Easter buzz is back BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera cities, towns and communities are preparing for an Easter weekend swell as they embrace opportunities to present major attractions for the first time in two years.

Thousands of people will visit the region for the first major collective presentation of festivities since before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Stawell Gift at Central Park, as the headline event, looms as a compelling contest, with elite Australian runners crowding the program. A new partnership between Stawell Athletics Club and Athletics Australia has attracted some of the country’s best professional athletes, along with elite amateur talent. With several Australian Olympian runners set to dazzle the 5000-strong crowd, amateur runners and grass-

track specialists have a battle on their hands to claim the $40,000 and $20,000 cheques for the headline men’s and women’s 120-metre events. Some of Australia’s best runners in contention include 2022 men’s 100m Australian track and field champion Jack Dooen, Commonwealth Games 100m relay sprinter Jack Hale and 800m national record holder Catriona Basset. With organisers expecting more than 600 athletes across sprint

and middle-distance events, a television audience will join thousands of on-site spectators for the carnival’s 140th event. COVID-19 restrictions cancelled the carnival in 2020 and capped visitor attendance in 2021. The Gift, apart from generating interest around the world, has garnered the attention of Russell Cunningham’s Australian film production company, RLC Motion Picture Entertainment. The film company, with a finished

script, has planned a fictional Stawell Gift feature film and will explore the script’s Central Park setting ahead of a potential late-2022 filming start. The company’s creative team have planned to attend this weekend to soak in the atmosphere. The carnival headlines a boost for Wimmera economies as residents and visitors look forward to several other high-profile events across the region. Continued — page 3

Roos ‘devastated’ about breach D

imboola Football Netball Club officials have formally apologised for circumstances that led to football’s regional controlling body sanctioning the club for breaching player-payment rules.

The club committee has written to its players, members and sponsors, outlining details of how the misdemeanour occurred. It issued the letter after AFL Wimmera Mallee ordered the club pay $10,000 of a $20,000 fine and docked the club’s senior team 12 premiership points this season for breaching rules in 2021. A points system based on individual player history governs club salary caps and league authorities also re-

duced Dimboola’s total team points by 15 per cent for the 2022 season. Its player payments will also be under review during the 2022 season. AFL Wimmera Mallee region manager Jason Muldoon thanked an integrity officer who led the random review of Dimboola player payments. He also acknowledged the club for its ‘honesty’ and ‘willingness to work collaboratively’ with AFLWM and the integrity officer. Half of the $20,000 fine is suspended and payable only if the club breaches any further Community Club Sustainability Policy rules during the next two years. Here is the club’s letter – In the 2021 season we made an

error under the allowable player payment rules and have consequently been handed down four sanctions. We fully understand that we are to be held accountable for our actions in this matter. In the 2021 season the Dimboola Football Netball Club was found to be in breach of the salary cap set for the senior football team. This mistake was made due to an error in understanding that the impact the missed rounds during the season due to COVID-19 would have on our overall limit. Unfortunately, we did not make the appropriate changes once the pro rata system was implemented. We deeply regret not informing ourselves and would like to apologise

for the affect our actions have had on our players, members and sponsors of our club and our league. The Dimboola Football Netball Club committee has met and voted that president Justin Ward will remain in his position for the 2022 season after he was found not guilty of any negligent act in the matter. The committee is fully committed to supporting Justin and each other for the better of our sporting club and wider community in the 2022 season and beyond. Going forward, we endeavour to educate ourselves on the allowable player payment process and will do everything to ensure this never happens again. Our club is committed to doing the right thing by all

at our club and all involved in our sporting community in the future. We will continue to work with AFL Wimmera Mallee and the Wimmera Football Netball League to undergo a review of our player payment system in 2022 and continue to be transparent and honest during that process. After two years of limited community sport, our main focus in 2022 is to see our junior and senior players, along with their supporters, getting the chance to enjoy the game they love at our beloved club. We sincerely thank players, members, sponsors and the Dimboola community for committing to our club in 2022 and look forward to spending the season ahead with you.

May date for polls Mallee candidates in the approaching May 21 Federal Election have failed to attract the endorsement of a group trying to raise awareness of political process and to help people gain a ‘genuine political voice’. Voices for Mallee, V4M, spokesperson Barry Parsons said the group was not confident it had engaged with sufficient Mallee people to ‘genuinely’ reflect their voice and their needs before asking candidates to nominate for its endorsement. From late yesterday Mallee candidates were incumbent Anne Webster of the Nationals; Stuart King, United Australia Party; Chris Lahy, Australian Citizens Party and independents Claudia Haenel and Sophie Baldwin.

OLD IS NEW: Horsham district’s Donald and Gwen Timmins look through items at Wimmera Mallee Historical Vehicle Society’s first swap meet in three years at Horsham showground.

Regional event showcase looms From – page 1 Among a long list of regional events, Yarriambiack Shire’s revitalised Easter in the Beal event, formerly Y-Fest, will attract families to Warracknabeal. Activities include parades, live music, a show-andshine car exhibition, a museum event and golf tournament. The Great Western Rodeo will welcome at least 4000 visitors on Good Friday for the annual bull-riding, horse-riding and cattle-roping event, while the annual Jeparit Easter Fishing Competition will have anglers busy on the Wimmera River at Jeparit on Saturday.

Stawell Gift Event Management’s Stephanie Spence said the national embrace of the Stawell Gift’s 140th running cemented the carnival’s ‘bucket-list’ sentiments. “Things are getting back to normal and with the state borders open, we have looked forward to welcoming interstate visitors again,” she said. “I would love to get back to the days of old, where people stand shoulder to shoulder in the spectating crowd – and with this year showcasing some of the best in Australian athletics, the event stands to grow and grow.” Northern Grampians Mayor Tony

Driscoll said Stawell businesses had extended trading hours and StawellBiz had planned an Easter Extravaganza market and entertainment collaboration for Main Street on Saturday. “The Stawell Gift has significant economic benefits for our business community and we are looking forward to being able to host a full-sized crowd and an event not impacted by COVID-19 restrictions,” he said. “We see the Stawell Gift as the crowning glory in an Easter weekend of jam-packed activities in our shire and we hope everyone gets out and about and enjoys them.”

$2.8m to tackle house shortages

Josh ‘cleans up’ at champs Horsham motocross rider Josh McLean has found international success, winning the opening round of an American championship. McLean, riding in a pro-lite category, secured victory at the American Motocross Association, AMA, Supermoto in Primm, Nevada. The supermoto involved international and American riders on a combination of dirt and sealed circuit on motocross bikes with roadbike wheels. McLean participated in the event despite having injured his ribs in a crash prior to the event. “My partner told me if I didn’t want race, then it was up to me; but she told me to harden up because it was a long way to fly to America and not to compete,” he said. McLean said he prepared for the event by training at South Coast Track Days in Warrnambool. “They have been the only karttrack club in Victoria willing to allow me access to train on a kart track,” he said. McLean thanked his colleague Glen Fuller, who found accommodation for him in America, and his sponsor MCR Supermoto. He said he had finished second in

he mayor of Yarriambiack shire has described a $2.8-million State Government investment into regional housing as feeling ‘like Christmas’.

McLean said there were some pos- need to get back, we need to find itives in losing to Miller. some funding,” he said.

Rodeo due to attract thousands Organisers of the annual Great Western Rodeo on Good Friday expect at least 4000 visitors to attend the event. Great Western Lions Football and Netball Club will host the rodeo at the Great Western Reserve from 10am. The event features eight hours of family entertainment such as live music, bull-riding, horse-riding and cattle roping. The club has hosted the event since 1997. It has previously attracted visitors from across Victoria and interstate. Event organiser Shannon Notting said the rodeo was a major fundraiser for the club.

BY NICK RIDLEY

“The footy club has taken a hit during COVID-19 and with his, being our major fundraiser, I am sure we can get out of the financial issues,” he said. “It’s one of the best country rodeos in Australia. The reason why it is the best is because of how we organise the event.” Fellow organiser James Gooden said the event was an important social occasion and represented a chance to bring the rodeo back after a two-year hiatus. Mr Gooden said an open bull-riding event would be the feature of the day. “The open bull ride is the ultimate

event of the night because the size of the bull and how they pump the music up to get everyone going,” he said. Mr Gooden said the open bull ride had the best riders and the biggest bulls. “The best rider is someone who can hang on for eight seconds. To get the maximum number of points depends on how long you can hand on for and if the bull bucks,” he said. Mr Gooden said patrons must show proof of double-vaccination upon entry. He said entry cost $30 for adults and $10 for children. He said people wanting more information could phone 0439 657 268.

Kylie Zanker said the funding was ‘fantastic’ and came at an ideal time for a region desperate for housing options. Her response came after a joint announcement from Labor Upper House politicians Jaala Pulford and Mark Gepp that the government would provide financial backing for the council’s Easing Yarriambiack’s Affordable Rental Housing Shortage project. The funding would go towards building 14 two-bedroom units in Warracknabeal, six units in Hopetoun and two units in each of Murtoa, Rupanyup and Woomelang. “Rental housing is hard to find in the municipality and it is so important to build these houses,” Cr Zanker said. The council and State Government hope to retain elderly residents in the region, while freeing up large dwellings to attract new residents. Cr Zanker said the project would take up to 18 months to complete and encouraged patience from prospective residents. “People will get excited about the funding —and I’m excited about it, too — but we need to remind residents it will take a while to complete,” she said. A Wimmera Development Association 2020 study assessed available housing across the Wimmera and southern Mallee. The study found rental properties

made up 19.3 percent of total housing availability in Yarriambiack towns. It also found 49 percent of rental arrangements were informal agreements between family members or personal connections, rather than management through real-estate agents. Employers have also reported difficulties in finding accommodation for employees. Cr Zanker said the council would use a not-for-profit enterprise approach to manage rental housing. “It is a proven model for success in maximising local benefits via a structure in which the housing assets and land are owned by council and operated and managed by local incorporated committees,” she said. “Existing asset-management committees in Murtoa and Woomelang have successfully operated a portfolio of seven units for many years. “The relationship between the council and its communities has been strengthened by these partnerships in providing housing as infrastructure and a community service.” Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford said the region’s housing shortage was critical. Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp said the funding would encourage strong economic growth. “The latest batch of successful projects in the Regional Infrastructure Fund will continue to deliver promising outcomes for regional and rural Victorian communities by accelerating jobs and business growth,” he said. “This project will not only support local jobs; it will also go a long way in helping address housing shortages in the area.”

Crossroads for mainstream sport

ssues surrounding community regional sport might seem trivial when compared with all that’s happening across the state, country and around the world.

