.”

Mr Dandy said tickets for performances had sold well.

The council added an additional

matinee on May 20 due to popular demand.

“It might be the nature of the show or the kids involved but ticket sales have been great,” Mr Dandy said.

“I’ve been encouraging people all along to get in early to avoid the disappointment of missing out.

“It’s great to see so many people secure the tickets they want early.

It gives us some surety as well.”

Hard work

Mr Dandy said cast members were keen to showcase what they had learned in the past few months.

“It will be good to see all the hard work pay off,” he said.

“As a group, you become really close. It is definitely a benefit of being involved in arts council shows.

“When you have to execute your roles in front of up to 500 people there is a lot of pressure and people get nervous. But that closeness helps. When the curtain goes down, especially, there is a great camaraderie.”

Hoppers raise $27,650 for RFDS A Horsham couple has raised $2200 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service by raffling a load of firewood.

Arty and Lorna Hopper have been raising money for the service for the past eight years.

Mr Hopper said the organisation was close to his heart.

“I used to work in stations in Far North Queensland as a mechanic and I’ve had firsthand experience with RFDS flying into the station I worked at,” he said.

The Hoppers sold tickets at Horsham Plaza and also fundraised at Tamworth Country Music Festival.

“We go up to Tamworth and make fools of ourselves each year,” Mr Hopper joked.

“We raised $1450 up there this year.”

The Hoppers have raised more than $27,650 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Each year, they collect a trailer load of wood to raffle.

“It’s not an easy job but it’s important to us,” Mr Hopper said.

“We want to thank everyone who supports our raffle each year. We see many of the same faces.”

This year’ winner was Leon Cozens of Horsham, with Bob Robert- DEDICATED: Horsham’s Arty and Lorna Hopper are son collecting second prize, a $50 dedicated to raising money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Mr Dandy encouraged people to make the most of a media backdrop set up in the town hall foyer.

“It is a huge banner featuring three different scenes people can be photographed with while they’re waiting for the show to start, during intermission or after the show with the stars,” he said.

“We hope people will use it to take photos in front of, the way they do at shows in Melbourne.”

Mr Dandy asked people to hashtag #HACAnnie2017 when posting photos to social media platforms.

Horsham Arts Council will present Annie in Horsham Town Hall on Friday at 7.30pm, Saturday at 1pm and 7.30pm and Sunday at 1pm. Cast and crew will have a three-day break before presenting the show on May 18 and 19 at 7.30pm, May 20 at 1pm and 7.30pm and May 21 at 1pm.

People can visit www.horshamtownhall.com.au or call the town hall box office on 5382 9555 to buy tickets.

Ms Mintern said this year’s expo would also have a Jobs for the Future theme and Moana Hope, who plays for Collingwood in the AFL’s women’s competition, would be a special guest.

“Moana will be a huge drawcard for visitors to the expo as she is such an inspirational person, particularly to young women, providing them with a type of role model that they haven’t had before,” she said.

“It’s such a new prospect for young women to think they could play for the AFL in such a predominately male profession.”

Netball Victoria officials will also have a prominent presence at the expo.

Ms Mintern said the addition of an events program would help streamline the event.

“The program will make it easier for visitors at the expo to find what they’re looking for,” she said.

Expo project officer Annie Mintern said the June 27 event at Wimmera Events Centre had already processed 50 exhibitor registrations and expected the number to continue to climb.

She said the expo was generating such interest that providing exhibitors with the appropriate space had presented new but welcome challenges.

“We’ve had a terrific response from exhibitors and attendees in the lead-up to the expo. Of the exhibitors we already have on the books, 15 of those are new,” she said.

“We also had a great response from schools and colleges planning to attend, some from as far as Swan Hill.”

The expo, designed to bring a broad range of institutions and career-information services together, attracts more than 2500 people every year, although attendance figures are expected to climb this year.

“There is such a broad range

of exhibitors coming this year.

Students and their families and adults keen to pursue potential career changes won’t have a better opportunity to access face-to-face information,” Ms Mintern said.

Careers expo chairman Andrew Vague said an organising committee was still keen to hear from any other potential exhibitors.

“The Western Victorian Careers Expo provides the perfect opportunity for businesses and organisations to promote their courses, training and employment opportunities to a large audience,” he said.

“It’s not too late to apply for a site, however, with the influx of new exhibitors this year it would be advisable to contact us as soon as possible if you are interested.”

Mr Vague said organisations thinking about exhibiting at the expo could visit its website, www.wimmeracareerexpo.com and download a registration form.

Mushroom warning

dangers of two of the state’s most dangerous varieties, the Death Cap fungus, Amanita phalloides, and the Yellow Staining Mushroom, Agaricus xanthodermus.

“While commercially-sold mushrooms are safe, poisonings can occur when people gathering wild mushrooms inadvertently include toxic species,” he said.

“Anyone who becomes ill after eating mushrooms should seek urgent medical advice and, if possible, take samples of the whole mushroom for identification.

“The most dangerous variety is the Death Cap, usually found near deciduous trees, especially around oak trees, in rural areas and some Melbourne suburbs.

“The Death Cap is extremely Vecteezy.com

Autumn conditions have created ideal growing conditions for various forms of mushrooms and toadstools across regional Victoria, prompting a warning from Victoria’s chief health officer.

Professor Charles Guest said people should avoid gathering wild mushrooms from their gardens, parkland and wilderness areas across Victoria because many were toxic and potentially deadly.

“There is a risk of collecting poisonous varieties which can appear very similar to edible varieties,” he said.

Various forms of fungi have appeared across the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians as a result of spawning encouraged by rain in still-warm earth.

Professor Guest identified the

toxic and responsible for 90 percent of all mushroom-poisoning deaths. Death can follow within 48 hours.”

The Death Cap is a large mushroom, with a cap ranging from light olive green to greenish yellow in colour.

The gills are white, and the base of the stem is surrounded by a cup-shaped sac.

Professor Guest said the common Yellow Staining Mushroom turned yellow when the cap or stem was bruised by a thumbnail.

“These are often gathered and mixed with field mushrooms, and can cause nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea in some people,” he said.

“If you have any doubts about a species of fungus or mushroom, don’t eat it.”

Drive-in night for families

W

immera Uniting Care has encouraged families to pile into the car for a drive-in movie night at Longerenong’s Wimmera Events Centre.

This year’s event, on May 19, will feature new adventure comedy, Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Chief executive Wendy Sturgess said this was the third year the organisation had organised a drive-in movie event, which

coincides with National Families Week.

“Each year we have received great feedback from families who have attended, so we are pleased to be able to give people the opportunity to come along again,” she said.

Kealy angry over cancer centre miss A

n outraged Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has accused the State Government of breaking a promise to provide extra funding for a Wimmera cancer project.

Ms Kealy said funding for the centre was a notable absentee from the 2017-18 State Budget despite Health Minister Jill Hennessy promising the government was prepared to allocate extra money if needed.

“Minister Hennessy looked local cancer patients in the eye while they were receiving treatment and promised she would provide additional funding to build the Wimmera Cancer Centre if required,” she said.

“Sadly, not all of these patients are still with us today and that additional funding would have gone a long way to providing our community with the

“I urge people to support my petition which will continue to send a clear message to the minister that we will not accept her broken promise...”

– Emma Kealy

knowledge that future patients would have access to the best support available.”

Ms Kealy launched a petition to give community members the chance to call on Ms Hennessy to provide the additional $1.5-million required to make the Wimmera Cancer Centre a reality.

“It’s extremely disappointing this vital project for people seeking cancer treatment, dialysis and palliative care in the Wimmera is now at risk of being delivered in a staged approach,” she said.

“We desperately need the

Wimmera Cancer Centre to include dialysis and palliative care to provide essential health services for the region, ensuring that locals can access the care they need locally during very difficult times.

“We all deserve quality services, whether we live in the city or the country, and it is important country communities are provided with first-class facilities.

“I urge people to support my petition which will continue to send a clear message to the minister that we will not accept her broken promise to local cancer, dialysis and palliative care patients.”

Ms Kealy said copies of the Wimmera Cancer Centre petition were available at her electorate office by phoning 5382 0097 or 5571 9800 and on her website, www.emmakealy.com.

Native mammals provide insight P

BY DEAN LAWSON

otoroos, antechinuses, bandicoots and a variety of other furry native critters are again providing researchers with a snapshot of the biological health of Grampians National Park.

Deakin University students are busy trapping animals in the central and southern parts of the park as part of a

small-mammal population-monitoring project.

Grampians ranger in charge David Roberts said the students, working with Parks Victoria, were gathering information about various species that ultimately helped in the environmental management of the park.

He said the monitoring program was in its 11th year and usually involved Honors or PhD students working to-

wards environmental-management or ecological-study degrees.

“The numbers of small native mammals present are a key indicator of environmental health,” he said.

“If we have good, stable numbers of small mammals we then know that things are going okay, that our fox-baiting programs are working or that our burning regimes are right.

“After this round of trapping, which

is happening for the next couple of months throughout autumn and winter, we will have short to medium-term perspectives of what is happening in the landscape.”

Mr Roberts said the Grampians maintained significant biodiversity values as a large but relatively isolated wilderness area.

“The Grampians National Park is surrounded by agricultural land and

Ararat ‘Pirates’ set to plunder Stawell Ararat Musical Comedy Society’s production of ‘Pirates’ will this year be at Stawell Entertainment Centre due to Ararat Performing Arts Centre redevelopment.

