Potential from loss W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera leaders have been quick to identify a ‘ready-made’ investment opportunity amid disappointment of a failed multi-million-dollar horticultural project near Great Western.

They believe the collapse of Nectar Farms in its behind-the-meter project alongside Neoen Australia’s Bulgana Green Power Hub at Joel Joel could ‘open the door’ for other energyhungry industry. They have taken an optimistic approach while expressing frustration and disappointment in the revelation. Nectar Farms, which has gone into liquidation, had planned to develop a large-scale glasshouse agribusiness at the site. The concept involved the intense hydroponic farm tapping into and gaining financial benefits of renewable energy generated and stored on site. Northern Grampians Shire mayor Murray Emerson said he was relieved the Nectar Farms collapse had no effect on the Neoen hub, but expressed bitter disappointment in the failure of the value-adding project. “It is very disappointing. There has been a lot of time and money injected into this overall and there was a lot of expectation surrounding jobs, housing – everything that involved attracting people to the region,” he said. “As a council we’ve spent seven years helping guide the company with everything such as planning applications, buying land, you name it. We’ve pretty well assisted them from the start. “On the other hand, nothing has changed from Neoen’s point of view, which is pretty pleasing, not only from an opportunistic perspective, but also with their community grants program. “What we know is that there is a very valuable commodity out there called a wind farm, there was an attractive arrangement involving a value-adding business and the government involving directly accessing power. “We now need to look at that and see if any other business would like to get involved.

“It is a much more advanced landscape regarding renewable energy and opportunities for behind-the-meter projects than it was seven years ago. “It’s a hell of an opportunity and there is a bit of work to be done. But you never know, when one door closes, another can open.” In 2017, Neoen Australia, Nectar Farms and the State Government signed a three-way memorandum of understanding, representing a $565-million development. The deal, the first of its kind in the world, involved Neoen establishing a Bulgana Green Power Hub, now completed, alongside a 30-hectare expansion of a Nectar Farms greenhouse project at Stawell in staged development. It guaranteed Nectar Farms 10 percent of the power hub’s energy, with the remaining 90 percent fed directly to the electricity grid. Predictions at the time were that as well as creating 600 positions, the project would also support 930 indirect jobs. Wimmera Development Association executive director Chris Sounness echoed Cr Emerson’s disappointment and also optimism. “It is always disappointing when a privatesector partner in something like this falls over. But as we often know with these types of visionary projects, sometimes the project initiator provides the base for a second developer,” he said. “The opportunity for this type of large-scale value-adding project has been well identified and that means many of the uncertainties that might have existed for the starter project don’t necessary exist now. “The model would have been a world first if it had worked and it still holds weight. From a development perspective this is an idea that is now simply in a holding pattern. “Sure, this one didn’t happen, but the opportunity remains and the price point would remain very attractive because it’s power generated on site. History shows that where abundant energy is generated, growth is inevitable. “Our biggest challenge continues to be attracting capital from outside the region.” Continued page 3

Crisis accommodation plan Y

BY DYLAN DE JONG

ears of campaigning for greater support for Aboriginal family-violence survivors has paid off for a Wimmera advocacy group following a multi-milliondollar State Government commitment.

Family Violence Prevention Minister Gabrielle Williams visited Horsham yesterday to announce $9.1-million for safe crisis accommodation in the Wimmera to support Aboriginal women and children at risk of family violence. The refuge will provide ‘on country’ accommodation and support for Aboriginal victim survivors and their families living in Horsham and surrounding areas, while also creating eight jobs. The State Government plans mark the end of family-violence-prevention organisation Grampians Dhelk Dja Action Group’s campaign to bring the services to the region. Action group chair Joanne Harrison-Clarke said providing the support in the region would be vital for the healing process families needed after experiencing violence. “We have lobbied for more than two years. It has been a journey and we thought we wouldn’t get there, but we consistently raised the issue,” she said. “We were sending our women away three hours to Mildura or Melbourne to seek support, and now there’s a healing process they can do on coun-

try and not uproot their family or children to restart a new life.” Mrs Harrison-Clarke said the number of Aboriginal women and children facing family violence in the region was growing. She said providing this service within the region would remove a barrier for the increasing number of women and children who needed support. “There’s already a number of layers Aboriginal women face – they’re already going through domestic violence on top of maybe being from the Stolen Generation, going through the system and not having connection to family,” she said.

“Previously we were sending them away so we were creating more layers we don’t need to create, when it can be a safe healing process on country.” Minister Williams said the refuge would ensure victim survivors could be safe from violence while maintaining their connections with friends, family, kinship networks, schools, community and culture. “This is really important because it allows families to recover in those independent units as a family without the communal living that was characterised at older models of refuges,” she said. “It also provides access to com-

prehensive on-site support services.” She said the ‘core and cluster’ accommodation model would comprise up to six independent residential units – known as clusters – and an administrative support building – known as the core – on the same property. “Core and cluster refuges are the gold standard of family-violence refuges,” she said. “They comprise independent living units with a central building that provides wrap-around services on site.” Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative will operate the new service and construction will start as soon as an appropriate site is identified.

Potential from loss From page 1 Member for Ripon Louise Staley, meanwhile, demanded the State Government provide ‘direct, substantial and immediate’ help to Northern Grampians Shire Council to develop ‘new and broad’ economic opportunities. “The State Government brokered this deal and also committed money towards the project,” she said. “Either the money promised was never delivered to Nectar Farms and it was all a hoax or the government has lost taxpayers’ money. “Either way the government hasn’t come through with the goods. “I just know that in constantly talking with the council on this topic how much time and energy has been taken up. “It’s been on a weekly agenda in some way for several years. “The government has provided false hope and now needs to make good.” The government, through a ‘spokesperson’ released a statement on its position: “We have worked with Nectar Farms to provide support, however any financial investment in the project was always contingent on the company being able to achieve agreed contractual milestones. “As this has not eventuated, we have not provided any funding.”

Board chair: West Wimmera service well placed West Wimmera Health Service board chair Anne Rogers is confident organisational, governance and policy changes would prevent a recurrence of behaviour outlined in an anti-corruption report involving the agency. Mrs Rogers, in response to findings of an Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission investigation, said the ‘comprehensive’ changes had occurred since the 2017 resignation of former chief executive John Smith. She added the health service had also employed new leaders including managers, directors and officers and had appointed new board members. “West Wimmera Health Service has implemented numerous changes and initiatives to prevent a recurrence of the type of behaviour detailed in the report,” she said. IBAC’s Operation Meroo found the former chief executive exploited

Wednesday, May 12, 2021

weaknesses in the agency’s systems and controls for his own financial benefit and benefit of some close associates. It revealed he awarded a contract worth almost $1-million to a consultancy while in a personal relationship with one of its directors. It also found the organisation had a culture which discouraged employees from speaking up, its board of directors failed to govern effectively and did not ‘adequately’ oversee the former chief executive. John Smith, who died from an illness in Adelaide last year, was West Wimmera Health Service chief executive when the service formed in 1995 until 2017. He was previously Nhill Hospital chief executive for 30 years. Mrs Rogers said the changes included revised and strengthened governance, procurement and employment-related policies as well as a

review of all supplier contracts to ensure they met regulatory requirements and provided value for money. “The board has all but completely changed since around the time which the behaviour detailed in the report is understood to have ceased,” she said. “Each year the board assesses its effectiveness in discharging all duties relevant to its performance and compliance with regulatory requirements. This process includes the board benchmarking itself against other health services of a similar size. “An annual program is then developed to address any gaps identified in the above process.” The health group has also formed a procurement-review committee, project-control group and peer-support group for staff in the past four years. IBAC also identified issues with Department of Health and Human Services in overseeing the health service.

www.theweeklyadvertiser.com.au

It reported the department failed to take sufficient action despite ‘red flags’ regarding the conduct of the former chief executive. The report also found the former chief executive, without verification, inappropriately authorised payment of invoices to a company his relative owned several years after the work was allegedly undertaken. It found he also failed to declare and manage the conflicts of interest. It detailed how the former chief executive inappropriately spent the health service’s money on travel and hospitality, and regularly failed to comply with policies and procedures. IBAC Commissioner Robert Redlich said public-sector employees were expected to maintain strict separation between work-related and personal financial matters and only use public financial resources for work-related purposes.

“The failure of the former chief executive to do this resulted in significant costs to the health service,” he said. “Any misuse of public funds impacts communities and damages trust in public institutions, services and government. “The public harm is particularly acute in health care where the misuse of funds comes at the expense of delivering vital services affecting people’s quality of life.” IBAC recommended the health service and the Department of Health address the vulnerabilities identified in Operation Meroo. These include strengthening board capability and oversight, procurement practices and conflict-of-interest management. The Operation Meroo special report is available on IBAC’s website, www.ibac.vic.gov.au.

Residents dig in over farm A

BY DEAN LAWSON

group of Quantong residents remains defiantly opposed to a development proposal that includes establishing a wastewater farm at the Wimmera settlement.

Protester Sharnee Lockhart said after listening to proposals and assessing compromises developers were willing to make, the group remained vigilant in its stand. “I’m all for development projects like this overall going ahead. It is great for Horsham and I’m absolutely not against progress. But in this case it is simply not the right place to do it,” she said. “It’s okay for a developer to try to reassure us there will be no dust, noise or smell or other environmental issues. But we’re talking about a saline-water treatment area that is quite extensive and very close by. “It is hard to feel any sort of confidence. We fear if this goes ahead it can’t be reversed.” Mrs Lockhart, her husband Matthew and two children live nearby the proposed development site in Lanes Avenue, where the family also runs an evolving Gourmet Food and Flowers business. A Water Sustainability Farm proposal involves developing four evaporation basins and a drying pad at the Quantong site. The water farm’s primary role would be to provide ground-breaking manufacturing firm Australian Plant Proteins somewhere to truck wastewater and compost from its production site at Horsham Enterprise Estate. Developers outlined plans and heard concerns at a community consultation session. They have declared a willingness to explore some compromises to address resident concerns such as changing a trucking route to the site and removing compost-sludge drying from the plans. Farm director and agricultural entrepreneur Peter Blair has also since revealed the project is part of a multiuse plan that represented a value-add-

These included establishment of a native cut-flower farm at the site, a project requiring stringent environmentally friendly circumstances.

Lifestyle

But Mrs Lockhart said she and group members, most of them other nearby residents, remained unconvinced the proposal – ‘in any way’ – fitted in with the ‘peri-urban’ lifestyle of Quantong. She said her family had shifted to Quantong three years ago for the country and community lifestyle it offered after being involved in an intense commercial enterprise for many years. She added that part of an evolving family tourism business, which ultimately included providing patrons an outdoor dining experience, was at odds with the wastewater project. “This is our dream lifestyle that we are working very hard for and this

has been a bit of a hammer blow,” she said. “We need industry development in the region, but we don’t want burgeoning industries in conflict with each other. “It’s too close and it’s too sensitive and we’ve dug our heels in. It’s just not right for this area.” Fellow resident Dean Marshall said he was worried about the potential impact the project might have on the natural environment. “There’s a lot of wildlife there such as turtles, water monitors and endangered growling grass frogs. We’ve done a lot of work here to try to make sure those habitats stay intact,” he said. “When the floods were on all this area was washing right through there. So there is concern about what would happen if there is a major flood again and an impact of salinity through the whole area.” Mrs Lockhart said the core group

protesting the plans involved about 10 people and there were also informal petitions out gathering signatures. Wimmera Catchment Management Authority has requested further information from Environment Protection Authority, which is assessing the wastewater project, about design, construction and management. Australian Plant Proteins, about a decade in the making and a multi-million-dollar private-enterprise response to a Wimmera business plan, is rapidly expanding operations to meet international demand for its products. Its Horsham workforce is set to climb to 45 at its enterprise estate headquarters and potentially up to 200 if expansion plans, including a greenfield-site development, occurs in the Wimmera centre. Water-processing limitations in Horsham has meant it has had to pursue independent wastewater management, with GWMWater providing interim support.

