Parkland proposal ry. It needs to have well-maintained lawns throughout and provide a shady, comforting environment.” With the use of treated urban supply too costly to consider for a large-scale watering scheme, Horsham Cemetery Trust accesses limited and far-fromassured stormwater supply from nearby Horsham Police Paddock dams. Mr McDonald said limited supply meant while the lawn section of the cemetery had access to water through the water-sharing arrangement, older sections of the site failed to get the attention they deserved. “We’re keen to develop a parkland

The trust’s project idea, considering it already has piping infrastructure in place to the police paddock on Rasmussen Road, is to pay for the pipeline to keep topping up the paddock dams with regular allocations. “We plan to discuss further with Horsham Rural City Council and GWMWater on the best ways to capitalise on the plan,” Mr McDonald said.

cemetery that promotes passive recreation as well as a place for people to reflect and pay respect,” he said. Mr McDonald said the development would benefit Horsham district as a community asset and also help overcome a lack of inviting public open space in the area. “We consider the project has the potential to kill two birds with one stone. Not only would it be of benefit to the cemetery environs, but it would also represent a serious opportunity to develop a wonderful and much-needed park environment in the north of Horsham,” he said.

Horsham Cemetery Trust is exploring a $30,000 to $80,000 project that taps into Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline supply and allows it to water the cemetery for 12 months of the year. Having access to an ‘affordable and permanent’ supply is at the core of the trust’s ultimate aim to transform the overall cemetery, which sits on Crown land, into a green and welcoming

park-like gardens environment. Chairman Chas McDonald said trustees were keen to create a place that promoted passive recreation and relaxation as well as somewhere for people to reflect and pay their respects. “Horsham cemetery is obviously a very important part of Horsham and the community has a responsibility to ensure it is maintained and cherished,” he said. “It needs to be as inviting as possible for people, not only as somewhere to put their family members and friends to rest, but also where they can reflect on and acknowledge our rich histo-

Campaign targeting new residents A

co-ordinated regional project encouraging people to move to and fill jobs in a broad Grampians region including the Wimmera is underway through an online campaign.

Grampians Regional Tourism Board has joined forces with municipal councils bordering Grampians National Park as part of a ‘Live the Grampians Way’ promotion. The project encourages Australians to ‘embrace a simplified lifestyle in regional Victoria’ while at the same time help address a pressing labour shortage. Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman said the promotion was designed around an online Live the Grampians Way website called grampianslife.com.au. He said the website, which provided an extensive directory of all that was on offer in partner municipalities Ar-

arat Rural City, Horsham Rural City, Northern Grampians Shire and Southern Grampians Shire, invited people across Australia to register their interest to find out more. “Live the Grampians Way provides a co-ordinated approach between both state and local governments and local industry to take advantage of the ‘likeability’ of the region to attract new residents, expand the local workforce, and investment in the community,” he said. “The Grampians region has been experiencing record visitation numbers – reaching 1.1-million domestic overnight visitors in 2018 alone – and the area is also experiencing unprecedented development investment which is causing a major labour shortage across the region. “With the expected development of Bulgana Green Power Hub, Ararat prison expansion, Western Highway

duplication works, mineral-sands extraction and other key projects in the region, we are expecting more than 1000 new roles to be created over the next five years. “As a result of the stunted population growth, employers in the area find it difficult to fill roles from the local population.” Mr Sleeman said the project’s target Grampians Tourism region reached a population of 59,236 in 2018, growing by 1.56 percent between 2006 and 2016. “Comparatively, the population of Victoria grew by 20.16 percent in the same decade,” he said. “As a result, the Grampians region job market is experiencing a labour shortage and is well positioned to welcome Australians who are seeking new career paths. “On average, job vacancies reach up to 150 existing roles across a variety

of industries in the region each year, equating to more than 750 open roles. “In particular, the top five most difficult jobs to fill include healthcare professionals, trade professionals, executives and senior managers, engineers and chefs.”

Family time

Mr Sleeman said 2020 had proved that employees no longer needed to live close to the office. “Living regionally offers Australians the opportunity to regain time with family as a result of no longer making the excessive commute into the city,” he said. “The Grampians area provides residents with space to breathe along with affordable and green living opportunities not found in metropolitan areas. “Boasting affordable housing, spacious living, family-friendly communities, career opportunities, and a slower pace of life, the Grampians

Parkland option for city cemetery

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ararat streets are lighting up in a display of green, white and red Christmas decorations in celebration of the festive season. Ararat Rural City Council staff are setting up Christmas decorations across the municipality, including a three-metre-tall traditional Christmas tree on the corner of Vincent and High streets. Council chief executive Tim Harrison said the traditional decorations aimed to spread ‘Christmas cheer’ across the municipality. “Our community might have already started to see festive decorations showing up around the place,” he said. “Many of our townships have also received their own three-metre-tall solar-powered Christmas trees, which will be lit in the coming weeks. “Some plans for Christmas are still uncertain as we continue to navigate through the coronavirus pandemic, however, Ararat Rural City Council is working to keep the festive season alive.” Dr Harrison said Christmas represented a time of the year for family and friends to come together and celebrate after COVID-19 restrictions had prevented many social gathering opportunities. “With the easing of restrictions and opening of borders, Christmas will be the first time many of the community have seen their loved ones on something other than a screen,” he said. “The festive season is all about generosity and coming together.”

region is an idyllic location to put down roots.” Mr Sleeman said a Regional Development Victoria survey revealed 15.5 percent of people who had ‘recently’ relocated to the Grampians identified a desire for a lifestyle change. He said 15.5 percent were attracted by the region’s affordable housing and 37 percent mentioned that lifestyle benefits were what they enjoyed most about their new homes. “Other notable advantages of living in the Grampians region mentioned by survey participants included location, such as proximity to natural attractions, less traffic, reduced commute times, community involvement, local people, weather, housing affordability and low crime rates,” he said. The State Government’s Stronger Regional Communities Plan funding stream financed the Live the Grampians Way project.

From page 1 Community volunteers make up Horsham Cemetery Trust, a self-funded body answerable to the Department of Health and Human Services. The trust is self-funded through the sale of burial and cremation sites and proceeds pay for cemetery maintenance. It cannot undertake major upgrades without external financial help and applies for and receives some government grants to help buy essential equipment. It is independent of Horsham Rural City Council but works with and pays the council for specific administrative services. The average number of internments for the past 10 years is 129 a year. The number of internments for 2019-2020 was 145. The cost of internment in the lawn section is $2510. Mr McDonald said the trust was only in a position to pay GWMWater to connect the cemetery to the pipeline and potentially buy ‘affordable’ back-up water through the police paddock dams after a donation from Horsham’s former Italian club. He said through the process of winding up the Italian club, committee member Manny Vitti insisted that a portion of the proceeds stay in Horsham for donation to a notfor-profit body ‘to benefit future Horsham generations’. “We’re very conscious that the cemetery must be something we all consider a major asset for Horsham – somewhere quite special,” he said. “We look at it as a lasting legacy for the families of Horsham district and I’m sure we would all like to see the resting places of our people in the best condition possible. Our ultimate vision is the we would one day have the cemetery resembling botanic gardens. “But first we need water.”

Kealy questions service merger U

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ncertainty about the viability of a possible merger between Wimmera and Ballarat health services has prompted a politician with a health-executive background to question the move.

Community health officials have listed a merger between Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services as a way to potentially improve and meet demand for clinical services across the region. But Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, a former Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital chief executive, said a merger could prompt job losse and mean the region had ‘more to lose than gain in terms of service provision’. She said a community consultation period was open until mid-February next year and it was crucial Wimmera-Mallee residents had their say throughout the process. “We need to tread very carefully because if Horsham hospital was to

merge with Ballarat, then we’ll potentially lose our local voice, local jobs and services,” she said. “The community needs to have its say and be engaged in the process and informed on what the risks are.” Filling key clinical roles has been an ongoing issue for Wimmera Health Care Group and its board is keen to explore options to resolve the problem. Ms Kealy said she would prefer to see improved co-ordination between health services, instead of a merger. She said an alternative partnering model such as group contracting arrangements between specialist services through Ballarat could be a viable option in meeting service demand. “A group-purchasing model could allow specialists to enter into a contract with Ballarat, and as part of that contract, they could go to Horsham to provide a service once every couple of weeks or monthly and provide video consultations in between,” she said. “That could be a way to meet the

immediate critical need and provide security of specialists services in the region.” Ms Kealy said a merger could mean more resources were pulled from the Wimmera health service during times of high demand. “I draw some parallels with Ballarat psychiatric services, which is an entire-region approach,” she said. “When there is a shortage of psychiatrists, that minimises availability for the whole region. “I would be concerned under a merger that Ballarat would get the priority and when they’re short of staff they could simply just pull resources to staff Ballarat.”

Edenhope investigating

Edenhope hospital is one of many health services in the Wimmera investigating the effect a merger could have on regional service provision. Chief executive Andrew Saunders said his organisation was discussing the proposal and would provide feedback about a potential merger from

the perspective of a small rural health service. “Our involvement aims to ensure that our health service can contribute our views – with a focus on access to quality healthcare for our community,” he said. Mr Saunders said the merger proposal might present an opportunity to improve clinical services. “There are opportunities for providing greater access to healthcare locally, an ability to strengthen our acute services capacity, enhancing clinical governance and service delivery, and ensuring safe and effective health services for the Edenhope community into the future,” he said. The Weekly Advertiser also contacted West Wimmera Health Service, Rural Northwest Health and Stawell Regional Health chief executives for comment but the organisations have yet to release any formal statements. Wimmera-Mallee residents can have their say on the potential merger through a survey until Friday next

week and a consultation period will be open until mid-February 2021. Wimmera health group board chair Marie Aitken assured Wimmera people any final decision would be based on an expansion of clinical services and no services would be lost.

Feedback sought

She encouraged more residents to provide feedback by filling out the survey. “We’ve had responses from both team members and community members from throughout the region and the basic message has been that if partnering improves the delivery of clinical services to the region, it has to be a good thing,” she said. “Some ideas and challenges have been raised, which supports us to understand what is important for the community. These will be discussed at face-to-face sessions with the community in January and February.” People can access the survey online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/WHCGandBHSPartnership

West Wimmera meeting online West Wimmera Health Service has invited the community to attend an online annual meeting at 10am on December 11. Chief executive Ritchie Dodds said community participation was important. “The meeting will be run over online platform Zoom. You can

Balancing wild and life in park plan

@theweeklyadd

The Weekly Advertiser

ife tends to throw us curve balls and it seems 2020 has produced more than usual.

One of the more fascinating ideas to emerge of late is a suggestion to investigate the cultural and environmental benefits of re-introducing long-lost native species back into Grampians National Park. It is a sad tale that the Grampians, part of a broader mountain landscape, is similar to many areas across Australia in experiencing localised extinctions or population fragmentation of many of its indigenous species. And being a large ‘island’ temperate wilderness area, there have been many suggestions in the past about how we could use the Grampians to greater support or protect threatened species. A new Parks Victoria draft management plan for Greater Gariwerd Landscape, including the Grampians, has gone some way to formalise the concept, adding cultural connection as a supporting element. The plan lists an investigation of re-introduction of some locally extinct or culturally significant species as a ‘medium priority’. The national park is designed to protect and support a wide range of plants, animals, eco-systems and historic sites and is likely to provide ideal habitats for species resurrection.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

It is also important to point out that our national parks have limitations and pristine environments that existed before modern human intervention are rare. There is a degree of excitement surrounding the prospect that under the Gariwerd planning document, species such as eastern and spot-tailed quolls, southern bettongs and eastern barred bandicoots might one day again be able to call the Grampians home. Wow! What a win that would be for us all, as well as these unique animals.

Dingoes

But, we can’t help but feel a degree of uneasiness in noting that dingoes are also on the list. Our native dog is a precious animal. But it is also a wolf and while having a special place in Australia’s culture, heritage and landscape dating back thousands of years, it is questionable a Grampians re-introduction, in a modern setting, would lead to a good outcome.