The new venue will provide an opportunity for a wider range of music theatre lovers to enjoy a locally produced show.

The society has promised that ‘Pirates’, based on Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ will include favourite songs such as ‘The Pirate King’, ‘Modern Major General’, ‘Poor Wandering One’ and ‘Tarantara Tarantara’.

But it said patrons should also be prepared for many surprises and plot twists and turns.

The production features a cast of 40, a 16-piece live band and a back-stage crew of 20, with the production in rehearsal since February.

Directed by Grant Johnson, with musical direction by Wally Pope, the show also features a lavish set and costumes.

“I have always loved Pirates of Penzance and thought if I ever got to direct a production of this show

ARRGH! Ararat Musical Comedy Society’s production of ‘Pirates’ will be at Stawell Entertainment Centre.

I would love to add some modern twists, pirate pop culture references and plenty of humour,” Johnson said.

“We really hope our loyal Ararat audiences will trav-

el the short distance up the highway to Stawell to see this year’s production and support us – but we also hope audiences from Stawell, Halls Gap, Horsham and the

wider area come along for what will be a great night of entertainment, laughs and memorable tunes.”

‘Pirates’ will be in Stawell Entertainment Centre on

June 3, 4, 10 and 11. June 4 and 11 shows are matinees.

People can make online bookings at www.stagecenta. com or cash-only tickets will be available at the door.

represents a significant wildlife-island refuge,” he said.

Wimmera, Pyrenees and Western District Landcare organisations have for many years used the Grampians as an anchor point in efforts to establish biolink corridors across farmland to connect remnant wilderness parkland.

One of the reasons in establishing biolinks is to increase the range of vulnerable and threatened native species.

BreastScreen service to visit BreastScreen Victoria’s Mobile Screening Service will visit Nhill for the first time next month to provide free breast screens for district women.

BreastScreen Victoria’s bright pink van, known as ‘Nina’, will be at the Nhill Hospital and Allied and Community Health Centre in Nelson Street from June 2 to 15.

BreastScreen Victoria chief executive Vicki Pridmore is encouraging women aged 40 to 74 from Nhill and surrounding districts to take advantage of the van’s visit to the region.

“Nina is one of two mobile vans that travel Victoria throughout the year.

This one-off visit to Nhill has been organised to ensure women in this part of Victoria have access to a potentially life-saving mammogram,” she said.

“BreastScreen Victoria has identified the uptake of breast screening by women from Nhill and surrounding areas is below the state average of 52.3 percent.

“We hope that bringing the van to Nhill will make it easier for local women to access a breast screen.

“Women will be well looked after by our experienced, senior radiographers.

“The highest-quality digital radiography machines in the vans ensure that people receive the best service regardless of your proximity to major centres.”

People can make appointments online at breastscreen.org.au or by calling 13 20 50.

Ararat a shining example

A

Federation University research report has revealed the benefits of a form of care designed to enhance the quality of life for people living at an Ararat aged-care centre.

The report shows residents, families and staff members are all beneficiaries of a Montessori Model of Care introduced to East Grampians Health Service’s 70 Lowe Street centre in 2015.

The 70 Lowe Street centre is one of three aged-care facilities the health group operates.

The Montessori Model of Care works by altering the physical environment and staff training in order to create a bridge to reconnect people who might seem unreachable.

The model gives residents an opportunity to use their hands and five senses to activate and stimulate their minds.

It is proven in helping people with dementia to remain independent for as long as possible.

The health group has upgraded 70 Lowe Street to provide visual cues and a variety of new activities.

This has enhanced the quality of life of the residents, allowing them to experience success at the activity they participate in, reducing anger, frustration and increasing their sense of security and confidence.

University researchers have reported on how the model affected staff at the centre.

Federation University senior research fellow Wendy Penney outlined her findings into staff experiences of the Montessori program during a presentation.

QUALITY OF LIFE: Staff members and residents at 70 Lowe Street in Ararat, from left, Bernadette Cincotta, Norma, Ingrid Henry, Heather, Betty and Dr Wendy Penney.

“To capture the effect of this program on staff who work in the facility, East Grampians Health Service felt it important to explore their views,” she said.

“It was anticipated that implementing a Montessori program would not only improve quality of life for residents but make a difference to how staff view the care they give.”

She said registered nurses, enrolled nurses, patient-care attendants, lifestyle co-ordinators, allied health and support staff at 70 Lowe Street were invited to participate

through individual interviews and focus group meetings.

“The overwhelming common theme is the belief that Montessori gives residents a sense of purpose in their daily life, which includes having choice, maintaining an identity, being involved and having some independence,” Dr Penney said.

“The stories told are powerful, with participants describing how residents are happier, communicate better and have been given a voice.

“Staff also spoke of enjoying coming to work, enjoying the home-like environment, feeling part of a team

and satisfaction at being part of change.

“Without doubt, the introduction of the Montessori program at 70 Lowe Street has resulted in substantial benefits, with staff and family members noticing that residents are happier and more involved with daily activities.”

Plans are in place to present an extract of this report nationally at an aged-care nurse managers conference in May, a lifestyle co-ordinators conference in August and a national nursing forum in Sydney in August.

New crossings Northern Grampians Shire Council has installed a new pedestrian crossing and updated another on two of Stawell’s busiest thoroughfares to improve safety.

The council has built a new raised crossing in Bayliss Street to provide safe access from a large car park to IGA supermarket and Main Street.

Stawell’s Community Access Advisory Group brought the need for a pedestrian crossing in that area to the council’s attention.

The council also replaced an ‘outdated and dangerous’ Church Street pedestrian crossing linking Main Street with the Woolworths car park. It has been replaced with a raised concrete crossing and 20kmh speed restriction signs will be installed.

Cr Karen Hyslop said the new crossings made accessing Stawell’s major shopping and business areas much safer for pedestrians and wheelchair and gopher users.

“Church Street and Bayliss Street both carry comparatively high traffic volumes which made crossing these thoroughfares potentially dangerous,” she said. “Now, with safe, modern and easy to use crossings in place with appropriate signs and speed restrictions, everyone should feel much safer.”

The crossing project cost about $40,000, with the council and the Transport Accident Commission each contributing $20,000.

Freemason ceremony Combined Wimmera Freemason district lodges returned servicemen had their 79th Anzac Day ‘second degree’ ceremony with James Rasche of Lowan Lodge 107, Nhill, as candidate.

The ‘second degree’ is the second advancement in a Freemason’s membership.

More than 60 Freemasons attended from Wimmera-Horsham, Lowan, Dimboola, St Arnaud, Marnoo-Stawell, Melbourne and Naracoorte branches at Horsham Masonic Centre.

A ceremony of ‘the vacant chair’ concluded the lodge proceedings, with a minute’s silence and wreath-laying ceremony.

The shire council is encouraging them to provide information on the types of training and skills development activities they need through a survey.

The council is keen to better understand the issues facing businesses in the municipality and to determine how it can provide support to build a stronger economic outlook for the region.

Northern Grampians Shire chief executive Michael Bailey and Kookaburra Motor Lodge owner Stephen Odgers have urged businesses to complete the survey.

“This survey is a vital input

into the evaluation of our services to businesses,” Mr Bailey said.

“We want feedback on the services we are already providing and on what is missing so that we can better target future programs.”

Mr Odgers said it was important for businesses to provide input on what services they needed.

“The council is taking a proactive approach to better understand our needs, so it’s important all businesses complete the survey and have their say about the types of training, development and regional marketing support they need.”

People can complete the survey, which is open until May 19, either online or via hard copy. People can access the online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/NGSC2017 or

“We cannot stress strongly enough the importance of completing this survey,” Mr Bailey said.

“The results will underpin all our future training and skills development programs and activities so they more accurately reflect business needs.

“By working together, we can build successful businesses, which will in turn generate success across other sectors within the municipality.”

Community bus back on the road Rural Northwest Health has reintroduced a community bus service from Hopetoun to Horsham.

The new service is being trialled monthly to provide the community with social outings and different landscapes.

The service was introduced after community consultation through Rural Northwest Health’s Hopetoun Beulah Reference Group.

Group committee member Barbara Hallam said the group had received feedback from people who were disappointed the original community bus service had stopped.

“The service was introduced to help isolated people with no regular means of transportation get to medical appointments in bigger centres such as Warracknabeal and Horsham,” she said.

“The service stopped because it wasn’t being

used enough to warrant the costs involved. But the new service under trial will run monthly and we have four volunteer bus drivers who will generously donate their time to help keep the cost to a minimum.”

Mrs Hallam said the service could be used socially or for any purpose and where possible, passengers would be delivered directly to their destination, within reason.

“The bus leaves Hopetoun Senior Citizens Club at 9am so there is plenty of time to enjoy a day away,” she said. “There is a $10 fee for the day which is to help cover fuel costs.”

The bus will run tomorrow and June 8, with further dates yet to be determined.

Hopetoun residents can call Gateway BEET on 5083 3001 to book a seat on the community bus.

Rate cap review in Hindmarsh

H

indmarsh Shire Council will apply to the Essential Services Commission for a variation to the State Government’s twopercent rate cap for its 2017-18 budget.

Mayor Debra Nelson said while the council believed ratepayers should not be subject to ongoing high annual rate increases, the organisation found itself in a difficult financial position.

