Housing site search A

BY DEAN LAWSON

developer is on the hunt for a 1.21-hectare parcel of land in Horsham for a new multi-million-dollar ‘social and affordable’ housing project.

Ballarat-based Elmstone Property Group is exploring site options for an $8.2-million, 31-house development on behalf of community housing provider Haven Home Safe and the State Government.

The State Government has provided

Haven Home Safe with $47-million, as part of the first funding round of its $5.3-billion Big Housing Build, to construct more than 150 new homes across the state for people in need.

It will build two thirds of its houses in regional Victoria. As well as the 31 in Horsham, it will build 31 in Bendigo, 28 in Ballarat and 17 in Tarneit. The rest are in Werribee, 34, and Preston, 14.

It is one of 22 community housing agencies involved in the statewide social-housing build program.

The Horsham project involves 11 two-bedroom and 20 one-bedroom units, suited to singles, couples and small families either living in Horsham or with close connections to the community through work, family or support networks.

Planning specifications indicate it will create up to 150 jobs.

Haven Home Safe already operates eight rental properties in Horsham, four of them rented by the same tenants since 2012.

Elmstone Property Group director

Stuart Benjamin confirmed scoping for an appropriate site for the ‘single, integrated development, inclusive of car parking and recreation facilities’ was well underway.

“We work closely in partnership with Haven Home Safe and have been looking in Horsham for somewhere close to town and close to services,” he said.

“We have yet to identify where it might go and we’d certainly welcome anyone coming forward with a potential site.

“We want to start the project and have people living in the first few houses next year.”

Mr Benjamin said Elmstone was working with housing projects across regional Victoria as part of the government program.

“We have worked really hard to ensure Horsham was on the list to receive its fair share of funding,” he said.

niting Wimmera leaders are calling on community members to provide stable, caring homes for vulnerable children and youth who have experienced trauma or abuse.

VicTas senior manager of child, youth, families and residential in the Wimmera, Philip Yew, said Foster Care and Kinship Care Week – which runs until Sunday – was a perfect opportunity to highlight that now more than ever, vulnerable children needed safe and secure homes.

“Children and young people living out of home are among the most vulnerable people in our community,” he said.

“During Foster Care and Kinship Week, we celebrate all carers and the dedication and commitment they continue to show to children in need.”

The theme for 2021 is ‘Adaptability: Caring through COVID and the changed care environment’.

Mr Yew said a rise in domestic-violence levels had been well reported throughout the pandemic and had increased demand for care.

“Even though we’ve been in a pandemic, there have still been many children and young people who have needed care, whether for a short or a long time,” he said.

“The carers take care of young people 24-7 and in the current environment, this has included home-schooling.”

Mr Yew said Uniting was particularly looking for short-term carers, who could do placements of up to three months; placements from three months to a year; and carers for youth aged 12 to 18.

“We keep seeing a lot of requests for these sorts of placements,” he said.

“Short-term care or respite care can be from an overnight stay or months at a time, long term can be up until the child is aged 18.

“Carers come from diverse backgrounds and family types. They might be single or in a relationship, have children of their own, be working, studying or retired, and come from any culture, religion or sexual orientation.

“We have a diverse range of carers, right through the Wimmera, including Stawell, Horsham and Nhill.

“Our carers are so amazing – we honestly have some of the most wonderful, caring people in our community who support as many young people as they can.

“All of the children involved have experienced some form of trauma. They are not in care because they want to be there, but they need a safe place to stay.

“Our foster carers are volunteers, they get reimbursed, but not paid. They do it because they want to provide the support and safety that young people need.”

Mr Yew said becoming a foster carer took about three months.

“There are lots of checks and balances – it is a fairly stringent process, but there is someone there to support you through it the whole way,” he said.

“The support person can take you through what being a foster carer will look like and they will be with you for the whole journey.

“It’s not for everyone, but if you’re the type of person who wants to help provide a safe, supportive environment for young people, then give us a call.

“It can be at any time of the year. Foster Carers Week is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the wonderful work of our carers, but we are happy to add to our community at any time.

“It’s hard to fathom what effect it can have on a young person to have a safe place to be.”

Celebration

Mr Yew said the Uniting Wimmera foster care community involved about 40 families, who would be celebrated this week.

He said program leaders had planned a get-together at Up Tempo café in Horsham, however, COVID-19 restrictions had forced the event online.

Carers will receive certificates honouring one, five, 10 and 15-year milestones and each family will receive a hamper featuring regional produce and hand-made soaps as a thank-you gift.

Mr Yew said regional cafés would be giving away cookies to raise awareness of foster care opportunities.

He said the easiest way to become a foster carer or register interest was to call Uniting Wimmera on 5362 4000.

“We have a specialised team of workers who will start the process, or simply provide more information,” he said.

“Even if people just want a chat or an information pack, there is no commitment to become a carer.

“Foster care can sometimes be challenging, but with the right support our carers tell us the rewards far outweigh the tough times.”

Ms Kealy retains her roles as part of a reshuffled Liberal-Nationals coalition under returned Opposition leader Matthew Guy. Member for Ripon Louise Staley, meanwhile,

Staff promote health merger idea

H

ealth-service staff members across the region have spoken out strongly about potential benefits of a new western Victorian body created by an agency merger.

They have outlined thoughts on a Care For Our Region website merger partners are using to promote the concept.

A proposed new ‘Grampians’ health entity, which has polarised public opinion, involves Wimmera collective Stawell Regional Health, Wimmera Health Care Group and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital merging with Ballarat Health Services.

Christine Gunn, who has worked for the past 11 years as health information manager at Wimmera Health Care Group; Michael Kirby, on secondment

from Ballarat to cover a clinical and residential care services director role at Stawell Regional Health; and Edenhope and District Memorial Hospital after-hours and clinical training coordinator Sue Roberts all put forward their views on the website.

Mrs Gunn said she believed there was a lot of opportunity for the health services to work together.

“Working at a smaller health service you often work alone and might not be aware of a better way of doing something,” she said.

“One of the benefits I see of coming together is having the opportunity to confer and consult with others in a similar position.

“We will be linking all our resources. It’s been happening for a long time anyway through various partnerships like the Grampians Rural Health Al-

liance, regional meetings and committees. But this will formalise it and ensure it’s not just for particular areas but the overarching organisation.

“We often look to Ballarat in terms of best practice, we contact them and ask questions to get support. This will make it more seamless, processes will be more consistent and it will provide support for the participating regional hospitals who are sometimes lacking in resources or skills.

“For staff in the smaller health services there will more opportunities for them to learn from the best, to upskill to a higher level, just by being in contact with them you will learn.”

Mr Kirby said he saw his role as an opportunity to hone his skills in a different area and support Stawell in a fixed-term position that could be difficult to fill.

“I’ve been here for six weeks and it’s been a breath of fresh air to work in a new environment,” he said.

“I have really noticed how prominent the community focus is and the impact it has in all decisions made around the community.

“It’s a very exciting time to be here as we explore the new opportunities that coming together could present.

“I’m in a great position as I’ve been able to experience health care across the region, not just in Ballarat.”

Training benefits

Mrs Roberts, working at Edenhope hospital for almost 20 years, devotes two days a week to her clinical-training role, where she works with Wimmera Health Care Group to implement and develop training programs.

“A single health service offers in-

finite possibilities – it’s very exciting,” she said.

“As part of the Grampians regional educator group I’ve seen the amazing amount of knowledge, experience and skills that are in the region that we can tap into.”

The views are in stark contradiction to others across the region who remain opposed to the merger, believing such a development, if involving Ballarat, would erode or impede services and Wimmera development opportunities.

Other Wimmera-Mallee health agencies, West Wimmera Health Service and Rural Northwest Health, are not part of merger plans.

People can put forward their views on the proposed merger online at careforourregion.com.au.

Musicians to perform for families Horsham School of Music students will present two outdoor vocal showcases for family members on Saturday.

Vocal teacher Lisa Thomas said she was determined to get students to perform in front of a crowd this year following the disappointment of having to cancel the 2020 showcase due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students who learn face to face

Wednesday, September 15, 2021

– when restrictions allow – have prepared small ensemble and larger group songs as well as solos and duets.

Primary and secondary students will present a one-and-a-half-hour concert, with adult students presenting another concert later in the day.

Mrs Thomas said many of the students had experienced the disappointment of the cancellation of oth-

er regional performing arts events.

“It will be good for the students to finally show their work, even if only to a much smaller audience of family members,” she said.

Mrs Thomas said thanks to support from her family and Harvest Church, the concerts could be organised quickly following the latest lifting of restrictions on Friday.

From page 1 Haven Home Safe revealed there were more than 290 single people regarded as priority-one cases in Horsham who had registered with the Victorian Housing Register for social and affordable housing.

It also provided latest rental data that showed median rent for a twobedroom property in Horsham was $268 a week, or $526 a fortnight.

A single person on JobSeeker receives $620.80 a fortnight.

Haven Home Safe chair Damien Tangey commended the State Government on its investment, representing the largest social and affordable housing building program in Australia.

“For over 40 years we have worked with government, public and private partners and communities with one purpose in mind – to connect people with housing options and the support they need to find and keep a place to call home,” he said.

Chief executive Andrew Cairns said the Big Housing Build would change many lives for the better, now and into the future.

“It will significantly increase the support of affordable rental housing and support employment and economic growth in many regional towns and cities,” he said.

“Getting a job, studying and actively participating in your community is more achievable with a safe, secure, affordable place to call home.”

Haven Home Safe, providing $14-million as part of its role in the statewide build, owns or manages more than 3000 ‘social and affordable’

properties across Victoria. After construction in Horsham, it will own and manage the property and provide all tenancy-management arrangements.

Mr Benjamin stressed that the 31-house project was ‘completely’ separate to an Elmstone Property Group project in Alexandra Avenue in Horsham, a freehold development involving houses for individual sale.

Victorian Housing Minister Richard Wynne, in announcing an overall $740-million for 89 projects and 2352 housing units statewide, including $148-million for regional housing, said the project provided hope to thousands of Victorians.

“This is so much more than a construction project – it’s a safe place to call home, training and apprenticeship opportunities and thousands of local jobs,” he said.

Searle Street

In another housing development in Horsham, construction of six new two-bedroom ‘social and affordable’ houses in Searle Street will go ahead as a result of a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, VCAT, hearing result.