Some graziers in Grampians fringe areas are understandably concerned where the idea might lead. Authors of the draft plan also acknowledge the unknown outcomes and controversial nature of the idea. As they state in the document: “There are many unknown interactions or outcomes that may result from their reintroduction to the existing state of ecosystems. The re-establishment of dingo or dingo-hybrid populations in the Greater Gariwerd Landscape has the potential to cause community concerns due to possible conflicts with grazing.” The introduction of high-level predators has had some ecological success in controlling over-abundant or pest species in various parts of the world. In some settings the move has wildlife balancing benefits as well as cultural merit. But we’re talking about the Wimmera and we’re unsure, especially with such a large predator that can readily interbreed with dogs, if it would fit in the region of today. What we do know is that it is good this idea is in the public domain and everyone has a chance to discuss and debate its merits or otherwise. • People can find out more or have their say online at engage.vic.gov.au/gari werd-management-plan.

Inclusive health partnership

REVITALISE: Wotjobaluk woman Robyn Lauricella and her brother Wotjobaluk man Geoffrey Marks are promoting a new language restoration centre opening in Dimboola. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Centre to revive ancient language U

BY DYLAN DE JONG

nearthing a lost language commonly spoken in the Wimmera more than 200 years ago is at the heart of a revitalisation project unfolding in Dimboola.

‘Piecing together the puzzle’ is how Wotjobaluk woman Robyn Lauricella describes major plans to recover her native tongue, the Wergaia language. Her family, including brother Wotjobaluk man Geoffrey Marks and mother elder Aunty Hazel McDonald, will officially open a language and cultural learning centre in the town on Saturday. The family is working with First Languages and Arts Training Indigenous Corporation, a group established in January 2020 to address the large gap in first language speakers in Victoria. Dhagung Wurrung elder and linguist Aunty Lee Healy, who recovered her native language Taungurung, will help the family and corporation to further establish the Wergaia language. Mrs Lauricella, who will be a community engagement officer at the centre, said plans were to establish programs by February 2021 to invite Traditional Owners and the broader community to learn the language and culture. “Having a Wotjobaluk knowledge place in Dimboola is for all Traditional Owners who want to come and learn,” she said. “We are proud of who we are and where we live and our culture. I believe it will make our ancestors proud, knowing the language will be passed on, because we are learning our culture – we are learning our language.” Mrs Lauricella said it would be ‘crucial’ to invite the whole community to engage in the centre’s programs to ensure a lifeline for the ancient language the Wotjobaluk people spoke for thousands of years. “We visit other places across the country and First Nations people are speaking their language. It’s great hearing the other languages, but we sit back and think we wish we had that,” she said.

Three Wimmera-Mallee health-service providers have gone into partnership to further formally recognise the importance of improving healthcare that is inclusive and appropriate for all. West Wimmera Health Service, Rural Northwest Health and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, with Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative. The MOU is to strengthen a collective capacity to provide services that are culturally appropriate, safe and meet the needs of the Aboriginal community. West Wimmera service chief executive Ritchie Dodds said inclusive and appropriate care was a priority in the region. “This MOU will assist in improving our ability to serve our culturally diverse communities, in particular those of the traditional owners of the land on which we operate – the Wotjobaluk,

“It’s disheartening because we feel like we are losing it. It feels like you’re losing part of your identity. It’s going to be great for the whole Wimmera and our people to have a centre like this – it’s not only for Traditional Owners, but also non-Traditional Owners in the wider community.” Before colonisation, there were about 250 indigenous languages spoken in Australia, including more than 40 in Victoria. Of the Victorian languages, 38 are now considered endangered. Wotjobaluk Traditional Owners and First Nation organisations have been restoring the Wergaia language over the past two decades. In 2007, a consultation process helped form a booklet with Wergaia-sourced words and phrases. However, Mrs Lauricella said it was becoming increasingly uncommon for the Wergaia language to be spoken across the region. “Our ancestors spoke the language and it was passed on to a point, but we never got it taught to us and our parents were never taught,” she said. “Our mum is a Wotjobaluk elder and never got taught how to speak her own language but she’s learning it herself and wants to teach her kids and her grandkids. There’s only a handful of people still learning and there’s not a lot of people who know how to speak it.”

Culture hub

Mrs Lauricella said the centre would also be a hub to learn about First Nations art and culture as well as provide wraparound support services for social enterprise development, creating a business pathway for emerging indigenous artisans. “The centre is not only to come in and learn language – it’s about coming in and having a yarn about culture or going with Geoffrey out on country,” she said. Mr Marks, who will be the centre’s cultural heritage project officer, said he hoped the centre could eventually teach the Wergaia language in schools across the region.

Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Jupagulk people,” he said. Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative is the principal Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation in the region. Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital chief executive Andrew Saunders said Aboriginal health was a priority. “We recognise that improving health outcomes requires collaboration – it takes more than one health organisation to achieve this goal,” he said. Mr Saunders’ Rural Northwest Health counterpart Kevin Mills agreed. “We are excited and look forward to building a responsive and respectful relationship with Goolum Goolum over the next five years and collaborating to ensure we provide culturally safe services to Aboriginal members in our community,” he said.

Culture focus for art project A

HISTORY PIECE: Ararat Gallery TAMA manager Jacqueline Grenfell with a large eel trap created by one of Australia’s foremost First Nations weavers, Yvonne Koolmatrie. Picture. PAUL CARRACHER

Go ‘looking through time’ An art exhibition peering into Australia’s history is featuring in an Ararat gallery, which has reopened after lengthy closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ararat Gallery TAMA reopened its doors to the public with its exhibition ‘Looking Through Time’ earlier this month. Gallery manager Jacqueline Grenfell said the exhibition looked to explore notions of Australian basketry practices from the late 1970s to early 1990s. “You can expect a deep dive into one of the most widely spread cultural practices in the world, basketry,” she said. “Visitors will also get to view TAMA’s most recent acquisition, a trio of baskets by First Nations-Italian artist Lisa Waup.

“The collection is a true celebration of Waup’s distinctive weaving practice and themes close to her heritage – tracing lost history, country, motherhood and time.” Ms Grenfell said gallery directors were also looking forward to the return of a highly popular National Gallery Victoria Kids on Tour program. The school holiday program will offer free activities for children and families. This year’s theme is ‘Art is for Everyone’. Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison said arts and culture played an important role in the fabric of life in the municipality and the gallery ensured the community could access high-quality art. “The reopening and launch of the

basketry exhibition is a great opportunity to increase local engagement with the arts and showcase our collection,” he said. “In line with the easing of restrictions based on the advice of the Chief Health Officer, the council is pleased to welcome back visitors to enjoy the impressive offerings of the Ararat gallery.” The gallery will ensure appropriate measures such as limits on visitor numbers, queue management, increased cleaning of facilities, hand sanitiser stations and an online booking system are on offer. Visitors will be limited to 20 customers at a time for a period of 1.5 hours, in line with the latest COVID-safe guidelines. People can book tickets online at www.araratgallerytama.com.au.

“It is such a big part of their identity and I feel it’s not celebrated as much as it should be”

BY DYLAN DE JONG

n art project aimed at connecting First Nations students in Ararat will feature at a major aboriginal and cultural event in 2022.

Ararat College Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students have created a ‘larger-than-life’ yellow-tailed black cockatoo crafted entirely out of scrap material. Natimuk artist Dave Jones, metalwork teacher Chris Reynolds and indigenous master weaver Aunty Bronwyn Razem led the students in creating the piece for the Lake Bolac Eel Festival. College First Nations co-ordinator Tahni Skewes said students learnt how to craft, weld and assemble through the process of creating the giant cockatoo. She said the project provided the school’s indigenous students with an opportunity to connect with culture. “Students love any opportunity to be involved in cultural activities,” she said. “It is such a big part of their identity and I feel it’s not celebrated as much as it should be.” Ms Skewes said the cockatoo, a native bird to Mt Langi Ghiran south of Ararat, was culturally significant to the Djab Wurrung people – the Traditional Owner group of the area. She said the project gave the students a chance to learn about the Djab Wurrung people’s culture. “It’s really important to provide students the opportunity to connect and discuss traditions and artworks – that’s such a big part of Aboriginal culture,” she said.

The metal sculpture will link into Dave Jones’ larger art project, which has featured in the festival in past years. Jones has created two other large metal sculptures including an emu and brolga. “It’s an ongoing project. The sculptures are of birds you would typically see around the region at places like Lake Bolac and Mt Langi Ghiran,” Jones said. He said working with artists provided a ‘wonderful’ opportunity for the rural students to think more creatively while learning new skills. “The kids might not have had an opportunity to get involved in this sort of project before where something they have collaborated on is featured in a festival,” he said. “Some students sourced the bits, some were welding, others were cutting the metal and other kids were doing the weaving aspect.” The cockatoo is set to feature in the Lake Bolac festival in 2022, which was postponed earlier this year due to COVID-19. The eel festival links into an ancient cultural tradition of First Nations people gathering by Lake Bolac as they have done for thousands of years. Students are working with Aunty Bronwyn and Katja Nedoluha to weave and add colour, detail and texture to the cockatoo including its yellow feathers.

Female artists headline exhibition

emale artists are primed to be at the forefront of a unique touring art exhibition to feature in Horsham for the next six weeks.

Horsham Regional Art Gallery joined National Exhibitions Touring Support, NETS, Victoria to present ‘FEM-aFFINITY’, which opened this week. The exhibition showcases Australian female artists whose work shares an affinity of subject matter, technique and process. Curator Catherine Bell said the exhibition aimed to uncover related variations of female identity and perspectives on historical feminist concepts by positioning female artists alongside each other. “I’m a regular visitor to the Arts Project Australia gallery and have a particular interest in the work of the female artists who attend their studio, I have often considered the uncanny connections their work has with other female contemporary artists,” she said. “I’m interested in highlighting the affinity. Curating a selection of past

works by each artist demonstrates a sustained line of inquiry. “The opportunity for the artists to collaborate and develop new work for the show celebrates these ongoing themes and connections.” Ms Bell said drawing upon interdisciplinary approaches, such as painting, printmaking, drawing, performance and photography, the exhibition also considered how artworks were a complex and nuanced way of thinking about embodied knowledge and how it aligned with identity politics explored in contemporary art. The 14 exhibiting artists include Fulli Andrinopoulos, Jane Trengove, Dorothy Berry, Jill Orr, Wendy Dawson, Helga Groves, Bronwyn Hack, Heather Shimmen, Eden Menta, Janelle Low, Cathy Staughton, Prudence Flint, Lisa Reid and Yvette Coppersmith. Exhibiting artists Yvette Coppersmith and Lisa Reid have painted portraits of prominent males in the arts, and over the next few months plan to draw male life models together. Meanwhile, abstract artists Helga

U3A to relaunch

ommunity emergence from COVID-19 has prompted Horsham University of the Third Age to start planning for what members are hoping will be a busy 2021.

Group spokesman Rick Walker confirmed that the Horsham group was determined to reignite a diverse program schedule and would call for membership registrations in January. “We will be back and reopening for registrations between 10am and 3pm on January 21. Not only that, we’ll carry over membership for anyone who signed on this year so they won’t have to pay anything next year,” he said. Horsham U3A registration day will be at the organisation’s headquarters at Horsham Railway Station. Mr Walker said it was important that U3A groups bounced back strongly after the pandemic. “For us, apart from two online programs, everything stopped. But we’re keen to get everything up and running again,” he said. Mr Walker said he suspected many people in the community would be sick of or have a much

clearer understanding of social isolation after the pandemic and be looking for a creative outlet. “At U3A we recognise the demoralising effect social isolation has on the older section of the community. Because it is invisible, being lonely is something that people are not prepared to admit to,” he said. “Emerging from this pandemic represents a perfect opportunity to come and see what we offer, to meet people and to get active. “U3A provides a great outlet for people who are not fully employed.” The University of the Third Age, an international movement designed to provide, at low cost, lifelong learning opportunities for retired people in an informal environment, started in France in 1973. No prior qualifications are needed and courses do not award qualifications. Implicit in U3A’s philosophy is the importance of social interaction through courses and discussions involving tutors and students. More information about Horsham U3A is available on website www.horshamu3a.org.au.

March date for development start C

BY DEAN LAWSON

onstruction on a multi-million-dollar housing-development first for Horsham will start in March next year.

Developer Stuart Benjamin from Elmstone Property Group confirmed the date after a Horsham Rural City Council decision to grant a permit for the Oatlands area project. He said the decision also meant the Ballarat-based group could immediately start appointing Wimmera contractors and would announce a principal building firm in coming weeks. “Elmstone has already appointed Ferguson Perry Surveying in Horsham for the survey and design process,” he said.