“We provide 100 different services in a municipality covering an area of 7500 kilometres-squared and manage a substantial amount of infrastructure, including 3177 kilometres of roads, six bridges and 27 kilometres of pipes and drains,” she said.

“To undertake all of this work in 2017-18, 43 percent of our income comes from rates and charges and 42 percent comes from state and federal government funding. Our challenge is that this government funding has reduced over time.”

Cr Nelson said examples included the discontinuation of $1-million in State Government roads and bridges funding and the Federal Government freezing financial assistance grants’ indexation, which had taken more than $500,000 from the council’s budget in the past three years.

“On top of the reduction of external funding, rates, which form the other major part of our income, have been capped at a two-percent increase,” she said.

“The resultant significant sustainability challenge we and other small rural councils are facing is well acknowledged by the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office and the State Government.”

Councils can apply to the Essential Services Commission to seek approval to increase rates above the cap.

“With the Victorian government’s budget failing to address the sustainability challenge in a meaningful way, the council has reluctantly decided to seek an additional two percent above the rates cap,” Cr Nelson said.

“In doing so, we are pursuing a three-pronged approach: We are creating efficiencies and savings within our business, we are continuing to seek additional funding from the state and federal

When your GP is unavailable Nights • Weekends • Public Holidays

governments and we are pursuing a variation to the rates cap.”

Cr Nelson said if the commission approved the variation, the council could raise an extra $144,000 through rates.

“That is the equivalent of an extra 165 kilometres of grading or 80 kilometres shaping a dry weather road,” she said.

“On the other hand, we are very conscious of the fact that for our community, a two-percent increase above the rate cap would mean an additional cost. A $150,000 residential property would pay an additional $26 per annum at the regular two-percent rate cap, or $43 per annum if the cap was increased to four percent.

“A $750,000 farming property would pay an additional $78 per annum at the regular two-percent rate cap, or $154 per annum at four percent.

“As much as enabling us to continue to provide day-to-day community services such as community care, kindergartens or libraries and maintain our infrastructure at the levels required by our community, we see the variation process as an opportunity for the Essential Services Commission to independently review our long-term financial planning.”

‘Broken’ model

Cr Nelson said if the commission deemed the variation justified, it added weight to rural councils’ argument that the local government funding model was broken and needed fixing.

“With one of the smallest annual budgets in the state we have always been very prudent housekeepers,” she said.

“This is not about a free pass for the council to be wasteful or spend money irresponsibly. It is about acknowledging that the services and infrastructure our residents rely on cannot otherwise be maintained in the medium to long term.

“These services already are well below the services available to our metropolitan or even regional counterparts. It also acknowledges the devastating impact a reduction in services would have on the sustainability of our communities.”

New Troopers camp home P

BY DEAN LAWSON

opular northern Grampians campground Troopers Creek is set to have a new home as Parks Victoria staff work on ways to provide greater connectivity for Grampians visitors to the developing Grampians Peaks Trail.

Grampians ranger in charge David Roberts said the new Troopers Creek campground would be about five kilometers north of the original site at Dead Bullock Creek where the site was flatter and more appropriate for camping.

“The site will be much better for people to set up their tents and

camping equipment and critically, it is positioned closer to the Grampians Peaks Trail to allow people better access,” he said.

“A new walking track pegged out to Mt Difficult is outstanding, with more waterfalls and better opportunities for people to experience the different vistas the park has to offer.”

Mr Roberts said the original Troopers Creek site on Roses Gap Road, where camping infrastructure burnt during the 2014 northern Grampians fire, would remain closed to camping.

He said people with a nostalgic attachment to the site could continue to visit features such as the ‘big hollow rock’, a long-time favourite for many families.

“We’ll pull up the remaining assets that didn’t burn at the site and relocate them, and we will have plenty of arrows and signs telling people where to go,” he said.

“The old site will also undergo rehabilitation.

“A heritage sign at the original Troopers Creek site will stay.”

Mr Roberts said the Grampians had undergone significant recovery from the effects of fire during the past 12 months.

“While we haven’t had as much rain as other parts of the Wimmera there has certainly been enough to freshen the place up,” he said.

“In fact the rain probably put our fuel-reduction program back a bit.

“We had a huge Easter – the entire park was well visited by tourists and we had record numbers in and around Halls Gap. “Day visitation was up and there was a lot of bush camping and activity across the region.”

Mr Roberts said the park had retained a green flush during summer after breaking rain last year, although areas such as escarpments on the back of Mt Difficult, where the fire was extreme, would take more time to recover.

“But plants have put roots down and there is coverage across the soil profile, which all bodes well for the future,” he said.

Pink Floyd tribute Australia’s largest-scale Pink Floyd concept show – Echoes of Pink Floyd – has included Horsham in a national tour of its two-hour production.

Celebrating 35 years since the international band Pink Floyd last toured ‘The Wall’, Echoes of Pink Floyd will perform tracks from the band’s iconic 1979 album at Horsham Town Hall on June 16.

The tour celebrates 50 years since Pink Floyd released its first album and will play a selection of greatest hits across the band’s career.

Several years in development and having accumulated more than 5000 hours of rehearsal time to perfect these songs, Echoes of Pink Floyd comprises a six-piece band featuring Matt Goodluck as lead vocalist.

The band’s aim is to authentically replicate the sights and sounds of Pink Floyd.

Innovative ideas transformed Horsham’s Art Matters group members are honing their skills ahead of this year’s Art is… festival in June.

The group provides ongoing meaningful arts participation for adults living with a disability in the Wimmera.

The group’s latest project, ‘The Island’, is well underway with members participating in a first round of workshops at the weekend.

The workshops lead up to the group’s festival performance on June 5.

Horsham Rural City Council cultural development officer Jillian Pearce said the ‘The Island’ involved two utilitarian objects – industrial pallets and wheelie bins – used in an innovative way.

“The industrial pallets will be transformed into a series of personalised islands which will become a series of individualised art objects, performance spaces and film sets for a wheelie bin Camera Obscura to create a photographic exhibition, performance moments and screened outcomes,” she said.

Anthony Pelchen, a Horsham visual artist supporting the project, said all participants had been given a small arena to unleash their imagination as they embellished the pallet with their most prized and curious ideas.

“It is wonderful to see this transformation in process,” he said.

First classic for young Tommy

BY SARAH SCULLY

H

orsham’s Mother’s Day Classic is an annual tradition for Samantha Muller and her family.

This year, the walking party has a new member, with six-week-old Thomas Sibson set to join the crew.

“I always do the Mother’s Day Classic with my mum and my sister,” Miss Muller said.

“This year is my first year doing it as a mother, which is very exciting.”

The past six weeks have been a whirlwind for Miss Muller as she adapts to motherhood.

“My life has changed completely, but in a good way,” she said.

“Having a child puts everything into perspective.

“Suddenly everything isn’t about you anymore. It’s about another person.”

Miss Muller said she was surprised how well she had taken to motherhood.

“A couple of months before I was due to give birth it started to all sink in and I thought, ‘Oh my God. I’m going to be a mum.

I don’t know if I can do this’,” she said.

“But it’s amazing how your instincts kick in and suddenly everything is fine and you can do it.

“I am incredibly lucky to have such great support from my family, friends and partner Nigel.

“Before I had Tommy I didn’t ask for help, but now I find it much easier to ask for it and accept it.

“I realise that in order for Tommy to be happy and healthy it’s important for me to look after myself too.”

Miss Muller said she looked forward to celebrating her first Mother’s Day. “After the Mother’s Day Classic we all go out for brunch,” she said.

“It’s always a great day but this year it will be that bit extra spe- BABY LOVE: Horsham’s Samantha Muller is looking forward to her first Mother’s Day with son Thomas Sibson, six weeks.

Wimmera people will pay tribute to family and friends affected by breast cancer while raising money for research into the disease at this year’s Mother’s Day Classic events.

Horsham, Stawell and Ararat will again host classics this year.

Horsham event organiser Jackie Exell said she hoped at least 400 people would attend the event, which starts at Horsham Soundshell at Sawyer Park.

“Registrations are going really well and we usually get a rush before online registrations close, which is on Wednesday,” she said.

“People can also register on the day, but we prefer people to pre-register if possible.”

Participants can choose from a four-kilometre walk or an eight-kilometre run.

“This year we have Rotary Club of Horsham East cooking a breakfast barbecue and we will also have a coffee van there,” she said.

“There is also a special prize up

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

for grabs, with Mackay’s Leading Edge Jewellers donating an earring and necklace set valued at $600.

“The winner will be chosen at random from the entries.”

Horsham Mother’s Day Classic committee members hosted a Keg for a Cause event at the city’s Exchange Hotel on Friday night.

Ms Exell said patrons raised $1440, with several people registering for Sunday’s event.

Horsham registrations open on the day at 8.15am with a warm-up at 9am before the event gets underway at 9.30am.

The business with the most registered participants will have its name engraved on the MIXX FM Workplace Warriors Shield.

The Stawell event offers four options: a 400-metre walk for people with limited mobility, a four-kilometre walk and four and eight-kilometre runs.

Registration opens at North Park at 8am, with a warm-up at 9am fol-

lowed by an official welcome, minute’s silence and the walks-runs.

Participants in Ararat can choose from four or eight-kilometre walks or runs.