Pondering the future of community football, netball or other sporting clubs, leagues and associations probably sits at the far end of the queue when considering what’s most important for society. This is obviously true when we consider sport in simple isolation. But it gets a bit more complicated when considering sport in the overall picture of Australian culture and sensibility. The reality has been, love, hate or feel ambivalent about it, sport has been an integral pillar supporting broad social and cultural growth, structure and health — particularly in regional areas such as the Wimmera. In some cases, barracking or following a home team, regardless of success, has provided people with personal opportunities of representation. And in generating community solidarity it can be more valuable than gold in generating confidence and a sense of connectivity in regional communities.

EDITORIAL By Dean Lawson

We can’t help but wonder whether this sense of tribalism through sport in our region is headed for profound change — especially as we try to emerge from the impact of a worldwide pandemic. Evolutionary change has always been part of the Wimmera’s mainstream sporting landscape, usually based on changing demographics. Some changes have historically been profound and suspicions are that we could be well on the cusp of another right-angle turn. General word from the start of regional football season last week was that there was a dramatic shortage of players to fill teams adequately and appropriately. News of players coming out of retirement in their 40s and even their 50s to fill reserves teams and clubs playing with the bare minimum number of participants sent

up a mighty red flag — a flag we’ve seen before. It is a scenario, along with the loss of volunteers, that many mainstream sporting leaders had feared and warned about when the pandemic, at its height, had put sport into recess. Make no mistake. The next big shuffle involving clubs and competitions, some which have represented their communities for many decades, is the in the wind. We don’t know for sure, but it might be that if preserving the foundations of mainstream community sport is important as many believe, the structure of Wimmera district football and netball leagues and their clubs could look significantly different — sooner rather than later. We’ve heard the comment ‘there’s too many clubs and not enough players’ for years, and it could be that we’re about to hit the wall. Regional sporting institutions have been the subject of passionate and dedicated support through generations of Wimmera families. Many have considered their survival a must. But as the dust settles with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, will they retain pride of place on the regional mantel? We’re unsure. INSIGHT: Former Victorian athletics track-specialists turned Australian bobsledders, Melbourne’s Breeana Walker and Ararat’s Sarah Blizzard, pictured at the world’s oldest and only natural bobsled track at St Moritz in Switzerland, have proven sprinters really can the best bobsledders. Blizzard will show interested people the insand-outs of a competitive sled during Stawell Gift festivities at Central Park on Saturday and Sunday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Closed minds, loud voices

SIR, – Reading a letter ‘Rejected before’, April 6, 2022, has highlighted that the minority seem to have a lot to say in regard to the elected Horsham Rural City Councillors and the council in general. Please highlight ‘elected’ because our councillors are elected by the members of our community and each four years all members of the community are invited to nominate to run for an elected councillor position. Each month, the council meetings agenda is available for all members of the public to view; and then after the meeting the

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

minutes and details on discussions are also available for the public to view. In the past 18 months I have not seen any motion or plans that have indicated that the Firebrace Street scape will be changing in the near future. There has been consultation with the community on future development options and suggestions. Could I please repeat this has been consultation in which the community can have a say. As I understand, there have been many suggestions and opinions during this process, as there is with all community consultation. Some of these the media has de-

cided to discuss more than others. I think it’s time for the whole of this community to support the community members who we elected as councillors and the council staff who are just doing their job. The negative feedback and comments are definitely not helping to move our community into the future, the personal comments are attacks on community members who are focusing their efforts on making a difference. It’s time to show some old-fashion manners and be polite and respect others. N. Hanrahan, Horsham

Hospital appeal hits close to home Efforts back money-raiser

and care the hospital provided him during successive cancer treatments as an adult was integral to him having maintained his health. He said the appeal was a chance to appreciate and support the medical institution that supported him “I will be rattling tins with the football club to support the cause, while surrounding myself with friends and family. I am so grateful. Because of the Royal Children’s Hospital, I am still here to tell my tale,” he said. “I will join the 15-kilometre Run for the Kids appeal-fundraiser, too. It is all just a little way of giving back after all the support they have given me over the years.”

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

immera people are gearing up again this Easter to raise money for a storied Melbourne hospital and children in need of medical care.

The annual Good Friday Appeal has brought Australian and Victorian communities together since 1931 to raise money for the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital on the Easter holiday’s Good Friday. Horsham man and cancer-survivor Justin Amor is no stranger to the appeal’s continual impact on the hospital’s capacity to be at the forefront of global medical practice. Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at eight years old, Mr Amor’s first visit to the hospital in 1992 was the start of his life-long relationship with the hospital’s oncology unit. He said his experiences certified his ‘extreme’ confidence in Australia’s hospital workers. “It is amazing to know how lucky we all are in the Wimmera to have the Royal Children’s Hospital only a couple hours down the road, and for me as a parent now, I am so grateful we can all access that support, if need be,” he said. He said he had seen the hospital develop over time and said it was obvious the appeal’s impact on the hospital and its workers was substantial. “Money for research and treatment

Tradition returns

DIG DEEP: Natimuk Hotel publican Bill Lovel is hoping for a busy day of Good Friday Appeal donations. Picture: MICHAEL SCALZO development goes a long way and you can see, with the amazing machinery and diagnostic tools to support the children and their families, it is second to none,” he said. Mr Amor said when he was first diagnosed with leukaemia as a boy, he remembered arriving at the hospital’s oncology ward and seeing young people, ‘with bald heads, strapped to drips’. “I immediately knew things were pretty serious and I was in a bit of trouble,” he said.

He said it became obvious to him even then that the hospital’s doctors and nurses were ‘amazing’ and able to co-focus on the physical treatment of his cancer but also the mental health and wellbeing of his family. “They supported the people who supported me,” he said. A cancerous relapse four years later meant his sister became a donor for his crucial bone-marrow transplant; before cancerous incidents returned in 2010 and 2016. He said the long-term follow up

A Natimuk Hotel annual Good Friday Appeal event is just one example of the way Wimmera businesses also continue to support the Easter money-raising tradition in unique and significant ways. The hotel’s annual ‘Throw a Donation on the Roof’ event asks visitors to test their throwing precision to land donations on the pub’s ceiling. Natimuk Hotel publican Bill Lovel said the Good Friday Appeal tradition had been running since before he took charge of the hotel 12 years ago and he was excited to see it return in 2022. “You fold and roll up your donation, with a coin inside and a pin holding it together; you give it a good throw and the coin drops away in the air leaving your donation on the roof of the pub,” he said. “Last time we raised about $1100 this way and along with our raffle and bingo ticket sales, we often can

gather about $5000 to $10,000 for the appeal. “I’d ask everyone to dig deep, have some fun and leave a donation.” Mr Lovel said he was similarly aware of the appeal’s significant impact on the hospital, having unfortunately visited his own and a friend’s granddaughter there during recent years. “It is amazing how the hospital has changed and evolved over time and the money needed to do that obviously comes from somewhere, and a lot of that comes from Good Friday Appeal donations,” he said. The Good Friday Appeal raised more than $17 million in 2021 and since 1931 has raised more than $345 million for Royal Children’s Hospital. People wanting to contribute to Mr Amor’s ‘Run for the Kids’ Good Friday Appeal can visit www.runforthe kids2021-2022.gofundraise.com.au. He has raised nearly $8000 for the event this year and remains featured on the website’s individual fundraising top-five 2022 leader-board. Owners of Horsham’s Swift Car Wash, Gabriella Da Ros and Leigh Price, have joined a growing list of Wimmera organisations doing their bit for the Royal Children’s Hospital. All money from Friday’s automatic car wash will be donated to the appeal, while Swift will also host several Horsham SES members who will collect donations and hand out hot-cross buns throughout the day. Members of Horsham Country Fire Authority will also be across town to rattle tins and collect donations in their annual show of support.

Police urge focus as holidays begin

olice preparing for another traffic surge as part of the Easter and Anzac Day holiday period are urging drivers to be wary of distraction.

They will also focus on speed and driver drug and alcohol impairment as they attempt to curb a potential incidence of road trauma. Divisional Road Policing advisor Senior Sergeant Brendan Broadbent said evidence into road fatalities in the Wimmera and broader western Victoria suggested a loss of driver concentration was a key element in crashes. He said statewide police Operation Compass would start tomorrow and continue throughout Easter and into the Anzac Day long weekend. A ‘local’ ‘Stay Alive Focus 100 per cent on the drive’ was also in place. “In light of the last lot of road fatalities in our area, many have involved driver distraction,” he said. “With COVID-19 restrictions relaxing and events such as the Stawell Gift, the Great Western Rodeo, various festivals and many other events, more people are getting out and about. “Many might not have done long drives for a while and prone to distraction. The use of mobile phones is the main concern, but other distractions can be eating or drinking, turning around to look to the back seat, changing a radio station,

day-dreaming while looking at passing scenery. All can mean taking eyes off the road. “The potential for this is particularly obvious on rural and regional roads — especially on a lengthy trip that might become tedious. “Sometimes distraction can be caused by fatigue — the mind starts to wander — so being safe can be about planning a trip to have regular stops, swapping drivers when possible, and taking an opportunity to refresh to ensure you get your mind back on the job.” Sen Sgt Broadbent said statistics revealed that taking eyes off the road for two seconds while travelling at 50kph equated to travelling 28 metres without having an appropriate understanding or control of circumstances “That distance obviously doubles when travelling at 100kph. You can veer onto the wrong side of the road or off the road and lose control very easily,” he said. Sen Sgt Broadbent said the return of football and other sporting ventures would also place people on the roads — whether it be for regional community competitions or fixtures involving interstate travellers. “It is important to remember that in the Wimmera, we are in a fatigue corridor for travellers. Apart from holiday driver-reviver spots on highways, there are also plenty of towns where you can stop and have a break,” he said.

REMEMBERED: Wimmera artist Fay Hawkins died last week while her work was on display at the Wimmera Art Fair.

Long-time Wimmera Art Fair supporter and exhibiting artist Fay Hawkins has died with her works on exhibition at this year’s fair in Horsham. Fay had been associated with the Fair since 2012. It was with great emotion members of her family viewed and bought her works on display at Horsham Town Hall as a tribute. Fay was a senior artist, and began her art pursuit under the guidance of Adrian Wortel at Goroke. After moving to Horsham, she became a busy member of Horsham Artists’ Society. Attending workshops with society artists such as Colin Johnson and John Wilson had a major influence on her artwork. Fay worked mainly in oils because she liked their ‘buttery’ texture, enabling her to mould special features. Rotary Club of Horsham East president Pam Clarke and Rotary members paid tribute to the artist throughout the weekend’s fair. They said they felt humbled by the families of Fay Hawkins buying her works and contributing to money-raising efforts for the service club.