State Government agency Homes Victoria, which manages Victoria’s social housing system, took the matter to VCAT after a Horsham Rural City Council decision to refuse a planning application.

Homes Victoria anticipates construction of the Searle Street houses will start later this year and be ready for renters to move in before Christmas, 2022.

Wartook plans on schedule P

“There are still a lot of balls in the air but I feel we’re getting a lot achieved and ticked off while we’ve been in lockdown”

BY DEAN LAWSON

lanning for a $15-million first stage of a boutique holiday resort in the northern Grampians remains on schedule with a possibility the project could be shovel-ready by June next year.

Developer Australian Wildflowers at Laharum has completed much of the planning-submission requirements and is now finalising a nativevegetation assessment and bushfire-management plan.

Mount Zero Resort is earmarked for property owned by Australian Wildflowers, which operates a nearby farm, and near Flat Rock and Mount Zero Picnic Ground and abutting the Grampians Peaks Trail head.

Australian Wildflowers owner and managing director Jo Gardner said planning was now ‘all on track’.

“We’re working on finding potential operators with how agreements would work and finalising architect drawings,” she said.

“Hopefully when all the planning permits and processes are complete we can start to discuss details further with local business and finalise quotes. There’s a lot going on but nothing unexpected, so it is all very positive.

“We’re really grateful for the support from Horsham Rural City Council and the State Government and Member for Lowan Emma Kealy is also right behind us.

“We’re still working on hopefully wrapping up getting a planning permit before Christmas and breaking ground next year. When we get the planning permit process out of the way we can then get down to finalising drawings.

– Jo Gardner

“We would like to be shovel-ready by June next year.

“There are still a lot of balls in the air but I feel we’re getting a lot achieved and ticked off while we’ve been in lockdown.

“Hopefully this project is ready to go when we come out the other side of the pandemic.”

The first stage of the project involves 40 ‘luxury accommodation villas’, a function centre, spa and wellness facility, restaurant and café, car-parking and landscaping.

A long-term staged concept involves a range of up to 110 short-stay accommodation units.

Projections are that stage one of the resort will generate $26-million for the regional economy annually.

Planning figures also show it has the potential to generate $43.6-million in economic benefits in a construction phase alone.

They also show the venture generating 108 direct and indirect jobs during construction and 101 as part of annual operations.

Planning has involved almost three years of ground work and extensive consultation with municipal, parkland and firefighting agencies, independent consultants and the community.

Mount Zero Resort will be the first accommodation centre of its kind to tap into the northwest potential of Grampians National Park.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Well you’ve either got it or had it or know someone who has.

So what is it? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as described by the Mayo Clinic is when someone experiences numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand and it generally affects the thumb, index finger, second finger and sometimes the ring finger, but generally not the little finger.

This can be experienced as sensation travelling from the wrist to the forearm, be aggravated by driving or maybe it wakes you at night and feel you have to shake out your hand.

So what do we as Chiropractors do? Well interestingly enough we look at your neck and right down your arm. This is because the nerves which start at the base of your neck go down your arm and work the muscles of your arm wrist and hand. We check with specific positioning of the neck if we can recreate your sensation. We also check your neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist for jammed and locked up areas which maybe aggravating the nerves or causing the muscles to be tight. Now not only can these locked up areas be causing the problem; it may also be locked up area in your upper back. This is because your neck muscles go down this far and tight upper back can also be restricting neck movement. As a chiropractor we take into consideration that there are many factors which need addressing and work with our patients to get the best results. You may not need surgery.

Dragster brings back memories Horsham mother Naomi Jamieson will give her ‘Deadly Bike’ to her father after winning the $500 prize in a Horsham Plaza Father’s Day raffle.

Ms Jamieson said her father still had his dragster from his younger days and it looked similar to the ‘Deadly Bike’.

“He can start a collection,” she said.

“It might encourage him to get his old bike out.”

Ms Jamieson shopped at Kmart and entered the competition.

Plaza manager Allison Roberts said even though many stores were in lockdown, the plaza still had the competition to support those stores that were permitted to trade, and those offering click and collect.

“We were excited to team up with Dean O’Loughlin from Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative,” she said.

“The prize was a real eye-stopper, the dragster was suspended from the ceiling.

“It appealed to all ages, including my husband HELPING HANDS: Naomi Jamieson gets a push from her children, from left, Isabella Osmond, Elise Osmond and Kaizer Hateley. Ms who wanted to enter, but was not permitted.”

Jamieson won the bike in a Horsham Plaza promotion in conjunction with Goolum Goolum.

‘Border brokers’ for communities

T

he State Government will deploy a team of ‘border brokers’ to support industries and businesses impacted by restrictions on Victoria’s borders with South Australia and New South Wales.

The government has launched the concept based on awareness that communities split by interstate borders often operate as one and that industries and businesses on borders face unique challenges.

Interstate travel issues involving border communities in Victoria’s far west and the southeast of South Australia surrounding different state restrictions have been pressing for several months.

Regional Development Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said ‘local challenges need local solutions’.

“That’s why we are establishing a team of locally based border brokers to work alongside Victoria’s Cross Border Commissioner Luke Wilson,” she said.

“The team will include eight ‘brokers’ who will work in government administration and development of Grampians, Loddon Mallee, Hume, Gippsland and Barwon South West regions, all affected by interstate border restrictions.”

Ms Thomas said Regional Development Victoria and Agriculture Victoria – which already had strong mechanisms in place to support communities and industry – would lead the brokers.

“This team will ensure locals have a key contact on the ground to advocate on their behalf and will support businesses and industry groups

“The border brokers will work with me to ensure a local understanding of the issues and that these local needs are represented across government” – Luke Wilson

to address issues and challenges,” she said.

“Border brokers will work across state and local governments and with chambers of commerce, key agricultural stakeholders, industry, regional tourism boards and community groups to identify and triage issues.

“The team will work on solutions to challenges such as access to workforce and help to ensure supply of necessary goods and services to local businesses.

“The brokers will also be able to connect locals with the comprehensive support that has been provided by the Victorian government throughout the pandemic.

“In addition, brokers will be included in the membership of a Border Representatives Reference Group the government established last month.

“The restrictions in place along our border are necessary to keep border communities safe, but we understand that communities need support.

“The border brokers will be a new point of contact on the ground to help our communities impacted by challenges from the pandemic.

“They will be a crucial step in ensuring our border communities continue to have a strong voice as we recover from the global pandemic.”

Lotto winners searching for ‘dream home’ A Horsham couple is looking forward to retiring from work, buying a ‘dream home’ by the ocean and embracing the ‘beach bum’ life after winning $1-million.

The couple held one of two winning divisionone entries nationally in Monday and Wednesday’s Lotto draw 4111. Each winning division-one entry scored $1-million.

The happy Horsham pair admitted struggling to comprehend the million-dollar news.

“We are so nervous. We have been waiting for your call,” the winning woman said.

“We’re so doubtful. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to people like us. Are you sure?

“This morning, I got out of bed and checked my ticket straight away. I was half asleep, so I couldn’t see the screen properly, but then I noticed all six numbers were lit up.

“I went and got my husband to check, and he said, ‘No way! That can’t be right’. This is unbelievable. It’s life-changing for us.”

When asked how they planned to enjoy their million-dollar prize, the overjoyed duo admitted they had one thing in mind.

“We are both going to retire from work,” the woman said.

“We’ve been dreaming about this moment.

Then we are going to move and buy a place right on the beach. We want to be beach bums. We’ve already been house shopping online this morning and have picked out a few we’d like to look at.

“We’ve won at the best time because this means we can really enjoy life and have a fantastic retirement.”

The couple bought the winning ticket online at thelott.com.

NEW GANTRY ON ALBERT STREET

ARARAT TO BLOOM THIS SPRING Ararat Rural City Council is greening spaces across the CBD with roundabouts and landmarks to be adorned with flowers, bringing life and colour back to the streets.

Council chief executive Dr Tim Harrison said the enhancements carried out will transform Ararat, brightening up and attracting more traffic to town.

years – for bringing greenery and colour into the city centre and providing a haven for our bees and butterflies.

“With restrictions easing, bringing people back to the CBD safely will add to the region’s economic recovery. The flower gardens will add a splash of colour and create a buzz, attracting visitors to our rural town,” he concluded.

“Residents may have noticed our Parks & Gardens team planting new garden beds in the front of and around Alexandra Gardens,” Dr Harrison said.

“Over the past week, around 200 flowers have been planted across Alexandra Gardens, including 36 roses and 40 natives such as Callistemons, Hakeas, Agonis, added to the native garden beds.

“If you walk past the Horseshoe Gardens, you’ll notice 50 Osteospermums have been planted to create a carpet of colour that will flower all year round.

Works by Council Staff were carried out last week to install a new gantry on Albert Street to reduce the likelihood of larger vehicles hitting the rail bridge.

“Alexandra Gardens is a treasured park for our community; we are hoping to get people out and about to enjoy the blossoms as we come into the warmer months.

Other improvements include white painted poles, new line markings on the road and replacement of old road signs in the area.

“Over down on Barkly Street, planting for two bright and colourful roundabouts featuring purple Dianellas, Acacia Leaves and Gallipoli Roses have kicked off this week.

The work on Albert Street between High Street and Currajong Avenue will bring road safety improvements for motorists travelling through the north-south corridor of Ararat.

“Two roundabouts on Barkly Street and the roundabout at High and Banfield Streets are getting a refresh to fit with the ambience of our town,” Dr Harrison continued.

The new gantry with a low clearance sign and reflective markings will reduce the likelihood of larger vehicles hitting the bridge and improve the safety of motorists using Albert Street.

As well as the gantry, old road signage has been replaced on Albert Street alerting drivers about the low-clearance bridge.

Drainage works were carried out at the bridge -- an extension of pipes to prevent scouring happening down along the side walls.

Council staff removed debris and cleaned out the gutters along the road underpass beneath the rail line.

The upgrade will ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles throughout town.

Tragedies hit communities hard A

mid the constant dismay of hearing of people dying from COVID-19, came the horrific news yesterday of a fatal car crash on the Western Highway.

Many of us sunk in our chairs and took an anxious breath as we absorbed gut-wrenching news that two people had died and another was seriously injured near Dadswells Bridge.