The events will start at the corner of Fairway Drive and Golf Links Road.

Registration opens at 8.30am and the walks-runs start at 10am.

The Mother’s Day Classic is Australia’s largest and most successful breast cancer fundraiser.

In the past 20 years, events across the country have raised more than $30-million for research through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

People can visit www.mothersdayclassic.com.au and search for the Horsham, Ararat or Stawell events for more information or to register.

People who cannot attend a Mother’s Day Classic event can also donate online.

Trees for Mum

Think

W

immera people can celebrate their mums this Mother’s Day by taking part in a Trees for Mum event organised by Yarrilinks Landcare Network.

The event, one of a national series of Trees for Mum events, will be at Kellalac Oval, 15 kilometres south of Warracknabeal on the Henty Highway.

The planting event will be between 9am and 11am on Sunday. All trees and planting equipment will be provided for participants.

Trees for Mum was started in Sydney in 2002 by friends Deena Raphael and Lauren Adlam as a way to pay tribute to their mums, whom they had both lost to cancer.

In the years since, interest has grown and the

This Mother’s Day

event now occurs across Australia with more than 30,000 people having planted trees.

The Yarrilinks Trees for Mum event is open to the community.

Yarrilinks Landcare facilitator Tim Inkster encouraged people to get involved.

“Come along to a beautiful site at Kellalac, which sits by the Yarriambiack Creek, to celebrate Mother’s Day and enjoy a free coffee and treats supplied by Little Mae Travelling Coffee.

It’s also a great option for dads and kids to take mum somewhere unique for Mother’s Day,” he said.

Mr Inkster encouraged people to register to help with catering. He said people could email tim@yarrilinks.org.au or call 0488 662 199.

hile Mother’s Day provides people with an annual date on the calendar to celebrate their mums, it also provides an economic boost to various sections of the retail industry.

A huge amount of flowers and gifts of various kinds exchange hands, stimulating economic activity for good cause.

One of the products that suddenly and dramatically comes to life at this time of year is the humble greeting card as people try to find something on which to pen an appropriate message for a cherished mum.

And it seems the humble ‘pen’ is just as important as the card, especially if you are from the pen-manufacturing industry.

Pilot Pen Australia surveyed 1600 mums and results showed 88 percent of respondents appreciated a loved one taking time to put pen to paper.

Pilot Pen Australia marketing manager Barbara Oliver said a hand-written note or card remained a good way of expressing feelings.

“In this age of texts and emails, giving mum a hand-written note for Mother’s Day is a way of cutting through the digital clutter and expressing how much we care about them,” she said.

Pilot has further backed up its push for people to continue to express themselves with hand-written messages with a list of benefits. It suggests these are:

• It has stronger emotional value. Writing something by hand takes longer than typing an email or text, and we also tend to spend time selecting the stationery and posting the card or letter.

• It helps you express your feelings. Composing a card or letter allows us to spend more time thinking about what it is that we want to say.

• It will spark your creativity. Research suggests handwriting can boost creativity, and spending time choosing or making a pretty card, a colourful pen and looking for an interesting stamp, will get creative juices flowing.

• It will be a daily reminder to your mum. We don’t tend to print emails or texts, no matter how heartfelt they might be. However, a handwritten note or a card is a tangible thing that will frequently remind mum she has family who care about her deeply.

• Hand-written cards are powerful. In our digital world, hand-written cards and letters grow rarer by the day. Putting pen to paper is a thoughtful gesture that your mum will appreciate and value.

Research shows such acts of kindness also boost our own wellbeing.

• It can make the writer happier. Not only will mum be happy to receive a card or letter on Mother’s Day, research shows there are powerful benefits for us by penning it – expressive writing can boost positive emotions such as gratitude and love, making you feel happier, reducing stress and improving your overall sense of wellbeing.

Writer takes book to Clunes festival immera writer and columnist Keith Lofthouse took his book of short stories, 30 Shades of Darkness, to the Clunes Booktown Festival at the weekend to literally spread the word.

Mr Lofthouse said he needed to expose his work to a captive audience of booklovers, and the thousands who travelled from across Australia to Clunes every year was a good start.

“For me it’s a chance to generate interest in the book and hopefully have it read by fellow authors, publishers and librarians. 30 Shades of Darkness represents five years of painstaking work and I owe it to the words to make myself heard,” he said.

Mr Lofthouse, who writes a weekly running column for The Weekly Advertiser, admitted sales for his book had been slow but suspected that had more to do with his abilities as a salesman than any reflection on the book.

“I have more drive as a writer than I do as a salesman,” he said.

“I’ve done what I can selling through my website, Facebook, Amazon and my publisher Vivid, but it’s not in my

WORKING THE WORDS: Wimmera writer Keith Lofthouse at work at his computer. nature to be aggressive. I’m inclined to shrug my shoulders and hope for the best.”

Mr Lofthouse said his 30 tales of ‘crime, circumstance, and comeuppance’ was never about making money and only about being able to call himself an ‘author’.

“I sell the book below cost and have given away many freebies, but I can’t keep doing that,” he said.

“Five of the 30 stories have won awards and I’ve had noth-

ing but positive feedback from readers.

“I make the claim that no story will end the way readers think they might, and so far, no one has disputed that.

“So in terms of success I think I’ve achieved my objective.”

Booklovers outside of Clunes can preview the book at www.30shadesofdarkness. com or contact Mr Lofthouse directly on 5356 2493.

Picanto set to ignite micro class

K

ia Motors Australia says its new-generation Picanto will grow the floundering micro-car segment with a combination of aggressive pricing, more standard features, a manual gearbox and fresh styling aimed at luring more male buyers to the fold.

While the $14,190 plus on-road costs price for the new manual version would cost more than the preceding auto at $14,990 driveaway once the taxes are added, Kia Motors Australia chief operating officer Damien Meredith said dealers were encouraged to accept offers for the base newcomer at under $14,000, but the company did not want to discount the car with low driveaway deals.

“We are trying to put the product where we deem the product deserves to be,” he said.

“So from a communication point of view, we’re not stating a driveaway price for the manual.”

Meanwhile, the Picanto automatic, which is expected to snare the lion’s share of sales, has jumped up $700 to $15,690 driveaway.

It offers more standard features including cruise control, auto headlights, a reversing camera, a central touchscreen, Apple CarPlay-Android Apple phone connectivity and an auto power window switch for the driver.

This is on top of the old model’s six airbags, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth audio and phone streaming, four-wheel disc brakes, electric

MANUAL LABOUR: Kia is offering the Picanto with a manual gearbox. The range kicks off from $14,190 plus on-road costs. windows all-round and remote central locking, which carry over. The upshot, according to Mr Meredith, is that the South Korean-built five-door hatchback is in the hot seat to push past 300 sales monthly and lead the micro-car class in Australia, aided by the arrival of the price-leading manual variant that should account for up to 20 percent of total volume.

“It will give us between 250 to 300 sales a month,” he said.

“And the manual will help. The previous Picanto was successful for us because it typically brought in 200 in-

cremental sales month in, month out.

“The old Picanto was just a test – this is very important to us now because of the full range.”

Unlike the previous ‘toe-in-the-water’ exercise TA-series that arrived in Australia in April last year, despite being released in other markets in 2011, the JA arrives just months after its global debut in South Korea, where it is sold as the Morning.

Kia says the engineers concentrated on infusing a more masculine look to the Picanto’s evolutionary styling, with a slightly broader look and beef-

ier bumpers to help achieve that goal.

Work was carried out jointly in Namyang, South Korea and at the brand’s Frankfurt studio in Germany, under the watch of long-serving design boss Peter Schreyer.

Due to Korean home-market tax regulations, Kia kept the hatchback’s overall length and width the same, but pushed the wheelbase out 15mm to 2400mm.

An extra 10mm of rear overhang has been included to boost cargo capacity from 200 to 255 litres, or 1010 litres with the split-fold backrest dropped,

and a similar amount has been shaved from the front overhang.

Another aim was to create a roomier and more ‘upmarket’ interior, resulting in noise-path reducing measures such as extra foam in the pillars, improved door seals, better sounddeadening pads and a more effective engine cover.

The chassis is a development of the second-generation Hyundai i10’s, released back to 2013, but not offered in Australia.

Conventional in layout, it features completely redesigned MacPhersonstyle struts up front and a torsionbeam rear suspension module.

Kia says the new version is the first Picanto to undergo extensive Australian spring, damper, sway bars, suspension geometry and electric power steering retuning for local conditions.

On the safety front the Picanto gains what Kia calls ‘torque vectoring brake based’ understeer control as well as ‘straight line stability’ tech that uses brake pressure to counteract yaw. The body is torsionally stiffer – to the tune of 32.3 percent – and the amount of advanced high-strength steel in it doubles to 44 percent.

Autonomous Emergency Braking is under development for Australia, and is expected to be available somewhere around the end of the year, according to Mr Meredith.

There is no ANCAP crash-test rating on the Picanto as yet, due to the newness of the model worldwide.

Profit up as Holden winds down its Australian operations

GM Holden’s doomed manufacturing operations in Australia turned a $125-million after-tax profit last year, thanks partly to a $51.4-million contribution by Australian taxpayers.

Combined with a $27.3-million profit from its national sales operation, Holden wrapped up 2016 with an overall profit of $152.8-million to record its second successive year in the black after a string of losses.