Horsham apprenticeship shortage A

BY NICK RIDLEY

gencies involved in fostering and supporting apprentices in the Wimmera have spoken about the complexities in making the most of government incentive programs.

Agency figures’ views range from challenges in finding appropriate workers with a level of competency, to employers’ ability to take on and support apprentices. Their views differ between how the State and Federal governments have managed apprenticeship attraction and retention. The Federal Government’s wage-subsidy program, ‘Boosting Apprenticeship Commencement’, aims to support businesses and group-training organisations to take on new employees. Businesses leaders can access a subsidy of 50 percent for wages when taking on new apprentices or trainees until June 30. The initiative started in October 2020.

Skillinvest regional general manager Glen Pohlner of Horsham said the wage-subsidy program had created jobs in the region. He also said there were businesses available to offer apprenticeships. But finding the right people for positions remained an issue. “There are some good training facilities, but the biggest hurdle is finding quality candidates,” he said. National Centre for Vocational Education Research data shows the number of people entering apprenticeships in Victoria during September 2021 was 9500. A Federation University Wimmera campus teacher said the wage-subsidy program had so far had minimal impact on places such as Horsham. Electrotechnology teacher laian Fricker said places such as Federation University’s Wimmera campus were struggling to keep up with demand for apprentices from businesses in the Wimmera.

Glen Pohlner “The registered training organisations will need the staff and resources to train extra apprentices,” he said. “Victorian registered training organisations are full, statewide, in the electrical trade and it takes three to four years to train an electrical apprentice.” Mr Fricker said employers also needed to offer apprentices higher wages to attract and retain them. “I currently have three classes of 16 apprentices and one class of 14.

I have just started six new apprentices, I know of two in the wings and expect to gain at least another five before the end of the year,” he said. Mr Fricker said some of his students struggled with maths and technical terms and he found himself teaching foundation skills they should have gained during secondary schooling. He said it was a ‘big call’ from employers to say apprentices were not receiving adequate training from registration training organisations, such as TAFE. Mr Fricker said matching potential apprenticeship applicants to industry remained a problem. “Having just received the latest training package update, we as a registered training organisation are struggling to decide how to assess new units that industry sets and shapes,” he said. State Government leaders plan to enhance the quality of training and make it more industry-relevant by recruiting ‘experts’ as TAFE teachers under the

TAFE Teacher Training Scholarship, with study funding valued at $10,000. Training and Skills Minister Gayle Tierney said it was vital to invest in TAFE to make sure people could obtain steady employment. “Our TAFE and training system is world-class and ensures Victorians are job-ready for meaningful careers – so it’s not surprising that more people are signing-up to apprenticeships and traineeships than anywhere in Australia,” she said. State Government leaders invested $3.2-billion during the past eight years to rebuild TAFE. Ms Tierney said the State Government understood it was vital to invest into the job market. “Only a Labor government will keep backing the skills and training system in Victoria – because we know that it provides great opportunities to jobseekers, building a pipeline of skilled workers for industries across the state,” she said.

FAMILY: The Delahunty family celebrates their Wimmera heritage at Murtoa Racecourse.

Family honours heritage The Delahunty family has gathered at Murtoa Racecourse to celebrate the family’s Wimmera heritage. Family members honoured their forebears John Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Delahunty’s connection to western Victoria. John and Elizabeth lived at Longerenong Homestead before building a home at Templemore, Murtoa in 1923. Leo Delahunty said buildings such as Longerenong Homestead were uncommon in the Wimmera in the mid-1800s because people were unable to pay for large-scale buildings of that magnitude. He said the Delahunty family had a long history of public service in the Wimmera.

Family focus for Easter fest O

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

rganisers of a revitalised Wimmera town festival are looking forward to the Easter break as families reunite for the celebration’s first instalment as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

Warracknabeal’s Easter in the Beal will take advantage of the long weekend and sunny autumn weather for its inaugural event, with organisers having planned a variety of family friendly activities. Warracknabeal Action Group chairwoman Dianne Marchment said the enthusiastic organising committee had revived the popular four-day Easter festival, formally known as ‘Y-Fest’, into the new event Easter in the Beal, from April 15 to 18. “After a two-year break, we are excited to put together an action-packed program of events,” she said. She said the four-day celebration would include live music, museum events, a main street parade and decorated floats, family Easter egg hunts, a Lions club community market, a golf tournament and country racing meet. “People have been missing social inclusion after the pandemic, so it is so good and healthy for our community and for people to get together after being shut away for so long,” she said. “People should come and get out and about, and enjoy, touch-wood, the beautiful Easter weather this weekend. “This event will promote social inclusion and be an attraction that will draw people from diverse backgrounds, providing for a

healthy and inclusive community.” Yarriambiack Mayor Kylie Zanker said Easter in the Beal would be an amazing time for people to enjoy time with family and friends in the beautiful weather. “The Friday will be full of hustle and bustle, with our CFA volunteers shaking tins for the Good Friday Appeal, the Saturday parade will be great and so will the horse race in the afternoon. Then we have the Wheatlands Museum Vintage Machinery Rally and live music on the Sunday,” she said. She said the event, following a period of uncertainty and lockdowns, was a chance for children of all ages to visit Warracknabeal. “It is really common for children to come back home this weekend and visit their parents. People at university will do the same and come and see their friends again,” she said. “Easter in the Beal will be so great – with all the events accessible for the whole family and lovely spots to pull up for the afternoon and be with family. “The weekend will be an amazing time for everyone. Why would you go away for Easter when you could spend it here?” She said the celebration would generate a significant economic bonus. “The Saturday morning down the main street will be five-people deep on the footpath, so even the clothes shops, the supermarkets, the petrol station, will all feel a boost this Easter,” she said. She said people wanting more information could go to the event’s social media pages.

EXHIBIT: Australian Wildflowers’ Jo Gardner, left, with Rita Feldmann at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

Wimmera display at show A Dandenong florist and educator and Laharum flower-growing business have worked together to curate a display at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Florist Rita Feldmann worked on the stand with help from Jo Gardner of Australian Wildflowers, which operates wildflower farms in the Wimmera and South Australia. The flower and garden show was at Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens and about 100,000 people attended the event between March 30 and April 3. Ms Feldmann said Ms Gardner

provided a wide variety of flowers to the display, noting the Wimmera’s environmental ability to grow high-quality produce. “My understanding is the soil and climate in the Wimmera are suited very well for Australian wildflower species,” she said. Ms Feldmann said her work focused on cultivating flowers in an eco-friendly way to reduce a carbon impact on climate. “When flowers are imported into Australia, they come by aeroplane and this adds to carbon footprint from growing and cultivation,” she said. Australian Wildflowers owner Mrs Gardner said she was thrilled

to have the opportunity to collaborate with Ms Feldmann. “We’ve done displays together in the past and were meant to get together for this event last year. We’re very supportive of the message she was trying to promote through her display,” Mrs Gardner said. Ms Feldmann said she was creating a course for people to learn about more sustainable practices in floristry. She said people wanting more information about the course could visit www.sustainable floristry.org – Nick Ridley

YEAR 7 2023 INFORMATION EVENING

BACK AGAIN: Erin Preston checks her line during last year’s Jeparit Easter Fishing Competition. The event returns this weekend. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Big perch a target for Easter contest A

BY DEAN LAWSON

big yellowbelly is the obvious tip to win a $2000 first-place cash prize for an angler during this weekend’s annual Jeparit Easter Fishing Competition.

Yellowbelly, also called golden perch, have been keeping fishing enthusiasts on the Wimmera River at Jeparit busy of late and history shows they usually dominate the competition’s leaderboard. The contest’s senior winner last year weighted in a 1738-gram yellowbelly and third place went to angler with a similar fish weighing 1252 grams. Based on latest reports, Murray cod might feature in this year’s contest and catfish, second on the senior list year, should also be prominent. Other species eligible for major prizes include redfin and silver perch and there is a special category for carp. The bank-based contest, on the river between a tennis-court boat ramp area to another boat ramp past the former ski club, runs from 7.30am to 3pm on Saturday. There are 10 prizes on offer for heaviest fish in both senior and junior categories with second prize in the senior section an Engel and cover worth $1700. Top prize in the junior section is $500 and a swag with a kayak and jacket on offer for second place. Contest sponsorship co-ordinator Yolande Hut-

son said the hope was for the competition to better the 358 entries from last year. “We also have a major raffle to raise money for the Good Friday Appeal and all money from competition entries goes back to Jeparit Angling Club - mainly to continue running the event into the future as a service to the Jeparit community,” she said. “Jeparit doesn’t have many events, but the fishing competition remains very popular. Many people come to camp with friends and family as a great Easter catch-up in a great environment. “It’s great for helping Jeparit’s welcoming community keep the town on the map. “Jeparit – especially when it comes to Easter – remains one of the best-kept secrets as a rural and regional tourism destination. “The river is looking in very good condition at the moment. All we need now is a good number of entries and fine weather.” People can register for the event online at www.jeparitanglersclub.com or in person at contest headquarters at Jeparit Angling Club rooms; or at the golf club on Lake Road, from noon to 6pm on Friday and from 6.30am onwards on Saturday. Presentations will be at the clubrooms from 3.30pm on Saturday. Seniors will pay $30 to fish in the event and under-16s $20. The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM have continued a relationship with the event as a major sponsor.

Boost from caravanners’ visit Municipal leaders say a caravan club gathering at Kaniva earlier this month has injected more than $40,000 into the West Wimmera Shire economy. Trakmaster Off-Road Caravan Club’s Kaniva visit included about 200 people - many of whom used the occasion to tour the shire, visit attractions and shop at businesses. West Wimmera Shire Mayor Bruce Meyer said Kaniva was ‘buzzing’ throughout the week. “There were people everywhere. All the shops were full, and many businesses extended their trading hours to take advantage of the extra people,” he said. “It was exceptional to have such an influx of tourists to the shire and they provided an incredible boost to the local economy.” Many community groups also had a chance to raise money through catering opportunities. Money raised went to Kaniva LINK Neighbourhood House, $1000 for a children’s art and multimedia program; Purple Starfish Community Shop, $1000 for a cash register and solar light project; Rogerson Street Community Playground, $960; Kaniva Community Sporting Complex, $960 for mirrors and an equipment rack; Kaniva Hockey Club, $960 for fencing and lighting; Kaniva Gun Club, $960 for toilet doors. Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Cr Meyer thanked people for their generosity. “They have provided some much-needed funds to many of our community groups, and we are extremely grateful for that,” he said. Kaniva businesses decorated their shop windows for the gathering. Caravan club members voted Gary Mills Plumbing’s display the best window, with The Salvation Army runner-up. Cr Meyer said he would welcome members back again, anytime. “Their time here has been invaluable to many businesses and community groups,” he said. “The best thing they can do for West Wimmera Shire now is to tell their friends that it is a great place to visit.” The gathering concluded a week of events in the shire – including Ensemble Theatre’s production of ‘Black Cockatoo’ at Harrow and more than 100 dachshunds and their owners visiting Edenhope for the second annual Day of the Dackel. “All of these events managed to bring tourists to our shire, which is fantastic to see,” Cr Meyer said. “We hope more and more people will travel here in the future and take advantage of the wonderful things we have to offer.” Trakmaster Off-road Caravan Club’s next gathering will be in Narramine, NSW in 2023.