Kealy: Fix rural roads Member for Lowan Emma Kealy has called on State Government commitment to use its budget next week to get rural and regional roads ‘up to scratch’. Ms Kealy made the call following RACV support for the lowering of speed limits on regional ‘back’ roads. She said lowering the speed on these roads would ‘let the Andrews government off the hook’ for its ‘chronic’ underinvestment in country roads. “The RACV was advocating for speed limits to be lowered because it might encourage drivers to use betterstandard highways,” she said. “Unfortunately, highways in rural areas often aren’t up to scratch either and more often than not the back roads are the only way for people to get to where they need to be. “Comments that it would take too long and be too expensive to make country roads safe is typical of the city-centric thinking that is leaving rural and regional Victorians behind. “Simply slowing down country drivers and not spending money to fix roads and improve safety is lazy policy and treats country people with contempt.” Ms Kealy said the Andrews government had spent more covering cost blowouts on city infrastructure projects than it had spent in regional Victoria. “Labor has been in government for 17 of the past 21 years and has failed to maintain our regional road network,” she said. “Regional Victorians deserve their fair share. As more people leave Melbourne after continued lockdowns, our road network is only going to decline further, hampering the liveability of our country centres. “Country people deserve to have roads the same standard as their city cousins – they deserve to be able to go about their daily business safely and without being slowed down because of government incompetence. “The best way to make our roads safer is to invest in fixing them – not just installing wire rope barriers and lowering speed limits but actually rebuilding road surfaces and clearing vegetation from roadsides.”

‘Exercise your right’

immera Health Care Group life governor and Horsham health-service volunteer Bruce Johansen has added his voice to a growing opposition to a proposal for a merger between Wimmera and Ballarat health services.

Mr Johansen, in his 90s, has written a letter outlining his thoughts on the concept. Here is his letter. SIR, – Having followed with interest the media talk and some community comments regarding this, I feel that I cannot remain silent. I have given more than 30 years of my life as a volunteer with both the Wimmera Base Hospital and Wimmera Health Care Group, of which I was the inaugural president. My service began back in the late ’90s as Wimmera Hospice Care Committee chairman. As history tells you we were very successful and after much hard work with an outstanding committee, established one of the best hospice care services in Victoria, if not in Australia. Many readers will well know Anne Hayes, who was our first coordinator and remained so until her retirement. I served on the hospital board for 17 years, of which seven were as president, as well as 13 years on the division-two board of the Victorian Hospitals Association and three years on the VAH board, representing all of Victoria. Since retiring from the WHCG board some years ago, I served on the Wimmera Health Care Group

Foundation and a number of other committees until I withdrew from active volunteering due to my age, leaving the task to younger and more able community members. During my time as president of our hospital I had the privilege of serving with our chief executive John Krygger on the ‘new hospital’ project committee, working with health department personnel, architect and builders. All this is in no way to try to ‘big note’ myself, but only to let those who do not know these facts that I feel somewhat able to speak with authority on this proposal. I had the opportunity to listen to the current board president and chief executive along with one other board member at Horsham East Rotary Club, where they came to speak to us with the objective of advising the benefits to our community of this proposed merger. After almost an hour of discussion and answering Rotarians questions, they were unable to offer one benefit to this community in such a merger. Neither in the press or in any of the very little information given to the press, has there been anything offered to make any logical reason to support this idea. What does concern me mostly is the fact that I see this as a Victorian Government idea which I am afraid is a ‘fait accompli’ as there is very little official comment coming from the health department. Adding to this is the fact that all board members are paid by their ‘masters’, the government, and really only give lip service to

the community who they are supposed to represent. As volunteers we had the ability to stand up and fearlessly have our say, many times in direct opposition to the views of departmental personnel. May I encourage many folk to exercise their right to voice their opposition to this proposal as once it comes into being it is too late and we are left with a very inferior service. What we need to push for is more services here in Horsham, remembering the vast area we serve as a base hospital. The aged care facilities have been below standard for many years and what was once the ‘new hospital’ is past time to be rebuilt, according to the health department, who at the time of building stated they only build hospitals for a lifetime of 20 years – this is long past. There is a growing number of people moving to the country and over the whole of the Wimmera the population is set to grow. Adding to this is the mining industry along with other proposed developments, all of which show a greater demand for a larger and better equipped hospital, not one that will deteriorate should management be based in Ballarat. I apologise for the length of this letter, but I remain passionate about our hospital and afraid of what is planned by others who hardly know where Horsham is, let alone Rainbow, Kaniva, Nhill, Warracknabeal and Stawell. Bruce Johansen Life governor, WHCG, Horsham

SKILLS SESSION: Longerenong College students, from left, Jack Scott, Hugh Nelson and Charlie Gardner learn how to maintain shearing equipment. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Students learn essentials Longerenong College students have been busy learning basic shearing and shed-work skills during a week-long course. The course exposed participants to duties including penning up, picking up, skirting fleeces and wool pressing. Instructor John Uebergang said the students were learning vital industry skills. “We get a new lot of students every Monday and they’ve been really good,” he said. “They’re a bit like sponges, they want to learn and they all work together as a team.” The short course also includes how to correctly set up a handpiece and grind combs and cutters along with the removal of wool.

“There are a lot of farmers out there who still have a lot of sheep and are doing an agricultural course, it’s important that they know what actually happens in a woolshed,” Mr Uebergang said. “For example, we’re showing them how to pull a handpiece apart and put it back together. “It gives them a break from shearing and teaches them how a handpiece operates, which is pretty important. “They mightn’t go on to do shearing but it’s important to know what goes on in a shed situation. “Some will go into the industry, but it’s more of an introduction for the students.” – Sarah Matthews

Water a must for quality of life

n the mid 1970s it rained… and rained.

In the Wimmera, for lengthy periods of time, rivers, creeks and channels ran consistently, lakes, reservoirs and dams were full to overflowing and cropping across large areas of land became impossible. There was so much water there was a community project called ‘Operation Long Hop’ to rescue kangaroos stranded by floodwater on Lake Albacutya. A group of teachers also canoed the Wimmera River all the way from south of Horsham to well beyond the terminal lakes. The circumstances, which had existed periodically in previous years and in some cases helped establish settlements, left a legacy spanning decades. When it came to water for sport, recreation and lifestyle, a generation growing up in the Wimmera-Mallee experienced times of plenty. How these times have changed. We now rely on a massive pipeline to guarantee water supply across a vast region and must carefully manage how we divvy up this ever-diminishing resource. Experiences from an overflow of water assets from yesteryear still burn brightly

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson in the memories of many who yearn for a return for ‘the good old days’. They know just how big a deal lakes and rivers are to communities when full of water and a perennial appeal for more recreational or environmental water allocations is far from surprising. Advocates pushing for more recreation water in Horsham district lakes are probably right in pointing out a need for greater water-sharing scrutinisation. It is an area, particularly in our part of the world, that demands constant analysis. There is much and many risks to consider. If, for example, more water suddenly becomes available for lakes such as Green, Toolondo or even Natimuk, how do we preserve the asset for community use? While we’ve come to accept evaporation is the great enemy of many of our popular recreation lakes, a harder pill to swallow is to finally get water for a lake and then

see its use limited due to blue-green algae blooms. Blue-green algae, a natural part of our environment but heavily influenced by landscape management, represents one of the biggest challenges in a recreationwater puzzle during dry periods. What’s the point of fighting hard for water for a lake, only to be unable to use the lake because of a toxic bloom? As we work our way forward in dealing with a changing climate and a finite water resource, finding a way to effectively work with nature to manage blue-green algae and other threats will become a greater and more important area of research. A series of wet years would probably resolve many issues for the short term and breathe new life into a parched landscape. But when and will these wet years return? Socio-economic studies have shown that water for recreation and the environment is worth millions of dollars to Wimmera and southern Mallee communities. Whether it be reshuffling the deck in watersharing arrangements, exploring ways to mitigate blue-green algae outbreaks or something else – we must try to get the equation right.

Classic supporters create sea of pink Breast cancer survivors, battlers and supporters started their Mother’s Day with a walk at Sawyer Park while raising money for an important cause. The annual Mother’s Day Classic involves a five-kilometre walk-run, encouraging people to get active while raising money for breast cancer research. Horsham Mother’s Day Classic committee member Jackie Exell said organisers were pleased with Sunday’s event, which marked a return to an in-person walk. While 2020’s event was a virtual one because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s instalment featured participants taking off in three waves. “It was a beautiful morning, we couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Ms Exell said. “We had quite a few on-the-day registrations, which was good. Numbers were a little bit down but hopefully they’ll be back up again next year.” Ms Exell said participants had provided feedback about the new format. “Some people felt because we walked in three waves rather than as one big crowd, it wasn’t the same,” she said. “We will pass on that feedback when we get the opportunity to, but we also understand that we had to make some changes because of COVID-19. “Fingers crossed everything goes back to normal for next year.”

Health groups to assess findings

“The overwhelming majority of individuals support Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services working together in partnership to improve health services and deliver better health outcomes in the Wimmera”

immera health-care groups involved in partnership discussions are likely to know more about how a western Victorian health-service landscape might look and operate in the next few months.

But whether that involves health-service mergers, a new Grampians regional overseeing health structure or retention of the status quo, remains an unknown. A consultation report has shown overwhelming staff and community support for Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services developing greater partnerships to enhance and improve services. But the communications and engagement report also stressed that autonomous management and representation and service provision were also important considerations. Wimmera Health Care Group board chair Marie Aitken said the consultations heard from more than 1000 individuals through surveys, workshops, focus groups, feedback forms, community pop-ups and submissions. “The overwhelming majority of individuals support Wimmera Health Care Group and Ballarat Health Services working together in partnership to improve health services and deliver better health outcomes in the Wimmera,” she said. “We heard that there are opportunities to improve local services for mental health, maternity, chronic illness support, dental, inhome care, orthopaedic surgery, paediatrics, heart and cancer.” Mrs Aitken said there was universal support for growing health services in closer partnership between the two organisations. “Now we need to decide the best way to do

this, including the option of creating a new health service to bring our two organisations together,” she said. “We learned there are some concerns about what a potential closer partnership between WHCG and BHS could mean. “These include maintaining local leadership and the WHCG name and identity, ensuring local health services are strengthened for both today and the future, and continuing a strong voice for the local community in its health services. We are committed to these priorities being met in any option.” The full consultation and engagement report is available on WHCG and BHS websites. Both boards are now considering the outcomes of the consultation report along with independent analysis from contractor Cube and stakeholder-engagement outcomes involving Edenhope and Stawell district communities. Stawell Regional Health and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital leaders have also indicated a willingness to be part of partnership developments. A voluntary amalgamation between Wimmera and Ballarat services, among considerations in partnership developments, has sparked major community and political backlash.