The tragedy was an awful reminder that while the numbers of people who have died from COVID-19 continued to rise, we have long experienced other deadly ‘pandemics’ that have seemingly always gnawed away at everyday life.

Road trauma and tragedy has been a common companion for western Victorian communities and fundamental in a persistent lobby for safer roads and better public-transport options in our part of the world.

The last thing we needed to hear yesterday, while trying to navigate through

EDITORIAL

By Dean Lawson

the stresses of the COVID pandemic, was news of another tragedy on our roads.

It hit some of us like a ton of bricks and as always, immediately had us thinking about family and friends.

It has been a case of us going in with all guns blazing to limit a death toll from COVID-19.

And for years there has been a consistent groundswell to fight the impact of various fatal illnesses.

Considerable effort also goes into powerful messaging about the ever-present danger we face on our roads.

And it’s events such as yesterday’s dreadful crash that illustrate our vulnerability.

In the end, we remain unsure, beyond demanding better roads, safer public-transport options, incentives to get more freight on rail, more resources for road-rule enforcement and continuing programs and projects promoting driver safety, what else to do.

If there is a profound one-off answer to eliminating the road-toll scourge, it remains elusive.

Saving lives is the primary incentive behind our massive response to fighting disease. It must also always be the motivating factor in tackling the incidence of road trauma. We have lost 161 people on Victorian roads this year.

In most cases we can only really encourage everyone to always consider safety for themselves and, critically, others – be it during a pandemic, on the road or, in short, everything we tackle.

We feel for and extend best wishes to all people hurting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Take the lead

157 Baillie Street HORSHAM

SIR, – As a former community leader, I maintain a genuine interest in the people of the Wimmera.

These are challenging days, and over the past 18 months, we have heard the consistent messages to ‘look after one another’, that ‘we will get through this’ and that ‘we are all in this together’.

We are all hoping for brighter times and we yearn for assurance.

There are many voices and opinions, attitudes and convictions, rules and regulations, doubts and decisions.

One of the best things that we can do, in the latter part of 2021, is to make an informed decision, to consider accepting a COVID-19 vaccination – if we are able – and to encourage those people that we care about, to do the same.

And, we ‘will’ get through this... together.

Faith in regional people

SIR, – Thank you to all regional Victorians. Each of us are continuing to do our versions of ‘the right thing’ in response to COVID-19. What everyone is doing is working.

This week I have seen examples of the art of asking resulting in random acts of kindness.

I have seen kindness being paid forward.

Small selfless acts speak louder than political rhetoric.

My faith in regional people being there – anywhere – for each other, is renewed.

Border handicap in wildflower harvest

V

ictorian and South Australian travel restrictions are causing a major issue for a Wimmera wildflower business trying to operate farms on both sides of the border.

Complications surrounding interstate travel means Australian Wildflowers is struggling to recruit seasonal workers to harvest banksia blooms, a key element for commercial posies, in South Australia.

Australian Wildflowers, which has Wimmera farms in the Wartook Valley, Mt Talbot and Clear Lake, also harvests flowers at Lucindale, Naracoorte and Furner across the border.

Owner and managing director Jo Gardner said interstate travel restrictions had made it hard to build a workforce necessary to cut and transport the flowers.

“We can’t get banksias picked to anywhere near what we need to at Lucindale. We’re trying to recruit, but it’s ‘blind’ recruiting and while we usually have backpackers filling the roles we can only appoint people in SA,” she said.

“We have a couple of pickers, but we could be doing four times as much as we are and it’s already had a big impact on the business.”

But Ms Gardner said she ‘completely’ understood the border restrictions, adding that it was another aspect of the pandemic that demanded the business keep adapting.

“I understand where the South Australian government is coming from in having stricter testing and vaccination guidelines for travellers,” she said.

“It’s a smack in the teeth for us, but it’s fully understandable.

“Our duty of care is for our communities and work productivity must take a back seat in this circumstance. We have stringent occupational, health and safety guidelines and we are really proud of our workforce abiding by these and keeping them front of mind.”

About 80 percent of the banksias that go towards the thousands of posies the business creates, grow in the South Australian farms.

The South Australian picking team operating out of the Lucindale base usually involves six or more people.

“The two are hanging in there,” Ms Gardner said.

She said her business had applied for all exemptions but the process was overwhelming and the best and safest process was to try to get more South Australian locals involved.

“Our core focus has to be community safety.

We’ll just grin and bear it and get back there when we can,” she said.

“In the current climate there is no point panicking – if you do that you’re just going to wear yourself out. We’re still getting our stuff out the door, but just not as much as the market would like.

“Meanwhile, if there’s anyone in the Lucindale, Naracoorte area looking for a seasonal picking job just contact us. Details are on our website.”

The majority of Australian Wildflowers’ staff is based at Laharum.

Vaccination push in region’s west

made E-asy!

At Priceline Pharmacy, we’re here to help make things easier when it comes to managing your medications.

R

egional health services are in the process of completing a week-long COVID-19 vaccination surge in Nhill.

The aim of the surge, involving a joint effort between health services, is to vaccinate as many Nhill and west Wimmera residents aged 12 to 59 as possible this week.

Nhill Community Centre has become a mass vaccination centre as part of the vaccination push.

Grampians Sub-Hub COVID vaccine rollout co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley encouraged people to make the most of the opportunity and make vaccination bookings.

“To make a booking for the Nhill centre, people can call Goroke Community Health Centre on 5363 2201,” she said.

“The Goroke centre is helping with the bookings by making the appointments for each of these sessions.”

Ms Lilley said there would be similar sessions next week in Kaniva, on September 23, and Goroke on September 24.

“This is a catch-up opportunity for all those under 60 to get vaccinated and we encourage all over 60s to continue to, as a matter of urgency, attend their GP, as this is the best way for them

to access vaccines,” she said. “This is a fantastic collaboration between West Wimmera Health Service, Wimmera Health Care Group, Grampians Public Health Unit and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.”

Earlier this month, tightening border restrictions between South Australia and Victoria fuelled calls to speed-up establishing COVID-19 testing and vaccination facilities at Nhill.

Plans were underway to re-establish a testing station for interstate truck-drivers as Member for Lowan Emma Kealy made the call.

Ms Kealy has been among community leaders lobbying for more vaccination opportunities in the west Wimmera to help ease pressure on Victorian-South Australian border communities.

She said at the start of the month: “Many locals have reported the earliest they can get an appointment to be vaccinated is October, meaning those unable to be vaccinated could face being cut off from their jobs, school and essential services such as supermarkets, their GP and petrol stations.”

Constantly changing cross-border health-exemption travelling rules has also created significant concern in the Wimmera’s west where some people need to cross the border for family-health reasons.

Hindmarsh Shire Council has advised that due to easing COVID-19 restrictions it will now push ahead with a free green-waste month promotion.

A free green-waste service will operate at all council transfer stations during normal operating hours until October 10.

The project is aimed at encouraging residents to tidy their yards before the onset of warmer weather and the start of the fire-danger period.

Our committee, management and staff look forward to seeing you all soon

Thank you for your support

Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay said the promotion provided a great opportunity for people to enjoy the spring weather while exercising at the same time.

“It also gives residents a great opportunity to clean up their properties,” he said.

Waste transfer stations are at Dimboola, Jeparit, Nhill and Rainbow.

Accolades for long-serving teachers

T

eachers and education administrators across the Wimmera and southern Mallee are among recipients of long-service awards as part of a statewide recognition program.

The State Government has recognised 342 staff members for more than 40 years of service to the Victorian education sector, acknowledging dedication, hard work and persistence over many decades.

Recipients include Leonie Clarke, Rainbow P-12 College, and Joylene Boehm, Murtoa College, for 45 years of service.

Others acknowledged for 40 years of service include Heather Hutchins and Michelle Ismay, Rainbow P-12 College, Peter McDonald, Nhill College, Peter Clayton, Warracknabeal Special Development School principal, Dale McRae, Horsham College and Susan Tyler, Rupanyup Primary School.

Education Minister James Merlino congratulated recipients, acknowledged through a Recognition of Service to Victorian Education program.

The breakdown of recipients included 174 teachers and staff recognised for 40 years of service, 119 staff for 45 years of service, 40 staff for 50 years of service, and nine staff for 55 years of service.

Mr Merlino said the awards reflected many years of provision of ‘fantastic’ education to Victorian students.

“I know all Victorians are with me when we thank them for their decades of dedication,” he said.

“Whether they work in the classroom or in an office supporting schools, everyone receiving recognition for their service to Victorian education has made a huge contribution to our Education State.”

Mr Clayton said he had taught at the same school since 1981 and agreed he ‘wouldn’t swap it for quids’.

“I do what I love. When I get up in the morning I know I’m going to work to do something I really enjoy,” he said.

“I get to do what our core business is – to make the kids the best possible people they can be by the time they finish their time with us.

“That’s what I enjoy – seeing the change and growth in the kids.

“Some of the first kids I taught would be in their mid-50s now.

“How we go about teaching of kids with additional needs has completely changed.

“We’re more in line with mainstream ON THE JOB: Warracknabeal Special Developmental School principal Peter Clayton is celebrating schools.”

40 years of doing ‘something I really enjoy’.

Money for maintenance FIVE-DAY forecast Schools across the Wimmera-Mallee will join others across the state in receiving a financial boost to undertake essential maintenance projects.

The State Government is funding projects as part of a $17-million term-three allocation under a planned maintenance program.

The program is designed to ensure schools can undertake essential work to grounds and classrooms, fix roofs and windows, paint, resurface floors and replace windows, as well as external landscaping works such as pathways and lighting.

Essential maintenance works are based on up-to-date information on school conditions to create a faster and more targeted investment allocation.

More than $2.8-million is earmarked for maintenance of ‘Shelter-in-Place’ buildings, to provide temporary shelter for staff and students during bushfire emergencies until emergency

services arrive, or as a shelter of last resort, at 22 schools. This investment is in addition to more than $22-million in State Government allocations under the program in terms one and two.

Funding recipients – Yarriambiack Shire: Minyip Primary School $40,000; Murtoa College $505,000; Warracknabeal Primary School $235,000.

Ararat: Buangor Primary School $30,000.

West Wimmera Shire: Goroke P-12 College $60,000; Kaniva College $185,000.