Community Newsletter Letter from the CEO

RNH Updates

RNH recently held a community meet & greet at our Warracknabeal Campus and whilst I would have loved to see more community members in attendance, it was an invaluable meeting for myself and I am really grateful to those community members who voiced their experiences of care provided to their loved ones at RNH. Feedback can sometimes be hard to hear when it is not necessarily positive but all feedback is an opportunity to reflect on the services we provide and to work towards continually improving the care and services we provide to our communities. I am looking forward to the meet & greet at our Hopetoun Campus on Tuesday 19 April at 2pm, and hope community members will come along. Please check our website and face book page for future dates for our meet & greet meetings. At Rural Northwest Health, we are fortunate to have a great team of staff and this was highlighted recently by the excellent team work of all during our COVID outbreak on Wattle Unit and a very big thank you to all the team during this challenging period of two weeks. We are working very hard with our recruitment of team members and in particular nursing staff, and have recruited nursing, allied health and maintenance staff in recent months, but we still have some way to go in filling the multiple vacancies across our campuses. Whilst our situation is not unique to RNH, we are conscious of the impact our staffing vacancies has across our workforce and the fatigue experienced by our team members and sadly there is no quick fix to the staffing shortfall facing the healthcare industry. In the six months as CEO of Rural Northwest Health, I have received many comments that as your healthcare provider we do not necessarily keep our communities updated on what is happening, and we are working hard to improve this and to let you all know of the many excellent projects and initiatives that are taking place and to improve our engagement with our communities. I hope you enjoy our newsletter, and I would really love to receive your comments and feedback and would remind you that you can provide feedback by accessing Care Opinions via www.careopinion.org.au Finally, many thanks to the team members who contributed to the newsletter, well done and thank you.

New Team Members

Our Residents Visit to Halls Gap Zoo On Friday 4 March a team from Rural Northwest Health accompanied a group of residents from Aged Care and the Planned Activity Group clients to the Halls Gap Zoo. The day commenced at 8:30am from Hopetoun and then onto the Warracknabeal campus. The residents started with a BBQ lunch before embarking on the walk. Most of the residents were pushed via wheelchair around the park.

Rural Northwest Health is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members. We have over the past five months developed a Gender Equality Reference Group and are making progress on developing and implementing our Gender Equality Action Plan. Rural Northwest Health is committed to creating a workplace where all team members are safe from any form of discrimination and to support any team members who may be experiencing family violence. Statistics evidence that in Australia one woman per week is murdered by her current or former partner and almost ten women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries caused by a spouse or domestic partner. These statistics increase for women with a disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Among G20 nations, in 2018 Australia was ranked eighth for rates of domestic violence against women according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

What is Rural Northwest Health Doing?

Implemented: • Raising awareness on Gender Equality • Created a Gender Equality Reference Group • Introduced a Gender Equality Policy Ongoing: • Team member mandatory training on Gender Equality • Regularly update our staﬀ and our community • Developing and implementation of a Gender Equality Action Plan Why we are doing this? • To improve our commitment to Gender Equality • RNH to be a leader in Gender Equality • Ensure staﬀ are treated equally and fairly and to create a culture of inclusiveness • To raise awareness within our communities We acknowledge that gender equality will not happen overnight but small actions can help long term change!

Scrub ’Em Up with Love The Acute team were recently gifted some brightly coloured scrubs from a collaboration between Gorman, Princess Highway and Dangerfield clothing labels as a ‘Scrub ‘Em Up with Love Campaign’. Team members and community members may have spotted some nurses wearing brightly coloured and patterned scrub tops – they certainly lifted the spirit and the mood within the ward!

RNH to Continue Running Charity Fund

On Friday 25 February, Nurse Unit Manager Keshia Roche and Executive Manager of Clinical Services Wendy James were joined by seven consumers. Consumers were given the opportunity to share their experiences as a patient and provided some valuable feedback and opportunities where improvements can be made. This exercise provided extremely valuable feedback, and the Nurse Unit Manager has since drafted a revised information folder which will be distributed for consumer feedback prior to production. The Acute Ward patient lounge has undergone renovations over the past twelve months, which are now almost complete. The updates have included additional bench space, additional cupboards and a new fridge. We welcome all patients and their visitors to enjoy this space during their stay.

Once inside the fence they were greeted by some very hungry deer that loved fleecing residents and staff for any potential bags of food. Many continued on to the giraffe and up to the much spoken about bison at the very top of the walk. The rain started as packing up commenced but it didn’t stop the rather large ice-cream order at Halls Gap for all residents to enjoy on the way home. Well done and thank you to the staff that assisted in the preparation of our departure, it was hectic, wet, and muggy but so much fun for the residents and PAG clients.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Step into a sense of imagination

omentum is building for an inaugural Wimmera festival designed to draw the regional community together with a combination of fantasy, science-fiction and fashions from times past.

Wimmera Steampunk Festival next week in Dimboola promises to provide the extraordinary and organisers of the ‘street party’ have urged people to quickly prepare their costumes. Event spokesman and Dimboola businessman Chan Uoy said the more people who made an effort to dress up for the occasion, the more chance the event would ‘add to the magic of the night’. “We’re really excited about creating a bit of excitement for Dimboola. Quite a few people have made an effort to get their costumes organised, so I’m really pleased to see that,” he said. The steampunk concept of blending Victoriana and imagination is about celebrating the ‘weird and wonderful’. Mr Uoy, in explaining the concept, said residents should try to imagine time-travelling people from the past ending up in Dimboola. “It’s a bit like Willy Wonka meets Avatar,” he said. Dimboola’s version of the steampunk concept and celebration will centre on a street party in Lochiel Street, which will be blocked off between Lloyd and Victoria streets for evening entertainment on April 23. The street will feature a night market and attractions including short films, musical bands and light shows. Organisers hope the event, designed to promote all Wimmera centres and settlements, will attract a big crowd. Mr Uoy said he hoped the region would take the opportunity to gather for ‘a bit of fun’. “For the event to create that real festive feel,

we need a few thousand people. I think we might make it – because it’s the ‘Wimmera’ steampunk festival and we are engaging other towns in the Wimmera to come on board as well as visitors from other parts of Victoria,” he said. “All the accommodation is booked out in Dimboola already and the overflow will involve the other centres. I know we have people coming who have booked in Horsham.” Mr Uoy said there were ‘hardcore’ steam punk enthusiasts coming from across Melbourne as well as places such as Bendigo and Ballarat. “The night market starts at 5pm and when it starts getting dark from 6pm the lights will come on and that’s when the magic starts,” he said. “We want people to use the occasion to lose themselves and to tap into their imaginations. The road will closed until 11pm and four bands will be on a main stage from 5pm to 10.30pm.” Mr Uoy said there was a need to cover some costs and adults would pay $11 to take part in the event. But children under 17 would be free of charge. He urged people to book their spots online at TryBooking to allow vendors a chance to appropriately cater for the event. “We have so many people supporting this project on so many different levels. It’s just amazing,” he said. Festival activities will continue the following day when musician Aaron Moar, formerly of Dimboola, performs at a Steampunk Sunday Recharge concert in gardens at the rear of Dimboola Library. The Sunday concert will be from 1.30pm to 5pm and will also feature support acts Darryn Wardle and Jeff Woodward who both grew up on farms near Brim and began their music careers playing in during the Wimmera Rock scene in the ’80s and ’90s.

Race will reach the big screen BY MICHAEL SCALZO

n Australian film company will soakup the atmosphere of Stawell’s Central Park this weekend, ahead of production of a feature film based on the Stawell Gift.

RLC Motion Picture Entertainment, headed by producer Russell Cunningham, announced in March the company was developing a new film, with the Stawell Gift to feature. The film, with the working title ‘Starting Blocks’, will be a modern-day redemption-arc story about a fictional Gift sprinter who copes with setback through family and community to race again at the famous footrace. Producer Russell Cunningham, director Clay Watson and lead-actor and script-writer Ethan Panniza will be among the Central Park crowd to explore the carnival’s cultural and historical nuances and assess community and private investor support for the production. Mr Cunningham, also the founder of RLC, said the Stawell Gift was a ‘hidden gem’. “Before Clay brought the script to me, I hadn’t heard about the Stawell Gift before. But after doing some background reading and then reading the script, I fell in love with it from the get-go,” he said. “It grabbed the childlike instinct in me – this 140-plus-year-old race that had been a quiet achiever in the background. The film will use the Stawell Gift in the background, while the protagonist heads to a host of other Gift races before working his way back to Stawell.” He said he was confident the film would appeal to Australian and international audiences. “We want to make Australian movies that sit comfortably on the international stage because so often Australian movies made just for Aus-

tralians fail. I am confident Australians will recognise their own success in this story,” he said. Mr Watson, who is also known for acting roles including ‘The Kid’ in the Matrix sequels and his performance as Ian Chappell in ‘Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War’, said the script was ‘beautiful’. “Taylor Danforth and Ethan Panizza co-wrote this project some years ago and it got to me, and I brought it to Russell to get it up and going. Ethan’s family had been heavily involved with Gift races and their committees in Western Australia before,” he said. “As soon as people read it, even hardened men that I have shown it too, they were reduced to tears. Within a father-son story and the running of the Stawell Gift, it is one of those pieces that connects with people.” He said he had never been to a Gift race before but was excited to feel the ‘buzz’ and the ‘heat’. He said an ideal production time-frame would include an end-of-year start, however that was all dependent on sponsor and investor collaboration, as well as production logistics. “Anyone who has a genuine interest in this story we are happy to chat with - to see how they fit and how they could be involved with this sensational story,” he said. “Especially a regional story like this – it is something Australia needs. A rich authentic story based in regional Australia that people want to get out and see in theatres.” Mr Watson, Mr Cunningham and the film’s creative and executive team, have meetings with community leaders across the weekend. RLC Motion Picture Entertainment’s most recent 2016 project, ‘The Legend of Ben Hall’, told the tale of New South Wales bushranger and co-leader of the Gardiner-Hall gang during the mid-19th century.