Mr Benjamin said he was also excited that many of the 12 Wimmera buyers who had already put their names forward to secure houses in the development would have the confidence to access federal and state government first-home-builder grants. “Any contracts signed before the end of December will qualify for the full $25,000 Federal Government HomeBuilder grant. Any signed after then will still qualify them for $15,000. Of course a State Government $20,000 First Home Owner Grants scheme continues well into next year. This was a critical part of this development,” he said. A new-look Horsham council, in its first ordinary meeting since local

government elections, voted 4-3 to grant a permit for the development to go ahead. The project involves building a contained housing development block featuring 35 single-storey, single-bedroom apartments on a 5000-square-metre site at the northern end of Alexander Avenue. The ‘village block’ concept is designed to meet ‘pressing demand’ for alternative and ‘affordable’ housing options in Horsham. The individual houses, which come with a six-star energy rating, are designed for couples or singles wanting to either enter the property market or to significantly downsize their holdings. The houses will sell for an average

Cheesy challenge success “Every school and student should be proud of what they have achieved during the program. It was a very hard task to choose only 13 recipes from so many unique dairy creations,” she said. The program was available as a curricular activity within school food technology classes. The program provided students and teachers with support resources and curriculum. Ms Wong said Great Ocean Road was proud to support the Cheese Your Own Creation program. “It’s a great opportunity for students to have fun while learning important life skills like cooking and getting to know more about the wide range of career opportunities in Australia’s vibrant dairy industry,” she said. “The program showcases dairy products and their nutritional value, as well as highlighting the importance of the industry to regional economies. When students see dairy products on their supermarket shelf, they can make the connection back to where dairy comes from in their local community.”

called for alternative or changes to project plans. Councillors agreed that for the project to proceed there was a need for greater traffic control and risk mitigation in Alexander Avenue. Mr Benjamin: “We are yet to see the council proposal for traffic control, which was passed as a planning amendment. Several objectors had raised concerns about increased traffic in the area, which we acknowledged, and the council appears to have addressed this.” Councillors debated granting a permit after a council report showed the developer had met all Horsham and Victorian Planning Scheme requirements.

TOP GNOCCHI: Claire Burton of Horsham is among winners of a Cheese Your Own Creation competition. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

A cheesy kitchen creation has won St Brigid’s College student Claire Burton $250 for the Horsham school and a place for her dairy creation in a Great Ocean Road 2021 calendar. The 14-year-old year-nine student was one of more than 1030 students from 70 schools across Australia to explore their culinary skills in a Great Ocean Road – Careers made here – Cheese Your Own Creation program. Individuals or teams of two spent the semester exploring dairy recipes before submitting their creations with photographs for judging. Judges announced winners from 13 schools. Claire’s winning entry was a cheesy ricotta gnocchi. She said she did not expect to be a winner considering the number of students who had entered the competition. “It’s pretty cool because there were many entries and so many good recipes,” she said. Great Ocean Road senior brand manager Tracy Wong said promotion organisers were impressed by the creativity and imagination of the students.

price of about $200,000. The Horsham council’s split vote reflected community concerns some residents had raised since the project announcement. Cr Penny Flynn moved to grant the permit based on a need for more housing options and investment in Horsham and had support from fellow councillors Les Power, David Bowe and mayor Robyn Gulline. But Crs Di Bell, Claudia Haenel and Ian Ross, with primary concerns ranging from the impact on neighbourhood amenity and character to setting high-density development precedents, spoke and voted against the proposal. They were all supportive of development investment in Horsham but

Inspiring response T

BY DYLAN DE JONG

he impact of a cancer diagnosis on a Horsham boy has inspired his mother to support a cause to donate toys to children in need this Christmas.

Horsham mother Sarah Lee has been overwhelmed with support from Wimmera residents who have donated toys in support of a KoalaKids Toy Drive for children undergoing cancer treatment. Ms Lee was keen to support the cause after seeing the effect on her six-year-old son Braxton Williams, who has been battling cancer for nearly two years. Braxton was diagnosed with a brain tumour in January last year at just five years of age and is still undergoing treatment. Ms Lee shared a social media post to back the toy drive and has since gained support from more than 70 people and a Horsham business. “I’m honestly blown away with the response I’ve had with this,” she said. “This was something that is really close to my heart given Braxton spent a lot of time at the children’s hospital last year. “When I heard they weren’t able to decorate the hospital like they normally would, I got quite emotional and I just really wanted to make this toy drive really big.” Croc’s Playcentre Hoppers Crossing has joined with KoalaKids and is the collection point for toy donations. Ms Lee said due to the quantity of items she had received she would

Picture: DYLAN DE JONG GIVING BACK: Horsham mother Sarah Lee is collecting toys and gifts for patients receiving cancer treament. Ms Lee’s son Braxton Williams has been undergoing cancer treatment at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER need help to transport the toys to Melbourne. “I’ll be going down on December 13 and 14 and will be dropping off a boot load of toys,” she said. “If there is anyone else looking to get on board, we’re happy to take donations. “But if there was anyone who could donate a truck so we can transport the toys that would be great as well.” Ms Lee said her family’s efforts were a product of wanting to give back after Wimmera businesses and residents helped raise nearly $50,000 for Braxton’s cancer treatment late last year. “This is just my way of giving

back because we received so much support last year and I know what it’s like being in that situation where you need support from other people,” she said. “Now that we’re in a better situation this year, I just want to help those who are in that time of need.” Ms Lee said all items needed to be branded and in packaging due to the health risks associated with COVID-19 and cater for all ages from newborns up to teens. “Children can be in hospital for quite long periods of time, so something just to break the day up for them would be nice,” she said. Ms Lee said people could donate until December 18.

Support for toy drop Organisers of a Wimmera event encouraging people to donate toys to children in need persevered with efforts at the weekend despite challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Salvation Army Horsham Corps and Harley Owners Group Horsham Chapter encouraged residents to donate toys and money at the Horsham Harley-Davidson McPherson Street store on Saturday morning. The toy drop replaced an annual Salvation Army Charity and Toy Ride, which usually sees more than 100 motorcycle enthusiasts ride from Natimuk via police escort to donate toys and gifts to the Horsham organisation. Harley Owner Group Horsham Chapter director Bopp Greenberger said the

group also donated $1000 to the cause. Money raised goes towards gift cards and other items. “This year being such a difficult year we thought we had to do something,” Mr Greenberger said. “It broke our hearts to think kids could miss out on a gift or a meal on Christmas Day. “I’d suggest this year is likely the hardest year the Salvation Army has had. They’ve been called upon a lot more and they don’t have the fundraising abilities they would normally have.” Salvation Army leaders encouraged anyone who would still like to make a donation to drop into the office at 12 Kalkee Road or call 5382 1770 to make other arrangements.

Passenger rail still on agenda A

return drive from Horsham to Melbourne for retired Wimmera farming businesswoman Kola Kennedy, 80, has prompted her to join a push for greater domestic passenger-rail services in the region.

Mrs Kennedy said despite being highly independent and an experienced motorist, the trip to Bentleigh on the other side of Melbourne for a medical appointment was ‘long, arduous and required full focus’. She said she had regularly driven to Melbourne to see her specialist but would prefer to be able to do the trips from Horsham via the convenience, timeliness and comfort of a reliable passenger-rail service. “I’m not into travelling in the confines of a bus and all the changeovers required – I consider that archaic in a modern Victoria and Australia – and the Overland rail service simply doesn’t have regular enough or necessary flexible scheduling,” she said. “When it comes to driving, as I’ve told learner drivers I have mentored, when you drive you must concentrate from the moment you open the doors to until you pull up and stop,” she said. “You must be on the ball and that’s alright when the job involves concentrating for an hour and you can stop, get out and walk around. But that doesn’t suit everyone, especially on the freeway or if you need to make an appointment on time. You have to be totally committed to concentrate – otherwise you don’t get there and become a statistic.” Mrs Kennedy said she felt like public-transport provision west of Ararat

SERVICE A MUST: Retired Dooen farmer Kola Kennedy at Horsham Railway Station. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER to the South Australian border had gone backwards. “We must have rail services that provide five-days-a-week connectivity and it should be from Melbourne to the border. If Premier Daniel Andrews doesn’t know what rural and regional means then someone should send him a dictionary and a map,” she said. “There is so much traffic on the roads – heavy B-double transports sharing motorways with everyday cars, and at speed. We can’t treat our highways like Europe’s autobahns. They simply aren’t built for congested high-speed traffic.” Mrs Kennedy said India still used rail services installed 100 years ago. “Many are antiquated yes, but at least it is a service they are providing,” she said.

“To the other extreme, Japan has technologically advanced bullet trains travelling in excess of 300 kilometres – and they lost the war. “Governments over time, in their lack of wisdom, have taken our services away. You only have look at an old map at Ballarat station of the rail services that were previously operating in Victoria to understand how far backwards we have gone – failing our rural communities in the process.”

Constant use

Mrs Kennedy said she was confident that if the Wimmera-Mallee had a safe, reliable and easily accessible domestic rail service, it would be in constant use. “We read about all the attempts to generate development opportunities from education to industry and so on,

yet the one fundamental service missing in the equation is decent public rail transport,” she said. “Why would people want to come to Horsham or other parts of the Wimmera when there is no appropriate public transport? I think it’s absolutely ridiculous when having all these dreams to develop our part of Victoria that we don’t have a necessary and modern passenger-rail service. “This issue has been the subject of so much community advocacy for so many years but for no result. There must be a way circumstances are made to change. “I’m sure these views run parallel to a multitude of Wimmera-Mallee residents. It is time any government in power realised that Wimmera-Mallee people are important.”

Centre a step closer The removal of an old sport centre in St Arnaud marks a major milestone for a project to build a multipurpose sporting facility in the town. St Arnaud Recreation Advisory Group, Sport and Recreation Victoria, and the Victorian peak bodies for AFL, netball, hockey and harness racing are finalising building plans for a project at Lord Nelson Park. Work is underway, with contractors removing asbestos after the old sporting centre was demolished last month. Northern Grampians Shire councillor Tony Driscoll said progress on the project firmed St Arnaud’s position as a strong sporting community. “There is nothing more reassuring than seeing the old Tote building being demolished,” he said. “It means we know the new modern, multipurpose sporting facility our St Arnaud community has been calling for is about to take shape. “This building is symbolic of our community’s love of sport and through constant consultation, is tailored to their needs – I cannot wait to see their response when it is complete.” St Arnaud contractors and businesses have been employed for various aspects of the project. A new upper roadway will provide access to the lower section of Lord Nelson Park and netball courts. This road will be sealed in the next few weeks, with traffic management in place to direct traffic or close off access during this process. People can visit www.ngshire.vic. gov.au/Lord-Nelson-Park for more information about the project.

A sign of confidence

Wimmera development leader believes the opening of a major new trade-based franchise in Horsham reflects a high level of business confidence the region.

Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness said the changeover of Wilson Street business Breuers United Tools to a Total Tools store was a massive market tick of approval. He said the development was even more significant considering it had occurred amid uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. “It shows that a major business franchisor has confidence in the Wimmera, southern Mallee and Horsham and also its partner franchisee – in this case Stuart and Tracey Hobbs,” he said. “This doesn’t happen unless there is a high degree of confidence all round. It is a very good sign from a business development perspective.” Total Tools, with a motto ‘Every tool, every trade’, has stores Australia wide and a claim as being Australia’s largest independent professional tools retailer. Mr Hobbs said the decision to become a franchisee was also about having confidence in Horsham and the broader Wimmera. He said the change has led to the Horsham store doubling in most areas of business. “We got to a point where we felt the region was strong enough for us to go up another level,” he said. “We had a staff of five, which has now grown to 10, we’ve doubled our showrooms, doubled our stock holdings and our range and service for

UP A GEAR: Total Tools Horsham franchisees Tracey and Stuart Hobbs. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER our community is a whole lot better. We’re also now open seven days a week so trades people can get their tools on a weekend. They couldn’t get that type of specialised product and service in the past. “We felt doing this was a way to bring something bigger and better to the area. Considering some of the projects coming into this community or that are already here such mining, wind farms and other large-scale projects, we have 100 percent confidence in what we’ve done. “We’ve already had people embrace

it. They’ve come in from deep in the Mallee, from South Australia and right across the region. It has created a big buzz in the industry. “It’s important to us that the other thing it does is stop people shopping out of town in Ballarat or Melbourne for quality tools – and at the same time other products they could get in Horsham.” The Hobbs family has been busy since an informal Total Tools switchover and will have an official opening ceremony on Wednesday next week.