Northern Grampians Shire: Stawell Primary School $35,000; Stawell Secondary College $5000.

Hindmarsh Shire: Dimboola Memorial Secondary College $415,000.

Buloke: Charlton College $70,000.

In the past seven years, the State Government has invested more than $10.9-billion in building new schools and more than 1700 school upgrades.

The car was pushed into oncoming traffic, colliding headon with another vehicle.

The female drivers of both vehicles died at the scene.

A male passenger from one of the vehicles was airlifted to Royal Melbourne Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The uninjured male truck driver was arrested and is assisting investigators with in-

quiries. The Western Highway was closed for most of the day while detectives examined the crash scene.

Police urged anyone who witnessed the crash, has dash-cam footage or any information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a report online at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Wildlife boom as water settles W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera catchment managers have predicted a boom in spring wildlife activity at the mouth of Lake Hindmarsh near Jeparit in response to water settling in the lake.

They have noted the spill of water from the Wimmera River, the result of winter rain in the region’s upper catchment, is already generating a considerable environmental response.

The expansive terminal lake, which has collected water only periodically in the past 20 years, is holding a ‘pool’ of about 12,000 megalitres of water.

The natural lake can hold as much as 430,000 megalitres and on the rare occasions it fills, directs water into Outlet Creek towards Lake Albacutya.

Wimmera Catchment Management Authority chief executive David Brennan said despite relatively dry weather across much of the region in the past fortnight, water was continuing to find its way from the river to the lake.

“There’s only a trickle going into the lake at the moment, but the good news is that we had rain in the upper or southern areas of the catchment only a week or so ago when other parts of the region missed out – in some places up to 20 to 25 millimetres – and that was enough to keep the upper system flows ticking along,” he said.

“Fingers crossed again that we get some more spring rain.”

Mr Brennan said the onset of warmer weather, combined with water, provided natural environmental triggers.

“It won’t be long until we start to see movement with a lot of water birds at Lake Hindmarsh, particularly duck species,” he said.

“That’s the type of response we’re expecting, considering there are plenty of early indicators such as people hearing a lot more frogs.

“These indicators, which represent an increase in aquatic life, tell us the eco-system is responding and rebuilding itself.”

The lower Wimmera catchment and waterways in the northern Wimmera provide a snapshot of the stark boom-and-bust contrasts underpinning environmental life in the region.

Little more than a decade ago, during the millennium drought and before 2011 floods, the lower-catchment of the Wimmera River near Jeparit was capturing international scientific attention.

The river in places had transformed from a typical oxygenated inland waterway that supported freshwater eco-systems into non-oxygenated and concentrated saline environments.

Stretches of the river at the time were regularly changing colour, causing considerable riparian dieback and evolving into anaerobic systems that supported limited, if any, recognisable life.

Environmental discharges in the Wimmera River, sourced from water-sharing allocations outside natural flows, are designed to mitigate circumstances that lead to a return to similar circumstances.

The 2011 floods helped restore environmental balance in the river’s lower reaches but fell short of filling Hindmarsh.

CATCHING THE BREEZE: Stawell Yacht Club’s Ross Bennett in his Impulse dinghy ‘In a Pink fit’ when he won the club’s 2020-2021 pennant series title.

Sailing plans underway Stawell Yacht Club has used the onset of spring to turn its attention to the start of the 2021-22 sailing season.

With the traditional start of the season being the first weekend of October, members of the small but busy club are keen to go sailing.

They are anticipating the high water level of Lake Fyans, holding 86 percent of its capacity, will ensure excellent water quality well into the new year.

The club’s biggest sailing event for the season is the Melbourne Cup weekend regatta on the last weekend in October and an organising group hopes the event will be able to proceed.

Planning for the regatta has started and its go-ahead will hinge on public health directions and associated rules leading up to the event.

The regatta usually attracts sailors from across Victoria.

In other news from the club, last season’s pennant series winner Ross Bennett has won the trifecta.

Being well and truly in the lead by midway through the last sailing season, he also won a Yardstick Trophy for the best club sailor and in August at an annual meeting took on the role of commodore.

Mr Bennett takes over from Mark Knights, who as com-

modore had to guide the club through the uncertainty of the last two seasons.

Stawell Yacht Club members also hope to run a ‘Learn to Sail and Race’ program in November.

The program will target people who might already have sailing experience or novices keen to learn a new and challenging competitive sport.

Free use of sail-training dinghies will mean the club will keep costs to a minimum.

Limited spots are available for the program and the club will provide more information in the near future.

H

ow quickly the percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can rise is likely to determine how quickly communities can emerge from lockdowns and severe restrictions.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are therefore encouraging people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District to quickly assess if vaccination is right for them.

We in turn urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid delaying in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic.

The Wimmera has historically been among the best regions in Victoria in embracing vaccination programs and we encourage everyone to help maintain this high bar as we push through the COVID-19 pandemic.

As well as keeping as many of our people as safe as possible, lifting the vaccination percentage rates across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District will strengthen a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus.

We can all play our part in beating this scourge.

Let’s put our collective shoulder to the wheel and do what we can to open up our communities.

Ararat Rural City Council is strongly supporting the awards, which are scheduled for November and open to Ararat district businesses.

Council chief executive Tim Harrison said sponsorship support for the awards reflected a confidence in the ability of the regional business sector to emerge from the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Award nominations have been coming in steadily, which also tells us that businesses are looking forward and beyond

the obvious anxiety and hardship of the pandemic. It really shows that not only is confidence bubbling away in regional Victoria, but also Ararat district,” he said.

ACE Radio Wimmera manager Brendan O’Loughlin said The Weekly Advertiser and 3WM and MIXX FM were pleased to continue strong support of the awards.

“But perhaps more so in the current environment, where businesses have had to quickly adapt and adopt a high level of resilience,” he said.

“From our perspective, we see providing this award as a consolidation of our faith in Ararat district businesses and the role they play in stimulating economic recovery and growth.

“Ararat businesses are a critical part of the bounce-back jig-saw in our region and we’re right behind them.”

Businesses can apply for the awards until October 1.

Business operators can download entry forms for various award categories on website Ararat.vic.gov.au/east-grampians-business-awards-2021, request an application form via email pcairns@ ararat.vic.gov.au or call 5355 0241.

Money to help capture history Community projects across the Wimmera are beneficiaries of State Government funding to preserve, record and share Victoria’s history.

Arapiles Historical Society will use a $7470 grant to buy and install display cabinets, Warracknabeal Cemetery Trust will put $6287 towards a Warracknabeal

Cemetery Public Historical Record project and Dunmunkle Sumpoilers Historical Engines Museum at Murtoa will use a $500 grant to install a public photo display.

The latest round of Local History Grants run by Public Record Office Victoria involved 52 projects sharing in $350,000.

FREE SCREENS: East Grampians Health Service breast care nurse Sarah Carter promotes the BreastScreen van’s visit to Ararat in October.

BreastScreen van to visit Ararat BreastScreen Victoria’s hot pink van will visit Ararat next month to provide free breast screening for the district community.

The van will operate in Ararat from October 11 to 29.

East Grampians Health Service breast care nurse Sarah Carter encouraged women aged 50 to 74 who were due for a breast screen to make an appointment.

“We would really love to see the appointments fully booked, as this will hopefully mean the van will return in two years to enable those who had their breast screen this time to follow up with their next two-yearly screen,” she said.

Women aged between 50 and 74 should have a free breast screen every two years.

The screens are the best way to find breast cancer early, before there are symptoms and when treatment is most successful.

All breast screens are with a female radiographer, in a friendly and safe environment.

People do not need a doctor’s referral or Medicare card, and screens take 10 minutes.

BreastScreen Victoria has safety measures in place to protect clients and staff against the risk of COVID-19.

This includes mandatory face

masks and spaced-out appointments to allow for physical distancing, and extensive cleaning between appointments.

More information about screening during COVID-19 is available on BreastScreen Victoria’s website, www.breastscreen.org.au/ coronavirus.

The van will be in Ararat Library car park. Entry is via an RSL car park on High Street.

People can make appointments for the Ararat van online at breast screen.org.au or by calling 13 20 50.

Kealy: Little for hospitality

M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy believes thousands of regional hospitality businesses will remain shut and their staff will still be out of work as a result of ‘unworkable’ new regional Victorian restriction rules.

She said the State Government had offered a glimmer of hope for country hospitality businesses with the easing of a regional lockdown last week.

But she added that with patron capacity limits so low, for many it remained unviable to reopen.

Ms Kealy said many business owners had told her details of the

‘easing’ gave them no choice but to stay closed for the foreseeable future, with some describing restriction changes as ‘mind-boggling’ and ‘meaningless’.

Regional hospitality businesses can only open with 10 patrons inside and 20 seated outside.

“This is not a plan to reopen.

It’s a cruel blow to regional hospitality businesses who hoped they would be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel,” Ms Kealy said.

“Allowing a maximum of up to 30 patrons is a fraction of the capacity of many venues that would normally seat hundreds of diners at any given time.

“Pubs, restaurants and cafes have detailed COVID-safe plans and practices in place to keep patrons and staff safe.

“The chopping and changing of restrictions are devastating to hospitality businesses already struggling to stay afloat.”

Ms Kealy said many hospitality venues had already made the hard decision to cut back opening hours and staffing numbers.

“A 30-person capacity is a kick in the guts to venues that have been operating at a fraction of their capacity for 18 months now,” she said.

“The government’s unworkable rules have delivered no

“This is not a plan to reopen. It’s a cruel blow to regional hospitality businesses who hoped they would be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel” – Emma Kealy, right

hope and no plan for regional hospitality businesses.

“This is just another cruel blow to regional pubs and clubs by a Premier who doesn’t care about the damage his government’s iron-fisted approach is inflicting on regional Victoria.”

Rural councils welcome report The peak representative body for Victoria’s rural councils has welcomed a major report outlining a need for a more ‘robust’ approach to infrastructure planning across Australia.

Rural Councils Victoria chair Mary-Ann Brown said she welcomed Infrastructure Australia’s Reforms To Meet Australia’s Future Infrastructure Needs report on national infrastructure planning for the next decade.

She said a movement of people from metropolitan to regional areas demanded major planning analysis.