The result was a $24.6-million improvement over 2015’s $128.2-million profit and a massive gain over the $553.8-mil-

lion loss in 2013 when parent company General Motors decided to pull the pin on its Australian manufacturing.

Holden is set to close its remaining Australian factory in Elizabeth, South Australia, in October this year, bringing to an end almost 70 years of Holden car production.

A statement released by the company last week shows it continued to receive federal government assistance last year under the Automotive Transformation Scheme that was designed to help prop up the local automotive industry.

Along with the $51.4-million from the ATS, the Holden result also includes a handout of $128.1-million from GM to support an orderly manufacturing wind-down and to support employees facing the axe.

Holden says if it was planning to continue local manufacturing beyond 2017, it would have faced an additional $125.6-million in depreciation costs.

“Accounting for financial support payments and projected future depreciation, local manufacturing operations would have recorded an estimated $180-million loss,” it

said. Holden’s sales company profit of $27.3-million, pre-tax $40.3-million, was almost triple the $10.1-million result of 2015.

Holden chairman and managing director Mark Bernhard said Holden’s 2016 financial results pointed to a strong longterm future as a full-line importer.

“We’re facing challenges as a business and undergoing fundamental changes, there is no sugar coating that,” he said.

“But our consistent financial results highlight the underlying health of the business.

Robot Motors

“Now we need to keep our unwavering focus on growing sales, re-building our brand and putting our customers first.”

Holden’s 2016 profit was made on consolidated sales revenue of $3.56-billion, down on last year’s $3.59-billion.

Sales included 94,308 vehicles, an 8.4 percent decline on 2015.

So far this year, Holden sales have slipped a further 11.3 percent, with the company’s market share slipping from eight percent in 2016 to 7.2 percent – its lowest share since its first local model was introduced in 1948.

The company paid $188.1-million in taxes – down on the $193.6-million paid last year – and invested $69.1-million in research and development.

Local vehicle production fell from 56,786 units to 38,677.

Of those, 4191 were exported, compared with 10,452 in 2015.

Production figures also included 38,677 V6 engines from Holden’s Port Melbourne factory that closed in December.

From the fourth quarter of 2017, Holden will import all of its vehicles.

April new car sales take a break

T

he Australian new-vehicle market missed a gear last month, with sales slipping 5.1 percent on the corresponding month last year as buyers took a break.

More than half of the top motor companies strayed into negative territory, with some down more than 20 percent on April 2016.

The combined industry delivered 83,135 vehicles for the month compared with 87,571 units last year, although that was still an historically strong performance.

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries pointed the finger at the number of public holidays in April, with both Easter and Anzac Day falling in the month, distracting potential buyers.

Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said there were two fewer selling days overall in April this year compared with that month last year.

“Added to this was the dampening effect the holiday period had on dealership traffic as many families headed off to enjoy a final break before winter,” he said.

Year-to-date sales are now running 10,419 units or 2.8 percent behind last year’s tally, with the losses coming from traditional passenger cars, sales of which are down 9.2 percent.

The industry will be hoping the

IT’S BACK: Mazda’s CX-5 is back with a vengeance at the top of SUV sales, helping to deliver a record April for the Japanese importer.

sales dip is not a sign of cracks in the economy, rather an aberration caused by the holiday effect and major model changes for some high-selling models such as Hyundai’s i30.

The good news is the light truck segment remains on song, with business buyers driving up sales of pick-ups and vans by 3.1 percent for the month.

Toyota’s evergreen HiLux again came out on top with 3430 sales ahead of Ford’s equivalent, the Ranger, on 3120 sales. With sales of the Hyundai i30 slumping by more than half as the Korean company makes its switch to an all-new model, the sub-$40,000

small-car segment – Australia’s biggest – slid 10.5 percent.

Leading players in this segment, the Toyota Corolla, 2555 sales, and Mazda3, 2313 sales, were down 13.7 percent and 7.9 percent respectively.

As ever, Toyota was the industry champion, although its 16,090 April sales tally represents a 2.9 percent fall over April last year. Second-placed Mazda fared better, scoring its best April with a 2.0 percent sales gain for a monthly total of 8630 units, partly on the back of its just-released new CX-5 that, with 2166 sales, was back as Australia’s number one SUV.

Hyundai held on to third place, despite a 20.7 percent plunge in sales, to 6850 units. This was entirely due to i30 which was caught between runout and the introduction of the all-new model last week.

Apart from i30, Hyundai had a stellar month, with models such as Tucson and Elantra pressing on.

Traditional rivals Holden and Ford are back at it again, with Holden only just eking out a two-vehicle win over Ford, 5804 to 5802, for the month.

For both of these companies, the demise of their local manufacturing operations is biting, with Holden Cru-

ze sales down to just four, compared with 808 in April last year, and Ford’s Falcon down to seven units.

Holden’s Commodore, which remains in production until October, still accounted for about a quarter of Holden sales, despite slipping 24.5 percent to 1441 units.

Mitsubishi continued its renaissance with a 30.9 percent gain in volume, to 5470 units, mainly thanks to a strong showroom performance by its ASX small SUV. Kia was another to make hay in April, with a 36.2 percent increase in sales thanks to across-the-board gains by its mainstream models – Cerato, Sorento, Sportage, Picanto and Carnival.

Nissan is in danger of slipping from the top 10 for the first time in decades, with a 17.2 percent sales decline in April contributing to a 14 percent slide year to date.

Volkswagen, Kia and Subaru all outsold the Japanese company in April and are now queuing up behind it to take its seventh spot on the sales ladder.

In the luxury segment, MercedesBenz was the only one of the big three German brands to make positive gains, up 0.3 percent.

Mercedes’ top-selling C-Class goes from strength to strength, with sales up a healthy 22.1 percent to 651 units.

Question marks over Genesis

H

yundai Motor Company Australia chief operating officer Scott Grant has revealed the company has been forced to change its Genesis luxury brand strategy following confirmation from its South Korean headquarters that six products will now arrive within three years.

Mr Grant said with the rollout of Genesis as a sister brand of Hyundai, 60 or 90 days ago plans were quite different.

“If you’d asked me 60 days ago I would have given you a very clear picture, but some things have changed in the past couple of months on Genesis,” he said.

“Then I would have said: ‘Look, we’ve got 25 dealers who represent Genesis right now, we’ve got one product, we’ve got another product coming at the end of the year’.

“Two products, 25 dealers, away you go. Now it is bigger than that, it has the potential to be much bigger than that into the future.”

In the middle of the year the current Hyundai Genesis upper-large luxury sedan will flick its ‘H’ badging – already deleted for some hire-car buyers – and, timed with a light facelift, will be renamed the Genesis G80.

Late this year it will be joined by the BMW 3 Series-rivalling Genesis G70

G FORCE: The G80 is essentially a rebadged and facelifted version of the large Genesis sedan that went on sale in late 2014. sedan, using the same rear-wheeldrive platform and a 3.3-litre twinturbocharged V6 engine as used in the Kia Stinger GT. Now, however, with another four to five products set to follow including at least two large and upper-large SUV models, Genesis could potentially become too large to integrate within standard Hyundai dealerships.

“There’s six or seven products that are now committed and underway for Genesis, so they will move away from the Hyundai brand and that’s a

big decision to make,” Mr Grant said.

“With that came a rollout plan market by market to bring that to the world, and this has all happened in the past six months.

“In terms of what products, when, what does the luxury branding mean in terms of sales distribution channels, marketing and so on, lots of those questions Hyundai Motor Company has been unable to answer.

“All of the headspace of Hyundai Motor Company has been focused on the success and development of that

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

global strategy.” Mr Grant said everything was up in the air for Genesis at the moment.

However, Hyundai dealerships have been informed of the change and by the end of June or early July will probably have reached implementation consensus with Hyundai Motor Company.

“We had a meeting with our dealers in August or September last year where we talked about the vision at that time for where Genesis was at and where it was heading,” Mr Grant said.

He said that a decision had not been made whether the brand would use stand-alone dealers or larger combined dealerships such as Toyota-Lexus.

Being a former Toyota-Lexus executive, Mr Grant said he would draw upon his experience with Lexus’ customer service reputation.

“The biggest thing by far is customer service and support around the product,” he said.

For the two products launching this year, Mr Grant confirmed the G80 would continue with a luxury focus, while the G70 would be a sportier offering – and that could mean similar pricing for the duo, although there was no final decision yet.

He said the launch of the Hyundai Genesis had been a success, despite the fact only 373 units of the model were sold last year, down 30 percent from 540 in 2015.

He also argued that while sales numbers were not an indicator of success, the Genesis nearly doubled sales of the Lexus GS last year.

A key consideration to the marketing and positioning of the G70, G80 and future Genesis products would therefore also look at how other luxury brands have fared in the highly competitive Australian new-car market.

Rain primes region

BY DEAN LAWSON

Victorian Farmers Federation vice-president and Murra Warra farmer David Jochinke said conditions had primed much of the region for good results, but recovery from last season’s disastrous harvest would depend on what happened later in the year.

“It will all come down to spring again,” he said.

“This has been one of the more

promising starts to a season in regards to rain and forecasts.

“Kaniva has probably missed out a little but as a general rule everyone else across the region has had good rain to either get their crops established or to sow with confidence.”