Inf luential winner An influential First Nations leader with cultural ties to the Grampians has won an inaugural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tertiary award. Djab Wurrung and Gunditjmara woman Jodie Sizer won recognition in Federation University’s alumni awards during NAIDOC Week last month. The awards acknowledge the achievements of distinguished past students at the university. Ms Sizer said it was great to be recognised by Federation University. “They have such a high calibre of university graduates – to be recognised as part of that alumni is an honour,” she said. Ms Sizer has worked with tertiary institutions, governments, sports codes and major businesses in creating meaningful change for Aboriginal people. After she graduated with her degree in commerce in 2000, she moved on to become co-founder and co-chief executive of PricewaterhouseCoopers Indigenous Consulting – a consulting firm that has developed ‘a genuine business partnership with the world’s oldest living culture’. “The vision for our business is creating positive impact for Aboriginal communities and we do that in three main areas of economic development, nation building and digital innovation,” Ms Sizer said. She is also chairperson of Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies and is the first Aboriginal woman to be appointed to the board of directors at Collingwood Football Club. Ms Sizer said she hoped to con-

Jodie Sizer tinue to set foundations to create an all-inclusive Australia through her many leadership roles. “I’m driven to help create a future where Aboriginal Australians have their rightful place in the community,” she said. “I believe Australians can do better in working towards a future where we have greater self-determination, equal outcomes and where we can find our rightful place as the indigenous people of the country. “What I would love to see more of is indigenous women supporting indigenous women and creating spaces where we can come together.” Federation University presented the alumni awards at a virtual ceremony last month to celebrate recipients’ successes in their chosen fields of study and beyond. – Dylan De Jong

School funding boost W

BY DYLAN DE JONG

immera school leaders are rejoicing at a major State Budget money injection, which will benefit student learning outcomes for years to come.

Horsham Special School and Hopetoun P-12 College were among eight schools across the region to share in tens of millions of dollars towards school upgrades when the 2020-21 budget was revealed last week. Special school acting principal Megan Woolford said the school would look to use more than $8-million to upgrade classrooms and introduce wraparound support services for ‘vulnerable’ students. She said the money would allow the school to build new classrooms and explore introducing more therapeutic services and spaces for students in need. “We’re talking about some students who are the most vulnerable in our community in terms of their unique needs,” she said. “This funding will mean that we will be able to better target those complex needs and have more on-site therapeutic options available in the one place. “It’s a fundamental human right to have a high-quality education. Every student deserves that, no matter where they live or what their needs are.” Meanwhile, Hopetoun school leaders hope a $9.5-million boost will allow for a full rebuild of a school that has remained largely the same since the 1960s. School leaders, Yarriambiack Shire Council and politicians in the region have been advocating for Hopetoun P-12 College to be upgraded for several years. Principal Graeme Holmes said the college’s science and food technology classrooms had no capital works completed

He said while the old classrooms were the priority for upgrades, the money allocation would allow the school to completely rethink its options, with the possibility of a ‘total rebuild’. “Originally we were looking at just upgrading the food and science rooms, now we can totally rethink the entire school and layout,” he said. “If it’s enough, we’d be looking at a total rebuild rather than just an upgrade and modernisation. It’s proven that high-quality facilities positively impact on students’ learning. That’s one of the key factors we believe is really important.” Mr Holmes said architectural planning was taking place and a building plan would be finalised by the end of next year. Wimmera schools such as Stawell Secondary College and Rainbow P-12 College

will each receive more than $11-millon, while Warracknabeal Secondary College will use $19.8-million to complete a major education precinct project.

Commendation

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy commended the Warracknabeal community, including teachers, students and families, who campaigned the State Government for many years to receive a final round of funding for the school project. “It is because of their unrelenting advocacy that the government finally listened and gave this project the funding it deserved,” Ms Kealy said. “To everyone who gave their voice and time to the campaign for this project, thank you – your advocacy will make an immeasurable difference to students and teachers for many years to come.”

Major win for support project A project designed to help families transition pre-schoolers to primary education across the Wimmera and southern Mallee has won another major statewide award. The regional By Five project won a Creating Collaborative Community Partnerships category at Victorian Government Early Years Awards. The program won a Continuity of Early Learning category in the awards last year. Wimmera Southern Mallee Specialist Paediatric Support Partnership works on the program with municipal councils and health services across the region as well as Uniting Wimmera, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Royal Children’s Hospital. It extends to more than 50 health, education and family service providers working with

families with children, as well as the Department of Education and Training, and Department of Health and Human Services. The program, developed through a Wimmera Southern Mallee Regional Partnership, was up against fellow finalists InterG – Bubup Womindjeka Family and Children’s Centre in Port Melbourne and Ready, Set Prep in Fawkner. The annual awards recognise outstanding achievement in creating positive opportunities and educational outcomes. Judges selected winners from 115 nominations received in 2020 across the seven categories. As a category winner, the Wimmera-southern Mallee program will receive a grant of up to $15,000.

Wobbly Spoon at Natimuk Arapiles Community Theatre Natimuk is presenting a series of circus workshops in the town. National Institute of Circus Arts-trained performers No Mi Che and Dawa Che are leading the workshop series called ‘A Splash of Circus’. The series focuses on the disciplines of hula hooping and juggling, areas of expertise for No Mi and Dawa, also known

as Wobbly Spoon. After travelling to Natimuk after four years in China, No Mi and Dawa are looking forward to working with session participants. “A key part of the workshops is for participants to learn not only how to hula hoop and juggle, but how to make these items from scratch,“ No Mi said. The workshops are already booked out.

Farmers: Budget hits and misses

ictoria’s peak farming group has described the 2020-21 State Budget as representing a ‘mixed bag’ with ‘a number big-ticket items supported and others left in the lurch’.

Victorian Farmers Federation president David Jochinke, who farms north of Horsham, said farmers and regional Victoria were big winners with substantial investment into regional connectivity, agriculture skills and agri-food research. “$300-million to address regional telecommunication blackspots in populated areas is a step in the right direction for regional Victoria,” he said. “The next step will be to expand this investment statewide to ensure universal access to critical telecommunication and infrastructure capable of delivering for regional Victorians. “We are pleased to see significant investment in research and skills through the $2-billion Breakthrough Victoria Fund and the Agricultural College Modernisation Program. “It’s vital we educate and equip the next generation of farmers with the skills and opportunities to support our growing agricultural industry.” Mr Jochinke said while any investment into agriculture was welcome, it was ‘extremely’ disappointing major rail projects required to transport

produce from paddock to port continued to be the subject of neglect. “We’re still no clearer on whether the incredibly important Murray Basin Rail Project will be finished as originally planned back in 2016,” he said. “At a time when regional Victoria is crying out for investment to help lift us out of recession, the fact is billions are being spent on metropolitan rail projects, while the Murray Basin Rail Project enters its fifth year of uncertainty. “We are also disappointed the government has failed to secure access for Victorian farmers to an On-farm Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme by matching federal funding. “We hope the Victorian government finds the cash to assist farmers to invest in drought-proofing water infrastructure.” Mr Jochinke said the VFF was, however, delighted that some of its priority projects had attracted budget funding. These included: $30-million for an Agriculture Energy Investment Fund; funding to support Victoria’s agricultural exporters; funding to address regional telecommunication blackspots; funding to assess regional Victoria’s agriculture industry skill needs; and increased funding for fuel-reduction programs, including $5-million for roadside activities.

More money a ‘must’ for major road Member for Lowan Emma Kealy believes a $99,800 State Government allocation to repair a 570-metre stretch of a major Wimmera road falls well short of bringing the road up to an acceptable standard. She said while the funding for Dimboola-Rainbow Road was welcome, it was not enough. “Roads in western Victoria should not be al-

lowed to get to the shocking state of the Dimboola-Rainbow Road before they get fixed,” she said. “This road is regularly used by B-doubles and triples weighing in excess of 65 tonnes, which is causing huge damage to the road edges and resulting in drop-offs of up to 30 centimetres in places. “We need to drop the country road toll, and this has to start with fixing dangerous roads like this.”

HELPING HAND: Parents, Teachers and Friends Association president Carmen Dridan, left, donates more than $750 to Christian Emergency Food Centre manager Bev Miatke. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG

College support for centre A Horsham school will donate more than $750 to help supply food to people who are struggling financially. Holy Trinity Lutheran College parents, teachers and students helped raise the money with help from Conway Pies through an annual pie drive fundraiser. The school donated the money to Christian Emergency Food Centre to help supply food to people across Horsham and district. Centre manager Bev Miatke said the donation would help supply people with fruits, vegetables and non-perishable goods during the Christmas period. “We have a great variety of pantry staples including fresh fruit and vegetables that we

give out to people who are struggling,” she said. “We’re a not-for-profit organisation and all of our workers are volunteers so it’s amazing when the community gets behind us to look after those who are struggling in the community. “Numbers of people needing help are increasing at the moment.” Ms Miatke said the fundraising effort also provided an opportunity to teach students about the importance of giving back to their community. “I also think it’s great for the students at the school too, to learn there are people in the community who need help,” she said. “It’s good for them to re-

alise they can support other people.” The food centre is gathering supplies for its annual Christmas hamper campaign. Volunteers made more than 50 Christmas hampers last year. The college’s Parents Teachers and Friend Association, PTFA, president Carmen Dridan said giving back to the community was a key focus for the school. “This year given COVID-19 and seeing the impacts to the community, we wanted to give back as much as we could,” she said. “The community supports the school, so we wanted to find a way to give back to the community.” – Dylan De Jong

Kealy questions state’s priorities

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy has questioned government priorities in a 2020-21 State Budget.

Ms Kealy said she believed the government had missed the mark on supporting regional areas hardest hit financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms Kealy said she was ‘extremely’ disappointed, claiming the government had overlooked large areas of the electorate in the budget. She said while confirming funding for Warracknabeal Education Precinct and Baimbridge College in Hamilton was long overdue and a testament to the tireless advocacy of these communities, she was frustrated that the government had failed to commit any health funding in Lowan and relatively little cash for roads, despite some of them in the electorate being among the worst in the state. “Independent research published earlier this month showed communities in Lowan – particularly our border communities – were among the hardest hit financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, however many of these communities have been left out of this budget entirely,” she said. “As we’ve seen time and again, the government seems to have concentrated many of its priority and big-ticket projects on Melbourne and has not paid enough attention to rural and regional areas. “For example, West Wimmera Shire residents have had the dual challenges of COVID-19 lockdowns plus the added immense stress and uncertainty of months of border closures and restrictions, yet there was not a cent in the budget for projects in this community. “There are so many wasted opportunities in this big-borrowing, big-debt budget.

“While there are some long-overdue funds for some of our local schools, this budget has completely missed the government’s own benchmark of delivering for all Victorians.” Ms Kealy’s Nationals leader Peter Walsh added more, saying long-sought-after extensions to domestic passenger-rail services into the Wimmera were a notable budget absentee. He said farmers in the state’s northwest would also miss out on a ‘transformational’ Murray Basin Rail Project and would instead ‘be left off worse than before the project started with a cheap mess of broad and standard-gauge lines’. “Labor has starved regional Victoria of funds since it was elected to government. This year is no different,” he said. “Instead of providing an immediate boost across our state by funding shovel-ready projects, Daniel Andrews will borrow big for massive infrastructure in Melbourne that won’t be ready for years.

Webster weighs in

Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster also weighed in on issues surrounding the Murray Basin Rail Project. “It is clear the Victorian Government has disregarded the concerns of stakeholders and the needs of regional Victoria by refusing to accept their responsibility to complete this project,” she said. “Worse still, the revised business case was kept secret, with stakeholders left in the dark, and not given the opportunity to provide feedback.” She said the State Government was now attempting to shirk responsibilities ‘by adhering to a suboptimal plan with a totally insufficient funding commitment’. “This will result in an inferior rail system for the people of Mallee,” she said.