Sisters are ready to race BY MICHAEL SCALZO

former Horsham runner and Stawell Gift middle-distance winner will return to the Grampians fringes this weekend with a relaxed and family-orientated mindset.

Zoe Nicholson, 25, has competed in the Stawell Gift carnival for eight years and claimed the women’s 800-metre win in 2017. A skillful and highly trained middle-distance runner, Zoe said running had become her ‘outlet’. After some years studying and running in Ararat, she moved to Tasmania to pursue a Master of Psychology. Her younger sister Caitlyn, 19, a sprinter, also has several Gift carnivals under her belt. She still lives at Moyston, near Ararat. Zoe will return to Stawell’s Central Park this weekend to run alongside her sister, with the entire Nicholson family watching from the famous grandstand. She said the chance to run alongside her younger sister again in the historic event was an opportunity she could not miss. “I hurt my quad a few seasons back and then re-injured it at the start of this year. But the Stawell Gift is such a classic event, with so much history behind it ... even though I was injured, I said to my partner, ‘I have to run’,” she said. Zoe said her goal this carnival was simply to reach the finish-line ‘unscathed’. “This year is a bit more relaxing for me, which is great – there will be a lot less pressure on my end,” she said.

GUIDANCE: The Nicholson sisters look forward to some more friendly competition at this weekend’s Stawell Gift with their family watching from the stands. Caitlyn Nicholson, left, and Zoe Nicholson, are pictured above after running in the 2019 Bendigo Gift carnival. “I love having the sport as my outlet. “I have fun and don’t take it too seriously now – but I still do my training. “Mum and Dad will be there and so will my older sister and my grandparents. While my brother will probably watch it from home, they all get around the event.” Zoe and Caitlyn will line-up against each other in a 400m event this weekend. She said the pair were ‘very different athletes’. “She is a sprinter, has a different

temperament and runs very different to me. But I always check in on her, guide her and keep her head focused,” Zoe said. “When we run against each other, of course there will be some competition there - but it is all friendly competition and in great spirit,” she said. It will not be the only competition the Nicholson sisters face this weekend. The carnival has attracted a highly elite field of Australian runners in 2022 including several top Athletics Australia runners.

Registration: Jeparit Anglers Club Rooms, Lake Rd Jeparit (Jeparit Golf Club): • Friday 15th April, 12 noon - 6pm • Saturday 16th April, 6:30am onwards Proud sponsor of the $2000 senior 1st prize Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Online registrations available from 1st April

Zoe said the high-quality field would be ‘great’ for the town after the societal limitations of successive COVID-19 interrupted years. “There will be lots of strong runners and will be very competitive this year, which is great,” Zoe said. “As runners, many of us have competed against each other for many seasons. “You build a lot of friendships and you have a chance to get together when everyone comes to Stawell – that’s until you get on the field.”

Family Easter fun Yarriambiack Shire Council has announced its Easter school holiday program. The program includes a first-ofa-kind human and animal first-aid training course. The course, which is happening today, is a collaboration between Casey Kosch First Aid and Your Family Vet. The council’s acting chief executive Tammy Smith said the course had been highly anticipated. “Pets are an extension of our families and for young people to have the confidence to treat their furry friend in a time of medical emergency is a great skill they will take with them for life,” she said. A Family Fun Day tomorrow will be in an outdoor area at Warracknabeal Library and feature a variety of activities. Attractions include a magician’s performance, games and puzzles, art and craft and story time. Jodi Toering, Yarriambiack author of ‘Mallee Sky’, will be at the Warracknabeal Library for an introduction, book reading and question-and-answer session. Toering will have signed copies of her book available for purchase for $25 on the day. There will also be a BMX, scooter and skate competition at Warracknabeal Skate Park. “The Family Fun Day really has something for everyone,” Ms Smith said. She said people can find out more via the council’s website www.yarriam biack.vic.gov.au or phone youth engagement officer Justin Knorpp on 5398 0100 or Yarriambiack Libraries on 5398 1270.

Venue support for music return

o-ordinators of two notable Wimmera music venues hope a substantial government grant will further a live-music return to their stages as COVID-19 restrictions ease and Australian musicians rediscover the regions.

Murtoa Mechanics Institute and Halls Gap Hotel received Federal Government money from round four of a $20-million Live Music Australia grant program. Halls Gap Hotel will use $27,500 for installation of sound and light equipment and Murtoa Mechanics Institute $31,800 to fund performance and musician fees as well as an open-mic program. Federal Member for Mallee Anne Webster said she was pleased to announce the funding that would allow Wimmera venues to continually host original Australian artists. “This critical funding will deliver quality Australian live music into regional communities, welcome local artists back on stage and help venues maximise their economic recovery and

sustainability,” she said. Murtoa Mechanics Institute secretary Andrew Clarke said the grant would allow the institute to present a ‘brilliant’ musical program. “We want to keep our hall in use and it is important to us and the Murtoa community to have good acts perform. There is no point in having a beautiful building if no one uses it,” he said. “With restrictions lifted, musicians are getting back to work and there are lots of venues competing for them. This allows us to make sure we have great music rolling through Murtoa.” Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts Paul Fletcher said the grants for small and medium-sized venues would attract more original live Australian music to many communities – from pubs in country towns to clubs and theatres in metropolitan areas. “Local pubs and clubs are vital to the live music economy, which is why we’re pleased to deliver $2.5 million to support 102 venues rebuild and become operational as COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease,” he said.

ENTHUSIASM: Wimmera Growers of Australian plants president Graham Goodes and the growers’ new life member Anthea Garth.

Recognition for native grower Anthea Garth of Horsham has become a life member of Wimmera Growers of Australian Plants, WGAP. Club president Graham Goodes presented her with the award in recognition of her services and supporting and promoting the organisation. Mr Goodes said Mrs Garth joined WGAP in 2004 after a propagating session run by the group. “In 2012 she took on the position of secretary, which she has since done with enthusiasm,” he said. “During that time she has taken on extra roles that went

Wimmera River track wins plaudits Long-time Wimmera River Improvement Committee member Gary Aitken has applauded the completion of a large section of a river walking and cycling track in Horsham. Mr Aitken said sealing of a section of connective river tracks between Horsham weir and Kenny Road was ‘absolute magic’. “It is part of a looped track

system connected all the way to Horsham Anzac Bridge that represents a most magnificent cycling and pedestrian highway,” he said. “It completes another area for people to enjoy the ambience of the river environment and Horsham Rural City Council should be congratulated for its support and promoting this project. “This type of development has

immense spin-off value, especially for general public health. “Some visitors also can’t believe what we have here.” Horsham’s river environs have been the target of significant development activity as part of major planning projects to capitalise on natural assets in the Wimmera centre.

above and beyond the role of secretary. This has included being responsible for registrations and organisation of the group’s 40th anniversary, opening her garden on several occasions to various groups and public and her impromptu cutting demonstrations at Horsham Spring Garden Festival. “One thing we have appreciated so much over the years is her delicious suppers. Her jelly slice is famous among our members and something she never forgets how to make. We also love her infectious personality. “We thank Anthea for serv-

ing WGAP with expertise and gracious good humour.” Mr Goodes said the club was now looking forward to presenting its ‘Establish an Australian Garden’ meeting tomorrow night. The gathering, from 8pm at Haven Hall, is open and free of charge to the public and includes information about soil and garden-bed preparation, watering systems, mulching and what to plant and where. “We want to help people establish native gardens from the ground,” Mr Goodes said. A selection of Australian plants will also be for sale at the event.

Shakespeare in the Grampians Shakespeare ‘in the bush’ will return to Grampians National Park’s Heatherlie Quarry this month when OZACT performing arts company presents the play Romeo and Juliet. OZACT, which has presented Shakespeare at the site for many years, will perform the tale of love from 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. Artistic director Bruce Widdop said the company was excited to be able to join audiences and help them again experience outdoor Shakespeare. “After a really tough two years, it is time to get out and have some fun. It’s a great opportunity to reconnect with loved ones and start enjoying some of the things that we love,” he said. Heatherlie Quarry, with its sheer rock faces, historic stone buildings and dramatic mountain scenery, has long provided OZACT with one of its favourite locations. Company leaders believe the architectural and natural elements of the setting provide a perfect setting for Shakespeare’s powerful love story. Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers who chart their own course for the future in a setting of hatred and self-interest. Shunning the hate of warring factions, in defiance of their families and in secrecy from their closest friends, the young couple risk all they have to be together, and pay a terrible price, Matt Young joins Widdop as director and Lisa Widdop is tour manager. The cast also includes company members Sorcha Breen, Ryan Ireland, Eleanor Ruth, Luke Ingram, Alexis Longley, Michael Davidson and Daniel Pitts. People can search ozact.com for details and tickets.

estern Victoria’s rare sub-species of red-tailed black cockatoos are among target species of a Federal Government funding package to help protect threatened species.

The government has allocated $724,547 for Mallee electorate projects as part of a Threatened Species Strategy Action Plan. Joining the $129,056 project for the south-eastern red-tailed black cockatoo are others for Murray hardyhead fish, $226,874 and $243,350, and black-eared miner bird, $125,267. Member for Mallee Anne Webster said the government plan overall represented ‘practical on-the-ground’ action to protect more than 60 priority threatened species. “Projects will also drive forward action under the government’s recently announced Threatened Species Strategy Action Plan, which sets a pathway to co-ordinate practical conservation efforts for our threatened species,” she said. “These community-led activities will help improve the trajectory of our most precious native wildlife with a range of flow on benefits for other species that share the same habitat.” Environment Minister Sussan Ley said the government had allocated a share of $12-million to the conservation and restoration projects through a $100-million environment restoration fund. “This includes action to restore and create important habitat, captive-breeding programs to boost populations as well as new feral cat and fox-management initiatives to reduce pressures from invasive predators,” she said.