‘Fun and free’ workshops a hit Wimmera students are participating in a series of ‘fun and free’ workshops at St Brigid’s College, designed to extend and challenge participants in their areas of interest. The Bright Sparks program is open to students from grade four to year seven, with this month’s participants hailing from Horsham, Horsham West, Haven, Ss Michael and John’s and Murtoa schools. St Brigid’s teacher Ebony Hobbs said the program had expanded to include grade fours this year. “It’s going really well, they’re really engaged,” she said. “We’ve got eight workshops

World games in sight for Bates Having the opportunity to skate on the world stage has been a long-term dream for Horsham’s Dylan Bates. And he never thought he would be this close to achieving that dream. Bates, 19, has earned a spot to compete among Australia’s best scooter riders in a qualifying round of the Nitro World Games. The world games, set to take place in Brisbane later this year, is an annual extreme sports event organised by Nitro Circus. The event attracts professional athletes in freestyle motocross, BMX, skateboard and scooter disciplines. Bates will fly to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland tomorrow to compete in the qualifying round in Mooloolaba at the weekend. World champion scooter and BMX rider Ryan Williams hand-picked Bates among other talented scooter riders across Australia after seeing his skillset in a video he submitted for a trick competition. Bates said being selected was bringing him closer to achieving his childhood dream. “When the opportunity came up

for the competition, I thought I would just go for it,” he said. “I saw Ryan liked one of my videos and the next day I got an invite to compete. To say I could be going to compete among some of the best in the world is a pretty surreal feeling.” Bates said if he qualified he would attempt a triple backflip – a trick he is yet to successfully complete. “I’ve done doubles on a normal ramp, but given there’s a 40-foot jump, my aim is to do a triple – if I can walk away doing that, I’ll be stoked,” he said. “I’m definitely a bit nervous, but I know all the other boys will probably feel the same. I’m just going to go out and give it my best shot.” Bates said a big part of the sport was taking ‘calculated risks’ to impress judges and stand out among other competitors. “At my level, some of the tricks I’m trying to pull off can get pretty dangerous – you have to go into it knowing there is a risk of hurting yourself,” he said. “I use the skate park here in Hor-

sham to train, but I try to get to Melbourne once a week to train at the facilities there where they have foam pits – I need that kind of protection as well.” Growing up in Horsham, sport was always a significant part of Bates’ life, playing footy and first picking up a scooter aged 12. “It was always footy and scootering for me, but scootering has taken off more than anything,” he said. “When I picked up my first sponsor, I realised this was something I could keep doing.” Bates said he never thought it would be possible to turn his passion into a career. “Going back three years, I never would have thought I would get to this point,” he said. “I always had the thought in my head that this is where I wanted to get to, but I didn’t think I would ever be competing in the Nitro games among the best in the world. “It just goes to show if you keep your head in the right place and stay FEELING EXTREME: Horsham scooter rider Dylan Bates has been invited to dedicated, anything can happen.” compete in a qualifying round for extreme sports event Nitro World Games.

National deputy at business event

eputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack will be keynote speaker at a Business Horsham ‘Business Reimagined’ event on Tuesday.

Mr McCormack is one of several speakers at the event at Horsham’s Maydale Reserve from 9am to noon. Business Horsham is running a series of events to encourage small business to ‘think outside the square and move towards a new ‘COVID norm’ after receiving State Government money through a Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions Business Chamber and Trader’s Group funding round. Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the event provided an opportunity to showcase Horsham and the region. She said it would also provide Business Horsham members and businesses a chance to hear about what the Federal Government was doing to encourage a ‘tree change’ population shift and how this would impact on regional business communities. “We also have State Government Small Business Ministerial Council chair Stuart Benjamin who will be discussing life after JobKeeper from a small business perspective,” she said.

“This event is designed to provide business owners with information and guidance to allow for future planning”

– Stacey Taig

“There will also be Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman and Horsham Agricultural Society’s Andrea Cross to highlight the importance and impact of tourism and events on small business. “This event is designed to provide business owners with information and guidance to allow for future planning. “How businesses approach life after Jobkeeper, and how they incorporate tourism and local events into their planning, is essential for future growth. “Business Horsham dedicates its time to developing programs and events with tangible outcomes. This major event is one which we hope will not only see business owners walk away with food for thought, but also after having an amazing experience.” Ms Taig said people seeking more information about the event, which is free of charge, can visit website www.businesshorsham.com.au or email ambassador@businesshorsham.com.au.

Long road to 100th parkrun BY SARAH MATTHEWS

immera River parkrun leaders have been ‘thrilled’ to see community members and tourists re-embrace the event following a COVID-related break and are hoping for a big turnout for a special milestone.

Participants and volunteers will chalk up the 100th running of the event along the picturesque river course on Saturday morning from 8am. Co-event director Jackie Exell said although she felt the milestone was ‘a long time coming’ because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the parkrun community was looking forward to the weekend’s celebration. “We will have some decorations and that sort of thing, but otherwise it’s just business as usual,” she said. Parkruns are weekly, free, five-kilometre timed events run around the world. There are more than 400 locations in Australia and more than 2000 worldwide. Horsham running enthusiasts Andrew Sostheim and Candice Muszkieta announced in May 2018 they were working on a project incorporating health, wellbeing and tourism benefits along with an ‘underused’ Wimmera River. They and others launched Wimmera River parkrun in August and – bar a break thanks to COVID – it has gone from strength to strength. Ms Exell said community spirit and camaraderie played an important role. “It’s really encouraging and such a supportive community,” she said. “We often say parkrun is a misleading title – it’s not about running. “We don’t mind whether people run or walk or somewhere in between. You can walk with a friend and go out for a cuppa afterwards. “A few people who have moved to town said it was a great way to meet people. People come for all sorts of reasons, including for their health and wellbeing.” Ms Exell said there was also a tourism

element involved. Over the past few weeks, participants from Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, the Sunshine Coast, Echuca, Goondiwindi, Warragul, Hamilton and Mildura have completed the Wimmera course. “One of the unofficial parkrun challenges is to do a parkrun starting with each letter of the alphabet. Because we’re the Wimmera River parkrun, people come to us looking for their W,” Ms Exell said. “There are lots of unofficial parkrun challenges, so tourism is definitely a big thing. Plus, our course is very pretty. “It’s also nice and flat, so people come here hoping for a personal best.”

Personal milestones

Horsham teacher Rachel Hateley has completed all 99 Wimmera River parkruns to date and will celebrate her own milestone on Saturday. Ian Stansfield, a Balmoral resident originally from the United Kingdom, is chasing his 350th milestone in a few weeks. He runs in the 75-79 age group. “Ian has been amazing and shares his time between three different parkruns,” Ms Exell said. “We hope he’ll do his 350th here in Horsham. “Rachel’s achievement is also amazing. She has also taken on a few volunteer roles over her time.” Ms Exell said volunteers were vital to running the weekly event. “We have a good little core of volunteers,” she said. “We encourage everyone to put down their name for a role on a week they are available. “There is full training and support, but all the roles are simple. “It’s designed that way – you can come and do your job and be done within the hour, most of the time, and go about the rest of your day.” Ms Exell encouraged people to give parkrun a go. She said people could visit website parkrun.com.au for more information or to register.

Rachel hooked on weekly run Horsham teacher Rachel Hateley has one proviso when making plans to go away for a weekend – as long as she can leave after parkrun. Miss Hateley, 25, has completed all 99 Wimmera River parkruns to date and will chalk up her 100th event milestone on Saturday. She said she quickly became hooked on the five-kilometre event, which offers a variety of physical and mental wellbeing benefits. “My mum was one of the people who helped get it up and running,” she said. “I went along to the trial and to the launch event and I’ve been going along ever since. “Once I got to 50 I thought, I wonder if I could do 100. And here we are.”

Miss Hateley said she enjoyed the friendly, supportive environment. “No one ever comes last because there is a designated tail-walker,” she said. “It’s not a competition – you can go at your own pace. It caters for everyone. “I love participating, either as a runner or volunteer. Plus, once I start something, I’m committed to it. “If my family and I go away somewhere on the weekend, it always has to be after parkrun.” Miss Hateley said she planned to continue running the Horsham course for years to come. “It’s always nice to catch up with people,” she said. “It’s quite social and you can have a chat with other participants and

volunteers. I teach at Horsham West and I have seen some students from different year levels. They always give me a little cheer when I run past or cross the finish line, which is nice.” Ms Hateley said she had no plans to try out parkruns in other locations. “If I went somewhere on holidays and there was a parkrun, I’d do it,” she said. “But I love the Wimmera River one and I just want to keep doing that and keep trying to beat my personal best.” Miss Hateley encouraged people to attend parkrun on a Saturday at 8am.

Community sparks silo plan W

immera grain silos continue to provide a melting pot of creative ideas, with a towering landmark at Nhill the latest subject of a community project.

A Nhill group has launched a Nhill Silo Heritage Project to buy the town’s former Noske Brothers Silo and transform into some form of unique attraction. The group, in the process of raising $150,000 to buy and clean up the structure and adjacent Davis Avenue buildings, has already placed a deposit on the property. It has given itself until June 30 to raise the balance and after a meeting last week has planned a community presentation at Nhill RSL Hall at 7.30pm on May 26. Project spokesman John Deckert said the silo, which had claims as one of the largest reinforced single-cell concrete silos on the planet, was an historic and physical icon of the west Wimmera town. “My aim at this stage would be that we look to raise $150,000. That would give us enough money to get through the first year and time to do some planning and put in some applications for grants,” he said. “One of the things we feared was that the structure was at a price where someone could come in and buy it and remove anything valuable such as the timber and then walk away, leaving the community with clean-up bills and so on. “The group believes the silo is an important part of the town and should be preserved in some way. But we can’t consider what we might want to do with it until we own it. “It would really be up to the community or committee to come up with a concept that would have international appeal. We’ve an architect helping us

and a couple of others with international experience coming up with ideas. “It could be home to vertical gardens, an art gallery or something, perhaps with glass floors or special walkways that lead to a lookout. Perhaps as an alternative to providing space for a giant mural similar to other structures in the region, it might provide a massive screen for visual projections. It’s mind-blowing what it could become.”

Structurally sound

Mr Deckert said an engineering report had confirmed the silo as structurally sound, noting only a few cosmetic and other minor issues. He said the Nhill silo had the same specifications as a Horsham silo, except that it was about three metres taller. “The Horsham silo was built in 1918 and Nhill’s in 1919 to take grain from the 1919-20 harvest. It’s been taking grain every year since – 102 years,” he said. “Another point of interest is that when the flour mill at the site was completed in 1892, it generated electricity and opened the door for Nhill to become the first Victorian settlement to have electricity across the whole town. “It involved 160 houses and businesses and came only 10 years after Edison had developed a workable light globe.” Mr Deckert said the project so far involved about a dozen enthusiasts, with more than half keen to be on a management board and others willing to provide help and skills. “We’re keen to get as broad a range of people and volunteers of all ages and skills involved in the project as possible,” he said. He said anyone seeking more informa- TOWN ICON: Nhill silo, the subject of a community development tion about the project could call him on plan, provides an imposing backdrop to cricket action at Nhill’s Davis Park.

Two finalists

Halls Gap and Great Western are among finalists for Victoria Tourism Industry Council Top Tourism Town Awards. Judges shortlisted the towns in the top 22 small towns with populations under 5000. The Top Tourism Town Awards recognise and celebrate towns offering ‘special’ visitor experiences. Great Western’s entry centred on the town’s strong wine history and the award-winning wineries in and around the township. Halls Gap’s submission focused on the natural landscape, views, hikes, walks and family activities as well as high-quality food, beverage and accommodation options. Northern Grampians mayor Murray Emerson encouraged residents to vote for the finalists. “These small towns have a lot to offer for our residents and play an important role in attracting visitors and development to our region,” he said. “Voting is now open until May 27 and I encourage the community to support these towns by having a say.” Cr Emerson said people could submit votes online at www.vtic.com.au/ toptourismtown.