“I welcome the report’s stated ambition to set an ambitious vision, to anticipate and adapt to change, manage risk and deliver infrastructure that works towards the future needs of the community,” she said.

Rural Councils Victoria represents ‘small’ regional and rural councils, some of which operate throughout the Wimmera and southern Mallee.

Cr Brown said in the year to the end of March, a record 22,651 Melburnians had moved to rural and regional Victoria.

“This movement of people is, as it should, forcing a rethink on how infrastructure is put in place in rural and regional areas,” she said.

“For instance, rural Victoria has long needed urgent investment in infrastructure ranging from roads to aged care, to health care, to housing, to broadband and that was just to accommodate community needs pre-COVID. “With the exodus from the cities, that investment is even more urgent.”

Cr Brown reflected on an Infrastructure Australia report statement that: “Tomorrow’s infrastructure is likely to look very different to today, and the way infrastructure is planned needs to embrace this uncertainty.

“Historically, infrastructure planning has sought to project future conditions as an extension of today, then provided infrastructure to meet anticipated demand,” she said.

“In 2021 and beyond, the approach must be more robust.”

New life for heritage hall

Half-century celebrations

D

ecades of dances, presentations, celebrations and performances are set to enter a new chapter when contractors install a new floor in Horsham Town Hall’s historic auditorium.

The floor has experienced generations of foot traffic for everything from debutant balls, wedding receptions and fashion shows to Blue Light discos, concerts and art and trade shows since the town hall opened in 1939.

But the floor in the state heritagelisted building is at the end of its life with sanding of ageing floorboards no longer viable as a rejuvenating option and ‘sinking’ sub-floor issues.

Horsham Rural City Council is replacing the floor as part of a $534,715 project.

The State Government is providing $200,000 from its Living Heritage program and the council $334,715 through 2021-2022 and 2022-23 capital works allocations.

Preparation work on floorboards will start this November and full construction works are scheduled for November, 2022.

Council strategic planning and heritage co-ordinator Stephanie Harder stressed there was a need for extreme care in the project to ensure heritage values of the floor remained intact.

“The grant received through the Living Heritage program will see the removal of all the existing floorboards, and replacement like-for-like floorboards,” she said.

“After scientific analysis, the original floorboards have been identified as mountain ash. Care will be given

Wimmera Association for Genealogy will celebrate its 50th birthday next month.

The association, which helps people explore family histories and ancestry with investigative insight and guidance, will celebrate the occasion with a gathering at Horsham Sports and Community Club.

It is still finalising a date for the occasion.

President Tony Ward said former members keen to join in celebrations could contact Ian Rees via email wimmeragenealogy@gmail.com to find out more.

“We believe 50 years is a milestone worth celebrating,” he said.

“We’re all a bit surprised that it’s crept up on us and we want to connect with older members.”

LIKE-FOR-LIKE: Horsham Rural City Council creative services leader Shana Miatke in Horsham Town Hall’s historic auditorium. The floor will be replaced for the first time since being built in 1939. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER to ensure the wood varnish applied draws out the same light yellow and pale pink colours of the floorboards seen today.

“The sub-floor, including the stumps and joists will also be replaced, and issues relating to water damage under the floor will be investigated.”

Ms Harder said a new sub-floor system would be designed to minimise and mitigate long-term movement and damage to the floor and the likefor-like floor reconstruction ensured traditional carpentry-style and architectural qualities of the floor were

protected into the future. The project involves retaining a section of original sub-floor construction and the retention of floor boards at the auditorium entrance.

This is to ensure clear understanding of earlier methods of construction and details surrounding the age of the floor is not misleading to future generations. New materials and installation techniques match the old, but are still distinguishable from the original.

The council has also applied these heritage-conservation principles to re-upholstered balcony seating in the

auditorium. When in place, the new floor will again be open to major functions and activities in the heritage hall, with works having preserved the structural integrity of the building.

This floor-replacement project follows extensive conservation works as part of Horsham Town Hall redevelopment.

This has included refurbishment of a gallery terrazzo floor, reupholstering of seating in the balcony, painting with heritage colour schemes and the repair of Art Deco lighting.

Dear Supporter I am writing to you to address some concerns which have been raised regarding how the announced proposed amalgamation of the Wimmera Health Care Group (WHCG) with Ballarat, Stawell and Edenhope Health Services may affect the Foundation.

I provide the following information in order to clarify the position of the Foundation in light of this.

The amalgamation only affects the health care service as such and does not affect the Foundation because the Foundation is totally independent of the WHCG, which does not control the Foundation or its capital resources.

The Foundation is solely controlled by a trustee company, namely Wimmera Health Care Group Foundation Pty. Ltd., of which Penelope Manserra, Sue Frankham, Alison Butler, David Johns and myself are the current directors.

Further, the power to remove or appoint directors of the trustee company rests solely with the Foundation’s directors. Neither the WHCG nor its Board of Management have any control in this regard.

Pursuant to the Foundation’s Trust Deed, the Foundation is legally obligated to make donations only to the WHCG (Horsham and Dimboola campuses).

The Foundation is not permitted to make any donations to any other health service.

All directors are determined that the funds held by the Foundation will remain for the sole benefit of the Horsham and Dimboola campuses of the WHCG, being the purpose for which your donations were made to the Foundation.

The Foundation is extremely grateful for your significant support and financial assistance to date and trusts that this will continue post amalgamation. After all, it is your support and financial assistance that makes it possible for the Foundation to donate funds to the WHCG for the purchase of much needed medical equipment and improvement of its services.

Yours faithfully,

Graeme Hardman

Chair WHCG Foundation

Kealy: Reforms a must for health

M

ember for Lowan Emma Kealy is urging the State Government to support ‘simple’ reforms to open the door for hundreds of extra workers for Victoria’s mental-health workforce.

Ms Kealy, Victorian Opposition representative for mental health, said six lockdowns continued to weigh on the youngest Victorians and the state needed to look for ways to boost a mental-health workforce in schools.

She said an anomaly in legislation prevented people qualified as counsellors from offering guidance counselling services at Victorian schools.

“Our kids can’t afford to wait any longer for more specialist support to help them get through the isolation of lockdown,” she said.

“The mental-health workforce is under intense pressure and in desperate need of more resources.”

The Liberal-Nationals introduced a Private Member’s Bill in State Parliament last week to change the definition of a ‘mental health practitioner’ under the Mental Health Act. Registered psychologists, registered nurses, social workers and registered occupational therapists are already covered by the Act. Ms Kealy said the Liber-

al-Nationals proposed to expand this definition to include registered counsellors in an effort to unlock more than 2000 additional mental-health workers to support students across the state.

“Backed by the Australian Counselling Association, this is a small change that will make a world of difference to young Victorians by ensuring the right support is available, when they need it,” she said.

“This common-sense reform will unlock more mental-health workers to cover the surge in demand, which will make a world of difference to our youngest Victorians.”

FAITH AND HOPE: Christine McWilliams reads prayers for Afghanistan, which have been laminated and placed on an outdoor art space outside Stawell Uniting Church.

Prayers for Afghanistan Stawell Uniting Church members have banded together to show care and compassion for people in need, hosting a spontaneous ‘prayer vigil’ ahead of the latest COVID-19 lockdown.

Minister for Stawell and Pomonal Uniting churches Susan Pearse said following the vigil, prayers for Afghanistan had been laminated and placed on an outdoor art space at the front of the Stawell church.

“While news breaks across the world and disasters unfold, we ask each other, ‘What can we do?’” she said.

“This is the case in many situations, whether it is an event like 9-11 20 years ago, bushfires or any other disasters.

“While there are various ways to respond, through humanitarian or political support, people of faith and hope find another way to respond.”

Reverend Pearse said this was the case with current trauma for many in Afghanistan following last month’s complete takeover

by Taliban forces.

She said the prayer vigil enabled congregation members to ‘do’ something.

She encouraged people from the wider community to write their own hopes and prayers and place them in a container at the church, to be laminated and displayed.

“As well as supporting the call of churches to encourage the Federal Government to increase the numbers of Afghan refugees to Australia, we wanted to show a sign of solidarity and hope for those in need,” Rev Pearse said.

“We welcome those wishing to add to the hopes and prayers.”

‘Incredible bunch’ of graduates N

ine young Ararat district residents have celebrated their graduation from a Western Bulldogs’ Youth Leadership Project.

Program leaders highlighted participant accomplishments during an online graduation ceremony.

Western Bulldogs Community Foundation general manager Kashif Bouns, Bulldogs player Cody Weightman, Ararat Rural City Council chief executive Tim Harrison and Ararat Cr Bill Waterston spoke during the ceremony.

Now in its fourth year, the project aims to help develop community leaders aged between 14 and 16 through a sixth-month program in Ararat.

The program encourages Ararat’s youth to interact with key leaders in the community, develop their leadership skills and create a social-impact project.

Dr Harrison said the Ararat council was proud to celebrate the achievements of the participants.

“I’ve had the opportunity to speak with the group on several occasions, and they’re an incredible bunch of young people,” he said.

“We’re fortunate to partner with the WBCF to deliver such a great program, which without the efforts of co-ordinators wouldn’t have been possible.

“It’s exciting to see there’s interest from young people in working with council to have their voices heard and help us shape their future.

“As part of the project, a new Ararat Youth Group will be formed with the participants to engage with the council.

“The group will address challenges facing young people in our community.”

Co-ordinators Hannah Singleton and

FOUNDATIONS OF THE FUTURE: Ararat participants at a Western Bulldogs Youth Leadership Project camp from earlier in the year.

Maggie Toohey said they were particularly proud of the Ararat group, which despite having experienced three lockdowns, persevered with online sessions and completed their socialimpact projects.

“We congratulate all the participants on their achievements and incredible motivation in creating their social-impact projects and contributing to meaningful conversations about their community,” Ms Toohey said.

“From bonding with other members at camp to listening to community guest speakers, the participants have been one of the most engaged and enthusiastic groups in the program.

“Over the six months, participants discussed topics from gender equality, mental health, leadership styles and public speaking and celebrated culture while working on their social-impact projects.”

Participant Amber Bligh applied for the program after hearing a passionate student speak about her experience with the program.

“I was extremely happy to find out that I had been accepted to the program – I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and improve my public speaking skills,” she said.

“My favourite part of the program has been attending camp.