“These community-led activities will help improve the trajectory of our most precious native wildlife with a range of flow on benefits for other species that share the same habitat”

– Anne Webster

The west Wimmera, in particular Edenhope district, is primary home of the south-eastern red-tailed black cockatoo, one of five Australian red-tail sub-species. Populations of the nomadic birds only occur in southwest Victoria and the southeast of South Australia in an 18,000-square-kilometre range stretching from the Little Desert National Park to Nelson on the south coast. Birdlife Australia is behind the ‘renovation revival’ project for the sub-species. It is also planning for an ‘annual cock count’ for the bird on May 7. The community count involves about 60 stringybark-forest sites, including the Wimmera. Details of how to get involved are online at redtail.com.au. Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board is in charge of a project designed to protect the black-eared miner bird from extinction, particularly from a hybridisation threat from closely related yellow-throated miner. The black-eared miner’s natural range is restricted to localised colonies from Hattah-Kulkyne National Park to the Murray River and into South Australia’s Mallee Murray region. Tiny Murray hardyhead fish are a threatened Murray-Darling system species.

REPAIR PROGRAM: Project Platypus program and team manager Allistair Stephens is pictured at a Mokepilly site soon to be the target of a revegetation effort.

Work to restore degraded land Project Platypus Landcare network volunteers will target degraded private land next to Mt William Creek at Mokepilly for a revegetation program. The site, the subject of weed control against invasive spiny rush in recent years, will become a new home to 6000 native plants as part of Project Platypus’s 2022 annual regional plantout events. Program and team manager Allistair Stephens said the network was still assessing the best time for the plantout. “At this stage we’re looking at mid-July because the winter months provide the ideal time for revegetation programs on this scale,” he said.

“The reason we’re targeting this area is because being directly next to Mt William Creek there is an opportunity to recreate habitat for local species and to improve general ecology outcomes in the area. “We’ve also had wonderful support from the landholder, who is also keen to improve the environmental value of the site.” Mr Stephens said Project Platypus was also planning another large event as part of the plantout program and a series of smaller activities. “So everyone keep an eye on our website and local media to keep abreast of what’s happening,” he said.

Mr Stephens said the networks revegetation program was important to ensure catchment health and sustainability moving forward. The upper Wimmera catchment plays an integral role in the overall health of the broader catchment. It is the start of a landscape involving an arterial waterways system stretching from the Grampians to the Mallee. Project Platypus is based in Stawell and supports Landcare activities in the region’s southeast through invasive-plant and animal-control, revegetation and community-engagement activities.

Milestone Subaru’s compact SUV celebrates 100,000 Australian sales

ubaru Australia celebrated a significant milestone for its XV, when its smallest SUV, which first arrived in showrooms in 2012, passed the 100,000-unit sales mark.

standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a choice of manual or Lineartronic automatic continuously variable transmission. Subaru updated the XV significantly in 2017 when the second-generation model range was launched in Australia. The GT-series range was the second to sprout from the Tokyo-based company’s acclaimed Subaru Global Platform, behind the GK-GT Impreza, and introduced qualities such as improved ground clearance, Apple CarPlay and

As Subaru’s premier entrant in the Compact SUV class, the XV was also the Shibuya-based brand’s first model to offer idle-stop technology. The original GP-series XV – sold as the Crosstrek in some markets – rode on the same underpinnings as the Impreza small car and featured

Android Auto compatibility and LED headlights to the line-up. In 2020, the range was joined by a pair of petrol-electric hybrid variants which became some of the most fuelefficient vehicles in their segment. The mild-hybrid versions offered a claimed 14 percent improvement in fuel economy in the urban cycle and seven percent improvement in the combined cycle over their petrolpowered siblings. Since 2020, Subaru has offered its X-Mode traction control system in the XV range.

Adaptive cruise control and lane centring assistants were also made available, while the midlife update further introduced SI-Drive across the XV range, which gave drivers more performance options. Subaru Australia managing director Blair Read said that although a decade had passed since the XV was first launched Down Under, it had evolved cosmetically and technologically to remain true to its fundamental purpose. “The success of XV has been its ability to offer consumers a compact

SUV that provides on-road and offroad capabilities, catering for cityliving and off-the-beaten-track getaways,” he said. “The XV sits in that sweet spot between the small and medium SUV category and provides an impressive package at an affordable price. “One-hundred thousand XV sales is a major milestone for the Australian retailer network and we are delighted the XV continues to meet Australian consumer’s needs.” – Matt Brogan

Equipment upgrades include an around-view monitor and a smartphone-mirroring infotainment system on high-grade GSR variants, with diesel-powered GLX cab-chassis and pick-up versions adopting a larger 7.0inch MiDisplay infotainment system with digital radio reception. The Triton GLS Deluxe and GSR remain available with the bright Tan Orange leather trim that was offered on MY22 models, in conjunction with an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats and leather-appointed door card inlays.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia chief executive Shaun Westcott said Triton was an enduring nameplate for the Mitsubishi brand. “Its reputation as a highly capable and reliable vehicle, combined with its wide array of accessory options and unmatched 10-year warranty, have ensured its ongoing success,” he said. “Whether looking for an everyday, rugged workhorse through to a fun family car, seeking adventure or just needing to ‘get there’, there is a new Mitsubishi Triton available to suit.” To date in 2022, Mitsubishi has sold 622 two-wheel drive and 6065 fourwheel drive examples of the Triton nationally. – Matt Brogan

Tesla bolsters March sales N

ew car sales in March hit their highest level since 2018, with a total 101,233 vehicles sold across the month – an increase of 1228 units over the same month last year and nearly 20,000 units in front of March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic officially began.

However, while that number might be a sign that economic recovery is on the way, it is still several thousand down on March 2018’s 106,988-unit sales tally, and it is also a number that is artificially pumped up by a newcomer to the VFACTS list: Tesla. Tesla officially recorded 4417 Model 3 sales for the month of March, however the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, FCAI, points out that number is actually the year-to-date total for the American brand, rather than a true reflection of its performance in March. The addition of Tesla – as well as another all-electric newcomer to VFACTS, Polestar – brings some much-needed accuracy to the FCAI’s recording of electric vehicle sales. With Tesla enjoying a considerable lead in the EV space – but being famously gun-shy about making its regional sales figures public – a true picture of EV uptake in this country has been lacking until now.

ON THE BOOKS: The addition of Tesla – as well as another all-electric newcomer to VFACTS, Polestar – brings some much-needed accuracy to the FCAI’s recording of electric vehicle sales. Despite the addition of two new brands to the spreadsheet, and a strong monthly result in March, new car sales in Australia still contracted slightly in year-to-date terms, falling by 0.5 percent relative to 2021’s first quarter result. Supply constraints due to the pandemic’s impacts on production are ongoing, as are shortages of semiconductors, while the longer-term impact of the Ukraine-Russia conflict on second and third-tier suppliers has yet to become apparent.

Toyota continued to assert its dominance in the showroom, coming in first place in the March sales race with 21,828 vehicles sold, and with four of its vehicles in the top 10 models list: Hilux, first, RAV4, second, Prado, eighth and Corolla, ninth. Toyota also increased its market share, with its 58,047-unit year-todate result good enough for a 22.1 percent stake of the total market. Mazda trails Toyota in second place, with its 11.4 percent year-to-date mar-

ket share proving the brand’s staying power in the Australian market despite it having one of the older product portfolios in the mainstream segment. The SUV market also appears to have cooled off somewhat. After a gangbuster 2021, where overall SUV sales expanded by nearly 80,000 units, the market for highriding wagons and hatches shrank in the month of March by 1.6 percent, with year-to-date sales dropping by 0.3 percent – a small change, but a

notable one considering last year’s surge in growth. Small SUV sales might be waning – especially in the premium space – but mainstream midsize SUVs made modest gains while mainstream large SUV sales are up by 11.9 percent so far this year. Upper-large SUVs continue to be hobbled by constraints on the Toyota Landcruiser 300 Series and Nissan Patrol, with that segment down by 34.6 percent year-to-date. Passenger car sales grew in March, though only by three percent and arguably only because of the sudden injection of three months’ worth of Tesla Model 3 sales. So far this year, passenger car sales have declined by a significant 9.7 percent. On the other side of the coin, light commercial vehicles have so far proved to be grinners in 2022, with year-to-date sales increasing by 6.8 percent across the segment and March numbers being four percent ahead of March 2021. Heavy commercial vehicles have made even bigger percentage gains, likely as a result in increasing investment in road logistics, which is also benefiting the light and medium van segments. – Tony O’Kane

A wild ride

Shiraz was her name. The strapping great horse in front of us stood tall. She was a beautiful chestnut colour, wild and free. We soon found out why the family friend had given her to us for free, as she was indeed wild (not broken in properly). The great deal didn’t seem to matter too much, as it just meant that I learned to gallop more quickly than intended. One day, I had just been on a lovely ride down the road. The sun was shining, and I felt relaxed and calm. My feet were not firmly in the stirrups, when suddenly Shiraz decided that it was time to gallop. Much to my surprise, I suddenly found myself on the side of the horse, hanging on for dear life, and telling Shiraz in no uncertain terms to stop! Well, Shiraz did eventually decide to stop, when she was ready, right in front of my neighbours’ front door. Life can take you to many unexpected places. The timing may seem incorrect, the place a little strange, or it might just feel outright desperately difficult. But – hold on. Just like Shiraz, Jesus is carrying you through the tough stuff, even if you’re only barely holding on. The Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:7 said that he fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. No matter what you are facing today, hold onto Jesus and don’t let go through this wild ride of life. Suzie McDonald, Seventh-day Adventist Church - Horsham, Stawell & Nhill

Crack shot to represent H

Honours for life member Rick Walker has become a Horsham Yacht Club life-member. Club commodore Ian Ruwoldt presented Mr Walker with the award at a season wind-up at the clubrooms earlier this month. Mr Walker arrived in Horsham working for Westpac in 1985, and owning a sailboat, needed somewhere to store it and to sail the vessel. On phoning the Horsham council office, Mr Walker spoke to Bob Wynne, himself a club life-member. At a committee meeting the following week, Mr Walker volunteered to fill both vacant treasurer and secretary roles. Apart from when the millennium drought closed the club, he remained on the committee until 2021. The yacht club, based at Green Lake, south-east of Horsham is hoping for an inflow of water into the lake before its season start in October.

orsham competitive shooter Ash Hawker has qualified to represent Australia for the first time after performing strongly at National Trap Championships at Wagga Wagga.

Hawker placed third in the national double-barrel category and second in the national point-score against clay target shooters from across Australia. Hawker is in an Australian Glenn Cup Team and will shoot against New Zealand representatives in Christchurch, New Zealand in June. He will also go on to compete in an Australian open team at world titles in South Africa in 2023. Hawker said the national competition was tiring; however, he was proud to have qualified to represent Australia. “I am feeling very tired. It was a massive week because I shot over 1000 clay targets,” he said. “I am super excited to be able to shoot against competitors from New Zealand and South Africa because everyone’s dream is to get that

My brother also got into it through school and my dad as well,” he said. Hawker said the Wimmera had a healthy competitive shooting culture. “There is a good sport shooting culture within country clubs and especially in Horsham. Everyone loves it. You can do the sport at any age if you have a licence,” Hawker said.