Little Horsham heroes unite The year of a global COVID-19 pandemic has presented major challenges to students across the Wimmera who persevered through two rounds of remote and flexible learning. But no challenge was too great to faze the little heroes at Horsham Primary School. Teachers encouraged students to participate in the school’s ‘Superheroes 2020’ dress-up event on Friday.

Year-one teacher Jess Hartridge said students dressed up as their favourite fictional characters or people who they considered their ‘everyday hero’ during the pandemic. “Students liked the idea that they could dress up as either their favourite superhero from the movies or someone who has had an impact on their life through the pandemic,” she said. “We’ve all had some sort of

superhero in our life this year – someone that has supported us through remote learning. “We had nurses, doctors and even students dressing as their mums and dads. Students also dressed up as superheroes from books and movies. “It was just marking the end of the year and getting students to recognise in times like this you really need a strong community.” – Dylan De Jong

Giving thanks to our volunteers

his Saturday, December 5 is International Volunteer Day.

This year’s theme is, ‘together we can through volunteering’. The unprecedented bushfires at the beginning of the year and now the pandemic has shown us the importance of volunteering and through it, what we can achieve. We feel it is a well-chosen theme that highlights the importance of critical volunteer services, such as meal delivery and non-medical transport, and the unsung heroes who put them-

selves out there to assist, even during unknown and sometimes scary times of what has transpired this year. These services can’t be stopped during a pandemic and have provided community members with either essential meals, or essential medical appointments. Importantly it has highlighted our community resilience in times of need and our ability to lend a helping hand to those who need it most. Essential services like these and others could not have happened without

amazing volunteers and the community organisations who support them. As part of International Volunteer Day we would like to say thank you to all those amazing volunteers who continue to make our community a better

place to live. This Friday we will be having an online morning tea to say a virtual thanks to these volunteers, so please head to our website or call the office on 5382 5607 to get details. We are extremely thankful for such great volunteers, before, during and as we navigate our way into the future and all that it holds. Volunteers truly are the backbone and very fabric of our community and contribute so much to the social cohesion that at times, we can take for granted.

Vectis Rural Fire Brigade will present its Pre-Fire Season Community Information Session differently this year. Rather than hosting a traditional community dinner and meeting, COVID-19 restrictions mean the brigade will run an outdoors community drop-in session at Quantong Recreation Reserve between 6.30pm and 8pm, Sunday night. Organisers have invited people from Vectis and Quantong, particularly new residents, to meet brigade members to discuss fire preparations and perhaps consider brigade memberships. They have also invited families with young children to inspect two fire trucks. Brigade captain Dean Hobbs said high fuel loads this year was a concern. “Residents need to be sure that our large vehicles can access their properties,” he said. “We encourage residents to call by for a few minutes on Sunday night and have a chat.”

She said the council would invite the public to provide feedback and suggestions for potential sites.

Superannuation success for women

hile women earn less and spend less time in the workforce than men, which sharply reduces their superannuation contributions throughout their working lives, there are simple steps women can take to boost retirement savings.

Simple facts

This inequality is simply due to women earning and working less. Women in full-time work earn on average 18 percent less than men, while almost half of all women in the workforce work part-time with an estimated 220,000 women missing out on any super contributions each year. This is simply because they earn less than $450 a month – the lower threshold for super guarantee contributions. Women also miss out on super con-

tributions because they are often absent from the workforce for extended periods while on maternity leave or looking after loved ones, be they children or other family relatives. When they do return to the workforce, it is frequently in casual positions or working for themselves, where the need to make super contributions is so often overlooked.

Check fees and charges

The solution lies with women taking control of their super and choosing the best possible super fund, which typically means low fees and good, low-risk investment options. Regularly check what, if any, personal insurance premiums are paid from your precious super savings. While insurance is essential while you are raising a family, as you get

with Robert Goudie CFP Dip FP Consortium Private Wealth

older, you might find your need for insurance diminishes. You might be able to reduce your coverage and with it the cost of premiums from your super. Remember to always check with your adviser before cancelling any insurances. Make sure you take the time to consolidate your super accounts into one low-cost super fund. Visit the Australian Tax Office website to consolidate your super or ask your adviser to do this for you.

Wherever possible, ensure you continue to make contributions throughout your working life, starting as early as possible and not neglecting your superannuation during periods when you are out of the workforce, working on a part-time basis or self-employed.

Maximise contributions

Make sure you speak to your adviser to maximise your contributions, and in doing so, minimise your tax bill at the end of the financial year. If you expect your income to be less than $52,000 in a financial year, make sure you take advantage of the Federal Government’s co-contribution scheme. By putting just $20 a week of after-tax income into super, you will receive up to $500 from the govern-

ment directly into your super account as soon as you lodge your tax return. That’s a guaranteed 50 percent return on your money and the best investment you will ever make. If you are earning less than $37,000 a year, you should receive the Federal Government’s low-income superannuation tax offset of $500. Both payments happen automatically, meaning you don’t have to apply or complete additional paperwork to receive them. Still, you should check your superannuation account to make sure these payments are there. If you need more advice about your super, speak to a financial adviser. • The information provided in this article is general in nature only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

The garden rock-art project is helping First Nations students in Ararat feel a connection to their culture.

The students have since planted an array of plants native to the Grampians in the garden. College First Nations co-ordinator Tahni Skewes said the project provided students with a sense of connection to their cultural heritage. “The students have all helped and are really proud of the garden,” she said.

Dark matter meeting set P

otentially ground-breaking scientific research underpinning the development of an underground laboratory in Stawell has gained momentum, with a gathering of Australian university representatives in Melbourne.

A new $35-million Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, overseeing Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, had its first annual meeting last week. The dark matter centre, at the University of Melbourne, draws in physicists from across Australia in partnership with key international researchers and institutions, to pursue the discovery of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious force that holds galaxies together and constitutes 80 percent of matter in the universe. Its existence is inferred from gravitational influence. It represents a major scientific frontier. The centre is the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and its researchers aim to make discoveries that could change the understanding of the universe. It is also designed to foster new and diverse talent in the spheres of astronomy, particle physics, direct detection, collider searches and dark-matter theory. This collaboration across such di-

verse fields is the first of its kind. More than 150 representatives from the University of Melbourne, Swinburne University of Technology, The University of Adelaide, Australian National University, The University of Western Australia and The University of Sydney provided updates on latest research during the gathering. The Stawell laboratory, one kilometre deep at Stawell Gold Mine, is under development. Primary excavation work in the mine is complete. The laboratory will feature a main research hall and an L-shaped wing for multi-disciplinary scientific activities. Federal and state governments each provided $5-million for the underground lab in 2019.

Project topics

Project topics presented at the Melbourne event include a SABRE dark-matter detector, new dark-matter theories, axions and future work. Centre Research Associate Dr Ben McAllister provided an update on The ORGAN experiment, based on an instrument designed to detect a potential dark-matter particle called axion. “We will use the ORGAN detector to find axiom, which is a promising dark-matter candidate,” Dr McAllister said. “It is one of several different dark-matter candidates that are being explored within the centre.”

SUPPORT: Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence vicechair Shane Podolski and Horsham College students William Goudie and Annabel Risson help to shine a light on violence against women. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

College students take a stand Horsham College students are standing up against domestic violence in support of a campaign launched in the region late last week. Students William Goudie and Annabel Risson are helping to spread awareness for a Wimmera Committee Against Family Violence ‘Shine the Light’ campaign. The students’ support came in a year when statistics showed rates of violence were up 40 percent in Horsham between April and June compared with the same period last year. “We need to take a stand against domestic violence and stand up for what’s right,” William said. “This year has been worse because people have been locked in during the pandemic. Talking about it is hard, but it’s important to seek help.” Annabel said women and children had the right to feel safe. “Every

woman deserves to be treated rightly by everyone,” she said. “If you hear of someone experiencing domestic violence you can contact the authorities.” Annabel encouraged Wimmera residents to support the cause. The students’ comments came after the committee launched a video for its ‘Shine the Light’ campaign on Friday. The 12-minute video started with a tribute to Australian women and children who had lost their lives to domestic violence. Wimmera residents also featured in the video with a short clip of them explaining why they supported the cause. Others shared photos. The video replaced an annual community walk the committee would normally run in November. Committee vice-chair Shane Podolski said the video was an effective

tool to reach audiences across the country and internationally. “The analytics show there have been more than 4500 people who have interacted with the video – it’s been viewed in England and America,” he said. “That is great because this cause is not just an issue in Horsham, it’s worldwide.” Mr Podolski said it was ‘vital’ the committee could continue to spread its message, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The support from the community has just been incredible,” he said. “I just want people to keep sharing the video – this campaign is not over. “I would love to integrate a video like this every year as part of our annual walk to use social media to our advantage.” – Dylan De Jong

Councils call out family violence

immera municipal councils are among local government and other agencies involved in Respect Victoria’s ‘Respect Women: Call it Out’ campaign.

Ararat and Horsham rural city and Northern Grampians Shire councils are among almost 80 municipalities participating in the promotion. The campaign runs as part of the global 16 days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. The campaign started last week and ends on December 10. Leaders of several councils have publicly declared a commitment to stand against gender-based discrimination and violence towards women. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said communities could not accept anything less. “While a lot of fantastic work has been done to ensure that women have increased access to justice and support, these 16 days are about having meaningful discussions, understanding that there is still progress to be made,” he said. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson said this was a time to promote gender equality and take a stand to end men’s violence against women. “We are running a number of programs to support the campaign including interactive art displays, information sharing and promotion of community services, and taking a stand as community leaders against all violence in our communities,” he said. Respect Victoria has partnered with the Municipal Association of Victoria to provide funding for councils to participate in this year’s campaign Ararat council has used the funding

RESPECT: From left, Ararat Rural City Council representatives Priscilla DiDomenico, John Matthews, Dr Tim Harrison, Brodie Cookson, Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong, Chandra Willmott, Robyn Hemley and Daniel Ferguson show their solidarity for a ‘Respect Women: Call it Out’ campaign. to buy orange t-shirts and hats to promote the campaign and encourage conversations about calling out inappropriate behaviour. Displays featuring useful materials about how to support the 16 Days of Activism will also be at the Ararat Library, fitness centre and council reception. “This year’s campaign is ‘Respect is…’, which we will use to guide our discussions this year,” Dr Harrison said. “As part of this campaign people are encouraged to think about how others who face discrimination are treated and to finish the statement. “Examples could include: ‘Respect is... treating others the way you would like to be treated’, ‘Respect is... supporting and encouraging others’, ‘Respect is... calling out harmful

comments in the workplace’. Dr Harrison said Ararat Rural City Council had in the past year updated policies on equal-employment opportunity; workplace anti-discrimination and harassment; and domestic and family violence. “Through previous years of this campaign, we had some great discussions. It has furthered our awareness of the issues many women face and helped us focus on promoting equal and respectful relationships between men and women,” he said. “It is especially important that we follow through with this to address the underlining causes of violence against women and embed our progress into how we treat all of those around us.” The Northern Grampians council is working in partnership with district artists, community service providers,

and other groups during the campaign. Instead of a community Walk Against Violence, usually scheduled for November 25, the council established an interactive art piece for the community at Shop 108 in Stawell’s main street. Pedestrians added handprints to the artwork last week and it is on display this week.

Resource packs

Businesses are also receiving council resource packs to help them recognise and minimise workplace violence and Northern Grampians Libraries are using children’s storytime sessions to focus on equality and respect. “We are working closely with our networks such as women’s health services, family violence networks, libraries and local businesses to spread

this important message and prevent family violence,” Cr Emerson said. Horsham council communities and place director Kevin O’Brien said the campaign was a time to promote gender equality and take a stand to end men’s violence against women. “We will be running a social media campaign to reflect on this year’s theme. Residents are encouraged to follow our Facebook, engage with their friends and loved ones, and share our ‘16 Days posts’ within their own social media networks,” he said. • Help is available for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing violence, by calling Safe Steps 24-7 on 1800 015 188 or visiting safesteps. org.au. People worried their behaviour might be harming others can call Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491. In an emergency, call triple zero.

Hydrogen project starts A

regional exploration into the potential of hydrogen as a renewable-energy source is officially underway in Warrnambool.