“Meeting people from all backgrounds has been an amazing opportunity and I’m thankful for all the new friends I’ve made from the program.

“To me, this program not only means making friends but also finding out more about myself.”

Ararat’s Boldly Bulldog Participant of the Year Jaylen Stephens first heard about the program through her brother and her teachers encouraged her to apply.

“I initially joined the Bulldogs’ youth leadership project to further my leadership skills,” she said.

“Reflecting on my time with the program, I realised how much I’ve gained – from developing leadership skills, building confidence in myself and improving my public speaking.

“It was great to get to know the group and meet people I wouldn’t normally get the chance to talk to.

“I recommend that my peers join the leadership program as you gain skills that you’ll continue to use for the rest of your life.”

Dr Harrison said strong communities relied on community leaders.

“Young people are the future of our community, and we want to engage with them over the next few years to create a better future for our municipality,” he said.

Furniture for Jeparit New street furniture will start becoming part of Jeparit’s streetscape in the coming weeks.

Hindmarsh Shire Council is installing the furniture as part of a project with Jeparit Town Committee.

The project is a continuation of a program to replace outdated concrete and timber seating across Hindmarsh Shire with new seats made of powder-coated steel-frames fitted with ‘modwood’ or plastic-timber composite slats.

In most circumstances the new seats will be located where existing seats are, but the council will install others in new locations.

Hindmarsh mayor Ron Ismay thanked Jeparit Town Committee for its support in identifying the style of seat and selecting installation locations.

“In accordance with appropriate disability-access compliance parameters and Australian standards, the new seating will be positioned on the kerbside of footpaths to enable easier and safer access for all users,” he said.

“This is the same process undertaken in other towns where new street furniture has been installed.”

Jeparit Town Committee has requested some of the existing seating being replaced be relocated and re-used at various locations throughout Jeparit, including at the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum and Jeparit Cemetery for visitor use.

Available now New platform, suspension, brakes and updated engine for Ram 2500 pick-up

T

he new Ram 2500 heavy duty pick-up truck has arrived in Australian showrooms to sit alongside the recently launched DT series 1500, priced from $157,950 plus on-road costs.

torque from just 1700rpm with drive typically sent to the rear wheels, unless the standard BorgWarner electronic transfer case is set to either its high or low-range four-wheel drive modes.

To help the 2500 better cope with the demands of heavy duty-haulage, the front and rear axles are both new for this model in the name of improved durability, payload management and refinement.

Its ladder-frame chassis is all-new and has been built with ‘98.5 percent high-strength steel, six separate crossmembers, hydroformed main rails and fully boxed rear rails for optimal strength and mass efficiency’.

Available in just the single Laramie trim level – a RamBox-equipped version is also available – the 2500 is powered by a turbocharged 6.7-litre Cummins straight-six diesel engine developing 276kW of power and a mammoth 1152Nm of torque, allowing for a braked towing capacity of up to 8000kg.

Paired to six-speed automatic transmission, the engine develops all that

Despite this, the new model weighs 64kg less than its predecessor due to extensive use of lightweight materials, including aluminium throughout the platform, body and powertrain.

Ram says the 2500’s ‘frequency response damping’ shock absorbers in all four corners, along with progressive springs and upgraded bushings, ensure maximum composure when loaded and maximum comfort when unladen.

The braking system has come in for an overhaul too, with new callipers, booster and master cylinder as well as a larger-ratio pedal swing.

Those familiar with the cabin of the latest DT 1500 will feel right at home

in the 2500 with a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system ruling the centre console.

Drivers score a configurable 7.0inch digital display within the instrument cluster as well as a digital rearview mirror, leather upholstery, active noise cancellation, premium 10-speaker Alpine sound system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

A 360-degree camera system is also included as standard, as are trailer sway control, trailer reverse guidance and camera-based payload monitor.

Headline safety features comprise adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with active braking, lane departure warning and blind-spot

monitoring with rear cross path and trailer detection.

RAM Trucks Australia national manager Jeff Barber said the redesigned 2500 marked the start of the next-gen heavy duty truck rollout with the super duty 3500 not far behind.

“Built for serious assignments, the all-new 2500, which will be joined soon by the next-gen 3500, sets new benchmarks in performance, capability, technology and luxury,” he said.

Ram has sold 2566 vehicles in Australia so far this year ending August 31, the vast majority of which, 2556, have been 1500s with the existing 2500 contributing 10 sales.

People-mover sales reach for Staria

H

yundai Motor Company Australia is confident its new Staria will help recapture a greater percentage of sales in the peoplemover segment.

The new, eight-seat Staria replaces the outdated iMax in Hyundai’s lineup, rejuvenating a product offering that has been on sale since 2007.

That model’s design age, commercial van underpinnings and related lack of safety technology and amenity levels saw its sales slump to just six percent of the segment in 2018 and nine percent in 2021; numbers considerably lower than the model’s peak market share of 22 percent in 2014.

This year, sales of the Hyundai iMax are the lowest in its class.

The dated model fell well short of segment-leading Kia Carnival’s 56 percent segment share, as well as various others, including the Honda Odyssey, 14 percent, LDV G10 11 percent, and Volkswagen Multivan, nine percent.

HMCA head of product planning Simon Bartnik said the people-mover segment in Australia was very small and had been severely impacted by COVID-19 related travel restrictions.

“It’s a segment which is largely driven by business and rental fleet sales, so it’s not an exaggeration to say COVID cut the segment in half,” he said.

DIFFICULT ROAD: HMCA head of product planning Simon Bartnik said despite the people-mover segment in Australia being severely impacted by COVID-19 related travel restrictions, the company believes it has a very strong value proposition in the Staria.

“Until COVID began to affect segment sales, it was a segment which was relatively consistent over the past 15 years, and that’s despite a lot of cross-shopping – and a great deal of new stock

Australian buyers clearly favour comparable sized and priced SUVs over people-movers. Sales of medium five-seat and large seven-seat SUVs dominate the passenger car market.

Over the past 12 months, just 8795 people-movers have been sold nationally against a year-to-date figure of 40,981 new SUV sales, or 50.5 percent of the market overall.

And with international travel off the table for the foreseeable future, it is unlikely a new people-mover will attract the sales levels Hyundai needs to dominate the segment – despite the model offering driveline, safety and technological improvements that render most in its segment obsolete.

Mr Bartnik said HMCA believed incremental volume increases were achievable, but admitted it was facing a difficult road ahead.

“We do expect increment sales on top of what the iMax sold,” he said.

“We believe we could see higher sales numbers than we did at the peak of the iMax’s popularity, and obviously we’d like Staria to achieve that.

“But there are certain limitations within the segment itself.

“That said, we believe we have a very strong value proposition in the Staria versus other market entrants and SUVs, so we’re hoping to pick up some volume there.

“But at this stage, in terms of market share and in referencing what the iMax achieved over its lifetime, we think that’s a reasonable position to be in.”

Megane E-Tech Electric is born

T

he Megane, once a stalwart of Renault’s passenger car portfolio, has been reinvented as an all-electric SUV as alluded to by last year’s Megane eVision concept.

LEADING THE WAY: Renault has introduced the Megane E-Tech Electric as it strives towards a sustainable future.

In terms of performance, Renault says the most potent version will launch from 0-100kmh in 7.4 seconds and push on to 160kmh.

Six variants have been confirmed so far, the main differences being powertrain configuration and charging capabilities; up to 22kW AC and 130kW DC, the latter said to add up to 300km of range in 30 minutes.

The batteries themselves are only 110mm tall and are housed under the

floor, resulting in a centre of gravity 90mm lower than that of a current internal combustion Megane, even with the new car’s taller and more SUVlike build.

As with most electrified vehicles, the Megane E-Tech Electric is fitted with a multi-level regenerative braking system providing four settings that range from virtually no regen through to a true one-pedal drive experience.

Inside the cabin, the dash and cock-

pit are dominated by what Renault calls the ‘OpenR single-screen’ – an L-shaped display comprising the 12.3inch digital instrument cluster as well as the portrait 12-inch infotainment and HVAC control screen.

Not all variants will get this futuristic feature, with base models confirmed to make do with a more traditional two-screen set-up; one for the instrument cluster and another for the infotainment.

Underpinned by the Alliance’s new CMF-EV modular platform, the Megane E-Tech Electric – to use its full name – has retained many of the concept car’s key attributes, including its 4210mm length and 2700mm wheelbase, while the roofline is just 5mm lower.

Including the mirrors, the production version measures between 17701780mm wide, whereas the concept was slightly wider at 1800mm.

Even away from the dimensions, the clearest direct relation between the two is the production version’s front lighting signature, including the full width light bar – albeit with more traditional LEDs and globes – as well as the same squared-off, concave rosegold bumper inserts.

Under the aerodynamically optimised skin will be the choice of two different battery-electric powertrains; one developing 96kW-250Nm and one developing 160kW-350Nm. Each version can be paired to either a 40kWh or 60kWh lithium-ion battery pack, gifting the Megane an effective range of up to 300km and 470Nm on the WLTP cycle respectively.

Other standard equipment highlights include large-diameter aerodynamic alloy wheels, integrated automatic door handles, ambient lighting and recycled and sustainable trim materials along with Alcantara upholstery and Nuo wood inserts.

Up to 26 advanced driver-assistance systems are fitted to the Megane ETech Electric, most of which have been bundled under several smaller umbrellas.

Just some of these include active driver assist, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, forward and reverse auto emergency braking, safe exit assist, a 360-degree camera, full auto park and smart rearview mirrors.

Full specifications and a detailed model line-up will be released closer to the global launch next year.

Renault Group chief executive Luca de Meo said the Megane E-Tech Electric embodied the electric revolution that Renault started a decade ago.

“By democratising the electric technology, new Megane succeeds in making the electric vehicle affordable, with no compromise on efficiency and driving pleasure,” he said.

“What this vehicle conveys is emotion, we have created it as the GTI of electric vehicles.”

local plumbing & electrical specialists Bondys Contractors has established itself as a well-known name across the Wimmera in the past 10 years.

In response to additional demand for high quality electrical, refrigeration, solar and air conditioning services, Bondys Contractors has set up bases in Horsham, Ararat and soon to be new destination, Ballarat.

Even though Bondys Contractors has been operating in the Wimmera and District for some time, owner Lachlan Bond thought there was an opportunity to expand even further South.