Widespread late autumn rain, heavy in some areas of the Wimmera, Mallee and Grampians, represents a potential trigger for the region to emerge from two dry and poor growing seasons and drought conditions.

But Mr Jochinke was cautious in his predictions of what might lay ahead.

“After the past two years, anything other than what we have had would

be good. The past couple of years have been a real kick in the guts, and we don’t what anything like that to happen again,” he said.

Dad and I had some great times.

I always looked up to him.

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

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

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

I’m so glad I have someone who cared to organise it.

orsham teams might set the early pace in Deakin University Female Football League after scoring solid wins in the opening round.

While Horsham prevailed against fellow Wimmera side Stawell by 14 points at Horsham City Oval on Sunday,

Horsham Saints overpowered South Warrnambool Roosters at nearby Coughlin Park.

Nicole Polycarpou, Miette Hopper and Penelope Drummond were best for the Horsham Demons, while Alicia Myers, Tahlia Barnett and Taylor Portelli won best-player honours for the

Warriors. In the Saints’ big win, Coco Ledger was best afield with a six-goal effort and Ashley Hobbs and Aily McAuliffe also shone.

In other games, Portland Tigers were 80 points better than Old Collegians and Hamilton Kangaroos were 58-point winners over Warrnambool Blues.

This Sunday, Stawell takes on Hamilton at home at Central Park, Horsham Saints welcome Portland Tigers to Coughlin Park, Horsham travels to take on South Warrnambool at Friendly Societies Park and Warnambool Blues meet Old Collegians.

FULL VOLLEY

BY DAVID BERRY

he strength of volleyball in Horsham shone through at School Sport Victoria senior and intermediate regional finals.

MAKING HISTORY: Warracknabeal’s Ella Bibby, right, and Ballarat’s Sophie van de Heuvel, left, have tied for Greater Western Victoria Rebels first-ever girls best and fairest award. They are pictured with runner-up Lauren Butler from Carisbrook.

All-rounder Bibby snares award Warracknabeal’s Ella Bibby has won Greater Western Victoria Rebels’ inaugural TAC Cup girls best and fairest award.

She tied for the award with Ballarat’s Sophie van de Heuvel, both polling 14 votes to finish one ahead of Carisbrook’s Lauren Butler.

Bibby’s win capped off an outstanding season where she polled votes in four of the Rebels’ five games in her first season of club football, having previously played school

football at Ballarat Grammar.

Bibby also managed to play football despite having netball commitments with Victorian Netball League club ACU Sovereigns, and basketball.

More than 80 people attended the count and presentation night at North Ballarat Sports Club.

Van de Heuvel, who represented Victoria in cricket during summer, polled in three of the five games, including maximum votes in wins over Bendigo Pioneers and San-

dringham Dragons, to share in the award.

Brisbane Lions AFL Women’s player Kaitlyn Ashmore from Ballarat presented awards during the night.

A coaches award went to Nhill’s Tessa Marra and a best first-year player trophy went to Lake Wendouree’s Sophie Molan.

Greater Western Victoria Rebels finished in seventh spot in the first TAC Cup Girls season, winning three of their five games.

The day belonged to St Brigid’s College, with both senior and intermediate boys qualifying for state finals later this month.

The senior boys showed great nerve, under the coaching of Kingsley Dalgleish, to beat Woodman’s Hill Ballarat and Warrnambool College in closely fought games.

St Brigid’s intermediate boys were able to beat Daylesford and Brauer College Warrnambool to make it back-to-back state finals.

In the girls, Horsham College’s seniors were too strong for Brauer College, smashing them in straight sets.

For team members Kaylee Schmidt, Emily Hannan and Ash Voigt it meant they had qualified for state finals in each of their five years participating in the sport.

School showed just how far it had come under the watchful eye of Matt McLaughlin when it qualified by beating Daylesford and Emmanuel College, Warrnambool.

In the case of the intermediate teams and Horsham College, all three play domestic competition, which has considerably helped with their development.

We wish all teams the best of luck for state finals.

Phantoms

It was a mixed day for Phantoms Volleyball Clun in round seven of Victorian Volleyball League.

Premier men continued their good form when they made short work of Mazenod in straight sets. They now set their sights on a top-of-the-table clash with Monash in Bendigo this week.

Reserves men also continued their good form, defeating Mornington for the first time since 2012. The boys have five wins and one loss in the season so far and they too have a topof-the-table clash with Monash this week.

The division two men went down to Eastside Hawks and

were dealt a blow when playing coach Gavin Penny went down with an ankle injury mid-game. They are now five wins and two losses and have a huge match against Monash this week.

Division three boys went down in their two games and will look to regroup in Bendigo.

Reserves girls lost their first match for the season against Bluebelles in four sets.

Slow starts are their biggest concern and they will need to address this if they are to beat Monash on Saturday.

Division two girls had a great four-set win over Renegades to move to three wins and four losses. With two games against Monash teams around them on the ladder this week they will fancy their chances to move up the ladder.

Division three girls had an agonizingly close loss to the undefeated Heidelberg, going down 23-25, 23-25, and 24-26.

They will be strengthened for their match this week.

Foll: Kieren Delahunty, Minyip-Murtoa; Same Winfield, Minyip-Murtoa; Ryan McKenzie, Warrack Eagles.

The Big W is on a roll having won its past three championship campaigns and is now on the verge of rubbing shoulders with the top 10 country leagues in the state.

It seems an eternity ago when Wimmera lost narrowly to Casey-Cardinia in 2014 as players across the region have seized the opportunity to represent themselves and their clubs.

Wimmera playing coach John Delahunty said this year’s selection process was tougher than in 2016, with many players putting their hands up to play representative football.

“The team will look a bit different this year but it looks like everyone is in good form and committed. That for me is very exciting,” he said.

“We had only one training run at Coughlin Park in Horsham before the two runs this week, but there has been a good turnout.”

Delahunty, with former Minyip-Murtoa leader Scott Arnold and Stawell’s Shane Field providing assistant-coaching resources on the bench, said a

major change this year would be in attack.

“We don’t have Lachie Exell and Jacob Cooke-Harrison who were exceptional for us last year, but we have Jesse Murphy from Warrack Eagles and Jae McGrath, Minyip-Murtoa, keen and ready to step in,” he said.

Former Horsham player Nick Pekin, who was also prominent last year, will also be missing.

“There will be plenty of familiar faces through the midfield and it will be players who enjoy winning the contested football who will play a key role,” Delahunty said.

“Championships football is all about the contested ball. If we can start off with that hard aggressive brand and break the game open for our runners it will make all the difference.

“We’d prided ourselves on our physicality in the past couple of years and it has led to success.”

Players such as Stawell coach Tom Eckel and Minyip-Murtoa’s Sam Winfield are likely to be at the coalface, while Delahunty and Horsham’s Tyler Blake, who has shown a fresh enthusiasm in representing the league, will push off half back with Stawell’s Jackson Dark in the key defensive post.

“Then we have the Horsham twin towers down there in Rhona Conboy and Ben Lakin,”

Delahunty said. Wimmera thrashed Sunraysia league last year and Delahunty said one of the reasons for the continued success was dedication from a group of players keen to test themselves.

“There has been a core group of players, which has continued to put its hand up, and they’re the ones driven by success. They want to be successful. Wimmera league is the number-one league in western Victoria. We’re not far from breaking into the top 10 country leagues. It is a great incentive,” Delahunty said.

“We’re going out to make sure we win and represent the league appropriately. That’s why boys picked are hard and honest footballers.

“We’re heading up on the Saturday morning and coming back in the evening, which is a long day but really makes for the whole experience.

“The ground looks like it will suit us – it’s similar to Sunraysia. They are likely to have strong-bodied midfielders and perhaps tall ruck and key-position forwards. They have also already played about half a dozen games and have a few ex-AFL players around the traps, so they might be primed.

“But in saying that, we have full confidence of playing well.”

Wimmera inter-association side ‘hard to beat’

W

immera Netball Association looms as an underdog in an inter-association clash against Murray association on Saturday.

Joint coach Gayle Leith said the Murray competition had a vast depth of player resources and would field a powerful side in the clash at Moama.

But Leith, leading the team in partnership with Antoinette Toet, said she had faith in the Wimmera open team, which despite injuries to a couple of players, would be hard to beat.

“We have the depth to do well and we will go up there and give it a good

try. Murray association is always very strong and highly competitive. But our girls look good and have been combining and training well together,” she said.

The Wimmera squad looks strong and versatile with several players having the ability to slot into a variety of positions. Selectors will finalise the team at training tonight.

The Wimmera Association will send open, 17 and under, 15 and under and 13 and under teams to Moama.

Possible Wimmera open team: GS, Kirby Knight, Minyip-Murtoa; GA,

Jessica Elder, Minyip-Murtoa; WA-C, Jodie Hayes, Dimboola; WA-C, Billie Bibby, Minyip-Murtoa; WD, Emma Hawker, Nhill; GD, Stevie Bibby, Minyip-Murtoa; GK, Jess Kelly, Warrack Eagles; bench, Emma Buwalda, Horsham, Rhiana Kuhne, Dimboola, Victoria Taylor, Horsham Saints, Antoinette Toet, Dimboola.

Round three

Minyip-Murtoa welcomed back the inclusion of shooting machine Kirby Knight at the front, contributing to a 29 goal win over Horsham Saints at Murtoa.