Regional v ‘regional’ in tree change M

ember for Mallee Anne Webster has spoken of a need for people to ‘literally’ expand their horizons when considering a shift from a metropolitan to regional lifestyle.

Dr Webster said many people had a false perception that moving to Melbourne’s outer suburban fringe or even Geelong or Ballarat represented the quintessential ‘tree change’. She said the idea of freeing up the congestion and urban sprawl and opening the overall state and country to socio-economic growth was about exploring and making the most of what the outer regions had to offer. “It is not just about shifting down the road or getting out of the city – it is people going beyond those boundaries to become part of communities, to breathe fresh air into regions and represent a true regional shift,” she said. Dr Webster said there was an obvious shift of people occurring, but there was yet to be enough data to paint an accurate picture of what was happening. She said a strong demand for housing in regional centres was providing some insight into a population-shift trend but many of the indicators were so far anecdotal.

“We don’t yet know for sure whether regional Victoria as we know it is truly benefitting from a tree change,” she said. She said it remained critically important that circumstances in the regions allowed for a decentralised shift to occur. “In terms of responsibility, I think all levels of government need to ensure that improvements to infrastructure are being targeted so people who want to move to the regions can readily do so,” she said. “Wherever I go, the issue of connectivity is one of the constant beefs I hear. “We have a lot more to do and part of that is the digital transformation for which we have announced major funding. “We need people to build businesses and lives in the regions and for that to happen people need confidence. “For example, we have to ensure healthcare provisions meet the expectations of urbanites. We can’t expect people to move beyond Ballarat if what they need isn’t up to scratch. “We’re desperately in need of a workforce and again, every level of government must ensure we’re as welcoming as possible.” The Federal Government has declared it will provide $130.4-million into improving connectivity in regional, rural and remote Australian communities.

Regional Communications Minister Mark Coulton said the government had seen how improving digital connectivity in the regions drove economic growth. “By investing a further $130-million in the Regional Connectivity Program, the Government is doubling-down on existing measures,” he said. “The pandemic has shown many Australians the value of the regions, both as economic powerhouses and as desirable destinations to live, work and raise a family. “In order to ensure regional Australians can continue to do the heavy lifting the nation asks of them, the government recognises – and is investing in – the need for improved connectivity.” The 2021-22 Federal Budget includes $105.8-million funding for round two of Regional Connectivity Program, although a high percentage is concentrated on northern Australia. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said the investment, an important element of the government’s Regional Budget Package, highlighted how important the regions were to all Australians. “With more Australians recognising the benefits of a regional life, the government continues to make significant investments in mobile and broadband infrastructure to support this trend,” he said.

DIAMOND DAY: Haven’s Geoff and Catherine Hill celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, with their daughter Sally Taylor, at Rooh Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Hills have much to celebrate in 60 years Haven’s Catherine Hill believes ‘give and take’ is the secret to a long-lasting marriage. She and her husband Geoff are celebrating 60 years of marriage, marking their diamond anniversary with lunch at Horsham’s Rooh restaurant. The Hills also enjoyed a family get-together on Saturday night. The couple met at Mrs Hill’s family farm at Kanagulk and married the following year, on May 6, 1961, at St John’s Anglican Church in Horsham.

They welcomed their first child, Sally Taylor, on their first wedding anniversary. “Having our first born on our first anniversary was very exciting, I can still remember it clearly,” Mrs Hill said. The couple went on to have three additional children, two girls and a boy. “One’s in Mildura, one’s in Longreach and one’s in Rockhampton,” Mrs Hill said. When Mrs Hill was asked the secret to a long and happy marriage, Mr Hill – a former stock agent – chimed in with, ‘I was never home’.

But Mrs Hill chalked up 60 years of wedded bliss to ‘give and take’. “That’s a big lesson for everyone to learn,” she said. “We’ve been fortunate to have good health and to travel. “We’ve seen lots of Australia together, which is a real bonus.” And what first attracted Mrs Hill to Mr Hill all those years ago? “His looks, of course,” she said. – Sarah Matthews

Celebrating a milestone BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ountry Women’s Association Horsham branch members are hoping their numbers might swell after welcoming a group of special guests to their 85th birthday celebration.

Centre for Participation migrant learners performed a dance at the milestone event, in CWA Hall in McPherson Street on Friday. Branch president Robyn Abbey said the celebration went well and she hoped several guests would consider becoming members. “We have 15 members and we would like more,” she said. “There’s a lot of ladies here from Centre for Participation today, who might be interested. They put on a dance for us, which was great.” The birthday celebration included a meeting, two-course lunch and birthday hat and baby photo competitions. Participants also enjoyed a birthday cake made by Marlene Schmidt. Several Centre for Participation migrant learners shared their experiences of the day. Migrant liaison worker Cecile Vence said engaging with the community was ‘such a privilege’. “Being a community engagement leader, I feel this is truly beneficial for us because it gives us the opportunity to learn more about the culture and the community we live in, and learn to embrace each other’s differences,” she said. “A huge thank you to their pres-

Food and dessert were delicious. I wish to join any activity with them again in the near future.” Maria Cecilia Mahmood said the day was ‘interesting and fun’. “I feel honoured being part of the event and I look forward to joining their future activities,” she said.

Hannah Lam said she would love to join CWA and spend time with the women, while Nerissa Navarro said she felt ‘loved and welcome because they are lovely and beautiful people’. “It was fun being with them. I am so interested to be part of their events,” she said. Along with encouraging connection and participation in community life, the birthday celebration also enabled the migrant women to practise conversational English. The Horsham branch meets on the first Friday of each month in

CWA Hall. Ms Abbey said the group had been busy and was looking forward to a state conference in Ballarat in the next couple of weeks. There will also be a state craft exhibition in Ararat later in the year. “We all enjoy being part of CWA, it’s a lot of fun,” Ms Abbey said. “A lot of times we just get together for lunch or something at a local restaurant. “Anyone who does want to join or learn more can come along or contact any of the members.”

Council outlines development Increasing the municipality’s population by 3000 residents in the next decade is among key targets of Northern Grampians Shire Council’s new economic development strategy. They council endorsed its Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan 2021-31 last week. The 10-year plan aims to ‘uplift the economic wellbeing and quality of life’ for shire residents. Councillors, council staff and a steering committee have worked on the project for the past nine months. Cr Tony Driscoll, steering committee chair, said the committee was proud of the ‘clear direction and visionary ideas encapsulated within the strategy’. “The steering committee for the Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan 2021-31 has done an amazing job capturing the key challenges our shire economy is facing, identifying solutions to these challenges and setting down a very clear action plan to improve the viability of our region within the current and forecasted economic climate,” he said. Along with increasing the shire’s population by 3000, the plan’s targets include: Lowering the median age to match the state average of 37 years; increasing the gross regional product by $200-million; attracting investment from government, industry and business into the shire as an ideal location for commercial enterprise and scientific research; increasing tourism through promotion of unique and diverse experiences within the region; and improving community engagement in economic decision-making through partnerships and direct liaison with the community. Mayor Murray Emerson said he looked forward to helping deliver tangible outcomes. “We aim to deliver on short-term objectives identified within the strategy via the council plan 2021-25 in accordance with our four-year term,” he said. “The strategy will position Northern Grampians to be one of rural Victoria’s most thriving, accessible and resilient regions to live, work, invest and visit.” People can visit www.ngshire.vic.gov.au//economic-development for more information and a copy of the strategy.

‘Labour of love’ out now BY SARAH MATTHEWS

history book featuring Wimmera families hailing from an ancient European ethnic group is now available in Horsham.

Ruth Walter and Karen Geurts spent four years researching, writing and producing, ‘The Rentsch Family in Australia – 1851-2020’. They are direct descendants of Johann Rentsch and his wife Maria, who emigrated to Australia from Saxony, Germany, in 1851. Mrs Walter, nee Rentsch, and Mrs Geurts, nee Herrmann, hail from Hamilton and live in Adelaide. They visited the Wimmera last week while launching their labour of love. Mrs Walter, who edited the book, said she, Mrs Geurts and a committee of family descendants collated the information, which included family trees, newspaper articles, anecdotes, photographs and stories. “Two grand-daughters of the original settlers married two Mibus brothers in the 1880s and they started purchasing land around Katyil,” she said. “They became quite well-known in the district. “There are many other descendants, some around Natimuk and Horsham – there are many descendants still living in the Wimmera.” Mrs Geurts said several members of Hamilton’s Lutheran community had written family history books, but the Rentsch book was the first featuring Wendish people. “The Rentch family is from a small ethnic group called the Wends, so it’s not your Prussian-German descent like a lot of your other German families,” she said.

The Wends are a Slavic race who hail from Lusatia, an area in the western part of Germany, now mostly located in the modern-day land of Saxony. “When I was young, we thought a lot of these people who we now know come from Wendish ancestry were from German-Prussian ancestry – they were just integrated into the German-Lutheran community,” Mrs Geurts said. “There was a pastor who did research and printed an article in the 1970s, he discovered half the people I grew up with in the Lutheran community come from Wendish background. “Nobody in my generation realised it.” Mrs Walter, on the other hand, grew up listening to her father speak of their family heritage. “My father was very proud of the fact we were from a Wendish background,” she said. “In the social structure in Saxony in the time in Europe, the Wends were considered peasants because they couldn’t own land, but they were tenant farmers for the Germanic people. “They became very successful, because when they came to Australia, they actually had capital to buy land. “Although they were classed as peasants, they were well educated. “They weren’t poverty stricken, they were people of means, but because of the social order in Europe at the time, that was their classification. “Because they had capital they could buy land and they were able to establish themselves quite quickly.” Mrs Walter said she enjoyed learning more about her family’s heritage.

FAMILY HISTORY: Ruth Walter, left, and Karen Geurts celebrate the publishing of their book, The Rentsch Family in Australia – 1851-2020, which was four years in the making. Picture: KELLY LAIRD “There is a Wendish society in Melbourne, so people have become more aware of this ethnic group, which had its own language and its own customs,” she said. “When doing the research, I connected with a museum in Saxony in Germany, because nobody in Australia speaks the language anymore, or understands the written word. “It’s an interesting ethnic group that still exists in south-east Germany and it’s been very researched now, because people are aware if people lose

Hindmarsh reappoints Wood Hindmarsh Shire Council has reappointed Greg Wood as chief executive for another two years. Mayor Ron Ismay said Mr Wood’s extended tenure would start in September 2021, until October 2023. He said the council was happy with Mr Wood’s performance in the role. “Under Mr Wood’s leadership, council is now in the strongest financial position since amalgamation and a strong governance position, as he has implemented numerous protocols and procedures to ensure strong, transparent and accountable practices are under-

Greg Wood taken and followed throughout all areas of council,” he said. “We look forward to working with Mr Wood for a further two years.” Mr Wood said he was ‘de-

lighted’ to be reappointed to the role. “I look forward to continuing to grow Hindmarsh as a strong small rural council,” he said. “We have achieved some fantastic outcomes for the residents of and visitors to the shire, however there is still a lot of work to be done across many sectors of the shire and with the positive strategic direction from council I am sure we can collectively achieve more great results. Cr Ismay said during his time as chief executive, Mr Wood had overseen many programs and projects within Hindmarsh municipality.