Bondys Contractors will continue to supply a vast range of services including air conditioning sales, installation and maintenance, electrical contracting, mechanical services, solar installation and coolroom supply and installation.

With Winter fast approaching, Bondys Contractors looks forward to assisting even more people with their heating, cooling, electrical, solar and refrigeration needs in the Horsham, Ararat, and Ballarat regions.

For a free, no obligation assessment and expert advice for homes and businesses, why not drop into one of Bondys Contractors’ showrooms today?

WARRACKNABEAL

JEPARIT

4 Kokoda Ave – Set on the west side of the creek is this spacious family home. The home consists of 3 bedrooms plus an office that can also be used as a bedroom, lounge with wood heater and new carpet, kitchen with a large pantry, bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet, evaporative cooling, an external laundry with a 2nd toilet and a pergola. But wait until you see the shed, it is a huge 17m long by 9m wide and 3m walls with concrete floor and powered. You don’t see many sheds like this on residential homes. The yard is well fenced and the property really not far from the main street of town.

Lots 9 & 10, 122 Craig Ave – Unique opportunity to purchase two unit blocks being sold as one, totalling 455m2. Located across from the Yarriambiack Creek, in one of Warracknabeal’s highly sought after areas and set amongst existing units & quality homes. Ideal for the investor looking to build their property portfolio, or the owner occupier wanting to build in a great area of town. With a shortage of unit sites available in Warracknabeal, these blocks are a rare find in a prime location.

190 Scott St – The current owners have modernised this home by opening up the living area to create a huge open plan. The home features 3 double bedrooms with pressed tin ceilings, combined bathroom/laundry with a shower over bath, toilet, vanity, trough and auto- washing machine taps, a large kitchen space with a dishwasher and a split system in the lounge keeps you comfortable all year round. Outside there is a single c.arport (double if you have 2 smaller cars), garden shed and a blank canvass to add your own garden design ideas. This property is currently rented until at least 28/1/2021 for $955.95 per month ($220pw).

4 Edith St – This home needs some TLC & a bit of renovating but would come up really well. Featuring 2 dbl bedrooms, sep lounge with an open fire place, kitchen with a gas stove, bathroom with vanity & shower which leads to a dual access toilet. Pine floor boards are the real feature of the home & once polished would look stunning. The amount of shedding is amazing, for a start you have the original single garage plus lean to, both enclosed, then you have another shed with a personal access door plus lean to, behind that is more storage with a wide access door, then you have the 40ft x 20ft 2 bay garage with a storage/workshop area & a 2 bay lean to. None of the sheds have power or concrete floors but if you need storage space this property has it in spades.

DUE TO COMPANY GROWTH WE HAVE MULTIPLE VACANCIES FOR HC & MC DRIVERS Christian Devotions

Together we win

Aussies love their AFL. So, what can the rules of footy teach us about being winners.

1. Persistence over Perfection Footy is great fun to play if one can keep up with the physical demands and the friendly rivalry to out speed one’s peers. It forges personal discipline and a positive attitude in the face of adversity.

Persistence means showing up every week and not giving up. Keeping the pressure up against the opposing team regardless of the score.

2. The Power of Teamwork A person can only go as far as the team goes. Nowhere else is this better demonstrated than in the game of footy. More than just physical fitness, the players are there to encourage, support and push one another through the necessary difficulties to realize their shared goal: Winning the Grand Final.

3. If you don’t shout out for the ball, you ain’t gonna get it!

In a footy game, clear communication is definitely the key to having a chance of winning.

In everyday life, we need to persist, never give up and keep our eye on the ball, have one another’s backs and communicate clearly and definitively.

The Bible, is our rule book for life, teaching us to persist in the face of adversity; that God is always on our side, that we will win in the end and that together, with God and one another we are a majority.

Future looks bright for Vinny H

BY TONY LOGAN

orsham owned and trained gelding Vinny Rock looks to have a bright future judging by his impressive, all-the-way victory in the $7000 two-year-old maiden pace at Wedderburn on Sunday.

The son of Pet Rock USA made a luckless debut three weeks ago at Horsham, when interfered with by a wayward runner. But driver Grant Campbell eliminated any chance of a repeat when he used the youngster’s gate speed to quickly cross to the pegs.

When in front Vinny Rock was relaxed and content to amble through the middle stages of the 1750-metre trip at a leisurely tempo.

When Campbell released the deafeners and gave his charge more rein with 400 metres to go, Vinny Rock responded with a dash to the post in 29.1

seconds, 13 metres clear of his nearest rival. Vinny Rock is a half-brother to the former smart performer Bou Chard – eight wins, $66,670 – and was bred by Robbie Connelly from his Safely Kept USA broodmare, Doutzen.

Stawell

Charlton trainer Shane Sanderson was victorious at Stawell last week with Vanquish Stride in the $7000 threeyear-old pace.

With Kerryn Manning in the sulky, Vanquish Stride was eased to the tail of the field from outside the front line at the start, with more fancied stablemate Graphite Stride – Ryan Sanderson – finding the lead from gate four.

Manning found a sweet three-wide trail forward in the last lap on the back of Ozzie Playboy – Alex Ashwood – and Vanquish Stride finished full of running to score by six metres in a mile rate of 1:59.6 for the 2180-metre journey.

Maiden victory

Rainbow owner-trainer Stuart Cocks made a return to the Mildura winner’s circle last week when his four-year-old mare Two Jacs broke through for her maiden victory in The Gateway Pace.

Driver Michelle Phillips gave Two Jacs the run of the race on the back of the leader Ironbark Fella – Reece Moore – for the majority of the 1790-metre contest and at the 400-metre mark was able to move away from the pegs to challenge.

In the run to the post, Two Jacs proved the strongest of the four that had cleared away from the rest to fight out the finish and scored by a neck in a mile rate of 1:59.2

Twice the win

Horsham owner-trainer-driver Aaron Dunn enjoyed double delight at Bendigo on Saturday with Maxactor and Bon-

di Lockdown both impressive winners on a night of fabulous racing.

Maxactor was caught wide around the first bend from gate four but Dunn decided to press on and found the lead after going 500 metres of the 2150-metre journey.

When in front, he managed to control the tempo through the middle stages for a much-needed breather, which left his charge with enough in reserve to scoot home in 56.3 and score by 2.3 metres in a rate of 1:56.9.

Later in the night, Bondi Lockdown lined up in the $10,000 three-year-old pace for another step on his pathway to the Victoria Derby.

The brilliant colt did everything his quote of $1.40 favourite expected – straight to the front, a mid-race stroll in the park and a ripping final half in 54.5 seconds for a solid, five-metre victory.

Hoping for finals action Horsham Demons’ under-18 girls footballers will resume training tonight while crossing their fingers they will be allowed to play one last game for the year.

The Demons were scheduled to contest the Western Victoria Female Football League under-18 grand final against undefeated South Warrnambool last month, before the latest COVID-19 lockdown halted proceedings.

League officials have announced intentions to host under-18 and senior grand finals on October 3, with a venue to be determined.

They said if insufficient direction was available to schedule the matches by September 29, the grand finals would be cancelled and the teams that finished atop the ladders would be awarded ‘minor premiership’ status for 2021.

The Demons won nine of 12 matches this season to finish in second spot.

Coach Terry Arnel said he and his charges were looking forward to a shot at the premiership, ‘if we can make it all happen’.

“It seems like a long time ago now, but the girls earned their spot in the grand final,” he said.

“We’re still geared up but we’re not as well prepared as we were back then.

“We’ll get back into training, if for

nothing more than a bit of preparedness for a grand final if it happens, and nothing less than a bit of physical activity and exercise for the girls anyway.”

Arnel said there was plenty of interest in girls football this season.

“We’ve had really good numbers, which have increased as the year’s gone on – we’ve ended up with 27 or 28 in our group,” he said.

“We have a lot of new players and we really hope their first-year experience into footy has been enjoyable.

“It’s really been a good group, a good demographic of first-year players and ones who are into their second or third year.

“It’s an enjoyable group to coach.”

Arnel said while there was significant interest in the sport, inconsistency in competition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had affected numbers.

“The interest is definitely still there though,” he said.

“There’s an idea to have an under-14 comp, which lessens that gap for the under-18s. While the interest level is still there and the pathways are becoming more obvious, we just need more consistency – we’re competing for the same people across the same sports.”

Juniors impress Horsham District Football Netball League’s top junior participants have won recognition for their outstanding seasons.

Rupanyup’s Connor Weidemann and Pimpinio’s Fredrick Frew have tied for top honours in the under-17 football division, polling 13 votes apiece.

Only one vote separated the pair from runners-up Jye Brown, Pimpinio, and Lachlan Weidemann, Rupanyup, with Kalkee pair Isaiah Adams and Vincent Macalinga coming third on 11 votes.

Several under-14 players proved to be vote magnets throughout 2021, with two footballers collecting 30 votes throughout the shortened 12-match season.

Laharum’s Monty Wynne and Edenhope-Apsley’s Ryley Munro claimed best-and-fairest accolades after outstanding performances throughout the year.

The pair won two votes clear of runner-up Austin Giusa, Swifts, with Kaniva-Leeor United’s Shayden Saunders third on 24 votes.

The netball grades were also hotly contested, with Pimpinio’s Tahlia Thompson triumphing in 17 and unders.

Thompson polled an impressive 26 votes, ahead of Kalkee’s Olivia Brilliant, 25.

Taylors Lake’s Kayla Kelm was third on 22 votes.

In the 15 and unders, two votes separated winner Adelle Weidemann, of Rupanyup, 24 votes, and Kaniva-Leeor United’s Victoria Verrall.

Third place went to Taylors Lake’s Lilly Weir, with 19 votes.

Isla Hiscock picked up 25 votes to win best-and-fairest honours in the 13 and unders.

Natimuk United’s Ella Hallam and Rupanyup’s Phoebe Downer were runners-up on 20 votes, with Mia Rees, Harrow-Balmoral, and Eliza Vivian, Kaniva-Leeor United, third on 19 apiece.

For the love of the game P

BY DEAN LAWSON

assionate Horsham District football and netball advocate Fred Mellington will step away from league administrative responsibilities after two decades of continuous service.

Mr Mellington’s decision to depart from the league board coincides with Wimmera Mallee Coaches Association presenting him with a 2021 Distinguished Service Award.