Federal Education Minister and Member for Wannon Dan Tehan has turned the first sod on a hydrogen research facility at Deakin University in the move that might eventually involve much of western Victoria. Wimmera development leaders are among groups closely following the hydrogen-power probe and how the Wimmera might be able to capitalise on any progress. Energy generated from solar or wind, a growth industry in the Wimmera, is likely to play a key role in producing hydrogen, which produces no emissions when burnt. Mr Tehan said the Hydrogen Training Testbed at the Hycel Technology Hub in Victoria would enable Deakin University to increase the industry application of hydrogen research. “The government committed $2-million over two years to the Hycel Technology Hub to support research and education in regional Australia, and to develop our hydrogen research capabilities,” he said. “The work will increase efficiency in hydrogen production, storage and use, which will positively impact Australia’s energy industry. “The project is consistent with the National Hydrogen Strategy and is an outstanding example of the benefits

of strong links between industry and universities. “It involves research collaboration between government, higher education and industry partners, including the City of Warrnambool and Australian Pipelines and Gas Association and Energy Networks Association, and is part of our government’s plan to invest in ideas and innovation in areas of national interest to help power Australia’s economic recovery from COVID-19. “This investment in research will complement the additional $1-billion for university research and $157-million for research infrastructure announced in the 2020 budget.”

Campus transition

The facility will work alongside a Future Fuels Cooperative Research Centre project investigating hydrogen compatibility in the reticulated gas network. One of the first steps involves transitioning Deakin’s Warrnambool campus to 100 percent hydrogen. Research will support a wider transition of existing natural gas networks for homes and businesses to hydrogen. Earlier this year, the Federal Government also committed $300-million to establish the Advancing Hydrogen Fund to support the growth of a ‘clean, innovative, competitive and safe’ Australian hydrogen industry. Alternative-energy advocates in the region are also pushing for greater research into the potential of other power sources such as biofuel.

EMERGING: 2020 Leadership Wimmera graduates and program manager Jessica Grimble, far right.

Regional leadership celebration Leadership Wimmera’s 2020 graduates have marked the end of their program year. Regional Leadership Skills and Business Leaders program graduates celebrated a year of self-development and leadership learning at a gathering in Horsham. It came after graduates shared their experience by way of prepared speeches online last month. Leadership Wimmera program manager Jessica Grimble said 28 people from 19 organisations had developed skills to contribute effectively and positively in workplaces and commu-

nity. For many, the weekend’s dinners were their first in-person meeting since the program began in February. “Our 2020 participants have spent most of their year-long program online – and it would not have been the year they expected, but one that likely brought many opportunities to learn and grow that were totally unexpected back in January,” Ms Grimble said. “Completing the program during the COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly posed challenges for everyone – from participants to facilitators and those behind the scenes – and we

don’t take away from that. But it also offered people a support network and chance to learn new ways to navigate the challenges that came their way.” Wimmera Development Association oversees Leadership Wimmera, which has supported the development of almost 600 emerging Wimmera and southern Mallee leaders. Program leaders have opened an expression-of-interest period for Leadership Wimmera’s 2021 program. People wanting more information can visit www.wda.org.au/leadership-wimmera or phone Ms Grimble on 0429 811 744.

Lighting upgrade to benefit childcare centre A $36,650 State Government grant will go towards a lighting-improvement project at Taylors Gully Park in Stawell, due to start this month. The Community Safety Infrastructure Grants are part of the govern-

ment’s Community Crime Prevention Program. Northern Grampians Shire Council is also contributing $3350 to bring the total project budget to $40,000. The lighting will be installed in

and around a car park and childcare centre playground and also light a pedestrian crossing. Marrang Kindergarten and Early Learning Centre will be among key beneficiaries of the improvement.

Answers: 1. Meteoroids are pieces of space debris that enter a planet’s atmosphere. As they burn up the resulting fireballs are called meteors or shooting stars. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground it’s called a meteorite. About a tonne of meteorites hit the Earth every day. 2. Being very stinky.

Wild return A bit more expensive, the Ranger Wildtrak X is back

ord Australia has revealed the highly specified Ranger Wildtrak X will be making a return to local showrooms for the 2021 model year, priced $200 higher than before, from $66,490 plus onroad costs in 3.2-litre form. Also available with the more powerful twin-turbo 2.0-litre engine, $67,990, the Wildtrak X is priced $2200 upstream of the regular Wildtrak automatic and offers a heap more visual flair over its donor vehicle. Included as standard is a genuine black Ford nudge bar, Lumen 20.5inch LED light bar, unique black

18-inch alloy wheels, ebony black wheelarch flares, unique front grille with sabre accent ‘nostrils’, rear sail plane, roof rails, box rails, lower front bumper insert, rear bumper, headlightfoglight bezels, mirror caps, fender features, door and tailgate handles, black side steps, illuminated front scuff plates and leather-appointed upholstery. Due in showrooms from early next year, Ford Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive Andrew Birkic said the Wildtrak X had always been a hit with customers. “Since we first launched the Ranger Wildtrak X in late 2019, it has proven popular with customers because

it built on those core thoroughbred Ranger qualities, while offering more personalisation for family weekends away,” he said. “With the arrival of the more aggressively designed 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak X, we aim to ensure it remains front-of-mind for intending customers.” While it once served as the bridge between the regular Wildtrak and the flagship Raptor, the new Wildtrak X will now slot into line behind the upcoming FX4 Max as the third-highestspecced Ranger pick-up. Whereas the Raptor and FX4 Max score upgraded suspension components, the Wildtrak X’s upgrades are

limited solely to those outlined above, meaning all of underpinnings and running gear is the same as the regular Wildtrak and therefore the rest of the dual-cab Ranger pick-up range. As mentioned before, both the 3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder, 147kW/470Nm, and 2.0-litre twin-turbo-diesel four-cylinder, 157kW/500Nm, will be available with gear shifting duties being taken care of exclusively by the familiar six and 10-speed automatic transmissions. Standard equipment on all Wildtraks includes an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB+ digital radio, sat-

ellite navigation, FordPass Connect embedded modem, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, rain sensing wipers and power roller shutter. Safety features meanwhile consist of autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, hill descent control, hill launch assist, tyre pressure monitoring system and active park assist. Ford Australia has sold 30,185 Ranger 4x4s this year ending October, enough to see it claim top spot ahead of the Toyota HiLux (26,459), accounting for 24.9 percent of the offroad ute segment. – Callum Hunter

Hardcore Huracán STO unveiled

amborghini has revealed the new flagship of its V10powered Huracán range with the Super Trofeo Omologata, STO, being the most focused, hardcore and extreme variant of the Raging Bull’s more affordable coupe model.

Described by Lamborghini as ‘a road-homologated super sportscar’ inspired by the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo and Huracán GT3 Evo racecars, the Huracán STO brandishes some of the most outlandish aero features and styling cues of any road-going Lamborghini to date, all of which are further accentuated by the radical colourways on offer. “Racing cars are always a strong inspiration for our design,” Lamborghini head of design Mitja Borkert said. “The Huracán STO exquisitely reflects the technology transfer from our successful Huracán race cars, displayed in every aesthetic detail.” Looking beyond the insane colours, the front end of the STO is dominated by a full-width layered splitter stemming up from the corners of the bumper to underline the badge. The splitter forms just one aspect of what is ultimately one single panel encompassing the entire front of the car, dubbed by designers as the ‘cofango’ and drawing inspiration from the allcarbon Sesto Elemento.

Savage louvres adorn the top of the front wheelarches which not only help with aero dynamics but also channel air out of the wheelarches themselves, thereby aiding downforce. Peeking over the top of the roof is an integrated air scoop which feeds cool air directly into the engine bay which is capped by a redesigned bonnet featuring dedicated air deflectors and a functional ‘shark fin’ designed to

channel more air through the gigantic adjustable rear wing. Housed within the engine bay meanwhile is the same 5.2-litre V10 as found in the Huracán Evo and Performante, developing 470kW of power and 565Nm of torque, -35Nm, all of which is put to the road by the rear wheels via a seven-speed dualclutch automatic transmission. Thanks to the extensive use of car-

bon-fibre among other weight-saving measures, the STO weighs 43 kilograms less, 1339kg dry, than the Performante, resulting in a 0-100kmh time of 3.0 seconds flat, 0-200 kmh in 9.0 seconds and a top speed of 310 kmh. While the top speed may be lower than in the mainstream Huracáns, Lamborghini claims the STO generates 53 percent more downforce and

is 37 percent more aerodynamic than the Performante. Braking power has also been stepped up with the STO able to pull up from 100kmh in just 30 metres and from 200kmh in 110 metres courtesy of aluminium six-pot front callipers acting on 390x34mm carbon ceramic discs and four-pot rears grabbing 360x28mm discs. Building on the extreme aero features, light weight and outright performance, the STO features the widest track of any Huracán, stiffer suspension bushes and anti-roll bars while rear-wheel-steering ups the handling stakes even further. Inside the cabin are full carbon sports seats wrapped in Alcantara, carbon-fibre trim, four-point harnesses and a touchscreen infotainment screen with performance data logging. According to Lamborghini chairman and chief executive Stefano Domenicali, the STO ‘is the purest incarnation of Lamborghini Squadra Corse heritage’. While it remains to be seen what quantities the STO will be produced in and if any will make it to Australia, Lamborghini has sold 93 new vehicles so far this year ending October, 30 units down on the 123 it managed over the same period last year. – Callum Hunter

113 Jamouneau St – Think you’re pretty good at renovating? Think you can handle any renovation? Well feast your eyes on this challenge. Everything needs work from the front fence to the back fence. The home is a sandstone block house and in its day would have been a very nice home. It has 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, family room, dining and assume nothing works. Outside there is some sundry shedding in average to poor condition. Everything on the property comes with it. So what you see in the photos or on inspection you get. This property is in poor condition and isn’t rentable without extensive renovations, which is why there hasn’t been any quotes on repairs. Buyers will have to make their own enquiries into the costs of the renovations.

22 McLean St – SPACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY - We are lucky to be offering this large family home for sale. The whole family is catered for with this home as it features 4 double bedrooms all with BIR’s and fans, ensuite to main, office, 2 living areas, kitchen with electric wall oven, gas cook top and pantry, free standing wood heater, evap cooler and ample cupboard space. Outside there are 3 separate entertaining areas, double garage + workshop with power and concrete floor, garden shed, 20 panel solar system and a double carport. The current owners have re-wired the home and just completed painting inside. The kids shouldn’t be late for school either with both schools only a short walk away.

118 Woods St – Set in the main street of Donald on a very prominent corner site is this large 1954 built brick veneer home. In the past this property has been set up as 4 units but in my opinion is best served a large family home or because it is zoned Commercial 1 there is an opportunity for a service business to utilise this high profile site. The home features at least 4 bedrooms, with option of maybe at least 1 more, the first kitchen has updated electric applicances, the 2nd is older with a wood stove, 2 bathrooms - 1 set up with disability access and 2nd with a shower over bath, vanity & a separate toilet. Outside there is a large store room, pergola/fernery & a single car shed.

50 Mandeville St – They make it look easy on the Block so you should be able to renovate this home in about 3 weeks. Seriously this house needs someone with very good DYI skills to get it back to a livable home. Water and power have been connected but aren’t now, not sure about the sewerage. The house is clad in mini corrigated iron and has 3 bedrooms, kitchen but no stove, bathroom with a shower and basin, lounge and a outside laundry and toilet. The property is being sold as is but the vendors don’t own the cars in the back yard. The block is approx 1000m2 and has excellent rear lane access.

Drung the one to beat C

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

an anyone beat Drung South in Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant competition this season?