Divided community opinion over whether Horsham needs another pedestrian or vehicle bridge across the Wimmera River has prompted Horsham mayor Robyn Gulline to confirm both are part of overall city planning. Cr Gulline said development of a Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge and another vehicle bridge in a location yet to be determined were different projects and ‘totally different conversations’. Cr Gulline was responding to social commentary after Horsham Rural City Council voted to include a $2.1-million Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge in draft 2020-21 budget calculations. “As a council we are working in collaboration with Regional Roads Victoria to develop an alternative truck route through Horsham. This will include another vehicle bridge across the river,” she said. “These investigations are on another plan to the Hamilton Street bridge – they are not mutually exclusive and are totally different conversations. And the potential is that hopefully, in the long term and if we play our cards right, we can have both.” The Horsham council voted in a split decision to include the Hamilton Street pedestrian bridge in the draft budget because, while having yet to formally resolve funding, the project was still ‘live’. Councillors argued being in the draft allowed the community to have a formal say through a submissions process. The Wimmera River bridge, which incorporates Western, Wimmera and Henty highway traffic, is the primary vehicle river crossing in Horsham. Other vehicle bridges are outside the city proper. Horsham has a pedestrian bridge joining Southbank with Barnes Boulevard.

Choose the ‘right’ business structure

it’s

e might hear the terms ‘sole trader’, ‘company’, ‘partnership’ or ‘trust’ thrown around, but what do they mean and how do you choose the right business structure when starting your own business?

Business structure influences how a business operates – from decision-making and how profits can be used to tax and legal obligations. Each has its advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered against your individual situation. One of the simplest structures is that of sole trader or sole proprietor. It suits people who want to own and run their own business, with low set-up fees, the ability to hire staff and receive some tax benefits. Crucially, if a person operating as a sole trader is sued, their personal assets, such as their home, might be at risk. A company structure establishes a separate legal entity. Companies can vary in size and purpose, from an independent contractor setting up a one-person company with a sole director and member, through to listed public companies, such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, where other people can buy shares to invest. A company structure is a more expensive structure to register and can be more complicated to run. However, if the company is sued, in most circumstances, only the assets of the company are at risk and not the director’s personal assets. Partnership structures are sometimes used when between two and 20 people go into business together. Similar to the sole-trader structure, partnership liability is not limited to business assets so partners’ personal assets could be at risk. If deciding to go with this structure, you will

need to discuss with your business partners arrangements around the liability of the business’s debts and obligations. The agreement should be recorded in a partnership agreement. Trust structures are another option. A discretionary trust can provide benefits like flexibility in sharing profits among family members and capital-gains tax discounts. A unit trust, while less flexible, can provide certainty to multiple proprietors who are satisfied with fixed entitlements to capital and income. Trusts’ administration is more complex. Generally, a company should be used to act as trustee of a trust rather than individuals personally to protect the trustee should they be sued in relation to the actions relating to the trust. As people’s individual circumstances are different, you should seek advice from your accountant and solicitor on which structure best suits your business. • Patrick Smith is the principal of O’Brien and Smith Lawyers.

On completion, the building will provide St Arnaud residents and visitors with a multipurpose area for sports and community events equipped with various indoor and outdoor spaces, all-abilities and female-friendly amenities and commercial-grade catering capabilities.

Water momentum gathers A

group representing the interests of clubs and individuals calling for a greater allocation of recreational and environmental water for Horsham district lakes is exploring its next course of action.

About 40 people attended a public meeting at Horsham Showground to generate support for a push for greater regularity for Green, Toolondo and Natimuk lakes to receive water. Horsham Yacht Club, in the process of rebranding itself as Green Lake Water Sports Club, organised the meeting. Event spokesman and club member Justin Brilliant said the next step was to gain a concise picture of issues and opportunities surrounding recreation supply and to then call participants back for another meeting. “The thought is that in working through the processes in place at the moment, this issue will ultimately end up with the Victorian Water Minister,” he said. Mr Brilliant said representatives from various clubs, organisations and government agencies joined individuals at the meeting, which provided an open-dialogue format for people to speak and have their say. He said there was a general understanding of the finite aspects of water storage and supply but there were also issues that people quickly identified as unfair. “The fact that the Glenelg catchment is entitled to high percentages of environmental flows via the Glenelg River, which ultimately end up in the sea, was the most glaring,” he said. “The Glenelg catchment didn’t contribute to the Wimmera-Mallee Pipe-

Pelicans and other wildlife regularly visit Horsham district lakes such as Green and Toolondo and are among reasons why a group is lobbying for more recreational and environmental water allocations. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER line that resulted in considerable water savings. Yet it experiences most of the environmental benefits. “To the start of March, the Glenelg had received, including passing flows last winter and releases, more than 8000 megalitres. “That’s more than all the recreation water that’s gone north and that is surely a concern. “There seems to be a significant imbalance in not only water rights but also appropriateness in regional supply. “All Wimmera-Mallee people are paying a recreation-water surcharge.

Yet while we’re maintaining the system we’re not getting the recreational or critically, environmental, water we’re paying for. Instead, it is going somewhere that is getting it free of charge.” Mr Brilliant said a connective and key issue identified during the meeting was water-level trigger points required for the release of water from Rocklands Reservoir to Horsham district lakes. “With so much water going down the Glenelg River it is always going to be hard to reach trigger levels,” he said. “The reality is that if Green Lake could have received 1500 of the 8000

megalitres that has gone down the Glenelg, then both would benefit.” Mr Brilliant said people also discussed issues about the difficulty of watering Natimuk Lake, now restricted from natural overland supply because of landscape changes such as efficient conservation farming methods, and the prospects of returning water-skiing to the Wimmera River in Horsham. “What we need to do now is simply explore what is the most appropriate course of action and bring it back to another meeting in about a month’s time,” he said.

Invitation to join outing An appreciative audience of Horsham East Ladies Probus Club members enjoyed a Maria da Ros autumn-summer fashions presentation. Maria da Ros is a long-time sponsor of the club and annually presents an array of clothing as well as gift vouchers. Club president Ruth Walter had the duty of welcoming a new member into the Probus family, Claire Batchelor. Members were also excited to see a Paul Carracher photograph from The Weekly Advertiser on the club’s annual meeting feature on the front cover of the Victorian Probian, the official newsletter of Probus Association of Victoria. In other club activities, 30 members shared an outing to Halls Gap. The club is now encouraging people to join an outing to Barangaroo Winery at Lower Norton on Sunday. The party will leave Park Drive at noon and a charge of $15 is payable on arrival. The club expects to welcome another new member at its June meeting, with Chris Spence from Norton Estate winery the guest speaker.

School upgrade Work to upgrade parts of Apsley Primary School are underway. The State Government provided $42,120 for the works program, which includes installation of new shade coverings over a school sand-pit play area.

Employees can efficiently complete calls using teleconferencing software, many collaboration tools are now cloud-based, and work devices, including laptops and tablets, are light and portable. If you have been working from home, you have likely also set up a dedicated work area, and you are using your own electricity and resources to power your workday. But which of these items can you claim in your next tax return to ensure you maximise your return? Working remotely has become more common as companies began providing the technology to enable employees to work from anywhere. Research from Roy Morgan found that in early-2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down, 32 percent of Australian workers were working from home. This equates to more than 4.3-million people. It is easier for employees in certain industries to work from home, such as finance and insurance, public administration and defence, and communications. In contrast, more hands-on industries such as retail, manufacturing, transport and storage and agriculture still require staff to be present in-store.

MORE MUSIC: Exchange Hotel publican Nick Murray will use a $50,300 Federal Government grant to develop a live-music area at the rear of the Horsham venue. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Money for hotel music A

Horsham hotel has $50,300 in Federal Government funding to support its efforts to promote and develop live music in the district.

Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster confirmed Horsham’s Exchange Hotel was among venues across Australia that would share in more than $2.5-million in the second round of a Live Music Australia program. Dr Webster said the funding was designed to provide critical support for a live-music venue, which in turn would support the community and economy emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m pleased to announce the Exchange Hotel Horsham has received $50,300 for accessibility works and music programming that will feature a series of local, original artists,” she said. “This critical funding will assist the Exchange Hotel in creating safe and inclusive spaces for artists and audiences. The project will support the venue’s capacity for programming activity and support local acts.” Horsham’s Exchange Hotel has traditionally used a large outdoor shed area at the rear of the hotel for live performances. The Federal Government has pledged to help

‘reactivate’ live music across Australia through the funding program. Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said the grants were aimed at supporting the immediate needs of the Australian live music industry. “The Australian music industry is facing particular pressures in light of the severe impacts of COVID-19. That is why we are pleased to continue to support local venues to increase performance opportunities and showcase Australian talent,” he said. “Round two of the program is funding venues in every state and territory, from pubs in the remote outback, to clubs and theatres in major capital cities, assisting them to reopen as restrictions on public gatherings and live music performance are lifted.” In August 2020, the government announced the opening of the Live Music Australia program, which will allocate $5-million in funding annually over four years. Applications for round three of the program open later this year. For the list of round two recipients and for information on how to apply for round three, people can visit www.grants. gov.au or www.arts.gov.au.

Horsham revegetation program Horsham Rural City Council is taking online orders for seedling trees as part of its revegetation program. People who live in the municipality with a property 0.4 hectares or larger are eligible to order a selection of subsidised native plants. The tube-sized trees are 50c each and people can order up to 300 plants depending on the size of their property. Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the program had been popular for many years. “The rural revegetation program is a perennial favourite

with residents and it’s easy to understand why,” he said. “Planting native plants provides shade, improves air quality and offers habitat and food for local wildlife. “Not only that, but it adds to the natural beauty of our rural areas. “This year orders are being taken earlier in the year so that the plants are in optimal condition and delivered at the best time for planting.” Mr Bhalla said there were 20 varieties available as part of a 2021 species guide. “The three categories are

shrubs to four metres, small trees to 10 metres and large trees,” he said. “The most popular large trees over the years have been the yellow box and buloke, while golden wattles and callistemon have been sought after in the shrub varieties.” The council will process orders and payments on the council website, www.hrcc.vic.gov. au until June 4. People can collect plants from the council’s Selkirk Drive depot on July 2 between 8am and 6pm and July 3 from 8am to 4pm.

Rural Northwest Health has appointed Jodie Cranham as acting chief executive. Ms Cranham will complete a four-month secondment position while the board recruits a permanent replacement for outgoing chief executive Kevin Mills. Board chairperson Julia Hausler said a board sub-committee would oversee the recruitment process led by Fisher Leadership. Ms Cranham joins Rural Northwest Health from Ballarat Health Services, where she is executive director of aged operations. Ms Cranham has also been Grampians region aged-care hub lead, a leadership position created to oversee and support COVID-19 outbreak planning, response and management for aged-care providers across the region. “The role enabled me to work closely with public agedcare providers across the region and regional leads across the state to strengthen our capabilities,” Ms Cranham said. “I gained experience in outbreak management last year through two outbreaks within my programs, which were swiftly and successfully managed by our team of experts in infectious-disease management, aged-care clinical care and emergency management. Fortunately, we have not been required to manage any other outbreaks across the region.” Ms Cranham said she believed completing a four-month secondment position would provide her with an opportunity to strengthen her experience and understanding of rural health management, develop stronger relationships and collaboration to improve the care and health outcomes of the region’s communities. “I have always heard great things about RNH, especially in residential aged care, which I am very interested to learn more about,” she said.