After receiving his award, the figurehead, who as chairman has had the tough job of leading Horsham District league through the COVID-19 pandemic, said he felt quite humble.

“When you’re born in the Mallee this is the sort of thing you just do – volunteer and help in any way you can,” he said.

“In growing up in Yaapeet if you

were born with one arm you ran the boundary, if you were born with one leg you worked on the scoreboard and if you were born with one eye, you were the goal umpire,” he laughed.

“The one option you didn’t have was to do nothing.”

Mr Mellington confirmed he was standing down as both chairman and from administrative duties after 20 consecutive years on the management board.

He said his motivation had been a strong belief that community team sport was integral to the health and vibrancy of regional communities.

“I really don’t have the words to describe just how important football, netball and club and team sport in general is to small towns and their people,” he said.

“It is an environment where everyone is equal, where the only differ-

ence between everyone involved is the colour of your jumper or skirt.

“I can’t express enough about the implicit value of team sport to our children, our juniors, in teaching them life skills they don’t even know they are learning.

“By simply being involved in a team environment, children learn to depend on and support each other, trust in each other, learn to lose as well as win – everything we use as adults in life.

“Those skills spread into the wider community and help drive us and it is this value that becomes glaringly obvious when coping with the situation we’ve had in the past two years.”

Mr Mellington said he would let others judge how well he did his job representing Horsham District league.

“I know personally what I’ve achieved and what I’m particularly proud of,” he said.

Mr Mellington’s first move when joining the league was to push for every club to have an opportunity to host finals and he was also a key figure in working towards securing a league naming-rights sponsorship.

Perhaps his most profound advocacy came in 2009, when he lobbied parliamentarians against hikes in water rates for sporting reserves that he believed had the potential to cripple clubs.

“I wrote to every politician I could think of and had responses from seven,” he said.

“To cut a long story short, a 2000 percent increase in costs not only didn’t go ahead but costs were eventually less than before what was being proposed.

“It’s also a pretty poorly kept secret about how much I have loved interleague footy.”

Hockey leaders cancel season Wimmera Hockey Association leaders have cancelled the remainder of their 2021 season.

The decision means the association season will end without teams competing in finals.

Association spokesman Simon King said likelihood of a ban on community sport until the end of this month and no further guarantees had prompted the move.

He said the association did not consider it feasible to extend the season into October based on a risk of clashing with the start of summer sports, should they be able to go ahead, and players not having had a competitive hit-out since mid-August.

The association has decided it will declare premierships and present individual awards for 2021 at a presentation event before the 2022 season, when more people could attend.

Musgrove season’s leading goal-kicker Horsham District Football Netball League’s senior leading goal-kicker for 2021 is still hopeful some form of finals series will go ahead.

Rupanyup coach Jack Musgrove kicked 55 goals at an average of 4.58 a game in this year’s shortened 12-round home-and-away season, to win the accolade.

But the Panthers star has his eyes on a bigger prize, a senior premiership.

Rupanyup’s senior side enjoyed its best season for some time in 2021, dropping only two games for the year to finish second on the ladder.

The Panthers were due to have a week off in round one of finals before meeting undefeated minor premier Noradjuha-Quantong in a second semi-final the following week.

The league is at a standstill, however, following the latest COVID-19 lockdown, with leaders awaiting further direction from the State Government and AFL Victoria.

Although clubs can resume training, there is still no word as to if or when regional clubs can resume outdoor sporting competitions.

League officials are still hoping to push forward with a finals series, most likely as a top-four competition over two weeks.

Musgrove said he was also hoping the league would be able to present some form of finals football.

“It’s been a big effort there over the past couple of years, trying to get up to that position we’re in now,” he said.

“To miss finals would be pretty devastating but hopefully we can get a few finals games in there.”

COVID-19 restrictions have also affected this year’s league bestand-fairest counts and presentation nights.

The league last week announced its 2021 award winners online, with senior footballer and A Grade netballer vote counts occurring simultaneously via radio on 1089 3WM. Officials have been presenting awards to recipients throughout the week, with league chairman Fred Mellington congratulating Musgrove in person.

On accepting his award, Musgrove joked he ‘probably kicked more points

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER than goals’, but had enjoyed his best goal-kicking year for some time.

“I’ve had a few injured seasons – I barely got any kicks for a few years but I’ve been injury-free this year, which has been good. It’s been a bit of a change,” he said.

“I’ve been playing a lot down back but I snuck up forward there for a bit this year and kicked a few goals.

“Obviously it’s a bit easier to do so in a good side. We’ve had a few recruits come in. You’re only as good as the people around you and I had good delivery.”

Musgrove said he loved being part of the Rupanyup club after spending the past five years in Panthers colours.

“They’re great people and it’s a great environment. That’s really what’s

made me stick around,” he said.

While he said he was hoping to return in 2022, he needed to get through this year first.

“At the moment I’m just trying to keep that motivation to play and keep fit, when you just don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

Loyal volunteers acknowledged

W

immera Football Netball League officials have announced the latest hardworking, dedicated club people to be in the running for a ‘volunteer of the year’ accolade.

The overall winner will be announced later this month, to coincide with annual Wimmera league bestand-fairest awards.

All six ‘volunteer of the month’ winners will vie for the overall title.

This month’s nominee is Courtney Williams of Southern Mallee Giants.

The league has also announced winners for August, Julianne Phelan, Warrack Eagles, and July, Liam Newell, Minyip-Murtoa.

Mrs Williams coaches the Giants’ 13 and unders and is Net Set Go coordinator.

Club president Nicki Bellinger said the coach was first to put up her hand to help with the ‘every day’ things that kept the club ticking over and game days running smoothly, such as umpiring, first aid and scoring, which she completed ‘without fuss and with a big smile’.

“Courtney goes beyond the norm,” she said.

“She mentors our juniors to instil a love, passion and commitment to netball.

“She trains our juniors then trains with the seniors so she can purpose-

ly practise present-day training drills and set plays, always transferring that information to the junior girls.

“Courtney often meets the young girls at the courts just to throw a few goals and to check in on their wellbeing. She has become their voice and safe place.

“But the best thing about Courtney is she does things that I don’t know

about, there’s no fuss, no ‘I did this so I’m not doing that’, things just get done. She might not be the face of the club or have the loudest voice, but she is what our club stands for – she is the quite achiever who strives for our club to not just succeed but remain unified and fun.”

Warrack Eagles leaders nominated Mrs Phelan for her work on the club’s

board and helping with finances, along with game day secretary duties.

She coaches C and C Reserve netball teams, is Facebook ‘advertising queen’ and has helped set up club lotto this year.

Mrs Phelan has also written successful grant applications and does ‘a lot of un-noticed hours behind the scenes’.

Mr Newell is in his second year on the Minyip-Murtoa Football Netball Club board and is sponsorship director.

Club secretary Lucy Young said Mr Newell had navigated the past two seasons ‘with professionalism second to none’.

“Liam managed to not only get all previous sponsors to recommit to their sponsorship, he was still signing up new sponsors in round seven, putting the Burras in a great financial position,” she said.

“Liam has also been paramount in making sure we are abiding to the AFL COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, setting up systems and cleaning stations across both our grounds to make sure we are compliant.

“He attends trainings and game days as our COVID safety officer to make sure these duties are being carried out.

“As if this is hasn’t been enough, on home games Liam can be found manning the barbecue for a bacon and egg breakfast, moving to the can bar for the afternoon, with his day often ending manning the bar for the awards.”

The trio joins other volunteer of the month winners, Ararat’s Jenny Dunn, May; Horsham Saints’ Nathan Martin, June; and Nhill’s Karen Rintoule, July.

Leagues hold out hope W

BY DEAN LAWSON

immera and Horsham District football and netball officials continued to keep their finals series in a holding pattern last night as they awaited any COVID-19 updates regarding community sport.

With neighbouring leagues having already abandoned their seasons, Wimmera and Horsham District competitions remained poised to seize any opportunity to present finals.

AFL regional manager Jason Muldoon said it was unlikely community sport would get any go-ahead to resume weekend competitions before September 23.

He said because finalists under regional restrictions were allowed to train, it remained that finals might be

possible, albeit without crowds, from September 25.

“There is still no direction on when we can return to play,” he said.

“It really does depend on vaccination rates. We hear we’re tracking ahead of the September 23 date to reach 70 percent, but it remains a waiting game to know what that will mean and what’s going to happen.”

If community sport in the regions can resume on September 25, both leagues could present finals involving top-four teams and play grand finals the following week.

Horsham District league will only present grand finals if it can have leadup finals on September 25.

Wimmera league has plans to present top-versus-second grand finals as a last resort.

“Having a training phase changes everything. We didn’t expect to have any lead-up training opportunities but because we have, we can be ready for the 25th if it does eventuate,” Mr Muldoon said.

“Not many leagues are still going on with the season and we’ve been lucky that we’ve had no active COVID-19 cases.”

Mininera and District and North Central are among latest leagues to have cancelled their seasons.

Mr Muldoon said there had been discussion about playing senior and junior-grade football and netball finals on different days or staggered times.

“Those finer details will be discussed when and if the opportunity arises,” he said.

Horsham District Football Netball

League chairman Fred Mellington said returning to play would be dependent on having a minimum number of 300 people at a venue as well as being allowed to play.

“We need to be able to fit that number of people into a venue to make it all work. We also have to rely on clubs, players and parents to do the right thing and get in and out as quickly as possible,” he said.

“We’re going to have a financial hit to host finals, no doubt. But we want to legitimise the season if we can and give some reward to the players, volunteers and clubs that have put so much effort into it this year.”

Wimmera Football Netball League chair Pauline Butler said players being able to train had helped generate hope that finals could get underway.

“Regardless of whether finalists can play, being able to train has given them an opportunity to get back to what they love. To be able to socialise with their peers is fantastic,” she said.

“For us at the moment it’s not off until it’s off and we’re continuing to be as optimistic as we can. We know the restrictive activities direction goes to September 23 and are hoping for a good result after that so we can return to community sport that weekend.

“I can’t see anything changing for this weekend, but the following week we might get some further announcements.

“Yes it’s a waiting game and we get it and understand that it has to be safe for everyone. But when and if announcements are made we will be ready to ‘rock ’n roll’.