Leaders sitting pretty A

BY DAVID BERRY

ll three leaders in the most senior grades of Volleyball Horsham’s competitions go into the school-holiday break sitting comfortably on top of their respective ladders.

In A Grade, Dimitrios Vettos’ Hellenic Nuggets are a perfect six from six and are 13 points clear of second-placed Phantoms, with Rangers and Heidelberg rounding out the top four. The closeness of the competition was never more evident than when Tsunami and Rangers played a draw in the latest round. Alex Baker continued his consistent season for Tsunami, while Jack Hannan and Tom Roberts were the best players for Rangers. In A Reserve, Von Steiger Shadows also have a perfect record after six games and are 14 points clear of Heidelberg. Waterhammers, in third, and Blockparty round out the top four. Mitch Huff continues to shine for the Von Steiger Shadows and his consistency, along with the improving Gavin Brown, are why they are well clear on top of the ladder. In B Grade, Mark Radford has his Phantom Masters cruising along nicely, winning six from six. They are 10 points clear of the boys from HTLC Raiders. Hot Shots scored a strong win against Heidelberg last round and sit third while the Heidelberg girls are sitting inside the four with Team USA hot on their heels. In C Grade, Matt McLoughlin’s Holy St Pats have a four-point lead over the Lutheran year -2 student team Block It Like It’s Hot, with Heidel-

Horsham Hockey Club leaders are excited about the upcoming 2022 season after finally celebrating 2021 season achievements at Horsham Sports and Community Club. The club’s annual end-of-season celebration was delayed several times due to COVID-19 induced delays. Award winners included Launa Schilling, who won Best Club Person and Will Gulline, who won the openteam’s best-and-fairest award. Wimmera leaders said the Victoria School Roadshow Program that introduced more than 400 students from across the region to the sport was a particular highlight of last year. Leaders welcomed prospective hockey players to the club before the 2022 Wimmera Hockey Association season gets underway on April 30.

Wimmera dogs continue to shine at home meet BOX ONE BY PETER CARTER Wimmera greyhound trainers continued to roll on successfully at Horsham’s meeting last week, highlighted by their filling the first six positions in the first race of the afternoon. Ultimately it was Heather Baxter’s Downton Ivy defeating John WeirSmith’s Crymelon Ivy in the smart time of 27.49sec across the 4850metre journey to break her maiden

status in impressive style. Master Logan, for Josh McDonald, continued his good run of form, running a smart second in the second event on the card. Crymelon Comet, for Ian Bibby, qualified fourth-fastest for the 410-metre grade-five final. By the time the field entered the first turn in the final, Crymelon Comet was in a hopeless position near last. Pushing hard through the corner, Comet

straightened and flew home to run third at the odds of $53 to the highly talented Silver Brute. Comet is nearing a win in the very near future. Sinful Angel continued her impressive form, running a strong second in Free For All company and Heather Baxter added to her early success when Sweet Emily finished third in the Mixed 4/5 over 485 metres. The meeting finished as it started with local trainers winning the final

two races on the program and Alter Paddy made it three wins in a row for Beulah trainer Garry George. Alter Paddy won at Bendigo in near best-of-day time back on January 14 but didn’t face the starter again for two-and-a-half months after injuring herself in the run. On return from her rehabilitation program in the space of six days, she struck twice with wins at Warrnambool and Horsham.

Kraken Tex for Bill and Helen Hartigan incredibly stepped out for his 123rd start at the tender age of five years and two months. Tex showed age is only a number and gave no other dog in the race a chance after jumping straight to the front and winning with ease in the good time of 23.19 seconds. His record incredibly now stands at 123 starts for 21 wins, 20 seconds, 19 thirds and just over $47,000 in prizemoney.

Roos prevail in an opening-round thriller

The 2022 Horsham District netball season got underway at the weekend and round one results offered a mixture of surprise and predictability. Teams will have time to assess their performances during the Easter break before round two on April 23. The game of round one was between HarrowBalmoral and Noradjuha-Quantong — a thrilling match between season 2021 rivals. The Southern Roos got the better of the Bombers by two points at the final whistle, 46 to 44. The Bombers would be upset with the loss given a gut-wrenching two-goal margin. Laharum was dominant against Swifts, claiming a comfortable win, 58 to 24. Compared to the scale of its victories last season, however, a 34-goal win for the Mountain Maids might suggest a stiffness in the Swifts defence. Jeparit-Rainbow had a good win against Rupanyup, 74 to 22. The Panthers were predicted to have a tough

year in 2022, but credit should go to the Storm who have been on the improve for some time. The Storm’s true form will be known next round when a Panthers versus Laharum comparison is available. Natimuk beat Pimpinio 52 to 41 in a match that would impress Tigers supporters. The result might suggest Pimpinio have moved forward from a difficult 2021 season, when the team finished second-last on the ladder. A nine-goal loss to Natimuk is a step in the right direction given the Ewes are notoriously strong. Kalkee would be happy with its 46 to 23 win against Kaniva-Leeor. The Kees, who have welcomed players back to the fold and promoted juniors through the ranks, seemed to have worked hard in the off-season to get back to their strong A Grade pedigree. The 2021 fourth-placed Kaniva-Leeor might head back to the drawing board, though, after

the unexpected loss. However, one week of netball does not tell a seasoned tale. Round two will offer clubs a new challenge. Harrow-Balmoral will meet Kalkee in what should be a cracker of a match. With both sides having enjoyed great opening-round wins, it is a great chance to really see where teams sit in the early part of the season. Noradjuha-Quantong will have time to regroup before facing Natimuk, playing on their home-court in Quantong. Swifts and Kaniva-Leeor will both want to secure a win in round two after losses last weekend — a fact that will make for an interesting round-two clash at Stawell’s North Park. Edenhope-Apsley has a delayed start to the season. Their round-one schedule against Taylors Lake meant a week off after the Lakers did not enter an A Grade team this season. The Saints host Jeparit-Rainbow or round two at Edenhope. Pimpinio has a bye.

Break offers chance to reassess

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham District football teams will have an Easter break to ponder strengths and weaknesses after an eye-opening season launch last week.

Clubs have a chance to reassess circumstances and recover from early match-fatigue or injury and take fresh perspective into round two. First-round result observations have suggested a potential imbalance between top and bottom teams, but there is obviously still plenty to happen to provide clearer insight into fortunes. Most games at the weekend coughed up one-sided results with EdenhopeApsley and Kalkee scoring the biggest wins, against Taylors Lake and KanivaLeeor United respectively. Edenhope-Apsley, visiting Dock Lake Reserve, poured on nine goals to one in the opening quarter and powered on to a 133-point win, with a variety of players sharing in the spoils. With Codi Kenny, Tanner Robertson and Tim McIntyre winning best-player honours, Kenny with four goals, Matt Butler also kicked five goals, and Ben McIntyre four. For the Lakers, Michael Pohlner and Tom Clugston were best players. Kalkee was too strong for KanivaLeeor United, gaining momentum and increasing the margin as its game pro-

IN THE CLEAR: Harrow-Balmoral’s Tyler Hateley breaks clear of Noradjuha-Quantong’s Trent Grant. Picture: KAREN REES gressed against the Cougars at Kaniva. The Kees ultimately won by 112 points, with Jayden Kuhne collecting seven goals, Corey Williams five and Isaiah Adams four. Simon Hobbs and Jasper Gunn also starred in the win. For the Cougars, Kayne Councillor and Jock Maddern won best-player accolades. Another one-sided result that would have captured attention came at Balmoral, where Harrow-Balmoral was

a 67-point winner against 2021 fancy Noradjuha-Quantong. The Southern Roos, with the likes of Matt Jones, Michael Close, Will Plush and coach Nick Pekin, four goals, on song, controlled the contest all game, keeping the visitors goal-less until the third term. Wade Francis, Jayden Besford and Trent Grant flew the flag for the Bombers. Swifts also showed what it hopes to bring to the season, proving too big

and strong for Laharum at Laharum. The Baggies finished 62 points better than the Demons, also preventing the home side from scoring a goal until the second half. Jakob Sami, Angus Murray, Liam Scott and Ben Davis were all prominent in the Swifts’ victory. Laharum’s best were Hayden De Graf, Brett Ervin and Reuben Launder. A comprehensive result unfolded in a showcase under lights at Natimuk where Natimuk United won by 50 points against Pimpinio. The Rams had to come from behind early in the contest, seizing the initiative in the second term and then building on the advantage for the rest of the contest. Nathan Koenig bagged seven goals while Zach Smith, Sam Anson and Dylan Bates produced top performances. Clint Burdett’s Pimpinio couldn’t match the Rams mid-game but produced last-quarter goals. Dylan Arnott was good for the Tigers, as were Keegan King and Dylan Thomas. The closest game of the round emerged at Jeparit where Jeparit-Rainbow clawed its way back from an almost eight-goal quarter-time deficit to fall only two points short of beating Rupanyup. The Storm had more scoring shots than the Panthers but

the visitors held on to claim the points. Rupanyup’s best were Jack Kreuzberger, Daniel Weetra and Jordan Weidemann while Jeparit-Rainbow listed Kieren Parnell and Jacob and Thomas Long in its top three. A clash between the Storm and Edenhope-Apsley next week looms as a beauty. Next week: Pimpinio v Taylors Lake, Noradjuha-Quantong v Natimuk, Kalkee v Harrow-Balmoral, Swifts v Kaniva-Leeor United, Rupanyup v Laharum, Edenhope-Apsley v Jeparit-Rainbow at Edenhope.

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Rivals maintain strategic focus The split round-one schedule has given disappointed teams an extra Easter week’s break to pour over the stats and shuffle the magnets, while the winners might take a chance to celebrate a positive start to the year. Neither are an option for the Rats and the Warriors, who have one final training session to lock-in their pre-season efforts before a traditional Good Friday clash. The match, at Stawell’s North Park, kicks off a bumper Easter weekend for the Stawell home crowd, as visitors from around the country head to nearby Central Park for the Stawell Gift carnival. Matt Walder’s Rats, who have kept cards close to their chest having recruited Ararat-grown metro talent in the off-season, will back themselves to spoil the Warriors’ party. Walder said there was anticipation surrounding the game, but his side saw it as a ‘perfect’ opportunity to enjoy playing in front of a large crowd. “Obviously everyone down this way talks about it. Everyone has been excited about it for a while,” he said.