COVID-19

VACCINATIONS now at The Wimmera Vaccination Clinic INTERACTION: Education support staff member Rachel Billett, left, and Flexible Learning Option, FLO, program co-ordinator Celia Fairley assist student, Seth, with his course work.

Flexible programs boost attendance

tudent attendance rates at Ararat College are on the rise this year with help from two nationally recognised intervention programs.

The school introduced Hands on Learning, HoL, and Flexible Learning Option, FLO, in term three in 2020 to help tackle student disengagement across various year levels. Specialist staff facilitate the programs and provide students with direction to tap into individual talents and interests. HoL engages students in hands-on projects at the school and school community, while FLO opens the door for students and their parents to work with a school co-ordinator to identify strengths, special interests and areas where the student needs support. FLO program co-ordinator Celia Fairley said since the introduction of the programs, student attendance rates had ‘dramatically’ increased. “A range of students, including some who would not otherwise be engaging with education at all, have close to 100 percent attendance in these alternative programs,” she said. “The feedback we’ve had from students is that they feel much more comfortable and confident coming along to the specialist classrooms than they do attending the main campus.”

School Focused Youth Service and Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network, CGLLEN, fund the program. Both programs operate out of a CGLLEN building behind Ararat College. School principal Ellie McDougall said she was grateful for the support CGLLEN had provided to the intervention programs. “We are extremely thankful that CGLLEN was willing to provide us with office space that we could convert into a specialised classroom for our FLO and HoL students,” she said. “Without access to facilities like this, we would not be able to provide our disengaged students with such vital learning opportunities.” CGLLEN acting executive officer Jane Moriarty said the organisation valued its partnership with Ararat College. “We jumped at the opportunity to support these programs and help disengaged students reconnect with their education,” she said. “Because we are sharing a building, we get to have frequent interaction with the students and we are blown away by what they are achieving. “The personal growth and development they experience as they progress through the program is clearly apparent.”

Road to recovery strong New record set for April sales

he strongest sign yet that the new-car selling woes of 2020 are in the rearview mirror has materialised, with a record-breaking month in April that saw a massive 137.2 percent increase over the same period last year, when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic first began to be felt.

The latest round of VFacts figures shows 92,347 new cars were sold in April – the best April result on record – well above the 38,926 from April 2020. For reference, it also represents a 22 percent increase over April 2019, when 75,550 new cars were sold. Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said the hot selling conditions showed renewed confidence in the state of the economy. “New vehicle sales are a direct reflection of the performance of the broader economy in terms of consumer and business confidence,” he said. “This time last year we were seeing significant impacts from COVID-19,

with less customer activity and inquiries to dealerships. “Historically, the April result is between 70,000 and 80,000 vehicles, so the 2021 result is very significant. “This sales trend is expected to continue as we enter the final two months of the financial year. “It also was pleasing to see increases in sales for rental vehicles across all segments. Growth in rental fleets will be an important building block supporting the recovery of the tourism industry across the country.” Mr Weber also acknowledged that despite the barnstorming resurgence in sales, there were still issues around supply constraints, with factory closures, a semiconductor shortage and the blockage in the Suez Canal all contributing factors. Leading the resurgence were SUVs, up 172.9 percent for the month with 49,176 sales, representing 53.3 percent of April’s total sales. Light-commercial vehicles were next with 21,714 units for an improvement of 130.1 percent and a 23.5

percent share, while passenger cars tallied 18,064 units – a 97.2 percent improvement for a 19.6 percent share. Aside from the huge overall sales improvement, the other big news to come out of the latest VFacts figures was the performance of the Ford Ranger pick-up, which trumped its main rival, the Toyota HiLux, to become the best-selling model in the country for April. Ford’s venerable pick-up recorded 5021 sales for the month, representing a massive 226.0 percent improvement over April 2020. Less surprising were the overall brand results, with Toyota again topping the tables with 20,208 sales, up 95.7 percent on April 2020 and enough for a generous 21.9 percent overall market share. Its total was helped by strong performances from the likes of the RAV4 medium SUV in second place, 4506 sales, 135.8 percent; HiLux third, 4222, 80.5 percent; LandCruiser wagon and pick-up range fourth, 3177, 98.2 percent; and Corolla seventh,

2073, 73.5 percent. As usual, Toyota’s dominance was followed by Mazda in second, with the Japanese brand cracking five-figure sales with 10,052 units for the month for a 10.9 percent share and a huge improvement of 232.6 percent. Mazda was represented in the top 10 by the ever-popular CX-5 medium SUV, which chalked up 2353 sales to finish in sixth place, marking a 263.1 percent year-on-year improvement. Rounding out the podium was Mitsubishi, usurping usual third-placegetter Hyundai with 7513 sales, enough for an improvement of 156.9 percent and an 8.1 percent share. Two Triple Diamond models found their way into the top 10 – the Triton pick-up in fifth and the evergreen ASX light SUV. The strong performance of the Ranger helped Ford into fourth place, with the Blue Oval brand chalking up 7146 sales, for a 7.7 percent share and an improvement of 217.5 percent. Strong performances elsewhere saw Hyundai slip to fifth with 5772 sales

and a 6.3 percent share, despite the brand recording a year-on-year increase of 156.9 percent. The only top 10 entrant for Hyundai in April was the i30 small car, which finished ninth on 2005 sales – an improvement of 188.5 percent. Hot on the heels of Hyundai was sister company Kia in sixth with 5707 units, followed by Nissan in seventh, 3500. Eighth place belonged to Subaru, followed by Volkswagen in ninth with Chinese upstart MG rounding out the top 10. While just missing out on a top-10 finish, Isuzu Ute had its D-Max pickup finish 10th overall for models with 1999 sales, up 163.0 percent yearon-year. Among the luxury brands, BMW pipped primary rival Mercedes-Benz Cars by just two units in April, while Audi climbed 243.4 percent over April 2020 to finish with 1281 sales. – Robbie Wallis

Mazda reveals pricing for MX-30 EV

The EV is priced significantly upstream of the mild-hybrid versions that arrived last month, which range in price from $33,990 to $40,990 plus costs. Its pricing pits it against the likes of the Hyundai Kona EV Highlander and Nissan Leaf e+. The MG ZS EV remains the cheapest EV on sale in Australia at $43,990. Available to pre-order now, the MX30 E35 Astina is powered by Mazda’s e-Skyactiv system that pairs a watercooled AC synchronous motor, inverter and DC-DC converter with a 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Peak power outputs for the electric powertrain are pegged at 107kW271Nm, with drive sent to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear transmission. Driving range is pegged at 200km, with Mazda saying it chose the battery size with its full-lifecycle CO2 emissions in mind, from resource extraction through to battery use and eventual disposal. Nevertheless, the MX-30 E35 falls

AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER: Mazda’s single-grade Mazda MX30 E35 is set to take on Hyundai Kona and Nissan Leaf electric vehicles.

well behind on power and range compared with its rivals, with the Leaf e+ producing 160kW-340Nm with a range of 385km from its 62kWh battery, while the Kona EV develops 150kW-395Nm with a potent 484km of range extracted from its 64kWh battery. Type 2 AC and Combo 2 DC charging connections are included, with an AC wallbox or 6.6kWh public charger able to charge the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in about three hours. Employing a 50kWh DC charger cuts that time to 36 minutes. A standard household socket will take nine

hours to charge from 20 percent to 80 percent. Mazda has taken its G-Vectoring torque control system and applied it to the MX-30 EV – called e-GVC Plus – which varies torque delivery to the wheels in the name of optimised handling and traction. The system moderates steering and throttle inputs to provide smooth handling and a stable drive character. Five stages of regenerative braking will be offered, while the throttle is equipped with a new feature that, according to Mazda, can realise the desired vehicle speed based on the driver’s intended acceleration or de-

celeration. Called a ‘motor pedal’, it detects when the pedal is depressed gradually or firmly and applies torque as needed. Synthetic engine noise is piped into the cabin to provide natural-sounding feedback for the driver. As a single, top-spec variant, Mazda has equipped the MX-30 E35 Astina generously, with standard spec extending to 18-inch alloys, auto-folding powered exterior mirrors with auto-dimming function, glass sunroof, adaptive LED headlights, rear spoiler and advanced keyless entry. Moving inside, the E35 Astina comes with a 7.0-inch instrument cluster dis-

Skoda shows off new-gen Fabia

koda’s smallest car, the Fabia, has grown up big and strong, with the newly revealed fourthgeneration supermini showcasing a new range of more powerful and efficient engines.

Due in Australia by mid-2022, the new Fabia is underpinned by Volkswagen Group’s modular MQB platform, with the wheelbase now measuring 2564 millimetres – 94mm longer than the outgoing version. The increased dimensions have invariably resulted in a heap more room inside, with the boot capacity growing by a considerable 50 litres to 380L, a figure which can be expanded up to 1190L by folding the rear seats down. Despite the new bigger body – 4108mm long, 1780mm wide – Skoda says the Fabia’s drag coefficient has been reduced from 0.32 to 0.28Cd on account of its sharp new styling, the features of which bring it much more closely into line with the rest of the brand’s portfolio, especially the nextsize-up Octavia. Under its new sculpted bonnet will be the option of five different powerplants, all members of the Volkswagen Evo family of three and four-cylinder petrol engines. At the bottom of the range will be a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre threebanger available in two states of tune, 48kW-93Nm and 59kW-93Nm, and

paired exclusively to a five-speed manual transmission. Above that will be two turbocharged versions developing a gutsier 70kW175Nm and 81kW-200Nm – the same engines currently offered Down Under in the outgoing model. The 70kW mill will also be paired solely to a five-speed manual, whereas the more powerful version will score the choice of a six-speed self-shifter or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Finally at the top of the range will be

a bigger turbocharged 1.5-litre fourcylinder mill pinched from the Octavia, developing 110kW-250Nm with the only transmission choice being the familiar seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Fuel economy for all the mills is rated at between 5.1 and 5.6L-100km on the combined cycle, with four of the five units said to be able to cover more than 900km between fill-ups when the 50L long-range tank is optioned. Examining the outgoing range, we do not expect the naturally aspirated

engines to get a start in Australia, however we do expect the 1.5-litre unit to materialise here, perhaps in the form of a flagship Sportline variant. As usual for a new model, the Fabia’s technology and features game has been stepped up considerably, with plenty of new gear being added both as standard and optionally including new-generation infotainment touchscreens ranging from 6.5 to 9.2 inches in diameter, Skoda Connect compatibility, dual-zone climate control, a 10.25-inch digital cockpit,

gesture control, Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto-Apple CarPlay, wireless charging and adaptive cruise control. In keeping with its motto of ‘Simply Clever’, Skoda has been sure to stack the new Fabia full of useful practicalities like smartphone storage pockets on the front seatbacks, a map and pen holder in the storage compartment in front of the gearstick, storage compartment on the tunnel in front of the rear seats with a cupholder and a removable sun visor for the panoramic roof. Skoda board member for sales and marketing Martin Jahn said previous generations of Fabia had attracted a huge fan base thanks to their compact size and practical interiors as well as their safety, efficiency, functionality and value. “Our latest, fourth-generation Fabia adds an emotive design and an even more spacious interior to the proven strengths of our popular entry-level model,” he said. “This will allow us to appeal to even more customers.” Skoda Australia has sold 257 Fabias so far this year ending April, accounting for a slim 1.6 percent share of the sub-$25,000 light car segment. – Callum Hunter

Hockey bye for junior championships W

BY SIMON KING

immera Hockey Association will break for a competition-wide bye this weekend for Victorian Junior Country Championships in Melbourne.