Reigning premiers Horsham Demons sent out a huge message to the other teams as their goaling duo Emma Buwalda and Brittany Nitschke kept the scoreboard ticking over.

While it might not have got the points, there was plenty to like about Stawell, in particular the building combination of accurate goalies Ebony Summers and Maggie Clough.

Warrack Eagles enjoyed a homecourt win over Nhill and Dimboola leapt out of the blocks against Ararat and skipped away to a breather heading into quarter and half-time breaks,

before a big third quarter saw just four goals in it at the final change.

The Roos had plenty of play-making from Jodie Hayes and Nicole Polycarpou in attack.

Consecutive wins for both Horsham Demons and Minyip Murtoa sees them ladder leaders after three rounds, while Warrack Eagles, third, and Dimboola fourth, are just one winning game behind.

Results: Dimboola d Ararat 59-50, Horsham d Stawell 79-30, MinyipMurtoa d Horsham Saints 69-40, Warrack Eagles d Nhill 45-17.

Horsham District has been on the end of some heavy hidings in the past couple of years, crumbling to Maryborough Castlemaine District last year after a 2015 disaster against Central Highlands.

It’s a trend that 2017 coach Geoff Burdett is keen to reverse when his team fronts up against Colac and District at Horsham City Oval on Saturday.

Burdett said Horsham District would field a relatively tall side that was bristling with talent.

“I hope we can do really well.

We don’t have all the players we were hoping to get, but we will have a more than handy 23 committed to the cause,” he said.

“I don’t know that much about what sort of team Colac and District will put on the field but that’s not the end of the world.

“It is all about how we play

together as a team and I’m confident we will be pretty competitive.”

The Horsham District squad had two training runs before this week and will finish off its preparations at the city oval tonight.

“There will certainly be a fair contingent of players from Southern Mallee Giants and Harrow-Balmoral in the team but we will have a sprinkling of others who have made the commitment,” Burdett said.

A quick scan of a potential Horsham District team reveals a potent line-up.

Opportunities

With Giants man mountain Kain Robins a last-minute withdrawal with knee trouble, it opens goal-front opportunities for others such as versatile Natimuk United coach Sam Anson.

Matt Butler, Hamish Ellis, Nick Pekin and Hugh Douglas are also down the centre and the side should be hard to stop.

Burdett will have Sam Weddell running from a back flank, reflecting a wealth of versatility across the lines.

“Obviously Cal Hobbs can play anywhere in the rotations

and then you have Sam White and Ben Taylor in there,” he said. “I just want us to play with passion and work together.

“We haven’t won for a few years and need to get our pride back.

“We just have to work hard and hope things fall into place.”

Burdett congratulated the players who nominated to be part of community championships football and clubs willing to put names forward.

“I appreciate the effort of the players who have committed and want to see them have success and enjoy it,” he said.

“When you look at it we have well and truly enough capable players.

“Nick Pekin is a country Victorian representative, Coleman Schache has played VFL and Matt Butler is an up-and-coming player.

“We want to put on a top show for the home crowd.”

Local Football Live will broadcast the match on radio station MIXX FM on Saturday. People can also stream the game live on mixx1013. com.au.

Strong team for community championships H

BY SARAH SCULLY

orsham District league will field a strong open netball community championships team as it chases back-to-back wins, this time against Colac and District.

Coach Sharon Fedke said she was pleased to have 10 players at her disposal for Saturday’s clash at Horsham City Oval.

“I’m pretty excited about the players in the team,” she said.

“We haven’t been able to train yet but the team looks strong on paper.

“Some of the girls have played interleague together before but they are all experienced players and I’m

sure they’ll sort it out on the day.”

The team has five Laharum players, including shooter Caitlin Story, defenders Ema Iredell, Erin Mellington and Rebecca McIntyre and midcourter Aily McAuliffe.

Decorated Harrow-Balmoral defender Ebonie Salter and team-mates Sarah Cleaver and Bec Francis will also represent the league, along with Pimpinio midcourter Shae-Lea Fischer and versatile Southern Mallee Giant Mikayla Mole.

“It’s good to be able to put a team together on our home court and I’m really excited about this opportunity to coach the girls,” Fedke said.

“I don’t know much about Colac and District netball but that doesn’t matter.

I’ll just concentrate on my girls and rotating them the best I can.”

Fedke said while she had yet to finalise Saturday’s line-up, she expected Story and Cleaver to start in goals.

“Caitlin is a fantastic goalie and I’m relying on her to lead the way,” she said.

“Sarah has been playing in goals this year and is quick and fast. I think they’ll complement each other well.

“Ebonie, who has won multiple league best and fairest awards, will lead our defensive end. With the height of Bec and agility and strength of Ema and Erin, we’ll have a lot of options.

“All our midcourters are quick so we’ll have a good mix.

“I’ll probably play girls in a few different positions.”

The game starts at 3pm.

Round four

The league’s remaining players will enjoy a weekend off following a round of relatively one-sided games.

Fedke, a Noradjuha-Quantong playing coach, said her side would look to return to a strong position in round five after shaking off a 28-goal loss to Natimuk United.

“It was one of those games – they had a good one and we didn’t,” she said.

“You can definitely tell the Nati girls have been playing together for a while, they are experienced players

and their ball movement reflected that.

While we’re disappointed, we have to brush it aside. We can’t afford to dwell on it when we have Laharum and Harrow-Balmoral after the break.

“Hopefully we will return to the form of the first three rounds.”

Georgia Francis won best-on-court honours for the Bombers for her performance in centre and goal attack, while the Ewes were best served by defender Caitlyn Batson.

Results: Natimuk United d Noradjuha-Quantong 53-25, Pimpinio d Kalkee 46-38, Edenhope-Apsley d Swifts 63-24, Southern Mallee Giants d Taylors Lake 66-15, Laharum d Jeparit-Rainbow 50-17, HarrowBalmoral d Rupanyup 56-27.

Weekdays from 5.30am on

Teams lift across divisions A

Bannan converted another short corner 21 minutes into the second half to give Hurricanes the win.

This puts them equal on points and goal difference with fourth placed Dimboola Burras. It is only a small difference in percentage that has them just outside the top four.

Dimboola Burras and Kaniva Cobras took full advantage of the quick field by playing a fast paced game.

Both teams set up opportunities to score, but the nippy attacking moves were all repelled by solid defence.

The deadlock was broken 20 minutes into the second half when Clint Beattie found the back of the net.

This proved to be enough for the Cobras to take the win, and firmly establish themselves in the top four.

BY SIMON KING

ction returns to Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre for round four of the 2017 Wimmera Hockey Association season.

The first game on Friday hits off at 7pm and features the surging Kaniva Women taking on the struggling Warrack Women.

Both of these teams suffered onegoal losses last week, but if they can each put a full team on the field, a close game should result.

Kaniva will look to continue its rare run of form which has it in an unaccustomed position in the top four, while Warrack desperately looks for its first win for the season.

Warrack Hoops and Kaniva Cobras are both on eight points on the open ladder, in second and third places respectively, and with outright title to second place on the ladder on offer, this should be a tight game.

Both teams play the artificial surface at Dimboola well and players will relish the opportunity to let their skills determine the result without too much influence from an irregular surface, which is often the case when playing on grass.

On Saturday two leading under-16 teams will open proceedings.

After a nine-goal win at the weekend, Nhill Leopards will go into the game favourites ahead of Dimboola Kangaroos, who have improved significantly since last season.

On their home ground the Kangaroos will be hard to beat. Leopards will have to play at their best if they are to remain undefeated.

Warrack Revengers and Kaniva Raiders registered a draw and a loss respectively last round and both will look to get back on the winners list to establish themselves in the top four.

The last under-16 game will see Yanac Warriors meet Horsham Bombers. With both teams struggling early in the season, the winner of this game will stay in touch with the leaders.

The closest of the games in the afternoon should be the women’s clash between Yanac Women and Horsham Jets, with both teams jostling for second position behind competition pace setters the Dimboola Roos.

Both enjoyed a win in round three, but Jets have shown the more consistent form this season and should

Women

be able to finish ahead. Dimboola Roos’ more settled playing roster should see the team have the edge over Nhill Thunderbirds, who have been struggling for players.

The final two games for the round appear, on paper, to be foregone conclusions with Dimboola Burras and Yanac Tigers taking on Nhill Rangers and Horsham Hurricanes.

Despite a win last week against Nhill Rangers, Horsham Hurricanes will still struggle against the undefeated Yanac Tigers, and Rangers are yet to register a win this season.

That is unlikely to change this week when they take on the Burras.

The under-12s game between Horsham Blackhawks and Yanac Lowan Stars will be the feature game when the three games in this division hit off at 12.30pm. Warracknabeal and Kaniva Rampagers and Nhill Bandits and Dimboola Kookaburras will produce close contests.

Round three results

Ideal conditions greeted players at Davis Park in Nhill on Saturday, and with many teams missing some regular players, most of the games finished closer than recent form might have predicted.

The feature game of the day was between 2016 open division grand final combatants Yanac Tigers and Warrack Hoops. The game started at a brisk pace from the first whistle and did not slow down for the next 70 minutes of play.

Tigers did most of the attacking in the first 15 minutes and topped this off with a penalty stroke conversion by Bradley Alexander to take the lead.

Josh Cramer scored a second goal from a penalty corner a few minutes later, establishing what would prove to be a match-winning lead.