The team is sitting pretty on top of the ladder, 12 points clear of its nearest rival. That nearest rival is Kalkee, which kept second spot after an easy win over Homers in round eight, 10-93 to 2-51. The Kees have had an inconsistent season due to revolving player line-ups in several grades, but are capable of playing some strong tennis. Paula Weidemann filled in as Kalkee’s number-three man teaming up with Jeff Friberg for a doubles win and losing her other two sets by narrow margins. Many of the day’s rubbers were hard fought, with Tim Broadbear helping Homers to two wins. Homers will meet St Michaels at Coughlin Park on Saturday, with the Saints out to atone for a loss to Horsham Lawn. Their match was the closest of the round, with Lawn capitalising on a successful start to triumph by two sets, 7-79 to 5-73. The fact four tiebreakers were contested, along with two 8-6 results, illustrates the closeness of the competition between teams two and four. Angela Nitschke won all three of her sets for the Saints, with Ethan McRae achieving the same feat for Lawn. Hor-

ACTION: Homers player Darcy Both returns a serve against Horsham Lawn Savage in A Special competition on Saturday. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG sham Lawn will find the going a little easier this week when it travels to play Central Park. The Parkers went from the high of their first win of the season to a tough encounter with Drung South. Ross McIntyre and Bayden Penrose prevented Drung from a clean sweep, defeating Dylan Emmerson and Matthew Hill 8-7. Drung South triumphed overall, 11-95 to 1-40. Drung South will have the home-court

advantage against Kalkee this week. The Kees will need to produce their most formidable line-up to be any chance of toppling this season’s benchmark. Tennis associations are now allowed to welcome back courtside spectators. Under Tennis Victoria guidelines, spectators are now permitted in the total venue cap. Physical-distancing, mask-wearing and contact-tracing rules apply. Ladder: Drung South 32 points, Kalkee 20, Horsham Lawn 20, St Michaels 16, Central Park 4, Homers 4.

Courts heating up Players were greeted with warm conditions for the first time this season in round five of the Stawell Tennis Club Bendigo Bank Friday Night Competition. On court, the action also heated up with Stawell Toyota and Carey Covers both enhancing their premiership credentials and finding themselves firmly entrenched in the top two. Mitre 10 would have liked its chances of causing an upset over leader Stawell Toyota following strong performances in previous weeks, however this was snuffed out early with Blair Hart, Jade Cross and Lewis Reading all leading the charge. Jonah O’Shannessy enjoyed a lift in tempo, stepping up into the number-two role, and despite a sluggish start bounced back to provide valuable support to his skippers. Big hitting Henry Clough, possessing one of the most lethal backhands in the club, continued his winning ways, as did youngster Tom Monument. Mitre 10 had solid performers on the night, however failed to threaten Stawell Toyota at any point. Leigh Johnston, participating in her first tennis campaign, played outstanding, never losing confidence despite a lean start

to the season and triumphing in all three sets. Holly Graveson, Jordan Austin and Richard Dodds were all heavy contributors, but it wasn’t enough, the final score line reading Stawell Toyota 14-150 d David O’Jones Mitre 10 10-128. Carey Covers narrowly avoided an upset loss, digging deep late in the evening to hold onto a 14-145 to 10-137 victory over Stawell Goldmine. Malcolm Raggart has been a welcome addition to the club and one of the more consistent players all season. Friday night was no different as he won all his sets and – along with Emily Davis – dragged Carey Covers over the line. Carel Chang and Larna Graveson continued their rich vein of form in the victory. Stawell Goldmine’s Fraser Dunn inflicted Hugh Carey’s first loss of the season, while some heavy hitting from Ben Martin, Luke Monaghan and Anna Sullivan saw them the victors in two sets each. Carey Covers now finds itself eight points clear in second, while Stawell Goldmine continues to try to break its duck. Ladder: Stawell Toyota 82 points, Carey Covers 76, Mitre 10 68, Stawell Goldmine 54. – Joel Freeland

Winning double A

BY TONY LOGAN

SUCCESS: Jason Ainsworth with Flaming Lucky, left, and Underplay. Picture: NATASHA RAVEN

rmstrong owner-trainer-driver Jason Ainsworth notched up a winning double at last week’s Ararat Harness Racing Club fixture.

A brief let-up from racing saw his rising six-year-old mare Underplay return to form with a solid victory in the $4500 Carbine Chemicals Pace. After a couple of ordinary performances back in early October, Ainsworth freshened up the daughter of Shadow Play USA before making a return to the racetrack nearly six weeks later. Drawn the widest on the second line, Underplay settled at the tail of the field for the first half of the 1790-metre contest, enjoying the slick tempo up front. Ainsworth made a three-wide move at the bell on the back of Aerodyne Guy – Michael Bellman – and both horses suffered a slight check down the back stretch but recovered to make ground. With the leaders out of gas turning for home, Underplay went on to score by six metres in a rate of 2:00.2 The mare is raced on lease from the Snell and Weston families by Ainsworth and his partner Natasha Raven. Later in the night stablemate Flaming Lucky made it a double for the Ainsworth-Raven combo in the 2195-metre Ararat Farm Supplies Pace. It was only the third career victory from 78 starts for the gelded son of

Courage Under Fire NZ but interestingly, all three wins have come from 23 starts over the past 12 months. After starting from gate five, Ainsworth managed to slot Flaming Lucky in behind the leader Lifeasweknowit – Jackie Barker – and enjoyed the run of the race throughout. The leader took Flaming Lucky to the sprint lane at the top of the straight and Ainsworth punched his charge through to score by 2.5 metres from Areyouohkay – James Herbertson – and Miss Chianti – Neil McCallum – in a rate of 2.02.7.

Other winners

Other winners on Ararat’s ninerace card included Danceforme, for part-owner and trainer Leroy O’Brien in the $7000 Pinky Point 2YO Pace. The gelded son of A Rocknroll Dance

USA and Shake It Up Baby NZ was first up from a spell. Just Be Yourself cruised to a 25-metre win in the Ararat HRC Committee Pace for breeder-owners Terry and David Lewis and trainer-driver Matty Craven. The four-year-old daughter of Sportswriter USA and Lewis’s former handy race-mare Whodyou Wantmetobe, seven wins, was first up after a decent spell and made it two wins from six starts. The Grant Campbell-Kerryn Manning team took out the lucky last at Ararat, a $7000 pace over 2195 metres. Poised one out one back at the bell, Manning angled down into the sprint lane at the 600-metre mark and was able to overhaul the leader Madazalways – Matthew Horsnell – in the final stages and score by four metres in a rate of 2:00.1.

Cougars pursue league change K

aniva-Leeor United has applied to join Horsham District Football Netball League for the 2021 season.

The Cougars, affiliated with cross-border Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara league, voted at a meeting last week to pursue the change. The joint football-netball club now has to present its case to Horsham District league board for assessment and a decision. A meeting is scheduled for today. The Cougars’ move comes after an exploration last month into a potential merger between Kaniva-Leeor United and neighbouring Wimmera league club Nhill. The Cougars were keen for the merger but Nhill voted against the proposal. AFL Wimmera Mallee region manager Jason Muldoon, who attended the Cougars’ meeting, said Horsham District league’s board could accept or reject the application and there was an appeals process in place. “While Kaniva-Leeor United plays in a primarily South Australian competition the club comes under the AFL Wimmera Mallee umbrella,” he said. “We’ve been in constant dialogue with the South Australian National Football League and like us, their main objective is to ensure the club has the best opportunity to play footy and netball in 2021. We will be providing full support for that to happen.”

Millar judges young talent

With the COVID-19 pandemic placing community football into recess this year, speculation continues to generate about the plans of other clubs in the region. Mr Muldoon said he had informally investigated word that Horsham District league club Jeparit-Rainbow and Wimmera league’s Southern Mallee Giants were considering a partnership. “After informal phone calls to both clubs, there is nothing official on the table at this stage,” he said. Kaniva-Leeor United president Jason Gordon said short-term and long-term uncertainty was the primary objective in the club trying to make a change to a Victorian competition. He said COVID-19 uncertainty surrounding Victorian-South Australian border issues was an immediate concern, while playing clubs from like-sized communities was a longer-term desire. “We just have to do the best thing we possibly can for the survival of our club,” he said. “It’s been a hard, long process to get to where we are and we want to be in a position to move forward. Time is of the essence, we need to appoint coaches and recruit players. No one knows what’s coming out of COVID. “At the end of it all, we’re desperate for Kaniva-Leeor United to maintain a strong football and netball identity.”

Wimmera youth flipped, ollied and bunny-hopped in front of world-class skating sensation Renton Millar at the weekend. The Melbourne skateboarder joined youth leaders across the region to judge skate competition Wimmera ‘Roll-In’ in a showcase of action sports at Horsham Skate Park on Sunday afternoon. Millar said the event attracted more than 50 amateur and intermediate skaters, scooter and BMX riders from across the region. “All the kids here are super passionate, they’ve got a good skate park and they know how to use it,” he said. “Most importantly, it was a really good vibe, and they were all really stoked to be here – they can all throw down some rad tricks.” Millar, who spent the past seven months isolating in Melbourne due to the COVID-19 pandemic, said he was ‘stoked’ to support the event. “It was really good fun. This is my first competition back – I’ve been in COVID-19 lockdowns for seven months,” he said. Millar’s professional career, spanning more than 20 years,

RAD TRICKS: Horsham skater Ruben Elliot competes in a Wimmera ‘Roll-In’ open skate competition. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG has allowed him to compete throughout the world. He said before the pandemic hit Australia in March he had planned for a big year of backto-back competitions. “I was planning a trip to Peru, the world champs in China and then off to the Olympics,” he said. “Because there’s so much COVID around the world I just can’t predict what the new year will bring, but in the meantime, I’ll definitely be doing a lot of events across Australia.” The pro-skater also helped

run skate clinics at Rainbow P-12 College, Jeparit Primary School and in Yarriambiack Shire earlier this week. He said he hoped the events would inspire young people to continue to pursue opportunities in skating. “These kids spend a lot of time on their skateboards, scooters and bikes, so it’s great to be able to give them a day specially for them at the skate park,” he said. Victorian Youth Week runs until December 15. It was postponed due to COVID-19. – Dylan De Jong

Youth Club edges ahead in Grampians cricket Y

BY ONE SHORT

outh Club had struck a blow in its tussle with Pomonal for fourth spot in Grampians Cricket Association by defeating the Tigers by six runs with 12 overs to spare.

Batting first, Pomonal managed 8-104 from its allotted 40 overs, a score the opener Lynden Brewis propped with 40, while the best of the Clubbers bowlers was Nic Baird with 3-19 from his eight overs. But the Clubbers’ opening problems from last season appear to have continued this season with both openers scoring ducks.

A solid unbeaten knock of 58 from Koby Stewart assisted by Baird, 28, enabled the Clubbers to get over the line with five wickets down in the 28th over. At Alexandra Oval in Ararat, Buangor-Tatyoon repeated its T20 win over St Andrews. Batting first, Buangor-Tatyoon reached 6-135 thanks to James Phillips, 29, and 25 apiece from Michael Harricks and Henry Armstrong. In their turn at the crease, St Andrews fell well shy of the target – 63 runs – as wickets fell regularly, with only Sam Summers, 29, defying the bowling. Best of the Hawks bowlers were

Harricks and Armstrong, with four and two wickets respectively. This week’s round features Pomonal playing Swifts-Great Western at Stawell’s North Park and Youth Club playing St Andrews at Central Park. Pomonal is struggling at the moment and the problems will continue on Saturday when it faces the Combine. Pomonal has a problem with its batting, it simply isn’t giving its bowlers enough runs to give the side any chance of winning. On the other hand, Swifts-Great Western, which has always been noted for its run scoring, has now added quality bowlers Jamie Bach, Jay Moody, Chad Gilmour, and Charlie

Neild to the team. This doesn’t bode well for the Tigers’ chances. Youth Club has an opportunity, at Central Park, to reverse an earlier defeat by the Saints in the T20 and keep in touch with the leaders. The Saints will need captain and batting mainstay Tom Mills to play and score runs and all-rounder Adam Haslett and Sam Summers to fire with the bat to give themselves the best chance of a win. This is an interesting game with a result that could go either way. On Sunday, the female Stawell Strikers will be playing their first home game at Central Park. So far they have had a win and a wash-out,

and I’m sure they would appreciate any support. Results – This week: Pomonal v Swifts Great Western at North Park, Stawell, Youth Club v St Andrews, Central Park, Stawell, Buangor-Tatyoon, bye. Last week: Buangor-Tatyoon 6-135 (J. Phillips 29, M. Harricks 25no, H. Armstrong 25no) d St Andrews 73 (S. Summers 29; M. Harricks 4-19), Youth Club 5-110 (K. Stewart 58no, N. Baird 28) d Pomonal 8-104 (L. Brewis 30; N. Baird 3-19). Ladder: Buangor-Tatyoon 15 points, 1.65; Swifts-Great Western 9, 3.24; Youth Club 9, 0.93; St Andrews 9, 0.85; Pomonal 0, 0.29.