The association has no teams in the championships due to logisitical issues, but some Wimmera players are part of other association teams. Wimmera domestic competition will resume on May 22, with round five scheduled at Yanac where the feature game in open competition will involve second-placed Nhill Rangers taking on third-placed Warrack Hoops. Last weekend featured battles in open and women’s competitions at Dimboola and in both cases fast-improving Nhill teams took on Yanac counterparts with outright place on top of respective ladders the prize. In open company, Yanac Tigers and Nhill Rangers put on a great display of hockey. Yanac earned a succession of penalty corners in the first half but failed to capitalise, due mainly to saves by Nhill goalkeeper Kayden Rowe and solid defending by David Reichelt and Lee Marra. Tiger attacking moves eventually paid off when Jasper Croot got his stick onto a solid pass from Todd Alexander to get the ball past the goalkeeper and earn a lead at the break.

The second half was more even, with solid Nhill defence thwarting all attacks by the strong Tigers’ defence. At the other end, the Rangers’ forwards were also giving the Tigers’ defenders a hard time. Finally, with neither team able to score again, the Tigers earned the win and have now taken a six-point lead. Umpires voted Simon Farmers best for the Tigers along with Brad Alexander and Jamie Harding, with goalkeeper Rowe, Blake Miller and Jason Reichelt best players for Nhill. A shower of rain just after half time between Warrack Hoops and Kaniva Cobras forced teams to master a variety of conditions, but this did not diminish the intensity of the game. The Cobras had confidence in their quick, long-hitting game, which contrasted significantly with the Hoops’ shorter possession-style hockey and combined for a thrilling match. In the past five minutes of the opening half, Sandon Schultz broke a deadlock with a goal in favour of the Hoops. In the second half a field goal off Jarrod Knoop’s stick extended the Hoops’ lead. Half-back Royce Bennett was among the Hoops’ best players, as was Cameron Bardell and Ben Williamson. For the Cobras it was Clint Beattie, Lachie Mills and Max Goodwin. Dimboola Burras and Horsham Hur-

Picture: SIMON KING ricanes vied for their first win for the season, and after an even start, Zack Collard gave the Burras the lead after 10 minutes of play, to which Fraser Cullen and Cory Youngson added one more goal each before half time. The Burras maintained pressure on their opponents and ended the game with eight goals. Jason Harris, Fraser Cullen and Zack Collard were among the Burras’ best. William Gulline, Colin Williams and Tom Batchelor tried hard for the Hurricanes.

Women

In the women’s division, Nhill Thunderbirds challenged Yanac Women for

the competition lead. The game started evenly, but both teams failed to capitalise after earning several penalty corners. Some great saves by Yanac’s goalkeeper Natalie Farmers repelled solid Nhill attacks. Long hitting and fast runs characterised Nhill’s moves into attack, which contrasted with Yanac’s effective use of short, square passing, which paid off late in the second half when Charlotte Dickinson swept the ball into the goals. Erin Alexander followed this up to create a two-goal margin. Mikayla Farmers played a solid game on Yanac’s forward line, while Kellie Farquharson did well for the Thunderbirds.

Horsham Jets opened their account for the season with a win over Dimboola Roos, scoring twice in each half, keeping them in fourth place on the ladder and in touch with the leaders. Top players for the Jets included Clarie Barnett, Alana Morrow and Launa Schilling, while sisters Faith and Leah Eilola both played strongly for the Roos. Results – Open: Warrack Hoops 2 (goals, S. Schultz, J. Knoop; best, R. Bennett, C. Bardell, B. Williamson) d Kaniva Cobras 0 (C. Beattie, L. Mills, M. Goodwin), Yanac Tigers 1 (J. Croot; S. Farmers, B. Alexander, J.

District netballers back on the court T

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

hird-placed Jeparit-Rainbow and fourth-placed NoradjuhaQuantong will face off in match of the round as Horsham District netball action returns at the weekend. Both A Grade sides have dropped only one match for the season and will look to continue strong starts to the year at Quantong. The Storm has spent previous seasons towards the lower end of the ladder and will be keen to secure a finals spot in 2021. Georgia Batson and Breanna Eastick have been combining well in goals and will be out to post another high score on Saturday.

The Bombers welcomed back defender Brooke Pay before the bye and she will do her best to curb the shooters’ influence alongside Yolly Molineaux and Louisa Vague. Up the other end, the Storm’s defenders need to account for tall goalie Shannon Couch and would benefit from the return of Penny Fisher, if available. Both midcourts are in good form and the sides have several options depending on what is or isn’t working on the day. Much will depend on who is available, but it should be a good spectacle. The match-up between Harrow-Bal-

moral and Natimuk United should also be a good one, depending on who lines up for the Rams. If the Rams have Casey Vanstan and Jo Taylor in defence, Southern Roos shooters Kirby Knight and Lucy King will be in for a tough day. Natimuk United is still working on shooting combinations and whoever gets the nod will need to be on song against one of the league’s best defenders, Ebonie Salter. The Rams, sitting seventh, need to put a few more wins on the board to be competitive, while the Roos, in second, have yet to drop a game. Kaniva-Leeor United, fifth, is likely to stay in touch with the top teams

against a developing Edenhope-Apsley, 10th. The Cougars are travelling well and their height might prove problematic for the Saints.

Seeking first win

Pimpinio, 11th, will see this week’s encounter with Rupanyup, eighth, as an opportunity to get its first win on the board. The Panthers have four points on the board thanks to a bye against Taylors Lake, but have been quite competitive in some of their previous matches. The Tigers will be competitive but they are rebuilding this year and might struggle to get the better of the Panthers.

Ladder leader Laharum is likely to continue on its winning way against sixth-placed Swifts, but the Baggies will make them work for it in what should be a fast-paced encounter. Swifts goalies Michaela Armer and Jade Ralph are an accurate combination and it will be interesting to see how they withstand Laharum’s defensive pressure. Caitlin Dumesny and Maddie Iredell shot 66 goals between them in round four and the Baggies will need to find the right combination to quell their influence on the game. Kalkee has a bye.

Big games await A

rarat will need all guns firing to maintain touch with Wimmera netball league leaders when it takes on Warrack Eagles on Saturday.

The Rats are unlucky to be sitting seventh on the ladder after some narrow defeats, but face an Eagles side brimming with confidence after scoring a 39-36 win over Horsham. This weekend looms as a potential make-or-break round for teams with finals aspirations. Ararat slipped again at the line last weekend, this time in a 30-34 loss to Dimboola, and will need to maintain patience as well as form to change its fortunes. Jessica Taylor, Jesse Bligh and Monique Scott will be among key Rats with a mighty job. They will have to shut down the Eagles’ exceptional centre-court drive generated by Ashlynn McKenzie, Sarah Spicer and Emma Koschitzke, who can all run at centre without losing intensity. Ararat’s Rebecca Skrabl and Racquel Scott have the ability to match up well against Eagles goalies Megan Werner and Briodi McKenzie, which means the contest might come down to which team comes out on top at the Rats’ goal end. The Eagles have an adaptable team giving them the luxury to

change things up when needed, but also beat a Horsham side missing star Emma Buwalda. Another game that could go either way is a clash between Horsham Saints and Minyip-Murtoa. The Saints, coming off a 56-28 win over Nhill, are developing each week, with Kiana Marshman, Elly Barnett and Jess Cannane building a strong defensive unit that will look to limit Georgia McLennan’s effectiveness. Megan Byrne and Ashlee Grace work the centre court well and are delivering the ball reliably to their goalers. Emily Langley, Ellie McGrath, Stacey Arnold and Angie Clarke will need to create uncertainty in the Saints attack.

Experimenting

The Burras stayed with Southern Mallee Giants for the quarter in their last outing, but later fell away. With a practically new team, they seem to be experimenting with players and combinations and are sure to come off the bye eager for a win. Nhill takes on Southern Mallee Giants in a game between first and ninth on the ladder. Nhill will find it tough against the Giants, who beat Stawell 59-42, and have the bonus of Trudi Cook, Caitlin Hickey and Maddelyne Shannon

all working in a strong a defensive circle. This means Nhill’s Claudia McRae and Charlotte Foulds will need to present strongly to give their side an avenue to goal. At the other end of the court, Nhill’s Sydney Thorogood and Maddison Peterkin will need to work hard to stop Steph Thomson and Zali Brown, proving to be a strong and confident combination in goals. Stawell meets Dimboola meanwhile in what represents an important match for both teams and a winner is hard to pick. The Warriors’ Jemma Clarkson and Madi Taylor will need to ensure their passes into the circle are on point to Zanaiya Bergen and Ebony Summers. They will also need to get past midcourt pressure applied from the likes of Meaghan Pohlner, Ruby Redford and Emily Polack. They will then need to team up with Courtney McIlvride to provide defensive pressure through the centre to disrupt passing into Dimboola’s attacking end. Dimboola would be confident and Billie-Jo Barber and Nicole Polycarpou will be looking to get around Warriors defenders Lisa Fleming and Rachel Wood and open scoring opportunities.

More testing encounters to come H

BY DEAN LAWSON

ard-fought wins to Stawell and Dimboola in Wimmera football league on Saturday have provided the perfect build-up for a telling clash between the two at Stawell’s Central Park this Saturday.

Stawell sneaked across the line in a two-point thriller over fancied Southern Mallee Giants last week, while Dimboola managed to keep Ararat at arm’s length to secure a 24-point victory. The results allowed the Warriors and Roos to maintain their unbeaten status four weeks into the home-and-away fixture and ensured a high degree of top-five uncertainty as teams pushed deeper into the season. Stawell appeared in strife early against a Giants side that took winning form against Minyip-Murtoa in their previous game into last weekend’s contest. It was more than three goals down at the first change and still trailing by 13 points as players walked to the sheds at half time. But fortunes changed in the second half as the Warriors chipped away while the Giants accumulated a string of minor scores that left the visitors in arrears by two points at three-quarter time. The contest then became a test of

wills with Stawell prevailing despite the Giants having eight more scoring opportunities for the game. The result was huge for a Stawell side that to some degree, after having comfortable wins against Warrack Eagles, Nhill and Ararat – way back on Good Friday, would have been unsure about its potential against the pace-setters. Cody Driscoll kicked four critical goals, while Jackson Dark and Jamie Bach won votes and others such as Bailey Taylor, Paul Summers and Charlie Nield impressed. Dimboola will consider a win over the Warriors a ‘scalp’, so far having wins over Horsham Saints and Nhill, and Ararat at the weekend. The Roos maintained a handy break on the visiting Rats and had Jack Landt, who kicked five goals, in great touch. Mitch Jorgensen also bagged five, while Jayden Lehmann, slick Matt Rosier, Tom Cree and Brock Landt led the way. Horsham Saints were also winners, comfortably beating Nhill, and face perhaps their biggest test of the year this weekend against Minyip-Murtoa. The Saints meet the Burras, who sat out with a bye, and would be still stung from a narrow loss to the Giants. The tri-colours secured a winning break in the third term against the Ti-

SETTING EXAMPLE: Nhill’s consistent Liam Albrecht attempts to get a kick away despite a fierce tackle from Horsham Saints’ Jacob O’Beirne. While teams setting the pace will lock horns across the league, Nhill will start as underdog against Southern Mallee Giants. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER gers on the back of strong games from Gage Wright, Sam Clyne and Cody Helyar, while James Lang kicked three goals. The smash-and-grab Saints rely heavily on rapid ball movement through light and agile runners and this weekend come up against the muscle of Minyip-Murtoa. The Burras are sure to be hungry and

determined to reclaim the 2021 teamto-beat tag. Wimmera league’s top six is so far a traffic jam. Ararat sits outside the top five but has suggested during the past couple of weeks it will influence the top half of the competition. The Rats would rate their chances of beating Warrack Eagles this week,

especially on the form of the likes of Tom Mills, Baydn Cosgriff and Brody Griffin. Codey Lindsay, Liam Arnott and Tom Cousins were also busy against the Roos. Warrack Eagles, despite being winless and the subject of a leadership shuffle, threw plenty at Horsham last week and despite ultimately falling by 34 points, were in touch of the Demons for much of the game. Players such as Dane Stewart, Jack Wilson and Charlie Penny were willing combatants and will again be important this weekend. Nhill is another side that might be on the improve, although it will need to find more ways of turning midfield and defensive efforts into results on the scoreboard against the Giants this weekend. The Tigers have accumulated a total of only 122 points in four games. Nathan Alexander, Mitch Dahlenburg and Liam Albrecht have made a habit of flying the flag out west and provide an example of what the Tigers must produce. The Giants would be kicking themselves after last weekend, especially with five-goal Brock Orval continuing to make his presence felt and Sam White, Cassidy Parish and Riley and Lucas Cook putting in solid games. The Tigers will need to dig deep to stop the Giants.