“Last year we carried a lot of debutantes into the game. Those guys will be another year older and more experienced. “We add them to the experience we added to our list during the off-season, so I’d like to think we are more mentally prepared for the match this year.” He said he was an advocate for blocking out ‘external noise’ to focus on what was ‘manageable’ — and so being the weekend’s standalone game was no disadvantage.

“I am a big advocate on managing what is in front of you. So when the fixture came out last year, we knew we had to be ready for April 15 – it is what we have planned for,” he said. He emphasised his focus was on his own side’s strategies this week, and not on what Warriors coach Tom Eckel had planned. “There is so much hearsay and a lot of talk that travels up and down the highway. They will worry about their backyard and of course we will have

an idea of what they are up to. But you have to get your own house in order first and deal with what is front of you on the day,” he said. Eckel said his side was keen to get off the training track and into the season. He said he expected ‘quick and erratic’ football in the first quarter. “It has been a while coming for both sides, so the first quarter will probably be hectic, but it will settle down after that,” he said.

“We will get our match-ups right, back our game plan and we can target their better players if we need to and nullify their impact. The league seems fairly strong this year, so early wins will be crucial. Getting the first win will be important.” In other first-round games, Nhill stepped up the heat, pushing Horsham into the fourth-quarter before the Demons kicked out to a four-goal win. The Tigers trailed by only three points at three-quarter time. Dimboola was blown away early in the piece against Southern Mallee Giants and never recovered the firsthalf loss. The Giants were in front by 45 at half time and 39 at the final siren. Minyip-Murtoa was always one-step ahead of Horsham Saints and rode steady through each change to claim a four-goal win. Next week: Warrack Eagles v Southern Mallee Giants, Ararat v Nhill, Dimboola v Minyip-Murtoa, Horsham v Horsham Saints, Stawell bye. Last week: Southern Mallee Giants 15.16 (106) d Dimboola 9.13 (67); Horsham 15.15 (105) d Nhill 11.11 (77); Minyip-Murtoa 11.9 (75) d Horsham Saints 7.6 (48). Ladder: Southern Mallee Giants 4 points, 158.21 percent; Minyip-Murtoa 4, 156.25; Horsham 4, 136.36; Warrack Eagles 4, 0; Nhill 0, 73.33; Horsham Saints 0, 64; Dimboola 0, 63.21; Ararat 0, 0; Stawell 0, 0.

Wimmera netball’s opening round will continue on Friday with a much-anticipated clash between Ararat and Stawell Warriors. As other Wimmera league clubs sit out the Easter weekend, the Rats and Warriors will battle it out in 2022’s first battle of the great divide. The clash at Stawell’s North Park also represents the opening instalment of the Perc Bushby Cup — a trophy that netballers and footballers from both camps compete for each year. Players and officials from both teams would have watched with interest how the rest of the opening round unfolded last weekend. They would have seen Southern Mallee Giants score a dramatic 38-37

win against Dimboola and Horsham Saints hold off Minyip-Murtoa to win 45-38 as Horsham watched from the sidelines. The Warriors and Ararat have traditionally heavily influenced what happens in Wimmera netball and this season is likely to be no exception. Stawell’s Courtney McIlvride said her team was looking to build on success and progress from last season. “We have maintained a lot of our key players from last season and picked up key mid-court players Lisa Stafford and Maddi Jelly,” she said. “After the growth and development from last year, we are super excited to see the girls working together this season.

“With a very young, versatile team we will have the upper edge with speed and fitness out on court. “Zanaiya Bergen and Ebony Summers can swing into both ends of the court, making them both very dangerous, and key defenders in dynamic Molly Orr and agile Lisa Fleming give us great depth in our defensive end.” McIllvride said key shooters teaming up with Bergen and Summers included young gun Madi Taylor and captain Jemma Clarkson. “A couple of more experienced players allow us to have depth in our players and our leadership out on the court is improving every week,” she said. Rebecca Skrabl of Ararat said her

team was excited and looking forward to its first game of the season. “There’s been an incredibly good vibe around the club this year. Numbers have been fantastic, with the club fielding its first C Reserve team, and great numbers at training,” she said. “A Grade had a slow start to the season last year and it cost us later on, so we’re keen to come out of the starting gates with a bang. “We’ve had three rotations out of A Grade — with Jessica Taylor coming back after having a baby and Hayley Holmes and Lauren Armstrong stepping up out of B Grade. This gives us some strong defensive capabilities across the court, as well as speed into attack.

“Good Friday is always a massive clash, and we know they’ll come out hard and physical, but we’re just concentrating on our own game. “The Stawell defensive end is always strong, so we’ve been working on our drive into goals. Tayla Borelli will be playing a massive part in that – she sets up an incredible amount of play, and she loves to play against Stawell. “Mon Scott has been dynamic this year and really proved herself last year, so I’m keen to see what she can show me, and Racquel Scott is always a match-winner. Overall, the team is incredible and gelling really well, so we just want to get out there and have fun.”

Quality field set to contest coveted races BY MICHAEL SCALZO

ore than 600 athletes stand ready to step onto the famed Central Park turf this weekend for a post-pandemic Stawell Gift carnival.

A bumper field of amateur and professional athletes will hit the grass for the heats across Saturday and Sunday with finals, including the prestigious 120-metre Stawell Gift, on Monday. The men’s Gift welcomes several previous winners and professionals, all vying for a $40,000 cheque. Gift winner from 2018, Tasmanian Jacob Despard, 25, will return to Stawell for another charge at the prize; as does his former housemate, fellow Tasmanian and 2018 Commonwealth Games sprinter Jack Hale. Despard said he was pleased with his 1.25m handicap given his win at the Melbourne Track Classic. Dual Gift winner and Stawell Hall of Fame inductee Joshua Ross will aim for an unparalleled third Gift win this year – given a 10m handicap. There is tough competition in Eddi Nketia, who will run off scratch, and Jake Doran, 0.5m, 2019 Gift winner Dhruv Rodriguez Chico, Aidan Mur-

phy and Jack Hale, all 0.75; and Calab Law, 1m. For the first time in the Gift’s history, Maddie Coates will start one metre behind scratch in the 2022 Women’s Gift, with a $20,000 prize available. Victoria Athletics League chief executive Tom Burbidge said it was ‘brilliant’ Coates was the first athlete to start behind the post. “Maddie is an exceptional athlete and we have enjoyed her success in recent years. She has won numerous races in pro running while continuing to improve along the way, which ultimately has led to her mark at Stawell,” Burbridge said. Women’s Gift runners Torrie Lewis and Bree Masters will start off scratch behind Mia Gross, Taylah Cruttenden and 2019 winner Lexi Loizou, who were given handicaps of 0.75m, 1.75m and 2.5m respectively. Lewis’ coach Gerrard Keating said his team had predicted Lewis, 17, would be ‘off zero’ in 2022. “It is an honour to be on such a mark at such a young age,” he said. Stawell Gift Event Management chairwoman Stephanie Spence said it was encouraging to see such ‘strong’

numbers after two interrupted years due to COVID-19. “Thanks to our partnership with Athletics Australia, we will have around half of the best male sprinters in the country and one of the best women’s fields in a long time lining up to run against a class field of professional runners,” she said. The unique $6500 1000m women’s handicap on Easter Monday is tipped a highlight and will attract both 800m and 1500m specialists. Starters include Tokyo Olympians Linden Hall, Catriona Bisset and Georgia Griffith and Australian athletic representatives Natalie Rule and Sarah Billings. Hall said she had visited the carnival as a spectator. “Racing on grass will be a new challenge and I am expecting a tough contest given the depth and quality of the field,” she said. “The 1000m distance is also unique but I think the 1500m runners like me are at an advantage as I believe it’s easier to race shorter than step up in distance.” The live free-to-air television coverage on Channel 7 begins Monday at 11.30am, before the 120m sprint finals just after midday.

Daisy seals dual gold at nationals A

BY MICHAEL SCALZO

young Horsham long-distance runner is gunning for future international athletic success after making waves in the Australian athletics community last week.

Daisy Sudholz claimed gold in two events at Australian Track and Field Championships in Sydney, winning the women’s under-17s 1500-metre and three-kilometre events. Sudholz started favourite in the 1500m event, having recorded three world under-20 qualifying times this season. She controlled her race-win from the start to win by more than two seconds from her rivals. Sudholz said she hit the lead in the threekilometre race with one kilometre to go and just ‘took-off’. “In the 1500m, it was with about 200m to go I realised I could seal the win. In the longer race, it was with a kilometre to go that I felt I had it in me to grab the win,” Sudholz said. She hoped the wins would secure selection to represent Australian in Oceania Championships in June. “Beyond that, the World Junior Championships might be possible in the next couple of years,” she said. Sudholz trained in her junior career under Horsham’s Rick Price and joined the Rod Griffin Running Squad after moving to Ballarat last year. She said professional runners she admired included Linden Hall and Jessica Holt and continued to train seven days a week. “I run every day,” she said.

“I am in the gym three times a week and have coached running sessions three days a week. On my off-days I jog between 10 and 15 kilometres.” She said despite her proficiency at both distance events, she preferred the 1500m. “The 1500m is shorter and that is probably my favourite, I find it more fun and exciting – the three-kilometre so many laps of the track,” she said.

A suite of successful gymnastic performances at a pre-state championship trial event in Melbourne have cemented championship qualification for several Wimmera gymnasts. Seven Natimuk and District Gymnastic Club gymnasts qualified for 2022 Senior Victorian Championships after compelling performances at the Gymnastics Victoria State Trial. Remi Bailey, Eli Bailey, Edward Jones, Hailey Pulls, Brooklyn Fraser, Myssi Patterson and Lani Jones will travel to Geelong Arena for the State championships from April 22 to 24. Natimuk club coach Lynette Morrow celebrated emerging Wimmera talent who travelled to Gymnastics Victoria’s High Performance Centre for the event. “It was tough on them and the standard was

very high in Melbourne. We were all unsure where everyone else would be at after COVID-19 but hard yards and hard training meant the girls and boys held themselves well,” she said. She said Natimuk was one of only ‘a couple’ regional gymnastics clubs to attend. “You can feel the pressure – especially when you head to Melbourne a little bit blind compared with big metropolitan clubs,” she said. She said it was important gymnasts continued training and upskilling to stay in touch with competitive leaders. “Everyone will have to lift before we get to Geelong because that’s what the best will do,” she said. “But anything is possible – it will probably all come down to hitting routines on the day.”