From this point on control of the game fluctuated between the two teams, and although there was no further scoring, Hoops proved they could match the reigning premiers.

Before Saturday neither Horsham Hurricanes nor Nhill Rangers had tasted victory in 2017.

It was Hurricanes who earned first points with a three-goal win.

Jarryd Bannan opened scoring with a field goal nine minutes into the game and Tim Hunt added another four minutes later when he converted a short corner. Despite some spirited defence by Rangers,

Dimboola Roos remain undefeated on top of the ladder after the side slowed Kaniva Women’s impressive start to the season with a two goal to one win.

Both teams were missing many of their regular players but still managed to put on an entertaining display of hockey. It was regular goal-scorer Kelly Smithyman and borrowed player Ellie Murden who scored the goals for the Roos, while Lisa Stimson scored the lone goal for Kaniva.

There was only one goal between Yanac and Warracknabeal women after the full 70 minutes of play.

Both teams created good passages of play and numerous opportunities to score. Solid defences at each end of the field prevented any scoring until Erin Alexander found the goals with only 15 minutes remaining in the game to put Yanac ahead. Warrack was unable to match this.

Sophie Robinson opened the scoring for Horsham Jets only minutes before half time to give her team the lead at the break, and after dominating play for a 15-minute period mid-way in the second half, Claire Bernett doubled the lead.

Nhill Thunderbirds increased intensity after the second goal and three minutes from full time this paid off with a goal to Deb Cook.

Nhill then earned a last minute short corner just before the final whistle, but was unable to convert to even the scores.

Mrs Bignell breaks drought Warrnambool-trained and Rupanyup-owned galloper Mrs Bignell broke her maiden status at Horsham on Saturday.

Trained by Mitchell Freedman, the fouryear-old mare was returning from a spell in the 1200-metre The Weekly Advertiser Maiden Plate.

Ridden by Dean Holland, Mrs Bignell was given a beautiful run in the box seat.

The daughter of God’s Own appeared to be cruising before the home turn, and loomed as a big chance. When in the straight, Mrs Bignell dashed to the front and put her rivals to the sword, winning easily by two-and-ahalf lengths.

Mrs Bignell rewarded the patience of her owners, a Rupanyup Panthers syndicate, which is made up of past and present players of Rupanyup Football Club.

General reigns supreme

Shane Nichols-trained galloper I Am The General returned to the winners circle at Pakenham on Sunday after an almost twoyear hiatus.

The five-year-old remained honest through this period, running a host of minor placings.

I Am The General lined up in a benchmark64 1000-metre event, with up-and-coming rider Lachie King in the saddle. The son of I Am Invincible showed a good bit of toe leaving the gates and sat handy to the speed.

I Am The General travelled sweetly for King despite being forced to race a little wide. The gelding swooped on the leaders in the straight and raced away to a two-and-ahalf-length win.

I Am The General is part-owned by Donald Racing Club committeeman Glen Wright.

Marian triumphs An Ararat Marian College team topped aggregate scores at an inter-secondary school Black Ranges athletics carnival in Stawell.

The college won the overall teams section with 3110 points from Horsham’s St Brigid’s College, 2862, and Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran School, 1938.

Brought to you by

Barnett strong in blind handicaps Col Barnett, a veteran campaigner and one of Stawell Amateur Athletic Club’s most decorated runners, benefited from ‘blind’ handicaps of a race at Stawell to snatch victory from rising teenage star Tom Walker.

A blind or sealed handicap is one where the field of runners starts en masse, not knowing how much time they have to give or receive from their opponents.

Walker, a brilliant winner at the Stawell Gift meet over Easter, ran a blistering 22.23 minutes for the six-and-a-half kilometres, but had to give 4.30-minutes start to Barnett, a multiple winner of club championships and aggregates.

When handicaps were applied, Barnett had a mere 0.3 seconds to spare from the young speedster who was not in the sights of Barnett or third placegetter Mark Urquhart for most of the race.

“I’m pretty sure he’d have won if he had me to chase down because usually in those situations the competitive juices kick in,” Barnett, 54, said.

“But Tom will have his day, and I’m sure it will be sooner rather than later.”

Niggling injuries have prevented Barnett from starting in as many races as he would have liked in recent years. He has to be conscious of keeping a balance between training to keep fit, and over-training to risk injury.

Colin Barnett “I wasn’t able to do much over summer and I’ve cut down from 30 to 20 kilometres a week in the past couple of years,” he said.

“Last year, I got a calf injury after going into a race a little sore, and learned a valuable lesson about listening when the body talks.”

In the sub-junior race, Jack Urquhart ran a tenacious one kilometre to overcome Odin Klemm-Kent, with Ryan Greenhalgh bustling into third place.

The club has a bye on Mother’s Day weekend but returns to the Stawell Ironbarks for a five-kilometre handicap on May 20. Fun runners are welcome.

Too tough

Adrian van Raaphorst failed

to win a race with Stawell and Ararat Cross Country Club last year, a rare enough event for the 541-run veteran.

But, having won 10 times since 2004, the drought was due to end, as it did when the 68-year-old trundled to an easy win in a five-kilometre handicap at Dunneworthy Common on Sunday.

If a younger man had won with a margin of 1.37 minutes to his nearest challenger the victory might casually be described as ‘effortless’.

Except that when van Raaphorst races it’s always all-or-nothing.

‘Van’ never cruises – his wins are never effortless, or for that matter, never easy because he trains anywhere from 1000 to 1600 kilometres a year to prepare for any race.

“I’ve dropped off from the 2000 kilometres a year I was doing in 2003, but I have been running now, in competition, for 51 years. I was 14 when I ran 5.44 minutes in my first race at Ballarat, and would never have expected then that I’d still be running now,” he said.

On Sunday, it was two of the club’s younger brigade, Simon Gallagher and Mike Jamieson, leading the chasers who were left in his wake.

The club also has a bye on Mother’s Day, but travels to Rhymney on May 21 for a 6.5-kilometre Reynolds Family Handicap. Fun runners are welcome.

Sacha wins national selection Former Edenhope netballer Sacha McDonald has won selection in an Australian 17 and under netball squad.

National selectors announced the squad, along with 19 and under and tall athlete squads, ahead of high-performance pathway camps in June and September this year.

Selection was based on performances at National Netball Championships, in which

McDonald represented Victoria. Netball Australia highperformance pathway general manager Stacey West said the camps provided athletes with an opportunity to develop and progress into Australia’s elite netball pathway.

“Whether it’s their first experience in the national pathway or they’ve been in the system a while, these athletes will benefit from specialised coaching to

Selectors will announce an interleague team after a final training tonight from a squad comprising Justin Eales, Sam Weston, Adrian Pilgrim, Sean McDougall, Shaun Orr, Jarrod Blandford, Mitchell Cronin, Ryan Elliot, Gary Knight, Michael Lockyer, Brandon Greenwood, Thomas Gibson, Nathan Curtis, Nigel Otto, Billy Laurie, Matthew Peel, Rhys Cronin, Ben Robertson, Brady Purcell, Daniel Roach, Lachlan Glare, James Keane, Alexander White, Matt Lowe, Christopher McLeod, Ryan Fischer, John Forbes, Thomas Thewlis, Damien Pemberton, Travis Ware, Nick Bateman and Zachary Jenkins.

The interleague fixture provides a chance for teams to assess their season so far.

Competition is close after four rounds with Moyston-Willaura and Lismore-Derrinallum taking up the first two spots on the ladder.

Moyston-Willaura has had a good start to the season, not dropping any games and claiming the big scalp of Wickliffe-Lake Bolac along the way.

Lismore-Derrinallum has come up against some tough opponents to come away with its four wins. Its most recent win was over Tatyoon.

WESTERN ’S VICTORIA R NT FO ONLY AGE

Steffi qualifies for All-Australian team Rising star Steffi McDonald has qualified for an All-Australian tennis team following stellar results at two Shepparton tournaments.

The St Brigid’s College Horsham student, 17, represented School Sports Victoria in the 18 and under Pizzey Cup and also contested a Tennis Australia Cup Singles competition.

Steffi’s mother Cecelia McDonald said she was one of 10 girls selected for a national junior team, along with 10 boys, on the back of results in Shepparton.

Mrs McDonald said her daughter was unseeded in the Tennis Australia event, which was a ‘gold’ ranking tournament.

Wednesday, May 10, 2017

“There were 16 seeded players and Steffi knocked out the number eight and nine seeds,” she said.

“She progressed through to the quarter finals, where she was knocked out by the tournament’s number-one seed. She was very happy with her results.”

Mrs McDonald said Steffi also performed well representing Victoria in the Pizzey Cup. “She was ranked the numberthree player but by the secondlast day she had progressed to playing as the number one,” she said.

“She played against Tasmania and beat them as a numberone player. Steffi was fortunate enough to train with a new

coach the day before we left.

He gave her some new matchday tips about playing more aggressively, which Steffi said helped with her results.

“She also credits personal trainer Tony Lloyd for helping her with her fitness, which has also affected her results.”

Mrs McDonald said the national team would go to the Australian Open in January.

“We’re not sure at this stage if they just get tickets to go or if they will be playing in a tournament,” she said.

“The long-term plan is to form a junior Federation Cup team to compete in an Oceanic event, but that’s still in the early stages.”