Bombers, Storm ‘live’ O

BY DEAN LAWSON

ne of the biggest games of Horsham District football season on Saturday will be subject to a blow-by-blow description from Local Footy Live radio commentors.

The 3WM commentary team will set up from a vantage point at Quantong reserve to cover a big match between competition-leading Noradjuha-Quantong and in-form Jeparit-Rainbow. The clash is clearly the league’s match of the round as players return from a competition-wide bye. Local Footy Live caller Grant Kuchel said expectations were for an intense and hard-fought contest. “It really should be a good game and we’re looking forward to calling it,” he said. “It will be interesting to see how the Jeparit-Rainbow forward line operates, especially if Ben Warren plays. “He will line up alongside Jay Kirwood, who has 17 goals from four games and Peter Weir, 11, and kicked three of his own last outing. “The Storm also has some pretty handy players through the middle with Daniel Batson and Shane Maslin and then there’s young blokes such as Jakob Cocks who is also pretty handy.” Kuchel agreed the game might go some way to answering questions about Noradjuha-Quantong’s potency this year. “The Bombers doing well probably

Change ahead in Mininera Back to back A

BY JONATHAN BOX

fter four rounds in Mininera and District Football League, Woorndoo-Mortlake, Tatyoon and Great Western sit unbeaten atop the competition ladder.

That will all change this weekend, however, when Great Western and Tatyoon go head to head. Both teams had big wins last weekend, Tatyoon over Wickliffe-Lake Bolac and the Lions over Hawkesdale-Macarthur. Tatyoon has had a seemingly easy run in the first four games, winning by 40 points or more. The only time the Hawks have been pushed was a first-half effort by Penshurst, where teams were even at half time. This weekend’s game could be a different story, with Tatyoon taking on the 2019 and reigning premiers. Mathew Smith, William Henderson and William Laurie have been the better players for the Hawks, while Ben Clay has been doing the majority of the damage in front of goal, kicking 13 so far this season. Tatyoon will look for these players to put another big game together this week, along with the likes of David Brady and Sean and Alex McDougall who are all part of a dominant combination we have seen time and again. Great Western has had a couple of big games, also with a challenge from Penshurst and from an improved Ararat Eagles outfit. The Lions have triumphed each time after rising to the challenge.

Brady Miller, Danny Grellet, Jesse Bennett and Andrew Cameron have all had big starts to the season, frequenting the best players in the past month, with Damon Folkes a hardto-contain forward, having kicked 28 goals at this early stage of the season. Both teams will look to get the upper hand early on their opponents, but this will be a long, tough game for both teams. Wickliffe-Lake Bolac at the other end of the scale has yet to register a win this season, however, will hope they change that this weekend when they host the also winless Caramut. The Magpies have had a tough start to the season having lost three of their games by about 100 points or more. However, in most of their games they have shown they can keep with or better their opponents for at least a quarter. They will look to put that into play for a whole game this week and walk away with a win. Charlie Vallance, Harley Hunter, James Anagnostou and Brett Cook have been the better players for the Magpies, doing all they can to keep their team competitive. It has been Joshua Stapleton, Bowes Kelly and Joshua Lenehan the Swans have been looking toward to push them further, with Stapleton also booting eight goals. In other games, Ararat Eagles travel to Dunkeld to play the Rams, Moyston-Willaura hosts Lismore-Derrinallum, Woorndoo-Mortlake takes on Hawkesdale-Macarthur, and SMW Rovers will hope to put four quarters together and start their season off when they play Penshurst.

MEMORABLE GAME: Wimmera man Michael ‘Beard’ Bull reached a major sporting milestone at the weekend, playing his 600th game of football. The Border Districts veteran laced up his boots to face off against Mundulla for the fifth round of Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Football League on Saturday. The Eagles were unable to snatch the win, but the game was still monumental for Bull, marking the hundreds of hours he has spent playing competitive football in the region. The border of South Australia and Victoria has long been Bull’s stomping ground since he first started playing for Goroke when he was 17 and later for Border Districts, when the clubs combined in 1999. Club members congratulated Bull for his long-term dedication to the Eagles, which also included his efforts volunteering to help with the running of the club.

Stawell Amateur Athletics Club travelled to Rupanyup on Saturday for the eight-kilometre Tyler’s Hardware race. Adrian, Kelvin and Vicki Tyler have a long association with the club and all participated in the field of 26 runners. Jess Cass had the fastest time for the females, 36:53, while Nathan Baker had the fastest time for the males, 34:20. Melissa Fletcher led all runners to an impressive win on the flat Jack’s track in a time of 49:58. “As I was starting off Jess said good luck, enjoy the course as it’s very pretty,” Fletcher said. “It can be easy to get caught up in the run sometimes and forget that you’re surrounded by beautiful scenery.” Stacey Harrison finished second, three minutes adrift, while Cliff Harrison was two seconds behind in third place. Milla Harrison ran a strong race to claim her maiden win in the sub-juniors, followed by Amber Baker in second place. Louis Fletcher posted a personal best and the fastest time for the sub-juniors, resulting in a third place. The ‘Glitter Angels’ were well represented, adding to their 50K in May totals. There will be a morning tea and raffle after the Stephen Baird Handicap on Saturday, with money raised helping the fight against MS. Members and fun runners are to meet at the clubrooms at 9.30am for a 10am start at Centre Road and Bonnie Dundee Track crossroads. The club is ordering MND 7 beanies to help raise money for research to fight against motor neurone disease. People can order a beanie via the club’s Facebook page or in person at any run in May. Any members who have not yet ordered the new club singlet are encouraged to place an order this week. – Nathan Baker

Comp wide open V

BY DAVID BERRY

olleyball Horsham’s A Grade competition has been thrown wide open, following a round of upset results last week.

Shados Inala started the ball rolling, defeating Phantoms easily, taking over second place on the ladder as a result, while Pegasus finished the night in a similar vein, scoring a narrow win over ladder leader Heidelberg. Those results mean tonight’s games take on more significance as the ladder tightens up. Phantoms open the night with a clash against Heidelberg. Phantoms should welcome back big-hitters Ben Wilde and Dimitrios Vettos, while Kara Johnson should assume her setting duties. When last they met it was Heidelberg that triumphed in four close sets, with Jack Exell the difference between the two teams. The high-leaping youngster has returned to the sport in devastating fashion, and setter Nathan Berry will look to Exell to hit plenty of winners. Cleo Baker has been consistent for Phantoms all season. The powerhitting youngster is ever reliable on reception and is brave in defence.

Baker’s passing will be crucial for setter Johnson to use her hitters the best way possible. In the second game, Aidan O’Connor’s Pegasus will be out to make it back-to-back wins when they battle Tim Carter’s Von Steiger Bloods. When they last met, they played the set of the season – a third 3634 set that lasted more than half an hour, with both teams striving hard to gain the ascendancy. With both teams having settled their line-ups, another cracking game is on the cards. Pegasus has moved within striking distance of the double chance and will not want to drop this game. The final game of the night sees Shados Inala take on Volleyroos. Shados Inala recorded a comfortable win when last they met, so will go in confident of repeating that effort. Volleyroos should welcome back Jordy Weidemann and have Emily Hannan available to direct traffic in defence and contribute with her excellent passing. Another beauty is on the cards with both teams playing some good volleyball. In B Grade, the match of the round sees Von Steiger Shadows up against Parma Army. Von Steiger Shadows bounced

back to form with a solid win last week, with Rohan Sanders and Josh Tan the major contributors. Both teams will be keen for a win to keep in touch with the double chance. Von Steiger Boomers will get a good measure of where they stand when they renew acquaintances with Waterhammers. Last time they met the experienced Waterhammers won in a close game and the old heads will want to retain top spot on the ladder with a win. In other matches, the all-Von Steiger affair between the Gangsters and Barbarians will be interesting, while Heidelberg Masters should have little trouble putting Von Steiger Bloods away.

Spikezone

Volleyball Horsham’s Spikezone program is taking registrations. Volleyball’s version of Auskick, the program is aimed at eight to 11year-olds and will be on Wednesday evenings at St Brigid’s College stadium, between 4.45pm and 5.45pm, starting tonight.

orsham Golf Club leaders are confident the success of an event featuring a world champion golfer represents an opportunity to run similar promotions.

Australian golfer Geoff Ogilvy, who has a US Open and three world championships under his belt, played alongside major club sponsors and Gen Z players during the two-day event last week. Club manager Darryl McRae said more than 100 spectators watched Ogilvy in action. Ogilvy played nine holes against club sponsors represented by Adam Roche, ACE Radio; Simon Hopper, CHS Group; Heath Martin, O’Connors; Matt Beddison, Crop Opti; Jenny McRae, Horsham Golf Club; David Johns, Horsham Doors and Glass; Brian Mannix, Forty Winks; and Craig O’Connor, Locks Constructions. “There were some really good reports back from the Ogilvy Foundation about the condition of the course and the hospitality the club provided,” Mr McRae said. “It was a very successful event, with the likelihood that the Ogilvy Foundation will come back

again. If we get the opportunity to do this again, we’ll certainly try to get more involvement with our members and sponsors.” Mr McRae said tourism generated from the event provided an additional economic benefit for Horsham’s economy. “There’s also a bit of a spin-off effect for the community because there’s accommodation needed from those who attended and money spent in the community while they’re here,” he said. “We rely on the community to support our club, so this helps us give a bit of money back into the community.” The world champion joined junior players at the Horsham course on Friday for a Gen Z tournament. Ogilvy Foundation helps young people find pathways into professional golf. Bryden MacPherson finished his round with a new course record with 64 off the stick. Runner-up was Mathias Sanchez with 65 on countback from Tom Power Horan. Leading amateur was Aiden Didone, 66, followed by Brodey Harrison, Caleb Bovalina and Jack Hughes all on 67. Leading female was Alex Hilliard, 70.