Test awaits Tigers at city oval BY DEAN LAWSON

ung Tigers will attempt to resolve an on-off-on-again string of form when they meet a strong West Wimmera outfit in Horsham Cricket Association A Grade action this week.

The Tigers were too good for struggling Horsham Saints last week but face a talented list of Westerners hungry to bounce back after a knife-edge loss to Noradjuha-Toolondo. Jung Tigers have been hard at work on their game but need to establish consistency to be a serious threat this season. Last week the Tigers did enough in Horsham to beat the Saints, making 9-159 and then bowling their opponents out for 112. Most players are contributing with the bat with Tyler Neville, 48, and Tyler Puls, 41, consolidating the innings from the middle order last week. With the ball, young medium-pacer Codi Kenny, 3-19 last week, is impressing and the return of off-spinner Jake McLean has added extra firepower to an eclectic arsenal. West Wimmera was flying and unbeaten until last weekend when it ran into Noradjuha-Toolondo at Noradjuha. The Westerners could take only five wickets while leaking 194 runs and despite more than a solid runchase, fell 13 runs short of victory.

ON THE HUNT: Brock Hamerston follows through with the ball for Horsham Saints at Horsham City Oval as Jung Tigers’ captain Angus Adams backs up at the non-striker’s end. Picture: DYLAN DE JONG

West Wimmera has a powerful lineup and will expose any fragility in the Tigers’ game. Austin Smith comes off a half-century and wickets, Mitch Dahlenburg made 34 last week and then there’s all-rounder Nathan Alexander, Brady Alexander and bowler Josh Lees to consider. Noradjuha-Toolondo will have fresh confidence after its success and will start a heavy favourite to beat Rupanyup-Minyip at Rupanyup. The Bullants have one of the best A Grade lists in the competition and when firing are hard to beat.

Justtin Combe, 39, Matt Combe 55, Josh Beddison, 35, Troy Dumesny, 24 not out, and Kent Hair, 18, all enjoyed time at the wicket last hit and would feel more than comfortable having Tony Caccaviello, 3-17, spearing a new-ball attack. Rupanyup-Minyip struggled with the bat against Homers, Connor Weidemann the only player to make it into double figures, and will have a tough job this weekend. The Blue Panthers made only 53 against the Pigeons and watched their opponents pass the score in only 12 overs with three wickets down.

History suggests the Blue Panthers will respond strongly and there might be some fireworks if Mark Mbofana can get going with the bat in the middle order. Homers seem to have settled despite the absence of some of its recognised veterans who have slipped back a grade to allow others to take greater responsibilities. The Pigeons take on Horsham Saints at Coughlin Park, with allrounder Craig Britten, 3-14, and Mohan Bandara, 4-19 and Adam Atwood, 38, in good form. Eyes will be on promising teenager

Jett Hopper, still finding his feet in A Grade and a natural batting talent. The Saints, meanwhile, must regather themselves after a tough start and feed off players getting results with bat and ball. Medium-pacer Jono Carroll collected a five-wicket bag against the Tigers and Corey Smith, 47, reminded everyone why he bats at first drop for the Saints. Shefat Rahman also showed good signs with 27. This should be a good contest. Results – This week: Horsham Saints v Homers at Coughlin Park, Rupanyup-Minyip v Noradjuha-Toolondo at Rupanyup, Jung Tigers v West Wimmera, Horsham City Oval. Last week: Noradjuha-Toolondo 5-194 (M. Combe 55, J. Combe 35, J. Beddison 35) d West Wimmera 7-182 (A. Smith 52, M. Dahlenburg 34; T. Caccaviello 3-17), Homers 3-56 (A. Atwood 38no) d Rupanyup-Minyip 53 (M. Bandara 4-19, C. Britten 3-14), Jung Tigers 9-159 (T. Neville 48, T. Puls 41; J. Carroll 5-23) d Horsham Saints 112 (C. Smith 47, S. Rahman 27; C. Kenny 3-19). Ladder: Homers 18 points, 1.72 percent; Noradjuha-Toolondo 18, 1.38; West Wimmera 12, 1.28; Jung Tigers 12, 1.11; Rupanyup-Minyip 12, 0.78; Horsham Saints 0, 0.36.

Teams shape up for rivalry clash O

BY DEAN LAWSON

ne of the great rivalries in Wimmera sport will continue in Stawell on Sunday when Grampians and Horsham cricket teams clash at Central Park.

Representative sides taking part in the 40-over-a-side match from noon reflect a snapshot of the best players in the respective competitions. In fact the line-ups include some the best assembled and in-form players from both camps for many seasons, guaranteeing an intense and willing struggle. The teams feature run-makers and wicket-takers aplenty with broad representation across a variety of clubs. Swifts-Great Western’s hard-hitting opening batsman and wicket-keeper Sam Cocks is captaining the Grampians team. He has association leading run-scorer for the past two seasons, Youth’s Club’s Nic Baird, with him at the top of the order and both will attack the bowling. Another prolific run-maker Jarrod Blandford from Buangor-Tatyoon has returned from a stint with East Ballarat and has put up his hand, SwiftsGreat Western opener Tom Eckel will be chasing runs and another regular opener Clayton Mackley, Pomonal, will be hard to dislodge if he gets set.

RUNS ON OFFER: Horsham joint captain Nathan Alexander, left, and Grampians batsman Nic Baird will be among players chasing runs in a big inter-association clash at Stawell on Sunday. Pictures: PAUL CARRACHER Rick Peters, who made a match-winning 90 for Swifts-Great Western in last year’s Grampians final, will be dangerous, as will his Combine teammate Charlie Nield. All-rounder Matt Heffer, while a regular wicket-taker for Swifts-Great Western, is also making runs. Also likely to have an impact with the ball will be St Andrews left-armer Adam Haslett, Jay Moody, who lets rip for Swifts-Great Western, and Chad Gilmour, another Combine representative and left-armer capable of generating pace and bounce. Another young quick trying to unset-

tle the Horsham list will be teenager and burgeoning leader Lachie Dalkin from Pomonal. The visiting Horsham team is unlikely to be intimidated considering the outfit is playing under joint captains Nathan Alexander and Matt Combe. Alexander from West Wimmera is a highly capable all-rounder with a licence to get the scorecard ticking over and Combe, Noradjuha-Toolondo, is an elegant stroke-maker and Victoria Country representative. Joining them in the top order will be West Wimmera’s Mitch Dahlenburg, coming off a power of runs and Justtin

Combe, who thrives in pressure situations and loves representative cricket.

Visitors

Horsham also has arguably the best new-ball operator in its competition in Noradjuha-Toolondo and Victoria Country representative Tony Caccaviello. Homers’ tearaway outswinger Mohan Bandara looms as a potential wildcard for Horsham and his Pigeons off-spinning team-mate Chaminda Gamage, armed with variations in pace, will be worth watching just for his fielding.

And then there is Nathan Koenig, an unorthodox and damaging batsman and naturally gifted wicketkeeper and teenage Homers project player Jett Hopper. Horsham association president Chris Hopper said he was excited about the game considering the lack of senior representative cricket on the schedule. “Some of these guys playing from both sides are going to be worth watching, especially in this type of format,” he said. “What could be better in cricket in our part of the state than a Horsham team up against a Grampians team. It’s fantastic.” • It will be a big day of cricket at Central Park. Action starts at 9.30am with two Wimmera Girls Cricket League 20-over-a-side matches. Two games will be on the oval with Stawell Strikers taking on Wimmera Mallee Belles on the turf and Wimmera Roos playing Horsham Sixers on an artificial roll-out track.

Croquet closes in on a century

immera Croquet Association is keen to use a major milestone year to encourage more people to play the unique lawn game.

Five-year sponsorship deal The Stawell Gift has taken a major step in securing its longterm future by signing a five-year deal with naming-rights sponsor Powercor. Victorian Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Martin Pakula confirmed the agreement as preparations continue for the return of Australian’s most professional foot race to Stawell’s Central Park in April next year. Next year’s Powercor Stawell Gift will be the 139th after officials were forced to cancel this year’s event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gift carnival is an iconic Easter tradition and has produced

some of the biggest moments in Australian sport. International athletes including Sydney 2000 gold medallist Catherine Freeman, renowned sprinters Asafa Powell and Maurice Greene and middle-distance champion Craig Mottram have all competed in the race. The State Government has provided $1.22-million across four years to the Stawell Gift to help generate growth of the Wimmera athletics carnival. As well as the Powercor sponsorship, officials have maintained equal prizemoney for men and women and confirmed a broadcast agreement with Seven

Network. In August this year, a new management board formed to run the event, which traditionally welcomes thousands of people to the Wimmera annually. Mr Pakula said the Stawell Gift was an iconic event in Australian sport that had a special meaning for so many people. “This partnership ensures that the gift will remain a fixture of Victoria’s Easter long weekend for many years to come,” he said. Stawell Gift Event Management chair Stephanie Spence said Powercor had a major presence in regional Victoria, ‘making them an ideal partner to power us into the future’.

The association is celebrating its 90th year and members are reflecting on how the sport started in the region. The association’s first meeting was at Dimboola on April 4, 1930 and play started in the same year with seven clubs – Horsham, Natimuk, Warracknabeal, Nhill, Dimboola, Murtoa and Minyip. By 1938, the number had increased to 14 clubs before competition went into recess during the Second World War. Wimmera Croquet Association resumed in 1946 but the number of clubs has since slowly decreased and now features only four clubs with about 100 members. Publicity officer Betty Etherton said the association played two different styles of croquet – association and golf croquet. “Unfortunately, our clubs and members are slowly decreasing. Many people residing in the Wimmera don’t even know of our existence or think it’s only for the aged,” she said. “Croquet is a very strategic, non-contact, challenging and rewarding game with minimal cost involved.

“Junior croquet is becoming very popular with juniors, especially overseas.” Originally all clubs played association croquet before golf croquet joined the schedule in 1996. A challenge match, involving both association and golf croquet, between Wimmera and Ballarat, started in 2006. Pennant competition features teams from each club and there are also singles and doubles championships. “Regional Golf Singles Championships are at Cairnlea in Melbourne and Regional Association Country Championships are at different regional association areas each year. We also play other social functions within our association,” Mrs Etherton said. Wimmera Croquet Association is affiliated with Victorian Croquet Association. “We have had a lot of success with our members winning Wimmera Sports Star of the Year, medals for country week and regionals,” Mrs Etherton said. “Ken Bald, Anna Miller, Fay Pearson, Neville Pope and Ian Rees have all represented the Wimmera, in either or both, the Victorian state team in Australia, and Australia in a world croquet competition overseas.”

After one of the toughest socio-economic years many of us can remember, it is critically important that we support each other and the businesses that make our communities strong and resilient. After all the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is with enormous pride in our community that The Weekly Advertiser team can present our Christmas catalogue to our valued readers. Not only have many businesses across our broad distribution area been dogged and pushed strongly through the disaster, they have also been more than willing to put their customers first with great deals and discounts. As a result, a profound message from our readers remains consistent – they ultimately prefer to be able to shop and access products from their home-town or regional localities. Our message is also the same. The Weekly Advertiser and its partner radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM continue to champion the philosophy of shopping ‘locally’. International online and metropolitan shopping opportunities have never been more tempting, but the bottom line is that neither can provide the level of personalised service available from our own businesses. In a positive development, the pandemic has nudged many of our Wim-

mera businesses into setting up their own online store capabilities and provided critical insight into what shoppers are after. Yet, it is still foot traffic that keeps Horsham, Ararat and Stawell, along with towns such as Nhill, Warracknabeal, Murtoa, Kaniva and Edenhope buzzing with business activity, especially in the lead-up to Christmas. It is a wonderful achievement, considering the 2020 we have had to endure, that our Christmas catalogue features many businesses which collectively represent a potential shopping bonanza. The BIG Christmas Catalogue is in its fourth year and our 2020 edition is about promoting the breadth of products and services available for people to add to shopping lists. Christmas shopping in particular is where people living in the Wimmera, Grampians fringe and Mallee and also visitors can benefit. Don’t fall into a common trap of believing prices for products available from some mystery online site are always cheaper. It is a common misconception. Prices are usually more than often competitive and of course come with the confidence generated with better follow-up services than are available online. Happy shopping!
